Far, far away in the beautiful country of New Zealand lives an English family that were granted permission to live forever in the kingdom of kiwis.
The family loved their new land so much that they acquired a bus in which they could travel to see the many delights that Aotearoa, the land of the long white cloud, has to offer.
Enclosed within these pages are tales of the Kiwi Blog Bus and the family's voyages and adventures.

Fastest possible refund
There's no faster way to do your taxes, or get your refund.
Most customers using ezTaxReturn can prepare and e-file a federal and state tax return in 30 minutes or less. That's fast! What's more, it's (almost) fun.
IRS says e-file is the fastest way to get your refund.
According to IRS, you get the fastest possible refund when you use e-file to submit your return and choose direct deposit to receive your refund. And it's a fact that you get your refund weeks earlier when you e-file than when you file on paper.
What customers say about ezTaxReturn...
I just completed your federal and NC state returns online. Thank you for an easy to use product. I used TaxACT for previous 2 years and TurboTax before that. This was much easier.

Thanks to All of You Who Made it Happen!

The final resolution of the Federal budget for 2011, passed by the House and Senate in mid-April, included good news for public broadcasting. One program that funds station equipment needs was eliminated. However, the dollars appropriated for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to fund current operations were subject to the same modest reduction of less than 1% applied to all nonmilitary discretionary expenditures. The budget agreement assures WDSE•WRPT Federal funding support through September, the end of the Federal government's fiscal year.
We want to thank each of our members who took time over the last several months to engage their elected representatives through emails, letters and phone calls by sharing their thoughts on public funding for public television. You, and the two-thirds of American voters who oppose eliminating funding for public broadcasting, played an important role in forging this result. The debate on funding public broadcasting will certainly continue as a part of the broader discussion of budget priorities; your continued participation will be just as important in the days ahead.
You may have heard us say that member support makes your public television station possible so many times that the message has become trite. The reality was brought home this month, however, with news that WMFE, the PBS station serving Orlando, Florida, had been sold and will be leaving the PBS system. Insufficient support from the community - a market with eight times the number of households served by WDSE•WRPT - meant the station was no longer financially viable.
Whether demonstrated through a contribution or message to Congress, your support means this public television station remains strong and able to continue providing the programs you expect and enjoy. Thank you!

There's a battle being waged in John Frusciante's mind. In his musical world of juxtapositions and genre marriages, the traditional spars with the far-out, and mathematical equations somehow compute into expressions of feeling. The guitar will always be a bedrock instrument for the former Red Hot Chili Pepper, but his new weapons of choice are machines. "The Roland MC-202 [an early-'80s synthesizer/sequencer] is one of my favorite instruments," he says. "The same goes for drum machines, samplers, the computer, and other synthesizers."
For Frusciante, the main appeal of these instruments is that once you learn to manipulate them, you can produce all types of instrumental sounds instantly. Frusciante actually has six MC-202s, which he uses in various combinations to translate guitar parts into synthesized parts. With multiple machines, he can manipulate a single guitar string per machine, and then endlessly refine each string's sound.
"At this point I'm as fluent in programming as I am on guitar," he says. "Since I've learned the language and integrated it with my natural tendencies as a musician, it sometimes feels like I'm a commander in a war. Like there's fu**ed-up shit going on, and I have to fix it. Like there are two sides arguing, and one side has to win and one side has to lose. One side has to be captured and enslaved to the other side. In some ways it's probably not that different from playing a war video game. I read books about subjects like war because they remind me of how I think when I make music."
Frusciante emphasizes the fact that programmed instruments are "obedient to the mind"— a composer's most important instrument. He now feels there are no physical obstacles between the music in his imagination and the sounds he creates. He says he's equally inspired by 20th-century classical composers such as Igor Stravinsky and Iannis Xenakis, and more recent electronic experimentalists like Tom "Squarepusher" Jenkinson, who is both a classical bass virtuoso and a master programmer.
about music in intellectual terms."
Frusciante says he was introduced to electronic music when he formed Speed Dealer Moms, an "experimental acid house" group, with friends Aaron Funk and Chris McDonald. Six years later, Frusciante has released Enclosure, his 11th solo album, which relies heavily on programming. He views it as a personal musical breakthrough, a marriage of intricate guitar compositions and the electronica knowledge he acquired while creating prior albums like The Empyrean and PBX Funicular Intaglio Zone.
"It's a great time to be a musician," says the prolific Frusciante. He tells Premier Guitar why he feels so strongly about that while candidly describing his recent music-making process.
Can you tell us how you fell in love with guitar and why you wanted to play?
When I was a little kid, it seemed clear that if I learned how to play an instrument, I'd be able to play the music I heard in my head, music I'd never heard in the real world. My parents wouldn't get me an electric guitar, though. I tried to start playing when I was 7, but I thought acoustic was boring—it wasn't the sound that I wanted to hear. I managed to get an electric guitar when I was 12. As a little kid in Santa Monica, Led Zeppelin and Kiss were the big things. I would hear Jimmy Page and wonder how a person's hands could get those sounds. Guitar for me has always been about the sound of the instrument, not the physicality. Physicality is just this thing between your imagination and the sound that comes out.
Is expression the same for you on all instruments? Or is guitar a special tool?
The guitar is the best way for me to study other people's music. Since I started playing, I've probably spent more time learning off records than doing any other activity in life. Doing that has so many values, among them the ability to think about music in intellectual terms. Not just hearing what you like and enjoy, but analyzing it and getting inside the heads of the people who played or wrote it. I like learning all the parts of a piece of music so I really know why I feel what I feel in the best terms that my mind is capable of understanding. I like to play one of the parts, but be able to visualize the rest of the parts and think about their relationship to each other in terms of intervals and rhythmic spaces.

In a statement attached to your Outsides EP, you said, "Rock music is electronic music." What do you mean?
Traditional musicians have this prejudice that if someone's not physically doing something you can see, then they aren't a legitimate musician. That's just ignorance. In the years 1500, 1600, 1700, or 1800, those at the top of the musical hierarchy were composers. And composers weren't doing anything that people would gawk at—they thought of music in their minds and had tools at their disposal to create it, the most powerful tool being music notation. Instrumentalists served at the pleasure of the composer. They were not like lead guitarists today. A great violinist was somebody who performed the music of great composers, and if they stood out for having particularly expressive technique, they might be featured in a concerto or something. Traditional musicians get lost in thinking that the physicality of an instrument has some inherent value unto itself.
You're a technically gifted guitarist—but would you say you're more of a "gut" player?
When I was growing up I had a guitar teacher who told me that because I couldn't play scales picking every note fast, I wasn't a good guitarist. I think that attitude is wrong. For one thing, I don't think picking every note sounds very good. I know from chopping up samples that the beginning of a guitar note is the sound of the pick, and it lasts a pretty long time. If you pick every note and play very fast, you hear what people like Yngwie sound like. I love Yngwie's playing, but it's not the greatest sound to be picking every note, because you hear more of the pick attack than the sound of the note. Allan Holdsworth doesn't pick every note, and I consider it a more expressive way to play fast. There's more tonal variety. There's more room for expression. In the '80s, guitarists thought that because somebody played cleanly, or could pick every note fast, or do a lot of fancy tricks, that made them a good guitar player. Guitar playing got lost on that road to a certain degree. It's not as if being studious and practicing are not advantageous for a guitar player—they are! But the goals are to see the instrument clearly in your mind, produce beautiful music, and express something.

First of all, thanks for this great product. I'm only using it for one day now, but I'm getting the hang of it already. It's all very straightforward and intuitive.
About my feature request: Akin to graphic/dtp programs, I'm missing snap rules. I find myself drawing very long lines which serve as snap guides for the entire drawing. I have the snap rules in a separate layer for organization (they are not part of the drawing). It would be neat if QCad could give me a snap rule. Makes it much more convenient to line up objects while drawing.
Feature request: snap rules/guides
Please use this forum to post feedback and suggestions related to QCAD Professional.

Judge orders Elmwood Place speed cameras confiscated
Village, camera maker found in contempt
Drivers in Elmwood Place can say goodbye to the speed cameras.
Not only have they been shut down for good by Judge Robert Ruehlman, but he's ordered them to be hauled off the street and impounded.
Both sides in the contentious legal battle over the speed cameras were back before Ruehlman for a contempt hearing Thursday, where the judge ruled that Elmwood Place and the speed camera contractor Optotraffic were in contempt of court.
Back in March, Ruehlman found the speed cameras unconstitutional. He essentially ordered the cameras shut down, the speed camera ticketing program shut down, and ordered that the outstanding tickets did not have to be paid.
On Thursday, Ruehlman found that his order was violated in several ways. First, the cameras were turned back on, although Elmwood Place Police Chief Bill Peskin testified that they were only used to collect speed and traffic data -- not to collect license plate information or issue new tickets.
Peskin also testified that he told people that they did not have to pay their tickets when they came to the police station.
"Many people did show up, trying to pay their citation to us," Peskin said, "and we told them that the program was to be suspended and they didn't have to pay the citation."
But tickets were never meant to be paid to the village. The traffic camera company collected the citations, and apparently continued to collect money sent in after the judge's March order.
There was testimony in court that some $48,000 was collected, with a percentage of that money passed on to the village per the speed camera contract. Optotraffic did not have a representative in court Thursday.
Attorney Mike Allen, who is part of the team fighting the speed cameras, called the cameras a "money grab."
"This offends me as a citizen, it offends me as a lawyer, it offends me on behalf of my clients," said Allen.
To make sure his order was not violated further, Ruehlman ordered the Hamilton County Sheriff to seize the traffic cameras and all equipment that is part of the program and store it at the village's expense. The equipment will be released when the $48,000 in improperly collected ticket money is returned.
Another victory in court for the lawyers fighting the cameras came when the topic moved to a class action lawsuit. The judge allowed the lawyers to move forward with a class action suit that Mike Allen says would involve anyone who was given a ticket by the speed cameras back to the first day of operations in Elmwood Place.
"We're going to do everything in our power to get some money back in those people's pockets because it's just not right," Allen said.
The class action suit could take quite a bit of time to move through the courts. Hearings were scheduled out several months from now during today's hearing.
But with the Ohio House approving a ban on speed cameras earlier this week, Allen says, "I think the days of speed cameras in the village of Elmwood and in the state of Ohio are numbered."

About the Series 'Memories of Lost Time'
A series of meticulously staged images inspired by the romantic notions of childhood memories and the almost dreamlike nature they possess, these images take you on an enthralling photographic expedition. The stories are based on seven individuals' childhood memories and recollections. The images are dramatic, romantic and surreal – illustrating a very dream-like and imaginative interpretation of these distant memories, a very blurred line between fact and fiction, which is perhaps how the memory works. They are not only a reflection of what was, but also of what could have been. The series has been published widely including features in Vogue Italia (print & online) and it has been exhibited at the Corso Como Gallery (Milan) as part of the "Best of Photo Vogue" exhibition.

For a complete list of all installed modules, see ModuleList
A toolchain is a set of compilers, libraries and applications that are needed to build software. Some software functions better when using specific toolchains.
We provide a good number of toolchains and versions of toolchains make sure your applications will compile and/or run correctly.
These toolchains include (you can run 'module keyword keychain compiler'):
- The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada, as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++, libgcj,...).
- GCCcore
- The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada, as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++, libgcj,...).
- foss
- GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) based compiler toolchain, including OpenMPI for MPI support, OpenBLAS (BLAS and LAPACK support), FFTW and ScaLAPACK.
- gcccuda
- GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) based compiler toolchain, along with CUDA toolkit.
- gmvapich2
- GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) based compiler toolchain, including MVAPICH2 for MPI support.
- gompi
- GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) based compiler toolchain, including OpenMPI for MPI support.
- gompic
- GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) based compiler toolchain along with CUDA toolkit, including OpenMPI for MPI support with CUDA features enabled.
- goolfc
- GCC based compiler toolchain __with CUDA support__, and including OpenMPI for MPI support, OpenBLAS (BLAS and LAPACK support), FFTW and ScaLAPACK.
- icc
- C and C++ compiler from Intel
- iccifort
- Intel Cluster Toolkit Compiler Edition provides Intel C,C++ and fortran compilers, Intel MPI and Intel MKL
- ifort
- Fortran compiler from Intel
- iomkl
- Intel Cluster Toolchain Compiler Edition provides Intel C/C++ and Fortran compilers, Intel MKL & OpenMPI.
- iompi
- Intel C/C++ and Fortran compilers, alongside Open MPI.
You can run 'module spider $toolchain' to see the versions we have:
$ module spider iomkl
- iomkl/2017a
- iomkl/2017b
- iomkl/2017beocatb
If you load one of those (module load iomkl/2017b), you can see the other modules and versions of software that it loaded with the 'module list':
$ module list Currently Loaded Modules: 1) icc/2017.4.196-GCC-6.4.0-2.28 2) binutils/2.28-GCCcore-6.4.0 3) ifort/2017.4.196-GCC-6.4.0-2.28 4) iccifort/2017.4.196-GCC-6.4.0-2.28 5) GCCcore/6.4.0 6) numactl/2.0.11-GCCcore-6.4.0 7) hwloc/1.11.7-GCCcore-6.4.0 8) OpenMPI/2.1.1-iccifort-2017.4.196-GCC-6.4.0-2.28 9) iompi/2017b 10) imkl/2017.3.196-iompi-2017b 11) iomkl/2017b
As you can see, toolchains can depend on each other. For instance, the iomkl toolchain, depends on iompi, which depends on iccifort, which depend on icc and ifort, which depend on GCCcore which depend on GCC. Hence it is very important that the correct versions of all related software are loaded.
With software we provide, the toolchain used to compile is always specified in the "version" of the software that you want to load.
Most Commonly Used Software
We provide lots of versions, you are most likely better off directly loading a toolchain or application to make sure you get the right version, but you can see the versions we have with 'module spider OpenMPI':
- OpenMPI/2.0.2-GCC-6.3.0-2.27
- OpenMPI/2.0.2-iccifort-2017.1.132-GCC-6.3.0-2.27
- OpenMPI/2.1.1-GCC-6.4.0-2.28
- OpenMPI/2.1.1-GCC-7.2.0-2.29
- OpenMPI/2.1.1-gcccuda-2017b
- OpenMPI/2.1.1-iccifort-2017.4.196-GCC-6.4.0-2.28
- OpenMPI/2.1.1-iccifort-2018.0.128-GCC-7.2.0-2.29
We currently provide (module -r spider '^R$'):
- R/3.4.0-foss-2017beocatb-X11-20170314
We provide a small number of R modules installed by default, these are generally modules that are needed by more than one person.
Installing your own R Packages
To install your own module, login to Beocat and start R interactively
module load R
Then install the package using
Follow the prompts. Note that there is a CRAN mirror at KU - it will be listed as "USA (KS)".
After installing you can test before leaving interactive mode by issuing the command
Running R Jobs
You cannot submit an R script directly. 'sbatch myscript.R' will result in an error. Instead, you need to make a bash script that will call R appropriately. Here is a minimal example. We'll save this as submit-R.sbatch
#SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=1G
# Now we tell qsub how long we expect our work to take: 15 minutes (D-H:MM:SS)
#SBATCH --time=0-0:15:00
# Now lets do some actual work. This starts R and loads the file myscript.R
module load R
R --no-save -q < myscript.R
Now, to submit your R job, you would type
sbatch submit-R.sbatch
We currently provide (module spider Java):
- Java/1.8.0_131
- Java/1.8.0_144
We currently provide (module spider Python)
- Python/2.7.13-foss-2017beocatb
- Python/2.7.13-GCCcore-7.2.0-bare
- Python/2.7.13-iomkl-2017a
- Python/2.7.13-iomkl-2017beocatb
- Python/3.6.3-foss-2017b
- Python/3.6.3-foss-2017beocatb
- Python/3.6.3-iomkl-2017beocatb
If you need modules that we do not have installed, you should use virtualenv to setup a virtual python environment in your home directory. This will let you install python modules as you please.
Setting up your virtual environment
# Load Python
module load Python/3.6.3-iomkl-2017beocatb
(After running this command Python is loaded. After you logoff and then logon again Python will not be loaded so you must rerun this command every time you logon.)
- Create a location for your virtual environments (optional, but helps keep things organized)
mkdir ~/virtualenvs
cd ~/virtualenvs
- Create a virtual environment. Here I will create a default virtual environment called 'test'. Note that
virtualenv --helphas many more useful options.
virtualenv test
- Lets look at our virtual environments
% ls ~/virtualenvs test
- Activate one of these
%source ~/virtualenvs/test/bin/activate
(After running this command your virtual environment is activated. After you logoff and then logon again your virtual environment will not be loaded so you must rerun this command every time you logon.)
- You can now install the python modules you want. This can be done using pip.
pip install numpy biopython
Using your virtual environment within a job
Here is a simple job script using the virtual environment testp2
module load Python/3.6.3-iomkl-2017beocatb
source ~/virtualenvs/test/bin/activate
python ~/path/to/your/python/script.py
The system-wide version of perl is tracking the stable releases of perl. Unfortunately there are some features that we do not include in the system distribution of perl, namely threads.
If you need a newer version (or threads), just load one we provide in our modules (module spider Perl):
- Perl/5.26.0-foss-2017beocatb
- Perl/5.26.0-iompi-2017beocatb
Submitting a job with Perl
Much like R (above), you cannot simply 'sbatch myProgram.pl', but you must create a submit script which will call perl. Here is an example:
#SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=1G
# Now we tell qsub how long we expect our work to take: 15 minutes (H:MM:SS)
#SBATCH --time=0-0:15:00
# Now lets do some actual work.
module load Perl
perl /path/to/myProgram.pl
Octave for MatLab codes
module load Octave/4.2.1-foss-2017beocatb-enable64
The 64-bit version of Octave can be loaded using the command above. Octave can then be used to work with MatLab codes on the head node and to submit jobs to the compute nodes through the sbatch scheduler. Octave is made to run MatLab code, but it does have limitations and does not support everything that MatLab itself does.
#!/bin/bash -l #SBATCH --job-name=octave #SBATCH --output=octave.o%j #SBATCH --time=1:00:00 #SBATCH --mem=4G #SBATCH --nodes=1 #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1 module purge module load Octave/4.2.1-foss-2017beocatb-enable64 octave < matlab_code.m
MatLab compiler
Beocat also has a single-user license for the MatLab compiler and the most common toolboxes including the Parallel Computing Toolbox, Optimization Toolbox, Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox, Image Processing Toolbox, Curve Fitting Toolbox, Neural Network Toolbox, Sumbolic Math Toolbox, Global Optimization Toolbox, and the Bioinformatics Toolbox.
Since we only have a single-user license, this means that you will be expected to develop your MatLab code with Octave or elsewhere on a laptop or departmental server. Once you're ready to do large runs, then you move your code to Beocat, compile the MatLab code into an executable, and you can submit as many jobs as you want to the scheduler.
module load MATLAB
mcc -m matlab_main_code.m -o matlab_executable_name
#!/bin/bash -l #SBATCH --job-name=matlab #SBATCH --output=matlab.o%j #SBATCH --time=1:00:00 #SBATCH --mem=4G #SBATCH --nodes=1 #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1 module purge module load mcr ./matlab_executable_name
Again, we only have a single-user license for MatLab so the model is to develop and debug your MatLab code elsewhere or using Octave on Beocat, then you can compile the MatLab code into an executable and run it without limits on Beocat.
For more info on the mcc compiler see: https://www.mathworks.com/help/compiler/mcc.html
Installing my own software
Installing and maintaining software for the many different users of Beocat would be very difficult, if not impossible. For this reason, we don't generally install user-run software on our cluster. Instead, we ask that you install it into your home directories.
In many cases, the software vendor or support site will incorrectly assume that you are installing the software system-wide or that you need 'sudo' access.
As a quick example of installing software in your home directory, we have a sample video on our Training Videos page. If you're still having problems or questions, please contact support as mentioned on our Main Page.

(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) -- New research from the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, published in the Journal of Surgical Research, may help clinicians determine which patients are at highest risk for post-surgical blood clots in the legs or lungs.
A team led by Robert Canter, UC Davis associate professor of surgery, studied the medical histories of more than 470,000 surgical patients to determine which factors increased their risk of blood clots, also called venous thromboembolism (VTE). The team then created a nomogram, a type of calculator, which can help clinicians predict an individual's 30-day VTE risk. The results could change clinical practice by providing a more rational approach to preventing dangerous blood clots.
Blood clots are a critical safety and quality challenge for hospitals around the nation. While they can be prevented by administering blood thinners, such as heparin, these measures increase the risk of bleeding. To complicate matters, clinicians have had no way of determining which patients are at higher risk for blood clots, forcing them to adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to prevention.
"The standard preventive measure is heparin," said Canter. "However, there are many questions surrounding its use: What type of heparin should be administered? What dosage? Should we give it to patients before or after surgery? By identifying patients who are at higher risk for VTE, we attempt to answer many of these questions and help to personalize treatment."
Blood clots of the legs or lungs are a serious surgical complication, which can cause shortness of breath, longer hospital stays and, in rare cases, death. Successful treatment often requires patients to take the blood thinner Coumadin for three to six months after discharge.
The researchers combed through the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement (ACS-NSQIP) database to identify 471,000 patients who underwent abdominal or thoracic surgeries between 2005 and 2010. Their goal was to identify VTE events within 30 days of surgery, both in the hospital and after discharge (VTEDC). VTE includes deep vein thrombosis (clots in the legs) or pulmonary embolism (clots in the lungs).
The team considered many patient factors: age, body mass index (BMI), gender, race, pre-existing conditions, medical history, smoking and others. The group also factored in different approaches to surgeryabdominal, thoracic, laparoscopic, etc. as well as the specific procedure type such as gastrointestinal, hernia, bariatric, splenectomy or lung. They also looked at post-operative complications, as these could affect both the length of stay and blood clot prevention efforts.
"There are a multitude of factors that go into whether a patient is at risk for VTE, as well as how to prevent it," said Canter. "Prior to this study, no one had ever looked at so many of these factors so comprehensively."
Overall, 1.5 percent of patients experienced a blood clot before discharge, while .5 percent experienced one after discharge. These rates were very consistent throughout the study years. A variety of factors were associated with increased blood clot risk, including age, high BMI, preoperative infection, cancer and non-bariatric laparoscopic surgery. Splenectomies carried the highest risk for blood clot, while bariatric surgeries had a lower incidence. In addition, major complications after surgery raised the incidence of VTEDC.
Perhaps most significant, the risks indicated by the study deviate sharply from current Joint Commission risk appraisals. For example, based on the study's findings, a patient with a history of colon cancer who is having his colon partially removed laparoscopically to treat recurrent cancer has a 10 percent chance of suffering a blood clot. Meanwhile, a patient having an emergency hernia repair has less than a 5 percent risk. Under current guidelines, however, both patients would be treated as having equal risk. Use of the nomogram to calculate risk could allow clinicians to more precisely respond to each patient's individual risk factors.
Charles LaFlamme, of Sacramento, is a good example of a patient whose care could have benefited from a better understanding of blood-clot risks. After having a very large liposarcoma removed from his abdomen, he was sent to the intensive care unit, where he experienced a persistent elevated heart beat but no other symptoms. Approximately a week later, he experienced shortness of breath while walking in his hospital room. A CT scan identified a pulmonary embolism. Aggressive treatment was prescribed for his remaining hospital stay and, after discharge he was placed on Coumadin for six months. The treatment was successful and LaFlamme fully recovered.
"The medical staff handled the situation well, but I would have preferred to have avoided it altogether," said LaFlamme.
The UC Davis research produced a couple of surprises. Though high BMI generally increased risk, the risk did not carry over to bariatric procedures, perhaps because more aggressive measures are often taken to prevent blood clots in bariatric cases. That splenectomies put patients at higher risk for clots was also a surprise, as the researchers expected the procedure would instead expose them to a higher risk of bleeding.
Canter notes that while hospitals around the nation have been focused for several years on reducing VTE and VTEDC, these measures have not reduced their frequency.
"Despite all the attention to eliminating this as a post-operative complication, the numbers have remained static," said Canter. "This shows us that the approach needs to be more individualized."
While these results need to be validated, Canter believes the data will help clinicians take a more evidence-based approach to administering heparin and reducing the incidence of blood clots. He says use of the information fits with hospitals' overall concern about safety, quality and cost. Specifically, these data could help hospitals and clinicians better focus their quality-of-care initiatives, ensuring that incentives and penalties are based on an accurate model of patient risk.

A family member is interested in getting their basement finished, and one of the things they'd like to do is have an additional bedroom in the basement. The bedroom should have a window. However, the basement doesn't have a window in the area most desired for the bedroom location.
What kind of contractor should be hired to install a new basement window where there wasn't one before? i.e. this is not replacing a window, but creating one where there used to be concrete, brick, etc.
The window people spoken to supply and install windows but won't do the harder parts.
It sounds like foundation-related work to me, but it's not installing or repairing foundation, rather modifying some foundation, removing bricks, installing a lintel, a window well, correct drainage?
Essentially, we're not sure where to start looking in the phone book! Foundation people? Brick people? Other?

What was so brilliant about Ed Murrow and his See it Now newscast. Is that they actually did not bring down one of the most popular U.S. Senators and members of Congress. In Senator Joe McCarthy, Senator McCarthy did that to himself. By speeches he gave in and out of the U.S. Senate and what Murrow and his See it Now staff would do. Is just report on those things that Senator McCarthy did. And then Ed Murrow would give his commentary about those things.

STOCKHOLM – Facebook on Wednesday started processing data through its first server farm outside the United States, on the edge of the Arctic Circle in Sweden.
The company inaugurated servers in about half of its new, 300,000-square foot (28,000-square meter) facility outside the city Lulea Wednesday, saying it should improve the social network's performance in Europe.
Facebook director of site operations Tom Furlong told the Associated Press the company will expand capacity at the site gradually to serve a large chunk of Facebook's European users.
Facebook is one of nine major U.S. Internet providers whose customers' usage is swept up every day by an NSA counterterror surveillance program. The secret court order that authorizes the program, named PRISM, only allows it to examine foreigners' internet usage overseas.
Furlong didn't want to comment on the program but said the data stored in Sweden is replicated in other locations in the U.S.
Jon Karlung, a campaigner for Internet freedom and CEO of Swedish Internet service provider Banhof, said the fact that the servers are located in Sweden doesn't change anything.
"Everything is mirrored so there will be no security for those who use it," he said.
When Facebook announced its plans to build the new server farm in Sweden two years ago, Internet activists warned it would expose users to potential eavesdropping from Sweden's National Defence Radio Establishment, also known by its Swedish initials FRA.
Karlung on Wednesday said the NSA program appears to be much more far-reaching than the FRA surveillance scheme that has been ongoing since 2008.
"FRA gets a momentary glimpse of what is happening, but PRISM has access to systems where everything from the past is stored," Karlung told the Associated Press, calling the new facility in Lulea a "giant spying centre."
Furlong dismissed those allegations with a simple "No."
Facebook said it chose to locate its servers in Lulea partly because of the cold climate — crucial for maintaining the servers' temperature — and access to renewable energy from nearby hydropower facilities. The move reflects the growing international presence of the California-based site, which counts 1.11 billion users worldwide.

I remember hearing about the Denise Gigante book while she was still researching it. I happily anticipated it. I thought it a good read, but someone who isn't as "into" George Keats as I am might not have the same reaction as I did. The author, I understand, had been to the Filson Club in Louisville, KY, to use research materials there. (When I visited the Filson Club back in 2010 -- my second trip to Louisville in search of George's grave -- the staff in the archives was absolutely lovely to me, gracious and helpful. I liked that Gigante had a good bit of information about James Freeman Clarke, a close friend of George's and my favorite American Transcendentalist.
Another book that came out about the same time, "George Keats of Kentucky," was written by Lawrence Crutcher, a great-great-great-grandson of George Keats. When I started the book, I hoped to learn what really happened between George and the French/Haitian/American naturalist, John James Audubon. (It was with Audubon that George entered into that ill-fated investment that failed and caused George to return briefly to England to try to get more money.) But, LOL, in Crutcher's opinion that incident was so very confusing and poorly documented that it's unlikely anyone will ever figure out what happened.
A third book that's somewhat related -- well tangentially related, anyway -- is "The Immortal Dinner," by Penelope Hughes-Hallett, dealing with Benjamin Robert Haydon and his creation of the painting, "Christ's Entry into Jerusalem." (The painting is now in Cincinnati.)

I thought it would be kinda cool, if we had a separate thread for user-identified bugs and fixes.
It'll allow everybody to stay on the same page, and current without having to 're-invent the wheel'-per-newbie.
Also bug-fixers can have a common area to analyse, compare, comment-on and discuss posted fixes, for a given bug... so that the best fix gets implemented by readers.
Please try to post all future Bug Reports and fixes on this thread.
If U have bookmarks of earlier bug-reports and fixes for the ClubSite Starter kit, kindly post the relevant links here (without reproducing the entire text)
Thanks you.
P.S. If any of U feel this thread wasn't necessary, pls. voice your concerns and offer alternate advice.

Ok ! here goes the 1st one...(nothingmajor, but it's fresh as of today)
Bug# 1
This one needs a Starter Kit setup with no photo-albums.
1. Delete all existing photo Albums from your Club website (or use a fresh new Starter Kit)
2. Login in an Admin role and add a new Event
3. Select a photo for this event from your hard-drive
4. Because U have no Albums the Album combo-box is empty. Let it be so.
5. When you try to save this Event, the application errors out.
Fix # 1.1
Open Photos_FormPicker.ascx Go to Line 131
Replace CInt( AlbumList2.SelectedValue)
with CInt( "0" & AlbumList2.SelectedValue)
Save file and try to simulate again.

Hey folks, if we are going to Maintain a list of Bugs and Fixes. Might I suggest we keep a Message which can be updated daily.
The main reason being it would be easy to identify if any given bug has been identified and cataloged, perhaps we could even prioritize them and address as a group.
So who will step up and take on the task of maintaining the list? as a Top Level Message in this thread.

Now that this thread is sticky, the top-level message displays as "locked".
I cannot post a reply to that message, in order to add a bug/fix to the list at the level just below the top level . Perhaps this a limitation of the forum software, in which case some strategy is needed to get all the added fixes posted at the same level for easy browsing.

Does anybody have the Issue Tracking Kit up and running? That would be a fantastic way to integrate some of the Starter Kits.
We could use the Issue Starter Kit to keep track of the issues we find on the Club Starter Kit.

Angelo ...
I installed the ITK ... and it seems to be 'working'. Now, I need to see what 'it can do' ! I installed the Access version because I have been working daily with Access for 14 years and am intimately familiar with it.
Looking at the ITK Forum, there seem a lot of 'issues' - kind of ironic. So, I need to assess the ITK ... find the issues ... and really, see it I have time to really get it up an running to a useful state. The ITK in itself is no doubt a project in itself! I have sites where I can host it, you hosting is not a problem per se.
I will get back to you in a bit ...

I think a much watered down solution with a Simple Table or Two and a Gridview with Edit/Update capabilites would be better.
Make a Table... PTHEADER - Problem Ticket Header
Ticket Number
Ticket Status
PTDETAIL - Problem Ticket Detail
Ticket Number
Ticket Entry
Ticket Entry Details - VarChard (Multi-Line Text Field)
Cardinality would be 1:N
1 PTHEADER Record for Many PTDETAIL , so probably the Primary Key on the PTDETAIL would be TicketNumber,TicketEntry
This would be an extremely simplified and easy to create Gridview master with DetailView.
Let me know what you think, I do believe I have already implemented a Grid with Master and Detail in my version of the Personal Site Starter Kit.

Hey Woofmeister, this is a long shot, but are you logged in as an admin that you created via the asp.net configuration (rather than a user that was created through the club site create user wizard)?
If you create a user via the config tool, then the site's database doesn't know about that user, has no entry for them, and thus can't update them. Try creating a new user via the membership registration thingy, then use the cofig tool to make them an admin.

I noticed after implementing your fix that I landed at /Events_view.aspx?EventID= which is great except my links to previous and next don't work. Which is not surprising, I'm having the same problem with previous and next location links, I'm just started working on it with little success but I'll keep pluggin away somethings gotta give.

Hi Dravend,
Good catch dude ! Thanx for the Input.
As U reported, after hitting Cancel, the page indeed landed at List View of events with /Events_view.aspx?EventID= (which looks so lame and abrupt) in the IE address bar. But the page displayed the 1st event, and surprisingly I was able to navigate to NEXT events (not previous events, as there were none, although for some reason the link remained enabled the 1st time).
Overall how many Events have U created in your App? Just trying to simulate your scenario.
Apr 18, 2006 01:12 PM|Dravend|LINK
Hey Bugslayer, I have 3 events all were pending. 1 April, 1 May, 1 June. Same goes with the locations list as they're tied to the three different events. I'll create some previous events and see what happens.
Thanks, Dravend

The original title in my version of the file was "News Items". This can be fixed at the top of the page with this:

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Default.master" Title="Locations" Trace="false" %>

Be sure to use VB as the language if that is what you have. The second problem, with event wireup, is associated with the next/previous buttons. I believe the original code, almost at the bottom of the file, is like so:

<Club:PageNumberer ID="pn2" runat="server" DisplayedPages="7"
OnSelectedPageChanged="pn1_SelectedPageChanged" />

And what you reall want is for the pn2_SelectedPageChanged method to be tickled, like so:

<Club:PageNumberer ID="pn2" runat="server" DisplayedPages="7"
OnSelectedPageChanged="pn2_SelectedPageChanged" />

Of course, for the previous PageNumberer, the one with id="pn1", you want pn1_SelectedPageChanged. Looks like a simple copy/paste error.

I totally rewrote the News/Announcements Paging code, just did not seem to work properly and sometimes it is better to just redo something as opposed to deconstruct someone else's spaghetti.
I have not tried creating more than 10 events for the List all events to see if the Paging code works, I suspect you will encounter the same problems.
Apr 19, 2006 11:00 AM|cheeso|LINK
Angelo, maybe you are talking about News_View.aspx? This is the page where you view a single news item and you can click next or previous to navigate among them all. It is different than News_list.aspx (or the similar Locations_List.aspx) that I mentioned above. The *_list.aspx pages just list a "page worth" of news or events or locations. And you can go to the next page, etc. The problem I found there was pretty simple. The problems I found in *_View.aspx were more subtle.
For News_View.aspx, I too noticed that the next/previous links were just not working. a Next or Prev link would be active when it shouldn't be (eg, a previous link was active for the very first news item, or a next link for the very last). Clicking on these invalid links would refresh the page, display the same (first or last) news item (or location, or event), but the link would then be (properly) not enabled. Anyway it was broken, and the behavior was confusing.
I tried tweaking it a little bit, but as you say, sometimes it is better to just redo. So I fixed the next/previous logic for News_View.aspx and Event_View.aspx, and re-factored the result. I tried it with more than 3 pages worth of news and events and it is working nicely. Cleaner, too. As I said, this problem and fix is totally independent of the next/prev problem that I found in Locations_List.aspx, which was apparently just a sloppy cut-n-paste.
I don't know if this (next/prev broken in News_View.aspx) is a previously-mentioned problem or not, but anyway, enclosed below is my code for a corrected News_View.aspx. It employs a private class for tracking the previous and next items of an article. To me it is cleaner and clearer. There are a couple other, independent changes in this code you should be aware of, if you want to use it:
(1) I added a little method (CanEdit) to turn the Edit button on or off, depending on the identity of the user. Only the original poster can update a news item. This requires a change to the DB Schema for the Announcements/News table; I added a postedBy varchar field, and I retrieve it in the query. If you don't want that feature, then just remove mention of the CanEdit() in code and in the markup, remove the retrieval of the postedBy column in the query, and remove the text that says "last posted by" in the panel.
(2) There is a call to a new method GetStatusMessage() which just references a Session variable and returns its contents. I inserted that to track "silent failures" that the club site sometimes exhibits (eg, doesn't update the DB, but doesn't tell you). You can just yank that part, or implement your own.
(3) I changed the name of the table from announcements to News. This is gratuitous. To undo that change, just search/replace news for announcements in all the queries.
Those are the only "other" changes I can recall making in this aspx. Anyway, here is the new code to fix the paging. (sorry no VB)

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Default.master" Title="Untitled Page" Trace="false"%>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="Club" Namespace="ClubSite" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="Club" TagName="LoginBanner" Src="LoginBanner.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="Club" TagName="ImageThumbnail" Src="ImageThumbnail.ascx" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>

Royal Trux | 01/01/70
Domino are reissuing Royal Trux's masterpiece Accelerator, originally released in 1998. It was the third album in the Trux Trilogy of dedications to decades: Thank You was the 60s, Sweet Sixteen the 70s and Accelerator the 80s. It will be reissued on October 8th on CD and vinyl; pre-order it HERE.
As Alexis Taylor from our very own Hot Chip affirms, it is "a record that every home needs to have, and every body needs to quake to; every turntable needs to revolve a copy, and every laptop speaker needs to blare out its sonic joys."
A record that always sounded ahead of its time as much as an historically accurate walk down memory lane, Accelerator is a truly remarkable sounding record. Producer Neil Hegarty explains how its unique sound was created: "We played a record we liked through a spectrum analyzer and "captured" the EQ shape and then applied that to the finished track. For example 'I'm Ready' ran through the Archie's 'Sugar, Sugar' filter and so on."
But all of this production would be nothing without nine songs, each with pure exhilaration at its core; huge riffs, pounding drum tracks, choruses that everyone is compelled to sing along with, and even odes to Steven Seagal; brains and brawn all in one package.
Watch the video for 'Liar' from the album now:
The tracklisting for Accelerator is as follows:
1. I'm Ready
2. Yellow Kid
3. The Banana Question
4. Another Year
5. Juicy Juicy Juice
6. Liar
7. New Bones
8. Follow The Winner
9. Stevie

Infertility refers to a medical condition wherein a couple is unable to achieve pregnancy or cannot carry it full term after trying for a period of one year or more. Studies have revealed that over 15 percent of couples in the world are witnessing relationship issues because of infertility. Most couples are not able to fulfill the dream of having their own biological child. Couples without any infertility issues usually conceive within a year of time while a minimum percentage of the same achieve pregnancy in the second year. Those who are unable to conceive even after trying for two consecutive years or twelve months seek medical help. Infertility can be from a male partner or a female partner because a healthy egg from a female partner and healthy sperms are needed for pregnancy to occur. Couples can experience infertility due low or no sperm count, varicocele or sperm damage in men, whereas in women it can occur due to infrequent menstrual periods, ovulation disorders, blockage in the fallopian tubes, athletic training, improper diet, and other reproductive problems. Women under 35 years of age can wait for a year and those above 35 can wait for six months before contacting the best In Vitro Fertilization TESA centres in Lajpat Rai Road, Allahabad.

Everyone's favorite industry analyst, Michael Pachter, says that, rumored Wii HD upgrade not withstanding, this current console generation is gonna be with us at least four more years.
In an industry newsletter (as reported by Edge), Pachter wrote "We do not expect the 'next' generation to begin before 2013, if at all." The "if at all" is really curious. But considering that's about four years away, by then who knows what will be playing, delivering or hosting our games. Or he could be imagining a future so ravaged by swine flu and economic hardship that we're all back to rolling hoops with a stick for our entertainment.
More definitively, Pachter said "no 'new' console(s) in 2010," which anyone could tell you, but to some investors it might not be so obvious. But he adds "other than the long-rumored high definition Wii, which is likely to upgrade the Wii to current console technology." That he does expect by the end of next year.
The chief force against premature next gen-eration would be game publishers, Pachter says. They "have as yet to capitalize on the immense investments made in being competitive in the current cycle," and so would resist a new console generation, with new software and development demands.
"We therefore think it is likely that the 'next' generation will begin after 2013, meaning that software sales are likely to grow by a compounded annual rate of 6–10 percent for another five years," he concludes.

Flash flood warning issued for Litchfield County
The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for Litchfield County until 7:15 p.m.
The NWS issued the alert after Doppler radar at 1:12 p.m. indicated flash flooding possible from thunderstorms over the area.
"The thunderstorms are expected to train across the warned area during the next several hours," the weather service alert advised. "With rainfall amounts as high as 2 to 4 inches expected."
A hazardous weather outlook has also been put in place for Litchfield County. Scattered thunderstorms are expected, some that could be severe with damaging winds and heavy rainfall.
The NWS said runoff from the heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small creeks and streams, highways and underpasses and country roads and farmlands along the banks of creeks. Streams and other low-lying areas are subject to flooding, according to the weather service.
The weather service also reminds drivers to "never drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful enough to sweep vehicles off the road.
"When encountering flood roads make the smart choice. Turn around. Don't drown," the NWS advises.

In 2 days I received a sample of my carpet and pad in a very nice box with a card letting me know exactly what was going to happen next and how to prepare my rooms for install. When the crew arrived on install day they came in and got right to work. They completely installed my new carpet in 2 hours. The crew were all extremely polite, very knowledgable and took pride in their work.
The carpet is beautiful. The pad is very comfortable underneath. Almost as if you are walking on a cloud. I thought I would take some time to ensure the quality of product before I wrote the review. The carpet months later has not worn down of matted down. The product is strong and durable. I would highly refer anyone to myFlooring for their carpet needs. Thank you MyFlooring.com!
