price drop Specialized Demo 8 II size L$1400 USD
Clean and burly 2008 Specialized Demo 8 II size L. High end components and wheels true as the driven berm. Mechanic owned and operated. Titanium marzocchi 888 is a killer fork and was just factory serviced. Rear shock (DHX 4) was also recently serviced by Fox and is good to go. Overall bike is in excellent mechanical condition, has a great set of components and is one of the more reliable plug and play bikes ever built. The Kenda Nevegal tires have 90% tread remaining at least and are set up tubeless, so....no flats! Recently replaced all pivot bearings as well so this bike is super smooth. other notable components: code brakes running 203 rotors front and rear XT crank 745 mm SunLine Aluminum bars X9 rear derailleur 36 tooth E16 anodized blue chainring XO 9 spd Grip shift. Reason for selling is this beast has been sitting idle for too long in my garage. Great opportunity to get into a downhill rig. Cheers Peter

Online ISSN: 1520-636X
Aims and Scope
The main aim of the journal is to publish scientific work on the role of molecular asymmetry in both biologically active and non-biologically active molecules in respect to their pharmacological, biological, and chemical properties. Drugs, pesticides, and other xenobiotics will be a major interest.
Papers on the chemistry (physiochemical, preparative synthetic, and analytical), pharmacology, clinical pharmacology, toxicology, and other biological aspects of chiral molecules will be published.
Among the topics to be covered are stereospecific synthesis, stereoselective analysis, preparative separation of chiral molecules, the influence of chirality on pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, protein binding, biotransformation, etc.), the influence of chirality on pharmacodynamics (drug-receptor interactions, pharmacological and toxicological activity), and the influence of chirality on clinical pharmacology (therapeutic index and response, bioavailability, adverse drug reactions, drug-drug interactions). Papers will also be published on regulatory and legal aspects in the development, testing, and marketing of chiral compounds.
In addition to original research papers, the journal will publish brief reviews, short communications, and conference reports. Book reviews will also appear.
Effective with the 2014 volume, this journal will be published in an online-only format. Print subscription and single issue sales are available from Wiley's Print-on-Demand Partner.

Sarah Lawrence College was named as the liberal arts College of the Year in the 2000 edition of The Best College for You, a co-publication of TIME magazine and The Princeton Review.
According to TIME/ The Princeton Review, Sarah Lawrence was honored as the Liberal Arts College of the Year for developing an intense writing program within any chosen field of study. One of the smallest, artsiest, and most liberal, Sarah Lawrence is also widely considered one of the inkiest, according to the editors. The quantity and quality of writing required at Sarah Lawrence are grueling.
"Writing is the coin of the realm here," says college dean Barbara Kaplan. "It permeates the whole atmosphere rather than being compartmentalized into a single course or slapped on as a series of skills." At Sarah Lawrence, it's important because, "We believe writing is the tool of thinking," says Sarah Lawrence president Michele Tolela Myers. "The best way to learn to think is to read a lot of good writing and write a lot about what you've read."
This year, the editors focused on "Writing Across the Curriculum" (WAC) programs, which teach students to use writing as an exercise in clear thinking, regardless of their field of study. TIME/Princeton Review named four different types of institutions as Colleges of the Year.
"We are very pleased that Sarah Lawrence College has been selected as TIME and The Princeton Review's College of the Year among liberal arts colleges. This is such a wonderful tribute to our faculty, students and our pedagogy", says Myers. "What makes us most pleased is not just our being honored, but also that this award focuses on writing and the communication of ideas, which are central to all disciplines whether one is in college or the workplace. One of the most important skills in the digital age is, in fact, one of the oldest --writing," she added.
The three other schools named include Cornell University in Ithaca, NY as the private research university, Longview Community College in Lee's Summit, MO as the two-year college and Clemson University in Clemson, SC as the public university.

I just returned to school, meaning I'm living in a house I rent that is right outside of the campus. The landlord (a real one, who accepts checks, provided me with a real room, ) supplied a decent wireless router:
Netgear WNDR3300. It has a dual network capability; N and G networks are available at 2.4 and 5ghz respectively. I have a Netgar N600 wireless adapter for my desktop, which I am using now. I'm connected to the N network.
I'm noticing the internet is painfully slow, and sometimes fails to load pages at all! I went to speedtest.net and found a down speed of 3.89mbps and up of .25mbps.
I also ran a ping test on the same site and here's what came up:
Is this why my internet is so slow? How can it be resolved?

For more than 40 years Ingo Maurer has created somewhat irreverent and thought-provoking designs in a method that is more exo-modern than contemporary. These experimentalist collections enliven fashion runways, monuments and private homes, giving Ingo Maurer lighting a name that resounds in the minds of the design-forward.
The Sista Ceiling Light is available with the following:
- Glass socket directly integrated into transparent canopy
- Round ceiling canopy with US adapter plate
- Not UL/ETL Listed
- Made in Germany
- Designed by Bernhard Dessecker, 1998
- One 75 Watt 125 Volt PAR30 Type E27 Halogen lamp (included).
Compare Brightness:
LumensThe amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.
WattageA measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)
Bulb ShapeBulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.
BaseThe part of the bulb that connects to the fixture and its power supply. Bulb bases are denoted with the letter E, and a number which indicates the diameter of the bulb base at its widest part in millimeters.
VoltageIndicates how much voltage a bulb can accept via the fixture it's installed in.
Light Color TemperatureThe relative color from a light source, measured on the Kelvin temperature scale. Warm light is lower in color temperature (2700-3000 K) and cool, blue light is higher (5000 K).
Average Rated LifeThe average amount time that a bulb is expected to last.
CRICRI = color rendering index. This number, which can go from 0 to 100, measures the ability of a light or bulb accurately renders colors. The higher the number, the better, with most quality bulbs these days measuring at least in the 80s.

The furniture of the room was older and different from the furniture at the pictures. Besides that breakfast was very simple. Cost for parking was uncleared.
Also was the room clean and the family very helpful.
The room was clean and our hosts very helpful although we arrived late in the evening. Although the room was about 15 min from the town senter, it was easy to find due to very good instructions given to us by our host. 3 different buses alternatives and a supermarket just outside the house made the room very accessible and practical. We enjoyed breakfast time together with other guests in the common kitchen area.
einfache Unterkunft, mussten bei der Buchung ausweichen auf Zimmer ohne Bad. Man hört alles vom Flur und Bad. leider nur 1 Handtuch pro Person und Woche. ok für Übernachtung. Frühstück Toast und Marmelade, Obst, Kaffee, Tee, Cornflakes. Aber gegenüber ist ein Aldi und man kann Einkäufe im Kühlschrank lagern. Diekt auf der anderen Straßenseite Bushaltestelle mit direkter Verbindung ins zentrum (ca. 20 Minuten)
Gastgeber sehr freundlich
Nice room, especially the one with en-suite bath is good to stay in Edinburgh. The hospitality of Jannet and her family is awesome and their kindness is making you feel blessed :-)
Titolare molto cordiale e disponibile...
Il posto carino ed ordinato ma il rapporto qualità / prezzo non è buono...
A warm welcome and a great and clear explanation of all I needed to know about the house and the city it's all I get when I came first in this clean and pretty house.
I have been 10 days in this house and I felt like home away from home.
I surely want to suggest everyone to make this choice!
Great accommodation, amazing people, perfect connections to the city center.
This is simply perfect!
Our time in the Christian Homestay war really great. Everything there was very clean and the family of Jannet very friendly and helpful. They do a great missionary and social job with poor women and kids in this area and do it with all their heart. Our room was fine and we had a wonderful breakfast bufet in the morning with cereals, fruits, toast, jam, tea, coffee, eggs,... There is a bus stop in front of the house. We needed only 15 minutes into the centre of Edinburgh and had to pay only 3,50 for the whole day. Jannets daughter gave us good advice where to go and what to see. Thank you very much for everything! We hope to see you again.

The untold story of five young American friends who left the ivory towers at Harvard and Dartmouth to take on Rommel's Panzers under the blazing sun of North Africa…
In the spring of 1941, with Europe consumed by war and occupation, Britain stood alone against the Nazi menace. The United States remained wary of joining the costly and destructive conflict. But for five extraordinary young Americans, the global threat of fascism was too great to ignore.

Khejan SAYS 2013-03-26 21:37This question is like asking how good he is IRL. As for price, it can vary from anywhere between 30Mill to 60+ depending on season and form. Of course you could always unsettle him at his current club by speaking to the press about him.

The Banana Splits
The Banana Splits were a rock band, but do you you remember the names of the four costumed characters? They were Fleegle, who was dog-like and played guitar and vocals, Drooper (bass, vocals) who I think was supposed to be a lion(?), Bingo (drums, vocals) who looked like a smiley monkey and Snorky, who looked like an elephant that had been on a day trip to Sellafield and played keyboards and effects.
The series was produced by Hanna-Barbera and ran for just two seasons. It originally aired between September 1968 and Sept 1970.
The series ended pretty abruptly when, after more than 1000 episodes, Thames Television lost its ITV franchise.
We all remember the main characters don't we? Zippy (a loud-mouthed, irritating character that was actually made from a rugby ball!), George (a gentle, more reserved pink hippo), Bungle (a clumsy bear who complains a lot) and, of course, the human presenter trying to keep them all under control, Geoffrey.
Rod, Jane and Freddy also made regular appearances with their singing and dancing routines.
Blimey! I Remember watching Here Come The The Double Deckers on a saturday morning back in the 70s. This video clip made me feel like a kid again!
these were the days when there were no violent or sexual music videos
featuring half-naked bimbos or crotch-grabbing morons, no comparing brand names on
clothes, no home computers or tablets and no mobile phones. We would watch innocent
programmes like this and then maybe go out for a bike ride and just do
what kid's should do - meet up and talk to each other face-to-face and
have real fun, without worrying about health and safety
issues such as wearing goggles to play conkers - who came up with that
enough of my rants, back to the show! The characters were Spring (He was black, but I'm not
sure why he was called Spring), Billie (The cowgirl), Brains (he wore
specs), Doughnut (he was fat), Sticks (he played the drums), Tiger (she
had a cuddly tiger who was also called, erm, tiger!) and Scooper - no
idea why he was called Scooper?
The video clip in the playlist at the top of the page features the legendary Brian Cant, Tony Arthur, Jeremy Irons, Anne-Marie Hackett and Julie Stevens. Tony Robinson was also in this episode, although, unfortunately, he's not on this clip!
Vision On
That's the first time I've heard that music since the 70s! Vision On
was a childrens art programme for the deaf, although many kids who were
not deaf would also watch it, including myself. The programme became
quite popular and soon gained a wacky and surreal
Regular presenters on the show were Tony Hart (who went on to present his own art shows inc. Take Hart and Hartbeat), Wilf Lunn (he used to show-off his latest inventions) and Sylvester McCoy who became the seventh doctor on Doctor Who in 1987.

Could someone direct me to the best plugin to manage categories (if there is one) Or is there some other way to get them so there not alphabetical. Thanks
How about the codex?
Oh god! That looks like a challenge. I'll go over it and see if I can understand it. Thanks
Are there any other options besides codex?? It will take me all summer to figure out that codex. LOL!
For what you want you don't need the whole codex, just the page you were pointed to.
In the Parameters section it says clearly:
order_by - ID or name (this one is the alphabetical).
Say I want to use this code below.
wp_list_categories('include=5,9,23&title_li=<h2>' . __('Table of Contents') . '</h2>' ); ?>
The 5,9,23 represent category id's right? So If I want all them displayed I have to add every category id to that list, in the order I want the categories to appear. Am I understanding that right??
Are we reading two different texts? By default, the template tag should display ALL your categories. If you want to show ONLY certain categories - you will use either include or exclude. And then add the orderbby parameter - see the examples given there.
if i understand him right, he's asking for a way to order them to his preference (as in neither by ID nor alphabetized).
Say he adds Oranges, Apples, Pineapple and Peaches. He wants them ordered as Peaches, Oranges, Apples, and Pineapple for some reason. order by ID would be the order in which he added them, and alphabetical would be Apples, Oranges, Peaches, Pineapple; neither of those are what he wants.
I haven't read the entire codex, but I have read that page and nothing in there (unless I missed something) suggests this is built into the WP core. Your best luck is programming one yourself, or trying to find a plugin that does this.
Oh, a quick google search turned up this. Google, you should try it sometime ;)
@kvandaele.. Thank-you very much! It works great.

High school hockey coaches are looking forward to fewer injuries, faster skating, and more passing on the new Olympic ice surface that's included in the $5.5-million arena project here.
In fact, Bronco head coach Dan Shankowsky hopes Kenora considers going with an Olympic-size rink if it ever builds another one up there.
"I don't like this in-your-face type hockey we've been forced to play on the smaller rinks," Shankowsky said yesterday, adding the team stayed away from the small rink in Keewatin for that reason.
"I think it would open up the game," echoed Muskie head coach Glen Edwards, stressing the emphasis would be on speed. He added the bigger, slower players would be at a disadvantage.
Edwards also felt it would be a real drawing card for the new double-rink arena here, noting Warroad was the only other community in the area to have an Olympic-sized ice surface.
But he admitted there was a down side to the larger rink--it will mean a less physical game, with less hitting and contact.
"I think that's a part of the game that a lot of the fans enjoy," he noted.
"[But] I definitely think it's going to be the wave of the future," he added, noting the Muskies would be playing their games on the Olympic-sized rink. "You have to play your games where the stands are."
And while Shankowsky felt the Muskies would have the advantage from practising on the larger rink, he was confident the other teams would catch on quickly when it came time to play.
"It doesn't take long for everyone to adapt," he explained, saying it would be up to the coaches to fill their players in on how play changes with the rink size.
But not everyone here is happy about the decision, made Dec. 2, to have one North American-sized rink (200'x85'), with a seating capacity of 150, and an Olympic-sized one (200'x100'), with seating for 1,000, in the new 87,000 sq. ft. "L-shaped" facility.
(Memorial Arena rink is 190'x80' and seats 1,500).
Both the Fort Frances Minor Hockey Association and the local women's hockey league argued there wasn't a need for the larger rink--or the extra $150,000 price tag that comes with it.
At a public meeting last Wednesday night, minor hockey president Lynn Kellar said the town was building a second ice surface so user groups could have more ice time.
"It has nothing to do with ice size. It's ice time," he stressed. "Let's take our time and make sure that we take a good look at everything."
But if the steering committee felt there was a need for the larger rink, then Kellar asked that it not be made the spectator rink.
"I think it would've been better if they had flip-flopped," agreed Gord McQuarrie, adding he was not opposed to the larger rink.
Meanwhile, the Muskies also are bucking for their own dressing room with outside access in the new facility. Edwards asked the room also include showers, bathroom, power and heat, with the local Blue Line Club to pay for the furnishings.
"All Minnesota high school hockey teams have their own dressing rooms," he argued, though admitting not all in Northwestern Ontario did.
"But their programs don't have the prestige and status ours do."
Edwards also pointed to the revenue the Muskies contribute to the rink, noting that being able to house equipment in their own dressing room allows the team to be on the rink at 3:15 p.m.
"We couldn't do that without having our equipment there," he said.

ED Blog is going to restart regular posts (probably weekly) and this first post is on the recipients of the Queen's Birthday Honours. Normally we'll write about policy or management issues in tertiary education, but we've been covering the honours for 5 years now, and they came out this week, so they're up first.
The recipients with a tertiary education connection are listed below, with a link to their citation and significant media coverage. Some of the links are weaker than others, as some people have been on tertiary education councils or boards as a small part of wider careers, while medical professionals are often clinical educators at universities on the side. We haven't included alumni who get honours, as the link to their later honour is usually rather tenuous (sorry comms teams!).

This guest post is from Feroz Ali, Chair of Independent Tertiary Institutions (ITI). ED Blog welcomes guest contributions.
Under headlines such as "Polytechnic cash given to private businesses" and "$29 million cut from polytechnics", the Tertiary Education Union (TEU) asserts that money is being systematically stripped out of Polytechnics and literally just given to businesses. The clear implications behind the argument are that ITPs are being damaged, some students are missing out on education, and that private providers are not providing a quality education with the additional money they receive.
This argument has been prompted by the new contestable funding process for Level One and Level Two qualifications. This has just completed its second round and while the full results have not been officially released, it is possible to draw several conclusions about the realities of contestable funding.
In this opinion piece, the third in a series, I would like to make four points. One, the Government introduced contestability for a reason. Two, students are not missing out as the amount of foundation provision is the same. Three, PTEs are not being gifted funding, they are earning it. Four, quality was the key consideration in the contestable process, not value for money.
The decision to create a contestable funding process for part (and it should be noted it is just a part) of the Level One and Two funding pool was made by the Government and it absolutely has the right to do so. Government has responsibilities to students and taxpayers, as well as providers. The key is to realise that the Government did not introduce contestability because it was happy with existing results in the ITP sector. Clearly, it was not. They wanted to improve results by allowing new providers into the system, and introducing different ways of delivering foundation education. The focus was on results for learners.
The TEU argued that money was "stripped" out of polytechnics and "gifted to private for-profit companies." TEU national secretary Sharn Riggs bluntly said "Mr Joyce took $12 million out of our public education system and gave it to companies that want to make a profit off students." (http://teu.ac.nz/2012/09/polytechnic-cash-given-to-private-businesses/) I've addressed the fallacy that all private providers are profit-driven or even commercial in an earlier opinion piece.
Here, it is important to note that the amount of money invested in foundation education remained roughly the same. So while some individual ITPs lost funding, that had to occur in order for a small number of PTEs to gain funding. Contestable funding is essentially about how the funding pool is divided. Therefore, foundation students are not missing out – learners may just be attending a different provider than they would have under the previous structure.
The TEU ignores this when they argue "opening up more of the level 1-2 funding could potentially remove our public institutions from the delivery of foundation education. If this happens, there will be a gap in the otherwise seamless provision of public education. We guarantee public education for early childhood, primary, secondary, and tertiary level from level 3 to level 8, but in the future could leave out those students who need it most – those seeking foundation learning." (http://teu.ac.nz/2012/07/privatising-level-1-2-students-education-an-unnecessary-gamble/)
ITI rejects as ridiculous the repeated assertions that funding was "gifted" or "given" to PTEs – they had to work very hard to have an application approved and will have to deliver strong results. PTEs were made to go through exactly the same application process as ITPs, but they are generally far smaller organisations which made the work, if anything, more onerous.
Additionally, PTEs are absolutely held to account for their results and the funding can easily be removed from them at the end of the contract. The TEU has also started to refer to public funding going to private providers as "corporate welfare" but I will deal with this topic in a future piece.
It was disappointing to see the TEU seriously running the line that the "Tertiary Education Commission – the body that handled the tender process – admitted in its documentation at the time that it granted funding on the basis of 'value for money' rather than quality of education." (http://teu.ac.nz/2014/08/domestic-students-migrate/) I suspect that that the TEC would not accept that it made any such admissions.
In fact, TEC stressed the importance of quality throughout the process. There was a high quality hurdle which had to be met to even have an application considered. Quality was fundamental throughout TEC's decision-making process. Yes, some consideration was given to value for money (as was clearly noted in the documentation) but that is to be expected whenever taxpayer money is being used.
The implication that funding went to the lowest bidder is insulting to all the successful providers, which in this case includes a large number of ITPs who gained or retained funding in either round. Surely the TEU is not implying these ITPs were only successful because they offered cheaper, lower quality courses?
Future posts will examine two phrases that are beginning to haunt the private tertiary sector – "niche provision" and "corporate welfare".
As a disclaimer, several members of Independent Tertiary Institutions (ITI) applied for Level One and Level Two funding in each round. However, this type of funding does not represent a substantive field for any ITI member. We are commenting on this issue because of the broader questions raised about how public and private providers should be treated.

Earlier today, I ran a post on a court case involving John Scott, former CPIT CE, that resulted in a conviction in Bahrain (see story). John contacted me in the last hour and gave me his views on the issue (I emailed him just before publishing the original post). He has since forwarded me an email, and I have quoted the body of that in full below, as it provides the other side of the story.
I first heard of this through an email from a friend 2 days ago. There has been no contact with me from anyone in Bahrain. There have been no charges and no indication of any court case, so it is all somewhat bizarre. I left Bahrain in early 2012. Needless to say but it is all a complete fabrication without one shred of truth in it.
Before I resigned the Polytechnic had been subjected to a wide range of audits and nothing like this had appeared in any of the reports. Before I received my settlement payment from the Poly all outstanding financial issues had been resolved to the satisfaction of the Chairman and the Ministry.
However in the context of the aftermath of the uprisings in Bahrain the ongoing attacks by the Minister of Education are not surprising. This is about discrediting the Polytechnic and the educational initiatives put in place by the Crown Prince of Bahrain. The initiatives targeted education because the Minister was doing such a bad job. Bahrain Polytechnic was set up outside his direct control and he had no impact on the Polytechnic until after the uprisings.
When the Crown Prince failed in his attempt to reconcile the factions by negotiations and dialogue, the Prime Minister and the "Hawks" as they are known among the more liberal Bahraini, took charge and the reprisals started. This included the disbanding of the Economic Development Board as had been set up by the Crown Prince, the abandoning of most of the reforms and the introduction of very tough iron fist approach reprisals. The Polytechnic Board was replaced with strict Sunni control, and there is an ongoing discrediting of the earlier reforms as in the eyes of many of the old guard, the Crown Prince and his reforms were in large part responsible for the uprisings.
The Minister of Education Majid Al Nuami is a vicious and vindictive ex -brigadier who knows nothing of value about education and who was responsible for the targeting and expelling of students, almost all Shia, who he claimed were 'dangerous" and a threat to the regime. He tried to force me to sack Shia staff, especially those in senior positions and I refused. When an independent report criticised his actions, all students were reinstated and the rhetoric was that the state should apologise. No one did except me. I invited all the students back, met with them all and apologised for their unjust treatment. From that point, the minister and his minions went after me.
However, I'm just a pawn in their bigger game which is to discredit the Pro-reform faction and the Crown Prince, They can't come out and criticise the CP in person, or even his judgement in initiating the reforms. They won't attack the Board of trustees so they go after the Ex-pats and the organisation, the Polytechnic.
The actual details of the charges are also ridiculous. I had travel allowances and an expense account within my contract signed off and approved monthly by the board. Maybe they are claiming it is these that constitute the 'charges'.
I wouldn't know as they have not asked me, nor have I seen any details related to this case."

A report from Bahrain stated that John Scott, ex-CE of Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology, had been sentenced to jail for 5 years for alleged embezzlement. The Gulf Daily News had the following report on Tuesday. UPDATE 7pm: John Scott has provided a detailed response – read it.
"FORMER Bahrain Polytechnic chief executive John Scott was sentenced to five years in jail yesterday for embezzlement.
However, the 69-year-old from New Zealand was not in the High Criminal Court to hear the verdict and is believed to be abroad.
Judges found him guilty of using polytechnic bank cards to pay for his personal expenses during his tenure from 2008 to 2011. The violation was uncovered by the Financial Audit Bureau, which formed a committee to monitor his spending based on an order from Education Minister Dr Majid Al Nuaimi. An auditing expert was also appointed by the Public Prosecution to review the accounts.
Prosecutors said he spent BD4,365 of the polytechnic's money on alcohol and food and withdrew another BD400 in cash for himself. He was also accused of spending BD7,772 on plane tickets for himself and his wife, while he also owes the university BD130 that he stole after refunding a plane ticket."
Since the Bahrain Dinar is worth NZ$3.24, the 12,667 dinars cited in the story would be worth NZ$41,041.
I covered the upheavals at Bahrain Polytechnic in March 2012, at which point a financial inquiry had been called for. I understand John Scott is back in NZ. As you might expect, comments on this story will be moderated closely.

I love playing with new ideas and new business so it was a pleasure to be invited in as a mentor for Wellington's Startup Weekend on Education last weekend. It's 54 hours of craziness for the startup teams, but I got away lightly with about 24 hours at the venue.
People have 1 minute to pitch an idea on Friday night – the ideas that attract a team get worked on for the next 54 hours. The end result is a pitch to judges on Sunday night, which is judged on:
You might wonder what can be developed over a weekend, but it's an impressive process.
By Sunday night, 12 exciting ideas had developed into some exciting businesses. The links below are often to 1-page sites, and don't reflect the quality and depth of the final pitches.
Banqer was the winner on the night, having tested their idea with teachers, and gained serious interest from banks – their tagline was "become a classroom tycoon". If you want to see how people reacted to the various pitches, you can check out #swedunz on Twitter from 5-8pm on Sunday 31 Aug.
While there was a winner on the night, what impressed me most was the intensity of the learning experience for the teams, and the positive attitude that they showed. Not everything goes well when you throw together a team of strangers, and add time pressure, but people worked through the pain.
For me, it was magic to see the teams develop, and they inspired me to get on with some ideas I have simmering away.
If Startup Weekend interests you, get involved! It is a global phenomenon, with 12 other events running last weekend alone, from Sarajevo to Bangalore.

Hi Walter,
any news on this issue?
Suppose having a package that doesn't use all the columns defined in its Data Flow source component. It seems impossible to get warnings such as: "The output column "A" (aa) on output "XXX" (xx) and component "YYY" (yy) is not subsequently used in the Data Flow task. Removing this unused output column can increase Data Flow task performance." using the command: DTExec /File "<full_path_package_name>" /Validate /Reporting EW I suppose DTExec validation doesn't throw out SSIS.Pipeline validation phase warnings.
Please wait...

Session Report: Is It a Car? Is It a Computer? No, It's a Raspberry Pi JavaFX Informatics System
By Janice J. Heiss on Sep 25, 2013
by Timothy Beneke
On Tuesday, Oracle Technology Evangelist Simon Ritter presented a
session that demonstrated how a simple Raspberry Pi computer could be
connected to an Audi to access far more information about the inner
workings of the Audi than is currently available. Ritter, a great
showman who has entertained thousands of JavaOne attendees over the
years with his Java tricks, communicated his contagious passion for
gadgets – and for sharing them with others.
"I love computers and all things electronic, and I also love cars – I'm a petrolhead -- so I've combined these 2 passions into one thing," said Ritter.
His talk was divided into several sections. He began by talking about the reliance of cars upon computers and moved to a discussion of the Raspberry Pi and why it's a good choice for the kinds of systems he built into his car. He went on to briefly provide some background about embedded Java and JavaFX, and why they are good choices for the Raspberry Pi. He then spent much of the session describing the software system he built in his car, its functionality, how it works, and so on. He speculated on possible future enhancements to his "carputer," and, finally, showed a video that provided a sense of what it is like to ride in the car with the new data accessible.
He initially made the point that computers and cars are now inexorably tied together. His first car, a 1971 Mini Clubman 1000 had, aside from a radio, no electronics. In contrast, his most recent car, a 2011 Audi S3, has lots of electronic devices, like all modern cars: an engine control unit, fuel injection/electronic timing, "Fly-by-wire" throttle, an anti-lock braking system, Satellite navigation, auto-sensing wipers and lights, and much more, some of which are mandated by law. The key point is that cars are already heavily computerized.
He described how the bus architecture works in the Audi, a communication system that transfers data between components inside a computer, and presented basic information about embedded Java, Java ME and JavaFX.
The Advantages of the Raspberry Pi for Car Computing
Ritter described the history of the remarkable Raspberry Pi, a project begun in 2006 that was initially created to inspire children to learn about computers. It was officially launched on Feb 29th, 2012 and currently, nearly 2 million have been shipped at a cost of around $25. It is ideal for children because of its cost and ease of use.
Its core features are:
* CPU: ARM 11 (v6) core running at 700MHz
– Broadcom SoC package
– Can now be overclocked to 1GHz (without breaking the warranty!)
* Memory: 512Mb
– HDMI and composite video
– Audio out (3.5mm plug)
– 2 x USB ports
– Ethernet
– Header pins for GPIO, UART, SPI and I2C
Ritter pointed out that adult computer geeks have been playing with the Raspberry Pi in countless ways. He then summarized why it is ideal for car computing:
* It has plenty of computing power with low electrical power consumption (< 1 Amp at 5V).
* Persistent storage is provided by the SD card.
– Disk drives are not ideal in hot places with lots of vibration.
– It's a supported device for embedded Java.
– It is configured for floating point acceleration.
– It works with Java SE Embedded and Java ME Embedded.
-- A JavaFX Prism graphics engine is ported.
His goal was to gain new information from his car in real-time and have it available for analysis to ultimately improve his driving style:
* Display realtime data
– Engine performance (Power, Torque, Load)
– Driver data (Throttle position, steering angle, braking force, etc)
– G-Forces on car
* Record data for later analysis
– Produce graphs to display changes over time
– Play at Formula 1
– Improve driving style
He went on to describe the creation of the accelerometer, touch screen, measures of torque, among other things, and closed with a 3-minute video showing the box in action in the car from the perspective of someone riding in the car with various measures visible. Then he played back the information recorded on the drive.
All in all, a super entertaining, informative session.
Ritter will be posting more info about his session here: blogs.oracle.com/speakjava

Java Experts on the State of Java
By Janice J. Heiss on Jan 08, 2013
In a new article by yours truly, now up on otn/java, titled "Java Experts on the State of Java," four Java experts, Adam Bien, Charles Nutter, Kirk Pepperdine and Simon Ritter, share their unique perspectives on what's happening in the world of Java.
Consultant Adam Bien, winner of many awards and an expert in Java EE, remarks that, "Only a few years ago, Java EE was used mostly by larger companies—now it becomes interesting even for one-person shows." He is also excited about Project Nashorn, which is coming in Java SE 8.
Charles Nutter, co-creator of JRuby and a Java Champion, observes that "JRuby seems to have hit a tipping point this past year, moving from 'just another Ruby implementation' to 'the best Ruby implementation for X,' where X may be performance, scaling, big data, stability, reliability, security, or one of several other features important for today's applications."
Java Champion Kirk Pepperdine, an expert in Java performance tuning, comments that, "The volume of data we're dealing with just seems to be getting bigger and bigger all the time. A couple of years ago, you'd never think of needing a heap that was 64 GB, but today there are deployments in which the heap has grown to 256 GB, and there are plans for heaps that are even larger. Dealing with all that data simply requires more horsepower and some very specialized techniques. In some cases, teams are simply trying to push hardware to the breaking point. Under those conditions, you need to be very clever just to get things to work—let alone to get them to be fast. We are very quickly moving from a world where everything happens in a transaction to one in which you've lost if you even consider using a transaction."
Finally, Oracle's Java Rock Star Simon Ritter celebrates the Raspberry Pi: "I don't think there is one definitive thing that makes the Raspberry Pi significant, but a combination of things really makes it stand out. First, it's the cost: $35 for what is effectively a completely usable computer. OK, so you have to add a power supply; an SD card for storage; and maybe a screen, keyboard, and mouse, but this is still way cheaper than a typical PC. The choice of an ARM processor is also significant, because it avoids problems such as cooling (no heat sink or fan) and can use a USB power brick."

Why Ultra-Low Power Computing Will Change Everything
By Tori Wieldt-Oracle on Oct 31, 2012
The ARM TechCon keynote "Why Ultra-Low Power Computing Will Change Everything" was anything but low-powered. The speaker, Dr. Johnathan Koomey, knows his subject: he is a Consulting Professor at Stanford University, worked for more than two decades at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and has been a visiting professor at Stanford University, Yale University, and UC Berkeley's Energy and Resources Group. His current focus is creating a standard (computations per kilowatt hour) and measuring computer energy consumption over time. The trends are impressive: energy consumption has halved every 1.5 years for the last 60 years. Battery life has made roughly a 10x improvement each decade since 1960. It's these improvements that have made laptops and cell phones possible. What does the future hold?
Dr. Koomey said that in the past, the race by chip manufacturers was to create the fastest computer, but the priorities have now changed. New computers are tiny, smart, connected and cheap. "You can't underestimate the importance of a shift in industry focus from raw performance to power efficiency for mobile devices," he said. There is also a confluence of trends in computing, communications, sensors, and controls. The challenge is how to reduce the power requirements for these tiny devices. Alternate sources of power that are being explored are light, heat, motion, and even blood sugar. The University of Michigan has produced a miniature sensor that
harnesses solar energy and could last for years without needing to be
replaced. Also, the University of Washington has created a sensor that scavenges power from existing radio and TV signals.
Specific devices designed for a purpose are much more efficient than general purpose computers. With all these sensors, instead of big data, developers should focus on nano-data, personalized information that will adjust the lights in a room, a machine, a variable sign, etc.
Dr. Koomey showed some examples:
The Proteus Digital Health Feedback System, an ingestible sensor that transmits when a patient has taken their medicine and is powered by their stomach juices. (Gives "powered by you" a whole new meaning!)
Streetline Parking Systems, that provide real-time data about available parking spaces. The information can be sent to your phone or update parking signs around the city to point to areas with available spaces. Less driving around looking for parking spaces!
The BigBelly trash system that uses solar power, compacts trash, and sends a text message when it is full. This dramatically reduces the number of times a truck has to come to pick up trash, freeing up resources and slashing fuel costs. This is a classic example of the efficiency of moving "bits not atoms."
But researchers are approaching the physical limits of sensors, Dr. Kommey explained. With the current rate of technology improvement, they'll reach the three-atom transistor by 2041. Once they hit that wall, it will force a revolution they way we do computing. But wait, researchers at Purdue University and the University of New South Wales are both working on a reliable one-atom transistors! Other researchers are working on "approximate computing" that will reduce computing requirements drastically. So it's unclear where the wall actually is. In the meantime, as Dr. Koomey promised, ultra-low power computing will change everything.

text: craft brewing The Politics Of Beer By-Products With Sen. Ron Wyden By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Apr 24, 2014 Listen Listening... / Sen. Ron Wyden explains his issue with proposed new rules on "spent grain" at breweries. A change in terminology for beer makers could cost them millions of dollars. Brewers often send the spent grain from their operations to ranchers as livestock feed. And a proposed federal regulation would require the breweries to dry the grain first, adding considerable costs to them--and potentially, to each bottle of beer.

A Life in Laughter
They used to say that George Washington was first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen, and Franklin was first in everything else. But at the nation's bicentennial, the mass-circulating Reader's Digest replaced Washington in the hearts of his countrymen with Ben Franklin because Franklin represented what Americans liked best about themselves.1 If Washington was the father of his countrymen, Franklin was their foxy grandpa, the designated humorist they could always rely on for a sharp saying or merry tale with the "Magical power" to cool the heat and dispel "melancholy fumes."2
Franklin could have called himself a doctor, diplomat, electrician, frontier general, insurance man, inventor, legislator, librarian, magistrate, newsman, postmaster, promoter, or publisher, but in his will, he called himself merely "printer." In an age when printers were also writers, he wrote humorous pieces for his brother's newspaper in Boston, later for his own Pennsylvania Gazette and Poor Richard's Almanac, for newspapers in London and Paris, and for pamphlets for fun or propaganda at home and abroad. In journalism, humor gave him a competitive edge and in propaganda, a shield for both attack and defense.
At fifteen, impersonating a feisty widow, Silence Dogood, Franklin wrote a series of comical essays for his brother James's New-England Courant. Her pieces helped in James's continuing competition with other printers. Most impressive was the lively way that Mrs. Dogood monitored Bostonians' manners and morals. Her sharp eye for precise detail and keen ear for dialogue and dialect on the streets of cosmopolitan Boston created dramatic immediacy for the new voice of America laughing.

While California's insurance industry awaits the results of recently enacted reforms to workers compensation, employer premiums will likely still face upward pressure for most of 2013 as implementation takes shape, insurance experts said.
Senate Bill 863, which was signed into law last September by Gov. Jerry Brown, attempts to curb escalating costs on premiums with a number of treatments, among them changing how benefits are calculated for injured employees, among other measures.
Unfortunately for employers, who for the past two years have contended with double-digit rate hikes, relief probably won't come until the second half of the year, if not later, because of a hardening insurance market that has kept pressure on carriers.
[caption id="attachment_68424" align="alignleft" width="125"] Hale Johnston[/caption]
"2013 in California workers compensation will be a dynamic year for everyone," said Hale Johnston, senior vice president and regional manager of the western region for Employers Insurance Company. "The market has been incredibly under-priced and it's been hardening. That trend will likely continue."
Even for companies with little or no claim action, premiums are increasing by approximately 8 percent, according to Brian Murphy, vice president of Heffernan Insurance Brokers North Bay Branch in Petaluma.
That could be compounded, however, because most insurance carriers filed for rate increases in July, meaning employers with policies renewing in the beginning of the year will likely be subject to both January and July increases, Mr. Murphy said.

Odontogenic cysts and tumors are relatively rare lesions that develop in the jawbone or the soft tissues in the mouth. "Odontogenic" means that these lesions originate from tissue related to tooth formation.
Odontogenic cysts and tumors can vary greatly in size and severity and the cause is not known. These lesions are usually noncancerous (benign), but they can be aggressive and invade the surrounding bone and tissue.
Treatment of odontogenic cysts and tumors generally involves surgical care but may include medical therapy for certain types of lesions.
