Farmers attending this year's Sunbelt Expo had the opportunity to hear about several new technologies during special technology update sessions sponsored by the Expo, Southern States Cooperative and Southeast Farm Presssister publication of Delta Farm Press.
One of those was the site-specific application of Telone II soil fumigant for the control of nematodes in cotton. Growers have known that Telone provides season-long control of the microscopic pests, but have been reluctant to shoulder the expense when cotton prices were low.
In this video from one of the update sessions, Matt Hoffman, Telone II product specialist with Dow AgroSciences, describes research that is demonstrating how growers can maximize cotton yields with reduced applications of Telone II.

This page should help you setting up ArchLinux on a MacBook Pro 10,1 with Retina display. Most of the steps are the same or very similar to the regular ArchLinux installation. However, because this is very new hardware, the setup requires a few different steps. The general installation guidelines are descibed in MacBook.
Preparing for the Installation
Preparing the Hard drive
Assuming you want to have a dual boot with Mac OS X, boot into Mac OS and shrink it's partition with the Disk Utility. You can either create your Linux partition directly here, or do that later in Linux during the installation (using parted and mkfs).
Getting wireless firmware
In order for the WiFi chip to work, you need to get the firmware for it. There are various ways to do so. You can juts copy it from another b43 enabled archlinux box, extract it from Broadcoms driver using b43-fwcutter or get them through the b43-firmware package[1] in AUR. In the end you should have a folder "b43" with lots of .fw files in it.
Booting the live image
Now, download the latest Archboot iso, write it to USB and boot from it by selecting it in the Apple boot loader. When it comes to the syslinux boot loader, press [tab] to edit the entry and append "noapic" or "nointremap" to the end to prevent a kernel panic during bootup. Currently (august 4, 2012), you also have to add "nomodeset".
Connecting WiFi
After it has finished booting, enter a command line. Copy the entire folder with the firmware for your wireless card to /lib/firmware/. Now you should be able to use wpa_supplicant to connect to your WiFi network.
The installation
Run the installation wizard. When asked to partition your hard drive, create a small HFS partition. This is where you put the standalone grub package after the installation. The rest of the installation is pretty much the same as usual. When choosing the bootloader, select grub2 and install it. Don't worry about any errors, we will create the bootable efi image on our own afterwards.
After the installation has completed, directly copy the WiFi firmware to the installed system to /tmp/install/usr/lib/firmware.
update the kernel
Best results are obtained with the 3.5 kernel. To date, you can install it from [testing] or from the AUR linux-mainline. To get keyboard backlight and Bluetooth working, apply this patch.
3.6-rc6 (and up) include all the patches needed for applesmc, i915, bluetooth and apple-gmux. You can install it from AUR (or soon from [testing] or [core]. It might not include the nouveau patches yet (not sure).
Direct EFI booting
You can directly boot from the kernel, in which case there is no bootloader per se (the kernel is its own bootloader). This is described elsewhere in UEFI_Bootloaders section EFISTUB. In a nutshell, you have to put kernel and initramfs in a linux directory of your EFI partition (sda1), together with a file containing the kernel boot parameters.
Another solution is to install GRUB2. Edit /tmp/install/boot/grub/grub.cfg and edit the boot entry to load linux-mainline instead of the normal one. Also append "noapic" to the kernel line again.
Now cd into /tmp/install and create the grub image by calling:
grub-mkstandalone -o grub-standalone-x86_64.efi -d usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi -O x86_64-efi -C xz boot/grub/grub.cfg
This will create file called grub-standalone-x86_64.efi which contains grub and the config file. It is important to do cd into the right directory to make it pick up the config file and put it into the right place within the image. Copy this file to the HFS partition you have created earlier. Downside of this method is that you need to repeat this step whenever you want to change the grub config.
Reboot the machine and boot into Mac OS. The HFS partition should be mounted and the grub standalone image in there. Follow the steps on this page to create the files needed to make the Apple boot loader pick up grub: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/7468.html. After creating the files, use "bless" on the grub image on the partition, if you want to boot automatically to Arch, append --setBoot.
After another reboot, you should be able to select your installed Arch Linux by keeping the alt button pressed while booting in case you haven't used --setBoot while blessing.
Post installation
The Laptop comes with an nVidia and a Intel chip. The i915 (from 3.6-rc5) and proprietary nvidia (from 302.17) drivers work. You can install the proprietary nvidia driver from [testing] (recommended) or from the AUR nvidia-beta-all, or download the nVidia installer from their website (not recommended, always install things through pacman to avoid file conflicts).
Because of the integrated button, the synaptics touchpad driver caused issues for me. Installing xf86-input-mtrack and adjusting its config produced way better results.
Suspend should work fine with the i915 or nvidia drivers.
In case you encounter problems with resuming when using the nvidia driver, try the --quirk-dpms-on quirk. You can add a "99local" file in /etc/pm/config.d/ with the following content:
DISPLAY_QUIRK_DPMS_ON="true" QUIRKOPTS="true"
What doesn't work (early September 2012, 3.6-rc6)
- Microphone (white noise at all times)
- Suspend mode on lid close with nouveau
and i915(does not come out of suspend; blank screen).
- Nouveau driver (screen corruption; mode is correct) < solved ~ august 12, 2012.
- i915 driver (screen corruption; mode is correct) < Solved august 13, 2012 (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2012-August/019522.html)
- Backlight with nouveau and nvidia drivers
GMUX (not recognized by GMUX driver) < Solved august 13, 2012. Also makes suspend/resume w/ intel driver work (http://luna.vmars.tuwien.ac.at/~froe...p/apple-gmux.c)
Here are a couple of interesting threads:


text:
Bernard Madoff's lawyer has told the judge scheduled to sentence the disgraced financier next week that 12 years in prison will be sufficient punishment for the man who swindled tens of billions of investors' dollars in one of history's biggest frauds.
Attorney Ira Sorkin also said in court papers made public Tuesday that his 71-year-old client "will speak to the shame he has felt and to the pain he has caused" when U.S. District Judge Denny Chin sentences him on Monday.
"We seek neither mercy nor sympathy," Sorkin wrote. But he urged Chin to "set aside the emotion and hysteria attendant to this case" as he determines the sentence.
Madoff faces up to 150 years in prison after pleading guilty on March 12 to 11 felony counts, including securities fraud and perjury. He admitted operating a massive Ponzi scheme for decades.
Sorkin said a sentence of a dozen years in prison would acknowledge Madoff's voluntary surrender, full acceptance of responsibility, meaningful cooperation efforts and the nonviolent nature of his crime.
Still, the lawyer added that a prison term of 15 to 20 years would not disproportionately punish Madoff compared to sentences given other white-collar criminals.
"Indeed, such a range will appropriately eliminate concerns for disparate treatment among similarly situated nonviolent offenders," he wrote.
The lawyer included in his submission to the court late Monday an analysis of sentences given to defendants in fraud-related cases between 1999 and 2008 that concluded the average sentence when leniency was not provided was 15.3 years in prison. The analysis covered 42,000 defendants, none of whom received sentences of life in prison.
He also noted that Madoff's age would leave him with an average life expectancy of 12.6 more years.
In his submission, Sorkin cited dozens of letters from Madoff victims urging Chin to make sure Madoff never gets out of prison.
"The significant anger and resentment evidence in the victims' words is no doubt justified in light of the circumstances of this case," Sorkin said. "Thankfully, none of the fury expressed in the victim statements has been as shocking as the death threats and anti-Semitic e-mails that have been directed toward Mr. Madoff and his counsel."
Still, he added, the tone of the victim statements "suggests a desire for a type of mob vengeance that, if countenanced here, would negate and render meaningless the role of the court."
"We ... recognize that terrible losses have been suffered as a result of Mr. Madoff's conduct, and we have advised Mr. Madoff of their tenor and heart-wrenching stories of loss and deprivation," Sorkin wrote.
Madoff was arrested in December after he confessed to his sons that the private investment side of his business was a fraud. Authorities say Madoff promised investors their accounts were worth as much as $65 billion. In reality, only several hundred million dollars remained.
Janice Oh, a spokeswoman for federal prosecutors in Manhattan, said the office had no comment.

By the time the Miami Heat get on their plane to come home late tonight, they could have a stranglehold on the race to finish with the NBA's best record.
All they have to do is win at San Antonio. That, of course, is no easy task.
The Heat (57-15) take a two-game lead in the NBA standings over the Spurs (55-17) into their matchup. A win would essentially provide Miami a four-game cushion with nine remaining, given that the Heat also would control any potential head-to-head tiebreaker with San Antonio.
If the Heat lose, the race for home-court advantage throughout the entirety of the playoffs could turn into a frantic, down-to-the-wire deal.
"It's always good to play the best, to play against the best," LeBron James said. "It'll be an opportunity for us. We just want to get better, man. The game Sunday doesn't define our season or how we go from there. We just want to continue to move forward and get better throughout the rest of the season."
Miami has won 28 of its last 29 games overall, getting back on the winning track at New Orleans on Friday, two days after Chicago snapped a 27-game Heat winning streak. But San Antonio has won 28 of its last 30 games at home, and facing the Spurs on the road is traditionally a painful expedition for many members of the Heat � as it tends to be for everyone else in the NBA.
Dwyane Wade is 1-4 at San Antonio, sitting out three other Heat losses there during his career. Chris Bosh is 1-7. James is 3-7. Shane Battier � a longtime player in the Western Conference � has enjoyed eight wins from the visitors' side when facing the Spurs, and also been on the losing end 16 times there.
"It's obviously a very, very, very good team," Wade said. "Very tough place to play, so I think our mentality and how we approach the game is going to be important. You just try to go out there and compete, as we do every night, try to get a great road win. It's not going to be easy, but that's kind of what we enjoy."
The only other meeting between the clubs this season was Nov. 29 in Miami, a strange game in that Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich � citing a desire to rest his best players at the end of a long road trip � sent Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Danny Green home before the game.
With guys like Patty Mills, Nando De Colo and Matt Bonner filling out the starting lineup � they've combined to make four other starts this season � the Spurs almost beat the Heat anyway, leading by five with 2:13 left before getting outscored 12-2 in a wild Miami finish that gave the Heat a 105-100 win.
Ginobili played just under three minutes in Friday night's win over the Los Angeles Clippers because of a strained right hamstring. Yesterday the Spurs said Ginobili is out for tonight's game, with no return date set.
The Spurs have won six of their last seven games. Of those six wins, only one came by double figures, an 11-point victory over Golden State. The average margin of the other five wins in that span, over Dallas, Cleveland, Utah, Denver and Clippers was 3.4 points, and the only loss was a one-pointer at Houston.
"It's great challenges, good preparation for us for the playoffs," Parker said.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) Two days after another whipping at the hands of rival Oklahoma, Texas coach Mack Brown dismissed any suggestions he may be ready to retire, saying he's still got energy and the backing of the school and its big boosters.
Brown said Monday that several prominent boosters told him keep his head up and keep fighting after the 63-21 blowout, the third time in Brown's tenure the Sooners have hung more than 60 points on the Longhorns.
Texas' second consecutive loss dropped the Longhorns (4-2, 0-2 Big 12) to 17-14 overall under Brown since 2010, and raised new speculation that the 61-year-old who led Texas to the 2005 national championship may consider retiring.
Brown is under contract under 2020. At more than $5 million per year, he is one of the highest-paid coaches in the country.
``I have my energy. I'm moving forward,'' Brown said. ``I know I've got time to fix it and I know I can.''
Brown would not say which boosters reached out to him, but added that he heard the same positive message from many former Texas players.
``I'm way too competitive and (have) way too much pride to leave something bad,'' Brown said, adding he still thinks Texas can win 10 games this season
Brown has heard rumblings about his job before but nothing truly serious. From 2000-2004, his teams lost five in a row to Oklahoma, but those teams still won at least nine games every year. Texas ended the losing streak the season the Longhorns won the national title and the dissension melted away.
The strongest speculation about his possible retirement came in 2009-2010.
Texas had a coach-in-waiting in defensive coordinator Will Muschamp in 2009, the season Texas lost in the BCS title game. Some thought had Texas won that game, Brown would retire with his second championship.
Texas fell hard to 5-7 the following season and Muschamp bolted for the head coaching job at Florida. Brown said he met with school President Bill Powers and athletic director DeLoss Dodds after that season.
``When I decided to come back, I told them it was going to take some time,'' Brown said. ``We sat down and had hard discussions. They were 100 percent in their support. They said, `We want you to stay and we'll give you the time and money to do it.' That's not an issue.''
Brown said he doesn't face the constant pressure coaches do at other schools.
``I've got great bosses. This job isn't like the others,'' Brown said. ``I'm the luckiest guy in the world.''
Texas gave Brown his initial $5 million-per year deal in December 2009 after a 12-0 regular season but before the BCS game loss. The contract was extended it four years in January 2012 after Texas rebounded from the losing season to go 8-5 in 2011.
After Saturday's loss to Oklahoma, when the television cameras often caught Brown looking frustrated on the sideline, the coach clearly expected his team to hear speculation about his future. He told his players he wasn't going anywhere.
``He told us he wasn't going to quit and didn't want to see any quit in us, either,'' offensive lineman Mason Walters said.
Brown also had a message on Monday for his top assistant coaches, offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin and defensive coordinator Manny Diaz, whose unit is on pace to be statistically the worst in school history. The Longhorns surrendered nearly 700 yards against Oklahoma and have given up at least 31 points in four consecutive games.
``At this school you will be really criticized for not doing well in a ball game. You take it and man up to it it's the reason you get paid a lot. It's part of the deal here,'' Brown said. ``You guys want to be head coaches, learn now, because you are going to get some questions later.''
Brown got a bit of good news after the loss when quarterback David Ash was cleared to return to practice despite an injured wrist on his left, non-throwing arm.
Ash left the game in the fourth quarter after taking a hit and team doctors initially worried the arm was broken because of the severe swelling. X-rays showed no fractures and Ash was taking snaps from center on Sunday.
Ash said Monday he'll play this week against Baylor (3-2, 0-2).
Any criticism of Brown and speculation about his job should ``stop,'' Ash said.
``He's a winner. He's a competitor. He wants to stay positive,'' Ash said.

Rapper Kid Cudi has lost his bitter court battle with a former lover over the custody of their child.
Kid Cudi, real name Scott Mescudi, agreed to surrender full custody of daughter Vada to her mother after a year of fighting for joint custody.
Cudi said he bought a property in Chicago to be close to the 2 year old, and provided her mother with generous child support.
However, in papers obtained by editors at TMZ.com, Cudi's ex claims he has only provided "sporadic and inconsistent amounts" of money and accuses him of being an absentee father.
She also claims Cudi has violent tendencies and a "long history of consistent drug and alcohol abuse."
The two parties finally came to an agreement over the summer, and Vada's mother now has full custody. Cudi has been granted visitation rights and will also pay child support.

This didn't look too hard?! Having only two weeks with his new Ozone Edges under his belt, our new teamrider Florian Gruber ruled the European tour races in Casteldefells.
He won the competition and by this result also earned the the vice european champion title. "This was my first event with Ozone and Temavento! Conditions were not easy but worked best for me: 17m Edge and Temavento Board that's my new favorite combination. In gusty offshore conditions I managed to come in as first twice, and as second in the third run. I am super happy with my result and will surely keep pushing."
Congratulations, Flo – way to go! Next up: Worlds in China! We have our fingers crossed.

There is a lot of emotion surrounding the current debate about making our gun-control laws more rational, and not too many facts. The people calling for change aren't members of a lynch mob who want all sportsmen arrested and run out of town. And the true gun believers aren't all nut jobs clinging to assault rifles.
You'd have to be pretty hard-hearted not to have been saddened by the death of all of those little children in Newtown, Conn. Let's face it: They were murdered by a sick young man who had easy access to guns in his home. Why his now deceased mother thought she needed to have a high-capacity magazine in a suburban home will always be a mystery.
I've been around enough hunters and spoken at enough rifle groups over the years to easily understand why some legitimate hunters zealously guard their right to own a gun. The Constitution protects that right, but somehow I don't think the Founding Fathers wanted every homeowner to have a high-powered assault rifle in their closet, with clips that hold large numbers of bullets.
Here are some simple facts, courtesy of Time magazine. There is nearly one gun in the United States for every American. We are the most heavily armed nation in the world, followed by Yemen, which is on the brink of a civil war. The U.S. has the highest homicide rate by gun among developed nations, 3.2 per 100,000 people.
Americans own 35 to 50 percent of the world's civilian guns, and our gun laws are among the most lax in the world. There are no federal regulations banning the semiautomatic assault weapons or large-capacity-ammo magazines often used in mass shootings.
Our neighbor to the north, Canada, requires all gun owners to undergo a background check and take a safety course. Handguns, semiautomatic weapons and most nonhunting guns are heavily restricted. Would-be owners need to obtain a federal registration certificate. Canada's gun homicide rate is less than 0.5 per 100,000 population.

When the United States built the Panama Canal a century ago, it faced harrowing obstacles, from mudslides to malaria that killed thousands. But history doesn't appear to show a financial dispute with contractors. At least not one that halted labor on the maritime marvel.
Fast forward a century, to a $5.3 billion expansion on both the Pacific and Atlantic ends of the isthmus waterway. It looks like a digitally created Hollywood epic, an army of trucks and cranes erecting concrete walls more than two miles long and more than 100 feet high.
The wider, deeper channels and locks are aimed at serving more massive vessels known as Post-Panamax ships. Over the next decade they should almost double the cargo the canal moves in and out of our hemisphere.
As a result, says Jorge Quijano, who heads the Panama Canal Authority, or ACP, "Panama is essentially going to be the largest port in Latin America."
Yet earlier this year the expansion work stopped for two weeks. The reason: a disagreement between the Panama Canal Authority and a consortium of European construction firms, the GUPC, over who should pay for a $1.6 billion cost overrun.
They've since agreed on some stopgap financing to keep the project running – the entire canal expansion is about 75 percent complete, and is slated to be finished by the end of next year – and they've agreed to international arbitration, some of which is now playing out in Miami.
A Cloud Of Uncertainty
But until the two sides get this settled, a cloud of uncertainty hangs over the project's final stretch. And over many U.S. ports which have laid big bets on the Panama venture by investing billions in their own expansions in order to profit from the increased Post-Panamax traffic.
Miami's expanded port, for example, just opened a new, billion-dollar tunnel – the jewel of a $2 billion makeover that includes a major dredging project and skyscraper-size loading cranes for sending a lot more auto parts to Brazil and getting a lot more handbags from China.
Says Carlos Urriola, executive vice president of the Manzanillo International Terminal, a major port at the Panama Canal's Caribbean entrance: "We're all too aware that ports like Miami are definitely waiting to see when we're going to be ready with our canal."
Odds are that arbitration will cut through the dysfunction and that the canal expansion will be ready on time. No project of this magnitude is ever immune to snags; but given the hemispheric if not global importance involved in this one, the alleged $1.6 billion spillover is alarming. It represents a full half of the GUPC's original $3.2 billion contract.
So was the GUPC's bid simply too low? And if so, why was it accepted by the Panama Canal Authority, which since taking control of the canal from the U.S. in 2000 has run it in otherwise stellar fashion?
I spoke in Panama with both Quijano and Jan Kop, the GUPC's deputy project director.
Kop insists the consortium has run into "surprises that we could not have foreseen."
He argues it has had to dramatically adjust its costs for circumstances like rare soil conditions and higher-than-expected earthquake potential along the canal. Things, Kop adds, that the Panama Canal Authority "should have known about since 1914."
Quijano, a U.S.-educated engineer, calls the claims either false or exaggerated.
"Even if [the GUPC's claims were] fact," Quijano says, "the [cost] amounts they are claiming are outrageous. They're not even within the ballpark." He adds: "[Their] behavior is definitely disappointing."
Hong Kong Of The Americas?
Kop says the Panama Canal Authority is sticking "too rigidly, given the project's scale," to the contract. But shipping analysts tell me there's a broader reason for Quijano's hard line.
Namely, the Panama Canal Authority's earnest desire to prove itself a reliable institution in contrast to Panama's notoriously corrupt political and judicial systems. Which means making a point of holding to business agreements too often cavalierly dismissed outside the canal's walls.
Arbitration will decide if the Panama Canal Authority is being too inflexible in this case. But making Panama more transparent is in fact key if the tiny Central American country, with just 3.5 million people, wants to realize its outsize ambitions. One is to compete with Miami to be the commercial "gateway to the Americas."
The other, larger goal is to become the Hong Kong of the Americas – a global maritime and financial hub.
"We're selling Panama now more than the Panama Canal," says Quijano.
"We do want to take away a little bit of the business from Miami," he adds. "With an expanded canal and all the [business] diversification it envisions ... our thrust is to make Panama a [hemispheric] logistics center."
As a result, says Urriola of the MIT, the canal "is the religion that unites all Panamanians."
Which is why those Panamanians are praying for light at the end of the canal expansion's tunnel.
Tim Padgett is based in Miami with WLRN. You can read more of his coverage here.
Panama Canal was a stunning feat of engineering when it opened its locks 100 years ago. It still is, but today a massive effort to widen and deepen the maritime shortcut is underway. By allowing bigger ships, the expansion aims to nearly double the amount of cargo that moves between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans.
The project is creating a demand for larger cargo vessels, as long as four football fields. So now, several U.S. ports are expanding to accommodate them. Tim Padgett of member station WLRN takes us from Miami to Panama to look at how the canal is changing modern shipping.
TIM PADGETT, BYLINE: The Port of Miami is putting the finishing touches on a new tunnel set to open this month. It's part of a $2 billion upgrade, one that will let Miami send a lot more auto-parts to Brazil and get a lot more handbags from China on more massive vessels known as Post-Panamax ships.
A growing number of ports in the Eastern U.S. - Charleston, South Carolina is one of the most recent - have started renovations for the big Post-Panamax ships - deep harbor dredging and skyscraper-sized loading cranes. What they're trying to take advantage of is this - an even more gigantic venture a thousand miles to the south - the $5 billion expansion of the Panama Canal.
The wider Post-Panamax channels and locks will almost double the cargo the canal moves in and out of our hemisphere each year. Jorge Quijano heads the Panama Canal Authority, or ACP.
JORGE QUIJANO: Panama's going to be the largest port in Latin America.
PADGETT: The canal expansion sites look like a digitally created Hollywood epic - armies of trucks and cranes erecting walls of concrete more than two miles long and more than 100 feet high. Quijano says the job should be finished by the end of next year.
QUIJANO: The whole program is about 75 percent complete.
PADGETT: Which is great until you consider the trouble hanging over the remaining 25 percent. You see, earlier this year the expansion work shut down for two weeks.
QUIJANO: This behavior is definitely disappointing.
PADGETT: Talks broke down between the Authority and a consortium of European construction firms over who should pay for an alarming $1.6 billion cost overrun. The consortium says it's had to adjust for unexpected circumstances like higher earthquake potential along the canal - things it feels the authority did not fully disclose. But Quijano calls those claims exaggerated, if not an excuse for the consortium's poor planning.
QUIJANO: They claim that they have found different soil conditions and so on that have generated more cost. However, even if that was a fact, the amounts that they're claiming are outrageous and they're not within the ballpark.
JAN KOP: It's such a process, you have to be flexible.
PADGETT: That's Jan Kop, the consortium's deputy project director. He says it's the authority that's being unrealistic.
KOP: The ACP has put in place a very rigid contract contract, but, of course, for a project this scale, ground condition is something - they come along when you execute a project.
PADGETT: The two sides have since agreed to some stopgap financing to keep the project going, but their dispute hasn't been settled. To cut through the dysfunction and avoid another costly delay, the parties have agreed to international arbitration. Some of that legal proceeding is taking place in the United States, which seems fitting since the stakes are also high for so many U.S. ports. Carlos Urriola is executive vice president of the Manzanillo International Terminal, Panama's largest port.
CARLOS URRIOLA: Ports like Miami are definitely waiting to see when we're going to be ready with our canal.
PADGETT: If U.S. ports are waiting for the increased Panama Canal cargo traffic, the stakes are even higher for Panama. It's hoping to become the Hong Kong of the Americas, a global maritime and financial hub, says Quijano.
QUIJANO: There's much more in Panama than just the canal. And our thrust has been to make Panama more of a logistics center.
PADGETT: As a result, says Urriola, of the Manzanillo port...
URRIOLA: The canal is the religion that unites Panamanians.
PADGETT: Which is why Panamanians and not a few Americans are praying the work gets done. For NPR News, I'm Tim Padgett.
SIMON: Tomorrow on WEEKEND EDITION, we look at how the expansion of the canal is changing life for some in Panama, but not for others. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Fusion Energy Sciences (FES)
Scientists supported under FES Discovery Plasma Science have conducted first measurements of heat flux in plasmas, which experientially demonstrated the validity of classical thermal transport
An 11-month engineering upgrade to The DIII-D National Fusion Facility in San Diego will enable a new generation of experiments
Laser experiments verify 'turbulent dynamo' theory of how cosmic magnetic fields are created
The pursuit of fusion energy embraces the challenge of bringing the energy-producing power of a star to earth for the benefit of humankind. The promise is enormous—an energy system whose fuel is obtained from seawater and from plentiful supplies of lithium in the earth, whose resulting radioactivity is modest, and which yields zero carbon emissions to the atmosphere. The pursuit is one of the most challenging programs of scientific research and development that has ever been undertaken. With the support of FES, a devoted, expert, and innovative scientific and engineering workforce has been responsible for the impressive progress in harnessing fusion energy since the earliest fusion experiments over sixty years ago. As a result, we are on the verge of a new age in fusion science during which researchers will undertake fundamental tests of fusion energy's viability. Establishing a deep scientific understanding of the requirements for harnessing and optimizing this process on earth is critical, and the progress has been dramatic.
The science underpinning much of fusion energy research is plasma physics. Plasmas—the fourth state of matter—are hot gases, hot enough that electrons have been knocked free of atomic nuclei, forming an ensemble of ions and electrons that can conduct electrical currents and can respond to electric and magnetic fields. The science of plasmas is elegant, far-reaching, and impactful. Comprising over 99% of the visible universe, plasmas are also pervasive. It is the state of matter of the sun's center, corona, and solar flares. Plasma dynamics are at the heart of the extraordinary formation of galactic jets and accretion of stellar material around black holes. On earth it is the stuff of lightning and flames. Plasma physics describes the processes giving rise to the aurora that gently illuminates the far northern and southern nighttime skies. Practical applications of plasmas are found in various forms of lighting and semiconductor manufacturing, and of course plasma televisions.

This has only happened to me once or twice but as an this is a great argument if you've actually got a cluster which has a single, fixed use. my world is a completely general HPC provider, and we certainly can't pander to some single application's bug-compatibility with a particular distro. this is simply part of the cost that an end-user must bear when choosing to invest in a commercial package. I think such users all too frequently overlook this: yes, they get something called "support", but that support drasticallly limits where they can run the app. > example: If I have to connect a cluster I/O node to an enterprise SAN > fabric I'd rather my linux host OS be something that the SAN/FC switch > vendor officially certifies and has qualified. The cost of the FC is one of my favorate peeves - a whole industry where the standard is so low that none of them actually interoperate. put commodity disks in company X's SAN shelf! heavens to betsy! that's unsupported... contrast this to a *real*, honest standard like ethernet, where everyone really does expect nics/switches/packets/udp/tcp even nfs/cifs to just play nice together. yes, there are occasional problems with some obscure corner like Cisco 10/100 autonegotiation - but Cisco is an FC-esque vendor... vendors love lock-in. ignorant or naive users don't notice lock-in. certain categories of admins love lock-in because of the job security that accrues from managing crappy fragile stuff. but as the computer industry matures, more people are realizing that lock-in is the antithesis to standardization. my only fear is that the legal/political profession will continue riding the fallacy of "intellectual property". that's a great analogy, that IP is like a huge, ongoing traffic disaster, with the lawyers and politicians chasing the ambulances.

When Oceanside resident Raymond Pagano got a call from Laura Munafo, the Nassau County representative for Gov. Andrew Cuomo's Community Reconstruction Zones program, Pagano was first surprised, and then intrigued.
"She and the governor wanted me to come to Albany to be on the stage when Cuomo announced the program to the public, and I accepted it quickly, because it was a chance to help the community rebuild after Hurricane Sandy," said Pagano, the president of the Oceanside Civic Association and an engineer for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. "I went, and now I'm a committee member."
Pagano is one of three men appointed thus far to the Community Reconstruction Zone Planning Committee, which will represent four local communities: Oceanside, Island Park, Harbor Isle and Barnum Island. Each committee — there are 45 statewide — has been allocated up to $25 million, and the committee, working with experts provided by the state, will decide how that money will best be spent.
The other two committee members, who have already been designated by Munafo as co-chairs, are Island Park residents Anthony D'Esposito, the chief of the Island Park Fire Department, and the son of Steve D. Esposito, Island Park's deputy mayor, and Tommy Asher, the former owner of the Village Nursery School, a day care center that was devastated by Sandy, and a retired New York City firefighter.
"The committee is in the early stages of development," Pagano told the Herald. "We were told in Albany that the committee would grow, and that the first meeting would be prior to the end of August."
According to guidelines provided by the state, each committee will have nine to 15 members — experts in planning, zoning, transportation, public works or economic development, representatives of commercial, environmental, housing or human services organizations or vulnerable populations, and emergency management personnel. Committee members will not be paid, and will have to follow a detailed code of ethics, the guidelines say.
Through the CRZ planning process, communities will asses their vulnerabilities, identify where funds should be spent to address them and develop projects that will promote sound economic development.
Pagano said he thinks he was invited to join the committee because of his dual roles as community activist and transportation engineer. "I have the expertise on the civil engineering side," he said, "and have worked on resilience projects for the MTA, including one prior to Sandy on Lawson Boulevard, near the Oceanside Long Island Railroad station, where the MTA put in fencing along the track that kept debris off the track after the storm."
The process, which was described as "bottom up," has angered some local residents. "How can it be bottom-up when committee members were already chosen before the governor's announcement was even made?" asked Seth Blau, an Oceanside resident who said he wonders why both co-chairs are from Island Park when Oceanside is a much larger community.
"There are all sorts of Oceanside officials that the state could have gone to in order to find a co-chair," Blau said. "They could have gone to the school board, to the Sanitary Commission, to the Chamber of Commerce, to local politicians and come up with a co-chair from Oceanside. It's frustrating, with so much at stake, that nobody from Oceanside is co-chairing the committee."
Munafo responded in an email, "The state hears your concern with respect to the areas in which the co-chairs reside and I am confident that Oceanside will be represented in the process."
Asher is receiving a disability pension from the FDNY, from which he retired after several years of service. He led a protest called Walk in our Shoes after Sandy tore through the community, lobbying for federal funds for the recovery effort.
Munafo declined to say who chose the two men as co-chairs, explaining only that their names "popped up" on the state's radar and that they were chosen after discussions among several people with ties to the four communities.
The state's guidelines call for the work of the committees to be completed within a year of their first meetings.

Happy Wednesday! OMGosh! It is finally here. High Hopes is releasing its new collection of stamps illustrated by Dustin Pike! Of course we are celebrating with a Blog Hop!
If you have come here from Melanie's blog then you are on track. If not, start -->here<—at the HH Challenge blog. You don't want to miss any of this! There is a chance to win 4 prizes along the way. All you have to do is to make sure to comment on each Diva's blog because the prizes are on random Diva blogs. There will be one main prize of the FULL Release and then 3 prizes of stamp packages. (Also there is a prize if you participate in the challenge this week at the HH Blog -->here<--)
I created a fun little outer-space scene card using 4 of the new stamps. The little alien in the crater is actually a separate stamp but I thought he would look pretty cool on the space scene! I cut away the front of the card to create an aperture and framed the opening with a Spellbinders shape.
When opened you get the full view of the space scene as well as this amazing sentiment. This is such a great motivating sentiment. It is so true!
I took a picture of the side view of the card. You can see here that I have 4 layers here. This is the perfect scene to do this with. I stamped it out 4 times and airbrushed each one with slightly different hues of ink. Then I cut them out and layered them, slipping the little alien between the top two layers. Everything is mounted on foam dimensionals. I forgot to take a picture of the markers that I used. So sorry. I had a lot of cards going on all at once.
I love how this card turned out. Only one problem….both my older boys want it………I see a lot of cutting, airbrushing, and foam dimensionals in my future! LOL!
High Hopes Stamps are available at:
- High Hopes Stamps based in Ontario, Canada
- Amy Wegener - Stampin' Stuff based out of Australia
- Nikki Fairbairn - Bunny Zoe's Crafts based out of the UK/Europe
- Lacey Stephens - Stamp and Create based out of the USA
- Amy Leggate - Paper Romance based out of Canada
The next stop on the blog hop is the lovely and talented Amy W.
I hope you enjoy hopping your way through all the new creations! Have a great day!

Next PS3 Firmware Update May Add Cloud Saves
Since the feature "will allow save data with the copy prohibited attribute to be copied into the online storage," developers are allowed to opt out if they have concerns about users exploiting it.
The catch? Online Saving will be for PlayStation Plus users only. Sony seems to be looking for ways to add value to the service, and this would fit the bill. Sources of our own Xav de Matos noted that cloud-saving was in the works post-PlayStation Plus release when he uncovered all the details prior to E3 2010. Now it looks like the cloud may finally be set for release.
The company has been more keen on bringing PC-like attributes to the PS3, like allowing Steamworks in its version of Portal 2. At the recent NGP event, Hideo Kojima hinted that he'd like to offer Cloud functionality between the console and portable versions of his next Metal Gear Solid game. Sony owns the trademark for "PS Cloud," so all the pieces seem to be in place.

JTP needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 37 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
W.D. Goodwill Foundation
The Wilford and Dorthy Goodwill Family foundation was founded by Wilford Goodwill and dedicated to those who have fallen through the Cracks. Wilf Died last year from a fall in his own home at the age of 91. He attributed his good health to that time to being active in the community and life. He went to work every day, drove himself, until the day he died. His could often be found working around the house or office. He dedicated the remainder of his estate to helping the elderly as he felt this was a large gap in society that needed to be addressed. So many had no family and no means to care for themselves and he wanted to make a difference.
The foundation is a charity and is focused on grabbing the attention of the elderly, the first thought we would like the logo to illicit is care and compassion as well as our desire to take a hands on approach. The foundation helps seniors with things they can't do. It has established a large volunteer orginaztion. We always tell people, we're not looking to pay house payments or utility bills but if you need a new refrigerator or something done around the house, call us. No red tape, no beaurocracy, just let us get in there and do it. Wilford Goodwill would not have it any other way.
We're looking for something fresh and innovative that says we're "Hands On" with care and compassion. Our benifactors are all 65 and over.

Rick Feeney
Collections Manager, Ichthyology
Christine Thacker
Emeritus Curator, Ichthyology
The Natural History Museum's fish collection is one of ten internationally recognized ichthyological collections in the United States. The collection contains nearly three million catalogued specimens, including representatives of most fish families. Taxonomic strengths of the collection include deepsea, luminescent Stomiiformes (dragonfishes, viperfishes) and Myctophiformes (lanternfishes); freshwater Ostariophysi, particularly Siluriformes (catfish), Cypriniformes (carp), and Characiformes (characins); Anguilliformes (eels); Scorpaeniformes (scorpionfishes, lionfishes and stonefishes); and extensive holdings of Perciformes, particularly Gobiidae (gobies), Apogonidae (cardinalfishes), Blenniidae, Clinidae and Labrisomidae (blennies), Exocoetidae (flyingfishes), Labridae (wrasses), Pomacentridae (damselfishes), Scienidae (croakers), and Serranidae (basses). Our geographic emphasis is the Pacific Rim, with particular strengths in fishes from the Eastern Pacific, Galapagos, Hawaiian, and Philippine islands, the Antarctic, and the freshwaters of North, Central, and South America. We also hold special collections of fish eggs and larvae, otoliths, frozen tissues, skeletons, cleared and stained specimens, and radiographs, in addition to an extensive book and reprint library.
Two remarkable specimens, a megamouth shark (Megachiasma pelagios) and a coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae) share a large exhibit tank displayed on the first floor. The shark is the second megamouth specimen ever recorded and was caught in 1984 off Catalina Island. Megamouth sharks inhabit all oceans but are rarely captured. They inhabit deep waters (to 500 ft. deep) during the daytime and rise to near the surface at night. The coelacanth is a representative of the Sarcopterygii, or lobe-finned fishes, close relatives of the tetrapods (amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals). Thought to have gone extinct in the Cretaceous, coelacanths were rediscovered living in the Indian Ocean in 1938. They are two of our largest specimens (along with the oarfish) and they are both males.
Also on display on the first floor is a long, slender fish with distinctively elongate dorsal and pectoral fin rays. This silvery ribbon-like fish swam into Big Fisherman Cove on Catalina Island in 2006. It was identified as an oarfish (Regalecus glesne) by researchers from the Wrigley Marine Science Center located in the Cove, who were able to dive with and photograph the fish as it swam. They collected it, froze it, and brought the fish by boat to the mainland where it was transported to the Natural History Museum and prepared for display. The vibrant purple, blue, and red colors of the living specimen are shown in an illustration adjacent to the specimen, and some of the live colors are still visible. Oarfishes in the water may be mistaken for sea monsters or sea serpents, and are likely the source of many such stories.

I think the real question is, why don't your emails normally wait for proctoring? From what I can tell, all emails to this list have to be approved by hand, except for yours. I know all of my emails are held with the reason 'Post to moderated list' Personally, I think if Don wants to limit posts to list member, that's fine. But he shouldn't choose a few list members to automatically get their posts approved, and others who don't.

- URW Baskerville is a 51 serif font family for an amazing price. If you need a classic serif family in your studio's collection, you cannot go wrong with this release from URW. Baskerville is a transitional serif typeface designed in 1757 by John Baskerville (1706-1775) in Birmingham, England. Baskerville is classified as a transitional typeface, positioned between the old style typefaces of William Caslon, and the modern styles of Giambattista Bodoni and Firmin Didot. The Baskerville typeface is the result of John Baskerville's intent to improve upon the types of William Caslon. He increased the contrast between thick and thin strokes, making the serifs sharper and more tapered, and shifted the axis of rounded letters to a more vertical position. The curved strokes are more circular in shape, and the characters became more regular. These changes created a greater consistency in size and form. Baskerville's typeface was the culmination of a larger series of experiments to improve legibility which also included paper making and ink manufacturing. The result was a typeface that reflected Baskerville's ideals of perfection, where he chose simplicity and quiet refinement. His background as a writing master is evident in the distinctive swash tail on the uppercase Q and in the cursive serifs in the Baskerville Italic. The refined feeling of the typeface makes it an excellent choice to convey dignity and tradition. In 1757, Baskerville published his first work, a collection of Virgil, which was followed by some fifty other classics. In 1758, he was appointed printer to the Cambridge University Press. It was there in 1763 that he published his master work, a folio Bible, which was printed using his own typeface, ink, and paper. The perfection of his work seems to have unsettled his contemporaries, and some claimed the stark contrasts in his printing damaged the eyes. Abroad, however, he was much admired, notably by Fournier, Bodoni (who intended at one point to come to England to work under him), and Benjamin Franklin.

VEVO Revamps iPad App
VEVO is a great way to discover and view videos from current music artists. The service spans across mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone as well as the web. The iPad's size and screen resolution makes it idea to catch your favorite artists in action showing off for the camera if you're not in front of your TV. So it makes sense that Apple's tablet is the focus for VEVO's latest app redesign.
The app now has a plethora of new features including even more exclusive videos and original VEVO programming, longer viewing sessions, the ability to not only discover new music according to genre, but also view artist's biographies, tweets, tour dates, and view their entire catalogs. Users have deeper functionality when it comes to creating and organizing playlists that they can also share with other users and on Facebook. The most notable to me is the solid Apple integration like viewing your iTunes match videos in-app, and ability to send videos to your AirPlay-enabled device. If you have an Apple TV hooked up to a unnecessarily large flatscreen TV, you can play VEVO videos on the "big TV" without all the fluff that your average music television channel currently offers.
The VEVO app offers 50,000 music videos from more than 11,000 artists. So if you're looking to occupy your time with some music entertainment while your car is in the shop, check out the redesigned VEVO app for iPad and let us know what you think.

Earth is the rumored planet of Humans, where they conduct their business. It is considered a holy place by almost all religions. Dice worshipers believe that all dice once were created there. Members of the church of explosions believe that there have been multiple RRBEs (Really Really Big Explosions) there, giving birth to the idea of the nuklear option.
Some scientists believe that Earth is not merely a planet, but rather the entire universe, and that each world of minifigs, is but a mere household of a human who likes to play god with minifig lives. However, due to the fact that BOX and BIN class spaceships have no windows, these theories can not be proved. However, some really cool minifigs claim to have traveled in POCKET class transports, and also claim to have seen the true horrors of space. Some minifigs have claimed to hear a very, very strange and horrifying noise the humans call: "Orgasms". Minifigs who have heard this terrible noise either die instantly, turn into a Dungan Jaw-Jaw, or they return as a horrifing DUPLO figure. Those who DO turn into a DUPLO either return to their home to live in shame, or kill themselves.

Coach unity was on full display at the start of "The Voice" Tuesday night — but by the end of the hour-long eliminations show, when Kat Robichaud and Austin Jenckes were axed, it was clear that one man's triumphant cry was another man's warning bell.
The victor Tuesday night? Adam Levine, without a doubt, whose team of three — James Wolpert, Will Champlin and Tessanne Chin, who were saved in that order — survived the eliminations intact.
The icing on the cake for the Maroon 5 singer, of course, was the news he got toward the top of the show that he'd been selected People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive for 2013.
Tuesday brought good news for Christina, too, who kicked off the show with a performance — aided by both her team members, Jacquie Lee and Matthew Schuler — of a medley of Michael Jackson songs that won sweeping praise from host Carson Daly. He declared it maybe the best live performance ever on "The Voice."
(A slew of other performances were yet to come, including one from Team Blake performing ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man" in a fake roadhouse set, plus a striking duet on Lorde's "Royals" from two very different vocalists, Tessanne and Team CeeLo's Caroline Pennell.)
But the night's live eliminations show brought more alarming news for the show's two other coaches, CeeLo Green and, to a lesser extent, Blake Shelton.
Both of their teams lost one member Tuesday night, dealing a particularly tough blow to Team CeeLo, which was already down to just two members. That meant Caroline Pennell was the only CeeLo protegee left standing in the competition.
And even Caroline's save, which Adam reluctantly but accurately predicted, came only after a nerve-wracking hour for the shy 17-year-old.
The one-time "Voice" votes-topper was left standing onstage in the bottom three as the end of the show drew near. But when Carson Daly turned the decision over to tweeting fans, via the Twitter Instant Save, they picked her to stick around.
That meant Team CeeLo survived to sing another week, even if its hopes now rest entirely on just one member.
"The Voice" airs Mondays at 8/7c and Tuesdays at 9/8c on NBC.

International Fashion Doll Convention 2013
Integrity Toys Direct Exclusive
Never been to a doll convention. No plans in the foreseeable future. I was just lucky enough to get a chance to purchase a doll convention exclusive from the W Club last year. And so, in anticipation of the 2014 W Club year, I share with you one of the beauties produced by Integrity Toys in 2013.
I love the look of mystique about this doll. I'm seeing gothic, lolita and glam all at once. She also clearly looks like she's up to no good. But what attracted me most to her is the funky hair.

I think atheists are much more broad in their musical tastes. An example is fundy Christians take to listening to christian music only regardless of how good or bad the music is. Atheists however wouldn't take to just listening to Atheist rock, we are a lot more diverse.
I actually like some songs that are apparently from "christian rock" groups. I guess either the religious message isn't very clear or i just choose to not hear it. Or I just plain don't care.. ya that one's most likely...
There was a great concert by Negativland. Check out the first 2 parts:
I don't know where to find the rest of the concert, but I heard the whole thing on my local community radio station. It was awesome!
Atheist rock from XTC:
Lot's more audience appreciation would be a start.
