Kuldeep Yadav claimed the best figures by a spinner in a one-day international in England to set India on the way to a massive win in the series opener.
His 6-25, also the best figures by a left-arm spinner in any ODI, shot England out for 268 at Trent Bridge.
That target was made to look meagre by Rohit Sharma's unbeaten 137 and 75 from India captain Virat Kohli.
They shared 167 as the visitors eased over the line with eight wickets and almost 10 overs to spare. India, who have already won the Twenty20 series 2-1, can take victory in the three-match series at Lord's on Saturday.
Riding on a terrific 167-run partnership between opener Rohit Sharma and skipper Virat Kohli, India on Thursday thumped England by 8 wickets in the first one-day international at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.
Chasing a target of 269, India chased down the total with 59 balls remaining. Shikhar Shawan (40 off 27 balls) and Rohit Sharma provided India with a solid start, contributing 59 runs for the first wicket. After Dhawan's departure, Kohli once again came to bat at number three position ahead of KL Rahul. Both Rohit and Kohli played brilliantly against the England spinners and seamers alike.
Rohit brought his 18th century off 82 balls and went on to remained unbeaten on 137. His innings was laced with 15 boundaries and four sixes. Virat also played a stellar 75-run knock off 82 balls before getting out stumped off Adil Rashid's delivery. For England, none of the bowlers looked threatening against Rohit and Kohli. Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid took one wicket each.

Nvidia partners have started to release information about their new graphics cards based upon the GeForce GT 1030 chipset. Yes, the leaks appear to have been correct as both EVGA and Manli have emailed HEXUS with details of their new GeForce GT 1030 graphics cards. Furthermore, I have found product pages featuring GT 1030-based products by MSI and Gigabyte, and there are likely to be several more. From Nvidia directly I haven't seen any publicity but the product pages with overview, features, specs and product images are now available.
Nvidia says that the GeForce GT 1030 packs a "powerful graphics engine," based on its latest Pascal architecture and is adept at tasks such as video editing and HD gaming. Buyers will benefit from the GeForce Experience and technologies like GameWorks, Game Ready drivers, GPU Boost 3.0, DirectX 12 and Vulkan. However, this GT card lacks support for GTX standard features such as G-Sync, Ansel, GameStream, - and of course it isn't VR Ready, doesn't support Simultaneous Multi-Projection, and can't be used in SLI.
The main purpose of the GT 1030 is if your integrated graphics are letting you down and you need a useful step up in performance. In testing by EVGA, a GeForce GT 1030 in an Intel Core i3-6100 based system offered double the 3D gaming performance of a Core i5-6600 system relying on its iGPU (3DMark 11).
As mentioned in the intro, Nvidia partner GT 1030 designs facilitate the extra performance available from this card in various offerings. Many are low profile, single slot sized, and even passively cooled designs.
Partners have pushed the GPU clocks a little. For example EVGA's trio of GT 1030 cards all offer a base/boost of 1290MHz /1544MHz whether actively cooled or not. EVGA's offerings, ictured directly above, include a GeForce GT 1030 SC Single Slot, a GT 1030 SC Low Profile, and a GT 1030 SC Passive Low Profile.
Yeah some reviews of the low end gpu's wouldn't go a miss. They're potentially ideal for media pc's with 'light' gaming duties so testing around the use for media decoding etc as well as gaming performance would be great.

Q: Permissions Error in Starting R Shiny Server I had Shiny loaded on my Ubunto 14.04 machine and it was working fine. I just upgraded to 16.04 LTS and now it no longer works. I have reinstalled Shiny and followed the instructions here, to no avail.
I have made a user group called shiny-apps that has read-write permissions for my web apps:
owner@shiny-smith:/srv/shiny-server$ ls -l

lrwxrwxrwx 1 owner shiny-apps 37 Jul 13  2015 sample-apps -> /opt/shiny-server/samples/sample-apps

and both 'shiny' and 'owner' are members of shiny-apps group:
owner@shiny-smith:/srv/shiny-server$ groups owner
owner : owner adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare shiny-apps
owner@shiny-smith:/srv/shiny-server$ groups shiny
shiny : shiny shiny-apps

However, checking the shiny-server still shows a permissions error:

Though several different tests exist, there are three main categories of HIV testing available on the market today: Antibody test, Viral Load tests and a Combination test that measures both antibodies and viral load.
Antibody tests
The human body produces antibodies which are specialized proteins in reaction to a foreign protein from itself. These foreign proteins are called antigens. Antibodies are a natural defense response to protect the body. An HIV antibody test measures the amount of antibodies present to fight off the HIV infection.
It can take up to three months after infection, for the body to produce enough antibodies for an accurate test result. Antibody tests are the most common HIV tests available.
Types of Antibody Tests:
Rapid Antibody Test takes approximately 20 minutes to obtain the results. The test can be done on a few drops of blood from a finger prick or on oral fluid obtained from a cotton swab on the inside of the cheek.
ELISA (EIA) Test. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test is one of the more popular HIV tests that measures antibodies in the bloodstream. The test can be done on blood, oral fluid or urine samples. Because the ELISA test is very sensitive, there is a downside of having some false positives, as other types of antibodies other than those to HIV may be measured. In any event, both the Rapid Antibody Test and the ELISA test are used in conjunction with the Western Blot test.
Western Blot is used as a confirmatory test when either the Rapid Antibody or the ELISA test are positive.
Viral Load Tests
The phrase viral loads refers to the amount of virus in the body. This is for HIV or any virus.
HIV works by making more and more copies of itself throughout the body. Without treatment, the viral load can become very high, which is bad for the patient. However, today's antiviral therapy will actually stop the HIV virus from making copies at all, thus preventing the viral load from increasing.
This is why early detection is so important, because you want to halt the viral load while it is already very low and prevent it from increasing. Though there is no known cure for HIV, proper treatment can make the viral load so low it is very unlikely to infect others.
RNA testing is a bit more direct by measuring the actual presence of virus material (RNA) in the blood. Though there may be few symptoms during these first few days after infection, the virus is continuing to produce more and more of itself. RNA testing can track increases and decreases of HIV viral load in order to evaluate treatment.
Early Detection HIV RNA Test
HIV RNA testing can be taken much earlier than the antibody tests above, before the body even begins to produce antibodies at all. In fact, the early test window is the major advantage HIV RNA testing has over antibody testing.
HIV RNA testing is the most sensitive, and accurate, early testing option for HIV available on the market today.
P24 Antigen Test (antibody-antigen test, or HIV Ab-Ag test)
A major HIV protein called P24, is produced 10-14 days after infection before antibodies are produced. The levels continue to rise and peak within 3-4 weeks after exposure and become non-detectable after 5-6 weeks. The P24 test is a 4th generation Antibody test that can detect the P24 antigen and antibody from a small sampling of blood from a finger prick.
Conclusion: Which HIV Test is Right for Me?
Antibody tests can take anywhere from one to three months to yield an accurate result and tend to be the least expensive type. Combination tests a slightly more.
RNA testing is also affordable and can identify the virus after just a few days of possible exposure, giving the best possible option for treatment. This way, patients can start treatments when the viral load is very low and keep it very low. The benefits here far outweigh any drawbacks.

Once a completed project is saved, users can run calculations through the Simulations window by choosing FDTD as the Create Simulation option in the upper-left corner. In the Create FDTD Simulation window that opens, users can set up electromagnetic calculations to run through XF's calculation engine.
The Name field at the top of the window provides space for a user-defined simulation identifier. This name appears in the Simulations window once the simulation is created, and is editable from that window through the right-click menu. The selections made in the tabs below are the specifications associated with the named simulation.
The Choose Source tab is available only when a project utilizes at least one external excitation or static voltage point. Within the tab, users can choose one or both of the two available options: Discrete Sources and Use External Excitation.
Checking the Discrete Sources option activates cell edges on which the electric field is modified using an input waveform to behave as a voltage or current source, such as a circuit component or waveguide interface.
Checking the Use External Excitation option enables the Active Excitation setting, allowing users to choose from the project's external excitations. Only one type of external excitation can be active at a time, so users can select which plane wave to use for each calculation.
Setting up a parameter sweep is one of three basic steps that must be completed in order to run a parameter sweep. The Setup Parameter Sweeps tab settings are enabled by checking the Perform Parameter Sweep option. These settings determine how a calculation sweeps through a single parameter or group of parameters.
The window on the left side of the tab arranges parameter sweeps into groups, or sequences, and displays each parameter with a summary of values that specify the points at which a calculation is run. These values are determined by the settings on the right side of the tab.
Sequences and parameter sweeps are added and removed using the buttons above the window:
: adds a new sequence.
: adds a new parameter sweep to the selected sequence.
: deletes the selected parameter sweep or sequence.
: undoes the last action by reverting the tab's most recently changed setting to its previous value.
: redoes the last undone action.
A sequence is considered invalid until a parameter is selected, enabling the remaining fields.
The Parameter to Sweep drop-down menu includes the available parameters from the parameters window. The selected parameter is swept according to the specified values that appear below, which must include units when the parameter is defined with units in the parameters window.
The Sweep Type drop-down menu provides three options for defining the input values. This selection determines which other settings must be specified.
Start, Incr., Count: defines evenly spaced values that begin at the starting value, occur at each increment, and continue until the count number is fulfilled.
Start, End, Count: defines evenly spaced values by dividing the space between the starting and ending values by the count value.
Comma Separated: allows users to define each value, separated by a comma.
The additional specifications are used to define the parameter's set of values:
Count: determines the number of values contained in a set, when applicable.
Starting Value: determines the first value in a set. This value is the point at which the set begins.
Increment: determines the space between each value in a set.
Ending Value: determines the last value in a set. This value is the point at which the set ends.
Input Values: user-defined values with no starting, ending, increment, or count value restrictions. The entered values must be separated by a comma.
The Evaluated Values display the complete set of parameter values, as defined by the fields above.
These specifications are summarized for each parameter displayed in the left window. Each parameter sweep is listed with its number of evaluated values in parentheses. The product of these values is displayed as the number of runs in parentheses following each sequence. The sum of these runs, or total number of calculations run in a simulation, appears as the Runs value above the window.
Multiple sequences can be defined for a single parameter and one sequence can contain a sweep of multiple parameters, so numerous calculations can be run during one simulation.
The Setup S-Parameters tab is used for circuit components and waveguide interfaces. Checking the Compute S-Parameters option enables the Active Port(s) window that lists the project's defined ports. In a project with multiple ports defined, users can select any combination of ports or modes for circuit components or modal waveguide interfaces, respectively. Simulations with nodal waveguide interfaces require all pins to be selected. Each specified parameter sweep is performed for each active port.
The calculation for each active port provides data for one column of the S-parameter matrix. For example, selecting port one produces S11, S21, and S31 data for a three-port device. All ports must be selected in order to provide the full S-parameter matrix.
To calculate S-parameters, the simulation considers one port active at a time and sets each inactive port to its passive load equivalent. XF saves each calculation as one run in the same simulation, with each run differentiated by its active port number.
When Compute S-Parameters is unchecked, each port is active according to the power specified in its definition.
When collecting S-parameters with a nodal waveguide interface, the tab includes a Renormalization Impedance setting. This value is used in a modal to nodal conversion resulting in an impedance mismatch at the interface.
The Frequencies of Interest tab allows users to specify what steady-state frequency data to collect during simulation. Near field and far field sensors defined in the project tree do not include a frequency, so users must specify one or more frequencies when creating the simulation. Checking the Collect Steady-State Data option enables the settings found in the Frequencies and Options tabs below.
The Frequencies tab provides two options for specifying frequencies. The Use Waveform Frequency setting applies to simulations excited by a sinusoid waveform and saves steady-state data at the sinusoid frequency. For simulations excited by a broadband waveform, users can enter multiple steady-state frequencies by choosing the Use Specified Frequencies option and entering the desired values in the window below.
Frequencies are specified and removed using the buttons above the window:
: adds an editable field for a user-defined frequency. The adjacent drop-down arrow allows users to add a frequency list from the available options, or select Save current list to store the current set of entered frequencies as a list. The stored list appears only in this tab's drop-down menu.
: replaces all entered frequencies with the selected frequency list, and includes a Save current list option to store the current set of entered frequencies as a list. The stored list appears only in this tab's drop-down menu.
: removes the selected frequency from the window.
Delete All: removes all entered frequencies from the window.
The Options tab provides additional control over how steady-state data is generated. The FDTD solver converts the time domain results into frequency domain results when requested, and the temporary variables used to accomplish that must be stored.
The Store Data setting provides two options for storing data:
In Memory: stores temporary data for the steady-state computations in memory.
On Disk: stores temporary data for the steady-state computations in a file.
The default In Memory selection requires more memory than the On Disk option, but is also significantly faster. The On Disk selection reduces memory requirements to a manageable level when an insufficient amount of RAM is available, but reduces simulation speed due to file reading and writing.
The Dissipated Power Algorithm setting provides two options for determining dissipated power:
Far-field Method: computes dissipated power by subtracting the power radiated through the outer boundaries of the simulation space from the net input power due to discrete components and waveguides.
Near-field Method: computes dissipated power by summing the losses on all Yee-cell edges in the simulation space.
The Save data for post-simulation far zone steady-state processing option saves steady-state field values near the outer boundaries to a file on disk at the end of the simulation. This allows users to post-process the far zone field and gain distributions and add them to the results even after the simulation is complete.
The Normalize Fields setting only applies when using a broadband excitation. Checking this option adjusts the steady-state field data to the same level of available power, similar to using a sinusoidal source at each frequency. This ensures agreement between steady-state results computed from a broadband and sinusoid waveform.
The Use Frequency-Dependent Material Properties on Nondispersive Materials option applies to nondispersive materials defined as loss tangent, complex permittivity, and Cole-Cole. During timestepping, these materials have a constant permittivity, permeability, and conductivity versus frequency. When post-processing results for multiple steady-state frequencies, this option adjusts each material property to match the appropriate value at each requested frequency, affecting dissipated power, SAR, and magnetic flux results.
A running discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is used to compute steady-state fields from a broadband excitation. The Time Sampling group sets the DFT sampling interval and should be chosen to reduce aliasing. The Automatic Sampling Interval setting analyzes the frequency content of the input waveform and the requested steady-state frequencies to generate a sampling interval.
De-selecting this option enables the manual controls that determine the timestep sampling:
Frequency to Resolve: highest possible frequency to analyze.
Sampling Interval: specifies how often to sample the time-domain in timesteps.
These controls are interdependent, so entering one value also adjusts the other. The altered values are still editable and can be changed to the desired frequency and timestep.
The Specify Field Formulation tab is available when a plane wave source is chosen to excite the simulation space. XF supports both the total-field/scattered-field simulation technique and the pure scattered field technique.
Checking the Use Total/Scattered Field Formulation option applies the total-field scattered-field formulation, which is preferable and more accurate in most cases. When using the total-field/scattered-field technique, the total E- and H-fields are simulated in the portion of the simulation space that contains the geometry, but only scattered E- and H-fields are simulated near the boundaries. Using a total-field/scattered-field plane wave source in conjunction with periodic boundary conditions enables the interface controls containing two sets of lower and upper x, y, and z boundaries.
The Desired Interfaces section specifies on which sides of the simulation space to include the total-field/scattered-field interface. These definitions might not be applicable due to the outer boundary conditions, or must be applied in conjunction with other definitions. Because the desired selections might not be applied, the uneditable Effective Interfaces section displays the actual definitions applied during the calculation.
Unchecking the Use Total/Scattered Field Formulation applies the pure scattered-field technique to the simulation, in which the scattered E- and H-fields are simulated over the full FDTD mesh.
The Static Solver tab is available for projects with one or more static voltage points defined, and it allows users to initialize the simulation with static electric fields by checking the Enable Static Solver setting. When this option is de-selected, all defined static voltage points are ignored during simulation.
Once the static solver is enabled, its criteria is set using the following editable fields:
Maximum Iterations: greatest number of repetitions the solver will compute before terminating, regardless of whether or not it reaches the residual threshold.
Residual Threshold: the value at which the static solver converges. Decreasing this target value increases the static solution's accuracy at the cost of computation time.
Conductor Threshold: the conductivity at which the static solver defines a material as a good conductor.
When checked, the Initialize unspecified conductors option assigns a constant static voltage to unspecified conductors as well as conductors in contact with a static voltage point. Each specified conductor is assigned the voltage of the static voltage point to which it is electrically connected, and each unspecified conductor is assigned a voltage of zero. The static solver uses these initial values to calculate the surrounding electrostatic fields.
When unchecked, this option applies no value to an unspecified conductor and its voltage is calculated by the static solver using the initial values of specified conductors.
When checked, the Save static Voltage and E Field results option saves the calculated static voltage and electrostatic fields for viewing and post-processing. When this option is unchecked, the electrostatic fields initialize the simulation but are unavailable once the simulation has concluded.
Conceptually, the solver performs a number of computations before ending at a set maximum. Varying project contents and timestep durations demand more specific criteria for terminating a simulation. In the Specify Termination Criteria tab, users can set conditions that give simulations a chance to reach convergence while limiting run time.
In a broadband calculation, convergence is reached when all electromagnetic energy dispates to zero. Due to numerical noise in the calculation, a nominal amount of electromagnetic energy often remains after convergence is reached. The threshold dictates when the calculation's value is acceptable enough to assume convergence.
In a sinusoid calculation, convergence is reached when near-zone data shows a constant amplitude sine wave, meaning all transient frequencies have subsided and the only remaining variation is sinusoidal.
The Analyze Project Contents setting provides a project-based method for terminating the simulation. When this option is checked, XF calculates the disabled Threshold, Minimum Simulation Time, and Maximum Simulation Time based on the project's contents. These default values are appropriate in most cases, but can be modified using the adjacent drop-down settings.
The Convergence Threshold appears in the additional settings, and is separated into values for Broadband and Sinusoid waveforms. One of these two values is chosen based on the simulation's active waveforms and it appears in the tab's disabled Threshold field. A lower convergence value equates to more timesteps and a longer simulation, but produces more accurate results.
The Minimum Criteria options set the lowest number of timesteps the simulation must complete, regardless of whether or not it has reached the convergence threshold. One of these two values is chosen based on the simulation's active waveforms and it appears in the tab's disabled Minimum Simulation Time field.
The Maximum Criteria options set the number of timesteps the simulation must not exceed, regardless of whether or not it has reached the convergence threshold. One of these two values is chosen based on the simulation's active waveforms and it appears in the tab's disabled Maximum Simulation Time field.
These sections each contain a Grid Diagonals setting and a Sinusoid Periods setting for broadband and sinusoid waveforms, respectively.
These options determine the amount of time a simulation can run:
Grid Diagonals: number of times the signal propagates to the corner located diagonally across the grid. This value uses the extent of the simulation space to define time.
Sinusoid Periods: number of sinusoidal periods. This value uses the period of the waveform to define time.
Unchecking the Analyze Project Contents option enables the tab's other settings. The Detect Convergence setting determines when convergence is reached using a method that is dependent upon the active waveform. Selecting this option enables both the Threshold and Minimum Simulation Time fields.
The editable Threshold field displays the Convergence Threshold for the appropriate waveform and provides additional convergence settings. Flatline Detection stops the calculation if a slow convergence is detected, even when the maximum number of timesteps has not been reached. This option applies when using the Detect Convergence setting with a broadband waveform.
The Spatial Sampling Density drop-down menu allows users to choose the amount of spatial samples used to determine convergence. The sampling density of the Low, Medium, and High settings range from every fourth point in each dimension to every point in each dimension. This option applies to both broadband and sinusoidal excitations.
The Temporal Sampling Interval controls the interval at which convergence is tested during calculations with broadband excitations.
The Sampling Periods setting is used only with a sinusoidal excitation.
The Minimum Simulation Time is the least amount of time a simulation must run before terminating, regardless of whether or not convergence is reached.
The Maximum Simulation Time is the greatest number of timesteps a simulation can run before terminating, regardless of whether or not convergence is reached. This setting is enabled any time the Analyze Project Contents option is deselected.
The Maximum Wall Clock Time is the amount of time elapsed from the start of the simulation to the time it is complete. Once this amount of time has passed, the simulation is terminated. This setting is enabled regardless of the Analyze Project Contents and Detect Convergence selections.
The Notes tab provides space for users to attach memos to the simulation, such as a brief description of its specifications for later reference. When a note was attached to a previous project, the Use Last button is enabled and allows users to apply that same note to the current simulation setup. Once the simulation is created, these optional notes appear in the notes tab of the simulations window, and are editable in that window by right-clicking on the desired simulation and selecting from the menu.
Before finalizing the simulation setup, users can verify the estimated total amount of memory required for the simulation using the Required Memory indicator and its corresponding value on the right side of the window. Mousing over the indicator displays additional information, such as the minimum and maximum usage values based on the current grid settings and requested results.
The Queue drop-down menu allows users to choose where to run the simulation, such as the local machine or a cluster.
Four buttons provide options for completing the simulation setup:
Create & Queue Simulation: writes the input files to disk and queues the simulation to run.
Create Simulation only: writes the input files to disk but does not queue the simulation.
Done: closes the Create FDTD Simulation window and saves the entered specifications, which are visible when the window is re-opened.
Cancel: closes the Create FDTD Simulation window but does not save the entered specifications.
The Create FDTD Simulation window closes once users make the final selection, and created simulations appear in the Simulations window.

Today's guest is Billy Marshall, co-founder and CEO of rPath, a company that's pioneering the virtual appliance approach for application distribution and management. Virtual appliances are a key enabler of cloud computing.
DDJ: Billy, is there anything unique about lifecycle managing when it comes to clouds?
BM: What is unique about lifecycle management for a distributed application in a cloud environment such as Amazon's EC2 or any other hypervisor enabled cloud is the opportunity to streamline the management approach.
The OS shrinks to simply support the application. A reduced footprint means fewer components to manage relative to security and compliance issues. This is an opportunity to lower the burden of lifecycle management.
When the virtual machine (or virtual appliance) is the unit of management (instead of the physical host), deployment and scale-out/up can be accomplished quickly and easily -- on multiple different datacenter clouds. This flexibility for deployment, scale-out, and retirement was unthinkable when each application had to be installed and configured on a general purpose OS running on the physical server systems.
DDJ: Can you tell us about "JeOS" -- "Just enough operating system"?
BM: When a hypervisor cloud is the target for deployment of the application instead of the general-purpose operating system, the role of the OS itself is to "bind" to the application and provide all of the system services required by the application. When you eliminate all of the utilities associated with managing the hardware and include only components required to support the application, the OS shrinks by about 90 percent -- which is great for better security and lower patch management costs. Also, the OS can be tailored to the unique needs of the application without affecting other applications because of the isolation of the virtual machine. Each application gets the "correct" OS instead of a "standard" OS that represents the lowest common denominator for every application.
DDJ: When it comes to tools for managing the lifecycle in clouds, did you have to build new ones from scratch or were you able to adapt existing ones?
BM: Some tools are different, and some remain the same. The best way to describe the change is that the virtual machine is now the unit of management instead of the physical host (the server plus a general-purpose OS).
In this new approach, the virtual machines need to bring with them information and management agents that can communicate to the virtual infrastructure regarding the application requirements. For example, an application server will need to communicate how much hardware resources it needs along with its requirement to allow web server connections and the requirement to send queries and receive responses from a certain database. The virtual infrastructure needs to enable this configuration and communicate certain parameters for setup to the application server virtual machine. This represents a new management capability for configuration. On the other hand, the approach you use for CPU monitoring and alerts can probably remain pretty consistent with the approach you used in the legacy model.
DDJ: Where can readers go to find out more about this?
BM: To learn more, readers can go to www.rpath.com. To create their own application images for free, they can try www.rpath.com/rbuilder/. Finally to create and deploy images to the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), go to www.rpath.com/corp/rpath-supports-amazon.


Der Datenwert "--2" kann einem Attribut des Datentyps Zahl nicht zugeordnet werden sondern bspw. der Datenwert "1".
Domains and metric spaces are two central tools for the study of denotational semantics in computer science, but are otherwise very different in many fundamental aspects. A construction that tries to establish links between both paradigms is the space of formal balls, a continuous poset which can be defined for every metric space and that reflects many of its properties. On the other hand, in order to obtain a broader framework for applications and possible connections to domain theory, generalized ultrametric spaces (gums) have been introduced. In this paper, we employ the space of formal balls as a tool for studying these more general metrics by using concepts and results from domain theory. It turns out that many properties of the metric can be characterized via its formal-ball space. Furthermore, we can state new results on the topology of gums as well as two new fixed point theorems, which may be compared to the Prieß-Crampe and Ribenboim theorem, and the Banach fixed point theorem, respectively. Deeper insights into the nature of formal-ball spaces are gained by applying methods from category theory. Our results suggest that, while being a useful tool for the study of gums, the space of formal balls does not provide the hoped-for general connection to domain theory.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona; Paul G. Rosenblatt, District Judge, Presiding. D.C. No. CV-96-01812-PGE.
Before: Herbert Y. C. Choy, Ferdinand F. Fernandez andSidney R. Thomas, Circuit Judges.
THOMAS, Circuit Judge:
In this appeal, we consider whether the United States Forest Service ("Forest Service") violated the National Forest Management Act ("NFMA" or "the Act"), 16 U.S.C. S 1600, et seq., in preparing a Forest Plan for the Prescott National Forest. We conclude that the Forest Service complied with the Act, and affirm the judgment of the district court.
* The Prescott National Forest ("Forest") is a unit of the National Forest System located in a relatively mountainous area in central Arizona, about 70 air miles north of Phoenix. Following its creation in 1908, the original Forest area was supplemented by additional land over the years, and it now contains approximately 1,227,000 acres. The Forest Service manages the Forest for a variety of uses, including camping, backpacking and horseback riding. It has historically also been used for livestock grazing, managed through the issuance of grazing permits to ranchers on a total of 69 separate grazing allotments.
The NFMA requires the Forest Service to develop and maintain a forest management plan for each unit of the National Forest System. See 16 U.S.C. S 1604 (a). The forest plans must provide for multiple uses of forests, including "coordination of outdoor recreation, range, timber, watershed, wildlife and fish, and wilderness." 16 U.S.C.S 1604(e)(1). All permits and contracts for the use of the forests must be consistent with the forest plans. See 16 U.S.C.S 1604(i).
In November 1985, the Forest Service issued a Proposed National Forest Plan for the Forest in central Arizona, together with a Draft Environmental Impact Statement. After a period of public comment and review, the final Plan and accompanying Environment Impact Statement ("EIS") were issued. The Regional Forester approved the Plan in a Record of Decision ("ROD").
The Plan identified aggregate acreage not "capable" of being used for commercial livestock grazing due to physical constraints such as steepness of slopes and lack of soil. A coalition of environmental groups, including the plaintiffs, administratively appealed the ROD, claiming that the Forest Service was obligated by its own regulations to conduct a separate grazing suitability analysis in order to physically identify land "suitable" for livestock grazing.
The Forest Service affirmed the Regional Forester's decision to adopt the Plan, concluding that it conformed to applicable regulations. Thereafter, the plaintiffs filed suit in district court, alleging that the NFMA requires the Forest Service to determine whether lands deemed "capable" of supporting livestock grazing are also "suitable" for livestock grazing, based on a consideration of the economic and environmental consequences of grazing and the alternative uses foregone. Additionally, plaintiffs alleged that since the adoption of the Plan, the Forest Service has approved numerous site-specific allotment management plans and issued grazing permits without conducting an analysis of "grazing suitability."
The complaint stated four claims for relief: (1) that the Forest Service violated the NFMA by adopting the Plan before conducting a grazing suitability determination; (2) that the Forest Service violated the NFMA by issuing grazing permits for the Crooks Canyon/Maverick grazing allotment without first conducting a grazing suitability determination; (3) that the Forest Service violated the NFMA by issuing grazing permits for the Brady Butte grazing allotment without first conducting a grazing suitability determination; and (4) that the Forest Service violated the Administrative Procedures Act ("APA") by arbitrarily and capriciously permitting grazing in the Prescott National Forest in the absence of a suitability determination.
The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the Forest Service and defendants-intervenors Yavapai Cattle Growers, and this appeal followed.
We address first the question of whether this case is justiciable pursuant to Ohio Forestry Ass'n, Inc. v. Sierra Club, 118 S. Ct. 1665 (1998). Ohio Forestry held that a generic challenge to a forest plan untethered to any specific or concrete harm was not ripe for adjudication, and therefore not justiciable. The Court enumerated three factors in deciding whether the agency decision to adopt the forest plan was ripe for judicial review: "(1) whether delayed review would cause hardship to the plaintiffs; (2) whether judicial intervention would inappropriately interfere with further administrative action; and (3) whether the courts would benefit from further factual development of the issues presented." Id at 1670.
Applying those criteria to a challenge to a forest plan's specification for logging and clear-cutting, the Court noted that the forest plan at issue did not by itself bestow or diminish legal rights because any logging activity requires a sitespecific action preceded by a permitting process. See id. As a consequence, the challenge to the forest plan was not ripe for judicial review. See id. However, the Court further noted that the ripeness doctrine does not always render forest plans immune to challenge because a later challenge to a sitespecific action, brought "when harm is more imminent and more certain[,] . . . might also include a challenge to the lawfulness of the present Plan if . . . the Plan plays a causal role with respect to the . . . then-imminent[ ] harm from logging." Id. The Court indicated that the ripeness doctrine would not bar a challenge to a forest plan if the plaintiff alleged a specific harm that would flow immediately from adoption of the plan. See id. -, 118 S.Ct. at 1672-73.1
Ohio Forestry embraces the eminently sensible proposition that harm is best assessed when it is tangible, rather than theoretical. Thus, for a challenge to a forest plan to be justiciable under the Act, the plaintiffs must allege either (1) imminent concrete injuries that would be caused by the forest plan, such as "allowing motorcycles into a bird-watching area" or "clos[ing] a specific area to off-road vehicles," see 523 U.S. at-, 118 S. Ct. at 1673, or (2) a site-specific injury causally related to an alleged defect in the forest plan. Generic challenges to the sufficiency of forest plans are no longer justiciable, nor are challenges that merely identify affected sites without alleging a harm causally related to the forest plan. See id.; see also ONRC Action v. BLM, 150 F.3d 1132, 1136 (9th Cir. 1998) (acknowledging that Ohio Forestry "calls into doubt a plaintiff's ability to challenge an agency's adoption of a plan without site-specific actions as the focus of the challenge").
Here, plaintiffs' complaint alleges not only that the Forest Service violated the NFMA by failing to conduct a forestwide grazing suitability study, but also that the Forest Service violated the NFMA at a site-specific level by approving allotment management plans for the Crooks Canyon/Maverick and the Brady Butte allotments without identifying the lands suitable for grazing on those allotments. In short, the plaintiffs allege that the Forest Service's general methodology in determining grazing suitability in the Forest Plan was flawed, causing site-specific harm by allowing grazing in an area unsuitable for it. Thus, the claims alleged in count one (a general challenge to the Forest Plan) are not justiciable; however, the claims alleged in counts two and three (site specific injury relating to Crooks Canyon/Maverick and the Brady Butte allotments) are ripe for review. Because the site-specific injury to the two allotments is alleged to have been caused by a defect in the Forest Plan, we may consider whether the Forest Service complied with the Act in making its general grazing suitability determinations in the Forest Plan.
In sum, the Ohio Forestry ripeness factors do not weigh against judicial review of counts two and three at this juncture. An actual, site-specific injury causally related to a plan defect has been alleged. The question presented by the plaintiffs — whether the Forest Service is obliged under the NFMA to conduct a distinct grazing suitability analysis — is essentially a question of law. Therefore, the court would not benefit from further factual development of the issue presented. Because the action seeks to compel the agency to comply with an alleged NFMA requirement, judicial intervention would not interfere inappropriately with further administrative action. Finally, our review does invoke "the kind of `abstract disagreements over administrative policies' that the ripeness doctrine seeks to avoid." Ohio Forestry, 118 S. Ct. at 1672 (quoting Abbott Labs. v. Gardner 387 U.S. 136, 148 (1967)). However, count one of plaintiffs' complaint presents a generic challenge which Ohio Forestry cautions against adjudicating. Thus, counts two and three of plaintiffs' complaint are ripe for adjudication; count one is not.
The Plan EIS stated that 273,000 acres of the Forest were not suitable for livestock grazing because of steep slopes, unstable soils, rock outcrops, and dense timber. The Plan designates the remaining 977,834 acres of the forest as suitable for livestock grazing. Plaintiffs argue that the Plan shows an identity of acreage between land designated as "capable" and land designated as "suitable" as a result of a blanket decision to designate as suitable all lands capable of grazing, without taking into account the economic or environmental consequences of livestock grazing or its effects on alternative uses of those lands as required by Forest Service regulations.2
The applicable regulations mandate that the "suitability and potential capability of National Forest System lands for producing forage for grazing animals and for providing habitat for management indicator species shall be determined" in the forest planning process. 36 C.F.R. S 219.20. To this end, the Forest Service must identify lands suitable for grazing and browsing, id., where suitability is "[t]he appropriateness of applying certain resource management practices to a particu- lar area of land, as determined by an analysis of the economic and environmental consequences and the alternative uses foregone," id. S 219.3.
* The Forest Service analyzed economic and environmental consequences, and considered alternative uses foregone, associated with different grazing suitability levels at the EIS stage of the forest planning process. The EIS examined seven Plan alternatives, each with different management goals and directives with respect to soil and water, recreation, wildlife and fish, range, and timber and fuelwood. Given this, the Forest Service asserts that the grazing suitability determination was conducted within a planning process that focused not on one resource at a time but, instead, upon alternatives within which different resources and management practices were proposed.
After reviewing the record, we conclude that through its analysis of the alternatives considered in the EIS, the Forest Service adequately considered both economic and environmental consequences, as well as opportunities foregone, for the preferred Plan. Where review involves the interpretation of an agency regulation, we defer "to the agency's interpretation unless it is plainly erroneous or inconsistent with the regulation." Salmon River Concerned Citizens v. Robertson, 32 F.3d 1346, 1356 (9th Cir. 1994) (citing Marathon Oil v. United States, 807 F.2d 759, 765 (9th Cir. 1986)). Here, it cannot be said that the agency's approach to determining grazing suitability within the consideration of alternatives in the EIS is plainly inconsistent with or contrary to the dictates of the regulation. Although the Forest Service unnecessarily complicated the analysis by occasionally interchanging the terms "suitability" and "capability," it did not violate the Act or its implementing regulations.
Plaintiffs also contend that the Forest Service's consideration of alternatives does not satisfy NFMA's requirement for a determination of grazing suitability because the grazing outcomes were predetermined by the Forest Service's FORPLAN computer program. This argument misapprehends the program. At least at this stage of its development, FORPLAN is not an artificial life form. It is, purely and simply, an analytic modeling tool. It provides, among other things, an analysis of the economic consequences of various planning assumptions. Plaintiffs complain that some of these assumptions included grazing. However, examination of alternatives is precisely what is required of the Forest Service. To be sure, the FORPLAN analysis of the EIS preferred alternative did include a grazing assumption. However, other examined options did not. One alternative contained no grazing restraints while the other alternatives constrained grazing to a floor ranging from 86 to 177.5 animal unit months.
The very object of the analytic exercise is to examine the effects of alternatives; the Forest Service did not err by including grazing among them. Indeed, the Forest Service is plainly entitled to identify "parameters and criteria[ ] related to Plan standards" in generating alternatives for final consideration in the EIS. Idaho Conservation League v. Mumma, 956 F.2d 1508, 1522 (9th Cir. 1992) (accepting, for purposes of a challenge to a forest plan under the National Environmental Policy Act, that the Forest Service had properly eliminated an alternative containing more wilderness area because FORPLAN had been programmed only to generate alternatives which satisfied a given timber yield in the first decade of the plan). The Forest Service does not violate the Act by employing FORPLAN to assist in the analysis. See Nevada Land Action Ass'n v. US Forest Service, 8 F.3d 713, 717 (9th Cir. 1993).
Last, we consider plaintiffs' claim under the Administrative Procedures Act ("APA"). Under the APA, an agency decision may be set aside only if it is "arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law." 5 U.S.C. S 706(2)(A); Anaheim Mem'l Hosp. v. Shalala, 130 F.3d 845, 849 (9th Cir. 1997). Here, plaintiffs argue that the record contains no rational basis or explanation for the Forest Service's grazing suitability determination.
Although plaintiffs identify this as a separate claim, it is subsumed into our resolution of the NFMA claim. Having determined that the Forest Service complied with the NFMA in adopting the Plan, including the grazing suitability determination therein, plaintiffs' APA claim fails.
The Forest Service is charged with managing the National Forest System for multiple uses, including livestock grazing. The preferred Plan reflects a balancing of those interests. Reasonable minds may differ in selecting the best alternative. However, the agency's assessment is not one we will judicially disturb, absent a violation of statute or regulation. In this case, the Forest Service complied with the NFMA in adopting the Plan, including the Plan's allocation of acreage suitable for grazing.
We dismiss the appeal as to count one of plaintiffs' complaint as non-justiciable. We affirm in all other respects the judgment of the district court.
DISMISSED IN PART; AFFIRMED IN PART.
The Ohio Forestry court also acknowledged that a forest plan could always be challenged under the National Environmental Protection Act ("NEPA") because "NEPA, unlike the NFMA, simply guarantees a particular procedure, not a particular result." 118 S. Ct. at 1672. Thus, "a person with standing who is injured by a failure to comply with the NEPA procedure may complain of that failure at the time the failure takes place, for the claim can never get riper." Id. There is no NEPA claim in this case.
The applicable regulation governing livestock grazing provides that:
In forest planning, the suitability and potential capability of National Forest System lands for producing forage for grazing animals and for providing habitat for management indicator spe cies shall be determined as provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section. Lands so identified shall be managed in accordance with direction established in forest plans.
(a) Lands suitable for grazing and browsing shall be identified and their condition and trend shall be determined. The present and potential supply of forage for livestock, wild and free roaming horses and burros, and the capability of these lands to produce suitable food and cover for selected wildlife species shall be estimated. The use of forage by grazing and browsing animals will be estimated. Lands in less than satisfactory condition shall be identified and appropriate action planned for their restoration.
36 C.F.R. S 219.20.
The regulations define "capability" as:
The potential of an area of land to produce resources, supply goods and services, and allow resource uses under an assumed set of management practices and at a given level of management intensity. Capability depends upon current conditions and site conditions such as climate, slope, landform, soils, and geology, as well as the application of management practices, such as silvi culture or protection from fire, insects, and disease.
36 C.F.R. S 219.3
"Suitability" is defined as:
The appropriateness of applying certain resource management practices to a particular area of land, as determined by an analysis of the economic and environmental consequences and the alterna tive uses foregone. A unit of land may be suitable for a variety of individual or combined management practices.

America's Cities Are Being Turned Into Crime-Ridden War Zones, And Murder Rates Are Way Up Again In 2021
March 30, 2021 March 30, 2021 by Michael Snyder
The wealthy are reveling in their giant mountains of money, but meanwhile our society is literally coming apart at the seams all around us. The stock market has been hovering near all-time record highs, and for those at the very top of the economic pyramid these may seem like the best of times. But for most Americans, the "good old days" are a long distant memory. More than 70 million new claims for unemployment benefits have been filed over the past year, poverty is absolutely exploding all around us, and crime rates are shooting higher at an unprecedented rate. In fact, one study of 34 big U.S. cities found that their murder rates rose by an average of 30 percent in 2020…
A study by the National Commission on Covid-19 and Criminal Justice found that murders increased by 30% across 34 large U.S. cities.
In some areas, carjackings, robberies, shootings, sexual assaults and violence have become so common that it seems like the crime literally never stops.
Unless you have a death wish, there are certain parts of Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Chicago, Philadelphia and Baltimore that you should never enter night or day. If you doubt me, just go wander the streets of the worst neighborhoods of those cities and see what happens to you.
This was supposed to be a year when crime rates began to return to normal, but instead they are on the rise again. One study that looked at 37 large U.S. cities found that murder rates are up by an average of 18 percent so far in 2021…
The big increase in the murder rate in the United States in 2020 has carried over to 2021.
A sample of 37 cities with data available for the first three months of this year shows murder up 18 percent relative to the same period last year.
What is truly frightening is that this is about as good as things are going to get in America from here on out.
So if murder rates are spiking this much under relatively good conditions, what will our cities look like when things get really crazy?
Some of the crimes that we are witnessing are almost too horrible for words. For example, just consider what just happened to a 12-year-old boy in Miami…
A suspect in a black car kidnapped the boy at about 2 a.m. early Saturday morning from a Miami street, according to the Miami-Dade Police Department.
He drove a few blocks, raped the boy, and then shoved him out of the car and drove off, police said.
A good Samaritan on a bike near the scene of the crime came to the boy's rescue. He was bleeding from the head and said he had been shot.
How sick do you have to be in order to do something like that?
Sadly, I could write about nightmarish crimes such as this every single day of the week if I wanted to, because they happen constantly.
Much of the crime boom is being fueled by gangs. There are more than 100,000 gang members living in the city of Chicago alone, and a steady stream of illegal immigrants ensures that the gangs will always have an influx of new recruits.
Securing our borders would go a long way toward solving this problem, but we refuse to do that.
Just recently, a sheriff in Texas took a reporter from the Daily Mail down to "the easiest illegal border crossing along the Rio Grande"…
The crossing point is on private property where an abandoned house sits on a quiet rural street that runs parallel to the Rio Grande, about 5 miles out of town from Del Rio, Texas, 150 miles southwest of San Antonio.
Law enforcement has nicknamed it 'Border Lawn.'
'It's the easiest illegal border crossing along the Rio Grande,' Val Verde County Sheriff Joe Frank Martinez told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.
When the river is low, immigrants can wade across the Rio Grande in about five minutes.
Authorities know that hordes of people come across the border at this spot each week, but they won't stop it.
Of course any immigrants that are detained need to be held somewhere, and facilities at the border are already packed beyond overflowing. In particular, the infamous facility in Donna, Texas is already holding more than 10 times more migrants than it was designed to hold…
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) holding facility in Donna, Texas, is supposed to house no more than 250 migrants during the coronavirus pandemic.
On Tuesday, the tent complex was holding more than 4,100 migrants, including 3,200 unaccompanied children, according to Oscar Escamilla, a Border Patrol official in the Rio Grande Valley who briefed reporters during the first press tour of a CBP facility under President Biden.
So much of the immigration debate is focused on the unfortunate children that are being held in places such as this, but that is just a drop in the bucket.
Each week, thousands of grown men illegally cross the border without being detained at all. Many of those grown men end up in our core urban areas, and with few legitimate employment prospects available many of them turn to crime.
In an article that I published yesterday entitled "We Have Never Seen A Home Buying Frenzy Quite Like This", I discussed the fact that we have seen a mass exodus from our core urban areas over the past year. Millions of Americans have been looking to buy homes in desirable rural and suburban locations, and this has pushed housing prices into the stratosphere.
Today, I came across another example of this phenomenon. 122 offers were made on a 1,400 square foot home that was listed for sale in Citrus Heights, California in just one weekend…
A Citrus Heights home in a quiet cul-de-sac received 122 offers in one weekend on the market.
The 1,400 square feet home has three bedrooms, two baths and a spacious backyard with a swimming pool and an asking price of $399,900.00.
Could you imagine paying $400,000 for a house that is just 1,400 square feet in size?
The real estate agent that listed this property was astounded to receive so many offers, because it wasn't underpriced at all…
"People would think that it was underpriced. It was not underpriced. It was straight on with the comps," said Deb Brittan, the listing agent for the property. "I had hoped, I thought, maybe if we get 20 offers that would be amazing."
As for the couple that sold the house, they don't need it anymore because they are moving to Idaho.
As conditions in the United States continue to deteriorate, we will continue to see people flock to rural and suburban communities at an unprecedented rate.
So if you are planning to move, I would not wait.
Millions of Americans have already been priced out of the market, and the feeding frenzy is not going to subside any time soon.

We Have Never Seen A Home Buying Frenzy Quite Like This
Could you imagine listing your home for sale and having nearly 100 offers in just three days? This sort of thing is actually happening in hot real estate markets all over America right now. Even though we are in the midst of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s, we are witnessing a frenzy of home buying that is unlike anything that we have ever seen before. Of course one of the biggest reasons why this is happening is because of the utterly insane economic policies of our leaders. They have been creating, borrowing and spending money like there is no tomorrow, and that pushed M1 from 4 trillion dollars to 18 trillion dollars in just 12 months. All of that money had to go somewhere, and one place where it is showing up is in home prices in desirable rural and suburban locations around the country.
For example, a "fixer-upper" in a desirable suburban community outside of Washington D.C. was listed for sale on a recent Thursday for $275,000. On Sunday evening, 88 different offers had already been made on that property…
Ellen Coleman had never received so many offers on a house in her 15 years of selling real estate.
She listed a fixer-upper in suburban Washington, DC for $275,000 on a Thursday. By Sunday evening, she had 88 offers.
It eventually sold for $460,000, which was $185,000 above the listing price.
Isn't that nuts?
The same thing is happening in lots of other parts of the nation too.
Down in the Austin, Texas area, one real estate agent says that "most homes are going for more than 20% over asking price"…
"Nearly every offer my clients make faces competition, and most homes are going for more than 20% over asking price," said Austin-area Redfin agent April Miller.
She said she recently helped a client with an offer for a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home listed at $515,000 and pulled out all the stops. The offer was for $100,000 over the asking price, and they waived appraisal and financing contingencies, yet still came in third out of 38 offers.
In my entire lifetime, I have never seen anything like this.
Overall, the median price of a home in the United States is up a whopping 16 percent compared to this time last year…
The median price of a home has risen 16% from last year, according to the National Association of Realtors, and they have increased even more in some regions of the country like the Northeast and West, which are both up 21% from last year.
Meanwhile, inventory has continued to linger at record lows. In February, the number of available homes for sale was down nearly 30% from a year ago.
Of course prices are not going up everywhere.
In fact, home prices are actually going down in certain core urban communities.
It isn't just that people are looking to buy homes right now. Rather, millions of Americans have been choosing to relocate due to fear of the things that have been happening in our world.
For example, the COVID pandemic has been one of the biggest reasons for the mass exodus that we have been witnessing, and our public officials continue to drum up more fear on a daily basis. On Monday, the head of the CDC actually used the term "impending doom" to describe what she believes is ahead…
The U.S. is facing "impending doom" as daily Covid-19 cases begin to rebound once again, threatening to send more people to the hospital even as vaccinations accelerate nationwide, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday.
"When I first started at CDC about two months ago I made a promise to you: I would tell you the truth even if it was not the news we wanted to hear. Now is one of those times when I have to share the truth, and I have to hope and trust you will listen," CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said during a press briefing.
And Joe Biden is begging for mask mandates to be reinstated all over the nation…
Joe Biden pleaded on Monday with Republican governors who ended mask mandates to reinstate the requirements in their states and pause reopenings as the administration goes ahead with expanding vaccine eligibility and inoculation sites.
'I'm reiterating my call for every governor, mayor and local leader to reinstate the mask mandate,' Biden said during remarks on the White House coronavirus response Monday afternoon. 'Please, this is not politics.'
As long as Americans are afraid of the COVID pandemic, we will continue to see people relocate from urban areas with a high population density to rural and suburban areas that are more spread out.
At the same time, multitudes of Americans are also relocating from core urban areas due to all of the civil unrest that we have witnessed over the past year.
Many believed that the civil unrest would end once Joe Biden entered the White House, but that has not happened.
Instead, we continue to see violence on an almost daily basis. Here is just one recent example…
Footage captured the demonstrators spraying paint across the windshield of the man's truck and smashing the tail lights in Salem on Sunday.
The driver, who was wearing an American flag sweatshirt, stepped out of his vehicle as he engaged with the protesters, who then appeared to mace him.
The video then shows him pulling out his gun and pointing it at the anti-fascist protesters.
He could be heard shouting: 'Get away from me'.
Sadly, the civil unrest in our land is only going to get worse.
So that means that even more people will be fleeing our core urban areas in search of greener pastures.
But now that hyperinflation is hitting housing prices, a lot of middle class and poor people will be priced out of the market.
The wealthy and the ultra-wealthy will have no problem making offers on homes that are way over market price because they have lots of money.
But the vast majority of Americans that are living paycheck to paycheck will find that their options are now greatly limited.
This is why I have always encouraged my readers to do long-term planning well in advance. When I was growing up, I often heard the phrase "you snooze, you lose", and today that is more true than ever.

In an attempt to use up th veggies in the fridge, I whipped up this soup. This is truly a post just to display how easy it is to up your veggie intake, use your resources, and get creative! I hope you use this recipe as a framework to make soup with whatever veggies you have laying around. However you are more than welcome to make this recipe as is, too!
It is kind of a comfort food fit for winter, but I still enjoy it on cooler rainy nights we've had...especially with a vegan grilled cheese!
The soup is also a good source of protein thanks to the addition of beans, which add a nice creaminess to the soup as well.

[ARCHIVED] MFRD's First Female Firefighter Retires after 32 Years of Service
Murfreesboro Fire & Rescue Department's first female Firefighter is retiring after 32 years of service. Mary Madding began her career with MFRD in July 1982.
Her retirement will be effective July 20.
Madding recalls how it felt to be the only female Firefighter at MFRD. "It was tough being the only female in a traditionally all-male career," she said. "I found it hard to fit in and always felt like I had to work harder to prove myself."
She says her worst day at the fire department was her first day. "I remember I got sent to the engine and told to pick off tools. They said not to come back until I got them. I went to the engine and I didn't know one tool from the other. I never felt so overwhelmed."
When asked how she overcame that feeling, she credits retired Captain Ronald Jones. "He was so good to me. He told me, 'Don't worry, you'll get it. We'll work on it together and you will learn it.'"
Her best day at the fire department was in August 2011 when Kaye Jernigan was promoted to Assistant Chief. "Maybe, I should say it was my proudest day," said Madding. "It was awesome to see a fellow female rise through the ranks in the department."
Madding, who remembers when engine companies were only allowed to leave the station to respond to a fire, says it is much different now. "We are out in our territories a lot now, with more visibility in the community. I think this is one of the most positive changes I've seen since I've been at the department." Madding said she has always loved participating in community and public relations events, meeting the citizens she serves.
"Working for MFRD, I've had the opportunity to meet a lot of people, create many relationships, and watch a lot of kids grow up," she commented. "Serving my community has allowed me to become a better person, a more humble person, and I am eternally grateful for that."
Madding plans to spend her retirement getting much deserved rest and with her grandkids.
"We are very appreciative of the hard work and dedication Madding has provided the department over the years. The foundation she laid for female firefighters in this community is solid and she will be missed," said Chief Cumbey Gaines.
