Mancini: New-look City yet to click
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini admits his side's stuttering start to the season could be partly down to trying to bed in new players too quickly.
Defensive midfielder Javi Garcia played the full 90 minutes of Sunday's 1-1 draw with Arsenal while winger Scott Sinclair also made the starting line-up, although he was replaced at half-time by another summer signing, Jack Rodwell.
All three players were signed in August, while Garcia, Sinclair and defender Maicon did not arrive at the club until the final day of the transfer window. Mancini admitted: "We had new players only in the last two or three days of the market, and maybe these players don't know their team-mates well and need time."
City dropped only two points at home all season last campaign, drawing with Sunderland in March, and Mancini knows they need to get back to winning ways as soon as possible. The defending champions are already four points behind Chelsea after three draws from their opening five games.
Mancini added: "The second year after winning a championship is always difficult and I hope we start to win in our next league game, because we need a win. But we need to improve if we are to do that."
City are back in action on Tuesday in the third round of the Capital One Cup against Aston Villa, where Mancini is likely to change his whole team, before a trip to London on Saturday to face in-form Fulham.
Joleon Lescott, who scored City's opener against the Gunners before an 82nd-minute equaliser from Laurent Koscielny, said: "We probably didn't get going as much as we'd like but we showed another side of our game is resilience and unfortunately for us we conceded late on.
"We didn't get in a rhythm for long enough. Arsenal made it hard for us at times and they're a good team, so it's not a negative result but we're used to winning at home and we're bitterly disappointed to concede."
Mancini will include youngsters Denis Suarez, Abdul Razak and Luca Scapuzzi in the squad for Tuesday's game while Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli are likely to lead the line after only being used as substitutes against Arsenal.
However, City will be without four players after James Milner and Maicon joined Samir Nasri and Micah Richards on the sidelines. Maicon took a kick to his leg against Madrid and is unlikely to be out for long but Milner is seeing a specialist about a toe problem.

Likely there are more possibilities, why the tda10048 does not appear, powered off for example to safe energy, but since you also had a crash previously, try a cold boot at first, means wait some time without any power connected, depending on capacitors of the mobo, but 30 seconds without any power should be always safe, and then just let it auto detect card=0 without a tuner again and let i2c_scan=1 enabled one more time. If still the same, you are likely above that basic testing step and can scratch heads on what doing next. Good Luck, Hermann

If you were wondering whether "Prison Break" (7 p.m. Monday, WFLD-Ch. 32) lost a step during its long break, which began in November, don't worry. The three episodes that kick off the series' return are among the best "Prison Break" has done.
They're more emotionally resonant, more surprising, even more knottily plotted. Plus, in the flashback episode that arrives April 3, viewers will get to see Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) in regular clothes, not a drab prison uniform. And in a bar having drinks, no less!
But in the haunting episode that airs Monday, things get very dark indeed. Though Scofield's prison-escape plan progresses in fits and starts, things don't look good for his brother, Lincoln Burrows, who is on Death Row for killing the vice president's brother. Whatever one's stance on the death penalty, seeing the last hours of a man headed for the electric chair puts a knot in the stomach.
And the "Prison Break" cast is more than up to the challenge of portraying Burrows' darkest hours. Given the restrained, tightly wound performance Miller has given to date as Scofield, seeing that character cry is not something to take lightly. And since the series began, Dominic Purcell has given Burrows a weighty sadness mixed with tormented bravery. Miller, Purcell and the rest of the cast make this episode riveting.
As usual, multiple twists await the inmates of Fox River Penitentiary, and, as with "24," the storytelling is so gripping that one forgives the occasional plot hole. There's progress on the outside, too, as Burrows' lawyers fight to keep the prisoner alive (watch for Chicago theater veteran Tracy Letts in the courtroom scenes).
The April 3 episode is a high point: It shows what the "Break" gang was up to before they got to Fox River. Would you believe that earnest Dr. Sara Tancredi has the most surprising past of all? And that hard-guy inmate C-Note has an even more revelatory back story? Plus the episode gives the series the chance to showcase even more cool Chicago locations (check out Scofield's ultrahip architect's office).
It almost seems overkill that the great Michelle Forbes has a supporting role in these episodes, and that one scene is shot in Wrigley Field. "Prison Break" is back all right, and it's got plenty of goodies.

About Mountain House
During the Vietnam War, the Department of Defense put out a request for food that tasted better, lasted longer and weighed less than old K and C rations. Their parent company, Oregon Freeze Dry, responded to that request and won the contract. They immediately started making freeze dried food for the United States Special Forces. They have continued to make food for the United States Special Forces and other branches of the military ever since.
As the war began to wind down, Oregon Freeze Dry took the surplus rations to military surplus stores, where they rapidly sold out. It was then in 1968 they realized there was great consumer demand for freeze dried food and Mountain House was born.
Mountain House #10 Cans Packed in airtight #10 cans, Mountain House freeze-dried foods have the longest shelf life available. We can confidently claim a 25-year shelf life, because our testing has shown the shelf life exceeds 25 years! These independent university studies were performed on actual 20-, 25- and 30-year-old product stored under real-world conditions, which weren't always ideal -- not on newer product exposed to an accelerated-time environment in a laboratory. In addition, we have personally tasted cans that were 35 years old and still taste great! The interior and exterior of the cans are coated with protective enamel for double protection. Our canning process removes at least 98% of the residual oxygen, meeting stringent U.S. Military specifications. Your food is protected until you are ready to enjoy it.
What foods are best for Survival Food storage?
To round out your survival food pantry, we recommend a wide variety of foods from canned foods to freeze dried and dehydrated foods packaged in sealed containers with oxygen absorbers. These storable long shelf life foods last for 25 years or more if stored well. Keep these foods out of temperature extremes and direct sunlight. A dry basement, the bottom of a closet, under a bed and so on are perfect places to store your survival food. Freeze dried foods keep their original size, whereas, dehydrated foods will shrink in size, but both are great for emergency food storage. Prepackaged items in #10 cans with an oxygen absorber last from 10 to 30 years. Freeze dried and dehydrated fruits and vegetables are great foods for your survival food pantry as well. They are delicious snacks right out of the cans or easily added to a variety of recipes calling for fruits and vegetables, which means they are easy to rotate through. Once they are opened, they are exposed to oxygen, so they'll need to be used within about a year or so.

Beyond Bravery: The Women of 9/11
Aired September 5, 2011 - 23:00 ET
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A plane has just crashed into the World Trade Center. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We just have to accept the fact that this is probably going to be something where there are going to be fatalities. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (INAUDIBLE) it hit the second tower. We got visible fire showing out there. We need (INAUDIBLE) tower two! TERRI TOBIN, NEW YORK POLICE DEPARTMENT: We got there at 8:54. We really flew. The south tower, though it had been hit second, went down first. I look up and I see it. I'm not going to outrun this. SOLEDAD O'BRIEN, CNN SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): On September 11, 2001, New York police lieutenant Terri Tobin worked for the NYPD press office. Her job, handle the media. TOBIN: I got blown out of my shoes. And I just -- I feel blood going down the back of my neck. There is this chunk of cement. O'BRIEN: She was beneath the twin towers when they collapsed. TOBIN: If I didn't have the helmet on my head, I would have been decapitated. The glass went through my back but didn't puncture my lung. At that moment, I said, This is it. We're all going to die on the street. All you heard was people screaming. So I grabbed someone's hand and I said, I'm with the NYPD. I'm not going to let go. My name is Teresa (ph) Tobin. I am a deputy inspector in the NYPD. O'BRIEN: Terri is just one of the extraordinary women who came to the rescue that day, featured in this 2002 book, "Women at Ground Zero." BRENDA BERKMAN, NEW YORK FIRE DEPT. (RET.): Little boys and girls should have these women as their role models. REGINA WILSON, NEW YORK FIRE DEPARTMENT: People want to say that we're a part of the brotherhood. We're not. You know, we're sisters. We're women. BERKMAN: It's going to be 1,776 feet high. It will be taller than the original twin towers. O'BRIEN: Today, six of these women of Ground Zero tell the story of the past decade of rebuilding, recovering and restoring hope. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It's just something that you'll never forget. TOBIN: We saw the worst of human beings on this planet. I also think that we saw the best. And I think some remarkable things have occurred as a result of 9/11. O'BRIEN: Deputy inspector Terri Tobin is the commander of the New York Police Department's Office of Personnel. (on camera): Do you ever have regrets about being a first responder on 9/11? TOBIN: I have not one regret. O'BRIEN: Never? With the injuries that you suffered? TOBIN: No. Not at all. Not at all. I was doing what I was meant to do. And to this day, I am convinced that I'm doing exactly as I'm meant to be doing at this point in my life. O'BRIEN (voice-over): Women have been a part of the New York Police Department for nearly a century, yet they are just 17 percent of the force, 15 percent nationwide. TOBIN: Well, I came on the police department in 1983. And I think at that point, we were only 6 percent of the department. But I come from a law enforcement family. My dad was a NYPD officer. And I'm one of five, and four of the five of us followed in his footsteps. O'BRIEN: Regina Wilson is the only woman in her firehouse nearly 30 years after women won the right to be New York firefighters. WILSON: I came in in '99. So it happened in 2001, so I think I got a full understanding of what it means to be the first person on the scene. O'BRIEN (on camera): Why would you want a job that is so dangerous and so risky? WILSON: It's just the nature of serving and the nature of helping people and seeing that people are safe. O'BRIEN (voice-over): Terri believes the small numbers are why women don't get more recognition for their roles on September 11. (on camera): There were female firefighters. TOBIN: Right. O'BRIEN: Police officers. TOBIN: Right. O'BRIEN: EMS. TOBIN: Correct. There were female carpenters. I don't think that there was any task that was performed down there by men that was not performed by a woman. O'BRIEN (voice-over): Terri believes women can still make their mark. Her role is reviving a department that lost 23 officers on September 11. Nearly 100 more retired due to post-traumatic stress. TOBIN: It has a significant impact in terms of how we respond. O'BRIEN: Forty percent of the department is new since 9/11. TOBIN: There's a whole series of training that didn't exist, say, when I came, you know, on the job. We do counterterrorism training. As an executive, I get briefed on worldwide events. So it is different. It is actually how to respond. Our equipment has changed to reflect all of that, as well. O'BRIEN (on camera): In what ways? TOBIN: Well, we now have a mask that we can put on, an escape hood. We all have counterterrorism bags. RAY KELLY, NEW YORK CITY POLICE COMMISSIONER: Terri is, as I say, emblematic of that spirit, that can-do spirit. O'BRIEN (voice-over): The police department rebuilt its command center after 9/11 and started a special counterterrorism team. (on camera): So you can control the cameras, meaning you go wider, you can move them... KELLY: -- you can move. O'BRIEN (voice-over): Police commissioner Ray Kelly. KELLY: The world has become a much smaller place. Certainly, it's a dangerous place. We recognize that. But we're communicating now much more effectively, and we all realize that we're in this together. TOBIN: It took a long time for people to come around hopeful, to be hopeful again. So many people that have taken the vulnerability and their feelings from 9/11 and done remarkable acts of heroism in everyday life. O'BRIEN: Terri won a medal of valor for her work on 9/11 and then devoted herself to a decade of restoring hope, like many of the women of Ground Zero. Regina Wilson has devoted her decade to another mission. WILSON: My job is different every day. We work two days a week, eight days a month. This is a good, good job. O'BRIEN: She's convincing more women to join New York's bravest, even, even if it means risking their lives. (on camera): This is not an easy job. WILSON: Right. O'BRIEN: And it's a scary job and it's a job where you could die on the job. WILSON: Right. O'BRIEN: Why is it something that you fought to be part of? (COMMERCIAL BREAK) WILSON: All I kept hearing was, We're under attack! We're under attack! Everybody run! Everybody run! And then we turned around, and it was just like this big, black smoke, right, with flames in it just coming towards us. So we ran. It went completely black. At that point, I was trying to resolve myself and get content with death. O'BRIEN (voice-over): Regina Wilson's fire company was blown back at the mouth of Ground Zero. WILSON: It felt like a war zone. Fires were everywhere. In one of the buildings, there was a fire on every other floor. O'BRIEN: She had traded spots with another firefighter who arrived earlier. His remains were never found. WILSON: I knew that our guys were dead. My name is Regina Wilson and I am a firefighter for the city of New York. CHILDREN: Good morning! WILSON: Who here knows what a firefighter does? O'BRIEN: These Manhattan kindergarteners are too young to have witnessed the terror or the heroism of 9/11. WILSON: You see boys all the time doing all of the jobs. If you want to do anything at all, you can do it, even though you're girls, because girls rock, right? Do girls rock? CHILDREN: Yes! WILSON: All right! O'BRIEN: Regina's challenge is convincing these girls that the value of serving is greater than the danger. BERKMAN: These are all women -- you can't see it too much, but they're holding -- see this hose line here? O'BRIEN: Brenda Berkman fought for that right in 1979 when she sued the fire department for gender discrimination. Three years later, she won. And this lawyer-turn-firefighter was among the first 42 women hired. BERKMAN: Over here, you know, we've got the names of all the people who were lost that day. O'BRIEN: Brenda retired a captain in 2006. She now gives tours of the 9/11 Tribute Center, hoping to remind people of the women at Ground Zero. (on camera): So at the 10-year mark, what do you personally want for you? BERKMAN: For me, I'd like to feel like -- that history is going to be remembered accurately, that there are going to -- that women are going to be in the picture as rescue and recovery workers, that we're going to move on, but at the same time, we're going to never forget. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Firefighter Wilson will make the pickup. Take out the slack. Tighten it up. Gina, ready to go? WILSON: Ready. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All right, let's get that over the edge. O'BRIEN: Twelve years ago, Regina joined Engine 219 in Brooklyn, a beneficiary of Brenda's lawsuit. WILSON: Sir, can you please put your arms around my neck, and I'm going to grab your waist. Down, down, down! O'BRIEN (on camera): This is not an easy job. WILSON: Right. O'BRIEN: And it's a scary job and it's a job where you could die on the job. WILSON: Right. O'BRIEN: Why is this something that you fought to be part of? WILSON: Because I think it's a cause worthy of that. Everyone needs somebody to look out for them. And I think, like, the purest part of my job is when I'm in uniform because you can't tell my race. You can't tell my gender. O'BRIEN (voice-over): She became the first firefighter in her family. WILSON: I was raised that way because I was in church and I've learned the basics of loving one another and on putting other people before yourself. O'BRIEN: Regina hopes more women will follow her into firefighting. Yet 10 years after 9/11, the fire department has fewer female firefighters. (on camera): How many female firefighters are there in the city? WILSON: 29. O'BRIEN: Out of? WILSON: A little close to 11,000. O'BRIEN: 29 out of 11,000? WILSON: Yes. So we're not even a percentage. O'BRIEN: How much of it is discrimination? WILSON: Discrimination is everywhere. I mean, this is a very physical job, but just because it's physical just doesn't mean that a man can do it. O'BRIEN (voice-over): More women have joined the other rescue services since 9/11, including the military and the Department of Homeland Security, which was established after the attacks. DHS secretary Janet Napolitano. JANET NAPOLITANO, SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY: We've got 230,000-some-odd employees who are spread all over the United States, and a third of our employees are women and 25 percent of our upper management are women. I'm proud of that. O'BRIEN: In New York, 17 percent of the police department is female. Firefighting remains an exception. WILSON: I kind of felt like I had the double-whammy. I couldn't, you know, retreat and blend in because I was African- American. And I believe it was only 16 in my class. And I was the only woman. O'BRIEN: Fewer than 5 percent of U.S. firefighters are women, and they report high levels of harassment on the job. WILSON: You have to kind of pull yourself back from it because, they'll let you know sometimes how they feel about women. Hi, I'm Regina. Nice to meet you, Elizabeth. O'BRIEN: The fire department recently launched a recruiting drive. Regina is always looking for new female firefighters. WILSON: I always feel like I'm doing something for my community. O'BRIEN: Regina says she's felt only support at her firehouse, where 7 firefighters were among the 343 who died. She's remembering all of them in a memorial CD. (on camera): Is it painful to look at this? WILSON: Yes. It's sad because they brought so much to this house and they brought so much happiness and joy. Like, Henry was the dad of the house. And Frank Palumbo, he was an awesome guy. He had 10 children. Before 9/11, I've gone to fires. I've even gotten burned at fires. But I still didn't grasp the concept of my job. And I think 9/11 really changed what it means to be a firefighter in the city of New York. There's nothing in the world that girls can't do. We could be police officers. We can be construction workers. We can drive trains. O'BRIEN (voice-over): A concept the female firefighters seek to instill in this classroom named in honor of Brenda. CHILDREN: Brenda Berkman fought fires! She fought with all her might! O'BRIEN: But Brenda Berkman's fight over the legacy of Ground Zero is not over. BERKMAN: There are going to be people who are going to be unhappy with it. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This brings back a lot of bad memories. BERKMAN: I might be one of them. Why has it taken 10 years to build on that site? (COMMERCIAL BREAK) BERKMAN: We led the charge into Manhattan with this whole group of Brooklyn firefighters because we had the lights and sirens. O'BRIEN (voice-over): Firefighter Brenda Berkman was among the army of rescue workers who came to search for survivors. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Advise them they can go to (INAUDIBLE) local hospital (INAUDIBLE) blood donations. BERKMAN: We were all in a desperation mode. We had to find those people who were trapped. There were eight officers from my battalion who responded. Five of them were killed. I'll be sitting somewhere, and all of a sudden, some guy's face or his name will flash into my head, and I'll just be, like -- you know, the disbelief just sets in all over again. My name is Brenda Berkman, and I am a retired New York City fire officer. For me, that was the question I was constantly asking myself after 9/11, How am I going to react to this terrible, terrible event? I had absolutely no background in art when I started here. O'BRIEN: For this Minnesota native, solace came through her art. BERKMAN: It's been a tremendous creative outlet for me, but I never did any prints that directly spoke about 9/11 up until just within the last couple of months. Let's talk about what the Trade Center was like before 9/11. O'BRIEN: But her passion is volunteering as a guide at the 9/11 Tribute Center right next to the construction site that is Ground Zero. BERKMAN: In the center, there's a plaza with a golden globe. That plaza, people used it not only as a pedestrian mall, but they had their lunches there. Grief makes a hole in your heart, and you have a choice of what you want to do with that space. Two hundred and fifty of the three hundred and forty-three firefighter names that are on here were guys that I had worked with. I miss them every day. O'BRIEN: Brenda shows visitors artifacts pulled from the rubble, photographs of those who died. BERKMAN: Henry Miller was in Ladder 105 with me when I was... O'BRIEN: Even today, the question lingers, How do you fill this void? (on camera): Is it possible to remember everybody in a way that everyone will be happy? BERKMAN: Probably not. O'BRIEN (voice-over): Ground Zero is a graveyard where 2,753 people died. More than 3,000 children lost a parent in the attacks. For 10 years, the drive to rebuild these 16 acres for the future has run head on into the desire to honor the dead. There were angry words over building offices on the footprints of the towers where people died. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Politics and economic agendas are destroying this sacred site! O'BRIEN: The positioning of the names of the dead caused rancor. BERKMAN: People are angry about all kinds of things. O'BRIEN (on camera): What are you angry about? BERKMAN: What am I angry about? You know, just the fact that it happened. BONNIE GIEBFRIED, FMR. EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN: This is -- my happy little tomato plants. I'm averaging two to six a week, seeing doctors. O'BRIEN (voice-over): There are also survivors, like Bonnie Giebfried, who are afraid to return to Ground Zero. She sustained serious injuries in the attack. GIEBFRIED: None of us should have walked out of what we walked out of. After being buried alive not once, but twice, I have my days where I'm very angry. O'BRIEN (on camera): Frustrated? GIEBFRIED: I'm very frustrated, yes. O'BRIEN: Sad about it? GIEBFRIED: I'm very sad. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: But he wasn't that big when he passed away because... GIEBFRIED: I continue to work on moving forward, to not be retraumatized, retriggered. MICHAEL ARAD, ARCHITECT: As you'll see, a lot of the site is still under construction. Memorial Plaza starts right here, and you can see these trees and that bowl (ph) up there. O'BRIEN: Architect Michael Arad won the competition to design an outdoor memorial. ARAD: It's been so hard to make this both a significant memorial ground but also have a place where the office workers who are here already and who will be in these new towers, where they'll come down here and sit on a bench and have lunch. O'BRIEN: The footprints of the destroyed towers are now below- ground waterfalls. The family of the dead got to request where their names would be placed. ARAD: So what looks like a random array of names is, in fact, the fruit of this collaboration with family members. O'BRIEN: Trees, walkways and a museum separate places to remember from the office space being built. Brenda's first glimpse of the memorial grounds moved her. (on camera): When you look out and see construction this way and a memorial almost done over there, what do you think? BERKMAN: Fantastic. I can hardly wait to be able to walk through those trees and see those fountains and touch them. O'BRIEN: Why is that so important? BERKMAN: Because those were my friends, you know? And my co- workers. And finally, finally, they're going to have a beautiful remembrance of their sacrifice and I'll be able to go pay my respects. O'BRIEN: Bonnie Giebfried needs no reminder. She is still living the tragedy of Ground Zero. GIEBFRIED: I was buried alive down at Ground Zero, and I'm now buried alive by paperwork. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) SUSAN HENDRICKS, HLN ANCHOR: Hi there. I'm Susan Hendricks. Here's what's now in the news. President Obama spent this Labor Day in Detroit rallying union supporters. He told the crowd it is time for Washington games to be over. Obama will unveil a jobs' plan in his speech to Congress on Thursday. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I don't want to give everything away right here because I want you all to tune in on Thursday. But I'll you just a little bit. (CHEERS) We've got roads and bridges across this country that need rebuilding. We've got private companies with the equipment and man power to do the building. We've got more than one million unemployed construction workers ready to get dirty right now. (END VIDEO CLIP) HENDRICKS: Meanwhile, five GOP presidential hopefuls attended a candidate forum in South Carolina. The event was hosted by Senator Jim DeMint, a leader in the Tea Party movement. Texas Governor Rick Perry was supposed to take part in that forum. Instead he headed home to deal with dozens of wildfires burning in his state. Strong winds from tropical storm Lee made matter worse for fire crews. Near Austin, Texas, 25,000 acres and almost 500 homes have been destroyed in one fire zone that is zero percent contained. In another blaze, a mother and her 18-month-old baby were killed when flames engulfed their homes. The remnants of tropical storm Lee caused a stormy labor day across the southeast. One person died in floodwaters in Mississippi. A teenage boy is policing off the coast of Alabama. In Georgia, the storm knocked out power to about 20,000 customers, about half of them around Atlanta, where possible tornados were reported. And hurricane Katia is now a category four storm with maximum winds of 135 miles per hour. The storm is so far out in the Atlantic forecasters expect rip currents along the U.S. East Coast. Now back to "Beyond Bravery -- The Women of 9/11." (MUSIC) BONNIE GIEBFRIED, 9/11 FIRST RESPONDER: The next thing we knew, all the debris, all you heard was, you know, things banging against the building, and everything went dark. O'BRIEN: Emergency medical technician Bonnie Giebfried was at the World Trade Center beneath the buildings when they collapsed. GIEBFRIED: We were buried alive. We were buried, they said, four stories under. And breathing was getting worse and worse and worse and we were suffocating. We were literally starting to die. My name is Bonnie Jane Giebfried. I was an EMT on 9/11. This is my pro air. O'BRIEN: Bonnie didn't inhale her last breath on September 11th, but she hadn't been able to breathe easy since. (on camera) What was your medical diagnosis from 9/11? GIEBFRIED: I have multiple chemical sensitivity. I have asthma. I have gerd. I have reactive airway disease. My left size, thumb, wrist, elbow have all been reconstructed. I need further surgeries. O'BRIEN: Have any of those things improved in the last 10 years? GIEBFRIED: I still have them, 10 years later. Ten years later. It doesn't go away. O'BRIEN (voice-over): She spent hours buried in the toxic dust, just like thousands of other first responders. GIEBFRIED: Off to the doctors now. O'BRIEN: An estimated 80 percent of first responders rarely, if ever, wore masks that day. GIEBFRIED: Yesterday I had a really bad bout with the asthma because of the humidity. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Right. Let me just -- O'BRIEN: Bonnie stopped working just months short of qualifying for a pension or health care coverage. GIEBFRIED: It just became a nightmare because my body was breaking down quicker than I could actually physically and mentally recoup. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I want to feel your stomach because of the pain. O'BRIEN: Today she struggles to pay bills on Social Security disability and worker's compensation. GIEBFRIED: My health just increasingly deteriorated and deteriorated and -- UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Sounds good today. GIEBFRIED: I really thought that not only my job, but the fire department of New York was going to back us, that the government was going to back us, that my union was going to back us. And to this day that's not a reality. O'BRIEN: And 53,000 people across the country have been screened for 9/11-related health problems. Last year, 15,000 responders received treatment through the World Trade Center Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program, cofounded by Dr. Benjamin Luft (ph). (on camera) How do you treat someone like Bonnie. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There's a lot of physical problems bonnie has and they need to be attended to. But at the same time, there's a tremendous amount of attention that has to be made to her psychological and social issues. GIEBFRIED: People say, oh, you're mental, you know. You're losing your mind. I really thought I was losing my mind until I learned the dynamics of what happens with posttraumatic stress. O'BRIEN (voice-over): There are also people like retired police sergeant Carey Policastro whose health remains uncertain. She was among the 40,000 people who worked at the site in the weeks after the attacks. CAREY POLICASTRO, RETIRED POLICE SERGEANT: You have a lot of people who are terminally ill. I have a couple of no nodules in my lung. So far everything is fine, but I don't want what will happen 10 years from now. O'BRIEN (on camera): Who are these guys in the front? They are the squad leaders. POLICASTRO: The squad leaders are in front. The wind changed direction. O'BRIEN (voice-over): She now trains today's first responders. POLICASTRO: What I saw is I saw you bring your squad leaders out and briefed them. O'BRIEN: Even as she worries about her own future. (on camera) Where do you think we are 10 years later? What have been the ramifications of that day? POLICASTRO: There's a lot of health issues not being addressed. There's a lot of people getting sick that aren't receiving the treatment and care that they deserve and need. O'BRIEN: As of June, 2010, 345 responders have died of cancer. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We haven't been able to say with certainty whether cancer occurred as a result of 9/11. O'BRIEN: There were cancer-causing compounds, Benzine, dioxin, and asbestos, found in the debris. In 2001, then EPA administrator Christine Todd Whitman, said the air was safe. CHRISTINE TODD WHITMAN, FORMER EPA ADMINISTRATOR: Everything we tested for, which includes asbestos, lead, and DOCs have been below any level of concern for the general public health. O'BRIEN: But the public wasn't completely convinced. After a decade of fighting, some relief. This year Congress allocated $4.3 billion for treatment and services for the survivors of 9/11, but not covering cancer. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg fought for the law. MICHAEL BLOOMBERG, (I) NEW YORK CITY MAYOR: I'm addressing the 9/11 health care effects as a national duty and we're glad and grateful Congress has recognized this and is fulfilling its obligation to the thousands of responders, office workers, and residents who continue to suffer. GIEBFRIED: I was buried alive at ground zero. And I'm now buried alive by paperwork. O'BRIEN: Bonnie says her illnesses consume her life. (on camera) So it's harder to get better if you're still grappling with the psychological trauma of 9/11? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's right. It works almost like a cycle. And if you can't work on both those issues simultaneously, you can't break the cycle. O'BRIEN: When does it end for you? I mean, if we're having this conversation in 10 years, are you better? Or is it 15 years? Or is it the 25th anniversary? When are you better? GIEBFRIED: I can't think about it. I have to deal with right here, right now, one day at a time, one thing at a time, because you don't know what tomorrow is going to bring. O'BRIEN: Carey Policastro worries what tomorrow will bring. She's training for the next attack. POLICASTRO: They're going to try to hit us again. I think it's just a matter of when. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) POLICASTRO: I was flying home on an airplane. And they grounded all the airplanes, so I wasn't able to come home. I was completely devastated that I couldn't be at home helping the people that I swore to serve. O'BRIEN: Police Sergeant Carey Policastro finally got on a plane to New York three days later. POLICASTRO: And I went from Kennedy airport right down to ground zero. I was overwhelmed, totally devastated to actually see it and smell it and taste it and be down there and realize how large it was. My name is Carey Policastro, and I'm a retired sergeant from the New York City police department. O'BRIEN: A decade later -- POLICASTRO: Yellow squad post your squad. O'BRIEN: She's preparing for the next attack. POLICASTRO: Move! We can't sit down and let them walk all over us. We have to stand up for our rights. That's what makes America great. O'BRIEN: About once a month she travels to Aniston, Alabama, to train police officers from around the world at the Center for Domestic Preparedness. POLICASTRO: I don't think another attack on the U.S. is "if." I think it's a matter of "when." O'BRIEN: Carey teaches riot and crowd control, bringing 20 years of policing experience to her students. POLICASTRO: This is the world that we live in. Right, wrong, indifferent, good and bad, we still have to be secure. We have to be safe. As a police officer and a public safety officer, that's my responsibility. O'BRIEN: The number of women training here has risen from just seven percent in 2000, to 22 percent today. Carey says the lessons of ground zero are always in her head. POLICASTRO: Certain things are just as raw as they were on that particular day. When you go down there and you are physically there, it shakes you to your core. You're right. You're reliving the moment. O'BRIEN: The first responders back on September 11th were acting on instinct and basic training. Like the woman who saved Marty Glynn. (on camera) Where were you? MARTIN GLYNN, SAVED BY MOIRA SMITH: I was in the south tower. We were on 84. O'BRIEN (voice-over): Then he saw police officer Moira Smith. GLYNN: We exited this area and there was a ramp leading to the escalator down where they were evacuating. So at the end of the ramp, Moira was standing there with her flashlight. She was pointing down the escalator stairs saying "Keep moving. Don't look. Keep moving." O'BRIEN: Moira saved dozens of life by refusing to panic when face with the unexpected. GLYNN: We all of a sudden felt calm. We felt like she had it under control. It almost seemed like a fire drill. O'BRIEN: Teaching new skills is critical for today's first responders. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You know your name? O'BRIEN: Before 9/11, the Center for Domestic Preparedness trained 2,500 students a year. Now they train 100,000. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There's three sets of gloves they have on there. POLICASTRO: Rick Dickson (ph) is the assistant director for training delivery. He's been here since the center opened in 1998. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They're learning how to respond to terrorist attacks or attacks that involve chemical agents or biological agents, radiological threats, improvised explosive devices. They're learning how to protect the community so there's some prevention element. O'BRIEN (on camera): And the students who are here, what do they do in their real jobs when they were all not students here? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Their daily lives, they are riding in police cars or ambulances, working in hospitals, emergency managers, preparing for what could be a very bad scenario. O'BRIEN: That prevention starts here at the Department of Homeland Security's National Operations Center where threats, conditions, and activities across the United States are monitored 24/7. JANET NAPOLITANO, HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY : If you look at what happened on 9/11, and you look at what we do now, that kind of conspiracy would be very difficult, if not totally impossible to successfully accomplish now. There are no guarantees. But are we maximizing our ability to prevent a large-scale plot from ever occurring again on American soil? We're doing everything we can to do that. O'BRIEN: The Center for Domestic Preparedness is part of that mission. This is the only facility where civilians train with live toxic agents. Instructors need to prepare students for every possible scenario. POLICASTRO: It's about awareness. We all need to work together. I've met hundreds, thousands of police officers and they know they can call me and I can call them. O'BRIEN: These patients played by actors, are walking into the emergency room after an explosion. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Please, somebody help me! DICKSON: So when this hits them and they're own hometowns, whatever it may be, they're not thinking about what they do. They're reacting based on training. POLICASTRO: Things are fluid and things keep happening. O'BRIEN: That training and the threat of another attack are why Carey Policastro is here. POLICASTRO: This is in our backyard right now. This is not something that's happening in another country. We've never seen an attack like this before prior to 9/11. We had the 1993 bombing of the Trade Center, which a lot of people forgot about. And unfortunately, I think a lot of people are forgetting about 9/11, too. O'BRIEN (on camera): You think so? POLICASTRO: Absolutely. I think it was 10 years. So yes, I do. I think people are forgetting about it. O'BRIEN (voice-over): Marty Glynn is certain he will never forget the woman who saved his life. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) JIM SMITH, HUSBAND OF MOIRA SMITH: This was a phone call and it was from my sister. She told me that they were at the World Trade Center. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I was on the street. I don't have much air. Please, help me. O'BRIEN: Officer Moira Smith was evacuating people from the burning buildings. SMITH: As I was driving in, approaching the Midtown Tunnel, I saw the building collapse. And that's the first time I got scared. My name's Jim Smith. I'm a retired New York City police officer and husband of police officer Moira Smith who was killed on 9/11. Today we're in the first became of the championship for the little league. O'BRIEN: Jim and Moira's daughter Patricia is now 12 years old. She's is the captain of her softball team and a straight-A student. SMITH: Moira loved to play softball. We used to say she had two speeds -- slow and stop. Patricia is fast and she's a lot more athletic. But other aspects she takes after her mom, always smiling, cheering everybody on, the not giving up. Patricia is a fighter. She has her mom's spirit there. Obviously, you know, as a little girl, we just kept it simple. It wasn't like we told her that, you know, Moira died. But we explained to her that she wouldn't be coming back and that she was helping people in heaven. O'BRIEN: After saving the man in this picture, Moira Smith ran back inside to rejoin the rescue. She was killed in the collapse of the South Tower. For her bravery, New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani posthumously presented Moira the New York Police Department's medal of honor. SMITH: I remember getting Patricia dressed that morning in her red dress and putting the bow in her hair and black patent leather shoes. And she was brave. She walked right up on the stage and got the medal from the mayor. For months people searched the rubble for the missing. Then on the first day of spring in 2002 Moira's body was found. She was laid to rest, but her bravery became immortal. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Jim, Patricia, please join us at the podium. (APPLAUSE) O'BRIEN: Every year, Jim and the New York Police Reserve Association -- UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This grant is for $3,750. (APPLAUSE) O'BRIEN: -- gives scholarships to young women in Moira's name. SMITH: It's a way for Moira to make a difference in people's lives. O'BRIEN: Jim brings Patricia to almost every event. SMITH: Patricia wants to have something from her mother that she can hold onto, and I think that's a huge thing, you know, her heroism as a woman and as a police officer. SMITH: She's always giving you a big kiss. PATRICIA SMITH, DAUGHTER OF MOIRA SMITH: At first I was a sad. Her being a hero is a great thing. But the reason she became a hero was she had to die to become a hero. But as I just kept getting older I realized that it happened for a reason. O'BRIEN: One of the people Moira saved was Marty Glynn. GLYNN: I was sitting there when the second plane hit. O'BRIEN: Marty was evacuating from the 84th floor from the south tower on 9/11. GLYNN: I got to the end of the ramp and I was standing directly in front of Moira. All is sudden her voice turned very intense. She said, "Don't look, don't look." That moment when we had this intense eye contact I knew she knew the danger we were in. We were all aware of what was going on. And her demeanor and her calm disposition in that's of this danger is what gave everybody the confidence to evacuate the building. O'BRIEN (on camera): When you look back on that day, how do you see it? GLYNN: I'm very thankful for all of the things I've been able to enjoy. I've had a very, very good life in the meantime. My sons got married. I have one grandson. I got another one due in the next day or two. SMITH: I choose to remember Moira by looking at Patricia. I love the boats and parks and streets named after her. I think that's a great honor. But there's no bigger reward than to raise Patricia to be a good person. POLICASTRO: People have turned such an awful event into something where they make a difference in today's world. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What I've learned I pass on and make sure that no man or woman is left behind. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I want to be the person that people remember as, hey, you know, she did the right thing. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It could have been me. If I'm still here, I need to serve a purpose. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I am hopeful that what I can do with the rest of my life is spend it in a way that creates peace, that I can continue to try to make the world a better place.

However, > MOST of the energy of this list is devoted to HPC -- numerical > computations and applications. > ... > Nevertheless, databases per se are not numerical HPC, and a cluster > built to do SQL transactions on a collective shared database is not > properly called a "beowulf" yes, but I still have a feeling that you are trying to squeeze _numerical_ to definition of beowulf which would be a pity because there are problems with _numerical/symbolic_ mix best solved on exactly the same type of hardware as the _numerical_ ones. I hope these can live on this list as well, unless cooling the FPU portion of the chip bacames the main topic here :-)) OK, I do confess that I do pursue my selfish goals because my problems are numerical/symbolic mix :-) And no, I do not use SQL databases for them. However I know people who do misuse SQL databases this way (in the similar manner we lazy people waste computer power with perl or Matlab) and who could make easy progress by MPI implementing very very limited subset of SQL, just enough to run those stupid select()s found in their code. But I repeat, normal SQL databases are mostly out of topic here, no doubt. Best Regards Vaclav Hanzl

Actress Brooke Shields has publicly paid tribute to her mother following her death at the age of 79 last week.
Actress and model Teri Shields, who guided her daughter to fame as a child star, passed away in New York City last Wednesday after a long battle with illness, reportedly stemming from her struggle with dementia.
The actress' relationship with her mother allegedly became strained in the 1990s, but they reconnected in recent years, and Brooke has now spoken out about the her loss.
In a statement, she writes, "My mother was an enormous part of my life and of who I am today. I loved her, laughed with her, and respected her. And although she had her share of struggles, she was my mom."

LAS VEGAS — Vanes Martirosyan and Erislandy Lara's rivalry started as a war of words and, unfortunately for the aspirations of both fighters and fans in attendance at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas Saturday night, the first meeting between the two rising light middleweight stars ended as little more.
The anticlimax of the HBO "Boxing After Dark" World Boxing Council light middleweight title eliminator saw both fighters trading insults, barbs and boasts through a microphone, over a chorus of boos, of what they would have done if only the main-event fight had been allowed to run its 12-round course.
That ceased to be a possibility when Martirosyan's left eye was split wide open by an accidental head butt from the Cuban southpaw with 29 seconds elapsed in the ninth round and the decision went to the judges' score cards. The development was met with no small voice of displeasure from the crowd, but that reaction paled in comparison to the collective groan that went up when a technical draw was announced.
"I feel great," Martirosyan (32-0-1, 20 KOs), a Glendale resident, told HBO interviewer Max Kellerman in the ring following the decision. "It sucks about the head butt. Our plan was to come on later on because he gets tired. The last round I kind of took off and wanted to finish strong, but unfortunately the head butt happened."
In addition to providing Martirosyan with the first blemish on his pro record, and furthering Lara's reputation as a fighter who can't get the benefit of the doubt from the judges when a big fight is on the line, there is now no clear No. 1 contender for the WBC belt held by Saul Alvarez, who was mandated by the WBC to fight the winner of Saturday's fight.
Both fighters expressed a desire for a prompt rematch.
"One-hundred percent," Martirosyan said of fighting Lara (17-1-2, 11 KOs) again. "As soon as the stitches come out, I'm going to rematch."
Judge Jerry Roth scored the fight, 86-85, in favor of Martirosyan, Ricardo Ocasio had it 87-84 for Lara and Dave Moretti failed to break the deadlock when he called it an even draw. The News-Press had the fight scored 76-76 in favor of Martirosyan heading into the ninth round.
"We can continue it right now," Lara said to Kellerman. "In the final few rounds, I was going to hit him and he was going down."
Both fighters had each done their fair share of hyping the animosity in the run up to the fight, with Martirosyan baiting Lara with verbal insults in the media and Lara shoving Martirosyan after the two exchanged words at Friday's weigh-in.
But early in the fight, Martirosyan tried to box from the middle of the ring and keep Lara at a mid-range distance while working his jab and straight right. Martirosyan opened up with some effective combos, but early on it was Lara landing more punches, although he would quickly retreat from each attack.
Both fighters were warned be referee Jay Nady early in the third after getting tangled up and Lara began to have some success with his jab as Martirosyan was forced into some awkward lunging counter-punches.
In the fourth round, Martirosyan was caught with a low blow and went down to both knees wincing in pain.
"He's kind of a dirty fighter," Martirosyan said. "[He hit me with] a couple low blows, he keeps coming in with his head, he's good with stuff like that."
The shot drew an admonishment from Nady, but no deduction, although it seemed to invigorate Martirosyan into closing the round strong.
"He said I'm not a good fighter, but they have never taken a point from me in my entire life," Lara said.
Lara came out quickly in the fifth with a clean combo before Martirosyan drove him back into a corner and connected with a flurry of punches. Martirosyan was no longer chasing Lara around the ring, instead working angles to cut off his retreat against the ropes and trying to set him up for straight rights.
Lara had a cut under his left eye by the early stages of the seventh round, but won the round when he began to successfully counter Martirosyan's misses with shots of his own.
"Vanes is a great fighter, but I hit him with everything that I wanted to," Lara said.
Lara seemed to be hurt by a body-to-head combo from Martirosyan early in the eighth round.
"It was a close fight, but he ran all night," Martirosyan said. "This is not the amateurs, this is the professionals and he was running all night."
"[Trainer] Freddie [Roach] was telling me to keep pressing the action, keep putting pressure on him. He was running all night, it was tough to catch him. He's good for the amateurs, getting points and running, that's all he was doing."

The Goat, The Sofa And Mr Swami – R Chandrasekhar
If you have not read this book, you have missed a masterpiece. This is one of the best satires that I've ever read. The story follows Swami – the secretary of the Indian Prime-Minister (a horny octogenarian) and his efforts to keep his job by keeping the coalition afloat in the face of the impeding visit of the Pakistan's Premier.
This book is a must read. It has a lot of shades of "Yes Minister" or the Indian version "Ji Mantriji" and is equally hilarious.
Rating: 4.5/5
Sh*t My Dad Says – Justin Halpern
Now this is one book whose title speaks volumes about the content. It is exactly what the title says – the author moves back with his father and his 74 year old father provides him with life lessons in a unique manner. Sample this: "That woman was sexy… Out of your league? Son, let women figure out why they won't screw you. Don't do it for them." and there are many more similar gems strewn around the book.
A book which originated from a twitter account @shitmydadsays. A very enjoyable read.
Rating: 3.5/5
I have been a fan of Samit Basu's writing ever since reading the Gameworld Trilogy and Terror on the Titanic, and hence I had very high expectations of this book. I was hoping for that same combination of dark humour with generous doses of fantasy. While fantasy was present in abundance, I missed the dark humour in the book, but then that is just fan speak. That did not take away anything from this excellent book. This was one such book which I wanted to pick up as soon as I had read the blurb.
This is an excerpt from the review I wrote for India Book Store's book review site.
Read the complete book review.

This is an illustration that shows that Humans have a place among color changing animals. Everyone knows that chameleons can change color with mood or environmental influences, but not everyone knows that frogs, cephalopods, and sea horses also change color; most usually have a brown phase and a bright phase. I also wanted to show a group that enjoys the beach in different ways. I have the process listed below.
First is a rough sketch. I wanted to figure out the order of the animals and how they would fit together in a composition. I also started some loose character design.
Next I drew the line work with pencil. Then I redrew each character, on separate layers in PhotoShop, with my Wacom tablet. I did this so I could easily alter or switch each characters position.
Next I finished some line work and added texture. I framed everything with a oval vignette to give it an old time feel. I also made the texture and line one color so it could be screen-printed. My intention, if this went onto a t-shirt, is that the color would be UV ink that would be invisible indoors but bright and vibrant outdoors. Hence the title, Fun in the Sun. This image (above) is how it would look indoors and the top image is how it would look outside.
On a side note, the chameleon has the Hemingway book The Sun Also Rises. Also I submitted this design as part of a Threadless challenge called "Threadwars," and I was not aloud to promote it on my blog until the round was over. I am happy to report this was my highest scoring submission on Threadless to date.

VIDEO: Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavs agree on a new three-year contract
LAS VEGAS — To put into perspective the magnitude of Dirk Nowitzki's pay cut, consider this: He'll make in the next three seasons what Kobe Bryant is charging the Lakers for just next season.
It's a big reason why the Dallas Mavericks could be back in the conversation as a top-four contender in the Western Conference while the talent-depleted Los Angeles Lakers are more likely to miss the playoffs for a second consecutive season. That hasn't happened since 1976.
Bryant signed a two-year, $48.5 million extension last year. Nowitzki signed an exceedingly below-market-value deal of three years and $25 million earlier this week. The total is even less than than the three years and $30 million he was initially believed to be signing.
When the Mavs convene for training camp in October, the league's all-time 10th-leading scorer and the franchise's leading scorer in every season since 2000, will be Dallas' fourth-highest paid player.
"It's just the kind of human being he is. He's all about winning; he's all about championships," Mavs president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said Wednesday as he watched Dallas' Summer League team take on Charlotte. "He's one of the most selfless superstars that have ever played in the NBA, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to bring another parade to Dallas.
"He understood that we needed flexibility in order to get the team better. He's part of the tapestry of the city of Dallas. He's really a made man in a lot respects if you think about all the superstars that have come through in all the sports, in terms of basketball it doesn't get any better than Dirk. He just made a decision to end his career there. Hopefully we can tag another contract on to that."
By agreeing to go from making $22.7 million last season to $7.97 million this season, Nowitzki provided the Mavs front office with the financial ammunition to deliver a three-year, $46-million offer sheet to Rockets restricted free agent small forward Chandler Parsons.
"The one consistent from Day 1 is Dirk," Nelson said. "We're not in position this summer to be as active as we are without him taking a fairly major pay cut and being a team player."
Houston eventually did not match the contract and the Mavs acquired much-needed youth and talent in the 25-year-old Chandler. He joins a front line that includes Nowitzki and also 7-foot-1 center Tyson Chandler, whom the Mavs acquired in a trade before the start of free agency.
Chandler, on the final year of a four-year, $60 million deal he signed with the Knicks following Dallas' 2011 championship, will be the Mavs' highest-paid player at $14.8 million. Parsons is right behind him at $14.7 million. Shooting guard Monta Ellis will make $8.36 million.
To bring this back to the Lakers, power forward Jordan Hill will make $1 million more than Nowitzki next season.
In each of the last three summers, Dallas has tried to lure a max free agent to pair with Nowitzki in his final seasons and then to take the mantle once the big German finally calls it a career. That plan hasn't worked out and since winning the title in 2011, owner Mark Cuban has continually flipped the roster. They were bounced in the first round of their title defense, missed the playoffs in 2012-13 and then won 49 games last season and took the Spurs to seven games in the first round.
The organization talked of continuity, but when the chance arose to reclaim Chandler from the Knicks, they sent starters Jose Calderon and Samuel Dalembert to New York. Dallas lost Vince Carter to Memphis and appears on the verge of losing veteran small forward Shawn Marion, the last player left along with Nowitzki from the title team. Point guard Raymond Felton came to Dallas in the Chandler trade and will tag team with Devin Harris.
Dallas also signed veteran Richard Jefferson and depth center Greg Smith, and it still has a $2.73 million exception and a minimum salary slot to fill. The Mavs didn't get the big fish again, but with the help of their longtime superstar taking not only a haircut, but a buzzcut, they've remade the roster yet again, and this time might have pulled themselves back into contention.
"It's always been that way," Nelson said. "Dirk is part of the Mavs family, and he and Mark have had a special, unique, honest and forthcoming relationship since Mark has owned the team. He's probably the biggest reasons we've had 15 years of great chemistry in the locker room. We haven't been without our speed bumps, but for the most part we've had a really good team atmosphere and it starts from the top with Dirk in the locker room, Mark from a franchise perspective and you have the best coach in the game in Rick Carlisle."

It's still about efficiency. Farmers have rarely felt the pinch of rapidly escalating costs and stagnant or falling commodity prices more sharply than now as they harvest 2005 crops and begin planning for 2006.
Heading the list of concerns will be high diesel prices, up $1 or more per gallon from this time last year.
John Deere hopes a new line of more fuel-efficient tractors will take some of the pinch out of that cost/price squeeze.
"We are the only major equipment manufacturer in the agricultural sector to offer a line of tractors with a 2 percent to 5 percent reduction in fuel burn," says Shan Prendergast, John Deere manager of information and training services.
Prendergast, at a recent John Deere dealer conference in Fort Worth, Texas, where dealers from across North America got a first look at the company's new 8030 series of tractors and other new equipment, said fuel efficiency will be a key for growers in 2006.
Ron Schwertner, division manager for marketing, says the increased fuel efficiency (compared to the 8020 line being replaced) comes with increased horsepower. The top of the line model, 8530, provides 275 horsepower (PTO) up by 20 HP from the 8520 it replaces.
"The 8530 is the most powerful row crop tractor ever," Schwertner says.
Other units also increase horsepower over their predecessors. The 8430, at 250 HP, gains 15 HP over the 8420; the 8330 increases to 225 over the 8320's 215. The 8230, at 200 HP, is 10 better than the 8220 and the 8130, at 180 HP is 10 horses stronger than the 8120.
Three new track units, the 8430T (255 HP), the 8330T (235 HP), and the 8230T (200 HP) also add horsepower over the tractors they replace.
Schwertner says a larger engine, the PowerTech Plus 9.0L, coupled with a 16-speed PowerShift Transmission, provides both increased power and better fuel efficiency because of new designs and integrated systems that improve functionality of hydraulics, rear differential and the cooling system, among other advances.
"The Vari-Cool system allows us to meet new EPA Tier 3 standards (required by January, 2006)," he says.
Schwertner says fuel efficiency increases even more with the optional Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT).
The IVT adds from 0 percent to 3 percent increased fuel efficiency in heavy load situations, such as ripping. With medium loads, 65 percent to 75 percent of maximum, such as heavy cultivation, the IVT increases fuel efficiency by 3 percent to 5 percent. At light loads, 15 percent to 35 percent as in light transporting, fuel efficiency improves by 5 percent to 10 percent.
"Those improvements are on top of the 2 percent to 5 percent we get with the new engine and the PowerShift transmission," Schwertner says.
The (IVT) features a right-hand reverser and is base equipment on the 8530 tractor, optional on other 8030 Series wheel tractors, says Cory Reed, factory marketing manager, Waterloo Tractor Works.
"This transmission, a John Deere design, offers smooth, seamless shifts without clutching and unlimited speed choices from .03 to 26 miles per hour. An optional left-hand reverser is available to meet differing customer needs and to enhance overall operation of the IVT.
"With more power, improved engine response, and up to a 43 percent PTO torque rise, the operator will get more efficient performance from these engines. They're designed to produce higher torque at lower engine speeds, and this means better fuel economy in the field."
The Vari-Cool system also plays a key role in fuel efficiency. The mechanical-type fan runs only at the necessary speed to meet the cooling requirements of the tractor. This variable speed design allows for greater efficiency in fuel and power.
"By designing our own engines, cooling systems, and other tractor elements," says Reed, "we can provide integrated technology to reach unprecedented efficiency levels."
Other new features for the 8030 series include:
• An improved CommandView, quieter cab.
• Optional ActiveSeat suspension system.
• Improved CommandCenter.
• Category 4 Narrow Three-Point Hitch with a convertible Category 4 Narrow (convertible to Category 3) Quick Coupler.
• A new hydraulic system. • 180-gallon fuel tank.
Also, GreenStar Display (GSD) 2100 or 2600 color monitors show critical tractor functions and operator guidance systems such as GreenStar AutoTrac.
Schwertner says the CommandCenter and the GreenStar system improve driver control and tractor efficiency.
"We are excited about our new lines," says John Lageman, vice president of sales for the United States and Canada. "Dealers are enthusiastic about these tractors, which are replacing the 20 series that brought the most customer satisfaction ever."

Tran Thi Huong Trang from Vietnam, one of the winners of this year's Alexandre Kiss Environmental Law Papers Award, sponsored by the Commission on Environmental Law, was visiting the Environmental Law Centre in Bonn in early November.
As winner of the second prize for her paper 'Legislation on Genetic Resources Conservation in Vietnam', she had been awarded a ten-day internship at the ELC. There, she had the opportunity to meet with the legal officers and discuss a broad range of issues relating to biodiversity conservation, climate change and energy, sustainable use of natural resources, invasive alien species, the marine area, trade and environment, species conservation and CITES. Tran said that the ten days in the ELC were very meaningful for her: "It is a great source of encouragement for a young environmental lawyer like me, to make every effort to pursue a career in the development of environmental law. After ten days, the biggest attainment for me is that I realize my vision has changed. It has broadened and deepened. I learned more about new issues of international environmental law which need further research for development. I met outstanding people in the ELC, from whom I could learn new ways to solve problems and who shared with me their experience and profound knowledge."

Who: Ballet Nouveau Colorado
When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday and Nov. 9 and 10, 2 p.m. Sunday and Nov. 11.
Where: This week at PACE Center, Parker Arts, Culture & Events, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave. Next week at Performing Arts Complex at Pinnacle Charter School, 1001 W. 84th Ave.
Tickets: $19 to $47.
Information: bncdance.com or 303-466-5685
Its most successful show last year -- and possibly ever -- was the collaboration "Carry On" with popular local band Paper Bird, which after premiering at the 316-seat Lakewood Cultural Center did an encore at the 2,200-seat Ellie Caulkins Opera House in downtown Denver. As Ray Mark Rinaldi wrote in the Denver Post, usually a troupe will "present its 'world premiere' with a splash, then the routine disappears into the repertoire, never to be danced again. But Ballet Nouveau Colorado's 'Carry On' just keeps getting bigger."
So it its no surprise all three of the Broomfield-based dance company's 11th season productions will include live music. The season opener, "A Dangerous Liaison," pairs the dance troupe with the Baroque Chamber Orchestra, a group that plays music from the period on the same instruments they would have used 400 years ago. (The second production in February is another encore of "Carry On" and it will collaborate with the Colorado Symphony in April for "Perpetual Beauty.")
Having live music with every show was always part of the plan, but it took a while to realize that goal, according to BNC artistic director Garrett Ammon.
For "A Dangerous Liaison," company dancer Sarah Tallman choreographs "In Between Seams" to the music of Antonio Vivaldi and Ammon will choreograph "For Pity's Sake, My Love," a humorous take on the music of Giuseppe Tartini.
Despite the authenticity of the orchestra's approach to music, this will be BNC's traditional non-traditional ballet.
"It's intriguing kind of collaboration for that reason," said orchestra artistic director Frank Nowell. "Even though we use historical instruments and historical practices, we bring the music alive for today."
What both he and Ammon found surprising was how much the two groups had in common. Art throughout time has been about expressing human emotion.
"Even though the music is quite old, the music speaks to something contemporary," Nowell said.
One of the first things they decided was not to use any Baroque dance music.
"With Baroque dances, there was a very established way those were performed in those days," Nowell said.
Ammon said "contemporary dance has the freedom" to bring out the complexity -- particularly all the textures of the string instruments -- in a way classical dance can not.
What Nowell also finds intriguing is that Baroque musicians tended to improvise -- a lost art among contemporary orchestras. So, the choreographers have worked in areas where they have some freedom to "move" so to speak.
Having stepped in on some rehearsals, Nowell has been pleasantly surprised by what the dancers have found in the pieces.
"I'm really proud of it," Ammon said. "If you haven't had a chance to see BNC before, you should come to this one."

PELHAM, N.Y. - The MIT heavyweight men traveled to New York last weekend to face Columbia University and Holy Cross in the annual race for the Alumni Cup. Columbia won the early-season regatta while securing a victory in the varsity eight for the third consecutive year.
On a beautiful but blustery day, the Engineers continued their 2008 spring campaign with a strong showing against EARC league competitors Columbia and Holy Cross. MIT's varsity boat finished behind Columbia but enjoyed a good battle with Holy Cross before putting the Crusaders away in the last 1000 meters.
The varsity eight broke the tape with a time of 6:14.5 as Holy Cross closed in 6:16.4. Tech finished 13 seconds behind Columbia.
MIT's freshman boat had a strong race against Columbia as both boats moved decisively away from Holy Cross. However, the Engineers came up two seconds short, finishing in a time of 6:18.4. Columbia crossed the line in 6:16.5 to snag the win, while Holy Cross rounded out the race in 6:25.9.
Tech defends their Donahue Cup title next weekend, squaring off against Williams, WPI and Connecticut College.

pardon me whilst i dream a good thought.....
* tony drifts off to memories of past,.....
as a nice warm and toasty kelloggs poptart with cinnamon and brown sugar gets flooded with savory butter
.... somewhere in a remote mountain village... with the snow gently falling... near a warm burning fire stove... as the smell of hot iron and black coffee color the scene... next to an old knarly pine tree... alongside a frigid creek.*
sigh....* sniff sniff*.... now this is living, people!
poptarts have saved my life.... more than once.
any poptart memories out there?
as forrest gump would say....

Eltonyo, you're in very good company. Here's a NEW pop tart memory. Alton Brown just did a show on pop tarts, aka, breakfast pastries or handpies. He showed how to home make them. You'll have to check out the food network for the details. I missed all but the last several minutes.

Just seen this post. Here in the UK they've almost disappeared from stores, & quite right IMO.
They're sugar & carb laden trans fat rubbish, & the UK just doesn't want to know about them & their like. We at least are trying to do something about promoting healthy eating, especially for our children & their future health.
We see TV programmes about obesity in America & honestly we're horrified. We also have obesity, but the government is aware of the problem & is taking steps to educate & motivate people to embrace a healthier eating regime.

Ahem. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. For instance, I found this
link on the BBC
which states that the childhood obesity rate in the UK is about 10% for 6 year olds. Now on the other hand, this
lists the childhood obesity rate for US 6-11 year olds to be... 10%.
Obesity has long been recognized as a problem in the ENTIRE developed world. And the US government is just as aware of the problem as the UK government and is also working to promote healthier eating.
But let's compare snacks, shall we? How about comparing a pop tart to, oh, say a bag of Walker's crisps?
1 serving Strawberry frosted pop-tarts (from the Kellogg's web site)
5g fat, 1.5 g saturated fat. 0g trans fat.
1 serving Walker's ready salted crisps (from the Walker's web site)
8.3g fat, 0.7g saturated fat, no trans fat information listed
Neither one looks particularly healthy to me.
So until you eliminate Walker's crisps (oh, and how about Cadbury chocolates) from every Tesco, get off your high and mighty horse and don't give me any bull about pop-tarts. In the end, it's not governments that make decisions about how children eat -- it's parents.

Post subject: Ban Pop-Tarts?
I don't think that the obesity problem is entirely the fault of the Pop-Tarts (or the Walkers', honestly). I think it has more to do with an aversion to outdoor, energetic play. Kids would rather play Nintendo than go outside and play Tag. If kids are running around and, well, being kids, a Pop-Tart here or there won't hurt them.
It's been a while since I've had them, but my favorite was always the S'Mores.

I suppose this is a poptart related memory lol
I'm a big animation/cartoon enthusiast and I can remember being very excited to learn that the same cartoonist who did the 'Rejected' shorts compilation (you may know it as the 'My Spoon is too Big!' cartoon) that swept Youtube a few years ago does the poptart commercials now. His name is Don Hertzfeldt.
I remember learning that and immediately going out and buying poptarts just to have the box with his drawings on them - and, obviously, the epicness of the poptarts within.
It was a good day. I heart Don Hertzfeldt and poptarts lol

Has it been three months already?
Lindsay Lohan reportedly left rehab today upon completion of her 90-day sentence for reckless driving and giving false info to a peace officer stemming from a car crash last summer.
The actress was spotted Tuesday leaving Cliffside Malibu, where she spent a little over a month after starting the treatment process at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage in the wee hours of May 3.
She was photographed smoking a cigarette outside the facility before she hopped into an SUV and was driven away.
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan's courtroom style
She transferred to Cliffside because, as a source put it to E! News at the time, "she wanted a change."
And though she may want to avoid catching up on early reviews of The Canyons, the 27-year-old starlet is headed right back into the biz--she's guest-hosting Chelsea Lately on E! next Monday.
There is a court hearing pertaining to her case scheduled for Wednesday at 8:30 a.m., but Lohan is not required to be there.
A source tells us that, following a good-bye dinner at Cliffside, she may be staying the night at a private residence.

Shawn Marion and the Mavs have started December with two wins out of three games.
Only Chris Paul is too much as Mavericks start off December well
Posted on December 7th 2012 11:14PM
After and underwhelming November finishing with 6-10, the Mavericks have picked up the slack as the team started off December with two wins out of three games.
"Things seem to be more clicking, more plugging now, especially on offense", veteran center Chris Kaman described the Mavericks' decent output of 104.3 points per game over the first three games of December.
Coming of a win against the Chicago Bulls to finish of November, the Mavericks seemed to profit from the return of guard Darren Collison. "What Darren has been doing when he is healthy is enormous for us", forward Shawn Marion told media after the win over the Phoenix Suns yesterday. Since his return to the lineup, Collison has averaged 16 points and 8 assists as the Mavs won three ouf of this five games.
Against the Detroit Pistons Collison again shined, dishing out 9 assists and scoring 15 points as the Mavericks offense showed it's best result of the season scoring 111 points in a 86-111 blowout. Five Mavericks scored in double-figures with Detroit-native Chris Kaman leading the charge with 18. "We gave them no chance to beat us", Kaman stated afterwards as the Pistons fell to .500 (9-9) after the game.
Chris Paul is too much for Dallas
Only the Clippers prevented Dallas to start December on a three-game winning streak but the way the Clippers and their star point guard Chris Paul solved the Mavericks let no doubts about which team should have won that game. "He destroyed us single-handedly. I haven't seen somebody lighting us up like that since I am a Maverick", Shawn Marion was baffled.
Chris Paul scored a season-high 38 points and added 10 assists to secure the 15-5 Clippers a 102-128 win at home. Jamal Crawford added 30 as the Clippers outscored the Mavericks by 17 in the third to pull away. Mavericks top-scorer O.J. Mayo (23 points) also dished out five assists in only 24 minutes of action as Rick Carisle pulled out his starters with two minutes played in the fourth to rest them for the upcoming road match against Phoenix. "We know Chris Paul, we know what he can do so I think we just have to do a better job defensively and also crashing the boards", Carisle stated. The Clippers outrebounded the Mavs 55-41 with Blake Griffin pulling down 13 rebounds and adding 18 points.
"This is a top-team in the West whilst we still have to grind for being a Playoff-team with Dirk out. You can lose on the road against the Clippers", Carisle downplayed the loss.
Vince Carter revving it up. The veteran scored 20 points against Phoenix.

Resting his starters definitely paid dividends for Rick Carisle as the Mavericks showed a concentrated effort to pull away with a win from a Playoff competitor as Dallas beat Phoenix 100-93 on the road.
Vince Carter scored 20 points and Darren Collison added 21 shooting 4-7 from three point range as the Mavericks used a team effort to beat Phoenix.
The Suns had to play without starting point guard Goran Dragic who was still missing games with a broken hand. Shannon Brown did his best to fill in as he scored 15 points and showed a surprising playmaking ability with 11 assists but also lost the ball five times. Alvin Gentry did not show trust in rookie Kendall Marshall, a floor general out of UNC who only played ten minutes in the ball game.
Michael Beasley scored a team-high 19 points but saw himself well defended by Shawn Marions resulting in bad shooting numbers (5-19). Luis Scola added 17 points and 11 rebounds.
The Mavericks found their bench being a difference make with Brendan Wright pulling down a team-high 10 rebounds and veteran Derek Fisher adding a team-high six assists and hitting 2-3 from down town.
Dirk looking to be back by end of December. Jared Cunningham injures ankle

"There is no swelling anymore but right now it is important to strenghten the knee and not go out and play too early", the german forward told Mavs.com in an exclusive interview. "End of December or maybe beginn of 2013", Nowitzki outlined a comeback date.
Meanwhile Rookie Jared Cunningham injured his ankle against the Clippers and will be out for at least two weeks. Jae Crowder, who has been in the D-league for most of the season will take Cunninghams roster spot for the Mavericks.
