The Toshiba Kirabook is still a worthwhile high-end Windows alternative to a Retina MacBook Pro, but it could use a little of that Apple secret sauce for its touchpad.
Debuting at CES 2015, the 8- and 10-inch Windows 8.1 slates feature Wacom tech and a trio of exclusive apps for recording your life.
Don't be tempted by its low price: the Toshiba Excite Go's middling display is too onerous to use.
Debuted at Computex 2014, the 7-inch tablet runs full Windows 8.1 with features that fit its $120 price tag.
Unveiled at the Microsoft keynote at Computex 2014, the 7-inch Encore is basically the company's Android-based Excite tablet running Windows.
The Encore 2 starts at $200 and comes in 8- and 10-inch flavors, but they offer largely identical features.
Though low-priced, the Toshiba Excite 7 fails to offer as much value as other budget tablets.
If you can afford the comparatively high price, the new drive is a great replacement for that old hard drive inside your aging computer.
Pricing not available
The Toshiba Thrive 7-inch is a decent tablet, but there are simply better options out there for the price.
Toshiba's ambitious Kirabook has a screen that rivals Apple's MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and a price to match. It's a solid, useful laptop, but for these prices, the design should really be more exciting.

Second Motherhood
Episode Reviews (3)
Some of my favourite one liners
'Come on Dorothy, if the Egpytians built the pyramids, we can move this toilet'
'Fine get me 20,000 hebrews and I'll have it out of here in no time'
Oh that line just floored me. Dorothy is so DRY!!! The episode centers around Blanche courting with a rich man, and Dorothy and Rose attempting to install a toilet. However the storyline matters line, as the funny liners
Sophia: 'Dorothy I owe you an apology about you not knowing anything about Plumbing, you're a genius...i go into the living room and there's a toilet in front of the television. Its an old ladies dream come true'
I love Sophia
B: How can I say no to the men I love, I can't even say no to the men I like'
R: As Blanche is about to tell Dorothy something romantic her BF said 'Our biggest worry will be tank sweat'
Pretty good episode
This is a pretty good story, with a couple of highlights. One is Blanche,flopping around in the seat on the plane. So funny, it reminds you of how great an actress Rue McClanahan was on the show.
The second is the appearance of Lou the plumber, who shows up next season, as Mr. HaHa, which is one of the funniest scenes of the entire series. Here he's a funny plumber who gets the door slammed on him by Dorothy. The whole plumbing story with Dorothy and Rose is a good one and Sophia's comment about an old lady's dream and a toilet in the living room is really funny.moreless
And that's when it hit me, we don't even need our sludge tube!
I like this episode a lot. It's nice to see Blanche being swept off her feet by a man that charming and it's touching how she chooses not to marry him to allow him to maybe spend more time with his kids. One does wonder why a man that age has kids so young (especially since they apparently don't have a mother) but I guess it could happen. Really though my favorite thing about this episode is the side plot with Dorothy and Rose trying to install the toilet. That is hysterical! Highlight: When Sophia talks about how much she loves the idea having a toilet in front of the TV! Also where Blanche tries to bring Richard into the house and sees Rose sitting on the toilet. Haha! I like the plumber, too. It's funny how they keep getting rid of him. I'd say this is probably one of the better episodes from the first season.moreless

From Our 2012 Archives
Only Half of Meds Taken by Kids Have 'Adequate' Safety Info: Study
HealthDay Reporter
Latest Healthy Kids News
THURSDAY, May 10 (HealthDay News) -- About half of medications used in children have little or no label information about drug effectiveness, safety or dosing in children, new research finds.
"We still have a long way to go," said senior study author Dr. M. Dianne Murphy, director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Office of Pediatric Therapeutics, although she acknowledged significant strides in pediatric labeling over the past few decades.
In the study, when the researchers looked at 560 medications listed in the 2009 electronic Physicians' Desk Reference, some not relevant for pediatric use, they found only 46 percent referred to children's usage. When they looked only at drugs used in children, they found "adequate" labeling information for 231 of 461 drugs. "Adequate" meant they included information on drug effectiveness, safety in kids and teens, and guidance on dosing.
Among medical professionals, there's a growing understanding that children aren't mini-adults. They may metabolize drugs differently, their bodies may react to drugs differently, and diseases themselves may have different causes or underlying mechanisms in kids than adults.
Dr. Daniel Frattarelli, a pediatrician in Dearborn, Mich., and chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics Drug Committee, said the numbers represent a big improvement over recent history. But 90 percent of medications used to treat newborns still have not been adequately studied, he said.
"We still have a huge problem with newborns," he said.
"It's great that we've made all of this progress in older children, but for babies, they're very vulnerable, they're often in the neonatal ICU [intensive care unit], and their metabolism is different even than for older children," Frattarelli said.
In 1975, the last time a similar study of drug labels was conducted, only 22 percent of medications had information about use in children, Murphy said.
Experts at that time wrote "we have to stop treating children like second-class citizens and basically experimenting on them because we haven't studied these products adequately," said Murphy.
Pediatric information on many drugs is limited largely because drug makers don't often study drugs in children. Ethical issues are one deterrent, Murphy said. Financial concerns are another. Kids typically make up a small sliver of the population that will be taking the drugs, so developing and testing drugs for use in children "isn't a good business model," she said.
Frattarelli credits two laws with boosting pediatric drug testing. The Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act, enacted in 1997, provides financial incentives to drug makers that conduct clinical trials in children when new drugs come to market, and the 2003 Pediatric Research Equity Act requires pharmaceutical companies to assess the safety and effectiveness of certain drugs in kids.
Since the laws were enacted, more than 400 drug labels have been altered to reflect a better understanding of whether the drugs work in kids and the correct dose for them, Murphy said.
Still, obstacles remain, such as high drug development costs and a failure of many drugs to make it to market. For these reasons, Kate Connors, director of communications for Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America, an industry association, said drug makers may not want to take on the expense of conducting trials in children.
"We are highly supportive of these programs, which have helped to incentivize significant increases in pediatric research," Connors said. "There are many reasons why research in pediatric patients has not been widely available. For one, the cost of developing a new drug is already incredibly high, now exceeding $1 billion, and pediatric trials would add to this cost. So for a medicine that may not be anticipated for use in children, it may not be worthwhile to conduct pediatric studies."
The study authors, writing in the May 9 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, said additional legislation is needed to increase pediatric clinical trials and improve labeling. Current legislation comes up for reauthorization this year, and the American Academy of Pediatrics is requesting that the laws regarding drug-testing in newborns be strengthened, Frattarelli said.

I've been staying at the ArtHaus during the winter of the last 8 years... And each year is better!
Diegodo and his family give an outstanding service at the hotel where you really feel at home.
The place is highly recommended!
Review collected in partnership with this hotel
We went to the restaurant of this hotel , and it was AMAZING!!! the plates are really an art that your eyes gonna enjoy just watching them. and the taste is awesome! beautiful and delicious! It's a bit expensive but comparing to what you are eating it's nothing! The restaurant is not open every day! so ask first!
Recommendable hotel for summer stays where most of the time is spent outside and where not much space for clothing and showering etc. is required.
- central in Davos Platz, approx. 10 min walk to many restaurants/clubs
- easy to reach from the station
- nice art in the rooms and elsewhere (artist is part of the staff !)
I spent three nights in this hotel during a business meeting which took place in Davos. The hotel is in the very center of Davos, shopping centers, casino, railway and bus stations as well as mountain railways "Jakobshorn" and "Schatzapl" are within walking distance. Staff is friendly, rooms are small, quite old fashioned but also clean and equipped with everything...
Davos is about location, and the town itself (really a small city) lacks charm. But the ArtHausHotel is a wonderful little hotel, very tastefully decorated. The owner Diego is very attentive and friendly and we felt almost part of the family. Free wireless was a much appreciated bonus, and the breakfast was excellent. The location is central but a hundred...

Goodwill's mission is to improve the quality of life of disadvantaged Thai women by empowering them through personal and career development services.
Since our establishment in 2000, over 7,000 women and girls have participated in our programs. According to our most recent Impact Analysis report, students that successfully utilized our services found a job paying, on average, 3,580 THB (US $116) more per month, representing a 36% boost to the student median income of 10,000 THB. Building on our success, a second Goodwill branch was opened in August 2011 in Ubon Ratchathani (Northeastern Thailand) and has been providing knowledge and skills training for women and girls considering migration from villages to work in the city. While we have a proven record of creating high impact at a low cost, the greatest obstacle to reaching our goals is limited funding. We have an effective structure and committed staff in place to expand our impact to more women, but support is needed.
Target demographics:
Virtually all of disadvantaged women with whom Goodwill works have never finished high school, have migrated to Bangkok from poorer rural provinces in search of employment to support their family, are single or separated/divorced and have to support their parents and children back home. For those who are currently employed, the majority of the women find themselves in informal employment characterized by unstable income and poor working conditions (e.g. factories, construction, and temporary jobs, including work in the sex trade).

Reviews for Goodwill Group Foundation Inc
I have links with Goodwill Bangkok for a good number of years.I am very impressed with the work of Khun Beer and Khun Ann and staff.They are very professional and committed.I have done some relief teaching and supported a number of programs at Goodwill.It is a very successful organisation and it's focus on disadvantaged Thai women is very purposeful.It has expanded it's programs and achieved considerable success since it's inception. I have found the students to be very appreciate of the opportunities they have been given.The students are a joy to teach.Very enthusiastic and engaged.The staff are caring and professional.They are always friendly and welcoming. I wish students and staff every success in the future.
I'm a volunteer for the project: "Textile Collecting 4 Charity" and a volunteer submitted English teacher. The mission , programs and goals Goodwill Group Foundation has is a perfect match with my principles. I always feel welcome at the office and the staff is great. I wish the Textile Collecting project will grow from collecting, business and office clothing for Goodwill's beneficiaries into a big fundraising project.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I have been teaching here fore over a year, the smile and appreciation from students have been an integral part in keeping me motivated to teach here. Goodwill's work reaches out to women in the most disadvantaged part in Thailand, educating them and preventing them from falling into a vicious cycle of life. Knowing that you can be part of the change you want to see makes you appreciate your life even more.
I have been a substitute English teacher several times at Goodwill Foundation and really enjoy it. The women are bright, funny and eager to learn. I will continue to volunteer my time there as long as I am in BKK.
I was finding where I could contribute and pay it forward back to the world. Goodwill gave me the resource needed and matched me with those in need of my skill. The staff try their best to make things run smoothly. I feel thankful for receiving such opportunity.
I am a volunteer at Goodwill and have nothing but great things to say about this humble foundation situated in the corner of a quiet soi. The staff and students alike work really hard in what they do. Coming from Singapore, where I have been privileged enough to receive quality education, I wanted my students to be able to learn the things I did too. My students - the oldest being almost 60 - are hardworking and always willing to learn. Classes run in 3 hour blocks, for example 9 - 12. Many students attend classes on Sundays at 9 am and that's their only free day out of the whole week. How motivated they are inspires me to continue teaching. What I really like about the foundation is that it does not run like a 'school' or 'tuition centre' where only lessons are given and that's it. There are strong relationships being built between the students and volunteers/staff and it makes it cosy to be at the centre where it was informal, relaxing, and fun. The centre also regularly helps to conduct useful workshops (such as Job Interview workshops) and turnouts have been great. The centre posts job listings on a board and helps students with job placement and facilitating interviews with the employers too.
Outside of the centre, Goodwill does outreach programmes to slums and provinces on important skills such as Self Defense and First Aid workshops.
There are many NGOs out there with different cause - and they are all commendable in their own rights. However, for an NGO to specifically seek to empower disadvantaged women is the first that I've come across in Thailand. It is a cause close to my heart and given how vulnerable these women are (in terms of getting into the wrong trades), I really hope that Goodwill can be given its due recognition and continue to expand and help more women in Thailand, especially those who moved from the rural areas into Bangkok, in hope for a better job.
Teaching ESL at The Goodwill Group Foundation has been the most rewarding volunteer experience of my life. The students, staff, and my fellow volunteers have been incredibly welcoming and appreciative, and I've made friendships with people from around the world that will last a lifetime. This is not a charity with a lot of administrative overhead; you can be assured that the time and money donated is used efficiently to help the truly needy.
A quick personal story: The second time I was scheduled to teach a class at Goodwill, I woke up in the morning feeling very weak and under the weather. Had it been a normal paid class I would definitely have called in sick and stayed on bed, but in this case I did not want to disappoint. By the end of the three hour class, I'd received so much positive energy back from the students that I felt completely refreshed and back to good health. In fact, I feel that all the effort I've given at Goodwill has been paid back to me tenfold by way of good feelings and priceless shared experiences.
If you volunteer at the Goodwill Group, I'm sure you'll find that two things will happen. Firstly, you will find new resources within yourself and be amazed at how much you are able to give. Secondly, you'll find that you will get more than you give.
The Goodwill Group Foundation has been open for 15 years. I was privileged enough to volunteer in their first year and now again in their 15th. They offer much needed services to Thai women. These women have had their lives changed through the educational services offered a GGF. An extraordinary step that Goodwill has done is to offer outreach in the rural areas of Thailand. There they educate women about the dangers, pitfalls of living in the city (Bangkok). Even so, knowing they will eventually come to the city regardless, they offer survival strategies. I have seen for myself how Goodwill changes iives. Many of my former students have good jobs and good lives now, all thanks to the good work that is done at the Goodwill Group Foundation.
As a part of my Canadian university degree, I did a 3-month placement with the Goodwill Group Foundation last year. Not only was I deeply moved by the initiatives started by Goodwill for women and young girls in the community, I also became so inspired by the dedicated staff members, motivated volunteers and passionate students at the foundation. My placement remains to be one of the most valuable learning experiences I have ever had throughout my academic career. I am so thankful to have had a chance to work with such an incredible organization!
1 person found this review helpful
I am a recent volunteer with the Goodwill Group Foundation but have thoroughly enjoyed the last few months serving with this outstanding organization. The staff are dedicated, organized, extremely caring, and have a genuine love for each woman who comes through their doors. I am impressed with how much the staff is able to accomplish along with the incredible volunteers I have been privileged to work alongside of. The staff does a great job of effectively placing their volunteers in areas that match their expertise and abilities. Goodwill does not stray from their mission which is to improve the quality of life of young Thai women via skills training and career services. The many different programs offered along with the personal interaction with the staff and volunteers give women the chance to develop in these specific areas. The women I have encountered have come from many different places and backgrounds and each one has her own unique story and talents which makes them such a joy to work with. I have never left Goodwill without a generous and warm "thank-you" from both the students and staff. It is an honor to be a part of such an effective and caring group of people.

The key to happiness...are you ready...it's hanging out with your mother -in-law. According to a new study, married people who regularly see both their own mother and their mother in law are happier than people who never see either, or who only see one. When you see both, you get two good sources of maternal support, advice and help with the kids

Last Christmas Eve, Amazon received an early gift in the shape of a patent for "anticipatory package shipping." The patent describes a method for shipping a package of one or more items to an end destination's geographical area without specifying the delivery address at time of shipment -- the final destination is defined en route. While last Christmas may have been good to Amazon on several fronts, this patent and some other actions it's pursuing indicate how determined Amazon is to expand the already sizable moat between it and other retailers.
Getting Rid of the Middle Man
One of those other activities involves opening 15 sortation facilities across the US this year. Each of these new facilities enable Amazon to exert more influence over the final mile of the delivery process including making Sunday deliveries possible, which no other retailer or e-tailer can currently offer. Whereas before packages would be picked up by either UPS or FedEx at one of their fulfillment centers, many of these will now be delivered by Amazon to the relevant sortation center where they are organized by zip codes and then delivered to the respective post office by no later than 8 am to be delivered the same day.
Beyond facilitating Sunday deliveries through the US Postal Service (USPS) -- currently the only destination for sortation center packages but one would suspect won't always be the case -- these facilities allow later ordering times for two day delivery, up to nine hours for both Prime and regular customers who pay extra for the privilege, as well as the ability to hedge their exposure to both UPS and FedEx where they experienced several challenges last holiday season in getting packages to customers on time. Finally, this helps lower shipping costs which is key for Amazon. And the possibility exists it could start delivering directly from the sortation centers, bypassing third party shippers.
Wait a minute -- Amazon could start making its own deliveries and bypass UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc.? While this has been a hypothetical topic of conversation for quite some time, it appears to be emerging as reality. Besides the delivery issues last holiday season, this could in part be driven by UPS's and FedEx's move to dimensional pricing after the 2014 holiday season. The net effect of this should be increased shipping costs for most retailers, which means either limits on or the elimination of free shipping and/or higher prices, whereas Amazon has been pursuing ways to lower its expenses over the long haul for the better part of at least a year.

Peak Oil Interview: Misconceptions, Replacing Oil, and False Solutions
Back in June, I gave a presentation on Peak Oil at the Global Footprint Conference in Siena, Italy. (More on the event here). Following my presentation, I was asked to do a pair of interviews. One was for an upcoming documentary called Critical Mass. The second was for the conference itself, and that interview has just been made available and is embedded below.
Peak Oil Interview for the Global Footprint Conference
Some of the ground covered in the interview includes:
- The misconception that Peak Oil means we are running out of oil
- The idea that oil will be very difficult to replace, and impossible to replace solely with biomass
- The danger posed by false solutions (which I denoted the 'fake fire brigade' in my presentation)
- The difficulty the developing world will have in attaining a 'First World' standard of living
- What will happen if oil peaks soon and declines rapidly
- The reasons for the rise in oil prices over the past decade
- That we are now comfortable with $80 oil — and why that is dangerous
- The fact that some "renewable energy" is mostly embedded fossil energy
- The reason I prefer thermochemical technologies over biochemical technologies
- The types of projects that my company is working on; primarily energy projects that can be operated on low fossil fuel inputs and ideally off the grid (i.e., projects that could provide meaningful energy in a world in which oil supplies are declining)
The venue for the interview was not in fact a prison cell, although it was in the basement of a very old building. Yes, I am squinting and frowning a lot, because the sun was coming through the window in my face. And yes, I do smile, although you may think I have no sense of humor based on this interview.
I have watched the clip a couple of times, and there are times that I misspoke, and times that I should have paused for some clarification around a point. For instance, I said that it would be impossible to replace oil with the solutions proposed thus far. I am mainly thinking of biomass; in fact it would be possible to replace many uses of oil in theory with nuclear or solar power provided certain technological challenges are conquered. I covered this idea previously in a thought experiment called Replacing Gasoline with Solar Power.
I also said that China could never attain a Western standard of living because there isn't enough oil to allow their citizens to motorize in large numbers. Again, I am thinking in terms of the way the Western world is motorized; one could envision a high degree of mobility with small electric cars (for instance). So the point is not that it is impossible for them to motorize, but that they can't do it as we did it because there isn't enough oil to allow it.
The presentation itself was also filmed, and ultimately that is supposed to be available. When it is, I will post that here as well.

Ravenscroft School is an independent, formerly Episcopal, college preparatory school located in Raleigh, North Carolina. It enrolls students from pre-school through grade 12. Founded in 1862 by members of Christ Episcopal Church, the school continued under their principles until 1969 when it became non-sectarian.
The idea of a parish school for Christ Episcopal Church was begun by Dr. Josiah Ogden Watson in 1852, when he bequeathed $5,000 to the church to fund and employ a teacher for a parish school. A small school was established in 1868, but, in 1937, the Ravenscroft School was organized using the original funds directed by Dr. Watson. Ravenscroft was founded in 1862 by members of Christ Episcopal Church, and Ravenscroft continued under their auspices until 1966 when it became non-sectarian. Housed for periods time in Christ Church, St. Savior's Chapel, and then on Tucker Street, the School moved to its current location on Falls of Neuse Road in 1969. The School is named for John Stark Ravenscroft, the first Episcopal bishop of North Carolina and first rector of Christ Episcopal Church in Raleigh.
School facts[edit]
There are three school divisions: Lower School (pre-K 5th), Middle School (6th-8th), and Upper School (9th-12th). The School incorporates athletics and fine arts into the academic schedule.

A bipartisan group of senators proposed legislation this week that would overturn a court interpretation of current law that has blocked a lawsuit brought by 9/11 victims against Saudi Arabia for supporting al Qaeda.
The bill introduced by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) would amend the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) and the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) to clarify that victims of terrorist acts in the U.S. can hold the foreign sponsors of those attacks responsible in U.S. courts. Co-sponsoring the bill are Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), and Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.).
But Schumer said this decision reflects an incorrect interpretation of FSIA and ATA, and is "contrary to the plain language" of those laws.
"[T]aken together, the FSIA and ATA were designed to enable terrorism victims to bring suit against foreign states and terror sponsors when they support terrorism against the United States," Schumer said. "I am introducing this bill because I want the survivors of the 9/11 tragedy to have their day in court — and they were deprived of this by a court ruling that contorted the language and purpose of the FSIA and the ATA."
The Executive Branch has traditionally opposed these sorts of bills because of the possibility that they would interfere with its conduct of foreign policy. But Schumer said this sort of argument should not stick against his bill, the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism act (JASTA), because it would not prevent the administration from settling claims for redress through an executive agreement.
"This is an executive authority that has been recognized and utilized going back to the administration of George Washington, and nothing in JASTA interferes with it," he said. "Nothing in this act would interfere with the execution of our foreign policy."

STRIKER Danny Glover has left Worcester City to join Skrill North rivals Bradford Park Avenue.
The 24-year-old, who is in his third season with the club over two spells, departs the Blue and Whites after discussions with the management team following a formal Bradford approach at the start of the week.
City manager Carl Heeley said: "It has been a tough season for Danny and he is bitterly disappointed and frustrated with his goals return of three to date. A fresh challenge might do him good.
"I have a lot of time for the player and appreciate his loyalty in staying with the club during the summer.
"I would like to thank him for all of his efforts and wish him the best of luck for the rest of this season and in his future career."

Paul Pierce will be out 2-4 weeks because of a broken bone in his right hand, the biggest loss yet for the injury-plagued Brooklyn Nets. Pierce was diagnosed with a nondisplaced fracture of the third metacarpal of his shooting hand, the team said Monday. He was hurt Friday in the first half of a loss at Houston.
The disappointing Nets can hardly afford another injury. They just got back All-Star center Brook Lopez but have still been playing without starting point guard Deron Williams and key reserves Andrei Kirilenko and Jason Terry.
Pierce is on pace for the worst season of his 16-year career. His average of 12.4 points and .368 shooting percentage would easily be his lowest ever.
Miami's LeBron James was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week and Kevin Durant of Oklahoma City received the honor for the Western Conference for games played Nov. 25 through Sunday. James led the Heat to a 4-0 week, scoring 29 points per game and averaging 6.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists. Durant guided the Thunder to a 3-0 mark over the past week. He averaged 27 points per game and had a triple-double against Minnesota on Sunday.

Getting Started guide.
To start using the Cloud Monitoring API right away, see the API Getting Started guide.
To provide feedback on the beta release of Cloud Monitoring, preferably click Send Feedback on the Help menu in the Cloud Monitoring Console. Alternatively, you may email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cloud Monitoring concepts
Resources and groups
A resource is an abstract object provided by certain products, platforms, or services within Google Cloud Platform. For example, Google Compute Engine provides a resource called VM instance, Cloud SQL provides a database instance, Cloud Pub/Sub provides topics, and so forth.
A group is a collection of resources, such as "all VM instances in my project that are running Cassandra." Cloud Monitoring can automatically detect resources that are related and group them together. Groups are not presently available in App Engine-only projects.
A metric is a measured value that can be used to assess a system. Examples of metrics in the Google Cloud Platform include CPU utilization, request processing latency, amount of storage consumed, and so forth. Metrics are typically qualified, or labeled, by particular resources. For example, you can measure the CPU utilization of VM instance A, the request processing latency in web server B, the amount of storage used by project C, and so forth. When a metric is measured over time, it produces a time series of data.
A service metric or platform metric is a metric that is provided for you when you use a particular service or platform. For example, Google App Engine provides a set of platform metrics to its users.
You can define custom metrics to measure any aspect of your system. Custom metrics might include cart checkouts, user logins, or business KPIs. You are responsible for sending your custom metrics data to Cloud Monitoring using the custom-metrics API.
Charts and dashboards
A chart is a named, visual representation of one or more metrics. You can create a chart that displays the time series data for one or more metrics, or you can aggregate several metrics. For example, you can create a chart named "VM Latency" that shows the average CPU utilization for a group of VMs.
A dashboard is a collection of charts and other information such as event logs and incident lists. Dashboards are organized in a single page view. You can create a dashboard to show a snapshot of your system's overall health or to show specific information about factors influencing that health. You can add or remove charts from dashboards as needed.
Uptime checks and events
Uptime checks is a service of Cloud Monitoring. You configure the service to check your system's health by sending requests to your applications, services, or URLs from various locations around the world. You can use the results of the checks as conditions in your alert policies, so you will be notified if system health is degraded.
An event log is a time-ordered list of system events related to your application and to the platforms and services it uses. Examples of events include downtime of the cloud infrastructure, notifications related to your alert policy, and code deployments. You can also add your own events to the log. Event logs are supported by Cloud Monitoring and are different from the logs supported by Google Cloud Logging.
Alerts, notifications, and incidents
An alert policy is a set of rules that determine whether your resources or groups are operating normally. The rules are logical conditions involving metric thresholds and uptime checks. For example, you can create a rule that your web site's average response latency must not exceed five seconds over a period of two minutes.
An alert occurs when an alert policy's conditions are met, causing an incident to appear in the Incidents section of the Cloud Monitoring Console. Incidents remain open until the alert policy rules are no longer in violation or until the incident is manually closed.
You can associate notifications with alert policies. For example, alerts can send email or SMS notifications to people or services.
Google Cloud Monitoring and Stackdriver
Stackdriver is a company that joined Google in May of 2014. Stackdriver created a popular monitoring service for cloud-powered applications. Aspects of Google Cloud Monitoring rely on systems and technologies from Stackdriver.
Google continues to invest in the Stackdriver product to monitor Amazon Web Services while integrating Stackdriver with Google Cloud Platform.

Portland Police Officer Accused of Mistreatment and Racial Profiling is Promoted to Sergeant
Portland police officer Todd Tackett, who the city's Citizen Review Committee found last night was disparaging to an African American man, was promoted this afternoon to sergeant.
Last night's ruling was the result of a complaint filed by 62-year-old Floyd McCorvey last summer that Tackett disrespected and racially profiled him when he falsely accused him of being a pimp and a crackhead and referred to his low-income housing before citing him for jaywalking.
The Portland Police Bureau's initial investigation into the incident found that allegations that Tackett was disrespectful to McCorvey were "unproven."
Furthermore, the city's Independent Police Review division dismissed the part of McCorvey's complaint that alleged racial discrimination.
The volunteer-based Citizen Review Committee, which hears appeals to bureau rulings on citizen complaints, unsuccessfully urged an investigation of Mr. McCorvey's racial discrimination complaint earlier this year.
Their 4-2 ruling last night pertained to the allegation that Tackett was disparaging and discourteous to McCorvey, and recommended the police bureau changed their ruling on that charge from "unproven" to "sustained."
KBOO's Jenn Chavez got more details on the CRC ruling from Portland Copwatch's Dan Handelman.

With his exhibition, "NeoHooDoo: Art for a Forgotten Faith," Sirmans, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at The Menil Collection, has brought the de Menils' legacy of spirituality in art into the 21st century. No staid, meditative Rothko Chapel experience, "NeoHooDoo" was diverse, funky and polytheistic. It also had a lot of women in it. (The late Mrs. de Menil, for all her progressive stances in politics, art and civil rights, was quite dismissive of her own sex and all but ignored work by women artists.) Sirmans is also reinvigorating the permanent collection. His "Everyday People," an exhibition of photographs drawn from The Menil Collection, was a nod to "The Family of Man" exhibition that originally inspired the de Menils to begin collecting photography. But whereas "The Family of Man" was humanistic in a simplistic, idealistic and hokey manner, Sirmans's selections of images presented a blunt, quirky, realistic and nonetheless moving view of the world.

Jay Cutler just became the Bears' all-time passing leader. But what if he never played for the Bears at all?
CSNWashington.com posed this hypothetical as the Redskins fan base has started to sour on quarterback Robert Griffin III: What if Cutler came to the Redskins?
The plausibility stems from the connection between Cutler and Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan, the man who drafted Cutler when coaching the Broncos. Both left Denver after the 2008 season, with Shanahan fired and Cutler dealt to the Bears as the new regime wished to start over again at QB, as well.
[MORE: Bears-Packers Viewer's Guide: Cutler needs to out-manage Rodgers]
Shanahan quickly landed in Washington, and he had interest in bringing Cutler along with him. CSNWashington's trip down memory lane cites a report that said the Broncos preferred the Bears' package because it included Kyle Orton, while the Redskins offered up Jason Campbell. Ironically, Campbell ended up backing up Cutler in Chicago.
Everything worked out just fine for the Broncos. This season, they have Hall of Famer Peyton Manning under center and one of the best teams in football. But, with the Redskins going through a whole lot of drama with Griffin and fans and media in Chicago wondering whether it's a good idea for the Bears to bring Cutler back after this season, imagining what could have been is certainly an interesting undertaking.

I doubt there's anyone reading this who hasn't heard about Mel Gibson's abusive, racist rants at his ex-girlfriend. The guy's a real charmer.
But hardly one of a kind.
Be honest. How many of us have found ourselves in relationships with men (or women) who we thought, at first, were really decent human beings only to realize that they sometimes turned into crazy, ranting assholes?
Come on, I know I'm not the only one. There's a reason the whole Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story has such strong staying power. It's hard to know, ever, what lurks beneath the surface of another person. And sometimes what's lurking is a hot-headed, irrational, abusive jerk.
All that said, sometimes I wonder how rare these things are. Because when one of these cases comes to light (famous person is a raging lunatic) people act as if they've never heard of such of thing. As if he's the first verbally (in this case, probably physically abusive, too) person in the world. When really, I'm thinking a lot of people have been in verbally abusive relationships. Sadly.
What about you.

Analysts are projecting sales of $33.9 million. The company blamed the earnings shortfall on increased SG&A expenses and a higher-than-expected tax rate.

Rose Nylund (née Lindstrom) is a fictional character featured on the popular 1980s situation comedy The Golden Girls, and its spin-off The Golden Palace. She was portrayed by Betty White for 8 years, totaling 208 episodes. Rose was originally supposed to be played by Rue McClanahan and Blanche Devereaux, one of Rose's roommates, was to be played by Betty White. However, Jay Sandrich, the director of the show, suggested that Betty and Rue switch parts. He felt that Betty would be a better fit for Rose because she had already played Sue Ann Nivens in the television show The Mary Tyler Moore Show, which is similar to the character of Blanche Devereaux.[1]
Fictional biography[edit]
Rose was born in St. Olaf, Minnesota to a monk named Brother Martin and a 19-year-old girl named Ingrid Kerklavoner, who died giving birth to Rose. Brother Martin claimed to have not known about Rose's existence until after she had been given up for adoption. During that same episode, Rose explains that she was adopted by the Lindstroms at an early age after she was left on a doorstep in a basket with some hickory-smoked cheese and some crackers. It was stated that she was valedictorian in her high school graduation (fourth out of nineteen, and was chosen valedictorian because she drew the longest straw), she attended St. Paul Business School, Rockport Community College, and St. Gustaf University, but also that she had never graduated from high school (due to a case of mono). Nevertheless, she was voted "most likely to get stuck in a tuba" by one of her graduating classes. Her parents did not allow her to date until she was a high school senior, and between then and her wedding day, she had fifty-six boyfriends. Charlie Nylund and Rose fell in love and later married. She and Charlie had a very active sex life—to the extent that she didn't even know there was a show named I Love Lucy—and a long and happy marriage. Over the course of the series, Rose names five children: Brigit, Jenella, Kiersten, Adam, and Charlie Jr. Rose also had two granddaughters by Kiersten - Charlie (named for Kiersten's father) and another unnamed, mentioned in the episode where Rose had her heart attack. Of her children, only Brigit and Kiersten appeared on the show (although Kiersten was played by two different actresses).
Rose lost Charlie when he had a heart attack in 1980 while he and Rose were making love and this gave Rose a fear of sexual intimacy for several years thereafter. Years later, another boyfriend of Rose's died in a similar fashion. Charlie and Rose's marriage length is unclear. However, they met when (she was seven and he was eight) Charlie sold Rose an insurance policy on her red wagon, which was eventually trampled by a group of hogs (her policy did not cover acts of swine - but Charlie paid for a new wagon anyway). Although it was mentioned in the 1985 pilot episode that Charlie had been dead for 15 years, in the first season episode "Job Hunting", Rose says that she had been a housewife for 32 years when Charlie died in 1980. In the late-first season episode "Job Hunting," Dorothy states that Rose is 55 years old in 1985, which would put her birth year in 1930. This would make her 55 when the series begins and 62 when the final season of The Golden Palace goes off the air in 1993.
Charlie is the only spouse of the four women on The Golden Girls the audience never sees. Even with Blanche, we see her late husband George in a dream, and in an episode where George's brother comes to visit and looks exactly like George. We see Sal Petrillo in Sophia's Brooklyn flashbacks, and Stan Zbornak is a recurring character. But we never get a glimpse of Rose's Charlie leaving him the most mysterious of the Golden Girls husbands. In an episode of The Golden Palace, a man said to bear an incredibly strong resemblance to Charlie makes an appearance, in which the look-alike is played by Eddie Albert.
Rose was laid off from her job at the grief counseling center in season 1, and briefly worked as a waitress at the Fountain Roc Coffee Shop (most likely created by combining names from the famous Miami Beach hotels Fountainbleu and Eden Roc) before being rehired at the counseling center shortly after. Later on in the series, Rose suffers financial difficulties when her late husband's employer files for bankruptcy and her pension is cut off. She suffers from age discrimination in her attempts to get a new job, but her luck changes when she gets a position as assistant to TV consumer reporter Enrique Más. Rose finally finds a significant romance with college professor Miles Webber, though their relationship is put through a serious strain when it is revealed that Miles is actually a former mobster accountant named Nicholas Carbone, and a participant in the witness protection program. His former employer, "The Cheese Man," begins dating Rose in order to get information on Miles's whereabouts. Eventually The Cheese Man is apprehended, Rose and Miles resume their lives together, and all goes well for the next year or so. In season 7, Rose and Miles consider marriage, but ultimately decide against rushing into anything. Their relationship later ends permanently during an episode of the spin-off show The Golden Palace when Rose discovers that Miles loves and subsequently marries another woman.
St. Olaf[edit]
According to Rose, St. Olaf is a Norwegian farming settlement in northern Minnesota, known on local license plates as "Big Statue Country". During the show's seven-year run, St. Olaf was only seen twice in flashbacks and once when the girls visited during an episode in which Rose was nominated for St Olaf's Woman of the Year award.
One of St. Olaf's chief attractions is a giant black hole, which the townspeople enjoyed standing around and looking at - which prompted Dorothy to refer to St. Olaf sarcastically as the real "entertainment capital of the world." St. Olafians also celebrate various oddly themed festivals. St. Olaf appears to be a bilingual town with a significant amount of unique vocabulary (that may be specific to the area and not appearing in standard Norwegian). One of the unique attractions of St. Olaf is Mt. Losenbauden, which features the faces of losing presidential candidates, complete with Adlai Stevenson twice.
St. Olaf, it is suggested by Rose's stories and all but declared by Anna in a Mother's Day episode, is full of idiots. "I don't mean to say that everyone there is an idiot, but it just seemed that, per capita, they have more than their share." Anna happily replies when Rose tells her that her children figured out that it would be cheaper for Rose to visit the family than it would for the family to visit Rose: "They figured that out, and they live in St. Olaf? You must be very proud!"
Although all four women volunteered their time, Rose was arguably the most involved in charity work. She drove a bookmobile, was a candy striper at a hospital, and helped organize a charity talent show, among other things. She listed cheese making, stamp collecting and Viking history as hobbies on her resume, as well. She also volunteered as a girl scout troop leader. Rose was a perennial runner up for a Volunteer of the Year award, even coming in second one year to a woman who was already dead.
Rose is simple minded and something of a pushover who rarely stands up for herself. On one occasion her blind sister Lily tried to guilt Rose into moving to Chicago to take care of her. At Dorothy's urging, Rose said no to Lily which forced her (Lily) to learn how to care for herself. In The Golden Palace, Rose has a much more resilient will and becomes a much stronger personality after Dorothy's departure from the group (as Dorothy notes during her lone appearance on The Golden Palace—"Seems Like Old Times"—when she states "When did she become the strong one?!").
Dorothy and Rose often clashed on-air, with Rose being generally upbeat and Dorothy reflecting a more terse, down-to-earth worldview. This reflected real-life tension between Bea Arthur and Betty White, who had similar personalities to their characters in real life.[2]
Running gag[edit]
Rose is the fool of the group, and has been the center of a few running gags. The most common being that she would ask a really stupid question, the others would look at her oddly, and then say something sarcastic (most noticeably Dorothy and Sophia), such as on the episode Transplant from Season 1, where Blanche's sister Virginia comes to visit. Blanche, tired of her sister always wanting something of hers is shocked when Virginia reveals she is dying and needs a kidney transplant. When Blanche tells the girls that Virginia wants her kidney, Rose asks "Why does she need a kidney?" Dorothy explodes "To feed the cat, Rose!". In another episode, Dorothy and Blanche were talking about the film Dirty Dancing, with Dorothy saying how "well" they dance in that movie. Rose, in the meantime, who was not in the conversation asked "what movie?", and Dorothy snapped at Rose and sarcastically says, "Lawrence of Arabia, Rose!" This came back to bite them when on a couple of episodes where the roof was leaking, Rose walks out of her room carrying two buckets in her hands and Dorothy asks if the ceiling in her room is leaking too, and Rose says "No, Dorothy, I just finished milking the cow I keep in my closet!" She then says "Gee, with only 3 hours of sleep I can be as bitchy as you!", and on another episode (where her sister Holly comes to visit, much to the dismay of Rose) Rose says she's a flautist. Dorothy asks Rose if she plays a flute, and Rose comes back and says, "No, Dorothy, she plays a 'flaut'. It's a big instrument that looks like a tuba, and has hair at the bottom of it. Of course she plays a flute!". At one extremely rare point where Dorothy and Blanche had gotten into an argument, neither of them cares that the dog that Rose takes in off the street is sick and needs immediate veterinary care; after their argument, both Dorothy and Blanche leave the kitchen. Then Rose, with the dog in her hand, says, "Don't explain, Rose. I used to live with a couple of bitches myself." (imitating the puppy, as if he was speaking).
Rose's hair color is something debated from time to time. She claims it's her natural color, but several characters have said it was cheap hair dye. Once, while Rose was talking about how she never lied, Dorothy asked her what her natural hair color was. She left the room. On one occasion, Sophia remarks that she is known as a dumb blonde. In another episode while Blanche was discussing her hair's "natural hue" Rows (as she spelled it out for an acquaintance once in an episode later in the series) had mentioned "To be perfectly honest -I use a touch of peroxide". This confession of course came out of the blue irrelevantly (in this particular episode) and was immediately followed by an irritated Dorothy who shouted "OH, SHUT UP ROSE"!
Health issues[edit]
Rose suffered a number of major health problems during the series. In season 2, she had an esophageal spasm that caused a near-death experience. In season 4, Rose came clean about a decades-long addiction to prescription painkillers. Rose also endured an HIV scare in season 5, when she was alerted that a blood transfusion she had received during a cholecystectomy six years before may have been tainted with the virus. In season 7, Rose suffered a major heart attack and had to have a triple bypass surgery.
Additional appearances[edit]
Outside The Golden Girls, Rose appears on three episodes of Empty Nest - "Strange Bedfellows", "Rambo of Neiman Marcus" and "Dr. Weston and Mr. Hyde". She also appears on the Nurses episode "Begone with the Wind".
