My International Experience trip to Shanghai, Nanjing, and Beijing was extremely educational and informative. Hearing from Chinese citizens working in the financial sector and experiencing daily life in the country adds important perspectives to what I have read in the press. I've summarized some of my final impressions below:
Read MoreGreetings from China! I arrived in Shanghai a week ago on my International Experience. I traveled from Shanghai's Pudong Airport on a recently-built 300 km/hr Maglev train and soon encountered an old-fashioned taxi scam. I had arrived at the Maglev station with clear instructions about what to do: bypass those people who verbally offered me a taxi and head straight to the official taxi line. I assumed I probably wouldn't get a cabbie who would try to rip me off. After waiting in line for a little bit, I got a cabbie who tried to rip me off.
Read MoreBettina is a fellow classmate on my trip to China and had the following dispatch from Shanghai: Nǐhǎo from Shanghai! My name is Bettina and I am a first-year student at the Yale School of Management. Paul kindly agreed to let me "guest post" on his blog as we travel together in China for our International Experience Trip. Like many of my classmates on this excursion, this is my first visit to China. In fact, it is my first visit to Asia. Our ten day course began in Shanghai.
Read MoreNew Haven (along with the rest of the Northeast) has experienced a mild winter so far. We got a dusting of snow today, which the rain is now washing away. In fact, we have only experienced about two true snowstorms, one of which occurred before Halloween.
Read MoreFirst, I want to apologize to those reading this post for information about the Yale School of Management Synchronized Swimming Club, because as of this writing no such club exists. Instead, this post is about the Integrated Curriculum.
Read MoreI pulled together some numbers that are illustrative of my time at the Yale School of Management so far: 0. The number of minutes I have driven a car while at Yale. As a lifelong Southern Californian, I have spent a great deal of life in my car. I drove one to and from work. I was accepted to Yale while I was in my car. But in New Haven, I haven't had much of a need for one. By walking, taking the Yale Shuttle, and hitching rides with friends, I don't find much need for a car.

This chapter introduces WebLogic Server clusters, groups of WebLogic Server server instances running simultaneously and working together to provide increased scalability and reliability.
This chapter includes the following sections:
A WebLogic Server cluster consists of multiple WebLogic Server server instances running simultaneously and working together to provide increased scalability and reliability. A cluster appears to clients to be a single WebLogic Server instance. The server instances that constitute a cluster can run on the same machine, or be located on different machines. You can increase a cluster's capacity by adding additional server instances to the cluster on an existing machine, or you can add machines to the cluster to host the incremental server instances. Each server instance in a cluster must run the same version of WebLogic Server.
A cluster is part of a particular WebLogic Server domain.
A domain is an interrelated set of WebLogic Server resources that are managed as a unit. A domain includes one or more WebLogic Server instances, which can be clustered, non-clustered, or a combination of clustered and non-clustered instances. A domain can include multiple clusters. A domain also contains the application components deployed in the domain, and the resources and services required by those application components and the server instances in the domain. Examples of the resources and services used by applications and server instances include machine definitions, optional network channels, connectors, and startup classes.
You can use a variety of criteria for organizing WebLogic Server instances into domains. For instance, you might choose to allocate resources to multiple domains based on logical divisions of the hosted application, geographical considerations, or the number or complexity of the resources under management. For additional information about domains see Understanding Domain Configuration for Oracle WebLogic Server.
In each domain, one WebLogic Server instance acts as the Administration Server—the server instance which configures, manages, and monitors all other server instances and resources in the domain. Each Administration Server manages one domain only. If a domain contains multiple clusters, each cluster in the domain has the same Administration Server. All server instances in a cluster must reside in the same domain; you cannot "split" a cluster over multiple domains. Similarly, you cannot share a configured resource or subsystem between domains.
Clustered WebLogic Server instances behave similarly to non-clustered instances, except that they provide failover and load balancing. The process and tools used to configure clustered WebLogic Server instances are the same as those used to configure non-clustered instances. However, to achieve the load balancing and failover benefits that clustering enables, you must adhere to certain guidelines for cluster configuration.
A WebLogic Server cluster provides these benefits:
The capacity of an application deployed on a WebLogic Server cluster can be increased dynamically to meet demand. You can add server instances to a cluster without interruption of service—the application continues to run without impact to clients and end users.
In a WebLogic Server cluster, application processing can continue when a server instance fails. You "cluster" application components by deploying them on multiple server instances in the cluster—so, if a server instance on which a component is running fails, another server instance on which that component is deployed can continue application processing.
This section defines, in non-technical terms, the key clustering capabilities that enable scalability and high availability.
Application Failover
Simply put, failover means that when an application component doing a particular "job"—some set of processing tasks—becomes unavailable for any reason, a copy of the failed object finishes the job.
WebLogic Server supports automatic and manual migration of a clustered server instance from one machine to another. A Managed Server that can be migrated is referred to as a migratable server. This feature is designed for environments with requirements for high availability.
Load Balancing
Load balancing is the even distribution of jobs and associated communications across the computing and networking resources in your environment.
A clustered application or application component is one that is available on multiple WebLogic Server instances in a cluster. If an object is clustered, failover and load balancing for that object is available. Deploy objects homogeneously—to every server instance in your cluster—to simplify cluster administration, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Web applications can consist of different types of objects, including Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs), servlets, and Java Server Pages (JSPs). Each object type has a unique set of behaviors related to control, invocation, and how it functions within an application. For this reason, the methods that WebLogic Server uses to support clustering—and hence to provide load balancing and failover—can vary for different types of objects. The following types of objects can be clustered in a WebLogic Server deployment:
Remote Method Invocation (RMI) objects
Java Messaging Service (JMS) destinations
Coherence servers
Timer services
The following APIs and internal services cannot be clustered in WebLogic Server:
File services including file shares

The return back to our school routine after the winter holidays felt hard this year. After two weeks home, most of which was spent in our pajamas since we all had a bug, getting back to the get up and go was tough. It has been made even tougher by all the wintry weather around here, causing our return to be more stop and go then smooth sailing. I don't know if it is the stop and go or all the added winter gear but there has been a slip back into forgetting stuff at school. So to help I went back and made the Bee another reminder tag for her backpack. I originally made one for her in the Fall when school first started. She was having a hard time getting into the routine of first grade and the reminder tag on her backpack really seemed to help. It was mostly her water cup or her lunch box that would get left behind in her locker, so having the tag on her book bag was sort of like a little checklist of what was supposed to go in before the trip home. Her first book bag bit the dust and I learned my lesson that a good backpack is worth the investment. So now with what is hopefully a better backpack, I made her a new tag in hopes that the reminder will help again.
Since I figured this is probably a pretty common problem I thought I would share the tag design for anyone else who wants a copy. All you have to do is follow the link below, either print right from the document or download a copy to print later. Cut out both sides of the tag and glue the tags back to back with a glue stick. With a hole puncher make a hole. Then have your child write their name and class and decorate their tag however they want. If your child is as hard on their backpack as mine is you might want to laminate the tag. I have had great luck with those non-heat laminating pouches but you could also use just clear contact paper. I also printed my tag on a heavy card stock to help it hold up a little longer. If you download and use the tag let me know if it helps at all. I am curious to see if others find the tag to be as helpful.

Come on Minnesota. Gimme a reason to put on some snow tires.
I have the front struts from a 2000 New Beetle. They were removed from the car after only approximately 12k miles, so they're in great shape!
I no longer have the car and do not need these. I will happily sell the pair for $25 plus shipping.

Incremental Clustering Crawler for Community-Limited Search
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The authors propose incremental clustering crawler, a novel algorithm for finding communities for community-limited search in the web. A web community is a set of semantically related sites found through link-based clustering. The key idea of the proposed algorithm is to perform clustering incrementally while crawling is in progress. This algorithm does not need to crawl all the web pages a priori, but needs to crawl only as many web pages as are relevant to the clusters that are being formed. This ability to crawl on the fly is an important advantage since it is infeasible to crawl the entire set of web pages in the world and since people often do not even know which web pages or sites to crawl.

La Bohème, opera in four acts by Italian composer Giacomo Puccini (Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa) that premiered at the Teatro Regio in Turin, Italy, on February 1, 1896. The story, a sweetly tragic romance, was based on the episodic novel Scènes de la vie de bohème (1847–49; "Scenes of Bohemian Life") by French writer Henri Murger. A success from the beginning, it is one of the most frequently performed of all operas.
Background and context
Puccini's fourth opera met obstacles on its way to the stage. Although the subject had come to his attention by the time he was finishing Manon Lescaut at the end of 1891, Puccini was not yet committed to writing an opera on the bohemian theme. His collaborator Luigi Illica was a strong advocate, however, and Puccini had decided by early 1893 to have him work out the scenario. In a chance meeting, Puccini learned that Ruggero Leoncavallo, one of his strongest rivals, had made great progress on his own La Bohème. The two composers took their arguments and counteraccusations to the popular press. Puccini's resolve was strengthened, and Illica persuaded Giuseppe Giacosa (who, as a respected poet, had considered the subject unworthy) to work on the versification of the story. It took nearly three years for the librettists to satisfy Puccini and for him to compose the opera.
La Bohème's long-awaited premiere was conducted by the young Arturo Toscanini. Critics who had adored the composer's Manon Lescaut and were expecting something dark and dramatic were a bit put off by the sweetness of La Bohème's story, but audiences were highly receptive. Soon La Bohème had eclipsed Manon Lescaut in popularity. Puccini described the public reaction as a "splendid reception." In fact, the results so pleased the team of Puccini, Illica, and Giacosa that the men—who had first worked together to finish Manon Lescaut—reunited to create two equally beloved operas: Tosca (1900) and Madama Butterfly (1904).
La Bohème, which marks Puccini's emergence as a fully mature and original composer, contains some of the most-memorable arias and musical scenes in opera. Throughout, Puccini relies on short musical motifs that represent characters, themes, and moods so that the music underscores and highlights aspects of the drama. In the case of Mimì and Rodolfo, musical phrases bring the opera full circle and let the music reveal the memories recurring in the minds of the lovers as they say farewell.
Cast and vocal parts
- Mimì, a seamstress (soprano)
- Rodolfo, a writer, one of the four bohemians (tenor)

- Alcindoro, a wealthy suitor to Musetta (bass)
- Parpignol, a toy peddler (tenor)
- Custom-house sergeant (bass)
Students, young women, citizens, shopkeepers, street vendors, soldiers, waiters, children.
Setting and story summary
La Bohème is set in Paris (1837–38).

Timothy Garton Ash: Turkey's Neo-Ottoman Game Plan
Timothy Garton Ash is a professor of European studies at Oxford University.
The day I arrived in Istanbul, they buried the last Ottoman. Her Imperial Highness Fatma Neslisah Sultan had been born in a royal palace overlooking the Bosphorus when her grandfather still notionally reigned over the remnants of a vast realm. The day after I left, Syrian gunfire killed several people inside Turkey. Their shots crossed a frontier that didn't exist until the demise of the Ottoman Empire.
On the face of it, these two events seem unrelated: the first a historical curiosity, the second among the most urgent challenges of the day. As many as 9,000 people have reportedly been killed in Syria. Thousands more have been wounded and, according to some estimates, as many as a million are internally or externally displaced. French and British-led intervention in Libya was triggered by Moammar Gadhafi's credible threat to kill civilians in Benghazi en masse. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has actually done it in Homs.
If the scale of killing were the sole trigger for intervention, we should have done it weeks ago. Compared with these horrors, who gives a fig for the passing of some old sultana? Yet, the two events are more closely related than you might think. For Turkey, it makes a world of difference that the territory now called Syria was, until the First World War, as much an integral part of the Ottoman realm as Ireland was of the British. This historical awareness is especially important for Turkey's moderate Islamist government, whose deputy prime minister attended the funeral of the last granddaughter of the last sultan. Its doctrine of "strategic depth" sees Turkey as a regional power, straddling Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia, like – guess who?..

5 Now I know what the V.V. stands for...ronnetti | 14/11/2008 | See all ronnetti's reviews (1)...vibrant verve. After seeing this bubbly London Lass on Later with Jools Holland, I knew the album would be well worth a listen. It didn't disappoint, with hints of the B52s and a wardrobe to match. If you want some feel good music to bop while getting ready to go out, or something to take your mind off the traffic jam you're stuck in then, V.V. is your Gal. Check out the video that goes with Crying Blood. That girl can move.
5 love it xxxxxxxxpastyashleigh | 02/07/2009 | See all pastyashleigh's reviews (2)i think that v v brown is a ledge i first heard of her last year and couldnt wait for her album to come out =] i hope that she finilly gets the break she deserves xxx
5 CAN'T FAULT ITHONESTBAZ | 21/08/2011 | See all HONESTBAZ's reviews (299)Top 100 Music Reviewer From the moment i heard this women on LATER... WITH JOOLS HOLLAND i just had to hear more,she got my interest and i had to track down the album. From the opening track this album grabs your attention and doesn't let it go. How she isn't a really big star is beyond me.Every track is well worth including on the album,even the slower ones belong,giving you time for a breather,before once again,we go speeding along. There's a bit of soul,a bit of pop,a bit of several things going on really. A great voice,good to brilliant tracks and better than i dared even hope. I look forward to her follow up,which if anything like this will be an album to play for many years without getting bored. It has to be said,V V BROWN is V V good.
5 Excellent!Maxiibabe | 01/07/2010 | See all Maxiibabe's reviews (2)I saw V V Brown at a recent P!nk concert where she was supporting, and she was awesome. On this basis I bought this album and it's great.
5 Soul Songstress belts out an amazing album!Brett007 | 12/02/2010 | See all Brett007's reviews (4)VV Brown is clearly one of the best soul singers of 2009 and with the hit 'Shark in the Water' being the best single on her album; we can see her astonishing talent. I recently spoke to VV and asked her about her album; which she described as a 'Doo wop 50's' style, also she is one of the nicest people i have ever spoke to and this is why she is so appealing. However, her album has failed to make a huge impact; but as she stated herself 'Neither did Amy Winehouse's first album' and now look at amy now, 5 grammy wins and a platinum album. So, for all those wondering whether or not to listen to VV; i suggest you give her a chance. :)

By Jason Tillberg:One valuation metric for identifying what markets are cheap and what markets are expensive is to compare the market cap of the country's entire stock market relative to the same country's GDP.

For the second time in 2 days, a Chinese car maker's stock has been utterly devastated overnight - on absolutely no news. Shares in BYD - the Chinese electric car maker part-owned by Warren Buffett - crashed 47% in a bout of total panic selling (before recovering modestly), just a day after Geely - another car maker - crashed 22% on an earnings warning.

For the first time since the recovery began, Warren Buffett's favorite valuation metric has breached the 100% level. That, of course, is the Wilshire 5,000 total market cap index relative to GNP. See the chart below for historical reference.

By Cullen Roche: It's been an amazing run in the stock market. But I have to admit that I start to feel a bit uneasy about things when I see all news reported as good news, because it either means the economy is getting better or more QE is coming. That wouldn't bother me so much if corporate earnings were still booming and the economy was growing strongly, but neither one is occurring. In fact, the market is just driving higher on what looks like sheer optimism of continued QE and little else.
I've had a few skirmishes this week re: Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway (full disclosure: I am long the stock for clients and personal accounts).
By Insider Monkey: Jim Cramer recommends dozens of stocks on his show every week but he isn't really bullish about most of them. Cramer buys only a small percentage of stocks he recommends for his charitable trust. Among Cramer's recommendations we pay most attention to these stocks.

Simplicity is the key to any good note taking app and Peiji easily accomplishes that task. Focusing on a distraction free layout, the app is pretty simple to get to grips with despite its overly wordy tutorial.
Essentially, Peiji is as easy to understand as the stock app for note taking. Users can easily tap in any information they want to keep track of and go no further than that. However, those who want to add formatting will be delighted that the options are there. It's possible to add bullet points, bold, italics, and underlining as and when it's needed. The simplicity is still there though so such options rarely feel intrusive. Moving around such notes involves using a trackpad, which is sometimes a bit awkward but it's an issue that improves with practice.
Notes can be organized by tagging them or by separating them into different notebooks, meaning it's simple enough to keep track of many different things at once. iCloud support means there's never any worry of losing the information, either.
Elsewhere in the list of small but useful features comes night mode, turning the screen much darker, as well as PIN code options for those wanting to keep their notes secure.
Sharing support is similarly varied, with options to export to PDF or RTF as well as the ability to upload directly to Dropbox or Google Drive. It's all fairly easily conducted.
Note taking apps are plentiful on the App Store but Peiji still proves to be a worthwhile addition. Simple to use and uncluttered, it's a handy way to add notes while still having the power of searching through them easily enough. It's sure to be easily adapted, whether for writing ideas down or simply keeping track of your grocery list.

text: Recorded live in Munich, Evan Parker's "Boustrophedon" is the companion volume to Roscoe Mitchell's highly-acclaimed "Composition/Improvisation Nos. 1, 2 & 3" and features an identical line-up, the Transatlantic Art Ensemble assembled by the two great saxophonists. Unlike any other album in Evan Parker's vast discography (he has appeared on more than 250 discs, mostly for small labels specialized in improvisation) "Boustrophedon" uniquely emphasises his compositional capacity, and presents a music that opens some new windows. Each of the piece's six "Furrows" (the title 'Boustrophedon' translates as 'like an ox plowing') features a combination of detailed written music for the players, specific performance instructions and 'open' areas. What does it sound like? The composer at one point spoke of locating a space "between Gil Evans and Luigi Nono", but there is more to the story. "I wanted to use some of the big chords that Slonimsky talks about: all these very big all-interval structures." Conventional tonality meanwhile is at a premium, sometimes referencing "East European folk music with a pedal tone and a variety of scales based on that tone." Juxtaposing the complex and then archaic-sounding, Parker avoids "the middle ground of diatonic harmony," with frequently electrifying results. The album's liner notes map out the central event in the work: The brief overture with ensemble and the foregrounded drums of Tani Tabbal and Paul Lytton leads swiftly to the first of the "Furrows", in each of which a player meets a 'transatlantic' counterpart. "Furrow 1" is an encounter for John Rangecroft's flute and the piano of Craig Taborn (which has a particularly important role to play as the work develops). "Furrow 2" is occupied by Phil Wachsmann and Nils Bultmann, engaged in quite beautiful violin-viola dialogues which spill over into "Furrow 3", where Marcio Mattos (Brazilian-born string player long a British resident) and Anders Svanoe (American saxophonist with Norwegian roots) are featured, Anders's solo lifted up by dense ensemble agitations. "Furrow 4" is for John Rangecroft's clarinet and Corey Wilkes's trumpet, and bassists Jaribu Shahid and Barry Guy compare dynamic meditations in "Furrow 5" - at first in isolation then against increasingly turbulent group playing. The emotionally-powerful "Furrow 6" features solos from first Evan Parker and then Roscoe Mitchell, tumultuously leading us toward a finale set up by massive chords and capped with rapid fire cadenzas. We hear, in succession, Jaribu Shahid, Neil Metcalfe, Anders Svanoe, Philipp Wachsmann, Craig Taborn, Marcio Mattos, Nils Bultmann, John Rangecroft, Corey Wilkes, Barry Guy, and Roscoe Mitchell. The atmospheric climates in which these episodes are developed through the Furrows and the Finale, and the richness and strangeness of the chamber ensemble textures that envelop them, are frequently as remarkable as the solos themselves. *** Evan Parker, regarded by many critics as one of the most important saxophonists of the post-Coltrane era, was amongst the first musicians to record for ECM, appearing on "The Music Improvisation Company" in 1970, the fifth album released by the label. Over the years he has been featured on recordings with Kenny Wheeler, Gavin Bryars and the Globe Unity Orchestra and since the 1990s has been recording more frequently for ECM, two well-received trio recordings with Paul Bley and Barre Phillips ("Time Will Tell, "Sankt Gerold") followed by the introduction of Parker's ground-breaking Electro-Acoustic Ensemble which has thus far released four albums: "Toward The Margins", "Drawn Inward", "Memory/Vision" and "The Eleventh Hour". (A fifth, recorded during the 2007 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, is in preparation). The Transatlantic Art Ensemble, put together by Parker and Roscoe Mitchell in 2004, pooled personnel from the Electro-Acoustic Ensemble and Mitchell's Note Factory. Bassist Barry Guy, violinist Phil Wachsmann and drummer Paul Lytton are members of the Electro-Acoustic Ensemble. Wachsmann/Lytton have recorded also in duo for ECM, on "Some Other Season". Guy has recorded his compositions for the New Series on "Folio" and "Ceremony" and performed also with the Dowland Project ("In Darkness Let Me Dwell", "Care-Charming Sleep") and the Hilliard Ensemble ("A Hilliard Songbook"). Flutist Neil Metcalfe and clarinettist John Rangecroft were at different times members of the Spontaneous Music Ensemble, the flagship band of European improvisation with whom Evan Parker recorded the now-legendary "Karyobin" album of 1968. Of the players from the other side of the Atlantic, Roscoe Mitchell is of course a major figure in new jazz/new composition and the founder of the ever-resourceful Art Ensemble of Chicago, whose ECM recordings include "Nice Guys", "Full Force", "Urban Bushmen", "The Third Decade" and "Tribute To Lester". ECM has also issued "Nine To Get Ready" by Mitchell's Note Factory. (A new Note Factory recording from 2007 is also in the pipeline). Trumpeter Corey Wilkes and bassist Jaribu Shahid are currently also members of the Art Ensemble. Shahid and drummer Tanni Tabbal have played with Mitchell in a variety of contexts for 30 years. Pianist Craig Taborn has recently been touring with David Torn and appears on his popular "Prezens" album on ECM. Saxophonist Anders Svanoe and violist Nils Bultmann have guested with the Note Factory. Bultmann is also known as a classical soloist and Svanoe as a jazz scholar, recently publishing a study of saxophonist Sonny Red. International interest in the Transatlantic Art Ensemble, created with the release of "Composition/Improvisation Nos. 1, 2 & 3" – an album-of-the-year in France's Jazzman magazine - has led to demands for more live performances and possibilities for festival appearances are currently being examined. More details soon. CD package includes session photography by Caroline Forbes and liner notes by Steve Lake.

Madison Square Garden, New York, NY
NEW YORK -- It won't be this easy on Sunday. Not when the Miami Heat come to town for what suddenly shapes up as a possible playoff preview.
The New York Knicks sure look ready.
Baron Davis scored a season-high 18 points on his 33rd birthday, J.R. Smith had 23, and the Knicks surged into a tie for seventh place in the Eastern Conference by routing the Washington Wizards 103-65 on Friday night for their ninth straight home victory.
Knicks Blog

Carmelo Anthony and Steve Novak also had 18 for the Knicks, who could now be looking at a preview of a potential first-round series when they host second-place Miami on Sunday. The Knicks tied Philadelphia after the 76ers lost earlier Friday to New Jersey, and New York holds the tiebreaker for the No. 7 seed.
New York held Washington without a field goal for more than 12 minutes -- essentially the length of an entire quarter -- in the second half
"We want to protect our home court," Anthony said. "We want to make this one of the toughest places to come in and play and come in and win, and as of late we've been doing that and we want to keep that going."
Playing only 29 minutes, Anthony was well off his NBA-leading average of 32.4 points through his first five games in April. That included 43 in an overtime victory over Chicago here on Sunday. A week later, it's the same Sunday national TV spot for the Heat's first trip to New York of the season.
"It's another big game for us, another exciting game," Anthony said. "It'll be fun, the Garden will be rocking. Everybody will be watching. What better game to play in then Sunday evening against Miami?"
Davis shot 7 of 9 in just 23 minutes for the Knicks, who won for the fifth time in six games and improved to 14-4 under Woodson, narrowly missing their second 40-point victory since he took over on March 14. They beat Portland by 42 that night.
The point guard has battled injuries during most of his first season in New York, but said perhaps being in better spirits on his birthday carried into more relaxed play on the court.
"I have the ultimate confidence in myself and in this team, and my teammates have ultimate confidence in me as well," Davis said. "It's just a matter of me just continuing to feel better and play as hard as I possibly can. But I know I can get better and I continue to get better as the season progresses and as we get into the playoffs."
Jordan Crawford scored 17 points for the Wizards, who were trying to win three straight for the first time in their miserable season. But they shot 28 percent and never led in their ninth consecutive loss to the Knicks.
"It's embarrassing is what it was," coach Randy Wittman said. "Our effort tonight was uncharacteristic of what we have been doing. I don't know. It looked like we were overwhelmed from the jump ball when we walked in the arena. Maybe that happens to young guys."
Washington had only 47 points after three quarters and was stuck there for a while in the fourth as fans chanted "forty-seven!" John Wall shot 2 of 12 and finished with eight points.
His last basket was an impressive alley-oop dunk on the break that cut it to 62-45 with 7:03 remaining in the third quarter. But the Wizards managed just two free throws from then until the end of the period, then didn't make a basket in the fourth until Shelvin Mack's layup with 6:43 to play.
"The thing in this league is you've got to bring it every night," Wizards guard Roger Mason Jr. said. "That team we played against today, they're fighting for playoff position and we're fighting for our pride. They came out and just completely humiliated us. Thank God we have a game tomorrow and try to make up for it."
New York solidified its hold on eighth place with a victory in Milwaukee on Wednesday, but quickly showed it isn't looking to settle for the lowest seed.
The Knicks led 26-13 after one quarter. They closed the first half with an 18-5 burst to take a 54-33 lead after Washington had closed within eight, and gave everyone plenty of rest before the early start Sunday.
The only bad news in the Knicks' ninth straight home victory was Iman Shumpert leaving with a sprained right ankle after 23 minutes.
Game notes
The Knicks have won the last eight meetings at Madison Square Garden. Their winning streak against the Wizards is their longest current streak against an opponent. ... Woodson said Amare Stoudemire, out with a bulging disk in his back, took contact while playing in a pickup game during Thursday's off day. He isn't expected to return until mid to late next week. ... Knicks PG Jeremy Lin had the stitches from his left knee surgery removed.

10,000 reportedly injured
The death toll from the powerful earthquake that hit China this morning continues to rise.
Chinese State Media now reports some 400 people were killed by the earthquake near Tibet.
The US Geological Survey says the quake had a magnitude of 6.9. It was followed by several powerful aftershocks.
According to Chinese State Media, some 10-thousand people were also injured.
Local reports say more than 85 percent of the buildings in one town near the epicenter were flattened.
Almost two years ago, a magnitude 7.9 quake in neighboring Sichuan Province left almost 90-thousand people dead or missing.
A magnitude 6.9 earthquake killed at least 300 people in China's mountainous Tibetan Plateau Tuesday.
Rescue workers say dozens more are trapped in collapsed houses in the ethnic Tibetan Region and nearly 8,000 people were injured.
China's official news agency reported this morning that a series of quakes and aftershocks caused low level brick buildings to collapse.
The quake was centered in the mountains that divide China's Qinghai Province from the Tibet Autonomous Region.
The foothills to the South and East of the area are home to herders and Tibetan monasteries.

Shrapnel (DC Comics)
Shrapnel | |
Shrapnel as seen in Adventures of Superman #593 (August 2001)
Publication information | |
Publisher | DC Comics |
First appearance | Doom Patrol vol. 2 #7 (April 1988) |
Created by | Erik Larsen |
In-story information | |
Alter ego | Mark Scheffer |
Team affiliations | Suicide Squad Secret Society of Super Villains The Cyborg Revenge Squad |
Abilities | Super human strength and endurance. Shrapnel's body consists of hundreds of pieces of an organic-metallic substance that can be projected into explosive bursts. |
Shrapnel is a supervillain in the DC Comics universe. He is primarily an enemy of the Outsiders and the Doom Patrol.
Fictional character biography[edit]
Very little about Shrapnel's past and identity is known, although it is known that his name is Mark Scheffer[1] and that he was a normal human at one time and has an ex-wife and two very human blond-haired daughters. Shrapnel has tried to stay incognito, but failed to do so after deciding to slaughter anyone who caught even a glimpse of him.
He was discovered by the Doom Patrol in Kansas while on a murder spree and forced into combat by the team. Celsius quickly flooded Shrapnel encasing him within a solid prison block of ice. Shrapnel blew it apart, hitting Mrs. Caulder point blank and hospitalizing the heroine.
It is also noted that Lodestone was not able to magnetize some control over Shrapnel. It was energy blasting Tempest who worked out that Shrapnel is a series of organic cells creating a single consciousness- that feeds on the blood of victims. Shrapnel escaped the encounter with the Doom Patrol.
He has since joined The Society.[2] Shrapnel has later resurfaced as one of the exiled supervillains in Salvation Run.[3]
In DC Special: Cyborg mini-series, Shrapnel has joined The Cyborg Revenge Squad.
Following the Final Crisis, he was with Cheetah III's Secret Society of Super Villains at the time when Genocide was created. He was defeated by Wonder Woman.
Shrapnel appeared in the intercompany crossover JLA/Avengers as one of the villains who attack the Vision and Aquaman in Metropolis. He actually makes the first attack, but the Vision blocks it by increasing his density. After the two heroes are subdued, Shrapnel prepares to blast Aquaman when Green Lantern attacks him and knocks him out.
Powers and abilities[edit]
As a being made of organic metal, Shrapnel has superhuman strength and stamina. He doesn't have to eat or sleep in this form.
In addition, the metal plates on Shrapnel's body can be projected into explosive bursts. Each scale is a living organism controlled by Shrapnel's consciousness, so once fired they can be directed and recalled at will. Pieces lost by Shrapnel will eventually die, but he can regenerate new ones.
In other media[edit]
- Shrapnel appeared in the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode "When OMAC Attacks!" voiced by Greg Ellis. This version is General Kafka (inspired by the eponymous future villain[4] in the OMAC comic book series), a Russian war criminal who was turned into an organic metal being through a lab accident. As Shrapnel, he continuously fights OMAC in a destructive battle arranged by Equinox.[5] Though the comic book Shrapnel was simply deranged, and the future Kafka a petty mercenary obsessed with world domination, this incarnation of Shrapnel is driven by revenge, as he claims, while fighting OMAC, to hail from a poor Russian village, razed and burnt to the ground during an unspecified conflict (apparently as collateral damage in failed attempt of the GPA to curb Kafka's power base), dooming its farmer inhabitants, or better the survived ones, to poverty and famine. In this precarious state of mind, Shrapnel is exploited by Equinox, coaxed into trying, while battling OMAC, to set up a meltdown to burn New York City into a nuclear holocaust as a balance for the earlier loss of his people. Shrapnel is defeated when OMAC raised his shield defense so Shrapnel wasted his energy beating on him and tired himself out.
- Mark Scheffer appeared in Arrow, portrayed by Sean Maher.[6] In "Blast Radius" he is seen as an anti-government serial bomber who follows a militia group and the group's M.O. is how he is identified by Team Arrow when they analyze the bomb remains given by Detective Lance. He goes by the alias of Shrapnel but does not appear visually as Shrapnel. After bombing two government buildings in Starling, Shrapnel targets Sebastian Blood's Unity Rally and after a brief chase, Arrow manages to catch him and he's arrested. Maher returned in the episode Suicide Squad as a reluctant member of the team. [7] Shrapnel decides to abandon the first mission, unaware of a failsafe bomb implanted in his head by Amanda Waller. Waller detonates the bomb as Shrapnel attempts to escape in a car, killing him.

A 'good' pit stop at Indy was less than one minute at that time. The first pit stop fuel only was timed at 17.9 seconds. The second fuel only stop was 24.9 because there was less fuel pressure in their gravity feed system. The car needed no tire changes, but the Woods made sure the rims and spinners were carefully prepared for that possibility. Tread depth was also checked during that pit stop.
BTW, the Lotus 82 had a 58 gallon fuel tank. Wood felt it could optimally fill the car in about 15 seconds- meaning they had a 4 gallon a second fuel rig.
Gah! Lotus 38!!!! ^_^
Dad raced a 1/24 slot car BITD of one of those. Had a T-Car in a Heinz Happy Soup livery- got the label off one of my cans, and then the white and orange race car. Built a Black one for a friend.
They were VERY popular for those purposes BITD, no real body, all chassis.

I'm I doing something wrong?
thanks in advance for your help
It never had that many about 2100 listed at one point but more recently it fell from 1200 to about 800 and during the last week went to about 500 odd.
Is this some sort of msn penulty? do you think? if so what action should be taken - sites fine in Yahoo and google
It doesn't appear to be a crawling issue -- MSNBot has crawled 8,000 URLs in the last 36 hours -- but only our top-level pages and those with inbound links from other sites seem to be showing up in the MSN SERPs.
a bigger drop with the last update over the weekend
We've never gained or lost any in the last 2-3 years and get very very little traffic from MSN.
Am I offering the wrong brand of spider food?

Fergus Falls streaker won't face felony charge
A streaker whose one-man show upstaged the homecoming band at a high school football game in Fergus Falls will not face felony charges, a prosecutor said Monday.
The runner made his appearance about 8:20 p.m. Friday, sprinting the length of the Fergus Falls High School football field before disappearing into some woods north of the school, where he hid for 30 minutes before revealing himself to officers.

JEANIE MILEY: There are many tricks to eating chocolate
Now and then, I purchase a bar of Godiva chocolate when I am checking out at the neighborhood book store. I don't do it often, so it is a special occasion when I do choose to indulge in that guilt-free pleasure. (Note that I said guilt-free.)
I really, really love chocolate, but for a variety of reasons, I have learned to eat chocolate intentionally and joyfully. Most of the time, I indulge only in very good chocolate, but I've not gotten too picky to enjoy one of those ordinary specimens you can get at any convenience store.
Regardless of the quality of the chocolate, I am careful because I am aware that without restraint, I could become like the man in the window of the chocolate shop in the movie Chocolat du Monde, slathered from head to foot in chocolate, sweet chocolate.
Last week, I realized it had been quite some time since I had bought a bar of Godiva, and so with my magazines for weekend reading, I picked up a bar.
The girl who was checking me out couldn't have been more than 20 years old, and she was as big around as a thin pencil. She checked my purchases, took my money, handed me my sack, and then she said, "Enjoy your chocolate."
I said "Thank you" and turned to walk out. She wasn't finished.
She leaned across the counter as if we were co-conspirators, and said, "You know how to eat it don't you? Cut it up in very small bites, freeze them and have only one tiny bite a day. That's the trick!"
I was amused and so I tossed a retort back over my shoulder, "That's one trick!"
All the way home, I chuckled about that unsolicited counsel from someone less than one-third my age. All I could think about was what would have been my mother's response to someone that young telling her how to do anything.
I could have told her that another "trick" is to make it a special occasion when you do finally have a chocolate bar, and to buy only good-quality chocolate.
I could have told her the health benefits of eating dark chocolate and asked her to speculate about whether "the more the better" rule might apply when it comes to healthy chocolate.
By the time I got home, however, none of that mattered, though the memory of her talking down to me still amuses me.
Here's what mattered:
I hauled in all my stuff from the day, putting groceries in the pantry and carrying my books and other teaching supplies to my upstairs study. I got out of my work clothes and into something comfortable, checked the phone messages and put wash into the dryer.
I sat down in my favorite chair, propped my feet up and took a minute to savor the quiet of the early spring afternoon.
Then I unwrapped that bar of chocolate, slowly and carefully.
All of it.
I broke off a piece that was just the right size — neither too small or too big — and I ate the first bite, slowly savoring the flavor and the texture of the chocolate melting in my mouth. One by one, I ate that chocolate bar until all that was left was the gold wrapper. I ate the whole thing, and in one sitting.
And then, I sighed the deepest sigh of satisfaction and smiled one more time.
I'm not sure what it was that made that young girl need to share her trick for eating chocolate, but I am sure that I need help in a whole lot of areas of my life. In fact, I often ask for help and I never hesitate to ask for help when I don't know what to do.
As for eating chocolate? I've got that down.

WALLA WALLA - Brett Watson, a left-handed pitcher from WWCC, and Dan Sorine, a left-handed pitcher from Fordham University, have signed contracts with the Sweets to play West Coast League baseball this summer.
The pair joins an already strong Sweets' pitching staff that includes 13 right-handed pitchers and six southpaws.
Watson was slated to join the Sweets for their inaugural season in 2010 before he was sidelined for the summer with an elbow injury.
"Brett's a talented pitcher coming back from an injury that sidelined him last year," said Sweets manager and WWCC assistant coach, J.C. Biagi. "He's worked hard in the off-season and we look for him to be an integral part of our staff this summer."
Sorine, a 6-foot 2-inch, 215-pound sophomore from Eastchester, N.Y., made 18 appearances in 2010 as a freshman for the Fordham Rams. He pitched nine innings and had six strikeouts, including a two-inning, four-strikeout performance while registering his first collegiate save against Fairfield. After losing its opening game to Virginia Commonwealth to start the 2011 season, Fordham has reeled off six straight wins over VCU, Iona and Manhattan.

Chad "I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." -Abraham Lincoln
This is a fantastic beer! It's become a house beer and one I've brewed more often than any other. Having said that, I've tweaked the recipe quite a bit from the original for my own personal tastes. Hope the OP isn't offended. My version: 5 gallons: SG 1.053 FG 1.010 Eff 73% SRM 12 IBU 42 ABV 5.75 10lbs 8oz 2-Row 12oz Victory 8oz C120 8oz Carapils Mash (BIAB): 4gal @ 150F for 60min 2.25gal @168F for 10min batch sparge 60min boil 1oz Cascade pellet FWH 1oz Cascade pellet 15min 1oz Cascade pellet 10min 1oz Cascade pellet 5min 1oz Cascade pellet 1min 2oz Cascade Leaf dry hop 14 days. 1tsp nutrient 10min fresh zest from 3 medium sized organic oranges 5min Wyeast American Ale II 1272 with 1L starter
I am brewing this again tomorrow. I am making a few slight changes this time, though. Instead of 9 pounds of maris otter, I am going to use 8 pounds of two row and 1 pound of belgian biscuit malt. I am dropping the carmel malt and adding an extra pound of vienna. How does this sound?
Has any one in this thread tried using orange peel in secondary instead of boil? Why I ask is because I was going to brew this beer with out the orange and coriander in the boil then when I secondary siphon off a gallon to do just the orange to to make sure it is what I want before making 5 gallons of it. I can tell the base beer is defiantly something i want a whole lot of! Also I have read up on adding to the secondary so I know some use zest some use fresh or dried peel some soak in vodka some use peeled whole oranges. It is just this is my first adding anything to secondary besides hops and coffee so I would like to know a few preferences before I do it. Thanks.
@ blacklab, I made this beer as my first partial mash ever. I hit all my target temperatures and was very happy with my result. I went with an additional 15 minutes on the boil because I started with 6.5 gallons pre-boil and I needed extra time to reach 5 gallons. I was able to adjust my final hop additions. My OG was 1.052 a little low but I'm not worried. 24 hours later and primary is going crazy. Thankfully I put a blow off tube because the Krausen would have been everywhere. Thanks for the recipe and all the tips and suggestions. I am definitely moving to AG for the next brew day.
I just brewed this and toasted 2# of the MO for 30 min @ 350f, came out a little darker than beersmith estimated. But looking real good.
This sounds really good. I am brewing a pale ale tomorrow and might zest a couple oranges.

Airing on "20/20," Friday, August 28, 10 p.m. ET
Plus: A Harrowing River Rescue;
And: Chris Connelly Reports on "Helicopter Moms" – Moms Who Micro-Manage Every Stage of Their Children's Lives
Also: John Stossel on Healthcare
The gruesome murder of Jasmine Fiore last week led to a widely televised manhunt for reality star suspect Ryan Jenkins and ended with Jenkins' suicide. But the story of the murdered bikini model, found stuffed in a suitcase, is still far from over. "20/20" explores new details, going inside the secrets of Jasmine and Ryan's relationship and investigating how a man with a history of domestic abuse cleared background checks to be on a reality show. Deborah Roberts' report airs on "20/20" on FRIDAY, August 28 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
Plus: "20/20" travels back to a dangerous swimming hole in western Colorado to re-live the harrowing day six good friends became five. A drowning woman is saved, but her savior is lost. Jay Schadler reports.
And: Do moms who micro-manage their children's lives do more harm than good? That's a question that Chris Connelly poses to mothers, college kids and experts alike – including one doctor who describes such moms as "helicopter moms" because they are constantly "hovering".
Also: During the current health care debate, many people who are complaining about health care insurance say the solution is to make insurance companies cover more, lowering deductibles so we all pay less. But John Stossel asks, if we pay less, what will that really do to costs?
"20/20" is anchored by Elizabeth Vargas and John Stossel. David Sloan is executive producer.

I wrote a post last week listing out 10 things that I had to become ok with as a small group leader. You can read it here. I had a lot of great conversations about it last week. Talking about the post got me thinking about the things I could've been prepared for. Although as a leader you must be ok with some things, you also as a leader can be better prepared for other things. So I thought I'd share ten things I needed to be prepared to do as a small group leader.
Set Boundaries – Letting your leaders know that it is ok for them to set boundaries with their students if need be. From experience, you may want to set boundaries from day one in a lot of areas especially these two:
- Texting and phone calls – I know that we want to be available and reachable at all times, but you want to set some guidelines. For some students this may not be a problem, but for others you could run into all types of issue as the season goes on.
- Hanging out – You definitely want to spend time with your group outside of the day you have group, but you need your own time to hang with other friends. You can easily burn out if theres no life outside of your small group. Take a break. It's ok.
Communicate Smarter – Setting up a group text with your students and an email group for the parents right away will be one of the smartest things you do. Text the students and also email their parents what's going on. Because there is a huge chance your students won't share with their parents what you need them to share, until the last minute or when it's too late.
Inform Parents How You Will Discipline – Set up how you will discipline and inform parents right away. Nothing causes more problems then you as a leader disciplining students a certain way and the parents learning about the how the day you do it. So let them know how you will discipline so when their student tells them what happened they won't be shocked.
How To Communicate Conflict – You may not always get the email saying that you are the parents favorite person. You may get an email from a parent disapproving of something you've said or done. Here is my response to confrontational emails "I'm sorry you feel that way. Is their a time we can talk in person or via phone about this?" email lacks context so whatever you say could be perceived the wrong way. If the issue can't be resolved, let the ministry know so they can help resolve the issue and let them know sooner than later.
If you have to communicate something tough with a parent do it in person and in love. Bring the ministry in the loop right away.
Let Parents Know About The Sex/Pornography Talk – There are some lessons that leaders need to let parents know they are doing. So the parent can make the choice if they want their students to participate or not. There may be more topics, but sex and pornography are two examples of subjects that parents need to beware of. Tip: send parents your outline so they can have an idea of what will be discussed. This will save the ministry a lot of heartache. We know that the best setting for these issues to be discussed is small group but a better place is also the home . So lets give parents that respect and courtesy.
Not Drive Students – This may seem small but there is a legall limit to how many students can fit in a car. Leaders need to know that the last thing the ministry needs to be doing is explaining to a parent why their son/daughter was in a five seater car with 9 people. Students will pressure and you may seem cool for braking the law, but your breaking the law. Let students know up front that it's not going to happen.
Set Language Standards – For some students you will have no problem but for some you may have to get a sensor button. haha Let students know up front the type of language you will not tolerate.
Talk About Social Media – This may need to be an ongoing conversation with students. Students need to know that they will be perceived by what they post, like and who they follow and friend. Don't be afraid to call them out on questionable pictures, statuses and questionable friends or Instagram feeds.
Say No – Sometimes students and parents can take advantage of someone who has set out to care for them the way small group leaders care for them. So leaders need to know that it's ok to say no. You don't have to pay for every meal when you go out and you are not a personal taxi. It's ok to say no!!
Deal With Non-Believing Parents- Your leaders are in a great position to be a witness to the students parents. I actually wrote a post about this awhile back (click here) I've seen God do some amazing things in this situation. Tip: Prayer is the key in this situation. Pray for wisdom and opportunities to share the love of Christ with the family. Whether it be through the student or one on one, pray for God's intervention.
What would you add to the list?
hope it helps

Wollaston Lake is located in northeastern Saskatchewan, Canada. With a surface area of 2286 km² (excluding islands; 2681 km² if islands are included),[3] it is the largest bifurcation lake in the world that drains naturally in two directions.[4]
The Fond du Lac River flows out of the lake to the northwest, where it drains into Lake Athabasca, which ultimately drains into the Arctic Ocean via the Mackenzie River system. The Cochrane River flows out of the northeastern side of the lake and into Reindeer Lake, which drains via the Churchill River system into Hudson Bay. If Hudson Bay is defined to be part of the Atlantic Ocean, and if the Arctic Ocean is not defined to be part of the Atlantic, then Wollaston Lake drains into two oceans.
Wollaston Lake's main inflow is the Geikie River which flows from the southwest into the southwest section of the lake. If the aforementioned oceanic definitions are used, then the Geikie is the largest river in the world to flow naturally into two oceans.
Wollaston Lake is also the largest lake entirely within Saskatchewan, although the Saskatchewanian portions of Lake Athabasca and Reindeer Lake are both larger.
Samuel Hearne learned of the lake in 1770 and David Thompson noted in 1796 the dual outlets as "perhaps without parallel in the world."[5] In 1807, Peter Fidler named the lake after George Hyde Wollaston.
The only settlement on its shores is also named Wollaston Lake. The settlement includes the northern hamlet of Wollaston Lake with a population of 129 [6] and the adjacent village of Wollaston Post of the Hatchet Lake Dene Nation with a population of 1251.[7][8][9]
Access to the lake is provided by the community airstrip (Wollaston Lake Airport) and an all-weather road (Highway 905) to La Ronge.[9] This road passes by the western side of the lake, while the community of Wollaston Lake is located on the eastern side, but the lake can be crossed by a winter road when the lake is frozen (November through June)[2] and by the Wollaston barge when it is not.[9] Air service is also provided to Points North Landing, a service centre for nearby uranium mines. This industry provides jobs for local residents, but has raised concerns over possible contamination of the lake.
Fish species[edit]
Fish species found in the lake include walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, lake trout, arctic grayling, lake whitefish, cisco, burbot, white sucker and longnose sucker.
Treated effluent from the Rabbit Lake uranium mine is released into Hidden Bay on the southwestern side of the lake.[10]

Dictionary » S » Soap Soapsoap A substance which dissolves in water, thus forming a lather, and is used as a cleansing agent. Soap is produced by combining fats or oils with alkalies or alkaline earths, usually by boiling, and consists of salts of sodium, potassium, etc, with the fatty acids (oleic, stearic, palmitic, etc). See the note below, and cf. Saponification. By extension, any compound of similar composition or properties, whether used as a cleaning agent or not. In general, soaps are of two classes, hard and soft. Calcium, magnesium, lead, etc, form soaps, but they are insoluble and useless. The purifying action of soap depends upon the fact that it is decomposed by a large quantity of water into free alkali and an insoluble acid salt. The first of these takes away the fatty dirt on washing, and the latter forms the soap lather which envelops the greasy matter and thus tends to remove it. (Roscoe & Schorlemmer) castile soap, a fine-grained hard soap, white or mottled, made of olive oil and soda; called also Marseilles, or venetian, soap. Hard soap, any one of a great variety of soaps, of different ingredients and colour, which are hard and compact. All solid soaps are of this class. Lead soap, an insoluble, white, pliable soap made by saponifying an oil (olive oil) with lead oxide; used externally in medicine. Called also lead plaster, diachylon, etc. Marine soap. See Marine. (Science: alchemy) pills of soap, pills containing soap and opium. Potash soap, any soap made with potash, especially. The soft soaps, and a hard soap made from potash and castor oil. Pumice soap, any hard soap charged with a gritty powder, as silica, alumina, powdered pumice, etc, which assists mechanically in the removal of dirt. Resin soap, a yellow soap containing resin, used in bleaching. Silicated soap, a cheap soap containing water glass (sodium silicate). (Science: botany) See quillaia bark. Soap bubble, a hollow iridescent globe, formed by blowing a film of soap suds from a pipe; figuratively, something attractive, but extremely unsubstantial. This soap bubble of the metaphysicians. (J. C. Shairp) Soap cerate, a cerate formed of soap, olive oil, white wax, and the subacetate of lead, sometimes used as an application to allay inflammation. Soap fat, the refuse fat of kitchens, slaughter houses, etc, used in making soap. (Science: alchemy) Soap liniment, a liniment containing soap, camphor, and alcohol. Soap nut, the hard kernel or seed of the fruit of the soapberry tree, used for making beads, buttons, etc. (Science: botany) Soap plant, same as soapberry tree. Soda soap, a soap containing a sodium salt. The soda soaps are all hard soaps. Soft soap, a s 789 oap of a gray or brownish yellow colour, and of a slimy, jellylike consistence, made from potash or the lye from wood ashes. It is strongly alkaline and often contains glycerin, and is used in scouring wood, in cleansing linen, in dyehouses, etc. Figuratively, flattery; wheedling; blarney. Toilet soap, hard soap for the toilet, usually coloured and perfumed. Origin: OE. Sope, AS. Sape; akin to D. Zeep, G. Seife, OHG. Seifa, Icel. Sapa, Sw. Spa, Dan. Sbe, and perhaps to AS.
