from Canada.com,
The lineup was a two-hour wait from back to front, but still not enough time for Colleen Zaworski to compose herself at the sight of big Georges Laraque. Tears welled in her eyes as she told the fan favourite that the Edmonton Oilers made a mistake not re-signing him and how the community will miss him and his big smile. ''Biggest mistake since (trading) Wayne Gretzky,'' added Zaworski, trying to gather her kids and leave before more tears started to flow. ''We feel like we're losing our best friend ... . He's their idol.''continued

Sellout Streak In Danger
by Paul on 07/14/06 at 08:37 AM ET

from Terry Frei of the Denver Post,
Every year, we ask: Is the Avalanche sellout streak, the longest in the four major leagues, about to end? The question was appropriate to an unprecedented degree a year ago, with the NHL coming off a dark season and the Avalanche suddenly minus Peter Forsberg and Adam Foote. It is even more pertinent now, with Alex Tanguay, Rob Blake and Dan Hinote also gone and other signs pointing to a possible deterioration of the on-ice product. The gloomy prognosis could turn out to be wrong, of course, and as the re-signings of Joe Sakic and the others attest, it's not as if the Avalanche completely turtled on the contract front and let everyone depart. But the streak is in danger.continued

from the Boston Herald,
It seems Bruins top draft pick Phil Kessel, the No. 5-overall selection in last month's NHL draft, will be playing at least one more year of college hockey at Minnesota. According to a St. Paul Pioneer Press report yesterday, the 18-year-old center told the Gophers coaches Monday he will be returning to school in the fall, not turning pro. Bruins assistant general manager Jeff Gorton was neither surprised nor bothered by the report, though he said he believes Kessel's final decision for next season hasn't yet been made. "We're sort of trying to figure out what's going on," Gorton said. "At this point, he may go back, yeah. My understanding is he's up in the air and has not decided what he wants to do...."read on

Eric Lindros is in the same boat as Michael Peca, but is rowing at a different speed. Both unrestricted free agents want to resume their careers with the Toronto Maple Leafs, but while Peca has exhibited patience in dealing with general manager John Ferguson, Lindros has been seriously entertaining a change of address. According to National Hockey League sources, Lindros has made visits to Dallas to listen to a pitch from Stars management and to Edmonton to discuss a possible future with the Oilers. The New York Islanders also are believed to have interest in No. 88.continued

Comments (0)
from the Colorado Avalanche,
The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today that the team has agreed to terms with goaltender Peter Budaj and forward Cody McCormick. Budaj agreed to a three-year contract with the Avs. The 23-year old appeared in 34 games in goal last season, one shy of the franchise rookie record set by Mario Gosselin in 1984-85. Budaj tied for sixth among all NHL rookies with 14 wins, posting a 14-10-6 record. "Peter Budaj showed tremendous ability last season," said Avalanche Executive Vice President and General Manager Francois Giguere. "Our hockey staff is convinced that he will be a strong asset for our team for years to come. Along with Jose Theodore, we believe they will be one of the top goaltending tandems in the NHL heading into the 2006-07 season."

We're Talking About Practice
by Paul on 07/13/06 at 06:17 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Let's Play Hockey,
Do we really think that athletes in other sports can improve from practice — and, somehow this doesn't work in hockey? How about a team basketball practice where they stop the team drills periodically, and go off to the six baskets in the gym and work on free throws or jump shots for 10 minutes? Then, they come together again and resume team practice. Can't we do that in hockey? If we had stations — four extra portable nets or targets, each one designated in advance for a particular kind of shooting practice — would players not improve from 100 extra reps per practice? If we broke up for five minutes and worked on various stickhandling drills while moving the feet, would this not make us better stickhandlers?more

Web services—the foundation of service-oriented architecture (SOA)—are self-contained, modular applications that one can describe, publish, locate, and invoke over a network. Web services operate at a level of abstraction similar to the Internet. They are agnostic to operating system, hardware platform, communication protocol, or programming language and have blurred the boundaries between network devices, security products, applications, and other IT assets within an enterprise. Almost every IT asset now advertises its interface as a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) interface ready for SOAP/XML messaging. Using SOAP for system-to-system messaging and WSDL for interface description, IT professionals now have unprecedented flexibility in integrating IT assets across internal and external corporate domains. It is this flexibility of distributed computing provided by Web services that makes exception handling complex within a service-oriented architecture. In this article, we will explore exception handling and testing techniques, and their impact on Web services-based SOA.
Web services exceptions
An exception is shorthand for "exceptional event," defined as follows by the Java Tutorial: An exception is an event, which occurs during the execution of a program that disrupts the normal flow of the program's instructions.
Exceptions can happen when an error occurs in a method or a Web services operation. The error can be caused by program flaws or a lack of system resources. Typical problems include:
- User input errors, where a user inadvertently types incorrect characters
- Physical limitations, where a disk fills up or runs out of available memory
- Device errors, where the hardware doesn't behave as expected, such as an unenabled portable USB key
- Network errors, where an application server tries to connect to a remote database using Java Database Connectivity
The calling program or consumer must be notified that an error occurred in the invoked method or producer. This is where sophisticated, programmatic exception handling comes into play, with exceptions bubbled to the calling programs to enable recovery from the exception. Typically, an astute programmer anticipates exceptions and programmatically handles them; however, not all exceptions can be anticipated, and not all exceptions are recoverable. If an exception handler is not found, the runtime system can terminate and act unreliably.
Programming platforms such as Java and .Net have extensive and sophisticated exception handling capabilities. Developers can construct a rich set of error handling patterns using conditional if-then-else constructs and try-catch-finally blocks. Using such exception handling patterns, developers can reduce the risk of drastic program crashes or abrupt, unanticipated program termination and add robustness to an application.
Within a Web services-based distributed architecture, exception handling must address additional requirements. Exceptions now have to be communicated independent of operating systems, programming languages, and applications. The exceptions must be presented to the consumer such that they are readily interpreted, and if the exception is recoverable, the consumer can seamlessly respond to the exception thrown by a Web services producer that may be located anywhere within, or external to, the corporate IT boundaries. The communication of such exceptions must occur with corporate security in mind as well. If exceptions are not handled rigorously, carefully, and deliberately, a producer Web service runs the risk of exposing details of internal IT assets to the consumer or leaking sensitive corporate information in stack traces.
Bottom line: For externally facing Web services exposed to a large number of public consumers, only recoverable exceptions should be communicated. All other exceptions should be controlled, cleansed, or suppressed.
Test setup
To explore exception handling for Web services, we built a simple Java class with numerous similar methods that divide two numbers. The methods differed in their ability to handle exceptions, starting with a method that completely lacked exception handling to one that had explicit exception handling constructs for many exception scenarios. As shown in Figure 1, we used the following components for setting up exception handling tests:
- BEA WebLogic Portal 9.2 is an application server for Java-based application development. The installer includes BEA Workshop for WebLogic Platform, an IDE for rapidly building Web services. We chose to use WebLogic because of our familiarity with the product, its popularity across the industry, and its ease-of-use in building Web services.
- Crosscheck Networks SOAPSonar is a Web services testing client that consumes a WSDL and generates functional, performance, interoperability, and vulnerability tests for a target Web service.
In the subsequent sections, we will explore the different exception handling techniques and the impact of calling the methods remotely from Web services clients such as SOAPSonar, and then look at how they behave under positive and negative tests as well as harsh boundary condition tests generated from SOAPSonar.
Naked Web service
Our first Web service has no protection against adverse conditions. The underlying method, as shown in Listing 1, takes in a couple of double inputs, divides the dividend by the divisor, and returns a resultant double value.
Listing 1. Naked Java method, nakedDivide(…) without exception handling
package mathservice;
import javax.jws.*;
public class DivideWS {
public double nakedDivide(double dividend, double divisor)
return dividend/divisor;
Test results: A few positive and negative tests quickly reveal the behavior of the nakedDivide(…)
Web method:
- Positive tests show that the Web service divides the input numbers as expected
- When a zero divisor is entered, the application server handles it elegantly and returns an INF value
- If nothing is entered in the dividend, or divisor, a detailed stack trace with list information about the XML processing internal, such as serializer, SOAP server protocol handler, and implementation platform is exposed
In general, stack trace information is useless to the Web services consumer; there isn't much the consumer can do to recover from such a generic and verbose exception. It's not as if a simple set of document return codes have been sent to the client for an elegant recovery from a divide-by-zero or null-value exception. Not only is the stack trace information sent to the client useless and programmatically in-actionable, it also exposes a serious risk of passing implementation details to external consumers that may be used for further exploits.
Defensive Web service
The defensive Web service defensiveDivide(…)
, as shown in Listing 2, builds on the previous method nakedDivide(…)
by adding a simple check to see whether the divisor is zero. This ensures that a divide-by-zero error does not occur. The method returns 0 if the divisor is zero so the calling program can recover from an inappropriate zero divisor input. In this method, the programmer has anticipated a boundary condition and defensively coded to handle it.
Listing 2. Defensive Java method, defensiveDivide(…) with divisor !=0 check
public double defensiveDivide(double dividend, double divisor)
if (divisor != 0)
return dividend/divisor;
return 0;
Test results: A few positive and negative tests quickly reveal the behavior of the defensiveDivide(…)
Web method:
- Positive tests show that the Web service divides the input numbers as expected
- When a zero divisor is entered, unlike
, which returns an INF value for infinity after attempting the divide,defensiveDivide(…)
returns an explicit programmer-defined 0.0 error value without even attempting the divide operation - If nothing is entered in the dividend, or divisor, as in the case of
, a detailed stack trace with list information about the XML processing internal, such as serializer, SOAP server protocol handler, and implementation platform is exposed
The test results show that although the divide-by-zero scenario is properly anticipated and handled, not much is done for defensive error handling beyond that. The programmer, however, makes the defensiveDivide()
more efficient than nakedDivide()
by avoiding a computation with bad data. Anticipation means program efficiency. For non-numeric characters or nulls, the method reveals its internals, much like its naked counterpart. In the following section, the method is tightened for further exception handling.
Container-safe Web service
As shown in Listing 3, the divide method is modified to take in string values as inputs, rather than double values as expected in the previous examples. This enables the developer to programmatically control the appropriateness of the input values, instead of letting the method throw a runtime exception that is handled by the container. Letting the container handle exceptions removes control from the programmer, especially for anticipated edge conditions that the programmer can address.
The string dividend and divisor are first converted to doubles in a try-catch block. If the conversion fails, the catch block catches the exception and returns a zero value. After a successful conversion, the divisor is checked for a zero value and if the value is not zero, the operation successfully occurs.
Listing 3. Container-safe Java method, defensiveStringDivide(…) with string inputs
public double defensiveStringDivide(String dividend, String divisor)
double dDividend;
double dDivisor;
dDividend = Double.parseDouble(dividend);
dDivisor = Double.parseDouble(divisor);
catch (Exception e)
return 0;
if (dDivisor != 0)
return dDividend/dDivisor;
return 0;
Test results: A few positive and negative tests quickly reveal the behavior of the defensiveStringDivide(…)
Web method:
- Positive tests show that the Web service divides the input numbers as expected.
- When a zero divisor is entered, like
, the method behaves elegantly without sending a SOAP fault with stack traces. The method elegantly returns a zero value to the Web services consumer. - If nothing is entered in the dividend or divisor, or a non-numeric character is entered, the method attempts to convert it and fails. The catch block handles the exception and returns a zero value.
The defensiveStringDivide()
method is tighter than both previous methods. This method explicitly protects against arbitrary non-numeric values being entered as inputs. It controls the exception handling and prevents stack traces from being generated from non-numeric inputs. Through defensive coding, the programmer prevents information from leaking via the container's exception handling constructs. Using such defensive techniques lowers the risk of extracting program, parser, and container internals over a Web services channel.
Web services exception handling best practices
Exception handling across distributed systems is complex and challenging and requires significant thought. With SOAP fault constructs available for standard-based fault communication, mechanisms for exception communication and handling are available across program, hardware, and system boundaries. However, with such networks-based fault communication facilities, the burden of properly coding exception handling increases. Without disciplined and deliberate Web services exception handling, one can end up exposing internal component details to external consumers, which, at a minimum, could be a source of embarrassment, or far more significantly, such information leaks can add to corporate liability. Some of the best practices for handling exceptions within an SOA are as follows:
- Only exceptions that can be used by the consumer should be thrown.
- All irrecoverable exceptions for externally facing Web services should be cleansed or suppressed.
- Web services developers should anticipate exceptions and provide proper handling mechanisms for all anticipated exceptions through try-catch and if-then-else type constructs.
- Security administrators should centralize Web services flows by using SOA/Web services gateways so that all stack traces traveling over SOAP are inspected and controlled before SOAP messages leave corporate boundaries. Internal Web services may not have as strict requirements as externally facing Web services in what can be seen in a SOAP fault.
- Web services developers should use a combination of try-catch and if-then-else statements for exception handling. Try-catch should be used as more general-purpose exception handling constructs, where not everything is anticipated. Keep in mind that overuse of try-catch can add a performance hit.
- Rigorous automated boundary condition testing is crucial to anticipate and expose error conditions in a complex and distributed Web services-based SOA.
Java throws a specialized SoapException
, which creates a SOAP fault automatically. A developer can also create a SoapException
and put custom exception codes and additional information in the exception. Using this mechanism, simple error codes can be readily passed by creating a custom SoapException
, instead of putting the burden on the consumer to parse a large, sometimes arbitrary string passed in a general SoapException
Any more tips for Web services exception handling? Post them in the discussion thread below.
Web services are the foundations of modern distributed systems. The widespread use of Web services across network devices, applications, and corporate infrastructure mandates that all IT professionals take responsibility of testing their systems' Web services before and after publishing them to consumers. Developers, QA testers, and network and security engineers are now fully responsible and accountable for ensuring that their Web services are robust, interoperable, scalable, and secure.
Web services exception handling has a significant impact on the quality and reliability of a corporate SOA. Web services developers have to carefully add exception handling to their methods to ensure that the method handles exceptions elegantly. Web services developers have a further responsibility to anticipate and test exceptions that may be getting caught by the container. Letting the container be the catch-all for exceptions is dangerous since it takes information flow control away from the developer and puts it in the hands of the container. In large SOA deployments that have a little bit of everything from .Net, Java, or LAMP and all kinds of containers, it is recommended that information control for SOAP-based exception handling be centralized. This ensures that externally facing Web services do not leak component details and compromise a corporation's strategic SOA initiative.

Another bill that aims to pull welfare from a group of people that need it the most. This bill only hurts those who can't afford the abortion costs, and strengthens the income inequality gap.
it is hypocritical for a government to say that something is legal and then refuse to provide funding for it. I think those kinds of programs shouldn't be run by the government anyway but calls on morality are not the place for government to be. Under the government something should not be considered legal but immoral. If its legal its allowable and fine in the governments eyes.
I oppose this bill. Not only does it disproportionately effect the impoverished, it also adds unnecessary bureaucracy to a simple procedure and creates complications regarding applications of abortions that do not fit established definitions of medically necessary abortion as well as imposing an undue burden on citizens that are victims of selected atrocious acts.

AOL CTO Resigns in Wake of Privacy Breach
AOL CTO Resigns in Wake of Privacy Breach
Scott Ferguson
Posted 2006-08-21
Internal memos disclose that Maureen Govern has resigned as CTO and will be replaced; the company is taking steps to ensure user privacy.
Maureen Govern, chief technology officer at AOL, resigned from the company on Aug. 21, following a disclosure that
AOL accidentally released keyword search data
for roughly 658,000 anonymous users. Govern, who oversaw the division responsible for the data release, will be replaced by John McKinley, who had previously held the job, according to an internal company e-mail written by CEO Jon Miller. eWEEK obtained a copy of the memo along with a second document describing a plan to better secure AOLs users personal information.
"I want to thank Maureen for her hard work during her time with AOL, and we wish her all the best as she pursues new opportunities," Miller wrote in one memo.
A spokesperson for AOL, based in Dulles, Va., declined to comment on the memos.

The announcement that the information about the searches, estimated to equal as many as 20 million queries, had been compromised, was a major embarrassment to AOL, the Internet division of Time Warner.
In the second memo, Miller wrote that the trust between AOLs users and the company has been eroded. "After the great lengths weve taken to build our members trust and be an industry leader on privacy, it was disheartening to see so much good work destroyed by a single act," Miller wrote. Govern had been named CTO in September 2005, replacing McKinley, who became head of AOLs digital services. In addition to Govern, the researcher who posted the data and a supervisor were "discharged" from the company, according to a source familiar with AOLs internal matters. The names of those two employees were not available. In one memo, Miller placed the disclosure blame on employees who "did not exercise good judgment or review their proposal with our privacy team."

to read more about how AOLs mishap could affect privacy legislation.
The memo went on to discuss four different policy steps the company will be taking to ensure that searches stay private. Ted Leonsis, vice chairman of AOL, and Randy Boe, general counsel, will oversee the committee. Other changes will include:
New restrictions on access to databases containing search data.
The development of new systems to ensure that sensitive information is not included in research databases.
New education and awareness training for employees. The data, which has been mirrored on multiple Web sites, represented a random selection of searches conducted from March to May 2006. The announcement that users personal data had been leaked led privacy advocates such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation to file a complaint against AOL with the Federal Trade Commission.

Worldwide WLAN Market Shows Slowing Growth in First Quarter of 2014, According to IDC
29 May 2014
Enterprise WLAN Market Grew 10.3% Year over Year in First Quarter of 2014
FRAMINGHAM, Mass., May 29, 2014 – The combined consumer and enterprise worldwide wireless local area network (WLAN) market segments increased 7.0% year over year in the first quarter of 2014 (1Q14). According to the preliminary results published in the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly WLAN Tracker, the enterprise segment continued to grow at a healthy rate and increased 10.3% over the same period last year. While the pace of the enterprise WLAN market growth has been steadily decreasing over the last several quarters, the market continues to be one of the faster growing networking market segments. The consumer WLAN market also had a stable quarter in 1Q14 and grew 3.8% year over year. The growth in the consumer WLAN space benefited from the ongoing transition from the older 802.11n standard to the newer and faster 802.11ac standard as well as a solid performance in emerging markets.
"WLAN infrastructure continues to be a bright spot in the networking market, with mobility and cloud driving investments and refresh cycles across geographies and verticals," said Rohit Mehra, Vice President, Network Infrastructure, at IDC. "While a stabilizing growth rate suggests the market maturing, new vertical-specific use cases and the ramping adoption of the emerging 802.11ac standard will fuel sustained growth in the enterprise WLAN market for the foreseeable future."
From a geographic perspective, the enterprise WLAN market performed especially well in Latin America with its 33.3% year-over-year growth in 1Q14. Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region followed with a 12.1% year-over-year increase. Asia/Pacific grew just under 10% at 9.9% year over year and North America grew below the overall market level at 7.7% year over year.
"Although some of the leading vendors experienced flattening revenues in the first quarter, growth in the worldwide enterprise WLAN market will remain strong as technological evolutions drive network upgrades as well as greenfield deployments," said Petr Jirovsky, Research Manager, Worldwide Networking Trackers.
Key Enterprise WLAN Vendor Updates
- Cisco's 1Q14 worldwide enterprise WLAN revenue was flat year over year and declined -11.6% quarter over quarter due to typical seasonality. Cisco was particularly impacted by relative weakness in the Service Provider vertical in the Asia/Pacific region, which declined -16.8% year over year. Cisco's worldwide market share stands at 47.9% in 1Q14, down from 48.4% in 4Q13 and 52.8% in 1Q13.
- Aruba (excluding its OEM business) had a very strong quarter in 1Q14 and revenue increased 25.4% year over year and 8.4% sequentially on strength across its product portfolio, including the 802.11ac and Aruba Instant access points. Aruba's market share increased to 11.9% of the enterprise WLAN market, up from the 9.8% in 4Q13 and 10.5% in 1Q13.
- Ruckus also handily outperformed the overall enterprise WLAN market after growing 36.4% year over year and 4.1% quarter over quarter in 1Q14. Ruckus now accounts for 6.7% of the overall market, up from 5.4% in 1Q13.
- HP's 1Q14 revenue underperformed the overall market and decreased -10.5% year over year and slipped below $50 million for the quarter. As a result, HP's market share dropped to 4.4% of the market from 5.4% last quarter.

| Mitt Romney: "I Like Being Able To Fire People"* »
January 09, 2012
The Daily DOOMI ring in the new year by bringing in a freighter full of DOOM, a ship packed to the gunwales with gloom, disaster, perfidy, and despair. I debated posting my DOOM backlog that I gathered over the Christmas break, but this would have led to a post roughly the length of Anna Karenina, so I decided to choose only the DOOMiest morsels to pass along. Greece's default has been inevitable for some time now, and the last grains of sand may be running through the hourglass. One of the biggest surprises to me of the Euro crisis is how long a situation can persist in crisis mode: I seriously miscalculated the willingness of the EU's political class to ignore the catastrophe unfolding in front of them, and the willingness of the citizens of the Eurozone countries to muddle through from day to day. Greece's downfall will either be the beginning of the end, or simply the end of the beginning. The WSJ does a video series called Europe At the Brink that I recommend to everyone who wants some background on how Europe got itself into this mess. The idea that financial self-interest would prevent nations from going to war is silly, by the way. Or, rather, that nations can always clearly see their own self-interest (financial or otherwise) is silly. Every war ever fought in the history of humankind was caused by people acting in what they assumed was their own self-interest. Greece is the perfect example: they entered the Eurozone assuming that it would drive their entrance into a first-world economy and style of living. But the problem was (and remains) that countries like Greece and Portugal are not like mature industrialized northern economies like Germany. A Greek word, ethos, describes the problem: the Greek ethos regarding work and productivity does not match that of their northern neighbors. What Greece really got for entering the Eurozone was poverty and ruin. Countries have had wars -- either civil or foreign -- over much less. The WSJ video shows how interconnected modern financial markets really are. The US real-estate meltdown caused ripples that spread out and magnified existing faultlines elsewhere, but it could have been something else: the modern financial system has so many structural weaknesses that it was only a matter of time before something caused a catastrophe. When the cheese runs out, the rats start eating each other. School districts are suing the states to force them to spend more money on the schools. Where is this extra money supposed to come from? From us, the pack-mules in the private sector, of course. I have said it many times: our public school system is a jobs program for adults, not an educational system for children. (The scandal isn't that countries like South Korea can educate their kids better than we can educate ours; the real scandal is that they do it for far less money.) Good news: you win the lottery and the state sends you a big check. Bad news: You live in Illinois and the lottery-winnings check bounces. Illinois is now so hard up theyre stiffing lottery winners. Illinois: the state where even gambling winnings cant be paid out on time. (The official line is that the checks were simply "returned" and didn't bounce, but you just try using that one on your local grocery store sometime and see how far you get.) Beware the happy talk about holiday retail sales. If you cant sell stuff at a profit, then selling more stuff isnt really doing you any good. Barnes and Noble may be following Borders into bankruptcy. As an avid reader, I'm not so sure how happy I am at the problems traditional booksellers are having these days. I love my Kindle and honestly believe that e-readers are well on the way to replacing the paper book, but...there is still a part of me that loves the artifact of the paper book. The weight of it, the physicality of it, the feel of the paper on the fingers. (Also: if you cant find a way to make a profit off of $7 billion a year in revenue, you probably deserve to go bankrupt.) Illinois: ill and annoyed. Dont take my Kodachrome away. Two lessons: nothing is forever, and pension promises are only valid so long as the entity promising to pay them remains solvent. Best Buy may be on the way to bankruptcy. Couldnt happen to a more deserving retail chain, frankly -- their whole operation verges on highway robbery for many items. Just price out an HDMI cable at one of their stores. Then laugh in bitter hilarity, and go to Amazon where you can buy the same HDMI cable for about eight bucks. The "China boosters" like Teh Krugman, Tom Friedman, and many in the investing community have been trumpeting the ascendance of China for a decade now. But skeptics like me have been pointing out that China faces demographic pressures even more extreme than our own "Boomer bulge": they'll get old before they get rich. This news doesn't really please me -- the Chinese people deserve their share of success -- but their government has a long and ignoble history of almost bringing China to success, but not quite succeeding. Just look at the people in the picture in the linked article: I don't wish for China to fail, because China's failure means misery to people like this, people who have had enough misery in their lives. I simply wish for China to be a better country, both for the world and for its own citizens. Boeing laying off 800 in the closure of their Wichita plant. This is the toughest kind of situation that can face many cities: the closure of a major employer with nothing of equal scale to take its place. Many displaced workers either face retraining into a different trade, or relocation to work in the same industry elsewhere. Either way, it's an expensive and uncertain proposition. When almost everyone is poor, it doesn't foster kindness and civility; more often, it leads to insularity, selfishness, and suspicion. When a society becomes more wealthy, it also often becomes kinder. When we have enough for our own needs, we become more cognizant of the needs of others. Every day we see large numbers in reference to the federal budget, the federal deficit, the EU's financial troubles -- you name it. But just how large is this five-year increase of 277,5000 employees in the federal workforce? The powers of the Fed have always been overrated, but now the Fed's limitations are becoming obvious even to average taxpayers. It's going to be a tough world out there for investors for the next couple of decades. The days of easy 10-15% returns are long gone, and they shan't be coming back again soon. So where does a return-seeking investor turn? Equities are going to be a better bet than bonds (probably), but that doesn't mean they're going to do door-buster business. I think that equity returns in the neighborhood of 5-8% will come to seem pretty good. Investors are flocking back to good old dividend stocks as other sources of income dry up, and I expect this trend to continue -- the good old "widows and orphans" investments are going to become pretty mainstream in the years ahead. The recent uptick in jobs numbers is welcome, but the unemployment problem is far from solved. Labor-force participation is still at historic lows even as the official jobless rate shrinks, and that's the statistic that should scare you -- even as the US population goes up, participation in the labor force is going down. That's not good news. | Recent Comments

Ceramic Space Heater Mary Louise from Chicago, IL– Verified Buyer I have never tried a ceramic space heater, but what I like about it is not hot to the touch. There are several settings for amount of heat and there is also an auto reset when the room starts to cool off, the heater kicks on. Don't expect it to happen quickly, however. I thought something might be wrong with that feature, but it eventually kicks back on. I tried this in a closed room. This unit can also be used just as a fan, so it serves dual purpose. For as small as it is, it puts out a lot of heat. I will definitely use it in the en suite bath this winter. Right now it has been useful while we wait for out building heat to get turned on. I would recommend based on design and price. |
I purchased mine before the weather turned cold! Susan C from Bel Air, MD– Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer I already owned one of these ceramic heaters and it worked perfectly for keeping us toasty in the colder months. Last year I wanted to purchase another, but the stores were sold out. I was literally carrying this thing from the bedroom, to the kitchen and to the office in the basement. So I got wise and purchased 2 more before the weather turned cold! I love the thermostat feature on this heater! I also use the fan feature and while it can't replace an ordinary fan, it works when a small room might get too hot. |
Great Product MICHELLE from Plainville, MA– Verified Buyer Great space heater works perfect under my desk since it's located in a warehouse, highly recommended. |
Small but Powerful! Maria from Staten Island, NY– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer So so glad I found this fabulous heater. It works beautifully in my bathroom. Heats up fast. I may buy another one. Thank you. |
Pefect Julie from Dumont, NJ– Verified Buyer Its the perfect little space heater, gives off good heat. My husband and I use it in the basement where its cooler and it warms us both. |
Great Product and Matches description. Sylvie from Plymouth, MA– Verified Buyer Not too loud for the size. Does not burn. Looks nice, feels safe and does the job! |
The product indeed matched the description Heidi from NEW YORK, NY– Verified Buyer Small heater works well in drafty room and have no complaints |
Great charles from bethalto, IL– Verified Buyer– Top 100 Reviewer worked well and put out plenty of heat this winter great buy |
Heater Alex from NOvi, MI– Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer Works great! Not sure what else to write about this product, but wayfair requires more then two words to post reviews. |
Nice affordable heater. Todd from California– Verified Buyer This is a nice compact heater to fit under a desk or whatever. The fan does a better job pushing out the heat farther than the heat dishes on the market. There are 2 setting dials. There isnt much difference between the 1 and the 2 on the left dial. The right dial doesnt allow you to change the amount of heat coming out, but the time interval between automatically switching on and off (or staying constantly on). |

Well Hello my name is Project and i've been playing shen for some time now and have found him to be one heck of a champion great skills , great support and pretty flexible in almost all aspects of the game , recently we received Zed , a new ninja champion to duel against our old ninja tank , i wanted to ask Riot if they could work on a Shen visual upgrade to match his new ninja opponent.
Ya, Shen is kinda... well I don't want to say ugly, but he is out of proportion. For example, his arms don't match his body in size and it just looks weird now. Of course, you could just get Warlord Shen, but I don't really think that people should have to buy a skin to have the best results.

How long does Cam Newton get a pass?
Posted 12 November 2012 - 12:21 PM
We can't even run the friggin ball! All of a sudden DWill and Stew are garbage too?!? Pffffft.
Yes Cam Newton gets a pass, A BIG PASS.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 12:22 PM
game manager with the freedom to run when he sees a hole.
the problem is, i think he's a gunslinger. i love gunslingers...when it works. i hate game managers...unless it's necessary. gunslingers don't always fit into the game manger mold anymore than game managers can fit into the gunslinger mindset.
Legit concern. Henning tried that with Delhomme in early 2005 and the results were awful. Once they let him go back to being what he naturally was, things got better.
Understand the notion. Just not sure it can work.

A young QB's best friend is a running game.
The Panthers have neither.
Some of it he brings on himself, he does not get stepping into the pocket and if it's not there throw it away...or if you are going to run run...don't think about it...do it.
My biggest concern with him is he seems very detached from his team mates, very detached from his coaches and this isn't a 'me' game. A strong coach would not tolerate that. That too, is part of the problem. Things seldom go the way they are suppose to in life, pick yourself up, put your big boy pants on and move forward. I do not know if this is something that can be taught or not.
Speaking honestly, and this pains me as I wanted him here, I have not one belief that would ever make a play to help get the Panthers in that game yesterday.
He gets his rookie contract and if he is no better, in the Not For Long League, the Panthers will move on.
I trust the new GM will hire the coach to do the evaluations.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 12:39 PM
Even then, Peyton and Eli Manning had their regressive years in their 4th seasons.Three years just like any other rookie. If he doesn't show improvement by then, we move on.
I mean if Cam actually regresses further next season then maybe you start thinking about other options, but if he has a season like this season then you continue to develop him into his fourth year and maybe bring in some competition at that point.
And although he isn't playing elite level QB yet, he isn't playing like absolute garbage either. He is still likely to have 20+ total TDs (passing and rushing) and complete @60% of his passes. Truth be told he has just been pretty average this year. But IMO he hasn't been bad enough to start doing a bunch of had wringing over. YET.

Cam exploded last year and held up a team with a horrible defense. This year? Teams have adjusted and the PANTHERS (not just Cam, but yea he's a part of it) have not adjusted. They are paying almost 90 million to RBs they don't use. The offensive protection is pathetic, and the QB and receivers are extremely inconsistent.
If you want to win in the NFL, you need to run an NFL offense. We are NOT running one. Cam isn't getting a pass, he makes some bone-headed throws, and his mechanics are off. But if you can't see the big picture you're a bit lost here. We have no base run game at all. Even New England with Tom Brady can throw the ball 50 times, but even they have a base run game. Its pathetic coaching.
And I if you cannot protect the QB, you WILL NOT WIN. Period. Did Cam hold on too long a times? He sure did, but go back and watch that game. There are times where he never even has a shot in hell. Its brutal. The entire offense needs to be shut down and built back up. We will never win with the current scheme they are running.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 02:41 PM
When you look at the things that have changed from our top 5 offense of last year vs. this year, the top thing is the scheme and the plays. Not the QB.
Nobody thinks that Stewart and Williams suddenly started sucking because they only get 68 yards. That would be a silly thing to think, when it's so obvious it's the result of the playcalling. And it's equally silly to blame it on Cam.

Torun : Michelin's recommendations
Hidden behind its ramparts on the right bank of the River Vistula, Torun gives an impression of serenity yet, thanks to its student population, it is a lively place. Once an important Hanseatic port, its warehouses full of merchandise, it is proud to have been the birthplace of Copernicus. Hotels, restaurants, cafés and theatres all contribute to its appeal, not to mention the rich architectural heritage evident around Staromiejski Square, which earned it Unesco World Heritage site status in 1997.

There are 3 ways to connect solar panels; parallel, series, and a combination of parallel and series. The first way I am going to talk about is parallel because this is probably the most common way that panels will be connected. For this example I am showing you connecting panels that are for a 12 volt system. This is how the panels that I have built in my other instructables are connected, and feed my solar charge controller.
In this first image there are 3 solar panels. If you look at the arrows along the white and red lines they are showing the direction of flow. The white line is the negative connection, all 3 panel negative wires are just simply tied together and to the wire that runs back to the negative connection on the charge controller.
The red line is the positive connection to the panels. You will see a symbol that looks like a triangle pointing down at a horizontal line. That symbol is for a diode, also known as a blocking diode. What this diode is doing is only allowing the positive electrons to flow in only one direction. When looking at this symbol the triangle points in the direction of flow, when looking at the diode in your hand there should be a colored line around one end of it. This line represents the line in the symbol that the triangle is pointing to. The non-colored end would be the "in" side, and the end with the colored line around it would be the "out" side. By installing these diodes on each panel it stops the electrons from going back into other panels. Diodes also use up a small amount of voltage, so don't go crazy and put to many in or you will to low to use.
If you look below the panel to the left you can follow the red arrows from the panel down and make a right turn to the diode. Then they continue through the diode and down the line to the end where they would be connected to a solar charge controller.
What type of circuit would you need to build in order to be able to switch the panels from series to parallel? I'm going to have 2 100 watt 12 volt panels. I'm planning to add an AC inverter to supply power to the house which requires them to be in a series for 24 volts. But, I already use one panel with a 12 volt back up battery system that I want to keep as-is, which means I'll need to be able to switch them to parallel to provide 12 volts to the charge controller/batteries.
Thanks for the clear explanation.
I was wondering, I don't use a lot of diodes and I have some IN4001, IN4002 and IN4003 diodes lying around (I think the only difference is the voltage). Are these sufficient?
I have a 5W PV Solar Power Panel 12V Battery Charger Boat Marine, 5Watt Trickle Charge CAR and 12V KIT Offer ISTA-BREEZE® i-500 Small WIND GENERATOR + Charge Controller.
Will this be sufficient to run 15 to 20 KwH household per day?
no. you need a lot more generation and storage before you even come close to your power needs. if you are using 20 KwH per day then you need to be producing more than that amount and store it so you have power at night.
my GTI has MPPT function. Is there any lost when some of panel is shaded if I dont have diode in panel
depending on the quality of the MPPT it may have a diode internally. you would have to do some research to know for sure.
putting them in parallel lets you keep the voltage the same and increase the amperage. if you have a 12v system, and two 12v panels that produce 1 amp in series you will have 24v at 1 amp. if you put those panels in parallel you would get 12v at 2 amps. amperage is what pushes power into a battery or powers a system of some kind.
Bypass diode serves the similar purpose to blocking diode. It protects the shadowed cell from reverse current
yes, that is correct. if you have taken any electrical training this is something that you should be learning in at the beginning of your training, or online. that website gives you a good start into series and parallel circuits.
The diode will drop about .6 volts. Multiply this times the maximum current from the panel to get the wattage dissipated by the diode. So if you have 10 amps from the panel, it would be 6 watts for the diode. Then the diode should be rated for the maximum panel output voltage.
I'm sure many will find this helpful.
