I have been using Subversion for about 2 years to manage a large C# project. On a recent Subversion update, a number of new folders were added to my source code folder:
35+ files were also added during the update, all appearing under the 4 new folders.
I haven't changed any client (I use TortoiseSVN) or server software related to Subversion, so I'm puzzled why these folders and files were suddenly introduced. It also seems strange that files seemingly related to the internal workings of Subversion are now part of my source code repository.
Can anyone shed some light on why this happened?
Thanks in advance,

God-Conscious Consumers
If we are aware that a company's practices conflict with justice, then we must make a conscious effort to administer fair dealing and avoid their products. Muslims are accountable before God regarding the steps they take – be it individual or collective – in order to change society for the better, and if this means spending several more dollars so as to not support child labor, it is a small sacrifice.
A quick trip through a supermarket provides us with countless options of the same product at prices so meager that we end up purchasing more than we need. After all, the globalization narrative states that since international trade has taken over for the past 30 years, the world market has benefited from an influx of a more diverse and inexpensive product presentation. It's great – with McDonald's in third world countries, who needs clean water when you can enjoy a Big Mac? Globalization and the unmitigated rise of capitalism as a social and ethical doctrine has led to the ascent of India and China as emerging world super powers –at least this is what we are indoctrinated through dirt-cheap products to believe. The contradictory breaking point emerges from the fact that the world celebrates a country's plunge into capitalism instead of mourning the loss of an opportunity to create a fair and equitable society.
Then again, how does poverty in India and child labor in Thailand have an impact on Muslims? The lack of comprehension of the Islamic economic system has swayed Muslims into accepting our conscious support of businesses who present absolutely negative ethical business practices. This is ironic and disappointing – somewhere, sometime back, our community decided we are going to boycott Israeli products and companies that support the Zionist regime, thereby placing economic pressure on the companies and following in the spirit of the compelling boycott of the South African Apartheid regime which began in the 1960s and achieved its purpose in the 1990s. How is it that any God-conscious Muslim can boycott Coca Cola, Starbucks, and IBM for supporting Israel, yet continue to shop at WalMart, which has engaged in the most dehumanizing labor practices towards impoverished women and children and purchased grain produced by Archer Daniels Midland, which has pushed millions of Indians into utter poverty and forced tens of thousands of farmers into suicide?
The diseases and inadequacies of the capitalistic system can only be countered by Islam's answer to economics; indeed, it has been proven time and time again that any man-made system is bound to failure and subsequently becomes a mechanism for injustice. Muslims living in the West and around the world are not privileged to live under Islam's economic system which stresses honesty, fairness, and dignifying the worker and consumer. So instead, we must strive to apply Islam's guiding principles in every aspect of our daily lives, and this begins with where we spend our money.
Islam was sent as the answer to oppression, a system for mankind to follow and implement in order to strive towards justice and equality. In addition, it is stressed that Muslims must put others before themselves. Companies such as WalMart, Nestle, Kraft Foods, and many others are creating a society where the poor are crushed. By purchasing their products and shopping at WalMart because it is cheaper, we are supporting a system of structural inequality. Muslims are not neoliberals, so why is it that we continue to support these policies? The Holy Qur'an suffices as the sole guide for producers and consumers:
"And, o my people! Give full measure and weight fairly, and defraud not men their things, and do not act corruptly in the land, making mischief." (11:85)
"O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor, for Allah can best protect both." (4:135)
Islam does not reject business, profit, or trade. It merely states that both consumers and producers are equally responsible in maintaining a society free of cheating and manipulation. Those who are aware that a company's practices conflict with justice must make a conscious effort to administer fair dealing and avoid their products. Muslims are accountable before God regarding the steps they take – be it individual or collective – in order to change society for the better, and if this means spending several more dollars so as to not support child labor, it is a small sacrifice.
One must be conscious of the many companies and countries that are oppressive, and measures must be taken to minimize, even attempt to eliminate, our support for these systems to the best of our abilities. There is a glaring hypocrisy found in neoliberal policies which have refused to spend 60-80 billion dollars to sort out the human race's basic problems (including sanitation, water, literacy and hunger in the third world). The irony is most apparent seeing that these same governments figured out they could raise one and a half trillion dollars in a mere few weeks to address the Wall Street melt-down. Instead of creating answers to poverty, the world's dominating powers are entering into marriage with multinational corporations and creating superficial markets that exploit the poor, destroy the environment, and ruthlessly impose inequality on millions. How can any person who acknowledges justice, humanity and compassion, support such a system? It is evident however, that these unfair labor practices and exploitation of complete nations is not a theme presented in every company. There are alternatives, so instead of celebrating the cheap prices found at big box corporations, we should instead critically think and ask: why is this so cheap? How many children worked on this product? How many cents were they paid – if any – for that day's work?
The world has grown accustomed to blaming third world countries for the problems of the developed world. We neglect to realize the current system has regressively broken complete societies in order for large corporations to make a profit and for us to be able to purchase a pair of shoes for 5 dollars at WalMart. Food prices reflect another oppression in and of themselves, and we must consider which companies we purchase our meals from. Just as the food prices in India led 75-year-olds to return to work performing physically demanding jobs, food companies recorded all-time historic profits. Wall Street companies and index funds like the Black Rock index funder were also betting on food. Additionally, unprecedented levels of speculation similar to those that had pushed oil prices to all-time highs were also responsible for skyrocketing food prices, which then never recovered to their original amount. As index funds invested unmitigated amounts of money in food production, food prices began to skyrocket. Rising food prices might hurt us by a few dollars per purchase in the West, but in the third world, where much of the grain is produced ironically, it leads to wide spread poverty and desperation. At the height of the crisis, the highest profits were recorded by Archer Daniels Midland, a grain processor in India. The unit of Archer Daniels Midland concerned with grain storage, transportation, and trading reported a seven fold increase in income while tens of millions fell into the starving ranks around the world.
It is incumbent upon every Muslim to understand and respond to the system of inequality. It is hypocritical to boycott Israeli products and companies while still support those that abuse women, children, and destroy complete nations. Islam commands justice and social progress from each and every one of its adherents, thus by consciously spending and working to protect the abased, we are simply fulfilling our Islamic obligation to better the world we live in.
Editor's Note: This article is part one of a two-part series. The next issue will include an article containing a list of companies that engage in un-Islamic and unethical labor and business practices.

Great article. As articles go, we need more of these.

Can't wait for the second part.
I think the Ahlul Bayt would have shopped at Wal-Mart because the prices are super cheap. They would have donated the extra savings to charity. That is why WE MUST shop at Wal-Mart if we are truly followers of Ahlul Bayt. If we shop at more expensive stores like Target, then we do not save money and cannot help poor people.

I respectfully disagree with all the points made by the author. Their argument is not based on Ahlul Bayt, it is based on the hippie way of life.

Are you out of your mind, brother? To being with, why are you bringing the Infallible Ones into something as low as as this? Secondly, How can you even think they would EVER buy from someone who is oppressive and takes unfair labor! And Thirdly, the article talks about not buying from such places, and it doesn't talk about buying from places that are more expensive. There are not only TWO kinds of markets and shops at one place.
The author must writing based on her research and knowledge. If anybody doesn't believe the argument, they should atleast do some research of their own rather than using out-of-context and unknowledgable comments.
At least Shias, aka hippies in your eyes believe in something called soap..
Do Kroger or Publix have better records?
Call me a hippie then :-)
I found this article very interesting. Although I must say that I disagree with the idea that if a product is cheap it was made in a sweatshop or by children. Today's modern marvels should also be accounted towards cheap prices not sweatshops and neglect of workers in 3rd world countries.
While many points made are undeniable, the fact of the matter, which is also undeniable, is that BECAUSE of companies like wal-mart, single handedly, millions of people have work which compensates them fairly and offers them benefits that most companies do not.

It is not a fair comparison, and even it is ignorant, to suppose that one cannot take a stance by boycotting zionist corporations without also boycotting wal-mart and the like. Very baseless and ignorant.

The author seems to be caught up in an ultra-liberalism mindstate which would have the world run by organic farmers and bazaar shop owners and large corporations would cease to control the economy...... guess what, if that happened then the farmers and the shop owners would have that power, and are you so naive as to believe that they would do any better and you would be happy then????? More than likely the biggest farm owner would engage in unfair practice and take advantage of the little guys.

I am not the biggest fan of wal mart, I am only being realistic. Being a muslim, or even being socially conscious in general, does not mean we have to live communal lives and grow our own food. It also does not mean we have to avoid discount stores, whom by the way, are the only reason unemployment is not much higher than it is.

lastly for the brother who said shia have soap and wahabbi dont, why would you lower yourself to their standards? A shia is not someone who believes imam ali (a) should have been the first khalifa, a shia is one who does their best to embody the akhlaq of the ahlul bait,.. and ignorant remarks is not of their (a) stature and it should not be of yours.

Salamun Alaikum
A Shia is not a person who believes Imam Ali (as) should have been the first caliph? Look, I'm with you about us trying to follow their example, but don't make up stuff about Islam please. Belief in his being the leader of the Muslims after the Prophet (s) is a core Shia belief and should not be played down.
totally agree, but have made nothing up....
i have studied the history and fiqh of the jaafari school for many years, and what i meant is clear.... but i will restate....

what was meant is that his being the leader of muslims was not merely a political role as the opponents of shiism would have people believe, but his leadership was a much deeper philosophical and ethical role. therefore, claiming to be a shia merely by claiming that amirul mumineen should have been the first khalifa and then living outside of the precepts that he set forth is futile.

... in numerous ruwaiyah from all of our holy aimmah, they state that a shia is one who adheres to the edicts of prophet muhammad and his holy family and live accordingly.

look at words for their meaning and not merely for their physical make up
additionally, people like talha and zubair said they would fight for imam ali (a) to get his rightful position..... but do any of us consider them shia today? no
We do not consider them Shia today, not because at one time they followed Imam Ali, but because they later turned against him.

There are two meanings behind the term Shia, and both of them necessitate belief in Imam Ali's leadership after the Prophet:

1. One believes that Imam Ali was the leader after the Prophet. This includes even Ismailis and other people. As long as a person dies with this belief, they are at the very least nominally Shia.

2. One believes that Imam Ali was the leader after the Prophet. The true Shia are those who follow them in all their actions and support. Whatever the masoom wants is what they want and whatever the masoom rejects, they reject. These Shias are definitely promised success in the next world.

Either way you look at it, the issue of leadership is a core belief. You can emphasize following Ahlul-Bait, which is good, but do not underestimate the principle of their authority after the Prophet (s) please.
Interesting article but I also don't agree with everything. If one wants to really get technical, simply living in America is supporting the oppressors of the world. If not mistaken, I heard that approx. 17% of our tax dollars go toward Israel alone. We can't stop shopping everywhere--and we can't label each and every Jewish-ownded company as Zionists either. I think Muslims are making life to hard for themselves. One reason prices are cheap at Walmart is because they buy in HUGE quantities--which lowers the price. My mother used to own a little tiny store--her prices were horribly high because she couldn't buy in bulk. I guess if Muslims want to go back 1000 years ang start doing everything from scratch in their own back yards--fine. But, it won't be easy in Michigan where the growing season is only a short 2 months and city regulations won't allow sheep or cattle in our yars for milk and wool. Muslims, take it easy--things may be tough--but not as bad as you think. Go to the mid-east where there is no forced labor. People are still working for little each day. Chinese workers gain approx. 1$ each day--so does that mean we should also boycott everything Chinese?
. Each of the Holy Imams (a.s) was having this quality, and that too, at the most excellent level. Neither they ever committed an iota of injustice nor they bore the oppression of anyone in a humiliating way. They always followed the dictum that "death is better than a life of humiliation". Rather, justice is seen in the fulfillment of the rights of others and in judging between two parties. Every person faces many occasions in his life, when it becomes necessary for him to observe justice. But there are very few people in the world who have never abandoned justice.
Assalaam alaikum,

A fantastic article that might not give us all the answers but certainly highlights sin that we are all culpable for in this day of age, may Allah (SWT) have mercy on us.

It is disappointing that the brothers/sisters who have commented have tried their hardest to find excuses for our negligence. As those who have faith it has become incumbent upon us to strive for justice against oppression, to promote the good and forbid the evil. Excuses are not going to work on the day of judgement, we know this, instead we must work in the way of Allah (SWT) by denouncing unethical businesses and individuals.
There are alternatives, I don't have all the answers but buying from local stores, purchasing locally produced goods, supporting businesses with strong ethical policies, simply buying only what we need and not committing the sin of being wasteful. If we can do this ourselves, and set an example for non-Muslim consumers then we have the power to change the way businesses operate. At the end of the day, their main priority is to please us consumers, if we don't buy their products, they are going to change their ways in order to retain sales. Monopolies themselves are unethical and un-Islamic, if we support small businesses and local farmers who are dependent on our custom and have a good relationship with us they will not become the ones with power but will be ethical contributors to their local community. And the added bonus to all this is that by shopping more sustainably and ethically you will be addressing many environmental problems and will be helping to protect Allah's (SWT) creation and maintain its balance.

Nobody is calling on you to put yourselves in hardship, the degree to which you strive for justice is between you and Allah (SWT), and He will be the one who will judge your actions and intentions. If you want to make a good impression then I suggest that you stop making excuses, take the knowledge you have read on board (now you have been made aware it has become even more your duty to act on it) and do your best to change your lifestyle and the world you live in for the better, inshaAllah you will get a fine reward :)
Small steps can make a huge difference..it doesn't mean putting hardship on yourself when you avoid companies and name brands that cause social harm and destruction. It's small steps that can change the world. Even writing to companies is a positive step!
I agree with the author that we should be conscious consumers. There are still sweatshops in third world country and we are not aware of the working conditions, pay rate, treatment of employees. There is ONE simple answer to buying ethically: FAIR TRADE. Check it out: http://www.fairtrade.net/

By buying fair trade, you are ensuring that a person is not being exploited and is earning his/her fair share of the product that is being produced. It's as simple as that.

Brigitte le Grignou and Charles Patou
During the past years, who hasn't been fooled by those advertisements or articles presenting the internet as a panacea which could both free people and be considered as the origin of a 'new economy' promising sweet hereafter?
(Laurent Jesover, ATTAC-France's webmaster)
This chapter attempts to challenge the potential democratizing function of the internet as used by social movements by examining the case study of the Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions for the Aid of Citizens (ATTAC 1). ATTAC, as this chapter will show, is a unique organization, particularly in terms of its membership. Started in France in June 1998, the association claimed during its plenary assembly (in La Rochelle, December 2002) to be able to claim representation via 250 local committees as well as having 30,000 supporters, 28,700 of them being paid-up members. ATTAC was, indeed, surprised by its success. Over 6000 people attended its General Meeting in January 2002: more than double the board's expectations.
ATTAC's influence has spread through French political life, with communities signing up as members of ATTAC; members of parliament and senators have created an 'inter-group' within the French Parliament. Its power was recognized by the President's invitation to Bernard Cassen, the former chairman of the association, 2 to a conference organized by the diplomatic department of the Elysee Palace.
ATTAC has also achieved international growth, with 35 separate movements being created around the world (mostly in Europe but also in Brazil, Japan, Quebec, Senegal, etc.). This internationalization means that ATTAC-France has a team of 500 translators who translate all the data and documents of the website into Spanish, Portuguese, English, etc.

New Jersey Town Plagued by Stench of Rotting Meat
Two weeks after a fire struck a Dietz and Watson factory, the nearby town is still suffering the gag-inducing aftereffects.
It's been two weeks since a massive fire at a Dietz and Watson food-storage facility in Delanco, New Jersey, but residents are still taking refuge indoors from the odor of rotten meat and burned flesh that has pervaded the area since the blaze. The company says the air is safe and that it's doing everything it can to move meat that's still in the site. But the 30 truckloads of putrid beef products removed yesterday apparently have done nothing to clear the rank air. [NBC Philadelphia]

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Andres Mendoza scored twice and the Columbus Crew rallied to beat the short-handed Colorado Rapids 4-1 Sunday night.
Mendoza's seventh goal — sixth in the past six games — made it 3-1 in the 48th minute and Tommy Heinemann added his first Major League Soccer score nine minutes later.
Both goals came after Conor Casey was sent off after sliding into the head of goalkeeper William Hesmer with his knee in the 29th minute. Casey gave the Rapids a 1-0 lead in the 5th minute.
It was the seventh time this season the Crew (6-4-6) have had an opponent red-carded.
A pair of Colorado (5-5-7) turnovers let the Crew take the lead on goals by Eddie Gaven in the 12th minute and Mendoza in the 18th.

Feb 26 2009Billy Idol's 'White Wedding', The Literal Version
This is the literal music video for Billy Idol's 'White Wedding'. I'm mostly posting it because I have a special affinity for Billy. You see, I went to see The Who perform Quadrophenia and Billy Idol made a special appearance dressed as a bell boy when they played the appropriately titled 'Bell Boy'. Then they broke into "White Wedding" and Billy scanned the entire crowd before flipping me the bird. Out of all those people, he chose ME to flick off! I haven't blinked since. Love you Billy! What do you say -- me, you, a white wedding? Sleep on it.

Thanks to Dustin, who had an orange and purple wedding because of the acid.

AF tuition assistance application window delayed for FY14
AF tuition assistance application window delayed for FY14
Posted 8/29/2013 Updated 8/29/2013
Email story
Print story
8/29/2013 -
-- Airmen applying for tuition assistance in fiscal 2014 will see several changes in both eligibility for and administration of the program.
Due to these changes, the application window for classes beginning on or after Oct. 1 will not open until Sept. 9 to allow for system updates.
This program is applicable to Guard and Reserve only when they are activated.
The cornerstone of the Air Force's FY14 program will be supervisor involvement. Airmen who apply for TA will be required to obtain supervisor approval for all requests. Supervisors may deny requests for Airmen in any level of upgrade training, if the Airman will be TDY or will be PCSing during the academic term, if the Airman is enrolled in PME or for any other factors the supervisor determines would impede the Airman's ability to complete the course.
Requests for TA for foreign language courses will only be approved if they are part of a degree or are on the approved language shortage list. TA will not be approved for Airmen seeking a degree at the same level as they currently hold, with a few exceptions in support of certain graduate foreign language/affairs programs, cyber law master's degrees and multiple Community College of the Air Force degrees for Airmen who hold multiple enlisted Air Force specialty codes.
"Air Force leaders worked very hard to develop a TA program that provides the best opportunities for Airmen and meets Air Force needs. Higher education continues to be a cornerstone of Airmen's development at all levels," said Kimberly Yates, the Air Force Voluntary Education chief. The Air Force instruction for voluntary education will be rewritten to reflect these changes.
Failing to meet Air Force standards will impact an Airman's eligibility. TA requests from Airmen who have unfavorable information files, failed/overdue physical fitness testing, received referral performance reports or are on a control roster will automatically be denied.
The fundamental financial benefits of TA are unchanged. Airmen who are approved to receive TA may receive up to $4,500 per fiscal year and a maximum of $250 per semester hour including tuition and allowable fees.
"The changes to TA in FY14 require Airmen and their supervisors to more actively engage in managing academic pursuits and goals," said Russell Frasz, the director of Force Development. "This will help leaders ensure Airmen take advantage of academic opportunities while balancing their goals with mission requirements."
The Air Force Virtual Education Center will undergo significant modifications to accommodate these changes, which has driven a delay in the opening of the application window for FY14 courses from Aug. 1 until Sept. 9.
"The delay will help us test the system and ensure it is user friendly and will work smoothly for Airmen," Yates said. For the first time, Airmen in the field are involved in testing the updated system and providing feedback to make it as user friendly as possible.
Airmen should contact their base education office for more details or for assistance in applying.

Arctic Monkeys: Next one to tell us Purple Rain was filmed at First Avenue gets punched
Photo courtesy of Arctic Monkeys' Facebook
On the strength of their live energy and polished rock chops, Arctic Monkeys have grown into one of the biggest bands in the world. They're now regular festival headliners on both sides of the Atlantic, and the Sheffield, England, quartet's recent album, AM, was nominated for this past year's Mercury Music Prize. At long last, the lads return to Minneapolis, once again eschewing a larger venue to instead play First Avenue.
Gimme Noise chatted with bassist Nick O'Malley during his band's tour stop in Missouri during the first leg of their current jaunt through the U.S., which includes their long sold-out show at First Avenue tonight. We talked about the recording sessions for AM, what making music with Josh Homme is like, and the inevitable conversation every single time they play First Avenue.
See Also: Arctic Monkeys and the Vaccines at First Avenue, 5/28/2011
Gimme Noise: What were the recording sessions like for AM, and has the band changed their approach to the studio at all over the years?
Nick O'Malley: I don't think it's so much like we've changed our approach in any way. It's always been an ongoing learning experience. When we did the first and second albums, we were all just 18-19 years old, and we didn't really know what we were doing or anything. So, we haven't necessarily changed our approach, but we take it as a learning experience for all of us, and over time we know what we're doing a little bit more. It seems like we're more in control now -- for better or worse, I suppose [laughs].
How important have James Ford's steady production and musical contributions been to the band as you've evolved over the years and your career took off?
He's extremely important, yeah. He's the kind of producer that has got a very good ear for getting the best out of a band. He kind of knows when you're going down a road that is a dead end and things like that. And he plays everything, you know. He's one of them multi-instrumentalist kind of guys that can play everything, and he can just get involved in whatever you're doing and kind of spur you on. He's got a great knowledge of how to make songs the best they can be, and he's just kind of into everything. He's a great guy to have around, kind of like an older brother. I think with our albums, and the way we do things, he's always been very approachable with his input.
Rhythm has always been such an important, distinctive part of Arctic Monkeys sound, especially on AM. How have you and Matt [Helders, the drummer] managed to strengthen and enhance the pulse of the band from one album to the next?
I don't really know, I guess. [laughs] It's never really been a conscious thing. I suppose on this record, we just tried to simplify everything. It just kind of made sense with the songs. But on our last couple of records, Matt has always had this way of playing that isn't necessarily experimental but a little bit out of the ordinary, where he doesn't do the obvious thing, I suppose. And I kind of try and emulate that. But on this record, we just decided to really just simplify things, and it just really made sense with the songs. We tried to contribute more with backing vocals, and just didn't want to make the drum and bass too complicated.
Yeah, it seems like you are called on to sing a lot more on AM than you have in the past. How did that come about initially, and are you pleased with the ultimate results of your vocal contributions?
Yeah, definitely. It just came about naturally at the start. We did the song "R U Mine?" first, before we even started recording the album. We liked how the backing vocals and the melody sounded on that, and we wanted to explore that type of direction a little bit more on the record. So, yeah, there's a lot of me and Matt singing high falsettos and stuff like that, and we tried to exploit that a little bit more this time, as opposed to trying to do these crazy drums and bass. I think live it comes across really well.
Your potent live show has made you regular festival headliners throughout the world. Do you have to adjust your shows or scale things back in any way when you play clubs and theaters again in the U.S.?
Yeah, I suppose. If we play festivals, we might try and make it more accessible for everyone. Because everyone there might not necessarily be there to see you, so we bear that in mind a little bit, and we come up with a set that is a listenable to people that may not have heard our music or even like our music. But when we play our own shows, we can throw a few more rare songs in there, because obviously the people there want to see you, so we can throw some B-sides in there that our fans who bought tickets will appreciate more. As opposed to festivals, where you just have to go in and throw your hits around.
The last time that I saw you was when you opened for the Black Keys -- that was the last time you played Minneapolis. What were those shows like for you guys, and what did you take away from that big arena tour of the U.S.?
Yeah, we really, really enjoyed that tour. It was a great time. It was kind of strange, because we had never really done anything like that before. We were lucky enough to start up as a band and immediately start headlining our own shows. So we had never really supported anyone before -- not on a full tour or anything like that, we'd opened up at one-off gigs for Oasis and stuff like that, but never a full tour supporting someone. But it went great. We took a lot on board, I think. You see how you have to try and make it work for you in that arena environment, and how different it is than playing some small show in some town. It spurred us on a lot, and got us to think that yeah, we'd like to do that by ourselves one day.
The band has continued to work and record with Josh Homme over the years. What type of influence and inspiration do you draw from him and his venerable career and wealth of musical knowledge?
We were all really big fans of Josh's music, and the Queens of the Stone Age stuff. And I think while we were getting ready to record our third album, Humbug, our label guy at Domino asked us who we would like to work with on this record? And we were like, 'It would be great to work with Josh Homme,' but kind of thinking that would never really happen [laughs]. But then the label came back and said that yeah, Josh said he would give it a go. And we had the opportunity to just go and try and make it work, and do some demos with him and just see what happened.
And it was just one of those things where, in an instant you just knew -- he was an instantaneously likable character, and we all just gelled and got on with him really well. He took us out to the desert and he introduced us to his whole musical world. He took us under his desert wing, if you will. And we just really enjoyed it and had a great time. He taught us a lot. With his records, he puts a lot of time into making everything sound really great. And as well as sounding great -- whether it's guitar tones or drums sounds or anything like that -- in his songs, there's always at least one instrument doing something enjoyable to listen to. Nothing's ever just playing for the sake of it. We have tried to really take that philosophy into the band.
It seemed like straight from the start, the music world really embraced you guys. How have you dealt with the massive attention shown to the band along with the pressure of expectations, and has it gotten any easier to deal with over the years?
Yeah, I think so. But the media attention was never really something that we've gotten caught up in. Obviously, it's a necessary part of trying to be a successful band, and we enjoy being popular, we're not trying to get away from that. We've always ignored that sense of pressure or anything, we've never really felt it that much. We never set out to make records to please anyone, the way we make records is completely selfish, I suppose. We just want to please ourselves and our friends, and if everybody else likes it then that's just a massive bonus.
Minneapolis took an immediate liking to your band, and you guys have sold out First Avenue every time that you've played here. Have you developed an affinity for the city at all over the years, and are there any memorable stories you'd like to share from your time here?
[Laughs] Yeah, I've got quite a few stories. First Avenue is that place where -- it's kind of an ongoing joke that if the next time we play there, if one more person tells us that Purple Rain was filmed there, I'm going to punch them in the face. [Laughs] Every time we go there, all the local crew guys are like, "You know that Purple Rain..." YES. We've played here a few times, we know that now. Yes, we're aware that Purple Rain was filmed here. But everybody wants to tell you that anyway. But don't get me wrong, we absolutely love that venue. Either the first or the second time we played there, it was Matt's 21st birthday, so we had a pretty special night out after that show. We definitely had a good time. We can't wait to come back. We're looking forward to it. We're just excited to play the venue where Purple Rain was filmed [laughs].
Arctic Monkeys play First Avenue on Friday, February 14, at 7:30 p.m. along with Saint Motel. The show is sold out.

Business analytics running on System z: 3 great reasons why it's a perfect match

IBM recently made some major announcements about its mainframe and more than 30 new and enhanced software products for System z alone. This tightly integrated new technology addresses top-of-mind business concerns, including those around data and how, in an increasingly information-centric world, can you get more value from it?
IBM's response helps deliver strategic and operational analytics that give clients more insight at every level across the enterprise. There's nothing more "enterprise" oriented than System z. The October 3 software announcements included these business analytics solutions that run on System z:
What are the advantages of business analytics on System z?
Let's consider these three key areas:
How does it all fit together?
I'm attending the Information on Demand (IOD) 2012 conference this week in Las Vegas along with 11,000 others. I've enjoyed hearing about the value System z and business analytics, and more examples of how and why this "perfect match" works.
As noted many times here at IOD 2012, business analytics is more than getting insight into your enterprise. It's about taking action and making an impact.

State lawmakers are looking for ways to pay for more road projects, including raising gas taxes, using state sales taxes or finding other funding.
Road funding is a frequent topic at the Statehouse, with gasoline tax collections staying stagnant and construction and repair costs increasing.
But legislators are spending more time on the issue this year, with the goal of making sure the state, counties, cities and towns have the money they need for roads, a Statehouse leader said.
"There are several ideas on the table. I'm very encouraged that many people are addressing the issue in many ways. There's a lot more talk this year. It's at much higher levels," said State Sen. Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville.
Ideas include increasing the state gas tax from its current rate of 18 cents or spending more of the money collected on road work, allowing counties to collect their own local gas tax for road work, and using state sales tax money for roads, said Kenley, the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
The legislative session runs through April, and Kenley said it's too early to tell what, if anything, will be approved this year.
"We'd like to solve these things before they become a crisis," he said.
Collections from the gas tax, which fund road work, have been decreasing. The state collected $534 million in the gas tax in 2012, which was a 6 percent drop from $568 million in 2007, according to Indiana State Auditor annual reports.
Purdue University researchers completed a study for the Indiana Department of Transportation estimating the gas tax could drop by another $100 million by 2022 if nothing is done.
The state charges 18 cents tax per gallon, which was last raised from 15 cents in 2002, and shares 45 percent of the gas tax with counties, cities and towns.
Raising the tax again isn't getting much consideration because lawmakers expect gas consumption to continue to drop in the future, said State Sen. Rodric Bray, who represents Union, Hensley and White River townships in Johnson County.
"Ultimately we're going to have to look at a long-term fix as the gas tax continues to drop. People are driving fewer miles, and gas mileage is better; and that's the reason for the hole we've got," he said.
Because gas prices already are high, legislators are unlikely to increase the price even more, Bray said.
State Sen. Brent Waltz wants to allow counties to collect their own gas tax for local road funding.
A local gas tax would serve as another option instead of a wheel tax, like the one Johnson County has in place, which charges a fee every time a person registers a vehicle. Waltz, a former Johnson County Council member, voted against the wheel tax in 2003 and 2005.
"It's a user fee more than anything else. So the more road you drive, the more gasoline you would likely use, the more tax you would pay," he said.
Johnson County Commissioner Ron West has advocated for a local gas tax for years.
He said the wheel tax is unfair because it charges a flat rate to everyone, no matter how much they drive each year. West was the only county council member to vote against renewing the county's wheel tax when it was renewed for another five years in 2012.
Having the tax in place has weakened the county's voice in trying to get the state to allow a local gas tax, he said.
"Once you pass the wheel tax, then the emphasis goes away on trying to secure the gas tax. I think if we don't have the wheel tax, then we're going to get everyone in the cities and towns and county behind (the gas tax)," West said.
Other ideas being discussed at the Statehouse include taking a part of the 7 percent sales tax charged on gasoline sales and devoting that to roads or no longer paying for Indiana State Police and Department of Motor Vehicles expenses out of the state motor vehicle fund.
Both of those idea would mean more money would be spent from the state's general fund, Bray said.
Another option being discussed is using money not spent from the state's budget.
Gov. Mike Pence's budget proposal would end 2014 with a $267 million surplus of taxes collected but not spent. Pence has proposed putting half of that surplus into road funding, Kenley said.

Fuentes, the central figure in the Operation Puerto case, a drugs scandal with possible repercussions across all sports, was sentenced to a year in prison - but the judge presiding over the case also ruled that all evidence in the case was to be destroyed, damaging the chances of understanding the operation's scale and breath.
Fuentes - who is unlikely to be jailed because sentences under two years in Spain are usually suspended - was convicted for crimes against public health, barred from practising sports medicine for four years and fined.
However, judge Julia Santamaria's decision not to release case evidence, including bags of blood seized in police raids, to anti-doping authorities for further investigations hit hopes that the case would unmask athletes caught up in the doping programme.
Murray, writing on Twitter, asked whether the verdict represented the biggest cover-up in sports history.
"operacion puerto case is beyond a joke... biggest cover up in sports history? why would court order blood bags to be destroyed? #coverup"
The Spanish anti-doping agency has said that it would appeal the judge's ruling to destroy the evidence.

i must be a zebra then... ಠ_ಠ
That works i guess
It's more along the lines of 'lions don't eat zebras covered in lead paint'.
Oddly enough in folklore, it is believed that the unicorn and lion are mortal enemies.
The zebra is still screwed.
The zebra is still screwed.
Yes, and in Alice In Wonderland they fight for the crown. There's a poem about it, one minute on the internet would find it.
Foolish Zebra.
Foolish Zebra.
Oh my freakin gosh its so adorable! -Peyton
But Voldemort Eats Unicrons ;............;
hahahhahahahaha lol!
that unicorn is smart
Now THAT is a waste of good ice cream. Unicorns don't waste their ice cream Zebra! I think he need to work on acting like a unicorn first.
So adorkable
fucking logic...
It's fun cause, lions are the mortal enemies of unicorns and will attack and eat them before any other creature in myth.
Actually lions DO eat unicorns. Look it up.
Now that's smart thinkin'!
YES! just yes...
The icecream melts xDDD
It makes so much sense. O_O
Aw.. and a wonderful unicorn you will be
But... Dragons do.
ha ha ha!
This is amazing! Clever Zebra : )
love it!!
Well, actually according to legend, lions do eat unicorns; its just they have to be careful not to get impaled by the unicorn's big long sharp horn.
actually in some myths lions attack unicorns and if the unicorn gets it's horn stuck in a tree the lion finally kills and eats it
However I think lions fight unicorns. "The Lion and the Unicorn"
Edible Horn!
seems legit...

I'm using this VB code
Public Function LastVersionOwned(rCol As Range, versionOwned As Range) As Range
Set LastVersionOwned = Application.WorksheetFunction.Lookup(2, 1 / (rCol = rCol.Find("*", rCol.Cells(1), , , , xlPrevious)), versionOwned)
End Function
What is supossed to do is find the last non empty row in a range and then use that value to get the header of the row, but when I use it, it returns #VALUE! rCol is the range (list of rows where I want to get the last non empty value e.g. C12:F12) and versionOwned are the headers of the tables (also a range, but static C11:F11)
If i use it like this
Public Function LastVersionOwned(rCol As Range) As Range
Set LastVersionOwned rCol.Find("*", rCol.Cells(1), , , , xlPrevious)
End Function
And the in excel I do
it Work, any idea how I can fix this bug?

Channeling Banks into TV Syndication
Kraus, James R., American Banker
Loeb & Loeb, a New York-based law firm, thinks it can take foreign banks into television series financing.
In a complex financial structuring the firm hopes will serve as a model for similar deals, Loeb & Loeb has helped a team at the Los Angeles office of Holland's ING Capital Group finance an original syndicated TV series for Sunbow Productions.
The show, "Conan The Adventurer," will cost several million dollars to produce.
The financing "has all the markings of providing a mechanism where none had been before," said Robert S. Reich, a partner with Loeb & Loeb.
"It's something that should work not only for individual cases, but on a generalized basis as well," he said.
Until now, foreign banks, like U.S. banks, have been willing to finance film production but unwilling to finance syndicated television because the returns are far more uncertain.
In fact, given the way original TV productions are distributed, financing them simply is "not bankable," Mr. Reich says.
Barter Concept a Problem
The reason, he says, is that producers distribute syndicated original TV productions on a so-called "barter" basis.
Whereas producers of theatrical films sell them to distributors, who pay the bank, a syndicated TV series or program is offered to stations across the country in exchange for a fixed amount of advertising time.
The series distributor arranges to sell that time and uses the funds to pay back the financing.
"Banks won't lend against that concept because advertising time may or may not have value, and it becomes too speculative," Mr. Reich points out.
"In fact, there's not even a minimum guarantee on repayment because the very entity that sells programs to TV stations has no obligations to make any payment [to the bank]."
As a result, he noted, producers of such series had to frequently reach into their own pockets for financing or find a financing partner on less than favorable terms.
The ING team, many of whom formerly worked for Credit Lyonnais, declined to be interviewed for this article.
A Commitment on Ads
However, according to Mr. Reich, Loeb & Loeb first arranged for the distributor to agree to obtain advertising commitments from a fixed percentage of the stations it targeted for distribution.
Second, the New York law firm obtained a "completion bond" from a company that agreed to complete and deliver the film if sufficient advertising commitments were obtained in time to meet distribution deadlines.
Third, it got the distributor to agree to pay back the bank if the distributor failed to obtain the agreed-upon TV coverage.
"The key word is matching risk with obligations and making classic wisdom for single-picture financing work in a broader context," Mr. Reich said.
"The concept was to match all the obligations so that it would smell, look, and taste like a single-picture financing."
ING is not the only foreign financial group that sees entertainment financing as a profitable source of revenues.

Film and video exports are one of the biggest and best growing industries in the U. …

Bad bounces plague Tigers in loss to Royals
With the Tigers struggling and Kansas City on a roll, it wasn't surprising that the Royals might get a couple lucky bounces on Wednesday afternoon.
DETROIT -- With the Tigers struggling and Kansas City on a roll, it wasn't surprising that the Royals might get a couple lucky bounces on Wednesday afternoon.
It just doesn't usually happen quite so fast.
In the top of the first inning, with two out and a runner on second, Alex Gordon hit the world's most routine ground ball up the middle. Eugenio Suarez was in perfect position to field the ball and flip to first base to end the inning.
But the Royals are the hottest team in baseball, and the Tigers can't buy a break, so a ball hit up the middle turned out to be precisely up the middle. As Suarez watched helplessly, the ball hit second base and deflected into shallow right field for an RBI single.
"The way things have been going for us, I almost expected the ball to hit the bag," Smyly said. "That's just how things are going right now."

With a break like that, the Royals wouldn't win in a rout -- that would ruin the whole point of getting a lucky bounce. The final score was 2-1, as Detroit's offense couldn't reward Smyly's outstanding performance.
"Drew did a great job," Ausmus said. "He had really nice stuff, he got us into the eighth inning and he gave us a fantastic chance to win a game. We just didn't take advantage. Their guy threw well -- you have to give him credit -- but we have to find a way to score some runs."
Ausmus admitted that his response to Gordon's fluke single wasn't anything that could be used in print -- "and I'm pretty sure I said it out loud, too" -- but he wasn't willing to use that as an excuse for Detroit's 20th loss in 29 games.
"Those are the things that happen when one team is 9-20 and the other team has won 10 in a row," Ausmus said, "But it was one run in the top of the first inning. We had plenty of time to recover. That wasn't why we lost the game."
Ausmus was right, but it also wasn't the last time the Tigers had a reason to feel unlucky. Facing the usual shift and trying to kick-start the offense, Victor Martinez put down a perfect bunt down the third-base line. As the Royals watched helplessly, the ball rolled down the line toward the base, appearing to be the perfect execution of a smart play.
Except, two feet from third, the ball swerved to the left and rolled an inch on the foul side of the base.
Martinez groaned loudly in frustration when asked about the play.
Don Kelly
"That's just how baseball goes some of the time," he said. "I'm just trying to do anything to get us a baserunner, especially with J.D. coming up next. He's been hitting the ball really well. It just didn't work."
J.D. Martinez did homer in the seventh inning, pulling the Tigers within 2-1, and everyone in the park thought they had tied the game moments later. With two out, Nick Castellanos crushed a hanging slider to left, and the ball evaded Alex Gordon's leaping grab. But even that wasn't enough. The wind blowing in from left was just strong enough that the ball hit the top of the fence instead of clearing it, leaving Castellanos with a double.
Royals manager Ned Yost immediately brought in hard-throwing reliever Kelvin Herrera. Don Kelly fouled off pitches at 98 and 99 mph, then harmlessly flew out to centerfield on a 90-mph changeup.
"The first two games of this series were tough, because they beat up our aces, but we know that JV and Max are going to give us a chance to win almost every time," Kelly said. "This one was just frustrating, because we came so close. Drew did a great job, but a ball hits the bag for them, and misses it for us, and then Nick misses a homer by an inch.
"At the end of the day, though, we just didn't get the job done again. That's what we need to change."

One man was taken to a hospital to have a bullet removed from his foot and another suffered a minor graze wound in two gun accidents over the weekend, police said.
Both accidents happened Saturday evening. In Greenwood, a man accidentally shot his friend in the foot while looking at a handgun during a child's birthday party. Near Acton, another man was grazed by a bullet fragment that ricocheted off a target at a professional shooting range during a firearm training course.
The accidental shootings occurred just weeks after multiple houses in a Greenwood subdivision were pierced by bullets being fired from a rural home.
The recent accidents are a reminder that people need to be safe with guns, such as by making sure a gun is unloaded before cleaning it or making extra arrangements when target-shooting to ensure bullets are stopped.
"That's why even when we shoot, we have to stress safety," Sheriff Doug Cox said.
The man injured in the Greenwood shooting, Dustin Knauss, 24, was taken to Eskenazi Hospital in Indianapolis because the bullet was still lodged in his foot, according to a police report. He was released from the hospital later that night.
Knauss' friend, Michael Nimz, 23, removed the magazine from the handgun while showing it off but forgot to remove the bullet from the chamber. Nimz pulled the trigger, striking Knauss in the top of his foot, according to a Greenwood Police Department report.
The accident occurred in a bedroom at Nimz's house, 604 Park Drive, during a birthday party for a 3-year-old child about 6:45 p.m., the report said.
About two hours earlier, Johnson County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to a shooting range located at 7731 E. County Road 1000N. Students taking a National Rifle Association pistol basic course were firing at hanging metal plates, when a bullet fragment bounced off a plate and grazed a student, Robert Sheipe, 67, Carmel, according to a report from the Johnson County Sheriff's Office.
Sheipe closed the small cut with two bandages and declined medical treatment when an ambulance arrived.
The shooting range near Acton is run by Custom Cop Corp., which hosts firearm training courses. The range is a similar quality to the one at the sheriff's office with a good backstop to stop bullets, so it's typically very safe, Cox said. The metal targets students were firing at can shatter bullets, which is why the sheriff's office stopped using those types of targets in its range in the past, he said.
"We used to shoot at steel plates, and it's nice because you can hear when you hit it. But you don't know where those bullets are going after it hits that steel target," Cox said.
The accident is another reminder bullets can bounce or shatter unless they hit something solid to slow them down, such as a pile of dirt or sand, Cox said.
Police said bullets bounced more than a half-mile from a home on County Road 25W and hit three houses in nearby Southern Pines subdivision earlier this month.
Bullets that missed targets either bounced off the ground or sailed high into the air, striking three homes in the Greenwood subdivision. One of the rifle bullets pierced a child's playroom, another went through a wall and file cabinet in a bedroom and a third shattered a window in a house during that incident.
No criminal charges were filed in that incident, but the property owner was given a ticket for violating the county's firearm ordinance because bullets were leaving the property.

Belated Drive for Five; Terps Brush off Duke in the Second Half
Byline: Rick Snider, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
A classic trap almost ensnared the Maryland Terrapins.
A lightly regarded opponent and a coming week off nearly caused Maryland to overlook Duke last night. The Terps won their fifth straight 33-20 before 50,084 at Byrd Stadium but didn't dominate until the second half.
Duke (2-4, 0-3 ACC) lost a conference-record 28th straight despite a near 11-minute edge in time of possession. The Blue Devils simply couldn't convert third downs despite regularly testing the Terps' 12th-ranked defense.
Conversely, Maryland didn't run by the ACC's second-worst run defense before halftime. The Terps' 29 yards in the first half all came on an option run.
"We're sporadic," coach Ralph Friedgen said. "Offensively, we played well in spurts, but we don't put it all together. That's where we have to play better."
Maryland (5-2, 2-1) doesn't play again until Oct.23 at Georgia Tech (4-3, 2-2), and the Terps' battered offensive line clearly needs a respite, opening little running room inside for the second straight week. Maryland needed a gimmick play and a career-long field goal by kicker Nick Novak to gain a 13-0 halftime lead.
"I'm going to give the kids some time off, and hopefully they'll get well," Friedgen said. "In the last five games, we have to be at our best. I'm hoping we're going to get excited at Georgia Tech. It could have a lot of impact on the rest of our season. We're capable of winning our last five games. We're capable of losing all five."
The Terps' defense finally clicked in the second quarter and delivered another standout effort before allowing three meaningless scores. Maryland's pass rush wore down the Blue Devils as Duke quarterback Mike Schneider completed just 20 of 47 for 270 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
Maryland got a scare when Novak was stunned while covering a kickoff with 6:35 remaining in the first half. He soon kicked an extra point, then was rested until late in the third quarter. He later missed a 40-yard field goal attempt before converting 31- and 48-yarders to tie a personal-best four field goals. Punter Adam Podlesh also handled kickoffs in the second half, and Dan Ennis kicked an extra point.
"I felt like my head was on fire," Novak said, "but it went away. …

My daughter is 12 sometimes she complains of headaches and sore eyes after using the computer ...she uses the computer for about an hour a day.......I'm sure she has 20/20 vision but is there such thing as computer glasses for children and do you think they would be necessary?
Written answer:
Although you think she has normal vision, she may still need a correction because she may be longsighted or have astigmatism which will cause the headaches. Computer screens tend to exaggerate the condition and make it more apparent. She may need glasses for normal reading as well. Get her eyes examined at your optometrist as soon as you are able.
We recommend you seek professional advice if you are concerned about your eye health:Book an appointment

CASTELPETROSO, ITALY – Youth unemployment is a defeat for humanity, Pope Francis said during a visit to the southern Italian region of Molise July 5. "We cannot resign ourselves to losing a whole generation of young people who don't have the strong dignity of work," Pope Francis said during a meeting with the region's young people in the town of Castelpetroso. "A generation without work is a future defeat for the country and for humanity," the pope told the young people.
More than a meeting and homily, Pope Francis laid out a clear road map for the Church when he celebrated Mass and welcomed abuse survivors to the Vatican. The morning he dedicated to six men and women who had been abused by clergy was a powerful combination of upholding the importance of the letter of the law and displaying the proper spirit behind it. Jesuit Father Hans Zollner, a German psychologist and psychotherapist who accompanied two abuse survivors July 7, said: "This is not only about the letter of the law. This has to come from the heart if this is to really take fruit" and make real, lasting change.
VATICAN CITY – Asking for forgiveness, Pope Francis told abuse survivors that "despicable actions" caused by clergy have been hidden for too long and had been "camouflaged with a complicity that cannot be explained." "There is no place in the Church's ministry for those who commit these abuses, and I commit myself not to tolerate harm done to a minor by any individual, whether a cleric or not," and to hold all bishops accountable for protecting young people, the pope said during an early morning Mass for six survivors of abuse by clergy. The Mass and private meetings held later with each individual took place in the Domus Sanctae Marthae – the pope's residence.
MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – Some senior Anglican leaders have voiced their support for assisted suicide just days before a crucial debate on the subject in the British House of Lords. Lord Carey, who served as archbishop of Canterbury from 1991 to 2002, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, former archbishop of Cape Town, South Africa, each said they were in favour of the practice. Anglican Bishop Alan Wilson of Buckingham also has declared his support for "assisted dying," making him the first serving bishop of the Church of England to say that doctors should be legally permitted to help their patients to commit suicide.
Father Matthew Chojna's faith began to grow when he ran into academic trouble in school and he began asking God for help and bargaining with him. Ordained to the priesthood June 27 at Notre Dame Cathedral in Ottawa, Chojna (pronounced Hoy-nah) spent the first 10 years of his life in Poland before his family moved to Toronto. The Chojnas were faithful Catholics who attended church regularly and did not question the Church's role "as a vessel through which God teaches his people," he said.
Doctors who refuse to prescribe birth control pills have become the focus of a debate over physicians' rights to freedom of conscience when practising medicine. An Alberta doctor has been in the media spotlight recently for posting a notice at the clinic where she works that she will not prescribe the pill and now faces a human rights complaint. Earlier this year, three Ottawa doctors came under fire for similar reasons. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) is doing a public consultation on its guidelines that could be revamped to restrict doctors' rights to abstain from legal medical practices on religious or conscientious grounds.
EDMONTON – With temperatures hitting a blazing 30c , the hot sun may be welcomed by sun bathers and children alike. But for the homeless people there is no respite from its tortuous heat. Sunstoke is a cruel reality for those who cannot find shade. Many end up in city emergency wards.
Giovani Melendez, 31, fled San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador, with his family, setting out suddenly on a search for safety in the United States after gangs demanded growing extortion payments he was unable afford. The family – Melendez, his wife, and children, ages five and 12 – only made it to the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, where officials stopped them and sent them back to El Salvador.
The Catholic Near East Welfare Association (CNEWA) has put out an urgent plea to help Iraqi Christians targeted in a "brutal civil war." "Everybody's affected, but Christians in particular because as a minority they are more vulnerable," said CNEWA Canada general secretary Carl Hutu in an interview from Jerusalem. Hutu attended the annual gathering in Rome June 23-26 of agencies working with the Eastern Church that was organized by the Congregation of Eastern Churches.
QUEBEC CITY – More than 100,000 pilgrims have already passed through the holy door in Quebec's Cathedral of Notre Dame and another 200,000 are expected before year end. The holy door was constructed to mark the 350th anniversary of the founding of the first Catholic parish in North America's first Catholic diocese. It is one of only seven in the world. The Church in North America was launched from the Quebec Diocese, said Msgr. Denis Belanger, cathedral rector.
