4. Iowa: 73
5. Cornell: 65
Sadly I can't see where Cornell would have scratched out 8.5 more points from what their line up looked like.
Dake picking up a couple pins like the #2 all time wrestler should would get them half way there.
Nevinger not getting upset in his first round plus scoring one more point in his last match gets them to 6 (although losing up top let him wrestle more 1/2 point matches).
Villalonga winning just one match (not too much to ask of someone recruited that highly, right?) gets them 0.5 or 1
Bosak trying to score a bit in his earlier matches and getting one more major gets them to 7.5 or 8.
Anyone getting a pigtail and winning, or maybe qualifying one more guy puts them over the hump. But yeah, the guys they sent scored pretty well. Tough to nitpick them to 4th place.
Neither the whiskey nor the Herkey got to meet the water this year.
Sadly, Cornell needed one more AA and 8.5 more points to win the bet.
It was too close for comfort though. I was a little nervous about it cause that river is cold right now. Woulda been nice to see where Telford would have finished. I had Garrett on my fantasy team all year and followed him pretty closely this year. It was fun to watcch him get third, even if he did have to beat McDonough to do it. Ughh, McDonough. I feel ya man.
And, teh crown did meet the water a couple of times.

This was a phenomenal place to spend time. Surrounded by the beauty of the mountains and the warmth of the people, I was filled with a sense of peace and belonging. I was taken in and treated as one of the family. Grace and George went out of their way to make me feel comfortable.
There were a variety of things in which to be involved, as this is a working ranch. The goats were an enjoyable treat as were all the animals, including dogs, cats, horses and chickens.
I was given my first weaving lesson here and went home with my accomplishments. Grace is a wonderful and patient teacher.
I loved it so much that I am already planning on returning. I hated leaving and cannot return soon enough.
I stayed with George and Grace for almost a month in their casita on their organic farm in Guanajuato state. I really loved the time I spent there. They are great hosts and now they have become great friends too. They are so kind, approachable, helpful, skilful and knowledgeable about so many things. They have a vast selection of very interesting English language books they are happy to share with you during your stay and Grace is always surprising and delighting me with her concoctions: green tomato chutneys, ginger candies, soaps etc. as well as their amazing homemade breads which have become a firm favourite of mine. And all organic!
They are lots of friendly dogs there to keep you company and one even kept guard outside my casita most nights. The casita itself is very comfortable and feels cosy and it has all you need to make your stay comfortable.
The farm is very quiet and out of the way while still being so close to San Miguel, Querétaro and Celaya.
It's a great place to get away from it all and relax and unwind, to get back to basics, to get in touch with nature and all that is natural, and to recharge your batteries.
I heartily recommend that you spend some quality time there.
I loved staying in the "Casita" at Grace and George's. They were such wonderful hosts and the fresh organic (most grown on site) was wonderful. Can't say enough good things about the homemade goat cheese. And one of the best things was that I was able to sleep like a baby every night. With no worries about getting up early, I was able to truly relax and have a great vacation. Thanks so much Grace and George.

Hold Screen ON: Face detection
By other words, this app works like a Samsung Galaxy S3 Smart Stay feature but can detects eyes too.
* Compatibility mode: can run on almost all android devices
* Run in background
* Face detection
* Eyes detection
* Do not runs when screen goes off
* Application binding: you can choose behaviour for individual application
* When service or preview window is active, you can see a single dot (which can have different color and brightness) at the top right corner of the desktop, just behind the time. It is normal. It is a one and only possible one way to grab content from the camera of some android devices (like HTC One, Galaxy Nexus etc).
* If your front camera have low resolution or small viewing angle, try to use eyes detection instead of face detection.
* This application uses your phone's camera only during the face scanning. By default, it is 3 frame every 5 seconds. Between these intervals, you can run any other application which can lock and use the camera. Use application binding and App Launch Widget to run selected camera-dependent app.
If you have an issue, please email firstname.lastname@example.com, or use the contact menu option from the app before leaving a negative review!
How It Works:
• Motion - The screen is kept on by motion detection of the device. Small movements are detected from you just holding the device. The screen will time out quickly when motion is not detected to save battery. Motion is ignored when the device is facing up on a horizontal surface. This allows the screen to time-out when placed face up in a moving car or on a table with vibrations.
• Proximity - The screen will time out quickly when the proximity sensor is covered, whether in motion or not. Be careful not to cover the proximity sensor while holding the phone in landscape! The screen is also kept on by waving over the proximity sensor.
• Tilt angle - The screen is optionally kept on by tilting the phone above a certain angle from flat up.
• While charging. This option may also be available in your Android's developer settings, but if you've installed a secure Exchange account, that option is no longer available. KinScreen's option will continue to work and has the option to keep the screen bright as well. This only works while the device is unlocked.
• Works in the dark unlike other apps that use the camera to detect motion.
• Battery friendly! The service is designed to be lightweight and use minimal CPU. Only sensors with the lowest power consumption are used. Sensor monitoring is disabled once the screen is off so the phone can sleep and there is no battery drain.
• Start it once and forget it! It will not interfere with in-call behaviour, games or any other apps that keep the screen on already.
• Watch what it does in real-time! The coloured motion, proximity, tilt angle, and screen fields let you know what KinScreen is doing. When screen is green, the time-out is being actively extended, when white it is timing out normally (20s), and when red it is timing out quickly (10s). Note the proximity reading may be delayed. This is for efficiency reasons.
Additional Information:
After installing, please set the device on a very stable surface, tap calibrate and wait 10s for KinScreen to automatically fine tune the motion sensitivity for your device.
Timeouts of less than 10s may not apply until 10s after the last touch.
The persistent notification is required so that the service is not killed by the system. If you would like to hide the notification, choose Toggle notification from the menu options in the app and follow the instructions. KinScreen will continue to work.
*Features available after unlocking the premium version.

Timeout Manager
With this, you will be able to set a screen timeout value for each application installed on your device.
For example, you could set a small default timeout value (15 seconds), and have your browser, games, GPS app or whatever keep screen alive for a longer or unlimited time.

AppLock Face/Voice Recognition
In just a few seconds, you can enroll both your face and voice by simply looking at your phone while speaking the passphrase at the prompts. Choose which apps you want to lock, and you're done. The next time you open one of those apps, AppLock will pop open a window looking for your face and listening for your voice to say the passphrase. As soon as AppLock recognizes that it's you, your app will open almost instantly. But everyone else is locked out!
AppLock is powered by Sensory's TrulySecure multimodal biometric authentication technology, which combines powerful speaker verification and face recognition algorithms to ensure a robust and secure experience. To learn more about Sensory and TrulySecure, please visit our website: http://www.sensory.com/products/technologies/trulysecure/
BETA RELEASE: note that this is an early release of AppLock by Sensory. Please try it out and send us feedback to email@example.com on what works and what doesn't - we'd love to hear from you.
Android 5 users - If you upgraded to Android 5 and AppLock stopped working or if you cannot enable Usage Access during enrollment, go to Settings-> Security->Apps with usage access and enable AppLock. That should fix any problems and allow you to complete enrollment.
Enrollment Instructions
We hope you find AppLock to be very intuitive and easy to use. Here are a few hints to help you get started:
* Upon opening AppLock for the first time after installation, you will be guided through the basic configuration steps with our setup wizard. Just follow the process to enroll your face and voice, select a backup authentication method, and select which apps you would like to lock, and that's it!
* During enrollment, make sure you are in a quiet and well-lit location - this will greatly enhance the accuracy.
* During enrollment you will need to look at the camera with your face clearly visible and say the passphrase "Hello, Blue Genie" three times. Please speak clearly, with brief pauses between each phrase until you see the next prompt. If the system misses any of the attempts, it will continue to prompt you until it has three valid entries.
* You will also be asked to create a backup authentication option, which can be either a pattern, PIN or password. In situations where it is too dark or too noisy to successfully authenticate yourself, you will be able to use this backup method to gain access.
If you have any further questions about AppLock or are having problems, please visit the AppLock support page below or email us at email@example.com. We'll respond quickly, usually the same day.
AppLock is the only applocker on the Play Store that allows you to use your face OR voice to protect your apps. It's a face lock and a voice lock all in one app! If it's too dark, you can use your voice to unlock your apps. If it's too noisy, you can use your face. And if you want the highest security, AppLock can be set to require that both your face and voice be authenticated before allowing access to your apps and your data. That's TrulySecure!
AppLock is 100% free and 100% ad-free - we'll never bother you with annoying ads! Install AppLock! It takes only minutes to protect the privacy of your apps and data.

FILM REVIEW: Leighton Meester, Minka Kelly Star in the Familiar, Unoriginal Tale 'The Roommate'
The Bottom Line
Innocent young college girl moves in with psycho roommate. You know the rest.
Friday, Feb. 4
Leighton Meester, Minka Kelly, Cam Gigandet, Aly Michalka, Danneel Harris, Frances Fisher, Tomas Arana, Billy Zane
The horror film, which also features "Twilight's" Cam Gigandet, is directed by Christian E. Christiansen without any distinctive style.
The sort of tepid, seemingly made-for-television thriller that will appeal only to younger audiences to whom Single White Female might as well have been made in black-and-white, The Roommate is an all-too-familiar tale of a young woman increasingly terrorized by her psycho roomie. Managing nary a single original idea throughout its 93-minute running time, the film does benefit from a cast of sexy young TV stars who should attract the desired female teen demographic.
Freshman small-town girl Sara (Minka Kelly, Friday Night Lights) has just settled in at her Southern California university when she encounters friendly roommate Rebecca (Leighton Meester, Gossip Girl). It isn't long before Rebecca reveals an overprotective side that is violently manifested in a Psycho-like shower attack on Sara's freewheeling friend Tracy (Aly Michalka, Hellcats).
In between classes in fashion design taught by a smarmy professor (Billy Zane) who makes such pronouncements as "the journey starts right here, right now," Sara finds a job at the local coffeehouse and starts dating hunky frat-boy drummer Steven (Cam Gigandet of Twilight and The O.C.).
It won't be hard for audiences to see where things are going when Rebecca solemnly tells Sara, "I'm here for you." Soon, anyone who threatens to get between her and her object of obsession becomes subject to Rebecca's rage, including an adorable kitten that finds itself in a clothes dryer.
It isn't until Rebecca gets the name of Sara's dead sister tattooed on her body that the apparently clueless Sara finally gets it. It all leads to the inevitable violent showdown that will seem like deja vu to anyone who's ever watched a late-night cable thriller.
Although Meester manages a few creepily intense moments in her Jennifer Jason Leigh-inspired role, the rest of the cast get by mainly on their looks, with Kelly projecting adorableness at every turn and Gigandet crinkling his eyes in suitably smoldering fashion.
Directed in utterly anonymous style by Christian E. Christiansen (an Oscar nominee for his 2007 short At Night), Roommate features the sort of discreet sex and violence guaranteed to procure the desired teen-friendly PG-13 rating.
Opened: Friday, Feb. 4 (Screen Gems)
Production: Vertigo Entertainment
Cast: Leighton Meester, Minka Kelly, Cam Gigandet, Aly Michalka, Danneel Harris, Frances Fisher, Tomas Arana, Billy Zane
Director: Christian E. Christiansen
Screenwriter: Sonny Mallhi
Producers: Doug Davison, Roy Lee
Executive producers: Beau Marks, Sonny Mallhi
Director of photography: Phil Parmet
Production designer: Jon Gary Steele
Editor: Randy Bricker
Music: John Frizzell
Costume designer: Maya Lieberman

TV sucked the life out of me: Judy Finnigan reveals how the demise of Richard and Judy three years ago turned out to be a blessing in disguise
Judy Finnigan has left her long standing TV presenter role to become an author. 'I never felt secure on television and don¿t miss it at all' she says
Judy Finnigan has moved from the TV sofa – where for 21 years she and her husband Richard Madeley conducted hundreds of interviews – to the kitchen table at home, where there are no cameras around.
That's where she sits and writes for several hours every day now she's become a bestselling author.
'I never felt secure on television and don't miss it at all,' she says. 'I didn't like being in the limelight, and at times it felt as if I was on a treadmill. TV sucked the life out of me.
'Richard still works on his TV projects because he's much more gregarious than me and loves the spotlight, but I've given all that up now.'
Her new book, Eloise, is a spooky thriller about a middle-aged woman whose best friend dies from breast cancer tragically young. It was inspired by the death of her friend Caron Keating, who lost her battle against the disease at the age of 41 in 2004.
'I got the idea for it while I was still heavily grieving for Caron,' says Judy, 64. 'I scribbled my thoughts on a scrap of paper and put it in my "to-do" box under the bed. Then, when all the daytime TV work ended, I at last had time to do some serious writing. It was more than just needing to occupy myself – I felt like something was compelling me to write it.
'I cast my mind back to the day she died, when something very odd happened. Caron always believed in angels. She'd say if you ever found a white feather in an unexpected place, it was a calling card from an angel. Richard and I used to laugh because we were sceptical.
We were on holiday in Florida when we heard Caron had died. We were out at lunch when the call came, and we drove back to our apartment, devastated. There, on the landing outside our door was a bird's white feather. But how did it get there?
The building wasn't open to the elements. It got us thinking this was a sign. I'd love to believe there's something else after death. Caron left behind a husband, Ross, and two sons aged seven and nine. She had so much to live for, yet suddenly she was gone. It was a terrible time for all of us who loved her.'
In those days Richard and Judy were the king and queen of daytime TV on ITV and Channel 4, attracting audiences of up to 2.5 million. In 2009 they made a calamitous move to digital channel Watch, where their audience on some days fell to just 11,000.
'I'm really happy having time to myself and just writing. I'm on my second novel and Richard works on the opposite side of the kitchen table on his romantic thriller'
'Richard had more followers on Twitter than our show had viewers,' says Judy. 'I'm not saying I wish I hadn't done it because we got paid a lot of money, frankly. But it was incredibly hard work, and for what? The viewers couldn't find us. So we decided to call it a day, and that gave me a chance, finally, to write my book.'
At the outset, Judy asked Caron's mother, TV and radio presenter Gloria Hunniford, for her blessing. 'Gloria is a good friend and she said she trusted me. The emotional mood for Eloise came from the grief I felt for Caron and it's set in Cornwall in all the places I used to go with her, but the rest is fiction.'
Judy Finnigan's debut novel, Eloise, is published by Sphere, priced £6.99
Judy admits, however, that she drew on herself for the protagonist, Cathy, who has disturbing dreams suggesting a mystery surrounding Eloise's death. No one believes her though, because she's suffered a nervous breakdown and depression.
'There's a lot of me in Cathy because I know what it's like to be depressed and how hard it makes you to live with when you get no joy out of life,' explains Judy. 'I had postnatal depression after having Chloe [who's now 25]. I had four lovely kids and a wonderful husband, but I was living in a thick black cloud and having panic attacks – my anxiety levels were ridiculously high.
'As soon as I was diagnosed with clinical depression and got antidepressants, I recovered fairly quickly. But I have to watch out because I'm still prone to irrational anxiety. I make sure I can rest if I've taken on too much and don't over-commit myself, whereas Richard has more mental energy and can cope with more as he tends not to get anxious.
Now I'm really happy having time to myself and just writing. I'm on my second novel and Richard works on the opposite side of the kitchen table on his romantic thriller.' Chloe has also written a book based on her experiences on ITV1's Dancing On Ice last year.
The couple have cannily kept up the most compelling feature of their daytime show, the Richard & Judy Book Club. In partnership with WH Smith, they review books and, with their stamp of approval, regularly send them to the top of the bestseller list.
Setting themselves up s critics made Judy scared she'd be particularly vulnerable to criticism when Eloise was published. 'I was terrified of people saying, "She can't write for toffee."'
She needn't have worried, as Eloise reached number seven in the bestseller list. 'A career in TV is just footprints in the sand – here today, very soon gone,' she says. 'But it's a lovely feeling to hold a book you've written, something that can't be switched off.'
Judy Finnigan's debut novel, Eloise, is published by Sphere, priced £6.99.

Wet Graveby Barbara Hambly
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In such stunning novels of crime and character as Die Upon a Kiss, Sold Down the River, and A Free Man of Color, Benjamin January tracked down killers through the sensuous, atmospheric, dangerously beautiful world of Old New Orleans. Now, in this new novel by bestselling author Barbara Hambly, he follows a trail of murder from illicit back alleys to glittering mansions to a dark place where the oldest and deadliest secrets lie buried . . .
Wet Grave
It's 1835 and the relentless glare of the late July sun has slowed New Orleans to a standstill. When Hesione LeGros--once a corsair's jeweled mistress, now a raddled hag--is found slashed to death in a shanty on the fringe of New Orleans's most lawless quarter, there are few to care. But one of them is Benjamin January, musician and teacher. He well recalls her blazing ebony beauty when she appeared, exquisitely gowned and handy with a stiletto, at a demimonde banquet years ago.
Who would want to kill this woman now--Hessy, they said, would turn a trick for a bottle of rum--had some quarrelsome "customer" decided to do away with her? Or could it be one of the sexual predators who roamed the dark and seedy streets? Or--as Benjamin comes to suspect--was her killer someone she knew, someone whose careful search of her shack suggests a cold-blooded crime? Someone whose boot left a chillingly distinctive print . . .
His inquiries at taverns, markets, and slave dances reveal little about "Hellfire Hessy" since her glory days in Barataria Bay, once the lair of gentlemen pirates. Then the murder is swept from his mind by the delivery of a crate filled with contraband rifles--and yet another telltale boot print left by its claimant. When a murder swiftly follows, Ben and Rose Vitrac, the woman he loves, fear the workings of a serpentine mind and a treacherous plot: one only they can hope to thwart in time.
All too soon they are fugitives of color in the stormy bayous and marshes of slave-stealer country, headed for smugglers' haunts and sinister plantations, where one false step could be their last toward a...Wet Grave.

good advice ;) thank you for the information
Thanks, good advice.

LLoyd, in this video he does say exactly what you say... first call 911 then take an aspirin. I think its good that there is more information given, in addition to those measures.
thanks--sent to my brother
That has to be one of the most ignorant and dangerous things I have ever seen. IF YOU ARE HAVING ANYTHING THAT EVEN REMOTELY MAKES YOU THINK HEART ATTACK CALL 911 AND TAKE THE ASPIRIN. Every second that you waste trying to decide is it or is it not will probable kill you. Except with extensive testing even the best doctors can not tell the difference between heart attack, stroke, indigestion, or.... I was born with WPW, Wolf-Parkinson-White, a short circut in the system that regulates your heart beat, 2011 I had 2 sections of my heart burned, a caridac ablation becuase it refused to beat slower than 214 times a minuet, into a family, both sides, with history of both hear attacks and strokes. Do not hesitate, do not compare symptom lists call 911.

Mall Tots at PlayRead MoreWhen preschool-age kids beg to go to the mall, it's a good bet it's not because they're anxious to shop for new socks and underwear. It likely has more to do with Mall Tots at Play, a sprawling 20,000 square foot indoor playground dedicated solely to kids age 6 and under. Tucked away inside Liberty Tree Mall, the all-weather fun zone invites tykes to scramble through crawl tunnels, descend down colorful slides, leap into the air inside bounce houses, and experience all the fun of a pretend traffic jam while riding in mini cars and trucks. Best of all, once admission is paid, families can come and go from the facility as many times as they want through the day, allowing them to take a break from the fun to go shopping or take a nap.100 Independence WayDanvers, MA US
Sun 'N Air Golf CenterRead MoreIn a day spent at Sun 'N Air Golf Center, golfers can hit nearly every shot they would encounter in the course of a normal round?all under the pressure-free auspices of a practice session. At the driving range, laser-measured targets reward precise iron play, and a target field that extends nearly 300 yards into the distance provides ample space for ripping drives. A short game practice area lets golfers hone their finesse on the green and in approach shots up to 50 yards from the pin. The center also lets golfers test their mettle at their 3-hole practice course. The trio of par 3s range from 100 to 200 yards in length, and each features four tee options to cater to golfers of all abilities. With its ample practice resources, Sun 'N Air Golf Center provides fertile training ground for golf lessons, too. Their staff of experienced instructors?including PGA pro Tim Kilcoyne, who has coached at the high-collegiate level?can assist on all aspects of the game, from hitting the ball straighter to fitting multiple golf bags into the trunk of a compact vehicle.210 Conant St.Danvers, MA US
Gold's GymRead MoreBoston North Fitness Center lures fitness fanatics of all types with an arsenal of amenities and an array of group classes. Muscles bask in a fitness oasis packed with more than 100 cardio and strength machines, express circuits, a women?s-only fitness center, and indoor racquetball and basketball courts.30 Prince StDanvers, MA US

The museum's collections and most popular attractions inlclude 10 model-train layouts, a world-renowned doll collection, vintage dollhouses, a costume and textile collection, antique toys, historic photographs, and the National Historic Register Claflin-Gerrish-Richards House.

Pooch-A-PaloozaRead MoreStarted by a passionate dog mom, Pooch-A-Palooza is a two-day outdoor event that celebrates the relationship between dogs and their owners. Pups can relax at the Pampering Spa, where groomers perform spa treatments and a rest area provides the perfect spot for a nap. Families can also walk their four-legged friends over to the Pooch Pavilion to watch trained dogs complete obstacle courses and other tricks. If they get tired of watching their pals show off, sign them up for contests such as Best Talent or Most Unique Bark. As a family-friendly event, the entertainment isn't just for dogs: there are food trucks alongside a vendor marketplace, live music, and a kids' area with inflatables, face-painting, and a rock wall. The festival raises money for PAWS New England, a local rescue organization that places neglected dogs in safe homes. PAWS will host an onsite adoption booth at the festival to help find homes for some of their furry pet friends.207 Boston StTopsfield, MA US
OptiGolf - MiddletonRead MoreOptiGolf, though absent the acreage necessary for a real golf course, still boasts some pretty impressive dimensions. The indoor studio replicates world-class golf on 14-foot HD projection screens capable of simulating everything from 300-yard drives to three-foot putts, with players using their own clubs. All nine of these simulators possesses a library of 85 championship courses. Plus they include training resources?such as video swing analysis and ball-flight tracking?,which are instrumental during private lessons conducted by director of instruction Phil Cornetta. The ping of flush drives may echo throughout the 7,000-square-foot center, but golf is not the only thing on the menu. Balls veer towards pockets on a pool table, six draft beers and top-shelf liquors wet whistles or clean sullied grooves on wedges, and free wireless Internet keeps the entire complex connected.220 S Main St.Middleton, MA US

Chipotle-Marinated Pork Tenderloin
A tenderloin is the ideal dinner for two: easy, fast and simple. And while this marinated tenderloin would be great as is with some grilled asparagus and corn on the cob, you can also transform it with the recipes that follow.
Makes: 2 servings
Active Time:
Total Time:
Nutrition Profile
Diabetes appropriate | Low calorie | Low carbohydrate | Low saturated fat | Low sodium | Heart healthy | Healthy weight | Gluten free |View Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- 1 canned chipotle chile in adobo plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce, (see Ingredient Note)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 8 ounces pork tenderloin, (see Kitchen Tip), trimmed of fat
- Combine chipotle and sauce, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper in a blender or mini food processor; blend or process until the chipotle is chopped and the mixture is relatively smooth. Pour into a sealable plastic bag, add pork and seal, squeezing out any excess air from the bag. Turn to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
- Preheat grill to high or heat a large indoor grill pan over high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade (discard marinade). Grill the pork, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally into the center of the meat registers 145° F, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.
- Ingredient Note: Chipotle chiles in adobo sauce are smoked jalapenos packed in a flavorful sauce. Find them with Mexican foods in large supermarkets.
- Kitchen Tip: One pork tenderloin typically weighs about 1 pound, enough for 4 servings. You can marinate a whole pound in the same amount of marinade used to marinate the 8 ounces in this recipe and have enough cooked tenderloin for 2 dinners (for 2 people). Or freeze half for up to 3 months.

JERUSALEM - The United Nations could soon vote to recognize a Palestinian state, but a group of United States lawmakers say such a vote would jeopardize assistance to the Palestinian Authority.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor told CBN News the Palestinian Authority risks losing a cutoff of U.S. taxpayer aid.
"Any attempt by the Palestinian Authority to either partner with Hamas as a governmental entity or as a partner, or a move to seek a declaration of an independent state in a unilateral way is unacceptable," he said. "The House of Representatives has spoken out on that issue."
GOP Rep. Kay Granger leads the Subcommittee for Foreign Aid Appropriations and said what the House can do if the P.A. takes its case to the U.N.
"If they go to the U.N. for recognition then our aid stops," she explained. "That will be the aid for 2012 and that will be over."
"Our aid is for security and keeping things as safe as possible as they go to the negotiating table for the peace," Granger added. "If they bypass the negotiating table and go to the U.N., then the president has said he'll veto it, but we will stop our funding."
Since 2008, U.S. taxpayers have supported the Palestinian Authority with at least $300 million in direct aid per year.

Buddhism with God
Norman Fischer teaches meditation in lots of places—at San Francisco Zen Center, where he was once abbot; at the Googleplex, where he teaches techies "emotional intelligence"; and at Jewish retreats, where he practices the religion of his birth and speaks of God—not something we're used to hearing from a Buddhist teacher. Fischer, one of the leading Zen teachers in the United States, tells Kate Olsen at Religion & Ethics Newsleweekly,
Buddhism in general is not committed to God or no God. It's committed to awakening. So taking this practice from Buddhism and applying it to Judaism, it's a way to go deeper into our heart, our mind, our consciousness and in a Jewish context, when you do that I think, at the bottom, you find the divine. You find God, and there's nothing in this practice nor is there anything in Buddhist or Zen thought that would deny this possibility.
The interview is worth the watch.
Fischer, whose talents are many, is an accomplished poet, author, essayist and an occasional contributor to Tricycle. Here's an excerpt from "Saved from Freezing," an article he wrote for Tricycle that, among other things, opens us to the imagination's potential to free the mind:
But imagination is tricky and wild. It does not play by the rules; it cannot be controlled or second-guessed. No surprise, then, that imagination is depicted as a goddess, a muse, who comes when she wants to and leaves without notice. From the point of view of the rationally organized world, imagination is dangerous, for it holds that world in supreme irony, as a mere backdrop for its colorful activity. No wonder Plato wanted to exclude the poets from his Republic. And no wonder religion almost always mistrusts and fears the imagination, which is forever evoking energies—sexual and creative energies—religion would just as soon forget: they are just so messy and hard to control, and they are not usually polite.
Imagination draws its energy from a confrontation with desire. It feeds off desire, transmuting and magnifying reality through desire's power. Fantasy does the opposite; it avoids desire by fleeing into a crude sort of wish-fulfillment that seems much safer. Fantasy might be teddy bears, lollipops, sexual delights, or superhero adventures; it also might be voices in one's head urging acts of outrage and mayhem. Or it might be the confused world of separation and fear we routinely live in, a threatening yet seductive world that promises us the happiness we seek when our fantasies finally become real. Imagination confronts desire directly, in all its discomfort and intensity, deepening the world right where we are. Fantasy and reality are opposing forces, but imagination and reality are not in opposition: imagination goes toward reality, shapes and evokes it.
You can read the rest of "Saved from Freezing" here.

Hi Jason,
Norman Fischer certainly isn't obsessed with theism vs. monotheism. My guess is that he is using skillful means and speaking to people in ways they understand. As for God, I don't know what Norman Fischer's understanding of this is but there doesn't seem to be anything fixed about his view. As he points out, the Buddha didn't address this question, it wasn't his concern.
So, I agree--arguing about this is useless.
People who are obsessed with the issue of theism vs. non-theism need to grow up I think. Many Buddhists are fixed on this idea of comparing "theism" and "non-theism." There is really no such thing and no such problem. I think people might be stuck on this as a way of identifying with their particular religion...I don't know. As far as God as a fixed form out there in time-space goes...there is no such thing. The Christian mystics are clear on this point as are the Sufis. Both come from apparently theistic religions. To me, "God" is just Being. All-inclusive Being. Big Mind is God's Mind. It includes the all and lives throughout the all.
God, could also be called emptiness and luminosity. It's no fixed form.
Jason Gosnell

HANNOVER, Germany, March 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei, a leading information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, announced at CeBIT 2014 that it has expanded its alliance with SAP, deepening its relationship through large-scale collaborations planned across multiple offerings and practices. Building on the foundation of collaboration, Huawei has launched the Huawei FusionCube solution for SAP HANA® to enhance its support for the in-memory computing platform. In addition, Huawei has also announced plans for further collaboration with SAP on "smart city" and bring your own device (BYOD) solutions.
"Huawei is delighted to deepen our partnership with SAP, the world leader in enterprise applications and fastest-growing database provider. Through complementing each other's strengths, we hope to bring our relationship to a whole new level," said Mr. William Xu, Chief Strategy Marketing Officer of Huawei. "The ICT industry has been facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities, enabling ICT infrastructure to gradually become a core focus of enterprises. Moving forward, Huawei will emphasize our strategy to integrate with the industry ecosystem and to continue to focus on the 'pipe' segment of Huawei's overall 'cloud, pipe, device strategy'. Through open collaboration with our strategic partners, we will continue to provide leading innovative and differentiated products and solutions, working to achieve our goal to become an optimal partner for ICT innovation."
"Huawei's in-depth experience with ICT infrastructure has complemented SAP's strengths in platform and enterprise software solutions, and has further enhanced the benefits that the SAP HANA platform provides to enterprise customers," said Alex Atzberger, chief of staff, SAP. "Going forward, we believe the partnership will create more technical synergies, helping lead to enterprise solutions that will bring even more value to enterprise customers in China, Europe, and emerging markets."
SAP HANA is the market-leading in-memory computing platform that can be deployed either as an appliance or in the cloud, and is ideally suited to run real-time analytics and applications. Huawei's ongoing commitment to innovate for optimal use of the SAP HANA platform has led to the FusionCube solution, the newest converged infrastructure solution from Huawei, which provides a scale-out solution to extend the scalability and agility of SAP HANA even further.
Highlights of the Huawei FusionCube solution for SAP HANA are follows:
- Performance: SAP HANA benefits from low latency IO to synchronize data into persistent storage. FusionCube offers 5 times less IO latency and 15 times more IO bandwidth than a leading alternative solution. SAP HANA running on FusionCube shows faster read/write, faster data loading, and faster system recovery because of its IO performance.
- Agility: FusionCube's innovative software-based storage is based on a distributed system design that enables high scalability and high IO performance. The system can scale smoothly and on-demand in dimensions including size of the memory and volume of storage.
- Simplicity: FusionCube is converged infrastructure that saves space and improves computing density. It also has a unified management interface that covers computing, storage and networking all from one interface. These features can help to reduce operational and maintenance costs by as much as 30%. The time to deploy FusionCube in the field can be days rather than months.
Huawei has been adopting a reporting system based on SAP HANA for internal inventory planning, so that time needed for generating reports could be reduced from 10 minutes to 1 minute, helping Huawei to increase cost-saving and user satisfaction. Meanwhile, after a series of rigorous proof-of-concept tests, SAP Labs China has chosen to adopt Huawei's appliance for SAP HANA for customer support, development, testing and demonstration/exhibition purposes. This is largely based on the solution's features, including high performance, scalability, reliability, as well as simplified management mechanism. Since the launch of the FushionCube solution, a number of enterprises and organizations have deployed scale applications of FushionCube in China and other parts of the world, including a leading securities company in Spain, Shanghai Maritime University and Jiangsu Branch of China Mobile in China.
Huawei and SAP have also agreed to further explore opportunities together in various areas including "smart city" and BYOD. Huawei is committed to innovations that will make smart cities a reality. This approach complements SAP® Urban Matters, an initiative to help create best-run cities by enabling effective public administration and environmental, social and economic sustainability. The construction of smart cities is a monumental task that will require the cooperation from all levels of governments, citizens, infrastructure, technology providers, among other stakeholders. For this reason, Huawei will provide innovative ICT infrastructure solutions so that partners can join in the value chain.
In the smart city domain, SAP and Huawei will work together to collaborate to develop smart city solutions for government entities and public organizations in key cities in China, Middle East, Europe, Africa and other emerging markets. Huawei will provide ICT infrastructure, like enterprise LTE system, network, server and storage, cloud computing infrastructure, contact center, video surveillance, telepresence, the hardware system for running SAP HANA, and micro data center, while SAP will provide the software and in-memory technology and other software solutions.
In the BYOD sector, Huawei will work with SAP in an effort to develop an innovative, "mobility-in-a-box" solution for the enterprise mobility market that is expected to open up a new era for BYOD. Today's enterprise mobile office needs automation, but also needs to drive new service channels and to enhance asset and logistics management. Huawei envisions a cost-effective, efficient and secure solution that will provide an anytime, anywhere professional and secure office environment on Huawei smart devices and that is expected to integrate with industry applications from SAP. Tailored to specific industry processes and needs, the solution will be designed to help ensure that companies can have their back-end management systems extended to smart devices. SAP will provide the overall mobile enterprise application platform for Huawei's AnyOffice platform. The collaboration will initially focus on the apparel and footwear, consumer packaged goods, stated-owned enterprise, and energy industries.
Working together with SAP, Huawei will seek to develop integrated and breakthrough solutions that will help address the changing needs of enterprises and industries in the continuously evolving ICT landscape.

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...
