I'm looking for a production solution to create a RAM drive that will be safely synchronized with HDD.
I have a piece of custom software with heavy I/O load (this is some kind of proprietary document-oriented DB), and I need to speed it up dramatically. I can't modify or get rid of the software itself, so have to do either horizontal or vertical scaling. The software doesn't support horizontal scout of the box, so I'm looking at vertical scaling first.
The main idea is simple - we buy loads of RAM (96GB) and put whole thing onto a RAM drive. But it needs to be failsafe, loosing any data on server reboot is not an option. So I'm looking for solution that will maintain transparent synchronization between RAM drive and HDD.
Dirty solution like copying files through bash script is not an option, need something more reliable.
In theory as I see, some kind of distributed FS like described here can be used in a weird way - to synchronize two partitions on the same machine. But i doubt if this will work in practice, and never tried that.
So, any ideas on ready solution for a RAM drive with transparent synchro to HDD?
data UPD:
- The estimated amount of data I will need to hold in RAM is about 50GB.
- Servers are dedicated HP DL320, 8 CPU, 16GB RAM (up to 96GB).
- I/O profile is similar to a database application - lots of random access reads, less writes.

SHAIR Academy established through Shair trust academies, a United Kingdom based charity organization has officially launched in Rwanda.
The official launch was simultaneously held with the graduation of 34 pioneer students in hairdressing in Remera, Kigali on December 14, 2013.
The academy is currently offering intensive training course in professional hairdressing.
The Chairman of Shair trust Academies Nigel McCarthy said such training is provided to give a clear vision to beneficiaries on what they really need in life as professional hairdressers.
He concurred with the British High Commissioner to Rwanda, Benedict Llewellyn Jones who also called upon graduates to effectively use their skills on the labour market.
Shair Academy was established in collaboration with Workforce Development Authority (WDA).
Speaking at the event, the state minister in charge of TVET Albert Nsengiyumva urged graduands to use their special skills in making a difference in Rwanda, a country that still lacks enough professional hairdressers.
The 34 students received a 'NO FEE' year- long intensive training course in professional hairdressing by professional trainers.
According to the Director General of WDA Jerome Gasana, this beauty training facility will also introduce other courses like massaging.
One of the graduatess clotilde Niyongoma who changed from business studies to join hair dressing says that she hopes to become successful in the new career.
"I have a dream of making my own salon using the special skills I acquired from professional tutors at the academy," Niyongoma said.
The ultimate goal of the ministry of Education through WDA is to have such training facilities in other parts of the country since hairdressing is still done many people with no required skills.

College Hockey:St. Lawrence gets two late goals to come back and top Quinnipiac
HAMDEN, Conn. — Kelly Sabatine and Rylee Smith scored 22 seconds apart in the final 1:34 to help St. Lawrence squeak by Quinnipiac 4-3.
The Saints took a 2-0 lead into the third period, but the Bobcats scored three straight in the third to take the lead. Breann Frykas scored back-to-back goals to tie the game before Regan Boulton put the Bobcats ahead.
With 2:23 left on the clock in the final period, St. Lawrence coach Chris Wells elected to pull Carmen MacDonald for the extra attacker.
"We fully expected them to push back," Wells said. "The girls are comfortable with the goalie out and we were able to get one last week against Cornell, so we knew we could score."
The Saints quickly jumped on the offensive as they controlled the play in the Bobcats' end. A shot from Mel Desrochers never got through the mass of traffic in front of the Bobcats' net, but came free just to the left of the net. Quinnipiac's Victoria Vigilanti laid out to try to cover up the puck, but Smith swooped in and jammed the puck under Vigilanti's pads to tie the game at 3-3.
Just 22 seconds later, Sabatine took control of the puck above the left circle and ripped a shot on net. The puck deflected and bounced under the glove of Vigilanti.
"We got a lucky bounce there and we got a special group in that locker room," Wells said. "We've really come together over the last few months and we've been telling them that special things happen to special groups."
St. Lawrence got on the board first with 1:35 left in the first period. Sabatine's shot from the right circle rang off the left post and onto the stick of Karrell Emard at the left circle. Emard quickly wristed the puck into the gaping net as Vigilanti couldn't react quick enough to the shot. The goal marked the 100th career point for Emard.
The Saints padded their lead in the second period on a power-play goal from Alley Bero. Brooke Fernandez connected with Bero at the left circle. Bero stepped up and blasted a shot that beat Vigilanti short side for the 2-0 lead.
The Bobcats began their comeback 2:13 into the third period on Frykas's first of the night. A shot from Amanda Colin came free on the right side of the net where Frykas grabbed the puck. Frykas poked the puck through MacDonald's pads to cut the lead in half.
Frykas added her second straight goal four minutes later on another rebound. Again, Frykas picked up the puck on the right side of the net and buried it in the back of the net to tie the score at 2-2.
Just under three minutes later, Boulton put the Bobcats ahead on the power play. Seconds into the advantage, Boulton's blast from the left point beat MacDonald glove side for the 3-2 lead.
"We got three goals against this team in the first period the first time we played this team, so we knew we could get three," Quinnipiac coach Rick Seeley said. "I thought the team came out [in the third period] and played really inspired hockey in the first nine minutes to get the lead and after that, I thought we eased up a little bit."
Despite the third period comeback, the Saints' offensive power proved too much for the Bobcats, specifically the line of Emard, Sabatine and Smith. Those three players alone account for nearly half of the SLU goals this season.
With just three games left in the regular season, St. Lawrence and Dartmouth are tied for the highly-coveted final home playoff spot.

Current Time
Milford Academy is a private school governed by a Board of Trustees who are stewards of the
non-profit, non-stock corporation, now located in New Berlin, New York. Milford Academy in
Milford, Connecticut was founded as a preparatory school for entrance into Yale University.
For the past three years in New York State, Milford Academy has sent 98% of its students on
to colleges. Perhaps more notably, more than two thirds (2/3) of these graduates received
full four-year scholarship offers! Milford Academy was opened in 1916 and has been a
non-profit institution since 1965. In that same year the school introduced a Division 1
level post-graduate football program that enjoyed immense success over the years. In 1999,
Bill Chaplick became the Head Football Coach and A.D. He played at Boston College from
1975-79 and made All-East in '79. He failed a physical with the New York Football Giants
due to a neck injury sustained at Boston College. Since football was no longer an option,
he went into the private sector for business before he got the itch to coach. He coached
at Ansonia, Connecticut and Woodstock Union in Vermont before he took the Milford job.
Because of both his coaching and business acumen, Bill was the logical choice to lead the
Academy as Director of Operations and Head Coach on our relocation mission to New Berlin.

Ombre Hair: We Love Selena Gomez's New Hairstyle
Can't get enough of dip dye hair and ombre hair? Us either! Following in the fashionista steps of Jessie J and Lauren Conrad, Disney star Selena Gomez debuted a mega ombre hairstyle at the Teen Choice Awards 2012.
Her gentle golden tips are perfect for a summer hair overhaul without being too dramatic. We think this beachy hairstyle suits everyone, and as Selena proved, dip dye hair and ombre hair can be just as red carpet worthy as a complicated up 'do.

Featuring a Tegra 3 processor, 1280x800 IPS display, 16GB of on-board storage, 1.2mp front facing camera and running stock Android Jellybean, the tablet looks to be serious competition to Google's Nexus 7.
"Most people use the 7 inch devices for reading, which is why the company designed the tablet for mostly portrait orientation use." Vizio's head of design, Scott McManigal said in an interview. The Tablet will arrive sometime in the first half of the year with no word on pricing yet.

Why we are grateful for teachers:
With that in mind, here is our savvy teacher's gift guide, because this is definitely not a re-gift situation.
A Greener Gift
Give the gift of nature by making a donation in your teacher's name and the Evergreen Foundation will provide a beautiful card acknowledging your gift. www.evergreen.ca
Present the card in a reusable shopping tote from Envirosax ($8) small enough to keep in a purse all the time and you've got something green enough for even the most environmentally inspiring teacher. www.eco-handbags.ca
If you're looking for a class gift that all the kids can make a mark on (or something from the whole team), the personalized signature platters from Serendipity Crafts are a great choice. Montreal-based designers Hugh and Elizabeth hand-paint each platter ($40 – 120) according to your specifications so you can include the teacher's name, the year and any other class information you desire. Once you receive the platter (and may we say, without giving the secret away to our own kids' teachers, the customer service is exceptional), all the children can sign it with the special pen that is included. Special note: If you're the class mom, note that ordering this gift is a LOT easier than volunteering to put a memory book together. www.serendipity-crafts.com
The Write Way
Give Teach a break from gold stars and email this summer with a custom stationery 'wardrobe' from Penny People Designs. We're especially fond of the personalized stickers, the designer address labels and the designer correspondence cards, all of which will let her keep in touch in style. www.pennypeople.com
The Hip and Techno
Travelling or text-messaging types will love the BuiltNY Electronic Pocket ($19.99). Designed to attach to bags, belts and backpacks like a luggage tag, these neoprene pockets ($19.99) have a soft fleece lining to protect electronics. www.goneshopping.ca
Light Up Their Lives
If a trip to IKEA is in your plans, pick up a stash of Sommar lanterns ($9.99, available in five colours) for everyone. Bundle them up with some colorful napkins, candles or some special summer condiments and you've got a lovely gift for the teacher who enjoys outdoor entertaining during her summer off. (President's Choice also has some great lanterns so you can even get this gift crossed off your list at the grocery store if need be.)
So don't be the only one at 'graduation' without something in hand. Stock up now and you'll be at the top of the class.

We could sit here and explain to you how busy our days are. But that would only be a weak excuse for not putting makeup on properly every day. When we are
full of excuses too swamped to apply a full face, we rely on our Givenchy Hydra Sparkling Magic Lip & Cheek Balm ($31) to pull us through an otherwise drab week. We first apply the balm to our lips and then to our cheeks, leaving us with a dewy, fresh face that smells just slightly of Givenchy's signature Gloss Interdit scent. This stuff is so easy to apply and carry around that we can no longer say that we don't have time to make an effort.

A Detroit motorist's beating on April 2 – which has left the victim still hospitalized – has now led the four attackers to face charges of attempted murder. On Monday, the four accused assaulters – all young African American men – answered to charges of punching and kicking a Detroit motorist who accidentally struck a 10-year-old boy with his vehicle. The men, who witnessed the accident, attacked the helpless motorist, who is white, in a chaotic, mob-like assail that many are saying was racially motivated.
According to an April 21 report from The Associated Press, Bruce Wimbush Jr., 17, Latrez Cummings, 19, James Davis, 24, and Wonzey Saffold, 30, all played a role in the horrific attack on Steve Utash. Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Jackson ruled that probable cause was established, and the four men will see their case go to trial.
Witness Deborah Hughes testified at the trial. Hughes, a registered nurse, is crediting with saving Utash's life by intervening and putting a halt to the vicious assault. Hughes described a chaotic scene. Speaking of the four men, she said: "They were hollering and screaming 'Oh, my God, get him, get him.'" Hughes said Cummings kicked the victim at least 10 times.
On April 2, the 54-year-old Utash, a tree-trimmer, was driving through Detroit's East side. The 10-year-old boy darted out in front of Utash's pickup truck, and was accidentally hit. Utash immediately stopped and got out to check on the boy. When he did so, the men moved in. The boy, whose name was not released, is the nephew of one of the attackers. The boy was treated for a broken leg and released, but Utash remains in critical condition.
CBS News said that at least 10 to 12 attackers converged on Utash, and repeatedly hit the victim. A witness told CBS Detroit that one of the attackers said, "You hit my nephew, you're going to die." Attacker Saffold told investigators: "I saw the little boy on the ground ... and I lost it."
According to the AP report, as carried by MSN News, "Utash's family sat in the front row of the courtroom, while relatives of the accused men sat directly behind them in three rows. There were deep sighs, sobbing and muffled utterances of 'liar' during the testimony. Some spectators were ejected by sheriff's deputies."
Utash's brother-in-law Max Mohr said Utash is struggling in his recovery. He attempted to walk for the first time last week with the aid of multiple nurses but only lasted a few paces. "He's not the Steve I know – not even close," Mohr said. Utash spent days in a coma following the beatdown. He had multiple internal injuries and broken bones.

The Web is bigger than you think
A watershed moment is occurring at the Beijing Olympics — or more accurately, in the head offices of the broadcasters covering it. Online viewing of Olympic events has shot into the stratosphere — this Globe & Mail article on the subject uses terms like "shattering" and "unbelievable" to communicate the enormity of what's happening. Here… Read more »
The questionable future of partners and associates
The evidence is growing that neither "partner" nor "associate" is going to be a meaningful term in law firms of the future. Both of these hallowed pillars of law firms' talent structure are starting to be used more as means to an end rather than as ends in themselves. In terms of partners, consider this… Read more »

This article in The Recorder is mostly about the free-fall that the real estate legal marketplace in California is experiencing.

A few good lawsuits
I've glimpsed the future of legal marketing, but WhoCanISue.com isn't it. A new website that has generated a remarkable amount of publicity for a concept that's not exactly groundbreaking, WhoCanISue.com allows would-be litigants to share the basic outlines of their potential legal claim with an online system, without divulging confidential information. The site will then… Read more »

Associates and the bad table
The opening words to a sporty 60-second video montage at Cadwalader's US student recruitment site are: "Make no mistake about it. A career at Cadwalader is not for the faint of heart." So it would seem, following news that the firm cut 96 lawyers on Thursday, an astounding purge that surpasses Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal's… Read more »
Could clients drive firms to do more pro bono?
Australia, the legal profession's innovation laboratory, is busy delivering another dose of fresh thinking.

Stop. Time out. Stop doing what we've always been doing. Put aside the deadlines and schedules for a moment. Put down the pen, those of us still using one.

Photos: Protesters Arrested at Occupy Wall Street Anniversary Event
Posted by Don Pavlin on 09/17/2012 11:13am MDT tags: Photo
AP — NEW YORK — Police say more than 60 people have been arrested as Occupy Wall Street protesters march in small groups around Manhattan's financial district to mark the anniversary of the grass-roots movement.
Police also removed four protesters in wheelchairs after they blocked a busy street Monday.
Loud chanting and the sound of drums filled the air. The demonstrators clogged traffic, and dozens of police officers and vans lined the streets.

The Tustin Eastern Little League all-star team got off to a hot start in its showdown against the Major Northeast Santa Ana Little League team, in the District 30 Major Little League All-Star tournament.
The anticipated matchup was a lob sided contest as TELL scored five runs in the bottom of the first, running Santa Ana's starting pitcher, Eduardo Ojeda out of the game with two outs in the first inning at the South Sunrise Little League Park last Saturday. Tustin continued its hot hitting on Adrian Gonzalez who came in relief of Ojeda – Tustin scored seven runs off of Gonzalez in the second inning.
Tustin starting pitcher, Sean Higgins breezed through his three innings of work allowing two hits, while striking out six batters, and Joey Nicolai came in the fourth inning to close it out. The stellar pitching and hot bats forced the merci rule in the fourth inning, 12-0.
"My plan was to let the Santa Ana hitter's groundout or strikeout," Higgins said. "I feel really good (that I was able to pitch a shutout). It was a really good effort on our team, and our defense was really good too."
Tustin hitter Ricky Teel drove in two runs with a ground rule double for Tustin's fourth and fifth runs in the first inning. Higgins drove in the sixth run with a hit in second, and Nicolai drove in two runs with a single in the second. Jake Connell came off the Tustin bench and got a base hit that drove in Nicolai for the 10th run that clinched the merci rule.
"We are just trying to go out there and throw (the ball), catch it and hit the ball," Tustin manager, Jon Sullivan said. "This is nothing fancy, we are trying to go out there and take care of business."
Tustin will play in the championship game Sunday against the winner of Friday's matchup between Northeast Santa Ana and South Sunrise. The winner will advance to the subdivision tournament.

Metalwork is an ancient art form. The art of lost wax and sand casting has virtually not changed throughout the ages. No matter what metals are used and employed, or objects created by either process or material, the work of Philip Brainard is where the past and present meet. Whether cast or forged, custom designed or made to match items that can no longer be found or purchased anywhere, Philip Brainard is a skilled artisan who can design and fabricate, restore and refinish metal and glass with a distinctive and unique flair.
Philip Brainard's artistry allows him to be creative in ways many cannot envision. His passion for designing both interior and exterior lamps is inspired by the amazing works of Tiffany, the Arts & Craft movement, and the art Nouveau & art Deco movements. As one of the founders of Phoenix Studios Art Glass & Bronze in 1973, Philip's years of experience can transform typical home décor into sculptural works of art. Utilizing both casting and fabrication techniques in a variety of materials such as bronze, wood, copper, and glass, Philip will design lighting to compliment any home or business from individual customers to decorators and architects, with distinctive taste. Each piece is personally handcrafted by Philip with quality materials and time-honored craftsmanship. As with nature, all works, even ones of similar style, are truly individual and one-of-a-kind. You will always get products made with a sense of pride and artistry in a manner that is quickly becoming a lost art.
Philip Brainard's interest in art began at an early age. Born and raised near the Westmoreland Milk Glass factory, that was owned by his family in Pittsburgh, PA, he went on to pursue formal artistic training at Brooks Art Institute in Santa Barbara, CA in the early 1970's. Soon after graduating, Philip followed in his family's interest in glass and aesthetics by becoming one of the founders in Phoenix Art Glass & Bronze Studios. It was there that he began to employ the use of metals and the art of lost wax and sand casting.

After beating morbid difficulty, go start a new playthrough on Undead and beat the first level. That's all you need for the trophy. Be patient and take your time. This is the hardest difficulty.
|Complete A Mission Without Dying
Hop on braindead and beat the 1st level. I recommend doing this after beating the game as you will be more familiar with the game and know the areas better.
|Complete A Mission Without Receiving Any Damage
Hop on braindead and slowly go through the 1st level. You cannot get hurt at all. I recommend doing this after beating the game as you will be more familiar with the game and know the areas better and also with a friend so the zombies have something else to attack. Be sure to throw out flares and grenades often to distract zombies.
|Zombie Killer
|Kill 1 000 Zombies
Do I really have to explain this one? You'll get it around level 2 or 3.
|Zombie Hunter
|Kill 10 000 Zombies
You will get this after your first playthrough. You should be averaging around 1,000 kills a level. You will gain a massive amount of kills in level 10. I had around 13,000 in my first playthrough.
|Kill 53 596 Zombies
You'll be doing three playthroughs of the game, four if you started out on Normal. You will be close to this amount by then. Just replay the last level and learn it inside and out. Once you know it, you can get over 2100 kills in around 17 minutes on braindead.
|Aim For The Head
|Perform 500 Headshots
This trophy is cumulative*. Most zombies that are weak or low on health will be headshotted when shot normally. You can also charge up your rifle and headshot zombies easily. This won't be a problem at all.
|Up Close & Personal
|Perform 500 Melee Kills
This trophy is cumulative*. There will be many times where you are swarmed by a lot of weak zombies and you'll be hitting them off of you. They die in one hit no matter what so you don't have to worry much about this. There are some areas where the zombies are fenced off and they can attack you, but you can attack them with your melee; do this for some easy kills.
|Blown To Bits
|Blow Up 1 000 Zombies
This trophy is cumulative*. Just about every other thing you do involves the zombies exploding, you'll get this naturally.
|Burn 1 000 Zombies
This trophy is cumulative*. This trophy might as well say 'Ignite.' All you have to do is light 1,000 zombies on fire. I rarely ever used my molotov and bought the flamethrower on the last level. Use that level to get this trophy. I killed about 2,000 enemies in level 10. There will be many groups of them so just light them up.
|Car Killer
|Destroy 500 Vehicles
If you're using my loot method, you should be blowing up every car after looting it. There are also many cars that are out of reach but can still be shot behind fences and barriers. You'll be doing a lot of playthroughs so you should get this trophy by then.
|Fully Upgrade A Single Slot Of Any Weapon In Campaign Mode
You'll get this in the first level with enough money, just upgrade any part of any weapon up to 5 or 10 stars.
|Weapons Specialist
|Fully Upgrade All Slots Of Any Weapon In Campaign Mode
Upgrade all the stats on the weapon up to 5 or 10 stars, you should get this in the second level with your rifle.
|Suit Up
|Collect An Armor Piece
Laying around all the levels are big yellow crates that give armor and loot when opened. The first thing you'll find when you start the game is an armor crate. Loot guide here
|Top Gear
|Collect All Armor Pieces
Collect every big yellow crate in all 10 levels. Loot guide here
|Help Your Country To Clear The Virus Infection
Beat the first level and make sure you're signed in. Your stats should upload and the trophy will pop.
|Collect All The Loot In Any Mission
Comb the entire level, look for little metal boxes that glow blue and yellow/red, look for big yellow crates and look for cars. Be careful not to blow up any of the cars before you collect what's inside them as you will have to die and start the checkpoint over. Do this in the 1st level as that's the easiest one. You can also play on braindead if you wish. Loot guide here
|King Of Looters
|Collect All The Loot In Every Mission
Every metal crate and armor crate must be found, along with every possible car trunk popped. Loot guide here
|DLC: Road of Devastation
|Cost: 3.99 Trophies: 6
|Still In the Game
|Survive to Round 5
Pretty simple, just reach round 5. Trophy will pop when you reach round 5. For tips please take a look at the roadmap. You can achieve this in Arcade Mode if you want. Simply start that up and select 'Braindead' difficulty. This will make reaching round 5 a cakewalk.
|Never Give Up
|Survive to Round 10
This is hard. The best tip I can give you is to take it slowly. There's no time limit so it doesn't matter how long it takes. Another tip I can give you is never go down the score route. I found this to be the hardest route of them all because of the huge screamer things that take a lot to kill. For more info please refer to the roadmap.
|Keep It Up
|Complete a Round with a Kills-per-minute ratio of 100 or more
This is another hard trophy; you need to average 100 kills a minute. The only way to get to 100 is to take it as fast as you can. Don't stop and search for crates, just get the crates that are in your path. You don't want to waste time. If you're taking every round very fast you will get this trophy. The best gun to use is a fully upgraded SMG as this really quickly kills the weaker zombies. You will want to try this on round 5+ as there's no where near as many zombies on the previous rounds. You will want to rush every area with the SMG and launcher to grant you quick kills. info has provided some useful tips for this trophy, more details in the roadmap. There is another very useful method which I have written in the Combo Master description which can net you both the silver trophies in one go. You can now get this trophy in aracde mode, which makes things easier as if you fail then you can revert back to a checkpoint just before. Rememebr to select braindead difficulty as it makes things easier.
|Combo Master
|Get the Apocalypse Combo Kill Bonus (150 Kills)
I have found a flawless method of getting this trophy and it will work all the time if you don't mess up. Firstly you will want to go down the score route on round 4 as this will ONLY work on round 4+, make sure you kill nothing, don't kill a single zombie once entering the score area. There will be 1 mouth near the bridge and one just above the bridge, make it so both of them scream, run across the bridge and do the same with the other mouths. Now you will want to run all the way to the end and though the door, don't kill anything remember. Complete the final fight at the end. You will notice that the mouths are on the other side of the door you came though, they will all be screaming which will spawn hundreds of zombies mainly on there side but also your own, the zombies on the other side CANNOT hurt you so you can keep meleeing them though the door. There will be a lot more than 150 zombies if you did the method right. This can also get you the 100 kills per minute trophy if you're quick enough therefore netting you both silver trophies at once. TrophyQuest has made a video guide explaining my method in depth, it can be found here. You can now get this trophy in aracde mode, which makes things easier as if you fail then you can revert back to a checkpoint just before. Rememebr to select braindead difficulty as it makes things easier.
|Dynamic Duo
|Complete a Round in Co-Op Without Either Player Taking Damage
This trophy can be annoying if you or your partner are not very good at avoiding zombies. Make sure you do this in the first round for minimal zombies. I took the money and health route for this trophy as the hedges really slow down the zombies and make it easier to kill them. Make sure you stick together too and try and do it local if possible as you have much better communication with your partner. If any player is hit you will not earn the trophy. If this happens, restart. If you have the patch installed you can do this on 'Arcade Mode' which makes the trophy very easy. Simply load that up and selct braindead difficulty. The zombies will be very slow and easy to kill on this difficulty. The trophy will unlock after you complete the round.
|Found 'Em
|Find all the Egogate emblams
There are 9 egogate emblems in total, each one is on each of the routes. 1 is on each of the start paths, 1 are in each of the paths branching off from these paths. They are big circle domes that you open by hitting them. You DO NOT need to collect them all in one game, the game remembers if you have got them. You can also get this trophy in 'Arcade Mode'.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan and Mayor Bill de Blasio met yesterday for the first time since the mayor took office to discuss how they might collaborate to foster the common good – particularly helping New Yorkers most in need.
They hope to convince Pope Francis – who the mayor called "the most powerful voice on earth on how to address inequality" — to visit the city to lend his voice to the urgent task of building a more compassionate and just New York.
"We talked a lot about Catholic Charities and the work it does on behalf of children, on behalf of people in need," Mayor de Blasio said.
"We talked about the need to help prisoners returning to society, a whole host of areas (including affordable housing) where we have common ground and where we can work together.
Catholic Charities Executive Director Msgr. Kevin Sullivan, who attended the post- meeting press briefing and is serving on the mayor's transition team, said "I am not surprised, but still delighted, that the Mayor recognizes the tremendous good being done by our federation of Catholic Charities agencies in touching and responding to almost every human need… We look forward to working with the de Blasio administration and are already convening agencies experienced in these areas to discuss how we might best work with the new administration to expand these services and meet unmet needs." Read Msgr. Sullivan's full statement here.
Cardinal Dolan regularly visits Catholic Charities agencies and meets both those being served and the dedicated staff and volunteers. Cardinal Dolan was upbeat and expressed his strong desire to work with Mayor de Blasio for the sake of the good of New York, and especially those most in need.

Because most of his songs work best during the the wee hours, Usher will take the stage at NBC's studio 8H as the musical guest of Saturday Night Live on May 12. Will Ferrell will host, and the friend to Justin Bieber and David Guetta will likely perform new single "Scream," which we guess is understandable given its recent release and the fact that new album Looking for Myself will be on its way…30 days later. If he fails to perform "Climax" we'll be severely disappointed.
Unless it's some kind of Bieber-related stunt, Usher doesn't strike us as the first artist Lorne Michaels and his staff would go to for a sketch idea. (But hey, Bieber on SNL? Now that's a concept…) Pairing him with Will Ferrell doesn't do much to help stretch our imagination either, unless they're looking to revisit the classic the use of "more cowbell," which we at Popdust as always willing to endorse. His performance will follow another odd couple combination of Rihanna and Eli Manning next Saturday, which is hard not to giggle about when envisioning Eli meeting and pronouncing the Barbadian's name. Have we reached the saturation point on Shy Ronnie? Eli Manning basically is Shy Ronnie, right? Shy Ronnie, with two Super Bowl rings.

Maine gardeners know that raising their own fruits and vegetables provides their families with wholesome food with a flavor that can't be compared with those bought in the store. They also know that Mother Nature provides a host of wild foods ready for the picking. These wild foods are bursting with flavor and add a heaping helping of vitamins and minerals to your diet.
If you are new to foraging and harvesting wild foods, these five wild greens are a good place to start, as they are easy to identify and locate and don't require any special preparation. Because they are all greens (or come from the greens), most can be served either fresh or cooked, as a side dish, or used in casseroles, soups and sauces.
Check out these five wild greens readily found throughout Maine and treat your family to fresh wild greens long before those in the garden are ready for harvesting.

How to Make Coffee from Roasted Dandelion Roots
Dandelion Greens
Dandelion greens (Taraxacum officinale) are one of the first wild greens to appear in the spring. The tender young leaves are picked or dug with a small section of the root and cooked much like spinach. Like spinach, dandelion greens shrink when cooked. Dandelions provide a heaping helping of iron and are high in Vitamin A and C. But beware! Dandelion can be bitter and may require a change of water while cooking. Some add a pinch of baking soda to the first water to remove the bitterness. Serve hot with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Check the Old Farmer's Almanac for more info about the amazing dandelion.
Lamb's Quarters
If you are gardener you probably recognize lamb's quarters (Chenopodium album) as a garden weed. In many areas lamb's quarters is called pig weed. Harvest the tiny leaves when they are young and tender and cook as you would spinach. Lamb's quarters shrinks to about one third after cooking. Lamb's quarters is in in both Vitamin A and C. Serve lamb's quarters with a dab of butter and season with salt and pepper. Check Mariquita Farm for more recipes ideas for Lamb's Quarters.
Dandelion Blossoms
Dandelion blossoms are often overlooked when it comes to eating nature's bounty. These fluffy blooms can be harvested, dipped in batter and fried for a tasty spring treat. The Twin Eagles Wilderness School provides several recipes for cooking dandelions, including dandelion fritters made from dandelion blossoms.
Fiddleheads emerge in early spring and can be found along stream banks. The coiled heads of the ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris) are harvested before they unfurl and are typically boiled or steamed and serves with melted butter as a side dish. These tender morsels have delicate flavor and can be used with soups, sauces and a variety of dishes. Fiddleheads & Fairies offers over 75 fiddlehead recipes and provides detailed information about identifying, picking and cooking fiddleheads.
Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) can also be cooked and served like spinach, but these fleshy little leaves do not shrink when cooked. According to the University of Maine Extension, if you harvest just the leaves the stem will produce another flush of leaves to harvest again later. Purslane can also be served fresh to add flavor to green salads.

Hess needs more than standard activist fare
Hessian fight
The $21 bln U.S. oil group is selling terminals and closing its last refinery just as activist hedge fund Elliott Associates is showing interest. Hess is already becoming a purer explorer. Closing the valuation gap with peers requires more than spinoffs or financial engineering.

From The Sofia Globe >>
Bulgaria held ceremonies on March 10 commemorating the 70th anniversary of the prevention of the deportation of Bulgarian Jews to Nazi Holocaust death camps and honouring the memory of the victims from Northern Greece and Yugoslavia, while in Macedonia, commemorations were to be held on March 11 for the thousands of Jews sent to Treblinka.
In Sofia, ceremonies were held at Parliament, with mayor Yordanka Fandukova unveiling a plaque, and there was a commemorative event held at the Synagogue, with the ambassadors of Israel and several other countries in attendance as well as Jewish community leaders.
On March 10, Shofar awards were handed to the mayors of 12 Bulgarian cities whose residents and individuals had contributed to preventing Bulgarian Jews being sent to World War 2 death camps.
Maxim Benvenisti, president of the Shalom Organisation of the Jews in Bulgaria, said that the Bulgarian people should feel very proud of the actions to prevent the deportation.
"This was not just saving a single life, it was rescuing an entire nation," he said.
Fandukova said that March 10 was a day that was a symbol of eternal values, courage and unity shown 70 years ago by a united Bulgarian people, including politicians, writers, public figures, representatives of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church and ordinary Bulgarian citizens.
"Seventy years ago, our ancestors showed courage and humanism and built one of the proudest chapters in our history," Fandukova said.
The plaque at Parliament commemorates not only the prevention of the deportations but also the 11 343 Jews deported from northern Greece and parts of Yugoslavia.

Derek DelPorto is leaving his head wrestling coaching position at Eastern Michigan University – and the sport – to relocate to Nashville, the Ypsilanti-based school announced Tuesday.
The announcement did not reveal any details on DelPorto's post-wrestling plans.
"I appreciate Derek's strong leadership qualities and the positive impact he has had on our wrestling program," said Heather Lyke, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics. "He has worked hard to move the program forward. We wish Derek all the best in his new endeavors with his wife and moving with her to Nashville."
"I would like to thank everyone who has been a part of my amazing coaching journey over the past 15 seasons and especially the support given to me by all the coaches and administrators here at Eastern Michigan," DelPorto said. "Walking away from the sport is a very difficult decision but certainly the right one for my family and me."
"I need to recognize and give special thanks to my Assistant Coach of seven years, David Bolyard, for helping bring the Eastern Michigan wrestling program back to relevancy," DelPorto continued. "I also need to thank all of my athletes over the past eight seasons here at EMU who believed in my system and worked just as hard to get us to where we are today. This program is in great shape and will only continue to thrive in the future. Heather is very knowledgeable about the sport and I'm positive she will continue to do what is best for this program to continue its success."
Since taking the helm at EMU in 2006, DelPorto compiled 85 victories, becoming the winningest wrestling coach in school history. He coached a pair of Mid-American Conference Champions and had student-athletes qualify for the NCAA Championships on 17 different occasions.
This past season, DelPorto led the Eagles to a 13-7 overall record, 3-4 record in the Mid-American Conference. After placing seventh in the team standings at the 2014 MAC Championships (out of nine programs), EMU sent four grapplers to the 2014 NCAA National Championships, tying for the most during DelPorto's eight-year tenure as head coach.
Prior to coming to Eastern Michigan, DelPorto served on the coaching staffs at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania, University of Oklahoma, and Cornell University.
A native of Erie, Pa., DelPorto wrestled at Erie Cathedral Prep, then continued his mat career at Slippery Rock, where he compiled a 116-38 record, making him the third-winningest wrestler in program history. He was a three-time regional champ (1996, 1998-99), and 1998 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) heavyweight titlewinner. He earned All-American honors by placing eighth in the heavyweight bracket at the 1999 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, winning his first two bouts before falling to University of Minnesota's Brock Lesnar in the quarterfinals, 4-0.
DelPorto was welcomed into the Slippery Rock Hall of Fame in 2011.

I rarely understand Sunstein's entries, or, more precisely, their meaning is often hidden beneath layers of imprecise prose. Has he never heard of a thesis statement and offering proof in support of the same?

If he means to say these "visionaries" were great and their opponents mean and atavistic, he should simply say so. Instead we get gobbeldy gook, e.g., "Some of us believe, in principle, that a minimalist path is usually appropriate, especially on large questions on which the nation is divided." Sunstein inserts caveats for this and any other statement to the point of meaninglessness.

May I remind Professor Sunstein, Constitutional history did not begin in the early 20th Century. The Constitution was written in 1787. It had an august history before the realists showed up, and the Court was a relatively minor player in our nation's history. There were only two major 19th Century Visionaries, Justices Storey and Marshall. And why? Because they were creating major precedent and setting out the role of the court. Like Washington and his impact on the presidency, they could not help but be influential simply by showing up.

But the 19th Century was also peopled by dozens of fairly nondescript and unremarkable, though careful, jurists. A few standout, usually for their forays into attempts at being visionaries, i.e., Justice Taney in Dredd Scott. But that was highly expectional and in relation to a highly exceptional issue. On the whole, both before and after the Civil War, law in those days was understood to be inherently conservative, concerned with precedent and regularity and fidelity to language--over which lawyers notoriously obsess.

But consider the 20th Century visionaries. They ran rough-shod over precedent (Carolene Products), embraced a cynical philosophy that made a virtue of such contempt for traditional notions of legality and legal rules (Griswald, Gold Standard Cases), pursued faddish notions such as government control of the economy and "racial science" (Buck v. Bell), and appointed themselves the force of progress in the nation simply by virtue of a sense of their own superiority (Roe, Brown, Miranda etc.).

From these we supposedly got the civil rights movement, but let's not forget this movement was steeped in popular resistance until it received a democratic imprimatur in the 1965 Civil Rights Act. It's debatable whether Brown did more harm than good. Plus, from these same courts we got the expansionist welfare state of Roosevelt and his successors and the human rights tragedy of legalized abortion.

Now one might think these are good policies, but as the Four Horsemen and a casual reading of the Federalist Papers would make clear: they have no constitutional justification whatsover, particularly insofar as they shift power from democratic state legisatures to unelected and elite (and totally unrepresentative) courts and justices.

These folks--Brandeis, Cardozo, Warren, etc.--were not visionaries so much as troublesome interlopers and revolutionaries, resentful, arrogant, and destructive. The Four Horsemen were right; the realists' innovations represented the effective death of constitutionally limited government and a major and unethical abrogation of power by men whose own character is supposed to be the chief limitation on their abuse of power. But needless to say the character of some of these justices was far from sterling, i.e., "the lawyer for the situation."

Until we return to some notion of correct legal reasoning that does not adhere to some exogenous notion of progressivism or abstract justice, but instead sees itself chiefly as the interpretation of language in light of limited policies naturally intertwined with law itself--regularity, predictability, democratic pedigree, equal treatment of similar situated parties--then anything will go.

Without this change in the ethos of judges and lawyers, Sunstein's concerns for "consolidating the gains" of his radical forbears with a new tune of moderation will just be one more preference among many, no different than some religious fundamentalist's desire to see the 14th Amendment interpreted to enact one or another policy. We will truly have a culture war and law will do little to keep our antagonisms in check.

Insofar as we acknowledge that correct legal reasoning involves the interpretation of language and the imposition on it of a single meaning in a world of multiple potential meanings--including subjective preferences by individual legislators and judges--then there is little way out of pure subjectivism without some resort to rules of linguistic analysis untied to changing mores, policy goals, or competing subjective intentions by legislators and judges. And original meaning--i.e., when a term of art like "free speech" is used, what did it mean when written?--is the most likely way to lend predictability to the law, both by those affected and its authors. Further, it's likely the only way to cabin otherwise unfettered judicial discretion.

In this sense, contract law is a good analogy, because the law imposes upon contracts an objective meaning, i.e., a single meaning based on a variety of interpretive rules, without regard to the ever shifting understandings and intentions of the parties.

As I wrote in response to some similar sophistry written by Cass Sunstein in November 17, 2005 on this very blog:

"The problem with Sunstein's view above is that the legal reasoning of the decisions he does not want overturned out of concerns for radical change were themselves radical and untied to any notion of 'legal' reasoning, i.e., the obvious and infamous sophistry behind the 'prenumbras and emanations' passage in Griswald. Further, in many cases overturning them would simply return these issues to democratic controls; it would not mandate any particular policies.

"But now that this violence to the constitutional order has come to pass, he wants to consolidate the gains of former radical by appealing to a conservatism that his liberal peers were deaf to when Griswald, Roe, and the like came up."

In other words, I'm saying Sunstein can't be trusted. His very epistemology in legal realism makes it so. And, further, his selective concern for traditionalism makes it obvious his real concern is with so-called progressive policies, not the integrity of law and legal reasoning as important ends in their own right.

I think to understand where and why the court acts as it does during any period of time we must understand how current events, trends in or changes in society, and past application of Constitutional law affect those decisions.

I personally believe that if we study the decisions made years ago up until now, taking into account what was going on during the period the decisions were being made, the status or trend in society, and what the law, then we can pretty much can gauge how the opinion would most likely read and the why of behind the thinking.

For example, if justices believe we are under "terrorist" attack, we will see a more conservative approach.

How to Create a Word 2007 Document with a Different First Page Header
Microsoft Word 2007 has many customizable features. Most people don't want the header or footer on the first page, which is usually the title page or a cover page. In Word 2007 suppressing the header for that page is easy. The process also works if you want a first page that is different from the rest of the document. Many times people like their company logo in the first page header, but not in the rest of the Word document.
Click the Insert tab.
From the Header & Footer group, choose Header → Edit Header.
In the Options group, select Different First Page.
You see the Header tag change to First Page header, and the Footer tag change likewise. That's your visual clue that the first page of the document sports a different header from the one in the rest of the document.
You can still edit the First Page header, if you'd like. It's merely different, not necessarily empty. But by leaving the header field blank, or deleting it's contents you're removing the header from your first page.

BOISE, IDAHO, USA: The last time USA played Serbia in Davis Cup by BNP Paribas competition was in the first round in 2010. That tie was played in Serbia and the home team walked off with a victory on the way to winning the Davis Cup that year.
USA has got the opportunity to level the ledger in Boise, Idaho where the altitude is just short of 3,000 feet. Both teams come into the weekend feeling strong and confident.
The draw was held at the main train station which is now a museum and looks out across this very pretty city. The last passenger train rolled through Boise depot in 1997 but Jim Courier is hoping that his team of new USA No.1 Sam Querrey, John Isner and Bob and Mike Bryan will keep things on track.
The tie will open with world No. 1 Novak Djokovic playing Isner and then Viktor Troiki will face Querrey. As expected the doubles rubber will feature the Bryan twins against Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac, although most people are not expecting that to be the final make-up of the Serbian tandem on Saturday.
The reverse singles has Querrey playing Djokovic and then Isner facing Troicki.
"I think there is no clear favourite in this competition, especially in the latter stages (like) the quarterfinals," said Djokovic. "USA is always going to be a difficult opponent, especially if they're choosing the conditions and location of play.
"We all know that John and Sam possess great serves, as well as Mike and Bob. On the other hand we have tall guys as well. It's going to be an interesting tie. Hopefully we can get a win."
Djokovic said his loss in Miami the previous week, while very disappointing, gave him an opportunity to get to Boise early and allow him to acclimatise to the conditions. However he is not concerned at a suggestion that the loss to Tommy Haas would affect his confidence.
"This is sport. You've got to be ready to win and lose," added Djokovic. "I've been very consistent in the last few years of my career. I understand that people are always expecting me to play semis or finals of every event I play in.
"If a loss before that stage of the tournament happens, everybody starts questioning it. I'm feeling good, I'm practising, I'm moving on. I'm trying to play well here and hopefully we can bring the win to Serbia."
Obviously Jim Courier and his boys have a vastly different view on things. The Americans were stung with the loss in Belgrade three years ago but Courier says that has not been mentioned once in the locker room. The team is just focused on winning this weekend.
"Preparations have been very good and we've all been in Boise for quite a while getting good practice at the arena, getting comfortable. Our guys are feeling good," explained Courier.
"Going up against a team as accomplished as Serbia is a big challenge and we look forward to that challenge. We're going to have to play our best tennis to get through this weekend, starting with the first ball to the last ball.
"Every single match is going to be difficult. We feel like we can make things difficult for them."
In the singles head to head series for the opening day's rubbers Djokovic leads Isner 2-1 including a win in their only Davis Cup match in 2010 and Troicki leads Querrey 2-1 but Querrey won their only Davis Cup match also in 2010.
The full draw is listed below:
FridayR1: John Isner (USA) v Novak Djokovic (SRB)R2: Sam Querrey (USA) v Viktor Troicki (SRB)

Installing Drywall on Tricky, Rounded Corners
In the past twenty years, interior design has embraced more curves, introducing the rounded edge on drywall corners. Some still choose the more traditional square corner, but most prefer the smoother, more modern look.
How to create a rounded edge: When hanging the drywall, install just as you would on any other corner. Bring the drywall flush with the edge, nailing securely into place. After you have hung all of the sheets in the room, it is time to install your edge pieces. Outside edges are less protected than inside corners and require additional reinforcement through the use of a corner bead. Corner bead comes in long strips of plastic or metal, and is contoured to fit over the edge of the drywall. It comes square or rounded. Typically, it has small nail holes already, but you can always screw into place through the material.
Finishing the rounded edge: After the corner bead is securely attached, apply a thin coat of plaster or drywall mud over the edges. Allow to dry, and then lightly sand. It may be necessary to add repeat coats until the edge is smooth and no lines are visible. It is possible for the whole piece of edging to become covered before you are finished. When texturing, texture over the corner just as you would the rest of the wall. When it is painted, it will blend into the rest of the wall for a custom, contemporary look.
Finishing corners both inside and out can be complicated. Allow yourself plenty of time, and patiently work each section until you reach the desired appearance. If you would like some assistance with your project, request free estimates from licensed drywall contractors in your area.

Update 8/19/14: There was a huge response following the publication of this story. After many people were interviewed, the home that best fit Trixie was selected - she has been adopted!
Approximately four years ago, an English bulldog named "Trixie" was brought into a day care facility in Los Angeles, Calif., to enjoy a day of fun...but at the end of the day, nobody came to take Trixie back home.
The facility did not turn its back on the abandoned dog; for years, the kennel, though un-traditional, became Trixie's home. Unfortunately, Trixie is once again in need of somewhere to go after the boarding facility where she has been living went out of business.
The individual who is currently trying to secure a loving home for Trixie emailed the following information:
A cat rescue is taking care of her right now but it is time to get her a wonderful home.
Person works at the cat rescue contacted me and asked for my help, she brought Trixie to my house, we spent some time with her.
First we gave her a good bath, some massage, nice walk and she met rest of the pack, we took some pictures and made a video.
Trixie is a bulldog, my guess she is 6-8 years old. She is housebroken, very calm dog.
Trixie gets along with other dogs, both large and small. She enjoys slow, leisurely walks and the company of people. A home in California is being sought for this beautiful girl - four years without a true guardian is four years too long...please help Trixie find a secure, loving home.
Anyone with questions or who is interested in offering Trixie a home is asked to email: email@example.com.
Facebook thread for Trixie here.

After converted a table from MyISAM to InnoDB, "show table status" command returns different row numbers to correct figure showed by "count(*)" command. That's probably due to compact row format used in InnoDB tables.
I wonder if there is a way to quickly get correct row numbers for all tables on InnoDB engine by "show table status" command just like what it shows for MyISAM tables.

Over at Craft Cravings, a tour of a beautiful vineyard and winery inspired Heather to craft a wine gift bag.
The neat thing about this gift bag is that it is completely upcycled! Heather used a sleeve cut off from an old shirt to make it. After sewing the shirtsleeve into a triangular bag shape, she added a ribbon in a coordinating color to the bag, creating a tie for the top. Perfect! It looks great as a wine gift bag, but this upcycling project could be used to make a gift bag for any occasion.
