Spanier's fall hard for many to believe
Last fall, Graham Spanier stood at the apex of American public higher education.
As president of Penn State for 16 years, he was among the longest-serving presidents of any major American university. His wife, Sandra, headed Penn State's prestigious Hemingway Letters Project.
Spanier collected nearly $200,000 a year as a member of the board of U.S. Steel Corp., on top of more than $800,000 a year from Penn State.
Over the years, he chaired a group from the nation's top research universities and served as chairman of the National Security Higher Education Advisory Board and on the National Counterintelligence Working Group.
Now as Spanier, 64, faces charges in what prosecutors are calling a conspiracy of silence that allowed Jerry Sandusky to prey on children, some are taking another look at his tenure.
Spanier, who conducted a whirlwind media tour in August proclaiming his innocence of wrongdoing, did not respond to requests for comment.
David Saxe, a professor in Penn State's College of Education since 1990, said Spanier notched many notable achievements, including the creation of centers and opportunities for students. He steered Penn State's acquisition of the Dickinson School of Law and nurtured the university's far-flung campuses into four-year degree institutions.
"For his friends, my God, it was a wonderful place," Saxe said.
But Saxe said there was another side to the president who donned the school mascot's costume and performed magic tricks.
"He was extremely powerful here at Penn State. Everything deferred to him. ... His decision-making was very closed. I've been waiting for this day for a long time — a very, very long time — that someone would call him to account," Saxe said.
Ben Novak, a Penn State trustee from 1988-2000, said Spanier's management style was very much top-down. He routinely kept trustees in the dark, Novak said.
Even so, Novak said he finds the charges against Spanier hard to believe.
"I was one of his greatest critics, but in regard to this matter, I don't believe Graham Spanier would have stepped back if he thought anything wrong was going on with Jerry Sandusky," Novak said.
Born in South Africa and raised outside Chicago, Spanier was educated as a sociologist and family therapist before going into college administration.
Since his removal as president, Spanier's attorneys have said he worked for the federal government in a security-related role and retained a top-secret security clearance. He remained a tenured professor at Penn State.
Retired federal Judge Timothy Lewis, a member of Spanier's legal team, said the charges are unfounded.
"There is no factual basis to support these charges, which may explain why the attorney general and her staff have steadfastly refused — for a full year — to meet with Dr. Spanier or his lawyers to discuss this matter despite repeated attempts to do so, or to accept Dr. Spanier's offer to appear before the grand jury again to clarify any misconceptions," Lewis said.

Re: The first bounty on Dust 514? The offer is made.
Ah right, splicer is your ranked on the forum then maybe? was just reading the wrong bit. Apologies.
Np DT. You will get your isk without issue.
As for having ISK to burn? Yeah, and lots of it :-)
Only a small portion of the Eve population are actually involved in FW or planetary interaction so we have to make use of you Dust bunnies somehow :-P
So, welcome to the blood sports.
Re: The first bounty on Dust 514? The offer is made.[ Edited ]
Well, now that the PSN is back up, I've had chance to get a review from the Dust forum.
2 points that your wanted some clarity on:
The NDA:
The NDA does not permit you to post videos during the closed beta period. I believe this game moves into open beta soon. The term open means that it is open to the public and therefore the NDA no longer applies. You have been informed of this bounty prior to the open beta so you have a head start over new players joining you for the open beta. Consider this my gift to you for taking part in the closed beta.
Transferal of the reward:
The isk will be transfered to whom ever completes the contract in what ever manner CCP permits, when CCP permits it.
Good luck on your hunt.
I'll give 10m ISK to whoever is the 1st to copy and paste this onto the Dust 514 forum as a reply to the previously posted topic.
Re: The first bounty on Dust 514? The offer is made.
Yup, thank you for the post.
Payments to be made thus far:
+ Posting errand #1 - dtoracle - 50 million ISK - Pending.
+ Posting errand #2 - dtoracle - 10 million ISK - Pending.
+ Completion of contract - ? - 500 million ISK - Awaiting completion.
Re: The first bounty on Dust 514? The offer is made.[ Edited ]
There are a few mercs who showed interest. But many are concerned about the NDA & the payment method. But I'm sure someone will complete the contract by next week, once open beta starts.
Also, It's practically a gaurentee that transfers will be taxed, & quite heavly intially. My question is, if the contract payment be pre or post tax?
Re: The first bounty on Dust 514? The offer is made.
Well, seeing this post is the first I've heard of any tax.
Anyway, I've been away and spoken to a few peeps and this is what we got so far....
If there is indeed going to be a tax on isk transfers then all of us are at the whim of CCP and what they set the tax rate to. It is my intention to get as much of the 500 million ISK to the employed Dust merc (he who completes the contract) as possible. That said, if the tax rate will be 90%, as I've seen a couple of people suggest although not from any credible source, then you are going to struggle to find an Eve player willing to spend 5 billion isk on 5 deaths of a Dust merc. Eve players won't pay that much to have other Eve players killed 5 times let alone Dust mercs.
However, from what I have heard and seen of Dust, most battles will only net a merc about 100,000 - 200,000 ISK. So, even with a tax rate of 90% on this bounty you'll be earning a solid 50m from this contract which would take you 250 battles at 200k per match... Not exactly bad pay for 5 kills when it's something you're meant to be doing anyway.
Nevertheless, as I have already stated it is my intention to get as much of the 500m to the employed merc as possible. I have also been informed that it is highly unlikely that the 90% tax rate (if it is adopted) will exist for any large period of time and this tax rate would be reduced to 70%, 50% etc. Until the financial systems between Dust and Eve balance. As this is more likely to be the case, it will be up to the employed Dust merc to decide when they receive payment, taking into consideration the tax rate.
The payment method, timing etc. of the ISK can be easily negotiated once the contract is complete and I know who I am dealing with, and once we know exactly how CCP will allow us to transfer ISK.
Keep in mind that the 500 million ISK need not necessarily be paid in the form of ISK to the Dust merc. Once more development takes place there may be more options available such as trading items. If this were the case then I could send items up the value of 500m to the employed merc. Whatever options are available the payment method, up to the value of 500 million ISK, will be the choice of the employed Dust merc.
Either way, it is nothing to be concerned about. The link between Dust and Eve is already underway and the transfer of ISK and items is inevitable. 500 million ISK is here in Amarr Prime waiting to be paid, the developments forging the links between Eve and Dust that will allow for payment are already in the works, all that remains is a completed contract and a bit of time.
As I'm sure you're not the only one to ask about this could you paste this message on the other forum thread in the usual fashion please. There will be another 10m added to your IOU upon completion. You're doing a good job and making a tidy profit for a Dust merc. Continue and I believe I will have future work for you once this contract is complete. Carrying with it a more entertaining wage packet.

Avril Lavigne, Chad Kroeger Wed in South of France!
After a weekend of false reports, Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger finally married on Monday!
Why July 1? According to People magazine, it's a nod to their native country … July 1 is Canada Day. The date also marks their one-year-anniversary.
Will 'Bachelorette' Desiree Hartsock Get Married on TV?
But they didn't tie the knot there. Instead, Avril, 28, and Chad, 38, said "I do" in the South of France.
A source tells Us Weekly that the reception was so fun, it lasted until 6 a.m. the following morning. "It was a wild, all-night party with drinking, dancing, incredible food and lots of laughter and tears of happiness."
Kim Surprises Kanye With Unbelievable Father's Day Gift
Although there aren't too many details on the guest list just yet, the "Here's to Never Growing Up" singer did tell On Air with Ryan Seacrest in April that it was going to be "a lot of close friends and family, it's sort of smaller but it's going to be quite spectacular. There's a theme to it, we're going pretty big; but Chad doesn't even know everything yet!"
At the time, she also revealed how the Nickelback frontman proposed after just one month of dating.
5 Most Bizarrely Amazing Things to See and Do in Canada
As she walked into the studio where they had been working on her upcoming album, he was putting a picture in to her scrapbook, "And I was like 'What is he doing?'… And all of a sudden I walk over and he had taken a photo of himself holding the ring box and put the Polaroid in my scrapbook and because I had stickers everywhere he put in 'Will you marry me?' It was really romantic."
Watch Avril and Chad dish on their wedding plans below (skip ahead to the :59 mark).

Your Thought Cycle
When we encounter stressful situations, sometimes we may tell ourselves negative things that only increase or maintain our stress. Research shows that our thoughts affect our feelings, which then affect our behavior.
Here's an example: You are studying for a midterm. You just took a quiz in class and received a poor grade. The following unhealthy cycle occurs:
You can reduce stress by tracking your thoughts and becoming more aware of how they affect your mood and your actions. Increasing awareness is the first step in making a change for the better! You have the power to change your thoughts so that they are more positive and lead to feeling better and making healthy choices.
Here's an alternative, more positive cycle using the same example:

James vs. Games: Ninja Gaiden 2, For Real This Time
The last time Mitch made James play Ninja Geiden 2, it went well, because it was only the demo mode of the game, and the demo is easy. This time, he's going to play the real game, and every time he dies Mitch will put a clothespin somewhere on his body, including his face. It will go the way you think it will go.

There are many waterfalls nearby. This one is unnamed; probably because it is only 6" tall. Kind of reminds me of Ansel Adams "Fern Spring"
Great pictures. Thank you. It is always interesting to see how another person visualizes the same geography. No one right or wrong, just interesting view points. Thank you for putting them in the thread. I hope they will encourage new folks to join us and try their view points. I hope other regulars will add their work to show us their thoughts.

I'll re post those, they are not showing up for me either.
One thing I wanted to emphasize is that no matter how many times one visits the sites around here, they can be dramatically different on each occasion and repeated visits are always warranted in my opinion. For example, the cave only looked like that probably for a few hours that day until all the ice melted.
Here is the cave:
Here is a repost of the "Fueling our Future" service station. Again, it was different each time I visited it (in fact I used to get gas there). Now I think it may be totally gone.

A few points to be aware of.
- Never use your mower on or near steep slopes.
- If mowing in a particularly sandy area (such as sand dunes, golf links or some building sites), sand erosion can wear away the flail knives faster than expected. It is important to therefore perform regular checks.
- After moving the first 25 metres on a new setting, stop and check the cut to ensure the mower is adjusted to your satisfaction.
- Never make sharp turns whilst mowing.

Dion Fortune, one of the most striking, enigmatic, and least known women of the twentieth century, can be credited for much of what we consider to be "New Age" today. To get to the essence of her for the new reader, how can she be summed up? Alan Richardson, author of Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune: Logos of the Aeon, Shakti of the Age, discusses just why we should credit DF.

Most magicians have a routine they follow prior to casting a spell: creating a ritual space, casting a circle, and consulting a Book of Shadows. From where do these practices come? David Rankine, co-author of The Veritable Key of Solomon, discusses how the Key of Solomon helped shape ritual as we know it today.

Continuing a months-long trend, Sacramento and California saw year-over-year gains in job vacancies advertised online in February, according to the latest statistics released by the Conference Board.
However, month-to-month totals declined in Sacramento, the state and the nation.
The board said 28,800 ads were posted in Sacramento last month, up from 25,600 in February 2012 but down from 29,000 in January this year.
Sacramento dropped from second to third nationwide in the number of unemployed people per advertised job vacancy, with a 3.6-to-1 ratio. That trails only Riverside's 6.83-to-1 and Las Vegas' 3.86-to-1 figures. The national rate is 2.42-to-1.
Statewide, there were 572,800 ads in February, down from 577,900 in January but up from 521,000 in February 2012.
Nationally, the board said ads dipped 44,400 from January to February, to 5,056,700.

Tom Bianchi: Fire Island Pines
By OUTTraveler Editors
Photos courtesy of D.A.P.
"After knocking on too many more locked doors, I put the photos away in a box. The Pines was ground zero as AIDS exploded about that time. That was 40 years ago. A horrific amount of the life recorded in my pictures was consumed in the chaos of the crisis within a few years. I could not have imagined then that my Polaroids would so suddenly become a record of a lost world—my box of pictures a mausoleum, too painful to visit. When I reopened the box decades later, I found friends and lovers playing and smiling. Alive again." —Tom Bianchi

My girls would have turned inside out with embarrassment if they'd seen me. After completing chemotherapy and radiation treatment for my bile duct cancer, I had a moment when I simply felt like dancing around my house. So I did.
Maybe it was the beautiful, blue-sky spring day, with the redbuds, dogwoods and tulips bringing a burst of color and life to the East Tennessee hills, where I live. Perhaps it was the beat of the music pouring out of the speakers as I watched the sun set from our deck.
It could simply have been the two-and-a-half months of just plain living life -- waking up to the sun shining on the ridge across the cove, working alongside my colleagues, attending industry events and board meetings, reading a novel and holding hands with my husband at the beach, helping my oldest daughter and her husband move to their new home, working out at the gym, going to my younger daughter's track meets, and spending time with friends talking about everything BUT my cancer treatments.
How I felt during cancer treatment
There I was, dancing around the house like nobody was watching. And thank God, no one was watching, except for my two very confused, but thoroughly excited, dogs. After all, as much as I like to dance, I've never been known for my moves!
'I refuse to let this cancer define me'
Both then and now, I refuse to let this cancer define me, or worse yet, confine me. I don't worry about what the upcoming tests and CT scans might reveal. I can't do anything about that right now. It's out of my hands.
What I can do is live every day to its fullest, soak in every sweet note, admire every revelation of nature, cherish every loved one and dance like no one is watching.

EPS should now come in between 44 and 55 cents, their previous guidance in the last conference call was for 37 to 52 cents.
Now, neither one of those numbers is really impressing anyone -- at $16 you're still looking at an awfully high PE for a company that is expected to have a very weak year.
But the stock is up about 10% as I type this, partly because they raised guidance for this year and largely, I think, because people are now starting to think about 2007. The short term mentality of Wall Street would have allowed us to buy into Marvel's expected blockbuster 2007 at very low prices in 2005 ... no surprise there, of course.
This year, Marvel's stock may ebb and flow with their licensed feature films, but now the fact that 2007 should be a great year for them is starting to get some attention -- Spiderman 3 will be out that year among other expected solid films, their new toy contract goes into effect, and they'll be providing us by then with some stronger visibility into the casting and stories for their first few self-produced films moving forward through 2008. CNNMoney ran an article on this potential as well recently, which probably reflects this new tide of cautious optimism for Marvel that's playing out in force today.
To be honest, I was hoping that they would continue to downplay 2006 -- which will see an Xmen film and could be much more successful than we're guessing. I would like to own a little more Marvel, and I'll be looking for depressed prices later this year to get a chance to buy in before the good news for 2007 and beyond really gets priced in.

The Mayfield Clinic treats 70 people each year with arteriovenous malformations (AVM), cavernomas, and AV fistulas of the brain.
We are one of the largest treatment and research centers for diseases involving the blood vessels of the brain (cerebrovascular diseases). Through our affiliation with the University of Cincinnati Cerebrovascular Disease & Stroke Center, Precision Radiotherapy, and other premier hospitals in the Greater Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky area, we offer patients all treatment options: surgical removal, endovascular embolization, and radiosurgery.
Our team includes neurosurgeons, interventional neuroradiologists, endovascular surgeons, and radiation oncologists.
To make an appointment call 513-221-1100.
Endovascular describes the minimally invasive technique of accessing the AVM from within the bloodstream, specifically during angiography, to treat the vessels with coils or glues.

An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in the brain or spine. Some AVMs have no specific symptoms and little or no risk to one's life or health, while others cause severe and devastating effects when they bleed. Treatment options range from conservative watching to aggressive surgery, depending on the type, symptoms, and location of the AVM.
Normally blood flows from the heart through large arteries to all areas of the body. The arteries branch and get smaller until they become a capillary, which is just a single cell thick. The capillary bed is where the blood exchanges oxygen and nutrients with the body tissues and picks up waste. The blood travels from the capillary bed back to the heart through veins. In an AVM, arteries connect directly to veins without a capillary bed in between (Fig. 1).
Figure 1. An AVM is a tangled bundle of blood vessels where arteries connect directly to veins with no capillary bed between. This creates a system of multiple feeding arteries, the tangle or nidus, and enlarged draining veins. Intracerebellar hematomas (ICHs) and tumors can also cause bleeding into brain tissue.
This creates a problem called a high-pressure shunt or fistula. Veins are not able to handle the pressure of the blood coming directly from the arteries. The veins stretch and enlarge as they try to accept the extra blood. The weakened blood vessels can rupture and bleed and are also more likely to develop aneurysms. The surrounding normal tissues may be damaged as the AVM steals blood from those areas. There are four types of AVMs:
Arteriovenous malformation abnormal tangle of blood vessels where arteries shunt directly into veins with no intervening capillary bed; high pressure.
Cavernoma abnormal cluster of enlarged capillaries with no significant feeding arteries or veins; low pressure.
Venous malformation abnormal cluster of enlarged veins resembling the spokes of a wheel with no feeding arteries; low pressure, rarely bleed and usually not treated.
Capillary telangiectasia abnormal capillaries with enlarged areas (similar to cavernoma); very low pressure.
AVMs can form anywhere in the body and cause symptoms based on their location. Brain AVMs can occur on the surface (also called cortical), deep (in the thalamus, basal ganglia, or brainstem), and within the dura (the tough protective covering of the brain). Dural AVMs are more accurately called arteriovenous fistulas (AVF). The veins of the brain drain into venous sinuses, blood filled areas located in the dura mater, before leaving the skull and traveling to the heart. In an AVF there is a direct connection between one or more arteries and veins or sinuses. Dural AV fistulas and carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCF) are the most common AVFs.
Spinal AVMs can occur on the surface (extramedullary) or within the spinal cord (intramedullary) and are classified into 4 groups:
Type 1 - (most common) is a dural arteriovenous fistula. They usually have a single arterial feeder and are thought to cause symptoms by venous hypertension.
Type 2 (also called glomus) is intramedullary and consists of a tightly compacted nidus over a short segment of the spinal cord.
Type 3 (also called juvenile) is an extensive AVM with abnormal vessels both intramedullary and extramedullary.
Type 4 - are intradural extramedullary arteriovenous fistulas on the surface of the cord
The symptoms of AVMs vary depending on their type and location. While migraine-like headaches and seizures are general symptoms, most AVMs do not show symptoms (asymptomatic) until a bleed occurs. Common signs of brain AVMs are:
Sudden onset of a severe headache, vomiting, stiff neck (described as "worst headache of my life")
Migraine-like headaches
Bruit: an abnormal swishing or ringing sound in the ear caused by blood pulsing through the AVM
Common signs of spinal AVMs are:
Sudden, severe back pain
Weakness in the legs or arms
AVMs damage the brain or spinal cord in three basic ways:
AVMs can rupture and bleed into the braincalled an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or it can bleed into the space between the brain and skullcalled a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Small AVMs (less than 3 cm) are more likely to rupture than large ones. The bleeding can cause a stroke.
AVMs can grow large and create pressure against the surrounding brain, resulting in seizures and hydrocephalus. This is more common in large AVMs.
AVMs can reduce the amount of oxygen delivered to nearby tissues. Because the blood flows directly from the artery to the vein, cells that normally get oxygen from the capillaries begin to deteriorate.
The risk of AVM bleeding is 2 to 3% per year. Death from the first hemorrhage is between 10 to 30%. Once a hemorrhage has occurred, the AVM is 9 times more likely to bleed again during the first year.
Patients often want to know their lifetime risk of bleeding if they're weighing the risks and benefits of having surgery. Using the following formula one can calculate their risk (1):
Lifetime risk (%) = 105 - patient's age
Lifetime risk (%) = 105 - patient's age
For example, a 25-year-old man has an 80% lifetime risk of bleeding (at least once). Many factors affect this percentage, including where the AVM is located and what type of AVM it is. It's best to talk to your doctor about your own individual risk.
AVMs of the brain and spine are congenital (present at birth) and relatively rare. Approximately 300,000 (.14%) Americans have AVMs, but only 12% of those experience symptoms. They affect both men and women at about the same rate. They can occur at all ages, but most often cause symptoms between 20 and 40 years of age. AVMs account for about 2% of all hemorrhagic strokes each year.
Whether you or a loved one was brought to the emergency room with a ruptured AVM or are considering treatment options for an unruptured AVM, the doctors will learn as much about your symptoms, current and previous medical problems, current medications, family history, and perform a physical exam. Diagnostic tests are used to help determine the AVM's location, size, type, and involvement with other structures.
Computerized Tomography (CT ) scan is a noninvasive X-ray to view the anatomical structures within the brain to detect blood in or around the brain. A newer technology called CT angiography involves the injection of contrast into the blood stream to view the arteries of the brain. This type of test provides the best pictures of blood vessels through angiography and soft tissues through CT.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)scan is a noninvasive test, which uses a magnetic field and radio-frequency waves to give a detailed view of the soft tissues of your brain. An MRA (Magnetic Resonance Angiogram) is the same non-invasive study, except it is also an angiogram, which means it also examines the blood vessels, as well as the structures of the brain.
Angiogram is an invasive procedure, where a catheter is inserted into an artery and passed through the blood vessels to the brain. Once the catheter is in place, a contrast dye is injected into the bloodstream and the X-ray images are taken (Fig. 2).
Figure 2. Angiogram depicts a large AVM in the parietal lobe of the brain. Feeding arteries lead to a tangled nidus that shunt blood directly into a large draining vein.
Figure 2. Angiogram depicts a large AVM in the parietal lobe of the brain. Feeding arteries lead to a tangled nidus that shunt blood directly into a large draining vein.
Surgery, endovascular therapy, and radiosurgery can be used alone or in combination to treat an AVM. Endovascular embolization is often performed before surgery to reduce the AVM size and risk of operative bleeding. Radiosurgery or embolization may be used after surgery to treat any remaining portions of the AVM. Your neurosurgeon will discuss with you all the options and recommend a treatment that is best for your individual case.
If there have been no previous hemorrhages, the doctor may decide to observe the patient, which may include using anti-convulsants to prevent seizures and medication to lower blood pressure.
Radiosurgery aims a precisely focused beam of radiation at the abnormal vessels. The procedure takes several hours of preparation and one hour to deliver the radiation. The patient goes home the same day. After six months to two years, the vessels gradually close off and are replaced by scar tissue. The advantage of this treatment is no incision and the procedure is painless. The disadvantages are that it works best with smaller AVMs and may take a long time to show effect (during which time risk of hemorrhage exists).
In a recent long-term study done at Mayo Clinic, 73% of patients had excellent or good outcomes after radiosurgery and were protected from the risk of future bleeding (2).
Endovascular Therapy
Endovascular treatment uses small catheters inserted into your blood vessels to deliver glue or other obstructive materials into the AVM so that blood no longer flows through the malformation (Fig. 3). It is performed in the angiography suites of the Radiology Department by a Neuro Interventionalist. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. A small incision is made in the groin and a catheter is inserted into an artery then passed through the blood vessels to the feeding arteries of the AVM. Occluding material, either coil or acrylic glue, is passed through the catheter into the AVM. The procedure time can vary, and the patient remains in the hospital several days for observation. The advantage of this treatment is it's less invasive than surgery and can be used to treat deep or inoperable AVMs. Disadvantages include risk of embolic stroke from the catheter and rebleeding since the AVM is not completely obliterated. Multiple treatments may be necessary.
Figure 3. During an endovascular procedure, a microcatheter is inserted into the arteries feeding the AVM. Materials, such as glue or coils, are inserted into the abnormal arteries to block the flow of blood into the AVM nidus.
Using general anesthesia, a surgical opening is made in the skull, called a craniotomy. The brain is gently retracted so that the AVM may be located. Using a variety of techniques such as laser and electrocautery, the AVM is shrunken and dissected from normal brain tissue. The length of stay in the hospital varies between 5 to 7 days with some short-term rehabilitation. The type of craniotomy performed depends on the size and location of the AVM. The option of surgery also depends on the general health of the patient. The advantage of surgical treatment is that a cure is immediate if all the AVM is removed. Disadvantages include risk of bleeding, damage to nearby brain tissue, and stroke to other areas of the brain once removed.
Clinical trials are research studies in which new treatments—drugs, diagnostics, procedures, and other therapies—are tested in people to see if they are safe and effective. Research is always being conducted to improve the standard of medical care. Information about current clinical trials, including eligibility, protocol, and locations, are found on the Web. Studies can be sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (see clinicaltrials.gov) as well as private industry and pharmaceutical companies (see www.centerwatch.com).

Can anybody explain?
when v read it again it and try to see number[0] == number[1] it will give obviously true as the same values were written
Originally posted by Jose Botella: the values of the Integers are not compared with == try: Integer[] ia = { new Integer(5), new Integer(5) }; System.out.println(ia[0]==ia[1]); It will print false because == compares if the two integers are the same object, that is if they occupy the same address in memory. The example prints true because Java Serialization only serilazes and desarializes once a, though it was required to do it twice(because the two references to a). Please read the following by Bruce Eckel about serialization: http://codeguru.earthweb.com/java/tij/tij0116.shtml
say variable a's reference is at memory location 2000. so numbers[0] = numbers[1] = 2000 when we write the numbers object. so when we read it back we will get 2000 as each array element.

Is virtualization the answer for the push to consolidate data centers? A growing number of agencies and IT experts think so.
Virtualization, for example, is enabling the Armys Program Executive Office for Aviation to run more than 100 virtual desktops on a converged storage and compute architecture, with an eye toward moving 80 percent of PEO Aviations 3,500 desktop users to the virtualized environment. The project has so far allowed the office to replace 800 desktop computers with a single server.
This is part of the migratory path that we have seen through the virtualized initiatives of the past 10 years, said Ben Bourbon, vice president of defense at CDW-G. We are seeing an ongoing transition from silos into a virtual space.
Virtual desktop infrastructure is not without its own challenges, however. Network capacity is a big one, as is storage. Still, in many cases, the benefits make those challenges worthwhile to solve.
If you look at whats going on in the world, organizations are still being asked to do more with less, said Matthew Brisse, a research vice president at Gartner. So now its all about agility.

Effects of Shape and Strain Distribution of Quantum Dots on Optical Transition in the Quantum Dot Infrared Photodetectors
1 National Lab for Infrared Physics, Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 500 Yutian Road, 200083, Shanghai, China
2 Department of Theoretical Chemistry, School of Biotechnology, Royal Institute of Technology, AlbaNova, Stockholm, 106 91, Sweden
Nanoscale Research Letters 2008, 3:534-539 doi:10.1007/s11671-008-9175-8Published: 21 October 2008
We present a systemic theoretical study of the electronic properties of the quantum dots inserted in quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs). The strain distribution of three different shaped quantum dots (QDs) with a same ratio of the base to the vertical aspect is calculated by using the short-range valence-force-field (VFF) approach. The calculated results show that the hydrostatic strain ɛHvaries little with change of the shape, while the biaxial strain ɛBchanges a lot for different shapes of QDs. The recursion method is used to calculate the energy levels of the bound states in QDs. Compared with the strain, the shape plays a key role in the difference of electronic bound energy levels. The numerical results show that the deference of bound energy levels of lenslike InAs QD matches well with the experimental results. Moreover, the pyramid-shaped QD has the greatest difference from the measured experimental data.

Fears Of Poverty
Our discussion now proceeds by a series of observations. Poverty a Crime. I hold that poverty is a social crime. Poverty is a crime, not of the many against the one, but of the many against the many. Poverty is the one universal sign of incompetence, the sign that points to the prosperous multitude rather than to the unfortunate individual.
Fear Of Final Failure
The fear of failure has its roots in two misconceptions which are everywhere prevalent. You are invited steadily to examine these misconceptions until you fully perceive and feel their utter falsity.
Fear Of Loss Of Friends
Your friends are born, not made. Physically explained, friendship is due to a certain closeness of harmony between two individuals.This harmony obtains fundamentally in the etheric movements of the personal atmospheres. If the harmony etheric tends to merging of movements because all movements in one person fit perfectly those of another person, the friendship will be that of love.
A Perpetual Tonic
Fear hinders the free vibration of the life through the body by paralysing the life-force which is in it. To fear is to lessen your spirit's hold on its godhood. To fear is to lose confidence in the power of your own spirit to hold you and to keep you in perfect harmony.
Bird Babies
THE lawn was very shady and quiet, for the after-noon sun did not pierce the thick leaves of the elms which grew above it. It was a warm July day, and so still that one could hear all the tiny sounds of insects and birds without difficulty, I found it hard to read, and lay in the hammock watching the clouds idly, thinking of nothing at all.
And The Cow Jumped Over The Moon
SHE had been a pet before she came to us, we were told, and everything about her proved that it was true. She was a beautiful creature, part Jersey, part Holstein, cream-colored, with the dark head which is characteristic of Jersey cattle.
A Puppy's First Lessons
DOGS? Well, I should say there were dogs: dogs of every size, of every shape, and of every color; dogs of high degree, and dogs of low degree ; dogs who looked like Dignity and Impudence in that famous picture by Sir Edwin Landseer, which you will all see one day if you have not seen it yet; dogs who were shaggy, and dogs who were smooth...
A Donkey In A Police Court
A TRUE STORY MY master had had a more than usually successful morning's round; my load was disposed of, and we were returning leisurely down Regent street, when he was suddenly accosted by a man who was walking on the pavement.
A Dog On His Travels
ONCE decided, it was evident that the sooner I set off the better; because the road not being familiar to me, it was important that I should travel it again before all traces of our former journey were lost. As yet, we had not been so long in London that I had reason to think I should recognise the principal turnings, besides various objects on the road.
A Monkey's Home
I WAS a very happy little fellow when I lived with my mother in the wilds of South America. I used to find no end of amusement playing with my little neighbor monkeys among the branches of the trees, or swinging on the vines that grew in luxurious abundance in our forest home.
Collie Of The Fog-bell
One day, after some deliberation, I was taken into the dory. I must confess it was dreadfully rough when we left the mouth of the breakwater for the open bay. Our dory bobbed about like a ball on the swell and cross-currents it met.
Master St. Elmo's First Friends
HOW do you do, little people? Permit me to introduce myself. I am St. Elmo, a tan-colored English greyhound, and I am six years old. I have a wide, white collar around my neck, a white shirt-front, and white stockings to the knees...
Hiram, Jingo And Baby
THE increasing winds and cool evenings warned the pleasure-seekers at the mountains and seaside that they must return to furnace-heated houses and indoor life. The summer had been a delight. Men had brought their families, their servants, and their household pets their dogs and cats; they had lounged under the trees, fished off the rocks, walked on the beach, been children again with their children, and now must be back at desk, and store, and the cares and conventionalities of city life.
Moti Guj — Mutineer
ONCE upon a time there was a coffee-planter in India who wished to clear some forest land for coffee-planting. When he had cut down all the trees and burned the underwood, the stumps remained. Dynamite is expensive; and slow fire is slow.
Cats I Have Known
I DO not remember whether amongst the animals that I figured in the Noah's Arks of our childhood a pair of cats were included. I fancy not.
About Beavers
THE beaver may be said to occupy amongst mammals the place that ants do amongst insects. J. G. Wood says of him: Of the Social Main malia, he takes the first rank, and is the best possible type of that group. There are other social animals, such as the various marmots and others...
DURING my explorations in Muskoka and the north, I have had a good opportunity of studying the moose while living in its natural haunts. The name moose is derived from moosa, an Indian word meaning wood-eater.
Virginian Deer
PERHAPS no species of wild animal inhabiting Muskoka deserves to be regarded with more interest than the subject of our present chapter, the common or Virginian deer; its symmetrical form, graceful. bound, and rushing speed, when flying before the hounds, excites the admiration of every one, though he be ever so dull an observer.
Some Curious Animals Of South America
MANY years ago there walked into a Liverpool broker's office a quiet, shrewd-looking individual, who asked for a sample of some strange kind of wool he had seen in one of the dock-warehouses.
Jaguars — Capybaras — Armadillos — Deer — Horned Cattle
Steaming up the Panama or the Uruguay (mighty twins that, united, form the River Plate) to Ascunçion, or to Salto, the traveller sometimes — especially after floods —meets with floating islands, camelotas, composed of water-plants which bind together the soft alluvial soil, and thickly covered with low trees and bushes, the growth of years.
Pumas - Tapirs - Ant Eaters - Sloths
Pumas or Cougars.— Puma, the native name in Peru; Cougar, in Brazil.
Curious Animals Of Australia
MARSUPIALS of gigantic size, larger than a horse, existed on the Australian Island Continent in bygone ages, and were succeeded by others of more moderate proportions.
An Orphan Bear
HE was born over a score of years ago, away up in the wildest part of the wild West, on the head of the Little Piney, above where the Palette Ranch is now. His Mother was just an ordinary Silvertip, living the quiet life that all Bears prefer, minding her own business and doing her duty by her family, asking no favors of any one excepting to let her alone.
Mental Capacity Of Animals
OUT of the depths of his egotism, man occasionally evolves the conception that he is the only animal that can think and carry thought beyond one decimal place. With precisely the same bones in his skeleton as a chimpanzee, he sometimes flatters himself into the belief that somehow his gray-matter is different, and that the animals below him cannot reason, as he sometimes does.
Animal Conscience
THAT a moral sense may exist in animals we think no one who has ever kept dogs will deny. It is not easy to compare it, however, with the moral sense as it exists in men. If we seta dog's conscience beside a man's, the first thing we shall notice is that the former is upside down.
Coloration Of Some Animals
WHEN the meaning and purport of the coloration of mammals first began to receive careful attention on the part of naturalists, there was a tendency to classify brilliant markings like those of the African bushbucks, bongo, and kudus as recognition markings - that is to say, markings designed to enable all members of a species to recognise with facility their own kind.
How Arctic Animals Turn White
ALTHOUGH I have not the details of any one particular case before me, so many instances are chronicled in which the hair of human beings, under the influence of strong mental emotion due to terror or grief, has become suddenly blanched within a single night or some such period of time, that the occasional occurrence of such a phenomenon must apparently be accepted as a fact.
Birds From A Door-yard In New England
TO be a lover of birds is in itself a recommendation. I shall not hesitate, therefore, to speak freely to the reader of the birds whose acquaintance I have made from my door-yard. I shall introduce him as it were into my household and make him acquainted with many of my most valued friends, some of them my constant neighbors, others regular visitors or passing acquaintances.
THE happiest bird of our spring, and one that rivals the European lark, in my estimation, is the bobolincon, or bobolink, as he is commonly called. He arrives at that choice period of the year, which, in this latitude, answers to the description of the month of May so often given by the poets.
Arredondo Sparrow Hawk
AREDONDO GRANT is the name of a tract of country of perhaps forty thousand acres, lyingin central Florida. It is a region of low, rolling sand hills, dotted with numerous shallow ponds and thinly clad in forests of yellow pine. Many small farms and orange groves add variety to the landscape.

BLM's new gate belies improved access to land
• Our view: Despite a gate aimed at cutting dumping, new trails are bringing more users to Keswick Lake's east side.
It's strange behavior for the Bureau of Land Management to ask the county supervisors' permission to gate a road and, after the answer was no, go ahead and do it anyway just a year later.
BLM officials say they have since learned that the last mile or so of Walker Mine Road, west of Shasta Lake, is under federal, not local, jurisdiction. Thus, they never needed the county's say-so, which they originally sought in April 2006, to close it.
We hope the BLM is right.
Bureaucratic two-step aside, cutting off motorized access to the neighborhood's most convenient illegal dump site makes sense. It's a rare dumper who packs in a burned-out refrigerator on horseback or lugs an old mattress on the handlebars of a mountain bike.
And the rutted road down to Keswick Reservoir is still open to travelers on horseback, bicycle or foot.
Closed roads anywhere are nothing to cheer, but the abuse of public property sometimes forces land managers' hands.
And users aren't being shut out wholesale. The BLM, working with private partners, has greatly improved access to the east side of Keswick Lake this year. The dust is settling on a new trail from Quartz Hill Road to the trailhead at the new gate that cuts off Walker Mine Road, and plans are in the works to extend the trail up to Shasta Dam.
When complete, it will be an epic loop around Keswick Lake that greatly increases the public's enjoyment of public lands, including fishing access to the banks of the reservoir. It's hard to complain about that.
As more bikes and horses show up on the trails and the BLM tries to steer quads and motorcycles elsewhere, hard feelings from longtime users are inevitable. It should muffle the grumbling a little, though, that the agency has expanded its off-road routes across the river.
The Redding area is growing and residents' recreation habits are changing. We can all live together, but it might require a few tough decisions -- even the occasional locked gate.

Michael Cera returns in the same role he plays every movie, but is that really bad? Not for the present. It works for him. I came to this movie hoping for either a Juno-ish or Superbad-esq movie and was not disappointed. I feel as though I'm watching Michael Cera the character grow up. As for the movie, what was your most memorable night? Mine always revolved around a beat up car that surfed places around town. We make profound moments by the most mundane experiences. Above everything else, that is what this movie is about, un-wasted youth. I like the movie poster. It is the best description, it says to me "we are happening in the world." I don't have much to say about Kat Dennings' portrayal. She played it well. The character itself started off pretty interesting but ended quickly with a cliche producer's daughter's conundrum. The truly best character's were the supporting cast, Ari Graynor (Caroline), Rafi Gavron (Dev), Aaron Yoo (Thom), and Jonathan B. Wright (Lethario, ps I have always really loved that name and am so happy it is being used.) Of course the three men can all be lumped together as Nick's fairy godfathers but deep down inside I know there's a little Caroline just waiting to burst out of me. Each of the characters had their own little quirks that helped stage this realistically toned movie. Most importantly, this movie will make you think twice if you have ever shared a piece of gum with your friend. If you skipped Juno or Superbad, do not miss Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist.

Rooms are spacious, linens are fine, and the art collection is impressive at this heritage-rated villa that was built for a local trader in the late 1800s. The owner has traveled extensively, and international influences sit nicely with the vernacular. Watch for the original leather wall linings and ornate leadlight windows. This grand old house has served time as a convent, a private home, and it's now your turn to enjoy the character. Friendly hosts, super continental breakfast and fresh muffins add those extra touches. The Red Room has an impressively large bathroom.

Formerly the National Film Theatre, this much-loved four-screen venue on the South Bank in Waterloo became the BFI Southbank in 2007. For film lovers who know their Kubrick from their Kurosawa, this is London's best cinema. Certainly, it's the city's foremost cinema for director retrospectives and seasons programmed to showcase international work or films of specific genres or themes. It's the flagship venue of the British Film Institute and plays home each year to the BFI's London Film Festival and to the BFI's seasons, such as 2014's celebration of sci-fi. BFI Southbank also regularly hosts Q&As with some of the world's leading filmmakers. The venue itself is a hot spot, with two bar-restaurants (one overlooking the river, nestled under Waterloo Bridge), a bookshop (good for DVDs too) and a library.

The home of London cinema. It is a place where you can feel part of a community of film lovers, young and old, rich and poor, of every background. There is no bigger thrill than seeing your cinematic icons where they belong: on the big screen in front of a packed house. Seeing 'It's a Wonderful Life' at the BFI should be a London rite-of-passage.

IOS 8 Images Have Leaked & We Want It NOW
While the interface looks mostly the same as the operating system's current iteration, there are some brand-new apps that have us foaming at the mouth. TextEdit, for instance, would allow users to type long-form documents on their iPhones with all the formatting capabilities of a word processor, so your journal (and, ahem, our line of work) is about to go mobile. Another buzzworthy addition is the long-rumored HealthBook, which may link with Apple's upcoming wearable devices to track health and fitness metrics, like calories burned, heart rate, and maybe even hydration and blood glucose levels.
The unveiling of iOS 8 is still months away, so if these leaks are indeed legitimate, Apple needs to seriously tighten up its security. Or not, right TD Beta? (Digital Spy)

Found! Kim Kardashian's Mint Dress
Found! Kim Kardashian's Mint Dress
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
Kim Kardashian wore this lovely Mint Artsy Yoke Dress, on sale for $290 (originally $385) to the recent Sicko premiere in LA. I'm so used to seeing Kim in skin-tight getups that it's a bit weird to find her in something so loose and demure. Nevertheless, the multicolored dress is very girly and would look great for both day or night.

italianbarbie 8 years
The dress is super cute, but since she has big boobs & it's an empire waist, it makes her look a little pregnant (like the 1st trimester). It would look really good on her if it was worn with a brown high waisted belt to cinch in the waist & give an hourglass figure. She's just wearing it wrong.

who is that girl? why do I keep seeing her everywhere? and i dont care for the dress either. it makes her look prego and i think it was intended for someone less curvy.
