Kalin and Myles
North Star Bar
2639 Poplar St
Philadelphia, PA, 19130
This event is all ages
Music's got a long history of impressive duos, from Simon & Garfunkel to Method Man & Redman. There's just something special about a tag team of two distinct personalities joining forces for a singular musical mission. That brings us to Northern California duo -- Kalin & Myles. These two forge together pop and hip hop into an irresistible and inimitable hybrid, affectionately dubbed, "Hip Pop". Meet the 21st century's premier pair.
After crossing paths at a local movie theater in 2011 and following up with each other on Facebook, Kalin & Myles began formally making music together, creating their own beats, singing, and rapping. Soon afterwards, they dropped "More Than Friends" online, and the response was instantly overwhelming. They performed shows with the likes of Megan & Liz and for San Francisco's radio station KMVQ 99.7 and slowly developed a fervent fan base. Headline gigs then started selling out. However, their 2012 debut EP Chasing Dreams elevates the playing field for them once again.
Boasting the track "On Mine Too", their "Hip Pop" sound takes the spotlight. About the track, Myles explains, "We basically want to express our feelings for a girl, but we don't know if she feels the same way. We're shy, so the song is a fun way to express that."
Then, there's the single "Go To Work", which nods to the classic Bay Area rap sound with a throbbing bass bounce. "That one is a song for the function or party," smiles Myles. "It's something to get people dancing."
In many ways, the title Chasing Dreams embodies the group's journey thus far. Kalin affirms, "It's the whole grind behind music and trying to make it. We're all Chasing Dreams, and it's amazing that our dreams are coming true for us."
Their mentality and spirit continually resound through the hyper enthusiastic ranks of fans supporting them. "We have a really close relationship with them," continues Kalin. "We engage all of them through social networks. They've been with us from the ground up, and their support strengthens us."
Ultimately, everybody's invited to join Kalin & Myles' party. "We want our fan base to make positive memories when they hear us," says Myles. "We want them to associate it with moments like finding a best a friend through music or getting through a bad day. We're so passionate and driven that we just hope our influence is a good one."

I am using gnuplot (Version 4.4 patchlevel 2) to generate rowstacked histograms, very similar to the example called "Stacked histograms by percent" from the gnuplot demo site at http://www.gnuplot.info/demo/histograms.html
I want to display the values of each stacked box within it.
I.e. I want to display the actual numerical value (in percent and/or the absolute number) of each box.
How can I do that?

Actor qualifies for the national archery championship
Usually, archery does not draw much of a crowd. But on Saturday, the St. Albert's College ground at Kaloor here, which hosted the Kerala State Championship, had a sizeable number of spectators. The reason; actor Ananya was in action.
The former champion did not disappoint the crowd, winning the women's compound event with a score of 466 and qualifying for the forthcoming national championship.
The popular actor, who won the Filmfare Award for best supporting actress for her role in the Tamil film Engayum Eppothum and the Asianet Award for the Malayalam film Seniors, was making a comeback to the sport after nearly five years.
Ananya said she had just three to four days to prepare for the championship. A recent accident had made things difficult. It hurt a wee bit more while pulling the string, she said.
But she plans to work harder, compete in the national championship, and is even eyeing global competitions.

George Clooney isn't ready to take on the role of being a dad – at least, not anytime soon.
George's gorgeous gal pal, Elisabetta Canalis, told Italy's Cosmopolitan magazine that the couple doesn't have any plans for children in the immediate future.
"[Getting pregnant has] never been an objective for me," she told the foreign publication, according to various online reports. "My maternal desires are fully satisfied with my dogs."
While fatherhood might not be in the 49-year-old actor's plans, apparently neither is another walk down the aisle.
During an appearance on "Piers Morgan Tonight" in January, George said he and Elisabetta wouldn't be saying, "I do."
"I hate to blow your whole news story, but I was married," George said at the time, when asked by his father Nick (who appeared alongside the actor) about considering marriage. "Yeah, so I've proven how good I was at it, and I just. … I'm allowed one."
The 48-year-old actor/philanthropist wed actress Talia Balsam in 1989, but the marriage ended in divorce in 1993.
For now, Clooney and Elisabetta are enjoying each other's company – along with the Southern California lifestyle.
"We love the coast, the Pacific Highway, with its rocks, the surfers and the ocean," she told the Italian edition of Cosmo.
While some girls want the ring, Elisabetta said she's happy accompanying her man down the red carpet with a different title.
"I love it to bits. I am happy to participate at events as the 'girlfriend of,'" she said.

Six Nations sinks to new low
Graham Jenkins
April 25, 2013
Wales made it back-to-back Six Nations titles with victory over England in their title showdown last month © PA Photos
This year's Six Nations battle produced an average of just 2.5 tries per game - not only the lowest figure in championship history, but also the lowest in the 18 years since the game went professional in 1995.
The alarming stat has been highlighted in the International Rugby Board's official analysis that details how the number of tries has decreased steadily since 2000 - the first staging of the Six Nations.
The reports states that this year there were 37, or 51%, fewer tries scored than in 2000. In the last two years (2012/2013) a total of 83 tries were scored, but in 2000 and 2001 the comparative figure was 150, a difference of 77 tries.
Wales, who claimed the Six Nations title, were the only team to score in every match that they played this year, while England scored only one try in their last four matches.
Graphic: The number of tries in the Six Nations has decreased steadily since 2000 (IRB)
There is more uncomfortable reading for Europe's finest when it comes to scrums. The latest analysis highlights the fact that "the core problems at Tier One level continue and are increasing, with more scrums collapsing and, for the first time in any Tier One tournament, over half of all scrums ended with a penalty or free kick."
Three of the six teams - Wales, Scotland and England - failed to score a single try from scrum possession, with just five tries in total resulting from that kind of set-piece. This compares with 11 from lineouts, 11 from opponents' kicks and eight from turnovers.
Graphic: For the first time in any Tier One tournament, over half of all scrums ended with a penalty or free kick (IRB)
The extent of the problem is illustrated by one match - Wales v England. This match resulted
The report comments that, "problems relating to current scrums are also having an effect on the shape of the game. With fewer scrums taking place and more penalties and free kicks being awarded, possession from the scrum has now become a less significant part of the game."
It adds: "It appears that the benefit from scrums comes not so much from possession, but from the penalties and free kicks they manage to obtain. Wales and England, for example, each obtained the ball from their own scrum just 13 times in their five matches while receiving 20 and 17 penalties and free kicks respectively."
While tries decreased this year, penalty goals increased with the 6.3 per match average the highest since the Five Nations Championship restarted after the Second World War in 1947. However, tries still remain the most significant element in winning matches with 60% of games won by the team crossing the whitewash the most times.

New London — They came in droves and left with arms filled, car trunks stuffed and truck beds piled high.
Teaching professionals, and later the general public, were invited into St. Mary Star of the Sea School Friday for the sale of desks and chairs, bookcases and bulletin boards, beakers and microscopes, to help clean out the 115-year-old school that shut its doors last spring.
"It is sad,'' said Samantha Batch of Waterford, who taught for seven years at the school, which her brother and sister attended as children. "I did sneak away to see my old classroom.''
She stood in the second-floor library, holding a book she found written by first-graders in Kennett, Mo., about the day after Sept. 11, 2001. She ran into another former teacher, Dominica Alicea of New London, who now works part-time at Jennings School.
"This is like my home,'' Alicea said.
Batch said teachers were notified just 12 days before the school closed for good.
"We were flabbergasted,'' she said.
The Diocese of Norwich announced the closure in May, citing financial problems. The school had 115 students in kindergarten through eighth grade.
But Batch, who came to buy a desk for her newborn son, was happy Friday to wander the halls looking for bargains on books and school supplies that she intends to share with relatives who also are teachers.
"We used to support the school in so many ways,'' said Batch's mother, Ann Sullivan of Groton, who was stacking items on top of a desk.
Inside the front door of the school, Alice Schroeder sat behind a metal desk that was marked for the sale, accepting cash and checks.
She and her husband, David, and fellow parishioners of St. Mary Star of the Sea Church, Peggy Warnton and Victor Abreu, organized the two-day sale.
"The school closed and we all thought, 'What are we going to do?'" Schroeder said. "We went through a mourning period and then we decided the best thing we could do was clean out the school and get it ready for another use.''
The volunteers went through years paperwork, keeping some but shredding enough documents to fill 41 construction-size plastic bags.
By 1 p.m. Friday, when the public was invited in, a steady stream of people picked books, science supplies, computer monitors and keyboards.
Claire Szeker of New London, who works for a Joshua Center program, found a dozen books and a metal filing case, spending about $30.
"It's better than buying them at a bookstore or Office Depot,'' she said.
The school nurse at New London's Regional Multicultural Magnet School found a physician's scale for $25 and a bulletin board for her office.
Rebekah Kepple of Stonington paid $200 for a soapstone lab table, which she intends to turn into a kitchen table.
A man who did not want to give his name said he came to the sale "mostly to be nosy.'' But he left with a globe, a paperback edition of "Huckleberry Finn" and a statue of Mary.
By mid-afternoon, Schroeder said she was overwhelmed by the number of people and the amount of money she was collecting. All the money will go to St. Mary's Church, she said.
"When we started, it was more about getting the school cleaned out,'' she said. "Now it's about the money."
What: Sale of school supplies
When: Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Where: St. Mary's School

IGNOU MINUTES OF THE 1ST MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE TO REVIEW THE COMPOSITION OF VARIOUS AUTHORITIES/STANDING COMMITTEES UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF IGNOU ACT/STATUTES HELD ON JUNE 01, 2009 AT 2.00 P.M. IN THE BOARD ROOM, BLOCK NO.8, IGNOU CAMPUS, MAIDAN GARHI, NEW DELHI – 110 068 Following members were present: 1. Prof. V.N. Rajasekharan Pillai, Vice-Chancellor - Chairman 2. Prof. Parvin Sinclair, PVC - Member 3. Prof. K.R. Srivathsan, PVC - Member 4. Dr. Latha Pillai, PVC - Member 5. Prof. B.S. Sharma - Member 6. Prof.P.Purushotam Rao - Member 7. Prof. Manjulika Srivastava - Member 8. Dr. Masood Parveez - Member 9. Dr. Kalpana Mishra - Member 10. Shri U.S. Tolia, Registrar(Admn) - Secretary Prof. Omprakash Mishra, Dr. D.K. Choudhry, Advocate Pravin Parekh, Prof. Veena V. Thakare, Prof. Srikrishna Deva Rao and Prof. P.R. Ramanujam, Members could not attend the meeting. Prof. N.V. Narasimham, Director (ACD) attended the meeting as a Special Invitee. Shri D. Deb, Jt. Registrar (Admn) was present in the meeting to assist the Secretary of the Committee. At the outset, the Chairman welcomed the members to the 1st Meeting of the aforesaid Committee. 1 The Vice-Chancellor informed that this is a very important meeting relating to the review and re-examining of the composition (including powers & functions) of various authorities/standing committees of the University. 2 He stressed on the need to re-look into the Act/Statutes and Ordinances/Regulations with a view to providing future perspectives and directions for the University. He observed that the size and operation of the University have undergone a sea-change vis-à-vis the University's functions over the last 24 years. It is, therefore, inevitable that review and revision are conducted periodically so that the developments in the entire educational scenario can be adopted in a holistic manner. In this connection the Honourable Vice Chancellor referred to the Board of Recognition, an important authority, responsible for admitting Colleges to the privileges of the University, yet to be set up and made functional. The Honourable Vice-Chancellor, therefore, stressed that the constitution and powers and functions of the Board of Recognition required to be prescribed by the Statutes, be given utmost priority. 3 The University has made amendments to the Statutes/Ordinances/ Regulations over the years. The compositions/constituencies and terms of reference of various authorities/standing committees need simultaneous review to update them so that they meet the changing environment and developmental needs, including aspirations of existing/potential students. He also referred to the RTI Act, 2005 which is already in operation and has significant bearing on the information pertaining to the Act/Statutes so far as the public domain is concerned. 4 The Vice-Chancellor desired that for each specific function of the Authorities/ Standing Committees, a separate team has to be formed. Each team will look into the identified activities and recommend the required changes and revisions. Each team will be headed by a senior member of this Committee and will submit its report within 2-3 weeks, positively. The Vice-Chancellor observed that several recommendations were made over the years and many recommendations were not implemented. 5 He called upon the members to take notice of this and take appropriate action. He suggested that each team head will involve the faculty and senior officers of the University. The team head would inter alia consult or seek views of former and existing officers, faculties of the University and also external experts, as may be required, in eliciting information and valuable suggestions. Such inputs will be of great value to the respective Sub-Committee. 6 Prof. B.S. Sharma, Member of the Committee recalled that review of the Statutes/Ordinances have been made years ago. This revision should be done on regular basis so as to take into account the shape and size and the direction in which the University has been moving. 7 He also informed that over the time the University has experienced a good deal of inadequacy in course of its expansion activities which comes in the way of proper planning and development. The Committee should take into account these aspects as well, he stressed. Accordingly, the following Teams have been formed for giving their recommendations within stipulated timeframe i.e. by 25th of June, 2009, to the Vice Chancellor for his consideration and necessary action: Authorities /Standing Committees and the Corresponding Teams 1.

Live Data Center Migration across WANs: A Robust Cooperative Context Aware Approach Kobus Van der Merwe with K.K. Ramakrishnan and Prashant Shenoy Motivation • Most network based services/applications involve components hosted in data centers • Internet: – Mail/Web servers, VoIP, IPTV, P2P directory services etc • VPNs: – Mail servers, financial/business applications etc • Many of these services require 24x7 availability • Any downtime is unacceptable – At best inconvenience users; at worst major business impact; typically has financial implications • Recent well published outages: Blackberry, Skype • Objective our work: • Business continuity in face of data center outages, both planned (planned maintenance) or unplanned (disaster recovery) Page 2 Motivation cont. Existing solutions to deal with outages are inadequate: • Local redundancy solutions – Component redundancy (hot-swappable), multiple network connections • No protection against data center outages • Existing cross data center solutions – Instance replication • Same content/service available in multiple locations • Works well for stateless services (e.g., Web servers) – Not for any statefull applications – Remote replication (either synchronous or asynchronous) • Partial solutions – Typically only deals with storage – Not seamless; involves server downtime, IP addresses change etc Page 3 Our approach • Basic approach: – Seamless live service migration across WANs • Including all components: server, data, network • Cooperative, migration aware approach – Migration manager orchestrates migration across all three subsystems • In summary: – Planned outages • Migration of both server and data – Live server migration – Performed once • Atomic switchover of network to complete migration – Unplanned outages • "Continuous live migration" – Server and data continuously replicated to remote site – On failure, atomic switchover of network Page 4 Challenges Seamless live server migration across WAN LAN based live server migration: The image of live server migration enabled by new physical –• LAN basedrunning virtual server is copied to a virtual server platform (while the server is still running on the old platform) technologies (Xen, Vmware) –Server state is synchronized between the two images • WAN based server migration –Migration software switches over to the new server with minimal – Use existing virtual server downtime (tens of milliseconds)migration "Management" connectivity as the old server (same IP address, –New• server is exactly the sameto remote site to enable image migration – Network stays intact etc) network state support to allow IP address to migrate with the (virtual) –Storage handled by through network attached storage (NAS), e.g., server NFS Migrate storage to remote site – • Server and storage remain consistent • Continuous live migration Page 5 Networking Support • IP address migration: – Challenging to move IP addresses in current Internet • Especially dynamically • Isolate impact on the rest of the network – Routing protocols don't change instantly – Connectivity changes not under data center control • Our approach: – Allow migration management system to initiate network connectivity change • Network provides API to migration manager – Time critical changes are kept local • Network-wide (routing protocol) changes not time critical – Use temporary tunnels to deal with mobility Page 6 IP Migration Primitive Migration PSa Software Physical Server (PS) PSb Data Center VSa A Data Center VSa B Virtual Server (VS) PEa PEb PEc PEd Goal: Migrate Virtual Server "a" (VSa) with IP address IPa from Physical Server "a" (PSa) in data center "A" (DCa) to Physical Server "b" (PSb) in data center "B" (DCb) Network part of migration 1. Migration software signals to "network" that IPa will (soon) migrate from PEa to PEb 2. "Network" creates a tunnel between PEa and PEb 3. Server migration executed between PSa and PSb 4. Migration software signals to "network" that switchover should take place 5. PEa switches all traffic towards IPa to tunnel between PEa and PEb which delivers the traffic to VSa in PSb. (Return traffic does not need to go through tunnel.) Page 7 IP Migration Primitive PSa Physical Server (PS) PSb VSa Data Center Data Center VSa A B Virtual Server (VS) PEa PEb PEc PEd After first five steps, server migration is done as far as migration software is concerned. Traffic towards IPa is "dog-legged" through PEa, so a few more steps remain in the network: 1. PEb starts to advertise a route to IPa with high local preference. So at this point there are two valid paths towards IPa, one though PEa and the tunnel and another directly through PEb. As routers start to learn about the newly advertised path they will prefer the direct path towards IPa and the tunnel will "dry out". IP Migration Primitive: 2. When PEa detects no more traffic flowing through the tunnel it withdraws the route for IPa (if it had a Takes care of planned maintenance without storage needs specific route for IPa) and tears down the tunnel. (E.g., VoIP network element) Page 8 Data Storage Synchronous Local Remote Asynchronous Local Remote • Existing WAN solutions: remote replication – Maintain a primary/local and remote storage system – Replicate data between primary and remote systems – One of two modes: • Synchronous: each write performed locally and remotely before return to "application" – Local and remote remains synchronized – Poor performance: both throughput and application latency • Asynchronous: local and remote allowed to diverge, replicate a consistent "snapshot" – Good performance (high throughput, low (local) latency – Potential data loss because of divergence Page 9 Migration Aware Replication Asynchronous • Our approach: Local Remote – Remote replication that can seamlessly move between synchronous and asynchronous replication Switch – Allow replication mode to be controlled by migration Synchronous management system: • Allow bulk of data to be replicated asynchronously • Switch to synchronous when needed – Final part of server migration process IP Migration Primitive + Migration Aware Replication: Takes care of planned maintenance with storage needs Page 10 Unplanned Outages • Conflicting metrics of concern – Recovery point objective (RPO) • How much data loss is acceptable? – Recovery time objective (RTO) • How long can service be down? – Cost (overhead of protection) • Range of meaning to "unplanned" – Catastrophic instantaneous failure • No notice whatsoever – But also imminent failure scenarios • Imminent equipments failure (e.g., increase in disk errors; imminent failure of fiber) • Developing natural/man-made disasters – E.g., flooding/steam pipe burst in NY, probably even with 911 – Minutes to hours to react • Existing remote replication solutions deal with storage – No support for server migration • Our goal: – Replicate data and server to allow for seamless failover Page 11 Application state requirements •Limited application state: – E.g., VoIP network element that maintains call state (for 3-way calling and mid-call events), or VoD servers (for fast-forward, random access events) – Lost session state => application impact • Inconvenience – RTO small, RPO medium • Some state loss is tolerable (drop few calls), but service has to stay up – Instrument application to initiate partial migration, when new state has been created • Statefull applications: – E.g., e-commerce applications (shopping cart, auction sites) – Lost session state => application impact • (At best) inconvenience, (at worst)application correctness, monetary impact – RTO small, RPO small (minimize state loss, site has to stay up) – Continuous (incremental) server migration • High integrity applications – E.g., financial transactions, other data base applications – RTO medium, RPO very small (absolutely no data loss, rather some downtime) – Reduce RTO with continuous (incremental) server migration Page 12 Continuous Server Migration Enabling Technology: VS record/replay Start Recording Snapshot of VS PS RECORD VS Record execution state Restore snapshot REPLAY Replay execution state • Virtual server record/replay: available from VMware – Efficient recording: track "external" events + times – Synchronize events with VM state during replay – Developed as a debugging tool Page 13 Continuous Server Migration With migration aware replication Local: RECORD REPLICATE Remote: REPLAY • Asynchronously replicate initial snapshot • Replication of execution state IP Migration Primitive + Migration Aware Replication + Continuous Server Migration: – Asynchronous if application can tolerate some state loss and execution state Takes care of unplanned outages represent consistent checkpoint – Synchronous otherwise Page 14 Status • Migration aware replication – Key building blocks prototyped • "Semantic Aware Replication" project • Gal Niv (UMass) • WAN live migration – Key building blocks prototyped (without storage) • "Live virtual router migration" project • Yi Wang (Princeton) • Continuous Server Migration – Just getting off the ground • Work in progress – Many open issues remain!

Hypothetically, could java be used to write a website instead of, say, asp.net. or php?
closed as not a real question by erickson, jjnguy, ceejayoz, ammoQ, delnan Nov 8 '10 at 22:14
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
J2EE is an entire branch of Java made towards running Java as a web server. It includes making it easy to code for distributed servers, a messaging protocol and database interaction. It's extremely powerful, well written and stable and you'll find it's used by many large web sites.
It's also very different from just coding a simple single-purpose server. Some of the complication is up-front/built in, so there is a larger initial learning curve but you won't encounter many of the problems you would if you tried to do it on your own...
For instance, imagine the most complex server-side code you've written--what would it take to make it run distributed across 2 servers (So that either server may answer any request with the requests based on server load)? If it were written in proper J2EE it would just be editing a few config files.
Some would argue that this is what Java is mostly used for! Sarcasm aside check out the Wikipedia entry for Java Enterprise Edition for the summary and of course the official Oracle Java EE website for details.
Basically there is a whole host of mature server APIs and application servers from different vendors (including Open Source vendors) that implement those APIs. Server side Java is really a mini-industry with god knows how many companies, open source projects, conferences and the like.
If you are new to server side Java you coming in at a good time, you missed the dark days EJB 1.0 and 1.1 and now there is a rather useful, if a little heavyweight set of APIs on which to build your server side applications.
Yes, it is actually quite common.
I think so. It's the basis for JSP and Java Servlets.
Yes.You can use Tomcat web container or glass fish, JBoss,... There is few frameworks, like Tapestry, JSF,...
If you meant to ask about JavaScript, yes, it certainly can.
If you encountered a .jsp extension for a page, it was definitely Java (.jsp = Java Server Pages). Of course you can generate plain HTML (or whatever you want) as well.

CHICAGO — Chicago children returned to school Wednesday, less than a day after teachers ended a seven-day strike that disrupted the daily routines of thousands of families and made the city a flashpoint in the debate over union rights and efforts to overhaul the nation's public education system.
For Erica Weiss, the resumption of classes spared her from having to take her 6-year-old daughter to work.
"I am elated. I couldn't be happier," said Weiss, who had to leave her office in the middle of the day to pick up her daughter from one of the schools that stayed open and then bring her back to her finance job downtown.
Union delegates voted overwhelmingly Tuesday evening to suspend the walkout after reviewing a proposed contract settlement with the nation's third-largest school district. They said the offer wasn't perfect, but that it included enough concessions on proposed new teacher evaluations, recall rights for laid-off teachers and classroom conditions.
The contract will now be submitted to a vote by the union's full membership of more than 26,000 teachers and support staffers.
The strike stranded roughly 350,000 students and left many parents scrambling to arrange alternative care for their children even though the district kept more than 140 schools open for several hours a day for meals and activities.
Some parents expressed hope Wednesday that the tentative agreement would benefit students in a district grappling with high dropout rates and poor performance.
"They'll win from the strike," said Leslie Sabbs-Kizer, referring to her children as she walked them to a South Side elementary school.
Wilonda Cannon, a single mother raising her four children in North Lawndale, a poor West Side neighborhood beset by gang shootings, said she was relieved that her two youngest were returning to class after spending the last seven weekdays with their grandfather.
She said she hoped the agreement was the beginning of something new for Chicago's public school system, which has long struggled with high drop-out rates and low test scores. It will take months if not years before parents and teachers will see whether the changes and contract provisions pay off for students.
"I don't know all the ins and outs (of the contract negotiations) ... but it does seem as though it's a step in the right direction," Cannon said.
As the strike dragged into a second week, Mayor Rahm Emanuel sought a court order to send teachers back to the classroom, a request that was moot after schools reopened.
"This is an exciting day for the city of Chicago," Emanuel said Wednesday. "I'm excited that the kids are back doing the most important thing," learning in the classroom.

Pension funds in new crisis as deficit hole grows
Sep 5, 2011, 7:02 a.m.
The widely used rule of thumb is that a 50 basis points fall in the discount rate roughly results in a 10 percent increase in liabilities.
"Things look substantially worse now than they were during the credit crisis," said Pat Race, senior partner at investment consultancy Mercer.
In reaction to the past few years of an equity decline and volatility, many pension funds are indeed planning to buy more bonds, a move highlighted by Mercer's survey of over 1,000 European DB pension funds in May.
"Trustees do want to de-risk but financial directors have irrational desire to have equities. They are too wedded to equity markets," Race said.
"You still have massive uncertainties with a potential for another dip into recession. I don't see any reversion to days when equities are dominant part of DB plans."
JP Morgan's data shows pension funds and insurance companies in the United States, euro zone, Japan and UK bought $173 billion of bonds in the first quarter, boosting their bond buying for the third quarter in a row.
At the same time, they cut equity buying for a fifth quarter in a row, selling $22 billion of stocks in Q1.
In Europe, pension funds slashed their weightings for equities to an average of 31.6 percent in 2011 from 43.8 percent in 2006, while fixed income holdings rose to 54 percent from 47.8 percent in the same period, according to Mercer.
Growing pension funds deficits on corporate balance sheets may make it more difficult for companies to access credit and discourage firms which are already hoarding cash from spending cash to expand business.
For wider financial markets, the giant industry's gradual move away from stocks could hit equity risk premium -- excess return of equities over risk-free securities which compensates investors for taking on the relatively higher risk.
This may reinvigorate an academic debate where some economic analysis suggests the equity risk premium should be small, in most cases less than half a percentage point, as opposed to the widely-used range of 4-6 percent.
Indeed, 10-year U.S. Treasuries gave higher total returns in the past 10 years on a rolling basis than world stocks. http://link.reuters.com/nyv53s
"The puzzle... is that for the past 20 years, there has been no net equity risk premium. With the recent sell-off in risk and the rally in bonds, I think there might have been a net premium on bonds," Stephen Jen, managing partner at SLJ Macro Partners, said in a note to clients.
"This has turned financial theory on its head, and managers of pension funds and sovereign wealth funds need to think about this very carefully."

Want to see what this recipe costs at different supermarkets? Compare in one place here:
- Soak 8 wooden skewers in water. Toast all the whole spices in a small pan. Tip into a mortar and grind with a pestle, then mix in with the paprika, harissa, garlic and cinnamon. Scrape into a bowl with the meat, season and squish together with your fingers. Mould the mix into 8 long kebabs, straight onto the skewers. Can be done up to a day ahead.
- When the coals are ashen, barbecue for 10-15 mins, turning occasionally, until cooked through. The fat from the kebabs can cause flare-ups, so be careful. While the kebabs are cooking, mix all the ingredients for the yogurt. Scatter the kebabs and yogurt with coriander, and serve with extra harissa and warm flatbreads.

Comments, questions and tips
Thought these were really fantastic. Not what I would usually think of making but the recipe came up when I was searching for recipes for minced lamb and as I had all the spices to hand I thought I would give it a try. As it is the middle of winter we weren't going to fire up the bbq so I moulded the mixture around metal skewers and cooked them on a rack in the oven. The spices were perfect for our taste. I also made a straightforward raita and served them with coriander and garlic naan bread which was what I had in. This made a really different and most enjoyable mid week meal.

There are only three things standing in the way of companion bills in the Washington Legislature that would solve two grievous failures of our current marijuana laws: The hard-to-dispel mental image of dull-eyed teenagers who have blown out that little light of theirs with bong hits. The adult political will to dispel that mental image and […] [Read More]

The Peli VersaBrite 3 LED provides hands-free illumination and a pivoting head to direct the light to your area of focus. The spring loaded clip allows you to connect the Peli Versabrite to shirts, caps, pockets, duty vests or any other part of your uniform, and as it is very light it will not pull down on your clothes. At just 7.6cm in length it can easily be carried in a pocket, toolbox or glove compartment. Now Zone 1 tried and tested!
The VersaBrite 3 LED is activated simply by flipping the pivoting head upwards. Using two CR2032 coin-cell batteries, it gives around 100 hours of light per battery set. The LEDs will not need replacing.

The Peli Versabrite 3 is great little torch so you can see when writing in your PBN at night. Its plenty bright enough for note taking but not a lot else. It's so lightweight that you don't even notice your wearing it. To turn it on you just pop the head open and point the light where you want it. It really could not get much easier!
However if your vest has KlickFast docks, you are going to have to spend a bit more to buy an adapter which turns an already pricey torch into an expensive one.
It suggests you get 34 hours from the batteries, which to be fair is a lot of writing in your note book, but when they do run out you can't just get some from the stationary cupboard as you will need special button cells for it. However I'm ok with this as they enable you to have a lightweight and compact torch.
I have the black one to match my vest, but they also come in Yellow to match the Hi-Vis vests, so something for everybody!
• Small & lightweight
• Simple one-handed operation
• Long battery life
• No quibble replacement guarantee
• Can switch on when unwanted
• Needs a separate KlickFast adaptor to dock securely
• Fiddly battery replacement
• High price per lumen
The Peli Versabrite3 has become the defacto standard hands-free light for uniformed officers for some years now and for many good reasons. When mounted on your upper chest (preferably in a KlickFast dock) it is ideal for hands-free operations, such as:
- Ticket writing
- Immediate area illumination
- Writing PNB in the dark
- Discrete backup light
- Officer safety presence indicator (traffic control)
The initial layout is quite a bit, especially if you get the KlickFast dock adapter which is an optional extra, but the use you get from it makes it worthwhile.
I've now owner two for over 5 years (one black and one yellow) and am really pleased with them. They are invaluable when I want some light to see to write with, or go somewhere where I want a soft light in an area immediately around me. They supplement, not replace, a full size power torch.
With a simple flick of the hand, the LED head of the unit is lifted to turn it on, and the light can be angled up or down as desired, and then left in position until pushed down to turn off.
The black and yellow colours blend in very well with black and yellow duty uniform respectively, made of light-weight plastic and low profile, so they give little for an assailant to grab onto in a struggle and are very unlikely to be damaged in a bundle.
In the unlikely event that it does get damaged, the no-quibble replacement guarantee can be used to get a replacement from the manufacturer (which I have yet to have cause to use, but know of colleagues who have).
Battery life is definitely good, and use 2 readily available 2032 coin cells. Replacement of the batteries is a bit fiddly, having to remove three small Phillips screws, but not prone to fall out. They may need to be replaced more frequently if you are unfortunate to knock the light as you put your kit away, but generally last me quite a few months of duties before needed to be replaced.
All in all, they really are one of the few indispensable items that every uniformed officer should purchase as their first kit addition.

I'm still not shedding any tears for Mediacom. Mediacom has a rep for poor management and a CEO who is a blowhard because Mediacom has poor management and the CEO is a blowhard. You tell me...why do you think the cable industry has been boxed in by the content providers?I don't want to put you in the uncomfortable position of defending the prices you charge for TV service that is pretty crappy...and I'm not talking about the content(well..yes the content of Family cable is poor). Have you actually sat down and watched Mediacom TV as provided by a DTA? The picture is pretty horrible. And no, there is nothing wrong with my signal or my TVs.You can bow out or keep replying...it's up to you.
Netflix wants their competitors to let them ride on their networks free of charge and on Netflix's terms. That doesn't benefit ISPs when it competes with your own product offering. It also puts substantial stress on the network, requiring upgrades that Netflix won't be footing the bill for.
Netflix has gotten big enough that they are trying to push ISPs around.
well bainch since were on the cap x subjectwhen is mediacom going to get redudant systems for internet. These Fiber Cuts are getting old. No way one piece of fiber should kill a whole state.
so who else will you be using for tier 1 peering?

My small but dense Sweetheart Lychee tree
Hello everyone, so here are some pictures of my small potted Sweetheart Lychee tree. I love this tree like it is my own son. When I first got it about 2 years ago, it was very small and thin but had excellent proportions. I puposely chose a small tree that I could train. During the first year, I let the roots grow out and it grew vegetatively very slowly.
In the second year, I started forming the main tree branches by weighing down each of the three trifurcated main branches. I didn't use any support or brace for the tree because I knew that the wind blowing on the branches would eventually make it stronger.
I only gave it small amounts of organic fertilizer in the second year because I didn't want it to grow too fast because I am about to move. Several months ago, it started branching out like crazy and it is currently in its second flush. This second Summer flush is absolutely beautiful with almost no burnt tips. All my other previous growth flushes had serious burnt tips due mainly to being wind whipped by our frequent Santa Anna (very dry windy) conditions.
My tree is 3 1/2 feet tall and about 4 feet wide with branches out everywhere. I plucked off all the lower branches that were growing off the main trunk like Lycheesonline recommends. This should make it easier for me to mulch the soil beneath the canopy when the tree gets larger and leaving 2 feet of main trunk before the trifurcation is supposed to help the tree in windy conditions.
I hope to close escrow in a month or so and can't wait to finally plant this tree into the ground. I hope to get some fruit from it within 3 years.
Thanks for the compliments everyone! Ohiojay, my tree started out really scrawny but it is developing really nicely now. I bet your tree will turn out really nice once it gets some size on it. Do you have any current pictures?
Thanks puglvr1, didn't you have a Sweetheart tree also?
Phase, I just can't wait untill my tree gets as large as yours
Keirapham, I use Kellogs Organic potting soil with lots of organic compost, a little composted cow manure and I placed lots of dried dead leaves on top of the soil. I innoculated with beneficial bacteria, micorrhizal fungi, and also with red and earthworms. I only fertilized it once with organic kelp/fish emulsion about three months ago because I didn't want it to grow to large. I water it three times a week because its in a pot, once its in the ground, I'll water it much less.
Hi Simon,
Yes, I have two lychee trees(in ground)...one is a Sweetheart and apparently the one I bought labeled "Brewster" might be
Sweet Cliff(no problem) this one turned out to be excellent!
I planted My Sweetheart almost 2 1/2 years ago. Funny, I planted my Sweet Cliff one month later yet my SC is almost 3x fuller more dense than my Sweetheart. Growth habit between the two are very different.
Hey puglvr1, lets see some pictures of your Sweetheart tree :)
Thanks north tree man, any updates on all your lychee trees. Your trees look absolutely healthy the last time you posted and you are the only one I know that has flowered and fruited lychees in zone 7. I bet your Emperor will fruit this year since it didn't last year.
I just bumped this thread to see if anyone can determine the variety of Lychee this tree is by looking at the leaves. I know that for some varieties like Hak Ip, its easy to tell. This tree was labeled Sweetheart when I bought it but nurseries often make mistakes. I have no reason to believe it is not a Sweetheart but I won't feel confident untill I taste the fruit for myself. The leaves are fairly large which is a Sweetheart charcteristic and the first flowers to open were also female which is another Sweetheart characteristic.
its not a Brewster
here are my lychee leaves, Sweetheart, Mauritus and Brewster
i think its a sweetheart because brewster has rounder leaves with burned tips and Mauritius is more of an upright grower. your potted lychee has the exact same growth habit as my Sweetheart.
what varieties did the nursery carry?
Hey Mango Kush, they had Emperor, Hak Ip, Brewster, Mauritius, Bengal, Sweet Cliff, Kaimana and Sweetheart. Thanks for your evaluation. My eyes are horrible when it comes to discerning the differnt subtleties of the lychee leaves. They all look the same to me accept for Hak Ip and some of the varieties with very narrow leaves or bent leaves.
The close ups of the leaves were a newly hardened growth flush and thats why is looked so green. Some of the older leaves are actually very large and slightly more rounded. I'll be sure to post updates soon and also hopefully post some pics of my harvest if I get any to hold. I'll cross my fingers.
Mango Kush, after seeing the leaves of Kaimana and Bengal that you posted, I feel much more confident that it's Sweetheart. The leaves on my tree are actually pretty large compared to the leaves above. I would definitely be happy with Kaimana, Sweet Cliff or Bengal. I just want to avoid Brewster and Mauritius because we get those in the markets during Lychee season.
Thanks Bo, I love this tree so much. I move it into the garage when it gets too windy, water it when it looks dry and hand pollinate all the flowers that I see.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Chris Broadbent | 12 Jan 2012 15:45 GMT | Sport, Australia, Italy, Singapore
Ah, the comeback. Every sports fan loves it. It's the intrigue and fascination as to whether the superhero of yesteryear can re-capture the magic and astound us all over again. Almost always the answer is 'no'.
Michael Schumacher's Formula 1 comeback has left most fans of the sport cringing at the sight of the German great's struggles against younger, faster opponents. There have been worse ones - like tennis legend Bjorn Borg's return in 1991 after eight years away from the sport that resulted in 13 straight losses and an ignominious return to retirement.
But that doesn't stop us watching on - even if we're peeping through our fingers. It appeals to the curious nature in many of us.
Every so often, the comeback can work out. The greatest example is surely George Foreman regaining boxing's Heavyweight Championship in 1994, twenty years after he lost the title to Muhammed Ali in the 'Rumble in the Jungle'.
But, the old adage 'never go back' is one which is generally best obeyed by sportsmen and sportswomen alike. In no other sphere than sport is talent so brutally stripped away by the onset of time. Musicians may lose their youthful edge, but Mick Jagger can still rock Wembley Stadium. Could Pele?
English football has revelled in the comeback to the top level of two Premiership greats at in recent days in Manchester United's Paul Scholes and Arsenal's Thierry Henry. In truth, the English FA Cup competition has lost much of its lustre in recent years but the return of Scholes and Henry in third round ties at the weekend generated an excitement verging on frenzy.
Henry even delivered on the hype, coming off the bench to side-foot the winner as Arsenal overcame Leeds 1-0 in front of an adoring Emirates Stadium crowd. Scholes was less convincing in his substitute appearance and looked rusty as United held off City 3-2 in the Manchester derby.
In football, both these players are highly unlikely to tarnish their legacies as world class players. They are simply helping out the clubs they love. Should they succeed, then great. If they fail, it will be no big deal. But it's a whole different matter in individual sports. Then the spotlight and the public are a whole lot less forgiving.
Drowning in expectation
In Olympic year, the biggest comeback story is Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe. He retired in 2006 citing a lack of motivation as the reason. After an eight-year career at the top of his sport, nine Olympic medals and 16 World Championship medals, he bowed out at the top.
Even if Michael Phelps stunning eight golds at the subsequent Beijing Olympics in 2008 meant the 'Thorpedo' couldn't really lay a claim anymore on being the greatest swimmer ever, his place in Olympic folklore was safe. It will remain so.
But his recent comeback is in serious danger of ending this pool legend's career on a rather soggy footnote. He announced last February of his intentions to make the Australian team for London 2012 and so far it looks a distant dream.
In his first competitions back in Singapore, Beijing and Riccione, Italy he has been off the pace and far from the world-record breaker a decade back.
This weekend he will race for their first time in his home country in five years as he tackles the 100m and 200m freestyle at the Victoria State Championships in Melbourne.
It all leads towards the Australian Olympic Trials in Adelaide in March.
In his favoured 200m freestyle, Thorpe's recent time of 1:51:51 in Riccione is seven seconds off his lifetime best and four seconds off the Australian A Olympic qualifying standard. Those are yawning gaps in elite level sport. But there is little yawning amongst the public.
The trials will be a sell-out and covered live on Australian national television, such is the fascination with the sport Down Under. On this occasion, the rest of the world might just share some of that interest thanks to the comebacking Thorpe.

Don't ignore the hype, there is every reason to enjoy Thierry Henry's dazzling return to Arsenal and the Premier League.

Man electrocuted while trimming a tree in Hollywood
Hollywood Police are calling the electrocution of a man while trimming trees a freak accident.
When rescue workers arrived in the 2800 block of Dewey Street on Friday, the unidentified man was dead in a tree, police said.
Authorities say it appears the man, who appeared to be in his 50s, died instantly. He was not the homeowner, police said.
Hollywood Detectives were still working the case late Friday.

M ??? 7.0 earthquake recurrence on the San Andreas fault from a stress renewal model

AbstractForecasting M ??? 7.0 San Andreas fault earthquakes requires an assessment of their expected frequency. I used a three-dimensional finite element model of California to calculate volumetric static stress drops from scenario M ??? 7.0 earthquakes on three San Andreas fault sections. The ratio of stress drop to tectonic stressing rate derived from geodetic displacements yielded recovery times at points throughout the model volume. Under a renewal model, stress recovery times on ruptured fault planes can be a proxy for earthquake recurrence. I show curves of magnitude versus stress recovery time for three San Andreas fault sections. When stress recovery times were converted to expected M ??? 7.0 earthquake frequencies, they fit Gutenberg-Richter relationships well matched to observed regional rates of M ??? 6.0 earthquakes. Thus a stress-balanced model permits large earthquake Gutenberg-Richter behavior on an individual fault segment, though it does not require it. Modeled slip magnitudes and their expected frequencies were consistent with those observed at the Wrightwood paleoseismic site if strict time predictability does not apply to the San Andreas fault.
