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. ...

Seventy-nine players filed for free agency yesterday
Nov 6, 2009, 9:25 AM EDT
Seventy-nine players filed for free agency yesterday. The two teams with the most filers: the Cardinals with seven and the Dodgers with six.
For the Cardinals: Rick Ankiel, Mark DeRosa, Troy Glaus, Khalil Greene, Matt Holliday, Jason LaRue and John Smoltz. Off the top of my head in terms of "would I sign them-a-bilitiy": yes, yes, no, no, yes, no and (regretfully) no. In making that judgment I'm assuming that they'll get roughly what they're really worth as opposed to finding someone to overpay them. Ankiel could be useful if he doesn't demand too much dough. DeRosa isn't as valuable as everyone likes to think he is, but he's solid and versatile. Holliday is a no-brainer at Matt Holliday dollars but not worth the Mark Teixeira bucks his agent is allegedly seeking.
The Dodgers have the most potential free agents at 16. Six filed yesterday: Randy Wolf, Jon Garland, Eric Milton, Orlando Hudson, Ronnie Belliard and Doug Mientkiewicz. Same exercise: yes, yes, no, yes, maybe, and no. None of the yeses seem like they"ll break the bank, and all of them could prove useful to any number of teams. Wolf may make some real money, but he's a lefty, and lefties always seem to make their money.
Upside to all of this: having fewer kids around will make custody and child support negotiations easier for the McCourts.
The Dodgers have ten other potential free agents, nine of whom are Brad Ausmus, Juan Castro, Mark Loretta, Guillermo Mota, Will Ohman, Vicente Padilla, Jason Schmidt, Jim Thome, and Jeff Weaver. Outside of Padilla, I can't feature them really making an effort to keep any of those guys. Maybe Weaver. Things are always more fun when a Weaver is involved.
And then there's Manny. His decision on his option is due by November 10th. The odds of him not exercising seem extraordinarily long to the point of absurdity. Boras will probably wait until the last minute though so he can tell everyone he had heard informal expressions of interest from a half dozen teams.
Every team had players filing for free agency except the Yankees and the Phillies, who have been otherwise occupied lately, and the Reds and Pirates who, last I checked, don't have any players above the age of eight, let alone any high profile free agents.

Whoa. Eric Milton? Am I the only one who thought he'd been out of the game for 5 years?

Dude has a left arm and once threw a no-hitter. No matter how bad he sucks, there will always be someone to give him a job, I'm afraid.

About the Book
A Dad-Shaped Hole in My Heart: How God Wants to Heal the Wounds Left by Your Earthly Father
Is There a Hole in Your Heart in the Shape of Your Dad?
Every daughter knows how important "Daddy" is. And when dads disappoint us we can be profoundly affected for the rest of our lives. Whether your dad abused you, neglected you, or left you, the result is an emptiness that cries to be filled.
Using Scripture, honest testimonies, and insights shared from H. Norman Wright's many years of counseling experience, A DAD SHAPED HOLE IN YOUR HEART will point you to acceptance of your heavenly Father's love and grace to repair the damage and help you through the healing process.
Topics covered include:
Losing your father through divorce, death, or abandonment
Seeing denial for what it is --- and how it holds you back
Discovering how to improve your relationship with your dad
- Finding your real --- and perfect --- heavenly Father

53 year old man | Houston, TX, USA | Seeking women 40-52 within 50 miles
Enigmatic open book
I really LOVE to laugh, joke and tease, I hope you do too. It shouldn't be a surprise that I enjoy comedies & comedy clubs. I have a satirical view of most things. I love my coffee in the mornings and a cold drink in the evening. I have down to earth, country type values. I watch the NFL, root for the Astros, enjoy 'wuss' fishing, I like playing volleyball, visiting historical sites & museums, playing cards, board games, tending to my yard, riding my bike, the occasional video game, cooking, watching movies and attending Mass. I used to dance, swim a lot and tend my own vegetable garden - I'd like to again. I love my family, they're entertaining. We're close, but not in the 'touchy-feely' way. It's a connection of hearts and some rare trust. I am a US Army veteran. A period of my life which had a very strong influence on the person I am today. I am confident and faithful, intense and perceptive, organized (usually), and have an attention to detail that is stronger than most. I have a relatively small circle of friends and an even smaller circle of close friends. While I can have great compassion and empathy for others, I also admit to little tolerance for those who are disrespectful, lazy, bullies, or con artists... those who prey on weaker folks. I'm not much for quoting Scriptures or berating non-believers, I just try to be a good example. I know I could be a much better example, I can fall off the horse just like the next guy, but my faith is strong – I get back up and keep trying. I truly enjoy romance. I believe that life is meant to share with someone you love, one that you are deeply thankful for every day. The lady I am seeking will make me look forward to coming home from work. We are very attracted to each other. She is kind, affectionate, honest and loyal. Her love will inspire me even more to be a better man. She enjoys being playful and sensual at home, she is patient, fit, clean, has silly quirks of her own and can love me in spite of mine. She likes to hold hands and cuddle. She loves to kiss and to be kissed. She understands that a strong marriage requires daily communication and compromise and that true love between man and a woman is a sharing of the mind and soul as well as the flesh. I am here searching for her. Well, I'm pretty darn surprised that you read this far. If you contact me, be patient, I will answer - even if I do not feel we would have the right connection. If I contact you, please answer - even if you have no interest... a simple "Thank you, but I don't think we are match. Good Luck!" wouldt only take a couple of moments and it's just good manners.

Besides the list I wrote, I admire loyalty, honesty, modesty, good manners and compassion in a lady. It reminds me to strive to do more of the same myself.
For now, I play 1 game constantly. I really have too much stuff to accomplish while I have the time to worry about personal fun. When I find that special lady, my Round Tuit will happily return to the "back seat" because I'll be having fun again.

Everyone appreciates a fast and responsive UI, and Visual Studio is no exception. Extensions that run in Visual Studio play a significant role in how responsive the IDE will be for its users. Visual Studio has been evolving over the past few cycles to not only improve performance, but also responsiveness during operations that may take a while to execute, offering cancellation or the ability to run these operations in the background while you can interact with the IDE in the meantime.
IDE responsiveness during long-running operations requires these operations to be written asynchronously or off the UI thread, which can be challenging. Although it might be easy to write and maintain async code that uses the C#/VB async keyword for responsiveness during these long running operations, doing so can cause deadlocks if that async code is ever called by a method that must synchronously block until the async work has completed. For example, code as simple as this would deadlock if run on the UI thread of any GUI app:
It can be very tempting to write code such as the above so that you can call DoSomethingAsync() most of the time to provide a responsive UI, but call DoSomething() when you have to do it synchronously. In fact completing something synchronously is quite often necessary in VS to satisfy old IVs* interfaces that were not designed with async in mind. So how do you write async code that won't deadlock when it must synchronously block the UI thread?
In this post, we outline modern guidelines for Visual Studio 2013 for managed code developers writing VS extensions regarding the use of async and multi-threaded code that avoids pitfalls such as the one above. We'll start with a short history lesson in COM that may help explain why the above code deadlocks. Then we prescribe the tools and coding patterns to use to avoid these pitfalls.
See also MSDN on this topic: Managing Multiple Threads in Managed Code
With Visual Studio 2010 came the introduction of significant chunks of managed code to the Visual Studio product itself. The Visual C++ project system was the first project system to be (mostly) rewritten in (ironically) managed code. This was also the version when the text editor was rewritten in managed code. Since then Solution Explorer has been rewritten in managed code and the Javascript project system was introduced as an all-managed project system.
With that managed code came subtle but important differences in how services behaved and interacted, notwithstanding backward compatibility being a firm pillar. Relevant to this post are differences in how threading rules between components were implemented.
When everything was C++ native code, COM ensured that almost everything happened on the main STA thread (i.e. the UI thread). If code running in another apartment (e.g. a background thread) called any of these COM components the background thread would block while the call was re-issued on the main thread. This protected the COM component from having to deal with concurrent execution, but left it open to reentrancy (being invoked while in an outbound call). This technique worked whether the caller was managed (automatically) or native code (via the proxy stub that COM would generate for the caller).
When those same COM components were rewritten in managed code (C# in most cases) some of these automatic thread marshaling behaviors became less certain. For instance, if native code called the rewritten managed COM component, then it would execute on the main thread since the native caller was typically already on the main thread, or since native code calls managed code through a COM proxy the call could get marshaled. But if the caller and new service are both written in managed code, the CLR removes the COM marshaling interop boundary between the two components to improve performance. This removal of the interop boundary meant that any assurance that the managed COM service might otherwise have of always executing on the UI thread was no longer guaranteed. As a result, the conscientious managed code developer writing VS components should either write thread-safe code or be sure that every public entrypoint marshals to the UI thread explicitly before invoking any internal code to help assure thread-safety.
When everything was COM written in native code, marshaling to the UI thread was done by posting a message to the windows message queue for the main thread and then blocking the calling thread until the call completes. The main thread would pick up the message in normal course of its message pump, execute the code, and then return to the message pump. In some cases the main thread was busy, and these messages would just wait until the main thread returned to its message pump. In a few cases, this work on the main thread was actually blocking the main thread from returning to its message pump waiting for some background thread to complete its work, which in turn was blocked waiting for the main thread to do some work. This deadlock would be broken by the main thread waiting using CoWaitForMultipleHandles, which ran a filtered message pump that only processed messages with a matching "COM logical thread ID" that let it know it was related work and presumably necessary to execute to avoid deadlocks.
When managed code needs to marshal a call to the UI thread in Visual Studio, ultimately the same approach would be taken as in native code. If you're on a background thread, switching to the UI thread required adding a message to the message queue and (usually) waiting for it to be executed and handling the result. But at an actual coding level this tended to surface in either of two ways: SynchronizationContext.Post for asynchronous invocation, or relying on a truly native COM component to marshal the call to the UI thread and then call the managed code back from the new thread.
In fact one of the simplest ways of getting to the UI thread for a managed develop in VS has been to use ThreadHelper.Invoke. Internally this uses the method of calling a native COM service in order to get to the UI thread and then it invokes your delegate.
The problems start when the deadlock resolving code kicks in. The COM logical thread ID doesn't automatically propagate for managed code like it does for native code. So the VS filtered message pump doesn't know which marshaling messages to execute when the main thread is blocked in managed code in order to avoid deadlocks. So it lets them all in. Well, almost. Posted messages (in the SynchronizationContext.Post sense) don't get in, but all the "RPC" level marshaling calls do get in regardless of their actual relevance to what the main thread is waiting on.
The one or two fundamental ways to get to the UI thread notwithstanding, there were at least a dozen ways to get to the UI thread in VS (each having slightly different behaviors, priorities, reentrancy levels, etc.) This made it very difficult for code to choose which method was appropriate, and often required that the code had complete knowledge of what scenario it was called in, which made it impossible to get right when the same code executed in multiple scenarios.
Because of this nearly wide open policy for executing code from other threads, an evil we call "reentrancy" occurs when the main thread is blocked waiting for something and something unrelated from another thread jumps in and begins executing unrelated work. The main thread may have been blocked on anything (e.g. it could be a contested lock, I/O, or actually a background thread) and suddenly it's executing something completely unrelated. When that work never calls back into your component, the problem is merely annoying and can slow down your own code because it can't resume execution until the offending party gets off your callstack. But if that work eventually calls into the same component that it interrupted, the results can be devastating. Your component may be 'thread safe' in the sense that it always executes on the UI thread, but reentrancy poses another threat to your data integrity. Consider this case:
Code inspection may not suggest that this code is vulnerable to threading issues. But the call to File.Open may result in the main thread blocking. During this block an RPC call may re-enter the UI thread, and call this same method. This second execution of the method will also satisfy the file open count test and start opening a file. It will assign the result to the last element in the array, increment the field, and exit. Finally, the original call (that was interrupted) will finish its File.Open call, and then throw when assigning the result to the array since m_filesOpened is now out of bounds (beyond the last element of the array). This is remarkably similar to multi-threaded concurrency issues, but remarkably can be reproduced even though your method only ran on the UI thread, which allowed reentrancy.
Product crashes and hangs can occur due to reentrancy when code wasn't prepared for it due to the data corruption reentrancy can cause. And these symptoms often are detected long after the reentrancy has occurred, making it very difficult when you're analyzing the results of the devastation to figure out how it was introduced in the first place.
So we have two evils: deadlocks and reentrancy. Without reentrancy to the main thread we have deadlocks when the main thread is blocked on background threads that are in turn blocked on the main thread. And with reentrancy we tend to get too much reentrancy leading to corruption, crashes and hangs. As early as Dev10, VS architects would meet to discuss the current 'balance' between reentrancy and deadlocks to resolve some of the ship-blocking bugs that would plague that version of VS.
Avoiding this reentrancy involves turning two knobs: what kinds of messages are allowed through the message filter and/or the priority those messages themselves come in with. Letting fewer messages in tends to create deadlocks, whereas letting in more messages tends to create more reentrancy with their own crashes and hangs. Since adjusting the overall policy in the message filter was rife with dangers on either side, each cycle we tended to fix the major bugs by some localized code change that relied heavily on the other players' current behavior and was therefore fragile – leading to yet another meeting and code change later that cycle or in the next one.
Clearly there was a need for a systemic fix. The native COM logical thread ID was attractive but wasn't an option for managed code as far as we could see.
Opportunities to write async code within VS tended to be few and far between, since most of the time the code implemented some IVs* interface that had synchronous method signatures such that postponing the work till later isn't an option. In a very few cases (such as async project load) it was possible, but required use of the VS Task Library which was designed to work from native code rather than something that felt more C# friendly. Use of the managed-friendly TPL Tasks library that shipped with .NET 4.0 was possible in some cases, but often led to deadlocks because TPL Tasks lack of any dependency chain analysis that would avoid deadlocks with the main thread. While the VS Task Library could avoid the deadlocks, it demanded that the code be VS specific instead of being rehostable inside and outside Visual Studio.
In more recent history a new pattern emerged in code that ran in the Visual Studio process: use of the C#/VB async keyword. This keyword makes writing asynchronous code simple and expressive, but didn't work at all with the VS Task Library. Since so much code has to execute synchronously on the main thread in order to implement some IVs* interface, writing asynchronous code usually meant you'd deadlock in VS when the async Task was synchronously blocked on using Task.Wait() or Task.Result.
To solve all of these problems (deadlocks, reentrancy, and async), we are pleased to introduce the JoinableTaskFactory and related classes. "Joinable tasks" are tasks that know their dependency chain, which is calculated and updated dynamically with the natural execution of code, and can mitigate deadlocks when the UI thread blocks on their completion. They block unwanted reentrancy by turning off the message pump completely, but avoid deadlocks by knowing their own dependency chain and allowing related work in by a private channel to the UI thread. Code written with the C# async keyword also (mostly) just works unmodified, when originally invoked using the JoinableTaskFactory.
So in essence, we've finally solved the classic deadlock vs. reentrancy problem. There is now just one way we recommend to get to the UI thread that works all the time. And you can now write natural C# async code in VS components so by leveraging async we can improve responsiveness in the IDE so developers don't see so many "please wait" dialogs. Goodness.
Let's look at some concrete examples. Please note that most of these examples requires that you add a reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.Threading.dll and add the following line to your source file:
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Threading;
Notice how the method retains thread affinity across awaits of normal async methods. You can switch to the main thread and it sticks. Then you switch to a threadpool thread and it likewise sticks. If you're already on the kind of thread that your code asks to switch to, the code effectively no-ops and your method continues without yielding.
The implementation of async methods you call (such as DoSomethingAsync or SaveWorkToDiskAsync) does not impact the thread of the calling method. For example suppose in the sample above, SaveWorkToDiskAsync() was implemented to switch to the UI thread for some of its work. When SaveWorkToDiskAsync() completes its work and PerformDataAnalysisAsync() resumes execution, it will be on the same type of thread it was before, which is the threadpool in our case. This is very nice for information hiding. When writing async code, you can use whatever threads you want, and your caller needn't be aware of or impacted by it.
At this point we recommend writing async code whenever you have an opportunity to. If you're writing a method that does I/O (whether disk or network access), take advantage of .NET's async APIs. Obviously if the main thread is doing async I/O the system is more responsive because the message pump can be running while the I/O is in progress. But perhaps less obvious is why async I/O is advantageous even if you're already on a threadpool thread. The threadpool is a scarce resource too. By default the CLR only provides as many threadpool threads as the user has cores. This often means 4 threads, but can be as low as 1 or 2 on netbooks (and yes, some Visual Studio customers develop on netbooks). So blocking a threadpool thread for more than a very brief time can delay the threadpool from serving other requests, sometimes for very long periods. If the main thread, which is active while you're doing I/O on a threadpool thread, processes a message that requires use of the threadpool, you may end up being responsible for the IDE freezing up on the user because you're blocking the threadpool. If you use await whenever you can even on threadpool threads, then those threads can return to the pool during your async operation and serve these other requests, keeping the overall application responsive and your extensions acting snappy, so customers don't uninstall your extension because it degrades the IDE.
In a pure async world, you're home free just writing "async Task" methods. But what if one of your callers is not async and cannot be changed to be async? There are valid cases for this, such as when your caller is implementing a public interface that has already shipped. If you have ever tried to call an async method from a synchronous one, you may have tried forcing synchronous execution by calling Task.Wait() or Task.Result on the Task or Task<T> returned from the async method. And you probably found that it deadlocked. You can use the JoinableTaskFactory.Run method to avoid deadlocks in these cases:
The above Run method will block the calling thread until SomeOperationAsync() has completed. You can also return a value computed from the async method to your caller with Run<T>:
Calling the Run method is equivalent to calling the RunAsync method and then calling JoinableTask.Join on its result. This way, you can potentially kick off work asynchronously and then later block the UI thread if you need to while it completes.
Using the JoinableTaskFactory requires that you follow three rules in the managed code that you write:
In particular, no method is allowed to synchronously marshal work to another thread (blocking while that work is done). Synchronous blocks in general are to be avoided whenever possible.See the Appendix section for tips on identifying when this is necessary.
Note however that this extra step is not necessary when awaiting is done immediately after kicking off an asynchronous operation.In particular, no method should call .Wait() or .Result on an incomplete task.
A failure to follow any of the above rules may result in your code causing Visual Studio to deadlock. Analyzing deadlocks with the debugger when synchronous code is involved is usually pretty straightforward because there are usually two threads involved (one being the UI thread) and it's easy to see callstacks that tell the story of how it happened. When writing asynchronous code, analyzing deadlocks requires a new set of skills, which we may document in a follow-up post on this blog if there is interest.
You can read more about these and related types on MSDN:
The VS Task Library, if you're not already familiar with it, was introduced in Visual Studio 2012 in order to provide multi-threaded task scheduling to native code running in Visual Studio. This is how ASL (asynchronous solution load) was built for all the project systems that were written in native code. The VS Task Library is itself based on TPL, and the COM interfaces look very similar to the TPL public surface area. In particular, the VS Task Library is based on TPL as it was in .NET 4.0, so strictly speaking the VS library doesn't help you write asynchronous tasks using async methods. But it does let you schedule synchronous methods for execution on background threads with continuations on the main thread, thereby achieving an async-like effect, just with a bit more work.
While we're on the subject, a word of caution: even though TPL and the VS Task Library look similar, they don't always behave the same way. The VS Task Library changes the behavior of some things like cancellation and task completion in subtle but important ways. If you're already familiar with TPL, don't make assumptions about how the VS Task Library works.
One important difference between TPL and IVsTask is that if you block the main thread by calling Task.Wait() or Task.Result on an incomplete task, you'll likely deadlock. But if you call IVsTask.Wait() or IVsTask.GetResult(), VS will intelligently schedule tasks that require the UI thread to avoid deadlocks in most cases. This deadlock-resolving trait is similar to the JoinableTask.Join() method.
Suppose you need to implement a COM interface that requires your method to return an IVsTask. This is an opportunity for you to implement the method asynchronously to improve IDE responsiveness. But creating an IVsTask directly is tedious, especially when the work is actually asynchronous. Now with JoinableTaskFactory it's easy using the RunAsyncAsVsTask method. If all you have is a JoinableTask instance, you can readily port it to an IVsTask using the JoinableTask.AsVsTask() extension method. But let's look at some samples that use RunAsyncAsVsTask, as that is preferable since it supports cancellation.
What we've done here is created an IVsTask using the JoinableTaskFactory. Any work that requires the UI thread will be scheduled using background priority (which means any user input in the message queue is processed before this code starts executing on the UI thread). Several priorities are available and are described on MSDN. The cancellation token passed to the delegate is wired up to the IVsTask.Cancel() method so that if anyone calls it, you can wrap up your work and exit early.
If your async delegate calls other methods that return IVsTask, you can safely await IVsTask itself within your async delegate naturally, as shown here:
Here is a longer, commented sample so you can understand more of the execution flow:
When you're writing native code, the VS Task Library is your only option. If you're writing managed code in VS, you now have three options, each with some benefits:
To sum up, if you're writing managed code, any async or scheduled work should probably be written using C# 5 async methods, with JoinableTaskFactory.RunAsync as the root caller. This maximizes the benefit of reusable async code while mitigating deadlocks.
The JoinableTaskFactory makes asynchronous code easier to write and call for code that runs within Visual Studio. Switching to the UI thread should always be done using JoinableTaskFactory.SwitchToMainThreadAsync(). The JoinableTaskFactory should be obtained from ThreadHelper.JoinableTaskFactory.
As you use these patterns, we'd like to hear your feedback. Please add comments on this post.
It is not always obvious whether some VS API you're calling may require marshaling to the UI thread. Here is a list of types, members, or tips to help identify when you should explicitly switch to the UI thread yourself using SwitchToMainThreadAsync() before calling into VS:

Aspiring singer Rebecca Black is demonstrating the power of social media — especially when it comes to creating overnight sensations.
Indeed, the once unknown singer is today's surprise trending topic on Twitter.
Here's how it happened:
Black released her debut video "Friday" via YouTube on Feb. 10th. And, surprisingly, it's already secured a Bieber-like audience with more than two million views.
Why is Rebecca Black trending today on Twitter?
You can blame Black's notoriety on the reviews, which have been scathing. Here is just a sampling.
Gawker asked "Is this The Worst Music Video Ever?" Comments on Twitter haven't been any kinder. For example, @ellierawr tweeted, "Just herd Rebecca Black's new song, I'm now deaf."
The singer can expect to continue seeing her name trend on Twitter, especially with Tweets like this one from American Idol host Ryan Seacrest: "If ur wondering why Rebecca Black has been trending for 24 hrs, this is the video u need to see."

Thank you Tom. I wrote. I wonder if I will get a reply.
No, They won't Mom, at least I doubt it.
Been writing for years,,,,,,,,,,same ole' same ole'
they vote for their pockets, not thoughts about "We, The People"
I agree. I have written several Senators, Representatives, Governors and even a couple Presidents. Never a single reply on anything, not matter how hot the issue is.
Part of this is because as time passes we will only become more woefully underrepresented. Issues aside, the population will continue to grow and we haven't had a new seat added to the House of Representatives in a great long while. Each U.S. Rep is now supposedly speaking for about 750,000 constituents each. Senators even more.
Usually, I have gotten some sort of reply when writing elected officials -- maybe just a form letter or email, but something. Not sure if it does any good. Some of these officials will have regional offices, and you can call those offices too.
I have written Kaptur, Portman and the President and have gotten back letters from all three.
I even got two phone calls from Kaptur's office and one from Portman's
Oh, they 'hear' you loud and clear at the polls; the question is: are they 'listening'?
One of my favorites:
Back in the 90s, when the U.S. was gearing up to get involved in the Serbian Conflict, I wrote my then senatorial rep. Carol Mosely Braun (D-IL).
I stated that since this civil war had been goin' on for yrs. in NATO's backyard that it was their duty to end it. Where was our "national interest?"
In reply, I received a form letter giving me somewhat of an early 20th Century history lesson. In part, I was told that WW1 had its origins in that region and THAT is why we must get involved.
If I would have cared to reply, I might have informed her that for one, the Austro-Hungarian Empire no longer existed.
After that, I pretty much gave up ever writing again – waste of time.
"Stock answers" seem to be the norm, though I do try. Have learned when you represent a group "representatives" tend to respond. Wonder really if the individual matters any more.
Yrs. ago, I sent my then Congressional rep, the late Henry Hyde (R-IL) a letter thanking him for spearheading impeachment proceedings against Sleaze ball-in-Chief Bill Clinton.
His reply I kept.
Clinton got a BJ and burned a little grass. I hate his guts now....but I loved him then. The day he backed Barrack Hussein Hitler Obama he was dead to me.
I've gotten personal replies from a lot of republican office holders and a few canned letters from the Dems, Sherrod Brown was kind enough to thank me for "my support of Gun Control" which proves to me his secretary can't read
You guys are really dating yourselves. People actually wrote letters?

And I don't mean the New Year that falls on Jan. 1. I mean the New Year of Trees. This year, Tu B'Shevat begins at sundown on Friday, Jan. 17 and ends Saturday, Jan. 18. This week's and next week's pages will be devoted to Tu B'Shevat.
Tu B'Shevat is a time of renewal; the winter rains are falling and we sense that a period of new growth is about to begin as each day grows longer.
Many people like to celebrate the holiday with a seder, similar to the Passover seder. More about that in next week's pages.
Important Tu B'Shevat Facts:
Tu B'Shevat simply means "the 15th of Shevat" -- the Hebrew month that coincides with January/February in the western calendar.
The 15th of the Hebrew month is always the full moon, so Tu B'Shevat is the full moon of Shevat.
Tu B'Shevat is the New Year for Trees, because on the 15th of Shevat in ancient Israel the new year's crop of fruit trees were tithed (that means that one-tenth of the crop was set aside) and brought to the Temple as an offering to God and to give to the priests and to the poor. With the full moon on the 15th of Shevat, a distinction was easily made between the old crop of fruit trees and the new year's crop.
Torah Tree Test:
In this week's portion, Bo, something eats up all the fruits and greenery on the trees.
Who or what is it?
Email your answer to email@example.com and look for the winner's name on an upcoming For the Kids!
Bring a picture of our earth and nature to Camp JCA Shalom, 34342 Mulholland Highway, Malibu, this Sunday and you could win a prize in the Tu B'Shevat Art Contest.

Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
Now in their seventh generation, the all-new 911 Turbo and Turbo S variants join the roster for 2014. With some big shoes to fill, the 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S aim to reaffirm their benchmark status among the world's finest sub-exotic sports cars.
For 2013, the all-wheel-drive (AWD) Carrera 4 models (4 and 4S, in both coupe and cabriolet bodies) migrate to the new longer-wheelbase, seventh-generation platform (designated 991) introduced last year on the rear-drive Carrera models. Only the Turbo models remain on the previous (997) architecture.
The Carrera Coupe and Cabriolet and Carrera S Coupe and Cabriolet versions of the 2012 Porsche 911 bring forth numerous efficiency-focused technologies: a new electro-mechanical steering system that runs only when power boost is needed, an auto stop/start system that shuts off the engine at stoplights, a "sail" feature that allows the engine to idle when coasting downhill, and the first 7-speed manual transmission used in a passenger car.
No major changes to the Porsche 911 for 2010.
Changes made to the Porsche 911 for 2009 include modest exterior alterations and new LED-running lights. The biggest changes occur under the boot where heavily revised engines and a new twin-clutch transmission help the 911 keep pace with the march of advancing technology.
All 911 models offer a new sport bucket seat with folding backrest. The recommended service interval for oil changes is raised to 12,000 miles, while spark plug replacement is recommended every 36,000 miles.
After half a century in existence, the Porsche 911's profile is iconic and its handling has set the benchmark for a legion of rivals that range from the venerable Chevrolet Corvette to up-and-comers like the Jaguar F-Type. Over the years, Porsche has taken evolutionary vs. revolutionary steps, gradually increasing the capability and civility of this rear-engine coupe and convertible. The approach has paid off, with today's 911 boasting exceptional performance and refinement. Now encompassing nearly 20 models, the 2015 Porsche 911 selection spans from the "base" $85,000 rear-wheel-drive Carrera coupe to the nearly $200,000 Turbo S all-wheel-drive cabriolet. There are a dizzying amount of 911s to keep track of, so here's a breakdown of models and their base prices. No matter which you choose, you'll get an iconic sports car with power and provenance.
Porsche 911 Carrera $85,295
Porsche 911 Carrera 4 $92,025
Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet $97,195
Porsche 911 Carrera S $99,895

Ekiti State University at 30
Thirty years ago the government of Ondo State under Chief Michael Ajasin established Obafemi Awolowo University in Ado-Ekiti named after the illustrious Yoruba leader and nationalist by the same name. The party in government at that time was the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN). This was a party whose linear ideological ancestor was the Action Group led by the same Chief Obafemi Awolowo and adjudged the best organized political party Nigeria had ever seen which was banned by the military after the coup d'état of January 15, 1966. The Action Group was well known as the party of free Universal Primary Education. It is therefore natural for the UPN to adopt the cardinal principles of the Action Group, the most important of which was free education. By the time of the Second Republic, the idea of free education was no longer restricted to primary education, but also unrealistically to secondary and tertiary education; apparently without counting the cost.
In order to reduce what would have been an unmanageable cost, the party then decided that boarding schools in secondary schools should be abolished and that tertiary institutions to absorb the huge number of pupils from secondary schools would be created, but they would not be residential. So, ab initio, the universities that were founded by the UPN states such as Lagos State University (LASU), Ogun State University (OSU), Bendel State University in Ekpoma and Obafemi Awolowo University in Ondo State were non-residential. The reason for this was so as to maximize the use of resources for teaching and research, rather than spending huge resources on residential accommodation. This was to create problems in the future, because universities so created found it difficult to develop a university culture. To put it in popular parlance, students went through the universities, but the universities didn't go through the students. This has been the bane of these four universities since then.
The challenge before them is how to develop an appropriate university culture without residential accommodation. Classical universities in Europe and even earlier ones in Fez in Morocco and Al-Azhar in Egypt were residential universities established mostly for training clerics. All other modern universities since then have been residential institutions. Of course in modern times, city universities such as the one in New York and some of the constituent colleges of London universities are largely non-residential. But in our case, we do not have the infrastructure and buildings to accommodate non-residential universities because in London and New York, there are still residences owned either by the cities, corporations or parent bodies of the universities that provide accommodation for students.
This long preamble is designed to put in global contest the problems that confronted the administrators of these non-residential universities. The UPN meant well but there are people who would not forgive them for what they call "the destruction of well established and traditionally excellent secondary schools" such as Government College Ibadan for example, where the Late Chief Bola Ige took over their residential accommodation and turned them into various grammar schools one of which was called Apata-Ganga Grammar School. Thus, adherence to an ideological principle led to the destruction of excellent educational traditions. Of course the new universities established by the UPN did not have this kind of well established traditions to destroy. OAU in Ado-Ekiti belonging to the old Ondo State government benefitted from the services of excellent Vice Chancellors such as the Late Professor Oladapo of the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Lagos, Prof. Bodunrin of the Philosophy department of the University of Ibadan, and Prof. Akin Oyebode of the Faculty of Law at the University of Lagos. It also overtime benefitted from several distinguished Pro-Chancellors such as Prof J. F. Ade-Ajayi, the doyen of Nigerian historians and also from the experience of distinguished and foremost creative Architect, Chief Fola Alade amongst others.
Obafemi Awolowo University Ado-Ekiti right from its inception suffered from lack of adequate resources, but what it lacked in material resources, it made it up in abundant human and academic and intellectual resources. When the military government overthrew the civilian government in 1983, the new Ondo state governor Navy Commodore Bandele Otiko, an old boy of Christ School may I say, abruptly changed the name of the university from Obafemi Awolowo University to Ondo State University; presumably on the grounds that the then Ondo State could not be more catholic than the Pope and that since Ogun State University, in Ogun State the home state of Chief Awolowo did not wear the Awolowo cloak, he felt that Ondo State University should not be called Obafemi Awolowo University. The university continued as Ondo State University till 1996 when Ekiti where the university is located was created out of the Ondo State. Attempts to persuade Ondo and Ekiti states to jointly run the University failed when Ondo State established Michael Ajasin University in Akungba and the then Ondo State University seamlessly became University of Ado-Ekiti.
This was the situation until 2011 when Ekiti State legislature passed the Bill merging three Universities namely; University of Ado-Ekiti (UNAD), University of Science and Technology, Ifaki, Ekiti (USTI), and the University of Education, Ikere, Ekiti into one by creating Ekiti State University.
The university is now developing into a fully comprehensive university with such traditional faculties of Education, Humanities, Basic Sciences, Agriculture, Social and Management Sciences and other professional faculties of Engineering, Law, and Medicine. The state government is putting huge resources in the hands of the administrators of the university in order to meet the demands of a 21st Century institution. The present government unlike before allows the university to enjoy large measure of autonomy without unnecessary meddlesomeness. This can be seen in the choice of the current and new Vice Chancellor who in spite of not even applying for the job and coming from outside the existing university was searched and appointed. He has been able to find his feet quickly because his colleagues, the Council and Ekiti State Government give him freedom to operate. The challenge before the institution however, is to move from a non-residential institution to fully residential institution in a few years to come. This hopefully would be achieved through Private Public Partnership (PPP) in which companies with means and resources would be invited to develop staff and students residential accommodation on the campus. The university, supported by government would provide enabling infrastructure of water and electricity and it is our hope and prayer that anybody who goes to Ekiti State University in the next four years would witness such rapid transformation which would also redound on the development of appropriate university culture which is presently lacking in most of the non-residential universities established in the Second Republic in Lagos, Ekpoma, Ado-Ekiti and Ago-Iwoye. Ekiti State University has an advantage over most universities in Nigeria because it has a collection of excellent academics that are also patriotically committed to making Ekiti State University an excellent university reflective of Ekiti demonstrated academic and intellectual prowess established over the years by prominent Ekiti sons and daughters in existing Nigerian Universities.

Once Confined, Now Fighting to Empower Victims
Linda Argila is not what most charitable circles would consider a typical philanthropist.
In 1999, the Babylon, Long Island, native served a one-year sentence in Connecticut's Federal Correctional Institution after being convicted of harboring a criminal in 1990. The criminal was none other than Ms. Argila's boyfriend at the time, who was facing drug charges, among others. Though the relationship had fizzled after the initial 1990 allegations, Ms. Argila was nonetheless forced to face the consequences a decade later, leading to a year apart from her 10-year-old daughter.
"It was a life-shattering experience," she said. "But, after I was separated from my daughter, I knew it was my mission to work with children and families who were also torn apart."
Thus, soon after her release, Ms. Argila launched Solutions from the Heart, an event management and fund-raising company that has since raised $25 million for charities like Edwin Gould Services for Children and Families.
"It started with a toy drive, and then it became something much bigger," she said. "I learned that everything I experienced in prison gave me the tools to change my life and others' lives. My story helped inspire others to overcome their own challenges."
On Saturday, Ms. Argila, 48, will again partner with Edwin Gould Services through its STEPS to End Family Violence program and the Retreat, an East Hampton domestic violence agency, for the inaugural Challenge to Triumph Dream Extreme fund-raising retreat at East Hampton Beach.
The two-day event—which will feature a kiteboarding clinic taught by Guinness World Record Holder and nine-time World Kiteboarding Champion Kristin Boese, as well as paddle boarding, massage therapy and a dinner dance party—is expected to raise $200,000 for the two organizations. Tickets range from $250 to $1,000, while donations run the gamut from $1,000 to $25,000.
"I started kiteboarding a few years ago when my daughter, who is now 20, left for college," Ms. Argila said. "Because of the separation we had faced before when I was in prison, it was really hard for me. I realized I'm not an empty nester. Kiteboarding was a sport that really empowered me and allowed me to face those challenges. I thought it would be a perfect way to help women who are facing domestic violence issues feel empowered themselves."
Thirty supporters will take part in the kiteboarding clinic, including two women who have graduated from the STEPS to End Family Violence and the Retreat domestic violence programs. Kiteboarding resembles water skiing, but with a flat board and a kite providing propulsion.
Said Ms. Argila, "I want these women and families to live their dreams regardless of what they have been through. This event is to help them start to do that."

Defense alone can't win it for Javelinas
WEATHERFORD, Okla. -- The Bo Atterberry era as Texas A&M-Kingsville's eighth football coach began auspiciously Saturday night at Milan Stadium.
Auspiciously is a gentle way to describe it.
Defensively, the Javelinas could not have asked for much more. But a non-existent effort offensively cost them dearly in a 7-3 loss to Southwestern (Okla.) State to open the season.
"It was our first game. We've got a lot of young people. We've just got to put it together," said sophomore wide receiver J.R. Hausey, who had three catches for 42 yards, all in the drive for the Javelinas' lone score, Scott Schlebach's 22-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. "We did some good things. We had too many mistakes that's what gave them the upper hand on us."
A&M-Kingsville actually forced more turnovers than the 2-0 Bulldogs, 5-3. But the Javelinas couldn't convert on any of those miscues. They answered with Schlebach's field goal after an 80-yard scoring march early in the fourth quarter when SWO quarterback Jimmy Sangster scored on ma 3-yard run.
"We were right there in some situations offensively and we didn't come up with some plays we should have," Atterberry said. "We've just got to back to work Monday and get it done."
The Javs limited the Bulldogs to 273 yards of offense and prevented SWO from scoring six of seven times inside A&M-Kingsville territory. Besides Martinez, Rod Mosley had two interceptions.
Yet the offense struggled with freshman Kolten Thigpen and redshirt freshman David Garza at the controls. Thigpen completed seven passes in 24 attempts for 70 yards. Garza, who led the scoring march, fared better in the second half and completed seven of 13 passes for 64 yards.
"We knew coming in that the defense was going to have to set the tempo of the game. We had a true freshman starting at quarterback. We knew we needed to give him some opportunities to make some plays on offense," said junior linebacker Mike Martinez, whose first career interception thwarted SWO's first scoring threat. "We did that, we caused some turnovers. It just so happened that they caused some turnovers as well. On any Saturday night anybody can win. It just so happened they were the winners."
It was a struggle through three quarters, with neither team scoring. The Javs' defense kept denying the Bulldogs, but couldn't muster anything offensively.
"We left a lot of points on the scoreboard in the first half," SWO coach Ryan Held said. "I felt that we had to do something different after halftime. Kingsville made it very difficult for us on offense. It seemed like every play we ran there were blue shirts all around us."
The Javs still weren't out of it, regaining possession at their 34 with 2 minutes, 38 seconds remaining. They moved to midfield before Andre Morgan and Perry Carr sacked Garza on third down and then SWO forced Garza into a fourth-down incompletion.
One inclined to put a positive spin on the first half would call it a defensive battle. The numbers and events spoke otherwise, however.
The teams combined for seven turnovers four by the Bulldogs, three by the Javs. Schlebach missed two field goals one was blocked and SWO's Spenser Daniel missed one.
Thigpen and Garza were a combined 0 for 8 in passing until Thigpen connected on a 13-yard pass with Ryan Lincoln with 7:18 remaining in the first quarter, which also was the Javs' initial first down.
In addition, senior running back Raymorris Miller was knocked out of the game in the second quarter. The Javs' leading rusher a year ago with 761 yards and six touchdowns, Miller had been nursing a left ankle sprain and didn't return.
In the first half, it might have made a difference. But nothing was clicking offensively for either ballclub. Both backups, Garza for the Javs and Steve Day for the Bulldogs, had seen action by the 14:03 mark of the second quarter. Still, no points were produced despite the turnovers.
Martinez's first career pick set up the Javs at the SWO 16 on Sangster's first pass attempt. But Schlebach's 33-yard field goal try was blocked by LaKendrick Bevil.
Later, Mosley's interception of Sangster ended an SWO drive at the Javs' 14. But A&M-Kingsville managed 12 yards and a first down on six plays before punting.
On the next SWO possession, linebacker Arlen Childress, who led the Javs with nine tackles, forced a fumble from Steve Ihekona and Steve Dunigan recovered at the Javs' 49. However -- and there were a lot of howevers in this ballgame -- Ryan Richardson fumbled one play later and Desmond Baker recovered for the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs drove to the A&M-Kingsville 19, where the Javs' Anthony Bates forced a fumble from Ihekona and Clavens Charles recovered at the 15.
A&M-Kingsville was able to drive out to midfield before punting. The Bulldogs then drove to the Javs' 22 but Daniel's 39-yard field-goal try was wide left.
The Javs' Ray Hudson committed the next turnover with a fumble at midfield but the Javs held on a fourth-and-1 try by the Bulldogs when Dunigan and Martinez stopped Josh Postin for no gain at the Javs' 26.
The Bulldogs failed on two other possessions in the half, and Thigpen's lost fumble appeared to end the Javs' final chance of the half. But when a botched punt attempt by SWO returned the ball to the Javs, Schlebach had a shot at a 42-yarder as the half expired. The kick missed to the right.
