Senate rejects background checks
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama and Connecticut officials expressed outrage Wednesday after the U.S. Senate rejected legislation to toughen federal gun laws, dealing a bitter defeat to proponents who had invoked the Newtown school massacre to make their case.
A visibly angry Obama, flanked by Newtown families and Vice President Joe Biden, told reporters at a White House Rose Garden news conference that "this was a pretty shameful day for Washington.''
Obama, referring to the Newtown victims, said that "the memories of these children" demand that the federal government respond to concerns about gun violence. "Sooner or later we are going to get this right,'' he said. "This is just round one.''
He spoke directly to Americans, consistently shown in polls to favor increased gun control, warning that "To change Washington, you ... are going to have to sustain some passion about this. And when necessary, you've got to send the right people to Washington. And that requires strength, and it requires persistence.''
Obama was introduced by Newtown parent Mark Barden, father of Daniel -- one of the 26 victims of the mass shooting at Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14 -- who said he and other Newtown families "are going home disappointed, but not defeated."
"We are not going away. And every day, as more people are killed in this country because of gun violence, our determination grows stronger," he said.
Also joining the president were former Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords, gravely wounded by a gunman in 2011, and representatives of four other Newtown families: Jimmy Greene, father of Ana; Nicole Hockley, mother of Dylan; Jeremy Richman, father of Avielle; and Neil Heslin, father of Jesse Lewis.
Later, Heslin told reporters that it "saddens me that congressmen didn't stand up and do what is right. Jesse and the other victims lost their lives to a cowardly gunman but we will not lose our fight to some cowardly congressmen. We aren't going away.''
Erica Lafferty, daughter of slain Sandy Hook principal Dawn Hochsprung, said she was "disgusted but not discouraged'' by the Senate votes. "We absolutely will overcome this,'' she said, adding: "Thank you to all of Connecticut for all of your overwhelming support for the past four months.''
Connecticut's two senators, Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy -- both leaders in the legislative strategy on behalf of the gun measures -- twinned their expressions of anger and frustration with promises to continue the fight.
Blumenthal, describing himself as "saddened and shocked but more determined than ever,'' told a reporter: "This fight is not over. The Senate has said `no' to the American people and the American people won't take `no' for an answer.''
Murphy said the Senate vote on background checks was "shameful.''
"I saw cowardice on the Senate floor today but I have faith that public opinion is moving in only one direction and that this tide of support for gun violence reform will ultimately prevail," he said. "This fight is just beginning for me.''
On the other side of the issue, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called the vote "a crucial victory for the Second Amendment," saying "a pathway to a national gun registry has been defeated," even though the Manchin-Toomey amendment would have specifically outlawed a registry.
Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy asked how senators who voted against the background-check measure could justify their vote. He said the bill was a "basic, common-sense reform.''
"When the Senate cannot come together on an issue that is supported by the vast majority of Americans, there is little to no hope that common sense will prevail. The members who voted against this proposal should be ashamed of themselves."
Rep. Elizabeth Esty, D-Cheshire, whose district includes Newtown, said she was "astounded'' that the Senate "ignored the voices of Newtown families'' in rejecting the background checks measure. She vowed to continue the fight: "This is far from over."
Connecticut's House delegation, too, expressed both outrage and resolve:
Rep. Jim Himes, D-Greenwich, said he was "outraged'' and "bitterly disappointed" that the Senate rejected the background-check measure.
"With more than 90 percent of Americans supporting background checks, it is simply unfathomable that this obvious legislation did not garner the needed votes to pass the Senate and move onto the House of Representatives. The victims of Newtown -- and the over 3,000 people who have been killed by gun violence since then -- deserve better than that.''
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-New Haven, said she was "outraged and angered" at what she termed the Senate's "shameful" vote on background checks.
"How senators who voted against this proposal can look the families from Newtown, Aurora, Blacksburg and so many other places across this nation in the eye and tell them they did the right thing is beyond me."
State Sen. John McKinney, R-Fairfield, whose district includes Newtown, said he didn't expect Congress to make major changes to gun laws, but he thought there was enough bipartisan support for expanded criminal background checks.
"I don't think people can argue that the background checks violate their Second Amendment rights," McKinney said in the Capitol. "I feel bad for the Newtown families who've gone down to Washington and worked so hard to get this passed. I was hopeful that what we did in Connecticut and the advocacy of the Newtown families would have helped garner the passage of at least the background-check bill."
Weeks of public debate about the place of guns in American society and whether new legal restrictions were needed climaxed in a series of seven Senate votes over two hours that left nothing changed, with no new limitations or rights approved by the lawmakers.
Senate rules set a high standard of 60 votes in the 100-member Senate to adopt any of the measures and all failed to reach that threshold.
The hallmark measure -- the compromise hammered out by Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., to expand background checks to include gun shows and internet sales -- won only 54 votes, six short of the necessary 60. Existing law limits those checks to buyers dealing with federally licensed gun dealers.
Biden, the presiding officer in the Senate, took a rare turn in the chair to signify the importance of the vote on the background check measure. Shouts of "shame" came from the visitors' gallery as the results of vote became clear.
Also defeated were:
An amendment sponsored by Blumenthal that would have outlawed the sale of high capacity ammunition magazines holding more than 10 bullets. This was defeated by a 46-54 margin.
A proposal by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to outlaw military-style assault weapons, defeated by a 40-60 vote. Before the vote, Feinstein lashed out at her Senate colleagues for their earlier votes that she said showed a "lack of courage.'' She implored her colleagues to "show some guts."
A bill by Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, to crack down on straw purchases and illegal gun trafficking was two votes shy of approval, 58-42, even though it had been endorsed by the National Rifle Association.
Also defeated were measures supported by gun rights advocates, including an amendment to expand the rights of holders of "concealed carry' permits; a proposal to make it easier for veterans to purchase guns even though they have been declared by the Veterans Administration to be incapable to managing their own finances; and a broad measure that tinkered on the margins of existing federal gun rules. That measure sponsored by Sens. Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and others, would boost federal resources to prosecute people who are ineligible to buy guns but who try to do so and provide incentives for states to share information such as mental health court records with the federal background check system.
After the Manchin-Toomey measure on background checks was defeated, the NRA issued a statement calling it "misguided.'' "Expanding background checks, at gun shows or elsewhere, will not reduce violent crime or keep our kids safe in their schools," the NRA said.

The California T – A critical success on the roads of Tuscany
Maranello, 19th June 2014
The roads of Val d'Orcia and the charming towns of Tuscany have been providing the backdrop to the International Media Test Drive for the California T. It is, of course, a well-established Ferrari tradition to allow the motoring press to put each new Prancing Horse car launched through its paces on the open road, thereby providing clients and enthusiasts with an insightful first impression of its capabilities.
The 130 newspapers and magazines invited to take part this time hail from all over the world and have been unanimous in their approval of the California T's prowess in all areas, describing it as a sporty yet comfortable GT that delivers superb driving pleasure in all conditions as well as both at consistently high speeds and in the city.
The new turbo engine also greatly impressed the press corps as it successfully pulls of the challenge of combining reduced fuel consumption with razor-sharp responsiveness, torque that rises across the entire rev range and a typical Ferrari soundtrack. The car's sporty dynamics and ability to deliver a comfortable ride on the most uneven of roads were also praised. Lastly, the California T's design, which lends it a strong personality that is a unique melding of sportiness and elegance, also won the unanimous approval of the test-drivers.

It's a rule, bartender Karen Brody says: The schlubbier the guy, the more likely he is to persistently pursue a pretty woman.
Brody — a lithe, slender Woodstown, N.J., bartender who looks at least a decade younger than her 47 years — recalls the time she was being "entertained" by a paunchy trucker with several missing front teeth. As the night wore on, he slumped to one side and eventually toppled off his barstool. When she raced around to make sure he was OK, the plump patron immediately resumed his pick-up patter — from the floor.
Apparently, the pudgy trucker isn't just an aberration, and the come-ons aren't just the after-effects of alcohol. A new study confirms what women say they've known all along: Men, no matter how unattractive, think they've got a chance with a runway model.
The proof was in the matchmaking Web site HOTorNOT.com, a site where members rate each others' "hotness." The site offered a treasure trove of data: It contained information not only on dating habits of its members, but also on the members' opinions of their own attractiveness and the "hotness" of potential dates, according to a study published in a recent issue of Psychological Science.
Researchers studied ratings and dating information from 16,550 members during a 10-day period in 2005. All membersstudied were heterosexual, with 75 percent males and 25 percent female.
Using this data, they determined that the physical attractiveness of a potential mate was more important to men than women. And men were less likely than women to think that their own lack of attractiveness — based both on a self assessment and the ratings of others — should stand in the way of a date with someone "hot."
Maybe men think women have all read "The Frog Prince" and taken it to heart, allowing us to look past an ugly exterior in the search for inner beauty. Or perhaps it's that men have internalized the messages in the popular media: movies like "Knocked Up," where the slacker hero lands a beautiful babe, or TV shows like "According to Jim," in which a difficult, slobby guy is coupled with a gorgeous wife.
The lead author of the study, Leonard Lee, an assistant professor at Columbia's Graduate School of Business, thinks these far-fetched movie and TV couples might explain why unfortunate-looking men tend to hold out such high hopes. But he wonders whether the unattractive guys eventually learn that their chances are slim regardless of what they see on screen. There's another important finding in the study, he says: The 10s among us, both male and female, want only to date other 10s.
There are hints in the HOTorNOT.com data that suggest men do learn to accept their limitations: They apparently hedge their bets by asking for more dates. In fact, the men in the study requested a full 240 percent more dates than the women. Researchers didn't look at how many of these online come-ons were successful, but the number of dates most men asked for might be a sign that the less attractive among us — even the men — recognize that they may have to settle for dating someone who is closer to them on the "hotness" scale.
"Good looking people are always looking for other good looking people," says Helen Fisher, a professor at Rutgers University who studies mating behavior and romantic love.
"And ultimately, men figure their own good looks are not as important as a woman's," says Fisher, who wasn't involved with the study. "They figure they're selling a whole lot of things that women want that aren't associated with being attractive."

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Besides, from an evolutionary perspective, men are simply looking for the woman most likely to produce a strong healthy baby — so that means they're often focused on physical attractiveness.
"Men might as well reach for the stars," says William Pollack, a Harvard University psychologist and the director of the Center for Men and Young Men at McLean Hospital. "Women are the ones who are going to have the baby. They need to be a little more picky."
In the end, there might be some signs that boorish boys know they're overreaching — and that may be expressed in the level of their braggadocio.
When a really attractive man is interested in a date, Brody says, he's quieter and more cautious. "He'll come back a bunch of times and try to get to know me before asking," she adds.

Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study
Project Description
The Boreal Ecosystem - Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) was a large-scale experiment initiated in 1990 to investigate interactions between the boreal forest biome and the atmosphere. Surface, airborne, and satellite-based observations were collected to study the biological and physical processes and conditions that govern the exchanges of radiative energy, water, heat, carbon, and trace gases between boreal forest ecosystems and the atmosphere, particularly those processes that may be sensitive to global change.
The objectives of the BOREAS project were:
-To improve process models that describe the exchanges of radiative energy, water, heat, carbon, and trace constituents between the boreal forest and the atmosphere.
-To develop methods for applying the process models over large spatial scales using remote sensing and other integrative modeling techniques.

(CNN) - Days before the Senate votes on ending the filibuster against Chuck Hagel's nomination for defense secretary, GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham sent a letter to the former senator, demanding access to Hagel's Senate archives and requesting answers to more questions about his record.
"Given the threats we face in the world and the public confidence level needed to be an effective Secretary of Defense, I believe the airing of your views and record is critical to the confirmation process," Graham stated in the letter.
Read the letter here.
The controversy started earlier this week when a reporter from the conservative publication, the Weekly Standard, tried to access the documents but was rebuffed by administrators at the University of Nebraska, Omaha.
The documents were given to the school by Hagel, a Nebraskan who retired from the Senate in 2009 after two terms.
The archive is comprised of legislative papers, including speeches, memos, handwritten letters, photos and other correspondence Hagel accumulated during his 12 years in office, according to the school.
In a statement to CNN, a spokesman from the University of Nebraska, Omaha, said there is good reason to deny access to the papers.
"Once the archive is processed and indexed, according to the standards and best practices of the Society of American Archivists, they will be open to the public. Until that time, they are not open to the public. We are working toward the day when the archive is processed and available to researchers," Charles Reed, a media relations coordinator at the school, said.
But Graham, among other Republicans, is calling on Hagel to allow the university to grant access to his archives. He also wants access to the Washington Speakers Bureau for video of Hagel's speeches and demands answers to previous questions about his position on Israel.
The South Carolina senator has been a leading voice in the fight against Hagel's nomination, questioning some of his past positions and statements. He was one of 15 GOP senators who called on Obama to withdraw his nomination of Hagel in a letter Thursday. The Senate is scheduled to vote Tuesday on Hagel.
Graham said Sunday he received a letter from Hagel disavowing a statement from 2007 in which Hagel was described as saying the State Department was an "adjunct" to the Israeli government. The senator said he accepted Hagel's response, which said he did not recall making that statement and would "disavow" it.
"Well, if in fact that's true, that would end that matter," Graham said. "So, I'll just take him at his word unless something new comes along."
In the same interview on Fox News, Graham defended his relentless vetting of Hagel.
"We're doing our job to scrutinize, I think, one of the most unqualified, radical choices for secretary of defense in a very long time," Graham said.
- CNN's Mike Mount, Kevin Bohn, Gregory Wallace and Ashley Killough contributed to this report.
Linsey Graham is simply pathetic. He is a first class sissy that is trying to give the impression that he is a tough guy but he is only a deceiver.
Political witch-hunting is offensive at all times. Senator Graham, please stop. There are a lot of serious issues to consider at this time. Remember, you have Someone to whom you must give account of your stewardship.
Re: Mr Graham's questioning of Mr Hagel, a more descriptive word is vindictive rather than vetting. Mr Graham is show casing the fact that Party is much more important to Republicans than the health and welfare of our Nation and, God help you if you disagree with the like mindedness of your colleagues. So much for independent thought.
This man is a war Hawk. He and McCain need to be put out to pasture. They do nothing to help the USA move forward. They sound like the Tea Party whiners.
This entire Hagel debacle has made Graham, McCain, and Ayotte look like nothing more than the spoiled little brats they are, sticking their puny little noses in the air using their made up concerns and their hyperventilating, partisan, egotistical crap as they mug for the cameras, standing together as "real" Americans doing nothing more sinister than trying to take "their" country back from the black man and all those who support him. My only surprise is that Ayotte fell for the Graham and McCain BS, and fell hard.
Who is this moron. Keeps on harping on this issue relentlessly and side stepping important issues that need most immediate and cooperative attention of the law makers in DC. Shut up and focus on the economy and work with the president. Otherwise retire and go home.
Lindsey Graham = irrelevant
"Lindsey the Combat Lawyer". How many Purples Hearts do you have again? Any Bronze Starswith combat V? No?? Then, sit down and shut up! You have no idea what it takes to go to combat for this country and you darn sure don't have a clue of what it takes to take care of those who do go to combat for this country. And, I ain't talking about combat support. I'm talking about engaging the enemy in mortal combat. You have ZERO credibility on this issue. Sit down...and turn in the Eagles you so frivously disrespect!
I have a hell of a lot more confidence in Hagel than I do in Sen Graham. He is little more then an obstructionist running for reelection. Getting his names in the press is more important then doing what is right for the Country.
over the years i guess he was not doing his job then.....it only took seconds and no research to appoint everyonee else over the past yearss he has been in office, this is the picture of the reason why the GOP has not changed since the election.......anything but work with the adm. on makingg the USA a better place, i still have 3 1/2 years to open a super pac to spend on every obstrucionist that has put fwd thier petty garbage while the country suffers,..... stay tuned for..........the new super pac......... REMOVE OBSTRUCTIONIST FROM CONGRESS SUPER PAC.
Sen Graham needs to calm down. For some reason he has made this into a vendetta against Sen. Hagel. Perhaps there is something that he does not want us to know about him. If he keeps the attention on the nomination of Sen. Hagel no one will look at him.
There is also an issue of being on the news every day. He needs to part of the headlines. It is becoming more and more evident that he has this need to be on Sunday news shows, nightly news programs, etc. The media is helping to fuel this whole scenario. There needs to be a may or yea vote on the nomination and we need to move one. That would include Sen. Graham.

Ardour: An Audio Editor That's Hard to Master and Tough to Beat
Nov 16, 2011 5:00 AM PT
Using a fully functional digital audio workstation, or DAW, is a computing necessity only for hard-core audiophiles, musicians and those who package audio and video content. If you fit one of those categories and do not know about Ardour, you could be pleasantly surprised at its power and relative ease-of-use.
Ardour is the go-to app of choice on Linux for many audio editors. I have less use for a top-of-the-line DAW, however. I was getting along fine with Audacity until I needed specialized results for a project on which I was consulting. That is when I made the switch to Ardour. It is lean but packs some powerhouse tools for effective sound mixing, effects and cutting.
One of the partners on this project actually moved into Linux just to use Ardour over other products available on the Microsoft Windows platform. Ardour has no Windows version, although it is available for Mac OS X.
With Ardour, I was able to easily grab output from multiple channel sources. It let me mix all the channels, samples and effects. I could save the configurations with the specialty plug-ins intact. This allowed others involved in the project to work more collaboratively from their remote locations.
Not Flawless
I was not completely sold on Ardour when I first installed the app. The production team members used several flavors of Linux. That meant introducing Ardour to a variable collection of kernel and supporting libraries.
Some of these wrinkles smoothed out after adjusting system settings. Others were more persistent.
For example, I am still plagued with an error message of sorts when I load Ardour. That message warns me that my system has a limit for the maximum amount of locked memory. The message further advises that this might cause Ardour to run out of memory before my system runs out of memory.
The fix for this nagging message is to view the memory limit by entering this command in a terminal window:
ulimit -l
Then edit memory settings in the file:
Ardour continues to issue the warning message. But it so far has not crashed or failed to deliver.
What It Does
Ardour is a multichannel DAW that controls, records, edits and runs complex audio setups. It supports pro-audio interfaces through the ALSA project. This is the source of Ardour's flexibility. It works with any interface supported by ALSA.
It provides a high degree of professional-strength reliability. To a large extent, this comes from its built-in multi-track audio editor/arranger. It can handle all standard non-linear editing operations. It has unlimited undo/redo capabilities.
Ardour can save independent versions of a track or an entire composition. I particularly liked the ease with which it converted large MP3 files. I was also impressed with Ardour's ability to give every mixer strip any number of inputs and outputs. It is not limited to mono, stereo or 5.1 formats.
Powerful Tools
Ardour supports 24-bit samples using floating point internally and has a configurable mixer, MTC master/slave capabilities and MIDI hardware control surface compatibility. This ability makes Ardour capable of being controlled by any MMC controller and many modern digital mixers.
It uses the Jack Audio Connection Kit for all audio I/O. This lets you exchange data in perfect samplesync with other applications and /or hardware audio interfaces.
Ardour excels at handling sync and interface through common standards. You can apply time stretch/shrink, panning and automation of volume. Its ability to use sends is awesome.
Tough Set Up
Do not expect to open Ardour on first use and produce fine-tuned recording and editing results. This is not a beginner's audio app.
That said, a little familiarity with the fine points of audio mixing and sound equipment will go a long way to settling in with Ardour. As a starting point, access the JACK Control from the Applications/Sound and Video menu.
The heart and soul of professional-strength sound apps rests with adding functionality from plug-ins. Ardour limps along in that aspect. But it makes up for it by being able to add a large collection of industry-standard plug-ins. It supports LADSPA and LV2 plug-ins.
Challenging Interface
Ardour's interface can leave you scratching your head. I am not saying that this app is complicated to use. On the contrary, once you get used to its jam-packed feature menus, you will navigate through the tool sets with relative ease. But expect a steep learning curve first.
The layout of the Ardour screen is daunting. It devotes the majority of its viewing window to the digital cutting board. Unlike other audio editing apps, this area is not resizable.
That leaves a left vertical panel to display sources and two very packed tool rows and audio controls to fight for space on top.
Plan on spending considerable time with the online manual. You can access it from Help/Manual. It is well organized and extremely helpful.
Navigation Nirvana
Tour the Session drop-down choices to get a sense of what Ardour offers. It closely resembles what you would expect to find in a traditional File menu.
You will also find unique options related to your recording or editing session such as Add Track/Bus, Import/Export, and cleanup unused sources/flush wastebasket. The other menu items are much more task-specific.
It took me about two hours to work my way through the uses of items in the Transport and Region menus. The Edit and Track menus were far more familiar to me from my use of other audio apps.
Everything on the control board is clickable. Inserting tracks, cutting segments and adding effects are all a drag and click away.
Bottom Line
Ardour's channel capacity is controlled by the capacity of your computer's audio interface and its disk subsystem to stream data back and forth. This app is sample rate and size neutral. So it works with any hardware formats from 8 to 32 bits and rates from 8 kHz to 192kHz.
Ardour is a DAW application for professionals and experienced audio users. It can be a real dog to configure to your equipment array. Once you overcome that hurdle, the rest is easy. It is a powerful app complete with tools for recording, editing and mixing multi-track audios.

The discovery sheds new light on cell behaviour and could lead to the development on new drugs to combat diseases such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's disease.
The team led by Monash University Associate Professor Martin Lackmann found that for one particular communicator between cells, an enzyme known as A-Disintegrin-And-Metalloprotease 10 (ADAM10), a change in the shape of its contender (communication partner) will start the communication process.
Scientists are interested in ADAM10 — and the proteins that are split by this protease — because it is critical in cellular mechanisms that underlie several major diseases.
"This communication process between cells forms the basis for the way in which certain diseases progress. This discovery will change how we understand cell behaviour and change how we consider the design of therapeutic drugs in this area" Associate Professor Lackmann said.
"This new concept in understanding of how cells communicate identifies a process that is much simpler than previously thought and which will profoundly impact the direction of future biomedical research in this area," he said.
"The research team found that instead of using complex signalling pathways, this communication system is really very direct and simple. In this case it is a transient switch in the overall shape of the contending cell surface receptor itself which activates the ADAM10 protease to communicate this change and its functional consequences to a neighbouring cell.
"The discovery of this switch opens new avenues for the development of drugs that recognise this changed shape and prevent the signalling to other cells, thus slowing or even halting the spread of disease.
The discovery was made using fluorescence and electron microscopy techniques, which allowed the observation of intact cells at single molecule resolution the changes in the shape of the cell surface receptor that occur during cell-to-cell communication.
The discovery was published online today in the open-access journal PLoS Biology.

Mass Notification Allows Organizations to React to Security Events
More Quickly and Accurately
LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 2, 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) has teamed with Roseville, California-based REACT Systems™, Inc. to provide a unified security solution for mass notification. The offering allows the REACT! Enterprise Critical Response Notification System to interface with Honeywell's Pro-Watch® security management and WIN-PAK® access control platforms. Bringing Honeywell and REACT security technologies together provides users with the ability to automate the process of initiating a response to critical scenarios, ensuring that information reaches people quickly so they can take appropriate action.
"During an emergency situation, every second counts,†said John Lorenty, general manager for access systems, Honeywell. "Many businesses today still rely on outdated procedures and methods to communicate in a crisis. By providing a way to allow security personnel to reach the greatest number of people in the shortest amount of time, we're fulfilling our mission of helping make the world safer and more secure.â€
The interfacing of Honeywell's Pro-Watch and WIN-PAK platforms with REACT allows notification of security events to occur quickly and efficiently, wherever responders are, using whatever communication methods are available. While organizations often have plans in place for first responders, the response plans often stop there. Because many security and life safety events can impact a larger set of people, it is critical that organizations have the ability to provide specific instructions to staff and visitors.
"We are happy to be working with Honeywell to improve the security and response effectiveness of organizations,†said Maria Ligeti, chairman and CEO of REACT Systems. "Through providing mass notification technology for effective response to events, we can provide our customers with the ability to save lives and reduce the impact of security and life safety events.â€
The interface to Pro-Watch and WIN-PAK, as well as a standalone offering, is currently available through Honeywell's Integrated Security channel. Honeywell and REACT are demonstrating the new offering at ISC West, April 1-3 in Las Vegas, NV in booth 14023.

Flying horses are one of my favorite things to draw especially the cute kind. Today I am going to start the tutorial day by uploading a lesson that is going to teach you "how to draw easy Pegasus", step by step. Drawing Pegasus is something I haven't done in so long. I only have two flying horse submissions on the site, and since I haven't drawn any fantasy creatures of Greek lore lately, I thought a nice tutorial on an easy way to draw this flying animal would be just great. One of the things I love about the finished art, is the background. I drew such a bright and sparkling setting for Pegasus, and the expression on her face really sets the mood for the type of path she is taking. I was inspired for this easy design of Pegasus from one of my kid sisters Barbie movies that she has. She was actually watching the movie in my room last night as I worked, and I happened to glance over and saw some of the cutest Pegasus horses around. Now I have the pleasure to show you "how to draw an easy Pegasus" too. I will be back in a bit with some other awesome lessons for you all to enjoy and learn from. Until my return, adios people and have an awesome drawing day.

****in Rain. Tipping Kaneh to score big in tests.
****in Rain. Tipping Kaneh to score big in tests.
Proud Supporter of: Shakib Al Hasan, Kane Williamson, Adam Milne [/B]
omfg we have cricket! Malinga all over Nicol in the first over
Jeez this is an awful looking team on paper. I can't believe Andrew Ellis is still playing international cricket.
...and the second over, including dropped catch
Can't tell if the pitch is doing all sorts or if it's just swing and dire batting
Why would you choose to bat when your relative strength is seam bowling (Mills, Southee, Boult), and you have a makeshift top order (no Guptill or BMc) !?
This is positively swashbuckling.
Jeez. Latham out for 2 (18). Not one of his best. Just one scoring shot.
Top ball, though.
Last edited by _Ed_; 04-11-2012 at 03:34 AM.
Williamson should have gone in at 3 IMO.
Wahey! Boundary.
I really hope Latham is gaining something from this. Repeatedly shown in international career to date that it is far far too soon for him.
This is painful so far. tbf it is doing plenty.
Lol, about 8-10 of our measly runs so far have been misfields

I was thinking about this for quite some time. Is function memoization really only for primitives?
I currently have this piece of code:
Public Shared Function Mize(Of TArg1 As Structure, TResult)(ByVal input_f As System.Func(Of TArg1, TResult)) As System.Func(Of TArg1, TResult)
Dim map = New System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of TArg1, TResult)
Return Function(arg1 As TArg1)
If map.ContainsKey(arg1) Then Return map.Item(arg1)
Dim result = input_f(arg1)
map.Add(arg1, result)
Return result
End Function
End Function
And I'm wondering should i upgrade TArg1 such that it could accept any arbitrary class?

AgWeatherNet Current Conditions Map
AgWeatherNet provides access to current and historical weather data from Washington State University's automated weather station network along with a range of models and decision aids. The weather data, advisories, customized weather alerts and decision support systems provided by AgWeatherNet and WSU can help improve production and product quality, optimize resource use and reduce environmental impact.
AgWeatherNet includes 207 automated weather stations located mostly in the irrigated regions of eastern Washington state. Since the installation of the first station in 1988, the network has undergone significant expansion in western Washington as well as in the dry land regions of the state. Standard AgWeatherNet weather variables include air temperature, relative humidity, dew point temperature, soil temperature at 8 inches, rainfall, wind speed, wind direction, solar radiation and leaf wetness. Some stations also measure atmospheric pressure. These variables are recorded every 5 seconds and summarized every 15 minutes by a data logger.
The monitoring stations are comprised of Campbell Scientific CR-1000 data loggers and a complement of sensors from different manufacturers. The data loggers are powered by a battery that is recharged through a solar panel during the daytime. Communications are handled through cell phone data telemetry and the internet. Following data processing the weather data are disseminated via the web site weather.wsu.edu. The weather data and associated tools that are provided on the web site are updated continuously.
The weather network is administered and managed by the AgWeatherNet team located at the WSU Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center in Prosser, WA. However, AgWeatherNet is programmatically linked to the research, extension and instruction efforts conducted by all departments and research and extension centers of the College of Agriculture, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences of WSU.
AgWeatherNet data may be accessed and retrieved free of charge. Although membership is not a requirement, access to data for Guest Users is limited to the publicly available tools on the web page. Registered Users who login have the privilege of accessing the entire AgWeatherNet data set through the web based tools that are provided upon login. Registration information is confidential and used by AgWeatherNet staff for statistical reports and to provide better services. Therefore, we encourage all users to register for an AgWeatherNet account and login.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the operation of AgWeatherNet and the decision aid tools.

You can bring all of the rustic charm of a quiet little cabin in the woods into your own home with a set of Real Fyre Burnt Rustic Oak Gas Logs by Peterson. Burnt Rustic Oak Gas Logs are made of the same high-quality materials and have the same steel reinforcement bars that all Peterson Gas Logs do. However, these gas logs feature a partially charred appearance and a bottom log that is burnt through, providing a realistic look and a better view of the flames and embers within the gas logs. The Real Fyre Rustic Oak Designer Gas Logs by Peterson blend the speed and convenience of modern life with the old-world, rustic charm of a simple evening in the country.
This vented gas log set comes with a Peterson Real Fyre ANSI Certified Triple T Gas Log Burner System. It produces the same realistic flames and natural look you would expect from any Peterson burner, but with a unique improvement. The ANSI Certified Triple T features a T-shaped burner that emphasizes its front embers, giving them an even greater dramatic effect, and adds depth to its flames. This unique design also maximizes the warmth you get from your gas logs by bringing the flames closer to your fireplace opening.
This is a vented gas log set that must be installed in a fully vented wood burning fireplace. With vented gas logs, you'll enjoy a large, realistic-looking flame that operates with an open chimney flue, or damper. These logs, which simulate a wood-burning fire, are the most realistic type of gas logs but, just like real fires, lose some of the generated heat up the chimney. Vented gas log sets are the most popular type of gas logs sold. Professional installation is recommended.
Sets include handcrafted logs, custom grate, Real-Fyre Burner System, Granules (sand or vermiculite), Glowing Embers, grate clips/log locators, pan/connector kit and damper clamp.
This gas log set comes with a Manual Safety Pilot Kit. The manual safety pilot is the most basic safety pilot. It is a standing pilot light which stays lit indefinitely. To light the log set or to turn the flame up and down, you simply turn the knob on the pilot kit. This knob is located on the actual pilot kit which is attached to the burner system.
