OpenSolaris 2008.11
By Tirthankar on Dec 19, 2008
At last OpenSolaris 2008.11 got released officially on the 10th of December. I have been playing with the release candidate build for quite some time on VirtualBox. Finally I installed it on my laptop.
The first things which really impressed me were the new installer screenshots. They looked lively and fresh. After the installation was over, the wireless and the sound worked flawlessly. I had to install the Marvel Youkon driver myself. The Firefox which came did not come with the flash plugin which I had to install myself. Then I tried downloading packages from the IPS repository. I downloaded OpenOffice 3.0, Netbeans 6.5 and SunStudio Express and SongBird. Now I have a fully functional desktop.
I am yet to try out the new features like Time Slider and some other cool features but you can view the video on the new features of OpenSolaris at http://blogs.sun.com/observatory/entry/screencast_what_s_new_in
Happy exploring OpenSolaris 2008.11

OHAC Logo
By Tirthankar on Sep 04, 2008
The OHAC community is more than a year old and we still do not have a logo. There are some advantages of not having one. Well you can put almost anything. The freedom to choose the presentation background I guess is the most appealing to me. I have mostly used the OpenSolaris.org presentation slide template made by Chandan I use the Orange and Blue colours used on the OpenSolaris website for Open HA Cluster. Its short, sweet and simple and can be easily inserted in different types of presentations and other material. Others in OHAC community members use other colors to spell Open HA Cluster. All the diversity is fun.
Marcelo proposed in the OHAC community about a logo and below are some of the logos created by Piotr.
I liked number 3, 4 and 6. But I feel that these logos should be used for T Shirts. A more appropriate logo for the community would be something real small with a little picture. The Aquarium blog hosts a number of logos. Its a good place to get some ideas on what could be the OHAC community logo.
You can read about the logo discussion here.
Marcelo's blog on OHAC logo is here.
If you come across more OHAC related logos, please feel free to paste the link as a comment on this blog.

BOJUG meet at Thoughtworks
By Tirthankar on Sep 03, 2008
Last Saturday was the first BOJUG meet at Thoughtworks Bangalore. Me and Amit went together. This was the first time that both of us would attend outside Chambers. As usual I was the photographer
Vaibhav talking on JavaFX preview SDK
Satish talked about Beans Binding and validation
This meet was more than three and a half hours, but it was real worth.
Vaibhav gave a talk on JavaFX preview SDK. It was a real cool
presentation. Satish talked about Beans Binding and Validation. This
went right over my head as my Java knowledge is very very limited, I am
almost an odd one out there Sriram talked about Tomcat internals.
This was interesting as I was planning to fiddle around with Tomcat.
BOJUG Gang
Finally, I took the group pictures. Many of the attendees are not in the picture. They had already left. Three and a half hours is kind of tiresome with a hungry stomach.

By Tirthankar on Aug 03, 2008
The first batch of Sun India CA induction program for 2008 was held last week at MSRIT, Bangalore. This was just after the Bangalore bomb blasts but thankfully all the CA's and organizers turned up. I had gone there as the unofficial photographer, interacting with the CA's and organizers.

OHAC group in sunambassadors
By Tirthankar on Aug 01, 2008
A few days back, I got invited to join the Sun Campus Ambassadors social networking site. The entry is by invitation only and restricted to Sun CA's and employees (mostly involved with the University Program or the CA program).
After signing up, I created a group for OHAC and am happily surprised to see 10 people joining the group and its not 24 hours yet. Hopefully more CA's will sign up and learn about clustering and high availability and work on OHAC projects.
The OHAC group is at http://www.sunambassadors.com/group/haclusters

BOJUG meet on July 26
By Tirthankar on Jul 26, 2008
Yesterday Bangalore was rocked by a number of bomb blasts. Today we had a BOJUG meet. I was not even sure how many people would turn up but thankfully about 10 people were there. I was happy to see the brave souls who did not let yesterdays violent incident affect their lives.
Sriram gave a talk on "Continuous Integration - What you need to know before implementing it". It was a very interesting talk on software development and how a little bit of discipline could help in producing bug free software. A lot of the stuff is already known, but not followed. I hope one day it is followed in my team. Hopefully we will then stop having those inadvertent build failures and regressions.
And now the surprise. I also gave a talk on Solaris features. Since Sriram was late, I was filling in. I gave a talk on Solaris history and features and told people how many of the server grade features are becoming necessary for the desktops. One day I will give a more Java related talk here. Lets see how it goes.
Many of you always wanted to see me in a BOJUG or BOSUG group picture. You can see me above. Anil took the picture above.
And heres the group picture taken by me which has Anil.
As I write this blog, news is floating in of serial blasts in Ahmedabad. I really do not understand who is gaining from all this but the poor and innocent people are the ones who are suffering.
You can read about the June BOJUG meet here.

SAO PAULO (AP) — American architect Gil Hanse will design the 2016 Olympic golf course in Rio de Janeiro.
Organizers announced on Wednesday that Hanse Golf Design was selected over seven other finalists, including Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Gary Player and Robert Trent Jones II.
Hanse will team up with Hall of Fame player Amy Alcott to build the first Olympic golf course in more than 100 years, with the sport making its return after being dropped following the 1904 St. Louis Games.
The announcement by Rio 2016 organizers was made at the site where the new course will be built, in the Barra da Tijuca neighborhood, which will hold most of the Olympic venues.

This book looks great David!! The pictures are so beautiful. Your photographs of flowers are what introduced me to you. I remember thinking that your pictures are the way I see the flowers I have grown in my garden. I couldn't read the poems because the type is too small but I recognize the titles! Speaking of titles that's a great one.
Congratulations on a very nice book!!!

I took a hpt yesterday and it was negative. But I'm starting to look bloated. I had a little bit of blood in my underwear a couple days ago and my hormones have been going crazy these last two weeks.

My husband and I used a condom when he is almost finished at the end but not the whole time we are having sex.
ETA: I am 7 weeks pp and I have had sex 5 or 6 times since 4 weeks pp. Did anyone experience symptoms like this?

Fri., May 5 #1 Washington 6 p.m. Sat., May 6 #3 UCLA 6 p.m. Sun., May 7 #3 UCLA 1 p.m.This Week: The second-ranked Arizona softball team (47-7 overall, 10-4 Pac-10) returns home for the first time in a month to face top-ranked Washington (50-5, 12-2) on Fri., May 5 at 6 p.m. and No. 3 UCLA (35-8-1, 10-4) on Sat., May 6 at 6 p.m. and Sun., May 7 at 1 p.m. The Wildcats have suffered four losses to the Huskies this season, two of which were Pac-10 games last month in Seattle. The UA defeated UCLA, 6-4, in their only meeting of the season. The Wildcats and Bruins are tied for second place in the Pac-10 standings, two games behind Washington.
Special Ceremonies: This weekend's games will feature a couple of special ceremonies. First, Arizona will retire the jersey number of Jenny Dalton prior to Saturday's game. Dalton, a three-time first-team All-America second baseman for the Cats from 1993 to 1996, was the winner of the 1996 Honda Softball Award as National Player of the Year after leading UA to its fourth NCAA Championship. Sunday will be Senior Day as the Wildcats say goodbye to their three seniors, Lindsay Robinson, Katie Swan and Chrissy Gil.
About Washington: The Huskies have a current three-game winning streak since dropping a 1-0 loss to UCLA on April 22, and have won 13 of their last 14 games. UW last weekend set a school mark with its quickest start to 50 wins. Jamie Graves was named the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week for her two wins last weekend against Cal and Stanford in which she allowed one run in 14 innings and struck out 13 batters. She is joined by Jennifer Spediacci and the two have a combined 0.62 ERA. In addition, the Huskies have the top home run hitter in the league in Jenny Topping (19 homers).
About UCLA: The Bruins completed a season sweep of Cal last weekend, but are just 4-3 since losing to the UA on April 14, including a split with Washington. UCLA is led by Natasha Watley who is batting .407 and has stolen 22 bases on the season. Pitcher Amanda Freed was named the NFCA National Player of the Week after UCLA's split with UW two weeks ago. She pitched 12 of a possible 13 innings and led the team with a .429 batting average. The Bruins are 7-1 in Pac-10 road games this season. Their only loss was a 3-1 decision at Washington.
UA Sweeps Oregon After Rain-Out: After its game with Oregon State was rained out last Friday, the UA completed a season sweep of Oregon with a pair of shutouts. Jennie Finch allowed only three hits in the 2-0 victory on Sunday. Toni Mascarenas drove in Lauren Bauer for the first run in the third, while Allison Andrade singled up the middle to drive in Chrissy Gil for the insurance run in the seventh. Becky Lemke fanned 12 batters and threw her fourth one-hitter of the season on Saturday, while Andrade's seventh homer of the year provided the game's only run. The UA's game against Oregon State will not be made up unless it has a bearing on the Pac-10 Champion.
Arizona vs. California on Fox Sports: The Wildcats will conclude the regular season with a doubleheader against California on Sat., May 13 that will be televised live by Fox Sports at 1 p.m. MST.
National Fastpitch Coaches Association Poll
Arizona has not budged from the No. 2 spot in the NFCA coaches poll all season. Pac-10 schools occupy the top three spots in the rankings and all eight teams are ranked. Washington is No. 1 followed by Arizona and UCLA. ASU is fourth, California is No. 9, followed by Stanford at No. 10, No. 12 Oregon State and No. 16 Oregon. The poll is available online at www.nfca.org. Arizona has been in the national rankings every single period since 1990.
Arizona in the Pac-10
With all eight softball teams in the rankings, conference games have been more difficult than normal. The Cats are batting just .270 in Pac-10 games, compared to a .338 team batting average overall. Jennie Finch and Katie Swan have been more productive in Pac-10 play than overall. Finch leads the team with a .389 (14-for-36) average in conference action and is batting .365 overall. Swan is hitting .364 (16-for-44) in the Pac-10 and .347 overall.
Swinging for the Fences
This Arizona squad has upheld the Wildcat tradition of socking balls out of the yard as seven Cats have hit the long ball this season. Jennie Finch leads the team with 14 home runs, while Lindsey Collins (12) is second on the team. Alison Andrade (7), Chrissy Gil (5), Toni Mascarenas (4), Lauren Bauer (2) Nicole Giordano (1) and Katie Swan (1) have each joined the fun for a team total of 46. The Cats have hit just six homers in 14 conference games. Cats in the National Rankings Four Wildcats are listed among the national statistical leaders in six categories:
Batting 9. Nicole Giordano .445 Home Runs 17. Jennie Finch 0.26 avg/game RBI 23. Lindsey Collins 0.93 avg/game ERA 10. Jennie Finch 0.70 Strikeouts per 7 inn. 7. Becky Lemke 9.4 Victories 9. Becky Lemke 25Arizona also leads the nation in team batting average (.338) and fielding percentage (.979). The Wildcats are fifth in team ERA (0.95) and ninth in average scoring with 6.09 runs per game. The UA also has the fourth-best winning pct. (.870) in the nation.
Special "K"
By fanning 12 Oregon batters last weekend, Becky Lemke set a new single-season school strikeout mark. She has recorded 262 strikeouts on the season, which surpasses Susie Parra's 256 K's in 1993. Nancy Evans came close to the record in 1998 with 255 strikeouts. Lemke now has 660 career strikeouts - good for third place on the school charts behind Evans with 733. Parra tops the list with 874 career K's. Lemke also struck out a school-record 19 batters in a no-hitter against BYU on March 11.
Notes from Left Field
Nicole Giordano leads the Pac-10 with 81 hits on the season and has 252 career hits, which places her eighth among the UA's all-time hits leaders... Lauren Bauer leads the league with 29 stolen bases in 31 attempts. She is in fourth place on the school charts with 86 career stolen bases... Arizona can boast the longest winning streak of the season in the Pac-10. The Cats won 34 consecutive games from Feb. 6 through March 19... The Cats are 3-1 on the season in extra-inning affairs, 1-1 in Pac-10 games... In 54 games, the Wildcats have 483 hits for a team batting average of .338. The team is averaging 8.94 hits per game and has been held to less than five hits just seven times this season... The UA has outscored its opponents 329-55 on the season for an average score of 6.1-1.0. Opponents have scored three or more runs just six times this season and in five of the last ten games... Toni Mascarenas leads the team with 14 doubles, while Alison Andrade has 13. Five Cats have ten or more doubles and the team has 80 doubles on the season... Arizona is 4-3 on the road in Pac-10 play and 6-1 at home.
Armed and Dangerous
Arizona's pitchers have dominated the opposition in recent years and this season is no exception... Junior Becky Lemke and sophomore Jennie Finch have combined to allow just 47 earned runs in 347 innings spanning 54 games...They have combined to pitch four no-hitters on the season (two apiece). The last time a pair of Arizona pitchers threw no-hitters in the same season was when Carrie Dolan and Nancy Evans each threw two during the 1995 season... Finch has an ERA of 0.70, while Lemke has a 1.14 ERA... Finch's ERA against the Pac-10 is 1.47, while Lemke has a 2.33 ERA in conference play. They have a combined 434 strikeouts (including two by Teresa Ayoub). They are fast approaching the single-season team record of 451... Lemke is fourth on the UA all-time victories list with a 79-15 record in almost three seasons.
Do Unto Others...
Jennie Finch has managed to do to opposing pitchers what opposing batters have been unable to do to her - get big hits. Finch leads the team with 14 home runs and has 45 RBI, but she has yet to homer in Pac-10 play... She threw two no-hitters within a week of each other (vs. Tennessee Tech on 2/18 and vs. Drake on 2/25) and the latter was her first career perfect game... She also has three one-hitters on the season.
Pac-10 Weekly Honors
Jennie Finch was named the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week for Feb. 23-29 for her performance at the Bama Bash. It was her second honor of the year. She was also named the Player of the Week Feb. 29 after hitting .643 (9-for-14), including 12 RBI, four home runs, and nine runs scored at the Wildcat Invitational... Additionally, Becky Lemke won Pitcher of the Week honors Feb. 15 for her performance at the Fiesta Bowl Classic, where she had a 3-0 decision over then-No. 3 Fresno State.
Arizona Coach Mike Candrea
In his 15th season at Arizona, Candrea carries a record of 766-160 (.826). He is the active and all-time winningest Division I coach by percentage and in the top 10 in victories. Last season, Candrea became the eighth Division I coach in history to win 700 games. His players have earned 49 All-America honors and six Academic All-America honors, plus he has coached three players to the Honda Softball Award as national player of the year. He has taken the Wildcats to the College World Series the past 12 consecutive years and has reached the NCAA Championship game in eight of the last 10 seasons.

GCC SG: Confession of conspiracy to kill Saudi Ambassador a serious development
October 19, 2012
Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani has characterized the guilty plea of Manssor Arbabsiar, an Iranian-born American citizen, in the plot to assassinate Saudi Ambassador to the United States Adel A. Al-Jubeir as a serious development. Speaking in Riyadh, Dr. Al-Zayani said that the admission of guilt has helped unveil a foiled criminal conspiracy and shed light on the identities of those involved. Condemning the attempted terrorist act, he cited the laws and humanitarian values that prohibit the targeting of diplomats.

Florida Panthers: Panthers' Season Wrap-Up on FS Florida
Some of you would just as soon forget this past Panthers' season as they failed to make the playoffs again. I don't blame you. But for those who were encouraged by the team's 41 wins — tied for second most in franchise history – and 93 points (second in franchise history), there's another chance to look back on the season.
Fox Sports Florida will air it's 30-minute Florida Panthers Post-Season Special this Saturday, May 2 at 5:30 p.m. It will feature interviews with several players as well as coach Pete DeBoer and it'll include a more in-depth segment about center Stephen Weiss.

The pics I've taken below were shot quickly just to illustrate the point that even without expensive equipment it is still possible to get relatively decent shots. Had I taken a little more time, used a tripod, a couple of lights, I could have had far sharper pics. But the whole idea was that if I was a novice, there is still a way to get suitable pics for posting on the forum. They are uncropped and the only adjustment was the contrast setting.

I'm checking the stats of a busy site that host mirror downloads. I installed vnstat on the machine and after a few days i saw the number
125.25 Mbit/s or using
-ru 0
15.29 MiB/s
I'm extremely confused. How is this possible? I assume he is on a 100mbps connection. He doesnt know his hosting stats. When looking at numbers i suspect MiB (the # seen using -ru 0) is 1000*1000 as oppose to 1024*1024. Ok but even if i do ((value*1000*1000)/1024)/1024 then *8 to get bits rather then bytes the result is still > 100Mbps (it was 116). Confused i googled. I found this wiki page and saw it meant 100mbps down and 50 up. Fantastic it makes sense.
Then i double check by doing -h and using the tx number * 1000 to get the # of bytes (it said KiB rather then Kib so i assume the number is bytes). Then i did /1024(for KB)/1024(MB) and then *8 for bits. The number was >100 (it was close to 150). The rx speed was insignificant (<1mbp).
How the heck is the network going so fast? Does this mean he has a connection >100mbps? I havent heard of that and heard of ISP buying speeds in 100mbps chucks. Is there some reason the number is so high? The server is running apache with php support. Its nothing special.

The 6-foot-3 guard from Knoxville, who has suffered two torn ACLs and a broken wrist during his three years as a student-athlete, appeared in 78 games for the Bulldogs, drawing 33 starts. In a span of two years, however, the rash of injuries forced him to miss a total of 19 games
For his career, he averaged 8.0 points and 2.0 rebounds while dishing out 72 assists.
"What Jalen has experienced with injuries has been extremely unfortunate," MSU coach Rick Ray said. "He's battled through a lot of adversity, and it's important we do everything we can to support and help him earn his degree from Mississippi State."
The Bulldogs begin practice on Sept. 30 and open the regular season on Nov. 8 at Humphrey Coliseum against Prairie View A&M.

Digital photography is more popular than film photography. As such, most photographers use digital cameras to record images on SD, SDHC and CompactFlash cards. These photographers usually print images on ink-jet printers. (Photographers can purchase such cameras and storage media at Central Camera in Chicago. Storage media is also available at Chicago-land stores such as Best Buy, CVS, Walgreens and Wal-Mart.) Some photographers/ darkroom enthusiasts still print images on paper using darkroom enlargers. Beseler, Bogen, Leitz and Omega were the usual, enlarger manufacturers, but it is unlikely that these manufacturers still produce such equipment. (Darkroom enthusiasts can sometimes find enlargers at garage sales and Chicago-land, thrift shops.)
There are two types of darkroom enlargers—condensers and diffusers. Condensers condense the lamp's light, thereby, reducing exposure times. Diffusers diffuse the lamp's light, thereby, increasing exposure times. Condenser enlargers are probably more common.
Darkroom enthusiasts (novice and experienced) should know the main, enlarger parts in case they need to make repairs, and are unable to find manuals. The following are the main parts for a diffuser enlarger:
o Baseboard
o Bellows
o Color-White Light Selector (on Light/Filter Housing)
o Column
o Column Spring
o Column Support
o Enlarging Lens
o Focusing Knob
o Height Adjustment Lever & Lock
o Housing Elevation Lever (for inserting negative carrier)
o Lamp
o Lamp/Filter Housing
o Light Diffusing Chamber
o Negative Carrier
o Power Supply
The paper limit size for home darkroom enlargers is 16 (in.) x 20 (in.). Enlargers cannot elevate high enough to create larger sizes. Developing trays and developing drums cannot contain larger, paper sizes.
At some photo supply stores, black & white and color paper are available for darkroom enthusiasts. Black & white paper and the appropriate chemicals are easier to find than finding color paper and its chemicals. (After mixing, chemicals expire within two months. If you refrigerate paper, they can be usable for a much longer time.)
Someday, darkroom enlargers may be in photography museums. However, since they are still in circulation, it is wise to know how this photographic equipment operates. Darkroom enlargers can create unique prints for art exhibits.
Enlarger Baseboard
Photographers place easels on enlarger baseboards. Baseboards are always white, and consist of painted wood. Using horizontal and vertical blades, easels hold photographic paper. Baseboards are usually large enough to support 16 (in.) x 20 (in.) paper and easels of the same size.
Enlarger Bellows
Enlargers' bellows expand and contract when photographers adjust focusing knobs. Most bellows are black plastic. These bellows have positions below the main housing. These bellows will not suck in or expel air.
Enlarger Column
Enlarger columns support all enlarger parts except the column support and baseboard. Aluminum is usually these columns', construction material. If darkroom enthusiasts frequently use these columns, they should frequently oil them with mineral oil.
Enlarger Column Spring
Enlarger column springs apply tension to the height adjustment levers so that darkroom enthusiasts can easily raise and lower the light assemblies. This spring sits at the columns' tops. For this enlarger, attachments are with 3, small screws.
Enlarger Column Supports
This diffusion enlarger has 2 parts as its column supports. Four bolts and 4 nuts firmly attach these supports to the baseboard. The enlarger column goes into the space between the attached supports.
Enlarger Lens
Enlarger lenses are always smaller than digital camera lenses. Usually, the smallest f-stop is f16. These lenses screw into the housing near the focusing knob.
Focusing Knob
Focusing knobs provide fine focusing for the enlarger lenses. Darkroom enthusiasts should focus under white light. This knob rotates clockwise and counterclockwise.
Height Adjustment Lever and Lock
Rolling along the column, this part makes large, up and down adjustments according to the papers' sizes. For 16 (in.) x 20 (in.) paper, this lever will go to the columns top. Photographers apply the lock by folding the extended handle inward.
Housing Elevation Lever
This part lowers and raises the hinged, housing part so that darkroom enthusiasts can place negative carriers. Using a projecting peg, this lever can hold the hinged housing in the open position.
Enlarger Lamp
Enlarger lamps are essential to expose paper to light. Unless darkroom enthusiasts constantly keep these lights on unnecessarily, they will last several years.
Lamp-Filter Housing
In diffusion enlargers, this housing holds the adjustable, cyan, yellow and magenta filters; the lamp, and the light diffusion chamber. Exterior dials indicate the amount of selected, cyan, yellow and magenta.
Light Diffusion Chamber
Inside the lamp-filter housing, this chamber faces the lamp and filters, and has a position above the enlarger lens and bellows. Photographers can move the plastic bottom to clean out its interior.
Negative Carrier
This is where photographers place film strips. After placement, using the housing elevation lever, photographers raise the hinged housing to place the film in line with the lens. Then, they must lower the hinged housing so that light does not leak out the sides.
Enlarger Power Supply
For all diffusion enlargers to operate, power supplies must be connected to the lamp/filter housings using a slender cord. These units also have power cords that plug into wall electrical sockets.
White Light-Color Light Selector
This selector will project either white light or color light onto the baseboard. This lever is part of the lamp/filter housing. (Condensor enlargers may also have this lever)

"It's a pretty good school," said O'Connor, "so when you try to target areas of improvement, it's tough to find those things to improve that can be measured."
After five years as an Assistant Principal at PCHS followed by 10 years as a principal at Treasure Mountain Junior High, O'Connor became the Principal at PCHS last year.
Given his friendly and welcoming demeanor, it is no surprise that O'Connor's favorite part of the school year is getting to interact with his students in the hallways, before and after school, and at lunch. Nevertheless, making sure PCHS continues to be a top-notch education facility is his main objective.
PCHS is ranked No. 397 on Newsweek's list of America's Best High Schools in 2013, and O'Connor plans to keep improving with the help of the school's full-time educators.
"I feel like I've gotten to know the faculty better, and we've built some trust over the last year," said O'Connor. "We can attempt to put our school improvement plan in place and implement that."
A few primary objectives of the plan are: attempting to close the achievement gap between the Caucasian and Latino students in the school and continuing to increase access to technology.
O'Connor is also hopeful for the Sheltered Instruction Observational Protocol (SIOP) method implemented at the high school.
The Park City Center for Advanced Professional Studies (PCCAPS) Program has also been integrated into the schedule at the high school, which will provide students with opportunities that a lot of them might not have ever had, according to O'Connor.
The PCCAPS program offers five different courses: Engineering, Business Strategy and Entrepreneurship, Global Business Development and Marketing, Interactive Design I-II, and Interactive Design III.
Students participating in the program attend classes at both the high school and Treasure Mountain Junior High, effectively treating the two schools like a college campus to help students transition into upper-level programs.
O'Connor also addressed the issue of large classroom sizes at the high school. While there was quite a bit of hiring done this summer, a lot of it was replacing teachers. The number of full-time educators has remained mostly the same, he said.
"We made math, science and language arts classes a priority and did our best to protect class sizes in those subjects," said O'Connor. "However, that means that the elective classes have increased in size."
The high school will not have an accurate count of students until after Labor Day, when more students will return to school after one last family summer vacation, he said. The official count will be taken Oct. 1, but so far, O'Connor said it looks like the numbers have increased, if only slightly.
School safety is another important issue. At the PCSD Board of Education meeting on Aug. 20, school safety policies were discussed. O'Connor elaborated on the policies stating that all doors at the high school will now be locked every day except for the main entrance where visitors must check in and out.
Locks on the doors have been replaced by badge swipe stations to more effectively monitor who goes in and out of the school, and more than 100 surveillance cameras surround the building.
"Locking all the doors might create an inconvenience for students and faculty who park on the opposite side of the high school from the main entrance, but it is necessary after the most recent school shootings across the country," said O'Connor.
With new safety policies in place, a bump in student enrollment, and an efficient student-learning model in place, O'Connor has nothing but a positive outlook for the new school year.
"We're going to maintain the level of rigor and achievement that the students are used to here and hopefully have some fun along the way," said O'Connor.

Where it went wrong for African teams at the World Cup
As the last of the African teams exits at the Round of 16, filmmaker and columnist Farai Sevenzo looks at the state of African football, bedevilled by the perennial problems of poor organisation, tactical indiscipline and rows over money. [BBC]
The bizarre, sad tale of Togo's fake national team
Since the attack on the Togolese national team in Angola (previously), soccer in Togo has descended into a freefall. In a strange turn of events, a fake national team recently represented the country in a tournament in Bahrain. The soccer loving people of Togo were outraged when the truth about the situation came out.
Football in Africa
Jessica Hilltout has been traveling around Africa taking pictures of matches as they are played in the continent's small villages, its players, goals, boots and balls. It is especially striking to compare that last collection to all the official World Cup balls. You can see slightly larger versions of some of Hilltout's pictures here and here.

the trouble with cabinda
Cabinda is an exclave of Angola with extensive oil fields and a troubled history. Left out of the negotiations that granted Angola independence from the Portuguese, separatist movements in Cabinda have a history nearly as long as that of modern Angola itself. These movements are in the news again, thanks to an attack on the Togolese national football team ahead of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations that has other clubs calling their players back, Cabinda losing the right to host matches, and South Africa reassuring the world that security there will be adequate ahead of this summer's World Cup.
The Economist: The World in 2010
In 2010, Obama will have a miserable year, NATO may lose in Afghanistan, the UK gets a regime change, China needs to chill, India's factories will overtake its farms, Europe risks becoming an irrelevant museum, the stimulus will need an exit strategy, the G20 will see a challenge from the "G2", African football will unite Korea, conflict over natural resources will grow, Sarkozy will be unloved and unrivalled, the kids will come together to solve the world's problems (because their elders are unable), technology will grow ever more ubiquitous, we'll all charge our phones via USB, MBAs will be uncool, the Space Shuttle will be put to rest, and Somalia will be the worst country in the world. And so the Tens begin.

Ready or Not
Ready or Not. "South Africa is a great place to have a party, and people are incredibly generous of spirit. What we should be doing is trying to make the World Cup experience uniquely African: where the bus comes 10 minutes late but nobody gives a toss because they are having such a good time. Instead, the organisers seem to want to try to run the World Cup as efficiently as the Germans did. What a load of bull. The Germans could invade Poland in three days. We could not invade Swaziland in three months." Article in today's Observer about preparations in South Africa for the soccer World Cup in 2010.
Yet another African dream.
Yet another African dream. After Cameroon's heroics of Italia '90, Senegal follow up with a quarter-final achievement themselves.

Opponents of light rail who sued the city of Vancouver for refusing to place an anti-light rail measure on the ballot now have a court date set for oral arguments.
The case will be heard by Superior Court Judge John Nichols at 1:30 p.m. July 30 at the Clark County Courthouse, 1200 Franklin St.
State initiative king Tim Eyman, who has been advising the local group, hailed the court date in an email as a "HUGE VICTORY," because the deadline for the November ballot is Aug. 6.
Attorney for the plaintiffs, Stephen Pidgeon of Everett, wants Nichols to rule that the proposed initiative "is within the scope of the initiative power as defined and declared in the Vancouver City Charter," and that the proposed language is "clear and -unambiguous."
The initiative would create a city ordinance that would prohibit any city resources from being used to extend TriMet's MAX line from Portland to Vancouver as part of the Columbia River Crossing.
In the city's response to the lawsuit, City Attorney Ted Gathe and Assistant City Attorney Linda Marousek denied the plaintiff's allegations, including that the city council "ignored" the city charter by rejecting the measure. They asked the judge to dismiss the lawsuit, declare the proposed initiative null and void, and sign an injunction to prevent plaintiffs from taking additional steps to try and get the measure on the ballot.
City attorneys also argue Pidgeon made procedural errors, such as failing to name the Vancouver City Council or members of the council as defendants.
Marousek said Wednesday she discussed the July 30 date with Pidgeon and it was "mutually agreeable."
In an email to Eyman, Pidgeon wrote that he was thrilled with the court date.
"Having the hearing on July 30th gives the judge plenty of time to issue his decision, and will be timely for the City to consider it without a first or second reading," Pidgeon wrote. "The city has tried to push this out as far as possible, so getting that particular court date is a huge victory."
The city council has a regular meeting scheduled for Aug. 5, the day before the deadline to get measures on the November ballot.
However, it is not known when Nichols will issue his ruling, and the losing side will have the right to appeal.
The lawsuit was filed May 23.
On May 6, the Vancouver City Council declined to place the initiative on the November ballot on advice of city attorneys, who said there were several problems with the proposed ordinance, such as going beyond the scope of initiative power.
The council vote was 5-2, with Mayor Tim Leavitt and Councilors Jack Burkman, Bart Hansen, Jeanne Harris and Larry Smith in the majority. Councilors Bill Turlay and Jeanne Stewart expressed frustration with the fact that voters couldn't be heard.
The plaintiffs are Larry Patella, Debbie Peterson, Ralph Peabody, Charlie Stemper, Steve Herman and Don Yingling. Patella has been soliciting donations in an effort to raise $20,000 for Pidgeon's fees. On Wednesday, he sent an email to his supporters with another plea for money.
"If you have never donated before or have previously donated to this historical effort that will return to the people their right to question and challenge in court, How, Why, When, and Where their hard earned tax dollars are spent, now is the time," Patella wrote.

Nurses don't wish ill of anyone, but when the worst happens, we want to be there.
At least some of us do – like the nurses who were on duty Nov. 5 at Scott & White Hospital in Temple, Texas, where 10 of the victims of the Fort Hood shootings were brought as soon as they could be transported.
I'm sure that for these nurses, the Food Hood incident will be one of those defining moments of their careers. They'll always remember where they were or what they were doing when the call first came that victims from the huge Army post would be arriving at their ER door.
Charge nurses and unit director Jessica Richter, RN, CEN, was hosting a baby shower for a co-worker during their break when she heard the mass-casualty call.
"Adrenaline is something ED nurses don't experience often because we do this type of work every day," she said in an interview, "but I felt it that day. Waiting for patients was agony. We just wanted to get them in here and take care of them."
"It was amazing to see how quickly we could move," ER charge nurse Lindsey Stonebrook, RN, BSN, CACP-SANE, recounted in an interview. "There were many unknowns, but you had to be ready. The first helicopter that landed with a patient made it all real."
Reading accounts of the tragedy both fascinate and scare me. And, what's more intriguing is that, according to Scott & White nurses, fear never entered their minds; they had the situation under control. There may have been some frayed nerves when it was all over, but it sounds as if the ER nurses did just what they were supposed to do. The ER was full, according to one account, so a triage team was quickly assembled to attend to less acute patients and all staff worked to get patients to their assigned rooms and clear the trauma bays. Excellent teamwork at its highest level!
Hospital security was called in and they instituted limited access to the 500-bed hospital to give ER staff every advantage and to keep the press and lookie-loos at a safe distance.
According to other nurses, the ER received and cared for these 10 victims with a process that went smoothly from beginning to end.
"I've been a nurse for 9 1/2 years, and I've never been involved in a mass casualty," Richter added. "This was something I worried about after 9/11 and working so close to an Army base. But one thing that sticks out in my mind is how well our team pulled together …"
What's the toughest situation you and your co-workers have had to face?
When the going gets tough, do your co-workers pull together?

Nurses Rise to the Occasion in Texas
Nurses don't wish ill of anyone, but when the worst happens, we want to be there.

In a effort to shore up depth at the linebacker and tight end positions, the New Orleans Saints have reached a three-year deal with unrestricted free agent tight end Benjamin Watson and a one-year deal with linebacker Ramon Humber, the team announced Monday.
Watson, 6 feet 3, 255 pounds, a former first-round draft choice of the New England Patriots in 2004, joins the Saints after a three-year stint with the Cleveland Browns.
With the Browns from 2010-2012, Watson appeared in 45 games with 41 starts. Last season, he appeared in all 16 games for the Browns with 14 starts and recorded 49 receptions for 501 yards and three touchdowns.
Watson, who has 321 receptions for 3,776 yards and 28 touchdowns in his nine seasons, is expected to be the primary backup behind Jimmy Graham.
"Blessed to continue my NFL career with Saints!" the 32-year-old Watson tweeted after signing his deal.
Before the signing of Watson, the Saints had shown interest in former Chicago Bears tight end Kellen Davis, who reportedly visited with the Saints last week but did not reach a contract agreement.
The Saints have been in search for a backup tight end this offseason after they cut ties with veteran David Thomas.
Watson joins Graham and young tight end Michael Higgins, who spent most of last season on the practice squad, to help strengthen a position that had little depth behind Graham.
Humber, who played primarily on special team last season, is versatile and can play inside or outside linebacker in the Saints' new 3-4 scheme. Last season, he appeared in 13 games and finished tied for second on the team with 14 special teams tackles.
Humber has spent the past three seasons with the Saints after entering the league as an undrafted rookie with the Indianapolis Colts in 2009.
Humber has made five starts in 47 career games while tallying of 47 tackles, one sack, one pass defense and one forced fumble. On special teams, Humber has recorded 43 career stops
Humber, who was one of the Saints' 11 unrestricted free agents, is the second of the team unrestricted free agents to re-sign with the Saints, joining special teams captain Courtney Roby, who re-signed Sunday.
The Saints have already lost three of their unrestricted free agents -- left tackle Jermon Bushrod (Bears), quarterback Chase Daniel (Chiefs) and linebacker Jonathan Casillas (Buccaneers) -- to other teams.
Six others remain unsigned: defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis, receiver Devery Henderson, linebacker Scott Shanle, cornerback Elbert Mack, defensive end Turk McBride and tackle William Robinson.
Although the Saints now have filled holes with the signings of Watson and former Pittsburgh cornerback Keenan Lewis, the New Orleans native who inked a five-year deal with the Saints on Thursday, the team still has glaring needs at left tackle, outside linebacker and backup quarterback.

The weather in Boulder has been absolutely beautiful for the past few days, and it's making me crave iced coffee on the patio, short shorts, lying on the grass, afternoon hikes, sundresses, ice-cream cones, espadrilles, warm nights, and many other similar things. Sadly, I know that I can only expect more snow before I can really whip out anything remotely like an espadrille. But no worries! Snow is still fun. And to get you (and me) extra pumped for more cold weather, I thought I'd share with you some cold weather clothing ideas and more. Get excited.
First of all, you can't wear boots in 90 degree weather, so wear yours 'till the soles come off! Believe me, by mid July, those Fryes will be looking mighty appealing.
Continue to love (and wear) all things fleece, down, and fuzzy. My Patagonia jacket is still in heavy rotation and it's pretty cute. Can't wear that down to the creek come June.
Cold weather means covering up, which means you can eat more ice cream and Girl Scout cookies (they got me at King Supers - I couldn't help myself). Bikini, what bikini?
And finally, spring snow means an excuse to score killer snow gear on sale. Up side? You'll be able to wear it before next year.
So, yay! Winter is still here and you've got plenty of reasons to be excited. Plus, Spring really is just around the corner. I promise.

We are the voice of California's economic development incentive programs.
California's Enterprise Zone program was established in 1984 to stimulate business investment in depressed areas of the State and create job opportunities for Californians. Today, businesses and workers both continue to benefit from the program.
Enterprise Zones create and retain jobs, even in the most difficult economic times.
Enterprise Zones are empowerment through employment. The incentives provide unprecedented access to quality jobs, alleviate the stress on our beleaguered social service programs and help bring entire neighborhoods out of poverty.
The California Association of Enterprise Zones is dedicated to promoting job creation and economic development through the successful Enterprise Zone program. Since 1990, we have been promoting the Enterprise Zone program through legislative action at the state and federal level and by creating a regional and statewide dialogue on improving economic activity through the Enterprise Zone program.

France loses top rating in downgrade
Credit ratings agency Moody's has downgraded France from its top rating.
The country's debt has been reduced from AAA to AA1 and has kept its negative outlook, meaning it could be downgraded again, the BBC reports.
In a statement, Moody's blamed the risk of a Greek exit from the euro, stalled economic growth and the chance that France will have to contribute to bailing out other countries.
It also warned that Italy's banks face worsening conditions over the coming year, with asset quality declining, low profitability and poor access to markets for funds.

Supporting a Cultural and Culinary Institution in Seattle
As World War II came to a close in 1945, Asian-Americans across the United States struggled to rebuild their lives. Fujimatsu Moriguchi, founder of Uwajimaya, one of the largest Asian grocers in the Pacific Northwest today, needed financial assistance to start and build his new business.
"Japanese lost their businesses, they lost everything," said Tomio Moriguchi, Chairman of the board at Uwajimaya. "When the war ended, my father came back to Seattle and then we started the Uwajimaya business."
Bank of America was the only financial institution that would provide that support for what is now an anchor institution in Seattle's thriving Asian community. Bank of America remains Uwajimaya's bank to this day.
"Over the years we've provided loans to help them grow the business, open new stores," said Chris McCormack, client manager at Bank of America. "Tomoko and I talk about best practices in the industry and what might be available to help them run their business better."
Each week, groups of students, tourists and local shoppers visit Uwajimaya to observe and experience the diverse Asian cultures that represent the fastest growing segment of the Puget Sound's population.
The relationship between Bank of America and the Moriguchi family remains strong. The bank assisted the family in expanding the business and relocating to its current Chinatown location. In addition, through the bank's support, the Moriguchis are building a new store in Bellevue, which has spurred additional business growth in what was otherwise an empty space.
Tomoko Moriguchi Matsuno, CEO and president of Uwajimaya, said, "The surprise is that we can have such a human relationship with a big, big bank."

The physical impact of wildfires is something residents in the Southwest are
all too familiar with—charred trees, damaged structures, flooded streets, and
barren land endure as a monument to the devastation it leaves behind.
The financial impact of a wildfire can be just as devastating to public
resources and private property owners, according to a new study by Northern
Arizona University's (NAU's) Ecological Restoration Institute and Arizona Rural
Policy Institute.
The study examines the 2010 Schultz Fire and resulting flooding that
occurred in the affected areas north and west of the city of Flagstaff. The
total financial impact of the fire and flooding is estimated to be between $133
million and $147 million.
The report, titled "A
Full Cost Accounting of the 2010 Schultz Fire," is intended to provide a
clear picture of how fire affects communities, governments, nonprofits, and
property owners. The findings raise questions about the full financial impact
of large-scale wildfires that have swept across California, Arizona, and
Colorado in recent years.
"We were able to estimate the full cost of the fire and flooding beyond the
typical analysis of tracking the cost of fire suppression, remediation, and
loss of timber value," said Wayne Fox,
director of the Arizona Rural Policy Institute and assistant dean of The W.A.
Franke College of Business at NAU. "Our core analysis captured direct
government expenditures, loss of property values, and direct financial loss. As
large as the numbers are, they are conservative."
The research also determined that had the area's forest undergone thinning
of small diameter trees prior to the fire, an investment of $15 million, the
impact of the fire would have been lessened.
"This study demonstrates the value of prevention and the terrible cost of
inaction," said Diane Vosick,
director of Policy and Partnerships at the Ecological Restoration Institute.
"It shows that the brunt of forest fire and post-fire flooding is felt by
everyone in the community. This can all be avoided by science-supported forest
restoration that includes thinning and burning."

[KOTOR/TSL] Mandalorian Ships
With the exception of Mandalore's Basilisk fighter in TSL - it actually looking like a clone Xizor's Virago starfighter - there doesn't appear to be any other Mandalorian craft in K1 or TSL. With all of the Mandalorians running around here on the forums, I'm actually surprised no one has requested a capital ship or fighter "for the clans." Has any one created a model of any Mandalorian spaceship? I'm sure such a thing would be welcomed as an asset for both KotOR and TSL.
I imagine such models added into Silveredge9's BOS: Solomon's Revenge or Canderis' Canderous' Glory mod would spice things up. Those wishing to create new BIK movies involving space scenes might also enjoy some variety using such things.
