text:
The Detroit Lions have been discussing a contract extension with quarterback Matthew Stafford since the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine in February. If progress isn't made toward a deal, though, Lions president Tom Lewand suggested talks will be tabled until after the 2013 season.
"We've still got some discussion to have, but at some point in time we'll either get a deal done or we'll focus on football," Lewand said Saturday via the Detroit Free Press. "It's a different dynamic when you have two years left on a contract versus one. Most of them get done with a year left."
This is a sticky negotiation. Lewand realizes Stafford isn't going to take less money to extend, especially when he holds leverage with a $19.3 million salary-cap hit in 2014. The Lions have to be careful not to tie up too much of the salary cap in mega deals for Stafford and Calvin Johnson going forward. Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh will be due for his own extension next offseason, though the Lions have not yet begun talks with the lineman's agent.
Stafford won't land a contract on par with Aaron Rodgers' five-year, $110 million deal. But he might have his sights set on Joe Flacco's $29 million signing bonus after averaging more than 5,000 passing yards over the past two seasons.

Basic Energy Sciences (BES)
Research Leading to Predictive Theory and Modeling for Materials and Chemical Sciences
BES supports fundamental research to understand, predict, and ultimately control matter and energy at the electronic, atomic, and molecular levels and fundamental research which provides the foundations for new energy technologies relevant to DOE's missions in energy, environment and national security. The research disciplines that the BES program supports - materials sciences and engineering, chemistry, geosciences, and aspects of physical biosciences - are those that discover new materials and design new chemical processes. These disciplines touch virtually every aspect of energy resources, production, conversion, transmission, storage, efficiency, and waste mitigation. Representative examples include the development of light weight materials and more efficient combustion for transportation, the discovery of new materials and electrochemistries for energy storage, more efficient conversion of solar energy to electricity and fuels, and broadening the science basis for advanced nuclear energy systems.
For FY 2012, BES has an interest in enhancing support for research which could lead to a theory/modeling design paradigm, validated through experiment, which could enhance the rate of discovery of new or vastly improved materials, material systems, and chemical processes.
We envision the BES activities will include the development of new software tools and data standards that catalyze a fully integrated approach from material discovery to applications. BES also expects to support research to advance ab-initio methods for materials and chemical processes, provide user friendly software which captures the essential physics and chemistry of relevant systems, and harness the power of modern experimental techniques from free electron lasers, x-ray and neutron scattering facilities, and electron microscopy centers. Sophisticated data mining techniques for both simulated and experimental data will be important to the success of these activities.
As background for this expression of interest, refer to the recently announced Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) [1], BES sponsored workshops held in the past two years [2-4], and the series of BES Basic Research Needs Reports [5]. These workshops have outlined a number of priority research directions for BES related to predictive theory and modeling.
Progress in many energy use-inspired research areas is limited by currently available materials and chemical processes and has the potential to be fundamentally altered by the predictive theory and software capabilities. General research priorities include:
Representative Technical Areas of Interest
Within the general research priorities described above, there are specific areas of interest that represent the type of projects that would meet the criteria of this expression of interest. These are representative examples only, not an exhaustive list. The proposed work should be coupled to any of the energy-use inspired research areas.
Electron Correlation
: Many materials of importance to BES goals contain localized electrons which are not well described by the widely used Density Functional Theory (DFT). This includes oxide superconductors, magnetic materials, and photocatalysts. We anticipate support for projects which improve the description of these materials through the implementation and further development of ab-initio methods.
Excited States
: Excited electronic states, and their coupling to the environment, play a critical role in many energy related processes. Improved descriptions of excited states would impact photovoltaic materials, exciton transport in organic semiconductors, and light absorption in photo-catalysts. They would also provide a fundamental understanding of chemical reactivity enabling validated theories, models and computational tools for predicting rates, products, and dynamics of chemical processes involved in energy utilization and transformations. Thus, we anticipate support for projects which lead to improved descriptions of excited states.
Multiple Length and Time Scales
: Extending the length and time scale for material properties and dynamical processes is important. New methods are required for mechanical properties, ductility, grain boundaries, radiation damage, and fatigue and for the design and synthesis of fuels and chemicals, the understanding of interfacial- and electro-chemistry, and bio-inspired materials. Projects which couple length scales, advance multi-scale modeling, or extend the time scale for dynamical simulations would be appropriate.
: It remains a challenge to describe electron and ion transport quantitatively, especially in nanometer-sized materials. Proper descriptions would have important implications for the photovoltaic conversion of sunlight to fuels or electricity and electrochemical energy storage. Further a fundamental understanding of non-equilibrium and driven processes is important. Projects which advance the theoretical understanding of non-equilibrium effects in transport or provide validated algorithms for transport properties would be appropriate.
Novel Approaches
: BES is interested in significantly accelerating the transition from optimization of materials based on performance-property correlations to optimization of materials based on their desired functionality. Efforts that utilize simulation and digital data in novel ways, such as "inverse design", "genetic algorithms" or scanning large data sets including those with mixed theoretical and experimental data would be appropriate.
Coupling Chemistry and Turbulent Flow:
BES is interested in the fundamental science associated with the interaction of complex chemistry and turbulent flow that currently limits our ability to simulate combustion processes. Of particular note are two central issues that have been identified as required to advance the state of the art for predictive simulation of internal combustion engines: the dynamics of fuel-injection sprays and stochastic combustion processes.
Estimated Funding
It is expected that BES will provide up to $12 million per year for the following three activities:
Small groups or single investigators
: Awards, for up to 3-years, for projects that address one or more of the following:
"Glue" funding
: Awards, for up to 3-years, will be made to support collaborations between funded BES activities through shared postdoctoral staff, short-term exchange of principal investigators, capability development, and related activities to:
Centers for materials or chemical sciences software innovation
: Up to 4 awards, each funded at a maximum of $2M per year for 3 years, for research and supporting activities that will:
Center applications may request up to an additional $1M for equipment acquisition beyond research support for the first year (i.e., a total of up to $3M for the first year only). For center awards, a 2-year extension of the initial 3-year award will be considered for a total of a 5-year performance period. Out-year funding will depend upon suitable progress and the availability of appropriated funds. Funding for the final two years is contingent upon satisfactory completion of a progress review during the third year of the project. Applications should present a balanced scientific and technical agenda that significantly facilitates large-scale community involvement and creates useable and sustainable tools. Centers are to be "virtual" in the sense that no funding will be provided for the construction of new facilities or improvements to existing laboratory/computational/office space.
Pre-applications are required and must be submitted by March 1, 2012.
The cover page for the preliminary proposal must identify a lead Principal Investigator (PI) and any additional senior investigators, including their institution, address, telephone and email address. TO HELP WITH THE EXCEEDINGLY SHORT TURN AROUND ANTICIPATED, THE COVER PAGE MUST FOLLOW THE FORMAT DESCRIBED AT THE END OF THIS DOCUMENT. Preliminary proposals (exclusive of the cover page, list of referenced literature, CVs and estimated budget) are limited to a maximum of 3 pages (5 pages for the Software Centers). No appendices are allowed. The 3 page document should include the following information:
Additional pages should provide:
The timeline for the applications is as follows.
Review Criteria
All proposals submitted to BES undergo Peer Review: http://science.energy.gov/bes/funding-opportunities/peer-review-policies/ In view of this special focus, review of the proposals is based on the standard DOE criteria applicable to all DOE proposals (10 CFR 605) and additional factors relevant for achieving the goals of the initiative (see bullets below).
Scientific and/or technical merit of the project
Appropriateness of the proposed method or approach
Competency of the personnel and adequacy of proposed resources
Reasonableness and appropriateness of the proposed budget

Radio: The other air war
A torrent of ads is flooding TV sets in the final days of Election 2012 — and fact-checkers, reporters and pundits are poring over nearly every one.
But there's another, less-noticed air war.
Story Continued Below
Barack Obama, Mitt Romney and their allies have also unleashed a flood of radio ads, which usually get little scrutiny. Yet industry insiders say the radio spots actually could be more influential at this late stage, as the eyes of swing-state voters glaze over after months of near-constant television ads.
( Also on POLITICO: Listen to 10 presidential race radio ads)
Radio allows campaigns, super PACs and other players to tailor messages to specific audiences on issues that play to the base, such as gay marriage, mammograms and defense cuts. It also lets them roll out edgier ads at a relatively low cost, including a rap artist-backed spot about "disrespect" of Obama and one from a religious conservative group claiming that Obama denied America's Christian heritage during a visit to a Muslim nation.
Several industry sources said they expect spending on political ads for radio to set a record this year, though they cautioned that final figures are hard to predict because so much of the money is spent close to the election.
( PHOTOS: Final countdown to Election Day)
"There's less clutter on radio than on TV," said Evan Tracey, who founded a firm that tracks political ad buys, the Campaign Media Analysis Group. "It's a crowded room problem. Everybody's in the room yelling something different, and that's particularly true in the battleground states. … In Las Vegas, there have been something like 73,000 political TV ads. That's a very crowded room."
Tracey, who teaches at George Washington University, called radio "kind of the original microtargeting and social media."
( Also on POLITICO: Full coverage of the 2012 race)
"The reason people are still buying radio is because it works," he said. "Radio allows you to target with selectivity."
Historically, radio has been the place where incendiary ads often slip under the mainstream media's radar in the last days before an election. One exception came this week, when the press and major automakers challenged the accuracy of a radio ad Romney is running in Ohio. The spot — a harder-hitting version of one airing on television — implies that Obama's bailout of the auto industry helped General Motors shift 15,000 jobs from the U.S. to China.
Obama's radio spots are often less mainstream than their TV counterparts and sometimes focus on issues ignored or glossed over on television.
One Obama radio ad aired earlier this month opens with a reference to the president's support for gay marriage, a position he adopted in May and does not prominently feature in TV commercials.
"What are you going to tell them? You were just too busy? You didn't think it mattered? Is that what you're going to tell your friends who can't get married? The ones who couldn't serve openly in the military?" a young woman says in the Obama radio spot running on Top 40 stations and other music formats popular with young people. "You're going to tell them they can't make decisions about their own bodies anymore because you didn't think your vote counted?"

Cole to win 100th cap - Hodgson
England coach Roy Hodgson has confirmed Ashley Cole will start Wednesday's friendly against Brazil and earn his 100th cap.
The Chelsea left-back will become the seventh player to make 100 England appearances, following in the footsteps of Peter Shilton (125), David Beckham (115), Bobby Moore (108), Bobby Charlton (106), Billy Wright (105) and Steven Gerrard (100).
Asked if Cole would start, Hodgson told reporters: "Yes he will. He'll start the game, then I'll have to see what to do with Leighton (Baines), who has been doing very well. Ashley will definitely start."
Hodgson did, however, rule out the possibility of Cole leading the side out at Wembley in place of captain Gerrard, who made his 100th appearance for England in last November's friendly with Sweden.
Hodgson said: "I don't see any reason why the captain should let anyone else lead the team out. Ashley does his talking and work on the field and I don't think he's ever pushed himself forward during his 100 appearances as a potential captain of the team.
"I think he's just very happy to be a key player in the team so I'm pretty certain he won't be trying to rip the armband off Steven tomorrow."
As Cole prepares to join national captain Gerrard among England's centurions, the Liverpool man agreed his team-mate should now be mentioned as an all-time great.
"I think he deserves to be in there," he told Sky Sports News. "I look at the players I played with throughout my career and I think he's been one of the most consistent."
Despite the fanfare of a game organised to mark the FA's 150th anniversary, Wednesday's friendly serves mainly as a warm-up to two important World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Montenegro.
Gerrard added: "Its exciting times and I think the FA have produced some fantastic fixtures. We start against Brazil and I know it's a friendly but we want to go into the qualifiers in good shape."

Usually when I build a cluster, I make local builds of MPICH2 for each compiler. This does not fit well with the paradigm of really any distro I've ever seen, which is why I leave it as a custom layer on top of e.g. Debian and do not package it. I have yet to see a distro do multiarch really well, so for the moment I try to work around (or perhaps above) the system and avoid using APT/YUM for handling multiple architectures/compiler toolchains. > > rgb > <snip> -- Geoffrey D.

EmpireTradingCo needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 179 designs submitted by 56 freelance designers.
Looking for talented designers to help bring our dreams to life!
We need a logo for our soon to launch trading company that will be doing business between the United States and China.
Want something strong, stylish and classy.
Potential for follow on work.
Empire Trading Company
We are three young entrepreneurs about to launch our first company - Empire Trading Company.
It will be a trading company doing business between the United States and China.
One of the first products we will be dealing is wine...but we DO NOT want the logo to be wine specific.
We want the logo to be Strong Stylish and Classy.
Ideally we would like the logo to say "Empire Trading Company" but...we would like to be able to separate the word "Empire" out to use on its own...so it will look the same as when it is in the the logo...but it will just say "Empire"
So..maybe Empire is the Focus...with the words Trading Company underneath

September 6, 2012
The summer of 2012 was as eventful, HIV care-wise, as it was hot. The sweltering season saw the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's approval of antiretrovirals for use in HIV-uninfected persons to prevent acquisition of the virus, the release of a home-based rapid HIV test, the revealing of the ultra-top-secret name of the Quad (rhymes with guild), and, of course, the return of the International AIDS Conference to the U.S. These events have been covered widely and, in the case of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), to death. Below are a few other reports of potential interest to a provider of HIV care that may have been missed in the heat of these other stories.
Table of Contents
Baligh R. Yehia et al. JAMA 2012; 308(4):338-341. Read the abstract.
What percentage of the patients in your clinic have a viral load that is undetectable? Most of us are not sure and, even if we do know, it is not totally clear what the ideal number should be. Clinical trials of initial antiretroviral therapies yield suppression rates of 80% to 90% at a year or two, but this falls slowly with longer follow-up. However, clinical trial participants are not always representative of those being cared for in our clinics, and studies typically provide support in terms of medication and monitoring that are absent in usual care.
Researchers from the HIV Research Network, a consortium of clinical centers across the U.S., looked at their collected data to get a sense of more real world suppression rates. The records of 32,483 patients who were in care during 2001 to 2010 were examined (about 70% male, 75% non-white, 30%-40% men who have sex with men [MSM], and 30% uninsured). The proportion on antiretroviral therapy (ART) increased from 66% to 86% over the course of the decade.
Using a definition of viral suppression of plasma HIV RNA <400 copies/mL throughout the calendar year studied, rates of suppression increased from 45% in 2001 to 72% in 2010. Pretty impressive -- and this includes all patients on ART, including those on their first, second, third or beyond regimens. The bad news was that suppression rates were lower for blacks and injection drug users each year studied. In contrast, virologic success was more common in older patients (>30 years with odds of suppression increasing with age) and those with private insurance (advantage seen even when compared to those on Medicaid and Medicare).
The study is important as it uses a fairly strict definition of viral suppression across multiple clinics treating a large number of patients to provide insights into how well we are doing. While rates of treatment success have increased over time, the finding that only three quarters of the patients receiving ART were treated successfully is concerning. Uncontrolled viremia for one in four patients has ramifications for individual and, of course, public health.
The finding that blacks were less likely to achieve virologic suppression, while not a new finding, underscores thinking that more circulating virus among African Americans, especially black MSM, contributes to racial disparities in HIV prevalence and incidence. More worrisome is that the study makes plain the limits of what you and I as practitioners can do. We have great therapies and a deep understanding about how to use them, but structural factors (such as under-insurance, poverty, substance abuse and the chaos that accompanies each) create a bulwark against which our expertise and best intentions crash. How to even start to change that would take an act of Congress (literally).

CAIRO (Reuters) - An alliance of Egyptian opposition parties decided on Tuesday to boycott parliamentary elections in protest at an election law they say favors the Muslim Brotherhood, increasing the chance that Islamists will sweep the vote.
The boycott by liberal and leftist parties opposed to President Mohamed Mursi aims to undermine the legitimacy of the vote and shows the polarization that has defined Egyptian politics since Hosni Mubarak was toppled two years ago.
It raises the prospect of an election fought mostly between Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood and more hardline Islamist groups such as the Salafi Nour Party. The vote is to be held in four stages between late April and June.
The National Salvation Front (NSF) - an array of liberal and leftist parties struggling to compete with the Islamists - said there should be no elections for the lower house of parliament without a law guaranteeing fair polls.
The law was passed this month by the Islamist-dominated upper house of parliament, which has been exercising legislative power in the absence of a lower house. The Islamists deny opposition accusations that the law divides constituencies in a way that favors the Muslim Brotherhood.
"There can be no elections without a law that guarantees the fairness of the election process and a government that can implement such a law and be trusted by the people," said Sameh Ashour, a spokesman for the NSF, who also called for "real independence of the judiciary".
With deep grass roots networks, the Islamists have won all elections since Mubarak was swept from power in a popular uprising that for a while brought Egyptians together in a display of unity rarely seen since then.
Divisions between the Islamists and their opponents have widened since Mursi won last year's presidential election. Tensions spilt into lethal street violence late last year when the president was accused of staging a power grab - accusations the Islamists dismissed as propaganda.
Seeking to convince the opposition to take part, Mursi invited them to talks on Tuesday to address concerns about the vote, but the alliance declined to attend. "We tell President Mursi: talk with yourself and your party," Ashour said.
Mursi went ahead with the talks anyway. "I hope these elections will be fully fair," he told the televised meeting attended by Islamists, smaller parties and independents. "We all bear the responsibility and I bear the most responsibility."
Mursi said he hoped "our dear brothers who did not meet us today" would join the talks at a later date.
If the past is anything to go by, Mursi and the Brotherhood will press on regardless. In December, he held a referendum on a constitution opposed by the opposition, securing its approval and signing it into law despite fierce protest.
"The call for boycott indicates the lack of trust the opposition has in the Brotherhood government and may also speak to their own capacities to effectively compete should they run," said Elijah Zarwan, a Cairo-based political analyst.
The boycott means parties led by some of the most prominent non-Islamist politicians will sit out the vote.
These include the Popular Current led by Hamdeen Sabahy, a leftist who came third in the presidential election won by Mursi last June, and the Dustour Party led by Mohamed ElBaradei, a former U.N. nuclear agency chief.
"This is to protest against the elections law that we did not participate in drafting, and about which our opinion was not taken," said Heba Yassin, a spokeswoman for Popular Current. "We reject the continuation of Mursi's oppressive policies that have led to nothing but more bloodshed and political problems."
The lower house was dissolved last year after a court ruled that the previous election law used to elect it was illegal.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party won about 40 percent of seats in the old lower house, with the Nour Party in second place. The Nour Party announced this week that it would take part in the elections.
Hassan Nafaa, a political scientist and a critic of the Muslim Brotherhood, said the boycott would undermine the legitimacy of the election. But he also foresaw some parties eventually breaking the boycott.
"If one of the front parties decided to enter the elections at a later stage, this will be a major blow," he said.
Police arrested 55 people on Tuesday during a failed attempt to re-open Tahrir Square which has been occupied by anti-Mursi demonstrators since November, a security source said.
State media described the police operation as a "peaceful process" that prompted a violent reaction from street venders who threw petrol bombs. Police removed barbed wire barricades, briefly opening the square to traffic, but they were swiftly re-erected by the youths that man them, the source said.

There has been a lot of agitation afresh about parents who activate to brainwash their babies at such an aboriginal age. While they are acquisitive to set their accouchement up to accomplish in our ever-competitive world, some altercate that over-stressing babies by teaching them to apprehend and do algebraic in actuality has an adverse aftereffect on them after in life. This commodity looks added into the issue…
A quick attending on YouTube and you can accretion absolutely a few videos of toddlers clumsily putting belletrist calm and account out a few words. Teaching from a actual adolescent age, a babyish in fact, seems to be a growing trend a part of parents who are anxious about giving their accouchement the best accessible alpha in their lives. A artefact currently getting awash in Australia, 'Your Babyish Can Read' is affirmation of this new fad even admitting the aggregation that originally produced the artefact has been taken to cloister over authoritative 'Deceptive able endorsements'.
The artefact is aswell getting acclimated in assertive childcare centres beyond the country and involves application beam cards and assuming videos to babies to advice them get a arch alpha in acquirements to read.
"You can alternation babies, like you can alternation a dog, to acknowledge to assertive words, but why would you wish to do that? Account is not about memory. It's an bookish process, it's about understanding, and these kinds of programs are not based on the attack of aboriginal learning," says Bridie Raban, honorary assistant of aboriginal adolescence development at the University of Melbourne.
According to Bridie, time spent on such articles would be bigger spent on communicating, talking, singing and socialising with children.
Although the adolescent may apprentice to 'read' at an aboriginal age, their account would not be affiliated with compassionate and it risks pressuring the adolescent if the accustomed way for them to apprentice is through play and socialisation.
Exposing adolescent accouchement to television screens has aswell been apparent to be counter-productive in some abstracts with it getting affiliated to beddy-bye disturbances, delayed accent acquisition, poor academy achievement and obesity.
The catechism is how accustomed a teaching adjustment is teaching to apprehend for children? Accouchement accept their own accustomed agency and methods to apprentice and this is mostly through play and curiosity. Would banishment a adolescent to sit uncomfortably and attack to focus their minds on a arid page be benign if their minds by itself move about and they apply on abounding things in a abbreviate period, acquirements through their accustomed concern and excitement?
Such educational programmes are still a hot affair for debate, but conceivably the best way to brainwash babies and accouchement is via agreeable play and socialisation and not over-pressuring and affirmation them into situations they are afflictive in.

Since today photos from Panoramio up to ID 13,760,000 are included in Google Earth, this means almost one million new photos added.
The date of the next update will be around October 24th and will include photos reviewed up to October 10th. However we are testing more frequent updates and maybe you will see your photos earlier in Google Earth. For the moment we are testing bi-weekly updates and gradually the delay will be reduced. Hopefully in few weeks we will have daily updates, so the last reviewed photos will take only one day to appear in Google Earth.

As a matter of fact, the BluGene number was ready way before the Columbia number. And as all of the major players are sponsor of the Top500 site, your assumption that it can buy you an advantage is not quite logical. The ultimate deadline for everybody was set for October 25th. As soon as they got their number, SGI/Intel turned on the PR machine and flooded the headlines, vigorously claiming being #1. Of course without knowing for sure. The IBM strategy was to stay quiet up to the official release of the list, and I guess disgrace SGI/Intel at the last minute. Unfortunately, the BluGene number was leaked and published before the official release. > However, I guess it's understandable since, as rgb points out, the Top500 > is an advertising thing anyway. Doug Eadline has a great quote about RGB is wrong. I will repeat it one more time: the top500 is a statistical study. It is an advertising thing only in the eyes of the believer.

Eclipse Takes 'Best' Shot at Framework
Page 1 of 1
Best practices information is the cornerstone of all good software development. Getting best practices information and processes, though, has long been a proprietary exercise. Until now.
The Eclipse Process Framework (EPF) promises to be the first open source initiative build out of a framework to help developers and organizations manage and distribute software best practices.
The EPF effort began at the end of 2005 as an open source project within the Eclipse Foundation. IBM kick-started the effort with 300,000 lines of code and 15 percent of the content found in its Rational Unified Process (RUP) product.
Today EPF hits the third development milestone on its way to a full release in September.
The EPF is both a set of best practices, as well as an actual tool in the form of the EPF Composer, which will enable users to both author and publish processes.
Per Kroll, manager of methods for IBM Rational at IBM, and lead on the EPF project, explained to internetnews.com that the goal with Milestone 3 (M3) is to further stabilize the structure of OpenUP, and the tooling build.
OpenUP is the open source version of the unified process platform within EPF.
Chris Sibbald, senior systems engineer of lifecycle solutions at Telelogic and a committer to the EPF project, explained that the M3 milestone also freezes the architecture of the process content in terms of what are all the process elements and how are they are all connected.
Telelogic, which offers competitive products for IBM's Rational product line, is donating some of its best practices as part of the EPF effort.
"We've been around for 20 years and we've accumulated a lot of best practices and we're helping our customers," Sibbald told internetnews.com. "But if we can capture that in a consistent manner and integrate that with tools that provide process guidance, there will be a huge benefit to our customers."
Telelogic has been offering best practice processes on a customized basis through consulting rather than a framework. Sibbald expects the EPF to be easier.
"The fact that it's a standard framework using a standard meta model, it's easier to share information across projects. It's easier to configure, publish and browse and link into your daily work when needed," Sibbald said.
EPF represents something that has not been done by the open source community.
"Every vendor to this point has had their own process content delivery mechanism, but this is as far as I know the first open source initiative to provide this type of framework support," Sibbald said.
IBM's Kroll stated that, "there is no real competition for EPF."
The open source model fostered by Eclipse is inclusive, and the strategy is to include a broad community of participation.
"We already have broad support for this model, with 27 committers and more than a dozen supporting organizations," Kroll said. "We see the support increasing every month."
In fact the EPF is now ranked No. 7 out of 60 projects in terms of activity at Eclipse and claims more than 7,000 downloads so far.
"With an increased focus on agile development, governance, compliance, etc., more and more people see the value of process," Kroll said.
"Also, there are a lot of organizations and developers with a lot of relevant experience in the process domain, and EPF provides them with the community and environment allowing them to collaborate effectively with their peers."
Two milestones still remain for the EPF before its expected September release.
"The next iteration is going to be a quality check to make sure that everything is concise and correct," Telelogic's Sibbald said. "Then we'll be turning our attention to launch planning."

Money well spent on training!!! This is one of the best investments I have made in training equipment. In fact I had to buy a second set to lend / give to my training partner to get him to stop barrowing mine. For some serious advancements in training, and confidence you've got a grip on those big dumbells, this is the product, watch your number go up as you train.

Versa Grips is the best I have found to date!!! I purchased the Power Grips while attending the Arnold Classic. These are the best grips I have used to date. Unlike straps that can be cumbersome to use, these are easy, easy, easy to use.. Did I mention easy? I guarantee Versa grips will become a staple in your gym bag. You will wonder how you lived without them. Its easier to push or pull and allows you workout with more weight than your typical grip can handle… So be prepared for mega-gains! Also note, I am not affiliated with the company, I do own a nationally recognized vitamin company, but I am not here to promote my products… When I find something good, I cannot say enough about the product, and want to share it with all, especially when there are so many inferior products on the market. So, go out and get these grips today! What are you waiting for?!! Enjoy!

On Tuesday, the U.N. mediator for the Syrian war quit, and France accused Syrian President Bashar Assad of using chemical weapons — primarily chlorine bombs— at least 14 times after agreeing to give up his chemical-weapons arsenal.
This sentence from a New York Times report sums up the implications:
"Taken together, the two events pointed to the failings of the West's signature efforts on Syria, finding a diplomatic way out of a civil war in its fourth year — and a pact that was proudly touted as stopping the Syrian government from using chemical weapons," Somini Sengutapta and Michael R. Gordon wrote.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has continually said that peace talks are the only resolution of Syrian war, and President Barack Obama has repeatedly taken credit for securing a deal to remove Assad's chemical arsenal.
Reality has now set in. The grinding military conflict continues as Assad, amid a re-election campaign, drops chlorine bombs out of helicopters on civilian centers.
Further, the Syrian ruler is holding onto 27 tons of sarin precursor chemicals as leverage against the international community's demand that the tunnels and buildings that were used to store the weapons must be destroyed.
After Assad dropped dozens of gallons of sarin on the suburbs of Damascus in August, killing more than 1,000 people, the Obama administration opted for Russia's offer for a deal to remove Assad's chemical weapons instead of a limited cruise-missile strike on the regime's mountain military facilities and airport runways.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, breaking from Obama's argument, expressed regret that the U.S. chose to make Assad an international partner instead of using force to deter the regime's indiscriminate attacks on civilians.
Basically, it was an admission that the West's Syria policy has failed.
"Assad has not stopped using chemical agents on civilians even as Obama delivered peace in our time without firing a single missile at Syria," Michael Weiss wrote recently. "In fact, as the deadline for the removal of Assad's chemical stocks has approached, the dictator has increased the use of them."

Family asks for pictures of snow for hospitalized boy
The 11-year-old was checked into a hospital Wednesday, preventing him from playing in a rare snowstorm for South Carolina
The 11-year-old was checked into a hospital Wednesday, preventing him from playing in a rare snowstorm for South Carolina
The family of a hospitalized 11-year-old boy, who can't get outside to play in the snow, is asking people to post pictures of a rare winter wonderland in South Carolina.
Michaela Shelley of Spartanburg said her brother, Tyler, has mitochondrial disease. He is being treated at Greenville Hospital System.
"He is devastated that he won't be able to leave to go play in the snow," Shelley said in a Facebook post.
So his mother took a bucket of snow to him.
A family friend came up with the idea to create the hashtag #SnowForTyler.
The family is asking people to post pictures of the snow on social media and use the hashtag.
They're asking for snow sculptures or messages written in the snow.
That's led people near and afar to respond.

Nearly two years ago, I posted an overly long and verbose piece on why, despite my preference for region-free consoles and gaming, consumers don't have the right to region-free games. This was mainly in response to Nintendo's decision to region-lock the 3DS. Early this morning, through what I can only assume was the use of the necromantic arts, someone responded to that post. Because my response to that comment would have been far longer than a comment has any right to be, I chose to respond in a new post. Consider this a sequel to that original post.
In the two years since my original post, Nintendo launched the 3DS (region-locked), and then had to drop the price because it was too expensive and no one was buying it. I still have not bought one (the last Nintendo console I bought was the DS Lite–I haven't bought a Wii and have no plans to buy a Wii U), though I have bought a PS3 and PS Vita in the meantime (both of which, you will notice, can at the very least play out-of-region physical games).
This, dear reader, is a little thing I like to call The Market.™
Sony has made choices with which I agree, and to support those choices, I am willing to pay for their consoles and games (and I have games for both systems from both the US and Japan).
Nintendo has continued to region-lock their consoles and games. The prices of those consoles and games have not dropped to the point where I would be willing to forego the ability to play games from all regions on one console, so I have not bought them (even though I would dearly love to play Tales of the Abyss with load times that aren't measured in geologic time, and Project X Zone looks ridiculous enough to be awesome).
Sullivan, in his comment, says,
And Nintendo doesn't owe you anything? You are a customer. Neither Nintendo nor their shareholders would make ANY money without the customers. They sure as hell owe you. And what you get for your money is that they patronize you and severely restrict your freedom. It is not okay. And telling people not to buy the system because of that is just stupid. It is not a solution. It was not the game developers' choice to make games region locked.
In response, I would like to point out that Nintendo does not owe me anything.
I bought a DS Lite. Nintendo fulfilled its side of the bargain bye delivering what was promised–a region-free handheld gaming system. Since then, I have not been a Nintendo customer–I haven't bought anything because I don't want to pay them to restrict my gaming options. If you buy a 3DS/Wii/Wii U knowing that it's region-locked, Nintendo still doesn't owe you–you're still getting exactly what you paid for.
I don't owe support to game companies. Game companies don't owe me good games, bad games, mediocre games, region-free games, or region-locked games. If a game company has a game I want to play, I buy it, and the relationship ends there.
Not buying the system because it's region-locked is not only the solution, it's the cheapest solution (it's certainly cheaper than trying to get a big enough block of Nintendo stock to control the company's decisions). If you're not willing to give up the ability to play the games that come out despite the region-locking that Nintendo has foisted upon consumers, then you've made an economic decision that region-free gaming is not worth as much to you as it is to someone who chooses not to buy a Nintendo console because of the region-locking.
Nintendo is free to choose to region-lock their consoles and games. Sony is free to choose not to region-lock their consoles and games.
And the consumer is free to vote with his wallet and support whichever philosophy he agrees with, if he even cares. Sadly, I suspect most consumers don't care about whether or not their consoles are region-locked.

Letter to the House calling for an override of the Presidential veto of the Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations bill
November 14, 2007
Dear Representative:
On behalf of the National Education Association's (NEA) 3.2 million members, I strongly urge you to vote to override the President's veto of the FY08 Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill.
As a reflection of the importance to NEA, votes associated with overriding the President's veto of the FY08 Labor-HHS-Education bill WILL be included in the NEA Legislative Report Card for the 110th Congress.
The FY08 Labor-HHS-Education funding bill provides significant increases for vital education programs. The bill reverses the devastating trend of cuts and freezes to education funding in recent years and will help provide schools and students the resources necessary to succeed.
If the President's veto is allowed to stand, and Congress agrees to the President's funding request, our nation's most vulnerable schools and students will be shortchanged by $4.5 billion, including:
$600 million for programs under No Child Left Behind;
$800 million for special education; and
$600 million for career and technical education.
This shameful slashing of education resources is simply unacceptable.
Failure to override the President's veto simply leaves too many federal mandates with too few federal resources. We can and must do better as a nation. It is time for Congress to stand up for children and public education.
I strongly urge you to vote to override the President's veto of the Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill.
Reg Weaver

Mayor asks for $410 million to shore up city property
Houston voters would be asked in November to let City Hall borrow $410 million to build and repair police stations, fire houses, parks, libraries and recycling centers under a bond plan Mayor Annise Parker unveiled Wednesday.
If the City Council approves placing the five measures before voters, the fistful of propositions could be wedged onto a presidential election ballot crowded with other measures. These include a $1.9 billion bond package for the Houston Independent School District, a Houston Community College bond measure and a referendum on whether to continue providing part of Metro's sales tax revenues to area cities and Harris County for road work.
The package of city bond measures does not include a tax increase.
"It meets my goals, but certainly I think, our goals of creating jobs, it improves public safety, we invest in our infrastructure, we improve the quality of life of Houstonians," Parker said in her pitch to the council. "It helps to maintain Houston as the best place to live and to work and to raise a family."
Before she can take the campaign to the city's voters, the City Council must vote to put the measures on the ballot.
Several council members said they were not ready to support the measures until they get more information. Councilman Oliver Pennington complained that the administration's refusal to share a building-by-building assessment of city property - withheld, the mayor said, for security and liability reasons - makes it difficult to evaluate the bond measures.
"Given the short time frame that we have before an election needs to be called, we don't have enough time to vet that issue properly before we have to make a decision, for us individually to look at it, for us to talk to our constituents, for us to seek our own expert advice," Pennington said.
The parks measure contains $100 million that is predicated on the nonprofit Houston Parks Board raising an equal amount in private donations to connect the extensive but gap-ridden network of hike and bike paths in the city.
"It stands to make Houston the No. 1 city in America for off-street hike/bike trails, completing over 150 miles of trails along seven of our major bayous," Parker said.
Councilman James Rodriguez questioned whether the city should bank on the Parks Board delivering, given that it has fallen far short in a smaller-scale effort to find donors to pay for the renovation of the Gus Wortham Golf Course. The city could pull back on park spending if the private contributions for trails do not come in, Parker said. Rodriguez later said he was satisfied with Parker's explanation that the measures would authorize the city to borrow money but would not obligate it to do so.
Councilman Mike Sullivan repeated his refrain that the administration had not been transparent enough.
"It is so undefined, it would be unwise for me to take a position to support it," he said. "I'm supportive of more money for parks. I'm supportive of more money for police and fire and general administration. However, it has to be specified."
Billy Briscoe, campaign manager of the newly formed Vote for Houston's Future Committee, framed the bond measures as an economic development tool.
"These are the non-sexy things that really matter when companies are choosing the next city to move toward. If we're successful in doing this, obviously we can go and market basic services to economic engines around the country, around the world to come set up headquarters in the city of Houston," Briscoe said.

Is it Wrong for Sioux Falls to Accept Money from FEMA for the April Ice Storm?
Mayor Huether, City Council leaders, Jim Entenman and Dean Karsky, believe taking money from FEMA is OK.
I asked them about it during interviews on Viewpoint University KSOO radio. I disagree and stated my views during those interviews.
The ice storm in April put us on the FEMA radar screen. Even though we had no major public or private property damage, no lives we lost, and the city has adequate money in a reserve account, we qualify to receive the payback, to replenish our already plush fund balance.
Total cost of the local clean up effort is about $10 million, according to city staff. FEMA money will cover about $6 million of that, with some funds coming from the state.
From my perspective, here is the problem with taking federal funds: About $2.5 million of those dollars will be borrowed. The federal government currently has to borrow about $.42 of every dollar it spends. That is why we are deficit spending nearly $1,000,000,000,000 this year. Our total U.S. debt is over $14,000,000,000,000.
Why should Sioux Falls be a part of that problem? I know we qualify for the money, but does that mean we should take it? Why should we take the money when we know our children to will have to pay for the tree clean up from April in 2013 ice storm, when they pay federal taxes in the future?
I respect Mayor Huether, Jim Entenman, and Dean Karsky. They are intelligent human beings. I have not talked directly with the other members, although according to quotes, Rex Rolfing, Kermit Staggers, and Greg Jamison share some of my concerns.
I am going to communicate directly with council members, Kenny Anderson, Sue Aguilar, Michelle Erpenbach, and the others mentioned above, on this subject. I am going to encourage them to look at the bigger picture.
Understand we elected them to look out for Sioux Falls. However, I think there is a higher calling. Looking out for the best interest of the country should, in my opinion, be part of their responsibilities. Taking money from a broke federal government does not make sense to me.
What do you think?

Author Notes: I'm absolutely obsessed with Tartine Bakery in San Francisco. When I found out I could no longer eat gluten, this bakery was the first thing that came to mind--the fact that I couldn't eat their amazing bread and cakes almost brought me to tears.
Already having their cookbook, I decided to convert this cake to be gluten free for my birthday. It has an amazing balance of lemony tartness and gooey sweetness that also manages to cover up what can sometimes be grainy gluten-free flours.
Also, I get to use my kitchen torch with this recipe. What's not to love?! —JessicaBakes
Serves: 12-16
Gluten-free lemon cake
cup canola oil, plus more for greasing the pans
1 1/2 cups + 2 tbsp. brown rice flour, finely ground
cup potato starch (NOT the same as potato flour)
cup tapioca starch (the same as tapioca flour...confused yet?)
teaspoon salt
tablespoon baking powder
teaspoon xantham gum
cup milk
teaspoon vanilla
tablespoon lemon zest
cups sugar
large eggs
Lemon syrup, caramel, lemon cream and meringue topping
cup heavy cream
vanilla bean (or a touch of extract if you don't have a bean on hand)
1 1/4
cups sugar
cup water
teaspoon salt
tablespoons light corn syrup
teaspoon fresh lemon juice
tablespoons unsalted butter
cup water
cup sugar
cup fresh lemon juice (no bottled stuff!)
1/2 c. + 2 tbsp. lemon juice
whole large eggs
large egg yolk
cup sugar
cup unsalted butter, cool
cup egg whites (about 7 whites)
1 3/4
cups sugar
pinch salt
Gluten-free lemon cake
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 round 9-inch cake pans with parchment and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Beat the sugar and eggs in a large bowl of an electric mixer at medium speed for 1 minute. Add all flours/starches, salt, baking powder, xanthan gum, oil, milk, vanilla, and lemon zest; beat at medium speed for 1 minute.
- Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake for 25 minutes or until cake is firm and the center springs back when touched. Cool on wire racks in the pan for 5 minutes, then use a small knife to cut around the sides of the pan to loosen. Invert the cakes, peel off the parchment and cool completely. You will need to divide each of these two layers in half, making 4 layers total
Lemon syrup, caramel, lemon cream and meringue topping
- Caramel: Pour the cream into a small, heavy saucepan. Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and use the tip of a sharp knife to scrape the seeds into the milk (or add the vanilla extract at this point). Place over medium-high heat and bring to just under a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low to keep the cream warm while you caramelize the sugar. In a large saucepan (much larger than you think you need--the caramel will boil very high when you add the cream later on), combine the 1 1/4 c. sugar, 1/4 c. water, 1/4 tsp. salt and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Then cook, without stirring, until the mixture is amber colored, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat. Make sure your cream is closeby because the caramel will continue to cook once you take it off the heat. Carefully and slowly add the cream to the sugar syrup. The mixture will boil vigorously at first. Let the mixture simmer down, then whisk until smooth. Add the 3/4 tsp. lemon juice, then let cool for about 10 minutes. Cut the 4 tbsp. butter into 1-inch chunks and add them to the caramel one at a time, whisking constantly after each addition. Whisk the caramel periodically as it cools. You will end up with more than you actually need for the recipe, but consider this a good thing. A very, very good thing. Keep well-covered in the fridge.
- Lemon syrup: combine the 1/3 c. sugar and 1/3 c. water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. When the sugar has dissolved, remove the pan from the heat, let cool for a few minutes and chill until cool to the touch, about 30 minutes. Whisk the 1/3 c. lemon juice into the syrup.
- Lemon cream: Boil some water in a saucepan, then bring it down to a simmer. Combine the 1/2c. + 2 tbsp. lemon juice, 3 whole eggs, 1 egg yolk, 3/4 c. sugar and a pinch of salt in a stainless steel bowl that will rest securely in the rim of the saucepan over, not touching, the water. Do not let the egg yolks and sugar sit together without stirring; the sugar will mix with the yolks and become quite grainy. Whisk the ingredients until the mixture becomes very thick and registers 180 degrees on a thermometer. Remove the bowl from over the water and let cool to 140 degrees, stirring from time to time to release the heat. Meanwhile, cut the 1 c. butter into 1-inch chunks. When the cream is ready, use an immersion blender to add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time, blending until incorporated after each addition. The cream should be pale yellow and opaque and thick at this point. You can use the cream immediately or pour it into a storage container with a tight fitting lid. If you want to save this for later use, you can refrigerate for up to 5 days and reheat gently in a stainless steel bowl set over simmering water until it has softened
- Assembly + meringue: Line the sides of a 9-inch springform pan with 3-inch sides with plastic wrap, allowing enough overhang to cover the top of the cake completely once it's assembled. I find it's easiest to do a piece of saran going each way over the springform without the bottom in it and then drop the bottom in. You want the saran to be going underneath the pan bottom so it only touches the sides. Fit one cake layer into the bottom of the pan. Using a pastry brush, moisten the layer evenly with 1/4 of the lemon syrup. You may want to use more syrup on the top layers and less on the bottom because it does seep down overnight. Then, cover the layer with 1/3 c. of caramel, then 3/4 c. of the lemon cream. Repeat with the next two layers. Top with the last cake layer, moisten it with syrup, and fold the overhanging plastic wrap over it to seal. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight. When you are ready to finish the cake, make the meringue. Boil water in a saucepan over medium heat. Combine the egg whites, 1 3/4 c. sugar and pinch salt in the bowl of a stand mixer that will rest securely in the rim of the saucepan over, not touching, the water. Whisk together and then place over the the water. Continue to whisk until the whites are hot to the touch (120 degrees). Remove the bowl from over the water and place on the mixer stand. Using the whisk attachment, mix on high speed until the mixture is very thick and holds glossy, stiff peaks. Retrieve your cake. Release and list off the pan sides and peel away the plastic wrap. Transfer onto your serving plate. Immediately frost your cake with the meringue, creating swoops and peaks with your offset spatula. If you'd like, you can create more peaks by using your fingers to pull away at the meringue (which is what I did). Using a kitchen torch, lightly brown the meringue, blackening some of the peaks. The cake can be served immediately or kept cold in the fridge until ready to serve, up to 1 week.
