After a Tornado
Injury may result from the direct impact of a tornado, or it may occur afterward when people walk among debris and enter damaged buildings. A study of injuries after a tornado in Marion, Illinois, showed that 50 percent of the tornado-related injuries were suffered during rescue attempts, cleanup, and other post-tornado activities. Nearly a third of the injuries resulted from stepping on nails. Other common causes of injury included falling objects and heavy, rolling objects. Because tornadoes often damage power lines, gas lines, or electrical systems, there is a risk of fire, electrocution, or an explosion. Protecting yourself and your family requires promptly treating any injuries suffered during the storm and using extreme care to avoid further hazards.
Check for injuries. Do not attempt to move seriously injured people unless they are in immediate danger of further injury. Get medical assistance immediately. If someone has stopped breathing, begin CPR if you are trained to do so. Stop a bleeding injury by applying direct pressure to the wound. Clean out all open wounds and cuts with soap and clean water. Apply an antibiotic ointment. Contact a doctor to find out whether more treatment is needed (such as a tetanus shot). If a wound gets red, swells, or drains, seek immediate medical attention. Have any puncture wound evaluated by a physician. If you are trapped, try to attract attention to your location.
Here are some safety precautions that could help you avoid injury after a tornado:
- Continue to monitor your battery-powered radio or television for emergency information.
- Be careful when entering any structure that has been damaged.
- Wear sturdy shoes or boots, long sleeves, and gloves when handling or walking on or near debris.
- Be aware of hazards from exposed nails and broken glass.
- Do not touch downed power lines or objects in contact with downed lines. Report electrical hazards to the police and the utility company.
- Use battery-powered lanterns, if possible, rather than candles to light homes without electrical power. If you use candles, make sure they are in safe holders away from curtains, paper, wood, or other flammable items. Never leave a candle burning when you are out of the room.
- Never use generators, pressure washers, grills, camp stoves, or other gasoline, propane, natural gas, or charcoal-burning devices inside your home, basement, garage, or camper—or even outside near an open window, door, or vent. Carbon monoxide (CO)--an odorless, colorless gas that can cause sudden illness and death if you breathe it--from these sources can build up in your home, garage, or camper and poison the people and animals inside. Seek prompt medical attention if you suspect CO poisoning and are feeling dizzy, light-headed, or nauseated.
- Hang up displaced telephone receivers that may have been knocked off by the tornado, but stay off the telephone, except to report an emergency.
- Cooperate fully with public safety officials.
- Respond to requests for volunteer assistance by police, fire fighters, emergency management, and relief organizations, but do not go into damaged areas unless assistance has been requested. Your presence could hamper relief efforts, and you could endanger yourself.
- After a tornado, be aware of possible structural, electrical, or gas-leak hazards in your home. Contact your local city or county building inspectors for information on structural safety codes and standards. They may also offer suggestions on finding a qualified contractor to do work for you.
- In general, if you suspect any damage to your home, shut off electrical power, natural gas, and propane tanks to avoid fire, electrocution, or explosions.
- If it is dark when you are inspecting your home, use a flashlight rather than a candle or torch to avoid the risk of fire or explosion in a damaged home.
- If you see frayed wiring or sparks, or if there is an odor of something burning, you should immediately shut off the electrical system at the main circuit breaker if you have not done so already.
- If you smell gas or suspect a leak, turn off the main gas valve, open all windows, and leave the house immediately. Notify the gas company, the police or fire departments, or State Fire Marshal's office, and do not turn on the lights, light matches, smoke, or do anything that could cause a spark. Do not return to your house until you are told it is safe to do so.
- Wear sturdy shoes or boots, long sleeves, and gloves.
- Learn proper safety procedures and operating instructions before operating any gas-powered or electric-powered saws or tools.
- Clean up spilled medicines, drugs, flammable liquids, and other potentially hazardous materials.
After a tornado, children may be afraid the storm will come back again and they will be injured or left alone. Children may even interpret disasters as punishment for real or imagined misdeeds. Explain that a tornado is a natural event.
Children will be less likely to experience prolonged fear or anxiety if they know what to expect after a tornado. Here are some suggestions:
- Talk about your own experiences with severe storms, or read aloud a book about tornadoes.
- Encourage your child to express feelings of fear. Listen carefully and show understanding.
- Offer reassurance. Tell your child that the situation is not permanent, and provide physical reassurance through time spent together and displays of affection.
- Include your child in clean-up activities. It is comforting to children to watch the household begin to return to normal and to have a job to do.
NOTE: Symptoms of anxiety may not appear for weeks or even months after a tornado; they can affect people of any age. If anxiety disrupts daily activities for any member of your family, seek professional assistance through a school counselor, community religious organization, your physician, or a licensed professional. Counselors are listed under Mental Health Services in the yellow pages of your telephone directory.


are dropped. Subject space has as many actual, non-redundent dimensions as the corresponding variable space has. So "space X" is plane. If we add +1 dimension (to cover F), the whole configuration will be singular, unsolvable. F always extends out of variable space. $\endgroup$ – ttnphns Apr 27 '14 at 1:46
"Explaining covariance" vs. explaining variance
Bishop actually means a very simple thing. Under the factor analysis model (eq. 12.64) $$p(\mathbf x|\mathbf z) = \mathcal N(\mathbf x | \mathbf W \mathbf z + \boldsymbol \mu, \boldsymbol \Psi)$$ the covariance matrix of $\mathbf x$ is going to be (eq. 12.65) $$\mathbf C = \mathbf W \mathbf W^\top + \boldsymbol \Psi.$$ This is essentially what factor analysis does: it finds a matrix of loadings and a diagonal matrix of uniquenesses such that the actually observed covariance matrix $\boldsymbol \Sigma$ is as well as possible approximated by $\mathbf C$: $$\boldsymbol \Sigma \approx \mathbf W \mathbf W^\top + \boldsymbol \Psi.$$ Notice that diagonal elements of $\mathbf C$ will be exactly equal to the diagonal elements of $\boldsymbol \Sigma$ because we can always choose the diagonal matrix $\boldsymbol \Psi$ such that the reconstruction error on the diagonal is zero. The real challenge is then to find loadings $\mathbf W$ that would well approximate the off-diagonal part of $\boldsymbol \Sigma$.
The off-diagonal part of $\boldsymbol \Sigma$ consists of covariances between variables; hence Bishop's claim that factor loadings are capturing the covariances. The important bit here is that factor loadings do not care at all about individual variances (diagonal of $\boldsymbol \Sigma$).
In contrast, PCA loadings $\widetilde {\mathbf W}$ are eigenvectors of the covariance matrix $\boldsymbol \Sigma$ scaled up by square roots of their eigenvalues. If only $m

A project that seeks to use Wyoming coal that's buried too deep underground for conventional mining is one step closer to becoming a reality.
The Department of Environmental Quality has put Linc Energy's proposed underground coal gasification project up for public review. The process involves drilling thousands of feet below the surface into deep coal seams, and then igniting them, and capturing the gases that are produced. Those can then be converted into synthetic natural gas, chemicals like ammonia or fertilizer, or liquid fuels.

Fossil word
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A fossil word is a word that is generally obsolete but remains in currency because it is contained within an idiom still in use.[1][2]
Fossil status can also occur for word senses and for phrases. An example for a word sense is navy in merchant navy, which means 'commercial fleet' (although that sense of navy is obsolete elsewhere). An example for a phrase is in point ('relevant'), which is retained in the larger phrases case in point (also case on point in the legal context) and in point of fact but is not otherwise used outside of a legal context.

5.6.6 Using Command Files
A command file is a DECTPU source file that can contain procedures, key definitions, and other DECTPU executable statements. You can have any number of command files in your directory. You might want to write one command file that customizes your editor for programming in Pascal, another command file that customizes your editor for text editing, and so on. If you have several command files, give them names that remind you of their contents. If you have one command file that you use most of the time, name it TPU$COMMAND.TPU.
The command to invoke DECTPU with a command file is:
$ EDIT/TPU/COMMAND [[= filespec]]
If you name your command file TPU$COMMAND.TPU and it is in your default directory, DECTPU reads the file by default, without your having to use the /COMMAND qualifier. If you name your file something other than TPU$COMMAND.TPU, or if you put it in a directory other than your default directory, you must use the /COMMAND qualifier explicitly and provide a full file specification after the qualifier.
DECTPU reads a command file, compiles it, and executes any commands that do not contain syntax errors. If there are errors, DECTPU writes an error message to the message area. The command file can customize or extend the application implemented by the section file with which you invoked DECTPU.
Example 5-6 is a sample DECTPU command file that defines a procedure that moves the editing point to the beginning of a segment of text delimited by the characters %(/* at the beginning and */)% at the end.
Example 5-6 Command File for GOTO_TEXT_MARKER
PROCEDURE goto_text_marker
 LOCAL text_marker_pattern,
 text_marker_pattern := '%(/*' + MATCH ('*/)%');
 text_marker_range := SEARCH_QUIETLY (text_marker_pattern,
 GET_INFO (CURRENT_BUFFER, "direction"));
 IF text_marker_range <> 0
 POSITION (text_marker_range);
 MESSAGE ("Text_marker not found");
 RETURN text_marker_range;
If you name the file that contains this procedure TEXT_MARKERS.TPU, you can invoke DECTPU with EVE and your command file with the following command:
$ EDIT/TPU/COMMAND=device:[directory]text_markers.tpu
If you add procedures or statements to the command file TEXT_MARKERS.TPU, place all procedures before any individual statements that are not listed within a procedure (for example, key definitions to move to the next text marker).
Remember to name your variables and procedures so they do not conflict with DECTPU reserved words and predefined identifiers. Compaq recommends that you prefix your variable and procedure names with three letters (your initials, for example) followed by an underscore (_).
5.6.7 Using EVE Initialization Files
An initialization file is a file that contains commands to be executed by an application. Any application layered on DECTPU can support initialization files.
With EVE initialization files, you can do the following:
 - Use EVE commands in a startup file to customize editing sessions
 - Set formats for individual buffers
EVE initialization files contain EVE commands that are executed either when you invoke the editor or when you issue the EVE @ (at sign) command.
To create an EVE initialization file, put in the file the EVE commands you want to use to customize the editor. Use one command on each line and one line for each command. Do not separate the commands with semicolons. If a command in an EVE initialization file is incomplete, EVE prompts you for more information, the same as if you were typing the command during an editing session. Comments in EVE initialization files must be on lines separate from commands and must begin with an exclamation point (!). You cannot nest EVE initialization files. Do not use the DO command in an EVE initialization file.
The following sample initialization file sets left and right margins, establishes overstrike mode, binds the QUIT command to the GOLD/Q key sequence, and enables an EDT-like keypad:
SET KEYPAD EDT Using an EVE Initialization File at Startup
You can cause an initialization file to be executed in any of the following ways when you invoke EVE:
 - Name the file EVE$INIT.EVE. This is the default file name for EVE initialization files.
 - Specify the name of the initialization file as a qualifier to the EDIT/TPU command.
 - Define a logical name, EVE$INIT, to point to your initialization file.
The first and third methods are appropriate if you intend to use one initialization file most of the time to customize your editing sessions. If you name the file EVE$INIT.EVE and do not specify another EVE initialization file on the command line, EVE automatically executes that file when you invoke DECTPU.
Use the second method to control which initialization file EVE executes to customize the editing session. For example, if you have an EVE$INIT file but want to use another initialization file, specify the other file by using the /INITIALIZATION qualifier to EDIT/TPU. To specify an initialization file called MY_INIT.EVE, enter the following command string on the command line:
EVE always executes the initialization file specified on the command line, if such a file is present. If no file is specified on the command line, EVE searches for EVE$INIT.EVE first in the current directory and then in your login area. If EVE finds EVE$INIT.EVE, it executes that file. If the file is not found, the editor checks whether the logical name EVE$INIT has been defined.
If you plan to create several initialization files and to use them equally, you may not want to name one of the files EVE$INIT. For example, if you want one initialization file to set narrow margins and another to set wide margins, create both files and specify the file you want when you invoke EVE. Using an EVE Initialization File During an Editing Session
To execute an EVE initialization file during an editing session, use the @ (at sign) command and specify the file. For example, the following command executes an initialization file called MYEVE.EVE in your current (default) directory.
Command: _USER_
Commands for buffer settings apply to the current buffer. This is effectively the same as typing the commands that the file contains. You may want to create initialization files to execute two or more related commands, such as resetting both margins. How an EVE Initialization File Affects Buffer Settings
Commands in an EVE initialization file that set buffer characteristics (such as margins and tab stops) affect a system buffer named $DEFAULTS$. Buffers created during the editing session have the same settings as $DEFAULTS$. For example, if your initialization file contains the command SET RIGHT MARGIN 65, the value 65 is used as the right margin setting for the main buffer and for any buffers you create during the session with GET FILE or BUFFER commands.
To see the settings for the $DEFAULTS$ buffer, use the EVE command SHOW DEFAULTS BUFFER. For example, if you want to know what the tab settings are for the $DEFAULTS$ buffer, type the following command:
This command causes EVE to show buffer information in a format similar to the format in Example 5-7 (using values that apply to your editing session).
Example 5-7 SHOW DEFAULTS BUFFER Display
 EVE V3.1 1993-08-17 08:47
 Information about buffer $DEFAULTS$
 Not modified Left margin set to: 1
 Mode: Insert Right margin set to: 79
 Paragraph indent: none WPS word wrap indent: none
 Read-only Unmodifiable
 Direction: Forward
 Max lines: no limit
 Tab stops set every 8 columns.
 Word wrap: on
To change the characteristics of the $DEFAULTS$ buffer during an editing session, use the command BUFFER $DEFAULTS$ to put the defaults buffer in a window. This buffer is empty and you cannot add text to it. However, when you change the settings of the $DEFAULTS$ buffer, the changes are saved and used to set the characteristics of any user buffers you create.
Use commands such as SET RIGHT MARGIN, SET LEFT MARGIN, SET TABS, FORWARD, REVERSE, INSERT, or OVERSTRIKE to change the characteristics of the $DEFAULTS$ buffer. The new characteristics are applied to new buffers but not to existing ones. To leave the $DEFAULTS$ buffer and put a different buffer in the window, use the BUFFER command.
5.7 Debugging DECTPU Programs
This section discusses the options you have for debugging DECTPU programs.
To debug DECTPU programs, you can do one of the following:
 - Write your own debugger in the DECTPU language. This is discussed in Section 5.7.1.
 - Use the DECTPU debugger provided in TPU$DEBUG.TPU. This is discussed in Section 5.7.2.
Regardless of which debugger you use, you may find it helpful to enable the display of error line numbers by using SET (LINE_NUMBER, ON) and to enable the display of procedures called when an error occurs by using SET (TRACEBACK, ON).
5.7.1 Using Your Own Debugger
If you write your own debugger, you can invoke it (and bypass the default bugger) by using the /DEBUG qualifier with the EDIT/TPU command. For example, to use a debugger called MY_DEBUGGER.TPU on a file called MIGHT_BE_BUGGY.TPU, type the following:

Lucia Ortisi's Panforte
Christmas in Italy is still essentially a religious holiday where the birth of baby Jesus is the inspiration for lovingly crafted nativity scenes that can be found in many churches, squares, schools and private households. But it is also an opportunity for families to come together, to cook, to share a meal and pass on traditions from one generation to the next, strengthening the ties between young and old. In this context eating carries much greater significance than simply preparing and serving food.
A major highlight of the Christmas holiday in Italy is Cenone (big dinner), which takes place on Christmas Eve. While the menu tends to vary from region to region, traditionally pasta always makes an appearance, followed by fish and seafood, with plenty of vegetable dishes. Equally important is the Christmas Day lunch where we have meat, vegetables, and why not, pasta again!
Desserts, sweets and pastries also play a big part on these special days, providing some much-needed sweetness, lightness, or crunchiness. Few Italians can resist these mouth-watering treats! Among the sweetest and most delicious of these is Panforte (strong bread). A speciality of Siena, Panforte is a thick and dense cake of medieval origin. Records from the 13th Century mention Panforte being produced in the Sienese countryside in the form of an enriched bread with honey and spices. Traditionally the recipe includes peppercorn, which is not often found in cakes, and is mainly enjoyed during the Christmas period.
 - 150 gr almonds
 - 150 gr hazelnut
 - 100 gr of walnut
 - 60 gr plain flour
 - 150 gr caster sugar
 - 150 gr honey
 - ½ tsp ground nutmeg
 - ½ tsp mixed spices
 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
 - ½ ground rainbow peppercorn
 - 200 gr Italian mixed peel
 - 100 gr dried apricots
 - 1 sheet of edible paper
 - Icing sugar
Icing sugar, cinnamon, plain flour
 1. Line a 18 cm round cake tin with the edible paper and set it aside.
 2. in a saucepan put the honey and sugar and let them melt over a low heat without ever bringing them to boil. In the meantime, put the almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts on a tray and toast them in the oven at 100 C° for 10/12 minutes (should toast slightly, should not become dark).
 3. Add the toasted mixed nuts to a large bowl with the flour, the finely chopped candied peel, ap and spices. Stir to mix.
 4. Once the sugar and honey become a thick golden syrup, remove the saucepan from the heat.
 6. Scoop the dough into the lined cake tin and smooth the surface with wet hands. Dust the surface with the mix of flour, icing sugar and cinnamon.
 7. Place in the oven at 150/160 C° for 15/20 min.
 8. Remove the Panforte from the oven, let it cool slightly and then remove it from the baking tin.
 9. Once the Panforte is cold, dust generously with icing sugar

(2000; 80 pages) [French] [Spanish]
The questions that make up the WHOQOL-100 arose from a process designed to capture both the culture-specific interpretation of quality of life facets as well as language idiom. There was therefore, of necessity, some diversity in the nature and structure of the questions. Consequently, there was a trade-off between a minimum number of standardised question-response scale formats whilst still allowing an enquiry into difficult aspects of quality of life, and maintaining the unique face validity of the questions in the WHOQOL-100 in different cultures. To accommodate this there are four five-point response scales concerned with the intensity, capacity, frequency and evaluation of states or behaviours.
The Intensity response scale refers to the degree or extent to which a person experiences a state or situation e.g. the intensity of pain. Questions may also refer to the vigour or strength of a behaviour. The assumption is that the experience of a more intense state is associated with corresponding changes in quality of life. Example questions include: "Do you worry about any pain or discomfort?" and "Do you have any difficulties with sleeping?". One response scale is used to assess intensity. In English, the anchors on the scale are "Not at all" and "Extremely" or "An extreme amount".
The Capacity response scale refers to a capacity for a feeling, state or behaviour. The assumption is that a more complete capacity is associated with corresponding changes in quality of life. Example questions include: "Do you have enough energy for everyday life?" and "To what extent are you able to carry out your daily activities?". In English, the anchor points are "Not at all" and "Completely".
The Frequency response scale pairings refer to the number, frequency, commonness, or rate of a state or behaviour. The time frame is crucial to these questions, such that the frequency refers to its frequency in the specified time period. The assumption is that a greater number of occurrences of the state or behaviour is associated with corresponding changes in quality of life. Example questions are: "How often do you have negative feelings, such as blue mood, despair, anxiety, depression?" and "How often do you suffer (physical) pain?" In English, the anchor points are "Never" and "Always".
The Evaluation response scale refers to the appraisal of a state, capacity or behaviour. The assumption is that a more positive evaluation is associated with a corresponding increase in the respondent's quality of life. Example questions are: "How satisfied are you with your capacity for work?" and "How satisfied are you with your personal relationships?" Several evaluation scales are employed. In English, the anchor points are "Very unhappy" - "Very happy"; "Very dissatisfied" - "Very satisfied"; and "Very poor" - "Very good". This response scale differs from the intensity, frequency and capacity scales in that it has as a neutral midpoint and the anchor points are not extreme points, to maximise full usage of the scale. In several languages (e.g. Croatian and Dutch) the distinction between the two question stems "How satisfied...?" and "How happy...?" does not translate and all of these questions and response scales therefore become "How satisfied...?"
Response scales have been derived for each of the WHOQOL-100's language versions according to a standardised methodology. Ensuring equivalence in response scales required a methodology that goes beyond translation of standardised English language scale descriptors. Although endpoints such as "Never" and "Always" are universal, shades of meaning between endpoints (e.g. "sometimes") are more ambiguous, difficult to translate, and subject to cultural variation in their interpretation. To ensure equivalence across WHOQOL field centres, a methodology was used which specified the anchor points for each of the four types of 5-point response scales (Evaluation, Intensity, Capacity and Frequency), and a scale metric which intermediate descriptors should fit. That is, descriptors for each of the response scales were derived to find words/terms falling at 25%, 50% and 75% points between the two anchors.
This methodology ensured first that response scales were not simply translated from a source language with all the problems associated with this process. Second, it secured a high degree of scalar equivalence between languages, which was supported by subsequent bilingual review. Third, it ensured equidistance between descriptors on the scales. The method whereby response scales were derived is described more fully elsewhere (Szabo, S., Orley, J. and Saxena, S. On behalf of the WHOQOL Group, 1997).

Migrants Selection and Replacement in Distributed Evolutionary Algorithms for Dynamic Optimization
Many distributed systems (task scheduling,moving priorities,mobile environments,...) can be linked as Dynamic Optimization Problems (DOPs), since they require to pursue an optimal value that changes over time. We have focused on the utilization of Distributed Genetic Algorithms (dGAs), one of the domains still to be investigated for DOPs. A dGA essentially decentralizes the population in islands which cooperate through migrations of individuals. In this article, we analyze the effect of the migrants selection and replacement on the performance of dGAs for DOPs.

Cultivation of Ginseng
Wild-simulated ginseng presents the best opportunity to successfully cultivate and market ginseng for profit.
Ginseng has fairly stringent environmental requirements. It requires at least 70 percent shade. The soil must have enough base nutrients (15-20 percent base saturation) to meet its needs, but not so much that the soil pH exceeds 6 (liming is out of the question unless pH is too low). The soil must be moist, but well-drained. To achieve this, the organic matter content has to be pretty high. Heavy clays and very sandy soils are poor for ginseng. Ginseng does not compete will with other plants, so vegetation control is necessary.
Ginseng grows best in small patches, not rows or giant beds. So plantings should be dispersed throughout your woodlot.

Book summary
Imagine yourself in 13th-century England. King Edward I has just named the fictitious Kevin le Strange to be the Lord of Aberwyvern--"a rich but rebellious area of Northwest Wales." Lord Kevin's first task is to oversee the construction of a strategically placed castle and town in order to assure that England can "dominate the Welsh once and for all." And a story is born! In the Caldecott Honor Book Castle, David Macaulay--author, illustrator, former architect and teacher--sets his sights on the creation and destiny of Lord Kevin's magnificent castle perched on a bluff overlooking the sea. Brick by brick, tool by tool, worker by worker, we witness the methodical construction of a castle through exquisitely detailed pen-and-ink illustrations. Children who love to know how things work especially appreciate Macaulay's passion for process and engineering. Moats, arrow loops, plumbing, dungeons, and weaponry are all explained in satisfying detail. This talented author also has a keen sense of irony and tragedy, which is played out in the intricacies of the human story: a castle can be built as a fortress, but ultimately it becomes obsolete when humans discover that cooperation works best.

Starting this January, an estimated 10,000 Ysleta Independent School District elementary school students will receive an introduction to the lifelong game of golf, along with character education and healthy habits during their regular PE classes, through The First Tee National School Program™.
Nationally, over two million students and more than 4,200 schools currently offer The First Tee National School Program, which launched in 2004. The program's curriculum is aligned with national standards and reinforces the physical activity objectives mandated through the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Physical Education (TEKS). PE teachers will receive a special in-person training to learn how to deliver the lessons.
"We are so excited to begin this program in the YISD," said Kristi Albers, Executive Director of The First Tee of Greater El Paso, "and grateful for the grant we received from the Paso Del Norte Health Foundation to continue to the Ysleta District. In the fall of 2011 we introduced this program to the El Paso Independent School District and it's been a great success. We are pleased to be able to expand this program to YISD. Golf is not just a lifetime activity; it's something that families can enjoy together. The First Tee's programming goes beyond golf lessons and benefits our participants in their daily lives."
The First Tee National School Program helps students develop an appreciation for the positive personal and social values associated with the game in each lesson; engages students in safe, fun lessons and activities that lead to motor skill development; and presents students with an introduction to the game. Students also are introduced to The First Tee Nine Core Values™:
honesty, integrity, respect, responsibility, courtesy, sportsmanship, confidence, judgment and perseverance. They will learn about physical, social, and emotional wellness through The First Tee Nine Healthy Habits™, which are integrated into each lesson. The program also assists students in transferring the skills and habits to other areas of their lives.
Media are invited to the special in-person training held Saturday morning (December 8, 8:30 am to 12:30 am), at Parkland Middle School (6045 Nova Way.). Representatives from the national office of The First Tee will be available for questions, as well as representatives from YISD. Over 40 elementary school teachers from both YISD and EPISD will participate in this training.
About The First Tee of Greater El Paso

The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), is one of the most severe pests of ornamental palm species in urban areas of Mediterranean countries. The cryptic nature of the weevil, and the gaps in our knowledge of its biology and ecology, hamper the development of efficient and sustainable strategies to limit its diffusion. Control strategies based on semiochemicals can be considered a suitable alternative for RPW population management, particularly in urban areas. Nevertheless these strategies might be improved by broadening our knowledge of behavior modifying stimuli suitable for adult manipulation, such as repellent chemical compounds. A first study about the possibility to use repellent compounds for the control of Rhynchophorus species was carried out in Central America using -pinene and other undisclosed compounds. More recently, in Italy, in laboratory and field experiments were tested seventeen non-host volatiles as possible repellents against the RPW, selected for their repellent skills towards other arthropods. These studies showed promising results in term of repellency elicited from a-pinene, methyl salycilate, 1-octen-3-ol and geraniol that elicited: 1) Significant disruption of pheromone trap attraction; 2) reduction of female's egg deposition activity; 3) antifeedant properties. The possibilities to use candidate repellent compounds in a "Push and Pull" or "stimulo-deterrent diversionary" strategies are discussed.

Methodologies for Integration of Prognostic Health Management Systems with Maintenance Data
Agency / Branch:
DOD / USAF
Impact Technologies propose to further develop and demonstrate an innovative software product that integrates maintenance and PHM system data to provide improved fault diagnostics and prediction of the remaining useful life of critical components. The proposed methodologies will enable the maintenance and logistics infrastructure to fully benefit from newly developed PHM systems and conversely for the PHM system to update itself based on feedback obtained from the maintenance systems. The integration process includes two modes of interaction: 1.) Health information driving the maintenance actions with available resource information, and 2.) Feedback from the maintenance systems providing valuable verification information implemented through a learning mechanism to the PHM system. This integration will utilize multi-agent software technology that is appropriate for open, highly dynamic, uncertain and complex systems including distributed databases such as the Engine Health Management Data Repository Center (EHM+DRC) or Reliability and Maintainability Information System (REMIS). Additionally, Impact Technologies and General Dynamics Information Technology will coordinate efforts to pull resident data in the GCSS-AF for integration with in the software application. The Phase I program successfully demonstrated the feasibility of the developed algorithms using simulation data. Phase II will focus on further development and harnessing of the Phase I technologies for use in specific Air Force applications.

Recycling Orchestra Plays Mozart With Garbage
Sonidos de la Tierra/Video screen capture
It may be a long way from Paraguay's sprawling garbage dumps to the stately concert halls of Europe, but for one group of talented youths the distance isn't so vast -- after all, if music comes from the heart then it really doesn't matter if the instruments are made of trash.
The immensely talented 'Orchestra of Recycled Instruments' seems to have perfected symphonies of several classical composers, while at the same time perfecting the art of reuse. Thanks to an innovative program, called Sonidos de la Tierra, needy kids across the country are learning to change their lives through music and recycling.
Sonidos de la Tierra (translated as 'Sounds of the Earth') was first organized in 2002 as a way of educating young people from poor and underdeveloped regions of Paraguay through the shared experience of creating music.
Since then, the program has grown to reach over 3,000 children from 72 of the nation's poorest communities -- bringing with it the unique joy and personal satisfaction that comes with working to master a musical instrument.
With the help of more than 100 international sponsors, Sonidos de la Tierra has been able to put otherwise out of reach classical instruments into the hands of needy Paraguayan youths -- but perhaps the program's greatest contribution comes in special workshops that teach them how to make those instruments themselves, out of recycled materials.
So far, the Orchestra of Recycled Instruments may be the most widely known group of musicians to arise from Sonidos de la Tierra, having played over 80 concerts both in Paraguay and abroad.

Selective transfer of nanostructured assemblies onto an arbitrary substrate by nanoimprinting
Barcelo, Steven J.; Hu, Min; Kim, Ansoon; Wu, Wei; Li, Zhiyong
Keyword(s): Nanoimprint Lithography; nanofabrication; plasmonics; sensing; SERS
Abstract: Nanoimprint lithography is conventionally used to transfer a pattern from a mold to a deformable and curable resist layer. Here we report a nanoimprinting technique to selectively transfer components of a preassembled nanostructure to a new substrate, while retaining the advantages of nanoimprint lithography such as low cost and high throughput. We use this technique to study metal particle roughness in Au?nanofinger? substrates, along with the effects of annealing to reduce roughness, and the impact of annealing on the Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) signal. The nanofinger substrates consist of Au-coated polymer pillars arranged to collapse into a designed assembly. Upon exposure to a volatile liquid and subsequent drying, microcapillary forces pull the pillars and their metal caps together into the designed structure. Successful transfer was achieved using the concept of template stripping via cold welding using a normal nanoimprinting process with no resist layer but under appropriate pressure to ensure even and complete transfer of all the nanostructures. Particle roughness was not found to be a significant factor in SERS from naonfinger substrates as annealing did not increase the observed Raman intensity.

Saving Katrina's Tiniest Victims
When disaster strikes, the most vulnerable are always the very old and the very small.
At the Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans, the doctors and nurses of the neo-natal intensive care unit have been working around the clock since Sunday to keep their tiny wards alive.
It was too risky to evacuate the newborns before the storm hit, so as Hurricane Katrina raged outside, the staff calmly went about caring for older patients and babies that, in some cases, were only days old.
They were forced to move the neo-natal unit from the top-floor to a lower one, but in general, the building they're in has stood up to the elements. They are 8 feet above sea level, but there has been some flooding inside.
But these newborn babies are the most fragile of beings -- completely dependent on technology that is, in turn, completely dependent on electricity.
One 3-week-old named Hayden is alive only because he's hooked up to a heart-lung machine. But if the hospital loses power, and the batteries on Hayden's heart-lung machine run down, there would only be one option left: creating electricity manually, via a hand crank.
Referencing the Tsunami
The situation is very similar to the aftermath of last December's tsunami in Asia, said Dr. Rachel Moresky, an emergency physician at the Columbia University medical center, who was there as part of the international relief effort.
Moresky said after the initial danger from injuries and infections, the next immediate risk for natural disaster survivors is usually disease. Luckily, in the case of the tsunami, the fears of cholera and other outbreaks did not materialize.
Katrina has also given rise to fears that alligators and poisonous snakes have been flushed from the swamps, but wildlife experts say they probably won't pose a major risk. However, they warn that rabies is always a concern when wild animals and humans are forced together by circumstance.
Bright Side
By late Wednesday, most hospitals in the hurricane-ravaged region were evacuating their patients to hospitals as far away as Houston.
Ochsner officials said they are not planning to evacuate the entire hospital. Out of their 580 beds, they have approximately 300 left, and they plan to evacuate 150 of them.
Those left will be the most at-risk patients, which includes Hayden. The doctors and nurses of the neo-natal intensive care unit are managing to hold out. Their generators are still running, and they are able to power everything but the air conditioners.
However, morale is high. Through all the devastation, one nurse managed to make a joke. "It's extremely hot and we're all uncomfortable," she said, "but they let us dress like we want."
Ironically, while the heat is causing so much misery for the hospital workers, is a blessing in disguise for the babies. The nurses usually have to worry about the babies getting cold.
Under constant care, 3-week-old Hayden is doing fine. The maintenance staff erected a temporary tent above his bed to shelter him from leaks that sprung up during the storm.
Those Who Stay and Those Who Go
Before Katrina slammed into New Orleans, Hayden's parents had to be convinced to leave.
Family members were encouraged to evacuate because the doctors and nurses of the Ochsner clinic have enough on their hands with caring for the patients, and caring for each other.
The 500 men and women of Ochsner clinic may not be hanging from helicopters and rescuing people from rooftops, but there are plenty of people who still consider them heroes: for risking their own lives by braving the hurricane and the flood and the heat.

The OIE has developed a new concept of Vaccine Bank which creates virtual rolling stocks: the supplier (selected OIE compliant vaccine production company) produces the vaccines when needed or they remain with the supplier at its own risk and are renewed on a rolling basis under terms and conditions contractually defined with the OIE. This revised concept enables the rapid supply of emergency stock of vaccines to infected countries in order to vaccinate animal populations at risk and to progressively achieve eradication wherever possible.
In 2006, the OIE set up a Regional Vaccine bank for Avian Influenza vaccines in Africa funded under the European Union Pan African Programme for the Control of Epizootics (PACE) and in 2007 also established a global vaccine bank for Avian Influenza vaccines funded by Canada (Canadian International Development Agency).
Through these two programs, a total of 62,017 million H5N2 doses were delivered to the following countries: Mauritania, Senegal, Egypt, Mauritius, Ghana, Togo and Vietnam. Egypt and Vietnam accounted for the most significant levels of distribution, with approximately 28 million and 26.7 million doses respectively (including timely vaccine delivery from the United Kingdom and Canada). At present, the Avian Influenza vaccine bank is empty.
The European Union funded Regional Cooperation Programme on Highly Pathogenic Emerging and Re-emerging animal diseases (HPED) will see the expansion of the Vaccine Bank to Asia and will be able to rapidly provide eligible countries with an emergency stock of vaccines to vaccinate animal populations at risk under the framework of agreed vaccination strategies.
In addition to the 40% of this budget allocated to Avian Influenza, the vaccine bank will also target foot and mouth disease, rabies and possibly other pathogenic emerging and re-emerging transboundary diseases. The vaccines reserved for foot and mouth disease will represent 30% of the budget and will be used for strategic vaccination in buffer zones (ring vaccination)/ hot spots around disease-free areas in order to stop the spread of the disease but to also reduce the associated economic costs caused by the loss of FMD free status.
20% of the vaccine bank budget has been earmarked for the oral immunization campaigns of stray dogs against rabies. The elimination of rabies is both a public health and economic priority and hence eradicating the spread of this zoonotic disease is essential in order to reduce the socio-economic cost of post contamination treatment of humans.
The remaining 10% of the budget will be considered as a reserve for "other vaccines" for non-identified highly pathogenic emerging and re-emerging animal diseases. The banking of vaccines for an array of diseases signifies an important development to counter the spread of transboundary animal diseases globally.
The OIE International Call for Tender for the establishment of a "PPR Vaccine Bank in Africa" has been launched and is available for download here. Tenders must be received at the OIE Headquarters by Monday, 3 December 2012 at 15:00 (Paris time).

|PostgreSQL 8.2.23 Documentation|
|Prev||Fast Backward||Chapter 31. ECPG - Embedded SQL in C||Fast Forward||Next|
This section explains how ECPG works internally. This information can occasionally be useful to help users understand how to use ECPG.
The first four lines written by ecpg to the output are fixed lines. Two are comments and two are include lines necessary to interface to the library. Then the preprocessor reads through the file and writes output. Normally it just echoes everything to the output.
When it sees an EXEC SQL statement, it intervenes and changes it. The command starts with EXEC SQL and ends with ;. Everything in between is treated as an SQL statement and parsed for variable substitution.
Variable substitution occurs when a symbol starts with a colon (:). The variable with that name is looked up among the variables that were previously declared within a EXEC SQL DECLARE section.
The most important function in the library is
ECPGdo, which takes care of executing most
commands. It takes a variable number of arguments. This can
easily add up to 50 or so arguments, and we hope this will not be
a problem on any platform.
The arguments are:
This is the line number of the original line; used in error messages only.
This is the SQL command that is to be issued. It is modified by the input variables, i.e., the variables that where not known at compile time but are to be entered in the command. Where the variables should go the string contains?.
Every input variable causes ten arguments to be created. (See below.)
An enum telling that there are no more input variables.
Every output variable causes ten arguments to be created. (See below.) These variables are filled by the function.
An enum telling that there are no more variables.
For every variable that is part of the SQL command, the function gets ten arguments:
The type as a special symbol.
A pointer to the value or a pointer to the pointer.
The size of the variable if it is a char or varchar.
The number of elements in the array (for array fetches).
The offset to the next element in the array (for array fetches).
The type of the indicator variable as a special symbol.
A pointer to the indicator variable.
The number of elements in the indicator array (for array fetches).
The offset to the next element in the indicator array (for array fetches).
Note that not all SQL commands are treated in this way. For instance, an open cursor statement like
EXEC SQL OPEN cursor;
is not copied to the output. Instead, the cursor's DECLARE command is used at the position of the OPEN command because it indeed opens the cursor.
Here is a complete example describing the output of the preprocessor of a file foo.pgc (details may change with each particular version of the preprocessor):
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION; int index; int result; EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;... EXEC SQL SELECT res INTO :result FROM mytable WHERE index = :index;
is translated into:
/* Processed by ecpg (2.6.0) */ /* These two include files are added by the preprocessor */ _TAG_ ; _TAG_ ; /* exec sql begin declare section */ _TAG_ 1 "foo.pgc" int index; int result; /* exec sql end declare section */... ECPGdo(__LINE__, NULL, "SELECT res FROM mytable WHERE index =? ", ECPGt_int,&(index),1L,1L,sizeof(int), ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL, 0L, 0L, 0L, ECPGt_EOIT, ECPGt_int,&(result),1L,1L,sizeof(int), ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL, 0L, 0L, 0L, ECPGt_EORT); _TAG_ 147 "foo.pgc"
(The indentation here is added for readability and not something the preprocessor does.)

Statue of a seated male official discovered in 1940 in the serdab of Giza mastaba G.2475 on the northern edge of the western cemetery of Giza. The serdab is a small concelaed chamber in the tomb made to contain a statue of the deceased which was meant to contain the ka-spirit of the deceased who would receive the food offerings left at the tomb to nourish the deceased in the afterlife. The statue is not a portrait in the modern sense of the term, as it represents an idealized image of the deceased as a high-ranking official. The red-painted hieroglyphs incised on the top of the plinth identify the specific individual as the "Superintendent of the royal estate, the flute-player and royal acquaintance Sen-ankh-wer."
The statue's right hand was broken off and has been reattached, but part of the fist is missing. Otherwise the statue is in good condition with some paint worn and a few minor chips missing. Sen-ank-wer is depicted wearing a full wig parted in the middle with carved straight hair flaring out to the top of the shoulders. The hair is painted black. The bottom of the ears projects out below the wig. The oval face has carved features with slightly bulging eyes and a flat nose. The eyebrows and pupils have been painted in black.The face was painted red-brown and there is a clear line around the neck which indicates that a broad collar may have been painted on the figure originally (but no trace remains). Traces of red-brown paint remain on the upper body. The figure sits with his right hand clenched in a fist and his left hand flat palm downward on the top of his knee. The empty space between his arms and chest has not been carved out, but is painted black. He wears a white kilt, which has pleats on his right side and is plain on his left. His two feet rest flat on the plinth. The legs and ankles are rather thick. All ten toenails on the feet have been indicated. The top of the plinth and the front and top of the seat are painted black. The front and sides of the plinth and the entire back of the plain rectangular seat are painted yellow. (S.B. Shubert)

As ancient Rome lived in splendor off the tribute raised in the provinces, so in modern America the political capitals are prospering economically at the expense of the rest of the nation. The productive, private citizens in outlying regions of our nation and states are financially burdened to pay for a parasite public economy of lawmakers, lobbyists, contractors, and bureaucrats in the political centers. Several statistics support those claims:
- Average annual pay of workers in the District of Columbia exceeds the national average by 48 percent. Nation-wide, income per person in counties with state capitals tends to be nearly 10 percent higher than in other regions.
- The income differential between Washington and the rest of the nation rose from 25.9 percent in 1980 to 32.1 percent in 1990. The poorest states have capitals with per capita income levels about 17 percent above state averages; the richest states show virtually no income differential, which suggests that government income redistribution may contribute to poverty rather than enhance wealth.
- Although unemployment in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area has been increasing, it remains almost 30 percent below the national average. Unemployment rates in counties containing state capitals average about 20 percent lower than in other counties.
That evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that those who make up the "parasite economy" have been successful at improving their economic well-being at the expense of those working in the productive private economy.


Systematicity vs. Flexibility
Systematic Yet Flexible (SYF) Systems
Systematic Yet Flexible (SYF) Health IT systems are those that encourage best practices while simultaneously accommodating the tremendous variety of real-world healthcare workflow. Perer and Shneiderman first described the concept of SYF systems using an example of a network analysis tool.
Systematic Yet Flexible Systems Analysis (SYFSA) is a framework developed by SHARPC for designing and analyzing SYF systems. It is based on analyzing a task using three related problem spaces: the idealized space, the natural space, and the system space.
The idealized space represents the best practice. The idealized space for choosing a medication includes a number of constraints, such as that the medication is therapeutically appropriate, has the correct dose and route, is safe, is available for purchase in the form and dose prescribed and within the required time frame, and is as economically efficient as possible.
The natural space captures the task actions and constraints on those actions imposed by the physical world. A paper-based, handwritten prescription enforces almost none of the idealized constraints—it is too flexible. However, this flexibility allows a physician to use non-standard formulations and dosing regimens to better personalize care and to easily prescribe new medications that may not yet be in more systematic IT-based ePrescribing systems.
The system space specifies how the task is done in a redesigned, or newly designed system, including how it may deviate from the idealized space, and how the system supports or enforces constraints in the idealized space. A system space for ePrescribing explicitly considers the constraints of the idealized prescribing space, supports known constraints, while recognizing the need to cope with the inevitable exceptions and variations that are common in healthcare.
Diagram of Systematic Yet Flexible Systems Analysis
We can use SYFSA as a qualitative framework, as demonstrated above, or as an analytical framework. The analytical framework allows us to model alternative designs and calculate several relevant quantitative measures, including flexibility, error or success rates, and mean number of steps to complete a task. Mathematica code to support such analysis is available upon request from Dr. Todd Johnson.

Gesture recognition systems like the Kinect, or the upcoming Leap Motion, rely on special hardware and require you to be in a specific place to detect your motions. A limitation that researchers at the University of Washington have all but eliminated by instead using the Wi-Fi network in your home to recognize gestures.
Unlike the Kinect which analyzes the specific motions of various parts of your body, the WiSee system instead listens for subtle frequency changes in a modified Wi-Fi signal as it bounces off your moving body. Existing hardware like multi-antenna wireless routers can be easily modified to emit the special signals, while smartphones, computers, and other devices can all serve as detectors.
In its current form the WiSee system isn't as refined as the Kinect or the Leap Motion, but the researchers have found that it can successfully recognize nine unique gestures—including changing channels on a TV and controlling music—about 94 percent of the time. For the extremely lazy it's a dream come true, but for the paranoid worried about every single move they make being tracked, it's a nightmare. [WiSee via Boing Boing]

Ramsar and wetland values included in Japanese school curricula
[Resolution VII.9 of COP7 adopted "The Convention's Outreach Programme _PHONE_", an extremely important part of which is found in paragraph 44 of the Programme itself, in which Parties are urged to ensure that Ramsar and wetland values are included in the curricula of primary, secondary, and tertiary educational institutions. (See also Recommendation 4.5, Resolution VI.19, and Strategic Plan _PHONE_'s Action 3.2.5 in this regard.) ]

Author: Reiko Nakamura, Secretary General, Ramsar Center Japan
Tanchou lives only in the eastern part of Hokkaido and is a National Endangered Species. Until the mid-19th century, Tanchou could be seen throughout broader areas of Hokkaido, but it has rapidly decreased its numbers in the late 19th century due to development.
Traditionally, Japan has transformed marshland into paddy field, forming its unique culture based on rice cultivation. People from the mainland developed Hokkaido and successfully raised rice and vegetables despite the cold temperatures.
As a result of the humans prosperity, however, Tanchou was deprived of habitat, and it was believed that it had become extinct. In 1924, some ten to twenty Tanchous were found at Kushiro-shitsugen, in Eastern Hokkaido. People from neighbouring villages tried to feed the Tanchous in an effort to increase the endangered waterfowl, but the cautious birds did not accept the food given by the humans. In February 1952, a blizzard attacked the Kushiro region, and Tanchous almost starved to death. Farmers and schoolchildren gave them corn, and Tanchous finally accepted to eat the food from the humans.
Since then, there has been a recognition of the need to save Tanchous. People fed them out of their scarce food. The cost of the feed has since been appropriated from the national budget. Now, the number of Tanchous is counted at more than 600. The places where more than 100 Tanchous come to be fed have become protected areas. Kushiro-shitsugen was designated as an Internationally Important site of the Ramsar Convention in 1980, and the 28th National Park in 1987.
On the other hand, however, Kushiro-shitsugen has reduced its size by 2/3. Trees are cut down, and water is contaminated. Its ecosystems are not capable to host 600 Tanchous any longer. Under such an environment, Tanchous are able to survive because the humans continue to feed them. If the humans stop feeding them, how many Tanchous will be able to survive? As the humans are deeply involved in Tanchous' survival, feeding cannot be stopped.
By feeding, the humans protect Tanchou in the wild. Nevertheless, the humans have deprived Tanchou of the environment they rely upon. It is like a "zoo without fences."
Our responsibilities as the humans are to protect the environment where Tanchou can survive without human support and to keep working to retrieve the lost marshland area.
The textbook's article is accompanied by illustrations not shown here, and by an additional page showing the Ramsar sites in Japan, with photos and a map and explanatory text about the Convention.
In addition, the students in Wakasa Shougakkou school spent time with the superb bilingual Environment Agency of Japan 36-page brochure entitled "&#@>(^$ *&#$%" in Japanese and "People and Wetlands in Japan" in English, which thoroughly surveys Japan's wetland situation and the legislative and institutional mechanisms for implementing the Convention, and describes all of Japan's Ramsar sites in considerable detail. The brochure also describes Japan's assistance to other countries on a number of Ramsar-related issues.

Statement: "The Anicent Egypts were Black people",
Reply: "no there were brown in color, and not black as we know it"
Truth: They were African people and like many African people display skin colors from high yellow to deep black. Blackness is relative to Whiteness and a modern term. It is accurate to say the people of Egypt were an African civilization and were native to that region-- like the Ethiopians and the Nubians. It is absurd to have a civilization located in a continent but default and describe its builders by an identity that divorces them from their location. Clearly it is part of the take away in Eurocentric academia-- reassign civilization outside of African claim.

Rick:What are a few best practices for moving away from slavery and toward freedom?
Rachel:The first thing is they need to be on a plan. It needs to written down before the month begins. They need to have a dollar amount next to each of their expenses—every dollar should have a name before the month begins. Second, they need to have an emergency fund. So if a tire goes out or the kids need new clothes for school they don't go charge it on a credit card. Next, start paying off your debt—pay off the smallest debts to the largest, regardless of interest rates. Then, start a nest egg for your kids' college. Then work on saving up for a bigger emergency fund—six months of expenses in case something happens. And then you can start saving up for college. Start doing some investing and try to pay off your house. When your house is paid for and the kids' college is funded, you're able to hold wealth and give a bunch of it away. ◊

The mass of water vapor in a given volume of air (i.e., density of water vapor in a given parcel, usually expressed in grams per cubic meter.
Having a pH value less than 7.
Activated Oxygen is the linking of 3 oxygen molecules otherwise known as O3, or ozone. When the oxygen (O2) around us rises to the upper atmosphere and is exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays, that oxygen is naturally turned into ozone (O3). This "ozone layer" protects us from the sun's harmful UV rays. Since ozone is heavier than air, it naturally falls back to earth. This is the ozone that naturally purifies our air and water. Without ozone nature could not purify the Earth.
Actual Vapor Pressure
The partial pressure exerted by the water vapor present in a parcel. Water in a gaseous state (i.e. water vapor) exerts a pressure just like the atmospheric air. Vapor pressure is also measured in millibars.
