Dr. Rajiv Shah led the efforts of nearly 10,000 staff in more than 70 countries around the world to advance USAID's mission of ending extreme poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies.
Under Dr. Shah's leadership, USAID applied innovative technologies and engaged the private sector to solve the world's most intractable development challenges. This new model of development brings together an increasingly diverse community—from large companies to local civil society groups to communities of faith—to deliver meaningful results.
Dr. Shah led President Obama's landmark Feed the Future and Power Africa initiatives and has refocused America's global health partnerships to end preventable child death. Feed the Future, alone, has improved nutrition for 12 million children and empowered more than 7 million farmers with climate-smart tools they need to grow their way out of extreme poverty. In April 2014, USAID launched the U.S. Global Development Lab to harness the expertise of the world's brightest scientists, students, and entrepreneurs. At the same time, the newly formed Private Capital Group for Development forges a more strategic relationship between private capital and development.
Dr. Shah also managed the U.S. Government's humanitarian response to catastrophic crises around the world, from the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
Through an extensive set of reforms called "USAID Forward," Dr. Shah worked with the United States Congress to transform USAID into the world's premier development Agency that prioritizes public-private partnerships, innovation, and meaningful results. He currently serves on the boards of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation and the Millennium Challenge Corporation, as well as participates on the National Security Council.
Previously, Dr. Shah served as Undersecretary and Chief Scientist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he created the National Institute for Food and Agriculture. Prior to joining the Obama Administration, he spent eight years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he led efforts in global health, agriculture, and financial services, including the creation of the International Finance Facility for Immunization.
He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, and the Wharton School of Business. He regularly appears in the media and has delivered keynote addresses before the U.S. Military Academy, the National Prayer Breakfast, and diverse audiences across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Shah was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He has served as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, been named to Fortune's 40 Under 40, and has received multiple honorary degrees.
He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife Shivam Mallick Shah and three children and has given up mountain climbing for family bicycle rides.
USAID is proud to be a partner with the GVN in these important efforts to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. Since 1989, the U.S. Government has provided over $54 million in assistance to people with disabilities, regardless of cause. In collaboration with the GVN and partners such as the Vietnam Assistance to the Handicapped, we have been able to contribute to the development of Vietnam's National Law on Disability, Accessibility Codes and Standards for public transportation, public construction and access to information. In addition, we have been contributing to the establishment of the Blue Ribbon Employer Council that promotes employment for PWDs, the establishment of the National Coordinating Council on Disabilities and the Vietnam Disability Federation to promote enforcement of the disability law and policies.
It is my pleasure to represent the United States Government and the American people at this grant signing ceremony for the Sustaining Malaria Reduction Interventions in Ethiopia program. First, I would like to begin by congratulating Dr. Kesetebirhan, on his promotion to Minister of Health and thank him for his long-standing commitment and contribution to public health and especially to malaria control efforts in Ethiopia.
Today's action plan is an unprecedented approach to coordinate the efforts of more than 30 government offices within seven agencies in 100 countries and to unite them with a common purpose, with three core objectives: Every child survives and gets healthy food, Every child grows up in the protective and nurturing embrace of a family, and Every child is safe from violence and exploitation.
We've always known that achieving these goals is within our power, but today—for the first time—we have a real, evidence-based, results-oriented plan to get us there. It is a plan that doesn't just describe our aspirations, but outlines specific and achievable outcomes we must deliver. And it is a plan that doesn't just describe the challenges we face, but cites specific scientific studies that underpin our learning and inform our new approaches.
I am greatly honored to be here today to launch USAID Ethiopia's flagship program for pastoral Ethiopia called Pastoralist Areas Resilience Improvement through Market Expansion, known by its acronym PRIME. The word "prime" means to catalyze. We aim to catalyze improvements in the livelihoods of pastoral peoples, including the women who play critical economic and social roles in the wellbeing of families and communities; we aim to catalyze livestock production and markets, and to catalyze the ability of those populations most vulnerable to climate change to adapt and respond without undue suffering
Mexico and the United States have a shared border, a shared history, and, increasingly, a shared road to prosperity based on partnership between our two peoples. When they met in Washington in late November, President Obama and President Peña Nieto articulated a common vision that puts even closer economic integration and prosperity at the forefront of the U.S.-Mexico relationship. My visit and the program we are launching today are a tangible reflection of this.
The demand for justice and security is what brings us here today. In Guatemala and other Central American countries, the United States has long emphasized the importance of institutional capacity building. Today is an opportunity to reaffirm our partnership with Guatemala to improve citizen security and bolster the rule of law.
The USAID Security and Justice Sector Reform Project works hand-in-hand with the Supreme Court, the Ministry of Governance, the Public Ministry, the Institute of Public Defense and the National Forensic Institute to improve internal systems and processes thereby building more effective institutions.
HANOI -- It is a pleasure to be here with you today for this important workshop. It's a workshop that will provide an opportunity to review and formulate a policy that will improve the economic livelihood of people living with HIV and AIDS, their families, and communities. But first, you will hear about successful strategies for increasing access to credit and working capital so PLHIV and other vulnerable populations can create employment for themselves and others.
It's wonderful to come together as the year is winding down and the excitement of the holidays and the New Year is beginning. In preparing for today, I was reflecting on all the reasons we've come together over the past few years for townhalls and big events. They've been opportunities to celebrate our work, discuss our concerns, and share some innovative ideas for the future.
It is with deep humility and respect that we gather here today to honor one of our own, Ragaei Abdelfattah. To Ragaei's family—his wife Angela, his two sons Omar and Ali, their mother Heba, and members of his family at home in Cairo—our prayers are with you. We are grateful for the sacrifices you made to support Ragaei in his life's work. We know it was not easy.
We are honored to be joined by our colleagues from the White House, the Department of Defense, and the State Department, including Under Secretary Patrick Kennedy and Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield. In his devotion to his family and his work, Ragaei represented the very best among us.
It is a solemn occasion as we gather today to honor and remember our friend and colleague, Ragaei Abdelfattah, a beloved member of our USAID family. From what I've learned about Ragaei, he would want us here today not only to mourn, but to celebrate. To celebrate his commitment to a better world. To celebrate his devotion to family. To celebrate his enthusiasm for appreciating challenges, then besting them… To celebrate a life well-lived.

Version 23 (modified by thijs, 5 years ago) (diff) |
This document is a draft
How to do a pre-release
- File a ticket (e.g. #4290)
- Check buildbot to make sure all supported platforms are green (wait for pending builds if necessary).
- Make a branch (e.g. mkbranch Twisted release-4290)
- Run ./bin/admin/change-versions XX.YY.ZZpreN
- Commit the changes made by change-versions
- Run ./bin/admin/build-news .
- Commit the changes made by build-news
- Make a temporary directory for the tarballs to live in (e.g. mkdir /tmp/twisted-release)
- Run ./bin/admin/build-tarballs . /tmp/twisted-release/
- Upload the tarballs to a public website
- Announce the pre-release on
- the twisted-python mailing list
- on IRC in the #twisted topic
- in a blog post, ideally labs.twistedmatrix.com
Open questions
- How do I decide the version number?
- Do we need to commit the changes from build-news for pre-releases?
- They leave the pre-release version in the NEWS files when doing pre-releases
- But build-tarballs won't work with uncommitted changes
- How do we manage the case where there are untested builds in trunk?
- How/when in this process are the Windows installers and/or MacOS .dmg files created? See #3279.
- (I presume .deb and .rpm packages are left up to Linux distro packagers)
- How/when in this process are the docs built?
- When should the front page of the wiki be updated?
- Test change-versions with pre-releases
- There should be a template for release announcements
- Pre-release announcements should include an exhortation to test
- Release announcements should include actual NEWS summaries and maybe a pointer to the full thing
- There are missing scripts:
- for uploading pre-release tarballs
- Need a standard place to upload tarballs
- for signing tarballs
- for uploading release tarballs
- for uploading pre-release tarballs
Suggestions for additions to pre-release steps
- pick a release quote :)
- bump copyrights in trunk/LICENSE, trunk/twisted/_version.py and trunk/README
- Delete the news NNNN.bugfix etc files after building trunk/NEWS
- Check the milestone for the upcoming release, get rid of any non-critical bugs
- Check for any open tickets marked regressions, get them fixed
- A thought for future releases: since we'd really like folks to download the prereleases and try them out, perhaps we should put the NEWS file on the web somewhere official, too, so they can see all the cool stuff they can try out?
- "Other fixes" and maybe all tickets should be links when they are on the web
- Document how and when to tag releases in SVN.
- Read through the NEWS files and write a summary of the interesting changes for the release
- Read the INSTALL file, check the required Python version. If it mentions supported platforms, check that the list matches the current set of buildbots.
- Get cube access
For the release itself
- Remove the 'pre'
- Add the quote of the release
- Make new tarballs
- Upload to the official upload locations:
- <radix> jml: cube:/srv/www-data/twisted/Releases/<Project>/<First two parts of version number>/*
- Announce more fully:
- python-announce
- PyPI
- Launchpad
- labs.twistedmatrix.com
- twisted-python
- twisted-web
- Packaging
- Do we need to do anything for Debian / Ubuntu?
Packaging not necessary, there's no good way to make an installer that overrides the default Pythonsee #3279- Definitely need instructions for OS X-using developers who want to use a more recent version of Twisted
- Win32 - see trunk/win32/maintainer-notes.txt
- eggs?

I have just finished some mods to the Uncle Sam and wish to check them out on Kevin Price's nice model submarine. As some of you may remember the Uncle Sam was called to rescue one of Kevin's boats at the Devils Den. Well, due to Kevin's poor planing and not having bumpers along the hull of his super nice model the Sam was unable to render assistance unless you think running over his sub model several times is helping (some do, haha).
So my new mods will/should allow the tug to hold her hull to the subs hull and push the sub to shore.
Please mark your calenders for Dec 2nd so we can meet at Gilligan's Island (see previous posts for location and directions). i have several SCDS sub captains already on line to show up and allow me to experiment on their fine models so make every effort to escape the port and show up.
We should/shall start at around 10am and finish when we are tired of each other or have drained our batteries or both.
Charlie Johnson
Head Muck Raker
P.S. If you need any info let me know at firstname.lastname@example.com Just title your email as Dec 2 Gilligan's Island.

Banged-up Braves going for series victory vs. Reds
Teheran starts with Heyward, Uptons out; Cingrani goes for Cincy
The All-Star break is arriving at a perfect time for the Braves, who suddenly find themselves without the services of Jason Heyward, B.J. Upton and Justin Upton. But first, Atlanta must make it through one more game with a patchwork outfield.
The Braves will host the Reds for the finale of a four-game series on Sunday afternoon at Turner Field, trying to complete a series victory after taking two of the first three. The National League East leaders pulled out a win on Saturday, their first since all three were injured.
Heyward left Thursday's game in the second inning when he strained his right hamstring while running the bases. On Friday, B.J. Upton strained his right adductor muscle diving for a line drive in the first inning, and his brother exited in the seventh with a left calf strain. None will return until at least Friday, when the Braves come back from the All-Star break.
With Jordan Schafer already on the disabled list, the Braves called up Jose Constanza on Saturday and gave him the start in left field. Reed Johnson played center, and rookie Joey Terdoslavich was in right. Atlanta still generated enough offense against the Reds' Homer Bailey to emerge with a 5-2 win, with the three outfielders going a combined 7-for-11.
On Sunday, the Braves will face rookie left-hander Tony Cingrani, who is 3-1 with a 3.30 ERA in 14 games, including nine starts. This will be his third outing since rejoining the rotation on July 3.
Cingrani, who has never faced Atlanta, held the Brewers to two runs on three hits over seven innings on Tuesday, striking out 10. The only damage against him came in the fifth when he walked Martin Maldonado and gave up a home run to Logan Schafer.
"Two mistakes. Walking Maldonado after being 0-2 and the first pitch to Schafer. I was trying to get ahead of him and he jumps me," Cingrani said. "I did my job. It's frustrating you can't get a win, but it's a game."
The Braves will counter with Julio Teheran (7-4, 3.09), who is facing the Reds for the first time. The 22-year-old has dominated over his past 14 starts, with a 2.36 ERA and 5.6 strikeouts per walk.
Teheran picked up a victory against the Marlins on Tuesday, when he gave up four runs (one earned) on seven hits in 7 1/3 innings.
Reds: Streak over for bullpen
Cincinnati's bullpen had its scoreless streak stopped at 32 2/3 innings on Friday night when the Braves' Freddie Freeman hit a two-out RBI single off closer Aroldis Chapman. The streak spanned 10 games and set a modern franchise record.
The bullpen gave up another run on Saturday, when Alfredo Simon served up a home run to Dan Uggla in the seventh inning. Cincinnati began the day ranked 13th in the Majors in relievers' ERA, at 3.47.
• Left fielder Chris Heisey hit leadoff for the first time this season on Saturday and went 1-for-4 with a double. Heisey had started 30 games there in his career, including 11 last season.
Shin-Soo Choo hit second, and Zack Cozart dropped to seventh in the order.
Braves: Constanza makes a splash
In his first game with the Braves this season, Constanza went 3-for-4 with an RBI out of the leadoff spot. He was hitting .263 with a .320 on-base percentage and 18 stolen bases for Triple-A Gwinnett this season.
Constanza had played 79 games for Atlanta over the past two seasons, hitting .281 with a .332 on-base percentage.
• Needing a roster spot for Constanza and not ready to send anyone to the DL, the Braves optioned left-handed reliever Alex Wood to Gwinnett on Saturday. The rookie owns a 2.45 ERA in 16 games this season, including one start, but after throwing 3 2/3 innings on Friday, he likely would not have been available before the All-Star break anyway.
Worth noting
• Choo went 2-for-4 on Saturday, extending his hitting streak to 11 games. Choo is 19-for-46 (.413) with four doubles and five walks over that span.
• Teheran has a 1.79 ERA over his last seven home starts.

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich may be known for standing up to his political rivals, but he failed to win over a penguin at a zoo, and he has a bite mark to remind him.
Officials at the St. Louis Zoo said the GOP contender was on a paid private tour of the park Friday when he had a close encounter with a Magellanic penguin, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
"During that visit, as Speaker Gingrich indicated in an interview with a national media outlet, he was nipped on the finger by a penguin," Susan Gallagher, zoo public relations director, said in a statement. "A Band-Aid took care of the injury."
According to the publication, Gingrich was in town to speak at the National Rifle Association convention.
The former House speaker has visited several zoos on the campaign trail, including parks in Des Moines, Iowa; New Orleans; and San Diego.

If anybody knows Karl Maurer's e-mail address including Karl himself. Could I please obtain.
I'd like to ask Carl about the opportunity at the next subregatta in getting hold of extra powerpoints. I remember in 2006 how there seemed to be maybe one or 2 powerpoints in that tiny little room of to the side of the pool and everybody was piggybacking off it. Could we get some more extensions from somewhere for the 2008 subregatta?
just a thought.....

It want that he never missed but he had a chance on every shot you could leave him with.
I played Dave Broxson (sp?) in a little handicapped 9-ball tournament we had at a local pool hall. Didn't know who he was, nor did the TD, so he came in incognito, although one of the better road players in Florida, I've heard. Just a few years later he gave eventual US 9-ball Open champion John Schmidt his only loss that year, on his way to a 5th place finish himself. (Schmidt eventually avenged his loss beating Broxson on the one-loss side late in the tourney.)
He played on the lemon, artfully just missing shots while leaving bubkus, so as not to blow his cover. Eventually he left me a tricky backcut bank on the rail which I know, and that got me out in a very short race. That got me to the finals against his girlfriend, who had been learning from a series of road player boyfriends. I had to give her weight since no one knew how she played, and lost the finals to her.

"He played on the lemon, artfully just missing shots while leaving bubkus, so as not to blow his cover."
I see this a lot when I get a killer player's game, especially in tournaments. I am no newbie but I do still get treated like one, and by some of the stellar local players I've known a long time. Luckily, I now play a very good player with a nice spot and he and I trade money but learn each other's game. That is what billiards is supposed to be like, not "the hustle." It just ain't that way though, and to be honest...I am deceiving too at different venues.
Been in the same place with the GFs of strong players too. I learned to always keep a keen eye on those as well. I know an honest game, and I like to keep my cash by not being sucked in.
Congrats on the back cut. sid
"If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room!"
Thanks! The difficulty was missing the double kiss as it was on the rail, but as the late 'Professor' Grady Matthews used to say (to the delight of his ex-wives, he'd mention), I knew that shot! LOL! Just some speed and English. (It's possible I learned that from one of his instructional tapes in fact.)

More revenues? What about the spending cuts?
"There is no doubt we need additional revenue, coupled with smart spending reductions in order to bring down our deficit," he said during a CBS News interview aired right before the Super Bowl.
That raises a few questions.
1. If he really wants to reduce the deficit, why did he produce four straight budgets with deficits of more than $1 trillion?
2. Does anyone really believe that his new budget (which was due on Monday, by the way) will contain no new spending and instead devote all new revenues to deficit reduction?
3. If revenues are to be "coupled with smart spending reductions," then shouldn't both come at the same time? Why is it always revenues first, spending reductions later?
Republicans in the U.S. House need to insist that the President present real spending reductions before or in conjunction with his plan to raise revenue. Then they should insist that the spending cuts be passed and signed into law before any vote on revenue is taken. Let's not fall again for the "I'll cut spending after you raise taxes" trick.

Latest news
Start of session tips
From Monday, traffic congestion around the Wollongong Campus will be at its peak, and parking pushed to the limit for the start of Autumn Session. Congestion will be highest around 8:30am and 5:30pm, and also around half past the hour when lectures start. It will also peak in Week 2 when tutorials commence. Security and Traffic Controllers will advise and assist drivers at major intersections, so please follow their directions.
Consider changing your arrival time to try and avoid congestion and delays. You could use alternative routes and University entrances like the Robsons Road entry into the Western Carpark. Please exercise caution if you are driving, and take care when changing lanes or braking, particularly down Mt Ousley Road.
Try carpooling with three people in a car to receive free parking in P4, and reduce the number of cars coming to campus. If you don't have to drive, or are not carpooling, we recommend avoiding bringing your car to campus.
Have a look through the website to work out what options you have for sustainable commuting using the train, Opal bus, one of the four free shuttle bus services, or cycling, walking or skateboarding!
Northfields Ave Bus interchange upgrade
Work is underway to upgrade the Northfields Ave bus interchange. This work involves providing a wider footpath and more bus shelters to make it better and safer for you when you catch the bus.
Buses are operating from temporary stops outside UniCentre (Building 11) and outside the Botanic Gardens.
For more information see News and Events.

New shuttle bus services
New iC Shuttle
A new trial bus service is coming in 2015! Do you travel from the Innovation Campus to the Wollongong Campus? Or live near Campus East, Gundi, Keiraview or Weerona College? Catch the new FREE iC Shuttle!
This service starts from 23 February 2015 and links the Innovation Campus with the Wollongong Campus during peak periods in the morning and afternoon.
New route and timetable for GK Shuttle
We've also made changes to the GK Shuttle for 2015 to make it better for more people. This service now runs in a clockwise loop through Keiraville, Gwynneville and Wollongong stopping near many accommodation campuses. This service no longer runs around the Ring Road, but instead stops on Northfields Ave.
See you on the bus!
New Route 41 "Dapto" bus a bonus for Unanderra and Figtree too
UOW's Sustainable Transport Strategy
The University of Wollongong's Transport Project commenced in 2008. It aims to improve the transport experience for students and staff, and encourage a shift from private vehicles to more sustainable forms of transport including public transport, walking, and cycling.
Find out more about the Sustainable Transport Strategy.
Bike Maintenance stations
Need to pump up your tyres or tighten your brakes?
Wollongong Campus now has two 'do it yourself' bike service stations to help keep your pushie in tip top condition. These are located on the south side of Building 20, and north of the UniBar in the Jugglers lawn. Happy cycling.
Shuttle and Parking APPs
for iPhone and Android
Want to know how long til the next shuttle bus? Checkout the UOW Shuttle iPhone app or Android app. This gives you the times for the next 55, NG or GK shuttle going your way. You can also track the location of the NG or GK shuttle on the dynamic map.
There is also a UOW Parking iPhone app and Android app. The app lists available spaces for ticket, permit or carpool to help find that elusive parking spot. Note - we strongly encourage you to car pool if you are bringing a car to campus for many reasons, but also so you have a passenger and are not tempted to use your phone while driving.
New shared Path heading South
Wollongong City Council has finished a new pedestrian and cycling link to the south of Wollongong Campus through Keiraville. Cross Northfields Ave in front of UniCentre and you now have 1.3km of cycleway and paths heading south. This takes you along Paulsgrove and John sts to the new path though the beautiful trees at Nyrang Park. Quiet streets beyond take you a further 0.7km before you rejoin Robsons Road.

Study: Warfarin Genotyping Reduces Hospitalization Rates
Study: Warfarin Genotyping Reduces Hospitalization Rates
MANAGED CARE April 2010. ©MediMedia USA
Twenty-two percent of patients who start taking warfarin, a commonly prescribed blood thinner, end up in the hospital within six months, according to health plan data compiled by Medco Health Solutions. That's because it is exceptionally difficult to administer the proper dose, owing to great genetic variation among patients.
A study conducted by the PBM asked whether determining a patient's genotype can make a difference in hospitalization rates, "which is an outcomes question important to payers," says Robert S. Epstein, MD, chief medical officer at Medco Health Solutions.
It turns out that there are two genes that can help predict the proper dose, even beyond clinical factors like age and weight. These genes determine how well the enzymes CYP2C9 and VKORC1 function. These enzymes contribute significantly to how sensitive a patient is to warfarin, and, as a result, the dose that should be used.
"The study is interesting because it wasn't designed to determine if genotyping keeps the patient's INR [ International Normalized Ratio] in the normal range," says Epstein. The INR is used to monitor the effectiveness of blood thinning and measures how thick the blood is.
This comparative effectiveness study examined the effect of incorporating genetic information into the management of warfarin treatment on hospitalization during the first six months of therapy.
Results were evaluated in two ways: One included all hospitalizations from the time of the initial warfarin treatment, even if genotyping had not yet occurred, and was defined as the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis; the other only included hospitalizations that occurred after genotyping and was called the per protocol (PP) analysis.
"In the ITT analysis, every single patient who agrees to participate gets counted regardless of when he got his genotype test done," says Epstein. "It's the most conservative way of looking at your data. Say a patient agrees to have his genotype test done next week, but the next day, he suffers a bleed. His adverse event is still counted. Per protocol is where you only follow patients according to the protocol. In this case, we followed people forward in time after they were genotyped. Then we compared that to the control group."
The results showed that for the ITT analysis, patients who had been genotyped had a 31 percent lower rate of hospitalization for any cause, and a 28 percent lower rate of hospitalization because of bleeding or blood clots, than for patients who had not been given a genetic test. The difference was even more pronounced for the PP analysis, with genotyped patients having a 33 percent lower rate of hospitalization for any cause and a 44 percent lower rate of hospitalization for bleeding than the control group.

Unfair advantage? Team BMW Oracle Racing takes 'wind mapping' technology to the America's Cup
Imagine you're a competitive sailboat racer, about to go into the richest and most storied of all sailing races with a squillion-dollar boat and a razor-sharp crew. Now imagine somebody hands you a device that can quite literally map out the wind activity up to a kilometre out in front of you, showing wind speed, direction and turbulence - and giving you the almost superatural ability to adjust your sails and take maximal advantage of a wind pattern before you even reach it. It's almost an unfair advantage, isn't it? Well, this is the situation that BMW Oracle Racing's Russell Coutts finds himself in as the team gears up to take on defending champions Alinghi in the 2010 America's Cup. The device is called a Racer's Edge laser wind sensor, and it's built around a technology base that's being used to optimise wind power generators. We caught up with Phil Rogers, CEO of Catch the Wind, Inc, to find out more.

Thanks to Swiss DtL reader Cathy for this tip-off on Evgeny Korolev!
The Russian qualifier was spotted looking all kinds of hot while getting his surf on for a photo call in Melbourne today. He shocked Carlos Moya in the Aussie Open first round 6-3, 6-1, 7-6 (9) but will face a daunting task in the second round when he faces Roger Federer.
I'm thinking Evgeny should just drop the racquets now and pick up the surf board permanently. Am I wrong?
Anyway, word to the wise: enjoy this sexy site now because we won't be seeing him in this tourney after Regal Rog is through. Surf on Evgeny...surf on.

In case you didn't know: the boy is a cousin of a certain Anna Kournikova (and gets playfully razzed by his fellow players - they call him "Anna").
So, no wonder he looks OK - it's in the genes. - johanneJanuary 20, 2009 at 10:04 AM

marat is still the hottest russian boy baller out there but we'll need a replacement if this ends up being his last year. he's such a tease dropping the "R" bomb left and right.
gay? gay for pay?? straight up hetero??? no matter babz - i'll take him though now you've got me wondering who on the tour falls on my team...
*ponders babz question deeply*i'm talking somebody who has said that his interests include: walnut shell collecting; listening to barbra streisand; watching figure skating; and dancing to electronica music. except recently, he's inconspicuously lifted some of these items out of his atp bio...i've seen him make at least one claim that they're jokes, but i don't buy it!

Will SystemD on Ubuntu increase the boot time?
I know Lenovo has resorted to using an UpStart like system where process loading is delayed until booted. Anybody know if SystemD will result in longer boot times on Ubuntu 16.04?
systemd achieved 2-second boot times two years ago. Is that fast enough for you?
Well it all depends what boot time UpStart has in comparison.
My personal experience with boot times is that systems that delay processes boot a lot faster than those that try to run everything at once. So I was curious if this is true for SystemD. Maybe it isn't. This is what I was wondering.
Yes, it's true for systemd too. Actually, systemd is much better at that sort of functionality. It's not limited to task-level dependencies like Upstart is; it can launch a service when, for instance, a file is created, or a socket is opened. In addition to ensuring that everything the service needs actually exists at launch time, it also allows you to do some neat things with late launching. For instance, you can set it up so that sshd isn't constantly running, but instead only runs when somebody connects to the external socket.
Regarding systemd migration sequence and timing... anyone remember how did Arch do it? I didn't have an Arch system built during the switch, so I wasn't able to witness it. But I don't think it took all that long.

Dusun Jogja Village Inn
Dusun Jogja Village Inn is the pioneering boutique hotel in Yogyakarta, an intimate hideout inside the pulsing cultural capital of Central Java. Tucked in the arty Prawirotaman area, the hotel is situated many stones away from the ever busy Malioboro street, and yet it is still within reach of many city's highlights. The hotel is located just walking distance from the laid-back, Prawirotaman area, not far from arts galleries and cafes that are dotting the friendly neighbourhood. It's only 10 minutes from the Kraton (Palace), 30-minute from the largest Southeast Asia Hindhu temple Prambanan and 40-minute drive from the world's largest Buddhist temple Borobudur.
Located at the end of Prawirotaman area, and just facing the city end of Parangtritis long road, Dusun Jogja Village Inn's simple exterior creates a perfect disguise for the surprisingly green and tranquil it always offers inside, accented with friendly, multilingual staff who mastered the art of Javanese hospitality.
The Environment Friendly boutique hotel's 24 rooms and suites are designed in such naturally tranquil compound, adopting the concept of Javanese 'dusun' (or village). Designed by Paul Amron Yuwono together with his old time friend, Terry Stark, the whole complex exudes such an intimate space for you to relax after enjoying Yogyakarta and its eclectic historical and cultural heritage surrounding. All rooms have a private veranda or balcony overlooking the lush garden. The popular 16 Deluxe Rooms come in two characters. The ones on the ground floor is for those who love 'bath-type' with an open-air bath and shower. Meanwhile the ones on upper floor are characterised with a spacious balcony for you to read or just daydream. Many walls in the rooms are plastered with summery, tropical colours with old-style tiles matching the antique-looking wooden furniture and decoration. Passing the lobby area, you will enter a lush garden with surprising corners to chill out at any time of the day. The shimmering, salted water in the pool invites you to plunge, whilst the smallish bar by the pool offers you refreshment in between the dives.

With more than 250 million players all over the world, football owns the right of being the most popular sport. The game consists of 2 teams with 11 players each, both aiming to score by kicking a spherical ball into the opponent's goal. Only the goalkeeper can hold the ball with his hands, while all other players can only use their feet, knees, shoulders, or head. Whoever scores the most goals, wins the game.
Actually, the game is more formally called association football to differentiate it from other forms of games that involves kicking a ball to score a goal. However, it is more popularly known as football or soccer. The modern rules of association football originated in England in 1863 and have since evolved to the exciting game, which to this day, draws thousands of people to fill a stadium and keeps other fans glued on their television screens for hours.
History of England Football
The oldest written record that has shown reference to football was scribbled by William Fitz Stephen in 1170. It described how the male youths gathered to the field after dinner and enjoyed a game of ball. It went on to say how the elders also flocked to the field to watch the game, clearly stirred with excitement of cheering on and viewing such unrestrained youth.
Despite its early popularity, football faced objections from the monarchy and from the Church. The monarch opposed the game due to military reasons; saying that the youth should focus more on learning archery, which at the time has aided them the most in winning wars and invasions. Bans were made against the sport, which included imprisonment and fines as penalties. The Church, on the other hand, called football an "evil game" because, aside from being played on a Sunday, it caused injury, envy, hatred, and sometimes, death. In 1576, hundreds of men showed their distaste on these bans by gathering together to play the game. Oliver Cromwell eventually succeeded to stop the game in 1649, but the game took a new life when Cromwell died on the latter part of the 17th century.
It was not until the 18th century when this game, played in the fields and streets, found their way into public schools. Some school officials have seen its benefits in the body's well-being and started having the game in their schools. However, each school followed different rules making it impossible for them to compete with each other. So in 1848, teachers from these schools met to come up with the Cambridge Rules. Each school followed these rules of the game, and helped spread it by playing with the boys in the streets. These public school boys continued playing in their university years, and even after graduation to eventually form their own clubs.
Since then the rules of the game were changed several times until the formation of the Football Association.
The Football Association (http://www.thefa.com/about-football-association/history)
Formed in 1863, the Football Association is England football's governing body whose objective was to establish a unifying code of rules to regulate the game. The new rules were non-violent which raised a lot of argument from those who believed that hacking should be part of the game. Today, all of England's professional football teams are members of the Football Association. It has definitely come a long way since its inception more than a century ago, making it the oldest football association in the world.
The Leagues
The English football league is like a pyramid, where leagues are divided based on their ranks or levels. These leagues are governed by the promotion and relegation principle, meaning, a member of the higher-ranking division may be relegated to the lower division, or vice versa, depending on how they have performed on the previous season. The top three English football leagues are:
Premier League (http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb.html) – consists of 20 teams, which includes Chelsea, Manchester City, Everton, and Liverpool.
Football League Championship (http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/ChampionshipIndex/0,,10794,00.html) – consists of 24 teams, some are: Blackpool, Barnsley, Bristol City, and Leeds United.
Football League One (http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/League1Index/0,,10794,00.html) – also has 24 teams, which includes Carlisle United, Leyton Orient, Portsmouth, and Walsall.
When it comes to football, England has the oldest governing body and the oldest national league. It has 40,000 football clubs, way surpassing any other country. The rich history it has on football and the work it has done to keep the game's popularity aptly makes England the home of football.

Umm the link is dead. My thread seems to have disappeared from the forums.
Phoronix: NVIDIA 270.18 Linux Beta Driver Is Here
This morning I talked about a stable NVIDIA Linux driver update (v260.19.36) and that a 270.xx beta driver would be imminent. It turns out, however, that the NVIDIA 270.18 Beta driver is already publicly available. It can be tested for Linux x86/x86_64 with a couple of new features to this proprietary graphics driver...
Umm the link is dead. My thread seems to have disappeared from the forums.
Here it is again (don't delete it this time).
Linux 32-bit
- Updated the NVIDIA kernel module to ensure that all system memory allocated by it for use with GPUs or within user-space components of the NVIDIA driver stack is initialized to zero. A new NVIDIA kernel module option, InitializeSystemMemoryAllocations, allows administrators to revert to the previous behavior.
- Added preliminary support for xserver 1.10.
- Reorganized the NVIDIA driver's /proc file system layout to better reflect current needs: /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0..N has been moved to /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0..N/information
- Added new shared library: libnvidia-ml.so.
- NVML provides programmatic access to static information and monitoring data for NVIDIA GPUs, as well as limited managment capabilities. It is intended for use with Tesla compute products.
See web-based documentation and associated nvml.h header for more info.- Added a new X configuration option "3DVisionDisplayType" to specify the display type when NVIDIA 3D Vision is enabled with a non 3D Vision ready display.
- Fixed several bugs relating to hardware-accelerated gradients, which were causing visual corruption in some of the default Ubuntu GNOME themes.
- Modified colormap updates to no longer be synchronized to vblank. This allows applications to send XStoreColor and XStoreColors requests faster than the screen's refresh rate. This behavior can be controlled by a new NV-CONTROL attribute, NV_CONTROL_SYNC_LUT_UPDATES. By default, LUT updates are not synchronized. This may cause flickering in some applications that use the colormap to perform animation, such as xpilot running on a depth 8 Xscreen. If you experience flickering, try running nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/SynchronousPaletteUpdates=1
Linux 64-bit
FreeBSD 32-bit
FreeBSD 64-bit
I wonder what apps are most affected by the last feature.
Maybe someone knows a command to show what binaries call XStoreColor(s)?

DHS broadens public-private efforts to combat cyber risks
Thursday - 10/25/2012, 5:43pm EDT
Ask the CIO
The National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center represents more than just another federal office trying to work with the private sector.
The NCCIC, which launched in October 2009, is the culmination in the Homeland Security Department's efforts to transform its approach to working with the private sector.
"It really is the nexus of information sharing between the government and the private sector," said Mark Weatherford, the DHS deputy undersecretary for cybersecurity, in an exclusive interview with Federal News Radio as part of our multimedia special report, Cybersecurity Rising. "We have a variety of different government organizations that sit on the floor along with law enforcement, the Information Sharing and Analysis Center folks, the telecommunications companies and the intelligence community. So it's a place where the synergy of everything happens operationally cyberwise. My vision for it would be a cyber 911. If anyone has a cyber-related issue, they call the NCCIC. The NCCIC may not be able to answer all the questions, but we know where to point people within the government."
Weatherford, who came to DHS a year ago after serving as the vice president and chief security officer for the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), said one of the main reasons DHS created his new position was to strengthen the public-private relationships.
NCCIC grows up
And the maturation of the NCCIC has been one of the most important pieces of that effort.
"Over the last few months, six to nine months, we have been developing these relationships within the government and with the key players in the private sector that deal with this stuff on a daily basis," he said. "One of the things I tell people all the time, there are certain things you have to do as an organization to prepare for a cyber event. And if you don't do those before the event happens, it's like trying to figure who to call in the middle of an emergency. (It) is the wrong time to be looking for the phone numbers. The NCCIC is that place."
The NCCIC is the hub for responding to specific cyber events as well as developing better analytical tools, he said.
"We're bringing more private-sector partners in, and we work through the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) program to bring organizations in to understand each other's responsibilities," Weatherford said. "The goal going forward is to get more people involved with the NCCIC from a tactical geographic perspective and from a strategic, how-do-we-work-with-you perspective."
A recent example of the NCCIC's value came during the recent cyber attacks against some financial-sector companies.
Weatherford said the response to those attacks came through the NCCIC.
"We've working with different financial institutions, telecommunications providers and working within government to find the expertise to think about how these incidents are impacting and how we can respond appropriately," he said.
One way DHS is trying to expand both the reach of the NCCIC and to bring more people into the conversation is through better coordination of the physical security and the cybersecurity offices.
Physical, cyber integration
Weatherford said he led a meeting earlier in October where both camps came together to discuss how they could work more closely together.
"I think this is one of the areas where we will be able to influence a lot," he said. "In the private sector, many organizations are still struggling with how they integrate the more traditional physical organization and roles with some of the cybersecurity stuff. It's a big deal for us at DHS to closer integrate and closer coordinate between our physical security and cybersecurity organizations."
He said, individually, each of the organizations is fairly mature, but with all the changes over the past few years, there is an opportunity to coordinate more closely.
One long-term goal is to expand the use of the protective security adviser (PSA) program to include cyber. The program now sends physical-security experts to help critical infrastructure providers find weaknesses in their defenses, Weatherford said.
Weatherford said there's a growing desire for cyber expertise and the PSA teams already are trusted sources, he said.
"We are going to beef up this PSA program with cyber expertise, so when folks go work with companies or local governments they have both physical and cyber security expertise with them," he said. "It could be a team of people depending on the issue, or if they are doing training or doing assessments or responding to an event. These guys have such as great relationship with the companies and people they work with. This is one of the real success stories of our IT organization. I spoke at a National Cybersecurity Awareness event on Oct. 1 in Nebraska and the lieutenant governor even told me what a success the PSA program was there."

Places to Help with Finding Employment Posted by JabarkusRussell on 2/12 at 8:45 pm I use Monster.com/Craigslist but most of those jobs are low paying hourly waged and not salaried with benefits. If I find a good job on there, I do not have the qualifications (at least 2 years experience, license, etc.) I went to a hiring agency and they asked what the minimum I would be willing to work an hour was. I said $18 and they said I would have to drastically lower my expectations. I have 2 degrees (BA/M.Ed.) but trying to find full time work is very difficult. Any help would be appreciated.

Posted by JabarkusRussell on 2/12 at 8:51 pm to rmc The thing is, my degree is not in teaching (Counselor Education). I don't know why it was classified as Education and not Science. In order to teach, I would have to get certified and take courses. I am still paying off student loans and have no interest in paying colleges any more money especially when there is no guarantee I will find a job.Reply Back to Top |
Posted by rmc on 2/12 at 8:55 pm to JabarkusRussell What kind of career are you trying to get into? A lot of professions/careers have sites with job information for only those professions/careers. Also, networking and knowing someone is easily the best way to score a decent job. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by JabarkusRussell on 2/12 at 8:59 pm to rmc Honestly, at this point I just want a salaried job with benefits. I could care less about working in the field I went to school for. The only jobs in my field that I can find are an hour and 10 minutes away and pay 18/hr with no benefits. Driving 2 hours and 20 minutes a day in the commute plus having to drive from place to place to meet with clients with no gas reimbursement is just not worth it. Gas is too expensive for that. I've tried networking with people in the field but it is hard finding work not being licensed. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by TigerAlum1982 on 2/12 at 9:01 pm to JabarkusRussell My daughter found her job by posting her resume' on LSU's Careers to Geaux web site. If you didn't go to LSU, perhaps your school has something similar.Reply Back to Top |
Posted by LSUcam on 2/12 at 9:27 pm to JabarkusRussell It's crazy how things work out. If your truly out there gunning for a position and getting your name out there, then keep your head up. I think local paper sections have overall higher quality leads. Look for career fairs around your area. Often times, companies will come in looking for talent. You have to ask yourself what skill-set you are working with. Identify what might set you apart as a person, rather than qualification. Maybe you do have to lower your expectations, for a while. Look for the 14-15/hr job to start but look for (and ask ahead of time) if there are advancement opportunities. Good luck to you. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by RickAstley on 2/13 at 8:19 am to JabarkusRussell I used my schools career center web site to apply online, and the career fair it hosted for in person meetings. All of my full time interviews originated from both of those options. I got 2 offers from companies at the career fair, and I got a third offer from applying online through our career center website. I recently attended my school's career fair as a recruiter, and there were several people that had been graduated for over a year looking for work. Certainly key in on using your school's resources.

Posted by Waffle House on 2/13 at 8:40 am to JabarkusRussell Not sure if this was mentioned and edited out, but where do you live? If the job market is so poor that you can't find employment in 13+ months putting forth a serious effort, I think it is time to consider relocating. Have you tied actually going in to some of the places instead of just e-papering your resume? I'm not really sure what a counselor education degree would qualify you for, but have you tried HR? Best success I have had searching for jobs is through friends that are knowledgeable about openings, or potential openings that aren't even posted yet. Those and developing contacts through local industry trade associations. Also, it may not be a bad idea to try and diversify your skill set if you aren't able to find anything immediately. Try some online courses in practical business skills such as accounting. Reply Back to Top |
