I may just be misinterpreting Mr. Harris from a lecture I saw on YouTube - http://youtu.be/pCofmZlC72g - but if there is no free will…no "choice" that can be made - then what provides the influence to make one thing rather than another occur? If everything is only a product of previous causes - down to the very smallest particle interaction - and those interactions are theoretically mathematically predetermined (or at least one event is more "probable" than another)...then there would appear to be no way to influence the outcome of, well…anything.
To paraphrase the self-writing book metaphor: "...if I did not choose to write it, this book would not have written itself…". If the above is true, then it was at least extremely probable that the book would have come into existence regardless of any choice. If there is no choice, then influences are unaffected by anything but probability.
Please validate or refute my understanding.

Compatibility with Sonar
Quick guide
- Install plugin in SONAR (copy to extensions/plugins/) and restart SONAR server.
If you want to use JMeter Report Server then:
- Download jmeter-report-server-0.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar
- Run server where your JMeter instance is running:
- Go to your system settings in SONAR and set host and port for your JMeter Report Server.
- Go to your project settings and set the "configuration key" (this must be the same you set in your property name).
- Run mvn sonar:sonar
- Add JMeter widget to your dashboard and your JMeter metrics will be shown
Description / Features
This plugin collects performance tests results from Apache JMeter. Apache JMeter may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources (files, Servlets, Perl scripts, Java Objects, Data Bases and Queries, FTP Servers and more). It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types. You can use it to test your server/script/object behavior under heavy concurrent load.
If it is the first time you hear from Apache JMeter then you should try it before using this plugin.
The following metrics are included in Sonar:
- Duration (in seconds)
- Error density (number of errors / number of requests * 100)
- Average response time for requests
- Average response time for transactions
- Successful requests per minute
- Successful requests per minute and user
- Response time deviation for requests
- Response time deviation for transactions
- Number of requests
- Number of transactions
- Successful transactions per minute
- Successful transactions per minute and user
This is an example of the widget you will see in Sonar:
Usage & Installation
JMeter installation is very easy. JMeter is developed with Java and it is distributed as a compressed file.
You can download it from http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter and then run the provided script (bin/jmeter).
Recording a test in JMeter
You can find a step by step tutorial in JMeter's website: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.pdf
It describes how to record a test plan using the JMeter proxy.
You can also take a look at this video tutorial to see how to record a test with JMeter:
SONAR JMeter plugin uses the results datafile generated by JMeter (file with extension .JTL) so remember to configure your test plan to store the results in a single JTL file.
In this video we show you how to set this JTL file:
JMeter Report Server
JMeter Report Server is a server that generates performance reports from JMeter results. SONAR JMeter Plugin uses this server to get the performance metrics from the projects.
It must be installed on the same machine with JMeter tool. The server will read the JTL files to get provide all the data to SONAR.
JTL files must be provided as a result of JMeter tests. JMeter Report Server is just to make JTL files available remotely.
JMeter Report Server Configuration
JMeter Report Server needs to know where the JTL files are located. You can set your test configuration when running the server through command line system properties:
where name is the test configuration that you will use in SONAR JMeter Plugin project settings.
Or you can also set this location by creating a property file "jmeter-report-server.properties" with all your test configurations:
This is useful is you have multiple projects in your JMeter environment and you want to manage all your tests with a single JMeter Report Server.
Here you have a test configuration example:
This configuration will set JTL file "/home/carlos/jmeter_work/iceweb.jtl" to the project "iceweb".
"iceweb" will be the name for your test configuration. SONAR plugin settings will use that name.
JMeter Report Server Installation
Server is package in a single jar with all dependencies, so just download JMeter Report Server and put it wherever you want
Running JMeter Report Server
You can start the server with this command:
NOTE: replace "jmeter-report-server.jar" with the name of the file downloaded and testconfig property with your project name and the path to the JTL file.
SONAR JMeter Plugin
- Copy the jar into /extensions/plugins/ directory
- Restart Sonar server
This video shows how to configure JMeter plugin in SONAR:
- Project must exist in SONAR before using JMeter plugin
- JMeter Report Server must be up and running (local or remote) and it must have a test configuration with the same name you set in SONAR JMeter plugin settings.
- JTL file must exist in the host that is running JMeter Report Server.
Add JMeter widget to your dashboard and next time you run "mvn sonar:sonar" you will retrieve performance metrics from JMeter and SONAR will show them.
Known limitations
- Server port is always 4444. This will be improved in next release so that you can set the port in your server properties.
Release 0.1 (5 issues)

Greater Good Gallery in downtown New Bern hosts its first "Book Signing Week," beginning Tuesday and continuing through Friday.
"It's a chance to meet local authors and get an intimate look at the books chosen to be on exhibit in the historic Isaac Taylor House," said gallery owner Lisa Bisbee. "We intend to inspire others to fulfill their own dreams of becoming an author."
Newly published author Amy Snook will be at the historic Craven Street home Tuesday from 2 to 6 p.m. with her new book, "The Green Eraser."
"It's a young adult novel addressing relevant issues such as immigration and prejudice and resonates with every student's desire to belong," Snook said. She added that the book describes the predicament of "the new kid" involved with a silly prank that almost turns lethal.
"Will everyone remain silent and protect the guy they have known forever, or will they stand up for the new kid who comes from a country thousands of miles away?" she added.
Multi-award winning author Kenneth Capps will be on hand from 5 to 6 p.m. Wednesday. He will discuss his book titled "Forgiving Waters."
Penned with healing in mind, Capps offers coping mechanisms to disarm bullies and heal decades of damage. Capps' book is timely with the current racial tensions throughout America.
"The issues of race are softened by the sheer beauty of nature and friendship," Capps said. "Barbed wire cuts on both sides of the fence" is a bold quote on the back cover, speaking on social issues.
Inquire about the quilts and ghosts in the gallery during Karen Dodd's book-signing on Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
"I now write quilts," Dodd said. Because of a minor stroke several years ago, the award-winning author no longer writes novels. To express the words that keep hopping around in her head, Dodd designs quilts with words. The author said that her Riverwalk Mystery series of books takes readers on a journey through coastal N.C. towns, including New Bern.
While describing "Spirit of Union Point"," Dodd said "75 percent of the story is true. With thorough research, I based the book on the early history and Civil War stories of New Bern's Isaac Taylor and its ghosts."
Local author and potter Ben Watford will be signing his collection of titles on Friday from 2 to 4 p.m.
Watford's wild-west adventure begins with a twist in his book titled "A Man, A Mule and a Gun." Lead character Jumo Gumasaka was young when he was captured and shipped to the Americas in a slave ship. After the Civil War, the ex-slave obtains a Colt revolver and heads toward the Wild West with a mule that he calls Nellie.
Poking fun at the institution of marriage, Watford said he bases his own journey through everlasting love with inspiration from his wife Barbara in "The Complete Book of Fussing and Nagging." In the book, he declares, "I write this for all the men out there who have wives that fuss and nag. You should consider it in the genes of the species that we call women."
Watford's book offers a humorous insight at the daily perils of a long-term relationship.

Best Uses
Comments about Schwalbe Ultremo ZX High-Density Tire:
I got a pair of these in the 700x28 size. I installed one on the rear wheel and put the other on the shelf as a spare.
They look great. They have a wonderful ride. Schwalbe's reputation is really great in the industry. I thought, man, these are as expensive as car tires, but I guess they are worth it.
But about 400 miles in, that rear tire developed a sidewall bulge. I caught it before it blew out. Sheesh! What a waste. But it must have been a fluke. So I installed the second tire. It did the same thing in just *under* 200 miles. Yikes.
The location of these significant sidewall bulges was slightly different in relationship to the tire markings. But the bulges were so similar....some kind of delamination in the manufacturing process? Maybe it was just a problem with this particular batch. But at this price, I am not expecting any such quality control problems. Even though I did love the ride, I am super-disappointed. I simply don't have this kind of money to throw away on a tire.

"Good Product"
Very durable, they last about 3-4 years, clean easily,live in NY and drinkable water has always been available. Wish they made a 3-5 gallon bowl.
I have been ordering from Jeffers for almost 20 years. I bought the 1 of the 1.5 thermal bowls about 7 yrs ago & another one about 5 yrs ago. They have saved us so much time. One bowl is near the house and the other is down by the garage. So it has been nice over the years not to have the bring up the water dish from the garage to thaw out in the winter. Even when temps drop to 5 degrees the water never froze. And the way we know they are empty, because one of the cats is curled up in them. The bowls have saved us a lot of time and are easy to store & use.
"Save your money"
Bought this at a local retailer and it is junk. Water freezes solid when the temperature falls below 25 degrees or is slush encased in ice from 26 - 34.

Jets Minicamp Photos from Thursday June 14th
Posted by Erik Manassy on Jun 15, 2012 in Main, Media, Twitter Pictures | 0 comments
The New York Jets concluded their 3 day minicamp on Thursday, where fans were able to be in attendance. The QB's chose that day only to sign for the fans and by some of the photo's it looked like they were mobbing Tebow over Sanchez.
On another note, I did not know Nick Mangold had children. He is holding his son talking to Mark in the one photo and he does a great job keeping his family private, that is until he brings his son to practice.

NORFOLK (AP) -- A former Navy sailor has been indicted by a federal grand jury for attempted espionage.
39-year-old Robert Patrick Hoffman of Virginia Beach was arrested on Thursday.
According to the indictment, Hoffman attempted to deliver classified documents in October 2011 to someone he believed was a representative of the Russian Federation.
The indictment says Hoffman actually delivered the information to the FBI, which was conducting an undercover operation.
The indictment states he tried to provide 'information classified as SECRET that revealed and pertained to methods to track U.S. submarines, including the technology and procedures required, with intent and reason to believe that such information was to be used to the injury of the United States and to the advantage' of the Russian Federation, explained Peter Carr, spokesman for the US Attorney-Eastern District.
Carr says law enforcement officers conducted searches at Hoffman's home and storage facility. No information has been released released as to the findings.
One of Hoffman's Virginia Beach neighbors, Lynn Williams, describes him as 'different.'
'He is just kind of weird. He's not neighborly. He just isn't. One time my husband was out tilling up the front yard and he came over and asked if he could watch him,' said Williams.
Hoffman, who was born in Buffalo, N.Y.. served in the Navy for 20 years before he retired in November, 2011.
The U.S. Attorney's office says Hoffman held security clearances that granted him access to classified and national defense information relating to programs and operations in which he participated, and he repeatedly signed agreements to not disclose that sensitive information.
He faces up to life in prison if convicted.

Departments & OrganizationsYale Medical Group
Office of Student ResearchClinical Investigation, Yale Center for (YCCI)Internal Medicine: Endocrinology: Diabetes Center, Fellowship Training; Diabetes Research CenterStress & Addiction Clinical Research Program
BiographyRobert S. Sherwin. MD is the C.N.H. Professor of Medicine in the Section of Endocrinology at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, CT. He graduated from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1967. After completing his residency in internal medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital (N Y), he moved to the National Institutes of Health to undertake a fellowship in metabolism and diabetes. In 1972 Dr Sherwin moved to Yale University School of Medicine as a postdoctoral fellow and was subsequently appointed to the faculty in 1974. He serves as the Director of the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation as well as the Diabetes Endocrinology Research Center and the JDRF Center for the Study of Hypoglycemia at Yale. His special clinical interests include patients with type 1 diabetes, intensified insulin therapy, complicated type 2 diabetes patients, and hypoglycemia associated with diabetes. Dr Sherwin's research activities span clinical and basic research and are focused on glucose counterregulation and the immune mechanisms leading to type 1 diabetes mellitus. The studies dealing with counter regulation examine the brain glucose sensing mechanisms mediating the activation of counterregulatory responses and the impact of hypoglycemia and insulin on brain function and metabolism. Research in immunology has led to the isolation of islet-specific T cell clones from diabetic mice that adoptively transfer diabetes and studies of an islet protein linked to islet regeneration. Dr. Sherwin has served as President of the American Diabetes Association and as a member of the FDA Advisory Committee for Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs. He is editor of one of the major medical textbooks on diabetes mellitus and wrote the chapter on diabetes for the Cecil Textbook of Medicine. Dr. Sherwin has served as the Chairman of the Medical Science Advisory Board of the JDRF and on the editorial boards of leading diabetes and endocrine journals. He has published over 320 articles in peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Sherwin is the recipient of the American Diabetes Association's Banting Award for lifetime scientific achievement, the Novartis Award for long-standing achievement in diabetes and 2 MERIT Awards from the NIH.

Comments about Mavic Crossmax SLR 29" Wheelset 2014:
I switched from Easton Havens because I wanted a 142 rear axle and I had the version of Havens that are not convertible. These wheels look better (although only slightly), are lighter, and easier to convert for different axles.
Only have a few rides on them so far but they are stong, light, and stiff for my 185lb frame. They come with all parts to convert your axles to most modern standards (but not 20mm front). The Havens required a lot more effort to adjust the front axle.
Engagement is good but not noticeably better than the havens and I have not been able to notice the 100 gram difference in weight either. Just like the Havens, the UST bead seats specialized tires great, although I needed a C02 cartridge to get them to mount.
If you are looking for a great set of wheels that have easily convertible hubs, light weight, stiff, great looks, and a ust bead these are highly recommended.

Comments about Mavic Crossmax SLR 29" Wheelset 2014:
They are light and really snappy epically on climbs. Were a great addition to my specialized stump jumper comp carbon till I destroyed the rear wheel.
I'm not holding it against them because I weigh 235 and did it at a downhill bike park with my hard tail.
I'm running the stock Rovals now and while I know I wont break them, they feel like riding in sand compared to the light weight Mavics.

Comments about Mavic Crossmax SLR 29" Wheelset 2014:
Incredible set of wheels. Beat my best race time on a 50 mile course by 40 minutes on these babies. They are so smooth and fast rolling. Don't think I can go back to my King/Stan's as they just aren't as responsive. We'll have to see how they hold up over time, but I am impressed so far. If they were 150 bucks cheaper they would be a great deal, but for 1K they are a bit overpriced. Still-almost carbon weight but should have better durability.

I ordered the Romantic Mason Jar wraparound seals, bracket return address labels and envelope seals.

The Mass. Eye and Ear Neuro-Ophthalmology Service performs both clinical and "translational" research. Of particular note, Dr. Rizzo is the founder of the Boston Retinal Implant Project, a consortium that is developing an "artificial retina" that could restore vision to patients with certain diseases of the retina.
Clinical Research. Most of our clinical research focuses on the diagnosis of blinding conditions due to retinal or optic nerve damage. In particular, we aim to improve the diagnostic accuracy of disorders of the optic nerve, especially optic neuritis and ischemic optic neuropathy. We also maintain a broad interest in other disorders that involve the brain. This includes a long-standing interest in the diagnosis and management of patients with giant cell arteritis and idiopathic intracranial hypertension, and visual disorders that affect circadian rhythms.
Translational Research. Our translational research program is organized around the novel concept of "Therapeutic Neuro-Ophthalmology." Our translational program has two related types of activities:
- New treatment development, which helps restore vision to patients who are blind from retinal or optic nerve diseases
- Investigative research, which helps improve the understanding or treatment of blinding diseases; our patients motivate us to conduct these research studies so we can better service them
The Boston Retinal Implant Project (BRIP), a multidisciplinary collaboration between Mass. Eye and Ear and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was founded by Dr. Rizzo in the late 1980s. Since 2001, the Veterans Administration joined as an integral member of the consortium, which now includes 36 team members who are distributed at eight academic institutions and one local technology company.
Our team includes biologists (retinal surgeons, retinal physiologists, cortical physiologists), engineers (electrical engineers, microfabrication specialists, metallurgists, polymer chemists and other material scientists), and clinicians.
The BRIP has been dedicated to developing a retinal prosthesis to restore vision to patients who have either retinitis pigmentosa or age-related macular degeneration. Our team has recently completed the development of a wireless, implantable retinal prosthesis that is being used to obtain "pre-clinical" information for the FDA. Our short-term goal is to upgrade our device for human use, and hopefully to perform FDA-approved clinical trials with our device in the near future.
To learn more, please visit the Boston Retinal Implant Project website.

ActiveCluster is a framework for writing cluster-based applications, monitoring the available nodes in a cluster and communicating with them. ActiveCluster consists of an API together with a default implementation.
The API is simple and small which reuses a few of the standard JMS APIs for Message, Destination, MessageListener and adds a few simple interfaces for working with clusters representing nodes in the cluster, replicated node state and listeners to nodes joining, leaving or updating their state.
The current features include
- viewing the current nodes in the cluster and their current state
- listening to nodes arrive, update their state, shut down or fail
- communicate with the cluster as a whole or with any specific node in the cluster
- elect a leader of the cluster to make decisions on behalf of the cluster
It is easy to implement the ActiveCluster API on top of any networking library such as raw sockets, JMS, JGroups or Jabber. The default implementation uses JMS though we should be easily be able to add other implementations further down the line, like a JGroups implementation etc
Use cases
ActiveCluster can be used to build a variety of different network protocols like...
- buddy-groups for Web based or EJB based session replication
- master / slave protocols for High Availability (HA) protocols with hot-standby
- controller-voting protocols to elect a single node in a cluster to be the controller along with defining who will be the next node if the controller falls over as well as detecting the loss of the controller
- distributed lock manager
Related projects
Currently ActiveCluster is used by
- ActiveMQ to perform its cluster management features
- WADI to help organise buddy groups for HTTP/EJB session replication

Victor Matfield's approach to leadership is based on the teachings and philosophies of legendary American football coach Vince Lombardi.
The Hurricanes were trailing the Bulls 19-18 and pressing hard for the victory in their fifth-round Super 14 match at Loftus. It had been a dog show for the hosts, but they had rebounded from being 12-0 down, and were now resisting resolutely.
Bulls director of rugby Heyneke Meyer picks up the story.
'We drove down into their half with three or four minutes left and had a couple of kickable penalties. The crowd screamed for Victor to take the shots at goal, but he turned them down in favour of the lineout.
'People couldn't understand it – I heard him being called some ugly names that wouldn't be appropriate to repeat here – but Victor knew exactly what he was doing.'
Scrumhalf Fourie du Preez was at ground zero and gives a first-hand account of Matfield's directives.
'He told us we would win the lineout, drive and recycle the ball through as many phases as we could. Nobody was going to throw the ball wide. We'd hit up around the fringe. Then we'd win. As simple as that. Everyone trusted him. Nobody asked any questions.'
Meyer weighs in again.
'There were also calls for a drop goal. That would have put us in the lead by four points. Victor knew the Hurricanes were capable of scoring from anywhere. Weaker, less experienced leaders would have taken the points, but he was so sure of himself, so sure of his team-mates, that he didn't succumb to stupidity. We won because of Victor.'
Meyer and Du Preez can recount a number of similar examples to illustrate Matfield's superb leadership ability and are the authorities on him, given that they've had insight into the manufacturing process that produced the exceptional leader he is today. Yes, Matfield is a manufactured leader. Debating whether he was born one is futile. He was aggressively and, at times, painfully, shaped from a self-important 's**t head' (Bakkies Botha's words) into an astute and highly respected leader of men.
His skill has been honed in equal measure through purposeful observation of leaders he respects, as it was through an active quest for self-improvement. With regard to the latter, literature by and on iconic American football coach Vince Lombardi has had a significant influence on Matfield's leadership style.
Meyer is a disciple of Lombardi, and Matfield, his star pupil, has been equally taken with Lombardi's teachings and philosophies.
'Heyneke modelled a lot of his coaching principles on Lombardi's and those principles have resonated strongly with me because they work,' Matfield says. 'The ethos of team above individualism is the most important thing in my view. I've been fortunate to lead an exceptional group of players who all know that we depend on each other for success. If I hadn't learnt that, I don't think I'd be nearly as successful as I have been.
'What's more is that he always encouraged his players to write down their strengths and weaknesses so that they were aware of them and had a physical reference point that they could go back to to measure their progress. I did that and it's helped me work through a lot of my struggles as a leader.'
Lombardi believed one prevalent way to evaluate a leader is based on the six charismatic leadership traits: the ability to challenge the status quo, to create a compelling vision, to establish shared values, to enable others to act, to model the way, and to encourage the heart. Matfield embodies all those traits.
Furthermore, Lombardi, who transformed the Green Bay Packers from a mediocre mob into two-time Super Bowl winners and five-time NFL conference champions, believed the quality of a person's life and the success they enjoy is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence.
By this measure, it is no surprise that Matfield has won everything there is to win in the game.
It was nearly midnight in Auckland. Matfield had just finished a team meeting with the coaching staff and senior players where they'd finalised their approach to the weekend's game against the Blues. He was about to review data on their lineout. The previous evening he had thoroughly dissected that facet of play over a period of two hours and six Nuttela crêpes. When he finished, it was close to 2am. To follow Matfield is not to take a blind step into oblivion. It is a lucidly drawn out path to success.
'That doesn't surprise me,' Meyer says upon being told of Matfield's late-night vigil. 'Victor sees that as standard practice. He's not trying to be a hero; he genuinely believes it is his responsibility to be the most prepared man on the team, so he does it willfully. He prepares for different variables, constructs plans B, C and D, and ensures that everyone knows those. Nothing surprises him on the field because he comes into matches better prepared than any opponent.'
Lombardi argues that leadership rests not only upon the capacity to lead, but also the willingness of the leader to use that capacity. 'His leadership is then based on truth and character,' he reasoned. 'There must be truth in the purpose and willpower in the character.'
Lombardi would have been pleased to find in Matfield a leader of that ilk.
Flawed leaders demand respect. Matfield commands it through his religious devotion to analyses and the subsequent practical implementation of his findings, his consistently brilliant performances in pressure situations, his unfailing yielding to the merits of the collective in matches where his contribution has been the most decisive to the result, and his man-management on and off the field.
But it wasn't always this way.
As a young professional, Matfield hated criticism and being corrected. He had a poisonous awareness of how good he was. Inferior players, through the manner they meekly ceded to him, reinforced that belief implicitly. Others were more explicit in their reverence, further fuelling his sense that he was a gift from the rugby gods.
A young Matfield had the personality of a piece of wet cardboard. That's not a flawed assertion, his now blood brother Botha confirms it. 'I wanted to moer him sometimes,' the Bulls and Springbok lock said.
Meyer reveals that he had grown tired of the stroppy buck.
'He was a bit, erm … loose. Really hard to manage,' Meyer says diplomatically. 'I always believed he'd be a great leader, even though some in the corridors of Loftus didn't think much of him because he was seen as too individualistic. But at that stage I'd had enough and told him to get his act in order or look for another union. Thankfully he did, and in the process he shattered the mould of what a typical Bulls captain should look like, and what demeanor they should have.'
'I was a real stubborn bugger when I was in my early- to mid-20s. Hard-headed and unplayable at times,' Matfield says in an honest self-appraisal of his formative years. 'Even though I was a youngster in the teams I represented I would still want to have an influence on important decisions and I wanted things done my way. On the surface it seemed like I had everything under control, but inside I was unsure of myself. Now I see captains like that and I cringe because they are what I was and it's ugly.'
Matfield's insatiable desire for improvement forced him to confront his weaknesses and fears. It was an excruciatingly difficult process in which his self-image was challenged, shattered even. He had held steadfastly to the belief that he was a ready-made skipper who somehow had a special dispensation to bypass the vigorous process of refinement that the game's great leaders all endured.
Having now been through that refining furnace, Matfield is well placed to offer some perspective.
'Honesty, life experience and a balance of success and failure are the things that help you grow as a leader,' he offers. 'I stress life experience because something like being a husband and father has taught me much about leading men – patience, understanding, developing a sense of when to be hard and when to put an arm around a shoulder – you learn that all in a family context. I was wild as a youngster. I didn't care about the discipline that made the great players what they were. But I don't know if I'd be the man and player I am today if I didn't go through that phase.'
Today Matfield is the most complete leader in South Africa and one of the finest in the world. He also provides Springbok captain John Smit with a deputy of the highest order.
'Victor's a natural leader,' Smit said in his autobiography. 'I've grown to rely significantly on his leadership ability. He is effectively another captain of the team.'
He is also the most successful franchise captain in history. When their achievements are recounted in future, the Bulls' champion class of 2007, 2009 and possibly 2010 will be referred to as 'The Matfield side'. It would be a grossly unfair attribution given the calibre of players he leads and their contribution to blinging out the Loftus trophy room. But Matfield has become synonymous with success.
I recently overheard a conversation between a boy, no older than eight, and his mother in a bookstore. The kid was studying a magazine with a cover image of SuperSport United celebrating their Premiership title success. 'Mom, where's Victor Matfield?' the boy asked. Point made.
Meyer chuckles when the story is retold.
'The measure of the great captains is that they are readily associated with success,' he says. 'If I close my eyes I can summon the image of Francois Pienaar lifting the World Cup in 1995, John Eales in 1999, Martin Johnson in 2003, Smit in 2007. Those images are as vivid as the ones of Victor kissing the Super 14 trophy in 2007 and him laying next to it in 2009.'
That's not to say Matfield hasn't failed as a leader. He has. His diabolical record in his early captaincy career bears testament to that. However, while some leaders have failed and been failures, you sense that Matfield's failure simply made him more formidable.
'He'd come to me after we'd lost, sometimes an hour after the match, and want to analyse what went wrong,' Meyer recalls. 'He hated losing, still does, and I'm sure when he gets home after the matches he watches them three, four times over. He needs to know where we went wrong. Not wants, needs. But part of what separates Victor from other captains is that he shows the same urgency when we win. Most other captains would probably be happy to just celebrate the win. Victor wants to know why we won.'
Another of Matfield's characteristics is that he never allows a blurring of the lines between player and captain. It is a Lombardi principle: 'The leader can never close the gap between himself and the group,' he said. 'If he does, he is no longer what he must be. He must walk a tightrope between the consent he must win and the control he must exert.'
Understand that Matfield is not alienated from his team and that he is acutely aware that he is neither omniscient nor omnipresent. He celebrates victories with legendary gusto alongside team-mates and willingly shares the leadership load with Du Preez, and, to a lesser extent, Bakkies Botha, Gary Botha and Wynand Olivier. However, when it's go-time, there is no doubt that he is in charge. But in just over a year that will all change.
It's inconceivable to imagine the Bulls without Matfield, but it's a reality that needs to be confronted, as he will retire after the 2011 season. Certainly his prodigious talent and technical brilliance will be missed, but the leadership void he leaves is humungous. His impact and influence has been seismic and it will be some time before one of the Bulls' troop of rookies rock the foundations of Loftus in the manner he has.
Matfield hasn't been struck by the enormity of his decision yet. He's a here-and-now type, but he predicts that he'll miss the brotherhood, routine and structured lifestyle terribly. It is, after all, all he's known for a decade. But coaching, an avenue Matfield has purposed to venture down, will allow an easier transition.
There have been reports of him being approached by the Brumbies and Waratahs, and the Bulls have already felt him out about joining their coaching staff. Matfield, however, has no interest in a consultancy or assistant coaching role and it looks likely that he will take the reigns at Boland, a union he has equity in.
'I want to earn my stripes as a coach, just like I did as a player by spending two years at Griquas, and Boland will allow me to do that out of the limelight. I don't want an easy ride. It's important to me that I work my way up through the ranks,' Matfield says. 'Nothing is decided yet, but the prospect of coaching Boland is appealing. I'll be able to build from the ground up and in so doing ingrain my philosophies and put in place structures for sustained success.'
Predicting whether Matfield will have a Lombardi-like impact wherever he opts to coach is impossible. He certainly has the potential to if given the time and resources. But that issue is for another time.
Now it's time to celebrate an exceptional leader. A national treasure.

Sequester delayed for two months; pay freeze extension still possible
Wednesday - 1/2/2013, 5:24am EST
Federal agencies received a two-month reprieve from the across-the-board spending cuts that were scheduled to start Jan. 2 under the Budget Control Act.
The House, Senate and White House agreed to delay the effects of sequestration until March under the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. The Senate passed the bill Dec. 31 by a vote of 89-8, and the House followed Jan. 1 by a vote of 256-171.
The White House said in a fact sheet that "the agreement saves $24 billion, half in revenue and half from spending cuts which are divided equally between defense and nondefense, in order to delay the sequester for two months. This will give Congress time to work on a balanced plan to end the sequester permanently through a combination of additional revenue and spending cuts in a balanced manner."
Sequestration would have required agencies to cut $109 billion — split evenly between Defense civilian agency budgets — in 2013. It would have slashed Defense discretionary spending by 9.4 percent and civilian agency spending by 8.2 percent. But now, Congress has two months more to figure out how to avoid the cuts permanently.
But the news wasn't all good for agencies. The House also passed a bill Tuesday to extend the pay freeze for federal workers through all of fiscal 2013. The Senate still must pass the bill, which was built off a provision in the Upper Chamber's bill that would freeze members of Congress pay for all of 2013. Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) introduced the new bill, H.R. 6726.
Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.)
"Last week, with the prospect of the fiscal cliff looming large and Congress working through the last minute to avert financial and economic disaster, President Obama felt it was appropriate to grant pay raises across the federal government," Fitzpatrick said in a release. "I could not allow this to go unchallenged. At a time when American families are tightening their belts and businesses are reducing salaries to make ends meet, I believe that the federal government must lead by example."
Fitzpatrick was referring to the President's executive order ending the pay freeze on March 27, when the current continuing resolution expires.
The pay freeze was not guaranteed to end as Congress could extend the CR through all of 2013 or not include it in any of the appropriations bills they pass.
As expected, employee unions and federal worker-friendly members of Congress attacked Fitzpatrick's bill. David Cox, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said in a statement that Fitzpatrick's bill was a "cheap political ploy."
"Not only does it inflict tremendous damage on the families of these modestly paid workers, more than half of whom are veterans, but it also hits the communities where these employees live, since they will continue to be unable to afford any kind of economic activity beyond paying for the bare necessities of living," Cox said.
Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said he hopes Republicans will reconsider the attacks on federal employees.
"I strongly oppose such a move, which, fortunately, has no chance of passing the Senate, because middle-class federal employees have already contributed nearly $90 billion toward deficit reduction through reduced pay and pension benefits at a time when other groups have not been asked to contribute," Hoyer said. "On top of this current pay freeze, starting today, newly hired employees, compared to federal employees hired before Jan. 1, will see their pay decreased by 2.3 percent as a result of a change that was enacted to the federal pension system last winter. This change will yield an additional $15 billion in deficit reduction over 10 years."
The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 does stop a $900 pay increase for lawmakers, but makes no mention of federal employees.
"I believe that there's further unnecessary spending in government that we can eliminate," Obama said after the House's vote. "But we can't simply cut our way to prosperity. Cutting spending has to go hand-in-hand with further reforms to our tax code so that the wealthiest corporations and individuals can't take advantage of loopholes and deductions that aren't available to most Americans. And we can't keep cutting things like basic research and new technology and still expect to succeed in a 21st century economy. So we're going to have to continue to move forward in deficit reduction, but we have to do it in a balanced way, making sure that we are growing even as we get a handle on our spending."
Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) said in a statement after the vote that the government must turn its attention to reducing its spending.
"Without meaningful reform of entitlements, real spending controls and a fairer, cleaner tax code, our debt will continue to grow, and our economy will continue to stumble," he said. "Republicans stand for a stronger, more prosperous America, rich in opportunity and free of the debt that threatens our children's future. On this New Year's Day, we renew our commitment to that vision, humbled by the opportunity to serve."

The top 20 players in Anaheim Ducks history:
1. Teemu Selanne
Is there any doubt about this one? A superstar who first arrived to Anaheim in 1996, Selanne remarkably re-emerged as a top-flight NHL star at 35 after reconstructive surgery to fix his right knee. The Finnish Flash got his Stanley Cup in 2007 and has remained a big part of the Ducks into his 40s. With the Ducks have come 448 of his 675 goals, 513 of his 755 assists and 961 of his 1,430 points, all of which are the most in the club's annals by far. Countless jerseys sold with his name on the back and tickets sold because of his presence.
2. Paul Kariya
Kariya will always be the Mighty Ducks' first star. There were contentious contract issues that perked up during his nine seasons in Anaheim but there was not a better left wing in the game during the late 1990s. At the time of his departure in 2003, Kariya held club records with 300 goals, 369 assists and 669 points. His dramatic Game 6 goal in the Stanley Cup final after being laid out by New Jersey's Scott Stevens is still one of the greatest moments to have ever taken place at Honda Center (nee Arrowhead Pond).
3. Scott Niedermayer
His 13 seasons and three Stanley Cups with New Jersey obviously stand out, but Niedermayer's contributions in his five years with the Ducks are equally impressive. The biggest free-agent signing in the club's history became their universally respected captain and leader, coming up with big momentum-changing plays during their 2006 and 2007 postseason runs. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy in '07 as the playoffs MVP in the Cup run and heads into the Hockey Hall of Fame this November. His No. 27 could wind up in the Honda Center rafters.
4. Corey Perry
No matter what he does from now on, Perry will always have his magical 2010-11 season where he put up 50 goals and 98 points in winning the Hart Trophy and becoming the first Ducks player to be selected as the NHL's Most Valuable Player. But he's been an elite right wing for a while, topping 30 goals two other times and averaging 35 over a five-season span from 2007-08 to 2011-12. That production got him an eight-year, $69-million contract extension.
5. Ryan Getzlaf
Now entrenched as the Ducks' captain, Getzlaf is building his legacy after signing his own eight-year contract extension. The big center is already third on the club's scoring list and responded to a poor 2011-12 campaign with one of his best – 15 goals, 34 assists in 44 games during the lockout-shortened 2012-13. Perry's MVP campaign doesn't happen if one of the NHL's top playmakers isn't getting him the puck.
6. Jean-Sebastien Giguere
Simply put, the Mighty Ducks' inspirational 2003 run to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final does not happen without Giguere. He became the fifth player to win the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoffs' MVP as part of the losing team. Four years later, "Jiggy" captured the Cup. He holds franchise goalie marks for victories (206), shutouts (32) and starts (431) while recording a more-than-credible 2.47 goals-against average.
7. Chris Pronger
Pronger is destined for the Hockey Hall of Fame and it's a shame his career is effectively over because of post-concussion syndrome. He's probably too far down on this list only because he played in just three seasons with the Ducks. But he was exactly what they needed in 2007, bringing elite-level talent and a mean streak to a team that was already on the rise. The star defenseman was the final piece to the 2007 Cup team.
8. Bobby Ryan
He's in Ottawa now and played just five-plus years in a Ducks uniform, but the No. 2 pick in the 2005 draft scored 30 or more goals in four seasons. Few have provided more highlight-reel moments than the often-exciting Ryan. One of the most memorable Ducks' playoff goals was by Ryan against Nashville in the 2011 playoffs. No player other than Selanne oozed more personality in recent years than the second No. 9.
9. Steve Rucchin
There's no question that Rucchin benefitted from having Paul Kariya on his left side and Teemu Selanne on his right, but the popular center often did the dirty work and got the puck to his high-profile teammates, who could focus on scoring. And lest we forget that it was his overtime goal to cap a stunning first-round sweep of Detroit to start the magical 2003 playoff run.

I bought this shoe to replace a patent leather heel. This shoe fits much better! The back fits higher against the heel which prevents it from slipping. The 3" heel is office appropriate. The toe is not a pointy toe, it's an almond shape. Not round. I really love the fit, and the look of this shoe. I can live with the non-leather. I just bought a second pair.
