Sunday, Nov. 8 THE AMAZING RACE (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT)While racing throughStockholm, one unlucky team faces a speed bump and, for the first time in the series' history, teams return to the site of an infamous roadblock. Phil Keoghan hosts.
CBS has just released a press bundle at www.cbspressexpress.com, and in a press release for the November Sweeps highlights, it included the following:QuoteSunday, Nov. 8 THE AMAZING RACE (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT)While racing throughStockholm, one unlucky team faces a speed bump and, for the first time in the series' history, teams return to the site of an infamous roadblock. Phil Keoghan hosts.Thus, we have confirmation that the leg in The Netherlands is a NEL.The press release itself is a Word document, so while I can link to it you have to download it and open it in MS Word,
Thanks Coutzy, if there is a gnome I suppose they could have left it in the car. So Tiffany and Maria are in 1st place? we see them leaving then arriving back at the windmill right? Dutch did not see them, I believe he saw some of the teams headed to the dyke's where the detours were, he saw Sam/Dan then Meghan/Cheyne then the Globetrotters. We know at one point Ericka and Brian were behind, as pointed out by Chateau it looks like only 5 vehicles at the windmill and we see Ericka and Brian's Volendam still on the hangers so..and then with Ericka's breakdown at the Roadblock it fits.Roadblockwindmill/ to detours >> Farmersgolf or Farmers dance (?)pitstop somewhere Groningen per CBS mapNEL/Brian/Ericka << unless Maria and Tiffany really screwed up headed to the pitstop then this is what I'm thinking if the above scenario does not play out that way.
DUTCH SAMEDHI SPOILERS:QuoteWhen they reached this point they stepped of their bycicle and followed the following routeQuoteAt the end point they had to do a brainteaser of some kind, because they stayed there for a while.
When they reached this point they stepped of their bycicle and followed the following route
At the end point they had to do a brainteaser of some kind, because they stayed there for a while.
I'm not trying to be too sneaky I only know that the shot of Brian & Ericka looking at the bell twoer was taken at the near end of the day. So, since I am stubbornly sticking with the idea that they arrive and have to wait for their cars to be available in the morning, that means this afternoon shot has to be after the dress-up/bike-ride and Detour part. I guess the bell tower does not have to be a Roadblock.So for me it's bell tower at the end of the leg. Now about that confessional ...
...........keeps looking for the confessional area zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I am going to try to estimate when teams released from the pit stop, then assess the probable flight combinations they will take.I have assigned the tasks and transportation involved in Ep. 6 (Dubai II) the following approximate durations (in minutes):Taxi to Dubai Creek 15 Rowing to Yacht and Back 30 except Tiffany 15 and Brian 45Open Briefcase 0 except for Herb/Nate 85Taxi to Old Souk Abra Station 15Walk to DETOURs 10 except for Sam/Dan who must have lost 15 minutes in transit and had about 25GOLD Detour Marie/Tiffany 5, Sam/Dan 5 orGLASS other 5 teams average maybe 60 except Mika/Canaan 30 Gary/Matt 75 and Brian/Ericka 120 due partly to trying both DETOURsTaxi to Atlantis Resort 15Walk to Leap of Faith 10Leap of Faith 5 except for Mika/Canaan 50Walk to Pit Stop 5TOTALS for Maria/Tiffany 1 hour 50 minutesTOTALS for Sam/Dan 2 hours 5 minutesTOTALS for Cheyne/Meghan, Gary/Matt 2 hours 45 minutesTOTALS for Brian/Ericka 3 hours 45 minutesTOTALS for Nate/Herb 4 hours 15 minutesTOTALS for Mika/Canaan 3 hours 0 minutesAdd in 12 hours for the pit stop between legs 6 and 7 you have this for release times (add 20 minutes to these to get to Dubai International Airport and 30 minutes minimum to book and board a flight):Cheyne/Meghan release around 1102pm July 28Maria/Tiffany release about 137am July 29Sam/Dan release about 139amBrian/Ericka release about 144amGary/Matt release about 145amNate/Herb arrive about 252amThat leads to the following implications for flights teams will get, assuming that the pit stop is 12 hours:Cheyne/Meghan can make the nonstop KL428 DXB AMS 0140 0600Maria/Tiffany, Sam/Dan, Brian/Ericka and Gary/Matt will just miss the Swiss connection through Zurich and they will get OS840 DXB VIE 0240 0605 connecting in Vienna to OS371 0720 0915.That leaves in deep trouble Nate/Herb, who can do no better than waiting for the nonstop KL430 DXB AMS 0800 1220.This is an anti-bunching approach, but I figure that sometime this race World Race Productions will give us just a glimpse of a real, non-bunched race (then take it all back by bunching for the remainder of AR15).
Open Briefcase 0 except for Herb/Nate 85The hood's definitely mad at them! Somehow, I think TAR is going to have yet another non-standard pit stop, and force them to take the 8:00 flight. Besides Phil getting ahead of everyone else, non-stop flights are cheaper.
gator27,If I were to make a generalization based on years as a travel agent, it would be that nonstop international flights are generally more expensive than connecting flights because passengers value the convenience.For the Amazing Race, I doubt that it matters, however, as I understand that the standard instructions to teams are to buy the Y class (or equivalent) for a given route. This is economy but with maximum flexibilty and the opportunity to have alterante flights endorsed by the alternate airline very quickly. These cost more than the least expensive economy class seats and there is one price irrespective of whether a flight is nonstop or connecting.
Chateau,Your criticisms are correct. I looked back at KL428 and saw that it landed early at 513am but I failed to note its much erarlier departure time than the information I had. However, so what? Cheyne/Meghan should have been able to get on it anyway, as they had 70 minutes to get to the airport, ticket and board. If they failed to make it then they would have gotten on the next best flight combination, which is AF525 DXB CDG 0125 0610 connecting in Paris to AF9270 CDG AMS 0735 0835. That cuts their arrival lead over the next teams to only 40 minutes.The point is that there is an array of flight options and foreclosing one does not alter the general approach. For Nate/Herb if KL430 was a days-of-the-week flight then and is now a MTWThSa flight, it only means that they have to take an earlier connecting flight and arrive 2.5 hours later. That would be Eqyptair (MS) 911 DXB CAI with actual schedule for Wednesday July 29 (since you insist) 0459 0727 connecting in Cairo with MS757 CAI AMS 1054 1436. There really isn't any time of day or night on the route Dubai to Amsterdam that a difference of almost 4 hours vs. Cheyne/Meghan would allow Nate/Herb to be on the same flight as Cheyne/Meghan. For the other 4 teams it is conceivable that Cheyne/Meghan were not able to get an earlier flight and they ended up bunched together, but I don't think this happened.

Governments at every level are under pressure to better serve digital and increasingly mobile citizens. Among the most pressing questions that they face: What do today's citizens want from digital and mobile services? What will these services look like? And how will governments deliver these services while also ensuring citizens' privacy and security?
The Accenture Public Services Digital Pulse Survey completed in November of 2014 provides crucial information to help government agencies tackle these questions. The survey offers results and insights needed to design a 21st-century approach to better serve a fast-changing population. One of the most important findings is that when delivered effectively, digital services are a powerful tool to improve citizens' perception of government. To achieve a successful e-government transformation, our research shows that best practice leaders determine citizens' needs and develop digital government solutions based on those preferences, enabling agencies to deliver public service for the future.

Blog: How Ford Plans to Phase Out E-Series Van
January 10, 2012 by RVBusiness · 1 Comment
The following is a posting by Jeff Sabatini on Autoblog reviewing Ford Motor Co.'s announced transition from the E-Series van to the Ford Transit, a popular European platform.
It is not often that an automaker decides to dump a best-selling vehicle line, one that's dominated its segment for decades. But Ford's commercial vehicle team is doing it not once, but twice. Ford had been phasing out its Panther platform for a good five years before it finally ceased production of its Crown Victoria taxi, Police Interceptor and Lincoln Town Car livery offerings in September. Now the company is set to do similarly with its E-Series van, which will eventually be replaced by Ford's Transit, the venerable European equivalent.
When the final Panthers rolled off the assembly line in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada, Ford was left with no direct replacement. Instead, the company plans to sell the compact Transit Connect van in the taxi market, upgraded Tauruses and Explorers as police cars, and a "Town Car" version of the Lincoln MKT crossover to livery operators. All things being equal, these are significantly better products than their Panther-based predecessors, yet in a commercial market where "change" is a four-letter word, Ford has a lot of explaining to do.
The company's transition from the E-Series to the Transit certainly seems simpler on the surface, as it's a model-for-model substitution, but that's not exactly the case. When it launches the North American Transit in 2013, Ford says the new van will be available in multiple body styles, with different roof heights and with multiple engine options, greatly expanding the choices available to its commercial customers. And those who just want to buy a plain, white E-Series will still be able to do so, as Ford will not be discontinuing the model, at least not initially.
"We have a transition plan," said Doug Scott, Ford Truck Group Marketing Manager, but he declined to specify how long Ford will continue to build the E-Series after the Transit goes on sale, saying only that selling both vehicles concurrently, "will give us enough time to prove out Transit and win [customers] over."
Scott did say the plan to phase out the E-Series was not sales-dependent, as Ford clearly does not want the E-Series to linger on like the Panther cars did. But Ford will actually continue to build the E-Series in chassis and cutaway cab form at its Ohio Assembly facility in Avon Lake in suburban Cleveland. This plant will be devoted entirely to commercial chassis production, with Ford's Super Duty F-650 and F-750, and F-53 and F-59 models also being produced there. The F-53 is primarily a Class A motorhome chassis; the E-Series chassis is also popular for motorhomes.
While the E-Series has been the best-selling commercial van in the U.S. for 32 years with over 8 million sold, the Transit has been similarly successful in Europe, where it's a best-seller both on the continent and in the U.K. Total Transit production has topped 6 million units, and it's sold around the world in many different configurations. Unlike the E-Series, it's a unibody vehicle, but with the flexibility to be offered in front-, rear- or all-wheel-drive. In Europe it has primarily been available with turbo-diesel engines, although for the U.S., Ford will certainly offer it with a gasoline engine. We are told that Ford has yet to decide which of its North American engines will be fitted under the hood, but that anything is possible, even a V8.
Ford says the transition to Transit makes sense for customers because the Transit will offer a 25% improvement in fuel economy, thanks in part to a roughly 300-pound weight savings, but without any sacrifice in durability or capability. By switching to a global platform, Ford expects to save money while being able to offer more frequent product refreshes, while also being better able to cope with increasing regulatory expenses.

Seconds after your brain registers that plus sign on the stick, the relentless questions begin: boy or girl? Who will baby look like? Are we really ready for this? Once baby arrives—and grows—those questions become much more pointed: When is my baby ready to sleep on her tummy, drink water, eat solids? Here's what you need to know to ease all that worrying.
Sleep: Safety First
FAST FACT: Even by his first birthday, baby will still be sleeping up to 14 hours a day. Here's how to keep him safe (and you sane).
Is My Baby Ready to...
... snooze on her tummy?
Babies should be put to bed on their backs to help prevent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Luckily, by the time your baby has the upper-body strength to roll over, at about 6 months, the risk of SIDS drops significantly. But that doesn't mean babies are ready to sleep on their stomachs. "Here's what I tell my patients: You should still put them down to sleep on their backs for the first year, but what babies do in the middle of the night is their business, and you can't control it," says Jennifer Shu, M.D., a pediatrician in Atlanta and co-author of Heading Home With Your Newborn.
... ditch the bumpers?
Actually, it's safest to skip them in the first place. We know, we know, those crib sets are pretty darn cute, but the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) warns against the use of pillows, pillowlike bumpers and any other kind of soft bedding, like a quilt, in the crib for fear of suffocation and an increased risk of SIDS. If you do use a bumper, make sure it is thin and well-secured to the crib slats. You should remove it when baby begins to stand so she can't use it as a step.
... sleep through the night?
As her stomach capacity grows she'll need less frequent feedings. By 3 months, most infants sleep seven or eight hours without waking. If this isn't the case in your household, try keeping her awake—and stimulated—longer in the afternoon and early evening.
Gear: On-the-Go
FAST FACT: Some cultures dictate that new moms not leave the house for a month after childbirth. Your pediatrician may advise the same to help keep baby away from germs. Regardless of when you both venture out, make sure you have the right gear to give baby a safe ride.
Is My Baby Ready to
... ride in a stroller?
If you envision frequent walks with your newborn, you need a stroller with a bassinet or one that fully reclines. She'll need to be able to sit up, at about 6 months, to ride in a lightweight umbrella-style stroller. Hold off on taking baby along for a run or bike ride until she is 1, says Ari Brown, M.D., co-author of Baby 411. "The ride can be quite bumpy for immature spine and neck muscles, especially going over rocky paths," she says. Keep in mind, too, that his neck won't be strong enough to support a helmet until his first birthday. The AAP offers the same advice about placing baby in a trailer that attaches to a bike. Always check the manufacturer's directions for more safety precautions.
... face forward in a car seat?
If you're asking this question before baby is 2 years old, the answer is no, according to the AAP. Even beyond that, a child should remain rear-facing until he maxes out the height or weight limits of his infant or convertible car seat. "If we all could travel facing backward, we'd be safer," says Dr. Shu. "As soon as you face the front, the chance of whiplash goes way up."
Food: The Road to Solids
FAST FACT: By your baby's first birthday, she will likely have tripled her birth weight. That's a lot of calories—and almost as many feeding questions. A few are answered here.
Is My Baby Ready to...
... chew crackers or bread?
This is the first step toward finger foods, after purées of cereals, fruits, vegetables and meats have been introduced. "By 9 months or a bit sooner, a baby is able to try all bready foods, as long as parents keep a close watch," says pediatrician and mom of three Jennifer Roche, M.D. Just keep pieces small, about the size of your pinky nail. If your tot is holding an entire cracker, be sure that she doesn't—ahem—bite off more than she can chew.
... drink water?
If your baby hasn't started solids yet (at about 6 months), talk to your doctor before giving him water. Not only do breast milk or formula provide all the water and nutrition a baby needs, too much water can dilute the sodium in the blood, which can result in brain swelling, unresponsiveness and seizures, says Alan Greene, M.D., pediatrician and author of Feeding Baby Green and Raising Baby Green. "Even if baby is dehydrated from diarrhea, his fluid losses should be replaced with breast milk, formula or perhaps a rehydration solution," he says. After 6 months, however, Dr. Greene encourages offering your baby up to 6 ounces of water a day. Ask your pediatrician what kind of water (tap or bottled) is best for your baby.
... try an "allergenic" food?
What was once labeled a food allergy may really just be a food sensitivity or intolerance. The AAP determined there is no evidence that delaying the introduction of common allergens (cow's milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat and soy) helps prevent reactions. While you should always get the go-ahead from your pediatrician anyway, a child without a family history of allergies should be able to eat tiny pieces of all these foods as soon as she's eating table foods (usually between 6 months and 1 year). Products made from pastuerized whole milk, such as cottage cheese, yogurt and tiny pieces of soft cheese are OK to try, just hold off on cow's milk until she's 1. If a parent or sibling has any kind of allergy or your child has had a previous reaction, your pediatrician may want to delay the introduction of some of these foods, possibly until age 3.
Play: A Playground Primer
FAST FACT: Your mobile baby is bursting through her milestones. You want to keep her stimulated, but when is she ready to leave the support of the Boppy and join the big leagues outside?
Is My Baby Ready to...
... play in the sandbox?
Everything your baby picks up goes straight in his mouth, right? Dr. Roche takes a relaxed approach. "Try not to let him swallow whole mouthfuls of the stuff or rub his eyes, and wash his hands afterward," she says. If yours does ingest a bit of sand, offer him water—and hope he remembers how yucky it was the next time he's tempted. (Don't be surprised by a sandy poop.)
... hit the playground?
Bucket swings rock and, surprisingly, so does climbing up a slide (the small one, of course). Match the activity to your baby's motor skills and the size of the equipment. Once she's able to sit on her own—usually by 6 months—she'll probably enjoy a gentle ride in a bucket swing. If she's a pretty good climber and walker, she'll likely be able to go down a small slide by herself by the time she's 18 months.

- Friday at the Wayne County Fair held the privilege of hosting Dave White, who has been the chief of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and undersecretary of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the past three years.
In his role with NRCS, he oversees programs that protect our environment while preserving our natural resources through voluntary, private lands conservation.
White made a stop at the fair "at the invite of Dave Williams." Interestingly, he said the visit seemed appropriate because "it is the 150th for the Wayne County Fair and for the USDA as well."
Originally from Missouri, White was happy to be back in the county fair spirit. "My mom is 98-years-old and she still has all of her ribbons from canning and quilting."
White discussed some of the pride he felt in the area farmers by noting that "a lot of farmers in Wayne County are dedicated conservationists," which is important in the overall goal of the NRCS.
Keeping agriculture going, while not having negative environmental impacts, is important to White.
"By 2050," he said, "the population is expected to reach 9 billion." The result of this inevitable increase is "food production must increased 60 to 70 percent."
A characteristic of farmers in Wayne County that did not go unnoticed was that farmers here are conscious of conservation.
One of the "great challenges" that agriculture faces, White said, is how to continue "and still have a clean environment." Another is how to begin to meet the food needs of that expected 9 billion population mark.
White also feels "if we prepare for the future, we can ensure agriculture stays healthy" while protecting the current resources.
"We need to make sure those future Americans still enjoy [the resources] that we do today."
White also remarked, while standing in the livestock barn, how "nice it is to see young kids here showing" their animals. "It gives me hope in the next generation."
Williams, a national television personality based in Honesdale, also interviewed White for his show. The interview will air in on RTD-TV and Rural-TV in the future.

text: The art of hockey emerges during Shrine retreat News Home 10.03.13 By: Mark Tarnacki Eight wonderfully detailed miniature hockey rinks on display in front of the Ross Sports Center trophy cases recently elicited delighted smiles and appreciative "wows" from passers-by. Chris Donovan, Saint Michael's women's ice hockey coach, says he came up with the idea of having his players break into groups to design and build the mini-rinks as a bonding activity during a weekend team retreat in September at the freshly constructed/renovated facilities of St. Anne's Shrine in the Champlain Islands, run by the Society of Saint Edmund. Personalities and backgrounds of the team members shine through in each original creation. For instance, it wasn't hard to figure out which group had an engineering major, or which players had more whimsical sensibilities in constructing their mini-masterpieces from only foam board, cellophane, pins and pointed wooden sticks - and a lot of teamwork and imagination. "When I saw how far they took it, I was just kind of blown away," Coach Donovan said. "They're beautiful." Meaghan Leong of Cohasset, MA, an electrical engineering major and junior goalie, helped her group engineer players who were movable by lever action in the manner of a table hockey game to populate their "ice," and the group used a cantilever design to suspend a "scoreboard." One rink was inspired by the hockey movie "Mystery, Alaska" and had the delicate fantasy feel of a winter wonderland in a Japanese garden, with snow on mini-shrubs surrounding the playing surface, which featured a mellow blue tint. Two rinks featured little Zambonis - one yellow, one black - each with Saint Michael's logos. Others had detailed colored advertising for real-life brands along the boards. A particularly imaginative touch on one rink was a "crowd" of pin-people, while some others had empty but still impressive seating areas as part of the design. Most included creative scoreboards either suspended over the center or off to the side. One of the more elaborate of these was created from a box that held souvenir Shrine mugs that team members received from their weekend host, Father Brian Cummings SSE, director of Edmundite Campus Ministry. It was primarily Cummings who oversaw development of the new retreat facility, which he hopes will have regular use from campus groups. The facility now has comfortable heated cabins for visitors, dining facilities and meeting halls, along with its breathtaking lakeside location on Isle LaMotte. "The facility was tremendous," says Donovan. "You can relax but also get things accomplished because it's so quiet." The groups created their rinks in just under 4 hours, he said. "They're hockey players and have played on a rink for 10, 12, 14 years, but they've probably never thought about what goes into putting a hockey rink together," he said. Donovan was most pleased by the way his players worked together to achieve a common goal with each person having a meaningful role. "On our team we have science majors, business majors, journalism majors, and as time goes on you see the emergence of their personalities and it's great to see," he said. Women's ice hockey hits the ice for roster-setting tryouts and practices starting Oct. 15, and has its first game Nov. 2 in Potsdam.

AGF Management Limited (TSX:AGF.B) presently has a current ratio of 1.45. The current ratio, also known as the working capital ratio, is a liquidity ratio that displays the proportion of current assets of a business relative to the current liabilities. The ratio is simply calculated by dividing current liabilities by current assets. The ratio may be used to provide an idea of the ability of a certain company to pay back its liabilities with assets. Typically, the higher the current ratio the better, as the company may be more capable of paying back its obligations.
Investors may be searching for various types of stocks to help diversify the portfolio. Growth stocks include shares of companies that may have the possibility of generating higher than average profit growth and revenues. These companies tend to pump earnings back into the business, and they generally expand quicker than the overall economy. Although growth stocks can be a bit riskier, they can also provide a higher level of reward down the line. Cyclical stocks consist of companies that typically will ride the wave of the overall economy. These shares tend to perform well when the economy is doing well and perform poorer when the economy is faltering.
We can now take a quick look at some historical stock price index data. AGF Management Limited (TSX:AGF.B) presently has a 10 month price index of 0.76418. The price index is calculated by dividing the current share price by the share price ten months ago. A ratio over one indicates an increase in share price over the period. A ratio lower than one shows that the price has decreased over that time period. Looking at some alternate time periods, the 12 month price index is 0.65140, the 24 month is 0.89034, and the 36 month is 1.39467. Narrowing in a bit closer, the 5 month price index is 0.76662, the 3 month is 0.88566, and the 1 month is currently 1.10158.

Many investors are concerned with the proper portfolio diversification. Stock portfolio diversification entails spreading the investment dollars around to help minimize risk. When investors are creating a portfolio, they may be looking to add a combination of growth, value, income, dividend, and foreign stocks. They may also be spreading out stock picks among various industries. Keeping a mix of stocks that perform differently under certain market conditions can help keep the portfolio afloat when the environment shifts. Holding a few large positions in a small number stocks may lead to trouble if the market turns sour and stock prices decline drastically.
AGF Management Limited (TSX:AGF.B) currently has a Montier C-score of 1.00000. This indicator was developed by James Montier in an attempt to identify firms that were cooking the books in order to appear better on paper. The score ranges from zero to six where a 0 would indicate no evidence of book cooking, and a 6 would indicate a high likelihood. A C-score of -1 would indicate that there is not enough information available to calculate the score. Montier used six inputs in the calculation. These inputs included a growing difference between net income and cash flow from operations, increasing receivable days, growing day's sales of inventory, increasing other current assets, decrease in depreciation relative to gross property plant and equipment, and high total asset growth.

Tommy Madriaga, 34, remains free on $100,000 bond on the condition he has no contact with the former girlfriend. The protective order also prohibits him from calling her or sending her emails, and Madriaga must stay at least 100 yards away from her, according to court records.
The prosecutor will not seek more than three years in state prison, although the maximum sentence is five years. San Diego Superior Court Judge Laura Halgren agreed to consider a sentence with probation and up to one year in jail.
The plea agreement also conveys the judge will consider a sentence of work furlough if Madriaga is eligible for it. Work-furlough sentences allow defendants to go to work during the day and remain locked up in a facility at night and on weekends.
Madriaga admitted he "inflicted corporal injury upon my girlfriend with whom I was cohabitating." He also admitted he used his car to assault the police officer, whom the then-girlfriend was trying to get help from.
Halgren dismissed other counts that included vandalism, dissuading a witness, hit and run, and evading officers. The victim was reportedly choked and her head hit the dashboard inside Madriaga's car after they left a party at 12:15 a.m. at a hotel.
The then-girlfriend saw a police officer at Loring and Lamont streets and ran for help, prompting Madriaga to ram the patrol car with his own vehicle. Officers located him at a motel in Pacific Beach.

text: I am doing a simulation of rigid body dynamics system. The system is a collection of particles bouncing back and forth in a containing geometry like a cube. The positions of particles are computed in CPU and then I use OpenGL to display them. There are two ways to use OpenGL. One is the old immediately mode (or fixed-function mode) in which I transfer the positions calculated to GPU once I finished computing them. Another way is the recent version of OpenGL which stores the array of particle positions in GPU and I only need to transfer parameters like camera angle. I tried to use recent version of OpenGL because I like using new versions. But I cannot see the benefit of this because I still have to transfer computed positions to GPU, so I cannot convince myself (and other people) that using newer version of OpenGL pipeline is a better choice. Can you help me with this question, i.e., what is the benefit I can enjoy by using recent version of OpenGL, instead of the old immediate mode, when simulating a rigid (or soft) body particle system in which positions of particles are computed in CPU? Thank you.

Favorite Illustrators- Christopher Denise
I thought I would post about one of my favorite illustrators today, Christopher Denise.
Christopher works wonders in my opinion.... His characters are not only adorable and endearing but also very much alive in his skecthes as well as in his books.
Light, atmosphere, movement and telling of time are always present in his work.
One of the things I admire the most about his work is how his settings are like characters in a book. They are always powerful and important and play a mayor role in his work. I find his art to be so beautiful and theatrical, like a little masterpiece hold together in between covers of a book.
Visit his website to see more of his work. He also has a blog filled with sketches and beautiful art for you to drool over. I know I do every time I visit. :o)

The East Hampton Airport could be self-sustaining without Federal Aviation Administration funding, with enough income over the next five years to take on additional debt enabling needed capital repairs, an airport finance subcommittee reported to the East Hampton Town Board on Tuesday.
Acceptance of federal funds has been a key issue in discussions of the airport, as has the impact of the town's contractual agreement with the F.A.A. upon taking the money, and its effect on the ability to institute local regulations aimed at minimizing airport noise.
"People have said the airport would fall apart if we don't take F.A.A. funds," said Supervisor Larry Cantwell after hearing the report. "This report shows that that is not true. It shows that we can finance the airport, we can keep it safe . . . and we can do that for some period of time without taking F.A.A. funds."
Until now, the debate had pitted those urging the town to seek more autonomy from the F.A.A. against pilots and others arguing that without federal funds the airport would fall into disrepair and perhaps be forced to close.
Representatives of both sides were appointed to the airport finance subcommittee.
After three months of extensive research and analysis of airport income and expenses, including examination of various operating scenarios to determine if capital would be available to repay bonds issued for improvement projects, the committee was unanimous in its determination.
Based on continued growth of revenue and expense at rates approximately equal to the last five years — and even if revenues from landing fees were to decrease because of a curfew or reduction in helicopter traffic — the group concluded that there would be enough income to borrow at least $4.35 million this year, and up to at least $5.1 million within the coming five years.
Should the status quo continue (if there is no reduction in revenue from fees), the airport would bring in enough money to borrow up to $8.5 million within five years, Peter Wadsworth, a member of the committee, told the town board.
"Without addressing any airport policy issues, we wanted everybody to be working from the same data," said Arthur Malman, chairman of the town's budget and finance committee. The subcommittee's findings, he said, will help the board to weigh the impact of airport operation and policy decisions.
Mr. Cantwell remarked on the unprecedented agreement among the various interests represented by committee members, saying their unanimity was "to their credit, and the credit of this committee. I couldn't be more pleased that that's happened."
"Now, that doesn't mean that there won't be blood on the floor with respect to other airport issues," he added quickly, referring to the longtime controversies. But, he said, "You've started a new beginning here."
Councilwoman Kathee Burke-Gonzalez, who became the town board's airport liaison upon taking office in January, took a new approach in appointing the two-headed financial analysis group and also two separate advisory committees, the one opposing noise and the other representing aviation interests. Those groups are engaged in other fact-finding missions, and will be making their own reports to the board.

It wasn't until Angus Richardson — along with his brothers Hamish and Fergus — left Australia to come to America that he began playing bagpipes professionally.
"We attended a high school in Bathurst, Australia, and played in its bagpipe band," Richardson says. "We grew up playing pipes, but we also had a rock band we called The Missing Links ... until we learned there was an American band with that name."
Richardson doesn't play the pipes in any traditional sense, he says. BROTHER — now with Drew Reid on didgeridoo and keys and L.A.-based percussionist Dalbo Allen — mixes modern with ancient for a sound that merely reflects Celtic and Australian tribal influences.
Along with the Scottish Highland pipes, Richardson also plays a Fender Telecaster, and "Didgeridrew" brings electronic loops and whistles to the mix.
BROTHER will perform at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 2, at Jackson WellSprings, 2253 Rogue Valley Highway 99 N., Ashland. Local drummer Michael St. John will sit in for Allen. Tickets for the all-ages show cost $10 in advance and can be purchased at www.brownpapertickets.com. Tickets will cost $15 at the door. The Novelists, an acoustic folk band from Reno, Nev., will open the show, and local Americana troubadour Alec Dickinson also will take the stage.
"Most of our music has Celtic themes running through it," Richardson says. "The didg' droning is a big part."
Reid already was tuned into the Celtic music scene when he was introduced to BROTHER.
"He walked out of a record store in Boulder and heard the sound of bagpipes and didgeridoo," Richardson says. "He followed the sound around the corner and found us playing on the street. He'd just bought a didg', and he got his first lesson from Hamish. After that, we'd see him on the road regularly, and he'd get on stage with us and jam.
"He's become a vital part of the band, bringing keyboards, sampling and electronics to the sound. The band became more Celtic, Australian tribal, hypnotic and trancey."
When brothers Angus, Hamish and Fergus Richardson first recorded and performed as a rock band in Los Angeles, they found lucrative work as street buskers.
"We got out a didgeridoo, bagpipes and a big, drum kit and played outside the Hollywood Bowl, the Los Angeles Music Center, Universal CityWalk and Venice Beach.
"That paid the rent for awhile and helped us develop our Celtic, tribal sound," Richardson says.
The new sound resonated with the brothers and caught on with audiences. BROTHER began playing at festivals around the country. The band's sound continued to evolve after Hamish and Fergus left the group. With Reid and Allen on board, the band kept the didgeridoo and the pipes, and brought its music into modern times.
"It's been great for us," Richardson says. "We've kept the basic elements and traditional resonance of the didg' and the pipes, but we're going to a whole new place. It's very celebratory, and it appeals to people of all ages."
Richardson's writing is evolving to another place as well, he says. As the principal lyricist and composer, his newest song is "Give Me Some Love (Not 1984)."
"I read the book in high school, and I never believed anything like it could happen," he says. "But now that I'm a father, I'm wondering what kind of world we're going to leave our kids."
The first part of the song's video was shot in a New York City subway and barber shop; the second part was recorded on the railroad tracks near his home in Ashland.
"It's not yet released to radio," Richardson says. "Though we've unofficially released it to our fans. It's getting great response."
BROTHER — tonight at WellSprings
It wasn't until Angus Richardson — along with his brothers Hamish and Fergus — left Australia to come to America that he began playing bagpipes professionally.

Facility Name: Mavericks Sports Club and Cinema 3
Location: Moorpark, CA
Opened: 2003
Square Footage: 28,000 square feet
In a Former Life: An eight-plex cinema
Cost of Renovation: About $2.5 million, not including the construction of the pool
Fun Fact: On a Friday afternoon, club patrons can smell the popcorn being made in the movie theater while running on the treadmill.
In early 2002, the owner of the 20-year-old eight-plex movie theater in the small town of Moorpark, CA, filed for bankruptcy and shut the theater's doors. However, the building got two new lives in 2002, when Epic Enterprises purchased the building, upgraded three of the theaters to the latest movie specs and stadium seating, and converted the other five theaters into a 28,000-square-foot health club. The three theaters opened in December 2002, and the health club opened in June 2003.
Mavericks Sports Club and Cinema 3, which is situated in a strip mall, features cardio and strength training areas, locker rooms, group exercise, spinning and yoga rooms, child care and offices. During the multi-million dollar renovation project, Epic Enterprises added a 9,000-square-foot mezzanine and constructed two swimming pools, an outdoor children's play area and a locker room building. The company also integrated the existing lobby and men's and women's bathrooms into the health club.
To convert part of the cinema into a club, the construction crew gutted five of the theaters and poured a new foundation.
"They were the regular, old-fashioned theaters, and while they didn't have stadium seating, there was a slight incline, so everything had to be leveled," says Joey Cappucino, managing partner and vice president of the club.
In March 2007, Cappuccino and Shelley Jensen purchased the facility from the owners. Although the club is no longer part of the Mavericks chain of clubs, which has six locations in five other California towns, it has retained the name Mavericks.
Perhaps the biggest design challenge involved devising a way to divide the flow of traffic between the health club and the movie theater, which share the same lobby. To control the influx of visitors and to keep movie patrons from accidentally wandering into the health club, the owners positioned a check-in desk in the middle of the lobby. The left doors are for patrons who want to work out at the health club. The right doors are for patrons who want to see a movie.
So far, the business has been an effective way to serve the families in Moorpark, a town that has grown from 18,000 people to 42,000 people during the past 15 years, Cappucino says. The club has 3,000 members, and the theater has about 6,000 patrons a month.
"If we didn't have this complex, our town wouldn't have a movie theater or a gym," he says. "This allows us to keep everything running under the same roof."

I will describe the relationship between radiated energy and entanglement entropy of massless fields at future null infinity (the "Page curve") in two-dimensional models of black hole evaporation. I will use this connection to derive a general feature of any unitary-preserving evaporation scenario: the Bondi mass of the hole must be non-monotonic. Time permitting, I will comment on time scales in such scenarios.

Fiscal Institute
SSDI Solutions Initiative
The McCrery-Pomeroy SSDI Solutions Initiative is dedicated to identifying practical policy changes to improve the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and other services to people with disabilities. Launched in 2015, the initiative solicited ideas in a number of areas related to the program, leading to a conference that brought together more than 150 experts, advocates, policymakers and other stakeholders. These efforts culminated in publication of a book – SSDI Solutions: Ideas to Strengthen the Social Security Disability Insurance Program – presenting recommendations on how to ensure that the SSDI program best serves those with disabilities, those who pay into the program, and the economy as a whole. The initiative launched a new phase in April of 2018 that continues to explore ways to improve this important program.
Better Budget Process Initiative
There is a growing consensus that the budget process is broken. Deadlines are missed, controls circumvented, gimmicks employed, and the long-term ignored. The Better Budget Process Initiative aims to address this problem through concrete ideas to reform and improve the way the budget is developed, including placing greater focus on the long-term fiscal outlook, dealing with the debt limit, strengthening statutory budget enforcement, revising the content and structure of the Congressional budget resolution, biennial budgeting, and addressing the treatment of tax expenditures.
"Fix the System" Initiative
For many years, public opinion polls have shown a growing frustration with Washington's inability to address a range of issues on which the public is demanding action, including on fiscal and economic policy. Many scholars suggest that our political system has reached historically high levels of dysfunction and division, with political scientists in broad agreement that current levels of polarization are among the highest since the post-Civil War reconstruction period. The "Fix the System" Initiative convenes a variety of stakeholders, including political reform advocates and experts, political scientists, thought leaders, former Members of Congress, and business leaders and others, to examine the causes of our state of affairs, and what types of solutions could help change the incentives in the political system to better allow for progress on important policy issues. For more information, contact Mike Murphy, Chief of Staff, at email@example.com.
American Health Care Initiative
American Health Care: Rethinking the Challenges, Opportunities and Possibilities is a collaborative initiative between the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and the Concerned Actuaries Group dedicated to informing the public, policymakers, and key stakeholders regarding the fiscal and managerial challenges confronting our health care system. This effort seeks to encourage a broader and more informed discussion about why the system is costly and not working to maximum capacity.

Budgeting for the Next Generation
Budgeting for the Next Generation reviews federal programs for children and assesses how our youth fare in the federal budget and the budget process. Papers and other products published in this series show that federal spending on children comprises a relatively small and declining share of the budget despite the needs of the population and the economic benefits of investing in future generations, as rising adult entitlements and debt service payments crowd out this spending. Future publications will also explore how changes to the budget process could improve outcomes for children.

Habitable zone, the orbital region around a star in which an Earth-like planet can possess liquid water on its surface and possibly support life. Liquid water is essential to all life on Earth, and so the definition of a habitable zone is based on the hypothesis that extraterrestrial life would share this requirement. This is a very conservative (but observationally useful) definition, as a planet's surface temperature depends not only on its proximity to its star but also on such factors as its atmospheric greenhouse gases, its reflectivity, and its atmospheric or oceanic circulation. Moreover, internal energy sources such as radioactive decay and tidal heating can warm a planet's surface to the melting point of water. These energy sources can also maintain subsurface reservoirs of liquid water, so a planet could contain life without being within its star's habitable zone. Earth, for instance, has a thriving subsurface biosphere, albeit one that is composed almost exclusively of simple organisms that can survive in oxygen-poor environments. Jupiter's moon Europa has a liquid water ocean tens of kilometres below its surface that may well be habitable for some organisms.
About 40 planets, including the nearest extrasolar planet, Proxima Centauri b, and three planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system, have been found that are both roughly Earth-sized and orbiting within the habitable zones of their stars. Astronomers have also used simulations of the climates of other extrasolar planets such as Kepler-452b to determine that they could have surface water under the right climatic conditions.
The inner boundary of a habitable zone is where water would be lost as a result of a runaway greenhouse effect, in which greenhouse gases in a planet's atmosphere would trap incoming infrared radiation, leading to the planet's becoming hotter and hotter until the water boiled away. The outer boundary is where such greenhouse warming would not be able to maintain surface temperatures above freezing anywhere on the planet. Astronomers have calculated the extent of the habitable zone for many different types of stars. For example, at present, the habitable zone of the Sun is estimated to extend from about 0.9 to 1.5 astronomical units (the distance between Earth and the Sun).
The location of a star's habitable zone depends upon its luminosity. Because a star's luminosity increases with time, both the inner and outer boundaries of its habitable zone move outward. Thus, a planet that is in the habitable zone when a star is young may subsequently become too hot. Venus may have been such a planet; however, because it is geologically active, its current surface is too young to show any evidence that a more clement climate may have existed billions of years ago. Other planets could be too cold for liquid water to exist when their star is young but might warm up enough to have liquid water on their surface later as their star's luminosity increases. This may happen to Mars a few billion years hence. Thus, the most promising region to find Earth-like life would be in a "continuously habitable zone," where liquid water could have been present from early in the star's life up to the current epoch. The continuously habitable zone of the Sun (from four billion years ago to the present) is from about 0.9 to 1.2 astronomical units.
Changes in the Sun's habitable zone
Earth has had liquid water on its surface for much of the past four billion years. However, four billion years ago the Sun's luminosity was only about 75 percent as intense as it is at present, and climate models suggest that Earth should have been frozen over at such a low solar luminosity. This apparent disagreement between theory and observation is known as the "faint young Sun problem." Another planet to which the faint young Sun problem might apply is Mars. On that planet the oldest regions of the surface show signs of running water while younger regions do not, which suggests that Mars had a warmer and thicker atmosphere in the past, when the Sun was less luminous, than it has now that the Sun is brighter. The warmth of Earth and Mars during their early periods (and thus the solution to the faint young Sun problem) can be attributed to the presence of abundant greenhouse gases in their atmospheres, with carbon dioxide, water, and possibly ammonia and methane playing major roles.
Habitable zones for high- and low-mass stars
The location of a star's habitable zone also depends upon its mass. Smaller stars like the Sun survive far longer than do high-mass stars. High-mass stars have lifetimes of only millions of years, whereas advanced life took billions of years to develop on Earth. Thus, even if Earth-like planets formed around high-mass stars at distances where liquid water was stable, it is unlikely that benign conditions would exist long enough on these planets for life to form and evolve into advanced organisms.
At the other end of the mass spectrum, the smallest, faintest stars can last for trillions of years. However, these cool dwarf stars emit almost all of their luminosity at infrared wavelengths, which may be difficult for life to harness, and they typically display larger luminosity variations than do Sun-type stars. In addition, in order for a planet to remain within the habitable zone of a faint star, it would have to orbit so close that tidal forces raised on the planet would cause the same hemisphere always to face the star (just as the Moon's near side always faces Earth). As a result, there would be no day-night cycle, and the planet's atmosphere, unless it was sufficiently thick, would freeze onto the surface of the cold, perpetually dark hemisphere. (However, if the planet had a sufficiently massive atmosphere, winds would redistribute heat and the atmosphere would not freeze.) Moreover, the high temperatures within the habitable zones of faint stars suggest that such planets are likely to lack the atmospheric gases required by life.
Galactic habitable zone
The concept of a stellar habitable zone has been extended to a planet's location in the Milky Way Galaxy. Near the centre of the Milky Way, stars are typically much closer to one another than they are farther out on the spiral arms, where the Sun is located. At the galactic centre, therefore, phenomena such as supernovae might present a greater hazard to life than they would in the region where Earth is located. On the other hand, in the outer regions of the Milky Way beyond the location of Earth, there are fewer stars. Since the bulk of a terrestrial planet is composed of chemical elements that were produced within stars, the material out of which new stars are being formed may not have enough of those elements necessary for Earth-like planets to grow. Considerations of this type have led to the concept of a galactic habitable zone, analogous to a stellar habitable zone. The concept of a galaxy's habitable zone may well be viable, but the extent and boundaries of such a region are far more difficult to quantify than those of a star's habitable zone.

1 dead, 1 injured in Greenwich fire
Investigation underway: Police not calling blaze arson
An intentionally set fire killed a 42-year-old man and critically injured a 69-year-old handicapped woman Tuesday morning in their Old Greenwich home, police said.
Neighbors identified the victims as Dean Verboven and his mother, Barbara Verboven. Barbara Verboven remains in critical condition in the burn unit at Bridgeport Hospital, after being initially transported to Greenwich Hospital.
The fire broke out at about 7 a.m. at 46 Havemeyer Lane, police and fire officials said.
Speaking at a news conference at the police station in the afternoon, Police Lt. Kraig Gray said a preliminary investigation determined that the fire was set, but stopped short of using the term arson. He said the fire is being investigated by a joint team of police and firefighters.
Gladys Pardo, who lives next door to Verbovens with her husband, John, said she was sitting at her computer at about 7 a.m. when she saw smoke and flames coming from the window next door.
She screamed to her husband that there was a fire and got out of their house, which is only a few feet away from their neighbors.
When firefighters arrived, Gladys Pardo said she directed them to the ground-floor bedroom of Barbara Verboven, who she said has been wheelchair-bound for about five years. The Pardos and another neighbor, Robert Meehan, directed firefighters to look for a second occupant, at which point they found Dean Verboven and brought him out of the house about five minutes later, Meehan said.
After hearing the firefighters arriving on scene, Meehan said, "I came out and saw the house fully engulfed in smoke."
Meehan said that Dean Verboven was placed in an ambulance, which sat for about five minutes before driving away.
Gray said he did not know if the man had been declared dead on the scene.
Greenwich Fire Chief Peter Siecienski said heavy fire gutted part of the first floor of the house where the two had their bedrooms, and smoke caused heavy damage to the second floor.
Assistant Fire Chief Bob Kick said the state fire marshal's office brought a dog to the scene. The dogs are typically used to search for accelerants, Kick said.
The last fire-related fatality in Greenwich occurred in 2006, according to Kick, who commended firefighters on their work at the Havemeyer Lane scene.
"They did a good job," he said Tuesday night. "They got in there quickly."
A Greenwich police crime scene investigation truck arrived on scene shortly after 9 a.m., and a large section of Havemeyer Lane around MacArthur Drive was closed for several hours while numerous police and firefighters conducted their investigation.
Gray said that the house was "cluttered" and its condition had an effect on the ability of firefighters to get in and pull the residents outside. Both victims were brought out of the rear of the house, neighbors said.
Sixty firefighters from Sound Beach, Cos Cob, North Street and Glenville responded to the 7:10 a.m. call, Siecienski said.
The Pardos said they had been neighbors of the Verbovens for more than 30 years.
"They were a very nice family... This is heartbreaking," said Gladys Pardo.
"It is so hard for me to believe he is dead. He was 8 years old when we moved in," said John Pardo.
Gladys Pardo said that she saw Dean Verboven two days ago, but it has been two years since she saw Barbara Verboven.
Up until recent times, "They were a very outgoing family," Gladys said about the Verbovens.
