Rated 5 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jillian2x2 Great chairs These are great chairs for the price. I am slightly annoyed that to get four I had to order them online and pay huge shipping fees. A ship to store option would be a good option for customers. They are well made and comfortable, even for my tall family. The color is deeper than pictured-more of a bright olive than the acid apple green pictured. Oveall a very good purchase. February 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Natasha I LOVE this chair! When I saw it online and on sale, I immediately decided that I want it, and not one, but two. However, the shipping surcharge was 25% of the chair price. World Market is so amazing, I have ordered the chairs to be shipped to my local store (they didn't have any in stock) and just a few days later got a call to pick the chairs up. I have to say, that the color matches the website picture almost exactly, it's a very nice warmish green, the fabric is velvety and feels awesome. The chair itself is amazingly comfortable, and even though it looks small, I feel awesome in it, and I am a curvy chick. It's just a wonderful product, very easy to assemble, not heavy at all. I am so happy to have two of the chairs! Absolutely recommend. July 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsM Very pretty chair, super comfy!! Received Via FedEx , I ordered Thursday afternoon and the chair was here on Monday morning!!Great chair even better in person, super easy to put together I didn't find it heavy at all and I am 5'2 and petite. Don't get me wrong though it is super sturdy and great quality. My husband said he doesn't wan to sit in it because it looks to nice but it is way to comfortable not to : ) !! I foresee it being my curl up with a good book chair. December 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by NMS37 A total steal I love this chair-- it's incredibly comfortable, well-made and different enough to be interesting; totally worth every penny. I had some trouble assembling it because the pieces are heavy-- you definitely need two people-- but it is a great chair. October 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nccaughneeto I LOVE this chair! I got my chair this morning via Fedex. The first thing I noticed was a big hole in the box! This chair was so well packed that there was absolutely no damage! Amazing! The chair came in two pieces, the seat and the back (with two legs attached). The front legs were in a separate box inside the seat along with tools and easy to follow instructions. PuttIng the chair together was a snap, everything was there and it all lined up nicely. The chair is described as "Apple Green" and based on the website picture it looked like a "Granny Smith Apple Green". Not true. It's more of an "Olive/Apple Green" color, not as bright, slightly darker. It's still a very beautiful color and adds a nice 'pop' of color in my living room! This chair is so nice, plush and comfie! It's lower to the ground, nice and wide and sturdy! I called customer service with a question about my order and was amazed at how nice, professional and helpful they were! I have been a loyal World Market customer for over 10 years and will continue to be! This company and their products have far exceeded my expectations and gained a loyal customer for life!!!!

July: National Ice Cream Month Ronald Reagan designated the third Sunday in July as National Ice Cream Day, which makes sense-facts show that July and August are the biggest months for ice cream consumption. By presidential recommendation, we are to celebrate this day with "appropriate ceremonies and activities", which I see as full permission to gorge yourself.
Fun facts on this favorite treat:
Did you know that...
9 % of all the milk produced by U.S. dairy farmers is used to produce ice cream. More ice cream is sold on Sunday than any other day of the week. The average number of licks to finish off a single scoop ice cream cone is about 50 licks. The first official account of ice cream in America was recorded in 1700 from a letter written by a guest of Maryland Governor William Bladen. In 1812, Dolley Madison served a magnificent strawberry ice cream creation at President Madison's second inaugural banquet at the White House.

Storage I/O Control
Dynamically Allocate I/O Capacity Across Multiple Hosts
VMware vSphere Storage I/O Control is used to provide I/O prioritization for virtual machines running on a group of VMware vSphere hosts that have access to a shared storage pool. It extends the familiar constructs of shares and limits, which exist for CPU and memory, to address storage utilization through a dynamic allocation of I/O capacity across a cluster of vSphere hosts. It increases administrator productivity by reducing active performance management.
Storage I/O Control can trigger device-latency monitoring that hosts observe when communicating with that datastore. When latency exceeds a set threshold, the feature engages to relieve congestion. Each virtual machine that accesses that datastore is then allocated I/O resources in proportion to their shares.
Align Storage Resources to Meet Your Business Needs
Use Storage I/O Control to configure rules and policies to specify the business priority of each virtual machine. When I/O congestion is detected, Storage I/O Control dynamically allocates the available I/O resources to virtual machines according to your rules, improving service levels for critical applications and allowing you to virtualize more workloads, including I/O-intensive applications.
- Set, view and monitor storage resource shares and limits.
- Set and enforce storage priorities (per virtual machine) across a group of vSphere hosts.
- Reduce your need for storage volumes dedicated to a single application, thereby increasing your infrastructure flexibility and agility.
Technical Details
Per-Host vs. Multi-Host Storage Allocation
Traditional CPU and memory shares address resources on a single VMware ESXi host. This means virtual machines are competing for limited memory and CPU resources contained within a single host. Shared storage resources in a vSphere infrastructure are different because vSphere must treat access to storage at a multi-host level, rather than on a per-host basis.
If the specified latency threshold has been reached (usually an average I/O latency of 30 ms) for the datastore, Storage I/O Control will resolve this imbalance by limiting the amount of I/O operations a host can issue for that datastore.
Resolving Storage Imbalances
Storage I/O Control operates as a "datastore-wide disk scheduler." Once Storage I/O Control has been enabled for a specific datastore, it will monitor that datastore, summing up the disk shares for each of the VMDK files on it. Storage I/O Control will then calculate the I/O slot entitlement per ESXi host based on the percentage of shares virtual machines running on that host have relative to the total shares for all hosts accessing that datastore.
If the specified latency threshold has been reached (usually an average I/O latency of 30 ms) for the datastore, Storage I/O Control will resolve this imbalance by limiting the amount of I/O operations a host can issue for that datastore.
Dynamic Latency Threshold Settings
The default latency threshold for Storage I/O Control is 30 milliseconds. Not all storage devices are equal, so this default is set at a mid-range value. There are devices that will hit their natural contention point earlier than others, for example, SSDs. For these, the user should decrease the threshold.
However, manually determining the correct latency can be difficult. This means latency thresholds need to be determined for each device. Rather than using a default or user selection for latency threshold, vSphere Storage I/O Control can automatically determine the best threshold for a datastore.
The latency threshold is set to the value determined by the I/O injector (a part of Storage I/O Control). When the I/O injector calculates the peak throughput, it then finds the 90 percent throughput value and measures the latency at that point to determine the threshold. vSphere administrators can change this set throughput value to another percent value or they can continue to input a millisecond value.
VmObservedLatency measures the time between receipt by VMkernel of the I/O from the virtual machine and receipt of the response from the datastore. Previously, latency was measured only after the I/O had left the ESXi host. VmObservedLatency also measures latency in the host and will be visible in the vSphere Client.

Seas At Risk
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Seas At Risk
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionUNCSD Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development Rio de Janiero, 4-6th June 2012 Seas At Risk Contribution to the Rio+20 Zero Draft Seas At Risk is a Brussels-based independent association of European environmental organisations working to protect the marine environment and restore it to health. It is concerned with the full range of marine environmental issues, but at present its resources are focussed on the promotion of climate-friendly low impact fisheries, reducing the climate impact of the shipping industry, marine litter, offshore oil & gas drilling, and a number of more general marine-related EU policy processes. Seas At Risk progresses its objectives by representing its members at international political and regulatory meetings of government and by raising awareness amongst decision makers of the importance of marine issues. In this role Seas At Risk is active in a number of international bodies including the UNFCCC, the International Maritime Organisation, the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission, and the major EU institutions. It hopes to participate in Rio+20. As an organisation with a focus on marine and oceans issues our contribution here will be restricted to these areas, although we see the perilous state of the oceans, and the failings in oceans governance as symptomatic and illustrative of the wider environmental and developmental problems that must be addressed at Rio+20. Stopping the Collapse of Oceanic Systems A theme for Rio+20 In the past, including at precious UNCSDs, oceans conservation has tended to play second fiddle to terrestrial environmental concerns. The threats posed to the oceans have always been serious, but other issues were perhaps seen as more pressing. This we believe is now changing, and Seas At Risk agrees with UNEP?s identification of the ?potential collapse of oceanic systems? as a key emerging issue for Rio+20. The ?perfect storm? of overfishing, habitat destruction, pollution and ocean acidification should on its own place oceans issues at the very top of the Rio+20 agenda, but add to this the significance of the green economy and governance issues to solving these problems and you have a substantial argument for making oceans a key overarching theme of the Rio+20 conference. Under this theme, Seas At Risk believes the following issues should be addressed at Rio+20. Overfishing & oceans governance The protein derived from fish, crustaceans and molluscs accounts for around 15% of the animal protein intake of the human population. Seafood is an essential major world-wide protein source, yet around 50% of fish stocks are fully depleted and another 25% are either overexploited or depleted. The further collapse of key fish stocks would have devastating effects not just on the environment but on the nutrition, development and economics of many countries around the world, including some of the most vulnerable. More generally, the biodiversity and productivity of the world?s oceans are diminishing at an increasing and alarming rate. Globally some 90% of large fish species, like sharks, tuna and swordfish, have disappeared in the last few decades. Once abundant species such as Atlantic cod and the common skate are now considered globally threatened. Many marine habitats, ranging from the species-rich rocky reefs of Europe and coral reefs of the tropics, to the fragile creatures and ecosystems found in the deep sea, have already been fundamentally altered by destructive fishing techniques and other anthropogenic activities. And international commitments to-date have resulted in only around 1.5% of the world?s oceans being nominally protected as ?Marine Protected Areas? and less than 0.5% having full protection as ?Marine Reserves?. Many observers believe that only by fully protecting a third of our oceans will marine biodiversity and fish stocks have a chance of recovery. The deep seas are a particular concern. Recognised as regions of extreme vulnerability to human impacts, the deep seas are subject to numerous harmful practices which threaten long-term sustainability. High seas bottom trawling in particular not only directly removes vulnerable longlived species from the deep sea, but also damages sensitive habitats such as deep sea coral. Without a healthy marine environment there cannot be healthy fish stocks and without healthy fish stocks the fisheries and the communities they support have no future. In respect of overfishing and oceans governance Seas At Risk would like to see a Rio+20 agreement that includes: 1. A global plan of action to ensure that all fisheries are exploited sustainably, and in compliance with and not exceeding scientific advice. 2. An agreement to upgrade oceans governance and start a negotiating process towards a new implementing agreement under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea for the protection and conservation of high seas biodiversity and the management of human activity in areas beyond national jurisdiction. This to include provisions on monitoring, the use of environmental assessment, and implementation of the precautionary principle and ecosystem-based approach in decision-making. 3. A global mechanism for the establishment of an extensive and representative system of Marine Protected Areas in the high seas including no-take zones. A target of full protection for at least 30% of the world?s seas and oceans should be set. Pollution and marine litter Seas At Risk and its members are concerned about all forms of marine pollution but believe that marine litter and plastic marine litter in particular poses a huge, growing and previously underestimated problem. Marine debris is a widespread pollution problem with plastics making up approximately threequarters of all litter floating in the ocean. During the 25th International Coastal Clean-up in 2010 some 615,407 volunteers from 114 countries picked up nearly 4,000 tonnes of litter. Over three quarters of this debris was plastic. Scientists estimate there to be 250 billion pieces floating in the Mediterranean Sea alone. Almost all North Sea fulmars, a bird that exclusively feeds in the marine environment, are found with plastics in their stomachs. Beaches in the North East Atlantic have on average 712 pieces of plastic per 100m, and plastic bags make up around 10% of all marine litter. Huge floating oceanic ?garbage patches? have been found in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The marine environment has become engulfed in plastics and they are of special environmental concern as they may never completely disappear from the environment, and could persist for many hundreds if not thousands of years. Larger items will eventually break down into small plastic particles and microscopic dust, which can be consumed by filter-feeding animals such as barnacles. Toxic pollutants can be attracted onto the surface of plastic pieces so may pose a previously unrecognised threat to marine animals once ingested. Ultimately these pollutants may then be passed up the food chain to fish and to human consumers. Items of fishing litter which are also composed of plastic are also of particular concern as these are the items most likely to entangle wildlife. Marine litter affects multiple areas of the marine environment across the globe and the underlying causes are multi-dimensional, multi-sectoral and multi-geographical. Although the problem has recently received some much needed publicity, action to solve it has been slow and so far ineffective. Both of the central themes of the Rio+20 conference ? governance and the green economy - have very clear links to tackling this serious problem. In respect of marine litter Seas At Risk would like to see a Rio+20 agreement that includes: 1. An international Action Plan and targets for tackling the rising tide of marine litter. This is necessary in itself and to compliment and encourage more bottom-up, national and regional strategies. Marine litter is an excellent example of the kind of pressing global marine issue that would benefit from enhanced international governance and stronger implementation, compliance and enforcement mechanisms. The United Nations Environment Programme upgraded to the status of a UN ?specialised agency? could perform this role. 2. An international commitment to use green economic instruments to favour and incentivise the use of long life, fully biodegradable and sustainably sourced goods and packaging. Such an initiative would fit well with the green economy agenda, and would protect our oceans from the flood of disposable and single use goods that are ending up in the marine environment. It would also benefit the terrestrial environment, and have far reaching positive resource, economic and social impacts. Ocean acidification & climate change Ocean acidification, caused when CO2 dissolves in seawater, has been called the ?evil twin? of climate change and while much less well known or understood, its implications for the marine environment are equally if not more profound and long-lasting. Corals are in the frontline of rising marine pH levels but the impact will reach far beyond the reefs to associated marine life and the social and economic activities that depend on them. Impacts on shell forming organisms are also already being felt and this holds the potential to undermine whole marine ecosystems. If key elements in a food web are removed as a result of the inability of organisms to build shells then the food web itself can collapse with unimaginable consequences for the world?s oceans and those that depend on them for their livelihood. The only way to tackle ocean acidification is to reduce CO2 emissions. All sectors have to play a part in this, but Seas At Risk believes that a special responsibility lies with the marine industries whose future is so intertwined with a healthy marine environment. In respect of ocean acidification and climate change Seas At Risk would like to see a Rio+20 agreement that includes: 1. A coordinated international push to raise awareness and understanding about the threat of ocean acidification. 2. As part of the push for a green economy, an international agreement to eliminate harmful Subsidies that have the effect of keeping marine fuel prices lower than they would otherwise be. At present these work against fuel efficiencies of the shipping sector and allow harmful and fuel-intensive fishing practices that would otherwise be uneconomic. 3. An international commitment to a package of measures to reduce CO2 emissions from the shipping sector including market-based measures, incentives for renewable technical developments, and speed limits. The latter is especially important as emissions are predicted to double or triple by 2050 and speed limits are the only option available that can result in fast deep cuts in emissions. 4. A commitment to cease the search for new marine oil & gas reserves, accepting that the CO2 emissions that will result are unsustainable and that drilling in deep and otherwise hazardous environments will always pose unacceptable Deep Water Horizon-style risks to the marine environment.

So, I go off to the Atheist Film Festival for the weekend and come back to find out the Thunderf00t scandal broke, David Barton was publicly exposed and disgraced, and Romney deliberately tanks his campaign by picking a social conservative as veep. Christo santo! I couldn't do anything about any of it until I got back. So here I am.
I was going to do a roundup of the Thunderf00t thing anyway (I was on the backchannel so I knew this was coming, I just didn't know it was going to drop this weekend), but Dana Hunter already did such an excellent job of it I'll just point you there: Thunderf00t's Potentially Illegal, Positively Immoral Crusade.
For those who have been debating the point, yes, what Phil Mason (aka Thunderf00t) did is called "hacking" (legally and culturally) and besides being grossly immoral (read the posts in Dana's roundup to see why), and essentially career-ending (IMO, no one who does such a thing can ever be trusted again by any future employer or colleague), also comes very close to violating many state and federal laws against gaining unauthorized access to a computer. Such statutes are filed not only under cybercrimes, but more specifically under wiretapping (listening in on private email conversations bears little relevant or legal difference to listening in on private telephone conversations, and many state laws recognize that obvious fact, as do federal laws).
Hacking private email can also grant a civil action for violation of right to privacy: the 4th amendment establishes that right against all intrusions, not just government ones (although as we all know, defending your rights in civil court can be more costly than it's worth even when you win, but they're still your rights, and they were still violated). For an act to be a cybercrime, you must use the hack to commit another crime, like extortion or sabotage, then it's a ticket to prison–but even then, stealing confidential information through any unauthorized access to a computer is often what makes that other crime a cybercrime specifically, not only under Federal law, but often state law as well. Meanwhile, under wiretapping statutes, almost all unauthorized accessing of private email is illegal (and this is where I think Mason might be risking prison time). Committing a crime across international borders makes jurisdiction a problem, among other things (e.g. there are many other factors, like cost to the taxpayer, that can result in actual crimes not being prosecuted, even though they are indeed crimes under the law), although morally we know that doesn't matter. Morally, Thunderf00t is a criminal, at least in the colloquial sense of someone who willfully and maliciously violates human rights, and in result can never be trusted by anyone again.
And then there's David Barton, who has long been the David Irving of the American Christian revisionism movement (those who argue that this has always been a Christian nation, founded by conservative Christians writing a Constitution based on the Bible, and praying thanks to Jesus and whatnot). Barton's bestselling book The Jefferson Lies was voted "the least credible history book in print" by the History News Network and exposed as bullshit on NPR, and our own Chris Rodda has been instrumental in fact-checking and exposing his distortion and misrepresentation of the facts (and even the fabricating of quotes).
Now even prominent fellows of the fundamentalist Discovery Institute have declared his book full of "embarrassing factual errors, suspiciously selective quotes, and highly misleading claims." Yes, you heard that right, even they are now spitting him out of their mouth. Many other conservative Christians have been piling on and confirming Barton a fraud, and have pretty much washed their hands of him. But the final blow was that his own publisher just declared his book essentially fraudulent and has pulled publication. That's Thomas Nelson, a major Christian publisher. Barton is still defending himself and has a few lackeys punting for him, but his ship has well sunk by this point. (You can read up on all this breaking news as reported by our own Ed Brayton, Al Stefanelli, and Mano Singham.)
All of which makes, for me, the far more publicly known event this weekend seem weak by comparison: Mitt Romney declared Paul Ryan his running mate for the November election. I was told this by someone sitting in front of me in the theater (while we waited for the next film to start), and for a moment I thought what they told me was that Romney had picked Ron Paul as his running mate, which I was about to praise as a brilliant move that could actually win him the election. But no, it was Paul Ryan. Which will essentially destroy his chances of winning–unless the Obama campaign makes some really stupid mistakes, or the con game of voter ID laws actually swings the swing states by disenfranchising millions of American citizens (as they are now set to do), either of which is still possible, so the outcome is not foregone. But be that as it may, what this choice of a radical white male social conservative has done is even further eliminate Romney's support from women, Latinos, and independents, and it's increasingly becoming the case that when they all walk, no one can win the White House.
On the other hand, this could and should turn the campaign into a real campaign at long last: instead of two candidates struggling to pretend they are centrists with no clear positions on anything (offending as few people as possible in order to win the independent vote, as one must to win at all), we have a real distinction between a progressive who will actually have to defend progressive policies openly and forcefully (health care, social security, human liberty, and just tax laws) and a conservative who will actually have to defend conservative policies openly and forcefully (supporting tax laws favoring the rich, maintaining and increasing restrictions on human liberty, and the eventual elimination of subsidized health care and social security).
It's just that, in actual fact, conservative policies are unpopular (a significant majority are actually against them), so they have to be "packaged" and "disguised" with rhetoric that conceals their actual consequences and significance. But Ryan has been so open and clear on his positions, the chance to package and disguise what he stands for is simply impossible. The Romney Campaign has swallowed the Kool-Aid. Now it's just a question of how many angry white men they can get out to vote for them and how many poor minority folk they can scare away from the polls by various new Jim-Crow devices (a tactic now well-mocked but nevertheless likely to work).
There are of course still non-differences (neither candidate is perfect, e.g. both are similar on the use of force abroad and the expansion of federal power), but the actual differences matter–most importantly of all, who gets in this November will pick the next Supreme Court justice, which will in one stroke decide the direction the U.S. goes for the next forty or fifty years: towards a conservative Catholic-controlled nation of laws suppressing citizen rights, backing corporations, tearing down the wall between church and state, and supporting every use of force abroad and every expansion of federal power (with a 5-4 voting majority of conservative Christians on the bench), or back from that brink, towards a more moderate and liberal-minded court that will actually stand up to Congress and future presidents and actually strike down laws and acts that violate American rights, indemnify corporations, Christianize our government, and gradually boil the frog of limited executive power.
This single factor, who picks the next Supreme Court Justice, is literally the single most important decision every voter will be making this November, whether they are aware of it or not. We had all better vote with that on our conscience.

|Women's Tennis Adds Slovakian Sensation
MOSCOW - The University of Idaho women's tennis team bolstered the roster for next season with the addition of Dominika Jasova.
Jasova, currently a high school senior in Kosice, Slovakia, is playing in ITF professional events in Europe after a successful junior career in which she was ranked as high as 1007 and defeated players in the top-400.
"Dominika is an excellent addition to our team," women's tennis head coach Tyler Neill said. "I think she will make an immediate impact in both singles and doubles her freshman year."
She is currently ranked 11th in the Slovakian rankings and she also won the East Slovakian Championships over the summer. In 2007, Jasova was ranked 136 for her age category in Europe.
"She has a lot of experience in high level junior and adult tournaments that should make her transition to college tennis relatively seamless," Neill said. "I'm looking forward to having her compete for us next year."

Sydney Pedersen
At just 15 years old, Sydney Pedersen has already made a difference across the world. Growing up, she made trips with her father and dentists and doctors to the Dominican Republic to work on hygiene projects. Lately, she's been working with Utah-based charity projects, and right now, she's working on her biggest project yet.
The Canyon View Junior High student is the Utah ambassador for the Live Below the Line campaign, a movement created by the Global Poverty Project to raise awareness of the 1.4 billion people living in extreme poverty by asking participants to try living on $1.50 for food for five days, from April 29 to May 3, and to donate the money they would otherwise spend to charity.
So far, Pedersen has helped recruit 47 high schools, seven Utah universities and many local businesses to support the effort. Money raised on her Live Below the Line webpage will go to Happy Hearts Fund, which rebuilds schools after natural disasters.
Pederson discovered the organization when she met its founder, model and TV host Petra Nemcova at a Global Poverty Project benefit concert. Nemcova was a victim of the tsunami that hit Thailand in 2004, and after seeing children from the disaster were left without schools, she started the fund. "I was just so inspired by her," Pedersen says.
Anyone can start their own Live Below the Line fundraising page at livebelowtheline.org/us.
We chatted with Pedersen about her fundraising efforts, and here's what she had to say:
Have you gotten any of your peers at school involved?
"Five of my really close friends are a huge part of this campaign, and we meet every Monday to plan for the week and set goals. I have also talked to all of my other friends, and I have gotten a lot of them to sign up on livebelowtheline.com, and we've done a ton of advertising. We also have shirts and posters we've been handing out."
Will you get any reward for your efforts?
"If we reach the goal of raising $100,000 I will get to go to Indonesia [in the village of Yogyakarta] and visit a Happy Hearts school and spend some time with the kids. The experience is mainly what I'll get from it." (The top three student fundraisers in grades 9–12 will get to join Pedersen on the trip.)
What's it like to know you're helping people?
"It's awesome. I have been involved in charity work for a long time. My parents have been great about introducing it into my life. Ever since I was little I loved it, and It's such a good feeling to know through this campaign I can help not just a few kids but a ton of kids, because the school will be there for years."
Have you run into any challenges promoting this campaign?
"I have a lot of extracurricular activities, and it's been hard trying to find a balance with getting homework done, getting to my activities and trying to head up this campaign. Sometimes things overlap, but so far it's been pretty good and I've been able to manage it."
Do you plan on doing this type of work as an adult?
"Definitely, I want to pursue business and charity work. I would love to keep working with children and building schools. I think that's what I'm most interested in."

Photo of Little Jackie at SXSW BMI Showcase © Randall Michelson
By Mawuse Ziegbe
Hey boys and girls, today's theme is friendship. Last week I was able to support some chums as they made their dreams come true – all while being comped and whisked into places like I was special (Maybe a more apt theme is nepotism).
On Monday night, I hit up Southpaw to catch friend-in-my-head, Imani Coppola and her group, Little Jackie. I've been an Imani fan since way back in the '90s when she logged MTV-time with that nutty video and song "Legend Of A Cowgirl." Her work with Little Jackie is no less kicky (and loopy) as she sauntered on stage and muttered pleasantries to her two stuffed bunnies. The band bubbled through a lot of new stuff which combines the breezy doo-wop riffs of The Supremes with the biting, self-aware lyrics of well, Imani Coppola. My favorite was the swingy "Black Barbie" that takes the piss out of daffy celebutantes. Throughout the night she tossed bubblegum to the crowd and took her top off, because, well, why not. It was like watching Amy Winehouse if her eccentricities were triggered by a sugar high and not a crack binge.
Tuesday, a good friend hooked up me up with list space for Dizzee Rascal's performance at my new Slope haunt, Southpaw. Dizzee pounced on stage with his incredibly chill hype man and pummeled through his three-album deep catalogue of punchy rhymes and steely beats. The crowd went batty on ditties like "G.H.E.T.T.O.," "Paranoid" and "Flex" from his upcoming U.S. release, Maths & English. Backstage, a bouncy Aaron LaCrate discussed 2Pac while a sleepy-eyed Dizzee recounted slap-happy times as a rowdy East End teen and dropped sage ruminations about his Nigerian and Ghanaian heritage. It was a time.
Wednesday night, another buddy put on an acoustic showcase at The Cutting Room. Real talk, I hate acoustic music. I was there simply to send some sublime head-nods of support. However, I was not prepared for the billowy-haired songstress with the mega-dimples, Stephanie Michelle, and her sharp-edged version of Radiohead's "Creep." Her voice was this rich cocktail of feathery tones and bold melisma. With her vulnerable and generous voice, the lyrics were that much more emotive. By the end I was down right dewy-eyed and I took my behind home to blubber in private.
Finally, I caught religion at a Saturday night performance of the Broadway hit Passing Strange. I first heard about Passing Strange about this time last year through this black rock blog, www.boldaslove.us and how it was about identity and colored people strummin' git-boxes. I'm pissed that I waited for it to blow up on Broadway (everyone from Toni Morrison to Barbara Walters have checked it out. We sat behind Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz). I have never seen an artistic narrative that spoke to my experience as a surly, arty, black girl constructing her identity in a too-postmodern world. The writing, the music, the performances were literally the best things I've ever seen – I was pelting out giggles in one beat and nodding in tearful empathy the next. Maybe I was just having an emotional week. The friend I saw it with gave me a hug.

OK. This is a good start. One more person with the same feeling and we'll have to act upon this. And fast.

ZF-7509: Zend_Currency::toCurrency() - no space between number and Currency (PHP version affected)
I don't know if this is gonna get "fixed" - since I think it might PHP version related, but maybe it gets decided that it will get some workaround.
$currency = new Zend_Currency('en_US'); $currency->setFormat(array('display' => Zend_Currency::USE_NAME, 'position' => Zend_Currency::RIGHT)); // prints '1.000,00 US Dollar' echo $currency->toCurrency(1000);
On PHP 5.2.4 (ZF 1.8.2) it prints "1.000,00 US Dollar".
On PHP 5.2.6 (ZF 1.8.2 & 1.9.0) it prints "1.000,00US Dollar"
The space between number and currency is missing. Now all I can see from it is someway PHP version related - or i missed something on the system level.
Can anyone else confirm this?
The formatting for currency values within en_US in CLDR 1.7 (which is used in 1.9) are:
which means that numbers are rendered like
You changed to name which then returns
US Dollar1,234.00
Then you changed the position which returns
1,234.00US Dollar
As result to this issue: According to the above mentioned rules the returned value is correct NOT to hold an space. Note that old releases can have bugs.
I get the last mentioned result regardless of the used PHP version (5.2.4, 5.2.6, 5.3.0)

This is the second article in a five-part series from writer Matthew Solan on Summer Olympic sports that fiftysomething readers may want to take up to boost their fitness. Watch for future articles on race walking, boxing and fencing.
Synchronized swimming, or "synchro," is still seen by many casual fans as more of an artistic endeavor than an athletic feat. If your impression of the sport is based on visions of waterproof eyeliner, petal-covered swim caps, Esther Williams movies and that classic Saturday Night Live sketch, think again: It requires tremendous effort to make swimming in sync look so effortless.
"Synchro is a theatrical sport where we have the pretty makeup and the big smiles," U.S. Olympian Mary Killman said in a recent interview with Sports Illustrated. "But under all that — under water — it's chaos. We're kicking each other like crazy and trying to hold each other up."
(MORE: Lynn Sherr Says You Should Swim Into Your Next Decade)
Killman and partner Mariya Koroleva will represent the U.S. in the Olympic duet competition at the London Games from August 5-7. Russia, which has captured the last three gold medals in synchronized swimming, and Japan are considered the teams to beat. (The U.S. failed to qualify for the nine-woman team event for the first time.)
The Basics of Synchronized Swimming
Synchro is much like it appears — a dance routine in water, choreographed to music. You snap into this position, you snap into that position, you twirl, spin, kick and jump. And you always move in perfect sequence with your partner or teammates in one continuous, flowing program.
"We must have flexible joints and muscles to get into the various positions required to perform the leg and arm sequences in routines," says Nathalie Schneyder Bartleson, a member of the 1996 gold-medal-winning U.S. team and its 2004 Olympic coach. "If you can hold a squat position on land, do a perfectly straight plank or push-up position, go into a split, and hoist anything heavy over your head many times, that's a great start to learning and executing many of the sport's required skills."
There are two basic moves that synchro swimmers at any level must master: sculling and the eggbeater kick. Sculling is a means of propelling yourself in the water by waving the arms and hands beside the body, like doing a figure-eight on your side. The eggbeater kick is done with your legs split and your knees bent in front of you, keeping you high in the water while leaving your arms free for movements.

text: Pre-Dentistry Pre-Dentistry, Pre-Medicine & Pre-Veterinary ScienceProgram Information Saint Mary's University, in accord with the policy enunciated in the GREP Report of the Association of American Medical Colleges, does not require any particular major for those students interested in applying to dental, medical or veterinary science schools. Diverse majors are acceptable for admission to schools for the healing professions. However, a strong sequence of science courses prepares students for the Medical College Aptitude Test (MCAT). Demonstrated proficiency in mathematics, science, and liberal arts courses develops interpretive and critical abilities as well as a broad appreciation and understanding of the humanities. Saint Mary's additionally emphasizes the necessity for including in the student's four-year curriculum those courses which allow the student to develop the ability to synthesize knowledge and to arrive at thoughtful reflective decisions in the ethical/moral sphere. Such skills can be achieved through the pursuit of various disciplines as logic, ethics, literature, psychology and theology. Most students attempt national examinations in the latter part of their junior year. By that time they should have completed a minimum of one year of biology and physics and two years of chemistry. It is recommended that students consult with members of the medical professions committee early in their career at Saint Mary's and that they work very closely with their academic advisor. Letters of recommendation are an important part of the student's medical school application. Students petition a letter from the medical professions committee. The medical professions committee prefaces its recommendations predicated on the premises that medical school preparation should be thoroughly grounded in liberal education and that our medical students should possess an exceptional level of ethical and moral concern to reflect Saint Mary's nature as a Catholic university. Members of the medical professions committee, the professional school advisor, the vice president for academic affairs, and academic advisors have copies of possible paradigms (including these requirements) for your use. It must be emphasized that each professional school may have additional course requirements. A catalog containing the requirements is available in the office of the chair of the medical professions committee. It is imperative that students consult frequently with their academic advisors. Course descriptions + More (From the 2011-13 Catalog) Pre-Medical School Preparation A.

Hershey's Kisses have been busy this year with their 100th anniversary, as they've been releasing various limited edition flavors to celebrate the occasion. The Cookies 'n' Creme flavor is one of the newest Kiss offerings that I stumbled across on a recent trip to Wal-Mart. Despite the fact that the bag of these is huge, I happily tossed it into my cart without a second thought.
These new Kisses are described as white chocolate with "cookie bits". The wrapper is a pleasing bright sky blue with designs of cookies printed in silver on them and I find it very attractive. I turned over the bag to read the ingredients list to find that these are sadly not real white chocolate. Tropical oils are present towards the top, which cheapens the product as well as manufacturing costs. It's discouraging to see these aren't all cocoa butter like they should be. To add to the frustration, PGPR shows up as well so you know Hershey's isn't making a top notch Kiss here. I'm already disappointed without even tasting them yet.
The Kisses look pretty with their milky appearance and brown spots peeking though, which look suspiciously like brown non pariels. The taste is very strong on the vanilla flavor and are quite creamy, yet they still carry that "white chocolate" essence to it. I was correct, the "cookie bits" are indeed chocolate non pariels. They provide an interesting textural crunch but no actual cookie flavor. These are also pretty sweet as far as Kisses go and as a result are very cloying. The flavor is very compelling though, since the overall effect does taste like cookies to me.
As far as the limited edition Kisses go, I liked these more than most of the varieties that've been released. My only wish is that they'd used real cocoa butter and the non pariels were actually cookie bits. Otherwise I feel a bit cheated by the false promise of cookies and creme.

ZF-9300: Add support for rel="nofollow" attribute on anchors in Zend_Navigation view helpers
Currently Navigation supports rel and rev attributes, but these are only used by the Links view helper. I've read multiple people needing rel="nofollow" on anchors, and although it's easily implemented using a custom view helper, it's also no work to implement this in the framework itself. So why not support it?
Patch attached, please review and commit
Hi Maghiel, there are also for the "a" element many more options: [http://w3.org/TR/html4/…] Your patch allows only one option!
Hey Kai,
I wrote this patch because at that point there were some people on the mailing list asking to support rel="nofollow". But you're right, why not add all the options then?
I'll look deeper into this and change the issue accordingly (and attach a patch eventually), but now first going to have my friday night ;)
Thanks for the input!
At the moment you can only set the relation for "Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_Links" with "Zend_Navigation_Page::setRel()".
We need a solution to set relations for the HTML Link element and for the HTML A element.
The HTML5 specification includes a nice overview in a table: www.w3.org/TR/html5/links.html#linkTypes" rel="nofollow">HTML5: 4.12 Links - 4.12.4 Link types There you can see which type is allowed for the Link element and which is allowed for the A element.
Hi Maghiel, any updates on this issue?

ZF-10741: Zend_Mail_Protocol_Smtp needs unit tests
Hi Marc
You will push to git ZF2 to after close this issue?
Thanks advance
Patch adds unit tests to Zend_Mail_Protocol_Smtp, with a small refactoring of calls to PHP stream functions in Zend_Mail_Protocol_Abstract to allow mocking of the protocol adapter for testing.
Applied to trunk in r23475, merged to release branch 1.11 in r23476. Leaving open for now to remind myself to add these tests to ZF2.
Hi Marc
You will push to git ZF2 to after close this issue? (because i think convenient create a task with Fix Version/s Next Major Release).
Thanks advance
Marking as resolved. See ZF-10853 for implementation in ZF2.

ZF-2950: Element ids for dd/dt elements by default
It would be nice if the dt and dd elements would have an id of their own by default, instead of having to set it manually. This would allow for easy js and css manipulation. (e.g. displaying/hiding an entire row etc.) The label id could have a "-label" suffix and and element id could have a "-element" suffix (naming suggestions are welcome):
Please categorize/fix as needed.
Scheduling for next minor release.
Attached a patch for this issue (no unit test included)

These cases have a pretty low numbered case number, but have tall ribs. Didn't 41 cases also have the number pad with the two bumps on it? Is this a number job?

What's it like to be a Beginner?

Katie's Newbie Perspective
This was my first official season of racing. I came from a tri background and don't really miss it. Cycling is so much simpler in a way. Not nearly as much stuff to keep track of for a race. No transitions, no wetsuit, goggles, no dilemma over socks/no socks, shoes clipped in or not. Just get on your bike and pedal. But the only thing I do miss is that it was easier for me to identify my strengths (swimming and transitions) and my weaknesses (or as I like to call it, 'my tri-nemesis' which was running). I formed my plan for the off season to work on running, power and endurance. Racing season was usually 3 races. Maybe 5 top. Heavy mental preparation for those select few races and then on the big day, I'd exploit my swim as best as I could to gain time for my abysmal running leg.
Cycling is different. After a season of racing, I'm still not sure what I'm good at and what I'm not. I raced a variety of races but it's still not clear as to what I should do next or focus on for next season. I often over-train and Joel Friel's "Cyclist Bible" makes no sense to me whatsoever. I know it should, but it doesn't. I know I need to hire a coach but I'm reluctant to do so for various reasons. Mostly it's the thought that as a newbie cyclist, I'm just not worth it.
This is the most dangerous train of thought to hop aboard as a Newbie. There are multiple ways on how this sabotages you as an athlete new to racing. Here are some you may be familiar with:
I'm only a Cat 4 so...
I don't have to have a training plan.
My diet doesn't really matter.
Sleep doesn't really matter.
It doesn't matter if I warm up before a race.
It doesn't matter where or when I line up.
I don't deserve to fight for a position in the
registration line
porta-potty line
warm-up laps
race itself
Over-training doesn't apply to me.
An off-season doesn't apply to me.
Obviously this is complete crap when you look at it. However, I would say that it took me at least 10 races before I didn't constantly have these negative trains of thought running through my head. And even yesterday, late into my first cx season (well, late for me), I STILL battled these feelings. That feeling that everyone else who is racing seems to know what's going on more and will be faster.
I think when I start to consider myself "a racer" instead of someone who is "trying out bike racing" then I'll allow myself to succeed. I had several podium finishes over the summer, but always found myself negating them. I'm only a Cat 4. Like it matters. Well, yes and no. Does it matter the way a Cat 1 podium finish matters within the local/national cycling community? No. Does it matter to my two little girls who are 7 and 9? Yes. Do my non-cycling friends and family understand that I'm on the lowest rung of the bike racing ladder? No. They think I'm a super-star. Why not let this misconception go on instead of always immediately dispelling it? I am a completely average athlete, person, and mom. But when I race, even if I suck, I am a superstar. That's what being a newbie racer is. Allowing yourself to become a totally average super-star even if you think you don't deserve it.
What's it like to race? Do you remember that void of not knowing what it is like to race a bike? What will it be like, will I crash and get a compound fracture, will I win and get to do some crazy Peter Sagan victory arm dance thingy? Will I get kissed by two chicks at the same time? But for many this world of shaved legs, embrocation, glued tires and the assumption that everyone dopes, is a lot to take in and to decide to step into if they want to give this cyclcross thing a try. Last year we ran a Coffee Talk Tuesday on Getting more Newbies to try out Bike Racing that got a lot of good discussion. Also last year Primal sponsored a race, Primalpalooza, which had a category that was JUST FOR BEGINNERS and according to ACA records 45 people raced in it. That is 45 people who had never done a cx race before!
This year PrimalPalooza is back September 29th and so is the the Beginner race so tell your friends, co-workers, girlfriends and/or boyfriends, bosses, etc. Learn more about PrimalPalooza
Tami's Newbie Perspective
I've never officially raced a bike before. Unofficially yes. When I got my first (and current) carbon fiber bicycle and rode around the city of Chicago on it, often with friends who had fixies, or less-speedy road bikes, it was not uncommon to find ourselves pedaling as fast as we could before the next light or stop sign and seeing who got there first. Just enough time for the legs to burn a bit, to get that exhilarating feeling of wow, what an amazing machine this bicycle is, and to trigger the habitual thought that mine was worth every penny.
I almost didn't want to sign up for a racing team because riding my bike was the one thing that didn't have to be a competition. Being a competitive athlete my whole life, more in the soccer realm than anything else, cycling was something I picked up to commute to and from work, and it was just pure fun. No competition to corrupt it or take away from the thrill of just getting outside, experiencing my surroundings, and riding until my legs were shot. I liked (and still do!) that I could get alone on my bike and think and just ride; no one pushing me or telling me how or where to ride- I got to decide that and discover new routes and push my legs' limits to compete against myself.
But, I suppose my competitive nature got the best of me somewhere along the way, and I couldn't shake the thought of joining a team and seeing what racing is like. So, after some online searching for teams in the Colorado area, I happened upon the Cyclist-Lawyer team and sent them an email. The next day I was excited to find they had already responded and were very helpful and welcoming in their response. I continued to look at some other teams but kind of knew all along I wanted to join the Cyclist-Lawyer.
Led by Megan Hottman, the Cyclist-Lawyer seems like just the type of team I want to be a part of. As someone who hasn't raced before, there's a lot to be intimidated by, but I love the approach of Megan and several of the other women who were on the team last year. They are eager to share what they have learned/are learning about riding technique and training, and dispel fears for someone like me because they've experienced most of the unknowns of racing. As far as I can tell, a get-out-and-try-it, don't-worry-if-you-fall-on-your-face-a-few-times mentality characterizes this team, and the support is there for before and after those tumbles do take place.
To sum it up, as a veteran rider but virgin racer, (ha) I'm excited to learn, train, improve, and ride with a fantastic group of women who love the adventure of cycling like I do.
Sue's Newbie Perspective
I have mountain biked for 8 years or so, but never really had the itch to try a race until last spring. I was looking to add a new dimension to my riding, and racing seemed like a good idea. I had no absolutely no idea what to expect in my first mountain bike race other than I was worried about how to pass people during the race. It turns out, passing itself isn't that bad: there comes a point where you want to go faster than the person in front of you and you just need to let them know you are going to pass, how you will pass (e.g., on the left) and thank them afterward. People are generally nice and allow you to pass. Knowing when to pass can be hard because it requires a burst of energy and some strategy, but the passing itself -- easy peasey! Before the start, I figured I'd just take it easy since it was my first ever mountain bike race. Wrong! When the race starts, you can't help but want to push yourself; the trick is knowing how hard to go. On the first lap of the two lap course, I paced behind another racer because her pace felt just a shade slower than I wanted to go and I figured it was good for me to hold back a bit. I ended up passing her on a big downhill and then I was left to decide my own pace. That was the hard part, because I didn't know what I was capable of: ride too slow and you feel like you aren't making the most of the race and ride too fast and you blow up. It's a fine line, but, what I realized that day is finding that line is a big part of the fun of racing for me. I also realized that racing is an opportunity to identify my strengths and weaknesses because the pressure situation really highlights them, and it is an opportunity to test myself in ways I just can't do in my day-to-day rides. It is these realizations that encouraged me to do more racing; it's helped me grow considerably as a rider because I learn so much from each event and can apply the knowledge to improve my riding.

Volleyball Returns To EIVA Play, Looks For Season Sweep Of Penn State
MATCH LINKS: Penn State Live Video l Penn State Live Stats l Saint Francis Live Stats
All was not well with the Princeton men's volleyball team when the reigning power in the EIVA last came to Dillon Gym.
The Tigers were 3-6 on the season, but they had already lost four five-set matches, and they were facing an early hole in EIVA play against a team they hadn't beaten since 1998.
Then came the final night of February, when more 1,500 fans packed a raucous Dillon Gym and watched Princeton cure its five-set phobia at the most opportune time. The most complete effort of the 2014 season left the Tigers on the winning end of a 15-11 thriller in the final set of a 3-2 victory over nationally ranked Penn State.
That match is one of 11 wins Princeton has earned in its last 12 matches. The Tigers are currently 12-7 overall, 7-2 in EIVA play, and have established themselves as legitimate contenders for the EIVA championship.
But they aren't alone, and they know it.
Penn State, which has never lost a home match to Princeton, remains in front of the EIVA field with a 6-1 league record. Harvard, which capped a season sweep of Princeton with a 3-2 win March 8 (the Tigers' only loss in the last 12 matches), is 7-2, but it still has a home match to play against Penn State.
And both Saint Francis and George Mason have shown improvements and are likely battling for the fourth and final playoff spot.
We can sit and speculate how they all match up against each other. Or we can watch and see how these next few days play out, when four of the five teams just mentioned will meet in a crucial set of weekend series.
Princeton begins its weekend Friday night at Penn State (7 pm), and will continue with a 4 pm showdown at Saint Francis Saturday. George Mason will play Saint Francis in the final meeting between two teams vying for fourth place, and then the Patriots will head to Penn State Saturday.
Very little is likely to be settled by Sunday, although Princeton could clinch a berth in the postseason if everything falls the right way. The Tigers are also still in contention to host the EIVA playoffs for the first time in program history, but a win over Penn State is almost mandatory.
Should Princeton defeat Penn State, it would own a two-team tiebreaker with the Nittany Lions. But to get there by season's end, Princeton would likely need to win out and have Penn State beat Harvard on the road; Harvard owns the two-team tiebreaker over Princeton.
There is still plenty left to play out, even beyond this weekend, but a victory Friday night would be just as importance to the team's psyche as it would be for the record.
Plus, it's a high-level test for a team with the highest of goals this season.
"As enjoyable as the win was, our goal is still to beat them at the end of the season," said All-East opposite hitter Cody Kessel. "We know they have gotten better in the past month and we know we have too, so we are very excited to just have another solid chance at competing against a great team. And to still have the chance to host EIVA playoffs on the line adds to the intensity."
Winning on the road has been a challenge in past years for Princeton; since 2011, Princeton is 1-9 in road matches against Penn State, Harvard and George Mason. Whether it is now or in the postseason, the Tigers know they'll need at least a couple major road wins to get to the NCAA Championships.
"Just making sure we play confident, energetic volleyball and execute like we always do," said Kessel, talking about the keys to winning on the road. "We do a lot of things to make sure we are adjusted to new places. We just have to bring a little bit of extra energy sometimes to counter the home crowds and the comfort of the home teams."
"The biggest factor in our play is serving and passing," fellow All-East standout Pat Schwagler said. "When we serve and pass well, it makes every other facet of the game much easier. We didn't play especially well against Penn State at home, but our serving and passing helped us tremendously through the match.
We've also worked on bringing a relaxed, focused energy to the court," he added. "A lot of times we have gotten tense or frustrated when things haven't gone our way, but we've been focusing on maintaining a more consistent, positive energy."
Princeton enters the weekend on a five-match win streak, including a 3-0 stretch against a trio of teams from Conference Carolinas during the team's recently completed Spring Break trip.
"The spring break trip was a great opportunity to play some of the top teams in the Conference Carolinas," head coach Sam Shweisky said. "This year the CC will get an automatic bid into the NCAA playoffs at Loyola Chicago, so it was a great opportunity to familiarize ourselves with some of the top talent in their conference. Additionally it is always nice to travel for spring break and have some great time for team bonding.
"This week was back to business as we buckled down at training and reemphasized a focus on the fundamentals," Shweisky added. "This last stretch of league matches are critical for the EIVA playoffs and we are excited to get back to competing in league action again this weekend."

The Affordable Care Act and How it Affects You LEARN MORE
We all know that the Fourth of July represents the birth of the United States of America. It marks the day we declared our independence from the sovereign nation of Great Britain. But did you ever wonder if the Founding Fathers thought about their taxes? Of course they did! Unfair taxation was one of the main motivations for forming our great nation! But what would the Founding Fathers tax situations look like under today's tax code? Let's check it out!
Thomas Jefferson: a representative of Virginia, a noted scientist, and a writer. He was also chosen to write the Declaration of Independence for the fledgling country. Jefferson kept a diary of his travel from Monticello to Philadelphia and receipts for his hotel stay and food to maintain his personal records and ledgers. Since Jefferson was a member of the Continental Congress, the cost of his travel, food and lodging can be deducted as an employee business expense and any supplies he purchased that weren't reimbursed, such as paper and ink, could also be claimed. But Jefferson was a business owner, author and an inventor as well. Each of these endeavors is a business and allows deductions for travel, education, training, supplies and equipment. The income and expenses for each business, should he have been alive and well today, would be reported on the appropriate form for the business, such as a Schedule C for a sole proprietor.
Paul Revere: a silversmith by trade who also worked as a courier for the Boston Committee of Public Safety, he regularly traveled to New York and Philadelphia to report on political unrest and provided engravings for political magazines and other popular periodicals and papers of the time. As you can see, Paul would have at least three separate businesses, the courier business, the news articles and engravings, and the silversmith business. Each business would have deductions based on the expenses for that business. Paul could have mileage expenses for the courier and silversmith businesses and raw materials for his silversmith and engraving businesses. In addition, Paul would have employees in his silversmith business so he would have employment taxes to pay and returns to file as well as benefits such as health insurance. But, perhaps his best tax break would come from his 14 children. Yes, 14, and for all those under 17, he would get a $1,000 tax credit – assuming his modified AGI is less than $110,000.
Benjamin Franklin: This famous elder statesman was also the consummate entrepreneur. Franklin was an author, scientist, politician, postmaster, inventor, musician, satirist, and diplomat for the fledgling United States. Franklin needed to keep detailed records of his travel, lodging, meals, and supplies expenses so he could correctly claim the appropriate expenses against each source of income. Much of Franklin's work was done out of a home office, allowing him to deduct a portion of his housing expenses. While he only had three children compared to Paul Revere's 14, Ben Franklin can still claim the child tax credits for his children under age 17.
Benedict Arnold: Benedict Arnold was a businessman and military man throughout his life. His businesses often failed as spectacularly as his military career both in the Continental Army and in Great Britain. General Arnold was very lax in his recordkeeping, especially when it came to his expenses. Prior to his defection from the Continental Army, Benedict Arnold was informed by the Continental Army that his reimbursement for the expenses of the Battle for Ontario would be £1,000 less than expected due to lack of receipts. However, Arnold would pay a hefty tax bill today since the British paid him £20,000 to defect and sell U.S. secrets. The income from his traitorous activity is taxable and he is not able to deduct any expenses as the tax code requires all income, including income from illegal activities, to be reported on the tax return. However, the expenses against income from illegal activities are not allowed as a deduction.

The market for traditional servers is being enveloped by the cloud writes Barb Darrow at Gigaom. She says cloud infrastructure companies – read "the biggest customers for servers" – increasingly build their own kit or buy hardware from less-known brands.
This partly explains why Dell and HP are keen to develop their own cloud infrastructures. That and the fact that their traditional customers are increasingly buying cloud capacity, not plonking down big dollars for their own server farms.
Dell and HP both suffer from being big flashy corporations packed with overpaid executives, posh HQs and big marketing spends. That was fine a decade ago. Today's hardware margins don't allow such indulgences.
Nor do today's or tomorrow's cloud service margins.
