Indonesia posts 6.5% GDP growth for 2011
More News from Shirley Wibisono
JAKARTA—Indonesia said Monday its economy grew at the fastest rate for 15 years in 2011, spurred by strong household consumption and private investment in Southeast Asia's biggest economy.
The country, which has become a magnet for foreign money, posted a 6.5 percent rise in gross domestic product last year – the quickest pace since the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis – putting it on track to hit the government's 6.7 percent forecast for this year.
The strong figures were led by a 4.7 percent rise in domestic demand, which accounted for around 60 percent of GDP, and an 8.8 percent surge in private investment, according to a government official.
Government spending also rose 3.2 percent, the official added.
With a population of 240 million, Indonesia has become a focus for foreign investors who ploughed $20 billion into the economy in 2011, up from $17 billion the year before.
Singapore, Japan and the United States were among top investors, tapping into the country's growing mining and telecommunications sectors, as well as winning contracts for much-needed infrastructure developments.
Last week, the government said Indonesia posted a 29 percent surge in exports last year, reaching $203.62 billion and surpassing an official target of $200 billion.
The data came after Fitch ratings in December granted Indonesia an investment-grade credit rating after 14 years of junk status, followed by a similar move from Moody's Investors Service last month.
But as some developed nations remain in the economic doldrums and others begin to make slow recoveries, Indonesia expects lower demand for its exports to slow its rapid growth to 6.43 percent in the first quarter.
"This year's economic growth will depend on the government's strategy to cope with the continuing global crisis," said Central Statistics Agency spokesman Suryamin, who goes by one name.
Credit Suisse in a report Monday held a more pessimistic view, forecasting annual growth this year at 6.0 percent, warning Indonesia's loose monetary policy could overheat the economy later this year.
"Indonesia may be the only country in Asia to show virtually no signs of an economic slowdown whatsoever, but this has not stopped its central bank from delivering more in the way of rate reductions than any other in the region to date," the report said.
Meanwhile, Indonesia's bourse was one of Asia's best-performing markets last year, gaining 3.2 percent as many exchanges around the world contracted amid tough global economic conditions.
The market has soared around 5.0 percent so far this year.

|Product differentiation and the role of contracts: the US pork industry case
|Jang, Jongick
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|This dissertation studies factors influencing the rapid transition from spot markets to contracts recently observed in the exchanges between farm producers and processors or distributors. In particular, it attempts to fill gaps between the existing literature on organizational form choice and processors' or retailers' practices on contract choice recently observed in the agro-food sector by offering theoretical arguments and empirical analysis. On the theoretical side, it develops the concept of product specificity to a buyer by looking at the interaction between processors' or retailers' product differentiation activities in downstream markets and their procurement practices in upstream markets and then incorporates it into the existing theories of contracts to more consistently explain the rapid transition. On the empirical side, the product specificity analytical framework is applied to a more comprehensive analysis of contract structure and choice in the US pork industry. The results from long-term hog procurement contract documents analysis and an econometric analysis of the primary data generated from a survey of pork packers support the theoretical arguments.

After a blockbuster year with record sales, video-games publishers show no signs of letting up in 2008 as they prepare for the release of a parade of new titles for legions of gamers.
The gaming community is already buzzing over the long-awaited release of such titles as Grand Theft Auto IV from Take-Two (TTWO - Get Report), Spore from Electronic Arts (ERTS) and Little Big Planet, a new game from Media Molecule, a small game developer. Industry observers say some of the releases could spark a new trend in games offerings.
The stakes are huge. THQ (THQI) is pinning its hopes on the release of Saints Row 2. And Nintendo hopes its new fitness game will provide a successful template for its best-selling console.
Together, these new games could take the industry even higher. Despite fears of a slowdown in the economy and weak consumer spending, industry sales were up 52% to $13.2 billion, as of November, from a year ago. Gamers saw one of the biggest lineups ever with releases that included such blockbusters as Halo 3, Call of Duty IV, Rock Band, and Guitar Hero 3.The year clearly belonged to Activision (ATVI - Get Report), which not only

Legislature refuses to aid Dolphins
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP)
As Dan Marino campaigned for Miami to be chosen the site of the 50th Super Bowl, he made no pretense about being objective on the subject.
''In my opinion,'' the former Dolphins quarterback said, ''every Super Bowl should be here.''
2013 NFL SCHEDULECheck out the full slate for next season.
Instead, the NFL championship game might not return to Miami for a long time. Last week the Dolphins were denied public money for a stadium upgrade by the state Legislature, which removes South Florida from serious contention for the 50th Super Bowl and perhaps subsequent NFL and college title games as well.
The defeat in Tallahassee also raises questions about the future of the Dolphins under multibillionaire owner Stephen Ross. He contends $350 million in stadium improvements are badly needed, but he's unwilling to foot the entire bill himself, and ruled out a less expensive, scaled-down renovation.
The Dolphins say they're already heavily in debt and one of the NFL's most leveraged teams, making upgrades impossible without taxpayer help.
''I don't think there is a clear alternative at this point,'' chief executive officer Mike Dee said. ''I don't think there is a road to a Plan B without legislative action in Tallahassee.''
Ross, 72, hasn't indicated any desire to bring aboard a co-owner to help finance a stadium project. He hasn't threatened to move the Dolphins, and it's unlikely the league would abandon South Florida, with several NFL franchises in smaller markets more logical candidates for relocation to Los Angeles or elsewhere.
The Dolphins could try again next year for legislative approval, but they may have burned that bridge with their criticism of House Speaker Will Weatherford, who killed the plan by not putting it up for a vote.
''He'll still be the speaker of the House next year,'' Dee said, ''and I don't see him changing his opinion.''
The stadium owned by Ross opened in 1987, and the Dolphins have argued upgrades are essential to keep Miami competitive in Super Bowl bidding. The city has hosted the game 10 times, and Miami and San Francisco are finalists for the 50th Super Bowl in 2016.
''The House leadership has made our efforts to bring the Super Bowl back to Miami and South Florida much more difficult,'' said Rodney Barreto, chairman of the South Florida Super Bowl Host Committee.
Without legislative approval, the Dolphins were unable to go forward with a planned May 14 referendum on the issue in Miami-Dade County. The team had sought up to $289 million from an increase in the county hotel tax, and up to $90 million in state sales tax rebates. The bill would have also allowed other professional sports teams in Florida to compete for a share of state tax dollars.
The referendum outcome was uncertain, with opponents complaining the plan constituted corporate welfare. The Dolphins had already spent millions in campaign money, with such former players as Marino, Bob Griese and Jason Taylor lobbying on their behalf, arguing voter approval would significantly strengthen Miami's Super Bowl bid.
Now San Francisco's the heavy favorite when NFL owners choose the host city May 21. The site of the 2017 Super Bowl will also be chosen, with owners selecting either the runner-up city for the 2016 game or Houston.
''This is not the stadium we had hoped we could include in the bid,'' Dee said. ''But we will be there when the NFL owners vote, and we'll put our best foot forward.''
NFL DRAFT IN PHOTOSTake a look back at some of the memorable images from the 2013 NFL Draft.
Houston Texans owner Bob McNair said his city won't become complacent about its chances of hosting the 2017 game.
''Certainly what happened doesn't help Miami's bid. There's no doubt about that,'' McNair said. ''But that doesn't say that the owners couldn't decide to still go to Miami.''
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said stadium upgrades would help keep Miami competitive in Super Bowl bidding. He visited Tallahassee last week and lobbied legislators to pass the Dolphins' bill.
The league declined to comment Monday on the stadium situation.
Miami has hosted the Super Bowl 10 times, most recently in 2010, and league owners love the destination. But the multipurpose stadium can't compete with more modern NFL counterparts.
Joe Robbie built the stadium with his own money for $115 million, and former owner Wayne Huizenga spent $250 million on renovations in 2007. The latest improvements envisioned included adding about 3,600 seats close to the field, along with a partial canopy roof to shield fans from sun and rain.
Now those plans are in limbo. Might Ross seek to move the franchise?
''He has said he will not, and he stands by that,'' Dee said. ''Long-term for a subsequent owner, without a solution to this, the prospects are challenging in Miami-Dade County.''
Does Ross want to sell the team?
''I don't think that's where he is today,'' Dee said. ''But this is still raw. He loves this team. He loves the community. But long-term, the prospects are uncertain.''
In a statement released after last week's legislative defeat, Ross said nothing about selling or moving.
''I will continue to do all I can,'' he said, ''to build a winning team for the people of Miami-Dade.''

The McLaren F1 was the greatest road car of all time - just look what happened when Hammond and the Stig raced one against the Bugatti Veyron. Now its successor, the MP4-12C, has arrived. You should be excited.
Let's start with some numbers. The mid-engined 12C is powered by an all-new 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 with a dry sump and flat-plane crank. It produces 600bhp and 443lb ft of torque, 80 per cent of which is available from less than 2,000rpm. It will weigh just under 1,400kg.
Though McLaren hasn't released any performance figures, a 0-60mph time near three seconds and a top speed in excess of 200mph would seem highly likely. So, yeah, it's going to be fast. Not quite as insanely quick as the original F1, but still... fast.
The 12C is underpinned by a revolutionary new one-piece carbon fibre tub, a brand new piece of technology that weighs in at just 81kg. There's more clever tech on board, too - an all-new seven-speed dual clutch transmission (called SSG) and innovative suspension that does without a conventional anti-roll bar, featuring instead hydraulically inter-connected dampers. Oh, and - just like the original F1 - there's a rear air brake.
What do you think of the looks? True, it's much more... slow-burning than most 600bhp mid-engined sports cars, but McLaren MD Anthony Sheriff says that was exactly the point.
"The structure, layout and packaging were all defined before we put pen to paper," says Sheriff. "We started with an aerodynamic proportions model to see if we could meet the targets we'd set, and created a shape around that."
Frank Stephenson - who joined McLaren in 2008 after a long stint at BMW and a shorter one at Ferrari, Fiat and Alfa Romeo, agrees.
"There's an efficiency to the design of the 12C," says Stephenson. "The shape is not overpowered by styling tricks or elements that don't need to be there. With McLaren it's more technological - there's no styling for styling's sake."
McLaren plans to build around 1000 12Cs each
year, with prices expected to start at just under £150,000 - right on
Ferrari 458 money. That's a virtual bargain compared to the original
F1, which weighed it at over half a million quid even back in 1992.
So... thoughts, please. A worthy successor to the McLaren F1?

One of the Grant Parish teenagers arrested Thursday night in connection with a red pickup truck driving through downtown Alexandria with nooses tied to it was released on bond from the Rapides Parish jail Friday morning.
Jeremiah Munsen, 18 of Colfax, had his bond set at $1,670 after being charged with driving while intoxicated, inciting to riot and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile, according to an Alexandria Police Department report.
Munsen and a 16-year-old from Dry Prong were stopped by police after complaints from a group of "Jena Six" protesters from Tennessee who saw the truck displaying the nooses as they were waiting to board a charter bus to leave Alexandria at around 9:30 p.m., police said.
The 16-year-old was also charged with underage drinking and probation violation. He is being held in Renaissance Home for Youth, police said.

Palm's shares are trading higher today based on iffy reports that Nokia (NYSE: NOK) may be interested in buying the company, reports Reuters. During late afternoon trading, Palm's stock was up 90 cents, or about 8 percent, to trade at $12.37.
The stock is also likely up due to the fact that Palm (NSDQ: PALM) is two days away from launching the Pixi, its second phone based on the new webOS operating system. Frederic Ruffy, option strategist at WhatsTrading.com, told Reuters: "Palm shares jumped and its call volume surged to nine times their normal level as more than 80,000 call contracts traded by midday on renewed takeover speculation." In the past, Palm has been rumored to be a buy-out by Dell and other companies. All Things D's John Paczkowski calls the speculation that Nokia will buy Palm silly, and asks "does the company really need another software platform in addition to Symbian, Maemo and Qt? C

Energy Risk & Baringa Partners invite you to participate in a landmark survey on European market coupling
Energy Risk, in association with Baringa Partners, invites you to participate in a landmark survey on European market coupling.
The survey is aimed at anyone with an interest in European market coupling, including integrated utilities, portfolio generators, banks, commodity traders, governments, regulators and transmission system operators.
A July 2013 study for the European Commission put the potential Europe-wide benefits of coupling at €2.5 billion to €4 billion ($3.5 billion to $5.5 billion) per year, once coupling is fully implemented.
While many market participants have already operated under market coupling, others are about to gain their first experience of this critical Europe-wide initiative. Although the focus so far has predominantly been on day-ahead electricity markets, it is expected this will increasingly shift to intra-day and balancing markets during the next five years.
On this basis, Energy Risk and Baringa believe it is timely to ask: "Is market coupling a game-changer?"
The survey examines four main areas, including market impacts; market readiness; business impacts; and business readiness.
Please click here to respond to the survey.
The survey should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete and all responses will be treated in the strictest of confidence. In return for your participation, you will have the opportunity to receive a free trial to Energy Risk and enter a draw to win a special prize. You will also receive a link to the survey report once it is complete.
The survey will close on February 18, 2014.

Stability of Alexithymia and Its Relationships with the 'Big Five' Factors, Temperament, Character, and Attachment StylePicardi A.a · Toni A.b · Caroppo E.c

Background: Controversy still exists concerning the stability of the alexithymia construct. Also, although alexithymia has been found to be related in a theoretically meaningful way to other personality constructs such as the 'Big Five' factors, few studies have investigated its relationship with influential constructs such as temperament and character, and attachment security. Methods: Two hundred twenty-one undergraduate and graduate students were administered the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Zung Depression Scale (ZDS), the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI-125), the Big Five Questionnaire (BFQ), and the Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) questionnaire. After 1 month, 115 participants completed again the TAS-20, STAI, and ZDS. Results: Alexithymia was only moderately correlated with depression and anxiety. Both the absolute and relative stability of TAS-20 total and subscale scores was high, and a negligible portion of their change over time was accounted for by changes in depression or anxiety. In separate multiple regression models including also gender, age, depression and anxiety, TAS-20 total and subscale scores were correlated with low energy/extraversion, low emotional stability, openness, low friendliness/agreeableness; harm avoidance, low self-directedness, low cooperativeness, low reward dependence; attachment-related avoidance and anxiety. Conclusions: Our findings lend support for both absolute and relative stability of alexithymia, corroborate an association between alexithymia and insecure attachment, and contribute to a coherent placing of alexithymia in the broader theoretical network of personality constructs.

Excerpt from Judgments:
New South Wales -
14 June 2013 - King v Western Sydney Local Health Network [2013] NSWCA 162 -
The appellant developed foetal varicella syndrome (FVS) after her mother contracted varicella in the second trimester of her pregnancy. The syndrome caused severe physical and intellectual disability. The mother had not suffered from chickenpox before so should have been offered a dose of varicella-zoster immunoglobulin (VZIG), in accordance with the standard medical practice in 2002, to boost her defences to the virus.
It was accepted that the respondent owed a duty of care to the appellant to advise her mother of the availability of VZIG for treatment following her exposure to chickenpox and that the respondent breached that duty in failing to prescribe VZIG. The issue on appeal was the trial judge's determination that, on the balance of probabilities, causation had not been established.
The Court stated that to establish causation, it was necessary for the appellant to establish that:
- Her mother had contracted chickenpox within 96 hours of visiting the hospital
- Her mother would have chosen to have VZIG administered had it been offered to her; and
- That administration of the drug to her mother would have prevented the appellant from contracting FVS as a result of her mother's chickenpox.
The Court found that not giving the mother VZIG at most prevented the very small statistical risk of the appellant contracting FVS from minutely decreasing; "[i]t did not cause the appellant's injury." The Court held that the failure to administer VZIG did not materially contribute to the appellant's risk of suffering FVS, and the appeal was dismissed.

With those words Spock chose to die in order to save the rest of the crew. Philosophically whether you agree to what Spock said or not, an important part of the lesson was that Spock chose to act the way he did...he exercised choice.
Sometimes developers inadvertantly do not offer as much choice to their customers as they should. For example, when we choose not to engineer and offer a clean upgrade path to a new version of a program or distribution.
Many years ago I helped design a new "update" facility for Digital's Ultrix operating system. This procedure allowed customers to simply install the system without having to:
o boot the system from tape to single user mode
o edit the configuration file for the kernel
o type in all sorts of arcane technical data about disk controllers,, serial line controllers, etc.
o rebuild the kernel
o install the kernel in place
o reboot the system
Instead, my procedure allowed the booted kernel to probe the system's bus using a DEC standard that hardware field service people followed as they installed new systems. I had actually been told by one kernel engineer that this was "impossible for Unix to do". I prototyped a solution in less than a day.
After that I was told that by a fairly savvy field service engineer that this procedure would fail because all those "crazy Unix people" ignored the DEC standard techniques of hardware placement in the bus and put the hardware controllers "everywhere and anywhere" in the bus address space, therefore negating the Digital standard.
I argued that most of the time it was DEC field service people that installed the systems and those field service engineers put the components in the right place, and why should we punish all of the people that put things in the right place just to alleviate the pain of some people that did not? I also pointed out that a lot of the existing systems sometime dual-booted VMS (this was before the days of "OpenVMS"), or were former VMS systems that were now running Unix and therefore probably had the hardware components in the "right place".
To make this field service person feel better, we changed my prototype to probe the bus, show the person installing the software what controllers were found by the process, then gave the installer an opportunity to change the configuration file to what they needed before continuing.
We received rave reviews for the new functionality. 99.99% (perhaps even higher) of the customers had standard hardware in standard places, or non-DEC hardware that followed the same standards as DEC hardware, and the customers loved the fact the system installed so easily.
Today some distributions do not work very hard at doing "updates" from one release to another. There seems to be little thought or work done to allow the customer to update their systems in place, mostly because of the perception that most customers change and tailor their Linux system, and the fear that the update would overwrite the customer's changes.
To be fair, in the past the amount of tailoring that customers do of a distribution would tend to defeat the concept of a "default" installation. Linux (and Unix) people do tend to "change their environment" by creating different file systems, different size file systems, applying different applications and storing them in different places in the file system hierarchy.
However I feel that many of today's customers use the distribution more or less "as is", with less tailoring than before, so the goal should be (in my humble opinion), to allow for customers to continuously update.
It occurs to me that by not planning for "updates" a distribution may be punishing customers that do not change the stock system in order to protect those that do. We should be designing and orchestrating Linux distributions for the 75 or 80% of people who use a "stock" system, but still allow people the choice of changing the system if they desire to do that. If we engineer a distribution for update, then perhaps even major changes can be "updated" rather than "re-installed".
Those people that choose to modify their systems outside the bounds of the engineered update may still have to "re-install", but I think it is better that only 20-25% of the customers have to re-install than 100%
Of course even with an engineered process people should still do backups before updating, and perhaps a test of the update, but if they have thousands of systems to update and they have followed the guidelines put out by the distribution, it should be easier to update those thousands of systems than to re-install them.
Don't punish the many because of the few. Engineer and develop for updates.
Carpe Diem!
I coudn't agree moreMaddog,
Well said!
Never had to re-installI guess you're talking about ubuntu there because I never had to re-install to upgrade. I'm using archlinux.
Nice article+1
I, definitely, think so.
There are Linux distributions that do this... and have been doing this for the last, what's that? 15+ years?
I have never reinstalled a Linux machine that I had also installed. Not even the ones where there was a hardware failure. The closest I got to reinstalled was restoring from backups to a new hard disk.
My record was a machine in the 90's that started with parts ABCD and after some years had WXYZ, meaning, everything had been replaced, including the hard drives. Parts were switched, machine was brought back online and everything kept running as usual.

What is cardiac catheterization? Cardiac catheterization is a diagnostic study that provides valuable insight into the anatomy of the arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood.
It allows doctors to see if blockages exist in the critical vessels involved in heart attacks.
What are the benefits? The cardiac catheterization procedure helps providers guide their patients through potential options of therapy, which include risk factor (diabetes, hypertension, tobacco abuse, obesity, etc.) modification, medical therapy, angioplasty, stents and sometimes bypass surgery.
What should I expect before the procedure? Our staff calls patients the day before their scheduled procedure to answer any questions.
Patients with concerns or questions about the procedure should call the lab at (207) 621-7200.
Patients are asked not to eat or drink anything after midnight the day before their procedure.
They are instructed to take regularly scheduled medications, unless directed otherwise, and to bring a list of their current medications to the hospital when they arrive for the procedure.
Patients must arrange for someone to drive them home as they are not allowed to drive themselves.
About an hour beforehand, patients often are given a mild sedative which allows them to remain awake but relaxed during the procedure.
The patient will be moved onto the X-ray table where EKG electrodes and other equipment will be attached.
Depending on the access site for the cath - groin or radial cath - the site will be cleaned with antiseptic solution and covered with sterile drapes before the doctor injects numbing medication.
How is the procedure done? After the sedating medication has taken effect, the doctor makes a small puncture to insert the catheter into the patient's blood vessel.
A blood vessel in either the groin or arm will be used. The catheter is guided into the heart vessel, where dye is then injected into the coronary arteries.
X-ray pictures are taken to help the physician make a diagnosis.
Dye also can be injected into the heart's pumping chamber to evaluate how well the heart is pumping and how well the valves are working.
Patients may feel some warmth or flushing after the dye injections; but this is to be expected with this procedure.
The entire time patients are in the cath lab will be about one hour.
Patients should let their doctor know if they experience any chest pain, dizziness, numbness, tingling or shortness of breath during the procedure.
What should I expect after the procedure? Once the catheterization is complete, the patient is moved back to the room where the tube in the groin will be removed. Firm pressure will be applied to the area for 20 minutes.
If the radial site is accessed, a compression device will be in place from between 45 minutes to two hours, depending on the medications the patient is on.
If you experience faintness, dizziness, cold hands or feet, please let the staff know.
If you have the heart cath via the groin, it is necessary for you to lie flat in bed for four hours following your catheterization to allow the puncture site to heal properly.
Patients who have the heart cath via the radial site are able to get out of bed as soon as the sedatives wear off. Recovery from a heart cath via the radial artery typically takes two to three hours.
During this time, your nurse will be checking the site frequently for bleeding.
Your pulse and blood pressure will be monitored frequently as well. You will be given something to eat and drink as soon as possible after your procedure.

Man pleads guilty to murder in death of local firefighter
A Spottsville man pleaded guilty Friday to two counts of murder in connection with a Valentine's Day vehicle collision which killed two people, one of whom was an off-duty Henderson firefighter.
Albert David Williams, 59, entered the plea in Henderson Circuit Court.
In addition to the two murder charges, Williams pleaded guilty to one count of driving under the influence (third offense, aggravated).
Williams is accused in the deaths of Henderson firefighter Jonathan Coomes, 29, and a passenger in Williams' vehicle, Michael Pritchett, 56, of Baskett.
The accident occurred on U.S. 60 around 5:20 p.m. Feb. 14 when the 2006 Dodge Ram truck driven by Williams crossed into the path of Coomes' 1989 GMC Sierra truck, authorities said.
Evidence at the scene indicated Coomes tried to avoid the collision, but was unable to get out of the way of Williams' truck, officials said.
Coomes was pronounced dead at the scene.
Pritchett died more than two months later, on April 22, from injuries he suffered in the collision.
The Commonwealth's Attorney's Office has recommended that Williams receive 25 years on each charge of murder and 365 days for the DUI offense. Prosecutors have also recommended that the sentences run concurrently.
Formal sentencing is set for Oct. 22.

CANASTOTA, NY - If you or I were treated this way, we would cry. Jesus, the King of
King and Lords of Lords, is treated that way day after day by many who
claim to be Catholic. Yet, so great is His love for us that He chooses
to remain locked in the tabernacles of His churches, day after day,
waiting for us to acknowledge His presence among us, to visit and speak
to Him, and to ask for His help.
He too must have recently cried. I'll tell you why.
A man entered a Catholic church to spend some quiet time in the soothing loving presence of His Lord. He was the only one there. He kneeled and prayerfully pleaded with Him to protect and heal his granddaughter and return peace to her young but troubled heart. The silence, solitude and flickering candles brought peace to his heart as this man gazed upon his imprisoned Lord.
Light a virtual prayer candle...right now
This consoling silence was short-lived, however, as one parent after another arrived to pick up their elementary school age children from religious education class. It was not too long before this quiet and sacred place was filled with the din of loud adult voices discussing the burning issues of parenthood, politics and current economic challenges - no matter that their Lord was just a few feet in front of them; no matter the presence of a man obviously attempting to pray.
This man saw no visible evidence in the actions of these adults that any of them really believed that Jesus Christ was really, truly and substantially present, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Sacred Eucharist reserved in the Church's tabernacle or that any of them even thought this would be an appropriate time for them to silently pray. As their children began to filter into the Church from the parish hall, bedlam followed them and the last vestiges of sacredness vanished, save for the one sole man sitting and silently praying, determined to offer good example. Maybe he should have spoken to these parents and their children. How will they learn if no one teaches or corrects them? No one did.
The conduct this man observed must not occur in the presence of such a loving God. It happened not only on this one occasion but happens every day in far too many of our Catholic parishes. These disrespectful behaviors will continue to occur so long as a majority of Catholics no longer believe that Christ is really, truly and substantially present in the Eucharist.
Catholic Churches are intended to be sacred places - different from all other structures in which we spend time - a silent prayerful oasis of quiet, comfort, solace and grace. The stark reality that we have lost that sense and our belief in the Real Presence, is enough to make Our Lord cry.
We must insist on reverent silence in our Churches. Hard to believe but we must re-teach this fundamental truth. Our every action while within our Church buildings must evidence our belief that we are in a sacred place and in the presence of God - otherwise the rest of what we teach or do in Church will be for naught.
It would be so easy to correct this tragic situation if our priests would remind us at Sunday Mass as to the proper way to conduct ourselves while in this sacred place and the reasons for doing so. Their instruction and example can be lovingly reinforced by conspicuously posting a reminder at all entrances that "Silence is the reverent language spoken here".
So why don't they?
Their failure to do so makes this grown man cry,
Truth be told, most of those tears flow from this man's own failure to speak up and the sad truth that he does not always refrain from idle chatter himself.
Lord increase our belief!
A blog through which I promote zeal for the salvation of souls, awe and amazement for the Holy Eucharist and Eucharistic Adoration, and fidelity to the Truths of our Catholic Faith.

Here comes the cold!
Sunday, 25 Mar 12 Rainy 19°C / 66°F
I'm very glad indeed that I've only got one flat in the pop-up greenhouse, as it will temporarily need to shelter in the house (probably on the living room table). Luckily, the goji seedling graciously puts up with getting moved around, so will not mind returning to the "hot" greenhouse (attached to the house, receives warm air at night via the air exchange with the house).
Tomorrow night should be 22°F! I know, I've done a fair bit of complaining about the early heat, but I'm not quite ready for that level of chill right now. Here's to hoping that my fellow gardeners in the affected area don't lose any early bloomers. I'm off to load up the wood stove. Brr!

It comes as no surprise that Khloe Kardashian-Odom is a huge support of her husband. After moving back to LA Khloe is determined to help hubby, Lamar get back into the NBA, and as a result, has lost 10 kilos.
"My husband is working out four to six hours a day right now, so I work out with him," Khloe tells Life & Style. "We'll do outside workouts and inside workouts. We're always switching it up, so it's fun."
Khloe may have started exercising to support her husband's career, but the brunette beauty has also been reaping the benefits. Nutritional expert Elena Michaels estimates Khloe has already lost 10 kilos in 20 days!
"She looks like she's now 155 (70Kgs) pounds," Elana says. "You can see it in her cheekbones and jawline, and her legs are much slimmer."
Khloe has openly struggled with her weight and body image for years, and mum Kris Jenner has only made her feel more insecure.
"She'll say, 'Oh, you're a little too fat right now,'" Khloe revealed.
While Khloe may not agree with her mum's tough-love approach, she admits she has an unhealthy relationship with food.
"I'm just an emotional eater," she confessed. "Whenever I go through something, I gain weight."
Now that Khloe is back in LA and things are looking up with Lamar's career (he's currently training for the London Olympics), the brunette bombshell is swapping Dallas comfort food for sensible salads.
"She eats mostly fresh fruits and vegetables, with small amounts of lean proteins like fish and chicken," says Robbie Davis, who's been training both Khloe and Lamar.
"She trains like an athlete when she's with us, even doing weight training. We also run the canyons surrounding their house. Plus she does pilates and stair-running on her own."
Khloe's body isn't the only thing on the upswing. Since pulling the plug on filming another season of Khloe & Lamar, the couple's relationship has also improved.
"They are just so happy," Kris beamed.

Two, there is almost nothing in the rumors/rumblings that says that the scaled down box is not >1. The mini isn't 1 (or zero). The iMac isn't 1 (or zero). The probability that the box more expensive than either one of those has less storage devices is pretty small. It doesn't even follow Apple design constraints for Macs.
The super handwaving on this front seems to be largely driven by mapping MBP evolution onto the Mac Pro. That is just looney-tunes. I don't think even think Apple is drinking that kind of Cupertino kool-aid. It is a completely different category. It would make almost as much sense to map the Mac Pro design constraints onto an iPad. Apple is trying to turn the Mac Pro into a laptop? Bull droppings.
The other set of hand waving is folks trying to mutate the Mac Pro into an iMac or Mini they like better ( warp the Mac Pro into "headless iMac" or "super mini"). Again why? Apple's got iMacs and mini class Macs in the line up. Those are not Apple motivations or design constraints.
Empty slots ... sure Apple may nuke those (at the very least the probably now vestigial 5.25" one(s)) . Wouldn't be surprising. Reduce the number to < 2.... sure has not done it on the other desktop Macs. In fact, Apple has made a big deal about "Fusion Drive". Why on Earth would that now want to incapacitate that?????? Where is the source for the motivation??????
None of those is likely to primarily guide Apple's choices because they aren't guided by aggregates of people (i.e., markets) and what those groups are doing.

The MacBook Pro is a portable workstation > over the years it has become more powerful, thinner and more portable.
Using the same logic, the Mac Pro is a powerful fixed workstation > it should become more powerful, flexible and expandable.
Fingers crossed for a good 2013 WWDC!

If we're then relegated to stuff all our drives into a box and run it through a TBird controller, we're getting worse performance and ultimately a larger footprint on our desk at a much higher cost than having internal drives hooked directly to the on-board Sata Controller (thanks Apple!).
There is a $300 consumer ASUS motherboard with TEN Sata ports, all of which are 6gbps hot-swappable and can be converted to ESATA with a simple adapter, subtracting no performance at almost no additional cost. This is what professionals want. You can't get better performance than that. Oh, by the way, it has 2 thunderbolts too.... For $2500, why the heck not?

My 2 cents: I'm starting to highly doubt we'll see an update at WWDC. But maybe I'll be surprised.
|Jun 8, 2013, 08:34 PM
What is the basis for your argument that you highly doubt we will see an update? Possibly we will, but will it even be a Mac Pro? Tim's email was not very specific at saying for sure it will be a new Mac Pro. For all we know it could be a piece of PRO software for the current machines and future machines(think MacBook Pro and iMac here), or it could be a machine that is not expandable and offers no upgrade path whatsoever.
Given Apple's current direction towards consumer and prosumer, I expect to see some kind of machine but the Mac Pro as we know it will cease to exist, replaced by some hybrid between iMac and Mac Mini..
I only hope I am wrong and so are you.. I am 50/50 undecided since little hardcore evidence is available to suggest a new machine.

The LaCie device is being attached to another box with its own port-multiplier overhead. First, none of that is necessary. Thunderbolt doesn't demand that. So it can't possibly be a "tax" or onerous latency layered by TB. Thunderbolt isn't going to make any possible choice of equipment work faster.
For better or worse no-one has build a JBOD Thunderbolt box yet. I'm not sure why it is taking so long. I guess because aimng for the higher end of the market were folks want to export a substantially more expensive SATA controller (e.g., RAID controller) out to the external box as opposed to the "motherboard breadth" controller like offerings.
It will cost a bit more becuse the 6 "free" ports from the chipset would have to be replicated by a discrete controller but that's isn't going to incur any latency problems. Perhaps bandwidth if stack enough SSDs on the resulting SATA network, but not latency.
We are now at a year after this article
and still no JBOD box. Perhaps folks are waiting for TB pricing to settle down and chasing higher priced, lower volume products first during this initial phase of TB adoption. Eventually they will show up.
If this was a Z77 chipset then it would be suck with just 6 Gb/s SATA ports. It is only 10 because the chipset moved up. If had to deliver 10 6b/s ports in previous version then would have paying substantially more ( either in a tradeoff in board features/space or discrete controller).
All of that is relatively independent of Thunderbolt speeds, costs, and latencies.
Enough to probably exclude in a reasonably sized box multiple high TDP cards. The focus with interactive workstations is gong to be weighted more so on the high TDP cards.
Large data storage pro break out storage boxes into separate units specialized just for storage. This whole "everything and the kitchen sink has to fit inside of one box" isn't "pro". "If all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail" isn't being a professional.
The tweaker/builder/'experiment in the basement' crowd... yes.
Spec porn chasers ... yes to those folks too. ( my box has more xxxx than yours.... it is more powerful. ).
It has subsantially less I/O bandwidth than a Xeon E5 solutions would have ( capped at x16 PCI-e v3.0 lanes versus the x40+ a E5 system would have). The all that "mega" SATA capacity is going to get bottlenecked if actually try to walk and chew gum at the same time. There is a decent layer of PCI-e switches in there to "fake the funk" to hook up all those high bandwidth PCI-e v2.0 controllers.
Throw one or two PCI-e SSD cards at it, hook up and a couple SuperSeed USB 3.0 devices, 10GbE Thunderbolt device , and fire up those 10 drives and watch it wheeze. Juggle one or two of those? sure. Do all at the same time? no.
|Jun 9, 2013, 11:17 AM
Thunderbolt RAID 0 with 6Gb/s SSDs appears to run into a bottleneck when you compare it to the SAS RAID 0 with the same 6Gb/s SSDs. I guess the 1000+MB/s theoretical bandwidth is... theoretical. - Barefeats
There's this thing called "RAID." In many arrangements, the more drives you have, the more reliable the system. Not all pros want to have this useless "Time Machine" disk that can't be used for anything other than restoration in the event of failure. 4 hard drives is okay (my point was more that I hope they don't cut them down), 6 would be better.

If Apple is moving the Mac Pro forward along the natural evolutionary infrastructure path this is the wrong time. Xeon E5 v2 is "a couple months away". 3 years "late" or 3 years and 3 months "late"... not much of a difference.
The time for Apple to "do something" in the first half of 2013 was in Jan-Feburary before they had to remove the product from the market in the EU. Now it is just more screwed than it was. So screwed up another 2-3 months is pretty much status quo.
Even if Apple was downshifting down onto Xeon E3. (dumping dual package set ups and capping the RAM expansion to iMac levels ). It is still an odd-ball time since 10.9 is due real-soon-now. It is yet-another system that would have to be short term validated on 10.8.4 (10.8.5 ?) and then flipped a couple months later to 10.9.
There is some Mac features that they'll need for WWDC demo but Mac Pro probably doesn't have any of them.
Finally, if completely changing contract manufacturors ( e.g., moving to a USA facility) then the initial product ramp probably has bugs. Fixed points in time like WWDC are bad things to coupled something like that too. ( e.g., Apple coupling the iMac to the iPad mini rollout .... not so great idea with bad outcome. I doubt Apple wants to repeat that again even if only the same general ballpark reasons. )
Most of this "it has to come at WWDC" is being driven by tying it to the speed bump last year at this time rather than any solid evidence. If look at this forums archives every year before NAB or WWDC there is a "rush" of 'Apple is going to do a big dog and pony for for Mac Pro at XXX this year". Most of the time it never happens. Really didn't happen last year either even with speed bump update.
Retail supplies hiccup from time to time on Apple products. There are not a good primary indicator of new models. ( there is no track record for that.... other than folks selectively cherry-picking the subset that do proceed. ) And even slowed doesn't make them come any faster. iMac slowed and they didn't show.

What you have provided is smoke. I'm not going to do your homework for you if all you can do is blow smoke at me.
The MB/s that is being measured isn't even salvageable here to make a decent guess at because the experiments involve sequential access. Frankly, I can't quickly think of a better way of suppressing the measurement of latency that in doing large sequential file benchmark. So not only are the units wrong the experiment is actually designed to suppress what you are waving your arms about.
In terms of measuring latency these are experiments with craptastic design.
These benchmarks measure throughput/bandwidth not latency. However, even in terms of that your full of it.
4. Thunderbolt just made Apple's Pro RAID card obsolete. ... "
Sure the card is older and has few fans here on these forums among folks who focus on RAID cards. But where is this onerous latency?
The only thing that beats the TB set up is a Highpoint RocketRaid 2770. Well that just happens to be a x8 PCI-e card. Thunderbolt is limited to x4. The Highpoint card is about 2x the throughput of the TB solution and delivers about twice the performance. I know, that is only coincidence. They can't possibly be largely driven by the difference in RAID controllers... no way. *cough*
If you put a slower SATA RAID controller on the other end of a TB connnection, TB isn't going to make it any faster. Period.
TB's relatively low latency largely is relative to the data of the much slower legacy protocols it transports. When the TB channel is 10Gb/s and FW and/or USB is less than 4Gb/s there isn't going to be a latency problem. The internals of the TB device have to respond to changes in signals and requests much faster.
None of these 10 Gb/s SATA channels are going to keep up with 10 6G/s SSD going full blast. All SATA controllers can only handle a subset of the number of lanes they support ( usually somewhere in the 50-70% zone depending upon price.)
The latency isn't even going to be driven by feet as much as the number of PCI-e swtiches have to propagate through. The real driver of latency would be putting the device as the end of 6 TB device chain. That might boost latency to perhaps being close to the same order of magnitude.

The size criteria in minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy
1 Department of Surgery "Francesco Durante", University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy
2 Department of Experimental Medicine and Pathology, Chair of Endocrinology, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy
3 Department of Clinical Sciences, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy
BMC Surgery 2007, 7:2 doi:10.1186/1471-2482-7-2Published: 25 January 2007
Thyroid size is a very important criteria of MIVAT exclusion because the working space provided by the technique is limited.
The aim of this work has been to verify the suitability of MIVAT and its applicability in clinical practice, not only in patients with a thyroid volume up to 25 ml but also in patients with a thyroid volume included from 25 to 50 ml.
From January 2003 to February 2006, 33 patients have been selected for MIVAT. A completely gasless procedure was carried out through a central 20 to 35 mm skin incision performed "high" between the cricoid and jugular notch.
The patients were separated in 2 groups. The first group (less than 25 ml) included 23 patients, the second group (from 25 to 50 ml) included 10 patients. The skin incision performed was from 20 to 25 mm (mean 23.61 mm ± 1.83) long in the first group and from 25 to 35 mm (mean 27.8 mm ± 2.20) long in the second one; this difference is significant (t test p < 0.001).
Our study suggest that the MIVAT using for thyroids bigger than 25 ml and up to 50 ml in volume is feasible and safe. This way allows more patients, excluded before, to take the advantages of minimally invasive approach.

THE GOOD: Houston's OffenseThe Texans scored just one touchdown in Saturday's game, but scored on five different possessions. That tells us that Houston moved the ball consistently all day, and stuck to its game plan: giving the ball to #23. Arian Foster ran for 140 yards on 32 carries, and scored the only offensive touchdown in the game. He also added eight grabs for 34 yards.While Matt Schaub wasn't overly impressive, he was certainly good enough, playing an efficient game. Schaub completed 29 of his 38 passes for 268 yards. Matt did throw a pick-six, which is the only reason this game was close at all. But Schaub proved his worth in the clutch. He made a lot of good decisions, and 13 of his completions went for first downs. He also completed a game-sealing pass to Garrett Graham on 3rd down. The Houston Texans got back to doing exactly what they do on Saturday. If the Texans execute their offense going forward, no one will stop them. That includes the New England Patrio...

Seven-goal outburst moves Wolves closer to playoffs
ROSEMONT, Ill. – The Chicago Wolves stacked up five third-period goals to squelch a Lake Erie rally and earn a crucial 7-3 victory on Tuesday night at Allstate Arena.
Tale of the Tape: April 7
While they could not overcome the Stars, the Wolves look to break a different team-specific drought tonight as they face Lake Erie. After going 12-1-1-0 from the 2011-12 season through October of 2014-15, Chicago has dropped the last five games to the Monsters, four of them by just one goal. Lake Erie has won just twice at Allstate Arena: Jan. 14, 2012, a 5-3 decision, and Jan. 16, 2015, a 5-1 decision.
Wolves Weekly Press Notes for April 7
The Chicago Wolves enter the second-to-last week of the season with a league-high seven games remaining and magic number of 11 to secure a postseason berth. Following big wins in Toronto and Hamilton last week, both teams that are fighting for one of the final seeds, the Wolves saw their seven-game win streak snapped at the hands of the Texas Stars on Saturday. The team has the chance to rebound quickly as they host Lake Erie tonight before closing out the season with Friday/Saturday/Sunday three-in-three sets this weekend and next. Chicago (79 points/69 games) leads a group of six squads battling for the No. 7 and 8 positions in the Western Conference, with Milwaukee (79/71), Hamilton (76/70), Toronto (75/69), Adirondack (74/69), and Lake Erie (74/69) still in contention.
Wolves' streak ends at seven
ROSEMONT, Ill. – The Chicago Wolves' seven-game winning streak came to a halt as the Texas Stars posted a 6-2 victory Saturday night at Allstate Arena.
Week In Pictures
This week in pictures features photos from the games against Milwauke and Iowa, and the game in Toronto.
Tale of the Tape: April 4
Two seven-game streaks collide tonight as the Chicago Wolves host the Texas Stars for the final time in the regular season. The Wolves carry a season-high seven-game winning streak into the tilt while the Stars hold a seven-game winning streak against Chicago. The last time the Wolves defeated the Stars was on March 5, 2013, and the team is on the brink of back-to-back season series sweeps.
Tale of the Tape: April 2
The Wolves have enjoyed tremendous regular-season success in Ontario over the last four-plus seasons. Including Wednesday's win, Chicago owns a 5-1-0-0 mark at Toronto and a 5-0-0-0 record at Hamilton heading into the team's final regular-season appearance at Copps Coliseum.
The Chicago Wolves are proud to announce that right wing Shane Harper has been named the team's winner of the IOA/American Specialty AHL Man of the Year award for his outstanding contributions to the Chicago community during the 2014-15 season.
Wolves trump Bulldogs on Paajarvi's 4-point night
HAMILTON, Ont. --- Left wing Magnus Paajarvi posted four points as the Chicago Wolves extended their season-high winning streak to seven games with a 4-2 triumph over the Hamilton Bulldogs on Thursday night at the FirstOntario Centre.
Wolves playoff tickets on sale at 11 a.m. Friday

Ateneo stuns La Salle to take UAAP women's volley finals opener
More News from Celest R. Flores
More News from INQUIRER.net
Video by RYAN LEAGOGO/INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — Ateneo dented La Salle's perfect record with a stunning 17-25, 25-23, 25-13, 25-20 triumph in the opener of the UAAP season 76 women's volleyball finals Wednesday.
The Lady Eagles stretched their winning streak to eight, the longest in the team's history as they snapped the Lady Spikers' own winning streak at 30 in more than a year.
"Coach Tai reminded us, "heart strong," that we can do it. So that's was our mindset, that we're good players and we can defeat them," said rookie Michelle Morente, who led Ateneo with 17 points.
The Lady Eagles didn't even need a backbreaking effort from star Alyssa Valdez, who had a quiet 16 points, as other players like Amy Ahomiro and Alyssa De Jesus contributed to to the win.
Ahomiro also had 16 points as she helped sustain the Lady Eagles' run in the pivotal third set, while the diminutive yet high-leaping De Jesus added 12 in a quality performance for Ateneo.
After the second set comeback, Ateneo carried the momentum into the third set and built a 10-point lead, 21-10, which La Salle couldn't overcome.
Errors and poor coverage proved to be the Lady Archers undoing as they gave away as much as 11 points in the second set, and managed only four attack points in the third.
La Salle sprung back to life late in the fourth set, closing in at 21-20, on a hit by Cyd Demecillo but that was the last the Lady Spikers would score as Ateneo racked up the next four points.
Demecillo finished with 16 points for La Salle, Ara Galang added 13 and Aby Maraño, 10.
Ateneo, though, still has to win two more times to topple La Salle, which came into the finals with a thrice-to-beat advantage.
Game 2 is on Saturday at the Araneta Coliseum.
