37 year old man | Huntington Beach, CA, USA | Seeking women 30-39 within 50 miles
Not your average computer geek
This is the section that I am supposed to use to win you over, convince you that I am the person you want to be dating. So what am I going to do here??? How about the brutal truth. I am not the tall dark and handsome type of guy. I am your everyday, walk by him with a quick glance kinda guy. I would classify myself as a non prototypical computer nerd in the sense that I am a computer programmer and have always been really good with computers but do not have bottles for glasses (I don't wear glasses) and I don't have a pocket protector. I tend to be more of the casual beach bum style than the nerdy computer guy. I enjoy reading a great book just as much as going out and partying with friends. I love to bowl, swim, play softball but most importantly the one thing I love more than anything is my son. He has quite the personality that makes people just fall in love with him and is very witty. Many times my friends have been in an argument with him when they realize they are arguing with an 8 year old and losing. I am currently separated but there is no bad blood between my ex and myself. We actually are still really good friends and bowl together. So you won't need to worry about any drama there as there will not be any. I am currently carrying a few extra pounds as marriage will do that to you occasionally but I am an active person who is working diligently to get back to a very respectable and healthy weight. As for who I am looking for??? That is a really good question, one that is very difficult to answer and it is an ever changing concept. I can only list qualities that are key. Someone who loves children, is down to earth, appreciates a good book and can put the phone down to have a great conversation. Someone who will enjoy staying in just as much as going out as always going out tends to get redundant and prevents those close moments of just staying in and watching a good movie together can bring. Someone who is not afraid to call me on my b.s. but can also appreciate my quirky sense of humor and my random tidbits of knowledge that I occasionally throw out there for no reason. If any of this sounds like something of interest to you then don't hesitate to let me know. If not, then I wish you happy hunting for the right fit for you.
Camping , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Watching sports

Immigrant at ease with permanent U.S. status
He can enter states multiple times, visit
Abraham Vazquez remembers not wanting to leave his Matamoros, Mexico, home when his parents brought him to the United States 12 years ago. Opportunities and better pay changed his mind, and a visit to a local jewelry store sealed the deal.
That's where he met his wife, Tania, two years ago. Now married one year, they have a 6-month-old son, Abraham Jr. The elder Abraham, 19, works for a construction company and his wife still works at the store. Since his parents recently returned to Mexico, Vazquez wanted to be able to visit them without having to worry about problems re-entering.
Last week, he received that permission: permanent residency status, which gives him the ability to enter multiple times into the U.S. While others will spend their July 4th holidays appreciative of their nation's independence, Vazquez said he will pop fireworks in honor of his personal right to travel home uninhibited.
"The fact that I don't have to watch my back anymore; it's better like this," he said. "In a lot of countries out there we don't have this freedom."
Vazquez's parents entered the country with passports when he was 7. Along with his legal entry, marriage and child also gave him extra leverage. But after the passports expired, Vazquez felt the burden of fear weigh him down.
"Whenever I was at work I was worried," he said. "There's always the possibility that they'll deport you."
Vazquez said the country offers opportunities that are enough incentive for many Mexicans to risk being caught and sent back. He gives a quick answer when explaining why he would rather live in the United States:
"I can make here in one day what I would make there in a week," he said.
Catholic Charities helped him submit the necessary paperwork to earn approval for his green card. Vazquez said the process took a month and cost him about $1,200 in fees. In three years he will be able to apply for U.S. citizenship. He joked that he plans to save up enough money to buy two homes.
Vazquez traveled to Matamoros last week legally, where he visited family and shopped at street vendors he remembers from his youth. He said he always plans to return.

Funnell combines backpack and waterproof jacket
July 16, 2014
It can be a hassle to carry around an umbrella or an extra coat all day just in case good weather turns to rain. Herein lies the appeal of the Funnell: a backpack that sports an integrated waterproof jacket that can be quickly accessed to keep you and your belongings dry.
Currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign by creators Restless Travellers, the Funnell resembles several existing products, like the Vamoose and the Xip3.
It has been designed in three slightly different iterations, ranging in size. The largest is the Funnell City in black, which is good for carrying a MacBook Pro-sized laptop and plenty of additional belongings. The Funnell Sport (which comes in red or black) can carry a lighter laptop and offers less room for other stuff. Finally, the smallest black and red Extreme is more suited to a tablet like an iPad and some lightweight essentials.
Each of the Funnell models features a back protection panel, adjustable waist straps, and a separate pouch in which the jacket is stored. There's a drainage opening too, so a wet jacket shouldn't begin to stink inside the bag when stuffed back in.
Of course, the only advantage that the Funnell offers over simply carrying a backpack and a lightweight jacket, is the ease in which you pull out the jacket. From the Kickstarter video (shown below), it looks pretty slick in this regard. Once it rains, the wearer pulls some strings located at the top of the pack and the waterproof jacket is thus ejected. The company has no videos available of packing the jacket back into the backpack, but promises to add one soon.
As of writing, those interested in taking a punt on the Funnell actually reaching production will need to pledge at least US$198, with delivery promised for November this year if all goes to plan. The City model will only be available if the campaign exceeds its goal of $43,000 and reaches the stretch goal of $73,000.
The pitch video below shows the Funnell in use.

"It can be a hassle to carry around an umbrella..." so instead, wear a backpack when you're not going hiking, put up your hood on a summer day, and wear tour hat indoors. Is this a joke?EddieG
I think they've completely missed their market with this product!
This concept would be great for cyclists / runners / hikers who are accustomed to carrying a backpack / camel hump. There's nothing worse than heading outdoors for several hours in changeable weather - if you take a coat and it warms up then you're stuck lugging it around (even worse, if you don't bother and it rains!).
Add a water bladder and somewhere to keep your pocket lint (phone, wallet, keys, puncture repair kit etc.) and I'll sign up for one!Nathan Rees
@Eddie @Nathan Rees
Guys, consider what the backpack is designed to carry: Laptop/notebook pc and gadgets. It's not for camping or wandering in the mall.
This is targeted to the people who commute to work/school (not in an automobile) with a computer. If you ride a bus, train, or bike every day, then this is a cool idea.flink
Flink those who commute to work or bike to work can get a trash bag and/or very light rain coat for a couple bucks to cover themselves when it rains. $200.oo for this is rediculous.tigerprincess
I notice disproportionately few cyclists and hikers who use umbrellas in my area. Perhaps they are all just fed up with the inconvenience of the hand-carried water-deflecting implement?
I think I'm missing the point on this jacket/backpack fusion exercise. For one thing, there are times when you want to separate the two aren't there? And why stop there, why not incorporate waterproof trousers and booties too. While we're on that kick, let's throw in a helmet for the bike commuters. Hey why don't we just wear a space suit to work?sk8dad
Why not just have a backpack and put a regular jacket in it?Rustgecko

You were virtually India's spin-bowling coach during your stint as selector.
Passion ought to be a coach's fundamental quality. He must experience the joy of sharing. Players know when a coach talks sense. You can't fool them. And they have known me for a while now. People use laptops to analyse a bowler's action. But I don't need a computer, for that feed is already in my head. I scan my bowlers thoroughly, right from their feet position to their arms.
So, all the Indian spinners have to do is refresh their memories. Just remember what you taught them in order to do a Monty Panesar...
It would be unfair to say that. Let's talk about Panesar. Have you heard of the Hindi saying 'Agar jeb bhari ho, dimag maat lagao (if your wallet is full, don't use your imagination)'? If the wicket has spin, why do you need to use your head? Just land it on one spot like he (Panesar) did. If Panesar doesn't get assistance from the pitch, he struggles. He sticks to one area, that's why he was so successful in the second Test. If you use your imagination on surfaces like the one at Wankhede, you are bound to get thrashed. Yes, if there's nothing on the wicket, you bring variations into play. As the strip gets slower, your length changes too. Length varies on the first, second and last day. For instance, when the wicket is fresh, you pull the length back. When it's slowing, you got to pitch it further up.
Did the spinners' pace (England were quicker in the air) make that big a difference in Mumbai? Or there were other factors too?
Look, you have to vary your pace. Not much, just that subtle change. I agree if there's spin and bounce on the deck, you bowl slightly quicker to deny batsmen time. But here too there's a trick involved. Around 75 to 80 per cent of your deliveries are bowled quicker in the air. But you have to vary the remaining 25 per cent to keep batsmen guessing. When you are quick, he (the batter) is programmed to bring his bat down at a certain speed. Remember, today's batters face quickish spinners at nets for hours together. When you slow it down, they might end up playing way ahead of their pads. And that will fetch you a wicket!
Your comment on Harbhajan. Was he getting the bite he's known for?
He was getting everything. Don't forget he was under pressure and also overeager to do well. Where Harbhajan's bowling at Wankhede was concerned, I'd elaborate with an example. It was similar to riding a bicycle. As you increase the speed, your body quivers a bit. Ditto while bowling. You are not accustomed to bowling quicker. Naturally, in a match situation, everything changes because you haven't practised anything like that. So, your rhythm, balance and body alignment are not always at sync.
You stress on a bowler's head position. You said in the past that the head is like a camera.
Right. You always follow the head as a bowler. You move your head first in order to change your body position. As coaches, we believe instead of stressing on each body mechanism, focus on the most important part and the rest will fall into place.
Do Indian spinners lack the art of taking wickets — that is setting the batsmen up?
Patience holds true for both batsmen and bowlers. Isn't it supposed to be a 90-over affair in a day? If you could get a wicket every ball, only two overs would have sufficed. Look, there will be instances when you outfox batsmen, beat them numerous times, but just don't find the edge. You lose patience and try harder. That's when you lose the plot. Also, on surfaces like Wankhede, greed takes over. You do too much and mess up. Panesar was like an auto machine activated by a key. He was bowling the same way all day long.
Do you foresee anything different for Indian spinners in Kolkata? And how much of a threat will Panesar be?
If it's a turner, it's natural to up the pace. But if you bowl too quick, you might, as I said earlier, lose the body balance. Variations should not be more than 20 per cent, and Indian spinners must be careful not to overdo them.
As far as Panesar goes, should he get a deck anywhere close to the one at Wankhede, he'll be dangerous. Left-arm spinners get their deliveries to dip into right-handers. Invariably, they end up playing more balls than they otherwise would.
Is there a substantial difference between the Panesar of now and the one you had seen earlier?
Not much. As you play more, you grow in confidence. Your true mettle is gauged when the strip offers you nothing. We'll have to see how he goes. My only advice to the Indian team is — let bygones be bygones. Don't do an excessive postmortem of the Mumbai defeat. That's part of the game. Play your normal cricket. India will bounce back, you bet.

St. Mark's in the Dark
Something scary is going on beneath St. Marks Coffeehouse. Once a week, a group gathers to pay homage to the darkness in preparation for the spookiest night of the year. We all love Halloween over there, explains Gio Toninelo. We figured wed do a countdown with a film every week.

Rewarding A Drive For Science
By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren
Do you love science? Or at least like it a lot?
We keep working as a society to engender interest in the STEM fields--science, technology, engineering and math.
And an Oregon student, Rachel Lertora from Astoria, is a finalist in a national science competition climaxing on 4-H National Youth Science Day.
Rachel had to create a video answering the question "why do you love science?"
Listen to how well-versed she is in her intended field, marine biology; Astoria High School runs its own fish hatchery!

It's always on the weekend, usually on sunday...My wife came into the room and said her clothes dryer was broken. The clothes are wet and not hot. I figured the heating element was burnt out...the machine is 11 years old and she uses it 4 to 5 times a week. I pulled the electrical plug and opened the front panel. I disconnected one lead to the heating element and checked for continuity with my Ohm meter. No continuity. Burnt out heating element. I disconnected the other wire and two screws to remove the heating element assembly. I could see the broken coil. I went on line to PartSelect.com and found our dryer in about 2 minutes. There was an Illistrated Parts Breakdown with a picture of our heating element along with the thermal cut-off switch and the thermostat and we decided to replace both since the price was right and we had the dryer appart. I ordered our parts on-line at 5 pm on Sunday and recieved the package, with standard shipping, Tuesday around 3 pm. Unbelievably fast. The package was not damaged and we recieved exactly what we ordered. Reassembly was 15 minutes...the right parts fit perfectly. My wife claims that the dryer works better now than it ever did. I'm not kidding. She's happy and I get to watch football and drink beer while she's doing laundry. I'm the hero but I'll admit, PartSelect made my job EASY! Thankx you guys.

On Nate
I am Nate. I'm a birder, and thus, most everything I do revolves around that in some way. I grew up in the midwest but currently make my home in Greensboro, North Carolina, with my wife and 2 young children, who are not yet aware that they are birders too. When I'm not looking for birds, which is not often, I enjoy music with banjos in it, good beer, progressive politics and the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team and I'm not particularly shy about sharing my opinion on any of those things. Just so you know.
Other bloggy things I do include managing the ABA blog and covering the southeast beat at 10,000 Birds. I also help lead trips for the Carolina Bird Club, I'm the eBird reviewer for the state of North Carolina, and I serve on the North Carolina Bird Records Committee.
Last ABA: #579 – White Wagtail – 10/5/2014 – St. Paul Island, Ak

Pros and Cons of Donnay Pro One

You know what? I take it all back.....this racquet does indeed vibrate!!!
I played 3 hours earlier this afternoon. The P1 isn't my normal stick - that's the BLX Juice Pro - but I gave both a good outing as I was intrigued by your comments in this thread.
The Juice Pro (346g) is rock solid, hefty, super stable without even a hint of vibration. Played for about 2 hours with it.
After about 2 hours, I switched to the P1. Noticeably more manouverable than the Juice Pro and easier to whip round despite its mass being orientated more in the head (rather than in the throat and handle area like the Juice Pro).
But compared to the Juice Pro, the P1 was noticeably less stable (despite it weighing 337g with all the bits - lead, OG etc). It simply doesn't have that 'solid block of hardwood' feel that the Juice Pro has. It felt lightweight and less stable against my opponent. It seems to lack mass.
Interestingly, the P1 felt very plush when hitting the ball in the centre of the sweetspot (no vibrations) but striking the ball outside the sweetspot and the P1 did indeed.....vibrate. And you feel you vibrations thoughout the frame. I think I would need more playing time with this to decide whether or not the vibrations are terrible or too off putting, but they are definitely noticeable.
All rather odd. The other thing I noticed and can say for 100% sure is the headsize is closer to a 95sq" - its definitely smaller than the Juice Pro and probably about the size of my 6.1 95, maybe fractionally bigger but not much, if at all.
I was playing outdoors today and I can't say that I ever noticed this vibration issue on the previous occasions I hit with the P1 (which were indoors). Maybe new balls and a big hitting opponent were contributory factors. Also the strings (poly/synth gut hybrid) in the P1 had already about 4 hours of hitting on them previously, so not sure if that was a contributor (probably not).
So, based on today's experience, any ball hit immediately outside of the sweetspot does indeed cause the racquet to vibrate...probably more so than other racquets I've tried.
I will happily admit that I will have to eat humble pie on this occasion....

Class-ifying the Hurricane
I was in New Orleans visiting my mother and other relatives less than a week before Katrina hit. Even though we already had an eye on the approaching hurricane, I had no thought, when I boarded the plane to leave, that the city I've known all my life would never be the same again.
I don't have space or words to catalogue the horrors and outrages associated with the plight of New Orleans and its people. In any event, the basic story is now well-known, and we're entering the stage at which further details mainly feed the voyeuristic sentimentalism that will help the momentarily startled corporate news media retreat gracefully to their more familiar role as court heralds. The bigger picture will disappear in the minutiae of timelines and discrete actions.
What will be lost is the central point that the destruction was not an "act of God." Nor was it simply the product of incompetence, lack of empathy or cronyism. Those exist in abundance, to be sure, but they are symptoms, not ultimate causes. What happened in New Orleans is the culmination of twenty-five years of disparagement of any idea of public responsibility; of a concerted effort--led by the right but as part of a bipartisan consensus--to reduce government's functions to enhancing plunder by corporations and the wealthy and punishing everyone else, undermining any notion of social solidarity.
I know that some progressives believe this incident will mark a turning point in American politics. Perhaps, especially if gas prices continue to rise. I suspect, however, that this belief is only another version of the cargo cult that has pervaded the American left in different ways for a century: the wish for some magical intervention or technical fix that will substitute for organizing a broad popular base around a clearly articulated, alternative vision that responds to most people's pressing concerns. The greater likelihood is that within a month Democratic liberals will have smothered the political moment just as they've smothered every other opportunity we've had since Ronald Reagan's election. True, Nancy Pelosi and others finally began to bark at the Bush Administration's persisting homicidal negligence. But my hunch is that, as with Iran/contra, the theft of the 2000 election and the torrent of obvious lies that justified the war on Iraq, liberals' fear of seeming irresponsibly combative and their commitment to the primacy of corporate and investor-class interests will lead them to aid and abet the short-circuiting of whatever transformative potential this moment has.
This will also obscure the deeper reality that lies beneath the manifest racial disparities in vulnerability, treatment and outcome. The abstract, moralizing patter about how and whether "race matters" or "the role of race" is appealing partly because it doesn't confront the roots of the bipartisan neoliberal policy regime. It's certainly true that George W. Bush and his minions are indifferent to, or contemptuous of, black Americans in general. They're contemptuous of anyone who is not part of the ruling class. Although Bush and his pals are no doubt small-minded bigots in many ways, the racial dimension stands out so strikingly in part because race is now the most familiar--and apparently for many progressives the most powerful--language of social justice. For roughly a generation it seemed reasonable to expect that defining inequalities in racial terms would provoke some remedial response from the federal government. But for quite some time race's force in national politics has been as a vehicle for reassuring whites that "public" equals some combination of "black," "poor" and "loser"; that cutting public spending is aimed at weaning a lazy black underclass off the dole or--in the supposedly benign, liberal Democratic version--teaching blacks "personal responsibility."
To paraphrase historian Barbara Fields, race is a language through which American capitalism's class contradictions are commonly expressed. Class will almost certainly turn out to be a better predictor than race of who was able to evacuate, who drowned, who was left to fester in the Superdome or on overpasses, who is stuck in shelters in Houston or Baton Rouge, or who is randomly dispersed to the four winds. I'm certain that class is also a better predictor than race of whose emotional attachments to place will be factored into plans for reconstructing the city.
Of course, in a case of devastation so vast as this, class position provides imperfect insulation. All my very well connected, petit-bourgeois family in New Orleans are now spread across Mississippi and south Louisiana with no hint of when they will return home or what they'll have to return to. Some may have lost their homes and all their belongings. But most of them evacuated before the storm. No one died or was in grave danger of dying; no one was left on an overpass, in the Superdome or at the convention center. They were fortunate but hardly unique among the city's black population, and class had everything to do with the terms of their survival.
Natural disasters can magnify existing patterns of inequality. The people who were swept aside or simply overlooked in this catastrophe were the same ones who were already swept aside in a model of urban revitalization that, in New Orleans as everywhere else, is predicated on their removal. Their presence is treated as an eyesore, a retardant of property values, proof by definition that the spaces they occupy are underutilized. And it's not simply because they're black. They embody another, more specific category, the equivalent of what used to be known, in the heyday of racial taxonomy, as a "sub-race." They are a population against which others--blacks as well as whites--measure their own civic worth. Those who were the greatest victims of the disaster were invisible in preparation and response, just as they were the largely invisible, low-wage props supporting the tourism industry's mythos of New Orleans as the city of constant carnival. They enter public discussion only as a problem to be rectified or contained, never as subjects of political action with their own voices and needs. White elites fret about how best to move them out of the way; black elites ventriloquize them and smooth their removal.
Race is too blunt an analytical tool even when inequality is expressed in glaring racial disparities. Its meanings are too vague. We can see already that the charges of racial insensitivity and neglect threaten to divert the focus of the Katrina outrage to a secondary debate about how Bush feels about blacks and whether the sources of the travesty visited upon poor New Orleanians were "color blind" or racist. Beyond that, a racial critique can lead nowhere except to demands for black participation in decision-making around reconstruction. But which black people? What plans? Reconstruction on what terms? I've seen too many black- and Latino-led municipal governments and housing authorities fuel real estate speculation with tax giveaways and zoning variances, rationalizing massive displacement of poor and other working-class people with sleight-of-hand about mixed-income occupancy and appeals to the sanctity of market forces.
The only hope we have for turning back the tide of this thuggish Administration's commitment to destroy every bit of social protection that's been won in the past century lies in finding ways to build a broad movement of the vast majority of us who are not part of the investor class. We have to be clear that what happened in New Orleans is an extreme and criminally tragic coming home to roost of the con that cutting public spending makes for a better society. It is a shocking foretaste of a future that many more of us will experience less dramatically, often quietly as individuals, as we lose pensions, union protection, access to healthcare and public education, Social Security, bankruptcy and tort protection, and as we are called upon to feed an endless war machine.

Visa, MasterCard: Different Paths. Same Destination.
Beyond EMV, Industry Giants Look to Upgrade Security Measures to Improve Protection for Shoppers and Merchants
Coming this spring to a store near you – better protection from fraud and theft. At least that's what Visa and MasterCard are hoping to accomplish with two new programs.
In her story on consumerist.com, Kate Cox describes the technology each company is planning to introduce. The following has been excerpted from Cox's piece and edited to fit our format. You may find the full article by clicking on this link.
MasterCard's two-pronged approach
One element is a program called MasterCard Safety Net. The company claims … that Safety Net "provides an independent layer of security on top of the tools and policies of financial institutions, by monitoring and blocking specific transactions based on selected criteria."
The company promises, "Safety Net is designed to intervene only in extreme cases to block fraudulent activity."
The other half of MasterCard's strategy is biometrics. The company is pairing with First Tech Federal Credit Union to work on a pilot program that will allow customers to use unique identifiers — including face, fingerprint, and voice matching — to authenticate and verify transactions.
EMV transition going well
MasterCard reports that the transition is "well underway", with half of all cards and just under half (47%) of all point-of-sale terminals projected to be chip-enabled by the end of 2015.
Visa takes a different approach that works like Apple Pay
Where MasterCard is focusing on making the customer prove a charge is authorized, Visa is working on scrambling information that might be stolen, so [that thieves can't use it.].
[Called] the Visa Token Service, [it] works in basically the same way Apple Pay does (in fact, it's part of Apple Pay): instead of transmitting your 16-digit card number, expiration date, and security code, Visa instead shares a unique number — your token — with the merchant getting paid.
If someone intercepts the transmission or the system and manages to yank that token, all they have is a string of numbers. It's not a thing that can be cloned onto a new payment card or used in any meaningful way.
Beyond mobile
What's new about it is that Visa is trying to expand the Token Service out of just mobile payments, and into traditional online retailers as well. When your credit card is stored on the site of a merchant you regularly shop with, that's a weakness: anyone who breaches that database has…everything they need to commit fraud on your card. But if the merchant stores a random token in your account information, instead of your credit card number, that data once again becomes meaningless to thieves even while it remains convenient to consumers.
ThreatMetrix builds trust on the Internet by offering market-leading advanced fraud prevention and frictionless context-based security solutions. These solutions authenticate consumer and workforce access to mission critical applications using real-time identity and access analytics that leverage the world's largest trusted identity network.
ThreatMetrix secures enterprise applications against account takeover, payment fraud, fraudulent account registrations, malware, and data breaches.

Wage Rudolf Supratman
Wage Rudolf Supratman (Wage Roedolf Soepratman in the old orthography or commonly known as W. R. Supratman) (Purworejo, 9 March 1903 – Surabaya, 17 August 1938) was an Indonesian songwriter who wrote both the lyrics and melody of the national anthem of Indonesia - "Indonesia Raya."
Supratman was born Wage on 9 March 1903 in Somongari, Purworejo.[1] Several months later, his father Sergeant Djoemeno Senen Sastrosoehardjo, KNIL army added Supratman to his name and explained that Supratman born in Meester Cornelis, Batavia. Rudolf was added to his name while he went along with his sister, Rukiyem Supratiyah van Eldik to Makassar, so his rights were equal to Dutch, and he was allowed to attend Europese Lagere School.[2]
At the age of 6, he entered Budi Utomo elementary school in Cimahi. After his father retired, he was taken by Rukiyem and sent to ELS in 1914,[3] but he was dropped out because the fact that he is not European descent was revealed.[4] He continued his studies to Malay school. After returning home, he learned to play guitar and violin. His brother-in-law, van Eldik, gave him a violin as seventeenth birthday present in 1920. After graduating from Malay school in 1917, he attended Dutch language courses and graduated in 1919.[4] He continued to Normaal School and became an auxiliary teacher in Makassar after he graduated.[5]
In 1920, he and van Eldik founded a jazz-styled band, called Black & White. He played as a violinist. They performed at weddings and birthday parties in Makassar.[6]
Since July 1933, he began to feel ill. In November 1933, he resigned as Sin Po journalist and settled in Cimahi, then Palembang, finally in Surabaya. On 17 August 1938, he died at 01.00 a.m. and his remains were buried in Kenjeran, Surabaya. On 13 March 1956, his bones was moved to Tambak Segaran Wetan cemetery.[7]
Indonesia Raya[edit]
He composed both music and lyrics for the song "Indonesia Raya", which later became Indonesia's National Anthem. It was introduced at the Second Indonesian Youth Congress on 28 October 1928. It was quickly adopted by Sukarno's PNI.[8] The text was revised in November 1944, and the melody arranged to its present musical form in 1958.
The government awarded National Hero title and the Bintang Maha Putera Utama kelas III in 1971.[7]
Wage belonged to the controversial Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.[9]

Home-based functional walking program for advanced cancer patients receiving palliative care: a case series

BMC Palliative Care 2013, 12:22 doi:10.1186/1472-684X-12-22Published: 11 May 2013
Although meta-analyses have demonstrated that physical activity can positively impact quality of life outcomes in early stage cancer patients, it is not yet known whether these benefits can be extended to patients with advanced cancer. In a previous pilot survey of patients with advanced cancer with a median survival of 104 days, participants felt willing and able to participate in a physical activity intervention, and reported a strong preference for walking and home-based programming. Here, we report on the initial development and feasibility of a home-based functional walking program in patients with advanced cancer receiving palliative care.
Nine adult patients were recruited from outpatient palliative care clinics and palliative home care. A pilot intervention trial was conducted over a 6-week period. The McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire (MQOL), Late Life Function and Disability Instrument (LLFDI), Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS), Seniors Fitness Test, four-test balance scale, and grip strength, were performed pre- and post-intervention. Participants wore activPAL™ accelerometers to monitor ambulatory activity levels.
Of the nine recruited participants, three participants dropped out prior to baseline testing due to hospital admission and feeling overwhelmed, and three participants dropped out during the intervention due to severe symptoms. Only three participants completed the intervention program, pre- and post-intervention assessments: two reported improvements in total MQOL scores, yet all three shared an overall trend towards worsening symptom and total fatigue scores post-intervention. Two participants passed away within 90 days of completing the intervention.
This case series demonstrates the challenges of a physical activity intervention in patients with advanced cancer receiving palliative care. Further feasibility research is required in this patient population.

Many people have encountered the unfortunate scenario of attempting to upgrade or install the Operations Manager 2012 Agent on a SharePoint Web server hosting the Service Manager Self-Service Portal. The Windows Installer package for the agent installation checks for the existence of System Center Service Manager and will block the installation if it is detected. Well, I decided to do a little digging here and I found a work around which allows for successful installation of the OM 2012 Agent (pushed from the console or installed manually). All you need to do is perform the following steps:
So before the Registry modification, the key should look like this -
I tested this on a couple of SharePoint Web servers in my environment hosting the Service Manager 2012 Self-Service Portal and it worked like a charm.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows Server. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
do you know if this issue is fixed in SP1 for System Center 2012?
Hi Peter,
I can confirm it is not fixed with SC 2012 SP1.

Carroll's confidence high with new coach, system
CORPUS CHRISTI - When Shan Hooker took over as the head coach of the Carroll boys' basketball program, his biggest challenge wasn't implementing his up-tempo system that completely differed from the previous coaching staff's approach. It was getting his players to share his level of confidence that they could make this season memorable and end a four-year playoff drought if they came together as a team.
From his first day on campus, Hooker saw serious potential in the Tigers despite their 2-12 district record from a season ago. There was no lack of talent in his eyes, the team just didn't execute and play together like he felt they could under his guidance.
So Hooker immediately simplified things, getting away from the methodical pace of the past with a more player friendly philosophy that allowed the kids to utilize their strengths.
"These kids are tailor made to get out and run on the floor," Hooker said. "We've touched 100 points once or twice, hit the 90s a few times and the 80s. They're very capable of doing that when they get out there and push the ball, take care of it and make the right decisions. The fast break has been very instrumental in some of our victories this year when ordinarily it was a slow-down type of game in the past.
"They've adapted to it like a duck going to water. They've done a great job with it."
The Tigers (21-8, 6-2 in District 28-5A), who sit atop the district standings, have bought into Hooker's ways so much that it's hard to tell he's only been there for a year.
"The area we've grown the most in is just teamwork," Hooker said. "We've had several young men on this team who have sacrificed a lot compared to past years when they might have gotten a whole lot more shots and playing time. Their scoring average is probably lower than it's been in years past, but they've sacrificed that for the betterment of the team."
Leading the Tigers' newfound balanced attack at just under 15 points a contest is Jonathan Salazar and Josh Sanchez. Although those numbers are down from last year, the only issue they have with Hooker is that they didn't get to play for him sooner.
"I give it all to the coaching," Sanchez said. "We've got a new program that is a lot better than last year's. I think we could have competed last year if we had the coach we do now."
"Now we're working as a team," Salazar added. "Our confidence is real high. We're doing really good right now and playing as team."
To Hooker, Sanchez and Salazar represent much more than just his top two point producers. As the leaders of the team their willingness to learn and change has set the precedent for everyone else in the Tigers' program to follow.
"They're both scorers and talented athletes," Hooker said. "What they've brought is a different level of maturity. We really worked hard on the mental part of their game — not getting down on themselves too hard, or forcing things and letting the game come to them. We wanted them to be patient, get their teammates involved and they've both done that."
With the team now believing in themselves like he has from the beginning, Hooker only has one concern that he hopes to see fixed over the next few weeks that lead into the postseason.
"I think that what we're looking to do is come out of a bit of a shooting slump," Hooker said. "We've been in a shooting slump the last week or two. We see some signs of us breaking it right now so we're trying to hone up our shooting, continue to be fluid in our movements on defense and handling the ball. We're just play-polishing if you will at this time."
Hooker's inaugural Carroll squad is loaded with seniors, but sophomores Dashun Dixon and Marcus Ellison, who have played extensive minutes on varsity this year, along with strong junior varsity and freshmen teams have Hooker believing that this year is just the first of many more successful seasons to come.
"The future looks bright here with Carroll basketball" Hooker said.

EL SEGUNDO – It is called "elimination," after all.
To become the NBA championship team, you must eliminate four other teams – including one particularly imposing one at the end.
Aware that these Lakers have a history of not always using force when finesse might do, Phil Jackson has been splicing the movie "Inglourious Basterds" into basketball scouting footage throughout the postseason to reinforce the message about elimination.
One Laker, in particular, has taken to loudly quoting the movie for his teammates even outside the video room.
"We ain't in the prisoner-takin' business. We in the killin'-Nazi business. And cousin, business is a-boomin'."
You might think it's Kobe Bryant and his killer instinct. Maybe Jordan Farmar, raised Jewish and whose sister Shoshana shares her name with the movie's female lead.
No, the Laker who is going around loud-mouthing about the boastful killing is Lamar Odom – the guy whose engine invariably stops and starts, the soulful clotheshorse, the court jester who started this postseason so slowly.
He's also the emotional heart of the team.
And he's the only Laker who underachieved in their Game 1 victory.
So for all the talk about Boston bouncing back in Game 2 Sunday night, Odom is the Lakers' unfired weapon. Foul trouble limited Odom to five points, four rebounds and one assist in the opener Thursday night – though he actually started off aggressively.
"Odom didn't do what he usually does," Boston's Rajon Rondo said.
If Odom listens to himself as he said Saturday about again being in the NBA Finals: "I've always dreamed about being in this position …"
If Odom listens to the team psychiatrist who Jackson had on hand for Lakers practice Saturday to make sure the players' stay directed …
If Odom listens to the tenets of this movie that is his favorite one (although "Speed Racer" was a lot of fun, too) from all those Jackson has ever edited into game film in his annual playoff tradition …
Then Odom will deliver in Game 2.

Testability and Entity Framework 4.0
Scott Allen
Published: May 2010
This white paper describes and demonstrates how to write testable code with the ADO.NET Entity Framework 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010. This paper does not try to focus on a specific testing methodology, like test-driven design (TDD) or behavior-driven design (BDD). Instead this paper will focus on how to write code that uses the ADO.NET Entity Framework yet remains easy to isolate and test in an automated fashion. We'll look at common design patterns that facilitate testing in data access scenarios and see how to apply those patterns when using the framework. We'll also look at specific features of the framework to see how those features can work in testable code.
What Is Testable Code?
The ability to verify a piece of software using automated unit tests offers many desirable benefits. Everyone knows that good tests will reduce the number of software defects in an application and increase the application's quality - but having unit tests in place goes far beyond just finding bugs.
A good unit test suite allows a development team to save time and remain in control of the software they create. A team can make changes to existing code, refactor, redesign, and restructure software to meet new requirements, and add new components into an application all while knowing the test suite can verify the application's behavior. Unit tests are part of a quick feedback cycle to facilitate change and preserve the maintainability of software as complexity increases.
Unit testing comes with a price, however. A team has to invest the time to create and maintain unit tests. The amount of effort required to create these tests is directly related to the testability of the underlying software. How easy is the software to test? A team designing software with testability in mind will create effective tests faster than the team working with un-testable software.
Microsoft designed the ADO.NET Entity Framework 4.0 (EF4) with testability in mind. This doesn't mean developers will be writing unit tests against framework code itself. Instead, the testability goals for EF4 make it easy to create testable code that builds on top of the framework. Before we look at specific examples, it's worthwhile to understand the qualities of testable code.
The Qualities of Testable Code
Code that is easy to test will always exhibit at least two traits. First, testable code is easy to observe. Given some set of inputs, it should be easy to observe the output of the code. For example, testing the following method is easy because the method directly returns the result of a calculation.
