TRAIN passengers in Hampshire are facing days of travel misery as Mother Nature continues to batter the region.
South West Trains are warning passengers that there will be disruption between Eastleigh and Fareham for up to four days as they battled to unblock the lines after a landslip caused by last night's storms.
Flooding in the Botley area caused the landslip along the railway embankment, which has meant that no services can run through Botley or Hedge End stations.
As a result, trains services running through Eastleigh and Fareham, including Southampton to Portsmouth and Waterloo to Portsmouth, may be delayed by up to 30 minutes or diverted at short notice.
Replacement bus services will be running to get passengers from Fareham and Eastleigh stations to Botley and Hedge End.
A statement from South West Trains said: "We are very sorry for the disruption this will cause to your journey while essential maintenance is carried out on this line.
"Replacement road transport services are conveying passengers between Eastleigh and Fareham via Botley in both directions until further notice."
The storms last night have also left many on the roads facing difficult journeys across the county, with severe flooding in Maple Road, Hythe and Bridge Street, Titchfield.
But there is still more to come, with the Met Office issuing a yellow wind warning for Hampshire over the next few days as gusts are set to reach up to 70mph.
This could result in large waves "over-topping" along some coastlines and the public are being warned to be aware of this hazard.
Winds will ease from the south later today but will return tomorrow and into Monday.

(too big for) Hidden Gem: Chase & StatusFebruary 27th, 2011 by @E_Wish1 | Dance, Electropop, Pop |
Chase & Status are an electro duo who hail from London, UK. It consists of Saul "Chase" Milton and Will "Status" Kennard. The duo have a very unique electronic/pop sound to their music and have quite catchy tracks. They have actually been quite popular in England for a while and currently have over 3,000 fans on their facebook page. They are just now starting to become mainstream. I actually just heard them on XM radio the other day. Their first album, More Than Alot, debuted in the UK album charts at number 49 on October 19, 2008. Since then they have been up to a lot with tours all over England and many other parts of Europe. They just released their second album, No More Idols, on January 31st and it's a good one. Expect a lot from this electro duo in the near future. In the meantime, enjoy two of my favorite tracks by them "Streetlife" (featuring Takura) and "End Credits" (featuring Plan B).

Promising uses of technology in education in poor, rural and isolated communities around the world
One persistent challenge for educational policymakers and planners related to the potential use of informational and communication technologies (ICTs) in remote, low income communities around the world is that most products, services, usage models, expertise, and research related to ICT use in education come from high-income contexts and environments.
One consequence is that technology-enabled 'solutions' are imported and 'made to fit' into what are often much more challenging environments. When they don't work, or where they are too expensive to be replicated at any scale, this is taken as 'evidence' that ICT use in education in such places is irrelevant -- and possibly irresponsible.
That said, lessons are being learned as a result of emerging practices, both good and bad, in the use of ICTs in education in low resource, poor, rural and isolated communities in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacific that may be useful to help guide the planning and implementation of educational technology initiatives in such environments. (It may even turn out that the technological innovations that emerge from such places many have a wider relevance …. but that is a topic for another discussion.)
Products like the BRCK (a connectivity device designed and prototyped in Nairobi, Kenya by many of the people behind Ushahidi to better address user needs in places where electricity and internet connections are, for lack of a better word, 'problematic') and MobiStation (a solar-powered 'classroom in a suitcase' which features a projector and lots of off-line educational content developed by UNICEF Uganda) remain notable exceptions to the lamentable reality that, for the most part, 'solutions' touted for use in schools in e.g. rural Africa, or in isolated communities in the Andes, are designed elsewhere, with little understanding of the practical day-to-day realities and contexts in which such technologies are to be used. Many people who have lived and worked in such environments are quite familiar with well-meaning but comparatively high cost efforts often informed more by the marketing imperatives embedded in many corporate social responsibility efforts than by notions of cost-effectiveness and sustainability over time or the results of user-centered design exercises.

The visual of the diminutive Dudley Moore standing beside giant wrestlers like Andre the Giant, Big John Studd and Hard Boiled Haggerty had to have been one of the selling points behind the 1984 film Micki + Maude.
But the comedic actor was game for the part, stacking his 5-foot-2 frame up in the Blake Edwards-directed flick, where he tries to juggle two pregnant wives at the same time.
For a wrestling fan, the joy is in the significant part for Haggerty, who plays the overprotective father of Maude (Amy Irving). Unlike many children of wrestlers, however, in the film Maude is a cellist rather than an up-and-coming female wrestler.
Other wrestlers in the film include Chief Jay Strongbow, "Wildman" Jack Armstrong and "Judo" Gene LeBell.
Before introducing her fiance Rob Salinger (Moore) to her father, Maude soothes him: "Don't worry, Daddy gets along with everybody."
After the couple watches match with Gorilla Muldoon (Haggerty) against Armstrong, they go backstage. Haggerty gets great glee out of introducing his son-in-law-to-be around to the boys. He insists on buying them a house as a wedding present with his longest speech in the movie, an attempt to prove that wrestlers are a little more than just muscle.
"Rob, listen, Maude's only going to get married once," Muldoon opines. "I mean, why does a man wrestle for 30 years. What does he kill himself for? Calculating T-bills, IRAs, money market rates ... It'll make me feel like a king to do this for you."
The film marked a bit of a comeback for the director Edwards. He had been a Hollywood darling in the late 1950s and early 1960s, writing and directing hits like Breakfast At Tiffany's, The Pink Panther, Operation Petticoat and Days Of Wine And Roses. Then he lost his touch, delivering flops like The Tamarind Seed, Darling Lili and The Wild Rovers.
Edwards reluctantly worked with the difficult Peter Sellers on a number of other Pink Panther / Inspector Clouseau films before regaining his form with the Bo Derek starring vehicle, 10, which also had Moore and Edwards' second wife Julie Andrews.
Then it seemed to fall apart again, with a couple of Pink Panther flops and The Man Who Loved Women. Edwards battled the Hollywood structure continually, and his scathing flick, S.O.B., was a middle finger to the establishment.
The reception for Micki + Maude was a relief for Edwards. "It was gratifying," he told Toronto Star movie writer Ron Base. "After you go through a long period of -- I can't think of a better word -- misery. There are those times that make up for everything."
According to Irving, Edwards let the actors have a little input. No doubt the wrestlers took full advantage. "Some directors, in addition to shooting the master shot, make you do it from many different angles plus close-ups and two-shots, but Blake lets the actors play the scene out so that the actors are given the responsibility of the timing for a scene," she said in a press release for the movie. "That way, rather than creating the humor, the camera creates the performances."
As Micki, Reinking played an ambitious lawyer, the husband of Moore's Rob. She also found working with Edwards interesting. "Blake has a different approach, a different point of view, and something comes out of it that's unique," she said in a press release.
Leonard Maltin called the film a "surprisingly warmhearted comedy that turns into old-fashioned farce" that runs out of steam. He gave it 2.5 stars. Pauline Kael praised the actors. "The movie may seem insipid to people who want something substantial, but there's a special delight about the timing of actors who make fools of themselves as personably and airily as Dudley Moore and Amy Irving do here. He's romantic in the silken, self-effacing manner of Cary Grant, and her acting is a form of heavenly flirtation."
Roger Ebert liked it a little better, scoring it with 4 stars. "The last twenty minutes of Micki + Maude, as the two pregnant women move inexorably forward on their collision course, represents a kind of filmmaking that is as hard to do as anything you'll ever see on a screen," Ebert wrote. "The timing has to be flawless. So does the logic: One loose end, and the inevitability of a slapstick situation is undermined. Edwards and Moore are working at the top of their forms here, and the result is a pure, classic slapstick that makes Micki + Maude a real treasure."
In the end, it was not the biggest movie of Dudley Moore's career; but nor was it the worst. His biographer, Douglas Thompson, caught Moore in a reflective state. "I'm a little baffled why 10 and Arthur took off and others didn't. I mean, I've known other pictures that I've done, Micki + Maude, Six Weeks, and I thought: 'My God, this is terrific, not getting very much reaction.'"

Pack your swimming costumes - we are introducing swimming in the lake at this year's festival.
With only a couple of weeks to go, we are delight to announced that for the first time, Picnickers will have the opportunity to swim in the lake at Electric Picnic. The manmade lake was created by the Cosby family, the ancestral owners of Stradbally Hall, during the early 18th Century. Since then it has been maintained by the family, including a memorable excavation during the 1870s when a hundred men, who worked in the local malting factory, manually dredged the lake.
To reach the lake, follow the sign-posted riverside path leading from the Jimi Hendrix Campsite area. Picnic lifeguards will be on duty to watch out for everyone's safety over the course of the weekend.
Adults can participate as long as they are competent swimmers, while kids can splash around when accompanied by a responsible adult who can swim.
Opening times:
Friday: 2pm -5pm families only / 5.30pm-7.00pm adults only
Saturday: 10am-1pm families only / 1.30pm-7.00pm adults only
Sunday: 10am-1pm families only / 1.30pm-7.00pm adults only

Russell Wilson still feels at home at N.C. State
Russell Wilson feels the same way about the places he's called home along his road to football stardom as a father does about his children.
He loves them all the same. Just in different ways. The Seattle Seahawks quarterback is in the process of showing that affection with an impromptu homecoming tour that will see him spend the summer staging youth football camps literally from coast-to-coast — including his first college alma mater, N.C.

California Department of Transportation
Date: March 21, 2014
District: 9
Contact: Florene Trainor, Public Information Officer
Phone: 760-872-0603
$165 million will upgrade bridges, repair rough pavement,
and keep pavement in good condition from deteriorating
BISHOP – Californians will be driving on smoother roads, safer bridges, and enjoying the benefits of enhanced transit thanks to $334 million in new funding allocated to 53 projects by the California Transportation Commission.
The allocations include approximately $165 million to repair bumpy pavement, preserve roads that are in good condition from worsening, and upgrade bridges to make them safer and stronger. Most of California's highways are more than a half-century old, and they carry nearly half of the nation's container freight – heavy loads that pound our highways more than any other state.
"To get the most bang for the buck for taxpayers, Caltrans targets dollars where they are most effective - pavement preservation," Dougherty said. "Every $1 spent on preventive pavement maintenance saves Californians $11 that would have been spent on future pavement repairs."
Currently, 84 percent, or 42,000 lane miles of California highways are in good operating condition. Caltrans' goal is to reach 90 percent by 2023, which is a challenge as funding is declining and highways are aging. In 2013, Caltrans repaired 76,808 potholes on the Golden State's 50,000 highway lane miles. This was down nearly 100,000 potholes from a few years prior due to Caltrans' repaving efforts.
The allocations also include $64 million from Proposition 1B, a transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. To date, more than $17 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been put to work statewide for transportation purposes.
The remaining funding allocations came from assorted transportation accounts funded by state and federal dollars.
Some of the projects that received funding support include:
- $1,419,000 was allocated for roadway rehabilitation in Chalfant. The outcome is to rehabilitate and extend the useful life of 5.5 miles of deteriorated 12-foot wide roadway
Please see the attached file for more information about all projects that received allocations.

LAGRANGE, IL — Earlier this year, Highland School Physical Educators Beth Eskra, Cheryl Groetsma and Kevin Kolar introduced Postural Awareness Training (PAT), a postural fitness education program, into the physical education (PE) curriculum at LaGrange Middle School in LaGrange, IL. The program was originally designed by Right Fit-Education, a group that designs fitness and wellness programs that establish lifelong healthy habits for all ages with an emphasis on youth and youth with special needs. Students attended the postural fitness education classes twice a week as a supplement to their normal physical education program.
The PAT program benefits more than 300 students at LaGrange Highlands Middle School District. Right Fit and the Highlands Physical Education team work together to teach age-appropriate physical activities designed to increase the students' fitness and wellness. Right Fit-Education taught the Highlands middle school teachers the PAT techniques, and the school disctrict can continue to use the program after its initial six-week session. Elements of the program include an in-depth computerized postural assessment, fitness program and an individualized posture report card.

Before you begin
Make sure that you have what you need:
- Enough free disk space to create a Boot Camp disk partition* with a minimum size of 64GB. 128GB is recommended for the best experience.
- An external keyboard and mouse or trackpad (if you're using a Mac desktop computer).
- A blank 16GB or larger USB 2 flash drive. If you have one of these Mac models, you don't need a flash drive.
* On Mac computers with APFS-formatted disks, Boot Camp requires a partition rather than a volume.
1. Find out if your Mac supports Windows 10
These Mac models support the 64-bit version of Windows 10 Home or Pro edition installed with Boot Camp. Use About This Mac to find out which Mac you have, then see if it's on this list:
- MacBook Pro (2012 and later)
- MacBook Air (2012 and later)
- MacBook (2015 and later)
- iMac Pro (2017)
- iMac (2012 and later)*
- Mac mini (2012 and later)
- Mac mini Server (Late 2012)
- Mac Pro (Late 2013)
* Learn more about installing Windows and macOS Mojave on iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), or iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) configured with 3TB hard drives.
2. Get a Windows disk image
You need a Microsoft Windows disk image (ISO) or installation media containing a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 10 Home or Pro edition. If you're installing Windows for the first time, use a full version, not an upgrade.
When you buy Windows, it comes as a disk image file (ISO) that you download, or as an installation disc or USB flash drive. If you download Windows, make sure that you do so only from the Microsoft Software Download page. If your copy of Windows came on a DVD, you might need to create a disk image of it to work with Boot Camp. If your version of Windows came on a USB flash drive, you can download an ISO from Microsoft.
3. Open Boot Camp Assistant
Boot Camp Assistant guides you through installing Windows on your Mac. Open this app from the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder. Then follow the onscreen instructions to repartition your startup disk and download related software drivers for Windows.
If you're prompted during installation, connect a blank USB 2 flash drive.
4. Format your Windows partition
When you complete the assistant, your Mac restarts to the Windows installer. If you're using a flash drive or optical drive to install Windows, you're asked where you want to install Windows. Select the BOOTCAMP partition, then click Format. If you're not using a flash drive or optical drive, the correct partition is selected and formatted for you automatically.
5. Install Windows and Windows Support Software
Unplug any external devices, such as displays and disks, that aren't necessary during installation. Then follow the onscreen prompts to install Windows.
When installation is complete, your Mac starts up in Windows and launches an installer for Windows Support Software. If the screen that says "Welcome to the Boot Camp installer" doesn't appear automatically, you can install Windows Support Software manually.
6. Switch between macOS and Windows
After installing both Windows and Windows Support Software, you can switch back to macOS using the Boot Camp system tray item in Windows. Select the macOS volume, then restart your Mac.
To switch from macOS to Windows, use the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Boot Camp volume, then restart your Mac. You can also hold down the Option key after restarting your Mac to choose between macOS and Windows.
Learn more
With OS X El Capitan 10.11 or later, these models use the internal drive to temporarily store what you need to install Windows, so you don't need a USB flash drive:
- MacBook Pro (2015 and later)*
- MacBook Air (2015 and later)*
- MacBook (2015 and later)
- iMac (2015 and later)
- iMac Pro
- Mac Pro (Late 2013)
For more information about using Windows on your Mac, click the Open Boot Camp Help button in Boot Camp Assistant. These resources also contain helpful information:

I've been running this site since 1996 so I have yet to have the privilege of covering a Stanley Cup Final. Years of hoping and waiting have finally ended, and here we are with the Canucks in the finals for the 3rd time in their 40 year history. It's been an exhausting playoffs and it seems like forever since they started. The NHL's brilliant plan to wait so long to start the final haven't helped but here we sit on the verge of the biggest playoff series in Canucks history.
So here we have it, our last preview of the playoffs, as we take a look at the Canucks and Bruins, for all the marbles.
If the NHL wanted two of the best teams in the NHL, they certainly got it. That said the two teams are built very differently. Vancouver built on depth and speed and the flexibility to play multiple styles. The Bruins are built on toughness, hard work and solid defense. The Canucks have proven over the course of the regular season and in the playoffs that they can play any style you want to, and they attempt to dictate what style their opponents play as well. Can the Bruins play multiple styles and adapt to a faster Western Conference? They did in the only meeting between the two clubs this year, leaving Rogers Arena with a 3-1 win.
The keys to the series:
The Canucks are the favourites in the series and with good reason. We all know they ran away with the President's Trophy and have been picked by many to win it all. To beat Boston, the Canucks are going to have to use their speed to make Boston's defenders chase them. Puck movement, getting to open spaces quickly and efficiently will be crucial to Vancouver's success.
The defensive pairing of Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg will be assigned to contain the Sedin twins who returned to form against the Sharks. The Bruins have strong penalty killing led by Chara and goaltender Tim Thomas and if the Canucks are to be successful their five on five play has to be better than it was against San Jose where they did most of their damage on the power play. They have to generate more shots at even strength, more quality chances, and get Tim Thomas moving in the net.
If the series becomes a parade to the penalty box the Canucks chances are likely increased, as long as that parade includes both teams. The Bruins power play has been brutal in the playoffs and that's being kind. The Canucks however have been very effective.
For Boston to win they need to control the Sedin line. The twins struggled to find space against Chicago's Seabrook and Keith and Nashville's Weber and Suter. They thrived against the Sharks who don't have a defensive pairing of the ilk of Chara and Seidenberg. But the Bruins will also need to pay attention to Ryan Kesler, who will have used the lengthy break to get as close to 100% as possible and who almost single handedly led the Canucks against Nashville. Kesler may revert to a defensive role again, concentrating on shutting down the Bruins big line of Milan Lucic, David Krejci and Nathan Horton. But the Bruins roll four lines consistently, and the Canucks may be forced to do the same if they want to keep fresh legs out there. With Vancouver's fourth line a revolving door, Alain Vigneault may have to find a trio he can stick with and give them more minutes. That will require relying on some youth, particularly if Manny Malhotra can't get the green light to play.
Both teams sport pests that will attempt to get under the oppositions skin. The Canucks Torres and Lappiere will counter Boston's Brad Marchand.
The biggest battle however will be between two Vezina finalists in Roberto Luongo and Tim Thomas. In three career starts against Vancouver, Thomas has allowed just one goal. Not a large body of work, but it does indicate what impact Thomas can have in a seven game series. Luongo has been solid after a speed bump against the Hawks and despite some untimely goals at times has played a huge role in the success of his team. His performance in game 5 against San Jose was one of his best ever.
Both teams will attempt to get traffic in front of the net and the Bruins have the bigger bodies to do just that. The Canucks defense will have to be at their best to allow Luongo to see the puck as much as possible. The Bruins will have to contend mostly with Kesler and Burrows who will see a lot of Mr. Chara and will have to pay the price. The Canucks have generated fourteen goals from their defence to Boston's eight and whatever team can get their back end involved will have a great advantage.
If you're into stats, here is a nice little package compiled by James Mirtle at the Globe & Mail. By the numbers this could be an incredible final and a very competitive one. It could go down the wire but for some reason I just have a gut feeling the Canucks are a team of destiny. They have been the best team in the league almost from start to finish. They have demonstrated they can play any style they need to and in my opinion they are deeper than the Bruins.
The Bruins will put up a tough fight and the games will be close. But I think the Canucks find a way to win this series in six games and win the first Stanley Cup in franchise history and what an incredible end to an amazing 40th anniversary season that would be.

Chances are any of the cluster interconnects will have better latency times than Ethernet, but that comes at a cost. Ethernet can also do harmful things like dropping packets, where some interconnects do reliable message transmission in the hardware. Thus for ethernet the OS must something like TCP. So I think it is probably better to compare a real tree or fat tree dedicated interconnect to the torus for your situation. The real latency should be measured from application level to application level, and often the latency measurements are from NIC to NIC, but many of the expensive interconnect NICs and switches can perform routing and other functions(TCP,sockets,etc.) that would be done by the OS in a Linux cluster with a standard ethernet card. Even though these are not huge time consuming issues, even a few OS context switches and a few interrupts may be needed to send or receive a message, which can take valuable nanoseconds or maybe microseconds.

Earlier this week, Bears running back Matt Forte said that he planned on playing in Week 17 against the Lions and coach Lovie Smith said that linebacker Brian Urlacher had a "chance" of returning for the regular season finale.
Things are looking better on the Forte front after Thursday's practice. Forte was able to practice in a limited fashion after sitting out Wednesday's session, a good sign that his ankle injury is progressing fast enough for him to play in a game the Bears have to win to have any chance of making the playoffs.
"[He's] making a lot of progress," Smith said, via the Chicago Sun-Times. "[He] was able to get some reps in today. He looked pretty good. We're hopeful for him, which we thought all along. I know he's been pretty optimistic about the plan. So hopefully that will be the case."
Urlacher was seen testing his hamstring in Arizona before last Sunday's game, but he hasn't practiced either day this week and looks like a long shot to make it back on the field this week. If that's the case, it will be up to his teammates (and the Vikings) to decide whether there will be another chance for him to play this season.

Author Notes: My mother has many specialties, but her Chocolate Dump-It Cake is most beloved in my family. She kept this cake in the fridge, and it is sublime even when cold. I wrote about this cake in my second book, Cooking for Mr. Latte, but wanted to celebrate it here on food52, as well. —Amanda Hesser
Serves: 10
Prep time: 45 min
Cook time: 1 hrs
cups sugar
ounces unsweetened chocolate
pound unsalted butter (1 stick), plus more for greasing the pan
cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pan
teaspoons baking soda
teaspoon baking powder
teaspoon sea salt
cup milk
teaspoon cider vinegar
teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2
cups Nestle's semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2
cups sour cream, at room temperature
In This Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 375°F, and place a baking sheet on the lowest rack, to catch any drips when the cake bakes. Put the sugar, unsweetened chocolate, butter and 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Place over medium heat and stir occasionally until all of the ingredients are melted and blended. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, stir together the milk and vinegar. Grease and flour a 9-inch tube pan. (If you prefer, you can grease it, line it with parchment and then grease and flour it. This is not necessary, but parchment does make getting the cake out easier.)
- When the chocolate in the pan has cooled a bit, whisk in the milk mixture and eggs. In several additions and without overmixing, whisk in the dry ingredients. When the mixture is smooth, add the vanilla and whisk once or twice, to blend. Pour the batter into the tube pan and bake on the middle rack until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let the cake cool completely, then remove from the pan and cool on a rack. (This can be tricky – if someone is around, enlist them to help. Place a ring of wax paper on top of the cake so you have something to grab onto when turning it out.)
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler, then let cool to room temperature. It is very important that the chocolate and sour cream be the same temperature, otherwise the icing will be lumpy or grainy. (Test it by stirring a little of the sour cream and chocolate together in a bowl; if it mixes smoothly, it's ready.) Stir in the sour cream, 1/4 cup at a time, until the mixture is smooth. Taste some! It's good.
- Cut the cake into two layers. Lay the top layer, top-side-down onto a cake plate (or whatever serving platter you like). Spread with icing. Top with the bottom layer, setting the bottom-side-up. This will give you a straighter edge (see photo of finished cake). Ice the top, sides, and center. (If you like a lot of icing, use 2 cups chocolate chips and 2 cups sour cream). My mother uses any leftover icing to make flowers on top. She dabs small rosettes, or buttons, on top, then uses toasted almond slices as the petals, pushing them in around the base of the rosette.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Two more cuts were made Wednesday as the Padres prepared to head to Glendale and an exhibition against the Chicago White Sox (1:05 p.m.; 1700-AM).
Catcher Yasmani Grandal was optioned to Triple-A Tucson and left-handed pitcher Alex Hinshaw was re-assigned to the minor league camp.
Thirty-eight players remain in the major league camp after the moves. The Padres must trim 13 players by Opening Day on April 4.
In other news, Kyle Blanks said he was returning to full baseball activity Wednesday as his left shoulder continued to show marked improvement. And Padres manager Bud Black said second baseman Orlando Hudson would be in the lineup Thursday.
Grandal, 23, was one of four players acquired from Cincinnati in the Mat Latos trade. The switch-hitting catcher was rated as the third-best player in the Reds system.
Grandal hit .353 this spring with two homers and 11 RBI. He was the 12th overall pick in the 2010 draft and last year climbed from Single-A to Triple-A in the Reds system.
"Being here was good for Grandal," said Black. "His work with Terry Kennedy, Brad Ausmus and John Gibbons helped him on the defensive side. We saw some great at-bats from him over the last 10 days."
Black believes the Padres overall depth at catcher is as good as it's been since he became the manager in 2007.
"I don't think the catching has ever been deeper," said Black. In addition to Nick Hundley and John Baker on the major league side and Grandal, the Padres list of catchers includes 2011 high draftee Austin Hedges, Jason Hagerty and strong defensive catchers Eddy Rodriguez and Ali Solis.
Hinshaw, 29, a product of San Diego State with major league experience, had a 5.63 earned run average this spring.
"Hinshaw has a good arm," said Black. "You can't deny the talent, 93-94 with a slider. It's in there. It's a matter of consistency and the ball-strike ratio."
On the injury front, Black said relief pitcher Luke Gregerson continued to be day-to-day with back spasms. Starter Jeff Suppan is scheduled to play catch again in a continued test of his triceps strain.
Cameron Maybin will lead-off and play center for the Padres today in Glendale. He will be followed by Will Venable, RF; Chase Headley, 3B; Jesus Guzman, DH; Yonder Alonso, 1B; Jeremy Hermida, LF; John Baker, C; Jason Bartlett, SS, anD Andy Parrino, 2B.
Right-hander Edinson volquez is scheduled to pitch six innings against the White Sox with Huston Street working one inning and Anthony Bass two.

No Correlation Between Cell Phones and Cancer
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Cell Phones,
The on-again-off-again relationship linking cancer to cell phone usage continues. This time, a recent study from the Danish Cancer Society in Copenhagen states that there has been sufficient evidence to state that cell phones do not increase the chance of brain tumors. Most studies that have stated otherwise in the past were criticized by how the studies were conducted. However, Dr Johansen of the Danish Cancer Society said: "We won't be able to make any firm conclusions until we can confirm these results with studies with more long-term and heavy cell phone users." Talk on.

Current Gen Xbox Games Will Be Released Through 2007
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Video Games,
Good news for all current and future Xbox owners, Microsoft has informed Reuters that they plan to keep releasing games for their current system up to 2007. The company also stated that 2007 is not a definite stop – they could keep making games well beyond that point. Even though their new system is anticipated to be released by the end of this year, the current Xbox will not be forgotten. Microsoft has not yet stated if the Xbox successor will be backwards compatible – we are just going to wait until May 16th to find out. If it is, though, then why would they make such a big deal about supporting the current Xbox with software? Nonetheless, until we can cough up the cash for the Xbox 360, we can keep our current Xbox game collection happy with fresh titles.

Pilgrim's Wilderness: A True Story of Faith and Madness on the Alaska Frontier
The last speaker in the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy's 2014 Climate and Energy Bookshelf speaker series is a fellow Alaskan. I have been reading journalist and author Tom Kizzia's stories since I first started following the news as a teenager. As a reporter for Alaska's largest newspaper, the Anchorage Daily News, Mr. Kizzia has been on the front lines of our state's most pressing issues for years.
His recent book Pilgrim's Wilderness: A True Story of Faith and Madness on the Alaska Frontier, one of Amazon's best books of 2013, details the strange (but true) journey of the self-proclaimed Papa Pilgrim, who established his wife and fifteen children in America's largest national park in south-central Alaska. The Wrangell St.-Elias Park, at over thirteen million acres, is larger than the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Jersey combined. When the Pilgrims moved there in 2002, they challenged the National Park Service's authority to conserve the nation's protected areas, and their attempts to bulldoze thirteen miles of road and to develop their property inside the park touched off one of the most-visible controversies between environmentalists, government officials and local land-rights advocates in a generation.
The Pilgrims story will be the focus of Mr. Kizzia's lecture "Frontier Gothic: Transcendentalists, Puritans, and Pilgrims in Alaska" on Wednesday April 23 at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies (also available for live stream at http://new.livestream.com/YaleFES/frontier-gothic). If you are interested in battles over national parks or protected areas, public land vs. private property disputes, religious connections to the wilderness, or Alaska's many environmental debates, this talk is for you.
Today Wrangell St. Elias Park, with about 25 percent of its land is covered by glaciers, is a hotbed not only for the land conflicts between the federal government and the region's sparse inhabitants, but also a nexus between climate change and its impacts on wilderness areas. The National Park Service and other organizations, such as the National Parks Conservation Association, are monitoring how climate change is impacting the area's glaciers and weather. They claim melting glaciers and ice within the region are uncovering many Native American and former mining industry artifacts that were left after the area's early 1900s copper mining rush, artifacts that archaeologists are trying to preserve amidst global change. I look forward to seeing everyone at the lecture.
Verner Wilson, III, is a first-year Master of Environmental Management candidate at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. He is originally from Bristol Bay, Alaska, and obtained a bachelor's degree in Environmental Studies in 2008 from Brown University. He previously worked for the World Wildlife Fund, as well as a coalition of Alaska Native tribes, on issues related to sustainable wild salmon fisheries, environmental justice, mining, oil and gas, and climate change.

The open source web server Nginx has been winning an increasing amount of interest among the developer community in recent months. This is the finding of Internet research analysts Netcraft in its January 2012 review of the world web space. Of the 583 million sites now estimated to be on the Internet, Nginx added 6.9 million new hostnames in the last month of 2011.
Acknowledging the existence of competitors in this market, cofounder of Nginx Andrey Alexeev explained that while Apache was always meant to be a general purpose web server, his company's offering has set out to "overcome certain barriers in Apache architecture" as he puts it; i.e., the associated application software. Nginx is said to interact with application servers, with memcached/NoSQL solutions, and can put on a fair job of handling SSL too. It can also do HTTP streaming for FLV/MP4 videos and load balance across backend applications.
Speaking directly to Dr. Dobb's, Alexeev said that Nginx is a good choice to solve concurrency problem and optimize latency at the front end part of a website. One user is quoted as saying, "If it's a lower concurrency site where the bottleneck is down to PHP or Ruby or whatever processing issue, then Nginx is less helpful. In those cases we need to look more into caching of code and data. Once caching is in place, Nginx may be great if it still needs more of a traffic boost."
Alexeev says that many developers are now replacing Apache with Nginx as they want to try something new and "better suited" to a layered architecture. "They want to switch to a different architecture in regards to integration with the applications; that is, switch from mod_php or mod_perl with Apache to php-fpm or fastcgi/perl with Nginx. There are several reasons why it might be a good idea to switch — ranging from a better utilization of hardware resources (and a better performance) to something like improved security and making the entire configuration more flexible," said Alexeev.
He continued, "The Ruby on Rails community appreciated Nginx a while ago, and there have been many followers among Ruby developers. With third-party software vendors like Passenger/mod_rails for Nginx and Unicorn, a lot of Ruby developers switched to Nginx for Ruby. The reasons are much the same — looking for a more scalable architecture with the application servers neatly separated from the 'concurrency/static content' layer, flexible to play around, test, change, launch, and develop further."

Taming Light and Electrons with Metamaterials
Published on
In recent years, in my group we have been working on various aspects of metamaterials and plasmonic nano-optics. We have introduced and been developing the concept of "metatronics", i.e. metamaterial-inspired optical nanocircuitry, in which the three fields of "electronics", "photonics" and "magnetics" can be brought together seamlessly under one umbrella – a paradigm which I call the "Unified Paradigm of Metatronics". In this novel optical circuitry, the nanostructures with specific values of permittivity and permeability may act as the lumped circuit elements such as nanocapacitors, nanoinductors and nanoresistors. Nonlinearity in metatronics can also provide us with novel nonlinear lumped elements. We have investigated the concept of metatronics through extensive analytical and numerical studies, computer simulations, and recently in a set of experiments at the IR wavelengths. We have shown that nanorods made of low-stressed Si3N4 with properly designed cross sectional dimensions indeed function as lumped circuit elements at the IR wavelengths between 8 to 14 microns. We have been exploring how metamaterials can be exploited to control the flow of photons, analogous to what semiconductors do for electrons, providing the possibility of one-way flow of photons. We are now extending the concept of metatronics to other platforms such as graphene, which is a single atomically thin layer of carbon atoms, with unusual conductivity functions. We study the graphene as a new paradigm for metatronic circuitry and also as a "flatland" platform for IR metamaterials and transformation optics, leading to the concepts of one-atom-thick metamaterials, and one-atom-thick circuit elements and optical devices. I will give an overview of our most recent results in these fields.

A new file descriptor is allocated with the function falloc() and freed with fdrelease(). falloc() and fdrelease() deal with allocating and free- ing slots in the file descriptor table, expanding the table when neces- sary and initializing the descriptor. It's possible to do those things in smaller steps, but it's not recommended to make complicated kernel APIs that require it. The files are extracted from the file descriptor table using the func- tions fd_getfile(), getvnode() and getsock(). fd_getfile() performs all necessary checks to see if the file descriptor number is within the range of file descriptor table, and if the descriptor is valid. getsock() and getvnode() are special cases that besides doing fd_getfile() also check if the descriptor is a vnode or socket, return the proper errno on error and increase the use count with FREF().
Since multiple processes can share the same file descriptor table, it's important that the file is not freed in one process while some other pro- cess is still accessing it. To solve that problem a special use count is kept with the functions FREF() and FRELE(). In most cases FREF() should be used on a file after it has been extracted from the file descriptor table and FRELE() should be called when the file won't be used anymore. There are cases when this isn't necessary, but since FREF() and FRELE() are cheap to use, there is no reason to risk introducing bugs by not us- ing them.
The majority of those functions are implemented in sys/kern/kern_descrip.c. The function prototypes and the macros are lo- cated in sys/sys/file.h and sys/sys/filedesc.h. MirOS BSD #10-current August 23, 2002 1

I'm sitting here in tears that won't stop this morning, grieving the loss of a friend I never met. Meet Louise… a long time Dine & Dish blog reader and commenter. I found out this morning through a Google search that Louise recently passed away in her home, at the sprite age of 90.
Louise first commented on Dine & Dish in early 2010. I knew she was nearing 90 and something about her reminded me a lot of my Grandma Sumner. Through the years, Louise and I took our comments to each other off the web and corresponded through email. She was always there for a laugh, a suggestion and comfort during times of sadness. She shared stories of growing up in New York, her love of food and cooking, and the joy her husband, daughter, son and daughter in law, and grandchildren brought her. She dreamed of returning to New York someday to have a frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity. In my silly fantasy like mind, I dreamed of someday sitting with her in NYC, drinking that frozen hot chocolate together, even chatting with my husband about ways we could make it happen.
Those of you who know me, most likely have heard me commenting about my favorite blog reader….that's Louise. I feel badly that it took me this long to search to find out why I hadn't heard from her in awhile… she passed away in September and I just now found out. I wish I would have sent her one last note to let her know how much her presence in my life meant to me. I knew her health wasn't the best, but just assumed that since she was such a spunky fighter, she'd be around for a long time more.
Anyway, I'm writing this today because I want to let each and every one of you know that your comments DO matter to me. I cherish each and every one of you and appreciate that you choose to spend time on my little home on the web. I am so thankful for technology and the opportunity to forge relationships with people I never would have met otherwise.
THIS is why I blog. This is what Dine & Dish is all about for me… it gives me the opportunity to connect with you, and for that I'm thankful. Thanks for being here.

Informatics: Overview, Principles and Opportunities
Steve Sawyer is associate professor
in the
informatics is the term that I and others use to represent the
trans-disciplinary study of the design, deployment and uses of
information and communication technologies (ICT) that account for
their interaction with institutional and cultural contexts,
including organizations and society. This research is done by
scholars in fields such as library and information science,
information technology, education, communications, organizational
studies, sociology, information systems and computer science. Those
pursuing social informatics engage a diverse set of topics and
employ a variety of approaches.
informatics has been characterized by many names including the social analysis of computing, human-centered computing, social
studies of information technology and
the sociology of computing. No matter the label, social
informatics provides insights on computing that alternative
approaches do not. For example, the rapid growth of socialware
networking applications such as Friendster and Linkedin cannot be
understood solely as computational artifacts, mediated communication
tools, useful and useable interfaces or as electronic exchange
markets. Rather, the variations in engaging and using these
socialware networking applications reflect a complex interaction of
technological and social factors, including social communication
norms, group communication expectations, perceived cost and value of
communication and the presence or absence of other communication
tools. This more complex, situated, multi-level, multi-effect and
socio-technical perspective is the added value of social
I articulate the principles that help to define social informatics,
highlight some of the common findings from this work and identify
two debates about engaging this form of research that serve as
opportunities for you to get involved. My premise is that social
informatics will become even more important as computerization
continues to engage our society. Computerization, to paraphrase
sociologist Beverly Burriss, is the implementation of computerized
technology and advanced information systems, in conjunction with
related socioeconomic changes, leading to a fundamental
restructuring of many social organizations and institutions.
is quintessentially socio-technical: it is complex, large scale and
situated in particular activities. For example, we can see
Googles intent to digitize holdings of five research libraries as
an example of computerization. By providing digital access to
materials previously (and only partially) available through the
physical movement of these items through a complex interlibrary loan
system changes both the patrons experiences (for example, ease of
access) and alters the ways in which these libraries will develop
and share their collections. Further, I would argue the Google
project is likely to have larger scale effects perhaps
increasing pressure on libraries with fewer resources to mimic these
efforts. In the five libraries that have agreed to work with Google,
social informaticians will see social and computing issues regarding
changes to access, possible changes in use (for both physical and
online patrons) and variations in (and varieties of) policy and
legal implications, systems design and systems deployment. Some
social informaticians will see Googles efforts in relation to
other digital library activities and information management themes.
Still others will focus on the roles of informational objects and
the uses of digital representations as a changing form of social
Principles of Social Informatics
Googles plan to digitize five research libraries holdings
helps illustrate several principles that together define social
informatics work. First, the various issues I raised above
underscore that social informatics is problem-oriented.
This work is defined by its interest in particular issues and
problems with computerization and not by its adherence to certain
theories or particular methods (as is operations research). The
range of issues raised illustrates that social informaticians see computing as a web-like arrangement of
material artifacts such as computers and software, and the rules,
norms and practices of people. These webs of computing are configurational in that their specific forms change over time and
are intimately shaped by the social milieu in which they exist.
of computing are, however, path dependent in that previous actions
and events guide, but do not predict, the forms and shape of future
actions and events. This characteristic is why social informaticians
frame Googles digitization plan in terms of changing social
norms, issues of copyright, access and fair use. Digitization is
more than just a media decision. From this perspective Googles
intentions raise important and unresolved issues of use, access,
design and policy. It is clear that the technical act of
digitization is possible (if laborious and based on many, as yet
unmade, micro-design decisions). At the crux of Googles ambitious
efforts, however, are the tricky issues that deal with the social
activities around these technical activities and ways in which what
is social and what is technical interact. If Googles digitization
project is seen primarily as a technical act, or if they mistake the
deeply and broadly socio-technical nature of this effort by seeing
it as some sort of high-quality interface design, they do little to
increase the likelihood of the efforts long-term success. And, we
know much about this topic: Ann Bishop and Nancy Van House have
already highlighted the social informatics perspective of digital
libraries. Google is a smartly run organization, so they are likely
familiar with this insightful work.
selecting five highly visible, and international, libraries,
Googles leaders made clear they understand that context matters. Context-dependency is a core principle of social informatics scholarship.
The situated nature and uses of computing mean that context and use
are bound up through practice: to report on use is to report on the
situations of that use. In
social informatics research, people are depicted as social
actors. That is, people are depicted as having individual
agency, acting in ways that reflect both informal social norms and
formal rules of action, and perhaps most importantly not primarily
users of ICTs. It is the social actor principle in play when social
informatics scholars focus on the notion that many users of newly
digitized library material are likely to follow some of our
currently recognized information-seeking behaviors in relatively
predictable ways even as others explore new (and possibly
controversial or innovative) behaviors.
informatics work is often critical, as Ive made clear through my
quick analyses of socialware and Googles digitization project. Social informatics scholars challenge taken-for-granted assumptions
about the material value of an ICT, peoples actions toward both
computing and the social worlds in which they live, and the nature
of the arrangements among these elements. While critical
perspectives are sometimes seen naively as being negative towards
computerization or a particular ICT, a critical approach is more
about exploring embedded and implicit assumptions. Social
informaticians eschew deterministic statements such as
digitization is good for all of us or being on the Web
means unproblematic access for all.
This critical orientation demands that social
informatics research be based on rigorous empirical work.
The strong empirical basis of social informatics work, however, is
combined with both methodological and theoretical plurality. Social
informatics work typically includes an array of data collection
approaches, sophisticated large-scale analyses and complex
conceptualizations. The rigor, empirical depth and the plurality of
theories and methods help to define social informatics work. This
also helps make clear that social informaticians often are
integrating theories and methods. In this explicit focus on
integrative scholarship, social informatics research provides
insights that other contemporary approaches to the study of
computerization do not.
The Common Findings of Social informatics
than 30 years of careful empirical research exists in the social
informatics tradition. As noted, this work is found in a range of
academic disciplines, reflects a mix of theories and methods, and
focuses on different issues and problems with computerization. Here
I highlight five observations that are so often (re)discovered that
they take on the notion of common findings relative to
of ICT lead to multiple and sometimes paradoxical effects.
Any one ICT effect is rarely isolatable to a desired task. Instead,
effects of using an ICT spread out to a much larger number of people
through the socio-technical links that comprise context. An
examination of this larger context often reveals multiple effects,
rather than one all-encompassing outcome, and unexpected as well as
planned events. For example, peer-to-peer file sharing may help some
musicians and hurt others.
number of scholars pursuing social informatics research continues to
grow because social informatics work provides insights that other
approaches to studying computerization do not. In closing, I present
two areas of debate currently engaging social informatics scholars.
These debates help to make clear some of the opportunities for you
to contribute both to our understanding of computerization and to
improving the approaches to doing this research.
first area of debate regards showcasing the value of social
informatics scholarship relative to older forms of research on
computerization. The added insights derived from the rigorous and
empirically grounded research that characterizes social informatics
is often best understood when presented in comparison with another
approach. An example of this is the research my colleagues and I
have done investigating the impact of computerization on the work of
residential real estate agents in the
second debate concerns the analytic demands of social informatics.
Combining the need for extensive data collection with the complex
conceptualizing of socio-technical phenomena means it is a difficult
methodological toolkit for many scholars. There are at least two
opportunities. First, there is a need for continued methodological
innovations regarding both the collection and synthesis of multiple
forms of data regarding computerization activities. Second, there is
a need to continue developing theories that help to explain
computerization. One example of this is Bill Duttons theorizing
that the access to and uses of computing (and particularly Internet
computing) are more complex than just greater availability. Changes
in ones access to computing help redefine ones relationship
with information and interaction. More work like this is needed.
To help you better understand, draw from or engage in social
informatics scholarship, I have highlighted its underlying
principles and outlined several more opportunities for engaging
social informatics. For contemporary library and information science
scholars, there are significant computerization issues in at least
four areas of active interest. For scholars of user behavior,
information management, organization of information and information
seeking in context, the ongoing changes in the ways in which people
characterize and pursue their information needs and wants; the
expanding choices of media, devices and search tools; the increased
expectations by (and of) people using search and search
technologies; and the issues with privacy, security and trust in
online environment suggest to me that the added insights provided by
a social informatics approach will be highly valued.
from Kristin Eschenfelder, Bin Li, Michael Tyworth, Rosalie Ocker
and Hala Annabi have helped me improve the manuscript. Long
discussions with Roberta Lamb and Howard Rosenbaum have helped me
clarify the points and principles. A special thanks to the late Rob
Kling who inspires me and many social informaticians.

Arsenal left-back Kieran Gibbs is annoyed at being snubbed by England this summer, but he admits his main focus is on ending Arsenal's current trophy drought.
The Englishman has had an injury-hampered career, but had his best spell in the side this year, making 29 appearances.
Gibbs will now battle it out with Spanish left-back Nacho Monreal for the first-team spot after he signed for Arsenal from Malaga in January.
Despite the impressive season for Gibbs, England manager Roy Hodgson did not pick him in his squad for the summer friendlies against Republic of Ireland or Brazil and instead chose Ashley Cole and Leighton Baines, who are both considerably older.
Arsenal's season was full of highs and lows, but the majority were low-points as they failed to win any trophy once again for an eighth year running.
The Gunners put in poor performances in the FA Cup and the Capital One Cup after being eliminated in both by lower league oppositions.
Their Champions League run ended on a high as they defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 in Germany, but they lost the tie on away legs.
However in the league, The Gunners enjoyed a 10-game unbeaten streak in the final couple of months that saw them jump from sixth to fourth and into the Champions League places.
Gibbs believes last season was his best on a personal note, but he is mainly focused on winning titles with the club now.
Speaking to Arsenal's official magazine, Gibbs said: "It has been my best season so far. It is a stepping stone for me and now I just need to build and stay fit. I am sure I can do more for the [Arsenal] team.
"I was hopeful of getting into the England squad [this summer], but I was not called up.
"I will just relax now and make sure I prepare myself physically for next season, ensuring that I go into it with a clear head.
"I am really looking forward to it and hopefully we can all make it a special one.
"The dramatic finale to the season made us even stronger, and we will be going into the new one head on.
"We are aware that we need to produce next season and have to make sure we are confident about dealing with that expectation."

An all star research team is developing a putty-like material to help regenerate shattered bones, a technology that could allow soldiers to avoid amputation and quickly regain full use of badly broken legs.
'Fracture putty' is a biocompatible compound designed to be packed in and around non-union fractures. It provides a load-bearing, osteoconductive, bone-like structure to give regenerative growth a chance. Then, once the bone heals, the putty degrades into harmless, absorbable by-products.
"The fracture putty will serve as a bioactive scaffold and will be able to substitute for the damaged bone," said principal researcher Mauro Ferrari. "At the same time, the putty will facilitate the formation of natural bone and self-healing in the surrounding soft tissue through the attraction of the patient's own stem cells. The putty will have the texture of modeling clay so that it can be molded in any shape in order to be used in many different surgical applications, including the reconnection of separated bones and the replacement of missing bones."
Traumatic, compound bone fractures are very difficult to treat on the battlefield, often requiring multiple surgeries with bone screws, plates, and rods to cobble together grafts with healthy bone. They also take a long time to heal. Bone putty could have the patient up and around in as little as a week, according to the researchers.
The program, which has been called "the ultimate convergence of materials science, mechanics, and orthopedics," will first be tested on animals, but could eventually lead to the use of 'bone putty' in emergency rooms to treat civilians injured in traffic accidents and other traumatic events, researchers hope.
The two-year research project is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and includes the University of Texas Health Science Center and M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Harvard University, the Institute for BioNanotechnology in Medicine at Northwestern University among others.
