The League of California Cities has selected the city of La Mesa as a 2015 Helen Putnam Award-winner. The 2015 award winners were honored during the opening general session of the League's annual Conference & Expo at the San José Convention Center, held Sept. 30 through Oct. 2.
The city of La Mesa received the CCS Partnership Intergovernmental Collaboration Award for its Intergenerational Safe Routes to School Program. Since 2010, the city has partnered with the La Mesa Spring Valley School District in the La Mesa Kids Walk 'n' Roll Safe Routes to School Program. Working with community partners, the city implemented an intergenerational program to enhance the safety of students at critical high-traffic intersections, walkways and bus loading zones at elementary and middle schools throughout the city. Participating schools have seen an increase in the number of students biking and walking to school. This change has made the city to become more pedestrian and bicycle-focused when planning for future infrastructure.
Established in 1982, the Helen Putnam Award for Excellence program recognizes outstanding cities that deliver the highest quality and level of service in the most effective manner possible. Particular attention and credit is given to applications specifically advancing the League's strategic priorities which are determined each year by the board of directors. You can read more about the League's priorities at cacities.org/priorities.
The award was given this year in 11 categories, although it is usually given annually in 12 categories: CCS Partnership Intergovernmental Collaboration Award; Community Services and Economic Development; Economic Development Through the Arts; Enhancing Public Trust, Ethics, and Community Involvement; Health and Wellness Programs; Housing Programs and Innovations; Internal Administration; League Partners Award for Excellence in City-Business Relations; Planning and Environmental Quality; Public Safety; Public Works, Infrastructure and Transportation; and the Ruth Vreeland Award for Engaging Youth in City Government. Of 139 submissions, 12 were recognized for their outstanding programs.
The 2016 election is still over a year away but County Supervisor Dianne Jacob's campaign is already getting some support for her re-election to the District 2 office.
On Sept. 28, Jacob's campaign announced that it had received the endorsement of San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer.
"Although most of District 2 is outside of the city of San Diego, the neighborhoods of San Carlos, Allied Gardens, Grantville and Del Cerro are part of the district election," Jacob said. "A portion of my district includes eastern parts of the city of San Diego, and I know Mayor Faulconer is respected by many of these residents, so his endorsement is a big step forward for our campaign," Jacob said in a statement released by her campaign.
Faulconer cited his work with Jacob on a number of issues for his support of her re-election, especially their work on the Alzheimer's Project, which works to accelerate research for a cure.
"I appreciate Dianne's dedication to serving her constituents and her enthusiasm for addressing challenging issues facing our country," Faulconer said in a statement.
Two La Mesa locals who are students at San Diego State University were among this year's recipients of the prestigious Conrad Prebys Scholarship. La Mesa resident Madison Prior is being awarded the scholarship for her excellence in studying management at SDSU. Helix High School graduate Molly Wells is studying art.
The scholarships were created when San Diego philanthropist Conrad Prebys gifted $20 million to create several endowments which support at least 150 SDSU high-achieving students each year in a variety of different fields.
Although there is no specific GPA requirement set to be eligible for the scholarship, potential recipients are identified and nominated by a collaborative process across campus, including faculty and staff from the Weber Honors College, the College of Sciences, the College of Professional Studies and Fine Arts, the Joan and Art Barron Veterans Center, and the Zahn Innovation Center. Recipients are then awarded by the scholarship committee, which considers the nominees' strengths in the areas of leadership, entrepreneurship, creative and performing arts, and leadership, among others, as well as the candidates' academic achievements, distinctions, and involvement in the community.
Drivers of vehicles that run on natural gas will be pleased to know that there is a new CNG filling station in La Mesa.
EDCO opened its third open-to-the-public CNG station last month at the convenient location of 8173 Commercial St. in La Mesa, which is one block from Interstate 8. In addition to its three public CNG stations, EDCO also operates five other stations for its fleet of waste management vehicles.
As part of this new facility, EDCO has also invested in 11 new over-the-road CNG powered tractor-trailer combinations. EDCO's ever growing CNG powered fleet now numbers over 150 total vehicles in a variety of applications, from pickup trucks, bin movement units, to residential and commercial collection trucks and now over-the-road tractor-trailer units.
"This facility will be a key part of the regional infrastructure necessary to expand the use of Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV)," said Steve South, President and CEO of EDCO in a press release.
As both private and public fleets continue to search for environmentally safe, financially stable alternative fuels, CNG has emerged as a safe option that can reduce smog-producing pollutants by up to 90 percent and hydrocarbon emissions by 50-70 percent, compared to gasoline.
EDCO also operates a North San Diego County CNG Public Fuel Station, located one block south of state Route 78 at 168 S. Las Posas Road in San Marcos. In addition, EDCO operates a third Public CNG facility in North Orange County at 6762 Stanton Ave. in Buena Park.
The new La Mesa filling station will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will accept all major credit cards.
A new firefighting helicopter is poised and ready for duty in San Diego County, just in time for peak wildfire season.
Based at Gillespie Field in El Cajon, the Bell 205 A-1 ++ joins two other firefighting helicopters flown by ASTREA, the Sheriff's Department aviation unit. It can hoist equipment, ferry firefighters and carries a 375-gallon water tank for fire suppression.
Horn called for the new helicopter in the wake of the May 2014 wildfires. Following those blazes, Supervisor Dianne Jacob initiated a county study that spurred additional fire protection improvements.
The addition of a third firefighting helicopter makes it possible for ASTREA to operate at least two of the aircraft at the same time, giving fire authorities greater flexibility during a crisis. When the county only had two helicopters, routine maintenance or repairs often limited flight time.
The new helicopter, which cost $4.4 million, seats nine passengers and can haul a 4,000-pound payload.
In the past 12 years, the county has invested more than $320 million on fire protection improvements, including new stations, equipment and a more professionally trained firefighting force. It created the county Fire Authority in 2008 to bolster fire and emergency medical services.
On Sept. 25, SDG&E asked the California Public Utilities Commission for approval to use rates to cover the costs of settling the 2,500 lawsuits related to wildfires in 2007. The utility initially faced $4 billion in claims arising from the fires, but the company settled as many as possible to reduce the customer cost impact, according to a statement released by SDG&E.
The total cost of the settlements was about $2.4 billion, the majority of which were paid with liability insurance or recovered from third parties. SDG&E is proposing that its shareholders cover $42 million, or 10 percent of the cost.
The utility wants the remaining $379 million to be paid by increases in customer rates over the next six years. A residential customer who uses 500 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month would see his or her bill go up about $1.70, SDG&E said.
Since 2007, SDG&E has installed over 170 weather stations throughout its service territory to enhance operational and system safety and improve situational awareness to reduce the potential for utility facilities to be used as an ignition source. Every circuit that serves the high-risk "fire threat zone" in the back country has at least one weather station that provides wind speed, direction, temperature and humidity every 10 minutes — critical information needed to evaluate the possible impact of weather on system operations. All of this data is available to the National Weather Service, fire agencies and the general public.
In 2008, when deciding where to install the first of its new weather monitors, SDG&E looked for areas with strong wind activity. As a result, one was placed in west Santa Ysabel, which is one of the windiest spots in the back country and close to the ignition site of the Witch Creek Fire.
A final CPUC decision is expected in the first quarter of 2017. Customers would not see any bill impact before then.
By law, SDG&E is required to serve all customers in its service territory regardless of where they live. California courts have found that utilities like SDG&E are automatically responsible for damage linked to their equipment, regardless of fault or negligence, even where the utility equipment is only one of several concurrent causes. Many factors outside of SDG&E's control — most notably the Santa Ana winds — played a major role in the ignition and spread of the 2007 wildfires.
Regulators in past cases have ruled that costs reasonably incurred by a utility in fulfilling its obligation to serve all customers can be recovered in rates.
Wildfire risk in your neighborhood?
As San Diego County enters the perilous fall wildfire season, residents can now tap into a new online map to learn the level of fire risk in their immediate area.
The digital tool, which went online on Sept. 30, allows San Diegans to search the county by address or place name to learn the degree of wildfire hazard and how to better prepare for an emergency. Many of the county's biggest blazes have struck in the fall, fed by Santa Ana winds and tinderbox conditions in the backcountry.
A link to the new Wildfire Hazard Map can be found at ReadySanDiego.org. It draws on existing data collected by California fire officials to assess conditions on properties statewide.
The map shows large areas of the county, mostly in the backcountry, are in "high" to "very high" hazard zones, as defined by state officials. Other areas fall into the "moderate" category or are not considered a serious risk.
When an address or place name is entered, the map provides the hazard designation, along with related links and information, including the name of the fire protection agency for that location, the closest fire station and a detailed guide to fire preparedness.
Many addresses also provide contact information for the local Fire Safe Council, a network of nonprofits that promote fire safety and preparedness.
The map is available on both desktop and mobile devices.
Since the fall of 2003, when a string of devastating fires swept the region, the county has spent at least $320 million to beef up backcountry fire protection, including investing in new engines, stations, aircraft and a better-trained firefighting force.

Why Manchineel Might Be Earth's Most Dangerous Tree
Russell McLendon
Russell McLendon is a science writer with expertise in the natural environment, humans, and wildlife. He holds degrees in journalism and environmental anthropology.
Treehugger / Catherine Song
The manchineel tree may be endangered, but so is anyone who messes with it. That's because this rare tropical plant, which offers deceptively sweet fruit, is one of the most poisonous trees on Earth.
Manchineels are notorious in their native habitats, the sandy soils and mangroves of South Florida, the Caribbean, Central America and northern South America. Many are labeled with warning signs like the one pictured below. But aside from poisoning the occasional conquistador, tourist and literary character, manchineel is relatively obscure considering it holds the world record for most dangerous tree.
Which Part Is Most Toxic?

The fruits are the most obvious threat, earning manchineel the name manzanita de la muerte, or "little apple of death," from Spanish conquistadors. Resembling a small green crabapple about 1 to 2 inches wide, the sweet-smelling fruits can cause hours of agony — and potentially death — with a single bite.
"I rashly took a bite from this fruit and found it pleasantly sweet," radiologist Nicola Strickland wrote in a 2000 British Medical Journal article about eating manchineel with a friend. "Moments later we noticed a strange peppery feeling in our mouths, which gradually progressed to a burning, tearing sensation and tightness of the throat. The symptoms worsened over a couple of hours until we could barely swallow solid food because of the excruciating pain and the feeling of a huge obstructing pharyngeal lump."
Poison apples are just the beginning, though. Every part of a manchineel is toxic, and according to the Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS), "interaction with and ingestion of any part of this tree may be lethal." That includes bark, leaves and the milky sap, one drop of which can scorch the skin of shade-seeking beach-goers. Even without touching the tree itself, people (and car paint) have been burned by the thick, caustic sap as rain washes it off branches overhead.
Various Pains and Effects

The tree holds a cocktail of toxins, including hippomanin A and B as well as some yet to be identified. A few act instantly, according to "Poisonous Plants and Animals of Florida and the Caribbean" by David Nellis, while others take their time. Symptoms from contact with sap range from a rash and headache to acute dermatitis, severe breathing problems and "temporary painful blindness," Nellis writes. Burning or chopping the wood isn't advised, either, since its smoke and sawdust burn skin, eyes and lungs.
Eating the fruit usually causes abdominal pain, vomiting, bleeding and digestive tract damage, Nellis adds. Death is widely considered a risk, but mortality data for ingesting the manchineel fruit — informally known as a "beach apple" — are scarce. And aside from the short-term danger, some manchineel compounds may be co-carcinogenic, promoting the growth of benign and malignant tumors.
The most famous victim of manchineel is probably conquistador Juan Ponce de Leon, who led the first European expedition into Florida in 1513. He returned to colonize the peninsula eight years later, but his invasion met resistance from Calusa fighters. Some native Caribbean people used manchineel sap to make poison arrows, and one of these sap-tipped arrows reportedly struck Ponce de Leon's thigh during the 1521 battle. He fled with his troops to Cuba, where he died of his wounds.
Practical Uses of Manchineel

Manchineel also has peaceful uses. Normally a hefty shrub, it can grow up to 50 feet tall, producing toxic timber that has long tempted Caribbean carpenters. And despite the danger, people have used manchineel to make furniture for centuries, carefully cutting the wood and then drying it in the sun to neutralize its poisonous sap. Native people even used manchineel as medicine: A gum made from the bark can reportedly treat edema, while dried fruits have been used as a diuretic.
Although manchineel sap is poisonous to birds and many other animals, there are some creatures it doesn't seem to bother. The garrobo or striped iguana of Central and South America, for example, is known to eat manchineel fruit and sometimes even lives among the tree's limbs, according to IFAS.
Plant toxins typically evolve for defense, but it's not clear why manchineel went to such extremes. Coastal living might have enabled it, since its seeds can travel by sea — sometimes across the Gulf of Mexico — rather than relying on animals. Regardless, toxicity became a liability for manchineels in Florida, where eradication efforts and habitat loss pushed it onto the endangered species list.
Yet while it's less famous than toxic plants like poison ivy or hemlock, manchineel at least has relative notoriety among endangered plants, most of which are publicly unknown. And local respect for its risks, as well as benefits, may give it an edge over endangered plants with less star power and firepower.
People tend to leave manchineel alone, both for obvious reasons and because even this poison-obsessed tree provides ecosystem services. It's a natural windbreak and fights beach erosion, for instance, a useful service in the face of rising sea levels and bigger Atlantic storms. And since biotoxins can inspire beneficial scientific breakthroughs like safer pesticides from scorpion venom or pain medicine from cone snails, it's probably worth keeping manchineel around — at a safe distance.

In computing, skins and themes are custom graphical appearances (GUIs) that can be applied to certain software and websites in order to suit the different tastes of different users. Such software is referred to as being skinnable, and the process of writing or applying such a skin is known as skinning. Applying a skin changes a piece of software's look and feel - some skins merely make the program more aesthetically pleasing, but others can rearrange elements of the interface, potentially making the program easier to use.

Amid the Parisian upheavals of May 1968, a group of young doctors decided to go and help victims of wars and major disasters. This new brand of humanitarianism would reinvent the concept of emergency aid. They were to become Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), known internationally in English as Doctors Without Borders.
After the revolt of May '68 burst onto their black and white TV screens, the French public soon saw other, more frightening images. For the first time, television broadcasted scenes of children dying from hunger in remote corners of the world.
In southern Nigeria, the province of Biafra had seceded. This minuscule territory was surrounded by the Nigerian army and the Biafran people were decimated by famine. The French Red Cross issued an appeal for volunteers.
Medics in Emergencies
For a number of years, Max Recamier and Pascal Greletty-Bosviel—volunteer doctors with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Geneva—had been regularly intervening in armed conflicts.
"Contrary to popular belief, the Red Cross is not a medical organization at all," says Max Recamier. "Pascal and myself were the only two doctors they knew because of our previous mission in Yemen, so they asked us to find some doctors for the ICRC. The first one to volunteer was Bernard Kouchner, who was much younger than I was; he was just finishing his studies and hadn't even finished his thesis yet, but he volunteered to go over there."
A team of six set off on the ICRC mission to Biafra: two doctors—Max Recamier and Bernard Kouchner—as well as two clinicians and two nurses. Being thrown into such a bloody conflict was a real shock for these fledgling doctors, who found themselves having to provide war surgery in hospitals that were regularly targeted by the Nigerian armed forces.
Recamier and Kouchner believed the world needed to know about the events they were witnessing: civilians being murdered and starved by blockading forces. They openly criticized the Nigerian government and the Red Cross for their seemingly complicit behavior.
In the following three years, other doctors began to speak up. These doctors, or "Biafrans," as they were known, began to lay the foundations for a new and questioning form of humanitarianism that would ignore political or religious boundaries, and prioritize the welfare of those suffering.
"A New Medicine"
In 1971, Raymond Borel and Philippe Bernier, journalists from the medical review Tonus, issued an appeal to establish a band of doctors to help people suffering in the midst and wake of major disasters.
The "Biafrans," who had been attempting to start an emergency medical response group themselves, jumped at the chance.
"In the back of our minds was the fact that we'd already done this and we wanted to do it again," says Bernard Kouchner.
"We wanted to ensure sufficient knowledge of this new type of medicine: war surgery, triage medicine, public health, education, et cetera.
"It's simple really: go where the patients are. It seems obvious, but at the time it was a revolutionary concept because borders got in the way. It's no coincidence that we called it 'Médecins Sans Frontières.'"
MSF was officially created on December 22, 1971. At the time, 300 volunteers made up the organization: doctors, nurses, and other staff, including the 13 founding doctors and journalists.
MSF was created on the belief that all people have the right to medical care regardless of gender, race, religion, creed, or political affiliation, and that the needs of these people outweigh respect for national boundaries.
MSF's First Mission
MSF's first mission was to the Nicaraguan capital, Managua, where an earthquake in 1972 had destroyed most of the city and killed between 10,000 and 30,000 people.
In 1974, MSF set up a relief mission to help the people of Honduras after Hurricane Fifi caused major flooding and killed thousands of people.
Then, in 1975, MSF established its first large-scale medical program during a refugee crisis, providing medical care for the waves of Cambodians seeking sanctuary from Pol Pot's oppressive rule.
In these first missions, the weaknesses of MSF as a greenhorn humanitarian organization would become readily apparent: preparation was lacking, doctors were left unsupported, and supply chains were tangled. It became a turning point; the movement began to fracture.
Organized or Guerilla Doctors?
Claude Malhuret, MSF's president from 1977–78, says: "There was a very real opposition between people who didn't want things to become structured—who wanted to stay a small commando unit of emergency doctors—and others who wanted to get organized."
"They didn't want to become a sort of Red Cross, but nonetheless to be more organized than we were. Not just doctors pitching up with a few drugs in a plastic bag and not enough to work with."
At the Annual General Assembly in 1979, MSF's internal conflicts finally erupted. A vote was made on whether MSF should become more organized or remain a band of guerilla doctors. Eighty percent voted in favor of the former.
Bernard Kouchner and his "Biafran" counterparts resented the move and left MSF to found Médecins du Monde, or Doctors of the World.
Building MSF
From this point, the new "realist" leadership of MSF—spearheaded by Claude Malhuret and Rony Brauman—would help transform MSF into the professional organization it is today.
Since 1980, MSF has opened offices in 28 countries and employs more than 30,000 people across the world. Since its founding, MSF has treated over a hundred million patients—with 8.25 million outpatient consultations being carried out in 2014 alone. MSF has also maintained its institutional and financial independence, and the organization has continued to be critical of both itself and the broader aid system when appropriate, all in the name of trying to help direct more effective and timely aid to those who need it most.

It is the aim of this research to explore the physical entity and felt experience of the uncanny threshold through the pictorial space of painting. In the first instance, a genealogy of the threshold is developed, drawing on the sublime as a device in painting. Turner have been selected, each demonstrating a particular approach to the sublime and, hence, the threshold in painting. In the contemporary setting, works by Peter Doig, Karin Mamma Andersson and Jess MacNeil have been selected to explore the uncanny threshold in painting.
The key devices relevant to this research are described as a "twofold temporal movement" Grenier , p. Each of these works demonstrates an approach to the threshold, and provides a means through which I am able to develop and convey my own exploration of the threshold as a spatio-temporal threshold that houses the two in one. This research draws upon three key aspects of the Modernist movement: The final methodology develops a series of incidents that work to emulate the overlapping and simultaneous concurrence of space found in the reveal zone of the threshold at Lovett Bay House.
The architectural reveal, a structural component concealed within the conventional threshold, becomes apparent when one is 'tripped up' in crossing the threshold.

By the end of the year and the following year, the demand for passage to Australia rose considerably. Rivalry between the many shipping companies intensified as they fought, through advertisements extolling the virtues of their speedy and comfortable ships, for the lucrative new emigration trade.
No doubt risks were taken with the aim of turning a quick profit, and no doubt ships were lost. Melbourne grew into a vibrant metropolis, and trade between Melbourne and Sydney prospered. Access to coastal towns such as Port Albert, Warrnambool and Portland was quicker by ship until roads improved and the the motor vehicle dominated land transport. We should also consider the Bass Strait islands – King Island, the Furneaux Group and the Kent Group – they are listed separately and are, incidentally, part of Tasmania.

My favourite dish was the first course. The richness of the avocado matched the round mouth feel of the Chardonnay. But the cool climate acidity kept up with the bright lime flavours in the dish. The tuna was so fresh. What a pure pairing!
Joe's favourite was the lamb curry. It had all the flavours of the spices but with out the heat that might have overwhelmed the wine. It was a rich blend of earthy flavours, perfectly in balance with the subtle flavours of the Pinot Noir.
The entire evening was magical.


or are there any other valuable goods I could bring in the airplane like baby alpaca etc.
Someone mentioned to me yesterday that he knew a fellow who made some cash taking cashmere cloth to Spain. No idea if this is a good idea or not, but thought I'd pass it on for whatever it was worth.
Unless you have a familiar and reliable source for purchasing silver, I would advise you not to just go and buy it from a random silver dealer. There are thousands of them literally. However, you may not get what you think you're buying. Not being paranoid nor pessimist but very real. There are various types of low quality silver here in Peru and all too often a foreign shopper is the best prey. I export 950 Sterling Silver to the US and know my way around the industry here. I have very reliable sources of quality products in gold or silver. If you'd like some guidance, I'd be happy to help guide you.

I would appreciate information about buying 925 or 950 silver in bulk form here in Peru. Thanks.
Very good advice about buying silver.

Are the gods of Forbidden Lands real within this world? Or are they just old stories, told and retold until they take of different meanings, different names even?
One thing I like about the pantheon of gods described here is the idea that a number of the gods are not a pantheon at all, but rather a different understanding of, or name for, a god who may or may not exist. When things are going badly, it natural to desire, or to ascribe your survival to, a Protector God, and so it is for the humans of the Forbidden Lands. They all agree that such a god exists, but they can not agree on its naming or shape.
According to legend, he flew before the ships in the form of a raven with a snake in his claws.
The first schism is over which of these two creatures is the actual god. Was it the snake, Wyrm, carried by a holy but not divine bird? Or was it Raven, who carried the mother of snakes and words across the oceans to prepare the land for humankind?
So two human churches are pitted against one another: The Congregation of the Serpent regards the Raven Church as heretics, and their persecution of the Raven Sisters drove the first human, or Ailander, settlement in the Forbidden Lands. That migration caused the Raven church itself to split – an offshoot cult, the Reapenters or Blackwings, believe that they must rid the Forbidden Lands of humankind, by killing themselves only after they have killed every other human in Ravenland.
A more enlightened school of thought might suggest that perhaps Raven and Snake are aspects of the same divinity. As such a school does exist. However, they use different names. Believing the bird made of iron, and the snake wood, they think it is the materials themselves, not the animals that are divine, and call them Rust and Heme.
But so far we are talking only about the god(s) of humans. The kin who lived here before Wyrm (or the Raven, or Rust and Heme) led humankind here have their own gods, and the Dwarven god is Huge.
The dwarves have their own creation myth, which gives them a task of building the world big enough to reach Huge's Hearth, the sun. I note with interest that they are charged with "expanding the Earth" – note that capital E, does this suggest we are playing in some far future or aeons old version of our own planet? Theirs seems a fascinating religion, which I want to know more about. They believe in reincarnation, but also "in a parallel spirit world, where their soles rest and are trained by Huge for their next work shift in the world." This of all the new takes on the "standard fantasy" racial types is the one that intrigued me most.
"Clay is the god who shaped the world at the Protector's behest," worshipped by the Elvensping, but only also by "many elves". Which suggests that though Clay is a product of elven society (Elvenspring are half-elves from elven culture remember), some elves may have grown beyond worship. That said "all elves" honour Wail. Wail is, according to the Raven Sisters, the wife of the Raven, who carries him and all other birds through the sky. So, Wail is the wind, and weather, and Flow is the water goddess "worshipped by elves, Elvenspring, and villagers." Maybe the elves are not as enlightened as I thought they might be.
The Nightwalker is the oldest of all the gods. "Normal people do not worship him but may seek to appease him to avoid bad luck and disaster, sometimes by blood sacrifice." I like that, "normal people," implying that there may well be weird psychopaths who definitely do worship him.
The final god named is Horn, brought to the Ravenland by the Aslene. Or rather, since Horn is a volcano in their homelands, they have brought the worship of him, as a god of fire.
I like this pantheon. I like it enough to wish there was a mechanic, like prayer in Coriolis, that encourages characters to demonstrate their devotion to one or more of them. But I also like the gritty, direct cost of re-rolls in this system.


eNEWSLETTER - APRIL 2010 - Archived Newsletter Messages -- All Creatures Are Truly Special, Inc.
She then told me the dog had stood in the very place she was left for about two hours and then lay down for another couple of hours. She was waiting (in vain) for her people to return for her. My Aunt then carried food and water out to her and told her, �You are welcome to come up on the porch, out of the sun, if you want. Nobody will hurt you here.� After a while Auntie went to see about the dog. And there, in her front porch swing, was the dog�and both the food and water bowls. I guess the dog felt safe.
And that�s what we did. On the day I carried her to live with me, I asked, �Have you named her?� �No, I was waiting to see what fit her,� she replied. �Well, if you don�t care, I want to call her Lucy.� And Lucy became my constant companion, after that first night here, that is. On that first night, Lucy went back to Auntie, carrying her food bowl with her. Later that day, Auntie called to tell me Lucy was headed back to my house�again carrying her food bowl. She never left again.
Lucy is the Queen Bee of this place. She has complete freedom to go anywhere on the place�be it indoors or out. She is one of the most intelligent beings I have ever met. Lucky for me!
Due to extremely high blood pressure, I spent several days having periods of passing out. One of these periods happened while out in the yard. I came to with Lucy gently licking my face. I wasn�t able to stand alone, much less walk. Lucy let me put much of my weight on her, and we made it into the house. Lucy wasn�t satisfied with that. She kept licking me until I finally got into bed. She stayed in the room with me until my son came to take me to the doctor.
She still sleeps in the house�faithfully trailing me to the bathroom, the kitchen, etc. I let her out into the fenced yard, but she expects to be let back in or she will stand on the steps and howl. She clearly thinks I can�t get along with her. And I completely agree!!
POLICE DOG UPDATE�As we told you in the last newsletter, two of our pups were selected for training to become police dogs specializing in finding illegal drugs. They are presently with the trainer, who reports they are exceptional trainees�he calls them �naturals.� We expect their training will be finished in the next month or so and they will become official members of the force. We plan to announce that in the May newsletter and put their pictures (with badges) on our website.
FENCING PROJECT�We want to thank the following supporters for their donation toward the cost of our new fence: Mildred Ferrell, Julie Ashton, Dena Roesler, and William Briggs. You have helped us reduce our bill to slightly under $500.
THE STAMP REPORT�Since our last report, we have received a total of 120 stamps (vs. 157 required to send out this newsletter and other mail) from Mardi Hoofnagle, Linda Gettle, Benjamin Jones (and thanks for the enclosures), M/M A. N. Holbrook, Jr., and Jamie Reagin. This is a bit discouraging�but we�re sure that May will be a much better month!!
To Mary Jane Johnson for the lovely card and equally lovely wishes. You do brighten our day.
To Elly Meyer for the wonderful polar bear and cub card. And our congratulations on your 92nd birthday on March 10.
To Dena Roesler for your donation, matched by your company, to help with our veterinary expenses.
To Nadine Hereth for your good wishes. We definitely agree that a true friend is a gift.
To Estelle Lemming for the picture and story of Jordan, the Brittany Spaniel taken in on a �temporary� basis by Cynthia Curatalo of Hilo, HI. Jordan, in his Hawaiian shirt, is just adorable. And, we�re not surprised that the arrangement is now permanent.
To Kathy Beckman for your much appreciated blessings.
A donation earmarked for our electric bill (latest bill was about $425) and/or garbage bill (currently $201.17).
Stuart, VA � March 3, 2010 � About two weeks before Christmas, Deacon (an 85-lb. German shepherd) went missing from his family home in rural Stuart. During the first couple of days, Deacon�s family (Pamela and Keith Holt) assumed he was running in the fields behind their home, just enjoying the outdoors. But they soon became worried and contacted the local dog warden, and pound and the sheriff�s office�to no avail. After two weeks, they gave up, fearing he was dead or had been stolen. BUT, a curious call in February from a man in Florida changed everything.
The man, who said he was from Animal Control in Deland, FL., told the Holt�s he was looking at their dog. And, after he asked if the dog�s name was Bruno, the family knew it was their dog�as Deacon had been originally named Bruno when he was micro-chipped. The Holt�s drove 10 hours to Florida to pick him up.
They believe Dean was stolen by people who had hoped to breed him�not knowing he had been neutered�and somehow the dog ended up in Florida.
Mr. and Mrs. Holt vow to never take the chance of this happening again, stating that �We are blessed to have Deacon back and will do what we must to keep him safe and sound."

In the previous article we went over the process of choosing the certificate but for this article we will use a Public one. Now, we need to decide the names that we are going to use in our certificate to support our infrastructure.
We are going to use a simple scenario (Figure 01) that can be made more complex later on (by adding more servers, a DR site, etc.). Our initial scenario has a Domain Controller (BsADC01) and a single Exchange Server 2013 (BsAEX01) while our Active Directory has an FQDN named apatricio.local and the SMTP of the future users will be @AndersonPatricio.info.
So from now on, any time that you see AndersonPatricio.info you should replace it with your external domain name of your lab/environment.
It is a best practice to avoid a single point of failure which means that 2 (two) Domain Controllers and at least 2 (two) Exchange Servers in a DAG for a production environment.
If you do not have the Exchange Server 2013 in place yet, you can check this MSExchange.org article. This article gives all the steps required to deploy your server.
Well, we do know that those names are not going to fly with external clients and to simplify things we will be using only two entries in our future SAN/UC Certificate.
Using just two names, we can address all the requirements for the current environment. We will need a single name for all services (OWA, Outlook Anywhere, OAB, EWS and so forth) and another one for Autodiscover (there are a couple of methods to get that going but we use the easiest one which is creating an A record in DNS).
The webmail can be replaced for any name that you use to access your OWA, however, the Autodiscover is not going to be used by the clients explicitly and since that one is hard coded in the Outlook discovery process we cannot do anything about it.
Now, that we are aware of the names to add in our new certificate we can start working on the technical side, to prepare our environment to support a Public Certificate and those two names.
In our decision to use just two names (AndersonPatricio.info instead of apatricio.local) you may have noticed that they are external names. The reason for that is that Public CA will not support internal names in the near future. However, such a change requires configuration in the internal DNS by creating a mirror of the Public Zone in our internal network. This configuration is also known as split-brain DNS.
Using this technique, we create an internal zone of our public domain name inside our network and after that, all clients will request information only for that zone which means that we must make sure that all records that we have on the internet are added to this new internal zone.
Let's say you have an IIS in the internal network and you publish your institutional page on that server. The beauty of using split-brain is that when an internal computer goes to www.company.ca the IP used will be the internal one to access the server; when the same client goes to the internet and accesses the same address (www.company.ca) the page displayed will be the same but the IP address of the site will be the public one. The entire process is transparent for computers because the IP is only based on which DNS Server is being used by the client.
In our scenario our Active Directory domain is apatricio.local (and NetBIOS is APATRICIO) and when we open the DNS Server Manager (Figure 02) we have the following zones under Forward Lookup Zones.
Right-click on Forward Lookup Zones and click on New Zone... on the first page of the wizard (Figure 03), leave default settings and click Next.
On the Active Directory Zone Replication Scope page (Figure 04), we can define how this replication will work where the most common options are the first two: the first replicates to all DNS in the forest and the second option replicates to all DNS servers in the Domain. Click Next.
On the Zone Name page (Figure 05), type in the public name that in our case is AndersonPatricio.info and then click Next.
On the final page, just click Finish to complete the wizard and our new zone should be listed under Forward Lookup Zones. Click on View and then Advanced.
The last step allows the TTL information for any record to be shown in the graphical user interface.
In the new window, we are going to add first our webmail host pointing out to the Exchange Server 2013 IP address. We can also define the TTL (by default is 1 hour) and we may have to go back here when we increase the complexity of the environment by adding a DR site or something like that. Then, click Add host. A pop up displaying that the host record was created successfully will be displayed, just click OK (Figure 07).
Okay, we created the main A record for our Exchange Server deployment however, we have a split-brain DNS and any host that your internal users access from your public domain must be created here as well.
Before we go any further, create Autodiscover.AndersonPatricio.info pointing out to our Exchange Server 2013 as well. Even though this entry is not used by authenticated computers, it can be useful for ActiveSync devices in your internal Wi-Fi network and workstations that are not joined to the current Active Directory domain.
Now, you will need some time to complete your new zone however, I would like to point out a few hints before you start creating records. Bear in mind that when internal zone is mentioned we are referring to the split-brain DNS that we have just created that reflects your Public Domain zone.
Time for testing! Just open command prompt and try ping webmail.AndersonPatricio.info and you should be receiving the IP address of your internal Exchange Server. If we go one-step further and try to access https://webmail.AndersonPatricio.info you will hit the server but a certificate error message will be displayed, as shown in Figure 08. Do not worry about the Certificate error at this point as we will tackle it in the upcoming articles of this series.
That is not a requirement, however it can save time in the future when transition to Office365. By default, any new Active Directory will have only the FQDN as UPN (in our case APatricio.local) and the users can use two ways to authenticate which are: APATRICIO\name or [email protected]apatricio.local when their authentication is requested.
However, if an external user using Outlook requires entering a username and password he/she probably will try the e-mail address instead of @apatricio.local. In order to create consistency for end-users we can add a UPN in Active Directory to support the SMTP address (or public domain).
In order to manage UPNs, we need to open Active Directory Domain and Trusts, and right-click on the first item on the left and then Properties. In the new window (Figure 09), type in the SMTP domain that will be used for the users and then click Add and OK.
Do not add @ in the UPN, it is just the domain name.
When creating a new user in Active Directory Users and Computers or even Exchange Admin Center, make sure that you configure the UPN properly for the user (Figure 10).
A key point is that your users must have the domain that you are configuring in the new certificate, otherwise most of the tools that we are going to use will fail (especially when testing the autodiscover component).
In order to configure the SMTP to our end-users, the first step is to create an accepted domain in our Exchange Organization. Logged on Exchange Admin Center, click Mail flow, and then click accepted domains.
Click Add, and on the new page type in the name of the domain (without @) on both fields: Name and Accepted Domain and leave default settings for Authoritative domain and click save. The results will be similar to Figure 11.
Now that Exchange is able to handle traffic for the new domain that we created, we need to stamp the new SMTP address on our users. Click E-mail address policies and we should have just one entry called Default Policy, select it and click Edit, then click email address format and change the SMTP entry on the right side to use the new accepted domain that we have just created which matches our future new certificates. Click Save, where you may be asked to apply the new policy and if that is the case, back to the EAC page, select the Default Policy and hit Apply which is located on the right side, and confirm by clicking Yes when requested.
Now, any new user will receive the @AndersonPatricio.info as primary SMTP.
In this second article of this series, we focused on prerequisites to reduce the number of certificates and complexity in Exchange Server 2013. As part of this process we created a split-brain DNS, UPN configuration (to facilitate the authentication process) and accepted domains.
In the next article, we will be requesting the certificate for our environment and all steps involved with this task.

This is a BIG question. I studied acting and theatre for 4 years and got a degree in it. That helps me enormously for every book. I "pre-read" the book before I record and I familiarize myself with the author, the story, the characters and the point of view. If it's familiar already, then the prep time is a bit less.

How gorgeous is this Honda RC-45? In a market full of restored to original machines it's great to find a RC-45 that's ready to rumble. This beauty is more than just a skin deep racer. The spec list is impressive, there's stacks of genuine HRC goodies lurking under that race paint. These include HRC kit wiring loom, radiator, PGM ignition upgrades, pistons and much more. The heads have been ported to HRC spec too. There's an Ohlins shock propping up the rear and the forks have been spruced up internally too.
The double outlet Akrapovic silencers finish it off nicely.
If you are at Spa this weekend and have 25,000 euros it could be yours!

A TREATISE OF HUMAN NATURE
SECT. V. OF THE IMPRESSIONS OF THE SENSES AND MEMORY.
In this kind of reasoning, then, from causation, we employ materials, which are of a mixed and heterogeneous nature, and which, however connected, are yet essentially different from each other. All our arguments concerning causes and effects consist both of an impression of the memory or, senses, and of the idea of that existence, which produces the object of the impression, or is produced by it. Here therefore we have three things to explain, viz. First, The original impression. Secondly, The transition to the idea of the connected cause or effect. Thirdly, The nature and qualities of that idea.
As to those impressions, which arise from the senses, their ultimate cause is, in my opinion, perfectly inexplicable by human reason, and it will always be impossible to decide with certainty, whether they arise immediately from the object, or are produced by the creative power of the mind, or are derived from the author of our being. Nor is such a question any way material to our present purpose. We may draw inferences from the coherence of our perceptions, whether they be true or false; whether they represent nature justly, or be mere illusions of the senses.
When we search for the characteristic, which distinguishes the memory from the imagination, we must immediately perceive, that it cannot lie in the simple ideas it presents to us; since both these faculties borrow their simple ideas from the impressions, and can never go beyond these original perceptions. These faculties are as little distinguished from each other by the arrangement of their complex ideas. For though it be a peculiar property of the memory to preserve the original order and position of its ideas, while the imagination transposes and changes them, as it pleases; yet this difference is not sufficient to distinguish them in their operation, or make us know the one from the other; it being impossible to recall the past impressions, in order to compare them with our present ideas, and see whether their arrangement be exactly similar. Since therefore the memory, is known, neither by the order of its complex ideas, nor the nature of its simple ones; it follows, that the difference betwixt it and the imagination lies in its superior force and vivacity. A man may indulge his fancy in feigning any past scene of adventures; nor would there be any possibility of distinguishing this from a remembrance of a like kind, were not the ideas of the imagination fainter and more obscure.
It frequently happens, that when two men have been engaged in any scene of action, the one shall remember it much better than the other, and shall have all the difficulty in the world to make his companion recollect it. He runs over several circumstances in vain; mentions the time, the place, the company, what was said, what was done on all sides; till at last he hits on some lucky circumstance, that revives the whole, and gives his friend a perfect memory of every thing. Here the person that forgets receives at first all the ideas from the discourse of the other, with the same circumstances of time and place; though he considers them as mere fictions of the imagination. But as soon as the circumstance is mentioned, that touches the memory, the very same ideas now appear in a new light, and have, in a manner, a different feeling from what they had before. Without any other alteration, beside that of the feeling, they become immediately ideas of the memory, and are assented to.
Since, therefore, the imagination can represent all the same objects that the memory can offer to us, and since those faculties are only distinguished by the different feeling of the ideas they present, it may be proper to consider what is the nature of that feeling. And here I believe everyone will readily agree with me, that the ideas of the memory are more strong and lively than those of the fancy.
A painter, who intended to represent a passion or emotion of any kind, would endeavour to get a sight of a person actuated by a like emotion, in order to enliven his ideas, and give them a force and vivacity superior to what is found in those, which are mere fictions of the imagination. The more recent this memory is, the clearer is the idea; and when after a long interval he would return to the contemplation of his object, he always finds its idea to be much decayed, if not wholly obliterated. We are frequently in doubt concerning the ideas of the memory, as they become very weak and feeble; and are at a loss to determine whether any image proceeds from the fancy or the memory, when it is not drawn in such lively colours as distinguish that latter faculty. I think, I remember such an event, says one; but am not sure. A long tract of time has almost worn it out of my memory, and leaves me uncertain whether or not it be the pure offspring of my fancy.
And as an idea of the memory, by losing its force and vivacity, may degenerate to such a degree, as to be taken for an idea of the imagination; so on the other hand an idea of the imagination may acquire such a force and vivacity, as to pass for an idea of the memory, and counterfeit its effects on the belief and judgment. This is noted in the case of liars; who by the frequent repetition of their lies, come at last to believe and remember them, as realities; custom and habit having in this case, as in many others, the same influence on the mind as nature, and infixing the idea with equal force and vigour.
Thus it appears, that the belief or assent, which always attends the memory and senses, is nothing but the vivacity of those perceptions they present; and that this alone distinguishes them from the imagination. To believe is in this case to feel an immediate impression of the senses, or a repetition of that impression in the memory. It is merely the force and liveliness of the perception, which constitutes the first act of the judgment, and lays the foundation of that reasoning, which we build upon it, when we trace the relation of cause and effect.

Buyer's Handbook:
A guide to CDN technology benefits, providers and services
Article 5 of 6
How to select a CDN provider that addresses your specialized needs
Leading CDN services offer a wide range of traffic management functionality, including application load balancing, and provide a variety of network security services.
Kevin Tolly
The Tolly Group
Beyond traditional application delivery acceleration and optimization functions, CDN providers also offer a suite...
of specialized services that can enhance the network security and availability of your content. These range from load balancing to geographically oriented services, such as the delivery of content to China.
Here, we explore content delivery network (CDN) services from Akamai Technologies, Amazon CloudFront, CDNetworks Inc., CenturyLink, Cloudflare Inc., Fastly Inc., Imperva Incapsula, Instart Logic Inc., Limelight Networks Inc. and Verizon Digital Media Services. For a more comprehensive list of features and functionality, refer to the chart below.
One of the key methods for optimizing delivery at the network level is to direct traffic to the best source for delivery. Many companies already use some form of load balancing in their data centers to provide a front end that distributes traffic to a local farm of web servers. CDNs can do that for you on a global level. In addition, they can provide another layer of caching to further reduce the demand for content on your local servers.
Application load balancing. Load balancing is a fairly broad term, covering everything from simple domain-name-system-based traffic balancing to sophisticated Layer 7 load balancing based on traffic content. So, it's no surprise that every CDN provider examined here offers this functionality.
As a stand-alone product class, devices performing functions like these are called application delivery controllers (ADCs), and they can offer a wide range of features and performance. It's likely what you will be able to get from a CDN provider will deliver only a subset of what ADC-only vendors can offer.
Most CDN providers balance traffic at the domain-name-system level -- the most basic take on load balancing. Akamai provides load balancing based on HTTP header attributes, such as URL path, device characteristics and request method. Fastly provides similar functionality and offers client location as an additional session characteristic that can be used to direct traffic.
Origin shield. Origin shield is an extra caching layer that's located between the CDN edge and the user, delivering content while shielding the origin server from handling additional traffic. All the vendors, except AWS CloudFront and Cloudflare, provide this feature, and CDNetworks offers a paid add-on origin shield.
Advanced features offered by leading CDN providers
The CDN is in the ideal position between the end user and origin server to provide a variety of security services.
The CDN is in the ideal position between the end user and origin server to provide a variety of security services. All the CDN providers profiled here offer various security-related products. Among those vendors, Incapsula is unique in that it offers security as a service.
Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection. All the vendors profiled here provide some level of DDoS protection, either integrated within the core service or by using another vendor's product. But they differ in the details. Limelight uses multiple locations at the CDN edge to monitor for DDoS attacks. Fastly provides DDoS as an option and can provide emergency reconfiguration and personalized response plans under its attack mitigation options.
Incapsula identifies itself, first and foremost, as a cybersecurity company and advertises a service-level agreement for detecting and blocking all attacks in less than 10 seconds.
Web application firewall. WAF functionality is available across the board, with the exception of CenturyLink, due to its focus on large-scale video.
Rate limiting. Closely related to WAF functionality, rate limiting can prevent resources from being overwhelmed and help prevent intentional or inadvertent denial-of-service situations. While not supported by CDNetworks or Fastly, the eight other CDN providers examined here offer some level of rate-limiting support. The granularity of the ability to control rate limiting varies.
With Akamai, customers can set rate thresholds. Once exceeded, a customer can generate an alert. Customers also have the option to block the offending client. Instart lets customers specify the time span for rate monitoring and limiting. CDN provider Instart Logic also lets customers determine how long to block an offending client if the threshold is exceeded. Limelight Network allows customers to cap the number of requests per second that originate from a single IP address.
Bot detection and protection. Not all clients accessing CDN services are human. Programs, or bots, are quite common. But not all bots are bad bots. Web search engines and other programs regularly scan websites for content. But customers may wish to limit the resources made available to bots. As a result, bot detection and protection of resources can be an important consideration.
All CDN vendors, except CenturyLink, offer some kind of bot support, either integrated into their products or in partnership with third-party providers. Given the relatively esoteric nature of bots, it's helpful to understand how individual vendors support them.
Akamai's bot manager application allows users to manage how bots access resources, rather than automatically blocking all of them. Instart detects bots and provides a detailed analysis of the bots' behavior. Limelight asks users to answer questions to verify they aren't bots. Fastly partners with bot detection specialist PerimeterX for its bot detection and management capabilities.
Geographical considerations
While CDNs can deliver content globally, some geographical areas, regions or countries may have specific requirements. As a result, certain CDN providers have chosen to specialize in offering services to businesses with geographically specific needs.
China-specific services. Providing web services to users in China has unique requirements. Chinese authorities track web usage, so be sure your CDN provider explicitly recognizes and addresses this fact. CenturyLink doesn't have an offering for China at this time, and Verizon makes no direct reference to a China service. But the other eight vendors either offer a China-specific service directly or do so via partners.
Some of the vendors have specific license requirements for China. If reaching users on mainland China or conducting e-commerce with those users is a requirement, you should research and verify the scope of the CDN provider's China service before delving too deeply into specific CDN capabilities.
Using extensive research into the content delivery network market, TechTarget editors focused on 10 leading providers of shared global content delivery network services. Our research included data from TechTarget surveys and reports from research firms, including Gartner and Forrester.
Storage location for information and GDPR compliance. Privacy laws and, therefore, data protection vary by country or region. In May, GDPR went into effect in the EU, making storage location an even more pressing issue. CDNs generally store data worldwide. Before this year, many companies might not have cared where their data sets were being stored, as long as they were secure and performed well. Now, the physical location of data might dictate what rules and regulations apply to that data. Some vendors examined here handle this issue as a regulatory one, while others handle it as a performance issue and some as both.
Given GDPR is a relatively new requirement, expect support to evolve and CDN providers to become more specific about how they oversee storage. Akamai confirms compliance with relevant Payment Card Industry and GDPR regulations without providing specifics on storage locations. Fastly allows customers to specify which point of presence can receive and cache requests in support of GDPR compliance.
CenturyLink storage locations are available in several U.S. sites, along with ones in the United Kingdom and continental Europe. And the carrier can anonymize or strip out personal and other demographic information from logs to comply with GDPR regulations. Customers of CDN provider Instart can choose where to store information in its locations in the United States, EU, India and Asia-Pacific.

MARKETING SPOTLIGHT: The Dove® Campaign for Real Beauty
It's hard to believe it has been more than ten years since Unilever launched the Dove® Campaign for Real Beauty. The campaign launched in September 2004 with an ad campaign featuring "real women whose appearances are outside the stereotypical norms of beauty," according to Dove.com. The ad above is one of the first ads that ran in the inaugural campaign.
The campaign evolved in 2005 with advertising that spotlighted six women with "real bodies and real curves." The following year found the third phase of the campaign focusing on helping young girls and young women overcome feelings of low self-esteem. That year, a fund was created to "act as an agent of change to inspire and educate girls and women about a wide definition of beauty." The campaign took on a new approach in 2010 with the Dove® Movement for Self-Esteem and gave women the opportunity to "mentor the next generation and celebrate real beauty."
It was a bold approach, but did it work? According to Advertising Age, sales went from $2.5 billion in its first year to $4 billion today. But Ad Age asked the question: did it change perceptions? It's an interesting question because it implies a multi-faceted marketing objective. Did they sell more of the product? They sure did. But were they aiming for a bigger impact? That's an unqualified 'yes.' As far as changing perceptions, Dove says that research from Harvard psychologist Nancy Etcoff, who looked at the campaign, found that more women today define beauty on a wider array of qualities beyond looks, such as confidence.
There's a lesson to be learned from Dove as you establish your own company's marketing objectives. Selling more products is one thing, but to truly ingrain your brand into the hearts and minds of consumers, you need to think beyond sales. The Dove campaign had lots of extensions that carried their message of the need for a wider definition of beauty beyond traditional advertising. They created a fund to teach girls about self-esteem and partnered with organizations like the Girl Scouts and Boys & Girls Clubs of America. The campaign execution was also unique. In 2006 Dove released a video that practically blew up YouTube. Today it has more than 18 million views (https://youtu.be/iYhCn0jf46U). It was considered a tipping point because it turned the campaign into a household name.
The current iteration of the campaign is called Real Beauty Sketches. It continues to carry Dove's message of power and beauty.
As you think about your own company and brand, how can you go beyond the tried-and-true to elevate your brand's values? (For more on purpose-driven branding see People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it.) Can you start a conversation with consumers that gets them to think differently about your brand?

"Just Look at What You Did!" is the headline on a Nicholas Kristof column, letting readers know that his request that they commemorate Mother's Day with donations led to a $135,000 gift to Shining Hope for Communities, a project in the Kibera slum of Kenya led by Kennedy Odede '12 and Jessica Posner '09. Kirstof writes: "So while in Kenya recently, I dropped by to see what was being done with your money. In the grim alleys of the Kibera slum in the capital of Nairobi, I found a dazzling girls' school being built with some of those donations — and, yes, I found a love story." Read more.

dc.description.abstract Field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and electric force microscopy (EFM) measurements were carried out on bulk Agx(Ge0.25Se0.75)100−x glasses with x = 5 and 15 at.%. The presence of chemical contrasts and electrical inhomogeneity throughout the samples indicated that the glasses were phase separated. Moreover it appears that while silver-rich nodules of ∼1 μm were embedded in a silver-poor connecting phase in the glass containing 5 at.% Ag, it was the opposite that occurred in the glass containing 15 at.% Ag. Such an inversion explains the large difference of seven orders of magnitude in the conductivity of the two glasses.

Two Durham residents injured in accident
A motorcyclist and the driver of a sedan were killed Monday in crashes in Seymour and Wallingford, both involving moving trucks.
Elizabeth Benton and Michael Gannon
Published 12:00 am EDT, Tuesday, July 26, 2005
Two people also were seriously hurt in the accident on Route 68 in Wallingford.
Stephen L. Hulbert Jr., 46, of Waterbury, formerly of Orange, died early Monday after his motorcycle collided with a pickup truck at the entrance to the Seybridge Plaza Shopping Center on Route 67 in Seymour.
In Wallingford, Oleen T. Wilson, 69, of 3 Darling St., Southington, died when the 1990 Geo Prism she was driving ran into the side of a dump truck turning onto Route 68.
Her daughter, Pamela L. Kirsch, 39, of 67-R Laurel Brook Road, Durham and Kirsch's 9-year-old daughter, Jamie, were in stable condition at Yale-New Haven on Monday evening.
Hulbert, a carpenter and father of two, was treated at the scene and taken to Griffin Hospital, where he died a short while later.
"He was very loved by his family and he had a great heart," said his daughter, Elizabeth Hulbert, 23, of Meriden. "He lived free and enjoyed every moment of it."
Hulbert also had a son, Stephen Hulbert III, 22. Police had listed the elder Hulbert's address as 830 Dogburn Road, Orange, but his daughter said he lived in Waterbury.
Lt. Robert Fox said Hulbert was heading westbound on Route 67 just after midnight when he struck a pickup truck driven by Gary Jones, 37, of Bristol. Jones, who was turning left from the eastbound lane, was not injured, police said.
Fox said Hulbert suffered severe head trauma and a broken arm, leg and ribs in the crash.
A spokesman at the state medical examiner's office said he died of multiple blunt traumatic injuries; his death has been ruled accidental.
Fox said he suspected the incident would remain under investigation for some time. He refused to say whether alcohol played a part in the accident.
The driver of the truck in the Wallingford crash, Michael Sandacata, 38, of 66 Hemingway Ave., East Haven, was not injured. The truck is owned by MLS Construction of 400 Totoket Road, North Branford.
A preliminary police investigation determined Sandacata was driving the truck south on High Hill Road at 10:23 a.m. and turned onto Route 68. Wilson's blue 1990 Geo Prism was heading west on Route 68.
The two vehicles collided on Route 68. The momentum carried both the truck and the car to the shoulder of the eastbound lane, with both vehicles coming to rest facing east.
Wilson, her daughter and granddaughter were taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital, where Wilson was pronounced dead.
Route 68 was closed from Williams Road to where it becomes Durham Road until about 3:50 p.m. Wallingford and state police examined both vehicles. The roof of the car was removed when Wallingford firefighters had to extricate the injured.
Police Lt. Marc Mikulski said state troopers who specialize in commercial truck inspections would examine the truck.
There is a stop sign at the end of High Hill Road. Police said they would look at whether the dump truck's brakes failed.
Residents of High Hill Road say the intersection can be a difficult one.
"People come speeding down the hill and don't know there's a stop sign here," said Sarah Salvato. "And it takes a long time to turn into or out of this street during rush hour because the traffic from (Interstate) 91 is so backed up.
Ed Laudano showed where tire marks crossed the corner of his property near the intersection.
"I cleared away (tree branches and shrubs) on the corner so people could see better," he said. He would like to see a warning sign farther up High Hill alerting drivers to the stop sign.
No charges have been filed in the accident. Police are asking anyone who may have seen the accident to call Officer Christian Evans at 294-2819.
