State Run ViceSaturday, September 17th, 2011So Massachusetts appears to be on its way towards legalizing casino gambling. The state will apparently be giving out three licenses for casinos in state. This is the wrong approach. These three casinos will become a source of graft and corruption in the state, by virtue of the fact that there are so few of them. If you want to legalize gambling in state, better to offer to let every bar in the state operate slots and video poker machines. This will diffuse gambling in-state enough such that there won't be just three large companies to tap for money by threatening periodically. But part of me think that the whole point is to create a large piggy bank for retiring politicians in-state, in which case my suggestion is moot. But since we're considering legalizing new forms of vice in order to raise revenue, let's consider two forms of vice that could be legalized and be producing revenue for the state in less than a year's time, unlike the casinos currently under consideration. And after all, that is what all this is ostensibly supposed to be about, raising revenue for the state. State run monopolies on vice are nothing new. Many states monopolize liquor sales as New Hampshire does. And most states have state run lotteries, Massachusetts included. So I would propose state run monopolies on the other two major vices currently illegal in the state, marijuana and prostitution. Let's discuss how I would see each of these playing out:
So conservatively, my plan would raise $70 million annually for the state, starting say 6 months from now. It would provide a legal alternative to obtaining what there is already demand for, thus reducing the need to pay violent criminals for weed and sexual services. So presumably crime would decrease as well. What's not to like? I mean, it's not as if marijuana and prostitution don't already exist within the state. Casino proponents believe that they will generate hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue for the state. I suspect they are off by an order of magnitude. And regardless, they are counting on $1/2 billion investments to build these things, in a recession no less. My plan is conservative, and could easily net a lot more than I projected. And the cost to implement and try it out is minimal. So who's with me? |

Prostitution (And Other Classifieds) To Move From Craigslist To TwitterTuesday, April 21st, 2009This whole business about the Craigslist killer has got me thinking about prostitution and Craigslist. Craigslist is simply not the best means of advertising for prostitution, and I predict that at some point in the next two years, it will largely migrate from Craigslist to Twitter. In fact, other classified advertisements may move there as well. This will cause prostitutes to scatter, first perhaps to other sections of Craigslist such as personals, and eventually, to someplace new. I think Twitter is the ideal location for advertising these services. Twitter has all the necessary components for advertising such services: relative anonymitity, location awareness (should you choose to fill it in), and hash tags that allow for key terms like #w4m and #fs and a host of other code words used in advertising prostitution services. I know that iPhone apps such as TwitterFon and Twinkle specifically allow one to search for tags within one's general vicinity too. These features alone make it suitable for classified ads (and maybe even as a competitor to eBay). Add TwitPic in the mix for pictures of what you're getting and you're off to the races. But Twitter offers a protection against the likes of the Craigslist Killer that other services do not: social networking. At a minimum, prostitutes (or others) who regularly offer services over Twitter can network together and screen regulars with each other by direct messaging. In such a world, the first time the Craigslist Killer misbehaves, or tries tying up a prostitute to rob her, or is even a cop trying to bust the prostitute, he will have trouble because his Twitter identity will become known to everyone operating within that network. Many technologies are pioneered by adult services, including the VCR, DVD's and Internet webcams. I would look to prostitutes to lead the way on this, with others eventually posting classified ads on their Twitter accounts. There's no need for the cumbersome list of cities and categories that Craigslist offers, and I predict that in a few years it will look as quaint as, well, I'm coming up blank at the moment, need more coffee. But trust me, it will seem quaint and old fashioned. In fact, a quick Twitter search shows the process has already begun. |

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Gabe Yellow lab pup, a Pompton lakes Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Pompton lakes, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Pompton lakes.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Pompton lakes already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Pompton lakes breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Pompton lakes paves the way for another one to be saved.

One-Hour Martinizing: Cardenas Wins Miller Motorsports Park AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike Thriller Over DiSalvo
TOOELE, Utah (May 27, 2012) - Martin Cardenas ripped win number four of the 2012 season away from Jason DiSalvo on Sunday during The BigM Weekend presented by Lucas Oil at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah. Cardenas, who races for GEICO Suzuki, led only the very last section of track after a relentless 16-lap assault of DiSalvo, on board his Team Latus Motors Triumph. Cameron Beaubier of the Y.E.S/Graves/Yamaha team was able to retake third place from Jake Zemke (Ducshop Ducati).
The race developed into a three-man battle between DiSalvo, Cardenas, and Beaubier with Zemke and Bobby Fong shadowed just behind the trio. Beaubier was able to challenge DiSalvo several times and was able to move into the lead on lap 3 and lap 6. Cardenas was in close quarters with DiSalvo and Beaubier, but chose to let his two rivals battle for the lead.
With seven laps to go, Beaubier dropped back, leaving the fight at the front to the two multi-race winners. The last lap proved to be one of the season's highlights, with Cardenas pressing DiSalvo in every corner. The Triumph rider began the lap 0.525 seconds in front. He was able to hold off the Suzuki man until Club Corner, where Cardenas finally made the pass happen.
Cardenas quickly consolidated the lead by making a tight move on a lapped rider, leaving DiSalvo with no option to remount an attack in the last few yards.
It was Martin's third win of the year, and comes on the heels of a disastrous race at Sonoma that saw the Colombian crash out of second place while chasing DiSalvo for the win.
"At first, I think all of us were pushing hard, but not in excess. Then Jason got up front, and he put his head down and gapped us a bit," said Cardenas, who said he had to push to keep up. "I was planning to make my move at the hairpin but it didn't work out and I thought the race was lost then because he was very fast in the last sector. I got a very good drive, and we went side to side and I braked as hard as I could and passed him."
"It worked out, but it wasn't the original plan," he added.
Cardenas now leads by 31 points over Tommy Hayden (Y.E.S./Graves/Yamaha). It was his 22nd AMA Pro win and the 50th win for Team Hammer in AMA Pro Racing.
DiSalvo took another excellent finish after the double win in Sonoma but was disappointed not to take a victory after leading 14 laps.
"That was a tough one, leading so many laps and then it coming down to the last few corners and then losing out," said DiSalvo, who said he lost some grip near the end of the race. "I felt pretty happy with the race. I didn't leave anything on the table, and it came down to the last section. I was a little bit bummed about the lappers, and it's hard to say whether I would have been able to answer back to Martin's pass."
DiSalvo expects more battles with Beaubier and Cardenas. "I think all three of us have shown we are the class of the field, and I look forward to more battles with these guys," said DiSalvo.
Cameron, still injured after a non-racing crash, led some and proved he could run up front. "I burnt up my tire passing hard at the beginning, and I couldn't keep the pace at the end," he said.
Zemke took fourth once again, for the fourth time in 2012. Bobby Fong (Meen Motorsports) was fifth, ahead of charging Dane Westby (M4 Lucas Oil Suzuki) who moved up to sixth with J.D. Beach (RoadRace Factory/Red Bull) in tow over Benny Solis (Kneedraggers.com Yamaha). Hayden was ninth, ahead of Jake Gagne (RoadRace Factory/Red Bull).
AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike
Josh Hayes took advantage of the fast-improving conditions on Sunday morning to lay down a blistering 1:49.729 lap around Miller Motorsport Park, strong enough to increase his perfect run of pole positions this season to four.
And with that, the Monster Energy Graves Yamaha pilot moved clear of motorsport legend Wayne Rainey for fifth on the all-time list with his 16th career AMA Pro SuperBike pole position. Should Hayes continue his streak through June, he'll move alongside two other former world champions in Freddie Spencer (17) and Doug Polen (18).
The Mississippian was immediately up to speed on fresh rubber during the session but cautioned that tire wear could be a deciding factor in Monday's 16-lap race.
"I think tire life is probably a bit of an issue for everyone right now," the defending champ stated. "At the start of the session, I went out on yesterday's tires, and it was tough to get up to speed. I was watching Roger (Hayden) ride away from me, and I was like, 'Man, I hope it's not like this when I get a new tire.' We got a fresh one and it was definitely worth quite a bit to us."
Lining up alongside Hayes will be current points leader and '11 MMP victor Blake Young, who qualified second at 1:50.141 on the #79 Yoshimura Racing Suzuki GSX-R1000. Young was frustrated to see Hayes pick up another point in qualifying but sounded confident heading into tomorrow's race.
"We made some improvements compared to yesterday," Young said. "I think we have a pretty good racebike and that's what matters. I'm looking forward to the race and the Yoshimura Suzuki is working good for me once again. It should be an exciting race."
Meanwhile, the Erik Buell Racing contenders continued to underline the fact that they have truly arrived at the front and intend to stay there. Following an impressive double podium outing in Sonoma, the EBR1190RS of Geoff May (Team Amsoil/Hero EBR) and Danny Eslick (Team Hero EBR) will both start Monday's final from the front row with May third and Eslick fourth.

It's only been four months since Kate Winslet split from her former husband, Sam Mendes, but she's already nabbed herself a hot British male model named Louis Dowler. Dowler has modeled for Burberry and is 34 years old, just like Kate. A source has said, "They've been on lots of dates and get on really well. It's early days for them but they enjoy each other's company… He's not your typical model. Not at all big-headed. Louis has a good sense of humor and really is a lovely guy." [ND TV]
Kate's gorgeous and totally deserves a lovely guy who's equally lovely to look at, but what's with all the actresses picking up male models? We've rounded up nine other examples of how this might be the new trend.

Follow @heidoramaBio
Heidi Sobol obtained her Bachelor of Fine Art from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University in 1996 and her Master of Art Conservation at Queens University in 2000. Heidi has worked throughout North America, including the National Gallery of Canada and as a practicing paintings conservator in the private sector in Halifax, Nova Scotia. During her time in the Maritimes, Heidi provided the burgeoning arts community with an outlet to have their paintings conserved. Part of her time there was split with the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University where she taught a upper level course in the history of materials and methods in the art history department.
As the senior conservator of paintings, Heidi is responsible for the paintings at the ROM - whether they are constructed on flexible or rigid supports. The flexible supports are artworks like the paintings displayed in the Sigmund Samuel Gallery of Canada or the Canada's First Peoples Gallery. Rigid support artworks include the wall murals located in several galleries of the ROM, including the large early 14th century wall paintings in the Bishop White China gallery. Her conservation interests include technical art historical research and aqueous cleaning mechanisms of paintings.
The paintings conservation lab's main objective is to bring paintings in need of treatment off the "operating table" and in front of the public's eye. "The diversity of the ROM's painting collection is outstanding", remarks Ms. Sobol. "Every world culture department has hidden gems - these paintings in a way define the breadth of our collection."

Parents of Travel Players, Please do NOT get numbers on the shirts until you talk with your coach to ensure the number is available. Returning players have first choice on numbers since they already have their uniforms.
Travel Coaches,
Very few parents put down sizes for their kids on the travel registration form, we hope that many of them already have uniforms. The t-shirts will have to be taken to CTS in West Newton for the names and numbers to be put on, this is included in the $40 uniform price. We will be telling parents to contact their Coach to make sure there are no duplicate numbers.

That, or udev making more of its functionality optional via its build system (does it use autotools and configure, I never looked, to be honest?).

Funny, but as much as I am against Windows on a server, Windows Server is easier to turn off unneeded stuff than RHEL5 is. Windows Server comes with audio and TWAIN/IMAPI components disabled (or out right missing -- you have to add them back in through server manager). But try to remove features like sound, CD burning, various media players, text-to-speech, etc, from a fresh RHEL5 install, and you're in for a fight. It's not necessarily RHEL's fault, but more Gnome's fault because of the massive about of interdependency that you get with Gnome, and the fact RH chose to just not bother with it and build in a ton of stuff by default. Ditto for an install of OpenSolaris that I did. > I don't think that split filesystem installs are going away anytime > soon. In fact, when btrfs is finally mature we might see them > blossum.

ZFS encourages creating volumes and filesystems en masse. Right down to a separate ZFS mount for each user's home directory under /home, and /home itself is a mount point. So yeah, Btrfs, ZFS, etc...get an FS like those two which not only encourage dozens of mount points, but which seamlessly hide all the dirty details from you (and the users), and issues like this will simply vanish into thin air. -- Joshua Kinard Gentoo/MIPS email@example.com 4096R/D25D95E3 2011-03-28 "The past tempts us, the present confuses us, the future frightens us.

Computing Earth's Mass Before G
Name: Aaron Status: student Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
What were the ways of computing the mass of the earth in the 17th and 18th century?
This link may help:
Burr Zimmerman
The first recorded methods I know of were done in the middle of the 18th century.
One involved measuring the period of a pendulum on solid ground at sea level and on a plain very far above sea level. This can provide a ratio of the Earth's average density and the density of the ground that is above sea level.
A second involved deflection of a pendulum near a mountain. Using a star as a reference, deflection of a pendulum on top of a mountain and near the same mountain could provide a ratio of Earth mass to mountain mass.

The majority of MacBook Airs have either Mini Display Port or Thunderbolt (if you bought yours in the past 2-3 years. So you'd need a cable or adapter that is Mini DisplayPort to HDMI (this fits both thunderbolt and mini dp MacBook Airs.)
Apple has one on the site. Just search for Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. I have this cable and it works like a champ. This HDMI to HDMI cable will not work for you.- Answered by Brett M from Austin

A woman and her horse: the pairing that GM hopes will persuade female consumers to consider the Chevrolet line of trucks. At a time when truck ads are pushing masculinity to absurd heights, it's a bold move. Even so, it's a fundamentally conservative approach to a difficult marketing problem.
Tag: Commercial
I have driven more cars than I can count this year but strangely enough, none of them excited me as much as the Fiat Ducato we had in July. Why? Well, my snazzy new retaining wall that arrived pallet-by-pallet in the Ducato certainly helped, but the real reason is: the Ducato serves as the basis for the 2014 RAM ProMaster. Yes, I know I have an odd place in my heart for commercial cargo haulers, but hear me out. The ProMaster quite simply the biggest thing to happen in the commercial world in my lifetime. The only thing that could have surpassed the intrigue of a front-wheel-drive cargo hauler would be a front-wheel-drive BMW M5. I know Europeans have had these things for a while, but let's revel in the American novelty as we click past the jump.
Before we dive in, let's get one thing straight. This is not, I repeat NOT a review of the 2014 RAM ProMaster cargo van. Instead I managed to get my hands on a Euro spec Fiat Ducato van for a few days. The Ducato is the basis for the ProMaster, but the ProMaster is more than just a Fiat with a RAM on it. Fiat's Americanized cargo van might just be the biggest shakeup to the domestic commercial vehicle segment in our lifetime. Why? Front wheel drive, that's why. Intrigued?
When Nissan invited me to sample the Versa Note hatchback, tucked away in a corner was the new-to-America Nissan NV200 compact cargo van. No, this isn't a relative of the NV2500 that started out our commercial week in 2012, instead it's a purpose-built cargo hauler [very] loosely based on the underpinnings of the Nissan Cube. You may have also seen the NV200 shown as NYC's "Taxi of Tomorrow" choice, but this NV is all about hauling. (Strangely enough that's why it makes a good taxi.)
Americans with well worn passports often amaze their less-traveled friends with miraculous tales of a land full of tiny, fuel-efficient vehicles, expensive gasoline and miniature cans of Coke. (Really, those Coke cans are awesome.) The story inevitably ends with, "I wish I could buy X here". Ford has so far been the most receptive to these cries, with the tasty Euro Focus, Fiesta (and soon the Fusion/Mondeo) to our shores. But what about some fuel-efficient love for the man-in-the-van? That's where the Transit Connect fits in according to Ford. TTAC is no stranger to the Transit Connect with our own Sajeev Meta taking a spin in 2009. However in this review, we'll attempt to compare the Connect to the other commercial options on the market while channeling our inner Joe-six-pack.
The Connect is off to a good start, with sales climbing from 8,834 in 2009 to 31,914 in 2011 proving there is a market for a mini-bread-van. The small hauler even accounted for 21.4% of Ford's US van sales in 2011. Meanwhile, sales of the ancient and thirsty E-Series increased from 85,735 units to 116,874 from 2010 to 2011. By comparison, GM shifted just 89,211 vans in 2011. The reason behind the sales jump is obvious: high gas prices and no efficient cargo haulers to compete with it. But does that mean you should own one?
For a brand that seemingly doesn't have two nickels to rub together, a Super Bowl ad spot is quite an expenditure. Suzuki, makers of…umm…the GSX-R motorcycle, and some other assorted wares, will be broadcasting an ad during the Super Bowl. Apparently, the products have four wheels, not two. Who knew?
An Ohio judged has ruled [full ruling in PDF here] against Ford in a 2002 case alleging the automaker overcharged dealers by selling commercial trucks at unpublished prices between 1987 and 1998. According to the summary judgement, Ford's "CPA" program violated its contract with dealers by publishing "unrealistically high" wholesale prices and using "secretive, unpublished discounts" on an uneven basis, thereby overcharging some 3,000 dealers by an average of $1,650 for each of the 474,289 medium- and heavy-duty trucks sold in the applicable time period (about $1.2b of the ruling is for unpaid interest). The story is intriguing in its illustration of the differences between consumer and dealer incentives: while consumer-end incentives can be applied on a market-by-market basis, dealer invoice prices must be evenly applied across all markets according to Ford's contract with its dealers. The story is also of major significance considering Ford's still-shaky financial position, with automotive gross cash exceeding total debt by a mere $1.4b. Ford will appeal the ruling, but because the damages awarded are material rather than punitive, an expert tells the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ford's appeal could be "interesting." Which doesn't sound like great news to us…

"Our final brand and product offerings to our global customers are strongly impacted by the capabilities of our supply base," said Jeff Fettig, Whirlpool Corporation's president and chief operating officer. "Part of Whirlpool's success is based on the development, selection and partnership with global suppliers in ways that help us deliver the best value to our customers. The awards recognize the important role our suppliers have played in our success." Out of Whirlpool Corporation's 645 U.S. suppliers, the company's procurement department rated 30 companies the best. The suppliers were judged on their quality, productivity, and material management. A total of 35 awards will be handed out. "The suppliers that we are honoring this year are the cream of a very rich crop of partners that Whirlpool Corporation has partnered with over the years to become the world's leading home appliance manufacturer," said Steven Rush, Whirlpool Corporation's general manger of supply-base management.

This is actually a photo of the circle potager entrance from last year. The luffa is once again planted in place, it was spectacular! We enjoyed eating angled gourds from it all summer, and in the evenings the scent was fantastic. Draws tons of night pollinators to the garden which is important in the hot south, were tomatoes can often only bloom and be pollinated at night - sometimes it's the only way to get more tomatoes (they don't like to set fruit on terribly hot days). |

Here's that Jujube tree today (in the left of the luffa photo). It's grown expodentally and hopefully we'll get more than the two fruit that we had last year! We laughed about at least getting one each!! |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 ATL (My Page) on Sat, Jun 23, 12 at 23:22
We had to cut the rose hedge back drastically in late winter to get the new fence in and painted, so they aren't as lush as last year...but you can see the veggie garden is ringed by flowers and roses. Not as many flowers in the beds right now, not until I reconfigure the beds at some point... |

This is a bit better photo of the veggie garden. I have only my phone to use right now - the new camera is having lens operating problems (grrrr). It took lovely pictures for the first week!! |

This is the circle garden potager. It is growing very well - loads of flowers and tons of herbs with tomatoes and peppers dotted all around in the circle. On the outter most ring, near the fence there are more tomatoes, sweet potatoes and okra. Still small but growing. They were all planted very late to prolong our harvest in the fall. I find that staggering my harvest times helps me with preserving schedules. I can't wait to see this area in a few years. There are several more fruit bushes along the fence that will grow large and create so much more privacy and give a sense of enclosure. The roses on arches (hard to see in these photos) will also grow and create a tunnel over the walkway. |
It all looks amazing! I'm curious about your luffa. I grew them a couple years long time ago, but not in a controlled way. They climbed up and through the nearby ligustrums. Never harvested the fruit when it was young and never noticed a scent from the flowers. Are you growing a specific variety? |
Just looked again and saw chard in one of your beds. Mine succumbed to the heat more than a month ago. Does yours grow all summer? |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 ATL (My Page) on Sun, Jun 24, 12 at 21:11
the luffa is an angled gourd, the variety sold by Baker Creek seeds, it does well and I must cut it back and keep it on the arch. It produced about 150 or so gourds last year (easily, maybe more). We eat them at 6" long after scraping off the angles. The scent is heavenly, but only in the evenings. Daytime the flowers close. It's not really been super hot here yet, natal. I am suspecting chard may begin to shut down soon, we'll see (90's next 10 days or so). I have small clay flowerpots sunk in the soil, the bottom hole sealed with a dollop of mortar and a glass 1/2 marble, and the lid on top to close..filled with water at all times. Mulched heavily - hopfully that may work. Many of my clients have chard all summer with just a few hours of AM sun and the fake olla watering system...(and they keep other greens all summer this way too). |

Love the wine bottle tree!! Are the bottles permanently glued or placed over the top of dowels? Do you have veggies or flowers that grow up it? I'd love to try it here but I'm not sure if would hold up in our winds. Have you had any problems with this? |
Really beautiful! Love the purple fence (my favorite color :) Please tell me more about your jujube tree. I am very interested in planting one, as we have hot, rather dry summers here in central Oklahoma. What variety do you have? What did the fruit taste like? Its a very pretty tree. How long ago did you plant it? |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 ATL (My Page) on Tue, Mar 26, 13 at 22:46
Canokie, thank-you. The Jujube is a Sherwood, said to prefer a dry summer. It is fast growing and mine has not spread much but is growing taller than stated. It's got beautiful weeping, curving leaves and since it was grafted, only half of it bears fruit. I am assuming the other half is male. In these photos it is in my garden 3 years, the plant was two years old when I bought it. The fruit is 2" long and 1" around ovals, green they taste a bit like an apple, and have a pit like an olive. Brown they are very sweet, far too sweet. The ants LOVE them at this stage. I have not found a bird or another animal interested in the fruit which is a plus. The only negative I see to this tree is that it suckers. So for home garden purposes it would make an excellent lawn tree for a yard that has mowing. I simply have to cut back suckers several times in the growing season. |
Thank you very much for the response. You mentioned that the brown fruit is very sweet - would you say that it resembles dates? I know a lot of people don't like dates but I love them and was wondering if jujubes could really be preserved this way and if they would make a fair substitute. Thanks again! |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 ATL (My Page) on Fri, Apr 12, 13 at 14:48
I've never eaten a fresh date before, and I didn't dry my jujube's so I really can't say if they taste like a fresh date. Frankly, they tasted kind of like things do when they are over-ripe sweet/rotting.... |

Businesses are using cloud-based solutions like Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service and Software-as-a-Service to gain the cloud's immense range of benefits, yet the definition of cloud computing is still blurry for some enterprises and consumers.
According to a recent report by The Register, companies and consumers have been using SaaS for years, but only now are these services being associated with the term "cloud." Many enterprises are migrating traditional programs like customer relationship management and business intelligence to the cloud, yet a large portion of users don't even realize popular online applications are cloud-based.
"Things like Facebook and Hotmail are SaaS, it's just that we don't think of them that way," Zane Freame, a technology expert at Content and Code, told the source. "As a concept, SaaS is not a hard sell. The consumerization of technology means that people often have access to better smartphones and computers in their personal lives than at work. SaaS gives companies the opportunity to bring the latest and greatest apps to their organization to meet the needs of their users."
James Griffin, directory of product strategy at a United Kingdom reseller, told the technology news source that it's nearly impossible to draw a definitive line between SaaS and the cloud, as both are industry names for IT and communications services. According to Freame, SaaS enables enterprises to accommodate employees' desire for flexible, on-demand applications without spending significant funds on hardware, software licenses or IT management.
Many technology experts predict businesses will increasingly use SaaS to deploy CRM, email and human resources applications, among others, across multiple employee devices. According to market research firm Gartner, 27 percent of companies use SaaS to augment their business intelligence solutions, and that figure is expected to increase during the next few years.

Got an informational piece from the phone company with my bill, and one part keeps comin' back to me. They advise planting slow-grwing shrubs or trees ten feet tall and under near telephone and power lines. Doesn't say how tall they should eventually get--guess I'll move or die so I don't have to worry. Calls medium-sized trees 10-15 feet tall, and large trees 15-30 feet. Those aren't the size definitions I've always heard. I certainly agree it would be extremely helpful if people wouldn't plant trees that sooner or later will have to be butchered to make room for the power lines. Nothing looks much worse to me than a tree that's been whacked to fit a spot it should never have been planted in. But I keep going back to the sizes they list. Guess a small tree would have to be a bonsai if 10 to 15 feet is medium! Or is it just me? |

Of course I meant a 'small' tree. Can't believe I didn't catch that! |
Can't ...the Bald cypress ......... reach heights of 100-150 feet? The old oak trees in my yard are so tall I have to lean my head back and look way up ...also the old pecans .So they must be extra extra extra large if they are saying large trees are 15-30 feet . I agree about the butchered trees . We have a cedar that was here when we bought and the top keeps getting cut out of it because is under a telephone line . The kindest thing to do would be to take it out .I think I will put on my list of things to have done in the yard this year . I have made the same mistake with bushes..scrubs planting to close to foundations etc ..not allowing enough room for them to grow . LOL I was really trying to think what a 'wmall' tree was before you posted you meant small. |
- Posted by greenelbows1 z9--so LA (My Page) on Fri, Mar 25, 05 at 2:01
Come to think of it, I do have some Cassias that probably don't even get over six feet tall. I always feel a little silly calling them trees, even 'wmall' trees. I was born in the Pacific Northwest, and was bitterly disappointed (well, 'bitterly' might be overstating it!) when I saw my first 'giant redwood' because they're so short compared to my beloved Douglas firs. Thirty feet for 'tall' just really boggles my mind! |

You got me on this one. I am always learning about new plants after moving to the south, and just as I was begening to feel plants of the south smart, up comes this "Wmall Tree" :-) |
- Posted by Pterostyrax 8a (My Page) on Fri, Mar 25, 05 at 11:19
There are numerous small trees that are suitable for underneath power/phone lines. Some might quibble and call some of these shrubs, but they are all suitable woodies. Crepe Myrtle - numerous varieties that fit in the 10-15' range I could go on and on, but these are some starting suggestions to explore further. |
- Posted by greenelbows1 z9--so LA (My Page) on Sat, Mar 26, 05 at 2:51
It wasn't that I needed a list so much as that I was just puzzled by their listing that called anything over ten feet tall a 'medium' tree. Actually I've seen crepe myrtles that would be 'large' trees by their definition! I'm lucky--the power lines go on the other side of the street, so I don't have to worry about competing with them (except the lines to the house of course) and I agree most enthusiastically about planting with them in mind so no more trees have to be butchered. And I'll add my favorite to your excellent list--Chionanthus retusus, the Chinese fringe tree. Shaped like a live oak so it has had no damage in hurricanes, lovely bark, beautiful branching pattern, just starting to bloom now with its marvellously fragrant flowers, and small blue berries in the fall the birds love. If I could only have one tree (horrors!) that would be it. |

"So delicious! I love roasted cauliflower and I love cumin, but never tried them togther. I made a vegan version of the sauce by whipping up a cashew aioli and adding an already prepared harissa. Yummy, easy and healthy- you can't beat that. Thanks for posting, we'll be eating this again for sure."
"Socca is quickly becoming one of my new favorite foods. This recipe turned out great and I will definitely make it again and again. Letting the batter sit for 30 minutes and adding the onions make this recipe stand out from the rest. Tonight I topped it with leftover home-made pesto, caramelized onions and roasted walnuts. It was fantastic."
"Loved it. Easy, tasty and cheap- just the way I like it. I used long grain brown rice and therefore increased the water by a bit and cooked it longer. I think it changed the texture a bit, but great none the less. Thanks for posting"

I am a generally a fan of both the World Bank and of Google, but we should all be worried about their recent deal.
The intention is good: it is to promote crowd-sourcing of maps, to improve planning in disasters and to improve the planning, management and monitoring of public services. This is an important goal, which is now being made possible by new technologies and the spread of the internet. The deal is sufficiently important for World Bank Managing Director Caroline Anstey to write about it in the opinion pages of the New York Times:
Under the agreement, the bank and its development partners — developing country governments and U.N. agencies — will be able to access Google Map Maker's global mapping platform, allowing the collection, viewing, search and free access to data of geoinformation in over 150 countries and 60 languages.
This is all consistent with an admirable push in the World Bank towards 'democratising development', including becoming more open about its own activities and promoting open data. Indeed, this effort has come to be a defining achievement of Robert Zoellick period as World Bank President. As Sebastian Mallaby said in the FT the other day,
Where [the World Bank] once imposed prescriptions on the Third World, it now shares knowledge with respected clients from the new world. Where it once hoarded data, it now displays it on the web. … One decade ago, the Bank was routinely accused of indifference to the views of local people. Today Mr Zoellick talks of empowering the most humble netizen to provide feedback on projects.
So what is the problem with the deal? The problem is the way the data is licensed: once any data goes in to Google Map Maker, it all becomes the property of Google. If governments and citizens choose to use the Google Map Maker platform to contribute their information, then the data will only be available through Google's own mapping system, and the data will be available under conditions specified by Google. At least, that is what we believe: ironically, given that both the Bank and Google are trying to market themselves as leaders in transparency and openness, they have refused to publish their agreement. The Bank has said that they 'want a blanket permission from Google to provide NGOs, humanitarian groups, and other non-commercial entities with the data whenever they need it' – though we do not know if this has been written into the agreement (and if so in what terms) or is just wishful thinking. Even if this concession were secured, it would not be enough. Open data offers opportunities for everyone – not just NGOs and governments but social enterprises and businesses too, and they should all be allowed to use the data which governments and citizens have contributed.
There is an alternative platform – Open Street Map – which proved its value in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake. Data in Open Street Map is all available to everyone to use for any commercial or non-commercial purpose. So if the data were contributed to Open Street Map, it could be used by Google Map Maker, but not the other way round.
The World Bank defends itself by pointing out that the deal is non-exclusive – that is, everyone is free to give data to anyone else as well as to Google Map Maker. But that misses the point. Citizens will in practice contribute to one platform. If an organisation as prominent and powerful as the World Bank encourages governments and citizens, and UN organisations, to use Google Map Maker, then that becomes a de facto global standard.
I have no problem with Google, or any other company, making commercial use of this data. I have no ideological objection to the profit motive. On the contrary: having businesses looking for ways to make the best use of the data is a great way to generate innovation and improvements. We want businesses to try to make money by competing to serve the customer better – by providing better tools and services to access and use data. But we don't want businesses to try to make money by restricting access to the information, which is a public good in every sense of the word, because this reduces, rather than improves, services for the public. By entering into this partnership on these terms, the World Bank is backing closed instead of open; monopoly instead of competition; corporate fat cats instead of upstarts.
I do not think that Google is evil (not yet, anyway). I admire what Google has done to make mapping available more widely, and to promote crowdsourcing of maps. While I was living in Ethiopia, they put online some of the best available maps of many of Ethiopia's towns and cities, drawing in large part on citizen cartographers. But the fact that I am broadly sympathetic to Google does not mean that they should have sole control of this data.
The World Bank is trying to do the right thing. Their approach to opening up their own data has been exemplary. Caroline Anstey's article in the New York Times makes a powerful and persuasive case for open data. But the article makes a stronger case for working with Open Street Map, whose work in Haiti she specifically praises, than it does for a partnership with Google.
The World Bank has been listening to the concerns that have been raised, and it sounds as if they have realised that they have made a blunder. They have recently met with key groups in Washington and, according to Nathaniel Heller from Global Integrity, they are going to take 'concrete steps' to address these concerns. We don't know what these are going to be, but it seems to me that there are only two possible satisfactory resolutions. The first possible solution is for Google irrevocably to change the terms of the license for all the data in Google Map Maker to allow commercial and non-commercial use. I think that is unlikely (which should tell us something about Google's assessment of the possibility that they may want to do something in future with their control over the data). If Google will not do that, then the second solution is for the World Bank to terminate the agreement and instead encourage citizens and governments to contribute to Open Street Map, or some other genuinely open system. Google Map Maker can then use that data if they wish, like everyone else. Anything but these alternatives is likely to be an unsatisfactory fudge. Furthermore, the full terms of the agreement must be published.
The UK Government is increasingly a world leader in promoting open, reusable data, transparency and accountability. As a major shareholder in the Bank, and one of the largest contributors of funds for the World Bank's concessional lending, I hope the UK Government will put pressure on the World Bank to accept that this agreement does not satisfy their aspirations for open data, and instead to promote genuinely open sharing of mapping information which, as both Google and the World Bank rightly say, could make a significant contribution to humanitarian relief and to development.

Excellent post, Owen. I hope they listen. .
"once any data goes in to Google Map Maker, it all becomes the property of Google."
The link you used to back up this statement is actually referring to Map Maker source data. You Might want to take a look at what their TOS has to say about user submitted content:
Owen replies: Thank Terry. You are right that these are the terms of service for user-contributed content. And it is very clear that these terms envisage that all user-contributed information has to be accessed through the Google Map Maker system. For example, the TOS to which you link say this:
you may not use the Map Maker in a manner which gives you or any other person access to mass downloads or bulk feeds of numerical latitude and longitude coordinates.
User-contributed content is subject to the Google Terms of Service. They only way to avoid that is to put it somewhere else.
Fascinating and constructive post, great to see these initiatives getting underway, and very much appreciate the transparency you bring to the discussion –
On Terry Stigers post:
This shows all the more why the agreement between the WB and Google has to be public. Google can change its terms of service at any time. The benefit of a WB/Google agreement would be a contractually binding statement that Google cannot change the terms of service to exclude anyone from accessing the externally provided data at some later date. … but is it possible to make such a contractual statement really binding on the future? I suspect not.Owen: Could you explain your response better? I don't understand the significance of the quotation – does that prohibit an alternative site from doing massive data analysis of the uploaded information?
Owen replies: I'm sorry I was being cryptic Bill. The point is that an alternative service can not pull off the user-generated content (for example: location of water points) to put it into their offering (for example: a phone app) because the terms of service do not permit bulk downloading the data. If users put their data into Google Map Maker, other services cannot then get that data out of Google Map Maker to put it into something else.
Not Evil
Owen, thank you for your comments. As you know the World Bank is deeply committed to openness, and our intention is to increase accessibility by governments and their citizens to data that can transform lives. Unfortunately, in this process there has been some confusion around the World Bank's agreement with Google. Let me clarify a few issues.
The goal and scope of our agreement with Google is to facilitate faster access of Google Map Maker data to UN agencies and governments for humanitarian, development and disaster preparedness efforts. These data can be a powerful resource for governments and their citizens. For example, in the past several weeks, we have requested and quickly obtained access to Google data to prepare for two potential disasters – a cyclone in Madagascar and floods from melting snows in Tajikistan. In times of emergency, rapid access to data such as these can actually help save lives.
Your blog is particularly concerned about a different aspect of mapping—mapping data supplied by citizens. To clarify, the agreement does not encompass joint data creation through the Google Map Maker platform – crowdsourcing data is not part of the agreement. However, we very much believe that having citizens map water points, health facilities and schools can be instrumental in improving access to and accountability in the delivery of public services, especially for poor communities. In this endeavor, the World Bank has worked and will continue to work with multiple partners including Open Street Map (for example in Haiti, Indonesia, and Tanzania).
We believe citizen mapping can be a force for good. We recognize that for geospatial data, access, reach, and use are important and realize that achieving these goals may require flexible approaches and the use of multiple platforms, including for commercial and for non-commercial purposes. You point out that the World Bank's "approach to opening up their own data has been exemplary". Indeed, we continue to strongly believe in open data, and as we said earlier, wherever the World Bank collects mapping data directly from citizens, it will be open.
Great post Owen, thanks for picking this up.
Tidbit: to test the issue of how easy (or not) it is for non-profits to access Map Maker data, I submitted a formal request to Google through the standard channels to access Map Maker content two weeks ago. After getting a reply back a few days later asking for details of how we'd use it, I've yet to hear from them again.
This points out another troubling aspect of the Bank (or anyone else) tacitly or otherwise encouraging folks to use a service like Map Maker that puts a commercial provider in the driver's seat with respect to data release: what if they are busy/lazy/uninterested/unorganized? How many days we will really have in a crisis situation before it's too late? What is the Google folks are on vacation during the next Haiti? Those are serious questions.

Theater Review: 'The Great American Trailer Park Musical'
Date: February 13, 2013
by: Paula Atwell | Theater Critic
"Trailer Park," now gracing Venice Theatre's Stage II, is an outrageously raunchy parody of so-called trailer-trash (read lower class) society. Written with some wit — book by Betsy Kelso and music by David Nehls — the show successfully skewers popular predilections of the lightly educated, but throughout the hilarious bombardment of jokes at their expense, it manages to show sympathy for all the ridiculously stereotyped characters. It may be loud and lewd, but it's not lacking in heart, and directed by Kelly Wynn Woodland, it goes by in the blink of an eye, punctuated by frequent chortling.
A parody is only as strong as the truth it seeks to exaggerate, and a musical only as good as its tunes. This production succeeds at both. With help from costume designer Priscilla Boyd and scenic designer John Michael Andzulis, we recognize the knickknacks that "make a house a home," the tights and bosom boosting tops on the women, the men in loud t-shirts, oversized florals, and even some comedy icons like trench coats on FBI, striped PJs and a black fedora on the villain, Groucho Marx glasses with nose and mustache attached, a gold lame onesie and a penchant for Swarovski crystals.
The original music is lively, with catchy, danceable tunes, ranging from good old rock 'n' roll to country to ballad, with punchy, comical lyrics, all under the direction of Peter Madpak. Choreographer Laura Priscilla Hoffman keeps the talented cast on their high heels with lots of entertaining boogaloo and frug type moves as well as a hint of pole dancing.
All the players in the talented cast sing, dance, and spout funny lines. Andrea Keddell-Heintz plays agoraphobic trailer dweller Jeannie Garstecki, and Steven O'Dea plays her tempted-to-stray husband who frequently expounds "Holy Ham Sandwiches." Pippi, beautifully played by Danae DeShazer, is a stripper hiding from her gun-toting boyfriend in the trailer for rent next door. All three sing a lovely medley, "But He's Mine/It's Never Easy." Travis M. Rogers plays Duke, the boyfriend who, in one of the more pointedly satirical scenes pulls out his gun, only to see the entire trailer park pull out their guns. The girls, who are sort of a Greek chorus, as well as characters of their own, and who do the bulk of the singing and dancing are played by Melanie Souza as Betty, Laura Priscilla Hoffman as Lin, and Liz Pascoe as Donna/Tina.

Israeli born ad-tech veteran Yaron Galai is currently at work on his fourth company, Outbrain, which serves up more than 3.5 billion pageviews a month to publishers like CNN, Fox and The Atlantic. "My two previous companies worked by interruption, which I hated. We were trying to get you to click away from a story on the kind of ad that personally, I ignore."
Outbrain works to send "engaged" readers to publishers, meaning visitors they believe will actually enjoy the story they land on, then be likely to click through to other articles and visit the site again in the future. "The world is brainwashed by relevancy," Mr. Galai said, chatting with Betabeat at our Midtown offices. "If you're reading an article about Steve Jobs, and we send you to another article about Steve Jobs, or about the iPhone, yes that is "relevant", but it's probably not that interesting." Read More

Alien Spidy Crawls Towards Release
A brand new action-platformer called Alien Spidy has been let loose on the world today, giving players a chance to jump into the eight shoes of a technologically advanced alien spider who's looking for his buddy.
Enigma Software has developed a single-player action-platformer that lets you swing around some positively alien environments (though they're on earth), in a bid to find your friend, Virgi, and the parts to fix your crashed ship.
Spidy swings, swims, and crawls his way to victory in this game, and can do so thanks to some fantastic controls and a cool swinging mechanic. According to the press release, other features in the game include:
- Great Controls: Intuitive controls enable players to walk, run, jump, push, swing, and swim.
- Simple Training: Learn the ropes in five training levels.
- 69 Levels, Three Stages: Explore 69 levels across three vast stages (Forest, Pond, Caves).
- Leaderboards: Compete with friends by comparing level-specific and global scores on the online leaderboards.
- Non-Linear Level Structure: After the five Training levels, each stage enables players to choose the levels they want, and in which order they want to play them in.
- Lots of NPCs: Experience a broad, evolving cast of non-playable characters and diverse enemies – from lazy sloths, needle-shooting hedgehogs, ravenous fish, pesky mosquitos, and lots more – in each level and setting.
- Collect Orbs and Power-ups: Collect energy orbs and power-ups to progress and defeat enemies.
- Secret Levels: Earn stars to unlock special secret levels.
- Unity3D: Alien Spidy is built on the Unity3D Engine.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Cue!
Facts about Cue
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: White (Mostly)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Cue's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Say "Hello" to Cue! Cue is an adorable little female kitten. What can we say about her? Well let's start with she is adorable, she is playful, she is cute, she is cuddly. And she is only 8 weeks-old. Cue has been spayed, she has her shots, She has a great lovable personality…The only thing she needs is you. So come and meet her, adopt her, take her home so she can be complete.
Other Pets at Cascades Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cue, a Jackson Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Jackson, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Jackson.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Jackson already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Jackson breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Jackson paves the way for another one to be saved.

American Standard Version (ASV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now Jehovah said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee: | 1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. |
2 and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make they name great; and be thou a blessing; | 2 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. |
3 and I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed. | 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." |
4 So Abram went, as Jehovah had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. | 4 So Abram left, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Haran. |
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. | 5 He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there. |
6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. | 6 Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. |
7 And Jehovah appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto Jehovah, who appeared unto him. | 7 The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring I will give this land." So he built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him. |
8 And he removed from thence unto the mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Ai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto Jehovah, and called upon the name of Jehovah. | 8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD. |
9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South. | 9 Then Abram set out and continued toward the Negev. |
10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was sore in the land. | 10 Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe. |
11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon: | 11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, "I know what a beautiful woman you are. |
12 and it will come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. | 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, 'This is his wife.' Then they will kill me but will let you live. |
13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister; that it may be well with me for thy sake, and that my soul may live because of thee. | 13 Say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you." |
14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. | 14 When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that she was a very beautiful woman. |
15 And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. | 15 And when Pharaoh's officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace. |
16 And he dealt well with Abram for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camels. | 16 He treated Abram well for her sake, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, menservants and maidservants, and camels. |
17 And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife. | 17 But the LORD inflicted serious diseases on Pharaoh and his household because of Abram's wife Sarai. |
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? | 18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram. "What have you done to me?" he said. "Why didn't you tell me she was your wife? |
19 why saidst thou, She is my sister, so that I took her to be my wife? now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way. | 19 Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!" |
20 And Pharaoh gave men charge concerning him: and they brought him on the way, and his wife, and all that he had. | 20 Then Pharaoh gave orders about Abram to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and everything he had. |
