steiner hairstylist
I just got hired as a hairstylist with Steiner. I leave for my training next Friday. I still don't know what cruise line I will be working on. I've read most of the posts on here and I haven't come across very much info regarding the salon and hairstylists. I was wondering if anyone had any info like, hours the salon is open, how many stylists on board, is the work mostly updos and blowdrys, what privledges stylists have, would i be in a room with someone else that works in the spa/salon, and just anything in general.
Any information you guys have would be greatly appreciated, as I am just 21 and this is my first time travelling outside of Canada!
Thanks so much
This is a bit of a guess - but I would think that your entitlements would be very close to that of any shoppie. Good luck on your first time at sea!
There are some ships you have to be over 23 and 25 to go on, i know under 21s (i am 19) are limited to Costa, Carnival and Royal Caribbean..
You wont get told your ship until you get details about 2/3 days before you go. you may be in training a few weeks, you may be in there up to six weeks. girls i was with that were hairdressers were still there at 5 weeks..
You get 1.5 days off per week (not all same day) and it depends on the ship your privileges..
Big ships have between 5 - 20 spa staff, smaller ships have between 3 - 10
wow...5 weeks. i was thinking close to 3. lets just hope i've got the skills required already...i would hope so considering i've been in the industry for 2 years now but i do realize there are some things that I dont know when it comes to ship hairdressing....but certainly not 5 weeks worth!! I guess we'll just have to see what happens!! What are you employed as?
I'm a beauty therapist, with the hairdressers AND beauty and massage, training is only about 2 weeks, but you are picked for a certain ship by the MD of Steiner on your second day. They wait until your space is ready before you go.. it could be straight after 2 week, it could be up to 10 weeks (hardly though) As the MD knows exactly who is perfect for what cruise line :)
hi i worked for steiner and did an 8 month contract just rememebr every ship is different dependin on manager but generally its all about targets. on my ship we opened at 8 in the moring and stopped doin treatments at 8 at night wiv a one hour lunch break treatments back to back on a sea day. but on a port day we would be open 8am until 10pm wiv a 2 hour break and it was a lot less quiter. i lived wiv a massage therapist how has now turned out to be one of my best mates as we both live in england. good luck have fun!!!oh and you will no what ship you get when your at the academy towrads the end of the trainingx

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9mpxns/smart_grid_market)
has announced the addition of the "Smart
Grid Market in India 2013" report to their offering.
This latest market research report titled Smart Grid Market in India
2013 covers a wide spectrum of concerns in the smart grid industry and
identifies several factors impacting smart grid deployment in India. A
Smart Grid is an energy internet that delivers real time energy
information through technologies that help stabilize existing grids with
precise power control.
The technology has emerged as a growing phenomenon in the global
industrial arena and has also been given high national priority by the
Indian Government. 14 pilot projects have been initiated and the market
has also witnessed substantial investments from local and international
players. The boom in the sector has also attracted several IT majors who
have formed partnerships to develop Smart Grid solutions in India.
The smart grid industry is also witnesing a global pull owing to the US
based sector's target of 80% renewable and 100% consumer participation
in smart grid technology by 2035. China has also revealed plans to roll
out 300 mn smart meters by 2015. The demand-supply gap of power in India
will also act as a major driver for smart grids in the Indian market.
The market's affinity for renewable energy is also expected to stimulate
its demand. The report also identifies a few pain points in the industry
that includes the need for larger investments and awareness in the
market. Events such as Smart Grid Summit and World Smart Grid Conference
are therefore being organized to gather, discuss and find solutions for
Smart Grid development in India. The Ministry of Power (Government of
India) has constituted two organizations such as ISGF and ISGTF for
developing Smart Grid Technology in India, according to the report.

text: Education It's Back To School For Some CMS Students By Lisa Worf • Jul 23, 2013 Lisa Miller Summer vacation is over for a couple of thousand CMS students. Kids at four K-8 schools on Charlotte's west side headed back to school this week. Bruns Academy, Walter G Byers, Thomasboro, and Druid Hills are the first CMS schools to move to a year-round calendar. They're among nine struggling schools in the Project LIFT Zone. Druid Hills principal Alison Hiltz says a long summer vacation makes it difficult to catch up students who are behind. Summer School That Goes Beyond The Basics In Project LIFT Schools By Lisa Worf • Jul 22, 2013 Lisa Miller Summer school brings to mind kids hunched over desks in humid classrooms, trying to make up classes they failed. It's not the place to be. But across the country summer school is undergoing some big changes. It's not just for kids who can't make the grade and it's supposed to be fun. Several CMS schools in the Project LIFT zone have begun to offer a summer program that takes this new approach so that the summer slide doesn't put at-risk kids further behind. Listen Listening... / 5:28 SC To Expand Online Course Offerings After Lawmakers Lift Credit Cap By Lisa Worf • Jul 12, 2013 File photo South Carolina students can take online classes offered by the state. But up until last month, there was a limit to the number. A new law has lifted that cap, making it easier for students to take classes online that their schools don't offer. Union Schools And County Budget Dispute Comes To Mediation And Lawsuit By Lisa Worf • Jun 28, 2013 Relations between school districts and counties can get tense during budget season. But it's way beyond that in Union County. The school board has brought in a mediator and the county has sued the school district for financial information. Listen Listening... / Charter Schools Likely To Remain Under NC Board Of Ed; New Study Looks At NC Charters By Lisa Worf • Jun 26, 2013 A move to create a panel separate from the North Carolina Board of Education to oversee charter schools is not moving forward. Instead, the House Education committee supported a bill Tuesday that creates a new advisory board. Basically, it would reduce the size of the advisory council from fifteen to eleven members and allow the governor only three appointments as opposed to eight. The advisory council recommends to the state board of education which charter schools should open and close. Charlotte Teachers Institute Flickr Listen Listening... / Educators are not just required to teach a set curriculum each year – they must create it, develop it and execute it. Staying inspired and innovative can also be a challenge. And in times of radical budget cuts there is a degree of competition among teachers to be successful and keep their job. The Charlotte Teachers Institute is a partnership between CMS, Davidson College and UNC Charlotte that strives to cultivate its fellows into exemplary educators. But who decides which teachers get to participate? What exactly is this program providing that the school district is not? And what are the far-reaching effects on students of having a well-developed teacher instructing them? A conversation about developing great teachers when Charlotte Talks. Northeastern-Charlotte Adds Doctor Of Education By Tasnim Shamma • Jun 20, 2013 Northeastern University Boston-based Northeastern University is now offering a third doctoral degree program through its Charlotte campus. The UNC Board of Governors approved a doctoral degree in education last week, making it the school's third doctoral degree. The first two -- in nursing and physical therapy -- were approved in May. They were the first to be approved for a university not based in North Carolina. Cheryl Richards is the CEO and dean of the Charlotte campus. She says a doctor of education or EdD is different from a PhD because it's not focused on research. Report Gives Teacher Training Programs Low Marks By Lisa Worf • Jun 20, 2013 A new rating of programs which train teachers is creating a stir. The review by the National Council on Teacher Quality finds most college and university education departments have become what it calls "an industry of mediocrity." U.S. News and World Report published the ratings this week. They're generating a lot of criticism and not just from schools which scored poorly. County Budget Will Likely Include More School Nurses By Michael Tomsic • Jun 17, 2013 JEFF WILLHELM - email@example.com / Charlotte Observer Mecklenburg County Commissioners are scheduled to pass a new budget Tuesday. A group of parents has spent the past year pushing for one line in that budget to increase – funding for school nurses. Listen Listening... / 1:34 CMS To Offer School Breakfasts To All Children By Lisa Worf • Jun 11, 2013 U.S.D.A. / Flickr Since it can be hard to concentrate on an empty stomach, CMS schools offer breakfast to low-income students. But district officials worry these kids are skipping breakfast to avoid being labeled "poor." To solve that, CMS wants to provide breakfast to all kids. The school board voted last night to approve the proposal. Listen Listening... / 1:42 Pages« first ‹ previous … 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 … next › last »

In their second "Break the Internet" issue, Paper Magazine tapped spokesmodel Amber Rose for an editorial spread that offers homage to feminist icons, like Gloria Steinem and Rosie the Riveter. In the photos, Rose is recreating famed poses that are often revisited in March, during Women's History Month.
Yet, in this spread, Black Feminists are excluded. Rose poses as Dorothy Pitman-Hughes, but that's a byproduct of Pitman-Hughes being in a photo with Steinem. There's no Angela Davis or Sojourner Truth or bell hooks or Alice Walker or Harriet Tubman or Ida B. Wells.
For Rose's feminist commitments as well as what feminism represents, this is an act of unacceptable erasure.
Rose emerged as a vocal feminist after she split from her ex-husband, Wiz Khalifa, and was bombarded with sexist comments on Instagram.
"I would look on [Wiz's] Instagram and he would have pictures of all these women all over him… and then I would post a picture of me and my son. And people would be like, 'Does your son know that his mother's a whore?'" Rose said in her interview with Paper Magazine.
"People are like, 'Wiz is out fucking mad bad bitches and you're at home crying over him because he's the best thing that fucking ever happened to you and now you're just a fat, bald-headed single mother and no one will ever love you.' So yeah, I guess months of seeing shit like that, I was just like, 'I can't live like this. There's something wrong.'"
After experiencing intense slut shaming, Rose decided to organize a slut walk, write How to be a Bad Bitch, and promote the reclaiming of pleasure as a feminist commitment.
Rose's feminism forefronts bold sexual expression, but she is also concerned with how racism is reproduced in feminist movements.
"That would be the main thing for me… really just try to take the racism out of feminism for our generation," Rose said.
Rose's goal is a commendable one. Feminism must consider how race, gender, sexuality, class, and ability impact women. Someone should've passed that memo on to Paper Magazine.
When white women are considered the sole feminist icons worthy of recognition, it tells Black Feminists that their contributions and commitments aren't as important.
Professor Anthea Butler sums this up well at RH Reality Check when she writes, "Women of color have never had the luxury of simply focusing on women's issues. Considerations of race, racism, and economic and social injustices have always intertwined with issues of patriarchy and sexism. Women of color who also hold feminist beliefs are also acutely aware of how their communities, broadly defined, are affected by outside forces."
By excluding Black Feminists from simple magazine spreads, Paper is upholding white feminism at the expense of the marginalized. And that is unacceptable.

Street word has it that Volkswagen will bring 7 (!) new concepts to the Geneva Motor Show. Any doubts they are serious to become the no. 1?
The German automaker has already taken a few steps to address its volume aspirations, including committing to $71 billion in product investment between 2011 and 2015.
AutoWeek reports that VW plans to kick off the product onslaught with as many as seven concepts next month at the Geneva Motor Show. The product sneak-peeks will span VW, Seat, Skoda, one or two Audis and two VW-badged concepts from the recently acquired Italdesign Giugiaro group. We'll likely see at least one vehicle (like the 260 mpg XL1) that promises obscene levels of efficiency, and we wouldn't be surprised to see a Skoda-based mini car or the new New Beetle, either.

Blurb from Goodreads:
CLARITY MILLER always thought of her life as semi-normal. She had friends that would do anything for her, a boyfriend that was madly in love with her, and a roof over her head that she shared with her aunt.
Everything seemed to be falling into place. That is, until the day she met Sam.
When Sam informs her that he's her guardian angel and that she has been given the gifts of a Seer, her life starts spiraling out of control. She wants nothing to do with the spiritual realm.
All she wants is to have a normal life as a teenager, but when a tragedy occurs that causes the whole town of Garlandton to fall to its knees she realizes that she has a very important decision to make.
Should she embrace the life of a Seer?
Only time will tell . . .
My Thoughts:
Jenna Kay didn't disappoint with this book. Throughout the majority of the book I sat on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what would happen next.
Clarity is a normal teenage girl. She is looking forward to graduating high school and leaving town. After her parents died she was left to be raised by her Aunt. As a teen she is a partier/drinker.
She soon discovers that the new boy in town is not what he appears, she is the only one that can see him. When she learns that heaven & hell and angels & demons really do exist, her life is forever changed.

Apparently, Hope Solo reads the 91st Minute (like, who doesn't?). About a month ago, I proposed we send three women to the men's game and Hope was all over it. After the WPS canceled its season, she revealed to goal.com that she considered suiting up with the guys.
"I thought about it. I thought about playing for a lower-division men's club team in St. Louis. And I do believe I would have been able to take care of myself and handle my own if it was a lower division."
We all believe, Hope.
Unfortunately, we won't get the chance to find out. Instead, she made "The Decision" to join the Sounders and form a "Survivor" like alliance with (heavy breathing) Alex Morgan.
Choosing a hottie over a job opportunity? Oh, she'd fit right in with the men!

Hi guys!
I´m going to the fabric shop in about 2h so a quick answer is appreciated!
The store has no labeling of the fabrics due to the fact that they gross buy from old closed down fabric shops.
Downproof fabric, or calendered, is as i understand it, identified by it´s shinyness..but my questions are
1) is it shiny on BOTH sides, or just one?
2) i scored some ripstop yesterday that is "shiny" on one side and on the other, its like the fabric has been "melted" sort of....you can see the ripstop structure, but not nearly as good as on the other side...it seems to be more or less waterproof and quite heavy (100gr/sq m) though...still usable?
3) Any other quickchecks i should know about?

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- For the second time in a week, the financially strangled Anchorage Aces hockey team was listed on sale with eBay Friday, a day after a $2.3 million bid turned out to be invalid.
Within hours of its second listing, the minor league team had received four offers on the Internet auction site, including a $2 million bid.
The West Coast Hockey League franchise filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month. The team is more than $2 million in debt and owes more than 100 creditors. Last season, the Aces finished with a league-worst 19-44 record.
A sale would be welcome news for the WCHL, which has given Aces owner Mike Cusack Jr. until Wednesday to find a legitimate buyer, said Barry Kemp, chairman of the WCHL's board of governors.
Cusack could not be reached for comment Friday.
Because of the bankruptcy, the league can take over rights to the Aces. But that's an action it would prefer to avoid, according to Kemp.
He said the eBay posting was an unlikely solution.
''Odds are it would be a difficult way to market and sell a team,'' Kemp said.
''That caveat being said, if a legitimate buyer emerges in this procedure, we could be seeing more professional teams take this method.''
If the franchise finds a new owner through eBay, it would be the first time a sports team has been sold on the popular site, according to eBay spokesman Kevin Pursglove.
The identity of Thursday's high bidder -- an eBay member named kooptroop12 -- turned out to be a college-age prankster, according to KTUU TV in Anchorage. The bogus $2.3 million offer topped four others and allowed the bidder to use eBay's Buy It Now feature. That essentially skipped the timed formalities and instantly ended the auction.
''If the seller decides to re-list it, the bidding starts anew,'' Pursglove said.
Friday's top bid was made by chicagoblizt2001, who did not respond to an e-mail request for comment.
The offer, if valid, could help pull the Aces out of its debt. Another Cusack property, the Northern Lights Hotel, also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month.
The Aces face another day in court. A hearing is set for Monday for a motion filed by the U.S. Trustee's Office to convert the bankruptcy case to Chapter 7 or to order the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee.
Under Chapter 7, the Aces essentially could be out of business and the Bankruptcy Court could sell the team's assets. A Chapter 11 trustee basically would run the business.
Cusack first listed the team on eBay Saturday with a minimum bid of $1.5 million. Friday's minimum was set at $1.6 million.
Meanwhile, a local group of businessmen wants to buy the team. The group has offered between $1 million and $1.5 million, said Dan Coffey, an Anchorage attorney and among seven members of the group, which has pursued a deal since February.
The group's offer was rejected by KeyBank of Alaska -- the only creditor with a lien against the team's stock -- because it would not pay off all the team's debt.
Coffey said his group is still hoping to make a deal with Cusack, who has said he wants $2.2 million to $2.3 million for the team.
Any sale would require approval from the WCHL and the bankruptcy court.

Ted Nugent, the "Compassionate Conservative"
Ted in the Washington Times sez:
Slaughter Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and ban anyone on welfare from voting.
Compassionate conservatism strikes again!
Read the Op-Ed piece here:
Hold my bread, a circus is starting.
He then proceeded to say this
"Wang dang, what a sweet poontang
A shakin' my thang as a rang-a-dang-dang in the bell
Down on the street you know she can't be beat
She's so sweet when she yanks on my meat "
Ted Nugent says a lot of crazy things.
Of course, so has Al Sharpton. Like the Tawana Brawley thing, and calling Jews, 'diamond merchants' before the Crown Heights riots, and saying he didn't want, "white interlopers" in Harlem about Freddie's Fashion Mart.
Except, I think Sharpton has a full time gig on MSNBC. Oh, that's right, he just met with President Obama, too.
15-Year-Old Duchess Of McComb, AL Announces Pregnancy
December 4, 2012 | ISSUE 48•49 | More News
MCCOMB, AL—In an announcement that quickly set Lowndes County abuzz with excitement, royal family sources revealed Tuesday that Brandy Puckett, 15, Duchess of McComb and first in the line of succession to the throne, was pregnant with her first child.
"Brandy's got a baby in her!" said Duke Bo Puckett, 17, addressing a rabid mob of reporters and paparazzi gathered around the back porch of the royal estate. "She hadn't bled for quite a spell, so we took her to the doctor and he said she's gonna be a mama."
Ending widespread speculation that the duchess was "sick with something on account of she was throwing up," McComb palace officials confirmed that Duchess Brandy was three months pregnant, would give birth early next summer, and had already put in for two months of maternity leave from the local Price Chopper.
"Don't know who the daddy is yet," said Brandy's mother Lurline III, the unmarried, 28-year-old reigning Queen of McComb. "Might could be her pa's, but probably not, though. Me, I reckon it's most likely either [Earl of Lowndesboro] Clyde's or [Gordonville High Count] Darryl's."
"Whosever it is, I ain't taking care of it," Her Royal Highness added.
Though the byzantine, incestuous royal ancestry of McComb is reportedly impossible to trace for more than a couple of generations, experts on the family confirmed that the duchess's child is set to move ahead of Brandy's six brothers and eight sisters in the line of succession, presumptively becoming monarch directly after Brandy herself.
"It's a figurehead position, 'course," said Lord "Skeeter" Puckett, who explained that real power in Lowndes County ultimately resides with the sheriff. "The child's role will be to please the people; enjoy the life of McComb royalty, free from responsibility; wave at the public through the screen door; wear the royal camouflage sun hat; and fill his or her days with recreational game hunting, fishing, and off-road driving in the royal pickup."
The pregnancy announcement came as welcome news for the royal family, which has endured numerous scandals, the most recent of which was the McComb Enquirer's publication of a nude photo of all 53 of Brandy's cousins.
At press time, sources confirmed the duchess had been hospitalized for a Vicodin overdose

Ackum History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Anglo-Saxon England, the ancestors of the Ackum surname lived in Yorkshire. The surname Ackum is associated with the parish of Acomb, which was located on the outskirts of the city of York.
Early Origins of the Ackum family
Yorkshire, at Acomb which is now a suburb within the City of York Unitary Authority. The place name is most likely derived from the Old English acum, which meant "at the oak trees." The village dates back to at least the Domesday Book where it was listed as Achum, Acum and Acun, and was land held by the Archbishop of York. The village was designated as a manor held by St. Peter. There was land enough for 8 ploughs and there were 14 rent-paying tenants. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8)
By 1222, the village was listed as Akum. [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Some of the first records of the family were Philip de Akum, who was registered in Yorkshire in 1210 [3]CITATION[CLOSE]
Early History of the Ackum family
Another 209 words (15 lines of text) covering the years 1086, 1325, 1379, 1525, 1574, 1670, 1692 and 1767 are included under the topic Early Ackum History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Ackum Spelling Variations
hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Ackum are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Ackum include: Acombe, Acomb, Acome, Acom, Acum, Akum, A Combe and others.

Migration of the Ackum family to Ireland
Some of the Ackum family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.
Another 78 words (6 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Ackum family to the New World and Oceana
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Ackum or a variant listed above: Robert Acom who settled in Virginia in 1642; and Thomas Acome who settled in Virginia in 1642.

Cristiano Ronaldo is probably not accustomed to failure. The guy is as close to perfect as it gets. Not only is he pretty much the ideal looking human, and not only is he arguably the top athlete on the planet, but he can slay pretty much any woman on the planet whenever he wants. Every woman, except for Aline Lima, that is. That's what happened when Cristiano tried to make moves on the Brazilian-born, Australian-based model. Things didn't go down the way Cristiano is used to, though. Aline simply responded "I have a boyfriend".
That's nice to see, especially in today's day and age. I'm glad to see the loyalty still exists and relationships mean something, even when being pursued by Cristiano Ronaldo. Ol' Cris didn't stop there, either. He responded to her statement with a creepy "No one knows, baby. Quiet." That's not sketchy at all, Ronaldo.
Aline continued to deny Cristiano's advances, replying "seriously?" Cristiano, never one to give up, kept making an attempt, even offering her tickets to see him play against Manchester City in the recent International Champions Cup at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Lima, knowing her boyfriend would love to see the game, inquired about tickets for her and her guy. Cristiano wasn't so interested in seeing the pair, he only wanted the one. His reply was simply "Yes, beautiful. But it is difficult. I do not want to know man. I want to meet you." At least he's straight forward. Awful, but straight forward.

A dual hadrontherapy center based on a cyclinac
Search Medline for
|September 24, 2009
Protontherapy is developing very rapidly while the results obtained with carbon ions on about 5000 patients indicate the superiority of these light ions in the control of radioresistant tumors. More and more radiation oncologists express the wish to acquire state-of-the-art protontherapy centres – featuring more than one gantry – and in a second phase, to possibly upgrade them by accelerating carbon ions to 400-430 MeV/u. The 'dual' centre here described fulfills these requirements.
Since 1993 TERA is working on the development of new fast-cycling accelerator complexes dubbed 'cyclinacs', which are best suited to treat moving organs with the multi-painting spot scanning technique. A cyclinac is the combination of a cyclotron (which can be used also for other valuable medical and research purposes) followed by a high gradient linear accelerator powered by many independently controlled klystrons, so that the range of the particles can be varied by ±10 mm in only 1–2 milliseconds. Following the successful construction and test of a 3 GHz linac prototype, a proton cyclinac is at present offered commercially by Applications of Detectors and Accelerators to Medicine (A.D.A.M. SA, Geneva).
The TERA 'dual' centre consists of a commercial Electron Beam Ion Source (from Dreebit Gmbh), a superconducting synchrocyclotron and a high-gradient linac. The source delivers both C6+ and H2 + ions at the desired repetition rate (400 Hz). At the same rate, the synchrocyclotron accelerates the ions to 230 MeV/u (Kbending = 920 MeV), the energy needed for proton therapy. The machine features an azimuthally symmetric and radially decreasing magnetic field (central value of 5 Tesla), a mechanical radio frequency modulation by a rotating capacitor and a regenerative beam extraction system. This choice was driven by the possibility to work in pulsed mode, limit the size of the magnet and the power consumption of the radiofrequency system to less than 25 kW.
The 230 MeV/u carbon ions have a 12 cm penetration range in water and can be used for shallow tumours. The linac (possibly installed in a second phase) accelerates the ions to 430 MeV/u, corresponding to a 32 cm range. Various linacs are under design under the name CABOTO (CArbon BOoster for Therapy in oncology). Two Standing Wave Linacs at 3 GHz and 6 GHz and one Travelling Wave Linac at 9 Ghz. Frequencies higher than 3 GHz have been chosen to limit the power consumption of the complex to about 350 kW. This work is part of a collaboration with the CLIC group working at CERN on very high-gradient electron-positron colliders.

Buyer Beware: A Major Change in NFS is about to happen
Steve Dickson announced on the fedora-devel-list an upcoming change to NFS in Fedora,[1]
As part of the NFSv4 Default [2] feature, I am one commit away from changing the default protocol version NFS will be using (or at least trying to use).
What does this means to you? Hopefully nothing! In theory this should be a very seamless transition but with all new technology there will be (and are) some rough spots.
Why are we making the change? See the NFSv4Default section on the wiki (noted above) for details, but in a nutshell: 1) better performance and 2) firewall friendly. Finally it enables us to use upcoming minor releases of the the protocol: NFS version 4.1 and pNFS.
FYI, V4 was introduced in Fedora Core 2 so it has been around for a while. I personally have been using it for my home directory for a few years now. For more detail see[3]
That's the good news... Here is the bad....
Because the mount command will try NFS v4 first, if mounting to older Linux servers will start failing. This is due to a defect in the Linux server exporting code, which is fixed in F12, *but* there are a number of workarounds that Steve suggested in the message.
Fedora 12 Freeze at 0600~ 2009-09-30 UTC
Jesse Keating briefly announced, "Just a reminder that the Fedora 12 freeze will be happening tonight at 0600 2009-09-30 UTC, just prior to the rawhide compose tonight. The rawhide for 20090930 will be built from frozen content. You do not need to send tag requests until after that.[1]"
Re: CVS Outage Notification - 2009-09-29 04:25 UTC
"It was pointed out to me that many of the packages starting with "a" were not properly branched. I've restarted the branch run for the "a" packages, however this time email will go out for the branch events, and this won't incur another outage. The branching of "a" packages should be done in 10 or 15 minutes.[1] ", replied Jesse Keating.

Planet Fedora
In this section, we cover the highlights of Planet Fedora[1] - an aggregation of blogs from Fedora contributors worldwide.
Contributing Writer: Adam Batkin
Josh Bressers noted[1] that Coverity has scanned a number of Open Source projects for vulnerabilities for a third year running, and they are claiming "that there is a 16 percent reduction is flaws found". Josh noted that it is too early to draw conclusions on what this actually means for OSS.
Michael Tiemann spoke[2] "at Open World Forum in Paris on the subject of open source and the digital (economic) recovery".
James Morris posted[3] a roundup from the SELinux Developers Summit (which immediately preceded LinuxCon and the Linux Plumbers Conference) in Portland, Oregon. Mmm, donuts. Daniel Walsh presented[4] on "how sandbox -X works" at the conference. Daniel also mentioned[5] that Fedora 12 will include a command-line interface to polgengui (which "is a template based policy framework, that ask the user a few questions, and then generate initial policy files to allow the policy writer to get started").
Richard W.M. Jones continued[6],[7] adding tools that can introspect virtual machines from a host system, this time a graphical df (virt-df), virt-uname, virt-update and virt-ping.
Rahul Sundaram talked[8][9] about the problems, dangers, and potential preventions for dependency breakage (you know, when you run "yum update" and it tells you that it can't continue because 1 out of the 146 packages that need to be updated doesn't have all of its dependencies satisfied).
According to Matt Domsch, MirrorManager now[10] has the ability to automatically select a local Fedora mirror by netblock, ASN and a number of other factors.
Mel Chua is working on a scholarship/fellowship program for middle to high school students and wants[11] your input.
Separately, Mel also asked[12] "How can we make it easier for people to send patches?"
Konstantin Ryabitsev scripted[13] NetworkManager and Postfix to automatically select a different relay SMTP server, depending on what network the system has connected to.
Peter Hutterer announced[14] that "MPX has been released as part of XI2 in the new X Server 1.7". I suppose this would be the first step in letting desktop Linux act like the iPhone UI.
Greg DeKoenigsberg says[15]: "If you live in the United States, go find your two senators and tell them that you support the Open College Textbook Act of 2009."
Tom Callaway was interviewed[16] about "some of the intricacies of licensing and ensuring that a software package included in Fedora and Red Hat is actually verified to be open source." (Video)

Use the information on this page as a preparation reference for servicing replaceable components of 7420 and 7720 controllers. Refer to the following for procedural instructions:
Controller Tasks - replace system controller components
Disk Shelf Tasks - replace disk shelf components
The Sun ZFS Storage 7420 Appliance consists of either a single storage controller, or two storage controllers in a high availability cluster configuration, and one to 24 Sun Disk shelves. Refer to the http://www.sun.com/storage/disk_systems/unified_storage/7420/specs.xml for the most recent component specification.
The Sun ZFS Storage 7720 Appliance is comprised of two storage controllers in a high availability cluster configuration installed in a Sun Storage 7700 cabinet, which houses twelve drive cages. Refer to the http://www.sun.com/storage/disk_systems/unified_storage/7720/specs.xml for the most recent component specification.
The 3U chassis form factor dimensions are as follows:
The 500GB boot drives (HDDs) reside in slots 0 and 1 as a mirrored set, and Sun Storage Readzilla 512GB solid state drives (SSDs), may optionally fill, in order, slots 2 through 5. Each storage controller may have 0, 2, 3, or 4 Readzilla devices.
The following graphic shows the 7420/7720 rear panel.
7420/7720 storage controller chassis have the following boards installed. Field-replaceable units (FRUs) should only be replaced by trained Sun service technicians.
Motherboard - The motherboard is a FRU and includes CPU modules, slots for eight DIMM risers, memory control subsystems, and the service processor (SP) subsystem. The SP subsystem controls the host power and monitors host system events (power and environmental). The SP controller draws power from the host's 3.3V standby supply rail, which is available whenever the system is receiving AC input power, even when the system is turned off.
Power Distribution Board - The power distribution board is a FRU and distributes main 12V power from the power supplies to the rest of the system. It is directly connected to the Vertical PDB card, and to the motherboard through a bus bar and ribbon cable. It also supports a top cover interlock ("kill") switch. In the storage controller, the power supplies connect to the power supply backplane which connects to the power distribution board.
Vertical PDB Card - The vertical power distribution board, or Paddle Card is a FRU and serves as the interconnect between the power distribution board and the fan power boards, hard drive backplane, and I/O board.
Power Supply Backplane Card - This board connects the power distribution board to power supplies 0 and 1.
Fan Power Boards - The two fan power boards are FRUs and carry power to the storage controller fan modules. In addition, they contain fan module status LEDs and transfer I2C data for the fan modules.
Drive Backplane - The six-drive backplane is a FRU and includes the connectors for the drives, as well as the interconnect for the I/O board, Power and Locator buttons, and system/component status LEDs. Each drive has an LED indicator for Power/Activity, Fault, and Locate.
The components of the storage controller are shown in the following figure and identified in the table.
The 7420 appliance supports two or four CPUs, with two memory risers required by each CPU. Four or eight 4GB or 8GB DDR3 DIMMs are installed on each riser, accommodating up to 256GB of memory for two CPUs, or up to 512GB for four CPUs. Empty CPU sockets must have memory riser fillers installed for proper cooling. Note: The 7720 supports four CPU configurations only and the four CPU system requires high-line (200 to 240 Volt) AC sources to turn on main power.
Refer to the service label on the cover for DIMM placement information. On every memory riser, slots D0, D2, D4, and D6 must be populated; optionally, slots D1, D3, D5, and D7 may be populated as a group on all installed memory risers. All DIMMs in the system must be identical.

LA QUINTA, Calif. — When the wind knocked a big scoreboard into a lake and ripped a few trees out of the ground Saturday, Mark Wilson realized he really didn't mind if he couldn't finish his third round at the Humana Challenge.
Wilson and his fellow pros were more than happy to wait out the windstorm and just come back today, when Wilson will attempt to maintain his momentum for what might be a marathon finish to the erstwhile Bob Hope Classic.
Wilson held a three-stroke lead over Ben Crane at 21 under when play was suspended midway through the third round. Ferocious wind reaching 35 mph caused damage on all three courses, even interrupting former President Bill Clinton's round with Greg Norman.
"I think they made the right call," Wilson said. "You don't want to see anybody get hurt."
The pro-am tournament will resume third-round play this morning without the amateurs. They'll also attempt to finish the fourth round, which could be tough after the event's first wind delay since 1999 and the first on the PGA Tour since 2009 in Houston.
Nobody was hurt at the Humana Challenge, even after an awning collapsed in the Bob Hope Square fan area. Conditions weren't terrible on two of the three courses, but several trees were toppled at the La Quinta Country Club course, making the decision easy.
"It's really bad," said Slugger White, the tour's vice president of rules and competitions. "They've got a lot of trees down. It's a real mess."
La Quinta didn't even get the worst of the Coachella Valley craziness: A 66-mph gust was recorded at the Palm Springs airport.
White said he believes they can finish the four-round event today "in a perfect world." Wilson doubts it after vicious gusts interrupted a previously perfect weekend.
Wilson got through the first eight holes at La Quinta under ideal conditions, but the light winds suddenly turned into gales. He battled to five straight pars before a birdie on his 15th hole of the day, but play was suspended moments later.
CHAMPIONS: Dan Forsman had six back-nine birdies for 7-under 65 and a two-stroke lead after the second round of the season-opening Mitsubishi Electric Championship in Kaupulehu-Kona, Hawaii. Forsman was at 12-under 132. Brad Bryant shot 8-under 64 to match 2010 champion Tom Watson (65) and Jeff Sluman (66) at 10 under.

Ericsson Expecting Strong 2011 Sales
Ericsson expects strong demand for mobile broadband equipment in 2011 after a surge in fourth-quarter sales for the first time in two years.
Reuters reported today that shares in the company jumped 4 percent to their highest level since September 2010 as sales topped all expectations.Ericsson has long forecasted that telecom operators would need to invest in networks to support an explosion in data traffic as customers surf the Internet on the go from their iPhone and or Galaxy Tab.
However, the market has been slow to recover from the downturn with operators more focused on cost cuts than spending.
"Maybe people in the market didn't believe growth would return to the sector," Greger Johansson, analyst at Redeye, told Reuters. "They finally showed some growth."
The positive outlook offset worries that the company's gross margin was under pressure from an increase in less profitable business in India and Europe.
"There is still a bit of uncertainty about the gross margin and where the gross margin is going to land in 2011, but what you see is that the company is now witnessing a good return of traction with mobile broadband and growth is back," Pierre Ferragu, analyst at Sandford Bernstein, told Reuters.
Ericsson saw a 7 percent jump for comparable units and excluding currency effects in the fourth quarter. This was the first increase since the January through March period in 2009.
"We expect the strong uptake for mobile broadband to continue in 2011, with number of mobile broadband subscriptions expected to double and hit one billion already this year," Ericsson Chief Executive Hans Vestberg said in a statement.
Sales totaled $10.4 billion beating all forecasts in the poll. The company's key Networks unit, its biggest revenue generator, reported sales growth of 14 precut year-on-year.
Ericsson's operating profit excluding joint ventures and restructuring in the seasonally strong quarter was $1.28 billion, against analysts' 8.
The world's biggest mobile network gear maker said the effects of a component shortage that hit sales in the second and third quarters last year had eased, but its gross margin was hurt by an increasing proportion of network rollout projects like 3G networks in India and modernization work in Europe.
The gross margin slipped to 37 percent from 39 percent in the July through September period and its operating margin stayed the same at 13 percent.
Chief Financial Officer Jan Frykhammer said modernization projects and the 3G rollouts were important platforms for winning future business and that the company would continue to protect margins.
"We work hard with efficiencies and mitigating actions," he said.

On December 17, Photobook Shop, with the help of Scoopon, launched our $45.00 30x30 60page Photobooks. As you can imagine, the response to this was enourmous. More than what we, Photobook Shop and Scoopon, had anticipated. The next two weeks was a rush at Photobook Shop HQ. In the first two weeks after the Scoopon deal, our business went nation wide.
To answer this question we could easily say, we print, bind and deliver personalised photobooks, calendars, canvases, and greeting cards, but I feel we do a little more than that. Well not just a little, a lot more than that.
Its whilst you're standing there, putting these memories together that you realise, what we Photobook Shop is selling isn't a photobook at all. (And I know this is going to sound corny) But its moments. Its treasured memories. And its storytelling.
We look forward to receiving more order to continue collating our customer's stories. We hope you have as much fun putting them together as you do receiving your stories.
Smile @ Photobook Shop

Once I read "The iPad" section on one of Fawn Nguyen's August blog posts I became curious about Air Sketch. I tried the Free version and 5 minutes later purchased the full version. The reason that the app caught my eye in the first place is that I've been thinking of easy ways to use an iPad in a classroom. My definition of easy includes:
- as soon as I download it, I can make it do some of what it's advertised to do
- when I try it the second time I can do even more things
- because of all that I can do (without reading directions) I actually take time to read (scan, at least) the directions and I quickly learn even more features
The best part, however, is how I'm thinking Air Sketch can help make the most of an iPad. It reminds me of when I tried to make the most of one computer in a classroom. Air Sketch lets you display on your computer screen what you draw on your iPad – so if we take that one more step, it allows you to display whatever you project from your computer! Fun. Here are some photos I just took at my desk showing my iPad and my computer screen (imagine that my computer is connected to a video projector instead of my monitor):
Step 1: opened Air Sketch on my iPad and a web page in Safari
Step 2: touched the tiny icon in the lower left corner of my iPad screen to open the controls and typed that URL in Safari
Step 3: whatever I draw on my iPad is "mirrored" on my computer screen
Drawing with my finger is fun … but … I'm focused on how to use this in a mathematics classroom and I consider,
- calculations — kinds of things that you might write on a whiteboard — instead you walk around with your iPad and students write on it
- take photos of student work and display
- display PDFs (or photos of papers)
- annotate
With the full version I can access my "camera roll"
Another cool feature is that you can save pages.
So, you could save things from one class to use the next day or you could prepare some pages ahead of time and make them visible when ready.

Graham Ref's Forest Clash
Fred Graham from Essex with referee Rangers fixture at the weekend against Nottingham Forest.
The 44 year old official was a slow starter to the refereeing circuit, only being promoted to the referee`s list in 2000.
Since then he has taken his time working his way up the leagues, through the Conference and into the Football League. He has spent most of his career officiating the lower echelons of the Football League - refereeing Rangers for the first time last season, fully eight years after joining the list.
Rangers 0-0 draw at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers last season was hardly a fixture to capture the imagination. The R`s could and should have taken three points in W12 - but in the end were lucky to leave with a point after Stephen Elliott`s close range miss.
Graham won a lot of admirers and critics on the same day as his continuance to let the game flow meant free-kicks were at a minimum as were cards.
A Gillingham fan on the BBC messageboard was less than pleased with Mr. Graham`s performance in their 1-1 draw with Southend United last season:
"Mr. Fred Graham, made a whole host of ridiculous decisions, giving us absolutely nothing. I'm not just saying this because I am a Gills fan, but he was a joke.
"I'm sure he just flipped a coin to see who the decision should go to. He even gave obvious throw-ins the wrong way, and proceeded to give totally incorrect reasoning for his decision.
"Not only did he mess up most of the decision-making he had to do, he managed to let Southend completely destroy the second half. The ball was not in play for longer than 3 minutes at a time because the Southend pansies decided to start crying everytime they were touched by another player.
"Yes, they should receive a large amount of the blame for this, but the referee let it happen. He continually stopped the game for injuries, only to see the player get up 2 minutes later and start running around again.
Strong words indeed as the referee continues to divide opinion - but once again the very fact that the refereeing hierarchy haven`t deemed him worthy of higher duties earlier, paints a picture of their opinions.

Minority areas rail against council plan
Some view plan for fewer members as a bid to dilute representation
Published 12:05 am, Thursday, April 28, 2011
ALBANY -- Opposition to cutting the size of the Common Council appears strongest among residents of the city's minority communities, who say they view it as a bid to dilute representation they fought fiercely to gain.
"It seems like we're getting ready to be bamboozled," Alberta Chambliss, president of the tenants association at Ida J. Yarbrough Homes in Arbor Hill, told the council's five-member operations and ethics committee Wednesday night.
The panel was holding its fourth and final public forum on the topic to gauge sentiment on two proposals to reduce the size of the council from 15 to nine and seven at roughly the same time it prepares to redraw the district lines in accordance with the new census population numbers.
In the South End and Arbor Hill -- the sites of the last two meetings -- that sentiment has been overwhelmingly negative and, often, distrustful.
At an April 13 meeting at the Albany Housing Authority on South Pearl Street, Anne Pope -- director of the Northeast region of the state NAACP and respected leader in the black community -- warned lawmakers that she planned to watch the process very closely.
More Information
"Everybody begins to change things just at the time when we begin to rise," Pope said.
Four of the current 15 council members are African-American -- not counting Council President Carolyn McLaughlin, also African-American, who is elected citywide.
And while any new council structure would likely retain the same or similar ratio of minority representation, some have argued that's not a replacement for a diverse stable of minority voices.
The fears come despite assurances from the committee's chairman, Councilman Richard Conti, that the panel is sensitive to the concerns of the minority community and is mulling the changes not in an effort to undercut their voice in government but to make that government more effective at meeting their needs.
Conti, the author of the nine-ward plan, has acknowledged in recent weeks that he has of late been leaning toward a 12-ward proposal offered by Assemblyman Jack McEneny, in which the city's wards would have the same boundaries as its county legislative districts, which are also being redrawn this year.
Conti has argued that the savings from a smaller council could be re-invested to increase the council's staff, making it a more effective check against Mayor Jerry Jennings' administration. Both the nine and seven-ward proposals also involved some savings returning to city coffers.
But talk of savings, at the expense of the representation, angered Samuel Koonce, who said he's watched the city waste money weekly for much of six decades living here.
"Taking my representation away to save money, I'm against it," Koonce said, "because the money you save, the people will never see it... I want to talk to my guy. He lives where I live."
Conti stressed, however, that the committee launched the hearings in different parts of the city because it wanted to hear the public's opinion on the subject and would meet publicly in the future to discuss its findings and recommendations, if any.
Officials have said that any change in the size of the council would require a voter-approved amendment to the city charter.

"Sir, I'm asking that you don't shop here today." This seemed to be an unusual request from a Fresh & Easy employee near the entrance of the Tesco-owned market chain's latest store, which only opened an hour earlier along Harbor Boulevard just south of the 405 freeway in Costa Mesa. As he went on to say something about workers exploited in Nevada, I put up a hand, said "Sorry," and breezed into the packed store.
I normally don't advocate crossing picket lines but, fer chrissakes, they were selling sixers of Smithwick's for $5.99 on opening day!
After I managed to get out of the tight parking lot without getting fender-bendered by some old cuss, I caught a glimpse of the fellow and his partner, looking all dejected with their signs and stack of fliers. I'd traded solidarity with my brothers for two boxes of pecan and almond cereal for five bucks.
Thanks for the crappy economy, Obama!
At least I fired up the Interwebs when I got home to find out why all the holler. Fresh & Easy employees in Nevada, Arizona and California are airing grievances about working conditions as the United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) union tries to organize them. They call their campaign "Fix Fresh & Easy," which sounds to me like a vanilla rap trio from the '90s.
"All we are asking for is a fair chance for the workers at Fresh &
Easy to create a better place to work and to make this company
successful," claim the employees, who tie their well-being with that of Tesco, which is part of a U.K. giant that has struggled in America despite opening 175 stores the past coupla three years.
By the way, the fellows at the door wore black, as opposed to the Fresh & Easy workers on the clock in their bright green tees. If I spot them again when I go back Saturday, perhaps I'll buy them flavored waters to account for my sins.
What's that? Oh, hell ya I'm going back, with or without the job action. I forgot to pick up cat food.

Yakutskiy film entered the list of contenders for the "Golden globe"
In the list of contenders for the award "Golden globe" in the nomination "Best foreign film" went the Yakut detective "My killer". This is the first Russian movie that has passed the selection for the nomination.
"The results will be known in December. But the fact that our film is already in the list of contenders for the nomination, already a success," said the film's producer Marianne skrybykina.
In addition, Yakut film entered the main competition program of the Asian world film festival ("AsianWorldFilmFest") in the United States.
