No matter its size, your company's data is its most valuable asset. Think about it: what would you do without your financial or customer records? How long could your business survive without access to the information you rely on every day?
You probably have insurance that will protect your physical assets from disasters such as power surges, fires, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. But what is protecting your data? Anything that can damage your office can destroy your computers and the information that they store. Most people store their backup Hard Drives, disks, and tapes in the same building. In case of a natural disaster, all of that data would also be gone.

Hello world!Â
Welcome to The Toy Press, a blog by Store for Knowledge. This will be my very first post, so please pardon the dust as we build our blog and small business. My name is Paul, and I'm the founder of Store for Knowledge, a family owned business that was started in 2001 as I was attending Tarleton State University in Stephenville, TX. I will be posting to this blog as much as I can with insights about fun and interesting products that may interest our customers. Guest reviewers with knowledge of various educational toys will also be invited to contribute to the blog. I am hoping to gain interaction and insight from you our viewers because it truly matters what you think is cool, not just what we think is neat or what will sell. Our company strives to provide educational products that will spark interest in a wide array of subjects. From dinosaur toys to doll houses, we hope to cover it all – and provide you with some of the 'behind the scenes' aspects that make our company a great place to work.
What we hope to achieve with our blog:
I want this blog to have more of a personal feel along with views from our customers and not have to hold back on what I or our customers actually think about a line of products. So, I will leave it raw and uncut. This blog is for our customers – not manufacturers trying to make a buck. I encourage viewers to comment anytime. I love to hear from you. With our blog I hope to give an insight to our company and what we are about. I want to bring customers that are interested into our world to see what new products are coming out and which ones we plan on carrying. I hope to show the good and bad of certain products to help inform our customers so that they can make a more informed decision.  Hopefully this blog will bring interaction from customers to help us understand not what just we think is cool but what our customers think is cool. I will try to implement as much information about products as possible including videos, pictures, what my little niece's think, etc.
The small business side:
I studied Finance, Economics and Management in college so I have a deep interest in small business, but I'm also such a kid at heart (thus my career choice in the toy business). So, some of my blog post may talk about some of our small business decisions which might spark interest with some of you.  I hope you will follow us and watch as we fight to grow our small company in this tough economy. I started this business when I was a sophomore in college so I've been through a lot trying to make it thrive through a lot of ups and downs over the years. I learned a lot of things the hard way. Starting a business is not easy. Staying in business is not easy.Â
The fun side:
The best part of working in the toy business is – you guessed it – being able to test out the toys that will eventually sell on our website. Friends and family are always more than willing to help out with that part. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

Nendoroid Konnosuke Face Parts Case
Posted by hobbykid at 10:51 PM
Labels: Nendoroid, Special Collection
Kikunori Shinohara, a professor in
the Neuroscience department of Suwa Tokyo Science University, announced
that building Gundam models or Gunpla was healthy for the human brain.
The act of putting the model together promotes blood circulation in the brain,
said Shinohara-san, which lets it " concentrate better, react better and remember better."
Shinohara encouraged people of all ages to build models to promote brain health.

There is a potential difficulty when you try to overlap MPI_Isend with some computations : generally you do it on a cluster of SMP machines and the performance of the overlapping should depend a lot on the placement of the processes on the SMP nodes. On one hand if some of the pair processes that do the MPI_Isend / Irecv are on the same node, you won't be able to overlap communications with computations, but of course the communications should be faster for large messages using shared memory than using the NIC. On the other hand if the pair processesses are on different nodes, for large messages the communication time using the NIC is larger than the time for doing the same communication using shared memory, but of course if your NIC (like the quadrics one for example) is able to do some overlap you will save some time. Quadrics (again, but may be it's true for other network technologies) provide a way to use the NIC even for the intra-node communication ; but as a consequence you will share the NIC for intra and inter nodes communications together and the potential benefit is not so clear. So don't expect too much by overlapping communication with computation : it's very hard to tune, it depends a lot on the placement of your program on the SMP nodes, the NIC functionnalities, and the scheme you use for the communications ! If you have enough time, you could have a look to another approach by using a mixed OpenMP/MPI programming scheme. Regards, Phil.

Constantia, the server running https://www.flypig.org.uk will be going down for a couple of days (possibly longer) due to both physical and virtual relocation.

I think I would still invoke kernel miscompilation, since if the kernel isn't aware of the memory/core/socket topology, it probably makes quite poor affinity-oblivious allocations. this is the machine where numactl doesn't do anything sensible, right?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) has officially announced the teams and pairings for the 2012 NAIA Football Championship Series (FCS). Sixteen teams will play at eight FCS First Round sites on Nov. 17. Defending national champion Saint Xavier (Ill.) returns to the field and will host William Penn (Iowa) in Chicago, Ill. The quarterfinal pairings, to be played on Nov. 24, will be announced on the morning of Nov. 18.
Georgetown (Ky.) is the most decorated amongst the qualifiers with 24 victories in 18 appearances, including three national championships. The Tigers, who rank No. 1 in the final regular-season NAIA Football Coaches' Top 25 Poll, earned their most recent national title in 2001 with a 49-27 victory against former NAIA member Sioux Falls (S.D.). Georgetown kicks off FCS action against a familiar foe in Bethel (Tenn.). The Tigers are 6-0 all-time in regular season meetings against the Wildcats, including a 63-21 win on Sept. 29.
In addition to Georgetown, Baker (Kan.), MidAmerica Nazarene (Kan.), Missouri Valley, Northwestern (Iowa), Saint Francis (Ind.) and St. Ambrose (Iowa) have made at least 10 appearances in the FCS.
William Penn, who received the final at-large position, is making its first appearance since 1975, snapping a streak of 37-straight seasons without participating in the postseason. The Statesmen are also searching for their first-ever FCS victory.
All eight FCS First Round games will mark the first postseason meeting between the two teams.
For the fifth-consecutive season, the Rome-Floyd County Convention and Visitors Bureau will host the 57th annual Russell Athletic-NAIA Football National Championship on Dec. 13 at Barron Stadium in Rome, Ga. The event will be televised live on CBS Sports Television with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m. EST.
2012 Football Championship Series Quick Facts
• Georgetown (Ky.) has the most experience in the Football Championship Series (FCS) with 18 appearances (three-straight), including a field-best three national championships. The Tigers last title came in 2001 when they defeated former NAIA member Sioux Falls (S.D.), 49-27. Georgetown also boasts the most FCS wins amongst the qualifiers with 24.
• Seven teams have made at least 10 FCS appearances (including this year): Georgetown (18), Missouri Valley (10), Saint Francis (Ind.) (13), St. Ambrose (Iowa) (12), MidAmerica Nazarene (Kan.) (10), Baker (Kan.) (12) and Northwestern (Iowa) (16).
• There are nine repeat programs from the 2011 FCS First Round.
• Saint Francis boasts a 2012 FCS qualifier-best 10-game First Round win streak. The Cougars last first round loss came in 2001 against Campbellsville (Ky.), 42-21.
• Defending national champion Saint Xavier (Ill.) and Northwestern (Iowa) are the only other teams with a title game victory. The Cougars look to become the first back-to-back champion since Sioux Falls accomplished the feat in 2008 and 2009. Northwestern claimed a pair of NAIA Division II crowns in 1973 and 1983.
• Six-time NAIA national champion and FCS regular Carroll (Mont.) fails to make the field of 16 for the first time since the 1999 season. The Fighting Saints had appeared in eight of the last 10 title games. Dickinson State (N.D.), who has 15 playoff appearances, is the squad with the second-most appearances to miss the cut this season.
• St. Ambrose's 12 appearances are the most amongst the field for a team that has never appeared in the title game. The Fighting Bees have never advanced past the quarterfinals.
• There are no playoff newcomers in the field this year. William Penn (Iowa) has the fewest appearances amongst the group with one prior to this season. The Statesmen are also the only squad searching for their first victory in the FCS.
• William Penn (Iowa) is making its first trip to the FCS First Round for the first time since 1975 - the longest drought amongst the qualifiers.
• Georgetown, Saint Xavier, Saint Francis, Baker and Northwestern are this year's qualifiers with at least 10 wins all-time in the FCS.
• The Mid-States Football Association Mideast Division (MSFAE) and the Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC) land the most squads in the 16-team field. The MSFAE is represented by Saint Xavier, Marian and Saint Francis. Competing out of the HAAC is Missouri Valley, MidAmerica Nazarene (Kan.) and Baker (Kan.).
• Three unbeaten teams enter the FCS - Georgetown (10-0), Missouri Valley (10-0) and Morningside (Iowa) (10-0).

An editorial in the Aug. 21 Tomahawk Leader:
It's hard to picture Tomahawk without Buck Nelson.
He's been a modern-day "founding father figure" for this city since long before we arrived here as newspaper publishers 25 years ago. His business intuition and innovation, along with a compassionate heart have helped form and direct this community.
Many a head was left shaking when Buck bought property north of the river and then built a business there. But Buck knew what he was doing. His Nelson's County Market subsequently underwent numerous expansions and thrives today.
Buck believed in his community and tirelessly served in a leadership capacity, including 32 years, from 1964-96, on the Common Council; 16 of those years as council president. Just look at his obituary to get some feeling for his other involvement and tenure in organizations, and the awards that followed.
He also was a compassionate man who helped behind the scenes. He didn't seek the limelight, but had a vision and determination that led people forward.
We remember him quietly sitting in the crowd at a recent Tomahawk Together community round table, hoping to help make a difference in the lives of our young people. His interest in this city and its future never waned.
Our respect for his vision and actions is not alone. What follows are just some of the thoughts from others:
•Bob Lee: Current Tomahawk mayor and a then-freshman member of the Common Council who served with Buck in the early 1980s – "He was the quietest, kindest person I ever met." Buck mentored Bob when he was first on the council. "He always was the quiet gentleman." Civic-wise he was extremely supportive of all council actions, Lee said. "You listened to how he voted and what he said. He was a quiet leader. … You just had to respect his opinion."
•Herb Sosinsky: Retired school administrator and former member of the council while Buck was president – "He was a very reasonable and patient leader." Herb felt they accomplished a lot at that time, and Buck was always open to ideas. Buck did not hesitate to take new ideas into consideration and leave them on the table, Sosinsky said.
•Don Daenicke: Served 10 years on the council while Buck was president – "He was a very good man … an outstanding man in my book." He never said a cross word. Daenicke noted they redid Main Street with new lighting and sidewalks during their time working together.
•Rod Greil: Served on City Council with him – Buck was a great guy, who was always willing to give to any group. Rod noticed Buck never missed a funeral – "but he knew everyone in town," he said. "He was a good-hearted person."
•Annette Daigle Stewart: She served six years on the council with him – She described him as "a great guy." He was "a real angel" to many. Annette recalls how when she and her first husband, Al, had apartments above their business, Buck would help house and feed women who came from abusive homes, getting them groceries and appliances, "everything they needed" to make it on their own. When Al died, Buck arrived with plates of food long before the funeral.
While on the council he had an excellent memory about the inner workings of the city," Annette said. Anything you wondered about, you'd go to Buck, she noted. "He was a very good listener." He knew how he planned to vote. He studied his council packet.
At church he "gave out communion until the end when he could hardly walk. I think it meant so much for him to give to the people," Annette observed.
•Paul Garner: Current city clerk-treasurer – Buck was council president when Garner was named clerk. He always could see both sides of every discussion, Garner says. He was an excellent history source for that perspective of the Tomahawk community. "He was very concerned about the community – all the community." When plans to add the ice arena surfaced at SARA Park, Buck was the first donor and his contribution was significant, Garner noted.
•Fran Seroogy: Friend, long-time city attorney – "He always thought about the city first." He was very diligent in his work for the city. He had a calming influence. "Just a great businessman who made personal contacts with his customers. He took real pride in the business." Fran describes Buck as "an efficient, calm man – a friendly competitor."
•John Kromm: Tomahawk Ben Franklin, knew him through business and council interactions – Describes Buck as an innovator who liked to be ahead of his time. "His donations were so instrumental at SARA Park. He never wanted accolades. He just did it because it was the right thing to do. He did so much giving back to the community and he never asked for special recognition but readily deserved it. I'll remember him for that. He did the most he could to make Tomahawk a special place."
•Kay Salewske: She and husband, Dan, knew him on all levels, from family, friends, serving on city council to business-wise. Dan and Buck's son, Bob Nelson, were in the same graduating class and Dan's sister married Buck's wife's brother – " He touched probably everyone in this town; every life in this town," Kay said. "Buck was resolute in what he was doing. His presence was not intrusive … from his flannel shirts … He was a real person – a real person. He didn't put on airs. He truly thought about everyone. … from buying some kid's cow, chicken or pig at the (county) fair to the attendance of a Nelson at every funeral. He was a real presence in this town.
"He was a very charitable person," seen, Kay says, in how he asked that instead of getting flowers for his funeral, people give donations to charitable causes.
"He was outspoken, with a long-range look at things. He thought long-term – always, whether it was personal, family or community. He had views and ideas. He affected so many lives in little ways and big ways.
"He was one of those rare ones," she stated.
A message at the funeral from Buck's wife, Therese, said, "He truly was one of a kind. He touched the lives of so many people. He will always have a special place in our hearts."
Yes, there is a hole in Tomahawk and in many hearts these days.
Buck Nelson is gone.

Sorry to hear that Mr. Nelson passed - met him many many moons ago when I was a youngster living in Tomahawk.

My impression has been that so far, there hasn't been a huge market discovered for supercomputing appliances. Which is a shame, but there you have it. It has been tried. And if anyone does make it work, I'm sure everyone else will be all over it. Cray also has a well-known inability to sell low-priced systems, including the Y-MP/EL and XD1.

Weekend Warriors
This story appears in the July 1998 issue of . Subscribe »
Saturday and Sunday used to be for rest and relaxation, but for a growing number of entrepreneurs, weekends don't mean downtime. How can you run a weekend business without running yourself ragged?
Jane Deterding and Michael Lamb should know: Every Saturday, they hit their basement office to produce "From The MoneyRoom," a nationally syndicated three-hour radio talk show coaching small and homebased businesses. If you're considering a weekend business, take these tips from the Wichita, Kansas, entrepreneurs:
- Evaluate your time commitments. Do your kids have soccer practice every Saturday? Is the weekend the only time you can run errands? Make sure you can accommodate all your commitments before you add another one.
- Be good to yourself. "On Saturday mornings, we allow ourselves an extra hour of sleep, then get up and prep for the show," says Lamb. "After the show, we give ourselves a treat--usually a movie or sporting event, but always something that feels like a reward for a job well done."
- Get the support of your significant other, spouse or children. Talk honestly about what to expect before you begin.
- Expect everyone involved to feel some resentment, especially if your business takes up the entire weekend. Focus on the positive. Think and talk about why you're making this sacrifice: the hope that your weekend business will ultimately lead to a more fulfilling life as a full-time entrepreneur.

A Whole New World
It's easy to see how some businesses can benefit from using e-mail or establishing a Web presence. But how do you know whether going online makes sense? According to some who've done it, it's worth a try.
Jon Wagner's company, Miniatures and More, sells animal-themed gift items such as key chains, pins and figurines. In February 1997, he received a phone call from an ISP inviting him to visit its site. "I checked it out and discovered I could create and operate a site for $100 per year," he says.
The Riverview, Florida, entrepreneur launched his site, AnimalGifts, that same month; since then, his mail order sales have increased by one-third. The success inspired him to create a second business, Pad-Mak-R, which sells notepad-making kits on the Internet. Kits consist of a "press," special glue and backing; users can print pages from the site and make them into personalized pads.
In March, Wagner closed Miniatures and More's retail store and moved the business solely onto the Web (and into his home). "I never thought I'd be shipping to Scotland and Germany," says Wagner, "but through my Web site, I get customers worldwide."

Thoughts: Meet Yucca!
My husband introduced me to Yucca and now I love it! To think I never knew it existed before this year - I am sure there are many more wonderful foods out there to discover!
- Potato lovers would love Yucca I imagine as it has a similar consistency - that creamy white cakey crumble mmm! - and has less carbohydrates then a potato - so it is not as heavy.
- Yucca goes great with beans and rice.
- Yucca is a plant part of the perennial shrubs (a plant that lives for longer than 2 years) and trees in the agave family. They are native to the hot and dry earth so you will find them in arid areas like North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
- You can eat many parts of the Yucca tree - including fruits, seeds, flowers, flowering stems,and more rarely roots. It is the roots I love!
- Yucca is a white, starchy tropical vegetable that was originally grown by the indigenous peoples who resided in the countries now known as Columbia, Venezuela, and Brazil. These people used yucca as a dietary staple, typically milling the yucca into flour or making a paste from it.
- Because yucca is a versatile vegetable, its usage has spread to many non-Latin populations. For example, 10.5 million lbs. of yucca were sold last year in the United States alone. Additionally, every day more people are becoming aware of its use in cooking. This is because it can easily be substituted for potatoes in soups and stews and it contains a high amount of vitamin C and carbohydrates.
- Yucca is also a good source of dietary fiber and contains approximately 120 calories per 3.5-ounce serving.
- Another use for yucca that is becoming increasingly popular is the production of yucca chips by many food companies. Similar in appearance and taste to potato chips, except a little sweeter, yucca chips are entering the market as a healthy alternative to other snack foods.
- When cooking with yucca, many different variations exist for its preparation. Some of the most popular and tasty uses for it include the following:
- Boiling the yucca then covering it with onions and garlic that have been sautéed in olive oil
- Frying the yucca in olive oil until golden, removing it to cool then lightly shaking minced garlic on it.
- Adding it along with potatoes and other vegetables into beef-based vegetable soups

When most Chestnut Hillers visit the Top of the Hill Farm Market, they expect to see Andy Peszka. For the past three decades, Peszka has been a fixture at the market with his friendly demeanor, extensive product knowledge and great fishing stories.
Over the years, many assumed that Peszka was the owner of the market since he was always there, interacting with customers. It wasn't until last Monday, however, that he officially gained this title.
Peszka purchased the market from founder and owner Bill Markloff, whose family has owned the market since 1971. Markloff will remain owner of Top of the Hill Café, and Peszka will continue to provide produce and other fresh products from the market.
"We are under old management," Peszka said. "Nothing is going to change. You will still get our great quality and excellent customer service. We will continue to give Chestnut Hillers the freshest and the absolute best fruits and vegetables."
There will be no staff changes, and Peszka, as he has for the last few years, will be working alongside his brother Chris, who manages the prime meat market. The two brothers both began working when it was a seasonal market with farm stands located throughout Chestnut Hill.
Andy was just 13 when he sold fresh corn, tomatoes and peaches at the farm stand in the parking lot on Bethlehem Pike. He worked for Markloff every summer during high school and college. When Markloff opened the Top of the Hill Market at its present location in 1994, Andy was there.
Over the next 20 years Peszka worked his way up to manager of the market. During this time, Peszka's workday began in the early hours of the morning when he would pick up fresh produce at farms in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The same farms have been providing fruits, vegetables and flowers to the Top of the Hill for years, and Peszka likes them because they use what he calls "old fashioned farming" techniques with old-fashioned seeds and no chemically engineered methods.
In 2007, Peszka, an avid fisherman and a Master Officer in the Coast Guard, worked with Markloff to open a seafood market. Local day boats provide the wide selection of fish available at the seafood market
"Like all our products, we get the freshest we can," Andy said.
The prime meat market was added in 2010, and offers high quality, all natural (no hormones, no antibiotics, no preservatives) meats that are fresh daily. Chris, who oversees this market, has worked in various restaurants and catering business in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He received training in Cajun and Creole Cooking at the New Orleans School of Cooking in Louisiana and in French Pro at The Cooking School at La Campagne.
"We utilize the freshest ingredients to make creative dishes," Chris said as he described his seafood chowder, flounder with stuffed crabmeat and butterfly pork loin stuffed with spinach, sausage, and Parmesan cheese. With butcher services on the premises, all meats can be cut to order, and specialty items, such as duck or goose, can be ordered upon request.
The holiday season begins at the market, as it always does on Black Friday, with a shipment of freshly cut Christmas trees. Andy and his team will be there day and night to provide Hillers with fresh Pennsylvania trees, wreaths, roping and swags.
As always, Chris and Andy are ready to take your holiday orders, including "Seven Fishes," filets, shrimp cocktail, lobster tail and more!
The brothers look forward to many more years of serving the people of Chestnut Hill at the Top of the Hill Farm Market.
"We love the people here – they are great," Andy said. "When customers leave our market, they will have received great quality at competitive pricing with exceptional service. That's how it's always been and that's how it always will be."
The Top of the Hill Farm Market is located at 186 East Evergreen Ave. and is open seven days a week. For more information, contact 215-248-4170.

Fiat SpA will put new investments on hold until it gets a clearer idea of the impact of a court ruling that a portion of Italy's labor rules are unconstitutional, its chief executive, Sergio Marchionne, said on Tuesday.
Italy's constitutional court ruled last week that a clause in the country's labor law from the 1970s allowing automaker Fiat to bar the Fiom metalworkers' union from representing workers on its factory floor violated the constitution.
Continue Reading Below
Fiat is Italy's largest employer, and its billions of euros in new investments are crucial to bolstering the country's economy, which has been in recession for two years and suffers from record unemployment.
Struggling Italian companies received another setback on Tuesday when Standard & Poor's cut the country's sovereign credit rating to BBB from BBB-minus, a move likely to drive up borrowing costs.
Since 2010, Fiat has rolled out investments at some of its Italian factories in exchange for concessions from labor unions for more flexible work conditions.
Fiom did not support the new contract, and it started legal proceedings against Fiat that led to last week's court ruling.
Marchionne said the ruling throws its labor contracts in doubt, since they are based on rules that the court has found, in part, unconstitutional.
"Before taking any further initiatives in Italy, we need a clear legal and normative framework," he said, in a speech announcing over 700 million euros in planned investment.
Marchionne said he was open to meeting with Fiom leader Maurizio Landini to discuss what measures could be taken, based on a common understanding that Fiat's 2011 labor contract would not be revised.
Speaking later on Tuesday in Turin, Marchionne asked the government to propose a solution for the uncertainty created by the court ruling. Marchionne expects to have a better idea of the consequences of the ruling when the court releases the reasons for its decision.
"I am not willing to invest more risk capital in this country if we don't know on what basis we can carry out our labor relations," he said. "It's the government's responsibility to ask the court for clarity."
In the meantime, Marchionne threatened to build planned new Alfa Romeo models outside of Italy.
"We are going ahead with the re-launch of Alfa Romeo, it's up to Italy to decide whether the cars will be built here or elsewhere," he said.
($1 = 0.7773 euros)

Welcome To Consortium of Indian Farmers Association
A farmer(also called an agriculturer) is a person engaged in agriculture, raising living organisms for food or raw materials. The term usually applies to people who do some combination of raising field crops, orchards, vineyards, poultry, or other livestock. A farmer might own the farmed land or might work as a laborer on land owned by others, but in advanced economies, a farmer is usually a farm owner, while employees of the farm are known as farm workers, or farmhands. However, in the not so distant past, a farmer was a person who promotes or improves the growth of (a plant, crop, etc.) by labor and attention, land or crops or raises animals.

Welcome to Mars!
Not Mars as it is - airless, most likely lifeless, with only the faintest hints of what might have once been a damp, if not necessarily lush and living, world billions of years in the past. No, this is Mars as it should be and as it was once imagined to be - an ancient, dying, but not yet dead world, a world where a vast canal network reaches from pole to pole, bringing water and life to vast and fantastic cities. A Mars where albino apes run a vast empire in the last surviving jungle, a world where warrior tribes of Green Martians raid the outlying cities of the canal dwellers, a world where, in places dark and quiet and forgotten beneath the surface, ancient and terrible intellects plan dark and dire deeds.
It is a Mars of sky-corsairs, of duels with blade and blaster, of vile plots, fantastic inventions, daring rescues, arena battles, and spectacular stunts. It is a Mars where ancient cities can be discovered and their lost treasures plundered, a Mars where a trek across the dry sea bottoms can yield amazing discoveries, where terrible monsters roam the rocky wastes.
It is the Mars of pulp fiction and Saturday morning serials.
It is now yours.
Adamant Entertainment's long-awaited Roleplaying Game of Planetary Romance features everything you need to get started telling tales of adventure beneath the moons of Mars. From character creation to combat, from strange science to even stranger beasts, MARS has it all. No other rulebooks required -- although guidelines are provided on using other versions of the world's most popular role-playing rules as well, allowing you to use Mars as a setting for your fantasy campaigns, or to transport your Modern characters to the Red Planet!

RICHMOND — After weeks of speculation over how they would fill the vacant seat on a sharply divided City Council, Richmond's elected leaders chose to forgo a special election and appoint a 27-year-old legislative aid who finished a distant eighth in November's race.
Jael Myrick, a field representative for Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, was appointed after nearly five hours of comment Tuesday to take the seat won by Gary Bell, who fell ill around the time of his November election.
Councilman Jim Rogers' decision to back Myrick helped tipped the vote in his favor.
"(Myrick) approaches things with a lot of concern similar to mine," Rogers said. "I feel very connected with him."
Myrick was embraced by well-wishers after the decision.
"It's a little surreal at this moment. I don't know what to say," Myrick said.
Myrick finished behind several other appointment candidates in November's council race, including fourth-place Eduardo Martinez, a member of the Richmond Progressive Alliance who was a few hundred votes behind Bell.
The vote to appoint Myrick was 4-1-1, with Councilman Corky Boozé voting no and Councilman Nat Bates abstaining.
The vote came moments after Martinez failed to get the required four votes, with Boozé and Bates voting no and Rogers abstaining.
The appointment means the city avoids a June special election, which city staff said would cost more than $200,000.
Myrick will have the seat at least until November 2014, when he will be up for election.
The decision was the culmination of a raucous meeting during which a dozen council hopefuls made their case, and more than 40 public speakers also weighed in. The proceedings were stopped several times because of noise.
Myrick cast himself as a potential alternative who could appeal to both sides of the polarized council.
He repeatedly referred to himself as a "progressive" voice and highlighted his work with Skinner's office on behalf of the formerly incarcerated and people with criminal records. Rogers cast the decision as one that could be palatable to all sides.
"Hopefully, this will help usher in a new era of cooperation," Rogers wrote in an email Tuesday. "And, when Eduardo's supporters look back at Jael several years from now, I think they will be pleased with what they see."
Butt, who had pushed for Martinez, said Myrick could be a healing force in a divided city government.
"The council majority was looking for a statesman, not a politician," Butt said.
Most of the 40-plus public speakers advocated for Martinez, Kathleen Sullivan or a special election.
Sullivan, 57, had the support of the coalition of local African-American groups that supported Bell.
City Clerk Diane Holmes read a statement from Bell's wife, Shelley, urging a special election. "(An election is) my and I believe Gary's wishes," she wrote.
Bell fell into a coma after suffering a severe nasal infection and undergoing two neurosurgeries, according to his family. Bell's victory came with the help of more than $1 million from Chevron, which supported him and opposed the RPA candidates. Rogers said he respected Martinez and his supporters but there was "something special" about Myrick.
Boozé said he supported Sullivan but knew he could not get four votes to appoint her. "I wanna give it back to the public and let the public vote," he said.
RPA member Andres Soto said he and his allies had appealed to Rogers and told the councilman during public comment that he should vote for Martinez. "You can be the hero or you can be the goat, and the people will remember in 2014," Soto said.
Councilwoman Jovanka Beckles and Mayor Gayle McLaughlin said Martinez was the best choice because he narrowly lost the seat to Bell.
But both gave their support to Myrick after the failed vote for Martinez. Some observers were outraged that the RPA-backed council members didn't stand firm for Martinez.
"Last night, the RPA threw Eduardo Martinez under the bus," wrote Charles Smith, a local activist, in a Wednesday morning email to RPA members.

Groundwater verdict against Exxon is upheld
NEW YORK (AP) — A federal appeals court has upheld a $105 million verdict against Exxon Mobil for contaminating New York City's groundwater.
The city sued Exxon Mobil for the costs of removing a gasoline additive known as MTBE from drinking wells in Queens.
The city argued that the company ignored warnings from its own scientists and engineers not to use the additive in areas that use groundwater for drinking.
A federal jury in Manhattan ruled in favor of the city in 2009. The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that verdict Friday.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the verdict should be a warning to any company whose actions threaten New Yorkers' health and quality of life.
A spokesman says Texas-based Exxon Mobil will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Self-Portrait 06.29.11
Winter 2012
One of the reasons I got myself a camera was to document the physical and emotional changes I have been going through with HIV and lipoatrophy. I found myself staring in the mirror and getting upset often. I was becoming increasingly depressed because of these irreversible changes. I decided to document the transformations, make art out of the experience and try to look at it from a different perspective.
I've done a few photo sessions with myself over the past few months. This photograph is from one of them. I am very happy with it because I think it portrays many different emotions.
I've been pretty shy about going out in public, which is something I'm trying to wade my way through and deal with. At one point I had the idea of wearing a burka-like scarf over my head. This particular photo session was to see how that would look. After taking several shots with my head almost completely covered and just my eyes showing, I found that the images looked scarier than what I looked like. I was glad that I had the camera to help me see that.
I shot this photo on the deck of my apartment. It was a cold day so the scarf worked well. The wind had picked up and I found that if I tilted my head to the side, the wind wasn't hitting me in the ear. I kept ducking the wind and tilting my head and I just kept shooting.
The photograph sums up a few things: my quiet low energy, the dramatic weight loss and the fact that I've kind of been hiding. It is the perfect self-portrait for that moment in time.
I've posted the self-portraits on my Facebook gallery, my outlet for showing my new photography. They're for everyone to see. I think there's an educational aspect to them. I'm also just trying to take really good photographs.

There are many different factors that motivate employees and individuals. These include monetary, power, achievement, opportunity for advancement, the ability to contribute, etc. Another major factor: RECOGNITION.
Everyone likes to be recognized for their efforts in making a company successful. Employees who feel good about their abilities and their contributions to a company or team are more likely to be happy, content and motivated. When they're recognized for their efforts, they'll also continue in their desire to excel. Awards are a cost-effective way for employers to increase employee morale and help the company attract top talent and generate brand awareness. Some of the most common corporate award categories are:
- Sales Excellence
- Best Customer Service
- Best Product
- Best Executive
Corporate awards are great for morale, and presentations generate news and public content that can help build a company's brand awareness.
If you have people or projects that deserve an award, recognize them! You might be surprised by how happy and proud they'll be to work for a company that cares!

"What we are talking about today at this field day is what was in military jets 10 years ago," said Sheely. "I cannot wait for the next 10 years."
Sheely is an unabashed supporter of precision farming technology and he is attracting followers. Some of the largest and most progressive farmers in the Central San Joaquin Valley were at Sheely's place to see and hear about the latest in precision farming.
The numbers generated from the multitude of commercial trials on Sheely's farm leave little doubt precision ag technology is a good investment for reducing costs and increasing yields. Why then are there seemingly few besides Sheely riding the space age farm rocket?
"It's the intimidation factor," said Sheely. Most growers who talk to him about his experiences with precision farming are uncomfortable with computer-age farming.
"A lot of guys tell me they have a hard time figuring out how to get their e-mail and computer-driven tractors scare them," said Sheely.
"I am not a computer wizard by any means. I do OK on a computer. I can download aerial maps — if someone shows me how," said Sheely. "I tell guys who ask me about precision ag that there are consultants and companies who do the work, they do the mapping, they do the interpretation to help you make the decisions. And, there are custom applicators to do the variable rate applications."
Equipment concern
The second question is equipment reliability. Computers can be cantankerous in an air conditioned office. Putting one in a dusty, bouncing tractor cab doesn't seem wise. However, Sheely says reliability has been good.
"I throw more belts and have flat tires more often than I have computers or tractor guidance systems go down," he said.
"Support has been excellent with the products I have bought," he said. "All of the companies have technical support people who speak Spanish and can tell my guys what they need to do to get back running. It is usually simply a matter of going to a diagnostic screen and doing what the technical people say to do."
Most of Sheely's employees have cell phones and can call directly from a tractor to get help. The days when drivers flashed lights from tractors in the field to signal there is a problem are over. "Nearly every one of my guys has a cell phone, and they just call if they need something," said Sheely.
Precision ag technology can also be intimidating to workers, who believe computers will replace their time-honed skills.
"It took about a year for my guys to accept this new technology. Now they know what it can do and don't want to go back to the old way we did things," said Sheely. Workers have discovered that this new technology makes them more efficient and tasks less tiring.
Profit sharing
Sheely has a profit sharing plan for his employees and when a guidance system or computer goes down "they are on the phone right away to me or someone else to get it fixed. They know that a lot of this stuff we now use makes us more efficient."
The cost savings and yield increases coming out of the Ag 20/20 project at Sheely's farm are impressive. Savings of up to 50 percent on costs and double digit yield increases are difficult for some farmers to accept.
"A lot of guys ask me if I am certain about the numbers we are getting from this work. I tell them that these are numbers confirmed by independent, third party scientists. These are not salesmen's numbers," said Sheely.
However, Sheely hastens to add that while the successes have been impressive, their have been failures.
"You don't see the charts about what did not work, and we have made some bad decisions in this project. We expected that from the beginning," said Sheely.
"I told everyone going in that if I spend $1, I expect to get at least $1.50 back or it is not worth continuing. I am not interested in spending $1 and getting 80 cents back,' said Sheely.
Sheely's advice to his peers is to start with mapping for salinity and applying variable gypsum rates. "I know that will pay for just about anybody," he added.
The work at Sheely's farm has focused primarily on cotton since financial support for the project has come from the National Cotton Council and Cotton Incorporated.
"We are starting to look at some of this on processing tomatoes and garlic. We are going to start mapping the pistachio trees. It has uses in weed control — any place where site specific farming makes sense," he said.
The cost of farming will force farmers to look at 60 by 60 foot grids for variability rather than 160 acres, half sections or sections.
"Precision ag technology does not make farming any easier. It simply gives us more tools with which to make decisions," said Sheely.

Tonight, Orton and Rhodes use a blow-off match to build towards a future blow-off, Mark Henry seems to be getting grumpier, and is Big Show stealing John Cena's "Vanilla Ice" gimmick in an attempt to reach new heights of superstardom?
Match #1 – Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes -- Street Fight
Smackdown starts with a PPV-worthy match, which is half a compliment for the performance, and half a question of why it's on TV. Neither wrestler shows up in traditional street fight attire, and it stays in the ring long enough to cause wonder if there's been a mix-up in booking.
Eventually, the fight goes outside the ring, where both wrestlers take turns being launched into the steps, then Orton clotheslines Rhodes over the barrier and they fight amongst the fans. Rhodes wants a break so he runs up the ramp, feeding one of his paper-bag flunkies to Orton for an RKO.
After a break, and a skirmish at the top of the ramp, Orton practically drags Rhodes up the turnbuckles, then brings him back down with a superplex. After a second break, Rhodes is on fire as he traps Orton in a figure-four leglock. Rhodes employs questionable strategy when he breaks his own hold to smack Orton in the face with his protective mask. Orton gets the mask himself and repays Rhodes in kind.
After a dodged RKO and escaped Cross Rhodes, Orton takes Rhodes to the floor and gives him a leveraged DDT off the security barrier, then brings Rhodes back into the ring for an RKO and the win.
Winner via pinfall: Randy Orton
After living with the same and humiliation, and the lingering smell of recycled fiber, Orton gets his revenge by paper-bagging Rhodes. Plus, that's payback for doing it to Kermit, Cody.
Match #2 – Ted DiBiase vs. Tyson Kidd
Extremely even match until DiBiase gets his knees up to block an incoming elbow. DiBiase follows with his fake-out, rope-running clothesline. How does that still work? Does nobody watch tapes before their matches? DiBiase fights his way out of the Sharpshooter and takes Kidd to Dream Street.
Winner via pinfall: Ted DiBiase
Backstage, Mark Henry is talking to Matt Striker about why Big Show won't get another match, when he's distracted by Daniel Bryan looking for the vegan options at the craft services table. Henry has some choice words regarding Bryan and his chances of ever successfully capitalizing on his Money in the Bank contract. As often happens in the ruthless and aggressive world of wrestling, this conversation eventually turns into a challenge for a match which will come later on tonight.
Match #3 – Alicia Fox vs. Natalya (without Beth Phoenix)
All you need to know is that Natalya has Fox in the Sharpshooter, then releases it to try and re-apply it. Why? Fox slips away from the second attempt, hits an enzuigiri, and finishes Natalya with a somersault leg drop thing.
Winner via pinfall: Alicia Fox
Big Show comes to the ring with something to get off his chest, and it's a somewhat Christian-esque plea for one more match with Mark Henry to knock him out -- because mama said knock you out. Big Show really does his best LL Cool J, which is not to say it's all that good, just that it's his best. Next week, Big Show will be wearing the hottest throwback jerseys and laying some freestyle badmouth on anybody who looks at him sideways. Or not. Christian comes to the ring and makes basically the same observations I just made, while also suggesting that Big Show doesn't deserve another shot. Christian, however, is stupid enough to have said it in person, and Big Show delivers his choke-slam rebuttal.
Match #4 – Christian vs. Sheamus
Sheamus is more than ready for the match, but Christian is still recovering at ringside. Wade Barrett emerges to stand up and fight for the injured Christian. Is this what Barrett meant by not needing partners and walking alone (© Batista/Saliva)?
There are lots of heavy hits back and forth, as Sheamus potatoes Barrett in the ropes, and Barrett responding with his big kick while Sheamus is tied up. It gets sloppy after that, looking like a bad schoolyard fight with half-hearted forearm slaps. Sheamus is poised for the win when he lifts Barrett up for the High Cross, but Christian jumps up on the apron, allowing Barrett to roll Sheamus up for the victory.
Winner via pinfall: Wade Barrett
Christian slips into the ring to spear Sheamus, and he walks up the ramp triumphantly with Barrett. After the break, all three continue their hands-on discussion backstage, eventually to be separated by security. Elsewhere, Big Show lets Daniel Bryan know that he'll be in his corner later on.
Match #5 – Sin Cara vs. Epico
Epico looks strong with a sort of Three Amigos on Cara, but Cara is on his way to success as he sets up Epico for the Senton Bomb. Cara's troubles instantly double, though, as Hunico (the wrestler formerly known as Twin Cara) knocks him off the ropes and gleefully double-teams the faceless luchador along with Epico.
Winner via disqualification: Sin Cara
Match #6 – Mark Henry vs. Daniel Bryan
Bryan tries the required hit-and-run offense, but is unfortunately caught by Henry and tossed all around and out of the ring. Henry is unceremoniously squashing Bryan's face against the ringpost when Big Show blatantly interferes by chasing Henry away. The ref keeps the match going. Bryan starts chopping at Henry's legs, bringing him down to eye-level, but Bryan can't get any momentum. He is crushed in the corner by three running splashes when Big Show once again interjects, this time with a knock-out punch on Henry. The ref can't ignore this one.
Winner via disqualification: Mark Henry
With Mark Henry knocked out, Big Show pours some cold water in Bryan's face and seems to convince him to cash in Money in the Bank. Here are three reasons he doesn't: firstly, Bryan's storyline is that he is steadfastly waiting for Wrestlemania; secondly, the WWE learned their lesson regarding spoilers when Jack Swagger cashed in on pre-recorded Smackdown; and thirdly, Mark Henry wakes up and slams Bryan in the world's strongest manner.
The show is capped off by Teddy Long announcing that Big Show gets one more match against Mark Henry at Survivor Series. I would rather see them captain opposing teams filled with all the biggest mountains of men that the WWE could put together, but that's just the 1980s fan in me.
Dave Hillhouse is a screenwriter and teacher, and likes the name Epico. Makes me thing of Faith No More, and also hopes that his finishing move will be the Epi-Pen.

"The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." Mark Twain
The weak performance of commodity trading advisors (CTA) the last five years begs the question "are trend following strategies still profitable?"
In 2012, the aggressive and persistent actions by central banks and other authorities worldwide served to maintain an unfavorable market environment that began in 2009 for most trend following systematic programs. Many short, medium and long-term trend following CTAs, as well as other trend following hedge fund strategies performed poorly. Nevertheless, equity and futures markets experienced sizable moves.
By the end of 2012, indexes measuring CTA performance, the Barclay Btop50 Index (-2.0%), Newedge CTA Index (-3.1%), Newedge Short-Term Traders Index (-6.2%) and Newedge CTA Trend Sub-Index (-3.6%), had all given back earlier gains. While these indexes all reported losses for the second year in a row, the S&P500's climb (+13.4%) continued through year end. Although markets for hedge funds generally were better than for CTAs (barring the last couple months for quantitative based hedge funds), the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index rose only 3.5% in 2012.
This performance contrasts sharply with longer term numbers, particularly in the CTA space. Since 1980, as measured by the Barclay Hedge Btop50 Index of CTAs, managed futures have returned three times that of the S&P500, approximately 32 times an initial investment vs. 11times an original investment for the S&P 500. And in 2008 the S&P was down 45% while the Btop50 was up 14%. However, the Newedge Trend Following CTA Sub-Index is down 5.89% since the bottom of the financial crisis in March 2009. Recent flat to down CTA performance differs markedly when compared to average performance of about 6.0%/yr. from 1990 to 2000.
In contrast, from 2009 to May 2013, the S&P has rocketed about 130%. Yet many equity managers have not fared so well given the huge S&P tail wind; and during the four years following the stock market crash, investors have fled stocks in droves while embracing managed futures mutual funds, which are commonly trend following programs. It seems investors are miss-stepping everywhere they tread.
Not dead yet?
In light of such poor performance many CTAs and their panicked marketing agents continue to publicly argue that trend following is not dead. While the four- to five-year drawdown that many otherwise successful commodity and currency managers have experienced continues to wreak havoc with long-term track records, more and more of these battered traders are emphasizing that everything will be okay. Likewise, hedge fund managers representing various strategies believe they must stay the course and markets will sort out.
On the other hand, investors have increasingly come to believe that trend following is no longer profitable and their reasons are plentiful: market-moving government rhetoric and intervention – with forced suppression of interest rates, central bank policy change, high-frequency trading, a proliferation of commodity and currency-based ETFs, together with very large CTAs and hedge funds who throw around billions of dollars in the commodity space. So, what is contributing to such mass underperformance by so many managers?
Simply stated, trend following is at its core a long-volatility strategy. In other words, it makes money when volatility expands (i.e. during trending moves). Conversely, it suffers frequent but small losses during non-trending periods in exchange for such infrequent but large gains. During non-trending periods the strategy attempts to tread water through the judicial use of stop loss orders until some market movement provides a large outlier move in which the strategy can profit.
While the complexion of markets frequently changes, since 2009 markets traded by CTAs have been in a prolonged period of non-trendiness combined with a great deal of volatility. Managers who trade U.S. equities, while taking comfort in upward moving stock markets also have been subject to more volatile moves in both indexes and individual stocks. But what are the underlying factors that currently impact investable markets with a goal of better comprehending manager strategy and limitations.
Very few systems are profitable in all markets. Hence, it is generally agreed that a robust approach is far superior to an overly optimized one. Historically, together with prudent risk management the robust trading methodology has a far greater chance of surviving the rough patches. Thus, to make their programs truly robust, many CTAs use 25 years of data. Further, they overlay risk management and manager-specific rules to the purely quantitative portion of the trading program.

OAKLAND (AP) — The high-scoring Houston Rockets relied on defense for a change to earn a victory that will look far better in the standings.
Chandler Parsons scored 26 points, James Harden had 20 points and 11 assists and the Rockets overcame a horrendous shooting performance to beat the Golden State Warriors 94-88 on Friday night.
"We definitely had some positive steps in our defense," said Harden, who shot 3 for 17 from the floor. "On the road, playoff-atmosphere game, it shows the type of camaraderie we've got and the kind of togetherness we're building."
BOX SCORE: Rockets 94, Warriors 88
PLAYOFF WATCH: Lakers target Warriors, Rockets
Jeremy Lin added 15 points and seven rebounds to help Houston improve to 3-0 against his former team this season in a matchup for Western Conference playoff position.
Omer Asik added 17 rebounds for the Rockets (34-29), who are one game behind the Warriors (35-28) for sixth place in the conference.
"That's important," Lin said. "I actually didn't even think about (the tiebreaker) until today. But at the end of the day, if we don't take care of business from now until then we can forget about the tiebreaker."
Stephen Curry had 24 points and eight assists and Klay Thompson scored 22 points for Golden State, which fell to 2-1 during its season-long seven-game homestand. David Lee added 16 points and five rebounds for the Warriors despite bruising his right knee in the first half.
The Warriors shot 37.9% from the floor, while the Rockets were held to 36.5%. But Golden State was outscored 21-12 in the final quarter.
"I thought at times we were careless. I thought at times we were too passive," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "We didn't put the pressure on them. We settled. I think that was the difference. We settled."
The Rockets rallied to score the first nine points of the fourth quarter, going ahead 82-76 on Francisco Garcia's three-pointer. Curry and Thompson each connected from beyond the arc sandwiched around another Houston basket, then the Warriors tied the game at 86 on Harrison Barnes' layup with 3:50 remaining.
Harden made 3 of 4 free throws over the next two possessions to lift the Rockets to an 89-86 lead. Lee's dunk off a pretty pick-and-roll pass from Curry brought the Warriors within a point before Harden made another from the line to extend Houston's lead to 90-88 with 1:09 to play.
After Barnes missed a mid-range jumper, Lin got Curry in the air and drew a foul. Lin, cut by the Warriors last year before breaking out with the New York Knicks, made both free throws.
Then Curry missed an open three-pointer following a timeout, and Jackson declined to foul the Rockets after his players didn't immediately rush to get a whistle.
Instead, Harden lost the ball to Lee, whose quick pass ahead to Curry was intercepted by Carlos Delfino to seal Houston's victory.
"We're a young, streaky team and it was really important for us to come out and get this win," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said.
The Rockets entered the game averaging 107 points, which was tied with Oklahoma City for the most in the NBA. Houston had reached 100 points in 17 of past 18 games.
Houston helped its cause by making 25 of 34 free throws. Golden State shot 13 of 20 from the line.
The Rockets, who tied the NBA record with 23 made three-pointers in a testy 140-109 rout of the Warriors in Houston on Feb. 5, started out strong from long range. They made 5 of 6 from beyond the arc to take a 17-16 lead to open the game.
The Rockets finished 15 for 35 from beyond the arc.
Golden State briefly lost Lee to a bruised right knee after the All-Star forward missed a rebound and fouled Thomas Robinson with 4:36 remaining in the quarter. Lee went to the locker room for observation, and he returned in the second half wearing a white wrap around the knee.
"I've been waiting eight years to be in a playoff race," Lee said. "Once the doctors told me I couldn't do anything worse to hurt it, I was going to play."
The Warriors withstood Lee's limitations and Houston's shooters for most of the game. They started attacking the basket instead of settling on the perimeter, going ahead 41-28 on Curry's floater in the lane in the second quarter.
The Rockets regained their rhythm from behind the arc. Houston ended the second quarter on a 22-7 run, making 10 of 20 three-pointers before halftime for a 50-48 lead.
After Houston went ahead by seven in the third quarter, the Warriors found some relief from an unexpected place.
Andrew Bogut's three-pointer with the shot clock winding down highlighted 11 consecutive points to give Golden State a 70-66 lead. Bogut hadn't made a three-pointer since Dec. 1, 2006. He is 2 for 23 from long range in his career.
Bogut finished with three points, 11 rebounds, four steals and two blocks in 28 minutes.
Notes: The Warriors wore their yellow short-sleeve jerseys with pinstripe shorts for the second time, while Houston had its retro red and yellow uniforms. ... Thompson has scored at least 20 points in a career-high four consecutive games. ... Houston hosts Golden State on March 17 in the final meeting between the teams this season.
