"Look, brother, I can see with my eyes - it is the middle of the day and the sun is shining brightly and it is very hot. You are saying that it is dark? How can I explain it to you?"
"Let us go then," said the owl. "There is a big tree over there where there are lots of owls and great scholars too. We will ask them about it - and they know all about the scriptures, and a few of them are very learned. Come on. We will see if you are making a fool of me."
They flew over and there were many many blind owls there. "This swan has turned up," the owl said, "and he says that it is the middle of the day and the sun is beating down and that there is light everywhere and that's why it is hot. What do you people say?"
"What is all this?" they cried. "Our fathers and their fathers and their fathers, in fact the whole of our community has never seen a sun, so there is no such thing as a sun. How can it be there? He is having you on. Don't listen to him. He is either mad or a very fraudulent fellow. He is trying to corrupt our religion. We have always lived in darkness and we have always worshipped darkness. It is the very foundation of our way of life. He will destroy our way of life. That is the sort of person he is. If you want, we will take a majority vote on it."
One owl got up and said, "What is the truth? Does darkness exist or does light?"
"Darkness, and darkness alone," they all cried in unison.
"Why then has it got so hot?"
"Because it is so dark," they cried. "Heat is a function of darkness."
"Don't let him stay here," they all cried again. "He will spoil our religion, our tradition, our very cherished past. Drive him away immediately. He is either totally blind or utterly mad."
This small parable contains a few truths of immense value.
First: truth cannot be transferred - there is no way to transfer it - my truth is my truth. I can talk about it to you, but talking about it is not transferring it to you, listening to it is not understanding it. You will have to open your own eyes.
The function of a real master is not to say to you that God exists but to help you to open your eyes, to open your windows of the soul so that you can see, so that you can realize the meaning of the word God in your own bones, in your own blood, in your very marrow. I cannot see for you through my eyes and I cannot walk for you with my legs and I cannot fly for you with my wings. You will have to live your life and you will have to die your death.
This is one of the most fundamental things to be always remembered; otherwise one becomes burdened with borrowed knowledge which is not knowledge at all but a pseudo coin. It looks like knowledge, hence it can deceive you.

As my first contribution to the MySQL Performance Blog, I joined Percona at the beginning September, I chose to cover the various high-availability (HA) options available for MySQL. I have done dozen of MySQL HA related engagements while working for Sun/MySQL over the last couple of years using Heartbeat, DRBD and NDB cluster and I'll […]
Finding your MySQL High-Availability solution – The definitions
Percona welcomes Yves Trudeau and Fernando Ipar
I'm happy to extend a warm welcome to two new members of the Percona team.
First is Yves Trudeau, about whom I can say many things:
One of the top MySQL Cluster (NDB Cluster) experts in the world.
An expert on all things High Availability, including DRBD and Heartbeat.
Many years of experience with Huge Data.
Half of the Waffle Grid team.
A really nice person!
Yves joins us after a tenure of several years as a senior consultant at Sun/MySQL. Together with Matt Yonkovit, he plans to work on WaffleGrid (…
Percona Welcomes Morgan Tocker and Matt Yonkovit
The Percona team has kept on expanding. We are very pleased to announce the addition of Morgan Tocker and Matt Yonkovit!
Morgan has been with us for a while. Before joining Percona, Morgan worked as a Technical Instructor for MySQL (and then Sun Microsystems) in…1990's as a DBA, System Administrator, and all around techie. Before joining Percona, Matt worked at MySQL and Sun Microsystems as a Solution Architect helping to…. He will be a valuable member of both our consulting and development teams.
Morgan and Matt, a big welcome — we are fortunate indeed that you're…
Three key things to know about moving MySQL into the cloud.
The question "what problems will I have when migrating to the cloud" gets asked often enough. If by cloud you mean Amazon EC2, then from a technical perspective there isn't much that changes. The biggest thing that changes is just how you pay your bill. Having said that, there's still a few potential gotchas: There […]
Onsite and Remote – getting best of both worlds
At Percona we provide services both Onsite – visiting the customers and Remote – logging in to their systems or communicating via email,phone,instant messaging. We believe both approaches have their benefits and drawbacks and mixing them right way allows you to get your problems solved most efficient way.
When would you use SAN with MySQL ?
One question which comes up very often is when one should use SAN with MySQL, which is especially popular among people got used to Oracle or other Enterprise database systems which are quite commonly deployed on SAN. My question in such case is always what exactly are you trying to get by using SAN ?
Faster MySQL failover with SELECT mirroring
One of my favorite MySQL configurations for high availability is master-master replication, which is just like normal master-slave replication except that you can fail over in both directions. Aside from MySQL Cluster, which is more special-purpose, this is probably the best general-purpose way to get fast failover and a bunch of other benefits (non-blocking ALTER […]
Recovery beyond data restore
Quite frequently I see customers looking at MySQL recovery as on ability to restore data from backup which can be far from being enough to restore the whole system to operating state, especially for complex systems. Instead of looking just at data restore process you better look at the whole process which is required to […]
How much overhead DRDB could cause ?
I was working with the customer today investigating MySQL over DRBD performance issues. His basic question was why there is so much overhead with DRBD in my case, while it is said there should be no more than 30% overhead when DRBD is used. The truth is – because how DRBD works it does not […]
State of MySQL Market and will Replication live ?
There are interesting posts these day about future of MySQL Replication by Brian Frank and Arjen. I think it very interesting to take a look at a bit bigger picture using framework from Innovators Dilemma and Innovators Solution. I'm not going to speak about disruption and commoditisation of Database Market, leaving this for Market talks, […]

SOUTH BEND, Ind -- The South Bend woman accused of shooting and killing the father of her girlfriend's child, and wounding two other men, was back in court Wednesday.
Joilise Crossley had a public defender appointed for her.
The 19-year-old is charged with manslaughter and two counts of criminal recklessness stemming from the march shooting.
Crossley is accused of shooting and killing Tyrone Kelly in the 1800 block of N. Johnson Street.
Court documents say Kelly was upset Crossley was spending time with his kid.
He apparently went to meet Crossley to end their feud and an argument started.
The documents say he took a swing at her and missed, ten she took out a semi-automatic handgun and started shooting.
Crossley is next due in court on May 1.

Reconcile Lyrics - Nightrage
Review The Song (1)
Your ordinary life goes on.
These memories of what happened so many years
ago are long gone.
Laid too rest. Deep inside of you.
But the time is now. When the past
becomes your future.
I am all that you need.
You're second place to dirt.
I bring what you deserve.
Now you're first place too.
Reconcile. I am leaving no trace.
You will be forgotten.
Reconcile. My hate crime is shaping up.
This is my vengeance.
I am sucking your marrow out. Sucking you dry.
Walking so empty entered this chasm of mine
In this world for you.
I am sucking your marrow out. Sucking you dry.
Walking so empty like a casket without a corpse
I have been re-inventing this world for you.

With Friends Like These (1991) - DVDRip (Size: 700.11 MB)
Ok I brought this for £1.49 from a discount bookshop, I was drunk at the time and decided the blurb on the back sounded funny. on a crowded bus, three people sit patiently waiting for their stops, unaware that they are about to have extraordinary experiences. Thats all the info the box had with a pretty lame monster on the front.
The film is classed as a 18, yes a 18 why??? Its not scary its not good but its very funny when one bloke opens his fridge to find his rotten food has turned into a person, who is aroused by porn, another bloke has a car talk to him just cause the car wants a owner who wants a understanding driver, chucks him out on the highway and then picks up a woman driver. Also a woman who has a date from hell. Ok it may be a crap film but don't worry about the plot, story and just enjoy is pretty dumb acting, some parts are pretty funny, so if you see it on budget just give it a go.

Re: Dean Ambrose Pre-Debut Discussion Thread
Bit gutted he lost to Kofi however 1) dark matches in terms on win/loss are irrelevant and 2) Kofi is a crowd favourite and so for the interest of the crowd they would prob want to see him win, especially as it has no relevance to a storyline or feud and casuals have no idea who Ambrose is right now.
@JoseDRiveraTCR7 we'll agree to disagree although I imagine if we were face to face we would for the most part agree on the topic, arguing on the internet is pointless. however you do like the same music as me so thats pretty nice.
@The Lizard I want him to be pushed to the moon but nothing big time main event, as i've said earlier on, i'd like him INVOLVED with main eventers without being THE main event. look at Sandow, he mostly sticks to midcarders but occasionally rubs shoulders with main event talent AND legends. Ryback also looks to be heading in that direction due to his involvement with The Miz, ok he is holding a midcard title but hes been a main eventer and has a big following, if anything he has elevated the I.C title far more than Cody aimed to do.
A few weeks of squash matches to get him known ( I hate them too but they are necessary), make sure each time he cuts a promo then have him fighting midcarders for another few weeks, getting himself DQ'd sometimes and being out and out brutal then shove him into something relevant. I don't know what yet because storylines might have changed by the time he has established himself.
My dream is for him to be involved with Heyman while still chasing down midcarders (so he is tormenting the midcard while Punk and Lesnar torment the main eventers) but I understand the likeliness of such a thing happening is low.

Assemblyman Saladino Supports Bill To Reopen State Parks
A message from Assemblyman Joseph S. Saladino
May 20, 2010
Recently, I became a sponsor of Assembly bill A.11013-A, which would require that the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation reopen and fund all state parks and historic sites through fiscal year 2010-2011. Since the inception of the park closure idea, I have been adamantly opposed to closing down the crown jewels of our state. Additionally, it is more expensive to close, and later repair and reopen a facility, than it is to keep a site open. As more families spend their summer vacations at home this year, having these parks and beaches open are especially important during this time of economic stress. During the summer months, our parks and beaches on Long Island are utilized the most. They contribute to the local economy and this is the perfect time to make sure that these parks and beaches are reopened for everyone to enjoy. It is important for the public to know that I fully support keeping Jones Beach and all of our Long Island state parks and beaches open and fully funded.

Facing service disruption isn't the only problem Wisconsin Public Service customers who are behind face.
Kelly Zagrezebski, WPSC Community Relations spokesperson said scammers are also targeting customers behind on their bills. She said they say they are from Wisconsin Disconnection Services and they threaten to cut off your utilities in just 45 minutes unless you purchase a credit card from Walmart.
Zagrezebski says that's not how it works. She said there is help available for those who are behind. The easiest way is to set up a payment plan with WPS by calling (866) 215-5812. She says waiting until near the end of the winter period when disconnects are not allowed will make it more difficult to make arrangements to keep service on.
State law bars utilities from disconnecting residential service from November 1 to April 15 annually.
Zagrezebski nearly 26,000 are four months or more behind on their bills. The colder than normal winter is to blame.

Washington, DC— U.S. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada commended the passage of the omnibus appropriations bill, which included millions of dollars in funding for Nevada priorities. In addition to funding key projects, the omnibus cuts funding to the proposed nuclear waste dump at Yucca Mountain by more than $108 million, a 22 percent reduction."This bill contains funding for important Nevada projects. Transportation, military, education, affordable housing, and health care are just some of the Nevada priorities that received funding from this legislation," said Reid. "Unlike spending bills passed during the previous Republican Congress that increase the nation's debt, this legislation is fiscally responsible and ensures the government does what every Nevada family has to: live within a budget."Below is a… Read more »

Washington , DC — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada today sent the following letter to President Bush, expressing concern about reported cuts to important homeland security grant programs and requesting adequate support for the project.

Reid: Energy Bill The First Step Toward A Global Energy Revolution
Washington, DC—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada made the following statement today as Congress sent President Bush an energy bill that raises fuel-efficiency standards for the first time in more than 30 years and strengthens our national security, economy and environment: "Democrats are committed to creating a long-term energy strategy, and this bill is an essential step in that direction.

Reid Works to Improve Health Care for Nevada Children, Seniors, People with Disabilities
Washington, DC— U.S. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada today commented on the passage of the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 that will strengthen health care for Nevadans."This legislation will help ensure that our health care system can keep working for Nevadans who need it most — including children, seniors, and people with disabilities," said Reid. "While I would have liked to do more on Medicare, this bill temporarily stops the scheduled 10 percent Medicare payment cut to Nevada doctors for treating Medicare patients. Instead, they will be provided a modest increase until Congress can revisit the issue next year. For seniors who depend on Medicare to get their rehabilitative care, the bill extends a special rule that… Read more »

Reid: FISA Bill Deserves Ample Debate
Washington, DC—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada made the following statement today regarding the FISA bill: "The Senate is committed to improving our nation's intelligence laws to fight terrorism while protecting Americans' civil liberties.

With more than a dozen amendments to this complex and controversial bill, this legislation deserves time for thorough discussion on the floor. "We will consider this bill when we return in January.

LAWRENCEVILLE - Police have arrested a man on charges he married six women.Alvin Lorenzo Murdock, 37, was charged with five counts of bigamy because at least one of the marriages appears to be legal, according to Gwinnett police spokesman Cpl. Darren Moloney. "All of his 'wives' are from different parts in Africa," Moloney said. "We believe the motive was for Murdock to help these women to become U.S. citizens." Moloney said the police were told of the case by Superior Court Judge Michael Clark. Clark did not return a phone call Wednesday. In addition to the bigamy charges, Murdock is facing a charge of possession of marijuana stemming from a pat-down during his arrest, Moloney said. Warrants had previously been issued for Murdock on two counts each of aggravated assault and cruelty to children from a separate incident, Moloney said. Murdock, who lives at 6464 Summit Point Apartment F in Norcross, was being held at the Gwinnett County Detention Center.

Shooter released without bailSeptember 17,2013Charges denied
in gun incident
A Danby man was released into the custody of his father Monday after he was arraigned on charges related to an event Saturday in which he allegedly fired three shots into the tailgate of a pickup within a foot of his stepfather.
Judge Theresa DiMauro allowed David L. Hall, 27, to be released without bail after pleading innocent on charges of first-degree aggravated domestic assault with a weapon, possession of stolen property, and unlawful mischief.
Deputy States Attorney Rosemary Kennedy argued that Hall, who was held in the Rutland jail on $25,000 bail over the weekend, should have some form of bail imposed.
Hes facing a serious felony, Kennedy said.
DiMauro released him with a list of conditions including a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew.
Prosecutors say Hall is accused of showing up at his stepfather and mothers home, and after getting into a fight with his stepfather, Trevor Davenport, fired three shots into the tailgate of a pickup less than one foot away from the victim.
Davenport told officers he snatched the rifle from Hall and broke it against a pillar and then threw Hall to the ground twice before telling him to leave the property.MORE IN This Just InIRASBURG - Vermont Fish and Wildlife wardens have accused a couple of running an elaborate deer...

Ben Gleib emails and asks if his interview with City Pages can be done earlier than originally scheduled. He's been up all night, following a huge show at the Hollywood Improv. Exhausted but still giddy, he says, "The lineup was pretty epic. The order of the last five comics was Drew Carey, Dan Tosh, myself, Dane Cook, and Joe Rogan. It was really fun, jam-packed, sold out, and they had to turn people away." That Gleib moves in such comedy circles is not surprising. "The thing I've always been best at is comedy," he admits. "I don't have any other marketable skills. I've just liked making people laugh since I was literally five years old. My parents never made me turn off my TV until I wanted to, so I was staying up watching Johnny Carson and Saturday Night Live." In college, after hosting a successful talk show, he decided standup would indeed be his career. These days he likes to joke about everything from politics to social protocols, like so-called girly drinks. "I think it's weird that men can't drink delicious drinks," he says. "Why? There's no reason. I'm a man, so I like the taste of beer and whiskey, but you know what else I like the taste of? Strawberries."

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - Students in Haiti are venting their frustration at the government over classes being canceled because public school teachers are on strike in a wage dispute.
Hundreds of high school students marched near the National Palace in the capital Wednesday. Many of the students were in their school uniforms as they blocked traffic and hurled rocks at police.
Teachers have refused to show up for three consecutive class days because they have not received a wage increase approved by the government.
Education Minister Nesmy Manigat said teachers' will be going up from 30 percent to 50 percent but not until after the Senate approves a new budget.
Manigat is urging teachers to return to work, noting that national exams are just weeks away.

Pearl of China (Bloomsbury), Anchee Min's latest novel, is a fictional account of the life of Pearl S. Buck, the daughter of an American missionary who was raised in China and went on to win the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize in Literature. The tale is told from the point of view of Willow, Buck's childhood friend as imagined by Min, and chronicles their friendship against the backdrop of an increasingly tumultuous early- and mid-20th-century China. The pair is torn apart when the Boxer Rebellion arrives in their rural town, and later as the Cultural Revolution cuts China off from the outside world. Min's narrative is most fascinating as we watch her characters—especially the Christians converted by Buck's father—negotiate the conundrum that is Mao's China. Up becomes down and down becomes up as they attempt to hold on to their faith under the increasingly oppressive regime. Min, born and raised in Communist China, was forced to denounce Pearl S. Buck in school. The experience, it appears, only sparked curiosity about the woman who became Min's heroine. (Photo by Naishi Min)

I believe the photos in question are from 1995, after Maharaj was no longer the Headmaster of the Vrindavan Gurukula. At the very most, they are photos of abuse from other teachers, after Dhanurdhara Swami had left the gurukula but was suppossedly still influencing there around 1995. I am also eager for a clarification on this accusation against Dhanurdhara Swami as it is amoung the most extreme to date. If our leaders are going to make such statements in public forums they need to back them up. These photos were not and still are not part of the official case files as far as I am aware. Someone please immediately correct me if I am wrong.
Yours in the service of Srila Prahbupada,

Interim decision from the GBC executive commitee concerning Dhanurdhara Swami
Mahavidya Prabhu,
Unfortunately, scapegoating one man probably will not stop sexual abusers of children from continuting to abuse children. They can't help themselves and the only solution is that they are identified and cut off from access to our children. I'm not convinced that "hanging" this man will make my temple more safe for my son.
Thank you, Tripurari Prabhu, for such a nicely stated summary of this issue.
IS THERE A SASTRIC BASIS FOR INVALIDATING DHANURDHARA SWAMI'S ASHRAM? This is the real question. Stop him from initiating? Yes. Excommunicate him maybe? Yes, that could probably also be accomplished. But I can't understand how Tamohar Prabhu is going to somehow overthrow or invalidate Satsvarupa Maharaj's sannyasa initiation of Dhanurdhara Swami from the early 1980's.
I mean no offense to Tamohar Prabhu as I certainly support child protection to the utmost extent, I'm just hoping that we are careful how we proceed and that we have a sastric basis for our decisions.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada and the house he built in which the whole world can live.

Regarding the case file. It is not so clearly black and white what Dhanurdhara Swami requested information to not be released. I'll be very interested in hearing the exact context and details of this accusation. Maharaj's camp has been very willing over the years to share the case files and also Sadhusagananda Prabhu's defense with local well-wishers. There has never been any cover-up from his end. Frankly, most of the devotees posting in his defense have had access to this information. Actually, the entire "case file" is under the control of the CPO, not Dhanurdhara Swami. Satyaraj Prabhu has also challenged this statement by Badrinarayan Prabhu and more posts doing the same will follow shortly.
A deeper study into the case of Dhanurdhara Swami quickly reveals other issues, such as a current initiating guru with thousands of disciples who in direct opposition from Dhanurdhara Swami, intentionally reassigned known sexual abusers of children to ANOTHER gurukula while Dhanurdhara Swami traveled all over India appealing this decision through the Ministry of Education and ultimately to the GBC meetings in Mayapur. This is confirmed in Jayadwaita Maharaj's reposted letter, although it is not mentioned that this devotee is now a guru.
It is a shame that this has not been clarified, especially when NO CHARGE even close to this has ever been leveled at Dhanurdhara Swami. I wish this stuff wasn't online for the whole world to read and offer opinions on, but since it is, it will only be a matter of time before tall the facts are known.
I intend no offense to anyone with this post, but we must approach this sensitive issue with mercy and compassion for all those involved, the former students and Dhanurdhara Swami, and to do so means we have to get all the facts right.
Yours in the service of Srila Prabhupada,
Scott Wetherell

Almost Wanting The Item To BreakFebruary 24th, 2014 by Alan Yu
During boxing day I bought this new all in one printer as I definitely needed a new one and it was a good deal. I was going to switch it as soon as the toner finally dies out on my current printer. It's definitely going though as the prints are all smudged as if there is a lack of toner. I don't use it for letters that I need to send people but rather things like needing a physical copy of a receipt.
The thing is still going it seems and the funny thing is in my mind I am almost in the mindset of a "just run out already." I know most people would just toss the thing right away, but this is just one of these example where I always try to use everything up before it gets recycled. Just feels wasteful otherwise. I am not that bad though like how some people will "accidentally" break a belonging to buy a new updated model.

George Clooney, Hollywood's unofficial spokesman for everything, was among the first to pay tribute to that other great voice of a generation, Walter Cronkite.
"He was the most important voice in our lives for thirty years," the Oscar winner, who delved into the history of the CBS newsroom when he directed and costarred in Good Night and Good Luck, said in a statement Friday night.
"And that voice made people reach for the stars. I hate the world without Walter Cronkite. "
A strong sentiment, one shared in essence by many.
Christina Applegate is another celeb who had an enounter with the sonorous anchor, who died Friday at the age of 92 after a long illness.
"Had the chance to sit next to Mr Cronkite on a plane once," twittered the Samantha Who? star. "We talked the entire time. When he left he hugged me and said 'I love you' sweet."
And random, but still, very sweet.
Diane Sawyer could identify, actually.
"A call, a note, a compliment from Walter was pretty much the Nobel Prize for a young reporter," the Good Morning America host said. "I am so lucky to know what it was to be part of the Cronkite team."
Calling him the "defining anchor of America's story," Sawyer said he reminded us "of what we can be at our best."
Dan Rather, Cronkite's immediate successor to the CBS Evening News throne, called his friend and colleague a "giant of the journalistic craft."
"Walter loved reporting and delivering the news, and he was superb at both. He deserves recognition and remembrance, too, for the way he solidly backed his correspondents and producers, defending them vigorously in coverage of difficult stories such as the Vietnam War and the Watergate crimes."
Cronkite was, of course, not only the estimable predecessor of the big three, Rather, Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings, as well as the trio that followed them, including ABC World News anchor Charles Gibson.
"Walter Cronkite was and always will be the gold standard," Gibson said. "His objectivity, his evenhandedness, his news judgment are all great examples. He, as much as anyone, is responsible for developing network television news. He set the standard. He told it 'the way it is' and all of us who are privileged to work in this business owe him an enormous debt of gratitude."
"The man I grew up wanting to be," NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams called Cronkite.
"Our household, like many, came to a halt when his broadcast came on the air each night, and dinner was served only after he said good night. Knowing Walter was among the great blessings of my life."
"We were proud to work with him—for him—we loved him," added 60 Minutes warhorse Mike Wallace, 91, who helped establish the golden age of television journalism along with his dearly departed fellow newsman.

Outstanding Dedication and Exemplary Services as Biometrics Editor
Russell Millar (University of Auckland) received an award from IBS for Outstanding Dedication and Exemplary Services as Biometrics Editor, 2011-2013. He reports that the job was made all the more challenging due to the preponderance of submissions from the medical and genetics fields, and encourages active researchers in the Australasian region to continue submitting works in more diverse areas. In particular, the Biometric Practice section is ideal for works of a more applied nature if, for example, they demonstrate fresh insight from novel use of recent methodology. Russell has a paper in press with Biometric Practice, on using a modified deviance information criterion for comparison of Bayesian state-space models.
Russell has initiated a Bayesians' research group, hosted by the University of Auckland (www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~BRG/). The obvious name for it was Bayesianz! At present it is running an active fortnightly seminar series. A topic of discussion at the November NZSA meeting will be how best to make Bayesianz a group of relevance and benefit to all Bayesian researchers in New Zealand.

Prof Brian Hayman died age 87 - formerly Professor and Head of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Massey University
Professor Brian Hayman passed away peacefully at Wellington Hospital on 15th August 2014, after a short illness, at age 87. Brian retired at the end of 1988 as Professor and Head of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Massey University. He was President of the NZSA in 1969. Click here for an item by Dick Brook about Brian just before Brian retired from Massey.
Brian's funeral service will be held at Kapiti Coast Funeral Home Chapel, 9-11 Hinemoa Street, Paraparaumu, at 11am on Thursday, 21st August.
His death notice is: http://deaths.dompost.co.nz/obituaries/dominion-post-nz/obituary.aspx?n=brian-ivanhoe-hayman&pid=172120627&fhid=12720
Harold Henderson notes, "Brian was on the enrolment desk in 1971 when I turned up to register for my first year at Massey. He directed me into the statistics/computer science paper, which I had not thought of doing. This chance encounter with Brian set the course for my career in statistics".
And Jennifer Brown also notes "My statistics career was also a chance conversation with Brian – he was the Head of Department when I started taking statistics papers out of interest extramurally through Massey (I was in Rotorua at FRI then). He pointed out that with a bit more structure to my programme of study I could aim for a PG Diploma which I did. This eventually led me to enjoying statistics so much that I resigned from my job and studied for a PhD. It was only that chance meeting and the fact he spent time talking with me changed everything. I am so grateful for this."
The founding head of Mathematics and Statistics Department at Massey (PN) died on Friday. He was the first Professor of Mathematics at Massey, and his position became Professor of Statistics on my appointment as the former in 1986. He served 25 years in the Headship role. He was followed as Professor of Statistics by Jeff Hunter. Brian held very strong views on the role of Statistics, which he espoused at every opportunity. Although we often differed on this, he and I remained good friends. His goal of a separate Department happened after he retired when it was created under a Federated School which was the forerunner of IIMS. He was a very efficient Head of Department for all of that time and had his finger on the pulse. Most importantly he was always available to help colleagues and students. He was noted as tutoring students on a one-to-one basis very regularly: for example, He was known to visit extramural students everywhere…one of note was an inmate at Manawatu prison.
At the end of my second year as a mathematics undergraduate at the University of Canterbury I was able to spend the summer working as in intern with Brian Hayman in the DSIR Applied Mathematics Division branch at Lincoln. I had no knowledge of genetics but Brian gave me a small book by H. Kalmus to read, and suggested a straightforward extension of his work on the algebra of mixed mating systems for me to investigate. This was my introduction to the field I have worked in ever since, and my first exposure to the satisfaction of research. I had an outstanding researcher as a mentor.
Brian later introduced me to Clark Cockerham at North Carolina State University, who accepted me as a graduate student. With my newly minted PhD I sought academic positions in New Zealand, and Brian once again came to my support with an offer. My years in Palmerston North, 1970-76, in Brian's department at Massey had two major effects: I met my wife Beth and we both met the people who are still our friends 45 years later.
Brian was a major figure in statistical genetics, and his generosity in guiding a very junior undergraduate has served as a model I have tried to follow ever since.

I dont support completely open borders. I do support a vastly easier and more permissive immigration system. I think having fresh labor, skilled and unskilled, helps the economy. Albert Einstein was an immigrant. Sergey Brin was an immigrant. Our country is built on these types of people and no one ever accused Einstein of taking someone's job. We are all from immigrants and that's what makes this country special.

Google Glass hasn't even hit an official consumer release (although bleeding edge tech enthusiasts can beta test it… for a price) and already the headset has hit another roadblock. Google's smart eyewear seems to have found itself banned from one of the biggest events of the year: San Deigo Comic-Con.
Well, to be fair, the wearable has been authorized for use on the showroom floor, but in an email recently sent out to Comic-Con attendees, the Comic-Con International board is letting everyone know "Google Glasses" cannot be worn or used at any time during any of the show's panels. This is typically where movie companies show off very confidential new trailers and it seems anywhere where camera recording is prohibited — the same goes for Google Glass whether powered on or off.
"Google Glasses/Video Recorders/Camera Phones
Remember recording of footage on the screens during panels is prohibited. This includes Google Glasses. You cannot wear Google Glasses during footage viewing in any program room. If your Google Glasses are prescription, please bring a different pair to use during these times."
It makes sense. Where, in most cases, it's easy to spot someone recording video footage with their smartphone or camera, Google Glass is far more discrete with its always forward facing camera lens. Comic-Con recommends anyone who is planning on wearing prescription Google Glass bring an spare set of specs for the panels if they hope to see everything clearly.
