The rise of Big Data and the monolithic systems that are now being built on increasingly cloud-based data models is a reality we cannot ignore.
This reality has popularized discussions relating to the core component mechanics of many firms' IT stacks.
Key among these technologies is ERP, or Enterprise Resource Planning to afford it its full moniker. The term can be taken to be a relatively broad expression as it encompasses software applications that oversee the management of suppliers, customer service, order tracking and all manner of demand and supply-related indicators...
... or to put it more simply, ERP systems look after companies' "systems of record" data.
"Indicators" being the operative word, as key performance indicators (KPIs) are used by organizations to appraise and evaluate the accomplishment and success of a particular business activity in which it is engaged.
So far inside the brief history of Enterprise Resource Planning there haven't been too many upsets. Most of the mega brand IT vendors from IBM to HP to SAP to Oracle all have a finger in the ERP pie and Microsoft is even in there too with its Dynamics product.
But for CIOs and the software application developers who connect the synaptic nerves of new deployments, a new subset of ERP (or extension perhaps) is surfacing.
SaaS-focused business management software company NetSuite is creating something of a new paradigm in the ERP space by rolling out a "two-tier" version of ERP that integrates with Oracle. The new offering works to amalgamate on-demand services with on-premise transaction systems.
The two-tier model is intended to allow customers to preserve on-premise ERP investments in Oracle (or indeed in other systems), while equipping global subsidiaries with what is promised to be a more flexible cloud-based ERP/financials system. The end result (in theory) then gives headquarters the real-time visibility it needs, at a lower price.
Given the heavyweight maneuverings going on over at SAP inside its ERP mothership, it is interesting to see NetSuite take what appears to an arguably more deft approach to coupling technologies in this space to augment and expand upon current offerings rather than simply trying to compete on the basis of speed, processing power, performance and general all round rocket power.
The firm is essentially bringing its OneWorld and SuiteCloud Connectors to Oracle and using connectivity technologies from IBM Cast Iron, Informatica, Dell Boomi, Celigo and Pervasive Software.
The concept behind the two-tier ERP twist is that it (in theory) enables subsidiaries to tailor ERP to their own special needs and support their local accounting requirements. It is also supposed to ensure that a remote subsidiary doesn't end up with a burdensome, hard-to-maintain on-premise ERP deployment.
Here's the developer proposition: keep the investment in the existing Oracle E-Business Suite system at the corporate level, but empower subsidiaries and divisions to innovate with a second ERP system that gives them more agility and better total cost of ownership.
NetSuite asserts that this two-tier approach has the advantage of being able to cut deployment time (and costs too) instead of installing on-premise ERP in each smaller division or subsidiary company.
Of course, NetSuite's major shareholder is Larry Ellison so it is also interesting to see the company playing this subtle two-tier approach rather than the usual Oracle "absorb, acquire, assimilate" approach.
Craig Sullivan, VP & GM of international at NetSuite, argues that a new era is dawning in this space and that ageing ERP is a drag on business agility. "The web enables business to go global instantly - reaching many millions of customers in a year or two, whereas it used to take a decade or more to make that type of progress."
Sullivan points to Groupon as an example of the kind of disruption that the Internet enables. The "fastest-growing company in history" grew to revenues of $700+ million in 2010 from $30 million in 2009 - a stunning growth rate of 2,241%.
"This would have been unthinkable just five years ago," says Sullivan. "With the dramatic growth in emerging markets, businesses are looking to quickly tap opportunities in the space of months, not years - before their competitors get there. Outdated ERP, unable to react to and take advantage of change, restricts the agility that is crucial in our increasingly online world."
This new (and it is comparatively) new approach to ERP comes at an interesting time. NetSuite contends that modern demand for real-time information and "boundless flexibility" point to just one answer: the cloud.
As cloud-based intelligently managed and intelligently separated (let's be polite here and say "tiered" rather than separated) ERP now has the chance to come of age, will we grasp this opportunity inside corporate enterprises? Will new cross-functional workflows and reporting processes come about as new sales channels are added and firms are suddenly able to enter new markets as they improve collaboration between internal and external systems?
NetSuite (and Larry Ellison) thinks so. Don't dismiss it without proper analysis.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

First look: Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V shines on
Preview editions of Hyper-V 2012 R2 and System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2 pick up where the strong initial releases left off
Hyper-V 3.0 was perhaps the shiniest of the shining-star features of Windows Server 2012. A number of new capabilities, plus enhancements to existing ones, promise to make Windows Server 2012 R2 an even stronger candidate for the majority of virtualization tasks most organizations need to support. Windows Server 2012 R2 also brings a number of new features to the table specifically aimed at integration with cloud-based services and building out hybrid cloud scenarios.
For larger Hyper-V environments, Microsoft's System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) is the management tool of choice. Managing more than a few virtual machines (VMs) using Hyper-V Manager will quickly become untenable, and almost impossible at any scale. However, it's worth noting that SCVMM 2012 R2 can't perform all tasks supported by Hyper-V Manager at this point in time. This list includes some new R2 features, such as exporting a running VM. Whether these features make it into the final release of SCVMM 2012 R2 remains to be seen.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Virtualization showdown: Microsoft Hyper-V 2012 vs. VMware vSphere 5.1 | 10 great new features in Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V | 10 excellent new features in Windows Server 2012 R2 | Review: Windows Azure shoots the moon ]
At least one change to terminology makes function naming more consistent. In the world of Hyper-V, the term "snapshot" has meant a point-in-time image of a system for later use, should it be necessary to roll back to a previous version. SCVMM has used the term "checkpoint" for the same functionality. Now, whereas Hyper-V Manager in Windows Server 2012 still called it a "snapshot," Hyper-V Manager in the R2 release calls it a "checkpoint." The only remaining exception is the PowerShell command Export-VMSnapshot. You'll also find a Checkpoint-VM cmdlet that will take a snapshot of the specified VM. For all intents and purposes, a checkpoint is the same as a snapshot from previous releases.
A number of features fall into the "new" category in Hyper-V 2012 R2. We'll look at them individually with an eye toward how each makes things easier or faster.
Gen 2 virtual machines
The basic underlying technology of a virtual machine is software emulation of real physical hardware. For the most part, this emulated physical hardware is old and crusty. Microsoft sees this as a problem, particularly when it comes to support for UEFI or secure boot. Security concerns represent a potent motivational factor, so with the goal of reducing the attack footprint, Microsoft took the chance on creating a new base for emulated hardware with a minimal set of components. With this release, the new Gen 2 VMs support only 64-bit versions of Windows 8, Windows 8.1 Preview, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview as guests.

Longtime Google Voice users have had but one dream, total integration with the operating system. We've seen a few bits and pieces roll out from time to time, like support for automatic calling through your Google Voice number and having voicemail directly accessible in the stock dialer. But one feature continues to evade us: sending and receiving SMS messages through Voice with 3rd-party apps. CyanogenMod and Koushik Dutta (Koush) have officially broken that barrier with Voice Plus.
Several hours ago, an Android 4.3 system dump was leaked for the Nexus 4. As it turns out, even though the bootloader and the radios weren't included, the system dump is totally bootable. I'm running it right now. If you want to try it out, it's easy to do so, but be prepared to have your bootloader unlocked and flash some zips via a custom recovery. If you don't know what any of this means, I suggest you get familiarized with Android flashing first.
For the past few hours, I've been observing a curious case of Jeff Williams on Google+. Jeff posted a screenshot of what he claimed was a Nexus 4 he bought from a Googler... with a build of Android 4.3 on it. The same build, JWR66N, that we saw leaked earlier on a Galaxy S4 GPE by SamMobile.
In disbelief, some have called him a hoaxer, but a number of resourceful folks decided to get Jeff on IRC (channel #Android43 on freenode) and worked with him for hours, trying over and over to get the magical system dump that would prove Jeff's story to be real.
It's hard to deny that Android Studio has been a big hit since its announcement at Google I/O this year, and despite the "Early Preview" moniker, developers have been flocking to it. Yesterday afternoon, version 0.2.0 was announced through the Android Developers account on Google+. The new version brings several bug fixes and updates to the IntelliJ IDE, Lint, Gradle, templates, layout rendering, and more. While the list of new features is relatively sparse, what has been added it pretty cool.
HTC has dropped the kernel source files for the HTC First, an AT&T exclusive we reviewed back in May. These source materials will allow the First's [few] developers to provide better support for the device, and make custom kernels a possibility. Of course, this all depends on the development community, and I'm not sure just how much of a following the First has in that regard.
Two kernel source versions are available, for builds 1.08.502.1 and 1.05.502.1.
Last month Google announced that they would remove Argentina from the list of regions supporting paid Android apps in the Google Play Store. The company cited "ongoing issues," likely having to do with rapidly increasing inflation and other economic problems in the country. Google had planned to remove all paid apps and IAP apps from Argentinian developers tomorrow, June 27th. Now the company has reversed its decision, and though they haven't said why, presumably it follows the outcry from the Argentinian developer community.
There's been a lot of speculation about just how Nexus-like the Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play edition phones will be, particularly from a technical / software update standpoint. Now, we have some relatively concrete information that sheds light on these issues.
First and foremost, Google will not directly handle software updates for Google Play edition devices. This has been reported as true, false, and generally disputed quite a lot in the lead-up to the launch.
You know who you are. While the rest of us were waiting for the Google Play Edition HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 to arrive, your mind was elsewhere. You want to get your hands dirty, and now you can. Google has released the kernel and platform open source code for both the HTC One and the Galaxy S4.
Update: When asked about the proprietary binary drivers that one would usually find on the Binaries for Nexus Devices page, Google pointed fingers at the OEMs.
The first rule of Fight Club, is you don't... Wait, that was Project Mayhem? Oh, and this one is Project Anarchy. So many great movie jokes ruined because somebody gave this thing the wrong name. Alright, let's just be serious for a minute.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals rookie Massie can't wait to face team's stars
Bobby Massie does not know why he slipped to the fourth round in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Graded by many to be a second-round talent, that he fell to the Cardinals at 112 is something that will motivate him going forward, as he looks to prove to everyone that he should have been taken sooner.
"I've got a chip on my shoulder, I felt like other teams kind of doubted me, my ability, and so when I put the pads on on Sunday they're going to realize they should have drafted me high," he told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Tuesday.
Massie started the process of proving himself last weekend in the rookie-only minicamp, and is now looking forward to testing his skills against the team's best defenders.
"I'm kind of anxious," Massie said. "I want to block the Darnell Docketts and, they've got a lot of good defensive ends there I'm just ready to compete with."
How Massie fares in OTAs and training camp will go a long way towards determining whether or not he opens the season as a starter. The team has a need at right tackle, and the 6-foot-6, 316-pounder from Mississippi could be exactly what the team needs.
Knowing that, Massie is preparing as if he's going to get a significant amount of playing time this season.
"I'm coming in just hoping to play," he said, noting that veteran Jeremy Bridges is currently listed as the team's starter. "We'll just play it out as camp goes. If I get to start from day one I'll be ecstatic."
While having a fourth-round pick starting from Day 1 may not be a good sign for a team hoping to reach the playoffs, Massie is one of those guys whose draft stock could belie his ability.
The Cardinals can only hope.

Catholic Graduate School of Psychology Renames Clinic: More Services, Personnel and Hours Available
Catholic PRWire
ARLINGTON, VA (September 25, 2013) - Formerly known as the IPS Training Clinic, the Center for Psychological Services opened its doors in August 2013, offering a variety of mental health services along with extended hours and full-time personnel.
Housed on the site of the Institute for the Psychological Sciences (IPS), a graduate school of psychology, the Center for Psychological Services is a training center for IPS doctoral students.
Unlike other psychology training centers, the staff and externs at the Center for Psychological Services have been educated and trained in a groundbreaking curriculum which integrates empirically-proven psychology with the Catholic understanding of the person, marriage and the family.
Issues such as anger management, ADHD, anxiety and depression, marital and family problems, parenting issues, and common childhood problems are some of the concerns addressed.
In addition, a variety of assessment services are offered including educational, cognitive, personality, and vocational/religious.
The Center for Psychological Services is staffed by externs who have completed their master�s degrees and are pursuing their doctoral degrees in clinical psychology.
All the work carried out by the externs is supervised by experienced, licensed clinical psychologists who are on the faculty of the Institute. Stephen Hamel, Ph.D., ABPP, is the Director of the Center for Psychological Services and an associate professor at IPS.
IPS Alumna Dr. Maja Ivankovic, Psy.D., new Assistant Director and Psychology Resident, provides daily supervision and management of the Center�s services.
Dr. Ivankovic also works directly with patients, offering both psychotherapy and psychological assessment.
�With the addition of extended hours, more doctoral externs and a psychology resident, we�re looking forward to serving a greater clientele who in the past may not have been able to access our services,� said Dr. Ivankovic.
The Center is now open year-round, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.�5:00 p.m. and clients pay on a a sliding-fee scale for services based on income.
To learn more about the Center for Psychological Services, please visit http://ipsciences.edu/cps/. To make an appointment with a therapist, please call (703) 418-2111 and leave a confidential voicemail for the administrative staff.
The Center for Psychological Services is located at 2001 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Suite 101, Arlington, VA 22202, one block from the Crystal City Metro stop on the Blue and Yellow lines.

Google Sued For Undesired AdSense Inclusion
Google is being sued by a man represented by a law firm that has successfully sued Google several times in the past. The firm is Kabateck Brown Kellner and the man is David Almeida, a local businessman from Massachusetts who claims that Google's sign up process for AdWords wrongly conceals that advertiser text ads will run on AdSense content partner sites unless they affirmatively opt out.
Here's a relevant factual passage from the complaint:
This action arises from the fact that Google does not inform its advertisers that if they leave the content bid CPC input blank, Google will use the advertiser's CPC bid for clicks occurring on the content network. Google does this despite the fact that ads placed on the content network are demonstrably inferior to ads appearing on search result pages. Because there is no option to opt out of content ads during the AdWords registgration [sic] process, advertisers reasonably believe that by leaving the content ad CPC input blank they can opt out of having their ads placed on the content network. Google, however, has charged and continues to charge those advertisers who leave content ad CPC input blank for content ads on third party websites.
The suit states three claims: unjust enrichment, fraudulent concealment, and unfair or deceptive business practices under the California Business and Professions Code. The lawsuit also announces itself as a class action. If this were only about an individual plaintiff, assuming he could win on liability, damages would simply be the value of clicks on the content network refunded. But a class action represents millions of potential dollars for the opportunistic law firm.
I would doubt that there can be any finding of fraud against Google but the other claims might be more viable. Opting out of AdSense is a fairly straightforward process after account setup. Still, the case can probably escape a motion to dismiss by Google and will likely go into the discovery phase.
Many auto insurance companies, feeling like personal injury lawyers were seeing them as easy targets, started to take a harder line and ligate cases rather than settle them out of the gate. This case might wind up settling but Google has incentives to fight these cases more vigorously and "send a message" to law firms who may see the search engine as a deep pocket and an easy target.

Latest news, analysis and links on UW football, basketball and other sports
Badgers to face LSU at Lambeau Field in 2016, thanks to moving Virginia Tech game
Madison – Thanks to the flexibility of Virginia Tech officials, Wisconsin and LSU are set to open the 2016 college football season against LSU at Lambeau Field.
The game will be first time the Badgers have played football at Lambeau Field. The UW hockey team played Ohio State at Lambeau in 2006 before a crowd of 40,890.
According to a UW official on Thursday:
Virginia Tech officials have agreed to move the Hokies' 2016 home game against UW, set for Sept. 10, to a later year.
That opened the door for UW to face LSU on Sept. 3 at Lambeau Field. UW and LSU are set to open the 2014 season on Aug. 30 in Houston.
UW and Virginia Tech have agreed to play in 2019 and 2020, with UW tentatively set to host the Hokies in 2019 and travel to Blacksburg, Va., in 2020.
The Badgers in 2016 have only four Big Ten home games and they open league play Oct. 1 at Michigan, play Oct. 8 at Michigan State, host Ohio State on Oct. 15, play Oct. 22 at Iowa and then host Nebraska on Oct. 29.
UW is scheduled to open the 2015 season against Alabama on Sept. 5 in Arlington, Texas. »Read Full Blog Post

Will this game be part of the Camp Randall season ticket package?Hide replies
I heard.....yes.
That event is going to be WAY cool. Watch out for the speed cops in Rosendale when you drive up from Madison...Hide replies
Just take 151-bypass the whole joint and just as fast...
Hopefully Packers ticket holders get a crack at some tickets too!Hide replies
Become a Badger season ticket holder and you won't have to hope.
Not a home game for Wisconsin... get in line.
I will hate it if this happens...like packer season tickets for life and being able to put them in your will isn't unfair enough. How many will buy and then sell them to the highest bidder....will be extremely disappointed if packer season ticket holders get tickets.
Would have been nice to mention what ticket sales would be...
Since this is not a Wisconsin "Home Game", I don't believe Camp Randall ticket package will come into play.
Look forward to the match-up. By 2016, the players will be from Coach Andersen's recruting... will be very interesting and a hot ticket.
If I made the rules, tickets would go to Gold Package ticket holders! (yes... I am biased)Hide replies
Tickets should go to those who support the Badgers, not Gold package ticket holders or full season Packer ticket holders.
Which part of the "yes... I am biased", did you not get?
Repeating... this is not a Badger home game... Badgers will most likely not be running the ticket process. The most likely result will be tickets going on sale to the general publice, with an equal number filtered to each team.
I would disagree. I would surmise that Badgers season ticket holders would have first dibs.
I highly doubt this will be part of any current season ticket package. It's too hard to match like seats.
Don't forget that there will be a lot of us LSU fans coming up to see this game as well. I know I plan to be there! It will be awesome to see our Tigers face the Badgers in such a historic venue. It will be a great game and atmosphere for sure!Hide replies
i've already forgot, go bucky!
you'd have a better experience if the game was at Camp Randall in one of the best college towns in the world of college football. Lambeau is in Green Bay and there is nothing to support college football there, it's a desert as far a that's concerned.
This is going to be epic.Hide replies
...destruction by LSU being the likely outcome.
I say UW wins comfortably.
On Wisconsin!
As a Badger season ticket holder AND donor to UW Athletics, I plan to be at this game in a big way! Also looking forward to teh 2014 and 2016 "away' game against LSU and 'Bama.

Fans of "Major League" (1989) may want to see "Major League II." I did not see the first film and am not in that category. Nor is there anything in "Major League II" that inspires me to go back and catch up on the earlier film.
This is comedy by the numbers, the uninspired story of a Cleveland Indian team of colorful weirdos and misfits, who seem to be trapped in a perpetual audition for the blooper reel.
The movie opens with a clever recap of the previous season (or film), delivered by the team announcer, played by Bob Uecker as a drunk whose problem gets worse as the season wears on.
We meet "Wild Thing" Vaughn (Charlie Sheen), famous for his haircut; Pedro Cerrano (Dennis Haysbert), who has become a Buddhist in the offseason, Willie Mays Hayes (Omar Epps), who believes in exerting himself as little as possible, and Rube (Eric Bruskotter), the new recruit, who plays catcher but cannot consistently throw the ball back to the pitcher's mound because he keeps thinking too much.
The team manager, played by Tom Berenger, is a weary and cynical veteran who has seen it all and believes in quick fixes and miracle cures. Learning that Rube's favorite pages in Playboy are the Playmate Interviews, he suggests that the catcher distract himself by reciting them during the game. And so on.
The franchise is owned by the rich Rachel Phelps (Margaret Whitton), who wants to move it to another market and thinks a losing season will help her cause.
She likes to give demoralizing locker-room speeches ("Win tonight and the loser label is gone forever!"). The movie also contains a heroine, played by Michelle Burke, who used to date Wild Thing. Now she dates a White Sox fan and taunts Thing with that information. Her job apparently involves bringing the same group of disadvantaged children to every single Cleveland home game, so that she and Wild Thing can have angry conversations.
The movie's level of wit is suggested by his riposte at the end of one argument: "Women - you can't live without 'em, and they can't - - - standing up." The movie assembles elements which, with better writing and direction, might have had comic possibilities.
The team recruits a Japanese star (Takaaki Ishibashi), who rants and raves in loud Japanese and flaunts his samurai code at the newly pacifist convert to Buddha (Haysbert), who of course has a little altar in his locker, and meditates before games.
And there is the byplay between the hard-drinking Uecker and his soporific color announcer, whose idea of play-by-play is "Fly ball. Caught." Maybe David S. Ward's screenplay for "Major League II" looked good on the page. I dunno. The humor is so predictable, forced and awkward that the actors sometimes seem like helpless bystanders.
If the writing had been smarter - if it had been about a plausible baseball team, instead of about a group of sitcom clowns - maybe something would have worked.
There's one bright spot: On the basis of this dismal attempt, the team will probably not be back next season.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Despite the day-to-day ups and downs of individual relational database (RDBMS) vendors, there is a clear industry-wide shift to NoSQL databases, and particularly MongoDB. Over the past six months, over 100 organizations dropped RDBMSs for MongoDB. These paying MongoDB customers include tier-1 investment banks, global telcos and several government agencies. Were we to include companies switching from RDBMSs to open-source MongoDB without a formal MongoDB customer relationship, the universe of RDBMS defections would balloon further.
These customers are deserting legacy relational database technology at an ever-accelerating pace because it simply doesn't fit how modern developers... Read More >

There are many leaders who have arisen in the history of humanity and kept huge masses under control, conquered vast lands through ruthless politics and thus dragged on their oppressive-authoritarian rules for years, even if the level of brutality and coercion practiced may vary. Hitler, Mao, Franco, Lenin, Stalin, Gaddafi, Saddam and Castro are only a few on this list.
By all means, systems that have an impact on a large populace unquestionably have an ideological basis. Contrary to what many people may assume, it is the thought system that lies at the foundation of these regimes that sustains them, not the people who govern them or their military power, nor repressive institutions or the groups which fund them.
Autocratic ideologies may appear to be in the form of blatant dictatorships that exercise control on the public directly, or as disguised authoritarian establishments, which are skilfully concealed and veiled within a democracy.
In order to have a better understanding of regimes, which are not viewed as outright dictatorial but still constrain people, the Institutional Revolution Party (Partido Revolucionario Institucional) that governed Mexico for 71 years offers an example. The PRI did not resort to practices normally associated with dictators such as blatant electoral corruption or the use of the armed forces.
However, by means of intimidation and restraint, the elites of the country coalesced around the party and no strong opposition remained outside the party. Besides, businessmen confronting the party encountered unspeakable hardships, while backers were handsomely rewarded which precluded a resilient opposition and kept the PRI in power for more than seven decades. The PRI dissolved with time because of the introduction of elite cliques and losing its ideological grounds. That being the case, the most long-lasting hegemonic political party in world history lost the elections in the year 2000.
The economic stagnation and ideological ossification of the Soviet Union worked for the collapse of the Communist regimes in Eastern Europe. They were weakened once the Soviet Union's financial support to these dictatorial regimes was discontinued with and furthermore because Communism lost internal dynamism and democracy.
Consequently, the regimes in the Eastern Bloc melted away as they could no longer resist the growing demands for change in the 1990's. Party leaders in many of the countries of the bloc realised the only way out for them was to abandon the oppressive policies of the Communist epoch and that culminated in the establishment of multi-party democracies and stable regimes.
Today's youth largely look at examples of such overt dictatorships in books, particularly written on the world wars and their consequences, but they have also encountered such regimes over the past three years of the Arab Spring. The Ben Ali regime in Tunisia, Ali Saleh's regime in Yemen, Gaddafi's regime in Libya and the Mubarak regime in Egypt are indisputable cases of dictatorships.
The eradication of such regimes may only be possible through extensive and long-lasting ideological education. Adopting any other means would only indicate a misguided approach. Those expecting opposing parties to sit around a table for a resolution through diplomacy or dialogue in Egypt are, to say the least, sorely mistaken.
There are some leaders and countries that expect the civil war in Syria to end when they sit together in a room and sign a few agreements. Frequently people come up with questions, such as whether Syria should be under Assad or not.
However, even ousting Bashar Al Assad entirely from history would not be a step towards resolution of the Syrian imbroglio. The various parties fighting in Syria are determined to preserve their ideologies.
The Ba'ath regime is being reinforced by the Shanghai Pact member countries and would obviously want to stay on track with Assad.
Just as the execution of Saddam Hussein did not abolish the Ba'ath ideology, the bloodshed in Syria will not end if a single person or his family withdraws from the regime. History shows us that autocratic regimes can only be ousted by means of an ideological struggle.
Regimes flourish only when they are fortified ideologically, occasionally bringing the entire community together as a body around common values. Therefore, those who desire to end the civil war in Syria should first commit to a strong-willed intellectual struggle against materialism, which is the heart of the Ba'athist party.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Democrat & Chronicle reported that the Rochester-Genesee Regional Transportation Authority (RGRTA) is hoping to increase ridership by creating a rebranding campaign that will include new uniforms, the logo displayed on its buses and names for some bus lines. The transit system board of directors approved $370,000 for research and surveys for the campaign last year, and staff members plan to ask the board for another $604,000 to roll out the changes later this year. The transit system also plans to redesign bus routes and open a new transit center. Maryalice Keller, chief brand and people officer for RGRTA, told the paper that the agency wants to challenge the perception that buses are only for people who have no other choice, and that its customer base is growing more diverse.

KILLEEN (October 1, 2012)--The Casa Tejas Apartments in Killeen were in violation of several fire codes when the complex burned in September, killing two men and a woman and leaving more than 30 other residents homeless, Killeen Fire Chief confirmed to News 10.
Pvt. Christopher Micheal Sroka, 21, of Findlay Ohio, Pfc. Seth Michael Soulsby, 19, of Mogadore, Ohio, and Kristy R. Moncrief, 33, died in the fire.
Their bodies were all found in the apartment in which it appears the fast-moving fire that leveled the 24-unit complex started.
Killeen Fire Chief Jerry Garner said although the complex was built to code in 1974, today the complex would not have passed inspection.
The complex hadn't had a fire inspection since it was built in the 1970s, which is legal because had not undergone any remodeling that cost more than 50% of its value.
The fire was reported just after midnight Sept. 14 at the complex in the 1300 block of North Gray Street.
The first crews on the scene reported that the entire complex was in flames and that some residents were trapped.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

While positron emission tomographic (PET) measurements of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) can be used to map brain regions that are involved in normal and pathological human behaviors, measurements in the anteromedial temporal lobe can be confounded by the combined effects of radiotracer activity in neighboring arteries and partial-volume averaging. The authors now describe two simple methods to address this vascular artifact. One method utilizes the early frames of a dynamic PET study, while the other method utilizes a coregistered magnetic resonance image (MRI) to characterize the vascular region of interest (VROI). Both methods subsequently assign a common value to each pixel in the VROI for the control (baseline) scan and the activation scan. To study the vascular artifact and to demonstrate the ability of the proposed methods correcting the vascular artifact, four dynamic PET scans were performed in a single subject during the same behavioral state. For each of the four scans, a vascular scan containing vascular activity was computed as the summation of the images acquired 0-60 s after radiotracer administration, and a control scan containing minimal vascular activity was computed as the summation of the images acquired 20-80 s after radiotracer administration. t-score maps calculated from the four pairs of vascular and control scans were used to characterize regional blood flow differences related to vascular activity before and after the application of each vascular artifact correction method. Both methods eliminated the observed differences in vascular activity, as well as the vascular artifact observed in the anteromedial temporal lobes. Using PET data from a study of normal human emotion, these methods permitted the authors to identify rCBF increases in the anteromedial temporal lobe free from the potentially confounding, combined effects of vascular activity and partial-volume averaging

In my herb bed, the basil is now about 2 feet tall, but as I was driving home one night I heard an NPR report saying that downy mildew had been claiming basil plants on the east coast and into Ohio. Indiana wasn't mentioned as being hit yet.
Apparently this fungal disease turns leaves yellowish on top and has black spores on the bottom side of the leaves that spread it. You can spread it just by clipping off affected leaves, and it spreads by the wind, so if you get it, you can transfer it to other gardeners' and farmers' crops.
Inasmuch as basil leaves are what you want for pesto -- which, when it comes to taste, is the best thing on earth, in my opinion – this potentially poses a really big problem.
After hearing the report, I didn't even shut the garage door before I took off to check my plants. They seem fine, but, by being so tall and in a raised bed, I'm wondering if they might catch spores more easily.
Margaret McGrath, the scientist from the report, suggests making pesto early and freezing it before this disease strikes. OK, but the flavor is never as wonderful.
But I guess I've got another gardening project this weekend. I think I'll compromise and only cut down two plants. That way I can save the others for fresh tomato sauce and my favorite summer appetizer – fresh tomato slices with basil leaves and fresh mozzarella, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and seasoned with a little bit of garlic salt and fresh cracked pepper.

Since I'm going to get fed off of assist, should I buy a Mejai's for Janna?
Call Mee Maybee
In very few circumstances.. Although it is safe to get it (b/c its hard to kill Janna), It still costs 1.5 gp/5 items, offers nothing besides AP, and is likely to get you behind early. Of course, if you get it later, it will probably not stack up enough to be worth your while.

What to Expect During Open-Enrollment Season: Findings From the SHRM/EBRI 2014 Health Benefits Survey
Few employers plan to eliminate or make major changes in their health care benefits in the near future—but changes are inevitable, especially the growth of wellness programs designed to address worker risks and behaviors, which drive chronic conditions, and account for a large percentage of overall spending, according to a new report by EBRI. Press release.
EBRI Notes – November 2014
"Views on the Value of Voluntary Workplace Benefits: Findings from the 2014 Health and Voluntary Workplace Benefits Survey," and "The Gap Between Expected and Actual Retirement: Evidence From Longitudinal Data"
Retiree health savings: The vast majority of workers say their benefits package is important to their decision to take a job, as supported by the high take-up rates when benefits are offered, according to a new report by EBRI. Press release.
Retirement gap: Among the victims of the "Great Recession" of 2008?2009 was the retirement expectations of many Americans. New research from EBRI has quantified just how much those hopes suffered. Press release.

Projected savings targets: American elderly need to cover their health care costs in retirement continue to decline, due in part to enhanced prescription drug coverage provided by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), according to new modeling by EBRI. Press release.
IRAs: Almost 60 percent of individual retirement account (IRA) owners have their savings in an "extreme" investment allocation in 2012, meaning less than 10 percent or more than 90 percent in a particular investment category, according to a new report by EBRI. Press release.
