The Secure Socket Layer security feature protects sensitive information (such as credit card information, passwords, SS numbers, etc.) from falling into the hands of an unauthorized third party that might be sniffing the packets as it travels the Internet.
Below are some standards that most MySQL servers using phpMyAdmin should offer to their hosting customers:
1. An SSL-protected phpMyAdmin login page. Not all hosting companies can offer this. If you are entering your MySQL username and passwords into a non-SSL supported phpMyAdmin page, then this sensitive information will travel through the Internet in "clear text format." If someone sniffs your traffic/packets, your MySQL login information could be compromised.
Make sure that you see https:// in the address bar of your browser when you are about to log into your MySQL database using phpMyAdmin.
2. SSL protected sessions. Once you are logged in to your MySQL database, you can then start working on it to create database tables, entering database records. It is also important that these sessions be encrypted, because you might be dealing with sensitive information.
What if your web hosting company fails to deliver SSL protected MySQL sessions and log-in? This is where you can use SSH in MySQL. This tutorial will teach you how you can work with your MySQL database in an SSH environment.
SSH (Secure Shell) – Alternative to SSL
SSH is an encrypted protocol much like SSL. This is one of the standard ways of connecting and encrypting communications to a remote server. The remote server can be your FTP hosting server or MySQL server.
However, SSH is commonly used by webmasters to connect and transfer files between your FTP server "encrypted." One rare application is to use SSH when connecting and engaging in sessions with your MySQL server.
This means that you can engage in a variety of tasks in a SSH environment that offers encryption. These include:
- Connecting to your MySQL server
- Creating a database
- Creating a table
- Inserting records
- Selecting, updating and deleting records
{mospagebreak title=Connecting to MySQL Server using the Putty SSH Client}
Let's start with the very basic: connecting to your MySQL server using SSH. When you connect using SSH, you need a client. One of the most recommended SSH client is Putty.
This works for Windows. If you use Linux, Putty will run using the same set of SSH commands, but with a different installer (using its Linux version).
It is very important that you make sure you have SSH enabled for your website hosting. If you do not, then you will never be able to communicate with your MySQL server in SSH.
To connect to your MySQL server:
Step 1: Launch Putty.
Step 2: In the Putty Configuration, you will need to basically enter the following required information:
Host Name: {hostname of your FTP server, NOT MySQL server}
Port: {the port required to connect to SSH; some hosting companies may NOT use the default port 22, so you need to check with them}.
Connection Type: SSH
Step 3: Once all are set, click "Open."
Step 4: You are then required to enter your SSH user name (this is still NOT your MySQL user name). You can get your SSH access from your web host.
Step 5: Once you have entered your user name, Putty will ask you to enter your password, which you will need to type blindly.
Step 6: Your connection with your hosting SSH server is successful if you do not see password warning errors, and you do see the SSH prompt (example):
This prompt is different on other web hosting companies offering SSH, but it should end with $ sign.
Step 7: In the prompt, you enter you MySQL login credentials. For example, if you have the following fictitious login:
MySQL hostname: pdb3.alienwebhosting.com
MySQL username: codexm
MySQL password: interstellarguy
You will enter it in the prompt as:
-bash-2.06b$ mysql -hpdb3.alienwebhosting.com -ucodexm -pinterstellarguy
The red bolded words in the syntax are the MySQL login details. The syntax for the MySQL command line login is:
-bash-2.06b$ mysql -hHOSTNAME -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD
Step 8. If you see the MySQL command prompt after entering the login details in Step 7:
Then you have successfully logged in and connected to your MySQL server using SSH.
{mospagebreak title=Basic MySQL Database and Table Commands in SSH}
After logging in, below you will find the important commands that you should know (bolded words are the exact commands, while the part that is not bolded is the MySQL prompt):
1. Showing all MySQL databases in your server
mysql> show databases;
2. Access the database and use it:
mysql> use databasename;
For example, if your MySQL database name is moviedatabase then:
mysql> use moviedatabase;
3. Showing all the MySQL tables for the specified database name:
mysql> show tables from databasename;
4. Show all of the records from a specified table
mysql> select * from databasetablename;
To view the entire records of a specified table, you should ensure that:
- You have selected the database to work using USE command.
- You know the exact database table name; if not, execute the "SHOW TABLES from databasename;" command to get the list of tables.
5. Show all of the database table field names, type and configuration of a certain table:
mysql> describe databasetablename;
Before you try to view database table specifics like its configuration, make sure that you have selected a database using the USE command.
6. Exiting the MySQL server
mysql> exit
{mospagebreak title=Creating a New MySQL Table and Configuration}
Aside from manipulating a MySQL database using the basic commands outlined earlier, you can also create new MySQL tables and their associated fields in an SSH environment. For example, suppose you are told to create the following MySQL database table in an existing database codex:
Database name: codex
Database table name: codexmovies
Database field names:
- movieid ? type: int(10), Unsigned, NOT NULL, Auto-Increment
- movietitle ? type: varchar(100) NOT NULL default ' '
- moviegenre ? type: varchar(100) NOT NULL default ' '
It's important to note that some hosting companies do not allow the creation of a new database in an SSH environment; they let their customers create new databases using the hosting control panel. So you'd better check first with your hosting company.
Step 1: Connect to your MySQL server using the Putty SSH client (refer to the previously discussed section).
Step 2: At the MySQL prompt, select the database to work with (name of database is codex):
mysql> use codex;
Step 3: Create the table, its fields and configuration in one command line:
mysql> CREATE TABLE codexmovies (movieid int(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,movietitle varchar(100) NOT NULL default ",moviegenre varchar(100) NOT NULL default ", PRIMARY KEY (movieid)) TYPE=MyISAM;
Below is the link to the screen shot of the actual MySQL query done in SSH:
Discussion of the design elements of the MySQL database is beyond the scope of this article. It is suggested that you refer to the following materials if you need some references:
You have successfully created the MySQL database table codexmovies.
Likewise, you can view the structure of this table (showing the field types) using the following command:
mysql> describe codexmovies;
Inserting Records into a MySQL Table
Suppose you need to insert the following records into the table "codexmovies:"
movie title1: Iron Man 2
movie genre1: Action
movie title2: Sherlock Holmes
movie genre: detective
movie title3: Milk
movie genre: drama
mysql> INSERT INTO codexmovies (movietitle,moviegenre) VALUES ('Iron Man 2′,'Action');
mysql> INSERT INTO codexmovies (movietitle,moviegenre) VALUES ('Sherlock Holmes','detective');
mysql> INSERT INTO codexmovies (movietitle,moviegenre) VALUES ('Milk','drama');
Okay, now you need to view all of the codexmovies records in SSH:
mysql> select * from codexmovies;
You can even execute a more advanced MySQL queries like UPDATE, DELETE, etc. and other MySQL commands that are needed for complex database administration.

Others have powered multiple motherboards from a single power supply, so it probably can be made to work with your hardware too, but the only way to know for sure is to try it. I myself did some initial experimentation along those lines, but I never got around to actually installing and using Linux on the nodes in that configuration: http://www.scyld.com/pipermail/beowulf/2004-September/010766.html http://www.scyld.com/pipermail/beowulf/2004-October/010974.html http://www.scyld.com/pipermail/beowulf/2004-October/010981.html This cluster used multiple nodes per power supply: http://www.abo.fi/~physcomp/cluster/celeron.html http://physics.bu.edu/~sandvik/clusters.html These clusters did not, but are also "box of bare boards" designs, so might be relevent to you: http://jessen.ch/ammonite/ http://www.phys.utb.edu/beowulf/ http://krone.physik.unizh.ch/~stadel/zBox/story.html http://krone.physik.unizh.ch/~stadel/zBox/ http://mini-itx.com/projects/cluster/ > This is a power-saving concept... if I could run 16 mobo's on 8 (or even 6) > power supplies, it might be more beneficial to my health and well-being when > the electric bill comes in. Might be, I guess, especially if those power supplies were more efficient models. Since this is a home hobbyist cluster however, you're likely to save a lot more by automatically turning the nodes off whenever you're not actually using them, and then booting them up fast with Wake-on-LAN and PXE - if they support that. -- Andrew Piskorski <atp at piskorski.com> http://www.piskorski.com/

Largest Construction Contract Awarded in the State
In March 2006, American Bridges/Fluor Enterprises, a Joint Venture, presented a $1.43 billion bid for the self-anchored suspension (SAS) portion of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. The contract was awarded the folllowing month.
Work on the new east span's most iconic element, the single tower, 2,047-foot-long SAS span, continues to move ahead. The SAS is unlike any other bridge in the world. Despite issues that delayed the delivery of the initial deck sections, staff in China collaborated with the prime contractor and fabricator to overcome those hurdles and sent the first deck sections sailing across the Pacific in December 2009. Those first 12 deck sections arrived in the Bay Area in just 22 days. By the end of 2009, nearly 55 percent of the permanent SAS sections were fabricated and out of the workshops. Nearly 53 percent of the steel crossbeams were fabricated, and 68 percent of the tower sections were complete. Almost all work on the temporary steel support structures for the SAS was completed by the end of the 2009.
In July 2010, the final segment of the new east span began to take shape with the placement of the first tower leg for the single tower that will eventually soar 525 feet above the foundations.
In 2009, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Senate Bill X2 4, which provided legislative authority for public private partnership agreements for the development of transportation infrastructure through 2017. This method of financing will provide significant new capital investment while improving and expanding our transportation infrastructure. In February 2010, the California Transportation Commission approved the Presidio Parkway project under this authority. It is anticipated that the project will achieve contract execution by the end of December 2010.
The Presidio Parkway project is intended to replace the existing 73-year-old south access to the Golden Gate Bridge. The entire project is expected to cost approximately $929 million and consist of eight separate contracts. Contracts one through four started in November 2009. These projects will improve that seismic safety. The public private partnership project will construct contracts five through eight ($473 million) and finance the future operations and maintenance of the entire project.
In 2009, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Senate Bill X2 4, which provided legislative authority for a design-build demonstration program. This strategy allows a project to begin construction earlier, since one section of the project can be built while the next section is being designed. This process maximizes available labor, materials and resources. The bill allowed for 10 projects to be piloted by the state and five projects to be piloted by local agencies. The demonstration program will allow the projects to open to traffic an average of 12 months early. As of August 2010, the California Transportation Commission has approved six state projects in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Fresno, San Mateo, and Madera counties and one local project in Riverside County.
Improvements to Contract Bidding
Caltrans continues to feature contract bidding improvements that promote business connectivity between smaller contractors and larger contractors. These improvements stimulate economic development and improve bidding contractors' access to information while meeting the intent of the Governor's Executive Order 02-06.
Caltrans has transitioned to a paperless bid document distribution system (E Ad) to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Paperless bid documents eliminate excess printing costs and storage issues for unused project documents.
For the past five years, the Caltrans director has entered into contracts with each of Caltrans' 12 district directors to ensure the delivery of projects ready to go to construction within the fiscal year. The department first began the contracts for delivery in fiscal year 2005-06. The contracts for delivery include projects designed by Caltrans, that are committed to achieve the "ready to list" milestone, or reached the point where Caltrans may advertise the project to solicit bids from contractors.
From fiscal year 2005-06 to 2009-10, Caltrans delivered 99.8 percent of the 1,394 projects included in the contracts for delivery valued at nearly $15 billion. In FY 2009-10, Caltrans delivered 304 projects, worth $2.8 billion, on time. More than 64 percent (892 of the 1,394) of the contract for delivery projects achieved the ready to list milestone ahead of schedule.
These contracts for delivery have represented only a portion of the work required to deliver projects. They have focused on specific projects where the completion of activities will get those projects ready to move to construction within the fiscal year. However, most projects require several years to get through the environmental, design, right-of-way procurement and construction processes. In addition to focusing on those projects that can be made ready for construction within the fiscal year, the contracts for delivery for FY 2010-11 will be modified to include project delivery milestones for all phases of all projects being worked on.
Since 2006, the department has consistently managed from $9.4-$10.4 billion in contracts to generate jobs and improve the state's infrastructure. At the end of the 2009-10 fiscal year, Caltrans had nearly 700 ongoing construction contracts valued at nearly $9.6 billion statewide.

The 2007 or 2008 farm bill — if Congress doesn't act next year — could be a far different animal from its predecessor if some non-farm groups are able to put their stamp on it.
For months, farmers have been telling anyone who listened that they want to keep the current law. But the Chicago Council on Global Affairs recently released a report that calls for what would amount to a complete makeover.
The report recommends ending "trade-distorting farm subsidies," such as counter-cyclical payments, loan deficiency payments and marketing loans, and replacing them with less-costly programs to help weather the ups and downs of prices and yields.
"If the European Union and the United States don't take the lead in ending trade-distorting subsidies, developing countries and the World Trade Organization legal system will do it for both of us," said Gus Schumacher, task force co-chair and former USDA undersecretary for farm and foreign agricultural services.
"We'll lose control of critical farm policies and miss the worldwide export expansion opportunities, particularly in emerging markets, that a successful Doha Round could bring. These emerging markets, such as India, China and competitors such as Brazil also need to step up and offer improved market access."
Some critics would question how much market access the latter will offer no matter how liberal a new trade agreement the WTO passes. But few would challenge the report's other major assertion: Congress will have less money to spend on farm programs in 2007.
"The farm bill budget will likely be a smaller, zero-sum game in 2007," said Robert Thompson, another task force co-chair and professor of agricultural policy at the University of Illinois. "Now more than ever, spending decisions must be driven by investments in the future of agriculture and the needs of rural America, the national economy, public health and the environment."
The report says current subsidies should be replaced with (1) revenue insurance covering all commodities that would protect against drops in price and production; (2) land stewardship rewards that pay producers according to the kind and amount of environmental benefits they provide; and (3) farmer savings accounts.
Direct payments consistent with WTO green box rules would continue to offset declines in land prices that might result from eliminating trade-distorting subsidies.
"Ending subsidies that conflict with our trade obligations doesn't have to mean an end to the farm safety net," says Thompson. "Traditional subsidies can be replaced by programs that help farmers cope with business risks while complying with trade obligations and advancing future trade objectives."
Former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy, a Jackson, Miss., attorney and task force member, also weighs in. "Our trade-distorting subsidies represent a grossly inefficient use of funds. A wiser use of our budget dollars would be for the recommendations in this report."
The recommendations may have merit. But farmers and ranchers will have to be convinced they will truly help them compete in an increasingly cutthroat world before they will buy into them.

Bank of America Corp has fired back at New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman after he threatened to sue the bank for violating the terms of a $25 billion settlement designed to end mortgage servicing abuses.
In a letter to Schneiderman, lawyers for Bank of America said they were "surprised and disappointed" the attorney general thought the bank engaged in "flagrant violations" of the timeline to process mortgage modifications.
Continue Reading Below
The lawyers also said Schneiderman cannot sue until the bank has an opportunity to cure any alleged violations.
"Bank of America has not committed any potential violations ... let alone failed to cure those potential violations," attorneys Meyer Koplow and Theodore Mirvis, of Wachtell, Lipton Rosen & Katz, wrote in the May 7 letter. Reuters obtained a copy of the letter on Friday.
Schneiderman announced on Monday that he planned to sue Bank of America and Wells Fargo & Co for violating the terms of last year's National Mortgage Settlement, which was brokered between five major banks and 49 attorneys general.
Schneiderman did not say how the other three banks - JPMorgan Chase & Co , Citigroup Inc and Ally Financial Inc - were performing.
He said Bank of America had 129 violations since October and Wells Fargo had 210 and that their tardiness put homeowners at greater risk of foreclosure.
On Friday, Wells Fargo said it was committed to abiding by the settlement.
"We expect that a constructive pathway may still develop with the New York AG," the bank said in a statement.
Asked about the Bank of America letter, Schneiderman's spokesman, Damien LaVera, said: "At least Bank of America will respond to one New Yorker promptly."
LaVera said the attorney general has "the right to bring a suit against parties that violate the servicing standards and will do so."
Schneiderman has said he would seek injunctive relief and an order requiring the banks to comply with the settlement. His statement did not say he was seeking damages or penalties.
It is unclear how far he can take his efforts because they come outside the primary channel authorized by the settlement to address any potential violations. The settlement's monitor is authorized to first work with a servicer to correct any potential violations and sue only if the errors are not fixed.
Bank of America said that, under the terms of the settlement, the attorney general's office has no right to commence an enforcement action and requested that the notice of intent be publicly withdrawn.
The bank's letter asked for evidence of any violations so it could provide remediation to homeowners without waiting for any "adversary process."

Arizona Cardinals superstar Larry Fitzgerald's summer camp has developed a reputation as a PhD course for wide receivers, having propelled big names such as Brandon Marshall, Greg Jennings, Sidney Rice and Dwayne Bowe to breakout NFL seasons.
Fitzgerald books the hotel rooms, provides lunch and gains access to the University of Minnesota's fields and weight room. Instructors have included legends Jerry Rice, Michael Irvin, Cris Carter and Roy Green.
Camp Fitzgerald stresses attention to detail, time management and technique. Perhaps more importantly, it serves as a bridge from offseason workouts to training camp, allowing the players to stay in peak physical condition.
"(Fitzgerald) works his butt off," 2011 breakout receiver Laurent Robinson explained to the Cardinals' official website last summer. "He works like he's going to get cut the next day. It's a lot of work, but you have to train with the best to be the best."
Other "graduates" of Fitzgerald's camp include Eric Decker, Jermichael Finley, Kyle Rudolph, Golden Tate, Steve Breaston and Lee Evans.
Although we've yet to see the full list of players involved this year, the two strongest breakout candidates are Cecil Shorts of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Fitzgerald's teammate, Michael Floyd.
Around The League's Dan Hanzus recently outlined Floyd's chances of making the leap this season.
Despite playing less than 50 percent of the snaps every game until Week 7, Shorts fell just 21 yards shy of 1,000 after participating in last year's camp. Two late-season concussions helped keep him under the national radar.
That will change this season. Shorts has added seven pounds of muscle to emulate Fitzgerald's power and ability to get off the jam at the line of scrimmage.
"Fitzgerald is the ideal pro," Shorts said, via Pete Prisco of CBSSports.com. "He's an extremely hard worker, extremely humble. He's the professional of all professionals. He gets it. You can see why he's one of the best. I want to work to get there."
While Justin Blackmon faces a four-game suspension and recovery from groin surgery, Shorts is entrenched as the Jaguars' No. 1 receiver.
|Take a look as NFL fantasy editor Michael Fabiano ranks his top 30 fantasy football players for your 2013 roster.
"I like Cecil Shorts," new Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said after seeing him in offseason practices. "Put it down. I'm a good evaluator."
Fantasy leaguers shouldn't let Jacksonville's quarterback morass scare them off Shorts this summer. The film suggests he's 90 percent of Victor Cruz, and the metrics show a yards-per-snap figure higher than those of Andre Johnson, A.J. Green, Dez Bryant and Julio Jones.
In other words, few outside of Duval County realize Shorts already has enjoyed his breakout season.

PADM 217 - Organization Theory
Public organizations face a uniquely demanding political, legal and economic environment often filled with organized opponents, zealous supporters, reluctant clients and ambiguous laws. This course examines the impacts of such factors on basic management functions, including leading, designing organizational structures, motivating employees, and innovating. This course goes beyond analyzing the forces which influence public management to examine alternative responses available to administrators and how they can influence society.

CONWAY, S.C. -- Just 22 hours after recording a career-high 15 points against Southern Virginia, sophomore Jessica Noll recorded her first career double-double to lead the Coastal Carolina University women's basketball team (6-1) past Coker 64-31 Sunday, Nov. 30 at Kimbel Arena. Noll tallied game-highs of 12 points and 13 rebounds for the Chants, while redshirt fresman Courtney Grambley used the second half to score a season-high 10 points.
Coker (1-4) raced out to a 7-4 advantage before freshman Taylor Epley scored her first basket of the game to start an 11-0 Coastal Carolina run, as the Chanticleers took a 15-7 lead with 7:14 left to play in the half. Coastal Carolina then closed out the half with a 12-5 run to build a 27-12 advantage at the break. The Chants only shot 29 percent in the first frame, but that was enough to go ahead of the Lady Cobras, who shot 16 percent from the floor.
Coastal Carolina recorded the first four baskets of the second half to stretch the lead to 35-12 before Coker could get on the scoreboard. A three-pointer by Lotta Aaltonen cut the deficit to 20 points with 11:45 remaining in the game. The Chanticleers led comfortably the remainder of the half, including when Grambley drained her second triple to push the Chanticleers to their largest lead of the day at 61-28 with 1:18 left on the clock.
The Chants sifted through the lineup for the second day, after drowning Southern Virginia 76-36 the day before. Noll was 2-of-5 from the floor and went 7-for-8 from the charity stripe for the Chanticleers and added a career-high three blocks, while sophomore Kate Jasinski had eight points and dished out seven assists.
Coker's Jessica Hayes led the team with seven points and eight rebounds, followed by teammates Henna Kopenen and Lotta Aaltonen who registered six points each.
Coker turned the ball over 24 times while the Chants had 11 turnovers in the game. Coastal Carolina shot 36.9 percent from the floor as Coker shot 23.1 percent.
Coastal Carolina will now head on the road for three games starting in Indiana Saturday, Dec. 6, when the Chanticleers travel to Indianapolis, Ind., to take on Butler at 2 p.m.

The highest returns for nitrogen applications on corn occur when soil color is used to create management zones for variable-rate applications, according to a Colorado State University study. The method achieved higher net returns than both a blanket application of nitrogen and when grid sampling was used to create management zones for variable-rate applications.
Ironically, a blanket application of nitrogen had better returns than variable-rate applications on corn based on grid sampling. The results of the study were presented at the National Alliance of Independent Crop Consultants, Tucson, Ariz., by Dwayne Westfall, professor, soil and crop sciences, CSU.
Westfall says there are three types of field variability — natural variability from soils and topography, random variability, which is weather-related, and managed variability, which is the variability growers can manage — inputs, tillage, traffic patterns, irrigation practices, etc.
Since the emergence of precision agriculture, grid sampling has been used to locate areas of manageable variability, Westfall noted. "But early on, we realized that it had some major limitations, namely the cost and labor associated with it. An important point is that the current grid size being used — 2.5 acres — is often too large to capture the spatial variability that exists within fields."
The objective of the study is to "develop techniques for developing management zones that will optimize crop production and economic returns. The management zone is a sub-region of a field that expresses some commonality that affects yield. We are trying to identify those areas of commonality in the field and manage them."
The researchers first looked at several techniques to establish three management zones for the fields in the study — corresponding to high, medium and low production potential.
"The first technique requires very little learning time and is the one we like the best because of its simplicity — the soil color management zone. It uses three data layers, black and white bare soil imagery, the farmer's perception of topography and the farmer's perception of his experience with his yield.
In this technique the bare soil imagery is color-enhanced to differentiate organic matter, soil texture, etc., and borders of management zones are automatically drawn. The farmer has the ability to come in and tweak those zones, to move the boundaries around.
There are two reasons for including the farmer's experience, according to Westfall. "He gives us previous management information, intuition, observations he's made. It also means that the farmer has bought into the concept. Immediately, he has more ownership."
Another management zone delineation technique is using a Veris mapping cart to map the electrical conductivity of the soil.
"We also evaluated a more complex technique — a yield-based management zone. It has six data layers — bare soil imagery, topography, the previous year's yield map plus organic matter, texture and CEC. One limitation in this design is that we should have used more yield maps."
Scientists evaluated the techniques through yield mapping. They discovered that even the most complicated management zone techniques failed to capture most of the variability in the field. "Only 51 percent of our predicted yields matched up with the actual yield."
Maps based on soil color showed a 42 percent association with actual yield. In most of the techniques, the researchers had success in separating the low-potential areas from high areas, but not always the low from the medium or the medium from the high.
One reason why the zones weren't more accurate is that "small-scale variability is not captured with management zone delineation we use. Grid-sampling has the same problem, only on a larger scale. On the micro-scale, we have different production potential within different zones.
"Another point is that smoothing the data for the purpose of using large equipment will cause you to lose some accuracy. There is different yield potential within the zones. There may be an area of high yield potential within a low zone, but we can't manage that with equipment that is 60-feet to 90-feet wide. We have to smooth over it."
Nonetheless, the economics of the using the commercially available soil color method of delineation indicated a good net return, according to Westfall.
Variable-rate nitrogen applications on corn based on grid-based sampling had a net return of $19 less than a uniform application. VR applications based on soil color showed an increase in net return due to variable-rate nitrogen management of $12 an acre compared to the uniform nitrogen application and a $32 an acre increase in returns compared to variable-rate applications based on grid-based zones.

If I were making a parody of my own cocktail menus, a Sri Lankan Curry Margarita is exactly the kind of drink I'd put on it. Yet after a making a batch of this curry powder, I knew it had to put it into a drink. At our chef's suggestion we're pairing it with tequila in a Margarita variation on the latest Metrovino cocktail menu:
1 1/2 oz reposado tequila (Espolon)
3/4 oz Sri Lankan curry-honey syrup
3/4 oz lime juice
1/4 oz Royal Combier
salt and ground cumin, for garnish
Moisten half the rim of a rocks glass with lime juice and coat with the salt and cumin mixture, then fill with ice. Shake cocktail ingredients with ice and strain into the glass.
About that curry blend: It's the roasted curry powder from Rice and Curry: Sri Lankan Home Cooking by Skiz Fernando, Jr., a very interesting cookbook a friend sent me recently. Rather than copy that recipe here, I'd rather encourage you to support the author by buying the book or purchasing his blend directly, which you can do here. It requires a few hard to find ingredients like curry leaves and a dozen spices, so buying the blend is the easier approach. I recommend the book though and have enjoyed the wonderfully flavored curries I've made from it.
Once you have your blend, here's how to make the syrup:
2 tablespoons roasted curry powder
1 cup honey
1 cup water
Simmer all ingredients for a few minutes until flavorful, then add a pinch of salt. Cool, strain, and bottle. Or save yourself the trouble and come enjoy one at the bar.

Randy W. Schekman, professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley, has won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his role in revealing the machinery that regulates the transport and secretion of proteins in our cells. He shares the prize with James E. Rothman of Yale University and Thomas C. Südhof of Stanford University.
Discoveries by Schekman about how yeast secrete proteins led directly to the success of the biotechnology industry, which was able to coax yeast to release useful protein drugs, such as insulin and human growth hormone. The three scientists' research on protein transport in cells, and how cells control this trafficking to secrete hormones and enzymes, illuminated the workings of a fundamental process in cell physiology. -more-

I just found out from the Berkeley Tenants' Union of a City of Berkeley draft demolition ordinance that will allow developers "to tear down rent controlled units, even those which are occupied or in good condition, and not replace them. The new draft allows developers to pay an unspecified fee which could be changed by City Council at any time." Now, put this together with the lack of legally required notice to the downtown Berkeley residents regarding the Downtown Area Plan zoning changes, and all the upzonings from R-4 to C-DMU zoning that violated DAP Policy LU-7.1, which ordered that the R-4 properties be downzoned to R-3 zoning, and you have a perfect storm where the city and developers have arranged things so that 1) tenants did not know about the proposed DAP rezonings and thus could not organized and complain about them, 2) the city illegitimately upzoned many properties to C-DMU instead of downzoning them to R-3 in accordance with Policy LU-7.1, paving the way for developers to build six-story plus buildings, instead of the three stories allowed under R-3; and 3) they are pushing this new demolition ordinance draft which paves the way for developers to demolish all of the existing apartments in downtown Berkeley, freely evicting existing rent-controlled tenants, in order to build larger, lucrative luxury apartments which the evicted downtown residents will not be able to afford. -more-
After reading that UC Berkeley has spent $16.2 million or thereabouts in the last two years on two football coaches and thinking once again this is not the country I grew up in, this a.m. Saturday, the 5th of October, I tried to park close to the farmer's market downtown. Again I found two streets closed to traffic, guarded by police officers. I figured some important work was going on at Berkeley High. It was hot and I was feeling kinda weak on my way back to my car, 5 blocks away. I stopped and spoke with two kindly police persons who informed me that the streets were closed again because it was necessary to park towed cars illegally parked for the Cal football game somewhere. When I got mad, I was told well this is after all a "college town." What about care and concern for the citizens who pay taxes here, especially those of us who are elderly? And what about care and concern for all students whose tuition continues to rise semester by semester as football expenses take a bigger and greater toll on the supposed "educational" institution we used to be so proud of????????? -more-

To clarify the Council did not approve an ordinance banning smoking in multi-family buildings, an effort we have been working on for years. Despite the fact that Walnut Creek is now the 27th city to pass a smoking ban for apartments, Berkeley will have to wait until staff comes back with a revised policy sometime in the next few months. -more-

Almost by accident, the other night I saw the new documentary Inequality for All, which features Robert Reich, now Professor of Public Policy at the University of California here in Berkeley. I know, I know, Paul Krugman called him a "non-economist". . In fact, Krugman once wrote of Reich "talented writer, too bad he never gets anything right."
But he's a pretty good teacher and journalist, skilled at communicating important points so that other non-economists like me understand them. This new movie, which relies heavily on animated graphs, is very simple, and much of it is incontrovertible.
I didn't plan to see it, because I've read many of his columns and heard him often on the radio. What brought me there was that I'd agreed to entertain my eleven-year-old granddaughter for the evening, and her mother, who'd seen the film already, thought she'd enjoy it. And, surprisingly, she did.
A plus for the junior set is Reich's self-mocking comic touch. He's a master of the short end of the shtick. Well over four feet tall, he misses no opportunity to turn this genetic fact into funny stuff, starting with the lead-in scene where he drives up to the U.C. Berkeley campus in his Mini-Cooper. (You can watch this in the trailer on the film's web site)
Admittedly, my granddaughter was also intrigued by the idea that the movie was rated PG-13—she was looking forward to something shocking. The girl in the box office didn't even ask her age, and in truth nothing in the film, except possibly a clip of Jon Stewart employing his signature bleeped-out "fuck", could be considered remotely racy. The numbers, however, were scary, as I expected.
The theme is simple, and very familiar to those—well, to those to whom it's familiar. It's a cliché in some circles: The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Some of us knew that already. -more-

For a differential measurement case (e.g. Surveying, where you want to know how far apart two things are) the typical performance is a few mm+few ppm. So over a 1km distance, you can easily know distance between two points to <1cm. (easily, not cheaply!.. The receivers will set you back a few tens of $K. This is true for GPS, Glonass, or Galileo.

Almost inconceivable that this would happen these days. Too many commercial applications would squawk if it were to be shut down. Selective Availability (degraded precision for non-differential measurements) to be sure, but I think that as a policy thing, they've pretty much abandoned it, it's too easy to get around. > On GPS technical data i'm not sure what i'm allowed to quote, so > let's not do it. > Let's not even comment how far off or on Robert is. The original GPS design assumed one could build a receiver to track within 1 PN chip, and at a rate of about 1 Megachip/second, that means 300m uncertainty. The precise code (P/Y) is 10 times faster, for 30m accuracy (sufficient for midcourse correction of an ICBM aimed at a hardened target). Before the spacecraft were even up, tracking to tenths of a chip was readily possible. By the 80s, commercial mfrs had figured out ways to exploit the fact that the two carrier frequencies (L1 carries the C/A code at 1Mchip/sec and the P/Y at 10Mchip/sec, L2 carries just the P/Y) are phase locked (by design) to get mm scale precision in surveying applications (just need many seconds of integration, so there's no real strategic threat.. ICBMs can't reside at a location for 10 seconds to integrate) Today, one can spend <$100 to get a GPS receiver that exceeds the performance of original intent of the design by several orders of magnitude. For instance, in my garage, I have a surplus Z8301 frequency standard which is an ovenized quartz oscillator disciplined by GPS so that it's accurate to around 1E-11 or 1E-12. This was all of a $250 purchase. As a side effect, I can use the observables from the GPS receiver inside to potentially measure the movement of my house as the Pacific plate drifts northward at a couple cm/year. Rest assured that I am far from at the limit on homebrew timing fanaticism (check out the time-nuts list.. Haven't you and the kids always wanted to experimentally verify General Relativity over the weekend with stuff in your garage?)

During the fall and winter months, we love searing our steaks on the stove-top seasoned with just salt and pepper, but... during the warm months we start craving more flavor. Because kebabs are cut into smaller pieces, then marinaded, you end up with really flavorful steak. This is a simple recipe - you don't even have to use the sesame oil if you don't have it, any oil will work.
For the more details about our Outdoor Dinner Party, including table setting and the menu, click here.
Steak Kebab Marinade
2 pounds of steak (I used strip steaks)
Vegetables (I used squash)
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup toasted (dark) sesame oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
Sea Salt & Pepper
Wooden Skewers
Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes.
Trim fat from steaks and cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes. Slice squash into thin rounds.
In a large bowl, stir together soy, brown sugar, oil and garlic. Add vegetables and steak. Toss to coat. Let marinade in the refrigerator (if you have time - up to overnight).
Skewer before grilling. Grill on high flame for 2 minutes on each side until hot pink in the middle - it will not take very long!

From teen drama to biographies to children's series, the Friends of Southington Library Book Store sells a variety of used books to local residents and non-residents of the town.
Located in the basement of Southington Public Library, the bookstore offers high-quality used books, all organized by author and genre. Doris LaRese, the bookstore coordinator, handles the pricing and sorting of books in the maintenance room, where costs range from .50 cents to a few dollars, depending on the condition of the book. Paperbacks cost .50 cents while hardcover books cost $1. Used books in excellent condition may cost a few dollars.
Library Director Sue Smayda is a customer of the bookstore. Smayda said she is proud of everything that this section of the library has to offer for residents and non-residents of the town.
"The books in the store are in top condition and are offered at great prices," she said. "I visit the store regularly and often buy lots of Christmas presents there."
Smayda also said the Friends Bookstore plays a major role in the funding of library programs. Last year the nonprofit organization donated $25,000 to library programs that the town did not fund.
The bookstore donated money to library programs including "Transparent Language," the online program that offers courses in foreign language and "Constant Contact," the library's eNewsletter that informs the town on library programs and services. The bookstore also funded Scholar-led Book Discussions and "1,000 Books before Kindergarten," which is part of the library's Ready to Read program.
When not donating funds to the library, the bookstore donates all discarded books to the American Legion, and it also spent $10,000 to digitalize all old Southington newspapers and The War Years.
As a resident of Southington for 50 years, LaRese said making an impact on the town brings her joy.
"I think it is important for me to give back to my community," LaRese said. "I thoroughly enjoy this."
Established almost 17 years ago, the bookstore began as the traditional "Friends of Southington Library" group, which reorganized in 1988. The group had a book sale once a year, and when volunteers of the group dwindled down, the idea of running a bookstore sprouted among existing members. After the approval from the library board, the Friends Bookstore opened in 1996.
"Since then, it has grown," LaRese said. "The first year, we gave the board a $5,000 check."
LaRese had prior experience volunteering for the town prior to her work with the bookstore. She served as president of the PTA at Hatton Elementary School and also as a member of the library board for seven years.
Her first time working with books began when she helped the school catalogue a thousand books in its library. The principal at the time was so impressed with the outcome of the project, that other schools asked LaRese to show them how to catalogue their books too.
"Three other libraries invited me to show their PTA how to do it."
Today, LaRese cannot resist putting down a book even when she is not at work. Between history and biographies, LaRese said she reads all kinds of books.
"I am an eclectic reader today." "I cannot go to bed without a book."
Starting out with about ten volunteers with two on duty every day, the Friends Bookstore has 47 volunteers today, and continues to accept new ones. If anyone is interested in volunteering, applications are always available at the front desk in the bookstore. Anyone interested in donating used books can drop them off in the bin located right outside the bookstore in the basement.
Store hours are:
Monday: 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Tuesday and Wednesday: 2 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Thursday: 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Friday: 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Saturday: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (except from July to Labor Day)

Author Notes: This recipe is a take on the classic French cauliflower soup. I learned this recipe while taking cooking classes in New York. My take replaces the traditional leeks with radishes to add an earthy, peppery kick. —Fanstastic Mr Fox
Serves: 4
For the soup
medium radishes
1 1/2
ounces butter
1 1/2
ounces all purpose flour
5 1/4
cups milk
head of cauliflower
cup heavy cream
Salt to taste
White pepper to taste
Chervil or flat parsley leaves
Cauliflower fleurettes
In This Recipe
- Wash and dry vegetables
- Peel radishes. Slice thin 6 radishes, coarsely chop 2 radishes. The pink radish skin needs to be removed to preserve the white color of the soup.
- Divide cauliflower head into quarters; roughly chop three quarters including stalks; reserve one quarter, trim into fleurettes, set aside (add left over pieces of stalk to chopped cauliflower)
- Heat milk to simmer over medium heat (or heat gently in microwave).
- While milk is heating, in a large sauce pan, sweat sliced radishes in butter. When radishes are soft but with no color, sprinkle them with flour and stir so flour absorbs liquid in pan.
- Add warmed milk to radishes in sauce and bring to simmer. Do not use cold milk.
- Add chopped cauliflower (not the fleurettes) to saucepan. Bring to simmer and cook until the cauliflower is tender.
- While chopped cauliflower is cooking, blanch fleurettes and remove immediately to ice water bath. Drain and set aside.
- When chopped cauliflower is tender, remove from heat, add remaining raw chopped radish, and puree in a food mill or blender; strain through a mesh sieve. Make sure to let saucepan contents cool BEFORE pureeing.
- Rinse sauce pan. Pour puree into pan and return to heat. Add cream and bring to simmer.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve in warm bowls with garnish.

I need to move before getting another dog but that is something I am working on. How old are the pups now? And do you have any females still available?

She is a lean, mean working machine and I adore her. I mean, I love my bulldogs and will always own a few of them but I would definitely like to experience working with a Mal.
My only reasoning for asking about a female is that I have 2 males as it is. Tho I already crate and rotate my dogs so it wouldn't be terribly difficult to add a third dog to the mix. I've actually never owned a female dog so it would be a totally new experience for me.
I'm going to keep looking for a new place to live and I will let you know if I get somewhere where having a third dog is feasible. It's really important to me that I don't end up shortchanging all the dogs because I get in over my head...y'know? I will keep you posted tho. Can you send me a PM on cost and such just so I have an idea? Thanks.

The second coming of the AX1200, now with software controls
Subject: Cases and Cooling | October 24, 2012 - 05:11 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: PSU, modular psu, kilowatt, Digital Power Supply, Corsair Link, corsair, ax1200i, 80 Plus Platinum
Corsair's new AX1200i PSU is 80 Plus Platinum rated and sports Link monitoring and control software as you might remember from Lee's review. On the off chance that you would like a second opinion about the PSU, [H]ard|OCP recently published their own review. Just like Lee they were impressed with the voltage regulation, efficiency, and DC Output quality though they were less impressed with the noise they saw during their Transient Load Test. They also questioned the use of the Link tweaking software and while the final verdict was positive in some ways they didn't feel this PSU was as true successor to the stellar AX1200 released almost two years ago.
"Corsair has a refresh today that talks to its high end line of high power PSUs. The AX1200i comes in touting "platinum" efficiency and "an unprecedented level of monitoring and performance customization." How does the AX1200i perform out-of-the-box and does it actually bring value at its huge price?"

Introduction and Features
Manufacturers are continually looking for ways to differentiate their products from the rest of the field and highlight new or improved features to make you want to buy their products. Leave it to Corsair to actually come up with a truly new and unique power supply for the PC enthusiast market! The Corsair AX1200i is a smart PSU that incorporates a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to deliver extremely clean, efficient power with the ability to make real-time adjustments to various internal parameters. The included Corsair Link software can be used to monitor and adjust performance, noise (fan speed), and Over Current Protection (OCP) settings.
It's been almost two years since we reviewed Corsair's flagship power supply, the Professional Series Gold AX1200. While the new AX1200i retains many of the original features it now comes with 80 Plus Platinum efficiency certification and a built-in DACS (Data Acquisition and Control System) thanks to Corsair Link technology.

Real-time monitoring and control with Corsair Link. Put the AX1200i under your control by connecting it directly to a USB header on your motherboard with the included cable, or to a Corsair Commander (available separately). Then, download the free Corsair Link Dashboard software for unrivaled power supply monitoring and control options.

Corsair announces AX1200i DSP-based fully modular power supply
Subject: Cases and Cooling | June 4, 2012 - 06:01 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: power supply, corsair, computex, ax1200i
As Computex continues into its first full day over in Taiwan, Corsair has a few things to show you, starting with a new high-end power supply called the AX1200i, a completely digitally-controlled unit.
The new AX1200i is rated at 80 PLUS Platinum levels of efficiency thanks in part to the digital power control technology to provide stable voltages, low ripple and low noise levels. A new circuit board layout and reduced component count also aid in the ability for this Corsair unit to hit efficiency as high as 92% and to operate in a fanless, silent mode up to 40% utilization.
"Corsair has earned a reputation as one of world's best providers of enthusiast PSUs, and with the AX1200i, we have raised the technology and performance bar far above anything the market has seen," said Ruben Mookerjee, VP and General Manager of the Components Business Unit at Corsair. "By designing the first DSP-based enthusiast PSU and integrating our unique Corsair Link technology, we can offer enthusiasts a PSU with a matchless combination of performance and customizable features."
AX1200i's DSP-based design, combined with Corsair Link technology, provides enthusiasts with unprecedented control over the features and performance characteristics of their PSU. This includes real-time monitoring of temperature, current draw, and power efficiency, as well as the ability to adjust the speed of the internal 140mm fan. These features also allow for a unique level of customization, such as the ability to switch from the default single +12V rail configuration to a tailored "multi-rail" mode, with the ability to set over current protection set-points on a per-rail basis.
The new Corsair AX1200i power supply will be available in August and will ship with a 7-year warranty. Pricing is unknown.

See what some of my guests and listeners have to say about Intimate Conversations Live...
|"The conversation with Dain was great. I get so tired of the predictable radio show hosts who are craving attention. You and Dain sparked off each other in a genuine, inspiring way. It was delicious to hear ;-) See you in Marina del Rey!"
PAM FREE, Listener, California
|"Great interview with Larry Michael. I can say with conviction from personal experience that his genetic energetics science is totally accurate. This conversation gave the best description I've yet heard of the difference between 'mental emotional' and 'physical' sexual response types. Thank you Allana for interviewing Larry again."
PETE BURCH, Listener, Rochester, Medway, United Kingdom
|"I just joined, so I have only listened to one interview - the one with Adam Gilad. It was a great conversation. No matter if you are single, in a relationship, or married, there were some great takeaways. One of the key ones was a reinforcement of something I have always believed - you have to be willing to not know something when you plunge in. I also liked the emphasis on being receptive and letting people in. I plan to not miss any of these conversations."
JEFF COLE, Listener, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
|"This is great, Oriana! Tell her I absolutely loved the call. It was one of the easiest, most inspiring, and most connected interviews I have ever had. We shall meet someday for sure!"
ZAN PERRION, The Ars Amorata, Vancouver, British Columbia
|"I love your series! Already I have acquired so many resources that are helping me out. It is an answer to my prayers. Your real love for the people is amazing. You are so open about your life. You have inspired me to start a new journey in my life, so much could be possible."
TONI, Avid Listener, Ireland
|"That really was a jolt of happiness for me!
You DO ask great questions - you made me think - and I think I've said things I never have before."

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) When Michigan State beat Iowa last season, the Spartans led 31-7 at halftime.
That kind of fast start has been nowhere to be found lately.
Michigan State hasn't led after two quarters in more than a month, but the Spartans will try to reverse that trend Saturday when they host the Hawkeyes in a crucial matchup in the Big Ten's Legends Division. Iowa is one of two teams in the division that hasn't dropped a conference game yet.
Michigan State rallied from an early deficit to beat Indiana last weekend, but it was a struggle. The Spartans trailed 17-0 after one quarter before winning 31-27.
``What is in the past is past. We'll try to change things up - all I can tell you is we'll try to change things up,'' Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said. ``I thought our football team was ready to play. I think Indiana had something to do with that - snapped the ball every 12 seconds. We got gassed. When you get gassed, things are not going to happen and we became disoriented.''
That wasn't the only game in which Michigan State (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten) looked out of sorts early. The Spartans trailed 14-3 at halftime in a loss to Notre Dame last month, and a week after that, they were losing 7-3 to Eastern Michigan after two quarters before coming back to win 23-7.
The season began in East Lansing with Rose Bowl aspirations, but it's hard to get a sense of where Michigan State stands in a jumbled league race that's still taking shape.
``Everywhere in America right now, every college football team feels a sense of urgency,'' Dantonio said. ``We've always felt a sense of urgency. If we were 6-0 or 5-1, there would still be a sense of urgency. If you look, somebody's gaining on you, and that's sort of the way it is. You know you need to stay ahead of everything.''
The Iowa game hasn't been all that close either of the last two seasons. In 2010, the Hawkeyes won 37-6, handing Michigan State its only loss of that regular season. Last year, Michigan State jumped way ahead early and won 37-21.
Iowa (3-2, 1-0) opened conference play with a 31-13 win over Minnesota two weekends ago. The Hawkeyes are coming off an open date and are tied with Michigan atop the division - but they also lost last month to Central Michigan, a team Michigan State throttled 41-7.
Spartans running back Le'Veon Bell has run for 776 yards on 171 attempts - he's just 11 carries shy of last season's total.
``He's a very big guy and a powerful guy, yet he's mentally talented,'' Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. ``If you break down at all and somebody misses a gap to break down that kind of thing, he can really hurt you, and he can run with some speed too.''
Iowa may have found its own impressive running back in Mark Weisman, whose 217-yard performance was overshadowed in the loss to Central Michigan. He ran for 156 yards in the first half alone against Minnesota, and he'll have some help on Saturday since the starter he replaced, Damon Bullock, is back after missing nearly three games with a head injury.
Iowa quarterback James Vandenberg has completed 58.5 percent of his passes.
The Spartans are expected to be without tight end Dion Sims because of a sprained ankle, and Michigan State's receivers have struggled at times.
``It's no secret that injuries happen. It's no secret that sometimes people lose their spots and people get shuffled around,'' quarterback Andrew Maxwell said. ``You never hope for these things to happen or plan on these things happening, but everybody has been a part of the season where these things have happened and you have to adjust.''
Michigan State freshman Aaron Burbridge caught eight passes for 134 yards against Indiana in an increased role.
``Just like they got outplayed in the first half, they flipped it around in the second half and did what they needed to do to be successful,'' Ferentz said. ``And the other scary element of the deal is they had a freshman receiver step up and do some good things. Got to be a good feeling for them, I think.''
