The Islamic Commercial Crisis: Institutional Roots of Economic Underdevelopment in the Middle East
AbstractDuring the second millennium, the Middle East s commerce with Western Europe fell increasingly under European domination. Two factors played critical roles. First, the Islamic inheritance system, by raising the costs of dissolving a partnership following a partner s death, kept Middle Eastern commercial enterprises small and ephemeral. Second, certain European inheritance systems facilitated large and durable partnerships by reducing the likelihood of premature dissolution. The upshot is that European enterprises grew larger than those of the Islamic world. Moreover, while ever larger enterprises propelled further organizational transformations in Europe, persistently small enterprises inhibited economic modernization in the Middle East.For useful comments on previous drafts, I am indebted to Scott Altman, Murat izak a, Avner Greif, Eric Jones, Daniel Klerman, Naomi Lamoreaux, evket Pamuk, David Powers, Kenneth Sokoloff, Jan de Vries, Dean Williamson, and three anonymous referees.

Off to the UKOUG general session then a fun-filled day of presentations. It wraps up later this afternoon with my rman best practices event at 5:45pm.
I was just looking at an Exadata X2-2 ordering document and noticed that it included 144GB of RAM. The sales rep pointed at the Exadata X2-2 datasheet and showed the 96GB to 144GB memory expansion option.
Simple messages are the most powerful. Keep it simple is the advice given by top technologists. One reason why blogs are extremely popular is their simplicity. This simplicity comes from the shortness and focus of the message of the blog. This Log Buffer Edition collects some simple yet powerful blog posts for you in Log Buffer #248.
anticipate seeing people from all over the continent at UKOUG. The attendance over the past few years has been growing and nothing short of astounding. I am giving two papers at the show … one on a dear friend of us all called rman and the other on a close second … the physical standby. For me, even in the midst of emerging technology solutions, there's still nothing like the old-fashioned Oracle CORE database arena.
Thanksgiving is here and the circular chain of thankfulness is going on. Clients are thankful that they have applications, applications are thankful to their databases, database are thankful to their DBAs, and DBAs are thankful to clients. And they all are thankful that there is weekly Log Buffer Edition, of which the latest is Log Buffer #247. :)
The topic of this post is really a question, What does all the new stuff coming down the line mean for those customers in the next 12-18 months? Oddly enough, the answer to that question is: Not very much. At least, not yet.
With every conversation geared towards SSD, the confusion grew. Until I finally had enough, and also had some spare time, and could sit down and untangle the web. Here's what I found out…
Oracle hosted a webcast of Sysadmin-oriented Preview of EBS 12.2. It was an enlighting webcast, which gave a very good idea about things coming up in Release 12.2. Today I want to discuss about a prominent feature of the upcoming Oracle E-Business suite Release 12.2, Online patching feature. The screengrab in thiis post of a slide from presentation gives a nice overview of the feature.
Administrators across the database technologies find themselves at the center stage of that and they are sharing tips and tricks regarding that in their blogs. This Log Buffer Edition touches that and much more in Log Buffer #246.
Since I was using a version of 11 already, an experimental upgrade was not a problem. With the BE (boot environments) feature, one could boot into any version safely. BE is an awesome feature. Need to install a patch? Install into a boot environment – any problems reboot into the old environment. BEs leverage ZFS snapshots to create a clone of your boot disk, install any patches onto it and allow you to switch flawlessly between the two.

The Foreign Kings no more
October 5, 2012 in Uncategorized
For once the SARU EXCO showed some guts and denied the Southern Kings the use of more than two foreign players. This means that they will have to make do with the two they already have, Clint Newland and Paul Perez.
Could this be because they
- lied about the Lions refusing them players, and
- tried to force SARU's hand by signing extra foreigners before their request was approved?
I know I'm being petty but I must say that this news makes my evening just a tad better.

--Crude-oil futures prices lower Monday in line with equities
--Crude climbed early on news durable goods orders up sharply in December
--RBOB gasoline rally carries in to eighth day amid tight mid-Atlantic supplies
--Hess closure of small New Jersey refinery adds to concern over low regional inventory
By David Bird
NEW YORK--Crude-oil futures prices were lower Monday in line with equities, while gasoline prices remained strong amid worries over tight gasoline supplies in the mid-Atlantic region.
Oil futures jumped early as the Commerce Department said December U.S. durable goods orders rose 4.6% from November, much stronger than the consensus call for a 2% rise. The data is the latest of recent strong indicators of a recovery in the U.S., the world's biggest oil consumer.
But after sluggish data on home sales and weakness in the broader equities market, crude turned down.
"We've been gaining on signs of an economy recovery" which would spark higher demand for oil, said Carl Larry, president of Oil Outlooks and Opinions. He said crude oil prices, which failed to hold above $96 a barrel last week after hitting the highest level since mid-September, are now poised for a run to $97 and a potential challenge of $100 a barrel next week, if the U.S. non-farm payroll report due Friday is supportive.
Still, Mr. Larry and others said, a sharp downturn in refiner demand for crude oil due to seasonal maintenance work, helped the gains to stall.
"The S&P 500 has tipped negative and there's certainly plenty of crude around," said Tim Evans, analyst at Citi Futures, commenting on the abrupt reversal in the market.
Refiners last week cut crude oil processing rates to a 30-month low and sustained declines are expected.
Traders will be watching U.S. oil inventory data due at midweek to show the scope of inventory gains and refinery operations.
"If we don't get a big crude build, we will be going higher. That's the X factor here. It's all about the refineries," Mr. Larry said.
Jim Ritterbusch, president of Ritterbusch & Associates, said he sees crude struggling to hold above $96 in the near term due to reduced refiner demand. He estimated that first-quarter maintenance work could cut crude processing by about 9% to 10% of capacity, compared with a 7% in the first quarter of 2008, a period of heavy shutdowns. That would translate to around 1.6 million-1.7 million barrels a day of crude capacity off line.
Light, sweet crude oil for March delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange was trading down 17 cents at $95.71 a barrel, after a session high of $96.81 a barrel. The contract hasn't settled above $97 since September and hasn't topped $100 a barrel at settlement since May.
March ICE Brent crude was 43 cents lower, at $112.89 a barrel.
The strong rally in reformulated gasoline blendstock futures continued into an eighth day Monday, amid worries over tight supplies in the mid-Atlantic region, which includes the New York Harbor delivery point of the Nymex contract.
U.S. gasoline stocks are unusually high on a nationwide level, but in the heavily populated mid-Atlantic region, they are nearly 15% below the five-year average for this time of year, government data show.
Inventories were slim before Sandy disrupted operations at refineries and terminals in the region, and haven't rebounded. Hess Corp. said Monday it will permanently shut its small Port Reading, N.J. refinery by the end of February. Energy Department data show the plant produces 27,000 barrels a day of gasoline, a fraction of the 3 million barrels a day or so consumed along the entire East Coast. Still, traders said, the closure will increase the need for imports to the region.
February delivery RBOB futures were 4.50 cents higher, at $2.9202 a gallon, after hitting an intraday high of $2.936 a gallon, the highest intraday level since Dec. 18. The contract, which expires Thursday, has gained 16.88 cents, or 6.2%, in the previous seven sessions. It settled Friday at the highest level since Oct. 12.
February heating oil was down 0.59 cent, at $3.0505 a gallon.

In Season
In three consecutive days, I was in three different countries. And in each country, I ate delicious fruit: dense, creamy mango in Mexico City, crisp, juicy cherries in Los Angeles and fragrant, acidic strawberries in Leiden (Netherlands). There is almost nothing I love more than a perfect piece of fruit; I sought these specimens out, searching for them in markets and (to be honest) my mother's kitchen from amongst many other fruits. You see, finding good fruit is one of my favorite pastimes, and something I have become quite adept at.
This little tale of three cities speaks to more, however, than my own fun in the market, or even the skill we can hone in choosing the best and most serving things (a skill that I think lays at the heart of any practice, yoga or other). Rather, it really hit me this week that I was eating three fruits, which we don't normally think of as being perfect in the same month, just days apart. Obviously, I could enjoy them this way because I was in different places on each of those days, and obviously I am getting at the seasonality of ingredients that is particular to each individual place and climate. But I also want to call attention to the fact that it is sometimes really difficult to stay connected to the world around you, to the seasons, to the crops coming from the earth.
If anything, the rhetoric of seasonality has made this even more difficult. Magazines arrive in late February or early March bearing the heading "The Bounty of Spring" and tempting you with lavish spreads of asparagus, fava beans, and green garlic. But in most parts of the country, such crops are literally months away from arriving; the ground might even still have a covering of chilly frost! I had never really thought about this until I moved from California, the land that sets the trends for these types of things (ironic, as so many of the magazines touting spring peas in February are based on the east coast!). But after living across the country, I now realize that there is often a disconnect between what people tell you should be in season and what really is. This can be frustrating; like when you see a glossy spring bounty and only have cellared root vegetables. But I am trying to suggest, by tempting you with mangoes, strawberries, and cherries at their absolute peaks, it can also be incredibly rewarding to really pay attention and wait until the moment when your favorite foods will be at their most delicious.

Handling Incoming Mail
Administration Maintenance Administration 3 & 2 - Aviation theories and other practices
successively to several offices, a stamp may be
used with check boxes for several addressees.
Mail control is defined in the Navy as any
procedure used to make a record of the receipt,
location, or dispatch of mail. This definition
includes logging or preparing other records to
indicate receipt, providing signature for classified
and registered mail if required, following up to
ensure action, providing information on location
of the item, microfilming, and other methods.
Since controls require additional work and
ensuing delays, they should be used only for
selected types of important mail. Yet, the fact that
they are definitely needed for certain types of mail
is emphasized.
As an AZ, you must be able to type an official
letter correctly and neatly. Every division of the
maintenance department in which you serve is
likely to draft at least an occasional letter for the
department heads signature. In many offices,
correspondence may make up an important
portion of your daily work.
Official correspondence in the Navy includes
all recorded communications sent or received by
a person in the Navy in execution of the duties
of office. Besides letters, correspondence includes
such things as messages transmitted by electrical
means. It also includes endorsements attached to
letters or memorandums.
Within the Navy, official correspondence is
usually prepared in naval form. This format is
also used when writing to certain other agencies
of the United States Government, especially those
within the Department of Defense or the Coast
Guard. Some civilian firms that deal extensively
with the Navy have also adopted the naval form.
Many official letters addressed to persons
outside the Navy are written in business form,
including many dealing with matters relating to
individuals and those written to civilian firms or
to government officials or agencies that have not
adopted the naval form.
Standard Letter Format
The format of the standard letter has been
precisely defined and should be followed to the
last detail of spacing and punctuation. You should
refer to the latest edition of
The Navy Cor-
respondence Manual,
SECNAVINST 5216.5, if
any problems arise when you type a letter. This
instruction provides detailed direction as well as
examples showing how to prepare all forms of
Navy correspondence.
The format of an unclassified standard letter
is shown in figure 2-9. As you read the following
sections, refer to figure 2-9.
Letterhead stationery is
usually used for the first page of a standard letter.
If a printed letterhead is not available, the
letterhead is typed or stamped in the center of the
first page, four lines from the top. Second and
subsequent pages are typed on plain bond paper
similar to the letterhead in size, color, and quality.
For carbon copies, white and colored manifold
paper (tissues) is used. The official file copy is
prepared on yellow tissue or photocopy.
Before typing a letter, you should
be sure how many copies are needed. Require-
ments for copies of naval letters are determined
by such factors as subject or the local filing
practices. Although the necessary number of
copies must be determined separately for each
letter, the following information may help you.

On the first page of all naval
letters, the left and right margins are 1 inch, and
the bottom margin is at least 1 inch. On second

the page is 1 inch, and the other margins are the
same as on the first page. On letterhead paper,

The shoes were taken from Delgado's feet during a recent spring training game, and have not been seen since. Police completed a full sweep of the Blue Jays Spring Training facility, including the diamond, the clubhouse and the parking lot and were unable to find any sign of the shoes, but what they did find could shock the entire Blue Jays organization.
"At first we thought it was just a piece of paper, maybe some garbage that had blown over from the Detroit Tigers field," reported Dade County Sheriff Moseby. "But upon further inspection we realized that it was in fact a ransom note for the missing shoes."
The contents of the note were brief and to the point. It read as follows:
To All Toronto Blue Jays Fans,
If you ever want Delgado to see his lucky shoes again then you had better be watching closely in the next week leading up to and including the home opener weekend at the Skydome April 4th to the 7th
The only chance you have to learn our identity is to follow the clues we drop on the Blue Jays web site, and the only chance you have of getting the shoes back for Carlos is to be at the games against the Minnesota Twins that weekend.
See You Suckers Later!
The purpose of the note is clear, but the identity of who wrote it is not. That may soon change as the police are releasing a photo for the first time of the crime being committed. The photo is a still frame from the dugout security camera and seems to depict two suspicious persons in the act of removing Delgado's shoes. The police have no leads as to who these two are, and are looking to Blue Jays fans for help.
"What we do know about these suspects is that they are scum," Blue Jays manager Buck Martinez was quick to note. "Everyone knows how much those shoes meant to Carlos and this entire ball club. We just can't stand for this as a team, an organization and as a city."
Still noticeably shaken by the events of the past 48 hours Delgado made a direct appeal to the fans of Toronto.
"Please help me to find my lucky shoes", he said. "They mean everything to me and my feet."
Delgado then paused for 15 minutes to collect himself then asked reporters to allow him another day before he issues another statement.
Clearly something must be done immediately. The future of the Blue Jays may hang in the balance. Certainly the emotion that has been shown by Toronto's all-star first basemen shows the absolute importance of these shoes to his baseball future. Stay posted to this web site for more pressing details and clues as they unfold.

How the mob grew sports betting
There at the creation.
That's one of my favorite phrases. It means you saw a flash of brilliance or caught a truly original moment or, if you spoke up, contributed to an idea or movement that mattered. It means that you were a witness to history. Think about all the imaginary light bulbs it would have been cool to see turn on (like, of course, the invention of the light bulb, whether you think it was Thomas Edison or Joseph Swan). I would like to have been in the brainstorming session for the Declaration of Independence. I would like to have been in Naismith's gym class. I would like to have been in the seat next to J.K. Rowling when she first typed the words "Harry Potter" and realized, even if no one else did yet, that her days of struggling were over. Thanks to Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher, I was there at the creation when Mark Zuckerberg invented Facebook. And it was cool, even if it was just a movie (and one that was robbed of an Oscar).
Those moments are rarely big, I would imagine. The weight of what's to come doesn't usually announce itself in incandescence. Creation myths only make it seem that way.

Rather than political, many people have chosen to take the ecological route. This arena is more fun and productive in my opinion, not to mention more optimistic. Producing one's own energy (solar, etc), housing (cob, straw bale,etc), and food with permaculture is a reasonable way to preserve liberty, however is also being attacked by chemtrails and the ecological impacts that they will cause unless stopped. Is politics the only way to stop them? Wiser people than me may know.
It seems we have people working in all different arenas, just not enough numbers to overpower corporate society.

Paul Hendrickson walked out of the bank feeling half his weight. His little house in South Minneapolis was all his.
It'd been a matter of timing. With the collapse of the Dollar, Second Federal's stock in trade was suddenly worthless. And whatever economy had sprung up in the Twin Cities in the previous seven weeks had largely bypassed banks – at least, traditional ones, like Second Federal.
More complicated still?

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
The Catholic Church is quietly preparing for an unparalleled episode of spiritual warfare, training more clergy to meet the inexplicable but steadily increasing demand for exorcisms. Church officials say a rise in materialism and pop obsession with the occult is to blame.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Living Faith
Keywords: exorcism, satan, devil, posession, demons, demonic, Ouija, occult, worldly, mental illness
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - In the bright and cheery world of "Christianity Lite," many forget that Satan is real and that his tactics are ancient and tested. While many souls fall to the wayside because of secular influences, the number of people reporting possible demonic possessions to the Church is also increasing.
Church officials say that rediscovered obsessions with the occult, such as with Ouija boards, paganism, and Satanism, are causing people to suffer demonic possessions at an unparalleled rate.
Priests can cast out demons by the rite of exorcism, but it requires special training that few priests have. Several dioceses, particularly in Spain and Italy, are sending priests to train for spiritual warfare unlike that seen in ages - if ever.
According to a report in the Telegraph, dioceses in Spain and Italy are training several priests in exorcism in an effort to meet demand. Additionally, the Church hopes to "sideline" unauthorized exorcists by displacing them with officials appointed and trained by the Church.
Many Christians now regard Satan and demonic possession as something of the past, failing at all to recognize the subtle guile of evil. However, it is real, present, and always hungry.
As people stray from God and the Church, and dabble in the occult "for entertainment" they engage evil forces that are beyond their comprehension and belief. With psychologists and doctors sometimes unable to explain or diagnose the conditions in question, since the illness is spiritual, hapless people must turn to the Church for rescue.
This is where specially trained priests come in.
According to the Church, despite the surge in possible demonic possessions, most of the people they encounter suffer from undiagnosed mental conditions. Conditions which can be dangerous if left untreated, but are still treatable. In those cases, where mental illness is suspected, Church officials will tell the individual to seek the care of a licensed medical professional. About only one in a 100 cases will meet the criteria for demonic possession and require an exorcism.
However, there are cases where science and medicine stop - and the powers of Good and Evil begin.
Church officials also warn that there are several self-appointed exorcists, even people who pose as priests, and have not undergone appropriate training to perform the rite of exorcism. The Church is cracking down on this practice by training known, qualified clergy who answer to their bishops for performing the rites.
The clergy selected must be level-headed, and discreet, according to La Repubblica which recently conducted several interviews with involved clergy.
In addition to a rise in the number of demonic possessions occurring in people, there also appears to be a rise in the number of mental illness that people develop. The causes behind this are unknown, but it could have much to do with environmental factors such as diet, pollutants, as well as lifestyle choices which can be popular, but mentally and spiritually unhealthy.
We would do well to remember that Pope Francis warned, "there are those that belong to him" (referring to Satan).

Todt was asked by Welt am Sonntag newspaper about the highly controversial cap, opposed by many top teams as unworkable in practice. But Todt claims: "They all want this limit and it must be in writing. Then it will be binding. The teams came to me and Bernie Ecclestone and implored us to finally introduce a budget limit." "Lotus has reportedly not paid [a] driver. I hear that Sauber and also Williams have problems. It can't go on," the Frenchman insisted. "I am worried that we will lose teams. Many are crying out for help, and our job is to listen to these cries. "Formula 1 is in intensive care and time is running out – by the end of June, a solution to this problem must be found," said Todt. (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

After exploring his disillusionment with religion in his previous films, Ingmar Bergman adopted a humanistic approach for this classic study in isolationism. Legendary Scandinavian director Victor Sjöström stars as Isak Borg, an aging medical professor who reassesses his life while journeying to his former university to receive an honorary degree. Borg travels with his estranged daughter-in-law Marianne (Ingrid Thulin) and revisits many of the landmarks of his past, conjuring up memories of his

Mr. Bergman, being a poet with the camera, gets some grand, open, sensitive images, but he has not conveyed full clarity in this film.
"Wild Strawberries" is a thematically abundant film that fluidly condenses a lifetime's worth of experience into succinct cinematic fragments under Ingmar Bergman's complex construction of abstract corollaries.
...an intensely cinematic psychological portrait of a man reckoning with the how and why of who he's become.
Gunnar Fischer's photography becomes ever more luminous and Sjöström's performance grows in greatness.
The relentless symbolism, and some rather heavy-handed dream sequences are off-putting at times, but Wild Strawberries has enough sorrow, warmth and profundity to make for sophisticated and rewarding viewing.
If some of the symbolism is a bit top-heavy, Bergman's richly evocative contrasts of youth with age more than compensate, as does Sjöström's majestic performance.
A reviewer must exercise some tact in discussing this picture. It is a work of such high and subtle art that the temptation is to run in with a smother of adjectives and a display of analytical explanation.
Bergman's often heralded masterpiece of European cinema is more than a formal delight. It's funny, touching, and very, very emotional.
Swedish master Ingmar Bergman delivered one of his greatest ruminations on love and life in this 1957 drama.
Several actors who were to form the director's virtual stock company are here, but it is Sjöström who is heart and soul of the film.
With unyielding moral precision no less austere for the lack of any religious conviction behind it, Bergman subjects his protagonist to judgment for the crimes of indifference and selfishness, and pronounces a verdict of "the usual" sentence: loneliness.
One of Ingmar Bergman's many masterpieces, this universal meditation on the meaning of life is extremely well-acted by Victor Sjostrom (also known as director) as ther aging professor.
It's most memorable due to the heartfelt sterling performance by the seventy-something Victor Seastrom.

Audience Reviews for Smultronstället (Wild Strawberries)
Super Reviewer
Super Reviewer
Master of all things meaningful, oeuvre-crafter Ingmar Bergman is no stranger to philosophy. Where the common director goes for the risklessly safe, Bergman takes the audacious route in a prototype vehicle. Every undertaking a challenge. Every tale a crack at the Herculean questions of life and death.
"Who am I and why have I become this way?" are the ones at the heart of Wild Strawberries, a character study of infinite appliance, about an old medical professor named Dr. Isak Borg, who at the winter of his existence reminisce on the choices and events that would eventually arrive at his socially distanced self. Lonely, in part by selection. Cynical and cranky, as the result of incidents made fog-like by the opacity of years gone by.
But then it comes to him in a dream: angst-filled, strikingly symbolic imagery, involving a handless clock (as if to say his time is up) a coffin, flying open, revealing his still alive double expressing spiritual unrest (a self-explanatory metaphor) and last, but certainly least on the bizarreness barometer, a man with a face that - in lack of a better description - only a mother could love. To that last bit I say: [insert interpretation here]. But it is disturbing, let me tell you.
Catalytic in effect, the dream sequence also has the function of a pivotal epiphany. A knock on the door from the bony knuckles of the Grim Reaper (and perhaps a game of chess later on) which in reality manifests itself as an altered course of action. Instead of, as he had originally planned, taking a plane from his home in Stockholm to Lund where he is expected to receive an honorary degree, Dr. Borg decides to go by car instead, making a few stops along the way in what becomes an external journey as much as a spiritual one.
Following along is Marianne, his daughter-in-law played by the drop-dead gorgeous Ingrid Thulin. An actress of such contemporary beauty that you'd never guess it was shot in 1957. We also meet Sara, a sassy young woman (in a vibrant turn by Bibi Andersson) and her entourage consisting of two men at different positions regarding the existence of God. There are some fantastic scenes involving these two; starting off as intellectual debate and later escalating to some more testosterone-filled pushing and shoving. After which Sara hilariously responds: "Well, is there a God?"
There's a lot of humorous touches like that baked into the strawberry pie, which makes it all the tastier. Sweet as that may be though, the main ingredient is more like lemon; sour at Dr. Isak's musings, about love lost and desires unfulfilled. A character who we get to know inside and out, as memories from his past suddenly becomes clear as day; accounting for his glass-is-half-empty persona, as well as the anima in which we discover a man full of warmth and love.
In theme and sentiment, it reminded me a great deal of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and works beautifully as a companion piece to The Seventh Seal. The soul-searching, the existential reflections - it not only mirrors Bergman's own inner struggles at the time (referred to as his "middle period") but also serves as an insightful clue to the subversive, independent thought patterns that shaped the modern Swedish mindset and made it what it is today.
If I'm going to fault the film for anything, it's that shifts in dialogue between poetic and folksy aren't always in concert. For the most part, the screenplay nails it, so it's by no means a major issue, but enough to place it half a star away from a perfect score. Apart from that, however, a deeply mesmerizing meditation on life, death, faith and regret. Riveting performance by Victor Sjöström as Dr. Borg and a magnificent film altogether, which became even more captivating by the fact that I have traveled on some of the same roads as they do in the film (both scenery-wise and spiritually I should say).
Yet, to put it all in words, as I have attempted here, is rather futile when it comes to Bergman. There's not a film by him that I have seen so far that haven't submerged me in a flood of ethereal contemplation. Timeless and spellbinding, it's a maelstrom, however, that I'm more than happy to swirl about in.

Leading online eyewear retailer responds to the growing demand by offering consumers high quality prescription eyeglasses priced as low as $6.95 through a personalized, visually appealing and easy-to-use site powered by .
Online prescription eyewear retailer Zenni Optical is using Oracle Commerce to provide customers with a technically sophisticated but simple-to-use commerce environment that is increasing sales and personalizing the customer experience.
Zenni Optical, which makes every pair of eyeglasses to the customer's specifications and maintains a product return rate of less than .5 percent, used Oracle Commerce to help make the site easy for customers to browse, choose and specify glasses without mistakes.
Oracle Commerce enables Zenni Optical customers to upload their photo to "try on" lenses virtually for look and fit.
The Oracle Commerce platform also helps Zenni Optical provide customers with faster, easier checkout and a content-rich shopping experience with relevant recommendations and integrated ratings and reviews.
In addition, Oracle Commerce is vertically integrated with the company's manufacturing facility and its customer service operations to provide better insight into order status and shipment.
Oracle Commerce also gives Zenni Optical better control over promotions, search results and recommendations, and enables the business to update product information on the fly.
Zenni Optical transitioned to Oracle Commerce because growth had outpaced an existing Magento platform.
"The personalization of customers' experience is crucial because we are in the industry of not just eyeglasses but trends and fashion," said Julia Zhen, Chief Operating Officer, Zenni Optical. "We have pioneered the business model that can potentially expand the entire marketplace for prescription eyewear. This ecommerce transformation has been crucial in anticipation of a sustained sales growth and our ongoing needs for ensuring an excellent customer experience. Oracle Commerce has been an integral part of our technology strategy which provides the necessary conditions for Zenni to realize its great potential."

Savannah port truck drivers
continue their battle for more pay and benefits.
Protesters gathered Tuesday
morning for a rally outside the Georgia Ports Authority Headquarters in Garden
City holding signs and waving to oncoming traffic.
The truck drivers say the main
issue is their classification as "independent contractors," which
they say keeps them from getting the same pay and rights as if they were
regular full-time employees.
"Being misclassified, we
can't get any type of help and get anything done the correct way. Our voices
are not heard as they call us independent contractors, we have no voice in this
industry," said Carol Cauley, truck driver.
The drivers have delivered a letter to the executive
director of the Georgia Ports Authority requesting a public statement on this
issue and possibly even a meeting.

Printing out body parts? Cornell University researchers showed it's possible by creating a replacement ear using a 3D printer and injections of living cells.
The work reported Wednesday is a first step toward one day growing customized new ears for children born with malformed ones, or people who lose one to accident or disease.
It's part of the hot field of tissue regeneration, trying to regrow all kinds of body parts. Scientists hope using 3D printing technology might offer a speedier method with more lifelike results.
If it pans out, "this enables us to rapidly customize implants for whoever needs them," said Cornell biomedical engineer Lawrence Bonassar, who co-authored the research published online in the journal PLoS One.
This first-step work crafted a human-shaped ear that grew with cartilage from a cow, easier to obtain than human cartilage, especially the uniquely flexible kind that makes up ears. Study co-author Dr Jason Spector of Weill Cornell Medical Center is working on the next step - how to cultivate enough of a child's remaining ear cartilage in the lab to grow an entirely new ear that could be implanted in the right spot.
Wednesday's report is "a nice advancement," said Dr. Anthony Atala, director of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, who wasn't involved in the new research.
Three-dimensional printers, which gradually layer materials to form shapes, are widely used in manufacturing. For medicine, Atala said the ear work is part of broader research that shows "the technology now is at the point where we can in fact print these 3-dimensional structures and they do become functional over time."
Today, people who need a new ear often turn to prosthetics that require a rod to fasten to the head. For children, doctors sometimes fashion a new ear from the stiffer cartilage surrounding ribs, but it's a big operation. Spector said the end result seldom looks completely natural. Hence the quest to use a patient's own cells to grow a replacement ear.
The Cornell team started with a 3D camera that rapidly rotates around a child's head for a picture of the existing ear to match. It beams the ear's geometry into a computer, without the mess of a traditional mould or the radiation if CT scans were used to measure ear anatomy.
"Kids aren't afraid of it," said Bonassar, who used his then-5-year-old twin daughters' healthy ears as models.
From that image, the 3D printer produced a soft mould of the ear. Bonassar injected it with a special collagen gel that's full of cow cells that produce cartilage - forming a scaffolding. Over the next few weeks, cartilage grew to replace the collagen. At three months, it appeared to be a flexible and workable outer ear, the study concluded.
Now Bonassar's team can do the process even faster by using the living cells in that collagen gel as the printer's "ink".
The 3D technology directly layers the gel into just the right ear shape for cartilage to cover, without having to make a mould first.
The next step is to use a patient's own cells in the 3D printing process.
Spector, a re-constructive surgeon, is focusing on children born without a fully developed external ear, a condition called microtia. They have some ear cartilage-producing cells in that tissue, just not enough. So he's experimenting with ways to boost those cells in the lab, "so we can grow enough of them from that patient to make an ear," he explained.
That hurdle aside, cartilage may be the tissue most amenable to growing with the help of 3D printing technology, he said. That's because cartilage doesn't need blood vessels growing inside it to survive.

Just hours after announcing that Shaquille O'Neal would be becoming part owner of the Sacramento Kings franchise, the team is making more news, this time in regards to player contracts.
According to ESPN's Marc Stein, volatile big man DeMarcus Cousins is expected to sign a near max deal with the Kings sometime before their training camp, which will begin next week.
Per Stein:
Sacramento Kings big man DeMarcus Cousins is on course to see his contract extended before the Oct. 31 extension deadline for 2010 first-round picks, according to sources with knowledge of the talks.
Two sources told ESPN.com that Cousins could actually have a deal wrapped up before the Kings open training camp next week in Santa Barbara, Calif.
The Kings have little to lose here considering Cousins, who possesses All-Star talent will always be moveable, even if the return isn't overly fantastic.
Cousins will be next in a relatively long line of 2010 draftees who have already or will be signing their contract extensions. The former Kentucky Wildcats big man is seeking a five year deal worth $80 million dollars.

As a UI framework developer it is part of my job to provide ways to customize the appearance and behavior of my controls. In many cases this is done by allowing the framework user to register a factory on a control. In the past I would have created a factory interface for this and provided one or more default implementations within the framework.
These things are done differently in JavaFX and I have started to embrace it for my own work. JavaFX uses a generic interface called javafx.util.Callback wherever a piece of code is needed that produces a result (R) for a given parameter (P).
The interface looks like this:
public interface Callback
 { public R call(P param); }
At first I didn't like using this interface because my code was loosing verbosity: I no longer had self-explaining interface names. But in the end I realized that the advantages overweight the lack of verbosity. The advantages being:
- We end up writing less code. No specialized interface, no default implementations.
- The developer using the API does not have to remember different factories, instead he can focus on the object that he wants to create and the parameters that are available to him.
- The Callback interface is a functional interface. We can use Lambda expressions, which makes the code more elegant and we once again have to write less code.
Case Study
The FlexGanttFX framework contains a control called Dateline for displaying (surprise) dates. Each date is shown in its own cell. The dateline can display different temporal units (ChronoUnit from java.time, and SimpleUnit from FlexGanttFX). A factory approach is used to build the cells based on the temporal unit shown.
Before I was using the callback approach I had the following situation: an interface called DatelineCellFactory with exactly one method createDatelineCell(). I was providing two default implementations called ChronoUnitDatelineCellFactory and SimpleUnitDatelineCellFactory. By using Callback I was able to delete all three interfaces / classes and in the skin of the dateline I find the following two lines instead:
dateline.setCellFactory(SimpleUnit.class, unit -> new SimpleUnitDatelineCell()); dateline.setCellFactory(ChronoUnit.class, unit -> new ChronoUnitDatelineCell());
Two lines of code instead of three files! I think this example speaks for itself.

i didnt know people were bashing him. If they are come on guys the man is almost 40 and hes like the fastest guy in the league. Him, graham, and garcia were the only things goin for this offense last year. Take Galloway out and its not that hard to beat the bucs.
When he is on his game its tough to beat the bucs or at least keep it from being a shootout.
Having Galloway as our 2nd option would make this team THAT much better.
W/o checking stats i would say that clayton out played Galloway the last weeks of the season.
