4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo
At the 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, November 2-4, 2009, being held in the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA, more than 1,500 delegates will find out how cloud computing is transforming the way that enterprises everywhere build and deploy applications. Now held three times a year - in New York, Prague, and Santa Clara - the Cloud Computing Conference & Expo series is the fastest-growing Enterprise IT event, devoted to every aspect of delivering massively scalable enterprise IT as a service. The event is co-located with our 7th International Virtualization Conference & Expo.
More Than 100 Cloud Sessions by a Rock Star Faculty
4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo in November will offer 100+ technical breakout sessions, 120 speakers from 80+ leading companies, three top major industry keynotes, two Power Panels, SYS-CON.TV interviews with industry luminaries, product launches and other special events plus a 2-Day Expo Floor - there's no event with a technical program as wide and deep. If you're already a Cloud player - or would like to be - this is the one event to attend this year.
"Bringing the Economics of the Web to Enterprise IT Through Cloud Computing" is the conference theme and our organizing principle is that through our intensive three-day schedule of keynotes, and general and breakout sessions, attending delegates will be assured of leaving the Conference with abundant resources, ideas and examples they can apply immediately to leveraging the Cloud, helping them to maximize performance, minimize cost and improve the scale of their endeavors.
Cloud Computing Bootcamp Returns
SYS-CON's pioneering Cloud Computing Bootcamp is a one-day, fully immersive deep-dive into the Cloud, in which the sessions during the day seek to deal with real problems and look at alternative solutions.
The ever-popular Bootcamp, which is now held regularly around the world, is being held next in conjunction the 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo in Santa Clara, CA (November 2-4, 2009). It is led by software industry entrepreneur and Bootcamp Instructor Alan Williamson.

From the outside, this home is in pristine condition. But, according to real estate agent Amber Brixey, the interior needs some sprucing up. Some of the carpeting needs to be replaced and some paint and polish are needed for walls and floors.
Anyone willing to put in the elbow grease will end up getting a pretty solid bargain. The contemporary home offers a two-story living room, lots of custom built-ins, large bathrooms and big windows throughout. Tall trees shade the driveway and there's a community pool just across the street.

Drush: Drupal for People Who Hate Mice
(Note that ctools is a required dependency for Views in Drupal 7.)
The Drush dl command (a shortcut for pm-download) is very clever about how it downloads the modules and where it places the extracted folders. By default, it grabs the .tar.gz file from drupal.org and places folders inside the sites/all/modules directory, but you have full control (including using CVS checkouts or where the folders belong). See drush help dl for full details.
As with most tools, people develop their own habits with Drush, but here are a few built-in commands you are likely to appreciate (at least in time):
drush cc (or cache-clear): Drupal developers learn early on to "clear the cache" while developing, because Drupal aggressively caches its more complex internal data structures. Chances are good that if you're writing code, you have a terminal window nearby, and running drush cc all will ensure that when you check your latest work in the browser, you'll accurately see the most recent changes.
drush cron: the Drupal installation guide (INSTALL.txt) recommends running Drupal's periodic maintenance tasks by adding a crontab entry that uses wget to fetch http://example.com/cron.php periodically. In Drupal 7, this now requires a generated "cron_key" parameter as part of the URL to inhibit nefarious requests. Using Drush eliminates the need for the key and avoids tying up a Web server process to do periodic maintenance.
drush up (or pm-update): this command checks drupal.org for new releases for all installed modules and offers to download all updates and run the database upgrades for you. It even handles that pesky, easily forgotten "backup first" step.
Running drush help in your Drupal directory always will give you the list of currently available commands (based on modules installed and so forth). For more information on each command, run drush help <command>.
You may have noticed that we ran our drush commands above from inside the Drupal install directory. This allows Drush to determine which Drupal site (and configuration options) to use. However, for those looking for a bit more freedom and particularly those working within Drupal "multi-site" environments, you need to make use of the --root and --uri switches for Drush. This can lead to a lot of repetitive typing. If you have only a single Drupal site, you can specify these options (and lots more) by creating a .drushrc.php file in your home directory. See the example.drushrc.php file in the examples folder of your Drush installation for more details.
For those of you who work on several Drupal sites across various versions and installations, Drush provides an "alias" mechanism to define the common parameters. To create an alias for this example site here, you can create a file ~/.drush/aliases.drushrc.php containing the following PHP code:
$aliases['example'] = array( 'root' => '/var/www/example/drupal', 'uri' => 'example.com', );
Now you can run drush commands for your example site from any directory using drush @example <command> (for example, drush @example status). To make things even better, aliases can reference remote sites (accessible via SSH) by including the remote-host and remote-user options. See the example.aliases.drushrc.php file from the examples folder in your Drush install directory for full details.
With each new release, Drush includes more commands, and Drupal modules are increasingly offering Drush commands with their releases. If that's not enough (and you aren't afraid of writing some PHP), you can write your own Drush commands. The examples folder in your Drush install includes a sample command, make-me-a-sandwich (XKCD fans rejoice!), for those interested in learning more.
One of the greatest testaments to the power of Drush is the Aegir Hosting Platform (see Resources), which provides a mass-hosting environment (with support for multiserver installations). Although it includes a Web interface, Aegir does all of its heavy lifting via custom Drush commands.
If you work with Drupal and hate using your mouse (or prefer your terminal), Drush can save you countless hours of clicking and open a whole new world of scripted Drupal tasks.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

text: The whole goddamn premise of Batman as a character is total BS if you really want to get into it. The idea that just because a billionaire has rage and karate training means he can take down an empire of crime that runs a city is absurd. I'm willing to overlook that major stumbling block to enjoy a movie/comic for what it is. Set in the real world or not. . .there's certain things you have to accept. One of those is that a guy can jump several floors down in a parking structure with such force that it smashes a vans roof (as in the first one). Another is that a guy can fly through the air reaching likely speeds of 100mph+, crash through a window, somersault in through a window, and fight off guys with machine guns (like he did in the second one). In fact, a lot of the most believable **** happens in the third one if you compare it to the first two.

MA hospitals promise openness, apologies
The Boston Globe, April 18, 2012
Seven Massachusetts hospitals plan to offer patients harmed by medical errors a prompt apology and financial settlements before they resort to lawsuits. A coalition of physician, hospital, and patient groups planned to release details Wednesday of the initiative, called "Road Map to Reform," which they predict will increase reporting of medical mistakes and cut down on lengthy litigation that drives up health care costs and fuels distrust between caregivers and patients. The plan calls on doctors and nurses to fully disclose mistakes to patients and apologize. Three large insurers and a medical group have donated about $1 million to underwrite the initial work.

New Scientist Weasels Out of Apology
New Scientist Weasels Out of Apology
Update in BOLD below
New Scientist, a publication that is generally owed high regard, is apparently trying to weasel out of apologizing to NASA scientist Gavin Schmidt for an egregious misquote by the fallen science journalist Fred Pearce.
Pearce bungled the quote in his coverage of "post normal science" workshop in Lisbon, Portugal - really a denier fest dressed up as a reconciliation attempt. As Pearce reported in his original story, "The meeting was the brainchild of University of Oxford science philosopher Jerry Ravetz, an 81-year-old Greenpeace member who fears Al Gore may have done as much damage to environmentalism as Joseph Stalin did to socialism."
If you haven't already got a sense of the organizers' bias, consider a guest list that includes "heroes of the sceptics such as statistician Steve McIntyre and economist Ross McKitrick, plus writers and bloggers such as Steve Mosher, the man who broke the Climategate story, and 'heretical' scientists such as Georgia Tech's Judy Curry and Peter Webster." (By "heretical" scientists, I'm assuming Pearce was trying to find a description for outliers like Curry who have decided to abandon actual scientific discourse in favour of playing patticake with the WattsUpWithThat crowd.)
The conceit of this event was that Ravetz would try to put these people into a room with some actual climate scientists and get them all to agree on "middle ground" - which is to say, the climate scientists would concede, by their mere presence, that there is a legitimate scientific disagreement. Game, set and match to the denier side.
Of course, no smart scientist would agree to play. With a host of others, Gavin Schmidt declined, saying, "No 'conflict resolution' is possible between the science community who are focussed on increasing understanding, and people who are picking through the scientific evidence for cherries they can pick to support a pre-defined policy position."
This sharp riposte was too clear for Pearce, who made up this response, instead: "But the leaders of mainstream climate science turned down the gig, including NASA's Gavin Schmidt, who said the science was settled so there is nothing to discuss."
When Schmidt objected to this invention, New Scientist went quiet and conspiracists and intermediaries, such as the secretive "science" blogger TallBloke offered a hosts of explanations (but no apologies) for Pearce's lack of professionalism. For full examinations of this story, you can head over to Deltoid or, for an even-more detailed dissertation, DeepClimate.
What you CAN'T do is read a clear admission that Pearce made up (or misreported) Schmidt's position and that he and New Scientist regret the error. Apparently - worryingly - they don't.
Update: Per the comment below, "Tallbloke" writes that he has, indeed, apologized to Schmidt, adding that this was the actual quote from Schmidt that left people with a "science is settled" opinion: "None of the seemingly important 'conflicts' that are *perceived* in the science are 'conflicts' in any real sense within the scientific community, rather they are proxy arguments for political positions."
I still don't read that to mean "the science is settled." I read it as a polite way of saying that the organizers of the Lisbon conference weren't the least interested in science; they were there to talk politics, or at least policy. Judging from the reports, that's precisely what happened.
But kudos to Tallbloke for extending the apology. Would that Pearce and New Scientist had as much integrity. (And please read Tallbloke's comment below, in full.)

Hi Richard,
I have written to Gavin Schmidt and apologised for my part in this episode.
I think you have misidentified the part of Gavin Schmidts response to the Lisbon Invitation which Fred Pearce paraphrased. The passage which most closely resembles Pearces paraphrase is this:
"None of the seemingly important 'conflicts' that are *perceived* in the science are 'conflicts' in any real sense within the scientific community, rather they are proxy arguments for political positions."
Dr Schmidt is entitled to his opinion. My apology letter pointed out that as an ecologically conscious person who lives according to his principles using 6Kw hours of electricity a day, I object to being lumped into some kind of amorphous group which has an identifiable and dismissable political position.
My qualification as a historian and philosopher of science makes me more concerned for the future of science than for the promotion of political stances.
Gavin could have learned a lot about the diverse range of people who have misgivings about mainstream climate science by attending Lisbon, and particularly about the concerns held by the E.U. Joint Research Council representative who attended and who spoke at the public event concluding the workshop.
Is your political stance such that you will censor rather then post this comment? I hope not.

Positive Feedback
The Issue
In schools that value good school/home relationships, parents and teachers should offer positive feedback to each other in a variety of ways.
The Solution
Creative and forward-thinking schools find ways for teachers and parents to offer thanks and congratulations to each other. There are many ways to reinforce good teaching. A flower on a desk, a note of praise to a supervisor, a potluck teacher appreciation supper or lunch, or a gift certificate for a meal -- these gestures all go a long way in making a teacher feel valued. Teachers and administrators also need to express their thanks for even the smallest contribution from parents. This might be the gift of time (as a chaperone on a field trip or a member of a telephone "chain" to send messages to one another), or a service (such as teaching the children in the class how to create a website) or the creation of teaching materials or resources (making books on tape, finding a guest "expert" to do a presentation, etc.). When parents feel that their contributions are valued by teachers, they are more likely to provide a continuous stream of support that benefits the entire school.
A great many expectations are made of teachers who are too often undervalued. Parents, too, are busier than ever, and they appreciate it when schools offer them a "menu" of valued ways to help the school. To keep the creative energies flowing, both teachers and parents need to know that their efforts are appreciated; they need to find many ways to say to each other: "Thank you for a job well done."

PHP Shell is a shell wrapped in a PHP script. It's a tool you can use to execute arbiritary shell-commands or browse the filesystem on your remote Web server. This replaces, to a degree, a normal telnet-connection. You can use it for administration and maintenance of your Web site using commands like ps, free, du, df, and more.
BUSH (Business Shell) combines the capabilities of BASH, PHP, GCC, and databases into a uniform design for rapidly building secure, reliable Web sites. Based on an ISO standard, it promotes code reuse: scripts and templates can be compiled with GCC or ported to JVM or .Net using third party tools with only minor changes. It can also replace BASH as an interactive command shell with SQL support, and is a general purpose scripting language.
Ch is an embeddable C/C++ interpreter for cross-platform scripting, shell programming, 2D/3D plotting, numerical computing, and embedded scripting. It is the simplest solution to numerical computing and visualization in the domain of C/C++. It supports the ISO 1990 C Standard (C90), major features in C99 (complex numbers, variable length arrays or VLAs, type generic functions, long long data type, etc), classes in C++, and extensions to the C language like nested functions, string types, etc. It can be embedded in other applications and hardware and used as a scripting language. C/C++ code is interpreted directly with no compilation to intermediate code. It supports Linux, Windows, MacOS X, Solaris, HP-UX, and FreeBSD.
BASP (BAsh Server Pages) is a patch against Bash for processing HTML templates (or any documents) with embedded shell scripts. The advantage is that you have full access to the shell and system environment without learning yet another programming language. This project has been merged with BashDiff.
PHPsh allows you to have shell commands run on your behalf by Web servers that serve PHP pages, and solves these issues and more. It is a simplified version of the shell that allows you to execute arbitrary commands remotely through PHP. It is a handy way to run simple commands and maintain a history of executed commands, and a helpful environment that allows you to browse the filesystem and fetch or upload files.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Brian Dozier lost track of the number of outs and got himself doubled off first base during Saturday's game in Arlington against the Texas Rangers.
In the top of the second with one out and Dozier on first, Twins batter Jamey Carroll flied out to Rangers center fielder Craig Gentry. However, since Dozier ran to second on the play, apparently thinking there were two outs, that gave the Rangers an easy double play as Gentry threw to first baseman Michael Young for the third out to end the inning.
The double play ended a 2-run rally for the Twins, and the Rangers won the game by a run in the bottom of the tenth.
Let this be another lesson for the kids at home: Always keep track of the outs.

Boeing speeds up plants for soaring demand, but can it deliver?
EVERETT, Washington
- Tweet
- Share this
EVERETT, Washington (Reuters) - As director of 777 manufacturing at Boeing Co (BA.N), Jason Clark is busy overseeing more than 3,000 factory workers who build seven of the $300 million airliners every month.
He's about to get a lot busier.
On Tuesday, that production rate rises to 8.3 a month. It may seem a small step, but the 20 percent gain is key to competing with rival Airbus, and rewarding shareholders.
Standing on a platform two stories above the shop floor, Clark gestures to a machine drilling holes in a 777 fuselage. "It used to be all hand-drilled," he says. "Now it's automated."
Boeing is speeding up its factories to produce jets quicker than the past. It's a race to turn a record backlog of more than 4,000 orders into revenue and profit - something airlines and investors will be watching when Boeing posts third-quarter results on Wednesday.
But the effort faces significant challenges. Can Boeing get enough parts and people? And can it outmaneuver to win orders from Airbus, which also is lifting production?
On the same day Boeing speeds up the 777 line, for example, Airbus is inaugurating a new factory in Toulouse, France, for its A350 jet, a competitor to the 777 and 787.
"Boeing and Airbus are trying to soak up all the demand out there and make it difficult for competitors to get in," said Jason Gursky, an analyst at Citigroup in San Francisco, referring to Canada's Bombardier (BBDb.TO) and the Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (Comac) CMAFC.UL, which are developing rival jets.
Airlines want new, more fuel-efficient planes to offset high fuel prices that crimp profits. They also are clamoring for Boeing and Airbus to design even newer versions to make fuel go farther and to replace aging fleets.
Investors, for their part, want Boeing's lagging stock to head higher. Even though Boeing has posted solid profits, its shares are turning in their worst performance in 40 years, measured from the low point of the down cycle, said Carter Copeland, analyst at Barclays in New York. "Both in absolute terms and relative to the market," he said.
Investors are still worried about delays in Boeing's 787 program, even though production is rising. Some also fear Boeing and Airbus will flood the market with jets. Reports that General Electric GEnx engines failed on 787s and a 747, and a possible strike by Boeing engineers weighed on the stock, too.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S expect Boeing to post earnings per share of $1.12 for the quarter ended September 30. That's down from $1.45 a year ago, due to lower margin on jets, loss of defense revenue and pension funding costs. Some analysts think Boeing will beat $1.12 for the quarter.
Analysts say the production ramp up will generate mountains of cash that could prompt Boeing to buy back shares and raise its dividend. Gursky said Boeing's board could raise the payout 20 percent in December, and start buying back shares next year.
But Copeland says the company must be confident it can lower costs on the 787 before it will return cash to shareholders.
While the 777 increase is critical - it is among Boeing's most profitable planes and its second-biggest cash cow after the 737 - it is only part of the strategy. Output of 737s is due to hit 38 a month in February, up from 35 currently. By March 2014, that rate is due to climb to 42. There is talk the company could try to reach 63 a month after that. Officially, Boeing would not comment on that rate. But by then the company expects to have three lines capable of producing 21 a month.
The two 787 lines, one in Everett and one in North Charleston, South Carolina, are scheduled to produce a combined five jets a month by the end of the year, and 10 a month by the end of 2013. The 747 and 767 production is not changing.
Stock investors usually track new orders and use those to gauge the company's prospects. But with Boeing and Airbus delivering more jets, Gursky says that thinking should change.
"Don't focus on orders," he advises investors. "Focus on execution."
Faster production poses risks, however. Suppliers must be able to keep pace and some, such as Spirit Aerosystems (SPR.N) of Wichita, which builds 737 fuselages, could demand higher prices if it has to expand to meet Boeing demand.
"We've heard Boeing talking about 60 planes a month," said Bob Brewer, Midwest director of the engineering union Speea. "That's certainly going to have Spirit take a look at how they're going to provide that many planes a month."
Spirit did not respond to requests for comment.
A slowing economy could hamper production, as could shifts in oil prices. If oil falls below $70 a barrel, airlines often delay ordering new planes because old ones are fuel-efficient enough, Gursky of Citigroup said. If oil climbs above $130, airlines aren't profitable and can't afford new jets.
Clark's 777 assembly line shows how Boeing is speeding up factories: automation. The jet, which entered service in 1995, is mostly built by hand. Nearly 1 million rivets hold the wings together, and many are still hand-installed. The clattering rat-a-tat of rivet guns, echoing in the factory, belies the detailed training required so rivets lie flush with the wing surface and don't create aerodynamic drag that cuts fuel efficiency.
Boeing has started using a machine to drill rivet holes. It also is adding robotic arms in a paint room, and making other changes. Some parts of the line already are up to the 8.3-a-month rate. It used to take three and a half days, for example, to join fore and aft fuselage sections and set the plane on its wheels.
"It now takes us less than 24 hours," Clark said.
Another improvement: flat screen TVs show the status of hundreds of processes. Clark points to one showing "82%" in red letters. Something is running 12 percent behind schedule. "We have to work some issue there," he says.
The 787 line has added a temporary "surge line" in Everett, to help it increase production. The first 65 planes, worth about $13 billion at list price, required work after they left the factory. Several have already gone to customers, and about four dozen are at a "modification center" in Everett.
The 737 line has a new system for working on wings that is so secret, company officials wouldn't let it be photographed for this article. The 737 factory is building a third production line for the 737 MAX, next generation jet. And Boeing is tearing up the concrete floor of the factory to install new machinery.
"We're doing that construction while we're still building 35 planes a month," said Eric Lindblad, vice president of the 737 manufacturing operations. "That's a lot of logistics coordination."

"As our Mountaineer fans get to know the other members, I think they'll find a lot of commonality. WVU is a big flagship public university, a land-grant university serving largely a rural constituency. That's a very apt description of most of the schools in the Big 12. Iowa State, that description applies. The two schools in Kansas, Kansas and Kansas State, that applies. The two schools in Oklahoma. Or Texas Tech."
"I'll say this: Had we remained in the Big East, more than likely we would have been in some sort of western division. The schools in that division are awfully far from Morgantown, in fact much further than the Big 12 schools.
"That's San Diego State, Boise State, SMU, Houston and Memphis. More than likely we would have been in that division with our friends from Louisville. The travel would have been just as bad, if not worse."
"You'll find very good academic institutions [in the Big 12] - institutions driven by research. I told my school president, Jim Clements, we have a tremendous opportunity on the research side to align ourselves with the University of Texas or the University of Oklahoma.
"We all know the Marcellus Shale deal is something we want to take advantage of in our state. Also we want to be environmentally sensitive as we begin the process of drilling. There are great carbon-based institutions like Texas or Oklahoma or others where we can find some real synergies in terms of research."
"After the departure of Pitt and Syracuse, I think Big East basketball will take a little bit of a hit. I can tell you Bob Huggins is very excited. When things looked like they may go south before the formal invitation to the Big 12, Hugs called me up and wanted to know what he could do to make sure the move was successful."
"In football, it will change a little bit. But I think it will change in an additive sense. We'll maintain our foothold in Florida. I think we'll maintain our presence with kids from the D.C.-Baltimore-New Jersey-Pennsylvania-Ohio areas. But I think one thing we'll add is Texas. We had four or five in this most recent class.
"I don't think our recruiting will change much in basketball, but I also think Coach Huggins will do what he did at Cincinnati. If you go back, he recruited a number of high-profile players out of Texas, like Kenyon Martin from Dallas."
"I firmly believe this move to the Big 12 can be a real benefit of the recruiting of students - not student-athletes - to WVU. As we move into the Big 12 and make ourselves known, we'll have a chance to recruit a lot of very good students. Texas exports more college students than any state in the country."
"I think it very well could continue. The Big 12 shouldn't do what the Big East did, which was sit there and be satisfied with eight teams."

SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn. — Tim Moore is coming home.
The former South Pittsburg all-state offensive lineman, who has been a part of state championships staffs at other schools, has returned to take over the football team at his alma mater.
"It's very exciting for me to know I'm coming back to coach on the field where I used to play," Moore said. "It's one of the most solid programs there is, and that's always a valued job for any coach. I was interested in it the first time it came open, but my father-in-law had been ill and I didn't find out until after the application deadline had passed. So when it came open again, I was thankful to have another chance to apply.
"I'm looking forward to getting to know the guys and continuing the tradition the program has built."
The 1978 South Pittsburg graduate played at Vanderbilt University and has spent much of his professional career in the mid-state, coaching at Battle Ground Academy, Franklin Road Academy and most recently La Vergne High School.
He began his coaching career at Livingston University, where he worked as defensive coordinator and defensive line coach from 1985 to '90. He then spent 15 years at BGA, first as defensive coordinator, where he helped the Wildcats win three state championships (1995, '97, '98) and finish runner-up once ('92) and then won two more state titles as BGA's head coach (2001, '03) and had one runner-up finish as well ('02).
"The biggest reason I'm excited is that Tim is a South Pittsburg person, so he understands our history and tradition and how important this program is to the community," said athletic director and previous coach Vic Grider. "Everybody will feel real comfortable having him in charge of our football program.
"He's a proven, quality head coach with a ton of experience at a very high level. We wanted somebody with championship experience and head coaching experience, and the fact Tim has those things and is a guy who loves this school and the community was a huge bonus for us."
Moore will be only the fourth head coach in the past 50 years, starting with Grider's father, the late Don Grider, who won one state title and finished runner-up three times from 1969 to '92. Danny Wilson, who is still a member of the faculty, coached from 1993 to '96, winning one state title, and Vic Grider took over in 1997, averaging 11 wins and winning three state titles with two runner-up finishes in his 16 years.
The school announced the hiring of former Calhoun defensive coordinator Ricky Ross in late January, but he resigned less than two months after accepting the job. Grider said the school received more than 100 applications when the job reopened.
"It's been a trying time for our fans because they were concerned about the program and when we were going to name a new coach," Grider said. "That just shows how much it means to so many people around here. But we felt good about where we were headed with this and we haven't missed a beat, because our staff has been overseeing workouts, and now we've got our guy in place before spring practice starts on Monday."

PLATTSBURGH — Herbert E. Ryder, prominent local businessman and entrepreneur, loving husband, father and grandfather, passed away on May 18, 2013 at CVPH medical center. Herb was born in Syracuse, N.Y., on July 20, 1940 to Herbert and Anna Louise (Klept) Ryder. Herb spent most of his youth in Geneva, N.Y., and graduated from Geneva High School in 1958. Herb married his high school sweet-heart Carol Lynn Thomas and he attended Indiana University and Erie Technical College to become a licensed optician.
Herb and his family moved to Plattsburgh in 1965 where he opened his business, "The Spectacle Shoppe". He later expanded and in 1987 opened a second store in Malone as well. Two of his children, Thomas Ryder also an optician and Gretchen Ryder Spittler, an optometrist joined him in what truly became the family business.
Always outgoing, happy and friendly, Herb was very active in the community. Over the years, Herb coached little league, was active in the Plattsburgh City School District and was an Alderman for the City of Plattsburgh. He served on the board and as an officer of the Vilas Home for over 20 years. Herbert was a life time Elk and served as a director for BPOE 621. Concerned with the local development and business environment for Plattsburgh, he developed the Margaret Street Mall and later served on the PARC board. He was also on the board of Mater Dei College, and was instrumental in starting a program for training opticians there. As a Chapter President and Director of the New York State Society of Opticians, Herb continued throughout his life to contribute to the professional standards, codes and examination criteria for his profession.

Dr. Laskowski: The abdominal crunch is one of the most common exercises used to train the abdominal muscles. The abdominal crunch targets the abdominal muscles, which are part of your core muscle group. The stronger your core muscles, the easier it is to do most physical activities and sports.
Nicole Krupa: There are many ways to do an abdominal crunch, but proper technique will give you the most benefit. To isolate your abdominal muscles, lie on your back with your knees slightly bent. Make sure your feet are planted firmly on the floor and about hip-width-distance apart. Keep your knees comfortably apart. Fold your arms on your chest and tighten your abdominal muscles. Raise your head and shoulders off of the floor. Hold for three deep breaths, then return to starting position. You'll feel tension in the muscles in your abdomen.
When you're doing abdominal crunches, don't clasp your hands behind your head. This puts your neck at risk of injury and prevents you from effectively isolating the abdominal muscles. Keep your movements smooth and controlled. Visualize your bellybutton moving up toward your pelvis. Do as many repetitions as you can with good form. Stop when your form begins to suffer.
Remember, for best results, fold your arms on your chest and let your abdominal muscles do the work.

The new Acer C7 Chromebook is an ideal additional laptop for families, students and business people that need a fast, easy and secure way to get online to do their computing in the cloud, such as using Gmail, keeping up on social networks, shopping, and paying bills.

Laura Nyro. The Biography Channel website. 2014. Available at: http://www.biography.com/people/laura-nyro-17178856. Accessed Mar 11, 2014.
Laura Nyro was born on October 18, 1947 in the Bronx, New York. Nyro began singing as a teenager, in New York subways and streets. She would eventually receive a record contract that led to a performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. After a brief retirement, she returned to recording before her early death from ovarian cancer in 1997.
"I don't think you should categorize yourself as an artist."
Early Songwriting Career
Laura Nyro was born as Laura Nigro on October 18, 1947 in the Bronx, New York. Nyro was the daughter of Gilda Mirsky Nigro, a bookkeeper with the American Psychoanalytic Association, and Louis Nigro, a piano tuner and jazz trumpeter. Nyro showed an early interest in music and started composing songs at the age of 8. She attended the High School of Music and Art in New York at the same time as fellow singer-songwriter Janis Ian.
As a teenager, Nyro often sang doo-wop in New York subway stations. As she later wrote, "I would go out singing, as a teenager, to a party or out on the street, because there were harmony groups there, and that was one of the joys of my youth. I mean you could just go out and sing. If I look back now, all these years later, I must have had a spiritual, holistic feeling from all of that."
At age 17, she wrote the song "And When I Die," which she sold to the famous folk group Peter, Paul and Mary for $5,000. In 1966, she won a record contract of her own after auditioning before record company executive Artie Mogull, who had earlier signed Bob Dylan to his first major-label contract. Having long experimented with various stage names, she released her 1967 debut album, More Than a New Discovery, under the name Laura Nyro, which stuck as her professional name. That same year, she performed at the famous Monterey Pop Festival. While Nyro believed that her performance at the festival had been a failure and, subsequently, rarely performed in large venues, documentary footage of the concert shows that the crowd actually responded quite enthusiastically to her set.
After her performance at Monterey, record producer David Geffen signed Nyro to a $4 million contract with Columbia Records. This gave her more creative control over her next albums, including the two widely regarded as her best, 1968's Eli and the Thirteenth Confession and 1969's New York Tendaberry. The Columbia contract also allowed for Nyro's songs to be covered by other, more established artists such as The Fifth Dimension and Barbra Streisand.
Retirement at Age 24
In 1971, a 24-year-old Laura Nyro announced her retirement from the music business. "When I was very young," she said in an interview about her decision, "everything happened so quickly for me. I hadn't really contemplated being famous. I was writing music, I was just involved in the art of it at that young age. Then, when it all happened, I didn't know how to handle it." Her father remembered, "Laura was always very sensitive. She didn't like collaboration. She didn't like compromise. She was an artist, and she didn't like—hated—the show-biz part." Nyro took a five-year hiatus from the music business, and during that time, she married and then divorced carpenter David Bianchini.

Crazy Rollz Bubble Gum Rolls: 24-Piece Box
Pin It
Fun fact: when rolled out to its full extent, each spool of Crazy Rollz Bubble Gum contains nearly two feet of tape! That's the length of two rulers! Or the size of a small toddler. If you think about it, two feet is a lot of bubble gum. We took this idea a bit further and decided to crunch some numbers as we munched on the deliciously fruity gum (this took us a while, so luckily we also learned that two feet of gum lasts a long time!). After some exhaustive calculating, we discovered that it would take about 66 million Crazy Rollz to wrap once around the world!
And if you ask us, that seems like a perfectly reasonable amount of Crazy Rollz to have lying around. Be right back, we've got some world-wrapping to do.
Assorted Flavors include:
Sour Apple
Tutti Frutti
lue Razz
Roll Diameter:
2 Inches
Unit Price = $0.35/roll.
Display box contains 24 Crazy Rollz Bubble Gum Rolls.

The 2011 World YoYo Contest Winning Routines
Meh, Rygar could do that.
Note: Just hit the jump and watch the video, you won't not be impressed.
Ever wonder what kind of dedication it takes to win a world yo-yo championship? This kind. The kind where, if a trick goes wrong, you could f***ing choke yourself out. This is Shinji Saito performing his 1st Place 2A division-winning yo-yo routine at the recent 2011 World YoYo contest (last year's winner HERE). It's what we call in the business 'INSANE'. "Holy shit, GW's into psychiatry?" No, but I did hypnotize a friend with a yo-yo once. I was all, "you are getting sleepy, veeeeeeeeeery sleepy." Then I put my hand on his crotch and he punched me.
Hit the jump and at least skip around for a little bit, it really is nuts. Also posted the 1A winner, which is equally (if not more) impressive, just not as dual yo-yo'y. Also, follow the Youtube link for a ton more from this year's competition if you're interested.
Yo-Yo Master of the Day [thedailywh.at]
Thanks to Shannon, who once walked the dog so hard the string broke and her yo-yo rolled down a storm drain. That...sounds like the beginning of a really sad movie.
This is gallery of Middle Earth's Moria faithfully recreated to scale in Minecraft. No clue how long it took, how many people it took, or what they could have accomplished if they were doing something more productive, all I know is it's pretty impressive and I couldn't have do... / Continue →
