text: Suddenly, the vibrations seem good again. Pop maestro Brian Wilson, 53, brother Carl, 50, and cousin Mike Love, 54, are gathered round the microphone, just like old times, singing one of those unmistakable harmonies that so often lifted the Beach Boys to the top of the charts. But this is no oldies show. The three are actually working on a new song, happily crooning, "Meet me somewhere out in Malibu!" "We're putting Carl's guitar on next," announces Brian Wilson, "which will make it even more raucous. It might even fly away. It's good enough to totally fly out of the universe." Back on earth, in a Glendale, Calif., studio, the big surprise is that these guys are even speaking to one another. Just six weeks ago, Love won more than $5 million in a federal lawsuit against Brian Wilson, claiming that he was unfairly denied credit and royalties for "California Girls," "Fun Fun Fun," and more than 30 other Beach Boys hits he cowrote. And that doesn't take into account the darker side of the Beach Boys' history: Wilson's two-decade bout with mental illness, drug abuse, and various disputes with family, attorneys, and a former psychoanalyst, all of which have kept him mostly estranged from the band he once led. Ironically, says Love, it was the lawsuit that brought them back together, finally lifting the burden of unfinished business from their lives. Four weeks ago, he invited Wilson to his home in Lake Tahoe for their first serious songwriting session in two decades. "We're back to square one," says Love, whose 6-year-old son, Brian, has added his voice to today's chorus. "In a studio in a garage making demos towards a new crop of songs only it's 25 years later." Still, there's a small disagreement brewing. The song is tentatively slated for submission to a new syndicated TV spin-off called Baywatch Nights. But Wilson is so pleased with the results, he's reluctant to let it go for anything other than a Beach Boys album. "We need this kind of a song," he insists. "You can't throw away your ace." Wherever the song ends up, Love and Wilson hope that this is merely the first step in a renewed period of activity for the Beach Boys. Except for 1988's "Kokomo," which was recorded without Wilson, the group hasn't had a No. 1 single since 1966's "Good Vibrations." "Only the voices will be the same," says Wilson of the new songs. "The tracks are a little more hard-driving. I'm trying to get used to our new thing, and I think I will. It's so hard, you know. I feel like I'm on the spot, and I don't like that feeling."

Stop Belly Fat
Cereals – (even those advertised as healthy for children), crackers, breads, chips, pretzels, and pasta
Muesli – I don't know what it is about muesli that seems to lure in those of us in search of a 'healthy' breakfast option. Yes it does have healthy grains , however, add in oils, and corn syrup and our muesli just turned into a hip bulging breakfast
'Lite' or 'Fat Free' or 'Diet' foods – many of these lite and fat free foods taste ok, but if you think about it, you realize that in order to boost the flavour WHILE removing the fat, something else has to take its place.That's Sugar! What appears to be a healthy option winds up being nothing more than a high calorie fat for carb swap.
Condiments – tomato sauce, jelly, jams, syrups, gravies, and sauces
Dried, canned, and cured meats
Fruit juice and Soft Drinks – if you make a habit of drinking fruit juices and soft drinks, your blood sugar will spike and crash more than the Stock market! You see, the main problem with fruit juice is that it is a form of 'liquid calories'. Go check how much sugar is in a serving of orange juice and a coca-cola, you might be shocked to see that it's practically the same! 10-12 teaspoons of sugar in each!
Processed Foods and Takeaways – this speaks for itself !
Salad dressings – including many low-fat and fat-free versions
Eat whole , clean, unprocessed foods as much as possible.
No microwaved dinners, processed snacks, or sugars.
This is simple …. vegetables, fruits, and whole grains make you a happier healthy person.
When you start eating foods that are healthy and natural, your entire life is going to change.
You will feel it in your energy, in your digestion, and in the fat melting off of your body.

Nearly eight-in-ten (78 per cent) of Americans say they have watched or followed Olympic coverage either on television, online or on social networks according to The Pew Research Centre.
Television remains far-and-away the leading platform for Olympic coverage; 73 per cent say they have watched coverage on television. Still, 17 per cent say they have watched online or digitally and 12 per cent report they have followed Olympic coverage on social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter. Most Olympic followers (68 per cent) say they are watching events in the evening after they have already occurred. At the same time, almost a quarter (23 per cent) say they are watching live during the day.

In the course I'm reading, there's this example to show that a low power factor leads to more current being drawn, and thus more power lost in the transmission lines.
Assume a certain load requires 1 kW to function correctly.
If the power factor were 0.9, and the power supply gives 110V, we would need 10A. If the power factor were 0.6, and the power supply gives 110V, we would need 15A.
However, something here just doesn't make sense. If we consider the power supply as an ideal voltage source, then the current has nothing to do with the given power.
It seems that he just assumed the load would draw the required power to function properly no matter what.
On the other hand, it seems to me that the current would stay the same, being affected by the impedance of the load, leading to a lower real power and thus a malfunctional load.
Where did I go wrong?

Category Archives: Bunions
Hallux Valgus Signs Symptoms
June 5, 2015Posted by on
Bunions are probably the most common foot disorder seen in podiatry. The term bunion itself is used by patients describing the bony lump found near the base of the big toe, which is usually an adaptation of the positional change of the big toe. Hallux abducto valgus (HAV) is a medical term, which describes the position of the hallux (big toe) with respect to the connecting bone of the mid foot (metatarsal). In this foot disorder, the hallux deviates towards the lesser toes and the metatarsal moves towards the midline.
Bunions are more common in women than men. The problem can run in families. People born with abnormal bones in their feet are more likely to form a bunion. Wearing narrow-toed, high-heeled shoes may lead to the development of a bunion. The condition may become painful as the bump gets worse. Extra bone and a fluid-filled sac grow at the base of the big toe.
SymptomsCorns and calluses may occur on the soles of the feet, in between toes and on the bunion joint. Stiffness can occur at the big toe due to secondary arthritis, this is known as Hallux Rigidus. Other foot conditions can occur such as in growing toenails and in severe cases the bunion joint may have a fluid filled sack called a bursitis. This can be very painful and can become infected.
Bunions are readily apparent, you can see the prominence at the base of the big toe or side of the foot. However, to fully evaluate your condition, the Podiatrist may arrange for x-rays to be taken to determine the degree of the deformity and assess the changes that have occurred. Because bunions are progressive, they don't go away, and will usually get worse over time. But not all cases are alike, some bunions progress more rapidly than others. There is no clear-cut way to predict how fast a bunion will get worse. The severity of the bunion and the symptoms you have will help determine what treatment is recommended for you.
Non Surgical Treatment
Sometimes observation of the bunion is all that?s needed. To reduce the chance of damage to the joint, periodic evaluation and x-rays by your surgeon are advised. In many other cases, however, some type of treatment is needed. Early treatments are aimed at easing the pain of bunions, but they won?t reverse the deformity itself. These include changes in shoewear. Wearing the right kind of shoes is very important. Choose shoes that have a wide toe box and forgo those with pointed toes or high heels which may aggravate the condition. Padding. Pads placed over the area of the bunion can help minimize pain. These can be obtained from your surgeon or purchased at a drug store. Activity modifications. Avoid activity that causes bunion pain, including standing for long periods of time. Medications. Oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, may be recommended to reduce pain and inflammation. Icing. Applying an ice pack several times a day helps reduce inflammation and pain. Injection therapy. Although rarely used in bunion treatment, injections of corticosteroids may be useful in treating the inflamed bursa (fluid-filled sac located around a joint) sometimes seen with bunions. Orthotic devices. In some cases, custom orthotic devices may be provided by the foot and ankle surgeon.
Surgical Treatment
In 2010, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published guidance about a minimally invasive surgical procedure to treat bunions. The aim of the procedure is to repair the tilting of the big toe. The technique can be carried out under a local anaesthetic or a general anaesthetic, using X-rays or an endoscope for guidance. The type of endoscope used will be a long, thin, rigid tube with a light source and video camera at one end. One or more incisions will be made near the big toe so that bone-cutting instruments can be inserted. These will be used to remove the bunion and to divide one or more bones located at the front of the foot. Wires, screws or plates will be used to keep the divided bones in place. After the procedure, you may need to wear a plaster cast or dressing to keep your foot in the correct position until the bones have healed. You may be given a special surgical shoe that enables you to walk on your heel. As the procedure is relatively new, there's little in the way of reliable evidence regarding its safety or effectiveness.
The best way to reduce your chances of developing a bunion is to wear shoes that fit properly. Any shoe that is too tight or too high will force your toes together and may cause the condition to develop. Shoes need to be wide enough, so they aren't rubbing against the joint, and preferably made of leather. Avoid shoes with a lot elaborate stitching at the front, as this can also cause irritation. Heels should be no more than three to four inches and you should only wear them occasionally. Court shoes should seldomly be worn, as they do not give the foot any support. Be honest with yourself, you know if your shoes aren't fitting you comfortably. Do something about it, or you will suffer for your vanity.

As usual another infomative issue.
The Ethenol article is definately appropriate. While I owned my 1982 Cougar station wagon I had constant issues with E10. Although the fuel system suffered no damage due to the fuel it certainly posed other issues.
It seems that indeed the boiling point of the fuel and altitude at which I live had detremental effects. No matter what the ambient temperature was about 2 minutes after I shut the engine off after operating at full temperature the fuel in the carburator bowl would boil over in to the carb throat via the bowl vent. Unless I waited over 30 minutes to restart the car it was flooded. It boiled over enough to puddle fuel in the intake manifold. Due to the design of the inline six manifold there was never any evidence that the fuel was getting in to the cylinders statically. I never experienced vapor lock however. It would drive and idle all day long without issue. I could even hear the fuel boiling in the carburator. I tried several things to no avail. I lowered the float, I retarded the timing in order to lower the operating temp. Increased the jet size, raised the float to factory spec and nothing worked. I later made a 3/8" thick isolation spacer and it did help some but only when the outside air temp was below 45*F.
I took the car to a show in Buena Park, Ca. and it did not boil over after two hours of driving. The only explanation is that Buena Park is at sea level. Any time the car was operated at sea level did the carb never boil over. I live at 2,200 feet and it was a daily occurance.
I determined that it was hopeless and could not be corrected with the E10 fuel. I have numerous contacts with other carburated cars in many different configurations from 4 cylinder to inline 8 cylinder engines and all have the same issue. It became enough of an issue for me that I've sworn off carburated cars and trucks. I sold it to a fellow in Texas, not far above sea level.
I can imagine the frustration in obtaining all the correct materials, fuel hoses, diaphragms, fittings and compatable materials for any vintage auto so it can be compatible with ethenol. While non-ethonol gasoline remains available around the country it is not always easy to find and certainly may not be convenient to drive long distances to get it.
Here's a link. http://pure-gas.org/
Steve,Interesting comments and experiences. Yes, ethanol definitely has a lower boiling point. I can see how that factor would be aggravated by elevation.I have checked the link you provided in the past. Unfortunately, there are no pure-gas stations near me. If there where, I would be patronizing them with both my '62 Olds and my '55 Cad!Come to think of it, there are also no Pure™ gas stations in my vicinity!

Cape Coral Daily Breeze
Last year's drought was a real eye opener for Cape Coral officials struggling to keep enough water in city canals to be able to fight fires and for residents to water their lawns.
This year, the city has asked for help from the state and its state representative to make sure it is prepared in the future.
State Rep. Dane Eagle, R-77, has filed an appropriations bill requesting $1,115,000 in state funds for the city of Cape Coral to engineer, design and permit a 3.5-mile pipeline from Southwest Aggregates Mining reservoir in south Charlotte County to Gator Slough in northeast Cape Coral.
The pipeline would provide an additional freshwater supply for the city's canal system, which provides irrigation and fire protection in Cape Coral.
Eagle said the issue is both qualitative and quantitative. The pipeline project into the reservoir would allow the city to use that water during drought and for a variety of purposes.
"A lot of the water going into the Caloosahatchee is runoff water. We would be diverting some of this water into a reservoir northeast of Cape Coral," Eagle said. "We had a record drought last year and were at a loss regarding irrigating lawns and the canals were drying up."
Eagle sought funding last year for the project in the midst of the drought, but was unable to get the $2.5 million the city was looking for.
This year, the city met the state halfway, agreeing to match the state's payment for the project, which could be used in a way so that during unusually wet winters, the pipeline could be shut down so as to not flood the canals.
Eagle said the city's contribution is par for the course regarding this type of allocation, which will only help its case when decisions are made.
"We allocate each year a certain portion of money for these types of projects in our communities," Eagle said. "The fact the city is matching that is helpful and makes it more favorable when we consider it."
In the past, the city used its reclamation facility as the main source for irrigation water, with the canals being a supplement. In recent years, it has gone the opposite way.
The city has evaluated using the reservoir as potential storage area for irrigation water for several years.
Last year, the city was able to accelerate a test run on the reservoir when severe drought conditions were depleting the city's freshwater canal system. Officials say the test proved to be very successful.
Water from the reservoir property flowed into drainage ditches along U.S. 41 and into the Gator Slough canal system.
"We were looking at a point where we needed to see whether the reservoir could be a solution for us," city spokesperson Connie Barron said.
Barron said the city worked with the South Florida Water Management District, Southwest Florida Water Management District, Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Florida Department of Transportation to acquire the necessary permits to allow the city to pump water from the reservoir to replenish the city's freshwater canals.
The pipeline would likely be installed along the U.S. 41 drainage ditches underground, into the slough, which would feed the canals throughout the city.
The project could also benefit the Charlotte Harbor Flatwoods Initiative area by reducing flooding in the Cecil M. Webb Wildlife Management Area.
"We're looking at it as a long-term solution to meet the irrigation demands of the city as it continues to grow. To move forward on it, we need to design the design and engineering and that is what the money would be for," Barron said.
"Our freshwater canal system provides the majority of irrigation water for our residents during the dry season," said Utilities Director Jeff Pearson. "As demand increases, the city needs to continue developing additional sources of water, and the reservoir could be a reliable long-term option for our community."
If funding is approved, the design would take about 18 months to complete, while construction of the pipeline could cost about $8 million and take up to two years to finish, Barron said.

Ecosystem Status Report for the Northeast Large Marine Ecosystem
6. Fish Communities
Here we provide a community-level perspective on changes in fish populations over time to complement existing single species-based approaches. We focus on species groups aggregated in different ways including taxonomic affinities, fishing practices, habitat, and diet or trophic level. Integrative measures can provide insights into how an ecosystem responds to a wide range of pressures and drivers. This "big picture" view of the biotic components of the food web provides a better sense of relationships among its component species and processes of energy flow within this ecosystem.
Often, broadly defined taxonomic groups are targeted by different components of the fishing fleet. Here we consider four such groups including groundfish (the traditional target species for the bottom-trawl and gillnet fleets), small elasmobranchs (skates and dogfish), small pelagic fishes (principally Atlantic herring and Atlantic mackerel), and other fish. The small elasmobranchs were primarily caught incidentally in groundfish fisheries until markets for these species were further developed in the 1980's. The small pelagic fishes have long supported important commercial fisheries (including some of the oldest in the United States) and are often targeted using specialized gear. Many of the species included in the other fish category are taken as incidental catch but some, notably monkfish, have emerged as extremely valuable components of the overall fishery.
Catch per tow by functional group
An examination of trends in each of these groups over the entire shelf region based on NEFSC autumn bottom trawl surveys points to dramatic increases over time in the small elasmobranch and pelagic fish components. In contrast, an initial decline and subsequent recovery is evident for the groundfish category, while other fish have remained stable or increased (Figure 6.1). These patterns are related to harvesting practices that resulted in sharp declines in bottom-dwelling fish, and subsequent implementation of management measures in the 1990s which resulted in recovery of at least some of the groundfish species.
Total biomass of all functional groups by ecological production unit
Total biomass can be estimated using all functional groups for each of the four ecological production units. Partitioning total biomass this way shows differences among the regions (Figure 6.2). Fall biomass on Georges Bank has gradually increased over time while the biomass in the Gulf of Maine has increased rapidly in the past decade. The other two regions have been relatively more consistent with biomass in the Mid-Atlantic Bight decreasing in recent years. Biomass levels in the Scotian Shelf are generally less than the other three regions.
Pelagic to Demersal ratio by ecological production unit
The species comprising a community and those targeted by a fishery can be characterized by how they are partitioned into different habitats. For example, demersal fish species such as cod, haddock, and flounders are found in near-bottom waters or are associated with the seabed. In contrast, pelagic fish species such as herring and mackerel are typically found higher in the water column. An index of the ratio of pelagic to demersal fishes provides important insights into relative changes in these two major groups of fishes and, therefore, pathways of energy flow (Link 2005; Methratta & Link 2006). In the early part of the time series, the demersals were dominant throughout the northeast continental shelf (aside from the Mid-Atlantic Bight) as shown by low ratios across three regions. Starting in the late 1980s, a shift occurred from a demersal dominated system to a pelagic dominated one. This shift occurred later in the Gulf of Maine. In contrast, the Mid-Atlantic was generally dominanted by pelagics (Fogarty & Murawski 1998; Link et al. 2011; Figure 6.3). Recently the trend of increasing pelagic to demersal ratios has leveled off and even reversed on the Scotian Shelf. Conversely, the Mid-Atlantic is now dominated by demersal species albeit near the 1:1 mark.
Biodiversity, the mix of species within the ecosystem, provides a range of ecological services and increases the stability of ecosystem functions (Cardinale et al. 2012). It is therefore a secondary goal of fisheries management. However, this can be difficult to do with traditional single species management but can be addressed more explicitly within an EBFM context. There are a number of different metrics that can be used to measure the biodiversity of an area. One of the more robust metrics is Hurlbert's expected number of species which standardizes the sample size between tows (Hurlbert 1971). This is necessary because the more individuals within a catch, the higher the probability of encountering a rare species. Changes in biodiversity can be attributed directly to fishing but also indirectly to other human impacts. It may be impossible to fully comprehend the human impact on biodiversity. For the NES LME, trends in the expended number of species follow one of two patterns; expected numbers either increased during the middle of the time series with recent slight declines or vice versa (Figure 6.4). The biggest change in biodiversity has been in the Mid-Atlantic which went from around 9.5 species to a low of 6.0 species before rebounding to levels similar to the beginning of the time series.
We can also characterize the fish community and species of commercial and ecological significance with respect to their average size (Link 2005, Methratta & Link 2006). An indicator of overall mean length, taken from the lengths of all finfish species caught in fishery-independent surveys, reflects changes in the size composition of the entire fish community. Georges Bank has remained relatively stable in terms of the average fish size over four decades, with some evidence of a slight recent decline (Figure 6.5).
Decreases in average size are evident in the other ecological production units but with different timing in the onset of the declines (Figure 6.5). The decrease in mean size has been relatively continuous in the Gulf of Maine since the inception of the NEFSC surveys. In contrast, the Scotian Shelf exhibited an increase until the early 1990s after which sharp declines were evident. The Mid-Atlantic region showed initial declines followed by a stabilization at low mean size, with a recent increase in this area. How these general patterns may change as fishes continue to shift their distribution (Nye et al. 2009) will remain an intriguing factor to evaluate.
The "trophic level" (TL) of a species (its place in the food web) is an important aspect of understanding not only the implied size of species in an ecosystem, but also the transfer of energy in the system (Pauly et al. 1998). We can determine the trophic level of a species from examining its diet. It is then possible to determine the mean trophic level in the sampled fish community by weighting the trophic levels of individual species by their abundance (biomass) and averaging over all species. The mean trophic level is an indicator of how much energy is transferred to species feeding higher up in the food web. The mean trophic level of fish species captured during the NEFSC autumn bottom trawl surveys has remained relatively stable over time for three of the four ecological production units (Figure 6.6). The mean trophic level of the Scotian Shelf has declined in recent years while the Mid-Atlantic declined through the early 90s, rebounded, and is experiencing another decline.
We note that declines in condition factor, or individual fish weight in relation to fish length, have been observed for numerous fish stocks in the Northeast US. Recently, trends in condition factor were analyzed for 40 finfish stocks caught in the NEFSC autumn bottom trawl survey (1992-2010), and sexes were analyzed separately for species whose growth rate differ by sex. Most of fish stocks and sexes (47 of the 66 combinations) were found to have significant trends in condition factor over the time series, and of these, only 5 showed a significant increase in condition factor (Northern silver hake females, Southern silver hake males, both sexes of Northern windowpane flounder, and Southern windowpane flounder females) (Figure 6.7). Changes in condition factor can be due to fishing pressure, competition, or environmental changes. However, further analysis showed that abundance or bottom temperatures did not appear to be driving the observed decreases in fish weight. Similar changes in condition have been noted for fish in Atlantic Canada. The overall change in fish condition is important because the productivity of fish stocks and expected yield depend on growth and condition. Further, the reproductive output of fish stocks is linked to their condition, potentially affecting egg production and recruitment.
Estimates of groundfish recruitment (the number of young fish surviving to a specified age) and the overall weight of the adult population producing this recruitment since 1985 are available for fourteen stocks on the Northeast Continental Shelf. We examined the estimated number of recruits divided by the spawning stock that produced this recruitment. To compare this metric for all stocks together, we standardized each ratio relative to its average value and its standard deviation (a measure of the variability of the ratio). We do see periods of apparently favorable and unfavorable recruitment levels (Figure 6.8). Many of these stocks had poor recruitment index values during 2001-2003 and 2008-2009 in particular. In addition to environmental drivers that can affect the recruitment survival index, it is possible that other factors such changes in age-structure of the stocks and related changes in egg and larval survival can come into play. There is increasing evidence that the viability of the progeny from older and larger female spawners is higher.

Hello and welcome to the magical world of the Djinn! Djinn are shape-shifting supernatural creatures. According to the ancient mythology of the Middle East, they were created from smokeless fire, whilst we rather more earth-bound creatures humans were created from clay. They can be good or evil, visible or invisible and can shape shift, assuming human, animal and inanimate form. In the tales of the Arabian Nights, Solomon was said to have mastered them, imprisoning them in sealed jars and throwing them into the sea. They are altogether rather wondrous creatures.
I have been fascinated by djinn for years, and so when I moved to the Middle East five years ago, I was determined to write something about them.
Then, one day, I got inspired.
I was walking along the beach near my home when I found a shell with a very intricate pattern on it. I picked it up, imagined I was a young boy just finding it. I wondered why he would feel compelled to seek out the hidden kingdom depicted in the shell. Then I thought, what if his parents had been kidnapped at sea by an evil being, and were being held in some sort of parallel universe? Then he would need to go and rescue them. So that was the genesis of Sea Djinn. I went home and started writing. The beach I walked on is featured in some of my photos. I rename it Shell Beach in my books.
Sea Djinn is the first full-length contemporary children's novel to be written and set in the Middle East.
Set in modern-day Dubai, the Djinn books describe what happens when three young friends – Finn, Fred and Georgina – encounter a real-life Djinn…

|De Luca PA & Vallejo-Marin M (2013) What's the 'buzz' about? The ecology and evolutionary significance of buzz-pollination, Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 16 (4), pp. 429-435.
|Many plant species have evolved floral characteristics that restrict pollen access. Some of these species are visited by insects, principally bees, which make use of vibrations to extract pollen from anthers. Buzz-pollination, as this phenomenon is generally known, is a widespread method of fertilization for thousands of species in both natural and agricultural systems. Despite its prevalence in pollination systems, the ecological and evolutionary conditions that favour the evolution of buzz-pollination are poorly known. We briefly summarize the biology of buzz-pollination and review recent studies on plant and pollinator characteristics that affect pollen removal. We suggest that buzz-pollination evolves as the result of an escalation in the competition between plants and pollen-consuming floral visitors (including pollen thieves and true pollinators) to control the rate of pollen removal from flowers.

An extra seven days of sales in Avnet Technology Solutions' latest full quarterly numbers added some much needed top line meat, cut from demand for networking, storage, security and services.
In the enterprise distie's Q1 of fiscal '16, for the 53 weeks ended 3 October, revenue went up 1.3 per cent to $2.498bn, including $225m turned over in the final week. Excluding those additional 168 hours, year-over-year like-for-like sales declined 7.8 per cent.
The appreciating dollar also shaped the financials but in a bad way – revenues actually grew 7.8 per cent in constant currency.
Broken down by region, Avnet's Americas region was up 5.3 per cent to $1.5bn, grew 2.4 per cent in EMEA to $688.8m (up 16 per cent in constant currency), and declined 16.3 per cent to $300.8m in Asia.
Rick Hamada, CEO, said in a statement that "core data centre solutions" offset a challenging computing components business, one that is being dragged down by weak demand for PCs.
Analysts are forecasting some market shrinkage this year, and multiple vendors are battling the burden of ageing inventory.
Cost cutting, termed by Avnet as "operational expense efficiencies," helped boost operating profit by 19.5 per cent to $74.5m. This was "led by our EMEA region, where operating profit more than doubled from the year ago quarter," said the CEO.
Avnet reckoned the computing components business is stabilising, but said that helping resellers convert more customers to the cloud and data centre products is where the action will be. ®

Goodies to Go (tm)

Goodies to Go (tm)
February 14, 2000--Newsletter #67
Please visit http://www.htmlgoodies.com
Greetings, Weekend Silicon Warriors,
I wanted to let you know that the really smart programmers at Earthweb have begun posting my surveys to the HTML Goodies site. You can only get the survey on the home page and it only offers the survey to every fifth person. Keep an eye out for it and if you're lucky enough to get the survey, let us know your feelings. We'll post five surveys over the next two months. Each will cover a different aspect of Web page design. I'll be using the results of the survey to put together my third book, tentatively titled "Design Goodies".
Did you hear...
Melissa is back. The virus that brought Microsoft along with a few other major corporations to their collective emailed knees popped up again in the state of Washington, shutting down Snohomish County government's e-mail system. Keep those virus protection software packages up to date and don't open any attachments. I've actually stopped opening attachments all together. I tell people to paste the text into the email, or call me as they are sending the file. Picky, yes, but I'm clean.
I bought my wife four packets of bath salts and gels for Valentines Day. Each is an aromatherapy packet that has gels and a candle and a few other items including a face spritzer (of all things). I bought it over the Internet (obviously). Maybe some of you guys did the same. Oooops! According to the "experts" (how do you get THIS job???) giving a "romantic gift" bought on line is a no-no. I guess it's akin to using a buy-one-meal-get-one-free ticket on a first date. You just can't win, you know?
The Travel Industry Association of America reported last week that travel sites on the Web were big business, until it came time to buy. Sites that sell travel packages are finding that the majority of would-be travelers use the Web just to look and research. When it comes time to plop down that big chunk of money for the trip though, they'd rather talk to another human.
Now onto today's topic...
Maybe you might have heard that some of the Web's biggest sites were hit by what are now being termed "cyber- terrorists".
It's pretty scary stuff actually. Not too long ago, I wrote a newsletter of hackers and crackers and how brilliant they are in what they do. Still, the attacks were fairly limited and were more embarrassing than anything else. (You can see the effects of these attacks at the site 2600.com). This form or hack or crack (depending on how you define the term) was hard. You needed to get into the system. The real higher-ups in the brain field of cyberspace were the only ones who could do it.
This latest attack, nick-named "Smurfing," isn't as hard. I had a real Web-wizard explain the process to me and, he said it's something that, relatively, isn't very hard.
Without going into great detail, since that isn't what I want to write about anyway, the attack is pulled through what are known as "pings". The term comes from a tone used by submarine pilots. You can do it yourself. The easiest method is to attach to the Internet and open your DOS window in W95/98. At the prompt, type "ping www.something.com".
A "tone" is sent to the domain and the domain returns the IP number. Once you do it, you'll see all the server's relative information. The Smurf attack used very powerful educational and business computers to fire millions of pings per minute to sites like CNN and eTrade. Where the real server hit occurs is that the ping back from the server doesn't go anywhere. That's part of the attack. The return ping has no destination. The attacked server becomes so overwhelmed that it crashes, or simply stops accepting requests, what is known as a "denial-of-service" error.
It's really a wicked attack because it happens so darn fast and hits so hard. What's more, it didn't take entering the machine. The attack came from outside of the server.
It's so simple it's brilliant. It's so harmful it's scary.
My Web-wizard told me that this kind of attack was forecast a long while back in a report to the U.S. congress. In that report, it is reported that this type of attack actually had the power to bring down the Web. I laughed at his statement and then he explained how hitting certain hubs and areas can clog the entire system.
So, who would do this kind of thing? So many people have said this is just a bunch of smart kids who were just doing it for kicks to impress their other hacker friends. Let's hope that's it. I actually wonder if this isn't the work of what's being termed a "hacktivist".
"Hactivist" is a term that denotes an activist who uses hacking as a means to promoting a cause. Look at the sites that were attacked. Each sold advertising or was involved in eCommerce. I wonder if this isn't someone (or a group) that wants to stop the Web from moving toward a total marketplace.
It's a plausible theory, but I would think that there would be demands being made if that was the case. I'm still leaning towards the kids-having-fun theory...
So, what's an eCommerce site to do? Well, to begin with, they need to beef up their security and have a "cyber- watch" keeping an eye out for hackers. But the best laid plans of mice and men often fail. So, what's next?
Buy insurance.
Since new business ventures open avenues for new types of insurance, enter Fidelity & Deposit (F&D) in Baltimore. F&D offer different types of insurance for the cyber- business on the go. Here's a sampling...
1. Loss of Revenue.
If your site goes down, you lose money. From a simple power outage to a cracker attack, if you go down, you're covered.
2. Loss of Reputation
If your business is harmed, F&D will help pay for Public Relations work to get you back in the commerce good graces.
3. Stolen Secrets and Business Data
How much is your idea worth? Insure it for that amount.
4. Liability
Copyright infringement can cost you big. Be prepared.
Companies are insured anywhere from one to 250 million. Premiums are heavy. Prices can start around 5 grand and go up from there.
Other insurance companies have jumped on the bandwagon and have started offering Web-business insurance. It's nothing I can afford personally, but I can see a major corporation needing it. I would think that two years ago, people would have been much more tolerant of a computer crashing. Today...not a chance. Your server is expected to work.
I have to sell my stock for eight bucks a transaction.
That's that. Thank you again for taking the time to read this newsletter. I appreciate it a great deal.
Joe Burns, Ph.D.

Fake Cop Pulls Woman Over, Rapes Her In Car: Police
The Huffington Post
11/23/2013 11:10 am EST | Updated: 11/23/2013 11:21 am EST
Texas police are searching for a suspect accused of impersonating a police officer and then raping a woman whom he pulled over.
Carrollton Police spokesperson Nicole Rodriguez said the victim was stopped Thursday morning by a suspect wearing a blue uniform with a gold-star badge. He drove a dark-colored car with blue lights on the inside of the windshield. The suspect allegedly posed as a police officer, then handcuffed the victim and sexually assaulted her in the back seat of his vehicle.
In October, Houston police arrested Francisco Jose Ugarte for allegedly impersonating a cop while helping a female motorist. He reportedly drove her to parking lot where he ordered her to disrobe and proceeded to rape her.
Investigators told the Houston Chronicle that Ugarte's calm and convincing demeanor when confronting the victim could mean he has raped other women using a similar method.

"The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care" — Sarah PalinAs Publius points out,Palin is right on one point: "there are people who weigh whether children like Trig are worthy of insurance. They're called insurance companies, and they have decided that these children are not in fact worthy of coverage. That's because Down Syndrome is a 'pre-existing condition'."
What happens if you get someone who, by some dark miracle, actually believes this bilge? That Obama wants to put the weak and unproductive to death via death panels? A credulous, angry fool who also believes that he is not an American, as do 58% of the Republican base. What would you do if you believed, honestly believed, that your country had been usurped by a foreigner, as part of a vast conspiracy to subvert the fabric of your country from within, and was now planning to exterminate your children and grandparents via a 'death panel'? You would try and take him out. Of course you would. It would be the only decent, patriotic thing to do.* With former vie presidential candidates now lending their name to this garbage, it's only a matter of time.
*Obama is the target of more than 30 death threats a day — up 400% from President Bush.

Bloomington, Indiana: Banner drop in solidarity with Fernando Bárcenas (USA)
Thursday, February 18th, 2016
Responding to the call for solidarity with Fernando Bárcenas, we hung a
banner with words of support for our comrade. Fernando is an anarchist
imprisoned by the Mexican state for burning a Coca-Cola tree during a
demonstration against the rise of Metro ticket prices.
We hope that small gestures like these will accumulate and spread,
contributing to an anarchist internationalism that seeks to destroy the
walls of borders and prisons alike.
Against all states, against all prisons!
Solidarity with Fernando and all rebellious prisoners!

Living Up To The Name, Guerrero (Mexico)
Saturday, February 21st, 2015
Here is an overview that we were sent reporting on some recent events in Guerrero, written by a Mexican anarchist living in the U$A
Guerrero, considered to be one of the most violent states in Mexico, seems to be in a never ending state of chaos. Murders in the beach resort town of Acapulco, the capital city Chilpancingo, multiple clandestine grave sites and of course, the Iguala massacre. Estado Fallido, failed state, is constantly used to describe Mexico, but especially Guerrero. No doubts there, police involvement in many heinous crimes, politicians and political parties working hand in hand with organized crime. A failed state, but what is a functioning state?

Anarchist comrade Fernando Barcenas Castillo sentenced to 5 years, 9 months (Mexico)
Thursday, December 11th, 2014
A few days fulfilled a year to the arrest of Fernando Barcenas Castillo after a march against the rising of the price of metro tickets, where the Christmas tree owned by the Coca-Cola multinational was burned. Today the sentence was dictated to the comrade- 5 years, 9 months for the crime of attacks against the public peace, so he misses bail.
At a time when the Mexican government is intensifying its repressive methods, certainly the sentence to Fernando is looking to send a message to inhibit the growing signs of discontent. That is why it is important to continue fighting for the freedom of our imprisoned comrades, do not let them go into oblivion.
Continue demonstrating that solidarity is more than a written word.
Freedom to Fernando Barcenas !
Solidarity with Carlos, Amelie and Fallon !
Freedom to Abraham and Luis Fernando !
Down the prison walls !

"Green Nemesis" project: Sabotage against Coca-cola & Nestle products by FAI/IRF (Greece)
Wednesday, January 1st, 2014
from InterArma, click for video and picture.
We break the silence. Our life looks like a frozen product ready to be sold. We live in the concrete metropolises of your civilization, we submissively execute the orders of the managers, the bosses, the superiors, we operate like programmed robots, we breathe the polluted air of your factories, we wander and die on the high speed highways of your commodities, we believe in the false avatars of wealth, we desire what the advertisements command us to desire, we fall in love via screens, we communicate via keyboards, we imprison ourselves inside walls and storefronts, serial numbers and barcodes. That's it… We break free from your prison. We are aware of the fact that everybody talks today about the financial crisis' curse. The preachers of politics are attempting to rectify the numbers, to improve statistics, to invent the social formulas of treatment and promises of salvation.
Nobody mentions, however, that economy, the domination of wealth in social relationships, is an achievement of civilization that you taught and fed us with, all these years.
Meanwhile, nobody seems concerned about the murder of nature, the torture and killing of the animals and generally about the extermination of the human being itself caused by the totalitarianism of science of technology, its laboratory experiments, the nuclear energy, the radioactive "accidents", the GE products, the cannibalism of massive meat production industry, the pollution of the oceans, the chemical weapons, the genetic manipulation, the deforestation… (more…)

Guayaquil: Bruno Fillipi Cell of Iconoclastic Individuals of FAI/IRF attacks Coca Cola bottling industry (Ecuador)
Thursday, May 24th, 2012
From culmine, transl waronsociety:
22 May 2012
I'd like to lay down in a soft bed, fragranced with roses…
"Watch out for thorns," they tell me.
And what do I care? Given that thorns are not lacking in life,
I prefer those of roses that give so much joy along with the pain.
Today, Tuesday May 22nd 2012, at 3:00 AM we placed an explosive device which contained 3 sticks of dynamite in the electric energy source of one of the primary vertebrae of the capitalist system: the bottling industry of "Coca-Cola" located on Av. Juan Tanca Marengo Km 4.5 in the city of Guayaquil.
We have heard it and read it, that phrase resonating every time greater in our heads, and in this opportunity as in the future ones, we neither image nor want nor could remain paralyzed: This time upright, proud and dignified we furiously add our cry to the unison of the indomitable spirits: "NO WARRIOR IS ALONE."
That no warrior is alone, that solidarity between anarchists is more than a written word, that memory is never lost!, we go due to the same sense that those words draw out in us, because it is the voice of our brothers and sisters who call to us, it is the blood that demands to be liberated, that ferociously shouts and wildly revenges, and again we cannot nor want to be deaf to that voice.
Since 2009, May 22 will never be a normal day, it cannot be a normal day for those who declare themselves in permanent war on the system, it will never be a normal day for those who feel close to one who gave expression to his life with the same attack, to the indomitable contradiction: to MAURICIO MORALES DUARTE, Punki Mauri; who — like each one of those who delve into the attacks against power — knew the fate that is latent in this, here there are only two certain ways: "DEATH OR PRISON." And he took it on as such, as the inevitable, without lowering the gaze, without doubt, without casting lots. In the same way that we carry the whole soul tattooed in our principles.
Beautiful and voracious is the way of this war, beautiful and voracious in all its branches and in all its tactics, inaccessible to the bland in spirit and idea. For them only remains the "elite critique," the university reasoning, the non-life of citizenry, the work with the enemy.
There are certain individuals or cells who loudly proclaim: "we do not need dates," "we are the negation of sense" or etc. Well who cares, regardless of whether one believes each cell or individual, we do not remain calm on this and other days when our brothers and sisters have fallen, when the powder, the dynamite, the anfo, the books and bullets do not suffice us, because they are part of us and because at the time we are all part of a legacy of indomitable and implacable spirits who decisively confront authority.
On this occasion we also want to greet the compas of the CCF; Eat and Billy; Rami Syrianos; compa Tortuga and the compas in Chile; the cells that don't give up in Chile, Greece, Bolivia, Peru and Italy; the prisoners everywhere and those who have gone into clandestinity, strength for all of you!
Punki Mauri, your desire for freedom is a bomb that is contagious!
We walk in the night
with a sun in our minds
and with two great stars of gold
at our burning eyes
Bruno Fillipi Cell of Iconoclastic Individuals
Very proud members of the FAI-FRI

Tomorrow is Dylan's first day in childcare and I'm feeling a flurry of emotions. I'm nervous he's going to be scared, I'm scared he's going to feel abandoned, I'm worried that they won't know his cues, and I'm terrified because it's a first for the both of us. In a perfect world, I would be the one on the floor playing with Dylan, reading him Dr. Seuss, and singing itsy-bitsy-spider. I toyed with the idea of quitting my job and staying at home, but the thought of being at the mercy of a tight budget quickly sent that idea into a tailspin. I'm not great with money, I have zero patience for clearance hunting, and I am certainly not ready to become a shell of financial induced stress for the sake of being a helicopter mom.
But if I allow myself to dig a little, there are a lot of positives buried beneath my daycare apprehensions. Like the fact that Dylan is going to be in a structured environment where he will socialize with other babies, engage in activities that encourage development, and will be challenged to become a little more independent by trained professionals. So in a way, I am excited. I want the best for Dylan and my mama bear ways tell me that this could be a great move. But it didn't come easy. The cost of daycare is understandably high, and in order to minimize the financial impact, I forfeited my three-day weekends and will be working Monday's again. I have enjoyed mommy Monday's and it wasn't easy to give them up but there's no limit to what a mother will sacrifice for the greater good of her child. And the peace of mind a fancy schmancy childcare program offers this paranoid protector is worth its weight in gold. So it will be fine. Right?

Judge Blocks City's Homeless-Shelter Policy
A state judge on Tuesday blocked a planned change in eligibility rules for single adults seeking entry into New York City's homeless shelters, marking yet another setback for Mayor Michael Bloomberg's controversial policies on homelessness.
The ruling nullifies a new city policy, first made public in November but not yet implemented, that would turn away single adults from shelters unless they demonstrate that they have no other housing options. State Supreme Court Justice Judith Gische faulted the city's failure to vet its new policy before the public and the City Council, in violation of the requirements of the City Charter.
But the judge did not rule on the merits of the homeless-shelter restriction. The city plans to appeal the decision.
Seth Diamond, commissioner of the city's Department of Homeless Services, noted that the ruling does not "make any determinations about its legality."

One of his favourite Sri Lankan dishes is actually a combination of several dishes. It's called Lampries. So when we last visited him, he decided to use as kitchen hands to make a big batch of the dish.
The guru of Asian cuisine and writer of several quintessential books, Charmaine Solomon, describes Lampries as a 'festive meal' which is made for special occasions. Essentially, it's like a Sri Lankan TV dinner, featuring a fragrant curry, rich ghee rice, sambals and pickles and some fried meatballs. Traditionally they are wrapped up in banana leaves but its easier and more practical to use foil.
With so many components in the Lampries we cooked them all over two days. The recipes were very detailed. Charmaine Solomon's The Complete Asian Cookbook seems to be a bit of an institution in Australian kitchens. For some reason, this cook book must have been given to all housewives in the 1970s as a standard issue book - but it keeps getting re-released in newer editions. Here's a photo of my mum's version, which is at least four decades old (it smells like a school library book!)
The recipes in the Sri Lankan section of the book are, in my view, the best - probably because Charmaine Solomon is actually of Sri Lankan background.
I was really blown away by two of the pickles in particular so I've included some recipes below. Each are adapted from The Complete Asian Cookbook by Charmaine Solomon. I've also included some descriptions and photos of the other components.
The Eggplant Pickle
A pickle featuring fried eggplant! You just can't go wrong!
This is the first of the three preserves/sambals that were included, and is probably the most involved of the three. The salting of the eggplant draws out all of the moisture and any bitterness from the flesh.
This pickle would go fantastically with all types of curries, and would add a good flavour hit to an ordinary sandwich.
Eggplant Pickle Recipe
(Inspired an adapted from The Complete Asian Cookbook by Charmaine Solomon)
What you need:
- 2 teaspoons of sugar;
- 1 teaspoon of chilli powder;
- a stick of cinnamon;
- 3 green chillies, with seeds, sliced;
- 3/4 cup of hot water;
- 1/2 cup of tamarind pulp;
- 1 teaspoon of ground fennel;
- 2 teaspoons of ground cumin;
- 1 tablespoon of ground coriander;
- 1 tablespoon of grated ginger;
- 5 garlic cloves, sliced;
- 1 medium brown onion, finely chopped;
- 1/2 cup of malt vinegar;
- 1 tablespoon of black mustard seeds;
- 2 teaspoons of ground turmeric;
- Vegetable oil for frying;
- 2 teaspoons of salt;
- 2 large eggplants, sliced into discs.
The pickling process:
- Salting the eggplant: Sprinkle salt on all of the discs of eggplant along with some turmeric. This will draw the moisture out of the eggplants. Set aside in a colander for an hour.
- Making the paste: Put mustard seeds and vinegar into a food processor and blitz until the seeds are ground. Then add in the onions, garlic and ginger and blitz the mixture again until you get a thick paste. Set aside.
- Frying the eggplant: Heat about an inch of oil in a pan and fry the eggplant discs in batches until they are brown on both sides. Reserve half a cup of the cooking oil for later. Place the cooked eggplant on some paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Toasting spices: Place the coriander, cumin and fennel into a dry small pan and toast on a low heat until fragrant.
- Tamarind pulp: Put the tamarind pulp into the 3/4 cup of hot water. Strain and discard the seeds. Reserve the liquid. (You can also buy tamarind liquid from some Asian food stores. This would eliminate this step).
- Frying the paste: Place the reserved oil into a pan, and fry the blended paste for five minutes.
- Adding the rest into the mix: Then add in the toasted spices, chillies, cinnamon, chilli powder and tamarind liquid. Also add in the fried eggplant. Mix everything up and allow to simmer (covered) for 15 minutes.
- Sugar: Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sugar.
- Storage: Place the eggplant pickle into sterilised jars. This should keep for several weeks in the fridge.
Chilli Sambal
This sambal is extremely versatile and I think it would be great with a lot of other asian foods - like on the side of a Hainanese chicken rice, or as a sauce for some roti or shallot pancakes.
(Inspired an adapted from The Complete Asian Cookbook by Charmaine Solomon)
What you need:
- 4 medium brown onions, finely chopped;
- 1/2 cup of peanut oil;
- 2 teaspoons of chilli powder;
- 200g of 'prawns in spices';
- 2 tablespoons of malt vinegar;
- a pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoons of sugar.
Making the sambal:
- Slowly fry the onions in the oil for about 10 minutes until soft and golden brown. Ensure that hte onions don't burn.
- Once the onions are brown, add in the chilli powder, the malt vinegar and the 'prawns in spices'. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Uncover the pan and then reduce the sambal until the liquid evaporates and the oil starts to separate from the other ingredients.
- Season to taste and then store in a jar.
Lampries Curry
Four types of meat in one curry - this is my dream curry, it's almost as if I had written the recipe! We made the curry a couple of nights before we ate the lampries. The base flavour of the curry is a Sri Lankan curry powder which made the curry unbelievably fragrant.
The meats are boiled first - which I found a bit unusual, but then the stock that is left over after the boiling is used for the ghee rice, which makes the rice intensely rich and savoury. The meats are then chopped up into small pieces and mixed together - in the end it's hard to determine what kind of meat you're eating, but after all of the cooking, all of the meats are really very tender.
Prawn Blanchan
This is the most unusual feature of the Lampries. The prawn blanchan is made up of shrimp flakes (which was another ingredient unknown to me before I made Lampries), toasted dessicated coconut, chilli powder, tumeric and lime juice. First you toast the flakes and the coconut to intensify their flavour. These dry ingredients form a thick paste when blended together with the other ingredients and you put a teaspoon of it in each Lampries parcel. It imparts a fishy fragrance throughout the parcel and is the saltiest condiement in the Lampries. I thought it was really delicious, but I was told that a lot of other people find it overpowering.
Crumbed, fried meatballs - spiced heavily with clove, and Worcestershire sauce. These tasty morsels are a leftover from the Dutch rule of Sri Lanka. They're described in Charmaine Solomon's book as "Dutch Forcemeat Balls". I'm not entirely sure what 'forcemeat' is, but it's delicious!
Ghee Rice
The ghee rice is actually one of my favourite parts of the Lampries. I've never had rice so flavourful, but I guess that's what happens when you cook rice in clarified butter and a stock made from four types of meat. The cloves, cardamom and cinnamon make this rice pleasantly fragrant too, and then the spoon of coconut milk over the rice before you wrap the Lampries, makes the rice nice and creamy.
Serving the Lampries
To serve, you can reheat the Lampries parcels (which could have been in the fridge or freezer) in an oven at about 180 degrees Celsius for about 20-30 minutes, until heated right through.
In terms of side dishes, we had some mango chutney, some sliced tomato and cucumber, a cooling raita using homemade yoghurt (stay tuned for a recipe), some sliced banana with lemon juice and
coconut, (weird but actually works!) and a dish called Mallung, which is a vegetable dish consisting of wilted shredded green leaves with coconut and other spices. We used beetroot leaves in the Mallung, which were delicious.
It really is a great meal, and luckily I've got a few parcels in the freezer, which we're saving up for the next time we get a Lampries craving...

Apple to Extend AT&T's iPhone Exclusivity Deal?
AT&T's iPhone exclusivity deal with Apple is set to expire as early as next year, but that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be renewed–despite complaints about the carrier's network. That's the word from iSuppli, which predicts Apple will extend its agreement with AT&T because it has no reason not to.
"Speculation is rife that Apple will end its exclusive U.S. iPhone service deal with AT&T when the current contract expires in June 2010 and begin to offer phones that work with the Verizon network," iSuppli analyst Francis Sideco said in a research note today. "However, iSuppli doesn't believe this will be the case. The main reason Apple is likely to stick with AT&T beyond 2010 is the relatively wide usage and growth expected for the HSPA air standard used by the carrier for 3G data."
As Sideco explains, "Cumulative global subscribers of HSPA wireless services, consisting of High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), are set to rise to 1.4 billion in 2012, up from 269.1 million in 2009. In contrast, cumulative subscribers for the EVDO standard used by Verizon will amount to 304.6 million in 2013, up from 145.2 million in 2009."
A point worth noting, though it's hard to imagine that Apple (AAPL) doesn't harbor some resentment toward AT&T (T), which has undermined its carefully crafted iPhone experience. And if that's the case, wouldn't it make more sense for the company to extend its deal with AT&T, but not as an exclusive? That would allow Apple to hammer out a second deal with Verizon (VZ), which, according to some analysts, would more than double U.S. iPhone sales in the near term.
As Bernstein Research analyst Toni Sacconaghi noted this summer, "Verizon's postpaid subscriber base is not only larger than AT&T's, but more importantly, is untapped whereas we estimate more than 10 percent of AT&T's postpaid users already have an iPhone."

So as I sit here at the house, trying to write, trying to focus on something, I realize that I'm having a blue day. I'm not depressed – I've been there and I recognize what that feels like – just a little blue. Maybe it's the weather – a little gray, cool again, and a dreary Saturday, though it's only our Thursday. I'm just a little melancholy. I miss my friends, I miss my family. I was scrolling through my myspace (which I don't use much anymore) comments looking for a gif from a few years ago. Just seeing the messages from the people who I love and miss. And then on my facebook, seeing messages, mostly from Josh's family – a part of which I feel very close to and am wanting to spend more time with. It's continually harder to be settled here because I know that the move is coming up. We have 14 days left on our birth control. I've got to have a check up and make sure everything is in order. I'm so excited about having babies and extending our family (since we started it the day we got married).
Well, the hubs should be off work now and calling to let me know he's on his way home. Maybe cuddling for a little while will make me feel better.

In recent years, a tremendous number of multimedia applications have come into widespread use in Internet environments. In multimedia communications, data, video and voice are transmitted through high speed networks. Their common transmission characteristics must satisfy the requirements of quality of service (QoS). For instance, low delay, bounded blocking rate and high throughput are fundamental factors influencing QoS. There exist many scheduling disciplines designed to guarantee QoS. In QoS guarantees, delay and loss are the main factors determining system performance. In voice transmission over the Internet (VoIP), latency is the most sensitive issue. In this paper, we focus on optimal system delay calculations based on proper bandwidth allocations. We address the problems related to the total system delay required for optimization and present a blocking probability estimation based on the large deviation principle (by LDP). More bandwidth can decrease the value of the delay, but more system resources will be exhausted. Less bandwidth may cause traffic to become congested. Schemes improve the performance when congestion occurs is not intelligent. Therefore searching for an efficient scheme to achieve optimal bandwidth allocation based on the minimum delay before congestion occurs is an important research goal. We use the Lagrange multiplier methods to achieve the optimal delay control in this paper. The system resources are dynamically adjusted according to different bandwidth requirements. Our contribution to the optimal delay is bounded as a function of the ratio of the input stream rate to the service rate, and a quick calculation for estimating the blocking probability accompanied by effective bandwidth calculations under some constraints is also provided. It is proved that a unique optimal solution exists. The technology presented here can be used by resource managers to design gateways for Internet environments.

Beyond Exact Match Anchor Text To Next Generation Link SignalsBlog Post: September 08, 2011
I totally think that Search Engines will be considering page context to a greater degree in the future. I think that's what Schema.org will do for them. I don't think they are anywhere near being able to determine page context at all at this moment though.
In the mean time, take what you can get in the way of anchor text - even if its just the companies name that they already rank number one for. Exact, Partial or at least in the thematic neighborhood is the way to go at this point.

This article is part of the NOFA Vermont Dairy and Livestock Technical Assistance Program.
Click here to jump to our Winter Conference offerings for dairy and livestock farmers.
We recently shared some resources for mastitis prevention. But what to do when cows do get a clinical or subclinical udder infection?
Subclinical mastitis can show up as an increase in the SCC (somatic cell count) without visual signs of mastitis. Clinical mastitis will include visual changes in the milk or udder swelling.
When a cow has clinical mastitis, treatment suggestions that Dr. Guy Jodarski, staff veterinarian for Organic Valley/CROPP Cooperative, discussed in a recent webinar include:
- frequent stripping
- vitamin & mineral supplements
- allowed synthetics including fluids, aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs
- biologics (such as immunoboost) and vaccines
- herbs including antibacterial tinctures
- topicals (essential oils)
- whey products – made from colostrum
- antioxidants
- homeopathy
Some synthetic medications are allowed for use on organic livestock; for acute mastitis cases these include Banamine (Flunixin) and aspirin. Electrolytes (such as CMPK or hypertonic saline), along with injectable vitamins, are also used by some veterinarians.
Before treating an animal, check the 2014 Organic Livestock Healthcare List or contact the VOF certification office to be sure the treatment is approved for use. It is important to keep records of what treatments are used, and to withhold milk when required by the organic standards.
As there's no single silver bullet treatment for mastitis, each farm will find a few products from this list that work for their management system.
A good relationship with the veterinarian can make being certified organic easier! Your veterinarian can help you understand what treatments to use, develop a better prevention plan, and keep better records.
For more information on organic production, herd health, and other technical assistance available from NOFA Vermont, contact Sam Fuller, Program Coordinator, at 802-434-4122 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I thought 'The Artist' was a perfect way to find a good balance. The artistic challenge is obvious because the film is black-and-white and its silent, but I did my best to make the movie accessible and easy to watch. I really don't want to make elitist movies. I really try hard to work for the audience. Audiences are smart. They get everything.

text: World 29 April 2002 Secrets and spies Observations - Plane-spotters Sign-up Nobody knows whether we'll ever learn the real story of the 12 British plane-spotters thrust into the cloak-and-dagger world of Greek espionage. "What is being played out in public is just one-third of the story," says their Athenian lawyer, Yiannis Zacharias. "Nearly all my time is spent dealing with the other two-thirds of the story, the bit that nobody wants to come out. The bit that is being played backstage." The Britons, accused of spying on military installations during their tour of Greece last year, are the first foreigners to be charged with spying in Greece since the mid-1950s. "There is only a certain amount that we would want to discuss publicly," one senior government source confided. "And that has not helped our really very embarrassing handling of the affair." From the start, the saga raised two delicate matters: how far foreigners should be allowed to "observe" - and record those observations in the public domain; and to what extent Europeans really want, or are trying to understand, one another as members of the same club. Greeks were clearly baffled by the northern Europeans' arcane passion for plane-spotting. If the Greeks had been more interested in the affair - local reaction has been noticeably nonchalant - they would have seen their country being portrayed back in Britain as little better than a banana republic, with an antediluvian justice system and hell-holes for jails. Yet the likes of Donald Holder, the British consul, regarded the jails as more than "satisfactory"; and when Lesley Coppin, the only woman in the group, complained of being cold, the Greek foreign minister's top aide rushed her an assortment of woollies. Few, including the plane-spotters' greatest champions, would deny that their actions were ill-advised. As Zacharias puts it, the aviation enthusiasts "did not help themselves" by failing to disclose all of their moves, not least a visit to one top-secret airbase where they had filled their notebooks with serial numbers. The failure of Paul Coppin, the leader of the group, to reveal a visit to Turkey - his family claims he was invited by the Turkish government as an accredited aviation journalist - also stoked suspicions. The Daily Mail, which campaigned for the 12 from the start, apparently knew of this. But the reporter despatched to cover the case admitted - once the group had been freed on bail - that he had "not seen the importance" of that particular fact. It would have spoiled the story - the real story of the plane-spotters that we may never know.
