The depth of logic in an integrated circuit, particularly a CMOS circuit, is highly correlated both with power consumption and degraded switching speed. Hence, designs with low logic depth can aid in reducing power consumption and increasing switching speed. In this paper we demonstrate how new and modified algorithms have been used to design multiplier blocks with low logic depth and power consumption.

There is a 14-dog race going on, with a goal to win the wallets of the enterprise for mobile security spend. When lined up in the starting blocks, the racers may all seem to have equal chances, but a few are better poised to cross the finish line first and bask in the glory of the winners' circle. Three of these technologies are the odds-on favorites to lead from start to finish, with the rest of the racers struggling to remain relevant.

We know that enterprise infrastructure & operations (I&O) professionals are under tremendous executive pressure to get to yes on cloud computing and that this can be an uncomfortable proposition. Understanding the security, maturity and return on investment from cloud services can be challenging, and in many cases you might argue that you provide the same capabilities from your own data center. But there's no denying that enterprises are increasing their consumption of these services and that their value proposition is unique and compelling - if not to I&O directly.
Since cloud became a household word, vendors and enterprises alike have jumped to declare victory on cloud with services and infrastructure implementations that really don't deliver cloud value but have the same foundation - something we call "cloudwashing." This is a dangerous gambit as you claim legitimacy but don't activate the same economics, deliver the autonomy that cloud services offer to your internal users and aren't standardized or automated enough to deliver transformative agility. In other words you claim cloud but are achieving only incrementally better value.

As if by magic, I no longer had to worry about whether choosing a salad for dinner might leave me too short of funds to pay my phone bill; I now had a budgeta lavish oneexplicitly dedicated to food. I bought spinach with stems that still snapped, cherries and berries that bled juice, melons that perfumed the backseat of my Ford Escort, fleshy Michigan peaches, whole chickens grown without antibiotics. I split Persian cucumbers in half, sliced lush tomatoes into wedges, and topped them both with smears of creamy feta—what I've since come to think of as government cheese. For possibly the first time in my life, I ate my recommended daily allowance of fruits and vegetables nearly every day.
But not many food stamp recipients have had my experience of reveling in a sudden abundance of fresh, "free" food. Most Americans fed by the program are children and their parents, or disabled, or elderly; I am none of those. On average, SNAP clients deal with per-meal budgets of roughly $1.49; mine was $2.22. And while it's increasingly common to find well-educated Americans, including myself, on the rolls, I've had the luck to see my time on SNAP turn out to be what nearly everyone wants it to be: a temporary fix (in my case, a year), not a long-term supplement for too-low wages or unemployment checks. About the only "typical" trait I had as a food stamp client was the fact that I was working: Roughly one third of SNAP recipients have jobs, while only 8 percent receive cash welfare.
I've heard conservatives say that food stamps lull the people who receive them into complacency and dependency. It's a critique that tends to be used to argue for cuts to the program, or for limiting its use by, for example, disqualifying people with savings—a policy that's become stringent enough that it would have excluded me. I can't speak for anyone other than myself, but getting food stamps just made me work harder. All that "free" food made me feel as though I must be doing something important, and I'd better have something to show for it. And a little over a year later, I do: a best-selling book, and a taste for government cheese.

OVC Digital Network (Friday Only) Live Stats UTM Game Notes
MARTIN, Tenn. - After a slew of road games at the beginning of the season, the University of Tennessee at Martin baseball team finally returns home to host Ohio Valley Conference rival Murray State this weekend at Skyhawk Field. First pitch times for the series are as follows: 6 p.m. on Friday, March 14; 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 15 and 1 p.m. on Sunday, March 16.
A full month into the 2014 season, UT Martin has only played one game at home and none since Feb. 25. The Skyhawks had a three-game set against Eastern Michigan on Feb. 21-23 scheduled to be played at home but unplayable field conditions forced the series to be moved to Nashville.
The Skyhawks (1-13, 0-3 OVC) opened league play last weekend at Jacksonville State, falling 10-5 on Friday, 6-2 on Saturday and 6-4 on Sunday. Despite the sweep, Chase Young guided the UT Martin offense with a .444 batting average while Jake Deason (.333, three doubles, two RBI's, two runs scored) also had a great weekend at the plate. The Skyhawk bullpen also quietly pieced together a solid weekend, as John Skubina, Stu Jones, Carter Smith and Taylor Cox combined to post a 2.97 ERA in 9.1 innings of work.
Junior southpaw Dalton Potts (0-2, 8.55 ERA) is penciled in as UT Martin's probable starting pitcher for Friday, followed by junior left-hander Cox (0-3, 4.84) in Game 2 and junior righty Alex Martin (0-3, 3.86) in the series finale. Skubina, Smith and Chris Ross have each made a team-high five relief appearances.
Murray State (7-7, 2-13 OVC) is coming off a 27-7 home loss to Arkansas State on Tuesday but last weekend, the Thoroughbreds opened their OVC slate by taking two out of three games against Morehead State. Tyler Lawrence and Anthony Bayus each hit .357 in the series while Luke Daugherty drove in five runs to lead Murray State offensively.
Senior right-hander Cameron Finch (1-1, 3.57) is expected to start Game 1 on the mound for the 'Breds. Junior southpaw Brock Downey (3-0, 1.78) is slated to take the mound in Game 2 while sophomore lefty Sheldon Baxter (0-1, 4.15) is listed as Murray State's probable starting pitcher for Game 3. Out of the bullpen, John Lollar and Cody Maerz each have made five appearances with a save apiece.
Friday's game is scheduled to be streamed live online and free of charge on the OVC Digital Network at the link above. Live stats for all three games can be found at the top of the webpage as well.

I Can't Afford This!
I have a beautiful Weeping Cherry that has all of a sudden developed brown leaf spot. Some of the leaves are yellowing and dropping. I checked for aphids since I've seen a few ants on the tree. I couldn't find any but sprayed with Pyola anyway. Figured it couldn't hurt. But it certainly had no affect for these spots.
I went online and identified the problem and according to the University of Mich. I have "cherry leaf spot". the pics were identical to my problem. The way to treat this according to the University is to treat the tree with a spry called "Bravo Rimodil Gold ". It sells for $133. for a pint! Is there anything else I might could use??
Thanks in advance for any help.
i see no reason to treat leaf spot in FALL!!!! ...
the leaves will be falling off ...
and no.. you do not need a professional product...
but you dont need one until next spring..
didnt you just plant this tree???? or am i getting you confused with other peach peeps???? .. if so.. transplant stress alone could be your main issue ....
BTW .. since you seem to be a newbie.. i would sure like some confirmation by the peeps here.. as to your diagnosis ...
peach is one of the few fruit trees that RARELY need spraying .... so i am worried about your overreaction ...
It is almost three years old and has been a beautiful tree. Well, let me be clear here. First off it's a weeping cherry not a peach tree and the tree is way older than 3 years. I have own it for three years.
I hate using chemicals but these leaves have tiny black spots all over them all over the tree. But if you suggest I wait then I will. But wouldn't I need a preventative for next year? If so, what do you recommend?
I did post this on the Pests and Disease forum yes for once I saw the cost of this "Bravo online I had to take a step back. You fussed at me in the "Black Leaf Spot" post so I told you to be nice. LOL
Tried deleting the post but could not figure out how. Didn't want to double my tracks.
Thanks for ny help. You sound like a pro.
p.s. is this something that would cause me to have need of collecting the leaves in case of spreading into the soil? Sorry not able to provide a photo.
Jaw....please be certain of the identification of the problem. Though all cherries can be prone to this fungus, it's important to be certain. Your local Extension office should be a good source of information.
Secondly, the suggestion of Rimodil as the 'only ' resort is absolutely NOT true. I strongly suggest that you read other university based fact sheets and you'll soon find that there are other things you can do and other chemicals, as a last resort.
The most important element for you, a backyard grower with one ornamental tree, is sanitation. This fungus overwiinters in infected leaves that have fallen to the ground. Doing a thorough clean up after leaf fall and during the growing season is very important.
Neem oil can be used to prevent that dreaded early infection, and halt it if caught in early stages. As far as chemical fungicides go, look for Chlorothalonil or Daconil in the active ingredient. There are many such products on the shelves of your local garden centers.
But, you cannot rely on chemicals alone. And ken is right about using chemicals now. Start raking leaves.
Wow! I had no idea this problem would be that involved. I looked up Captan and Infuse by Bonide. The Infuse is systemic. Since I don't eat the little cherries I figure what could it hurt? But I will take the advice of doing nothing this year and will make sure the leaves are well picked up.
I do have Neem oil. Would I apply it after blooming next year or before? Nothing appears to be on the branches.
And how often would suggest to apply next year? Meaning, should I keep it up after rain, etc?
Thanks for all the help....
p.s. Now that I think about it. These leaves down here in the south are not really that tired. The tree is sprouting new leaves all over it and even has a few little blooms. Now what? Would you go with the Neem oil? Or the fungal cure agent?
What Rhizo_1 said. Sanitation is essential. Also important is getting an early start next spring before the disease gets a firm foothold. If you don't like chemical sprays, you could use bacillus subtilis or the previously recommended neem oil.
Please consider carefully before using systemics. 1. They can remain in the plant tissues for a long time, apparently years. 2. You may not eat the cherries, but a host of beneficial insects (bees, butterflies as well as predators that help control the bad bugs) visit those blossoms and may be adversely affected by systemics that are translocated to the nectar and pollen.
Earlier in the season, I would gently feed a tree that is refoliating, as that process uses up energy stored in the root system. However, at this point, in NJ Zone 7 at least, feeding at or after Labor Day is not recommended as it will stimulate new growth that will not have a chance to harden off before winter sets in. (Our first frost here is usually around Halloween.) However, your tree is already putting out new growth, and you may have a later first freeze. I'd like to see what others have to say on this point.
In any event, as someone else may have already suggested, make sure your tree's cultural needs are being met: adequate sun and air circulation, a well-drained moist soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. An organic mulch will help stabilize soil temperature and moisture levels, just keep it a few inches from the bark of the tree.
Whether or not a peach tree has problems depends upon where in the US that tree is growing. In my region, they are subject to multiple diseases!
As has been said, the preferred time to spray is while the tree is dormant or very early in the growing season. Timing the spray, and determining which spray is used, depends upon which disease is present.
Right now, sanitation is what you need to do. I.E.: collect & discard affected leaves.
So far, the costly products that have been mentioned are not for use by home gardeners.
So it's important to talk with local people who know what's what in your region.
And such people are in your county's Extension Service office. You can phone them with your questions or, better yet, you can take in a sample . (A good sample for this tree would be a piece of an affected branch about 12-18 inches long.)
Locate your county's Extension Service office with this map
Good luck!
Here is a link that might be useful: locate your county's Extension Service office
Since Pyola is an insecticide it would have no affect at all on a fungal disease, and since Pyola is mostly pyrethrins, a broad spectrum poison, spraying it does have an affect.
Take some samples from that tree to your counties office of your state universities Cooperative Extension Service for proper identification of what the problem is and they can advise you on what to use and when to use it. Quite often when is as important as what. Your states agricultural school, those Cooperative Extension Service people, have research stations all over your state where they research all kinds of problems that growers can have and the solutions for those problems. Since you pay for that you should take advantage of what you have already paid for.
You people are amazing! I have just followed the link to my extension office which is based out of the University of Ga. I will call Tuesday since today is Sat. and Labor Day wknd. I will need to know how to contain some soil samples as well. I am so new at this.
No sprays now. I promise. Raked up leaves this morning and will stay on top of it. So next spring.......do I spray the Neem oil on the bare branches? That is what I picture as I read this. Also, can I spray the Neem into the soil? Sorry for so many questions....
Many thanks to all who are helping out here. Your advise in most valuable....
Neem Oil products appear to offer the best protection for certain plant diseases if applied, to the leaves, before there are signs and symptoms, therefore applying Neem Oil products now will do little to help your Weeping Cherry. There are some anecdotal reports that applying Neem Oil products to the soil around plants may help deter thingys such as slugs, but nothing I have found relates to aiding in control of plant diseases
Suggi the only leaves I am raking are the ones that have fallen from this Weeping Cherry. We won't see Fall until sometime in Late October/early November. Although my neighbor's Maple is a beautiful red and is losing leaves. Weird. It does this every year.
I received an email but do not see it posted here concerning another product. Here I'll show you:
"FWIW, lime sulfur is an excellent fungicide for this issue and is considered a 'natural' product and is approved for organic gardening. Has far better effectiveness than Bacillus subtilis."
What is all your opinions about this? Sounds like something I could use now.
And what is Bacillus subtilis??? Sounds like a Greek Mythical character......
I've always been a bit wary of many formulations, lime sulfur included, so am not very familiar with this material. There is a discussion on it in the Rose Forum at
Bacillus subtilis is a bacteria commonly found in the environment - soil, air, water, and particularly decaying plant matter; it aids in the decompostion process. Since it also produces antibiotic and antifungal compounds, its efficacy and safety in controlling plant diseases was explored and formulations are now fairly readily available, labeled for use in suppressing or controlling about 30 bacterial and fungal diseases. It is supposed to have very low toxicity to non-target organisms.
Neem oi is another very useful product in the garden, with low adverse impact on the environment.
That being said, always, always read labels completely and carefully, following label directions regarding mixing, application rates and personal protection. They're probably erring on the side of caution, but why take chances?
One thing everyone should be aware of is the availability, via internet, of Material Safety Data Sheets (commonly called MSDS). In the work environment, these must be readily available to any workers using any covered materials ... even substances we consider common household cleaning products and pesticides. There are several sites that will provide this info free of charge. Also check out Cornell's references linked below.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Green Wave slide past Keene in nine innings
Tuesday, May 13, 2014
DOVER — As Connor Rittenhouse rounded third base and headed for home, he figured one of two things could happen: one good and one bad.
"Last week we didn't pitch well and lost to Salem, and then we didn't play good defense and lost to Spaulding," Carver said. "We did a little bit of both well today and got the win. It's not a complicated game." Senior lefty Anthony Lupi went all nine innings to pick up the win. He allowed two earned runs on seven hits, walked three (one intentionally) and struck out four. Lupi threw 100 pitches on the nose. "I was just throwing strikes and letting my defense do the work," Lupi said. "It was a good team win." Keene led 1-0 and 2-1. Each time the Blackbirds scored, the Green Wave came back with a run. In the fourth, Keene's Alex Parenteau led off with a single to left. Eric Zecha walked and John Link bunted them up a base. Mason Blanchard's deep fly ball to center brought in Parenteau for the 1-0 lead. Dover tied it up in the fifth when Rittenhouse reached on a one-out base hit to center. Sheldon singled to left to put runners on first and second. Jared Gagne drew a walk on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases. Ryan Hayden hit a grounder to third base that was bobbled, dropped and then reclaimed for the force out at third, but Rittenhouse scored from third to tie it a 1-1.
Blanchard went six innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits with seven whiffs and one walk. In the bottom of the inning, Connor Gaffney led off with a single for Dover. JT Bishop bunted him to second and he moved to third on Mike Wasserman's 4-3 ground out. Jordan Goss brought Gaffney home with a two-out base hit to left to knot the score at 2-all. Keene loaded the bases but did not score in the seventh. Two runners reached on errors with two outs and Lupi intentionally walked Parenteau (2 for 2, 2 runs, 2 walks) to load the bases. He got the final out with a whiff of Zecha. "All around pretty good ball game, pretty cleanly played until that last play there at the end," said Keene coach Dan Moylan. "It was a nice baseball game. We played well enough to win, we just game up on the short end of it today."
Dover's chances were erased by some strong Keene defense in the seventh and eighth. |

to catch a feral litter....
Ok, voice of experience needed: I found out today there is a litter of kittens under my deck. I heard from a neighbor that there was 2 small kittens playing behind his shed and thought that I would look into it more... well, this morning a tuxedo cat was just sitting in the middle of the deck watching the "goings-on" of my household thru the sliding screen. I went around to the side door to get to the deck and gently get her to move (you'll hear why next) and low and behold she slips under the deck. Now I have a very sweet dog (ready? - rat terrier) that has been going outside over the deck into the fenced yard many times a day and sometimes stays out playing for an hour. How did this occupation of kittens occur? We were out of town for 4 days - did mom move them in at that time? The dog still went out but was very curious about the path the cat took under the deck. I took the dog in real soon without a big hubub. Half hour later I kneeled over edge of the deck and meowed. One little black kitten came right out and I expected to see the other reported black kitten but a white and grey paw jutted out then a perky little grey/wh head and chest. But then quick went back in. I spoke to the little black but did not touch him/her. It went back under. They have not come out again but I can call and one of the black ones again answered my mew and came to within view. I don't know cats very well (have 2 adult females) and so don't know ages. They walk fine but still have a buggeyed look. Someone (mom?) has eaten canned food each time I put a tablespoon or so out today. I will leave alot of dry out tonight. I have called a rescue and they will look for a foster if I can catch them. I should try to give them human contact more. How? Believe it or not, I have a couple people already thinking they might adopt one.
How has this unfolded for any of you? I welcome & will use all pointers and advice of course! Thanks.
We have a feral cat Baby. Before we were able to get her spayed, we captured 3 litters of her kittens. We used a trap cage and canned mackerel. Boy it stinks to me but they love it.
The earlier you get the kittens the better they will be with people. You can buy a trap or hopefully the rescue group can lend you a trap for a few days. Are the kittens weaned or close to it? Thats when you want to get them. In the meantime try to have contact with them as much as you can.
After you get all the kittens, the most important thing is to capture the mother and have her spayed, or this will be a repeating event for you. I had an appointment for Baby after her 2nd litter but the vet said it looked like she had an upper resp. infection and wouldn't do it. It took 9 months and another litter of kittens until we could catch her again. (The kittens fell for the trap easily, momma knew after one time not to go in there.) If you can't afford to get her spayed ask if the rescue group can help you, or if you have a local Humane Society see if they have a TNR program. Otherwise the best thing is to have her put down. Ferals run rampant and can be a real problem in many communities. We were lucky to be able to capture and neuter the male (he died a few yrs ago) and female near our house, some kook on the next street was feeding a large colony, none were neutered. Please do not add to this problem by letting her continue to have litter after litter. Baby is now about 6 yrs old and may be the most spoiled feral cat ever. She is fed twice a day, has fresh water and a house with a heater in the winter months. We still can't touch or get closer than 3 feet to her.
Another tip is not to leave food out overnight, you can get other critters that may bother momma & kittens. Try putting food out for momma for an hour or so when your dog is inside. We started feeding at the same time every day & momma cat learned mealtimes quickly. If the momma cat is not feral but a stray, your work will be a lot easier, she may not be as scared to come to you.
Good luck, I'm sure others will have suggestions for you. Thank you for helping them.

Been there ... a cat showed up and was living in my barn, a couple of years ago. It wasn't feral, but skittish ... I assumed it was a pet someone dropped off in the country. I had enough housecats at the time, and this cat seemed happy in the barn ....
Until one day I saw her with her new kittens ... 4 little balls of long-haired beauty. I tried to befriend the kittens, Momma had taught them well though and there were so many places to hide in the hay section of the barn.
So I begged and borrowed 5 hava-heart traps. Found a place I could take them for a low-cost spay/neuter, and timed it so it would all work out good for me. Of course that was the night Momma had already taken them up the hill to the neighbors barn!
I realized the next morning that they were gone. So I removed the traps, knowing she usually came back in a day or 2 and I wanted her to stick around. The following night I heard some pretty loud/bad screeches/cries in my neighbors hay field and could only imagine that I had been too late and those gorgeous little kittens became someone's meal!
Was really happy to see the 4 fuzzballs and Momma back in the barn the following morning, so got the traps out and set again. Took a couple of days to catch all of them ... had one kitten that was very stubborn, but he eventually got really hungry so I was able to catch him.
I had a big dog crate all set up and waiting for them in an extra bedroom in the house, and finally had the whole family together. Got them all spayed/neutered, found homes for 3 of the kittens, kept one kitten since he fell in love with my 20 lb male cat, and put Momma back outside after she healed. She kept coming to the back door, so one day I opened the door and told her if she was coming in, she was staying in ... so that's why I now have 4 house cats!
It takes planning, but you can catch them. And agree with the comment above that the kittens need to be weaned.
Alley Cat Allies has a roughly day to day progression so you can approximately tell how old they are.
We have a colony we just TNR'd, but we did end up with one last litter. Once we knew the kittens were 4 weeks old, we just grabbed them (our ferals are not super-feral). I would strongly suggest wearing gloves. It was traumatic for everyone, blood was drawn, but they got over it. It took one cat about two hours to decide that being a lap cat was a good gig, but one took a week. All three of them are just the sweetest little guys now, six weeks later.
When I took the TNR class offered by the rescue, I was told that the momma cat will bring the kittens to the food- and she did.
Here is a link that might be useful: Age Progression at Alley Cat Allies
Thanks for all the advise. Yes, I have already promised the rescue that I will pay spaying costs for Mom. She has been around for a long time and seemed so darned socialized that I assumed she was "someones". So I have asked around and she is a stray but maybe I can catch her easier because shes somewhat social. The rescue will loan me a trap. Today I was surprised to hear loud meowing/mewing. Looked out and saw Mom and the 3 babies which now that I've looked on the Alley Cat Allies site, may be 6-7 weeks old. I spoke through the window gently to Mom who stopped turned and listened to me. She then seemed to: return back in the direction of the deck thus leading the kittens back that way. Then I saw her take another route a little further from the window but again heading out of the yard. The kittens tried following her again but I lost sight of most of them. Then I heard an adult cat doing the low growl that my own cat does when she's warning someone to "LEAVE ME ALONE". Perhaps the kittens were not supposed to follow and Mom was making them stay back? Yikes, could she be pregnant again?! Or on her way......
Get to the kittens as soon a s possible because with no human contact , after 7 weeks they are feral. I rescued my Henry and brother at 4 weeks..a little young but I had the opportunity then before mom moved them. He's five now, lovey and 21 pounds. My other rescue was not feral but a starving greasy horrible looking thing who was pregnant. I fed her and she went off to have three babies. I found them three weeks later, removed all of them to my bedroom and raised the babies. Two boy kittens were adopted to one family and I kept mom and daughter who are very sweet cats. But daughter is way more wary than her semi feral mom and she was raised in my house from three weeks old.
As long as they're under 4 months old, they're still able to be tamed. They won't be lap cats, and they'll probably only trust "their people" but they'll still be just fine as house pets. One of ours is like that (we have five permanent residents and the three foster kittens).
And yes, she's ready to get pregnant again. They're ready within a few weeks of giving birth.
You will need several more traps than cats- you DO NOT want them in the same trap. They panic, and it's really easy for kittens to get trampled. One of our ferals gave himself a bloody nose freaking out in the trap.
Agree with cocontom ... they certainly do freak out when trapped.
When I had Momma spayed, they told me she was already pregnant again, and it cost more to do the spay because of that. I wasn't sure if she really was, or it was just a scam to charge me more money.
The cat and kitten disappeared for 2 days and then returned for one night. I could see the kittens eating the food at twilight and then playing on my deck for an hour at midnight. I had not set up the trap due to the vet only doing rescue neutering/spaying 2 specific days of the week. Now that I am ready to set 2 traps, they have disappeared again with no signs of food being eaten or anything. Anyone know what might have occurred? I am still determined to help these cats if I can. I have informed nearby neighbors of what I am trying.
Update : After investigating all over the neighborhood, found the litter under another deck. Lady there had been feeding daily also. I set 2 live traps and caught Momma cat AND an opossum! Took momma in that morning for low cost spaying and shots. She frowned the whole time I had her convalesce in a large dog crate - I never saw a cat frown before, but I kid you not! A few times she would fling herself from one side to the other of crate. A little more than 24 hours later I released her. It was NOT sucessful using her as "bait" to catch her kittens and milk was EVERYWHERE so I really wanted her free. She took back up with her babies in a touching way as reported by the sponsoring, deck-owning lady. Three weeks later I was successful in catching the kittens. Two little blacks, female & male. Then 2 nights later during a drenching thunderstorm that delivered 3 inches water overnight, I was blessed with the last little guy, beautiful med. long haired light gray and white patches. All have been neutered and vetted. I was shocked that the vet said they were at least 12 weeks old (have canine teeth). So, I figured I had my work cut out trying to socialize three older feral kittens, but knew that I could TNR if I had to. At least they would not bring more babies into the world. Well, I have had them for a week and I did decide to release the one male. He was dominant AND black, since he showed no signs of softening up and in fact shoved the other two around, I made the oh-so-hard call of believing it would be hard to get him adopted and so released him near where I knew momma hangs out. My heart ached for the decision and still does but the very next morning the remaining two let me start piling the love on them!
I had been following the steps outlined for socialization of feral kittens by the Urban Cat League. Feeding only when I am there, closer and closer each day. Well, in 24 hours I could feed them from hand and pet them not just on neck, but nearly anywhere! They loved the petting so much they both drooled all over the place! They had jumped several days ahead of schedule. I must say though that I am spending a lot, a whole lot of time with them. I nap in the little room with them, read to them, and now play with them. Thankfully I am off work.
The last thing I am working on is picking them up. Neither one feels comfortable with it even though the one will crawl all over me when I am laying on the napping mat.
I cannot keep them because I have my cat limit but after only one week of their remarkable progress and seeing their relationship, I would love to place them in a home together. I hope that's not too unrealistic. They have different but loving and complimentary personalities. I see the black female has a couple spots of little bit of brownish- is that enough to be a tortie?
This has been an awesome experience even though hard on the nerves...I would love to hear any comments or suggestions? Thanks.

Top 10 unbreakable records
Posted 22 December 2012 - 10:16 AM
10.Chicago 72-10 Season
When Dennis Rodman joined Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen for the 1995-96 season, the Bulls became nearly unbeatable. Their 72-10 record is the best in NBA history. Though some expected Miami to challenge that mark with LeBron James last season, the Heat won just 58.
9. Jose Calderon 98.1 % from FT
The Toronto Raptors point guard took 154 free throws during the 2008-09 season. He missed three of them. Even for a career 88-percent shooter, that's amazing marksmanship. Calderon broke Calvin Murphy's mark of 95.8 percent set in 1980-81. To do better, someone is going to have to be just about perfect. For an entire season. Good luck.
8.8Wilt Chamberlain's 50.4 ppg season average
It's rare for any NBA player to score 50 points in a game. Except, that is, for Chamberlain during the 1961-62 season, when he did it an amazing 42 times. The closest any other player has come to his season scoring average was Michael Jordan's 37.1 in 1986-87.
7. Rasheed Wallace's 41 Technicals In one season
Even if a player wanted to be as whiny, argumentatitve and profane as Wallace, who earned 41 techs in 80 games during the 2000-01 season, it would be hard to break this record. The NBA now curtails complaining by suspending players after their 16th technical foul of the season. That means Wallace's career mark of 304 technicals is also safe.
6. Bill Russel's 11 rings
Russell and the Boston Celtics dominated the NBA from 1957-69, winning 11 titles in 13 seasons. The league expanded from eight to 14 teams during that span and now has 30 franchises, making such a run nearly impossible. Who's come closest to Russell in the modern era? No, not Michael Jordan (6) or Kobe Bryant (5). The answer is Robert Horry, a role player on seven championship teams in Houston, Los Angeles and San Antonio.
5. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 38,387 career points
His size, skill and athletic ability made him an elite scorer for most of his career. Then that unstoppable skyhook allowed him to keep pouring in points into his 40s. By the time he was done after 20 seasons, he'd put up a number only Karl Malone (36,928) has approached since. LeBron James, nearly 20,000 points behind, might catch him if he develops a skyhook of his own.
4. A.C Green's 1,192 Consecutive Games
Cal Ripken is revered for playing 2,632 straight baseball games, but Green's record is nearly as remarkable. For more than 14 NBA seasons, he endured nightly punishment as a rugged power forward, yet never missed a game for any reason. Green is better known for being a self-proclaimed virgin throughout his career, another record that probably won't be broken.
3. Lakers 33 game win Streak
An NBA team winning every game for more than two months? It's hard to fathom, but the Lakers pulled it off during the 1971-72 season. Amazingly, they started the streak right after Elgin Baylor retired, though they still had plenty of talent with Jerry West (pictured), Wilt Chamberlain and Gail Goodrich. The second-longest winning streak is 22 by the Houston Rockets during the 2007-08 season.
2. John Stockon's 15,806
Career Assist .
A great passer who had the luxury of playing with a great finisher in Karl Malone for 19 seasons, Stockton's record won't be touched any time soon. Jason Kidd, in second place, is more than 4,000 behind. Steve Nash trails by more than 6,000 and Chris Paul is about 11,000 behind. Stockton's career record for steals (3,265) is just as unbreakable.
1.Wilt Chamberlain 100 point Game
Not many basketball records are well known. But all sports fans are aware of Wilt's astounding 100-point effort against the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962. In the third season of his NBA career, Chamberlain earned attention for himself and the league by making 36 of 63 field goals and 28 of 32 free throws. Only Kobe Bryant, with 81 points against the Toronto Raptors in 2006, has sniffed triple digits since.

I think #2 and 8 should switch. Nobody will every amount to 50ppg whereas Rondo could possibly beat Stocktons assist record. I also think the Bulls 72-10 record is breakable I just don't know what team will do it.
Wilts 50 PPG should be #2 but there's no chance Rondo breaks Stocktons record.
Posted 22 December 2012 - 10:29 AM
Its more likely than someone reaching 50 ppg.Wilts 50 PPG should be #2 but there's no chance Rondo breaks Stocktons record.

Its more likely than someone reaching 50 ppg.
Well I'll agree with that because I actually think the 50 PPG record would be harder to break then the 100 point game. So it should be #1.
IMO every record is more likely to be broken then the 50 PPG

I know some people would be lucky to have a 50 point game in their career.
Yep, I mean look at all the great scorers we have in the league right now.
Kobe/Melo/Durant are all shooting amazing this season. Yet they are all 20 PPG or more behind Wilt's record. Even when MJ was playing, he couldn't get close to the 50 PPG. I just don't see it happening.
Posted 22 December 2012 - 10:48 AM
There is no way that anyone averages 50 points. I don't see anyone scoring 100 either but 50 a game is tougher to break because it needs mad consistency.
All those records are more or less unbreakable.
I think #4 will be broken by Russell Westbrook. Dude hasn't missed a game since HS (he didn't miss a game in HS either).
#2 is kinda breakable as well. Eventually, someone will break it.
And lastly, if a team manages to break the 72-10 record, they could possibly break the 33 game winning streak as well but I don't see it happening any time soon.
***Wilt never fouled out of a game and he averaged 48.5 minutes per game in a season. That's what I call unbreakable records. IJS.

Why? Because you are who God says you are. And until you've sacrificed your broken concept of your identity, you won't become who you are meant to be.
When we place our false labels and self-deception on the altar of God's truth, we discover who we really are as his sons and daughters. Instead of an outward-driven, approval-based ego, we learn to live with an 'altar' ego, God's vision of who we are becoming. Discover how to trade in your broken ego and unleash your altar ego to become a living sacrifice. Once we know our true identity and are growing in our Christ-like character, then we can behave accordingly, with bold behavior, bold prayers, bold words, and bold obedience. Altar Ego reveals who God says you are, and then calls you to live up to it.

Submitted by Jerry Jackson on Mon, 07/04/2011 - 9:16pm.
As I write this entry, I can hear the distant crack of fireworks from Wilmington's July 4th celebration. The "pops" are so thunderous, it feels like our poor studio will simply collapse. Thinking back to youthful days in my hometown, our fireworks displays were conducted on a much smaller scale than the "big city". But we still had a lot of fun. Speaking of big cities... One summer, I had a chance to do a little traveling. Our local electric co-op sponsored an annual writing contest for grade-school students. The top three winners won an all-expense-paid trip to Washington DC. With great excitement, I submitted my entry along with hundreds of other students. To my surprise, I won. I was really excited about the chance to visit Washington- and maybe a little nervous. After all, Raleigh was the biggest city I had visited up to that point. Incidentally, Raleigh was also the starting place for my Washington adventure. Contest winners from co-ops all over the southeastern United States met at the big convention center. After a night of "meet-and-greets" with my fellow travelers, we embarked at the break of dawn on one of the strangest tour buses I had ever seen. I can still picture that big shiny bus. I believe the proper name for the style is "articulated". In other words, the bus was actually comprised of 2 sections, each segment connected in the middle by an almost accordion-like joint. Whenever the bus driver made a turn, you could look out the window and actually see the passengers in the back of the bus. Very cool- especially to a kid who had never seen such a bus before. Highlights of the trip included visits to the Smithsonian museums & National Mall, Jefferson Memorial, even a boat ride on the Potomac River. Side trips included Arlington Cemetery and Mount Vernon. Our 10 day journey wrapped-up with a formal reception at the Kennedy Center and a special trip to the FBI. To a wide-eyed kid, this was a trip to remember. But I must admit, I was surprised by the weather. Growing up, every time I saw a picture of Washington DC on the news, everything always seemed to be covered in snow. I guess I just assumed that Washington was always cold, even in the middle of summer. In reality, conditions can be just as hot and miserable "up north" as they are "down south". However, Washington DC is less prone to early season hurricanes than Wilmington, NC. Part of this lies with the slightly cooler water temperatures off the coast of Maryland during the months of June and July. Even in North Carolina, July hurricanes are rare- but 1996's Hurricane Bertha proved that "exceptions" always exist. Bertha made landfall as a Category 2 storm between Wrightsville and Topsail beaches on July 12, 1996. She delivered a 9 foot storm surge and wind gusts over 100 mph. Bertha reached Category 3 status (115 mph winds) just a few days before, making her the first such storm to form in July since 1926. Bertha was also a large system, with hurricane-force conditions extending over 150 miles. Tropical storm-force winds extended over 300 miles. Of course, Hurricane Bertha is often overshadowed by the more powerful Hurricane Fran, which struck our state just a few weeks later in September 1996. Many of the records set by Fran would be eclipsed by Hurricane Floyd in 1999. When it comes to hurricanes, there is always a bigger fish...

text: Workshop ProgramInvited speaker: George Forman "Feature Selection: Reframing the Problem" FSDM'08 KeynoteGeorge Forman Hewlett-Packard Labs, Palo Alto, CA, USA Feature selection is often thought of as a means to improve accuracy or reduce computing demands for machine learning or content analysis. It is usually characterized as removing irrelevant or redundant features, or identifying the best features for some purpose. As dataset sizes increase and the potential feature space grows to infinity with rich data types, so grows the importance of feature selection. For all the great research papers on feature selection that demonstrate consistent and substantial improvements on benchmark datasets, one might think this sub-field in data mining is mature. Not so. Feature selection in practice still involves much trial-and-error and is prone to failures. In my talk I'll reveal samples of some challenging industrial datasets and problem definitions, and autopsy an example failure in feature selection. Based on these experiences, I will deliver some do's and don'ts to address frequent shortcomings in our research field, and set out some valuable areas for future work, such as feature selection knowledge transfer (aka meta-learning). Bio: George Forman is a senior research scientist at Hewlett-Packard Labs. His research interests stem from practical issues that arise in the application of machine learning to industrial problems, e.g. feature selection, robustness, small training sets, and novel problem formulations. His Ph.D. in Computer Science & Engineering is from the University of Washington, Seattle, 1996. Final program (September 15th 2008)

You may have heard about people living by faith. Well, faith is such a powerful thing that is highly regarded among Christians. With each passing day presenting new twist to life, believers have identified the best way to stay well. They are saying a prayer for healing.
Faith curing is not a new feature in Christianity. Christ himself healed many people through faith and even said that with faith, his followers could do more. So basically, faith healing is quickly taking center stage in cutting down on medical bills. And indeed, prayer has proven to be very effective in giving people a new lease of life.
Whatever the case, a Christian knows that through benediction everything is possible. The possibility of everything through prayers is demonstrated by Christ Jesus himself through his life here on earth. He prayed and healed the sick. He prayed and raised the dead and he prayed to feed the hungry. There are a lot more examples to draw from the bible.
It is generally believed that strong believers will get what they want while those with weak faith can stumble and fall several times. So, someone who does not see results with a dose of prayer could well be thought of as weak believer. But just before making such conclusion, it is important to remember that matters of good health or death are the prerogative of God. No man can compel Him.
This is to say that while God would hear prayers, He does things according to His will and of course with good lessons for those who remain. Therefore, death of a loved one even after a long and painful prayer is never because God refused to listen nor the problem too big for Him to handle, but because that was the best that should happen!
Secondly, these prayers can be said by intercessors on behalf of the sick. Intercessors are people who have strong faith in the power of prayers and therefore use that ability to pray for those who cannot pray for themselves or those who feel that they require communal efforts to get their prayers to God. The intercessors therefore mention the sick or the person seeking cure in their intercession.
Whether or not shrines are the fountain of miracle cure, the fact that people who visit there pray is an indication that without faith, little can be realized. But visiting shrine besides the ceremonial part of it is not a very good idea. The reason is that God does not live in shrines; instead, He is everywhere so going to look for Him in the shrines when you can get Him right in your house can be perplexing.
Some people have urged that making a prayer for healing to a person whose faith is not strong enough is like casting seeds among rocks. In other words, it does not work. This school of thought is that such prayers never reach God and that is why the sick person may end up dying. On the contrary, others believe that benediction is not a means to compel God to do something, as such healing or death after such prayers is the choice of God.
If you need to say a prayer for healing purposes, you may use our website as a good source of information. For further details here is the link to click on http://www.thatisthecamel.org today.

If you feel like you have become the victim of predatory lending, please contact one of our staff members to set up an appointment at 801-691-5260. Our one-on-one counseling is free to the public and is here to help you.
What is Predatory Lending?
In communities across America, people are losing their homes and their investments because of predatory lenders, appraisers, mortgage brokers and home improvement contractors who:
- Sell properties for much more than they are worth using false appraisals.
- Encourage borrowers to lie about their income, expenses, or cash available for down payments in order to get a loan.
- Knowingly lend more money than a borrower can afford to repay.
- Charge high interest rates to borrowers based on their race or national origin and not on their credit history.
- Charge fees for unnecessary or nonexistent products and services.
- Pressure borrowers to accept higher-risk loans such as balloon loans, interest only payments, and steep pre-payment penalties.
- Target vulnerable borrowers to cash-out refinances offers when they know borrowers are in need of cash due to medical, unemployment or debt problems.
- "Strip" homeowners' equity from their homes by convincing them to refinance again and again when there is no benefit to the borrower.
- Use high pressure sales tactics to sell home improvements and then finance them at high interest rates.
Remember: If a deal to buy, repair or refinance a house sounds too good to be true, it usually is!
Visit a HUD approved counseling agency (list available on www.HUD.gov) for more information and advice on predatory lending. Call 801-373-8200 ext. 235 if you live in Utah, Wasatch or Summit County. Community Action Services and Food Bank is a HUD approved Housing Counseling agency and has expertise in dealing with predatory lenders.

French gaming site JeuxFrance is reporting on a few rumors involving the house that N built, mostly revolving around a portly plumber. They're stating that Nintendo is planning on whipping out some big guns at the show, revealing the next installment in the Mario Kart franchise for the Wii, as well as solid release dates for Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Galaxy. As if that weren't enough, they're also reporting that Nintendo will have some big hardware news for us.
Maybe they're going to reveal a headset add-on for the Wiimote? As for the other rumors, it's a safe bet that Nintendo will be giving us the goods on release dates for its hottest games this year, already providing us a release date for one of this year's most anticipated games, but the Mario Kart news is anyone's guess. It would make sense for Nintendo to bring a Mario Kart game to the Wii, but is the timing right?

Malaga midfielder Manuel Iturra says there are no excuses for his team's recent La Liga form after losses in successive home games.
Despite having qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League, Los Blanquiazules have struggled domestically with defeats to Rayo Vallecano and Real Sociedad, but Iturra feels tiredness is not to blame.
"When you are beaten then for me it is because the other team was better, so to look for explanations such as tiredness makes no sense," he told AS.
"I don't want to seek excuses because we didn't expect to get no points from the last two home games against teams that, on paper, we should have beaten.
"However, after the Champions League games we need to rest from the travelling and be ready to play in La Liga, but it's no justification."
Even so, the Chilean was at a loss to explain the 2-1 loss to Real Sociedad at the weekend.
"A goal after just 47 seconds and then one after a deflection off one of our players did not help, but we now have a week to work on things and analyse where we went wrong," he concluded.

"Awesome Co-workers, Horrible Technology "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I worked at SoftLayer full-time (less than a year)
Really awesome co-workers and free snacks (sodas, junk food, orange juice, etc)
Interface team is forced to use the slow and horrible API which was built upon the horrible in-house ORM, resulting in a poor work environment, having to make too many design and user experience sacrifices, which results in a slow and sub-par product.
Middle management needs to be more vocal to upper management about the issues developers face. Issues are raised and even after 8 months there's no response.
Managers need to be more forceful and call out other teams on their crappy code instead of telling their own to find a way to work around major issues.

"Good for starting out... but that's about it "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I worked at SoftLayer
Pros1) good learning environment
2) training modules to acclimate us to the types of issues we would commonly see
3) OT was just about always offered if we wanted itCons1) pay was incredibly low. I came in with several years of experience, but was treated as if I was brand new, and was consistently called "cocky" for not asking for help for things I knew how to do.
2) male dominated culture, with no reason to change it in the datacenters. Females are treated weird... sometimes in a good way, but mostly in a bad way.
3) I heard lots of complaints from many different techs that had been promoted, but never received the accompanying pay increases. Job promotions were routinely pushed off until techs were ready to quit over things that had been promised, and never fulfilled.Advice to ManagementAdviceBe honest with the employees. If you promise people a set course for a promotion, don't turn it around and get mad at them for completing their roles, and expecting you to live up to your side of the bargain. Be more understanding that you're starting techs off at a very low pay, and that if you're expecting to keep talent, that talent has to be paid for.

"The "Challenging But Not Overwhelming" mantra is pretty accurate. "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at SoftLayer
ProsSoftLayer is full of opportunities. Sometimes those opportunities aren't very clear, but the most ambitious employees find ways to excel in a challenging work environment. From an infrastructure perspective, the company was built to completely change the game in web hosting, and the amazing growth over the past few years is a testament to that innovation. The people here are some of the best folks on the planet to work with, and I feel very valued as an employee.
ConsSoftLayer was born with a "startup culture," and that can seem very protected and closed off, especially if employees don't have opportunities to build relationships that will make them feel "in."
Advice to ManagementAdviceI think the biggest key is to visit employees in all of the offices. Given the "con" listed above, employees in every location want opportunities to build relationships with senior management. The more communication lower-level employees get from senior management, the more those employees will feel like part of the team.

While most energy-bar companies deserve praise for their ecofriendly practices, it can be even better for the planet--and your taste buds--to make your own. Here's a high-protein recipe from Jonathan Miller, cofounder of ElementBars.com, a Web site that lets visitors create and buy custom energy bars.
High-Protein Energy Bars
1 cup steel-cut oats 3/4 cup yogurt 1/4 cup almond or peanut butter 3/4 cup applesauce 1/4 cup honey 2 tablespoons vanilla extract 1 cup rolled oats 1/3 cup flaxseed meal 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1/2 tablespoon nutmeg 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 1/2 cups soy or whey protein powder 1 cup raisins or other dried fruit, chopped
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a glass pan with nonstick spray, and line a cookie sheet with wax paper. In a medium-size pot, heat 4 cups of water and boil the steel-cut oats for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium-size bowl, mix the yogurt, almond or peanut butter, applesauce, honey, and vanilla until the nut butter is evenly dispersed. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and protein powder, making sure there are no clumps. When the steel-cut oats have finished cooking, add them to the large bowl along with the chopped fruit and the yogurt-applesauce mixture. Stir until the fruit is evenly distributed.
Spread the dough into the glass pan with a silicon spatula coated with nonstick spray and bake it for 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and cut into 9 to 12 bars. Transfer the bars to the cookie sheet and bake for another 22 minutes, or until they're golden brown. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or refrigerate for up to 2 months.
