"I think we should avoid that temptation to do something now just because it feels good to do something," Desai says. According to him, the inversions we're seeing now are simply the unanticipated effects of the legislation passed in 2004. Increasing the requirements on foreign ownership, then, might be a salve that not only would be temporary, but would also open up problematic possibilities down the line.
In recent years, a number of U.S.-based corporations with significant international holdings have shifted their headquarters overseas in an attempt to lower their tax bills. Harvard Business School's Mihir Desai is an expert on tax policy, international finance, and corporate finance.
"While it is tempting to characterize corporate tax reform as a sop to big business, we know that the burden of the corporate tax is borne by shareholders, workers, or customers. And much of the available evidence points to the majority of the burden being borne by workers, a result that is intuitive when one compares the relative mobility of capital, labor, and products," Desai said.
Georgia-based Southwire staffed a plant with troubled teens, who proved that hard work can overcome hard knocks. In the process they pioneered a model for education reform nationwide.
"It's a remarkable win-win-win. Students are graduating, the school system loves it, the company makes money. It's mutually beneficial," says Harvard Business School's Jan Rivkin, who has closely studied the company's efforts.
Some tax experts testifying at Tuesday's hearing cautioned that narrow legislation could prove counterproductive even if it successfully deters some companies from reincorporating overseas. For instance, raising the threshold of a foreign company's ownership for inversions could prompt bigger foreign companies to get involved in the transactions. That could result in the U.S. portion of the company shifting more of its jobs overseas, including high-paying headquarters jobs, said Mihir Desai, finance professor at Harvard Business School.
Mihir A. Desai, a professor of law at Harvard University, said punitive legislation could be counterproductive.
"Legislation that is narrowly focused on preventing inversions or specific transactions runs the risk of being counterproductive," he said. "For example, rules that increase the required size of a foreign target to ensure the tax benefits of an inversion can deter these transactions but can also lead to more substantive transactions."
Mihir Desai, Harvard Business School professor, shares his thoughts on corporate tax reform ahead of Tuesday morning's Senate hearing.
American drug companies AbbVie and Mylan won't be American long if all goes as planned. Both are involved in international mergers (worth $53.6 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively) with the ultimate goal of moving their home bases abroad.
Professor Mihir Desai comments to Mark Garrison on "Marketplace."
The Indiana enginemaker believes deeply in the anachronistic idea that investing in its community is smart business. Could it be on to something?
"What they're doing is just taking an intelligent self-interest in their community rather than a selfish interest," says Harvard Business School professor Joseph L. Bower, who has studied Cummins.
Pfizer, the maker of best-selling drugs like Lipitor and Viagra and a symbol of business prowess in the United States for more than a century, no longer wants to be an American company.
On Monday, Pfizer proposed a $99 billion acquisition of its British rival AstraZeneca that would allow it to reincorporate in Britain. Doing so would allow Pfizer to escape the United States corporate tax rate and tap into a mountain of cash trapped overseas, saving it billions of dollars each year and making the company more competitive with other global drug makers.
Dorel is closing the bicycle industry's last assembly operations in the United States and shifting the work from Pennsylvania to third-party suppliers in Asia.
The long-awaited and hard-earned return to profitability at the country's largest auto suppliers, reported by the Wall Street Journal last week, reflects deep structural shifts underway in the nature and organization of advanced production in the United States.
Because of rising labor costs in China and elsewhere, the mathematics supporting offshoring of former American jobs has drastically changed for the worse, according to Harold Sirkin, senior partner at Boston Consulting Group.
Employees at Roper Corp. in LaFayette, Ga., blasted patriotic country music and waved red, white and blue pompoms while they waited for Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal to arrive Friday to recognize the plant's expansion.
U.S. auto sales continue to accelerate, posting the best July performance since 2006 as consumers flocked to dealerships to replace aging vehicles with new models at low interest rates.
By 2008, Detroit's "Big 3"—Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Chrysler—were teetering, and two required federal government assistance to stay afloat. Within three years, remarkably, the Big 3 had turned around by improving competitiveness in quality, design, and cost, as well as through strong, decisive leadership on multiple fronts and improved union relations.
Harvard Business School Professors Michael Porter and Jan Rivkin lay out policy steps for the president and Congress to follow in order to make American companies more competitive and their employees more prosperous.
After decades of sending work across the world, companies are rethinking their offshoring strategies.
Why are firms placing a huge bet on what some analysts are now calling "re-shoring"? And what factors should global managers take into consideration when they decide whether or not to bring manufacturing lines back to the U.S.?
The Chinese and Indians can plan all they want, but market forces have a way of crushing state-supported optimism. Because of its stronger social cohesion, economic flexibility and educational strength, the United States will remain the most popular haven for foreign investment.
Daniel Cunningham has a billion-dollar idea for Apple: Start building the iPhone intended for American markets in the United States. The result? A billion dollars in additional profit for the company.
How can America possibly sustain its culture of innovation when assets are so vulnerable to cherry picking by cash-rich Chinese companies? This issue — not last month's unemployment rate — should be the central issue as the U.S. tries to decide who will be its president for the next four years.
The migration of Japanese auto manufacturing to the United States over the last 30 years offers a case study in how the unlikeliest of transformations can unfold.
U.S. growth will increasingly depend on selling goods and services to foreign consumers who do not necessarily speak English. Yet American students are woefully unprepared to do that.
As we celebrate the success of the National Export Initiative and its positive impact on our economy, we must also commit to ensuring that its momentum continues. Providing more opportunities and support for U.S. companies to export their goods and services makes good economic sense--and American workers deserve nothing less.
Why are big companies not investing more in the United States? Findings from Harvard Business School's U.S. Competitiveness Project were discussed at a fascinating meeting of business leaders in New York Monday evening.
When a business school solicits alumni, it's usually to ask for donations. Last night, though, the school hit them up for something they may find harder to give: a commitment to use whatever influence they have to get their companies to invest in the local workforce, raise U.S. median wages, and support local suppliers.
Wages in China and other parts of the developing world are rising, reducing the incentive to send jobs overseas. Add in concern about quality control and shipping costs, and the result will be more manufacturing jobs created in the United States, says W. James McNerney, president and CEO of Boeing.
Professors Michael E. Porter and Jan W. Rivkin frame the HBS project on U.S. competitiveness by defining "competitiveness," assessing the state of U.S. competitiveness, and pinpointing dynamics that threaten America's competitiveness.

Honeywell partners with Habitat for Humanity to help with tsunami relief
$500,000 donation will build 375 homes in India, 125 homes in Indonesia
AMERICUS, Ga. (May 9, 2005) – Habitat for Humanity International announced today that Honeywell has donated $500,000 to support expanded tsunami relief in the Indian Ocean basin. Honeywell's contribution, made through its Hometown Solutions program, will fund the construction of 375 homes in India and 125 homes in Indonesia.
Construction will begin shortly on the 375 "Honeywell Homes" in India, starting with Habitat Building Centers and progressing to the states of Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry and Kanyakumari. In Indonesia, the 125 "Honeywell Homes" will be built in the devastated provinces of Medan and Aceh and the island of Nias.
"Habitat and Honeywell have both worked in the Indian Ocean basin for a number of years, and both have made a difference in peoples' lives there," said Paul Leonard, chief executive officer of Habitat for Humanity International. "For 500 families, this generous donation means getting them back on their feet, back into safe and decent shelter and another step closer to a hopeful future."
"Honeywell is committed to helping the communities devastated by the recent tsunami," said Tom Buckmaster, president of Honeywell Hometown Solutions. "Partnering with Habitat for Humanity International will enable us to leverage our expertise in housing and shelter to help those affected by this tragedy and assist with rebuilding in India and Indonesia."
Habitat has set a goal to build up to 35,000 homes in the next two years in the tsunami-ravaged region. The global organization will then work with families to expand those homes and to build tens of thousands more in the years ahead.
Honeywell Hometown Solutions focuses Honeywell's community outreach efforts on three issues of vital importance to the company's communities: Family Safety and Security; Housing and Shelter; and Science and Math Education. Together with leading public and non-profit institutions, Honeywell has developed powerful programs to address these needs in the communities it serves.

In a slightly big project ...
Why should we use postgresql or mysql, and which version ?
Which one would be better to use on long term ? Depending on caching, stored procedures, relations, data storing (ease of partitioning), backup & restore issues.
Assume that there is enough processing power and ram.
thanks for answers

By the time I asked this question, I was continuing on my research and found out that postgresql would be better for the project but not better for programmers.
For instance as a company (H2B Internet Technologies) when ever we use mysql we use workbench to create our db and we use our own tool called auto console to administrate our database which makes the production for a web site REALLY FAST. But we know that not the programmers choose database but the project choose the database. I mean database should be chosen depending on the needs.
That is why we I think we will going to choose between speed and stability.
Also in my research I could not find any free/opensourse tool to create rdb like workbench or microsofts management studio. I think we will first try to create db in workbench and convert the sql code to postgresql.
Do you know any ?

Company in talks over faster broadband offer (From Bicester Advertiser)

Company in talks over faster broadband offer
9:20am Saturday 8th December 2012 in News
MORE than 30 rural communities are in discussions with a super-fast broadband provider offering to lay new networks for free.
Chipping Norton's Gigaclear is to start work in a second county community to provide speeds of up to 1,000 megabytes (Mbps) per second.
The firm lays a fibre optic cable separate to phone networks at no cost to residents, as long as 30 per cent sign on for the service.
It is about to start work in Fyfield and Tubney in Vale of White Horse district after putting in the technology in nearby Appleton and Eaton.
Rural communities have been plagued by poor broadband speeds.
On Wednesday, the Oxford Mail reported that Oxfordshire County Council wants to invest £13m to boost speeds up to 24Mbps.
Steve Fraser, clerk at Fyfield and Tubney Parish Council, who got 50 residents to sign up, said: "Degradation of service is frustrating for everyone and can make it impossible for those wanting or needing to work in the area."
Among the 33 communities in talks about the £37-a-month service – which has a minimum 12-month contract – are Frilford and Stanton Harcourt, the firm said.
Chief executive Matthew Hare said: "We are seeing growing demand."

Republican Budget Brinkmanship Leads to Inverted Treasury Yield Curve
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Treasury Bills issued by the U.S. government due in November carry a lower implied yield than those due at the end of October, as a government shutdown and possible default on the Treasury's obligations begin to panic short-term debt markets
On Tuesday, the Treasury sold $30 billion in one-month bills at a rate of 0.35%, a yield not seen since the depths of the financial crisis in 2008. The rate roughly doubled from Monday levels and means that U.S. government debt due in November carries a lower yield than debts due at the end of October.
In other words, the yield curve on Treasury Bills has inverted.
A scenario where some would rather lend money for a longer time and at a lower yield than debts due in late October, when the Treasury is projected to reach the legal federal debt limit, signals that wrangling over the government's finances is causing a sharp shift in investor behavior.Weak demand for the Treasury's auction of one-month bills also could signal growing fear of a default. "[You] can buy a T-bill that matures in October for a lower price than you can buy a T-bill that is due in November. Since these are zero coupon instruments that is just strange," Peter Tchir, head of TFMarket Advisors, wrote in a Tuesday client note. "Another indicator of stress: Treasury yields are now inverted at short maturities," Donald Marron, Director of Economic Policy Initiatives at the Urban Institute and a former member of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, wrote on Twitter. Inverted yields in short-term debt markets often signal wider issues throughout credit markets. At certain points in 2007, short term interbank rates surged above those for longer terms. For instance, in August of 2007 the rate for one-month LIBOR exceeded the three-month, six-month and 12-month LIBOR rates. In retrospect, we now know that inverted short-term LIBOR rates were a clear sign of a rising perception of counterparty risk throughout the financial system and a shortage of liquidity as investment banks tried to fund dollar-denominated mortgage securitization vehicles that previously had been off of their balance sheets. The Federal Reserve and European Central Bank were forced into action that August; however, inverted short-term LIBOR rates persisted through March of 2008 when Bear Stearns was rescued by JPMorgan and a Fed backstop. A yield surge on the newest issue of one-month and three-month government debt on Tuesday isn't likely related to any cash crunch, however, concerns about U.S. credibility appear to be taking hold. Some buyers of U.S. government debt have stepped to the sidelines for the moment, likely as a result of fear that Congress may not be able to resolve a Republican-led impasse over the debt ceiling. If the U.S. were to default on debt payments, subsequent debt auctions would likely have even worse results and carry higher yields. Bids during Tuesday's auction totaled $82.5 billion versus a prior six-month average of $162.6 billion for $40 billion in Treasury notes. Those auctions carried an average yield of 0.034%, according to Bloomberg data. Tuesday's auction also had the lowest bid-to-cover ratio since March of 2009. For the moment, an inverted T-Bill curve indicates that buyers -- often foreign Central Banks -- are losing confidence in the the U.S. government as a creditor. Still, normal yields across the longer-term bond market reflect relative calm. David Schawel, a fixed income portfolio manager and columnist for the CFA Institute's blog said on Twitter inverted short term Treasury rates indicate a real lack of foreign direct investment in the U.S., raising wider monetary and fiscal implications. Even with Tuesday's rising yields, U.S. T-Bills still trade near par value. "Can you believe that we are talking about things that trade at 99.9% of par as showing signs of stress?," Tchir of TFMarket Advisors wrote in his Tuesday afternoon note. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York Follow @antoinegara

A Prayer for the Feast Day of Saint Monnica
O Lord, who through spiritual discipline didst strengthen thy servant Monnica to persevere in offering her love and prayers and tears for the conversion of her husband and of Augustine their son: Deepen our devotion, we beseech thee, and use us in accordance with thy will to bring others, even our own kindred, to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, for ever and ever.

Even if something happened to Obama, "we wouldn't be able to report it for our own [outlets] until the pool report is sent out by the White House to the [full] White House press corps," grumbled one White House reporter, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak on his employer's behalf.
— — —
The president's Florida sojourn was relatively inexpensive, as such trips go. The White House Office, which arranges reporters' travel, said last week that a charter flight to Newport News, Va., for a presidential speech on Tuesday would cost reporters between $1,300 and $4,300, depending on which carrier was selected and how many reporters signed up. Reporters voted for a second option for the 340-mile round trip — a chartered bus, costing about $60 per person.
A three-day trip in October by the president to California (for fundraising) and to Ohio (for a campaign speech) cost media organizations $33,022.86 for each person they sent, according to The Washington Post's billing records.
A presidential visit to Thailand, Burma and Cambodia in November may have been the most expensive yet. With multiple legs, lodging and food, news organizations wound up paying nearly $35,000 per head, according to The Post's records. Some reporters saved about half the cost of the trip by taking commercial flights to Thailand, boarding the official press plane only while traveling within Asia.
Only a handful of news organizations — typically, the major wire services, the TV networks and the New York Times and The Post — regularly send a reporter along with the president now. Others take what some wags call the Expedia Option (after the travel-booking Web site), picking their trips based on cost and perceived news value.
But knowing which might produce the most news is pure guesswork. "We just don't have a theory," says Ben Smith, editor of Buzzfeed, a Web site that assigned reporters to travel with the president during the campaign. "We are still figuring out which ones are worth it."

1.9/5 rDev -42.9%
Pours super clear and pale. Like a Bud Light. Not much head, seems very flat by appearance. Light and fruity aroma. Peaches, apparently passion fruit, and flowery scents. Juicy. Don't really get much malt, but it's light and barely there. I do sense some wheat when it warms a little. Nectary flavor starts things out. Flavor is light and stays that way throughout. Hardly any bitterness, but it does mellow out at the end a bit. Dry finish, thin feel.
This is very one note. Light and fruity with some wheat malt to bring it some body is how I would describe this.There really isn't much else.

Me and my wife shared a few bottles of this last night and I gotta tell ya I was pleasantly suprised.Poured a hazed kinda peachy color with a tight but thinner white head atop,toasted wheat malt mainly in the nose,the passion fruit is faint but noticeable.Flavors are a mix of toasted wheat malt and passion fruit,the passion fruit shines through more on the palate making for a refreshinging brew.Its not complex but as refreshing as all get out,in the summer here in NC I would have no problem drinkin this.

Beer review from BA Mag Aug 2007.
Wailua is a community on the east side of Kauai at Nounou Mountain (aka the "Sleeping Giant"). This offering is labeled as a "wheat ale brewed with passion fruit."
Obviously filtered, it pours a clear and bright golden color with a thin pure-white head. Light tropical fruit aroma, fresh wheat and powdery malts in the nose. Light on the palate, creamy and coarse with a wheat edge, followed by soft tropical passion fruit flavor. Recalls the juice in a fruit cup as it warms. Faint citrus snap and crispness. Moderate sweetness; low hopping. A slight herbal note and a touch of mint in the background. Dry, husky tannins. Gritty finish.
Interesting choice of fruit, though we wish it finished a bit cleaner. Fairly pedestrian, but that's probably the point. Kona's website suggests pairing this beer with lighter fare: grilled fish and shrimp, roasted chicken, salads and Asian foods. They even suggest vanilla ice cream. Hmm ... pairing this beer sounds more fun than drinking it on its own!

12oz bottle picked up in St. Louis. Pours into my glass a light slightly hazed yellow. A small crystalline white head forms but fades into nothing just as quickly. Aromas begin with light wheat grain that is lightly toasted. A quite mellow passion fruit aroma lurks in the background that I wish was more prominent. A touch spicy as well.
First sip brings a pale grain malt with a touch of wheat creaminess. It goes down with a hint of spice and mellow passion fruit flavor. A touch of bitterness on the way down. I really wish the passion fruit was more evident and the base beer amped up a bit. This just doesn't do it for me at all.
Mouthfeel is rather light with a steady flow of bubbles. Goes down easy enough and I could easily drink a few. The only problem is that this brew simply bores me nearly to tears. Another run of the mill pale wheat brew. I was interested when I saw passion fruit, but the flavor just isn't there and isn't enough to make me want to come back. Can't say I would recommend this one, it's not worth the time.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz, long neck bottle into a pint glass. The bottle has a "bottled on date" of 060409 notched into the label.
Appearance: The body has good clarity and a nice golden color. It builds up a tall white head full of big loosely packed bubbles that quickly fade out. This only makes for a very little spotty lacing.
Smell: The aroma is pleasant and has a little bit of sweet fruity mango and papaya like notes with a light grainy base.
Taste/Palate: Its flavor is very close to what you would expect from its aroma. It is sweet overall and has a pleasant hint of tropical fruitiness. The finish is sweet as well and there is no balance from hops. It's not overly sweet in my opinion but there is very little hop flavor at all.
Notes: My overall feeling is that it is easy to drink, somewhat interesting and would have to say that I like this beer. I think this would be a great beer for non-beer drinkers or just people who don't like bitter beers.

Bought a sixer of this at a local grocery, hoping for a decent fruity wheat summer quencher. It pours a mostly clear, chill hazed golden yellow body with an average white head that quickly falls away. Minor patchy lacing is left on the glass.
Aroma has some hints of passion fruit, perhaps, but mostly a vague bready fruitiness and a pale wheat malt twang.
Body is light medium with a sparkly carbonation.
Taste has a pale wheat twang that I don't care for. Slightly bready but the carbonation helps drinkability. No tropical fruitiness in the taste, just a hint of vague fruitiness.
Not horrid, but I would pick up a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat before I try this one again.

12 ounce bottle, with bottled on dating on the lower front label. Pours washed out hazy light golden amber, loose short lived near white head, that leaves just a smidge of spotty lace. Sweet super charged fruity nose leads to an equally fruity summer brew. Notes of sweet tropical fruit, with a mild mouth coating element of moderatly drying hops. Bring on summer, head for the tropics and enjoy a few bottles of this fruity warm weather brew

2.48/5 rDev -25.5%
Appearance: bright yellow in color, small head, clear, small carbonation
Smell: wheat, passion fruit, and florals..almost too sweet a smell
Taste: wheat honey, sweet fruit, and flowers. The taste is not as sweet as the smell.
Mouthfeel: smooth, semi-sweet, low carbonation, light body
Drinkability: I am glad I got this and am equally glad I got just one. It was like drinking a tropical flower garden. The fruit does not mix as well with the light beer. The taste is a bit too sweet and there is no need to rush and get a second one.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass.
A: Light golden color. One finger of head. No lacing
S: Tropical fruit mainly, a small amount of banana and wheat.
T: The first taste is malt, wheat, followed by the taste of fruit and a small amount of sweetness, finishing with some faint hops. Alcohol is well masked
M: An appropriate amount of carbonation for the style. Medium-light body.
Overall: As far as "fruit" beers go, this one gets it about right. The fruit is present, but without tasting like a "flavored malt beverage"; it mainly adds some depth to the taste of a pale wheat beer. A good summer brew.

Got this beer from my brother-in-law in San Deigo on a recent visit.12oz brown long neck bottle with a crimped cap bottled on 6/15/07and served into a wheat glass.
Clear with a slight haze a golden straw color with barely a 1'' white head that dissapated quickly leaving a couple of short lace strips.
Active looking throughout lots of tiny bubbles tight knitted string together racing to the surface.
Doughy aromas with lots of fruit very tropical-like,passion fruit? not sure what it smells like,aroma reminsent of apricot/mango/melon. No traditional wheat aromas present.
Very fruity taste,not overpowering,lots of tang,fruit tastes tropical punch like,but not on the syrupy side,like a lot of fruit beers. Finishes crisp with a citrus twang and a bit of an astrigent note.
Light bodied,refreshing,goes down easily,a good refreshing summer beer. Not offensive like a lot of flavored beers.

Had this on a recent return trip to Kauai...Poured a light amber color. As mentioned before, two-finger head that dissipated fairly quickly. The smell was mostly passion-fruit. The taste was more of the same. There was not much of the "wheat ale" in the flavor (which I have to admit, I am not much of an American wheat fan). The mouthfeel was average, not too long lasting, but where this beer was above average was the drinkability. On our trip, we did daily hikes of several miles, and when stopping for lunch, this beer really hit the spot in 85 degree, full sun days. To me, the mild passion-fruit taste was something that was refreshing after a hot day in the sun. More enjoyable than I anticipated.

A group of fourth-graders sits around a table.
"Who cut the cheese?" asks Kennedy Todd, 10. Everyone laughs.
Kennedy's joke seems obvious, but she was referring to her team's skit that swaps King Arthur's sword in a stone and makes it a sword in a block of cheese.
Who cut the cheese?
Kennedy is one of seven fourth-graders who are a part of Howard Drive Elementary School's Odyssey of the Mind team; the same team that won fourth place at the world finals on May 23.
OM, as participants call it, is a creative, problem-solving competition that runs from elementary school through college. The problems are spontaneous and long-term and can be technical, artistic or performance-based. The team from Howard Drive had to create a story based on parameters set by the competition, then perform skits from their story and answer questions from judges about how they came up with it.
Howard Drive's Odyssey of the Mind team placed fourth in the world finals May 23 at Michigan State University. The seven team members competed against groups from 12 other countries, including Poland, Russia and China.
The difference between school and OM is that you're allowed to be as crazy as you want. At least that's how Matthew Lamas, 10, described it.
Coaches Milton and Lida Todd guided the team by pointing out strengths, exposing them to different things, asking thought-provoking questions and teaching them how to use power tools safely. They'd never coached a team before, but they wanted their daughter Kennedy to have the experience.
The team chose one of the five long-term problems in September 2012 and the team started generating solutions. The team was responsible for building props, writing scripts, choosing music, coming up with lyrics and designing costumes.
"It's about their creativity," Milton Todd said.
Teams lost points if they didn't make everything themselves.
"They made their magic box four times before they got it right," Lida Todd said.
All of the parents agreed that OM taught their kids how to work with each other and apply what they learned to real situations.
"We're all good at one thing and together we're good as a whole," said team member Matthew Lamas.
"Odyssey really changes the way you think," Matthew said. "People you don't know can become your friends. We became friends."
Larry Feldman, a Miami-Dade County Public Schools board member, attended the world finals with Howard Drive Elementary School. The last time he attended a competition was when his daughter participated from elementary school to high school.
It's what inspired her to become a playwright, he said.
"This is really how school is supposed to be," Feldman said, describing OM as interdisciplinary project-based learning. "I wish I would have known about this as a teacher."
With OM, assessment is independent. Judges share their comments with each participant and not with coaches.
"That's what employers want. They have to be able to communicate. They have to be able to speak well. It's exciting when you think of the potential," he said. "As adults, there's no bell. You come to work and find out your strengths and who will compensate for your non-strengths."
Feldman said he will pay the entry fee for any team in his district that wants to try the program.
After winning the regional and state competition, the team was invited to participate in the world finals, something they didn't expect because it was their first year. Teams from China, Georgia and Michigan placed higher than Howard Drive's team by about 10 points. They all returned with their own hand towels covered in different pins.
"We traded pins with other countries so that we can remember them," team member Andres Laventman said.
At the end of the world finals, it's a tradition for teams to destroy their sets and props because it's so expensive to ship them back and forth.
"The best part is destruction," said team member Alex Eum.
Howard Drive's team destroyed their life-size storybook that they'd been working on all year. Howard Drive's team took ideas from fairy tales and changed them, like King Arthur and his sword or a book that tells a story in a fairy tale.
The kids have already started talking about next year's problems.
"After 40 years, I still get passionate," Feldman said. "It's electrifying."

My go to dress shirts! I love the way these shirts fit and all the colors and designs they come in! August 9, 2014
I love these shirts. I usually buy modern or fitted. June 7, 2014
Great Shirts These shirts come in awesome colors and are available in a size to make anyone look good. If you have a little extra puff around your midsection, go with the Modern Fit of whatever size you are. After washing it'll be just the right size. If you're cut and toned, get the fitted. I have a few of each, finding that the fitted ones - after washing - tend to be a little snug around my midsection after a large meal. Express makes cool ties that match all of these shirt colors, too - so if you have to wear a shirt and tie to the office, you can make some cool combos. May 10, 2014
Perfection! Their slogan speaks the truth, this shirts are with no doubt America's best fitting shirts. April 22, 2014
Quality Shirt Very comfortable and good fit. Comes with lots of compliments. Every one asks where I get my clothes! March 18, 2014

A closer look at Microsoft's Office 15 Technical Preview
Microsoft's next-generation Office suite recently reached the Technical Preview stage, allowing third parties to test Microsoft's pre-beta code. The software giant released early copies of Office 15 to a number of businesses, partners and OEMs in January ahead of a public beta this summer. Thanks to a source with access to the Technical Preview, we've been able to get a closer look at Microsoft's plans for its next Office suite.
Office 15 applications all run as standard desktop apps across Windows 7 and Windows 8, and some will even come packaged in an ARM edition of Windows 8 later this year. Office 15 takes a different approach to design, minimizing the ribbon by default and using a full screen "backstage" menu (similar to Office 2010) with navigation controls on the left. A pin icon controls whether the ribbon interface is open or minimized, and it remains largely untouched at this stage of development. Microsoft's Outlook 15 application, missing from the company's preview of Office 15 on ARM, looks the most changed - with a Metro-style navigation at the bottom of the application and the switch to "People" instead of the traditional "Contacts" naming.
One interesting part of Microsoft Office 15 is the ability to broadcast documents online by sharing them with others. Microsoft introduced a Broadcast Slide Show feature with PowerPoint 2010 but the company has renamed this to "Present Online" in Office 15 and has expanded it to other Office applications by using Windows Live to share the document online.
Overall, the application is said to be in the early stages of any UI changes or features, and appears to be focused on working well in a fullscreen environment like Microsoft's Metro app plans. Although Microsoft is clearly working on the look of Office, we expect to see the majority of new features in the first public beta over the summer.

Because one near-certainty of the driverless era is that more people will want to drive. That will have wide-ranging policy implications, including the need to modernize the way we finance transportation infrastructure. That, in turn, means more user charges, such as congestion pricing and variable tolls, and especially a vehicle-miles-traveled tax to ensure that drivers bear the cost of road upkeep.
Ceding our roads to computers will be a complicated and chaotic process. It will involve all kinds of strange moral considerations and trade-offs. It could transform our physical environment, our economy and quite possibly our entire way of life. The technology is unquestionably revolutionary. Just don't expect it to be a joyride.

For the Manumission events at Privilege–one of Ibiza's superclubs–LD Alan King used an Avolites Diamond 4 Elite console to control its newly upgraded lighting rig, which King designed. Manumission is famous for its highly theatrical Monday club nights at Privilege and, new this year, Ibiza Rocks, a Friday night live rock show.
King selected the Diamond 4 because he needed a powerful and versatile control platform for the large rig in the main room. With a capacity of 10,000 people, Privilege is the largest club in the world; it even includes a swimming pool. The energetic Manumission Monday live show has a myriad of set pick ups, dancers silhouetted behind gauzes, and numerous other dramatic effects, so King had to have a "hands on" console to run an effective show.
The giant white set for Manumission features a large flashing 'M' centerpiece, made from over 600 bulbs on 24 dimmer channels. Constructed from 'blown' white foam, it fills the entire stage, highlighted with 24 short-nosed floor-based PARs and scrollers. The remaining lighting is on three overhead trusses.
The new and additional stage lighting rig had to cater for Manumission's Monday event, the other Privilege club nights, Ibiza Rocks, and any other requirement that might be scheduled. The rig included 16 High End Systems Cyberlights on the back truss, eight HES PC Beams, four Martin Atomic strobes, 10 bars of six PARs for general washing, 10 Moles on upright truss sections at the rear, and five CCT Profiles on the front truss for lighting bands and highlighting other onstage events.
The Avolites Diamond 4 handled the diverse needs of the club easily and King is pleased with the results. Functions of the console he specifically likes include setting the times, chase unfold, setting the fixture order, easy cue stacking of chases and shared paletting.
The additional lighting for Privilege's 2005 summer season, which includes several other high-profile club nights, was supplied by Oxfordshire-based Production Hire Ltd (PHL).

What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
Im not saying this country doesn't do it all the time, im just telling you how it should be. If they are taken into custody in the midst of a crime, yes they should be given a trial.
Btw, many of those undeclared wars you just mentioned are perfect examples of why wars should have to be declared.Why? Because many of those undeclared wars were the biggest wastes of human lives for no good reason this country has ever seen.
Russia warned us repeatedly about this guy. This definitely could have been stopped. But better get ready for another Benghazi-style coverup and media whitewash, along with much wailing about not tying this into anythng other than two random losers.
So, these guys were on welfare?

Accelerate HBase™ bucket cache with flash
Apache HBase™ is a scale-out, distributed database that delivers the fault tolerance necessary for uninterrupted, real-time access to large quantities of unstructured or big data. HBase scale enables it to support massive database tables containing billions of rows and millions of columns. Based on the Hadoop® Distributed File System (HDFS), HBase delivers high-bandwidth streaming performance for low-latency random access.
HBase delivers exceptionally fast insert and update performance for parallel processing of HDFS data distributed throughout server clusters. However, this distributed data can impose a significant performance penalty on HBase random read access operations. The challenge, then, is to optimize both low-latency random access and high-batch throughput. A significant barrier to performance optimization is the limited read and write response inherent to the underlying hard disk drive (HDD) architecture.
Solid state PCIe® flash storage opens bottlenecks to HBase performance, delivering up to 200x more I/O operations per second (IOPS) than HDDs. HBase today takes advantage of flash memory's high performance, integrating flash storage into its architecture with a bucket cache feature. Bucket cache provides supplementary cache to DRAM and serves as a temporary cache store for data evicted from DRAM (LRU) cache. Flash-based caching can multiply the effective size of DRAM dedicated to HBase RegionServers, enabling a larger dataset to be processed faster than is possible with DRAM and HDDs alone.
In internal LSI testing of random reads, flash caching proves a valuable and cost-effective addition to the HBase memory hierarchy. Flash caching can help boost HBase system performance and increases performance of the dataset size in scale-outs.
The tests benchmarked the implementation of an HBase bucket cache using a Nytro™ MegaRAID® flash accelerator card, which increased operations per second by up to 7x and reduced average latency by up to 12x (Uniform Distribution). The Nytro MegaRAID acceleration card improved performance even more for the standard Zipfian Distribution – a standard built-in distribution used by the Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark – reducing latency by 21x and 12x in the 95th and 99th percentiles, respectively.
The table below summarizes the performance improvements during internal testing in operations per second, average latency, and latency in the 95th and 99th percentiles.

---- — Early this morning there were reports of stabbings in downtown Haverhill.
Police were scrambling ambulances. It was unclear how many people were stabbed, but two people on Twitter said that it was eight people.
Haverhill police were unable to confirm last night whether or not there were stabbings, and if so how many people were stabbed.
Another person tweeted "Haverhill parties always end with someone fighting or getting stabbed. Why can't you just enjoy the time or don't even party at all?"

Gavel is bang on for town mayor (From The Oxford Times)

Gavel is bang on for town mayor
7:00pm Friday 1st February 2013 in News
A HISTORIC gavel is set to give Banbury mayor Tony Ilott some extra clout after being returned after a 39-year absence.
Council leader Kieron Mallon has tracked down the wooden hammer and block after it was lost in a local government shake-up in the 1970s.
It was given to the former Banbury Borough Council in 1962 by ex-borough surveyor Sidney Hilton on behalf of the Banbury branch of the National Association of Local Government Officers. It then passed to Cherwell District Council when it was formed as part of the national reorganisation of local government in 1974 to take over services for the town.
The gavel was discovered locked away in the district council's offices at Bodicote House, Banbury, and was returned to the town council last week.
Mr Mallon said: "I took possession of it and returned it to its rightful place."

FibroBoost® contains Seanol®, a unique
polyphenol complex from brown algae (Ecklonia cava). Seanol is produced using a
patented extraction process that creates a complex of ten sea-based polyphenols.
Widely studied for their health benefits, polyphenols are a diverse class of
naturally occurring compounds found abundantly in the vegetable kingdom.
Polyphenols from land growing plants are largely water soluble, breaking down
rapidly in the body when consumed in food. In contrast, Seanol polyphenols are
hydrophobic (repelled by water and therefore non-water-soluble); this allows
them to remain in the body for up to twelve hours before being metabolized and
excreted, greatly enhancing their beneficial health effects.
Suggested Adult Use: Take one to three capsules, two times
daily before meals, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Do not exceed 6
capsules in a 24-hour period.

This is the first boulder of the First Set. This is the one you can see from the road, and the first once you come to when you walk in on the very short trail. The first problem you see will be the corner of Providence, but you are most likely going to walk just a touch to the right to the large clearing that sits below the tall face of Hooker, Looker, and Cooker. This boulder also sports climbs such as the classic Slobadon, and the overlooked V3 variation of McMidgetson. Getting down from this boulder is sometimes a challenge. You can either down climb the Descent Slab, or you can jump down basically over the start of McMidgetson.
