Kansas spends more money on education that any other item in the state budget, and education funding will likely be the dominant issue when lawmakers convene the legislative session in January.
A state court has already ordered lawmakers to spend more on education. And soon, the Kansas Supreme Court will issue its own ruling on a lawsuit that claims the state has been shortchanging public schools. All of this led lawmakers to spend two days last week studying up on school funding.
The formula
Testimony in the Kansas school finance trial will draw to a close today as lawyers in the case call their final witnesses.
The trial in the ongoing school finance lawsuit is continuing this week, with a leading member of the Kansas Senate testifying on behalf of the plaintiffs.
A top official at the Kansas State Department of Education says recent budget cuts have pushed some school districts to the brink of insolvency.
The Kansas school finance trial enters its third week. A plan to replace Medicaid in Kansas drew criticism at its first public hearing. It's a double dose of Shakespeare in Kansas City. That & more news from KCUR.
The trial resumes today in the school finance lawsuit where 54 school districts are claiming the state of Kansas is under-funding public education.
An expert witness in the ongoing school finance trial says Kansas is under-funding public schools by thousands of dollars per pupil each year.
Judges in the Kansas school finance lawsuit are being asked to decide how much responsibility the state has in making sure all children have the same chance at a quality education.
Kansas school districts are digesting a sweeping school finance plan proposed today by Governor Sam Brownback.
He promises no district will lose state funds via the proposal, which is designed to give local boards a freer hand in spending. It would also allow districts to raise property taxes.
The property tax cap, set by state law, would be removed under the Brownback plan, which would go into effect in July 2013. President of the Shawnee Mission School Board Craig Denny was struck by that and another provision.

Some trends that will continue in 2013
I'm usually annoyed by lists of year-end predictions. Still, a reporter asked me for some, and I found one kind I was comfortable making.
Trends that I think will continue in 2013 include:
Growing attention to machine-generated data. Human-generated data grows at the rate business activity does, plus 0-25%. Machine-generated data grows at the rate of Moore's Law, also plus 0-25%, which is a much higher total. In particular, the use of remote machine-generated data is becoming increasingly real.
Hadoop adoption. Everybody has the big bit bucket use case, largely because of machine-generated data. Even today's technology is plenty good enough for that purpose, and hence justifies initial Hadoop adoption. Development of further Hadoop technology, which I post about frequently, is rapid. And so the Hadoop trend is very real.
Application SaaS. The on-premises application software industry has hopeless problems with product complexity and rigidity. Any suite new enough to cut the Gordian Knot is or will be SaaS (Software as a Service).
Newer BI interfaces. Advanced visualization — e.g. Tableau or QlikView — and mobile BI are both hot. So, more speculatively, are "social" BI (Business Intelligence) interfaces.
Price discounts. If you buy software at 50% of list price, you're probably doing it wrong. Even 25% can be too high.
MySQL alternatives. NoSQL and NewSQL products often are developed as MySQL alternatives. Oracle has actually done a good job on MySQL technology, but now its business practices are scaring companies away from MySQL commitments, and newer short-request SQL DBMS are ready for use.

Couchbase 2.0
My clients at Couchbase checked in.
- After multiple delays, Couchbase 2.0 is well into beta, with general availability being delayed by the holiday season as much as anything else.
- Couchbase (the company) now has >350 subscription customers, almost all for Couchbase (the product) — which is to say for what was known as Membase, which is basically a persistent version of Memcached.
- There also are many users of open source Couchbase, most famously LinkedIn.
- Orbitz is a much-mentioned flagship paying Couchbase customer.
- Couchbase customers mainly seem to be replacing a caching layer, Memcached or otherwise.
- Couchbase headcount is just under 100.
The big changes in Couchbase 2.0 versus the previous (1.8.x) version are:
- JSON storage, including secondary indexes.
- Multi-data-center replication.
- A back-end change from SQLite to a heavily forked version of CouchDB, called Couchstore.
Couchbase 2.0 is upwards-compatible with prior versions of Couchbase (and hence with Memcached), but not with CouchDB.
Technology notes on Couchbase 2.0 include: Read more

More on Cloudera Impala
What I wrote before about Cloudera Impala was quite incomplete. After a followup call, I now feel I have a better handle on the whole thing.
First, some basics:
- Impala is open source code, developed to date entirely by Cloudera people, which adds analytic DBMS capabilities to Hadoop as an alternative to Hive.
- Impala is in public beta, and is targeted for general availability Q1 2013 or so.
- Cloudera plans to get paid for Impala by providing support, and by offering Impala management through its proprietary Cloudera Manager.
- Impala has been under development for about 2 years. A team of 7 or so developers has been mainly in place for a over a year. Furthermore, …
- … notwithstanding that it's best viewed as a Hive alternative, Impala actually reuses a lot of Hive.
The general technical idea of Impala is:
- It's an additional daemon that runs on each of your Hadoop nodes.
- Thus, Impala is not subject to Hadoop MapReduce's latency in starting up Java processes or in storing intermediate result sets to disk.
- Impala operates as a distributed parallel analytic DBMS.*
- Impala works with a variety of Hadoop storage options, each with its own implications for latency or performance.

Notes and comments — October 31, 2012
Time for another catch-all post. First and saddest — one of the earliest great commenters on this blog, and a beloved figure in the Boston-area database community, was Dan Weinreb, whom I had known since some Symbolics briefings in the early 1980s. He passed away recently, much much much too young. Looking back for a couple of examples — even if you've never heard of him before, I see that Dan 's 2009 comment on Tokutek is still interesting today, and so is a post on his own blog disagreeing with some of my choices in terminology.
Otherwise, in no particular order:
1. Chris Bird is learning MongoDB. As is common for Chris, his comments are both amusing and enlightening.
2. When I relayed Cloudera's comments on Hadoop adoption, I left out a couple of categories. One Cloudera called "mobile"; when I probed, that was about HBase, with an example being messaging apps.
The other was "phone home" — i.e., the ingest of machine-generated data from a lot of different devices. This is something that's obviously been coming for several years — but I'm increasingly getting the sense that it's actually arrived.

Quick notes on Impala
Edit: There is now a follow-up post on Cloudera Impala with substantially more detail.
In my world it's possible to have a hasty 2-hour conversation, and that's exactly what I had with Cloudera last week. We touched on hardware and general adoption, but much of the conversation was about Cloudera Impala, announced today. Like Hive, Impala turns Hadoop into a basic analytic RDBMS, with similar SQL/Hadoop integration benefits to those of Hadapt. In particular:
- Impala is Hive-compatible in query language (HQL, which is a whole lot like SQL), metadata, JDBC/ODBC drivers, etc.
- Unlike Hive, Impala does not work through Hadoop MapReduce.
- Unlike Hadoop MapReduce and hence Hive, Impala does not persist intermediate results to disk. This is good for performance, but on extremely long-running queries it increases the risk you'll have a node failure and have to restart the query from scratch.
- Impala in its first version is missing some Hive syntax, notably in support for UDFs (User-Defined Functions).
Beyond that: Read more

Notes, links and comments August 6, 2012
I haven't done a notes/link/comments post for a while. Time for a little catch-up.
1. MySQL now has a memcached integration story. I haven't checked the details. The MySQL team is pretty hard to talk with, due to the heavy-handedness of Oracle's analyst relations.
2. The Large Hadron Collider offers some serious numbers, including:
- 1 petabyte/second.
- 6 x 109 collisions/second.
- Only 1 in 1013 collision records kept (which I guess knocks things down to a 100 byte/second average, from the standpoint of persistent storage).
- Real-time filtering by a cluster of several thousand machines, over a 25 nanosecond period.
3. One application area we don't talk about much for analytic technologies is education. However: Read more

Memory-centric data management when locality matters
Ron Pressler of Parallel Universe/SpaceBase pinged me about a data grid product he was open sourcing, called Galaxy. The idea is that a distributed RAM grid will allocate data, not randomly or via consistent hashing, but rather via a locality-sensitive approach. Notes include:
- The original technology was developed to track moving objects on behalf of the Israeli Air Force.
- The commercial product is focused on MMO (Massively MultiPlayer Online) games (or virtual worlds).
- The underpinnings are being open sourced.
- Ron suggests that, among other use cases, Galaxy might work well for graphs.
- Ron argues that one benefit is that when lots of things cluster together — e.g. characters in a game — there's a natural way to split them elastically (shrink the radius for proximity).
- The design philosophy seems to be to adapt as many ideas as possible from the way CPUs manage (multiple levels of) RAM cache.
The whole thing is discussed in considerable detail in a blog post and a especially in a Hacker News comment thread. There's also an error-riddled TechCrunch article. Read more

Introduction to Neo Technology and Neo4j
I've been talking some with the Neo Technology/Neo4j guys, including Emil Eifrem (CEO/cofounder), Johan Svensson (CTO/cofounder), and Philip Rathle (Senior Director of Products). Basics include:
- Neo Technology came up with Neo4j, open sourced it, and is building a company around the open source core product in the usual way.
- Neo4j is a graph DBMS.
- Neo4j is unlike some other graph DBMS in that:
- Neo4j is designed for OLTP (OnLine Transaction Processing), or at least as a general-purpose DBMS, rather than being focused on investigative analytics.
- To every node or edge managed by Neo4j you can associate an arbitrary collection of (name,value) pairs — i.e., what might be called a document.
Numbers and historical facts include:
- > 50 paying Neo4j customers.
- Estimated 1000s of production Neo4j users of open source version.*
- Estimated 1/3 of paying customers and free users using Neo4j as a "system of record".
- >30,000 downloads/month, in some sense of "download".
- 35 people in 6 countries, vs. 25 last December.
- $13 million in VC, most of it last October.
- Started in 2000 as the underpinnings for a content management system.
- A version of the technology in production in 2003.
- Neo4j first open-sourced in 2007.
- Big-name customers including Cisco, Adobe, and Deutsche Telekom.
- Pricing of either $6,000 or $24,000 per JVM per year for two different commercial versions.

Why I'm so forward-leaning about Hadoop features
In my recent series of Hadoop posts, there were several cases where I had to choose between recommending that enterprises:
- Go with the most advanced features any vendor was credibly advocating.
- Be more cautious, and only adopt features that have been solidly proven in the field.
I favored the more advanced features each time. Here's why.
To a first approximation, I divide Hadoop use cases into two major buckets, only one of which I was addressing with my comments:
1. Analytic data management.* Here I favored features over reliability because they are more important, for Hadoop as for analytic RDBMS before it. When somebody complains about an analytic data store not being ready for prime time, never really working, or causing them to tear their hair out, what they usually mean is that:
- It couldn't do the work that needed doing …
- … with reasonable performance and turnaround time …
- … without undue effort in administration and/or programming.
Those complaints are much, much, more frequent than "It crashed". So it was for Netezza, DATAllegro, Greenplum, Aster Data, Vertica, Infobright, et al. So it also is for Hadoop. And how does one address those complaints? By performance and feature enhancements, of the kind that the Hadoop community is introducing at high speed. Read more

Notes on HBase 0.92
This is part of a four-post series, covering:
- Annoying Hadoop marketing themes that should be ignored.
- Hadoop versions and distributions, and their readiness or lack thereof for production.
- In general, how "enterprise-ready" is Hadoop?
- HBase 0.92 (this post)
As part of my recent round of Hadoop research, I talked with Cloudera's Todd Lipcon. Naturally, one of the subjects was HBase, and specifically HBase 0.92. I gather that the major themes to HBase 0.92 are:
- Performance, scalability, and so on.
- "Coprocessors", which are like triggers or stored procedures.
- Security, as the first major application of co-processors.
HBase coprocessors are Java code that links straight into HBase. As with other DBMS extensions of the "links straight into the DBMS code" kind,* HBase coprocessors seem best suited for very sophisticated users and third parties.** Evidently, coprocessors have already been used to make HBase security more granular — role-based, per-column-family/per-table, etc. Further, Todd thinks coprocessors could serve as a good basis for future HBase enhancements in areas such as aggregation or secondary indexing.

Books Like the Sookie Stackhouse Series
List Criteria: Fantasy books similar to the Sookie Stackhouse Series
One of the things that makes Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books so great is the combination of humor with all of the supernatural romance and other goings on. Some 'Southern Vampire Mysteries' fans love the romance more -- but others love the hilarity. This list includes a mix of books; some are much more focused on love and sex, but others are really, really funny. An example of the funny: the 'Undead' series by MaryJanice Davidson! The first book in the series, 'Undead and Unwed,' introduces readers to Betsy (Don't Call Her Elizabeth) Taylor, a young woman who dies tragically -- but then gets turned into a (hysterically funny, witty) vampire. Nicole Peeler's 'Jane True' series is another great example (the first book in the series, 'Tempest Rising,' is listed here).
For straight-up paranormal romance hotness, J.R. Ward's 'Black Dagger Brotherhood' series is a great place to start (the first book is 'Dark Lover'). Laurell K. Hamilton's 'Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter' series starts off pretty tame (the first book is 'Guilty Pleasure'), but things definitely heat up as the series progresses.
Whatever your pleasure, hopefully you'll be able to find a few great new books to read after you've finished Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books!
If you're a die hard bookworm, you might also be interested in these lists of books like 'Twilight,' 'The Hunger Games' and 'Harry Potter.'
Sookie Stackhouse fans might also enjoy these lists of the hottest guys and women on 'True Blood.'
More lists include Bo Derek Hot, Brit Morgan Hot, Marisa Tomei Hot, Jayne Mansfield Hot and Claire Coffee Hot

In September, the dolphin hunting season opens in Taiji, Japan. The location of the largest slaughter of dolphins in the world, this small Japanese fishing village became infamous in 2009 with the release of the Oscar-winning documentary film, The Cove. Join us for this special conversation with The Cove's star, Ric O'Barry, and Mark Palmer from the International Marine Mammal Project. International attention and pressure since the film's release has led to a sharp decline in the number of dolphins killed for meat. But each year hundreds of dolphins are taken from their families and sold to amusement parks and swim with dolphin programs around the globe.

The Alumni Admissions Program (AAP) is a world wide alumni volunteer organization that coordinates and conducts the interview process for first year and transfer applicants to Georgetown University. Georgetown is among the few schools in the nation to require an admissions interview, and the AAP membership (nearly 5,000 alumni strong) interviews the vast majority of the applicants. Members of the AAP may be involved in the admissions effort in a variety of other ways, including attending receptions, college nights and local business meetings.
The Part I of the Georgetown application triggers the alumni interview, and the interviews are assigned between September and March. Both the interviewer and the student receive a notice informing them of the interview, and ask the student to take the initiative to contact his/her interviewer.
New Member Interest
If you are a Georgetown alumnus interested in joining the AAP, we would love to hear from you. There are many committees around the country and world that are in need of new interviewers each admissions cycle.
The interviewing cycle has begun for the 2014-15 season; so we are not adding any new interviewers. If you fill out the AAP Membership Interest Form now, we will be in touch in August 2015 to confirm that we have added you to an admissions committee. If you have any questions in the meantime, please call (202) 687 3600 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

This is an adaptation of my favorite chicken tortilla soup recipe. If you have the calories to spare, make some tortilla chips in the oven to eat with the soup and top with a bit of sour cream, cheese, avocado and anything else you like! It is very flavorful on it's own, though. Be sure to use high-quality enchilada sauce, as some brands can be greasy. I like to add other veggies in sometimes, such as carrots and squash.

The Apron Lukrecja by COOKie finds a way to beautifully integrate architecture and sculpture into normally mundane kitchen apparel. While aprons of the past are meant to act as guards against grease and other cooking spills, this apron is a work of art in and of itself and should be protected from such mishaps.
Made from 100% thick cotton that drapes beautifully in a ballerina-style, individuals who see this garment will be praising your apron first and your culinary skills second. By the way the Apron Lukrecja has been designed it requires some care when putting on and it also shows off a substantial amount of the female form. This makes it a piece of fashion that is not meant for the insecure. Showcase your love for fashion, architecture and artwork in an apron that is a true testament to all three.

Thanks Dr. Ben for another year of great postings on the Bible and Culture website! I read your blog every day and often, often, forward postings to other people as well.
Thanks for the time, insight, scholarship and humor you bring to this resource.
You, and this blog, are truly a blessing! I'm looking forward to the postings that are coming in 2013!
- Merv Olsen
Happy Birthday, Dr Ben.
I have been collecting ands aving your posts for just over a year now. I love the variety of articles you present. Your genuine humanness is such a rare delight to find these days alongside your brilliant and Christ-honouring scholarship. I have appreciated your videosand I thoroughly enjoy your poems, too!
I am always encouraged by your transparency, honesty, graciousness and compassion. Your series on grieving your beloved Christie were so insightful and helpful. I'm sure I'll be passing these on to others.
Though I'll never have the opportunity to hear or meet you in the flesh (unless you visit Brisbane, Australia) I surre will look forward to meeting you in the glory one day.P.S. I am a 66 year-old retired Baptist Pastor.
What Marie said!

Hello, Ben!
Happy birthday to you, dear friend. If I've done the math right, Jeannie and I have known you more than half of your life!!! We"re the better for it.
Blessings! Steve
- Betty Johnson
Yes, thank you Dr. Witherington for sharing your life with us through your blog. Amen to everything Marie said. Before I get out of bed each morning, I have devotions and read your blog. Thank you for teaching a balance between strong scholarship and wise, heartfelt living. Happy birthday!
- Oscar
Congrats on making it this far Ben! I'm just a few months ahead of you so I can say that we are on parallel life journeys. Time, indeed, is much too short, and getting shorter with each passing day! We can no longer blithely take for granted each passing hour, nor can we just shift into cruise control without thinking. Friends become more dear, the pleasures of life become less mundane, and each morning we rise becomes a special blessing. And one of MY blessings is reading your blog each morning. On the bible your expertise is peerless, on politics your opinions can be challenging, and on entertainment your views can be enlightening. So keep it up, as long as your mind allows.
On getting older I look to my mother for a predictor of longevity. She is 82 years old and still going strong and I tell her that she has to reach 90 before she goes. At that time I believe that I'll be able to make it as far as she, God willing. Her mind is sharp and she is still nor afraid to engage the world around her.
Ben, I wish for you more years than your parents, and a mind that refuses to bow to ossification, even though it may lead you into paths your youth may never have imagined. Happy Birthday!
- Dan
Thanks for the Blog. I am having diffuclty understanding how an ancient book like the Bible can have any meaning for people today. Do you have any books that you would recomend to me that would change my mind otherwise?
Sincerely n God Bless,

Happy Birthday, Ben. Thanks for all the fine reading this past year. Looking forward to more in 2013.
- David Booth
Happy Birthday and thank you so much for sharing your life, thought and love The Lord. May the Father's love enfold you as you bare witness Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit. Your books were central to my understanding of, the NT and challenged my assumptions on Calvinism and so called 'complementarianism' – along with Roger Olson and Philip Payne – I now hold with a good conscience an Arminian/egalitarian outlook. Thank you.

So I planted ligularia "The Rocket" this spring on the east side of my house. It gets sun all morning until about 1:30. Every day it wilts really bad. I haven't had it planted for long, so I'm wondering if I should just continue to water it where it is and once it settles in, it'll bounce back? Or do I need to move it to the north side of my house - which gets about 4 hours of weak sun. (very early morning, late evening)
Thanks for any advice! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have one on the east side of the house as well, Weeper, and it does the same thing. This is its second year there. I just keep watering. There are two more in another bed in deeper shade and they're fine. |
- Posted by squirelette 3 Ab (My Page) on Tue, Jun 16, 09 at 12:33
I have the same problem, It gets sun from 10 - 12 and then from 3-5 and the only time it does not look wilted is right after I water. It hung on and looked sad all last year and was doing the same this year so I potted it up and set the pot in my pond. It looked good for the first 2 days and now it looks all limp again. Granted it will need time to settle in, it has only been a few days, but I am starting to think it can not tolerate the sun at all |
My ligularia is Othello and is in full sun beside the pond. I placed it in a lower spot that holds extra water. When I planted it five years ago, I gave it lots of peat moss, leaf mould, and sheep manure--I replenish some of that each year) and mulch it well and it does great. |

Most ligs prefer partial shade, it can depend on the variety, but I have had some do well in partial sun. As a whole, ligs are good at complaining even if they are in an appropriate spot. Mine usually starts to complain around two in the afternoon, even in partial shade. Adequate watering is not usually enough to keep the large leaves from flagging when exposed to the full heat of the afternoon sun. Although the wilted leaves quickly recover once the sun has passed, try planting them in dappled or light shade to avoid the problem. A layer of deep organic mulch around the plant will help keep the roots cool, conserve moisture, and add nutrients to the soil. Cheers |
Yes, I moved them to the north side of the house where it gets almost no direct sunlight. Still, the heat alone seems to be enough to wilt it during the day - even though it is mulched and watered. Oh well. I'm hoping that once it is more established maybe it won't look so sad in the afternoon. Thanks for the replies, guys. |
I have both the rocket and othello in a north facing bed and I indeed find that the heat will cause the rocket to wilt but it will bounce back later in the day. Othello does not seem as particular; I would expect because it has a thicker leaf. |
I'm really discouraged now. I planted 2 Rocket Ligs early this spring. I live in zone 8, almost zone 9. I am new to this zone and really new to Ligularias. Help me here. Should I call my zone 8b? Anyway, my ligs look horrible in the afternoon and I have them in a partly shaded area in a hole that I thought would be boggy. In normal weather here it could be! But we are dry and it's only late spring. I think it's just too hot here, but the catalog said it would work in this zone. It will never make it to July. But I have heard you can line the planting hole with a black plastic sack with a few drainage holes in it, then line that with cardboard, and pile in compost and humus rich soil, then plant the lig in that and water like crazy in partial shade or mostly shade. Has anyone tried this? I am going to transplant my ligs and do this. Mine are blooming now, but they are small blooms. NOTHING like the pictures. Should I try to limp (no pun intended) through this year by watering twice a day every day with many kind words and soothing sounds? maybe even some soggy sponges around the thing? Or should I just go for it (what the heck!) and transplant now? Can you tell I am ready to give up? |
Sorry. My previous post (I'm really discouraged)was my first post. I have no idea how I ended up in the Far North Gardening Forum. I'm sure you think I am mad for planting ligs this far south. I'll be more careful next time. |
LOL Don't worry about it! I did wonder, though, when i saw your zone, but i figured there have to be people in the south planting it. You have some good ideas, like about the plastic bag and the peat moss. Update on mine five years later. I've mulched the ones in the east bed every year and they do not too badly. The ones in the other bed really should be the ones to complain since they're planted close to a tree that should be competing for moisture. However, those rarely wilt. Not sure what's going to happen this year because they haven't even shown up yet, while the ones in the east bed are a couple of inches high already. |

Violet, it's okay, welcome anyway. I have a few ligularias in deep, moist shade and they're fantastic. I think if you had somewhere really shady it would be worth transplanting them. Mine are against the northeast wall of my house, with a mountain ash tree giving shade from the east. They're right where the overflow of my rain barrel comes out too. IMO if you have to fight back a layer of moss, your ligs will do great. ;) |
Hi Marcia, I have a couple of ligularia that haven't come up yet either. But one is on the north side of the house, and everything is later there. So there's still hope. |
That bed was under so much snow that it's a wonder anything's up in there. The crocuses just bloomed and the tulips are barely up. So i'll give it a while and see if they show. Not worried yet. :) |
Checked again this evening and there are a few leaves poking out of the ground. |
Me too Marcia, Mind you it got up to 34 degrees Celsius yesterday! That changed things in my yard rather quickly. Back to reality today. Cool and windy again. I'm finding the soil quite dry for this time of year, probably due to so much drying wind! |

I have a 24" Craftsman Snow Blower with a Thecumsen engine. 2STG 5HP24. 31AS615E099 The thing starts but stalls for the first 5-6 times. Then it will run fine as long as I am not engaging the auger. Once I start to throw snow, it will stay running with the choke off. Then it will bog down and stall. The engine never seems to kick into overdrive to either keep running or throw snow, After it stalls it takes 4-5 pulls and it starts again, but the same thing happens. Runs stalls, runs stalls, etc. Any help would be much appreciated. |

The numbers you posted are just emissions numbers. The Sears number will be something like 917.xxxxxx. IF the engine IS a Tecumseh, it should have a number beginning 143.xxxxxx. |
I know the others don't want to jump the gun! SO I will? Sounds like two tipicial engine problems? water has migrated into the fuel tank, and/or carb.gummed up from setting. Your carb. is mostly gummed up or burning water. Buy can of spray gumout carb cleaner and follow the instructions on the can after you have dumped the gas in the tank, cleaned it out and refilled with fresh treated gas with fuel cleaner additive. It that don't work seek small engine DR. If that don't work probably time to attempt to clean the carb. But, usually if it will run the gas treatment and gumout routine usually works if the tank wasn't deluted with water?. |

(Updates euro, Italian bonds starting in sixth paragraph. For more on Europe's debt crisis, see EXT4.)
July 22 (Bloomberg) -- Euro-area leaders fanned out to persuade investors that last night's array of crisis-fighting measures can help stop the debt turmoil that's defied them for more than a year.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said government chiefs had learned from "systemic effects" in the single-currency area and widened the scope of their bailout fund to allow it to buy the bonds of debt-laden nations, support banks and offer credit lines. The agreement included new aid for Greece that embraced bondholders, prompting Fitch Ratings to say it will put a default rating on Greek debt.
The risk is that the package will follow the pattern of previous agreements and eventually disappoint markets. Leaders declined to increase the 440 billion euro ($632 billion) fund, prompting economists from Citigroup Inc. to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to question whether it's big enough to insulate Spain and Italy from contagion. The onus also remains on Greece and other cash-strapped nations to keep delivering austerity measures.
"The European Financial Stability Facility has gone from being a single-barreled gun to a Gatling gun, but with the same amount of ammo," Willem Buiter, chief economist at Citigroup Inc. told Bloomberg Television's "The Pulse." "It needs to be increased in size urgently."
Ballooning Deficit
(For a related story on bankers' agreement to participate in a Greek bond exchange, click here. To read a story on credit- default swaps and the rescue package, click here.)
The euro fell for the first time in four days against the dollar, slipping 0.5 percent to trade at $1.4360 as of 4:21 p.m. in London.
The yield on Italian 10-year bonds rose 6 basis points to 5.4 percent, while the yield on Spanish bonds of the same maturity increased 3 basis points to 5.76 percent.
Policy makers have fought a running battle to stamp out the crisis, which was sparked by Greece's ballooning budget deficit. They moved too slowly to defend Greece in early 2010, before agreeing a bailout in April of that year that wrongly assumed the country would borrow in markets as soon as 2012.
Leaders then set up a rescue fund which ran into opposition from national lawmakers and lacked the firepower initially assigned to it. Merkel reignited the turmoil in October by demanding investors help taxpayers cover the rescue costs, sparking a market rout that forced Portugal and Ireland to seek bailouts.
'Very Clear Awareness'
Government chiefs said this time will be different.
"Unfortunately, we've seen systemic effects in the euro area and now we've taken the necessary steps," Merkel said. "Now there is a very clear awareness of what the causes are. We know what we need to do."
Spanish Prime Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said the pact "should generate confidence and stability in the markets."
The agreement sparked a surge in Greek bonds even after it opened the door to a potential default through the involvement of private investors. The yield on Greek two-year debt plunged more than 600 basis points to 27.6 percent.
"The proposed debt exchange implies a 20 percent net present value loss for banks and other holders of Greek government debt," Fitch said today. "An exchange that offers new securities with terms that are worse than the original contractual terms of the existing debt and where the sovereign is subject to financial distress constitutes a default event."
'Expressly Voluntary'
The International Swaps & Derivatives Association, by contrast, said participation of private bondholders in the Greek rescue plan "should not trigger credit-default swaps" on the nation because it's "expressly voluntary."
Credit-default swaps on Greece plunged 500 basis points to a six-week low of 1,500 as of 12:15 p.m. in London, the biggest decline on record. That's down from an all-time high of 2,568 basis points on July 18 and signals a 72 percent chance the government will default within five years, a figure that approached 90 percent earlier this month.
Under the terms of last night's agreement, Greece was promised 159 billion euros of new aid with lower interest rates and longer repayment times. The euro region and International Monetary Fund will contribute 109 billion euros, with banks chipping in 50 billion euros through bond exchanges and buybacks.
'Significant Shift'
The decision to allow the EFSF to buy government bonds and offer IMF-style precautionary loans will protect the most indebted countries, said Andrew Bosomworth, a fund manager at Pacific Investment Management Co. in Munich.
"That is a significant shift, a significant change in tack from the policies taken up to now, and that puts an extra line of defense ahead of those countries from financial markets," said Bosomworth in an interview with Bloomberg TV.
The aid still leaves Greece under pressure to cut a debt of around 143 percent of gross domestic product and may only delay a restructuring of the burden by one or two years, said Paul Donovan, deputy head of global economics at UBS AG. The economy is contracting for a third year and fiscal consolidation policies have already triggered riots.
"This is fiddling around at the margins," said Donovan. "The debt needs to halve."
The European Central Bank helped pave the way to an agreement after softening its opposition to a default when governments pledged to guarantee Greek collateral in money market operations.
Possible Delay
The test may come should investors again challenge the ability of Europe to contain the crisis to Greece, Portugal and Ireland. National parliaments need to approve the fund's new powers, which could hold them up until September, said Laurent Bilke, an economist at Nomura International Plc.
That may force the ECB to reactivate the bond-buying program it suspended in April, he said. Once enabled, the fund can still only buy bonds if sponsoring states agree.
Economists at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc have argued the EFSF should be boosted to 2 trillion euros, while those at Bank of America Merrill Lynch say it would need to be increased by about 700 billion euros to comfortably cover the debt issuance of Italy and Spain until 2014.
"The size of the EFSF may need to be revisited in the future if its greater scope and deterrent function can be put to work in practice," said Francesco Garzarelli, chief interest rate strategist at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. "This tendency to 'under-size' otherwise good policy initiatives has been a recurrent feature of European policies."

Paul Tagliabue to hear appeals
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell appointed predecessor Paul Tagliabue to hear the appeals of four players suspended in the New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal.
Goodell said Friday he notified Jonathan Vilma, Will Smith, Scott Fujita and Anthony Hargrove, as well as the players' union, that Tagliabue would be the hearing officer to "decide the appeals and bring the matter to a prompt and fair conclusion."
"The commissioner's decision today makes it clear to us that he's finally been convinced there is no way he could ever have been a fair and neutral arbitrator.
" -- Peter Ginsberg, attorney For Jonathan Vilma
The union and the four players had asked Goodell to recuse himself, contending he could not fairly rule. Their second set of appeals will be heard Oct. 30.
"The commissioner's decision today makes it clear to us that he's finally been convinced there is no way he could ever have been a fair and neutral arbitrator," Vilma's attorney, Peter Ginsberg, told ESPN's Ed Werder. "Having said that, we need time to evaluate whether Commissioner Tagliabue -- as much as we respect the work he did for the NFL -- is an appropriate replacement given the fact Mr. Tagliabue works for the same law firm representing Mr. Goodell in both the challenge to the discipline, as well as Mr. Vilma's defamation lawsuit against Mr Goodell. We are also concerned the commissioner failed to follow CBA procedures regarding consulting with the union before making an appointment of this sort.''
Vilma was suspended for the 2012 season and Smith was banned four games for their roles in the bounty program. Fujita, now with the Browns, was barred three games, since reduced to one. Hargrove is a free agent whose suspension was reduced from eight games to seven.
"I have held two hearings to date and have modified the discipline in several respects based on my recent meetings with the players," Goodell said. "I will have no role in the upcoming hearings or in Mr. Tagliabue's decisions.
"Paul Tagliabue is a genuine football authority whose tenure as commissioner was marked by his thorough and judicious approach to all matters. He has many years of experience in NFL collective bargaining matters and an impeccable reputation for integrity."
Tagliabue was NFL commissioner from 1989-2006 and is a lawyer. For part of that time, Goodell was the league's general counsel.
ESPN Radio
Mike Tirico, Chris Mortensen and Keyshawn Johnson discuss NFL commissioner Roger Goodell appointing predecessor Paul Tagliabue to hear the Saints' appeals.
Goodell said he consulted with NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith before asking Tagliabue to hear these appeals. The collective bargaining agreement with the union that was reached to end the lockout in August 2011 gave Goodell exclusive authority to hear appeals of discipline for conduct detrimental or to appoint someone to hear and decide an appeal.
Goodell periodically has appointed others to hear appeals for club fines, personal conduct suspensions and for matters concerning drug and steroid policy.
"To be clear, I have not consulted with Paul Tagliabue at any point about the Saints matter, nor has he been any part of the process," Goodell said. "Furthermore, under our process the hearing officer has full authority and complete independence to decide the appeal and determine any procedural issues regarding the hearings."
Goodell handed down the suspensions in May, and they took effect in July after initial appeals were rejected by Goodell. Those suspensions lasted through training camp before being vacated by a three-member appeals panel that instructed Goodell to start the disciplinary process again and clarify his reasons for suspending the players.
Saints Bounty Scandal
An NFL investigation found the New Orleans Saints operated a bounty system that rewarded 22 to 27 players for hard hits and for injuring opposing players. Profile »
The suspensions were reissued by the NFL last week and promptly appealed by all four players. None of the suspensions is currently in effect because each was appealed within the framework of the NFL's labor agreement.
But all four players have asked U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan to throw out Goodell's disciplinary rulings on the grounds he has demonstrated bias against the players in his handling the bounty investigation. The players say Goodell violated due process rights.
In a recent court filing, the union said: "It is only a neutral (arbitrator) of unquestioned integrity who can restore public confidence in this process and mitigate the damage which the NFL's handling of `bounty-gate' has inflicted upon the game."
Vilma also has filed a defamation lawsuit against Goodell.

I dont think so its an okay game if you ask me but your choice but try it out .
I just picked this game up from Futureshop today and I'm currently installing it, which is taking way too long then most games
Lets face it, the game comes on 2 dvd's and takes 32 gigs to install, and the System Requirements are a bit out there.
click to show spoiler
Hopefully the game is worth the 50 bucks I spent on it. least I got a friend at work who will play with me
I will edit this with my Characters name and what Server I play on.
Anyone else get it, if so, whats your opinions on it?
I dont think so its an okay game if you ask me but your choice but try it out .
Lets put it this way, my pc is barely a year old and i have some pretty expensive gear in there. And yet i still cant run that game at high settings using my monitors default resolution (22"=1650x1080) Buttuh an amd athlon 3200? thats like a single core right? a 4yold cpu? :P might wanna get a cheap upgrade for this game, you cant rly expect that kind of processor to run the game decently. The devs already confirmed they will do some performance tweaking in the future tho, atm the textures caching ingame is really slow and allot of people are having problems with this.
Other then that its a great game =) the first 20lvls of singleplayer itself made it worth buying. You can play that part with each class available and get variations in the storyline etc.
Can't rly say much about the mmo-aspect yet as im just getting started. (lvl 33 now)
Im on Soulstorm-PvP, dont hesitate to give me a pm for help if you end up on the same server.
ps: theres 1.4 gb of patches to download aswell!
Game runs fine with 30fps on high with shader model 2.x @ 1280x1024 (I hget half the frame rate if I play it with the 3.0 shader model, and I'm waiting to see what the DirectX 10 with shader model 4.0 looks like).
The only new component in my computer thats recent is my video card, which is an 8500gt, which oddly enough its a 256mb card, but Windows reports it as 1 gig (Must be pulling off the MoBo's on board video memory and sharing a bit of the ram). Even though the Proc is a little old and a single core, It still can play the newest games, although not at high end settings.
And asking your computer to pump out 1650x1080 is a pretty high requirement, you need one of the higher end Geforce cards (8800 or higher) to pull that off.
The game is pretty decent though, interesting game mechanics, bit glitchy though.
I play the character Halee on the Damballah-PVE server.
yeah i have a XFX 8800 GTS 640mb Oc, thats why i was so suprised =P
And i just figured out that the first actual group instance is at lvl 37, Sanctum of the Burning Souls. Which means 21 to 37 is basicly a grind. Which makes me wonder why some of the solo instances were put in since they hardly contain 2 or 3 quests, let allone a decent bossdrop. Decent xp sure, but a bit boring compared to the interactive quests from before. It seems to get a bit better around 40, i find myself grouping allot more now.

It's possible to farm WEP without DLC btw. It's just a bit longer because you spawn at the start of the level after save and quit. But if you have good lv61 gear and the right build you can just run through the level and avoid enemies pretty easily (AI is kinda dumb if enemy doesn't have a gun + they attack each other since there's different species like robots, skags, stalkers and rakks). --- No game is perfect.

Im running a Thoughtlock/Ruin build with my Siren, and having to farm from the beginning. Using a 94% sham, and then a Bee for the actual fighting. At the beginning, just run, and do a few jumps if any of the dots are close on your minimap. Mordecai usually distracts the stalkers pretty well. In the next area, The sham will absorb bullets from the Hyperion guys, remember to keep jumping to throw off the surveyor shield killer blasts. Once you top the stairs and jump down into the skag den, switch to the bee as the sham wont help you anymore. Just run past the enemies, and if you have to, thoughtlock any that you cant shake. This will buy you time to get away. You will find that the less enemies you kill, the less enemies you will find spawned ahead of you. This is huge. If even one guy dies outside that first gate, usually you have 2-3 loaders to run past on the docks. If you can just run past, the way is normally clear and you just have to dodge surveyor blasts. Once you reach where the Creature Slaughterdome is, prepare for a fight. Youll be taking on both Stalkers and Loaders, including 1 ultimate badass version of each. Im using the level 50 practicable slow hands in the form of Fire for the Stalkers, and Corrosive for the loaders. Thoughtlock and ruin creates an aggro dump as well as mass slag, and you just open up on them. If my health is good, and my shield is up, Ill switch over to the level 58 version of a Corrosive Gwen's Head pistol I picked up from the dust. That thing just obliterates Loaders and Buzzards in an instant. Anyone unfamiliar with this, this gun will ALWAYS spawn somewhere in the dust, you just need the right variant to pop for you. I usually find mine in the box just inside Ellie's Garage on the floor to the right. If it isnt there, I usually just save/quit until it appears there. It can also appear in the small shack below the Buzzards Roost, and behind the New U station by the entrance to Lynchwood. If youre fast, you can thoughtlock the UBA Loader as he comes out, and slip inside the doors before they close and avoid having to kill it. Make sure you dont enter the area where Bloodwing was held. If you do that, then the holding cells are no longer locked, and youll have to deal with multiple skags and stalkers, including 2 UBA variants of Skag. Usually at least one shock which sucks. So dont go in there. Just hit the boxes, slaughter the midgets, and hope for the best. |

The Pepsi Center
Attendance: None
Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Chauncey Billups poured in 26 points to go along with eight assists, and Kenyon Martin buried an unexpected three with 29.6 seconds left in overtime, as Denver overcame Phoenix, 119-113.
Martin added 24 points and eight rebounds, while Nene notched 17 points and 14 rebounds for Denver. Linas Kleiza donated 18 points and J.R. Smith totaled 19 points, seven assists and five rebounds for the Nuggets, who won for the seventh time in eight games, improving to 16-5 as the host this season.
Grant Hill posted a team-high 25 points and grabbed eight rebounds for the Suns, while Steve Nash filled the scorebook with 20 points, 14 assists and seven rebounds. Amare Stoudemire added 21 points and eight rebounds for Phoenix, which saw its three-game winning streak come to an end with Shaquille O'Neal, who rarely plays in back-to-back games, on the bench in street clothes.
The fourth quarter was indicative of the close contest. Hill's reverse layup and subsequent free throw posted the Suns to a 101-98 edge with under 2 1/2 minutes to play. Nene's slam on the other end trimmed the deficit to one point, but Hill responded with another lay-in.
Smith's long three with 1:23 to go tied the contest at 103-103, and neither team mustered a bucket the rest of the way. Hill had the ball in his hands in the closing seconds and he drove to plenty of contact in the lane, including from Denver's Dahntay Jones, but no whistle was blown and time expired.
"Went to the middle, and he stuck his leg out and tripped me," Hill said of Jones. "Lost my balance. I kind of ran into Nene at the same time. So, it was pretty obvious that there was something there. I guess officials were scared to make that call."
Denver never trailed in the extra session, as Phoenix missed countless good looks. Billups' three-point play two minutes in gave the Nuggets a 110-105 lead, but Phoenix did claw back to within 112-109 with 52.4 seconds left on a pair of Stoudemire free throws.
Martin then stepped out to unfamiliar territory, burying an uncovered three with 29.6 seconds remaining to put the game on ice at 115-109.
"I think we were just aggressive, man, both ends," Billups said of the Nuggets' overtime performance. "Had we been that aggressive in the fourth quarter, we probably don't go to overtime. But you live and you learn."
Phoenix held a 35-26 edge after the first period, but Denver whittled that deficit down in the second stanza.
A Jared Dudley jumper propelled the Suns to a 42-29 lead, but the Nuggets slowly worked their way back into the contest. Kleiza capped a six-point burst with a slam dunk to make it 42-35. Hill's tip-in pushed the Phoenix edge to 53-39, but the Nuggets reeled off 11 in a row to draw within one possession.
Phoenix led 62-56 at the half.

Is Your College on the "Veg-Friendly" List?
Those overeducated academics over at peta2 have just released their annual list of the top 40 vegetarian-friendly colleges in the United States, so if you want to show a little love for your alma mater or your hometown school, you can cast your vote here. The school with the best vegetarian options will be announced in the second week of November, so there's still a bit of time to vote. The contest has already been getting some good press in college newspapers across the country, including this piece in Yale's newsletter, and this little vignette from ASU.
My school a) didn't have a cafeteria to speak of, and b) wasn't in the U.S., so I went ahead and voted for Berkeley—because Berkeley is beautiful, and they have vegan chicken nuggets. You can vote for your favorite here.

I can personally vouch for the vegan options at Smith having dined there during Family Weekend at NorthropGillett the vegetarian house. Other houses also have veggie options every night. You can check out their daily menu online at httpwww.smith.edudiningservicesmenus.php.
Jean See it's a balance of food choices that is ideal not just all meat or all vegan. But good that your university has a balanced menu.

I like cake. Though the cake is a lie. from Portal
Northwestern all the way! How could you argue with VEGAN PANCAKES?!

OK. I'm doing my own cake for this weekend. Here's the pic again. I've baked my tiers (14, 12, 10 and 8 ) and they're in the freezer. I'm making the flowers today. I've ordered the cakesafe because of travel time of 5 hours. I have my dummies ( 10, 8 and 6) and just wrapped them in ribbon. But.....as I was just working on all of it, i realized I have a problem. I planned to use the SPS system but my dummies underneath the 12, 10 and 8 inch layers will not allow the use of the sps as the leg placement on the sps plates is too widespread for the diameter of the dummy.If I attempted to use the sps, my sps legs would be on the outside of the dummy. Make sense? It's too late to order more dummies so can someone send me some tips on stacking this headache? LOL
No reviews yet.

Section: Linux Programmer's Manual (3)Updated: 2007-07-26
Index Return to Main Contents
profil - execution time profileSYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>int profil(unsigned short *buf, size_t bufsiz, size_t offset, unsigned int scale);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
profil(): _BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)
This routine provides a means to find out in what areas your program spends most of its time. The argument buf points to bufsiz bytes of core. Every virtual 10 milliseconds, the user's program counter (PC) is examined: offset is subtracted and the result is multiplied by scale and divided by 65536. If the resulting value is less than bufsiz, then the corresponding entry in buf is incremented. If buf is NULL, profiling is disabled.RETURN VALUE
Zero is always returned.CONFORMING TO
Similar to a call in SVr4 (but not POSIX.1-2001).BUGS
profil() cannot be used on a program that also uses ITIMER_PROF interval timers (see setitimer(2)).True kernel profiling provides more accurate results. Libc 4.4 contained a kernel patch providing a system call profil.
gprof(1), setitimer(2), sigaction(2), signal(2)COLOPHON
This page is part of release 3.21 of the Linux man-pages project. A description of the project, and information about reporting bugs, can be found at http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/.

Having a strong federal Species at Risk Act is essential to protect our most vulnerable plants and animals, and the habitat they need to survive and recover on federal lands. It also enables the federal government to step in where needed to protect species at risk on provincial and territorial lands, acting as a critical safety net for endangered species, regardless of where they live in Canada.
Over 650 species are at risk of disappearing forever. Speak up now for a strong federal Species at Risk Act!
