PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - Maine's former Democratic U.S. Rep. Peter Kyros has died at age 86.
Kyros represented Maine's 1st Congressional District from 1967 to 1975, a turbulent period that included the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal. He initially was supportive of war policies but later spoke out against them.
The Portland native worked on war ships in Bath at the start of World War II and enlisted in the Navy in 1943. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and after leaving the Navy in 1954 received a law degree from Harvard Law School. He was recruited by Maine's Sen. Edmund Muskie to run for Congress in 1966.
Washington, D.C., funeral home Joseph Gawler's Sons Inc. says Kyros died Tuesday. It says a funeral will be held Sunday.
No cause of death has been announced.

Welcome to the Africa Water, Sanitation & Hygiene
Stockholm (2014-09-05) – The 2014 World Water Week, focusing on energy and water, closed today with participants jointly emphasising the importance of a water goal, as well as intimate integration of energy and water in the Post-2015 Development Agenda. The Week also concluded that water efficiency is one of the main tools in combatting poverty and hunger.
A few obstacles overshadow all others in the fight to end poverty. One is the silo mentality. Sectors must break barriers between them and use synergies to their full potential. This message was underlined by Stockholm Statement on Water, released throughout the Week as a series of films and papers. Another is the gross inefficiencies in water use.
"To counter the challenge of booming water demand we must manage it in a far smarter way. It concerns our lives and our livelihoods. In five years I want us all in our daily lives to be as aware of water efficiency as we are of energy efficiency today," Mr. Torgny Holmgren, Executive Director of Stockholm International Water Institute, told the closing session.
World Water Week started with a call from some of the world's leading water, environment and resilience scientists and experts, who said that better management of rain, is the only way hunger and poverty can be eradicated. Without improved rainwater management, the future development goals currently being discussed are unrealistic, said the scientists, who include Professor Malin Falkenmark of Stockholm International Water Institute/Stockholm Resilience Centre and Professor Johan Rockström of Stockholm Resilience Centre.

Former couple DJ AM and Mandy Moore know how to keep us gossips guessing. First, she rushed to his side after he survived a deadly plane crash.
And just this past weekend, the twosome shared a table at Friendly House's 19th Annual Awards Luncheon in Beverly Hills.
But last night, AM was spotted on a dinner date with another brunette...
The DJ was enjoying baby back ribs at Houston's in Century City with a young woman who had long hair and bangs. According to an onlooker, the two seemed to be having an intimate conversation as they dined together.
There was no PDA during dinner, but he paid the bill and they "definitely were enjoying each other's company," says a witness. Afterward, they headed into the adjacent mall for some shopping.
While it's hard to tell if this was a romantic encounter, one thing's for sure: DJ AM's on the road to recovery. "He seemed completely fine," our onlooker reports, adding that they would have never suspected he'd just been in a plane crash.

Made people ugly.
Now I think I'm ugly without it.
I used to think people
Always loved me.
Now I think everyone hates me.
I used to think everybody
Was my best friend.
Now I think no one truly is.
I used to think
Boys were icky!
Now I wish I had one.
What happened to being
DisappearWishing to disappear
never to existed in their mind
no reason to cheer
this is why I was designed
there's a cloud over me and its raining knives
all smiles are faked
no one hears his cry's
as he sits there shivers and shakes
doesn't even try to reach out because there's nothing there
only my own numb stare
no desire to fight the devils wrenches
would anyone notice if I could disappear
because Im starting to feel warm in these trenches
would they even shed a tear?
Sick of the acting
let me compost with the dirt
live????..... ill think Ill be passing
lets make sure this hurts
still wishing to disappear
lets seal this coffin with a drop of blood and a tear
I'm Fine"Are you okay?"
No. I'm dying. I have to push myself to wake up in the morning, and when I finally do, I want to go back to sleep. Even my best dreams are becoming nightmares. I can't taste food, I can't stand the things I used to love. I'm breaking. I'm fading. I'm dying.
"I'm fine."
Society is ScreamingSociety is screaming so loud, I can hear it internally
Inside my mind, bouncing off the boundaries
All the dishonor, poverty, lies and disgust sound eternally
I tell the world, warn them of this coming storm, they tell me it's imaginary
The ones who are here to help, they lie through their teeth and lungs
Lock me in, "fixing" me up, sending my mind reeling
Defiantly I fight, bare arms and legs, as they fill me with drugs
They've sent me so far from home, I'm so numb, I can't even feel my feelings
My mind is overflowing with images I don't own
I remain silent, let them believe it's working
Moving slowly through this twisted life I now know
Don't let them in, your soul is still here, in the shadows, lurking
I somber out of the bright white building, fake hope on medication
The pills they gave me, go into the trash, along with my trust in this world
I look for others, minds alike, prepare this movement for fortification
Inside this prison, my ideas have lifted, gotten up and swirled

BlackBerry services splutter back into action, again
BlackBerry users should be getting the message again today – RIM reckons it has found and fixed the latest fault although there's still some backlog to be cleared. The company tells us that yesterday's outage (as opposed to Monday's down-time which remains unexplained) was down to a "core switch failure", and a failed back-up, …
Perhaps the real reason the servers fell over twice in such a short space of time isn't so innocent
Reading all these stories about BBM being down not one has ever mentioned the possibility of a hack. Different states have been asking RIM for access to their servers. Maybe one got impatient.
I thought i was the only one....
Has anyone actually thought RIM have been compromised? Why else would they be silent with no feedback to their customer base, surely if it was a simple hardware malfunction then they would have identified, fixed and provided a response, coupled with the fact i'm sure their DR plans would have kicked into play to save them the embarrassment of a lengthy outage. Drama over! However they need to address their total lack of communication... The silence is deafening and echoes the RSA debacle... They were breached and thousands of customers were left in the dark. RSA stayed quiet whilst it could get their PR teams in place with how best to deflect the heat and spin and also leave it long enough for people to find something new to talk about before releasing their official statement. They knew they'd been hacked the minute it happened and what they needed was time...
IF RIM simply had a server fail it wouldn't take down a whole network, i'm pretty sure the enterprise beast has more resillient DR strategies in place for this not to be effected... Which spurs my thoughts even more....
I'm intrigued to hear what Blackberry are going to do in order to redeem themselves from this one!
Blah, blah, blah....
"Core switch failure and a failed backup" says RIM...
What they actually mean is that they have failed to incorporate adequate resiliency in their infrastructure, and they have similarly failed to carry out appropriate disaster recovery testing that would have identified such issues.
Trying to find any information at all about RIM's resilience/contingency arrangements/promises on uptime is proving difficult. Anyone know anything about what they claim to have/promise to deliver?
" "
Posted from my Blackberry
Still not fixed
I still can't send email on BIS or BES on my Orange BB. I did get a splutter of email this morning at 9am, but nothing since (and I'm seeing them in my Google mail). Some Facebook features are still borked too. Simply unacceptable for a service whose USP is messaging.
RIM what are you going to be compensating business users with after this lengthy and quite frankly diabolical outage?
I imagine there is a huge backlog of data on there network.
I can understand emails and BBM not coming through because of this but can someone explain why web browsing still doesnt work? I guess to much traffic on their network?
Either that or they are telling porkies and it's still broken.
I'm getting about a 2.5 hour delay at present on emails. I just got an email through on my blackberry that was in my inbox at 8:30 this morning (11:00 now). I sent myself a test mail at 9:00, still not got it on my blackberry yet.
It's not a huge impact for me today as I'm at my desk but it was a right pain on Monday when I was out and about.
My guess is
that the switches in question are managed by some MegaMouth Consulting business improvement partnership, who add value to the proposition by putting in PHBs all over the place to provide business continuity assurance within a integrated world-class best-of-breed process governance framework.
What will have happened is that PHB1 will have asked PHB2 to apply a scheduled upgrade, wiht a backout strategy in place.
PHB2 knows a bit about backing things out and in turn asks PHB3 to apply the upgrade and backout if necessary.
PHB3's knowledge of backing out is running for the pub toilet when he finds the gorgeous bird he's been chatting up is actually a transvestite. So it's something he prefers not to talk about in case his wife finds out.
So PHB3 tasks PHB4 with the upgrade, who in turns tells some downtrodden, overworked and untrained PFY to apply the upgrade. Do the core and redundant systems at the same time - delivery achieved quicker, time is money, young man.
So the PFY does his best, it all goes horribly wrong and it's taking days to fix. Guess who'll be fired for the disaster, though?
I knew something was wrong, when I tried to call my wife last night on my BB.
And the someone sounding like the person from the local takeaway asked me if I wanted egg fried rice with that.
Technically they don't have to provide any sort of SLA to there customers, atleast standard consumers. Businesses may be different. You guys need to remember that the Blackberry by its very nature is a business device and has only really become main stream in the past couple of years.
So what they lost there servers for a few days. I can't remember it ever happening before which aint bad considering how long they have been around. Give them a break jeez!
This is what you get when you have a management team that spend too much time patting themselves on the back for stuff they did 6 years ago and gazing adoringly into mirrors ever since.
bloody biz school grads
I bet you if you look over the last few years, RIM has probably massively increased it's marketing budgets (to attract the youfs) and amount it pays to shareholders. Same problems as Nokia. Use Business school grad rubbish like six Sigma and all those other processes instead of concentrating on being a TECH firm.
Business school grads shouldnt be let within 1000 miles of a tech firm. Don't worry about the product, the product doesn't matter, its ALL ABOUT THE BRAND. Thats fine for Nike and other trend products that will be forgotton within a month but for tech firms its unforgivable. Nokia AND RIM have forgotton that their products are critical products FIRST and a brand SECOND.
I don't care which celeb is using which phone, it's a phone first and if it looks nice, even better. The Playbook is an example of what is wrong with RIM. At some point, someone MUST have said "This is a piece of shit, we are an email company and this doesnt do that" and was either shot down by management or marketing gave the technies a date to meet for release and refused to budge it so an incomplete product was released.
That is what is worrying abotu Apple. Steve Jobs was able to shoot down ideas or push products and override marketing and release dates. Will the new boss do that?
How many technies do you know that will go to a Marketing Director and say "The produc isn't ready and won't be ready for yoru release date. Get back to your 2 hour drinkign lunches and we will give you a call when we want you"
Now i don't know this for certain obviously but i think they've been compromised why else wouldn't they have the network back up and running again...?
Young Jedi, much to learn you have
It is a common mistake to attribute an outage to nefarious hacking when simple human stupidity is a more probable cause.
RIM somewhere attributed the problem to a software upgrade gone bad. Having seen similar problems first hand in large (carrier) networks, the long outage doesn't surprise me. It ends up being like a self-inflicted DOS attack, and the more you try to fix it the more the problem cascades due to the law of unintended consequences.
But hey, it might be wily hackers after all.
I think the key point here is transparency and communication. Every company that provides a service will at times have problems with providing the service as advertised.
What is particularly bad about this is how poorly RIM are communicating with their customers. All the money being spent on building the brand through advertising is being unravelled by a failure to communicate.
At the very least I would expect them to have at least one person posting updates on their website and twitter feeds.
The two (count them! two!) updates posted so far on their website over the course of a three day outage are laughable for their lack of comprehension of the scale of the outage and the lack of information about what they are doing to remedy the outage.
From Phone Operators? From RIM?
Have a laugh.
Side note - Vodafone had a full days outage on their network and compensated no one (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/02/28/vodafone_outage_2/).
What did we do.....
how did we get ourselves here.......
isn't there more to life :-)
Not good
Many businesses have become reliant on mobile email and data services, this needs fixing, explaining, and if necassary re-engineering, and soon. Are RIM ever going to regain the trust of the business community?
Nope sorry
The article is 7 hours old.
I still have no internet/email services with BB.
I suspect this will go into day four.
Hey ho...
I'm not going to do the "it's the end of the world" thing or "I'm mad as hell"....
Better things to worry about...
Re: Nope sorry
We have a more recent article, http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/12/rim_down_again/ .... it went up before lunchtime
problems here at work
Our BES connected Blackberries here at work are having data issues this morning. Emails and messages are not getting through. Phone works fine however.

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.

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...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Peter Schiff on The Atlantic's Economic PanelSubmitted by blacklab on Fri, 03/30/2012 - 16:13
Peter Schiff on point regarding the problems the US faces and the leader's unwillingness to consult with those who have correctly predicted our problems. He even calls government unions corrupt and likens them to terrorist organizations. Classic.
- Login to post comments
Thanks blacklab for posting.
"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion." --Albert Camus
The Schiffer is killin it!
I'm glad he's back making the rounds. He's been oddly silent from headline events and network appearances these past couple years.
Peter is a master at explanations
He knows how to dumb it down and doesn't sugar coat it. He doesn't hold back and knows just how to debate and answer the question without stumbling. If I could get to AL I'd study at the Mises U, but for now Peter is one of my economic idols.
Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto. - T. Jefferson rЭVO˩ution
"Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget that the state wants to live at the expense of everyone." - BASTIAT
I admire Peter Schiff as much as I admire Ron Paul
He might not have as long of a track record as Ron Paul, but he is more articulate than anyone I have ever seen. He also has a very quick mind. Big Fan.
Utter Mental Destruction
If Schiff used honey in his delivery he would catch a lot more flies.
No one has deputized America to play Wyatt Earp to the world.
-Pat Buchanan
I always find it hilarious that
a bunch of Keynesian statists, whom if they aren't part of the corporatist clique, tend to be pure academics and deluded bloggers, deem themselves qualified to lecture others on economics or even more preposterous, how to make 'money' to those like Schiff, who actually makes REAL money & FRN's, legitimately, for himself and his clients.
That's like a plumber telling a neurosurgeon how to conduct a brain-surgery. Or vice versa, a neurosurgeon designing a copper re-piping for a 20 story building.
Now, that is not to say either one can't cross train to become competent, as there are a plenty of Harvard and MIT med school grads who in fact have left medicine and found more joy in plumbing, so people can't simply be judged solely based on their profession or educational pedigree alone.
That said, econ is a pure numbers game, with the added risk of the ever 'unknowable:' the human variable. As such, when all one does is to write for the liberal rag the Atlantic, with absolutely no financial prowess at any level, be it in former career, or run a biz before, to speak authoritatively of, you may want to check yourself.
Do these idiots know that NO high flying financier gives a F' what a bunch of self-aggrandizing morons like Roubini and Krugman have to say, as people with 9 zeros in their bank accounts are NOT gonna listen to a bunch of econ light weights who can barely garner 6 zeroes, for financial advice?
Just what is wrong with this world?
Heck, that goes the same for all the financial TV shows.
Frankly, since Schiff is rather blunt, I've always wondered why he doesn't simply tell-off the really obnoxious academics and blogger turds with: "so, Krugman, how much money did you KEEP, not make, KEEP, last month?"
That should end all this nonsense in a heartbeat. But, to his credit, Peters is rather more decorous than people give him credit for. Call me brash, but if I in Schiff's position and were ever on TV, and I had to listen to these wannabes, I couldn't resist.D
Predictions in due Time...
"Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy." - Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul

Such a great clip. I've watched it a few times this past week after discovering it. Schiff rules!

Alan Rickman as Severus Snape in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2' (Photo: Warner Bros.)
Last week, Gary Oldman ended his three-decade reign as Oscar's most perennially snubbed talent, scoring a nomination for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
His Harry Potter co-star Alan Rickman wasn't so lucky: his well-reviewed performance in the final Potter film gave the British star his best shot at a nod in years, but the movie's lack of awards momentum killed his chances.
Is Rickman the greatest living British film actor to never be nominated? Here are five Rickman roles that warranted recognition from the Academy:
Die Hard (1988)
Hans Gruber is where the legend of Rickman began, a role that remains iconic a quarter-century after the thriller pack theaters. Before you declare Die Hard "not an Oscar film," note that the Academy has nominated worthy supporting actors in so-called "cheesy" blockbusters before (Fred Astaire in Towering Inferno, Alec Guinness in Best Picture nominee Star Wars, and Pat Morita in The Karate Kid, anyone?)
Truly, Madly, Deeply (1990)
Evidence of the Rickman range: his earthy, whimsical performance as Juliet Stevenson's ghostly lover was 180 degrees away from Hans Gruber. (Of course, this was many years before just showing up in an Anthony Minghella film meant an Oscar nomination.)
Sense & Sensibility (1995)
The Academy nominated Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet for their roles in Ang Lee's adaptation of Jane Austen's novel, but Rickman's BAFTA-nominated work as the upstanding Colonel Brandon was criminally overlooked by Oscar.
Michael Collins (1996)
Rickman played a real-life figure (Irish revolutionary leader Éamon de Valera) with a measured sense of dignity that at times outshone star Liam Neeson. Once again, BAFTA nominated him, the Motion Picture Academy did not.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 (2011)
When Deathly Hallows, Part 2 premiered last summer, it was clear that Rickman's acting in this final film was something special. The New York Times's Manohla Dargis singled out Rickman's work as the movie's "expressive high point," adding that Snape "has become such a brilliant screen character… due to Mr. Rickman, who helped elevate a child's tale of good and evil into a story of human struggle." Daniel Radcliffe added, "I do think it's the performance of his career. I think he should get nominations for best supporting actor because it's so touching and beautiful what he does."
But fans hoping for a belated, Return of the King-like acknowledgment of the Harry Potter film franchise were disappointed: the film was a non-factor on year-end lists and reaped only three technical Oscar nods. And Rickman once again was ignored.
What roles did we miss? What will it take to finally get Rickman an Oscar nomination? Let us know below:
Kevin Wicks founded BBCAmerica.com's Anglophenia blog back in 2005 and has been translating British culture for an American audience ever since. While not British himself - he was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri - he once received inordinate hospitality in London for sharing the name of a dead but beloved EastEnders character. His Anglophilia stems from a high school love of Morrissey, whom he calls his "gateway drug" into British culture.

RIDOT receives grant to combat distracted driving
The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) announced today that it is one of only seven states to receive a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) incentive grant designed to combat distracted driving. The $459,000 grant is part of NHTSA's National Priority Safety Program.
"Rhode Island continues to lead the way in proactively addressing highway safety programs," Governor Lincoln D. Chafee said. "Through the receipt of this grant, we can step up our ongoing efforts to ensure highway safety and ensure that drivers stay focused while driving. I want to congratulate RIDOT and our many partners in law enforcement as they continue to do all they can to make our roadways safer."
RIDOT will use the NHTSA funds to develop a comprehensive distracted driving prevention program, which launches in October 2013. It will focus on Rhode Island drivers and include education, community outreach and increased funding for enforcement efforts.

Curb extensions being installed on Atwells
It has been nearly three years since City Councilman Terry Hassett was struck and severely injured by a hit and run driver on Atwells Avenue; one in a long line of pedestrian injuries and fatalities on the Avenue. Now, we are finally seeing some action on building pedestrian safety interventions.
After the Councilman was struck, we listed some recommended safety interventions including curb extensions such as those being installed now.
Hopefully we'll continue to see more of this type of infrastructure installed in the city to promote pedestrian safety.

Reader Rant: Urban design by traffic engineers
Update: This project was done by the City without the involvement of RIDOT, which makes the entire situation worse actually.
Urban Design by
RIDOT! Was the City complicit? I'm almost at a loss for words about the thoughtlessness in locating a new traffic signal control box within a public plaza in Olneyville Square. If this happened in Wayland Square instead, there would be protest demonstrations. The photos speak for themselves regarding alignment and adjacencies to building frontages and the information kiosk. How many 10's of thousands or dollars did they spend on this piece of junk? Is this urban design by traffic engineers? This is as bad as when they place signal arm pole bases in the center of sidewalks so that people have to walk in the street. There should be a law against this. Or better yet the Design Review Commission should review all RIDOT installations within the City. Since Olneyville is a less affluent neighborhood, I suppose we should expect this new control box to sit where it is for the next 40 or 50 years. I guess the consolation is that there are new fake old streetlights.
City publishes list of planned street improvements tied to November Road Bond

Voters will decide on November 6, 2012 whether or not to approve the $40 million roads bond to fund these improvements. The list of planned street improvements and accompanying maps can be viewed at Providenceri.com/roadbond.
In addition, the Office of Mayor Angel Taveras will hold informational meetings throughout the city in the coming weeks to explain the scientific, merit-based process that was used to identify roads for repair and to explain how the bond will work if voters approve the measure.

Fast Lane: Obama Administration says "We Can't Wait," tells states to use idle earmarks to improve transportation and put people to work
At DOT, we know that America's transportation infrastructure is in need of attention, while construction workers across the country remain eager to get back on the job repairing, replacing, and modernizing our roads, rails, and runways.
Over the last decade, Congress has set aside $473 million in transportation funds that were never spent. These idle earmarks have sat on the shelf as our infrastructure continues to age and fall into disrepair, and hundreds of thousands of construction workers look for work. That ends today.
I'm excited to announce that this Administration is freeing up this unspent money and giving it right back to the states so that they can spend it on the infrastructure projects they need most.
As President Obama said today, "My administration will continue to do everything we can to put Americans back to work. We're not going to let politics stand between construction workers and good jobs repairing our roads and bridges."

Heights Wellness Center's owner Sandra Lawrence set out to open a practice that improves upon the skills of a single practitioner by combining them with the skills of an entire team of health specialists. She has assembled registered dietitians and massage therapists who work neck and neck with acupuncturists, yoga instructors, and life coaches to help clients overcome a range of physical and emotional ailments.
In addition to working one-on-one with clients, the team leads group workshops. Body Karma Healing classes help women find a healthy body image, and breathing workshops help the body reduce asthma and panic attacks brought on by the realization that chickens aren't going to put up with this egg-stealing stuff forever.
As one of Cleveland's first Vinyasa yoga studios, Evolution Yoga Studios & Boutique promotes a personal yoga experience in an eco-conscious studio setting. Founder and director Sandy Gross embraces mindfulness and meditation in each of the studio's array of sinew-stretching classes. Beginners nurture alignment during introductory technique and practice sessions, advancing to heated Vinyasa classes that expel sweat. Bodies build pristine core muscles during 50-minute Pilates sessions, and restorative yoga focuses on the breath in tandem with subtle bends and twists. The studio's schedule hosts multiple sessions daily for all skill levels.
History pulses through Lemko Hall, a turreted brick building in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood. Over the past century, it has served as a saloon, a ballroom, and a movie set where stars Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken filmed a scene for The Deer Hunter in 1978. Nowadays, one of the space's tenants, Studio 11, channels an even older legacy: the yoga tradition of ancient India.
The studio's seasoned teachers impart moving meditations that have been passed down from generation to generation via careful instruction and epic games of telephone. Classical Hatha poses help yogis of all levels cultivate strength and flexibility as they learn to center their minds and control their breath. Students steep their minds in yoga's meditative qualities during flowing, breath-focused Vinyasa routines or explore the practice's athletic side during Ashtanga sessions teeming with dynamic poses and vigorous thumb-wrestling bouts. Those seeking a more private yoga experience can engage in a Thai massage, in which a trained practitioner guides the body through assisted poses and stretches.
Yoga-inspired Pilates sessions revolve around centuries-old isometrics that promote balance and help chisel the core. Students seeking a full immersion in yogic history can enroll in studio-sponsored trips to India, which pair yoga classes with sunset meditations and spiritual discourses.
Inspiral Motion offers mat classes in yoga, Pilates, and GYROKINESIS, with instructors from the top schools in the country. The center's yoga mat classes are rooted in the Vinyasa yoga discipline, a flowing style with asanas, or postures, linked together by verbal cues. Pilates students just starting out are introduced to the fundamentals of breathing, flexibility, and pelvis stability in their quests to become top Pelvis impersonators, while advanced practitioners of the Pilatic arts can discover how to Boomerang, Jackknife, and Shoulder Bridge with the best. In GYROKINESIS, students will stir their senses through a dry-scrubbing body massage, jumpstart the body's energies through a series of movements, and further invigorate the body with mat exercises.
Alyssa Lee Wilmot once envisioned a place where people could come and express themselves through movement; she brought that place to life when she opened The Movement Factory. Alyssa strives to find classes that combine fitness with movement arts, which explains her fitness-class schedule that's replete with dance-inspired Zumba, yoga, hip-hop, Pilates, and barre sessions. All sessions at The Movement Factory welcome students aged 18 and older of all experience levels.
In a newly constructed, modern studio, Chagrin Yoga offers a multitude of classes for your journey across the yogaverse. Newbies and veterans alike are guided by friendly, highly skilled instructors who offer years of experience and tank loads of motivation. Learn basic poses and breathing techniques with beginner basics, or clear your mind muscles with gentle yoga, which focuses on meditation and postures. Higher-intensity classes such as power Vinyasa yoga and hot 26 yoga help increase flexibility, release toxins, and strengthen your core from the cozy belly of a heated room. Develop muscle tone, reduce inches, and increase energy as you focus on controlled movements.

Tea with a Nobel prize winner
By Lucy Nicholson
One of the unexpected pleasures of being a news photographer is when complete strangers invite you into their lives.
In the early hours of the morning yesterday, I arrived at the home of Nobel chemistry prize winner Arieh Warshel, in a quiet residential neighborhood of Los Angeles. I was encouraged to see lights on in the upstairs window.

Manage not working
I occur a problem that when i right click on "Computer" and click "Manage", it does nothing.
Just like this thread, Computer Context menu - Manage not working
But the difference is our application causes this.
I have tried to replace compmgmtlauncher.exe with vista compmgmtlauncher.exe file as the thread metioned.
It's works, but i don't think it's a good answer for our customer.
Does anyone know why or how our application cause this?? Our application install a context menu on files and folders. And it wouldn't affect "Manage" working on vista.
And i tried to install WinRAR(it also has context menu), "Manage" also works well.
|My System Specs
|10 Oct 2009
It's a fingerprint application. We insert encryption items in context menu. We have no idea why "Manage" would invoke our dll then "Manage" doesn't show up. But we replace the .exe file with vista's, it works well.
|My System Specs
|10 Oct 2009
Unless this is some sort of widespread issue, in which case your web searches would already have found the answer, you'll presumably need to do a bit of code-level analysis. I don't know anything about your personal background, but the developers on the team will be capable of attaching a debugger (WinDBG/CDB/NTSD) to the process and then "stepping" through to see what the deal is with your DLL registered and present. Everything else is just conjecture.
Alternatively, if you can isolate a cut-down version of your app that reliably replicates the issue, and put it up somewhere for download, I or somebody else may be able to tell you what's wrong. No guarantees though.
|My System Specs
|11 Oct 2009
To replace "Manage" with vista's is the idea from the web i foud, and i don't think it's a good solution as you say. There is one thing confusing me, our application wouldn't affect "Manage" in vista. What is the difference between Windows 7 and vista?? I have tried to use Procmon to see how CompMgmtLauncher.exe would call our dll. There is someting strange, it would do "CreateFile" to mydll.dll.1000.manifest, do "QueryOpen" to mydllENU.dll and do "QueryOpen" to mydllLOC.dll. The result, of course, is "NAME NOT FOUND" because my dll name is mydll. We don't know why "Manage" need to create or query xxx.1000.manifest, xxxENU.dll, and xxxLOC.dll files, and it don't do the same thing to other dll. More information, our dll is no crash or any abnormal states, it loads and unload normally.

ProcMon can't show you everything, mostly because it doesn't hook everything. I'd suggest stepping through this in a debugger.
|My System Specs
|12 Oct 2009
At beginning, i think it may some calling scenario changed so "Manage" works well in vista but not in Windows 7. I think it's another way for me to find this bug out.
There are what i have tried:
1. Insert many messages in many functions in my dll. It seems ok as the message shows. I know it doesn't mean a lot.
2. Using WinDbg "Open Executable" to execute CompMgmtLauncher.exe. It also seems no any errors.
Excuse me, i have not debugged user mode applilcations more than two years....many debug methods I have forgotten. Would you mind telling me more detail?
|My System Specs
|12 Oct 2009
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
I can confirm that clicking on manage doesnt work for me either. Is it supposed to load the computer management admin tool?
|My System Specs
|12 Oct 2009
Hence, I've stepped through the basics in the attached debugger log:
- bp <address> to set a breakpoint
- bl to list breakpoints
- g for "go", g @$ra for "go until you hit the return address of the current function"
- r to list registers
- du @rcx, dump memory as a unicode string beginning at RCX offset
... and so on. It's not rocket science but it's not trivial either.
I used kernel32!CreateProcessW as the test breakpoint. Note how the RCX register contains the first function parameter (lpApplicationName), which in this case is MMC.EXE of course. Then I let it complete (g @$ra) and checked that the function return value (in RAX) was non-zero, which indicates success as per the function's MSDN doco.
In your instance it would be interesting to see whether the CreateProcessW breakpoint gets hit at all, and if so what the return value becomes. After that, you might want to use some of the activity you logged in ProcMon as the basis for further breakpoint-based troubleshooting.
If you're feeling a bit rusty with this stuff, it'll be marginally easier on an x86 machine because of the way the STDCALL calling convention places args on the stack, instead of using the registers like x64 does. Otherwise, a "checked" build of x64 Windows (from MSDN) is made up of non-optimised binaries which are going to "spill" args onto the stack, even on x64. It'll be easier to debug than straight, optimised x64 code.
EDIT: For what it's worth, I think the conclusion is wrong in this thread:
Computer Context menu - Manage not working
The Windows 7 version of CompMgmtLauncher.exe is not "corrupted". It's just less forgiving in this instance than the Vista build, for reasons which form the crux of this issue. I suspect the poster who came up with the "solution" at the end may have additional info, since he apparently didn't feel compelled to fix the "corrupted" version of the Windows 7 binary by extracting/repairing, but instead went straight for the Vista executable.

Yes I am. Eventhough there are days where I am wilted or brown at the edges. But then the rain comes and I am beautiful again.
As the saying goes, "God didn't make no junk."
We're made in His image -- can't get any better on earth.

Nope, NOT me!!!
For the first time I can recollect, I respectfully disagree.
Look, if God can create someone like me who could make a clock run backwards, you are infinitely times more beautiful. God made each of us in His image and likeness. Of course, He said that before I was born.
You are worthy - most worthy. OK?

NEWS: The Antarctic contribution to meltwater pulse 1A.
The Parallel Ice Sheet Model pism0.6 is an open source, parallel, high-resolution ice sheet model. Features:
|Ice plug prevents irreversible discharge from East Antarctica
|M. Mengel and A. Levermann
|Nature Climate Change
This paper uses PISM to define an "ice-plug" which, if removed from the coastal ice in the Wilkes Basin of East Antarctica, would initiate irreversible retreat of the grounded ice in that basin. The modeled retreats, which occur on a time scale of a few thousand years, generate 3–4 m of sea level rise from the region surrounding the basin. Thus this basin is a potential "tipping-point" ice sheet configuration, in additional to the better-known West Antarctica configurations. For the PISM user this paper shows its ability to model an ice sheet region (hashed in figure) at high resolution across a range of ice dynamics parameters and climate forcing choices.
In a Geoscientific Model Development Discussion paper, UAF author Ed Bueler and IMAU author Ward Van Pelt describe PISM's new mass conserving subglacial hydrology models.
For the PISM user with an interest in subglacial hydrology this paper provides a detailed description of all the subglacial hydrology models available in PISM versions v0.6 and above, along with a stability analysis, verification, and an application to the Greenland ice sheet.
Only fixes and improvements that should not break existing functionality are included in this release. We recommend updating from v0.6 unless you have a good reason against it. Upgrade by doing "git pull" in the PISM source tree. (Or get a new tagged ".tar.gz" or ".zip" at github.com/pism/pism/releases.) Then do "make install" in the build directory.
For a full list of changes since v0.6, please see https://github.com/pism/pism/blob/stable0.6/CHANGES.md
Send email to email@example.com for help with any version of PISM.
PISM is jointly developed at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF) and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). UAF developers, who are in the Glaciers Group at the GI, are supported by NASA's Modeling, Analysis, and Prediction and Cryospheric Sciences Programs (grants NAG5-11371, NNX09AJ38C, NNX13AM16G, NNX13AK27G) and by the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center.

The most important clue from this fabulous piece of suspense was right in front of me, and I never saw it 'til I put the book down after staying up way too late to finish it. When Teresa Harnett was savagely attacked eight years ago, one of the casualties was her memory. Painstakingly reconstructing it over the following years with the help of her husband, it all starts to come unraveled when the man convicted of that assault, DellaVecchio, is released pending a hearing based on new DNA evidence. The man's voice she hears is no longer the same as the voice whispered in her ear the night of the attack. So she approaches Jim Christensen, a psychologist who testified as an expert on memory at the original trial - and the same man who was now living with the attorney in charge of the defense for DellaVecchio. Tensions mount as the three weeks before the hearing tick off. Clues are revealed through counseling sessions, reviews of testimony, questioning of key characters, and even present-day events. When I thought it was all figured out, there were still a few niggling details that didn't quite fit, and the attacker almost gets away with it... again. Marty Smith pulls us along with the investigation, sometimes piecing together the puzzle only moments before the characters. The stunning climactic scenes left me turning pages faster than I could read them, only to have me turn them back to savor the mounting anticipation. A dazzling good read.

Fast reading story. Decent character development and the plot is another one of the author's twisting, complex, don't-try-to-guess-the-ending stories. The legal aspects of STRAW MEN were educational, but the story as a whole is the main entertainment.

No where is Marty Smith's skill at hinting at dark secrets, cover-ups and the confusion of fragile minds more evident than in his third Jim Christensen novel. This one really grabs hold of you from the start and won't let go until you've turned the last page. If you're a mystery/suspense fan, don't miss this one. It's dynamite.Was this review helpful?

Eight years ago, an assailant attacked Teresa Harnett in her kitchen. The culprit smashed her head with a bottle, rammed her head on the floor several times, raped her, and left a calling card of a broken bottle end inside her vagina. The vicious individual left Teresa for dead, but she was rushed to the hospital and with the help of her loving and caring spouse physically recovers.
However, Teresa¿s nightmare begins anew because the defense lawyer Brenna Kennedy demands a new trail for her convicted client Carmen DellaVechhio. DNA evidence destroys much of the proof the DA used the first time around. The presiding judge releases the incarcerated individual pending final dismissal of all charges. Teresa begins to wonder if she helped place the wrong person behind bars. Neither Brenna nor Teresa realizes what heartache and murders await them as this case moves into the final stages.
Martin J. Smith is one the most under-appreciated thriller writers on the market today. He consistently provides chillers that deserve a vast audience. His latest winner, STRAW MEN, is loaded with surprises and revelations mostly frightening because they feel real yet are unexpected. Characters from other books by Mr. Smith have evolved as if they share real time with the reader, which adds to the feel of chilling reality. This novel is a thumbs-up legal thriller.

The Police in Katsina State on Tuesday restricted the movement of motorcycles and tricycles called "Keke NAPEP" in the state to between 9pm and 6am to check activities of criminals.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Alhaji Muhammad Hurdi, disclosed this on Tuesday in Katsina at a news briefing.
Hurdi said that decision was reached at the State Security Council meeting, following the killing of three policemen on Monday in Kusada Local Government area by gunmen on motorcycles.
He said that the restriction was applicable to both private and commercial motorcycles in the state.
"Whosoever violates the order will face the wrath of the law.
"This restriction is aimed at preventing criminals from using motorcycles and tricycles to commit crimes," he said.
Hurdi also said that the policemen and soldiers would be deployed to all entries to the state to 'conduct stop-and-search' exercise to ensure security of lives and property.
He explained that the security at the state's borders with Kano, Jigawa, Kaduna, Zamfara and Niger Republic would be improved.
According to him, the measure is to curtail criminals from entering the state and committing criminal acts.
The commissioner urged the members of the public to report any suspicious movement to the nearest security agency for prompt action.
