- Fast application performance means immediate access to actionable information
- Agile system design provides the ability to upgrade processor and memory technology to the next generation,1 reducing acquisition costs by as much as 28 percent2
- Resilient platforms maximise application uptime and promote easy integration in virtual environments.
Today, mission-critical applications are being called upon to do more as businesses expand access through new mobile and cloud deployments. Delivering the right answer at the right time means having ready access to actionable information. IT solutions must be able to easily scale performance, manage large masses of data and reliably make information available in real-time.
While the volume of data and transactions continues to grow exponentially, businesses remain constrained by a finite set of capital and operational resources. The new IBM® System x3850 X6 incorporates the sixth generation of IBM enterprise X-Architecture (EXA) to help deliver better, more efficient business results.
X6 platforms can produce 100 percent faster compute performance than previous-generation systems.3 The X6 portfolio increases virtualisation density and decreases infrastructure costs and complexity. This enables you to design faster analytics engines, rein in IT sprawl and deliver information with high reliability. X6 servers are fast, agile and resilient.

1 When a newer generation of processor and memory technology becomes available, Compute Books can be replaced with newer ones. (All Compute Books must use matching technology.)
2 Up to 28 percent savings in acquisition cost is based on a comparison of an x3850 X6 (using the modular design) vs. a traditional rack design with no modularity. Based on projected Q1 2014 pricing of x3850 X6 configuration with 2 Compute Books, Storage Book with 1.2TB SAS, dual 1400W power supplies, 10GbE SFP+ networking, and no optional I/O Books.
3 100 percent performance improvement is based on preliminary results of SPECint*_rate_base2006, SPECfp*_rate_base2006, and TPC-E benchmarks, plus performance gains from eXFlash DIMM storage. SPEC and TPC benchmark results will be available at www.spec.org and www.tpc.org , respectively, after 2/18/14. Configurations: 4-socket x3850 X6 server using Intel Xeon processor E7-4890 v2 vs. 4-socket server using the previous top-of-the-line E7-4870 (v1).

Burlington Denim and IGP Launch Joint Venture
GREENSBORO, N.C., Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Burlington Industries, Inc. (NYSE: BUR) announced today that it has signed a letter of intent with International Garment Processors (IGP) for a 50/50 joint venture to build and operate a garment processing facility for denim jeans in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico. The facility will enhance Burlington's ability to offer its customers a full package of quality garment-making services.The processing facility, like IGP's plant in El Paso, will offer stonewashing, enzyme washing and sand blasting. It will then press, label and package the jeans for shipment as designated by customers.
Burlington Global Denim is a leading manufacturer of denim fabrics. Addition of the new jeans processing facility will add a critical component to the package of garment services Burlington offers. "Our customers do a great job of creating fashion appeal in jeans -- and to do that, they have to start with a great fabric on one end and the right kind of washing and finishing techniques on the other," said Dutch Leonard, President of Burlington Global Denim. "By controlling quality on both ends of the cycle we'll be able to give our customers superior products and service."
The new facility will also complement Burlington's new denim fabric plant now under construction in the State of Morelos, Mexico. Both plants are expected to begin production in l999.
Burlington Global Denim operates five plants in the United States and one joint venture plant in India. It is a division of Burlington Industries, Inc., one of the world's largest and most diversified manufacturers of textile products for apparel and interior furnishings.
IGP, headquartered in El Paso, is one of the largest, most modern denim garment processing firms in the United States. Owned and managed by J. Cesar Viramontes, IGP has served the jeans industry since 1974. IGP will provide the expertise to design, build and manage the new facility, which will employ approximately 700 people when fully operational.

For Joel Kim Booster, finding a place for the queer and queer-friendly community to perform stand-up was important.
"There are plenty of gay-themed shows in New York City but most take place in gay bars," Booster said. "These venues do play an important role, but I don't want to just do comedy in the back of a gay bar."
He also didn't want to have to travel to Hell's Kitchen or the Lower East Side just to perform at one of these shows either.
So, Booster turned his sights on the Laughing Devil in Long Island City to create his own show for the queer community.
"They had been looking for some new programming that was different from the general showcases they do," he said. "I had thought a lot about putting up a show where the majority of the lineup had a lot of queer voices in it, so I pitched it."
"BRUCE: The Best Queer and Queer Friendly Comedy Show in Queens," is exactly what it sounds like, a place for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and supporters to come together and laugh.
"There aren't a lot of gay amenities in Queens," Booster said. "There are a few places that have a monthly event but there aren't really any venues in Long Island City for the LGBT community."
Though the show is about bringing the queer community together, Booster said he isn't about alienating anyone.
"The bottom line is, everyone performing is funny," he said. "I wasn't specifically looking for comedians who were all gay or had a joke that touches on the LGBT community. I was looking for a voice that would appeal to our community and the straight community.
"I just didn't want a show where the punchline is 'Isn't it funny the person is gay?'"
The show, hosted by Booster, will feature several gay and straight performers alike.
The Brooklyn resident hopes the event will become a monthly regular at the Laughing Devil.
Booster does acknowledge the difficulties that came with starting a new, niche show in New York City last month.
"It's a tough sell and a little hard to promote to the right audience," Booster said. "We don't want to scare anyone away but I wanted to put out there what the show is going to be."
Booster anticipates a much larger crowd at this month's show.
"They best thing would be to see people in seats, laughing, that's what I'm hoping for."

nope, i made it at least 5 times, sleeveless every time (i kind of love my dresses sleeveless, even in the middle of winter (i'm wearing one right now, with cardigan of course, and it's snowing outside).. but if i would ad sleeves, some other burda pattern would be great – this one or maybe this one

Caos, kako napreduje haljina? Ako nisi jos uvek pocela da je sijes, budi na oprezu – prilicno je velika u obimu (posebno na kukovima – a ja imam bas siroke kukove!), a rukavi su tesni. Nesto nije u redu sa tim krojem, morala sam bas dosta da ga suzim. U svakom slucaju, hvala na komentaru! Da li planiras da izlazes na Modi za poneti u Decembru? Planirala sam da svratim, pa bi bilo super da se upoznamo.

major problem was sediment, which accounted for 47 percent of the nonpoint source pollutants in affected river waters.
Practices associated with forestry and farming not only increase the introduction of pollutants into streams, but also alter the physical structure and function of river-riparian ecosystems, as discussed in the sections below on overgrazing and on drainage and channelization.
The American Fisheries Society recently issued a position statement on the effects of livestock grazing on riparian and stream ecosystems (Armour et al., 1991) from which this summary is largely taken. Overgrazing of livestock in riparian areas is a major problem. Grazing is permitted on 91 percent of the federal land in the 11 contiguous western states, where federal land constitutes 48 percent of the total land area. Thirty-two percent of the land is private rangeland. The best information on the relationship between grazing and stream degradation apparently is available for land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), but the trends are probably similar for Forest Service and private lands. Fifty-eight percent of the 150 million acres of BLM rangeland is in fair to poor condition, and 19,000 miles of sport fishing streams, 100 million acres of small game and nongame habitat, and 52 million acres of big game habitat have declined in quality as a result of land use practices, including overgrazing.
Armour et al. (1991) point out that because riparian environments are lumped into much broader terrestrial classifications (e.g., ''rangeland," as in McElroy et al., 1975, classification), they become unidentifiable for land management purposes, and the problem is probably worse than the above figures indicate. For example, rangeland that is in fair to poor condition probably has river-riparian ecosystems that are in much worse condition because livestock (and wildlife) spend much more time and graze more heavily in the well-watered riparian area.
Overgrazing by livestock can eliminate streamside vegetation directly, or indirectly as a result of caving and trampling of banks, which can lead to channel widening, channel aggradation, lowering of the water table, and decline in water quality downstream because of turbidity, sedimentation, and animal waste. The water may become too turbid, warm, and shallow and the substrate too choked with fine sediment to support native fish and their food base.
Overgrazing on federal land might be reduced if it were not subsidized. The General Accounting Office (U.S. GAO, 1988) reported that the BLM recovered only about 37 percent of the cost of providing grazing on federal land and that the Forest Service recovered only

This hotel has a excelente location in London, aand despite the simple accommodation and the lack of elevator, it's clean and confortable. I liked the breakfast and the staff area heplful. If you want a cheap but honest and well-placed hotel in London, think about The George.
Helen made me feel at home, nice people, friendly. safe place and convenient location to see and enjoy London.
We have just spent 3 nights at Andy's excellent apartment during a weekend visit to London. The apartment is situated in a quiet street, close to the London Underground, Water Bus and local bus routes. If you prefer walking, it's just a pleasant stroll along the Thames path to most major attractions. The apartment was very clean and tidy with all amenities. The king size bed was very comfortable, warm and cosy. The lounge and kitchen had all the neccessaties that you would require for your stay, including wifi. Finally, Andy cooked us a lovely breakfast each morning and was very friendly and helpful duration of our stay. We look forwards to coming back again.
Ambiente molto accogliente, pulito e carino, situato in una zona carina e molto tranquilla, vicinissimo alla metro di Wimbledon Park, proprietari molto gentili,premurosi e riservati. Buona e abbondante colazione, bagno discreto riservato e pulito. Siamo stati in 2 adulti e un bambino. Molto contenti della scelta fatta.
What a fantastic gem! My husband and I spent 10 nights at Bonnington Square B&B We chose it based on the location/reviews and it didn't disappoint!! Easy access to the tube/rail, food stores and the Southbank to name a few amenities. Andy is a brilliant host, great cook, extremely helpful with ideas and directions plus very accommodating as we did not arrive until after midnight. I might add that the bed is very comfy and the duvet is divine! So if you love getting in the vibe of what London offers but want to live like a local and away from the touristy areas then this is the place! It is much more personal and a better value than a hotel. We can't wait to return!!

I am French and I spent 4 nights at Helena's with my family. Without any hesitation I recommend her house which was clean and the beds very comfortable. Before arriving Helena answered all my numerous questions either by phone or emails. Then she was very helpful with the transport (buses numbers or trains) and always in a good mood. I cannot forget to mention the amazing breakfast with lots of choices : different cereals and toast, croissants and pains au chocolat, many different jams, cold meat, an excellent fruit salad and all the drinks you need. We had a very good stay !
We really enjoyed our recent stay with Andy, who is a kind and considerate host. The apartment provided us with more facilities than we needed, the neighborhood is completely unexpected, with palm and fig trees flourishing in a tranquil street - in the middle of London. The location is excellent, the bed wonderful, price-value unbeatable. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and hope to return soon.
My wife and I were looking for a central location to stay in for a weekend that was close to amenities and the Tube and Bonnington Square has both of that. Very short(5 minutes or less) walk to the Vauxhall station and very close to central London. The apartment is on the ground floor so it is very beneficial for anyone who has extra bags or luggages, which we did. Just walk in and drop the luggages. Very easy and convenient. Besides the apartment being just what we needed, Andy is a great host. Very helpful and willing to help with anything regarding the city. Thanks for allowing us to use the Oyster card by the way. Made a wonderful breakfast for us also. Overall, a great place for two people looking for an oasis in London and near the major amenities.
Very quiet and clean place. Perfect to rest after a busy and noisy day in London. The house is full of paintings to share an artistic atmosphere. The breakfast is a self-serve one, so you can eat whatever a continental breakfast provides you and near the kitchen, there's a typical English garden open until 11 am. The kitchen (during the breakfast) is also the room where you can meet other people, from all around the world. The host is gentle and discrete.
If you want a quiet, home -from -home in london just over the river from noisy Victoria,then the Bonnington Suare B and B is the perfect place.It's situated in a serenely quiet suare, full of plants and gardens yet only five minutes walk from the Underground and buses.Ten minutes and you're in central London.Everything is very clean and comfortable,especially the bed and noiseless nights! Andy is a great host,always helpful to our needs.The cooked English breakfast sets you up for the day! The acid test is that we'll have no hesitation whatsoever in returning to Bonnington Square.terrific value for money.
I stayed here for six days and everything was really great! Pedro was very kind and friendly. the place is very clean and comfortable, in a very good location.
I write this review with a smile on my face because my husband and I had the best time at the Parkwood at Marble Arch B&B! We had the best time walking and riding through London and then being able to come "home" to our room where we slept wonderfully and woke up to the most delicious breakfast served by the sweetest staff. The girls were so delightful as they made sure we received the best service and our food was made just right! The location of the place is stellar as you are walking distance from the metro and shopping areas. Hyde park is right across the street which made for a lovely daily stroll. Gail is the most lovely woman, she has the most infectious smile and seeing her every morning was the perfect way to begin our day! her goal is to make our stay comfortable and she does just that. You can see that the staff enjoy working with her because everyone is smiling and happy. Such a pleasure to be around. Thank you Gail for your fantastic hospitality and we look forward to coming back!!
2 nights in august 2014, room, kitchen and office and bathrom are really clean and practical. Great english breakfast, cooked with fresh products, in front of you. We are in full green, lot of exotics plants in the small garden, it's very nice and beautiful. Vauxhall is quiet and very close from bus and tube. Andy is very very helpfull, and give good advices if we need it. We will come back !
perfect location for visiting the concert in Hyde Park, staff very friendly, breakfast outstanding, room good, would stay again.
A 2003 stay, then another 2012 stay. Friendly clean, and great location and price. Today.. just looking at this BnB for the heck of it. We'll be back
eine freundliche und sehr hilfreiche Gastgeberin (z.B falls sie ihren Regenschirm vergessen haben nach GB mitzubringen oder ihr WiFi benutzen möchten). Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig und man schläft super. Das Frühstück ist enorm reichhaltig und zum Bus sind es nicht mal 5 Minuten. Ich war 6 Nächte da und werde und werde wiederholen.
Parkwood Hotel is a lovely B & B situated in the perfect location within easy walking distance to Hyde Park, Oxford Street, many restaurants and Marble Arch subway station. The staff are very helpful and a lovely breakfast is served everyday (including a choice of eggs, bacon, toast, cereal, fruit juices, yoghurt, tea and coffee). We stayed in Room 15, which is located on the top floor up about 5 flights of stairs. We enjoyed this room, however ask if a room on a lower floor if you don't enjoy climbing stairs! We would definitely stay here again. Fantastic value, great location and excellent service!
Helena's is a lovely place to stay. Clean room with comfortable bed, large continental breakfast with fresh fruit and above all a very friendly and helpful host. Great value and conveniently located close to transport links (tube, train and bus).
We had a room for 3 with private bathroom. We are very pleased by our stay, - located 1 minute walk from Hyde Park - very nice building - room quiet and silent. No noise from outside (we were located backyard with feeling being in countryside) - Beds and pillows extremely confortable (I want the same at home !) - Room very clean. - Breakfast food: good and copious - Staff: efficient, well-organised, smiling and helpful (reception, breakfast, room clean-up service)
Helena's place is MY FIRST ADDRESS when it comes to a stay in London. The service and the breakfast are outstanding and the rooms are very clean and appointed personally. Whenever I visit London with my family and friends I choose this neat place and just feel... AT HOME.
Very good beds, good shower and excellent breakfast! Close to busstops to London.
I recommend this bed and breakfast because it is well value. The rooms are nice, very clean and the bathroom too. Sohel and Anne are very friendly. It is well connected with the center. If I were I would not hesitate to book here again.
Mi esposo y yo nos quedamos casi una semana en el B&B de Helena en la última semana de marzo 2014. Fue muy agradable la estadía ahí. El desayuno grande y delicioso. La zona muy accesible a transporte público (bus, metro) y multicultural pero la casa de Helena muy tranquila y Helena y su hija muy amables. Me sentí como en casa. Me volvería a quedar aquí al retornar a Londres.
Nous sommes resté une semaine dans cette charmante maison, le quartier est cosmopolite et acceuillant! Merci encore a Helena dont les petits dejeuners et l'accueil sont géniaux! Chambre et salle de bain propres, bon rapport qualité prix ainsi qu'une station de bus juste a côté
A 4 star bed and breakfast. Very clean and tidy. Anna was excellent and contributed to the overall impression of our family trip to London. I have already recommended to friends that are looking quality within budget.
les propriétaires Bernadette et Antoni sont très sympathiques, accueillants, ambiance familiale et conviviale. Situé à deux pas de la station métro Wimbledon Park. Londres centre très accessible.
This is absolutely the worst hotel I have ever stayed in in my life, and I've stayed in some pretty bad ones. Even after I have paid the full charge of three nights, for two rooms, I have considered changing to another hotel after one night, because it was so unbearably terrible. They didn't provide bottled water, and there is no kettle in the room for us to boil water. The rooms and the quilts are very dirty. The mattresses are worn very thin; once you lie down it dips and you cannot move without great difficulty. In one room, the toilet is so small that it resembles the washroom in a plane, with a narrow strip of showering space that is impossible to move around in. When showering, the whole bathroom will be wet. The lock to my room is not in good condition; when I returned to the hotel after they had tidied up the room, the door was no properly locked and I could enter without a key, meaning that anyone could have gotten in and taken my stuff. There is no heating in the rooms, only a portable heater and a bar heater on the wall. The bar heater is broken, although we turned it on it does not emit heat. The portable heater is placed very close to the beds due to limited space. The heater is very old and, afraid that the quilts would catch fire, I turned it off and had to spend the night without any heating. In the breakfast room, they only had 4 tables, and 20 seats in total. This is far less than the number of guests the hotel can house, so we had to queue for breakfast seats. There is little variety in the breakfast, only burned toast, tasteless butter and jam, and lukewarm coffee and tea. The breakfast room is already the most satisfactory aspect of the hotel. I will never book this hotel again.
Sono stato ad Agosto da Pedro che effettivamente ti fa sentire come se tu fossi a casa. le stanze (ovviamente) non so grandi ma sufficienti per fare una ottima dormita. Il bagno è in comune (ce ne sono 2 per 4 camere). L'unica pecca è che si è lontani dal centro, ma questo non è un problema perchè passa lì vicino un bus che porta alla stazione metro Elephant & Castle
This is a wonderful little hotel in a great location. I´ve visited several times, and I´ve never been disappointed. Fantastic and friendly staff. Christine Mohr, Denmark
Affascinante, eclettica e cosmopolita, Londra è forse la città che, insieme a Parigi, meglio rappresenta l'identità policroma dell'Europa del terzo millennio. Ricca di testimonianze storiche, di tradizioni e di folclore, nello stesso tempo si dimostra innovativa e in continua evoluzione, culturalmente vivace grazie alla policromia etnica dalla quale è popolata.
La grandezza e la complessità di Londra richiede una soggiorno di almeno una settimana, per poter avere almeno il tempo di visitare i luoghi più celebri della città. Scegliere un Bed & Breakfast in uno dei quartieri di Londra è il sistema migliore per immergersi nell'atmosfera vivace e coinvolgente di questa città.
Con cinque aeroporti, la più grande piazza borsistica del mondo e il più antico sistema di ferrovia sotterranea, Londra, per la sua posizione privilegiata è divenuta nel corso della storia la meta principale dei flussi migratori. È la città più popolata in assoluto, e anche la più visitata dai turisti, oltre che sede di teatri, musei e monumenti e di quattro patrimoni dell'umanità.
Londra è una sorpresa senza paragoni, un infinito succedersi di meraviglie da scoprire giorno per giorno. Solo per ricordarne qualcuno, la National Gallery, con i capolavori dei più grandi artisti di tutto il mondo, il British Museum, con le collezioni d'arte di ogni epoca, la Torre di Londra, uno degli edifici fortificati più famosi del mondo, la Tate Gallery con le opere e le installazioni d'arte moderna e contemporanea, il Victoria e Albert Museum, dedicato all'arte e al design di tutto il mondo, il National Maritime Museum, uno dei più grandi musei navali. Inoltre, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens e gli altri parchi reali, le dimore storiche, i negozi per lo shopping più trendy, il musical e il teatro.
Oltre alla notte di Capodanno e alle luci di Natale, Londra offre ai visitatori un ricchissimo calendario di eventi in ogni mese dell'anno in grado di soddisfare qualsiasi desiderio e preferenza: le stagioni del teatro e del musical, i concerti, i balletti, il Carnevale, i grandi eventi sportivi, dal tennis di Wimbledon all'ippica, i grandi protagonisti del rock in Hyde Park.
Per i golosi, Londra è un vero paradiso: dal breakfast tradizionale inglese, al tè pomeridiano, alle serate nei pub, ogni ora è quella giusta per assaggiare pietanze sfiziose e insolite. La cucina tradizionale inglese propone roast beef, verdure, frittura di pesce, carni affumicate, dolci, creme e budini, ai quali si affiancano i piatti della cucina internazionale.
Il clima tipico non è dei migliori, anche se il cielo nuvoloso e la pioggia regalano alla città la sua atmosfera affascinante e letteraria. Ovviamente non mancano le belle giornate, ma è meglio premunirsi contro il freddo, l'umidità e la pioggia frequente.

Why are we going through this yet again? Much happened in Iraq with weapons inspectors and IAEA actions from when those quotes were made by President Clinton and the time of lies perpetuated by the Bush Administration as a rationale for invading Iraq. The Bush Administration was not relying on intelligence from the 1990s - they were paying good money to the Iraqi National Congress and Chalabi for fresh - and false - intelligence. Not to mention the "sexed-up" intelligence revealed by the British memos, and so much more, showing that the war was knowingly started on false charges. And then there was the testimony of El-Baradei and others against the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal's charges of WMDs. This must the third time this attempted exculpation of the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld hawks has been introduced in this forum. |
Good way to push they republican follies off the page |
Not taking any blame away from Bush nancy. Just think the dems need to own up to their fair share. |

Again - much transpired between the time President Clinton made his statements and when the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal made theirs. See above. There is no equivalency between the two situations no matter how hard some GOPers try to rewrite history. BUSH AND CHENEY IGNORED WARNINGS THAT THERE WERE NO WMDs IN IRAQ IN ORDER TO START THEIR WAR. A perfect act of contrition may not be enough to save them from everlasting damnation. |

Well, somewhat. Mommy was cutting down the bamboo stalks this morning and Cammie and I watched her. After a few minutes, Cammie got mad at me and hissed.

Well, Mommy appointed me as babysitter of Merl because Bail had his cat show today.

I'm on Mommy's lap again and purring and kneading and drooling and occasionally slurping her hair with my tongue. I'm extra happy because I would like a nice slurpy lick of her bowl of ice cream, but she told me it has chocolate chunks in it and cats can't have chocolate.

Breeeep! Merlin has been extra playful and even chases me, the old man around. He crawled under the dresser drawer while I was laying on the floor near it and he high-fived me a few times. Later, Mommy got out one of our feathers on a stick and had us both dancing to a Lindisfarne song. |

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
44 That same day men were appointed to be responsible for the storerooms for the offerings, the firstfruits, and the tithes. They saw to it that the portion directed by The Revelation for the priests and Levites was brought in from the farms connected to the towns. Judah was so appreciative of the priests and Levites and their service; | 44 At that time men were appointed to be in charge of the storerooms for the contributions, firstfruits and tithes. From the fields around the towns they were to bring into the storerooms the portions required by the Law for the priests and the Levites, for Judah was pleased with the ministering priests and Levites. |
45 they, along with the singers and security guards, had done everything so well, conducted the worship of their God and the ritual of ceremonial cleansing in a way that would have made David and his son Solomon proud. | 45 They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, as did also the singers and gatekeepers, according to the commands of David and his son Solomon. |
46 That's the way it was done in the olden days, the days of David and Asaph, when they had choir directors for singing songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. | 46 For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there had been directors for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. |
47 During the time of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily allowances for the singers and security guards. They also set aside what was dedicated to the Levites, and the Levites did the same for the Aaronites. | 47 So in the days of Zerubbabel and of Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the singers and gatekeepers. They also set aside the portion for the other Levites, and the Levites set aside the portion for the descendants of Aaron. |

This photo was taken during sunset, it was around -5 + the wind chill factor, bloody cold!. We spent about an hour at this location waiting for people to come and go so as to make the jetty free to photograph without all the clutter. I used the 6 stop B+W filter to shorten the exposure length so the wait time did not exceed the dark hours. I decided to keep the sun out of the photo due to 2 reasons, 1 lens flare and 2 composition would have pushed it too far to the right of the frame (we arrived a little late in the day )

Great shot and well done for getting out and taking the shot in such conditions. Well composed and fabulous colour. The light from the right hand side is a little distracting, but does not compromise a wonderful photo.

NYC builds his brand immensely, and given that his playing career could be over in a couple years, why not make the most of this time and be king of the Big Apple for a few years? I think he made the right choice, he will be an icon for years to come by going to NYC over anywhere else.
He's definitely overrated, but I don't think he cares one bit. He will continue to do his thing as well as he can, but he's making millions more outside of the NFL because he's in NYC.
You could well be right but I believe he passed on Jax which might have been a mistake - not saying it would definetley have worked out but the potential was there for it to have been a good move for both the Jags (who havent exactly had much to be excited about) and Tebow. Being a local boy would have probably meant an increase in fans (imagine he was the major draw for 8 sold out home games)... I would guess he would draw a lot more fans to Everbank than usual. I read somewhere that the extra revenue he would bring in to the Jags in tickets sales and huge amounts of merch sales would put him in a good bargaining position to triple his salary from the $1.9 he gets at the Jets. Also the Jags would more then likley play to his strengths (whatever they are) which would = a happy Tebow.....The Jags fans would more than likley adore him to cult status proportions.
Of course, all this is all 'what if'. I'm still learning about the ins and outs of NFL contracts and the intrcicies of how NFL franchises do business so I could be way off base here.

Managing IT services at breakneck speed
Sponsored by SearchCIO.com
Managing IT services has always required meeting users where they want those services. But in the age of cloud, mobile and self-service IT, enterprise CIOs have little choice but to re-examine and, in many cases, completely revamp their IT service management (ITSM) strategies to accommodate the breakneck speed at which business, and the technology that supports it, now moves.
In this SearchCIO handbook, CIO contributor Harvey Koeppel tells us why it's time to put traditional ITSM principles in the museum where they belong and usher in some fresh service management ideas in their place. Our CIO Innovator profile features CIO/CTO Bart Murphy, who explains how he made the creation of an ITSM program not only effective, but fun for his staff. In our last piece, CIO columnist Niel Nickolaisen reveals how a new view on managing IT services can free up staff to pursue strategic endeavors.

Scientists from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) in Oxford, found that the patterns of abundance and genetic diversity of bacteria living in oil-based metal-cutting fluid reservoirs were similar to those found in higher animal and plant communities. This confirms the ecological law that states that the bigger the area the greater the number of species present.
Scientists previously thought that biodiversity at the microbial level, was fundamentally different to that of larger organisms, such as plants and mammals. This discovery implies that similar processes, which structure the communities of large organisms, also determine those of microbial communities.
Engineering machine metal-cutting fluid reservoirs are used as coolants and lubricants in metal machining processes. The reservoirs of the machines studied, such as lathes and mills, were of increasing size and were said to be analogous to an archipelago of islands.
Microbial communities impact greatly on life on Earth. They can help promote plant growth and protect plants against disease, as well as reducing pollution. The finding that microorganisms follow the same patterns as plants and animals has potential significance in medicine, agriculture and pollution-control. By applying the new insights to the microbial world, researchers may be able to improve the exploitation of vital microbial processes, such as sewage treatment.
Dr Christopher van der Gast, from CEH, lead author on the paper, comments: 'This is an important finding as it will allow us to predict some fundamental diversity patterns of bacterial communities from information that is fairly simple to obtain. Combined with the amazing technologi

DETROIT (AP) — Jimmy Howard failed to stop Alex Ovechkin's shot in the final seconds of regulation.
But that was the last time he let a puck get past him in a successful return to the ice.
DETROIT (AP) — Jimmy Howard failed to stop Alex Ovechkin's shot in the final seconds of regulation.
But that was the last time he let a puck get past him in a successful return to the ice.
Patrick Eaves scored on Detroit's seventh attempt in a shootout and Howard denied Washington seven times, giving the Red Wings a 4-3 victory over the Capitals on Friday night.
Howard made 26 saves after missing four games with an injured left knee.
"I felt surprisingly good," he said. "I didn't have any issues at all with the knee, which I think is a great sign because I came back last time and still felt it every once in a while."
Ovechkin tied the game with 7 seconds left in the third period, but was one of seven shooters who couldn't score on Howard.
"I had opportunity before to put puck in the net," Ovechkin said. "Howard played really well."
Detroit's Gustav Nyquist scored a tiebreaking goal midway through the third period, but the Red Wings couldn't prevent the NHL's goal-scoring leader from sending the game to overtime.
The Capitals pulled their goaltender late in regulation and the move paid off.
After a short break on the bench, Ovechkin had time and space to wind up for a slap shot from above the circles that sent the puck past Howard and into the net to make it 3-all.
"Ovechkin's a dangerous guy," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said.
Ovechkin has 39 goals this season, his highest total since scoring 50 times during the 2009-10 season
The banged-up Red Wings welcomed back two key players: Howard and Henrik Zetterberg
Zetterberg had missed two games with a back injury.
"I think Zetterberg on the bench really helped," Babcock said. "I don't care who you are, when a lot of your best players aren't there, you're wondering where the next goal's coming from."
Michal Neuvirth stopped 42 shots to match a career high. One of his first was perhaps his best, flashing his glove to snag Nyquist's shot off a rebound just in front of the net midway through the first period. He also gave Washington a shot to win in the shootout, stopping the first six shots he faced.
"Very frustrating being so close to a win, but at least we got one point," he said.
Jason Chimera put the Capitals ahead 1-0 at the 15:24 mark of the first period on a power play and teammate Casey Wellman tied it at 2-all midway through the third, scoring on his third straight shot in a 2-second sequence.

A Passage to India (1924) is a novel by English author E. M. Forster set against the backdrop of the British Raj and the Indian independence movement in the 1920s. It was selected as one of the 100 great works of English literature by the Modern Library and won the 1924 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. Time magazine included the novel in its "100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005".[1] The novel is based on Forster's experiences in India. E.M. Forster borrowed the book's title from Walt Whitman's poem of the same name in Leaves of Grass.
The story revolves around four characters: Dr. Aziz, his British friend Mr. Cyril Fielding, Mrs. Moore, and Miss Adela Quested. During a trip to the Marabar Caves (modeled on the Barabar Caves of Bihar),[2] Adela finds herself alone with Dr. Aziz in one of the caves, panics and flees; it is assumed that Dr. Aziz had attempted to assault her. Aziz's trial, and its run-up and aftermath, bring out all the racial tensions and prejudices between indigenous Indians and the British colonists who rule India.
A young British schoolmistress, Adela Quested, and her elderly friend, Mrs. Moore, visit the fictional city of Chandrapore, British India which is said to have been based on the city of Bankipur, a suburb of Patna in the state of Bihar. Adela is to decide if she wants to marry Mrs. Moore's son, Ronny Heaslop, the city magistrate.
Meanwhile, Dr. Aziz, a young Indian Muslim physician, is dining with two of his Indian friends and conversing about whether it is possible to be a friend of an Englishman. During the meal, a summons arrives from Major Callendar, Aziz's unpleasant superior at the hospital. Aziz hastens to Callendar's bungalow as ordered, but is delayed by a flat tyre and difficulty in finding a tonga and the major has already left in a huff.
Disconsolate, Aziz walks down the road toward the railway station. When he sees his favourite mosque, a rather ramshackle but beautiful structure, he enters on impulse. He sees a strange Englishwoman there, and angrily yells at her not to profane this sacred place. The woman, who turns out to be Mrs Moore, has respect for native customs (she had taken off her shoes before entering and she acknowledged that "God is here" in the mosque). This disarms Aziz, and the two chat and part as friends.
Mrs. Moore returns to the British club down the road and relates her experience at the mosque. Ronny Heaslop, her son, initially thinks she is talking about an Englishman, and becomes indignant when he learns the facts. He thinks she should have indicated by her tone that it was a "Mohammedan" who was in question. Adela, however, is intrigued.
Because the newcomers had expressed a desire to see Indians, Mr. Turton, the city tax collector, invites numerous Indian gentlemen to a party at his house. The party turns out to be an awkward business, thanks to the Indians' timidity and the Britons' bigotry, but Adela does meet Cyril Fielding, headmaster of Chandrapore's government-run college for Indians. Fielding invites Adela and Mrs. Moore to a tea party with him and a Hindu-Brahmin professor named Narayan Godbole. On Adela's request, he extends his invitation to Dr. Aziz.
At Fielding's tea party, everyone has a good time conversing about India, and Fielding and Aziz even become great friends. Aziz buoyantly promises to take Mrs. Moore and Adela to see the Marabar Caves, a distant cave complex that everyone talks about but no one seems to actually visit. Aziz's Marabar invitation was one of those casual promises that people often make and never intend to keep. Ronny Heaslop arrives and rudely breaks up the party.
Aziz mistakenly believes that the women are really offended that he has not followed through on his promise and arranges an outing to the caves at great expense to himself. Fielding and Godbole were supposed to accompany the little expedition, but they miss the train.
Aziz and the women begin to explore the caves. In the first cave, however, Mrs. Moore is overcome with claustrophobia, for the cave is dark and Aziz's retinue has followed her in. The press of people nearly smothers her. But worse than the claustrophobia is the echo. No matter what sound one makes, the echo is always "Boum." Disturbed by the echo, Mrs. Moore declines to continue exploring. So Adela and Aziz, accompanied by a single guide, a local man, climb on up the hill to the next cluster of caves.
As Aziz helps Adela up the hill, she innocently asks him whether he has more than one wife. Disconcerted by the bluntness of the remark, he ducks into a cave to compose himself. When he comes out, he finds the guide sitting alone outside the caves. The guide says Adela has gone into one of the caves by herself. Aziz looks for her in vain. Deciding she is lost, he angrily strikes the guide, who runs away. Aziz looks around again and discovers Adela's field glasses lying broken on the ground. He puts them in his pocket.
Then Aziz looks down the hill and sees Adela speaking to another young Englishwoman, Miss Derek, who has arrived with Fielding in a car. Aziz runs down the hill and greets Fielding effusively, but Miss Derek and Adela have already driven off without a word of explanation. Fielding, Mrs. Moore, and Aziz return to Chandrapore on the train.
Then the blow falls. At the train station, Dr. Aziz is arrested and charged with sexually assaulting Adela in a cave. She reports the alleged incident to the British authorities.
The run-up to Aziz's trial for attempted sexual assault releases the racial tensions between the British and the Indians. Adela accuses Aziz only of trying to touch her. She says that he followed her into the cave and tried to grab her, and that she fended him off by swinging her field glasses at him. She remembers him grabbing the glasses and the strap breaking, which allowed her to get away. The only actual evidence the British have is the field glasses in the possession of Dr. Aziz. Despite this, the British colonists firmly believe that Aziz is guilty; at the back of all their minds is the conviction that all darker peoples lust after white women. They are stunned when Fielding proclaims his belief in Aziz's innocence. Fielding is ostracised and condemned as a blood-traitor. But the Indians, who consider the assault allegation a fraud aimed at ruining their community's reputation, welcome him.
During the weeks before the trial, Mrs. Moore is unexpectedly apathetic and irritable. Her experience in the cave seems to have ruined her faith in humanity. Although she curtly professes her belief in Aziz's innocence, she does nothing to help him. Ronny, alarmed by his mother's assertion that Aziz is innocent, decides to arrange for her return by ship to England before she can testify to this effect at the trial. Mrs. Moore dies during the voyage. Her absence from India becomes a major issue at the trial, where Aziz's legal defenders assert that her testimony alone, had it been available, would have proven the accused's innocence.
After an initial period of fever and weeping, Adela becomes confused as to Aziz's guilt. At the trial, she is asked point-blank whether Aziz sexually assaulted her. She asks for a moment to think before replying. She has a vision of the cave in that moment, and it turns out that Adela had, while in the cave, received a shock similar to Mrs. Moore's. The echo had disconcerted her so much that she temporarily became unhinged. She ran around the cave, fled down the hill, and finally sped off with Miss Derek. At the time, Adela mistakenly interpreted her shock as an assault by Aziz, who personifies the India that has stripped her of her psychological innocence, but he was never there. She admits that she was mistaken. The case is dismissed. (Note that in the 1913 draft of the novel EM Forster originally had Aziz guilty of the assault and found guilty in the court, but later changed this in the 1924 draft to create a more ambiguous ending.)
Ronny Heaslop breaks off their engagement. Adela stays at Fielding's house until her passage on a boat to England is arranged. After explaining to Fielding that the echo was the cause of the whole business, she departs India, never to return.
Although he is free and vindicated, Aziz is angry and bitter that his friend, Fielding, would befriend Adela after she nearly ruined his life. Believing it to be the gentlemanly thing to do, Fielding convinces Aziz not to seek monetary redress from her. The two men's friendship suffers in consequence, and Fielding soon departs for England. Aziz believes that he is leaving to marry Adela for her money. Bitter at his friend's perceived betrayal, he vows never again to befriend a white person. Aziz moves to the Hindu-ruled state of Mau and begins a new life.
Two years later, Fielding returns to India and to Aziz. His wife is Stella, Mrs. Moore's daughter from a second marriage. Aziz, now the Raja's chief physician, at first persists in his anger against his old friend. But in time, he comes to respect and love Fielding again. However, he does not give up his dream of a free and united India. In the novel's last sentences, he explains that he and Fielding cannot be friends, at least not until India is free of the British Raj. Even the earth and the sky seem to say, "Not yet."

Three songs each. One last chance to shine.
Monday night's live finals on The Voice delivered a classic duel between Adam Levine and Blake Shelton – who've won the singing competition twice and three times, respectively – as Season 7's top four artists competed one final time.

But the Pittsburgh pop singer claimed his space with some sexy force Monday, stepping up for Team Adam Levine with his trademark falsetto to look every inch the polished pop star. Move over, Justin Timberlake!
First, Jamison showed off heightened style and confidence as he performed his song choice, Maroon 5's next single, "Sugar," alongside a groovy line of Daisy Duke-clad backup players. As Jamison strutted confidently, his cherry-lipped posse swiveled their hips with matching red electric guitars in hand – an irresistible stage wink at Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" video and his '80s supermodel video phalanx.

Host Carson Daly announced the artists who were safe throughout the first two-thirds of the show, until it finally became clear that only Team Adam Levine – who was enjoying his last evening as PEOPLE's reigning Sexiest Man Alive – would be spared potential elimination.

Historic debate on end-of-life bill about to beginBy Peter Hirschfeld
Staff Writer | February 12,2013Stefan Hard / Staff Photo
Sen. Claire Ayer, D-Addison, introduces end-of-life bill S. 77 Tuesday in the Senate Chamber of the Statehouse in Montpelier. Ayer is flanked on her right by Sen. Christopher Bray, D-Addison, and Sen. Peter Galbraith, D-Windham. Sen. Robert Hartwell, D-Bennington, is in the foreground right.Sen. Robert Hartwell sat alone in his committee room this morning, poring intently over "Robert Baxter versus the state of Montana."
The 2009 case went all the way to the Montana Supreme Court, where judges weighed the legal implications of allowing doctors to hasten the deaths of their terminally ill patients. The Supreme Court ultimately said it could find "find no indication in Montana law that physician aid in dying provided to terminally ill, mentally competent adult patients is against public policy."
Hartwell and the rest of the Senate will decide later today whether to enshrine in Vermont law a citizen's right to request a lethal dose of medication from their doctor.
The drama surrounding today's vote stems in part from the uncertainty of its outcome. Hartwell, a Bennington County Democrat, was among the four lawmakers who had yet to announce publicly where they stand.
Earlier today, the ranks of the undecideds shrank to three when Sen. John Rodgers announced that he'll be voting in favor of the legislation.
The Senate chamber is packed today with supporters and opponents of a controversial legislation that promises to engender an inspired floor debate.
We'll bring you updates on this historic debate throughout the morning and afternoon, and have the vote to you as soon as it's counted.MORE IN This Just InTwo people were killed in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 91, one of several accidents on...
