Real results
SIBRA GmbH, a technology services provider, wanted to automate the updating of a unique identifier code for a major manufacturing client. The company needed to identify all instances of a serial number and its relationship to other data fields across more than 7,000 mainframe programs and database files. SIBRA chose IBM Rational to create an inventory of the affected applications and to perform impact analyses, gaining an overview of the quantity and complexity of the changes. In a prototype scenario, the Rational solution updated the serial number 50% faster than another vendor's tools and 10 to 20 times faster than a manual effort, keeping a vital project on time and within budget.
The INTER group, a German insurance company, made a strategic decision to implement Eclipse as the core development environment for its mainframes. The goal was to do more with fewer staff resources, and address resistance to developing on the mainframe. To complement Eclipse, INTER group chose Rational Developer for System z for its innovative approach to software development. This lets the company benefit from both the advantages of its previous software development environment and the modern features offered by Eclipse and the Rational toolset – just what its young developers were looking for.

Democrats Gain More Clout in Tallahassee
November 29, 2012 | WMFE- Democrats could have more influence in the Republican-led Florida Legislature this year. Senate President Don Gaetz appointed several Democrats to top leadership positions in the Senate and Democratic leaders say that's good news for efforts to find more bi-partisan solutions to the state's problems.
He also chose Democratic senators as vice-chairs for committees that are led by Republican chairs. That's also a departure from last year when many committees had both a Republican chair and vice chair.
Senate Democratic Leader Chris Smith applauds Gaetz for his actions.
The state house, meanwhile, looks a bit more like it did last session with all but one committee led by Republican chairs.

"The team doesn't get automatic capacity because management is mad" -- Greg Smith, agile guy
In december 2012.
Russian public figures, including Plushenko and his friends (Dima Bilan, Philipp Kirkorov, Nikolai Baskov), signed a petition to the president and the prime minister of Russia to ban St.Petersburg's city council member Vitaly Milonov, the author of the infamous law banning gay propaganda and other radical laws.
I read this quote from Johnny "My advice would be: Watch what you do when you leave the Village, don't be aggressive, don't wear a big rainbow flag fur coat. If you don't call attention to yourself, attention won't come to you" and then I thought of some of his outfits.
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
No rainbow flag fur coats there
I also liked the quote that he won't be having sex on the Metro. Good to know, Johnny.
Definition of "patriot"
Even given that second definition, AFAIK the only country with respect to which he could be a patriot is the United States. Either he misused the word, or he was misquoted. Having seen how I myself have been misquoted in the press, I would give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he does actually know what the word "patriot" means.pa·tri·ot [pey-tree-uht, -ot or, esp. British, pa-tree-uht] Show IPA
1. a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion.
2. a person who regards himself or herself as a defender, especially of individual rights, against presumed interference by the federal government.

"The team doesn't get automatic capacity because management is mad" -- Greg Smith, agile guy
It's also lazy to just finger point at low point(s) of a country's history as a way to defend another country's gross violation of fundamental human dignity.
Every nation on this planet is guilty of some sort of atrocity in their past. What needs to be looked at is how that country is currently handling past wrongs (whether it be recognizing those wrongs, making institutional changes to make sure it does not happen again, offering reparations, etc.) to see if there has been any growth on that front.
No country is perfect and hypocrisy is always going to happen. It's in human beings' nature to be hypocritical. However, people do what they can with the knowledge given and what the consensus allows them to get away with. There are things I believe my country, the U.S., is doing that are gross violations of human rights and I don't mind people brining them up any time the U.S. hosts something because these issues need to be raised. However, we are fooling ourselves if we think the IOC really cares about that. Outside of concentration camps or child labor or self-identifying absolute dictatorships, the IOC is willing to look past a lot...even now.
That said, no amount of Western nation hypocrisy is going to change the fact that the Olympics are in Russia and Russia is CURRENTLY guilty of gay rights violations and atrocities. Whether you agree with Russia or not is a different issue, but you can't deny that their treatment of LGBTQ individuals is out-of-step with what is considered modernized nations.

Of course white settlers persecuted Native Americans. That is a very well known, and very sad part of our history. Something that happened in the past does not justify something happening right now. Most Americans are ashamed of that part of our history, but we do not try to hide it. The government has made public apology to descendants, and in some cases reprirations have been paid.
There are things going on now that many Americans consider to be human rights abuses, we are not a perfect country. In fact this week a new story came out that has angered people- killing citizens thought to be terrorists without giving them a trial. It is a huge deal.
The fact that we still have issues doesn excuse inhumane actions by other countries either, everyone needs to clean up and treat people equally. (And Russia/Soviet Unioon has quite a bit of genocide in it's history, so I'm not sure what the purpose of pointing fingers here is.)
If we want to 'play' history, we had our "the trail of tears" (about which every American child learns and should learn) and you had gulags. But that's not the point. Russia has an upcoming Olympics and its treatment of the LGBT community could be in the spotlight, maybe should be in the spotlight. Perhaps scrutiny will prompt change - it often does.

But yeah, mistreating a group of people hundreds of years ago by one set of countries is no excuse at all for another country to continue to do it in the modern day.
Native Americans are full American citizens and can live whereever they would like in the US. If they wish to live on a reservation, the US has set aside areas that non-native americans cannot live on and give tax-benefits to the tribes who do live there, some tribes even choose to be sovereign governments. They are not closed off into these territories the way they were historically, they are fully able to integrate into any other area of American life. That many live in poverty and have issues with alcoholism, and poverty is hard to break free from is a different issue and one not confined only to Native Americans.I know about the apology. But they live in closed poor territories even today. And I hate every genocide in history!!!

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU and a great idea to HyVee North for having a new playroom for kids while their parents shop.

Donors Stick Around For Blood Challenge
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 09/20/2012
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - With nearly 400 donors registered, the 11th Annual Colonial Athletic Association Blood Challenge turned out to be a resounding success Thursday at Trask Coliseum.
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) once again partnered with the local chapter of the American Red Cross to conduct the event at Trask Coliseum.
Introduced in 2002 by the conference's presidents, the Blood Challenge is part of an annual competition conducted by the CAA between the league's 12 schools. It has raised 32,106 units of blood over the past decade, helping to save 96,318 lives.
The Seahawks contributed 188 units of the 5,287 total units collected last year. Delaware won the challenge for the fifth time in 2011 with 1,086 actual donors, which resulted in 1,083 productive units of blood collected.

Add me to the group of people tired of SLY. I love Meryl and Charlie and I love this exhibition, when I saw it for the first time it made a huge impression on me by how mature and elegant and romantic it was. But enough is enough. I think the program is losing its uniqueness by being used so often, not to mention the song, which was quite new at the time they first used it, got so terribly overused it's hard to listen to right now. I'm sooooo fed up with it.
Dear Charlie and Meryl, I know you have probably more important things to work on, but please, I beg you, put us out of our misery and drop SLY already. At this point we'll be happy with you skating around and improvising, as long as it's not SLY again.

YES! This moment can't be forgotten. It has to be the next thread title.

I wasn't prepared for the scream that fan lets out when D/W are announced My poor cat wasn't either, she jumped and ran out of the room
ITA! Ha, ha, I just read that the name Meryl means "bright as the sea." So, perhaps the next D/W thread title could be:
Davis & White #16 Girl with sea-bright smile, Boy with magical wizard hair
Or: Mermaid & Golden-Haired Wizard Create Magic
Or: Bring Me to Life: Mona Lisa & The Wizard with Magical Hair
They could maybe even skate an exhibition to: Bring Me to Life by Evanescence
Or, even create a FD re tale of beautiful girl in a painting brought to life by a boy with magical wizard hair.

Last edited by aftershocks; 12-18-2012 at 08:24 AM.
We're not that close to a new thread but, since I'm pretty sure Meryl's hair is also magic, I'd just go with MAGICAL WIZARD HAIR and leave it at that.
I agree with everyone else. I'd rather see DF or a resurrection of Beyond the Sea, Billy Jean, Don't Stop Me Now, etc. than see any more of Someone Like You. Especially with every other skater on earth doing Adele.
Sorry - I am so incredibly late with my congratulations to Meryl and Charlie and all their fans. But now I am saying - those were two great skates! As a Tessa and Scott fan it was difficult for me to really appreciate them when watching the competition live, but later when I rewatched in a more peaceful mood, I could fully enjoy both performances . But I must say that already when I watched both the SD and the FD live I had a feeling that they were going to win. No matter how I love Tessa and Scott's SD, I can see that as a polka Meryl and Charlie's SD is better - as many have said, they have made the polka a highlight of their dance. And that is already an advantage, even in the case if Tessa and Scott skate their SD technically just as well. As for the FD - for me, it's not quite as interesting as Tessa and Scott's FD, but it's still really beautiful (and, yes, quite emotional), and in this season's competitions so far it has looked smoother than Tessa and Scott's 'Carmen'. I won't go into reasons why that might be, but that's how it is (imho).
I also want to say - I am one of those who prefered the previous choreo/moves with the (first) bell sounds.
As for the title of this thread - I absolutely don't agree with people who say that Meryl and Charlie have no connection, no emotion, and so far. They definitely have a connection - as many people have said, it's just different from Tessa and Scott's connection.
Congratulations one more time!
I'm going to twizzle into a triple axel and spiral out of it.
I still like the idea of Charlie bringing Meryl as painting to life though.
D/W looked a lot sharper and more refined than their rivals. Some V/M fans are saying V/M gets better as the season goes on and they will beat D/W by Worlds. Not sure but V/M looked kind of out of it, similar to 2011. I was more impressed with V/M's lift than D/W's but the rest of the program was D/W all the way. I see a lot more passion and feeling in D/W which is weird since Carmen is supposed to be such great program music. There has been so much press about the Carmen program's fire and sexuality, but I just didn't see it. They looked almost bored. I don't want to jinx it but D/W was so much better than the competition. I hope this bodes well for the future year and a half.

Details are emerging about a Newtown man who allegedly secretly taped "a vast number" of women, including his underage relatives, over a span of years, according to police in Salisbury, Mass., where the man had a beach house. In addition, the man -- David Anderson, 44, of Lafayette Road -- allegedly operated a false Craiglist ad and handed out flyers designed to lure in additional victims.
In November, Newtown Police arrested Anderson for child pornography when his wife allegedly found folders of "disturbing" images on his computer, and released on a $100,000 surety bond.
Then Salisbury police arrested Anderson in early Monday afternoon, and states other than Connecticut and Massachusetts -- including New Jersey, New York, New Hampshire and Washington -- are investigating Anderson's alleged actions.
"This started in Newtown when his wife found the images, which she soon realized were captured at their house in Salisbury," said Chief Tom Fowler of the Salisbury Police Department. The images allegedly included women who had visited the house over several years. Salisbury police seized two external hard drives, and forensic labs are investing the images, says Fowler.
At the same time, say police, Anderson was active on Craiglist.
"Two things were going on," said Fowler. "He was filming these people in his bathroom. He was also soliciting women for medical 'research,' if you will, performing what he called baseline exams under the ruse he was some type of medical research student. Part of what we discovered were questionnaires [Anderson had allegedly made.]" Fowler said Anderson also allegedly traveled to New York to hand out flyers.
According to CBS News in Boston, Anderson subjected women to "invasive digital probing" and filled his house with medical equipment in an effort to appear legitimate. He would allegedly videotape the encounters, police say.
No details were available on the content of the Craiglist ads, but police confirmed that Anderson allegedly offered to pay women who responded between $25 and $50. Police ask anyone who suspect they may be victims to contact authorities.
"If there's any victims out there that may not have realized they've been victimized, we'd first determine where it took place and then get them in touch with the proper authorities," said Fowler.
