The Dean of the Medical School of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Professor Yaw Edu Sarkodie, has advocated the need for educational institutions in the country to establish partnership with small scale industries to train students in vocational and technical skills.
This, according to him, would enable students, who are not academically inclined, to learn meaningful skills that would make them useful and productive in order to contribute their quota towards national development.
Professor Sarkodie, an alumnus of Fijai Senior High School, gave the advice when delivering a keynote address at a durbar to climax the 60th Anniversary of the school on Saturday.
He observed that countries such as Malaysia and Singapore that took the middle manpower training of their peoples seriously in areas of vocational and technical skills had catapulted their economies and called on educational institutions in the country to learn a cue from them.
The Diamond Jubilee Celebration, which was under the theme: "60 years of Co-Education – The Vision and Mission of the Founding Fathers" attracted high profile personalities, old students, traditional rulers and government functionaries to the school premises.
Prof. Sarkodie, a fellow of the West African College of Physicians, appealed to the governments to refrain from playing politics with the duration of the Senior High School.
He said the four-year and three-year experimentation of the duration of the secondary education by successive governments would not help the cause of development of this country and called on authorities concerned to take concrete steps to stop such politics in the education sector.
The Dean of the Medical School of the KNUST admonished the youth to show resilience, dedication, discipline and fear of God in all their endeavours, adding that success could not be achieved on a silver platter but hard work.
The Director General of the Ghana Education Service, Madam Benedicta Naana Biney, said the school started in 1952 from a humble beginning, but by dint of hardwork had blossom with many academic and sports laurels over the years.
She noted that in spite of its limited facilities at the beginning it had produced excellent and successful professionals, who are doing extremely well in the areas of education, banking, engineering, journalism, medicine, law, among others.
Madam Biney commended the founding fathers of the school for fetching such a laudable idea of establishing a school that provided equal opportunities for both boys and girls.
The co-education vision of the founding fathers provided equal access to education for both sexes that helped to spread literacy at that period when many second cycle schools were single stream institutions, she observed.
"That co-education idea provided academic competition between boys and girls, as well as harmony, interpersonal relationships whereby both sexes became conscious of their dressing and character", she added.
The Headmaster, Mr. Joe Ocloo Nyamadi, said the school still remains a co-educational institution but the proportions have changed drastically with a ratio of 2:1 in favour of girls.
He indicated that the school, which started 60 years ago with only 30 boys and eight girls, now had a population of 1,727 students comprising 1, 200 girls and 527 boys.
Mr. Nyamadi, therefore, appealed to all alumni of the school and other stakeholders to contribute their widow's mites towards the expansion of the school facilities.
The headmaster mentioned some pressing needs of the schools such as the need for a new dormitory for the boys, rehabilitation of the existing dormitory block, a state-of-the-art ICT laboratory, more suitable sickbay, bigger dining hall, as well as a fence wall to avoid future encroachment on the school lands.
The, however, acknowledged the contribution of the government through the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETfund) and the internally generated funds for providing a new girls' dormitory, which is nearing completion, a seven-unit classroom block and an assembly hall.
He also commended the Fijai Old Students' Association (FOSA) and other old student groups for their tremendous assistance in renovating the new staff room, replacement of boys' dormitory and redecoration of the existing girls' dormitory.
The management and board of the school used the occasion to read and present citations to three former headmasters as well as a pioneer of the school for their meritorious contributions towards the development of the school.
The school presented prizes to deserving students, who excelled in last academic year, and hardworking staff of the school for their continuous service to the school.GNA

A Resort for a Song
Rendering: Margaritaville resort in Hollywood
A Parrothead notion came to Lon Tabatchnick as he puzzled over what could serve as a draw to a resort he wanted to build on Hollywood's beach. He knew he had the right idea as he attended a Dolphins-Jets game and heard Jimmy Buffett lead the crowd in "fins to the left/fins to the right." Says Tabatchnick, "He got the best response to that song."
"We're going to be the 800-pound gorilla in the marketplace. It's a Florida brand."
-- Developer Lon Tabatchnick
This doesn't faze Tabatchnick. His $131-million, 350-room resort will be the first resort under Buffett's Margaritaville brand. (Palm Beach-based Margaritaville has a hotel in Pensacola along with its eateries.) Margaritaville will run its namesake restaurant at the resort while Naples-based Coral Hospitality will run the rest. "The brand will bring them in," predicts Coral CEO Lee Weeks.
Financing is complex: A 99-year land lease; a loan from the Hollywood CRA; capital through a federal visa program for foreign investors who want to invest their way to U.S. residency; a quasi-governmental community development district to fund the parking garage.
Tabatchnick hopes to break ground by the end of 2011 and be open by late 2013. "We're glad we're not necessarily open today."

Texas AgriLife Research, part of the Texas A&M University System, and General Atomics, a San Diego-based technology company, have received a $4 million grant from the state's Emerging Technology Fund for biofuel microalgae research.
The ETF grant authorized by Gov. Rick Perry will be supported by more than $4 million of parallel U.S. Department of Defense sponsored research aimed at developing microalgae-derived biodiesel fuels to support U.S. domestic and military needs.
"Texas is committed to creating a diverse energy portfolio that provides stability and reduces dependence on foreign energy," said Gov. Perry. "Developing alternative energy sources through Texas-based research is of tremendous value to a fast-growing state like Texas and to our nation as a whole."
A biofuel microalgae research facility is scheduled for construction at the Texas AgriLife Research center in Pecos. It is expected the facility will become a national center for algae research and development for biofuels.
"Through this partnership, we will be able to accelerate the entire research and development process and commercialize a number of technologies in biofuel microalgae production," said Guy Diedrich, vice chancellor for federal relations, research and commercialization for the A&M System.
Texas AgriLife Research and General Atomics have already identified strains of algae that have high-producing oil potential. These strains require large amounts of sunlight, salty water and carbon dioxide to thrive and produce oil — all of which is readily available in the Permian Basin of Texas. Researchers anticipate the algae systems may be tied to coal-fired power plants in the future, using carbon dioxide emissions and waste heat for algae growth.
"We are convinced that algae-based biofuels have the potential to provide very substantial benefits to the nation, and we are extremely pleased to have this opportunity to work together with the outstanding scientists and engineers of the A&M system to move the technology forward," said Bill Davison, vice president, General Atomics Advanced Process Systems Division. The partnership between Texas AgriLife Research and General Atomics involves a phased research and development program, which includes evaluating new, promising algae strains, developing and testing algae production systems and designing and testing algae/oil separation systems.
The first phase will demonstrate algae production systems up to approximately a quarter of an acre. The second phase will include a pre-commercial scale system and the final phase would be a commercial-size operation of 50 to 100 acres.
Production systems up to 2,000 acres could be implemented in the Permian Basin of Texas and the Southwest. Economists within the A&M System predict for each 2,000-acre unit, the local economic impact would equal approximately $190 million annually.
"This project supported by the Emerging Technology Fund could very well pave the way for new, innovative biofuel production systems here in Texas and provide additional economic impact in the Permian Basin and the Southwest," said Dr. Mark Hussey, director of Texas AgriLife Research and interim vice chancellor and dean of agriculture and life sciences at Texas A&M University. "This partnership certainly will help accelerate work in meeting the ever-growing demand for biofuels by consumers and the military."
The Emerging Technology Fund is a $200 million initiative created by the Texas Legislature in 2006 to help businesses get innovations to the marketplace. Recipients of ETF funding are selected by a 17-member advisory committee of high-tech leaders, entrepreneurs and research experts who review potential projects and recommend projects for funding to the governor, lieutenant governor and speaker of the House.
The Texas AgriLife Research (agriliferesearch.tamu.edu) is a science and technology agency under the Texas A&M University System charged with conducting basic and applied research in agriculture, the life sciences and natural resources. Its mission is to generate scientific knowledge that benefits both consumers and the agriculture industry in Texas and beyond.

Donald Trump refuses to let his beauty pageant past go. This reminds me of my only brush with a beauty contest, before Trump took it on--back in 1974, when it was briefly based in my hometown of Niagara Falls, N.Y. I covered the contest that year for my magazine, Crawdaddy, and wrote a much-too-long cover story, offending many in town with my pro-feminist slant. I think the headline was something like, "Selling Boobs to the Rubes.'
What was cool that year was that in contrast to many recent winners, the reigning Miss USA (left) was a very un-glossy, intelligent, hip young woman, who was blessed (or blessed herself) with the name Amanda Jones--as in the Rolling Stones song "Miss Amanda Jones"--marched in peace rallies, was pro-choice, and spoken out about feminism (and against the contest itself) during her year on the job. As she told Bob Barker on the night was crowned: "I'm not the [beauty pageant] type." She even on occasion asked that she be referred to as "Ms. USA." Imagine that today.
When I interviewed her she was clearly ready to leave the post and promised a surprise for the night of the big telecast. Sure enough, at the close of the ceremony, as she gave her "final walk" as queen, she looked straight into the camera (and, at that time, still a large TV audience) and gave the famous signal from the recent hit film, The Sting--indicating the whole beauty contest thing was a sham, a "con." Good times! Studs Terkel later interviewed her for a book. Her Wikipedia entry details it.

Be productive in your homeschool without the busywork and burnout.
Be confident in your homeschool choices.
Use effective, simple tools to foster lifelong learning!
Step 1:
Shift your mindset.
Step 2:
Make learning sticky.
Step 3:
Build the notebooks.
It doesn't matter what curriculum you use, what method you follow, or how many children you have.
I knew I wasn't giving my kids the 'best of the best'.
After 6 years of homeschooling, I knew I wasn't giving my kids the 'best of the best'. I didn't want them to turn out like me, a great student who 20 years later, with high school & college diplomas in hand, doesn't remember much of anything taught.
When we notebook our studies, they remember more. Light bulbs click. Eyes shine! We have a growing collection of their homeschool journey lining our bookshelves.

Mom of 10, ages young to adult
This is not how homeschooling was supposed to be!
Our curriculum just isn't working. My child hates writing. How do I homeschool multiple children and not lose my mind? I'm tired of all this busywork. My child's not motivated (honestly, I'm not motivated). I need to simplify our day. Would love to add delight-directed learning to our day. My kids aren't retaining anything. Want something to cement what we are learning. Need more variety in our day. Tired of wasting money on resources we don't use. Want a more personalized education. Want an easier way to keep track of what we are learning. Kids can't wait for the school day to FINALLY be over. Want something tangible to help lessons "stick". Want my children to learn, not just pass a test. Want my kids to enjoy learning without having to prod. Feel like we are not getting enough done. We are so bored!
Other homeschoolers ...
the reasons they joined our membership program.
Take a peek into my homeschool story.
We used the notebook pages on China. There were so many pages to choose from, we couldn't begin to use them all. It made a really nice notebook with all the different styles. Thank you
We are loving notebooking! Let me just say it has completely changed our school for the better. Now the girls are really excited to "do school". I was about to give up even though I knew it was what God wanted us to do. School was just drudgery. This has breathed new life into our home and days. How could something so simple provide such relief? If you can't enjoy what you are doing, then, what is the point? We are so happy to be notebooking.
Being a Lifetime Member means never having to renew. It is always there for me. I can print out what I need when I want it and it's already paid for! This is such a great idea Debra has worked so diligently on over the past years.
I have 4 kids 8,8,4 & 3. When we started homeschooling 2 years ago I was so overwhelmed, trying to figure out how to make sure they retained what we learned. When I found https://notebookingpages.com I was so thrilled to find a way to make sure they were retaining information, practicing their writing skills, improving their handwriting, all while having a good time. This was the answer! As I started notebooking I learning that even beyond being great for my 8 year olds, the little ones (4 &3) enjoying coloring, drawing and beginning their writing skills on the notebook pages as well! Now it's a full family activity, and I am able to give each child a page that is at their level in the same subject! A total homeschool homerun!
I love notebookingpages.com. We started out using the ABC books and have moved up as my children get older. We now use the history pages with our Story of the World studies. We use the science sheets to keep up with experiments with Apologia. One of the things I like most about the pages is that you can use them in so many ways and with so many programs! I love too that I can hope on and print out EXACTLY what I need…like the president pages that we used to study through all the presidents! Recently Debra added a program to write your own copywork sheets in CURSIVE!!! No more buying copybooks that "aren't quite right!" Now I can make my own and have exactly what we need (with pictures too!!) I cannot wait to get started. We benefit in some many ways from these pages and I appreciate NOT having to do the work! :)
I have always wanted to make custom pages for my children so they could tailor their specific lessons for themselves. notebookingpages.com allows me to do this for each of my children and it's very easy to use. Thank you for creating this for us homeschooling moms who love to use notebooking as an added tool to teach our kids.
I had heard about notebooking for years, but I just KNEW my kids weren't that into taking notes. As we read history, for instance, I would mention things they needed to write down, and the response was moaning, groaning, and slow motion, then messy, if any notes. Last week, for science, I needed a skeleton page to label, and we had been studying the Explorers. I prayed, talked to my husband, and took the plunge. We purchased the notebooking treasury to save my time. I immediately printed off an Explorers page, a map, and 2 explorers pages each. The pages were met with colored pencils, immediate attention, and almost excitement. Even my 15 yo, who isn't required with the younger few, sat down and did notes!! Lots of notes. They were engaged, asked spelling, dates, and listened. The 6yo kept up with the others, and had the cutest notes ever!! I'm surprised, and SOLD on notebooking ;)
I'm a homeschooling mom of 4 children who are various ages. One child has moderate/severe ADHD. We've tried various ways of learning and found that notebooking and lapbooking was the most successful and the best received. We've been using these wonderful notebooking pages for years! Each time we begin a new unit, I simply log in to print the needed pages and we are on our way to another great learning adventure. These pages have saved me so much time over the years and I am truly grateful for all of your efforts. I always recommend these pages to friends and family!
I have been using some of Deb's notebooking pages via CD-ROM from years past and am so excited that I was FINALLY able to purchase a Lifetime membership!
We have already put many of the pages to use. My kids are having fun exploring the Notebooking Publisher and making their pages look more "spiffy!"
Definitely worth the investment!
Thanks Deb for making this available. Your pages definitely help our day run a bit smoother while offering another avenue for creative expression and narration.

Our boarding guests, as well as our hospital patients, are closely monitored and supervised by technicians and animal attendants. If a problem arises, you have the peace of mind of knowing that, in contrast to most boarding facilities, our veterinarian is always available.
Rain, sunshine, sleet or snow, our kennel attendants walk each dog individually.Our boarding kennel differs from other city facilities by having outdoor runs, so that dogs can get daily exercise and fresh air.
Our boarding facility has the the same hours of operation as the hospital. We are open Monday through Friday from 8AM until 8PM. On Saturday, we are open from 9AM until 4PM. We strongly recommend that you arrive at least a half hour before closing time. There are no admissions or discharges on Sunday.
For the benefit of your pet, as well as the health of other pets, all boarding guests must be up-to-date on vaccinations prior to being admitted into our facility. Our canine guests are required to be up-to-date on their Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus, Coronavirus, Canine Influenza and Bordatella vaccinations. Our feline guests are required to be current on Rabies, Distemper, Respiratory Disease Complex and Leukemia vaccinations. Feline guests must also have proof of having been tested negative for Feline Leukemia Virus.
If vaccines have not been administered at TriboroAnimal Hospital, you must provide acceptable proof of current vaccination status. Any vaccinations that are due at the time of boarding must be administered by us at admission. This policy is for the safety of all our guests and there are no exceptions.
Check In ProcedureAt check-in, a staff member will ask you for an emergency phone number and contact person, feeding instructions, health concerns, medication instructions and grooming options. This will ensure that your pet gets the proper care and attention required during his/her stay. We feed our boarding guests Hills and Eukanuba premium foods; however, if you prefer your own personal pet food, please provide it in a waterproof plastic container and label it with your pet's name.
Illness or EmergencyShould a pet need medical assistance, every effort will be made to contact a family member in order to discuss the options. If immediate attention is needed, one of our veterinarians will begin treatment and discuss follow up care by telephone or at check out time. Please inform us if your pet has allergies or any medical conditions. If a guest requires medication, it will be administered by our boarding staff for a nominal fee.
Personal Items
If you bring any personal items, we may write your family name on the items with permanent ink. We are not responsible for loss or damage to any personal items.
Boarding Rates
Please call Triboro Animal Hospital for our current boarding rates.
Complete grooming services available as well. Our professional groomer can groom your pets before they go home.

People familiar with case: Evidence shows NYC undercover detective pounding on SUV in melee
NEW YORK – Two people familiar with the case say investigators have video evidence of an off-duty NYPD undercover detective pounding on an SUV during a melee with motorcyclists.
The people were not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.
His lawyer had said Monday that the detective only witnessed other bikers attacking the vehicle.
The driver was pulled from his SUV on Sept. 29 after hitting a Massachusetts motorcyclist. The driver's wife said he was fleeing to protect her and their 2-year-old.
Four bikers have been charged in the case. One of them, Craig Wright, was arraigned Tuesday on assault and other charges.
His attorney says Wright will fight the charges.
Associated Press writer Tom Hays contributed to this report.

The Old Timer of Royal Oak, Mich., was a regular contributor to H&P years before we ever even heard of the internet. But most of his advice is just as useful — and interesting — today.
So rather than leave his wisdom printed on pages archived in our storage room, I pulled out issues from the late 1980s and early 1990s and have been reproducing relevant entries in this blog. Here is my 17th entry, which was originally published in the May 1989 issue:
Penniless project recycles rejected components
We've all probably looked at a machine or piece of equipment at one time or another and wondered just why the designer chose that particular configuration or that combination of components. Maybe he didn't have much of a choice. Here's a case in point:
We all got a rush call to attend a strategy meeting for a big project at one of our testing labs. They had contracted to put together and upgrade 30 old rotary side-loading test machines from a defunct government plant. These were to be used to test new products for another government agency.
On a railroad siding outside sat six freight cars loaded with disassembled original stands. There were racks of air-over-oil tanks, dozens of special cylinders, lengths of hose and tubing, and a multitude of gauges, regulators, valves, fittings, and miscellaneous items. It was a fluid power bonanza — if you could figure out how to use it.
Everything was there except money. This project was very light on money. But if it was a success, there was a flock of similar projects on the horizon and, eventually, money galore. So we were given the green light to go ahead full bore. Our orders: scrounge, convert, rework, and update — but don't spend any money. Looks are totally unimportant.And, of course, have these machines ready to run in 30 days.
Make it functional, simple, and versatile. You know — a few weights, springs, levers, or what have you. And make each station independent. We don't want to depend on a central system. Don't worry if it takes a couple of hours to set up, because we'll be running the same test for months after it's ready to go.
Test loads would range from ½ to 500 tons. The force cylinders on the stands had 16-in bores, so we needed a pressure range from 5 to 500 psi. We decided that the pressure had to be hydraulic, for fear that if a test part ruptured the sudden release of the force cylinder could intensify trapped air pressure and possibly destroy the cylinder or our machine. The system used static loading, so we didn't need 30 power units — which we couldn't afford anyway. We did have 105-psi supply air and our pile of junk.
We brainstormed through a few dozen schemes — some wild, some goofy, some with merit — and finally came up with the diagrammed arrangement. With valve A open, air through regular B pushes oil into the work cylinder. When the work cylinder has extended up against the test load, continuing oil flow floats the intensifying cylinder up about 4 in, lifting the weight spindle with it. If valve A now is closed to trap the oil in the two cylinders, pressure can be intensified by manually placing weights on the spindle. We provided ten 50-lb weights, and each one increased the force at the work cylinder by ½ ton. Regulator C comes into play ror forces about 5 tons. It's fairly easy to figure out the combinations of air pressure through C, and weights on the spindle that will produce the desired forces.
You've probably noticed that we could have run this circuit with air alone and no weights, but the lab chief didn't trust the regulators at the low settings for smaller loads. Besides, the weights gave us an easy visual floating reference.
The intensifier cylinder trapped about a quart of oil. Failure of a part produced a fraction of an inch of slow travel. No slams, no bangs, no damage! A nice, quiet, little static system running on low pressure and driven by shop air.
To reset the work cylinder, regulator B was turned down to zero and valve A opened. The system bled down slowly, which was of no concern.
The lab people loved it and, best of all, the government loved it. They eventually sprang for a force strain gauge with digital readout and a printer for permanent records. Our cost was mostly labor plus the lead weights. We eventually put the three valves in a locked cabinet to keep them safe from curious fingers.
Last I head, these units ran for more than five years with little or no maintenance — and no problems.

Marty Lescht ASID and AIA (PA) of Lescht and Associates, is an Interior Architect and Designer based out of Chicago but known nationwide for his almost 40 year resume, touting such greats as Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises (Hub 51, Tru, Everest) to luxury hotels and the restoration of the Wrigley Building. Marty often pairs with Lightology for his projects, most recently to design Karyn's On Green, an all-vegan restaurant looking for a design to match its chic, eco-friendly menu.
What was your vision for the space?
Because we live in Chicago and it's dark so much of the year, and I wanted to create a feeling more like Malibu or Santa Monica — very cool and natural, with an outdoor feeling. When you walk into Karyn's On Green, you get the feeling that the food and the experience will be fresh and clean. I create unique, interesting designs, but I like working with neutrals and am influenced by nature. This way, the people and the food really get to be the star and enhance the ambiance of the restaurant.
How do you incorporate lighting into your designs?
I don't incorporate lighting; it is the main factor in my projects. I could spend a million dollars on a project and if it's not lit properly — it's a waste. Dimming is incredibly important so you can change lighting effects from day to night, seasonally, etc. And for this project, all the lighting is eco-friendly, to coordinate with the all-vegan menu.

Gold and silver prices headed lower this morning while platinum and palladium extended their Tuesday rally with fairly hefty additional gains. Gold retreated towards the $1,750 area while silver fell back to near the $34 level as profit-takers moved in following yesterday's Sino-Euro-news-induced euphoria. Platinum vaulted to the $1,721 mark on the offer side and narrowed its gap with gold to $70 while palladium advanced $10 to rise to the $723 figure on the offered side of spot prices.
Crude oil gave back only 40 cents of Tuesday's advance this morning and it traded at $105.74 per barrel while the US dollar advanced 0.24 to 79.29 on the trade-weighted index. The Dow was still orbiting within striking distance of the 13K pivot point this morning but European stock suffered a second session of setback as the post Greek rescue hangover began to take its toll. Existing US home sales climbed by more than 4% last month.
US-based bullion dealers we polled over the past week report "quiet" conditions and only "sporadic" telephone call and transaction volumes, with would-be buyers of gold and silver only making an appearance in the wake of substantial rallies and not really buying on the dips. Premiums on several types of gold and silver bullion are only ½% above, or at, or under, melting values in the wholesale market. Meanwhile, last week's comments on gold versus what he terms "productive" assets continue to reverberate in various forums and have engendered scathing — to put it mildly — responses from some commenters. Business Insider's Joe Weisenthal wonders why this (shooting the messenger) must be the case.
Other background gold market news indicates that India's 2012 gold imports could suffer a 35% setback in the wake of moderating inflation and a recovery in local equity markets. "The stabilization of basic macroeconomic conditions at home is expected to curtail the demand for imported gold to be held as an asset by Indian households," C. Rangarajan, chairman of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's economic advisory council said, presenting the panel's report on the Indian economy. In recent weeks, the importation of large amounts of gold into the country has been identified as the prime culprit in the spiking of India's current account deficit, and this has prompted the government to make moves aimed at tempering such intake.
Notwithstanding the recent ascent in prices that is making investors take notice, a setback of another kind is currently occurring in the platinum/palladium demand sector. The commodities team at Standard Bank (SA) mentioned yesterday that Chinese demand data in PGMs remains on the soft side. This morning, they have corroborating evidence with the findings contained in the Swiss PGM export data.
To wit, "Switzerland turned [into a] net exporter of platinum in January. However, only a net of 2,737 ozs. of platinum were exported, well below the 2011 average of 37,622 ozs. Net exports from Switzerland to China fell to 56,919 ozs. compared to 74,493 ozs. in December. The lack of exports to these traditional automotive centres (Germany, Japan, and USA) and the slowdown in Chinese imports underscores our view that industrial demand for platinum is not strong enough to push prices above $1,650 on a sustainable basis just yet."
Well, it turns out that upon closer "inspection" by global investors, the very same factors that gave rise to yesterday's optimism and buying spree in various assets, were judged to be still full of uncertainties and potential pitfalls and thus they contributed to scaled back enthusiasm levels this morning. News from Europe and China helped propel commodities on Tuesday but fresh(er) news from the same places conspired to ignite a bit of a sell-off as the midweek sessions got underway in New York this morning. Specifically, manufacturing statistics came in on the weak side in both the Old World and in China. In addition, the Greek rescue package's approval has raised more questions than perhaps appeared to be answered just one day ago.
Notwithstanding the Eurogroup's assistance to Greece, Fitch's ratings agency cut that country's sovereign debt rating to "C" and stressed that the odds of a default remain "highly likely in the near term." Fitch's is most preoccupied by the idea that private creditors of Greece could be forced to settle for a debt swap with the country — a situation which could, de facto, be termed as a technical default, even though it would wear the label of a "distressed debt exchange." One of Germany's top economists, Hans-Werner Sinn, has characterized the Greek rescue as "illusory" as it imposes a nasty deflationary paradigm on the country.


text: Chris, I have a view on the topic, having delivered professional software for both 2D and 3D SCI torus topologies as well as for Gbe, Myri, and IB centralized switch topologies. First, in such a discussion it is hard to separate _implementation_ from _architecture_. I would state that an implementation of a 2D/3D torus topology can have very short latencies. But why is it? Using SCI from Dolphin you would observe very short latencies, but this stems from the NIC SW/HW architecture, not the topology per se in my view. For example, a 64-bit, 66MHz PCI with Dolphin NIC has lower latency than a modern PCI-e NIC from Mellanox, both measured with a direct cable (i.e. a two-node ringlet using SCI) using the same SW stack (Scali MPI Connect). [However, the payload does not have to grow very large before the lack of bandwidth becomes a hinder to latency. A 4x IB PCI-e one-way traffic of 1k payload is about 600MB/s, which, as a side note, is faster than Cray XD1 despite their claim being 2x faster that 4x IB on short messages ;-)] However, a primary trend seems to make torus topologies less attractive. Although it is true that the bi-section bandwidth scales (not linear though) with the size of the system, a decent bi-section bandwidth requires the links which makes up the torus to be significant faster than the I/O of the compute nodes. For example, looking at a 1D torus (ring). How much total bandwidth is available for the attached nodes assuming uniformly distributed traffic? The answer is approximately 1.5 times the bandwidth of the individual link segments. Given the link-speed and the effective compute-node I/O bandwidth though the actual NIC, its simple arithmetic to calculate how many nodes it is applicable to have in each dimension of the torus. However, my observation is that the link speed of todays interconnects and the I/O speed of the nodes seems to get closer and closer. If this is true, I would claim that the applicability of torus topologies for systems with I/O bus attachment will become less attractive over time. The latter from a _bandwidth_ centric view. Other factors in deciding the best suitability between the two topologies have to a large extent been commented. One issue though, is that on-site spare-parts are fewer and less expensive for tori, but this factor is of course most important for smaller system, measuring cost_of_spare_parts as a fraction of the total interconnect cost. Fault-tolerance cost could also be less expensive with a torus. If one random power supply breaks down in a torus, it must be that of a compute node, and the impact of that is 1/Nth of the system (assuming a decent run-time system which dynamically recalculates routes). If the power supply of a centralized switch breaks down, you loose the whole system. Of course this can be alleviated by (multiple) dual power-supplies, etc., but cost would typically be higher than in the torus case. Also, an argument in favour of a torus topology, could be linear incremental growth cost. Slightly exceeding no_of_ports available in a switch will sometimes significant increase the average cost per port, if full bi-section bandwidth is to be maintained. The obvious drawback of tori topologies is cabling, assuming the torus is implemented with two cables per dimension. You get significant more cables, implying longer deployment times and more complicated node replacement. In larger systems though, cabling of centralized switched tends to require very _long_ cables, something you do not need using tori topologies. We have some interesting results of HPCC using same node hardware, same SW stack, for 2D SCI, Gbe, Myrinet, and IB. If interested, we can probably disclose these numbers to you. * Hakon (Hakon.Bugge _ AT_ scali.com)


text: Philadelphia, PA - The Philadelphia Phillies claimed outfielder Jordan Danks off waivers from the Chicago White Sox on Friday. LeBron James Team USA Jersey . Danks split last season between the White Sox and the minors. The 28-year-old played 51 games at the big league level and hit .222 with two home runs and 10 RBI. In 180 career major league games over three seasons, Danks has hit .227 with eight home runs and 26 RBI. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said the team was attracted to Danks power and outfield defense. Tracy McGrady USA Jersey . UEFA said Wednesday that the champions of England and France only have to include five home-trained players in their 21-man squads next season instead of the expected eight. Only one of the five players needs to be trained by the club itself. Carmelo Anthony USA Jersey . The Calgary Stampeders announced both moves on Wednesday. Parker played 17 regular season games with the Stampeders in 2013, setting career-highs in catches (21) and yards (217). http://www.teamusaolympicsshop.us/Olympics-Stephon-Marbury-Usa-Jersey/ . The 21-year-old Canadian earned a spot in his third career ATP final on Saturday thanks to his first Top 10 victory of the new tennis season, a 6-4, 6-4 win over world no. 10 Nicolas Almagro of Spain.ARLINGTON, Texas -- Martin Perez wants to keep the spot in the Texas Rangers rotation that appeared to be his before getting hurt in spring training. That wont be a problem if the young left-hander keeps pitching like this, throwing six-hit ball into the seventh inning in a 4-0 victory over the scuffling Cincinnati Reds on Friday night. "Throwing strikes, pounding the strike zone, not getting caught in any patterns, great mound presence. All of the above," manager Ron Washington said. "Hes doing everything hes supposed to do to be successful." While Perez (2-1) went 6 2-3 scoreless innings and seems healthy, Reds starter Johnny Cueto (4-2) was gone a batter into the second inning because of tightness in his right lat muscle. Cueto, their opening day starter who has already been on the disabled list twice this season because of similar issues, will be sent back to Cincinnati to see a doctor. "Its the same thing," manager Dusty Baker said. "It happened in the first inning again. Its very discouraging for him and for us." The 22-year-old Perez was the leading candidate for the No. 5 spot in the Rangers rotation before getting hit by a batted ball and breaking a bone in his forearm during a spring training game. He was called up from Triple-A Round Rock as the 26th man to start the first game of a split doubleheader at Arizona on May 27, then came back -- maybe this time for the rest of the season -- last Saturday, when he allowed only two runs in seven innings in a win at St. Louis. "I just want to continue to do the same job. I dont want to change my routine," Perez said. "Throw my changeup, my sinker and my fastball away." Perez allowed runs in each of the first two innings at St. Louis last weekend before holding the Cardinals scoreless over his last five innings. Cincinnati has lost three games in a row, and six of seven. The Reds have been shut out in consecutive games, and six times this season. Jason Frasor and Robbie Ross finished off the Rangers second shutout in a row and seventh this season. The Rangers won 2-0 at the New York Yankees on Thursday to cap a 5-1 trip that included a three-game sweep of the Cardinals. Texas has won nine of 11 games since a six-game losing streak. Texas went ahead to stay after scoring a first-inning run for the first time in 20 games, since June 7 at Toronto. Elvis Andrus reached on a one-out infielld single, stole second base and scored on Adrian Beltres single. Kyrie Irving Team USA Jersey. Cueto clearly grimaced on at least one pitch to Beltre, then did so again after throwing a 1-2 fastball that Mitch Moreland fouled off leading off the second. It was his last pitch. Asked if there was any consideration to not send Cueto out for the second, Baker responded, "The doctor said sometimes things will loosen up, and he said he was OK." It was only Cuetos third start since missing the first half of June while on the DL with a strained right shoulder. He also missed more than a month earlier this season because of a strained right lat. Moreland took a called third strike on the first pitch thrown by Tony Cingrani, who then needed 37 more pitches to finish the second. He had four walks in the inning, all on full-count pitches. Jurickson Profar drew a walk before David Murphy singled. Cingrani later walked three consecutive batters -- Ian Kinsler, Elvis Andrus and Nelson Cruz, the latter two forcing in runs. Beltre had a leadoff single in the fifth and scored on a single by Profar, the 20-year-old rookie who had a couple of spectacular defensive plays at shortstop in a game when Andrus was the designated hitter. Profar went way to his right to backhand Devin Mesoracos grounder starting the third, planted his foot in short left field and made a strong throw to get the out at first. An inning later, Profar went up the middle to make another nifty grab and take a hit away from Brandon Phillips. "Great defence," Perez said. "Its amazing." NOTES: Perezs only walk came with two outs in the seventh to load the bases. Frasor needed only one pitch to coax an inning-ending grounder by Mesoraco. ... Perez turned a comebacker into a double play after the Reds had consecutive singles to start the second. ... Phillips had missed both games in Oakland while on paternity leave. He returned to play on his 32nd birthday. ... Cingrani allowed three runs over four innings with six walks and three strikeouts. ... RHP Chris Leake, the Reds scheduled starter Saturday, is 5-1 his last eight starts. Rookie RHP Nick Tepesch (3-6) pitches for Texas. ... Reliever Joakim Soria, who has yet to make his Rangers debut because he is recovering from Tommy John surgery, threw a scoreless inning for Triple-A Round Rock on Friday night. The right-hander struck out two and threw 13 of 17 pitches for strikes.

I've been making baskets for an upcoming craft show in Vancouver called Artful Sundays. You can see Oscar above helping me. He loves hanging out in the craft room with me whenever I head up there to sew.
I've been sewing a few a day for the last few weeks and they are adding up. Most of them are made from old ties and scarves people have given me with gusto! There are also a few shirts thrown in for good measure. I've had A LOT of fabrics donated lately, enough to sew at least 4,000 baskets. If I stick with my current plan, I should have nearly 30 for the show on Sunday.
This will be my first craft show, so wish me luck! If it goes well, I just may do another. But for now, the show on August 7th is it.
My buddy, Tami Thirlwell, will be selling her watercolour paintings there as well. And we'll be there, rain or shine under tents. Here are the details just in case you'd like to come out and see us:

3 Ways to advance usage and drive impact in financial inclusion
Unprecedented technological advancements and corresponding innovations in business models have helped financial inclusion evolve beyond merely connecting people to a bank account. It is, for instance, helping level the playing field for small farmers by providing access to buyers, more efficient pricing, and speedier payments. It is replacing unwieldy paper voucher systems used amid humanitarian crises with prepaid cards for food and supplies. And it is helping small and micro-merchants expand their businesses by leveraging purchase data to enable credit scoring.

Home field advantage is something that every team strives for especially when they are making a run at a title. They possibly may be continuing a dynasty of winning for several years in a row, either way you hope to pop champagne and raise the trophy above your head in front of your home crowd. Clayton Shoemaker and the Bear Mountain Park Crew are true champions in every sense of the word as they seek to continue their championship run at the TransWorld SNOWboarding TransAm presented by Skullcandy. This season they do not have home field advantage with the TransAm Finals happening at Park City this week. This schedule change only fuels the fire between park building rivals and the end result is some high caliber parks for the kids to face off in for the last two stops of the tour.
Jon McDonald rode his face completely off with a fierce run at everything on the hill, especially the Skullcandy boom box wall ride. He aired well above the cassette in the boom box and slid across the very top of the beat blaster into first place. Veroniqi Hasson drove herself into first place by hitting the Muscle Milk parallel rails over the tower of triumph and fence pieces onto the top of the Bear Mountain stranger danger van. Jeremy Estorga kept his head in the game and his mind on his money by rolling through the Giro Helmets lift tube with ease. SiSi Cavretti took advantage of the blue sky and sunshine to jib the top of the Sanuk wave and drop deep into the swell bellow the rail. Dustin Hendrickson, was one of the smaller riders out ripping the set up, but he did not come up short on the Anon Optics pyramid rail to dumpster. Hendrickson went dumpster diving and came up with the Pint Sized Ripper Award.
Matt Guntert adjusted his beanie and had everyone's head spinning with his death defying antics on the Coal Headwear creeper. The Coal creeper could have been hit alone, but Guntert decided he would transfer from the tank jib adjacent to the ledge. Oliver Dixon let the clouds carry him over the Ride Snowboards "Get Buck Wild" jump and found himself in heaven with a third place finish. Maria Thomsen took a short break on the Zumiez Couch feature, but relaxed in style as she rode the top of the couch and aired over the steps in the landing. Levi Kaseroff took a break of a different kind and literally was closed out in the close out rail next to the Skullcandy cassette tape. He broke his arm, but was awarded worst crash for his efforts.
The action never left the snow as the competitors gathered around the Skullcandy truck to listen to DJ Slipmat drop beats and eat some hot diggity dogs. Winners took home custom High Cascade Snowboard Camp backpacks filled with Zumiez gift cards, Wend Wax, Coal beanies, Anon goggles, Sanuk footwear, Custom Skullcandy TransAm Cassette and Aviator headphones, and Giro Helmets. First place winners were given heavy metal guitar trophies from TransWorld SNOWboarding and Zumiez is flying them out to finals this week at Park City. Muscle Milk gave out tons of awesome prizes and 200 dollars to the raddest rider of the day. Ride Snowboards laced up the winners with hoodies, cowboy hats, and snowboard decks. The riders are ready for finals with top winners across the nation from the previous eight stops throwing down to see who will be crowned TransAm champion. Jeremy Cooper and the Park Crew at Park City are looking to oust TransAm Park Building Champions Bear Mountain in what I am sure will be a shoot out at the tour finale this coming Saturday. Can you hear the fat lady singing?

text: Tuesday, May 8, 2018 Super Green Chia Gel For those who know me, know I love chia seeds. They are an amazing super food. Chia seeds are: Hydrating - when soaked Improves digestion - thanks to the soluble and insoluble fiber Regulates cholesterol levels - again thanks to the soluble fiber and because it contains essential fatty acids that cleanse the veings and prevent the oxidation of lipids Controls blood sugar levels -the nutrients contained in these seeds not only prolong feelings of fullness, they also help slow down the conversion of carbohydrates into simple sugars in the digestive system Increases energy - essential fatty acids, proteins, and antioxidants contained in chia seeds increase mental and physical performance, particularly in people who already exercise or are engaged in demanding physical activities throughout the day Helps to lose weight - because this gelatinous substance expands inside your stomach, it suppresses your appetite for longer periods of time and keeps you from stress-eating). That is a lot of goodness in one little seed- which is why it is considered a superfood. I put chia anywhere I can but my two favorite places are in my wheatgrass/chia seed shots and in this super green chia gel. You make a whole quart (which will stay fresh for a week to 2 weeks) and keep it in the fridge. Then when you need a boost of energy you swig a couple of ounces. Make it your first go to when you are in the emotional eating zone- take this first. Let it settle in for 5 minutes. I find the more greens and chia I consume the less cravings I have and if you are going to emotionally eat- nothing can be better than this. I use ChlorOxygen- the mint flavored which I order on Amazon If you like a little sweet- I add about 5 to 7 drops of Vanilla Creme liquid stevia to the jar which you can also order on Amazon I get my chia seeds at Costco. It is the cheapest price I have found. Ingredients: 1 qt water 5 tbsps chia seeds 2 dropperfuls of ChlorOxygen 5-7 drops liquid stevia (if desired) Fill a qt size canning jar with water, add chia seeds, ChlorOxygen and stevia (if desired). Put lid on and shake. Put jar into the refrigerator for several hours or overnight before consuming. Take 1-2 ounces at a time up to several times a day. Before a workout, when hit with an afternoon slump, or in the morning if you didn't get a good nights sleep. You can also add to a green smoothie.

bytestring in versions >= 0.10; once two or three Haskell Platform
editions have been released that contain
bytestring 0.10 or higher, the
dependency on
blaze-builder will be dropped in favor of the native support
Builder contained in the
bytestring package.)
Using this module
Given an
OutputStream taking
someOutputStream :: OutputStream ByteString
You create a new output stream wrapping the original one that accepts
Builder values:
do newStream <- Streams.
builderStreamsomeOutputStream Streams.
fromByteString"hello") newStream ....
You can flush the output buffer using
.... Streams.
flush) newStream ....
As a convention,
builderStream will write the empty string to the wrapped
OutputStream upon a builder buffer flush. Output streams which receive
ByteString should either ignore the empty string or interpret it as a
signal to flush their own buffers, as the System.IO.Streams.Zlib functions
example :: IO [ByteString] example = do let l1 =
intersperse" " ["the", "quick", "brown", "fox"] let l2 =
intersperse" " ["jumped", "over", "the"] let l = map
fromByteStringl1 ++ [
flush] ++ map
fromByteStringl2 is <- Streams.
fromListl (os0, grab) <- Streams.
listOutputStreamos <- Streams.
builderStreamos0 Streams.
connectis os >> grab ghci> example ["the quick brown fox","","jumped over the"]
Blaze builder conversion
builderStream :: OutputStream ByteString -> IO (OutputStream Builder)Source
Converts a
ByteString sink into a
Builder sink.
Note that if the generated builder receives a
flush, by convention it will send an empty string
to the supplied
to indicate that any output
buffers are to be flushed.
unsafeBuilderStream :: IO Buffer -> OutputStream ByteString -> IO (OutputStream Builder)Source
Unsafe variation on
builderStream that reuses an existing buffer for
NOTE: because the buffer is reused, subsequent
ByteString values written
to the wrapped
OutputString will cause previous yielded strings to change.
Do not retain references to these
ByteString values inside the
OutputStream you pass to this function, or you will violate referential
If you must retain copies of these values, then please use
copy to ensure that you have a fresh copy of the
underlying string.

'Beer Boy' from 'The Man Show' Needs to Open Shop in Yakima
On a nice warm second full day of summer in the Yakima valley, who couldn't go for an ice cold beer. Especially if there were a vendor on the street corner, much like a lemonade stand.
And ESPECIALLY if the kid working the counter was this wise-ass!

Up From the Stacks is a new music-theater performance by Mark Mulcahy and Ben Katchor, with Ken Maiuri, Dave Trenholm and Brian Marchese.
Set in The New York Public Library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street and in the environs of Times Square circa 1970, Up From the Stacks is the story of Lincoln Cabinée, a college student working part-time as a page, retrieving books for readers from the Library's collection of 43 million items. This routine evening job inadvertently thrusts young Cabinée into the treacherous crossroads of scholarly obsession and the businesses of amusement and vice that then flourished in the 42nd Street area. The intellectual life of the city and the happiness of a young man hang in the balance.Find the rest at Mr. Katchor's blog: http://benkatchor.wordpress.com/2011/09/23/up-from-the-stacks/

From Fire Volunteer to Career Firefighter: A 5-Step Guide
Volunteer firefighting is one of the most rewarding, most fun, and least financially viable professions. Most people don't have unlimited income to spend, so most volunteer firefighters are stuck between a rock and a hard place trying to work their day job and also get in a few calls. They want to be able to serve their community as a firefighter, yet sometimes they may not be able to afford it.
We've compiled a 5-Step Guide to get you in the firehouse full-time, paid. We know you deserve it!

1. Be an Active Volunteer
Sounds simple, but you would be surprised at the number of volunteers that turn over for an extra 15 minutes when their pager goes off at 3am. Show your department, and your community, that you are committed to keeping your town safe. You wouldn't dream of blowing off an important meeting at your day job for an extra few minutes of sleep, so why would the opportunity to save someone's life be any different? If you really want to be a career firefighter, it's time to step up.

|The ratification of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM)/Fiscal Pact laws by the German Constitutional Court removes significant hurdles from deeper European integration and was positively received by markets, with borrowing costs declining sharply for Spain and Italy. And today the Federal Reserve announced a third round of quantitative easing to boost growth and reduce unemployment, including open-ended purchases of $40 billion of mortgage debt a month and continuation of other assets purchases till labor market conditions improve. Industrial production (IP) shows signs of stabilization in July but performance in Q3 is expected to remain lackluster as business sentiment indicators remain depressed. Meanwhile, maize and wheat stocks are expected to decline in 2012/13 due to adverse weather conditions, with the maize market likely to be very tight.
|While key developments in Euro-area since last week suggest the risk of an acute crisis has subsided, uncertainties remain. On September 12th, Germany's Constitutional Court ratified the €700 billion ESM that is crucial to resolve the region's ongoing debt crisis and is a key requirement for the European Central Bank's (ECB) new bond-buying program announced last week. However the court has ruled that increases in potential German liabilities above €190 billion will be subject to parliamentary approval. In September borrowing costs have declined sharply for Italy and Spain, with 10-year sovereign bond yields at 5.02% and 5.62%, respectively. This is particularly important for Spain, which has to repay more than €20 billion in debt by the end of October. The ECB, EC and the IMF decision on the aid program for Greece is expected in early October.
|Industrial activity appears to have bottomed out in July, but August business sentiment surveys and inventory dynamics point to a weak performance in Q3. Newly released data suggest that IP growth may have bottomed out in July. Notably Euro Area IP surprised on the upside in July, up 0.6% m/m, with a positive outturn in Germany as both domestic and export orders rose. China's IP growth also improved, expanding at a 5% annualized pace in the three months to July up from a dismal 2.8% pace in Q2. High global inventory levels and weak final demand suggest that inventory adjustments could be a drag on growth in Q3, especially in the Euro Area and China. Inventory dynamics are more favorable for growth in the G3 and the East Asian tech exporters. In China high inventory levels will weigh on growth in coming months, but front-loading of spending on infrastructure should support growth going forward.
|The US Department of Agriculture kept its 2012/13 global grain outlook largely unchanged in its September 12 update; yet, there are upside price risks, especially for maize. The assessment was widely expected with marginal effects on futures. For maize, the 2012/13 stocks are expected to be 12.2% lower than the last season (and 18.6% below the May 12 assessment). This brings the stock-to-use ratio down to 14.4%, the lowest level since 1972/73 and 2.6 percentage points lower than in 2007/08. With stocks that low, even a small supply shock could trigger a large price spike while high oil prices could make maize-based ethanol an attractive alternative. Although wheat stocks are expected to decline by 11% from the last season, the wheat market is better supplied with stock-to-use ratio of 21.9%, 5 percentage points higher than in 2007/08. Despite weather problems earlier in the year and the on-going Thai rice purchase program, the rice market seems to be well-supplied, with prices relatively stable.
