Hidden resentments could surface and you'll want to be able to gracefully back away from arguments this week. Appreciate the good vibrations and ignore the negative. You'll be doing the universe's work! Soul Affirmation: What I've been waiting for has been here all along.
Charming, simply charming is what you are this week! Use your sparkle to set a few dreams in motion by meeting with those who can help you move forward. Wow! Have you got it going on! Keep your spontaneous side in check this week. Soul Affirmation: I know that enjoyment is a state of mind this week.
Think things through before you act. Concentrate on small details. They will make the difference between success and failure in your endeavors this week. Don't go for the gusto just yet, your ideas need to be massaged a bit more before you present them openly. Call that special someone that has been on your mind. Soul Affirmation: True friendship is a mirror into which I look to see the beauty of my inner self.
Your financial constraints will soon come to an end. Meanwhile, make a game of spending less. See how long you can go without letting loose a dime and you will be in a better position to make decisions about bigger ticket items soon. Start thinking about where you would like to take a short excursion. Soul Affirmation: I paint my world in colors of the rainbow.
For the past two weeks you have been playing it safe. Now you can live on the edge a little. Luck is back with you again. You'll be aware of love prospects lingering around you. You'll see that your career is full of bright possibilities. Now is a good time to take a chance. Soul Affirmation: Self-confidence is the key to my success this week.
Flexibility is the word for this week. Don't insist on being right, even if you think you are. You will gain more this week if you allow others the freedom to have their way rather than insisting that people do things your way. Soul Affirmation: He who doesn't ask will remain a fool forever.
You don't have to worry about being alone in the journey that you have undertaken. You are on this path because someone guided you. Take the memory of their guidance as comfort and keep on trucking. Soul Affirmation: Things are as I know them to be.
Commit to a way this week, lucky archers! You are developing your craft by practice and more practice. Accept recognition gracefully, and keep on task. You are investing in your art this week. Soul Affirmation: Goodness is its own reward.
Your word this week is "Persistence." Keep at the task of persuading others that your idea or vision is as remarkable as you know it is. You just need to get the word out, and you need to be persistent in your efforts. Make a game out of it and have fun! Soul Affirmation: Often it's not what I say but the way I say it that gets the message across
Results that seemed like they would never show up may arrive this week, and it will make you very happy. Keep the feeling this week in mind so that you'll remember and benefit from it next time you are impatiently waiting for an outcome. Everything is working to your good. Soul Affirmation: I give thanks for the chance to give.
Your exciting and adventurous self will want to come out and play. You'll be happiest if you are exploring something, and then topping it off with a visit to a restaurant that serves something you've never tried before. Live it up at the banquet of life this week! Soul Affirmation: When I am clear about who I am, the world becomes clearer.
Watch for that item you've been wanting to be on sale at a good price this week. While you are feeling pretty confident with money, you don't want to splurge or overspend just yet. Keep your eye out for bargains for a little while longer! Soul Affirmation: This week I find joy in the gifts that life has already given me.

|Acts as a tumor suppressor in many tumor types; induces growth arrest or apoptosis depending on the physiological circumstances and cell type. Involved in cell cycle regulation as a trans-activator that acts to negatively regulate cell division by controlling a set of genes required for this process. One of the activated genes is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases. Apoptosis induction seems to be mediated either by stimulation of BAX and FAS antigen expression, or by repression of Bcl-2 expression. In cooperation with mitochondrial PPIF is involved in activating oxidative stress-induced necrosis; the function is largely independent of transcription. Induces the transcription of long intergenic non-coding RNA p21 (lincRNA-p21) and lincRNA- Mkln1. LincRNA-p21 participates in TP53-dependent transcriptional repression leading to apoptosis and seems to have an effect on cell-cycle regulation. Implicated in Notch signaling cross-over. Prevents CDK7 kinase activity when associated to CAK complex in response to DNA damage, thus stopping cell cycle progression. Isoform 2 enhances the transactivation activity of isoform 1 from some but not all TP53-inducible promoters. Isoform 4 suppresses transactivation activity and impairs growth suppression mediated by isoform 1. Isoform 7 inhibits isoform 1-mediated apoptosis. Regulates the circadian clock by repressing CLOCK-ARNTL/BMAL1- mediated transcriptional activation of PER2 (PubMed:24051492).

David Cassidy, onetime teen dream and "The Partridge Family" star, was arrested Wednesday morning just after midnight in upstate New York on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
Cassidy, 63, was initially pulled over for driving with his high beams on, TMZ reported, and officers administered a field sobriety test after smelling alcohol. The actor-singer did poorly on the sobriety test and showed a blood alcohol level of 0.10 on a breath test, Schodack, N.Y., police told the website.
He was cuffed and jailed on a felony charge of driving while intoxicated — it's not his first arrest of this nature — and then was released on $2,500 bail.
Cassidy was previously arrested on suspicion of DUI in Florida in 2010. After vowing to fight the charges, despite dash-cam footage showing him failing a field sobriety test and police finding an open bottle of bourbon in the car, he changed his mind and pleaded no contest in February 2011 to misdemeanor drunk driving and driving with an open container. When he was arrested, he blew a 0.14 on a breath test, police said. He lost his driving privileges for six months and was placed on a one-year probation.
In the New York case, Cassidy has a date with a judge on Sept. 4, according to ABC News.

Surprised and slaughtered by the darkspawn and their mysterious leader, you were the sole survivor of your group. You reached Orzammar more dead than alive, attempting warn of the danger that lay on Deep Roads.
Alone in Orzammar, you gathered support for your quest to warn the king of the oncoming Darkspawn threat. You found allies in a healer named Ardum and a Grey Warden named Martine.
Your attempts to warn the King were confounded by various citizens of Orzammar who insisted that you do small favors for them before they would help you. You eventually got on the good side of the crime lord Saria by attempting to track down the whereabouts of her diamond smugglers.
Your party encountered the powerful darkspawn emissary in a nearby diamond mine, where he had hordes of darkspawn digging for some unknown reason. Already weakened from powering his digging machines, you were able to defeat the emissary, but not before he escaped. You shut down the emissary's excavation site, but are left wondering what he was searching for ...
Recover 3 mushroom stalks from the Deep Roads for Arteme's brew.
Muscular and tough, Hurlocks are the shock troops of the darkspawn armies.
Genlocks have both the strength and hardiness of their dwarven origins and are difficult to kill.
Alphas are the most cunning of the Genlock and have higher magic resistance.
Ogres are rare, but growing in number. They are among the most fearsome monsters a warrior can face.
This bizarre creature evolved in the deep caverns beneath the Dwarven cities.
Giant Spiders are known to feed on bats and more hearty fare, including Genlocks.
Thieves from Dust Town, these Carta Rogues are usually under the employ of the crime boss, Saria.
Dwarf Brigands are hired mercenaries who will lend their blade to the highest bidder - no questions asked.
Embri of Gwaren, an elven mage of limited talent who volunteered to become one of the Tranquil, proved herself a talented enchanter--if absent-minded. She kept an array of magical ingredients on her belt at all times, and eventually the belt itself became magical. Embri died of lyrium poisoning many years later, but the enchanted belt remains.
To earn Embri's Many Pockets in Dragon Age: Origins, save the Grey Warden Martine by completing The Missing Warden quest.
This amulet was forged during the height of the ancient Tevinter Imperium's power, a time when entire armies would flee upon seeing a Tevinter magister stride into battle. While the name Cavellus remains engraved on its back, any memory of the magister who created it has been lost to the mists of time.
To earn the Amulet of the War Mage in Dragon Age: Origins, simply sign in to your EA account in Dragon Age Journeys. If you do not have an existing EA account, you can create one by pressing the Login button on the Main Menu.
There is a legend amongst the dwarves of the Legion of the Dead that, three centuries ago, a commander of the Legion came across the body of a legionnaire wearing a helmet inscribed with lyrium. He took it, and died nobly... and then his body was found years later by another commander--and so forth, for generations. The helmet is said to be a sign of an honorable death for the lucky dwarf who stumbles across it.
To earn the Helm of the Deep in Dragon Age: Origins, you must earn all five achievements in Dragon Age Journies: The Deep Roads.

"I had a birthday party for my daughter. We had a total of 20 kids over, ranging from 11-14 years old. Everyone was ecstatic from the game!!! The game leader was fantastic. Two and a half hours flew by in a blink of an eye. Thank you for the efficient organization, for the included game leaders, for the cool themes, and for your attention and approach to our party!"
- Carol -
"We loved the "Black Cat Cabaret" theme. Our emotions were overflowing. The organizers skillfully wrapped up the theme, and every bit of detail was clearly thought through. The effect of "being" in 19th century Paris, and being part of an iconic cabaret still causes me to re-create those magical minutes. I'll admit that after some time playing the game, I got so into the new reality that I completely forgot in which time period we actually were, where we were, and which personality was actually mine!"
- Margaret -
"A night of vertiginous intrigues, brain-taxing puzzles, bewitching smiles and murdering glances - all in the glisten of the devilish emerald of absinthe, slyly cloaked in moonlight (okay, that might have been the flickering of the green carbonated brew known as Mountain Dew). Oh, that was the night that all of them - French poets, artists, literary critics, philanthropists, Americans in Paris starving for what a hotspur mind and parturient soul can only raven for, trailed by inquisitive officers of the Gendarmerie Royale and shadowed by a Russian Okhrana agent - will not soon forget."
- Anya Hajiyev about The Black Cat Cabaret -
"What fun. Thank you to organisers for the invite, generosity of spirit and imagination !!! Time flew by and actors still wanted to go on : )))
Hahaha, it was awesome."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A number of prominent rabbis who oversee Jewish holy places in Israel issued a plea last week for the authorities to do more to protect Jewish worshippers from attacks by Palestinian mobs.
Most notably, Palestinian riots outside Rachel's Tomb on the northern outskirts of Bethlehem have grown unbearably violent of late.
The compound is believed to be the burial place of the biblical matriarch Rachel, and as such is an important holy site for Jews, hundreds of whom visit on a daily basis.
Palestinian Muslims reject the Jewish claims, and insist the site is a mosque, and therefore off-limits to Jews.
Several times in recent days, dozens of Palestinians have assaulted the tomb compound and the IDF base protecting it with stones and firebombs. Jewish worshippers have had to hide behind the thick walls as Israeli soldiers battle to disperse the rioters.
In a particularly violent confrontation at Rachel's Tomb on Friday, a slingshot-wielding Palestinian man was shot and wounded by Israeli soldiers.

2003 Process Automation Hall of Fame
Our 2003 Hall of Fame inductees exemplify excellence, diligence, and influence in the control profession
What makes a hero? Definitions range from the mythological to the mundane. World events seem to shape the word's use, and tragedy, as we saw in our space program earlier this month, can make its application instantaneous.
Maybe the word's application to engineering seems a little strained, but look up "hero" in the dictionary and about halfway down the list of meanings comes the simple definition: "a person prominent in some event, field, period, or cause by reason of his special achievements or contributions."
Behind every lifesaving drug, within every steel mill that employs half the town, for every chemical plant that performs complex transformations with utter safety, toils a process engineer who keeps it all in control. To those whose lives, livelihoods, or neighborhoods are touched, these guys are heroes; or they should be.
These everyday process control engineers have their heroes, too; guys who have made their work easier and more effective. These process control stars have formulated new algorithms, created better hardware and software, or taught a new generation of engineers how to apply existing knowledge.
So we set out two years ago to honor the luminaries in our profession with a virtual Hall of Fame populated by some of the finest minds and practitioners of process control. We are fortunate already to have the likes of Marion "Bud" Keyes, Bela Liptak, Greg McMillan, Greg Shinskey, Terry Tolliver, and Harold Wade.
CONTROL's Process Automation Hall of Fame is in its third year of honoring outstanding professionals in the field. Members are drawn from the heavyweights in our industry--recognized significant contributors who have devoted their lives to the advancement and implementation of the craft.
This year's trio was selected from a list of worthy candidates nominated by editors, readers, CONTROL's editorial advisory board, and the current Hall of Famers. To help us select future members, we welcome suggestions from readers. If you know someone you believe should be in the Process Automation Hall of Fame, please let us know who and why.
This year we are pleased to add:
* Karl Astrom, a world-renowned educator and theoretician who resides in Sweden.
* Lynn Craig, president of Manufacturing Automation Associates, Medford, N.J., a longtime engineer with Rohm and Haas, and a batch control expert.
* Charles Cutler, a longtime process control engineer at Shell Oil Co. who created the Dynamic Matrix Control algorithm and then founded a company on that control concept.
Astrom's career is chronicled in the following story. Craig will be featured in the March issue, and Cutler in April.
Join us in appreciating the contribution these engineers have made to our careers and our lives.
Awards Ceremony at World Batch Forum
The formal presentation of our CONTROL Process Automation Hall of Fame plaques comes during an awards dinner the first evening of World Batch Forum. The 10th annual North American conference for those in batch manufacturing will be April 13-16 at the Hilton Woodcliff Lake, Woodcliff Lake, N.J.
The first day, a Sunday, opens with tutorials on ISA standards on batch control (S88) and standard manufacturing models and data exchange (S95) and ends with the CONTROL Hall of Fame dinner.
The forum gets rolling the next morning when Paul Baduini, vice president and director of engineering at Rohm and Haas Co., delivers the keynote on "Optimizing Manufacturing Strategy to Align With Changing Business Requirements." A keynote the following day is "Without Operations Agility, Manufacturers Cannot Profitably Meet Consumer Demand," from Roddy Martin, a vice president at AMR Research.
The three days are filled with tutorials, panel discussions, case studies, special sessions, and a table-top exhibit, all dedicated to improving batch processes. For more information, call 480/893-8803 or see http://www.wbf.org.
Karl Astrom
A Practical Theoretician
Ever wonder why Sweden has long been a leading source of paper-making technology? Karl Astrom is one big reason.
The Swedish engineer has been called the foremost process control theoretician in the world, creator of the best automated tuning method, and, through his long tenure in academia, teacher of some of the cream of the current crop of control engineers the world over.
"While much of this work is over my head, his contributions are also among the most practical," says Greg Shinskey, himself a member of the CONTROL Process Automation Hall of Fame (and its difficult talking over his head). "One of my most prized possessions is an autographed copy of his book, Computer Controlled Systems, just one of his many publications."
Astrom, 68, currently professor emeritus at Lund University in his homeland and a visiting professor at University of California at Santa Barbara, has a masters degree in engineering and a Ph.D. in engineering physics. He has more far-flung honorary doctorates than most people have passport stamps: from Chalmers University of Technology in Goteburg, Sweden; Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia, Madrid, Spain; University of Glasgow (UK); and lInstitut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (France).
Visiting teaching appointments have taken him to Pavia, Italy; Lausanne, Switzerland; Canberra, Australia; Vancouver, British Columbia; Tokyo; Zurich; Peking; London; as well as UC-Berkeley, MIT, and the University of Illinois.
Astrom is a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences; he has published numerous books and papers; and has won numerous awards, including the IEEE Medal of Honor in 1993. We are pleased to make him this years first inductee into the Process Automation Hall of Fame.
Bringing Theories to the Plant
A bright student who was always building things, Astrom enrolled in 1953 at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Swedens premiere engineering school. "It had the toughest entrance requirements for the branch of engineering physics I was interested in, with only 15 students admitted from all of Sweden," says Astrom.
He wouldnt encounter process control until five years after his Ph.D., when he joined IBMs Nordic Laboratory in Stockholm in 1961. "There were two important developments in the early 1960s that led to a paradigm shift in control theory," he reflects. "One was new theory development,differential equations were used to describe systems instead of transfer functions. The other was the emergence of the use of digital computers for control.
"Initially [at IBM] I worked on problems for steel mills and nuclear reactors. But what really turned me on was a major project in the pulp and paper industry, which was a joint effort between Billerud [a large Swedish pulp and paper company] and IBM," Astrom recalls. "I had just returned from a very interesting period at IBM Research in the U.S., and my group became responsible for online control. We had superb management that encouraged research and gave us a lot of freedom.
"My main concern was with control of basis weight and moisture content and quality control. We made extensive use of Kalman filtering for prediction of quality control. Time delay and stochastic disturbances were major issues in control of basis weight and moisture. It seemed natural to apply stochastic control theory to minimize the fluctuations. This required modeling. Together with Torsten Bohlin, we developed new methods for system identification based on plant experiments."
Astrom put more than three years of work into the project. What resulted was one of the earliest computer-controlled systems for the pulp and paper industry. The computer was an IBM 1710, with core memory of 80 kB, a hard disk of 4 MB, and a clock rate of 100 kHz. The system had 80 analog inputs, 22 pulse counter inputs, 100 digital outputs, and 45 analog outputs. "From todays perspective, it may appear surprising that anything could be done with such a minute system!"
As is the hallmark of much of Astroms work, the resulting system was grounded in theory and mathematical modeling, but proven with experience on the plant floor. The end result was a complete computer architecture optimized for pulp and paper processing, with not just software but alterations in the hardware of the IBM 1710. In this project, Astrom learned another golden rule that would serve him throughout his career: "Sometimes you need to redesign the process and not just the controller."
The Billerud-IBM project created several technological,mostly theoretical,byproducts. "In it, we also developed the minimum variance control strategy for minimizing the variations in the quality variables. We spent quite a bit of effort in making the algorithms robust," he continues. "It is interesting to see that the minimum variance strategy 30 years later has become the norm for quality assessment."
It also begat system identification, a modeling of the process through the introduction of upsets followed by measurement and analysis.
Academia Beckons
After the Billerud project, a funny thing happened on his way back to IBM Research in the U.S. "In 1965, I also applied to be the new chair in control at the Lund University Institute of Technology," in the city of Lund, Sweden. "To my great surprise, I got it and I moved to Lund where I was able to build a control department from scratch.
"I was eager to do this because I saw tremendous opportunities in control. We set up an ambitious research program in control with strong theoretical programs and many industrial contacts, both large companies like Asea [now ABB] and IBM and small companies. Some of the early research projects were system identification, adaptive control, digital control, and computer-aided control engineering. We had a strong theoretical foundation from some of the ideas that we had tried experimentally in the IBM-Billerud project, and the industrial contacts made it possible to try many things in real life. It was a very good interaction between high-level theory and real industrial projects."
Since 1965, Karl Astrom has been training new process control minds--and using them to solve real-world industrial problems--from Lund University in Sweden.
This industry-academia partnership he forged at Lund made him realize that "obtaining mathematical models of industrial plants by observing their reaction to arbitrary perturbations and analyzing results is a very powerful tool. It also leads to some very interesting theoretical problems." In his position at Lund, he was able to devote not just himself but the minds of many graduate and doctorate students to solving these real-world industrial problems.
"Adaptive control was one of the key research areas. One of the most interesting results was the development of the self-tuning regulator, which was done with one of my Ph.D. students, Björn Wittenmark. This has many interesting theoretical properties and it was one of the first adaptive controllers that was used industrially on a reasonably large scale."
Another innovation was the relay autotuner. "In late 1979, I was on leave to a very small company, Telsand AB, to do a special project on control of blown film extruders. The company was an agent for Eurotherm in England, and through this contact with Eurotherm I learned PID controllers very well. I clearly saw the need for automatic tuning in PID controllers. A new scheme for automatic tuning based on relay feedback was invented with a colleague Tore Hägglund. We patented the idea and looked for industrial partners."
The technology of the relay autotuner became a key component of most distributed control systems. "I rate it as the best of the automated tuning methods," says Russell Rhinehart, head of the school of chemical engineering at Oklahoma State University.
But one of his greatest contributions is the two generations of Ph.D.s and masters students he educated in Sweden, other parts of Europe, and the U.S. "He covers just about every field and does so with the perfect mix of theory and practical engineering," says Petar Kokotovic, director of the Center for Control Engineering at the University of California at Santa Barbara, where Astrom currently spends three months of each year. "He has what I call common engineering sense, plus the soul of an inventor.
"He dramatically changed the spirit and style of undergraduate teaching here," Kokotovic continues. "He enlivened it. Made it more intense, more physical, more appealing, but also playful and imaginative. He treats undergraduate students with as much respect as he would a Nobel prize winner."
"Im impressed with his vision," adds Frank Doyle, a fellow professor at UCSB. "His activity here spans the spectrum from classical control problems to educational issues to new research. He believes control engineers can play a role in many endeavors outside of industry, especially in biological systems."
One of his favorite ice-breakers with a new class of engineers is a backwards bicycle. Astrom calls it a Klein bicycle, after a retired University of Illinois professor who introduced him to it. With front-wheel drive and steering in the rear, "Out of a class of 70, I can only teach four or five students to ride it," Astrom says. While there are a number of control theories embodied in the contraption, the ultimate message, according to the professor, is "the design is flawed. Sometimes the process is so difficult to control, you have to go back and redesign the process, as well as the controller."

I read comments every now and then about how TSA officers at checkpoint and baggage locations can search the files on your laptop and can also confiscate your computer and copy your hard drive.
This is not true. In fact, we blogged about it back in February of 2008.
Our officers might visually inspect your laptop and perform an explosives trace detection test , but that's it. Our officers don't even turn computers on during inspection.
So where are the reports coming from? They're coming from people who have had their laptops searched by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). For more details on CBP's mission, check out this post from the recently retired Deputy Commissioner at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Jayson Ahern.
So where is the confusion taking place? Well, many passengers often confuse CBP with TSA. Why? They have uniforms with the Department of Homeland Security patch and some people automatically assume they are TSA officers since they're working in an airport capacity. TSA and CBP officers have different uniforms. The CBP uniform is navy blue , while the TSA uniform is more of a royal blue . You will only interact with CBP when you're coming into the country.

Vinyl wall installation

Curated by Alvaro Rodriguez Fominaya
This exhibition is about many things and not all of them within the range of political correctness. It is about how Asia is perceived and constructed, both from within and from the outside. It is about the contemporary challenges we are facing, although these challenges are not unique to Asia. It is about the identity of multiple realities and about the reality of multiple and complex identities.
The exhibition is proposed as a catalytic, discursive device, activated through the artists that are part of this first installment of an improvised project. The narratives included in the show address themes of growth; corruption; memory; history; language; colonialism; and freedom.
Drawing on research in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Indonesia, seven artists are included, across video, performance, installation, text and drawing.
Ai Weiwei's videos document Beijing ring roads, focusing on the 'process of pure observation and the nature of time…and the urban reality that defines Beijing'. Urban reality versus urban utopia is explained through Michael Lee's Spiral Supermart, a new project from the series Second-Hand City, where rubbles of collapsed buildings arrive at a futuristic factory in China to be analyzed, resurrected and displayed for resale. Luke Ching Chin-wai and Huang Xiaopeng focus on language, although their research leads them through different concerns from translation software to impromptu Cantonese lessons for Japanese residents.
Dinu Li addresses the problem of Asia with a more direct strategy, through a video performance denouncing corruption, put in context with the inclusion of archival images from Chinese propaganda films. Leung Chi Wo enacts a new performance based on his My Name is Victoria series, which encompasses references to the colonial past of Hong Kong. Tintin Wulia's installation is a research on the notions of nationality/nation/border through the relationship between citizenship, mobility, and political power, and between territory, mapping and cartography.
This project is conceived as a work-in-progress that is open to other additions and network plug-ins. Australia is a unique location to launch this exhibition, as its multilayered relationship with the idea of Asia provides a cultural framework where the title of the exhibition comes alive.

Beauvoir, Beautiful to View
When I attended my first University of Maryland Historic Preservation Organization (HiPO) meeting in the fall of 2008, the president conducted an icebreaker in which the group took turns introducing themselves and sharing their favorite historic site. I had only been out of the South for two months so naturally I declared my love for Beauvoir, Jefferson Davis's retirement plantation.
Beauvoir originally sat on a parcel of land of approximately 600 acres, which extended from the Gulf of Mexico to Back Bay Biloxi, Mississippi. Since 1848, the property has decreased to a twelfth of its original size and although the visitor may still see the beach from the front porch, Highway 90 and its cars obstruct the view. Although the raised Louisiana cottage still stands, even in lieu of Hurricanes Camille in 1969 and Katrina in 2005, a significant portion of Beauvior is unable to be experienced by the present visitor since the cultural landscape has been destroyed.
The elimination of outbuildings, forestry, and the orange grove (so often noted that a nearby town was named for it) decreased historical viewsheds, which in turn diminished the integrity of the visitor experience. Historic preservation is not solely about the conservation of the built environment, but also about the natural site that surrounds it. When an architect designs a structure, site analysis is a component of the process; therefore preservationists should take into account the thought behind that process and make all attempts to conserve a site, built and natural.

There is no doubt at all that gutters are among the important roofing fixtures. Even in areas with less rain (like San Diego), gutters are an essential part of every home. They can go a long way to ensure you never have to worry about leaks and water damage. But that is not everything. Gutters can also improve your home's market value. So if by any chance you have plans to put up your home for sale, consider remodeling your gutters. But until then, just what does it take to maintain your gutters? Read on to find out.
Consider gutter brands
There are as many gutter manufacturing companies today as there are gutter materials. They all use different brand names. Each brand performs different from the other, as you would expect. Stick to the ones recommended by gutter installation and repair pros. Be sure to go for the ones that offer warranties. You may have to chip in more for them, but you can always be sure they will last. You can also be sure you will get your money back should the gutters fail to perform as the manufacturer promised.
Gutter maintenance
You may have the best gutters in your neighborhood. But failing to take god care of them may mean they won't last for long. The best you can do to ensure your gutters perform well is to consider routine gutter maintenance. Hire a reputable gutter cleaning and maintenance service provider from your area to get the job done. Most gutter installation experts recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year. You can however clean your gutters as much as five times a year.
Fix glitches on time
Gutters are pretty much like cars. A glitch fixed on time costs lest. The same glitch ignored and left to worsen may force one to spend more. So inspect your gutter from time to time. Be on the lookout for leaks, cracked caulking, missing rivets and lose joints. Then fix them on time.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- The Brandeis volleyball team earned its first University Athletic Association win since 2010 today with a four-set victory over NYU at the second UAA Round Robin held at Carnegie Mellon University. After the Judges won the first set, 25-14, the Violets bounced back with a 25-22 victory in the second set. Brandeis closed out the match in the next two sets, 25-17, 25-20. With the win, the Judges improved to 14-7, 1-3 in the UAA, while NYU fell to 13-8, 1-3 UAA.
Brandeis was paced by sophomore outside hitter Liz Hood (Albuquerque, N.M./Albuquerque Acad.), who tied her career-high with 22 kills. Hood also made just five errors in 40 attempts for a .425 hitting percentage, her fifth match hitting better that .400 this season. Junior OH Si-Si Hensley (Fullerton, Calif./Troy) just missed her sixth double-double of the season with nine kills and a team-high 17 digs. Junior middle blocker Lauren Berens (Boulder, Colo./Fairview) added eight kills and four service aces, while rookie middle blocker Maddie Engeler (Sandusky, Ohio/St. Mary Central Catholic) had career highs with nine blocks and six solo blocks.
The Judges also dropped a three-set match to 16th-ranked University of Chicago, 25-21, 25-22, 25-10, dropping their overall record to 14-8, 1-4 UAA. In that match, Hood had 11 kills, but no other Brandeis player registered more than five. Sophomore libero Elsie Bernaiche (Plantville, Conn./Southington) had 15 digs to lead the Judges, while junior setter Yael Einhorn (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill East) had 25 assists.

CairoPlot Makes Pretty Python Plotting a Possibility
Intro to CairoPlot
Data aficionados constantly on the lookout for better ways to display charts and graphs will appreciate CairoPlot. ServerWatch looks at this Python-based plotting software that is pretty enough to impress even the most jaded Mac user.
As a data junkie, I'm forever looking for better ways to display charts and graphs, especially from Python. There are lots of Python plotting packages available, but if you want output that's pretty enough that even your Mac friends will be impressed, consider using CairoPlot.
CairoPlot isn't packaged for most distros, but it's an easy install. The current release is version 1.1 at the CairoPlot Launchpad page. You can download the cairoplot-1.1.tar.gz from there, or check it out with bzr if you prefer. (Once 1.2 is ready the project may move to Sourceforge.)
First, extract the tarball:
then, copy one file, cairoplot-1.1/CairoPlot.py, to the directory where you'll be developing your Python script.
Pie Charts: Who's Sending Spam?
When playing with plotting, finding a good source of data is always the first step. For this project, let's analyze a Postfix log file, /var/log/mail.info to look at the sources of one class of spam.
A casual glimpse through the file reveals we're getting a lot of mail delivery attempts where the sender claims an address that doesn't really exist, like this one:

PORTLAND, Maine — When Reba Short, theater and artistic director for the Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine, read about Rosie, a retired circus elephant who lives in a sanctuary in Hope, Maine, she knew she'd found a story for the stage.
During her performing career, Rosie was pushed against a circus car by another animal — bullied, according to Short — and injured. But she found comfort from a juggler in the circus, Tom Laurita, who years later would found Hope Elephants, the sanctuary in Hope.
"I was really struck by the story of Rosie, and how she was bullied by the other elephants," Short said. "I thought this would be such a beautiful story to use as a tool to talk about bullying — not necessarily as a way to solve bullying, because I don't feel like Children's Theatre is going to solve that — but I thought Rosie's story was a great way to start a dialogue about bullying."
From Rosie's story, Short wrote "The Road to Hope: An Elephant's Story," opening Wednesday at The Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine.
Clad all in gray, with big, floppy ears and a trunk, 14-year-old Riley Mayes lurches and sways across the stage, dragging a chain behind her as she portrays Rosie during her circus years. To prepare Mayes and the other actors for their roles, Short spent a day talking with the kids, ages 8 to 16, about their experiences with bullying.
"I had them all imagine that one kid in their class who is always getting in trouble, that one kid who's really mean," she said. Then the kids talked about why they chose that person, and why they thought he or she was so mean.
"A lot of them had very painful things to talk about with that person," Short said. "Things like, 'This guy punches me in the face every day.' It was really surprising how physical it was, and how painful."
A free performance of "The Road to Hope" is scheduled for July 22 in the public amphitheater outside the Camden Public Library. For tickets or information call 828-1234 or visit www.kitetails.org.

Forum snowboards is a legendary brand. When I was a kid I had a copies of True Life and The Resistance. These movies changed my life. I would watch them over and over again until the tape was all worn out. They got me so stoked to snowboard. I sometimes get worried for kids these days because they don't really have those movies to stoke them out. Sure they have sick snowboard videos that they can watch, but they don't really compare to those movies. Well thankfully Forum snowboard's still in the mix becasue they still make some pretty damn good snowboard movies that make you want to snowboard. #Forum is no exception. It's some totally awesome no bullshit, to the point snowboarding. The intros arn't drawn out, the video's only 20 minutes, and the snowboarding is sick as hell.
Here's a quick breakdown of the video:
–Andreas Wiig is still a beast after all these years.
–Jake Welch put together a killer part despite getting broke off in February.
–Cam Pierce and Austen Sweetin make a good pair. Those dudes can shred.
–Daniel Ek double corks a road gap…
–Mario Kaeppeli is a dude we bet we're going to get way more familiar with.
–Nic Suave has long hair and can mess up a street rail.
–Pat Moore is not a dude to mess with. He's really, really sick.
But don't take it from me, get a copy yourself! You can grab it on iTunes now! Peep the teaser.

The mantra of member retention is "build, build, build relationships." Conceptually, most health club leaders understand that engaging members by connecting on a personal or emotional level will positively affect member retention. But how do you train your team to cultivate relationships that delight your members and inspire loyalty?
Begin by articulating your expectations in terms of concrete behaviors. For team members who have a natural passion for people and service, building relationships may come easily. Others who do not have that innate wiring may find it more difficult to initiate meaningful member contact. By defining for your club what I call "standards of engagement," you will convey with clarity baseline behaviors that increase the likelihood of positive interactions among team members.
In developing standards of engagement for our fitness team at ACAC Fitness and Wellness Centers, we considered common barriers to communicating and developing rapport. These barriers included busy signals, such as closed body language or physical barriers, anonymity, and perceived disinterest or distraction.
To overcome such obstacles, we developed the following list of objectives that encourage team members to move, interact and approach people as they supervise the fitness floor.
Move. Move continuously throughout the assigned area of coverage. Limit time at the fitness desk to three minutes unless assisting a member in person or over the phone. Ensure that only one fitness specialist is behind the desk at a time. Keep conversations with other team members to a minimum, no more than three minutes at a time. Look for and correct any misplaced items and unsightly messes, such as disorganized paper, towels that are left behind or equipment that is dirty.
Interact. Greet members by name. Offer to help members with their technique or progression of exercises. Initiate meaningful conversations with members about their workouts and their lives. Actively listen when interacting with members. Proactively seek to establish new relationships with members.
Approach. Smile, keep your head up and make eye contact with members. Adopt a face-to-face body position when speaking to members. Walk at a leisurely pace while scanning for members who may need assistance. Avoid crossing arms or placing hands on hips.
Once your expectations have been established and communicated, regular observation and follow-up are critical to recognize and reinforce strong performance and to identify areas for improvement. Our club's fitness director schedules three team member observations per week, rating them on each of the above categories. Each department head also completes two evaluations per pay period. Collecting this information on an ongoing basis builds a body of data over time that is far more valuable than making generalizations based on isolated incidents on the fitness floor.
Members also contribute to the evaluation process. In addition to gathering informal feedback, we ask members to complete a short survey about their experience on the fitness floor. We encourage them to rate on a scale of 1 to 10 how well we delivered service on the fitness floor today. We also ask if a team member assisted them today and on a scale of 1 to 10, how friendly and approachable was the fitness team. Keeping this data collection and review process simple allows us to direct attention quickly to areas that may need it.
Implementing these standards of engagement is just one step, albeit an important one, toward creating a meaningful club experience for our members. By defining tangible, measurable behaviors that are aligned with our club's vision, mission and purpose, we are in a better position to provide value and service. At the very least, we will improve our interactions and build rapport with our members.
More substantially, however, we expect to increase member satisfaction, inspire loyalty and earn the trust of our members, thereby keeping their business and winning their referrals.
Christine Thalwitz is director of communications and research at ACAC Fitness and Wellness Centers. She emphasizes that the difference between a complaint and an opportunity is our perception, attitude and response.

Video of TSA pat down of girl sparks new debate
A Kentucky couple wants the TSA to change how it screens children after their 6-year-old daughter was frisked at the New Orleans airport.
They posted the video on YouTube. It happened while the family was headed home from a vacation earlier this month.
The girl's father, Todd Drexel, told Good Morning America that Anna was confused by the search and started crying afterward because she thought she'd done something wrong.
In a statement, the Transportation Security Administration says the officer followed proper procedure but that the agency is reviewing its screening policies.
What do you think about the screening? Should the TSA change how it screens children? Click on comment to add to the discussion. We may post what you write here or use it on Eyewitness News.

Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon, 45% abv (90 proof), $28-35/bottle
Old familiar as I call it. Elmer T. Lee is quite possibly one of the most comforting Bourbons or Whiskey's of any kind made today. The first whiff floods the nose with Maple, Caramel, gentle spice, and the wonderful bright notes of citrus and orange peel. The sip echoes the nose beautifully with caramel, maple, honey, vanilla, bitter orange, and light oak. The finish is moderately long with gentle spice coating the tongue. Just a brilliantly crafted bourbon of balance – deep and rich, yet so easily drinkable. A perfect bourbon for the novice and the connoisseur alike. And to think a Bourbon icon like Elmer T. Lee still selects the barrels to this day. Makes it all the more special. Highly recommended. Note: Bottled expressly for Brinkmann's Wine and Spirits, Franklin, TN.
Sour Mash Manifesto Rating: 9.2 (Superb/Outstanding)

Hey everyone, you should join us for Maria's talk on Monday at 7pm.
Sailing away from Cape Town's shores on the 17th of September 2008, there was no certainty of me visiting all the magical places I had seen in photographs and coffee table books. As a marine biologist and avid seabird lover, it was my dream to observe albatrosses during their short visits to pristine sub-Antarctic islands scattered in the southern ocean.
No sooner had I discovered that it was possible to sail there, I initiated a process that would take me on a voyage that I would never forget. In my talk I will give you a maritime glimpse of my adventures to lands surrounding the most productive oceanic corner of the Southern Ocean, the Scotia Sea. After hitchhiking to the Falkland Islands, I crewed on expedition yachts to South Georgia, the Beagle channel, Cape Horn and finally Antarctica. Notes on the geography, climate, oceanography, history, demographics, wildlife and some quirky stories during my month-long stays will inspire the adventurer in you.
Some boats offered luxury, some boats offered warmth, some boats offered security, but none offered all of the above. The Southern Ocean is an unmerciful force of nature, a challenge for any sailor who dares attempt to discover its glorious jewels!
Please join me, Maria Honig, as I take you through my photographic quest.

California Prunes are enjoyed around the world!
California Prunes are enjoyed around the world. Explore the diverse cultural, historical importance and popularity of California Prunes internationally.
JapanView website
Fun Facts
In Japan, prunes–which are sold door-to-door in a paste form–are considered as a delicacy with vital skin and hair enhancing properties.
Popular Snacks or Uses
A major Japanese snack manufacturer, Tohato, recently launched a new prune cookie called "All Prune" as a limited edition product in February 2013. The prunes are sandwiched between yogurt flavored dough, then stretched to retain moisture for baking. (Contains 14 pieces / 160 JPY)
Local Events
The popularity of baking at home has risen due to economic stagnancy, as well as an increased availability of at home baking equipment. People who enjoy baking at home tend to purchase their ingredients sparingly in order to avoid carrying heavy bags. On-line shopping sites specialized for home cooks have in turn become very popular. This retail sector offers potential growth for California Prunes and three major sites have been selected to conduct tie-in sales promotions:
Cultural or Historical Significance
The image of prunes among the Japanese isn't just related to their daily diet, but also beauty regimen. Cosmetic companies use the extracted substance of prunes as a beauty ingredient for skin moisturizing and brightening. Even shampoos and hair conditioners contain prunes, too!
