Police close investigation into death of Norwich man, William Phillips
16:10 28 September 2012
Police have today closed their investigation into the death of Norwich man, William Phillips.
Thirty-four-year-old Mr Phillips, of Derby Street, died following an altercation near to the doctors' surgery in Oak Street, Norwich, which took place at about 8.50am on Wednesday, July 18.
He received initial treatment at the surgery and was taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
A 22-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident and had been released on police bail.
Police said that the facts relating to the death have been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service for consideration and a decision has been made that no further action should be taken against the arrested man. Mr Phillips' family has been informed.
A Norfolk police spokesman said the Joint Norfolk and Suffolk Major Investigation Team concluded that no criminal offences had been committed in relation to his death, and it is no longer being treated as suspicious. A file will now be passed to the coroner and a full inquest will be held at a later date.
Would you like to pay tribute to Mr Phillips in the Evening News or EDP? Email reporter David Bale at firstname.lastname@example.com

TUCSON--Region top-seed Arizona used a big inning to beat North Dakota State, 11-0, in first-round action of the NCAA Softball Championship regional Friday evening and move on in the Tucson winner's bracket.
The Cats made the most of five hits in the five-inning game, two of them by senior second baseman Kristen Arriola to drive in six runs.
UA (36-17) took a two-run lead in the bottom of the first without a hit. Leadoff hitter Karissa Buchanan was hit by a pitch, stole second and advanced to third on a catcher's throwing error on the play. Brigette Del Ponte also was hit by a pitch and stole second, and then Lini Koria's sac bunt plated Buchanan. Shelby Pendley walked and then UA executed a double steal for another run. Both runs were unearned.
The Bison threatened with singles by Brea Konz and Alex Sobrero, and a ground ball to move both into scoring position in the top of the second but UA pitcher Shelby Babcock (20-9) struck out Jenina Ortega to halt the rally. UA stranded two in the bottom of the inning as well.
North Dakota State (37-21) loaded the bases with one out on singles by Jamie Gay, Katie Tamayo and Cristina Borek in the top of the third. Babcock struck out Amanda Grable and got an infield ground ball to short to thwart another threat.
The Cats blew it open with a bases-loaded homer by Kristen Arriola in the third. Del Ponte led off with a triple off reliever Whitney Johnson, and scored on a fly ball by Perelini Koria, who reach on a dropped ball. Jessica Spigner and Chelsea Goodacre walked, and Arriola knocked her third grand slam and ninth home run of the year to left center.
The Cats added four runs in their half of the fourth, again with minimal hitting. Del Ponte and Koria walked, Spigner was hit by a pitch and Goodacre's grounder was mishandled to allow Del Ponte to score and then Arriola drove in two more with a double to left-center field. Pinch-hitter Nicole Bryan walked and Buchanan singled in another run for the final UA scoring.
Arriola's six rbi matched a career high against UTEP in March 2009. The Arizona margin of victory was its sixth-largest out of 149 NCAA tournament victories.
North Dakota State's Krista Menke (24-12) took the loss in two innings, allowing just one hit. Babcock gave up seven hits, walked one and struck out six.
Arizona advances to meet Notre Dame (39-14) in the winner's bracket game at 3 p.m. (MST/PDT) Saturday at Hillenbrand Stadium. North Dakota State will face Hawaii in the first elimination game, following
"It was a good start. Going into today's game, I wanted to instill in their minds to be the aggressors. Our start really set the tone, and the grand slam gave us a good cushion."
"I know Shelby (Babcock) felt it was an honor to get the start, but I know she deserved it. She's really come into her own. She got herself out of a couple jams today that would have turned ugly last year. You can really see the growth."
"North Dakota State is a very good team, we just took them out, and that's really what you try to do. Tomorrow, we face Notre Dame, a good, balanced team with as much or even more speed than we do. I'm impressed with their start today. The middle of their lineup made a couple clutch plays, and they're battle tested. They didn't panic and played the game one pitch at a time.
Senior Kristen Arriola
"The win gives us a lot of momentum going into tomorrow's games. We have our heads screwed on right, and just have to continue playing behind our pitchers."
On the bases-loaded homer
"I just had to stay calm and stick to my game plan. I'm never comfortable going up with the bases loaded, but I had to play for my team. As a senior, any game can be my last, and I just want to keep going."
Junior Brigette Del Ponte
"Shelby did a good job not walking the batters, and we took a lot of smart swings. It's not like they threw a lot of walks, but we fouled off the right pitches and got on base."
Sophomore Shelby Babcock
"I'm very honored to get the ball today. It gives me a lot of confidence. I know the biggest thing is limiting walking their batters, and it went well for me."
On the upcoming opponent
"Notre Dame is a quick and scrappy team. They're going to give us a good fight tomorrow."
North Dakota State Head Coach Darren Mueller:
"Arizona is a very talented team, and it didnt help that we kept getting their hitters on base with walks and hit by pitches. I'm certainly surprised that they managed to get more runs even though we out-hit them, but it's tough to get the lead when you keep putting people on base."
"We did some good things, but obviously not good enough. We just have to regroup for tomorrow and make some adjustments so we can give Hawaii a good game."
Senior Brea Konz
"It's a different playing surface out here, harder, and the ball takes a bigger bounce, but that isn't why I made my error. It's not the surface that caused our defense to fail."
"We have another opportunity tomorrow to come back out and make some adjustments. It's a new game and we just have to make some correstions and take it one pitch at a time."
Game 1 - Notre Dame 7, Hawaii 3
TUCSON--Freshman Emilee Koerner drove in the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth, and Katey Haus followed with a two-run home run to pace Notre Dame to an upset over No. 13-ranked Hawaii, 7-3, in first-round NCAA Softball Championships regional action Friday.
Laura Winter (28-9) went the distance for the Irish (39-14), scattering seven hits although three were Wahine home runs.
Notre Dame leadoff batter Alexa Maldonado clouted a 2-0 pitch over the fence in right-center to start the game, her seventh home run of the year, to open the scoring.
Hawaii (44-8) stranded three runners in the bottom of the inning after an error, walk and fielder's choice loaded the bases with two outs. Winter struck out Leisha Li'ili'i to end the threat.
Hawaii's Kelly Majam answered with a towering shot off the scoreboard beyond right field in the bottom of the third to knot the score. Leisha Li'ili'i socked a leadoff home in the next frame to put the Rainbow Wahine on top, 2-1.
The Irish came right back with hits by Jenna Simon and Kelsey Thornton with one out in the top of the fifth. UH pitcher Stephanie Ricketts (27-10) got a pop out, but Dani Miller knocked in two runs with a double past centerfielder Majam to put Notre Dame back on top, 3-2.
Majam pulled one to left-center for her 15th homer to tie the game in the bottomof the fifth.
Notre Dame had a runner thrown out at the plate in the top of the seventh. Miller singled to right and advanced to second on an error by fielder Sharla Kliebenstein, but was gunned down by trying to score on a single by Emilee Koerner.
Notre Dame advances in the winner's bracket to play the victor of Friday's North Dakota State-Arizona game at 3 p.m. local time Saturday. Hawaii will play that game's loser in the first elimination game following at 5:30 p.m.
Postgame Quotes
Game 1 - Notre Dame (visitor) vs. Hawaii (home)
Notre Dame Head Coach Deanna Gumpf:
On the 9th inning...
"We just took the 9th inning one pitch at a time and we didn't take anything for granted. We were just focusing on hitting the ball and keeping the rally going. I feel like Laura stuck to that plan all game."
On the team's mindset...
"Coming into this game, all we cared about was
Sophomore Pitcher Laura Winter:
On her performance...
"I felt great all day. I knew that if I could keep my composure, my team would figure out how to score some runs for us, and they did."
Freshman Infielder Katey Haus:
On the home run in the 9th inning... "I was just looking to get a base hit there. All I wanted was to get on base. The ball felt good coming off the bat and it just left the yard. It felt so good."
Hawaii Head Coach Bob Coolen:
"It was a good game until that last inning. We gave them a lot of opportunities early, but we played good defense to stay in it. Kelly Majam was our whole offense today, no one else really stepped up when we needed them to."
"Errors are very frustrating, and it seems be the story of how we ended the WAC Tournament, and we don't want to end this event on the same note. It puts a lot of pressure on our pitcher, and when that happens, mistakes happen. Right now we have to clean things up, and depend on Kaia (Parnaby) for the next game.
Junior Center Fielder Kelly Majam:
"Lots of losing teams have come through the losing bracket. It's difficult, but if they can do it, then so can we. We have a lot of experienced players, and we all know how to get it done."
"Hitting well gives a lot of confidence, and that goes a long way. I'm thankful that I did so well today, but it doesn't mean much because we didn't get the win."

The 49ers announced they have acquired WR Stevie Johnson from the Buffalo Bills for a 2015 draft pick. It will be a conditional fourth-round pick which could become a third-round draft pick, per sources.
Johnson, who was born in Fairfield, CA and played junior college football at Chabot, was a seventh-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in 2008. From 2010-2012, he had more than 1,000 receiving yards in each season, but is coming off a year where he had 592 receiving yards in 12 games.
Last night for the first-round of the 2014 NFL Draft, the Bills traded up five spots for WR Sammy Watkins where they gave up a first-round pick in 2015 to draft him. Johnson, 27, became expendable when they acquired Watkins.
Bills General Manager Doug Whaley released the following statement on Johnson:
"Today's decision was not an easy one to make, especially involving a player like Stevie. We wish him best of luck with the 49ers and his NFL career."
Johnson signed a five-year extension in 2012 with the Bills and will be under contract with the 49ers through the 2016 season. He is a decent possession receiver, but isn't the greatest deep threat to stretch the field.
With Johnson joining the team, he will join a mix of Quinton Patton, Devon Wylie, Brandon Lloyd and Kassim Osgood for a slot receiver role behind Anquan Boldin and Michael Crabtree. The final two years of his contract will have him making $6 million. In 2014, he will be making $3.9 million.
The 49ers still have five draft picks for Day 2 of the NFL Draft which includes two in the 2nd round and three in the 3rd round. Four of the five picks can be traded with the fifth one (100th overall) cannot be traded as it is a compensatory pick for the the loss of Dashon Goldson in free agency.

Once an important employer, a viable revenue producer and a valuable service provider to Honolulu's recreational boaters, the Ala Wai Boatyard has been closed for business for nearly five and a half years.
The previous operators of the boatyard were ordered to vacate the property in the first week of January 2009. Subsequently a "Request for Proposals" from new potential operators was announced by Hawaii's Department of Land and Natural Resources, which controls the property. The lease of a nearby fuel dock operation was also included in the offer.
Only one of two RFPs that were received by the department was deemed worthy of consideration and since that time the DLNR and the developer have been working together with the city's Department of Planning to resolve zoning and environmental review issues.
The DLNR, which is responsible for the property, together with its Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation, announced in September 2009 that a developer - Honey Bee USA, Inc. - had submitted the only acceptable proposal for the vacated boatyard.
One proposed structure is to be a four-story, 60-foot-high "Boatyard Building" fronting Ala Moana Boulevard offering retail and restaurant space on the second and third floors. The fourth floor would also have restaurant space, plus office space. The first floor would be used for commercial boat ticket sales, retail kiosks and possibly an ice cream and sandwich place, the developer has said.
A new 30-foot-high, two-story wharf building would run parallel to the Ala Wai channel, which would also house restaurants and a separate two-story building will house a wedding chapel.
Over four years after that proposal had been accepted, DOBOR Administrator Ed Underwood, in response to an e-mailed question said, "We are happy to announce that the lease was finally issued in December 2013. The contractor is now in the process of starting construction."
Fast-forward to this week – some six months later - and it is obvious to anyone passing by the property that such construction has not yet begun. A DOBOR representative could not confirm rumors of Honey Bee's inability to attract a sufficient number of qualified tenants as one reason for the project's delay.
The same DOBOR representative did confirm however, that Honey Bee Inc. has continued to pay the state $15,000 per month to maintain its lease.

It was a very special event last night at the unique Black River Playhouse…the home of the Chester Theatre Group. Director/actor Michael T. Mooney with a talented cast of five presented a delightful 75th Birthday celebration for famed British playwright Alan Ayckbourn. The celebration, that included readings of scenes from ten of Ayckbourn's plays, ended with the enthusiastic audience joining in the party with cake and champagne.
The show traced his remarkable career through excerpts from some of his best-loved plays, including ABSURD PERSON SINGULAR, HOUSE & GARDEN and THE NORMAN CONQUESTS. The evening also included an exclusive excerpt from his very first play, 1959's THE SQUARE CAT - never before heard in the USA.
The cast included Cody Dalton, Volney Stefflre, Kelly Maizenaski, David Neal, Juliann DiPietro-Renshaw, and director Michael T. Mooney (see photos)
At the close, the cast and audience joined in a group 'Happy Birthday' moment for Ayckbourn who was three thousand miles away at his home in England (see photos).
In addition to the reading of selected scenes, the program opened ("The Hallo Song") and closed ("Half A Moment") with music from "By Jeeves." "Jeeves" was a collaboration with Andrew Lloyd Webber….Ayckbourn contributed both the book and lyrics.
Tom Rodgers (Musical Director) was at the keyboard. The evening was produced by Gloria Lamoureux.

Johnson Tabbed Defensive Player of the Week: Freshman Ashleigh Johnson earned her second consecutive CWPA Defensive Player of the Week accolade following her 43-save, six-steal and 3-1 weekend at the Bucknell Invite.

Saturday night, the New England Revolution ground out a point in a 1-1 tie with the Portland Timbers at Gillette Stadium for a crowd of 16,409.
New England (8-12-3, 27 pts.) now stand sixth in the Eastern Conference, just outside the playoff bracket, and 13th across 19-team MLS. The Portland Timbers (7-7-10, 31 pts.) hold the sixth spot in the Western Conference and stand ninth overall.
Charlie Davies put the Revolution ahead 1-0 in the 27th minute for his second goal of the season and New England held the lead until the half. Diego Fagundez's assist was his fourth of the season and 14th of his career. Unfortunately, defender Kevin Alston was injured in the play and had to be replaced with Darrius Barnes in the 28th minute. Portland came out of the break with a plan and defender Liam Ridgewell ran straight through the back line to equalize 1-1 in the 78th minute for the final result.
"I thought the game was a little bit of a tale of two halves," said head coach Jay Heaps. "I thought we were there in the first half with the right way we played. Then the second half we let them back and that's disappointing because when you have a team you think you can put away, we've got to start putting them away and we had the chance in the first half.
.... To be honest with you, it wasn't anything as much what they did as much as what we did. We gave them the ball back. We had turnovers and I'm going to look on film, but I look down here and we've got 67 percent accuracy, it felt like 37 percent. We were giving the ball away unforced and that's not good enough."
The Revolution outshot Portland in overall shots (15/11) and shots on target (six/four), forcing Timbers goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts to make five saves. Kelyn Rowe contributed a couple dangerous shots.
Lee Nguyen played his third consecutive game without a caution and successfully earned a Good Behavior exemption. He will enter next Saturday's game with his caution total reset at three. Shalrie Joseph made the bench his first time since acquired in the Waiver Draft on April 22.
Next up
The Revolution next host Chivas USA at Gillette Stadium on Saturday, August 23, in the teams' only meeting this season. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on Comcast SportsNet New England.

At the end of Before Sunrise, Jesse and Celine decide to meet again on the same platform at a specific time in the future. Before Sunset and Before Midnight continue their story in the future. But was this how it was planned back when the first instalment's script was written? Did Richard Linklater plan the nine-year gaps? Or was the date decided due more to circumstance than to any deliberate plan?
It was definitely not a plan from the start to have sequels with nine-year gaps. I'm having trouble finding the interview I read where they initially said the first sequel was not planned at the time, but grew organically as they kept in touch. For Before Midnight, Ethan Hawke said in Entertainment Weekly (May 10, 2013 issue, page 45):
Later in the interview, page 46:
That wording seems to imply the first sequel was not planned right after the first movie, and nor was the second sequel planned right after the first. It wasn't unexpected but there was no grand plan in place at the time.
Keeping in mind there are semi-autobiographical elements in the films about growing older, and they are co-written by all three, it's difficult to plan or plot a sequel nine years in advance.
I wouldn't be surprised if the idea for the first sequel really took off in 2001 on the set of Waking Life which had a little vignette featuring Hawke and Delpi reprising their roles from Before Sunrise (1995).
EDIT: From an interview with Julie Delpi for Before Sunrise:
So the year after Waking Life they started writing the script. When asked (in the same interview) if there would be a sequel in another nine years she replied:

Mostly sunny, warm Sunday in store
Published: Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 8:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 8:26 p.m.
Despite some dense morning fog, it is expected to be a warm and sunny Sunday around Volusia and Flagler counties.
According to the National Weather Service in Melbourne, the the high temperature Sunday will be 74 degrees. It will remain partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of showers and light and variable winds. Tonight, it will be mostly cloudy with a low around 59 degrees and a chance of showers will remain before 4 a.m.
In Palm Coast, expect isolated showers in the afternoon. Otherwise, it will be mostly sunny with a high temperature of 71 degrees and winds out of the northeast at 9 to 15 miles per hour. The mercury will dip to 58 degrees Sunday night.
At the beaches, there is a moderate risk of rip currents, with waves of 1 to 3 feet. Swimmers and surfers are advised to use caution.

NHL free agency is right around the corner, and teams are going to start reshaping their rosters to try and catch the Los Angeles Kings. Meanwhile, the Kings will try and stay the king. While teams cannot sign other team's free agents just yet, teams can re-sign their own players, and two guys who were traded during the season have signed new deals with their new teams. Ryan Callahan is staying with Tampa Bay, while Marian Gaborik has signed a deal with the aforementioned Kings.
Callahan, who was captain of the New York Rangers where he was traded to Tampa for Martin St. Louis, has signed a six year deal for $34.8 million, which gives him a cap hit of $5.8 million. That's not insignificant, but it's not huge either, especially since the cap is going to be rising in the near future, perhaps substantially. However, it may still be too much for Callahan, unless you are interested in paying for "leadership" or whatever. He has one 29 goal, 54 point season to his credit, but last year he only had 17 goals and 36 points. He's a winger, and he doesn't really drive possession. He was made a captain though, because of grit or whatever. That's not nothing, even if I don't put much stock into it. He's also 29, so by the time this deal is done he'll be out of his prime. I'm not thrilled about this for the Lightning, but they aren't really a free agent draw, and they are a good team already, and they will add Jonathan Drouin. Sometimes you have to overpay.
Gaborik, meanwhile, earned himself some straight cash with his playoff performance. He spent the regular season hurt in Columbus, got traded to the Kings, and then scored 14 goals to lead all postseason performers en route to LA's Cup win. Gaborik added a new dimension to a team that had trouble scoring. That was enough to get him a seven year deal. The cap hit is $4.875 million, so Gaborik is getting almost a million bucks less per season than Callahan, even though he's a better player. However, he's better now, but he's also 32 and has a history of injuries. I bet he could have gotten more cash on the open market, but he got security, and he got to stay in a situation that worked out well for him.
He's not going to be a 40 goal scorer anymore. At best, he probably has a couple 25 goal seasons, but he'll get his shots and be dynamic... at least for now. This deal takes him until he's 39, though. He could retire, which means cap recapture penalties. The Lightning paid to keep a leader in a city that doesn't have a ton of cache in the NHL. The Kings paid to keep a Cup winning team together (they also re-signed Matt Greene for what it's worth). And so it begins.

Dystopia 2030
I admit it: sometimes when I think an idea might make a great novel, I get sick of writing it before I hit Chapter 5. Such a thing happened with ULTIMATUM. I really don't believe that America will become a de facto theocracy, after thinking about it long and hard. No matter what our homegrown religious fundamentalists pay for and pray for, I think that the U.S. will continue to be a primarily secular nation. That said, here are some ideas I'm kicking around for a Dystopia 2030 sort of epicwreck (N: a depiction of an epic wreck of our country). Do these things seem possible, or are they just as weird and foundationally sketchy as the scenario for ULTIMATUM? Please vote for the ideas you think I should "run with", and I'll "run with" the ones you think are most plausible.
Thank you!
The Foreign debt scenario is really already happening if you look at it. The United States owes obscene amounts of money to China among others and we continue to spend domestically as well as to give aid to countries who, while likely need it, will never pay it back just as we refused to collect on debts owed to us after World War II and beyond.
The double digit thing and foreign debt is already starting to happen. A dystopic U.S. would probably have record high crime. Prostitution and drug use - it's legal in parts of Europe, and I'd be okay with legalizing it here; to me, it's that person's choice if they take drugs or start seeing a prostitute. I can see crime going way up, however. Quite frankly, it's easier to get a gun than a pack of cigarettes over here. That could cause some serious repurcussions long-term. I have no clue where criminals get the money for all those weapons.
At the poll: why not all of them?
Check out "Iron Heel, Iron Hand"--my first chapter! :) Please comment/leave feedback! ;)
My prediction for 2030? Oceania.
That's what I'm (slowly) trying to get at with my story, though if I copy Orwell's text, his estate is going to sue me. *LOL*
Here's another one:
"The US enters into a civil war, resulting in a WWIII scenario."
Essentially, either victor would result in a world dystopia...provided there was a victor.
*Takes a look at all of the options*
*Looks at America*
*Looks at South Africa*
Apologies to everyone in here polishing guns hugging their copy of 1984, but I think the United States has a little more sense than to turn into South Africa within 10 years. Seems like more doomsday predictions that wont come true imo.
Apologies to everyone hugging their naive, grossly misplaced trust in our bloated, corrupt government, but more and more of that sense that you're talking about is being systematically eroded away on a daily basis by the "education" system and the media.
I voted for the donating tissues option. Since people already donate blood & bone marrow , I don't see it as much of a stretch to donate...other things, if they need the money. Especially since one day you could regrow them.
I think all Tysy is trying to do is drum up some discussion to see what might make a good idea for a work of fiction. We're not merely speculating on the state of the world in the future.
@thread...I'll stick by my original statements Tysy...given the sizeable amount of debt the United States already owes to other countries and what not though I could see a combination of debt, unemployment, and another major war creating your dystopia scenario as well.
Couldn't have said it better myself, Athos. I know I'll never be able to outdo the masters of dystopia (Orwell and Huxley), but that doesn't mean I can't give it a shot and write a story about what a dystopia might look like now that the "telescreen" has come to life, among other things. Thanks! :)
I'm not so pessimistic. I doubt any of these scenarios are true in 2030. I think the pre-school one is the most likely simply b/c people are trying to give children a ridiculously early start as it is.
Those inclined to think along doom and gloom with conspiracies likely will see it increasing. Sure things like numbers might increase but so does a population over time as we have seen. Hell, we saw the world population increase from 6 billion to 7 billion in, what 10 years or less?
We'd have to view it w.r.t. proportion to population size to see what a disaster this really would be. This and a number of other factors.
I see little we can do. I think those in power on all sides want us to have an international, borderless country dependent on a world banking model, wanting us to just STFU and let them extend their reach into every facet of our lives.
Governments and corporations are essentially the same in my eyes: 2 hogs fighting over a steak, and we the people between them. Are we going to let them turn us into a squirrel or are we going to fight them and be another hog in the fight?
I have a suggestion as to how we might start moving away from credit debt in our daily lives:
While folks like Jon Ralston at LV sun and NBC news channel 4 in Las Vegas laughed along with the mockery made to Sue Lowden* (and by extension insulting the Amish--who live a HELL of a lot more economically balanced lives than us) for raising the "barter option", I can say that trade without involving money is an equitable and reasonable thing that people have done throughout our history on this planet, and will continue to do so. Would not surprise me if big business advocates (hypocritically) also decry it.
*(Nevada primary candidate for US senate these midterm elections, 2010)
But whatever, the same people talking about how we Americans need to be knocked down a peg from our modern life will attack the very thing they don't even realize they're advocating in the long run, just because it's "the (insert political affiliation) thing" to do.
I have used trade and barter many, many times personally throughout my life. Likely so has anybody else--it's practiaclly unavoidable unless you're living an insipid life in some isolated world. You could say that a subculture of this country is our local markets (farmer's markets, flea markets, etc.)in which we trade--mini economies which are the pulse of the little people.
RELEVANT Long and short: If I can trade and negotiate services for doctor's appointments, or trips to the dentist, I will. If I have to fix power tools for a shop foreman in order to have something specially machined, I will. Sure the accounting is there with currency as the standard that would otherwise be involved, but it isn't involved if it doesn't have to be. The only things changing hands are services, invoices, and handshakes when it's all over.
"It's outdated and out of style."
:rolleyes: There's a saying "If it works, use it--if it keeps working, stick with it." Oh wait, that's two sayings in one.
"It's out of touch and from a long time ago"
People still do it today, almost subconsciously. Never stopped. Difference now is we primarily use money.
"The world has moved on from that, we have <insert market, and blahblahblah>, you need to live in the real world of here and now."
If the world has moved on from it, why is it still going on?
"We need currency. It's impractical not to have it."
It's impractical to completely eliminate currency, it is not impractical to reduce use of currency. Yes we do need it, though the reason currency was originally invented was because goods to be traded may not have met one trader's needs at a particular time. The concept of barter and trade still exists and it still works.
I.E. Fiscally conservative democrats were a separate group from general democrats; you'd have libertarians in general; Traditional conservatives and secular conservatives; Green Party, as opposed what I'd like to call "Green Marketeers**; moderates; liberals separate from progressives; and let's not forget independents.
**Those who perhaps are a bit more moderate or even conservative but still have beliefs in preservation of the environment, and have different and more practical ways of going about it as opposed to purely idealistic, also are markedly for finding transitional solutions that *do not* overly detriment the economy. Purely my naming but it is *not* a new idea (feel free to use it, though). Being ex Green myself, I still like to pride myself on advocacy of self sustaining, clean energy solutions for every household--every man producing most if not all of the power he uses. That is the ultimate of energy independence. I credit the Nikola Tesla as father of the modern household energy independence concept. It isn't 100% practical, but I think it's a start.
You'll forgive my speculation:
I see a China world power rising. Most of the world will come to rely upon a chinese centric Asia in the world market. Also, though only time will tell, I do not believe the Chinese wish to be too friendly with the U.S. for very much longer as a matter of ascending to mantle of economic world power. Their vast population and land occupation will inhibit them from being able to give independent transportation to its people in a ratio like America has already done. Still, they will try to buy everyone they can and pull them away from the U.S. Some countries will remain loyal but America will likely face some setbacks at the least.
What china doesn't have is original ideas. We still have innovation and we needn't give up our ideas.
I do not believe the rest of the world will rise to our standards of living, often what happens is the high end gets dragged down to everybody else's level.
We could become our own producer again. I don't see why we have to buy everybody's trash when we slip. Sure it'll drive costs up, but that's the price we'll have to pay. It isn't protectionism or anti trade, isolationism or xenophobia, it's self sustainism. Investing in our own firms is investing in our own country. Why don't we just give up our farming? Because it is strategically wise in the case of a world disaster (long overdue according to geologists) we need something to produce our own food in case we're cut off from the rest of the world. Because international trade has sold our jobs overseas.
It was possible to simply work long and hard to make your fortune, once. It is now no longer. An education will only guarantee an education and promise some consideration over others. It seems in this age that is your best hope as it is almost unheard of anymore to become something purely by trade and training anymore. Still a generalist seems to adapt well due to experience and pragmatism--even so it's hard. Combining general pragmatism and education is one's best bet.

Men's Lacrosse Drops High-Scoring Battle With No. 17 Drexel, 15-14
April 13, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - Sophomore attack Grant Whiteway earned a career-high five goals and senior attack Kyle Smith tied a personal best with eight points; however, UMass men's lacrosse faltered in a 15-14 contest against No. 17 Drexel on Saturday. Senior attack Will Manny provided six points on a pair of goals and four helpers while Smith finished with three goals and a single-game career high five assists. Junior attack Connor Mooney added three goals and an assist to complete the trio of Minutemen recording hat tricks at Garber Field against the Dragons.
Goalies Zach Oliveri and Reed Goodhue split time in the cage for the Minutemen, with Oliveri making five stops against seven goals allowed in the first half before Goodhue turned aside 11 shots in the second while giving up eight tallies. Senior attack Bobby Tyler recorded a pair of assists against the Dragons to move his season total to 14, securing his first goal of the 2013 campaign as well.
Drexel (9-3 overall, 4-1 CAA) used three straight goals during the fourth quarter to move ahead for good, 15-13. Frank Fusco started the run unassisted with 12:05 to play before Nick Trizano converted a pass from Ryan Belka to push the Dragons in front by one at the 7:13 mark. Chris Frederick completed the scoring effort for Drexel on a feed from Trizano with 4:28 left to earn the eventual margin of victory for the Dragons.
Kyle Smith had a chance to rally the Minutemen one more time stopped by Drexel goalie Cal Winkleman as time expired in the contest. Senior defender Jake Smith forced a Robert Church turnover in the UMass defensive zone to earn UMass possession with seven seconds to play. Jake Smith sent the play forward to Manny near the midline as Kyle Smith raced onto the field from the substitution box. Manny found Kyle Smith unguarded 10 yards from the left post of the Drexel cage, with Smith catching and firing a low, on-target attempt that was blocked by Winkleman to prevent the Minutemen from equalizing.
Drexel notched a goal each from Frederick and Ben McIntosh to stake the visitors to a 2-0 lead with 8:39 remaining in the first before UMass responded with four consecutive tallies to establish the back-and-forth offensive play shown throughout the contest.
Whiteway earned his first of five goals on a pass from Manny with 3:45 to play in the opening quarter. Manny followed up his helper with a goal only 2:06 later to even the contest at 2-2. The Minutemen continued the run with back-to-back tallies to start the second quarter as Mooney earned a goal only 23 seconds into the stanza. Whiteway followed at the 12:01 mark before four straight Drexel marks gave the visitors a 6-4 lead approaching halftime.
Tyler broke the Drexel scoring stretch on his first goal of the year with 2:28 to play in the second. Tyler controlled play 20 yards from the Drexel cage and sprinted toward the net before placing a shot by Winkleman to cut the deficit to 6-5.
Kyle Smith followed with back-to-back goals spanning 26 seconds to put UMass in front, 7-6. To notch the first of the duo, Smith converted an acrobatic play at the left post for the goal. Met by a defender at the crease, Smith jumped into the air in an attempt to dodge the hit and create a shooting angle, being spun 360 degrees as a result of the physical play while depositing a one-handed attempt into the back of the cage.
The Minutemen (5-7, 0-4) appeared to be headed to the break with a one-game advantage after Kyle Smith added UMass' seventh of the day following a pass from Ryan Izzo with 59 seconds left in the second; however, Robert Church rallied the Dragons following the ensuing faceoff. After Drexel established possession following a UMass turnover, Church raced from the left post toward the center of the field before firing an attempt on-target with 17 seconds left to tie the game at 7-7.
The Minutemen maintained their scoring output during the final half, with Mooney and Whiteway notching a goal each only nine seconds apart to stake UMass to a 9-7 lead with 12:41 to play in the third. After Mooney's tally with 12:50 remaining, UMass won the following faceoff, with junior midfielder Joe Calvello scooping up the groundball and racing toward the Drexel net to begin the fastbreak play. Calvello found Kyle Smith near the cage, with the Longmeadow, Mass., native distributing to Whiteway to complete the scoring chance.
After Drexel answered with consecutive tallies to even the score at 9-9, the squads exchanged goals throughout the reminder of the third until McIntosh added his fifth of the day with 1:49 to play to give the visiting side a 12-11 lead entering the final frame. With McIntosh scoring five goals to pace Drexel, Whiteway answered the Dragons' star with a set of goals to open the fourth and match McIntosh's output for the day.
Whiteway tied the contest at 12-12 with 13:11 to play on a pass from Tyler before using his 18th goal of the year to stake the Minutemen to a 13-12 lead 27 seconds later. After Drexel's run of three consecutive goals put the Dragons ahead 15-13 at the 4:28 mark, Manny added UMass' final tally of the day with 3:41 to play.
McIntosh's six points on five goals and an assist paced Drexel. Trizano (three goals, 1 assist), Church (two goals, two assists) and Frederick (two goals, two assists) each finished with four points on the day while Fusco added a hat trick with three tallies.
UMass finished with a slim advantage in shots, 46-45 and groundballs, 33-30. The Minutemen ended 16-of-18 on clear attempts while Drexel went 13-for-17. Oliveri and Goodhue combined for 16 stops for UMass while Winkleman notched 11 saves for the Dragons.
The UMass defense earned 10 caused turnovers against Drexel, with Jake Smith leading the way with four while adding five groundballs. Calvello finished with a team-best eight groundballs while winning 14-of-31 faceoffs.
UMass continues its season with a road contest at No. 20 Hofstra on Saturday, April 20 at 7 p.m.

The future of a council tax discount for pensioners is to be considered by Barnsley Council because the cost of the scheme is likely to 'put more pressure on limited financial resources'.
The council has approved the pensioner discount every year since 2009/10 after recognising the difficulties elderly residents face in meeting annual council tax rises. The discount is not means tested and all claimants receive a flat rate, banded discount so they pay the same amount of council tax as it would have been in 2008/9.
A council report says there is a significant take up with 10,300 households claiming a total discount of £490,000. It means on average, each qualifying household receives an annual discount of about £47, although those in higher banded properties receive considerably more.
However, the council says it is under increasing financial pressure to deliver services while making millions of pounds of efficiency savings to meet budget targets in the coming years. The report says recent take up and data suggests if the scheme continues unchanged, discount claims will continue to increase, rising to more than 10,750 claimants by 2016/17.
That would see the cost of the scheme increase 'considerably' according to the report, costing the council about £602,000, rising to about £826,000 in 2015/16 and £1,060,000 in 2016/17. The report states: "The discount is not means tested and there is no evidence to suggest that retaining or removing it would have any significant detrimental impact on pensioners currently claiming the scheme.
"This report shows that, without further check, the cost of the scheme will continue to rise, putting more pressure on the council's already limited financial resources. Members therefore need to consider if the council can continue to financially support a non-statutory pensioner discount scheme in this current climate."
Several options have been outlined for the pensioner discount scheme including removing the pensioner discount immediately, having a phased removal over a number of years, extending the scheme or restricting it to certain council tax property bands. The report says: "The options are put forward for consideration. It is recommended however that approval be given to phasing out the council tax pensioner discount scheme over a five year period from 2014/15."
Why start cutting the costs at OAP`s. Most of these folk have paid their taxes and have fought for this Country, so cut them a bit of slack. Let's start cutting the costs with the hand outs the immigrants get. They contributed "sweet F.A" to our society and yet they are entitled to claim the same as our folk and MORE!!. If we went to their Country, we would get nothing compared to what they get here, so how is this, a level playing field. I have just been into Barnsley and it is full of them, surprisingly most of them have kids. I ask the BARNSLEY COUNCIL, to give us, the "Barnsley Folk" a "TRUE AND ACCURATE" detailed itinerary on how much is spent on them. A reply under this story would be "MUCH APPRECIATED", but I am not holding my breath! Most Barnsley folk have had it "ingrained" in them over the years to vote Labour, but things have now changed and it's about time that Barnsley folk, especially the elderly had a good look at what the Labour Party is now doing for them, compared to what it used to do! VOTE UKIP!!
I have an efficiency saving suggestion, cut the amount of councilors per ward from 3 to 1 saving at least £26k a year per ward
Absolutely spot on. This council is just as rotten as our government,and they are Tory,s, when it comes to the indigenous of our country in relation to any immigrant, the immigrant is almost always favoured and has been for over twenty years. Another UKIP voter that can,t wait for the next election,, local or national.
The council wastes millions every year, it is a complete waste of money, but it is OK because the pensioners will pay, this is completely wrong.
There is "no evidence" because nobody had looked for evidence.
Look to yourselves first Barnsley MBC councillors. How much waste is there 'employing' so many councillors and then paying them 000's of pounds in expenses. At one time I remember councillors were local people who wanted to help their own areas and they did it without costing the thousands of pounds that this lot do. Doesn't matter what party they are from, they all have their snouts in the trough and the poor public pay for it.
Time for BMBC to take a long hard look at how it can cut costs by managing its services more efficiently. No chance of them doing that though

How to use the Load Balancing feature in Sun Cluster
By dlnprasad on Feb 02, 2007
Do you know that Sun Cluster provides a Load Balancing feature in addition to High Availability? This is a cool feature where you can configure the applications/data services to run on multiple systems simultaneously with existing cluster hardware. Yes, there is no need to add extra hardware for achieving this IP-based load balancing.
Most of the applications that can be highly-available can also be configured as scalable with a few extra requirements described in this document. If your application meets the above requirements, then you are ready to configure the scalable application with few simple steps
Here are the instructions:
Apache is used as an example application to demonstrate how easily the Load Balancing feature can be enabled with Sun Cluster. Below examples show the new CLI available in sc3.2, however the same can be achieved with equivalent old CLI available in previous releases.Register the Resource Type:
To configure a scalable resource, the RTR file should declare the Scalable property and also set FAILOVER property to false . If you are using existing data service packages to configure the scalable resource, make sure the above settings are true. Otherwise, reset the values and update the packages.
# clrt register SUNW.apache
Configure the Shared Address resource:
# clresourcegroup create shared-rg
# clressharedaddress create -g shared-rg octet-1
# clresourcegroup online -M apache-rg
This example assumes that IP address is already configured for host name octet-1.
Create the scalable resource group:
# clresourcegroup create -S apache-rg
Create the scalable resource:
Here are the descriptions of few properties of interest:
- Scalable: TRUE specifies the resource to be scalable, which enables the network framework responsible for load balancing.
- Port_list: List of port numbers where the server is listening.
- Load_balancing_policy: This value is used in deciding how the load will be distributed across the nodes. The options are:
- LB_WEIGHTED: Load will be distributed based on weights specified using the Load_balancing_weights property.
- LB_STICKY: Load will be distributed based on the client's IP address. In this case, the set of ports is known during the configuration and all the requests coming from the same client IP address will be distributed to the same node listening on this predefined port.
- LB_STICKY_WILD: Load will be distributed based on the client's IP address and in this case the ports are not known in advance and are assigned dynamically. Here, all the requests coming from the same client will go to the same node regardless of the port number to which that IP address is coming.
# clresource create -g apache-rg -t SUNW.apache \\
-p resource_dependencies=octet-1 -p Port_list=80/tcp \\
-p scalable=true -p bin_dir=/usr/apache/bin \\
-p Load_balancing_policy=LB_STICKY apache-rs
For detailed descriptions of the above properties or other scalable properties, see this document.
Bring the resource group online
# clresourcegroup online -M apache-rg
Check the status of the resources:
# clresource status
=== Cluster Resources ===
Resource Name Node Name State Status Message
--------------------- ------------------ -------- ---------------------
shared-ip poctet1 Online Online - SharedAddress online.
poctet2 Offline Offline
poctet3 Offline Offline
poctet4 Offline Offline
apache-rs poctet1 Online Online - Service is online.
poctet2 Online Online - Service is online.
poctet3 Online Online - Service is online.
poctet4 Online Online - Service is online.
That's it, you are ready to use Sun Cluster with Load balancing.
Now, you can observe the client requests getting distributed across the nodes according to the load_balancing_policy.

I'm trying to watch Apache logs for the absence of an event that should occur hourly. For instance it could be a string like: 188.8.131.52 GET /backup.tar.gz
It looks like existing code does not do this (looked at swatch and monit). I'm thinking the right solution is to write my own script which rereads the entire apache log hourly, but looks at timestamps. I'm just wondering if the solution is already out there.
