Do not, do not, make offers that you don't intend to honour based on the assumption that nobody could possibly hog that many of your company's resources and products.
A case in point: An offer of "unlimited" cloud storage. An offer which Microsoft's 'droids made for OneDrive users when they subscribe to Office 365, because hey, "Unlimited", it's a great selling word, right, right?? (OneDrive is formerly SkyDrive, but it had to be renamed because far too many individual judges and large chunks of the alleged "justice" system frequently tend to be pathological in their stupidity, but I digress.)
"Unlimited" is a pretty unambiguous word. Microsoft apparently used it assuming that no users, anywhere, ever, either would or could stick their snouts that far down in the trough.
No matter what offer a company makes, then unless reasonableness limits are placed on it there will always be some Homer J Simpson, somewhere, who will take you at your buzz-generating word and suck down your resources like there is no tomorrow.
Which Microsoft has just discovered to its shock and surprise.
And as a result of this, OneDrive users the world over are getting screwed, to a greater or lesser extent.Since we started to roll out unlimited cloud storage to Office 365 consumer subscribers, a small number of users backed up numerous PCs and stored entire movie collections and DVR recordings. In some instances, this exceeded 75 TB per user or 14,000 times the average. Instead of focusing on extreme backup scenarios, we want to remain focused on delivering high-value productivity and collaboration experiences that benefit the majority of OneDrive users.
This isn't a wholly unreasonable deal, especially as with an Office 365 Home subscription as I have it is effectively 1TB per person for each of the 5 licences. But the thing is this... it's not a wholly unreasonable deal if that's the deal that you signed on for in the first place.We're no longer planning to offer unlimited storage to Office 365 Home, Personal, or University subscribers. Starting now, those subscriptions will include 1 TB of OneDrive storage.
Hmm. 50 whole gig, you say? My photos folder is 614 gigabytes. So if I wanted to archive that in the raw I'd need 13 lots of 50 gig (and I would have to manually tweak the amount as I took more and more shots, and in the meantime I'd be paying for space that I'm not using) * 12 months = 310 bucks per year.100 GB and 200 GB paid plans are going away as an option for new users and will be replaced with a 50 GB plan for $1.99 per month in early 2016.
I was going to compare this unfavourably with Amazon's offering which is cents per gigabyte but that appears to be its commercial offering. It has a retail offering as well which offers unlimited photos plus 5 gig of videos and other files for $11.99 per year. Hmmm, tough call, would I rather pay $310 or just $12?
They also have "unlimited everything" for $59.99 per year. I would sense that Amazon would rue the day that they made that offer, but it does have "non-commercial use only" in the terms of use. Even so, there will still be the video backupers who may abuse the privilege. And if Amazon drops the boom on them they may fall foul of the consumer authorities for using the word "unlimited". We shall see.
But wait, there's still some free storage, right? Indeed. Let's go back to the future:
Meanwhile, Google Drive still offers 15 gig, which is more realistic in this day and age. I checked my own OneDrive folder and found it to be 5.26Gig, though I'll admit that it does need a cleanout and in any case I still have 1TB from Office 365.Free OneDrive storage will decrease from 15 GB to 5 GB for all users, current and new. The 15 GB camera roll storage bonus will also be discontinued. These changes will start rolling out in early 2016.
So between Google's offering and Amazon's offering, and making an offer that it should have been blindingly obvious[1] would be rabidly abused by some and which Microsoft therefore never meant to honour... Microsoft would appear to have shot itself in the foot. And not just with a pistol, no no, I'm talking about loading up a Napoleonic era cannon, loading it with canister shot, and sticking their collective foot in front of it. Because it is one thing to endure the embarrassment of having to admit that your offer wasn't real. (Again, "unlimited" is a word that leaves little to the imagination.) But it is quite another to then not only fail to improve your services, but rather reduce them and hike up the charges for them. All in all, it's not a good look.
So, Microsoft, the next time a creative type suggests making an unsustainable offer, I suggest... a Nerf ball. Squarely between the eyes. Or use any substitute material that may be to hand.
And then get someone who understands what your competitors are doing.
[1] Blindingly obvious to anyone who doesn't have a goatee beard, their hair in a ponytail, and the label "Hi, I'm The Creative Talent" written in crayon and pinned to their Calvin Klein T-Shirt, anyway.

Female journalists' presence in media on decline: Survey
Female journalists' presence in media on decline: Survey
KABUL (Pajhwok): A new survey released on Monday said the presence of women journalists in Afghanistan has decreased due to insecurity.
Conducted by the Center for the Protection of Afghan Women Journalist (CPAWJ), the survey was presented at an event attended by officials of Independent Afghanistan Human Rights Commission (IAHRC), Ministry of Information and Culture, and head of the Reporters without Borders.
The survey shows the number of female journalists decreased in the country in recent years, particularly in the past two years.
The report says insecurity was cited as main reason preventing women from joining the field. Female journalists face more security threats and harassment at workplace than their male colleagues.
CPAWJ conducted interviews with 74 local media outlets across the country, including 29 TV channels, 35 radio stations, four news agencies, six printing media and four journalists supporting groups.
A total of 1037 women work in media outlets and 474 of them are professional, the source said, adding Kabul, Herat and Balkh provinces are main hubs of journalists.
The report says most of female journalists (150) work with the Moby Group, 140 with the National Radio and Television, 55 with Aryana Network, 54 with Zan TV, 50 with Bano Radio and Television, 40 with Killid Group, 40 with Shamshad Radio and Television and 38 with Khurshid Television.
Lack of official statistics remains a major problem in Afghanistan, the source said.
"The official data on women journalists in the country helps with knowing their exact number and it is also considered as the first step towards recognizing problems women face at workplace and in the society." CPAWJ said.
Farida Nekzad, CPAWJ head, said: "So far no data on the number of women journalists and those work with media outlets in Afghanistan has been officially released by any government sources. CAPWJ tried to provide and release accurate data on the number of women journalists through various channels."
"We know the given data is not complete and it is a minor step towards this goal and hereby we request all journalists and institutes that work for the support of journalists to help complete this data," she added.
Sima Samar, AIHRC head, said spreading information was the role of media that make positive changes in a society. The media should avoid publishing information that created tensions and disruption, she added.
"The media role is very important for ending violence. Signing peace agreements would not help until media provides accurate information to the public," she said.
About violence against women journalists, she said, "Women who face harassment including sexual cannot provide proper information, the culture of violence against journalists should end."

VANCOUVER — It turns out, you can't create a legacy in a day. But you can make history.
Roberto Luongo was clenching it Sunday, the gold medal in Olympic men's hockey draped over his heart. It symbolized fulfilment and relief — and erased a crushing goal surrendered to Zach Parise 25 seconds left in regulation, tying a game Canada spent the whole third period trying not to lose.
Sidney Crosby penned the story book ending, scoring the winning goal in overtime as Canada beat the U.S. on the final day of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.
"The feeling that goes through your body when Sid scored like that, it's unreal," Luongo said.
Is it enough, however, to cut through the cloud of doubt that has followed Luongo since May?
"You guys can be the judge of that," he said. "But I got a gold medal around my neck and nobody can take that away from me."
And it was earned.
The legacy stuff might have to wait, but Luongo nonetheless arrived as a big-game goalie in a game that will be remembered for generations. He made 32 saves with 33 million people on his back.
It was overwhelming. Fighting back tears, he couldn't help but think of what it meant to him to make history.
"Right now, there is so many thoughts going through my head," he said. "Thinking about so many people that helped me out along the way and it's just a great feeling.
"I worked hard my whole life for something like this and it's nice to get rewarded."
There wasn't much room for error Sunday.
With tournament MVP Ryan Miller tending goal for the U.S., Luongo had to be, at least, his equal.
And he was.
His stop on a Ryan Malone backhander from the slot allowed Canada's Jonathan Toews to score the pivotal first goal. On his final save of the game, Luongo threw an elbow out to block a shot from a spinning Joe Pavelski in overtime, moments before Crosby clinched it.
Was there any doubt? Sure there was, and Luongo heard about it all week and all game. Team USA was in his ear — including U.S. centre Ryan Kesler, Luongo's Vancouver Canucks teammate, who scored the Americans' first goal and then told anyone who'd listen he thought Luongo was "fighting the puck" all game.
"I'm wearing gold," Luongo said after the game. "I really don't care what they think. Are you kidding me?"
Luongo made sure to salute his fans during the medal ceremony. It was those fans, he said, who helped him get through the tough times this week.
For Team Canada, replacing Martin Brodeur in goal with Luongo wasn't the easiest decision, but it was the right one.
It may not have felt that way when Parise scored to tie the game 2-2. Maybe Luongo didn't make the huge save at that moment, but it wasn't all on him. Patrick Kane took the shot. It got caught up in Jamie Langenbrunner's skate and the rebound went right to Parise, who put it in from the goalmouth untouched by a defenceman.
"It was disappointing. I thought we were so close to getting it there," Luongo said.
But with his dream — and that of Team Canada — seemingly slipping away, Luongo refocused himself.
"I had to pay them a little bit back," Luongo said of his on-ice salute. "They've been supporting me these two weeks. Obviously, they've been tremendously loud every time I touched the puck."
Being home meant something, he said. It gave him comfort. If there was any doubt about Luongo's place in Vancouver, it's gone now. This is home. This is his city, and he is this city's star.
"This medal is not only for myself, but it's for Canada and the people of Vancouver and the fans who have supported me since the first day I got here," Luongo said.

In Sri Lanka, three elephants are killed every week as a result of human-elephant conflict, leaving behind defenceless orphans. To address this, IUCN State Member The Department of Wildlife Conservation has launched a novel foster parent scheme, where contributions from donors are used to shelter helpless young elephants in a transit home until they have reached an appropriate age to be released into the wild.
Elephas maximus maximus is a one of the subspecies of Asian elephant confined to Sri Lanka and has been officially identified as an endangered species. Find out more about Asian elephants on the IUCN Red List website.
The Department of Wildlife Conservation launched their foster parent scheme to build on their successful Elephant Transit Home project established in 1995, which rehabilitates orphaned baby elephants. Human-elephant conflict and various illegal human activities often cause female elephants to orphan their babies, and some of these then become wounded. The majority of these orphaned babies require immediate veterinary care if they are to survive. When they are physically strong enough they are then taken to the Elephant Transit Home (ETH).
The Elephant Transit Home is a veterinary hospital complex and wild animal rehabilitation centre managed by the Department of Wildlife Conservation. It is located in a corner of the Udawalawe National Park in the Sabaragamuwa Province. As the baby elephants are being rehabilitated for introduction into the wild, the centre aims to maintain as little human contact as possible. An observation platform has been built to allow the general public to observe the elephants without disturbing them.
The baby elephants are provided sufficient water for both drinking and playing, which is important factor in reducing stress. The babies are able to graze freely during the day and there is a feeding programme scheduled at 3 hour intervals where they receive specially formulated milk. Maintenance work and the cost of milk are major expenses and the centre is grateful to the national and international wildlife enthusiasts who have donated support for the infrastructure and building work. Additional support for maintenance costs is sought through the foster parent scheme.
Rehabilitation takes place when the elephants are 4-5 years old. They are released back into protected areas to become acclimatised to their new habitats and become self-sufficient. The elephants also wear collars to monitor their movements and behavioural patterns. Rehabilitation success depends on integration with wild herds.
For more information about how to get involved in the foster parent scheme, please contact Mr. W.A.D.A.Wijesooriya, Director General, Department of Wildlife Conservation, Government of Sri Lanka via the contacts on their website or via the IUCN Sri Lanka Office.

In Tight Race, Obama Pulls Ahead in Virginia Battleground
A new poll shows Obama pulling ahead of McCain in conservative strongholds.
Sept. 22, 2008 -- Virginia, a traditionally conservative state, has become a key battleground, with 13 electoral votes at stake in the election. A Democrat has not carried the state of Virginia since 1964, and few have seriously competed in Virginia -- until Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.
Victoria McCullough, regional field director of the Obama campaign, is part of Obama's small army that seeks to sway undecided voters in local neighborhoods.
"This is a fantastic crowd for a Sunday afternoon," McCullough said, impressed at the turnout for the recent event in Williamsburg, Va. "This looks great."
Working with Obama's campaign, Emily Pease is her local neighborhood leader. Through Obama's campaign Web site, she maps out neighbors in her area who are still on the fence.
"I see close friends [on the map], but then I see all these people I don't know," Pease said. "It tells me who our neighbors are."
Neighbors are the key to the Obama campaign's strategy in Virginia, what they call their "persuasion army." Their plan focuses on personal initiatives in the neighborhood, such as backyard barbeques, that they believe may win more voters than a TV ad.
"They see each other at the grocery store. They see each other at church," said Mitch Stewart, Obama's campaign director in Virginia. "They know and trust each other."
Obama's decision to compete in the state of Virginia is a testament to the changing political tides. A population boom in the more moderate Washington, D.C., suburbs has shifted the state demographic. The state has elected two Democratic governors -- former Gov. Mark Warner and Gov. Tim Kaine, who catapulted into the spotlight as a potential vice presidential running mate for Barack Obama, as well as a Democratic senator, Jim Webb, in the last six years.
A new ABC News poll out on Monday finds that Obama is gaining ground across the state, even in once-Republican strongholds; Obama holds a narrow three-point lead over Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
More than demographic changes, Obama's lead comes from economic concerns about the economy -- an area that 52 percent of voters defined as their most important issue, and an area where Obama holds an advantage over McCain.
In areas traditionally conservative -- such as eastern Virginia, where President Bush won by 15 points in 2004 -- Obama trails by just five points. In the western part of the state, dominated by coal production, where Bush won by 24 points, McCain leads only by 18.
In the Democratic base of hi-tech and hi-salaried northern Virginia, Obama is doing seven points better than John Kerry did in 2004.
But the southeast of the state, above all, is swing country. Towns like Norfolk and Virginia Beach both have large military communities and a high concentration of African Americans. In this highly contested area, Bush won by three points in 2004; now, Obama leads by five.
But organization only goes so far in a state that Bush won by nine points in 2004.
"This helps Obama make up a couple of those points," said Larry Sabato, professor and director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. "But he's going to have to make up the remainder based on issues, trends, 2008."
Republicans in Virginia Beach say Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has given a boost to their organization in terms of enthusiasm and support.
"We are getting gobs of people who have never worked on a political campaign before," said Cindy Rhodes, McCain's volunteer coordinator in the area.
The McCain camp is also using technology, Internet VoIP phones, to their advantage.
"As our volunteers are making the phone calls, they are entering the respondents' answers, and that data is uploaded in real time," Rhodes said.
Over the next few weeks, as both campaigns enter the home stretch, volunteers and staffers will be knocking on thousands of doors every weekend, attempting to score each and every undecided voter.

Who are they?
Seemingly calm, reserved and of rather phlegmatic character, Eras and Coskun can often appear distant or aloof. However the truth is that they are simple men who are actually quite shy and modest. They lack confidence in their abilities and seek to protect themselves first and foremost, however once they feel at ease they tend to relax and open up. Decidedly, we are in the presence of honest, reliable and conscientious individuals of fine moral character, and while they are patient, stable, disciplined, determined and perseverant; they are also anxious, uncertain and inclined to doubt and pessimism... They are introverts who don´t mind solitude and prefer one or two genuine relationships to several superficial ones, only really interested in that which is real and profound. If you count yourself among their friends then it is because they esteem that you are worthy of their trust... Not particularly spontaneous or demonstrative, they are nonetheless sensitive souls who will always be available if you need them. Proud and conceited, they manage to get by just fine by themselves thank-you-very-much, and they generally lose a lot of time this way. Nevertheless, patience is one of their virtues and they win in the long term because their success - however long it takes - is all the more satisfying since it is achieved through their merit alone... Rational, practical and pragmatic, Eras and Coskun have their feet firmly planted on the ground and rely on logic and reason in their judgement, and although they are occasionally given to flights of fantasy they come back down to earth quickly enough... Hardworking, organized, reliable and thrifty, they can reveal themselves to be real perfectionists. As children, they are often a little too well-behaved and sensible and are capable of disregarding their own needs and desires in an effort to please their parents. Their sense of duty is often well developed, so it is pointless and indeed counterproductive to use excessive discipline which will only reinforce the inhibitions of these already scrupulous small people... They like to play, but in a calm and collected fashion, enjoying games such as Lego, Meccano, chess or computer games and avoiding boisterous activities and sport. They appreciate solitude and can be extremely possessive with their personal belongings, which they don´t like to share.
What do they like?
Nature-loving, Eras and Coskun appreciate simplicity and all that is natural and genuine while they loathe deceit and insincerity. They seek security above all, and if that means accepting a certain amount of monotony and routine in their lives, well that´s just the way it goes. They would quite like to live in the countryside far away from the hustle and bustle where they would enjoy a life of simple pleasures such as watching their garden grow... Their romantic lives are not always easy thanks to their overly reserved nature; spontaneity, imagination and demonstrations of affection not being their strong points, however they are reliable and fiercely loyal - and expect their partner to possess the same qualities, being men of morality and principles.

What do they do?
They are particularly likely to be attracted to the medical and paramedical fields, occupations in connection with law, justice and magistracy... However they equally seek security and aren´t indifferent to a career that assures such peace of mind, as a civil servant for example. They could equally find satisfaction through a career in relation to the earth, flowers, nature, animals or catering...

How to edit a configuration file
To customize a Splunk instance to meet your specific needs, you can edit the built-in configuration settings.
- Only users with file system access, such as system administrators, can edit Splunk Enterprise configuration files.
- Before you edit a configuration file, be sure you understand how the entire configuration system works across your Splunk Enterprise deployment and where to make the changes.
- The following table describes what you need to know and where to find that information:
You need to know Learn more You can have configuration files with the same name in your default, local, and app directories. This creates a layering effect that allows your Splunk deployment to determine configuration priorities.
Before you edit a configuration file, you need to know where to create the custom version of the configuration file.
See Configuration file directories. Configuration files consist of stanzas. Each stanza identifies settings that specify the Splunk Enterprise configuration.
Before you edit a configuration file, you need to understand how the file's stanzas are structured.
See Configuration file structure. Splunk software uses configuration files to set defaults and limitations. A Splunk platform deployment can have multiple copies of the same configuration file in different directories. The ways these copies are layered in the directories affect either the user, an app, or the system as a whole.
When you are editing a configuration file, you need to understand how Splunk software evaluates the files in order of importance.
See Configuration file precedence.
Customize a configuration file
To customize a configuration file, create a new file with the same name in a
local or
app directory. You will then add the specific settings that you want to customize to the local configuration file.
Never change or copy the configuration files in the default directory. The files in the default directory must remain intact and in their original location. The Splunk Enterprise upgrade process overwrites the default directory. Any changes that you make in the default directory are lost on upgrade. Changes that you make in non-default configuration directories, such as $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local or $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/
- Determine whether the configuration file already exists in your preferred directory. For example, if you want to make changes to a configuration file in your
localdirectory, open the
- If the configuration file does not exist in your preferred directory, create the file. You are creating an empty file.
- Edit the configuration file in the preferred directory and add only the stanzas and settings that you want to customize in the local file.
Clear a setting
You can clear a setting to override any previous value that the setting held, including the value set in the
default directory. Clearing a setting causes the system to consider the value entirely unset.
You clear a setting by changing its value to null.
For example, suppose you want to clear the
forwardedindex.0.whitelist setting in the
output.conf file that is in your
local directory. You would follow these steps to clear the setting:
- Open the
outputs.conffile in your
- Find the
forwardedindex.0.whitelistsetting and change the value to null. For example:
forwardedindex.0.whitelist =
- Save the
Because the settings in the
local directory take precedence over the settings in the
default directory, when the Splunk software reads the settings, the null setting for
forwardedindex.0.whitelist is used.
Insert a comment
When you customize a setting, it is useful to explain why the setting has been customized. Adding comments to configuration files in your
local or
apps directory is a great way to add these explanations, both for you and for others who might view these files.
To add a comment to a configuration file, insert the pound sign ( # ) before the comment. Start the comment at the beginning of a line.
The best location to put your comment is either before the stanza that setting is under, or before the setting itself. For example:
# This stanza forwards some log files. [monitor:///var/log]
If you have multiple settings in a stanza, then add the comments before each setting. Consider including a date in your comment or placing your comments in all capital letters. For example:
[stanza_name] # 1/30/2020 - 5 is optimal for our current configuration. # This was discussed with both David Mayer and Wei Zhang. a_setting = 5 # 9/15/2019 - WE'VE CHANGED THIS SETTING TO "TRUE" BECAUSE IT ENABLES US TO <your_reason_goes_here>. b_setting = true
Where not to put your comments
Do not put the comment on the same line as the stanza or the setting.
This example shows where not to place your comments.
[monitor:///var/log] # This is a really bad place to put your comment. a_setting = 5 # This is a bad place too.
Placing comments on the same line as a stanza or setting might cause unexpected results. In the following example, the comment is placed on the same line as the setting:
a_setting = 5 #5 is the best number
This sets
a_setting to the value
5 #5 is the best number and not to
5 as intended.
Creating and editing configuration files on Windows and other non-UTF-8 operating systems
The Splunk platform works with configuration files with ASCII/UTF-8 encoding.
On operating systems where UTF-8 is not the default character set, such as Windows, configure your text editor to write files in the default character set for that operating system.

Education is key to fulfilling Dr. King's dream, says NEA president
Van Roekel urges constructive dialogue and solutions to transform education for all students
WASHINGTON - January 17, 2011 -
This marks the 25th year that the nation will celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as a federal holiday. The holiday was first observed in 1986, and in 1994, Congress designated the day as a national day of service. President Barack Obama has called on Americans to observe Dr. King's birthday by working together to solve the nation's most pressing problems. The following statement can be attributed to NEA President Dennis Van Roekel:
"Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life to working for a more just and equal society. We've made progress on many fronts since he inspired us with his vision, but there is still much to be done to make his dream a reality. We know that education is a great equalizer. I can think of no better way to honor this great man's life and ideals than by coming together—and working together—to improve the quality of education for all children in America.
"Recently, I read an article that a young Martin Luther King wrote as a student at Morehouse College in Atlanta. The article, entitled 'The Purpose of Education,' was published in the college's newspaper in 1948. 'Education,' he wrote, 'must enable a man to become more efficient, to achieve with increasing facility the legitimate goals of his life. The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically.'
"Intelligence is not enough, he told us. 'Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education. The complete education gives one not only power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate.'
"Educators today continue to be inspired and challenged by Dr. King's words and life. We teach students tolerance and understanding along with 21st century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration and problem solving. Our goal is to help all students reach their full potential.
"As we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we renew our commitment to creating great public schools for all students. Quality public education must remain a priority for America. There is no better way to honor Dr. King than to work together to ensure that every student in America, regardless of race or background, has access to the great equalizer—a quality education."

The fancy-pants showdown is now official.
Lightweight contender Lyle
Beerbohm (16-1 MMA, 5-1 SF) vs. DREAM champion Shinya Aoki (26-5 MMA, 0-1 SF) is now official for "Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley," which
takes place April 9.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) passed along news of the bout earlier this week, and Showtime and Strikeforce executives today made it official.
The event takes place at Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, and the event's main card, including a title fight between welterweight champ Nick Diaz and challenger Paul Daley, airs on Showtime.
Aoki and Beerbohm have two things in common: a love of colorful shorts, and a need for redemption in Strikeforce.
Aoki, whose belt won't be on the line, made his promotional debut this past April at the CBS-televised
"Strikeforce: Nashville" event and faced champion Gilbert Melendez. In a
one-sided and largely dull affair, Aoki was controlled by the Cesar Gracie
protege en route to a unanimous-decision loss. The fighter now known as "The Baka Survivor" rebounded with overseas wins over
Tatsuya Kawajiri, Marcus Aurelio and Yokthai Sithoar (all were non-title bouts). But he was knocked out cold in his most recent appearance, a mixed-rules
bout against kickboxer Yuichiro Nagashima at DREAM "Dynamite!! 2010."
Meanwhile, Beerbohm is looking to erase the memory of his most recent
fight, a unanimous-decision loss to Pat Healy this past month that
signified his first professional setback in 17 fights. In his previous Strikeforce appearances, Beerbohm posted notable
victories over Rafaello Oliveira, Duane Ludwig and Vitor "Shaolin"
The latest "Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley" card now includes:
- Champ Nick Diaz vs. Paul Daley (for welterweight title)
- Champ Gilbert Melendez vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri (for lightweight title)
- Mike Kyle vs. Gegard Mousasi
- Shinya Aoki vs. Lyle Beerbohm
- K.J. Noons vs. TBA*
* – Not officially announced

TBS Greenlights New Comedy Series "Sullivan and Son," Starring Comedian Steve Byrne and Executive-Produced by Vince Vaughn, Peter Billingsley and Rob Long
Series Comes to TBS from Wild West Picture Show Productions, in Association with Warner Horizon Television
TBS has given the greenlight to the new comedy series Sullivan and Son, starring popular comedian Steve Byrne and executive-produced by Vince Vaughn (The Break- Up), Peter Billingsley (Iron Man) and showrunner Rob Long (Cheers). Byrne also serves as producer on the series, which comes to TBS from Vaughn's Wild West Picture Show Productions, in association with Warner Horizon Television. The pilot was co-written by Byrne and Long, with Ted Wass (Rules of Engagement) directing. TBS has ordered 10 episodes of the series, which is slated to premiere this summer.
"Sullivan and Son is a smart, funny, workplace comedy from the distinct comedy voices of Steve Byrne and Rob Long," said Michael Wright, executive vice president, head of programming for TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies. "The barstools at Sullivan's bar are filled with outrageous, unique characters, and Steve and Rob have created an outstanding in which they can shine. We are extremely proud of this show and look forward to spending many nights throwing one back with the regulars at Sullivan & Son."
Sullivan and Son takes place in a popular and legendary neighborhood bar in a working-class neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Penn. Filled with locals and regulars, Sullivan & Son is the unofficial "town hall" to the neighborhood. As the series opens, Steve Sullivan (Byrne) is a successful corporate attorney from New York who brings his girlfriend, Ashley (guest star Brooke Lyons - 2 Broke Girls) for a visit just as his Irish-American father, Jack Sullivan (Dan Lauria - The Wonder Years), and Korean mother, Ok Cha (Jodi Long - Beginners), are preparing to sell the bar and retire.
Upon arrival, Steve reconnects with his best friend, Owen (Owen Benjamin - The House Bunny); gets accosted by his long-suffering, under-appreciated younger sister, Susan (Vivian Bang - Yes Man); endures offensive comments from gruff barfly Hank (Brian Doyle Murray - Groundhog Day, Saturday Night Live); and gets hit on by tipsy cougar Carol (Christine Ebersole - Royal Pains, Amadeus). He even feels a rekindled romantic spark with his former sweetheart, Melanie (Valerie Azlynn - Tropic Thunder).
It doesn't take Steve long to realize that what he really wants out of life is to return to the old neighborhood and take over Sullivan & Son, even if it means giving up a lavish Manhattan lifestyle with the gorgeous Ashley. And so begins Steve's quest for a more meaningful and rewarding life behind the bar.
In addition to Sullivan and Son, TBS recently announced that this summer, the network will premiere the new buddy comedy series Men at Work, starring Danny Masterson, James Lesure, Michael Cassidy and Adam Busch. Also this year, TBS will launch The Wedding Band, a new scripted comedy series starring Brian Austin Green, Harold Perrineau, Peter Cambor and Derek Miller, Melora Hardin, Jenny Wade and Kathryn Fiore.

Hey can you help organize our squads for the inter clan battle? Kinda got my hands full scaring us up gb matches, and hounding people with messages.
After watching Stealth_Rebels style on the other board I wholeheartedly say we don't even clan up with this guy and his clan(s). He seemed legit at first and has a decent optimism about the clans but hes too aggressive, in bad way towards others and opinions.
Seems like a short fuse. Good thing nothing legitimatly went through.
My only problem is now letting him know we are not interested.
i'm starting a BF3 graphicwhat would the ideal size be? as a clan graphic would it be possible for me to use the logo that your buddy made? it would be a private graphic so no one else would have access to the code or logo.
hey dude loving the site upgrades, not sure if your aware but the new and old banner appear (at least for me) at the same time creating an overlap. I know its not serious nor do i care if its fixed but i thought you might

Policy Updates, Tax Incentives, and Stimulus Resources (5/01/2009)
Tax Incentives Get Nod from Congress
May 1, 2009, Washington, D.C. - Congress has just wrapped up its budget resolution - the nonbinding blueprint for how it will allocate federal resources. The broad outline includes some positive signs of support for measures that will help to stabilize and increase charitable contributions to orchestras and others in the nonprofit community. The resolution calls for a two-year extension of the IRA Charitable Rollover provision, which will expire at the end of 2009 if Congress does not act. Orchestra advocacy in 2008 on behalf of this giving incentive helped lead to its temporary reinstatement. The Congressional budget plan further signaled support for charitable giving incentives by omitting a proposal by President Obama that would offset the costs of health care reform by capping at 28% the deductibility of contributions by families earning more than $250,000. While these are early signs of Congressional support for charitable giving, the pressure is on in Washington to find resources to fund the shared priorities of Congress and the Administration (such as health care, education, and energy). The League will keep you informed as the debate moves ahead.

Economic Stimulus Resources Available
To help you understand the complex array of economic stimulus funding currently delivered by federal, state, and local agencies, please see the following resources:
- The National Council of Nonprofits offers a series of special reports designed to help understand the connection between the nation's economic recovery and nonprofit organizations, including an analysis of Nonprofit Grant Opportunities, and grant tips .
- In addition to direct grant awards for arts organizations, currently under consideration, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) recently awarded 63 Recovery and Reinvestment grants to state arts agencies and regional arts organizations. Recovery grant guidelines vary by state and regional agencies, so orchestras should consult the list of state and regional recipients online and inquire directly about the funding process.
- The Arts Education Partnership has released a very helpful full analysis of the U.S. Department of Education (USED) economic stimulus funding. The USED has released guidelines for distributing economic stimulus funding, which includes funds for Title I education programs such as school modernization and state fiscal stabilization.

Obama Signs Service Act
National and community service programs will greatly expand under legislation signed by President Obama on April 21 . The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act (HR 1388) amends the 1990 National and Community Service Act and authorizes new programs that could triple the number of volunteers participating in volunteer community service.
While the arts have previously been eligible to receive support from National Service programs, language in the new bill directly calls for arts-related volunteerism activities within the "Education Corps." Education Corps is one of four new service corps and its purpose is to identify and fill unmet educational needs within communities. While programmatic details are yet to be worked out, the Education Corps legislative language calls for artists to promote greater community unity through the use of arts education and engagement through work in low-income communities, educational settings, health care, therapeutic settings, and other engagement with citizens of all ages.
At this time details of the legislative language have yet to be worked out and funding needs to be approved. The League will be keeping you informed about opportunities specific to orchestras as more information emerges about the new programs.

Congress Hears Musician Testimony
The impact that the economic downturn is having on the arts was the topic of a March 26 hearing of the U.S. House Committee on Education and Labor. Bruce Ridge, Chairman of the International Conference of Symphony and Opera Musicians and a musician in the North Carolina Symphony, delivered testimony in which he described the effects of the economic downturn for professional musicians. Committee Chairman George Miller (D-CA) commented, "Without the contributions and influence of the arts, our economy suffers greatly. Families suffer from lay-offs, lost income, and purchasing power. When we talk about the arts and music we're not just talking about artists and musicians. We're also talking about museums and galleries, and symphonies and orchestras, community theatres and non-profits that shape our neighborhoods, our towns, and our cities. This industry helps attract audience, spurs local business development, stimulating learning in classrooms."

Samsung and Huawei kick off Mobile World Congress
- Published
A fresh tablet from Samsung and a new Android handset from Huawei have been announced at the start of the Mobile World Congress (MWC).
About 1,500 exhibitors are taking part at the annual event in Barcelona.
Samsung's tablet features an 8in (20.3cm) screen with a resolution of 189 pixels per inch (ppi) making it slightly bigger and more detailed than Apple's bestselling iPad Mini.
Huawei's Ascend P2 has a 4.7in screen with 315ppi, and a 13 megapixel camera.
The Chinese firm said it also featured a facility called Magic Touch, which allowed it to be used while wearing gloves - similar to Nokia's Lumia 920.
Tablet wars
Samsung's Galaxy Note 8.0 is being promoted as a device on which users can multi-task - running two apps in split-screen mode - and can act as alternative to "traditional pen and paper" thanks to its included stylus, the S Pen.
The South Korean firm adds that it is light enough to be held by one hand, and can also be used to make phone calls.
According to the research firm IDC, Samsung was the world's most successful smart device manufacturer in the October-to-December period, accounting for 21.2% of all shipments.
However, that position was secured in large part due to its smartphones, and IDC noted that in the tablet sector Samsung came in second with a 15.1% market share compared to Apple's 43.6%.
"The Note 8 marks Samsung's relentless charge to grab a slice of the tablet market from Apple, but also to defend itself from the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7," Ben Wood, head of research at CCS Insight, told the BBC.
"I think there's a diminishing window of opportunity because Amazon and Google are playing by different rules - they are effectively willing to sell their hardware virtually at cost and then make money through content sales, whereas Samsung is a hardware manufacturer selling something for a margin.
"It's very difficult for consumers to tell the difference between these products - but what does make Samsung stand out is the fact they are prepared to carpet bomb marketing with an eye-watering budget, which effectively marginalises some of the other companies trying to get into the tablet space."
The Galaxy Note 8.0 is being made available in Europe, South Korea, China and a limited number of other countries in the April-to-June period.
Chinese ambition
Huawei describes its Android-powered Ascend P2 as the world's "fastest" smartphone thanks to it being the first to include an LTE Cat 4 chip which - in theory - allows 4G download speeds of up to 150 megabits per second,
The device also includes an NFC (near field communication) chip, allowing it to support wireless payments, and is relatively slim measuring 8.4mm (0.33in) thick,
However, its screen is lower resolution than recent models from LG, HTC and Nokia, and can display 720p HD video rather than 1080p output. But this may help it last longer between recharges, and the device also features a larger than average 2420 mAh battery.
According to IDC, Huawei accounted for 10.8 million smartphone shipments in the fourth quarter, making it the world's third-biggest vendor.
However, it could still only claim a 4.9% market share since Apple and Samsung dominated the sector - something the Chinese firm itself acknowledged describing itself as a "brand in the making" at its Barcelona launch,
"Because this is a very aggressively-priced LTE phone, Huawei have a good chance of getting it into operator portfolios for 2013," said Mr Wood.
"Brand awareness and credibility remain a challenge for Huawei. But this is a company that will never give up.
"Huawei is determined to make inroads into the mobile phone market, though the competitive intensity of this segment means they will need to spend a lot of money to succeed."
Huawei said the phone was already confirmed to go on sale in France in June, and should launch elsewhere around the globe around the same time.
MWC's competition
Other early MWC announcements include:
- A 16 gigabyte version of Acer's budget Iconia B1 tablet.
- The Samsung HomeSync - a 1 terabyte hard disk designed to allow families to share content between their Samsung devices and display it on their television.
- A marketing campaign from Asus - the maker of the Google Nexus 7 - suggesting it will be the latest to launch a tablet that can also make calls at its event on Monday.
In past year's Sony Ericsson also held a major press conference on the Sunday ahead of Monday's official start to MWC.
But the business - which is now controlled in whole by Sony - has opted for a smaller event on Monday this year.
The move reflects it decision to launch its flagship Xperia Z phone earlier in the year at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Other firms have also preferred to hold one-off events, such as Blackberry with its Z10 and Q10 unveiling in New York last month.
It is also notable that Samsung has chosen to hold off updating its key Galaxy S handset until later in the year. It unveiled the Galaxy S2 at MWC in 2011.

|Vendor Questions:
|Q. Are there any restrictions on the products or animals that can be sold at Repticon?
|A. All animals must be healthy and legal to sell within the state. Vendors who intentionally and repeatedly offer illegal or unhealthy animals for sale may be banned from future shows.
|Q. What if something is stolen from my table?
|A. Each exhibitor is expected to appropriately display their materials and staff their tables in order to prohibit shoplifting or theft. Repticon is not responsible for any theft before, during, or after each event. If you see something that doesn't look right, please tell us as soon as possible. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE SHOW!
|Q. How do I book tables at the show? Do I have to pre-pay?
|A. To book tables at a Repticon show, either utilize the online booking form here, or contact our Booking Team by phone at (407) 734- EXPO or by email at [email protected] , listed here. Although pre-payment is appreciated, vendors in good standing who have vended at prior Repticon expos are not required to pre-pay for tables.
|Vendors who have never vended at a Repticon expo must submit a $50 deposit upon booking to secure tables. This $50 deposit is credited towards the total payment due at the show. (For example, a first-time vendor booking one table must submit $50 upon booking, with a balance due of $45 at the show, for a total table cost of $95.
|Q. Do I need a banner and fancy neon sign?
|A. No neon sign required. However, each exhibitor is expected to create a professional, attractive display area in their space. It is now mandatory that Vendors must have a tablecloth to cover all their tables. If necessary, Repticon will provide them at $3 per table.
|Q. Can I let guests hold the animals?
|A. Exhibitors who choose to remove non-venomous animals from their enclosures or allow guests to handle their animals are responsible for maintaining control of the animals at all time. Each exhibitor is exclusively liable for any damage to property or personal injury resulting from handling of their live animals on the host facility premises.
|Q. An animal escaped...it was my mom's favorite! What do I do?
|A. Each exhibitor is responsible for ensuring that no animals leave their exhibit area unless under the control of an employee or customer. Each vendor is responsible for recapturing any escaped animals without unreasonable disruption to other exhibitors or guests. Any escaped animals must be immediately reported to Repticon. Any lost animals that are found after event hours or after the event closes become the property of Repticon, with no obligation for return to the original owner.
|Q. Are there restrictions about Wild-Caught Animals?
|A. There is no restriction regarding the sale of legal, wild-caught animals. Exhibitors are not required to display any particular signage, but are required to disclose any pertinent information to interested guests, including whether a particular animal is wild-caught or captive bred.
|Guest Questions:
|Q. Can I bring beer or funny drugs to the show?
|A. No alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs are allowed in any Repticon show, and WE WILL ASK YOU TO LEAVE.
|Q . Can I hold an animal at the show?
|A. Each exhibitor is different so please ask before touching and always use hand sanitizer!
|Q. Can I bring my personal animals to Repticon?
|A. Guests can bring up to two animals inside the event. We feel strongly that this interaction will provide guests with an additional opportunity to engage in discussion with exhibitors and will generate excitement among event attendees. Animals brought by guests to the event must be in good health and under their control at all times. Any guests who violate that policy will be asked to leave the show. (Even though Repticon does not prohibit you from bringing two animals to the show, state or local laws may prohibit this. Please check your local laws to ensure that your state or locality does not prohibit you from allowing your pets to be seen in public.) Also, some venues have restrictions so please check with the venue if you have any questions.
|Q. Can I sell my personal animals at the show?
|A. Guests may not bring animals into the event for the purpose of selling them at the event, as only show vendors with appropriate permits may sell animals. Any guests who violate that policy will be asked to leave the show.
|Q. Can I bring a venomous animal to a show?
|A. Even though we have "hot" shows, venomous animals are never allowed to be brought in to our shows. We have very strict protocols that we follow and want to guarantee the safety of all our guests and exhibitors.

▶ Module FAQ?
The information here is applicable to LSU HPC and LONI systems.
A user may choose between using /bin/bash and /bin/tcsh. Details about each shell follows.
System resource file: /etc/profile
When one access the shell, the following user files are read in if they exist (in order):
- ~/.bash_profile (anything sent to STDOUT or STDERR will cause things like rsync to break)
- ~/.bashrc (interactive login only)
- ~/.profile
When a user logs out of an interactive session, the file ~/.bash_logout is executed if it exists.
The default value of the environmental variable, PATH, is set automatically using Modules. See below for more information.
The file ~/.cshrc is used to customize the user's environment if his login shell is /bin/tcsh.
Modules is a utility which helps users manage the complex business of setting up their shell environment in the face of potentially conflicting application versions and libraries.
Default Setup
When a user logs in, the system looks for a file named .modules in their home directory. This file contains module commands to set up the initial shell environment.
Viewing Available Modules
The command
$ module avail
displays a list of all the modules available. The list will look something like:
--- some stuff deleted --- velvet/1.2.10/INTEL-14.0.2 vmatch/2.2.2 ---------------- /usr/local/packages/Modules/modulefiles/admin ----------------- EasyBuild/1.11.1 GCC/4.9.0 INTEL-140-MPICH/3.1.1 EasyBuild/1.13.0 INTEL/14.0.2 INTEL-140-MVAPICH2/2.0 --- some stuff deleted ---
The module names take the form appname/version/compiler, providing the application name, the version, and information about how it was compiled (if needed).
Managing Modules
Besides avail, there are other basic module commands to use for manipulating the environment. These include:
add/load mod1 mod2 ... modn . . . Add modules rm/unload mod1 mod2 ... modn . . Remove modules switch/swap mod . . . . . . . . . Switch or swap one module for another display/show . . . . . . . . . . List modules loaded in the environment avail . . . . . . . . . . . . . . List available module names whatis mod1 mod2 ... modn . . . . Describe listed modules
The -h option to module will list all available commands.
About the Software
RUM is an alignment, junction calling, and feature quantification pipeline specifically designed for Illumina RNA-Seq data. RUM can also be used effectively for DNA sequencing (e.g. ChIP-Seq) and microarray probe mapping. RUM also has a strand specific mode. - Homepage: https://github.com/itmat/rum/wiki
Please refer to the link below for detailed usage information.
▶ QSub FAQ?
Portable Batch System: qsub
All HPC@LSU clusters use the Portable Batch System (PBS) for production processing. Jobs are submitted to PBS using the qsub command. A PBS job file is basically a shell script which also contains directives for PBS.
$ qsub job_script
Where job_script is the name of the file containing the script.
PBS Directives
PBS directives take the form:
#PBS -X value
Where X is one of many single letter options, and value is the desired setting. All PBS directives must appear before any active shell statement.
Example Job Script
#!/bin/bash # # Use "workq" as the job queue, and specify the allocation code. # #PBS -q workq #PBS -A your_allocation_code # # Assuming you want to run 16 processes, and each node supports 4 processes, # you need to ask for a total of 4 nodes. The number of processes per node # will vary from machine to machine, so double-check that your have the right # values before submitting the job. # #PBS -l nodes=4:ppn=4 # # Set the maximum wall-clock time. In this case, 10 minutes. # #PBS -l walltime=00:10:00 # # Specify the name of a file which will receive all standard output, # and merge standard error with standard output. # #PBS -o /scratch/myName/parallel/output #PBS -j oe # # Give the job a name so it can be easily tracked with qstat. # #PBS -N MyParJob # # That is it for PBS instructions. The rest of the file is a shell script. # # PLEASE ADOPT THE EXECUTION SCHEME USED HERE IN YOUR OWN PBS SCRIPTS: # # 1. Copy the necessary files from your home directory to your scratch directory. # 2. Execute in your scratch directory. # 3. Copy any necessary files back to your home directory. # Let's mark the time things get started. date # Set some handy environment variables. export HOME_DIR=/home/$USER/parallel export WORK_DIR=/scratch/myName/parallel # Set a variable that will be used to tell MPI how many processes will be run. # This makes sure MPI gets the same information provided to PBS above. export NPROCS=`wc -l $PBS_NODEFILE |gawk '//{print $1}'` # Copy the files, jump to WORK_DIR, and execute! The program is named "hydro". cp $HOME_DIR/hydro $WORK_DIR cd $WORK_DIR mpirun -machinefile $PBS_NODEFILE -np $NPROCS $WORK_DIR/hydro # Mark the time processing ends. date # And we're out'a here! exit 0

The swish of the brooms used to push water out of soaked apartments was one of few sounds heard Sunday in the Todel apartment building in Hialeah.
Remnants of Friday's tragic shooting rampage that also involved a fire still littered the building at 1485 West 46th Street as residents somberly cleaned the mess.
The plumbing in one apartment's bathroom was exposed from a collapsed ceiling caused by the weight of the water used to put out the flames. Several buckets were placed throughout the building to catch water that was still dripping from the ceiling.
Police officers had yet to find a motive in Friday's shooting rampage at a Hialeah apartment complex that left seven people dead, including the gunman.

"People are still in shock," neighbor Carlos Alvarez said. "You don't realize what happened until a couple of days later you see a family missing."
Alvarez hid in a closet with his parents and two-year-old daughter during the shooting, that involved an eight-hour standoff with police officers as the gunman held two tenants hostage.
As they tried to make sense of the massacre, neighbors provided conflicting portrayals of gunman Pedro Vargas, 42. He was described as a quiet man who took his mother to doctor appointments, yet also someone who was known for getting into fights and yelling at his mom.
The details emerged as police tried to piece together why he set ablaze the apartment he lived in with his mother and then killed six people before police fatally shot him.
As the standoff unfolded, horrified residents hunkered down in their homes, at times so close to the action that they could feel the gunfire or hear negotiations between the gunman and police, authorities and witnesses said Saturday.
Vargas held the hostages at gunpoint for up to three hours in their apartment until a SWAT team entered and killed him, police said. The hostages were not hurt.
"Nobody seems to know why he acted the way he acted," said Lt. Carl Zogby, a spokesman with the Hialeah Police Department.

Detectives were investigating whether Vargas had any ongoing disputes with the building manager, as some residents believed.
"He was a good son," said Ester Lazcano, who lived on the same floor as Vargas and his mother. "He'd take her in the morning to run errands" and to doctor appointments.
Lazcano said she was in the shower when she heard the first shots, and then there were at least a dozen more.
"I felt the shots," she said.
Miriam Valdes, 70, was in a friend's apartment two doors down. She said she heard officers trying to convince Vargas to surrender.
She said the gunman first asked for his girlfriend and then his mother but refused to cooperate.
Valdes said Vargas was also known as a difficult person who sometimes got into fights and yelled at his mother.
"He was a very abusive person," she said. "He didn't have any friends there."
Police were called to the aging, five-story apartment building in Hialeah, a working class suburb a few miles northwest of downtown Miami, on Friday at 6:30 p.m. The first calls reported a fire, but when firefighters arrived, they heard shots and notified police, Zogby said.
Vargas, who has no known criminal record, set a combustible liquid on fire in his fourth-floor apartment while his mother, in her 80s. tried to stop him, Zogby told NBC 6. Officials said on Saturday that he was burning $10,000 cash, but it is still unclear why.
Building manager Italo Pisciotti, 79, and his wife, Camira Pisciotti, 69, saw smoke and ran to the unit, Zogby said. When they arrived, Vargas opened the door and fired, killing both as his mother watched, Zogby told NBC 6.

Vargas then went back into his burning apartment, got onto the balcony and fired 10 to 20 shots from a 9mm pistol into the street.
Officials said on Saturday that Vargas had bought the weapon legally and had a concealed weapons permit.
One of the bullets fired from the balcony struck 33-year-old Carlos Javier Gavilanes, who was parking his car after returning home from work. Zogby said his body was found next to his vehicle.
The gunman then kicked his way into a third-floor apartment, where he shot to death Patricio Simono, 54; his wife Merly Niebles, 51; and their 17-year-old daughter. Family members said Simono worked at a car wash and Niebles cleaned hotel rooms. Niebles' daughter, who family members identified as 17-year-old Priscilla Perez, wanted to be a nurse.
Agustin Hernandez, Niebles' brother-in-law, loaded several old pictures and other items from his relative's apartment in a grocery cart and into his car. One showed his teenage niece smiling in a red graduation gown. Another pictured his sister-in-law posing in a white dress and pearls.
A binder also from the apartment had pop artist Justin Beiber's name on the spine, presumably belonging to Perez.
Marcela Chavarri, director of the American Christian School, said Perez was about to enter her senior year.
"She was a lovely girl," Chavarri said through tears. "She was always happy and helping her classmates."
Grandmother Gladys Perez was in shock a day following the girl's death.
"She had just started to live," Gladys Perez told NBC 6.

All six people were killed in a short time span, Zogby said, and it's possible they were all dead by the time police arrived.
Officers and Vargas then engaged in an hours-long shootout and chase, with police following the gunman from one floor to the next.
"He kept running from us as he fired at us and we fired at him," Zogby said.
Several hours into the ordeal, Vargas forced his way into unit 523 and held two people captive.
Sgt. Eddie Rodriguez said negotiators and a SWAT team tried talking with him from the other side of the door.
Rodriguez said the talks eventually "just fell apart." Officers stormed the building, fatally shooting the gunman in an exchange of gunfire.
Neighbor Carlos Sanchez, who lives in an adjacent unit, said he heard at least 18 shots fired. He hid in his living room as bullets bounced through the walls of his bedroom, staying there until police escorted him out after 1 a.m. Saturday.
Zogby said Vargas still had several rounds of ammunition when he was killed.
"He was ready to fight," Zogby said.

All News Releases By Date
Recovery Act Funding to Accelerate Cleanup, Boost Economy, Create Jobs and Protect Human Health at Utah's Bountiful/Woods Cross Hazardous Waste Site
Release Date: 04/15/2009
Contact Information: Bill Murray, EPA, 303-312-6401, email@example.com
Up to $5 million in Recovery Act funds added to cleanup at Bountiful/Woods Cross Superfund Site
(Denver, Colo. – April 15, 2009) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today announced up to $5 million in new funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for the Bountiful/Woods Cross 5th South PCE Plume Superfund site in Davis County, north of Salt Lake City. The money will accelerate the hazardous waste cleanup already underway at the site. It will also jumpstart the local economy by creating jobs in the Davis County area. This Recovery Act funding is part of the $600 million that Congress appropriated to the Federal Superfund remedial program.
"EPA has an answer to these challenging economic times," said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. "Under the Recovery Act, we're getting harmful pollutants and dangerous chemicals out of these communities and putting jobs and investment back in."
The additional money will be used to install groundwater extraction wells and a water treatment system to control the spread of a plume of groundwater contaminated with PCE, a dry-cleaning solvent. The cleanup will reduce the plume's threat to a municipal drinking water well and several private residential wells within the site's boundaries.
"This is how we create new jobs and help stimulate our economy while protecting human health and the environment," said Carol Rushin, EPA Acting Regional Administrator. "The Recovery Act dollars will result in the cleanup and redevelopment of Superfund sites, and restoration of the communities, rivers and water supplies that have been contaminated by mining wastes."
The Federal Superfund program was created in 1980 to clean up uncontrolled hazardous waste sites that pose unacceptable risks to human health and the environment. Superfund sites are often found in industrial areas hardest hit by the recession. Superfund cleanups are major construction projects which employ thousands of workers nationwide. The Superfund program is implementing new or expanded cleanup actions at 50 sites around the country and since it began, the program has completed construction of remedies at more than 1,060 of the 1,596 sites on its National Priorities List.
By starting or speeding up cleanup at Superfund sites, Recovery Act funding is also increasing the speed with which these sites are returned to productive use. When a Superfund site is redeveloped, it can offer significant economic benefits to local communities including future job creation.
President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on February 17, 2009, and has directed the Recovery Act be implemented with unprecedented transparency and accountability. To that end, the American people can see how every dollar is being invested at www.Recovery.gov.
