This week sees the start of the final public debate on the Mayor's proposals to revise the London Plan.
The Mayor is in the final stages of revising the London Plan and is arguing that he needs to change it to bring it in line with Government policy. The Chair of the London Assembly's Planning Committee will be making the case for changes to some of the Mayor's key planning policies at London Plan at the Examination in Public (EiP).[1]
Nicky Gavron AM will represent the Assembly on Thursday 22 November on affordable housing. She gave evidence on the Mayor's duty to co-operate with local authorities on Monday 19 November.
Housing choice and Affordable Housing
(Thursday, 22 November 2012)
The main debate will deal with affordable housing – perhaps London's most pressing problem. The Assembly will make a strong case that the London Plan should take a more robust stance on providing truly affordable housing in the capital. Some of the issues that will be discussed include whether:
- the Mayor has an up-to-date and sufficient base of evidence to identify the real scale of need for affordable housing in London and to justify his proposed changes to meet the need
- boroughs should be excluded from having a say on what levels of rent can be charged for new affordable housing
- the Mayor's policies will see the level of new affordable housing needed for London built and help to deliver the right mix and balance of communities in London
Read the full submission from the Assembly Planning Committee.
The purpose[2] of this week's EiP is to test the Revised Early Minor Alterations to the London Plan – designed to shape the capital physically, environmentally and economically over the next two decades - and to examine some of the controversial issues and policies that were raised during the consultation process in June/July 2012.
The EiP takes place on 19 and 22 November at City Hall and is the last opportunity for public debate and scrutiny of selected issues before an independent panel.
Notes for editors:
- Read more about the EiP of the Revised Early Minor Alterations and Early Minor Alterations.
- The EiP provides an opportunity for a structured discussion and testing of the Revised Early Minor Alterations to the London Plan (REMA) before an independent Inspector, Geoff Salter BA MRTPI, who was appointed by the Secretary of State. The discussion is structured around the selection of "matters" chosen by the Inspector arising from consultations on the Minor Alterations. The REMA was published for consultation in June/July 2012. The Inspector's Report, together with all the other consultation responses, must be taken into account when the Mayor decides whether any changes need to be made to the London Plan. In preparing his report following the EiP, the Inspector will include recommendations for any amendments that he considers to be required to the REMA.
- Nicky Gavron AM, Chair of the Planning Committee, is available for interview. See contact details below.
- As well as investigating issues that matter to Londoners, the London Assembly acts as a check and a balance on the Mayor.
For more details, please contact Lisa Moore in the Assembly Media Office on 020 7983 4228/4283. For out of hours media enquiries please call 0207 983 4000 and ask for the Assembly duty press officer. Non-media enquiries should be directed to the Public Liaison Unit, Greater London Authority, on 020 7983 4100.

Charming Inn VirginiaEastern Shore, VA
- Main (434) 286-4600
Full service at its best on Virginia's Eastern Shore!
At the head of Onancock Creek leading to the Chesapeake Bay sits Onancock, on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. This watermen's town is graced with countless positives, but perhaps the greatest is The Charlotte Hotel, a charming eight guest room inn with the area's most renown restaurant!
Having been purpose built within the shell of an old existing building on North Street, The Charlotte Hotel is a thoroughly modern inn. Everywhere one looks, on walls, floors, hallways, and in frames, is the artistic handiwork of one of the owners, Charlotte Heath, whose creative design has added to the unique qualities of this property. Guests can enjoy simple but very comfortable rooms on the second and third floors (they even sell the mattresses, which are to die for!), but the cornerstone of the business is the restaurant.
Located in two spaces, one in the main building and one in the attached, leased building known as the "Next Door Gallery" (included for sale as part of the package), the restaurant can seat a total of about 65 in both dining rooms. An attractive, intimate bar with stools and two small high top tables is a popular gathering spot or place to wait while a diner's table is prepared. The mood is luxurious, the setting serene. The business is solid.
Approximately 75% of the inn's business comes from food and beverage, but the restaurant has a very capable chef who is guided by the owners to create delicious and attractive meals that have garnered no small amount of positive press. With a solid revenue base of around half a million dollars, The Charlotte Hotel is profitable and has excellent upside potential with (among many other things) NASA's increased development and reliance upon the installations at Wallups Island less than 30 minutes away. A new hospital is under construction in Onancock, which will be a source of business for years to come. In short, the future is bright for The Charlotte Hotel and its future owners!
While there are no owner's quarters on site, there are attractive homes available in the neighborhood, or one could add a floor or two to the adjacent building, creating spacious owner's quarters and even more guest rooms!
The B&B Team, Inc. is proud to offer this excellent business for $1,295,000 turnkey, which includes the adjacent leased property. A new owner could continue with the current arrangement leasing the Next Door Gallery by purchasing the main inn alone for $995,000. This is an excellent opportunity. For details, please contact Peter Scherman, 434-286-4600.

Summary: Friday might be an important day, perhaps the most important day of the decade. It's the Day of Rage in Saudi Arabia. The Princes have mobilized their vast security services to prevent or disperse the protests. Will anybody dare to show up? Will the Princes order the use of force? Will the crowds resist? The consequences could send oil prices skyrocketing, shaking the world. Many have guesses but nobody knows the outcome. Updates will appear below (and in the right-side meu bar).
Tunesia, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain. Now it's Saudi Arabia's turn. Most of the usual sources (e.g., Stratfor) have said almost nothing about Friday. But there are hints, some of which appear below.
If the Princes fall it will be no Black Swan. Experts have long said that unsustainable trends will lead to disaster for the Saudi Princes (unless they flee promptly).

Information and announcements from Program Managers, Product Managers, Developers and Testers in the Microsoft Virtualization team.
Virtualization Nation,
After my recent blog discussing the release of Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, we received overwhelmingly positive feedback. At the same time, there's still some skepticism about free Live Migration and almost daily we keep hearing, "This is too good to be true, is Live Migration really free? Is High Availability also free? What's the catch?" Yes, both Live Migration and HA are free. Check out this earlier blog for details.
At the same time, we've also received questions about Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 and VMware ESX/ESXi in terms of disk footprint. The disk footprint argument is a favorite bit of FUD by VMware which appears to making the rounds again in the blogosphere. In the past couple of weeks, I've seen a few articles reprinting this pabulum almost verbatim. So today, I thought we'd analyze the whole disk footprint argument and, as usual, let's analyze the facts.
The Thin Hypervisor Debate In A Nutshell
Rather than attempt to restate VMware's argument, let's just use their exact verbiage. From VMware's website:
It's interesting to point out that VMware uses ESX & ESXi 3.5 in the column title, but then only uses ESXi for comparison in the right hand column and then rushes to compares ESXi to Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V.
Gosh, I wonder why ESX 3.5 isn't included? We'll cover that too.
Pay special attention to the last paragraph:
"VMware ESXi is a fully functional hypervisor in a 32 MB disk footprint, which reduces the risk of down time and increases reliability."
"VMware ESXi is a fully functional hypervisor in a 32 MB disk footprint, which reduces the risk of down time and increases reliability."
There are three metrics to VMware's argument:
VMware's overarching point is because their disk footprint is smaller and ESX/ESXi is a single purpose hypervisor, they are therefore more secure. If that's the case, then it stands to reason that ESX/ESXi:
We're going to put that to the test.
Before We Get Started
Before we delve into the analysis, I'd like to point out that VMware touts ESXi as a 32 MB hypervisor, yet the download is over 200 MB. So, are we too assume that the other 170+ MB doesn't count? I point this out because both Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V and Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 do have larger disk footprints, but also provide incredible value and capabilities that our customers desire such as driver compatibility with a vast catalog of hardware, widely used management interfaces, scripting capability (PowerShell anyone?), MPIO, High Availability, etc.
If you really want to focus on the disk footprint that matters, the amount of software that could be directly exposed to VM attack, the Hyper-V hypervisor and virtualization stack combined is about 20 MB, ~19.4 MB for the virtualization stack and ~600k for the hypervisor.
In short, VMware has focused on our entire footprint which is made up mostly of stuff that isn't exposed to VM traffic at all or only exposed indirectly, while ignoring the part that matters most and for which VMware doesn't have a strong track record.
Time For Some Analysis
With VMware's own metrics in mind, I decided we should perform an apples to apples comparison. Specifically, over a 12 month period from June 30th 2008 to June 30th 2009, comparing: Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 (R1) and VMware ESXi 3.5 in terms of numbers of patches, size of patches and availability. I specifically chose these versions because I wanted to take a reasonable, historical sample size (12 months) of both platforms. Both Hyper-V R2 and VSphere have RTM'd within the last 90 days and that wouldn't be statistically relevant.
What did we compare? Wanting to keep the comparisons as close as possible, here's what we analyzed:
Both Microsoft and VMware also have optional patches, but I didn't include this type because they are optional, so we could focus on the most acute patches.. Finally, let me very clear about the Microsoft patches. These counts include ALL critical and recommended patches, meaning if there was a critical patch for IE or some other Windows component I counted it. Had I ignored these types of patches, that wouldn't be a fair comparison.
Comparison #1: Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 & VMware ESXi 3.5
Disk Footprint & Patch Count. Here's what we found:
Yes, I said over 2.7 GB. To put it another way,
So much for the disk footprint argument. How can the ESXi patch footprint be so huge?
Because VMware releases a whole new ESXi image every time they release a patch. Furthermore, because VMware releases a whole new ESXi image every time they release a patch it also means that every ESXi patch requires a reboot. At this point, a VMware salesman, may concede the point that every ESXi server has to be rebooted for every patch, but they will then state that they have VMotion (Live Migration), so it doesn't affect their uptime.
Except when their own patches cause days of downtime and render VMotion impotent.
Reliability/Availability. With VMware ESXi 3.5 Update 2, it included a serious flaw which resulted in two days of downtime for their customers including the loss of VMotion:
"Starting this morning, we could not power on nor VMotion any of our virtual machines," said someone identified as "mattjk" on a VMware support forum. "The VI Client threw the error 'A general system error occurred: Internal Error.'"
"Starting this morning, we could not power on nor VMotion any of our virtual machines," said someone identified as "mattjk" on a VMware support forum. "The VI Client threw the error 'A general system error occurred: Internal Error.'"
It was so bad, VMware's CEO had to apologize on numerous occasions. (HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, & HERE). VMware then rushed out the VMware ESXi 3.5 Update 3 which introduced instability to VMware High Availability and could cause virtual machines to spontaneously, unexpectedly reboot. (HERE & HERE)
Virtual machines that unexpectedly reboot due to bugs in VMware high availability. Think about that for a minute.
The News Gets Worse
Not only did VMware ESXi have a 31x greater patch footprint, but they also had the most serious virtualization security flaws. Specifically,
Guest code able to break out of VM and into the ESX Hypervisor
For those you who may not know, code running in a guest operating system that is able to break out of a VM and into a hypervisor is THE WORST type of security flaw you can have for a virtualization platform. Period. VMware has had exploits on both their "thin hypervisor (ESXi)" and on their "thick hypervisor (ESX)" as recently as a few months ago.
For example, April 2009 CVE-2009-1244: A critical vulnerability in the virtual machine display function allows a guest operating system users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS.
Impact: Provides administrator access, Allows complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability violation; Allows unauthorized disclosure of information; Allows disruption of service.

Impact: Provides administrator access, Allows complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability violation; Allows unauthorized disclosure of information; Allows disruption of service.
Something to consider when VMware wants to host your data in "their cloud."
Now consider the fact that there were two significant quality and reliability issues with two major updates in a row (ESX/ESXi Update 2 & Update 3). While the initial Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 release didn't offer Live Migration (MS Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 now includes Live Migration/HA for free), it didn't include two days of potential downtime and virtual machines unexpectedly rebooting either. For those that track availability in terms of nines (five nines is 5.26 minutes of downtime a year) VMware Update ESXi 3.5 Update 2 dropped customers to "two nines" of availability.
Using VMware's own metrics, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 is clearly the winner over ESXi 3.5.
One more interesting observation
After VMware released Update 2, which affected both ESXi & ESX, they rushed to get a fix out the door and did so in a few days. One interesting thing I noticed was that in the span of a few days, the patch grew 17 MB.
17 MB in a few days????
Now, I'm not sure what's in that 17 MB (potentially more than 50% of their hypervisor footprint could have been churned using VMware's 32 MB hypervisor claim, but I digress.), but if I had just released a patch that resulted in multiple days of downtime for my customers let me tell you what I would have done:
Created a highly scoped, well tested, surgical fix with minimal code churn.
To see a 17 MB change in just a few days would be cause for concern and an immediate code review.
Maybe that's just me.
In my next blog, we'll compare Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V and VMware ESX 3.5.
Jeff Woolsey
Principal Group Program Manager
Windows Server, Hyper-V
Lets be honest , while patching Hyper-V you need to apply patches to ALL operating system parts including notepad , IE , outlook express and more!
in other hand patching vmware its only components that supposed to be in hypervisor , i dont know where you took 3.7 GB , obviously you don't have any experience with vmware . When ESX 3.5 was on market Microsoft did not had any visualization product , and i don't understand why you don't compare current ESX 4.0 VSphere ?
Wow... very interesting facts and perspective, Jeff. I am all anxious to see VMware response.
@semkras, you definitely want to run your Hyper-V on Server Core installation, in particularly to avoid patching of "ALL operating system parts including notepad , IE , outlook express and more"; but more importantly, to reduce attack surface. With SCONFIG out there in R2, there's simply no good reasons or excuses NOT to run Hyper-V on Server Core installation, period.
while we're being honest, I have used ESX3-3.5 in live production for the past 2 years and have a 7 node enterprise cluster using FC SAN. I was a member of the HyperV TAP program during its development and have had a 6 node cluster using the same FC SAN in live production since pre RTM.
With this in mind, I like to think I have a good understanding of both. Sure there is always someone that knows more, but I'm happy I know enough.
To address your points:
1) Required to patch IE, OE/WLM, etc?
If you are installing HyperV in a production environment it is almost certain you are installing the ServerCore SKU (or even HyperV2008). Assuming this is the case patching is minimal and things like OE/WLM do not even exist.
2) Saying the HyperV program manager has no experience with VMWare - their primary competitor?
Appologies but perhaps that is a little naive :(
3) ESX 3.5 was on the market MS did not have any virtualisation product?
You mean apart from HyperV RTM? Without checking dates I recall ESX3.5 was late Q4 of 2007 and HyperV RTM was late Q1 of 2008 - both have been available since.... so MS did have a product when 3.5 was on the market.
4) Why not compare current 4.0 VSphere? From my understanding the article is a response to VMWare's own site stating comparison between ESX3.5/ESXi and HyperV RTM.... sure you could compare two different products (4.0 and HyperVR2) but they are not the products VMWare are talking about and not what this article is responding to.
Don't get me wrong, I like ESX and use it daily. But I also like HyperV and think VMWare are being a little bit "unfair" with some of their recent marketing.
From a personal opinion - I trust HyperV more than I trust ESX. I have had a couple of trashed VMs on ESX over the last couple of years and was also affected by the Update2 bug - which was "interesting".
With contrast, my HyperV cluster has just sat there and worked flawlessly since it was installed. This is exactly why my live production VMs (ie - Exchange, DCs, etc, etc) are all on HyperV and I have no plans to change it.
Thanks for your comments. I agree with your comment, "Lets be honest , while patching Hyper-V you need to apply patches to ALL operating system parts including notepad , IE , outlook express and more!"
The counts above INCLUDE ALL THOSE PATCHES. For example, if there was a critical/recommended patch for IE, I included it. Otherwise this wouldn't be a fair comparison. And, it's about time we had a fair comparison.
Again, thanks for your comments, I made a slight edit in the blog making sure I was clear on that point. Cheers, -Jeff
I love these debates, it cracks me up. The best part is, there are the FACTS and not the nonsense and marketing junk you will see everywhere else.
Keep it up!
I was at VMWorld 2007, and I got one of these ESXi copies on a memory stick, a 1GB memory stick, I decided I wanted to make a copy. So I get selfimage and I try to copy it onto a 512MB memory stick, no chance, if you include all the drivers and the hypervisor, it is bigger than 1/2 a Gig - once you have "gunzipped" all the device drivers. So sure the hypervisor is small, but then it's useless without the drivers.
Now consider the kernel of good old Windows XP - guess how big it is? 70-80 MB. How do I know this, I have been using Citrix Provisioning Server to create boot Windows XP as a vDisk (virtual disk) and the total network requirement to boot the kernel is around 75 MB. Now that's a five year old graphically rich user centric Operating System. Suddenly VMware's boasts about its hypervisor don't seem that impressive!
This is something of a spin.
We're still comparing a streamlined OS (ESX / ESXi) designed to do one thing (virtualize), to a more general purpose OS (Windows). Sure, there's server core, and Hyper-V Server - but that still doesn't change the fact that the underlying OS, and all of it's supporting components are of a more general purpose nature.
The footprint is typically larger, and the level of optimization reduced compared to ESX / ESXi
@Joe Gough
2008 Server Core is not a realy a core, its far away from getting even closer to linux core, without KDE/Gnome . All you have its same system without explorer.exe .So pathing is neccesarry for a lot features you dont really need.
You cant call Virtual Server 2005 virtualization platform for production server , its close to Vmware Workstation product , for developers and test enviroments .
Anyway Microsoft is going in right direction and if we will having this conversation in 5 years things will be definatly better for Microsoft , but for now its too early to compare HyperV with ESX .
Don't you mean Virtual PC which is close to VMWare Workstation?
Virtual Server is a virtualisation product in line with VMWare server and before VMWare GSX.
As for Virtual Server 2005 in a production environment... Why not. If it fits use it. I know that several companies which I worked at used Virtual Server in a production environment.
I also used VMWare, but I am more a fan of Hyper-V. The one thing that pleases me the most in hyper-v is that when preparing an image for OS deployement in a virtual machine, for Hyper-V I don't have to install any drivers to have it function. So no drivers which I have to delete or maintain on my clients when deployed. This worked instantly. In VMWare ESXi 3.5 it took me nearly 3 days to get this working, and I had to create a custom script which removes all drivers at deploy time.
But this are just my two cents.
Love the article.
I agree that it's wrong for VMware to lump ESXi with ESX in their marketing materials about disk footprint, since it is less applicable to ESX. In any case, the main patch-related benefit of ESXi disk footprint is not about having reduced filesize of patches, rather, it is about the amount of software that actually needs to be patched.
It can be argued that disk footprint is not a good metric for this, and the correlation is not perfect, but the proof is above: 13 patches for ESXi versus 26 for Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008! That's 100% more! Sure, those 13 patches have a bigger filesize, but is it even relevant?
Another important consideration is that even with the small footprint, ESXi is still manageable by Virtual Center, while Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 wasn't manageable by SCVMM until the R2 release, severely limiting it's usefulness in most enterprises (this basically relegates it to a test-only environment). It's great that R2 allows management by SCVMM, since it will be more a viable product.

Saturday's print coverage: Amber Purvis' injury has Ducks scrambling
The Oregon women's track and field team suffered its first major setback at the NCAA West Preliminary Round on Friday.
While the Ducks added nine qualifiers for the NCAA outdoor championships, they may have lost one of their key performers after junior Amber Purvis injured her right hamstring at the end of the 100 meters.
Purvis, a key part of both the 4×100 and 4×400 relays, attempted to come back in the 200 about 90 minutes later, but with her upper right leg heavily wrapped, she took only three strides before stopping.
Purvis then gingerly walked to the finish line with a slight limp in front of the West Grandstand as the crowd of 6,614 at Hayward Field applauded.
After the race, Purvis was wiping away tears and exchanging hugs with several concerned athletes in the cool-down area. The two-time NCAA champion was quickly ushered away from the media by UO women's associate head coach Robert Johnson before any questions could be asked.
Later, UO director of track and field Vin Lananna expressed hope that the injury would not prevent Purvis from competing today.
"It's her hamstring," he said. "We hope it's just a cramp, but the medical people are still working on her, so we don't have any significant update at this point.
"We're anticipating that she'll be able to come back (today) in the 4×100, but we'll see. I feel pretty confident that we have it covered even if she's not able to run."
If Purvis is unable to go, the Ducks will have to revamp their lineups for both relays.
Sophomore Devin Gosberry and senior Michele Williams are the leading candidates to fill in on the 4×400 relay. Sophomore Alexandria Davidson and senior Jamesha Youngblood could step into the 4×100 relay.

J Walter Thompson Worldwide (US)
JWT, or J Walter Thompson to give its full name, is one of the most famous brands in advertising history. It was arguably the world's first advertising agency, in the modern sense of the word, although it now prefers the term global brand communications. Owned since 1987 by WPP, the company took steps to brighten up its image in 2005, dropping the old name in favour of its already well used JWT abbreviation and a new logo. It plans to readopt the J Walter Thompson brand once again in 2014 to celebrate its 150th anniversary. Under any name, the agency has an enormous geographical spread, with some 200 offices in 90 countries. In most cases, the group operates as a fully integrated agency offering a wide variety of other marketing services disciplines beyond advertising. A handful of separately branded subsidiary units remain, but the biggest of these, marketing services network RMG:Connect, was merged into the main agency at the end of 2009.

Techie bobsledder wins gold
WHISTLER, B.C.--Leading at the midway point of the four-man bobsled competition, the Night Train sled piloted by Steven Holcomb is aiming to help the United States break a 62-year-old streak without a gold medal in bobsled.
Holcomb and his teammates turned in track record times in both runs on Friday, giving the team a 0.4-second lead over Canada and a 0.44-second lead over a tough German team, piloted by Andre Lange, who is trying to become the first man to twice win the two-man and four-man events at the same Olympics.
As a world champion, Holcomb … Read more

Memorial for 2008 Graduate Held
Houston County Courier - January 2009
|By Sharron Randall
Staff Writer
The Crockett High School class of 2008 held a memorial on Friday, Jan. 9 in the Bulldog Gym for Jonathan Vickers, a classmate who died in a wreck on Friday, June 20, only three weeks after he graduated from high school and 10 days after his 18th birthday.
The "Dickie Boys," a group of seniors in 2008 presented a United States flag which flew over the capitol in Washington, D.C. and a Texas flag which flew over the capitol in Austin on the day of Vickers' high school graduation
U.S. Representative Joe Barton and State Representative Chuck Hopson donated the flags, which were held up by a new group of "Dickie Boys" during the commemoration.
A dedication ceremony preceded the varsity game. Friends of Vickers, Travis Kenley, Case Craycraft, Jay Maxwell, Bill Kennedy, Ryan Robinson and David Arvizu presented the honoree's mother a flower in a color representing the college each attends.
To show their affection for a classmate, Jonathan's "Dickie Boy" uniform was encased in a shadow box made by Craycraft, which was also donated to CHS during the night's events and will be displayed at a location in the high school.
Dressed in slogan-bedecked Dickie coveralls or "wrecking crew" garb, the participating 2008 seniors were exuberant in their support of the Bulldog hoopsters, often standing on the sidelines on the centerline.
In lieu of a cheerleader performing backflips, those who attended the varsity basketball games last season will remember Vickers' spirited tumbles down the center of the court during halftime.
According to one of the young men's mother, the squad of seniors was well liked by the referees/officials who allowed their high jinks and sportsmanship behavior.
Participating in the sometimes amusing diversions were other Bulldog fans, also members of the graduating class of 2008, but they dressed in the black and white striped shirts of a referee.
Plans are to establish a scholarship in Vickers' name for future Crockett High School graduating seniors.
Jack and Kristi Vickers of Crockett attended the ceremony honoring their son.

How Would You Fare in an Interviewer's "Airport Test"?
How Would You Fare in an Interviewer's "Airport Test"?
Like us on Facebook
Susan L. Hodas, director of talent management at NERA Economic Consulting admits she and her colleagues apply "the airport test" to candidates. They ask themselves: "Would I want to be stuck in the airport for 12 hours with this person if my flight was delayed?" Consider this when you enter your next interview and be the likable, friendly, interesting person that you are when you're around your friends.

Much has changed in the last week for the Orioles. With the departure of Derek Lee and Koji Uehara, the Orioles have added 1B Chris Davis, RHP Tommy Hunter and Class-A IF Aaron Baker in trades with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Texas Rangers. The new-look Orioles come into Kansas City, where they look to snap a three-game losing streak.
The Baltimore Orioles hit a wall in the Bronx over the weekend. After a win in the series opener, the Orioles dropped three in a row against the Yankees.
In the first game of the doubleheader, the Orioles started Chris Tillman fresh out of another stint in Norfolk. While Tillman saw some success early on, errors and missed pitches resulted in a loss for the young hurler.
Game two took a different tone for the Birds. After 17 runs, the Birds returned to their New York hotel having been scored on 25 times in a single day.
The Orioles will look to have a short memory as they enter Kansas City, a team which the O's have seen marginal success. The Birds lead the season series 4-2, including a three-game sweep at Camden Yards.
Mark Reynolds is coming off a New York series in which he belted two home runs (22, 23). He's batting .318 against the Royals this season.
Baltimore does, however, have some things to celebrate about. It was on this day last year that the Birds welcomed their 19th manager, Buck Showalter, into the Orioles family. If this club hasn't forgotten the surge they went on in August 2010, this month could prove to be fun for O's fans.
Game One: Tuesday, August 2 at 8:10PM—RHP Alfredo Simon (2-4, 4.23) vs. LHP Bruce Chen (5-4, 4.29)
Alfredo Simon wants to go back to the middle of July. In his two starts on July 16 and 22, Simon gave up just nine hits in 13.2 innings. What's most important is that he put the Orioles in position to win. In his last start, Simon had three earned runs in five innings of work. He did, however, strike out seven, which gives the inclination that his fastball–splitter combination may be on the rise.
Former Oriole Bruce Chen returns home to face his old club for the second time this season. Earlier this year, Chen threw a gem against the Birds, giving up only five hits and a run in seven innings. He also struck out five. Chen, however, may need a short memory after his last start in Boston. His four innings of work saw 10 Red Sox sluggers cross the plate in as many hits.
Game Two: Wednesday, August 3 at 8:10PM—RHP Jeremy Guthrie (5-14, 4.18) vs. RHP Luke Hochevar (7-8, 5.15)
Jeremy Guthrie will make his 23rd start of the season tomorrow night. The Orioles are 3-7 in road games started by Guthrie. However, in his last start in New York, Guthrie pitched like the strong ace that he is, giving up only one run on just four hits. The Orioles handed New York their only loss in the series.
Luke Hochevar has pitched well in his last three starts, averaging over six innings per start, giving up just over two runs. Hochevar's only start against the Orioles this season saw eight runs on as many hits (seven earned). He only struck out one.
Game Three: Wednesday, August 4 at 8:10PM—TBA vs. LHP Jeff Francis (4-11,4.38)
Jeff Francis is coming off a phenomenal start in Cleveland in which he worked eight scoreless innings. Francis, against the O's, has given up 10 hits, 10 runs, walked five and struck out eight in 11.2 innings. Francis will look to take advantage of the friendly crowd (3.52 ERA at home) and repeat his last start.
The Orioles have yet to name a starter for Wednesday's game.
By the Numbers:
- J.J. Hardy's 18 homeruns this season are eight more than Oriole shortstops hit the past three seasons combined.
- Since June 11, the O's are only 12-32. Pitching may be to blame, as the O's staff has a combined 5.29 ERA.
- Vladimir Guerrero looks to take sole possession of 91st place on baseball's all-time hits list. His next base hit will raise his total to 2,525 for his career.
- In the last 25 games, Oriole relievers have worked 95.1 innings.

Action Flicks I Couldn't Care More About: First and foremost -- Watchmen (March 6th). It's one hell of a graphic novel and looks to be one hell of an adaptation (with or without the Giant Blank), but the only problem is it may not hit theaters on time if 20th Century Fox has anything to say about it. Both Fox and Warner Brothers are fighting over who actually owns the rights, and if a judge favors Fox comes January 20th (when the court date is set), we're looking at a delayed release and a whole ton of angry fans. Then there's Public Enemies (July 1st), which has me sold on not the subject matter, but sheer pedigree: Michael Mann directs Johnny Depp and Christian Bale as '30s gangsters. (It doesn't hurt that the earliest word ranges from damn good to great.) On the skimpier side, I can only hope that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (July 17th) streamlines its source material as the previous one had, and I can only hope that Crank 2: High Voltage (April 17th) lives up/down to the depravity of its predecessor. There's one last action movie that I couldn't care more about because, well, I've already seen a version of it. The international cut of Taken (January 30th, though reportedly opening with some R-dodging trims) is about as brisk and butt-kicking as one might hope out of a man-on-a-mission kidnapping thriller, and if you disagree, I'll send Liam Neeson to change your mind.
Action Flicks I Couldn't Care Less About: In terms of nostalgia and such, I managed to miss out on playing with or growing up on, and subsequently caring about, anything related to Street Fighter (February 27th), Dragonball (April 8th), Land of the Lost (June 5th), G.I. Joe (August 7th) and Transformers (June 26th). Judging by what I've seen of those flicks -- in addition to Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (January 23rd) -- for me to suggest anticipation, suppose enthusiasm, or even feign interest just wouldn't be kosher.
Action Flicks That I Hope Surprise Me: Delay often equals dismay in the world of film, but I do hope that Mickey Rourke playing cat to Diane Lane's mouse wields better results in Killshot (January 23rd) than the ol' Weinstein Shuffle might have us believe. Also opening on the 23rd in limited release is Outlander, which -- if I've got this right -- is about an alien being (James Caviezel) who helps proper Vikings defeat an alien creature. If that premise doesn't have potential, I don't know what does. I'm getting some Jumper vibes from the telekinetic antics of Push (February 6th), but we'll see, and I'm drawn to The International (February 13th) if only to find out if director Tom Tykwer was drawn to the project by anything but a paycheck. I hope that X-Men Origins: Wolverine (May 1st) and Terminator: Salvation (May 22nd) are better than their respective third parts, and I hope that Star Trek (May 8th) will satisfy the Trekkies without leaving the rest of us out in the cold. May Fast & Furious (April 3rd) be as fun as the first one was (and the next two struggled to be), and may Inglourious Basterds (August 21st) be worth Tarantino's proud typographical errors. With any luck, Avatar (December 18th) will live up to James Cameron's determination to Revolutionize Everything We Know About Movies Forever, and Game (September 4th) will match the twisted track record of Neveldine/Taylor to date (see: Crank).
Those Which Fell In Between: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson + kids x more explosions than The Game Plan had = Race to Witch Mountain (March 13th) ... WWE wrestler John Cena goes after a kidnapped missus in a Fox film, just as he had in The Marine, with 12 Rounds (March 27th) ... a misplaced drug delivery leads to urban action-comedy hijinks in Next Day Air (May 8th) ... John Travolta and Denzel Washington help botch a classic in Tony Scott's remake of The Taking of Pelham 123 (June 12th) ... Roland Emmerich is back at his big-budget doomsday antics with 2012 (July 10th) ... armored truck operators direct a heist at themselves in, um, Armored (Sept. 18th) ... and Bruce Willis wants to know who's killing the lifelike cyborgs of The Surrogates (Sept. 25th).

out all you need to know in order
to be a part of this exciting program.
There are two different ways to enroll in a MVCR course depending
on your needs. Each method involves a different set of procedures and different
fees. You must choose one or the other, not both. Credit can not be transferred
between CEUs and Academic Credit hours after a course is completed; however,
you may take a course twice if you want both.
Academic Credit @ University of Illinois - Springfield
Continuing Education Units through MVCR
Enrolling for Academic Credit through the University of Illinois at Springfield
Why enroll for academic credit?
To enroll in a course through UIS, do NOT enroll
in the courses through this Web site. Instead, for admission to
UIS courses, determine your
appropriate category below and follow the instructions.
Non-Degree Seeking Students
STEP 1 - All students in MVCR courses,
regardless of enrollment method, must create a MyMVCR account. This account
is required for course tracking, course
orientations, student orientation surveys, and course evaluations. Sign
up for an account using the link at the top right of this screen and then
return to this page for the next steps.
STEP 2 - Students must complete an application and submit it to the Office
of Admissions and Records. See http://www.uis.edu/admissions/applyNow.html
STEP 3 - Decide which course(s) you want to register for. MVCR courses are
400 and 500 level courses in the Computer Science (CSC) and Teacher Education
Program (TEP) departments at UIS. A full listing of online courses through
UIS can be found in their online
course catalog.
The following MVCR Courses are commonly offered through UIS. For
courses offered with multiple sections, you do NOT take both courses.
STEP 4 - All MVCR courses are enrolled With Permission of Instructor
(WPI). In the case of MVCR classes, the WPI is mainly required to assure
that enrolling
students are aware of the irregular meeting dates and how to contact
ION for more information. To receive a WPI that will permit enrollment,
the student
must send and email MVCR WPI request and provide the following information:
Your UIN #
(If you do not know your UIN#, you can visit the University
of Illinois ID card Web site and click on "Tell me my University ID Number" )
Title of course in which you want to register
UIS Course Code (e.g. TEP 501 A)
UIS Reference # (e.g. 11867)
If you have any questions, you can contact the ION coordinator:
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Office phone: (217) 333-4393
STEP 5 - The final step to start a
course is to register through UIS for the course.
Register via web: http://www.uis.edu/registration/. If you are new to the UIS system, you will need to follow the directions for creating a NetID and password in order to register.
STEP 6 - Pay your bill at UIS
Information about tuition and payment can be found at http://www.uis.edu/registration/tuition/
NOTE: Appropriate Fee Waivers will be applied AFTER registration for MVCR
Other helpful information can be found at http://otelportal.uis.edu/.
The non-degree student generally will not be encouraged to take
more than four hours (1 unit) each term. ALERT: The graduate non-degree student
will be asked
for clarification of his/her status before exceeding 12 hours (3 units).
Most MVCR courses are worth 0.5 Units or 2 credit hours.
Graduate Applicants
Note that MVCR is not a program within the University of Illinois at Springfield.
The courses are offered for credit within the Teacher Education Program and
Department of Computer Sciences, and may be counted for a degree within those
departments and others. For more information on which courses count for credit
in your degree program, you will need to check with your department.
To enroll as a graduate student at the University of Illinois at Springfield,
students must complete an application to the university and have official
transcripts submitted to the Office of Enrollment Services. Full admission
to graduate studies may be granted to students who have earned a baccalaureate
degree with a minimum undergraduate grade-point average of 2.50 on a 4.00
scale and who have met all specific program requirements and prerequisite
courses. Programs may require higher grade-point averages. Programs may grant
conditional admission to persons with less than the required GPA with the
additional requirement of completing eight semester hours of courses at UIS
(exclusive of prerequisites) with a grade-point average of at least 3.00.
If conditional admission is granted, the program will specify which courses
must be completed.
International Students
The admission requirements for Undergraduate/Graduate applicants also apply
for international students with the addition of the following requirements.
Applicants applying from abroad whose native language is not English must
submit official international TOEFL scores as part of the English Proficiency
Admission Requirements. All students whose native language is not English
are required to take an English proficiency test on campus the week before
registration. Test results do not affect admission to UIS but will be used
to determine the need for an English as a Second Language (ESL) class. Applicants
who have earned an associate's degree or higher in the United States with
a GPA of 2.00 or better on a 4.00 scale are not required to submit international
TOEFL scores.
For more information on full-time student admissions, refer to the UIS
Admission Requirements.
When applying through UIS, all policies and procedures of the University
of Illinois will apply.
Enrolling through MVCR for Continuing Education Units
Another option is to take MVCR courses for Continuing Education
Units. All procedures, fees, etc. listed specifically
for this Web site apply to this option. Anyone
with a Master's degree or other terminal professional degree is eligible to enroll in MVCR courses by this method. Further, we will ask for your institutional affiliation as part of our registration process.
Before you enroll
in your first MVCR course, you must create a MyMVCR account. This account
you with a customized view of the MVCR courses in which you are currently
enrolled as well as those completed previously. It is also required to
register in future courses and to access course orientation materials,
grade reports, and our student
survey. This is a one-time process. If you enroll in additional MVCR
courses in the future, continue to use the login (your e-mail address) and
password you created when you first registered.
Once you have a MyMVCR account, follow the links on the courses page
in order to register for a course. Search the catalog for the course(s)
in which you
desire to register. Make sure that you select the correct course section
when registering. Some courses are offered more than once in a given semester.
Follow the instructions provided to complete the registration process.
To withdraw from a course, return to the registration page and click the "Withdraw From the Course" button; or contact withdrawing from MVCR course and request withdrawal. The withdrawal deadline may vary for those taking
courses for CEU's or for academic credit through the University of Illinois
at Springfield.
You must execute the withdrawal at the UIS site for UIS registrations.

We INFORM those already participating in various athletic events on ways to improve or grow in the sport through better training, nutrition, and coaching. And we INSPIRE competitive athletes to dream bigger and achieve more than they once thought possible. We want YOU on our TEAM!
Team MMS is 4 years old! The club is very young and we have learned so much in the first 3 years. What we learned is that running a club should not fall on 2 or 3 people.

... we had not got that far and so once
again we parked up off the road. Within 10 minutes we had 4 police
pointing their guns at us and calling for us to come out with our

Luckily the senior officers corrected him. It all turned out quite

West to Abuja, Nigeria
The trip from the border to Abuja took 4 days. The border crossing took a half day by itself. A very remote crossing that didn't even look like a border crossing although I must say the *****ian officials checked everything, even our bags ( that was until they got tired of it). Also, for the first time on my travels, my yellow fever cert. And they wanted to know why i didn't have a cholera vaccination!!!! But we all made it across.

Loss ends McMurry's season
The McMurry baseball team wasn't going to sit idly by and watch its season end without putting up a fight.
The Chapman Panthers just happened to get the last shot.
Patrick Ohail homered in the bottom of the 12th inning to give the Chapman Panthers a 5-3 victory Thursday at Walt Driggers Field to knock McMurry out of the NCAA Division III West Regional.
Ohail, who went 4-for-6 with three doubles, connected off McMurry reliever Adrian Gaona as No. 1 Chapman (37-3) remained unbeaten in the double-elimination tournament.
"It's an unbelievable feeling -- probably the biggest hit of my career," Ohail said. "I've never hit a walk-off home run at the high school or college level. It felt good to end the game that way. Our team battled the whole time and it felt good to go home with a win."
The Panthers will take on Trinity at noon today. Earlier Thursday, La Verne defeated George Fox 11-6 in an elimination game, and Trinity defeated Cal State-East Bay 8-3 in the late game. La Verne will meet East Bay at 3:30 p.m. today in another elimination game.
McMurry coach Lee Driggers said the Maroon and White performed well after Wednesday's 14-7 loss to East Bay.
"The one thing we wanted to do was come back and show that we did have a ballclub, and we do," Driggers said. "We deserved to be here.
"We played well today, played a good ballclub and they got the clutch hit when they needed it. We had an opportunity (in the top of the 12th), but it was a great pitcher (Kurt Yacko) on the mound for them. He's a tough guy to hit and we just couldn't get it done."
Yacko, who started the game at shortstop, worked 3 23 hitless innings in relief of starter Ryan Clear to get the win. Yacko (6-0) pitched 2 23 innings on Wednesday to get the save in Chapman's 4-3 victory over La Verne, and retired the first eight batters he faced Thursday. He struck out six and walked one.
Chapman coach Tom Tereschuk said the game showed what postseason competition is all about.
"All the pitchers in this game really did a great of competing, there were a lot of great defensive plays by both teams, a lot of big hits and great at bats," he said. "It's a shame anyone's got to lose that game, but fortunately for us we came out on top."
McMurry starter Dakota Smith held Chapman to two earned runs over eight innings, giving up 10 hits while striking out three. Clear worked 8 13 innings, giving up three runs on 11 hits with three strikeouts.
Gaona (1-3), who went 3 23 innings, was almost out of the 12th when Jake Hurst beat out an infield single. Ohail sent the next pitch out to right.
McMurry (29-19) scored all its runs in the second, getting to Clear for five consecutive hits. Stephen Derrick led off with a home run and singles by Brent Voorhees, Weston Franco and Lance Jones loaded the bases for Thomas Beckham, who slipped a roller through the left side for an RBI single. Steven Yurchick drove in the third run when he beat a relay throw to first to avoid a double play.
Franco finished 3-for-5, while Jones and Beckham were both 2-for-5.
Chapman pulled within a run over the next two innings. In the bottom of the second, Ryan Hall reached on a three-base error and scored on Matt Pearson's ground out. Smith was a strike away from being out of the third when Mike Vass homered to left-center.
The Panthers pulled even in the sixth when Ohail doubled with one out and scored on Hall's bouncer over the head of McMurry third baseman Derek David.
McMurry had a chance to regain the lead in the ninth when Jones doubled to put runners at second and third with one out. Yacko came on and got Beckham on a grounder to third, then struck out pinch hitter Jeff Jackson.
Chapman left the winning run in scoring position in the ninth and 10th as Gaona worked out of trouble.
La Verne 11, George Fox 6
Scott Marcus homered and drove in four runs to lead La Verne back from an early 4-0 deficit.
George Fox committed five errors while becoming the first team eliminated from the tournament.
Marcus hit a three-run homer in the third, then put the Leopards ahead to stay with a sacrifice fly in the fifth. La Verne (26-15-1) added four unearned runs in the sixth as George Fox (28-14) committed three errors.
La Verne's Jimmy Wilfong (6-2) worked three innings in relief to get the win, giving up two runs on a hit and two walks. He struck out two.
George Fox starter Mark Putney (7-1) gave up nine runs -- five earned -- on 11 hits to take the loss. He struck out four and walked none in six innings.
Jack Mehl and Eddie Kalankiewicz each had three hits and scored two runs for the Leopards.
Todd Siler went 2-for-4 for George Fox, hitting a pair of two-run homers.

Star Entertainment
Former Moments artiste goes solo
Rasbert Turner, Star Writer
Fourth-place winner in the 2009 Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall competition, Andrew Bonner, is now forging a solo career path for himself.
Bonner, who formed one half of the duo Moments, says, so far, his career is poised for a positive journey in the industry.
'' I am now recording on the Zion Yard label in Old Harbour and I am very pleased with the way I feel connected to the team. So far, I have recorded a single title Journey and Forever and it's getting the blessings of mainstream media,'' Bonner said.
He told The STAR that his exposure on the talent show has helped him and he is just trying to further what he has learnt from the industry.
The Bannister resident says he is on a mission and intends to achieve his objective through the microphones.
Bonner also disclosed that he had other materials to hit the streets soon, and that all his materials are written by him and only offers positive messages.
''He has great potential and we are working with him to hone his craft as he only needs good management and guidance to turn the raw talent into gold,'' Dewayne 'Rich Wayne' Gonzales of Zion Yard Label said.

All the Bill Engvall you need
Anna mentioned back in November that TBS was creating a pilot for Blue Collar comedian Bill Engvall, best known for his "here's your sign" routine. Now we know that the new series will be called The Bill Engvall Show (what else?) and will star Engvall and Nancy Travis. Engvall will play Will Pearson, a family counselor and father of a teenage daughter and two boys. Travis will play his wife, Susan.
Much like a majority of Engvall's comedy, the new show promises to be a simple, family-friendly comedy shot in typical multi-camera fashion in front of a studio audience. The series debuts sometime this summer.
Fans of Engvall's stand-up can also catch him March 25 at 9:00 p.m. on Comedy Central in a new special: Bill Engvall: Fifteen Degrees Off Cool.

Is Placenta Kosher?
My toasted skin is coming off of my décolletage in thin transparent sheets, revealing pink splotches of raw epidermis that contrast with my brown tan, "like a cow's spots" my husband so helpfully commented.
At the same time (yesterday, to be exact) my stomach extended beyond the normal bounds of a three course dinner and a double dessert, to unequivocally declare: baby (plus a three course dinner and a double dessert) inside!
As my body does its thing, I am amazed by its versatility and complexity. It's quite incredible.
In other fun body news, I've hired someone to encapsulate my placenta after I give birth. They take the placenta after it's expelled through the vagina, clean it, dehydrate it, and make it into little pills. The placenta is chock full of pregnancy vitamins perfectly calibrated for one's own biology (seeing as it is actually a piece of one's biology). Eating it is supposed to help with post-partum bleeding, recovery, depression and even menopause (the pills can be stored).
Being a good Jew I wondered what bracha one might make on placenta, and if it's kosher. "Is placenta –" I typed into google – and auto fill suggested "kosher" right away. Apparently this is far more common question than I imagined.
In my research I found all sorts of halachic rulings on consuming body parts and fluids, paskened by various dubious internet sources, including:
- Breast milk is pareve (some women apparently drink it to stimulate labor)
- A woman who froze her placenta, then moved it, inadvertently defrosting and forgetting about it, and had it then explode on her, dousing her in her own blood, does not become a niddah
- A mohel is allowed to suck blood off a babys penis because he spits it out
- There are no real clear answers about whether or not placenta is kosher, but it may be that the only problem is "miyus" that it's disgusting – which, if there are obvious health benefits, can be gotten around
Phew! Glad that's no problem!

Rules Unclear In School Psych Room Emergencies
New York, NY —
A civil rights group says New York Police Department officers have taken at least two public school students to psychiatric emergency rooms last year, but it's not clear what the rules are for doing so.
The New York Civil Liberties Union requested information about the practice from both the Education and Police departments in March. Donna Lieberman is the group's executive director.
LIEBERMAN: When it comes to school safety matters and discipline matters the department of education often says, 'Oh we don't know anything about that, that's the police department.' Well, for the public it's about what's going on in our schools.
REPORTER: One of the students removed for psychiatric care was a 5-year-old throwing a tantrum. The other was a teenager using a cellphone.
The NYCLU has filed a lawsuit against the Police Department seeking more information. The NYPD says it's reviewing the group's request. The City's Education Department has not responded to a call for comment.

Moose are found throughout the province of Manitoba ranging south from the U.S border, north to the Nunavut Territory. Until recently, there has been only occasional reports of moose in the prairie region of southern Manitoba, but populations have now become established in the Pembina and Souris River Valleys. They are also found in Spruce Woods Provincial Forest and Turtle Mountain Provincial Park in southwestern Manitoba from where they were absent until as late as the early 1970's.
The moose population in Manitoba has increased from an estimated 28,000 in 1992 to about 32,000 currently. The demand for consumptive use of moose continues to exceed supply in the more accessible areas. Renewed cooperative management programs are required to encourage continued growth in moose populations. First Nations moose harvest was estimated at double the annual licenced harvest of 1,500 animals. Equitable distribution of sustainable harvest, providing opportunity for all stakeholders, will require constructive consultation.
As additional forestry and recreational development occurs east of Lake Winnipeg and north and east of The Pas, more intensive management will be required to ensure that the moose population can be maintained.

GUP clients not updating
I set up a remote site to pull updates from a GUP. Those machines are not updating when in the office (the laptops appear to pull down updates from Live Update when they are not in the office). In the event log, I see:
Event ID: 201
Source: Symantec Endpoint Protection
Category: Content
Desc: Content download to the client failed
Moniker: {GUID}
Sequence: 121102020
Source: Group Update Provider
Size: 750286
So, it looks like the client attempts to download an update from the GUP, given it has information about the update package. But it isn't happening. The GUP is a Windows 2003, and the clients are Windows 7. Wrong update package? Change to a different GUP? Or install Live Update Administrator?
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Any SEP client can become a GUP so OS should not matter. Ideally, you want the GUP to be on the same SEP version as the SEPM but it is not a requirement. If you can update to latest version, I would highly recommend doing that.
Have a look at this doc on GUP troubleshooting:
Troubleshooting the Group Update Provider (GUP) in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP)
See this thread as well:
Is the GUP reporting to the SEPM that is actually a GUP?
You can run sylink monitor and than post the logs for review.
Check this thread:
Please click the "Mark as solution" link at bottom left on the post that best answers your question. This will benefit admins looking for a solution to the same problem.
Something else to remember.
Not only do the clients need to know where the GUP is, but the potential GUP itself must know so too.
Do you have different LiveUpdate policies applied to your servers and workstations?
- If yes. make sure that both LiveUpdate policies have got your server defined as a GUP.
- If no, review the links posted by Brian81 above, review the SYLINK log files and test (using HTTP or telnet) if TCP port 2967 is active
Those machines are not updating when in the office
Your GUP is on the same remote site?
(the laptops appear to pull down updates from Live Update when they are not in the office)
In your LiveUpdate policy, do you have the option set to use the default Symantec LiveUpdate server? See this screen shot:
Please mark the post that best solves your problem as the answer to this thread.
Thanks Ian. I didn't have the always on server up there as part of the managed client group. Made it managed, and saw the sharedcontent folder appear.
Now, since this is a server, I only installed the basic client - Just the A/V component. Will it still update Network Threat Protection and Proactive Threat Protection on the clients?
This is a v12.1 MP1 environment.

WASHINGTON — One revealing stress test of a political viewpoint is the way it deals with facts that are large, consequential and ideologically inconvenient.
For conservatives, the challenge is climate change. A variety of studies, using increasingly refined methodologies, indicate that climate change is happening and that greenhouse emissions play a contributing role. But many on the right aren't comfortable with the policy implications. So some deny the science; more ignore or downplay it.
For liberals, the challenge is deficits and debt. President Obama now argues that we are "more than halfway toward the $4 trillion in deficit reduction that economists and elected officials from both parties say we need to stabilize our debt." Economist Paul Krugman calls the deficit "a problem that is already, to a large degree, solved."
Downplaying the debt — arguing that it has stabilized as a percentage of GDP in a 10-year window — has become an ideological commitment on the left. It is often accompanied by criticism of the "deficit scolds" who attribute moral content to a mathematical dispute.
But the problem with the debt deniers is primarily mathematical. According to the Congressional Budget Office, debt will stabilize — but at a historically high level and only for about five years. At that point, the upward trajectory will resume, reaching (under optimistic assumptions) 77 percent of GDP by 2023. Under a more realistic budget scenario, the CBO projects the figure will be more like 87 percent.
But then the retirement of the baby boom generation, high health costs, the expansion of federal health subsidies and rising interest payments really kick in. Under its more realistic assumptions, the CBO expects public debt to rise to 157 percent of GDP in 2032 and 200 percent in 2037, according to its latest Long Term Budget Outlook. The chart stops in 2043, prompting a note reading: "CBO does not report debt of more than 250 percent of GDP or projections based on debt above that level, such as interest outlays." In other words, their economic model crashes. And the real economy would crash much sooner.

Turned out perfect even though I used Brumble and Brown's yogurt spread instead of butter. The recipe was a lot easier than I expected, and I'll definitely make it again when I have dinner guests I want to impress; also think they'd make a great gift. Mine turned out crunch and not brownie-like even though I didn't increase the cooking time. I was really careful about precisely measuring the amount of flour I used b/c cooking shows always emphasize this is important for successful baking. The only thing I think I'd change is that I'd use mini-chips instead of full-sized one next time.flag if inappropriate
These were pukka! I made them for a Jazz and Coffee night and they were a hit- all of them were gone by the night's end. I think they might need a bit more baking time, to make them more crisp. Really lovely though. An easy, delicious variation- substitute the cocoa with ground almonds and instead of adding chocolate chips add about 175 g. white chocolate chips- Really great too.flag if inappropriate
The flavor was overall good, but they were more brownie-like then biscotti. I was also expecting a more deep chocolaty flavor having used so much cocoa and chocolate chips as the recipe called for. It's good if you don't care for the crispness of other biscotti recipes.flag if inappropriate
I have made this recipe several times for get togethers, co-workers and family. I can't count the number of people who have asked me for the recipe. They are easy to make and great to have on hand for unexpected company. Even peole who aren't crazy about chocolate loved them because they weren't super sweet.flag if inappropriate
An easy and VERY good recipe for Biscotti. I made a double batch and got rave reviews from both my Temple's sisterhood and my 6th grader's class--divergent palates. Very yummy.flag if inappropriate
Yummy!! More brownie like than biscotti but who cares -- they are delicious.flag if inappropriate
This recipe was so easy. I had rave reviews from everyone. Made them for Christmas and they not only tasted great, they looked beautiful! A recipe worth keeping.flag if inappropriate
I made this two nights back to back last week. Brought some to work and heard complaints that it was all gone too soon. Made some more the next day and remembered to keep a stash for me. Plain biscotti is nice, but this is a stick of heaven with my coffee and cream.flag if inappropriate
I've gotten raves each time I've made this recipe. I first made it for a tailgate function, and people were commenting to my husband all day about the cookies. I've also made these cookies for functions at work, and people always ask for the recipe. They're a little softer than other biscotti I've made, and I have to be careful and use a very sharp knife when I cut them. They're also a little time consuming to make since the logs must be refridgerated for 30 minutes prior to baking. I was worried that I'd have a disaster on my hands the first time I made this recipe since the technique for preparing the logs is a little unusual. However, they always turn out good, and I save any parts that have crumbled off for myself!flag if inappropriate
Yummy, although they came out more like brownies than biscotti--chewy and crumbly. Still good.flag if inappropriate
