text: Old Log Theater's Mahalia, starring Sandra Robinson Hodges with Dianne E'Laine and Sam Reeves Old Log Theater is flaws and all, a winning ticket. This is the second go around for the production, which premiered at Old Log in 1994. Ironically it's a slice of African American theater, indeed, a page from Black history, running way out in the middle of White suburbia. And well worth the trip. Local gospel luminary Sandra Robinson Hodges is a natural to play Mahalia Jackson, the music immortal, civil rights activist and cultural icon. Continue Reading →

Small & Medium Utility Companies -- 10 Things to Consider Before Renewing on your IT Journey
- Have A Core IT Team:
If you are a medium sized company, it pays to invest in establishing an IT core team within the organization. They act as anchors for the company and translate SI jargon appropriately. These positions to be staffed with profiles having work experience in consulting companies, rather than trying to develop someone in-house. Such laterals will know where to look for and what to look for during the project life cycle.
- Hire a Solution Assurance Team:
Core team may not be able to handle specific requirements of individual major project in terms of technology or size. It pays off well to hire companies specialized in Solution Assurance Services. Their tasks would be:
- Support Program Management Office
- Proactive Planning & Analysis through effective verification process & hence bring transparency in the program
- Proactive monitoring of Program issues and goals
- Ensure effective communications across streams
- Ensure stringent Change Control policy & its adoption
- Solution Assurance & Validation
- Adherence to business strategy & Vision
- Optimization of IT strategy and system architecture
- Infusion of Business Best Practices and hence alignment to future product development
- Seamless integration of all the implementation phases
- Choosing a Vendor :
The Vendor should have capability to serve your long term IT strategy, in terms of technology and size. Having a long term relationship with Vendors will have benefits; you will be able to appreciate this difference especially with offshore Vendors While commercials are important, that shall not be the sole factor for deciding, with whom to partner.
Don't rely on just the experience of Vendors and case studies, specifically for Implementation projects. It makes a lot of difference in terms of who will actually landup in your program. While you agree on the terms of contract, set out the minimum profile/ experience levels of the individuals who will be on-boarded for key roles such as Program Manager, Design Lead, Change Manager, etc.
- Ready to Change :
Package implementations deliver maximum benefit only when you adopt the best practices built into the product and align to the future product development cycle.
Key benefits of adopting Industry Best Practices from the package are:
- Avoid common beginners' mistakes
- Consistent approach
- Save time and money Achieve predicted results
- Reduced risks
- Fast track to extending your business solution with new business processes
- Focusing on integrated end-to-end business processes
- Start off with a fully documented process
- No trial runs
- Failure is not an option!
- It works: what you see is what you get for implementation
- Give Your Time
You are the expert of your processes; the vender comes with knowledge of what other companies have done or with what product can offer. You need to ensure that your business experts spend lot of time with Vendor's consultants especially during Blueprinting Phase. Ensure following key gating criteria of signing off the TO-BE process documents by Business owners before moving to realization phase.
- Data First
In the working experience of the author, he is yet to see a company which can claim to have got it's data quality right. Get started with data profiling and data cleansing program at the very beginning of a product implementation project. Typical tendency for a project team is to design the system and see how to fit in legacy data. This can work effectively, with some data transformations, where data quality is right. Data Cleansing is a daunting task, especially, when the data source is geographically spread. Data cleansing is typically manual work requiring many hands over a long time. Only where one can manipulate data using a standard routine, follow the automated route.
- Not familiar with Product?
When you are faced with challenge of choosing a product, do not hesitate to ask for demo or a Proof of Concept (POC) work from your vendor. If the vendor is confident of the product selection, they will spend time and energy to showcase the fitment. References and testimonials have limitations. If you have time or if you still see a huge risk, go for a Pilot Implementation before adopting at the Enterprise level.
- Business Core Team
Business Applications are getting complicated. It takes time to understand what it can do and what its limitations are. The understanding of the limitation is critical for Business team to understand the language of the Application consultant. Ensure core team is trained on the product to certain level of proficiency before on boarding them.
- Business Champions
While you depend on the Support Vendor, you still need 'floor walkers' to run your business with the new application. These are the people who will remain working in business but who will have a higher level of product understanding. Business core team from the implementation can be transformed into these business champions. As a core team, their involvement in the design & testing will provide the required exposure to have the edge to be a 'floor walker'.
- Application Maintenance
In general, if the implementation vendor continues to support after golive, you will see better governance, continuity and accountability. Decide it upfront, as it assures you of cost benefit from the vendor. If the organization plans to bring in a new vendor for Support, ensure they are on boarded quite in advance. It's recommended to involve support vendor in Independent Quality Assurance work during the testing phase itself. This will help bringing ownership and specific implementation understanding before handover from the Implementation vendor.

When it comes to popular fitness games Just Dance 4 for the Wii must rate as pretty average among a pretty bad bunch. The basic recipe is simple and is used by many titles, you get some exercise and hopefully keep fit by dancing to music, its not rocket science.
The immediate aim of the game is to copy the moves of the dancer on the screen, with the Wii control in hand to sense your movements. Your accuracy in following the on screen dance moves is measured by signals sent back to the game by your in hand Wii controller. The game is so simple that an explanation here is really not needed.
Each song has a different backdrop and this is supposed reflect the mood of the song and to some little extent it does so, with a little imagination on the player's part. Flashing lights recreate a club atmosphere and each attempt of the dancer is met by a round of applause at the end.
Perhaps the most important and entertaining part of the game is the song selection. This offers some of the best choices from recent top ten charts, but then so do most other games in this genre.
The only saving grace of this type of game is the element of competition which has been introduced, giving some incentive to the players to make some sort of effort, and creating some sort of party atmosphere, but I think that the party atmosphere needs to be there in the first place before anyone is likely to want to take part. Without the element of competition you might just as well turn on your radio of CD player and dance along.
I am sure these games are aimed at teenage or pre-teen girls, and there is nothing wrong in that, and so perhaps I am not the best person to commentate on this particular game, being neither teen, pre-teen or female, so I will give a rating from the perspective of its target audience, who will almost certainly mark it higher than me, and doing so, I think it is probably worth a seven from ten.

Installation and Administration Best practices
From PostgreSQL wiki
(→Compiling and installing in Solaris)
|Line 38:

TODO: Add a workaround for the most common issues.
TODO: Add a workaround for the most common issues.
=== Multiple Versions on the same host ===
=== Multiple Versions on the same host ===
Revision as of 15:50, 24 August 2009
This page is under construction.
This page will contain information about the best way to install and maintain a Postgresql database, including environment variables, paths and other relevant stuff.
Fell free to add your suggestions and knowledge to make it a 'hands on' resorce.
Self compiled vs. package distributed
Before installing, consider whether to use packages distributed with your operating system or whether to roll your own. (Compiling PostgreSQL on Windows might be a difficult task. It's quite easy on Linux/Unix boxes.)
Let's compare using a pre-built package and compiling PostgreSQL yourself. (Note: This is a rather Linux-centric view. For Windows, you almost always might want to use the binary packages provided for each release.)
|Using pre-built package from distribution
|Compiling yourself.
|Very easy to install - just use your package manager.
|You might need to install gcc and some development packages just for building PostgreSQL.
|Installation is dependent on distribution (location of config files, initial tablespace).
|You may install everything in one place, just where you want it.
|Startup-scripts are included and supposed to work.
|You need to provide your own system startup scripts.
|The packages might be out of date or new minor versions might not become available frequently.
|You are free to use the latest stable version and perform upgrades at your will.
|The package management knows about the PostgreSQL installation and will update it.
|Your package management doesn't know anything about the installation. Dependent libraries might get uninstalled or replaced by newer, incompatible versions. (Note: This is rather unlikely. I've never seen it happen. PostgreSQL doesn't depend on any strange or fast-evolving packages.)
Compiling and installing in Solaris
TODO: Add a workaround for the most common issues.
Compiling in Solaris using Sun Studio 12
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql84 CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc 'CFLAGS=-xO3 -xarch=native -xspace -W0,-Lt -W2,-Rcond_elim -Xa -xildoff -xc99=none -xCC' --datadir=/usr/local/pgsql84/data84 --enable-dtrace --enable-cassert --with-perl --with-python --with-libxml --with-libxslt --with-ossp-uuid --without-readline
- OSol don't have readline library
- Maybe you don't need --enable-cassert option.
UUID: There is a problem with UUID library in Open Solaris 200911. If some one have a workaround in this, please post it.
Multiple Versions on the same host
If you have to install multiple PostgreSQL versions at the same host, compile from source and call configure like this:
./configure --prefix=/opt/postgresql-8.2.11 --with-pgport=8200
That way, you never need to worry what version you are talking with - you just look at the port number.
Making sure it starts up at system boot time
TODO: Provide a default init script (if there's not already one in contrib/).
Recommended values to be changed in big servers
In Linux, the SHMMAX value is setted in a historical value. So, depending on your server, the first value to be changed is SHMMAX and SHMALL.
Example of a high configuration:
- /etc/sysctl.conf
fs.file-max = 32768 kernel.shmmax = 1073741824 kernel.shmall = 536870912
How to calculate? One of the equations is:
250kb + 8.2kb * shared_buffers +14.2kb * max_connections
Why this value is important? This value govern shared memory allocation with other values. If you try to assign high values in Postgresql but you don't touch this values, Postgresql may not run.
One interest link could be visited here.
Directories Location Recommended
TODO: Explain about where may be located the dirs of data.
Versioning sql scripts and configuration files
As you are doing right now (versioning the sql scripts), other best practice is to version the configuration files. Not only a simple versioning, remember that you have several envoronments (Development, Test, Production).
Other good practice, is to have versioned the DBA modifications in a separated script (SET STORAGE modifications, special indexes and rules, etc).
TODO: Paste a example.
Backup and Recovery strategies
TODO: How to perform those tasks.
Users athentications
TODO: How to control OS users and DB users.

47 U.S. Code § 224 - Pole attachments
prev | next
(a) Definitions
As used in this section:
(1) The term "utility" means any person who is a local exchange carrier or an electric, gas, water, steam, or other public utility, and who owns or controls poles, ducts, conduits, or rights-of-way used, in whole or in part, for any wire communications. Such term does not include any railroad, any person who is cooperatively organized, or any person owned by the Federal Government or any State.
(2) The term "Federal Government" means the Government of the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof.
(3) The term "State" means any State, territory, or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia, or any political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof.
(4) The term "pole attachment" means any attachment by a cable television system or provider of telecommunications service to a pole, duct, conduit, or right-of-way owned or controlled by a utility.
(b) Authority of Commission to regulate rates, terms, and conditions; enforcement powers; promulgation of regulations
(1) Subject to the provisions of subsection (c) of this section, the Commission shall regulate the rates, terms, and conditions for pole attachments to provide that such rates, terms, and conditions are just and reasonable, and shall adopt procedures necessary and appropriate to hear and resolve complaints concerning such rates, terms, and conditions. For purposes of enforcing any determinations resulting from complaint procedures established pursuant to this subsection, the Commission shall take such action as it deems appropriate and necessary, including issuing cease and desist orders, as authorized by section 312 (b) of this title.
(c) State regulatory authority over rates, terms, and conditions; preemption; certification; circumstances constituting State regulation
(1) Nothing in this section shall be construed to apply to, or to give the Commission jurisdiction with respect to rates, terms, and conditions, or access to poles, ducts, conduits, and rights-of-way as provided in subsection (f) of this section, for pole attachments in any case where such matters are regulated by a State.
(2) Each State which regulates the rates, terms, and conditions for pole attachments shall certify to the Commission that—
(3) For purposes of this subsection, a State shall not be considered to regulate the rates, terms, and conditions for pole attachments—
(A) unless the State has issued and made effective rules and regulations implementing the State's regulatory authority over pole attachments; and
(B) with respect to any individual matter, unless the State takes final action on a complaint regarding such matter—
(d) Determination of just and reasonable rates; "usable space" defined
(1) For purposes of subsection (b) of this section, a rate is just and reasonable if it assures a utility the recovery of not less than the additional costs of providing pole attachments, nor more than an amount determined by multiplying the percentage of the total usable space, or the percentage of the total duct or conduit capacity, which is occupied by the pole attachment by the sum of the operating expenses and actual capital costs of the utility attributable to the entire pole, duct, conduit, or right-of-way.
(2) As used in this subsection, the term "usable space" means the space above the minimum grade level which can be used for the attachment of wires, cables, and associated equipment.
(3) This subsection shall apply to the rate for any pole attachment used by a cable television system solely to provide cable service. Until the effective date of the regulations required under subsection (e) of this section, this subsection shall also apply to the rate for any pole attachment used by a cable system or any telecommunications carrier (to the extent such carrier is not a party to a pole attachment agreement) to provide any telecommunications service.
(e) Regulations governing charges; apportionment of costs of providing space
(1) The Commission shall, no later than 2 years after February 8, 1996, prescribe regulations in accordance with this subsection to govern the charges for pole attachments used by telecommunications carriers to provide telecommunications services, when the parties fail to resolve a dispute over such charges. Such regulations shall ensure that a utility charges just, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory rates for pole attachments.
(2) A utility shall apportion the cost of providing space on a pole, duct, conduit, or right-of-way other than the usable space among entities so that such apportionment equals two-thirds of the costs of providing space other than the usable space that would be allocated to such entity under an equal apportionment of such costs among all attaching entities.
(3) A utility shall apportion the cost of providing usable space among all entities according to the percentage of usable space required for each entity.
(4) The regulations required under paragraph (1) shall become effective 5 years after February 8, 1996. Any increase in the rates for pole attachments that result from the adoption of the regulations required by this subsection shall be phased in equal annual increments over a period of 5 years beginning on the effective date of such regulations.
(f) Nondiscriminatory access
(1) A utility shall provide a cable television system or any telecommunications carrier with nondiscriminatory access to any pole, duct, conduit, or right-of-way owned or controlled by it.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), a utility providing electric service may deny a cable television system or any telecommunications carrier access to its poles, ducts, conduits, or rights-of-way, on a non-discriminatory [1] basis where there is insufficient capacity and for reasons of safety, reliability and generally applicable engineering purposes.
(g) Imputation to costs of pole attachment rate
A utility that engages in the provision of telecommunications services or cable services shall impute to its costs of providing such services (and charge any affiliate, subsidiary, or associate company engaged in the provision of such services) an equal amount to the pole attachment rate for which such company would be liable under this section.
(h) Modification or alteration of pole, duct, conduit, or right-of-way
Whenever the owner of a pole, duct, conduit, or right-of-way intends to modify or alter such pole, duct, conduit, or right-of-way, the owner shall provide written notification of such action to any entity that has obtained an attachment to such conduit or right-of-way so that such entity may have a reasonable opportunity to add to or modify its existing attachment. Any entity that adds to or modifies its existing attachment after receiving such notification shall bear a proportionate share of the costs incurred by the owner in making such pole, duct, conduit, or right-of-way accessible.
(i) Costs of rearranging or replacing attachment
An entity that obtains an attachment to a pole, conduit, or right-of-way shall not be required to bear any of the costs of rearranging or replacing its attachment, if such rearrangement or replacement is required as a result of an additional attachment or the modification of an existing attachment sought by any other entity (including the owner of such pole, duct, conduit, or right-of-way).
[1] So in original. Probably should be "nondiscriminatory".

1. Right, but soccer can only have gone national as a result of a planned expansion programme. What was the RFU and the NU doing while soccer was doing this? Was the split especially ill-timed in terms of gaining footholds in new territory for all codes?
2. The NU heading to Wales seemed to happen just before WW1. Already a bit late perhaps? Or just badly done? Socio-economic factors would suggest the area was ripe for NU expansion.
3. Some say soccer is just the easier game to play & follow and that's why it won in the end, regardless of any initiatives undertaken by governing bodies.
4, Other than Tony Collins and Trevor Delaney, where would I start reading on this?
1. No, the round ball game played to various rules e.g. London, Nottingham and sheffield rules. The rules being codified into one game brought several strong regions together, and thus a national game was produced. This enabled clubs to travel farther afield for better fixtures and more money, money, money and money. I don't think there was planned expansion of the "sport" just a nationwide ambition to get on the national professional game of soccer bandwagon.
2. Yes Wales and the north of England were soul mates but travelling costs were ruinous of the project and TBH I think those that stayed in the NU game were largely parochial people (as they often are today - CRUSADERS OUT!!! LONDON OUT!!!)and were not happy with long range expansion.
3. I have always said that Mark. Rugby was OK on the playing fields of the public schools but in the industrial cities it was a hard game to play. Even today soccer rules because it's fundamentally easier to play. Many lads who are in two minds I have worked with in junior clubs are in doubt regarding the physical element of Rugby.
4. Jeez where do I start Mark?? There was an explosion of RL books in the 1980's and beyond the club histories came histories like those on the split from Collins and Delaney, but also look at histories of soccer and RU, there's a great history of RL in wales from London League Publications etc etc (ANY HELP FOR MARK HERE ANYONE) the problem is most books are a bit "narrow" they are about soccer or about RL or about RU so it is hard to be able to recommend any books that deal with the historical relationship between the three codes.
I know how that happened in Leeds because I went to the library and read it all up from newspapers at the time, but a nationwide study is something I have not seen and to be frank would be an incredible book that maybe is yet to be written.

Kraft, Heinz to Merge, Forming $28 Billion Food Company
Kraft Foods, maker of Velveeta cheese, will merge with ketchup maker H.J. Heinz Co to form North America's third-largest food and beverage company.
Kraft Foods, maker of Velveeta cheese, will merge with ketchup maker H.J. Heinz Co to form North America's third-largest food and beverage company.
Kraft Foods Group says that CEO Tony Vernon plans to retire later this month, and names Chairman John Cahill as his successor.
Despite Jell-O's enduring place in pop culture, sales have tumbled in the past four years, and questions remain whether Kraft Foods can revive the brand.
Escalating violence in Ukraine and a warning from Russian President Putin made investors wary Friday, and overshadowed a surprisingly strong jobs report.
Kraft Foods is recalling 96,000 pounds of its Oscar Mayer wieners because they may mistakenly contain cheese.
Activist investor Nelson Peltz wants PepsiCo to split itself into two parts, with one firm selling snacks and the other beverages. Perhaps this is not the best idea.
From food giants to tech bellwethers, here are some of the things that will help shape the week that lies ahead on Wall Street.
Kraft Foods says some customers may not be able to find Velveeta cheese over the next few weeks, though no reasons were given for the apparent shortage.
From a surprisingly strong report from Macy's to Starbucks paying a super-Venti price for breaking a contract, here are the week's best and worst moves in the business world.
Stocks ended the day a bit lower, but Wall Street still finished October with a gain, and the S&P had its best month since July, despite Washington's budget and debt crisis.
J.C. Penney hires an executive from the food world to reconnect with its shoppers.
Halloween is all fun and screams, but the dark reality of our festival of the spooky and the sweet is this: Behind most of the chocolate you hand out, there are Third World workers -- many of them children -- suffering real horrors of their own.
Warren Buffett was clearly in a selling mood during the second quarter: He unloaded big stakes in consumer products companies and put Intel outside his portfolio altogether. But he didn't just sit on the cash.
Organic foods used to be niche products: hard to find and with limited selections. Now, organic is booming, and it's everywhere from Safeway to Costco. But the standards for what can be called "organic" have changed.
If you feel like your morning cup of coffee has gotten more bitter lately, its not a gustatory illusion: Many of America's major brands have been quietly tweaking their blends to keep their prices level.
Wal-Mart, the world's No. 1 retailer and the biggest seller of firearms in the United States, is dropping out of a U.S. conservative advocacy group that has been a lightning rod over voting and gun laws.
How much would you pay for a cup of Starbucks coffee? Starbucks hopes it's a lot, because it has been hiking drink prices. Meanwhile, everybody else in the coffee biz seems to be doing the exact opposite.
Kraft just celebrated the Oreo's centennial. But with sales at a stunning $2 billion a year, the Oreo is no longer just "Milk's favorite cookie," or America's, for that matter -- it's a global powerhouse.
He famously wears a hoodie, jeans and sneakers, and he was born the year Apple introduced the Macintosh. But Mark Zuckerberg is no boy-CEO. Facebook's chief executive turned 28 on Monday, setting in motion the social network's biggest week ever.
You won't find java-slurping hipsters at Jamba Juice's (JMBA) growing chain of smoothie shops. There isn't a barista to be found, though employees...
When the new Verismo coffeemaker shows up later this year, java buffs will be able to make Starbucks-quality espresso, cappuccino and latte beverages at home. But will the fancy European coffee drinks it'll crank out really be as good as Starbucks? Starbucks probably hopes so.
Executives ask themselves daily: "What can I do to give my company an edge?" Studies show that the answer may be as simple as hiring more women for executive and board of director roles. So you just might want to invest in these six companies that have done just that.
Hershey has been disturbingly lax in addressing abusive child labor practices in the Africa's cocoa industry, and recently, over 100,000 consumers let the company know they're not pleased. Now the chocolatier is changing its ways -- just in time.
Just a few months ago, coffee-related companies were as hot as a steaming cup of joe. Buoyant coffee bean prices, a growing consumer appetite for premium coffee, and a few company-specific events fueled a rally in the niche. But the hype has lost it caffeine buzz, and prices are way down.
For most of the past decade, buying Oreos or Trident gum for your kids meant sending money to the Marlboro Man. Those brands have gone their separate ways, but there are still many odd matches in the wild world of conglomerates, where companies own siblings that don't really look like one another.
If you're new to stock investing, you're probably looking for a slam dunk: a company you've heard of, with a business that's not hard to understand, a great reputation -- and great prospects for growth over the long term. Here's one tasty stock that offers all of that.
Kraft Foods is recalling about 137,000 cases of Velveeta Shells & Cheese Microwaveable Cups because they might be tainted with wire-bristle pieces, the company announced Friday. The company said it has received no reports of injuries or complaints, and that it was voluntarily issuing the recall to be on the safe side.
Kraft split into two, spinning off its North American grocery business from its faster-growing international snacks business Friday. Here's what the move means for shareholders, and why it makes sense.
A bruising session on Wall Street Thursday wiped more than 500 points off the Dow - its worst drop since October 2008. Driving the fear is growing concern about the possibility of another recession. Will the selloff continue Friday? It all depends on the Labor Department's employment report.
Kraft Foods announced Thursday plans to split into two publicly traded companies, with one concentrating on snacks while the other focuses on the North American grocery business.

Some are definitely for a set purpose (eg Amber Rubarth's Binaural "Tundra" for imaging and sound-stage), whilst others are simply tracks I know well - and use so that I can cross check headphones for a wide range of suitability across genres. Still others are there simply because they reflect my eclectic taste in music All of the music listed I do actually own - most on CD, converted to FLAC.

Never Bring a Knife to a Taser Fight
by Crowley
posted Nov 9 2011 4:45PM
Today's Rock life story I had forwarded to me by a friend of the show, Captain Dan - Thanks Dan!
Dateline, Friday October 28th 2011 - Canandaigua, New York - Meet 28 year old Uriah J. Cayer of Middle Cheshire Road. Late that Thursday night into Friday morning, something had happened at Uriah's house...because according to reports he was there with a woman.
Whatever they were doing, whether it was partying or just hangin' out, it didn't turn out quite they way I'm sure Uriah had expected...because the police were called to his house around 12:50 in the morning. Allegedly, Uriah had struck the woman in the head. And when police got there, he wasn't having any of it...he wasn't going quietly.
You see, Uriah decided to arm himself with "several knives and a sword and refused to put them down when deputies arrived."
There was a bit of a standoff until police decided to pull out the taser - then ZAP Bam boom, Uriah folded like a cheap rug. He was taken into custody and held without bail until he could be arraigned.
Uriah Cayer, for bringing a knife & a sword to a taser fight, you are the Rock Life Subject.

text: Riot tactics: upgrading the water cannon Technology 12 August 11 by David Hambling Flickr.com / Isbi Armor Could water cannon help quell the sort of street rioting we have seen this week? David Cameron is an enthusiast, announcing that water cannon from Northern Ireland could be deployed on the streets of England at twenty-four hours' notice. Others have sounded a note of caution, so perhaps it's time to look at upgrades to the basic giant super-soaker.Water cannon are usually mounted in big, armoured vehicles. This is good for riot situations, where they look intimidating and show rioters that you mean business. However, they're not well suited to chasing looters down side streets, and this is where technology can make the difference.Indelible Dye The British first experimented with adding dye to water cannon in Belfast in the 1970's, but did not pursue the idea. However, many other countries have taken to using water cannon loaded with indelible dye as a means of marking protesters for future arrest, as well as making them look ridiculous.A whole rainbow of colours has been used. In Uganda earlier this year pink dye was employed to humiliate protesters. In Israel, Palestinian rioters may expect a spray of deep blue, the colour of the Israeli flag. The Hungarian police use green, the Koreans orange.This tactic can backfire. When police used purple-dyed water in South Africa in 1989, it blurred racial distinctions, turning both black and white protesters into purple people. The protesters managed to direct the spray of purple dye on to the National Party headquarters. This became a symbol of the protest, and the graffiti proclaiming "The Purple Shall Govern" appeared everywhere.A more subtle approach is to use invisible dye that only shows up under UV light, a technique used for marking suspected insurgents in Afghanistan. UK company Smartwater goes even further, with invisibly coded sprays which can record exactly where a suspect was sprayed. These provide solid forensic evidence for a prosecution.Foul-smelling Skunk Being knocked down and briefly soaked might not be much of a deterrent. So the Israeli Defence Force has developed one of the most foul-smelling substances imaginable, known as Skunk, which it uses as an additive in its water cannon. One journalist who was exposed to it says that "if you mixed dirty diapers with not-so-fresh road kill and left them all in the sun for a few days, you might get an idea."Skunk stays with you in spite of repeated washing and scrubbing, and the powerful stench makes it hard to think of anything else. The Skunked journalist reported that he could still smell it five days later. This sort of spray makes it easy to identify rioters after the event, as well as making them unpopular with their cellmates. It might also discourage looters -- who wants a pair of trainers with a built-in bad odour? However, there's also likely to be an issue with collateral damage, in the form of a lasting stink anywhere it is used. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

After getting away with cash in a convenience store holdup late last month, police say the same crook continues to return to the scene of that robbery to carry out the same crime over and over again.
Early Friday morning marked the third time in less than three weeks that the Diamond Shamrock on 5670 Palmer Park was robbed.
The crime has been carried out in an almost identical manner each time: the suspect enters the Diamond Shamrock in the middle of the night carrying a hammer, approaches the clerk demanding cash, then runs away from the area before police arrive. In two of the robberies, including the one on Friday, the suspect was also carrying a knife and stole cigarettes as well.
The suspect description has also been the same in the three robberies, leading police to believe it is the same man each time. He's described as a white man in his 20s, 6 feet tall, wearing dark clothing.
The Diamond Shamrock was first robbed on October 28, then robbed exactly one week later on November 4.
Friday, police say the store was robbed around 2:50 a.m. and the suspect is believed to have ran in a northwest direction from the store. Police dogs were brought to the scene to help track him, but were unsuccessful.
Police believe the suspect may live in the area, and ask those living near Palmer Park and Powers to remain especially vigilant. If anyone has any information on this suspect's whereabouts, call police at 444-7000 or Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

Essential Thrombocythemia
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Essential Thrombocythemia is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
- essential hemorrhagic thrombocythemia
- essential thrombocytosis
- idiopathic thrombocythemia
- idiopathic thrombocytosis
- primary thrombocythemia
General Discussion
Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a rare, chronic disorder characterized by the overproduction of platelets. Platelets (also known as thrombocytes) are specialized blood cells that clump together to form clots to stop bleeding at the site of injury to blood vessels Although the overproduction of platelets is the or characteristic of ET, red blood cells and white blood cells may be overproduced to some degree as well.
Individuals with ET are at risk for the formation of blood clots (thrombosis), which can restrict blood flow to vital organs, and episodes of uncontrolled bleeding (hemorrhaging). Additional symptoms associated with ET include headaches, dizziness, bleeding from the gums or gastrointestinal tract, an enlarged spleen (splenomegaly) and a condition known as erythromelalgia, which is characterized by a reddened or purplish appearance to the skin of the hands and feet sometimes associated with a painful, burning sensation. Approximately two-thirds of individuals with ET do not have symptoms (asymptomatic) when initially diagnosed. In fact, a diagnosis of ET is often made incidentally during a routine examination. Many individuals eventually present with symptoms related to small or large vessel thrombosis or minor bleeding. Presentation with a major bleeding episode is very unusual. The exact, underlying cause of ET is unknown. However, more than half of the people with this disorder have a mutation of the JAK2 gene. The exact role that this gene plays in the development of ET is not fully understood.
Essential thrombocythemia belongs to a group of diseases known as the myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs). This group of disorders is characterized by the overproduction (proliferation) of one or more of the three main blood cell lines - red or white blood cells or platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body. White blood cells fight infection. Platelets are involved in clotting of the blood in response to injury. Three other disorders are commonly classified as MPDs: chronic myelogenous leukemia, polycythemia vera and idiopathic myelofibrosis. Because the MPDs are characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, they may also be classified as blood cancers.

text: The long-term mission of our lab is to develop experimentally-integrated computational modeling frameworks to enable the molecular-level engineering of biological systems. Toward this end, we focus on high-resolution fluorescence and electron microscopy datasets to infer and program higher-order nucleic acid and protein structure and function. Major applications of our work include engineering 3D DNA assemblies to control multi-chromophore, -protein, and -lipid organizations for nanoscale energy transport, cellular delivery, and nanoscale imaging of membrane processes including neuronal synapses, bacterial cell wall synthesis machinery, and signaling complexes that govern cell migration. Computational analyses of imaging datasets drive the generation and systematic evaluation of quantitative biological models using molecular perturbations in our own lab and in collaborating labs.

Parabolic Phantom
Price $584.99
Manufacturer: John Wilson
Formerly known as Parabolic, MK's exclusive Edge Control Technology has revolutionized the Figure Skating World, allowing skaters of all levels to unlock their true potential. The unique state of the art design of an Edge Control blade allows skaters to center their weight in a way that is not possible with a conventional straight blade, dramatically improving stability for faster take-offs and more precise landings. An Edge Control blade tapers at the mid-section, centering your weight for a level of control and stability in edge-work simply not possible with a conventional parallel blade. The precision geometry of the blade remains unaltered so there is no lengthy adjustment period. You feel a new level of confidence the moment you step onto the ice. Taking care of your Edge Control blade is as easy as any conventional blade and requires no special sharpening techniques or maintenance regime. In fact, because Edge Control can be sharpened in fewer passes, your blades will hold their edge longer than any traditional blade. The only difference you'll feel when you upgrade to Edge Control is in your confidence and precision on the ice. Please allow 6 weeks for delivery.

Rzip - A new compression star is born
Remember when Bzip first came out and out-compressed Gzip\? Well, then came LZMA with another significant increase in compression ration a bit later. And then one of the authors of Samba, Andrew Tridgell, developed a new compression algorithm called Rzip. It compresses even more efficient, though it needs large amounts (may be 1 GB) of memory to do so. And now Con Kolivas, author of the great Desktop Latency patches including the BFS scheduler and the man who designed the current kernel scheduler (though another implementation of his design was used), took it to himself to further develop the rzip algorithm. And the results are quite promising: The linux kernel is compressed about 3 times as fast as with LZMA2 with just 2 percent difference in final size. I look forward to this going downstream into end-user desktop software.
Update: Con just commented with a link to more detailed and accurate lrzip statistics.

wow! quite a difference... compressing and uncompressing package in arch takes hell of a time.. i hope this makes it into the default package comression formatReplyDelete
Thanks for linking my post about lrzip. I find it interesting that a few graphs get attention when I have a page full of benchmarks for lrzip that show more accurately where and how lrzip is beneficial compared to xz or even the multithreaded 7z.ReplyDelete
Thanks for noticing! Yes, but don't we all love to see dry numbers to be wrapped in pretty graphics? :DReplyDelete

Make Your Blog or Website CarbonFree®Written by Cameron Lane
We all know that activities such as commuting to work or lighting our homes contributes a substantial amount to our carbon footprints every year. What about your website or blog? You may not have considered it, but all websites and blogs have carbon footprints, and they are larger than you might imagine. Think about everything that has to happen when you view a website. Your computer downloads information, which is housed by other computers on the Internet, all of which are using a wide array of networks and servers to transmit the information. The energy use adds up. The average personal blog, for example, creates nearly a ton of CO2 in a year! Why choose to make your website CarbonFree®? 1. Brand Recognition Distinguish your website or blog as reducing its impact on the environment with the CarbonFree® logo. 2. Your donation supports third-party validated carbon reduction projects With Carbonfund.org, your donation goes to fund the same third-party validated projects that our other carbon offset programs fund. We don't claim that you can offset an entire website by planting a single tree, nor would we expect you to believe that. 3. Custom Calculations Have a large business site or just a small family blog? No problem. We can calculate a custom website offset that fits any size of site with any amount of traffic. Get started by visiting www.carbonfund.org/carbonfreewebsite and choose the carbon offset that most closely matches your average monthly pageview count. After your donation is received, we will provide you the appropriate CarbonFree® logos to use on your site for a year.

Washington farmer Loren Lentz wanted to make a big impression when he popped the question to his girlfriend, Jody. So he plowed his proposal into a 200-acre field. But he made one mistake."I get doing the "J" and 10-year old daughter is riding with me in the tractor and she says dad, you did the J" backwards." He still went forward with his plan, surprising Jody on a plane ride. The second time they flew over, she spotted the typo. "It's not L-o-d-y, it's not Lody!" She decided to marry me anyway even though the J was backwards.

Christina Duran and her two friends were shocked, and certainly didn't find it funny. In a facebook post, the restaurant says it's "appalled" and "embarrassed" over the incident. It says the employee responsible was immediately fired. The owner even offered to meet with the women to apologize in person.

Phthalo Blues are completely lightfast and stable and are permanent for all paint uses. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Blues have no significant hazards, although those made before 1982 contained some PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Developed by chemists using the trade name Monastral Blue, the organic blue dyestuff now known as Phthalo Blue was presented as a pigment in November 1935 in London. Its discovery was accidental. The dark color was observed in a kettle where a dye was being made from a British dyestuff plant. The demand for such a pigment came from commercial printers who wanted a cyan to replace Prussian Blue.

The Master and the Molotov
this wiki
- "Dimitri turned on me, not the other way around. America made him greedy. Dimitri will turn on you as well...you shall discover this."
- ―Mikhail Faustin.
The Master and the Molotov is the first mission in Grand Theft Auto IV, given to protagonist Niko Bellic by Dimitri Rascalov from the Hove Beach district of Broker, Liberty City. This mission introduces the fire escape stairs to the player.
The Petrovic Family are threatening to kill Dimitri if his leader, Mikhail Faustin is not killed soon. Niko is sent by Dimitri to kill Faustin because Faustin's recklessness is getting out of control. Kenny Petrovic also wants revenge on Mikhail for ordering the killing of his son Lenny and destroying his garage in Bohan. Dimitri explains that he was able to negotiate with Petrovic so that only Faustin would be killed. Dimitri tells Petrovic that Niko was just a hired gun, and Petrovic is willing to spare Niko on the condition that Niko kills Faustin himself.
Niko goes to the Perestroika club, where, after a heated argument, Faustin sends multiple of his goons to try and stop Niko while he tries to escape. The player must battle several of Faustin's men and climb a fire escape outside and up to the roof where Faustin is hiding. Faustin tells Niko that Dimitri will betray Niko like Niko betrayed him, and that America made Dimitri greedy. Niko ignores this and shoots Faustin, who falls off the roof to his death. Niko calls Dimitri and tells him that Faustin is dead. Dimitri tells him that he did the right thing and that he will talk to Petrovic about Faustin's death.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get to Faustin's club.
- Let Faustin enter Perestroika.
- Confront Faustin and defeat his guards, then attack him.
- If Faustin escapes from the bar, chase and kill him.
- Several Faustin Family mobsters
- Mikhail Faustin
Video Walkthrough
- Mikhail Faustin - Killed by Niko on the orders of Dimitri Rascalov to appease Kenny Petrovic for the death of his son and for blowing up his garage.
Niko shoots Faustin in the leg. As Faustin nurses his leg, Niko will shoot him in the chest. This causes Faustin to fall of the building onto the street below. If Faustin has full health before execution, he will try to cling to life on the street, dying slowly; if not, he will die on impact.
Niko will call Dimitri to confirm Faustin's death. Dimitri hopes it will please Petrovic.
Niko can call him back later (or wait for him to call), asking about payment. He will tell him to meet him at a warehouse in East Hook (automatically starting Russian Revolution).
- Faustin's statement while Niko is pursuing him that Rascalov will turn on Bellic is actually true; in fact, Niko discovered that Faustin was telling the truth in the very next mission.
- The name of this mission is a reference to the novel The Master and the Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov.
- When Faustin falls to his death, he will scream, but not in his own voice; in place of Faustin's voice is a random scream used by NPC's.
- If Niko has no armor when he arrives at Perestroika, Dimitri will text him to say that he has left some protection around the side of the club, and an armor pickup can be found behind the dumpster.
- After this mission, Molotov Cocktails are available from the gun shops, Hence the name "The Master and the Molotov".
- Like with Vlad's death, this is the only time Mikhail Faustin appears outside of cutscenes.
- It is possible to kill Faustin before he reaches the rooftop where the assassination occurs. A grenade can blast him to death at any point on his route. Alternatively, keep shooting at him as he climbs the stairs onto the roof. He will stop occassionally to shoot at Niko with his Micro SMG.
- Even though this mission is given by Dimitri Rascalov, the stats don't show his progress, the mission instead gives progress to Faustin's mission even though he gets killed in this mission.

Upgrade Instructions
A Trac environment sometimes needs to be upgraded before it can be used with
a new version of Trac. This document describes the steps necessary to upgrade
an environment.
Note that you should also read the trac/wiki/default-pages/TracUpgrade
documentation file present in the source distribution.
Note that Environment upgrades are not necessary for minor version releases
unless otherwise noted. For example, there's no need to upgrade a Trac
environment created with (or upgraded) 0.8.0 when installing 0.8.4 (or any
other 0.8.x release).
General Instructions
Typically, there are four steps involved in upgrading to a newer version of
1. Update the Trac Code
Get the new version of Trac, either by downloading an offical release package
or by checking it out from the Subversion repository.
If you have a source distribution, you need to run
python setup.py install
to install the new version. If you've downloaded the Windows installer, you
execute it, and so on.
In any case, if you're doing a major version upgrade (such as from 0.8 to
0.9), it is highly recommended that you first remove the existing Trac code.
To do this, you need to delete the `trac` directory from the Python
`lib/site-packages` directory. You may also want to remove the Trac `cgi-bin`,
`htdocs` and `templates` directories that are commonly found in a directory
called `share/trac` (the exact location depends on your platform).
2. Upgrade the Trac Environment
Unless noted otherwise, upgrading between major versions (such as 0.8 and
0.9) involves changes to the database schema, and possibly the layout of the
environment. Fortunately, Trac provides automated upgrade scripts to ease the
pain. These scripts are run via `trac-admin`:
trac-admin /path/to/projenv upgrade
This command will do nothing if the environment is already up-to-date.
3. Update the Trac Documentation
Every Trac environment includes a copy of the Trac documentation for the
installed version. As you probably want to keep the included documentation in
sync with the installed version of Trac, `trac-admin` provides a command to
upgrade the documentation:
trac-admin /path/to/projenv wiki upgrade
Note that this procedure will of course leave your `WikiStart` page intact.
4. Restart the Web Server
In order to reload the new Trac code you will need to restart your web
server (note this is not necessary for CGI).
The following sections discuss any extra actions that may need to be taken
to upgrade to specific versions of Trac.
From 0.10.x to 0.11.x
There should not be any serious problems...
However, take a look at the following documented caveats::
Also, you should be careful to check that the plugins you depend on have
been ported to 0.11, as they most probably won't work without adaptation
due to the numerous internal changes that occurred during 0.11 development.
Note however that Clearsilver based plugin are still supported.
See: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDev/ApiChanges/0.11
From 0.9.x to 0.10.x
Due to some changes in the Wiki syntax, you may notice that certain parts of
your pages no longer work as expected:
* Previously, links to images would result in that image being embedded
into the page. Since 0.10, links to images remain plain links. If you
want to embed an image in the page, use the [[Image]] macro.
* You can no longer use %20 in wiki links to encode spaces. Instead, you
should quote the name containing spaces
(for example, use wiki:"My page" instead of wiki:My%20page.)
Several enhancements have been made to the version control subsystem, in
particular for the support of scoped repositories has been improved. It is
recommended that you perform a "trac-admin resync" operation to take
advantage of these improvements.
Also note that the argument list of the "trac-admin initenv" command has
changed: there's a new argument for determining the type of version
control system. The old usage was:
initenv <projectname> <db> <repospath> <templatepath>
The new usage is:
initenv <projectname> <db> <repostype> <repospath> <templatepath>
If you're using any scripts that automate the creation of Trac environments,
you will need to update them. If you're using Subversion, specify "svn" for
the <repostype> argument.
From 0.9.3 to 0.9.4
There is a bug in Pysqlite 1.x that causes reports using the "%" character
for LIKE clauses or date formatting to fail. You will need to use escape the
percent characters with another: "%%".
From 0.9.x to 0.9.3
If you are using plugins you might need to upgrade them. See
http://trac.edgewall.org/milestone/0.9.3 for further details.
From 0.9-beta to 0.9
If inclusion of the static resources (style sheets, javascript, images) is not
working, check the value of the `htdocs_location` in trac.ini. For mod_python,
Tracd and FastCGI, you can simply remove the option altogether. For CGI, you
should fix it to point to the URL you mapped the Trac `htdocs` directory to.
If you've been using plugins with a beta release of Trac 0.9, or have
disabled some of the built-in components, you might have to update the rules
for disabling/enabling components in trac.ini. In particular, globally
installed plugins now need to be enabled explicitly. See the TracPlugins and
TracIni wiki pages for more information.
If you want to enable the display of all ticket changes in the timeline (the
Ticket Details option), you now have to explicitly enable that in trac.ini,
ticket_show_details = true
From 0.8.x to 0.9
mod_python users will need to change the name of the mod_python handler in
the Apache HTTPD configuration:
from: PythonHandler trac.ModPythonHandler
to: PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
If you have PySQLite 2.x installed, Trac will now try to open your SQLite
database using the SQLite 3.x file format. The database formats used by
SQLite 2.8.x and SQLite 3.x are incompatible. If you get an error like "file
is encrypted or is not a database" after upgrading, then you must convert
your database file.
To do this, you need to have both SQLite 2.8.x and SQLite 3.x installed (they
have different filenames so can coexist on the same system). Then use the
following commands:
mv trac.db trac2.db
sqlite trac2.db .dump | sqlite3 trac.db
After testing that the conversion was successful, the `trac2.db` file can be
deleted. For more information on the SQLite upgrade see
From 0.7.x to 0.8
0.8 adds a new roadmap feature which requires additional permissions. While a
fresh installation will by default grant `ROADMAP_VIEW` and `MILESTONE_VIEW`
permissions to anonymous, these permissions have to be granted manually when
trac-admin /path/to/projectenv permission add anonymous MILESTONE_VIEW
trac-admin /path/to/projectenv permission add anonymous ROADMAP_VIEW
From 0.6.x to 0.7
Trac 0.7 introduced a new database format, requiring manual upgrade.
Previous versions of Trac stored wiki pages, ticket, reports, settings,
etc. in a single SQLite database file. Trac 0.7 replaces this file
with a new backend storage format; the 'Trac Environment', which is a
directory containing an SQLite database, a human-readable configuration file,
log-files and attachments.
Fear not though, old-style Trac databases can easily be converted to
Environments using the included `tracdb2env` program as follows:
tracdb2env /path/to/old/project.db /path/to/new/projectenv
`tracdb2env` will create a new environment and copy the information from the
old database to the new environment. The existing database will not be
You also need to update your apache configuration:
Change the line:
SetEnv TRAC_DB "/path/to/old/project.db"
SetEnv TRAC_ENV "/path/to/new/projectenv"
If you have trouble upgrading Trac, please ask questions on the mailing list:

I'm back in town. Sorry if I missed your messages. Should anyone like to play/hit sometime, just text me 514-966-2896. Montreal/Westmount areas 4.0-4.5. Thanks!! doug
Hi Doug - I'm a member in Westmount and I've been playing at Murray park at 7:00am for the past month. Any interest? If not, I can also do evenings as of this week, as some other commitments of mine have finished. I may be closer to 3.5-4.0, but would love the chance to play on the clay or hard court up there.
Let me know - Cheers,

Hi Doug,
I'm a 3.5-4.0 looking for someone to play with. I will be starting a new job in Westmount as of next week that typically ends at 3pm so I can definitely make time to hit a few balls if you were willing to hit with someone a little bit less skilled that you. I have greatly improved this year and am becoming pretty serious in my progress so I wish to play with people better than me. Let me know if you're interested. Also, the courts in Westmount, are they free or do we need to pay for them?
