The 2014 Yank-N-Yard HIGHLIGHTS09:33
The Yank-n-Yard returns for the 17th year, hosted at Stone Age Climbing Gym's brand new 23,000 square foot facility in Albuquerque, NM. This community driven climbing competition continues to bring together the climbers of the southwest as well as providing a proving ground for climbing's elite athletes. The evolution of the Yank-n-Yard has brought many changes over it's nearly two decades of history and this year was no different. Putting our own twist on tradition, the event was themed after the Mexican holiday of Dia De Los Muertos. Painted faces filled the gym as 200+ competitors each achieved personal victories and met challenges during the youth and citizen's portion of the event. After Friday's qualifying round, the top six men and women competed for a share of the $5,000 cash purse in the finals round of the open category on Saturday. Local stars went head to head with some of the nation's strongest climbers in front of a crowd that packed the house. Needless to say, the crowd wasn't disappointed and witnessed some of the most impressive on-sights Stone Age has ever seen. The men's category was dominated by Carlo Traversi who was pursued closely by Matty Hong and Austin Geiman. The young and talented Ben Hanna, Aidan Mike and Gareth Bonn filled out the men's category. In the women's category new comers to the Yank-n-Yard Juliana Price and Emily Cole followed Abby Czajkowski who was defending her 3rd place title from 2012. Alex Johnson was able to snag several zone holds overthrowing Abby and moving into 3rd place. The real rivalry however was between Alex Puccio and Megan Mascarenas who tied in the final round. In a bold and noble gesture, Alex challenged Megan to a super final to decide a victor instead of relying on a count back to the qualifying round which would have granted her the podium. Megan capitalized on her opportunity and took 1st place, beating Alex on the super final problem. We invite you to share in the excitement of the Yank-n-Yard through this film highlighting the competition's best moments and keep an eye out for another spectacular event in 2015.+ More details

Excellent. Breakfast was delicious.
Very comfortable bed and breakfast. Natasha and Marius were very friendly and went out of their way to make sure everyone was happy - thank you. We enjoyed a wonderful 70th birthday breakfast with them. Lovely views and peaceful setting.
Excellent. Marius was very welcoming and the villa was great. Also a bonus of a very nice breakfast. Will definitely stay again.
This was a good weekend getaway from the Joburg rush. The place was warm and accomodating and the hosts made the experience worthwhile.
Staying at Villa Savanna was a dream come true. Even though it is wonderfully close to the city, as soon as we were there we sank into the country feel - we could have been miles from home. It was so relaxing and calming, with the most beautiful view and absolutely every one of our needs catered for! Thank you so much, it was perfect!

'Super-sized' broadband survey targets MyBroadband
news A community project dubbed '#MyBroadbandvReality' which aims to deliver a real-world examination of Australian broadband speeds through crowdsourced submissions has launched a massively expanded broadband survey and is taking submissions from Australians until the end of April.
Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull launched the MyBroadband website in February as the culmination of a significant study conducted by the Department of Communications into the availability and quality of broadband in Australia. The study was an election promise by the Liberal MP contained as part of the Coalition's broadband policy unveiled in April 2013 ahead of last year's Federal Election.
According to Turnbull, the report was the first of its kind to be undertaken by an Australian Government, with data drawn from all major Australian telecommunication carriers. It describes the broadband technologies available as well as the speed that can typically be achieved over each available technology platform.
However, an analysis of real-world broadband speeds quickly showed it to be significantly inaccurate. Following the launch of the site, blogger Noely Neate invited readers to submit their real-world broadband speeds to a public document online. In a very short time, the blogger had received over 800 submissions, representing Australians from all around the nation.
The vast majority of those making submissions (688 out of more then 800) were using ADSL broadband, the most popular form of broadband in Australia. Of those, analysis conducted by the group showed, most participants experienced real-life speeds more than 25 percent slower than the estimates generated by the MyBroadband site. Neate and her partners eventually submitted the data to the Senate Select Committee on the National Broadband Network (PDF).
This month Neate published several posts noting that her group had established what she described as a "super-sized" survey which would collect a vast swathe of additional data from Australians with respect to their broadband speeds.
Neate pointed out that in early April, Turnbull has ordered NBN Co to go ahead with the controversial 'Multi-Technology Mix' option for its broadband rollout, despite the fact that the cost/benefit analysis being conducted into the project will not be completed until the middle of 2014.
"Note, this was done without any sort of Cost Benefit analysis at all (something Mr Turnbull was very concerned about when in Opposition), not to mention it breaks the promise of just what we would be getting on the Coalition's broadband and of course I won't even get into the ethics as to how this decision came about, nor our purchasing of Telstra's Copper network under the advice of ex-Telstra head Mr Ziggy Switkowski?" Neate wrote.
"What is concerning is the fact that the MyBroadband site data will still be used for deciding how the rest of this infrastructure will be rolled out (I can't call it the NBN anymore as there is obviously nothing National about it)."
"The second major concern is that the Government obviously has no idea what we are actually using the Internet for, how what we currently have is barely functioning for many of us now and future projections show that we will be requiring a hell of a lot better upload AND download speeds."
The expanded survey asks Australians to submit details such as their name and location, as well as type of broadband infrastructure, official speed as listed on the Government's MyBroadband site, as well as what broadband speed they were able to obtain in reality.
In addition, the survey asks for details about how Australians actually use broadband — including options ranging from banking and accessing business and government services to working from home, sourcing entertainment and connecting with friends and family through social media and other forms of online communications.
"Sadly, the internet is too often presented in media as a 'luxury' instead of the 'utility' that it really is – it is akin to inferring that a bathroom inside your home is a 'luxury'?!" wrote Neate. "If we were to be told all of a sudden that some of our houses could have inside bathrooms, others could have thunderboxes [outback toilets] out the back, some may even have to share that very same thunderbox with the rest of the street & some would not even get that, but would have to hold on & hope it was not raining to take a pee out in the back yard, you could pretty much guarantee that 'people' would not be accepting that sort of inconvenience or disparity, just because of where they live."
"Internet usage will only increase in future, we ALL need 'stable & fast' access in our homes, businesses, schools & more… Not thunderboxes we know will need to be replaced or stop working when they get too full ;-)"
Some of Neate's concerns may be addressed by speed test functionality which has been added to the MyBroadband site since it launched, or additionally through the cost/benefit analysis and wider regulatory analysis which is being conducted into the project as a whole by a panel appointed by Turnbull in late 2013 — the 'Vertigan' Review.
Additionally, even at the launch of the MyBroadband site, Turnbull acknowledged that the data would not be 100 percent reliable, as it used indicative data based on estimate information supplied by carriers about their networks and not real-world testing data. "You may find that the service in your own address is not consistent with this, but this is the closest you can do without testing every single premise in the country," the Minister said at the time. "Without obviously perfect information, we are getting a very good handle on when broadband availability is the least."
However, the analysis conducted by Neate and her partners has already added significant information to the debate over Australia's need for faster broadband speeds, given that the data collected in the past has consistently shown the Government's data on current broadband speeds to be significantly inaccurate.
I highly recommend that all readers head over to Neate's site and fill out this survey. The '#MyBroadbandvReality' project has already shown itself capable of producing very useful datasets and I anticipate its new survey will go even further. I look forward to hearing about the results.

Turnbull will ignore or dismiss the results like nearly ever other time. Facts don't seem to get in his way, they are a mere inconvenience.
He will ignore it because the survey has heavy self-selection bias and the survey sample is small.
"the survey sample is small"
Kind of reminds me of a sample with 1 node with 1 user at 100metres.
It's okay, we ignored that too.
Yes Turnbull may ignore the data we get. Though we do try to get all data, good, bad & ugly, and we have had some limited success already where in last sessions Senator Rhiannon actually, not only mentioned out data, but also hit up Dr Switkowski in regard to getting real data of real people. http://yathink.com.au/article-display/mybroadbandvreality-achievement-unlocked-,110 So not a total waste of time :)
A number of other people have used the raw data & one group in particular also had data on future speeds that will be required. This is why we have the extra questions on the survey, to ascertain what people are using it for now and then to see how that may extrapolate out to the standard future needs. Taking into account congestion, lack of ports, the ever dodgy copper etc, yet Government alone are increasingly putting their services online, not looking good so far.
As per last last, we will put up all the graphs etc and of course make the raw data available to others who have a legitimate use for it, so even if you think you it might be a waste of time, only takes a few mins so please do it :)
Cheers Noely, doing a great job.
I've just completed the survey. Ookla said 13.17Mbps down, 0.82 up. I'll be very interested in the upload speed results… It seems to me that the government and interested business partners would like to keep the monopoly on uploads (it certainly seems tough "uploading" information to the CBN decision makers!)
Done the survey :)
According to ozspeedtest.com i get 18Mbps. According to the mybroadband site, the median for my area is 11.18Mbps, according to the speed test on the mybroadband site, i'm lucky if i get 2.91Mbps.
Something really fishy there, but hey, i'm happy to give the government crappy results like that!
I suppose one point to make there is the ozspeedtest.com site uses my ISP for the speedtest itself, i dunno what server the mybroadband site uses.
It's weird the Mybroadband test.. It's like it throttles different if you select different options at the start.. Like if I select FTTP and Work I get a different speed from if I select ADSL1/2 from Home on say Wi-Fi.
Never actually thought to try that. I'm happy if it is riddled with bugs like that though, as it means a lot of people who go there will end up giving the government worst-case data :)
"I can't call it the NBN anymore as there is obviously nothing National about it."
Call it what it is: refurbished landlines. Or should I say "gold plated" landlines :-)
Or maybe call it "new termination"
Did the test and both say I get 5.74Mbps. My suburb is fairly new so I actually get expected speeds relative to my distance from the exchange. Unfortunately, as we already know, Turnbull will not let actual proven facts get in the way of his and Abbotts vision for the technological future of this country. I can't wait to here his excuse when he is asked about AT&T going with fibre instead of FTTN as he has been boasting about when talking up his ATM (anti technology mix – appropriate considering ATM also means something no less difficult to swallow)
Unfortunately for them but I am truly thankful I do not live in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane and end up stuck on some HFC rubbish. At least I should be able to receive reasonable good speeds if and when I ever receive a CBN upgrade.
MyBroadband says I have a "median ADSL speed 0″, which I guess is true, this is South Brisbane, it's all fibre, no ADSL. The speed test gave correct results though, well except for the "latency 0″ result. Should make for some interesting results, what percentage increase in speed is that?
I wonder if Turnbull will see that "median ADSL speed 0″ and think that South Brisbane is a black spot in need of immediate correction? We do have HFC here, so they might pull out the fibre and put us all on that instead?
No, Turnbull will think no such thing. I'm sure he's smart enough to realise that FTTH ratings of "A" for Availability and Quality mean the ADSL median speed is irrelevant.
All things considered, assuming Turnbull will be smart enough to do the correct thing is probably not a safe a thing to do.
Actually, "smart enough to realise" and "do the correct thing" for CBN seems to be mutually exclusive going by current performance.
All the hard work of installing the fibre has been done long ago in South Brisbane. The correct thing to do is to switch it over to NBN, which I understand was the plan and should have been done by now (the old NBN web site used to say South Brisbane NBN would be done end of last year / beginning of this year). The most likely thing to happen is nothing, South Brisbane remains Telstra fibre. I'd not be at all surprised if South Brisbane got switched to HFC though. I'd be really pissed off, but it would not be any sort of surprise.
What I am surprised about is that while NBN was mentioned in the recent Griffith by election, I seemed to be the only one that ever mentioned South Brisbane fibre. The South Brisbane fibred area makes up a large part of the Griffith electorate.
HashTag SurveyFail!
Completely ignores the UPLOAD speed, which is one of the BIGGEST benefits of FTTN via NBN.
For the record: Fruadband site says 22.97Mbps, speedtest.net says a shade under 15Mbps (seriously folks, it rained here this week, normally I get a WHOPPING 16Mbps).
I live two blocks from the exchange, have near-perfect actual cable path, I'd have to be living IN the exchange to get the numbers claimed by Fraudband site.
But hey, this is par for the course for our Communications Minister, somebody seems to have forgotten that his communications are supposed to be truthful.
Yep, we did not include upload speeds in our survey for a few reasons,
1. Most importantly, that data is not available on MyBroadband to compare with.
2. When we tested survey on 'punters' (which we want info from) was difficult enough to explain how to just use the likes of speedtestoz, so knew that we would get very little beyond tech savvy actually supplying an Upload speed :(
For the record, Paul, Pascal & I agree with you. We all work online and know how bloody important the upload speeds are & wish we could have gotten a sizable amount of data to show how pitiful we think it is just from anecdotal evidence :(
Punters' may have troubles figuring out their speeds, but you could at least have told them to where possible get their sync rate from the modem rather than their Layer 7 download speeds.
The mBB site suggests sync rates, so your survey is not an apples to apples comparison.
Also, the survey asks what your *ADSL* median speed is – even if you have answered that you use something other than ADSL in the previous drop-down.
If you choose something other than ADSL, the survey should instead ask you to list the Quality rating supplied for your address for *that technology.*
Did the survey. Median for my area suppossed to be 12.12MBps, actual from my computer a whopping 4.9MBps. Thanks guys keep up the good work, look forward to seeing the results!!

Both Bella & Edward are cowards:( Jasper did everything but outright tell them what the other felt & neither of them will bend cause they are coward!
| csp4 chapter 12 . 8/20/2011
I'm sure that anyone that had the 'life' Bella has had would be insecure & unsure. Her situation is almost like a frozen caveman getting defrosted in the 21st century & having to learn everything. But, it still makes me want to slap her!
| csp4 chapter 11 . 8/20/2011
I'm assuming that someone without a limb would be without that limb after changed into a vampire! Never really thought about it before but it definately makes sense why Bella is still deaf.
| csp4 chapter 10 . 8/20/2011
Of course, some of the students are probably going to try getting up close & personal with Bella:(
| csp4 chapter 9 . 8/20/2011
The fact that E & B are slowly getting to know each other & slowly gaining affection toward each other has made me think. Obviously, this story doesn't include the 'instant mating that can't be ignored':) But, if vampires 'mate for eternity' but they don't have that instant compulsion, how do they stay together for eternity? Thinking as a human, the thought of staying together with anyone could be horrifying:::))) I suppose that even tho it's not instant, they are changing even if slowly. Then once it progress' to romantic love...nothing but death can break it:)
A habit she's had for over a century & a half would be very hard to break! human blood

Great chapter!

If the way Edward & Alice communicate irritate the rest of the Cullen's, then Edward & Bella will make them want to kill themselves::)) LOL LOL
Way to go Dickward:( Poor Bella's going to have to endure Edward's internal angst:(

If you were going to list the aptitudes for success as a doctor, your would definitely include having a good grasp of math and science. A keen sense of observation would also be important, since doctors need this skill every time they conduct a physical exam or review x-rays or test results. Clinicians also need the ability to gather information and evaluate it carefully in order to maketo make a diagnosis.
Doctor jobs are not just about practicing medicine, though. Anyone who is considering this career path is also going to have to make sure that he or she is comfortable with modern technology used to access medical records, conduct research, and communicate with patients. These tools help doctors deliver a higher standard of care and become better at their work.
Doctors Using Smartphones and Tablets on the Job
The face of clinical medicine has changed, and doctors are using their smartphones at work for a number of purposes. If they need to consult with a colleague or find information about medication, having a smartphone at the ready makes doing so easy and convenient.
The ability to send and receive instant messages is another important feature for busy doctors. They can have quick access to information they need without having to take time out of their busy schedule to hunt for it. New Zealand has invested in just such an IT system, and one of its features is a secure portal that lets patients communicate directly with their primary care physicians.
Tablets are being used by doctors to send and receive e-mails at work, as well as to access electronic health records and diagnostic information. When they need to review medical journals and papers to stay on top of the latest developments in their field, doctors now have the option of accessing this important information electronically.
Patients Communicate Efficiently with Doctors
A patient will be able to log into the system to see a list of his or her medications, select the ones that need to be renewed, and press "send." The request is sent to the doctor's office, where it can be picked up.
When a patient needs to ask the doctor a question, sending a message is much more efficient than picking up the phone and asking the doctor to return the call. The doctor can respond at his or her convenience and the patient can see a written response, which can be reviewed more than once if necessary. It saves the doctor and the patient time when an office visit is not necessarily required to fill prescriptions.
The doctor's time during office hours can be spent on functions that require a more hands-on approach. If a patient has been taking a medication regularly for a chronic medical condition that only requires monitoring, it doesn't make sense to have him or her make a specific appointment to see the doctor simply to get a refill for a prescription if the type of medication and the dosage will remain the same. That spot in the doctor's schedule could more appropriately be taken by another patient who requires a higher level of care right now.
Under this type of system, a patient who is being monitored for a chronic condition can contact the doctor quickly with questions if there is a change in his or her condition. If necessary, an office visit can be arranged to discuss changes to medication or other treatment options.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/31/14 -- MuleSoft, the company that makes it easy to connect applications, data and devices, today announced it has been named by Gartner, Inc. in the "Leaders" quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service.(1) The complete report, including the quadrant graphic, is available for free download at www.mulesoft.com/gartner-ipaas.
"Enterprises are accelerating their move to the cloud, often deploying hundreds of SaaS applications in silos -- these all need to work together with existing legacy systems, fueling an increasing demand for our enterprise-grade cloud integration platform," said Ross Mason, founder and vice president of product strategy at MuleSoft.

They have a solid reputation and notable market awareness, a proven track record in supporting a variety of use cases (often business-critical) and a notable network of partners, especially among SaaS providers. Their platforms, typically based on technology that's been in the market for years, are functionally and nonfunctionally (QoS, security, etc.) rich and mature."

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
27 Feb 2013 16:33 GMT | Sport, Tennis, Russia
World number six Tomas Berdych on Wednesday overcame jet-lag, an umpire's warning and a difficult first set against tenacious German Tobias Kamke at the Dubai Open before calling for changes to the time limit rule.Berdych emerged both relieved and frustrated after surviving 7-5, 6-1 against the world number 90, which carried him laboriously into the quarter-finals of the tournament.
"I don't like it. I'm not a fan of it. I don't see any single reason why to have this rule"
Tomas Berdych on 25-sec rule
The Czech contested the Marseille final 4,800 kilometres away on Sunday and struggled in the first set, saving 12 break points, dropping serve twice and three times being within one blow of being taken to a tie-break.With Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, his Marseille conqueror, having been similarly jaded during a first round loss to Michael Llodra, there was a distinct sense that Berdych was in danger from multiple pressures.One of them was the new 25-second time rule, which reduces by five seconds the permitted pause between rallies, and which annoyed Berdych when it was imposed on him during his most difficult moments."I don't like it. I'm not a fan of it. I don't see any single reason why to have this rule," he said.
"What could be positive on this? What could work? What could be advantage?"
Too much power
The conventional answer is improving the situation for spectators by speeding up the game, which has on average had only 20 minutes in an hour when there is action.Berdych, though, was sardonic about his transgressions. "I get like a six or seven (warnings) in Chennai and then I did not get one in Marseille and now I just get only warning. So I'm improving," he said dryly.
"If you have like 25 (seconds) and he has a bad day, or he doesn't like you, it's 24 and you go"
Tomas Berdych
Berdych's criticisms were directed also towards arbitrary impositions of the rule."It should be more clear what's going on, because the referee has so much power on you," he claimed."He can do whatever he wants. If you have like 25 (seconds) and he has a bad day, or he doesn't like you, it's 24 and you go."I mean, it's so simple. Let's put the clock there and then everybody goes by the clock. Simple as that if they want to go straight."Berdych also found it hard to continue adapting from indoor courts in Europe to the warm sun and wind in the Gulf. He tried to compensate by focusing hard and tried to take pleasure merely in making it to the last eight. There he will play the winner of Llodra and Dmitry Tursunov, the wild card entry from Russia.
Second round results:
2-Roger Federer (Switzerland) beat Marcel Granollers (Spain) 6-3 6-4 Dmitry Tursunov (Russia) beat Michael Llodra (France) 7-6(5) 2-6 6-3 4-Juan Martin Del Potro (Argentina) beat Somdev Devvarman (India) 6-4 6-4 7-Andreas Seppi (Italy) beat Lukas Rosol (Czech Republic) 6-4 7-6(4) Nikolay Davydenko (Russia) beat Victor Hanescu (Romania) 6-4 7-6(2) 3-Tomas Berdych (Czech Republic) beat Tobias Kamke (Germany) 7-5 6-1 Daniel Brands (Germany) beat 8-Mikhail Youzhny (Russia) 6-4 6-4
