WaveLight® Excimer Lasers are prescription medical devices that are approved for use in performing laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to correct certain kinds of nearsighted (myopia), farsighted (hyperopia), and astigmatism. Only doctors who have been trained in laser refractive surgery (including laser calibration and operation) should use an WaveLight® Excimer Laser.
You should not undergo LASIK surgery if you are pregnant or nursing; if you have a collagen vascular, autoimmune or immunodeficiency disease; if you show signs of keratoconus or any other condition that causes a thinning of your cornea; or if you are taking isotretinoin (Accutane*) or amiodarone hydrochloride (Cordarone*). The most common risks of LASIK vision correction surgery with refractive lasers include dry eye syndrome; the possible need for glasses or contact lenses after surgery; visual symptoms including halos, glare, starbursts, and double vision; and loss of vision.
Talk to your doctor and review the appropriate WaveLight® Excimer Laser Patient Information Booklet for your condition to learn more about the potential risks and benefits for laser refractive surgery. For further information, please refer to the additional Important Product Information on this site, or FDA's web page on LASIK surgery.

MONROE — Tim Eyman's campaign against traffic-enforcement cameras has a new twist.
The Mukilteo activist long has been the face of initiative efforts around the state aimed at banning the devices outright, community by community.
In many places, including Mukilteo and Monroe, the filing of local initiatives led to legal challenges by city officials. Monroe's case still is being fought in the appellate courts.
Now, Eyman wants to bolster the laws guiding initiatives to make measures supported by voters immune from similar court actions by local governments. If passed, the law would apply to all initiatives that qualify for the ballot.
Earlier this year, the state Supreme Court ruled that the state law that allows enforcement cameras limited decisions on their use to local government leaders, such as city councils. Eyman's initiative would loosen back up the definition of "local legislative authority" to include voter-supported initiatives.
"It's not just red-light cameras, although that's my driving motivation behind this thing," Eyman said.
Eyman and his supporters started gathering signatures on Initiative Measure No. 517 in March, he said. They have until the first week of January to gather at least 241,153 valid signatures.
"We're making good progress on that, but we're not there yet," he said.
The new measure is an initiative to the Legislature rather than one to the people. That means that if supporters gather enough signatures, state lawmakers generally must pass it as law, come up with an alternative version for voters to consider or they can reject it and take no action. If any of the latter three things occur, the measure must be put on the ballot for voters to decide in the next general election.
Monroe officials last week declined to comment on their camera case or Eyman's initiative, citing the ongoing litigation.
The state Court of Appeals heard arguments in Monroe's case Nov. 1. City officials last week said they expected the judge's decision to take three to four months.
The city is challenging a Superior Court ruling that its failed attempt to stop a vote on cameras amounted to litigation to snuff out political participation.
If the ruling stands, the city must pay a fine and the legal fees incurred by Eyman and other initiative backers.
Monroe's contract with Arizona-based Redflex Traffic Systems expires in fall 2013.
Councilmembers could vote to continue the program beyond that, but Mayor Robert Zimmerman has said there is zero likelihood of that happening.
Voters in Monroe earlier this month again were asked whether the city should keep the cameras. The city ran the advisory measure again to avoid potentially violating the earlier court ruling that supported advisory votes.
Ballots still are being counted, but recent tallies showed about 70 percent of Monroe voters don't want the cameras.
Combined, Monroe's speed-zone and red-light cameras yielded $435,730 in fines between August 2011 and June 2012, police data show.

Does everyone want to be Famous?
I wouldn't want to be. Rich, yes. Famous, no.
Sue Moxley's make up range is called Famous and here are two of her quads:
First up is Palette 1 is Festival, a very soft, pigmented, shimmery. The colours are totally crazy! A bright canary yellow, a bright tangerine, a bright grape and a metallic forest green.
Is this an odd combo? Well it's different that's for sure, just totally bright and in yer face!
The texture of this palette is lovely, really creamy and buttery soft:
Read on for Swatches and my FOTD:
That's just with one swatch, so you can imagine how soft and pigmented this palette is.
I don't want to call it Festival though – I want to call it Carnival!
Anyway, during the week I am so exhausted that I use the absolute minimal amount of make up – certainly no eyeshadow is used. So instead I have to do fancier make up at the weekend (when I have to go to the supermarket and do boring errands – glamour, I know)
Here is my eye:
I used the yellow on the inner corner, then the green, but mixed them together to create the line shade, and orange underneath. Wow, I haven't plucked my brows in an age.
Due to
nagging popular demand, I will include full face FOTD's too, as long as I don't look too gremlin-y.
Do you like the Festival palette or is it too bright for your tastes?
*Famous by sue moxley is available nationwide in Superdrug. The single eye shadows are £4, palettes £9 and the shimmer brick £7.

At the start of 2014, I knew that enough was enough and it was time for me to make a few changes in my life, in an effort to be "deliberately happy".
By now, you probably realise that one of these changes was to pack up and set off to travel the world and with planning comes research. Bearing in mind that I studied law and worked in politics, research is part of my make-up and although I would love to be more spontaneous, throwing caution to the wind and turning my back on Google (gasp), I doubt that will happen anytime soon.
Too much research can be dull, repetitive or mind-numbingly laborious; but not travel research. Each day I would, and still do, get lost amongst a complicated weave of travel blogs, guides and resources, top tips on Twitter, stunning photographs from around the world and the lives of others' travels, providing me with more than enough travel inspiration.
Before I knew it, the majority of my days were spent scribbling down the hot spots in Chiang Mai, listing the recommended hostels in Hoi An or simply drooling over pictures of my personal paradise, captured by a host of international travel bloggers.
During the initial research stage I was very much still on the fence as to whether I would take the leap, pack in my job and head for Southeast Asia. But then I stumbled upon a few articles from top travel bloggers that gave me that handy little nudge over the fence where I plopped down on the side of decision; where travelling the world emerged the victor.
I still revisit these articles time and time again as they remind me why I decided to travel and what might be in store for me in the coming months, and I would like to share them with you to enjoy too.
So here is my travel inspiration from top travel bloggers:
I have always wanted to travel the world but realistically I didn't think it would be something that I could ever afford to do. If there wasn't debt to shift, or bills to pay then I would spend whatever little savings I had on two weeks of annual sunshine somewhere in Europe.
That Backpacker was one of the first travel blogs I stumbled upon, and I kept on stumbling for a good few days, reading Audrey's travel tips.
When I read "The Luxuries of Travel in Southeast Asia", I thought to myself for the first time, maybe this is something that I can do. Maybe travelling the world isn't just for those with thick wallets but for anyone, provided you choose your destination and lifestyle wisely. And that was that; the beginning of my journey which now sees me 6 weeks away from boarding my flight to Bangkok, and beyond.
Oh, and I would be travelling with my very own Sam too, it had to be a sign!
OK, so it's going to be Southeast Asia, I thought to myself. If I put my mind to it, I can corner those rogue pennies at the bottom of my purse, pop them in a savings account and afford to travel in that region of the world. It makes sense that the first stop would be Thailand considering that's the travellers "Mecca" and is easily accessible. But where should I head for when I get there… PAI!
Kristin's article sealed the deal and I became fixated on making my way to the north of Thailand to seek out my very own slice of the majestic Pai. If you read Kristin's article, I think you will too!
Ryan's travel blog is one of a kind and made for a refreshing read when I happened upon it. What I love about Ryan's blog is his unashamed honesty and his unique storytelling style which makes you feel like you are old friends having a deep and meaningful over a cup of coffee.
Ryan is also nicknamed the "G-Shock guy" for his passion for G-Shock watches. He has one for every need, and has a couple trusted one that he takes everywhere. He's had these G-shocks for many years and are holding on strongly. I've gotten my own G-Shock recently, see my article on why to get one.
I think the best example is Ryan's article "My Chaos Theory and How to Rebuild Your Life When Everything Seems Lost". He speaks openly about the challenges he has faced but more importantly, about the action he is taking to overcome them.
I'm sure this one inspired quite a few people to consider the chaos in their own lives and how they might tackle it; it certainly inspired me.
After my decision to travel was made, I began to consider the possible repercussions of quitting my job to travel the world, namely, the possibility of my skillset becoming redundant and the possibility of running out of money.
I am lucky in that I have always enjoyed my career working in Communications, PR and Digital Marketing, particularly the opportunity to be creative through developing campaigns, writing content and networking with others in the field.
Enter, Adventurous Kate. After a thorough read, and a few re-reads of Kate's article, "The Reality of Being a Professional Travel Blogger" I thought to myself that starting a travel blog could be the right thing for me to do. I blog for work, why not blog outside of work.
By no means does Kate make travel blogging appear an easy option, rather quite the opposite. I really appreciate her honesty, as for many the act of blogging could actually detract from the travelling experience, becoming more of a hindrance than a passion.
However, for me, despite the negative aspects, I thought it was something that I could really enjoy doing whilst also keeping my skills up to date for any future opportunities. Wee Wanders was born.
Having decided that I was going to put as much time and energy into Wee Wanders with the aim of it one day becoming a source of travel inspiration for others, I began searching for tips, advice and motivation.
I read an article on One Step 4ward, "5 Resolutions YOU Should Adopt if You're Serious About Changing Your Life".
Johnny provided practical, useful and inspirational advice and offered 5 steps to success that I plan on implementing in the coming months. Having gone on to peruse the rest of Johnny's site, his successes and ambitions are certainly something I would like to emulate…who knows, he might even become my inspiration buddy! There you have it, my travel inspiration. I'd love to know who or what is YOUR travel inspiration? Let me know below!

GNOME Configuration Made Easy
Getting GNOME
Hello, and welcome to LinuxPlanet's look into the GNOME world. Once a week, I'll cover a detail or two about getting the most out of GNOME and take a look at the newest GNOME software.
This week we'll get up to speed on how to get GNOME, along with a basic configuration trick that makes GNOME's panels a little less obtrusive, provides a handy way to save desktop space, and unclutters your panels of all those app icons so you can save space for pagers and task lists.
Getting GNOME
There are two ways to get GNOME: the GNOME project way, and the Helix Code way, and for most uses, the latter is the way to go. For users of one of the following distributions, Helix Code has a binary release of GNOME for you:
- LinuxPPC 2000
- Debian GNU/Linux 2.3 (Woody)
- TurboLinux 6.0
- Yellow Dog Linux Champion Server 1.2
- RedHat Linux 6.x or 7
- SuSE Linux 6.3 or 6.4
- Linux Mandrake 6.1, 7.0 or 7.1
- Caldera OpenLinux eDesktop 2.4
You can pay a visit to the Helix Code download page and select your distribution. The primary way Helix Code gets GNOME onto your machine is via a graphical installer program you launch from the command line. The site provides the instructions you need to get the installer running.
Users of a distribution based on Debian's packaging system can also just add the following line to the /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main
After adding that line, run the following commands as root:
apt-get update
apt-get install task-helix-gnome
If you aren't using a supported distribution, or you want to build GNOME from the ground up, a visit to the GNOME download page, provides information on how to get GNOME from the stable and unstable source trees, or CVS.
What's in a Version?
If you're wondering about the differences between Helix GNOME and plain old GNOME, it breaks down to a few simple issues:
Helix Code aims to take some of the roughness out of tracking an open source project by providing binary packages tested for integration into their GNOME distribution. They've made a few things easier to get at (like a generous collection of themes) by packaging them up, and their installer adds a level of order to the confusion many feel when considering which of the 80+ packages that comprise the GNOME environment to download.
The most notable difference in the desktop itself is that they've also included a menu panel at the top of the screen that provides easy access to menus, configuration commands, and (by clicking on the clock) the GNOME calendar.
They've also provided an updater program that makes keeping current simple. Running the updater brings up a list of packages changed or added to the Helix GNOME distribution, which it will download and install for you. The updater also allows access to the preview releases of Evolution, the GNOME mailer.
Unless you just like building from source, it pays to follow the GNOME project's lead and just go with the Helix Code version of the GNOME environment. I've seen it in action on Debian, Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE, and Caldera, and it's a painless installation process that provides a stable, comprehensive desktop.

Barley Wood Walled Garden
Barley Wood Walled Garden is a carefully restored Victorian kitchen garden built for Henry Herbert Wills and his family in 1901.
The gardener here is Mark Cox who grows a huge array of vegetables some of which are heritage and heirloom varieties. Espaliers and cordon fruit trees spray and fan, blossoming in spring to create a lacy blur against the warm brick.
Walk through the main arch and down an old cambered brick path bordered by a mass of perennials and clipped yew trees. In the summer these borders are a rainbow of breathtaking colours, flowers of all kinds attract butterflies and bees that live in our orchards. At the bottom overlooking the round cider barn are the old estate workshops, home to a thriving community of artists and crafts people offering a wide range of unique art work and potttery for sale, as well as a calendar of courses, open days and events.
The Ethicurean, as well as running a restaurant in the former glasshouse, regularly holds events in the garden and orchard. Their annual Wassail and Summer Solstice sell out year after year They aim to create a sense of place and community through their food and events, re: imagining and updating our local rituals, histories and traditions.
The gardens are open to the public every day.
(except the Walled area on Mondays)

Can you imagine turning paper into porcelain? I was awed when I read about the idea, and totally amazed and impressed when I realised the lengthy and detailed production processes.
Singapore Mini Maker Faire 2013 would like to introduce Teo Huey Ling, the person behind this alternative ceramics artwork.
The artist
Huey Ling is a practising visual artist who specialises in ceramics, having gone through a 3-year apprenticeship in a bowl and plate-making ceramic workshop in Malaysia before going on to further study in Australia.
She shares a work space with three other artists at the Bedok Industrial Park where they have a kiln to fire ceramics art pieces.
Although she prefers to spend more time on her art works, the NAFA graduate also teaches part time in many places, sometimes in primary schools, mostly in NAFA and Temasek Polytechnic, covering subjects like 2D drawing and painting to 3D clay and wire.
The artwork
Through our interview, Huey Ling expressed her observation of a conservative and repetitive local ceramics environment due to the demand for more functional ceramic ware. However, in her opinion, the word ceramics should transcend beyond functionality into something more contemporary. What is interesting is that her porcelain art works are made of a diverse range of materials, including rice papers and even wool that are used for felting. Hence, her art works are considered unconventional by most in the Ceramics field. Huey Ling believed that the concentrated activity of the making processes will uncover the responsiveness hidden in the materials, hence bring forward the spirit of the process and its energy to the viewer.
Although her art works focus more on the aesthetic aspects, she had chosen to title them "Vessels" just like the wares she made as a potter, which contain and carry things. She sees her artworks as vessels of aesthetics, of the form, of the translucency and whiteness of the porcelain material. Below is an extract from Huey Ling's blog on what the knitted vessel series is about.
"Knitted vessel series is an on-going exploration of form, paper, porcelain and slip casting. It is a combination of multiple methods and processes where rice papers were first cut and twisted into cords, then meticulously crocheted into shapes. The paper crochet shapes were then dipped into porcelain slips to form a slip cast on the paper crochet. Finally, the work is put in a kiln where the paper is fired away to produce the porcelain form."
It is not difficult to imagine the tedious process where the artist has to go through trials and errors to master the materials and understand what works, and also the agony she probably went through when a full kiln of work failed 2 weeks before an important exhibition. As Huey Ling highlighted, it takes a lot of discipline and perseverance for one to become an artist in Singapore. I guess many makers will also find the challenges familiar.
The Faire
Huey Ling had learnt about the Singapore Mini Maker Faire through a friend and she was keen to get to know other people who like to make things. If you drop by her booth, do say "Hi' to her!

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Two rig workers are dead and two others are missing after a non-producing oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico caught fire early Friday, the Coast Guard said.
Coast Guard Capt. Peter Gautier told New Orleans broadcaster WWLTV that 28 people were on board a rig in the shallow waters in the Gulf of Mexico at the time of the incident. Two people were killed, two more were missing and four others were taken from the rig by air transport to an area medical center.
The Coast Guard official said the rig wasn't producing oil at the time of the incident. Fluid from a pipe under service by maintenance workers may have caused the explosion, he said.
Kirk Trascher, a spokesman for rig owner Black Elk Energy, told Houston broadcaster KHOU that no oil was released into the gulf.
Last month, the independent company announced plans to start drilling and carry out "major rig work" in the first of 23 wells in the Gulf of Mexico during the month of November. The company explained the November startup was part of a multiyear program in the region.
The incident occurred one day after the U.S. Justice Department fined British energy company BP $4 billion for the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. That accident left 11 rig workers dead and lead to the worst accidental offshore oil spill in the history of the industry.
BP was charged with manslaughter for each of the rig workers killed in the 2010 accident.
The Coast Guard said it was investigating the latest incident.

Gentle, Professional Cleanings
Getting your teeth cleaned is an important part of oral hygiene. To maintain your oral health, a professional cleaning is recommended at least twice a year. It's important that you stick to this regimen so that you can stay up-to-date on the condition of your teeth. Professional cleanings remove tarter, plaque and stains that have accumulated on your teeth; this buildup occurs even with routine brushing. At Long Creek Dental Care we are committed to providing you with comfortable, pleasant dental experience.
Good, consistent oral hygiene helps prevent cavities and gum disease. At your appointment we are also able to look for abnormalities in the mouth that may be signs of oral cancer. If any problems are detected, we want to be able to treat them as soon as possible to avoid the development of more serious issues.
Call today to schedule your cleaning!

4 people sickened after dog vomits toxic chemical
The Associated Press
Aspen, CO Colorado
Aspen, CO Colorado
EDWARDS, Colo. – Four people at an Edwards veterinary clinic were hospitalized after a dog that ingested what was likely rat poison vomited, filling the clinic with toxic fumes.
The Vail Daily reports the dog vomited the chemical after being brought into the Vail Valley Animal Hospital on Friday. A news release from the Eagle River Fire Protection District says three people in the room showed signs of "respiratory distress" and were taken to a hospital for treatment. A fourth person who may have been exposed was taken to the hospital as a precaution.
The dog later died.

I saw the new NFL legends at retail a couple of days ago. Notably Jack Lambert. And on cardboard cardbacks. What gives?
I've been seeing some more NFL figures out there. Saw the boxed versions of Favre and TO. Also saw carded Jamarcus Russell, Reggie Bush and Randy Moss. Basically I'm passing until the Brandon Jacobs figure hits.
Yeah, the Pro Shots line is from Upper Deck. I don't know if they have anyone other than Tiger and Jordan planned, as all I've seen/heard about it is one Tiger and one Jordan each in Waves 1-4.I also read somewhere that Gentle Giant had something to do with these... I can't recall if they did the scanning or the sculpting or what?

Even silence can be deafening for Diana Goodman. She's under constant barrage by the voices screaming in her head. Sometimes they are so loud she can't hear anything else in the daring rock musical "Next to Normal."
The seemingly normal soccer mom often finds herself baking a birthday cake for someone who died long ago. Or hiding in her car during her daughter's music recital. Or talking to people who aren't really there.
Diana's never-ending battle with bipolar disorder is the core of "Next to Normal," a raw and riveting musical about life in the shadows of mental illness that runs through Feb. 3 at the San Jose Rep. Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt's Pulitzer Prize-winning show finds a way to match Diana's torrential emotional storms to the sounds of volcanic rock music so that we can all experience the raging forces in her head. While David Ira Goldstein's production lacks the devastating impact of the Broadway production, there's no denying the compelling nature of the musical.
Goldstein has assembled an appealing cast of gifted singers who deliver the electric rock score with sensitivity. What the production lacks is a piercing sense of intimacy that moves us to the core. This "Normal" never cuts close enough to the bone to be fully cathartic.
Certainly, it's hard to banish memories of Alice Ripley's incandescent turn as Diana in the deeply poignant Broadway production. Her Diana was so vulnerable and exposed that watching her descent into madness was wrenching. The brutality of her suffering just to make it from day to the next was palpable and unforgettable.
Here Kendra Kassebaum ("Wicked," "Leap of Faith") captures Diana's guts, the pluckiness she gamely musters in the face of gloom, but she misses the suffering behind the cheery smile.
The Broadway veteran does have great pipes and she flows from ballads to bellows with grace. But Diana should be a more tormented soul, wracked by grief but also a little in love with volatility. She stops taking her meds because they make her feel too boring. She misses the turbulent highs and lows of her disease in the wistful "I Miss the Mountains."
Without enough anguish at the center of the drama, the narrative can be seem belabored. The relationship between Diana and her son Gabe (Jonathan Shew), for instance, never feels chaotic and messy enough to suggest a real connection. The number "I'm Alive" lacks menace and the big reveals need more bite.
Still, Yorkey and Kitt mine many compelling themes here. From teenagers disenchanted with a polluted universe to the lethargy of the long married and a daughter's fear of becoming her mother, "Normal" forces us to face the demons hiding in everyday life. The show not only demystifies mental illness, it also shines a light on the aspects of our society that have gone a bit haywire, from the ennui of the suburbs to the greed of the pharmaceutical industry. "Who's Crazy/My Psycho-pharmacologist And I" crackles with grim wit.
One of the most insightful aspects of the show is how it captures the quiet tragedies of the other family members. Diana is the heroine of this epic soap opera but it's her husband Dan (Joe Cassidy) and daughter Natalie (Andrea Ross) who pay the highest price.
The affable Dan becomes numb, so dulled by constant care-giving that he has no sense of his own needs. The tightly-wound Natalie becomes an obsessive A student because she is willing to sacrifice everything for the order she craves.
Her teenage rebellion is all about rigidity until she meets a charming stoner kid, Henry (A.J. Homes), and falls down the rabbit hole of recreational drugs. For the first time in her life, she thinks she has found an oasis of peace.
Chaos and stress become the family's regular rhythm, as habitual as a morning cup of coffee. It's only when Diana comes to terms with her darkness that the rest of the Goodmans begin to emerge from their cocoons of pain.
While this "Normal" never achieves the shattering intensity it deserves, it's still a compelling study in the things that bind us to one another and the things that drive us apart.

text: Doug have got many valuable points I think. The current application using MPI or OPENMP on a multi-core machine runs in simple SMP way, which means nearly nothing done for multi-core optimization. IMHO, at least multi-core processors equips with different internal inter-connection from general SMP system. We can put much data exchanging operations done on one socket and the external bandwidth can be used for any other threads. For SMP systems or multi-core systems, main memory bandwidth can be the critical bottle-neck. In some of my experiments, 8 cores can eat all of them and in extreme cases, 4 cores eat up and you can hardly find any improvement from 4 cores to 8 cores. In these conditions, data transferring should be planned well and done in an efficient. By the way, I prefer to use OPENMP on a SMP system and MPI between boxes in a cluster. Multi-core processors saved me much money for the same peak performance, but tuning or optimization can help us do better.

Columbus Public Health is using the latest technology to combat mosquitoes and the spread of the West Nile virus.
Columbus Public Health is using the latest technology to combat mosquitoes and the spread of the West Nile virus.
The health agency has launched three new GIS maps at publichealth.columbus.org that will provide information just as central Ohio enters the time for the greatest risk, from July to mid-September.
One map shows mosquito counts and traps in individual neighborhoods, another discloses where the disease has been found in mosquitoes and a third gives information on spraying locations.
"It's one of the many tools we use to help protect our residents," said Jose Rodriguez, spokesman for CPH.
Although no cases of West Nile had been reported as of July 3, Columbus started spraying for mosquitoes last week, targeting 41 parks throughout the city and the greater Downtown area. Rodriguez said those sites were chosen because they would see the most activity from July 4 celebrations.
Additionally, 81 permanent locations have been added throughout Columbus and Worthington to trap and test mosquitoes for West Nile.
The city will factor in the same criteria in deploying its spray trucks: mosquito trap results, reports from field staff, the number and type of trapped mosquitoes, the number of infected mosquitoes and evidence of human disease.
"All of these factors have already been the determining factors of where we spray," he said. "The only thing we're doing differently is using GIS mapping because (residents) want to know what the mosquito counts are. So this year, we'll be using some new tools."
City workers try to spray areas between 4 and 6 a.m. because those are times of low traffic and disturb the fewest number of residents, he said.
Residents also are being asked to do their part by getting rid of standing water in areas such as gutters, discarded tires, buckets and uncovered trash receptacles.
"Anything, really, in your backyard that can hold water can be a place for (mosquito) breeding," Rodriguez said.
"It's amazing -- a little cap of water you leave on a table can hold water and become a breeding source."
Wherever there are reports of standing water, health officials make on-site visits to treat the water.
More local residents are hooking up rain barrels to their downspouts, using the collected rain to water plants. While that can be beneficial, the barrels also can provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes. So, CPH recommends that residents treat the barrels with anti-mosquito pellets, which are available at most hardware stores and are safe for plants, Rodriguez said.
In 2012, the Ohio Department of Health reported 114 human cases of West Nile virus, six of which were fatal. In 2013, there were 23 cases of the virus, three of which were fatal.
Rodriguez said the disparity is the result of the drought in 2012. Standing water became more stagnant, making it easier for mosquitoes to breed, he said.
People can also protect themselves from mosquito bites by wearing insect repellent with DEET, staying indoors or wearing long sleeves and pants during early morning and late evening hours, and checking and repairing window screens.
"During dusk and dawn, that's when it's best to stay inside because that's when mosquitoes are most active," Rodriguez said.

Eielson Building
1820 Salcha Street
The Carl Ben Eielson Memorial Building, originally intended to house a school of aeronautical engineering, complete with a wind tunnel and labs to test atmospheric conditions, was deemed a fitting tribute to Carl Ben Eielson, known as the "Arctic Lindbergh." In the 1930s, aviation was one of Alaska's fastest growing industries, and Fairbanks was at its center due to its desirable location for over-the-pole routes to Asia and Europe.
Today the Eielson Building houses offices for several UAF departments.

Excel VBA Error #1004 – Excel cannot access the file
August 30, 2013 1 Comment
This is primarily a PeopleSoft nVision post – but it also pertains to Excel developers. For those not familiar with it, nVision is a wrapper provided by Oracle/PeopleSoft whereby the Excel application can be used by PeopleSoft processes. What gets produced is an Excel workbook.
Excel is installed on an application server, and is called via the nVision wrapper. A number of our nVision layouts (Excel workbooks) have VBA macro code associated with them.
A shift in providing reports to consumers was recently made within the company. Up til recently the reports were available from shares on the application server where nVision/Excel was running. That's been changed – the reports now have to be made available on a separate file server share.
And to make things both simpler as well as complex, the older style UNC path would no longer be allowed; instead all paths have to be DFS pointers.
Our users started running into random problems shortly after the change. The common error was:
Error Source: Microsoft Office Excel. Error #1004 – Description: Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'some file name'. There are several possible reasons:
The file name or path does not exist.
The file is being used by another program.
The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
VBA Help Message # 1001004.
I was able to pin point what code was throwing the error, and it was in a section that does the following:
- Create a new workbook from a template
- Save the new workbook with a unique file name
- Copy some text from the source workbook
- Paste it into the new workbook
- Run some more vba to make the new worksheets pretty
- Save the new workbook and close it out
Rinse and repeat another several hundred times. It took a couple of tries but from what I determined the error would always get thrown when attempting some action on the new (target) workbook. And since that workbook was now being created in a remote share, DFS was the culprit.
That is a reasonable assumption based on how DFS works. That's not a topic for this post – if you want more Microsoft has an article here. Note this line from the link – DFS requires Domain Name System (DNS) and Active Directory replication are working properly.
I see DNS and I think HTTP, network packets, domain controllers and RPC. A far too complex environment for VBA to be operating in.
So to resolve the issue I changed where the work was being done. Instead of saving the new workbook over the wire to the final destination and then doing more work to it via VBA; the work is back to being done in the same place the source workbook is. That path is guaranteed by getting the ThisWorkbook.Path value of the source workbook.
So the above list is back to getting accomplished locally. Once step 6 is complete there are two more items to the task list:
- Use FIleSystemObject method CopyFile – and put a copy of the new workbook in the new reports share using DFS
- Then user FileSystemObject method DeleteFile to get rid of the local copy of the new workbook.
No more random errors and the users are back to being happy. And company policy is maintained.

Chestnut Hill churches continue to present some of the region's most important ensembles performing some of the most compelling programs. St. Paul's Episcopal Church was the site of a Friday, Jan. 11, joint concert by the Buxtehude Consort and Sonnambula in "Music of the German Baroque." Then, on Sunday, Jan. 20, the Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill presented the Wilmington-based group, Melomanie, in "Provocative Pairings of Early & Contemporary Works." Both concerts were intelligently conceived and impressively performed.
The Buxtehude Consort/Sonnambula concert offered two singers, soprano Jolle Greenleaf and mezzo Virginia Warnken, with three instrumentalists, organist Liga Vilmane and viola da gamba players Loren Ludwig and Elizabeth Weinfeld. Together they were heard in music by Rosenmuller, Schein, Schenck, Bach, Sweelinck, Schop and (of course) Buxtehude.
Both gamba players caught the mournful eloquence of the Andante movement of Schenck's "Sonata No. 3 in D major," while Vilmane and Ludwig accompanied Greenleaf in "Offne Dich" from Bach's "Cantata No. 61" so beautifully by allowing its ongoing thematic development to unfold affectedly. Vilmane played Sweelinck's solo, "Paduana Lachrimae," projecting its Renaissance modality through expert finger legato.
The performances given Schop's "Lachrimae Paven" and Buxtehude's "Singet dem Hern" were especially noteworthy for Ludwig's playing a treble viola da gamba. Its higher range, more like that of a modern viola, afforded him many opportunities for expressive phrasing.
Melomanie is comprised of Kimberly Reighley on baroque and modern flutes, Christof Richter on baroque and modern violins, Donna Fournier on viola da gamba, Douglas McNames on baroque and modern cellos and Tracy Richardson on harpsichord. For the Sunday concert in Chestnut Hill, Melomanie welcomed guest baroque flutist Eve Friedman.
The afternoon's program featured two baroque scores and two modern works. The two early pieces were actually the first and second halves of Francois Couperin's "La Pietmontoise" (from "Les Nations"), the Sonate and then the Dances. The new pieces were "Dreams" by Sergio Roberto de Oliveira, here receiving its world premiere, and Roberto Pace's "Fantasie: Melomanie," composed in 2009.
Although I found Couperin's Sonate more than a little tedious, the "Suite of Dances" is delightful, and Richardson was particularly adept at bringing out its rhythmic agility, elegant melodies and tart harmonies.
The Philadelphia Orchestra's new music director, Yannick Nezet-Seguin, returned to the ensemble's podium for a set of three concerts performed in the Kimmel Center's Verizon Hall. I caught the performance of Saturday, Jan. 19, and came away with an ever more optimistic view of the orchestra's future under the direction of its dynamic conductor.
Nezet-Seguin's program featured Ravel's "La Valse," Szymanowski's "Violin Concerto No. 2" with soloist Leonidas Kavakos, and Shostakovich's "Symphony No. 5 in D minor." Both the Ravel and the Szymanowski were given convincing readings, but it was in the Shostakovich that Nezet-Seguin displayed the gifts that have made him the most fanatically adored new music director since I first began writing about the Philadelphians in 1976.
That was assuredly the case Saturday evening. It was almost as though Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony was expressively composed for Nezet-Seguin and the Philadelphia Orchestra to perform, so perfectly well did his interpretive talents and their sonic capabilities coincide with the score.

The most fun part of this dinner was that Mr VE&T and I each rolled our own Spring Rolls. Mr VE&T harkened back to his college days and his rolls all looked like joints, which was sorta funny. I never explored that scene, so mine looked like little burritos (because, I have explored the burrito scene).
This dinner was a bonafide homerun. Mr. VE&T pretty much fell in love with the Tofu Vindaloo. It was a super umami blast of rich, intense flavors. I used the Tempeh Vindaloo recipe, but used tofu instead and roasted the tofus for a longer time, so they were more firm, the way we like them.
The Saag Aloo was a good balance with all of its greeny goodness. I used kale instead of spinach, because that's what I had in the fridge. It was super good. But, like I said, Mr. VE&T loved loved loved this dish, and began quoting Shakespeare:

INDIANAPOLIS—An Indianapolis police officer honored last year for his bravery was shot and killed early Friday when he was ambushed by a gunman after kicking in an apartment door in response to a woman's screams for help, police said.
Officer Rod Bradway had been talking for several minutes to the man, who had held the woman hostage for three hours and was hiding behind the door as the officer entered, Detective Thomas Lehn said.
"He made it past the door and then he got ambushed. … Once he passes that door, he gets shot, and that first shot is a fatal wound," he said, noting Bradway had little time to react.
The 41-year-old officer was hit in the upper torso in an area not covered by his bulletproof vest, Lehn said, and was pronounced dead at an Indianapolis hospital.
Police said Bradway returned fire, striking the suspect before he fell to the floor.
A second officer rushed toward the door of the second-floor apartment on the city's northwest side and exchanged about 15 shots with the alleged gunman, who was killed and later identified by the Marion County Coroner's Office as 24-year-old Steven Byrdo.
Neither the woman, an ex-girlfriend of Byrdo, nor her 11-month-old child were injured in the incident, Lehn said.
Indiana Department of Correction records show Byrdo had felony drug convictions in 2011 and 2013 and had been released from prison in June after serving a cocaine-dealing conviction sentence.
Bradway, who was married with a teenage son and daughter, was a five-year veteran of the department and a native of the northern Indiana town of Nappanee.
Police Chief Rick Hite asked the public to pray for Bradway's family.
"He entered an apartment to save the life of a woman who was being assaulted and in turn gave his life," Hite said. "Blessed are the peacemakers."
Bradway was a highly decorated officer who had received its Medal of Bravery in February 2012.
Bill Owensby, the president of the Indianapolis Fraternal Order of Police, said Bradway was honored for apprehending a deranged, knife-wielding man who was threatening others.
Bradway and his wife also traveled to Moore, Okla., following May's deadly tornado to deliver hundreds of pounds of dog and cat food, pet crates, leashes and other supplies they collected for pets displaced or found wandering in the storm's aftermath, Owensby said.
"We've already heard from Oklahoma offering their sympathies because they remembered what he did," he said.
Bradway's police cruiser, adorned with flowers, was placed outside a police district office hours after squad cars escorted a vehicle carrying his body from the hospital to the coroner's office.
The shooting prompted Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard to cut short a trip to Germany for a business summit. The mayor said in a statement that Bradway "gave his life protecting the people of our community by charging ahead to confront the unknown."
Bradway is the first Indianapolis police officer killed in the line of duty since January 2011, when Officer David Moore died after being shot during a traffic stop.
Bradway played football and was on the track team at NorthWood High School in Nappanee, about 20 miles southeast of South Bend, graduating in 1991.
Jon Andrews, who knew Bradway while coaching at NorthWood, recalled him as gregarious and athletic.
"Always had a smile on his face. Always concerned about others," Andrews told The Elkhart Truth. "I think he loved people and loved athletics, and both of those showed up in the way he built his life."
Associated Press writer Tom Davies contributed to this report.

A selected excerpt:
Government leaders will need to take a "shock-and-awe" approach towards the economy as indicators show a worsening recession, Mohamed El-Erian, co-CEO of the Pimco bond fund, said Friday. Asked what he would do if he stood in Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's shoes, El-Erian said the government needs to take drastic, immediate and comprehensive action to combat the threats posed by the crumbling economy.
Do people like El-Erian actually think before speaking? Do they think at all? Perhaps not thinking is a luxury that only the very rich can afford?
A leading bond fund manager is asked for his views on how U.S. government policy might be designed to combat what appears to be a worsening recession. How will he answer? One might hope that the experienced sage will draw on the lessons learned from past interventions in the U.S. and elsewhere. Nope. Perhaps he will draw on a few philosophical principles concerning the role of government in the economy. Nope. Perhaps he will frame his views in the context of a coherent economic theory. Yeah, right.
Nosiree...forget all that BS. Instead, for inspiration and as a model of successful intervention, our high-paid fund manager draws on one of the greatest U.S. policy failures of all time -- the "shock and awe" bombing campaign that preceeded the U.S. invasion of Iraq. How's that as an example of "drastic, immediate, and comprehensive" action? And oh boy, that sure turned out well, didn't it?
