Mark Sanchez didn't last long in the Jets' third preseason game.
After Geno Smith played most of the way, Sanchez finally came on in the fourth quarter, only to lose a fumble on his first series. Then on the next series, Sanchez suffered what appeared to be an injury to his throwing shoulder.
The injury happened when Sanchez took a hard shot from Giants defensive tackle Marvin Austin just after he threw a pass. Sanchez had also taken a hard hit on the previous play and may have still been feeling the effects of that hit as well.
Sanchez was in obvious pain as he held his shoulder, and he also looked frustrated that he hadn't had much of an opportunity to make a statement in the Jets' quarterback competition. Sanchez appeared to be the favorite to win the competition, but if Sanchez is hurt, Smith may be the winner by default.

UNDP and JICA Workshop in Addis Ababa to Support Local Government/Local Governance in Conflict-affected StatesJun 16, 2014
seeking new solutions for local governance in post-conflict situations
Contact information
Addis Ababa, 16 June 2014 - The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) today opened a two-day joint workshop on Supporting Local Government/Local Governance in Conflict-affected States. This joint event was organized based on discussions at the Annual Consultation Meeting between UNDP and JICA that took place in Tokyo in October 2013.
The workshop brings together JICA, UNDP and local government officials from fragile States to explore experiences, perspectives, and approaches to strengthen local governance. Eight conflict-affected States and regions are participating, including four programme countries from JICA: Burundi (Gitega); Philippines (Mindanao); Sudan (Darfur); and Uganda (Northern region). Five programmes from UNDP are also taking part: Somalia; Sierra Leone; Uganda (Northern region); Yemen; and the Programme of Assistance to the Palestinian People (PAPP).
This is the second joint workshop in which UNDP and JICA meet to focus on a particular development issue in conflict-affected areas. In 2012, UNDP and JICA co-organized a similar workshop in Nairobi, Kenya, which brought together UNDP and JICA practitioners in Africa in the area of livelihood recovery in post-conflict situations. As a result of the meeting, a Joint Community of Practice was established on the subject.
UNDP has enjoyed a long-standing organization-wide relationship with JICA, and have held periodical policy dialogues and consultations. Based on the result of these consultations, an MoU for comprehensive collaboration between the two organizations was signed between UNDP Administrator Helen Clark and Sadako Ogata, former JICA President, in Tokyo in 2009. The MoU acknowledged three priority areas: TICAD/African Development; Climate Change; Crisis Prevention and Recovery and Peace-building, as well as other cross-cutting issues such as Capacity Development, South-South Cooperation, Gender and Private Sector Development.
It is expected that through this joint event, UNDP and JICA will further strengthen their partnership and build greater capacity for workshop practitioners by exchanging knowledge and seeking new solutions for local governance in post-conflict situations.

Fact Sheet
Body Shape Changes (Lipodystrophy)
November 14, 2012
What Is Lipodystrophy?
Lipodystrophy, or "lipo" for short, is a collection of body shape changes in people taking antiretroviral medications (ARVs). "Lipo" refers to fat, and "dystrophy" means bad growth. These changes include fat loss, fat deposits, and metabolic changes.
Fat loss occurs in the arms, legs or face (sunken cheeks). This may be the most common feature of lipo.
Fat deposits can show up in the stomach, the back of the neck (a "buffalo hump"), the breasts (in both men and women) or other areas.
Metabolic changes can include increases in blood fats or lactic acid. Some people get "insulin resistance."
Fact Sheet 123 has information on lab tests for glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides.
There is no clear definition of lipo. As a result, health care providers report that between 5% and 75% of patients taking antiretroviral medications (ARVs) have some signs of lipo.
These changes were first called "Crix belly," because they were noticed in people taking the protease inhibitor Crixivan (indinavir). However, lipo can develop in people taking many different types of antiretroviral therapy (ART).
Is Lipo Dangerous?
Although it is not life threatening, lipo is a serious problem.
No researcher has suggested that people with lipo should stop taking ART.
What Causes Lipo?
We do not know what causes lipo. There are different causes for fat loss and fat gain.
Fat Loss
Zidovudine (Retrovir, AZT) and stavudine (Zerit, d4T) are linked to fat loss. Efavirenz (Sustiva) may also contribute.
Fat Gain
One theory is that protease inhibitors interfere with the body's processing of fat. However, some patients who have never taken protease inhibitors have lipo.
Another theory is that insulin resistance plays a role in lipo. People with insulin resistance tend to gain weight in the abdomen.
Lipo may also be similar to "Syndrome X" which can occur in people who have recovered from serious illnesses like childhood leukemia or breast cancer. For people with HIV, this may be caused by the recovery of the immune system after effective ART.
A large study found that the following factors increase the risk of developing lipodystrophy:
Can Lipo Be Treated?
If you have serious fat loss and are taking stavudine (d4T), retrovir (AZT) or efavirenz (Sustiva,) talk to your doctor about changing medications. However, it can take a long time to reverse changes in body shape.
Implants or injections are the only way to deal with sunken cheeks. These procedures have some risks, and can be quite expensive.
Taking rosiglitazone, a drug used to treat diabetes, and discontinuing the ARV drugs stavudine (Zerit) and retrovir (Zidovudine, AZT) was shown to restore some fat lost from arms and legs.
Fat gain, in some cases, can be cut out surgically or removed by liposuction.
Increased exercise and changes in diet can help. For example, more fiber in the diet may control insulin resistance and help decrease abdominal fat. Testosterone is also being studied to help with lipo symptoms. Human growth hormone is very effective in reducing fat deposits but has some serious side effects. A new medication, tesamorelin, (TH9507) by Theratechnologies is a growth hormone inducer. It reduces visceral fat accumulation in lipodystrophy. It has similar results to growth hormone with fewer side effects. It was approved by the FDA in 2010.
High cholesterol or glucose should be treated the same way as for people without HIV. Some health care providers use medications to lower cholesterol and triglycerides, or to improve insulin sensitivity. More attention is being paid to assessing and reducing the risk of heart disease in patients with HIV.
The Bottom Line
Lipo is a collection of changes in metabolism and body shape in people taking ARVs. There is no clear definition of lipo. Without knowing what causes lipo, we don't yet know how to treat it.
Changing or stopping ART is not recommended.
Until we know more about specific causes and treatments for lipo, its symptoms are treated the same way as for the general population.

Jarrow Formulas's probiotics for children came in a variety of forms (drops, powder, chewable tablets) and provide beneficial strains for infants, babies, and children.*
For 30 years, Jarrow Formulas's probiotics have featured multi-strain formulations that contain clinically documented strains shown to have maximum effectiveness for digestive health.*
Pet Dophilus® is a high quality, multi-strain, synbiotic probiotic supplement that promotes intestinal health and immune function in pets.*
Jarrow Formulas's probiotics for women contain clinically studied strains that have been scientifically demonstrated to address specific feminine health needs.*
According to the FAO/WHO, probiotics are defined as "live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host."
Microorganisms like bacteria are considered "probiotics" when they have been demonstrated, through various scientific studies and clinical trials, to confer health benefits and healthy bowel function in humans and/or animals.SEE ALL PROBIOTICS
The human gastrointestinal tract is an important part of the frontline of defense for the body's health. Our immune system is in constant communication with the microorganisms that live in our gut. In fact, about two-thirds of the human immune system is concentrated in and around the gut for this purpose.
One reason is that there is a communication highway from the gut to the brain. This has been described as the Microbiome-Gut-Brain axis. Its existence demonstrates that the effects of what happens in the gut extends beyond the immune system.!
It's helpful to think of the human body as a forest ecosystem. Intestinal health is strengthened by the variety, composition, and balance of all of those microorganisms. Diversity helps promote a more robust ecosystem that can better respond to the undesirable changes in the gut. It is the collective strength of the forest and the interaction of the diverse species living within it which provide protection for the forest.
Like the ecosystem of the forest, the human gastrointestinal tract functions more optimally when there's balance between its diverse elements. When bacteria and other microorganisms that reside in our gastrointestinal tract fall out of balance, the rest of the human body suffers.SEE ALL PROBIOTICS
Choose probiotics with actual strains that have been researched in scientific study.
Choose probiotics with strain identifications listed in the supplement facts panel for strain transparency. (e.g. B. Longum BB536 vs. B. Longum)
Choose a brand with a long, reputable probiotic history that sources from only the finest probiotic suppliers and researchers.
For maximum protection from gastric acid, choose probiotics with enteric coating to ensure probiotic survival through the stomach barrier and delivery into the intestines.
When it comes to choosing effective probiotics for better health, clinically documented strains matter.™
Jarrow Formulas' probiotics feature high-quality and clinically documented strains that have been developed through years of research and innovation. Some manufacturers want you to believe that the best probiotic supplements are measured by how many billions of CFUs (colony-forming units) of bacteria they've managed to stuff into a capsule. It's much more important to have the right balance of clinically documented strains..
Researchers conduct years of studies on strains before one is selected for probiotic use. These strains are identified by designations such as R0011, R0052, LBV 96, or GR-1 that appear right after the species name.
It's important for the strains in a probiotic product to have been sufficiently characterized and clinically studied. Some probiotic manufacturers sometimes list only the genus and species names in the supplement facts panel, leaving out the specific strains that are actually present in the product. Knowing the actual strain used in a probiotic formulation is of the utmost importance.SEE ALL PROBIOTICS
It's important to look for product labels that are transparent in identifying the specific probiotic strains present in the formulation. Probiotic strain identification (see strain ID listed in GREEN to the right) are displayed as a unique letter and number code following the genus and species name (e.g. "Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14"). Strain transparency is critical when choosing an effective probiotic. Genus / species names are typically listed on supplement facts panels, but knowing the specific strain that's actually in the product is what's most important.
Make sure your probiotics contain probiotic strains that have been clinically documented and researched for positive effects. Avoid products that list only generic genus and species names that entirely leave out probiotic strain ID numbers. Such manufacturers are often attempting to hide generic, poorly characterized, or even completely unidentified strains.
As an innovator of consumer probiotics since 1986, Jarrow Formulas® has long advocated for the scientific wisdom of formulating multi-strain probiotics which utilize specially selected bacteria strains that best support targeted health benefits such as intestinal and immune health.*
Strains matter™, and at Jarrow Formulas we take great pride in using high-quality and scientifically documented strains in our probiotic line that have been developed through years of research and innovation alongside renowned partner suppliers Lallemand-Institut Rosell, Chr. Hansen, Morinaga Dairy and HSO Health Care GmbH.SEE ALL PROBIOTICS
EnteroGuard® is a proprietary cellulose-based, food-grade, pH-sensitive enteric coating that resists stomach acid and disintegrates in the less acidic pH of the upper intestines.
The acidity of the stomach forms an important natural barrier against the entry of bacteria into the rest of the digestive tract. Jarro-Dophilus's enteric coated capsules bypass the acid barrier and thereby optimize the amount of friendly bacteria to the intestines, giving superior results with fewer capsules. EnteroGuard® ensures that nearly 100% of the probiotics pass through the stomach unharmed and are released in the intestines intact and ready to act.SEE ALL ENTERIC COATED PROBIOTICS

Wireboard needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 90 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
A small online tech consulting company, helping 1-20 person businesses take advantage of the exploding high quality services on the web, such as email blasting platforms, hosted CMS, analytics, maps, hosted photos/videos, etc...
Average project size is in the ~$5k range. The "Wireboard" name came from a concept that a successful online presence arises from wiring together multiple tools *and* also from the concept of connecting people.
Owners of small/medium sized businesses looking for someone to help them make sense of what they can and should be doing on the web, and how to actually make it all happen in a manageable way.
You can see the old wireboard.com site at archive.org. I also have a current and quite horrible page up at wireboard.com. The intent is there, but the execution was mine :p
No requirement to pull any elements forward from old site into this design except the name.
I do like simple designs like 37signals.com/DaringFireball.net, and think HappyCog.com is quite nice as well, as I think their designs help the customer feel like the complexity inherent in all the new online technologies can be reduced to something understandable and human.
Would like a logo/identity that has an obvious element that can be reduced to a very small "favicon" size as well.

Gordo's high-volume regional power grids are antiques just waiting to fail bigtime.
Anyone who's been paying attention expects this winter to be the most hazardous one we've had in a very long time. Based on some reliable factors, we may even be headed for utter disaster:
Power grids in major population centers throughout Alabama are just one big snowstorm away from failure, and you can't ignore it.
Right now, before it's too late to worry about, being prepared for the challenges ahead could be more important to your family's safety than it's ever been.
Every year, Winter comes to Alabama and leaves devastating blizzards, ice storms, and cold snaps in its wake. Millions of residents are at risk of losing power for days or weeks on end, and the vast majority don't have a backup plan.
Realistically, in the middle of a winter power outage, most will not be able to stay in their own homes for longer than a few hours. And if the evacuation orders begin, options are limited to costly hotels, unsafe shelters, or imposing on family and friends.
The best option is the most obvious one: save your money, stay comfortable, and prepare to shelter in your own home.
But all too frequently, people wait until it's too late to make preparations. They hear news of an incoming storm, head to a local store, and fight their way through crowds of people to go to stock up on the items they'll need一only to find that the store is already sold out.
Extreme winter conditions are already on their way, and the time to prepare is now.
Ahead of time of any major storm, in all likelihood you'll hear the well known PSA cautioning you to ensure you have enough sustenance and water to last your family 7 days.
As if simply marking off those two boxes implies your family has nothing else to stress over.
And it's a real possibility that these conditions could keep going for a considerable length of time (even years) while our defenseless infrastructure scrambles to react.
In this conceivably disastrous Winter Storm season, being prepared doesn't simply mean recognizing the cracks in your preparedness and reacting to them later. It means taking proactive action to guarantee all your family's needs are counted and tended to.
When I went through a hypothetical snowstorm situation with my family, I arrived at a disquieting conclusion. (Keep in mind that because of my passion for Independent Living, I'm significantly more prepared than most.)
This is what I discovered...
If the storm brought on enough harm to wipe out supply chains - gas, transportation and power - my family had positively NO source of long-term backup power.
What's more, after analyzing the available offering of backup generators, things looked somber. Over the span of my testing, I found that...
It never needs gas is tougher than a Texas tick...
I didn't want to be like those high-rise suit guys at the big companies. They design in a bubble. So I tested it. I put the PowerWhisperer through the wringer in every scenario I could imagine. And I went back to the engineer many times to tweak and add and take away.
All-in-all the project cost me well over $1 million.
Then, I sent it out to my community and had them do their own tests. I took the feedback and I created the PowerWhisperer M-Type.
I took every suggestion and piece of feedback and worked it into the final design, with all of these features...
The PowerWhisperer is not something to be put in your bug out kit or reserve cellar in case of the worst scenario and never to be used again. I built it to be THE MOST VERSATILE backup power source on the market.
And to make sure you get your money's worth, I'll send you (FREE) with your purchase my guide on 17 Different Uses for The PowerWhisperer.
For everything from bug out to tailgating, you'll find yourself using the PowerWhisperer at least once a month in safe, ideal conditions and daily in inclement weather or survival scenarios. The PowerWhisperer will pay for itself several times over.
When you place your order for the PowerWhisperer M-Type now, you'll receive...
If you order today, I'll also offer FREE SHIPPING.
I've already told you my goal is to put a PowerWhisperer M-Type in all 200 million homes at risk for disasters this year. So for the snow season, I've ramped up production of the PowerWhisperer.
The retail value of this complete system is $3,997 but during the snowstorm season, I am offering a Preparedness Discount of 30% Off the Complete Disaster Survival System.
There's a limited number of units set aside for the season and when they're gone, I'll go back to offering the system for full retail.
If you prefer to order by phone, call my 24-hour toll-free line at 1-877-371-1807
Immediately when your PowerWhisperer arrives, you can begin using it with no setup required. Weekend camping trip ready. Or try it out that night at the tailgate party. Everything you need is in the box. Additionally, you'll have the straightforward instruction guide and 17 Uses For the PowerWhisperer Guide for motivation.
I need you to put the PowerWhisperer under serious scrutiny. I've already told you my goal is to help as many people as possible stay protected this winter season. If you feel the PowerWhisperer won't help you, I NEED to know. I want to see it tested in every environment possible.
With that said, everyone has different power and survival needs. Test it out in your home, with your family. Do this for the entire snow season and laugh in the face of every outage.
If within 6-months you find a better solution, I'll be happy to refund your money minus a small restocking fee so I can inspect your unit and send it along. No doubt someone else will be waiting for your PowerWhisperer so they can be prepared.
You've already read about how much research I've done into backup power options. And if you're anything like me, here's what you'll do next:
It's too easy to bookmark this page and come back to it later. I get it. We're planners. I don't want you to have to explain to your family that you were "thinking about" investing in backup power that one time. That you were going to "budget for it."
When it comes to disaster preparation there's one thing I've learned -- there's a huge difference between "planning" for a disaster and "preparing." Everyone has a "plan" but when disaster strikes, it's only those that are prepared that will survive it.
With the uncertainty of the weather forecasts, you simple don't have time to wait.
-Lee Bellinger

Services have been set for Old Tappan father and Westchester County native Michael Stanley, who died in a snowmobile accident on Friday, March 17. He was 44 years old..
Visitation is scheduled on Wednesday, March 22, at Cassidy-Flynn Funeral Home Inc., in Mt. Kisco from 4 to 8 p.m.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 1 p.m. on Thursday, March 23, at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church in Tappan.
Stanley was operating a 2015 Ski-Doo that struck a concrete bridge on a trail in the upstate New York town of Boonville, Oneida County Sheriff Robert Maciol said.
Boonville Ambulance transported him with serious injuries to St. Elizabeth's Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, Maciol said.
Michael "Mike" H. Stanley was born in Sleepy Hollow to Skip and Rose Stanley on March 27, 1972. He was the first of two boys.
He graduated from Croton-Harmon High School and continued his education at State University of New York at Delhi (Delhi), where he obtained a degree in AutoCAD. AutoCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) program used for 2-D and 3-D design and drafting used by architects and construction professionals.
Stanley married his wife, Eleanor Marie Koutsoukos, in June 2013. He had one daughter named Chloe from this union and another daughter named Amanda from a previous marriage.
He worked closely with his dad for several years, running a family-owned electrical contracting company in Westchester County located in Pleasantville. Stanley most recently was the director of construction at Michilli, Inc. a construction and consulting services firm in New York City.
He was most passionate about spending time with his family and friends, opening day at Yankee Stadium, getting in a round of golf with friends, planning his future with his family, listening to music from Billy Joel and more.
Stanley is survived by his wife, Eleanor; two children Amanda (16) and Chloe (2); his grandmother Lina Maroth; his mother and father, Skip and Rose; brother Chris (sister in law Adele); brother in law Dominick; sisters in law Angela, Christina, and Joanna; and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, god children, other relatives and friends.

Celeb Crush: Nikki Williams
Our crush today is an incredibly talented and sexy-as-heck singer who was born in South Africa. We're sure happy to have her in our neck of the woods these days.
A newcomer to the music scene, we decided to check Nikki out after reading about her impressive live performances. Just one listen to her new single, 'Glowing' made us fall in love with her; this girl is a babe, and she has one of the most powerful, soulful voices to come out of dance pop in quite some time. We don't even like dance music, seriously.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we know that her BAMF persona is no act -- Nikki was once married to Nicholas Cage's son, and they divorced after a fight that landed this babe in jail. She's tough as nails, and we're sure he had it coming.

Where'd You Go, Bernadette
A Novel
Maria Semple
Little, Brown: 330 pp., $25.99
Bernadette has a problem — well, actually, she has a few. She is entirely exasperated by the way the streets are laid out in Seattle. She dislikes Canadians. She's not interested in helping out at her daughter's school, which values parental involvement and "global connectitude." She can be vocal, inclined toward sharing her opinions with her adolescent daughter Bee and brilliant, patient husband. Her opinions — they are the problem. In one context, they are funny riffs; taken out of context, they can look like rants. And maybe a little insane.
As the title of Maria Semple's delightful novel "Where'd You Go, Bernadette" makes clear, Bernadette has gone missing. The story of the weeks leading to her disappearance and what happens after is told by Bee, who loves her mother, idiosyncrasies and all. Bright and endlessly curious, Bee assembles a variety of documents — emails, memos, handwritten exchanges, magazine articles, police reports — and links them with a few personal observations. It's an epistolary novel, modern style.
When the story begins, Bee has done so well in eighth grade that she demands her parents make good on an idle promise: that the family take a cruise to Antarctica. Her father, Elgin, is game, even though he'll have to take time off from Microsoft, where he's leading an important project. Bernadette says she'll go too; although she's reluctant to follow through, she begins planning their trip anyway.
It's not much work. Unbeknownst to her family, Bernadette has used the Internet to outsource her daily responsibilities to a virtual personal assistant, Manjula Kapoor. For the price of just 75 cents an hour, Manjula buys their tickets, orders gear and even makes the family's dinner reservations at a place down the street. Right from the start, Bernadette overshares with Manjula, as if she's a therapist.
"I came up here on a whim, pretty much," she writes in one long e-mail. "We'd been living in L.A. when Elgie's animation company was bought by Big Brother. Whoops, did I say Big Brother? I meant Microsoft. Around the same time, I'd had a Huge Hideous Thing happen to me (which we definitely do not need to get into.) Let's just say it was so huge and so hideous that it made me want to flee L.A. and never return." Manjula gives a terse two-line response, but Bernadette hangs onto the relationship, no matter how unequal.
Bernadette has become isolated, left to stew in her own obsessions. She focuses on the unpleasant mothers from Bee's school, whom she calls gnats. (Not nice. But as we see from their e-mail exchanges, the animosity goes both ways.) And she complains about Seattle.
That city, the subject of so many of Bernadette's rants, gets a satiric treatment that's more sweet than sour. And its most amusingly rendered aspects — the exceedingly progressive school, a jargon-spouting fundraiser, ostentatiously eco-conscious neighbors — could be found in any upper-class suburb. Yet Bee's family, which moved into a falling-down former girls school, remains apart, particularly the truculent Bernadette.
In L.A., she had worked as an architect. After Bee was born early and sick, raising her became Bernadette's only project. Surprisingly, it turns out she's a legend — her career was so individual and rarefied that she got a MacArthur "genius" grant. Then, abruptly, it ended.
Semple's characters are marvelous: They have untold secrets, personalities with multiple dimensions, moments of failure and grace. Maybe this is what Semple learned writing for the television show "Mad About You." Before she left Hollywood — like Bernadette, Semple now lives in Seattle — she was a producer on"Arrested Development,"and there is quite a bit of that show's unexpected, antic plotting in this novel. Its many twists and turns are genuinely surprising, so unexpected that I feel bad about mentioning the MacArthur fellowship.
Bernadette isn't the family's only genius: Elgin has given a TED talk — the fourth most-watched one — about the project he's working on at Microsoft. He's all humility, padding around in stocking feet, staying late and quietly worrying about Bernadette. Although she's not around for the planned trip, Elgin goes on it with Bee anyway, trying to be a good dad in a bad situation.
I have to admit, this book does not fall in my sweet spot. A warm and humorous family drama, set in an upscale suburb, narrated by an unusually intelligent teenager — all those descriptors typically would send me running.
But I've seen Semple read; she was delightful and clever. She has written a fantastic, funny novel. Its affecting characters, not-necessarily-nice humor and surprising plot twists make this novel an enchanting ride.

Gold (COMEX:GCZ13) will drop in each of the next four quarters and reach a four-year low as reduced U.S. stimulus in response to faster economic growth curbs demand for bullion as a haven, the most accurate forecasters said.
The metal will decline to an average of $1,175 an ounce in the third quarter next year, or 11% less than now, according to the median of estimates from the 10 most-accurate precious metals analysts tracked by Bloomberg over the past two years. Prices were last at that level in 2010.
The forecasts underscore how some investors lost faith in gold as a store of value, driving prices to their first annual loss in 13 years. More than $63 billion was erased from the value of gold-backed funds this year, spurring losses for billionaire hedge-fund manager John Paulson, and mining companies announced at least $26 billion of writedowns. Bullion jumped today after Dagong Global Credit Rating Co. cut its U.S. credit rating and on speculation the Federal Reserve will postpone slowing stimulus.
"Desire to buy gold as a hedge against the consequences of monetary policy has diminished," said Tom Kendall, an analyst at Credit Suisse Group AG in London whose precious-metals forecasts were the second most-accurate over the past two years. "When you've got other asset classes, equities in particular, doing so well, then it's hard to divert investments out of them and into something like gold, which is falling."
Bear Market
The metal slid 22% to $1,314.85 in London this year after tumbling into a bear market in April. It's now 32% below the record $1,921.15 set in September 2011. The Standard & Poor's GSCI gauge of 24 commodities fell 1.4% since the start of January, the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities advanced 15% and the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bond Index lost 2.5%.
Gold retreated this month even during the U.S. government shutdown, which began Oct. 1. As U.S. lawmakers last week debated extending an Oct. 17 deadline on the government's borrowing authority, bullion still fell the most in a month, reflecting weakening demand for the metal as a hedge against financial turmoil. Congress voted yesterday to end the impasse, with bullion losing as much as 0.2%.
While the Federal Reserve refrained from trimming stimulus in September, most policy makers said the central bank was likely to taper this year, according to minutes of the meeting released Oct. 9. U.S. economic growth will accelerate to 2.6% in 2014, from 1.6% this year, according to the mean of 90 economist estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

Networking Tips That Won't Blow Your Cover
Caroline M.L. Potter | HotJobs
If you've got a job, you probably want to hold on to it until you find another one, even if it's less than ideal. But remember, in most states, employment is at-will, meaning you can be fired for almost any reason (so long as it is not discriminatory) — including looking for a new position.
So how can a job seeker tap the full power of her network without blowing her cover with her boss? Use these tips from national workplace columnist and career advisor Liz Ryan to keep your job search under wraps.
• Tell Your People — in Person: Ryan says your network is your best resource for finding new opportunities, but use it with caution. "Because even our most well-meaning friends can inadvertently spill the beans in unfortunate ways, it's best to share this news in person, while you're looking in someone's eyes," she says. This will allow you to stress how important discretion is.

How much could you be making?
• Mix and Mingle: Start going to face-to-face networking events to expand your network. To keep things discrete, Ryan advises, "Don't announce, 'I'm job-hunting.' Instead, tell other attendees, 'I work for XYZ company doing A, B and C. Of course, like everyone else, I've got my eyes open right now.'"
• Build Your Profile to Raise Your Profile: Network from the comfort of your own home by expanding your LinkedIn profile (or creating one if you don't already have one). "Build your LinkedIn profile and your LinkedIn network by inviting friends and colleagues — all but the people you work with right now — to join your network," Ryan says.
• Tap Your Resources When Doing Research: When thinking about where you want to work next, Ryan says look first to your network. "Begin to research employers and reach out to them through trusted friends and colleagues who either work there now, used to work there or know people who can make introductions to the employer for you."
• Expand Your Network and Knowledge Online: Another way to build your network is to participate in online discussion groups. "Look for groups devoted to job-search and career topics to grow your knowledge base and contacts," Ryan says.

The North Shore of Hawaii is where the soul of surfing is located. The Banzai Pipeline is where the heart of that soul resides. Every winter, surfers from around the world converge on the North Shore to reconnect, challenge, master and sometimes pay the ultimate price at this location.
The shooting technique is a slow shutter speed while panning with the surfer. This creates a fluidity to the water and produces a unique visual effect.
This was photographed with a 600 mm lens at F4 and a shutter speed around 1/30 of a second.

Can you see such systems on the last list ? The Top500 team asked us before the official release to check the Myrinet entries and we can confirm that we shipped hardware for all of them. We have found a few mistakes in the past (Ethernet cluster with the same Rmax than similar Myrinet cluster for example). Sometimes, results are abnormal (Myrinet clusters benchmarked with Ethernet or very bad efficiency because of bad HPL parameters), sometimes people are too busy to even run Linpack and their machines are not on the list, but vendors tricks are usually easy to spot.

A New Open Data Center Fabric Emerges for The Age of Software-Defined Infrastructure
by Nick Lippis, Lippis Consulting
A number of independent trends are driving a new age of software-defined networking and overall infrastructure. These trends include a new IT delivery model based upon cloud computing, big data analytics, Internet of Things and new IT delivery model. This trend is so massive that no army will stop its progression that's rooted in the separation of network hardware from its high-value software. At the heart of this trend is realization that wide area and data center networking is transitioning to a software model which has implications that stem from how IT organizations are organized to how applications are delivered and maintained. We focus this white paper on the transition to software and the implications upon networking from a perspective of fabric and services, which connects servers and storage to the internet/intranet.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Raise your hand, you twisted souls, if you're ready for another episode of the Dwight Howard–Stan Van Gundy show.
Even Hawks fans, a group starved for both star power on the roster and stability with the coaching staff, are wary of the potential pairing of these former Orlando Magic stalwarts in the ATL. Their deteriorating relationship marred their final season together in a situation that was anything but magic in Orlando.
But when the coaching carousel kicks up this time of year, and a half-dozen or so different teams are picking over the same small pool of elite coaching candidates, all things are possible.
Van Gundy, and his brother, Jeff Van Gundy, are going to be on short lists everywhere, along with Phil Jackson, Jerry Sloan, Larry Brown and whoever the assistant coach(es) du jour might be.
What looks good on paper and sounds sweet in theory, however, doesn't always hold up in reality. Multiple reports of Stan Van Gundy being pursued by the Hawks, who have announced that they will explore all options in determining who replaces Larry Drew (if they replace him), make perfect sense. Hawks GM Danny Ferry is in the process of rebuilding his roster and needs a coach on board before the Draft.
"I have great appreciation and respect for Larry and how he led our team this season," Ferry told Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Saturday. "At the same time, it is my responsibility and in the best interests of the Hawks organization to consider all of our options, and talk with other potential head coaches before making a decision about who will lead our basketball team. Larry and I have had open communication about this approach. If Larry and I continue to work together, we ultimately will be a stronger organization because of our discussions and this thorough process."
That's an eloquent way of stating the obvious: that the Hawks plan on moving on from the past nine years (Drew was an assistant under current Knicks Mike Woodson during his six seasons with Atlanta before Drew spent the last three season its coach). And it's understandable. No one will blame Ferry for making a clean break from the Hawks' recent past, provided he upgrades the coaching situation and the roster with all of that $33 million in cap space and the four Draft picks the Hawks will be armed with this summer.
The burning question remains, then, is Stan Van a legitimate upgrade?
He did take the Magic to The Finals in 2009, the Miami Heat to the Eastern Conference finals (2005) and did the same with Orlando (2010). But he was shown the door in both places after his star players grew tired of his grinding ways. Weighing the pros and cons of Stan Van being the face and voice of your franchise heading into a huge free-agent summer is a risky proposition for the Hawks, one that Ferry is surely aware of as he continues to sort through the process of finding the right coach.
There are five other current openings around the league, with another one (Los Angeles Clippers … ?) still looming. With a bevy of candidates, we take a look at who fits best where and why …
Atlanta Hawks: Mike Malone, assistant coach Golden State Warriors
In a realm where it's often who you know as well as what you know, Malone can check those boxes with the Hawks. He's done stellar work with the Warriors, helping guide them into a prime time position this postseason under Mark Jackson. He also worked under Mike Brown in Cleveland when Ferry ran that franchise. Malone is a nuts-and-bolts coach who won't come with the baggage of some of the more recognizable candidates for the job. He's universally respected and will likely be on the interview list for every opening out there.
Brooklyn Nets: Jeff Van Gundy, ABC/ESPN analyst
No available coach has a better handle on the rigors of guiding a team in the New York area. Van Gundy's Knicks history, along with his work on ABC and ESPN broadcasts, has kept him in the forefront of a lot of people's minds. He's got the coaching chops required to manage a complex and talented roster that clearly needs a guiding force to reach its potential. His former partner in the booth, Mark Jackson, has done wonders in his first coaching stint in Golden State. Van Gundy could work similar magic with a Nets team that underachieved this season.
Charlotte Bobcats: Larry Drew, coach Atlanta Hawks
Drew worked alongside Bobcats owner Michael Jordan when they were both in Washington, so there is plenty of familiarity there. He also impressed many around the league with the work he did in an impossible situation in Atlanta the past three seasons. Even with constant changes on the roster and in the front office, Drew coached the Hawks to three straight playoff appearances. He would walk into a situation in Charlotte that looks a lot like the one he walked into with the Hawks nine years ago. That blueprint for thriving in the face of adversity could come in handy for the Bobcats.
Detroit Pistons: Jerry Sloan, former coach Utah Jazz
The Pistons have a roster filled with talented young players in need of guidance and direction. That's the idea fit for a disciplinarian like Sloan, who could work wonders with bigs Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond in particular. Sloan's Jazz teams were known for being the model of consistency. He won with superstar talent (Karl Malone and John Stockton) and kept on winning after they retired. The Pistons have had their greatest success in recent years under another veteran coach, Larry Brown, and could return to relevance under Sloan.
Milwaukee Bucks: David Fizdale, assistant coach Miami Heat
With the Big 3 in Miami, most of the attention has been strictly on the players. But Erik Spoelstra's key hire since taking over as coach in Miami was luring Fizdale away from the Hawks. He's considered one of the brightest up-and-coming coaching candidates in the league and has done fantastic work with the continued development of both Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. Luring him away from a championship situation in Miami won't be easy for the Bucks or anyone else. But Fizdale has designs on running his own team and working with Bucks GM John Hammond would be a good place to get that first shot.
Philadelphia 76ers: Stan Van Gundy, former coach Orlando Magic
After the emotional roller coaster that was the Doug Collins experience, Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner, Thaddeus Young, Spencer Hawes and the rest of the Sixers' young core need a savvy veteran to deal with, not a first-time coach who would have to transition to a new gig in a city known for chewing up the strongest of personalities. Stan Van gives the Sixers a bold personality to lead the way and an absolute technician of the game to help push the right buttons for a team that needs the sort of stewardship he tried to provide in Orlando.

Oscar and Golden Globe Winner Kathy Bates Returns to "The Office"
Drew Carey ("The Price Is Right," "The Drew Carey Show") and Rob Corddry ("Hot Tub Time Machine") Make Guest Appearances in "Community"
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - July 30, 2010 - NBC's upcoming fall season features additional guest stars, including the return of Kathy Bates to "The Office" (Thursdays, 9-9:30 p.m. ET). In addition, Drew Carey ("The Price Is Right," "The Drew Carey Show") and Rob Corddry ("Hot Tub Time Machine") make guest appearances on "Community" (Thursdays, 8-8:30 p.m. ET).
The following details their guest appearances:
* Oscar and Golden Globe Award winner Kathy Bates ("Misery," "Titanic") to reprise her guest-starring role in "The Office" next season as Jo Bennett, the tough CEO of Sabre who re-visits the Scranton office. "The Office" is from Deedle-Dee Productions, Reveille LLC and Universal Media Studios.
* In the third episode of the new season of "Community," Carey will portray Ted, a good-natured --but much feared patriarch -- at Jeff's (Joel McHale) old law firm. Meanwhile, Corddry will play Alan, Jeff's best friend at his old law firm who bumps into him on the Greendale campus and lures Jeff back into his old life back at the prestigious firm. "Community" is from Sony Pictures Television.
In addition, Bates will star in NBC's upcoming mid-season drama "Harry's Law" as a curmudgeonly ex-patent lawyer who, after having just been fired from her cushy job, is completely disillusioned with her success and looking for a fresh start.

- Start vncviewer (so it connects to repeater)
Start SC (July 2014) and accept UAC prompt
Host shows SC tray icon (as not connected)
...70 seconds elapse (no visible sign of anything happening)...
Viewer pops up and SC shows as connected (and everything seems to work fine at this point)
I tried putting the old winvnc.exe back (dated October 2011, but using the current version hooks and encryption dlls) and the delay is gone. The repeater didn't change and I tried reverting vncviewer.exe but it didn't help so it's clearly SC that's causing it. Any thoughts what could be causing the delay in connecting? I'd like the bug fixes and performance benefits of the latest version of SC, but an over a minute delay is a killer.
Thanks for any thoughts!

Usually one have 5 base sensations: visual, auditory, tactile, gustatory and sense of smell. visual sensation is critical because it gives majority of infor…mation about environment. There are colourful ads, shop windows, coloured walls, vivid buses and trams around us. There is a lot of visual information so we often pay a little attention to it. But the people with no visual sensation usually have only four base sensations. How does one lives without critical sensaton?

Mother Nature dropped by Rangers Ballpark unannounced last evening, unleashing a thunderclap at the Rangers-Twins game that evacuated the bowels of all in attendance. Twins outfielder Denard Span claimed "That's the loudest noise I've ever heard. I thought Jesus was comin!" on his Twitter account, while fellow outfielder Ben Revere chimed in, "My heart stopped when I heard the thunder at the stadium. Glad no one heard me scream like a little girl too!! Lol."
Rangers authorities were quick to point out the lightning struck outside, not inside, the stadium, though the reaction from fans & players suggests it was plenty close regardless.
The weather caused a 45-minute delay that didn't help fans get home for work Monday morning as late-inning defensive mistakes by the Twins allowed Texas to push across three late runs to force extras, eventually won with a 13th-inning Ian Kinsler walk-off single.

Educational Materials produced by
the United Nations Holocaust Programme
Study Guide "The Last Flight of Petr Ginz"
The Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Programme, in partnership with The International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem, The Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority and The Documentary Film Program at Wake Forest University, has produced this study guide for middle and high school students to accompany the film The Last Flight of Petr Ginz. The film is a production of The Documentary Film Program at Wake Forest University and The Documentary Institute at The University of Florida, and tells the story of a young Jewish boy from Prague who loved to write and draw.
Petr began writing in a diary in 1941, when he was 13 years old and living in Prague under Nazi occupation. Through the factual and succinct telling of his daily deeds – school, home, a walk in the afternoon, a list of books he read, visiting friends – and his expressive illustrations, Petr draws us into a world of wonder, inspiration, creativity and imagination. At the age of 14, Petr was taken from his family in Prague and sent to the ghetto and transit camp of Terezin. Petr continued writing and creating art during his two years in Terezin, until the Nazis sent him to his death at Auschwitz when he was only 16 years old.
This study guide attempts to open a window into Petr's life through his creativity. His imagination was his only escape from the Nazis – it transported him to Prague, outer space, and other far away places beyond the confines of Terezin, where he was imprisoned. Petr's writings and artwork can give us insight into the experience of one Jewish boy and how he dealt with the circumstances he found himself in during World War II. Through Petr's story, we might begin to understand something about the history and human that was the Holocaust.

It's often difficult, when viewing American media, to get any actual military news from Lebanon. Body counts, yes; information about how the battle is going, no. To fill that gap, check out Blog of the Week Vital Perspective:
Over the past 24 hours…the IDF carried out over 60 aerial attacks…against Hezbollah structures, posts and headquarters, including some used for storage of weaponry, a number of rocket launchers, including a launcher that was used to launch rockets at Afula, trucks and containers that carried weaponry, several Hezbollah weapon storage facilities, several rocket launching sites in southern Lebanon and routes used by Hezbollah to reach these sites. During the day, the IDF also continued firing artillery into southern Lebanon, targeting terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon along the border.
During IDF activity in Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon yesterday, IDF forces uncovered 5 anti-tank missiles, 30 hand grenades, 41 ammunition clips, 10 battle vests, 20 assault rifles, 15 handguns, 4 shotguns, a mine detector and equipment used to manufacture and detonate explosive devices. During the activity 26 Hezbollah terrorists were killed by IDF forces.
Israel has also confirmed that Nur Shalhoub, a senior Hezbollah terrorist, was killed in an aerial attack of his vehicle on Thursday. Shalhoub was responsible for the smuggling of strategic weapons for Hezbollah including long range missiles, which can reach deep into Israel. The IAF targeted the vehicle in the area of Bekaa during a smuggling attempt. In addition to Shalhub, several additional terrorists who were in the vehicle were killed. The vehicle was loaded with missiles at the time of the attack.
The Jerusalem Post has more, focusing on the fighting in and around Bint Jbail:
IDF ground forces operating in the southern Lebanon villages of Bint Jbail and Maround al-Ras pulled back on Saturday, and the IAF was striking Hizbullah targets in Bint Jbail.
OC Northern Command Maj.-Gen. Udi Adam said Saturday that the army had never intended to take over Bint Jbail, and that the operations there were designed to strike at Hizbullah capabilities. This goal, he said, was "fully realized." Adam described Bint Jbail as "almost in ruins," and added that the IDF had secured strategic posts around the village.
IDF forces killed at least 50 Hizbullah operatives and wounded hundreds on Friday during the intense firefight [at Bint Jbail]. Most of the wounded operatives were from Hizbullah's special forces and had come to the village to shore up the regular Hizbullah guerrillas there.

Hybrid symbolic-numeric computation methods, which first appeared some twenty years ago, have gained considerable prominence. Algorithms have been developed that improve numeric robustness (e.g. in quadrature or solving ODE systems) using symbolic techniques prior to, or during, a numerical solution. Likewise, traditionally symbolic algorithms have seen speed improvements from adaptation of numeric methods (e.g., lattice reduction methods). There is also an emerging approach of characterizing, locating, and solving ``interesting nearby problems'', wherein one seeks an important event (for example a nontrivial factorization or other useful singularities), that in some measure is close to a given problem (one that might have only imprecisely specified data). Many novel techniques have been developed in these complementary areas, but there is a general belief that a more overarching understanding and approach will foster future progress. Problems we are interested are driven by applications in computational physics (quadrature of singular integrals), dynamics (symplectic integrators), robotics (global solving of direct and inverse problems near singular manifolds), control theory (stability of models), and dynamic modeling of large-scale continuous and hybrid discrete-continuous dynamical systems. Emphasis will be given to validated (certified) outputs by 1. error estimation or 2. interval techniques or 3. global optimization strategies based on semidefinite programming and exact sums-of-squares.
This workshop will provide a forum for researchers on both sides (and the middle!) of hybrid symbolic-numeric computation. We
anticipate inviting as primary speakers some of the original contributors in the field, as well as younger researchers making
strong contributions on different aspects of the field.

Meet Lucene
1.4.2 Searching an index
Searching in Lucene is as fast and simple as indexing; the power of this functionality is astonishing, as chapters 3 and 5 will show you. For now, let's look at Searcher, a command-line program that we'll use to search the index created by Indexer. (Keep in mind that our Searcher serves the purpose of demonstrating the use of Lucene's search API. Your search application could also take a form of a web or desktop application with a GUI, an EJB, and so on.)
In the previous section, we indexed a directory of text files. The index, in this example, resides in a directory of its own on the file system. We instructed Indexer to create a Lucene index in a build/index directory, relative to the directory from which we invoked Indexer. As you saw in listing 1.1, this index contains the indexed files and their absolute paths. Now we need to use Lucene to search that index in order to find files that contain a specific piece of text. For instance, we may want to find all files that contain the keyword java or lucene, or we may want to find files that include the phrase "system requirements".
Using Searcher to implement a search
- The path to the index created with Indexer
- A query to use to search the index
Listing 1.2 Searcher: searches a Lucene index for a query passed as an argument.

Click here for a larger image.
Searcher, like its Indexer sibling, has only a few lines of code dealing with Lucene. A couple of special things occur in the search method,
Editor's note: The following numbered steps refer to the numbers in Listing 1.2.
- We use Lucene's IndexSearcher and FSDirectory classes to open our index for searching.
- We use QueryParser to parse a human-readable query into Lucene's Query class.
- Searching returns hits in the form of a Hits object.
- Note that the Hits object contains only references to the underlying documents. In other words, instead of being loaded immediately upon search, matches are loaded from the index in a lazy fashion—only when requested with the hits.doc(int) call.
Running Searcher
Let's run Searcher and find some documents in our index using the query 'lucene':
%java lia.meetlucene.Searcher build/index 'lucene'Found 6 document(s) (in 66 milliseconds) that matched query 'lucene':/lucene/README.txt/lucene/src/jsp/README.txt/lucene/BUILD.txt/lucene/todo.txt/lucene/LICENSE.txt/lucene/CHANGES.txt
The output shows that 6 of the 13 documents we indexed with Indexer contain the word lucene and that the search took a meager 66 milliseconds. Because Indexer stores files' absolute paths in the index, Searcher can print them out. It's worth noting that storing the file path as a field was our decision and appropriate in this case, but from Lucene's perspective it's arbitrary meta-data attached to indexed documents.Of course, you can use more sophisticated queries, such as 'lucene AND doug' or 'lucene AND NOT slow' or '+lucene +book', and so on. Chapters 3, 5, and 6 cover all different aspects of searching, including Lucene's query syntax.

The first edition of this website went online in 2006. Here I would like to present the third and latest version – perhaps the result of a seven year itch. The main change has been to refresh the layout of the site together with adding material to assist in finding out more about your ancestors. Therefore, the focus is on the Shetland Family Historian and to compliment the wonderful resources already available online.
In this version I have added "da Blog" - this will feature some of the research processes, links and example documents when trying to track Shetland Strays. Should you wish to contribute a short article to da Blog I will add it.
I am also going to add a number of links to YouTube videos. These have all been carefully reviewed and considered appropriate to add to the Shetland Family Historian experience.
Here is a 10 minute video developed and presented by visitshetland. I think this is a good video with good scenes and voice over. A glimpse of Shetland.
The first is the comprehensive online database run by Tony Gott. It has a collection of over 300,000 names and is continually growing. They are faithfully recorded and presented in searchable family trees. This is the Shetland Genealogist. The search facility is available at http://www.bayanne.info/Shetland/searchform.php
The second is the website developed and run by Janice Halcrow. Here, she has spent hours faithfully transcribing birth, marriage and death notices from Shetland newspapers. A great resource. A link to Shetland Newspapers Transcriptions
The third is the Shetland Museum and Archives. Now in a new building with excellent facilities to search many historical documents. A link to Shetland Museum and Archives http://www.shetland-museum.org.uk/
The fourth is the Shetland Family History Society with their premises at Hillhead, Lerwick. It maintains their own database of Shetland families, not online. The centre also houses a good collection of books, publications and documents that add to build interest to the family tree. A link to Shetland Family History Society
I was born in Shetland where my father worked at the Union Bank. He was also a member of the Shetland Territorials and went on active service when the war broke out. As a result we moved from Shetland when I was only 10 months old. My only return was in 2004, although I am in the process of planning a 2013 visit.
This website acts as my personal homepage when researching my Shetland Roots. Using it, I can quickly access those "can't remember the URL" resources.
