I get the following error when I run my JSP file in Eclipse-Juno with Tomcat v7:
'starting Tomcat v7.0 server at localhost' has encountered a problem. Port 8080 required by Tomcat v7.0 server at localhost is already in use. The server may already be running in another process, or a system process may be using the port. To start this server you will need to stop the other process or change the port number(s).
I have Oracle 10g installed in my System. When I type "http://localhost:8080" it opens the Oracle 10g license agreement so I think Oracle 10g is already running in that port.
To change the port of Tomcat I tried Google, which said to change the port in the "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 7.0.14\conf\httpd.conf" file
But at "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 7.0.14\conf" there was no httpd.conf file.
I only have "catalina.policy,catalina.properties,context,logging.properties,server,tomcat-users,web" files in that conf folder.
I use windows XP.

Samsung Exclaim M550 to hit Sprint; Samsung Alias 2 caught on video
Samsung Mobile USA is quite busy lately, as it's readying the release of at least six new phones. Four of them (including Samsung Gravity 2 and T349) will reach T-Mobile, but we're not going to talk about those handsets right now.
Instead, we're going to see one of Sprint's upcoming messaging phones, called Samsung Exclaim M550.
The Exclaim M550 is the successor of Samsung Rant, thus it will come with an alphanumeric and a QWERTY keypad. Unlike Rant's keypads, though, the ones packed in the M550 are both sliding ones.
Anyway, here are some pictures with the Exclaim (courtesy of Sprint Gurus):
It looks a lot like the Samsung Lucello / Cello we saw in that leaked Sprint roadmap, doesn't it? In fact, it's probably the same device.
Knowing this, the features of Samsung Exclaim M550 should include:
- A 2.6 QVGA display
- EV-DO Rev. 0 connectivity
- Social networking applications
- 2MP camera
- Memory expansion slot, up to 32GB
It's said that Sprint plans to release the M550 on June 7, in blue and purple. Sadly, the phone's price is not known.
In other Samsung news, Verizon's Alias 2 U750 was recently caught on video (two videos actually), so now we can see its e-ink "Magic Keypad" better:
Samsung Alias 2 will be launched by Verizon on May 11 (next Monday).

In Teachers We Trust: Can Kids Count on You?
(Updated: 12/2013)
A while back, I wrote a post about how a great school leader has the trust of those they lead. Here's a question for teachers: Do we have the trust of those we teach?
The bottom line and absolute truth is that humans -- whether adults or children -- don't learn if we don't trust. At our school sites, we want the administrators to trust we are doing our best in the classrooms and they want us to trust they are doing their best. (As we know, this isn't always the case.)
Children easily vibe when adults lack trust with each other, and they aren't blind to the hypocrisy of those same adults telling them to trust their teachers and fellow students.
That said, trust is not a given. It has to be earned. And in an interdependent relationship as the one a teacher has with his students, without trust, there is often only a stagnant environment. According to educational consultant and author of Trust Matters, Megan Tschannen-Moran, in a hierarchal relationship, those in power -- teachers, in the case of the classroom -- are responsible for building trust.
Keep it Real
We've all seen the videos at after-school meetings of the model teacher -- the ones that leave us thinking: "Maybe I should be more like that super bubbly teacher with the sweet voice?"
But if you're going to end up sounding like Glenda the Good Witch, don't do it. Sure, mix it up, and add a few new slogans to your repertoire of words of encouragement. But be you. The kids will feel more comfortable, and so will you. Kids can smell phony. (Remember Holden Caulfield?)
Don't Take it Personally
Children are not our peers so how can they hurt or offend us the way someone are own age can? I'm always surprised when a teacher colleague is "crushed" by something a student did, didn't do, or said. We would save ourselves so much heartache by not personalizing the acts and words of children.
Be Honest
If you make a mistake and the kids know it, admit it. When we are honest and model a little humility for students, the trust grows exponentially. An occasional "I'd like to apologize to the class" goes a long, long way. If you are open to admitting to a mistake, the students will also be much more open to doing so.
Be Reliable
If I space out and don't call a friend back for a day or two, it's not that big of a deal. If I don't collect a project on the due date, or if I forget to reserve that bus for the fieldtrip I promised, it can shatter hard-earned trust with students in a single blow.
When I was teaching at an urban school in a poor area, the students were accustomed to being let down by "the system." And truth was, in their eyes, I represented the system. If I didn't follow through on that museum trip I mentioned we'd take, their faces told me everything. The message was this: "See, you are just like the rest of them. What did we expect?"
Be Fair
If you allow the student with a B in your class an extra day to turn in her essay, and don't when the student with a D (who incessantly talks and drives you slightly nuts) asks for more time, then you are not being fair. Fair means all students getting the same rules, and exceptions to those rules. Believe me, if you move the line for one student, and not another, kids talk, and they find out. Unfair teachers are the most despised -- and the least trusted.
Don't Confuse the Two
I don't know if you fell prey to it those first couple of years teaching, but I sure did. I thought if they liked me, they'd respect me and of course, trust me. Surprisingly, trust and liking someone don't really have much to do with each other. According to Tschannen-Moran, "It is possible to like someone you do not trust and trust someone you do not especially like."
Remain Competent
Whenever you are able, go to professional developments to learn new strategies and technology to assist you in teaching all students -- gifted, struggling, and English learners.
Also, stay sharp with the content you teach. That may mean reading the Twilight series if you are a middle school English teacher, or practicing simulated experiments on the computer at home if you teach science.
How do you grow teacher-student relationships in your classroom? What are some tips you'd like to share for building trust with students? We can't wait to hear your ideas!

[quote]I read an idea in a parenting book the other day that I thought was really on point: we should talk to kids with the same level of respect that we'd use for our spouse, our religious leader, or our grandfather. When you think about it, there is really no reason to speak to kids more disrespectfully than any of these other important people! Can you imagine if the pastor from your church came over for dinner and spilled his milk? You would never say "I KNEW that was going to happen! I wish you could be responsible for just ONE second! Clean it up NOW!" Plus, this is a GREAT way to model how you expect students to talk to YOU, and each other! I am a school counselor, and am always amazed at how quickly kids, even the youngest ones, can sniff out genuine and authentic respect.[/quote]
As a part-time reading remediation teacher who will be a first- year full-time teacher next fall, I thank you for this insight. What a wonderful resource for working with our kids!
I began teaching as a substitute in an upscale urban neighborhood in the northeast; in the schools which I taught, children were treated as little adults. The culture of the city there seems to demand it. Harsh words/ humiliation (even unintended) can be viewed as corporal punishment.
I have recently moved to a coastal city in the south, and teach in a rural area farther inland. The student-teacher interaction here is so incredibly different from what I just came from! I occasionally wince at what I hear. It's not verbally abusive by any means... just nearly the complete opposite of what I am used to. However, the student-teacher relationships are amazing and I see the respect the students have for their teachers.
As I prepare for my first year of teaching (first gade), I have been spending considerable time trying to figure out my best plan of attack, so to speak. How do I act in the classroom, especially at the beginning of the year? I do have a tendency to be warm and silly with my kids, but I have found that does not necessarily lead to respect. How do I find balance?
Your insight about how to talk to the kids and how to treat them is a wonderful launching point.
Wow! Thanks for the fantastic reminder about the importance of trust in the classroom. I just finished up my first year of teaching and I now understand how important trust is in a student-teacher relationship. Most importantly, I believe teachers must be fair. I have heard students talk about how disrespected they felt when a teacher was unfair. This helped me keep myself in check when it comes to respect and trust with my students.
It is very important to realize that the more students trust and respect you, the more they are willing to give you - their cooperation, attention, and effort - thus making you more successful in your teaching. Building trust with students will allow you to become an effective teacher. I believe that being able to relate to the students - getting to know them and listening to them - will really help build this trust and respect from them. Some of these students come into your classroom dealing with neglect from home and by reaching out to them, they will see that you care for them as an individual and trust you. There is a positive correlation between our success and that of the students'. The more they trust us, the more they can succeed and we, as teachers, are more effective and successful. As teachers, we are constantly giving but it is not a give and take relationship, because in order for us to give to them, they must give to us what we need - which is their trust and respect. You can not do your job as a teacher if there is no cooperation and attention from the students. Great advice! I have also believed that if the students like me, they will trust me, and that is not the case. Also, I have learned not to take their comments and actions personally. That has helped me greatly in building trust with them.
This article is a great read, but man there are just some students that cannot be trusted. No matter how hard you try and to relate and be honest with them they will lie to your face like it's the easiest thing to do. I've had many experiences with students who have lied to my face and I even knew they were lying to me. I always love when parents get caught up in the lie and then they find out that it is their son or daughters fault and they are being lied to as well.
This article was helpful and relates to a book that I am currently reading for a class. I find that sometimes building trust with my students can become a tricky feat. Sometimes the line can be blurred to them and they start to treat me like a "friend". This is where I find it becomes difficult. While I want them to confide in me and feel comfortable, I also want them to remember that our relationship is not quite a friendship. How do we keep that from happening? I have reservations about allowing students, current or former, become my friends on Facebook. I would never want anything from my own page to be misconstrued and put my job in jeopardy. I think adding students to a social network page may be crossing the line a bit. I feel that we can keep good relationships with our students without "friend-adding". Does anybody have other suggestions for staying in the students' "loop"?
I am a high school teacher. I agree with much of what has been said about the importance of trust and relationships in the classroom. I too scour student files, learn student names by the 2nd or 3rd day of class (I tell them this is my most important homework all year), and remind students that I am human, make mistakes, have emotions, and often learn from them just as they learn from me. I always admit when I am wrong, don't know the answer, or forget/don't follow through on a promise. I am friends with some students on Facebook-- especially students I coach in Debate. I tell students I am happy to be friends on Facebook, but only if they keep their posts clean. If they don't, I un-friend them. I tell them that if they use Fb for their "party and profanity headquarters," we wouldn't make good digital friends.
However, I am excited about the potential of sites like Edmodo and Schoology to allow educators to combine social networking with learning (Social Learning Network). These sites mimic Facebook in style and micro-blogging ability, but they are geared for teachers to use with classes so teachers create class groups, control enrollment, and can provide a social networking environment where students focus on school, assignments, etc. Try it out!! Students love these sites and already know how to use them bc of their similarity to Fb.
What a great post! I have taught first grade for five years and children definitely know when you're faking it. They have a keen sense of spotting phonies. I agree that you have to earn someone's trust it doesn't just magically happen. One of the easiest ways to earn my students trust is to truly invest in them and be there for them. It takes a little bit of time, but in the long run trust is aquired fairly quickly and I have very strong relationships with my students for that school year and many more to come.
I taught for 8 years before I had my daughter and decided to become a stay at home mom. I hope to go back to the classroom someday. Reading your post was a great reminder to me of the importance of building significant relationships with our students. I think our students benefit from knowing that their teachers genuinely care for them. I can remember when one of my students was amazed that I remembered her name. I didn't realize that that would be such a big deal...but of course it would...because to her, it wasn't that I remembered her name...I had remembered her.
Speaking words of encouragement to our students, taking the time to notice an award they received or how they are doing in an extra curricular activity can mean a lot to our students and can help to build a good rapport with them. It's also important that our students see that we are real...we can laugh, we can joke, we can be sad...all within appropriate boundaries. We want them to respect our authority but we also want them to feel comfortable in our classrooms and around us.
Some things that I did to help build rapport and trust with my students were:
*Greeting them at the door
*Smiling at them
*Encouraging them
*Saying hello to them when I saw them other places
*Praising them
*Giving them leadership roles
*Allowing ownership of the class-establishing rules and expectations
*Maintaining classroom procedures and organization
I totally agree with you. Especially, "trust is not a given. It has to be earned". I have the poster in my classroom that states "Respect is not given, it has to be earned". These two go hand in hand. There needs to be a mutual, two-way street between our students and us, as teachers. We both must be trusting of the other and also show that mutual respect. If our students feel we are fake, neither trust or respect will occur. If we ask them what they did over the weekend or ask them what is bothering them, but it is obvious our mind is elsewhere or we are not paying attention, a wall starts to go up. Children are very intuitive.
Unfortunately, in the special education field, many of my students come from dysfunctional homes, where there is already little respect or trust. They then look to us for it and when they don't see it there either, they shut down. They lose trust in all adults, which starts a vicious cycle for them.
As you stated, as educators we need to be real, honest, reliable and fair. The students will know if we are and will be more apt to be willing to learn if they feel their teacher has these qualities.
I couldn't agree more with this: "The bottom line and absolute truth is that humans -- whether adults or children -- don't learn if we don't trust."
One of our bloggers, Todd Finley, also wrote a useful post on how to trust your students that I thought others may enjoy as well: http://www.edutopia.org/blog/how-to-trust-your-students-todd-finley.

Favorite Places: Atlas Pancakes
Ceyda and Andrew, the owners of the bar/restaurant/café/pancake headquarters in Kreuzberg, put much love into their concept and even more love into the all-veggie food they serve. Even if you crave something else than a perfect pancake (I swear it's perfect!), you'll most likely find an alternative to savor. Home made fries & ketchup, eggs of any variety, and another personal recommendation: the tofu sandwich with the cucumber salad on the side. Seriously guys, if we were talking about music here, we'd be talking about the perfect club banging radio billboard bursting track.
Lucky for all those who would prefer a good night out to a Pancake Killing Spree (although I don't know anyone who wouldn't actually kill for a pancake like that), Atlas is not just the breakfast joint of the moment, it's also a bar with changing programme and a focus on good music. Oldschool and contemporary Hip Hop, Funk tunes and soul stuff have been blaring through the speakers and continuously drawing more and more aficionados of the genre. Concerts and releases as well as private functions can be celebrated. And if you linger long enough (as I sometimes do, a whole Sunday afternoon), the mood shifts from cozy to exciting to wild and reckless instantly.
Many of the upcoming events, such as a regular Stand Up Comedy night or Black Book Sketching Sessions, can be looked up on the Atlas Facebook Page. Atlas also regularly hosts exhibitions, so keep in touch and don't forget to pancake the love out of it.
Sweet. The pancakes at Beakers in Prenzlauer Berg are also really good and there is usually a pancake special that changes from weekend to weekend.
good times there. spent every wednesday of winter 2012 there.
ceyda had to close atlas pancakes three weeks ago.

Complaint filed against economic-development group
Published: Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at 3:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at 3:37 p.m.
HOUMA – A workplace-discrimination complaint has been filed against Terrebonne's economic-development group, its chairman said at a board committee meeting Tuesday.
Don Hingle said the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint was filed by an employee of the Terrebonne Economic Development Authority and was received in late November or early December. The EEOC covers a broad spectrum of grievances, and may be filed by workers who believe they have been unfairly treated because of their age, disability, race, gender or other reasons, like sexual harassment.
The issue came up when the board's executive committee decided to recommend Adams and Reese Law Firm to its board to represent it in mediation surrounding the case.
Hingle said he could not comment further on the case because of the "sensitivity of the situation."

Japanese Teens Playing Quidditch In Real Life Pictures
I spy a hoverboard.
First Dragon Ball moves in real life, then Vader force-choking, and now some Quidditch in real life pictures (although some just look like witches). It's weird how the internet works, isn't it? It's like, cyclical. Just one big turd-recycling series of tubes. Think of it as a lazy river -- no matter how many times you go around, you always wind up back at the same spot. Anybody want to guess what next week's picture meme will be? Because I'm hoping for giant boobs with 'I HEART GW' written on them. Now that would be new and exciting.
Hit the jump for a couple more.
Thanks to Kevin, who's convinced the next big picture meme is gonna involve animals. And as an internet expect, that sounds realistic.

Video: The Last Sunday Supper At Rocco's
In this animated short from StoryCorps, Nicholas Petron remembers his grandfather, Rocco Galasso, who moved to New York City from Italy with the hopes of making a better life. For 18 years, Galasso served as owner and superintendent of an apartment building where much of his family resided — until the day they were given notice that their building faced demolition to make way for new apartments. As Petron remembers, that's when everything changed.

The Ector County Independent School Board of Odessa, Texas, has approved the teaching of the King James version of the Bible as an elective course for high school students, picking the KJV over another curriculum option, The Bible and its Influence, that some observers considered more inclusive of minority religious views. The King James Bible, they argue, will be used to proselytize rather than educate, and may moreover be promoting a specific denomination of Christianity: fundamentalist Protestantism. Critics of the decision have complained that the motivation for the course was religious preaching, rather than instruction, citing the religious rallies that accompanied the decision — i.e., a largely Pentecostal group sang songs about victory over Satan when the news was announced — as proof that the issue was "'all about religion, not academics.'"

In front of a very strong crowd over the March 10th thru 13th weekend
at Expo Idaho, the 39th Annual Boise Roadster Show crowned quite a number of
champions during the award's ceremonies on Sunday evening.
Presented by Les Schwab, the four-day Summit ISCA Championship event attracted
an outstanding field of exhibitors from eight states and Canada.
Doug Beattie from Vancouver, Wash., scored the Goldmark award, in addition to
the overall Best Custom title. A five-year undertaking better known as the "Futurama
Forty" was also the big winner of America's Most Beautiful Custom at the
Sacramento Autorama in February.

displayed his upcoming `40 Ford coupe project.
We hope you enjoy a small slice of the color and excitement (including a wide
variety of photographs) taken at this year's show. Although we would've liked to
display every car in this year's photo spread, it's almost impossible to make
that happen. We're very grateful to the photographers for all their efforts.
Several of the images below are just about like a "work of art".

NOMINATION SUBMITTED BY: D.J. Sweet (email@example.com)
The reasons that Jackie Chan deserves this award are endless. Not only is he officially a Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations for their Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the Joint U.N. Programme on H.I.V./A.I.D.S. (UNAIDS) but he contributes his time, effort and money to countless causes like landmine rehabilitation and awareness projects in Cambodia. His official U.N. visit to Viet Nam to promote A.I.D.S. awareness and fight stigma and discrimination against A.I.D.S. has brought one of the largest A.I.D.S. awarness campaigns ever televised. During the 2005 Indian Ocean tsunami, he contributed half a million Hong Kong dollars to the cause. He has already made a peldged to do "whatever I can" for children (especially during times of conflict). Currently, there is a short documentary film which highlights Jackie Chan's humanitarian and charity contributions. His cartoon television series for kids and all of his movies display good and just values, including only fighting when you are forced to in self-defence, equality and and the strength of friendship. This award states that it deserves to go to "an individual in the motion picture industry whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the industry"; Jackie Chan is that and more.
For the countless he has helped over the years, for the selfless sacrifice for his films, and for those who are still in need, please, jackie Chan is one man who has deserved this award for years.
The Jackie Chan Charity Foundation (founded by him) is more than deserving of the Acadmey Award.
Jackie Chan deserves this award. He has contributed to coutless causes around the globe, and in the process, has helped thousands of children have better lives. Jackie Chan should get this award and if he does not, I will be furious.
I find he's creative in movies.
JAckie is a true humanitarian. You see all these people in commercials helping out the needy countries, but we don't know if they have actually spent time there. As DJ mentioned, he is a part of numerous organizations and actually takes the time to stay and witness these catastrophes with his own eyes. He doesn't go there for the publicity, he does what he does because he enjoys helping others and saving lives. That's what a true humanitarian is, and he definitely deserves this award.
Jackie Chan has been acknowledged for his humanitarian efforts in Hong Kong. He has contributed greatly to many charity organizations.
I agree with this nomination for the reasons listed above.
agreed he should definitely win
I love Jackie Chan! I'm not gonna lie, He's pretty much my favorite actor. He spins, kicks, punchs, dodges with such grace. Oh, and he also does great humanitarien stuff too. Just like all that stuff listed above. So yeah! Jackie Chan has my vote!
Jackie Chan most definitely deserves this award!
JACKIE is the man for this award, he has been a philanthropist and has helped the needy. Give it to him
I have all your DVDS.
GO jackie ^_^, keep up the good work O_O
Please consider his award as he has done countless charity works and is an ambassador for the peaceful use of martial-arts only when confronted! He is the most deserving one!
Jackie is in the top list of the most generous celebrities these days. This man is truly a hard working human being in any sense. And mostly it's all for our sake, not his.
I second the nomination and everything these people have said
people need to know how much he helps people.
i second the nomination.
i love jackie chan because he is so great. he really deserves this award because he's committed and plus he really cares about things in the world and donates a lot of money - yea!
Jackie Chan is the most purest frm of a humanitarian ever. He Has a soul and a heart to care for people. He deserves this award. He is the voice of ever humanitarian
For the contributions he has made to the world.
Jackie Chan, a celebrity with full of love and humility. He deserves to have this award.
He is very impessive person, not many actor do what he does.
he absolutly needs it ! he
Jackie did so many films and had a lot of big success and still is a normal person who does a lot of charity and loves his fans ! He bothers about environment and encourages young talents to work hard ! He deserves an Oscar !
I think Jackie deserves this award. He has done a lot of charity work, i have never known a person like him, in his free time he is always thinking and helping other people, and well besides being a great actor, he has a big heart, so i think he really has to win this award.
Jackie Chan deserves this award.
I completely support this award nomination. Jackie Chan is a tireless humanitarian. Read his blog on his website and you will see how, whenever he's not making a movie, he is out doing charity work around the world. He is truly devoted to his cause.
For many years Jackie Chan has given much time & money, & expended tremendous effort, for numerous charitable & environmental causes. His work to help people, animals & the environment has been done in many different countries. Thus, an award which is recognised world-wide would be most appropriate.
I believe Jackie Chan, to be the best on-screen fight ever. His work both in Hollywork and Hong Kong have be fantastic, and his work with charity both past and present, for crisis and for the public, is the reasons why he deserves an Oscar. In addition the first person to do 99% of his own stunts.
Jackie undoubtedly deserves recognition for his humanitarian work and the list provided above is out of date. He has contributed selflessly to so many charities (including his own Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation and Dragon's Heart Foundation). He has helped build more than 20 schools in China, contributed to disaster relief from the Tsunami to most recently the Haiti Earthquake disaster, supports old age homes, orphanages and special needs schools. For a fuller insight to his charitable work you can visit his website at http://jackiechan.com/charity. I truly hope that his commitment to charity and giving back can be honoured by the academy.

Today was the Pittsburgh marathon. I knew some people who were running in the marathon or half marathon so I made myself be motivated and at least get outside to run/jog/walk a few miles. I thought about those running the marathon a lot this morning and was trying to send some positive running spirits with them. 🙂 When I was finished however, I began to wonder about the feasibility of myself ever training for a marathon (remember, I hate dislike running and am trying to like it). I looked through a few articles and finally found one at runnersworld.com about a rookie marathon training plan.
The article said that this training plan is good for anyone who has never run a marathon and for people who seldom run or race more than 6 miles.
So runners, what do you think? Does this look like a good rookie marathon training plan? What marathon training plan do you follow?
The article further elaborates that during the "quality" runs you should mix and match from the following:
I'm really considering training for a half marathon to begin. I've never even run in a 5k, so I guess I should start with that first! I'll have to revisit my own post after camp this summer to try this rookie marathon training plan!

When it comes to spectacular shows there seems to be no end to the awesome talents presented at Juana Ghani's large band and multiple dancers who entertain the crowd up close and personal! Her July 3rd-4th extravaganza featured two opening bands, Six Feet in the Pine, and Gipsy Moon, from Colorado, and the remarkable talents of dancers Rio Wimmer, Buck Wylde, and more.
The opening band, a local seven piece band that is headed by Devin Lee on banjo and Jennifer E. Yurth as lead vocalist/guitarist, with backing vocals by Shelley Gray, describe their music as a mixture of folk and bluegrass. The bluegrass aspect was very evident in this show, and very well done.
The touring five piece Colorado band, Gipsy Moon, was up next, with lead vocals by Mackenzie Page, backed by David Matters, also describing a bluegrass influence in their "GipsyGrass/Indie Folk" genre description was very much in keeping with the first opener. Several couples in the audience were dancing to the music of both bands. They also had a new CD and other merchandise for sale.
By the time this was over, it was well into the evening, and the eleven piece band Juana Ghani took the stage for the rest of the time until nearly 2 a.m., with an outstanding mix of dancers performing to their music and delighting the crowd. First up was the beautiful Rio Wimmer, dancing with an illuminated hula hoop - her dress revealed a lithe figure and her dancing was spectacular! She was followed by one of Juana Ghani's regular dancers, Myzchief Simona Stephenson, and then once again by Rio Wimmer and Buck Wylde, performing the most spectacular fire dances, along with dancer Holly Bird who joined Rio near the end of the performance. It was, in my opinion, definitely among the best entertainment around downtown Salt Lake City on the eve and early morning of our nation's birthday!

Slough Jets head to Coventry on a high
Slough Jets fans may be dreaming of play-off glory after a thrilling quarter final win over Milton Keynes Lightning, but player coach Doug Sheppard is refusing to get too carried away.
After a disappointing 7-4 reversal away from home on Saturday, the Jets produced a stunning comeback at the Hangar on Sunday to secure an 11-10 aggregate victory thanks to a dramatic overtime winner.
Slough will now face league leaders Guildford Flames in tomorrow's semi final in Coventry. The winners will contest Sunday's final with either Manchester Phoenix or Sheffield Steeldogs.
"We're taking one game at a time," said Sheppard."We're on a high right now and it was one step in the right direction.
"We have two games to go but if we play like that and put our backs against the wall we'll be fine."
The Flames, who finished the regular EPL season as table toppers, overcame a 3-2 first-leg defeat against Peterborough Phantoms to win 10-7 on aggregate.
Despite finishing fourth, Slough beat Guildford on three occasions this season, falling to two defeats and one overtime loss.
Sheppard said: "We had a pretty even season series and our head-to-head record matches up well.
"But we're confident and we know we've got a great team when we play the way we can."
A place at the play-off weekend seemed unlikely when Milton Keynes raced to a 5-1 lead within 26 minutes on Saturday.
The Jets battled back to make it 6-4 after the second period but conceded a seventh late in the game.
It was role reversal on Sunday with Slough leading 4-0 early in the second period, 8-7 overall, before two Lightning goals left the Jets trailing on aggregate.
Second goals of the night for Adam Calder and Dan Davies swung the balance back in the hosts' favour, but once again they were pegged back by Blaz Emersic's penalty with 18 seconds remaining, making it 6-3 on the night, 10-10 in the series.
But the Hangar's biggest crowd of the season were celebrating in the fifth minute of overtime when Mindy Kieras crucially netted the winner.
"It was so crazy. It was one of the best games I've ever been involved in and for the fans one of the most exciting weekends they'll ever witness," said Sheppard.
"Conceding a late one on Saturday was a bit demoralising but we still knew it could happen.
"On the bus I told them we couldn't do a thing about what had just happened, and reminded them how nice it was going to feel when we came back and won the series.
"We believed, stuck with it and played our best game of the year when we needed it most."

A collection of new poems from the Peakland poet. Includes the performance piece, "Izzy's Bee and Me".
Simon Unwin was born and grew up in Sheffield. He has lived in the Peak District since 1985, for most of this period at Ashford in the Water, where he spends much of his time watching and recording the wildlife of the area. He has been a chef, a factory worker, a printer, national park ranger, nature reserve warden, writer, mountain rescue dog-handler, hill-walker and climber. Now he's a poet. He drinks whisky and swears too much, but offers the excuse that life in twenty-first century Britain leaves him a lot to swear about. He is married with three children and a grand-daughter.

A delightful book full of wonderful imagery. Facepaint makes me smile everytime I read it. An education - how true. Early shift is so sad and Christmas 2009, well if this is the result I cannot be sorry.
For anyone reading this I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Q&A with Joel Hagberg of Toshiba
VSM: For those who may not be familiar, can you tell us more about Toshiba storage?
JH: Toshiba Storage is a global manufacturer of storage solutions, including hard disk drives (HDDs), solid state drives (SSDs) and NAND flash memory – technologies that drive a wide range of consumer electronics, computer and automotive applications, as well as enterprise storage solutions for the global marketplace. Toshiba is a leader in the development, design and manufacturing of mobile, consumer and enterprise hard disk drives and solid state drives.
VSM: Which storage technology do you feel is driving the market today?
JH: Storage technology is driven by the market, and the market has a growing variety of needs that can only be met by both HDDs and SSDs. Toshiba is well-positioned to support the total storage needs of the market.
The growth of data is driving the need for greater capacities in consumer and commercial segments. The need for data access is driving a need for speed in both segments. Fortunately, storage technology is up to both tasks.
Consumers want to keep all their photos, videos and music, but they also want the fastest possible access. Flash and SSDs give them that quick access in 'instant on' CE devices and HDDs manage the heavy lifting of keeping all that content – on PCs external HDDs and increasingly also in some form of cloud.
Enterprises also need both – lots of capacity for Big Data, and for some applications, the highest possible speed- all balanced with power, cooling and cost effectiveness. Enterprise storage responds to these needs with traditional enterprise drives, enterprise SSDs and Nearline drives. System software and architectures are taking advantage of the variety of storage, perfecting and tailoring systems to the needs of the business and the data.
VSM: How has Toshiba storage evolved to fit this trend?
JH: Toshiba's broad storage portfolio has expanded to meet the market's storage needs – HDDs and SSDs for commercial and consumer applications. Our solid state solutions, spanning both enterprise and consumer-grade SSDs, puts us a step ahead of other manufacturers. Toshiba invented NAND flash memory 25 years ago and we continue to build on that legacy of innovation, which includes having our own fabs and production capacity. One trend we have noticed in SSD deployment is that our customers greatly value the cost-savings associated with energy efficient data centers, and Toshiba is proud to win awards for our excellence in energy efficient storage solutions. We will continue to make storage options for customers looking to reduce energy consumption.
VSM: Toshiba recently introduced THNSNF drives. Can you talk more about this?
JH: The THNSNF is the world's first family of SSDs to use a 19nm NAND flash process. The drives perform at twice the speed of Toshiba's HG3 series SSDs, employ multi-level cell (MLC) flash and Quadruple Swing-By Code, Toshiba's robust and highly efficient error correction code technology for data protection. Available in .5mm and .7mm form factors, the THNSNF series comes in a variety of capacity points, including 64, 128, 256 and 512 GB.

Two souls brought together by fate on the ice flows of Greenland, a penguin, and a coroner. The oddest of couples carrying with them scars from the past, but also a flame of love, that may burn them alive.
Shane Deruise (The Artist as Words) I used to take photographs about my environment, objects, myself, and friends. Those images never felt close to me, though, there is a strange thing about being shunned, and misunderstood… never feeling at home. After searching for many years, and losing a lot of what I lived for, I realized what I want my work to encompass. Now I take pictures of gender, the human condition, and trauma. The human condition is growth and decay. I am searching out beauty within the grotesque. We are not all the same, people's physicality has inspired me to confront the everyday sense of normalcy and decency. If intimacy wasn't such a confining word… for me it may be represented as substance; emotional, sexual, and hideous.

Bernie Dehler conducted a webcast interview with Doug Matheson, the author of "Actually Thinking vs. Just Believing." It is now available for free online viewing here: http://tinyurl.com/loxuz69 .
Both Bernie and Doug are now atheists and former Christians. Doug spent time in Africa as a missionary. He spoke about one of his encounters with a medical doctor that believed in voodoo and hexes, and the medical doctor felt powerless against such tactics. Doug challenged him to have a witch doctor cast a hex to see if it would hurt Doug. At first the medical doctor thought he could never request such a thing from a witch doctor; but when pressed and the medical doctor thought about it more, he considered that the hex would have no effect on Doug because Doug didn't believe in it. That would be a classic "ah ha!" moment. Africa is awash in religious superstition.

Salmon-tracking device recovered off Nova Scotia
A solar-powered fish-tracking drone has been recovered off the North American Coast after a 3,000 km journey. And the 'surf board' device, says the Atlantic Salmon Federation, which tracks tagged fish released from the Miramichi River and the Restigouche River and some other rivers in New Brunswick will provide a valuable insight and data into the movement of salmon after they leave their rivers of origin. ...

Huge catch on Norway's Vosso
Fortunes have varied wildly for salmon fishers in Norway recently. While the central rivers of the Trondelag region continue to struggle with catches through to the approaching end of the season, a notable catch to one rod on a single river has shown the potential for sport in this celebrated salmon-fishing country. ...

Good times, bad times
What is it with fishermen: are we never satisfied? Even when we have a river stuffed full of fish we can complain about bad conditions, low, clear water, or simply an upstream wind, for goodness' sake! Even when we are fishing a famous salmon river, with a better than average chance of hooking something very special indeed, it is possible to turn the story round a bit.. ... Full story
What has happened to Norway's summer run?
As July merges into August, high summer into late-summer, a pattern has become established on Norway's sportfishing rivers. When a 2012 salmon is hooked it tends to be an older, bigger, river fish. Now, with the season ending two weeks tomorrow, from the Lakselva to the Orkla, the question is repeated: what has happened to Norway's summer run of medium sized salmon and grilse? And the newer, big fish, for that matter? ... Full story
Where the Muddler is king of the castle
It is one of the most famous names in Scottish West Coast salmon and sea-trout fishing. But the Isle of Harris' Amhuinnsuidhe fishery, with its superlative wild fly-fishing on Lochs Voshmid, Scourst and Ulladale is not just about fishing, as Greig Thomson of Salmo International describes.. ...

Camp Greenland
A new venture for fly-fishers whose dream is to sample the Arctic char fishing in Greenland is taking shape under the aegis of Arni Baldursson. Arni runs his Lax-a fishing all over the world but this camp looks the business and one assumes very good connections in Greenland to enable such comfort to go up in the wilderness in such short order. ...

Great summer sport on Deeside
It was a better week for anglers fishing the Aberdeenshire Dee last week with FishDee beats reporting 221 salmon and 30 sea trout, writes Dee Fisheries Development Officer, Ken Reid. And although reports in the current week suggest the river is now down to its bare summer bones, it is worth dwelling on the superlative summer sport that greets those fly-fishermen, and women, who are in the right place at the right time. Fish sprinting like Usain Bolt? Dancing nuns on roller blades? All will be explained.. ... Full story
Hayes expands Norwegian salmon-fishing portfolio for 2013
Ever since he filmed a series of his fishing exploits for the Discovery channel and despite a fishless week after salmon, ended up catching a little more than he'd bargained for (he was to marry the daughter of the family that owned the fishings!), fishing celebrity Matt Hayes has developed a big love affair for Norway's River Gaula. Now, having secured the Flaskholen beat for 2012, Matt and the Winsnes family have added a lease on the famous Malum Winsnes fishery for 2013. ... Full story
Varzina trout camp comes good
Every self-respecting famous Kola Peninsula salmon river these days has to boast its own trout fishing camp in the upper reaches and the North Kola's Varzina river is no exception. Here, a recent report posted on Facebook by the camp reflects, yes a few salmon caught (that's inevitable), but also some quite exceptional brown trout caught. Salmon sized brownies really. Or at least, it would be exceptional, if we didn't just pinch ourselves and say this is trout fishing Kola-style - and anything really is possible.. ... Full story
Yokanga's August Bruisers
With rivers like the Ponoi put into mothballs for a fortnight, and other Russian fisheries only for the hardy or the mosquito resistant – at least so far as UK rods are concerned – and the autumn season of the Umba yet to start, August is a non-peak month on the salmon rivers of the Kola Peninsula. But Russia's trophy salmon river, the Yokanga, which had a good July this year, is set for the late show as the season rolls to a high summer climax. ... Full story
Miramichi in summer close-down mode
Hit by a summer drought and high water temperatures (see recent picture, left), the Miramichi River in New Brunswick, Canada, has announced a closure of its main salmon fishings as anglers await further rain. It is felt anglers wading in cold-water pools, many of which are where tributaries enter the river, could disturb salmon that have gathered to seek refuge. ... Full story
Blue Charmed, I'm sure
So there I was on the Norwegian Flyfishers Club beats of the River Gaula last week. It was Friday and after a fishless first four days I went from the Blues to being, if you will, Blue Charmed within the space of five hours. Allow me to explain how it happened. ... Full story
Iceland: the other side of the coin
It is now well documented how the north Atlantic jetstream has disturbed the UK's summer weather to an even greater extent than usual but the situation for those who head to Iceland in search of its summer harvest of silver Atlantic salmon has presented the opposite to flash flooding in England's home counties. There, an extended drought has put the dampeners on sport and a recent report from fieldsports agent Roxtons shows catches around 30 per cent down on west and north coast rivers. ... Full story

Vitamin D and Osteoporosis
It is estimated that over 25 million adults in the United States have, or are at risk of developing, osteoporosis. Adequate storage levels of vitamin D help keep bones strong and help prevent osteoporosis in older adults. Vitamin D deficiency results in diminished calcium absorption, and has been linked to a higher incidence of osteoporosis-related bone fractures seen in post menopausal women and older Americans.
In a review of women with osteoporosis hospitalized for hip fractures, 50 percent were found to have vitamin D deficiency.1 Daily supplementation with 20g (800 IU) of vitamin D has been shown to reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures in elderly populations with low blood levels of vitamin D.2 The Decalyos II study examined the effect of combined calcium and vitamin D supplementation in a group of elderly women who were able to walk indoors with a cane or walker.
The women were studied for two years, and results showed that supplementation significantly reduced the risk of hip fractures, and that vitamin D was more effective than calcium.3 Clearly, any woman being counseled or treated for osteoporosis should have her vitamin D status checked with a blood test and appropriately supplemented to assure a normal level.
For more on vitamin D, check out these previous posts:

We consider a system of "n" particles whose total energy E and net momentum $\vec{P}$ are fixed are fixed.There no net force on the system(assumed)
$$\Sigma \epsilon_i= E$$ $$\Sigma\vec{p_i}=\vec{P}$$ For an individual particle its momentnum and energy remain constant for the time $\tau$,the relaxation time(average time between successive collisions----a constant). That's an extra constraint for each particle [Radiational energy density at some point is assumed to be constant for some physically small time interval]
All that seem to indicate that classical theories favor the discretization of energy levels in the equilibrium state. It is important to note that for each particle to satisfy on the mass shell condition we should have: $$\epsilon_i^2-p_i^2=m_0^2c^4$$ The above equation is frame invariant.Any theoretical speculation considering energy and momentum independent of each other should correspond to what we understand by "off the mass shell" situation An orbiting electron in an atom ,so far as the classical theories are concerned , should radiate energy. But it can also receive energy form other particles.The net radiation from a block of iron at constant temperature is zero.This should favor the discretization of the electronic orbits in the atoms in the expected manner.
[For a cluster of charged particles one should take into account the electromagnetic potential energy of the system( a closed system ) due to the presence of charges and currents.This energy for the system should be considered constant for our model]
Should we use intuition(commonsense classical theories ) to interpret QM with the understanding that the results of observation should not change in view of the system interacting with the measuring instrument and that QM will be no less useful to human activity?

I have a record turntable which has an audio output cable so I've connected it to my 12.10 box. Says there's no drivers required and checking pulse audio I can see that there is sound coming in whenever I play a record.
However I can't seem to output that through my headphone or speaker ports. I've tried using alsamixer and unmuted line in which didn't do much. Can you please help me out? I may have missed something glaringly obvious. But I've checked all the sound settings.

Unlock New cars and tracks
To unlock cars and tracks, compete in the GT Career mode. You can earn money there to upgrade your cars, and buy or sell new and used ones.
Transfer Files
If you have a save file from GT3 you can import money and licenses into GT4. You can transfer license qualifications but you do not receive the unlockable items that come with the license when you get them without importing. You can transfer money up to 100,000 dollars. This can only be done once.
Best Starting Car
To smoke the competition at the beginning of the game purchase the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR '92, on sale in the Used Car Showroom I.
Horse Power
When you buy or receive a new car, before driving it change the oil. This will increase the Horse Power of the car, which sometimes can be a pretty significant increase.
Use of NOS
If you install a NOS system on your car, you can tap into it by pressing the [R1] button. The Nitro guage is located to the right of the dash. Once it is empty, you will need to take a pit stop to refuel it or wait for it to slowly recharge.
Fast Racing For Fast Profit
Start out with any vehicle you like. When you make enough money to make your vehicle faster using the beginner hall, move over the the special conditions Hall. Defeat the first race (Rally d' Umbria) and you will receive a Cadillac CIEN '02. Get more money and put more power into your Cadillac CIEN '02 (you won't have to if you don't want to). The CIEN will gain almost 1000+ HP. Go to the second race with the CEIN in the Special Conditions Hall called Rally d' Capri. After you win that race you will get a Toyota RSC Rally Raid Car '02 which you can sell for more than $230,000+. Keep racing that race and keep making the money.
To obtain over 260,000 credits easily just take your best car and take it into the Rally d' Capri easy in the Special Conditions hall. Once you obtain the car sell it and you get over 260,000 credits. You can repeat this over and over and soon enough you should be able to afford anything you want.
Enter the European Hall event 1000 Miles! I recommend either the Ginetta G4 '64 (won from Beginner Lightweight K Cup) or the Chevelle SS 454 '70 (won from American Muscle Car Championship). Enter the Cote d'Azur race (I think the last one works just the same). Make sure your car's HP is near or above 200. Put it on B-spec, 5-Push, overtake, 3x speed. Come back after a couple hours (this works best if you leave it overnight). You should have won the race, along with 150,000 credits! This can also be done with the championship race, which is 4 races. 4 races times 150,000 credits plus 300,000 credit prize equals 900,000 credits. The prize car is crappy, but who cares, you have 900,000 credits from doing nothing!
