They say that history repeats itself. Egypt's second president, Gamal Abdel Nasser, was hailed as a hero after he headed the coup d'état that deposed King Farouk in 1952. He was also the country's first leader to defy Western colonial powers, thus enabling Egypt to become a secular independent state. While Nasser's popularity spread across the Arab world—especially because of his efforts to unite the Arab states to combat anti-Arab forces such as Israel—his vision of a socialist, secular Egypt under the ideology of pan-Arab nationalism could not be reconciled with the philosophy of the Muslim Brotherhood.
It was a situation that resembles Egypt's current political turmoil—up to a point. But the difference is that what remains in the hearts of Egyptians and others across the Arab world today are their memories of the policies of anti-imperialism, national dignity and social equality Nasser also established.
The well-known Egyptian film director Osman Abou Laban is currently making a historical TV drama series that will portray the relationship between Nasser and Field Marshal Abdel Hakim Amer. The two were involved in forming the Free Officers Movement that instigated the 1952 Egyptian revolution. Amer was one of the most powerful figures in Egyptian politics, and he was like a brother to Nasser in many respects.
THE MAJALLA: What inspired you to direct this program?
The political situation at the time has links to the current situation. There was a revolution, and a problem between the Muslim Brotherhood and the army, and we have the same problem today. Everyone was looking for a hero and leader and found one in Gamal Abdel Nasser, and now everyone is looking to Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi in the same way.
Q: Did you direct this program for personal reasons or did you have an audience in mind?
Let's agree on something. This is show business, so part of it is a show and part is a business. If it's not good for business then there is no program; if it's not a good show then it's a failure. We are trying show our audience from all the Arab countries a historic event in Egypt that is connected with Syria, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Palestine and Jordan—so it's uniting Arab countries over what happened in Egypt at that time. For me it's a great project to get into politically and artistically; it's a big challenge to do something historical, a big risk and responsibility, but I love this kind of pressure and work.
Q: Do you think that this program will create political conflict in Egypt once it is aired?
Of course. And not only in Egypt, because the destiny of Egypt is to be at the heart of the Arab world. It's in the middle of the region; it connects the old and new countries together. It's between Asia, Africa and Europe. I believe it will create big conflicts in the way the system works.
Q: How do you compare this project to your previous work? Does it feel any different?
Everything is different. I started my career as a photographer then moved into directing music videos and TV adverts and then started to do films. I also directed the show Al Mowaten X. It was translated into Italian, French and Spanish. I also directed [the film of] a novel called Vertigo, which has also been translated into a few languages. It is partially political. I like this type of challenge. It's human and it's political, just like Sadik Al-Omr, which is about two friends who lived their whole life together and at the end one died because of a political situation for which the other was responsible. They were both responsible for the defeat of the Arabs in the 1967 war, although I wouldn't say Egypt alone was defeated as a group of states were involved in that war.
Q: How did you get the idea for this show?
Mamdoh El-Leithy [a renowned Egyptian screenwriter who died earlier this month] wrote Al-Raees Wal-Moushir (The President and the Field Marshal), from which we got most of the ideas. This book has been around for seven years, yet so far no one has had the guts to grab it and produce it. I have a great producer, Ehab Talaat. We got together and decided to go ahead. It's a great political story and the timing is perfect. We sat with the scriptwriter and went through the project. We are preparing to film next month, for it to be aired during Ramadan.
Q: When did you get into directing and what was it that motivated you to do so?
As a photographer I love creating a good picture and story. Every time I took a photo I wanted to express something, it wouldn't be just a beautiful girl standing still. I wanted to create some kind of magic around the photo. This need steered me towards advertising, as it allowed me to do this. My ideas are out-of-the-box, which really helped my career to progress. I met a producer, Talib El-Kashef, and he needed an idea for a video clip and told me to go ahead and direct it. I had no experience before, so this was a big responsibility. I didn't know anything about directing. It got to number two in the hits at the time. I realized after this that I had to study directing. I studied filmmaking, producing and directing at the American Film Institute in the US. I came back to Egypt to do music videos for Mustafa Amar, Asala, Amer Mounib, Ehab Tawfik and a few other artists. So far, I've directed 35 to 40 video clips—but my videos were different and original, I had new ideas.
I wanted to take a step forward and it came with directing the movie Ahlam Omrena and a few others. Then I started Al Mowaton X and now Sadik Al-Omr.
Q: Do you prefer to make movies or TV series?
There is nothing like a movie, people have to pay money to get out of their homes and stay on a chair for two hours and watch my work. This is different to their watching from home where they can always change the channel; it has a different "taste." Both are interesting but I love cinema more.
Q: Who is your favorite actor or musician to work with?
Every time I work with an actor or musician I consider them my hero. I am responsible for them, so they have my whole heart. I can't prefer one over the other; I consider them my children. Every time I work with one of them I present them with a new story from my soul, so I can't really choose one over the other.
Q: Have you had any restrictions in the past when it comes to filming?
There are always lines that you should not cross and borders you have to keep within. If you are honest and not playing any games you can cross the lines without hurting anyone. It's all a matter of hurting yourself; you have to think really hard about how you will execute your work . . . how it will be seen and felt by your audience. It's better to set your own limits. That's what I do—it's about self-control.
Q: What advice can you give to future filmmakers?
Learn and keep on learning, as you cannot learn enough. I still take courses and go to workshops. And do what you really feel and need to do . . . get it out and express yourself. The audience wants you to make them laugh or cry; they want you to make them feel something and not just to see. This is how I approach every film, music video and program I direct.

Balancing temperatures in your home
Have a room that is too hot or too cold? Try these remedies.By James Dulley
Have a room that is too hot or too cold? Try these remedies.
Nearly every house has problems keeping all rooms evenly warmed or cooled. There are many reasons why various rooms do not stay warm or cool enough even though they have similar sized ducts. One common reason is the number and orientation of windows. South-facing windows can transmit much heat into a room, causing it to overheat during summer. North-facing windows, especially old leaky ones, can make a room chilly during winter. Both problems can be somewhat mitigated by installing new windows or insulating shades, but there will still be some variations.
The walls of the ducts, especially on sheet metal ducts, may be losing or gaining heat as the air makes its way from the furnace or central air conditioner to the rooms. Also, heating ducts are often located under windows. This positions them on cold or hot outside walls and takes space from the wall insulation thickness.
A simple method to check this is to hold a thermometer in the register outlet air flow in each room. If there is a significant difference in the temperature, wrap insulation around as much of the duct as you can reach. Where the duct runs vertically through a wall, there is not much you can do other than open the wall and install insulated ducts.
Long ducts
Another reason for uneven temperatures is not enough heated or cooled air is getting to problem rooms. As a rough evaluation, hold your hand over room outlet registers to compare air flow rates. If a room is far from the indoor blower, the duct creates more air flow resistance. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that longer ducts lose more heat through their walls. Longer ducts also have more joints that can leak heated or cooled air before it ever gets to the intended room.
Check the damper plates in the ducts near the furnace or air exchanger to be sure the ones leading to the problem rooms are not partially closed and blocking air flow. Try partially closing the dampers leading to the other rooms. This may force more heated or cooled air to the problem rooms. The settings of the duct dampers to each room will likely have to be changed from summer to winter because the heat gain or loss will vary.
Hang a thread from a stick and hold it near all the joints in the ducts to locate air leaks. Seal these leaks with tape or duct joint sealing compound. Don't just use cheap gray duct tape. It often comes loose in a year or two. Use either aluminum foil duct tape or black Gorilla duct tape. Gorilla tape is easier to apply and holds up for many years.
Don't forget to make sure the room register baffles are fully opened. Installing a deflector over the register can help direct heated or cooled air out into the room. This is particularly true with air-conditioning because cool air tends to hang near the floor. Move furniture so it is not blocking the air flow.
Installing a duct booster fan can help get more air flow to problem rooms. Duct booster fans are designed to fit into the ducts (round or rectangular) near the central blower. Some sense when the blower starts and come on automatically. Others have their own thermostat or can be connected to the main blower controls.
Register booster fans, which mount over the outlet register in a room, can also help. They are easier to install than a duct booster fan and provide more control over the room temperature. The register booster fan plugs into a standard wall electric outlet. It has its own thermostat so it comes on only when the main blower is running. The small fan motor uses only about 30 watts.

Frozen bonito. (Photo: Lameiro)
Friday, January 18, 2013, 23:50 (GMT + 9)
Azores Islands Government decided to release about 100 tonnes of bonito from Empresa Sociedad Corretora that were in a cold storage.
The tuna lot that was stored in the cold storage of Santa Maria will be delivered to the cannery through Lotaçor, so it can immediately continue its production process.
Corretora is expected to comply "with a payment plan approved by the region," Correio da Manhã informed.
Likewise, it is anticipated that Corretora will answer the most urgent orders that are pending and keep the "jobs", said the local executive.
Lotaçor explained that while fishing for tuna, canning companies acquire fish for the industry directly from regional shipowners through supply contracts entered into between the two parties, Lusa agency reported.
According to Lotaçor's chairman of the board, Jose Luis Amaral, "adding to the unloading, freezing and fish preserving costs," the company " plans to undertake fishermen Social Security, ship and at work accident insurance charges."
Finally, he stressed that it is "financially unsustainable" for Lotaçor to "maintain this social role alongside the fishing industry without, at least, the compliance or the prospect that the canneries will pay regularly."

New Study Highlights How Megaupload Took Down Over 10 Million Non-Infringing Files
from the seems-like-a-problem,-no? deptOne of the common arguments against file sharing and cyberlocker sites is that there's just so much infringement going on there. Of course, when people point out that there are many non-infringing uses, copyright maximalists dismiss this as either not being important, or being such a tiny part of those sites as to not matter. However, that's not the law. Under the Supreme Court's ruling in the Sony Betamax case, the court noted that if the device was merely "capable of substantial non-infringing uses," then it was legal.
The staple article of commerce doctrine must strike a balance between a copyright holder's legitimate demand for effective -- not merely symbolic -- protection of the statutory monopoly, and the rights of others freely to engage in substantially unrelated areas of commerce. Accordingly, the sale of copying equipment, like the sale of other articles of commerce, does not constitute contributory infringement if the product is widely used for legitimate, unobjectionable purposes. Indeed, it need merely be capable of substantial noninfringing uses.Furthermore, for those who argue about what "substantial" is, it's important to note that, in the early days, nearly all of the usage of these new forms of content recording and delivery were mostly for infringement. But that's due to the content industry's own slow nature to adopt these tools. Indeed, when the Betamax was found legal, less than 9% of uses were found to be non-infringing -- and that was deemed more than enough. Even the argument that all that other infringing use pulls people in was rejected in the Betamax lawsuit, where the court noted:
Unlike cameras, typewriters and Xerox machines, whose primary market is derived from non-infringing uses, there would be little, if any, market for VTRs if they could not be used for infringing purposes. Petitioners' unwillingness to devise a technological means of preventing copying of copyrighted works makes plain that without the ability to make unconsented copies of the copyrighted motion pictures owned by respondents and amici, there would be little if any market for VTRs.But they were still found to be legal.
Fast forward to today, and TorrentFreak points our attention to a new study looking at the substantial non-infringing uses of Megaupload, and finds that, as with the Betamax, even if there was wide infringement, not only was it "capable of substantial non-infringing uses," but it was widely used that way.
For Megaupload (MU) the researchers found that 31% of all uploads were infringing, while 4.3% of uploads were clearly legitimate. This means that with an estimated 250 million uploads, 10.75 million uploads were non-infringing. For the remaining 65% the copyrighted status was either unknown, or the raters couldn't reach consensus.Obviously, there are sample size issues here, and the fact that the majority of the files are "unknown" may be a limiting factor. But, at the very least, it appears that there were many, many, many legitimate uses of Megaupload, all shut down and destroyed without letting their owners get the data back, and without a trial to discuss those non-infringing uses, and whether or not the platform itself was legal.
Using the most conservative estimate the findings show that the Megaupload raid took down at least 10.75 million legitimate files. In addition, the researchers found that FileFactory had a highest percentage of non-infringing uploads (14%).

I have a goal of riding every named Rail-Trail in New York State. There are many more railbeds not used for trains anymore which are also ridable. They are usually unnamed, unsigned, and unpublished. I speculate that this is because the owner is either indifferent or away. I've ridden some of these but I'm more interested in getting the named trails ridden first.

Biomedical Sciences
Experiential Learning
A broad and demanding curriculum is the foundation for the career areas supported by the Biomedical Sciences program—yet all of these also require some element of "learning outside of the classroom." Hands-on, experiential learning allows students to explore new areas, solidify career goals and also to acquire critical extracurricular credentials that will increase the competitiveness of graduate/medical school applications, and significantly increase employment options. To that end, we strongly encourage our undergraduate students to actively seek out new experiences and to expand their expertise to areas outside of the traditional classroom.
There is a great diversity of extracurricular opportunity available to students in the Biomedical Sciences program, and a core aspect of career advising is to make students aware of "resume building" activities. These may include paid employment on campus, study abroad, volunteer work and community service, K-12 outreach and enrichment, professional "shadowing" and career-relevant employment, on-campus undergraduate research and summer research internships, and other paid cooperative learning programs. Students receive collaborative advising from faculty and staff in order to systematically build towards their own career goals. In addition, the RIT alliance with Rochester Regional Health had opened up new opportunities for undergraduate research and clinical experiences; these will continue to increase in the near future.
The following websites give a good example of useful resources for finding summer internships;

To amplify Mark's remark a bit -- linux in general already has many fairly powerful tools for DOING monitoring, updates, and so on. For example, one can use e.g. yum, kickstart, apt, and more to install a "canned" node configuration and keep it up to date. It is so totally automatic that there is basically no need to "check for inconsistencies" on a node. Warewulf and several other tools also permit one to have rigorous control over node configuration. Nodes tend to be very slowly varying in configuration. If they are firewalled (so update streams aren't an issue) and used for a very few computations built on top of the standard libraries, they might well be installed and NEVER change until they are turned off four or five years later. Or they might be updated nightly by yum (not changing their basic package configuration) and upgraded once in mid-life (not changing their basic package configuration). So configuration management is, as Mark says, not something that is worth the time to automate beyond the substantial automation already present in rpm or debian update mechanisms. Even if (say) one's nodes were installed without the GSL libraries and somebody wanted an application that used them, it would usually be a matter of a single command into e.g. a parallel shell or adding a file to a list of packages to be caught by the automatic nightly yum update and waiting a day and poof, it would be there. "Policy" control is a somewhat different issue, as it means different things to different people. On many clusters, resource allocation and policy is set by the cluster owner telling his or her minions who gets to run on what. On others, it is managed by batch management tools, e.g. SGE or OpenPBS or whatever, which allows some degree of software control over who runs what where and when. For really fine grained "policy control" there is Condor, which actually started its existence as a policy/resource management tool more than anything else. The biggest hassle associated with any of these tools is that they tend to be complex. Policy/resource control is intrinsically complex, especially if one has rules like "I want my sub-cluster instantly available from 8 am to 8 pm, but other people can access it all night for their long running jobs, except for holidays and lunch hour when I also don't care who uses it". So people don't tend to use them unless they must, but if you need them, you need them. Fortunately they are there to be used. Monitoring tools abound, of course, ranging from things like syslog-ng for centralized monitoring/logging of LAN systems activity to nightly system summary scripts that report on how many IP addresses tried to crack your systems and what your summary disk usage and so on are (admin controllable, of course). For people more interested in monitoring cluster state from the system and network load point of view, there are ganglion and wulfware and bproc (and probably other tools as well). With them one can see at a glance what the load is on all the nodes in the cluster, what the network is doing, whether or not the nodes are swapping or paging, whether or not a node rebooted unexpectedly in the middle of the night, and what jobs all the nodes are actually running. Is there something else one needs to do? Well, most cluster admins tend to be fairly skilled linux administrators and good at shell script magic or even real programming. So if one has an edge-case need that isn't directly met by one of the available tools, it is usually a fairly simple matter to hack out a script to accomplish it. Since scripting languages like perl got threads, one can actually fairly easily write a perl script that can initiate and control a complete distributed application that for example runs through a list of nodes by name or IP number, forks off a thread for each and runs an ssh command to each of them, collects the returns, and does whatever with them. Obviously such a control program can be as complex as you like, and do whatever you like, and run as often as you like. So if you really want to know exactly what user frobnitz is doing at a granularity of one minute (suspecting that he's sneaking in and running his jobs when he isn't supposed to) it isn't too difficult to distribute a sleep/loop of ps aux | grep frobnitz and collectivize the results on a control node where you can look them over later. Although most of us would solve such a problem by going down to frobnitz's office with a sucker rod in hand and tap it gently on top of his or her head while pointing out that individuals who sneak in jobs when they aren't supposed to will be firmly schooled...;-) rgb > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit > http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > -- Robert G.

The city of Costa Mesa has installed a number of planters in my neighborhood on Broadway. They consist of islands out in the street where traffic flows. Some are near the curb, others are in the middle. Each is surrounded by concrete curbing similar to that which borders the street, and each is supplied with irrigation water from a nearby valve box in the parking median. There are a total of about 36, and I guess the cost is around $100,000.
The planters are traffic hazards. The ones in the middle of the street narrow the lane, leaving little margin for moving vehicles. The ones at the corners force drivers to swing close to the opposite lane when turning onto and off of Broadway. The planters not only force drivers into unsafe paths, they are hazards in their own right. Each is a collision waiting to happen.
After construction was completed, the planters, nearly invisible at night, were left unmarked. I pointed out the danger to the city, and to the city's credit, sawhorses with flashing lights were quickly placed around each island.
The thinking behind this project is difficult to fathom. But the city traffic engineering department has a long history of proposing projects that impede traffic flow instead of facilitating it (and that we citizens have had to fight off), so it's not all that surprising.
It should be obvious that the planters need to be removed, and quickly, before accidents happen. The project came to a standstill as soon as the planters were completed and it became obvious what had been done, so hopefully their removal is in the works. It's ironic that the planter project description includes the words "safe route to schools" when the planters make Broadway decidedly unsafe.

Minnesota Man Says He Fired More Shots Than Needed
LITTLE FALLS, Minn. (AP) - Authorities say a Minnesota man admits firing more shots than necessary at two teenagers he said had broken into his home. He's charged with murder in the shooting deaths of the 18-year-old girl and 17-year-old boy, who was the girl's cousin.
They were shot on Thanksgiving Day, but their deaths weren't reported until the next day.
Byron Smith of Little Falls told authorities he feared they had a weapon. Smith acknowledged in a criminal complaint that he fired "more shots than (he) needed to." Smith also described "a good clean finishing shot" for one teen.
According to a criminal complaint, Smith said he was in the basement of his home when he heard a window breaking, followed by footsteps. He said he fired when the boy came into view, and the wounded teen fell down the stairs. He said he then shot the 17-year-old in the face as he lay on the floor.
When the 18-year-old then began coming down the stairs, Smith said, he shot her and she also fell down the steps. He told police he tried to shoot her again, but that the gun jammed and that she laughed at him, so he shot her several more times with another gun.
The following day, according to the complaint, he asked a neighbor to recommend a good lawyer.
Minnesota law lets a homeowner use deadly force on an intruder if a reasonable person would fear they're in danger of harm. Smith told investigators he was afraid the intruder might have a weapon.

The more i learn about programming the more i think software blueprints (to avoid saying design) are created rather than designed, and that deep down this is a discussion of science vs art. For example, to many the 5 measurable attributes you specify come under the subjective value of beauty, people will quickly decide if they personally like an API or not, and that is likely to determine how useful it is. If you do find any references on measuring an API (or a design) i would love to read them. Glenn

Ohio to execute child killer after denying request to donate organs
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio is moving forward with preparations for the execution of a condemned child killer after denying the man's last-minute request to donate organs to his ailing mother and sister before he dies.
Required security precautions in the days leading up to Thursday's execution were among reasons that prisons officials cited in rejecting 40-year-old Ronald Phillips' request this week to give a kidney and his heart to family members.
Phillips has said through his attorneys that the request was not a delay tactic, but rather an attempt to make a final gesture for good.
Prison officials scrambled to review Phillips' request, which they called unprecedented, but ultimately could not figure out a way to accommodate it, according to a letter sent Tuesday. Moving Phillips to and from an offsite hospital was among issues that would pose significant security risks so close to his scheduled death.
Phillips is scheduled to die by an injection of a sedative and painkiller that has never been used in a U.S. execution.
The prisons department is leaving it up to Phillips' family whether his organs are harvested after his death — though it is unclear whether they would be viable when Phillips' body is turned over to his family.
Spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said the prisons department "has reviewed the options and has determined that the department is not equipped to facilitate organ donation pre- or post-execution." Prisons officials consider the matter to be private among Phillips, his family and his attorneys, she said.
Another factor in the department's decision was the fact that Phillips had never requested to donate his organs earlier, despite the option being available under prison medical policy.
Phillips was sentenced to die for the rape and death of his girlfriend's 3-year-old daughter in Akron in 1993. Ohio Gov. John Kasich rejected his request for mercy last week and all his appeals have been dropped.
Tim Sweeney, his Cleveland attorney, said Phillips didn't propose donating his organs earlier because he was hopeful his case would go another way.
"He's been very reflective and prayerful over the last several weeks. I think he was very hopeful that he was going to be granted clemency and/or get relief from the court, so this never really had to come to a head," Sweeney said. "The disappointment on those fronts made this obviously more relevant."
His lawyers told the state that Phillips' mother has kidney disease and is on dialysis and his sister has a heart condition.

For the "evidence" on my layout I chose to use the stacked elements challenge and stacked my punched circles, and for shiny things, added in the shiny silver stars. My "testimony" uses the write a six-word memoir option, and I used Tiny Dancer as my title for the use a song title to inspire the journaling. The "scheme" was easy using Echo Parks Style Essentials Upscale and Runway collections. A perfect mix of pinks and grays!! Head over to C.S.I. for more inspiration and play along too, this challenge is open until April 29.

Since the commercial rollout of Round-Up Ready alfalfa in August 2005, a survey by the University of Wisconsin comparing conventional products with Roundup Ready varieties yielded a one-ton yield advantage (per acre) with Roundup Ready alfalfa.
"That's probably on the high side of what we're seeing. I would say the normal range is one-third ton to a one ton average increase across the country," said Mark McCaslin, president of the Nampa, Idaho-based Forage Genetics International.
McCaslin knows Roundup Ready alfalfa. Forage Genetics is heavily involved in developing the technology's next chapter - a new generation of traits aimed at improving alfalfa value.
Forage Genetics, along with the U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center, and the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, launched a research venture called the Consortium for Alfalfa Improvement (CAI).
During the Western Alfalfa and Forage Conference in Reno, Nev., in mid-December, McCaslin explained the group's findings. He said new biotech traits research falls into two categories: output traits that enhance forage quality and input traits that improve the efficiency of crop production.
Formed in 2004, the CAI has explored two areas of alfalfa improvement: improved fiber digestibility and the increased efficiency of protein.
"Alfalfa is an important source of fiber in most dairy rations," McCaslin noted. "Lignin is an anti-quality compound in alfalfa cell walls that increases with advanced plant maturity and reduces the digestibility of alfalfa fiber. There are various biotech tools that can be used to turn off or silence the native genes."
Transgenic plants
Tools developed at the Noble Foundation have systematically shut down genes that code enzymes required for lignin synthesis in alfalfa. Meanwhile, the CAI scientists are evaluating transgenic plants with a reduced expression of lignin biosynthetic genes. While most transgenic plants contain reduced lignin content, McCaslin said most vary in lignin composition. Most transgenic plants have increased fiber digestibility, but agronomic performance varies greatly by transgene.
"Based on many lab and field studies conducted since 2000, we have learned transgenic plants with reduced expression of the fiber enzymes COMT and CCOMT have less lignin, improved fiber digestibility, and worth agronomic performance," said McCaslin. Top alfalfa populations with the COMT or CCOMT transgene have been developed.
He said research hay in 2007 will be produced where the CAI dairy and sheep feeding studies should confirm improved animal digestibility of the reduced lignin alfalfa plants. Successful results would project the project into the development mode.
Reduced lignin alfalfa could offer growers a new genetic tool featuring increased harvest management flexibility plus increased forage quality and/or yield.
"By changing one gene, we're seeing a 10-15 percent increase in fiber digestibility. This is revolutionary in terms of a new genetic pool making significant quality improvements in alfalfa quality," McCaslin noted.
Main challenge
The most important challenge in alfalfa to increase value is higher protein utilization. While alfalfa provides the most protein per acre of any U.S. crop, the protein is not efficiently utilized in dairy cows. The loss leads to increased nitrogen losses to the environment and supplemental protein feeding.
The alfalfa protein problem is due to post-harvest proteolysis (haylage) and the fast decline of protein in rumen (hay and haylage). The CAI is exploring two solutions: polyphenol oxidase (PPO) alfalfa and tannin alfalfa.
"Tannin alfalfa looks extremely promising. Alfalfa actually produces tannin in the seed coat but not in leafs and stems. We have model systems in forage that indicate if you produce tannins you get benefits." He said a tannin solution could eliminate the need for protein supplements, a $1 billion cost to the dairy industry annually. "We want to capture the protein in the alfalfa plant versus having that paid out in supplements."
McCaslin cited findings from the Dairy Forage Center stating that tannin alfalfa would reduce the need for protein supplements by 60 percent and yield up to a 12 percent net return to dairies.
McCaslin said a wide range of groups and institutions are focusing on improving crop performance traits. So far hundreds of value-added possibilities have been developed.
While more than half of the nation's alfalfa is grown with irrigation in dry areas of the country, transgenes with higher water use efficiency and drought tolerance are under the microscope. Working with Monsanto, Forage Genetics will test several potential drought resistance transgenic alfalfa plants in '07.
"We're focusing on drought tolerance, water use efficiency, increased biomass, and delayed flowering. Currently when alfalfa flowers, the rate of vegetative growth slows down so the yield accumulation slows down. Quality also decreases," McCaslin said.
Genes for increased biomass or delayed flowering offer an exciting potential for alfalfa. Several such genes are now being inserted into alfalfa and offer a great opportunity to significantly increase the forage yield in alfalfa.

The Tech Behind Flooring
When you think of technology in the home, flooring is probably not the first thing you think of. Flooring is, well, flooring. It doesn't have buttons or flashy lights. You can't talk to it, and it won't automatically adjust the temperature of your house based on your habits. But, that doesn't mean technology hasn't played an enormous role in the flooring products offered today. Each year, flooring gets better, stronger, softer and more durable. New materials and manufacturing technology are responsible for the wide variety of beautiful, durable floors available today. Here's a look at some of the attributes you can now find in flooring – no matter what your style – thanks to technology.
Gone are the days of worrying that a missed spill could ruin your floors forever. You can now find both hard surface and soft surface flooring options that are waterproof. That means the product itself will not absorb or be damaged by water. Waterproof carpet resists water (and liquid stains) and won't let those pesky spills seep through to the carpet pad and subfloor. This is a game-changer for households with pets. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) products are made of a material that is completely waterproof and they are available in textures so realistic, you'll hardly be able to tell it's not hardwood or ceramic tile.
If carpet is what you're looking for, you probably love the feel of something soft underfoot. Whether you have kids playing on the floor, love to walk around barefoot or just want a soft place to sit during movie night, you'll be pleased to hear that carpet is now softer than ever. With finer, smoother fibers, the finished product feels soft and silky to the touch. But soft doesn't mean weak. These carpets are just as stain resistant and strong as their less soft counterparts.
From carpet to hardwood and everything in between, flooring today is ready to take what life has to throw at it. It's not uncommon to see carpet with warranties of 15 years or more and hardwood with warranties over 25 years. This is all due to materials and finishes that truly stand the test of time. Scratch-resistant finishes on hardwood are great for standing up to pet scratches or those house guests who refuse to take their shoes off.
Stains, especially on carpet, are a worry of most homeowners. With stain-resistant products, that worry can disappear. Even if you don't have kids or pets in the home, spills and stains are bound to happen occasionally. Fibers that don't absorb stains are easy to clean no matter how quickly you rush to rescue your carpet from a spill.

If nothing else, Ultima's approach to supercars — strapping a 720-hp Chevrolet V8 to a frame weighing as much as a sparrow's breakfast — is at least good for breaking speed records. The company's new GTR750 recently added the standing quarter-mile to the list of things it does faster than any other road-legal car. One of the models recently clocked 9.9 seconds at — hold on to your pea soup — 143 mph, clad in road tires. It was at the Santa Pod Raceway at Northamptonshire, Blighty where the FIA approved the speed trial, but it's in Italy where someone who overpaid for a supercar that runs every second Tuesday is weeping.

I don't see Cornell doing anything which cannot easily be done on alternative setups, so they have equivalent power. "scalability", I understand. so in what way are Windows-based clusters more scalable? a correct answer must define which resources limit the scaling of non-Windows clusters, and how Windows clusters avoid that limit. power and scalability are well-defined technical terms, not buzzwords that marketing types can just emit around at random. > Yes, Windows > clusters can run traditional MPI and PVM applications, but also commercial > applications like this that have native support running on Windows > clusters. I'm not sure anything in that paper counts as "native"; yes, SAS and Cornell did some work to adapt their code to Windows clusters, but I see no signs of Microsoft contributing anything other than standard infrastructure like sockets and DNS.

There's also a "latency" policy which uses as few sockets as possible (to optimize for shared cache usage). These automatic policies will take into account processes running on the node that already have their affinity set (MPI jobs or not). The policy type (bandwidth vs. latency) is of course user controllable (who are we to say how your application performs best :) ) Anyways, enough "marketing" for now I guess. Bottom line is that having the right type of processor affinity control mechanisms have proven to be key to getting good application performance (but y'all knew that already I guess..). One thing that we've seen is that when you have these quadcore/dualsocket machines, your total job throughput is somewhat higher if you use half the cores per job, but twice the jobs (i.e like my example above). I don't yet have any good explanation for this though, but you'd probably like to discuss it :) Cheers, Steffen Persvold Chief Software Architect - Scali MPI Connect http://www.scali.com/ Higher Performance Computing

Introduction to Property Taxes
In Minnesota, real estate property taxes account for approximately one third of the State and Local taxes. Real estate property taxes, in part, pay for services needed to fulfill the City's mission including; the fire and police departments, street construction and maintenance as well as water and sewer.
Hennepin County collects property taxes and distributes the money to various local government entities including the city, county, school district and special districts like Metro Transit.

Why are properties assessed?
Properties are assessed to determine what share of the taxes each property will be required to pay. The specific dollar amount is determined according to the properties value, property classification (use) and property tax levies. Assessors are responsible for estimating property values and setting classification for tax purposes. In Minneapolis, the City Assessor's Office is responsible for determining property assessments.
What is an assessment?
An assessment is the accurate and equitable valuing and classifying of real estate property or parcels within the City of Minneapolis, to determine the real estate property's market value and thus establishing the City's tax base.
Valuing a property requires that assessors view each property and research local market conditions to appraise market value. Property values change continuously based on a number of factors, most of which are changing economic conditions or a physical change to the land or building. The property values are set at 100% of market value as determined by annual State Department of Revenue sale surveys. Per Minnesota statute, all property is valued each year and is inspected at least once every five years.
Classification refers to how a property is used. Examples of property classifications are: residential homestead, residential non-homestead, seasonal recreational, commercial, exempt, apartment, industrial, utility, etc. If a property is not currently being used, it is classified according to its most probable, highest and best use.
The City of Minneapolis Assessors would be happy to explain to property owners how the market value of their property was determined, and also explain the avenues of appeal if a property owner disagrees with the assessment.
How does my property value affect my property taxes?
Two major pieces of information affect the calculation of your property taxes. The first is the value of your property and how it relates to the total value of all property in the City of Minneapolis. The second is the total tax bill for all units of local government.
Here is a brief explanation of how the property tax system works. The City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minneapolis School District and other taxing authorities set their annual budgets. Next they determine how much of their budget they can get from sources other than tax levies, the rest of the money they need for their budget or tax levy will need to come from property taxes. The tax levy is the amount of money that must be collected from real estate property taxes to operate all the local government programs and services each year.
Your share of the total property tax dollars needed is determined by the market value and classification of your property, which result in a calculation of your share of the needed dollars or your tax capacity.
The needed property tax revenue (tax levy) is divided by your property's tax capacity. The result is a set of mathematical calculations (tax rate) taking into consideration each taxing authorities need and any legal limits. The tax rate is used to spread the tax levy equally among all properties in the local government's area. It is the result of dividing the taxable value by the tax levy so that the levy is spread across each individual, taxable parcel.
The Minnesota Center for Fiscal Excellence, formerly known as the Minnesota Tax Foundation, a non-profit, non-partisan group publishes a detailed annual booklet Understanding Your Property Taxes. It is a good summary that goes into a much more detailed description of the process.
What causes my property taxes to go up?
These factors can affect your property taxes.
- Market value. Loss in total tax base by other property types within its taxing jurisdiction. A significant change in taxable value "shifts" the tax burden to other properties within its jurisdiction. Increases in a property's taxable market value that is greater than the median increase for that property's classification.
- Local government levies. Each year, local government entities in Hennepin County (Minneapolis, Hennepin County, the Minneapolis School District, etc.) decide on a budget amount for the following year and how much of that budget will come from property owners in the form of property taxes. Each taxing entity charges, or levies, an amount that is spread over the tax base for that taxing entity.
- Special taxing districts. Besides local governments, other special taxing authorities have the power to raise operating revenue through the property tax. In Hennepin County, these special taxing districts could include the Metropolitan Council, the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District, or a local watershed.
- Referenda. Voters in Minneapolis might have approved a property tax increase to buy land dedicated to future city parks, fire stations, libraries or other municipal buildings. Voters in a school district might approve a ballot question in an election and vote to increase their property taxes in order to provide more funds to schools for operational costs, or to the school district to build more schools.
What causes my property taxes to go down?
These factors can affect your property taxes.
- Market value and Classification. A decrease in the value or change in the classification to one with a lower tax rate.
- Local government levies. If spending at the local government level is reduced, and less money is needed from taxpayers to provide programs and services, property taxes might be reduced.
- Referenda. When a property tax increase due to a voter-approved referendum expires, and it has not been renewed, property taxes might decrease.
- LGA or Local Government Aid. This is a payment from the State of Minnesota to cities and counties that help "buy down" property taxes. However, to help balance the State's budget the amount of this LGA was cut considerably in 2003, which caused an increase in property taxes for many cities and counties. LGA will also be cut considerably in 2009. If the amount of LGA increases, property taxes might decrease.
How can my property taxes go up more than my property value?
There are at least two situations in which this can happen. First, if the total value of all of the property in the City goes down and the value of your property stays the same, the tax rate will be higher for all properties and your relative share of the taxes will go up.
Second, if your property value stays the same, and the total value of all of the property in the City stays the same, but the amount of needed tax dollars divided between those properties goes up, then your relative share of the taxes will go up.
Are there any limits on how much my property taxes can go up?
Residential property benefited from the Limited Market Value (LMV) Minnesota Statute between 1993 and 2008. It was designed to protect property owners from large jumps in property taxes from year to year that are a result of valuation increases due to a particularly healthy real estate market. LMV limited the percentage increase allowable in a single year. State law requires the establishment of property values that are very close to a property's actual market value. While LMV was in effect the "correct" or accurate market value stayed in the assessor's records and would eventually catch up with the property when the real estate market settled into a slower growth pattern in property values.
For more information about limited market value, read the MN House of Representatives' Research Office explanation. For all other property types, there was no limit on the amount property taxes can go up.
Are there any options to reduce the amount of property taxes I pay?
Credits: Certain types of property - including most residential property - qualify for property tax credits, which reduce the amount of tax that would otherwise be due. In the City of Minneapolis, the homestead credit, special homestead credits for property owners who are disabled, blind or for senior residents and other programs may help reduce the amount of taxes due each year. Learn more about tax relief programs.
M1PR - Homeowner's Property Tax Refund: This program won't lower your property taxes, but may mean you can receive a refund from the state of Minnesota if your income is low relative to your property taxes. The property tax refund program provides a refund to property owners who meet certain financial guidelines.
The special property tax refund program: This offers relief to property owners, regardless of income, whose taxes go up more than 12 percent and at least $100 from one year to the next. The state will refund 60 percent of any amounts paid beyond those limits, up to a maximum of $1,000.
For more information on property tax refunds, rebates, and credits, see the Minnesota Department of Revenue's website or call 651-296-3781; TDD 651-297-2196. Taxpayers must complete a form available from the state Revenue Department called the Schedule M-1PR.

Why does county, city, and school district spending change so much?
That question does not have a simple answer. There are several reasons that spending changes. Here are some possible reasons:
- Changes to government spending and local government aid over the past several years
- An increased demand for government services have resulted in increased costs and necessitated changes.
- Changes in the classification rate for commercial, industrial and apartment properties that resulted in shifting the tax burden to residential properties.
The budget documents of the county, city, school district provide a detailed breakdown of expenses from year to year. These are public documents and are available for your review.
See the City of Minneapolis Budget.
I thought that the State was paying the School Property Tax portion of my bill beginning in 2002?
The property tax reform that passed in the 2001 Legislative Session has the State paying for the base education levy that totals $900 million statewide. The State is paying the City of Minneapolis over $100 million to cover the cost of state mandated education. However the school portion of the property tax includes both the base levy and other items. For property taxes payable in 2001, the Minneapolis school tax rate was 52.157%; for taxes payable in 2002 it was 32.863%; thus, the school portion of your property taxes was reduced by 37%, not 100%.
I read that the Tax Reform would result in a tax decrease, yet my taxes went up (or stayed the same).
Tax reform created many changes in the property classification rates. Compared with other property types:
- Lower valued residential properties did not benefit as much as higher value properties and other property types. Net results show that some residential properties end up with a tax increase.
- It was predicted that a reduction in residential homestead properties' effective tax rate (the net tax payable divided by the market value) would decline from 1.35% to 1.05%, according to analysis by the House Research and the Minnesota Taxpayer's Association after the 2001 Tax Reform was passed. Generally speaking, the estimates that were initially made predicted more tax relief than actually occurred.
The method of distributing the property tax burden is decided by the State Legislature. For example, a lower valued home may have a tax increase while a higher value property receives a decrease, even though both of them had a value increase of the full 15.0% under the limited market value law. Many of these changes are a function of the changes in classification rates.
Property taxes have a fluid nature so when one property type receives a larger tax break than another property type, it results in taxes shifting, not tax elimination. The impact on Minneapolis homeowners from the property tax reform has resulted in a tax shift from commercial properties to homeowners. Some of the reasons for this are:
- The class rate changes benefited commercial and industrial property (declines of 37.5% and 41.1% in the two class rate tiers) as compared to residential property (declines of 0%, 39.9% and 24.2% in the three tax rate tiers). Apartment class rates were reduced in phases with an ultimate 47.9% decrease in their class rate. The commercial/industrial property class rate changes are partially offset by the new state property tax imposed on this property type.
- Independent of the class rate changes are changes in market conditions that have occurred over the past +/- three years with commercial property values, specifically offices. The weak economy and migration of several large corporations from multi tenant, investor owned buildings (such as the IDS building) into their own buildings (such as the new Target campus downtown) has resulted in lower values for office buildings. The central business district paid +/- 40% of the city's taxes prior to 2001 Tax reform and the weak market conditions, it now pays +/- 33% of the taxes.
- In 1997, residential property paid 33% of the city's tax burden while commercial/industrial property paid 56%. With the phase out of limited market value and class rate changes made by the State Legislature, this amount will be nearly reversed for taxes payable in 2007 (55% of the tax burden paid by residential and 35% by commercial/industrial).

India's Glenmark Gets Arbitrator Nod to Sell HIV-Associated Diarrhea Drug
September 4, 2012
Adapted from:
The International Center for Dispute Resolution has ruled that India's Glenmark Pharmaceuticals has the right to sell Crofelemer, its drug for HIV-associated diarrhea, in 140 countries. The medication was developed by Glenmark with U.S.-based partners Napo Pharmaceuticals and Salix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Glenmark sought arbitration in the United States in December, after Napo terminated a three-party agreement that gave Glenmark exclusive distribution rights for Crofelemer in India and 139 other nations. In a statement, Glenmark said the ICDR found that Napo breached the agreement by revealing confidential information about manufacturing Crofelemer to Aptuit Laurus, another drugmaker. Glenn Saldanha, Glenmark's chair, said the ruling will permit the company "to further its commitment to working with relief agencies to distribute Crofelemer to affected populations."

BDSM is really big in New York, at least according to some YouPorn number-crunching, which might initially sound like a category of porn with digitally-animated numbers locked in suggestive embraces (I'm thinking of something involving 5 and 7, and I don't need to tell you how absolutely filthy such a fantasy would be). It seems that ever since Fifty Shades of Grey unleashed its Nobel-winning prose on the world in April, New Yorkers have been dabbling in BDSM-related porn on the internets, with 82 percent of YouPorn searches based around the word "domination." Runners-up included "sex slave" (78.96 percent), "master" (71.91 percent), "sadism" (71.81 percent) and, a little further down the list, "wax" (54.07 percent).
What's more, while BDSM-related searches, er, swelled 67 percent nationwide between April and June, in New York, that number increased by almost 90 percent. This is because, obviously, New York (Manhattan, really), is a giant Panopticon that people willingly incarcerate themselves in and, as a result, they're numb to everything except physical and emotional pain.

Driver describes fatal Illinois Megabus crash
CHICAGO (AP) - The 25-year-old driver who was at the wheel during a fatal Megabus crash in south-central Illinois says he did everything he could to control the double-decker after a tire blew out.
"When I heard the tire pop, I immediately grabbed hold extra tight to the steering wheel and let go of the accelerator. But I did not apply the brakes because I knew at highway speed it likely would have caused the bus to roll over," Preston Taylor told the Chicago Tribune (http://trib.in/QWP5il ) on Wednesday.
The disabled bus didn't react to attempts to steer it, Taylor said. It struck a bridge pillar along Interstate 55 near Litchfield on Aug. 2, killing one passenger and injuring nearly four dozen others.
"I felt the heavy load on the bus, and the wheels would not turn. I was driving at 55 mph in the middle lane. When the tire blew, the bus veered into the left lane. I just held onto the steering wheel as tightly as I could and tried to keep it under control," Taylor said. "But unfortunately, it went into the ditch."
Taylor, who lives in the Chicago suburb of Harvey, suffered a facial fracture and Achilles tendon damage from flying glass. He says he's undergone three surgeries and is scheduled for one more plus a skin graft.
Taylor used to drive a school bus and began working for Megabus in July. He was still in training when the accident happened and had a trainer riding with him. But Taylor told the Tribune that the trainer "really didn't get a chance to say anything to me" because the accident started so quickly.
An Illinois State Police crash report released Wednesday confirms the accident began when the front driver's-side tire blew out. The bus struck a guardrail and rammed directly into a concrete bridge support pillar. The crash remains under investigation.
Taylor has a clean driving record, authorities said. According to the accident report, he was issued two citations for administrative issues unrelated to the accident. One citation was for failing to keep his driver's logbook current, and the other was for "an incorrect sticker."
