OpsCenter 18.104.22.168 database maxes out
The OpsCenter database (dbsrv11.exe) maxes out the CPU. I have allocated 6 cores just to the database, and they are running 100% continuously.
I have done all the obvious stuff: defrag disk, defrag database, increase cache (32GB), add processors. The only thing that quiets the database is disabling data collection for 4 of my 7 appliances, the other masters do not seem to affect performance as much.
I already opened a case, but support seems clueless about the database. Has anyone had this problem on 188.8.131.52?

HI MIlan,
How large is your database and how many JOBS per day are you pulling into OpsCenter? 22.214.171.124 had some DB and performance enhancements that even our very large customers are liking. I am worried that six cores simply isnt enough. Is this running on a VM? Not really something we recommend as it requires a lot more resources just to do a basic job. The fact that you can disable some of your appliances and performance improves tells me you may be overloading the system.
Hello Dave,
It is a standalone system, octacore, 48GB, dedicated to OpsCenter, no VM, with 30GB database and 25.000 jobs per day.
Thanks for your input, that is new info for me, as I was under the impression that we had a decently configured machine for OpsCenter purposes. We are going to scale up soon, so I am hoping this will help. However, what sort of system would we need if we added, say, a hundred appliances? It is interesting that the other NBU Masters do not seem to have such an impact, as the Appliances, but maybe it is due to the nature of the job mix that we have on the Appliances.
Ya, that is a monster system for only 25k jobs per day. Keep the support case open and force it into backline. All our other customers who have upgraded have been very pleased with the performance. This is the first I have heard of issues.
Let me ping my technical guys on the Appliance question. I know if you have 100 Masters running 1000 jobs each that isnt a big deal (100,000 jobs total) so not sure how an Appliance Master would change anything. Would all the appliances be Masters in your scenario?
Hello Dave,
Yes, thanks for the advice. I read about such a problem in 220.127.116.11, we had an EEB to deal with it. However, that was folded into 220.127.116.11. I am also thinking that maybe all the upgrades we have done have left so garbage in the database that is causing this behaviour. It would be nice to do a clean install and try it out, but we need the history.
Wish you a nice weekend !
Courious as to the contents of your server.conf file for the cache values on the database in addition to the scl.conf file settings.
If you can post them great....
Also, check the purge-status.log and see how many jobs / media / slp / etc... are purging daily.
In addition, what are your current purge settings? (In WebUI, Settings / Configuration / Purge)
Cycle OpsCenter and review the bottom of the ./db/log/server.log - are there any performance warnings and what is the most recent fragment count on vxpmdb.db?
In addition, check Anti-Virus on the host and ensure; a/v is not scanning the database on read / write operations. In fact, I would exclude the entire database directory and sub-folders....
There have been known issues with different A/V applications causing this behavior.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Note: If this post provides you with a solution don't forget to mark the discussion as solved...
Hello Tom,
Thank you for your hints.
- I tried various cache sizes, exagerating in both directions, without much effect. It is currently 32GB, memory usage for the whole system usually stabilizes around 26GB.
- scl.conf sort of grew on us organically, as issues developed and were fixed by support. I cannot review it, as I was told that scl.conf parameters are a great mystery that should not be revealed to the uninitiated:
- Purge config is:
Backup Job, Alert, Audit Trail: 420 days
SLP images: 90 day
the rest: 31 days
Time is 8:00, it is enabled, expired image purge disabled.
- Data is purged, as can be seen in reporting, but it is interesting that we completely lack a "purge-status.log" file. It appeared once upon a time, but seems to have gone underground again. Initially, we only experienced performance problems during the hour or two that it took for purge to complete, but this is no longer so.
- Performance warnings arise, due to fragmentation and I defrag the database and the disk. This helps a little bit.
- Thanks for the A/V advice, I will try that.
Hi Milan
Have been told that http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH190207 can help on 126.96.36.199 performance too
Maybe there is a statistics option for appliances too
Just for closure ...
We ended up upgrading to OpsCenter 7.6 and significantly beefing up the hardware. The problem went away and surprisingly, CPU usage is now lower. Instead of many maxed out cores, there are only two and the rest of the load is spread around more thinly. It seems it was a case of resource starvation, causing an even bigger resource grab that OpsCenter could not handle gracefully.
OpsCenter 7.6 also has a newer version of SQL Anywhere (v12) which is also more responsive. I would recommend upgrading. There is an upgrade hitch that is documented in Technote TECH211070 , read it before upgrading.
- Milan
If you have this issue, just upgrade to 7.6
I had the same issue with 22.214.171.124 (after I had the problem with 220.127.116.11). I would just reboot the VM every other day to get around it, but the box would just consume any processors assigned to it for no reason that I could see.
I upgraded to 184.108.40.206 a few days ago, which is backwards compatible with the Netbackup servers running 184.108.40.206, and its been great ever since.

Hours after Senate Gang of Eight's immigration bill [6] dropped early Wednesday, evangelical leaders from across the country gathered at the Capitol to raise their voices for comprehensive immigration reform.
In the last two years, evangelicals have been a growing voice [8] in the debate over immigration reform, hoping their votes — traditionally a bastion of conservative politics but recently broadening their engagement to gun violence prevention [9], poverty [10], and climate change [11] — hold clout on the Hill when it comes to immigration reform.
The Evangelical Immigration Table [12], a coalition of evangelical leaders from across the political spectrum, gathered hundreds of people from 25 states for a day of action on the Hill. At the morning press conference, the Table representatives did not explicitly endorse or critique the Senate's new bill [13]. Instead, leaders pledged to "come alongside" any bill that supported their unified set of principals, namely immigration reform that: protects the unity of the immediate family; respects the rule of law; guarantees national security borders; and establishes a path toward legal status and/or citizenship for those who qualify.
Launched in January 2011, the EIT has been instrumental in building a biblically based movement toward a just and merciful immigration system. In addition to issuing what several leaders called their "moral template" for reform last July, the Table also launched the "I Was a Stranger" challenge, a 40-day commitment praying through 40 verses from the Bible on immigration. They also issued a letter [14]urging the president and Senate and House leaders to address comprehensive immigration within the first 92 days of 2013 — a challenge, named for the 92 times the word "immigrant" is used in the Old Testament — on which the Senate has delivered.
Helping to kick off the day of action, Reverend Gabriel Salguero, President of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition, assured those listening on the Hill that the evangelicals gathered in Washington represent the "broadest group of evangelicals." This coalition is notable as demographics and changing social sentiments continue to diversify the evangelical community. Dr. Richard Land, President of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, agreed, noting there are five thousand southern baptists and nine million Latino evangelicals — suggesting a significant demographic shift in the "lived experience" of immigration in evangelical churches.
The action included a worship service, Hill visits, and regular "prayer walks" to House and Senate buildings, Departments and Bureaus.

The nation's largest retailer has partnered with an leading auto insurance website to allow shoppers to compare and purchase auto coverage online[1].
Consumers in eight states can now purchase auto insurance through AutoInsurance.com. Walmart's (WMT[4]) developed the website in collaboration with Tranzutary Insurance Solutions and tested the service in Pennsylvania last year. AutoInsurance.com will be marketed by WMT in Walmart stores and with a link on Walmart's website, USA TODAY notes.
AutoInsurance.com users can compare and buy policies from major insurance providers, including Travelers (TRV[5]), Progressive (PGR[6]), Safeco and Esurance. According to WMT, a survey found that customers who purchased coverage through AutoInsurance.com during its test-run last year saved an average of more than $1,100 in annual auto insurance payments. WMT plans to roll out the service nationwide this year.
A Walmart executive indicated that WMT is working with Tranzutary Insurance Solutions on a life insurance service, currently available in Georgia and South Carolina as part of a trial.
The auto insurance service represents yet another step by Walmart to expand its financial service offerings. WMT recently launched its own money-transfer service[7], permitting customers to send money to and from Walmart stores.
WMT stock slipped slightly in Wednesday morning trading.

Welcome to the Future! It's the Non-Stick Ketchup Bottle!
by Mike Casey
posted May 24 2012 4:53AM
It's the world's biggest non-problem problem: getting ketchup out of the bottle.
engineers at MIT
have fixed it. They
designed the perfect bottle and ketchup cannot stick to it.
The secret is in a substance known as "LiquiGlide,"
a non-toxic, FDA-approved coating that can be applied to the interior of bottles.
Regardless of what the bottle is constructed of, liquid or plastic, ketchup will flow out of it effortlessly.
Mike's Thoughts: I for one sleep much better at night knowing that America's best and brightest minds are hard at work on.....condiments.
Maybe next they can tackle that issue where the mustard settles in the container and your first squirt results in "mustard water" rather than actual mustard.
Making the world a better place, one condiment at a time.

research guide
editors & contributors
write the editor
The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
Laurier LaPierre, an influential broadcaster and Canada's first openly gay Senator, died on December 17, 2012 in Montreal. A former McGill University history professor, he came to national prominence as co-host of CBC Television's controversial current affairs program This Hour Has Seven Days in the 1960s. After declaring his sexual orientation in the 1980s, he became a gay activist. He was appointed to the Senate in 2001 by Prime Minister Jean Chrétien. He served until reaching 75, the mandatory retirement age for senators, in 2004.
LaPierre was born into a poor family in Lac-Mégantic, Québec. He attended St. Michael's College, where he earned a B.A. in 1955. He received a Ph.D in history from the University of Toronto in 1962. He subsequently wrote several books about Canadian and Québécois history.
This Hour Has Seven Days, a current affairs program that mixed news, interviews, documentaries, commentary, and satire, often raised the ire of critics and CBC executives and he ultimately was fired for expressing his political views.
His co-host on the program, Patrick Watson, remarked that in LaPierre "There was this extraordinary combination of the serious journalist and historian, and the playful challenger of conventionality and stuffiness, and he was able to range though both in a single interview with extraordinary skill and grace."
After coming out publicly in the late 1980s, he became an activist with the gay rights group EGALE.
While in the Senate, LaPierre became a passionate advocate for the rights of aboriginal peoples, as well as for glbtq rights. He also repeatedly expressed support for former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's vision of a Canada in which bilingualism flourished from coast to coast.
He sponsored Bill C-250, which protects glbtq people from hate speech and propaganda. In 2004, when the bill was being debated, to make a point he sent emails to an avowed Christian who opposed the bill, stating, "You people are sick. God should strike you dead!" and "In a book that is supposed to speak of love, you find passages of hatred. You should be ashamed of yourself for reading such books!"
LaPierre ultimately apologized for the emails, but he had effectively made his point about the dangers of hate speech and the seriousness of hate crimes.
As Matthew Hays points out in the Canadian gay magazine Xtra!, LaPierre published an article in the magazine in 2009 in which he recalled the elation he felt when Pierre Trudeau decriminalized sodomy in 1969.
"Free at last," LaPierre wrote. "That's how I first felt when I heard the news." But he was quick to add that "unfortunately, the feeling did not last very long . . . At first, we all thought the bill had decriminalized homosexuality . . . However, it soon became clear that [it] had only decriminalized certain limited actions."
"We've come a long way since Trudeau partially decriminalized gay sex 40 years ago," LaPierre continued. "We have built community, come out in droves, connected with each other, demanded and obtained equal rights. We even won the right to marry.
But, he added that while "Gay kids today are adjusting and coming out more easily, . . . many teachers still think like Queen Victoria and many young people still grow up with the message from parents, teachers and religion that sex is sinful and gay sex is worse."
If our society is to truly liberate sexuality, gay and straight, we have to talk about sex, LaPierre contended. "We need to discuss the essential value of expressing the totality of our bodies, of our attractions and desires."
LaPierre was made an officer of the Order of Canada in 1994.
He is survived by his long-time partner, Harvey Slack, two sons from an early marriage, and several grandchildren.
In the video below, LaPierre addresses the 2001 Congress of Aboriginal Peoples.

Herb Lane -- General Sessions Criminal Court Judge Division 7
As part of The Commercial Appeal editorial board's endorsement process for the Aug. 5 election, the board sent a questionnaire to candidates in the five contested judicial races on the ballot. The questionnaire was designed specifically to elicit information about the candidates' legal background and experiences that they believe have prepared them to sit on a court bench. The candidates also were asked how they became interested in the legal profession and their general views about ethical standards in the federal, state and local judiciary and how they might be improved.
As a service to voters, we are posting responses on our voting guide. Several candidates, however, asked that their response not be posted.
Name: Herb Lane
Position sought: General Sessions Criminal Court Judge Division 7
Is your primary place of residence within the district or jurisdiction to which you are seeking election? Yes.
How long have you been a registered voter? Since 1968.
What was the last election in which you voted? Primary election in May 2010
How long have you been a resident of Shelby County? 35 years
Occupation: Attorney at Law
What is your primary source of income? Shelby County Government
Have you ever been convicted of a crime? No.
Have you ever been sued in a court of law? No.
Have you ever been disciplined by the state board of Professional Responsibility? No.
List any experiences that you believe have helped prepare you to serve in the judicial office you are seeking: Serving as a defense counsel for four (4) years and as a prosecuting attorney for five (5) years has given me unique understanding of the attitudes, motivations and expectations of defendants and victims, as well as police officers, witnesses and others who appear before the Court.
What sets you apart from the other candidate or candidates in this race? Please be specific: I currently serve as Chief Magistrate of Juvenile Court and have served in the judiciary there for 21 years, longer than any other candidate in this race. As Magistrate I adjudicate the facts of each case and make fair and impartial dispositions as required by the law.
In what ways can ethical standards in federal, state and local government and the judiciary be improved? And what will you do, if elected, to improve those standards? As in all professions, leading by example is the best way that insures respect for the Court is maintained. I would be an advocate for personal and professional improvement by encouraging contact between the local bench and bar; specifically, move to establish a program to allow attorneys to voice their concerns about those who serve in the judiciary.
What will be your top priorities if elected to this office? Please be specific: 1. Cases shall be decided fairly and impartially according to the law.
2. All parties shall be treated with dignity and respect.
3. Delays and continuances shall be avoided whenever possible.
4. Cases shall be adjudicated in a timely manner.
5. Court shall begin on time.
6. A mental health court should be promoted and established, similar to the one in Nashville.
Please explain why you became interested in the law and please explain your judicial philosophy: Shortly after discharge from the military, my wife and I were involved in a serious motor vehicle accident. I discovered that the law was a powerful tool and that lawyers had the ability to do great good and great evil. Judges are there to protect individual rights and see that the right thing is done. I believe that judges should treat everyone equally and decide cases fairly and impartially, and always ensure that justice is done.
What is your favorite legal case, civil or criminal? Please explain. It does not have to be one in which you were personally involved and it does not have to be a recent case: Brown vs. Board of Education. – "All men are created equal" does not mean that we are all born with the same talents and abilities but rather we are all entitled to the same opportunities. The Brown case forced the nation to confront an ugly reality and injustice and in so doing forever changed the direction of public education. All children are entitled to reach their full potential and they can do so if given equal opportunity. The Brown case produced some brilliant legal decisions and opened a dialog that proved to be a catalyst for change.

Raging Moderate, by Will Durst
The nation held its collective breath and turned not just blue but a veritable rainbow of colors as the Supreme Court spent a goodly part of two days hearing oral arguments on gay marriage. Well, at least they were in the same room as arguments about gay marriage were oralled. In a position to eavesdrop on a series of gay marriage arguments, if they were of a mind to.
You can never really pin down which of the nine Phat Ebony Robes is hearing what. Court watchers long have presumed Justice Scalia underwent a powdered- wig strict constructionist-filter installation years back that insures nothing post-18th century funnels through to his cognitive cells. And if Antonin can't hear it, as far as Clarence Thomas is concerned, it doesn't exist. The others hear what they want to hear. Proving they do indeed represent America.
The Supremes will weigh in on the Defense of Marriage Act and the legality of California's Proposition 8 sometime in June. Until then the suspense is killing us — thrillingly. Although the fact they're using "opposite-sex marriage" to describe heterosexuality should already be counted as a victory. And like everything else that comes before the court, final disposition probably depends on which side of the bed Justice Kennedy wakes up.
Don't tell the Berobed Ones (mustn't allow deeper insecurity complexes to develop), but it doesn't really matter how they rule, because gay marriage is on the fast track to be permanently woven into the fabric of our national diversity quilt. The handwriting is on the wall. And the penmanship is stunning.
Across the country, same-sex marriage polls have risen faster than property taxes in a tulip bubble. Pollster Nate Silver of The New York Times, the nation's soothsayer, expects national support to increase 1.5 percentage points each year. And let us lay thanks at the remote of the one-eyed HD beast, television.
Familiarity breeds tolerance. Gay celebs such as Ellen DeGeneres and Anderson Cooper have encouraged kids of today to live their lives openly. Allowing middle America enough interactive glances to realize the gay community doesn't devote most of its waking hours attempting to engorge the Armies of Sodom brandishing pitchforks and sporting horns. Like we were told. Over and over.
When you say "gay people," the emphasis is on the people and the only real difference between gay and straight is which way your head faces during sex. That's it. And an uncanny ability to assemble amazing appetizer trays. Grilled asparagus wrapped in goat cheese and prosciutto? Yes! Fist bump. Blow it up. Now talk about it.
And forget the malevolent clowns of the Westboro Baptist Church, who make God laugh so hard he spits milk through his nose. Casual bigotry is dying off. Literally. Old people and their parents with a life radius of 30 miles. Oh sure, there will always be prejudice, stupidity and fear but society is rapidly realizing that "gay" is just another adjective; like blonde or buff or stinky.
Whether its generational shifts, enlightened minds or disco going mainstream, the tide of tolerance is proving inexorable. Only a matter of time before gay marriage is universally accepted, and then it will seem perfectly routine until eventually it becomes mandatory. Dibs on Clooney!

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked the Centre and the Sports Authority of India (SAI) to consider the representation seeking roll back of the fees which has been recently hiked for using facilities at various stadiums in the national capital.
"Representation by petitioner (Shailendra) be considered by the officer of the respondents (Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, SAI and Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee swimming pool complex)," Justice Vibhu Bakhru said.
The court disposed of the plea asking the Sports Ministry to consider the request of a 65-year-old petitioner, a regular swimmer for about 50 years, within four weeks. Shailendra has submitted that in November 2011, the then Sports Minister had unveiled a programme -- 'Come and Play Scheme' -- for usage of SAI stadiums to encourage large-scale participation in sports and optimal utilisation of the stadiums and the facilities therein.
Under the scheme, the facilities were available free of cost to people below poverty line and at one-third rates to students of government schools with the purpose of encouraging sports at every level of society to find and nurture talent for international sporting events, the petition said.
Thereafter, on August 5, 2014, the SAI had revised the fees under the scheme with effect from July 11, 2014 for all stadiums including the Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee swimming pool complex, the petition said, adding that the hike was manifold.
The petitioner, who holds membership card under 'Come and Play Scheme' said that earlier the monthly fees for using the pool, at any time of the year, was Rs 300 for those below 25 years of age and Rs 500 for those who were older, but post- revision the monthly charges were fixed at Rs 2500 and Rs 3000 for summers and winters and had sought quashing of the fee hike.

Adam Jones hit a two-run homer in the first inning against Francisco Liriano and the Baltimore Orioles hung on to beat the Minnesota Twins 2-1 on Wednesday night. Josh Willingham's home run in the fourth was all Minnesota could manage against Tommy Hunter (4-4), who returned to Baltimore's stumbling rotation with a solid performance that lasted one out into the eighth inning. Liriano (3-9) recovered after giving up the ball Jones crushed into the back of the second deck in left field, striking out 10 batters in six innings. His 25 strikeouts over his last two starts are a career best for consecutive outings, and this was only the third time he's posted consecutive double-digit strikeout totals. Hunter was slightly better, limiting the Twins to six hits.

Minimal changes for 2014 Sprint Cup schedule
Oct 15, 2013, 12:15 PM EDT
Outside of a couple of already announced changes, next year's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule will look very much like this year's docket.
Darlington Speedway and Kansas Speedway have swapped dates for their spring events, with "The Lady In Black" moving from its Mother's Day weekend spot to Sat., April 12 and Kansas moving to Sat., May 10. Both events will be night races.
Also, Texas Motor Speedway's spring race has moved from its normal Saturday night running to the afternoon of Sunday, Apr. 6 in order to avoid a conflict with the NCAA men's basketball Final Four, which will play on Saturday and Monday in nearby Arlington, Texas.
Additionally, NASCAR has also announced that its new Air Titan track drying system – which reduces drying time in the event of rainfall – will be available at every Sprint Cup race weekend in 2014.
"Having the Air Titan at each NASCAR Sprint Cup Series weekend allows us to meet a very important goal set by our Chairman and CEO, Brian France: To drastically decrease track-drying time to the best of our ability and ensure our fans in the stands and those watching on TV get to see each race on its scheduled day," said NASCAR senior VP of racing operations Steve O'Donnell in a statement.
Here's how next year's schedule will shake out:
2/15 – Daytona International Speedway (Sprint Unlimited)
2/16 – Daytona International Speedway (Daytona 500 Qualifying)
2/20 – Daytona International Speedway (Duels)
2/23 – Daytona 500
3/2 – Phoenix International Raceway
3/9 – Las Vegas Motor Speedway
3/16 – Bristol Motor Speedway
3/23 – Auto Club Speedway
3/30 – Martinsville Speedway
4/6 – Texas Motor Speedway
4/12 – Darlington Raceway
4/26 – Richmond International Raceway
5/4 – Talladega Superspeedway
5/10 – Kansas Speedway
5/17 – Charlotte Motor Speedway (NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race)
5/25 – Charlotte Motor Speedway
6/1 – Dover International Speedway
6/8 – Pocono Raceway
6/15 – Michigan International Speedway
6/22 – Sonoma Raceway
6/28 – Kentucky Speedway
7/5 – Daytona International Speedway
7/13 – New Hampshire Motor Speedway
7/27 – Indianapolis Motor Speedway
8/3 – Pocono Raceway
8/10 – Watkins Glen International
8/17 – Michigan International Speedway
8/23 – Bristol Motor Speedway
8/31 – Atlanta Motor Speedway
9/6 – Richmond International Raceway
9/14 – Chicagoland Speedway
9/21 – New Hampshire Motor Speedway
9/28 – Dover International Speedway
10/5 – Kansas Speedway
10/11 – Charlotte Motor Speedway

Vegas should have a second race n it should be in the chase
- wethog66 - Oct 16, 2013 at 12:22 PM
I agree Vegas should have a 2nd race, but I disagree with the 2nd race being in the chase. There are already tracks similar to Vegas in the chase. The boring 1 1/2 tracks. The chase needs a road coarse and 1 more short track, or Pocono instead of an extra short track.
The chase should be a collection of different tracks to challenges the drivers and will ensure the champion will be an all around champion on all forms of tracks associated with NASCAR.

University of Michigan
Muslim Students' Association
Fast-A-Thon is an annual event organized by the Muslim Students' Association at the University of Michigan whose goal is to attract students from different backgrounds to participate in a one day fast as well as encourage students to donate to a noble humanitarian cause that needs support. This event is in its 13th consecutive year at the University of Michigan. Every year, students pledge to fast from sunrise to sunset on the day of the event, and sponsors also donate money on behalf of each participant to a selected beneficiary. Fast-A-Thon concludes with a dinner in the evening, where participants have a chance to reflect on the day of fasting and the cause, as well as make new friends.
Fundraising for a humanitarian cause has always been a notable effort that Fast-A-Thon organizers rally the community to support. Instead of being a passive student body or being part of the silent majority, we hope to encourage students to be part of the solution. We want to show people that strength is in our numbers and unification, and that we can make an impact and be agents of change by donating our time and efforts to a cause. We are asking the wider community, comprised of a diverse group of businesses, community members, alumni, as well as students to donate. By raising funds for children being deprived of education, this event serves the local community and encourages social action. During the day of the event, participants learn about the tradition of fasting in a multicultural context, which adds to the educational component of the event. Additionally, because the beneficiary is one whose plight has been in the international news media, we believe that this fundraiser will garner support from a large concerned audience.
This year's Fast-A-Thon will fundraise to send displaced Syrian refugee kids to school. The organization we have partnered with is the Syrian Sunrise Foundation (SSF) which is a non-profit 501(C)3 humanitarian organization. It has provided orphan support, medical aid, food aid, funded educational programs and schools, and much more to Syrian refugees. As concerned college students we feel it is imperative fundraise to support SSF's educational programs and schools. According to UNHCR, WFP, WHO, and UNICEF more than 3000 schools have been destroyed since the start of the Syrian conflict, and about 90% of displaced children dropped out of school. In 2012 to 2013, SSF spent $285,698 dollars funding schools, teachers, textbooks, and more. It is a great opportunity to provide students and the general community a medium to contribute how ever much they can to improve Syrian kids' access to an education.
Fast-A-Thon has grown popular at a national level in top U.S Universities. It has been an annual event that Muslim communities at different college campuses host to bring together both Muslim students and students of other beliefs to meet Muslims and learn something new about the Islamic faith. The one practical step this event encourages students to uphold is fasting from food and drinking from dawn to sunset. This is one of the tenets of Islam and on the day of the event students are encouraged to try this unique ritual. At the University of Michigan, the event has been successful for the past thirteen years, bringing together up to two hundred students from different backgrounds to break fast together at the time of sunset.
Students that have attended this event have expressed the spiritual upliftment they feel as a result of participating in Fast-A-Thon. Whether its the short inspiring sermon, making new friends during breakfast, or the long hours of fasting followed by a tasty dinner, all these are what make Fast-A-Thon a highly anticipated event by U of M students. For Muslim students, this event is especially unique as they get to teach a friend or classmate about their faith and why they fast.
Every year the organizers of Fast-A-Thon strive to make the event a unique experience for the attendees. That means serving a delicious meal as a reward for those who fasted the long hours in the day. That also means arranging for a great motivational speaker to engage the audience. These two expectations that Fast-A-Thon organizers have fulfilled in the past, require a great amount of money to provide. Organizers of Fast-A-Thon across the nation usually charge students to attend. However, at the University of Michigan, organizers have kept the attendance free of cost and we as well want to maintain that.Thus, we reach out to you to help us strengthen our budget for this highly appreciated event by many U of M students. Funding is crucial as the success of this type of event has proven to be correlated with the amount of money the organizers are allowed.

A little while ago there were rumours of some major financial issues at Crytek. Employees had apparently not been paid in months, many were searching for other jobs and Ryse 2 had been officially canned. Crytek denied these rumours, but a new report suggests that their latest project is now in serious trouble.
News of Sony's financial woes aren't new with the previous supreme leader of electronics having been in financial straits for a few years now but according to some new research the company may be in more trouble than we originally thought.
No, not the guys from Gearbox, they're too busy swimming in Borderlands 2 money. No, the outsourced guys who actually made game, TimeGate Studios, has apparently laid off its entire staff.
The Internet is responsible for a lot of things, the decline of print, the increase in information and free access to porn for all.. but the Internet does not only use its power for good, unfortunately there is also a sad side to it and this has reared its head again with yet another huge retailer failing to stay afloat.
On the 20th of December we were all greeted with the news that THQ had officially gone bankrupt but that Clearlake Capital had picked up the companies assets and IP's and that future development was still on target.
THQ's been getting quite a lot of bad press at the moment around it's rumoured imminent closing and that it possibly killed off it's entire 2014 release slate.
It's continuously denied these rumours but at the same time it's share price is tanking badly and bad press isn't going to help that issue at all and now it's just got worse.
Last week we posted up the story of an industry insider publicly stating that THQ will be closed or sold before June and during that article I took a look at their stock price and was horrified.
How could a company allow itself to plummet that badly without doing something to resolve the underlying issues?
The studio behind the critically acclaimed LA Noire is facing bankruptcy, according to a report from Kotaku Australia, with studio Head Brendan McNamara looking to merge with another local company, all thanks to recent allegations over tyrannical working conditions, and Rockstar Games publically admitting that they will no longer publish any of their games.
With the economy being what it is, a lot of larger companies are feeling the heat more than most of us may think.
Midway, who has been struggling for a while, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which means that they want to try and continue but are waiting for permission from the courts. Chapter 7 is the one that you don't want to be filing for, because it's the one that means you are going into liquidation.
Here are some official comments from Midway regarding this whole ordeal:
"We have been focused on realigning our operations and improving our execution, and this filing will relieve the immediate pressure from our creditors and provide us time for an orderly exploration of our strategic alternatives. This Chapter 11 filing is the next logical step in an ongoing process to address our capital structure."
 Midway have not been having too much fun lately. They've been short of money - $250 million short, to be exact – and their stakeholders would like some of that money back. Good news then for fans of the once mighty purveyor of arcade games – Its latest Mortal Kombat game, the comic-book crossover MK vs. DC has shipped nearly two million copies.

|The effects of a looping classroom among third grade students in an urban school district
|Danley, Angela Jean
|University of Missouri--Kansas City
|This quantitative study compared the AIMSweb academic achievement in the area of reading and mathematics of third grade students assigned to looping classrooms and non-looping classrooms in one urban school district. Further, the study examined the parent perceptions of their students' academic and affective experiences in the looping classrooms and non-looping classrooms. Parents of the third grade looping classrooms and non-looping classroom were invited to participate in a survey of Likert-scale items to communicate their perceptions of academic and affective outcomes in these classrooms. The results for this survey indicated academic and affective experiences were not rated significantly higher by parents of the third grade looping classrooms than those parents of the third grade non-looping classrooms. The AIMSweb Reading Curriculum Based Measure (R-CBM) data and the Mathematics Concepts and Applications (M-CAP) Assessment data from the 2009-2010 school year were analyzed. AIMSweb achievement scores of third grade students assigned to looping classrooms were compared to the third grade students assigned to the non-looping classrooms using an independent samples t-test. Analysis of the AIMSweb reading and mathematics data indicated that all third grade students assigned to the looping classrooms did not perform significantly higher when compared to all the third grade students assigned to the non-looping classrooms.

"Mirror Mirror on the Wall, Why Does..."
Well after much thought and a lot of homework. I finally scheduled my surgery for June 11th! I'm so excited to share my journey with everyone. I have contemplated doing this for so long and I finally got up the courage when I realized that the longer I wait the more I sag! I want to say thank you to everyone who has posted reviews and especially photos, you have all been such an inspiration... more
"8 Decades Young and Feeling It! -..."
The motivation for having my face lift was trying to look as good on the outside as I felt on the inside. My neck was beginning to look 80 years old, and I wasn't fond of my well earned wrinkles. Friends and family thought I looked beautiful the way I was, but I wanted to regain a firm fresh look. more
"Much Needed Face Lift - Fort..."
At 67years old I was in need of a face lift and upper and lower eyes. The bags under my eyes were horrible and my eyelids were really bad Dr Thomason was the third PS I had a consult with. He was kind, soft spoken and understood what I wanted. I knew he was the PS I wanted to work on my face and I was right. Dr Thomason is an excellent PS. I had my procedure done in his office under local... more
"Doing It for Me - Fort Lauderdale, FL"
I am a 70 year old woman who had rhinoplasty as a teenager, breast reduction as a 40-something, and am planning for a neck lift, facelift, and upper and lower bleph. I was happy with the results of the previous surgeries, and remember wishing I had done them earlier. Why am I doing this now? Because I want to see the self I know in the mirror.
I am traveling to FL from Baltimore for the... more
"65 Years Old - Miami, FL"
I wanted to remove sagging skin from my neck and face. I am very happy with some of the results so far, but every day as the swelling goes down I notice more positive changes. My neck already looks really good.I cant wait until all the swelling has gone to see the final results.I probably will have other work done and definetelly will have Dr Franco do them. more
"Cannot Wait Until Next..."
Hi Ladies. I have enjoyed all the reviews I have come across on RealSelf and it is time for me to start my own.:)
I am having a short scar FL plus a brow lift on 6/3/14, and I am apprehensive, nervous, and excited all at the same time.
I turned 48 last month, and basically up until 2011 had not had any PS work done..........not even botox. So......I am a late bloomer:)

"Face Lift for my 48th Birthday! -..."
After years of fillers and a waste-of-time-and-money Ultherapy treatment last year (I have a review of that fiasco, click here) I am having a face lift!

I am going with my beloved PS Dr. Leonard Hochstein who did my breast lift/reduction a few years back (click here to see my review, "New Boobs This September"). Surgery is 1 week... more
"Just Saying! - Miami, FL"
I am sitting here reading reviews and I just have to comment. My experience seems so different from most of the reviews. I had face, not brow lift, neck, eyelid and had muscle between brow cut. After 2 months i finally feel a little normal but my face is numb, under chin, forehead, eyebrows, earlobes. I think that covers it. I am not a wimp I am in great shape and I am 58. This procedure... more

Ok, I know I have a high pain threshold but I didn't think I will feel so little pain after... more
"Sagging Skin is No Longer a Reason..."
I remember how excited, scared and nervous I was before surgery. Dr. Pascual was a doll, but I just couldn't get rid of the thought that something might go wrong. I was under for several hours and felt so weird after waking up. Healing took a couple of months, I still have some pain every now and then, but my face isn't as tender as it was before. The result is amazing taking into account how... more

I went under a face -neck lift and upper and lower eye lid surgery with Dr Rodriguez in Dr Spera office.
I am not happy with the results. Far to be a long last result as a face lift promises, 7-12 years. Instead, this face lifts last 1 year only. After my surgery, I had to wait six months to get a revision because the Jaws and chin was not lifted at all. Also I went under a review for my eye... more

On Sept 12th 9 days ago I had a Face/Neck Lift along with a Blepharoplasty (both lids).
I was anxious prior to surgery, because I had form images in my mind of this "Great Deal of Pain" I would need to endured to see myself looking more refreshed.

Trepidation about having a facelift? Absolutely! Vanity won out and I am extremely glad it did. Wanted to look better, tighten up some but not expecting to look 25.

I had a bad brow lift and chin implant from another plastic surgeon 3 years ago. The brow lift left me with that awful deer in the headlights look and a big white scar across my forehead and the chin implant was terrible so I took it out but it left me with saggy skin in my neck.
The procedures I had were a reverse brow lift and mid-face lift and it has made such a difference. The reverse... more
