Former Lancers Contribute To Small College Women's Basketball National Title
Women's basketball alumni Tamiko Rounds and Morgan Bennett, members of Pasadena City College's 34-win team in 2006-2007, have gone on to help their new college to ultimate success. Now seniors, the pair led Talladega College of Alabama in winning the small college national championship March 6.
Talladega captured the USCAA championship by defeating Rochester College (Michigan), 48-36, in the title game played at Uniontown, Pennsylvania. Rounds was named the MVP of the USCAA tournament after scoring a game-high 16 points and and grabbing 8 rebounds in the championship contest. Bennett was a force in the game as well with 18 rebounds to go with 4 points, 5 assists and 3 steals.
Rounds and Bennett were two-year lettermen at PCC, playing in the 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 seasons. The '06-07 set school records for most victories in a season and longest winning streak (28 games). The pair were selected All-South Coast Conference North Division First Team as sophomores.
Bennett won a conference player of the week award at Talladega prior to the national playoffs. Ironically, Talladega head coach Romeo Lagmay Jr. once attended PCC back in the 1990s before transferring to play at Feather River College. Both Bennett and Rounds were named to the All-American team and Rounds, a 4.0 student, was picked Academic All-American.
PCC Head Joe Peron was excited for his former players, knowing his current team has advanced to the CCCAA Championship Tournament.
"Rounds and Bennett were good defenders when they played for us," Peron said. "That was their strength here. To have them go from our winning program and then achieve a national championship at the NAIA level is quite a feat. I think they took our winning approach to Talladega. This is what you hope for as a coach. Those players that have gone on to success at the next level makes it especially gratifying to have coached them in their first college years."

Johnny Depp, Tom Hardy to share screen in "Black Mass" crime drama
February 11, 2014 - 13:17 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Johnny Depp may portray Whitey Bulger after all. The John Dillinger of "Public Enemies", who was attached to "Black Mass" in February last year but dropped out later in May, is now reportedly back on board the project to play the Boston crime kingpin-turned-fugitive, AceSHowbiz reported.
Depp was originally expected to take the lead role in the crime thriller when Barry Levinson was attached to direct. He later exited the project reportedly due to money issue as report said he was asked to reduce his usual $20 million salary to "somewhere around $15 million."
Tom Cruise was then linked to the project to replace Depp. However, talks with Depp rekindled last month as "Crazy Heart" helmer Scott Cooper is now set to take the directing duty.
Depp may share screen with Tom Hardy, who has just emerged as a potential actor to play FBI agen John Connolly, who happens to be Bulger's childhood friend. Connolly himself ends up in prison for tipping Bulger that he was about to be indicted. Joel Edgerton was intially tapped to play Connolly.
Mark Mallouk adapted Dick Lehr and Gerald O'Neill's best-selling book "Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob" into the screenplay for the movie. Brian Oliver, Tyler Thompson, John Lesher and Christi Dembrowski will produce the movie, which eyes a May start date.
Top stories
The film will add to awareness as it looks at eyewitness testimonies recorded in the 1980s to help understand the severity of the tragedy.
Already included in the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity are the Duduk, Armenian khachkar, lavash,"David of Sassoun."
She joins an impressive group of fashion moguls on the list that includes Spanx founder Sara Blakely and bridal tycoon Vera Wang.
It's only the second movie of 2016 to cross the 10-figure threshold, the other being fellow Disney title "Captain America: Civil War."

Stella McCartney Adds OBE To Her List Of Achievements
Congratulations to Stella McCartney, who received her OBE from the Queen yesterday. In footage of the momentous event, the designer looked tearful, in a sharp navy two-piece suit (her own label, of course). And we felt a little emotional alongside her.
After all, this is the culmination of long string of successes for the designer, whose Olympic uniform for the GB team cemented her status as British fashion legend. All that on top of her impressive campaign to produce cruelty-free wares — and make them feel chicly on trend like no other. Oh, plus she makes pretty cute Easter decorations, too. An all-round good egg, we say! (Vogue)

According to BarkPost, her mother Amanda Simmons found Edith as an 8-week-old puppy while the family lived in Minnesota. She was prompted by doctor's recommendation to find a companion animal for Ahmeah. Edith's scar and curly tail separated her from the rest. She was the one for Ahmeah.
"Ahmeah said she's different like her, and this is the one she wanted, and we got her," Simmons said. "We rescued her and she rescued us in return. She became my child, too."
When the family moved to Jacksonville in 2015, they didn't know breed-specific legislation (BSL) in the town had banned all Pit Bulls from city limits. There was no BSL in Minnesota. Edith, being a Pit Bull, however, was quickly seized by animal control. Simmons paid a $260 fine to get Edith back, but the dog was taken away a second time after a neighbor called authorities.
Ahmeah, devastated, cried herself to sleep most nights, missing Edith.
"She loves me," Ahmeah told ABC 7. "And she didn't do anything wrong."
Ahmeah's mother said the pair were best friends. Ahmeah would dress Edith up, put bows in her ears, paint her toes, and sleep beside her every day.
"I just really miss her and love her and, without her, I'm just lonely. I have nobody to talk to and nobody to hang out with," Ahmeah told WREG News Channel 3.
Simmons pleaded with the City of Jacksonville to no avail. She eventually hired a lawyer, but still faced unexpected delays and frustration as city officials not only kept Edith's whereabouts from the family, but at one time attempted changing the ownership on her microchip. It wasn't until after a petition was started, now well on its way to 240,000 signatures, and Simmons began the moving process that the city's attorney, Robert Bamburg, recanted and offered a deal.
Along with Edith, the Simmons family returned to Minnesota. And with the help of a friend at Lilly the Hero Pit Bull, are looking for a home where they can live together safely.
Breed-specific legislation has been giving dogs and dog owners grief in other parts of North America, too. Follow this link to read about the Pit Bull bans that are going into effect in Canada, and how people are reacting to them.]]>

My dad lives in downtown Vancouver and he owns one of "those" dogs. You know, the kind you fear passing as a dog owner. The kind that looks like it's about to snap at any moment and lunge out to try to bite your dog.
For our stories sake, it could be any number of breeds, all of whom have a bad rep, but just to make matters worse, she IS a pitbull… not just "kind of looks like a pitbull" and gets lumped in with them, is one.
Her name is Isla and she's a rescue.
Now, there's a million stories out there where pitbull are lovely, warm, affectionate pets who get along well with other dogs. This isn't one of them. Isla hates dogs. And being that she's a rescue, it's impossible to know exactly where that came from.
It's a good thing my dad's stubborn.
He's gone above and beyond to rehabilitate her: he takes her to training twice a week, dog therapy, swimming therapy. He works hard, harder than most dog owners at putting measures in place to make sure she stays safe. That other dogs are safe FROM her.
She's NEVER off leash, she's always under control and he's learned countless ways to shift negative behaviors and refocus her when she's walked to avoid conflict.
And just so you don't think we're completely biased, we haven't always been supportive of his bizarre decision to get a high maintenance dog at 55. We (his children) owned 6 dogs between us that all played well in a group without a lot of supervision, so the addition of this wildcard wasn't a popular choice. She STILL can't be around a lot of those dogs, which creates all sorts of challenging situations at family functions.
BUT, here's the thing… meet this dog for 5 minutes and you know she really does deserve another chance, a real chance, a – pardon the pun – fighting chance.
And that's what he's fought to give her.
And then there's you.
Cesar Milan.
I get that you're really proud of the fact that you got your dog as a puppy, trained it to "sit", maybe even "stay", and (loosely) "come" and now you feel like the dog whisperer reincarnate. You must consider yourself quite the success given ALL the obstacles you've had to overcome. And oh, what an animal lover.
But I just don't GET you. I really don't. If you really loved animals, your animal, the way you claim to by training them to "sort of" heel, you'd respect it enough to have it on leash. You'd respect my dad's dog enough to not put it in a situation where IT might hurt your dog and be put to sleep.
Now, I'm not talking about dog-designated beaches, or off leash dog parks, my dad wouldn't DREAM of taking Isla there (that's ALL your domain), I'm talking about the downtown core, where tight sidewalks already demand a certain amount of respect for pedestrians and other dogs alike.
But, not you. There YOU are weaving your way through busy sidewalks with your dog several meters ahead of you, completely free to do as it will.
And to add insult to injury, when it approaches my dad and Isla and he asks you to get your dog under control, you try to justify your position and then pick a fight with him.
MY DAD?! The only person who is actually concerned about your dogs safety at the moment?
YOU and the so many people LIKE you are the reason that dogs get put to sleep. And you're not in short supply.
"Mine's friendly."
That comment, the absolution and stupidity of it makes me want to slap people. I own three dogs who DO like other dogs, and when someone yells that at me while their dog charges at mine who are on leash, I seriously question whether they should own pets.
Con-grat-u-f$&#-ing-lations. You sort of respect animals…
…just not enough to respect the fact that not all had great upbringings and socialization and that you're putting both yours and theirs at risk by wanting to prove what a hero you are.
"Why is it my fault that you can't control your dog?!"
So what you're saying is that all dogs that show any kind of adverse behavior should be rounded up and put to sleep?! They shouldn't be allowed to walk down a street or path, where the rules are that dogs be ON leash without having you break the rules and claim it's their fault?!
I can't believe that all the dog lovers out there actually think that way, especially when they plaster their Facebook with all the sad cases of the dogs the want your help to find homes for.
My dad TOOK one of those dogs. And he fights for her daily.
So I'll just say this…
I'll never meet you Cesar, but to all the people LIKE you, who go home with tales of the obnoxious dogs that tried to hurt their babies who were "off leash minding their own business," you are NOT the good guys.
And to all the people like my dad, who are just trying to give dogs like Isla a second chance…
I know it's a struggle, but it's worth it.
(This goes without saying, but the reverse of this scenario is also true. Aggressive dogs should ALWAYS be leashed.)
Thanks, Huskies in the Hatch! We wish you the best in all your future travels!]]>
Hill's Pet Nutrition has announced an expansion of its May cat food recall, now to include an additional product due to high levels of iron.
Though essential to cats' diets, excess iron can cause serious digestive upset, potentially leading to dangerous diarrhea and vomiting.
The initial recall was undertaken after high amounts of iron were discovered in six Hill's "Science Plan" products. The increase in iron was believed to be an ingredient supplier error.
This product was available for sale in the United Kingdom and Ireland as early as May 2016.
If your cat has consumed the affected product, keep an eye out for the following symptoms of excess iron:
If you have purchased a bag of Hill's Science Plan Feline Healthy Ageing, call the company's consumer helpline at 0800-282-438 to inquire about a replacement or a refund. If your bag has been opened, dispose of the food as soon as possible, ensuring your pet won't find it.]]>
Do you have a protective brother or sister like Maymo?
Tragically, Khalessi passed away this morning. Paquin posted to Khalessi's Facebook page detailing the goodbye.
Khalessi's saviors were able to get her help to repair her jaw and nose to the point she could breath and eat. Miraculously, she was smiling and loving like nothing had ever happened. However, she was diagnosed with babesia, a kidney condition that is common among dogs that have been used in dog fighting. Sadly, there was very little her family could do, and after a time working with aggressive treatment, including the consideration of a kidney transplant to extend her life, they decided to make Khaleesi's last weeks the most comfortable and enjoyable of her tragically short life.
While Khalessi may be gone, the impact she made will live on. Not only did she become the poster pup for animal abuse, she was even awarded "Underdog of the Year" at the 2016 World Dog Awards. Her unforgettable and infectious smile will live on in the hearts of everyone that knew her, and she will continue to be a symbol of hope for all dogs in need.
Cats in opposition to Brexit have been showing their solidarity with the EU through social media, championing the hashtag #catsagainstbrexit. Many have taken to Twitter, as felines do, some mildly annoyed, some with claw to caps lock, but all with good reason. These cats may fear a departure from their standard of living more than from the EU, but they've made their points and are hoping their humans take the advice.
At the root of the problem for many felines is the dichotomy of this new term, "Brexit." As a portmanteau of the words "British" and "exit," it's disappointingly obtuse, even for a country that describes half its food as "pudding." What isn't lost in translation on some of Her Majesty's more hard scrabble Tabbies is frowned upon by the aristocratic British Shorthairs. One Maine Coon even questioned, if humans are allowed to truncate perfectly good phrasing in an effort to create a clever catchphrase for an issue with global consequences, who will truly be the lazier species?

Predictions of the effect Brexit will have on the imports and exports of England are cloudy at best, but the uncertainty has whipped some cats up into a stir. Like their ancestors did generations before, hoarding tinned kippers and finding solace from the air sirens as Nazi bombs rained down, today's British cats aren't going to let misguided humans take away what really matters.

Some humans believe the Brexit has racial motivation behind it, and is nothing more than ultranationalist immigration reform veiled as an economic hedge. Others have said the final outcome will have little effect at all on the UK. There are even those who have linked the entire situation to the Bilderberg conspiracy and an enclave of Abyssinians. No matter how you do the math, the June 23 vote will have an effect on many.

During his journey, he met another horse named Max who he grew very close with. The two of them were headed to a high-kill auction in New Holland, when Cindy Daigre, founder of Ferrell Hollow Farm Senior Horse Sanctuary in Tennessee, rescued them.
Daigre saw the two horses on a website where the horses were being brokered out. She saw how emaciated and in such bad shape these horses were, that she knew she had to do something to save them.
"I was told that Arthur was purposely starved while waiting to go to the next auction and the man that had him often sold thin old horses to the 'cat man' with exotic cats for meat," Daigre told The Dodo. "I was horrified." So thankfully, with the help from others, Daigre was able to hire a transporter and get both of the horses to her sanctuary.
Even though the horses were now safe, Daigre knew they would have a long journey to recovery. Arthur was so skinny and weak that he couldn't even stand up on his own. He was exhausted and would just lie on the ground with no appetite for food or fun.
Eventually, Arthur settled into the sanctuary and began to eat. He began to grow stronger every single day. But recovery wouldn't be as easy for his best friend Max.
"Max has a back injury with neurological issues as well as feet issues," Daigre said. He also has scars all over his body from past abuse. "He was physically abused and was so full of fear upon arrival and had no use for people. He was actually dangerous to work with."
Although working with these horses was a challenge, it wasn't one that Daigre ever gave up on. Within a year of the rescue, she had started to see drastic improvements with Max. Now, two years since their rescue, both horses are extremely healthy, strong and so sweet.
Arthur also now has a long, beautiful mane which they braid in the summer to keep him cool. Both Arthur and Max are still the best of friends and love spending time together. "They have a friendship formed through tragedy and then compassion," Daigre said.
You can keep up with Arthur and Max's journey on the sanctuary's Facebook page.

This image goes against our beliefs and our values," the Olympic organizing committee released in a statement. "We guarantee that there will be no more such incidents at Rio 2016."
Juma's participation in the event was against local law, according to Ipaam, the wildlife and environmental authority in Amazonas state government. The incident is now under official investigation.

Endotoxins must be detected and eliminated from DNA and protein preparations to avoid unwanted responses in both in vivo and in vitro assays. The FLUOstar microplate readers from BMG LABTECH offer an easy platform to measure Lonza's LAL colorimetric endotoxin kit over time. With the help of MARS data analysis software, the endotoxin amount (EU/ml) in unknown samples is easily calculated from standard curves.

Those plain, usually dirty, black conveyor belts at the grocery store are now up for grabs as ad space. " 'Conveyor belts have never been on anybody's radar screen for marketing,' said Frank Cox, president-CEO of EnVision Marketing Group, a Little Rock, Ark., firm with a patented system to print digital, photo-quality ads directly on conveyor belts. 'But a store with eight to 10 checkout lanes, well, you're talking about 100 square feet of wasted ad real estate.' " (Advertising Age) Kroger Stores are the first national retailer to test a few dozen of the ads in their stores, but Harps Food Stores are also testing the ads. The first marketers are local companies including real-estate agents and insurance brokers, but none of the big national brands as of yet. (GUSH Magazine)

" …the most common questions I have received are always regarding anal sex. It's unfortunate that there is not more literature on the subject as anal is at least one of the more "talked about" sexual acts. Even the shop where I worked could only find one decent book on the subject.
Anal–for those who do it and do it correctly–can be a wonderful addition to a healthy sex life. The anal cavity has a very high concentration of nerve endings, much higher than the first two inches of the vaginal opening, and has been recruiting devotees for centuries. "
Those college newspapers seem to love the topic of anal sex…

Brookfield Central beat Brookfield East, 2-0, Tuesday night at East and Lancer seniors Sarah Fotsch and Sierra High and coach Jason Burdge had a special reason to be happy.
That's because that was the first time Fotsch, Sierra and the rest of the seniors had beaten East in their four years. For Burdge, it goes back further. It was the first time he beat the Spartans since he took over as coach six years ago.
"We've been waiting four years to beat East. I just love this win," Fotsch said.
Burdge pointed out that the year Central went to state they beat East in a shootout, but that technically a tie.
"For me it's my first official win. It feels like a big weight off my shoulders," he said. "Every year its our main goal - beat East. I'm like (former Chicago Bears coach) Lovey Smith, every year you got you've got to beat the Packers."
Central got on the scoreboard when High hit the ball from the left corner across the front of the net, where Fotsch took off, leaped and hit in into the left side of the goal for a 1-0 lead at the 34:36 mark.
"I saw her coming back out and I turned around and I was able to knock it back in," said Fotsch who has four header goals this year. "It was perfect, I couldn't ask for more. I just had that feeling it was going in."
High talked about her end of the play.
"I had a corner and it came back out. I got it back and had a couple touches on the ball and got it back in and I somehow found Fotsch's head."
When asked about her team-leading assist total, High said "I feel it's just as big a part as the goal."
High was at it again when she placed a corner kick in front of the net from the right side at 68:53 and junior Josie Nording headed into the goal.
"We defended well," Burdge said. "I don't think we had any scary chances."
Burdge felt scoring first was huge for his team.
"The goal energizes you as a player," he said. "You feel confident, on top of the world. You could tell. Then they were on their heels we were on the attack."
Spartan coach summed up his feelings quickly afterwards.
"Overall I didn't think we defended well. We were unable to match their physicality. We didn't do a good job of defending their set pieces - obviously, that's how they got their two goals.
"They capaitalized and we didn't Two, three balls played into space isn't going to do it."
Central is now 2-1-1 in the Greater Metro and 8-1-2 overall. East is 5-4 and 3-1 in the GMC.

FEMA approves private property debris removal
Aid available in St. Charles
April 26, 2006 at 11:11 am | Mobile Reader | Print
The help is available through a special Private Property Debris Removal Program that FEMA has begun in St. Charles Parish to aid homeowners in removing debris generated by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita that is posing an immediate threat to public health and safety.
The program is being facilitated by the parish and funded for a limited time by FEMA. There is no cost for the removal to homeowners with eligible debris who sign up by the May 31deadline.
Examples of debris on private property generally considered eligible under this program include: uprooted stumps, trees that are uprooted, split to the heartwood or have lost more than 50 percent of their canopies, and broken branches that create an immediate threat to public safety and improved property.
Homeowners wanting to participate in the PPDR program first must submit a completed right-of-entry form to the parish that grants permission for entities such as FEMA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and/or its subcontractors and the parish to be on a resident's private property to evaluate and/or to remove the hurricane debris.
Homeowner participation in the program is voluntary. Signing a right-of-entry form does not transfer title or deed of the property to another party but is required for the evaluation and possible debris removal to take place.
Submitting a right-of-entry does not automatically make you eligible for the program. Your property will be surveyed to determine what debris can be removed under the FEMA program guidelines.
Right-of-entry forms can be obtained at the St. Charles Parish Department of Public Works, 403 Milling Ave., Luling, LA 70070 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday.
Once the right-of-entry form is completed and submitted to the parish, a site assessment will be done by FEMA to determine what, if any, hurricane debris is eligible for removal. Work crews will then follow up at a later time to actually remove the debris.
Residents are advised that while precautions will be taken to use care during the debris-removal process, some property damage may occur and that signing the right-of-entry form holds the government and its agents harmless from responsibility for that damage.
For more information on right-of-entry forms or the private property debris removal program, please call the St. Charles Parish Public Works Department at 985-783-5102.

text: Modern Machine Shop: Turn/Mill & Multitasking Machines Turn/Mill Machines are machines that are capable of both rotating-workpiece operations (turning) and rotating-tool operations (namely milling and drilling). Generally these machines are based on lathes. The machine is typically recognizable as a horizontal or vertical lathe, with spindles for milling and drilling simply available at some or all of the tool positions. With a machine such as this, a part requiring a variety of operations can be machined in one setup, particularly if a subspindle allows the part to be passed from one spindle to another during machining. More recently introduced turn/mill machines depart from the lathe design into something much more like a hybrid machine—combining a lathe's chucks and spindles with the travels and milling power of a machining center. One of the most significant issues with these types of machines in general is figuring out just which parts to run on them. Many shops have discovered that, even though these machines developed from lathes, they are not necessarily limited to round parts. Various non-round parts can be machined on the same platform as efficiently, if not more efficiently, than on a machining center. uuid:9b05af6d-3541-488b-bc06-cfa7077f8aa5;id=9416Copyright © Gardner Business Media, Inc. 20162016-06-29T16:21:59Zhttp://www.mmsonline.com/products/turn-mill-center-supports-automation-integrationTurn-Mill Center Supports Automation IntegrationEmco Maier's Hyperturn 45 turn-mill center is designed for applications in automotive and general engineering. 2016-06-24T14:59:00-04:002016-06-29T16:21:59Zhttp://www.mmsonline.com/products/five-axis-vertical-turn-mill-accommodates-large-partsFive-Axis Vertical Turn-Mill Accommodates Large PartsThe You Ji VMT-800 turn-mill, available from Absolute Machine Tools, is a multitasking machine designed for oil, gas and aerospace manufacturing applications. 2016-06-17T14:49:00-04:002016-06-29T16:21:59Zhttp://www.mmsonline.com/products/multi-function-machine-features-cryogenic-coolingMulti-Function Machine Features Cryogenic CoolingMazak's Variaxis i-800T is a multi-function machine that features full five-axis milling and turning capabilities along with integrated liquid nitrogen cryogenics technology. 2016-06-15T13:29:00-04:002016-06-29T16:21:59Zhttp://www.mmsonline.com/products/multitasking-turning-centers-enable-heavy-duty-machiningMultitasking Turning Centers Enable Heavy-Duty MachiningMethods Machine Tool introduces the Nakamura-Tome NTRX-300 multitasking turning center. 2016-06-13T14:12:00-04:002016-06-29T16:21:59Zhttp://www.mmsonline.com/products/multitasking-turning-centers-enable-heavy-duty-machining(3)Multitasking Turning Centers Enable Heavy-Duty MachiningMethods Machine Tool introduces the Nakamura-Tome NTRX-300 multitasking turning center. 2016-06-13T14:12:00-04:002016-06-29T16:21:59Zhttp://www.mmsonline.com/products/turn-mill-enables-screw-machining-completeTurn-Mill Enables Screw Machining CompleteWeingärtner's Pick Up 400 turning and milling center is designed for the manufacture of complex screw geometries such as extrusion and feed screws. 2016-05-30T15:01:00-04:002016-06-29T16:21:59Zhttp://www.mmsonline.com/articles/multitasking-offers-medical-benefitsMultitasking Offers Medical BenefitsThis shop uses a bar-fed turn-mill with a B-axis milling spindle and custom workholding strategies to more competitively machine components complete for low-margin medical devices.2016-05-01T14:35:00-04:002016-06-29T16:21:59Zhttp://www.mmsonline.com/articles/millennial-multitasking-made-easyMillennial Multitasking Made EasyCNC control software is being designed with features to better fit the tendencies of younger operators.2016-04-27T09:11:00-04:002016-06-29T16:21:59Zhttp://www.mmsonline.com/blog/post/spotlight-on-vertical-multitasking-turning-centersSpotlight on Vertical, Multitasking Turning CentersThis month's product curation emphasizes vertical turning centers and multitasking machines capable of turning and other processes. 2016-04-19T05:00:00-04:002016-06-29T16:21:59Zhttp://www.mmsonline.com/articles/multitasking-is-more-than-doing-two-things-at-onceMultitasking is More Than Doing Two Things at OnceCombining different metalcutting operations on a single machine platform is helping shops explore better ways to manufacture. 2016-04-15T10:21:00-04:002016-06-29T16:21:59Z

SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/27/13 -- SiSense, the Big Data Analytics Company, won the Audience Choice Award last night at the O'Reilly Strata conference "Startup Showcase" with its record-breaking ability to analyze billions of rows of data in a flash. The company will continue to showcase this record for the rest of the week at Strata (booth P3).
CTO Eldad Farkash demonstrated the power of SiSense Prism by analyzing 10TB of data in 10 seconds installed on a single node on a standard Dell Server, breaking the barriers of traditional in-memory analytics.
"We are thrilled to win the audience choice award," said Farkash. "Our goal is to level the playing field so that businesses of all sizes can access analytics on a massive scale. SiSense's Prism solution can do on one node what others require an expensive clusters of 20 servers."
"The majority of businesses use 1-30 TB of data and now, for the first time, they can work with data at scale, without having to worry about out-of-memory issues or complex integration limitations," says Amit Bendov, SiSense CEO. "Our software combines everything businesses of all sizes need to succeed in one package -- from the database to beautiful visualizations on the web. With this new record, we are proving that Big Data Analytics is not just reserved for companies with large budgets."
The secret behind SiSense simplicity and performance is its Elasticube, a high-performance analytical database which leverages the latest innovation in hardware to maximize machine RAM, CPU, and Disk use. SiSense Prism's columnar data structure and compression algorithms provide great storage improvements. Its compiler runs inside the CPU and inside the machine control unit, and decides in real-time how to best execute queries -- either in RAM, Disk, or both. SiSense uses "vectorization," a process that refers to a machine's ability to apply the same operation to multiple pieces of data simultaneously, resulting in 10X performance gains.
Companies from 48 countries around the globe -- from global brands like Merck, ESPN, and NASA to hot startups like Uber and Wix -- leverage SiSense technology to interpret mass quantities of data from variable data sets and multiple sources. SiSense Prism can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud.
SiSense Prism provides everything a business needs to succeed with Big Data Analytics:
- Ability to analyze 100x more data than RAM based in-memory solutions
- Can store and query tens of billions of rows of data
- Runs on commodity, "off-the-shelf" hardware
- Provides automatic extraction ("ETL") from all major databases including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Intuit QuickBase, and applications like Salesforce.com, Google Adwords, Google Analytics, Google Spreadsheets, Zendesk and Intuit QuickBooks, and data from Hadoop/Hive
- Comes with Out-of-The-Box Web based visualizations based on HTML 5 and JavaScript
At fully functional trial version of SiSense Prism can be downloaded for free at http://www.sisense.com/prism-free-trial
About SiSense

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Some of his evidence is suspect; for example, his near-singular source of information on the Original Dixieland Jazz Band is Harold Brunn's The Story of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band (New York: Da Capo Press, 1960), the veracity of which has been much questioned by later scholars.
36) Combined with the fluid nature of race relations in the Crescent city, even under the restraints of post-Plessy America, musicians like Sidney Bechet and Joe Oliver honed what came to be the Jazz sound and helped influence other musicians, regardless of race, like the Original Dixieland Jazz Band.
Backed up by Jimmy LaRocca's Original Dixieland Jazz Band, New Orleans singer, songwriter, and children's musician Johnette Downing has recorded nineteen original songs that set snappy, kid-friendly lyrics to the upbeat, polycultural tunes that reflect and resound with the unique and unmistakable rhythms of jazz played superbly in the Dixieland style.
The second section presents case studies of In Dahomey, black banjo bands, visits made by American groups such as the Original Dixieland Jazz Band and the Southern Syncopated Orchestra, hot jazz, and performances at the Savoy Hotel and by Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington.
Among the artists featured are the Original Dixieland Jazz Band performing "Livery Stable Blues" (the first recording of a jazz band in New York); the lesbian "empress of the blues," Bessie Smith, with her tidal-wave sound; sassy Cotton Club mama Ethel Waters; and gay iconoclastic, keyboard man Cecil Taylor as well as Sarah Vaughan, Billie, Ella, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and far too many more to mention.
Friday-Sunday, groups such as the Dukes of Dixieland, Connie Jones & the Crescent City Jazz Band, Lars Edegran & the New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra, and Jimmy Larocca's Original Dixieland Jazz Band will perform on four outdoor Bourbon Street stages.
This distinction belongs to Livery Stable Blues, recorded by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band in February 1917.

Though many regard Melendez as an especially significant opponent
due to the bout's champion-versus-champion dynamic, Henderson
remains unconcerned with such recognition. Instead, the 29-year-old
is solely motivated by the prospect of earning another victory.
"You guys know me. I don't care at all about belts and all that. I
will take the belt and everything, but going into any fight -- I
don't care if it's your first fight for the UFC, your first fight
on the main card or your first fight in a main event -- it doesn't
matter. You just have to win," Henderson recently said during a
media conference call. "I can't emphasize that enough. It doesn't
matter whether belts are on the line or it's a 'win or go home;
loser leaves the UFC' [situation]. All of that is just extra stuff
to sell fights. I don't care. I'm going to go out there and win
every single fight."
To that end, Henderson avoids the pressure inherent in trying to
prove oneself worthy of holding the UFC title. For "Smooth," every
fight is weighted equally, and losing is simply not an acceptable
"I'm not too worried about proving this or that. I just want to go
out there and win every fight. It doesn't matter," said Henderson.
"There are always going to be new and different stipulations or new
and different reasons to win. I don't really need any ulterior
motives. I'm a highly self-motivated person. I go out there to win
every single fight. I don't care who the guy is or what the extra
stuff on top of it is. I just want to go win, period."
Regardless of any championship hype, Henderson must still contend
with Melendez's considerable abilities. While some have pined for a
potential clash with featherweight champion Jose Aldo if
and when "Scarface" decides to move up in weight, Henderson said he
is in no way distracted from the task at hand.
"I'm definitely not looking past Gilbert," said Henderson. "I know
how tough Gilbert is, and I know he is the Strikeforce champ and
has been in the top two or three for a long time for a reason. I'm
not looking past him at all. Not even close."

Title: Problems with non-native African violets in Des Moines
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:My violets have stopped blooming after years and have developed a growth in the middle of the plant. Can I save these plants and how can I revive them. Thank you, I am desperate to salvage them as they are gifts.
There are 27 violets, members of the Viola genus, native to Iowa. However, they are all summer-blooming plants. We just checked your weather, it is 5 deg. there, with heavy snow on the ground. Any violets are peacefully sleeping under all that, waiting for Spring.
So, we are pretty sure you are referring to the African violet, not a true violet but Saintpaulia ionantha, which is a popular houseplant that grows and flowers under light conditions found in the average home or under artificial light.
At the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center we are all about plants that are native not only to North America but to the area in which they are being grown. One of the most heavily hybridized plants around, Saintpaulia ionantha originated in (where else?) Africa, specifically Tanzania. Both its nativity and the hybridization put those plants out of our realm of expertise. The University of Florida Extension has a website on the culture of African Violets that should give you some leads to the solution of your problem. Also, the African Violet Society has a Des Moines chapter. Your best bet is to find someone who has specific experience with these plants and has grown them over a period of time.

Co-director Sullivan's previous film, "No Intelligence Allowed" on
the Intelligent Design movement, to which Rea alludes, was thoroughly fisked by
the scientific community after its release and came up sorely lacking in the
scientific substance department. There are allegations by the participants
(such as biologist PZ Myers) that interviews were obtained under false
pretenses. It doesn't look like the current film adheres to any higher
standards. Kudos to the DesNews for printing a critical review when a large
part of its readership is predisposed to accept the film at face value. It has
been causing hearts to twitter on local talk radio.
Sullivan and D'Souza are preaching to the choir, delivering red meat to the true believers who need no real evidence. These are undoubtedly many of the same people who dismissed "Farenheit 9/11" and "An Inconvenient Truth" as liberal propaganda. Viewers should be alert to the same persuasion techniques in this film. Just because it conforms to your worldview doesn't make it valid. Watch out for selective editing, remarks taken out of context, false dichotomies, false equivalencies, etc. Sullivan might just be a conservative Michael Moore. View with the same skepticism.
