• As server density increases, so does I/O bandwidth. 10 Gigabit Ethernet provides the bandwidth needed by servers with powerful multicore processors.
• Gigabit Ethernet is often supported by access-layer switches in intermediate distribution frames (IDFs) integrated into rows of server racks. With Gigabit Ethernet, the low cost of copper cabling made end-of-row switch configurations practical. With 10 Gigabit Ethernet, the cost of fiber transceivers and cabling is substantial. The alternative, 10GBASE-T, uses more expensive cabling, imposes higher latencies, and uses considerably more power. These constraints suggest use of a top-of-rack configuration with a better cabling solution.
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet may be accompanied with an increased demand for uplink capacity from the access to the aggregation layer. Indeed, as virtualization software simplifies the movement of virtual machines from server to server, IP networking requirements become more fluid and less predictable, requiring top-of-rack switching technology that can scale.

10 Gigabit Ethernet Networks for Blade Servers
• Blade server switches add the complexity of another layer of switching and management. They impose their own oversubscription ratios, requiring careful allocation of applications to blades so that the chassis-level switch does not become a bottleneck. The benefit of blade server switches is that they reduce in-rack cabling and port requirements on access-layer switches.
• Pass-through configurations send all network traffic to the access-layer switch, where it can be managed along with the rest of the data center network infrastructure, and where uplinks can be oversubscribed based on actual traffic requirements, rather than blade server switch limitations. Pass-through configurations demand high port density at the top of the rack, an area in which the Cisco Nexus 5020 excels

Fidelity Investments announced Thursday it had launched Referral-EDGE, a Web-based research tool designed to help advisors find prospective clients and networking opportunities.
An extension of Fidelity's Centers of Influence (COI) and Referral Strategies program,Referral-EDGE helps advisors to identify potential referral opportunities by quickly searching a database of public information, including more than 2.5 million high-net-worth individuals, 1.5 million retirement plans and nearly 150,000 foundations and endowments. The database, which is updated daily, aggregates its information from more than 3,000 U.S. sources.
"It taps into a database of press releases, marketing leads, news releases and other areas focused on high-net-worth clients,"said David Canter, executive vice president and head of practice management and consulting at Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services. "The concept is based on seven seminars we conducted last year focused on helping advisors grow their business through networking within centers of influence. It's a third-party vendor, but it has been customized to the needs of our advisors."
Already in pilot with more than 200 advisory firms, Referral-EDGE provides access to a vast amount of data that allows advisors to quickly gain insight into existing clients, uncover prospective clients, identify retirement plan and foundation opportunities, and network with influential professionals.
Advisors can search the database for detailed profiles of existing clients, prospects or professional connections using an array of demographic variables, including geographic location (e.g., by zip code), level of assets (e.g., publicly traded investment details), professional and social affiliations (e.g., co-workers or alumni), and more. Once the advisor has selected the search criteria, Referral-EDGE aggregates and synthesizes detailed public information and generates a list of individuals that the advisor can evaluate for his practice.
Advisors also are able to save their search criteria to create automatic "Daily Alerts" which will notify them of any activity on a prospect or client. Customized exclusively for Fidelity clients, the Referral-EDGE "Quick Search" menu allows advisors to quickly research existing clients and find COIs in their city as well as locate high-net-worth individuals who have had recent promotions or changed companies.
Each month, Referral-EDGE adds more than 12,000 executives, reports nearly 30,000 wealth-creating events (e.g., new job appointments and promotions, mergers and acquisitions and trading activity) and processes over 2,000 foundation and endowment updates. Search results can be e-mailed, printed or exported into Excel or an advisor's customer relationship management (CRM) system.

SAO/NASA ADS -> Help -> Searching by Reference Information
|SAO/NASA ADS Help Pages
|Prev | Next
2.4 - Searching by Reference Information
2.4.1 - Searching by Journal/Volume/Page
The Journal/Volume/Page query page allows you to find articles from journal references by year, journal, volume, and/or page. Any of the fields is optional. The query will return all references that match the input parameters.
The journal name can be specified either as the full journal name (e.g. "Astrophysical Journal Supplements"), or by specifying the journal's bibliographic code abbreviation (e.g. "ApJS"). If the journal name as entered does not uniquely identify the publication, a menu listing close matches will be displayed.
The entries in any of the input fields can contain the wildcard character "?" (one wildcard character). For instance 2??1 in the page field finds pages 2001, 2011, 2101, etc.
2.4.2 - Searching by Reference
The Reference query page allows you to find articles from journal references by author and year, and optionally journal, volume, and/or page. The query will return all references that match the input parameters. The input can have several formats:
1: author [author ...] year [journal abbreviation [volume]] (eg Smith Jones 1999 ApJ) 2: author [author ...] et al year [journal abbreviation [volume]] (eg Smith et al 2001 SPIE 4500) 3: author [author ...] and author year [journal abbreviation [volume]] (eg Smith Miller and Jone 1998) 4: full reference string from a journal citation (eg Smith et al 2000, A&A 362, pp. 333-341)Versions 1 and 2 search for articles with the listed authors, with the first author in the list as the first author of the article, and all listed authors as co-authors. There may be other co-authors in the article, except for version 1 with one author, which searches for articles with a single author.
Version 3 searches for articles with the listed authors, with the first author in the list as the first author of the article, the last author in the list as the last author of the articles, all authors in the list as authors in the article, and the number of authors in the list as the number of authors in the article.
Versions 1, 2, and 3 may not contain any punctuation. They search for articles in the specified year, and optionally restrict the search to a specified journal.
Version 4 parses a complete reference string and returns the specified article if it can be found in the database.
2.4.3 - Searching by Bibcode
The bottom of the form allows retrieval of abstracts by bibcode. This field also may contain the wildcard characters "*" (zero or more wildcard characters, at the beginning or end of the bibcode) and "?" (one wildcard character, anywhere in the bibcode). Whole or partial bibcodes may be entered. For example:
1984ApJ...276..233P returns only that reference 1984ApJ returns all 1984 ApJ entries *ApJ...400 returns all entries from ApJ volume 400 198?ApJ..????L returns all ApJ letter articles from the 1980'sNote: For page numbers greater than 9999, the page number is continued in the 14th column.
Note: The ADS treats all bibliographic codes as case-insensitive!

But he is a guy who will sign off on selling tickets to the opposing team's fans before the hometown faithful are even given the opportunity to sell the joint out themselves. Which is really very evil. And wrong. (But congrats on the Bills games, Pauley!)
Jeff Blair posts in the Globe on Baseball blog that the Jays sold $10,000 worth of tickets through these special packages to Tigers fans, but that single-game tickets are not being made available until March 2 to fans in Toronto. (Actually, we're seeing February 15 on the Jays' site, but what do we know. We don't have Paul Godrey's cell number.)
Yesterday, when we blogged about this scheme, it was with the notion that a) it hadn't yet been launched and b) that this was in response to slow sales on the home front. But for the brass to assume that we're not gonna buy tickets? So wrong.
And just so that you can get yourself all the way to the other side of the looking glass, Godfrey makes this rather absurd claim:
"We can control the flow of tickets, so if the sales get really hot we can simply shut them down."So, let's see if we've got this straight: the Jays want to sell lots of tickets, so they sell them to people outside of the fan base first. But if they sell too many, they'll stop! Right away!
Also, one of the games being offered to Detroit fans is a Roy Halladay Kids T-Shirt Day...so will the ravenous hordes from Michigan be heading home with this powder blue gem? What frickin' use will it be to them, and moreover, what sort of marketing buzz will the Jays get when a chunk of these end up in a Detroit Metroland landfill?
Here's the point: We love the Blue Jays. Irrationally. We've already posted almost 500 items to this blog in less than a year, and we invest ourselves (financially and emotionally) in this team in a way that is quite unhealthy, to tell the truth.
And as much as Godfrey and Kevin Elster's brother are going to come out in the next day or so and spin this and say how much they love the Blue Jays fans, they don't get it. They don't get the fact that this makes Blue Jays fans and Toronto look like second-class citizens. They don't understand that this makes us feel like we're not pretty enough for them, and they don't understand why we're getting so worked up about them catting around with that skank down the road.
They really don't get it, and they likely never will, because this is their job. They are more concerned with boosting those ticket sales (for what...the sixth or seventh straight year?), because that's what they do.
We respect that they want to make the team as much of a financial success for Uncle Ted as they can, but is this really the way that they want to do it?
Update, 2:23 PM - The scandal widens!
As noted by Drunk Jays Fan Parkes in the comments (and from a different version of the Blair story than the one we read earlier), the Toronto Blue Jays are selling tickets for the OPENING GODDAMNED HOMESTAND to fans of the BOSTON EFFING MASSHOLE RED SOX.
Oh, but Godfrey is "sensitive" to the fact that maybe, just maybe, the die-hards will be a little effing pissed at the fact that the first choice of seats to the opening homestand are being offered to the douchebag fans of our chief rivals in the AL East.
It's going to be really fun to hear the Massholes cheering on the BoSox in OUR opening homestand, isn't it?

|Deed scans waiting to be processed
My main organizational method included a file naming pattern such as this: SurnameGivenName-Year-documenttype. That would translate as EdwardsJohn-1792-baptism.jpg. In this way I could see all my ancestors alphabetically, then chronologically by name and also quickly identify the specific document. I thought I was pretty clever using that system.
Now I don't feel so clever. The thing is I'm experiencing data overload. In the early days when I was simply downloading images from Ancestry.com that system worked pretty well. Now I am regularly taking photographs, scanning papers copies on my non-portable flatbed scanner, scanning from books and records with my Magic Wand and next up will be even more scanning, including microfilm, with the Flip Pal.
As far as I can see I have three challenges:
1) Processing all the electronic files and renaming them
2) Organizing them in a more specific manner (considering that the volume has increased 10 fold)
3) Deciding which files to attach to a genealogy software program
(Another challenge which I won't even try to address here is how to do all of the above for house histories which don't fit neatly into the family focused programs.)
My number one goal is to be able to put my hands on a specific file at a moment's notice. If I can achieve that, I will feel like I have a good system in place. I would also like to be able to process all of my electronic files efficiently. Right now I am a bit overwhelmed at the thought of renaming the hundreds that I can bring in during just one research trip.
Is anyone else dealing with this enormous jump in the intake of electronic files? How have you coped with increase in volume? How are you renaming your files? Is anyone using a database to manage their files? Or is there perhaps a software program that helps keep the chaos under control?
I would love to hear your suggestions!

- Members order online {Click} from a large range of locally produced food
- Food is delivered by local farmers and food producers.
- Members {Collect} from a local venue in the heart of Llanelli.
What's special about a Food Assembly?
We connect local food producers with local people at a local venue. Members browse a range of locally-produced Welsh food. They learn about the people producing their food. Most of our producers are family farms or businesses.
At the Assembly, members meet the food producers. Producers are paid after the orders are collected. As all producers and the Assembly host are local, 90% of what you spend remains in the local economy. This compares to supermarkets, where 50-75% of spending leaves the region.
Can anyone join in?
Browsing and ordering requires a Food Assembly account. This is a simple signing-up process. It's free and without obligation to order anything. All you need is access to the Internet. A smartphone app allows you to do everything from your mobile!
Participation as a food producer requires a process of registration and vetting by Food Assembly. We ensure producers adhere to standards. And that they are local to an Assembly. (Maximum distance 150 miles. Our average is about 12 miles!).
How did it start and why is it significant?
Food Assembly is a Europe-wide initiative. It started in France and now exists in many European countries.
Food Assembly provides an important alternative to mainstream food shopping. It is helping local food producers succeed. It is providing a more sustainable form of food shopping. We believe it provides a way to shop fairer…eat better…feel better!

Midterm Impact Report, Summer 2009
Midterm Impact Report, Summer 2009 Session During the fifth week of our summer programs, a letter was sent home with a random sample of 20 Morning Core Program participants inviting their parents to attend a discussion. TYO Psychosocial Specialist Suhad Jabi facilitated a focus group later that week with five mothers and one father of ten TYO participants. The focus group was an open discussion in which the parents introduced themselves and discussed their level of satisfaction with the program, changes in their children's behavior and suggestions for future program development. Suhad described the conversation as enthusiastic, lively and organic. The following Midterm Impact Report was compiled from testimonies given by those parents.
TYO compares initial, midterm and final parent surveys and focus groups to determine the impact of its program on each child and identify which children could benefit from further services either from TYO or by referral. Please check back later this week for our Final Impact Report for the summer session. The full text of the midterm report and past reports can be found in the Results section of our homepage.
After four weeks of the program, we see concrete and significant change in many of our children, especially in the following areas:
- Age-appropriate sociability with peers and adults, - Appropriate behavior (including the disappearance of bed wetting problems), - Improved vocabulary and increased vocalization and self-esteem
Abu Sami, father of Gofran, age 4, Balata refugee camp My daughter, Gofran, used to be selfish—wanting everything in her hands. She never shared and was aggressive with her siblings. My children would always fight and there was never any peace in our home. Despite my encouragement, they never managed their studies well. Now, Gofran is more cooperative and less aggressive. I see her respecting other children and finishing her tasks with more care. She is outspoken and shares stories with me about her classroom and her teacher Rana [TYO's art teacher.] She told me that when she is upset she wants to talk to Rana about her anger. She no longer has nightmares.
Om Ehab, mother of twins Sadeel and Sandee, age 5, Askar refugee camp Both Sandeel and Sandee have bed-wetting problems. During their first session [at TYO], the problem decreased to around three times a week. After the first week of this session, they both stopped completely. My daughters are happier and cooperate with each other much better. They are always talking about their teacher Rana [TYO's art teacher.]
Om Mohammad, mother of Mohammad, age 5, Khallet al-Amood My son used to be a rude child. He created many problems in the neighborhood. He was difficult to talk with and aggressive. He is a tough kid. I have always been a bit surprised that TYO doesn't send him home. Many times I have wanted to visit the TYO Center, but I do not come because I am afraid that I will hear the staff complaining about my son. I am very satisfied with the program. Now, Mohammed is better in every category. He has become polite, much calmer and sweet. He is more expressive and articulate about his ideas. Sometimes I cannot believe I am talking with a five-year-old kid.

Over the past 40 years, Daniel Brush has created an oeuvre unparalleled in contemporary American art—from large-scale painted canvases to gold-domed containers encrusted with gold granules so miniscule they must be fused with microscopic precision. Daniel Brush: Blue Steel Gold Light, opening October 16, 2012, brings together for the first time works from throughout Brush's career, including examples of his poetic paintings and drawings, a selection of his most significant steel and gold wall sculptures, jewelry made from plastic, aluminum, steel, and precious gems, and some of his earliest gold-granulated objects. The exhibition will be installed on MAD's second-floor galleries—the first time a single living artist has commanded that entire floor, which includes the Tiffany & Co. Foundation Jewelry Gallery—and will remain on view until February 17, 2013.

There's a need for speed at the annual Augusta Southern Nationals...but with boats topping out at speeds of over 200 miles an hour, safety is a big concern.
Rescue teams are hard at work on the water.
It's the thrill of the ride that keeps drag boat racers in the driver's seat, and spectators at the edge of theirs.
"To go from 0 to 200 miles per hour in three seconds on water is unbelievable," one driver said.
Yet what many forget is just how quickly it can take a turn for the worst.
"Just keep an eye on things and do what we got to do," said Paul Hosler, director of the International Hot Boat Association Rescue Team. Right as he finished speaking, a loud noise and cries of "Whoa! Whoa!" rang out behind him, so "Okay, I got to go," he said, unclipping his mike and ducking off screen.
In this case, a deafening crash signaled what could have been a deadly accident.
"We had a boat break a steering cable so he veered left and almost took out another boat," Hosler explained after the incident was over.
The accident was a reminder of why drag boat racing is considered one of the world's most dangerous sports.
"You get real high-speed crashes, and you never know if the capsule's going to be floating or if the driver's going to be under the water, whether he's hurt, uninjured...there's a lot of stuff going on, so it takes a long time to get somebody trained up to do something like this," Hosler explained.
Those dangers are why the IHBA Rescue Team never lets the dozens of men who put their lives on the line for the thrill of the ride travel alone.
Fortunately, there was only one accident during the entire three-day event. It happened Sunday, and there were no serious injuries.

One person was killed and another hospitalized after the box truck they were in crashed and was left dangling off the side of a South Florida highway overpass early Wednesday.
The incident occurred at5:25 a.m. on the State Road 84 westbound on-ramp from Interstate 95 in Fort Lauderdale.
WATCH: Video of the Dangling Truck
Two people were in the 2001 Isuzu Tracy Bakery truck when exited I-95 northbound and tried to make a left turn and head west on State Road 84, Fort Lauderdale Police Det. DeAnna Garcia said. It struck a barrier wall along the State Road 84 overpass, authorities said.
"As a result, the truck was suspended over the side of the overpass, partially off of the roadway," police said in a statement.
Somehow, the truck's front end was leaning against a pillar.
Congestion on South Florida's Roads 11th Worst in Nation: Report
Fire Rescue workers responded and secured the truck before sending up a ladder. Firefighters were able to pull the driver from the truck and walk him down the ladder, Garcia said.
The driver was transported to Broward Health Medical Center where he was in stable condition, Garcia said.
Hospital officials identified the driver as 43-year-old Buenaventura Fernandez, Jr., from Miami. He was treated for a small knee laceration and later released.
The passenger remained inside the truck and had been unresponsive, Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue spokesman Matt Little said.
VIDEO: Watch as the Driver is Pulled From the Truck
Three tow trucks were brought to the scene and were able to pull the truck back onto the overpass about an hour and a half after the crash.
The truck's passenger, who was not immediately identified, was later pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
Garcia said the driver showed bravery in escaping the dangling truck.
"It appears that he's a very strong-willed and a very strong person mentally and physically to be able to overcome such a tragic accident and then to be able to walk himself down a very high ladder to safety," Garcia said.
Debris from the truck fell onto a car that was driving on I-95 below, but no one was injured, officials said.
A woman who answered the phone at Tracy Bakery said she doesn't know the people who were inside the truck or where they were going to or from when the crash happened.
The crash left the two right lanes to the State Road 84 on-ramp blocked and two northbound lanes of I-95 just south of State Road 84 closed and caused traffic delays in the area.
Florida Department of Transportation officials said the bridge was being inspected and the ramp would be closed periodically throughout Wednesday and Thursday as crews clean up the debris and repair the 10 feet of concrete barrier wall that was damaged.
Engineers are also inspecting the pavement and the column that was struck by the truck.
Police are investigating the cause of the crash, Garcia said. Anyone with information is asked to call Fort Lauderdale Police at 954-828-5754.

That video creeps me out everytime I watch it. Mostly because it hits close to home. I grew up in New Orleans and spent most of my life there before moving to the North East 10 years ago.
I was actually at that Six Flags a few short years before Katrina hit and I've seen most of the stuff in the video when it was functioning normally. Seeing it this way is haunting in a very personal way.

Its a real shame that place ended up that way.
But they should keep it there and at least make some kind of horror carnival movie or something before it gets torn down!

Teenage girl dies of suspected drug overdose after attending weekend rave at L.A. Coliseum [Updated]
A 15-year-old girl has died of a suspected drug overdose after attending a rave over the weekend at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, a hospital official said Tuesday.
The girl was one of two rave attendees who were in critical condition at California Hospital Medical Center after the 14th annual Electric Daisy Carnival. According to the event's website, guests had to be at least 16 to attend, raising questions about how the girl gained admission.
She and the other critically ill patient had been taken to the downtown Los Angeles hospital by ambulance directly from the venue, officials said. Both were treated for drug intoxication in the intensive care unit.
"She came in as an emergency patient from the rave. She was in respiratory arrest when she got here, and she never recovered," said Katreena Salgado, a spokeswoman for the hospital.
Salgado said the 15-year old girl arrived non-responsive and never woke up. She died shortly before 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
A full determination of the drugs in the dead teen's system will not be known until an autopsy and toxicology tests are completed.
[Updated at 5:50 p.m.: Pat Lynch, who manages the Coliseum, was stunned to learn of the death Tuesday.
"Oh, no. Oh, my God," Lynch said. "I don't know what to say. That's just terrible."
"I'm at a loss," Lynch said. "... Sixteen is what the promoter requested, and I just don't know…. I've got to find that information."]
The event, held Friday and Saturday, drew about 185,000 people to carnival rides, five stages and performances by Moby, Will.i.am, Steve Aoki and Deadmau5. About 120 required transport to local hospitals, mostly for drug intoxication.
The volume of patients in need of hospital care led several emergency room physicians on Monday to call for an end to raves at the Coliseum.
Cathy Chidester, director of the county Emergency Medical Systems agency, said Monday that officials treat raves at the Coliseum like a "multi-casualty incident," which she said was similar to planning for a disaster like the Chatsworth Metrolink train crash, which killed 25 and left more than 130 others injured.
Tuesday's death was the latest in a string of high-profile problems at raves held at public venues. Earlier this year, at least 18 drug overdoses tied to Ecstasy were reported at a New Year's Eve rave at the Los Angeles Sports Arena — next to the Coliseum. And two men died of suspected drug overdoses during a Memorial Day weekend rave at the Cow Palace in Daly City, south of San Francisco.

SINGAPORE: An Indian gang-rape victim died Saturday in Singapore after suffering severe organ failure, the hospital treating her said, in a case that sparked widespread street protests over violence against women.
Authorities in India have been preparing for the possibility her death could ignite more protests after riot police were deployed on the capital's streets in the wake of the attack amid simmering anger at the daily dangers women face.
The 23-year-old was airlifted to Singapore on Thursday after she was attacked by six men on a bus in New Delhi on December 16, and hit with an iron bar. Some Indian medics had criticised the decision to move her.
"We are very sad to report that the patient passed away peacefully at 4.45 am (2045 GMT) on 29 Dec 2012," Kelvin Loh, the chief executive of Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital, said in a statement.
"Her family and officials from the High Commission of India were by her side. The Mount Elizabeth Hospital team of doctors, nurses and staff join her family in mourning her loss."
She had remained in an extremely critical condition since being admitted to the hospital, Loh said, with doctors mounting a last-ditch battle overnight to save her life.
"Despite all efforts by a team of eight specialists in Mount Elizabeth Hospital to keep her stable, her condition continued to deteriorate over these two days," Loh said.
"She had suffered from severe organ failure following serious injuries to her body and brain. She was courageous in fighting for her life for so long against the odds but the trauma to her body was too severe for her to overcome.
"We are humbled by the privilege of being tasked to care for her in her final struggle."
The victim was treated in Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital after the attack.
The decision to fly her out of the country by air ambulance was taken at a meeting of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's cabinet on Wednesday and the government had promised to pay all her medical bills.
Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said the government's only concern was to ensure the victim received "the best treatment possible".
But Indian newspapers suggested the authorities, who have struggled to contain the nationwide protests over the attack, were keen to have her transferred out of the country.
An unnamed doctor who was part of a team of experts consulted about the transfer told The Hindu newspaper they had only been asked whether it was safe to move her and not whether it was the best course of action.
"The question was not whether there were any deficiencies in treatment that would be met by moving her… She was being given the best possible care," the doctor was quoted as saying.
Samiran Nundy, chairman of the organ transplant and gastro-surgery department of Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, told the paper the transfer made little sense.
"I just can't understand why a critically ill patient with infection in blood and body, high grade fever and on the ventilator is being transferred," he said.
Singh has ordered an official inquiry into the gang-rape and new laws to protect women as well as stiffer penalties for the worst sex crimes.
The government has also announced plans to post the photos, names and addresses of convicted rapists on official websites to publicly shame them. The campaign will begin in Delhi, which has been dubbed India's "rape capital".
Shinde also said Delhi police would soon launch a drive to recruit more female officers as a confidence-building measure.
India was rocked by a wave of protests in the week after the attack, prompting authorities to seal off large parts of the capital and to deploy riot police with water cannons tear gas.
The Delhi gang-rape has shone the spotlight on a crime that occurs on a daily basis in India, with most such assaults taking place in rural areas.

A state circuit judge yesterday dismissed a grass-roots lawsuit against Kuilima Resort Co. that would have required a new environmental study before officials could use a 20-year-old development plan to expand the Turtle Bay Resort.
Keep the North Shore Country and the Sierra Club had sued in May in response to a massive development plan that could add 3,500 more hotel and condominium units to an otherwise rural area stretching from Kawela Bay to Kahuku Point. Although the area's master plan allowing for such a development on the 880-acre resort was approved in 1986, the project never came to fruition because of financial problems.
Judge Sabrina McKenna found that there were no substantive changes to the proposed project or significant environmental impacts not covered in the initial environmental impact statement. Her ruling yesterday follows a Sept. 29 decision from the city to tentatively approve Kuilima Resort's subdivision application, a decision which essentially pushed the controversial project forward.
The judge also ruled yesterday that the city's approval "was not arbitrary or capricious."
Nicola Jones, chief executive officer of Kuilima Resort, said that the dismissal of the lawsuit will give the resort more time to seek community input to create a balanced development. Jones also said that the company has taken steps to protect the environment.
"Protecting the environment is important to us and has been a priority throughout the planning process," Jones said. "We have conducted updated studies on traffic impact, water quality and other important aspects of the proposed development; however, the ... supplemental environmental impact statement was clearly not necessary."
Jones said that Kuilima Resort has had dialogue with key community members and that the resort feels that discussion is more beneficial than litigation. The company has not been able to meet with members of Keep the North Shore County or the Sierra Club because of litigation.
But Gil Riviere, president of Keep the North Shore Country, said after the ruling he was disappointed in McKenna's decision, but added that "It's not over."
Plaintiffs' attorney Laura P. Couch of Alston Hunt Floyd & Ing said that her clients will discuss filing an appeal, which they have 30 days to do.
"I don't agree with the judge's conclusion," Couch said. Since the development was originally approved, there are new traffic patterns and socio-economic conditions at the resort, she said.
Jeff Mikulina, director of the Sierra Club Hawaii Chapter, said: "There have been substantial changes in the last 20 years to warrant further review. We think the residents of the North Shore deserve to know what the current impacts will be if the resort is expanded."
Doug Cole, a Keep the North Shore Country board member, said both groups will continue their efforts.
"We've had island- and nationwide support," Cole said. "We've received letters and donations from people from all over the islands and from the North Shore as well as places like California and Canada. We're still optimistic."
Plans for a Nov. 25 dinner and silent auction fundraiser at Waimea Valley are still on, Cole said.

Revision as of 00:38, 5 July 2008
The show Futurama is an example of a show reaching popularity after its time. For a variety of reasons it never gained a very wide following when originally aired, it found new life in syndication and on DVD.
The Fox Years
Futurama was produced and broadcast by originally by 20th Century Fox. Its creators, Matt Groening and David X. Cohen, did all the early design and writing of the show, from the original conception through to production. During production, they stayed closely involved, to ensure the show stayed on-vision and up to quality.
Fox executives, initially excited, didn't really understand the show when episodes started coming out. Consequentially, the show was not given the best treatment by the network. It was plagued with schedule changes and cancellations; of the first production season of 13 episodes, only 9 episodes were aired during the first broadcast season. Fox maintained this treatment for a while before announcing they were pulling the plug on the series.
The show aired for a total of 5 seasons, airing a total of 72 episodes comprising 4 production seasons. This period also saw the start of the continuing series of comics and the release of a game.
The DVD volumes came out, and they outsold everyone's expectations. When Cartoon Network picked up the syndication rights and began airing the show weeknights on Adult Swim, the show built up its fan base and quickly became one of the network's highest-rated shows. This surge of popularity added fuel to the existing fan community, who have been crying out for more episodes since news of the show's cancellation by Fox.
The show will continue to air on Adult Swim until the end of 2007, at which time their contract expires and the rights will go to Comedy Central, who out-bid Cartoon Network for the contract renewal. Comedy Central will broadcast the show until 2012.
The Wait
Rumors have abounded for years. However, intensity of rumors increased in 2005, and in January of 2006 Billy West made an announcement on his web site. He stated that David X. Cohen called him and told him they got a green light to produce 4 feature-length Futurama movies for release to DVD. Production is supposedly to begin in July of 2006, and the first DVD couldn't be expected to hit shelves until at least late 2007. Fans everywhere wait with baited breath, hoping Fox doesn't change their minds or back out of the deal.
Direct-to-DVD Films
Four DVD movies are being planned. Matt Groening, David X. Cohen and numerous writers from the original series are working on the movies.
The first movie, "Bender's Big Score" (BBS)
was released on November 27, 2007. It was written by Ken Keeler, with the story by Keeler and Cohen. The second movie, "The Beast with a Billion Backs" (TBwaBB)
was released on June 24, 2008. It was written by Eric Kaplan, with the story by Kaplan and Cohen. "Bender's Game" (BG)
is proposed to be released in the fall of 2008, and "Into the Wild Green Yonder" (ItWGY)
in sometime in 2009.
Comedy Central
In late June 2006 it was learned that Comedy Central had resurrected Futurama. At least 16 new episodes will be produced for the first time since the series originally ran from 1999-2003. Comedy can run both the existing and new episodes in January 2008 when their contract takes effect. Katey Sagal was first to confirm the return during an interview on the American series Late Late Show, she had been so excited she didn't read the entire contract before signing. The previously discussed movies are to be made as episodes.
The question remains now whether or not Comedy Central will buy a sixth production season. While the films are seen as a return of the show, it is not a complete return of the show as a TV show. A new production season was not considered possible during the Adult Swim reruns, since Adult Swim or Cartoon Network probably did not have the intend or money distributed to buy another season of Futurama, which is proposed at around the price of 1 million dollars. But Comedy Central may have that will.
It should be noted that it is not Comedy Central bringing back the films, but rather FOX. Which is why their production codes are still associated with FOX. FOX may also buy a sixth production season of the show, but it seems less likely right now (perhaps also with the writers of Futurama making fun of them in the first film).

A Cure for Hospital Design
Strategies to Keep Patients and Their Visitors From Getting Lost
Endless corridors that seem to lead nowhere. Poorly marked entrances. Multiple elevator banks and incomprehensible signs.
Hospitals are realizing they have a design problem as patients and visitors struggle to navigate the maze of the modern medical complex. Confusing layouts and signage add to patients' anxiety at a time when many are feeling ill and are coming to the hospital to undergo tests and procedures.


text: What I suggest as a second shot (as if this scene could ever be set up again) would be to move the camera to the right or just turn to the right and move in or zoom in just a little closer, keeping the items on the far left side of the photo out of the frame and seeing all of the hammer, but still keeping Son and Dad as the center of interest. A little flash fill would bring out more detail and you would see more of the expressions of the two subjects, but by adding flash to this scene it might ruin a real special mood. Good shot.

Yanks' Rivera begins long goodbye
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Mariano Rivera and his family walked into the pavilion behind the third-base stands at Steinbrenner Field followed by his New York Yankees' teammates.
It was the start of the long goodbye for baseball's greatest closer.
Dressed in a dark jersey top and pinstriped uniform pants, Rivera announced what already had leaked out in prior days: This will be his 19th and final major league season.
And the 43-year-old has a clear vision of how he wants his career to end.
"The last game I hope will be throwing the last pitch in the World Series," he said. "Winning the World Series, that would be my ambition."
Rivera said he made the decision before arriving at spring training. With the entire Yankees' team looking on -- including longtime teammates Derek Jeter and Andy Pettitte -- Rivera said he knew the time was right for his decision. Rivera sat a table and team officials, led by managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner and manager Joe Girardi, sat nearby.
"I have just a few bullets left," he said.
He then made his first game appearance since April 30, throwing 15 pitches during a 1-2-3 fifth inning against Atlanta. Looking like his overpowering self of old, Rivera retired Dan Uggla on a popup to second, then threw called third strikes past Juan Francisco and Chris Johnson.
"It was great to be on the mound again," Rivera said with a big smile.
Rivera jogged onto the field from the right-field bullpen to a standing ovation as Metallica's "Enter Sandman" was played, then left the mound to another loud ovation. He called the whole day "overwhelming."
"It's wonderful," Rivera said. "I can't ask for more than that."
With a dominating cut fastball few batters have figured out, Rivera holds the career saves record with 608 and has helped the Yankees win five World Series titles. He combined with Jeter, Pettitte and Jorge Posada to form the Yankees' Core Four.
"We just have a special relationship," Pettitte said. "I don't know how to explain it. Obviously, when you spent as much time together after as many years as we've been together, you just kind of grow a little closer to one another than you would with other teammates. He's always been there for me."
Rivera briefly spent time with Pettitte and Jeter following the news conference, then headed toward the back field next to the pavilion to work out with the other pitchers.
"What almost got me was seeing the whole team there," Rivera said. "I was like, 'Wow!' It was great that Joe allowed it."
Jeter said it's great that Rivera has "come to peace with what he wants to do."
"Now he can enjoy this season," the Yankees captain said. "I think it's going to be a special year for him. I'm happy for him. He's made this decision, and it's the best one for him and his family."
Rivera missed most of last year after tearing his right knee while shagging flyballs during batting practice in early May. Rivera said he would have retired at the end of last season if he had not gotten hurt.
"I didn't want to leave like that," he said. "I felt like I wanted to give everything."
Rivera also said he wanted to give Yankees fans around the major leagues a chance to see him one more time, knowing this will be the end.
"I'm actually appreciative that we get to enjoy him for one more year," Girardi said. "I think he's prepared to go 100 percent. I think he'll have a good year. It's been a real treat for me. I was relaxed when he came into the game as a catcher, and I'm relaxed when he comes into the game as a manager, so that's probably about the highest compliment you can pay a closer."
Rivera's wife and two children were by his side for the news conference. He began by playfully thanking the Yankees for giving him a new contract for two additional years through 2015 -- which would break a team policy of not negotiating new deals before the old ones expire.
"It's not too easy when you come to a decision like this," Rivera said, turning serious. "After this year, I will be retired. ... Now you're hearing it from me. It's official now."
While others have proclaimed him the best closer in baseball history, Rivera wouldn't put that label on himself.
"I don't feel myself, the greatest of all time. I'm a team player," he said. "I would love to be remembered as a player who was always there for others."
Yankees general Brian Cashman said he knew Rivera's intention was to retire last season.
"He's irreplaceable," Cashman said. "He is the greatest of all-time. I've known him since he was in the minor leagues, and he's never changed once. You see a lot of players that get a lot of money, become famous and change over time. He hasn't changed a bit. I've got more respect for him as a player and person because of that."
Hall of Fame reliever Goose Gossage, a Yankees' guest instructor, called Rivera "not only a great pitcher, but as great a person." Gossage noted that the role of closer has gone from multiple innings to basically a one-inning job.
"Mo is as good as anybody that's ever done it," Gossage said. "The last thing I want to do is take anything away from this guy, he is great. But I would throw out the challenge that, do what we did and we'll compare apples to apples. We didn't get to pitch just one inning, but I believe today is the way they should be used."
Former Yankees catcher Jorge Posada said there is only one Mariano Rivera.
"There won't be another person who will come along and do what he did," Posada said in a statement. "I'm so happy he is going out on his terms. Now every time he steps into a ballpark this year, teams and fans can celebrate and appreciate what he has meant to this great game we play."
Rivera said he will miss being on the field but not the long travel and many nights in hotels. He will be the last player to wear No. 42 -- retired for Jackie Robinson by Major League Baseball in 1997 but allowed to remain for players using it at the time.
"Being the last player to wear No. 42 is a privilege," he said.
Rivera has not pitched in an exhibition game this spring training. He usually goes at his own pace in camp, working in the bullpen and throwing in simulated games -- while avoiding bus trips to opponents' spring ballparks.
The 12-time All-Star has earned a record 42 saves in the postseason while putting up an 0.70 ERA. He began his big league career in 1995 and has spent his entire time with the Yankees.
Rivera made just nine appearances last season before he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee on May 3, and he had surgery on June 12. Rivera returned to his native Panama earlier this week on a personal matter.
The Rivera era with the Yankees almost got derailed during spring training 1996, when some in the organization were not happy with the play of Jeter, then a rookie, at shortstop. After an injury to veteran Tony Fernandez, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner held meetings to consider trading Rivera to Seattle for veteran shortstop Felix Fermin.
"The Boss was honestly considering it, and forced us to have some serious conversions about it" Cashman said. "It was a fight to convince the Boss to stand down and not force us to do a deal. Thankfully we didn't do that deal, the Boss listened, backed down, made us go through the fire drill, and that was as close as we ever came to trading Mariano."
As for the future, Rivera wants to take time off after this season to spend with his family. He envisions himself working in baseball, perhaps with minor leaguers.
"I definitely will be involved in the game some way, some aspect of the game," he said.
Rivera maintained his announcement was a cause for celebration and should not be a worry for the Yankees, who have come to regard him as a constant.
"There's nothing to be sad," Rivera said. "I did everything within my power to enjoy the game, to do it well, to respect the game of baseball. Have so much joy, and no one can take that joy away from me."

The Meatrix II: Revolting
The Meatrix II: Revolting is now online! Following in the critically acclaimed hoof prints of 2003's The Meatrix, the popular spoof of the feature-length film The Matrix, The Meatrix II features a trench coat-clad cow named Moopheus, a pig named Leo (who just might be "the One"), and a saucy chicken named Chickity. The animated short reveals the cruelty behind the commercial dairy industry, including the use of growth hormones and the practice of cutting the tails off of cows.
Humorous and educational, the goal of The Meatrix series is to motivate consumers to purchase food produced in sustainable ways that protect animals, as well as the environment, communities and workers. Like its predecessor, the sequel is coupled with online resources and general literature that informed diners can leave at restaurants. The Meatrix team has also recently launched a campaign asking Starbucks to stop using milk with recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH).

Animal Passions and Beastly Virtues
Reflections on Redecorating Nature
By Marc Bekoff
Temple University Press, 2005
ISBN: 1592133487; 320 pages, $26.95
In this collection of essays, author Marc Bekoff brings together some of the most important findings he has presented throughout his career as a biologist and an animal behaviorist. By asking questions such as, "Do animals experience emotions?" and "Do animals have a sense of self?" he gives the reader detailed investigations into the minds of the creatures around us. Yet while Bekoff successfully challenges traditional views of animal behavior, his explanation of the distinction between animal rights and animal welfare advocates is inaccurate. He mistakenly suggests the goals of those in the animal protection community are the same as industry's maligned view of "welfare."

Writers: No one likes a back-story dump. No one. As a reader, I detest them. As an author, I fear them. If you open your work with a back story dump, you sink your manuscript. Period. Splash. Sunk. I've tried to articulate the problem to writers who do-the-dump and have struggled getting my point across. The number one argument I get to justify the dump? They *want* the reader to know everything they know. "It helps to set up the story."
Beep. Beep. Beep. Did you hear that? It was a big back-story dump truck backing up.
Okay, so then I got a great idea for an analogy.
Dating. Everyone knows the dating game scenario. We all get this. Let me know what you think!
My date-a-sexy-beast-scenario.
You (your manuscript) just got picked up by an super-hawt-sexy-beast (agent, editor, reader). You *want* them to learn all about you (your manuscript/characters) but you don't tell them everything that happened to you after they slide up and buy you one drink (open the document). Right? Am I right? Can you imagine?? You just can NOT do that. And they don't want you to.
Watch how this turns out:
Pretend I'm having a drink with my girlfriends. A sexy beast saunters up and says "How YOU doin?" (Yeah, I haven't dated since Friends was on Thursday nights at 8pm. So-not-the-point.)
Anyway the sexy beast asks how I am and instead of giving him a once over, coy smile and tip of the head (<– breathes on knuckles…I've still got the moves baby.) Instead of hooking him and reeling him in over the course of our courtship, (the way writers need to do to readers) I say:
"Well, ya know, I'm not super- great. I ate a crapton of watermelon at a picnic today, and to be honest, I'm feeling pretty bloated. In fact, I had planned to wear a super-sexy island blue mini-dress, but it was so tight across my belly. Can you imagine? No way, so I'm wearing this. It's cute, but I bought it last year and never wore it because it was too big back then. I was total vegan last summer and never had to worry about the bloat….well…no…that's not the whole truth. There were still a few days each month when….wait….where are you going?"
Yeah. If I were that chic, I'd get very few *readers* winky-wink, if you know what I mean.
Final words: Trust me, stick with the coy smile, head tilt, smile combination. Invite the reader to get to know you. Give them a chance to want to for heaven's sakes! And for the love of all that is holy, don't EVER tell a sexy beast you're in your fat dress because you're bloated!

66 HASKINS & SELLS September Values Sound and Otherwise CLEOPATRA, made a prisoner by Octavius, submitted to her captor a statement of her possessions, telling him: "This is the brief of money, plate, and jewels, I am possess'd of: 'tis exactly valued; Not petty things admitted." It would be interesting to know how Cleopatra arrived at the exact values of the items listed in her brief. The basis of valuation was not stated. Perhaps some idea might be gathered from the ensuing dialogue between the queen and her treasurer, as related by Shakespeare: Cleopatra: "This is my treasurer: let him speak, my lord, Upon his peril, that I have reserved To myself nothing. Speak the truth, Seleu-cus. What have I kept back?" Seleucus: "Enough to purchase what you have made known." Much has been done since the time when Antony and Cleopatra dreamed away an empire, by way of developing the theory of value and defining bases for the valuation of various goods for different purposes. It is not to be presumed, however, that one common basis of valuation has come to be accepted and utilized generally by business men in recording financial transactions and in preparing financial statements setting forth the condition of their enterprises. A study of a number of balance sheets undoubtedly would disclose the fact that several methods of valuation are in common use, even in the case of similar items—some sound, and some perhaps otherwise. The valuation of fixed assets is a case in point. Fixed assets consist among other things of property such as land, buildings, machinery, and sundry equipment, which provide a concern with a place wherein to carry on its operations and the mechanism wherewith to produce and sell its products. These items are termed fixed inasmuch as they are not consumed in one operation, but continue in use for a length of time—indefinitely in the case of land. Their cost, in the case of depreciable items, is spread over several fiscal periods. The extended period of their life, during which conditions change and prices fluctuate, gives rise to the question of how they should be valued from one period to another. A familiar basis of valuation of such fixed assets is cost. As to land, cost means original purchase price, plus expenses incurred in effecting the purchase, plus such subsequent improvements as may properly be capitalized. In the case of buildings, machinery, and equipment purchased or erected on contract, cost consists of original purchase contract price and all expenses connected therewith, plus such additional expenditures as are necessary to render the buildings fit for occupancy or the machinery and equipment available for use, plus the cost of subsequent additions by way of improvements and betterments. Cost, in the case of buildings and machinery constructed by the concern which is to make use of them, consists of materials and labor required, and other expenses, such as architects' fees, directly connected with such construction. Orthodox accounting theory frowns on the inclusion in cost of any profit on own building operations. Cost less depreciation, or depreciated cost value, means cost as defined above, less the depreciation or decline in value sustained to a given date on buildings, machinery, and equipment, and certain depreciable elements included in the cost of land, such as sidewalks for example, computed on the basis of cost according to any one of a number of methods in use. A second kind of value frequently used in connection with plant property may be termed reproduction or replacement cost. Obviously, this does not apply to land,

SHIFT LAB Bus Cards
, a web and mobile developer, embraced the beauty of materials when designing their business cards that we produced a while back. For the logo side of the card we used Mohawk Via Vellum Safety Yellow, in an80# cover, which is a stock that is vibrant in color without being fluorescent. The logo was printed using a tonal ink, creating just a subtle color change between paper and logo. The information side of the business card was letterpress printed on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Smooth 165# cover with a black letterpress ink as well as a custom mixed yellow ink that matches the Mohawk stock on the reverse. After printing the two stocks were custom duplexed together, for a card with a total thickness of 245#, and the edges were colored black.

BAGHDAD — A suicide car bomber attacked a provincial police headquarters in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk on Sunday morning, the police and the city's civil defense director said, killing at least 36 people and wounding 105. Three other suicide attackers who tried to enter the police headquarters after the blast were killed by the police.
Security forces cordoned off the site and closed government buildings and the main roads in Kirkuk as ambulances took the wounded to a hospital. The commander of the Kirkuk police was among those wounded and was taken to Erbil for treatment.
Nauzad Mohamed, a police officer who was wounded in the attack, said the bomber was "driving a police car and wearing a police uniform."
"The explosion happened when we asked him to stop for a search," Mr. Mohamed said. "Then everything collapsed. I can't believe I survived."
After the blast, others attacked the police headquarters on foot.
Faris Mustafa, a police officer who also was wounded, said: "I saw the three suicide bombers running into the police building. They were throwing hand grenades at us. We opened fire on them and killed them immediately."
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. Kirkuk's governor blamed terrorist gangs seeking to destabilize the city, about 180 miles north of Baghdad.
Kurdish troops and Iraqi government security forces have been sharing responsibility for security in Kirkuk. Kurds want to incorporate it into their semiautonomous region in northern Iraq, but Arabs and Turkmens in the city oppose such a move.
The attack on Sunday was the third in recent weeks in the area.

Border Security Overview
Protecting our borders from the illegal movement of weapons, drugs, contraband, and people, while promoting lawful entry and exit, is essential to homeland security, economic prosperity, and national sovereignty.
Protecting Our Borders
America shares 7,000 miles of land border with Canada and Mexico, as well as rivers, lakes and coastal waters around the country. These borders are vital economic gateways that account for trillions of dollars in trade and travel each year. They are also home to some of our nation's largest – and safest – cities and communities. Protecting our borders from the illegal movement of weapons, drugs, contraband, and people, while promoting lawful entry and exit, is essential to homeland security, economic prosperity, and national sovereignty.
Creating a Safer Border Environment
DHS works to secure our borders through the deployment of personnel, technology, and infrastructure; as well as working closely with our neighbors in Canada and Mexico, and our many federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial partners.
CBP Border Patrol agents, agriculture specialists, Air and Marine agents, and officers guard America's front lines. These men and women prevent terrorists and their weapons from entering the United States while continuing their mission of seizing contraband and apprehending criminals and others who illegally attempt to enter the United States.
Through increases in Border Patrol staffing; construction of new infrastructure and fencing; use of advanced technology—including sensors, radar, and aerial assets –investments to modernize the ports of entry; and stronger partnerships and information sharing, we are creating a safer, more secure, and more efficient border environment.
Making Travel Faster and the Border Safer
By expanding trusted traveler programs, we are enhancing our ability to expedite and facilitate known, low risk "trusted travelers" arriving into the United States. This makes it faster and easier for millions of visitors and business people to cross the border while allowing CBP officers additional time to focus on higher risk, unknown travelers.
DHS is continuing to make our border states safer. CBP Border Patrol apprehensions have dropped by 53 percent since 2008, indicating that fewer people are attempting to illegally cross the border; while the Border Patrol is better staffed than at any time in its history with more than 21,000 border agents— most of these agents at the Southwest border.
Patrols in the Southwest have substantially increased the amount of drugs, guns, and cash seized over the last three years:
- 74 percent more money
- 41 percent more drugs, and
- 159 percent more weapons have been apprehended.
Additionally, since 2008, crime rates have fallen in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas.

Governors from three meat-producing states today defended Beef Products Inc., the company that makes lean finely textured beef, which now-former USDA scientists nicknamed "pink slime," after a walk through the company's plant accompanied by ABC News.
"Let's call this product what it is and let 'pink slime' become a term of the past," Texas Gov. Rick Perry said after the tour, after which officials showed off t-shirts with the slogan, "Dude, it's beef!"
Stung by consumer reaction to the process used by BPI, grocery stores pulled beef containing the filler off the shelves and BPI closed three of its four plants for lack of demand. The governors said that the treatment the product received in the media was unfair because it is not only safe, but also nutritious and allows grocers to sell leaner ground beef at a lower cost.
"It's beef, but it's leaner beef which is better for you," Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad said. "We take this off the market then we end up with a fatter product that's going to cost more and is going to increase the obesity problem in this country."
ABC News joined Branstad, Perry and Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback on a tour of the facilities where beef scraps, mostly fat and connective tissue, are processed. The scraps are put through centrifuges to separate the fat and then through pipes, where they are spritzed with ammonia gas before emerging as a pink mix that is then frozen and sent all over the country.
Until recently, the lean finely textured beef, known to critics as "pink slime," was added to America's fast food, school lunches and 70 percent of all ground beef sold at grocery stores.

ABC News was not allowed to ask questions during the tour, but at a news conference later, the governors went on the attack.
Branstad, who received $150,000 in campaign contributions in 2010 from the founders of BPI, organized the governors' tour and press conference, but told ABC News that the contribution played no role in his decision to hold the event.
"I always fight for my constituents and I will always fight for what is right," he said.
Nancy Donley, president of Safe Tables, an organization dedicated to preventing foodborne illness, lost her 6-year-old son in 1993 from E. coli. Donley warned that doing away with lean finely textured beef will make the meat supply more dangerous.
The Safe Tables website until recently listed BPI as its largest funder, providing more than half the organization's budget. However, the disclosure of BPI's funding recently was removed from the website, with Safe Tables saying the donor now wishes to be anonymous. The relationship was not mentioned at today's news conference or in a recent ad in the Wall Street Journal in which Donley defended the company.
"No price can be put on my son's head," she said today. "I can't be bought and neither can my organization. We represent the victims."
Also on stage for the news conference was the Dr. Elisabeth Hagen, under secretary for food safety at the USDA. Hagen assured the public that the product is safe to eat, but still refused to answer any questions from ABC News after the news conference. ABC News has been asking to speak with Hagen for three weeks, but she has declined to speak, claiming a tight schedule.
BPI founder Regina Roth concluded the press conference by inviting the governors to chomp down on BPI-provided burgers complete with the lean finely textured beef they were defending and which the "pink slime" critics want clearly identified on packaging.
"We're going to have some burgers with LFTB in them, so come on in and let's go eat," she said.

Maine, NH delegations invite Foxx to visit decaying bridge
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) � New Hampshire and Maine's congressional delegations are inviting newly confirmed Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx to visit a decaying bridge between the two states in need of replacement.
The Sarah Mildred Long Bridge connects Portsmouth, N.H., to Kittery, Maine. Its rail component enables safe and efficient transportation of nuclear waste from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
The delegations say the 70-year-old bridge is in urgent need of replacement. Both states came together to submit a joint application for a $25 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant for the project.
The bridge has been closed multiple times in recent years due to malfunctions and unplanned major repairs.
The goal is to have construction of a replacement bridge finished by 2017. The total cost is estimated to be about $160 million.

This line reports the fair value of the CDOs held by the LLC. Because the FRBNY is the primary beneficiary of the LLC, the assets and liabilities of the LLC are consolidated onto the balance sheet of the FRBNY.

2014 CMS Summer Meeting
University of Manitoba, June 6 - 9, 2014
Boyer has popularized multimagic squares where the rows, columns and main diagonals of full cover magic squares have common "magic" linesums for integer powers p of each element. Bimagic squares corresponding to p=2 begin at orders 8 and 9, trimagic for p=3 begin at order 12, etc.
Rogers observed before 2007 that Latin squares are "multi-semi-magic" for rows and columns. Eggermont called diagonal Latin squares "infinitely-multimagic squares" in a 2004 talk.
Now after Nordgren drew our attention to Knut Vik Latin designs (which begin at orders 5,7,11,...) and have the pandiagonal property that all transversals parallel to the main diagonals have a common linesum, we realized that Knut Vik squares are "pandiagonal multimagic" to all integer powers. In fact to any power!
Moreover following Heyadat and Federer, and our recent studies (Cameron, Rogers and Loly 2013), these can be compounded to construct Knut Vik designs of multiplicative orders 5*5,5*7,... The corresponding matrices are highly singular.
Some properties which can be compounded and iterated are discussed.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 132 diseños de 33 diseñadores freelance.
UnitCase Software - http://unitcase.com
I am an independent software developer. I am just starting my freelance business, and I need some marketing materials. I just got my logo from 99designs, and now need business cards. (Maybe brochures next?)
I can do all kinds of software. But setting up websites gets old. What I really enjoy is building real software: custom systems that are event-driven, scalable, robust, apart of a business product.
Important qualities to me: precision, quality, speed. Think: Japanese car manufacturing.
I am targeting small business owners who need custom programming work. As alluded to above, I can help the solo business owner who needs a simple static corporate website, to startups who want to build a novel software product, and build it right. This market is of course existing, but growing.
I need two sides for the card. Required information for side 1:
Name: Gerard Sychay
Title: Owner
Phone: 859-802-5513
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Website: unitcase.com
Tagline: Precision Software One Unit At A Time
You have complete liberty over the side 2. Maybe just the logo. One idea is to incorporate my vCard QR code (attached) on this side, but I am not sold on the idea. A 2nd idea is to incorporate the following quote:
"There are two ways to build software: Make it so simple that there are obviously no bugs, or make it so complex that there are no obvious bugs."
- C.A.R. Hoare
But again, I'm not married to the idea.
The logo files are attached. Other than having the required info, you have complete liberty over the card design. Horizontal, vertical, left-to-right, top-to-bottom, any way you see fit.
Important qualities to me: precision, quality, speed. Think: Japanese car manufacturing.
File format is 2 x 3.5 in. cards and must be provided as AI, PSD, or PDF. Though multiple formats would be nice.

Curated by Anthea Foyer & Siobhan O'Flynn
technology + art + love = ? leads us into the spaces that explore what it is to love and to express love, longing, lust. New innovations in technology both enhance communication and some argue isolate us further, yet in the midst of our crazy, complicated, busy lives we still create room for communicating love and lust, for touching and being touched, for being present and together. The emotions that make us so strongly human drive the need for our connection and mutual recognition and new forms can amplify old emotions in surprising ways.
This is a love story….

After today's news reports, Lamborghini felt the need to drop a quick press release making it clear they're not yet clear on whether to produce the four-door Estoque. Thanks, now it's much more clear.
Here's the full press release from the Italian bull-headed brand:
In reference to recent press coverage commenting on cancellation of its Estoque project, Lamborghini has not taken any decision to produce its Estoque concept car, the four door performance saloon concept shown at Paris motor show in 2008.
As stated when the car was shown, Lamborghini believes that if a third model line should ever be added to its product line up, a four door luxury performance saloon could be a logical product strategy. No decision has been made to produce the Estoque.
