With this analysis we are able to process the large data sets of North Sea bathymetry to extract sand wave characteristics. In the detection of crest and trough points, lower‐resolution data provide less accurate sand wave extremes and thus underestimate sand wave heights. If we use the extrapolated crest and trough points as overestimated maximum uncertainty for crests and troughs (Figure 4 ), the maximum uncertainty due to low‐resolution data can be estimated. The uncertainty was determined for five locations of 10 by 10km spread around the NCS, and for data sets with a resolution of 25m by 25m this gives uncertainties of 0–0.60m in sand wave heights. Steep sand waves give larger uncertainties, and trochoidal sand waves have larger uncertainties at the crests compared to the troughs. Alternatively, sand wavelength is determined as the horizontal distance between two trough points, which is a discrete number of cells. The sand wavelength therefore has an uncertainty of plus or minus the cell size.Figure 4
In the analysis of sand wavelengths a bias occurs where longer sand waves result in fewer values per square kilometer relative to the shorter sand waves, which leads to a decreased contribution of long sand waves to correlations with processes. In addition, the environmental parameters are available up to a resolution of 1km
. Therefore, the sand wave properties are aggregated per square kilometer. Figure
illustrates how sand wave characteristics vary even over small areas (see also Dorst et al.,
Cheap Sale Outlet Locations Essentials Logo Graphic Tee TOPWEAR Tshirts adidas Fast Delivery For Sale uQw4dtP5
). For the aggregation of points per block, the sand wave asymmetry and length are averaged. Sand wave heights are aggregated using a significant sand wave height (mean of 1/3 highest values), which was shown to better match theoretical relations than the mean bedform height (see Bokuniewicz et al., Mens L210 Vest Pack Of 2 Athéna Free Shipping Browse View Online yrqnoc0z

These observations suggest that HIV did not enter the cells and integrate into the host's genome. Together, all the evidence suggests that HIV-1 did not productively infect genital epithelial cell line Ect1. The restriction is likely at the level of viral entry, presumably as a result of the absence of CD4 on Ect1 cells. Our observation is consistent with general notions that genital epithelial cells are refractory to cell-free HIV infection. In vivo studies in nonhuman primate models have shown that atraumatic inoculation of cell-free SIV onto the vagina or penis led to a productive infection of associated immune cells, but not of epithelial cells [ 22 , 23 ]
An interesting finding in the present study is that the epithelial cells were capable of sequestering significant amounts of virus particles and that the virus remained infectious even after treatment with trypsin. It appeared that Ect1 cells retained virus for a prolonged period. We estimated that only a small percentage of virus was released into the culture medium. The ability to sequester virus appeared not to be related to cell size, because HeLa CD4 − and Ect1 cells are of similar sizes and their membrane-associated proteins do not differ greatly. It is likely that this ability is associated with the content of specific viral-binding proteins on the cells. Our observation is consistent with a recent study by Dezzutti et al. [ 24 ], which showed that human primary urogenital epithelial cells could not be infected with cell-free HIV but are capable of sequestering virus and transmitting the virus to PBMCs in coculture. This phenomenon is reminiscent of dendritic cells' (DCs) sequestering and presenting HIV-1 to CD4-expressing susceptible targets via DC-SIGN [ 25 ], a C-type lectin that is highly expressed in DCs. Nonspecific sequestering of HIV by DCs is believed to play an important role in HIV transmission
In the case of Ect1 cells, our evidence indicates that heparan sulfate moieties of proteoglycans on the Ect1 cell membrane mediate the viral attachment. Epithelial cells are known to carry large amounts of HSPG [ 19 , 20 ], and the Ect1 cell line has a high level of heparan sulfate on its surface (Z.W., unpublished data). Cell-surface heparan sulfate has been shown to mediate HIV-1 attachment by interacting with viral gp120 [ 19 , 21 ], and heparan sulfate or heparin can inhibit virus infection by interfering with gp120 binding to CD4 cells [ 19 , 21 ]. However, it is not clear whether, in addition to heparan sulfate, other cell surface molecules, such as DC-SIGN, were involved in the initial viral attachment to Ect1 cells. The resistance of the sequestered virus to treatment with trypsin and the observation that the Ect1 cell–associated virus remained infectious for up to 9 days (data not shown) longer than in DCs [ 25 ] suggest that the virus is protected by cellular structures. Membrane microvilli of epithelial cells may shield the virus, or the virus could be enveloped by vesicles of the epithelial cells. The cellular mechanisms of viral protection, by epithelial cells, require further investigation

The Bipartisan Policy Center's Healthy Congress Index provides Americans with crucial metrics for evaluating Congress's ability to effectively legislate and govern. It compares results against past Congresses and will be updated on a quarterly basis. The index represents a new, long-term effort to bring accountability to Congress and answer the question: how is Congress governing? The period covered by this installment is January 2017 through March 2018 and the numbers presented here are cumulative.
New to the index, two additional elements will further examine how well the current Congress is functioning relative to those in the past. We will track 1) programs receiving appropriations after authorizations have expired and 2) progress on the budget and appropriations processes.

Healthy Congress Index Field:
Data Focus: This measure shows how often Congress is in Washington conducting legislative business. The Commission on Political Reform recommended that Congress adopt a five-day workweek with three weeks spent in Washington and one week spent in district or state work periods each month.
Data Findings: By BPC's standard, each chamber should have worked at least 210 days between January 2017 and the end of March 2018.
In that period, the House was at work in the Capitol for just 171 days, which is about the same as in recent years and well below the number of days it would have worked if it adhered to BPC's recommended schedule. The low number of working days is consistent with recent practice in the House, however.
Since January 2017, the Senate worked 196 days in Washington, a slight improvement over the number of days in the 112th-114th congresses, but still well below BPC's recommendation and the number of days worked in the 104th and 110th.
Data Focus: This measure shows whether bills are developed through the traditional committee process, which allows for more input from rank-and-file members, rather than a process primarily controlled by party leaders.
Data Findings: Committees in both the House and Senate have been very active in reporting bills. House committees reported 487 bills in the 115th Congress, the highest among any years in the index. Senate committees reported 296 bills, the third-highest among the index's comparative years, and much higher than the lull seen during the 112th and 113th Congresses.

Athletics 12, Giants 5
Tim Lincecum's long locks are gone and apparently so is his
nasty stuff.
The San Francisco Giants' two-time Cy Young Award winner
struggled again on Saturday in his fourth start of the spring. The
right-hander gave up five runs and six hits in three-plus innings,
including a long homer to Yoenis Cespedes, as the Oakland Athletics
defeated the Giants 12-5.
Lincecum is 0-2 with a 10.97 ERA. He expects to make one more
start before he slides into the rotation at No. 3, behind
right-hander Matt Cain and lefty Madison Bumgarner. But a few more
outings like Saturday's might have Giants manager Bruce Bochy
pondering whether to move Lincecum to the bullpen, where he
excelled in the postseason last year after a rocky regular
"I had some good moments and some bad ones," said Lincecum,
who threw 80 pitches. "I still need to try to get my pitch count
up. But I am not finishing guys off. I had a good fastball, but it
all goes back to location.
"It's all a matter of repeating my mechanics."
He said he is physically ahead of where he was a year ago, when
he came into camp not in the same condition that he had been in
previous springs. He went on to finish 10-15 with a 5.18 ERA.
Lincecum struck out five and walked three. He walked Coco Crisp
leading off the game and fanned the next two batters before
Cespedes unloaded on an 0-1 pitch, sending it into the trees atop
the grass berm in left field. Lincecum said it was a spinning
slider that didn't break.
Cespedes had three hits on the day, as did Eric Sogard and Seth
The A's continued to tag the Giants pitchers who followed
Lincecum to the mound. Oakland finished with 17 hits and six
Sogard is making a bid for an opening-day infield spot with
perhaps an outside shot to start. His three hits included a solo
homer off Shane Loux with one out in the fifth. Sogard, who also
walked, is 21 for 39 (.538) this spring.
"We need to try to cryogenically freeze him," manager Bob
Melvin said.
Sogard, who has had a utility role in recent seasons, again came
into camp in the middle of the mix, according to Melvin. But the
way Sogard has been hitting, "he has come out of the pack a
little," the manager said.
Adam Rosales also homered for Oakland. The Giants had a pair of
home runs, including Brandon Belt's seventh of the spring and Cole
Gillespie's first. Belt has eight RBIs in his past five games.
Melvin was encouraged by Tommy Milone's start. The left-hander,
who won 13 games as a rookie in 2012, gave up three runs and six
hits in 5 1-3 innings. He walked one and struck out four to earn
his second win of the spring.
"He threw much better than he has, pitched his type of game,"
Melvin said.
NOTES: Oakland claimed 1B Nate Freiman off waivers from Houston.
Freiman, who hit .298 with 24 home runs and 105 RBIs for the San
Diego Padres' Double-A affiliate in San Antonio, was selected by
Houston in the Rule 5 draft at the winter meetings. He must spend
the entire regular season on the A's active roster or be exposed to
waivers and offered back to the Padres. … OF Josh Reddick is
expected to return to the Oakland lineup Sunday after leaving
Friday night's game with a sprained left ankle. … Giants C Buster
Posey had a tough day defensively with a pair of passed balls. …
Giants closer Sergio Romo pitched a scoreless seventh. … The
crowd of 12,224 at Scottsdale Stadium was the Giants' largest at
home this spring.

Rian Johnson is set to take the reins of the "Star Wars" franchise. The "Looper" filmmaker will write and direct "Star Wars: Episode VIII" and pen a treatment for "Episode IX," a representative for Johnson confirmed to Hero Complex.
Johnson takes over for J.J. Abrams, who is currently helming "Episode VII" from a script he wrote with Lawrence Kasdan.
A representative for Disney, which owns Lucasfilm, declined to comment on the news of Johnson's hiring.
Johnson's previous films include the high-school noir "Brick" and the caper comedy "The Brothers Bloom," and he's best known for the mind-bending time-travel thriller "Looper," starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis. The 2012 movie grossed $176 million at the worldwide box office.
Johnson, 40, is the latest genre-savvy young filmmaker to join the "Star Wars" universe: "Godzilla" director Gareth Edwards and "Chronicle" director Josh Trank have also been enlisted to direct two "Star Wars" standalone movies.
Abrams' "Episode VII," which hits theaters Dec. 18, 2015, is the first installment of a planned trilogy set 30 years after "Return of the Jedi." The cast includes "Star Wars" veterans Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker, as well as franchise newcomers John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson and Max von Sydow.
On Johnson's Twitter account Friday, he posted a cheeky YouTube video clip from "The Right Stuff" in which Scott Glenn, playing astronaut Alan Shepard, prepares for launch and says, "Dear lord, please don't let me … up."

Sugar traders are the most bullish since October on speculation that the slump in prices to the lowest in 2 1/2 years will spur Brazilian millers to make more biofuel and less of the raw sweetener from cane.
Ten analysts surveyed by Bloomberg this week expect prices to rise next week, while five forecast declines and one was neutral, making the proportion of bulls the highest since Oct. 26. The improving outlook is after sugar fell to 17.67 cents a pound on Feb. 15, the lowest since August 2010. Brazilian ethanol on Feb. 19 traded at the highest premium to sugar since April 2011, according to Kingsman SA, a Swiss research company.
Speculation that sugar will be in surplus for a third year has kept the sweetener in a bear market since September. The drop in prices makes it more profitable for millers in Brazil, the biggest producer, to use more cane to make ethanol instead of raw sugar when harvesting starts in April. More biofuel would curb sweetener supply at a time when Brazilian ports are becoming more congested and may slow supplies for export.
"Millers are likely to make more ethanol when the harvest starts," said Marcos Mine, a risk manager at Usina Alta Mogiana S/A, a miller in Sao Joaquim da Barra, Brazil. The company will turn 40% of its cane into ethanol this year, up from 32% last year, he said. "Near 18 cents a pound, we have already seen that demand starts to emerge."
Sugar Price
Raw sugar fell 6.8% to 18.19 cents on the ICE Futures U.S. exchange in New York this year, extending two years of declines. The Standard & Poor's GSCI index of 24 commodities added 1.7% since the start of January and the MSCI All- Country World Index of equities rose 3.7%. Treasuries lost 0.8%, a Bank of America Corp. index shows.
Hydrous ethanol, used to power Brazil's flex-fuel cars, was at 20.32 cents a pound in sugar equivalent-terms on Feb. 20, Patricia Luis-Manso, ethanol analyst at Lausanne, Switzerland- based Kingsman, said by phone yesterday. That's 12% higher than raw sugar futures traded on ICE.
The ethanol premium to raw sugar was 2.1 cents a pound on Feb. 19, the highest since April 26, 2011, said Alessandra Rosete, an analyst at Kingsman in Santos, Brazil. On Feb. 20, it fell to 1.97 cents a pound, she said.
Hydrous ethanol rose 10% in Brazil this year, Luis-Manso said. Prices gained as demand increased because of a jump in gasoline prices in Latin America's largest economy, Christoph Berg, managing director at Ratzeburg, Germany-based F.O. Licht GmbH, said by phone yesterday.
Port Congestion
The amount of sugar waiting to be loaded at the main ports in Brazil was 1.48 million metric tons as of Feb. 20, according to Recife, Brazil-based shipping agency Williams Servicos Maritimos Ltda. That compares with 1.4 million tons a week earlier and 396,620 tons on Feb. 15 last year, the data showed. Ports are becoming more congested with grains, which may slow supplies for export when the cane harvest starts.
As many as 174 vessels were scheduled to load 9.9 million tons of grains and oilseeds at Brazil's ports as of Feb. 20, according to shipping agency Unimar Agenciamentos Maritimos Ltda. and consultancy SA Commodities in Santos. That compares with 84 ships carrying 3.87 million tons a year earlier, the data showed.
Lower prices mean farmers in some countries such as India and Ukraine may produce less sugar and seek better returns in other crops, Kingsman said in a report e-mailed Feb. 1. The company said the global glut will fall 51% in the 2013- 2014 season starting Oct. 1.
Global Supply
Output in Brazil's center south, the country's biggest growing region, will still climb to a record next season, according to Kingsman. And when the harvest starts, ethanol prices will probably fall, said Kingsman's Luis-Manso.
"Ethanol being above sugar is for specific reasons, but prices will fall when crushing starts," she said. That's because the cane at the early part of the harvest usually contains less sucrose so millers make more ethanol.
Global supply will top demand by 6.6 million tons in 2012- 2013, boosting stockpiles to 66.02 million tons, the most in five years, Rabobank estimated in a report e-mailed Feb. 14.
Weather in the past two weeks was favorable for cane fields in Brazil's biggest growing region, Marco Antonio dos Santos, an agronomist at Sao Paulo-based weather forecaster Somar Meteorologia, said in a report e-mailed Feb. 20. Soil moisture levels are creating "excellent conditions" for growth and sugar concentration in the plant, he said.
Money managers held a net-short position of 25,301 futures and options on raw sugar traded on ICE as of Feb. 12, the most since September 2007, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show. That's the fourth straight week that they've bet on a price drop and compares with a net-long position of 143,577 contracts on Feb. 28 last year.
Average Price
While sugar slid 50% from a 30-year high of 36.08 cents set in February 2011, current prices are about 11% below the average over the past five years. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said in a Feb. 19 report that it expects the commodity to trade at 18.50 cents in three months and rise to 19 cents in a year's time.
The premium for white, or refined, sugar over the raw variety rose to the highest since October on Feb. 18, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. White sugar traded in London is down 3.6% at $505 a ton this year, less than raw sugar's decline. That may indicate buyers are taking advantage of low prices, said Nick Penney, a senior trader at Sucden Financial Ltd. in London.
Grain Surveys
In other commodities, 15 of 29 people surveyed anticipate higher corn prices next week and nine said the grain will fall, while 14 of 28 said soybeans will rise and 11 expect lower prices. Fourteen of 28 traders predicted higher wheat prices and 10 were bearish. Corn lost 1.3% to $6.8925 a bushel this year as soybeans gained 4.8% to $14.7775 a bushel in Chicago. Wheat is down 6.2% at $7.30 a bushel.
Twelve of those surveyed said copper will climb next week, 11 predicted a drop and two were neutral. The metal for delivery in three months, the London Metal Exchange's benchmark contract, slipped 1.6% to $7,806 a ton this year.
Sixteen of 31 traders surveyed said gold would fall next week and nine were bullish. Bullion slid 6 percent to $1,574.75 an ounce in London this year, reaching a seven-month low of $1,555.55 yesterday.
The metal rallied the past 12 years, the best run in at least nine decades, as nations from the U.S. to Japan pledged more stimulus to boost economic growth. While the Federal Reserve said Jan. 30 it would continue buying $85 billion in monthly bond purchases, minutes of that meeting released Feb. 20 showed policy makers were divided about the program.
Commodity Prices
The S&P GSCI raw-materials gauge slid to a four-week low yesterday and is down 2.7% this week. The measure had reached the highest since September on Feb. 13 and global equities set a four-year high two days ago on mounting confidence that the global economy is improving. The dollar rose to a five-month high against six major counterparts today, making commodities priced in the greenback more expensive in terms of other currencies.
"The Fed minutes definitely had a significant impact on commodity markets," said Filip Petersson, a commodities strategist at SEB AB in Stockholm. "This is actually the first real test of the optimistic sentiment that has dominated markets since the beginning of the year."

Bugaboo Cameleon Vs. Bugaboo Frog – What's the difference?
April 27th, 2010
The Bugaboo CameleonBugaboo Frog
The Cameleon has these added features:
- The Stroller Seat is 2 inches longer
- The Handlebar is adjustable
- The underseat bag is larger
- The front wheels have spring-loaded shocks
- The color options
So, after reading through the list of Cameleon extras, what should you do? Well, that depends on you. If you are tall and want to make sure your feet don't constantly hit the stroller when you walk, the handlebar extension is a great feature. If you plan to use the stroller until your child grows out of it, the extra 2 inches in length on the stroller seat will ensure longer use. If you have a girl and want pink, then have a boy for your second child and need to switch your stroller to blue, a $99 Tailored Fabric Set
You can't go wrong with either stroller. They are both excellent products that will last longer than you need them to. Our Cameleon is 5 years old, and is just as functional and great looking for our second child as it was when we bought it. If you need more guidance or assistance with your purchase, please let us know.Tweet This Post

High school students interested in communication-related careers should become involved in school media. These media include newspapers, yearbooks, magazines, radio, video or television production and programs. The committed student can gain valuable experience through volunteer efforts with community groups, such as chambers of commerce, tourism offices and other non-profit organizations.
Admission to BU's mass communications program is the chair's approval and is limited to approximately 60 students who achieve a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher. Acceptance into the program depends, however, not only on the GPA but also on past experience and potential. Students should exhibit strong writing, visual and creative qualities, and a record of interest and participation in media-related extracurricular activities. Students are encouraged to make a case for their admission in the light of previous experience, even if they feel their GPAs alone may not justify admission. Students will be notified of their acceptance as mass communications majors as quickly as possible. Students are expected to have declared their majors no later than the time they have accumulated approximately 60 semester hours.
To earn a bachelor's degree, students must complete the necessary semester hours in three competency areas: writing, professional skills and theoretical foundations. All majors take foundation courses in mass communications and the popular arts, newswriting, medial law and ethics, and either social foundations of mass media or research methods in mass communications.

Voting for the Amber Valley borough council seat in Swanwick – delayed after the sudden death of a candidate – will now take place later this month.
Residents had been due to go to polls on Thursday, May 22, when other voters in the third of wards up for election on Amber Valley were being contested and on the same day as the rest of the country was choosing its MEPs in the European elections.
But the death of Conservative candidate Patrica Watson meant the Swanwick election was put on hold.
The Tories now have another candidate. He is David Wilson, from Alfreton.
The other candidates are: Joel Hunt (LibDem), Allen King (UKIP), George Soudah (Ind) and Antony Tester (Lab).
Voting is on Thursday, June 26, from 7am until 10pm.
Polling Stations will be at The Old School House, 22 The Green, Swanwick (two stations) and Swanwick School & Sports College, Hayes Lane, Swanwick.
The count will be held in theRipley Town Hall at the close of poll.
On May 22 Labour took control of the borough council after 14 years of Tory rule by a narrow victory of 23 to 21 seats.

A pervert who groped two teenage girls and a young woman in Ilkeston has sparked a manhunt — and led police to warn women to be on their guard.
The latest victim was a 17-year-old girl, who was touched 'inappropriately' between 8.10 am and 8.30am on Bath Street on Monday morning (March 24).
Investigating officers have issued a public alert and an appeal after similar offences in the town in recent weeks — one where a 21-year-old woman was targeted and another where a 15-year-old girl was groped.
The man officers are searching for is described as white, in his teens to early 20s, and with facial hair or stubble.
Sgt James Shinfield, leading the investigation, said: "These incidents are very unusual for the area and we want to hear from anyone who might have witnessed any or know the person responsible."
He added: "Ilkeston is still a very safe place but we would urge women, particularly teenagers and young women, to be on their guard and if you see anything that doesn't quite sit right, call the police."
Police want anyone who saw the incident on Monday or has any information to come forward. The 17-year-old victim spotted a man following her as she walked towards Pimlico and after he touched her he ran off.
In the previous offences, the 21-year-old woman was walking along Millership Way at 8.30am on February 19 when she was attacked.
On Monday, March 3 at 4pm, the pervert's youngest victim was walking along a footpath off Far Dales Road when she was groped by a man matching a similar description.
Call police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Have you seen Steven Brill's amazing piece in Time about the insane expenses of the US healthcare system? Excerpt:
When we debate health care policy, we seem to jump right to the issue of who should pay the bills, blowing past what should be the first question: Why exactly are the bills so high?
What are the reasons, good or bad, that cancer means a half-million- or million-dollar tab? Why should a trip to the emergency room for chest pains that turn out to be indigestion bring a bill that can exceed the cost of a semester of college? What makes a single dose of even the most wonderful wonder drug cost thousands of dollars? Why does simple lab work done during a few days in a hospital cost more than a car? And what is so different about the medical ecosystem that causes technology advances to drive bills up instead of down?
Recchi's bill and six others examined line by line for this article offer a closeup window into what happens when powerless buyers — whether they are people like Recchi or big health-insurance companies — meet sellers in what is the ultimate seller's market.
The result is a uniquely American gold rush for those who provide everything from wonder drugs to canes to high-tech implants to CT scans to hospital bill-coding and collection services. In hundreds of small and midsize cities across the country — from Stamford, Conn., to Marlton, N.J., to Oklahoma City — the American health care market has transformed tax-exempt "nonprofit" hospitals into the towns' most profitable businesses and largest employers, often presided over by the regions' most richly compensated executives. And in our largest cities, the system offers lavish paychecks even to midlevel hospital managers, like the 14 administrators at New York City's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center who are paid over $500,000 a year, including six who make over $1 million.
Taken as a whole, these powerful institutions and the bills they churn out dominate the nation's economy and put demands on taxpayers to a degree unequaled anywhere else on earth. In the U.S., people spend almost 20% of the gross domestic product on health care, compared with about half that in most developed countries. Yet in every measurable way, the results our health care system produces are no better and often worse than the outcomes in those countries.
Look at this:
We spend more every year on artificial knees and hips than what Hollywood collects at the box office. We spend two or three times that much on durable medical devices like canes and wheelchairs, in part because a heavily lobbied Congress forces Medicare to pay 25% to 75% more for this equipment than it would cost at Walmart.
Did you know that the health care industry outspends the defense industry on lobbying by something like five-to-one? I did not.
If you are confused by the notion that those least able to pay are the ones singled out to pay the highest rates, welcome to the American medical marketplace.

Many Medford teachers returned to their classrooms Thursday to prepare for the new school year without knowing their future since the teachers union and the school district have yet to come closer to a contract agreement.
Wednesday's collective bargaining session, the 11th in five months, ended at 9:30 p.m. with the Medford School District declaring that mediation will be needed to resolve the double-digit gap in raises that the district is offering and teachers are requesting.
Teachers have to decide how they will handle the disparity in agreements.
A few mentioned that they may vote on striking in the months to come.
A statement released by the district Thursday said negotiations with the Medford Education Association have not resulted in substantial movement or agreement on key issues and the district has requested contract mediation.
Union representatives countered that the district keeps changing the process and is resorting to "game playing" rather than working to resolve differences in wages, benefits, contract days and schedules.
A written statement released by union representatives said: "Every time we settle into a process and progress begins on resolution, the district wants to spend time developing a new process and then lamenting the lack of speed to getting to resolution."
Mediation is a bargaining option provided by state law that allows either group to ask for assistance from an impartial third party in reconciling a labor dispute regarding employment relations. It can be requested only after the groups have spent at least 150 days negotiating on their own.
The district will submit its request to the Oregon Employment Relations Board, which will assign a contract mediator to work with the two parties.
One teacher who asked not to be named said there are only a few qualified mediators in the state and waiting for them to become available may take months.
According to the Employee Relations Board, an appointed mediator will meet with both parties, typically once or twice over 15 days.
If there is no settlement, mediation can continue or one side can declare an impasse, in which case both parties have to submit their final offers and cost summaries to the mediator followed by a 30-day cooling off period.
Teachers could then go on strike after giving 10 days' notice.
Mediation continues during the cooling-off period and throughout a strike, said Janet Gillman, a conciliator with the Employment Relations Board.
At the beginning of Wednesday's bargaining session, School Board Chairman Jeff Thomas said board members have been listening and hearing the concerns of teachers about contract language and working conditions.
He then proposed that the sides split into teams to discuss solutions.
This surprised the union, according to the written statement, and delayed new proposals.
"Whereas his request was not without some merit, it would have been a more efficient use of time to present the idea at a pre-meeting between the chairs of the two parties," according to the union statement.
The teacher who asked not to be identified said she felt her team made progress by the end of the session and she was surprised when the district requested mediation.
Wage increases are a large part of the dispute.
According to a worksheet prepared by the district, a newly hired teacher with a bachelor's degree and no experience would start the 2013-14 school year at $34,183, a 3.2 percent increase over the current annual base salary.
The union is asking for $35,554, a 7.4 percent increase that includes $1,727 more for cost-of-living expenses.
Both sides are offering for more to compensate for an increase in days of instruction and preparation, with the district offering a new hire $1,068 and the union asking for less, $712.
The second year of the contract, the district will increase the contract by 4.4 percent while MEA is asking for 8.6 percent.
The district says it is offering a three-year contract that includes step increases in pay along with an additional 1 percent cost-of-living increase.
For a teacher with 20 years of experience, a master's degree and 75 hours of continued education, the district wants to start the new school year by paying $66,230, a 6 percent increase over the current base salary, while the union is asking for $72,822, a 16.5 percent increase.
The union's proposed increase includes a $7,282 bump for teachers with 17 or more years of service and a cost-of-living increase.
The second year of the contract, the district would increase the veteran teacher's contract by 1 percent while the union is asking for 5 percent, according to the worksheet.
In the 2011-13 contract, Medford teachers had 182 contract days that included 170 days of instruction. The base salary for teachers with a bachelor's degree was $33,115 to $40,472, with seven step increments of $1,126 to 1,331.
That is less than teachers with similar degrees and experience earn at Central Point ($34,123 to $41,703), Eagle Point ($34,448 to $42,100), Grants Pass ($38,149 to $51,543) or Ashland ($36,543 to $55,383), according to the Oregon School Board Association's 2012-2013 Salary Survey Book.

Medford School District opts for mediation in contract talks
Many Medford teachers returned to their classrooms Thursday to prepare for the new school year without knowing their future since the teachers union and the school district have yet to come closer to a contract agreement.

A New Life For Recycled Bike Tires
We sure love us some bikes around here, but what about some ways to create a new life for those tires once their originally intended usefulness has passed? From a completely re-imagined designer chair (that includes bike chains as a seat) to a set of cool stretchy shelves, take a look at these 5 cool projects. Have you made anything cool from bike tires that you want to show us? Tell us about it after the jump.
1. Chair Rocker - This is a schmancy chair made of recycled bike parts and 98% recycled steel.
2. Bike Tire Mirror - So simple, yet so great! Made for a sports themed room on Home Workshop by Audrey Brandt.
3. Elastic Shelf Made from Bike Tire Tubes - Made by System Design Studio these shelves add some urban style to any space.
4. Bicycle Rug - Close-up this rug has a mild insectoid look to it, with its shiny recycled rubber. No doubt it creates a nice layer of protection from a cold floor.
5. Bike Tire Chairs - These funky yard art chairs were spotted on a garden tour in Portland, OR, this garden inspired the Pink Martini song, "The Gardens of Sampson & Beasley."

"Something private as a diary must remain what it is, it should help the heart find its meaning. And it must always be real".
Italian songwriter Elisa dicribes her experience with the Epistodiario, the Moleskine notebook which the Festival delle Lettere for the past five years has passed hand from hand of various artists.
Sold at an auction on E-Bay, the proceeds of Elisa's Epistodiario were given, by the artist's choice, to the volunteers of Il Focolare, the Gorizia non profit organization supporting foster children.

The Professional Bulletin of Army Special Operations
Defining Warfare
The official, approved definitions pertaining to the missions, tasks and activities conducted by Army special-operations forces, or ARSOF, are clear and unambiguous. They provide crisp and practical distillations that denote what ARSOF does. They provide a command azimuth for negotiating the hazards of a larger conceptual environment — an environment made more challenging by a dense conceptual fog.
Special Operations as a Warfighting Function
SOF have played and will continue to play a major role in all facets of military operations, and it is imperative that all military leaders and planners understand SOF's capabilities and limitations. The challenges posed in recruiting, training and employing large forces that can operate in a manner similar to SOF are many and will not be addressed in this article. The author of this article understands that the necessity to understand special operations is in no way limited to the Army, but the article will address Army doctrine only, in order to address and foster discussion on the inclusion of special operations into the Army's warfighting functions, or WfFs.
The Future of MISO
A review of PSYOP's history; taking a brief look at definitions; showing the relationships of PSYOP to public affairs, or PA; information operations, or IO, and public diplomacy, or PD; and suggesting new ways we might think about PSYOP. Although PSYOP has been repeatedly misunderstood and misrepresented, MISO, as a means of informing and influencing foreign audiences, is as relevant in peace as in war and is vital to our nation's defense. This discussion is intended to create a dialogue that may generate solutions to the unresolved issues and serve as the beginning of a more comprehensive definition of MISO as a force and capability.

After full examination including dental radiographs, the problems were evident and resulted in extraction of 16 teeth that were not treatable, due to long-term infection that had gone undetected during the anesthesia-free cleaning procedures. These abscessed teeth were not loose, so a lay person merely scaling the teeth would have never known there was a problem. However, had this dog been taken in for a proper dental cleaning with safe anesthesia and dental x-rays, the areas of severe bone loss and infection could have been treated much earlier and possibly even prevented. In other words, these teeth could have been saved with proper care.

Cross-reference - EASYLABEL 5 now provides you with the tools to design the most complicated chemical labels with certainty. If your task includes placing localized Risk and Safety phrases on your labels EASYLABEL 5's Database Cross Reference function will help you accomplish this. Using Database Cross Reference you are able to not only pull in data from one database but from a second, third or more. Database Cross Reference acts as a pointer that directs EASYLABEL to the database where the data is stored.
Middleware Capabilities - With such powerful features as Command File Monitoring, 32-bit ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) and ActiveX/COM controls, you can effortlessly communicate with and control EASYLABEL 5. Printing can originate from an AS/400, mainframe, UNIX, or host system. A link to Visual Basic, Delphi, C, C++ and other applications that support ActiveX facilitates the creation of custom screens, entry boxes and controls. By using EASYLABEL 5, you can connect to MRP II (Manufacturing Resource Planning), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems such as SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards and BAAN, as well as MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems).
Terminal Server - EASYLABEL 5 Terminal Server provides you with all of the features that the Platinum version offers with the ability to be run on the Windows Terminal Server platform. The software and hardware key are only installed on the Server. This makes the management of the software a SNAP!
XML Generator - EASYLABEL Platinum's XML Generator enables you to generate an XML template for a given format file(s). The Generator prompts for the format file name(s), the number of labels to print, which printer to use, and the variable data used to populate the fields on the format. The XML file that results from the Generator can be used as a template that can be uploaded to and populated from within an XML enabled application. XML files can come from any application that can output XML. The .Net framework and Windows 2000 or Windows XP are required to use the XML Monitor.
XML Monitor - EASYLABEL Platinum's XML Monitor will 'watch' a file directory or TCP/IP port and will automatically print labels whenever a compatible XML file is received. This provides a direct connection to Oracle and SAP. The file drop can also be: your E-mail application automatically copying an E-mail attachment to the directory, or another application automatically generating the file in the directory. The .Net framework and Windows 2000 or Windows XP are required to use the XML Monitor
Remote Programming - EASYLABEL 5 can now be upgraded in the field, (or have users added in EASYLABEL 5 Multi-User) through Remote Programming. Remote Programming is accomplished by exchanging encrypted data files. These data files can be exchanged by any medium such as diskette or E-mail.

IP Printing - Use IP Printing (Internet Protocol) to print to a printer anywhere in the world, that is connected to a Print/Device server or Ethernet card, by using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or its IP address.
Net Print Server - EASYLABEL Net Print Server (ELNPS) is an application that provides a web browser-based interface for label selection and printing. Users of web browsers on Windows PCs, non-Windows computers running Linux or Unix, Apple Mac and even a hand-held PDA can easily browse and select a label format. Although ELNPS Clients can be any system with a web browser, the ELNPS Label Server MUST be a Windows based system because of ELNPS's use of ASP.NET.
Format Browser - EASYLABEL 5's new Format Browser allows you to keep track of the fields that exist on a format. The fields can be located through an expandable "tree" structure where they are grouped by Field Type, Data Source, Conditional fields, Increment/Decrement fields, Hidden/Phantom fields, and TrueType/Device fonts.
Tabbed Dialog Boxes - Field properties are displayed logically by using tabbed dialog boxes. Similar options and features are grouped by tab to make finding the right one fast and easy.
Alignment and Justification - To make it easier to align fields, we've added new alignment and justification choices.
Common properties on 1 screen - To save time when editing properties in a number of different fields, we've added the ability to change all of the common properties, (such as character size or font style) at the same time, from one screen.
Job List - EASYLABEL Platinum's Job List File is basically a saved print queue. Job lists can be created to print specific sequences of labels. A job list can be opened, and all the jobs in the list can then be added to the print queue in one operation. It is also possible to send individual jobs or a selected group of jobs from the list to the Print Queue. Job List Files do not require any programming experience or special syntax. Therefore, they are an EASY way to automate label printing by loading the print queue with multiple print jobs.
EasyTutor - EasyTutor is a multimedia training companion to EASYLABEL. Its purpose is to help you gain a solid working knowledge of the features and functions of EASYLABEL through multimedia movies and tutorials.
Printers supported include:

FOXBOROUGH, MA - In their lone regular season meeting of 2012, Vancouver Whitecaps FC (5W-3L-2D) suffered a 4-1 away defeat to Eastern Conference side New England Revolution (4W-6L-0D) in Major League Soccer on Saturday evening.
Though they took the lead early through Eric Hassli, Whitecaps FC saw their best run as an MLS club come to a crashing halt in front of 12,112 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, after New England scored four unanswered goals to earn a second straight victory versus Vancouver. Former Whitecaps FC player Lee Nguyen scored the Revolution's first and fourth goals of the match, while Saer Sene struck New England's winner and Revolution captain Shalrie Joseph had the home side's third goal before the break. Saturday's defeat ended Whitecaps FC's winning streak in MLS at three matches and five games in all competitions. New England, meanwhile, extended their undefeated home record versus Canadian-based MLS clubs to eight matches (6W-0L-2D).
"I felt that we were a little bit flat tonight," said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie. "We obviously started the game really well by scoring an excellent goal. But even at that moment, I didn't feel particularly excited about it, because I just thought we were a little bit flat. We're in the midst of doing a lot of games just now and we've been doing well and we've been adjusting the team to win every game. Tonight, however, I didn't get it right with the combinations I put out there, and as a result, we didn't get the win."
Halfway through a very busy month of action, Rennie made four changes from the line-up that started last weekend's league win over San Jose Earthquakes. Carlyle Mitchell earned his first MLS start of the season at centre back, while Jordan Harvey returned to league action at left fullback, as captain Alain Rochat moved to the centre of the Vancouver backline. Hassli and Davide Chiumiento also earned starts in New England after playing in midweek.
On a warm evening in Norfolk County, the first-half action quickly turned up to the evening's temperature, with four goals scored before the break. It was the visiting 'Caps that drew first blood shortly after Sebastien Le Toux had the first chance of the match. On five minutes, a fine attacking move saw Chiumiento slip a through ball to Le Toux towards the New England byline. His cutback found Hassli in front of the Revolution goal, and the big Frenchman struck his first-time shot through the legs of New England goalkeeper Matt Reis for his second goal in as many league matches.
However, that lead lasted around a minute, as Nguyen levelled matters against his former club with a fortuitous finish following a scramble in the Whitecaps FC box. It was the United States international's first goal in MLS. New England's equalizer spurred on the home side, with Clyde Simms going close with two strikes on 10 and 20 minutes respectively.
The Revolution's match winner came on 24 minutes through a fine turn and finish from Sene. Nguyen played his part in slipping the ball into the French striker's path before he eluded the attentions of Rochat and finished low past Cannon for a 2-1 New England lead. That soon became three Revolution goals inside half-an-hour of play, as Joseph was in the right place in the Vancouver box to finish his second goal in as many matches versus the Blue and White. On 33 minutes, Sene's cross from the right deflected off of Mitchell's legs to the New England captain, who struck home from close range for a 3-1 Revolution advantage at halftime.
Facing a two-goal deficit, Whitecaps FC looked brighter in the early stages of the second half, with Rochat forcing a good save from Reis with an indirect free kick on 57 minutes. Rennie also brought on midweek goalscorer Darren Mattocks and Etienne Barbara as substitutes, with the Maltese international making his MLS debut after replacing Budweiser Man of the Match Gershon Koffie in the late stages.
Instead, it was New England that ended any hopes of a Vancouver comeback on 72 minutes, as Nguyen stunned his old club with a well-taken second goal. From a Chris Tierney throw-in, the Revolution midfielder struck a half volley that flew past Cannon and into the net for a 4-1 Revolution lead.
The scoreline proved insurmountable for Whitecaps FC, even though Mitchell went very close to scoring with a header on 79 minutes, while Reis denied Le Toux three minutes into second-half stoppage time. The final whistle wrapped up a disappointing evening for Whitecaps FC in New England, with Rennie's side needing to pick themselves up before Wednesday night's first leg in the Amway Canadian Championship final versus MLS rivals Toronto FC on Bell Pitch at BC Place. The Revolution will take this latest victory into an important Eastern Conference home clash versus Houston Dynamo next Saturday.

Members of the Pratt County Planning and Zoning Board met Monday evening, Nov. 19, to finalize a resolution amending the zoning ordinance to address crew camps in the county. Minor changes were made to the original draft resolution to include enhancing the definition of campground.
Most of the confusion relating to the definition, related to the period of time RV campers would be allowed on a temporary basis during harvest and the period of time allowed for campers to be parked during family social events.
One member of the board said he would be gone if his relatives were to remain at his house in a camper for 30 days. Harvesters, it was decided, have a period of time during harvest season, which is governed by the weather. Additionally, members were in favor of allowing RV campers on oil and gas well sites during drilling operations.
Members decided to hold a public hearing relating to the adoption of a resolution considering campgrounds, crew camps, and manufactured home parks. The decision to hold the Dec.17th public hearing was passed by an 8-0 margin, with one member absent at the time of the vote.
In other matters, board members:
• Were informed that Lisa Petrowsky had submitted her resignation as recording secretary for the board, but stated she would remain through December.
• Were notified British Petroleum has submitted an application to erect a wind farm in Pratt County.
• Discussed the small cities in the county joining the countywide zoning program. Cullison, Iuka and Byers are the only three to agree to join the program at this time. The city of Coats is still a possibility according to Tim Branscom, Pratt County Zoning Administrator.
In the case of a small city zoning question, a public hearing will be held before the zoning board, a recommendation will be made to the city government and the city's elected officials will have the final say concerning any zoning matter in the community.
• Were notified British Petroleum (BP) has made a formal application for wind farm generation in Pratt County. Members have been asked not to discuss the intricacies of the application until after a public hearing. 534 properties affected by the BP wind farm will be notified concerning the proposal prior to holding a public hearing before the board. BP will be giving a presentation relating to their proposal before the board on Dec. 17th at the Stanion Meeting Room at Pratt Regional Medical Center.

Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen Had a Pretty Sweet Thanksgiving Together, Thanks for Asking [PHOTO]
(Click for full-size image. Props: Triumph United)
We shared this on our Facebook page on Thursday, but it's worth a re-post for those of you who weren't glued to your computers and mobile devices during the holiday. The photo above shows Chael Sonnen predictably going for a leg while Jon Jones — a menacing figure even without a sharp object — puts on his best bad-guy face and straight up dwarfs the gangster from West Linn. We'd like to congratulate the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board for their bravery in sanctioning this one.
In the pro wrestling world, this sort of thing is called "breaking kayfabe," a moment where the fictional storylines and personas are temporarily discarded, revealing that the whole thing is fake. Yeah, I know Jones has been warming up to Sonnen, who is "pretty decent and pretty classy" all of a sudden. But damn, it sure didn't take long to go from calling each other cowards, cheaters, mental midgets, and selfish, entitled brats, to "bro, are you bringing the cranberries or do I have to run out to Whole Foods again?"
So how do these two really feel about each other — and how much of their interaction on the next season of TUF will be staged for our amusement?Read More DIGG THIS

With the start of National Bullying Prevention Month this week, here�s what the Lenoir County Public Schools system is doing about the issue
Tuesday kicks off National Bullying Prevention Month and the Lenoir County Public Schools system is doing its part to raise awareness about the serious issue.
National Bullying Prevention Month was started by Parents Advocacy Coalition for Educational Rights (PACER) in 2006 as a week-long event that has morphed into a month-long effort to encourage people to take an active role in bullying prevention.
Over the years, PACER has partnered with groups such as Disney, Facebook, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the National Education Association to raise awareness about bullying prevention.
Julie Hertzog, director of PACER�s National Bullying Prevention Center, said the month is a starting point for a conversation to continue throughout the year.
�It�s used as an opportunity for people to start talking about the issue of bullying,� Hertzog said.
In addition, she said the month also helps show students they have support on the issue.
�It�s an opportunity to take action and show students that people care about this issue,� Hertzog said. �Students are uniquely positioned to take action in this, but they need the support of adults and the community to do it.�
Local efforts
Jill Croom, the behavior intervention coordinator for LCPS, said bullying is a national problem and one taken seriously by LCPS.
There are three criteria the district uses to define bullying, Croom said.
The first is that there is a pattern of behavior and is not just a one-time occurrence. The next is that the action is purposeful with intent to harm, Croom said. The third is that it shows an imbalance of power, whether it is because of social-economic, and gender or race reasons.
If all three of the criteria are met, or in some cases one of two if it is warranted by the situation, corrective action is taken, she said. Counseling is usually offered for the �target� and meditation between the two parties often occurs.
Nicole Miller, a guidance counselor at Rochelle Middle School, said bullying at the middle school level is a problem and tactics differ among genders.
�Boys tend to be more physical and females tend to be more verbal,� she said.
Miller said students who have been bullied either come to her on their own or are referred to her by a teacher or parent. She then talks to the person being bullied and gets their side of the story and if they agree to it, she will then bring in the other person and conduct mediation. She said mediation does help and can help solve issues.
Continuing the message
Croom said that due to October also focusing on anti-drug messages, activities relating to National Bullying Prevention Month at LCPS continue into November.
While the district sends out statistical information to schools about bullying each week, Croom said each school designs its own activities to raise awareness.
�Each school has their own creativity on what to do during the month,� Croom said.
Miller said Rochelle will have a grade-level competition. Each grade will decorate their hallway with a theme, whether it be music, sports of whatever and they have to tie it to bullying awareness. Students will have from Oct. 1-23 to decorate and then the hallways will be judged.
On Oct. 24, the school will hold a pep rally where students will all wear uniform shirts to show their support of anti-bullying, Miller said.
Cyber bullying
Croom cited cyber bullying as a newer aspect of bullying that has been on the rise in recent years.
�There are many ways to intimidate that we didn�t have in the past,� Croom said.
Miller said Facebook is probably the worst avenue of social media.
�They post statuses about each other because it�s displayed for everyone to see,� Miller said.
Croom said the district has launched a variety of programs aimed at creating better behavior, including the Positive Behavior Intervention and Support initiative.
La Grange Elementary School Principal Kristie Brennan said bullying is not as prevalent among elementary aged students but is still an issue that is addressed.
�Anti-bullying is part of the PBIS assembly at the beginning of every year,� Brennan said. �They know what we expect and that it�s not tolerated.�
Last year La Grange Elementary School, along with Contentnea-Savannah K-8 School, piloted a new program called Peaceful School Bus, Croom said. The program ties together PBIS, anti-bullying character building and bus safety.
Croom said they saw a decrease in disciplinary action needing to be taken place on buses, and as a result are now going to implement the program at other elementary schools.
Brennan said there is training for staff members at the beginning of each year on how to deal with bullying.
Croom said educating parents and the community is another important aspect. She said she has addressed various churches and scout groups with anti-bully messages. Also, parent workshops offered by the school district have contained anti-bully components.
Croom said she knows that the issue is not one that can be fully eradicated, but she is glad staff members are taking it seriously.
�I�m pleased with how our staff has embraced the seriousness of this issue,� Croom said.

Project PEARL produces trainer's guide to help students with researchUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Professor Emerita, Library and Information Science Program
Pathways for Excellence and Achievement in Research and Learning (PEARL), a project funded by the UH Mānoa Institute of Museum and Library Services and directed by the Library and Information Science Program in the Department of Information and Computer Sciences, has produced an online trainer's guide. The three-year project provided professional development for teams of teachers and librarians from twenty Hawaiʻi DOE and private schools working on researching skills with their students. The teams designed and implemented collaborative instructional approaches in reading, writing and thinking critically to assist students in creating projects across diverse disciplines.
The trainer's guide is downloadable from the PEARL Web site at http://www.hawaii.edu/lis/pearl/. The site also showcases examples of student projects as well as teaching resources for the instructors. For more information on Project PEARL, contact its director, Violet Harada, at email@example.com.
Karen Lee, Executive Director of the Hawaiʻi P-20 Partnerships for Education, noted that the project is "a perfect example of work done in the cross-sector space that builds critical skills in our high school students to be ready for life after college."
Members of the PEARL development team were Carolyn Kirio, Kapolei Middle School; Sandy Yamamoto, Kapolei High School; Michael-Brian Ogawa, UHM-ICS Department; Jodie Mattos, UHM Libraries; Megan Terawaki, PEARL graduate assistant; and Kendyll Doi and Ed Meyer, PEARL technical support members.

Wiki rewritten
Hi, I followed this wiki two days ago and now Optimus technology works fine on my laptop, but I found this wiki a bit confusing. I decided to rewrite it. I'm not a linux-expert and i'm not English (I'm Italian), so feel free to correct what I wrote.
- 1) Setup X Server: I put this section as the first. New Bumblebee's versions create a xorg.conf.nvidia.pacnew file, so I added a cp command.
- 2) Load Kernel Module: I reordered this section with this logic in mind: first, get rid of nouveau at all; second, load nvidia module.
- 3) Start Bumblebee Daemon: I created a section for this. This way you don't need to reboot and it's more clear what you're doing.
- 4) Start VirtualGL Client: Well, I deleted this section because I think it's not needed to make bumblebee to work. I never run that command to use optirun or optirun32.
- 5) Usage: I added optirun32. It seems to work fine with Unigine Tropics benchmark.
- 6) Autostart Bumblebee: I created a section for this because this operations were all around the wiki. This way it's more compact.
- 7) Nvidia ON/OFF... : Everything is fine here. I added the command to check battery rate only.
- About last section: I got an ACER Aspire 5742g (Nvidia gt540M) and if I followed the steps to turn off my card: well, my power usage is higher(+400mA) with the card turned off and nvidia module unloaded! I know it's unbelievable, but it's true. Anyone is experiencing this? Bye
Thewall 18:06, 1 July 2011 (EDT)
Samsagax Reply on thewall changes
It's nice someone got interested! Now I'll argue some points for what takes precedence, what are bugs and what is planned to the future of Bumblebee in ArchLinux:
- 1) I would put the kernel module load first, before the configuration of the X server, I think is better logic.
- 2) The issue with the ".pacnew" file is a bug, should create it only if there is an "xorg.conf.nvidia" (on upgrade). I'm also planning to move this conf file to /etc/bumblebee directory.
- 3) Liked that (:
- 4) I really wouldn't delete that, don't know why, but some people need the vglclient running, should be an optional and explanatory section maybe.
- 5) As the new package of bumblebee I'm trying to split into smaller packages containing the libraries apart from the scripts and optirun32 didn't work fine for most people (specially under wine).
- 6) Liked that, is more clean this way
- 7) This is a dark spot. as long as acpi_call does not work reliably on most laptops there is no safe way to tell if it's working. For this reason I'm putting this as purely experimental state and not supporting it for now. Your issue was reported and is known on a variety of ASUS laptops. I'll recommend to read about acpi_call and their known-to-work laptops.
BTW: Thanks!
Reply to Samsagax
- 1) Ok.
- 2) I tried to clarify. Is that bug solved?
- 3) Great (:
- 4) I re-entered the VGL Client section with a note.
- 5) You really made a good job here (:
- 6) Ok.
- 7) Nothing to say.
- Other) A user on italian Arhlinux forum says that he must manually run the bumblebee daemon AFTER logging in with GNOME3. When he puts it in /etc/rc.conf he gets this: "[VGL] ERROR: Could not open display :1." It would be good to write that somewhere? Maybe a "troubleshooting" section?
Thewall 18:06, 1 July 2011 (EDT)
Addition to 7)
I think the higher Power consumption is caused by the X-Server that gets hung up (it hogs 100% of one CPU Core) when you switch off the Card via acpi_call. I've got the same issue here on a ASUS X53S, which also has a NVidia GT 540M.
florianb 00:19, 1 August 2011 (CET)
- Try disabling the X server first or you will have some issues. If there is still a problem try the vga-switcheroo option.
- Samsagax 19:27, 31 July 2011 (EDT)
- I tried to reproduce the errors successfully
- 1. If you switch off the NVIDIA Card before you stop the bumblebee daemon (which starts/stops the 2nd X-Server) you get into trouble, the X process hogs 100% CPU, gets unkillable and the overall power consumption (in my case) goes from about 1500mA to 2100mA
- 2. If you only stop the bumblebee daemon without switching off the NVIDIA Card, power consumption goes from about 1500mA to 1800-1900mA (maybe user "thewall" only stopped the daemon without switching off the NVIDIA Card?)
- 3. If you switch off the NVIDIA Card (which is a GT 540M in my case) via acpi_call, power consumption goes down to 1200mA, which is quite nice *BUT* the Fan goes 100% some seconds after you switch it off.. this seems to consume about 50mA more power.. blah blah and first of all is totally annoying
- A guy in the ubuntu forum apparently already fixed 3) on similar hardware as i have, but i guess the differences are in detail, i'm trying to find it out.
- florianb 08:07, 1 August 2011 (CET)
- I'll try to release today the new model for nvidia driver, similar to the one of nouveau. That way power switching is made automatically and by means of vga-switcheroo by default. I have to remind you that acpi_call method calls are guessed and (in your case) they may be incorrect. Samsagax 10:42, 1 August 2011 (EDT)
- Okay, sounds nice. I'd really like to contribute something to your work, if there's anything i could do, let me know.
- florianb 10:37, 2 August 2011 (CET)
We are making some progress
Well, some developers (real ones) and me are getting somewhere on a stable Bumblebee due to this week. Will update the package as soon as we get it done. Samsagax 14:27, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
What about lib32-nvidia-utils-bumblebee
Nowhere in the wiki article lib32-nvidia-utils-bumblebee is mentioned. But this is necessary if I would like to run 32bit wine games, right? --Onny 16:17, 29 January 2012 (EST)
No devices detected, error encountered due to different cause
While i was trying to use bumblebee with nouveau, i encountered
[ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) No devices detected.
[ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
But apparently for a different reason, i haven't figured out what it was, changing to nvidia(extra/nvidia 290.10-2) fixed it. (I also had to update to core/linux 3.2.2-1 for it.)

Police seek man who robbed Laconia convenience store
November 10. 2013 8:52PM
LACONIA — Police are looking for a man who robbed a Laconia convenience store at knifepoint Sunday afternoon.
Laconia police were called at 3:57 p.m. to the P & P Market, 43 Elm St., to investigate an armed robbery. According to police, witnesses described seeing a white male with a light brown goatee, approximately 35 years old, who allegedly threatened an employee with a large, fixed blade knife, approximately 10 inches long. The thief demanded and received an undisclosed amount of cash, then fled the area on foot wearing a brown hoodie with a red T-shirt underneath, a black coat, blue jeans and white sneakers.
No injuries were reported. No further information was available Sunday night.
Laconia police are asking that anyone with information to call 524-5252, or contact the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

When it comes to hiring IT staff, there's at least as much pressure on employers to put their best foot forward as there is on job candidates.
With more than 2000 computing jobs listed on one website alone, it's a candidates' market, says Natasha Hubbard, the head of human resources at accounting software company Xero.
"You have to be realistic about the fact that candidates have options. Xero is fortunate that we have a lot going for us in terms of our culture."
The six-year-old stock exchange darling - its share price has more than trebled in the past 12 months - retains its start-up energy and has a "fun, funky vibe", Hubbard says.
"At this stage we're in a nice, sweet spot of people genuinely wanting to come on board. For us it hasn't come down to wage wars."
However, the wages certainly aren't bad for a fresh graduate. James Corbett landed himself a $50,000 a year programming job at Xero as soon as he finished his three-year computer science degree in the middle of last year.
The 22-year-old had applied for several jobs, but liked what Xero had to offer, and it liked him, so he signed on.
"It was definitely a good market for a graduate to be looking in. I applied for jobs all over the show and had a lot of luck with people getting back to me."
Corbett left thinking about jobs until near the end of his degree, even though employers were already scouting for talent - and promoting their organisations as good places to work - in his second year. By the time he was ready to make his first career move, plenty of opportunities presented themselves.
"There was a lot of employer interest. I didn't have to go searching and found a job quite easily."
At Xero the focus was less on his grades and more on his ability to work in a team.
That appealed to Corbett just as much, as his abilities clearly matched what Xero was after.
In Christchurch, 20-year-old Ben Munro could also pick and choose. The University of Canterbury computer science graduate had a job lined up two months before completing his degree.
"I was quite lucky in that I had a few opportunities offered to me."
Having an A-minus grade average was no doubt an advantage, Munro says. So was experience as a summer intern at IT company Hewlett-Packard.
After a three-hour interview that involved aptitude tests and meeting several of the people he could be working with, he opted for a developer job at Christchurch fleet-tracking software company Telogis on a salary of just over $50,000. The work is as interesting as he'd hoped, and the workplace welcoming.
"They really do make it a fun place rather than just being here for your eight hours a day with your head down."
The popular image of an IT worker might be a young male whose closest relationship is with his computer. But the reality is different, says Xero's Hubbard.
"When I look around Xero we have techie bods, we have a range of ages, we have great diversity, so it's not your traditional nerds all in a room not talking to each other."
First on the list of attributes employers look for is a candidate's team-working ability, says University of Canterbury computer science professor Tim Bell.
Problem-solving, creativity, technical interest, mathematical ability and leadership skills are also sought.
"There is a role for very technical people who can solve hard problems and also a role for those who are much more people-oriented," Bell says.

Is My Toddler Exhibiting Signs of Autism?
My son is 2 years 11 months old. Up until about four weeks ago, he seemed fine. Perhaps a month or two behind where his sister was at that time, but he walked and spoke within a reasonable range. Today he walks well (runs all over the place, actually!) climbs stairs and playground equipment, and laughs quite a bit, especially when chased or tickled. The other day when I walked in he said to me 'Daddy, I drawing with Nanny!' That's a good example of his speech, sometimes a little mixed but generally understandable. My worries concern two things. First is his sometime inability/refusal to respond to his name. He'll be playing (maybe pushing a toy truck back and forth) or in his car seat, and my wife or I will call him, and he keeps looking away as if he hasn't heard. If we sit him down and look at him (his eye contact is good, not great) he will eventually respond, but it's tough. Also worrisome is his occasional -- perhaps I view it twice a day -- hand flapping or finger movements. Some places I read say it could be a symptom of autism, other places say almost every child does it. He babbles about the same -- two or three times, saying `Goo goo` sort of speech, but 95% of the time he's speaking words that we all understand. Otherwise he seems to play well with others, points if asked, and is good at speaking, walking and eating (he uses a fork). He also has affection for his sister -- the other day he took an extra piece of cake to give to her. I know that a definitive answer can be given only after observation, but I was wondering if you think I am overthinking all this and he's just in a phase -- he is, after all, just 2 years, 11 months, and this hasn't been going on for long -- or not. There is so much conflicting information. (Last item -- his grandmother, who used to teach grade school, visited the other day for a few hours. Her response – he's a little quirky, but probably fine. But keep an eye on him.) Again, thank you so much.
As you have already noted, your son is displaying a few behaviors that are often seen in children with autism spectrum disorders. As you also note, he has a great deal of normal behavior that strongly suggests he does not have a spectrum disorder. Finally, as you are aware, making a diagnosis via the Internet is difficult if not impossible, and direct observation would be needed.
From the detailed description you provide, I would tend to agree with his grandmother. Your son sounds pretty developmentally normal. Some of the behaviors he displays are probably variants of normal (most kids this age will flap their hands briefly when excited, for example). Many of these behaviors will also respond to the type of management you are already encouraging, such as reminding him to look at you when you are speaking, etc. You mention that some of these are recent behaviors and may be a "phase", and that also is true.
If these behaviors increase or worsen, instead of improving and lessening, it would be appropriate to discuss this further with your child's pediatrician.

The dedication will be open to pedestrian traffic only and those who wish to attend should park at the Dalton Wells parking area, two miles away just off U.S. 191, approximately 17 miles north of Moab at mile marker 141. Shuttle buses will be available to provide transportation from the Dalton Wells parking lot to the site of the ceremony.
After the unveiling, some participants will take a 14-mile backcountry ATV ride along the trail. Classified as moderately difficult, the trail negotiates rocky washes, rock steps, slickrock, and sand, and offers views of Arches National Park and the surrounding area. Registration for the event is open at www.upoa.org and onsite on Saturday, organizers said.
The Fallen Peace Officer Trail is intended to "honor the lives and service of Utah's fallen law enforcement heroes," according to a news release from Utah State Parks and Recreation.
Utah State Parks Ranger Brody Young will join the inaugural ride. Young was shot and critically wounded in November 2010 while checking on a suspicious vehicle. Young has since recovered from his injuries and has returned to duty.
More than 230 riders have registered. Registration fees help fund scholarships for the families of fallen officers. To register for the ride, visit upoa.org
Throughout the day, 14 officers from across the state will be honored during the first Honor Corridor and Solemnity Walk. Organizers said this will be an annual event and different officers will be honored each year.
A designated area has been created for each fallen officer and a representative from each officer's agency will honor the fallen and host the public in remembering the sacrifice made. The Honor Corridor/Solemnity Walk will be open to the public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to pedestrian traffic only.
Lloyd Larsen, one of Moab City Police Office law enforcement officers has been selected as one of the 14 officers being honored this year.
