Tim Hudson, Michael Morse lift Giants to 5-1 win
Updated 11:45 pm, Friday, April 25, 2014
After the Giants went 76-86 last season, general manager Brian Sabean left the bulk of his roster intact. He did bring in two key free agents, pitcher Tim Hudson and outfielder Michael Morse.
Hudson and Morse took care of the heavy lifting Friday night as the Giants took care of Cleveland 5-1 in the opener of a three-game series at China Basin.
Though he lost his walkless-innings streak, Hudson (3-1) limited Cleveland to a run on four hits in seven innings. He has lasted at least seven innings in each of his five starts with San Francisco.
"One thing is I like him on our team so we don't have to face him," Morse said. "He's so good, man."
The last S.F. pitcher to work at least seven innings in his first five starts of a season? Livan Hernandez, who did so in six in 2002.
With two outs and a man aboard in the first, Hudson walked catcher Carlos Santana. That free pass was notable in that it was the first issued by Hudson this season. He had gone 30 innings without a walk, the longest such streak to start a season in franchise history.
Grover Cleveland Alexander set the major-league record for the longest walkless-innings streak at the outset of a season with 51 in 1923.
The Giants got to Carlos Carrasco (0-3) for two runs in the bottom of the first. After Angel Pagan's leadoff single, Hunter Pence drilled a triple into the alley named for three-base hits to make it 1-0.
Pence appears to be getting in gear at the plate; he has gone 9-for-16 in the past four games. He added an RBI single in the third.
Morse, now ensconced in the No. 5 spot in the order, provided a sacrifice fly in the first. Then in the fourth, he unleashed opposite-field power that might be described as Piazza-esque, drilling an 0-2 pitch into the bleachers in right-center. The Giants' lead had grown to 4-1.
Few Giants other than Barry Bonds have reached those seats. Morse mentioned some advice he received from Bonds.
"The one thing Barry told me in spring training was just try to go up there and get your hits," Morse said. "Home runs are a product of a good swing."
Said manager Bruce Bochy: "At night in that part of the park, the ball doesn't carry that well, but it was a no-doubter. I guess that's why he's got the nickname 'The Beast.' He's got unbelievable power.
"There's not a ballpark that can hold him, including this one."
Cleveland threatened in the sixth. After Jason Kipnis singled with one out, Hudson issued his second walk of the season. Sure enough, it was Santana again. He came into the game hitting .137.
Hudson then struck out Michael Brantley looking. Asdrubal Cabrera followed with a liner that initially appeared headed to right field. First baseman Brandon Belt speared it, and the Giants maintained their three-run edge.

Trail : home / Information : Equality
Currently being updated
Wellfield High School is an inclusive school and we focus on the well-being and progress of every pupil and where all members of our community are of equal worth.
The Governors of Wellfield High School believe that a Single Equalities Policy provides a framework to support their commitment to valuing diversity, tackling discrimination, promoting equality and fostering good relationships between people. Having a Single Equalities Policy in place ensures that they continue to tackle and monitor issues of disadvantage and underachievement of different groups.
All our pupils are of equal value whether or not they are disabled, whatever their race, culture, national origin or national status, whatever their gender, whatever their religious or non-religious faith.
Schools are required to have a Race Equality Policy, a Disability Equality Policy and a Gender Equality Policy. A Single Equalities Policy meets all these requirements in one policy.
The purpose of a Single Equalities Policy is to meet the school's duties to promote equality of opportunity for and between diverse members of the school community, including, disabled pupils, staff, parents, male and females and different racial groups within the school.
The following are the objectives of our action plan:

The biggest indoor theme park in Malaysia has 14 rides with two themes; Galaxy Station where you can find the 800m long Supersonic Odyssey and Fantasy Garden, which is more suitable for those with families and very young children. Recent visitors have been raising questions about the height restriction on many rides – at 140cm it precludes any but the tallest of children and makes the entrance fee much less worthwhile.

Simon Newcomb [1]
An old saying reminds us that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. In the case of an astronomer born on today's date in 1835, though, it was a journey across the solar system.
Simon Newcomb was 18 years old when he set out on foot for the United States from his native Nova Scotia. He had little education and even less money. Yet by the time his life's journey was over, Newcomb had helped plot the layout of the solar system, and the motions of its major bodies, in great detail.
Newcomb began his career as a "computer" -- a person who carried out the tedious calculations that today are done electronically. In time, he worked his way up to become director of the Nautical Almanac Office, which today is part of the U.S. Naval Observatory. He also was a professor of mathematics at Cambridge.
Newcomb made detailed observations of the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets using a new telescope he'd helped plan. He also used records from other astronomers -- in some cases going back two millennia. These allowed him to compute the orbits of Earth and the other bodies with greater accuracy than anyone before him. His work was so good that astronomers continued to use his calculations for decades.
Newcomb made many other contributions to astronomy, as well as mathematics and other fields. But he's best remembered for helping astronomers journey across the solar system -- without needing to take a single step.

Jan. 21, 2013
LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. - Siena College Men's Soccer Head Coach Gareth Elliott has accepted the head coaching position at his alma mater, the University of Rhode Island. The 2012 Anaconda Sports MAAC Coach of the Year, Elliott posted a 42-40-9 (.511) record in five seasons at Siena including a 24-14-5 (.616) record in the MAAC.
"The Siena community wishes Coach Elliott the best in his new endeavor," said Director of Athletics John D'Argenio. "Our men's soccer program showed very good improvement on the field, in the classroom and in the community under Gareth's leadership the past five years. We are committed to finding the right person to continue the great work Gareth has done."
Elliott guided the Saints to 10-win seasons in both 2010 and again last season, tying for the second most wins in program history. Last fall, Siena posted a 10-7 overall record and 6-1 mark in the MAAC with their .857 conference winning percentage marking the program's best ever.
Elliott, who holds the best overall and conference winning percentage in program history, guided the Saints to four MAAC Tournament Appearances in his five years including a pair of 7-2 conference records, both program bests. Under his leadership, Elliott developed the first two MAAC Offensive Players of the Year in program history in Emery Welshman (2010) and Sindre Ek (2012).
Siena posted a .500 or better overall record in four of five years under Elliott and in 2011 earned its first-ever wins over nationally ranked opponents in 15th ranked Ohio State and No. 16 Iona.
During his time in Loudonville, Elliott also mentored the first three student athletes in program history who went on to play professionally. Steve Covino and Joey Tavernese inked pro contracts in 2011 and Nick Viaggio began his professional career last year.
Elliott's teams also had tremendous success in the classroom. This fall Siena earned an NSCAA Team Academic Award after posting the 12th highest team GPA amongst all Division I program (3.38) and set a program record with 10 student athletes being named to the MAAC All-Academic Team. Additionally, last fall senior captain Jannis Opalka became the first student athlete in program history to be named one of just 30 candidates nationally for the prestigious Senior CLASS Award.
A native of Belfast, Northern Ireland, Elliott starred at striker at Rhode Island from 1998-01 where he was a three-time Atlantic 10 All-Tournament Team selection. He later returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach from 2003-07 where he helped guide the Rams to three Atlantic 10 Championships and three NCAA Tournament Appearances.

Running as root on Unix systems is anathema for any real use. It subverts the entire model of security and goes well beyond the browser itself. It's what made Windows ridiculously insecure to begin with, and that platform still hasn't entirely shaken the consequences.

Most likely not as usually Puppy is used just as a temporary solution and usually not run as a server. However, something not being documented does not equal that it has never happened.

The Secretary-General, Mr. Angel Gurría, will be on an official visit to Oslo on Monday 8th May 2013, to meet with the Norwegian Government, prepare the meeting of the OECD Council at Ministerial Level on 29th - 30th May 2013 (that will be chaired by Norway) and participate in the 9th ILO European Regional Meeting.
Norway should overhaul its approach to mental health issues in the workplace in order to help more people find a job or stay in work, and cut high and rising public spending, according to a new OECD report.
Tackling mental ill-health of the working-age population is becoming a key issue for labour market and social policies in OECD countries. OECD governments increasingly recognise that policy has a major role to play in keeping people with mental ill-health in employment or bringing those outside of the labour market back to it, and in preventing mental illness. This report on Norway is the fourth in a series of reports looking at how the broader education, health, social and labour market policy challenges identified in Sick on the Job? Myths and Realities about Mental Health and Work (OECD, 2012) are being tackled in a number of OECD countries. It concludes that Norway faces a unique situation whereby a generous welfare system stimulates large-scale labour market exclusion and significant socio-economic inequalities of people with a mental disorder, and hindering better outcomes of its employment and vocational rehabilitation programmes.

It also includes a summary chapter highlighting common challenges and policy responses. It is the third and last in a series which has covered eleven OECD countries.
The objective of senior budget official reviews is to provide a comprehensive overview of the budget process in the country or jurisdiction under examination, to evaluate national and or sub-national experiences in the light of international best practices and to provide specific policy recommendations.
This meeting will focus attention on the importance of high-quality early childhood education and care, highlight policies and practices that can enhance investment in it, and share perspectives and foster dialogue to promote understanding of the challenges.
The country statistical profiles include a wide range of indicators on economy, education, energy, environment, foreign aid, health, information and communication, labour, migration, R&D, trade and society.
This book provides, for Norway, an independent analysis from an international perspective of major issues facing the evaluation and assessment framework in education along with current policy initiatives and possible future approaches.

I'm having some performance issues with DrawNode, and I'm trying to figure out what's really happening.
The only thing on my scene right now is a DrawNode on which I call drawPolygon to draw a rectangle using 4 Points. (0 width and 0 alpha border)
But when I inspect the DrawNode, I see that _bufferCount is 30, and _buffer has a bunch of strange values.
Drawing a rectangle only should only need 6 vertices, so what is going on here?
Btw: I looked at the source code for drawPolygon, and there is a loot going on here, but non of which I'm competent enough to understand

Indianapolis Colts Dwight Freeney talks moving to outside linebacker — plus video of his intense workouts
Now that Chuck Pagano has taken over coaching duties for the Indianapolis Colts he is installing a defense very similar to what he did with the Baltimore Ravens. The biggest part of it? Switching a team that has played in a 4-3 foreverandaday to a 3-4 defense and moving two of it's prized Defensive Ends to Outside Linebacker. Now we get to see what Freeney and Mathis have when it comes to all facets — covering receivers near the line, dropping back more on the run, in addition to rushing the passer. According to Freeney, he still expects to line up on the defensive line a lot but playing a hybrid role lets them switch up things to confuse the other team's OL.
[To finish reading this post click Read More]
At the 10:02 mark in the video below, Freeney talks about changing his workouts and perhaps dropping a little bit of weight in preparation for his new role. The video is a little over 34 minutes but if you're interested in finding a few new moves you may consider watching the whole thing. I love what he was doing passing the medicine ball around his legs. I'm going try that even though I have childlike hands. LOL Side note: If you watch the video you may want to put it on mute so no one thinks you're watching pornography. There's a lot of breathing!!

Your annual physical is filled with routine events such as urine tests, reviewing medical history, and checking blood pressure. And if one pioneering researcher has her way, a blood test that screens for ovarian cancer and detects the disease in its earliest—and most treatable—stages will soon be part of that trip to the doc's office.
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecological cancers in the U.S., says Janna Andrews, M.D., assistant clinical professor of radiation oncology at Winthrop-University Hospital and an oncologist in the greater New York City area. In 2013, there will be roughly 23,000 cases of ovarian cancer and approximately 14,000 deaths.
The five-year survival rate for the disease is less than 45 percent, mainly because it's often caught in late stages since there are no effective proven screening mechanisms, Andrews says. On the flip side, when diagnosed at stage I, the five-year survival rate is closer to 90 percent—and that's where this new blood test comes in.
Karen Lu, M.D., professor of gynecologic oncology at the University of Texas, took annual blood samples of more than 4,000 women over an 11-year period to measure their levels of CA-125, a protein produced by a majority of ovarian tumors that's thought to be an indicator of ovarian cancer.
RELATED: 5 DIY Health Checks That Could Save Your Life
Currently, the national cut-off level for CA-125 is 35—anything lower rarely receives a closer look or leads to a woman being referred for an ultrasound to check for ovarian tumors, but a higher number usually results in a woman being wheeled into the operating room to have her ovaries removed and checked for cancer, Lu says.
An annual blood test, as performed in her study, personalizes the approach, she explains. "Some women may have higher CA-125 levels their entire life. Others may have low levels but those levels might start to creep up and take a few years to hit the 'one-size-fits-all' level of 35."
In the study, women who had sudden rises in their CA-125 levels met with a gynecologist and had an ultrasound. Ten of these women then underwent surgery. Four had ovarian cancer in an early stage, five had ovarian tumors that were either benign or classified as "low malignant potential" (they may become cancerous, but usually don't), and one had endometrial cancer. Two women who had cancer actually had CA-125 levels lower than 35.
Lu is cautiously optimistic this blood test will soon become an annual screening for women, and others say it could help save lives.
"This personalized approach can take into consideration a woman's risk factors for ovarian cancer, including genetic predisposition based on family history, age, a history of infertility, or endometriosis," Andrews says. "This could be a huge breakthrough in ovarian cancer, a disease that has shown only a slight decrease in deaths in the past three decades."
RELATED: This Woman Found Out She Had Ovarina Cancer While Trying to Get Pregnant
A larger study of the blood test is currently underway in the U.K., and results are expected in 2015. In order for the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force to give the blood test its stamp of approval, Lu says it has to be linked to a decrease in deaths.
Until this blood test or any early detection screening process is in place, make sure you know the most common symptoms of ovarian cancer: abdominal pain, bloating, and a change in bowel or bladder habits. If any of these last for more than two weeks, schedule an exam with your doctor.

Dielectric Resonator Oscillators (DRO) are used widely in today's electronic warfare, missile, radar and communication systems. They find use both in military and commercial applications. The DROs are characterized by low phase noise, compact size, frequency stability with temperature, ease of integration with other hybrid MIC circuitries, simple construction and the ability to withstand harsh environments.
These characteristics make DROs a natural choice both for fundamental oscillators and as the sources for oscillators that are phase-locked to reference frequencies, such as crystal oscillators.
This paper summarizes design techniques for DROs and the voltage- tuning DRO (VT-DRO), and presents measured data for them including phase noise, frequency stability and pulsing characteristics.
Design Techniques
The design technique we will discuss is for a dielectric resonator (DR) to be used as a series feedback element. Practically, a GaAs FET or a Si-bipolar transistor is chosen as the active device for the oscillator portion of the DRO circuit. The Si-bipolar transistor is generally selected for lower phase noise characteristics, while the GaAs FET is required for higher frequencies.
For example, a DRO with a DR as a series feedback element can be designed using following design procedure:
1. Select an active device that is capable of oscillation at the design frequency, and use the small signal S-parameter of the device for the design.
2. Add a feedback circuit to ensure that the stability factor of the active device with the feedback circuit is less than unity with enough margin.
3. Create an active one-port analysis that consists of the active device, the feedback circuit, the matching network and the load as shown as figure1. Optimize Za (?) with the parameters in the feedback circuit and in the matching network to ensure that Ra (?0) is less than or equal to -25 ohms and Xa (?) has the possible maximum variation near resonance in order to insure high circuit Q.

Wireless Optical Mesh Solution Networks
ClearMesh Networks Wednesday launched a wireless optical mesh solution designed to fill the gap between copper, RF and fiber in delivering 5mbps to 100mbps services to small and midsized businesses.
"There isn't a cost-effective way for carriers today to extend fiber to SMBs," said Fima Vaisman, ClearMesh's senior vice president of marketing, explaining their monthly spend of $500 to $1,000 does not support a fiber trench where it is not already available. "What we provide is a solution that extends the fiber core without having to trench fiber."
It also provides higher bandwidth than do copper and RF solutions, such as Wi-Fi and WiMAX, he said. "If a customer needs more bandwidth and they are looking for an SLA, we think there is a gap between those solutions provided at the entry level by WiMAX and Wi-Fi, and the high-end level by fiber. There is a gap in the middle. That is the gap we are trying to serve."
Available immediately, the ClearMesh Metro Grid solution includes the ClearMesh 300 node, which can be mounted on a pole or rooftop, and the ClearMesh Management System, which provides tools for installation, diagnostics, service analysis and provisioning. The ClearMesh 300 node combines wireless and optical technologies with a Layer 2 mesh architecture to deliver business-grade Ethernet.
"The ClearMesh 300 Node is a switching platform," explained Vaisman. "It has an Ethernet switch with 2-gigabit Ethernet capacity. Four of the Ethernet ports are copper and they are connected to optical transceivers."
The optical transceivers, he said, are LED-based, which gives them a wider beam than systems using lasers, like free-space optics. "What that allows the product to do is be installed on a light pole as well as on top of a building," said Vaisman. "A laser product cannot be installed on a light pole because the light pole has too much vibration, too much movement. The product wouldn't stay locked on. With the product we have the light beams are locked on and stay locked on using automatic tracking whether on a light pole or building. With that you have a much broader ability to deploy a mesh in a metro area. If the device moves, the light cone still hits the other node."
Each node has three optical transceivers, which operate on the license-free 850nm light band and reach 250 meters. Each transceiver is motorized, so it can move independently up and down, and 360 degrees around. "This allows each node to see three other nodes. Using that, we create a mesh," said Vaisman, explaining the mesh requires one node to be fiber-feed, and several nodes can be fed from the same fiber to increase the capacity delivered into the mesh.
The ClearMesh node lists for $6,000, and less in volume. Considering installation costs, the company uses $5,000 per node in its ROI calculations. In contrast to trenching fiber, ClearMesh can cover seven buldings in a MetroGrid network for $35,000 in a matter of days while the fiber deployment over the same area will cost $180,000 and take months to install, he said. With a single customer per building and a single T1 replacement at $500 per month, the payback is 10 months, Vaisman said, adding a more realistic scenario is three customers per building paying $750 per month for a 10mbps service for an ROI of two months.
Yankee Group Analyst Tara Howard agrees that the ClearMesh solution serves "as a logical extension of a fiber network," but she questions the market potential, discounting its appeal to Tier 1 companies that are laying fiber. "The opportunity is going to be with local LECs and municipalities," she said, adding the fact that it does not compete with Wi-Fi or WiMAX is a plus.
"We don't do what Wi-Fi does; we don't offer mobility," said Vaisman. "We don't do what WiMAX does; we don't offer five-mile reach. In a dense metro area, we offer high bandwidth and the ability to sign SLAs without any interference," he said. The systems offers latency at one-tenth of 1ms, so 10 nodes equals 1ms of delay.

Wirelss Wide Area Network
Wirelss Wide Area Network A WWAN differs from a WLAN (wireless LAN) in that it uses Mobile telecommunication cellular network technologies such as WIMAX (though it's better applicated into WMAN Networks), UMTS, GPRS, CDMA2000, GSM, CDPD, Mobitex, HSDPA or 3G to transfer data. It can use also LMDS and Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet. These cellular technologies are offered regionally, nationwide, or even globally and are provided by a wireless service provider for a monthly usage fee.[1] WWAN connectivity allows a user with a laptop and a WWAN card to surf the web, check email, or connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from anywhere within the regional boundaries of cellular service. Various computers now have integrated WWAN capabilities (Such as HSDPA in Centrino). This means that the system has a cellular radio (GSM/CDMA) built in, which allows the user to send and receive data. There are two basic means that a mobile network may use to transfer data:
Packet-switched Data Networks (GPRS/CDPD)
Circuit-switched dial-up connections
Since radio communications systems do not provide a physically secure connection path, WWANs typically incorporate encryption and authentication methods to make them more secure. Unfortunately some of the early GSM encryption techniques were flawed, and security experts have issued warnings that cellular communication, including WWANs, is no longer secure.[2] UMTS(3G) encryption was developed later and has yet to be broken.
Examples of providers for WWAN include Sprint Nextel, Verizon, and AT&T.

Oxygen Sensor Analyzer
An oxygen sensor, or lambda sensor, is an electronic device that measures the proportion of oxygen (O2) in the gas or liquid being analyzed. It was developed by Robert Bosch GmbH during the late 1960s under supervision by Dr. Günter Bauman. The original sensing element is made with a thimble-shaped zirconia ceramic coated on both the exhaust and reference sides with a thin layer of platinum and comes in both heated and unheated forms. The planar-style sensor entered the market in 1998 (also pioneered by Robert Bosch GmbH) and significantly reduced the mass of the ceramic sensing element as well as incorporating the heater within the ceramic structure. This resulted in a sensor that both started operating sooner and responded faster. The most common application is to measure the exhaust gas concentration of oxygen for internal combustion engines in automobiles and other vehicles. Divers also use a similar device to measure the partial pressure of oxygen in their breathing gas.
Scientists use oxygen sensors to measure respiration or production of oxygen and use a different approach. Oxygen sensors are used in oxygen analyzers which find a lot of use in medical applications such as anesthesia monitors, respirators and oxygen concentrators.
There are many different ways of measuring oxygen and these include technologies such as zirconia, electrochemical (also known as Galvanic), infrared, ultrasonic and very recently laser. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Analog Television
Digital Satellite TV - End of Analog Television
That is not to say that there are not any other online retailers of digital satellite TV services; it is just that there is very little choice in type of services being offered and most of these providers only differ from one another in their marketing and promotional offers, and nothing else. This is certainly a big constraint given the fact that watching digital satellite TV will only be enjoyable if there are more than a few options to choose from.
Digital satellite TV represents a quantum leap in quality over the traditional analog TVs that for long were the only types of television sets available on the market. However, even if you have bought a satellite TV you will still need to ensure that the set that you purchased must be able to handle the kind of resolution required to get the most out of your service.
In addition, you will also require buying a satellite television system that consists of a receiver as well as satellite dish and which is essential to enjoying your channels. Besides improvement in quality of pictures that a digital TV provides you, you are also sure to get more choice in regard to larger selection of television channels as compared to what is available with analog television sets.
However, not everything about watching satellite TV is hunky-dory as there is a minor downside to contend with, especially in that bad weather conditions which will cause severe disturbance to your viewing because strong winds or even storms can sever your television connection and then all that you will see on your television screen would be fuzzy pictures or no pictures at all.
Other than this minor hiccup, a digital satellite TV outpoints the analog television set on all counts and that is why people have given up buying analog television sets. Furthermore, if you are keen on watching premium or even pay-per-view television broadcasts you will also need to buy a digital TV descrambler.
The current popularity of the digital satellite TV makes it almost impossible not to also buy one for your television viewing; and, if you have teenagers in your home you would have no option but to accede to their demands for a digital satellite TV without which they would not be able to their favorite television channels.

Broadband TV
In the last issue of Ariadne I explored available streaming video on the web (Tiny TV, Ariadne issue 22, December 1999), looking at the phenomenon particularly according to the geographic and subject distribution of resources.
Things are moving very fast: by the time the article was published the version of RealPlayer (G2) had been replaced, and my written map of available resources was much narrower than the range of materials which I knew to exist. Many more films and TV shows are available, mostly at cable modem speeds of transmission, and a number of servers appear to have stopped broadcasting, at least from the addresses which were valid and active in December 1999.
Most of what I explored was lowband: video streams arriving at rates between 8 kilobits per second, up to 60 kilobits per second. These are services which (by and large, with occasional pauses to replenish the buffer) can be received and played adequately via a 56k modem on a computer with a greater than 100khz chip. Some items listed in the article however, particularly the film resources, come in at up to 250 kilobits per second. I included these because they were available resources, though not every reader of the article would be able to play the streams.
The Tiny TV article was written in November, and before it was completed I became aware of a number of servers which were distributing broadband streaming video, at speeds in excess of 300 kilobits per second, and sometimes well over 400 kilobits per second. These were not included in the article, partly because of pressure of time, and partly due to a delay caused by some of the streams arriving on port 554, which is one which, here at least, was closed by default. If you have a machine and a network connection capable of handling these higher rate bitstreams (ISDN, cable modem access, T3 connection, etc), but get an error message saying that the port is closed, you will have to ask your system administrator to open the port.
The quality of these transmissions is very high. The default window size is around twice what was enjoyed in the Tiny TV experience, and the window size can often be doubled again without the image becoming unpleasant to watch. Full screen display is just a bit too much, and your computer is not likely to handle the screen redraws necessary, unless it is top of the line. I used a two year old 233 mhz Pentium II, which worked fine with the fastest streams, with the screen window set at 200 per cent.
For the purposes of this article, broadband is defined as anything streaming at a rate in excess of 56kbs. The fastest available I have seen so far is 700kbs. Everything above 56kbs is broadband, since ordinary modem users will not be able to see the streams as intended. So 56kbs is a reasonable definition of where broadband starts. Some items are available at various speeds from 20kbs up to 250kbs, so users interested in broadband should not neglect the lowband listing, since what you are looking for might be there. No items listed arrive faster than 420kbs. I've listed only items which seem reliable and which come up fairly fast. Anything which is intermittent or slow I've omitted from the lists.
Most of what is available at these higher speeds is either commercial film and television (of a certain vintage), or music video (usually modern). There is also some academic material of very high quality. It doesn't make much sense to make news programming available in broadband (not at the moment at any rate), so there isn't much of that around. But there is some. Most of the material comes from a handful of servers, mostly based in the United States. The categories used are as follows: Broadband : Europe; North America; South America; Asia; Middle East; Africa; Drama; Archive Television; Other Educational Resources; Financial Services; Religious Broadcasting; Sport; Commercial Film; Art Film; Music. Lowband follows the same arrangement, with the addition of a 'miscellaneous' section. The coverage in this article is uneven, since I don't have unlimited amounts of time to survey available content and to check the reliability of links. I haven't included as many commercial films as I did in the last article, but by following up the addresses of the main listings you should be able to find these easily enough. Where I haven't found anything worth mentioning in a particular category, I've linked back to the Tiny TV article in issue 22, and/or to the Broadband/Lowband section of this article, as appropriate.

Broadband TV Origin
Broadband TV involves accessing multimedia content via an unmanaged broadband connection and viewing it on a PC or sometimes a normal TV. Broadband TV differs from IPTV as the network bandwidth is unmanaged and the system is inherently open. Broadband TV is the same as Internet TV which is usually referred to as accessing TV video streams over general purpose broadband internet. IPTV differs from Broadband and Internet TV, as it is a closed system for the delivery of PayTV services with an assured Quality of Service underpinned by an operator's investment in network infrastructure, content rights and consumer equipment.
The current commercial focus is around developing video on demand services to the home. Multimedia content can be personalised for individual users and can be called personalised TV.
In 1999 most people did not watch video online. A company called Teveo used a high speed Internet connection to connect thousands of dial up users using player less video technology. The evolution of Broadband connections made it possible for Internet users to become real time video broadcasters using Teveo. Teveo produced technology that was ahead of its time and did not survive the Internet bubble burst of 2000, as a result Teveo software can still be downloaded free on the Internet. You got Broadband? became common question around year the 2000, many Broadband TV pioneers began streaming music videos online using a Broadband Internet connection. In 2003 a little known Internet Pioneer named Enas E. Ragland launched one of America's first Broadband Broadcasting Networks and called the technology Broadband TV (BE TV) in part because of the platforms ability to emulate old style Television via Broadband Internet connection.
Currently Broadband pioneers use the explict generic mark "Broadband TV" to define evolving video Technologies. Unlike Internet TV or IPTV, advanced Broadband TV technologies like "Broadband Messaging" allow users to engage in real time using cams, pictures, voice, video, text and more. When the Broadband Broadcasting market mature in a few years, Internet TV will be defined as it is exist now, Broadband TV is expected to be defined as an interactive Broadband Broadcasting format. Advanced Broadband Broadcasting formats allow users to access Broadband TV, Radio with images, Voice, Video, cams, text, record, pictures and media downloading in a user controlled Broadband Messaging environment. Broadband TV is without question competing with traditional Television and Internet TV. Broadband media programming is one of the fasting growing sources of revenue online. The word Broadband allow search engines to identify the underlying product as Broadband Media. "Broadband" identification help provide more accurate search results when compared to the search phrase Internet TV. On behalf on the Internet pioneers who are developing the generic term Broadband TV, it is our opinion that Broadband TV should not be merged with Internet TV.

(e.g. database / high volume MTA) Sure. Theoretically LFS should be able to be graceful about that too, up to a point, but it's possible to break just about any file system if you work hard enough at it. Also, perhaps I misunderstood what Bill was saying, in light of Jason's most recent response. Fwiw, I'm no part of releng, so I probably shouldn't be speaking to what will or won't happen with ufs for 1.6. It also sounds like I didn't quite understand the complexity of UBC (I can see why it would be considerably more difficult atop LFS than atop FFS). Anyway, the bottom line is that LFS is good for partitions you want to be able to write quickly to (including adding files) in bursts, but which you won't need to go changing files around on very much. Ideal for pkgsrc, not so for cvsroot. Which, I hope, isn't news to anybody. -- ~ g r @ eclipsed.net

One of the biggest problems with the NHS approach to trans support is that unlike most other NHS treatments, it is rarely as simple as diagnosis followed by treatment. Rather, there is a continuing sense of disbelief: you won't get treated unless…
Unless you can prove this month… And next… And the one after next… That you are still a suitable candidate for treatment. That has to be bad for the patient-carer relationship. Worse, it means that because dependency is created, many people who are treated appallingly just won't complain, because they are scared silly of treatment being withdrawn. Of drugs being stopped: grs denied.
That is all sorts of bad. It highlights a major structural problem with trans treatment, because those who need treatment are not daft. They learn quickly not to trust anyone in the system, except, perhaps, fellow trans men and women. They self-medicate. They learn the scripts they are expected to learn – and quickly become experts at dissembling.
How else could it be? If a GP or other healthcare professional wouldn't treat you for something unless you coughed at least three times in ten minutes, or entered their room walking in a way guaranteed to win the approval of the Ministry of Silliest of Silly Walks: you'd soon adapt.
The other issue is: if you are at the mercy of the carers, this is a recipe for abuse. Some of it subtle power play. Some absolutely overt. One category of story i won't publish here – because i fear the UK's libel laws – are stories that feature some very real, hands-on abuse that it is claimed has happened over the years.
Maybe it did. Maybe it didn't. But i don't have the bank balance to sustain the law suit likely to follow some of the stories i've been told.
So here's the deal. I have been asked by individuals looking at NHS reform to pull together stories, complaints, or possible complaints. From all and sundry. But especially from people who are now mostly transitioned. Who are no longer in hock to the system…and who therefore have the freedom, once more, to say what they want to say about how trans folk are treated in the UK.
Drop me a line – in confidence please – and i'll tell you a little more about it: will check with you before passing on ANY details.
But do, please, drop a line.

Vote now for the Gazette's Jam Jar Army appeal, one of 30 campaigns nationwide in the running for the Making a Difference crown.
Launching today at the start of the Newspaper Society's Local Newspaper Week, the Making a Difference campaign will highlight the power of local media – in print, online, on mobile and social media – to achieve positive change.
Vote for the Jam Jar Army from now until midnight on Wednesday.
The winner will be announced as a special award at the Society of Editors Regional Press Awards in London on Friday.
The Jam Jar Army was launched in 2011, raising money for HospiceCare North Northumberland.
The following year, the Alnwick Playhouse Youth Theatre was the beneficiary and dog charity SHAK won the reader vote for 2013.
Each year, our readers have helped to smash the £10,000 target, raising more than £40,000 so far.
This year's charity is The Stephen Carey Fund, which is raising money to provide defibrillators and other life-saving equipment and training to north Northumberland.

More than a quarter of families in England's private rented sector have moved house at least three times in the last five years, according to Shelter.
The housing charity said the figures reflect the "unstable" nature of renting, which can have damaging effects on the children living in the sector.
The findings, from a Shelter/YouGov study of more than 3,700 private renters, show that 27% of renting families in England have moved three or more times in the past five years.
This equates to more than 400,000 families moving at least three times in the past five years across England, if the survey's findings are projected across the country.
The research found that nearly half (46%) of renting parents were forced to borrow money or had fallen behind on other payments due to the costs of their last move.
Alongside the strain on their finances, parents reported that the lack of stability had a damaging effect on their children. More than one in four (26%) said that moving had a negative impact, with many reporting that it left their children feeling distressed, upset and insecure.
Parents reported their children's education being disrupted as well as them having to leave friends behind.
The charity found that 6% of privately renting families had to move their child's school with their last house move - equating to 65,000 families across England.
The charity is calling for longer-term tenancies to be introduced, to give families greater stability.
It found that more than nine in 10 (92%) families said that when they are looking for a new rented home it is important they can stay there long-term if they want to.
Campbell Robb, chief executive of Shelter, said: "Today's sky high housing costs mean private renting is no longer just a stepping stone for young adults - it's where a quarter of all families in England have to live. It's shocking therefore that it is still not fit for purpose."
The charity quoted interviews it has conducted with renters, including one who said: "Every time we moved we had to find £2,000, increasing each time, for deposits, searches, admin fees."
In another case, a renter said: "So when we were evicted my children had to move schools. And then they had to change again when we got evicted from there, again because the landlord wanted it back."
A Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) spokesman said: "We're determined to create a bigger, better private rented sector and are attracting billions of pounds of investment to build homes specifically for private rent, which will increase choice for tenants. We have also introduced measures to ensure tenants can be confident they will get a fair deal.
"With 86% of the public saying they want to own their own home, we want to ensure anyone has the opportunity to do so. That's why we've doubled the housing budget to support the boldest plan for housing by any government since the 1970s, with Government initiatives having already helped nearly 270,000 people to buy since 2010."

With the eyes of the world on Wimbledon for the next couple of weeks, I thought it was only apt that I blog about our favorite piece of it – Wimbledon Park!
On a hot summers morning it is The Terrorists current favorite destination (due mainly to the splash park) so here is a quick summary of what we love about it.
When the tennis isn't on it has a free car park (see below for full details). We usually park here and get out our assortment of scooters, buggies (one for Bollie and one for her to push UpsyDaisy in!) and random bouncy balls and make our way (along smooth, flat, paths – a blessing in themselves!) to the café.
The café is open from 09.00 and does a great cooked breakfast, light lunch menu and a fantastic range of ice creams. We usually opt for a take-out coffee so we can get straight on the mini golf course. This is only open at weekends and holidays and charges £5 for a round (they usually just charge for the adult and let the kids have a club for free as ours are so little). It isn't the most exciting mini golf course in London but The Terrorists think it is wonderful and will happily play for an hour pushing their balls round with the clubs and placing their balls in the hole to declare they won (lessons on not cheating are a future problem!).
After this we head over to the playground and splash park. The playground is great and very well equipped, though does tend to be busy (even on weekdays). There is a huge sandpit with a range of buckets and spades that have been left by other children and some cool climbing equipment for creating pretend shops for selling sand (another Terrorist favorite!).
Next stop is the highlight. The splash park (which opens for the summer months). This is always busy but somehow never seems to detract from the fun. An assortment of fountains and sprinklers go off at intervals. Everyone ends up soaking and the sound of kids shrieking and giggling (in Bollie's case she giggles the whole time she is there – a jet of water to the face seems to be no deterrent!) can be heard everywhere. It is worth taking swimwear as there is no such thing as just paddling your feet in and LSH and I usually end up pretty sodden and exhausted too!
Finally we wander through the little rockery, throw a few pooh sticks and walk up to the huge lake where we watch people sailing and feed the (quite aggressive – this is not for the faint hearted!) geese.
Its not a big day out and we usually only stay 2 – 3 hours but the park itself is very very pretty and the atmosphere is always lovely so it is well worth a visit
Time to visit – a half day is probably plenty unless you have a picnic rug or wish to use the parks tennis or beach volleyball facilities
Highlights – there are 3 main entrances. We always use the one on Revelstoke Road as this is where the free car park is
Getting there – we usually drive but it is walkable from Wimbledon Park, Southfields or Wimbledon Overland station
Pushchair access – the whole park is very pushchair friendly with lots of flat paths and ramps
Price – FREE! With a £5 charge for the mini golf
Food and Drink – the café is quite basic but has a lovely terrace and good (if fairly standard) café food
Other attractions nearby – the shops and restaurants of Wimbledon are a short walk
Baby facilities – there is a (fairly grotty) public baby change and outdoor toilets in the park. The café doesn't have its own facilities so you need to use these

Gum Disease | Periodontal Disease Prevention
Gum disease can weaken your overall health. And bad overall health can cause gum disease. Periodontal issues are linked and intertwined with overall health in complex ways that even the best researchers don't completely understand. For the average person like you or me, however, the details and the relationship don't matter much.
All you need to understand is that gum disease is incompatible with good overall health. Once you understand that, you can see why it's so important to work in every possible way to reduce gum disease.
Understanding Gum Disease
When gum are well-maintained and adhere to the teeth they surround correctly, there's no place for bacteria to grow and debris to hide. When teeth are dirty with plaque and tartar, gums don't stick to them well, and that's a problem. Deep "pockets" can develop between the teeth and the gums where bacteria can grow.
But this type of bacteria — called anaerobic bacteria — can't live in the presence of oxygen, and that's very important. That means you can introduce more oxygen into your mouth and kill some bacteria. Considering that this bacteria is the same kind that causes pancreatic cancer, heart disease and many other kinds of disease, it makes sense to eliminate as much of it as possible from you life.
Exactly how gum disease impacts many organs isn't yet understood. While researchers will someday understand all the causal links, for now the most important thing you can do is reduce gum disease so you can maintain good overall health.
Controlling Gum Disease
Gum disease is manageable in a variety of ways, some better than others.
The simplest thing you can do to eliminate gum disease and keep it from happening in the first place is to brush your gums. While most people are taught how to brush their teeth, few bother to brush their gums. It's as simple as using water, your own homemade toothpaste and a soft brush to brush the gums carefully in a circular motion. This gets the bacteria out of any pockets you have. Then, you can apply more fluoride-free toothpaste and brush your teeth as you normally do.
A traditional dentist can help gums re-adhere to teeth by performing a deep scaling procedure. If you have deep pockets, the procedure may have been recommended to you. This usually has to be repeated once or twice a year and can be painful, so it's only a temporary solution. Many people who have had it done swear there must be a better way.
A traditional dentist may also trim back gums to help deal with periodontal or gum disease. This is surgery that removes the pockets themselves, but it can make your mouth sensitive and cause a great deal of pain. But it does work to eliminate a lot of bacteria
Today's modern and holistic dentists provide additional options. The most promising of them is using ozonized water to clean your mouth and kill those oxygen-hating bacteria.
Ozonized Water To Stop Gum Disease
Add additional oxygen to the water you use to clean your mouth using an affordable O3 machine. We recommend the Ozonizer brand. This method is a sensible alternative to major surgical and cleaning procedures that cause you pain and get you limited results. Dr. Vinograd suggests a very simple way to effectively use an O3 machine: irrigate your gums with a Waterpik using water ozonized and oxygenated with an O3 machine. When used in this manner, the machine is safe and comfortable to use.
Sure, using a Waterpik can take some getting used to, but it's worth it. And when used with an O3 machine, it's extremely effective against gum disease. Simply choose a Waterpik model with a reservoir — not a travel model — and an O3 machine that can handle 1000 mg per hour, meaning you can ozonize the water you need for cleaning your teeth in about 15 minutes. Set the Waterpik on the middle level — not the highest pressure — and add in your oxygenated water.
The Ozonizer is available at http://www.bodypure.com/product-p/ozonizer.htm. You can get a Waterpik online or at just about any drug or discount store. Together, they're a winning combination.
Be sure to check with your dentist before using the Ozonizer method to see how bad your problem is so he or she will have a baseline from which to monitor your amazing results.
Gum disease interacts with your overall health in so many ways that you simply have to take it seriously. If you don't, there could be serious consequences.

Four months after a fire that took the life of Laurencio Via, the state fire marshal has yet to release a report, but his grandson and some of his neighbors believe they know what caused it.
Via, 82, died from smoke inhalation in a blaze that started around 9 p.m. on Feb. 8 in his mobile home in Watrous. Power had been out the better part of that day, and when it came back on at roughly 8:45 p.m., it did so with a power surge that neighbors say destroyed some electrical appliances and caused others to catch fire and even explode.

I am a JS newbie so please be patient.
I need to create a page with up to 5 addresses from a DB and an associated "graphic" delete button. If the user hits one of the delete buttons, I want to throw up a confirm box to have them confirm.
I have a short prototype script that is OK with 1 address and an HTML "button":
But I'm not sure how to pass the name of the button to the function.Code:<head> <script type="text/javascript"> function show_confirm() { var r=confirm("Confirm Deletion"); if (r==true) { window.location.href = "AMaddAddressAction.cfm?delete=1" } } </script> </head> <body> <form id="test" action="AMaddAddressAction.cfm" method="post"> <input type="text" name="user" /> <input type="button" name="rich" value="Delete" onClick="show_confirm()" /> </form> </body> </html>
Also I do not know how to do the confirm box with an image for a button
Any ideas would be most appreciated?

How companies are keeping close tabs on your personal life through the use of data mining
For decades, "data mining" — finding correlations or patterns among large amounts of information — has been a successful tool for government agencies to combat Medicare fraud. But this technique now goes beyond uncovering criminals and has become a multibillion-dollar industry.
See also: HHS task force to tackle Medicare scams.
AARP Broadcast Publicity
Despite concerns over privacy, data mining is increasingly popular with private companies who use the information to learn more about their consumers. The problem, says Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst for the American Civil Liberty Union's Speech, Privacy and Technology Project, is that some of these databases are wildly inaccurate and their findings could have dire consequences for your future. This, he says, is the "dark side of data mining."

I'm not buying it.
I'm not buying it.
Given Mugabe's control of the gun barrels which are the wellspring of political power, especially in Africa, any opposition party members in the capitol that are still sucking wind past their teeth are doing so at his sufferance, keeping up a quasi-civilized facade in order to keep the charitable relief pump primed.
If any real political power was being shared, Mugabe'd be hanging by his ankles from a telephone pole in front of a Harare gas station, and we all know it.

He's just wants to keep skimming the relief-pump money from the Euro NGO's - they like to think they're needed or making a difference - they are but it's not how they think.
The UK Telegraph reported that in 2005 Mugabe handed over to China his country's mineral rights , including the world's second largest reserves of platinum, worth £250 billion.That's about $500 Billion US - not quite Lehman Brothers territory or FannieMae's $6.5 Trillion - but China supplies the AK's to his gangs and built him a palace with anti-aircraft-missile protection.

"China...built him a palace with anti-aircraft-missile protection."
Hmmm. I'm thinking we've got the skillz to trump that shit. Maybe something in the heavy bunker-buster category would do the trick. It's not like we don't have the practice.
Sure would like to find out.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving asshole, for sure.
Platinum huh? Pretty nice stuff. At least the catalytic converter theives might get put out of business with enough supply. :p

I read in our local paper that one of the sharees was getting the police, while Mugabe was keeping the Army for himself.
Taking out Mugabe might make us feel better, but I don't think it will solve the problem. Look what happened in Iraq. We took out Hussein and got a bigger mess than before, a free-er mess, but a mess still the same.

Load up a B52/B1/B2 with some totally untraceable, generic, multi country iron bombs.
Allow ground observers to tell you when everyone is in-session. Flatten the palace.
Followup with a similar hit on the guard barracks, time on target.
I know you could do better with GPS bombs but it's very nice to have 100% deniability.
Must have been storing explosives incorrectly, Africa, you know. Pity.

Sorbatti's story is one of deep roots, tradition, and family. Back in 1922, Attilio Sorbatti and his wife, Ester, started a small hat design business in the Marche region of central Italy. Their goal? To build a reputation based on quality craftsmanship. It seemed like the perfect calling, especially since the Sorbatti's small village of Montappone has a long history of weaving the local straw into hats.
And boy did they do a good job of building upon the local tradition!
Today, Sorbatti is one of the biggest names in hat design. These days, Sorbatti's grandchildren -- Marco and Attilio -- run the family business, after taking over for Sorbatti's sons. At Sorbatti, hats truly are a family affair!
Over the years, Sorbatti combined that love of quality craftsmanship with a dedication to technology and innovation. That multi-focus has enabled the company to grow from a small venture to a strong, dynamic force in the industry. Tourists actually visit Montappone in large part because the village has become a "hat mecca" of sorts. The locals even call it "The Village of the Hat"!
Sorbatti makes hats and caps for both men and women. The straw panama designs that Attilio and Ester created all those years ago are still big sellers, as are traditional hats made from felt and wool.

Extra carriages for Southern rail travellers
Rail passengers in Sussex have been told they can expect more than 250 newtrain carriages and more frequent services from 2014.Southern Rail has announced multimillion pound plans to purchase up to 40 new Electrostar train carriages – pending approval from the Department for Transport.
The new£60 million carriages will come from British train manufacturer Bombardier and will add to the 130 new carriages Southern bought at the end of last year.
It is also developing separate proposals with the Government to purchase a further 116 carriages, with the option of buying a further 100 after that.
The company, which is the main operator in Sussex, says it will receive the new carriages in 2014 but it does not know exactly where they will be deployed.
Chris Hudson, spokesman for Southern Rail, said: "The new carriages will be in full operation by December 2014, but it has not yet been decided where.
"They will mean an increased number of services for our passengers and more seating capacity across the network."
Investment welcomed
Bruce Williamson, spokesman for rail passenger campaigners Railfuture, said there was a desperate need for new rolling stock and they welcomed any investment in rail services.
He added: "This is obviously good news. But one word of caution would be that the Government is often accused of double counting.
"We would like to see how these plans fit in with previous announcements of new rolling stock.
"Bombardier is the last remaining British manufacturer of trains in the UKso we applaud that Southern Rail are buying internally."
It is hoped the new carriages will be deployed in Sussex to help ease congestion on the busy Brighton to London route.
Campaigners are currently calling for a second Brighton to London mainline to be built and say it is the only solution to overcrowded trains.
The service is currently used by around 8,000 commuters from Brighton each day.
Chris Burchell, Southern Rail managing director, said: "I am pleased that Southern is able to assist the Department in introducing additional capacity.
"The potential new order for 116 carriages will be exciting news for train manufacturers and for passengers."
