Access "What will the next big data center transformation look like?"
This article is part of the December/January issue, Volume 2, Issue 1 issue of Modern Infrastructure e-zine: The Data Center of the Future is More Science and Less Fiction
It's more science and less fiction: the next big data center transformation will see adoption and refinement of many of the technologies that have already demonstrated value in the enterprise. Sara stopped for a moment to sip her morning coffee and watch the live feed of a stunning sunrise over the Sierra Nevada mountain range displayed across the viewing wall in her office. It was a welcome distraction from her 12-hour shift in corporate's IT management bunker deep below New Mexico's desert. The moment's peace was broken by a tweeting alarm as her virtual assistant flickered to life. "I'm sorry to interrupt you, Sara," the hologram said. "What is it, Ivan?" Sara snapped, dabbing spilled coffee from her blouse. "Is that router backbone in Newark saturated again?" "No, Sara. There is a critical power alarm at the Reykjavík facility." The hologram gestured toward the viewing wall, opening a real-time diagram of the power grid and another detailed utility map of Iceland's capital city. "Atlantic storms have caused a catastrophic fault in local power ... Access >>>

DC Shocker: DC Doesn't Turn Minority Female Character into Cat
- Written by ThanosCopter on Wednesday, May 08 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: DC's The Source
Last week, we showed you a promo picture of Bronze Tiger, the former African American superhero turned New 52 anthropomorphic cat. This week, DC has released a new image, featuring Cheshire, the DC villain and former Roy Harper love interest.
You'll recall that Cheshire was a main villain on the cancelled Young Justice series and also happens to be a female character of non-Caucasian descent, which is the DC equivalent to being a leper who also happens to be a Cleveland sports fan. So, when DC revealed that they were reintroducing the character in Red Hood and the Outlaws, we presumed that they turned her into a naked cat creature with DDD boobs and a pelvis that could rotate 360 degrees independent of the rest of her body and incorporated some sort of mildly racist Asian motif into her makeup/face tattoos.
Huh, that's....that's not bad for a female DC character. Her midriff is actually covered. Her boobs are only sort of hanging out of her costume. And hey, her legs, which are entirely exposed by the short, short skirt she's wearing, is largely covered up by leg holsters and thigh high boots! And instead of Asian tattoos, it looks like she has cat stripes, which should cancel out the Internet outrage (because, y'know, the Internet loves cats).
Could this be the beginning of a new age of DC treating their female characters with respect? Well, probably not. But hey, at least they haven't regressed further since yesterday. And for DC, that's an accomplishment.

Bottle cages have also received the lightweight treatment with materials such as carbon, titanium and alloy often used. These cages will accept water bottles from 500ml up to 1,000ml, making it possible to carry 2,000ml of fluid on your bike. It's also worth using an Energy drink whilst riding as these will help replace minerals lost through sweating.

Helping the nose know: Researcher answers 100-year-old question about how olfactory feedback mechanism works
More than a century after it was first identified, Harvard scientists are shedding new light on a little-understood neural feedback mechanism that may play a key role in how the olfactory system works in the brain.
As described in a December 19 paper in Neuron by Venkatesh Murthy, Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology, researchers have, for the first time, described how that feedback mechanism works by identifying where the signals go, and which type of neurons receive them. Three scientists from the Murthy lab were involved in the work: Foivos Markopoulos, Dan Rokni and David Gire.
"The image of the brain as a linear processor is a convenient one, but almost all brains, and certainly mammalian brains, do not rely on that kind of pure feed-forward system," Murthy explained. "On the contrary, it now appears that the higher regions of the brain which are responsible for interpreting olfactory information are communicating with lower parts of the brain on a near-constant basis."
Though researchers have known about the feedback system for decades, key questions about its precise workings, such as which neurons in the olfactory bulb receive the feedback signals, remained a mystery, partly because scientists simply didn't have the technological tools needed to activate individual neurons and individual pathways.
"One of the challenges with this type of research is that these feedback neurons are not the only neurons that come back to the olfactory bulb," Murthy explained. "The challenge has always been that there's no easy way to pick out just one type of neuron to activate."
To do it, Murthy and his team turned to a technique called optogenetics.
Using a virus that has been genetically-modified to produce a light-sensitive protein, Murthy and his team marked specific neurons, which become active when hit with laser light. Researchers were then able to trace the feedback mechanism from the brain's processing centers back to the olfactory bulb.
Reaching that level of precision was critical, Murthy explained, because while olfactory bulb contains many "principal" neurons which are responsible for sending signals on to other parts of the brain, it is also packed with interneurons, which appear to play a role in formatting olfactory information as it comes into the brain.

nate robinson
Each day that there's a playoff game, we'll have three things to watch in the NBA playoffs. Each note will be accompanied by a contest. We'll announce winners after each round. Here's today's three things to watch:
1) Miami bouncing back. Even without Derrick Rose, Kirk Hinrich, and Luol Deng -- again -- the Chicago Bulls shocked the Miami Heat with a 93-86 victory in Miami in Game 1, thanks to improbable performances yet again from Nate Robinson, Jimmy Butler, and Joakim Noah. After losing Game 1, Miami has to feel an impetus to defend its home court, and LeBron James is always due for a dominating performance. I am notoriously terrible at predictions, but I smell a blowout cooking. Is tonight the night the wheels finally fall off for a beaten-up Chicago team?
2) Stephen Curry. Before Game 1 of the Golden State Warriors-San Antonio Spurs series, I said that no player in the league has a light as green as Stephen Curry, and his otherworldly shooting ability makes him a threat for a huge scoring night in any game. Sure enough, Curry dropped a 44-point outburst on the Spurs in a thrilling 129-127 overtime loss -- outscoring his next two teammates combined by a full six points. The Warriors offense runs through Curry as its first and second option. Will lightning strike twice again?
3) Nate Robinson. Perhaps the most improbable of all storylines in this year's playoffs is Nate Robinson's sudden emergence as an offensive juggernaut. Through eight playoff games, Robinson has averaged 18.3 points in 31.3 minutes per game, shooting 50.4% from the field and 36.6% from deep. Robinson, unbelievably, is doing most of his damage when the game matters most: he leads the entire NBA playoffs in points per game in the fourth quarter with 8.3, including 11 against the Heat in Game 1. The Bulls will need him to come through once again to have a shot against the Heat in Game 2.
No one said it better than John Schuhmann: tonight's Game 7 is a "referendum" on all things Brooklyn and all things Nets. In their first playoff series in the borough, the Nets have a chance to win a Game 7 at home for the first time in Brooklyn history -- and that includes the Dodgers.
In honor of Game 7, here's seven things I'm keeping a close eye on heading into tonight.
The franchise
Deron Williams signed with the Brooklyn Nets in July knowing that this was coming: perhaps not a Game 6, but an opportunity to lead the Brooklyn Nets past the first round of the playoffs in their inaugural season in Brooklyn and for the first time since the 2006-07 season. Williams has had a sometimes-scintillating, sometimes-quiet first round: Williams has had two excellent games (1 and 4), three solid games (3, 5, 6), and one awful shooting night (1-9 in Game 2) in this series. He's had a game-defining dunk and disappeared for the better part of an entire half. Williams's performance in Game 7 could be a career-defining moment.
The two-man tandemAndray Blatche and Brook Lopez played 13 minutes together in Game 6 after playing 16 minutes together in three games all series. It was their worst tandem performance of the series -- the team only shot 5-17 with the two on the floor -- but they still outscored the Bulls 24-21. In 49 minutes this series (or basically one full game), the Nets have outscored Chicago 115-74 when Blatche-Lopez share the floor, and have been outscored 509-488 when they don't. The Bulls will play shorthanded again tonight, and Joakim Noah has played 176 playoff minutes on one plantar-fasciitis-plagued foot. P.J. Carlesimo may not alter his starting lineup -- and in a game like this, I don't blame him -- but if there is any time for these two to get as many minutes as possible to pound a weakened Chicago frontline into submission, it's tonight.
The big man
Key to that two-man tandem is Brook Lopez, the team's steadiest contributor all season. He hasn't skipped a beat in the playoffs, scoring 20 points in each of his first five playoff games before a 17-point performance in Game 6. Offensively, Lopez hasn't done anything special or different in these six playoff games: he's finding open space in the paint, backing down Noah in the post (though Nets interim head coach P.J. Carlesimo called curiously fewer post-ups for Lopez in Game 6), and supplementing easy points near the rim and put-backs with his 18-foot jumper. Lopez's defense has been surprising this series: while he's still struggled to defend pick-and-rolls, Lopez has keyed in more defending the paint, and the numbers reflect it: the Bulls shoot 48.2% in the paint with Lopez in the game, compared to 58.7% with him on the bench, and Lopez has had multiple blocks in five of six playoff games (including a seven-block explosion in Game 3).
One indictment of Lopez's defense: through six games, Joakim Noah leads the playoffs with 24 offensive rebounds on one foot. He's taken advantage of weak team defense to slip to the rim for easy points. He's without a doubt been limited -- he's shooting just 38% from the field in the playoffs -- but Noah's been a key cog in non-scoring offense for Chicago.
The Nets need Lopez to do what he's always done, plus just a bit more, to ensure sealing the deal tonight.
The 27-19 Brooklyn Nets play host to the 28-17 Chicago Bulls tonight in Brooklyn. Here's three things to watch in tonight's contest... MORE →

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich placed fourth, followed by Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who then announced he is going back to Texas to reassess his campaign. Rep....Jan 04, 2012 | Story
Iowa Tea Party Chair on Bachmann, Paul, Santorum's Diverging Paths and Obama's Re-Election ChallengeMinnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann won the Iowa straw poll in August but placed sixth with just 5 percent of the vote in last night's Iowa caucus. We discuss the results with Ryan Rhodes, a Bachmann supporter and chairman of the Iowa Tea Party. Rhodes says Bachmann's poor showing stems from a surge of Tea Party voters swinging their vote over to Rick Santorum instead of third-place candidate Ron Paul. Regarding the Occupy movement...Jan 04, 2012 | Story
Many Iowans from both sides of the political aisle say they voted largely out of protest to the available field of leading candidates in Tuesday's caucuses rather than having a candidate they strongly support. Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum secured second place in the state's Republican caucus with a last-minute boost from Christian evangelicals opposed to Mitt Romney. "I think [Santorum] succeeded by being a...Jan 04, 2012 | Story
California and New York City lawmakers are introducing measures today calling for a constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United, the controversial 2010 Supreme Court ruling that characterizes political spending as free speech and opened the floodgates for unlimited corporate spending on election campaigns.

Iowa is awash in millions of dollars of negative campaign ads funded by so-called super PACs as voters head to their caucuses in the first real test of the 2012 election.

"If it is this kind of overwhelming flood of negative ads, literally flipping on a dime to take down any candidate...Jan 03, 2012 | Story
Bestselling author and Harper's Magazine columnist Thomas Frank argues that as President Barack Obama fails to provide a coherent, progressive economic alternative, the right has staged an unlikely comeback — despite the ongoing fallout from the 2008 financial crisis for which its trademark policies were largely responsible.

With the Iowa caucus less than two weeks away and the Republican presidential race still up for grabs, we take an in-depth look at the state of politics and money and how last year's U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v.

Home > Generations of Wellness > Navigating Your Health Plan > Knowing When to Seek Emergency Care
When facing unexpected medical conditions, you may want to go to the emergency room first. But this may not always be your best choice. At the ER, true emergencies are usually treated first. Other cases must wait - sometimes for hours. And it may cost you more.
If it's not urgent, it may be best to go to your primary care doctor. Your doctor knows you and your health history. He or she can access your medical records. Plus, your doctor can provide follow-up care and refer you to specialists.
If it's not an emergency, consider contacting the NurseLineSM.
NurseLine and Live Nurse Chat services can help you make smart health care decisions with immediate access to experienced registered nurses. You can:
To talk to a NurseLine nurse, call the customer care number on the back of your I.D. card. Or if you prefer talking to a nurse online, log in to myuhc.com to access Live Nurse Chat. To get there:
myuhc.com >> Live Nurse Chat
Sometimes, you may need care fast. If your primary care physician is unavailable, you may want to try an urgent care center or retail health clinic in your network. Some employers also offer on-site health services for minor ailments. Chances are you won't have to wait as long as at the ER. You may pay less, too.
Urgent care centers and retail health clinics can typically treat things like:
In an emergency, go to the ER. Consider seeking immediate assistance for:

Dreyfoos assistant principal shares memories of two custodians killed last month

As it does every month, the Palm Beach County School Board on Wednesday held a moment of silence for district employees who had passed away recently.
This time, that included custodians Christopher Marshall and Ted Orama, who were killed last month at Alexander W. Dreyfoos Jr. School of the Arts.
Before the board held its moment of silence, Dreyfoos Assistant Principal Suzanne Smith came before the board to share her memories of the two custodians.

Buffalo's Doug Marrone on ex-Pats coach Pepper Johnson: 'I think he brings a lot to our organization'
|02.20.14 at 9:35 pm ET
INDIANAPOLIS — As far as Bills coach Doug Marrone was concerned, it was a no-brainer.
When Pepper Johnson left the Patriots shortly after the end of the 2013 season, Marrone saw the opportunity to add someone with an impressive resume to his coaching staff — as well as weaken a division rival. So it wasn't a surprise when Johnson joined the Buffalo staff as the linebackers coach last month.
"When we played New England and Pepper was the defensive line coach, I thought those guys did a great job up front," Marrone said Thursday at the combine when asked about Johnson, who spent 26 years working with Bill Belichick as a player and then an assistant. "Obviously, we know a lot about him as a player. I think he brings a lot to our organization, someone that's obviously been a part of five Super Bowls, someone that has a great intensity about himself.
"He was a great pro. I think he'll bring a lot to our football team not only in the classroom, but some of the stuff on the field and off the field as our team continues to grow."

The most effective method to awe her even in a retreat. This post is made by best free online dating sites.
Is the current financial atmosphere having any impact on dating? There are clashing reports expressing both cases – the solid state of the dating business – be that internet dating, go betweens and so forth vs. the inverse – a downturn in a few numbers on the paid dating locales and a diminishment in some dating exercises. Most individuals could view dating as an optional cost; then again, numerous individuals see this as a key aspects of their life, especially in a bleak monetary atmosphere where fun and fervor might be found on the dating scene or love and backing in another and progressing relationship. Subsequently, they are eager to keep using cash on dating and discovering somebody. http://relationships.ifpedia.com/rise-of-online-dating-sites/online-senior-dating-sites/
Will regardless you inspire her in case you're between employments or viewing the pennies?
The monetary downturn has brought work misfortunes and the forecasts are that these will keep on happening through the one year from now. There are misfortunes in all cases in all levels and in numerous commercial ventures. In any case, this won't be for eternity. The most critical thing you have to do on the off chance that you are in this circumstance is to recall this is transitory and location your attitude so it stays positive and hopeful. I think it is paramount to be truthful and state unmistakably where you are at with any date. A thought is to say that beforehand you were utilized as a x, however now you are out of work yet are doing y and z to help you either get livelihood or enhance your shots. Don't be hesitant to say you have to watch your pennies right now whilst you ride this storm. Accept it or not your acceptable explanations as to where you are at, what your arrangements are to overcome where you are at and your expense cut measures might be seen as alluring qualities by ladies. You are seen as legit, conclusive, an issue solver and somebody who has monetary administration abilities.
A couple of thoughts of what and where to go
There are such a large number of things you can accomplish in vain or alongside nothing, for example,
o Plan a reasonable cookout, with either each of you (or just you) bringing something along and revel in it in a pleasant area, for example, by a shoreline, stream or in the recreation center
o The exhibition hall or symbolization display in the city or town closest to you
o Go wine tasting together
o Check out your nearby Farmer's business sectors and revel in together
o Take a stroll in the bramble, make a go at cycling or comparative outside action
o Take a beautiful drive
o Check out any free occasions in your general vicinity, for example, music, verse readings or comparative
The way that you have been innovative, thought about a few choices, arranged ahead and sorted out a date and possibly made it an astonishment might be extremely charming. You minded enough and were clever enough to get it going.
Imagine a scenario where she acquires more than you.
So your date is winning more than you? Possibly that is simply makeshift while you are discovering an occupation or perhaps she generally will. Most fellows sort of like the thought of a lady who has extraordinary winning potential yet numerous do battle with the thought of losing that part of being the fundamental provider and inspiring a lady with status, cash, control, whatever it may be. Whether its transitory or lasting you both need to get your head around this one else it will consume you up. Deal with your self regard, do the best you can to land a position or do the best you can to do well in your occupation furthermore take a gander at what you can do to level out the trade. It may be that you help her with errands around the house or that your dazzling identity is sufficient to win her over! Most importantly, be open and fair and in the event that you can, pronounce that you might want to be putting forth more on the monetary side than you presently are. The insignificant certainty that you recognize the contrast can help incredibly.
Could you be excessively unrestrained?
Approve so you are sitting pretty and cash isn't an issue for you right now and you would like to awe her still, what to do? On the off chance that you've lavished her with indulgence in the past and it has worked for you, you may keep on doing so. Be that as it may, you do must be watchful, particularly right off the bat in dating. The one thing you need to maintain a strategic distance from is looking excessively edgy. Tossing around your cash can make you resemble this is all you bring to the table. Additionally be mindful that she may feel uncomfortable, feel that she isn't at your level, insufficient and feel she is not able to respond. Tread painstakingly and with deference.
We are all mindful of the cinch tightening around us. Being open and fair, best free dating sites insightful, innovative, clever and hopeful will do much to awe her even in these attempting times.

Why would someone who has a secret to make money so easily would want to sell it to you. If that's so easy, why he doesn't do it himself.There's nothing easy or free in life.SCAM--Martin - VoIP.ms
He claims he makes millions using his plan and he shares it because he is a good guy.
I'm no fan of Anthony Morrison, however I wouldn't call what he's doing a scam. The guy is selling an educational program. It's really no different than the 'Learn how to Flip Houses' programs on the late-night infomercials.That being said, he's not being clear up front that his program requires a large investment to learn, is based on paid advertising, and has a steep learning curve. I've managed $50K+/month PPC campaigns for many years and finding profitable keywords is not that easy. Not to mention that keyword prices change, trends change, and affiliate offers change. Also, doing a good job requires money. Money for tools, software, and to get started. You have to fund PPC campaigns after all - and making $100/day profit requires at least $100/day in advertising.I wouldn't want to try teaching web marketing to the general population for exactly this reason. It requires lots of time, money, and work to do well. It would be a challenge to teach 1 person to make money online - let alone a whole room full. I doubt that more than 10% of Anthony's clients ever make a dollar - and less than 1% make back what they spent on the program.Still, that doesn't make it a scam. A scam by definition is a con. It's done with the intent of taking money and giving nothing in return. Those nigerian emails are scams. The 'you won a huge cash award - just send us $499 to claim it' are scams. Anthony's educational program probably does give people the foundation for making money online, and some people likely have made money after going to his seminar. Misleading? Yes. Overhyped? Yes. But Scam? Nope.
Your definition is way off. When something/anything is misleading, then it is a scam. 100% scam. AM claims he is hardly working and making hundreds of thousands of dollars each month and you can too (if you pay enough). All scams are not of the Nigerian 419 type only and buying into his "coaching programs" is a scam as there is nothing more than further attempts for more coaching and more coaching upsells one on top of another to allegedly fast track your earnings ability which doesn't happen.All jobs do NOT require that you spend large amounts of money. Now there are franchises that require an investment, and automotive technicians invest in tools to perform their jobs, but there are many more jobs (85%) that do NOT require anything to be spent in order to be able to perform the work and they are in the majority to be sure.--Whats the point of owning a supercar if you cant scare yourself stupid from time to time?
Sorry Doc, but your definition of scam is off. From dictionary.com-Scam: a confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, esp. for making a quick profit; swindle. To cheat or defraud with a scam.There's nothing about 'misleading' in the definition. If you want to go there, then pretty much EVERYTHING is a scam by your definition. The happy people in the commercial eating McDonalds? (barf) SCAM. The woman on deaths door who takes DayQuil and suddenly feels amazing? SCAM. The Tide detergent that removes ALL stains immediately? SCAM.Unfortunately our society requires that the effectiveness of everything be grossly overstated in order to get anyone's attention.Of course I'm assuming that it's possible to make money by following AM's course. If it's NOT possible, then of course it's a scam.Regarding your second paragraph - not sure what point you're trying to make there? Pretty much any non-W2 'job' requires an investment. That doesn't make his program a scam.
I'm not going to get mixed up in semantics. I'm sure that AM's activities are 100% legal. But, I also know, I can find other educational materials for similar systems **much** cheaper on the internet, and now that I know what I'm doing, I can find the information I need for free.Its not a question of "misleading" at the end of the day, its a question of value.--standard disclaimers apply.
Hey Olds - not so much depth of vocabulary as it is if misleading=scam. You didn't address my other points. Everything in the United States is marketed in a misleading way - that doesn't make them a scam. Therefore just because something is misleading does NOT make it a scam. You even had to go through several words to connect the 2. Sorry, that doesn't make them synonyms.My issue is that the word scam is thrown about way too much these days. Like I said - everything is marketed in a misleading way (look at cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, clothes, EVERYTHING) - but for something to be a scam there has to be intent to steal or con behind it.You could argue that AM is knowingly ripping people off - and you might be right - however if the knowledge he's selling gives SOME of his students the skills to make money online, then his product is not a scam.Not everyone who goes to medical school ends up being a doctor (thank goodness). That doesn't make medical school a scam - just means that not everyone has the proper mindset or skill set to do it.
@MGD - Wow. Well, like I said I'm no fan of AM's, but some of those tweets and PMs really take the cake. The guy obviously isn't trying to help anyone but himself based on most it. All the 'hustle time' and 'paper stacks' make him look like the douchebag he probably is.I officially retract my position on Anthony Morrison and his product.@Olds - I don't think what I was saying was THAT ludicrous (or silly). Everything is marketed in a misleading way. That's why Marketers are right there with Lawyers in the slime department.Also, If you take the time to speak to small business owners, I think you'll find that there are PLENTY of surprises in ALL businesses. Have you ever looked at business math and accounting? Huge surprise to me. At any rate, I didn't read the entire thread first (see my @MGD above) it is 72 pages long after all - and am not shilling if by that term you mean: "a person who publicizes or praises something or someone for reasons of self-interest, personal profit, or friendship or loyalty."I don't think I've tried to make any money on here - haven't posted a link to my site or anything. Nor have I posed as a customer of AM saying his product was good. In fact I've already said I think it's way overpriced.I only posted on this thread at all because I think the term 'scam' is dramatically overused (pushes my buttons obv.) - and because my wife saw the Anthony Morrison infomercial and asked me if I knew anything about the guy. I don't watch much TV so hadn't seen his advertisement, but in looking him up found this thread.I still don't think that what Anthony is doing is a scam per se - at least no more so than any of the 'learn how to flip houses' courses or any of the other get rich quick stuff you see on late-night tv. I agree that all of that stuff is preying on people who are the least equipped to afford it or actually do anything with the knowledge. If the people were smarter/more knowledgeable about what they were getting into, they'd obviously never do it.That being said, people need to take some personal responsibility and be smart enough to NOT give this guy and others like him their money. I hate all the nanny state controls and laws that keep getting put in place to save people from themselves. I understand that this thread exists to keep people from making the same mistake that many others have made and am all for keeping this thread at the top of the results. I'll even give this thread some link love from some of my sites to help keep it up here.Peace.

"The wise sees knowledge and action as one; they see truly."
The Bhagavad Gita
Sacred TeachingsBhagavad Gita
Gita Teachings - Soul Mates
The following is an excerpt from Session 2 of the Bhagavad-Gita teachings hosted by Derek O'Neill at the Creacon Prema Agni Retreat Centre in Wexford, Ireland.
′I hear people talk about, "Oh! I'd love to meet my soul mate". Great. I know thousands of people who have met their soul mates, only to find out that they weren't soul mates; they were cellmates. Imprisoned they were. Right? Imprisoned? Why? Because I'm sure you seen the very happy couple who grow old gracefully together, smiling their way through. Your poster pictures for granny and granddad, and then one dies and the other one falls apart. Guess what? Back onto the wheel for two of them.
So is that what you want? Is that the soul mate you're looking for? Or is the soul mate the Atma mate? You and Your Self in union, whilst sharing that union with another with the unattached element. And that's the battle that all the Arjunas have to look at. That's your real battle.
You can be with somebody; you can love somebody; you can sex somebody; you can whatever, as long as you have your eye on the goal. Nothing will taste sweet except that union. I can guarantee you all that. So lift your consciousness. Don't just accept second best. It is your birthright to have only the amrita of love. Nothing that this world can produce should be good enough for you. If you are willing to accept what this world can give, bondage is yours, suffering is yours, and long is your journey on this dimension. ′

|The Long Tradition of Debt Cancellation in Mesopotamia and Egypt from 3000 to 1000 BC
Today debt repayment has become a taboo subject, but we must pierce the smoke-screen of creditors and re-establish the historical truth. Repeated and generalised debt cancellation has occurred throughout history - often as a result of major social and political upheaval, writes Eric Toussaint.
19th September 2012 - Published by The Committee for the Cancellation of the Third World Debt (CADTM)
The Hammurabi Code is in the Louvre Museum, in Paris. The term "code" is inappropriate, because what Hammurabi left us is a set of rules and judgements on relations between public authorities and citizens. Hammurabi began his 42-year reign as "king" of Babylon (located in present-day Iraq), in 1792 BC. What most history books fail to mention is that, like other governors of the City-State of Mesopotamia, Hammurabi proclaimed the official cancellation of citizens' debts owed to the government, high-ranking officials, and dignitaries. The so-called Hammurabi Code is thought to date back to 1762 BC. Its epilogue proclaims that "the powerful may not oppress the weak; the law must protect widows and orphans (…) in order to bring justice to the oppressed". The many ancient documents deciphered from cuneiform script have enabled historians to establish beyond any doubt that four general cancellations took place during Hammurabi's reign, in 1792, 1780, 1771, and 1762 BC.
In Hammurabi's time, economic, political, and social life were organised around the Temple and the Palace. Those two closely enmeshed institutions, with their numerous artisans, workers, and, of course, scribes, constituted the apparatus of the State, not so very different from today's governments. The Temple and the Palace provided their employees with board and lodge: they thus received food rations sufficient for two full meals a day. The peasantry was provided with land (which they rented), tools, draught animals, livestock, and water for irrigation, so that they could grow food for the workers and dignitaries. Thus, the peasants produced barley (their staple grain), oil, fruit, and vegetables, a portion of which, when harvested, they had to pay to the State as rent. As well as the land they cultivated for the Palace and the Temple, the peasants owned their own land, home, livestock, and tools. When the harvest was poor, they accumulated debts. They also incurred debt through loans granted privately by high-ranking officials and dignitaries eager to get rich and to seize the peasants' property in case of default. If peasants were unable to pay off their debts, they could also find themselves reduced to the condition of serfs or slaves; indebtedness could also lead to members of their family being made slaves. In order to ensure social peace and stability, and especially to prevent peasants' living conditions from deteriorating, the authorities periodically cancelled all debt |1| and restored peasants' rights.
General debt cancellations in Mesopotamia over 1000 years
Proclamations of general debt cancellation began long before Hammourabi's reign and continued afterwards. There is evidence of debt cancellation as far back as 2400 BC, six centuries before Hammurabi's reign, in the city of Lagash (Sumer). The most recent instance dates back to 1400 B.C. in Nuzi. In all, historians have identified with certainty about thirty general debt cancellations in Mesopotamia from 2400 to 1400 BC. Michael Hudson |2| is right to claim that general debt cancellation was one of the principal characteristics of Bronze Age societies in Mesopotamia. Indeed, there are various Mesopotamian words for these cancellations, which wiped the slate clean: amargi in Lagash (Sumer), nig-sisa in Ur, andurarum in Ashur, misharum in Babylon, shudutu in Nuzi.
Such proclamations of debt cancellation were an occasion for great festivities, usually at the annual celebration of Spring. It was during the dynasty of Hammurabi's family that the tradition of destroying the tablets upon which the debts were inscribed was inaugurated — the public authorities kept a strict record of debts on tablets conserved in the Temple. When Hammurabi died in 1749 BC after a reign of 42 years, his successor, Samsuiluna, cancelled all debts to the State, and decreed that all tablets should be destroyed except those concerning traders' debts.
The general debt cancellation proclaimed by Ammisaduqa, the last governor of the Hammurabi dynasty who came to the throne in 1646 BC, was very detailed, in a clear attempt to prevent creditors from taking advantage of loopholes. The cancellation decree specified that official creditors and tax collectors who had expropriated peasants should compensate them and return their property, on pain of execution. In cases where a creditor had taken some item of property using pressure, unless he gave it back and/or repaid its worth in full, he would be put to death.
In the wake of this decree, commissions were set up to review all real estate contracts and to eliminate all those which fell under the terms of the debt cancellation proclamation with a view to restoring the prior situation, statu quo ante. The enactment of this decree was facilitated by the fact that the despoiled peasants were usually still working the land, even though it was owned by the creditor. Thus, by cancelling the contracts and making the creditors indemnify the victims, the public authorities restored peasants' rights. A little over two centuries later, the situation was to change for the worse.
The limits of debt cancellation
In Mesopotamia, during the Bronze Age, debt-slaves were freed, unlike other types of slave such as those seized at war. Nevertheless, this debt cancellation must not be presented as if it were a form of social emancipation. It was merely a way of restoring the pre-existing social order, which was rife with forms of oppression. Without wishing to embellish the organisation of these societies of 3000 to 4000 years ago, it should be noted nonetheless that their rulers sought to maintain social cohesion by preventing the constitution of big private domains, and took measures to ensure that peasants enjoyed direct access to the land. They limited the rise of inequality while overseeing the development and maintenance of irrigation systems. Michael Hudson also insists that any decision to declare war was taken by a general assembly of citizens – the "king" did not have the power to make such decisions alone.
It seems that Bronze Age Mesopotamians did not believe in divine creation as the explanation for life on Earth. The ruler, confronted with chaos, reorganised the world to establish normal order and justice.
No further act of debt cancellation has been found for the period after 1400 BC; inequality increased and intensified. Land was taken over by big private land-owners and debt enslavement became commonplace. A large part of the population migrated north-west towards Canaan, with incursions into Egypt, which displeased the Pharaohs.
The ensuing centuries are known by historians of Mesopotamia as the "Dark Ages", because of the dearth of written records. However, we do have evidence of violent social struggles between creditors and debtors.
Egypt: the Rosetta Stone confirms the tradition of debt cancellation
The Rosetta Stone, which was carried off by some of Napoleon's army
in 1799 during his Egyptian Campaign, was deciphered in 1822 by
Jean-François Champollion. Today, it is in the British Museum in London.
Its translation was facilitated by the fact that the Stone bears the
same text in three languages: Ancient Egyptian, Egyptian demotic, and
the Greek of Alexander the Great's era.
Not until the 8th century BC do we find, for Egypt, proclamations of debt cancellation and of liberation for debt slaves. Such a proclamation was made by the Pharaoh Bocchoris (717-11 BC).
One of the fundamental motives for debt cancellation was that the pharaoh wanted at his disposal a peasantry able both to produce plenty of food and to take up arms in military campaigns. For these two reasons, it was important to prevent peasants from being expropriated by creditors.
In neighbouring Assyria, the emperors of the 1st millennium BC also adopted the tradition of debt cancellation, as did the rulers of Jerusalem in the 5th century BC: in 432 BC Nehemiah, no doubt influenced by the old Mesopotamian tradition, proclaimed the cancellation of the debts of all Jews who owed money to their wealthy compatriots. This was at the very time when the Torah was being written. The tradition of general debt cancellation is an integral part of the Jeegwish religion and of early Christian texts, via the Book of Leviticus, which proclaims the obligation to cancel debt every seven years and on every jubilee, that is, every fifty years.
In the present day, debt repayment has become a taboo subject. Heads of State and of governments, central banks, the IMF and the mass media, all present it as though it were inevitable, unquestionable, and obligatory. Citizens must resign themselves to paying off the debt. The only discussion possible focuses on how to distribute the burden of sacrifice needed in order to free up enough budgetary resources to fulfil the commitments of the indebted nation. The governments who have borrowed were elected democratically, goes the reasoning, therefore their actions are legitimate. The debt must be paid off.
We must pierce the smoke-screen of creditors and re-establish the historical truth. Generalised debt cancellations have been enacted repeatedly throughout history. These cancellations correspond to different contexts. In the cases mentioned above, proclamations of general debt cancellation were made at the initiative of rulers concerned with upholding social peace. In some cases, cancellations resulted from social struggles exacerbated by economic crisis and the rise of inequality. This was the case in Ancient Greece and Rome. Other scenarii can also be envisaged, such as debt cancellation decreed by indebted countries that decide to take unilateral sovereign action, and debt cancellation conceded by a victorious country to a vanquished one and/or its allies. One thing is certain: historically speaking debt has always played a major role in social and political upheaval.

What these idiots haven´t figured out is that "income inequality" arguments are not going to get them anywhere.The Middle Class is well aware that it is the Dems policies that are causing the growing disparity in income. Wall Street is getting rich because interest rates are being held artificially low causing the markets to do exceedingly well while people living paycheck to paycheck are being killed by the inflationary results.They know Obama owns the economy and he lied about Obamacare. He can scream income inequality all he wants, but nobody´s buying anymore.

While we´re on the vain mission to ´equalize´ everything, how about romance-equality to make sure socially-awkward folks get their fair share of dates and relationships?Sooner or later that inclination should bring these misguided folks around to responsibility equality, acknowledging all people should be held equally responsible for their own choices and their outcomes.Guaranteeing equal compensation with no corresponding guarantee of equal skill or effort is unsustainable and unjust.

// Some nostalgia //
Seeing as it's May 1st and you guys are making the BIG decision, I felt that it'd be fitting to share a little, sentimental moment I had yesterday that makes me think about you, the incoming, Fall 2014 class :)
Last night I was sifting through a storage container that I keep in my closet. I was trying to find some old photographs to put up on my wall. I hadn't looked through this container for a while and I had totally forgotten about what I chose to store in it. While rediscovering some old memorabilia, I came across the beautiful, white, embossed, Bennington folder that all of you know so well. While mine is all torn and has grayed over time, I quickly and carefully, as if it were some delicate artifact, pulled it out of the container and opened it up.
In it were all the familiar, brown and cream-colored, Bennington letters that I had received my high school, senior year (2 years ago at this point). I had kept all the letters that I got from when I visited the campus, my acceptance letter, my financial aid award letter, and the best one yet, the letter that was placed in the folder that I got when I arrived to campus for Orientation in the fall of 2012. I read through it and I have to say that I couldn't help but get a little teary when I came across this part of the quote by Peter Dinklage '91: "Everyone you need is in this room…together, we have the potential to build something extraordinary."
While I probably read this that very day and glossed over it because I was so overly excited to finally be here, reading it 2 years later made made me think about how true this statement is now that I'm half way through my time here at Bennington.
Everyone that I need is here. It re-enforced every deeply emotional, personal and intellectual conversation and shared experience I've had with my teachers and friends here on campus. Two years ago, I never thought how lucky I'd be to learn and create in an environment where the relationships that I'd create would last beyond my time here — and trust me, I can say this with much certainty even though I still have two years left.
"We most warmly welcome you to this shared adventure." As if the quote before wasn't enough, this final statement at the end of the letter is what really got me.
I hope that each and every one of you who today made the decision to join the family are ready to dive into what will surely be your own unique adventure within our collective, shared adventure that it is to be a student at Bennington College.
~Doug '16~

POZ Review: Into It. Over It. - Intersections
by Becky Kovach, edited by Erik van Rheenen
Fall is so much bigger than the choruses of people singing the praises of sweater weather and pumpkin-flavored-everything. It's a time for change and for contemplation: a somber glow in various hues of orange and red and yellow, dripping gold in the rays of a weakening sun. It's cool, crisp, raw, reflective and perfect timing for the release of Intersections, the highly anticipated new album from Into It. Over It.
Warm guitars and fuzzy vocals greet listeners in opener "New North-Side Air," setting the stage for an album about life and its many turning points. Mastermind Evan Weiss quietly admits that he's "hung up on aging / but letting his age start to show," but he eventually realizes that "fate's got the keys to this place" and there is little he can do to intervene.
"A Curse Worth Believing" speaks more to those situations that cannot be changed. Decisively open and spacious, the song settles in like fall itself: slowly at first and then seemingly in just an instant. The layers of fluttering melodies highlight the tenderness in Weiss' voice as he confesses: "I'd like to think that we could speak sometimes but / what in the world would we have in common / you're barely breaking and I'm mostly broken." The vocals eventually fade into static-y guitars, an ending that somehow feels endless.

Several years ago, I bought a copy of Red Hat Enterprise Linux through Amazon.

Coincidence or not, but a while ago I used to have "erotic photography" books recommended to me all the blimming time by Amazon (on site, not in emails), when I have never purchased or even looked at anything even remotely related. Used to annoy the hell out of me when I'd need to show my girlfriend something. The recommendation feature seems to behave itself these days though. And I'm not even living with my girlfriend at the moment!

Amozon should leave sex toy sales to dedicated websites
I have purchased from amazon before, and shopped with my daughter on amazon but I do not wish my daughter to have possible access to sex toy images on amazon by accident when she is searching for other toys and books. I have bought sex toys online myself and think amazon should leave selling sex toys to dedicated sites like www. soundsnaughty .com or one of the other dedicated sex toy websites. It is a dangerous mix to have adult products on a site that has all age groups using that site.
