Below is the court process for an Ontario SPCA Inspector/Agent in prosecuting an animal cruelty charge.
Collecting evidence
When an Ontario SPCA Inspector/Agent receives a complaint that an animal is being neglected or abused, he or she sets out to examine the situation and relieve the animal of its distress. When the Inspector/Agent has collected what is believed to be sufficient information to pursue a criminal charge under the Criminal Code of Canada, he or she may consult with a Crown Attorney before laying a charge. The Inspector/Agent may also make charges under provincial legislation, including the Ontario SPCA Act, or utilize provisions within miscellaneous provincial laws outside of the Act including the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act (related to the suffering of wildlife).
Laying a charge
In the case of a provincial or federal charge, the Inspector/Agent then takes the evidence to a Justice of the Peace and swears out an "information" (an official court document), which includes a summons for the accused. The alleged animal abuser is served with the summons, which details the accusation and gives a date for a court appearance. Next, the Inspector/Agent prepares a Crown Brief, which advises what information is available to be called as evidence against the accused. This brief will be disclosed to the accused person.
In the courts
At the first appearance date, the court may set the matter down to a future date to allow the accused more time to consult with a lawyer. If the accused chooses to enter a "not guilty" plea, a date will be set for a trial, at which time witnesses will be subpoenaed to provide their evidence to the court.
The verdict
Under The Ontario SPCA Act, a person could receive up to a $60,000 fine, imprisonment for a term of not more than two years, or to both and could also receive a lifetime ban from owning an animal.

Hi MathsIsFun,
The page on probability and chances is well made.
The inferences drawn are interesting. The page is error free, I think.

Must a surface obtained by exponentiating a plane in a tangent space of a Riemannian manifold be geodesically convex?
The one dimensional geodesic submanifolds of a given Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ are just geodesics. So one can can wonder, how to construct 2-dimensional geodesic submanifolds. Lets first consider the following question:
Given any point $x\in M$ and a two dimensional subspace of $V\subset T_xM$. Then the exponential map restricted to a sufficiently small ball around $0\in V$ gives an embedding of the open disc into $M$. When is it a geodesic submanifold?
Note that there are many spaces, that have this property at every point and at every tangent plane, like $\mathbb{S}^n,\mathbb{H}^n,\mathbb{R}^n$ and (if I am not mistaken) products of those. So one can also ask:
What properties must the metric $g$ have to ensure, that at every point $x\in M$ and at every two dimensional subspace $V\subset T_xM$ the exponential map $B_\varepsilon(0)\subset V\rightarrow M$ gives locally geodesic surfaces?
A "general" manifold should not have this property I think. It would be nice to have a simple and short counterexample.

Cite as "AILA InfoNet Doc. No. 14013030 (posted Jan. 30, 2014)"
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, the House of Representatives' Republican leadership released a set of standards related to immigration reform. AILA President Doug Stump responded:
"The release of these standards is a much needed sign of movement. While the principles articulated are vague, and amenable to any number of meanings, they show some promise of a willingness to look at our existing system and work across the aisle to find ways to fix it. We are encouraged that House Republicans see a need to bring those living undocumented in the U.S. out of the shadows, and that they wish to reform the legal immigration system, the dysfunction of which has been the primary factor in illegal immigration.
"We look forward to working with the House to ensure that the result of these efforts is something that benefits America. Our approach must recognize economic and human realities. This is not a matter of trading one set of humans for another: economic needs must be met, but the family values that serve as the core of our national values must also be retained.
"The most significant advance is the recognition in these standards that our policy cannot be one of mass deportations-that those people here who are not dangers to the community should have the opportunity to clean up their statuses and live within the mainstream of our society. It is important that this be achieved in a way that does not create the second-tier underclass that has plagued other countries whose laws have prevented full integration of people otherwise living and working legally in their midst. We can avoid that here by ensuring that our laws do not pose a barrier to eventual naturalization, either overtly or by benign neglect, for anyone participating in legalization.
"For those who seek to enter the U.S. now and in the future, as well as those seeking to legalize, our legal immigration system must be fixed. These standards acknowledge that need, and acknowledge the need for more green cards to fuel the economy. Much needs to be done to fill in the details that will mean the difference between viable legislation and a prescription for deeper dysfunction. Zero-sum is not the answer. The answer lies in capturing the needs of all segments of our economy, and in ensuring that families remain strong and unified.
"Enforcement is a necessary element of any reform effort, but we should recognize that current enforcement already is at historic highs. Further, enforcement must be federal, not local, and must take into account the factors that occur in life and anticipate the kinds of mistakes that our overly complex system sometimes creates. We hope that some of the harsh rhetoric in these standards does not overtake the need for fairness in our system. Our borders must be secure. Employment verification must be effective. But the human element must never be forgotten.
"So let's take these standards as an opening and see what kind of real legislation comes from them. Poll after poll shows that our country doesn't want to see more hostile bills on immigration; we want to see bipartisan, common-sense legislation that converts the undocumented into full participants in our society, reforms the legal immigration system, and makes for effective and humane enforcement and border security," concluded Mr. Stump.
The American Immigration Lawyers Association is the national association of immigration lawyers established to promote justice, advocate for fair and reasonable immigration law and policy, advance the quality of immigration and nationality law and practice, and enhance the professional development of its members.

Henny Penny
Henny Penny, more commonly known in the United States as Chicken Little and sometimes as Chicken Licken, is a European folk tale with a moral in the form of a cumulative tale about a chicken who believes the world is coming to an end. The phrase "The sky is falling!" featured prominently in the story, and has passed into the English language as a common idiom indicating a hysterical or mistaken belief that disaster is imminent. Versions of the story go back more than 25 centuries;[1] it continues to be referred to in a variety of media.
The story and its nameEdit
The story is listed as Aarne-Thompson-Uther type 20C, which includes international examples of folktales that make light of paranoia and mass hysteria.[2] There are several Western versions of the story, of which the best-known concerns a chick that believes the sky is falling when an acorn falls on its head. The chick decides to tell the King and on its journey meets other animals (mostly other fowl) which join it in the quest. After this point, there are many endings. In the most familiar, a fox invites them to its lair and then eats them all. Alternatively, the last one, usually Cocky Lockey, survives long enough to warn the chick, who escapes. In others all are rescued and finally speak to the King.
In most retellings, the animals have rhyming names, commonly Chicken Licken or Chicken Little, Henny Penny or Hen-Len, Cocky Locky, Ducky Lucky or Ducky Daddles, Drakey Lakey, Goosey Loosey or Goosey Poosey, Gander Lander, Turkey Lurkey and Foxy Loxy or Foxy Woxy.
The moral to be drawn changes, depending on the version. Where there is a "happy ending", the moral is not to be a "Chicken" but to have courage. In other versions where the birds are eaten by the fox, the fable is interpreted as a warning not to believe everything one is told.
In the United States, the most common name for the story is "Chicken Little", as attested by illustrated books for children dating from the early 19th century. In Britain and its other former colonies, it is best known as "Henny Penny" and "Chicken Licken", titles by which it also went in the United States.[note 1]
The story was part of the oral folk tradition and only began to appear in print after the Brothers Grimm had set a European example with their collection of German tales in the early years of the 19th century. One of the earliest to collect tales from Scandinavian sources was Just Mathias Thiele, who in 1823 published an early version of the Henny Penny story in the Danish language.[4] The names of the characters there are Kylling Kluk,[5] Høne Pøne,[6] Hane Pane,[7] And Svand,[8] Gaase Paase,[9] and Ræv Skræv.[10] In Thiele's untitled account, a nut falls on Kylling Kluk's back and knocks him over. He then goes to each of the other characters, proclaiming that "I think all the world is falling" and setting them all running. The fox Ræv Skræv joins in the flight and, when they reach the wood, counts them over from behind and eats them one by one. Eventually the tale was translated into English by Benjamin Thorpe after several other versions had appeared.
Once the story began to appear in the English language, the titles by which they went varied considerably and have continued to do so. John Greene Chandler (1815-1879), an illustrator and wood engraver from Petersham, Massachusetts, published an illustrated children's book titled The Remarkable Story of Chicken Little in 1840.[11][12][13] In this American version of the story, the characters' names are Chicken Little, Hen-Pen, Duck-Luck, Goose-Loose, and Fox-Lox; Chicken Little is frightened by a leaf falling on her tail.[14]
A Scots version of the tale is found in Robert Chambers's Popular Rhymes, Fireside Stories, and Amusements of Scotland of 1842.[15] It appeared among the "Fireside Nursery Stories" and was titled "The hen and her fellow travellers". The characters included Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Ducky Daddles, Goosie Poosie, and an unnamed "tod" (fox). Henny Penny became convinced that "the lifts were faun" (the heavens were falling) when a pea fell on her head.
In 1849, a "very different" English version was published under the title "The Story of Chicken-Licken" by Joseph Orchard Halliwell.[16] In this Chicken-licken was startled when "an acorn fell on her bald pate" and encounters the characters Hen-len, Cock-lock, Duck-luck, Drake-lake, Goose-loose, Gander-lander, Turkey-lurkey and Fox-lox.
It was followed in 1850 by "The wonderful story of Henny Penny" in Joseph Cundall's compilation, The Treasury of pleasure books for young children.[17] Each story there is presented as if it were a separate book, and in this case had two illustrations by Harrison Weir. In reality the story is a repetition of the Chambers narration in standard English, except that the dialect phrase "so she gaed, and she gaed, and she gaed" is retained and the cause of panic is mistranslated as "the clouds are falling".
Benjamin Thorpe's translation of Thiele's Danish story was published in 1853 and given the title "The Little Chicken Kluk and his companions"[18] Thorpe describes the tale there as "a pendant to the Scottish story…printed in Chambers" (see above) and gives the characters approximately the same names as in Chambers.
Comparing the different versions, we find that in the Scots and English stories the animals want "to tell the king" that the skies are falling; while in the American story, as in the Danish, they are not given any specific motivation. In all versions they are eaten by the fox, although in different circumstances.

Idiomatic usageEdit
The name "Chicken Little" — and the fable's central phrase, The sky is falling! — have been applied to people accused of being unreasonably afraid, or those trying to incite an unreasonable fear in those around them.
The first use of the name "Chicken Little" to "one who warns of or predicts calamity, especially without justification" recorded by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary is in 1895,[19] but idiomatic use of the name significantly predates that attestation. In fact, this usage is recorded in the United States very soon after the publication of Chandler's illustrated children's book in 1840. Already, in 1842, a journal article about the Government of Haiti referred to "Chicken Little" in an offhand manner.[20] An "oration" delivered to the city of Boston on July 4, 1844, contains the passage:
To hear their harangues on the eve of the election, one would suppose that the fable of Chicken Little was about to become a truth, and that the sky was actually falling.[21]
Fear mongering — whether justified or not — can sometimes elicit a societal response called Chicken Little syndrome, described as "inferring catastrophic conclusions possibly resulting in paralysis".[22] It has also been defined as "a sense of despair or passivity which blocks the audience from actions".[23] The term began appearing in the 1950s[24] and the phenomenon has been noted in many different societal contexts.
Walt Disney Pictures has made two animated versions of the story. The first was Chicken Little,[25] a 1943 animated short released during World War II as one of a series produced at the request of the U.S. government for the purpose of discrediting Nazism. It tells a variant of the parable in which Foxy Loxy takes the advice of a book on psychology (on the original 1943 cut, it is Mein Kampf) by striking the least intelligent first. Dim-witted Chicken Little is convinced by him that the sky is falling and whips the farmyard into mass hysteria, which the unscrupulous fox manipulates for his own benefit. The dark comedy is used as an allegory for the idea that fear-mongering weakens the war effort and costs lives. It is also one of the versions of the story in which Chicken Little appears as a character distinct from Henny Penny.
The second Disney film was the very loosely adapted Chicken Little, released in 2005 as a 3D computer-animated feature. It is an updated science fiction sequel to the original fable in which Chicken Little is partly justified in his fears. In this version, Foxy Loxy is changed from a male to a female, and from the main antagonist to a local bully. Another film adaptation was the animated TV episode "Henny Penny" (1999), which was part of the series Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child. In this modern update, the story is given a satirical and political interpretation.
There have also been a number of musical settings. American composer Vincent Persichetti used the fable as the plot of his only opera The Sibyl: A Parable of Chicken Little (Parable XX), op. 135 (1976), which premiered in 1985. On the sitcom The Golden Girls, there was a 1991 episode in which the characters perform a short musical based on the fable (here titled "Henny Penny") at a school recital.[26] In 1998, there was Joy Chaitin and Sarah Stevens-Estabrook's equally light-hearted musical version of the fable, "Henny Penny".[27] Designed for between six and a hundred junior actors, it has additional characters as optional extras: Funky Monkey, Sheepy Weepy, Mama Llama, Pandy Handy and Giraffy Laughy (plus an aggressive oak-tree).
In Singapore, a more involved musical was performed in 2005. This was Brian Seward's The Acorn - the true story of Chicken Licken.[28] It is a tale of mixed motivations as certain creatures (including some among the 'good guys') take advantage of the panic caused by Chicken Licken.[29] In 2007 American singer and composer Gary Bachlund set the text of Margaret Free's reading version of "Chicken Little" (The Primer, 1910) for high voice and piano. In his note to the score Bachlund makes it clear that he intends a reference to alarmism and its tragic consequences.[30]
Popular referencesEdit
There are many novels, films, CDs and songs titled "The Sky is Falling", but the majority refer to the idiomatic use of the phrase rather than to the fable from which it derives. The following are some lyrics which genuinely refer or allude to the story:
- British band Happy Mondays have the lines "Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Goosey Loosey, Turkey Lurkey, Ducky Lucky, Chicken Little, It seems they are all on the move when the sun is falling in" in the song "Moving in with" on their second album, Bummed (1986).[31]
- The Aerosmith song "Livin' on the Edge" (1993) has the lines "If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is falling, Even if it wasn't would you still come crawling back again?"[32]
- "Chicken Little" is a song from the 1997 album Fancy, by the California avantrock band Idiot Flesh; it contains the line, "The sky is falling, gotta tell the king".[33]
- "The Sky Is Falling" is a song by Owsley from the 1999 debut album Owsley; it includes the line "Chicken Little had a big day today".[34]
Related storiesEdit
A very early example containing the basic motif and many of the elements of the tale is some 25 centuries old and appears in the Buddhist scriptures as the Daddabha Jataka (J 322).[1] In it, the Buddha, on hearing about some particular religious practices, comments that there is no special merit in them, but rather that they are "like the noise the hare heard." He then tells the story of a hare disturbed by a falling fruit who believes that the earth is coming to an end. The hare starts a stampede among the other animals until a lion halts them, investigates the cause of the panic and restores calm. The fable teaches the necessity for deductive reasoning and subsequent investigation.
The Tibetan version of the Jataka tale has been told in rhyme by Australian author Ursula Dubosarsky in her book The Terrible Plop (2009), which has since been dramatised, using the original title Plop!.[35] In this, the animal stampede is halted by a bear, rather than a lion. The ending has been changed from the Tibetan original as well.[36]
There also exists a Br'er Rabbit story that is closer to the Eastern versions. In this story, Br'er Rabbit initiates the panic but does not take part in the mass flight, although Br'er Fox does. In this case it is Br'er Terrapin that leads the animals back to question Br'er Rabbit.[37]

Joins Nation in Day of Mourning for Newtown victims
December 21, 2012
LOS ANGELES - The bells of the oldest black church in Los Angeles
rang out in memory of the Sandy Hook Elementary School victims at 6:30 a.m.
today, the time when the massacre began exactly a week ago.
The bells of the First AME Church of Los Angeles in the Adams district
tolled 26 times, once for each victim, then rang out a verse of the hymn "Nearer My God to Thee" in a ceremony coinciding with one in Connecticut.
Another ceremony is planned at First AME at 9:30 a.m. as part of a planned statewide moment of reflection in memory of the shooting victims, said church spokesman Michael Ellison-Lewis.
"First AME Church of Los Angeles bells have been rung in many other
watershed moments in our church's over 140-year history," Pastor J. Edgar Boyd
said. "Friday we join others in remembering those who lost their lives
tragically and join with the entire community to continue to work toward
Gov. Jerry Brown called for Californians to observe a moment of silence
in memory for the shooting victims at 9:30 a.m., honoring a request Connecticut
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy made of all his fellow governors.
"Let us all come together collectively to mourn the loss of far too
many promising lives at Sandy Hook Elementary School," Malloy said.
"Though we will never know the full measure of sorrow experienced by
these families, we can let them know that we stand with them during this
difficult time."

I've baked a fair few ginger cakes in my time and have come to realise that one component really alters the outcome of the cake. If you want a dark, sticky stodgy ginger cake – and I think this is a winter thing – then use black treacle. For a pleasingly anytime cake use golden syrup. This version however, is definitely the airiest and spongiest variant and uses honey. You will notice that the cake is far lighter in colour too.
The icing looked similar to many other icings but when you read the method you will see how different it is. We've all balanced bowls on top of saucepans to start making luscious things like Swiss meringue buttercream but this icing is made totally in the saucepan. One pot cooking at its finest! When cooled the icing has an almost fudge-like texture and is a quite beautiful accompaniment to the hot ginger.
I enjoyed eating a slice of this while sipping my tea and marvelling that, not only had Roger Federer made another Wimbledon final, but I'd won yet another fridge magnet from the CCBF (Caked Crusader's Boyfriend). Life is good!
For the cake:
80g unsalted butter
85g honey
65g light brown sugar
100ml milk
2 eggs
185g self raising flour
3 teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
For the icing:
60g unsalted butter
100g light brown sugar
2 tablespoons milk
100g icing sugar
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
- Grease a 16 x 26cm tray bake tin.
- Start by making the cake: Place the butter, honey and sugar into a medium sized saucepan – make sure it is big enough to hold all the other ingredients, as the saucepan is the mixing bowl for this cake.
- Stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. You can best tell this by looking at the back of your spoon – if you can see tiny crystals, the sugar has not yet dissolved.
- Leave to cool slightly.
- Add the milk, eggs, flour, ginger and bicarbonate of soda to the cooled mixture and stir in until well combined. I used a whisk as I find ginger cake batter is a bit lumpy and a whisk works better than a spoon.
- Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out cleanly.
- Leave to cool in the tin on a wire rack.
- Now make the icing: melt the butter in a small saucepan.
- Add the light brown sugar and milk and bring to the boil.
- Simmer, stirring all the time, for 2 minutes.
- Stir in enough of the icing sugar to make a spreadable consistency.Spread over the top of the cooled cake.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

Cross Country Headed to NCAAsby Jim Amidon • November 17, 2010 Share:
Wabash Cross Country Coach Roger Busch has been preaching patience to his Little Giant Harriers for the last three years, and last weekend that patience paid off when the cross country team qualified for the NCAA Division III National Championships.
While Wabash has sent individual runners to nationals, it has been 11 years since Wabash qualified as a team. The Little Giants were second among 33 teams competing at last weekend's Great Lakes Regional Championship.
"It has been three years in the making, but we've got great junior and senior leaders on this team," said Busch, who has been named the US Track & Field Coaches Association Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year. "We knew that we had the talent if the guys worked hard and developed. "
As has been the case all season, the Little Giants were led at the Regional by senior co-captain Seth Einterz (left) and junior Kevin McCarthy (below right). Einterz ran to second place in a time of 25:10. McCarthy had a personal-best time of 25:17 to take fourth place.
"Seth is having his best season ever, he's been healthy the entire season, and is the most positive I've ever seen him," said Busch of his star runner. "Kevin and I talked extensively about a race strategy that he believed in. He is a very coachable athlete and he trusts the plan, and obviously it paid off."
Donovan White (30th, 25:57), Brian David (34th, 25:58), and Justin Allen (52nd, 26:18) rounded out Wabash's scoring at the Regional. Allen (below left with Jacob Surface and Einterz) gave up a chance to compete at the North Coast Athletic Conference Championships, which Wabash hosted, in order to be healthy and rested for the Regional.
"Justin's attitude and leadership have been great this season. And he has been tough as nails fighting through some small and nagging injuries. He believed that we had a great chance at making the national meet and forfeited his senior season conference meet in order to help us reach that goal."
Kenny Farris (82nd, 26:43) and rookie Jake Ponton (137th, 27:22), both clocked personal-best times at the Regional and will round out Wabash's squad for nationals.
Wabash's cross country teams were dominant when Busch ran for the Little Giants from 1992 through 1995. In his senior year, Busch and his teammates were third at the NCAA Division III National Championships. He's tried to bring the same team concept to this year's team.
"All seven of our runners who competed at the Regional executed our race plan to perfection, which is very rare in this sport," Busch said. "I've asked these guys to be patient and try new things so that we would be most prepared for the Regional at the end of the year, and that's exactly what every guy on this team did."
The NCAA Division III National Championship will be hosted by Wartburg College and held November 20 in Waverly, Iowa.
"I'm very proud of our entire team, top to bottom," Busch said. "I'm not just proud of the top seven runners; I'm proud of the support and hard work the rest of the team has shown all season. They traveled to the Regional in Holland, Michigan separately from the varsity runners — giving up the chance to go to the Monon Bell football game — just to be there to support their teammates. Saturday's Regional performance was a total team effort."
Busch dreamed of helping to guide Wabash back to national prominence when he took over as head coach from long-time leader Rob Johnson. While he realizes that qualifying for the national meet as a team is just the beginning, he's not looking past what has been accomplished thus far.
"I was a little emotional as we traveled back home late Saturday evening," Busch said. " Going to the national meet as a team means a great deal to me, it brings back great memories. And to take a great group of young men to the national meet where we can all represent our college is an overwhelming feeling!"

Atlas Copco Secoroc tested a new carbide grade at Kiruna Mine in the North of Sweden with Bergteamet Raiseboring Group. The harder tougher grade of carbide was used on standard Magnum V cutters. The cutters were then put on a 3.1 meter (in diameter) integral reamer. This reamer employs 5 gage cutters, 3 next to gage cutters with 2 cutters on each of the remaining rows throughout to the center of the head. The total number of cutters on the reamer was 18 (eighteen).
The machine being used was an Indau 500 with 2 million pounds (8900 kN) of thrust and 295,000 Ft-lbs (400 kN-m) of torque. The cutters were loaded from 55,000 to 60,000 lbs (25 to 27 metric tonnes) each throughout the raise. The 1128 ft (344 meter) raise was pulled in massive, hard, abrasive and ductile syenite with an Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) averaging 350 MPa (50,700 psi) – (ranging from 300 to 420 Mpa or 43,500 to 60,900 psi). The previous best at 3.1 meter diameter in this type of ground at Kiruna has been noted at about 820 feet (250 meters). This raise employed Sandvik CRH4 and CRH5 cutters on an integral 3.1 meter reamer which employed 4 gage cutters, 4 next to gage cutters and 2 cutters in each of the remaining rows. The total cutter count was 18.

Networking & Wireless | News
Aruba Networks has framed a new architecture for its technology offerings that addresses increasingly mobile users. Referred to by the company as "#GenMobile," this generation of users falls between the ages of 18 and 35 and is characterized by a desire to work anytime, anywhere; purchase mobile devices more than other groups; and seek a more "connected" world in all aspects of their lives, from the clothes they wear to the cars they drive.
The architecture put forward by Aruba is intended to support the networking needs of these highly mobile individuals and is underpinned by new and recent enhancements in several product areas, including visibility into the IT infrastructure and security automation.
Updates in the AppRF technology within the ArubaOS 6.4 firewall module, available now, provides more granular inspection of the types of applications running on the network and gives the network administrator greater control over how the network will handle them. In a prepared statement the company said the new deep packet inspection functionality allows IT to set granular role-based policies, quality of service and "bandwidth contracts" for 1,500 mobile applications, including those that are encrypted.
Brandeis University, which has been working with the new features in early software code releases, sees great potential in Aruba's firewall technology. "The number of mobile and wireless devices relying on our wireless network 24x7 continues to grow exponentially resulting in unprecedented bandwidth requirements," said Network Engineer Timothy Cappalli. "With Aruba's new next-generation mobility firewall, we now have the ability to control, manage and prioritize traffic based on more specific information such as device type, user role and applications. As needs change throughout the day, we can easily make adjustments to support academic vs. residential hall traffic making sure the wireless network is fully optimized for the best possible user experience."
Matthew Zealand, CIO for Liberty University, added that as his institution sees Wi-Fi access escalate, "we need to find ways to better manage and prioritize network traffic so that we can confidently support this demand." The new firewall capabilities, he said, will "provide us with critical visibility and policy control... This visibility along with bandwidth allocations, allows us to set role-based policies that have a significant impact on network security, performance and ultimately the user experience."
A new unified communications dashboard from Aruba will allow IT to monitor and manage that kind of network traffic. With the new feature, network administrators can point and click to retrieve usage metrics and visualize real-time call quality by location. The initial release works with Microsoft Lync. The dashboard will be available as part of Airwave 8.0, the next version of Aruba's network management system, expected in May 2014.
A new Auto Sign-On feature uses the Wi-Fi login to authenticate a user for single sign-on-enabled applications. This feature, available now, surfaces in ArubaOS 6.4 as well as ClearPass 6.3, the company's policy manager. The intent is to simplify access to applications that require login. It can be integrated with single-sign-on services already in use within the environment or it can be used stand-alone.
Aruba's AirGroup has also been updated. This technology, which is part of ArubaOS and ClearPass, has traditionally allowed people with Apple iOS devices to find and use services across IP subnets based on their network role, location and time of day. Now AirGroup has been enhanced to allow users to share screens and stream media with non-iOS devices that use Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) and Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) standards.
"We have a number of students using Google Chromecast, Apple TV and other devices and we need to be able to provide secure access and manage all of the devices on our network," said Brandeis' Cappalli. "Additionally, AirGroup for DLNA is an important step toward making our classrooms more interactive as faculty and students will be able to use mirroring to share content and create a more collaborative environment."
"Our customers have found that the all-wireless workplace is easily afforded by rightsizing the network and redirecting IT investments," said Keerti Melkote, Aruba's founder and chief technology officer. The new architecture, he noted, "will enable IT departments to build intelligent and self-optimizing infrastructures where security actions are automated, performance is enhanced, and efficient workflows adapt to the dynamics of mobility. The resulting right-sized network reduces capital costs associated with the fixed wired infrastructure and delivers an integrated mobility experience that everyone can depend on."

As would be expected of sons of an Ole Miss lawyer, legislator, postmaster, history buff, and farmer, Colin Collins and David Collins dutifully attended their father's alma mater — Colin earning a degree in education, and David a degree in chemistry.
But they became neither educator nor scientist.
Instead, both answered the call of the land, returning to the Union County, Miss., farm that has been in their family for generations, harking back to their ancestor, William Bridges, who came here from Kentucky in a covered wagon in the 1830s when the area first opened for settlement, and began farming the bottom lands adjacent to the Tallahatchie River.
"I'd grown up in farming," says Colin, the elder brother. "Our father, William Collins, had me on a tractor when I was eight or nine years old. So, when it came time to choose a livelihood, I chose farming over teaching. This is all I wanted to do."
David actually had a go at putting his chemistry degree to use in the corporate world, taking a job with Dow Chemical at Baton Rouge. "It wasn't for me," he says. "It didn't take me long to come home. From an economic standpoint, it probably wasn't the wisest decision I ever made [he smiles], but I've never regretted it."
WHAT'S ON TAP: Important upcoming events: Delta Farm Press Calendar of Events
Today, along with Colin's son Clay (Ole Miss also, business management degree), they have a 1,500 acre soybean operation and timber land, and in the best Jeffersonian tradition, lead lives of myriad interests, community service, neighborliness, independence, and self-sufficiency.
"We're just country farmers," David modestly avers as he settles his 6 foot 6 frame into a chair in their shop on a late April morning after tornadoes have raked the state and rains have idled their planting start by perhaps another week [planting actually began May 5]. "I can't imagine there's anything about us that would be of interest to anyone."
Colin smiles, nods in agreement.
Built a 15-row planter
And then, bit by bit, the details emerge: Their if-we-can-make-something-ourselves-and-save-some-money credo — example, combining two 8-row planters with 38-inch spacing to make a 15-row soybeans planter with 19-inch spacing and adding a caddy.
"It cost $20,000," says Colin. "A new one would've been $100,000 and we'd have needed a bigger tractor to run the hydraulics. We got the idea from [Pontotoc, Miss. farmer] Tommy Harrison. It allows us to pull a much heavier planter with a smaller tractor, and save a lot of money in the process."
AG NEWS delivered daily to your inbox: Subscribe to Delta Farm Press Daily
And, he says of another of their equipment adaptations, "We've probably got the only direct-drive seed tender auger in existence."
David interjects: "The auger was originally driven by a hydraulic motor, but when that motor failed, we tried to come up with a drive that wouldn't require hydraulic power. So we mounted an old gas motor onto the auger itself and used sprockets to reduce rotation speed to a right-angle gearbox at the base of the auger.
"To remotely turn the auger off and on, I first tried an electric clutch that I took off of an old riding lawn mower, but that idea failed — too much mass to get it started spinning when I flipped the toggle switch. So I had to go back to the drawing board.
"I got a cheap go-kart motor that has a centrifugal wet clutch and hooked its throttle up to a 12 volt linear actuator that is controlled by a wireless remote control. Whenever I want to stop the auger from turning, I idle the engine by just pressing a button on the wireless remote control. To resume auguring, pressing the other button advances the throttle, which revs up the engine and engages the wet clutch. It works great, is very reliable, never chokes down, and no hydraulics required."
They do it themselves
If it can be made, they make it; if it needs fixing, they do it — outsourcing only equipment engine overhauls. "Our newest tractor is a 1992 model," Colin says. "Our combines are '85 and '96 models. They're good machines, we maintain them properly, they do the job for us, so why buy new ones?"
Colin put his welding skills to use to build a 200-gallon fuel tank for their service truck. "It was a challenge to make a tank that big that doesn't leak. But I managed it."
He has been "teaching myself to weld aluminum" — a different technique from regular welding. "I made aluminum doors for our Polaris side-by-side ATV. It was a lot cheaper than buying them."
A voracious reader on wide-ranging topics, particularly those of the natural world, he also is a dedicated gardener, keeping the family freezers stocked with veggies, including the purple hull peas that, with corn bread, "are mighty fine eating."
June, his wife of 41 years, babysits their grandson, Graham, and granddaughter, Jovie, on weekdays while their daughter, Anna Claire, teaches at nearby West Union school. She laughs that her husband, Shane Hall, "married me just so he would have a good place to hunt – he once bagged two turkeys with one shot on the farm's 40 acres of bottomland woods."
He has been president of the Union County Farm Bureau organization since 1981, and is actively involved in its issues. "I keep thinking they'll talk someone else into taking the job," Colin says, "but so far, they haven't." One of his current goals is getting support for state regulations controlling non-native animals that pose a threat to agricultural operations. He also serves on the Producer Advisory Council for the Northeast Mississippi Extension and Research Center.
David's interests include civics and current events.
"Some of my opinions aren't popular," he acknowledges. "For example, in recent years I've come to believe that it's a good idea to require people to have health insurance. Yet, I never got health insurance for myself, because my health has always been excellent.
"Even though I never expected to get sick, the new Affordable Care Act forced me to buy health insurance. Then, a month ago, I began having symptoms that resulted in a heart catheterization and stent. Having that insurance saved me $40,000."
Multi-camera security system
Electronics is another of David's hobbies. He built a computer system for the Union County Heritage Museum at nearby New Albany, serves on its board of directors, and is currently involved in a drive to raise more than $1 million for the museum expansion project.
Another project was installing a security camera system for the farm. Twelve cameras allow their 97-year old mother, Vernis, to monitor goings-on at the farm shop, at her sons' houses, and the surroundings of her house.
The cameras are motion activated, and the monitor displays only the scenes where action is occurring. As a security measure, the system records and stores output from any camera that detects motion.
"It's really a simple system," David says. "It only cost a few hundred dollars and it keeps Mother involved in what we're doing."
Colin notes that, "We also have radios for staying in touch and for up-to-the-minute weather forecasts, and of course, iPhones, which help us to track weather for making spraying decisions.
While last year turned out to be a bumper year for most Mississippi row crops, David says their soybean yields were off a bit due to a mid-August dry spell. None of their land is irrigated.
"We averaged about 33 bushels, but prices were good, so we came out OK," he says. "Many farmers are in much better shape as a result of good yields and prices in recent years. It has been a big relief for us to be in a position to not have to borrow money to make a crop.
"But," he says wryly, "August is not my favorite month."
In addition to the family land, Colin says, "We rent land all up and down Highway 30, going 10 miles toward Oxford and 4 miles toward New Albany. It's mostly all creek bottom and Tallahatchie River bottom land, and about a third of it is subject to overflow. There are some fields where there are floodwater marks on trees as high as 8 feet."
Of the land they farm, about two-thirds is owned, the rest rented. They just recently concluded the purchase of a 150-ace farm they'd been renting for 20 years. The sale, David says, "was based in large part on respect between our family and theirs over many years, and their knowing that we will be good stewards of the land."
With the rain and cold that were pushing this year's planting into May, he says, "We like to start planting as early as we can, preferably the last week in April if we can get in the fields. But we're not worried … yet."
Multiple varieties spread risk
They grow mostly Group IV and Group V Asgrow beans, Colin says, selecting several different varieties to spread risk. "We used to plant a lot of early Group IVs, but we had a lot of shattering, and they didn't hold up as long in the field if we had weather delays at harvest. Our dealer is Morris Farm Supply — they're good folks to work with.
"We've been in continuous soybeans for 14 years now, and we're overdue to start some rotation with corn. But right now we don't have a corn planter, since we used it to build the 15-row soybean planter."
They used to grow some milo from time to time as a rotation crop, Colin says, "But weather sometimes keeps us from getting it planted, and elevators don't like to take milo when they've got soybeans coming in hot and heavy."
They have 48,000 bushels of bin storage and will hold a portion of the crop to sell in the spring when prices are usually better than at harvest.
"That system has worked well for us," David says. Their beans are sold through ADM and Cargill at Memphis. "We hire our trucking — we don't have any 18-wheel rigs, but do have a hopper bottom grain trailer."
They still do conventional tillage with a disk and do-all, he says. "We tried no-till a few years, but it just didn't do well for us. On some fields, we were able to increase yields, but on others we had trouble getting a stand, and eventually got a hardpan buildup.
"After burndown with Roundup and 2,4-D, we'll disk twice, run the do-all, and plant on 20-inch rows. After emergence of the crop and the first flush of weeds, morningglories force us to tank mix Resource with Roundup. We spend more money on Resource than Roundup.
"Two sprayings that include Resource give us perfect control," David says, "but morningglories are a perpetual problem because river overflows always bring in new seed.
"Wild garlic has been giving us fits during harvest. So this year, we're adding 2,4-D at burndown to suppress it. The only other Roundup resistance we've had so far is with marestail in a few fields. We're on the verge of needing to apply pre-emerge to control it."
Wild hogs, deer a problem
As is increasingly the case in many areas of the state, wild hogs and deer are a problem, Colin says. "We lost 20-25 acres last year to hogs, and we had to replant 15-20 acres twice due to deer damage.
"Over a period of 8 months, we trapped 239 wild hogs, but they're still gaining on us. Last year, was the worst damage we've ever had. And they're getting smarter — it's much harder to trap them than it once was. Some area farmers have had to stop growing corn because of the hogs. Fire ants and coyotes are also a problem."
To that end, Colin is working within the Farm Bureau to try and get support for legislation that would curtail ownership or transporting of non-native species that could become invasive.
Their farm machinery lineup, all John Deere, includes two 4955 tractors, a 4760, 4840, 4640, and 4230; Deere 9600 and 7720 combines, and an Agco Spra-Coupe.
"We don't have auto-steer on our sprayer," David says, "but we do have GPS and automatic boom section control. Eliminating overspray saves a lot of money. I used to turn the five boom sections on and off manually, but it nearly drove me nuts. Then I got the GPS boom section control system and that eliminated a big headache. It's a necessity in my book."
They did add one new equipment item this year, a spreader truck. David says "You can get small 12 volt cameras and monitors for practically nothing online, now-a-days, so I got two for the new spreader truck — one so we can see how much material there is in the hopper and another mounted at the rear so we can see the drag chain and spinners moving."
"Lime really pays off for us," Colin says. "It has made a big difference — on some fields, we've seen a doubling of yield."
Although their collegiate loyalty is to Ole Miss, both Colin and David readily acknowledge their appreciation for the help and advice from Mississippi State University specialists and researchers. "We've got a lot of friends in Extension, and they've been a real asset to us over the years," Colin says.

NEW YORK — Binge drinking is common among U.S. high school seniors, with some reporting extremes of 15 or more alcoholic beverages in a row, a level of consumption that can lead to poisoning and death, a U.S. study found.
About 11 percent of those surveyed said they consumed 10 or more consecutive drinks in the past two weeks, while 5.6 percent imbibed at least 15 at a time, according to research published in JAMA Pediatrics. The United States defines binge drinking as consuming enough within two hours to reach a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent, usually five drinks for a man and four for a woman.
Monday's study is the first to look at how many teens engage in extreme binge drinking, consuming 10 to 15 or more drinks at a time, said the lead study author, Megan Patrick. About 5,000 people under the age of 21 die each year from alcohol-related car crashes, homicides, poisonings and injuries such as falls and drownings, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, part of the National Institutes of Health.
"We hope this study will bring awareness to this issue of high-risk alcohol drinking among adolescents," said Patrick, a research assistant professor at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, in a Sept. 13 telephone interview.
Researchers in the study included 16,332 high school seniors in the U.S. A drink was 12 ounces of beer, four ounces of wine, a shot of liquor, a mixed drink or a 12- ounce wine cooler.
About 20 percent of the students said they consumed five or more drinks in the past two weeks, according to the paper.
Those who may be most prone to engage in extreme binge drinking were male, white, lived in rural areas, used other drugs, smoked cigarettes, missed school more often and had parents with a lower level of education, according to the research. More studies are needed to identify students at most risk of extreme binge drinking, Patrick said.
"I was actually a bit surprised by the finding," said Ralph Hingson, director of the Division of Epidemiology and Prevention Research at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, in an interview today. "At that level of consumption, clearly people can get very dangerous blood alcohol levels." Hingson wrote an accompanying editorial along with Aaron White, the program director for college and underage drinking prevention research at the NIAAA.
While the number of teens who consumed five or more drinks at a time has declined since the 1970s and 1980s, findings that extreme binge drinking hasn't fallen may help explain why hospitalizations for alcohol and drug overdoses are on the rise, Hingson said in a telephone interview Monday.
Efforts have been made to curb heavy drinking around specific events, like a 21st birthday, he said.
"By and large, this phenomenon is larger than that," Hingson said. "It's not just a single day, it's not just spring break. People who are engaging in these behaviors tend to be frequent heavy drinkers."
Doctors should be asking patients, particularly younger people, how much alcohol they are consuming and researchers should be including questions about extreme binge drinking on surveys, he said.

"Listen now, every year we see it. People getting too excited to jump on the track that they forget the basics and parts that can result in the difference between first and fifth place," says Jason Enders, President of RE Suspension. Race season is right around the corner and its time to start preparing your car for the track. Here are the top 5 things to check before you hit the track this season.
Why do you even need shocks?
Shocks dampen the movement between the chassis and the wheels and the wheels to the road. In circle track applications, we can utilize the shocks to help maintain a consistent dynamic platform.
With the setups that we are currently running on asphalt cars, the bleed curves that we run in our setups are very critical. As seals, piston bands and o-rings wear out, our bleed curve changes or gets weaker. When this happens, the dynamic platform (or aero platform depending on the situation) that we are trying to maintain changes because the shocks do not have the same amount of rebound that they did when they were new or serviced.
"Each track is different on how your shocks need to be valved. Every week we receive shocks from across the nation to help teams appropriately adjust for the race ahead," says Donny Markham, Technician at RE Suspension. He continues, "Dirt track cars have a different problem. Because of the elements that this type of racing sees, servicing your shocks is more crucial than ever."
The velocities that these dampers see as well as all the dirt, sand and grit that gets passed by the seals make the service intervals shorter. Not only do we look at all the seals, o-rings and wear bands, but we also pay very close attention to the bushings inside the seal heads of the shocks. Because dirt cars typically see a lot of dynamic shock travel, this can at times produce what we call side loading. This happens when the shaft of the shock doesn't travel on the same axis as the body. When this happens, bushings wear out. When that happens, excessive wear occurs.
Have Your Springs Tested and Graphed
Springs are something that a lot of racers overlook. Ever had a bad handling race car that you couldn't figure out what was wrong with it? There is a good chance that you could be chasing a spring that has taken a set or collapsed.
When springs are run in the last 10-15% of their available travel, we run the risk of overstressing the spring resulting in them taking a set. Obviously, crashes can produce the same effect.
We recommend that racers send in their springs once a year, usually over the offseason, and have their springs dyno tested. After you have all of your springs tested, you will receive the graph, rate, travel and free length of every spring. We will help you point out which springs have taken a set and need to be replaced.
Why do you even need specialized shocks?
Springs and shocks have to work together. Springs absorb the energy and shocks control the release of that energy. Springs assist in exploiting power to the wheels, resulting is more speed, drivability (control) and consistency.
Save Your Car with Bump Stops
Bump stops have become the standard in most forms of circle track racing, both dirt and asphalt. We utilize bump stops to help us maintain a smaller dynamic platform window for the car. We can also use them to help us manipulate wheel loads.
"Bump stops often are overlooked when guys' maintenance their car. When running foam or polyurethane style stops, you need to pay attention to the free height of the stop. If the free height has changed more than .125", you need to replace the bump stop. This applies to running bump springs as well," says Donny.
Tools to Help You Win at the Track
You are at the track and need to make some final adjustments, only to realize you are missing the tool you need. Here are three tools we recommend you have ready before every race season.
We recommend that the air pressure in your shocks be checked before every race. Remember to always check the pressure with the damper fully extended.
Tired of dragging air hoses all over pit road to adjust air pressure in your tires and/or shocks? Grab one of our hand held nitrogen tanks.
Knowing your shock travels are a crucial part of tuning your race car. When running bump stops, the old "zip tie on the shock shaft" trick doesn't work anymore. Running an external travel indicator allows you to check the max travel of the car without the bump stop interfering. It also makes checking the travel way easier.
The Forgotten Step, Cleaning and Lubrication
Cleaning your shocks can help prevent damage by removing any debris and dirt from the track. It is important when you are cleaning parts of your suspension, including you shocks, that you only use cleaners specifically made for suspension parts. Using products such as WD-40 can breakdown O-rings and other seal materials. We use Maxima Suspension Clean and Speedsolv in our shop.
"Maintenance and care isn't something you should do just during the offseason. While we consider these the top 5 things to check before every season, you should really add this to your checklist before every race as shocks, springs, bump stops and cleaning can all extremely impact your handling characteristics," says Jason. "At RE Suspension, we are the experts in racing suspension. If you are looking for bump stops or need your shocks serviced, or just need to new set of shocks, we can help!

Xuster needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 19 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
We're two guys who are fed up with the mutual fund industry ripping people off with high fees and unjustified fund performance. We want to get people to invest wisely for their retirement and have built a website to help them do this. The site does 3 things:
1. Project for people when they can retire based on their financial info
2. Give data driven advice on how they can retire earlier
3. Give useful alerts on their investment portfolio
We're targeting the personal investor and initially young professionals that have money to put away for retirement but don't know how. We will roll this out to the large technical companies first. These are smart young professionals that care about their finances.
Not many requirements here. The logo will be placed on the upper left hand corner of the site. It will be placed on a background above the main navigation box. It is preferable that the logo not be in a box or bounded as it will be placed directly on the background. See http://www.mint.com for the similar layout style.
Please incorporate: #558ED5 as this is the main non white-or-black color on the site.
Also Background is : #ECEDED
Logo should contain a graphic with the words FutureAdvisor adjacent.

That's the best and most in depth Berserk character page i've ever seen. You might want to have clickable pics that also show the different forms of the characters (i.e. apostle human and beast form, Guts in his different armours, and Puck in his SD form)
very cool the rickert image however is the only thing that kinda made me frown my face but hey cool never the less
Btw will you be using griffiths old chpt 226 pictures of the beast , 4 the beast ( when you get to it ? )
if you're going to point out a typo or problem, do me the favor of actually pointing it out instead of making me slueth my way into the correction.
That... IS what you were trying to say, right Smith?
Your work is incrediblely well done.I've noticed something though. In Luca profile, it is written her life changed when she met Erica(Casca). Isn't it Ellen ?
Also, but it is minor point, I would have liked to see the priest Guts uses against the Count,
the archer Julius payed for Griffith's assassination
as well as the shitheads who had to keep an eye over Foss' daughter (and her ? : / ),
the man who's beaten by Silatt in the championship,
the ugly guy beaten to death by Wild when commandship of that army is required,
the Old medium in vol12 who prophethiced about Rickert and all,
the first apostle Guts encounters after the Eclipse when he's at Godo's house,
the demonic tree and the thieves later turned to forest guardians,
the little boy used by Guts to kill some bees in the hangar,
the mother of Serpico,
the father of Farnese and Serpico,
golems and master giant golem^^,
the chief troll,
the dark spirit summoned by Schierke in the cave,
the apostles whose rushed by Guts,
the one fought by Schiekre, Isidro and Serpico, those SupaGuts kills...
The list is long and you have obviously the right to tell me to go fuck, but I think it's always good when there are plenty characters for an encyclopédia(mostly for Millenium Falcon Arc which is quite small)Guil

Speaking of which, Mark recently pointed out to me that the new AMD Quad FX chips (a pair of dual cores) are basically half price opterons. From what limited info I have it looks like they don't support registered memory, but otherwise use the same socket, same cache, etc. Seems ideal for many HPC uses (except those which require a large number of dimms per cpu). Has anyone played with a pair? Is the "Quad FX" socket actually different? Or does it just depend on non-registered dimms being plugged into the dimm slots?

Brian Tyree Henry On The 'N' Word, Black/Latino Culture And 'Paper Boi'
10.31.2016 | By Jack Rico | No Comments">No Comments
On the tenth episode of my Highly Relevant podcast, I had a chance to chat with Brian Tyree Henry, a.k.a. Paper Boi on FX's Atlanta. We spoke mainly about diversity in the arts, but we did get to the nitty gritty on the prolific usage as of late of the word 'nigga" in television and film (music has been like that from the beginning). Aren't we trying to eliminate the word from our vocabulary? We also conversed on his pal Donald Glover's casting in the new Star Wars movie, his first encounter with him, his character Paper Boi, the show's appeal, his view on Latino culture, Broadway's lack of minority storytelling and why Gina Rodriguez is so hot to him. Read on or listen to the interview! Read More
