Top-10 finish for Tim Wilkinson at Pebble Beach
Relevant offers
New Zealand golfer Tim Wilkinson slipped back on the final day of the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, but secured a valuable top-10 finish.
The 35-year-old Manawatu player shot a final round one-over 73 to drop from a tie for second to a tie for seventh at six-under which leaps him from 121st on the PGA Tour's money list to 74th.
Wilkinson played the final round with eventual winner Jimmy Walker, but Walker's six-shot buffer proved enough to keep him away from several fast-finishing competitors.
Dustin Johnson and Jim Renner got to 10-under and Walker stood on the final tee with just a one-shot lead.
After taking iron off the tee and still missing the fairway on the narrow par-five last, Walker had to sink a nervy four-footer for par and a two-over round of 74 to secure his third win of the season.
Wilkinson struggled throughout and was on the cusp of dropping out of the top 10 heading to the tournament's 72nd hole.
But while Walker had to battle to make par, Wilkinson hit his brilliant approach shot to tap-in range for his third birdie of the day. Unfortunately he also made four bogeys.
Wilkinson seventh is his best finish of the season, his 13th top 10 on the PGA Tour.

Hartford — The state is still projected to have a $505 million surplus this year, according to a report released by the state comptroller's office on Tuesday. State Comptroller Kevin Lembo said any surplus money gained in the last quarter of this year should go toward the state's Rainy Day Fund or reserve fund in order to prevent budget deficits in future years.
"Sufficient dollars in reserve will guard against future tax increases and service reductions during inevitable future recessionary cycles," Lembo said.
This information comes hours before the General Assembly's Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee will meet to negotiate and vote on taxes, fees and revenues for next year's budget and help determine how this year's surplus money will be spent.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has proposed putting about $250 million of the surplus in the state's Rainy Day Fund, $100 million toward the state's unfunded state pensions and $155 million for tax rebates.
There was $271 million in the state's Rainy Day Fund last year, according to the comptroller's office. Besides adding $250 million of this year's surplus to the Rainy Day Fund, Malloy has proposed putting in an additional $30 million from surplus money that is expected next year.
If the $280 million were added, the fund would equal about 3 percent of total spending.
Statute caps the Rainy Day Fund level at 10 percent of spending and Lembo has been advocating for a reserve of 15 percent of spending.
Lembo said that policymakers should keep in mind that this year's budget relies on $303 million in funds from fiscal year 2013 and that much of the surplus money this year is from a one-time tax amnesty program and from volatile capital gains in the income tax.
The current surplus might increase if the revenues in the last quarter continue to grow as has happened in other quarters this year, Lembo said. The three largest tax categories -- income, sales and corporate taxes -- have exceeded expectations, he said. The largest gain is in the income tax, $213.1 million, which includes capital gains from a strong stock market, Lembo said.
However, he cautioned in his press release that "both OFA (Office of Fiscal Analysis) and OPM (Office of Policy and Management) have estimated budget shortfalls beginning in fiscal year 2016 if current policies remain unchanged," Lembo said.

The high tensile strength and Young's modulus of carbon nanotubes have led to much speculation about their uses. Here we have investigated the increase in permittivity of a commercial silicone by the addition of carbon nanotubes. The resulting percolation threshold is an order of magnitude lower than that of graphite/elastomer composites. This is of importance because filled systems which we have investigated previously have demonstrated a dramatic increase in the Young's modulus of the composite, offsetting any improvement the increased permittivity may have provided the actuator.

Alleged next-generation iPhone Logic Board photos appear
On the heels of alleged photos of the new Dock Connector, French site Nowherelese.fr has now posted photos of what it believes to be the motherboard of the next-generation iPhone (Translated Link). The photos show both the front and back of the board, with the accompanying text noting that the format is "broadly similar" in format to other motherboards used by Apple and that the design appears to fit with the previously leaked photos of casings for the coming iPhone.

Finding the Bugs in Pathogen Detectors
While getting a good sample into the device is clearly important, the business end of a biological agent detection system is always its assay. In recent years, researchers from fields as diverse as nano-engineering and immunology have focused their attention on developing new bioweapons detection assays, producing a flood of promising designs. Unfortunately, nearly all of these methods still suffer from serious drawbacks.

As a network professional, one of your newer roles is likely troubleshooting poor application performance. For most of us, our jobs have advanced beyond network "health," towards sharing - if not owning - responsibility for application delivery. There are many reasons for this more justifiable than the adage that the network is first to be blamed for performance problems. (Your application and system peers feel they are first to be blamed as well.) Two related influencing trends come to mind:
- Increased globalization, coupled with (in fact facilitated by) inexpensive bandwidth means that the network is becoming a more critical part of the business at the same time its constraint is shifting from bandwidth to latency.
- Many of the network devices - appliances - that sit in the path between remote offices and data centers are application-fluent, designed to enhance and speed application performance, often by spoofing application behaviors; in fact, many of these have evolved in response to problems introduced by increased network latency.
In an ideal world, your application performance management (APM) solution or your application-aware network performance management (AANPM) solution would automatically isolate the fault domain for you, providing all the diagnostic evidence you need to take the appropriate corrective actions. The reality is that this isn't always the case; intermittent problems, unexpected application or network behaviors, inefficient configuration settings, or just a desire for more concrete proof mean that manual troubleshooting remains a frequent exercise. Although it may seem like there are a near-unlimited number of root causes of poor application performance, and that trial and error, guesswork and finger-pointing are valid paths toward resolution, the truth is much different. In a series of network triage blog posts, I'll identify the very limited realm of possible performance constraints, explain how to measure and quantify their impact, illustrate these using network packet trace diagrams, and offer meaningful and supportable actions you might evaluate to correct the problem. Understanding how to detect these possible performance problems (there are twelve altogether) will help you troubleshoot faster, more accurately, with greater insight, while collaborating more effectively with your application and system peers.
In this introductory entry, I present the request/reply application paradigm assumption upon which most of the analyses depend, illustrate key packet-level measurements, and provide a list of the 12 bottleneck categories we'll discuss in future blog entries to the series.
Packet Flow Diagrams
Throughout the blog series I will be using packet flow diagrams to illustrate message flows on the network, often to emphasize TCP's influence on these flows. Some are drawings to illustrate concepts and theory, others are screenshots from Compuware's Transaction Trace Analysis that illustrate the pertinent performance bottleneck. The diagram conventions are simple:
- Each arrow represents one TCP packet
- Blue arrows are used to represent data packets
- Red arrows are used to represent TCP ACK packets
- The slope of the arrow represents network delay
- Time flows from top to bottom
We will frequently use the term "operation," which we define as the unit of work that an application performs on behalf of a user; we sometimes describe it as "Click (or Enter key) to screen update." Business transactions are made up of one or more operations; for example, a user may click through a series of screens (operations) to complete a customer order update. Operations are an important demarcation point, as they represent the unique performance dimension important to the business, to the user, and to IT. The time a user waits for the system to execute an operation impacts business transaction performance and therefore productivity, and is dictated by the performance of lower-level IT-managed hardware, software and services. Note that this terminology may differ somewhat from network probes that often use the term "transaction" to reference session-layer request-response exchanges, which we discuss next.
Request/Reply Paradigm
We assume a client/server or request/reply paradigm, with TCP as the transport; this covers virtually all of what we might refer to as interactive business applications. It would include, for example, web-based apps, "fat client" apps, file server access, file transfers, backups, etc. It specifically excludes voice and video streaming as well as the presentation tier of thin-client solutions that use protocols such as ICA and PCoIP.
For each operation, there will be at least one application-level request and one corresponding application-level reply. These can be considered application messages, sometimes referred to as application-layer protocol data units (PDUs). Consider a simple client-server operation. At the application layer, a request message is passed to the client's TCP stack (TCP socket) for segmentation (into packets), addressing, and transmission; these lower layer TCP stack functions are essentially transparent to the application. At the receiving end (the server), the data from the network packets is reassembled into the application layer message and delivered to the listener service for processing. Once processing is complete, the server application passes the reply message to the server's TCP stack, and the message contents are similarly segmented and transferred across the network to the client. The performance of these request/reply message exchanges is constrained by two factors; message processing (at the server or client) and message transmission (across the network).
It is helpful, then, to consider this request/reply message exchange as the basis for performance analysis; the reassembled messages represent our network-centric insight into the application, while the packets visible in the trace file inform us how efficiently the network transports these messages.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

South Sudan - Executive brief 5 June 2014
Tags: SOUTH SUDAN, EASTERN AFRICA, SOUTH SUDAN CRISIS, HUMANITARIAN CRISIS, LIVESTOCK, MALNUTRITION, DISPLACEMENT, CONFLICT, FOOD CRISIS,
Jun 2014
- To date, FAO has distributed 111 000 emergency livelihood kits and has scaled up distributions to ensure support reaches beneficiaries in time for the planting season (before June 15). Kits include fishing gear, vegetable seed, crop seeds (including 'no-harm' tools) and animal health supplies. Inputs have now reached seven states including Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile.
- Joint WFP/FAO/UNICEF multi-sector rapid response operations are ongoing in remote locations in Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile states. This includes airdrops, airlifts, and transport by trucks.
- The rainy season is fully underway and road access to much of the country is being lost progressively.
- Latest IPC food security analysis (May 2014) indicates that food security has deteriorated at an alarming rate since the outbreak of the conflict. 3.5 million people are in crisis or emergency IPC Phase, and a possible famine is looming unless adequate humanitarian assistance is provided now.
- 1.4 million people have been forced from their homes by the conflict since 15 December 2013, including over one million displaced within South Sudan and over 360 000 fleeing to neighbouring countries. (OCHA SitRep No.38).
- Parties to the conflict signed a cessation of hostilities agreement on May 9, in Addis Ababa, to end the conflict and to cooperate with the humanitarian community to ensure that aid reaches millions of affected people in South Sudan, however sporadic fighting continues.
- Response programme possible thanks to the generous support from the Governments of Belgium, Canada, Denmark, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, as well as from the Africa Solidarity Trust Fund, the European Community Humanitarian Office, the UN's Common Humanitarian Fund, and allocations of unearmarked funding by FAO.

Visual effects software developer The Foundry's new Ocula is a collection of plug-ins that solves common problems with 3-D stereoscopic imagery, boosts productivity in post production and delivers a more rewarding 3-D stereoscopic viewing experience.
The new plug-ins automatically replicate key processes on left and right channels and provide tools that help artists polish and refine 3-D stereoscopic material.
The Ocula tools are based on new disparity-mapping algorithms, created by The Foundry's R&D team. Disparity maps track and correlate the differences in positional space and movement between corresponding pixels in the left and right cameras and then deliver pixel-level control over images.
Knowing where disparities occur, Ocula tools apply corrections by warping, stretching and squeezing only those areas of an image that require treatment. Image manipulation using disparity maps is different than X-, Y- or Z-axis shifting of images, where only whole image planes are being shifted.
Ocula plug-ins allow artists to make multiple adjustments to stereo image pairs. All corrections can be made to the left and right eye channels together or separately.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.4 /5 from 170 reviews
Great location just off the Gran Via, and near tons of shopping, walking distance to Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, and the palace. New hotel, still in great shape. Rooftop pool is more for show, as it is tiny and freezing cold. Good value.
There was no natural light in the room at all. There was a window that opened on a very narrow air shaft. When I tried to change, they explained that all standard rooms were like that, and that an upgrade was not available (5 hours later amended to an upgrade "might" be available).The bath was small but with a walk-in shower complete with a grab bar and good traction - a very positive experience.The breakfast was adequate but of 5 hotels we stayed at over 3 weeks in Spain it ranked a distant 5th.The coffee service was ridiculous. You had to feed little containers into the machine and push the button to get coffee and it took three rounds to get a nearly full cup. The staff was friendly and helpful, but it felt like they were sabotaged by management. Little things like blocking the European Cup games from the in room TV and pulling tables and chairs away from the (very tiny) pool area in the afternoon of an 85 degree day to prep for a private function that evening. Take a snack if you're going to use the elevators. They were the slowest I've ever been in - and two small cars to serve 12 floors of guest rooms.
Lovely hotel friendly staff. Location great
Only downsides were breakfast, the hot food was usually cold and a topless bar a few doors down. The latter could be a bonus depending on how you view it. Otherwise an absolutely fantastic hotel and experience!
We only stated one night. Staff friendly hotel safety was great. Food was good but limited. Lights in room were annoying to control. Room was perfumed with a strong scent. Took sometime to get use to. Left window open to diminish scent which wax nice but just was too strong would stay again

MSI GeForce GTX 780 Gaming review -
DX11: Company of Heroes 2
DX11: Company of Heroes 2
On this page we benchmark Company of Heroes 2 which is a real-time strategy game developed by Relic Entertainment and published by Sega for the Microsoft Windows platform. It is the sequel to the critically acclaimed 2006 game Company of Heroes. As with the original Company of Heroes, the game will be set in World War II but will focus on the Eastern Front. Company of Heroes 2 runs on Relic Entertainment's proprietary Essence 3.0 game engine, which THQ claims allowed the developer to bring "new technological advancements" to the game. In January 2013, Sega acquired Relic Entertainment and along with it the Company of Heroes intellectual property from THQ. The game was released on June 25, 2013 in North America and Europe.
The game is built on Relic's proprietary Essence 3.0 engine, which showcases new improvements compared to Relic's previous games. One such improvement is the new line-of-sight technology, TrueSight, which aims to better emulate troop visibility in real combat. In contrast to traditional unit visibility, TrueSight more accurately represents a unit's visibility range based on environmental conditions and type of unit. Essence 3.0 also incorporates an innovative weather-simulating technology known as ColdTech and destructible environments.
For the first test above we'll show you the GTX 780 in several image quality modes that you can select in-game. You'll find that the game is more CPU greedy rather then GPU greedy. Hence the results in-between the image quality modes are not very significant.
For future reference, we'll be using the HIGHER quality mode. The game was just released, so all I had time for was to test three different GTX 780 cards. In future reviews this benchmark is going to build and expand with more cards of course.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Former Mayor David Dinkins was expected to be released from the hospital by the end of the week, according to his law partner and adviser.
Peter Johnson Jr. said he spoke with Dinkins, 86, on Tuesday. Dinkins was admitted to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital with pneumonia this past Wednesday.
Dinkins is walking the hallways, greeting people, reading the papers, watching the news and signing letters, Johnson said. The former mayor was also able to vote on Tuesday, CBS 2 reported.
Johnson said Dinkins has made "a dramatic turnabout from where he was" when he was admitted.
Dinkins was the first black mayor of New York City. He defeated three-term incumbent Mayor Ed Koch in 1989, but served only one term before being defeated by Mayor Rudolph Giuliani four years later.
Dinkins teaches at Columbia University.

Major Recommendations
Practice Recommendations
The following recommendations, based upon current evidence, apply to women experiencing difficulties with a low rate of milk production (e.g., the baby is not gaining weight normally or supplementation is being used because of low milk production, during either the initiation or maintenance of milk supply).
Specific information about individual drugs and herbs is summarized at the end of these recommendations in the Appendix in the original guideline document.
- Evaluate and augment the frequency and thoroughness of milk removal. Use non-pharmacologic measures to increase the overall rate of breast milk synthesis.
- For women with healthy term infants: Improve breastfeeding practices (Level of Evidence I).
- Recommend skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby to facilitate frequent feeding and stimulate oxytocin release (the milk ejection reflex [MER]) (Uvnas-Moberg, 2003).
- Encourage mother to perform self-breast massage in order to improve oxytocin release (MER) and milk removal.
- Review or teach relaxation techniques to facilitate oxytocin release (MER) for improved milk removal.
- Help the mother–infant dyad to achieve optimal latch-on (Anderson & Valdes, 2007; Sakha & Behbahan, 2008; Seema, Patwari, & Satyanarayana, 1997).
- Resolve nipple pain, if applicable, using the following strategies:
- Optimal latch-on
- Diagnosis and management of other causes of pain
- Refer to a lactation specialist as needed
- Emphasize unrestricted frequency and duration of breastfeeding (if the infant has been shown to be effectively transferring milk) (Sakha & Behbahan, 2008; Seema, Patwari & Satyanarayana, 1997).
- Advise the mother to reduce or stop unnecessary supplementation (Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine [ABM] Protocol Committee, 2009) and provide strategies for how to do so.
- Gradual tapering off of amounts of supplementation
- Use of "supplementer system" (tube at the breast attached to a source of supplemental milk) if appropriate.
- For women with babies who are ineffective at milk removal or unable to feed at the breast (e.g., premature, hospitalized, hypotonic):
- Recommend and teach gentle hand expression of colostrum: The volume extracted by hand expression is greater than the volume extracted by full size, automatic cycling breast pumps (Ohyama, Watabe, & Hayasaka, 2010); video and photographic illustrations of hand expression are available at newborns.stanford.edu/Breastfeeding/HandExpression.html (Morton, 2010) and www.breastfeeding.com/helpme/helpme_images_expression.html ("Expressing breastmilk," 2010).
- Recommend milk expression with a full-size, automatic cycling breast pump, capable of draining both breasts at the same time ("hospital grade"), if available (Level of Evidence II-2) (Green et al., 1982).
- Recommend "hands-on pumping" (a combination of hand expression with double pumping); this technique was superior to double pumping alone in one randomized, controlled trial (Jones, Dimmock, & Spencer, 2001) and one observational study (Morton et al., 2009) (Level of Evidence I and II-3).
- Recommend that women adjust the electric pump to their maximum comfortable vacuum, which enhances milk flow rate and milk yield and minimizes occurrence of tissue damage (Level of Evidence II-1) (Kent et al., 2008).
- Recommend hand expression if a hospital-grade pump is not available or if the woman prefers the manual technique; hand expression requires instruction and a period of practice until the mother becomes proficient.
- Foot pump expression does not require electricity and may be another available alternative (Becker, McCormick, & Renfrew, 2008).
- For women with healthy term infants: Improve breastfeeding practices (Level of Evidence I).
- Evaluate the mother for "medical" causes of hypogalactia: Pregnancy, medications, primary mammary glandular insufficiency, breast surgery, polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothyroidism, retained placenta, theca lutein cyst, loss of prolactin secretion following postpartum hemorrhage, heavy smoking or alcohol use, or other pertinent conditions. Treat the condition as indicated, if treatment is available (Lawrence & Lawrence, 2005) (Level of Evidence II-2, II-3, and III).
- Because current research of all galactogogues is relatively inconclusive and all of the agents have potential adverse effects, Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine (ABM) cannot recommend any specific pharmacologic or herbal galactogogues at this time.
- The healthcare provider who weighs the potential risks versus the potential benefits of these agents and chooses to prescribe a galactogogue should follow the guidelines below (Level of Evidence III) (see the Appendix in the original guideline document regarding details of prescribing specific galactogogues).
- Inform women about available data concerning efficacy, timing of use, and duration of therapy of galactogogues (Level of Evidence I) (Anderson & Valdes, 2007). (Specific information is presented in the Appendix of the original guideline document.)
- Inform women about available data concerning potential adverse effects of galactogogues (see the Appendix in the original guideline document regarding details of specific galactogogues):
- Screen the mother for allergies to, contraindications to, or drug interactions with the chosen medication or other substance.
- Provide ongoing care to, supervise ongoing care of, or transfer care of both mother and infant to ensure appropriate follow-up and attention to any side effects.
- Prescribe galactogogues at the lowest possible doses for the shortest period of time; do not exceed recommended therapeutic doses.
- Consider gradually discontinuing the drug (tapering the dose) at the end of therapy; some studies stop the drug at the conclusion of therapy, and others gradually discontinue the drug, with no clear advantage to either method.
- If milk production wanes after stopping the drug and improves again with resumption of the medication, attempt to gradually decrease the drug to the lowest effective dose and then discontinue the drug at a later date if possible.
- Consider obtaining written documentation of informed consent when using any galactogogues.
Levels of Evidence

Qualifying Statements
Qualifying Statements
A central goal of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is the development of clinical protocols for managing common medical problems that may impact breastfeeding success. These protocols serve only as guidelines for the care of breastfeeding mothers and infants and do not delineate an exclusive course of treatment or serve as standards of medical care. Variations in treatment may be appropriate according to the needs of an individual patient. These guidelines are not intended to be all-inclusive, but to provide a basic framework for physician education regarding breastfeeding.

"From an analyst side I don't like it"
Anyone have any idea what this means. Is he worried that he can't predict how someone will play because he does not know if they used PEDs, of is he admitting that ESPN requires their analysts to only have opinions approved by the network?

Incentives to protect Southland waterways
Relevant offers
Environment Southland is relaxing grant restrictions to encourage landowners to do more fencing and riparian planting.
At the council's regional services committee meeting this week, councillors agreed to change the subsidy criteria in the Living Streams programme for landowners in the Waihopai and Waikawa catchments.
This means less restrictions on landowners wanting to apply for the Living Stream grant towards stock fencing within the two catchments.
Council has agreed to move from a 25 per cent fencing subsidy to 50 per cent, which existed in 2012. A $5000 cap per property was also removed.
Landowners also needed to have an approved riparian management plan in order to qualify for the grant.
The changes were more in line with an older version of the programmes.
Senior programme leader Amy Kirk said the grant was an incentive for landowners wanting to put up fencing to protect waterways.
Regional Services chairman Ross Cockburn said the decision to change back was about encouraging people to do something about water quality.
Land sustainability officers will work with landowners who want to apply for a grant.
