Wheat prices trended higher his week due, in part, to the government reducing projected U.S. wheat ending stocks for this year by 30 million bushels. For the week, March wheat gained more than 65 cents per bushel, while the nearby corn contract moved 12 cents higher. USDA reduced its estimate of U.S. soybean ending stocks and increased its export projection both by 20 million bushels. But the market traded in a sideways fashion. For the week, March soybeans lost a penny, while the nearby meal contract lost $2.50 per ton. In the softs, cotton trended lower again this week with the December contract posting a loss of 34 cents. In livestock, the April cattle contract lost two cents. Nearby feeders were down $1.30. And the April lean hog contract lost $2.83. In other markets of interest, the Euro gained 319 basis points against the dollar. Crude oil set record highs all week and closed above $110 per barrel on Friday. Comex gold exceeded $1000 per ounce before settling slightly lower. And the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index gained nearly 22 points to close at 715.00.
Pearson: Here now to lend us their insights are two of our regular market analysts, Erin Golly and Virgil Robinson. Welcome back you two.
Golly: Thank you.
Robinson: Thanks, Mark.
Pearson: Good to see you Erin, Virgil. Wow, I guess it's time for me to start pulling out those gold fillings with this gold price over $1000, Virgil. But let's talk first about the wheat market. USDA, again, adjusting the numbers a little bit. Looks like wheat consumption continues to outpace supply and prices have been high and pulled back some. What is your outlook now for wheat?
Robinson: I think there's some weather concerns in select areas as well, Mark, kind of underpinning values. Interestingly enough, though, tonight's closes in both Chicago and Kansas City the best weekly closes in most of those futures contracts since the inception of those contracts or the beginning of those contracts. Pretty difficult for me to say the trend of the market is down. It appears to me Kansas City and Chicago wheat futures headed for another test of those all-time highs, $13.50 and $13.00 respectively.
Pearson: And you mentioned the weather problem, there have been some concerns. Again, we're still early in this whole process but with the weather issues that are out there and all the weather problems we had last year, Virgil, it makes for a very tight world situation doesn't it?
Robinson: Yeah, it does and, again, I think in the southwest in select areas of Texas, Oklahoma and southern Kansas, even parts of Colorado wheat breaking dormancy under some stressful conditions and it be immediate the 30 to 60 day forecast that I've seen, Mark, is not particularly conducive to correcting that. So, I think that certainly underpins the market as well as pretty good demand. Although it's slowed of late it's still relatively strong given the flat price level that we're at and the transportation costs associated with moving that globally.
Pearson: And that's another issue. But as you look at this from a producer's standpoint you're not in a hurry to make sales right now?
Robinson: Well, I've made my sales, Mark, and did some replacement with options strategy. If I had a clean slate tonight I would reconcile myself to the fact that the signs of a top will probably be slow to develop but when they do the reaction in the market will be swift and abrupt. So, reconcile yourself to the fact that if you're maintaining this position in hopes of higher prices, which I think are possible, you may ultimately end up selling this product in a market that is headed down and headed down quickly. So, if you can do that and have the discipline to do that no sales are necessary at this point. Minimum price, I wouldn't argue with that on any of the products we talk about.
Pearson: Let's talk about the next one and that's the corn market. Obviously we're hearing -- and Erin is going to address this in a moment -- what's happening over on the livestock side with these continued strong corn prices and we're hearing about pigs coming down from Canada and there's a lot of issues going on in the livestock side. But one of those is this ongoing systemic issue of these high feed inputs. Are we choking off some demand? And is that where we'll see this corn market soften up? The trend still looks like it's higher too, Virgil, what do you see?
Robinson: Yeah, I agree with you on the trend part of the discussion. I am beginning to see some slower weekly export sales, not disastrous by any means, but slower than the pace that we established early on in the crop year. So, I think there is a little rationing in that regard. Erin will probably address the sow slaughter, the guild slaughter, the cow slaughter, the milk cow slaughter and I'm beginning to see some of that, at least in the work that I keep. So, to answer your question, yes I'm seeing some rationing. Do I think the trend of the corn market is still up? To answer that question, yes. Best weekly closes tonight that we've had since the inception of the contracts in Chicago so pretty difficult for me to tell you the trend of the market is down.
Pearson: A lot of producers are out there saying okay, we can go out there and make some money at these prices. It would be nice to go out to '09 and '10. They're not seeing much opportunity out there on those cash forward contracts, Virgil.
Robinson: A lot of vendors have pulled their markets, their bids in those timeslots so it's pushing the responsibility of risk management to the producer's own portfolio or own account. There are clearly opportunities to establish at least futures prices and assume some type of historical basis in those appropriate timeslots. And I don't have any problem with that as long as the folks can calculate within some degree of accuracy, costs of production and that's difficult to do under current variable costs and the fluctuations going on there.
Pearson: The acreage battle is just continuing to roll on here. What are your thoughts? What do you think we'll see for corn acres when this report comes out at the end of the month?
Robinson: I saw private firms this afternoon suggesting something in the vicinity of about 87 million planted acres, down 6.5% year over year and somewhere in the vicinity of 71 to 72. I'm in that camp. However, at least the model that I maintain and have maintained for years suggesting even a few more soybean acres of that, something in the vicinity of 73 and in corn somewhere in the vicinity of around 86. Now, those are not official numbers, those are just calculations based on work that I keep personally.
Pearson: Again, in terms of if you haven't sold anything yet you probably say get some sales on the books but not to be in a big hurry to move this 2008 crop?
Robinson: I like the idea of minimum price in corn now. The behavior of the markets this week were kind of peculiar, kind of a disconnect between corn and soybeans. The recent behavior in soybean futures anyway has been bearish and suggests to me -- and I may be getting ahead here of your question -- but suggest to me some more downside in the soybean futures market. Will that have effect on corn? Probably to some extent but there can be a significant shifting in those spreads. We've seen it many, many times in years past and that is precisely what I think is underway.
Pearson: And, of course, with the soybeans coming off that's going to be when producers make decisions if we're down sub $13 the split between corn and beans is back into the corn's court for most people.
Robinson: Yeah, are we at a point in time where there are a lot of swing acres that could participate in a change here? Sales numbers would probably suggest not so, not a lot of acres but there will be some certainly. We spoke about this a couple of weeks ago where we saw the new crop soybean ratio, new crop corn ration at around 2.6. Post that week, Mark, it's been nothing but straight south. So, again, the market is concerned about that and this guessing game -- we'll have some insight from the USDA on the 31st of March as well as the stocks in all positions report. But, again, it would be my best opinion year over year pretty significant draw down in corn acres, pretty significant increase in bean acres. I think you move your risk management strategies in that direction. Priority beans first, corn second.
Pearson: And what is your outlook for down in South America and what's happening down there? Everything we're hearing is pretty decent.
Robinson: Yeah, it is. USDA did this week, as you mentioned earlier in the show, suggest soylandia, the sum of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia, biggest crop ever. Now, how it's distributed remains to be seen. They still have the logistic issues but clearly there will be an effort here to satisfy world demand with origins shifting away from the U.S. and I think weekly export sales numbers have begun to underscore that fact towards the southern hemisphere, no question about that.
Pearson: Big South American crop, the trade sure seems to be feeling easier, feeling better about a big soybean crop this year so near-term have we put a high in in this soybean market?
Robinson: Mark, I think some of the technical behavior that I track is leaning in that direction. Strong enough so that if no one -- if clean slate tonight it would warrant, in my opinion, at the very least some type of option strategy. And I know a lot of our listeners don't employ options. But perhaps this is the opportune time to get more educated on that particular risk management strategy. I think it's appropriate, particularly in the bean market given the fact that soybeans, soybean meal and soybean oil all showing signs here that are characteristic and classic in terms of indicating a turn in direction from one direction to the other.
Pearson: And you mentioned the disconnect between corn and beans, a bit of a disconnect between soybeans, soybean oil and the crude oil market which ran up to record territory.
Robinson: Yeah, to some extent that's true, Mark. Again, this is one week or one small period of time. I'm not sure a trend that makes. But clearly your observation is right on the money.
Pearson: Alright, let's talk about the cotton market, Virgil, and what you see happening down there. And they're kind of coming in with the expense of particularly soybean acres when it comes to cotton acres. We've had a big move, we've backed off some. What is your take now in this cotton market?
Robinson: Well, I'm very surprised at the price levels attained in old and new crop cotton. The price behavior after attaining those levels historically stocks to use ratios and simply supply numbers wouldn't warrant and wouldn't sustain these kind of prices. I think there is a euphoria that has gone on in a lot of commodity markets including cotton that maybe has exacerbated price behavior. I would at the very least employ option strategies in new crop and in old, Mark, I'm inclined to sell the cash. Basis has firmed here in some areas. I'd sell the cash and put on some kind of vertical call spread and call it a crop year.
Pearson: Let's move over and talk about the livestock sector. And Erin, as you look at this market and all of this euphoria Virgil has been talking about in high corn, high bean, high wheat prices the flip side of the livestock producer has resulted in hugely expensive, very stressed cash flows. We're upside down. I want to talk about hogs in depth in just a moment but let's talk first about the cattle market. What do you see ahead fed cattle as we sit here tonight? What do you see down the road for that market?
Golly: Well, the fed cattle market has been dealing with a sluggish box beef movement for quite some time and that is due to total meat supplies and the U.S. economy and turmoil. One key thing to watch is if producers continue to market cattle early due to high input costs. If this continues it's going to keep pressure on the spot market which is why I recommend that producers purchase at the money put options through the June timeframe. But looking beyond that point I think there is excellent upside potential for the cattle market due to the accessibility and availability of prime and choice beef this summer. And I do think the acquisitions at GPS are also going to help with the export markets re-opening up this summer. So, I do feel strong about the cattle market, think that we'll be trading cattle well over $1 this fall.
Pearson: Alright, that's great news for cattlemen. They needed a good word. Flip side on the calf market what do you see happening there as far as the calf market is concerned? This is still a small cow herd, we've got droughts out in the west. What is your outlook? Should be pretty bright for a cow-calf producer?
Golly: Well, the cow-calf guys and the feeder market has been placed under a lot of pressure just because of the high inputs. The main factor that would drive prices higher, of course, would be the deferred fed cattle futures which I believe are going to move higher at a later point but right now at this point I believe that producers need to be putting floors underneath the markets just because of the volatility within the grains.
Pearson: Good strategy. Let's talk about hogs. We talked to a lot of pork producers lately, it's not a positive experience because of high meal costs, high corn costs. Weak demand out there, a lot of pork coming in. What do you see? What is happening out there? You've got a special view of that.
Golly: Sure, and I think we're through the tough times on pork prices due to the decreasing total supply going forward, because of all the disease issues we've had to experience in liquidation so far. I believe we're going to see one of the largest cash rallies in hog history probably going to happen after Easter into the May timeframe with a deferred futures testing all-time contract highs at $90. Mark, even with these high prices that I'm forecasting I do not believe the producers are going to be able to be profitable at that time.
Pearson: Even with record high prices?
Golly: Even with that just because the break evens are so high in the corn prices.
Pearson: The old statement always was cheap corn makes for cheap cattle and cheap hogs. The flip side is high priced corn makes for high priced cattle, high priced hogs. Even with that if these input costs remain the same you're saying that the break even for most pork producers is going to be negative?
Golly: I think it is going to be and probably for another six months once we reach those tops in the futures as well.
Pearson: What can you tell those producers? We've had liquidation going on. What about the international situation in Canada and all that, what's happening there?
Golly: We're continuing to see liquidation but it's happening at a lot slower pace than most people thought just because producers have a lot more agreements that they are tied into with sow collapse, with feeder pigs, with packing plants, with the feed mills and so it's going to be a lot slower liquidation than most people thought it was going to be.
Pearson: Of course, we're talking with Virgil about what's going on with this corn market and he's seeing higher trends for both corn and beans. Should we be trying to mitigate some of these losses by covering some feed needs now?
Golly: Sure, actually buying a cash meal for the hogs and your cash corn is very important but purchasing put options underneath of that corn would be, it's actually a very cheap option to do right now and I think you need to keep that put option in for the bottom side protection.
Pearson: Got about 30 seconds, livestock producers, pork producers out there, end of next year -- you see a rally in the cash market soon and much higher the deferred contracts twelve months out?
Golly: I do think so and for the hogs it's probably going to be into next year before we're looking for anything positive. I was looking for about an 18 month cycle of where it's going to be negative losses. We've gone through four years of profitability in the pork production so it's going to be a slow draw down.
Pearson: Well, as usual, some excellent analysis. We appreciate it. Virgil Robinson, thank you. And I'm sure you'd echo a lot of Erin's comments towards getting some feed needs covered on the livestock sector. So, we're going to leave it right there. Erin and Virgil, thank you very much.

This is my first ham...how do I cook it to ensure that it is moist. I will be using Cook's ham - Butt. Thank you so much
Hams from Cooks are already cooked, vis a vis USDA regs. To heat it for serving, put the cut (face) side down in a pan with a bit of water, though I sometimes use white wine. Cook's hams are too sweet for my taste, but you can add a brown sugar on the surface and heat in a 350 oven til at least 145 internal temp. There is so much water pumped into the ham it would be very hard to dry it out.

Fieldcrest's fourth-quarter rally fell just short Saturday as St. Bede battled back after halftime to slip past the Knights 50-49 in the third-place game at the Colmone Classic at Hall.
Drew Barth, who was named to the all-tourney team, led Fieldcrest with 13 points and junior Grant Jochums added 12 for the Knights. Ryan Barth also was an all-tournament selection for Fieldcrest.
Host Hall edged Mendota 56-54 for the tournament title.
In the fifth-place game, Parker Neuhalfen scored almost half his game-high 22 points in the first quarter as Bureau Valley downed Stark County 57-54. All-tournament selection Jake Berchtold's 18 points led Stark County.
Quest Academy's 9-of-10 free throw shooting in the fourth quarter helped it outscore Hall's JV squad by seven points in that frame on the way to a 54-37 victory in the seventh-place game.

If you are fortunate enough to work for MS in its Corporate HQ, they provide a 'bus' called the Connector that links with many of the suburbs around Seattle, including mine. I say 'bus' because it is a luxury coach with power at every seat and open wireless access. I'm blogging from there right now in fact :)
Anyway, this morning the card scanner on the bus was broken, and we all had to sign a sheet to say we'd used the bus (it is registration based), and the joker in front of me signed 'BGates' :)
PingBack from http://www.easycoded.com/working-at-microsoft-the-connector-bus/
Joke's on him if it's BillG he wants to impersonate.
Joke's on you if he really is BGates :)
Ha! Something tells me it wasn't BillG for real! :)

In Bangkok, a foreman named Nuhm is on the prowl for work. On the eve of the Thai New Year, he returns to his birthplace in the north-east of Thailand to attend a wedding. Afterwards, he goes to see his father and the reunion proves to be difficult. While there, he also meets a young woman he was once in love with which stirs up other feelings. News reports on the radio in the background describe riots in other parts of the country. The unfolding narrative is then suddenly broken by a documentary fragment featuring the director's father and older brother. Soon, fiction, reality, and dream-like images become increasingly intertwined. ~ Baseline StudioSystems

My mind is blown by the beutiful blend of colors in this painting...
yup, more robot workers = less human jobs = more money for the employers, coz you dont have to pay robots. I like this a lot its very awesome
Mindbogglingly awesome.
wow amazing dude, great effects and design. the amount of shading and detail would have taken me forever and i don't think i could have made it look this crisp. good job man.
I love the glow and the "atmosphere"... it's a lot cleaner than any bar I've seen... but I guess that's why you want a robot... keeps it tidy. So much glass and reflections, so many lights, so many different figures... no wonder it took two weeks to draw.
This is amazing, i can't stop looking.
Very cool! very enjoyable!

Wisconsin Senate Candidate's Son Says We "Have The Opportunity" To Send Obama Back To Kenya
Jason Thompson, the son of former Governor and Wisconson Senate candidate Tommy Thompson, speaking this morning at a brunch attended RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said that "we have the opportunity to send President Obama back to Chicago — or Kenya." A woman in attendance then chimed in "we are taking donations for that Kenya trip." A spokesman for Thompson did not immediately return a request for comment. Update The Thompson campaign emails: "The Governor has addressed this with his son, just like any father would do. Jason Thompson said something he should not have, and he apologizes." The spokesperson added that Tommy Thompson himself was not in attendance at the event.
- The CIA has officially—but very quietly—admitted that some allegations about its torture program were true.
- The U.S. government is suing Ferguson, Missouri, after the city tried to change a negotiated police reform settlement.
- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina are the latest Republicans to drop out of the 2016 presidential race 🇺🇸

More Than a Game (2009) Trailer
Trailer for More Than a Game:
Follows a high-school basketball team in Akron, Ohio. Its core group of players are four African-American youth from varying backgrounds, playing for the elite, predominantly white school St. Vincent-St. Mary. The boys had played together with the same coach since they were in grade school, developing an unusual chemistry. In the end, one of the players goes on to become an NBA superstar. While still in high school, LeBron James was anointed by Sports Illustrated as "The Chosen One," and scrutiny of the St. Vincent-St. Mary team increased exponentially. Here, we not only see what happened on the court but also what took place between friends in the locker room and outside the game.

For a full report of the day's events – written as a Gotham City Police report – visit this link. The main site also features the simple first teaser for The Dark Knight in high definition Quicktime format – it's little more than an animated logo and some dialogue, though you do get to hear Heath Ledger in his much anticipated role as The Joker.
A new image – as seen above – has also been released, offering a better glimpse at Ledger in costume and in all his homicidal glory.
Personally, I'm a big fan of what we're seeing so far. As much as Batman movie fans have a soft spot for Jack Nicholson's take on the character, it's all too easy to forget sometimes that it's been almost a generation since we last saw The Joker on the big screen. This homicidal maniac being portrayed by Ledger seems to be an entirely different take and significantly more creepy than what we've previously seen on film. My only gripe would be that the viral marketing may prove to hype the character up so much that disappointment ensues come next year.
Hopefully, that won't be the case.
In the meantime, fans can expect more news to come out of Wizard World Chicago between August 9-12.

Why we're angry at Facebook (and what it means for IOD11)
Delaney Turner 270003RQ8K email@example.com | | Tags:  information-insights iod11 #iod11
0 Comments | 2,387 Visits
How did you greet the new and improved Facebook? If you took to Facebook to complain about Facebook and demanded the old Facebook come back, you certainly weren't alone. Last Tuesday's rollout drew what could be a record amount of complaints from the site's 750 million users.
Don't blame Mark Zuckerberg, though. Blame your ancestors instead.
Our brain is a "prediction machine"
According to Huffington Post blogger Michael Taft, the reasons for this response date back millions of years:
Life evolved to gather energy resources, and the purpose of our advanced brains is to predict availability of resources (e.g., benefits) and possible loss of energy resources (e.g., threats). If we think of the brain as a prediction machine (a reductive but useful model), it follows that the brain likes to be correct about its predictions and dislikes being incorrect. [...] Failing at prediction is actually perceived as a threat to the organism (however slightly or subconsciously), and so any surprises or unanticipated changes seem menacing.
In short: we depend on predictions to survive. Being right makes us happy. And we get awfully cranky when our predictions turn out wrong. The fact that so many people (myself included) expressed so much frustration illustrates just how deeply embedded Facebook has become in our daily lives. Facebook's front page is a window on our world. Overnight, many felt that window had been shattered. Nothing was where we expected it to be.
This dynamic doesn't just apply to Facebook. Taft sees the same phenomenon in at play in the fear that often greets new ideas. It also helps explain why we derive so much pleasure from watching movies we know by heart:
Our brains are highly optimized to anticipate outcomes and feel satisfaction and joy when we are proven right. This is why we like to re-encounter favorite movies and books again and again over the years and derive pleasure from them each time.
Finding our "sweet spot"
Taft isn't recommending we rely entirely on predictable events, which would leave us incapable of responding to change of any kind. I'd add that it's also an unwise way to run your organization in our new era of pervasive uncertainty. Instead, Taft points to a "sweet spot" of challenge and ability where we - and, I'd argue, organizations - can operate at peak powers. He cites Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and his concept of flow, "a state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience is so enjoyable that people will continue to do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it."
There are, according to Csikszentmihalyi, nine different elements involved in achieving flow:
Flow and the analytics-driven organization
Csikszentmihalyi is one of the pioneers of the scientific study of happiness. But this happy state of flow also sounds a lot like that of an analytics-driven organization - the kind you can build with the IBM solutions you're going to see down at Information On Demand next month in Las Vegas. In the hundreds upon hundreds of breakout sessions and EXPO demonstrations you'll see how you can add the capabilities to make your outcomes a little more predictable. You'll learn about the Analytics Quotient and the steps you can take to achieving a flow-like Leader staus. You'll see how to enable your workforce to better manage the relentless pace of change. And you'll see how turning insight into action makes everyone that much happier.
Change may not be pleasant, but it's the only way we know of to move forward. On a smarter planet, smarter software can mitigate the pain and help you flow forward as well. The question to you now is, are you ready to move forward as well?

Sedrick Ellis was a Bear for just a matter of hours on Wednesday but the veteran defensive tackle already knew the 2013 schedule for his new team. One game, at least.
"I think you know which game I'm excited about," Ellis said, laughing.
The "which game" is the Oct. 6 game in Soldier Field against the New Orleans Saints, the team that made Ellis the No. 7-overall pick of the 2008 draft. Ellis had a few good years with the Saints before changes in the coaching staff produced changes in the defensive schemes, which were accelerating this year as New Orleans switches to a 3-4 scheme.
That was enough for Ellis, who had visits with the Detroit Lions and New England Patriots (two 4-3 teams) but opted for a one-year deal in Chicago with the Bears' one-gap attacking scheme.
"That was part of the reason I picked Chicago," Ellis said. "Mainly it was because of the way I know their defensive line plays. They allow their guys to do what defensive linemen are supposed to do, and that's rush the passer, gets sacks and put pressure on the quarterback while playing the run on the way. I haven't had the chance to do that the last couple of years."
The plan is to play Ellis, 6-1, 307 pounds, at the "three-technique," although Ellis has played and is willing to work at nose tackle. Henry Melton is the starting three-technique; Stephen Paea is the No. 1 at nose tackle. Ellis projects to be their backup in a three-tackle rotation.
"He's veteran player, he's got versatility," said defensive coordinator Mel Tucker. "We feel like he can give us some stoutness inside, and also give us some rush inside. He'll have an opportunity to come here and prove what he can do, and compete. That's what we're looking for."
Players are rarely given to predictions. Ellis was not giving a specific number for sacks, tackles or anything else. But he was almost offering a guarantee that his production will increase as a Bear.
"Definitely," he declared. "In fact I'm almost guaranteeing that it will because this is the style of defense that caters to defensive linemen getting up the field and playing fast, which is what I got drafted for in '08 and the last couple years I haven't been able to do that as much. Now I'll have my chance."

Lee hit with voter tampering allegations and negative mailers, but he dodges questions about a homophobic colleague -- and more news you need to know this week.
The mailer highlighted Prop. D's small group of wealthy backers such as George Hume and Michael Moritz, who in turn funded a Yes on D mailer that was a bit more positive than earlier pieces stressing the "backroom deal" that put Prop. C on the ballot, this time focusing on the issue: "Did You Know? Pension Spring is Costing You $132 Million!"
And then there's the black and white mailer with the photo of John Avalos darkly asking, "Who's the Real Power Behind John Avalos?" And then you realize it's not a hit piece after opening it up and seeing it's an Avalos mailer that answers the question, "Everyday People With a New Vision for Working San Francisco."
Gee, maybe politics isn't so nasty after all. (Jones)
Ed Lee didn't show up for an Oct. 19 forum on AIDS and HIV issues that he had confirmed for, which is hardly a surprise: Lee has been ignoring, ducking, or blowing off events like this all fall. Yet in this case, there's an interesting twist. If Lee had shown up, activists told us, he probably would have been asked about Eugene Lumpkin, the homophobic minister who served on the Human Rights Commission while Lee was executive director.
In 1993, Lumpkin, a Baptist minister appointed to the panel by then-Mayor Frank Jordan, told the Chronicle: "It's sad that people have AIDS and what have you, but it says right here in the scripture that the homosexual lifestyle is an abomination against God." At first, Jordan defended Lumpkin — and when Lawrence Wong, who also served on the commission, made a huge fuss and denounced both Lumpkin and the mayor, Jordan fired Wong. But when Lumpkin went on to say he believed in the Biblical edict that a man who has sex with another man should be put to death, Jordan finally fired him. Yet according to people who followed the furor at the time, Lee remained silent the entire time. "I personally covered the controversy and I have no recollection of Ed Lee ever saying anything about Lumpkin," journalist Larry Bush told us. We asked Tony Winnicker, press spokesperson for the Lee campaign, if Lee has any recollection of speaking out against Lumpkin, and he responded: "I don't know." He added: "I can tell you that Ed Lee as Human Rights Commission Director held the first hearings on transgender employment discrimination, supported the equal benefits ordinance, made competitive bidding more transparent, and opened up contracting to women and minority local contractors." All no doubt true — but Lee would have faced a tough crowd once the Lumpkin issue was raised. Which would have been plenty of reason not to show up. (Tim Redmond)

First, a little history: The Olympic Games are the world's largest, first recorded, and most prestigious sporting competition, evolving over centuries from the first Olympic Games in ancient Greece. After the Games had been discontinued for over a thousand years, they experienced a resurgence starting in the 17th century. The International Olympic Committee was established in 1894 and became the governing authority, structuring the Olympic Movement to become as we see it today. Over 200 nations and thousands of athletes compete in the Summer and Winter Games, which alternate, occuring every four years but two years apart. Becoming an Olympian and winning a gold, silver or bronze medal can define an elite athlete's career, allowing them to attain national or international fame.
Watching the Olympics and professional tennis are really the only reasons I turn on the TV. What excites me the most is being able to see the superlative skill at which an Olympic athlete competes. I love the intensity of concentration, the movements of strength and flexibility that have become so natural that they can be done in their sleep, and the fearless approach he or she can take, representing their country in front of the largest audience in the world. We don't all have the ability to become Olympians, but that doesn't mean we can't dream about what it might be like.
A few of us here have competed in sports at the national and international level, ranging from football to baseball, fencing, tae kwon do, track & field, cross country, and tennis. I like to think that is why we work so well as a team.
I surveyed some of our team members to find out which Winter Olympic event they would compete in. Here are their responses:
Maggie – "Bobsledding because I loved Cool Runnings."
Catharine – "Figure Skating. Sequins, duh."
Adam – "Freestyle Snowboarding because I was born to shred the gnar."
Brooke – "Ice Hockey because I love a good Predators game, and it's basically figure skating dressed as a contact sport!"
Christian – "Most likely Snowboard Cross. It's a good mix of speed and jumping agility, strategy, and head-to-head competition. I love snowboarding, I love jumping and going fast, so I think that would be the one for me."
James – "Ski Jump if I was ever brave enough to do it. It would be awesome to fly through the air like they do."
Karen – "Short Track Speed Skating because it looks so smooth. There is so much strategy involved but you have to really focus on your technique and timing to come out on top."
Deborah – "I would be a judge so I can stay warm and nitpick at people."
Kenny – "Bobsled, because, 'Go Jamaica!' And it looks super fun."
Stephen – "Curling, because I am 45."
Whitney – "The luge. Not to make light of the sport, because I know they're incredible athletes, but it looks like a frozen water slide!"
Mark – "Ski jump because if I had a super power, it would be the ability to fly, and ski jumping is as close as it gets in the Olympics. Plus, competitions to see who can go the farthest (or the longest, or the most) are always fun for me."
Karen G. – "I would be an Olympic Ski Jumper. I have a big fear of heights and would need some serious cojones to be up to catching big air. What a rush that would be!"
Luke – "Definitely curling, because the uniforms are amazing."
Matt – "Speed skating because it would complement my roller skating."
Chris – "Maybe hockey – it looks fun."
Jessica – "Curling, because there isn't any other sport quite like it."
Christie – "Speed skating. It seems really fun and intense."
Cyndi – "Figure skating. I wish I had the ability to do what they can do."
Jammie – "Figure skating. Why? Because I get to walk on water (frozen water) wearing tights."
Melanie – "The winter Olympics are my favorite so this is going to be tough. I've always been a skier and love it more than any other sport, especially slalom over downhill jump. Since I have no delusions of grandeur about being an Olympic skier I'm going to go with luge. It would have to be 2 man luge so I can just ride along while the experienced person steers."
What's your favorite event? What sport would you excel at if you had the opportunity?

More a rosé than a red wine, this is light and crisp, a clean grapey wine to chill for sipping on a sailboat. You can recite the blend as you rock to sleep at night: blauer koelner, blaufränkisch, portugiezer, St. Laurent, kraljevina, yellow plavec, welschriesling, grüner veltliner, stajerska belina...
The Cvicek is made with a mix of white and red grapes, including Blauer Koelner, Blaufrankisch, Kraljevina, Portugiezer, St. Laurent, Welschriesling and Yellow Plavec, grown in the Dolenjska in Slovenia. But you don't need to know or be able to pronounce any of those varietals to taste how delicious this wine is: tangy and dry, with violet, strawberry and raspberry fruit. Easy to drink, thank goodness it comes in liter bottles!

Baby shower delima
have 2...let her do one and have someone on your side of town so one...
I ended up having 2 baby showers with ODD because of the distance between DH families location and where most of my family was located... MIL & DH's aunt hosted for their side of the family and my Aunt hosted a shower for my side of the family and friends of DH and I. My sister's baby shower was a little over 2 hour drive for most of the people invited but we still made the drive.
I would suggest sending invites to your family and friends, you never know people may surprise you and show up. Or you could talk to your mom about someone from your family hosting a shower for you that includes your family and friends.
Hope it all works out for you.
My best friend had 2 showers. One was her MIL side of the family and all her MIL's friends. Sure, she didn't know them very well but they were all wealthy and she got a ton of great gifts.
I would have two as well. Doesn't sound that nice of her if she's not taking your family and you into consideration!

The goal of this site is to put relevant and applicable tools and information at the fingertips
With this blog we want to inform you on our latest initiatives.
Enjoy reading and stay tuned!
As your all aware from one of my recent posts HPC customers now have access to additional resources, which have been made available with the release of Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2. I am pleased to announce the availability of a new white paper entitled Introducing Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 SP2 which can be downloaded via the Microsoft Download Center.
The paper is available for FREE and is authored by David Chappell, Principal of DavidChappell & Associates, and is designed to provide insight into Windows HPC Server for those running parallel applications on clusters. Chappell explains. "The goal is to support high-performance computing (HPC), a category that includes a range of applications that can benefit from being distributed across a cluster. To allow this, Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 Service Pack (SP) 2 supports four major types of parallel applications. This paper provides an introduction to Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 SP2, including a look at the services it provides for creating and using clusters and an overview of how it supports each of the four application types. With today's broader notion of cluster, which includes desktop workstations and cloud instances as well as traditional on-premises servers, adopting this technology has gotten easier." The whitepaper describes the following methods of parallel applications supported by Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 SP2
Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 (SP2) RTM is available for download here.
Today I'm excited to share with some exciting development news relating to Microsoft Surface and how were helping you support the next generation device – the Samsung SUR40 Microsoft Surface.
Microsoft Surface 2.0 SDK releases next week!
At MIX 2011, the Surface Team announced that they would release our SDK this summer. I am happy to share with you that the SDK will be available for public download for free from the Microsoft Download Center on July 12th.
For those of you who haven't seen or heard of Surface SUR40 please watch the following video from the MIX11 Conference
Here are some of the new features which are ideal in the academic teaching learning and research space.
1. The SDK now runs on the latest technologies: WPF 4.0, XNA 4.0, Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit).
2. Multiplatform support the new SDK target both Microsoft Surface Hardware and Windows 7 Touch enabled PCs with a single SDK. The surface team have coined the phrase "Write once - touch anywhere". That means that the same binary can be used in both types of hardware and for you this means you can get developing for surface using multitouch PCs which will save budgets and mean you can get developing today!
3. The ability to actually query the hardware capabilities of the device.
4. New APIs for you to query the capabilities of the hardware (maximum number of touches recognized by the hardware, whether the hardware can actually distinguish touches caused by fingers versus other touches, tag recognition support, tilt support, etc.)
You can learn more about adapting your application to the environment here.
5. The availability of a Microsoft Surface Input Simulator. For more information on our new Input Simulator, check out the Surface Team blog post.

What is Windows Azure? Windows Azure is a platform for building scalable, highly reliable, multi-tiered web service applications. It is hosted on Microsoft's large data centers in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Windows Azure has both compute and data resources. The compute resources are designed to allow applications to scale to thousands of servers and data resources. For more information on Windows Azure keep an eye on the Windows Azure team blog.
What types of research projects are well suited to Azure? Windows Azure can be an excellent research platform for many types of research. However, it is designed to support scalable web services, so projects that play to this strength will have the most success. One area of particular interest is computational models and techniques that augment the capabilities of client devices, ranging from feature rich desktop and laptop computers to cell phones of other mobile devices with data and computation resources in the cloud. How can we make the cloud into a transparent extension and experience amplifier of our client-based research tools?
Others interesting areas include:
Research to support intelligent interactions leveraging web data and domain knowledge.
Will Hadoop or Dryad/LINQ be available on Azure? There is no port of Hadoop or Dryad/LINQ currently available. However, Windows Azure is an excellent platform for experimenting with new variations on large-scale map-reduce algorithms, as these patterns are easily coded as worker role networks.
Can I run my MPI HPC applications on Windows Azure? Windows Azure is not designed to replace the traditional HPC supercomputer. In its current data center configuration it does not have the high-bandwidth, low-latency communication model that is appropriate for tightly-coupled MPI jobs. However, Windows Azure can be used to host large parallel computations that do not require MPI messaging, such as ensemble or parameter sweep studies.
Can Azure be useful as an experimental host for distributed computing research? Yes. Windows Azure worker roles have access to standard TCP/IP sockets on each virtual machine (VM) in which they run. Hence it is possible to use a large number of worker roles to experiment with distributed computing algorithms and protocols.
Can Azure be used to support collaborations and "science gateways"? Yes. Windows Azure is an excellent platform for sharing "community" data and data analysis tools. Most science gateways are built as web portals and Windows Azure is ideally suited for this task.
What data collections will be made available? We will be very interested in suggestions from researchers about important community data collections and tools that can be hosted. We currently have data collections from the NCBI genome databases, oceanographic instrument data, and some MODIS satellite data. We also are providing access to web scale n-grams via a service. However, our goal is to let the research community help us define a sustainable collection of shared resources and analysis tools.
The Web N-gram Services, provided by Microsoft Research in partnership with Microsoft Bing, will provide researchers access to large scale real-world datasets and benchmarks. Access to the Web N-gram Services will be made available to NSF awardees, with the following properties:
N-gram models can advance research in areas such as document representation and content analysis (for example, clustering, classification, and information extraction), query analysis (for example, query suggestion and query reformulation), retrieval models and ranking, spelling, and machine translation. They can also improve intelligent interactions with better dialogue modeling (for example, semantic relations and summarization).
What is the programming model? A Windows Azure program is a scalable, multi-tiered web service. The service consists of one or more "web roles," which are standard web service processes, and "worker roles," which are computational and data management processes. Roles communicate by passing messages through queues or sockets. The number of instances of each type of role is determined by the developer when the application is deployed and each role is assigned by Windows Azure to a unique Windows Server virtual machine (VM) instance. (Currently no more than one VM instance runs on an individual core.)
What types compute instances are available on Windows Azure? Each Windows Azure compute instance (web role or worker role) represents a virtual server. Although many resources are dedicated to a particular instance, some resources associated to I/O performance, such as network bandwidth and disk subsystem, are shared among the compute instances on the same physical host. During periods when a shared resource is not fully utilized, you can utilize a higher share of that resource. Each Windows Azure data center server currently has 8 cores, 14 GB of memory, and 2 TB of disk space. An instance can be mapped to one or more cores with the memory and resources divided evenly. The table below describes the way the resources are partitioned on each server.
Compute Instance Size
Instance Storage
I/O Performance
1.6 GHz
2 x 1.6 GHz
4 x 1.6 GHz
Extra large
8 x 1.6 GHz
Windows Azure Pricing Calculator
What virtual machine (VM) types are available? Can I configure my own VM? Windows Azure automatically configures and manages Windows Server VM instances for your application. In the current version of Windows Azure, you cannot remotely connect and run a remote desktop on this VM instance. The VM instances are managed and deployed by the Windows Azure Fabric Controller and you interact with the Fabric Controller though the Windows Azure web interface.
What types of data storage are available on Windows Azure? There are basically five storage systems. Blob storage is for long-term data. Blobs are binary objects together with <name, value> pair metadata. Each blob can be up to 50 GB and blobs are grouped into logical containers. Blobs are replicated three times in the data center for reliability purposes and they can be accessed from any server or by a URL over the Internet. Table storage is another type of persistent storage. A table can be very large (millions of rows and columns) and is partitioned by rows and distributed over the storage nodes in Windows Azure. It is also triply replicated. Tables are not full SQL tables because there is no join operator. Within the compute node there are two types of storage. Local disk is available to each Windows Azure role, but this is not persistent. If your role process goes down it may be restarted on another node, so the local disk is not for persistent data. However, XDrives are virtual drives that can be mounted on a Windows Azure VM instance and they are backed by the blob storage system so that they are persistent. The queue system is also part of the persistent Windows Azure storage model.
Can I run the Windows Azure software stack on my own private cluster? Not currently. Windows Azure is a public cloud service and it is not available as a software product.
What languages/compilers are available? What IDEs can be used with Azure? Applications on Windows Azure are designed and debugged completely on the programmer's local machine. So any compiler that generates a Windows binary can be used. Microsoft Visual Studio has a "plug-in" for Windows Azure that makes the construction of Windows Azure applications extremely simple. The plug-in allows the programmer to test the application on a local Windows Azure emulator. When the programmer is ready to deploy the application on Windows Azure, the binaries are uploaded through a web interface. This interface also controls deployment parameters such as the number of server instances to be used. Visual Studio is not required.
The application program can also use a plug-in for the Eclipse software framework if that is preferred. Programmers can use Java, Ruby, Python, and C++. We have examples that illustrate how to deploy the Apache Tomcat server on Windows Azure for the web role.
What scientific libraries will be available? We are working on a list of these currently.
Can I run Matlab on Azure? Matlab can be used to "compile" a Matlab application and it is possible to upload this compiled code and libraries to Windows Azure. We have not yet installed a complete Matlab instance on Windows Azure, but it is a project currently under study.
Can I run arbitrary applications as Azure workers? In general, any Windows binary that does not require modifications to the Windows operating system or registry can be loaded and run as part of a Windows Azure role. This includes compiled C, C++, or Fortran programs as well as Java, Python, PHP, and Ruby applications.
How can I use custom libraries with my Azure applications? When you use the IDE to build the application, you simply include the libraries with the application. The IDE will roll these up into the binary that is uploaded to Windows Azure when you deploy your application.
Can I manage collections of tasks (workflows) that involve local data and activities as well as Azure resident data and tasks? Yes. We have a sample Windows Azure service that can manage many concurrent tasks that run on Windows Azure as well as local compute resources. The tasks are arbitrary Windows executables that are wrapped as Windows Azure worker roles. The data that is used or produced can be in the Windows Azure replicated persistent storage or the local disk on each machine. This local storage is not persistent across deployments of your application; however, it is possible to mount a virtual disk that is part of the persistent storage.
Are there hooks in Azure to enable systems-level research on scheduling and resource allocation? Unfortunately, no. Windows Azure applications are controlled by the Azure Fabric controller, which has the responsibility of resource allocation and quality of service for all the currently running applications. Consequently, Windows Azure is not well suited to many systems-level research projects.
What dynamic scaling models are supported by Azure? The programmer must specify the number of each type of role to instantiate at deployment time. These numbers remain fixed until the application is de-deployed. However, it is possible to experiment with dynamic deployment in the application logic.
What performance guarantees can I expect from my applications? What is the interference between workers? Performance will be variable depending on the load on the data center. We will provide basic benchmark tools to help guide application designers to optimize performance. At any given time, Windows Azure will be running many applications in the data center and many of these are commercial customers who demand high levels of service. The research engagement project will receive the same level of support as these commercial users.
Will I be able to instrument my applications? Because you have no direct access to the Windows Server virtual machine instance, you will not be able to access instrumentation that requires administrator level authorization. However, you do have access to application logs and some performance counters, and application-level instrumentation is possible. A complete benchmark suite will be available that you can use to experiment with many performance features of Windows Azure.
How can I get my data into the Azure storage? There are several ways to move data. The most direct method is through the web API to the Windows Azure blob storage. It is also possible to take data stored in Microsoft Office Excel or Matlab and, by using plug-ins we provide, save your data directly in Windows Azure tables. There are also free GUI tools to manage Windows Azure storage from your desktop, such as the Cloud Storage Studio. OpenDAP services will be available for loading and serving data and an FTP application can be used to pull data from FTP sites.
Are there ways to connect desktop or mobile applications to Azure services? Windows Azure is a web service platform, so any web-based protocol can be used to build applications that fully integrate the cloud. This is how the plug-ins for Matlab and Office Excel were built.
Are there data visualization tools available for Azure resident data collections? Both Excel and Matlab running on the desktop can be used to visualize data stored on Windows Azure. More sophisticated local and remote visualization tools will be made available.
What will the Microsoft Research Cloud Research Engagement Team provide to the research community? The engagement team will support the community of researchers through the following:
Develop tutorials and white papers for a general overview of Windows Azure, identify best practices, and provide a benchmark suite as a guide for application architects and developers.
Microsoft David Catuhe's work is too brilliant not to shared so if your interested in Kinect SDK Development then you need to check out David's Gestures and toolkit library for Kinect at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/eternalcoding/archive/2011/07/04/gestures-and-tools-for-kinect.aspx
David has also produced the following codeplex project http://kinecttoolkit.codeplex.com/
Details of the library:
1. Gestures
· SwipeGestureDetector class will allow you to detect simple gestures (such as swipe to left or swipe to right)
· TemplateGestureDetector will allow you to detect gestures using templates:
The class can record templates and save them in a file used by a learning machine. With this learning machine, the system try to detect one of the recorded template in the current list of positions.
You can see on the UI the list of used templates:
2. Postures
PostureDetector allows you to detect simple postures such as:
· Hand over head
· Hello
· Hands joined
3. Skeleton stability
BarycenterHelper class can detect for you if a skeleton is stable (not moving). With this tool, you can detect wrong gestures produced by a moving skeleton
4. Debug and replay
· To help you debug, the library includes a record/replay of skeletons frames. With this tool, developing with Kinect is much less sportJ
· The library can also paint current saved positions for gestures detection
For further details and full code samples see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/eternalcoding/archive/2011/07/04/gestures-and-tools-for-kinect.aspx

MONOPOLY Millionaire
by: Electronic Arts Inc | 13.2K
by: Electronic Arts Inc | 13.2K
Expert's review
by Janel Torkington, Appszoom
MONOPOLY Millionaire is designed to be a fresh take on the classic board game that every competitive little kid has cried about at least once. The aim is to accumulate a million smackeroos before anyone else, be they CPU or other players. The animations are really complex and slick.
There's one major issue, though: the app crashes after the first turn, every time. I tried it five times and got the same result each time. Looking at the user comments, I'm not the only one. On top of that, it's a paid app from EA - they should know better than to release something so buggy.
The game looks promising, but until they fix the force closing problem, I can't recommend that you pay to download it.

In terms of curtain hardware, this means sticking to the basics and finding a cheap rod with great lines and shape -- it's really all about those two things.
Keep it simple: Your eye shouldn't go to a big ball on the end or anything overly ornate. In fact, your eye shouldn't really be drawn to anything; curtain hardware that you barely notice is the way to go.
Then just find a great curtain, and you're all set.
Now that you've cheated with your hardware, learn how to pick out the perfect window treatments.
