About 20 miles beyond the red-tile roofs of downtown Santa Barbara, it begins: the rolling blond hills that go indecently green in spring, the massive estates and miniature horses, the sprawling vineyards and "Sideways" scenery, the dude ranch with 10,000 acres, the old stagecoach stop with boar on the menu and bikers in the parking lot ....
Santa Barbara County's wine country has a lot to offer. The nine micro-itineraries that follow are a quick introduction for newcomers, part of our ongoing series of Southern California Close-Ups.
1. To camp or 'glamp'?
About 13 miles before the northbound 101 Freeway bends inland at Gaviota Pass, El Capitan State Beach and its neighbors offer places to splash in the Pacific and sit around a campfire before the wine country begins in earnest. The state beach is a rugged stretch of sand-and-rock coastline, and it includes a campground (which, in September, was afflicted by a behind-schedule construction project). Nearby, just inland from the 101, is El Capitan Canyon (11560 Calle Real, Santa Barbara), a comfy, woodsy collection of cabins, fancy tents on wooden decks, "adventure yurts" and prices that are typically north of $150 a night. It's "glamping," some would say. There's also Ocean Mesa at El Capitan (100 El Capitan Terrace Lane, Santa Barbara), a more conventional campground (20 tent sites, 80 RV sites) that's also outfitted with a heated swimming pool and laundry room. At $40-$50 a night for a tent-camping spot, that's value.
2. Beer, boar and bikers
Cold Spring Tavern (5995 Stagecoach Road, Santa Barbara) may be the greatest throwback in Santa Barbara County — a 19th century stagecoach stop built from logs, where you can huddle by one of the stone fireplaces or dine on boar chops and rabbit medallions. If you take Highway 154, it's on the way from Santa Barbara to Solvang, and it's open for lunch and dinner daily. But the place truly comes alive on weekends. Breakfast is served, live music plays from afternoon into the evening, an armada of Santa Barbara bikers arrives, and lots of beer gets sold. Just a few miles north of the tavern, at the foot of the mountains, is Lake Cachuma, with fishing, boating and camping.
3. Clogs, Chumash and Solvang
Don't pretend you're above Solvang. The city, founded in 1911 by Danish educators as a little slice of Denmark in the California outback, might be the global capital of windmill kitsch. Stroll down Copenhagen Drive, pause at the big red wooden clogs outside the Solvang Shoe Store (1663 Copenhaven Drive, Solvang), then nose around the Viking-themed restaurants and Nordic knife merchants, which are joined by neighbors such as the Thomas Kinkade Gallery and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.
Some people find Solvang irredeemably cheesy, but not you. You understand that this is a rare and endangered habitat. Others want to fancy up Solvang so that it fits better with the wine country and the horse properties. Meanwhile, the Chumash are buying real estate. Besides the wealth-generating Chumash Casino Resort (3400 E. Highway 246, Santa Ynez; hotel rooms closed for remodeling), the Chumash own the 122-room Hotel Corque (400 Alisal Road, Solvang) and the 71-room Hadsten House Inn (1450 Mission Drive, Solvang). So that windmill kitsch might not last. While sorting out your feelings about this, take advantage of the easy public parking and public restrooms. Get a snack at the Greenhouse Bistro (487 Atterdag Road, Solvang) or the Succulent Café (1555 Mission Drive, Solvang). Have a peek at Old Mission Santa Inés (1760 Mission Drive, Solvang) at the east end of town. Plan an upscale evening at the Mirabelle Inn (409 1st St., Solvang) or a cheekier, more affordable night amid the Danish Modern rooms of the Hamlet Inn (1532 Mission Drive, Solvang), where rates are often less than $100. If it's summer, check to see what's on at the Solvang Festival Theater (420 2nd St., Solvang), where PCPA Theaterfest typically stages several shows under the stars from June through September. (PCPA's home is in Santa Maria.)
4. Steak and pea soup
You're not going to spend this holiday retracing locations in "Sideways." But you need to know that the Hitching Post II (406 E. Highway 246, Buellton), seen prominently in that 2004 film, is just off the 101 with a long list of steaks barbecued Santa Maria style over oak. It's a logical place to pause and get your bearings among the area's several distinct wine-growing regions, including the Santa Maria Valley to the north; Los Alamos Valley; and the long Santa Ynez Valley, which includes the Santa Rita Hills to the west; and Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara to the east. (For details: www.sbcountywines.com.) But remember, you can also escape the wine world for a spell. Duck into Figueroa Mountain Brewery (45 Industrial Way, Buellton), where a sampler of beers goes for $6. If you're traveling with kids, do what your dad and his dad probably did — save a few bucks and bed the family at Pea Soup Andersen's Inn (51 E. Highway 246, Buellton). Yes, it's next to the goofy old Andersen's restaurant. It's got clean rooms of reasonable size, a heated pool, a little putting green and rates that often are less than $80.
5. Good life at Alisal Ranch
Then again, maybe you're better off. And maybe horses or golf courses inhabit your dreams. If so, the place for you may be Alisal Ranch (1054 Alisal Road, Solvang), tucked into the hills just outside Solvang. Born as a dude ranch in 1946, it has 73 rooms and suites set on 10,000 acres, with a 100-acre private lake, a busy corral, 50 miles of riding trails, two 18-hole golf courses, seven tennis courts, pool, spa and fitness center. Rates begin at $515 a night. The style is early California, with sepia-toned photos on the walls, Indian-patterned blankets on the beds and oak in every fireplace. Men are required to wear jackets at dinner (which is included in the rate), but for the most part, Alisal is designed to make you feel comfortable. In summer, scores of children join the guest population. Up on a nearby ridge, you can see the spot where President Reagan's helicopter used to land when he was visiting his Rancho del Cielo.
6. Tiny, mighty Los Olivos
Los Olivos is tiny but mighty — full of wine, art, equestrian accessories and countrified emblems of status and wealth. Choose among more than 20 winery tasting rooms. Browse the Bin 2860 Wine Shop in the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn (2860 Grand Ave., Los Olivos). Get lunch on the patio of Los Olivos Wine Merchant & Café (2879 Grand Ave., Los Olivos), where you can peruse a 37-page wine list while eavesdropping on gossip about quarter horses and real estate. Inspect Stetsons and boots at Jedlicka's Saddlery (2883 Grand Ave., Los Olivos) or crafts and baubles at Artisans' Gallery (2432 Alamo Pintado Ave., Los Olivos). Look at outdoorsy art at the Wildling Museum (2928 San Marcos Ave., Los Olivos). Consider spending $1,595 on a set of wind chimes the size of a pipe organ. (As of late September, the chimes were hanging in front of the J. Woeste nursery and garden shop at 2356 Alamo Pintado Ave., Los Olivos). Alas, you can't visit the late Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch (which is about five miles north of town). But you can park and marvel at the miniature horses just outside town at Quicksilver Ranch (1555 Alamo Pintado Road, Solvang). Or take winding Ballard Canyon Road to do some tasting on the oak-shaded patio deck at the Rusack Vineyards (1819 Ballard Canyon Road, Solvang). While you're at it, remind yourself that the modern wine trade took root here in the 1960s and early '70s, when pioneers such as Pierre Lafond's Santa Barbara Winery, Firestone Vineyards and Zaca Mesa Winery opened. Now, for a romantic, sophisticated dinner, try the signless Sides Hardware & Shoes restaurant (2375 Alamo Pintado Ave., Los Olivos). Then turn in for the night at the charming Ballard Inn (2346 Baseline Ave., Ballard) just down the road. If it's full, ponder the neo-Victorian Santa Ynez Inn (3627 Sagunto St., Santa Ynez) or the smaller, more eccentric ForFriends Inn (1121 Edison St., Santa Ynez), which has a Water Tower suite.
7. Los Alamos Rising
Long-slumbering Los Alamos, about 12 miles northwest of Los Olivos and 20 miles northwest of Solvang, is waking up. Start with breakfast at Café Quackenbush (458 Bell St., Los Alamos), then wander into the adjoining Art Brut Gallery, where the fetching California landscapes include Alan Freeman's boldly colored rural scenes. Then take a spin out Aliso Canyon Road to become one with the landscape, especially if the oaks are looming like gray ghosts in the dwindling morning mist. Or head straight to Gussied-Up Antiques (349 Bell St., Los Alamos), the Depot Mall (515 Bell St., Los Alamos) or Gentleman Farmer (363 Bell St., Los Alamos) to rummage through vintage merchandise. For a sophisticated sandwich or salad lunch, dip into the Bell Street Farm Eatery & Market (406 Bell St., Los Alamos), which opens only Fridays through Mondays. After a few more hours in tasting rooms or chasing antiques, you're ready for dinner at Full of Life Flatbread Pizza (225 W. Bell St., Los Alamos), another lively restaurant, open for dinner only Thursdays through Sundays. Then browse past the cool neon sign of the Alamo Motel (425 Bell St., Los Alamos) before casting farther back and claiming your room at the 1880 Union Hotel (362 Bell St., Los Alamos), with its 14 historic rooms, creaky floors, vintage lobby, restaurant and saloon. If your budget is really tight or you need a pool, head up the hill to the Skyview Motel (9150 U.S. Highway 101), where the 32 rooms feature hand-painted decorations and your tab is sure to be less than $100 a night.
8. Lompoc and points west
Most wine country tourists stick to the east side of 101, but not you. You head west. At Lompoc (pronounce that LOME-poke), if it's late spring or summer, you'll be greeted by colorful flower fields. Enjoy, but keep going west and take Jalama Road, a two-lane country byway that will deliver you to underappreciated coastline just south of Vandenberg Air Force Base. If you time it right, you'll arrive at Jalama Beach County Park just in time for a breakfast burger (bacon and egg included) at the Jalama Beach Store. If you're a beach person, there's no need to go anywhere else, perhaps for days: Not only are there campsites at Jalama Beach, there are wood cabins overlooking the largely empty shore. If you're not so beachy, head back to Lompoc. Oenophiles should head for the Wine Ghetto, an industrial park now occupied by 19 winery tasting rooms (and a gunsmith, among others). If you've got kids in the car, head instead to La Purisima Mission State Historic Park, which has atmospheric old buildings (built in the 18th century, rebuilt in the early 20th) and historical exhibits, as well as a bull with crazy, big horns, several horses and a few pigs.
9. Foxen Canyon and Santa Maria Valley
The Foxen Canyon Wine Trail (www.foxencanyonwinetrail.com) covers 16 wineries and lots of gorgeous ground. It's about 28 miles from the Andrew Murray Vineyards in Los Olivos to Cambria winery in the Santa Maria Valley, and much of the route follows Foxen Canyon Road, a curvy route that skirts low-lying vineyards along one stretch, then climbs elsewhere to follow oak-studded ridgelines with big views. Vintners advise tasters to expect more Syrah, Grenache and Viognier at the south end, more Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at the north. Tasting-room atmosphere can vary just as widely as the wine you taste. The Foxen tasting room (7600 Foxen Canyon Road, Santa Maria) is not only modern in style (completed in 2009), but the winery and tasting room are solar-powered. Meanwhile, just up the road, Foxen's 7200 "tasting shack" (7200 Foxen Canyon Road, Santa Maria) remains small and rustic. It also has several autographed copies of "Vertical," a 2011 sequel by "Sideways" novelist Rex Pickett. If you're lucky, they'll still have the one that Pickett inscribed with a no-Merlot quote, which can't be reprinted in a family newspaper. To cap off the day with some red meat, head to the original Hitching Post (3325 Point Sal Road, Casmalia) — the one that wasn't in "Sideways." It's a reminder of what this area was like in less glamorous days, a busy joint in the gritty hamlet of Casmalia on a half-forgotten road that stops (for civilians) at Vandenberg Air Force Base.

At the heart of the issue was the distinction between fields caused by high-current or conductor separation and those caused by a "net current."
In a ground-floor space of a Class-A building in Westchester County, N.Y., the hum of high-speed electronic devices was noticeably absent. Elevated electric and magnetic field (EMF) levels had rendered the space unusable for most computers. The building's engineering staff thought electricity feeds were the culprit. But when they prepared to take corrective action, they realized the situation was far more complex than they expected. As it turned out, trying to remedy the initial problem revealed a series of seemingly unrelated and far more potentially dangerous ones.
Exasperated, the engineers contacted the Power Quality Group from ConEd — the local utility for Westchester — to verify field levels and propose corrective strategies. The group conducted the first general survey of the affected space and established a field strength averaging 29.1 milliGauss (Fig. 1).
After reviewing the data, the engineering staff hired Field Management Services (FMS) to supplement the Power Quality Group's work. It soon became clear that a variety of sources, both inside and outside, produced the fields inside the space.
The investigation led to the detection of wiring errors in the building's upper floors. These Code violations were causing return current to travel on grounding conductors throughout the building, increasing the fields coming from the switchgear room. High-current conductors in the 460V network protector vault at the building's edge and high-current conductors in the transformer vault outside the building were adding to elevated magnetic fields in the space. Multiple ground paths to the 460V network protector and switchgear room were creating unusual field levels above the vault. In addition, the investigation revealed that the neutral bus connection in the main distribution panel had been improperly installed.
Reducing Field Levels
At the heart of the issue was the distinction between fields caused by high-current or conductor separation and those caused by a "net current." Although the fields from a high-current conductor are fundamentally indistinguishable from those from a net-current wiring error, the available mitigation strategies are quite different. Therefore, as the investigation revealed the various sources, the corresponding mitigation strategies were adjusted accordingly.
As is often the case, this project required a phased approach, starting with the more obvious, physically accessible sources and proceeding toward the more intractable, complicated ones. The FMS personnel started with the wiring errors on the top floor and worked down toward the vault. In the beginning, the main distribution circuit had 140A of net current. After completing the corrections — a process that required several months — the levels had been reduced to 11A.
After resolving the wiring problems, the building engineer discovered a dangerous flaw. On a routine inspection, he found the bolts on the neutral bus inside the building's switchgear were glowing cherry-red and smoking. An emergency call immediately brought the Power Quality Group back to the site.
Prior to the wiring corrections on the upper floors, a portion of the return current flowed on the grounding conductors, causing a potentially dangerous installation error to go undetected. Now that the return current was flowing properly on the neutral bus, it was overheating — an indication that someone had improperly installed the bus connection. The building engineer, with the assistance of power quality personnel, installed an emergency shunt until a new bus bar section could be installed safely at a later time.
The average field strength after reducing the building's net currents measured 35.2 milliGauss. Surprisingly, the fields actually increased from the previous average of 29.1 milliGauss.
A Problem on the Move
The wiring corrections reduced the net currents on the major circuits from the basement distribution and the fields on the upper floors. But the computer model, which FMS personnel initially used to develop a mitigation plan, had predicted much lower levels in the first-floor space. These remaining fields appeared to come from the vault and switchgear rooms below the space.
FMS investigators created a map of the current flows inside the switchgear rooms. The computer model showed current flows producing high levels of magnetic fields from an alternate, parallel neutral current path, which was located between the utility-owned transformer and network protection vault and the neutral-to-ground bond in the building's main distribution equipment (Fig. 2).
Approximately 40A of neutral current flowed on the building's steel components between the transformer/network protection vault ground point and the main distribution equipment neutral-to-ground point. This produced the fields of a net-current circuit condition in the street-level tenant space. These fields, like those produced from wiring errors on the upper floors, could not be mitigated by shielding measures.
The computer model further suggested the following as the most efficient solution to this new problem: Modify the existing grounding connections so they encourage the currents to flow on a single path and maximize their capacity to self-cancel the currents normally in the vault and switchgear room.
These changes could not impact any safety requirements nor could they violate any ConEd transformer vault construction policies. Accordingly, all parties assessed the technical options before agreeing on a scheme that satisfied each participant's goals.
As a result of this agreement, the building engineer installed two additional grounds from the building switchgear to the building steel, and an additional ground to the building's cold water pipe (Fig. 3).
The placement of these additional grounds met ConEd's grounding policies requirements, allowed for the removal of the original ground connections, and further reduced the net currents.
Measurements taken by the Power Quality Group verified that the 40A originally running on the ground system had been reduced to 4A. More important, engineers achieved this reduction without compromising the integrity of the building's electrical system design or the principles of safety and reliability that were of concern to all participants.
Wrapping It Up
At the end of this project, the net-current circuit conditions were minimized, and magnetic fields in the affected street-level tenant area were proportionately reduced. After diminishing the vault net currents, the average field strength decreased to 26.8 milliGauss, and the "spread" of the fields had been substantially reduced.
The reduction of the building's net currents permitted the productive use of magnetic field shielding. After performing a detailed survey of the mechanical and electromagnetic characteristics of the space, FMS personnel developed a two-phase mitigation plan. This plan guaranteed to reduce magnetic field-strength levels in the affected area to a target range of 2 milliGauss to 6 milliGauss.
The first phase involved installing a shield in the tenant space and, if necessary, one inside the vault. In the end, only the first phase was needed. The building's management and the tenant considered the residual field-strength values from the first-phase shielding acceptable. After shielding and net-current reductions, the average field strength measured 6.2 milliGauss (Fig. 4).
Resolution of these complex problems required close coordination and a successful technical negotiation between FMS, the building's management and engineering staffs, and ConEd's Power Quality Group and Engineering department.
It also vividly illustrates the relationship between power quality issues and unusual EMF levels, and demonstrates how a major power utility explored and implemented a new way to serve the customer.

How to Knit Fingerless Mitts
A great way to practice knitting in the round is to make a pair of fingerless mitts. Knit in a comfortable gauge of 4 stitches per inch, these will work up in no time at all. Make a pair to match the simple ear warmer, and you're fashionably set for cool-weather outings. If you would like to make both projects in the same yarn, you will need about 125 yards of worsted-weight yarn.
Size: Finished dimensions: 6 inches in circumference (unstretched) × 7-1⁄4 inches long, to fit most adult hands
Materials: 80 yards of worsted-weight yarn: Peace Fleece Worsted (70% wool/30% mohair, 200 yd./4 oz. skein), 1 skein in color Glasnost Gold
Needles: You can use any of the following needles in size US 8 (5mm), or size to obtain gauge:
One set of 4 or 5 double-pointed needles
One 32- to 40-inch circular needle
Two 16-inch circular needles
Stitch markers
Seaming needle
Gauge: 4 stitches per inch in stockinette, worked in the round
You can work these mitts on double-pointed needles, with the magic loop method, or with two circulars. Because of their small circumference, they are not suitable for the traditional method of knitting with one circular
A worsted-weight yarn that is both warm and soft would be a good choice for this project. Choose a fiber that has good elasticity because you want your mitts to stay on your hands comfortably and not stretch out and sag.
Cast on 28 stitches and arrange your work on the needles according to the directions for your chosen knitting method. Join your work to knit in the round, being careful not to twist your cast on around the needles. Place a stitch marker to indicate the end of the round.
*Knit 3, purl 1. Repeat from * to the end of the round.
Repeat Step 2 until your work measures about 5 inches from the cast-on edge.
At the beginning of the next round, create a hole for your thumb by binding off the next 4 stitches. Then work in knit 3, purl 1 rib to the end of the round.
5Using the backward-loop cast-on, create 4 new stitches at the beginning of the round. Then work in knit 3, purl 1 rib to the end of the round.
On the next round, work all stitches in the knit 3, purl 1 rib pattern. Work the first 4 stitches fairly tightly to prevent a gap from forming on either side of the new thumb hole.
Continue working in pattern as established until your work measures 2-1⁄4 inches from the edge of the thumb hole.
Bind off loosely in pattern. Weave in yarn ends.
Repeat steps 1–8 to make a second mitt to match.
Wash and block the mitts, if desired.
Once your project is complete, you may wish to embellish the surface with embroidery in contrasting colors of yarn. You can knit this pattern in various types of ribbing, or you might want to experiment with stitch patterns such as cables or knit-and-purl combinations.

Melissa- Sorry to hear you are feeling so sick. I am actually starting to feel a bit better. Definitely less queasy than I have been. I haven't thrown up since Thur. I still have not been eating much and I haven't gained any weight. Of course instead of feeling happy about it, I am nervous. I can't help but worry about the baby's heart stopping like last time. Are you going to see a high risk ob? or will you be seeing both an ob and a high risk doctor? I did that with my last pg and I hated it. I didn't like being shuffled around from the ob to the perinatologist. So this time I am with just a high risk ob. He does it all!
Nicole sorry about all the crap going on. I hope you get some answers soon.
Jade- I definitely was not upset when they said I had to come back for another u/s. lol
Marina- How are you hanging in there? When is you next appt? Oh yeah I posted my first belly shot on the spaces page (not sure what they did with that it seemed to have changed just like our site. Not sure I like th new format but oh well)

Pentagon data shows that 52 percent of military suicides were committed by active-duty servicemembers who had never been in combat, officials said.
The data was collected from 2008 through 2011, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday. In 2012, there were more suicides among soldiers who had been deployed for combat than those who had not.
About 20 percent of military suicide victims in 2011 had been diagnosed with a mood disorder such as depression, the Pentagon said, and about half had suffered a failed marriage, often within months of their deaths.
Experts say the higher number of suicides among servicemembers who were never deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq may suggest that mental health issues and life circumstances may play a larger role in military suicide than the stresses of combat.
"A lot of the risk for suicide in the military is the stuff they bring with them," said Dr. Murray Stein, a psychiatrist at UC San Diego who studies suicide in the Army.
Craig Bryan, research director at the University of Utah's National Center for Veterans studies, said the military is more stressful and demanding now than it has been in the past, even for those not sent to war.
"If these servicemembers are coming in with pre-existing vulnerabilities, it's more likely these vulnerabilities will be activated," Bryan said.

Installation issues / Mame Installation Issue« on: October 24, 2009, 05:56:09 pm »
Ok I was successfully able to install 810 using the scripts from the wiki page (http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/LinuxMCE-0810_alpha2). Everything was working great and I was having no problems. I went to the LinuxMCE Admin page and from there I selected the Mame check box and it began installing the mame package. About 30 minutes into the install the power went out and my machine restarted. It seemed to boot up fine and then I got to a screen that says Installing LinuxMCE-mame-metadata. There was a ton of activity on my router and I figured it was downloading the packages, but 36 hours later it is still sitting on the same screen, no activity on my router anymore. Is there anyway for me to manually kill the install from the terminal? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Conditions couldn't have been much more perfect for the 117th annual running of the YMCA Buffalo Niagara Turkey Trot on Thursday morning. The relatively balmy weather by November standards was certainly to the liking of Jed Christiansen and Jackie Rzepecki.
Those two runners were the winners of the event, an 8-kilometer run (4.97 miles) that goes from North Buffalo to downtown. The names of the victors were very familiar ones.
Christiansen is part of an almost legendary running family. The father, Dr. Joshua Christiansen, used to bring his family up from Pennsylvania for the Turkey Trot each year, and the entire group usually did well. They moved to New Hampshire a few years ago, but Jed has returned to Greenville, Pa. Jed's time on Thursday was 24 minutes, 1 second.
By the way, his sister Jacy, who won the race as an 11-year-old in 2004, finished fifth in the women's race this year.
Jacy trailed Rzepecki, one of the top runners in Turkey Trot history. Rzepecki won for the fifth time (2001, 2005, 2006 and 2010), finishing in 28:17. Rzepecki went to Frontier High School but now lives in Rochester, Mich.
In the men's race, Scott Anderson of West Falls finished second in 24:46, while Chris Walters of Buffalo was third in 24:56.
On the women's side, Elizabeth Paddock of Madison, Wis., was second in 29:03 - 46 seconds behind Rzepecki. Sarah Krolick of Arcade was third in 29:29.
The race was the last in the News' Runner of the Year series. Walters captured the men's division, while Jennifer Koeppel-Acker took first place in the women's competition.

How can one make an E-Type better than Jaguar themselves? By doing the Colin Chapman thing and adding lightness. Because racecar.
Jaguar only built twelve Lightweight E-Types back in the sixties. You can imagine the price of one today, so those don't race much anymore. Jason Len's 1964 car does however.
What started out as a standard coupe evolved into a full on lightweight wonder with a custom suspension, big brakes and as much modification as the vintage racing rules allow. It's a beautiful machine, done the way things should be.
After all, Lucas electronics shouldn't stop anyone...

Let $X,Y$ be schemes, not necessary separated. Let $f:X\to Y$ be a morphism of schemes and $f(x)=y~,x\in X,~y\in Y$. Then we have the scheme theoretic fiber over $y$, i.e. $f^{-1}(y)=X\times_{Y} \text{Spec } \mathbb k(y)$ where $\mathbb k(y)$ is the residue field at $y$. I was told that $\mathcal O_{x,f^{-1}(y)}=\mathcal O_{x,X}\otimes_{\mathcal O_{y,Y}}\mathbb k(y)$. I can show this fact by writing down the rings involved explicitly and the proof only works for this special fiber product. I am now asking if there is a generalization, as follows.
Let $X,Y,Z$ be schemes, $f:X\to Z,~g:Y\to Z$ be morphisms of schemes, suppose that $w\in W=X\times_Z Y$ such that $w$ is sent to $x$, $y$ and $z$ in $X$, $Y$ and $Z$ respetively. Are $\mathcal O_{x,X}\otimes_{\mathcal O_{z,Z}} \mathcal O_{y,Y}$ and $\mathcal O_{w,W}$ naturally isomorphic? Note that there might be more than one $w$ over the pair of points $(x,y)$, they much have the same local rings if my guess is true.
I tried to prove this via commutative algebra. The question is local. Let $X,Y,Z$ be $\text{Spec } A,\text{Spec } B,\text{Spec } C$, respectively. Let $x,y,z,w$ correspond to prime ideals $P_1,P_2,Q,I$, respectively. Then I have to prove that $(A\otimes_C B)_I=A_{P_1}\otimes _{C_Q} B_{P_2}$. I want to check the universal property of tensor products. Given $\alpha:A_{P_1}\to E,\beta:B_{P_2}\to E$ such than they coincide when restricted to $C_{Q}$, we have a unique homomorphism $\gamma: A\otimes_C B\to E$. The only thing remaining to be checked is that $\gamma$ maps the complement of $I$ to units. And I am stuck here.
If my guess is true, would you help me finish my proof? Of course I will appreciate more if you give a better proof. If my guess is false, then what is the right conditions making it ture?

The advent of electromechanical controls in the 1970s, analog controls in the 1980s, direct digital control (DDC) in the 1990s, and complete building control integration in the 2000s has progressively offered building owners and facility managers powerful new options for reducing energy costs and improving occupant comfort. However, as these multiple generations of pneumatic, electromechanical, digital, and integrated controls are layered on top of each other, communications problems become much more difficult to identify and troubleshoot.
Many HVAC service and control technicians are familiar with troubleshooting direct digital control (DDC) input and output (I/O) 4mA to 20mA and 0VDC to 10VDC or 1V to 5V analog signals. But as new systems become integrated over digital networks, many other problems arise between field controllers, between DDCs, from field controllers to DDCs, and from sensors to DDCs.
The reality is that many service technicians must now improve and broaden their skills to cover network and signal troubleshooting. This article outlines communications problems that crop up in today's multilayered building control systems and provides a high-level guide to identifying their source. By moving beyond electrical/mechanical solutions to consider communications, an in-house maintenance staff as well as third-party specialty contractors can greatly improve their troubleshooting efforts.
Common problems
Following is a short list of typical problems that pop up in building control systems.
At the lowest level, a sensor or actuator may fail due to aging, stress, or inadvertent physical damage. Some setups fail as a result of communication cabling or downstream devices. These failures are typically signaled by a flashing LED.
Yellow or red alarms frequently flash on workstations in the management control room, indicating that a field controller is not receiving an acceptable value from a sensor.
Individual DDCs may generate alarms, if a certain panel or building is not communicating.
Similarly, the management level workstation may generate error messages if it becomes disconnected from one or many buildings.
In other cases, problems may be randomly called in by occupants — such as a room is too hot or too cold.
With all of these different alarm indicators and potential problems arising, where do you start in your attempt to rectify the situation?
Problem sources
These problems may stem from a wide range of sources. Starting at the lowest level, there may be a failure in the equipment, sensor, or actuator. There could be a problem with the cabling running from the sensor to the field controller. Something may have gone wrong in the control loop. For example, the process feedback may be going to the wrong panel, because it was never wired properly and commissioned on startup — or the field controller panel or DDC controller may have failed.
There could also be problems in the network communications path between the field controller and the Ethernet/IP backbone. Communications problems usually fall into one of three categories: cabling infrastructure, signal transmission, and networking protocols. Communications problems also occur in the Ethernet/IP backbone.
In addition to the three basic network problems just mentioned, backbones are also prone to configuration errors that usually fall into the information technology (IT) domain. Finally, the management level controller may experience configuration or other problems.
Narrowing it down
Modern building control systems are often so complex the first challenge a troubleshooter faces is determining specifically where the problem is located. If applicable, a good starting point is to log into the central management controller to get a bird's-eye view of the problem. Here are some examples of where to start your search for a culprit.
Controller checks — The controller might show you that communications are cut off from a section of the building, the whole building, or the complete campus. If it's isolated to a section of the building, the most likely source is the field controller panel, analog circuitry, sensor, or actuator. If the entire building is dark, then the network communications between the management level controller and the DDC, network routers, or switches should be the first suspects on your investigation list. On the other hand, if you can't see the entire campus, you should immediately suspect a problem on the Ethernet or IP backbone.
Ethernet checks — If it looks like a building-level or campus-level communications problem, take a look at the Ethernet network. A good first step is to verify operation by checking the network connectivity icons or Ethernet port link status LEDs. Next, use a network troubleshooting tool to quickly give you a broad overview of critical network performance parameters, including protocol alarms and errors, visibility of all switches and VLANs, routers, access points, and IP devices. The alarms, errors, and protocol information can help localize the problem down to a subnet, port, controller, or particular device.
Cabling checks — Once the problem is isolated, use a cable analyzer to check the cabling connecting the problematic devices. These tools will find common problems such as opens or shorts and will verify the cable's electrical performance. If the network is built on standard AWG cabling instead of twisted-pair cabling (UTP), then use a precision low-ohms digital multimeter to check for basic cable opens, shorts, and impedance problems.
Signal checks — If the cabling checks out OK, then take a look at the quality of the communication signals traveling on the network by using an oscilloscope to capture the waveforms. The scope will help you determine whether signals are getting through at all, and (if they are) whether they are attenuated or too distorted to be read clearly, in which case, something is disturbing the line (Figure on page 12).
Analog checks — If the problem is occurring in only one segment of the building, it's far more likely to have an analog component, because that's the most local part of the building control architecture.
Sensors communicate by converting their output signal to a 4mA to 20mA DC current, with 4mA representing the sensor's zero-level output and 20mA representing the sensor's full scale output. Other systems use 1VDC to 5VDC or 0VDC to 10VDC circuits in a similar fashion. Occasionally, the 4mA to 20mA signal is converted to a 2VDC to 10VDC signal by adding a 500-ohm resistor across the load.
The fastest troubleshooting route for these systems is to use a milliamp clamp meter to measure the current or voltage between the sensor/actuator and the field controller and a voltage-/current-sourcing tool to simulate control signals back into the controller. However, you'll need to know what the circuit should read, based on the desired control operations.
If the problem lies within the circuit, use a milliamp or voltage sourcing tool to further test the line. If the problem traces back to the sensor, use humidity, temperature, pressure, or other measurement devices to verify the accuracy of the sensor reading. Other possible problems include bad I/O cards, isolators, power supplies, and transmitters.
Intermittent problems
Issues that crop up sporadically are usually the most difficult to troubleshoot, because service technicians don't have the luxury to just stand around hoping to catch the error when it randomly occurs. The best way to identify these problems is to use a logging multimeter or oscilloscope. Simply connect the equipment to the circuit in question, and leave it there to monitor the situation. Once the problem surfaces, the logger will catch it and lead you to the faulty component. This approach can save you many hours of nonproductive work and reduce your frustration level.
Problems like these are sometimes caused by degradation of equipment, controls, or cabling due to vibration or environmental changes. Another possible cause is installation errors, most commonly made during tenant improvements. Such errors include running unshielded network cabling near a high-voltage power source or an inductive load, using incorrect cable type, or installing an excessively long cable run.
Power problems
Power issues can also cause devices to intermittently trip or fail altogether. If there has been a building or system upgrade recently, the old power supply may be overloaded or unbalanced. There's also a possibility that the new controls may either require cleaner power than the old electrical distribution system can deliver, or new electronic equipment may be introducing harmonic disturbances into the power supply.
In some cases, retrofits will take some time to cause failures, making the cause less obvious. If you suspect power supply problems, use a power quality analyzer to measure and log voltage, current, dips, swells, interruptions, harmonics, inter-harmonics, flicker, power, energy, transients, frequency, unbalance, and inrush.

Sidebar: Building Controls Basics
Let's quickly review the four-level architecture found in most modern building control systems (click here to see Figure). Starting from the bottom, at the sensor/actuator level, present control systems commonly use fully electronic, 2-way, 3-way, and pressure independently characterized control valves (PICCVs). Variable-frequency drives (VFDs) are used as standard equipment on cooling towers, variable air volume (VAV) fans, pumps and chillers. Typical sensors include humidity and temperature transmitters, CO2 sensors for indoor air quality, power meters, branch circuit monitors, and energy meters.
Field level controllers talk to sensors and actuators, often using 4mA to 20mA or 0VDC to 10VDC analog signals. Field level controllers are typically connected together using a BACnet master/remote over local area networks (LAN) or a proprietary network. The BACnet MS/TP LAN may be linked through a BACtalk Integrator (BTI) to a BACnet/IP or BACnet/Ethernet wide area network (WAN) that links multiple DDCs to the management level controller.

August 24, 2008-Neilson Hays Library-Bangkok
wingssail images-fredrick roswold
Neilson Hays Library
From their web site, "The Neilson Hays Library was founded in 1869 by the Ladies' Bazaar Association, which formed the Bangkok Ladies' Library Association to serve the reading needs of the large English-speaking community in Bangkok. The building and property now occupied by the Library were part of an endowment received from Dr. Hayward Hays in 1922 in memory of his wife Jennie Neilson Hays who had served on the committee of the Library for at least 25 years. It is the oldest non-profit association in the Kingdom of Thailand."

The GOP's diversity debacle
After an election in which Mitt Romney lost the black, Asian and Latino vote by landslide margins, the news just got worse for the Republican Party.
With Florida GOP Rep. Allen West's concession Tuesday, the face of the GOP got a little whiter, ending an election season in which the already undersized contingent of black, Hispanic and Asian Republicans in Congress grew even smaller.
Story Continued Below
For a party that's struggling to present a public face that looks more like America, the 2012 election represents something close to a worst-case scenario.
( Also on POLITICO: Republicans run from Romney)
The number of African-American Republicans in Congress, which stood to double thanks to several highly competitive candidates, was instead cut in half, to a single member. The last Asian-American Republican retired and wasn't replaced. In a year when a record number of Hispanics were elected to Congress, House Republicans ended up losing two of their already small contingent. Puerto Rico GOP Gov. Luis Fortuño, a rising star who campaigned for Mitt Romney in Florida, was another 2012 casualty.
In the Senate, there was a GOP ray of hope with the election of Ted Cruz, a Cuban-American from Texas. But in a chamber that will have a record number of women next year thanks to the election of four new Democratic women and the reelection of six female Senate incumbents, the number of female Republicans actually declined by one.
The final tally: Democrats have 16 female senators, Republicans only four.
( Also on POLITICO: Jindal: 'We … don't need to be saying stupid things')
All in all, Nov. 6 was a grim day for a party that already had a glaring diversity problem.
"Let's face it, the Republican Party has to do a better job of fielding and electing candidates that look and talk like the America of the second decade of the 21st century," said Michigan-based GOP consultant Dennis Lennox.
Unlike in past years, the problem wasn't exactly a lack of serious prospects. The GOP had a handful of celebrated and well-financed black and Latino challengers — among them, House candidates Abel Maldonado of California, Vernon Parker of Arizona, and the best-known of them all, Mia Love of Utah — but all of them fell short in the end.
Maldonado and Love failed to oust Democratic incumbents; Parker lost a race for an open seat in Arizona.
They weren't the only setbacks in the House: West and Hispanic Reps. Francisco Canseco of Texas and David Rivera of Florida all were defeated in their bids for a second term. While West lost for reasons related to a mismatch of style and district, Canseco and Rivera lost in seats with high percentages of Hispanic voters.

text: Based on the true story of Graham Young, a young British psychopath of the early 1960s, this is the offbeat feature film debut of writer-director Benjamin Ross. Hugh O'Conor plays Young, who narrates the story in a sullen voice-over. He is an isolated, studious young adolescent who is increasingly absorbed in his chemical research projects and estranged from his annoying family. After his greatest experiment blows up, he seeks revenge on his stepmother, who has falsely accused him of hiding pornographic magazines. The boy poisons her chocolates and then his sister's eye drops, partially blinding her. He next poisons his stepmother's stomach medicine. Graham lets her discover the notebook in which he has documented his work, but she can no longer speak, and she dies unable to communicate the truth. Young then starts to poison his father -- but lets himself be discovered and is sent to an insane asylum. There, he is befriended by a psychologist, Dr. Ziegler (Anthony Sher), an optimist who hopes for a recovery by exploring Young's dreams. Michael Betzold, Rovi

My friend Jamie* wants you to know she doesn't hate children. That's not why, at age 24, she decided to get sterilized. She's "just always known" she didn't want to have kids herself; she says, "I think it's just something you can know." She's also aware that not everyone understands why a woman her age would want this procedure, so when a Jezebel reader requested a post on sterilization for younger women, she was happy to talk to me about her experience. Turns out "getting fixed," as she calls it, was actually the easy part.Jamie didn't want surgery, but when she heard about the less invasive Essure, a metal coil that creates scar tissue in the fallopian tubes, she was intrigued. She did a lot of research, especially on post-sterilization regret, which for young women seems to be greatest if you've already had children. Then she met with a doctor who she feared would turn her away because of her age. He did ask her a lot of questions (including the rather offensive, "What if you met a billionaire who wanted to have kids with you?"), but he eventually approved her for the procedure. I drove her to the appointment and waited at the clinic while she had the device inserted. I won't say it wasn't a weird experience — the clinic also did cosmetic surgery, so it was kind of a palace, and I sat there reading Vogue while my friend got screws shoved up her reproductive organs. For her part, she says it didn't hurt at all. They did have to dilate her cervix and pump her uterus full of water, so she came out a little nauseous and tired, but in good spirits. The real fallout came when she told her parents. Her mom cried, and asked why she couldn't "just let her life unfold" the way other people did. Up to that point I'd been totally on board with Jamie's decision, but her mom's tears gave me a twinge of doubt. I wondered if I'd helped her carry out a choice she'd later regret. But Jamie tells me she doesn't even think of it as a choice. When a gay friend of hers found out about her parents' reaction, he told her it sounded a lot like coming out. She was revealing "an important fact about who she was, that couldn't be changed, and her parents didn't want to accept it." She believes the desire not to have children can be something innate, as basic as the urge to procreate. On the question of kids, she says, "sometimes the answer is just no." Her parents aren't the only ones who disapprove. Even the nurse at the clinic assumed Jamie was "done having kids," and was taken aback when Jamie explained that zero was enough for her. Jamie says most people see not wanting kids as a function of youth, not a deeply held conviction. When I asked how she felt about explaining her sterilization to people, she told me this: "Does it need to be defended? No. But people will feel entitled to an explanation, and you can get mad about that, or you can think of something to say." Which seems pretty good way to think about any big decision in your life, especially if it sets you apart from what people think of as normal. *Not her real name.
Having Kids: Sometimes The Answer Is Just "No"

A Twitter war broke out between Michael and Lindsay Lohan on Thursday after Michael, along with sheriff's deputies, went into Lindsay's home to see if her sister Ali Lohan, who is a minor, was OK. It's a story of heartbreak and desperation and Michael told it to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush.
"OK, so you walk in there. What does it look like?" Billy asked.
"Disheveled… Totally disheveled," Michael said.
"Is it a wasteland apartment or is it OK?" Billy asked. "Is there furniture?"
"When I finally got to the bedroom and I looked in, Lindsay's on a mattress. There's no furniture in the bedroom. It's a mattress on the floor with just sheets," Michael said.
"What did she look like?" Billy asked of Lindsay's appearance.
"Like she got hit by a train," Michael said. "Her makeup was smeared all over. Her eyes were bloodshot and I said, 'Lindsay, I want to make sure Ali's OK. She's got to come out here and speak to the sheriff and let him see that she's OK.'"
By his own account, Michael arrived at Lindsay's apartment at 11 o'clock in the morning.
"Did she look messed up? Did she look like she'd been out all night?" Billy asked.
"Absolutely and she has. It's been reported all over the place and Dina [Lohan, Lindsay and Ali's mom] can say that Lindsay doesn't drink, doesn't have a problem. 'She's not out late.' Come on! We have proof."
Lindsay did stay home last night, after being spotted out partying 30 out of the last 37 nights, including last weekend at Coachella, the desert music festival she attended with 16-year-old Al; a trip that Michael told Billy prompted his visit to Lindsay's home on Thursday morning to check on the welfare of his minor daughter with the assistance of officers from the sheriffs' department.
"Did you see paraphernalia in the house? When you walked in, did you see [a] bottle of any kind?" Billy asked of Michael's recollections of Lindsay's home.
"We went in there to check on Ali, not to check for drugs," Michael said. "Did I see things floating around that could have been presumed as substances or pills? Yeah."
When asked about Michael's claims that materials in Lindsay's apartment could have been presumed to be substances or pills, Lindsay's attorney Shawn Chapman Holley provided the following statement to Access.
"We contend that Michael's conduct yesterday and in most instances concerning Lindsay is a publicity stunt," the attorney said.
She also told Access on Friday that both Lindsay and Ali are terrified of their father and they would like a restraining order filed immediately.
Michael was photographed and videoed by agencies including X-17 and INF as he went to Lindsay's home on Thursday, something Billy asked about.
"Did you call X-17?" Billy asked.
"No," he said.
"How were cameras were with you when you went to the police station?" Billy asked.
"I have no idea where they came from," Michael said. "The police were with me the whole time. No one knew where they showed up from, nobody."
Michael said the paparazzi followed him on his mission to confront Lindsay, who he continues to claim is addicted to prescription drugs — amongst other issues.
"Is Lindsay drinking?" Billy asked.
"Absolutely. I mean every night she's drinking," Michael said.
"Who goes out, well she goes out until 4 o'clock in the morning," Billy said. "Most people would conventionally agree that nothing good happens at 1… 2… 3 and certainly at 4 o'clock in the morning."
"After the clubs close, why do they have to go up into the hills to parties?" Michael asked.
Michael claims his main obstacle in helping Lindsay get into rehab is his ex-wife, Dina, who he says is in denial about Lindsay's problems.
"I have listened to voice mails that you have played me. I know Dina Lohan's voice. I have heard her on your voice mail say, 'She's got a problem. She's drinking again, Michael. We've got to work this out, Michael,'" Billy said. "So unless she's gone to rehab and fixed that problem since then, which it doesn't look like she has, we would all know about it."
"It's gotten worse," Michael responded.

Peugeot Modif: A Car That Can Squeeze For Tight Space Praking
Automobile industry has seen various changes in past few years. Trend for compact hybrid cars is at its peak now a days. Several new designs are shaped every day and there is lot more to come.
Peugeot Modif is a fabulous design for a hybrid car that will be very successful in small towns and tight places. It has a two tone color scheme and the center of this is the large rubber tube-like center shaft that allows the car to squeeze up to 88 centimeters and also provides the front of the car with flexibility to swivel from side to side 18.5 degrees for better drive.
I liked the design as it is different from traditional designs, it features white tires and large black chrome wheels with each tire having six special pads holding sensors to intimate the driver for adjustment of car according to road conditions. Inside each massive wheel is a powerful hydrogen hybrid engine. 80% of the material used to make is renewable, the a rubber element in the front part houses the oil, water and CPU.
The cockpit of the car is covered by a large bubble top one-piece window that provides the passenger and the driver with an unobstructed view up to 360 degrees. Rare view cameras on both sides constantly provide with the status of the road behind on a screen embedded on the dashboard. It also features a high-discharge red led emergency light on the top for you to cherish a V.I.P. feeling. The exhaust pipe is positioned in the center that only emits water.
Cool factor: it can squeeze up to 88 centimeters

fRNAdb sequence ontologies for GC19M012713 Gene
C_D_box_snoRNA: Most box C/D snoRNAs also contain long (>10 nt) sequences complementary to rRNA. Boxes C and D, as well as boxes C' and D', are usually located in close proximity, and form a structure known as the box C/D motif. This motif is important for snoRNA stability, processing, nucleolar targeting and function. A small number of box C/D snoRNAs are involved in rRNA processing; most, however, are known or predicted to serve as guide RNAs in ribose methylation of rRNA. Targeting involves direct base pairing of the snoRNA at the rRNA site to be modified and selection of a rRNA nucleotide a fixed distance from box D or D'.

WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) — Celtics coach Doc Rivers wishes Jason Collins had gotten more rebounds. Jeff Green liked the screens his former teammate set. Jason Terry would love to have Collins' toughness in the playoffs.
And they're all happy for Collins after he came out as gay.
None of the Celtics expressed concern Tuesday about having been on the same team as a gay player. They did care about what he did to help Boston win games and about how he might help other gay athletes.
"There are so many professional athletes, there are so many human beings that live a dark life, that are scared to expose it because of the exposure of sports and what people may think about them," Paul Pierce said. "I think what he did was a great thing just to open the door for a number of athletes who probably now are going to have the courage to come out."
Rivers said Collins told him he was gay "a couple of days" before his announcement Monday on Sports Illustrated's website.
"I don't know if (I was) surprised, or really didn't care one way or the other," Rivers said. "It's a nonfactor to me. And I know it is a factor to a lot of people. I just have never understood why anyone cares about what someone else does.
"He told me he was coming out and I told him, 'great, you know, good. Let's move forward.' And I jokingly said, 'I wish you could have gotten me more rebounds,' because that's all I care about."
The 7-foot Collins played 32 games for the Celtics in his only season with them. He averaged 1.2 points and 1.6 rebounds in 10.3 minutes per game. They traded him on Feb. 21 to Washington, his sixth team in 12 seasons. He played just six games with the Wizards with four points and eight rebounds.
Now he's a free agent. Some Celtics said they'd like to have him back next season.
"Most definitely," Green said before practice for Wednesday night's fifth game against the New York Knicks. "He was an awesome teammate. He played the game hard. He set good screens to get me open. That's all you can ask for."
The Knicks lead the first-round series 3-1 and can wrap it up at home. The Celtics avoided a sweep with a 97-90 overtime win on Sunday in which Terry scored their last nine points. But they're still at a big disadvantage.
Would Terry like Collins back?
"Definitely needed his toughness," he said. "Would love to have it in this series. He's one of the toughest guys in the NBA."
Several Celtics praised Collins as intelligent, very professional and a good teammate who was a positive influence in the locker room despite his minor role. They were happy for him that he made his announcement.
"He's had a huge, tremendous weight lifted off of him and that's all you can ask for any man or woman is to be at peace with themselves," Terry said. "Then you can go find that ultimate happiness.
"I know how dedicated he is to his craft and he was a great teammate, regardless of his sexual preference. It didn't matter to me."
Kevin Garnett was "just happy for him obviously being able to be himself. … Personal preference is just that. We're here to support everything he's doing."
Green called Collins "a good friend" and said "I'm truly, truly happy for him."
And, he said, he never considered the possibility of having a gay teammate.
"It never crossed my mind, but I'm not against it," he said. "We all are here for the same reason and that's to win, no matter if you're gay, if you're straight. It doesn't matter to me."
But Rivers knows not everyone will have a favorable reaction to Collins' announcement if he plays next season.
"There may be some guy in the crowd that may want to voice his opinion," he said, "but they voice their opinions pretty well when we're on the road anyway. It's just white noise at the end of the day, and I'm sure when Jackie Robinson went on the road, some of the things he heard, and they all went away, eventually, and this will go away as well."
Rivers said Collins' announcement will "spur debate and opinions" even if it doesn't spur other gay athletes to come out.
"Everybody should have a right to an opinion," he said. "We have to have tolerance with everyone."

Area Code 0475 / +374475
|Area Code:
|0475 (+374475)
|City/Town or Region:
Area Code 0475 / +374475 (Armenia)
The prefix 0475 is the area code for Hadrut. And Hadrut is located in Armenia. If you are outside United States of America and you want to call a person in Hadrut, in addition to the area code, you need the country code for the country you wish to call. The country code for United States of America is +374, so if you are in United States of America and you want to call a person in Hadrut, you have to prefix that person's phone number with +374475.
The zero in front of the area code is omitted in this case.
The plus sign at the beginning of the phone number can usually be used in this format. However, it's more common to replace the plus sign with a sequence of numbers that alerts the telephone network that you want to dial a telephone number in another country. The ITU recommends using 00, which is also used in many countries, including all European countries.
In United States of America, 011 is used instead of 00.
As an alternative to +374475, which you have to place in front of the telephone number of a person in Hadrut in order to call them from United States of America, you can also use 011374475.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. | The police chief for the city of Brunswick has been suspended amid an investigation into an online training program for officers.
The Brunswick News reports (http://bit.ly/1oV411Y ) Chief Tobe (TOE-bee) Green and another officer, Capt. Mike Melton, have been placed on administrative leave. City Manager Billy Weeks said Friday they will remain suspended pending the outcome of an internal investigation requested by the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council.
The council in June asked police agencies across Georgia to look into a glitch in the state's online training system that allowed at least 500 officers statewide to earn training credits without spending the required number of hours.
Weeks would not give further details on the investigation involving the police chief. The newspaper said Green did not return phone calls.

Subscribe To Kevin Spacey Was Almost The Bond 23 Villain Updates
I've already subscribed
Oh what could have been. In a meet and greet preceding a recent screening of The Usual Suspects, the always brilliant Kevin Spacey dished at length on everything from beating Rafael Nadal at ping pong to roles he narrowly missed out on. One of them, however, is of particular interest. Apparently, both Spacey and director Sam Mendes were particularly excited about the Oscar winner playing the villain in the upcoming Bond 23. His last foray into the seedy underworld, Superman Returns, may not have been the greatest superhero movie of all-time, but honestly, that was hardly his fault.
According to Live for Films, it's Richard III that's at fault for Spacey getting cockblocked out of the role. The theater enthusiast is going on tour with the production right as Mendes takes Bond 23 into filming, creating an unavoidable scheduling conflict. When it comes to choosing between Hollywood and the stage, Spacey has repeatedly chosen the latter. Now, as a result, Javier Bardem, is the man we're all waiting for an answer from.
You may remember Mendes and Spacey worked together on American Beauty and that didn't turn out so bad. Hopefully, if the director's work with James Bond goes over well, he'll consider Lester Burnham for a villain role in the future.

Hi .. someone recently posted a picture of a gorgeous quilt that they were doing for fundraising that was intended to be a 'pillow topper', but would be a beautiful wall hanging ... for the life of me, I can't find the message, so I don't remember who it was.
What I DID want to know was this: I like the 'pillow topper' idea and wondered if anyone had any directions or instructions they cld provide (I couldn't find anything on the internet) ... Are they intended to just be thrown over the pillows, or are they fitted, like a sham? What would be dimensions be?
I could try & wing it, but would appreciate any guidance provided.
Thanks !

2 out at DOJ after 'Furious' report
An internal Justice Department investigation into the Operation Fast and Furious scandal released Wednesday singles out 14 federal officials for criticism and possible disciplinary action. But the report found no evidence that the department's top leaders knew about the gun-walking aspect of the operation while it was under way.
The long-awaited, 471-page report from the DOJ's inspector general finds misconduct or poor judgment on the part of officials at DOJ headquarters; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Washington and its field office in Arizona; and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Arizona in connection with the operation that reportedly allowed as many as 2,000 weapons to flow from U.S. gun dealers to Mexican drug cartels.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Poll: Most back Holder contempt)
The report essentially clears Attorney General Eric Holder — who has become a lightning rod for Republican criticism of the operation — of any wrongdoing or errors in judgment.
The investigators found Holder didn't know about the operation or its controversial tactics until after the scandal emerged in the wake of the discovery of two weapons linked to the operation at the scene of the shooting death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in December 2010.
However, GOP lawmakers point out that the report doesn't address whether Holder moved swiftly or strongly enough to discipline those responsible for the operation.
( PHOTOS: 10 politicians threatened with contempt)
Fast and Furious has drawn outrage on Capitol Hill over the use of gun-walking, a practice that has no official definition but involves law enforcement failing to arrest armed suspects or interdict weapons when there was a legal basis to do so. ATF agents involved in Fast and Furious apparently did not step in as suspected traffickers bought the weapons involved.
As the report was being released Wednesday afternoon, Holder announced the departure of two officials criticized in the report: former ATF Director Kenneth Melson and Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division Jason Weinstein.
Melson, who had previously been reassigned by Holder, retired. Weinstein resigned.

Holder said lower-ranking officials at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Arizona and ATF were being referred for discipline.
The attorney general announced no action against the head of the DOJ's Criminal Division, Lanny Breuer, who was criticized in the report and whose firing has been demanded by Republican lawmakers. However, a senior DOJ official said Holder "admonished" Breuer over the episode.
