A Visit to Club 33Disneyland: Remembrance of a visit to Disneyland's Club 33. A TPI Audition Piece. From Joseph Catlett
Most guests to Walt Disney's original Disneyland pass through New Orleans Square and don't even notice it. Too busy to notice a little detail amongst the Mardi Gras atmosphere of Disney's sanitized version of the Big Easy, they move on towards Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion or those hidden restrooms just past the train station. However, for those of us in the know, that little, unassuming sign bearing a crystal encrusted "33" is Never Neverland, meaning that most of us will Never Never get to go inside. This is Club 33, the private supper club hiding in plain sight on the second story of New Orleans Square. I'm sure you've heard the stories. built in the late 60s for friends of the Disney's and corporate sponsors of the park, Club 33 is the place that pretty much every Disney fan wishes they could get into. They'd beg, borrow or steal just to get in the place. a veritable holy grail for Disneyland enthusiasts and here I was. My wife, her mother and myself waiting outside the entrance to the club and pressing the buzzer next to the door, the sign to the hostess working the door of the club that members have arrived and are ready to be name checked and granted admittance.Posted March 31, 2011 at 7:19 AM Club 33 is a special place, and a special dress code is a part of the experience. While most guests to the park that summer day were sporting tshirts and shorts, we're in dining attire, myself in a coat and tie sweltering in the 90 degree plus weather at 530 pm. It's strange to be ogled by your fellow theme park visitors, half of them not sure if you're some sort of high ranking executive in the park or someone who didn't get the memo that it was July in Southern California and 90 degrees outside. The hostess working the intercom opened the door and let us in. As we entered some stragglers tried to follow us in, but were kindly turned away by the hostess explaining to them it was a "private club". These are one of those times you feel like you're getting away with something. A time where just for a second you feel like visiting royalty. You think "Ha ha, I get to do something you can't do." You know, really mature and all. Our party is then ushered into a glass elevator, small by modern standards, just barely holding the three of us, we are deposited onto the upper floor of New Orleans Square and escorted to the dining rooms. We are greeted by the maitre' d looking very sharp in his black tuxedo and sat down in the large dining room decorated elegantly with flowing curtains and french fleur de lis motifs. It reminded my wife and I of King Louis XIV's Palace of Versailles in France. This is fine dining and believe you me you pay for it. It's not particularly overpriced as fine dining restaurants go, but all told a couple will easily drop 200 dollars in an evening. For that money you can bet your life the quality is higher than what you get at Redd Rockett's Pizza Port or even the Blue Bayou Restaurant. The money you spend is justified in the quality of food and service you receive. Of course any meal at Club 33 is not complete without a fine bottle of wine. That's right. Club 33 is the only place at Disneyland where alcohol is served. Disneyland is the theme park equivalent of a dry town, in fact it makes Provo, Utah on a Sunday look like Oktoberfest in comparison. Now I am not really that much of a drinker, truth be told, but there is just enough of the "Oooh, look at us we're soooo naughty" factor to it that you've got to enjoy at least a little of the grape just to say you did. We had a bottle (or two, but who's counting) of a really nice red wine from Fess Parker's winery in Northern California. Yes, THAT Fess Parker, the guy who played Davy Crockett. How funny, we thought, that we're drinking wine at Disneyland grown at Davy Crockett's vineyard. How random is that? It was a great experience and like any Disneyland visitor it was time to go souvenir shopping. My wife and I have been to many fine restaurants but none have ever had merchandise. Well, Club 33 does. Its not exactly a store, more of a glass case with displayed items inside. We got a pair of mouse ears, a keychain and a lapel pin all emblazoned with a gold "33" on the front. We made sure to thank the very kind friend, a club member, who signed us in for this amazing evening, one that we will truly never forget. Comments in chronological order. Most recent at the bottom. Scroll down to respond. From KJ Simpson
Thanks for the review! I got a bit of a thrill just finding that doorway when I visited DL last year, along with a friend who had never heard of Club 33. We searched it out, and when I found it, I was quickly approached by a couple who had been standing nearby. They came over to say that they had been watching the door for a very long time, just to see who came by and knew what it was. I was apparently the first person in a long time! Tell us more about the food- what did you have?Posted April 5, 2011 at 6:49 PM From Tyler Bell
I want to go, does WDW have anything like it?Posted April 6, 2011 at 5:26 AM From Anthony Murphy
WDW does not (strangely)Posted April 6, 2011 at 8:35 PM From Tyler Bell
They should, there are alot of good places.Posted April 7, 2011 at 5:14 AM From Joseph Catlett
KJ, I had the steak and my wife had ahi. The question often comes up regarding why pay 40 dollars for a steak or 30 dollars for ahi at Club 33 when you go to Outback for half that price. The answer lay in the presentation. The ahi was surrounded by a mango sauce that really brought the flavors bursting into your mouth. The steak was some of the tenderest I've ever had. Thick and juicy paired with summer vegetables and red potatoes. Really good stuff, honestly.Posted April 7, 2011 at 7:05 AM From Joseph Catlett
Tyler, WDW does have something similar. At the Grand Floridian there is a place called Victoria and Albert's, while NOT a private club, it is still quite exclusive. Featuring a prix fixe (or fixed price) menu, the restaurant is by reservation only and has a very strict dress code. My wife and I have been twice, the most recently on our 8th anniversary last October. At same point I'll take the time to write a review of it (maybe if I get the TPI writing assignment I'll do it sooner than later. HINT HINT Robert Niles)Posted April 7, 2011 at 7:04 AM From Tyler Bell
My grandparents had their anniversary there a few ago.Posted April 8, 2011 at 5:23 AM From Patrick Doublin
So they DO serve alcohol, thanks for mentioning it. A co-worker said that patrons have to bring in their own bottles and 33 just charges an uncorking fee.. which made no sense to me.Posted April 8, 2011 at 9:33 AM This discussion has been archived, and is not accepting additional responses.

Some of the lakes can be accessed via car or 2 wheel drive pickup and others roads are over rough terrain where a 4x4 vehicle is recommended. We will let you know on a lake to lake basis what kind of transportation is recommended. Find Roche Lake on this Kamloops Area Location Map Roche Lake Provincial Park encompasses all the lakes mentioned in this section. The area is approximately 35 km S of Kamloops on Hwy 5A, just north of Trapp Lake. For people coming from the south or the coast the area can be accessed via Hwy 5A from Merritt. Detailed Map of Roche Lake Area
These two small lakes beside the road as you approach Roche Lake get very little open water pressure and contain both rainbow and brook trout...more
Blue green waters and some of the most spectacular fighting rainbows in the province. Roche Lake offers a variety of fishing opportunities for all anglers ...more
Easily accessible by car, fishing Horseshoe lake is an exercise in patience. A designated Ducks Unlimited Project, Horseshoe lake has dark water and large rainbow and brook trout.
A dark water reservoir, Frisken Lake offers fast growing rainbows to 5lbs. Subject to drawdowns and winterkill this lake still seems to produce every year. I believe that I have fished Frisken only once, in the early 1980's. I was there when the water was drawn down and the algae was abundant. Although this lake has not inspire me to return, I'm always hearing some good reports.
When I think of Bullman, I think of caddis in July and waterboatman in September. Some of my very best fall days have been enjoyed at Bullman Lake. This is a great float tube lake with a few bays where you can escape the prevailing breeze and enjoy the fishing.
John Frank Lake is a Ducks Unlimited project and a fishery that is very under rated. When the lake survives a winterkill, the abundant freshwater food source grows these babies back to the 2-3lb range in a season.
Some of the most magnificent structure can be seen at Black Lake. Actually, Black Lake is not black at all as it has crystal clear water and an abundance of fishable shoals for triploid rainbows to 10lbs. ...more
Just past Black Lake on the road to Ernest Lake, Bog lake is a difficult to access and thus doesn't see the pressure that many of the other lakes see. That's good for the fly fisherman who likes a little solitude. I have only fished Bog Lake once, again, in the 1980's so I have no real opinion to date.
Continuing on the road from Black and Bog, Ernest is a spectacular 'fly only' lake where the rainbows average over 4lbs. This is definitely a 4x4 road so be prepared. Access to the lake can get cumbersome if the water is low as cattails and bullrush surround a good part of the lake. Ernest is a great sedge lake in late June and early July and sports a pretty good waterboatman hatch in September.
Here are two other fine fishing lakes in the area but lie outside the Roche Lake Provincial Park boundary.

Bake and Decorate Cupcake Set Kimberly from Toledo, OH– Verified Buyer This is one of my granddaughter's favorite toys. She always prepares cupcakes for us when she comes over and is really becoming a great artist in the process. |
My 3 year old loves it! Leah Janke from Valley, NE– Verified Buyer That is a really cute set but I am not so sure about the markers. They don't wipe off the cupcakes very easily and definitely did NOT wash off my couch and walls! Make sure you give them to an older child or always use them with your supervision! The set is really cute even without the markers, though. My son likes to switch out the frosting and "blow out" the candles. The liners are flimsy, paper liners but you can replace them with real ones from the store or silicone ones to make them last longer. |
Cupcake Fun Kathleen from Shorewood, IL– Verified Buyer Pretty, tasty looking cupcakes. Great quality. Perfect for kids playtime. |
So Cute! Cathryn from PA– Verified Buyer This is a nice little cupcake bake set. It has good quality items included with it and it's fun for the kids to be creative with their cupcakes. I'm very pleased with it. |
Happy Birthday To You Betty the Baker from Indiana– Verified Buyer My Kids enjoy the cupcake set, especially the oven mitt. The set is a great quality wood toy as are all of the Mellissa and Doug products we own. With the exception of the flimsy paper wrappers, this cupcake set will likely stand up to years of play time. The wrappers look like standard cup cake liners so when they finally bight the dust I am sure I can find some replacements in my baking supplies. We also own the brownies and cookies and this set is a favorite. My kids are drawn to the colorful candles and frosting and enjoy preparing a cupcake with a candle and singing happy birthday to each other. Great toy for hours of fun play. |
Wonderful but stains clothes curlyangelmama from Chicago, IL My 2 year old daughter LOVES this toy. but I found out the hard way that this erasable markers in the kit stain clothes so make sure you put an old t shirt or art smock on before you let yuor kiddies play. It is a creative toy and I love Melissa and Doug products but it stinks that I've ruined 2 shirts from it. :( |
GREAT product! Breanne from Littleton, CO– Verified Buyer Bought the Cupcake Set for a 3 year old little girl and she LOVED it! She plays with it daily! What a great, quality product. |
Is what I expected. Theresa from Huntington, NY– Verified Buyer One of the markers were scratched. Otherwise the set was what I expected. |
Another perfect Melissa and Doug product quitecontrary1977 from Upstate,NY A brilliantly concieved toy, where children can switch out the play cupcakes' liners, and icing and "decorate" the cupacakes with included expo markers. My kid plays with this set every day! |

A mucous cyst is a painless, thin sac on the inner surface of the lips. It contains clear fluid.
Mucocele; Mucous retention cyst; Ranula; Epulis
Mucous cysts are common. They are painless, but can be bothersome because you are aware of the bumps in your mouth. The cysts are thought to be caused by sucking the lip membranes between the teeth.
Mucous cysts are harmless. Left untreated, they can form a permanent bump on the inner surface of the lip.
When mucous cysts occur on the floor of the mouth, they are called ranula. When they occur on the gum, they are called epulis.
Mucous cysts may form around jewelry (piercings) on the lips or tongue.
A thin, fluid-filled sac appears on the inside of the lip. The sac is bluish and clear. It is painless, but it can be bothersome.
The sac can also occur on the tongue, palate, inside the cheeks, floor of the mouth, or around tongue or lip piercings.
Your health care provider can usually diagnose a mucous cyst simply by looking at it.
A mucous cyst often can be left alone. It usually will rupture on its own. Opening the top of the sac with a sterile needle will help it go away. If the cyst returns, it may need to be removed.
To prevent infection and damage to the tissue, you should not try to open the sac yourself. This should be done by your health care provider. Oral surgeons and some dentists can easily remove the sac.
There are usually no complications.
If it becomes uncomfortable, have the cyst examined by your health care provider during a routine examination.
There is no known prevention. Avoid intentionally sucking the cheeks or lips between the teeth.

DJ Laz's Gun Connected With Miramar Murder-Suicide
Lazaro Mendez has been a staple on South Florida radio for decades. His classic Mega Mixes and Traffic Jams set the standard for Miami house-party DJs. His work with Pitbull, Gloria Estefan, and 1-800 Need Help TV spots have increased his profile in the past ten years.
Sadly, his gun was reportedly used in a murder-suicide by his friend and associate Marcus Nathaniel Trotman. Before shooting himself, Trotman shot his wife, Danielle Lorenzo, and her mother, Linda Scudera.
In light of this tragedy, we are relieved that Mendez immediately contacted authorities when he heard about the incident. As far as we can read, he's deeply saddened over this tragedy and transparent about his connection with the shooter.
DJ Laz has always been a positive force in our community. He's used his name, high profile, and time to support local charities. Hopefully, this tragic incident will inspire Laz, and other gun owners, to keep closer tabs on their pieces.

Improving Access to Healthcare: Models of Adaptive Behavior
- Carri W. Chan,
- Linda V. Green
- … show all 2 hide
Patient access to healthcare is a major problem area due to inadequate supplies and misallocation of resources including physicians, nurses, and hospital beds. Increasing patient demands due to an aging and more chronically ill population will exacerbate this situation, leading to longer delays for care, hurried treatment times, and adverse clinical outcomes. Though there is a significant operations literature focused on methods to mitigate these effects, suggested remedies may be ineffective due to adaptive behavior by both physicians and patients. This chapter will focus on the quantification and impact of such adaptive behavior on the ability to provide timely patient access to limited health services.

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) lesions can look like other kinds of skin problems. Because of this, your doctor will take a sample of the lesion to see whether it is KS. This sample is called a biopsy. Usually, KS cells are easy to see under a microscope, and your doctor should be able to confirm the diagnosis.
For large skin lesions, your doctor will normally do a punch biopsy. During a punch biopsy, the doctor takes a small piece of the lesion for examination. When the doctor removes the entire lesion, it is called an excisional biopsy. This type of biopsy is usually done when there is only one small lesion, or if removing the whole lesion will help ease skin irritation or other symptoms. If you have a lot of lesions, the doctor might biopsy many of them to see if they are all KS.
Your doctor may also order a chest X-ray to determine whether or not there are any KS lesions in your lungs. If the chest X-ray is abnormal, your doctor may then recommend a bronchoscopy, which is a procedure that allows doctors to inspect the lungs directly. During a bronchoscopy, a small, flexible bronchoscope with a camera at the end is inserted through the mouth into the windpipe and then advanced into the lungs. If any suspicious lesions are seen during the procedure, they can be biopsied at that time.

Make Stunning Schenker Graphs with GNU Lilypond
Setting up a Lilypond file for a Schenker graph is fairly straightforward. A typical graph contains one or more grand staves, or piano staves, so one will likely begin with a piano template. To modify a piano template for a Schenker graph, add a few lines of code. Inside the PianoStaff brackets, but outside the individual Staff context brackets, add these lines:
\set Score.timing = ##f \set PianoStaff.followVoice = ##t
The first line creates an unmetered score, with no barlines—typical for Schenker graphs. The second line is explained later.
Inside each Staff context, and inside \relative brackets if you use them, insert:
\override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-headed = ##t
This allows you to combine several layers of hidden voices—an important tool—without altering the note spacing.
The last global element is adding raggedright = ##t to the \layout section. I think this just looks better, but it also ensures consistency of measurement if you make significant edits to the graph after you've begun working on spacing. The piano template is now ready to be used for a Schenkerian graph. For an example template built upon a single grand staff, see the Resources.
The first and most important part of the process of building a Schenkerian graph is to sketch the final graph by hand. The more complex the notation, the more valuable this will be. And even though Lilypond makes it easier than Finale or Sibelius to edit graphs after they have been created, you will still save much time and effort by sketching the complete graph by hand before typesetting it. It is also a good idea to mark off the beats that will be used. Because almost every voice in the Lilypond file will contain a number of skipped beats, it is essential to know the number and layout of beats ahead of time. One quarter-note beat for each notehead should suffice.
The next step is to typeset the fundamental structure, the half notes connected by an eighth-note beam. I chose to use two voices for each staff when creating this. One voice contains eighth notes with invisible noteheads, and the other contains half notes with invisible stems. The fundamental structure for the upper staff of the Bach graph looks like this:
<< { \override Beam #'positions = #'(8 . 8) \override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t s1 b8[ s4. s1 a8 s4. s2 g8] s4. \revert Beam #'positions \revert NoteHead #'transparent } \\ { \override Stem #'transparent = ##t s1 b2 s1 a2 s2 g2 \revert Stem #'transparent } >>
Notice first that I override the beam positions, to make it level and out of the way of any notes and stems that may be placed under it. Also notice the use of the transparent property, one of your best friends when creating a Schenker graph in Lilypond. And of course, notice that the beats correspond exactly, with an eighth note and dotted-quarter skip in voice one, corresponding to each half note in voice two.
If you want to put scale-degree marks on each note, as in the Bach graph, Lilypond 2.6 now makes it possible without using LaTeX. You simply mark up the note like this:
b8[^\markup { \override #'(baseline-skip . 0.5) \column { \small {^ 3} } }
The baseline-skip override should align the carat tightly over the numeral.
You also may notice that I chose to create multiple voices with brackets and back-slashes, rather than \voiceOne, \voiceTwo and so on. In my experience, the brackets are quicker, they make it easier to insert and delete voices, and they are less likely to cause alignment problems between voices.
Once the fundamental structure has been created in each staff, next comes the surrounding notes. I typically begin with plain noteheads in one voice—separate from the two voices already created—and add beams, stems, slurs and additional voices as I continue. This helps me better organize my code. To create a voice with plain noteheads, begin the voice with the code:
\override Stem #'transparent = ##t \override Stem #'length = #0
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

First of all, SWMBO hates beer. So I have no where to vent when things go bad, so sorry fellow HBTers, but you have to hear my vent. On a good note, if you dont want to hear me vent you can just click back on your browser and i wont event know. Now, on to my story.... It has been a while since I have brewed. Almost a year to be exact. Not because I didn't want to, but for some reason the Air Force doesnt want us brewing/drinking in the desert. Something about being culturaly sensitive I guess. Any who, today was going to break my streak of no brewing. The last time I brewed, I added a valve to my kettle so I could use my new plate chiller but when i put it in there was a really small leak (like 1 drop every 5 minutes). Not too bad, but I wanted it fixed. So I was looking at Kal's electric brewery and used his examples of how to install the valves and figured I could make it water tight. This is what started the bad brew day. While tightening the valve, I broke the O-ring. And of course, my small town doesnt sell them anywhere. I was able to find one at lowes, but it wasnt high temp. I bought it anyways and decided to take the one off my round cooler HLT and swap it to the brew kettle and put the low temp one on the HLT. Sweet, it worked and I can continue brewing. Mashing/Sparging go uneventful, but when I start the boil and getting my hops ready, I bust the bag open like I was Hercules and they go all over the place. I didnt lose a whole lot, so I figure I will be ok. During the boil, I have 2 HUGE boil overs so I know I am going to have a big cleanup afterwards. After the boil, I set the plate chiller up and have the hose running to the yard since it needs to be watered anyways. About 3/4 of the way into the chill I decide to move the hose so I can water another area. Bad move! As I move the hose, it pulls the chiller off the shelf, which pulls the boil kettle off the rack boiling wort goes everywhere. I lost about 1.5-2 gallons! Thats was far worst that having that boiling wort splash on my legs (I have nice burn marks down my legs, but the loss of beer is far worse). To top it off, I have no idea where my thermometer is. To be honest, im sure its in my fermenter because its the only place it could be. Ok, I have some wort cooled and ready to be pitched. I go to get my starter out...wait, I forgot to do one. I guess its been to long since I brewed! The only really good thing that came out of this was that SWMBO said that I really need to upgrade my setup so that I dont fling boiling wort all over the place. I think that means that I can get some march pumps instead of using gravity like I have been. The End.
Um,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,welcome home? The good news is that the next brew day has got to be better, as there is nowhere to go but up!
I haven't brewed in a month. Not surprisingly, I had cobwebs to shake off...about 1/12th the scale of yours. But more importantly....what beer did you decide to brew to break the yearlong sabbatical?

Yooper, that is the truth. Plus it was so bad I'm going to have to do another one soon to make up for it. The brew is a porter, nothing special. I'm sure it will still be delicious. I would RElax and have a homebrew, but since I don't have any I will just have some commercial brew and relax.
"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants up to be happy"https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Br...06422039446902
Bummer day, man! Hope you're OK, and welcome home from the sand trap (God forsaken place; IMHO, of course). Been there, done that, don't wanna ever go back. Cheers!
I thought offering up my hand to gods of 185 degree sparge water was bad (I had to save my only digital thermometer)...
Mrwizard, THANK YOU for your service to our country. Hope your next brewday goes better.
I feel your agony my friend. I tried my hand at my first all grain and ran into issue after issue, this and that. Out of 6 gallons of water,i achieved about 3 gallons of fermentable wort. My mash tun felt the need to hold onto a lot of water and not drain (gotta love the gurgling sound. Ended up getting way too much grain in my wort and clogged the home made false bottom. Had to stick my hand in the cooled wort to wipe off the filter, that only took 30 minutes extra. But like you said, mess up to move up. Now I have a much better manifold design in the mash tun and working on a new false bottom for the keggle.

Dodd-Frank Rules Slow at SEC After Court Cost-Benefit Challenge
March 7, 2012
Bloomberg News
Jesse Hamilton
Less than halfway through the process of implementing the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, the pace of rule-writing by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has slowed by about half.
The agency's five commissioners haven't met once in the last four months to approve or propose regulations required under Dodd-Frank, designed to curb the kind of risky practices that fueled the 2008 financial crisis.

SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro told reporters in Washington last month, "It's easier to propose rules than it is to adopt them." Photographer: Joshua Roberts/Bloomberg
SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro acknowledged the slowdown, describing it as a "natural lull" after an initial gush of proposals.
"It's easier to propose rules than it is to adopt them," Schapiro told reporters in Washington last month, particularly after a court rejected one agency rule over its costs.
The rule-making holdup is extending a period of uncertainty for affected firms -- some welcome the delay of unwelcome regulations, others would prefer clarity.
Tom Quaadman, vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Center for Capital Markets Competitiveness, described the law as imposing "impossible deadlines."
"They've given them a 2,400-page piece of legislation that really directs the regulators to do all the hard work," Quaadman said.
Among the rules in limbo are the so-called Volcker rule to ban banks' proprietary trading, restrictions on asset-backed securities deals, and forcing firms to disclose whether manufacturing metals were mined in war-ravaged parts of Africa.
Financial Revamp
Enacted in 2010, Dodd-Frank requires U.S. regulators to write hundreds of new rules to revamp how the financial sector does business, and more of those rules were assigned to the SEC than any other agency.
In the first year after the law's passage, the agency voted to approve 108 proposals, adoptions and rule concept releases, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, most of them related to Dodd-Frank. That's an average of nine per month.
Since the law's one-year anniversary July 21, the register has recorded only 39 rulemaking SEC votes, or about 5.3 a month, the data show.
Much of the recent activity has taken place behind closed doors, adding to the appearance of a slowdown. Since Oct. 26, the agency has adopted only nine rules and did so without holding a single public meeting, conducting the votes by paper ballot.
Schapiro offered several explanations for the SEC's slower pace, including the complexity and high volume of public comments on recent rules, and the fact that a new commissioner joined the five-person panel last November.
Rule Rejected
The most important factor cited both by Schapiro and agency observers, however, is legal. Last July, the U.S. Court of Appeals rejected an SEC rule that would have made it easier for shareholders to insert board candidates onto public-company ballots, saying the agency failed to adequately assess the costs.
The rejection of the so-called proxy access rule made all future SEC rules vulnerable to a similar challenge, forcing Schapiro and her agency to redouble efforts to study cost- benefit effects.
"We are clearly taking more time on cost-benefit analysis," Schapiro said.
The court decision was "like sticking a two-by-four in the spokes" of SEC rulemaking, said Lynn E. Turner, a former chief accountant at the agency who is now managing director of Litinomics Inc., an economic and legal consulting firm. "I think it's going to get worse, not better."
Congress may exacerbate the problem, he noted: A House committee recently approved a bill that would demand a more rigorous cost-benefit justification for each rule.

Patrick-Murray Administration Announces Massachusetts Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program to Launch July 28
Up to $200 in rebates offered per household on eligible refrigerator and room air conditioner replacements
A follow-up to last year's Great Appliance Exchange, the new program is open to Massachusetts households. Customers who purchase a new ENERGY STAR® refrigerator and/or room air conditioner to replace an inefficient model, may qualify for rebates of $150 and $50, respectively.
"Taking old, inefficient appliances off the grid and replacing them with energy saving models, cuts energy consumption and costs, while stimulating the economy with retail sales," said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Richard K. Sullivan Jr. "As I have said before, the clean energy revolution is going to occur one household at a time and this program is a great example of how it will happen."
The program is funded by a combination of a US Department of Energy American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant, funding from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and funds available to promote energy efficiency from a nitrogen oxides (NOx) cap and trade program established to reduce ozone pollution. The program is expected to fund approximately 20,000 rebates worth $2 million and is estimated to save around 1.8 million kilowatt hours in a year, enough to power 250 homes for a year.
"This program will save consumers money not only on their initial appliance purchase, but also in lower energy bills for years," said DOER Commissioner Sylvia. "The Commonwealth is pleased to partner with the U.S. Department of Energy, Massachusetts public utilities, the Cape Light Compact, and participating retail stores to make this happen."
Rebates will be available on all ENERGY STAR® qualified refrigerators and room air conditioners, purchased on or after July 28, and each purchaser must replace an existing refrigerator or room air conditioner to receive a rebate. Customers who participate and who are eligible will receive a $150 rebate for refrigerators and $50 for room air conditioners. Those households served by the Cape Light Compact, National Grid Electric, NSTAR Electric, Unitil, and Western Massachusetts Electric Company are also eligible for an already existing $50 Mass Save rebate on their ENERGY STAR® refrigerator purchase. (The Mass Save refrigerator rebate is available only through www.MassSave.com, not through this program.)
Prior to purchase, customers are encouraged to check how much rebate funding is available by going online to the rebate program website, where they'll be able to track the status of funds and their own rebate applications. There will also be a customer service center available for those who don't have access to the website. In addition, retailers can provide customers with real-time status of funding in-store. DOER will provide the program's website address and the customer service center information closer to the launch of the program. A list of participating retailers will also be available on the website and through the call center.
After a competitive procurement process, DOER selected Minnesota-based Helgeson Enterprises, Inc. to administer the rebate program. Helgeson Enterprises has successfully managed ARRA-funded appliance rebate programs in 14 other states, including Colorado, Georgia, and Rhode Island, and has a robust national rebate fulfillment business. Based on Helgeson's experience with similarly-designed programs in other states, rebate funds are estimated to be available for a couple of weeks after the program launches.
Customers can follow the steps below to participate:
- Customers can confirm the real-time availability of rebate funds via the program's website, the customer service phone line, or a retail location registered to participate in this program with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
- Customers who purchase a new ENERGY STAR® room air conditioner on or after July 28 bring in their old unit for recycling at the time of purchase, and certify on their rebate application that they have traded their old one in.
- Customers who purchase a new ENERGY STAR® refrigerator on or after July 28 can accept delivery and certify on their rebate application that their old refrigerator has been hauled away.
- Customers fill out a rebate application online, which places a hold on the requested funds. Those who apply via the customer service center will receive their completed application in the mail. The signed application, which includes certification that a refrigerator and/or room air conditioner has been traded in, is sent with proof of purchase(s) to Helgeson Enterprises Inc.
- Receipt and progress of the application can be tracked online or via the service center.
- Rebate payments are sent via U.S. mail.
The 2011 Massachusetts Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program is a limited time only offer that ends when the funding is fully exhausted. Funding is limited to $2 million and rebates are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Old appliances don't need to be in working condition when exchanged for more efficient models. They will be recycled after trade-in.
The federal Recovery Act allocated $6.2 million to Massachusetts to administer an Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program designed to spur household energy savings by taking high energy consuming home appliances out of service and replacing them with qualified ENERGY STAR® models. Since appliances are among the heaviest energy users in most homes, the program is expected to yield significant annual energy savings for consumers who participate. Massachusetts delivered the first round of its Recovery Act-funded appliance program in 2010. More than 20,000 rebates were fulfilled, but not all of the funding was used. This created the need for the 2011 program.

Dance Class Volume 5: To Russia, With Love
- Posted by Johanna on July 22, 2013 at 1:36 pm
- Category: Graphic Novel Reviews
- CREDITS: story by Beka; art by Crip
- PUBLISHER: Papercutz; $10.99 US
The latest installment of the Dance Class series is due out tomorrow. In it, the ballet students go to Russia to perform the Nutcracker. This isn't the first international setting, as the previous book was A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Paris….
The characters are young women studying various forms of dance, from traditional to folk-cultural and swing. Most pages are single gags, with setup and punchline. Some are specifically dance or class-related (like struggling to get one's hair up in a bun), while others deal with more universal situations, such as a jealous younger sister or looking for furniture. A recurring theme is wanting to dance with a cute boy, of course, as is trying to decide what to wear.
There's plenty to look at on every page, with lots of characters and background details. The slim volumes are brightly colored by Maëla Cosson, adding to the feeling that these girls live in a full world. The occasional multi-page longer sequence gives us more idea of the girls' personalities. This time, we're also introduced to Nathalia, the troupe's seamstress, who goes along with them to Russia because it's her homeland.
You can find out more about the series at the publisher's website. (The publisher provided a digital review copy.)

[Windows] Scan your PC with 68 anti-virus engines using herdProtect Anti-Malware Scanner
Posted By Kent On January 9, 2014 @ 1:05 PM In Windows | 10 Comments
[1]Having two or more anti-virus is okay (as long as real-time protection for only one is on) but it still cannot guarantee the detection and removal of all the malicious threats on your computer. Truth be told, there will always be those that won't appear as threat no matter how many times you perform a complete scan. It's just that running a bunch of anti-virus and anti-malware programs can greatly affect your computer's performance. However, this doesn't imply that you just let those undetected threats lurk around your PC. After all, you can always use herdProtect as your second line of defense.
Main Functionality
[2]Reason Software Company's herdProtect is a free malware scanning platform that you can use to scan your computer for spyware, adware and other forms of malicious threats. Right now, it's still on its beta version so it can only scan your PC and give you some detailed results. It is also important to note that herdProtect is no ordinary type of malware scanning platform. It is basically powered by 68 anti-malware engines so it can thoroughly scan your PC for malicious threats plus it's cloud-based. Just think of it as using a total of 68 anti-malware programs to perform a thorough scan. So if ever your anti-virus software fails to detect a potential threat, herdProtect will likely catch it
[4]As time passes by, the number of internet threats continues to rise. So you cannot always expect your anti-virus program to filter all potential threats particularly those malware, spyware and adware. Well, this doesn't imply that you can just let them go undetected. However, you cannot just install a whole bunch of anti-virus programs. This will not only be detrimental to your PC but having to scan your computer using multiple anti-virus and anti-malware programs is surely time consuming and too bothersome. This is why it's good to have an alternative solution and that is herdProtect.
The way herdProtect works is rather simple and direct. It basically takes a snapshot of all the active files (ex. processes, modules, drivers, etc.) on your computer. It then strips off those files with any personally identifiable details before it sends it to herdProtect's servers via a secure network tunnel. The scanning process will then be done in the cloud and all of your computer's active files then be scanned using its top 68 anti-malware engines which includes Agnitum, AVG, Avira, Avast, BullGuard, Comodo, F-Secure, Kaspersky, Kingsoft, Lavasoft, McAfee, mSecure, Symantec and many others. After the scanning process is finished, herdProtect will give you a full report so that you'll know if there are any malicious objects detected.
As for your part, all you need to do is to download and install the anti-malware scanner on your PC. Once installed, you will be prompted to do a first scan. This scan is partially complete so some of the detected items will be put on queue. You will then be prompted to perform a second scan in order to thoroughly assess the validity of these items. As soon as the scan is finished, herdProtect will show you the full report and it's up to you to take action if ever you find some malicious objects lurking on your computer.
Keep in mind that this anti-malware tool is designed to scan your active PC files in the cloud so you would need to connect to a stable internet connection. Furthermore, herdProtect is still on its beta stage so it can only scan your PC for malware, adware and spyware. It cannot remove them yet. Its malware removal and real-time protection features won't be made available until it officially releases its full version – which is slated to be released on the second quarter of 2014.
I find the concept of herdProtect quite similar to VirusTotal but it's different because it doesn't just scan any file, it can perform a full and thorough scan on your PC with 68 anti-virus and anti-malware engines. It acts as your computer's second line of defense, filtering out any possible threats that were left undetected by your existing anti-virus/anti-malware program. It's a great choice for when you suspect you may be infected with malware. Just keep in mind, the program is currently in beta and you cannot remove detected malware at the time of this writing.

Stars Continue To Shine For 'Hunger Games' London Red Carpet [PHOTOS]
The leading ladies and gentlemen of "The Hunger Games" continued their red carpet run in London today after premiering the film in the US earlier this week.
Jennifer Lawrence wore a golden Ralph Lauren gown that is similar to the one she wore for the US premiere. Elizabeth Banks is certainly not afraid of color– for the US premiere she rocked a short orange mini-dress, and tonight in London she pulled off a back-less, bright yellow gown by Bill Blass.
"Hunger Games" Stars Rock The U.S. Red Carpet
Liam Hemsworth looked even more debonaire than usual while standing next to his brother, "Thor" actor Chris Hemworth, who was rocking some surfer-style locks. Josh Hutcherson looked very British, but also a little awkward in his brown suit.

Listen: New Modest Mouse Song
Modest Mouse's new song, "Autumn Beds," sounds upbeat with its catchy, sing-along chorus, foot-stomping beat, and jangly banjo. But beneath the surface frontman Isaac Brock is painting a dark picture -- one of threatening legal action, a sinister DA, and the protagonist being found "guilty so many times." We're not sure we get it, but we like the tune.
The song is the title track for a upcoming limited-edition 7" (which will also feature new tune "Whale Song") due out later this month. Meanwhile, the band's new EP No One's First And You're Next is expected in August.

(EVANSVILLE, INDIANA) – The Evansville Otters are excited to announce that first baseman Andrew Clark has had his contract purchased by the Chicago White Sox this afternoon.
With Clark's signing, the Evansville Otters have promoted over 50 former players to affiliated baseball.
Clark had an exceptional start to the season, hitting .643 with a team-high four doubles and four runs batted in. He was promoted to the Chicago White Sox organization after only four games in an Evansville Otter uniform.
"It would have been nice to have AC a little longer, but it is great to see him get the opportunity to return to organization baseball," said Otters manager Andy McCauley. "He exemplifies what is great about the Frontier League. We wish him the best of luck with his baseball career."
The Indianapolis native attended New Palestine High School where he was named the Indiana Gatorade Player of the Year. Clark excelled at Louisville, being named the Big East Tournament MVP during his senior season.
He was drafted in the 13th round of the 2010 MLB Amateur Draft by the Texas Rangers. He played three seasons in the Rangers organization where he was named as a Baseball America Low A Class All-Star with the Hickory Crawdads (.313, 12 HR, 60 RBIs).
"I am very happy the Chicago White Sox organization has given me an opportunity to chase my dream once again," said Clark. "I'm very thankful for the opportunity I got to be a part of the Otters. It was great to meet the coaches and the players. They are great guys and I wish them all the best of luck, not just in baseball but in life."
The Evansville Otters will play in a doubleheader on Thursday at the Traverse City Beach Bums. Both games are scheduled for seven innings with first pitch at Wuerfel Park set for 5:05 pm EDT.
Fans can listen in to the radio broadcast live on WUEV 91.5 FM beginning at 4:45 pm EDT.
You can also follow the Otters through Facebook or on Twitter.

What Does Treatment Involve?
The most effective and long-lasting treatment for an eating disorder is some form of psychotherapy or psychological counseling, coupled with careful attention to medical and nutritional needs. Ideally, this treatment should be tailored to the individual and will vary according to both the severity of the disorder and the patient's particular problems, needs, and strengths.
Psychological counseling must address both the eating disordered symptoms and the underlying psychological, interpersonal, and cultural forces that contributed to the eating disorder. Typically care is provided by a licensed health professional, including but not limited to a psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker, nutritionist, and/or medical doctor. Care should be coordinated and provided by a health professional with expertise and experience in dealing with eating disorders.
Many people with eating disorders respond to outpatient therapy, including individual, group, or family therapy and medical management by their primary care provider. Support groups, nutritional counseling, and psychiatric medications under careful medical supervision have also proven helpful for some individuals.
Hospital Based Care (including inpatient, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and/or residential care in an eating disorders specialty unit or facility) is necessary when an eating disorder has led to physical problems that may be life-threatening, or when it is associated with severe psychological or behavioral problems.
The exact treatment needs of each individual will vary. It is important for individuals struggling with an eating disorder to find a health professional they trust to help coordinate and oversee their care.

'Mardler', the Athletic Bilbao story is a truly special story. The policy of bringing young Basque players through the ranks is unique in itself and the fact they are one of only a handfull of clubs never to be relegated makes the achievement even better. Maybe we should take a similar approach and have a policy of bringing young Norfolk-ian players through the ranks. ;).

I am just planning to start a new sales job as a commercial lender in a bank in a couple of days where I will be in 100% business development role for the first year I would guess. What I mean by that is, I am starting with no customers. I've been in this industry for a few years but have always worked my customers and referrals sources to get new business.
My question is that I'd really like to take the chance to get a lead generation/marketing/follow-up system in place early on. I'd love to hear of any resources which talks about the entire process. I'd really love something step by step using a lot of different mediums. Something that combines direct mail, email, walk-in prospecting, phone prospecting.
I started thinking more and more about directmail when I was constantly getting a real estate agents postcard mailer in my mailbox and then started seeing her signs appearing everywhere in my neighborhood.

151 days. That's the length of time between the Yankees' last televised game of the 2008 season and their first televised baseball game of 2009. After 144 Yankee-less days, their first televised game is only one week from today!
There will be a total of 12 games televised on YES and 10 games broadcast on WCBS-880AM. Of those games, 6 will be broadcast simultaneously on TV and radio, so between February 25 and April 4 (39 days) we'll have a total of 16 days worth of spring training games being broadcast one way or the other.
Among those dates will be YES' broadcast of the Yankees vs Team USA on Tuesday, March 3rd at 1:15PM, as we get a chance to see Derek Jeter play against the Yankees. That's right on topic for us after Mike's posting this past Tuesday. The Yankees' only meeting with the Red Sox- Tuesday, March 24th at 7:15PM will be broadcast on both YES and WCBS. Also the Yankees' series against Lou Piniella, Alfonso Soriano and the rest of the Cubs which opens the new place in the Bronx is being broadcast by both YES and WCBS. That would be Friday, April 3rd at 7:05pm, and Saturday, April 4th at 1:05PM.
April 5th is an off day before the season starts Monday afternoon, April 6th in Camden Yards against the O's at 4:05PM. Opening Day in new Yankee Stadium is Thursday, April 16th at 1:05PM against the Indians.
You will find that broadcast schedule right here.

PVFS: A Parallel Virtual File System for Linux Clusters
As mentioned before, PVFS does not implement many security features at this time. It is primarily intended for use on private cluster networks that can insure trusted clients. There is no restriction on client connections, nor is there any encryption or keys used to verify user authenticity. Client nodes are generally trusted to provide accurate UID information for use in file permissions and ownership checks, just as in NFS.
There are many changes and advances in store for PVFS. The existing generation of PVFS is undergoing modifications and testing to support a higher degree of scalability. These mostly address issues with supporting large numbers of TCP/IP sockets. They will also resolve the issues inherent in supporting 64-bit (greater than two-gigabyte) file sizes and offsets. This will allow PVFS to scale to the current size of large-scale clusters that utilize hundreds or thousands of nodes.
PVFS as a whole is undergoing a full redesign at the same time. This will result in a complete rewrite of PVFS that incorporates new technology and lessons learned from the previous implementation. This version of PVFS will not be available for quite some time but is already in active development.
Some of the features that will be supported in the next generation are:
Reactive scheduling that allows PVFS to adapt policies based on system state and application load
Modular support for a variety of networking systems, so that the file system is no longer bound to TCP/IP but can take advantage of more advanced messaging protocols as they become available
Modular support for a variety of storage methods to allow I/O dæmons to access local data through various methods, such as raw I/O or asynchronous I/O
Multiple manager support
Redundancy of both I/O data and metadata in case of system failure
Improvements in the UNIX compatibility layer
More advanced options for data distribution as well as data representation
After evaluating several distributed file systems, we chose to use PVFS for applications that require intensive I/O. PVFS, in its current state, does not provide any redundancy or high security features. However, the research is still ongoing, and we have high hopes in this regard. We believe that if PVFS were to provide access security, data redundancy and management node redundancy, then it would be more suitable for adoption as part of a highly scalable, reliable and fault-tolerant Linux cluster. As it stands now, however, it is more suited for application domains (such as scientific computing) in which optimal performance is paramount rather than high availability.
I had a pleasant experience with PVFS and with the developers who provided a lot of help as we achieved the above setup and contributed much to the writing of this article.
If you are interested in distributed file systems and you need support for high-performance I/O, I highly recommend that you try out PVFS. PVFS is freely available under the GPL and can be downloaded from Clemson University's web site (see Resources).
Primary PVFS developers: Robert Ross, Mathematics and Computer Science Division, Argonne National Lab. Philip Carns and Walt Ligon, Parallel Architecture Research Lab, Clemson University, with support from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center as well as Argonne National Lab. Ericsson Research Canada: The Systems Research Department at Ericsson Research Canada for providing the facilities and equipment as well as approving the publication of this article.
Philip Carns (firstname.lastname@example.com) is a graduate student at the Parallel Architecture Research Lab at Clemson University. Robert Ross (email@example.com) is employed at the Argonne National Laboratory by the Mathematics and Computer Science Division. He will receive his Doctoral degree in Computer Engineering from Clemson University in December 2000.

Re: PVFS: A Parallel Virtual File System for Linux Clusters
I have the feeling that I already know the answer on my question. However, I'd like to know if it is possible to install PVFS on a Linux cluster as a non-root user?
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
