"It was the most emotionally moving, musically satisfying night the Hall has ever seen," said Rolling Stone's Anthony Bozza of the 1999 Induction Ceremony. What a combination: stellar performances, powerful speeches, and the lingering sadness from the recent loss of inductees Charles Brown and Dusty Springfield, plus Linda McCartney's death, and the courage of Curtis Mayfield, who'd planned to attend, but whose deteriorating health prevented it at the last minute. Instead of giving a speech, inductee Paul McCartney tearfully spoke of his late wife: "It's brilliant/sad, of course, because, yeah, I would like my baby to share this with me. She wanted this. But it's beautiful, you know, she's beautiful, it's all beautiful, and we're cool. I love rock & roll. I love Cleveland, 'cause Cleveland gave me Linda's mom, she was from Cleveland. And I love New York, 'cause New York gave me Linda. So I want to say to you all, thank you very, very much, and this one's for you, baby.
It was a night of raconteurs -- Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Bonnie Raitt, Elton John, Billy Joel, Chris Isaak -- giving both funny and moving speeches. The musical performances were superb, including the Staple Singers testifying on "Respect Yourself" and "I'll Take You There" and Eric Clapton and D'Angelo's charged performance of the Impressions' "I've Been Trying." Most spectacular was the end-of-the-night musical marathon, including Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band reunion -- the first in a decade -- and the surprise appearance of 1991 inductee Wilson Pickett, duetting with Springsteen on his 1965 hit "In the Midnight Hour." The biggest surprise came with the spontaneity at the night's end when Paul McCartney joined in on a impassioned "Let It Be."

Platform management
Effective platform management can provide you with a competitive advantage. In today's quick moving world, market opportunities, threats, and partner and customer integration are driving increased demands on system availability and control. The ability to effectively manage your platform and your information systems (IS) environment is imperative. Information is the heart of your business and the key to your company's bottom line. That information must be available to you and your customers when needed. Critical decisions and customer loyalties can be impacted when you lose or can't administer the IS resources that supply the information.
The manageable, highly available IBM i is the solution for today's information-driven fast-paced business environment. IBM i can provide your company with a serious competitive advantage over competitors running less stable, less scaleable, less reliable, and less manageable platforms.
Platform manageability is an increasingly important part of the initial buying decision. You don't want to base your business on a platform that can't be managed – particularly with the rapid delivery of new and changing technologies, e-business and Web opportunities, the 24 hour a day services required by your customers, and business decisions. Today's buyers need to ensure that they can manage their platforms and environments in the event of power outages, have the ability to plan for seasonal computational needs or monitor key resources, and the need to be as efficient as possible with their IS staff. This is what IBM i platform manageability is all about – providing a set of solution options to meet the needs of today's business.
Performance management
Performance management provides the capabilities for customers to understand and manage the performance of their computing environments.
- Real-time monitoring
- History/trends of performance/capacity
- Capacity planning
- Performance tuning controls
- Performance problem isolation
- Workload balancing
- Application
- "Design for Performance" tools
To support these capabilities, products and tools, data collection facilities, and instrumentation are required.
Size and complexity of customer computing environments - client/server, cooperative and distributed applications, distributed data, local and wide area networks, Web/intranet/internet, third-party and home-grown applications, heterogeneous computing resources - all place ongoing demands on the capabilities for understanding and managing performance.
Technologies supporting these capabilities include: GUI, automation, data base, performance data visualization, correlation (establishing the relationship among pieces of data that originate from different sources), decomposition (breaking down a time measurement, e.g. response time, into its components), and standards.
Storage management
Power System servers are regarded as one of the industry's most scalable and highly integrated servers. IBM i automates a majority of the storage management tasks with state of the art disk storage subsystems, self-managing and easy to use interfaces, and sophisticated software automation such as:
- Backup Recovery Media Services for IBM i
- IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
- Independent Disk Pools
- IBM PowerHA High Availability Solution
- Virtual I/O Server support
- Copy Services for IBM i
Power Systems IBM i servers are renowned for high volume transaction workloads that are typical in the commercial computing environment. This scalability and performance can be provided by either the self-optimizing integrated storage management architecture of IBM i or through SAN attached storage.

Reviews for Mexican Deviled Eggs
"Deliciously different twist on an old standard. It was a hit with my group!"
"Instead of mayo I used cream cheese. Overall the eggs were bland. I'd like to make them again but will add some needed zing to them. Maybe more salt, cilantro, chili powder?"
"Some of the best deviled eggs I've ever tasted. My boyfriend surprised me with these on National Deviled Egg Day....a great twist on the traditional deviled egg."
"This recipe is great...adds a different twist to the "traditional" deviled eggs. I thought the salsa added just enough flavor (and crunch), I used a mexican cheese blend, since that is what I had on hand. I would make this again, and I don't even like deviled eggs! Thanks for sharing!"
"I wouldn't eat deviled eggs until I tried this recipe. It's awesome! My family always asks me to make it when we have big get togethers."

I cannot see Sour Punch products and not think of one of my college roommates, who was the one who really introduced me to the Sour Punch candies. It's amazing to me how many things, people and experiences you can associate with a certain candy. Since I really am a sucker for citrus flavors, this box of Tangerine Lemonade Sour Punch Bit really called to me. The box is a decent size, colorful and appealing. I really love the expressions of their Sour Punch characters on the front puckering up.
My readers may remember that I reviewed another Sour Punch Bits flavor last year, Strawberry Watermelon. These bits are way more colorful with their orange and yellow stripes. They are brightly colored and covered with a sour sugar. These exude a more "sour" presence than the other flavor did. They remind me of those colored erasers you see in Staples and Office Max.
The texture of these is soft but similar to plastic. The flavor is nice and way more up my alley than the Strawberry Watermelon. The tangerine flavor is spot on as it's like orange, but way more zesty and tart. The lemonade accents it nicely with a lemon zip that keeps the flavor contrast from fading at all. This flavor has way more "punch" to me because the actual fruit flavors are zesty, so when the sour sugar wears off there is still sourness to the candy. I couldn't help but pop one another another into my mouth to continue that sour flavor. It's really addicting!
These are one of my favorite Sour Punch candies to date. I really like the shapes of them as opposed to the straws and belts. They're just more pop-able and more intense since they're individual pieces. This also makes them easy to share too, in my experience. So if you're a fan of Sour Punch or any sour candies, I feel these are worth checking out.

They are never played in tournaments and don't seem very strong in general. Is it just the free flash they get? Is it because they are countered by vision?
closed as not constructive by FAE, Wipqozn♦, Frank, Fluttershy, Resorath Jul 16 '12 at 16:32
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
They are very strong in low elo solo q becouse of their amazing roaming potential. Good gank from either kassadin or shaco is just incredibly strong, and on low elo solo q ppl dont know how to counter it (how to place wards against shaco, how to communicate fast enough to prevent ganks) which makes them win early game for their team easly. Also kassa is just a very strong mid laner which counters more champions than he is countered by, so if hes picked after enemy mid champion he's probly going to have easy lane.
People don't have map awareness most of the time and they can snowball lanes fairly easily.
They are banned because people are afraid of kassadin;s ult as a source of damage,ganks and way to escape.Nevertheless Kass is easy to counter by Galio or Talon. I Don't ban him.
Shaco's Deceive is a bit scary for ganking nad not as easy to counter ( by vision or good placed wards in his jungle). I don't ban him because there are always stronger champions i must ban, but i don't like playing against him
shaco is a very strong early ganker and can give a lane a massive advantage. kass has a lot of mobility and once he gets level 6 and blue buff he can more around the map very fast and gank, also if you do not know how to deal with him killing him because a massive problem because he just rift walks away.
They are banned in solo queue because they're strong snowball champions that roam well.
Shaco specifically because of his ganks, and the fact that you need good communication and ward coverage to shut him down, neither of which you find a lot of in solo queue.
Kassadin is an anti-mage champion that shuts down a number of mid champs and snowballs very hard and has a lot of roam capability.
Simply these champions are banned because nobody in solo queue wants to deal with them.
Sometimes, a hero can dominate the meta in a certain elo bracket, due to buffs or lack of counterplay understanding, and then counterplay understanding occurs, or the hero in question is nerfed, but the elo bracket continues banning those heroes because it's just a habit that doesn't die. This is the case with shaco and kassadin. In the case of Shaco and Kassadin, both are incredibly easy to shut down with counterplay and are incredibly bad bans against heroes that truly impact the game with ease as of July 15th 2012, such as Malphite, Shen, Alistar, Blitzcrank, Nautilus, Nocturne, Twisted Fate, Karthus, Soraka, etc.

The best part about having a sister publication like Utah Style & Design magazine is being able to share content. If you've been on utahstyleanddesign.com lately, you may have read this article, but we couldn't wait to share it with Salt Lake readers.
Without question, Desireé Ashworth has a thing for the beauty and simplicity of French, Gustavian and Belgian design. Take one look at the home she and husband Matt created in Provo and it's easy to understand why. The residence is truly spectacular making it a wonderful feature for the current issue of Utah Style & Design (Fit for a King, pages 58- 65). To learn more about the chic chateau, we visited with Desireé—the design talent behind Décor de Provence—to learn more about the inspiration and ideas that contributed to the creation of this regal home.
What inspired the home's design?
The bones of the home were inspired from an old hunting lodge built in the 13th century in the South of France called Aramis. My husband Matt and I were so inspired by this home, that it became the foundation for our creation.
What specifically did you like about Aramis?
This hunting lodge displayed the beautiful simplicity of Provence. We loved the sparseness of rough hewn wood floors and the grayish blue stained doors—it was the perfect chateau. This home was comprised of all things Belgian and Swedish as well.
Belgian design has really been on the hot list lately. How do you define it?
Belgian design to me is seeing the beauty in the simple things, the funny little side table built by a Belgian farmer hundreds of years ago and organic rough materials that lend to a simple organic lifestyle. Less is more when it comes to the Belgian country lifestyle.
How did you integrate this sensibility into your home?
We left our floors unstained, our ceilings paneled and white-washed, and our furniture designed with rough linen, raffia and burlap.
The magazine story leads with an explanation of Gustavian Design. What's your take this period style?
What's so beautiful about this time period is the mind of Gustav III. He had such amazing vision and taste; he saw the beauty of French Neo-classical detailing with hints of Italian classicism and refined these elements creating one of the most sought after genres of design. Our home was not only Gustavian inspired, it's was the perfect balance between Provincial French, Belgian and Gustavian design. I know this sounds a little confusing, but what's so amazing is how well these genres play off each other so effortlessly.
Do you have a favorite object in the home? The Swedish Mora clock is one of our favorite pieces in the home. Mora clocks were made by humble farmers. Due to the harsh winter conditions in Sweden, farmers could not make sufficient funds, so they would make Mora clocks as gifts for married couples.
The chandelier are pretty spectacular as well. How did you end up using them?
The juxtaposition of white-washed woods, grayed pastels and painted furniture coupled with fabulous crystal lighting is a signature note to the Gustavian period. That is why we hung 19th century French chandeliers throughout the home. I splurged on the light fixtures hoping they would carry this genre boldly. The mercury glass displayed on our fireplace mantel and also our dining room table reminded me of the mercury glass mirrored walls in the palace of Versailles.
What should people to take away from seeing this house?
If you really study this home closely, you will see how we value the beauty of simplicity. There is nothing I love more than a sweet piece of furniture made and designed from the heart of a simple farmer. To me design comes from the heart and not the head and should be never over thought. This is how the people in the South of France, Belgium and Sweden live.
Matt and Desireé

Opening Day Take Two: Ch-ch-changes
It's been a long time since I haven't watched a MN Twins Opening Day…a streak that won't be broken come Friday night!
What blows my mind sometimes, though, is how (no matter how different our lives may look from year to year) baseball is always "The Constant" (LOST fans or Field of Dream fanatics get it!) each April.
I mean, last year I was watching the Twins opener in a rental house because our family was in the process of moving, I was driving a different car, and working a different job. A lot of changes in the span of one calendar year.
Luckily, baseball (except on very few occasions) has always brightened the mood of life come spring!

Hoping J.K. Rowling's much-anticipated first novel for grown-ups will include some sort of wizardry for women? Sorry, sisters. USA Today reports The Casual Vacancy is completely different from Harry Potter.
Still, it's doubtful Rowling or her publisher will need any magic to sell mega copies of the book set in Pagford, a small English town, when it debuts in hardcover and digitally on September 27. According to the newspaper, 2 million hardcover copies will be delivered in America alone, with more being released in the U.K., Germany, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
"I expect the world to be ecstatic at the range of her imaginative reach," Michael Pietsch, the author's American publisher, tells USA Today. He adds that the book, which clocks in at 512 pages, reminded him of Dickens "because of the humanity, the humor, the social concerns, the intensely real characters."
Advance review copies are not being released and there's much secrecy surrounding the book, but the newspaper does report it "revolves around an election held after a member of the parish council unexpectedly dies."
Now, who do you think will play the council members in the movie?

Lufthansa Highlights Bangkok: "Life flows like silk "
The clatter of the looms can be heard from afar, unless momentarily drowned out by the sound of one of the city's bus boats chugging noisily down the Khlong-Saen-Saep canal and interrupting the laid-back activity of the weavers.
The idyllic scene is deceptive. Depending on the time of day, the color of the water in the canal changes from dark gray to black; the tiny teak huts huddled along the banks are old and dilapidated; ragged clothes hang on lines between bird cages and climbing plants on rickety-looking metal contraptions. Hidden in the heart of Bangkok, not far from the bustle on Rama I Street, the busy mega malls around Siam Square and the imposing National Stadium, this tiny residential and working district has scarcely changed over the past 50 years. It's a fascinating little area exuding a very distinct charm.
In Niphon Manuthas' workshop, three barefoot women tread the pedals of their wooden looms, tossing jewel-colored spools of silk between the warp and weft without missing a beat of their animated chatter. Khun Malai is working on a piece of bright turquoise silk. It will take a week of hard work before she can deliver the 15 meters that a customer has ordered from Baan Krua Thai Silk.
Khun Malai comes from the northeast. Her mother taught her how to weave: In Isan, a rural part of Thailand, practically every family has a few mulberry trees and a weaving loom. Looking for work, she moved to the big city. In those days, Baan Krua was the prosperous district of the silk weavers, and Niphon Manuthas' mother gave the young girl a place to sleep and a job. She has lived here since, in the city's oldest Muslim enclave. Although the shopping malls of Siam, Chidlom or Asoke are only a short train trip away from Baan Krua, she has never seen them.
Nothing has changed in Baan Krua: The wooden huts and the narrow pathways that crisscross between them, the 60-year-old looms, the archaic wheels used to wind the silk onto the bobbins, the hanks of brightly colored silks piled up in large wicker baskets, the heat, the stray cats, the dust.
Baan Krua is a district with a very proud and rich history: In the late 18th century, King Rama I gifted it to a community of Cham Muslims from Cambodia and Vietnam who had fought in his army. In those days, this land lay to the east of the young capital city; the new inhabitants built a mosque and dug a canal down to the wide river of Chao Phraya. They brought with them their culture and their traditions, including silk weaving.
Niphon Manuthas fetches an old silk sarong from his glass-fronted cabinet. It is a wonderful piece of material, as light as a feather and woven in delicate shades of green, yellow and orange. His mother made it for his father, who wore it at his wedding. "See how superb the quality is?," the son asks proudly. Amongst others, the checked sarongs made by Niphon Manuthas' mother, Suree, caught the attention of Jim Thompson in 1947. The American, who was living in Bangkok at the time, discovered the incredibly finely woven silks at one of the local markets.
Thompson was so impressed that he took a few samples to New York, where they were received with equal enthusiasm. He returned to Bangkok and in 1948 set up the Thai Silk Company. Niphon Manuthas' mother and other Baan Krua weaving families were given a share of the company, explains William Booth, who joined Thompson's business in the 1960s and still works for the company as managing director. "My friend Jim was an idealist. He wanted to let as many people as possible participate in his success."
To this day, Niphon Manuthas receives a comfortable annual dividend from the shares in the company, which have increased significantly in value since he inherited them from his mother. These shares have enabled him to bridge the difficult years that all the silk weavers in Baan Krua experienced. In the beginning, they could sell their fabrics for hard dollars to the big boss who lived on the other side of the canal in a fabulous house, celebrating loud parties with his friends every evening. But this era came to an abrupt end in 1967 when Thompson disappeared in the Malaysian jungle without a trace.
"One by one, all the weaving families moved away," explains Niphon Manuthas, "without Jim Thompson they saw no future in their craft." He stayed put and today has plenty of work. His materials can be found on cushions, around windows and covering furniture in Bangkok's luxury hotels, including the Oriental and Shangri-La; they are purchased by wealthy Thais for their wedding gowns and are sold as far a field as Italy, Holland and the United States. Customers can choose a length of fabric straight from the hundreds of bales in the workshop; for this quality, the prices - ranging up to 600 bath (around 12 euros) per meter - are unrivalled anywhere else in the world.
Right next door is the workshop of Uncle Aood. A relative newcomer to Baan Krua, he and his family have been here for over 50 years. Uncle Aood started working in his family's dyeing factory when he was 11. Today, the taciturn chain-smoker employs only five people, including two female weavers who produce the traditional checked silk material. The two women have lived in the district for years, and can remember the days when the looms clattered in every house and hanks of freshly dyed silk hung to dry in bundles from bamboo sticks suspended over the canal.
Uncle Aood's son helps his father in the factory, but doesn't want to take it over. "Too much hard work, too little money," he says laconically. "You just have to be more innovative," says Pattramas Manuthas, who discusses all the dye colors with him and who occasionally will come in with a special request. She loves to experiment with bold color combinations, like orange and pink or apple green and aquamarine. "We have to work even harder," she says, "and go with the times if we want to survive." Then she says goodbye and speeds off to meet friends at nearby Siam Square. Unlike her weavers, she knows exactly where the city's pulse beats - and just how important it is to feel it.

Postgame Quotes | UCLA Baseball on Facebook
Photo Gallery | Postgame Press Conference | Video Recap
Los Angeles, Calif. - The top-seeded UCLA Baseball team advanced to the NCAA Los Angeles Regional Final with a 6-4 comeback victory over No. 2 seed Cal Poly on Saturday night at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
Sophomore Eric Filia led the Bruins with two hits and drove in the eventual game-winning RBI in the top of the seventh inning.
UCLA (41-17) trailed 4-0 through four innings as the designated visiting team. Cal Poly starting pitcher Matt Imhof held the Bruins hitless through the first five innings. But the Bruins got to him in the sixth, scoring four runs on three hits to tie the game.
Junior Nick Vander Tuig earned the win for UCLA, pitching six innings and allowing four runs on nine hits to improve to 11-4 on the year. Vander Tuig also recorded three strikeouts while surrendering three walks. Mustang closer Reed Reilly was charged with the loss (2-4), giving up two runs on three hits in the seventh. He finished with two innings of work, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out two and walking two. Imhof finished with 5.1 innings of work and struck out five with one walk, allowing four runs on three hits.
Freshman James Kaprielian struck out four in two hitless innings of work for UCLA. Sophomore David Berg closed the door in the ninth to earn his 20th save of the season, extending his single-season school record.
Cal Poly (40-18) struck early in the bottom of the first, starting when senior Denver Chavez got a lead-off single up the middle. Sophomore Jordan Ellis followed with a single through the left side to move Chavez to third. Ellis would later advance to second on a wild pitch. Sophomore Nick Torres then scored Chavez on a sacrifice fly to make it 1-0, and then with two down, junior Jimmy Allen doubled down the left field line to score Ellis and make it 2-0. Junior David Armendariz grounded out to short to end the inning.
The Mustangs would extend their lead to 3-0, tacking on another run in the bottom of the third inning. Mundell would start things off with a single up the middle. Torres would then draw a walk, advancing Mundell to second. After Allen's failed bunt attempt popped up to the catcher, Armendariz would single to left field, scoring Mundell, and advancing Torres to second. Torres would later advance to third after senior Elliot Stewart flied out to center. Freshman John Schuknecht would draw a two-out walk to load the bases, but Cal Poly would strand three runners as Vander Tuig got Peter Van Gansen to fly out to right field.
Chavez opened the bottom of the fourth inning with a walk and advanced to second on a wild pitch that struck out Ellis. Mundell would then ground out to the pitcher, but Torres would get his second RBI of the game with a two-out single to left field, scoring Chavez to put Cal Poly up 4-0.
The Bruins battled back in the top of the sixth inning with four runs to tie it at 4-4. Junior Pat Gallagher started things off with a double to left field before junior Brenton Allen singled through the left side, advancing Gallagher to third. Junior Brian Carroll was hit by a pitch to load the bases with nobody out. Sophomore Kevin Kramer drove in UCLA's first run on a sacrifice fly to left, scoring Gallagher. Filia singled to second base to load the bases with one out. Cal Poly turned to its closer in Reilly. He immediately looked to calm things down, striking out junior Pat Valaika, for the second out of the inning. But designated hitter, junior Kevin Williams, tied it at 4-4 with a two-out triple, scoring Filia, Carroll and Allen.
UCLA would take a 6-4 lead in the top of the seventh. Senior Cody Regis led things off with a single through the right side before Gallagher dropped a nice bunt to move Regis over to second. After Allen drew a walk on a 3-2 pitch, Carroll loaded the bases with a bunt for a single. Reilly looked like he was going to get out of the inning after striking out Kramer for the second out of the frame, but Filia singled to short, scoring Regis to make it 5-4 Bruins. Still with the bases loaded and two outs, Valaika walked on five pitches to record his first RBI of the game, scoring Allen.
Kaprielian set down all six of the batters he face in the seventh and eighth inning before Berg closed the door in the ninth to seal the 6-4 win.
The Bruins will await the winner of the 2 p.m. game on Sunday, June 2, which will feature #3 San Diego vs. #2 Cal Poly. The Regional Final game will start at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.
Game Notes: Tonight's four-run deficit is the largest the Bruins' have overcome to win a game this season (the previous high was three, accomplished in a 6-4 win at another Big West foe, UC Irvine on April 16; and again in a 7-6 win at USC on May 18)...John Savage improved to 24-14 in the postseason as UCLA's head coach...Nick Vander Tuig moved into a tie for fifth with Dave Schmidt (1977-79) on UCLA's all-time career wins list, winning career game number 24 tonight...this was also the 14th time in 16 starts this year that Vander Tuig has pitched at least six innings...David Berg has tied Gabe Sollecito (1992-93) for the most career saves in UCLA history, notching his 21st career save tonight...Berg has also passed Sollecito for the most saves in UCLA postseason history (3)...since 2010, UCLA is 14-3 in postseason games at Jackie Robinson Stadium...the Bruins are now 35-5 when scoring three or more runs in a ballgame this year.

Forty years after the Supremes first topped the record charts on their way to worldwide fame, some of the distinctive gowns that became nearly as famous made their debut at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, in partnership with original Supreme Mary Wilson.
Reflections: The Mary Wilson Supreme Legacy Collection, an exhibit that featured more than 50 Supremes costumes and rare memorabilia, opened on Wednesday, April 28, 2004. The exhibit celebrated the 40th anniversary of the trio's first Number One hit, "Where Did Our Love Go." This song was the first of five straight Number One hits that established the Supremes as Motown's most popular act and the most successful girl group of all time.
The Supremes, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988, were known for their glamorous and sophisticated style with costumes that were a visual delight covered in chiffon, sequins, beads, fringe, rhinestones and feathers. The collection included the first gowns purchased by Wilson, Diana Ross and Florence Ballard when they were still known as the Primettes; a set of black velvet Bob Mackie gowns worn on the GIT on Broadway television special in 1969; outfits worn on the Supremes' television specials and featured on album covers; and those from their 1977 Farewell Performance. One set of dresses included a loose-fitting maternity outfit worn by Wilson while she was pregnant.
"We've been visiting the Rock Hall for three years, about two times per year. Your displays are fabulous and we learn something new each time we're here...It's even allowing us to teach our 9-year-old son about all music...So do we think it's worth a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Dayton, Ohio in the pouring rain? You bet! Rock on." "Wow - This is the music of our lives. This place is awesome - extremely impressive. We grew up on Alan Freed, Bandstand and Cousin Brucie. Keep up the good work - we'll be back."

National Competitiveness, Scalability of International Value Chains and Location of Production
Global Value Chains (GVCs) have grown substantially due to the increased supply of cheap labor, growing domestic markets in developing economies, and reductions in economic barriers to international trade and transportation costs. Recently, however, GVCs have undergone dramatic changes as companies seek to improve performance in their product life-cycles, unlock untapped value, and grow in a sustainable manner. New important determinants of value chain location are emerging, such as the advantages of manufacturing proximity to demand, the importance of integrated regional markets, and the increasing competitiveness of the North. The latter is driven by the so-called "digital energy revolution", which is making US energy costs among the lowest worldwide. This conference will explore the domestic policy options for countries with different levels of income and economic endowment to attract investment and host segments of 21st century value chains in a durable and profitable way.

You can never have too many cute pincushions...can you? I like them for gifts (to sewers) too, because sometimes you will make something for someone else that you might not ever get around to making for yourself.
I knew it was a new twist on an old idea...you know, that 70's mushroom craze. I think I was about 11 or 12 years old when I first became aware of the whole mushroom thing going on. Of course I was too young and too naive to know it was all about the hippie movement, and the hallucinogenic qualities that certain mushrooms produced when eaten, or maybe smoked, I'm not sure.
All I know is that back then just about everyone and their dog had mushroom decor everywhere. There were mushroom candles, mushroom wallpaper, mushroom curtains on the windows, clay mushrooms in planters, big ceramic mushrooms adorning the gardens, mushroom jewelry, you name it, there was a mushroom for it. There were psychedelic mushrooms adorning the t-shirts and posters of just about every hippie out there worth their salt.
So when I decided to look around for mushroom pincushions, I was pretty sure there would be a glut of them on the market, since there has been a bit of a 70's revival going on. And there were quite a few, but none were quite what I was looking for.
So I decided to go ahead and design my own mushroom pincushions. I tried out several styles, and came up with a set of three that I quite like.
These pictures represent my mushroom escapades: the trials and the errors. Kinda fun.
These colorful little pincushions vary from 3 1/2" to about 5 1/2" tall, and stand up quite easily by themselves. (Ithink they'd be really cute with polka dot tops too!)
Be looking for them to reappear as a free down-loadable pattern here on my blog in the very near future! Then you can use up some of your little scraps to make something useful and cute, too! It won't be too long...I just have to write up the instructions and take some pictures of the process.
No hallucinogens involved with these mushrooms... Sorry, ha-ha.
However, I'm afraid they ARE addicting!

Here are answers to some common questions about searching for files, folders, and programs.
You can also try running a troubleshooter to diagnose and fix common problems with search and indexing.
Click this button:
Fix this problem
Click Run, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
There are several ways to perform a search. One way is to type in the search box at the top of any open window or in the search box on the Start menu. When you start typing, the search begins automatically.
You can also use the Search folder:
Open Search by pressing Windows logo key
For more information about searching, see Find a file or folder.
If you can't find a file, you can expand your search to include different locations. For example, if you're searching for a file in the Documents library, but you're not sure where the file is stored, you can search across all of your libraries or your entire computer. Here's how:
In the search box at the top of the open window, start typing.
Scroll to the bottom of the list of search results. Under Search again in, do one of the following:
Click Libraries to search across every library.
Click Computer to search across your entire computer. (This way you can search for files that aren't indexed, such as system or program files, but remember that the search will be slower.)
Click Custom to search specific locations.
Click Internet to search online using your default web browser and your default search provider.
Windows uses the index to perform very fast searches of the most common types of files on your computer. Instead of looking through your entire hard disk for a file name or property, Windows scans the index.
If you're searching in locations that aren't indexed, the search might be slow because Windows must inspect each file in those locations during the search. You can add those locations to the index to speed up future searches. For more information, see Improve Windows searches using the index: frequently asked questions.
To see the complete list of locations that are indexed, or to add locations to the index, open Indexing Options.
Open Indexing Options by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type indexing options, and then click Indexing Options.
The indexed locations are displayed in the Index these locations list.
When you include a folder in a library, it's automatically added to the index. For more information, see Include folders in a library.
For privacy reasons, only your own files are added to the index, and so by default, Windows won't search files belonging to other users on your computer.
It means that the location you're searching isn't indexed. Normally, you get search results quickly because the search includes only the locations on your computer that are indexed. If you change the locations that are being searched, or if you open a folder that's not in the index and search there, the search will take longer. Searches outside of the index only look for files by file name, but index searches also look for file contents and an assortment of file properties. If you frequently see this message when searching a specific location on your computer, you should add that location to the index. For more information, see Improve Windows searches using the index: frequently asked questions.
It means that the files are still being indexed. To perform fast and accurate searches, Windows collects information about files on your computer. This information is stored in the index. Periodically, Windows needs to update the index. If you perform a search while the index is being updated, the results might be out of date.
There's a problem searching one or more of your selected locations. Usually that's because you've selected a network location or a device that's not currently connected to your computer. It's also possible that you've selected a removable media device with no media (such as a memory card or a CD) in the device. Check your locations, and then try the search again.

Dear experts,
I am a new user of PLASMA (and linear algebra packages in general). I am trying to compute an inverse (and log(det)) of big positive definite matrices as fast as possible on one computer with (eventually multi) GPUs.
I compute 24576 X 24576 matrix using 16 6144 X 6144 tiles. I now use MKL to compute dpotrf, dtrsm, dgemm etc. of the 6144 X 6144 matrix. I would eventually send them off to GPUs using CUBLAS/CULA/MAGMA.
I am testing plasma_dpotrf_tile_async and plasma_dpotri_tile_async to do this. For now I want to use only one thread of plasma but want to use multi-core in mkl routines for testing my idea.
When I set to plasma cores to one, it seems mkl also do not use threads. (I observe it with top going only to 100%).
When I set to plasma cores to 6, during the first dpotrf call, top gets to 600% but when three trsm starts, it becomes 300%. I take each trsm is using 100% of a core.
I looked around the affinity code...
I wonder how I can control number of plasma threads and MKL threads independently and achieve what I want to do.
Thank you for help.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kim517 Chair size makes it very versatile. I purchased a pair of these dining room chairs for my small living room, where larger chairs would have taken up too much room. They fit the space perfectly and look beautiful. I have a desk in the room and can easily move one of the chairs to sit at the desk. And, I'll be able to use them at the dining room table when we need more seating. I found them exactly as other reviewers had said: easy to assemble, comfortable, sturdy, and delivered much quicker than I expected. The fabric is very well matched where it meets at the sides and back, which surprised me in a chair of this price. February 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PJ2014 Beautiful, high quality chairs I was amazed when these chairs arrived. They are large, comfortable, and extremely well-made. I wish now I had bought more. These are in my eat-in kitchen area right next to my family room and will also be used as extra seating for guests since they are so comfy. I used to not use my table and now I realize why---the cute and funky bentwood chairs are uncomfortable! But these are SO comfortable and stylish and I am thrilled with my purchase. And the price is great even with the extra shipping, as I am 2 hours from the nearest World Market store. I couldn't be any happier with my purchase!! January 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BE84 Great Chairs Got two of these chairs for the head chairs of my dining room table. They are great. Very easy to assemble (legs only that can be found in the zipped pouch underneath the chair). Had no issues with sturdiness once it was assembled. Very comfortable and unique. December 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bgirl1913 Delightful Dining Chair! Just received my chairs for my dining table! I am overjoyed with my purchase. I have wanted this chair since the spring. The fabric has more beige then the photo shows, which is perfect for my new dining room. I love cyber-Monday, purchased Monday and received today! Thanks World Market, we need you in Macon, Georgia! December 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by msdiatis Love my chairs! I bought 6 Hayden dining chairs for my breakfast nook table, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The chairs are high quality, sturdy, and very comfy! November 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Angela I love my dining chairs! I love my new hayden dining chairs. These chairs are well made for the money and look quite expensive. The detail and pattern on this chair is unique and one of a kind and really makes my dining room a show piece. I usually don't write reviews for products, but I wanted other consumers to know that this is a great product and at a great value. Thanks World Market!! Keep bringing the great products to us!

Francisco Peguero - San Francisco Giants Top Prospect - Vol. 1
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 14 June 2011 17:32
Francisco Peguero - CF
Scouting Trips:
Born: June 1, 1988 Bats: Right
Francisco Peguero is a player who can do a little bit of everything. His best tools are his speed and ability to hit for average. His speed helps tremendously in the outfield where he typically plays CF or RF. Peguero steps up to bat ready to hit and has above average power for a guy his size - 5-11' - 190 llbs. During the 2009 and 2010 seasons he hit over .325 at the lower levels of the minor leagues for the Giants and Baseball America rated him the #4 prospect in the organization to start 2011. Peguero was hurt to start the season and that kept him out until June. I finally got a chance to see Peguero play during his first few games back in '11 at the Single A affiliate of the Giants - San Jose. His speed is noticeable - and he can beat out hits that players with average to above average speed cannot. Peguero isn't the biggest guy in the world - but he makes loud contact - and I saw him hit a deep HR that was a no-doubter off his bat. In the outfield he didn't have much of a problem but I did notice he took a couple funny routes to balls - and there are some in the organization that think he is better served in RF.
Where Peguero ends up by the end of June is anyone's guess. He has not ever played at AA or higher, but I almost think the Giants might skip AA with him and let him go straight to AAA Fresno. In over 1,600 AB's in 5+ minor league seasons he has a career average of .312. He is still only 23 years old and I guess there is an outside chance he makes it all the way to San Francisco in 2011 as a September call-up. Expect Peguero to compete for the CF or RF job in S.F. in 2012 or 2013. The Giants have another speedy CF top prospect in Gary Brown - so they might work in Peguero at multiple OF spots as Brown profiles more as a true CF.
2010 Bowman Chrome Baseball featured prospect cards and autographs of the budding Giants star and prices have been modest in 2011 because of his injury. Now that he is healthy and could potentially move up the farm system quickly - expect savvy Giants fans to purchase their fair share of Peguero cards as he will most certainly get a shot to play in the big leagues at some point sooner rather than later.

Congratulations, Team Catholic Charities, for successfully finishing the ING New York City Marathon while raising crucial funds for New Yorkers in need!
First-time marathon runner and Leprechaun Transportation Group President Ed Gallagher came in first for Team Catholic Charities, crossing all five boroughs from Staten Island to Manhattan in just three hours and 42 minutes. He was followed by Jason Hamed, Joe Zenkus, Fr. Joseph Tyrrell, Thomas Carney, Julie Palombo, Jerome Prostasio and Ma Teresa Prostasio.
The runners raised $25,000 for Catholic Charities' St. Nicholas Project to provide coats, blankets and other essential items during the winter months and year round.
The donations they made by soliciting supporters and sweating up and down city streets prove particularly crucial now as New Yorkers' need grows while safety nets are cut. Congress slashed food stamp allotments by approximately 5-percent on Friday. In New York, more than 1 million elderly people or those with disabilities will feel the impact, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
To thank Team Catholic Charities runners for their hard-earned donations, Msgr. Kevin Sullivan met with Team Catholic Charities runners at a luncheon organized by one of Catholic Charities dedicated and generous trustees.
"I was impressed by the enthusiasm of the runners for running," Msgr. Sullivan said on his blog."I was also impressed that they were willing to reach out to their friends and family to ask for contributions to provide help for families in need through Catholic Charities."
Thank you!

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Herbs
Seed Catalog Savvy
by Kathy Bond Borie
Long before the soil warms and frost ceases its nightly visits, spring takes root in the minds of gardeners. The first seed catalog arrives full of the promise of summer and the temptation of varieties untried. Then the next catalog arrives with new promises, and the next, and so on, and soon the dining table is lost under the piles of beckoning catalogs and there's little room to eat. No bother, there's little time to eat anyway, with so much reading to do, gardens to be planned, and seeds to be ordered. The time has come to make some decisions.
This article is written with the overstimulated and slightly confused gardener in mind. Here are some tips to help you evaluate the differences between catalog companies, to read between the lines of catalog and seed packet descriptions, and to accurately interpret variety information so you can choose the best plants for your garden.
Whatever tickles your fancy
All seed catalogs have distinct personalities, which is part of the reason why they are so enjoyable to read. The Pepper Gal catalog evokes the taste of spicy salsa and the image of strands of vibrant red chilies hanging in the kitchen. Howard Dill's Pumpkin Guide tempts gardeners to plan a new pumpkin patch so they can grow their own 500-pound granddaddy of giant pumpkins. If you think all garlic is created equal, the Filaree Farm catalog will dispel that notion with its descriptions of the nearly 90 different strains it offers. These and other specialty catalogs, such as Ronniger's Seed & Potato Company, Totally Tomatoes, and Vermont Bean Seed Company, are practically minicourses on their particular crops.
Similarly, regional catalogs cater to gardeners living in certain parts of the country. Vesey's, in Maine, offers seed adapted to cold climates and shorter growing seasons. Territorial Seed Company produces one catalog for the Northwest, another for the rest of the U.S., and a third for Canada. Kilgore's Florida Planting Guide is one of the few specifically written for just one state.
Then there are the "something-for-everyone" catalogs such as Burpee, Ferry-Morse, Harris, Henry Field, Gurney's, Park Seed, and Stokes that offer a wealth of flowers, vegetables, and landscape plants. These catalogs often feature sections devoted to heirlooms or specialty packages, such as an annual everlastings garden and a butterfly-attracting garden, with garden designs plus seeds.
Putting the pictures in perspective
Buying seed is unlike any other type of shopping because you cannot see exactly what you are buying. It's a fantasy business. You are purchasing the promise of a butterfly garden or of an 8-foot-tall burgundy sunflower. With photos, illustrations, or descriptive words, the seed company tries to help you picture what you will be getting when the plants mature.
Photos, especially of flowers, stimulate the senses and trigger the "I have to have this" response. Photos are the most useful when they show you something you haven't seen before. Everyone knows what a ripe red tomato looks like, but "Whirligig Hybrids" zinnias are new to many.
However, images can be misleading. Our gardens often don't produce anything as picture perfect as what we see in catalogs. Our plants will be battered by wind, rain, and insects. Some colors, such as certain blues, are difficult to reproduce in catalogs, and color can vary according to the type of printing process and paper used. The same variety of morning glory may appear to be different colors in different catalogs. Photos also can make a tiny flower look much larger and showier. I've succumbed to this "photo illusion" on more than one occasion.
