Veronica Cirella, of Plainview, was arraigned on second-degree murder charges for allegedly killing Julie Cirella by feeding the girl food she was allergic to.
The 31-year-old Cirella was initially charged with manslaughter, but the district attorney would not discuss what new information warranted the upgraded charges.
Judge David Sullivan ordered Cirella held without bail.
"The grand jury undertook an extremely comprehensive and thorough review of the facts and circumstances surrounding the untimely death of Julie Cirella," Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said. "After hearing from many witnesses and Ms. Cirella herself, the grand jury returned an indictment for murder in the second degree. Every child's death arouses strong emotions, but prosecutors must evaluate the evidence objectively, and regardless of how difficult the defendant perceived her circumstances to be, taking her daughter's life was unjustified."
Authorities say that after killing her daughter, Cirella tried to kill herself. She left a note that said Julie, who had cerebral palsy, "should die."
Julie was found dead hours before she was set to be a flower girl in a cousin's wedding.
Cirella's attorney says she should be released on bail. He says the medical examiner hasn't yet determined the cause of Julie's death.

From the Archives: The Iron 44 Incident - Handling the Incident within an Incident
Author: Chris Baker, COML, Roseville (CA) Fire Dept
Copyright: 9-1-1 Magazine, Feature Content,
Date: 2014-08-05
Originally published in our Jan/Feb 2009 issue.
The following article details a communications unit response the largest aerial firefighting loss of life in the United States. The incident occurred six years ago today, during efforts to fight the Buckhorn Fire on the Iron Alps Complex in a wilderness area of one of the most deadly U.S. forest for fire fighters – the Shasta Trinity Forest near Junction City, California.

The firefight was winding down when a tragic crash of a firefighter helicopter cost the lives of ten firefighters, and challenged resources already overextended on the fireline - and the Incident Communications.

The Iron Alps Complex firefight began on June 21, 2008, and continued over one month before it incurred the tragic death of U.S. Park Service Firefighter Andrew Palmer, killed by a falling tree on July 25th. The previous incident management team (IMT) had since been demobilized, and the Norcal 2 IMT took the incident.
On Tuesday, August 5th 2008, I was attending the planning session for the next operational period as one of two communications unit leaders (COML) assigned to the incident through the state fire and rescue mutual aid plan. Although it's sometimes annoying to others and not always encouraged, I was part of a small group that monitored the radio on "low" during the meetings. Shortly after the meeting commenced, the command channel crackled the unmistakable words which we firefighters fear: "Aircraft accident with a fire – send help!" The call was placed as a Sikorsky S-61 USFS contract firefighting helicopter crashed down a hillside and succumbed to flames in what became known as the Iron 44 incident ? so named after the location of Helispot H44. The helo had just lifted off to transport the first load of two hand-crews off the mountain back to Willow Creek heli-base, due to an impending dry lightning storm when it crashed. Of the 13 men aboard, only three firefighters and one pilot survived – all with major injuries or burns.
The View from the Incident Communications Unit
Critical to the success of safety on this or any incident is an effective communications unit to include an adequate staff of well-trained personnel and complement of equipment. The modus operandi following Palmer's death was there would be above all, no further loss of life. In that philosophy, the IMT placed a priority on ordering what may have been a "fat" complement of staffing for the communications unit. This sound decision led to a staff of two incident communications managers (INCM), six radio operators (RADO), one technician, and two communications unit leaders available to manage communications during the H44 incident.

Upon receipt of the distress call, the COMLs and medical unit leader (MEDL) proceeded to the incident communications center (ICC) to manage their respective functions. The ICC was broken into functional blocks: a primary radio operator and scribe assigned to the command net handling the emergency, a secondary radio operator and scribe assigned to the logistics net coordinating command and MCI resources, one radio operator each assigned to the incoming and outgoing phone lines, an INCM supervising the primary radio operations, a runner, and the technician assisting with additional monitoring. One COML coordinated the ICC activities, and the other coordinated with command staff outside the ICC.
All unnecessary command personnel remained outside the ICC, and all non-essential conversations were limited in the ICC to avoid stress or confusion which gave an atmosphere of calm professionalism prevailing throughout the incident.
The RADOs primary duty on this type of incident is to receive, document, and relay messages. Upon receipt of the distress call, the standard actions detailed in the medical plan (ICS 206) were put into play: clear the command channel for the emergency, gather critical information, notify appropriate command staff, and request appropriate additional resources.
Certain challenges unique to this incident were dealt with accordingly. Such issues dealt with acquiring accurate victim counts, scene command accountability, locations, and immediate resource needs. The nature of a remote location accessible only by long hikes or aircraft, degrading weather and daylight, numerous resources in the air, and great distances to local hospitals and even longer to trauma and burn centers places a greater challenge to the dispatcher even given the immensity posed by that of an aircraft mass casualty incident alone. With these challenges, the RADOs of the Iron 44 incident were able to coordinate the response of six aircraft and ground resources which aided in the rescue and transport of the four survivors the trauma center in Redding, CA.
The operations section chief, safety officer, and IC were notified quickly after the initial call, and the medical and communications unit leaders responded to the ICC directly after the call. Once initial reports and a location were obtained, medical helicopters and ambulances were requested through the 9-1-1 system. Lacking a clear initial victim count, more details regarding the maximum number seats aboard the aircraft were researched and additional resources were requested. A special National Guard rescue helicopter, kept on standby in Redding with a hoist and long-range capabilities, was also dispatched due to terrain aspects (from the Palmer incident, it was learned that due to the extreme terrain a hoist could significantly reduce extrication time on steep terrain. Not many EMS helicopters are equipped with hoists).
Command, Coordination, and Communications
The Iron 44 incident was a complex incident that eventually culminated in the determination of nine deaths. Issues of terrain causing lack of access, no commercial wireless service, and managing multiple sources of information and ordering points provided challenges beyond what's normally expected in a wildland fire incident. However, the ICS structure, adherence to the medical plan, and appropriate staffing levels allowed the communications unit to function and expedite effective solutions. In post-incident debriefings it was overwhelmingly proclaimed that communications did not fail in this incident.

The majority of RADOs had come to the unit with an operational background of firefighting, both structural and wildland. The operational background of these personnel was a key component to success. For example, additional flexibility was given to delegate some coordination duties of the MEDL in the communications unit to myself, also a paramedic, so she could initial an MCI (multiple casualty incident) treatment area if incoming patients were flown to the ICP.
Personnel consisted of both federal government (primarily USFS) and local government background and of both full-time and seasonal employment. Several RADOs performed as both dispatchers and firefighters at their home units. One INCM was a fire engineer from a Southern CA local agency, and the other a retired state police officer with current fire and communications experience. The primary radio operator, who was not relieved of his duties from the time the emergency was declared until well after the initial incident was under control several hours later for continuity, was a seasonal USFS employee and on his first communications unit deployment. He performed flawlessly throughout the incident.
Lessons Learned
Here are some key lessons and recommendations for effective communications unit operation learned from the Iron 44 incident:
1. The most critical component of any communications unit is an adequate number of adequately qualified staff. One or two persons in the ICC would not have been able to handle this type of incident. Order adequate communications unit personnel for your incident, and have a plan to recall off-duty members quickly should an incident-within-an-incident occur.
2. The communications unit must possess and be familiar with critical documents. Secure the appropriate plans and documentation, such as the incident action plan (IAP) including the medical and communications plans, as well as accurate incident maps with locations of helispots and drop points, local agency contact procedures, communications plans, etc. Update them every time new documentation is available. Ensure all personnel are trained on utilizing this information by orienting each new member upon assignment to the unit, and conduct occasional exercises to reinforce the training.
3. Unlike a PSAP, ICC phone lines and functionality are normally limited and simplistic. PBX systems, caller ID, and the ability to transfer to appropriate extensions or voice-mail do not normally exist. Divide telephone duty into incoming and outgoing call takers, with one line always dedicated to incoming calls supporting the emergency.

4. Maintain a sterile ICC atmosphere during the emergency. If working in a linear space, divide the phone functions into that portion of the room further away from command channel operations to reduce noise.
5. Unlike PSAPs, ICCs typically lack voice logging and CAD systems, but accurate documentation is as critical for incident communications. Dedicate a scribe to each radio operator position. There are simplistic software applications and Microsoft Word macros that allow seamless translation into the appropriate ICS forms with time stamping.
6. Incident emergencies do not respect the sanctity of planning meetings, briefings, etc. When critical command staff is participating in meetings where radios must be silence, earphones should be used to monitor traffic. In the absence of monitoring during these meetings, a suitable delegate who can act on one's behalf must be appointed for the duration of the meeting who will monitor the radio.
7. Incident communications personnel must be even more flexible than PSAP telecommunicators already are. We live in the incident's environment, sometimes for weeks on end, and may be tasked to any number of assignments. Be flexible and don't be afraid to branch out and learn new things. Experienced personnel must always develop new trainees. Don't hoard the knowledge and the power – we must allow those trainees to perform critical functions while supervised so they can be ready for the challenges. When duty calls – it's all hands on!
Above right: This photo of the helicopter crash site was taken by the first arriving air unit that came onto the scene after the incident. Photo: Michael Reid/Zion Helitack Supervisor
8. Be ready for what follows an incident like this. If you are not familiar with the concepts of critical incident stress management and related issues, you need to be – particularly if you are a unit leader or manager level. I was lucky enough to get constant advice from the HR specialist assigned to the incident in order to provide the appropriate direction and support for my unit personnel. Many sources of how-to literature are readily available on line or through your agency. Make sure to print these out and keep them in your response kit before this type of incident occurs.
9. Realize while there may be others at the incident assigned support critical stress management, it's ultimately your responsibility if you are the unit leader. While IMT members may experience a timely demobilization after such an incident, expect individual resources such as RADOs to continue on their normal one or two week incident assignment unless they request early demobilization. If you are a unit leader on an incident like this, make sure you are the last out of the door – just like at a fire or crime scene. Ensure all affected personnel leave the incident having any reasonable needs addressed while still working on the incident. For this reason, I was requested and agreed to a two week extension on this incident. I found that to be a critical component as time wore on and we attended to both the incident and supported the accident investigation, victim removal, and memorial services.
In conclusion, there is no way to fully prepare for the major incident-within-an-incident. I hope to never encounter a similar incident again in my career, but I know I will be more prepared if there is a next time. The only thing we can control is the aspect of adequate preparation through training, equipage, and staffing. If you address these items in advance, you will be engineered for success.

Americans Continue to Oppose Government Intervention
The liberal media has been trying to claim since its inception that the tea party is dead. While the initial protests and rallies may not be as frequent, the uprising of those who wanted a limited government carries on, albeit in a different form. They are quietly working behind the scenes to get those who support their vision elected, and to unseat those who do not uphold their values.
The tea party fiercely disapproved of the government's involvement in the free market, whether it was the bank bailouts or the subsidization of the "green" industry. The tea party even opposes industries that do not receive national attention from acquiring subsidies. One such example is the NAT GAS Act, which would provide additional subsidies to the natural gas industry, which is advancing without the government's taxpayer-funded handouts.
(Heritage Action has detailed the opposition to the NAT GAS Act here.)
And those Congressmen who continue to support government intervention are seeing the electoral effects of such decisions, as evidenced by Tulsa World in the recent Oklahoma primary between incumbent Tom Sullivan and challenger Jim Bridenstine:
"On only one issue, energy policy, did Sullivan and Bridenstine substantially disagree. Sullivan touted his bill to promote natural gas vehicle fuels, while Bridenstine supports an alternative proposal.
"'Let's get cars, trucks and buses running on natural gas,' Sullivan said. 'We have an abundance of it here in the United States. It's cheap and abundant and … it also addresses a national security issue by lessening our dependence on foreign oil.'
"Bridenstine calls Sullivan's NatGas Act a 'big-government' boondoggle because it creates a short-term subsidy to convert vehicles to natural gas.
"'We ought not let Washington, D.C., control free markets with tax subsidies,' he said."
The primary upset shows that tea party sentiment within the American people remains strong. The rest of Congress can learn a lesson from this primary: that good policy makes good politics and that continuing the Washington status quo is a losing issue.

AEL Limassol FC's unanticipated Cypriot title success last season was a Cinderella story in itself but they hope to go one better by qualifying for the UEFA Champions League at RSC Anderlecht's expense.
• AEL have yet to concede a goal in four qualifying matches so far but face their toughest test yet against an Anderlecht side who offered an impressive statement of intent with their emphatic 11-0 aggregate win against FK Ekranas in the third qualifying round.
Match background
• Charalampos Christodoulou's AEL are looking to follow the lead of compatriots APOEL FC who sprang a succession of surprises in last term's UEFA Champions League by progressing from the second qualifying round all the way to the quarter-finals.
• AEL have already beaten Linfield FC 3-0 over two legs and posted 1-0 home and away wins against FK Partizan. Their progress is all the more impressive bearing in mind that before this season they had lost all five UEFA competition ties they had contested – starting with a 12-0 aggregate rout by Real Madrid CF in the 1968/69 European Champion Clubs' Cup first round.
• While AEL are looking to make history, Anderlecht's goal is to breathe new life into theirs. The Brussels club have competed in the UEFA Champions League eight times but since their last participation in 2006/07, they recorded four successive failures in qualifying between 2007 and 2010.
• This is AEL's first meeting with Belgian opposition but Anderlecht have played three previous knockout ties against teams from Cyprus, winning them all. In the 2000/01 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round they beat Anorthosis Famagusta FC 4-2 at home with the help of a Jan Koller hat-trick, then drew 0-0 in Cyprus.
• Anderlecht also posted 4-1 aggregate wins against AC Omonia in the 1985/86 European Cup second round and the 1990/91 UEFA Cup second round.
Team ties
• Edwin Ouon played in Belgium between 2002 and 2007 where he made a combined 81 appearances for R. Antwerp FC, KV Oostende and K. Beerschot AC. Ouon played five times against Anderlecht, experiencing four defeats before a 2-1 win with Beerschot in his last appearance against them.
• Gilberto made 33 league appearances for K. Lierse SK between 2010 and 2012 before joining AEL. He faced Anderlecht twice during his time in Belgium – a 1-1 home draw and a 4-0 away defeat.
• During his loan spell at Cercle Brugge KSV during the 2010/11 season, Reynaldo suffered a 3-2 aggregate defeat by AEL's domestic rivals Anorthosis Famagusta FC in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League – appearing as a substitute in the first leg and starting the second leg in Cyprus.
• There are two players who have represented both clubs. Former Romanian international defender Tibor Selymes was with Anderlecht (1996–99), and later played for AEL in 2004/05. Ex-Rwanda defender Hamad Ndikumana was with Anderlecht between 2000 and 2002 and also made 36 appearances for AEL during the 2009/10 and 2010/11 seasons.

Cards don't want pity, but your respect
Respect? St. Louis packs its own, but thanks for asking.
Not that the Cardinals are without perspective.
When rookie manager Mike Matheny asked for a quote of the day during a Wednesday team meeting, first baseman Lance Berkman addressed the group.
Might this be one of those special moments that galvanize a team, a moment that players and staff remember years from now?
The floor is yours, Lance.
"When you walk a mile in another man's shoes," he said.
He paused.
Yes, Lance?
"At least you've got his shoes," Berkman said.
That's as close as the Cardinals are going to come to deep thinking at a time when they've been challenged the way few World Series champions have ever been challenged.
The Cardinals will begin the defense of their 11th championship without arguably the three most important figures from 2011.
La Russa retired. Pujols signed with the Angels. Ace Chris Carpenter is sidelined indefinitely with nerve weakness in his shoulder/neck area.
In addition, Dave Duncan, arguably the greatest pitching coach who ever lived, the man who helped dozens of pitchers salvage their careers, is on an extended leave of absence to be with his sick wife.
Despite it all, the Cardinals are convinced they're still going to be a pretty good baseball team, possibly a very good team.
"I think we've got the potential to be as good, or better, than we were last year," right fielder Matt Holliday said.
Wait, it gets better.
The Cardinals are completely unbothered by outside perceptions. Matheny said there are players who believe they didn't get the credit they deserved for last season's championship, but there's no playing that card to the public.
These Cardinals are simply a bunch of really good baseball players who like one another and root for one another. In terms of work ethic and professionalism, they're as good as any team in baseball.
"Our group is really, really tight," Holliday said. "It's what made last year fun to come to the park even when we were struggling. It was still fun to be around the guys. For the most part, we have the same core."
In the end, they're a reminder that good organizations endure.
"I think when you look at roster construction, certainly performance drives decisions," Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said. "But there is a certain type player you're trying to have fit in here. High character. High values. When you look at the faces on this team, you see that. They are people who have common goals and common practices. They have common dreams."
When the Cardinals are asked about playing this season with a chip on their shoulder, about showing the world they can win without Pujols and La Russa, they swat the question away.
"I don't think anyone's in here to prove anything like that," pitcher Kyle Lohse said. "I think we're smarter than that. We're obviously going to have a little bigger target on our backs. I don't think anybody is going to try any harder or lose our focus. The thing we're good at is staying focused."
In the hours after learning Pujols had signed with the Angels, Mozeliak spent about an hour feeling like he'd been punched in the stomach.
"And then I went to work," he said.
He signed Carlos Beltran to replace Pujols in the lineup. He knew that getting Adam Wainwright back from Tommy John surgery would put a second ace at the top of the rotation. And he believed that young players like David Freese, Allen Craig and Jon Jay would continue to improve.
That was a nice plan until Carpenter, who pitched 273 1/3 innings, including Game 7 of the World Series, went down.
Good organizations survive, right? Right-hander Lance Lynn, the 39th pick of the 2008 Draft, is going to be given the ball.
He appeared in five out of seven World Series games as a reliever, and with the mentoring of a veteran staff known for its work ethic and professionalism, the Cardinals are confident he'll do his part.
As for that lineup, it could again be one of the best in baseball, with Berkman, Holliday and Beltran in the middle of the lineup.
The Cardinals have a deep and battled-tested bullpen, and they have a manager who comes to the position with zero experience.
Matheny's credentials are the fact that during a 13-year career, he was among the most respected players in the game, one of those guys seemingly born to lead others.
"It's the intangibles that make a good manager," Berkman said. "You either have 'em or you don't. He's got 'em in spades."
For his part, Matheny said he has been pleased with the work ethic and sense of accountability he has seen from his group. He knows the challenge of trying to win without Pujols, La Russa and perhaps even Carpenter, but he clearly believes in his guys.
"I don't think you can just turn it when [the season opens] after not going about it the right way," he said. "We've had guys playing the game right."

What does maghreb mean?
Definitions for maghrebˈmʌg rəb
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word maghreb.
Princeton's WordNet
Maghreb, Mahgrib(noun)
the region of northwest Africa comprising the Atlas Mountains and the coastlands of Morocco and Algeria and Tunisia
Northwest Africa, the region of Africa north of the Sahara and west of the Nile. The lands of the Maghreb are generally considered to be the coastal plains of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and western Libya.
Origin: From مغرب, from غرب.
The Maghreb is usually defined as much or most of the region of Northwest Africa, west of Egypt. The traditional definition as being the region including the Atlas Mountains and the coastal plains of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, was later superseded, especially since the 1989 formation of the Arab Maghreb Union, by the inclusion of Mauritania and of the disputed territory of Western Sahara. During the Al-Andalus era in Spain, the Maghreb's inhabitants, Maghrebis, were known as "Moors"; the Muslim areas of Spain in those times were usually included in contemporary definitions of the Maghreb—hence the use of 'Moor' or 'Moors' to describe the Muslim inhabitants of Spain by Christian and other Western sources. Historical terms for the region or various portions of it include Numidia, Libya, and Africa in classical antiquity. The term maghrib is in origin an Arabic word for "west, occident", denoting the westernmost territories that fell to the Islamic conquests of the 7th century. Today, it is used as a proper noun denoting the Maghreb, also known as المغرب العربي al-maghrib al-ʻarabīy "the Arab Maghreb" or المغرب الكبير al-maghrib al-kabīr "the great Maghreb" in Arabic. The definite form al-maghrib is used for the country of Morocco in particular. The Berber language's alternative term for the region, Tamazgha, has been popularized by Berber activists since the second half of the 20th century.

Sample Sentences & Example Usage
Tunisian Interior Minister Najem Gharsalli:
This cell is linked to Okba Ibn Nafaa and Al Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb, most of them came originally from Ansar al Sharia, it is a group of 23 people, including two Moroccans and an Algerian, but 80 percent of them are already arrested.
It appears likely that this was an attack by the Islamic State but we have to remember that there are also other possibilities, it could have been Ansar al Shariah in Tunisia, which is a local group. It could have been al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.
It appears likely that this was an attack by the Islamic State, but we have to remember that there are also other possibilities, it could have been Ansar al Shariah in Tunisia, which is a local group. It could have been al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.
George W. Bush called 9/11 an act of war and as a result conducted an actual war or two, so given France's quite aggressive campaign in Mali against al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and given the fact that France was one of the leaders of the coalition to overthrow (the late Moammar) Gadhafi in Libya, it seems quite likely that France will respond aggressively.

|Evaluation of hepatic functions and biliary dynamics in patients with liver cirrhosis by quantitative scintigraphy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 14696409 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND/AIMS: Aim of the study is to determine the changes in hepatocyte and gallbladder motor functions, and biliary dynamics in patients with liver cirrhosis. METHODOLOGY: The study group consisted of 17 patients with liver cirrhosis (12 males, 5 females) who were diagnosed by clinical, laboratory and histopathologic findings. Control group consisted of 20 healthy persons (14 males, 6 females). Quantitative hepatobiliary scintigraphy was performed by using Tc99m-Mebrofenin i.v. and dynamic images were obtained and evaluated quantitatively by computer. Maximum excretion time of radiodiagnostic agent by liver (Tmax) and half excretion time of radio-diagnostic agent from liver (T 1/2), gallbladder filling time, gallbladder ejection fraction and the transit time of bile to duodenum were determined. RESULTS: Mean values of Tmax was 25.76 vs. 12.40 min, T 1/2 was 37.55 vs. 23.15 min, gallbladder filling time was 53.35 vs. 30.57 min, and transit time of bile to duodenum was 39.88 vs. 25.00 min in the patients and control group, respectively. These values increased significantly in the patient group (p < 0.05) compared to controls. Mean gallbladder ejection fraction was 37.55% in the patient group and 41.84% in the control group without any statistical significance (p > 0.05). The incidence of gallbladder stone was 29.41% in the cirrhosis group and 5% in the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The quantitative hepatobiliary scintigraphy is a simple and reliable method in evaluation of hepatic functions and biliary dynamics in cirrhotic patients. Although the incidence of gallbladder stone is significantly increased in cirrhotic patients, it seems that a stone in the gallbladder does not affect the gallbladder motor functions.

Location Awareness Anyone?
I have been spending a lot of time lately playing with the latest Windows 7 beta. One of the new features that appears in this beta is something called location awareness. Location awareness is one of those features that were supposed to have been in Windows Vista, but didn't make it. The basic idea is that the operating system can be aware of your current location via a GPS sensor.
Right now there aren't many practical uses for this technology. Microsoft MapPoint offers something similar today. It is designed to plot your current position on a map based on either coordinate from a GPS receiver, or based on certain wireless Internet services. Keep in mind though, that this is only a single application. The Windows 7 location awareness feature is going to exist at the operating system level. Microsoft has already made an API available to developers that will allow them to include location information in their applications.
One of the things that struck me as interesting about location awareness is that it is not completely GPS-based. In fact, the location awareness feature is open-ended, and can accept input from a variety of different sensor types. One of the examples that Microsoft uses on their website is that users will be able to use the location awareness feature in conjunction with an ambient light sensor. This will allow Windows to adjust the brightness and contrast of a laptop screen automatically based on the current lighting conditions. I think it will be really interesting to see how this feature plays out over the long-term.

Despite having become a popular alternative radio station since launching on March 23, 2007, The Edge 88.5 FM is, like many these days, experiencing lean times. It happens for nonprofit stations dependent solely on donations, particularly stations with the cash-strapped student crowd as its target listenership.

We are Family... All the SysAdmins, Network Engineers, and Me!Posted by denny.lecompte Jan 9, 2013
In case you missed it, SolarWinds spilled the beans when we exposed the American, UK, and Australian system administrators in November. We revealed the SysAdmins' likes and dislikes at work and at play, their favorite entertainment, and their choice beverages, among other things. What we didn't tell you is that we conducted the same survey with a bunch of network engineers… (we are working towards an advanced degree in IT anthropology).
You didn't think that we could resist the ultimate comparison, did you? Surely not. And, don't call me Shirley.
We surveyed over 1,100 network engineers and network admins in the U.S. (400), U.K. (400), and Australia (312) and found a few things that they had in common with each other and with their close cousins, the sysadmins. We also learned a few ways in which the network and systems folks just don't see eye to eye. (it really is just like any other family)
So who are these netadmins? They're job lovers!
Across the board, netadmins responded that they were happy at work, reporting enjoyable or highly enjoyable jobs (U.S. – 79%, U.K. – 72%, Australia – 72% ahead of sysadmins (U.S. – 68%, U.K. – 67%, Australia – 61%).
Perhaps they're so gleeful because:
- They make more money as netadmins (U.S. – $87K, U.K. – £50.3K, Australia – $89K AUS) than as sysadmins (U.S. – $78K, U.K. – £47.4K, Australia – $82K AUS), or
- They get to call the shots. More netadmins make final IT decisions (U.S. – 54%, U.K. – 54%, Australia – 49%) than sysadmins do (U.S. – 6%, U.K. – 9%, Australia – 9%).
Good thing they're so darn cheerful, because netadmins continue to see increased responsibility and demands on their time (U.S. – 90%, U.K. – 89%, Australia – 85%) and feel increased pressure at work (U.S. – 79%, U.K. – 84%, Australia – 78%).
The regions differ, however, in feelings toward their companies and employers. American netadmins strongly agree that their systems are more reliable and efficient than ever (45%), their IT department leadership is trustworthy (44%), and that 2013 will bring growth for their companies (38%). Aussies feel less strongly, citing 29 percent, 35 percent, and 22 percent in respective categories, and the Brits are even less optimistic, offering 24 percent, 24 percent, and 18 percent respectively.
And then there is your free time, we know that you don't just lock yourselves in the closet at the end of the day… But who hangs together best? The Yanks and Brits!
- Aussies claim not to be big gamers – only 68 percent play while 86 percent of Americans and 81 percent of Brits do.
- Star Trek is the best on the telly for Brits at 21 percent. American netadmins like it too (22%), but Australians favor The Big Bang Theory (23%).
- Who's got the best cape? Batman, say UK (19%) and U.S. (22%) netadmins. The folks down under prefer Wolverine (14%). (Yes, we know that Wolverine does not have a cape. But if he wanted one, he'd produce one. And it would be made of adamantium and would be sharp… and useful… and cool...)
So, check out the infographics below.
Full survey results can be found here for the US (Netadmin and Sysadmin Survey Results - US)
here for the UK (Netadmin and Sysadmin Survey Results - UK)
and here for Australia (Netadmin and Sysadmin Survey Results - AUS).
And, of course, join the discussion in the The SolarWinds NetAdmin/SysAdmin Survey -- Which are you? space… we promise to give proper credit in the footnotes of our final dissertation.

ST. PETERSBURG — Authorities have identified a young man whose body was found in a canal Monday in an unincorporated area of the city.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said the body was that of Manuel Vivanco, 17, of Dunedin.
Vivanco's body was found by a passer-by on the south side of the Jacaranda Retirement Home, 4250 56th St. N. He was wearing a soccer-style uniform with tan shirt and shorts, both with yellow or gold stripes, along with socks, but no shoes.
Detectives don't believe the teen's death was suspicious. The body appears to have been in the water about two days, sheriff's officials said.
Authorities said they were able to determine that a missing person's report had been filed about the young man. Detectives contacted the man's family, who identified the body.
The Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner's Office has completed an autopsy, but has not released a cause of death. Officials are waiting on toxicology results.

Mitt Romney can't win the 2012 presidential election because his nickname is Mittens. He can't win because Paul Ryan is his running mate and Ryan looks like that kid who everyone was friends with because he had the coolest beach house – think Hamoa, not Ocean City. Mitt Romney can't win because the only [good] thing he can do for our country is fix the economy. By fix I mean he would be handy in creating more jobs, adding to the four and a half million that have been generated under the leadership of our incumbent president—up from the whopping 800,000 we were losing under President Bush. Long live W.
Speaking of Bush, Romney can't win because everybody knows the world was a happier place when Clinton was the man in charge. It's unfortunate that the details of his dalliance became public knowledge but God bless Monica Lewinsky.
What is foreign policy, Mitt Romney? You can't win.
Under President Obama we found (and assassinated) Bin Laden, and ended the war in Iraq. Romney can't win.
Romney would like to shrink the federal government on a large scale but alleges this won't put government employees out of work. Assuming he can't explain how this might work, Mitt Romney can't win.
I'm with Romney on sending the power to regulate some forms of welfare back to the states. I feel as though the needs from state to state vary greatly and elected officials in those areas could better serve their constituents in regard to public assistance. I actually like Romney's plan for Medicare too. Lest I mention these are the only two plans he has. He, therefore, cannot win.
He can't win because it doesn't make sense. Fiscal sense, for some, sure. But common sense…no, it makes common sense for hardly anyone to vote for The Stench and his sidekick, Paul Ryan.
Mitt Romney can't win because although he recognizes the debt Obamacare will cause, he can't propose an alternative to the obvious problem with adequate health care for all Americans. Going to the emergency room for a potential patient without insurance is not a viable alternative to a doctor's office visit, Mitt.
Romney can't win because in the words of Kanye, "Mitt Romney don't pay no tax!" Retracting that last statement, let me state the fact: Romney pays taxes, simply an unscrupulously low amount.
Romney suggests we borrow money from our parents to open businesses if we so desire. Undoubtedly a simple enough task for the rich folk who make up the smallest percent of our American population, I admittedly do not. I decided, nonetheless, to test Romney's theory and thereafter asked my dad for $30,000 to help get my business up and running. Between expletives that rhyme with "hit" and "puck" he yelled something along the lines of: "negro you must've lost your mind!"
Romney can't win because every time he's asked why he's been so inconsistent on issues like abortion and the pledge on no new taxes, he replies by reminding us that Obama has allegedly been fickle in regard to similar issues. What about you, Mittens?
Mitt Romney can't win because in 2008 Sarah Palin was the vice-presidential hopeful and though she has the smarts of a thumb tack, 47% of America voted in her favor. You're right, Palin has nothing to do with Mitt, and he's even been smart enough not to garner her support for the upcoming election, but the fact that republicans nationwide stood by such a cretin is enough to warrant disdain on every nominee they'll put forth this lifetime.
A brilliant business man who is family oriented and genuinely dedicated to his version of a strong(er) America, Mitt Romney seems like a great guy who happens to think he's well-suited to be President of the United States. While he preaches a great message of self-reliance and personal responsibility, his background of privilege mustn't go without mention. As an American who lives in the depth of middle class I certainly do not hold Mitt Romney's socioeconomic status against him. I do, however, contribute it to his warped perception of common hardships. Simply put: you are out of touch with the average American, Mittens. You cannot be my president.
What Do You Think?

Matter gray
From Biology-Online Dictionary
The cortex of the brain which contains nerve cell bodies. The gray matter is as opposed to the white matter, the part of the brain that contains myelinated nerve fibres. The gray matter is so named because it in fact appears gray. In the mysterious affair at styles (1920), agatha christie first quoted the fictional belgian detective hercule poirot in regard to his gray matter: 'this affair must be unravelled from within.' he tapped his forehead. 'these little grey cells. It is up to them as you say over here.'

Newsletters are a great way of reaching your target audience to promote your products and services. Newsletters allow you to reach a wide market to launch/expand your brand to potential clients and also cross/up-sell to your existing clientele.
It is an inexpensive and very targeted means of promotion in comparison to television commercials and advertising in print publications. At the same time, newsletters are an effective and -- unlike spamming -- respected method of marketing.
The e-newsletter playing field is democratized in the sense that both small and large businesses can both send effective, professional looking newsletters. Follow the steps outlined in this white paper to ensure that your e-newsletter is up to scratch and the best that it can be.
Why Choose an E-Newsletter?
Make sure you know what an e-newsletter is, and type of content belongs in it before you decide to choose one as a means of marketing.
Readers don't want to see information in an e-newsletter that they can find on your website, so make sure your newsletter offers the reader a reason to read. Include current information and updates on your company or any future developments and projects that are being planned (give them a sneak preview), advertise discounts for new products just for subscribing and include articles relating to your field of expertise.
The "Personal" Touch
Effective newsletters should always contain a personal touch, mainly to appear in-touch with your reader and his/her needs.
It is important to let your personality dominate the newsletter so that it doesn't present itself as yet another mediocre sales blur. Make sure you capture the first name of your reader so that you can address them by it. There's nothing worse than getting a "Hi there" when you should really be getting a "Hi John".
Create a feeling of community to let your readers know that their opinions and views really do count. Correspondingly, encourage readers to be an active member of yout community by allowing them to contribute with feedback on featured articles and even make contributions to your newsletter themselves.
It is imperative that you study who your target audience is. Find out what topics will interest your readers by placing surveys on your site or in your newsletters and follow up with related information in future editions. Encourage readers to send your newsletters to friends who may be interested by using a 'send this newsletter to a friend' feature.
Your newsletter will attract people who possess similar demographics to your existing subscribers. It's important to research and outline who your members are and what they want - regardless of whether your subscriber list is small or large - that way you can optimize your newsletter to be both useful and relevant to your audience.
Don't Over-Do the Sales Pitch
E-newsletters are great resources for cross selling and up-selling your products and services, yet while most newsletters contain some advertising, be careful not to go overboard.
This becomes even more prominent if you plan to include third part advertisements. Readers almost certainly don't subscribe to newsletters to receive what they will essentially consider as junk mail. If you over-do the advertising then your newsletter is no more than Spam, and the unsubscribe link is sure to ensue.
Look and Feel
It's a good idea to extend your branding efforts to your newsletter. If customers associate your website with a good product or service and subscribed to your newsletter through your site, then it would be beneficial to keep your branding efforts prominent in your newsletters too.
For members that have not yet transacted with you, your newsletter is definitely a good way of subtly introducing them to your brand. Additionally, make sure your newsletter is easy to navigate and contains no broken links.
Present your information in small paragraphs with links to more information if necessary. That way, you can place more detailed information on your site and readers can click on the relevant links that catch their attention to read more.
Legitimate Email Marketing - the Respected Alternative
There are a few steps that you will need to follow to ensure your newsletter does not seem invasive. You need to accommodate for subscribers who are wary about receiving newsletters by providing them with an unsubscribe link.
Unsubscribe link - It's important that your subscribers don't feel like you're making it difficult for them to unsubscribe. If you do hide your unsubscribe link or act evasively about presenting a clear unsubscribe link, then you are portraying yourself as sly and ambiguous - a good way to lose subscribers.
At the same time, you should ensure that the unsubscribe request is actually honored and the subscribers is taken off the list immediately.
Multiple lists - If your subscribers belong to different lists, it is important that you specify which list they belong to and make sure you do not email the same subscribers repeatedly about unrelated products.
It's also important that you take the time to offer tailored e-newsletters to specific lists so that you present readers with more customized information. It's important to remember that people sign up to for newsletter because of the value perception -- more commonly known as "what's in it for me?".
If the information in your newsletter tries to cater to too many different subscriber lists then the line between being informative and junk mail becomes very blurred.
Most businesses have an e-newsletter -- regardless of whether they are a one-person business or a large corporation. Unlike posted newsletters, print publications and other hard copy methods, e-newsletters add a lot more dimension to your marketing efforts, including cost-effectiveness, timely sending, dynamic design, content, presentation and easy feedback.
Newsletters help your company touch base with both existing and potential customers -- they are not designed for long drawn out articles, but rather short, informative snippets of information that make some level of impact.
Sharpen your e-newsletter for your readers and make sure you keep optimizing it for both present and future subscribers by enhancing the sense of community and personalization.
The positive difference that an effective newsletter can make, will do wonders for your business.

Striking and colorful gemstones of Peridot, Rose Amethyst, Golden Citrine, Deep Amethyst, and Blue Topaz set in 18kt heavily bezeled gold and chain. 18" long
Blue Topaz Gemstone Necklace in 18kt Gold. A sumptuous 18" of dramatice Blue Topaz gemstones encircled with 18kt gold. Feel and look like royalty!
This is definitely a necklace for royalty. Have you seen The Crown. These Saltwater Akoya Pearls are from some of the first crop of exquisite Vietnamese Pearls to be cultured in HaLong Bay. I bought them directly from the pearl farm and if you purchase this necklace I will also send you the book I photographed and wrote about this pearl farm. These pearls are literally dripping with nacre. They have 3-4mm of nacre when the usual saltwater pearl from that company that starts with an M has only .8! This is truly luxury. I only have a couple of strands left of these extraordinary pearls. I fear that when they are found by other dealers, the farmers will harvest their pearls sooner to make more profits and they will have thinner nacre as a result. I am keeping a necklace for myself! No, you cannot tear it off my neck!
Beautiful very large and uniform Baroque Pearls with a high luster surface. Pearls are about 25mm X 15.5mm with deep nacre. The strand is 35" long and easily can be doubled. I have also embedded my signature sapphire in one of the pearls. The closure is a filigreed magnetic clasp, but can be restrung with a 14kt gold hook and eye clasp for an additional $75. Please call or email if you wish to do that.
A beautiful 36" strand of large Baroque Pearls with very deep nacre finished with a 14kt gold clasp.
Incredibly large Baroque Pearls from 44mm X 27mm to 17mm X 22mm of very lustrous surface. My signature pearls have a 2mm Sapphire embedded into one of the pearls. Closed with a filigreed magnetic clasp, but can be restrung with a 14kt gold large hook and eye clasp for an additional $75. The 30" length can be worn doubled for a very substantial look!
1200 carats of Aquamarine crystals in graduated lengths make a beguiling 22" necklace. A 14kt gold hook and eye clasp closes this beautiful necklace.
The surface of these incredible pearls is so metallic it hurts! The pastel colors are strong and have so much depth. There is 35" of 15X30mm pearls finished with a 14kt gold box clasp.
Rare Japanese Saltwater Keshi Pearls, the smallest pearls in the world are painstakingly strung with beautifully faceted briolette Sapphires by a talented Japanese technician. This is truly a one of a kind necklace.
A wonderfully large strand of near round Edison Pearls in their natural pink, peach and lavendar tones. The Pearls range from 13 to 15mm and are closed with a 14kt gold filled filigreed magnetic clasp. The necklace is 17 1/2" long.
Various sizes of Freshwater Pearls are laced onto a 14kt gold filled armature cuff. This cuff is so beautiful, it hurts.
Elegant Cuff of Blue Topaz, Praisiolite, Tanzanite, Amethyst, and Apatite gems laced onto a 14kt gold filled cuff. This cuff can be adjusted to fit your wrist.
A Lace Cuff of a rainbow of Gemstones. About 3" wide and can be custom molded to fit your wrist.

Golden South Sea Pearls in a soft glow are a beautiful match for intense Pink Sapphires. Pearls are 8.5-9mm and the components are 14 kt gold. The drop on the earrings is about 1 3/4".
Satin White South Sea Pearls are stunning with Madagascar Rubies. The drop on the earrings is about 1 3/4". The Pearls are 8mm and the components are 14kt gold.
A very ripe combination of perfection. The drop on these earrings is about 1 3/4". The Tahitians are 8.5mm and the components are 14kt gold.
A stunning statement of Large 21mm X 15.5mm Baroque Pearls with a dance of Blue gemstones.
Actually these Pearls are not Edison, but they are pink/peach/lavendar for those of you looking for pink pearls, They are rare Kasumi pearls cultivated in Lake Kasumigaura in Japan. Their ripply surface is unique and creates highly metallic luster in it's undulating curves. They are some of the most unusual pearls you will ever see. I gave them a special complement with the understated Pink Sapphire. I hope you enjoy them.
Souffle Pearls are a new type of cultured pearls that are nucleated with a ground material, instead of a hard mother of pearl. Without going too deeply into the process, when the pearl is harvested, it is drilled and the ground material is extracted. This leaves the pearls beautiful and with much less weight. As you might imagine, it is perfect for larger pearl earrings. The shape and luster are fabulous.
Gorgeous satiny white South Sea Pearl Earrings are 11mm in diameter, with 14kt gold posts. There is nothing more classic. Everything Coco!
Absolutely stunning Chocolate Tahitian Pearls in their natural color are so rare. They are a perfect size at 11.3mm with 14t gold posts.

Some of the most beautiful earrings in the world are Tahitian Pearls. These 10.5mm Tahitians have a pistachio green overtone. The post backs are 14kt gold.
Pulsating natural color 10mm Golden South Sea Pearl Earrings are rare and beautifully unique. 14kt gold posts, of course.
Gorgeous silvery Tahitian Pearls set with electric green Emeralds.
Large 14.5-15mm Freshwater Pearls are set with 2 and 3mm Emeralds. Pretty stunning!
A variety of sizes and greens are embedded into these 11mm Freshwater Pearl Earrings.
Zircons are rare gems of excellent density and sparkle, second only to the diamond. It is a difficult stone to facet and being set into these fabulous South Sea Pearls is the perfect home for these Zircon.
Sage green, Tangerine orange, and Golden yellow Sapphires swing delightfully off 14kt gold hoops. On each hoop twelve beautiful briolette Sapphires, faceted in Thailand, one of the very few fine detail faceting capitals of the world. The Hoops are 2 3/8" or 30mm across.
A circus of Emeralds, Sapphires, and Ruby gemstones are embedded into Baroque Pearls. These are delightfully irregular in spacing and placement of gemstones to create a lively spontaneous decoration.
Genuine Kasumi Pearls from Japan with their wrinkle surface and metallic colors are the perfect complement to Opal and Multi Colored Sapphires. The pearls are about 13 X 16mm with 14kt gold findings. The Opals and Sapphires embedded into the pearls are little treasures to be discovered.
These 13-13.5mm button style Freshwater Pearls are embedded with 4mm Golden Sapphires with 14kt gold posts.

Separate names with a comma.

also sines and things ...
Yummy, polar coordinates, I used to enjoy those Can't thing why I didn't come up with those equations on one of my sleepless nights, although perhaps it was because i never realised there was a problem, having never photographed a revolving propellor. I do have some flapping dragonfly wings that might be as a result of the same phenomenon, though on reflection probably not.
I cannot resist posting this ...
and before anyone gets all "what-are-the-kids-of-today-coming-to?" about her, I'll just say I think if she were my daughter, I'd be proud to see her asking such an astute question
An interesting article, as I have found myself wondering about the weird shapes you see in digital images of propeller blades. They are clearly scanning artefacts, but I've never seen a good explanation until now.
Alias effects in spinning stagecoach wheels in old cowboy movies were much easier to understand.
All of this reallly makes me look forward to Sony's rumored global shutter sensor.
I think I'll just scuttle back to the Mailonline ! Interesting indeed but I can't even begin to understand anything but the picture examples
Takes me back some 50 years when I understood the maths.
Ah, good stuff. Clears out the cobwebs in my brain.

Hello and Happy New Year!
2011 will undoubtedly bring new challenges for many of us but with your continued support we look forward to maintaining our role in the Melrose retail scene. To ease us all in, we are having a January Sale! This comes with three pieces of Good News: NO VAT INCREASE on existing stock - 10% OFF ALL full-priced stock - up to 50% OFF selected items.
The Star Bargain is the splendid 'Ina' lamp (above left) from Mindy Brownes. It was priced at £295 (even though the RRP was £325) but is now reduced to only £150. We also have more great lamps from Mindy Brownes that are reduced, such as the 'Melcia' (centre), from £150 to £100 and the 'Boswell' (right) at only £125 instead of £215. You would never expect to get lamps of such quality at these prices.
We also have a few candles from Torc and WoodWick that are all now HALF PRICE. They are in festive fragrances but if you are like me, that won't be any hardship!
Our remaining Christmas cards too are HALF PRICE, whether in packs of five or single cards. This makes Milkwood individual cards only 37 pence each and packs start at £1.47!
Many of our larger ornamental pieces are also reduced in price; even those which were already reduced have been reduced further! For example, this pair of hammered metal pillar candlesticks which were originally £75, then £60 are now £45! The glass paperweights are only £3.50 & £4.50. But we can't show you everything here so you'll have to come in the shop and see what's on offer. And remember, absolutely everything has at least 10 % OFF, so you will SAVE, whatever you buy!
Grab yourself a New Year bargain. We look forward to seeing you soon.
