Making Memories
My daughter, Tyrah, and I have recently returned from a short trip to visit relatives. We stayed with Aunt Cheri and Uncle Geoff who opened their camper for us to sleep in. How much fun is that?
Mom, Aunt Cheri, Tyrah and I spent a day at the cemetery decorating graves. This was an opportunity to also explain to Tyrah about relatives, their names and what we knew about them. We decorated graves of grandparents, great grandparents, great, great, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and of course, my Dad's grave.
Since Mom left her witching sticks at home, she told me to break two coat hangers and make witching sticks for Tyrah. It didn't take long before Tyrah was wandering the cemetery witching for graves. Soon people were asking her what she was doing. She was proud when two people who tend to the cemetery asked her question about her witching sticks. It was comical seeing a nine year old instruct them on holding the sticks and show they go together for a male and apart for a female. I know Mom was proud of her also.
As we began decorating the graves of some great grandparents, Mom reminded us that Aunt Grace has a child born in about 1914 or 1915, buried in that location, sex unknown. Tyrah began witching and discovered where the child was buried and that it was a baby boy. Mom checked her "work" and had the same information. She made believers out of many people who took the sticks and did their own witching that day. As needed some wire to anchor flowers pots, I broke up both of her sticks. That brought on a serious pout and words from her. Aunt Cheri promised new and better witching sticks, which she made and gave Tyrah before we left.
While there we drove past the places where my grandparents had lived. The restored park fountain across from my paternal grandparents' house was a highlight of the trip. Seeing my daughter there brought back memories of when I was her age and would play in the park and watch the lights on the fountain at night. Now she has her own memories of visiting relatives, both alive and dead.

ALS: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
There are some specific criteria for the diagnosis of ALS known as the El Escorial criteria. (They're named after a conference center in Spain, where they were developed in 1990.)
According to the El Escorial criteria, a diagnosis of ALS requires the following:
- signs of degeneration of lower motor neurons, which are in the spinal cord and brainstem, by clinical examination or specialized testing;
- signs of degeneration of upper motor neurons, which are in the brain, by clinical examination;
- progressive spread of signs within a region to other regions; and
- the absence of evidence of other disease processes that might explain the observed clinical and electrophysiological signs.
A thorough medical and family history and physical examination are the starting points of a neurologic work-up, which includes simple, in-office tests of muscle and nerve function.
If ALS is suspected, the next step is usually an electromyogram, or EMG. This test measures the signals that run between nerves and muscles and the electrical activity inside muscles to see if there's a pattern consistent with ALS. If there is, more tests likely will be ordered.
Additional tests may include imaging of the spinal cord and brain, usually by MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and sometimes a test of the fluid surrounding the spinal cord (spinal tap or lumbar puncture), which involves inserting a needle into the back between two lower vertebrae.
Blood tests to exclude disorders that mimic ALS are also performed. In some instances, a muscle biopsy, which involves taking a small sample of muscle under local anesthesia, is performed.
In some cases, genetic tests (performed on a blood sample) can confirm the diagnosis (see Causes/Inheritance).
However, the diagnosis of ALS is often a "rule-out" procedure. This means ALS is diagnosed after all other possibilities have been ruled out by specific tests.
Among the conditions that resemble ALS are some forms of muscular dystrophy, the neurologic conditions known as spinal-bulbar muscular atrophy and adult-onset spinal muscular atrophy, the nerve-to-muscle transmission disorder known as myasthenia gravis, and various causes of compression of the spinal cord or brainstem, such as tumors and malformations.
If your condition has been diagnosed as ALS outside a major medical center or without extensive testing, it may be worth getting a second opinion.
MDA-supported clinics and MDA/ALS centers are staffed by professionals who are highly skilled at diagnosing ALS and the conditions that resemble it.

When I first started playing around with HTML, I couldn't understand why there was no functionality to draw shapes and non-horizontal lines. It was only a couple of years later that I discovered VML (soon to be replaced by SVG). Don't get me wrong, HTML is an incredibly powerful GUI tool, but with the advent of vector graphics for the web, its power grows exponentially.
VML (vector markup language) is the technology that allows developers to draw directly onto an HTML page as if it were a GDI canvas. The syntax is made up of 2 parts: markup and code. These are mutually exclusive. Unfortunately, possibly due to a very slow adoption rate, the VML object model is poorly documented and rarely used in samples (here too). In order to use VML, you need to ensure that the IE5.0 install included the VML plugin. Here's a really basic VML shape.
Want to get a complete sample going on your machine? Firstly, you'll need to "import" the namespace into you HTML page:
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">
Next, you'll need to add a new behaviour to the page:
v\:* { behavior: url(#default#VML); }
That's it. It won't do anything, but it makes your page VML-aware. This base code will be presumed for the rest of examples. Try adding this anywhere within the <body> tag:
<v:roundrect style="width:150pt;height:50pt"/>
Note that valid XML syntax applies. If you don't adhere to this axiom, then the page could display unpredictably and make debugging very tedious. The actual VML markup is pretty self-explanatory and human-readable (a general goal of the XML standard). Note the v: tag-prefix, this specifies to the IE rendering engine that the roundrect tag in this case is to be handled differently to other tags.
So, what's the point? One of the advantages of VML is its minute size when compared to images. Depending on the type of webplications you design, this could be reason enough. Also:
So, hopefully, you can see that VML is more than just a distorted 1x1 pixel image. Here's the code for the famous diagonal line that I wanted to do in HTML for so long:
<v:line from="10,10" to="100,100"/>
The code is really neat and simple (albiet for simple shapes). For this type of shape, a from(x,y) to(x,y) co-ord syntax is used. The above samples are probably enough for most simple web graphics, but let's dive into some more.
from(x,y) to(x,y)
Try this:
<v:oval style="position:absolute;top:100;left:100; width:150pt;height:50pt" fillcolor="green"/>
Same concept, just a different shape. Note the all too familiar style tag attributes.
Here's a sample that uses a bunch of different shapes.
<v:line strokecolor="red"
strokeweight="2pt" from="100pt,100pt" to="200pt,150pt">
<v:stroke endarrow="diamond"/>
<v:line strokecolor="yellow"
strokeweight="2pt" from="100pt,100pt" to="50pt,100pt" >
<v:stroke endarrow="classic"/>
<v:line strokecolor="blue"
strokeweight="2pt" from="100pt,100pt" to="120pt,120pt" >
<v:stroke endarrow="block"/>
<v:line strokecolor="black"
strokeweight="2pt" from="100pt,100pt" to="150pt,200pt">
<v:stroke endarrow="none"/>
<v:line strokecolor="green"
strokeweight="2pt" from="100pt,100pt" to="200pt,85pt">
<v:stroke endarrow="oval"/>
<v:line strokecolor="green"
strokeweight="2pt" from="100pt,100pt" to="200pt,100pt">
<v:stroke endarrow="open"/>
<v:oval style="width:100pt; height: 50pt" fillcolor="pink" />
<v:curve from="10pt,10pt" to="100pt,10pt" control1="40pt,30pt" control2="70pt,30pt"></v:curve>
<v:rect id=myrect fillcolor="red"
As foreign as it seems (to most), using comments in HTML might be a really good plan here.
One of the awesome things about VML as a graphics tool is that ALL paint events are handled for you. Try minimising the browser or "un-maximise" it and move a part of it off the edge of your screen and out again. It repaints on it's own - and with no noticable performance penalty! This is a massive bonus for those graphics guys out there.
What about a real world use? Here's the output from a graphing engine I supposedly work on during bouts of insomnia.
A huge bonus that this approach has over the standard "let-the-server-make-a-gif" idea, is that the client (browser) can alter the shapes at the client's will. I achieve this by giving each applicable shape an id and use inline event-handlers to setup how mousedown, mousemove and mouseup events are handled. After that it's just a matter of implementing a bit of drag-and-drop code. So, put another way, VML shapes are still objects as far as JScript/VBScript is concerned.
The other technique that you can use to draw shapes is co-ordinate pairs. This can be a lot trickier to code by hand, but does gives you (virtually) unlimited power over your web presentation.
Here's an example:
<v:polyline points="5pt,10pt 15pt,20pt 100pt,50pt 50pt,100pt 5pt,10pt"/>
Currently, the SVG specification is set to overtake VML and will eventually be supported natively by the main browsers. But in the meantime, VML is easy to use and can offer a new avenue of expression for lowly web developers.

Within our current political climate, particularly when it comes to national politics, finding workable solutions can feel Herculean. Fortunately, on the local level there are great examples of communities working together to make progress on important challenges.
My organization, Public Agenda, helps diverse citizens and leaders navigate divisive, complex issues and arrive at workable solutions. This difficult charge can feel Herculean within our current political climate, particularly when it comes to national politics. Fortunately, on the local level there are great examples of communities working together to make progress on important challenges.
As moderator of a session at the IS National Conference last week in New York, I had the good fortune to learn about rich opportunities for people to participate in community problem-solving.
The format was a new one for me: a Pecha Kucha session in which presenters talk in front of slides of evocative images, with 20 slides appearing for 20 seconds each. The result was a rich, non-stop panorama of some of New Yorks most successful efforts to foster inclusion and combat alienation and powerlessness. See the slides here.
For example, young people in juvenile justice centers compose and perform their own music thanks to the efforts of the Carnegie Halls Musical Connections program. Some of the creative work that happens in juvenile justice settings this year will be performed at Carnegie Hall. NGen award winner Sarah Johnsons slides told the novel story about this program, which also serves people in health care facilities and homeless shelters.
Brooklyn-based Urban Bush Women troupe uses dance and movement to commemorate tragedy and help communities heal. Maria Baumans slides told the story of how the troupe marked the fiftieth anniversary of the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, which killed four young girls during the height of the civil-and-voting-rights movement.
Each year, a new class of fellows from Coro New York's Immigrant Civic Leadership Program works in diverse communities, at City Hall, and with business leaders to lead change across the five boroughs. As the faces of Coro fellows filled the screen, Scott Millstein explained how they, with support from a strong alumni network, gain a deeper understanding of policy and decision making in the city.
In Brooklyn, the Red Hook Initiative was critical as the community responded to the devastation and strife caused by Hurricane Sandy. Jill Eisenhard brought to life RHIs history of bringing people together to solve problems and develop common ground. The efforts of RHI help create a neighborhood where all young people can pursue their dreams.
In a number of New York City neighborhoods, through a process called participatory budgeting, diverse community members work together to choose how to spend a portion of taxpayer funds in their neighborhoods. Sondra Youdelmans grassroots organization, Community Voices Heard, encourages more members of the New York City Council to adopt participatory budgeting in their districts. The result: local citizens are deciding how $1 million is spent in each of nine districts, bringing local democracy alive in the process.
For a native New Yorker, and for the president of an organization that has worked for decades to build a society in which progress triumphs over inertia and where public policy reflects the values and ideas of the people, it was an inspiring session. I hope others will learn from and support the organizations that shared their great work with us that day.>

Use hybrid suspend method by default with pm-utils/Linux (suspend to RAM and disk)
There is this nice method of suspending a computer to RAM (which is quick to suspend and resume, but still uses some battery) and after a given amount of time to disk, if it has not been waken up since then (e.g. after 15 minutes).
Ubuntu (and any other distribution using pm-utils) supports this via the pm-utils package and its pm-suspend-hybrid script.
Unfortunately this is not used by default (even hibernation is not available from the menu by default), but only normal suspend.
The following configuration snippet will make pm-utils use the "suspend_hybrid" method instead of "suspend" when being invoked:
You have to create a file like
/etc/pm/config.d/00-use-suspend-hybrid and add the following code (e.g. via
sudo -e /etc/pm/config.d/00-use-suspend-hybrid):
# Always use suspend_hybrid instead of suspend
if [ "$METHOD" = "suspend" ]; then
I came up with this solution after having asked for a method to do so at Ask Ubuntu.
This way hybrid suspend will be used automatically if you select e.g. "Suspend" from the menu or close your laptop's lid (both actions call
pm-suspend which then gets remapped).
You can configure the amount of time before hibernation (Suspend To Disk) is being invoked with the PM_HIBERNATE_DELAY variable (in seconds), which you can just configure in the same file, too:
# Always use suspend_hybrid instead of suspend
if [ "$METHOD" = "suspend" ]; then
PM_HIBERNATE_DELAY=300 # invoke hibernation to disk after 5 minutes (300 seconds)
You might want to make sure that the hybrid method is supported on your system via the following code. If it says "0" it should work:
sudo pm-is-supported --suspend-hybrid && echo $?
Happy suspending.
Update (2013-10-09): I have updated my own answer at AskUbuntu with another (really hybrid, often preferred method), which you can use with Linux 3.6+.

With a 160TB cluster and only a 30-60GB dataset, is there any reason why the user isn't simply storing their dataset in HDFS? Does the data change frequently via a non-MapReduce framework such that it needs to be pulled from NFS before every job? If the dataset is in a few dozen files and in HDFS in the cluster, there is no reason why MapReduce shouldn't spawn it's tasks directly "on" the data, without need (most of the time) for moving all of the data to every node as you mention. > The clients definitely see MUCH faster performance when access a local > copy instead of a small share of the performance/bandwidth of a central > file server. This makes perfect sense, and is in fact exactly what Hadoop already attempts to do by trying to co-locate MapReduce tasks with pre-placed data in HDFS. Hadoop tries to move the computation to the data in this case, rather than what you are trying to do: Move the data to the computation, which tends to be /way/ harder unless you've got killer storage. All of this said, it is unclear from your email whether this user is using Hadoop or if that was just a side-node and they are operating in a totally different cluster with a different framework (MPI?). Best, ellis

On the other hand, perhaps you want your space to look cozier (and you need some storage). Stash baskets, trunks and old suitcases under simple legged coffee tables to ground spaces that are otherwise too open. Solid tabletops usually have a very square corner. If you have little kids or the circulation is tight, allow extra space at the ends so it's easier to get around the corners without hitting your shins. Go for color with an upholstered coffee table, as it will draw people to the surrounding sofas and chairs. Top it with a tray to hold books and other items. Choose your fabric wisely, since people may want to put up their feet (and shoes). Outdoor fabrics can be smart; steer clear of linen and fabrics with high amounts of rayon or viscose. Take a swatch home and test it out with dirt, red wine or whatever you think your coffee table will encounter, to make sure your fabric choice can handle it all.
If you don't want the coffee table to be the focus of the room, choose one with a glass top and a finish that blends with others in the room, as in this example. This will keep the eye interested in all the items in the room, not just one layer of the design. Metal bases with glass tops are another good choice to keep rooms feeling open. They're also great when you have a special rug and don't want to block views of it. Keep your glass cleaner handy, though, as there is no way around fingerprints. Keep in mind that with most glass tops — if they are not inset — you'll see a green tint on the sides. You can order a speciality glass that doesn't have this tint, but it's more expensive.
Sealers and, of course, coasters can help protect the surface from water damage. Sometimes a coffee table that isn't the standard height or width is exactly what a room needs. In this instance a very low coffee table creates a crisp horizontal plane in the foreground, offsetting the long horizontal line of the credenza in the background. A higher table would have blocked the view of the credenza and competed with it; the varying heights add interest.
When you have two sofas or any larger seating arrangement, a big coffee table might seem like the obvious solution. But also consider a pair of matching coffee tables. They will keep the focus off one large piece of furniture and let your eye move around the room more easily. One classic coffee table size is 48 by 24 inches, so you can plan on that when thinking about your furniture arrangement. A large coffee table is often double that: 48 inches square.

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

What I like about Philsophy's skincare line is that it's as simple or as complex as you want to make it. Someone with normal skin can use just Purity and Hope in a Jar and have beautiful skin. Someone with sun damage, age spots, etc. can incorporate the advanced skincare products and see dramatic results. I don't have overly problematic skin – a few pimples here, some redness there, but nothing major. But I can tell you that my skin looks better now than it ever has, even when I was 15 and fresh as a friggin' daisy.
Purity Made Simple is hands down the best cleanser I have ever used. I rarely re-purchase skincare products and I'm on my fifth bottle of this. It melts away eye makeup without irritating my eyeballs, gets my face clean and fresh without stripping off the good stuff, and basically just does its job. Like all Philosophy products, people either love Purity or hate it. Personally, I won't use anything else on my skin.
I'm on my third or fourth jar of Hope in a Jar so I obviously like it. I think it's spendy for a moisturizer but it's the only one I've come across that works for me without throwing my skin into an uproar. It does leave a slight film but it's nothing a little powder won't fix (Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil for me, thank you). I really love how nicely it moisturizers after a good exfoliation. My skin just loves it. The only downside for me is the smell. I've gotten used to it but at first, it smells a little like milk that's been sitting out.
I'm only 26 so, if anything, I use Hope in a Tube eye cream as a preventative measure. I smoke and have a tendency to squint my eyes so it's probably in my best interest to use a cream just for that area. I got Hope in a Tube in a kit from QVC, it's probably not something I'd pick up on its own. I've only been using this for a short time so I can't attest to the long term benefits, or if it's effective if you already have fine lines. However, I can say that it doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes, it's nice and thick, and if you pat it on gently and just let it do its thing, it sinks in nicely. My skin seems to like it but your mileage, as always, will vary.
I'm always astounded at how my skin feels after using the Microdelivery Peel kit. I'm a devoted exfoliator and I've tried both manual scrubs and chemical peels. This product combines both and it's just fantastic, smells great too. The kit retails for $65 so it's definitely a splurge but if your skin needs some major resurfacing, this is it. Your skin will feel as smooth as a silk after using this. This product gets a huge rave from me.

The author captured the story of Loyabi, in Chhaor Union Parishad. This is her story of how she provided her family with access to better sanitation and improved their futures.
"I will teach my children how to read and write regardless of my difficulties in doing so."
My name is Loyabi and I come from a very poor family of Mahadanga village in Chhaor Union Parishad. I was married to Abul Hassan, a man from my own village, at the age of 15. For several years our poverty did not prevent us from being happy. We were blessed with two daughters and two sons. However, when my husband was diagnosed with gallstones, I found I had to raise Taka 50,000/- ($630) for his operation.
We had no land of our own and lived on common land. I was able to collect some money by asking for assistance in different villages. I worked as a mid-wife for humans as well as cattle, bathed dead bodies before their burial and somehow put together the required amount of money to get my husband's operation done.

You should have a burglar alarm fitted on your house. An alarm puts off thieves and gets them to leave without exploring the rest of the house. There are two types of alarm systems:
Remote signalling alarms (Type A alarms)
- The alarm automatically informs a monitoring station who notify the police.
- You can give a password to stop a false alarm.
- Always enquire about any additional annual charge for the monitoring service.
- We will only attend alarms installed by companies approved by the two main regulatory bodies: National Security Inspectorate (NSI) and the Security Systems and Alarm Inspection Board (SSAIB)
Audible only alarms (Type B alarms)
If a thief sets off the alarm - or you press a personal attack button – the alarm instantly rings.
- This system then relies on someone hearing the noise and calling the police.
- Due to the number of false alarms, there needs to be additional information that a burglary is taking place to get police attendance. This could be the sound of breaking glass, seeing a suspicious person or an unusual light. We do not rely just on the alarm system itself.
Shed Alarms
- Our sheds are used to house lots of items attractive to thieves and many things in your shed can be used to break into your home or even that of your neighbours. Fitting a Shed Alarm gives you and your neighbours a warning and can deter thieves. This video shows you how effective a shed alarm can be...
- Greater Manchester Police have produced a series of '60 Second Security' videos on simple security advice. They provide easy step-by-step tips, including advice on products and how to install and use them, helping to make you and your property that little bit safer
Which alarm company?
Most people choose an alarm company recognised by their insurance company. You should also check the NSI and SSAIB websites before making a decision. Make sure you ask the following questions:
- Is alarm installation a requirement of my insurance company? Is the company acceptable to my insurer?
- Before disclosing personal security details: have I checked the address and credentials of the company? Have I seen proof of identity from their representative?
- Is the company approved by an independent inspector? By which organisation?
- Have I got written quotes from at least three alarm installers?
- Do the quotes include the terms of maintenance and monitoring contracts?
- Can the company provide me with a list of police rules for occupiers of premises with alarms?
- Remote signalling alarms: can the company provide written confirmation that the alarm and the company are acceptable to the local police for the transmission of alarm messages from new installations?
- Does the quote specify that the installation will be to British Standards BS 4737 or BS 7042 (high security systems) standard?
- Do they operate a 24-hour call-out service and emergency attendance within four hours?
Personal attack buttons
- Personal attack buttons in the home shouldn't be used as an easy way to summon police unless you are unable to get to the phone without putting yourself in danger.
Check your contract
- Check whether you own or rent the system. Also see how much the system costs to maintain.
False alarms
- False calls will result in the alarm response being withdrawn by the police. This may affect your insurance cover. False calls can cause a loss of credibility with neighbours who may stop taking any notice of your alarm.

Though fans of the reality TV show "The Bachelorette" will have to wait until Dec. 16 to see the televised version of it, it's official: season seven "Bachelorette" and Madawaska native Ashley Hebert has married her fiance, J.P. Rosenbaum. The couple were wed in a ceremony in Pasadena, CA, on Saturday.
Hebert is one of a select few "Bachelorettes" and "Bachelors" to actually take the plunge; most of the couples created from the ABC reality shows have not weathered the storm. Hebert, a dentist, first vied for Brad Womack's heart on "The Bachelor." She then met Rosenbaum, a 35-year-old construction manager, on the seventh season of "The Bachelorette." They got engaged during the show's finale.
Hebert wore a long, strapless wedding dress, and walked down the aisle to a piano rendition of "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You." Hebert's maid of honor was her sister, Chrystie Corns, and a bridesmaid was fellow "Bachelor" contestant Ashley Spivey. Groomsmen were Rosenbaum's brother and Ashley's brother. The wedding will be televised as a two-hour special set for Monday, Dec. 16 on ABC.

500+ Snow Tickets Written by Sioux Falls Police
Police officers wrote more than 500 tickets for vehicles that were parked in the way of snowplows in Sioux Falls this week.
Police spokesman Sam Clemens says 506 tickets were written between the Snow Alert declaration on Wednesday and 6am Friday.
Clemens says officers begin writing tickets after streets and roads have been plowed, so the vehicles ticketed are those that were plowed in.
As he puts it, "It's not that we're going out and yanking cars off the street."
He says the 506 tickets were all written by police officers, while the Parking Patrol also issues tickets which are not included in the total.
A ticket carries a fine of $35, which increases to $70 if the ticket is not paid after three days.

|The allowable error in attribute accuracy ranges between a 1% allowable error to 5% error. For this product attribute accuracy ranges between a 1% to 5% error. For this product attribute accuracy is a measure of the degree to which features and attribute values of spatial objects agree with the information on the source material. The planimetric accuracy attainable will be the sum of errors from three sources:the positional accuracy of the source material, errors due to the conversion process, errors due to the manipulation process. For topographic base derived data this represents an error of 8.3m on the ground for 1:25,000 data. A conservative estimate of 10m for the standard deviation will be used in any data quality information. Alternate and equal ways of expressing this error are: not more than 10% of well-defined points will be in error by more than 16 m. The worst case error for the data is +/- 30 m. For vertical positional accuracy of points determined from contours there is an expectation that the elevation accuracy (standard deviation) will be half the value of the contour interval.

University College Dublin students and staff save time and increase sharing with G Suite
Students and staff at University College Dublin (UCD) need fast, easy access to email and documents, no matter where they are at the school's Dublin, Ireland campus. UCD chose Gmail for its combination of intuitive tools and low-key maintenance by IT. The campus community then adopted other G Suite tools such as Google Hangouts, Google Slides and Sheets to share class presentations and lesson plans.
To keep students, faculty, and staff connected to each other and to online resources, University College Dublin must offer easy access to email, and productivity tools–without increasing the burden on IT. "We have to provide a very open network, which isn't tied to a particular device, and where everything works off of wireless," says Brian Morrissey, the college's Head of Web Services. With 32,000 students and 6,000 staff, there can be as many as 40,000 computers, tablets, and smartphones on the campus network, using email and sharing documents. "Our campus community wants always-on capability, and doesn't want to worry about registering their devices or connecting to email," Morrissey says.
The university's Sunmail email system was labor-intensive for Morrissey and his IT colleagues, and not very user-friendly for students and staff. "It was an expensive draw on resources in terms of cost and management–both things we try to avoid," Morrissey says. IT staff had to maintain and monitor several large email servers, as well as spam and antivirus software running on even more servers. Students and staff complained about the limited account quotas, which forced them to delete messages often. "We were looking at a six-figure sum to renew the architecture for a system that was still behind the curve in terms of features," Morrissey says. The IT team decided to switch to a cloud-based email system that would be easy to implement and manage.
"The big driver for choosing Google was that Gmail was reliable, always on, and intuitive for people to use."
Brian Morrissey, Head of Web Services, University College Dublin
Easing migration with on-site help desks
UCD chose Gmail to replace the aging, cumbersome email system. "The big driver for choosing Google was that Gmail was reliable, always on, and intuitive for people to use," Morrissey says. "It's a familiar interface for everyone."
To make sure the switch to Google was successful, Morrissey and his colleagues migrated staff and students' email messages to Gmail on a department-by-department basis, then set up temporary help desks within those departments. "We'd work in the offices with staff, or near the concourses where students walked by," Morrissey says. "We spent a lot of time on customer engagement, which was a big investment–but we think it paid off as people quickly switched to the new email system."
As students and staff adjusted to Gmail, they also discovered other G Suite tools such as Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Google+. "This took us by surprise, as we were focused on email," Morrissey says. Staff and faculty realized that G Suite was easier to use than other productivity tools, since G Suite could be accessed by any device. Google Calendar was a game changer, Morrissey says. Previously, university departments used a variety of calendaring apps, so there was no consistent way to alert students to changes in class times or professors' office hours.
Creative ideas for saving time and sharing teaching strategies
UCD staff found creative ways to use G Suite to replace time-consuming processes, and more easily connect with each other and with students. Faculty created the UCD Teaching and Learning Community on Google+, which allows them to post ideas about improving the learning experience and get feedback from other educators. "If we tried to do this without Google, we'd probably have far less engagement than we do now," Morrissey says. In addition, the IT department replaced an email list with its own Google+ community, which is used to share presentations about new technology initiatives.
At the UCD School of Veterinary Medicine, staff and faculty use G Suite to plan lessons. Faculty asked Web Services Team leader Matthew Hynes for better ways to share class curricula, so they could avoid duplicating topics from course to course. Hynes suggested that teachers use a master spreadsheet in Google Sheets, containing lessons for every veterinary school class. Using Google Sites, Hynes created a website that pulls data from the master spreadsheet and displays charts that highlight which topics are being taught and when.
In addition to encouraging creative ways to save time and improve teaching, the switch to Google also saves money for UCD. Morrissey states the university has saved a significant six figure sum by eliminating hardware and maintenance for the old email solution, as well as costs for antivirus and spam solutions that are not needed with Gmail.
"We don't get calls about people having trouble connecting to email, or about storage," Morrissey says. "With Gmail, concerns about exceeding quotas have disappeared."

Coat, Service, Royal Air Force

- View Full Item
- Description
Royal Air Force (RAF) tan wool service coat; single breasted with open collar; 3 brass buttons down front with embossed Royal Air Force eagle surmounded by the King's (Tudor) crown; attached belt with brass frame buckle; two upper flap pockets pockets with box pleat; two lower flap pockets; two standard width lace Captain's rank bands on each cuff; embroidered Royal Air Force pilot's badge over left breast pocket (white embroidered wings on black felt, text "RAF" in center of badge surrounded by brown wreath, Tudor (King's) crown surmounts RAF); British War Medal ribbon and World War I Victory medal ribbon below pilot's badge; embroidered manufacturer's on inside collar (see Marks for full text).
This is an example of a standard issue Royal Air Force service coat issued at the end of the World War I. The use of the standard army pattern continued with updated RAF insignia replacing those of the Royal Flying Corps. The RAF officially adopted the familiar blue gray color on September 15, 1919 but the use of the khaki army pattern continued to be used until 1924.
This coat was worn by Lt. Wes D. Archer, Royal Air Force, during World War I. Archer was born in the United States, but traveled to Great Britain to join the Royal Flying Corps in 1917. He served during World War I until his S.E.5 aircraft was shot down by German ground fire on October 9, 1918. A bullet almost reached his heart, but was stopped by his .45 caliber pistol which is now in NASM's collection (Ref: A19830217000). Archer is perhaps more famous for pulling off one of the biggest photographic hoaxes ever produced.
Upon his return to the U.S. in 1920, Archer became a set designer and worked on movie productions. He and his wife, Betty, moved to Nyack, New York in 1927. There, Archer honed his model building skills and assembled numerous replicas of World War I aircraft such as Fokkers, Albatrosses, S.E.5s and Nieuports. With these models and a camera, Archer fabricated aerial combat photographs. People thought they were authentic and boasted them as the best aerial combat pictures ever taken. G.P. Putnam's Sons publishing house in New York featured his photographs in an exhibition of aviation art titled, "The World in the Air." The popularity of the photographs increased when the book, Death in the Air: The War Diary and Photographs of a Flying Corps Pilot, written by Archer himself, was published in 1933. In it he created personas and a story about a RFC pilot who took a camera from a downed German aircraft and rigged it under his wing in order to take the pictures. The pilot had to conceal his identity because it was against RFC regulations to take unofficial photos of combat. Betty participated in the hoax by posing as Gladys Maud Cockburn-Lange. She sold the photographs, known as the Cockburn-Lange collection, to numerous individuals and publishing companies and assisted in the promotion of the book.
Interest in the photograph collection faded with the advent of World War II. Archer held a job for a short time in 1945 as an associate editor for Scientific American. In 1952, the Archer's moved to Havana, Cuba where Wesley died in 1955. Betty took the secret of the photographs with her when she died in 1959. The truth about the Archer's hoax was discovered in the 1980's by Peter Grosz when the museum received the collection from Archer's friend, John Charlton.

Oilers 1, Ducks 3 – Game 44 – 2013-04-21 @ 6:30 PM MST – SNETW
The Oilers are back at home after a super short, 1 game road trip. They will face the Anaheim Ducks at home today, and again tomorrow (also at home). I don't expect this to be too pretty of a set of games, as they face the #3 team in the league.
Word just came down that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is going to be evaluated in Cleveland. It's pretty much a given that he is done for the year and will require surgery on his shoulder. The expected heal time for this is 6 months, which puts us into late October, which will mean he'll miss training camp and the start of the season next year. Definitely not good news… but if his shoulder has been a problem for a while and hindering his season, this will hopefully help him get back to form again. The Oilers will take some heat over this being overdue.. wouldn't be the first time we've heard this. Not sure if they should take the blame here or not… hard to say how much rests on the player and how much on the team, and if they were putting the Nugget at more risk by playing him through the shoulder injury and delaying surgery. Word is that it's been a nagging injury since junior, so it's similar to Taylor Hall's story.
Anyways, Hartikainen will draw back in. Lander will fill in for the Nuge on line 2 with Paajarvi and Eberle. That has more potential to be dangerous for the wrong reasons, but it will be a good view at what Lander is capable of. Our top line better have a good game.. because the potential significantly drops off after that line.

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are closing in on a deal to grant the Food and Drug Administration more authority over the type of drugs that caused a deadly outbreak of meningitis last year, advocates close to the issue said Tuesday.
Though details of the proposal remain fluid, House and Senate negotiators have been talking for weeks and appear to be making progress toward stiffer regulations. The effort comes nearly a year after a Massachusetts compounding pharmacy recalled contaminated steroids that led to the outbreak.
Sixty-four people who received those steroid injections died, including three in Maryland. Hundreds more were injured.
"They've seen the problem, and they're moving forward to protect public health," said Tommy Thompson, a former secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Now a drug company executive, he leads an advocacy group supporting new standards.
The drugs at issue are made by compounding pharmacies, traditionally small operations which have tailored therapies for specific patients, such as by removing an ingredient from a drug if a patient is allergic to it. There's little desire to change the rules for those pharmacists.
But the practice has increasingly been used to make drugs that are supplied to physicians and hospitals for a much wider distribution, often across state lines.
Officials at the Silver Spring-based FDA have said that conflicting federal court decisions limit the agency's ability to regulate those larger compounding facilities and the drugs they produce.
Congress has been debating how to improve oversight for months.
A Senate committee approved a bipartisan bill in June that would require large compounding pharmacies to register with the FDA and pay an annual fee, which the agency would then use to increase inspections. The proposal also limits the types of drugs that could be compounded.
House lawmakers unveiled their own legislation earlier this month. The proposal clarifies the FDA's ability to regulate large pharmacies and creates a notification system to ensure the FDA responds to complaints made by state regulators.
The House bill, which also has bipartisan support, has received a warmer reception from groups that represent compounding pharmacists.
"The House took a substantially different approach," said David G. Miller, executive vice president and CEO of the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists.
"They started with the existing law [while] the Senate essentially started from scratch" and created new rules the group has argued could complicate oversight.
Since then, lawmakers in both chambers have been trying to find a middle ground between the two bills. While Miller said they have made progress, he cautioned that many stakeholders had not yet seen a draft of the latest proposal.
Several patient advocate groups have called on Congress to pass laws to prevent future outbreaks. Those groups also want lawmakers to include language that would make it easier to track drugs as they move through the supply chain.
"Meaningful policy is going to move a number of large scale [compounding] facilities under FDA oversight," said Gabrielle Cosel, manager of the drug safety project for the Pew Charitable Trusts. "We think that's the key."
Negotiations over the bill have captured significant interest from industry lobbyists — and not just from the pharmacists. Traditional pharmaceutical companies are concerned that the compound drugs are undercutting their own drugs without being subjected to the same rigorous FDA review.
About 750 people were injured in last year's outbreak nationwide, including more than two dozen in Maryland. Though the incident has largely faded from view, those affected continue to struggle with harrowing medical conditions.
Angel Farthing, a high school counselor from Abingdon, got a steroid shot in August 2012 for sciatic nerve pain. The tainted injection not only led to meningitis but also a related stroke, aneurysm and spinal abscesses. She's endured several hospital stays and surgeries since then.
The powerful drugs used to treat the infection caused the 42-year-old to lose much of her hair. The pain also forced the part-time fitness instructor to end the workout routines that likely had made her body strong enough to survive the meningitis.
"Even with all the medication, it does not stop the pain," she said, adding that she feels lucky because she's been well enough to return to work. "I'm really just left with sucking it up and hurting."
Farthing said it would be helpful if Congress could approve regulations to prevent a similar outbreak, though she's skeptical of how much the government can do.
"I feel like compounding is so big, I don't see how the government can take on the role of overseeing it," she said.
Maryland had aggressive laws in place prior to last year's outbreak, but the General Assembly approved a more comprehensive law this year. Those new regulations require pharmacies that make injectable drugs to receive additional permits.
And the new law requires out-of-state compounding pharmacies making drugs that aren't tailored for a specific patient to get a waiver from Maryland's pharmacy board before selling their product in the state.
An FDA spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment. Janet Woodcock, director of the agency's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, told lawmakers in July that the FDA was doing what it could but that it needed Congress to act.
"It is a matter of when, not if, another contamination incident will occur with compounded products," she said.

A man who choked someone got his job back. He played basketball for a professional team. The league told him he could not play after he hit and choked his coach. If he can stop from getting angry, the player can play again.
The league made the decision to let him play again. He said that the team and the league can not punish the player for the same act. Such a thing has never happened before.
Some people are not happy the player got his job back. The owner of the team was shocked. A league leader said that in other jobs a person would get fired for choking his boss. A person on the street said basketball players are paid to be role models. They should behave themselves.
Some people want him to come back. A player on the team said he would not mind if the player helps the team win. Another player said the player got some money back but others will not respect him. A person on the street thought that the coach was to blame.
The player had to stop playing for 68 days. It was the longest in basketball history. The team will have to pay him the rest of his salary. He will lose more than six and a half million dollars.

Arthur Siegal wrote in using the "share your story" link on the Changing Gears website. He told us about an effort he was involved in that seeks to interest young Jewish kids in Detroit and connect them with leaders in the community, and internships, as a way of keeping them in the city. We put together a story focusing on the effort that also explored how the Jewish population in Detroit, and the state as a whole, has changed over the years. It is a community that does not get much attention in the media, particularly in stories about the rebirth of Detroit.

Dawn Hammontree wrote in to share her story, she wanted to talk about her hobbies, knitting and re-enactments, and she also mentioned she almost lost her house. I followed up with her to ask her more about what led her to almost foreclosure and how she got out. She revealed that three days before she was set to lose her house she got a reprieve from the bank. She had finally found a job. She works for a company that maintains foreclosed companies for the banks who now owns them. This story turned into an entire feature on this industry, with Dawns' story at the center.
Aug. 25, 2011
This story came in through our generic "share your story" link. It was a submission by Gary Stock that was more of a rant about how the state of Michigan was backwards. The submission did mention that Gary was a small business owner and thinking of leaving the state. I followed up with him convinced I could get a good story out of him. It turned out he had a lot of very interesting things to say about what the state has to offer, it's drawbacks, and what keeps him here.

Jerry Berta wrote in to share his story around the time of the Ann Arbor Art Fair. I followed up with him to find out how he was doing as an artist in these economic times. He was a very successful artist but was impacted by the recession. He's now training to become a secondary school art teacher. With his story we were able to cover an annual event in an interesting way, and tie it back to education and even the auto industry.
Jul. 14, 2011
This is one of my favorite "Your Story" features. Michelle wrote in and made it clear she's in a great position, as the head of a childcare center, to spot economic trends. We had a great conversation about her economic concerns and the stress of running a business with such tight margins.
Aug. 01, 2011
Andy wrote in through our general share your story link. He runs a website dedicated to singing the praises of the Midwest. His story is an interesting one about what keeps young people in the state, and what he's sees the Midwest offering. It was a really popular story, getting more comments than most stories on our site.
Jul. 18, 2011
We send out a ton of queries having to do with manufacturing. Unfortunately, we get very few responses. However, because of our coverage Bill Rayl sent in his insights through our generic share your story link. He runs an association of manufacturers in Michigan. When one of our reporters got the opportunity to meet with the ex-manufacturing czar Ron Bloom, we were able to add Bill to this story to examine what manufacturers really want from a national manufacturing policy. It was a perspective we really needed in the story.

Nick Cucinelli wrote in using our "share your story" form to tell us about an advanced battery show he was hoping we would cover. It wasn't a fit for Changing Gears, but Michigan Radio's host of the Environment Report was going to the show. She connected with Nick at the show and said he was invaluable. The information presented was highly technical, and he was able to break it down and make it understandable for listeners.
Oct. 27, 2011
Danielle sent in an answer to a query to share how she has made her business work on very little income. It was such a great story and the Changing Gears team wasn't able to cover it. So I sent it to Michigan Radio's arts reporter, and she did a wonderful job with the story.

This piece is based on the experiences of Wendy Whitmore, who retrained her staff to break into a new industry. We were also able to use another PIN source to learn more about Michigan's retraining programs and who is directly involved with workforce development in the state. The story was almost entirely sourced through PIN.
Mar. 28, 2012
We featured Jennifer Knightstep, who took advantage of funding through Michigan's No Worker Left Behind program to go back to school and get her associate's degree. Her story added depth to our ongoing retraining coverage.
Apr. 03, 2012
Using the "share a story idea" form on michiganradio.org, someone wrote to tell us about an anti-bullying smartphone app. The PIN source was featured in a weekly morning segment, "Seeking Change," about community activism.

Kim Suchek contacted me about a book she wrote to help military families connect with resources. We spoke and developed the frame of the story into how military families cope with the stress and trauma that come along with their life. Suchek connected me with other military wives for a roundtable discussion that led to this story.

Seven Syrians wounded in fighting in that country's civil war entered Israel today and received medical treatment. The seven were wounded when Syrian troops bombarded the demilitarized zone near Israel on Saturday in reprisal for rebel action nearby. They arrived at the Syrian-Israeli border fence, where IDF soldiers administered first aid on the spot. The seven were then rushed to Ziv Medical Center in Safed in Northern Israel for additional treatment.
Israel has made it clear that it will not permit Syrian refugees to enter the country en masse. However, as the latest incident confirms, it will allow Syrians into Israel "in special humanitarian cases" to be determined "on a case-by-case basis."
This policy is sensible and humane. But don't expect Israel to receive credit for its willingness to provide medical treatment to the seven wounded individuals who, for all the IDF knows, might take up arms against Israel if the circumstances were right.
Indeed, don't expect the story to be reported outside of Israel.
