Better standards compliance. Good security features. New browsing conveniences (Activities and WebSlices). IE7 mode renders exactly the way the current browser does.
Some major sites that don't implement standards display incorrectly. Chock full of crash-causing bugs. Very slow, at times. Sucks down large quantities of system resources.
Watch the Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 Video Review!
Bottom Line
This version of Microsoft's browser brings the product into closer compliance with Web standards and adds a couple of interesting features. Aside from that (and new internal changes), this first beta looks nearly identical to Internet Explorer 7. This is an early testing version meant for developers, so as you'd expect, it's buggy. In addition, the new support for standards actually prevents some major sites from displaying correctly, so I wouldn't recommend using the beta.
New Features: Activities and WebSlices
The two new headline capabilities in IE8 are Activities and WebSlices. Both are designed to add functionality from third-party services without requiring you to leave the page you're viewing.
The Activities feature reminds me a bit of Yahoo! Shortcuts which, when you hover the cursor over dot-underlined text, pops up options that let you, for example, map a place name or add an e-mail address contact list. Activity options in IE8 include Translate, Send, Map, Find, Define, and Blog. Just by highlighting a paragraph, I got a northeast-pointing green arrow that dropped down choices for Activities I'd installed. I was thinking my "Find product with eBay" action would display in the first list, but it was available only from "More activities." The feature is as a bit flaky at this point: It would work the first time I used it in a page, and then I'd have to reload the page to see it again.
When I highlighted the text "MacBook Air" on the PCMag.com site, I was rewarded with the Activity arrow/drop-down and was able to map the nearest locationMuskoka Airportin a small window over the page. Hmm. Clearly there's some work to be done here, since and airport doesn't really have a lot to do with a laptop that happens to have "air" in its name, but it shows the technology's potential. I was unable to find any results in the eBay Activity, but its small window is brimming with potential. You don't even have to click on the activity you want in the arrow drop-down; just hover the mouse over it, and, in this case, for example, a map displays.
Activities worked with some sites and not others, seemingly at random: They worked on PCMag.com but not on Yahoo! or The New York Times site. Microsoft has provided developers with documentation for building their own Activities. With its new push towards openness, the company is making the technology behind both Activities and WebSlices available under a wide mix of licenses, including Public Domain, Creative Commons, free BSD (for copyrights), and the Microsoft Open Specification Promise (for patents). This should increase the appeal of the new features to independent developers.
The second major new feature, WebSlices, lets you subscribe to content within a page, provided the site's developers have enabled the feature. So far, sample WebSlice-capable sites include StumbleUpon and eBay which let you quickly display an updated window of hot sites or auction items, respectively. Setting up a WebSlice from such a site is simple. When your mouse is over the sliceable area, you'll see that part of a page is boxed with a thin line, and a purple icon with circles will appear at the upper-left-hand corner of the box. Clicking on the purple button brings up a small confirmation dialog stating the name and source of the WebSlice.
When you've added a WebSlice, a link for it appears on your toolbar, just as with any other Favorite. But this toolbar button drops down a partial page window, rather than navigating you to a full Web page. An "Open" choice at the bottom of the mini window navigates you to the full site. Also, when you're on a site that supports WebSlices, your RSS toolbar button changes to the same purple circle icon, and clicking it drops down all the slice choices on the page, for instant subscription and adding to your Favorites toolbar.
When one of your WebSlices has new or changed content, its toolbar entry will have bold text to notify you. The feature seems like it could be useful for those who want to keep track of a single eBay item or news topic, but it also seems to put too much onus on site developers; it would be nice if the feature also worked with standard RSS or Atom feeds. The RSS reader in IE8, incidentally, remains similar to IE7's, displaying in the sidebar, though now WebSlices appear along with regular feeds.Browsing and Performance

Jacksons (plus) five
Perhaps because he grew up as a foster child, Willie Jackson and his wife, Sabra, are the model of ideal foster care parents.
The Jacksons have welcomed five children from the Board of Child Care's Treatment Foster Care (TFC) program. The last two, a pair of 14-year-old twin Hispanic sisters, were legally adopted by the Jacksons in 2015.
"The Board of Child Care goes beyond just providing care," Willie Jackson says. "The way BCC treats these kids is why we welcome these children into our home."
For many years, Willie has mentored Baltimore's gang populations while Sabra taught etiquette to disadvantaged children, but it was ultimately Sabra who pushed the couple to do more. Now it is a cookout, or a ballgame at Baltimore's Oriole Park at Camden Yards or a trip to Ocean City, MD with their extended, nuclear family.
Patricia Wilson, BCC's Treatment Foster Care director, describe families like the Jacksons as TFC's "lifeblood."
"Driven to serve others," Wilson says of the ideal foster parent. "They're willing to work with a young person to help them achieve their life goals."
Willie Jackson isn't shy about telling perspective foster care parents what to expect.
"You'll need patience, understanding and love. In return, BCC gives you a kind ear, a sounding board and understanding," Jackson says. "The staff at Board of Child Care have become part of my family. Pat Wilson and her team treat us like family, so that's how we treat them."
Did You Know: 96 percent of parents recommend BCC's TFC program to friends and family – 2015 Overall Customer Satisfaction Survey
— This profile is part of BCC's 2015 Annual Report

Google researchers and academics have today demonstrated it is possible – albeit with a lot of computing power – to produce two different documents that have the same SHA-1 hash signature.
This is bad news because SHA-1 is used across the internet, from Git repositories to file deduplication systems to HTTPS certificates used to protect online banking and other websites. SHA-1 signatures are used to prove that blobs of data – which could be software source code, emails, PDFs, website certificates, etc – have not been tampered with by miscreants, or altered in any other way.
Now researchers at CWI Amsterdam and bods at Google have been able to alter a PDF without changing its SHA-1 hash value. That makes it a lot easier to pass off the meddled-with version of the PDF as the legit copy. You could alter the contents of, say, a contract, and make its hash match that of the original. Now you can trick someone into thinking the tampered copy is the original. The hashes are completely the same.
SHA-1 is supposed to be deprecated but too many applications still support it, including the widely used source-code management tool Git. It is possible to create two Git repositories with the same head commit SHA-1 hash and yet the contents between the two repos can differ: one with a backdoor stealthily added, for example, and you wouldn't know this from the hash. Again, the hashes would be completely the same.
Specifically, the team has successfully crafted what they say is a practical technique to generate a SHA-1 hash collision. As a hash function, SHA-1 takes a block of information and produces a short 40-character summary. It's this summary that is used compared from file to file to see if anything has changed. If any part of the data is altered, the hash value should be different. Now, in the wake of the research revealed today, security mechanisms and defenses still relying on the algorithm have been effectively kneecapped.
Abandon SHA-1p! Google's illustration how changes made to a file can sneak under the radar by not changing the hash value
The gang spent two years developing the technique. It took 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 SHA-1 computations, 6,500 years of CPU time, and 110 years of GPU time, to get to this point. The team is made up of Marc Stevens (CWI Amsterdam), Elie Bursztein (Google), Pierre Karpman (CWI Amsterdam), Ange Albertini (Google), and Yarik Markov (Google), and their paper on their work can be found here [PDF]. Its title is: "The first collision for full SHA-1."
The tech world is slowly moving from SHA-1 to newer and stronger algorithms such as SHA-256. This latest research underlines the importance of accelerating this transition. It's utterly unlikely anyone will create a rogue SHA-1 hash any time soon from the team's work, due to the amount of computation power required, although this would be a terrible excuse for inaction now that a problem has been confirmed. It is not beyond the reach of a Western intelligence agency, if it really, really wanted to forge a TLS certificate, a Git repo, or a document – and this process will only get easier over time.
"Today, 10 years after of SHA-1 was first introduced, we are announcing the first practical technique for generating a collision," the research team said today.
"This represents the culmination of two years of research that sprung from a collaboration between the CWI Institute in Amsterdam and Google … For the tech community, our findings emphasize the necessity of sunsetting SHA-1 usage. Google has advocated the deprecation of SHA-1 for many years, particularly when it comes to signing TLS certificates. As early as 2014, the Chrome team announced that they would gradually phase out using SHA-1. We hope our practical attack on SHA-1 will cement that the protocol should no longer be considered secure."
David Chismon, senior security consultant at MWR InfoSecurity, told The Register: "The SHA-1 algorithm has been known to be weak for some years and it has been deprecated by NCSC, NIST, and many vendors. However, until today no real-world attacks have been conducted. Google's proof of concept, and the promise of a public release of tools may turn this from a hypothetical issue to a real, albeit expensive one.
"The attack still requires a large amount of computing on both CPUs and GPUs but is expected to be within the realm of ability for nation states or people who can afford the cloud computing time to mount a collision attack."
Google has tried other tactics to encourage SHA-1 sunsetting such as having its Chrome browser mark sites "insecure" if they have SHA-1 signed certificates. The research into collisions might be taken as a further shot across the bows of those ploughing on regardless in relying an obsolete cryptographic algorithm.
Chismon added: "Hopefully these new efforts of Google of making a real-world attack possible will lead to vendors and infrastructure managers quickly removing SHA-1 from their products and configuration as, despite it being a deprecated algorithm, some vendors still sell products that do not support more modern hashing algorithms or charge an extra cost to do so." ®

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at KPMG (San Francisco, CA).
Simple - basic background question eg education, previous work history - have u led a team before, previous clients - industry, challenges, strength and weaknesses, to be honest interviewer spent more time talking about themselves and their experience
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG.
The first interview was over the phone given the fact that I was in a foreign country at the time. The person I had the interview with what in charge of resources. The second interview I had was with one of the directors of the division.
Interview Questions
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Salt Lake City, UT) in April 2015.
Interview was rather easy. They asked about you and your experience. Everybody was very helpful.
I gave negative experience only because I have to wait 2 weeks until they decided not to proceed with my application. After denial I try to apply to San Francisco office where Experienced staff was in great demand. But at that time I was no longer eligible for transfer L1 visa.
As the result i do not get job with L visa and have to wait until H1B. And KPMG lose experienced professional who are in demand in other offices.
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KPMG (Stamford, CT) in October 2014.
Came in and saw 2 partners. casual chat with the first one mostly talking about his experience with the firm over the years and answered some questions from me. Second partner wanted to know specific areas of audit work i have done in the past.
Interview Questions
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG.
Expect some behavioral questions. I was hired from an internship position. Originally, i was interviewed on campus. I do recall some tough questions, but overall, the interview seemed more laid back than some of the other big accounting firms. Once I got past the on-campus interview, I did interview with several other members of management prior to being offered my full-time position after graduation.
There was no negotiation.
It was what I expected. They came on campus for a first round. Then the second round was held in the office. Soon after, the they called to give an offer and I was able to start with the next start class.
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KPMG (Washington, DC) in April 2011.
The interview took place with 4 different individuals - all senior managers and partner level. Each lasted 30 minutes, and they asked various questions each.
In all, they covered topics from specific accounting treatment for PP&E, how I have worked with bosses that I did not get along with in the past, how my work culture was, and the reason for why I quit. They gave me a good overview of what the new place of work would be like.
Interview Questions
None really. Just bid high, and they'll reward.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (San Francisco, CA) in October 2010.
This was 3 years ago, but.... The initial process was through campus recruiting and was well run. I felt comfortable with the recruiter, and the questions were pretty standard (why did you pick accounting, how have you done in your classes, etc). I flew out to San Francisco for an interview and was treated very well (comparable to other firms, but with a more personal touch because the people picked to have dinner/breakfast with me had common interests that had clearly been selected for that reason). Interviews went well and were still primarily vanilla questions - it was also great that the process seemed to be geared toward a mutual fit. I was allowed to ask a lot of questions, and got to talk to the partners and managers about their clients and experiences.
What really stood out was the professionalism of the recruiting team. Another Big 4 firm really dropped the ball in terms of coordination and follow-up (with the exception of an offer, which was extended within a few hours). KPMG's recruiters were organized, friendly and prompt (and still quick with an offer)
This was an entry level position, and while I was honest with the recruiter about a marginally higher offer from another firm, there wasn't really any room to negotiate. The interview process also took place in late 2010 when the market was still pretty weak.
I interviewed at KPMG (Harrisburg, PA) in April 2010.
Hiring process started for me with an on campus visit. KPMG tends to send a manager that was a graduate from the specific college since they know the professors and seek the advice from them as to who to hire. On campus interviews are held with the manager to determine if there is a chance for an internship. Very rarely are individuals hired directly. The use the internship and externship processes as on extended interview.
Interview Questions
Non. Starting Salary is what it is at this point
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KPMG (Gurgaon, Haryana (India)).
It was a direct face to face interview, which was very easy & was not so much technical. In technical, only 1 question was asked,what did u did in audit.
Interview Questions

Once you see Graduated Enhancement, you'll know it's true. You'll also be the only one to know about Graduated Enhancement, unless you tell, of course.
Graduated Enhancement: Uniquely Beautiful
The Graduated Enhancement Method is not one solution, but a series of fourteen different solutions, each one dedicated to solving a particular pattern of women's hair loss. There are Graduated Enhancement hair replacements designed to supplement hair in just the crown area. There are those designed to add volume to the top of the head while maximizing the use of existing hair: particularly good solution for women suffering from diffused hair loss.
A specific Graduated Enhancement solution also exists for suffers of hair loss in the hairline and /or front mid-scalp area. In fact, there's Graduated Enhancement Method use for every type of women's hair loss, including total coverage solutions for women whose hair loss is caused by alopecia or medical treatments.
How Graduated Enhancement Works
The definition of the Graduated Enhancement Method lies in its name: It's method of increasing the volume of your own hair that is graduated (or increased) according to the amount of hair you need. As you might expect, Graduated Enhancement is many things given the wide variety of resolutions it provides.
What is common to all Graduated Enhancement Method hair replacements is that they utilize 100% human hair. Simply put, Graduated Enhancement will make you look and feel as if you have never had any hair loss. The hair color can look just like your own, or to shade you feel is most complimentary. The styles in which your hair can be worn are almost boundless.
The texture of the hair will be duplicated from your own existing hair. And the feel of Graduated Enhancement is one of unimportance. The hair substitute itself is so light you'll never know it's there. All you'll feel is the hair you once had. And that feels incredible.

Out and About: Roseway Revival
By Kathy Eaton
with photos by Jane Perkins
See our Facebook album with more of Jane Perkins' Roseway photos here.
History of merchants
Platted around 1911, the Roseway neighborhood is bounded on the west by Northeast 62nd Avenue, on the north by Northeast Prescott Street, on the east by 82nd Avenue, and on the south by Northeast Sacramento Street. South of Northeast Fremont Street, Roseway is bounded on the west by Northeast 65th Avenue.
In 1985, George A. Denfeld published 65 Years: Lives and Legends in Upper Sandy Boulevard (57th to 82nd), documenting Roseway's history and events from the early 1920s. In 1947, fifty-four business owners met at the Roseway Theater and formed the Upper Sandy Merchant's Association, electing Denfeld as the first president. The business group defined its boundaries from Northeast 56th to 83rd Avenues, from Northeast Sacramento to Prescott Street. Denfeld cites 25 grocery stores within the merchant's association, including George's Food Market, which he opened in 1935. Denfeld didn't begin his career in retail, however.
After receiving a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1917, Denfeld taught at several universities before moving to Portland in 1920. By 1925, he left academia and started working at Piggly Wiggly Market, located on Sandy Boulevard and Northeast 78th Avenue. Ten years later, Denfeld opened an independent grocery store, George's Food Market, when Herb Fairley built an addition to his drug store located at 7206 N.E. Sandy Blvd. Within six months, Piggly Wiggly closed its doors but Denfeld remained in the grocery business for 46 years until his retirement in 1981.
Denfeld, a personal friend of Fred G. Meyer, learned Meyer was evaluating a site on Northeast Sandy Boulevard near 70th Avenue to build a new Fred Meyer shopping center. In 1948, Meyer bought property from Northeast 69th to 71st Avenues and demolished several houses. When Eugene Murray refused to sell his home on Northeast 69th Avenue, Meyer built the Rose City Shopping Centre around Murray's house. Long-time Roseway resident Bonnie LaDoe recently recalled attending the 1949 carnival-like opening celebration and rode the iconic Ferris wheel that was set up in the parking lot. Cited as one of the largest stores with roof parking, escalator, grocery and drug sections in Portland, Rose City Fred Meyer operated for 42 years until it shuttered in 1991.
Fred Leeson, who authored the definitive biography of Fred Meyer, My-Te-Fine Merchant (Irvington Press, 2013), wrote that approximately 100 small business owners from Sandy Boulevard attended the opening ceremony of the Rose City store. "While homeowners might not want the intrusion of a big store in their neighborhoods, nearby businesses loved Fred Meyer. They fed on the traffic his one-stop shopping centers attracted," wrote Leeson. In 1991, the Rose City Fred Meyer was leveled and a new Safeway grocery store, 6901 N.E. Sandy Blvd. was built one block west. Murray's home was removed and relocated to North Portland according to LaDoe.
Roseway landmarks
Northeast Sandy Boulevard cuts diagonally through Roseway, showcasing a handful of businesses that date back to the early 20th century. An independent grocery store built by C. W. Emmrich in 1911 is the oldest commercial building in Roseway. Today, located next door, Pizzeria Otto, 6708 N.E. Sandy, previously housed St. Germaine Cleaners.
Fairley's Pharmacy opened in 1913 and has been locally owned and operated since. They've updated their soda fountain menu to include espresso drinks, in addition to traditional phosphate sodas. Former boxer Joe Pinz bought Roseway Barber Shop, 7220 N.E. Sandy Blvd. in 1956, and his son, Marty joined the family business in 1990. The Roseway Theater, 7229 N.E. Sandy Blvd., opened in 1924 and ownership changed over the decades until Greg Wood acquired it from Bob and Kathy Kane. While the theatrical pipe organ is long gone, the theater's been substantially renovated while preserving the historical integrity.
A number of Asian markets and businesses moved into Roseway during the 1970s and 1980s, according to long-time resident Ted Carlston. The Rose City Liquor Store, 7253 N.E. Sandy Blvd., was previously an attorney's office and originally housed a cafe, according to Bonnie LaDoe.
The Portland International District formed in 2007, replacing The Upper Sandy merchants association whose legacy continues today with an international vibe, including Mama Leo's Restaurant, 6728 N.E. Sandy Blvd., featuring Venezuelan and Columbian cuisine and Bacchi's Italian Deli, 6633 N.E. Sandy Blvd. Roseway merchants from the last century might be delighted to see vintage items for sale at Dr. Tongue's I Had That Shoppe, 7129 N.E. Fremont St. and surprised to see Roseway Play Café, which recently opened at 7135-37 N.E. Fremont, serving coffee and pastry to adults while kids play in a fun environment.
Roseway residents witness history
Bonnie LaDoe grew up in Roseway and lived most of her life there before relocating to a retirement community in East Portland earlier this year. LaDoe was 10 years old when her parents moved from North Portland to Roseway in 1947. She attended Gregory Heights School and graduated from Grant High School in 1955. LaDoe began working for U.S. Bank after school during her senior year and didn't leave until she retired in 1994.
LaDoe is an avid genealogist and has cataloged a treasure trove of historical material and photos featuring Roseway. She's documented the histories of numerous businesses located in the Upper Sandy business district, including the first Safeway built in 1940 on Northeast Sandy Boulevard. LaDoe has the June 6, 1947 issue of a newspaper serving Roseway that was subsequently named "Upper Sandy News." Today, 78-years-old LaDoe recalls with clarity what it was like growing up in Roseway and has conducted a few oral history interviews to document life in a neighborhood where she lived for 58 years.
Life-long Roseway resident Ted Carlston recalls when grocer George Denfeld, who lived on Northeast 72nd Avenue, closed his last store at 6127 N.E. Fremont St. "I lived my whole life in Roseway, so I take an interest here," said Carlston. His grandmother traveled west in 1905 from the Dakotas to attend the Lewis & Clark Expo, and stayed. His grandparents lived on Northeast 76th Avenue, in the same neighborhood where Carlston was raised. "We were dirt poor," said Carlston, whose family didn't own a car, and ultimately paid $5,000 for their family home. Carlston still has the baby photo taken in 1954 by the Gerber baby food company who paid his mom for the photos. The first record of his family's home was 1911, and the sidewalks are dated 1912.
Holly Hood, who grew up on Blue Lake in East County, moved to Roseway 21 years ago from the Hollywood District. While they enjoyed the amenities of Hollywood, at the time it lacked a grocery store, so she and her husband, Miles TeSelle moved to Roseway. The house they found "was painted Pepto Bismol pink on the outside," said Hood, "but we knew it had potential and bought it." She recently recalled visiting artist Claude Monet's home in Giverny, France, noting a similar paint color scheme. "The previous owner must have fancied herself an Impressionist," said Hood, smiling.
While researching the history of their house, Hood learned it was the original farmhouse on the property settled by Sumner and Eula Clark Newell in 1905. Hood and Teselle are the third owners of the home located in the Belle Crest addition of Roseway.
With a Bachelor of Science degree in animal science from Oregon State University, Hood worked veterinary care until she opened a garden retail store, Hollyhocks Garden Essentials located on Southeast Belmont Street. Nine years later, in 2014, Hood found her perfect job as retail buyer of pet supplies for the Oregon Humane Society's Best Friends Corner, located at 1067 N.E. Columbia Blvd. Hood and her husband have raised two Doberman pinschers while living in Roseway. Hijack, their 3-year-old dog, enjoys walking the perimeter of the nearby Rose City Golf Course with his owners. Hood owned a mare growing up in East County and worked for a horse farm prior to attending college.
"It's really cheap therapy to be around horses," she said. Her passion for horses led her to volunteer for Sound Equine Options, a non-profit organization located in Eagle Creek, Oregon. The organization was initially founded to provide food for neglected horses, and they've partnered with OHS and other rescue organizations to rescue, train and re-home horses. For more information: See soundequineoptions.org.
According to Hood, Roseway is a quiet working class neighborhood. "It's a tight-knit community with three generations of families who've lived and owned homes here."
Hood was dismayed to see Rose City Nazarene Church torn down and replaced with Walgreens, 7016 N.E. Sandy Blvd. "Roseway won't become a vibrant neighborhood unless we implement new zoning laws that provide for mixed use," said Hood. "Walgreens is a glaring example of how a property could've been put to better use."
Roseway Neighborhood Association breaking records
Erik Carr, current chair of the Roseway Neighborhood Association said Roseway had a record number of volunteers helping with the neighborhood clean-up event in June, and February's tree planting event at the park blocks was a huge success with 50 volunteers participating. RNA provides a forum to advocate for positive changes for residents and actively supports the business community. "Roseway has an active Tree Team and partners with Portland's Urban Forestry program to make the park blocks an amazing asset for the community," said Carr. The RNA anticipates large crowds attending upcoming summer concerts and movies in Wellington and Glenhaven parks. For more information: Visit roseway.org.
Ted Carlston, who works at a small machine shop in Northeast Portland, has served on the board of the Roseway Neighborhood Association and is currently vice chair. He said increased traffic through Roseway represents one of the biggest changes he's seen during the past 20 years, specifically commuters from downtown Portland who discovered Northeast Sandy Boulevard as the shortest commute distance to I-205. The major arterial, particularly at the intersection of Northeast Sandy Boulevard, Northeast Fremont Street, and Northeast 72nd Avenue, causes safety concerns for residents and the intersection creates confusion for drivers.
Note: Hollywood Star News photographer Judy Nelson is currently recovering from shoulder surgery, but plans to return in September for Out and About in Laurelhurst. Special thanks to Star photographer Jane Perkins for stepping in this month to photograph Roseway.
Correction: In June's Out and About Column, the name of Portland artist Lee Hunt who created bronze life-size sculptures depicting three Beverly Cleary characters on the westside of Grant Park was inadvertently omitted.

Mechanical engineering degrees typically take four to five years to complete, and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS), or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME). In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090).

Lisa Rodriguez was on a mission: Get as much free stuff as possible.
The Ontario mom, 36, stood in long lines hoping to nab some swag during the first day of the Vans U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, where crowds filled in through the hazy morning and thickened as the sun peeked out in the afternoon.
She hit the hula-hoop competition, a relay race, and stuffed marshmallow bunnies in her mouth – seven of them – for a free T-shirt. She waited 30 minutes to play a version of skeeball, rolling skateboard wheels up a wooden ramp to try and get them into holes set in skateboard decks. For her efforts, she scored a Vans coin purse.
"We come here every year to see the surfing and play games with my family," said Rodriguez, joined by her 17-year-old daughter. "It's always a good time here."
This year's U.S. Open of Surfing has a renewed focus on action sports, but still offers a handful of booths set up by sponsors to keep people busy through the day.
Martin Valenzuela and daughter Julia of La Mirada found a spot on metal benches overlooking a graffiti-splashed concrete bowl where BMX riders were getting air off the lip.
"It's pretty cool, I've never seen it in person before," said Julia, 16, of the BMXers' performance.
Julia came last year with friends; this year her dad was just "tagging along," Martin Valenzuela said.
Steve and Ann Kariniemi were slathering on sunscreen after spending the morning watching the junior men's surfing competition. The couple was vacationing in Costa Mesa from Scottsdale, Ariz., and decided to come learn about the sport.
"I surfed many years ago, or I tried," Steve Kariniemi said.
Ann Kariniemi was impressed with the setup of the massive event, which sits on 14 acres on the south side of the pier.
"It's like a city on the beach," she said. "We're maybe going to get him a T-shirt, to advertise we were here."
Steve Kariniemi said he'll be back as the surfing action heats up.
"I'm curious to see how the men's surfers are, as the waves get bigger," he said.
The main men's event kicks off on Monday.
Pro surfer Brett Simpson, who won the event in 2009 and 2010, is geared up to surf his hometown break. The contest in his backyard gives him a chance to recharge at home with family, including a 9-month-old baby.
"I think that's what I've always enjoyed about this event, I can get up early surf, go home, and just be comfortable," he said.
"I think that's why I've had great success in the past," Simpson said.
Surf forecasters are predicting 2- to 4-foot surf for the first part of the event.
"There's going to be little waves; it's not going to be dead flat," Simpson said. "We'll just do what we can."
Surf fan Paul Morales of Newport Beach liked the cleaned-up look of this year's event.
"It's not so cluttered," he said.
He said he likes that there's no concert this year.
"I love the fact that they are going back to focusing on surfing, and the skating and BMX, too. Kids do everything these days, not just one sport," he said.
This year, he might even bring his younger nieces and nephews, where in previous years he's kept them far from the event.
"I thought it was too out-of-hand," he said.
Local business owners are hoping for increased foot traffic, but without the out-of-control crowds that showed up last year.
Jason Hilbert, owner of the Easyrider shop downtown that had its window smashed last year, isn't worried about this year's event. Workers and friends had to fend off the raucous crowd trying to loot bikes out of the shop after the event wrapped up a year ago.
The riots brought the community even closer, he said. People gave unsolicited donations – more than $5,000 – and Hilbert said he decided to "pay it forward" by donating the funds to local charities.
The event is something Hilbert has enjoyed since the '80s. Last year's problems are in the past, and he's confident this year's event will be smoother.
"Being able to see and meet my surf and skate heroes as a kid is something that I personally will never forget. It appears that the event has redirected its focus on the athletes and their related sports, instead of free concerts and promotional vendors spray-painting logos on people," he said.
"We feel fortunate having some of the best athletes in the world perform on our beach. Let's not let a handful of unruly kids ruin it for the rest of us," Hilbert said.

If anything is familiar to 82-year-old Liz Popovich, it's her polished wood violin. When Popovich glides the bow across the strings, her face lights up. In that moment, she's carried away by the sound of music she plays entirely from memory.
And that's what's intriguing.
Popovich is one of an estimated 5.4 million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease. It's a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. So how is it possible for Popovich, who struggles at times to recognize her daughter who she sees regularly, to recall and play music she learned years ago on her violin?
Dr. Kemal Chemali of Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, in Norfolk, Va., says that positive reactions to music in Alzheimer's and dementia patients are common. Memory lost elsewhere can be temporarily restored through music, because unlike other cognitive functions within the brain, which are relegated to specific lobes, music is free to interact with the entire brain.
It's why we can affix an emotion or a memory to a song. Even experts don't full understand how, but signs point to the ability of music to retrieve lost memory using neurons as conductors. Healthy neurons reactivate neurons damaged by Alzheimer's disease, thus restoring a memory, if only temporarily. This is why Popovich can remember people and things when she plays or hears familiar music.
"We know that certain areas develop more when you are a musician," said Chemali. "Motor areas develop well when you study an instrument. If she can still play the violin, she can create emotions and memories and play more music."
Chemali cites procedural memory — the part of the long-term memory that is responsible for knowing how to do things like picking up and playing an instrument — for making Popovich's memories stronger, but said even though music and music therapy have been shown to slow disease progression in Alzheimer's patients, that the prognosis remains the same.
"We think that exposing patients to music also improves general cognition, behavior, nutrition and education. But Alzheimer's is progressive and eats up neurons. No matter how many connections you build, you can slow it, but the disease is going to win," said Chemali.
For Munn, watching her mother digress has been difficult. This isn't the Liz Popovich she is used to be. That Liz Popovich, born Elizabeth Colleen Nantell, was a fiery go-getter.
Raised in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in a town called Escanaba, Popovich grew up ice skating on Lake Michigan. Her love for music began in childhood. According to Munn, her mother may have had some lessons along the way, but she's mostly self-taught. She played the violin when she was eight and picked up the French horn and piano. "Music was always a cornerstone for her," Munn said.
After high school, she trekked to Chicago, Ill., to attend nursing school at Wesley Memorial Hospital School of Nursing, where she graduated in 1955. She met Robert Popovich on a blind date and the pair married that same year, a 58-year union that bore six children — four boys and three girls of which Munn is the oldest — and six grandchildren.
"My mom was an unbelievable wife, mother and grandmother. Even with six children, she was a fantastic seamstress. I think I can still remember every outfit she made for me," said Munn.
For 30 years of her life, Popovich worked as a high-risk delivery nurse at Centegra Health System in McHenry, Ill., where she would join helicopter flights when expectant mothers needed to be transferred to other hospitals for delivery.
After retiring, she devoted her time her grandchildren. She still found pleasure in swimming, ice skating three times a week, going to the gym six days a week, singing in the choir, gardening, reading, feeding birds, knitting daily and practicing her violin as soon as she woke up every morning.
That's is the Liz Popovich who Munn remembers.
While Alzheimer's began to take hold of her mother, in 2013, her father, Robert Popovich grew ill, was hospitalized for several weeks and then died unexpectedly. It was now on Munn to be her mother's caretaker.
Munn was working to transition her parents to an assisted living facility at the time of her father's death. She and her husband, Tom — who were both planning to retire — decided instead to include moving Popovich from Chicago to Williamsburg with them with the intent of placing her in a memory care unit.
In January 2015, Munn brought her mother to the Clare Bridge Alzheimer's and Dementia Program at Brookdale Senior Living Solutions, where she was one of the first residents. Munn still remembers when her mother got off of the airplane before arriving in Williamsburg; the only thing she was carrying was her violin.
"It was her most prized possession," Munn said.
With her mother in care, Munn decided to do something for herself. She and her husband took a class called "Behind the Scenes at Williamsburg Professional Symphony Orchestra" offered by William & Mary's Christopher Wren Association.
It was there where she met Carolyn Keurajian, executive director of the Williamsburg Symphony Orchestra. Unbeknownst to Munn, that meeting would rekindle lost aspects of her relationship with her mother.
Munn shared the story of her mother's love of orchestra and playing the violin. She also told Keurajian that she could no longer take her mother to the evening concerts because Popovich has sundowning, a condition that creates confusion, agitation and disorientation after sunset in those with memory loss.
Keurajian invited Munn and Popovich to attend the orchestra's rehearsals at the Kimball Theatre on Duke of Gloucester Street since they were held during the day.
"We were one of less than 10 people in the Kimball Theatre," said Munn. "She always sits in the third row right behind Janna [Hymes], the conductor, and she thinks they're performing a concert just for her."
Munn noticed that after exposing her mother to music rehearsals that Popovich could hold conversations, talk about the music she just heard, and discuss the instruments and performers. Keurajian made the same observation.
"When she walks in she seems confused. After rehearsal, she is very verbal and can talk specifically about what happened in the rehearsal. She's present," said Keurajian, who added that since Popovich has been attending, Munn emails her warm letters thanking her for giving her mother back to her.
Chemali said that science aligns with what Munn and Keurajian are witnessing.
"Music is one of the last things to go in Alzheimer's. You may forget who you are, who your kids are, but you can remember a song and sing it without making a single mistake," he said.
So for now, Munn has the mother she remembers as long as Popovich can recall the music. Munn takes her mother to scores of concerts during the holiday season — 24 last year and 17 planned for this year — just to see her face light up and enjoy conversations again. But her deepest gratitude and appreciation is extended to the kindness shown to her by the Williamsburg Symphony Orchestra.
"It's gives her the sense of who she once was and what she was able to do. It makes her feel special," Munn said. "What the symphony has given her is the nicest thing that's happened to her."

Maybe The Next President Will Not Be Ponjuble.
Created October 3, 2014
I was eating pancakes when a falling star hit me like a ton of bricks. I woke up to find myself on mom's kitchen floor with a foreign person picking up star fragments off the cranium of my head . He said his name was Ponjuble .
I said," who are you friend ?" He said," I am Ponjuble the third. I am the fine son of Ponjuble Junior, and the grandson of the great Ponjuble the elder of the fantastic Ponjuble family."
I said ,"well what do you know, I would never have imagined , and event like this would ever happen in my boring existence, or a person like you would just show up from nowhere , or a falling star would almost do me ultimate harm."
Ponjuble said, " Well you know how it is according to physics. Anything can happen pal ."
" I will be the next President of You're United States of America , " said Ponjuble.
I responded by saying ", the only way you might be elected president is if you are a citizen of the U.S.A."
I said, " You must have a clean record , and be of age".
"You should at least be a senator, or a governor".
Ponjuble replied, " where have you been ? I am a senator of planet Padukey , and I am a citizen of Kansa, and I personally knew Dorothy, the tin man, the scare crow, the lion, and Todo who all knew my friend the Wizard of Oz, and the electoral college said it was O.K. with them if I run, and I am way over twenty one, and I saved you're life from a falling star."
I said, that's nice that you saved my life, but you need the help of the internet.
Ponjuble said, " I know little about the internet you little discouraging punk ? "
"You want to be president, and you do not have a computer, or have people who can work on you're campaign, and you do not have support from a party ?"
" Abraham Lincoln did not have everything either ", said Ponjuble.
I said," give it a try. I'll vote for you if you can answer some stuff."
Ponjuble said, " go right ahead buddy boy."
I said , can you be a little bit more friendly, and have a better attitude without talking smarty britches, and by referring to me as something other than a punk ? Can you do that ? Well is it in you're nature to be at least polite.? You were doing great until you revealed the dark nature of you're soul. People who would choose to vote for you would have to trust you with deadly Nuclear weapons, so you need to get you're atitude together you stinker ?"
Ponjuble said, " I do not think that would be a big deal . Are all presidents nice. Is being nice a prerequisite ?"
I said," it sure as hell is a prerequisite when you need to show the rest of the world that you can conduct you're self in a civilized manner without making fellow world leaders sore as hell because of a stupid attitude."
I said," well go ahead, and try it, and run if you can take the heat. If you can not, then you may as well not run at all . In any case you are still brave, for saving me from a falling star that could have left me with permanent brain damage."
"Thank you Ponjuble for saving my life. The Medal of Valor belongs to you , right beside my pancakes. I was eating them because my mama made them fresh, and just right for me".
"You are welcome to sit down, and have some pancakes with me with light syrup which has less sugar, and less calories. You are my friend, and I may, or may not vote for you, if you promise not to act too large for you're panty hose".
I said," and you need to say hello to my mama."
Ponjuble said, " good morning Mr.s who ever you are."
"I was shocked the way he addressed my mama. I would never vote for a stinker like this, even if he saved my life. I appreciate what he did by saving my life, but even though he was a kind of a friend, I did not like the way he spoke to my mama. Wars have been started by less."
My mama said, "even though he saved you're life, I want his ass out of my kitchen pronto because no body talks to me like that."
I said," O.K. mama I will tell him to leave, and to never come back."
I told Ponjuble to leave.
"Thanks a lot you ungrateful Americans," said Ponjuble.
Hilarious! I am laughing a lot. But, some political parties have candidates just so. We need new ones.
Hahaha, so creative and funny, dear stars. This was very good and entertaining. I pray you and your family are well.
Thank you for the laugh this lovely day.
Blessings always
You are so creative my dear friend. Love the double meaning in your tale of Ponjuble. How dare he speak to your mother like that! Hope you and your family are doing well. Lots of love, Linda
What a delightful tale you've told. I too was laughing and wondering at the incredible talent you have for thinking up fresh ideas. Great story!
Well this has me laughing so hard! Hope you had as much fun thinking it up! Hope this means you are feeling better!
God bless!

I recently interviewed a man who observed several strange lights near Marfa, Texas. Driving across the country, two days earlier, Mr. Greene decided to stop at the Marfa observation station, having previously read of the strange lights. He watched the sky for hours, grateful that the flying lights were active that night. [details became available in late 2010, in the nonfiction book on cryptozoology: Live Pterosaurs in America.]
Why consider that American "ghost lights" relate to live pterosaurs? Consider the ropen light of Papua New Guinea. From them we can learn that at least some living pterosaurs are bioluminescent, in particular the apparent Rhamphorhynchoids of the Southwest Pacific. Now consider how many strange lights are reported across the United States: North Carolina (Brown Mountain Light), South Carolina (Bingham Lights), Arkansas (Dover Lights), Washington state (Yakima Lights)–those are only a sample. Strange lights have appeared across the United States for decades or centuries; apparent pterosaurs have also appeared across the United States for decades or centuries.
A bioluminescent flying creature much larger than a firefly I label "B.F.C." Of course, not all strange flying lights are BFC, but I will also use this term to refer to ones with reasonable potential, from the perspective of my associates and I (who are convinced that the ropen is a bioluminescent Rhamphorhynchoid).
I took special interest in one of the lights that Mr. Greene described to me. It flew around for over two hours, until the sun was about to come up. At least once, it dived down, at a speed apparently consistant with what I would expect of a B.F.C. that is hunting bats, diving after one bat.
[The special characteristics of Marfa Lights should not be confused with ghost lights that may be barn owls.]

Funny you should say this....in that I plug in products I purchase , into my Diet Power program, and once in awhile I will recheck the nutrition label agains what I have posted already, and sure enough there will be a difference! - by SUNNYARIZONA
Some people are obsessed with exact measurements of foods. I know that every cow did not eat the same grass or walk the same distance to the barn. Each bean plant didn't get the same amount of sun or water. Labels aren't always correct. Do your best, but nutrition values are estimates at best.
It is good to be as accurate as you can when entering food values, but don't obsess. You're not going to get it exactly right no matter how hard you try.

Winter cleanup and a new Max
Well it is only letting me attach one at a time
Still only one at a time
Well this is the last one for now
How do you take off/put back on those casters? I need to put new seals and bearings on mine.
Pull the black cap and remove the nut they just drop out. It is just like the hub on a trailer.
Yep, I just got done reworking my 2009 Junior. New Kawasaki 16 hp motor with custom fabricated cooling filtration. New tires all the way around. Replaced all hoses and re-routed inside "hose sock" like newer models and ditched the Garmin GPS and installed one of the Trailtech Stryker Speedometers. About the only thing that is not new is the 4gpm pump. It's 5 yrs old now and still going. I'll have to admit that I have been looking at a new 5.3 gpm online as a replacement though...
I am looking into the 7gpm pump for my Max The Striker is nice
Trying to load more then one picture
We've repainted and done some work to our 2011 Jr 36 but I am going to use the Vanguard until this last stator we installed goes out. When that happens, I have a second Kawasaki on standby waiting to be installed. I found a deal on 2 new motors through an online wholesaler that was only about $300 more than I would have paid for just one at most other places. Couldn't pass up the great deal...No more down time replacing stators!

U.S. DOE To Continue Royalty-In-Kind Strategic Oil Stocks
WASHINGTON, April 4, 2008 (Dow Jones Newswires)
The U.S. Department of Energy Friday solicited bids for royalty-in-kind, or RIK, oil to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve by up to 13 million barrels from August to December.
Filling the nation's emergency crude stockpile when oil is trading over $100 a barrel is controversial on Capitol Hill, with many federal lawmakers - backed by consumer groups, trucking and airline industries - calling for the Bush administration to tap stocks to relieve price pressure.
The DOE said continuing the RIK program, which allows companies to pay royalty fees in barrels in lieu of cash, would fill the SPR at a fill rate of around 76,000 barrels a day over the six-month period.
The agency's current RIK program was due to expire in July. Bids for the new tender are due by May 13, with the contracts starting in July for first delivery in August.
The SPR has a capacity of 727 million barrels of oil, and currently holds approximately 700.9 million barrels - the highest it has been since the 2005 hurricane season - in the underground salt caverns located along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Texas.
The DOE said it will decide in coming weeks whether to go ahead with another controversial plan to buy crude oil in the open market to increase the pace of further increases in the strategic stockpile.
Just after the SPR hit its peak in 2005, President George W. Bush ordered the reserve tapped on Sept. 2 to cover supply disruptions after Hurricane Katrina disrupted oil and natural gas output and refinery operations along the U.S. Gulf.
The Energy Department sold 11 million barrels of crude oil after the Katrina disruption as part of a global coordinated drawdown with the International Energy Agency.
The DOE is required to spend the $584 million raised in the Katrina sale to repurchase oil for the reserve, and those plans to purchase crude for emergency storage when prices are near all-time highs have drawn heavy fire in Congress.
Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., has vowed to block purchases, introducing legislation that would prevent purchases of oil for the SPR until after crude oil prices have averaged below $50 a barrel for three consecutive months. That hasn't happened since December 2004-February 2005.
Dorgan said Thursday he hadn't yet determined the legislative vehicle for his proposal, but it could be attached to an emergency supplemental bill.
Crude oil prices touched a record high of $111.80 a barrel in recent weeks. At current prices, around $104.80 a barrel, the Katrina sale funds would purchase only around half of the volume that was sold, or about 5.6 million barrels.
