1. Re: Failover testing on 5.1.4.cr1Dan Berindei Apr 25, 2012 7:39 AM (in response to Sandeep Kumar)
Sandeep, are you sure you didn't change anything else, like enabling L1? We do have a known issue when L1 is enabled that can cause inconsistencies when a node is added (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1830), but I'm not aware of any problems when nodes leave the cluster.
Can you send more details? A runnable test would be ideal.
Also, your VERIFY_SUSPECT timeout seems awfully high, are you sure state transfer is even started by the time your test ends when you run with 300000?
2. Re: Failover testing on 5.1.4.cr1Sandeep Kumar Apr 26, 2012 2:00 AM (in response to Dan Berindei)
Thanks Dan I will disable L1 cache and try... also i am going to reduce the verify suspect timeout.
The reason i kept huge timeouts was that in a vmware environment i found if i had lower timeout values there would be suspect exceptions and then we had some issues. (We have been using distributed mode from version 5.0 onwards and have seen many improvements since the beginning.)
Could you help me with the folowing doubts:
In case we bring a node down and we give a call to the server as soon as the node goes down we see that the server waits for the verify suspect timeout and then returns the call.
The call is basically a series of gets/puts/removes/distributedExecutor service submitEverywhere().
I have seen that in some cases it would fail in any of these calls... what is the right way to handle this do we do retries on put/get/remove?
What is the correct behavior that you expect the call should return without issues or we should send an exception to the user to retry later when all bookkeeping activities are done?

Smartphone has revolutionized our lives. No wonder, India has emerged as one of the biggest market of Smartphone in the world. With internet reaching far off areas, more and more people are accessing web today from their homes than ever before. Internet has made our lives quite easy now. From shopping to dating, everything is possible online. But there is a darker side of technology as well. With instant access and ease of networking, the anti-social elements have entered our homes through the Smartphone. Even kids are not safe as there is no censorship on the content published online. It has become mandatory to become vigilant and those who trust others blindly are duped easily by their own relations. The best way to protect your loved ones from harassment is to buy mobile hacking software in Delhi and install it secretly on their Smartphone, without their knowledge.
Visit any mobile phone hacking software shop in Delhi and ask for a branded hacking software. There are many companies claiming their product as the best one but if you compare their features, it would not be difficult to notice that most of these are not complete e.g. some are suitable for selective models of Smartphone and some need change in the hardware of the target phone. The older versions were too heavy and lead to reduction or slowing of the Smartphone but the latest ones are compatible with most of the branded Smartphone. In other words, now you can easily bug your spouse's Smartphone without him or her getting the faintest idea of what is going on?
Most of us are fond of comparing the price of mobile hacking software in Gurgaon before placing an order. Although this habit is invariably fruitful but it can't be generalized. Sometimes, sellers try to push substandard products in the markets by offering them at throwaway prices and innocent buyers fall in their trap. The best way to make best use of your hard earned money is to order your choicest gadget only after going through the reviews available online. Some features, one should always compare in different software are as follows-

"CD-i 2" - The sequel to CD-i that never was
>> Friday, November 9, 2007
What if Philips entered the videogames market for a second time after the first CD-i adventure? You wouldn't believe this chance was pretty real, and several contacts were available between Philips and Argonaut to build a chip for CD-i 2. When that turned out to be too expensive for Philips, they did another try collaborating with 3DO who were also having a hard time succeeding in the videogames market. Anyway, Philips President Boonstra cut all costs in their Media division so every new videogames/media plan was shelved. After all those years there are still only a few hints at all those promising plans that never came out.
Inside people were also hinting at an upgrade of the Digital Video Cartridge that should be able to run 3D games, but I never found anyone who could elaborate on this subject. It would mean a different version of the DVC, something like a graphics acceleration cartridge which could be plugged in the same extension port as the current DVC cart. Anyway, it never happened. Many sources close to CD-i who were also full of belief in the format were confident that when Philips had the guts they would be able to show Sony the world. Again, this is ofcourse pure speculation!
In 1995 there were many investigations and debates by Philips about the future plans of their gaming business. All came to nothing after various stages of Research and Development. The core business lines were active in both The Netherlands (Eindhoven) and UK (Redhill, London). Unfortunately CD-i was not a commercial success and it wasn't generating money for new investments. The first goal when developing a follow-up to CD-i was to strengthen the 3D performance (many people recognised that "multimedia" was more about games than anything else) so it could become a games console. However Philips overall decided that the games market (then dominated by Nintendo and Sega, those were even pre-Playstation days) was too expensive to enter. It is very possible that Philips in 1995 did not have the resources (financial, technical, managerial, marketing, games software etc) to make it a success. The company was still turning itself around in those days.
However, this is what an anonymous source told us: "The second gen CD-i player was looking at using an arm processor and we used Argonaut at point, to help spec it out (Jez San being the principle there) out of the UK. Then later we looked at doing work with 3DO and Philips met with them up at their offices on a couple of occasions."
Moreover, Argonaut's Jez San confirms the developments on "CD-i 2": "Argonaut worked closely with Nintendo during the early years of the NES and SNES. Argonaut was fundamental in developing the Super FX Chip for the SNES, which was used in Star Fox. Back then, in the early 90's, the Super FX chip was the world's best selling RISC microprocessor-- outselling the ARM and MIPS chips by millions in those years. It was only when the PlayStation came out in the mid 90's that we got beaten on RISC sales. The entire 3D acceleration market that NVidia and ATI now dominate, Argonaut was there first and we've got the patents to prove it. After we built the Super FX chip for Nintendo, we went on to design a chip for Philips for a videogame machine that never came out (codenamed GreenPiece aka CD-I 2)."
Devin elaborates on the existence of the "CD-i 2": "Jez said the same thing to me years ago when I was interviewing him about Starfox 2. Although he recalled the chips codename as 'Project Greensleeves'! Then again he admitted the memory was hazy in this respect so I guess we can let him off. This information was previously released in the RetroGamer issue that covered CD-i. Unfortunately the knowledge seemed somewhat sparse on the CD-i 2 GPU."

One person was killed and 15 injured in a van rollover Tuesday night on Interstate 380 northbound that forced the closure of the highway between Tobyhanna and Mount Pocono.
One person was killed and 15 injured in a van rollover Tuesday night on Interstate 380 northbound that forced the closure of the highway between Tobyhanna and Mount Pocono, according to state police at Swiftwater.
Six people were in critical condition in various area hospitals.

The driver and occupants were transported to Geisinger Community Medical Center, Moses Taylor Hospital and Pocono Medical Center.
One occupant of the vehicle was pronounced dead at Geisinger.
Police have not released the names of the passengers.
EMS united from Pocono Mountain Regional, Tobyhanna Army Depot, Central Pocono Ambulance and Surburban responded to the scene. Fire companies from Tobyhanna Army Depot, Pocono Summit and Coolbaugh Township were assisting on scene.
The investigation is continuing and police ask that anyone who witnessed the crash to call 570-839-7701.

Famous Authors and Their Typewriters
[Editor's note: While your Flavorwire editors take a much-needed holiday break, we'll spend the next two weekends revisiting some of our most popular features of the year. This post was originally published May 30, 2011.] There's something magical about catching a glimpse of one of your favorite authors at work – even a photo of the epic event can send an anxious thrill down your spine, as if you might be able to see some hint of literary genius in posture or setting, in attire or facial expression. And it's even better if they're working on a typewriter. After all, there's something impossibly gorgeous about a typewriter – maybe it's the vintage charm, maybe it's the physicality the noisy machine lends to the writing process, but people (and you can count us among them) go mad for typewriters, especially if they've been used by someone famous. Inspired by LIFE's "In Praise of the Typewriter" photo gallery, we decided to compile all our favorite authors-at-work-on-typewriters photographs for your viewing pleasure, so click through to indulge in a little vintage literary eye candy.

Bluewater Bay Resort LLC has submitted its plans to shorten four holes on the Magnolia golf course and sell the extra land for single-family and multi-family housing.
BLUEWATER BAY � Bluewater Bay Resort LLC has submitted its plans to shorten four holes on the Magnolia golf course and sell the extra land for single-family and multi-family housing.
Bluewater Bay Resort, which owns the four nine-hole courses in the development, has been looking for ways to keep them all open while reducing its annual maintenance costs, which averages about $8,000 per acre.
Bluewater Bay submitted its application for the changes Jan. 22 to the West Florida Regional Planning Council, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and Okaloosa County, said Steve Hall, a Destin attorney who represents the resort�s owners.
Under the plan, holes 4 and 9 would be shortened to make room for two single-family developments whose density would allow a maximum of 28 and 20 homes, respectively. Holes 6 and 7 would be shortened to develop a single parcel that would allow for multi-family units such as senior housing, assisted living facilities, apartments and the like.
Several residents have expressed their frustration about the proposal. There was some talk at informational meetings late last year about suing to prevent the changes.
�I hope that we can figure out a way to do this without ending up with some big battle in front of the (Okaloosa County Commission),� Hall said. �We�re still trying to figure out a way, and we�ll keep on trying.�
Hall said the plans to shorten the holes have had some minor changes. He said the new parcels have been made smaller to reduce the impact on the holes.
The West Florida Regional Planning Council has 45 days to review the application to determine if the proposed changes would create any regional impacts. If the Planning Council approves the application, the County Commission is required to host a public hearing to approve or deny the changes within 15 days of the approval.
If commissioners approve the change, the parcels would be put up for sale. Hall said developers already have contacted Bluewater Bay Resort about the land.
�We have had conversations with a number of local builders,� Hall said. �The market is back. You can�t sell a vacant lot, but if you can put a house on it you can have a pretty short sale time frame. They�re actually looking for land again.�

Fill in the blanks with the correct answers. New requirements for marking of cable trays apply when the cable trays installed within substations contain conductors _________. The warning notice shall be installed in a conspicuous position along the cable tray at intervals not to exceed ____ ft.
- with 600V insulation; 20
- cable tray rated; 50
- rated higher than 600V; 10
- rated higher than 35kV; 20
Answer: C
A new section has been added to Art. 225 of the 2011 NEC. Section 225.70 outlines the warning sign requirements in substations. The term "substation" is also a new definition in Art. 100.
As noted in 225.70(A)(1)(c), a "DANGER — HIGH VOLTAGE" sign shall be placed "on all cable trays containing high-voltage conductors with the maximum spacing of warning notices not to exceed 10 ft." ANSI Z-535.2 or ANSI Z-535.4 may also provide guidelines for the warning notice.

Triathlon is becoming more and more popular within the UK. The London Triathlon - one of the world's most popular - is now had its 11th year. In 2001 the event had 1000 entrants, last year's London Triathlon saw an extraordinary 11,000 entries, and across the UK event organisers say the same thing: more and more people are signing up for a discipline that the observer might conclude is more akin to torture than fun.
After the local Summer Triathlon it has come to our attention that there may be a healthy appetite in the area for more of the same.
If anyone has tried to get on the Adult Improver swimming classes at Aqualibrium recently you will have found that the classes are fully booked and the pool has a healthy waiting list of persons determined to improve their stroke and ability, and the popular uptake has been linked to the Summer Triathlon event.
To help promote Triathlon in Campbeltown and South Kintyre, increase the use of the swimming pool, and grow a summer event, we would like to attempt the organisation of another Triathlon event in mid-March (16th or 17th), to consist of a pool swim(400m/800m or both), 20km bike and 5km run, using the same routes as before, up to Ballygreggan on the bike and down Kilkerran with the run.
We are learning to walk before we run, and the event would be entirely for fun, and primarily for local entrants. There will be no timing chips, or splits recorded, those details would be down to the participants. Whistle, Stopwatch, Pen, and Paper will be used extensively. This would all be reflected in the entry fee, and after any costs, the proceeds will be donated to charity.
Mid-Argyll run a very sucessful event in Lochgilphead and we think that we can do a similar thing in town.
It is with regret that Team Entry will not be permitted for this initial event in an attempt to limit the number of participants to those serious about all 3 disciplines.
If you do want to take part, please don't let this put you off. Training will be required in all 3 disciplines, but some books claim 5 hours a week will have you ready and Triathlon Coaching may become available through Aquilibrium if there is enough demand.
Nothing has yet been put in motion and nothing is set in stone, the purpose of this post is to find out the number of those interested in taking part and those that may wish to also help with the organisation.
If you are interested in taking part, know someone who may, want to become involved or have some suggestions to help make it a success then please contact us on the Forum or send us an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Best Regards
Campbeltown Tri

Everyone knows (don't they?) that 60 is the new 40. Or is it 30? Anyhow, three questions that touch on the issue of age …
Dear Answer Angel Ellen: I would like to get a makeup update but hesitate for two reasons. First, I know that any cosmetic brand counter I go to is going to push only their products. I don't believe this is necessarily the best for me. Second, I don't think a 20- or 30-year-old is who I want helping me since I'm old enough to be her mom.
Dear C.V.: Here's an option: Sign up for a free group class or book an individual makeup tutorial at Sephora, which has stores around the country including hundreds in J.C. Penney stores. You'll get 45 minutes of free one-on-one advice if you spend $50, and twice the time if you spend $125 (sephora.com). Makeup artists have access to all the many brands sold at Sephora. You're right that at a department store makeup counter, the makeup artists will be using only the brand of products they represent, and their goal is to make you look so great that you'll want to buy the whole shebang. But resist! Ask for samples and go home and think about it.
But what about your concerns that a younger person won't be much help? I asked stylist Nancy Plummer, (finethreadschicago.com) who said, "It's not necessarily the age of the person, it's the skill, experience and technique that the makeup artist uses that makes you feel comfortable and natural in your own skin." At the department store, watch the artists work on others and check out how their own makeup is applied. "Finding a good makeup line and artist that works for you and your skin tone is a lot like trying on and finding the best brand (of) jeans," Plummer says. If you're still confused, Plummer says consider Bobbi Brown, a line that promotes a natural look. (See the how-to videos on bobbibrowncosmetics.com).
Dear Answer Angel Ellen: Perhaps I'm jealous that I've never had long hair. … Why, oh why do women of a certain age continue to allow their stringy long hair remain long or tied down in a pony tail? I see so many looking just terrible, and I can envision them in short hair and their faces would shine. Perhaps you could address this (I believe) important issue!
— Barbara D.
Dear Barbara: I agree with you that most women in their 50s and upward would look more polished with a shorter style. But 60-year-old model Christie Brinkley looked great on the cover of People magazine with her long blond hair flowing way past her shoulders. So clearly there are exceptions. However, I'm with you that long lank hair, gray or color treated, is never flattering, and especially not on "women of a certain age."
Dear Answer Angel Ellen: Help! I am getting ready for a big family vacation in the Mediterranean. It will be pretty hot there. I would love to not look too much like a little old lady tourist, while staying cool. So if I don't wear capris, what do I wear? I am a plus-size woman, with lots of spider veins, and shorts are way out. I look awful in them, even/especially Bermudas. I'm looking for some advice — what do people wear to stay cool? Hard to imagine wearing skirts when I am climbing walls and wearing sneakers.
— Debbie L.
Dear Debbie: Honestly, I do understand why so many women favor capris. Their legs (and their body shape) look terrible in shorts. But pants that come to midcalf make legs look shorter and fatter, and they're not any cooler than a pant that comes to the ankle. Sure, if you buy capris you don't have to worry about hemming them, but the trade-off is not worth it. Lightweight pants, especially linen, with a pretty untucked woven shirt or a tunic is a great, cool alternative. I've had good luck finding these items at Old Navy (oldnavy.com).
Dear Answer Angel Ellen: Do you know of any resale shops (brick-and-mortar stores) that pay when they accept clothes you leave with them?
— Julie
And another resale question…
Dear Answer Angel Ellen: Where is the best consignment store that would take a rabbit fur coat? How about a knockoff awesome "Gucci" briefcase?
— Connie R.
Dear Julie and Connie: Virtually all stores that resell gently used clothes and accessories pay you a percentage of the sale price only after they're sold. In addition, they are often fussy about condition, want only higher-end labels (not knockoffs) and require an appointment to accept seasonal clothing only. Buffalo Exchange (buffaloexchange.com), a national chain, is an exception. They'll accept offerings anytime and pay you immediately: either 35 percent of the amount they price them or 50 percent of the marked price in in-store credit. If the rabbit coat has seen better days, you might want to donate it at any Buffalo Exchange between now and Earth Day (April 22) to be used as bedding for injured and orphaned animals. This applies only to real fur, not faux.

Cindy S. responds to the reader who couldn't find an absorbent terry bathrobe: "I found a wonderfully thick, heavy terry cloth robe at Ikea for $20! It has been perfect!"
Dear Cindy: It's the $19.99 Njuta bathrobe (ikea.com). I tested it and found it to be a terrific bargain.
Reader Rant
A trend that needs to end: Black fingernail and toenail polish makes a woman's digits look dirty. When I see black or even brown polish on someone, it reminds me of when a little kid takes a Sharpie or felt marker to their nails as a goof. In my world of fashion rules, the only women allowed to wear black nail polish are Lily Munster, Morticia Addams and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) The Green Bay Packers' playoff hopes remained mostly intact following Sunday's blowout loss at the New York Giants.
``Everything we want to accomplish is still in front of us and that'll be our focus,'' Packers coach Mike McCarthy said following the 38-10 loss. I believe in what we're about as a football team.''
In a departure from normal protocol, McCarthy did not conduct his customary day-after-the-game news conference Monday.
As ugly as the performance might have been against the same team that ended its 15-1 season with an NFC Divisional Playoff victory at Lambeau Field last Jan. 15, the Packers still have ample opportunity to win the NFC North title and set themselves up for a playoff run. They might not land a first-round playoff bye like they did last year. Then again, that didn't do them much good anyway.
With the loss, the Packers (7-4) fell one game behind the Chicago Bears (8-3) in the division. They're presently tied with the Giants (7-4) for the fourth-best record in the NFC, behind Atlanta (10-1), San Francisco (8-2-1) and the Bears. If the season ended today, the Packers would be the NFC's No. 5 seed and would return to MetLife Stadium to face the Giants, who have a two-game lead in the NFC East.

'The Conspirator' has an ulterior motive
3 popcornsBy Michael S. Goldberger Special to The Citizen
Robert Redford's "The Conspirator," about the only female accused of conspiring to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln, informs of a sad truth you first learn in the playground and then have confirmed somewhere in your graduate history studies. Might makes right. Oh, we noble Americans try alright. But we still have quite a way to go.
Detailing the rigmarole of conscience and the fear that too often trumps it despite our best efforts to realize an enlightened society, "The Conspirator" intelligently dissects the trial that shortly followed the catastrophe. A few paragraphs in, it is apparent that while shedding light on the historic episode, Mr. Redford is also referencing its example.
Just as the antiwar "M*A*S*H" (1970) was about Korea, but really an epistle about Vietnam, it is clear that the case of Mary Surratt is a barely veiled muckrake of how we've dealt with our most recent class of alleged terrorists. Led by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton's charge, Robin Wright Penn's Surratt is denied a jury trial.
Stanton wants to leave nothing to chance. A war-weary, beleaguered nation is hungry for quick remediation and healing. Hence, she is to be judged by a military tribunal of seven generals and two colonels. And since no lawyer might represent her without himself being accused of treason, the perfunctory defense falls on an unproven novice.
While a celebrated war hero and undeniable advocate of justice, James McAvoy's Frederick Aiken demurs politely when approached by Maryland Sen. Reverdy Johnson to defend Mrs. Surratt. The cards are stacked. Nonetheless, politics and careers being what they are, he ultimately accedes to the lead defense attorney's imploring.
The stage set and the players in place, director Redford rolls up his sleeves and unfurls a substantial, filmic monograph on this unfortunate but very telling chapter in American history. Though complicated, and fraught with as many unanswered questions as still attend the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, there is an engaging accessibility.
Invitingly realistic art direction and costumes establish the era; competent acting performances secure the demeanor and intrigue surrounding the painful crucible. Machiavelli is alive and well in 1865 Washington, D.C. So is the social scene, absorbing and integrating the cause celebre into its daily buzz. And then there's Mrs. Surratt herself.
No sense equivocating here. Redford, working from a script by James D. Solomon, is decidedly sympathetic to the accused's case for reasons that will studiously evolve as the story unfolds. Of course, in Hollywood fashion, despite the film's independent bearing, counselor Aiken will take some convincing. Suffice it to note, he is first a seeker of truth.
Robin Wright Penn is excellent in the title role as she walks a frayed tightrope between national disgrace and unwitting victim of circumstance. As of April 1865 the U.S. Federal Government has never executed a woman. That this may soon be about to change is sharply dramatized in Mrs. Surratt's wrinkle lines, perplexed gaze and wary speech.
Just in case you forgot this right after you aced the test, the only known conspirator to have eluded the long arm of the law following the assassination was Mary's son, John (Johnny Simmons). Often in the company of the plotters during late night sessions in mom's boarding house, his complicity is less a cause for speculation than Mrs. Surratt's.
But he's purportedly hiding in Canada, and they've got her. Thus the prosecution's cat and mouse scheming clashes with motherly love in a conundrum worthy of Greek drama. The high stakes finagling is not lost on Mr. Aiken, tossed into this unwavering, steel-cold vice to do the bidding of those powers that be. It will prove the watershed in his life.
Even the Civil War didn't prepare counselor Aiken for the tough realities that often upset our apple cart of idealism. In fact, he thought that he fought the war to preserve what he saw as the American way. Mr. McAvoy's fine interpretation of the young lawyer's harsh revelations serves as a smart subtext to the tale. The poignant postscript speaks volumes.
Portrayed as Aiken's indomitable foil, keeping the ship of state afloat through the only patriotism he knows, Kevin Kline's Edwin Stanton superbly represents the intemperate tone of the times. Equally persuasive, Tom Wilkinson as senator and former Attorney General, Reverdy Johnson, perceptively embodies the judicial predicament.
Warning! Hawks and those who believe in shooting first and maybe asking questions later should note, this is from a champion of lost causes. Essentially a clinic in human rights, it isn't as much about Mrs. Surratt's innocence or guilt as it is about one's right to a fair trial. Truth is, "The Conspirator" is really a plot to preserve an endangered value.
"The Conspirator," rated PG-13, is a Roadside Attractions release directed by Robert Redford and stars Robin Wright Penn, James McAvoy and Tom Wilkinson. Running time: 123 minutes

I recently fell victim to a not so healthy caramel apple dip. It's advertised as "low-fat" and tastes great! But unfortunately the calories are 150 per tablespoon. For someone who slathers her apples in the dip, I need something that allows for a little more wiggle room in terms of calories. I probably have that one tablespoon after eating only two apple chunks. This would have been a diet disaster if I hadn't caught that on the nutrition label! Yikes!
A healthy alternative which I have been munching on is made with either non-fat yogurt or reduced-fat cottage cheese.
Take about 1/3 cup of either the yogurt or cottage cheese
Add 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar
Add cinnamon to taste. Also could add nutmeg if you like that extra flavor.
Now, I am not positive about what this equals in terms of calories per serving. I just stumbled across this recipe on a random website and decided to give it a whirl. I know for sure that even if the calories are similar to that of the caramel dip I am replacing, there are a ton of added health benefits that you get from eating the non-fat yogurt like calcium and protein. The same can be said for the reduced fat cottage cheese. Also, the light brown sugar is about 4 grams of sugar per tablespoon. So if you add two table spoons, that would be 8 grams of sugar. Still not too bad, especially if you don't eat the whole thing of dip at one time or all to yourself! Most yogurts that advertise having "fruit" in them also contain a ton of sugar anyways, so this is still not as much as you would be having otherwise.
Most importantly!! You are eating a healthy fruit full of fiber! Leave the skin on the apple for added nutrients. This is actually a filling snack and will keep you from munching on crap the rest of the day. I even eat this for dessert after dinner if I'm craving something sweet.

New Map of Antarctica's Lake Vostok Reveals Two Distinct Parts, With Possibly Differing Ecosystems
Deep in the Antarctic interior, buried under thousands of meters (more than two miles) of ice, lies Lake Vostok, the world's largest subglacial lake. Scientists believe that the waters of Lake Vostok have not been disturbed for hundreds of thousands of years, and there are tantalizing clues that microbes, isolated for at least as long, may exist.
Now, the most comprehensive measurements of the lake roughly the size of Lake Ontario in North America indicate that it is divided into two distinct basins that may have different water chemistry and biological characteristics. The findings have important implications for the diversity of any microbial life in Lake Vostok and for how scientists should study the lake's various ecosystems, if an international scientific consensus is ever reached to explore the lake.
Lake Vostok is thought to be a very good terrestrial analogue to the conditions on Europa, a moon of Jupiter thought to hold a large liquid ocean far beneath its frozen surface. Scientists have argued that if microbial life can exist in Vostok, then it also might thrive on Europa.
In a paper published June 19, 2004 in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union, scientists from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University and the University of Tokyo describe the first-ever map of water-depth in Lake Vostok.
Russia has long maintained a research station at Lake Vostok, and Russian scientists have previously probed the lake with seismic waves. But these soundings produced measurements of the water depth only at isolated points. The new measurements are significant because they provide a comprehensive picture of the entire lakebed and indicate that, contrary to what scientists had assumed, the bottom of the lake is not one continuous feature but contains a previously unknown northern sub-basin that is divided from the southern lakebed by a prominent ridge.
Michael Studinger of Lamont-Doherty, a principal author of the paper, said that the existence of two distinct regions within the lake would have significant implications for the kinds of ecosystems scientists could expect to find in the lake and how they should go about exploring them. "The ridge between the two basins will limit water exchange between the two systems," he said. "Consequently, the chemical and biological composition of these two ecosystems is likely to be different."
Using laser altimeter, ice-penetrating radar, and gravity measurements collected by aircraft flying over the lake, Studinger and Robin Bell of Lamont-Doherty and Anahita Tikku, then at the University of Tokyo, estimate that Lake Vostok contains roughly 5,400 cubic kilometers (1,300 cubic miles) of water.
Their measurements also indicate that the lake is divided into two distinct sub-basins separated by a narrow ridge. The water over that ridge is relatively shallow (200 meters or 650 feet deep), as compared to the rest of the lake, where the water ranges from roughly 400 meters (1,300 feet) deep in the northern basin to 800 meters (2,600 feet) deep in the southern. The National Science Foundation (NSF) supported the research.
The scientists conclude that the arrangement of the two basins, their separation, and the characteristics of the meltwater may all have implications for the circulation of water within the lake. For example, it is possible that if the water in the lake were fresh, the meltwater in the northern basin would sink to the bottom of that basin, limiting the exchange of waters between the two basins. The meltwater in the adjacent basin would likely be different. The two lake basins could therefore have very different bottoms and very different biological and chemical compositions.
Scientists involved in deciding whether and how to proceed with an exploration of Lake Vostok have stressed that a great deal of technological development would have to take place before a device could be deployed to conduct contamination-free sampling. Currently, there is no scientific sampling of the lake being carried out. The new measurements also indicate that different strategies would probably have to be developed depending on the types of lake sediments targeted. The ultimate goal of any sampling strategy would be to obtain water and sediment samples from the lake bottom.
The lake mapping would help to guide this scientific work. From the observed melting and freezing patterns of ice moving over Lake Vostok, it is evident that the northern basin would contain sediments of rock debris carried from land and deposited into the lake. The southern basin, where water is frozen back to the base of the ice sheet, would not have these same land deposits, but would more likely contain sediment deposits that recorded the environmental conditions before the ice sheet sealed off the lake.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Former Administrative Assistant Fired After Experiencing Stroke-Like Symptoms, Federal Agency Says
SAN ANTONIO - Dependable Health Services, Inc. (DHS), a San Antonio company which provides contract workers to U.S. military facilities, violated federal law when it fired an employee after she had an attack of Bell's palsy, a neurological disorder, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
According to the EEOC lawsuit against Dependable Health Services, Inc. (DHS), when the claimant returned to work after being hospitalized, her supervisor fired her because management officials because the company believed she had suffered a stroke and were concerned that she might experience another one on the job.
Firing an individual because of her disability, record of disability, or because the employer perceives a person as being disabled violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The EEOC's San Antonio Field office filed suit (Civil Action No. 5:12-cv-00846-XR) in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement through its conciliation process. The EEOC seeks back pay, compensatory damages and punitive damages for the victim, as well as injunctive relief.
"Firing an individual because of a disability or a misperception about a disability's effects violates the ADA," said EEOC Trial Attorney David Rivela. "It is unfortunate-and illegal--to fire someone simply because of an inaccurate perception about a medical impairment or disability."
EEOC Supervisory Trial Attorney Judith G. Taylor said, "Based on the doctor's notes which stated that the claimant could return to work, DHS should have returned this employee to work. Instead, the company allowed speculation and fears over her perceived disability to prevent this employee from returning to her job. This is exactly the type of discrimination the ADA was meant to address and stop."
In fiscal year 2011, private-sector workplace discrimination charge filings with the EEOC hit an unprecedented level of 99,947, which included a record-high number of disability charges (25,742).
According to company information, DHS is an SBA 8(a) Certified, Small Disadvantaged Business headquartered in San Antonio, with offices in Washington D.C., which provides contract workers to U.S. military facilities.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the Commission is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Gift of Life offers lifesaving imaging
The National Cancer Institute estimates that approximately 15,000 Texas women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year and nearly 6,000 women will lose their lives to this devastating disease. According to the National Cancer Institute, one in six women has a lifetime probability of developing pre-cancerous cells in the breast, and one in eight has a lifetime likelihood of developing invasive breast cancer (in which cancer impacts healthy cells).
The Gift of Life has an immediate availability of 100 additional free mammograms for medically underserved women. Screening events include the provision of educational material, healthy snacks and personal toiletries. Transportation and childcare (at van sites) are provided for those women who need it.
Screenings are made available at Baptist Hospital Beaumont and Orange campuses and on the UTMB mobile mammography van. The Gift of Life serves individuals throughout a seven-county area (Chambers, Hardin, Jasper, Jefferson, Newton, Orange and Tyler), focusing on underserved populations. The Gift of Life annually provides more than 2,300 free mammograms and clinical breast exams, with more than 24,000 screenings having been made available since the organization's inception.
During the past two and a half years, 36 medically underserved women have been diagnosed with breast cancer and given treatment and provided support. Screening mammograms are widely accepted as the most effective means currently available to reduce breast cancer deaths, as they can often detect breast cancer at an early stage, when treatment is more effective and a cure is more likely.
For American women of every ethnic background, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer, and it is the second most prevalent cause of cancer death.
To find out if you quality for a free screening, call (409) 833-3663.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is the director of the Rose Center at the American Museum of Natural History and the host of Nova scienceNow, now in its fifth season. He also sat on the National Academy of Sciences Committee, the NASA Advisory Council, the Commission on the Implementation of United States Space Exploration Policy and the selection committee for the Presidential Medal of Science under George W. Bush.
Tyson talked with The Root in a wide-ranging interview that covered not only the upcoming season of Nova scienceNow but also the latest scientific discoveries and the politics of dealing with the government.
The Root: What's new on Nova scienceNow?
Neil deGrasse Tyson: What's different is each show will be addressing a single theme from different angles. "Can We Get to Mars?" is the first show. It talks about if we can get there by propulsion, space suits, food, radiation or meteor impacts. Then, "How Smart Are Animals?" In that one we look at how smart dogs are — wolves, canines. I spent some scary and fascinating time with wolves. Wolves are not dogs! We chose them to live with us — we chose the ones who wouldn't eat us and bred them into dogs. Another theme is "Can We Live Forever?"
TR: No. I already know the answer to that one. No.
NDT: [Laughing.] We're working on it! OK, can we live much, much longer? We think of cybernetics — artificial materials substituting for human parts — but there are ways we might grow human organs using human tissues. That way we don't risk organ rejection or rejection of foreign things inside your body. It's way beyond stem cells.
TR: What's been the best scientific discovery in the last 20 years?
NDT: Dark energy. It's a mysterious pressure in the universe that makes us expand faster than gravity should allow. And we call it dark energy because we have no right to call it anything in particular. You can call it Fred. It was discovered in 1998, and it's the opposite of gravity.
Another question is, "Where did we come from? What's the origin of the solar system and life on Earth?"
TR: Mars, maybe?
NDT: Not far-fetched. Maybe if a meteor hit Mars and sent up fragments with nooks and crannies with bacteria that lived in there and reached Earth eventually — over 10 million years. Bacteria can survive all kinds of insults to their ecosystems and environments.
TR: What do you think of Obama's space policy?
NDT: I heard the speech he gave at Kennedy Space Center, and it felt like Kennedy saying, "Let's go to the moon." But he said, "Let's go to Mars." It was a great speech! But he's going to phase out the shuttle, and all these people are worried, saying, "Obama, don't kill the space program!" So people are skeptical about whether he was serious [about us going] to Mars after a period of no access to space. I'm finishing up a book called Failure to Launch: The Dreams and Delusions of Space Enthusiasts.
TR: That's a depressing title!
NDT: It is depressing! But we've got to know what the fears and delusions are. NASA does science on the side. It's in the interest of geopolitics, and you think you manage it by budgeting. It's no good if you say something is great if you don't pay for it. If you look at NASA's budget, [there's] never been more than 32 percent going to science.
I had three terms under George [W.] Bush's commissions for aerospace. It was stereotyped that the administration wasn't science-friendly. In every case, people will list one of three things: the environment, stem cells, global warming. Yes, Bush had a relationship with big oil and the Christian right, so I'm not even surprised that he was obstructive in those three areas, but that's not all. The budget for NASA and NIH went up, sometimes by a factor of two or three.
Washington is about politics. The politicians are not the problem. That is the currency — politics. In other walks of life, people view politics as keeping them from what they want to do: "I would like my job if not for the politics." Can you see politicians in Washington saying that?!
Another stereotype of Republicans is that they're not inclusive or supportive of black causes. I'm with you on that, but there are a couple of acts you can't sweep under the rug. I'm a registered Democrat, but I'm a fan of clear thinking. The Republican Party was invented as the anti-slavery party, and Lincoln was the anti-slavery candidate!
And look at Justice [Clarence] Thomas. George H.W. Bush appoints him and people complain. Like you can choose only from one column. George W. Bush's national security adviser and secretary of state were black. Colin Powell as secretary of state was the highest-ranking black there ever was up to that time. That gets forgotten.
TR: Who names asteroids?
NDT: The person who discovers the asteroid. I have one named after me in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They can be named after anything as long as the name's not already used and it's not obscene. And it can't be politically motivated, even though Herschel named the planet Uranus after George III.
TR: Yeah, the French weren't having any of that! By the way, one last thing: What about Star Trek's omega particle?
NDT: I think it's a bad particle. It's just a science-fiction writer's idea that the discovery of something will end civilization.

If you've ever been part of a startup, then you know how much hard work it involves. And you usually don't have enough people to get all the work done!
That's why entrepreneurs are always looking for ways to cut down on distractions and work faster and smarter. The following is a list of eleven productivity tools that can help you be more productive and efficient with your time.
Productivity Tool #1 TaskRabbit
One thing that is really great about TaskRabbit is you can find anybody to do anything. So often the people who work for a startup or small business tend to do lots of different things. They might code, do some networking and then put a desk together.
But startups are so starved for time that lots of things don't get done and sometimes more profitable tasks don't get the time and attention they deserve.
With TaskRabbit you can hire someone to move boxes, research a proposal, design a logo or run and grab lunch and dinner for your team every day. It's even great for personal stuff, so if you're like me and work 80 hours a week, it's great to have somebody else do your laundry or grocery shopping.
Productivity Tool #2 Batchbook
Batchbook is a great cloud-based contact management for sales and social media. It allows you to keep track of your communications, create contact lists, manage to-do lists, and using the Super Tags feature you can customize your data for reports and research.
On the sales side of things, you can see all your sales, even the closed deals. I personally like how beside each contact I can see their social media activity. It allows you an opportunity to jump in and contribute to a discussion, possibly picking up some business along the way. BatchBook integrates nicely with Google Contacts, Mail Chimp and FreshBooks.
Productivity Tool #3 MailChimp
Staying connected with your prospects and customers is so important for a startup, but it can also be very time-consuming since there is a lot that goes into proper communication.
MailChimp helps you create email newsletters that look professional and don't cost a fortune. It's got everything you could think of in one place.
You can choose from templates and design the look of the email using your own logo and colors, send it with a few clicks of your mouse, integrate it with your social networks and track your results!
I recommend you set up an autoresponder email series so you can automate the early stages of email communication. The A/B testing feature is great for finding that message that really connects with your readers.
Productivity Tool #4 DropBox
Ever been out to a business meeting and wish you had that one document, photo or video that would really get across your point? Well, with DropBox you'll never be without the information you need because you can access it anywhere.
You start off by downloading the DropBox desktop app and start storing important content in it. Then you'll want to get the free phone app, which is available on all phones. Now you've got your information with you at all times, no matter where you are traveling.
The free service has up to 2 gigabytes, so if you think you'll need more than that you may want to upgrade to the paid level.
Productivity Tool #5 Yammer
If you want a communication tool for your startup, Yammer is a great tool to use. It's basically a private microblogging tool like Twitter that only your company sees and uses. By adding names and email addresses you can even invite partners outside of your company to join.
It's a secure network that also archives all of the conversations. That's a great feature since people can then search that archive to see if someone else might have answered their question.
It's also great for project teams, so if you're a writer and you're working with a designer and a coder, you three can create a private discussion area. And just like Twitter, you can send private, direct messages. Fast communication is a great time saver!
Productivity Tool #6 Jing
I really like Jing because it cuts out unnecessary phone calls and emails by showing people exactly what you are seeing, even if you are thousands of miles apart.
The way Jing works is as a desktop app that allows you to capture your screen as an image, crop it to the way you like it and then send it someone else. You can draw arrows and make notes on the images, too.
This is great if you are collaborating with someone because you can send them a picture of a website to help explain an idea. Jing even lets you create a video, which allows you to explain to someone how to do something. Maybe it's a customer who is having trouble signing in to his account. You can take a video of you doing it on your screen and then send it to him or her.
Everything you create can be stored on your computer, online at screencast.com, a clipboard, FTP server or Flikr.
Productivity Tool #7 Google Docs
Google Docs makes collaborating with another person or a team on a document or spreadsheet super easy. No more back and forth with emails and multiple documents that only leads to confusion.
Once you create a document, all you have to do is invite everyone you want to see the document, which is really easy to do inside Google Docs. There are two different levels of permission: viewing or editing.
When you have a document open you can see who is viewing it and then look at the revision history to see track changes to the document.
The most current version is always the most up to date, but if there is a version in the history you prefer, you can choose that version and Google Docs automatically makes that the current version.
Productivity Tool #8 Square
For some small businesses like mobile food trucks or tattoo artists, taking payment by credit card can be hard and expensive, but with Square you can take and make payments anywhere. It even accepts American Express.
The nice thing about this tool is that everything is tracked electronically, so you don't have to enter data, saving you time.
It keeps track of your sales and your expenses. When you take a payment it always stores an electronic receipt.
There is also a feature that allows you to calculate taxes and even allow a customer to add a tip. It works for iPhones, iPads and Androids.
Productivity Tool #9 Rescue Time
I do not know where I would be without Rescue Time! It easily saves me four to five hours every week because it just helps me focus on tasks that I need to get done and helps me avoid those distractions that come at me all the time.
The cool thing about Rescue Time is that it tracks all your activities. So if I'm working through my inbox and then jump on Facebook to answer a couple of questions and then move to review a proposal and finish out the morning writing a blog post, Rescue Time keeps tabs on what I'm doing. I don't have to enter any data. Ever.
Then I can look at the reports and see if I'm using my time wisely. And if I move away from my desk I can tell Rescue Time to track my activity as a phone call or meeting or tell it to stop tracking.
The feature I like most is called Focus. You tell it how much time you want to spend on a task and then it starts to count down the time. It will even block certain sites that you choose to block during this time in case you are tempted to check your email or Google+ account.
Productivity Tool #10 Evernote
If you're the kind of person who is constantly collecting ideas from online, people you talk to and things you see, then Evernote is perfect for you.
It's got an iPhone and Android app that allows you to sync your notes with your cloud account and desktop app with one click.
You can save entire web pages or just a sentence or paragraph, type in random thoughts or record ideas with the audio recording feature, then share these ideas with friends or co-workers. John Henshaw wrote an in-depth post on all of Evernote's features. I recommend reading it!
Productivity Tool #11 FreshBooks
Bookkeeping can be one of the most time-consuming and least fun parts of running a business. But it has to be done! Enter FreshBooks.
This tool organizes all your accounts, like bank, credit card or PayPal, into one place, keeps tabs on your sales and expenses and updates your profit and loss number so you know where you stand at all times.
If you like to dig into reports, FreshBooks lets you do that, too, with a handful of really easy to understand graphs and reports. It also helps you stay on top of estimated quarterly taxes, which can be difficult to remember and painful if you don't pay on time.
Starting a business is hard work and takes a ton of time. Anyway you can figure out how to be more productive so you can focus on the profitable tasks will help you grow!
I hope these tools help you do just that. What productivity tools do you use to help your startup work faster and smarter?

November 12, 2012
Growing up, my dad owned an old-school steak joint where I used to feast on prime rib and french onion soup. Have you ever seen an 8-year-old girl bust in on a busy restaurant kitchen to order her own full-sized prime rib? Lets just say that I was a food force to be reckoned with, even back then.
Something about those early experiences with the rich, umami flavors that mark a good steakhouse left an impression on my palate. One that even 8 years of vegetarianism couldn't erase. (The day I stopped being vegetarian, I ate roast lamb for dinner!) While I try to eat meat only 3-4 times a week now, I love it. Steak especially. I also love caramelized onions. With my steak especially. But also without, like in this onion dip.
Even though my grandmother cooked all the time and my dad owned restaurants, my family had its fair share of processed food moments. And I accepted them, even took to a few like a fish to water. (May I never be tempted with a box of Froot Loops, may I never be tempted with a box of Froot Loops, may I never be tempted with a box of Froot Loops.) But a packet of soup mix to make onion dip was never one of my vices. No way. The flavor of that stuff never measured up the rich, silky taste of dip made with real caramelized onions, the kind tangled in my favorite soup or served alongside prime rib. I knew that even as an 8-year-old food lover in the making.
So whenever I want dip, I want onion dip. Real onion dip. And you should, too. The good news is that it's easy to make. You don't need a million ingredients. Just five. You can get fancy and add fresh thyme or green onion, mayo or celery salt, but it's really not necessary. Plus, the simpler this is, the better.
Bookmark this recipe for the holidays—it's a super easy crowd-pleaser. It also makes eating vegetables more fun. Kiddo might appreciate that. And what kid mastering finger foods doesn't want a dip to go with their bites?! An all-around winner, this onion dip. Enjoy.
Caramelized Onion Dip
(can be shared with kids 12+ mos)*
1 1/2 large onions
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon butter
Salt, to taste
Splash red wine vinegar
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 8-ounce container reduced fat sour cream
1/4 cup softened cream cheese
Dash Tabasco sauce
Dash worcestershire sauce
1. Caramelize onions: Peel and cut onions. I prefer thinly sliced onions for this dip. If you'd rather not have "stringy" onions, opt for a fine chop. Heat oil and butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add onions and season generously with salt. Cook, stirring only occasionally, until the onions become translucent and gradually turn golden brown. Stir more frequently, but not constantly, to prevent burning as the onions darken. Once they turn a deep brown color and have a rich flavor, about 30 minutes into cooking, add a splash of vinegar to deglaze the pan. Scrape bits from the bottom on the pan. The onions are done when the vinegar has cooked off. Season to taste with black pepper and allow to cool.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream and cream cheese. Once smooth, stir in caramelized onions. Add salt, pepper, Tabasco and worcestershire to taste. Refrigerate until cool and serve with veggies, chips, toast points… whatever!
*Note: While there is nothing in this that is unsafe for younger kids, I recommend this starting at 12 months since it has little nutritional value and is usually served with empty snack food. That said, it's a fun treat, especially served with veggies, for any kid, especially those learning to manage finger foods.

Fast food workers know everything that goes on in the kitchen, so when a worker recommends a dish, you better believe it's good.
A recent Reddit thread asked the industry's employees: what's the best thing on your restaurant's menu that nobody ever orders?
Current and former workers offered up their opinions, and it seems there are plenty of hidden gems to be found.
From Asian fusion at Jack In The Box to a secret milkshake at McDonald's, check out their favorites.
