New Mexico horse racing regulators have brought down discipline on a trainer after four horses tested positive for Viagra. According to NBC News on Feb. 14, 2014, the positive test came last July at Ruidoso Downs for a prohibited drug that is an ingredient in Viagra.
Yes, Viagra...in horses.
John Stinebaugh received a total of four suspensions - one per horse - that added up to 16 years and a $40,000 fine. He must forfeit $8,000 in purse winnings as well.
The drug found in the horses, and that is found in Viagra, is Sildenafil.
"That drug has no business being in a horse. It has no medicinal or therapeutic value in a horse," Racing Commission Executive Vince Mares said.
Mares said that the drug actually increases a horse's cardiac output and the increased endurance allowed them to run faster.
The penalty on Stinebaugh for the Viagra found in the horses is thought to be rather tough, according to Mares, but for good reason. Stinebaugh had a previous infraction involving a different drug and New Mexico has also recently toughened up its penalties.
Suspensions can actually run up to 25 years as a "proactive approach to the doping problem in New Mexico."
Stinebaugh can appeal the ruling by Thursday.

Python IDE
By user12607856 on Jul 12, 2006
Just over a year ago, I started learning Python and blogged about my early experiences. I love the power of Python, Gtk+ and Glade for rapid code generation, and find Python the perfect language for the work I'm doing.
That work is in helping to develop the Orca screen reader. This will allow people who are blind or have low vision, to have access to the GNOME desktop via speech, braille and screen magnification.
One of my frustrations with developing Orca is that we've been using the equivalent of print statements to get debugging information. The amount of information that is output depends of the debug level you've set. For anything that isn't covered by these print statements, you just add in your own extra print statements. This is rather primitive and reminds me of my early days in writing Java code back in 1996 before decent Java debuggers came along.
Why don't we just use NetBeans with it's Python support? The problem is that NetBeans (which is written in Java) is accessible. What we need here is something that isn't accessible so that when things happen in the Python IDE and/or debugger (things like text being displayed), they aren't generating extra accessibility (at-spi) events, which would interfere with the testing of the accessible application that Orca is currently working with.
When we are testing Orca, we either have to send all of our debug output
to a file, or run Orca in something that isn't accessible (like
xterm) and
use the
script command to capture a transcript of what's been
I therefore needed an inaccessible Python IDE/Debugger. I googled for Python IDE and eric3 was the top hit. As it's written in Python and uses Qt, which is currently not accessible using at-spi -- although that's been worked on -- it was perfect.
As Solaris now automatically comes with JDS/GNOME, setting up a Qt development environment and all the other dependancies that eric3 needs wasn't a slam dunk, but it wasn't all that hard. I've included my notes below in case there is anybody else who is interested in doing this.
When I first started up eric3, and saw all the grey blank icons,
I was convinced I'd done something wrong and that the application wasn't
finding the location where all the icon glyphs were stored. After starting
to look at the eric3
I can see that
this look is perfectly okay and is to be
the gray presumably indicating currently
unavailable insensitive options.
I'm now at the point where I'm going to work through the eric3tutorials and see if this is going to work nicely with debugging Orca. I'll probably have more to report in a few days time.

MP Strahl finds the Hot Spot while Chasing the Golden Butterfly
by sumitted to the Hope Standard
MP Chuck Strahl does a little hi-tech treasure hunting help from geocaching expert Justing Moore.
MP Chuck Strahl does a little hi-tech treasure hunting help from geocaching expert Justing Moore.
Updated: July 28, 2009 4:28 PM
"I'd love to get one of these for Christmas."
Chuck Strahl's grin was as wide as the forks of the Fraser and Thompson Rivers as he made his first geocaching find while Chasing the Golden Butterfly.
The Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP and Indian and Northern Affairs Minister used a GPS device to find a cache stashed near Lytton's Hot Spot last Wednesday (July 22) while on a tour of his riding. Strahl received a little help from New Pathways to Gold Society (NPTGS) geocache expert Justin Moore of Cache Creek during his hi-tech treasure hunt.
It was part of a demonstration and update by NPTGS on Chasing the Golden Butterfly, a heritage tourism initiative combining a traditional passport program with the rapidly-expanding pastime of geocaching.
The minister also got his Chasing the Golden Butterfly passport stamped at the Lytton Visitor Centre by summer student Elizabeth Ng.
Strahl said he was impressed with the program, which is the result of a partnership between NPTGS, tourism organizations, corporate and community partners.
"It's a great program and it's creating a lot of buzz out there," said Strahl, who was especially pleased his hometown of Spuzzum is included in the passport.
The program helps travellers discover powerful transformer gods, ride with Chinese cowboys and walk down the Grand Boulevard of B.C. history. The colourful, 60-page passport document has pictures, fun facts and maps for 88 living history sites on three different routes. It also features the adventures of three period characters as they "chase the Golden Butterfly," a term used in D.W. Higgins' book on the 1858 Fraser River Rush, The Mystic Spring.
Geocache enthusiasts can check out the NPTGS website or geocaching.com to find associated sites using their GPS devices. Travellers often use both passport and GPS to explore some of the most beautiful and culturally significant regions of B.C. Passports are free and available at participating Visitor Centres, Husky and Mohawk service stations and other partner outlets.

I downloaded the google play app, and it says I need to add an account to access. When I go to accounts/sync and add account, I do not get the same prompts as I do on my phone. The phone asks which type of account, whereas my tablet shows these prompts:
Domain/username Password Server
The server prompt automatically has "gmail.com", the password field is already filled, and the domain/username field displays "/my username". Trying the preset fields, yields a "unable to connect to server" message. Where do I go from here?

I've bought a domainname and pointed it to my amazon EC2 instance (example: ec2-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com), and it works, but when I go to www.example.com, the long amazon public dns adress shows upp in the url field. Is there a way to make it stay www.example.com?
When you say "pointed it to", it sounds like you have used a URL forwarding mechanism rather than proper DNS hosting.
To do this right, you will need to have somebody do DNS hosting for you, probably the same company that you registered your domain through. You will configure the name servers on your domain to point to them, then using their DNS configuration settings, configure the address of your EC2 instance as the registered host for service on that domain.
Lastly, you should change the host name in apache or whatever web server software you are using so that it understands what domain name it is supposed to be accepting traffic for.
Us the Amazon Elastic IP service to get a static IP address for your EC2 instance. Then have your domain registrar point your domain to the static IP. If you don't use the Elastic IP service you have no guarantee of keeping the same IP address when you reboot your server for maintenance.

Loosely Coupled
By webmink on Aug 28, 2006
As I have been preparing for speaking events recently, I have started to realise that there's a common thread joining all the projects I have been involved in over the last decade. In 1995, I was one of the five instigators of the use of the Java platform at IBM; in 1997 I was IBM's spokesman for the newly emerging XML standard; in 2001 I was involved at Sun in what would become known as Service Oriented Architectures (SOA); today, I have a deep interest in OpenDocument format (ODF).
It may seem surprising that all these are connected, but they are. As I have been explaining now for a decade, the source of many costs in IT infrastructures result from different organisational units with no (or distant) shared management being forced to create technical interdependencies in order to co-operate. The less technology we are forced to share in order to co-operate, the less we will have to pay to get started and the less we will need to pay in the future to maintain - or remove - the ability. We need to stay loosely-coupled - connected by the least possible thread of technology.
What forces us to share technology in order to collaborate? Closedness. When solutions are single-vendor, when they use formats and APIs that aren't open (either by being non-standard or predicating use of a closed technology), using them for co-operative activities couples us to each other at a technology level. The opposite of this, promoting free choice and loose technology coupling, is open standards implemented as open source in open communities.
When we are loosely-coupled in this way, we can make our own decisions about what technologies to use within our own span of control, and you can make your own decisions on all these things, yet we are still able to co-operate over the things that matter to us. So each of the things I listed above express this principle. Java technology decouples applications from platforms; XML decouples data from applications; SOA decouple processing end-points; ODF decouples desktop data from the tool that maintains it. Each of these things potentially enables the freedom to leave.

College Hockey:NMU's Contois Granted Final Year Of Eligibility
Andrew Contois, whose collegiate eligibility at Northern Michigan had apparently been exhausted earlier this year, has been granted a final year after a review of the school's appeal by the NCAA.
Contois began his collegiate career at Lake Superior State before transferring to NMU during his freshman year. Previously, the NCAA had counted his time at LSSU as a full season as he appeared in eight games with the Lakers, and his two and a half seasons with the Wildcats exhausted his four years of eligibility.
"When we first got word that Andrew would be ineligible we knew that we would go through the process to try to get him eligible," head coach Walt Kyle said. "Part of the process was to appeal to the NCAA." It was determined during a yearly review in the spring by the compliance officer at NMU that Contois had used up his eligibility.
Contois was 19-17-36 for the 2004-05 season, led the team in goals and was second in points. For his NMU career, Contois has appeared in 94 games with 27 goals, 38 assists for 66 points. He must sit one game during the 2005-06 season as a condition of his extension of eligibility.
"A lot of work and detail was done by people in the NMU Athletic Department to make this happen," Kyle added. "We were hopeful and confident that the appeal would be granted. This will allow him to compete and graduate."

Raleigh, NC—The Ruby on Rails web framework is the framework for modern, accelerated web development, and Agile Web Development with Rails, 4th Edition (Pragmatic Bookshelf, $43.95) remains the definitive guide to this fundamental technology.
Rails 3 and Ruby 1.9 bring hundreds of improvements, including new APIs and substantial performance enhancements. The fourth edition of this award-winning classic has been reorganized and refocused so it's more useful than ever before for developers new to Ruby and Rails.
Rails 3 is a major release—the changes aren't just incremental, but structural. So we decided to follow suit. This book isn't just a mild reworking of the previous edition to make it run with the new Rails. Instead, it's a complete refactoring.
You'll still find the Depot example at the front, but you'll also find testing knitted right in. Gone are the long reference chapters—that's what the web does best. Instead you'll find more targeted information on all the aspects of Rails that you'll need to be a successful Web developer.
Ruby on Rails helps you produce high-quality, beautiful-looking web applications quickly. You concentrate on creating the application, and Rails takes care of the details.
Tens of thousands of developers have used this award-winning book to learn Rails. It's a broad, far-reaching tutorial and reference that's recommended by the Rails core team. If you're new to Rails, you'll get step-by-step guidance. If you're an experienced developer, this book will give you the comprehensive, insider information you need.
Rails has evolved over the years, and this book has evolved along with it. We still start with a step-by-step walkthrough of building a real application, and in-depth chapters look at the built-in Rails features. This edition now gives new Ruby and Rails users more information on the Ruby language and takes more time to explain key concepts throughout. Best practices on how to apply Rails continue to change, and this edition keeps up. Examples use cookie backed sessions, HTTP authentication, and Active Record-based forms, and the book focuses throughout on the right way to use Rails. Additionally, this edition now reflects Ruby 1.9, a new release of Ruby with substantial functional and performance improvements.
Available in epub, mobi, and PDF direct from the publisher and in paperback from fine bookstores worldwide.
Advance Praise "After reading through the latest edition cover to cover, I can happily say that it continues that trend and remains the first book I recommend to any new Rails developer." —Mikel Lindsaar, Rails core commit team, creator of the Ruby Mail library, and director, RubyX
"I've never read a programming book as successful as Agile Web Development with Rails. Sam made learning Ruby on Rails easy, comprehensive, and fun." —Keith Ballinger, Chairman of WS-I's first Basic Profile working group; author; and key contributor to the .NET and Visual Studio .NET frameworks

Very glad to learn a lot from you this meaningful knowledge. From an article describing your unique way
We absolutely love your blog and find most of your post's to be exactly I'm looking for.
can you offer guest writers to write content for you?
I wouldn't mind composing a post or elaborating on a few of
the subjects you write regarding here. Again, awesome site!
No this isn't any country song, but a short description of Audiosurf – A rhythm game that transforms your chosen music into a rhythmic highway.
Feet deformities like bunions and hammer-toes are very rare among children who wear no shoes, in contrast to those who
do, where such deformities are commonly detected. It goes without saying that animal
products such as leather are not going to appear here (even without
considering the disturbing environmental impact of the tanning process and glues used for example).
Wow that was odd. I just wrote an really long
comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn't appear.
Grrrr... well I'm not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted to say fantastic blog!
I'm now not sure the place you're getting your info, but good topic.
I must spend a while studying much more or working out more.
Thank you for fantastic information I was searching for this information for my mission.

What the hell is going on, politicians want Double Redundancy packages if their electorates kick them out of office!!! The rationale they are trying is "If you leave parliament you have signed a political card which means the opportunities for a job are limited" What the …?. It seems that if we throw a politician out of office, because we do not, trust, or believe, or want them, they cant to be allowed to be given even more money because their feelings got hurt.
They claim they are less likely to get employment outside of Parliament, however that I would think would be reliant on how you have conducted yourself, and whether your trust and loyalty have been proven, and even whether you actually have any real ability to gain employment. For the others, that was supposedly why they got the ridiculous Parliamentary Pension Scheme. It allows for the possibility of not gaining employment outside of politics.
So cut the bull, and that includes Barnaby Joyce and all the other Coalition money grabbers.But especially this Gillard regime that are feathering their nest with the knowledge they will be ousted for their lies and inefficiency. Why should we give them even more money, when we will be firing them for their dictatorial style of Government and failure to act in the Australian peoples best interests.
We must all stand up and say 'Get Your Grubby Hands Off Our Taxes' before they rob us blind. Actually I would let them have this money if they would go to an election NOW it would be worth it to be rid of at least the worst of them.
regards Kev.

It only became official on Sunday night, but Kansas State players knew where they were headed on Saturday night following their Big 12-clinching victory over Texas at home.
On Sunday, though, everything became official when the Wildcats accepted the invitation to play in the Fiesta Bowl against at-large selection Oregon on Jan. 3 in Glendale, Ariz.
The Wildcats are excited about the opportunity to play to the program's first BCS game since the 2003 season.
Senior linebacker Jarell Childs celebrated Saturday night's big win, but also said the Wildcats' new focus is on one thing — bowl preparation.
"Once we start practicing again, we'll start moving on, but we're going to celebrate (the Big 12 Championship)," Childs said Saturday. "But once we figure out who we're playing, practice will be moving on. We'll be prepared for anybody we play. We have great coaches who put us in great situations."
The Fiesta Bowl, taking place at University of Phoenix Stadium, is exactly one month away and sophomore wide receiver Tyler Lockett said he's ready for the hard work that goes in to preparing for such a high-caliber game.
"We have a month to get ready for it," Lockett said Saturday. "So, we just have to go out there and just bust our butts off in practice to get ready for that game."
Lockett said it was the team's hard work that got the Wildcats into a BCS bowl game, despite being picked to finish sixth in the Big 12.
Senior linebacker Justin Tuggle agreed.
"It's just amazing that we've got to this point," Tuggle said, "that we would actually win the Big 12 and have a BCS berth. We're just so excited for the opportunity. I'm so proud of everyone out there. I love all those guys. It's just amazing to see what hard work does, how hard work pays off."
For one Wildcat, the Fiesta Bowl hits a little closer to home. Five years ago senior wide receiver Chris Harper began his career with the Ducks as a quarterback. It was during Harper's freshman year that he rushed for a touchdown, threw a touchdown and caught a touchdown.
The Wichita native transferred to K-State for his final three seasons.
"I think Chris is going to be really excited," Lockett said. "He was hoping for this moment, too. We would have wished it was the national championship if we played them, but I bet Chris is really embracing this moment right now."
This matchup was supposed to be for the national title, as both teams were ranked in the top two just three weeks ago before both teams were upset the same night.
K-State was No. 1 before losing at Baylor and Oregon was ranked No. 2 when it lost to Stanford.
Now the Wildcats have a chance to make history for head coach Bill Snyder by going 12-1 for the first time in school history.
Lockett said being able to get his coach another Big 12 title is something he'll always remember, but winning the Fiesta Bowl would be something else.
"To see Coach Snyder smile, you don't really get to see that a lot, so just being able to see him smile allows us to keep on pushing, keep on fighting," Lockett said. "We have one more game to win and if we win that game, we make history, and I'm pretty sure he'll smile for the rest of the year."

The resolution of the tumultuous presidential race may prove to be a happy beginning for the supermarket industry, association executives told SN last week. Industry trade groups said they expect President-elect Bush to garner bipartisan support on issues important to them, and added that they can be more aggressive with their agendas under a Republican-controlled White House and Congress. They also said they were relieved to have been spared a Gore presidency and what they perceived to be ...

Tucson, Ariz. – The University of Arizona Wildcats soccer team began the 2014 campaign on Wednesday with a fitness test in the morning followed by a two-hour session at Mulcahy Stadium in the evening.
"It's the best time of the year," head coach Tony Amato said. "We're excited to get up and running. They've been chomping at the bit to actually get out here and play. They haven't been able to work with us (coaching staff) and it's been a lot of work with our strength coach."
The fitness test that the squad participated in, is called "the beep test." The test entails running continuously between two points that are usually 20 mters apart from side to side. These runs are synchronized with a beep or whistle, at set intervals. As the test proceeds, the interval between each successive beep decreases, forcing the athlete to increase their speed over the course of the test, until it is impossible to keep in sync with the recording or if the athlete completes the test.
"The beep test is what you would expect," Amato said. "They've been working hard all summer and they came in fit. Some need some work but it was a good start and it was exactly what you would expect on the first day."
Later in the evening, the squad convened at Mulcahy Stadium for the first official practice of the season, breaking in their new cleats as well as the new Nike soccer balls.
"There was a lot of energy, a lot of excitement," Amato said. "I thought they carried that energy from the start of practice through to the end of the practice. We have to fine-tune a lot of that excitement and channel it in the right direction, in terms of how we want to play. If they weren't excited and didn't have a lot of energy today, we would be asking a lot of questions. We feel good about it and we'll keep moving forward."
The Wildcats will return to practice on Thursday for two sessions at Mulcahy Stadium.

GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina will close a two-game homestand and resume Conference USA play when it hosts the Houston Cougars for a 12 noon regionally-televised matchup on Saturday, Nov. 3, at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. The Pirates, who are just one victory away from becoming bowl eligible for the sixth time in the last seven seasons, will also try to extend a two-game winning-streak against league opponents. ECU, which is 5-4 at the nine-game mark for the fifth time in the last seven years, will play the second of three inter-divisional contests on its 2012 schedule when it meets UH.
East Carolina Records and Streaks
|East Carolina
Pirates Downed In Houston, 56-3
East Carolina gave up two quick touchdowns to Houston Saturday night and could not recover as the Cougars cruised to a 56-3 Conference USA victory at Robertson Stadium.
The Pirates Against the Cougars
East Carolina leads 6-5 ... Oddly, the Pirates have captured four of six meetings in Houston, but have dropped three of five matchups played at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium ... The last meeting in Greenville between the teams was a 38-32 ECU victory in the 2009 C-USA Championship Game.
Ruffin McNeill Against Houston
Ruffin McNeill has faced Houston as a coach only twice (0-2) prior to Saturday's game ... In addition to last year's Cougar rout at Robertson Stadium while heading the ECU program, McNeill and his Texas Tech Red Raiders dropped a 29-28 non-conference decision at UH on Sept. 26, 2009.
Tony Levine Against the Pirates
Tony Levine has been on the winning sideline in three of four all-time meetings against ECU, taking two of three with Houston after helping Louisville to a victory in 2004 while on the Cardinals' coaching staff ... His fingerprints are on two of the Pirates' worst 10 defeats in program history after racking up 56-3 (-53) and 59-7 (-52) wins for UH (2011) and UofL (2004), respectively.
Last Meeting In Greenville - East Carolina 38 - Houston 32
Senior Van Eskridge's pair of fourth-quarter interceptions, including a game-saver in the Pirate endzone with only 42 seconds remaining, helped East Carolina stave off a Houston comeback attempt and capture its second Conference USA championship in as many tries ... The Pirates survived a 56-of-75, 527-yard, five-touchdown passing effort by Cougar quarterback Case Keenum by picking off three throws, two in their own endzone ... On the other side of the ball, ECU used 262 air yards from Patrick Pinkney and a 151-yard team rushing day, which included a pair of ground scores each from Dominique Lindsay and Giavanni Ruffin ... In all, the Pirates forced four turnovers and cashed the first three miscues into 17 points ... Eskridge added a 30-yard return on his first interception to the UH seven-yard line to set up a Lindsay scoring run that pushed the ECU lead to 31-19 with 13:27 to play ... After stuffing the Pirates on a fourth-down try inside UH territory with 1:47 remaining, Keenum rallied Houston down to the ECU 34 before Eskridge's heroics.
C-USA Title Memories For Only Five
Five current East Carolina players experienced action against Houston in the 2009 C-USA Championship Game, thus representing the only Pirates with multi-game histories vs. the Cougars.
Against the Lone Star State
The Pirates have won 17 of 28 all-time matchups (17-11) against FBS programs from the state of Texas ... ECU is 6-5 against UH, 3-1 vs. UTEP, 2-2 vs. Rice, 2-1 vs. TCU, 2-2 vs. SMU, 1-0 vs. Texas Tech and 1-0 against North Texas ... East Carolina has never faced current Big 12 Conference members Baylor, Texas A&M or Texas on the gridiron.
Ruffin McNeill vs. Texas
Although he's only 1-4 against Texas-based FBS institutions as East Carolina's head coach (a 28-18 win against UTEP earlier this season was his first), Ruffin McNeill has recorded an all-time record of 37-20 (.649) when coaching against Lone Star State opponents ... Most of the games occurred when McNeill was wearing the Red & Black while on the Texas Tech staff, including a combined 30 contests against Baylor (10-0), Texas (2-8) and Texas A&M (7-3) ... He's also battled SMU (6-3), TCU (3-1), UTEP (4-1), Rice (3-2), North Texas (2-0) and Houston (0-2).
Playing The Wild West
East Carolina owns a 13-9 mark (8-3/home, 5-6/road) against the "other side" since the league began divisional play in 2005 - sweeping Tulane (three meetings), taking three of four from UTEP (two), splitting with SMU (four), Tulsa (four) and Rice (four), while dropping two of three to Houston ... The Pirates were 1-2 in 2011 after defeating the Green Wave and falling to the Cougars and Miners after a similar 1-2 ledger in Ruffin McNeill's first campaign (2010) ... ECU was 2-1 in 2009 and also took two of three regular season matchups in 2008 (3-0/2007, 1-2/'06, 2-1/'05) ... On the flipside, East Carolina has booked a 28-11 overall mark against foes in its own East Division.
League Statistical Comparison
In its five C-USA contests this year, East Carolina has averaged 31.0 points, 122.6 rushing yards, 284.2 passing yards and 406.8 total yards per game so far ... By comparison, the Pirates booked 19.8 ppg, 117.8 rypg, 223.2 pypg and 341.0 ypg averages in their four NC tilts.
Last Time Out - Navy 56 - East Carolina 28
Navy's triple-option offensive attack generated 512 rushing yards and helped the Midshipmen score on eight of 11 possessions during a 56-28 non-conference triumph over East Carolina ... The ground total was the second-highest ever recorded at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, trailing only a 521-yard performance during Navy's 76-35 rout in 2010 ... Of the three non-successful drives, two were kneel-downs to close the first and second halves, while the other was an interception by the Pirates' Chip Thompson in the ECU end zone to thwart another scoring threat ... After spotting the Mids an early 14-0 lead, East Carolina evened the contest in the second quarter on a nine-yard Justin Hardy touchdown catch and Reggie Bullock's two-yard scoring run ... Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds personally answered with 28-straight tallies, reaching paydirt on three short-yardage keepers and connecting with Casey Bolena on a 15-yard strike to push the lead to 42-14 late in the third period ... Twelve Midshipmen ball-carriers collectively averaged 7.4 yards per rush attempt.
At Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium - 3-1 in 2012
East Carolina's all-time record at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium is 165-85-1 (.659) ... The Pirates opened the facility on Sept. 21, 1963 with a 20-10 win over Brian Piccolo and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in front of 17,000 fans ... Before a 3-3 mark in 2011 and a 4-2 clip in 2010, ECU won a combined 10 of 12 home matchups in 2009 (6-1) and 2008 (4-1) ... Overall, ECU has turned in 36 winning seasons at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
The Pirate Nation - 7 Million Strong
East Carolina has always been able to claim plenty of hometown support, even more so when playing at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on Saturdays during the fall - establishing itself as C-USA's attendance leader on an annual basis ... In all, a total of 7,011,319 fans have seen the Pirates in action since 1963, and in the last four-plus years, ECU has averaged 46,510 (1,209,256/26 regular season games) ... Since the completion of a 7,000-seat expansion project in 2010 that pushed the capacity to 50,000, the Pirates have set back-to-back school records in total attendance and season average attendance, breaking 2010 marks (297,987/49,665) with 300,069 and 50,012 figures in 2011 ... The Pirates have opened the 2012 campaign by welcoming 49,023 to the Appalachian State game, 47,817 to the UTEP clash, 45,137 to the Memphis contest and 48,327 to the Navy battle.
Analyzing the 2012 Starters By Class
The list of starters for ECU's first seven games include three freshmen (CB Josh Hawkins, OLB Montese Overton, NT Terrell Stanley), nine sophomores (SS Desi Brown, QB Shane Carden, OLB Maurice Falls, ILB Jeremy Grove, IWR Justin Hardy, C Taylor Hudson, DE Chrishon Rose, IWR Danny Webster, NT Terry Williams), 17 juniors (CB Adonis Armstrong, RB Vintavious Cooper, OG Jordan Davis, RB Michael Dobson, OT Adhem Elsawi, OLB Derrell Johnson, QB Rio Johnson, DE John Lattimore, FS Damon Magazu, FB/IWR Zico Pasut, NT Lee Pegues, OWR Lance Ray, OG Will Simmons, SS Chip Thompson, ILB Kyle Tudor, OWR Reese Wiggins, OLB Gabriel Woullard) and eight seniors (OWR Andrew Bodenheimer, RB Reggie Bullock, NT Michael Brooks, C Josh Clark, ILB Daniel Drake, IWR Derrick Harris, CB Jacobi Jenkins, OT Robert Jones).
Already A Popular Target
Sophomore IWR Justin Hardy ranks among the top five active career leaders in receptions per game ... He has already surpassed the 100-yard mark four times in 2012 and logged three career double-digit catch games.
Cooper A Committee Of One
Junior RB Vintavious Cooper has led East Carolina in rushing the last eight contests, and in the last five games (UTEP, UCF, Memphis, UAB, Navy), has averaged 119.6 ground yards per outing ... He followed a 151-yard performance with 96 and 58 yards vs. the Tigers and Knights, respectively, before booking career highs in carries (26) and yards (172) against the Blazers - the highest rushing total by a Pirate since 2009 (172 by Dominique Lindsay vs. Memphis) - and adding 121 against Navy last week ... Cooper (751 yards) currently accounts for nearly 70 percent (69.3) of the Pirates' overall rushing yardage in 2012.
Back-to-Back Triples
Cooper's back-to-back triple-digit rushing efforts (UAB/Navy) were the first by a Pirate since Chris Johnson tallied 155 and 223 against Tulane and Boise State, respectively, to close out the 2007 campaign ... Marvin Townes was the last ECU back to record three-straight 100-yard rushing contests - picking up 118 (UH), 100 (UNC) and 184 (Army) consecutively in 2003.
Finding A New (Offensive) Gear
After generating only a combined 461 total yards (230.5 ypg) against Southern Miss (228) and North Carolina (233), East Carolina appears to have found its offensive throttle in its last five games ... The Pirates have racked up a collective 2,144 vs. UTEP (475), UCF (362), Memphis (369), UAB (season-high 600) and Navy (338) - an average of 428.8 yards per contest ... In fact, the 217 rushing yards against the Miners was a Ruffin McNeill era best, while the 600 total yards gained at UAB ranked as the eighth-best performance in program history ( fourth-highest ever logged on the road).
Rolling The Dice Well
The Pirates rank among the nation's top five in fourth down conversion percentage this season, successfully handling six-of-seven attempts (85.7 percent) so far ... ECU has been perfect in four contests during the 2012 campaign - 2-2 vs. Navy; 1-1 vs. South Carolina, North Carolina and UAB; and were 1-2 against UCF.
Cashing In Redzone Visits
ECU has cashed in 13-straight redzone visits, beginning with its last three against Memphis and a 10-of-10 ledger vs. UAB (6-6) and Navy (4-4).
An Encore For Grove?
Sophomore ILB Jeremy Grove, who earned inclusion on four Freshman All-America squads in 2011 after booking a rookie school-record 122 stops, currently ranks third nationally among all active career defenders in tackles per game ... He's tallied nine hits in five of nine games this season.
To Pillage And Plunder
The Pirates have recorded a takeaway in 25 of its last 29 games ... In all, East Carolina has created two or more turnovers in nine of the last 16 games, which includes two against Memphis, three each vs. Appalachian State and Southern Miss, and a season-high four vs. UTEP this year ... ECU has won 13 of 18 games (13-5) when it forces two or more turnovers in the Ruffin McNeill era, but are just 3-13 in contests when it doesn't ... The Pirates currently rank 18th nationally in fumbles recovered with nine - the seventh-highest total among all FBS programs - and are only one of 11 teams who have returned at least two for TDs (vs. ASU, USM).
Conference / National Individual Rankings
Inside receiver Justin Hardy ranks second in the conference in receiving yards per game (86.67) and punt return average (9.00), fifth in receptions per contest (6.33), ninth in all-purpose yards (98.67) and tied for 13th in scoring (6.00) ...

The team is fifth in passing offense (257.11) and turnover margin (-.22) ... ECU is also among the top half of the conference in pass defense (245.22 - sixth) and sacks allowed (2.44 - sixth).

Anyone with EXPERIENCE breastfeeding on trileptal?
I was on trileptal during pregnancy and had it tracked for safety and data. I checked with doctors/pharmacists on its safety. I had a very healthy baby boy but there's NO data on breastfeeding! My pediatrician hasn't had anyone breastfeeding on it. He told me he felt it was fine. Personally I feel practically anything is better than formula. I was just wondering if any mothers out there had experience? If you don't I'm not really interested in your opinion. You'd have to be in my situation to understand and I'm a very healthy person who needs one medicine. And I was very responsible with getting my pregnancy tracked and checking with doctors/pharmacists. Thanks to anyone who can give me some insight on what it was like for you!

Wow I am so excited to see this post. I am on trileptal with my third child. I was on trileptal with my second and he is a healthy boy. My dose has lowered to 600 and so far so good! I did not breastfeed with my second child due to concerns about trileptal but my neurologist said I could have. I am now debating about doing it this time. I would like to know if the person who posted this decided to breastfeed?posted 02/17/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
I just wanted to say that Trileptal wasent enough for me to keep spasms away. I had to go back to Depakine. In pregnancy they were enough to keep me and my baby safe. But obviously then my body, my brain that is, functioned differently. I had to stop breastfeeding and I am now slowly transitioning from Trileptal to Depakine. 2 T's in the morning and 1 D in the evening. I still have spasms but less. Only on T were awful. I didn't lose consciousness but they shook me so hard that I fell down on the floor, hit wall with my back etc. Thank God I didn't had my baby in my hands :( It's better now, Depakine helps... But I can't and never could breastfeed not even with another baby. And for that i feel like I failed at something... :(posted 02/24/2013 by ivanche
I breastfed exclusively for nine months while taking trileptal. My neurologist monitored me more closely during and after giving birth so that I could be on the lowest possible dose thus exposing my baby to the least amount. I too had many worries and spoke to many doctors about the safety of taking this drug while pregnant and breastfeeding. If it wasn't safe doctors would've advised me to not take it while pregnant, let alone while nursing. I'm very happy I breastfed. My daughter is almost a year and is healthy and happy. She is meeting all of her milestones. Two pieces of advice: Take lots of folic acid BEFORE getting pregnant. The period of time when it is MOST important to the developing fetus is oftentimes before a woman even knows she's pregnant yet. While weaning from the breast take your medicine on time and never miss a dose. I missed a dose while weaning and due to the hormonal changes my body was going through I had a seizure.posted 02/16/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
I was also taking trileptal during my pregnancy. I gave birth to my daughter a month ago. She had cramps almost since the first day. We tryed everything and still have no idea why is thaf so. I dont have alot of breastmilk, almost nothing, but I still try to push it. It seems to me that my breastfeeding plus epilepsy has two sideafects. My baby has belly cramps because of the Trileptal and i have spasams because of the oxitocine...hormons before pms were always my problem. I have to be at my neuroloist next friday and now I am affaid to breastfeed. What if Im wrong and lose o do little milk I have since then. Breastpump doesn't work, she squezzes couple of drops, nothing compering to what I see she can suck out... Anyone, If U have a suggdestion or a expiriance please help... Btw, sry for my bad spelling, I'm from Croatia... ;)posted 01/09/2013 by ivanche
The general rule of thumb is that anything that was safe to take during pregnancy is also safe while breastfeeding. While pregnant medications in your system are transmitted to the baby, same while breastfeeding.posted 08/09/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

(Section Not Complete)
Photons always travel at the speed of light, but they lose energy when travelling out of a gravitational field and appear to be redder to an external observer. The stronger the gravitational field, the more energy the photons lose because of this gravitational redshift. The extreme case is a black hole where photons from within a certain radius lose all their energy and become invisible. Indeed, light in the vicinity of such strong gravitational fields exhibits quite bizarre behavior. Here are links to some movies illustrating virtual trips to black holes and neutron stars.
To understand fully why a black hole can trap light but the light still always travels at constant velocity requires an understanding of the General Theory of Relativity, but the essential point is that the black hole curves spacetime back on itself, so that all paths in the interior of the black hole lead back to the singularity at the center, no matter which direction you go (an analogy in two dimensions is that no matter which direction you go on the surface of the Earth in a "straight line" (what mathematicians call a "geodesic" or a "great circle"), you never escape the Earth but instead return to the same point. Imagine extending that analogy to the 4 dimensions of spacetime and you have a rough explanation for why light travels at light speed, but cannot escape the interior of a black hole.
Violence in the Cosmos Black Holes
As the matter in the accretion disk loses energy and spirals downward into the black hole it is heated to very high temperatures and emits X-rays. Generally, any binary star system in which there is a strong X-ray source and in which one of the stars is not seen but is very massive is a good candidate for a black hole.
Identification of Cygnus X-1
The diffuse glow is X-ray emission in the vicinity of the binary (which isn't
seen in the image).
X-rays from the accretion disk of the binary
knock electrons off atoms in a volume of space that may be light years in
These atoms emit X-rays when the electrons re-combine, causing the observed glow.
The following table lists candidates black holes in some binary systems.
Here is a table from a different source:
All masses in Solar masses.
Source: "Revisiting the Black Hole",
R. Blandford & N. Gehrels, Physics Today, June (1999)
Such mass ejection might also be produced by accretion onto neutron stars. Thus additional information, such as an estimate of the mass of the unseen compact object, is generally required to show that the mass ejection is probably associated with a black hole.
NGC 4261 has enormous jets shooting from its core and very strong radio frequency emission. It is thought that the jets are powered by a gargantuan black hole of perhaps a billion solar masses, and that the ring in the Hubble image is an accretion disk feeding the black hole.
The black hole itself presumably lies inside the bright spot at the center. Even a billion solar mass black hole would be too small to see in this image.

It is impossible to observe a black hole directly and so any black hole candidates have to be identified by their effect on the matter surrounding them. If no other explanation for the observed phenomena is valid then it is likely that a black hole is present. There are some objects that are good candidates for the presence of a black hole.
Because black holes are small, and no signals escape from them, it might seem an impossible task to find them. However, the force of gravity remains, so if we detect gravity where there is no visible source of light then a black hole may be responsible. This type of argument, by itself, is not very convincing, and so we must look for other clues. If there is other material around a black hole which might fall into it, then it will. There is then a good chance that as it falls it will produce some detectable signal not from the black hole itself, but from just outside it.
Most stars are not single, like the Sun, but are found in pairs, small groups or large clusters. If a pair of stars have different masses then the more massive one will burn up its nuclear fuel and may become a black hole, whilst the other remains a normal star consuming its fuel more slowly. Gas can then be sucked from the star into the black hole. The gas becomes very hot, with a temperature of millions of degrees, and will shine not with visible light but with X-rays. These X-rays will have an observable effect on the light output from the ordinary star. Since the star and black hole go round each other every few days, we might expect to see regular variations in the brightness and X-ray output.
There are some X-ray sources which have all the properties described above. Unfortunately it is impossible to distinguish between a black hole and a neutron star unless we can prove that the mass of the unseen component is too great for a neutron star. Strong evidence was found by Royal Greenwich Observatory astronomers that one of these sources called Cyg X-1 (which means the first X-ray source discovered in the constellation of Cygnus) does indeed contain a black hole. Things are rather different if there is a massive black hole in the centre of a galaxy. It is possible there for a star to be swallowed by the black hole. The pull of gravity on such a star will be so strong as to break it up into its component atoms, and throw them out at high speed in all directions. Some of the fragments will fall into the hole, increasing its mass, whilst others could produce an outburst of radio waves, light and X-rays. Evidence for such behavior may be found in the section on Active Galaxies.
This is just the behaviour which is observed in galaxies of the type called `Quasars' and may well be happening in a milder way in the centre of our own Milky Way.

It is not unusual that a famous alumnus of a college or university will be tasked with making a graduation speech at the same said college or university. So it was only fitting that astronaut Rick Mastracchio, a graduate of the University of Connecticut's school of engineering should find himself addressing the 2014 graduating students from that esteemed institution. But as UNCONN Today noted in a Saturday story, it was unusual, due to his work schedule, that Mastracchio was obliged to render his words of wisdom from 260 miles up from the International Space Station.
Mastracchio's remarks, partly delivered from the 'upside down" position in the micro gravity environment of the ISS was mostly his own life story as an inspiration to the newly graduated students. After having graduated from the University of Connecticut, he worked for a company called Hamilton Standard. He then moved to Houston to become a flight controller supporting space shuttle missions.
The real job Mastracchio wanted, being a well-educated young person in good health, was to be an astronaut. He first applied shortly after the space shuttle Challenger was destroyed in the skies over Florida. Nine years later, after multiple attempts and rejections, getting a second master's degree at the University of Houston and a pilot's license, he was accepted. Mastracchio subsequently flew as a Mission Specialist on STS-106, STS-118, and STS-131 and logged nearly 40 days in space, including six EVAs totaling 38 hours and 30 minutes. Mastracchio is currently on the ISS as the space station's flight engineer.
The takeaway that Mastracchio wanted to impart to the students is that persistence and hard work can pay off. It is not an uncommon theme for a commencement speech. It is uncommon that it be delivered in such a manner, using the magic of modern communications technology.

\This study I believe was in the ATLANTIC, although I'm not sure it originated there - and it's purpose was to take what were thought to be the main influences, everything from "a sense of well being" to "trigger locks", that could be associated with gun deaths, and to see if their was factual information on that - also including Gun Control with positive, negative, or neutral association between Gun Deaths and that, and also with a few other influences usually disagreed upon. In other words, for a number of influences, is there a factual indicator that points to objective facts towards one having significant association or not - beyond just opinion. Some of the study was done geographically (states), I guess because there would be more data available that way per area:
(*NOTE 1: The study was done in 2011 after the Tuscon shootings, I imagine after the Colorado shooting and so much talk of causes for both, the study was published again.
*NOTE 2: Keep in mind that when an Association or Correlation is found it doesn't mean 100% association, just that it is a significantly higher than a lower association. I don't believe any influence was 100% Associated with Gun Deaths.)
*NOTE 3: A significant Positive or Negative Correlation, either means there seems to be a strong influence on Gun Deaths.
-A made-up example of each: Positive Correlation: "A high level of wealth is associated with a high level of Gun Death."
........................................ Negative Correlation:"A high level of education is associated with a low level of Gun Death")
The Geography of Gun Deaths
By Richard Florida
Jan 13 2011, 10:38 AM ET
Terrible tragedies like last week's mass shootings in Tucson cause us to search for deeper answers. Many were quick to blame America's divisive and vitriolic political culture for the violence; others portray the shooter as an unhinged, clinically deranged person with his own unfathomable agenda. Arizona has been ground zero for the battle over immigration. Were the state's political and economic travails a contributing factor? There has been some talk about guns, too. Might tighter gun control laws have made a difference?
The map above charts firearm deaths for the 50 states plus the District of Columbia. Note that these figures include accidental shootings, suicides, even acts of self-defense, as well as crimes. As of 2007, 10.2 out of every 100,000 people were killed by firearms across the United States, but that rate varies dramatically from state to state. In Hawaii, at the low end, it was 2.6 per 100,000; in New York and New Jersey it was 5.0 and 5.2 respectively. At the high end, 21.7 out of every 100,000 residents of the District of Columbia were killed by guns, 20.2 in Louisiana, 18.5 in Mississippi, and 17.8 in Alaska. Arizona ranked eighth nationally, with 15.1 deaths per 100,000....

I can't tell you how many woman come into our shop wearing the wrong size bra, it's practically an epidemic. Bands too big, cups too small, you name it we've seen it. Figuring out your proper size is crucial to ensure you're getting enough support, lift, contouring, and the right silhouette from your bra. At the shop we provide personal fittings, but for those of you who can't make it in we offer this online tutorial. Our goal is to see every woman wearing the correct size so that she looks great and feels her best.
First let's take a look at a diagram labeling your Chest, Bust, and Underbust. We all need to understand and speak the same lingo before we can move on. Your Chest measurement is taken above your breasts, your Bust measurement is taken at the fullest part of the breasts, and the Underbust measurement is taken around your rib cage just below your breasts. These three measurements together will produce the magic formula to decode your illusive bra size.
Bra sizing is all about proportion. The ratio of Underbust and chest to your Bust measurement is the basis of size. The Chest and Underbust measurements determine the band size while the Bust measurement determines the cup size. Cup size is dependent on the amount of projection and volume of the breast in comparison to your Chest and Underbust. To determine what band and cup you should be wearing you will first need to measure these three components. For some women, your band size will be closer to your Chest measurement. For others, the Underbust measurement is the key number, and all of the above is relative to how your body is shaped and what brand you choose to wear. Confused yet?? Keep reading and we'll try to unravel the mystery.
It's All About the Volume
Because of the many ways bras are designed and constructed, variation in size will occur, so the first thing to realize is that all of the information here is intended to guide you, rather than it being carved in stone, especially when comparing one brand to the next. If you normally fit a 34B you may also fit a 32C, a 30DD, or a 36A. This is because all of the sizes just noted utilize the same size underwire. Going up a cup and down a band size alters the proportion of a bra, but generally doesn't change the volume of the cup. Shifting up or down this way when trying on sizes can help you find your perfect fit. See the chart below showing equivalent bra sizes, and realize that as you move across the chart, each of the bras on the same color line share the same size underwire and similar cup volume. Understanding the issue of cup volume is the key to decoding bra fitting.
In the chart below follow the lines across by color to see equivalent bra sizes. We most often find that women are wearing their band size too large, and their cup size too small. The result is that your bra is not only lacking in support, but is also likely flattening you out and not giving you the perky, youthful shape you want from your bra!
Now take this quick test; stand in front of a mirror with your arms at your sides, wearing your regular everyday bra - is the height of your bust below the middle of your upper arm? Do your breasts seem to be floating off the side of your torso somewhere near your elbow? If the answer is yes, you are suffering from a droopy silhouette and the wrong bra! Both are completely avoidable fashion faux pas.
Take a further look at the bra you're wearing now and ask the following questions;
-is the band too tight?
-is the band too loose?
-does it sit straight and low across your back or is it riding up?
-does it fit smoothly across your sternum with the center gore flush against the breast bone?
-are the cups baggy or rippling?
-are your breasts spilling out the top, center, or sides of the cups?
-is the underwire digging in at the center or sides of your breasts?
-are your straps digging into your shoulders?
-are your straps falling off your shoulders?
Now that you've looked at your current bra fit with a critical eye, it's time to take action!
Get a tape measure and measure your Chest, Bust and Underbust. Everybody should own one, but if you don't, here's a Printable Tape Measure. Reference our diagram up top to make sure you know where to place the tape. Hold the tape firmly and snugly, but don't pull too tight. Be honest! Write your measurements down and get ready to start calculating.
If your Chest, Bust, and Underbust are all within three inches of each other proceed to Method A. If any of your measurements are greater than three inches different from each other proceed to Method B. We found that one hard and fast rule does not make for the best fit experience, so have distinguished two methods to streamline and simplify, based on figure type.
Method A - For Most A/B/C Cups
Band Size
The smaller your breasts, the more likely it will be that your Chest measurement is the closest indicator of your band size. If your Chest measurement is an odd number, add one inch, since all band sizes are in even numbers, 32, 34, 36, etc. This number is your band size.
Cup Size
Bust (-) Chest = Cup Size
How many inches of difference are there between the two numbers? Each inch equals a cup size.
Use the chart above to see which other sizes may fit. If your rib cage is narrow try going down a band and up a cup, and see Method B. If you have a broader Chest go up a band and down a cup. See how the correlating sizes feel to determine which size is right for you in a particular brand.
Method B - For Most D Cups and Above
Band Size
The bigger your breast the more likely that your underbust measurement is the closest indicator for your band size.
Cup Size
Bust (-) Underbust = Cup Size
To determine your cup subtract your Underbust from your bust measurement, each inch is equal to a full cup size.
The Curvaceous Figure
Here is an example of a very common set of measurements for a curvaceous figure; Chest 35, Bust 39, Underbust 34.
We frequently see a woman of this shape wearing a 36D bra, when there is a high likelihood that she would get better support, lift, and shaping from a 34DD.
Use the chart above to look at equivalent sizes. Be sure to experiment with going down a band size and up a cup size and vice-versa. Different brands fit differently and it is important to try a variety of sizes to determine which is best for you.
Now that you're armed with information, it's time to take those numbers and hit the fitting room at your favorite local lingerie boutique or department store.
IMPORTANT - ALWAYS ADJUST YOUR STRAPS! Most women fail miserably in this task. When you do get into that fitting room, make sure you adjust the shoulder strap to the loosest setting BEFORE you put the bra on. Once the band is secure, on the tightest setting that is snug and comfortable, sitting straight and low across your back, THEN and only then, adjust the shoulder strap.
Now that the bra is on you, if it doesn't immediately seem to be a complete disaster, check the following;
Band Size Too Big: if you can pull the band away from your back more than 2 inches your band size is too big. Stop. Go back to your calculations and start again. The likelihood is that you will go down a band size and up a cup size. Many women who fall into the average and small category are wearing enormous bands, that are ridiculously loose, but complain that the correct fitting size is too tight. You shouldn't be strangled, but if you can fit a small child in between you and your bra band, it's too big! Ease into your correct size. If the numbers say you should be two band sizes smaller, start by going down one band size, get used to the feel. Start noticing that your clothes look better on you and that your silhouette is shapelier...
Band Size Too Small: if the band is truly uncomfortably tight, go up one band size.
Band Size Too Small: if the band feels snug and secure and the cups seem ok but the center bridge is sitting more than 2 inches away from your chest wall keep the same band but go up a cup size. This will likely only occur for women with a DD or larger cup size. Manufacturers allow 1.5 inches of tolerance as the acceptable amount of distance between the chest wall and bridge of your bra. If your bra has a slight gap at the center but fits well in all other ways this is an acceptable variance. You're in the right size.
Cup Too Small: if your breasts are spilling over the top or center of the cup, but not at the sides, stay in the same band size and go up a cup.
Cup Too Small: the wire is not encasing the breast around the outside edge but seems to fit everywhere else, first try going up one band size. Though the band you are wearing may not feel too tight, we recommend you go up a band and down a cup. You will be wearing a bra with the same wire only with a slightly wider distance between the cups.
Cup Too Big: if the cloth of the cup is rippling, or there is a gap between the molded cup and the top of the breast, go down one cup size. You may want to try going down a band and a cup.
Cup Fits but Wire Is Digging In: If the breast is encased in the cup, but the wire is digging into your arm pit, go down a band and up a cup. This should put the wires closer together and eliminate any irritation under the arm.
Now that you're armed with information, we hope you'll put it to good use! Allow yourself at least an hour when you decide to go bra shopping, and if you're shy, try to get past it and let the fitting ladies help you, wherever you decide to buy your bra. We all really do want to see you succeed!

where do they get these numbers
Up to 300 VMs in a rack ?? 300 doing what? If I look at my own VM infrastructure and that of my previous companies for example we could probably get upwards of 1000-2000 VMs in a rack depending on server hardware config. The constraint is because of memory, not CPU and for the most part not I/O (relatively speaking). Like most physical servers, the virtual servers spend *most* of their lives idle from a CPU and I/O perspective. Though applications are always running and consuming memory so memory requirements are high relative to CPU and I/O.
Currently in the process of doubling the memory in our servers to 384GB (dual socket Opteron 6100), as the CPUs run at under 15% on average with peaks not being much higher. This workload isn't specific to my present position - I look back over the past decade at all the companies I have worked at and things are similar with very few exceptions(those few exceptions would have more than enough aggregate CPU capacity to burst in utilization without requiring a special configuration).
Are these 300 VMs running VMark or something is that where they get the data from? If not then how do these folks (and others too, not picking on Fujitsu specifically I see similar claims from other vendors constantly especially with these integrated solutions).
Just curious.
