thinking about seeing them in London in September, but i am also a bit afraid they suck nowdays live...
Really great show. They played for 2.5 hours and really owned the whole night. I don't see them as coachella headliners (or playing the festival at all really), but if you're a fan and have a chance to see them on this tour, do it.
Saw them last time out and they owned it except that Stevie had a glazed drugged-up look all night. She still hit all the notes.
We were 2nd row on the floor and Mick Fleetwood looked like he was going to cardiac arrest more than a few times during the > 2 hr set.
Buckingham carried the day, as expected.
When I was a kid watching The Dance I thought Mick was the oldest drummer ever.
Wow, that's great news! Disappointed she wasn't with them at the Hollywood Bowl, figured if she made an appearance at any show, it would be that. Missed some of her songs. Sly bastards, now I'll have to see them again.
Edit: Sorry, I didn't need to quote the video, again.

Soooooo happy about this : )

working on a new album and touring fall 2014. Coachella 2015 possibly???
Saw them last June and the 2.5 hour show was indeed amazing. The whole band was very tight, with Lindsey and Mick laying down some pretty badass solos each. Christine McVie's voice and songs were well missed though. Now that she's back, I'll have to consider seeing them again if they come back to the San Diego/LA area...
Coachella '13
That is pretty delicious right there.

The one-time chief financial officer for convicted Miami entrepreneur Claudio Osorio got a lot less time in prison than his former boss.
Craig S. Toll, ex-CFO of Osorio's failed start-up company, Innovida Holdings, Inc., was sentenced Friday to four years in prison. Toll, 65, of Pembroke Pines, was convicted at trial this summer on 10 of 22 offenses, including wire fraud and a money-laundering conspiracy.
But his punishment added up to only one-third of Osorio's 12 1/2 year sentence imposed by the same judge Wednesday. Rather than go to trial, Osorio pleaded guilty to fraud and money-laundering conspiracy offenses entailing the theft of $50 million from business investors and a U.S. government grant program.
U.S. District Judge William Dimitrouleas gave Toll a significantly lower sentence than prosecutor Lois Foster-Steers recommended under federal guidelines, which ranged from 9 to 11 years.
The Fort Lauderdale federal judge noted that, despite his trial conviction, Toll was a tool of Osorio and did not receive anything from the mastermind's scheme to swindle investors — just his yearly salary of $160,000.
"This has been a nightmare for Craig Toll, but it's a fair sentence," said his defense attorney, Richard Sharpstein, who sought the lower sentence. "And we're thankful for the judge's justice."
Toll was charged with Osorio in a 2012 indictment accusing them of conspiring to fleece $40 million from 10 investors and an additional $10 million from the U.S. government between 2006 and 2011.
Osorio, who had previously worked with Toll at Osorio's Fortune 500 computer-distribution business, CHS, before it went belly-up in 2000, launched Innovida on the promise of manufacturing high-tech building panels for low-cost housing.
But Osorio did not fulfill his promise to turn a profit and instead raided the company's coffers to support an extravagant lifestyle with his wife, Amarilis, on Star Island.
One of his investment victims, Miami attorney Chris Korge, told the judge Friday that Toll was an honest person who never solicited any money from him. But Osorio, he said, stiffed him for $4 million.

by Erica Ruble, Fundraising Coordinator, Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation
I am writing this month's fundraising blog with a heavy heart. Friday, August 16th marked the 5th anniversary of the passing of my mentor and dad, Lance S. Ruble. It feels like forever since I have seen him and heard his voice, but like it was just yesterday that he passed away. The pain and sadness is still raw and real.
Reflecting on my dad's passing, I am reminded why I continue to fundraise and channel my anger and sadness into something positive. I know many of you out there in our community want to contribute to finding a cure for this disease. Whether you are a patient, caregiver, or you have lost a loved one, fundraising will not only impact your life in a positive way, but will also have a profound effect on others that can be life changing.
I have the privilege of speaking with many of you in the meso community about fundraising. I hear your concerns and uncertainty about hosting your own event and I understand them. However, it is important to remember that fundraising does not have to be a daunting project. It can be easy. When I began my fundraising efforts years ago, I wrote a simple letter about my dad and mesothelioma to send to family and friends. It was a great way to ease into fundraising because it was cost effective, there was no deadline, and it was relatively simple to get started.
There are plenty of other easy ideas to jump start your fundraising efforts. A dress down day at your workplace or school is one of them. For example, employees or students can make a contribution to the Meso Foundation and are able to "dress down" (i.e. wear jeans or a hat) in exchange for their donation. Another fundraiser that many community members find stress-free to implement is a "meso night out" at a favorite restaurant. For this type of event, you designate a specific night at a restaurant of your choice and invite your friends and family to attend. The restaurant then donates a percentage of sales to the Meso Foundation from the dinners ordered by your group. Having a captive audience in a setting like this provides a great platform to educate friends and family about mesothelioma.
One of my favorite types of fundraisers is an "event within an event." This is such a great way to get people involved, but have someone else do most of the work. The first step is to look for runs or walks in your area. After you select and sign up for the event, have your friends and family sponsor you by donating to the Meso Foundation. You can also take this a step further and organize a group of people to participate in the race or walk with you and collect contributions as a team. Our family has participated in quite a few of these. The most successful was "Lava for Lance."Here, a triathlon had already been established, set-up, and organized by a sporting event company. My cousins then recruited friends and family to participate in the triathlon. They created a team of about 16 participants and raised close to $9,000 for mesothelioma. Participating in an event within an event is a great way to raise money but not have the added pressure or expense of setting up or organizing your own event.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my job as Fundraising Coordinator is talking with meso community members and hearing how passionate and excited they are after they host an event. There is something unique about being able to take something negative, scary, and unknown like mesothelioma and create a positive experience not only for you, but for others as well. National Mesothelioma Awareness Day is September 26th, and now is the perfect time to plan your fundraiser. Please reach out to me by email, phone, or on Facebook with your questions. I encourage you to join me and the meso community and be a part of our fundraising efforts and our MISSION: CURE MESO.

Anthropology Professor Wins Grant to Advance Research on Street Children of India
Release Date: 07-28-2009
Author: Jon C. Reidel
Email: email@example.com
Phone: 802/656-8206 Fax: (802) 656-3203
As a viewer, Jonah Steinberg, assistant professor in anthropology, enjoyed the 2008 Academy Award-winning movie "Slumdog Millionaire." As a scholar, whose research focuses on the cultural and social aspects of India's street children, he took issue with the romanticization of the children's lives and the public's perception of their daily existence.
Steinberg's motivation isn't necessarily to debunk the movie's portrayal of street children in India, but rather to advance research in an area that has produced surprisingly little academic literature. A $233,654 grant from the National Science Foundation, pending final approval, will allow Steinberg, who has also conducted research in South Asia on the sociocultural aspects of globalization, to focus on street children who have run away from their rural village homes to New Delhi.
More specifically, Steinberg will study why leaving home is considered an accepted cultural practice in some villages in North India, but not other areas. He will also produce demographic surveys by district showing why runaways are more acute in some areas than others, as well as record conversations with street children to provide insight to non-profit and other organizations trying to reduce the number of runaways and better serve runaway youth.
"The movie portrayed some realistic aspects of street children's lives, but in many ways it was a distortion of reality, especially the way it made it seem easy for street children to escape their circumstances and go have fun in the city," said Steinberg, whose grant will allow him to spend almost a year of the three-year-grant in India and hire an assistant from India. "I also worry about children in India seeing it and thinking they can become a Bollywood star, but I'm not out to address any inaccuracies. My research focuses on the demographics of street children and why the circumstances around them make it 'normal' to run away. It also has an applied value that should help organizations there better deal with the issue of runaways."
Steinberg says the reasons children run away varies by region and individual case, but that abuse, poverty and a desire to escape rural life are among them. He also hopes to get a better feel for the actual number of runaways, which ranges in estimates from 30,000 to 100,000 a year. One of the reasons for the discrepancy is that many children who beg and appear poor to tourists of India aren't actually runaways, but might be begging on behalf of their families.
Steinberg's grant proposal stressed the importance of a broader dissemination of stories told by street children in their own words. By sharing these stories and accompanying research results with nonprofit organizations and policymaking institutions, Steinberg is hoping practical applications for activists, social workers and advocates working with runaways and street children will result.
In April of 2007, Steinberg arranged for more than 100 UVM students in his course "Street Children" to talk live, via digital video conferencing, with children from India who once lived on the streets of New Delhi: http://www.uvm.edu/~uvmpr/theview/article.php?id=2333. In turn, the children asked questions of UVM students, professors and two local middle school students.
"A better understanding of street children's own motives for having run away, and their experience of the process will allow for more sensitively-tailored and more contextually- appropriate policies and programs," writes Steinerg in his grant proposal. "More thorough knowledge of the trajectories that children follow and the dangers that they face in their journeys to the city may help concerned organizations provide them with better protection."

Kind Regards
THis is what I have found - I would asume that you are at 100.
How many Cloud Units do I get with my Autodesk Subscription?
Cloud Units are currenty only available through purchase of Autodesk Subscription with a stand-alone product or suite:
For example, if you have 10 seats of a Stand Alone Autodesk product (such as AutoCAD) you'll receive 1,000 Cloud Units (10seats x 100 Cloud Units per seat = 1,000 Cloud Units).
Autodesk Revit LT = stand-alone product -> 100 cloud units.
Autodesk Revit LT Suite = standard suite -> 100 cloud units.
Thanks both of you for the information.

Newark, n.J., man charged with multiple bank robberies
March 2, 2012 |
NEWARK, N.J. – Clifton E. Mosley has been arrested in connection with three Essex County, N.J., bank robberies committed in February, U.S. Paul J. Fishman announced.
Mosley, 44, of Newark, N.J., was arrested Wednesday morning by FBI agents and Newark Police. He was charged by Complaint and made his initial appearance Thursday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Cathy L. Waldor in Newark federal court.
According to the Complaint:
On Feb. 11, 2012, Mosley allegedly entered a TD Bank in Newark and handed a bank teller a handwritten note stating: "Give me all you (sic) money or I will start shooting!!" As the teller removed the money from her drawer the defendant said, "Don't give me the dye money." On Feb. 17, 2012, Mosley entered another TD Bank in Newark and handed a bank teller a handwritten note stating "Hand over the money or I start shooting." On February 23, 2012, Mosley entered a PNC bank located in East Orange, N.J., and handed a bank teller a handwritten note stating: "Put money in window NOW! No Alarm or Die (sic) Pack or We Start Shooting 5 Seconds!" All three incidents were recorded on video surveillance cameras.
Each of the bank robbery charges is punishable by a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, or twice the gain or loss from the offense.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents with the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward in Newark and the Newark Police Department, under the direction of Police Director Samuel A. DeMaio, with the investigation leading to the arrest.
The government is represented by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Constantine Soupios of the U.S. Attorney's Office, Criminal Division in Newark.
The charges and allegations contained in the Complaint are merely accusations, and the defendant is considered innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Anyone who has information which may be relevant to this case is encouraged to contact the Newark Division of the FBI at 973-792-3000.
Defense counsel: Linda Foster Esq., Assistant Federal Public Defender, Newark

Amy's Baking Company: The Kitchen Nightmare Continues
If you caught the season finale of Kitchen Nightmares, you witnessed the on-air meltdown of the owners of Amy's Baking Company in Scottsdale, Ariz., a place that specializes in pizza and baked goods (though it inexplicably describes itself as a French restaurant on its Facebook page).
If you didn't, go watch it now if you can. I even broke my unofficial self-imposed ban on watching food-based reality shows that don't feature Tanya Steel to see this one.
Caught up now? Because since the show was broadcast, it's gotten weirder.

Undercover surrealism: Georges Bataille and DocumentsIn the Paris art world of the 1920s, Georges Bataille and his journal DOCUMENTS represented a dissident branch of surrealism. Bataille�poet, philosopher, writer, and self-styled "enemy within" surrealism�used DOCUMENTS to put art into violent confrontation with popular culture, ethnography, film, and archaeology. Undercover Surrealism, taking the visual richness of DOCUMENTS as its starting point, recovers the explosive and vital intellectual context of works by Picasso, Dali, Miro, Giacometti, and others in 1920s Paris. Featuring 180 color images and translations of original texts from DOCUMENTS accompanied by essays and shorter descriptive texts, Undercover Surrealism recreates and recontextualizes Bataille's still unsettling approach to culture. Putting Picasso's Three Dancers back into its original context of sex, sacrifice, and violence, for example, then juxtaposing it with images of gang wars, tribal masks, voodoo ritual, Hollywood musicals, and jazz, makes the urgency and excitement of Bataille's radical ideas startlingly vivid to a twenty-first-century reader.

These individuals are protesting against their detention without charges and are suffering immensely for it. There is no acceptable basis for continuing to hold these persons, and Israel will be responsible if any permanent harm results. ... If Israeli officials cannot present evidence to support charges against these men, then they must be released immediately. Israel must end the appalling and unjust treatment of Palestinian prisoners and the international community needs to raise its voice and take steps to end Israel's flagrant misuse of administrative detention.
Israel has been continuously criticized for its treatment of Palestinian detainees. Amnesty International (AI) on Tuesday urged Israel to release all prisoners [JURIST report] of conscience and administrative detainees or immediately try them under international fair trial standards. Last month UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on Israel to try or release more than 1,000 prisoners [JURIST report] who had been on hunger strike to avoid health risks. Earlier the same month, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled against [JURIST report] two detainees who had been on hunger strike in their appeal seeking release from detention. During the same month, Falk expressed his concern [JURIST report] for the continued human rights violations in Israel's prisons. He called on the country to comply with the international standards of how to treat detainees.

The Please-Like-Me's: Conviction ... or Condemnation? |
Lessons Learned: Moving from Homosexuality to Holiness
Living Free Every Day® Today's Scripture Thoughts for Today Condemnation puts us under a heavy weight of guilt with no apparent way out. Conviction reveals truth to us and motivates us to confess and turn from sin. Christ does not condemn us for who we are or what we have done. He paid the price for our wrongdoing by dying on the cross. When we turn from our sin and turn to him, he forgives and totally accepts us. Our righteousness is not based on what we've done, but on what Jesus has done for us. Condemnation pushes us away from God. If you are feeling condemned by your heart or other people, it is not of God! Conversely, conviction leads us toward Godand hope. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin and draws us to reconciliation with God through Jesus Christ. (Read John 16:8)
Consider this
God may sometimes work through other people to guide you in his waybut those people will not condemn you and insist you do things their way. Prayer These thoughts were drawn from

Hello Morning
Self Titled EP
Released by Timber Carnival Records
The gentlemen of Hello Morning are no aliens to the world of music. In fact, the members separately made a name for themselves early on while performing in other bands such as Jonah, Smalltown Poets, Sappo, Boy Eats Drum Machine, and Chris Robley & the Fear of Heights. But it wasn't until 2007 that they finally came together to form Hello Morning. Now, three years since the band was officially founded, the guys from Portland, Oregon have completed their self titled debut EP and are copiously equipped to make a distinct avowal.

Swing, Removable head support, 10 songs, 5 nature sounds, Overhead toys, 5-point harness
4 "D" batteries
Having your baby snuggle in close feeling secure and loved is one of those moments you cherish as a parent, but for those times when you're running on empty and still need to get things done, the Graco Sweet Snuggle Baby Swing - Oasis will still give your infant that sense of security you both need while freeing you up to attend to other matters. This swing adapts to your baby's individual preferences by providing a bevy of distinct personal settings. Ten different songs, five different nature sounds, four seating positions, and three reclining positions as well as multidimensional movement from front to back and side to side, all ensure that your baby will find a combination that is right for him or her.
The feeling of safety your little one experiences in this swing will show your love and concern even when you can't be the one to snuggle close. The deep seat, removable head support, and five-point harness with soft fabric covers will keep baby comfy cozy and will give you that peace of mind that allows you to focus on cleaning, writing bills, or even catching a little shut eye of your own.
Whether baby is lulled to sleep in the swing by its soothing motions and sounds or stimulated by its music and overhead toys, your little one is sure to build meaningful skills. Learning to soothe oneself away from parents helps lay a foundation for self-confidence through self-reliance while generating more energy to learn and grow during awake periods. And when you and your baby aren't looking for rest, the ten songs and overhead plush toys engage children tactilely, aurally, and visually, providing positive multidimensional stimulation that will develop dexterity, independent learning, and intelligence.
About Graco
When Russell Gray and Robert Cone joined forces in 1942, baby products were not their focus. The pair originally formed Graco Metal Products in Philadelphia, Penn. The firm created machine and car parts for local manufacturers for 11 years. Gray left in 1953, leaving Cone as sole owner, and Cone got the idea to manufacture baby products from a Graco employee, David Saint, father of 9. Inspired by the idea of Mrs. Saint soothing her babies on the backyard glider, the Graco Swyngomatic was born. The Swyngomatic sold millions, catapulting Graco to become a leader in manufacturing juvenile products in the process. Since then, Graco has set the industry standard with products like the Pack N' Play and the Travel System. Graco is one of the world's best known and most trusted juvenile products companies. Product safety, quality, reliability, and convenience are their main sources of pride, and are recognized by parents and parenting authorities alike.

Video: Michael Dunn: This was a clear and present danger
JACKSONVILLE, Florida (USA TODAY) -- The Florida man accused of killing a 17-year-old after a dispute over loud rap music testified Tuesday that he was taunted and felt menaced in the moments before the shooting.
But Michael David Dunn, on trial for first-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder, said he drove off from the gas station after firing 10 shots at the SUV in which Jordan Davis was sitting because he didn't think anyone had been hurt. He didn't learn that Davis, 17, had been killed until hours later.
Prior to the shooting on Nov. 23, 2012, Dunn said the teens in the SUV taunted him and "had menacing expressions" after he had asked them to turn down the music. He thought he saw one of them hold something that appeared to be a shotgun.
"I had every right of self-defense, and I took it,'' said Dunn, whose testimony and cross examination began shortly before 10:30 a.m., not ending until after 3 p.m.
"I was in fear for my life,'' Dunn said earlier. "I had never been threatened, let alone with a firearm. I was incredulous. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing."
Dunn is white. Davis was black. The case has drawn comparisons to the 2012 shooting death of another black Florida teen, Trayvon Martin, killed during a struggle with neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman. A Florida jury later acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder.
Dunn said he tried to remain calm behind the wheel of his car while Davis hurled obscenities and threats at him from inside a red Dodge Durango. But Dunn said Davis reached down, picked something up and slammed it against the rear-passenger door of the Durango. Dunn said he spotted about 4 inches of an object in the window frame that resembled a 12-gauge shotgun -- and their dispute over vehicle-rattling rap music escalated.
"After the continued threat of, 'You're dead, (expletive)!' now the door opens and this young man gets out. And as his head clears the window frame, he says, "This (expletive)'s going down now!" Dunn said Tuesday from the witness stand, jabbing a pointed finger.
"This is the point where my death is imminent. He's coming to kill me. He's coming to beat me," he said.
"I thought I was going to be killed,'' Dunn testified.
As he was retrieving his pistol from the glove box of his car, Dunn, 47, testified he felt the situation was "a clear and present danger."
Prosecutors have said Dunn became enraged during the dispute over loud music and fired 10 shots at the Dodge Durango. Davis and his friends were inside the vehicle at a gas station parking lot on the south side of Jacksonville.
Dunn, who broke down repeatedly during his testimony, said Tuesday that he feared not only for his safety, but for his fiancée, Rhonda Rouer, who had gone into the gas station to purchase wine and potato chips.
After firing several shots from his handgun, Dunn said he fired again into the SUV "to keep the heads down ... of three or four potential shooters."
After the SUV drove off, Dunn said he still felt threatened. "I shot at them, now, what are they going to do?"
On cross-examination, assistant State Attorney John Guy asserted that Davis was never a threat, and that Dunn merely opened fire after he was disrespected by a mouthy teenager.
Guy also said Dunn never mentioned to Rouer that he thought he had spotted a shotgun in the SUV. Dunn earlier testified he told Rouer they had a gun multiple times on the way to their hotel after the shooting.
"The truth is, you never told the love of your life that those boys had a gun," Guy said.
"You weren't there,'' Dunn replied.
Following his testimony, Assistant State Attorney Erin Wolfson called Rouer back to the witness stand. Rouer repeatedly said Dunn made no mention of a shotgun, stick or weapon in the Durango following the shooting.
Dunn and Rouer had been in Jacksonville attending the wedding of Dunn's son, Chris. They left the wedding reception early to return to their motel room to tend to their 7-month-old puppy, a French bulldog named Charley, Dunn said.
He didn't contact police that day, either.
"You have to understand, we didn't think anybody was hurt,'' he testified. "We were not in trouble with police. We might be in trouble with the local gangsters, but did nothing wrong."
The following morning, he was contacted by a Jacksonville detective. Dunn told him that he acted in self-defense.
"Again, I knew I had done nothing wrong,'' he said. He said he never thought he would be charged with murder.
Dunn is a South Patrick Shores, Fla., computer programmer, a private pilot and Port Malabar Rifle and Pistol Club member.

Multitier architecture
It has been suggested that Multilayered architecture be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since July 2013. |
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2008) |
In software engineering, multi-tier architecture (often referred to as n-tier architecture) is a client–server architecture in which presentation, application processing, and data management functions are physically separated. The most widespread use of multi-tier architecture is the three-tier architecture.
N-tier application architecture provides a model by which developers can create flexible and reusable applications. By segregating an application into tiers, developers acquire the option of modifying or adding a specific layer, instead of reworking the entire application. A Three-tier architecture is typically composed of a presentation tier, a domain logic tier, and a data storage tier.
While the concepts of layer and tier are often used interchangeably, one fairly common point of view is that there is indeed a difference. This view holds that a layer is a logical structuring mechanism for the elements that make up the software solution, while a tier is a physical structuring mechanism for the system infrastructure.[1] [2]
Three-tier architecture.[edit]
Three-tier architecture is a client–server architecture in which the user interface, functional process logic ("business rules"), computer data storage and data access are developed and maintained as independent modules, most often on separate platforms.[3] It was developed by John J. Donovan in Open Environment Corporation (OEC), a tools company he founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The three-tier model is a software architecture pattern.
Apart from the usual advantages of modular software with well-defined interfaces, the three-tier architecture is intended to allow any of the three tiers to be upgraded or replaced independently in response to changes in requirements or technology. For example, a change of operating system in the presentation tier would only affect the user interface code.
Typically, the user interface runs on a desktop PC or workstation and uses a standard graphical user interface, functional process logic that may consist of one or more separate modules running on a workstation or application server, and an RDBMS on a database server or mainframe that contains the computer data storage logic. The middle tier may be multi-tiered itself (in which case the overall architecture is called an "n-tier architecture").
Three-tier architecture has the following three tiers:
- Presentation tier
- This is the topmost level of the application. The presentation tier displays information related to such services as browsing merchandise, purchasing and shopping cart contents. It communicates with other tiers by which it puts out the results to the browser/client tier and all other tiers in the network. (In simple terms it is a layer which users can access directly such as a web page, or an operating systems GUI)
- Application tier (business logic, logic tier, data access tier, or middle tier)
- The logical tier is pulled out from the presentation tier and, as its own layer, it controls an application's functionality by performing detailed processing.
- Data tier
- This tier consists of database servers. Here information is stored and retrieved. This tier keeps data neutral and independent from application servers or business logic. Giving data its own tier also improves scalability and performance.
Web development usage:-[edit]
In the web development field, three-tier is often used to refer to websites, commonly electronic commerce websites, which are built using three tiers:
- A front-end web server serving static content, and potentially some cached dynamic content. In web based application, Front End is the content rendered by the browser. The content may be static or generated dynamically.
- A middle dynamic content processing and generation level application server, for example Ruby on Rails, Java EE, ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, Perl, Python platform.
- A back-end database or data store, comprising both data sets and the database management system software that manages and provides access to the data.
Other considerations[edit]
Data transfer between tiers is part of the architecture. Protocols involved may include one or more of SNMP, CORBA, Java RMI, .NET Remoting, Windows Communication Foundation, sockets, UDP, web services or other standard or proprietary protocols. Often middleware is used to connect the separate tiers. Separate tiers often (but not necessarily) run on separate physical servers, and each tier may itself run on a cluster.
The end-to-end traceability of data flows through n-tier systems is a challenging task which becomes more important when systems increase in complexity. The Application Response Measurement defines concepts and APIs for measuring performance and correlating transactions between tiers. Generally, the term "tiers" is used to describe physical distribution of components of a system on separate servers, computers, or networks (processing nodes). A three-tier architecture then will have three processing nodes. The term "layers" refer to a logical grouping of components which may or may not be physically located on one processing node.

RENSSELAER COUNTY, N.Y. -- The man accused of leaving dozens of dead cats behind a home in Johnsonville appeared in court on Tuesday night.
Arthur Millard has been charged with animal neglect, along with his son, Earl Millard, and sister-in-law, Mary Ryan. All three of them were in court on Tuesday.
Investigators say they were living with more than 100 cats inside a trailer in Halfmoom. More than a dozen of which had to be put down.
Arthur Millard is also accused of leaving more than 40 dead cats in plastic containers outside a Johnsonville home last week.
Investigators are not sure if those cats are connected to the Halfmoon trailer and Millard has not been charged with a crime in that case.

Athletic Training
User login
Athletic Trainers (ATs) are health care professionals who collaborate with physicians. The services provided by ATs comprise prevention, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. Students who want to become certified athletic trainers must earn a degree from an accredited athletic training curriculum. Accredited programs include formal instruction in areas such as injury/illness prevention, first aid and emergency care, assessment of injury/illness, human anatomy and physiology, therapeutic modalities, and nutrition. Classroom learning is enhanced through clinical education experiences. More than 70 percent of certified athletic trainers hold at least a master's degree.

Athletic Training & Personal Training
Athletic training is not the same profession as personal training. And certified athletic trainers work with more than just athletes – they can be found just about anywhere that people are physically active.
Athletic Trainers vs Personal Trainers
To become certified athletic trainers, students must graduate with bachelors or masters degree from an accredited professional athletic training education program and pass a comprehensive test administered by the Board of Certification. Once certified, they must meet ongoing continuing education requirements in order to remain certified.

Silesian language
The neutrality of this article is disputed. (January 2014) |
Silesian | |
Upper Silesian | |
ślōnskŏ gŏdka ślůnsko godka |
Native to | Poland (Silesian Voivodeship, Opole Voivodeship), Czech Republic (Moravia–Silesia, Jeseník) |
Region | Upper Silesia / Silesia |

Silesian or Upper Silesian (Silesian: ślōnskŏ gŏdka, ślůnsko godka, Czech: Slezština, Polish: język śląski/Polish: etnolekt śląski) is a West Slavic lect, related to Polish[3][4] and Czech. Its vocabulary has been significantly influenced by Central German due to the existence of numerous Silesian German speakers in the area prior to World War II and after, until the 1990s.[5]
There is no consensus on whether Silesian is a separate language or a somewhat divergent dialect of Polish.[citation needed] The issue is largely unanswerable based on linguistic criteria, due to the existence of a dialect continuum between Polish and Czech formed by the Silesian and Lach varieties. The issue of whether language forms like Silesian and Lach represent minority languages in their own right is generally quite contentious in Europe due to the increased linguistic and political rights generally enjoyed by speakers of recognized minority languages, and Silesian is no exception. In this instance, local Silesians tend to advocate in favor of language status, while Poles and Czechs from other regions tend to advocate against this. International linguists tend toward giving it dialect status.[citation needed]
Silesian speakers currently live in the region of Upper Silesia, which is split between southwestern Poland and the northeastern Czech Republic. At present Silesian is commonly spoken in the area between historical border of Silesia on the east and a line from Syców to Prudnik on the west as well as in the Rawicz area. Until 1945 Silesian was also spoken in enclaves in Lower Silesia, Lower Silesian, a variety of Central German, was spoken by the ethnic German majority population of that region at the time.
According to the last official census in Poland in 2011, about 509,000[1] people declared Silesian as their native language (in census 2002, about 60,000[6]), and in the censuses in Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia, nearly 0.9 million people declared Silesian nationality.[1][7][8][9]
In 2003, the National Publishing Company of Silesia (Narodowa Oficyna Śląska) commenced operations.[10] This publisher was founded by the Alliance of the People of the Silesian Nation (Związek Ludności Narodowości Śląskiej) and it prints books about Silesia and books in Silesian language.
In July 2007, the Slavic Silesian language was given the ISO 639-3 code szl.[11]
On 6 September 2007, 23 politicians of the Polish parliament made a statement about a new law to give Silesian the official status of a regional language.[12]
The first official National Dictation Contest of the Silesian language (Ogólnopolskie Dyktando Języka Śląskiego) took place in August 2007.[13]
On 30 January 2008 and in June 2008, two organizations promoting Silesian language were established: Pro Loquela Silesiana and Tôwarzistwo Piastowaniô Ślónskij Môwy "Danga".[14]
On 26 May 2008, Silesian Wikipedia was founded.[15]
On 30 June 2008 in the edifice of the Silesian Parliament in Katowice, a conference took place on the status of the Silesian language. This conference was a forum for politicians, linguists, representatives of interested organizations and persons who deal with the Silesian language. The conference was titled "Silesian — Still a Dialect or Already a Language?" (Śląsko godka — jeszcze gwara czy jednak już język?).[16]
In 2012, the Ministry of Administration and Digitization registered the Silesian language in Annex 1 to the Regulation on the state register of geographical names.[17]
Writing system[edit]
Ślabikŏrzowy szrajbōnek is the relatively new alphabet created by the Pro Loquela Silesiana organization to reflect the sounds of all Silesian dialects. It was approved by Silesian organizations affiliated in Rada Górnośląska. Ubuntu translation is in this alphabet[18] as is the Silesian Wikipedia. It is used in a few books, including the Silesian alphabet book.[19]
- Letters: A, Ã, B, C, Ć, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, Ł, M, N, Ń, O, Ŏ, Ō, Ô, Õ, P, R, S, Ś, T, U, W, Y, Z, Ź, Ż.[19]
One of the first alphabets created specifically for Silesian was Steuer's Silesian alphabet, created in the Interwar period and used by Feliks Steuer for his poems in Silesian. The alphabet consists of 30 graphemes and eight digraphs:
- Letters: A, B, C, Ć, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, Ł, M, N, Ń, O, P, R, S, Ś, T, U, Ů, W, Y, Z, Ź, Ż
- Digraphs: Au, Ch, Cz, Dz, Dź, Dż, Rz, Sz
Sometimes other alphabets are also used, such as the "Tadzikowy muster" (for the National Dictation Contest of the Silesian language) or the Polish alphabet, but writing in this alphabet is problematic as it does not allow for the differentiation and representation of all Silesian sounds.[19]
While the morphological differences between Silesian and the neighboring language of Polish have been researched extensively, grammatical differences have not been studied in great depth. One example is that, in contrast with Polish, Silesian retains the pluperfect (joech śe była uobaliyła — "I had slipped") and separate past conditional (jo bych śe była uobaliyła — "I would have slipped").
Another major difference is in question-forming. In Polish, questions that do not contain interrogative words are formed either by using intonation or the interrogative particle czy. In Silesian, questions that do not contain interrogative words are formed by using intonation (with a markedly different intonation pattern than in Polish) or inversion (e.g. je to na mapie?); there is no interrogative particle.
The Lord's Prayer in Silesian, Polish and Czech.
Silesian (Steuer spelling) | Polish | Czech |
Dialects of Silesian[edit]
Silesian has many dialects:
- Dialects spoken on both sides of the Czech–Polish border:
- Dialects spoken in areas which are now part of the Czech Republic:
- Dialects spoken in areas which are now part of Poland:
Dialect vs language[edit]
Opinions are divided among linguists about whether Silesian is a distinct language or a dialect of Polish. The issue can be contentious, because some Silesians consider themselves to be a nationality within Poland. Some linguists from Poland such as Jolanta Tambor,[20] Juan Lajo,[21] dr Tomasz Wicherkiewicz[22] and philosopher dr hab Jerzy Dadaczyński,[23] sociologist dr Elżbieta Anna Sekuła[24] and sociolinguist Tomasz Kamusella[25][26] support its status as a language. According to Stanisław Rospond, it is impossible to classify Silesian as a dialect of the contemporary Polish language because he considers it to be descended from the Old Polish language.[27] Other Polish linguists, such as Jan Miodek and Edward Polański, do not support its status as a language.[citation needed]
The Silesian linguist Reinhold Olesch supported the status of Silesian as a Slavic language.[28][29][30] Norman Davies from the United Kingdom shows Silesian among Slavic languages in a diagram at the end of his book.[31]
Most linguists writing in English, such as Alexander M. Schenker,[32] Robert A. Rothstein,[33] and Roland Sussex and Paul Cubberley[34] in their respective surveys of Slavic languages, list Silesian as a dialect of Polish, as does Encyclopædia Britannica.[35]
A similar disagreement exists concerning the neighboring Lach varieties, sometimes considered separate languages and sometimes dialects of Czech, but the latter opinion appears currently dominant.[36][37][38]
Czech Óndra Łysohorsky and his translator Ewald Osers (1949),[39][40] were interested in Lach dialects.
Gerd Hentschel wrote "Das Schlesische ... kann somit ... ohne Zweifel als Dialekt des Polnischen beschrieben werden" ("Silesian ... can thus ... without doubt be described as a dialect of Polish").[41] but, in a later scientific work - in his book Das Schlesische — eine neue (oder auch nicht neue) slavische Sprache (Silesian — a new (or not new) Slavic language?) he concludes that it's a language.[42]
Silesian has recently seen an increased use in culture, for example:
- TV and radio stations (for example: TV Silesia, Sfera TV, Slonsky Radio,[43] Radio Piekary);
- music groups (for example: Hasiok, Dohtor Miód, FEET);
- theatre[44] (for example: Polterabend in Silesian Theatre[45]);
- film (for example: Grzeszny żywot Franciszka Buły ("The Sinful Life of Franciszek Buła")
- books (for example, the so-called Silesian Bible; poetry: "Myśli ukryte" by Karol Gwóźdź)
- teaching aids (for example, a Silesian basal reader)[46]
