We're a socially / environmentally conscious hi-tech data visualization consulting company. Our goal is to make visualizations/maps technologies and cutting edge data analysis accessible to both for-profit and non-profit organizations.
We are looking for creative, modern, streamlined ad banner(s) to drive specifically targeted users who would be interested in hiring us for mapping and data visualization projects.
The ad will be placed at http://walkscore.com/how-it-works.shtml and will drive users to a sub-page on http://umbrellaconsulting.com that will describe our work on walkscore.com and similar projects.
The ad should be static (eg no flash), and 468x60 pixels for adsense (could be flexible on this if required)
The goal is to attract and acquire new clients for data visualization and GIS/mapping work.
- General look and feel/theme of umbrellaconsulting.com, including logo (which you may stylize as you see fit)
- Copies of the original vector graphics associated with the ad, and ability to adapt ad myself, in case I want to change any text and test out multiple messages
- It would be great if the ad could be resized a little to be placed in other spots, but this is not as important as it fitting correctly in the main location on the walkscore how-it-works page as noted above

Resident Evil 0 Cheats :
Cheats - Alternate costumes
by Unregistered Apr 30, 2005
There is a way to determine if you will get the submachine gun or the magnum. Look at the two herbs in front of the stairs in front of you at the start of the mini-game. If the colors are blue and green, you will get the magnum. If the colors are green and green, you will get the submachine gun. The submachine gun can do what the magnum can and requires a lot less ammunition. Green and green is highly recommended. If you want the magnum on the Leech Hunter mini-game, load your game on Disc 1 (only if you have passed the game once and have unlocked the Leech Hunter mini-game), then play the mini-game. You will see a Green Herb and a Blue Herb, indicating that the Magnum is there. If you want the Submachine gun, load your saved file with mini-game on Disc 2 and play the mini-game. You will see two Green Herbs, indicating that the Submachine gun is in the game.

It's always a pleasure to find a movie that you thought would be terrible and being proven wrong. After the disaster that was GULLIVER'S TRAVELS I was certain that THE BIG YEAR starring Jack Black would be another travesty of film with him mugging for the camera the same way he always does. Instead I found a delightful film that I know I could watch again and enjoy.
Black stars as Brad Harris, a birder (bird viewing enthusiast) with an uncanny ability to know a bird by the song it sings. The main even for bird viewers is known as a Big Year, a year long event where they try to see as many species of birds as they can. When this 36 year old gets news his ex-wife is remarrying he decides this is the year to take time off from work to fulfill his lifelong wish to do a Big Year.
Stu Preissler (Steve Martin) has decided to retire for the second time from the multinational corporation he is CEO of. While the executives in charge want him to stay on, he too has decided that this is the best opportunity he will have to do his own Big Year. With his wife's blessings, he heads out to start watching.
Which leaves our third main character Kenny Bostick (Owen Wilson). Kenny holds the record for the highest number of birds seen, over 800. His is the record to beat and one that he holds dear. So much so that he puts his record above everything else in his life including his wife (Rosamund Pike) and her desire to have children.
When word gets out the to bird crowd about a major even bringing thousands of species to one location, they all head to begin their counts. Bumping into one another on a boat, Brad and Stu strike up a friendship based on their love of birds neither one admitting to doing a Big Year. As the sightings escalate and they run into one another more often, they get closer and finally Brad admits what he is doing. But Stu holds back.
But Kenny recognizes what's happening and tries to play the two friends off of one another slowing them down in their quest at the same time. This enables him to continue on and attempt to set a new world record. But fences are mended and the friends continue to try and beat the already established record.
Along the way Brad faces two more challenges. One is his father (Brian Dennehy) a blue collar man who can't understand his son's quest. He considers him to be a failure rather than a man who has a chance to take the crown from Kenny. Brad also finds himself falling in love with another birder, a young woman who can make bird calls better than anyone he meets. Unfortunately he discovers she has a boyfriend. Along with the birding itself, these two stumbling blocks offer plot devices that fit nicely into the whole story going on.
Each of these three men comes from various financial backgrounds and families, each has their strengths and weaknesses and each has a goal in mind when it comes to their Big Year. But as the story unfolds we not only have the chance to witness some breath taking scenery but to get a fully flushed out story involving all three characters.
My biggest fear as I began this film was the actors. Black, Martin and Wilson have all had films in the past where a director's complete lack of control resulted in an actor taking over and ruining the production, trying to use their usual shtick thinking it was funny when in truth it had become boring. None of that exists here. Both Black and Martin give exceptional performances and flush out their characters to the fullest without resorting to the old standby laugh getters. Instead we have characters that we care about and who we hope will remain friends. Wilson's character is the saddest of the three without his own being aware of it. One hopes he will one day find the joy the other two achieve by the end of the film.
Don't let the simple concept of this film fool you. It offers so much more than one would think a movie about watching birds could. It also offers Black a chance at redemption in my book, giving him the chance to actually act rather than play the buffoon. Let's just hope he continues to do so.

Natural gas line proposed to branch off through Lenox
RICHMOND - A proposed new natural gas line in Massachusetts would fork northward from an existing line in Richmond, pass through Lenox and continue toward the Greenfield area on its way to Dracut.
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. began notifying communities along the proposed route last month that it would be contacting property owners for permission to do preliminary survey work in the areas under consideration. No final route for the 36-inch gas line has been determined, according to the company, and the permitting process before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission hasn't commenced.
"Our impression is that they are trying to get a baseline and [determine] the feasibility of it," said Matthew Kerwood, town administrator in Richmond.
He said a letter from Tennessee Gas explaining the preliminary steps was sent to the town about a month ago. Kerwood said the proposal, as he understands it, is to construct a branch line from the current line that extends from New York state into Richmond, and that it would head north in the vicinity of the Berkshire Beagle Club and Dublin Road in the town.
He said town officials met with a company representative and have talked with a corporate spokesman about the proposal. "We certainly will remain in contact with Tennessee Gas and will recommend public meetings if this unfolds," Kerwood said.
Mary Ellen Deming, interim town manager in Lenox, said selectmen were notified that property owners would be approached to allow basic survey work. Company representatives also met with selectmen.
Her understanding, Deming said, is "that this is very preliminary."
The proposed route would pass through the vicinity of Eastover, local officials were told.
In the letter sent to officials in communities along the proposed route, Tennessee Gas states that it plans to upgrade its pipeline system "within New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire. As configured, the proposed project will result in the construction of approximately 250 miles of new pipeline."
That mileage figure would include legs coming off the new main line, which crosses northern Massachusetts, passing through Berkshire, Franklin, Worcester and Middlesex counties to Dracut, just north of Lowell. Among the legs are one that would extend into New Hampshire.
The existing company pipeline enters Massachusetts at Richmond and then slopes south toward Springfield and the Connecticut line. Legs extend north into the Pioneer Valley, and another leg extends north into northern Berkshire County.
If the plan clears the regulatory process, construction would begin in spring 2017 and the line could begin operating in 2018, according to the company's proposed timetable. The preliminary assessment by Tennessee Gas includes gauging customer and shipper contractual commitments, which the company said are necessary before the project can move forward.
Christopher C. Farrell, a spokesman for Berkshire Gas Co., said the company would not offer specific comments on the proposal until a plan is filed with regulators. However, he added, "Massachusetts needs additional interstate pipeline capacity to meet the growing demand for natural gas in the commonwealth. Additional capacity in our service area would support growth and economic expansion."
Berkshire Gas is a customer of Tennessee Gas Pipeline, operating in Berkshire, Franklin and Hampshire counties. According to Richard Wheatley, a spokesman for Tennessee Gas Co.'s parent firm, Kinder Morgan Inc. of Houston, the proposal is in response to an increased demand for natural gas in the region, including for heating and for gas-fired electric power generation facilities.
Tennessee Gas transports and stores natural gas for its customers with a pipeline from Texas and the Gulf of Mexico to the Northeast.

One witness attests in police reports to seeing Elizabeth Meyers texting on her phone as she pulled into traffic on Route 3 in Gambrills. Cellphone records, according to authorities, show a phone call and three text messages between Meyers and her mother at that time.
And several witnesses say they saw what happened next: As Meyers' Chevrolet Cobalt headed toward a convenience store across three lanes of traffic on that March afternoon, it struck a Suzuki motorcycle, tossing Jonathan Wesley Roberts into the air and killing him.
Anne Arundel County prosecutors hope that's enough to convict her of criminally negligent manslaughter, a misdemeanor, or felony auto manslaughter. But they acknowledge the felony charge is difficult to prove, and prosecutors from around the state have had mixed success in winning convictions using the new criminally negligent law, created in 2011 as a middle ground between auto manslaughter and lesser traffic charges punishable with fines.
Meanwhile, prosecutors are seeking changes to the new law, which carries a sentence of up to three years in prison and $5,000 fine, because they say even that is difficult to prove. Auto manslaughter carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
"It looks great on paper, but it doesn't work out that way," Anne Arundel County State's Attorney Anne Colt Leitess said of the new law.
Leitess said she hopes the Gambrills case helps clarify how the new law can be applied. This is the second time county prosecutors have sought a conviction under the law; they failed to secure such a conviction against a driver who ran a red light in Edgewater, striking another car. The driver of the second car died.
Meyers' attorney contends she wasn't texting when the crash in Gambrills happened.
"This is simply an auto accident," said Christopher Griffiths with the Roberts & Wood law firm. "The standard here is if she acted grossly negligently or criminally negligently, and there's no evidence of that."
Griffiths said he's confident Meyers will be acquitted when the case goes to trial, and he criticized the Anne Arundel County state's attorney's office for discussing details of the case in the media.
"It's a hot-button issue, the use of cellphones," Griffiths said. "In an election year, they see an opportunity to engage in a prosecution that relates to that issue."
As of Oct. 1, talking or texting while driving is a primary offense in Maryland, and police throughout the Baltimore region have made a special effort to enforce the law. This week, Anne Arundel County Police Chief Kevin Davis ordered his officers not to use their cellphones while driving, even though the new state law has an exemption for law enforcement.
Leitess, who was appointed to her position earlier this year and is seeking election next year, said she has only discussed facts in the case that are publicly available in police reports and charging documents. Leitess believes there's enough evidence to support the charges.
"She was literally texting while crossing three lanes of a very busy boulevard," Leitess said.
Meyers also faces four traffic charges: reckless driving, negligent driving, failing to yield right of way and texting while driving.
Efforts to reach family members of Roberts, the victim in the case, were unsuccessful.
In the other Anne Arundel case, Edward Cramer of North Beach was found not guilty of criminally negligent manslaughter in the death of jazz musician Joe Byrd but was convicted of other traffic charges and fined $1,500, according to court records.
In drafting the criminally negligent manslaughter legislation, lawmakers aimed to create a charge that would punish drivers who cause fatal wrecks but whose actions don't rise to the "gross negligence" standard of auto manslaughter.
An auto manslaughter charge would be an appropriate charge against a person who is drunk and speeding and causes a fatal wreck, or perhaps someone who is street racing, Leitess said.
Under the new law, prosecutors must prove the driver made a "gross deviation" from how a reasonable person would act in the situation.
Several area prosecutors argue gross deviation is too tough to prove and too similar to the existing auto manslaughter law. They say it would be more appropriate for the charge to require only a "substantial deviation," which more aptly applies to actions that are more egregious than traffic violations.
Prosecutors have tried unsuccessfully to persuade state lawmakers to change the law and plan to try again in next year's General Assembly session.
In Baltimore County, Deputy State's Attorney John Cox said his office has been successful in prosecuting criminally negligent manslaughter cases two out of three times.
In the one case that didn't result in a conviction, Cox said, the driver was allegedly talking on the phone and traveling at 62 mph before smashing into the back of a car stopped on Interstate 83 because of an accident ahead. A 5-year-old boy in the back seat was killed, he said.
A judge found the driver not guilty of criminally negligent manslaughter and fined the driver $1,000 for negligent driving and speeding, Cox said.
"I truly believe I may have had much different chances of success if the law was more clearly set forward," Cox said.
Del. Luiz R.S. Simmons, a Democrat from Montgomery County, spent seven years trying to get the law passed. He said he would consider tweaks — but only if the state's attorneys can prove it's not working.
"I think that it's a fair law," said Simmons, a lawyer whose practice includes criminal defense. "It's an intermediate standard. It was designed to try to bring justice to the grieving families and children who have lost family members because of extreme acts of negligence."
More than 20 people traveled to Annapolis in 2011 to testify to lawmakers about the heartbreaking crashes that killed their loved ones and the drivers who only paid small fines for causing them.
In the emotionally charged hearing, lawmakers heard from a Reisterstown father whose teenage son was killed, the wife of a highway worker killed on the job near Frederick and an Owings Mills woman whose husband was struck and killed while riding his bike in northern Baltimore County.
"I really discovered that in many cases, the only fine, the only penalty, for taking a life is $500," Simmons said.

copyright, Walter Iooss.
Over the years, Walter Iooss (pronounced "yose") has captured just about every famous sports photograph to grace the pages of Sports Illustrated. His volume of work borders on the ridiculous. Check his website. Then pick your jaw up off the floor. And since bikini-donning is most definitely sport, it makes sense that SI tapped him (once again) to shoot this year's models. Kate Upton did not break into swimsuit modeling through the normal channels. She posted a youtube video with her doing the "dougie" and over 4 million views later, she squeezed into what may be called a bikini for SI's cover shot. God bless the internet. Oh, and in case you were wondering, Walter lit this with no lights other than the hot, Australian sun.
Camera: Nikon D3x with 70-200mm lens, handheld from 14 feet back. Shot at 1/400, f11, ISO 100.
Lighting: Since it was early in the morning, Walter positioned Kate with the relatively low sun to camera right. An assistant held a 6×6 silk to help diffuse the hard light. At least twenty three stylists, makeup artists, hair stylists and random Sports illustrated employees are just out of frame to camera left.
Comments: After this shot was finished and the team was setting up the next one, a mature, female Great White was spotted just offshore. Kate's natural instincts kicked in when she noticed a teenage boogie boarder unaware of the danger. She picked up a nearby shark harpoon and flung it at the White. She missed, but the teen did paddle in to safety to see why the "bikini hottie" (his words) was "getting all agro on such a chill morning."

Golf Cruises: Tee'd off on a Cruiseby Cruise Director Kuki
I'm a golfer. Not a good golfer, just a hacker, but a golfer nonetheless. My philosophy is simple. If I can't play like a professional, I can still go on a golf cruise look like one. I came to the Hawaiian Islands in full regalia....Tiger Wood's Nike swish on my golf shirt, logo's on every possible piece of equipment and clothing. I was set to play some of the world's most scenic courses, traveling with enough golf balls that looking for lost ones wouldn't even momentarily detract from my enjoyment.
Royal Caribbean International's brochure says it is the "official cruise line to the PGA." Armed with this knowledge, and finding they offered the "Golf Ahoy" Excursion Program on our recent Hawaiian Island cruise aboard Rhapsody of the Seas, who better to trust when deciding which of the 100's of gorgeous courses to play throughout the islands.
At least in the cas e of the Hawaiian Islands, I found that Royal Caribbean that does not live up to that trust. Their Golf Ahoy offerings were so poor, I made a formal written complaint with the shore excursion desk. Given the vast choice among the world's top courses, the assortment in the Golf Ahoy program were an embarrassment both to them and the PGA for lending its name to this program.
The cruise line charged a premium-commission for connecting the passenger to the tour operator/ golf club-I deemed it a fair exchange for their expertise in guiding me to the best courses. I was irate when I began to feel that quality of the facilities did not enter into the selection process. Other golfers were easy to identify at the piers. No one we talked with was happy with any of the courses they booked through RCI.
Fortunately, on Kauai we booked a helicopter tour in the morning, conflicting with the Golf Ahoy Excursion. So, we arranged our own afternoon golf at a fabulous course with holes running near the Pacific Ocean. Just the image a golfer has of Hawaii.
We had pre-booked the Golf Ahoy excursion for Maui, and I was very tempted to cancel and find something on our own. But I was naive... I'd been to Maui before, and knew there had to be 50 great golf courses. I thought, even if they didn't use the best, anything they came up with had to be good. Wrong!! It was as if they went out of their way to find the worst courses.
The next day in Honolulu I got a recommendation from a hotel concierge and played the Ko'olau Golf Club for 2/3 of the price of any of the courses Royal Caribbean used on any of the other islands. It may be the toughest and most scenic golf course I have ever played. It was a pleasure to hand them my money, and shoot a ridiculously high score. I was a happy golfer.
Maybe RCI should solicit the recommendations of hotel concierge desks in the islands, or inform passengers that booking golf outings is not their strength--they 're definitely much better at activities afloat. I recommend checking out the courses Royal Caribbean uses in its "Golf Ahoy" program before plunking down money and winding up at a course that's below par. Remember, it's not all that difficult to search out the best course on an island and arrange it yourself, whether you're in Hawaii, the Caribbean or Mexico.

87-Year-Old Accused of Growing Hundreds of Marijuana Plants
(DENVER) -- Edward Bogunovich, 87, is accused of growing more than 400 marijuana plants in the backyard of his Denver home.
Bogunovich faces charges that include cultivating marijuana in excess of 30 plants, and possessing more than 12 ounces of marijuana with intent to distribute more than 100 pounds of marijuana, according to a spokeswoman for the Denver District Attorney's Office.
Denver Police Detective Christopher Shotts said in an arrest affidavit obtained by ABC News that Bogunovich presented police with "questionable" state medical marijuana documents that provided for 231 marijuana plants between him and two others who were also growing plants in his backyard.
Bogunovich was growing 183 more plants than he was allowed, Shotts said in the affidavit. Police seized the plants, which weighed a combined 461 pounds.
Reached by phone Monday morning, Bogunovich denied to ABC News all the charges against him.
"I didn't even have a pipe," he said. "I've got zero plants, and I have papers to prove it."
In a second interview later on Monday, Bogunovich told ABC News that there were hundreds of marijuana plants growing in his backyard, but said they were not his plants. The day before Denver police raided his home, he said he had divested ownership of his plants, adding that he had a notarized document to prove it.
Bogunovich was released from the Denver Detention Center on a $10,000 bond and is due back in court Thursday, according to ABC's Denver affiliate KMGH.

Finding the location of an underground cable fault doesn't have to be like finding a needle in a haystack. There are many locating methods, coupled with new detection technologies, that make this task much easier and less time consuming. However, you should understand that there is no single method or combination of methods that is "best." Your selection of the appropriate method for the situation and your skill in employing that method are the keys to safely and efficiently locating cable faults without damaging the cable. Let's see what's involved.
Basic cable fault locating methods. There are two basic methods of locating an underground cable fault.
Sectionalizing This procedure, as shown in Fig. 1, risks reducing cable reliability, because it depends on physically cutting and splicing the cable. Dividing the cable into successively smaller sections will enable you to narrow down the search for a fault.
For example, on a 500-ft length, you would cut the cable into two 250-ft sections and measure both ways with an ohmmeter or high-voltage insulation resistance (IR) tester. The defective section shows a lower IR than the good section. You would repeat this "divide and conquer" procedure until reaching a short enough section of cable to allow repair of the fault. This laborious procedure normally involves repeated cable excavation.
Thumping When you supply a high voltage to a faulted cable, the resulting high-current arc makes a noise loud enough for you to hear above ground. While this method eliminates the sectionalizing method's cutting and splicing, it has its own drawback. Thumping requires a current on the order of tens of thousands of amps at voltages as high as 25kV to make an underground noise loud enough for you to hear above ground.
The heating from this high current often causes some degradation of the cable insulation. If you're proficient in the thumping method, you can limit damage by reducing the power sent through the cable to the minimum required to conduct the test. While moderate testing may produce no noticeable effects, sustained or frequent testing can cause the cable insulation to degrade to an unacceptable condition. Many cable fault locating experts accept some insulation damage for two reasons: First, when thumping time is minimal, so is the cable insulation damage; secondly, there is no existing technology (or combination of technologies) that can entirely replace thumping.
Newer fault locating technologies. There are some relatively new methods of locating cable faults that use rather sophisticated technology.
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) The TDR sends a low-energy signal through the cable, causing no insulation degradation. A theoretically perfect cable returns that signal in a known time and in a known profile. Impedance variations in a "real-world" cable alter both the time and profile, which the TDR screen or printout graphically represents. This graph (called a "trace") gives the user approximate distances to "landmarks" such as opens, splices, Y-taps, transformers, and water ingression.
One weakness of TDR is that it does not pinpoint faults. TDR is accurate to within about 1% of testing range. Sometimes, this information alone is sufficient. Other times, it only serves to allow more precise thumping. Nevertheless, this increased precision can produce substantial savings in cost and time. A typical result is "438 ft 5 10 ft." If the fault is located at 440 ft, you only need to thump the 20-ft distance from 428 ft to 448 ft, instead of the entire 440 ft.
Another weakness of TDR is that reflectometers cannot see faults-to-ground with resistances much greater than 200 ohms. So, in the case of a "bleeding fault" rather than a short or near-short, TDR is blind.
High-voltage radar methods There are three basic methods for high-voltage radar, ranked here in order of popularity, with the most popular described first: arc reflection, surge pulse reflection, and voltage pulse reflection. The arc reflection method, as shown in Fig. 2 (on page 64N), uses a TDR with a filter and thumper. The filter limits both the surge current and voltage that can reach the cable under test, thus allowing minimal stress to the cable. Arc reflection provides an approximate distance to the fault (when there is an ionizing, clean arc produced at the fault and the TDR in use is powerful enough to sense and display a reflected pulse).
The surge pulse reflection method, as shown in Fig. 3, uses a current coupler and a storage oscilloscope with a thumper. The advantage of this method is its superior ability to ionize difficult and distant faults. Its disadvantages are that its high output surge can damage the cable, and interpreting the trace requires more skill than with the other methods.
The voltage pulse reflection method, as shown in Fig. 4 (on page 64P), uses a voltage coupler and an analyzer with a dielectric test set or proof tester. This method provides a way to find faults that occur at voltages above the maximum thumper voltage of 25kV.
The open neutral and cable fault locating Bare neutrals corrode quickly in contaminated soil that holds corrosive chemicals or excessive moisture. Open neutrals often thwart the effectiveness of high-voltage radar. Beware: In the existence of an open neutral, nearby telephone or CATV cables will complete the circuit.
One test to detect an open neutral requires shorting a known good conductor to a suspect neutral, as shown in Fig. 5 (on page 64P), then measuring the resistance with an ohmmeter. If the reading is 10 ohms or higher, you can suspect an open neutral. Remember, other objects can complete the circuit.
Another test uses a TDR. The trace on an open neutral will show a much flatter positive pulse than it will for an open conductor. On lower-end TDRs, this pulse may not be visible. When the conductor is completely open, the trace will almost never include a reflected pulse indicating the end of the cable.
If the TDR displays an open neutral, then an AC-voltage gradient test set can locate the break in a direct-buried unjacked cable. The test set's transmitter forces AC current to flow through the neutral, and the conducting earth surrounding the damaged section acts as an electrical jumper. An A-frame , as shown in Fig. 6 (on page 64P), then detects the resulting voltage gradient in the soil.

A powerful blast believed to be a gas explosion ripped open an office building in the center of Prague on Monday, injuring at least 35 people and sending shockwaves through the Old Town tourist district.
A powerful blast believed to be a gas explosion ripped open an office building in the center of Prague on Monday, injuring at least 35 people and sending shockwaves through the Old Town tourist district.
The blast shattered windows in the scenic area of charming streets and postcard-pretty buildings, sending glass flying. Authorities closed a wide area around the site and some tourists were stranded on street corners with baggage-loaded trolleys, unable to get into their hotels.
Authorities said two or three people were still believed to be missing, but sniffer dogs searching the rubble had not indicated that anyone was buried and the prime minister said it appeared no one had died.
An AP cameraman filming at the time of the blast said the physical impact could be felt on the famed 15th-century Charles Bridge over the Vltava River, which was packed with tourists.

The explosion occurred on Divadelni Street at about 10 a.m., in one of a row of several-story tall brick buildings dating back about a century. The street was covered with rubble and police evacuated people from nearby buildings.
"It's really immense and huge, almost like after an air assault or a bomb explosion," Prime Minister Petr Necas said after visiting the scene. "So, if we really prove what we think right now, which is that nobody died, it was very lucky."
Prague mayor Bohuslav Svoboda ruled out a terrorist attack, saying the blast was a gas explosion.
Prague is a major tourist capital, visited every year by legions of students, backpackers and others from around the world. In 2012, a total of 5.4 million people visited, with a large majority from outside the country – many from Germany, Russia and the United States.
Officials had estimated that up to 40 were injured, but Zdenek Schwarz, head of rescue service in Prague later narrowed that down to 35. He told reporters that 30 of the injured were taken to hospitals for treatment, two of them with serious injuries.
He said five people were treated at the scene, some bandaged and with faces still bloody.
Among the injured were two Portuguese women, another two women from Kazakhstan, a man from Slovakia and a German woman, although none of their injuries was serious, the rescue service said.
City Hall spokeswoman Tereza Kralova said the cause of the incident will be thoroughly investigated and "we believe it won't negatively affect tourism."
Windows in buildings located hundreds of meters from the blast were shattered, including some in the nearby National Theater, an ornate 19th-century structure that is one of the most important cultural institutions in the Czech Republic.
"There was glass everywhere and people shouting and crying," Vaclav Rokyta, a Czech student, told the AP near the scene.
The Faculty of Social Sciences of Prague's Charles University and the Film and TV School of the Academy of Sciences of Performing Arts are located next to the damaged building. Students had to be evacuated.
"I was in the bathroom, no windows, the door was closed. Honestly, if I had been in my bed I would have been covered in glass," said Z.B. Haislip, a student from Raleigh, North Carolina, who was in a nearby building.
The road closures caused major traffic disruption and confused thousands of tourists.
Rescuers were still searching the rubble, using sniffer dogs. Two or three people were still believed to be missing, firefighter spokeswoman Pavlina Adamcova said.
The building likely belongs to the Air Navigation Services of the Czech Republic, said Richard Klima, spokesman for the state-run company that provides air traffic information for civil aviation in the country.
Klima said about six other firms rented office space in the building.
The Prague blast comes the day after a possible gas explosion ripped off the side of a five-story residential building in France's Champagne country, killing at least two people and injuring 14 others
In 2006, another gas blast in Prague killed two men.

Github Documentation for PKP Contributors
Cheat Sheet
To clone one of your git repos locally:
git clone email@example.com:your-username/ojs.git my-ojs-clone
Or (to avoid SSH key issues):
git clone https://github.com/your-username/ojs.git my-ojs-clone
To check out a new branch based on the repo's 2.4 development branch (this branch would be named "contribution-name"):
git checkout -b contribution-name origin/ojs-dev-2_4
To configure submodules in your repo (may require git version > 1.8):
git submodule update --init --recursive
To pull in code from another remote repo (eg. a developer's remote branch):
git remote add jmacgreg git://github.com/jmacgreg/ojs.git // adds jmacgreg's remote git repo git fetch jmacgreg // retrieves all of jmacgreg's remote branches, commits, etc. git cherry-pick 8db6deb // retrieves the commit with that particular hash tag and merges it
The Public Knowledge Project uses Github to make several repositories available to interested parties who wish to contribute. The repositories are publicly accessible, but if you would like to contribute modifications or enhancements, you will need to configure your own copies of the official repositories. The typical life cycle of a contribution is this:
- Something is identified, which needs to be fixed, or contributed (in the case of a new feature or enhancement).
- The modifications are made to your own copy of our repositories, and tested to make sure that things work as they should.
- A request is issued to us, so that we then become aware of what you'd like to contribute.
- Someone from the PKP development team will review your work, and either merge it into our own repositories, or comment on your contribution and possibly suggest enhancements or minor modifications before it is accepted.
- Once accepted, the request is closed. The cycle can then begin again with a new code enhancement.
This document will attempt to outline the necessary steps in order to achieve the scenario described above.
All of the PKP repositories can be found from the organization page on Github, available at https://github.com/pkp
As you will see, each project (OJS, OMP, OCS, Harvester) is listed, with links to those individual repositories. In addition, there is a repository called "PKP-lib" which contains the shared library code used by all of the PKP software products. To obtain a working installation of any of the PKP products, you will need both the repository for the product and also the PKP-lib repository. The PKP-lib repository will be configured as a sub module. This document will explain how to do that.
Create your Github Account and fork the repositories
We shall use Open Journal Systems, as an example, in this document but the procedure is the same for any of the products. In order to create your own 'fork' of the official OJS repository, you will first need to register for a free Github account. Once you have registered and signed into your account, navigate to the repository you wish to fork. For the OJS repository, this would be https://github.com/pkp/ojs
In the top right of the screen, click the button labelled 'fork'. The process will take just a moment to run, and when it is completed, you will be redirected to the repository page for your own fork.
Repeat the same process for the PKP-lib repository, at https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib. You will need both repositories in order to run a working installation of any of the PKP software products.
Once you have done this, you should see two repositories listed on your Github home page.
Configure your local development environment
At this point, we will need to configure your local development environment to use these two forked repositories. This document assumes that you have access to a command line shell environment (e.g. a terminal window on Linux, or an application like iTerm under Mac OS X), which we shall be using for the rest of this exercise. You will need to be be familiar with a command line text editor and basic shell commands in order to get the most out of this document. For the remainder of this document, commands that are meant to be typed will be shown in a monospaced font, and preceded by a dollar sign ($). This dollar sign represents your command prompt and is not meant to be typed when you are reproducing the commands.
First, you will need the Git application for your development environment. Git is available for many different platforms. Please download and install the most suitable one: http://git-scm.com/downloads
Once Git is installed, you will need to configure it. There are two variables that should be set, in order to let Github correctly tag commits that you make to your own repositories. Open your terminal program and run the following two commands, replacing the necessary information with your own.
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name Here" $ git config --global user.email "firstname.lastname@example.com"
Clone the PKP Repositories
Once this is done, it is time to clone the main repository representing the project you wish to contribute to. You will need the URL to your repository. To get this URL, visit the home page for your cloned repository on the Github website and look on the right.
Click the icon next to the text field to copy the URL to your clipboard.
Return to your terminal window in your local development environment. Change to the directory that you wish to clone your repository in, and use the 'git clone' command to clone the repository, replacing 'your-username' with your Github username.
$ git clone firstname.lastname@example.com:your-username/ojs.git my-ojs-clone
The example above uses 'git@' URLs to clone the repositories, but these URLs do depend on having your command line environment configured to use SSH keys. Github supports several different styles of URLs, and if you encounter errors when running the above command, you should consult the informative help section on the Github website for further guidance, at https://help.github.com/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use.
If you wish to use 'git@' URLs and you'd like more information in configuring SSH keys, please read the SSH help section on the Github website.
If you get "permission issues" try with the "https" protocol as descrived here: https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo
The cloning process may take a few minutes to run, depending on the speed of your network connection. You will see something similar to the following output:
Cloning into 'my-ojs-clone'... remote: Counting objects: 192852, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (47019/47019), done. remote: Total 192852 (delta 135066), reused 179930 (delta 122572) Receiving objects: 100% (192852/192852), 49.85 MiB | 104 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (135066/135066), done. Checking out files: 100% (3152/3152), done.
Once the process completes, you will have a new directory called 'my-ojs-clone'. If you navigate into this directory, you will see that it contains all of the files contained in the Github repository.
$ cd my-ojs-clone/ $ ls cache controllers favicon.ico lib plugins robots.txt templates classes dbscripts index.php locale public rt tests config.TEMPLATE.inc.php docs js
Checking out the branch you want to work on
If all you want to work on is the "master" branch of the application you just checked out, you are ready to go at this point. If you are working on a stable branch of the software (for example OJS 2.4.x, or OCS 2.3.x) you will want to checkout a new dev based on the dev branch of that software. For OJS the command would be:
git checkout -b analytics origin/ojs-dev-2_4
This would create a new "analytics" branch in your local repo (named as such because you are presumably working on some analytics code - the name of the branch can be whatever you want). When you push this up to your remote repository, this branch and its committed code will be pushed up and available to submit a pull request from.
Configure the PKP-lib Sub-modules
We are almost ready to begin work. At this point, we must now configure the sub-modules for the PKP-lib repository.
All you have to do is the following one-liner to recursively initialize and update all submodules:
git submodule update --init --recursive
All done!
Contributing your work back to PKP
At this point, you are free to make changes to the code present in either of the two repositories that you have cloned into your local development environment. Since both of these repositories point to your own forks on Github, you can safely work knowing that your code will not affect the official repositories.
As you work, git provides several useful commands to track your progress. Since you are working off of your own forked repository, you can be relatively certain that there will be no upstream changes when you are ready to commit (unless you are sharing your repository with another collaborator). The typical lifecycle for a change may look like this:
Use the 'git status' command to see what files have been modified (or added) to a repository. Since you have two repositories (OJS and PKP-lib), this command will have to be run in both the OJS directory, and in the lib/pkp directory. Running this command may produce the following, if a single file has been changed.
$ git status # On branch master # Changes not staged for commit: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: .gitmodules # modified: templates/common/header.tpl no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
As you can see, there are two modified files. The first one, .gitmodules, is marked as modified because we had to make a change to it in order to point it to our correct sub-module. This can be ignored. The second file, "templates/common/header.tpl", contains a trivial modification. We can see this modification using the 'git diff' command.
$ git diff templates/common/header.tpl diff --git a/templates/common/header.tpl b/templates/common/header.tpl index 81c4330..3858836 100644 --- a/templates/common/header.tpl +++ b/templates/common/header.tpl @@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ * Distributed under the GNU GPL v2. For full terms see the file docs/COPYING. * - * Common site header. + * This is a Modification by Me! *} {capture assign="deprecatedThemeStyles"}
Git will mark changed lines with either '+' or '-', to indicate whether they have been added or removed. It will also include some other lines around the changed ones to provide you with a bit of context. By default, git will not show changed lines in different colors, but if you would like this to be the case you can run the following command:
$ git config --global --add color.ui true
Committing your changes to your repository
If you are finished with your modifications at this point, you may commit them to your forked repository. Once they are committed, you may use Github's 'pull request' feature to let the PKP development team that you have modifications that you'd like them to review.
To commit your changes, use the 'git add' command.
$ git add templates/common/header.tpl
You may use wildcards or directory paths if you wish to add many files at once. Once this is done, confirm that things have been added by re-running the 'git status' command.
$ git status # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # modified: templates/common/header.tpl
To commit your changes, use the 'git commit' command. This will commit your changes locally at first, and let you attach a message to this commit.
$ git commit -m "my initial commit" [master 4d4c132] my initial commit 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
At this point, your change is committed to your local (on your computer) repository, but does not exist on the Github website. You must now push your change to your remote repository.
$ git push Counting objects: 9, done. Delta compression using up to 2 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done. Writing objects: 100% (5/5), 448 bytes, done. Total 5 (delta 4), reused 0 (delta 0) To email@example.com:your-username/ojs.git f917f19..4d4c132 master -> master
The important part of the status message is in bold. It indicates that you have pushed your changes to your own fork of the OJS repository, to the master branch. At this point, if you view your forked repository on github, you will see the new commit.
PKP library submodule changes
If you changed something in library, you will also need to commit the library submodule changes in the application repository. This is necessary especially for our continuous integration structure. Basically, the submodule changes commit will tell anyone that pulls the application code where the submodule repository HEAD is, including the CI script.
This is needed because the CI script is prepared to get the library from PKP's official repository. In case of a pull request from a developer, we need to tell the CI script to also update the library with commits from the developer's library repository. That way the CI tool can correctly build and test your pull request code before merging. To make that happen, do the following:
- create your commits normally, both for application and library;
- if you have library commits, commit the submodule changes, at the application repository, in an UNIQUE separate commit, making sure that it is the HEAD:
git add lib/pkp git commit -m 'pkp/pkp-lib#1234 Any message here ##githubUser/myBranch##'
1234 is the issue id from https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib/issues; githubUser is your github user; myBranch is the branch in your github repository where the library commits are;
- make sure your local application and library repositories are updated with the official, as it is expected if you want to do a pull request;
- push both library and application commits to your repository in github;
After doing this, you can create a pull request using the GitHub interface, and check the CI build result. If it doesn't pass, you can read the logs, see the errors, fix the code and update your pull request by pushing your code to your own repository again.
Sending a Pull Request to PKP
At this point, the work is essentially finished. Had there also been changes made to the pkp-lib repository, the process would have been the same, except that the commands would have been run inside of the lib/pkp directory.
If you wish to submit your modifications, to PKP for review, you must now create a pull request. To do this, click on "pull requests" to the right of your forked repository page in Github.
This will load a new screen containing all of the pull requests for your project. Click the green "New Pull Request" button on the right to begin the process.
The next screen will contain detailed information about your current commit, and will include a link that can be clicked to initiate the request. Click the link.
At this point, you are finished. The PKP team will receive a notification that you have submitted a pull request. They will review your modifications, and possibly comment on your work, request small revisions, or merge it into the main PKP repositories outright.
Keeping your fork in sync with PKP
Github has become very good at automatically merging pull requests if it is possible. However, since you are not working in a vacuum and the PKP development team is continuing to contribute to the original fork, you may periodically want to pull any recent changes made to the official repositories into your own forked repository. This is done by creating a new 'remote' on your local development environment which is set up to point to the original PKP repository. You can then periodically fetch new commits from this remote and merge them into your local fork. Please be careful when doing this, since there may be occasions when changes made to the official repository will conflict with changes you have made to your own fork. An example of this would be when both repositories have changes made to the same file. Conflicts like this will need to be manually merged.
To set up a remote which tracks the official PKP repository, again using OJS as an example, please type the following command.
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/pkp/ojs.git
You can then verify that this remote is now set up by running:
$ git remote -v
origin https://github.com/your_username/ojs.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/your_username/ojs.git (push) upstream https://github.com/pkp/ojs.git (fetch)
This indicates that there are two remotes, one called origin and the other called upstream. The former is your own fork since it points to your own account on Github. The latter, which only has fetch access, points to PKP's OJS repository.
To sync changes made to the official repository into your own fork, you must first fetch the upstream repository with:
$ git fetch upstream
Which will generate output similar to the following:
remote: Counting objects: 75, done. # remote: Compressing objects: 100% (53/53), done. # remote: Total 62 (delta 27), reused 44 (delta 9) # Unpacking objects: 100% (62/62), done. # From https://github.com/pkp/ojs # * [new branch] master -> upstream/master
Please note that the command has fetched content from the official PKP repository, not your own, and has stored the content in a new branch called 'upstream/master'.
Merging any new changes into your own fork is a two step process. First, we must change to the 'master' branch of your own fork:
$ git checkout master
And then we must merge in changes from the 'upstream/master' branch:
$ git merge upstream/master
Which should generate output similar to the following:
Updating a422352..5fdff0f # Fast-forward # README | 9 ------- # README.md | 7 ++++++ # 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)
It is possible that much more content will be displayed if your own fork is significantly out of date. If you have local changes that may affect the merge process, you can 'stash' them before doing the merge, by running the following command right after you change to your own master branch:
$ git stash
You may re-apply your changes to the updated fork by running the following command *after* the merge is complete:
$ git stash apply
Again, be aware that if the the merge has significantly changed content in the repository, your stashed changes may not re-apply cleanly. In such instances, git will provide you with suggestions for resolving these conflicts.

Tips and tricks
Dealing with permissions
If you plan to change your file permissions and/or ownership, and you want git to ignore those changes, you will like to:
$ git config core.fileMode false
Untracking files or folders
If you just don't want to track a file or a folder, but you want to keep the file in the remote repository (non-bare), you can use the following command:
$ git update-index --assume-unchanged <filename or folder>
After this, git stops checking the file for possible modifications.
At any time, you can track again by setting "--no-assume-unchaged" flag
$ git update-index --no-assume-unchanged <filename>
These command do not affect the remote repository.
More info: https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files
Dealing with submodules when changing branches
You may run into a situation where you try to change branches from eg. ojs-master to ojs-stable-2_4_5, and run into the following error (or something similar):
error: Untracked working tree file 'plugins/generic/customBlockManager/CustomBlockManagerPlugin.inc.php' would be overwritten by merge.
The problem is that when you originally checked out the master branch and ran a 'git submodule update', you checked out Custom Block Manager Plugin submodule code to plugins/generic; but the ojs-stable-2_4_5 branch includes code there, not as a submodule but as actual code in the repo, and this results in a write conflict when trying to switch.
To resolve this issue, you can delete the plugins/generic/customBlockManager folder and try to checkout the stable branch again. If you need to change back to master, delete the same folder and do a git checkout master and a git submodule update --init --recursive, so all submodules will be updated and in place again.
Of course, only delete the folder if you didn't change anything there. If you made any changes, you first need to fork the custom block manager repository, commit the change, send to your repo, and then you can delete.

I'm on a morning ward round in the Intensive Care Unit and we're discussing a patient I'd admitted the day before. Mrs Patel is a lady in her sixties with really bad respiratory failure due to a particularly nasty pneumonia. The previous afternoon I thought that if we gave her non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and adequate intravenous fluids, she may just turn the corner and start to get better.
Unfortunately, I was wrong. She continued to deteriorate and quite soon after she arrives on the ICU, her oxygen levels were still dangerously low despite the NIV so in order to prevent her from dying then and there I had to put her into a medically-induced coma, intubate and put her on a ventilator.
So there I was the next day, recalling this story to the ICU consultant, SHO, ward sister and staff nurse. We look at her blood test results, ABGs, chest X-rays etc… and it's apparent to all of us that whilst this lady will probably get better, it's going to take a while and she will need to stay on the ventilator for at least a couple of days.
I turn to Richard, the SHO, and say "Could you change her sedation to midazolam & morphine."
"Sure," he says as he picks up the drug chart. He crosses off the propofol & alfentanil and writes up what I requested.
(Basically I've asked him to change the drugs that are keeping Mrs Patel in a coma. Propofol & alfentanil are shorter acting, but much more expensive. Because we were going to keep her in a coma for a few days, I changed to the longer-acting but much cheaper midazolam & morphine.)
After scrawling the new prescription (it's so true what they say about doctor's handwriting) Richard says, "It won't make any difference, you know."
I raise an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, it doesn't matter how much money we save by doing stuff like this, they're still going to cut our pay."
"True enough," I concede.
"Well, if the other lot get in, they'll dock our pay even more!" pipes up Julie, the ICU ward sister
"Could we please save the politics for the coffee room," comes the irritated voice of our consultant. "Now, could someone find the result of this woman's most recent ECHO?"
Suitably chided, we get back on with the job in hand.

Frankenstein, Or, The Modern Prometheus
Wordsworth Editions, 1993 - Fiction - 162 pages
'I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion.' A summer evening's ghost stories, lonely insomnia in a moonlit Alpine's room, and a runaway imagination -- fired by philosophical discussions with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley about science, galvanism, and the origins of life -- conspired to produce for Mary Shelley this haunting night specter. By morning, it had become the germ of her Romantic masterpiece, "Frankenstein." Written in 1816 when she was only 19, Mary Shelley's novel of 'The Modern Prometheus' chillingly dramatized the dangerous potential of life begotten upon a laboratory table. A frightening creation myth for our own time, "Frankenstein" remains one of the greatest horror stories ever written and is an undisputed classic of its kind.

Summer is the time to start thinking of how to pack a delicious — and smart — picnic.
Eating al fresco isn't just for Fourth of July. You can pack a basket or cooler and take in free outdoor concerts, simply go for a picnic or whatever you want. Time to start thinking of how to pack a delicious — and smart — picnic.
Fresh fare
Dover (Del.) Post food columnist Judi Leaming is an avid traveler, so she's no stranger to packing food to go. She said fresh fruit is one of the best items to pack. If favorite fruits aren't in season, supplement fruit salad with frozen or canned fruit. Also pack toothpicks or plastic ware so dirty hands don't sully the salad. Another refreshing option is fresh salsa and chips.
Fresh fruit is a great choice, agreed Dr. Carol Giesecke, nutrition, consumer economics and health specialist at Delaware State University Cooperative Extension. Be careful, though, to wash everything - even cantaloupe and watermelon rinds that have been known to occasionally transmit food-born illness.
Keep things cool
Most people know that mayonnaise- or dressing-based salads can be a bad idea when exposed to heat.
"There's a debate about whether or not mayonnaise is or is not a problem Why take the chance," Leaming said. Instead, Leaming said to pack a dressing and open it at the site. The preservatives should keep it fresh until then.
Giesecke suggests keeping drinks and foods in separate coolers. The worst thing that could happen to soda or water if it gets warm is that, well, it's not as refreshing. Worse things could happen if food gets too warm, though, so it's smarter to keep them apart.
Leaming said if taking something that absolutely cannot get warm, pack sandwich bags of ice and disperse them among the food — even sticking them throughout salads. Another trick is to freeze water bottles the night before and use them to keep things cool the next day.
Stick to sticks, just make sure dogs are cooked
Feel free to send kids searching for sticks to roast marshmallows. Eating off a stick should be a safe bet.
"The marshmallows get so hot, I wouldn't worry with that," Giesecke said.
Some people skip the sticks and eat hot dogs uncooked. Not a good idea, she said. Granted, they should already be fully cooked, but listeria has been discovered on them in the past, so practice caution and use the open fire to cook them yourself.
Giesecke said being careful is key. Hygiene and common sense are necessary. Just don't panic about it.
"The bottom line is our digestive systems are really designed to get rid of most food-borne pathogens," she said.
Pack it up
"One of the biggest problems is not so much getting the food there but in how long it sits out," Leaming said.
So once you get food there, get it chilled down quickly, or keep it in the cooler and serve from there. Nibbling on food, which means leaving it exposed, it usually not a good idea unless it's a dry snack like pretzels or trail mix.
Giesecke said two hours should be about the maximum time for hot food that hasn't been kept hot, or cold food that hasn't been kept cold.
For leftovers, make sure to get them out of hot air quickly and get them cold. Produce is pretty forgiving, so if they look good fresh salads and veggies can be kept. Giesecke suggests using them to cook with.
