Syria vote poses dilemma for black members of Congress
- Polls show African-American voters are slightly less supportive of airstrikes on Syria
- The Congressional Black Caucus is urging members to withhold judgment until Monday%27s briefing
- Some ask if intervention is right for Syria%2C then wny not for Rwanda or Darfur
WASHINGTON — The Congressional Black Caucus faces a dilemma: It has been one of President Obama's most reliable sources of support but also has been historically opposed to wars from Vietnam to Iraq.
So a vote on the resolution to authorize Obama to launch airstrikes in response to Syria's use of chemical weapons poses a unique challenge for black members of Congress, who tend to be receptive to Obama's humanitarian arguments but skeptical about the use of military power.
On Monday, Obama will send National Security Adviser Susan Rice to brief members of the Congressional Black Caucus behind closed doors, part of an outreach effort to key Democratic constituencies on Capitol Hill. White House chief of staff Denis McDonough held calls with members of the Progressive Caucus and Hispanic Caucus on Wednesday.
"We need to have a conversation about what this means in light of our priorities as a caucus," said Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., who holds the No. 3 leadership post in the 43-member Congressional Black Caucus, which is exclusively Democratic. "I'm not at all certain that it's a monolithic vote. Each member is going to look at what these actions mean for our nation, and then we're going to relate it to the concerns of our constituents."
STORY:White House lobbied 185 lawmakers to back Syria strike
One particular sensitivity for black members of Congress is geography. If the use of force is being justified on a humanitarian basis in the Middle East, why didn't the U.S. intervene in African genocides in Rwanda and Darfur?
"Whether I'm starved to death, or Medievalized or brutalized or gassed — it's still an atrocity. If it's a human rights violation, we should go into all those areas, not selected areas," said Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., who chairs a caucus task force on foreign policy. "A lot of my constituents want to know, Why Syria? And I think the administration has to complete the argument."
Another issue is the cost. Poor and minority districts are disproportionately impacted by budget cuts imposed to reduce a national debt racked up in part by the cost of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"On the domestic front, there are some humanitarian crises as well," Clarke said. "When I look at the children in Syria being gassed by their own leader, and I see a 1-year-old child shot in the head in my own district, and the national government not doing anything to end the gun trafficking that led to that tragedy, I feel the same level of pain."
Public opinion polls show African Americans are less likely to favor airstrikes against Syria. A poll concluded Sunday by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press shows a modest difference: 29% of whites and 22% of African Americans favor airstrikes against Syria; 47% of whites and 53% of blacks are opposed, Pew Associate Director Carroll Doherty said.
However, African Americans are also more receptive to the administration message: 51% of black voters said Obama has clearly explained the reasons for the airstrikes, compared with 30% of whites. Doherty said those numbers are consistent with the fact that African-American voters are overwhelmingly Democrats.
"I've gotten 95% of the calls coming into my office saying no," Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., told MSNBC on Thursday. "That's why the president has got to address my constituents. And, by the way, I have a constituency that voted 80% for the president, so it's not like they're not his friends."
Cummings said he's not ready to vote yet. Clarke said she's on "pause" until Monday's briefing. And Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, the chairwoman of the caucus, is not giving interviews about Syria, spokeswoman Belinda Prinz said. "Her reason is that she as not had the opportunity to be fully briefed yet, and she wants to have all the facts."
Fudge has urged her colleagues, too, to get all the facts. An e-mail from the caucus staff to its 43 members Tuesday alerted them to Monday's briefing, but also included an exhortation: "We ask that you limit any public comment on the subject of Syria until after the meeting." Ayofemi Kirby, a spokeswoman for the caucus, said the two-line e-mail was simply an encouragement for members to get all the facts before making up their minds.
One of the most supportive members is Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Ala., a member of the House Intelligence Committee. "We cannot sit idly by and let their reprehensible actions go without punishment," she said in a statement last week. "We must act with clear and strategic action."
STORY:House panel debate shows divide over Syria resolution
Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y. is one of two black members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. On Wednesday, he peppered Secretary of State John Kerry with questions about the lack of international involvement.
He said questions of war are difficult no matter who's president. "I give (Obama) the benefit of the doubt initially, but I'm in a separate branch of government. I have to do my own due diligence also," Meeks told USA TODAY."I did it with President Clinton. I did it with President Bush, and I'll do it with President Obama."

Do you include part names on your PCB?
Do you use text tool to add descriptions to your board instead of using part names?
How do you not export those names to the Gerber file?
I'll email the persons in charge next time to not include Names layers in their silk screen.
BTW, I just checked on EAGLE, there are two things I can change, Name, and value. If you're using EAGLE, you would use both, right, like Name=R1, Value=2K.
I can't find a way to reposition names
If I design a package and choose the appropriate layer for ">name" it will show up in board view in layer tNames. But if I don't include ">name" in my package, the name will NOT show up in the board view at all. Same thing goes with symbol and schematic view. Did I get it right this time?
If I attempt to change it, EAGLE asks me "There is no user-definable value, do you want to change anyway?" Can I indicate somewhere in the library that there IS a user-definable value, like a resistor value? Thanks.

The pre-kindergarten classroom is a hands-on, discovery-based room that supports each child to learn and develop at his or her own pace. The classroom is arranged into centers that allow children to work individually or in groups, pursue their own interests, and develop independence, creativity and self-esteem. In this program, there is an emphasis on encouraging cooperation, creativity, and involvement in their classroom while learning in a fun, interactive environment.
Preschool vs. Pre-kindergarten
You may be asking yourself what the difference is between preschool and pre-kindergarten at Kirkland Children's School. Our pre-kindergarten program continues and strengthens the development of higher-level thinking skills. As children progress through pre-kindergarten the focus becomes school readiness. Children are encouraged to become natural problem solvers. Our program strategically engages the child in new activities such as phonemic awareness and other applicable reading & pre-reading activities, individualized handwriting instruction, exploration of science topics through discussion and classroom activities, and continued focus on mathematical concepts. Our pre-kindergarten program teaches children the skills they will need for kindergarten and beyond.
The Curriculum
Through questions and hands-on activities, the children are able to explore, think, predict, and discover more about the world around them. Our science-based curriculum helps children grown in all area of their development including literacy, gross and fine motor skills, writing skills, vocabulary, math, thinking skills, social studies, art, cooking, music, problem solving, and social skills.
It has been shown that children who are socially competent manage their feelings appropriately, have more consideration for others, cooperation, and even show some success solving problems. We use the Committee for Children's Pre-K Second Step program, which teaches skills in empathy, emotion management, impulse control, emotion regulation, anger management, and social problem-solving.

On March 7, 2005 Brian Greene, a string theorist and author of "The Elegant Universe" and "The Fabric of The Cosmos", gave an interview at a Barnes & Noble in Austin. He was interviewed by Jeff Salomon from Austin-American Statesman and took questions from the audience.
The topics involved: What kind of experiments can possibly verify string theory? How and why would you look for astronomical evidence of strings? Would it make sense to look for confirmation of string theory in the possible violations of the Second Law of Thermodynamics? What is Brian Greene's own interpretation of quantum entanglement? What does it mean that space and time are not fundamental? In what sense is space-time analogous to temperature? What's next for physics after TOE? Will there be anything left to do, or will science come to an end? And, umm... does Brian Greene feel a need to reconcile psychic phenomena with the unified physical theory?
The talk also revealed some things you would not immediately think of Brian Greene. By his own admission, he finds physics hard and visualisation helps him enormously to understand physics concepts. That's one reason why he never condescends to his audience. (Another may be that he is simply a nice person.) Also, did you know that Brian Greene's books can cause people to quit drinking and start reading?
Note: I could not hear everything that was said or write it down verbatim, so I paraphrased some places the best I could. Most of them are in angle brackets.
Panelists: Ted Chiang, Louise Marley, Michael A. Stackpole, W. J. Williams, Janine Ellen Young (moderator)
What it was supposed to be about (synopsis from the program book): When do "scientific" worldview elements move a concept out of fantasy? Systematic magic, planetary bodies, rudimentary experimentation, the cusp of alchemy into chemistry...
What it was really about
First, the panelists admitted they didn't really understand the topic of the panel as stated in the program book. They didn't get much mileage out of "scientific worldview elements moving a concept out of fantasy". After addressing the distinction between technology and magic, and Ted Chiang stating why he believes Clarke's famous adage is incorrect, the panelists quickly became mired in the age-old debate of what is science fiction, and what is fantasy. Oh no, not again, you say! Well, this discussion wasn't quite like beating a dead horse. I heard some interesting insights.
A lot of western fantasy writers prefer magic to be systematic, i.e. to have laws, rules, constraints. An arbitrary magic, where everything is possible or impossible, depending on whether it is convenient for the author, they don't find very interesting. But does systematizing magic move it closer to science? Not necessarily.
Traditionally it's thought that it's the presence or absence of scientific / technological elements -- the so-called furniture -- that causes most people to view a certain story as science fiction or fantasy. But actually, the worldview expressed in a story may be more relevant. (Though apparently there are no universal criteria how to determine the genre a particular story belongs to, because some people in the audience disagreed over which genre certain books belonged to.)

On March 19, 2008 Richard Dawkins, the famous evolutionary biologist and popularizer of science, gave a public lecture at the University of Texas in Austin; it was preceded by a reception hosted by the Center of Inquiry Austin. Though I didn't have a chance to exchange more than a few sentences with Dawkins at the reception, I formed some kind of impression of him as a person. For example, he speaks in perfect phrases and is hip on technology. (Though I bet he would never use the word "hip". :-)) His lecture topics I found familiar, even though I haven't read his books where he expounds on them. I guess I've absorbed his ideas by osmosis. The questions the audience asked revolved around whether atheists should adopt an in-your-face or a conciliatory tone with general public; some of the questions were more unusual. (Would you ask a well-known skeptic to support his reasoning with astrology? :-)) Then someone asked what Dawkins thinks of transhumanist visions. Finally, a concept he wanted us to take away from this lecture, if it was the only thing we would take away: why evolution is NOT equal to random chance.
What armchair "scientists" get out of reading popular science magazines or websites? Mostly they get excited about "out there" speculation that gets batted on wired.com or io9.com. Holographic universe. Preferred direction in the universe.
What a real astrophysicist's answer to "what do you think about this?" is: nothing.
Wil McCarthy, a scientist and science fiction author, was the Guest of Honor at ApolloCon 2009. He gave a talk on the work he's been doing in programmable matter. He started off by showing the audience a piece of clear glass. Then he heated the glass with a hair dryer. An irregularly shaped reflective blob grew on the glass -- the heat turned the glass reflective. This was McCarthy's demonstration of materials he's working on in his startup.
Definitions and discussion of programmable matter can be found elsewhere on the web, and McCarthy did not dwell on the theory, but talked about his work in this area. His practical work in programmable matter developed from his nonfiction book "Hacking Matter", which it turn was born from his fiction. He talked about the events that lead to writing of "Hacking Matter", and how it attracted investors' interest, leading to creation of programmable matter startup. McCarthy talked about his company's journey to discovery of viable commercial applications for these materials, and why he avoids the word "nanotechnology" for marketing this technology to investors. He briefly discussed weapon potential and security issues of programmable matter with the audience. Finally, he talked about balancing his science and writing careers, or rather, impossibility thereof.
Pictures from ApolloCon 2009 are available in my photo gallery.

Science fiction writer and physics professor Gregory Benford was the Guest of Honor at Fencon 2008. On several occasions during convention he shared his thoughts on topics such as American dominance in the world and its role to play in the technological future. Having been in science fiction fandom for four decades, Benford is proud of American science fiction and fandom influence on the world, which he puts in such blunt terms as "We own the future". At the same time he acknowledges that the future is not all rosy, and that science fiction may be the proverbial canary in the coal mine, signaling of darker times to come. Benford's keynote speech on Saturday was the problems facing the world and what can be done about them. Of those, global climate change was the most significant issue. He assured us that whatever is being done to counter it isn't working, because global warming is typically viewed as a moral problem (excessive consumption), when it needs to be seen as an engineering problem. To that end he proposed an unconventional -- or perhaps little known -- approach. At the end of his speech he spent some time on space travel and overpopulation.
Gregory Benford also appeared in the "Science -- fact or crap?" game at Fencon, where two teams of players competed regarding their knowledge of science facts. Read more about it in my blog.

With all due respect to our friends at Sub/Pop, Columbus Discount, HoZac, and I don't know, two dozen other labels who've tried it, we're rolling out a limited edition 7″ subscription series in early 2012. A number of years back, some bright Matador exec came up with the title 'Singles Going Home Alone' for a proposed compilation album of the label's early one-off, long out of print singles (Mark Eitzel, Chain Gang, The Schramms, The Pastels, Fire In The Kitchen, etc.) A few of the artists we approached politely declined (or impolitely told us to fuck off and die) and rather than repair the shattered relationships, we shelved the title. Until once fine day last October when Robby Morris suggested we do a bunch of one off singles AGAIN, only this time we'll try not to alienate all of the participants.
We're planning on 6 singles over the course of 2012, but if we're having fun with this, there's no reason we won't have another batch lined up for 2013. The in the series will be the long-rumored split 7″ between Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks (left) and L.A. Guns (right), with the former covering the latter's "Wheels Of Fire" and Tracii & Co. tackling the latter's "Gorgeous George". We've waited nearly 23 years to tell the world L.A. Guns are Matador Recording Artists, and finally we can say it at parties without lying.
(photo by Zac Sprague)
Edition #2 will be a couple of new songs from Austin, TX's OBN III's whose most recent 'The One & Only' LP (Tic Tac Totally) has made no shortage of 2011 top ten lists. Well, the good ones, anyway. There's a longish interview with frontman/dictator Orville Neeley in the latest issue of Maximum Rocknroll…and if that sentence seem a tad out of place on the Matablog, well, keep in mind we just said we're putting out a record with L.A. Guns. Surprises are relative.
Single #3 will be a new 7″ from NYC's THE MEN, whose amazing 2nd album, 'Leave Home'(Sacred Bones) is (again) one of the current year's finest. It would be the height of hyperbole to claim this record hasn't left our turntable, though it would be completely truthful to say it has on some occasions, rolled across the room and supplanted whatever else we thought about putting on.
We'll reveal the identities behind singles 4, 5 and 6 pretty soon. If you wait until then, however, you run the not-so-small risk there won't be any left.
– what you get: 6 subscription only 7″es every other month in 2012, plus a special secret bonus item, a tote bag and 10% off all year long on the Matador Store (which cannot be combined with other discounts)
JANUARY 17 – Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks / L.A. Guns
MARCH 20 – OBN III's
MAY 22 – The Men
– prices (all inclusive of shipping – each 7″ will be shipped out separately for release date):
$55 Canada
$70 rest of world
Alright. Let the thoroughly off-the-mark speculation about the next 3 singles commence.

I think Williams may be the most underrate player in Everton history. And I genuinely believe that. He's a bad scape goat at the minute. He's been a lot better defensively than Jags and plays with some fire in his belly at least. And yes I know his distribution is shit

15-year I-80 project nears completion
TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) — Motorists will soon find a smoother roadway over the Sierra Nevada on Interstate 80.
A 15-year, $820 million rehabilitation project of the interstate between Auburn, Calif., and the Nevada line is expected to wrap up by Oct. 15.
Caltrans and local officials hailed the project's completion at a ceremony last week at the newly constructed Donner Summit rest area above Truckee.
"We now have a smooth, safe, world-class highway that will benefit our residents, our businesses and millions of tourists who visit California," Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty said.
Before the "Get Across 80" campaign began in 1998, the Sierra portions of I-80 were severely worn, with large ruts due to high traffic volume and the area's severe winters.
In addition to replacing worn pavement, Caltrans and its project partners upgraded drainage systems, rebuilt the Donner Summit and Gold Run rest areas, rebuilt or replaced several bridges and made other improvements.
"We just want to thank the motorists because they were so patient (during the project), they were so understanding," Caltrans spokeswoman Rochelle Jenkins said. "We had detours and truck detours and everyone just understood the need. It was incredible."
The new freeway is expected to have a longer life. Concrete slabs put down in key high-mountain sections are thicker, giving crews extra inches to grind down when the road becomes rutted. And slabs of different lengths are expected to cut down on the damaging up-and-down movement of trucks as they cross from one slab to another, said David Catania, Caltrans construction manager.
An average of 170,000 vehicles travels I-80 over Donner Summit daily, with that number tripling during peak times such as weekends and the ski season, according to Caltrans. In addition, $4.7 million of commerce travels over the summit every hour.
The original road was built between 1957 and 1964. In 1960, I-80 was completed to Truckee due to the 1960 Winter Games at nearby Squaw Valley, with national completion in 1986, Truckee Mayor Carolyn Wallace Dee said.
The highway now stretches 2,900 miles from Teaneck, N.J., to San Francisco, making it the second-longest interstate in the U.S. behind 3,101-mile Interstate 90.
Funding for the project came from the state and federal governments and California voter-approved bonds.

Unfortunately did not taste the sweet potato. Baked up well, comparable to a potato roll.
Jan 9, 2016
They are really good and so easy to make. I was worried about not using bread flour and scared that my bread would over flow, but it was the perfect size and so moist and dense.
Jan 21, 2015
These rolls are so delicious AND easy to make. I did have to add an extra half cup of water when mixing, probably because I cooked my sweet potato too long in the microwave. It dried it out. Some of my rolls turned out small, while others were big. However, they all baked perfectly.
Nov 19, 2014
These are wonderful! As for making them without a bread machine, I would imagine that if you just follow instructions for a standard home made bread recipe, using these ingredients, this would work. "Proof" the yeast in half of the warm water, adding about a teaspoon of the sugar, then set aside for a few minutes until it starts to bubble. Use your mixer and stir together the wet ingredients plus the salt and sugar, adding the yeast mixture, then beat in about 1 - 2 cups of the flour, and beat for 2 - 3 minutes, until it starts to "sheet". Stir in the remainder of the flour by hand and knead until smooth and elastic... 6 - 8 minutes. Grease a large bowl ( or just butter your already messy hands, and grease the ball of dough itself), cover and set in a warm place to rise until double... probably about an hour or so. Punch down, divide into 30 rolls and follow the rest of the instructions in this recipe. I'm sure someone will correct me if I have left something out.Oh, and I did not mash my sweet potato. I just put a sweet potato in the microwave and set the timer for 5 - 6 minutes, depending on the size of the potato. When squishy, pull out and let it set until cool enough to handle, but still warm. Peel the skin off the potato and cut into chunks, adding directly to the bread machine bowl. I did not measure.... just eyeballed it, and the bread machine did the rest. No need to dirty extra dishes to mash it up. I had a bit of sweet potato left, so I refrigerated until the next time I made regular bread, and just added it to that recipe, using my usual measurements. None went to waste, and that loaf of bread was extra moist and had a lovely light orange hue. Just another idea...
Nov 10, 2014
Can this be made without a bread machine?
Sep 25, 2012
Soooo good. Even my son in law and grandchildren, that do not like sweet potatoes, loved these rolls. I didn't tell them the secret ingredient. I will make them again and again! Yumm!
May 5, 2010
These tender, flavorful dinner rolls are so good. My son in law, who dislikes sweet potatoes, could not get enough of them. The grandkids loved them too. This is a keeper for sure.

A violone was an instrument common in the 17th and 18th centuries which evolved into today's double bass. The cello is the tenor voice in the string section. It can play an octave lower than the viola and, as with the other Strings, the cello section sits two to a desk. There are usually between eight and twelve cellos in a symphony orchestra.
Perhaps more than any other instrument the cello sound can create a melancholy mood. Its deep tenor voice can be further enhanced by a broad vibrato which on other instruments might sound ridiculous. With its particularly wide range and powerful sound it can one minute be playing a bass line and the next a melody that is high enough for the rest of the orchestra to move underneath. Another of its useful qualities is its clarity of attack, which enables it to play crisp architectural shapes as well as driving rhythmic patterns and makes the cello a key component of the orchestra's 'engine room'.
The Cello has four strings, tuned in 5ths to C, G, D and A. The lower strings have a richer, darker sound and to exploit this it is quite common for composers to write that a particular phrase should be played on a particular string. Writing Sul C (on the C) or Sul G above the music asks the player to continue playing on the low C or G string when they would otherwise have moved up onto one of the higher strings.
Most cello music will be written in the bass clef and occasionally moves into tenor clef as the music gets higher. When the music is very high the treble clef is used. Players do not like to change clefs too often and so will only want to go into a higher clef if the music is going to stay up high for a while. Changing back again presents similar problems and cello players will often mention that they do not like to read low notes in tenor clef.
Notes that are indicated to be played separately can be played on the string or can allow the bow to bounce off the string. With a large body of string players, all playing repeated quavers together, for instance in the accompaniment of a piece by Haydn, Mozart or Beethoven, the effect of on the string versus off the string can be very different.
Bouncing off the string has more resonance and is probably easier for most orchestras to get together. Playing on the string is, on the contrary, more forceful, but is harder work and also harder to get together.
The style of letting the bow jump off the string was made popular by Mendelssohn in his "Midsummer Night's Dream". It allowed him to explore the character of the scherzo's dancing fairies, which was difficult to express with the normal 'on the string style' of playing. Mendelssohn was one of the first people to make the 'off the string' style of playing popular in serious western classical music. What flowed from that was more use of the bouncy stroke among players, particularly for accompaniment passages.

"Fujitsu has been fundamental to the success of HPC Wales. This is a technical undertaking unlike anything we have ever done in Wales and Fujitsu's experience, commitment and understanding have ensured that we deliver excellent services to researchers and innovators"
Professor Martyn Guest Technical Director, HPC Wales
High Performance Computing (HPC) Wales is Wales' national supercomputing service, benefitting both public and related private sector institutions. As host to the UK's largest national distributed supercomputing network, it provides businesses and researchers with local access to world-class technology and the support to fully exploit it.
This supercomputing infrastructure and service is unique in the UK and recognised as an innovative approach across Europe. With Welsh universities, Government and Fujitsu, it offers the supercomputing power, high level skills training and customised support necessary to help address global challenges such as extreme weather, development of new materials as well as new approaches to medical science. The service is designed to accelerate scientific breakthroughs and answer long-standing questions.
Traditionally universities in Wales, as in most of the world's academic institutions, operated in a standalone fashion, with each responsible for its own computing resources. Such an approach led to significant duplication of effort. The Welsh government and academic bodies, led by the Advanced Research Computing division at Cardiff University, realised that a broader, more inclusive and coherent method would enable it to deploy HPC capability across multiple organisations.
By making HPC available on a nationwide basis, the principle objective was to offer it to local businesses, especially SMEs, in order to support economic growth and academic excellence.
Previous efforts to provide a shared service across universities had failed. "It made us realise that we had to take an inclusive approach that gave every institution an equal share of the responsibility and potential," explains Professor Martyn Guest, Technical Director, HPC Wales. "The guiding idea behind HPC Wales was not to enable academic research for its own sake but to develop a commercial solution that would introduce HPC capability to companies of all sizes across the country."
HPC Wales invited several major technology vendors to propose a computing platform that would enable the delivery of HPC functionality. Fujitsu demonstrated the best understanding of the project objectives while drawing on its extensive HPC experience in its Japanese and European laboratories.
"Fujitsu made a real effort to grasp what we wanted to achieve," adds Guest. "It had the range of competencies and experience that were needed to make the project a success."
The contract was awarded in 2010, since then Fujitsu has collaborated closely with HPC Wales to put the initial distributed infrastructure in place. It follows a hub and spoke model with Cardiff and Swansea universities acting as the main hubs while Glamorgan, Aberystwyth and Bangor universities are the tier one spokes. Glyndwr and Swansea Metropolitan and a number of other installations across Wales constitute the second tier spokes.
Currently, there are 6,000 Intel core processors at each of the hubs; by the time the project is fully deployed there will be 23,000 cores. To complement this enormous computing power, each of the spokes includes 54 BX922 dual-processor nodes. They are all interlinked by a dedicated network delivered via the Public Sector Broadband Aggregation (PSBA), featuring a 10GBit/sec link between the two hub sites, 1GBit/sec links for the tier one sites, and 100MBit/sec links for the tier two sites.
At the heart of the infrastructure is Fujitsu's SynfiniWay middleware. SynfiniWay is used to create the virtualised IT framework for the HPC cloud. It provides a complete integrated set of capabilities: leading workflow technology to orchestrate service execution, a global meta-scheduler for optimising resource utilisation, and robust data movement of large-volume files.
"SynfiniWay is really the crown jewel of this project as it allows any user to access data and processing power via a simple point and click interface," continues Guest. "There is no need for Linux knowledge or a command line interface which makes users more productive from the outset."
Most production is now being driven by academic researchers in collaboration with industry partners. Around forty projects have already been undertaken and this number is set to rise as the project matures. The core focus is on a number of different sectors including Life Sciences, Energy and Environment, Creative, Advanced Materials and Manufacturing and Financial and Professional Services. Companies of any size can now pay to have access to the phenomenal computing power available. There is a range of billing options, allowing customers the flexibility to purchase exactly how much core processing, storage and other services they need.
For Calon Cardio, HPC Wales provided access to the software and the computing power it needed to refine the design of its implantable pumps, speeding up the research process tenfold and enabling it to carry out product trials within a competitive timeframe. Knowtra, an SME delivering oceanographic consultancy to international projects, relies on modern computing to undertake simulations and data processing for clients. HPC Wales has allowed Knowtra to enhance the quality of its simulations considerably.
"Speed of innovation is critical to business growth and profitability but many SMEs don't understand the impact high performance computing can have. These projects are proving the value HPC can add to even the smallest SME," comments Guest. "From simulating nano-particle catalysts to comparative genomics to rheological modelling, HPC is providing a critical new service that will help boost the local economy and keep local businesses at the leading edge of research."
HPC Wales is currently in its second phase, involving the deployment of additional Intel Sandy Bridge cores at Cardiff and Swansea. It is on track to complete the entire installation by 2013 by which time it is expected that over 100 projects will have gone live on the system, 80 per cent of which will be for SMEs.
"Fujitsu has been fundamental to the success of HPC Wales. This is a technical undertaking unlike anything we have ever done in Wales and Fujitsu's experience, commitment and understanding have ensured that, despite some challenges along the way, the process has been successful."
Fujitsu is the leading Japanese information and communication technology (ICT) company offering a full range of technology products, solutions and services. Over 170,000 Fujitsu people support customers in more than 100 countries. We use our experience and the power of ICT to shape the future of society with our customers. Fujitsu Limited (TSE:6702) reported consolidated revenues of 4.5 trillion yen (US$54 billion) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. For more information, please see www.fujitsu.com

IT wish list for SharePoint 2010: Keep it simple
IT pros hope Microsoft focuses on bread-and-butter admin/management instead of feature creep in SharePoint 2010.
As Microsoft gears up the next of its patented product pushes, IT admins and those supporting them have one overarching request when it comes to SharePoint 2010: Make it simple to manage and maintain.
The current SharePoint 2007 and earlier releases are popular and widely deployed. Some experts have said that they can be extremely complicated and hard to manage. So much so that many IT departments just won't support the SharePoint installations running in their own shops. That leads to their SharePoint 2010 wish list, which has on it simply simplicity.
One Boston-area IT professional runs a ton of SharePoint, but not happily. "This software's been around ten years and they keep cramming more stuff into it, so now it's too complicated," he said. "There are some people who get ferocious benefit out of it but there are a lot of other people where it's like the VCR flashing 12:00 all day. They don't know what to do with it so they don't do anything. In my view, SharePoint is great, but only if you don't get fancy with it."
In the past few years, Microsoft folded content management, business intelligence and other features that were once separate offerings into SharePoint Server. That made it a big and flexible -- or unwieldy -- toolset, depending on the user's point of view.
What he'd like to see in the new release is a firming up of existing features and functions rather than a raft of new ones. "They need to work on the workflow and some other things, but I would beg them not to put anything more in."
One IT admin said that even what should be simple tasks are sometimes remarkably convoluted. "Just to do forms authentication, you have to modify security groups to make sure a shared service provider is part of a local security group. Well, damn, that should be very easy. I guess Microsoft might say this encourages partners to develop tools to automate this kind of stuff, but for administrators, it's a hairball."
Richard Warren, CEO of North Carolina Technologies, a VAR that does a lot of Microsoft Project Server and related SharePoint work, agreed.
"At this point, [SharePoint Server's] a considerable house of cards. They have piled on an awful lot of stuff that is not easily administered and made it incredibly complex to do the simplest things," he said.
What's in store for SharePoint 2010
The vendor has heard that kind of feedback in the two and a half years since SharePoint 2007 released, said Christian Finn, SharePoint Director. "When we went from 2003 to 2007, there were lots of new features and functions added. From 2007 to 2010, there will be deeper and broader implementation of what we're already doing…. SharePoint does collaboration, social computing, content management and business intelligence. It will continue to do all those things, but we won't be adding big new workload types."
Microsoft has said little about SharePoint 2010 other than it will be 64-bit only and that it will integrate Microsoft's FAST Search technology. It is unclear whether SharePoint will retain its current search, although most expect it to support both search technologies going forward. The Groove client, renamed SharePoint Workspace will go into a new ProPlus SKU.
The vendor also revved up its positioning of SharePoint Server as a social networking foundation. Finn spoke at the recent Enterprise 2.0 show to emphasize those perks. Facebook is all the rage, but SharePoint's MySites has had that ability for years, he said.
The company is also dumping the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) branding for Microsoft SharePoint Server. And there will be some re-packaging of Windows SharePoint Services as well, although it's unclear exactly what's happening on that front. These basic collaboration services are now sold as part of Windows Server.
Microsoft Technology Adoption Program members have early code of SharePoint 2010 now. A private beta is set for release around the Worldwide Partner Conference in mid-July, with a public beta to follow in the fall. Microsoft has promised broad availability for the first half of 2010.
Joel Hurford, principal of IT consulting firm Mitsis LLC in Dumfries, Va., uses and administers his own SharePoint and sets up for others. He agreed that SharePoint use in many business and government sites is done without tacit IT support. "In the last agency I was in, IT uses SharePoint internally but refuses to let other groups run it until they're funded enough to support it."
Robert Shear, principal of Greystone Solutions Inc., an IT consultant in Boston who uses and works with SharePoint, summed it up: "SharePoint is a wonderful, powerful tool that gets a lot of stuff done. But if users don't restrain themselves, they end up in trouble. It's like going to ADAP Autoparts and saying 'let's buy a car.'"

Abstract: Over the last 25 years the Danish economy has had difficulties in growing as fast as other EU countries and the United States. While the average growth difference is small, it signals that if this trend persists into the next century, Denmark will not be able to maintain its high position in the world income hierarchy. Moreover, during these years, the number of individuals living on transfer incomes have increased dramatically. Although we interpret both tendencies as signals of structural weaknesses, we are also aware that these developments may reflect that other goals in economic policy have been pursued, such as protecting the environment and/or achieving certain redistributive objectives. This paper analyzes this and other broad policy issues of importance for Denmark. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7612

Abstract: Product Market Integration, Comparative Advantages and Labour Market Performance* In a two-country model with trade driven by comparative advantages, it is considered how imperfectly competitive labour markets are affected by lower frictions in international goods trade. Easier goods trading is equivalent to increased mobility of employment across countries and thus a change in the trade-off between wages and employment faced by wage setters. While the effects of product market integration on the trade-off between wages and employment in general is ambiguous, it is shown that product market integration works like a general improvement in productivity via the specialization it allows through trade. Unambiguously, real wages and employment and welfare improve upon reductions in trade frictions, and therefore workers are better off irrespective of whether the market power of unions is enhanced or muted.

Abstract: In this paper, we set up a two-country general equilibrium model where trade unions have wage bargaining power. We show that a decrease in trade distortions inducing further product market integration gives rise to specialization gains as well as a labour market reform effect. The implications of the specialization gains are similar to an increase in labour productivity, whereas the labour market reform effect is similar to an increase in the degree of competition in the labour market. Wages, employment and welfare increase as a result of further product market integration. It is interesting to note that the labour market reform effect of product market integration is achieved despite an increase in the wage level. JEL Classification: F15, J30, J50.

Diarrhea is the sudden increase in the frequency and looseness of stools. Mild diarrhea is the passage of a few loose or mushy stools. Severe diarrhea is the passage of many watery stools. The best indicator of the severity of the diarrhea is its frequency.
The main complication of diarrhea is dehydration from the loss of too much body fluid. Symptoms of dehydration are a dry mouth, the absence of tears, infrequent urination (for example, none in 12 hours), and a darker, concentrated urine. The main goal of diarrhea treatment is to prevent dehydration.
Diarrhea is usually caused by a viral infection of the lining of the intestines (gastroenteritis). Sometimes it is caused by bacteria or parasites. Occasionally a food allergy or drinking too much fruit juice may cause diarrhea. If your child has just one or two loose stools, the cause is probably something unusual your child ate. A diet of nothing but clear fluids (such as Pedialyte) for more than 2 days may cause green, watery stools (called "starvation stools").
Diarrhea from a viral infection usually lasts several days to 2 weeks, regardless of the type of treatment. The main goal of treatment is to prevent dehydration. Your child needs to drink enough fluids to replace the fluids lost in the diarrhea. Don't expect a quick return to solid stools.
Increased fluids and dietary changes are the main treatment for diarrhea.
Note: One loose stool can mean nothing. Don't start dietary changes until your child has had several loose stools.
Frequent, watery diarrhea
Encourage your child to drink lots of fluids to prevent dehydration. Milk and water are both fine. However, if your child refuses solids, give your child just milk, rather than water.
Most toddlers don't need oral glucose-electrolyte solutions such as Pedialyte unless the child is dehydrated. Avoid fruit juices, because they all make diarrhea worse.
Keep giving your child table foods while he has diarrhea. The choice of food is important. Starchy foods are digested best. Examples of such foods are dried cereals, grains, bread, crackers, rice, pasta, and mashed potatoes. Pretzels or saltine crackers can help meet your child's need for sodium. Soft-boiled eggs and yogurt are easily digested and provide some protein.
Mild diarrhea (loose stools)
Follow a regular diet with a few simple changes:
There is no effective, safe drug for diarrhea. Extra fluids and diet therapy work best.
Probiotics contain healthy bacteria (lactobacilli) that can replace unhealthy bacteria in the GI tract.
Yogurt is the easiest source of probiotics. Give your child 2 to 6 ounces (60 to 180 ml) of yogurt twice daily. Today almost all yogurts are "active culture", which means that they contain live and active bacteria.
Probiotic supplements in liquid, granules, tablets, or capsules are also available in health food stores. These can be more helpful than yogurt.
Kool-Aid and soda pop, should be avoided because they contain no salt and too much sugar. Use only the fluids suggested above.
Fruit juices (especially apple and grape) should be avoided because they are too concentrated and make the diarrhea worse.
Clear fluids alone should be used for only 4 to 6 hours because the body needs more calories than clear fluids can provide. Milk is a good well balanced fluid for diarrhea.
The most dangerous myth is that the intestine should be "put to rest." Restricting fluids can cause dehydration.
Diarrhea can be very contagious. Always wash your hands after changing diapers or using the toilet. This is crucial for keeping everyone in the family from getting diarrhea.
The skin near your child's anus can become irritated by the diarrhea. Wash the area near the anus after each stool and then protect it with a thick layer of petroleum jelly or other ointment. This protection is especially needed during the night and during naps. Changing the diaper quickly after stools also helps.
For children in diapers, diarrhea can be a mess. Place a cotton washcloth inside the diaper to trap some of the more watery stool. Use diapers with snug leg bands or cover the diapers with a pair of plastic pants. Wash your child under running water in the bathtub.
If your child has vomited more than twice, follow your doctor's recommended treatment for vomiting instead of this treatment for diarrhea until your child has gone 8 hours without vomiting.

Accelerated Technology Adds Configurable Nucleus RTOS and Middleware Support for Altera's Nios II Processors
MOBILE, Ala., Aug. 16, 2005 - Accelerated Technology™, a Mentor Graphics division (Nasdaq: MENT), today announced the release of a configurable version of the Nucleus® Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) with its corresponding middleware package for the Nios® II family of embedded processors from Altera Corporation. Embedded developers using the Nios II processors can now configure their software to better manage and build multi-core applications such as wireless broadband and Wi-Fi, cellular infrastructure, wire line, industrial control, automotive and medical.
"The addition of Accelerated Technology's configurable RTOS to the Nios II processor's growing ecosystem gives embedded developers even more flexibility in designing their systems," said Chris Balough director of software and Nios marketing at Altera. "The ability to easily reconfigure the FPGA gives embedded developers the ability to focus on their core competency and get their application to market quickly."
A major new feature of the Nucleus RTOS is the software's ability to automatically configure itself using Altera's Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and adjust to any hardware changes using Altera's SOPC Builder system-level development tool. Using the HAL developers can move hardware components in the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) without having to hand-code the addition, deletion or address changes into the Nucleus code. This increases the availability of the Nucleus software when the hardware core changes. Instead of spending hours modifying the target software to work with the new hardware configuration, a developer can configure the software automatically in minutes. This is especially valuable during the earlier design phases when the hardware may be changing frequently.
"Configurable hardware is often perceived as a problem for software engineers," said Robert Day, director of marketing, Accelerated Technology Division, Mentor Graphics. "With the close link between the Nios II processor's development platform and the Nucleus RTOS and middleware, the configuration takes place automatically, thus relieving those potential hardware/software issues."
Other Nucleus software components available to Nios II processor developers include APIs for C++, micro-ITRON and POSIX, a command line interface, the Nucleus NET networking stack, including encryption software and SSL technology, the Nucleus FILE file management system, embedded Web server and extended protocol package.
Pricing and Availability
The Nucleus embedded software is sold with source code and without royalty fees. Licenses for the Nucleus software begin at $12,495. For more information, please contact Accelerated Technology at 800-468-6853 or email@example.com.

a pair of new shoes and a punk rock show to see
Outfit Details: chambray shirt – c/o Madewell mustard sweater – thrifted
toffee ikat jeans – c/o 7 For All Mankind
Gemma heels – c/o Cynthia Vincentbag – c/o Rebecca Minkoff (from last summer)bracelets – Forever 21rings – vintage (gift from mom) and Simple Twist on Etsynails – China Glaze Aquadeliclipstick – MAC Russian Red umbrella – cheap piece of crap
Well gee, I wonder why I've had a hard time kicking that sickness. I mean, I only wore open toed shoes in the rain and then went out to a show the same night (I wore a more sensible outfit for that, at least).
I want you to know that it was difficult for me to refrain from the obvious pun when titling this post. And if the pun isn't obvious enough, it was "It's raining ikats and dogs." I love a good pun, but I love The Shape of Punk to Come even more. How the two can coexist in one's world is beyond me. I'm a weird girl. But it keeps people on their toes, it does.

Coming in two heights our unusual and attractive architect desk is designed with many practical features including extended side flaps vertical folder slots for paper and notebooks storage and subtle yet highly functional drawers to store pens pencils rulers etc… Adjustable desktop tilts to three angles. Most exciting its adjustable work surface contributes to completely new work experience.
Architects were once skilled draftsmen and graceful calligraphers able to draw a crisp and perfect line on virgin drafting stock. They worked at a classic architect's desk crafted of precious woods with an adjustable work surface tilted to an individualized angle. Usually, they would stand lounge and lean on the tall desk discarding the chair or replacing it with a tall narrow stool.
In our day and age, we have done away with the standing desk. We hammer away at keyboards for days on end slumped in a desk chair. Actually, a recent scientific study showed that working at a standing desk all day equals the exercise provided by a robust morning workout.

Uncover the mysteries of the Aegean Sea – from tiny islands to iconic Santorini – on this 8-day adventure cruise through the Greek Islands. Aboard the old-world charm of the M/S Galileo, discover hidden coves and historical archaeological sites, picture-perfect towns and the finest Greek cuisine. Beginning in Athens, cruise to the incredible beaches of Poliegos, soak up the view of Folegandros from a traditional Greek tavern, and see the sun set across the dramatic caldera of Santorini. Visit quaint villages on Paros, swim in the beautiful bays of Mykonos, and encounter Greek mythology at the temple of Poseidon near Kythnos. Travelling on the paths of the Mediterranean Sea, relax in the indoor lounge and elegant dining room on the ship's main deck, and take in sea views and fresh air from the sundeck and shady outdoor bar. This is the ultimate way to explore the Greek islands.

Why you'll love this trip
You'll see the Greek Islands' classic highlights – like Mykonos and Santorini – but this trip also visits a few out-of-the-way ports that big cruise ships can't reach.
Unlike mega liners, which have to moor offshore, The Galileo can dock right in the centre of town. In places like Syros, you take one step off the gangplank and you're surrounded by bars, markets and restaurants. You can hop on and off the boat as you please.
Diving into the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea is a real treat. Our captain will drop anchor in a few secluded bays along the journey, so there'll be plenty of opportunities for a swim.
Your ship, the M/S Galileo, has been recently refurbished. The interiors are warm and comfortable, and there are three spacious outdoor decks – perfect for reading or catching some sun.
For the budding archaeologists, this cruise includes a day trip to the historic island of Delos, including a guided tour from a resident expert.
Is this trip right for you?
This trip is operated by our partners at Variety Cruises and is best suited to independent travellers who want flexibility from their itinerary. On Variety Cruises, all shore excursions are optional, so you don't have to pay for an activity you're not interested in. Trips operated by Variety begin at port, do not include tips and require solo travellers to pay a mandatory single supplement.
This is small ship Adventure Cruising, which means you'll be sailing on a yacht with between 30–50 other people. The boat is spacious and comfortable, but it focuses more on the destination than on-board activities. Instead of a pool, we have the sea itself. Instead of a casino, we've got board games and a good book. There's also no formal dress code to worry about. Wi-fi is available for a small charge.
Our ship moves under engine power, rather than sailing, so all cabins will experience light engine noise when the ship is moving (and occasionally when we drop anchor). It's probably worth packing earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
Unlike other ships that cruise through the night, we'll spend our evenings docked at port. This will give you more time to dine ashore and enjoy those balmy Grecian evenings. Cruising will mostly take place during the day.
Onshore activities and excursions will involve a bit of walking. You'll be visiting ancient sites and historical places, and at times you may have to cross cobbled streets and uneven ground, sometimes in hot conditions. If you have any concerns, please speak to your group leader before taking part.
If you're concerned about seasickness, there are seasickness tablets on-board. The ship will experience some roll and pitch in choppy conditions, however all of our ships come equipped with stabilisers to minimise movement. Most of our departures run in peak season, when the seas are calmer. Your crew will do all they can to minimise any discomfort.
There are no lifts (elevators) on-board our ships, so you'll have to navigate a few steep flights of stairs on-board. Handrails are always available.
You won't find another cruise ship quite like the Galileo. The old-world charm of this classic steel Motor Sailer is unmatched in the Mediterranean
