Junior golf's top honors were announced Tuesday by the American Junior Golf Association as 144 juniors were named Polo Golf Junior All-Americans.
The 2003 Polo Golf Junior All-America teams are comprised of juniors representing 30 states and eight foreign countries. These juniors will be honored Nov. 25 during the Polo Golf Junior All-America Awards Banquet at Walt Disney World Resort's Yacht Club.
Introduced by the AJGA in 1978, the Polo Golf Junior All-America teams recognize players who have proven themselves as the world's premier junior golfers. This year's Polo Golf Junior All-Americans distinguished themselves through their outstanding play in 72 national events, 51 of which were conducted by the AJGA.
"The AJGA takes great pride in naming the Polo Golf Junior All-America teams," said Stephen Hamblin, AJGA executive director. "Because of the amount of talent and competition today, this banquet truly has become the greatest night in junior golf as it honors the best players from around the world."
The AJGA's list of past first-team Polo Golf Junior All-Americans is comprised of many of today's PGA and LPGA Tour stars, including: Bob Estes, Mark Calcavecchia, Phil Mickelson, David Duval, Tiger Woods, Justin Leonard, Charles Howell III, Kelli Kuehne, Brandie Burton, Emilee Klein, Grace Park, Cristie Kerr, Beth Bauer and Candie Kung. This marks the 26th year of the AJGA All-America team and the sixth year of sponsorship of the All-America teams by Polo Golf, a division of Polo Ralph Lauren.
Five states and two foreign countries are represented on boys First Team
Two Californians highlight the boys First Team: Daniel Im of La Habra and James Lee of Indio. A two-time, first-team Polo Golf Junior All-American, Im picked up a national victory at the AJGA Lennar Junior at Mission Hills, while Lee had a solid season with a runner-up showing at the AJGA Greater Hartford Open Junior Classic and a quarterfinal appearance at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship.
Georgia natives Brian Harman of Savannah and Chris Kirk of Woodstock make their first appearance on the First Team. Harman won three major events: the AJGA Thunderbird International Junior, Chrysler AJGA Boys Invitational and the U.S. Junior Amateur. Kirk earned his 2003 win at the AJGA TaylorMade-adidas Golf Junior at Chateau Elan over Easter weekend.
Two North Carolina natives, Brendon Todd of Cary and Webb Simpson of Raleigh, added their names to the list of first-team honorees. Todd captured the AJGA Rolex Tournament of Champions title, one of the nation's most prestigious stroke play events. Adding his name to a list of past champions that includes Phil Mickelson, David Duval, Charles Howell III and David Gossett. A University of Georgia freshman, Todd also posted three other top-five finishes at AJGA events. Simpson is a familiar face on the All-America squad as this is the third year he has been named to the First Team. Simpson has three top-five finishes listed on his 2003 resume.
Jonathan Moore of Portland, Ore., returns to the First Team for a third consecutive year. Moore also made his third showing on this year's AJGA Canon Cup West Team.
Santiago, Chile, native Martin Ureta collected three national top-10 finishes, including runner-up honors at the AJGA Hargray Junior Classic in June. In July, he tied for sixth at the AJGA Rolex Tournament of Champions with rounds of 68-73-72-74–287 before heading to the University of North Carolina.
Patton Kizzire of Tuscaloosa, Ala., a semifinalist at the U.S. Junior Amateur, makes his first appearance on the First Team after garnering his first national victory in his home state at the AJGA Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail Junior Classic.
Rounding out the First Team is Tom Davis of Burgengary, Australia. Davis earned Polo Golf Junior All-America status after claiming the crown at the AJGA hp Boys Junior Championship in August and finishing sixth at the AJGA Thunderbird International Junior.
Girls First Team includes nine returning Polo Golf Junior All-Americans
In the Girls Division, three Californians highlight the First Team. Amie Cochran of Torrance, Paula Creamer of Pleasanton and Jane Park of Beaumont all earned first-team honors after impressive 2003 seasons. Cochran's first career national victory came at the AJGA Lennar Junior at Mission Hills. Cochran also tied for second at the AJGA Southwestern Junior Classic and the AJGA I.R.I. Golf Group Arizona National Junior. The 17-year-old tied the AJGA's Girls Division 18-hole scoring record in July (set by Leigh Anne Hardin in 1997) with an impressive round of 62 at the AJGA event in Tuscon, Ariz.
Creamer, who has a total of 16 career national victories to her credit, won the first five tournaments she played in the 2003 season, including the AJGA Polo Golf Junior Classic and the Doral/Publix Junior Classic. The 17-year-old continued the streak in the spring by winning the Junior Heritage, AJGA Heather Farr Classic and Scott Robertson Memorial Junior. She finished out the season with wins at the AJGA Rolex Girls Junior Championship and Lessing's AJGA Classic.
Jane Park picked up her third career national victory in 2003 at the AJGA McDonald's Betsy Rawls Girls National Championship and carded runner-up honors at the AJGA Rolex Girls Junior Championship and the AJGA Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail Junior Classic. Also in 2003, she advanced to the finals of the U.S. Women's Amateur.
Three girls on the First Team hail from Florida: Brittany Lincicome of Seminole, In-Bee Park of Eustis and Morgan Pressel of Boca Raton. Lincicome finished the 2003 season with eight top-five finishes, including wins at the AJGA TaylorMade-adidas Golf Junior at Chateau Elan and the AJGA First American Title Avila Junior Classic. The 18-year-old also carded a third-place finish at the AJGA Thunderbird International Junior.
Pressel picked up her first win of the season at the AJGA Buick Junior Open presented by Golfweek and followed it up the next week with another win at the AJGA Toldo Group Eastern Canadian Junior. She also made the cut at the U.S. Women's Open in 2003.
In-Bee Park, the 2002 Polo Golf Girls Junior Player of the Year, won the 2002 Orange Bowl International Junior Invitational and then added four more titles to her resume. Her first crown in 2003 was captured at the AJGA Dunlop Carolina Junior Championship in June, followed by a win at the AJGA Rolex Tournament of Champions. She won the AJGA PING Junior at The Peninsula Club before capping off the season with a win at the AJGA Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail Junior Classic in September.
Amanda Blumenherst of Scottsdale, Ariz., a 2002 second-team Polo Golf Junior All-American, claimed four AJGA victories this summer. Her 16-stroke win at the AJGA Boyne Highlands Junior tied an AJGA record for largest winning margin.
Ashley Knoll of The Woodlands, Texas, a freshman at Oklahoma State University, earned three consecutive victories in 2003. She took top honors at the AJGA Thunderbird International Junior and the AJGA Justin Leonard/Deloitte & Touche Junior Team Championship where she teamed with fellow Texan Mallorie Underwood of Montgomery. She claimed her final win of her junior career at the AJGA OSSO Junior at Oak Tree.
New Jersey native Sukjin-Lee Wuesthoff of Toms River fought back from a five-hole deficit to defeat defending champion In-Bee Park in the U.S. Girls Junior Championship to pick up her first national victory. She also won the Independent Insurance Agents Junior Classic.
Julieta Granada of Asuncion, Paraguay, never finished out of the top 10 in competition in 2003 and picked up wins at the AJGA Hargray Junior Classic and the AJGA ClubCorp Junior Players Championship. She also took runner-up honors at the AJGA First American Title Avila Junior Classic.
Ten boys and 10 girls were chosen for the Second Team, while 10 boys were named third-team Polo Golf Junior All-Americans. Fifty-eight boys and 36 girls were honorable mention selections. The Polo Golf Junior Players of the Year will be released to the media Wednesday.

Egyptian numerals
|Egyptian index
|History Topics Index
The Egyptians had a writing system based on hieroglyphs from around 3000 BC. Hieroglyphs are little pictures representing words. It is easy to see how they would denote the word "bird" by a little picture of a bird but clearly without further development this system of writing cannot represent many words. The way round this problem adopted by the ancient Egyptians was to use the spoken sounds of words. For example, to illustrate the idea with an English sentence, we can see how "I hear a barking dog" might be represented by:
"an eye", "an ear", "bark of tree" + "head with crown", "a dog".Of course the same symbols might mean something different in a different context, so "an eye" might mean "see" while "an ear" might signify "sound".
The Egyptians had a bases 10 system of hieroglyphs for numerals. By this we mean that they has separate symbols for one unit, one ten, one hundred, one thousand, one ten thousand, one hundred thousand, and one million.
Here are the numeral hieroglyphs.
To make up the number 276, for example, fifteen symbols were required: two "hundred" symbols, seven "ten" symbols, and six "unit" symbols. The numbers appeared thus:
276 in hieroglyphs.
Here is another example:
4622 in hieroglyphs.
Note that the examples of 276 and 4622 in hieroglyphs are seen on a stone carving from Karnak, dating from around 1500 BC, and now displayed in the Louvre in Paris.
As can easily be seen, adding numeral hieroglyphs is easy. One just adds the individual symbols, but replacing ten copies of a symbol by a single symbol of the next higher value. Fractions to the ancient Egyptians were limited to unit fractions (with the exception of the frequently used 2/3 and less frequently used 3/4). A unit fraction is of the form 1/n where n is an integer and these were represented in numeral hieroglyphs by placing the symbol representing a "mouth", which meant "part", above the number. Here are some examples:
Notice that when the number contained too many symbols for the "part" sign to be placed over the whole number, as in 1/249 , then the "part" symbol was just placed over the "first part" of the number. [It was the first part for here the number is read from right to left.]
We should point out that the hieroglyphs did not remain the same throughout the two thousand or so years of the ancient Egyptian civilisation. This civilisation is often broken down into three distinct periods:
Old Kingdom - around 2700 BC to 2200 BC
Middle Kingdom - around 2100 BC to 1700 BC
New Kingdom - around 1600 BC to 1000 BC
Numeral hieroglyphs were somewhat different in these different periods, yet retained a broadly similar style.
Another number system, which the Egyptians used after the invention of writing on papyrus, was composed of hieratic numerals. These numerals allowed numbers to be written in a far more compact form yet using the system required many more symbols to be memorised. There were separate symbols for
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90,
100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900,
1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90,
100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900,
1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000
Here are versions of the hieratic numerals
With this system numbers could be formed of a few symbols. The number 9999 had just 4 hieratic symbols instead of 36 hieroglyphs. One major difference between the hieratic numerals and our own number system was the hieratic numerals did not form a positional system so the particular numerals could be written in any order.
Here is one way the Egyptians wrote 2765 in hieratic numerals
Here is a second way of writing 2765 in hieratic numerals with the order reversed
Like the hieroglyphs, the hieratic symbols changed over time but they underwent more changes with six distinct periods. Initially the symbols that were used were quite close to the corresponding hieroglyph but their form diverged over time. The versions we give of the hieratic numerals date from around 1800 BC. The two systems ran in parallel for around 2000 years with the hieratic symbols being used in writing on papyrus, as for example in the Rhind papyrus and the Moscow papyrus, while the hieroglyphs continued to be used when carved on stone.

This recipe substitutes cauliflower for the traditional rice in Arroz con Pollo. The delicious Mexican dish is so much healthier without grains! It's also simple enough that anyone can make it.
In order to have some chance at keeping a trim, girlish figure, I limit our indulgent recipes to Saturdays. The problem with this is that I often want to indulge a bit on Friday night, say with dinner out at a Mexican restaurant. To keep myself away from the baskets of chips, I created this grain-free version of Arroz Con Pollo that tastes like "real" Mexican without the rice.
(Yield: 4 generous adult servings)
Cut the cauliflower into chunks that will fit into the mouth of your food process. Using the grater attachment to process the cauliflower, transferring the cut cauliflower to a large bowl as needed.
Melt 4 oz. of butter in your largest skillet and then add half of the cauliflower seasonings to it. Add half the cauliflower to the skillet and saute over medium high until the cauliflower is tender and has begun to brown. You'll need to stir and flip the cauliflower every few minutes. Repeat this for the remaining cauliflower.
Cut the chicken into thin strips or bite-size chunks, and then cook them in a hot skillet with a little oil. While the chicken cooks, add a few shakes of garlic powder, chili powder and salt. When the chicken is done, transfer it to a bowl and set it aside while you cook the veggies.
Slice the peppers and onions into long strips. Saute with a little oil and the listed amounts of cumin and salt until tender. Then add the chicken back into the skillet and keep warm until you are ready to serve plates. (If your skillet is large enough, you could probably cook the chicken and veggies at the same time. I can't!)
Cut the Velveeta into 1″ cubes and add it, along with the Rotel (undrained), to a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until all the cheese has melted.
Spread a large serving of cauliflower over the entire place. Place the chicken and veggies over the top of the cauliflower, and then drizzle queso over everything.

Outdoor Living Room
A Portland designer fuses indoors with outdoors
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 12
From twilight wine in the quiet bamboo grove on their property to exuberant gatherings around the fireplace in their terraced outdoor "living room," designer Henry Brown and partner Steve Bedford regularly turn their handsome '60s-era home inside out. Maximizing living space and creating an intuitive flow between interior and exterior spaces always requires thought and creativity. But factor in the location—beautiful but damp Portland, Oregon, where even the women's soccer team is called Portland Rain—and the duo has accomplished quite a feat.
Because the two own Bedford Brown, an upscale home and garden store in Portland, guests often expect an established garden rather than outdoor spaces elaborated mostly by foliage, Henry says. "We tried to restore it to what it was originally and also put our own spin on it. We're continually adding to it, changing things, and letting it evolve."
Located in the classic Portland Heights neighborhood, the multilevel home has a southern exposure that drenches interiors with light, permitting neutral palettes inside to segue into the colors of nature outside. They also love its placement. "The house sits as far as it can to one side of the lot line and very far forward, so the outdoor space is to the back and one side. It's unusual in the hills above Portland to have that much usable property. Because it's on a hillside, we've ended up with these little terraced areas that really lend themselves to outdoor rooms, each with its own character and reason for being," Henry says.
The main outdoor areas are an outdoor "living room" down a crushed granite path in the back and a large upper deck on the house, delineated by handsome charcoal-and-white awnings. Outdoor spaces are decidedly deciduous and coniferous, dappled by mini glens of birch, pine, camellia, magnolia, hawthorn, flowering plum, coastal redwood, and Italian cypress trees. Some of the trees provide a profusion of gold, russet, and burgundy leaves to watch from the home's multitudinous large windows as seasons change. Others flower in soft pinks and whites."I love the bare branches, too," Henry says, "especially with the dusting of snow that blankets everything in white."
Hedged with laurel and yew, accented with statuary, skirted with the soft fronds of ferns, and brightened by plants in
containers, the property was originally landscaped by noted Portland landscape architect Wallace K. Huntington. The architect of the home was the late Halsey Jones, dean of Northwest contemporary architecture.
A meditative space with a small ornamental pool is provided by the patio off the ground-level master bedroom. In the outdoor living room in back, guests relax on oversized wicker furniture for drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and sometimes dinner. "It has a really wonderful feeling, sheltered but also open because there's no roof over it," Henry says.
Because of the fickle Oregon weather, Henry and Steve entertain most often on the large upper level deck they added. It is made cozy by curtains, wired for party sound, and appointed for dining with casually elegant tables, chairs, and banquettes. "Because weather in Portland can be discouraging," Henry points out, "people have a tendency not to put their time and energy into outdoor spaces. This is a testament to what you can do here to enjoy a really nice, usable garden."

Surrounded by ferns, a cast-stone flame finial from Bedford Brown gives the outdoor living room that timelessly classic feeling.
The petite cast-stone pedestal table and wrought-iron chairs can be used for quiet dinners in this verdant setting. The table is topped by a chic black-and-gold pot of bromeliads with white blooms.
Stepping stones bordered by a rock wall covered with strawberry vine lead to comfy chairs.
Salvaged from the original '60s landscaping, limestone gives a sitting area character.
In this mostly foliage garden, a trio of potted bromeliads energize the outdoor living room's smart charcoal- and-white color scheme with their spikey bright red blooms.
Tucked into a corner of the garden is an armillary, an ancient instrument once used to determine various celestial positions and to demonstrate the motion of the stars.
Portland homeowners Henry Brown and Steve Bedford.
Henry Brown notes that taking the indoors outside is much easier today, with the wide array of outdoor fabrics and furniture now available.
"Outdoor furniture that is fully upholstered not only gives an indoor look, it also gives an indoor comfort level," says Henry. (Lee Industries, for example, has such a line.)
"When planning outdoor spaces, it's essential to consider scale, style, and color of the interior space from which it will be viewed," he advises.

B. Kenneth Simon, Entrepreneur
B. Kenneth Simon was a business owner dedicated to Pittsburgh and to the business climate throughout the tri-state region.
Simon was a firm believer that successful economies are built from the ground up through free enterprise and independent small businesses. He always wanted to help provide a place where young people could acquire the skills to help them grow their own local companies.
"I would like to see a lot of people who are capable take a shot at being in business for themselves," said Simon. "It's a lot of work to be in business for yourself, but there is a lot of gratification that comes from owning your own business."
Simon, a 1949 graduate of Cornell University, always had a soft spot for Robert Morris University since taking a public speaking course at the university more than 40 years ago. The course, he said, helped to make him a successful businessman and boost his communication and business skills.

In 1941, Rudolph Evans was commissioned to sculpt the statue of Thomas Jefferson. The statue of Jefferson looks out from the interior of the Memorial toward the White House. It was intended to represent the Age of Enlightenment and Jefferson as a philosopher and statesman. The bronze statue is 19 feet tall and weighs five tons. Adolph A. Weinman's sculpture of the five members of the Declaration of Independence drafting committee submitting their report to Congress is featured on the triangular pediment. Also noteworthy, and adorning the interior of the Memorial, are five quotations taken from Jefferson's writings that illustrate the principles to which he dedicated his life.
Few major changes have been made to the Memorial since its dedication in 1943. The most important change to note is the replacement of the plaster model statue of Thomas Jefferson by the bronze statue after the World War II restrictions on the use of metals were lifted. Each year the Jefferson Memorial plays host to various ceremonies, including annual Memorial exercises, Easter Sunrise Services and the ever-popular Cherry Blossom Festival. The Jefferson Memorial is administered and maintained by the National Park Service.
The Thomas Jefferson Memorial is located on the south bank of the Tidal Basin near downtown Washington, DC It is open daily from 8:00 am until 11:45 pm every day except Christmas Day. For more information call 202/426-6841. There are no fees to visit the Memorial. Metro stop: Smithsonian

I start the mini-lesson with a review of our classroom Discussion Norms and expected behavior during discussions and work time. My purpose is to continue to build a trusting and supportive classroom environment where all students can learn. I tie in my talk to our upcoming discussion and lesson by saying that "I treat people with respect." can be thought of as a big claim statement.
Teaching Point: Writers use their main idea to generate supporting details on their plan. Then they turn the plan into a paragraph writing in complete sentences with a subject and verb phrase.
I review the common mistakes on drafts chart and reteach that a complete sentence has a subject and verb. I make it clear to students that their paragraph will have at least 4 sentences. (Previously, I looked at student flash drafts from paragraph one and from previous essays in this unit and knew turning their jottings from their plan into complete sentences making a paragraph was an area that some students needed support. I make it brief as not to bore the students who already have this set of skills).
I want all students to be able to use their boxes and bullets plan to write in complete sentences using elaboration.
I show students my Boxes and Bullets page 1- the jottings and verbally how to elaborate from them. The last bullet point I talk about is how principals "can't" extend the lunch period. This is where I ask students to turn and talk about this point. Short turn and talks and whole class discussions are important to embed the mini-lesson because up until now, I have been doing all the talking. This is a chance to get students actively engaged in thinking, listening to each other, and sharing in a range of collaborative discussions. This teaching structure allows students to practice and gain skills in CCSS SL5.1-5.3.
The video shows how this discussion allowed for kids to agree and disagree with each other following discussion norms. The mini-lesson really comes to life when students add in their ideas and opinions! This turn and talk was intentional on my part because I knew students had learned a lot in their research period in the lesson before this one and I wanted to give them a chance to share what they had learned in authentic situation.
I quickly refocus students' attention back into the end of the mini-lesson by using the school wide quiet signal- raising my hand and saying "My turn", then I say, "If you can hear me, put your finger on your nose,... put your eyes on the screen."
In the next 30 secs to one minute I will prepare students to move into their partner or independent work phase of the workshop.
I say, "I have my supporting details, the tricky part is to take your plan with the few phrases ( what your finding today) and expand those and elaborate."
What do you have to do? kids say: "Expand and elaborate." Raise your hand if you can tell me what elaborate means." Those of you who don't know be listening. How do we stretch out our our sentences? Yes, add more words. What else?
Let's see how I elaborated. I will have students read one sentence at a time from Teacher Flash Draft page 1of my argumentative essay draft and we will see how many sentences I ended up with." I am hooking back to the beginning of the mini-lesson when I told student they needed at least 4 sentences in each paragraph (Teacher Flash Draft page 2). By asking different students to read each sentence, it supports students who are still learning what composing a complete sentence- the subject and verb phrase.
Dismissal to work time: "You may work by yourself. You may work with partners. Some of you are reading to get your supporting details. Decide what your going to do."
I model internal thinking for students and say "Am I going straight to my seat to work alone writing my second paragraph? Am I going to work with a parter because I need to do more research on an ipad? I do this so that everyone makes a decision before they start moving as to what they need to do and who they are going to do it with.
Students begin to settle into their work. I remind students with a beginning independent work time interruption to get out their boxes and bullets, rough draft, and pencil. Students figure out where to sit. Students are using the ipads and rereading, skimming, and scanning their articles. During the first few minutes students are settling into their work, Ms. Anna, the student teacher gathers a group of students on the back rug to find supporting details for their claim statement. Ms. E., the resource room teacher gathers her students and works with them. I move from partnership to partnership seeing that they are are track. Then I confer with one partnership that is working to find supporting details that "sack lunches should not be banned". The students have their second main idea that parents do not support the ban of sack lunches and I am asking them questions to get them to elaborate details for this main idea on their boxes and bullets planning sheet. I tell students they need to add details about their second main idea. I do this by asking them questions about their main idea, "Do you think that is true? Do you think adults should determine where, when and what children eat, and kids should determine how much and whether they eat. Why?" I reviewed with a student what the words "where, when and what" He then started to picture a scene using his background knowledge of a parent saying "You are going to eat at the dinner table, you're having spaghetti, and you're eating now". I asked, "Do you think the parent did their job? The student said yes. I asked what is the child's responsibility? The student said, to decide how much to eat, or whether to eat. Then the student said, "I'd eat all of it ..I like spaghetti." I coached the student in writing adults should tell children where, what and when...because... I told the student to explain this using his own reasoning. And then explain why they think a child should be in charge of how much and whether to eat. I continued to prompt their thinking by giving them this sentence stem, "This makes sense because..."
Mid workshop Interruption
About halfway through the independent/partner work time, I made an announcement to all students saying, "Push yourselves to turn your second reason why main idea and supporting details written in paragraph form on your draft."
I continue to confer with students, supporting them by asking questions and suggesting sentence stems to get them to elaborate their Student 1 boxes and bullets.
I bring the students back to the rug for our share and close. I say, "Today students I want to review my teaching point and your learning goal. What you learned today was how to find a main idea to support your claim. You did that by skimming and scanning an article that you had already read and you did that by looking for the important parts. You looked for who and what they said or did. That was the first part of our lesson and then you took your notes on your plan and turned it into a compete paragraph that is organized. You start with your big idea and then you have more sentences that tell about that idea. We have a few people who are going to read what they wrote."
I shared with the students how we share sitting in a circle to strengthen our community showing respect for each other. I make sure everyone is sitting in the circle and encouraged two students to move into the circle. I asked three students to share their Student 4: Flash Draft.

Long-term Data Retention: Challenges, Standards and Best Practices
The demand for digital data preservation has increased drastically in recent years. Maintaining a large amount of data for long periods of time (months, years, decades, or even forever) becomes even more important given government regulations such as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, OSHA, and many others that define specific preservation periods for critical records.
While the move from paper to digital information over the past decades has greatly improved information access, it complicates information preservation. This is due to many factors including digital format changes, media obsolescence, media failure, and loss of contextual metadata. The Self-contained Information Retention Format (SIRF) was created by SNIA to facilitate long-term data storage and preservation. SIRF can be used with disk, tape, and cloud based storage containers, and is extensible to any new storage technologies. It provides an effective and efficient way to preserve and secure digital information for many decades, even with the ever-changing technology landscape. Join this webcast to learn:
•Key challenges of long-term data retention
•How the SIRF format works and its key elements
•How SIRF supports different storage containers - disks, tapes, CDMI and the cloud
•Availability of Open SIRF
SNIA experts that developed the SIRF standard will be on hand to answer your questions.

Understanding Fibre Channel Scaling
Nov 6 2019
60 mins
Mark Rogov, Dell EMC; Brandon Hoff, Broadcom; J Metz, Cisco
One of Fibre Channel's greatest strengths is its ability to scale to thousands and thousands of nodes, while providing predictable performance. So, when we say that Fibre Channel has unmatched scalability, what does that actually mean? And how does it work?
We often hear about "designed from the ground up," but in this case it's actually true. From each individual link, to the overall domain architecture, each step along the way is intended to be approached in a scalable fashion.
In this webinar, we'll be breaking down the pieces of the puzzle that help give Fibre Channel its robustness when you're working at fabrics even greater than 10,000 nodes. We'll be talking about:
•What a deterministic storage network is
•Fabric management principles
•Negotiated credit transfers (buffer-to-buffer credits)
•Network Engineering/Design Principles
•Oversubscription and Fan-In Ratios
•Topologies that help scale
•Domains and Fabric limits
•Consistency of performance at scale
Along the way, we'll be talking about some of the ways that Fibre Channel differs from other popular storage networks as they approach large-scale environments, and how it handles issues that arise in such cases.
Please join us on November 6th at 10:00 am PT/1:00 pm ET for another educational webinar on Fibre Channel!

The role of the architect has changed dramatically in the past few years and is headed for even more change as the landscape of possible technology options is only going to increase. Faced with a list of options that is increasing almost daily across a highly competitive landscape, many architectural decisions have become an exercise in avoiding error rather than exploring possibility.
Whilst an acceptance of failure is becoming the norm in smaller development faced activities, architects must make big decisions that can affect the entire operation of an organisation. This webinar explores some ideas for architectural best practice and mechanisms for reducing risk whilst empowering architects to unleash some of the exciting new options available to them.

Lifestyle photography. The art of making models look like they're actually using a product, and are either enjoying it or at least doing it properly. Some call it a lost art.
I call it one impossible to master. But bless companies for trying, because were it not for that, then we wouldn't have comic relief like this.

Boutique B&B in a vintage house with panoramic views over the spectacular coastline, making this a perfect place for a break.
Surf School
Top class surf teachers will help you improve your surfing skills. We are known for our friendly approach and small class sizes (max 6 per teacher)
The Surfcastle
The Surfcastle is a boutique hotel and surf school which stands proud on the cliffs of the Peniche peninsula overlooking one of Europe's most beautiful and consistent surf spots.
We are so close to the waves that when the World Surf Tour comes to town each year, much of the action is seen from our terraces.
But it is not just its location which makes the Surfcastle different. Our house was built in 1920 as a traditional Portuguese family retreat and remains the most architecturally spectacular and comfortable property in the area.
It's grand rooms and grounds not only offer stunning panoramic views of the Silver Coast but the perfect place to kick-back and relax with family and friends and enjoy a fully rounded surf holiday.
The aesthetic, say our guests, is "shabby chic"; the vibe "informal, relaxed and fun loving... the ideal place to enjoy a surfing holiday in Portugal.".
In short, we are an old-style surf camp with added comfort, style and sophistication. A place you can enjoy even on those rare days the surf is down. A place where you can bring a non-surfing partner or kids without fear that they get stir-crazy or bored.

Congratulations to Gabriel Medina for winning his first Surfing world title. His brilliant 2014 campaign started earlier this year by winning the first stop of the world tour held in the Gold Coast of Australia. After that he won the contests in Fiji & Tahiti. Advancing into the final contest in Hawaii, Gabriel was leading the world ranking but nevertheless he was able to go all the way to reach the final of the Pipeline Masters.
His major rivals this year were Mick Fanning & the 11 world title champion Kelly Slater. These 2 legendary surfers showed great sportsmanship by congratulating Gabriel immediately after winning his first world title.
This is a very special moment in the world of Surfing because its the first time a Brazilian won the world title ! More than that he is the first ever Portuguese speaker to win a surfing world title, so the importance of this achievement goes way beyond the borders of his own country.
Gabriel Medina represents the new generation ! He is definitely leading a group of progressive surfers that is emerging worldwide and is taking this sport into the next level of performance !

This year we reached half a centrury of Surfing in Surfcastle ! This incredible milestone was celebrated by us during the entire year by designing and creating a symbolic Surfcastle 50 years logo and we produced merchandising (T-shirts & stickers).
We also organised a symbolic celebration in the Surfcastle during Spring with all the core surfers from the first generation of Surfers in Peniche ! We had the unique opportunity to share the surfing memories already lived in this house during all these decades by sharing old photos, videos and the epic stories of the amazing surf sessions. This was the perfect occasion for us to go surf together with the classic old vintage surf boards. After the surf sesion we organized a very cool lunch in the terrace & a little party in our bar, playing all the classic vinyl records… We honestly think that this core group of surfers already did so many good things to start & develop surfing in Portugal. The Surfcastle took the responsibility to provide this symbolic tribute to all the surfing pioneers of Peniche.

The Surfcastle overlooks Baleal island on the point which divides the surf breaks of Lagido, Prainha and Cantinho da Baia. It's a rare day when one or other is not working.
A few minutes drive to the south is the world renowned (but fickle and heavy) break of Supertubos. Moments to the north there are a string of excellent beach and reef breaks.
Baleal is the center of surfing holidays for the Peniche area and the Sufcastle sits at the heart of it. You can be in the waves within 60 seconds of leaving the house. Alternatively, wander over and take in the view from one of several excellent local cafes or restaurants.
Peniche is a five minute drive away but is not itself a surf destination. Still one of Portugal's main fishing ports, it is the place to go for markets, shopping, sightseeing and amazing seafood.
You can get to the Surfcastle easily from any of Portugal's airports but Lisbon is the closest and just an hour away. For directions see how to find us.
The Surfcastle prides itself on catering for everyone. Most of our guests are surfers but by no means all of them - and all are welcome.
We have single rooms for those who seek more privacy, groups of friends who share rooms to keep prices down, couples looking for a bit of romance and small groups and families who take advantage of our studios and the casa da guarda accommodation.
All our clean, charming rooms are within the whitewashed walls of the Surfcastle's grounds. Everyone shares the public rooms, terraces and gardens.
Breakfast is served every morning and we organise BBQs or meals out every week. We have free wi-fi for everyone.
For the surfers, there are dedicated changing rooms, complete with piping hot water and secure storage - so no worries about losing stuff or dripping water all over your beautiful bedroom!
Read more about the Surfcastle's amazing rooms, studios and casa da guarda on our accommodation pages.
Surf school, gear rental and surf lessons
The Surfcastle has an in-house surf school and a comprehensive selection of boards and wet suits for hire, so if you do not have your own gear or do not want to travel with it there is no need to worry.
Our surf school is run by qualified instructors and caters for beginners as well advanced surfers who are looking to fine tune their technique or style. We can offer group or one-to-one tuition - the choice is yours.
The unique geography of our location on the Peniche peninsula means we not only have rideable waves almost every day of the year but that we can almost always find a wave to suit everyone.
Even when its overhead and barreling on all the main breaks, there will safe and gentle waves for beginners in the more sheltered nooks and corners of the bay and island.
It is this amazing variety and consistency, with offshore conditions on at least one spot every day, which makes Peniche the choice of the World Surf Tour - the "California of Europe".

From the Xpra website:
Xpra is 'screen for X': it allows you to run X programs, usually on a remote host, direct their display to your local machine, and then to disconnect from these programs and reconnect from the same or another machine, without losing any state. It gives you remote access to individual applications.
- Xpra is "rootless" or "seamless": programs you run under it show up on your desktop as regular programs, managed by your regular window manager.
- Sessions can be accessed over SSH, or password protected over plain TCP sockets.
- Xpra is usable over reasonably slow links and does its best to adapt to changing network bandwidth limits. (see also adaptive JPEG mode)
- Xpra is open-source (GPLv2+), multi-platform and multi-language, with current clients written in Python and Java.
Install the package xpra-winswitchAUR from the AUR, in the server and client(s) machines.
nvidia or
ATi you will need to modify the default xpra config. Xpra fetches
-configdir from
xorg-server-xvfb which will be
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, there for you need to change this by following the three bottom steps of 1333056#p1333056 in order to run xpra locally.
Start an xpra server on the machine where you want to run the applications (we are using display number 7 here):
$ xpra start :7
Now you can start an application, e.g. firefox:
$ DISPLAY=:7 firefox
Or, if you want to start a screen session and execute the programs from there to be able to close the console:
$ DISPLAY=:7 screen [screen starts] $ firefox
Note that if you start
screen like this you don't have to specify the display number when executing programs. They will be running on the xpra display automatically.
After running these commands, you don't see any windows yet. To actually see the applications on your display, you have to connect to the xpra server. If you are connecting to an xpra display on the same machine, start the xpra client like this:
$ xpra attach :7
Or, if you are connecting to a remote machine over ssh:
$ xpra attach ssh:firstname.lastname@example.com:7
After starting the client, any programs running on the remote server display are displayed on your local screen. To detach, type
ctrl-c or use the command:
$ xpra detach ssh:email@example.com:7
Programs continue to run on the server and you can reattach again later.
You can stop the server with:
$ xpra stop :7
on the machine where the server is running, or remotely:
$ xpra stop ssh:firstname.lastname@example.com:7
For a complete manual, check
man xpra.
Tips and tricks
Start at boot
It is possible to start the xpra server at boot using a systemd unit.
Create the unit file:
[Unit] Description=xpra display [Service] Type=simple User=%i EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/xpra ExecStart=/usr/bin/xpra --no-daemon start ${%i} [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
Now create the configuration, adding a line for each username you want to have an xpra display:
Enable the service for each username that owns a display. In this example, the service would be
Method 1: .xinitrc
Add to your
~/.xinitrc file the line necessary to start the connection, adding an & at the end of the line.
Make sure to add such line before the
exec line.
For example, on a remote client it could be:
xpra attach ssh:firstname.lastname@example.com:7 &
Method 2: systemd user session
Configure your session to use systemd user session. Read Systemd/User for details.
Create the following service unit:
[Unit] Description=xpra client [Service] Type=simple EnvironmentFile=%h/.config/conf/xpra_client ExecStart=/usr/bin/xpra attach %i $OPTS [Install] WantedBy=default.target
Create the configuration file, using the options you want:
OPTS=--encoding=jpeg --quality=90
The service name would be in the format of
xpra-client@ssh:username@hostname:<display number>.service.
Enable that service, and remember to use the
--user flag on
Error: Only console users are allowed to run the X server
If the execution fails with this error message in the log file you need to make the following changes:
Create the file /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config with the content
