New work on the Sandia National Laboratories Red Storm supercomputer — the 17th fastest in the world — is helping to make supercomputers more accessible. Sandia researchers, working hand in hand with researchers from Northwestern University and the University of New Mexico, socialized 4,096 of Red Storm's total 12,960 computer nodes into accepting a virtual external operating system — a leap of at least two orders of magnitude over previous such efforts.
"The goal is to create a more flexible environment for all users," said Sandia researcher Kevin Pedretti, who led Sandia researchers in adapting and optimizing a Northwestern program called Palacios, an open source virtual machine monitor framework, for the Red Storm environment. Sandia researchers directed the testing effort.
Peter Dinda, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering, said "If we can virtualize supercomputers without performance compromises, we will make them easier to use and easier to manage, generally increasing the utility of these very large national infrastructure investments." Dinda led the development of Palacios with his student Jack Lange.
Because of the complex nature of the classified work performed on Red Storm, its operating system is functionally restrictive compared with a general-purpose operating system.
Enter virtualization.
A virtual machine in effect separates the hardware of a computer from its operating system. "Our observation is that no single operating system will satisfy the needs of all potential users," said Pedretti, "so we are attempting to leverage the virtualization hardware in modern processors to allow users to select the operating system best for them to use at run-time."
This could permit one machine to simultaneously run multiple operating systems, with the possibility of migrating these systems from one computer to another. To achieve this trick on Red Storm, a receptor operating system called "Kitten" has been developed primarily at Sandia, while the virtual machine monitoring program Palacios was developed at Northwestern. Operating through the filter of this programming translation, a program not native to Red Storm can run on nodes of the machine.
A virtual machine monitor (VMM) works by separating a computer's operating system from its hardware. This indirection exposes a range of benefits. For example, a VMM allows an operating system from one machine to be run on another. (If it needs more memory for example.) It can also allow one machine to simultaneously run multiple operating systems, and it is possible to migrate running operating systems from one computer to another.
In the case of supercomputing, the VMM also acts as a translator between a user's software and the highly specialized hardware and software environments of the system, which could potentially allow more researchers to use supercomputers to solve complex problems.
With more than 38,000 processors, Red Storm is a massively parallel processing supercomputer that was uniquely designed to support modeling and simulation of complex problems in nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship. It is currently the 17th fastest supercomputer in the world, with a theoretical peak performance of 284 trillion floating point operations per second in a relatively compact 3,500 square foot footprint.
The overlaid program was only 5 percent less effective than running Red Storm's native, fixed programming. That overhead represents the additional expense in time and efficiency of running the program in a virtualized environment. "We believe the results show that the benefits of virtualization can be brought to even the largest computers in the world without performance compromises," said Pedretti.
This would mean that researchers around the world should one day be able to run their own simulations on huge machines at remote sites without having to reconfigure their software to the machine's specific hardware and software environment.
The work was funded for Sandia by its Laboratory Directed Research and Development program. Northwestern and UNM work was funded by the National Science Foundation.

Rice Krispie Cake
For the cake
13 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
15 cups miniature marshmallows
20 cups Rice Krispies
For the filling
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
5 1/2 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate
For assembly
assorted extra cereals for decorating
To prepare the cake
In a large saucepan, add butter and salt - melt over medium-low. Add marshmallows - stirring until thoroughly melted. Stir in Rice Krispies until combined. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the cereal mixture and place in a small bowl - cover and set aside.
Evenly divide the mixture between two 9" round baking pans coated with cooking spray. Press mixture down until level. Set aside and let cool until set, about 30 minutes.
To prepare the filling
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-low. Add marshmallows and cook, stirring, until just beginning to melt. Add chocolate and stir until smooth. Remove from the heat.
Remove cereal mixture from the baking pans and set onto parchment paper.
While the frosting is still warm, pour onto the center of one cereal cake and spread evenly, almost to the edges. Let stand for 10 minutes. Place second cake on top and gently press down to set into the filling. Use reserved 1/4 cup cereal mixture to patch the edges if you see any frosting visible.
Decorate cake with assorted cereals - let cake stand until firm, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. If not serving right away, cover well with plastic wrap.

That's a riot! You should definitely make one for your niece with fancy pink filling. :)ReplyDelete
Joe, I think this would make a wonderful alternative to the traditional Birthday cake. I have a seven and a four year old granddaughter who will love this; not to mention their mom. LOL You and Jeff do one heck of a job with this blog. Thanks.ReplyDelete

Perfect! I want to make this for teacher apprecation week. My son's teacher requested "Rice Krispie Cake" and I've never thought of RK as a cake before! How many would you say this recipe serves? There's 25 kids in class so I'm guessing I'll need to make 2....ReplyDelete

Here's a great idea, why couldn't Hasbro have put the AT-TE Gunner's legs on the #41 body? Then everyone on planet Earth would be happy with their clones.
I can almost understand Hasbro's reluctance to do the ultimate figure of anything, since they probably don't want to put a cap on something when they think they have years left in the line.
But then if they'd only done one Clone Grunt mold to begin with, they'd be making far more money off that mold than they would off 4 different Clone Trooper molds rereleased multiple times.
Hasbro must have heard that all the fans aren't planning on buying as many of these as the once thought...I was checking EE this morning to look for new stuff and I noticed that they made a few changes to the case assortments for wave 6. Most notably, the wave 1, revision 0 case no longer will have 3x #65 501st Clone. Instead there will be 1x #18 C-3PO and 2x #65. That seems like a really strange substitution... take out a clone, add a 3PO? Also, the revision 1 case which had 2x #65 and a bunch of repacks was CANCELLED.
Sounds like bad news to me. I sincerely hope that these hit while I'm on the east coast, maybe I'll have a better shot at getting them.

The Giant Vintage Rag Market
at The Cheese and Grain in Frome. Saturday the 30th June 2012. 9am to 3 pm.
This type of event has become increasingly popular over the past few years and now Clare and I would like to bring the concept of a Rag Market to Frome. We are planning to have 40 stalls piled high with vintage textile related goodies, from fragments of 18th century silk waistcoats, Victorian shell buttons, Edwardian lace scraps, pre-war french workwear, 1940's patched pinnies, 1950's satin dresses in need of love and restoration, original 60's patent leather kinky boots to unfinished 1970's Laura Ashley patchwork quilts.
Items can be anything related to textiles, so please bring buttons, linens, trimmings, ribbons, lace, hats, costume, stockings, embroidery, shoes, magazines related to vintage fashion, but NOTHING later than 1980 please.
This is a datelined event giving those who trade, make or collect anything in the world of Textiles and Vintage Costume the opportunity to clear out their workshops, studios, sheds and cupboards.... we would advise that you keep your prices at a sensible level, single priced baskets (for example "everything 50p in this basket" usually works well in my experience).
More expensive items are of course welcomed, but the idea is to have each stall selling a selection of affordable bits and bobs to suit every purse.
For this event we are using a different layout for the stands. We would encourage you to sit behind your stalls at the fair in order to keep the aisles as wide as possible.
A plan of the stalls will be available soon on the Vintage Bazaar blog.
Stalls priced at £35 per table, only single stalls are available to create more variety and to give more sellers a chance to have a stand as this unusual event.
Stalls will be allocated on a first come, first served basis at the discretion of the organisers. Your stall cannot be assumed booked unless we have received your booking form AND post dated cheque. We appreciate that there are over 10 months to this event, but this is the required time to plan and advertise to maximum effect.
Please email Lizzie (firstname.lastname@example.com) for a booking form
Admission will be charged to customers at £1 per adult to cover advertising costs. There will be NO early trade entry to this event.
A changing room is not provided as this Fair. So please take this into consideration when planning what you are bringing.

Kings Canyon Events, Coupons, Reviews!
Huzzah and welcome to Medieval Times!
Prepare to be transported to another time of chivalry and honor inside the castle at Medieval Times.
Your whole family will love spending the evening with princesses and knights. Whether it's for a special event or an evening out, it's the perfect way to lose yourself in the magic of the castle. We watched a little boy being knighted for his 8th birthday and chatted with a falcon trainer.
My kids were talking about this night for weeks. We have been studying Medieval Times as a family, reading through some Magic Treehouse books and the (fabulous) book A Medieval Feast. So my kids were even more excited when stepped through the doors and they got to put on their black and white crowns.
Doors open 75 minutes before show time and your seats are assigned first-come, first-served.
When you enter the castle, you'll get crowns in your knight's color. You'll have the opportunity to take pictures with a knight or a princess.
Then you walk into the lobby, where you can purchase a souvenir, belly up to the bar, or walk around and take in the sights. Don't miss seeing the horses up close – they are truly beautiful.
About 20 minutes before showtime, you will be escorted into the arena by color. Once inside the area, you find your seat and your server arrives to give you some instructions for the evening.
Then you'll enjoy your Medieval feast! But parents might want to note – there was no silverware in the Middle Ages, so there's no silverware here. They also serve Water, Tea, or Pepsi, so plan ahead if you need something else for the littlest Lords and Ladies.
This was a brand new show we had never seen before and it was really wonderful. I don't want to spoil too much, but there was action, intrigue, and excitement – totally captivating!
Our family loved this evening of entertainment and fun and we can't wait to visit Medieval Times Dallas again!
Is your house filled with little Lords and Ladies of the royal court? Do they like to eat with their hands at the dinner table? Medieval Times is the perfect place to take your family back to the Middle Ages for an incredible night of epic battles and delicious food.
For the first time in Medieval Times' 35-year history, a Queen has taken the throne. Her Majesty Dona Maria Isabella presides over a tournament of knights who gather in celebration to test their skill against one another in a series of games, jousting, and combat.
The new story brings a series of changes to the show including new costumes, custom-designed and handmade armor, fight scenes, and musical score composed by Dr. Daniel May, who directed and recorded the composition in Kiev with the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine. Be among the first to experience the debut of our new show.

Celebrity Quotes on Abortion
Celebrities on Both Sides Get Real About Abortion
Today marks the 41st anniversary of the Roe v. Wade ruling to legalize abortion, a historic shift in reproductive rights. Even though it's been more than four decades since the ruling, it continues to be an emotional subject that politicians and celebrities often discuss. In 2012, abortion became a heated topic in political debates, and the issue made headlines last Summer with the controversial Texas abortion bill. Over the years, celebrities — both men and women — have discussed their personal views and experiences with abortion, and their comments support the reality that despite anyone's pro-choice or pro-life stance, the decision to have or not have an abortion is an incredibly difficult one.

Dustin Pedroia claims he was only joking when he referred to his hometown as a "dump" in a cover story for Boston magazine:
Everyone wants to get out of there. You don't want to stay in Woodland. What do you want to stay in Woodland for? The place sucks.His family has been harassed since the article appeared. One man has been arrested for making death threats.
I'm totally crushed by this, devastated, because I didn't mean it that way at all. The writer doesn't know my personality. I kid around a lot, and that's what I was doing when I was talking about Woodland. ...
My family and best friends still live there. I love going home. This article made me seem like a jerk, and I'm not. ... I regret that this happened. I learned that I need to be more careful.

O'Connor advances to first state baseball semifinal
O'Connor junior Jose Rodriguez watched his coach tell him he was coming in to pitch in the most dramatic situation possible — a one-run lead, the bases loaded, and his team needing one more out to go to the state tournament.
Everything after that, he says, was a blur.
"I think my heart stopped," Rodriguez said.
When he stops shaking, Rodriguez will enjoy the pop out he forced to clinch O'Connor's 3-2 victory over Eagle Pass in a one-game Class 5A regional final playoff Friday. It gave the Panthers their first trip to Round Rock for the state semifinals.
Justin Garcia threw the first 6 2/3 innings, allowing just three hits in front of a standing-room crowd of 2,802 at the 2,500-capacity Blossom Athletic Center.
But in the seventh, he gave up a RBI single to Eagle Pass pinch hitter Gilbert Villalobos. When he walked his third batter of the inning and the bases were loaded with one out left, coach David Collenback brought in Rodriguez to face Diego Gaona, who hit a solo home run off Garcia in the sixth.
Garcia moved to third base and was there to make the final out when Gaona hit a high pop fly.
"That ball was up there way too long," Garcia said. "When I caught it, everything we'd done all season was for that moment. I owe (Rodriguez) dinner for a while."
Garcia (12-1) said he found out he'd be starting just before the game, with ace Mark Ecker still out with an elbow injury. Garcia has earned the victory in six of the Panthers' seven playoff wins.
Ecker was able to bat, and was 3 for 4 with a run. He had a RBI single in O'Connor's three-run third inning, with Zachary Davenport and Andrew Fields also scoring.
Eagle Pass (24-12-1) still rallied and made for a dramatic finish.
O'Connor (31-6-2) wouldn't have it any other way. All three of O'Connor's one-game playoffs — against South San, Laredo United and Eagle Pass — were one-run victories. In its two best-of-3 series, against Reagan and Corpus Christi King, they lost the first game and had to win both ends of doubleheaders to stay alive.
The Panthers are the first area team to reach the state tournament since Medina Valley in Class 3A in 2008 and the first 5A team since Smithson Valley in 2005.
"I'm speechless," Ecker said. "Nothing can explain the feeling of making it here with this team."

A Few Things About Bead Making Supplies
Many folks are discovering that beading is an enjoyable and rewarding craft. Are you among them? If so where do you search for your supplies? Buying from the local bead store is what most folks default to. Even though this can be rewarding, there is a better way. Buying beads online have some advantages over the bead shop. There are a couple of steps that you'll need to follow to ensure that you have a successful experience when it comes to buying beads online. One of the greatest benefits of purchasing beads online is the period of time that you will save. Oh, and do not forget about saving on fuel cost. You won't have to go to bead shop trying to find a sort of bead that you want. Because when it comes to buying beads online, you have such a big choice of beads.
The world is your bead shop. One is probably trying to sift through all of the bead websites and deciding where you wish to place your order. You can locate and design or variant of bead that you could ever want, all from the comfort of your home or office, etc.. You can buy seed beads or even a rare Czech glass bead online. One idea is to check that you would like, just to get the names of the beadyou may find them online. That way you know the bead you're searching for, and it helps you as not to lead to any confusion. You will be undoubtedly saved money by buying beads online. As stated earlier, you will spend less on fuel for one thing, when you purchase your beads, and you'll save money. See, the majority of the time when you are currently buying beads online, you're dealing with the wholesalers, not the retailers. If you are looking to learn more about beads wholesale online, click on the mentioned above website.
The most wholesaler will give you a bulk rate price, far cheaper than the bead shop. If you're not aware of this, just remember that like most things cheaper isn't always better. You're interested in as you can't hold the beads; you only have the picture. The best thing where size is concerned to do is to read the descriptions very well take another measurement tool or a ruler, and gauge the size. You don't want to be disappointed when your new bundle arrives, you open it up and realize that it's not the size you need to do the job you had it planned for. Again, if you are not sure, then just return to the local bead shop and request that size of the bead. Then go and order it. Just take your time and gather your information and you'll not have any trouble at all when you are currently buying beads online.

How does the brain measure time?
Researchers at the University of Minnesota's Center for Magnetic Resonance Research (CMRR) have found a small population of neurons that is involved in measuring time, which is a process that has traditionally been difficult to study in the lab.
In the study, which is published October 30 in the open access journal PLOS Biology, the researchers developed a task in which monkeys could only rely on their internal sense of the passage of time. Their task design eliminated all external cues which could have served as "clocks".
The monkeys were trained to move their eyes consistently at regular time intervals without any external cues or immediate expectation of reward. Researchers found that despite the lack of sensory information, the monkeys were remarkably precise and consistent in their timed behaviors. This consistency could be explained by activity in a specific region of the brain called the lateral intraparietal area (LIP). Interestingly, the researchers found that LIP activity during their task was different from activity in previous studies that had failed to eliminate external cues or expectation of reward.
"In contrast to previous studies that observed a build-up of activity associated with the passage of time, we found that LIP activity decreased at a constant rate between timed movements," said lead researcher Geoffrey Ghose, Ph.D., associate professor of neuroscience at the University of Minnesota. "Importantly, the animals' timing varied after these neurons were more, or less, active. It's as if the activity of these neurons was serving as an internal hourglass."
By developing a model to help explain the differences in timing signals they see relative to previous studies, their study also suggests that there is no "central clock" in the brain that is relied upon for all tasks involving timing. Instead, it appears as though each of the brain's circuits responsible for different actions are capable of independently producing an accurate timing signal.
One important direction for future research is to explore how such precise timing signals arise as a consequence of practice and learning, and whether, when the signals are altered, there are clear effects on behavior.

Met Éireann has elected to name a storm making its way towards Northern Ireland.
Expert forecasters think Storm Brian will arrive in Northern Ireland on Saturday.
The decision taken to name the storm was taken by Met Éireann because of the "potential risk of orange level winds developing in coastal regions of a number of counties in the west and southwest of the Republic of Ireland.
A Met Office yellow status severe weather warning for heavy rain for all of Northern Ireland is active between 3pm and 11.55pm on Thursday.

USN-2015-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
8 November 2013
linux vulnerabilities
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software Description
- linux - Linux kernel
Dan Carpenter discovered an information leak in the HP Smart Array and Compaq SMART2 disk-array driver in the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit this flaw to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory. (CVE-2013-2147)
Kees Cook discovered flaw in the Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem when CONFIG_HID_ZEROPLUS is enabled. A physically proximate attacker could leverage this flaw to cause a denial of service via a specially crafted device. (CVE-2013-2889)
Kees Cook discovered another flaw in the Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem of the Linux kernel when any of CONFIG_LOGITECH_FF, CONFIG_LOGIG940_FF, or CONFIG_LOGIWHEELS_FF are enabled. A physcially proximate attacker can leverage this flaw to cause a denial of service vias a specially crafted device. (CVE-2013-2893)
Kees Cook discovered yet another flaw in the Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem of the Linux kernel when CONFIG_HID_MULTITOUCH is enabled. A physically proximate attacker could leverage this flaw to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a specially crafted device. (CVE-2013-2897)
A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's dm snapshot facility. A remote authenticated user could exploit this flaw to obtain sensitive information or modify/corrupt data. (CVE-2013-4299)
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- linux-image-2.6.32-53-386 - 2.6.32-53.115
- linux-image-2.6.32-53-generic - 2.6.32-53.115
- linux-image-2.6.32-53-generic-pae - 2.6.32-53.115
- linux-image-2.6.32-53-ia64 - 2.6.32-53.115
- linux-image-2.6.32-53-lpia - 2.6.32-53.115
- linux-image-2.6.32-53-powerpc - 2.6.32-53.115

- linux-image-2.6.32-53-virtual - 2.6.32-53.115
To update your system, please follow these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades.
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. If you use linux-restricted-modules, you have to update that package as well to get modules which work with the new kernel version. Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic, linux-server, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform this as well.

OCEAN CITY – With the economy ranking No. 1 on voters' list of concerns, the topic of taxes is coming up with increasing regularity in debates and on the campaign trail. It's clear that the 44th president will greatly affect future tax policy and, by extension, your pocketbook and investment portfolio.
The parties have very different approaches, as evidenced by their candidates' positions. Republican presidential candidate John McCain, for instance, proposes making President George W. Bush's tax cuts permanent. He also wants to make it harder to raise taxes. His Democratic challenger, Barack Obama, is equally vocal about repealing those tax cuts for households earning more than $250,000.
Here's where the candidates stand on these issues and how their proposed changes might affect you.
With Bush's tax cuts scheduled to expire in 2011, Congress will be under pressure to pass legislation to extend or replace them. Senator Obama's plan to eliminate these cuts would increase income taxes for those in the highest two brackets and push the top marginal rate on ordinary income from 35% to 39.6%, according to William Ahern, spokesman for the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan tax research group, who adds that Democrats have proposed much more new spending than could be paid for by the tax increases they've discussed. Therefore, Ahern says, "they are likely to seek even higher taxes."
In contrast to his Democratic rival, McCain not only intends to make the Bush cuts permanent, he has also said he would reduce the corporate tax rate, now 35%, to 25% in a bid to stimulate the economy.
The alternative minimum tax (AMT), which adjusts tax liability upward for many individuals who take tax deductions, has been affecting more taxpayers each year. This year's adjustment to index the AMT to inflation cost taxpayers a staggering $63 billion. McCain has said he would phase out the AMT. Obama voted not to repeal it but has yet to provide more detailed plans on the tax everyone loves to hate. Still, as costly a headache as the AMT has become, few tax experts expect it to disappear under either a Republican or a Democratic president. The reason: Eliminating the AMT would create a huge gap in the federal budget that no candidate has yet to justify.
The Democratic candidate favors raising the current 15% rate on long-term capital gains and dividends to 28%, where it was from 1991 to 1997.
"Raising the rate would lower after-tax returns on equities and reduce high-end consumption, which could put a damper on the stock market," says David Rosenberg, Merrill Lynch Chief North American Economist.
Obama also advocates treating dividends as ordinary income.
"Many Democrats think those rates are too high," says Steven Sheffrin, dean of social sciences at the University of California–Davis, who notes that McCain has pledged to keep current rates on dividends and capital gains right where they are.
Any increase in the tax on dividends would worry Raj Chetty, professor of economics at UC-Berkeley, who has studied how corporations respond to a favorable dividend rate.
"When rates are low, companies pay out more retained earnings as dividends," Chetty says. "And dividends spur economic growth as investors plow the money back into other companies."
Chetty and others point out that no candidate has yet proposed a definitive solution to the elephant in the room: the huge deficits being racked up by Medicare and Social Security as the wave of baby boomers prepares to retire. But many experts think higher taxes are inevitable to pay for those social entitlement programs.
"If the health care inflation rate keeps outpacing growth in gross domestic product, the arithmetic for Medicare in particular gets out of control pretty quickly," says Sheffrin.
Don't expect much money for entitlements to be generated by a reinvigorated estate tax, says Rosenberg. After being temporarily eliminated for 2010, the estate tax is slated to jump to 55% on estates of more than $1 million starting in 2011. Though neither of the candidates has proposed eliminating the tax permanently, McCain has called for higher exemption levels and lower estate tax rates. He would also like to see a 15% estate tax with a $10 million exemption for couples. Obama has yet to provide any specifics.
There are clearly marked differences between the two parties—and some surprising areas of agreement. Both candidates, for instance, have proposed new ways to ease the tax burden for the middle class and working poor.
They will argue their viewpoints, and, come November, the voters will have their say. But practically speaking, just how much power the next president will have to effect real change depends on which party wins. With the Republicans expected to lose seats in the Senate and the Democrats likely to remain in control of the House, "a Democratic president may have a bit more sway in advancing tax policy, whereas a Republican president could face a stalemate," predicts Sheffrin.
No matter what happens, investors would be wise to consider the implications of a new administration and discuss the possible effects on their portfolios with their Financial Advisors.

A cat that was stuck up a tree in Port Moody, B.C., for five days finally has been rescued.
Resident Terry Banks noticed the feline's predicament on Tuesday, when it was only about seven metres up, but he couldn't get a ladder long enough to help it down.
The cat had climbed higher each day since, and was estimated to be about 25 metres up on Sunday.
Concerned neighbours, who heard the cat's cries, weren't able to convince the fire department or SPCA to help, they said. So they passed the hat around and raised $100 — enough to hire an arborist willing to climb the tree.
The arborist clambering up with spiked boots and was able to reach the cat, tuck it into a backpack, and bring it safely to the ground.
The kitty suffered some small paw wounds and lost a little weight but is said to be OK.

text: Chiropractic around the world - Palmer Alumni are making a differenceFall/Winter 2013 Home article > a message from Dr. Burt Palmer alumni are leading the charge to advance chiropractic worldwide Before I sat down to write this column, I consulted with WFC Secretary- General David Chapman- Smith, who was interviewed for our cover story. I shortly discovered just how involved our alumni are in the advancement of chiropractic around the world. It seems no matter where you turn there's a Palmer graduate leading the charge or doing the heavy lifting. There are world-renowned researchers such as Dr. Scott Haldeman, Davenport '64; Dr. Jan Hartvigsen, Davenport '89, from Denmark; and Dr. Eduardo Bracher, West '95, from Brazil. In the sports world you'll find folks like Dr. Saul Luengas, West '94, in Mexico; Dr. Roland Noirat, West '90, in Switzerland; and Dr. Alex Steinbrenner, Davenport '02, in Germany. Then there are those graduates who are professional leaders like Dr. Oystein Ogre, Davenport '80, president of the European Chiropractors' Union; Dr. Reg Engelbrecht, Davenport '63, CEO of the South African Association; and Dr. Laurie Tassell, Davenport '85, president of the Chiropractors' Association of Australia. Other alumni who are regional leaders include Dr. Stathis Papadopoulos, who was interviewed for our cover story and is the long-term leader in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East region; Dr. Sira Borges, Davenport '90, of Brazil, who's known as "the godmother of chiropractic" in Latin America for her work developing the profession there; Dr. Richard Visser, West '93, the minister of health in Aruba; and the WFC's current president, Dr. Dennis Richards of Australia, who examines chiropractic in his country for our cover story. This is an impressive, though incomplete, list of Palmer graduates who are making a difference in chiropractic on the international front. The College started the process of reconnecting with its international alumni in October 2009 when I attended the Australian national convention in Canberra, which included a special Palmer alumni reunion celebration. I spent 10 days traveling around southeast Australia, meeting with a number of alumni and making important contacts and friends. Then in 2011, I traveled to Brazil to attend the World Federation of Chiropractic conference in Rio de Janeiro. During that meeting I was reminded again of the importance our alumni place on the College and its presence at these events. This year I had the opportunity to attend the WFC conference in Durban, South Africa. The primary question I asked everyone I came in contact with was, "How could we do a better job of staying connected with you, and how could we better support you in your endeavors to move chiropractic forward?" In almost every case the answer to both questions was the same: "Share our good work with the world. Let people know what we're doing in our part of the world." We're responding to this message from our international alumni by making a special effort to travel to international events to help stay connected to our alumni, and we plan to have a section in each issue of Insights that focuses on the good work our international alumni are doing. article >

Property assessment underway
KINGSTON — The town of Kingston has contracted with KRT Appraisal to measure and list all 4,494 properties within the town.
This project will be completed by June 30. KRT Appraisal employees in the field will have an identification badge and a letter of introduction from the town, explaining the purpose of their visit as well as introducing the data collector and the vehicle they are driving. If someone is home, the data collector will ask to inspect the interior of the property to verify data on file with the assessor's office. If no one is home, a postcard will be left informing the property owner that someone was there. The town appreciates taxpayer cooperation through this process as data verification is an important part of the overall assessment process. KRT Appraisal will be using a laser measuring device instead of a standard tape measure. This device, produced by 3D Data Ltd., uses lasers to collect millions of data points on a given building simply by walking around its footprint. These data points create a 3-D representation of the building which is easily converted to a sketch diagram accurate to within a couple of inches. The final output is entered into the town's appraisal software, along with the other data verified during the site visit. The project will start on the east end of Main Street and move counterclockwise around the town over the next few months. The two KRT Appraisal data collectors who will be working in Kingston are Doug Rollins and Josh Gendron. Their names and vehicle information will be given to the Kingston Police Department for verification. For questions regarding the data collection process, call the Kingston assessor's office at 781-585-0509.
