At the awards ceremony Spears said, "Wow! This is so cool! This is awesome! I was not expecting this." Spears went on to make a really dynamic speech to her fans, saying, "It's because of you that I'm able to do what I love to do. I want to thank my family --my beautiful family -- my boys at home, my management team and all of my fans. I love you dearly. Thank you!" It's clear that the love which Spears has for so many people is shared for her in return.There was heated competition for this award, with Spears beating Demi Lovato, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake.
Spears made her debut at the People's Choice Award with her new boyfriend, David Lucado, reports E! Online. Spears was looking stunning wearing a skin-tight, sexy Mikael D sparkly long-sleeve minidress with a metallic floral print, for this occasion. Lucado looked good beside Spears wearing a dark suit.

AMC's two groundbreaking, critically acclaimed series Breaking Bad and Mad Men have upped the anti in terms of how great small screen programming can be. Going head-to-head for the last 6 years, Breaking Bad's final season set the bar very high for Mad Men to achieve or surpass in its own 2 installment final season.
The main characters of each show, Walter White and Don Draper of Breaking Bad and Mad Men respectively, are both flawed antiheros who are on a collision course with their demons and the results of their bad decisions.
The final season of Breaking Bad was one of the most lauded in the history of television. Not everyone was happy about how Walt/ Heisenberg met his fate, but most had to admit the episodes were gripping, imaginative and well acted.
The first installment of Mad Men's final season has also risen to the occasion with plot twists and intrigues that brought out the best in some of our favorite characters. Elizabeth Moss as Peggy Olsen just gets better and better, as does John Slattery's Roger Sterling.
The send off for the Bert Cooper character which employed 83 year old Robert Morse's singing and dancing chops impressively retained from his early career on Broadway and films, was an inspired touch.
It remains to be seen if Mad Men's finale will strike a chord with viewers and critics to the extent that Breaking Bad's did, but based on this first half of season 7, Draper and company are off to a good start to the end.

NEW ORLEANS - Poor shooting hampered the Tulane men's basketball team on Wednesday night in the Conference USA opener, falling to UTEP, 66-57, in Devlin Fieldhouse.
The Green Wave (12-4, 0-1 C-USA) hit just 20-of-60 shots from the floor and knocked down 14-of-23 free throws in the first home loss of the season.
UTEP (7-6, 1-0 C-USA,) on the other hand, hit 24-of-48 shots from the floor, including six-of-13 from 3-point range.
"There are just going to be nights when you don't make shots and mentally you have to be tough enough to fight through that," Tulane head coach Ed Conroy said. "But, our defense let us down tonight. UTEP was able to score consistently and we didn't protect the paint like we need too. Our guys have to bounce back and be tougher."
The Miners jumped out to early in the game by scoring the first five points and never trailed. UTEP led 11-2 four minutes in and then built as much as an 11-point lead in the opening half before Tulane was able to chip away and trail by two, 28-26, at the break.
The Green Wave used an 8-2 run to cut a 19-11 UTEP lead down to 21-19, but couldn't manage to ever take the lead.
UTEP scored 18 of the first 23 points in the second half to take a 15-point advantage, 46-31, with 12:55 remaining. It would be the largest lead of the game. Tulane did cut the deficit to within singles digits with just inside four minutes to play, but never got closer than five.
Ricky Tarrant led all scorers in the game with 18 for the Green Wave, while Josh Davis failed to reach double figures for the first time all season with nine to go with nine rebounds. Tre Drye also added nine points and nine boards and Kendall Timmons chipped in with eight points.
Konnor Tucker led UTEP with 14 points, including knocking down four 3-pointers. Julian Washburn added 12 points, while Jacques Streeter had 10 points and six assists, and McKenzie Moore had nine points and nine rebounds.
UTEP managed to win the rebound battle, 38033, but Tulane did pull down 13 on the offensive end that resulted in 10 second chance points. The Green Wave also turned the ball over just five times and collected five steals. UTEP had 11 turnovers that Tulane converted into nine points.
The Green Wave will hit the road Saturday to face SMU in Moody Coliseum at 2 p.m. CT in a C-USA dual.
- Sophomore guard Ricky Tarrant reached double figures in tonight's game with his 18. He now has scored in double figures in 13 games this season and in 37 games in his career.
- Junior forward Josh Davis saw his double figure scoring streak come to an end tonight with nine points. He had scored in double figures in each of the first 15 games.
- Tulane's 10-game home court winning streak was snapped with the loss tonight.

Faster Deployment of GlassFish in Eclipse
By pelegri on Jul 05, 2008
NetBeans and Eclipse both support the GlassFish Server (see other posts at TA: NetBeans and Eclipse). Sun is more invested in NB and the support there has been traditionally better (e.g. see Adam's note) but the Eclipse support is improving too.
Markus reports on two simple ways to Speed-up Deployments into GlassFish from Eclipse. The first involves a workaround using asadmin deploydir to do directory deployment. The other involves selectively turning off Anti-Virus checking. In his case, the combination sped up deployment by 40%.
BTW, Markus had an earlier post worth checking out: GlassFish v2 on Debian or Ubuntu.

Still Working
By user9157252 on Oct 11, 2004
Though you'd never know it by how frequently (or lack of frequency) with which I post to this weblog, I (we) are indeed still working on this project to define a "Next Generation" Thin Client. Of course, there are lots of politics involved, and lots of basic due-diligence and research, which is what we seem to be bogged down in right now. Well, I won't say the research is 'bogging' but the politics sure is. :-)
I'll keep working ... and try to keep posting.

Touted for its high-tech special FX, compelling story, ample hardcore scenes and "just the right splash of good humor," The SEXth Element is sure to capture the interest of sex-starved geeks around the globe.
The DVD also includes a bonus scene with Black Angelika. For a preview, click here.

The Life and Times of Emmanuel Pelaez Nelson Navarro
Published: 31/12/2009 - Filed under: Features » Archive » 2010 » January/February 2010 » Great Reads » Features » Great Reads »
This 22-year political biography of a former Philippine vice-president is instructive because it is not just the story of a life. It is also a recounting of the tumults of post-war Philippine politics. The life and times of Emmanuel Pelaez are set against the backdrop of feudal patronage and the violence woven into the fabric of Philippine society. This book helps explain the periodic outbreaks of violence that have wracked the country, such as in the massacre of close to 60 people in Maguindanao province last November.
Pelaez was a preternaturally talented farm boy from northern Mindanao who did brilliantly in law school, and was catapulted straight into the House of Representatives in 1954 and the Senate and vice-presidency in the decade that followed. He was an idealist and reformist. Pelaez represents what can be described as a "third force" in Philippine politics: he eschewed the feudal practices on one extreme and the radicalism of the Left on the other.
His attempts to bring about a moral and centrist politics based on principle rather than violence, patronage and fraud, were continually challenged. He was roundly defeated in his 1964 bid for the presidency and was the target of an assassination attempt in 1982, after which he famously asked: "What is happening to our country?"
Author and journalist Nelson Navarro deftly weaves together the details of Pelaez's roller-coaster life. This biography chronicles an important chapter of the country's rocky road to democracy. It is also a pleasant read.

Our team of data scientists have not reached Phase 5 of the Data Analytics LifeCycle for measuring innovation at EMC. We will likely be in Phase 4 (running analytic models) for several months. In the interest of finishing up this series, however, I'd like to share my thoughts about preparing for Phase 5.
Phase 5 is labeled as "Communicate Results". Presumably a business user received permission (and resources) to create and execute an Analytic Plan. Before the creation of this plan there was a vague notion, an idea, or a hunch that needed to be proven. Phase 1 represented the beginning stages of scoping the problem, assessing the risks, and defining success. The business value was fuzzy and hard to quantify.
In Phase 5 the results will be communicated. The vague, fuzzy notions of earlier phases should be replaced by quantifiable conclusions. This may seem like a straightforward step (and it can be if the steps are followed diligently). The main takeaway that I learned about Phase 5 can be summarized as follows:
Hypotheses about unlocking value from corporate data were either proven or not. Did we succeed? Did we fail? In Phase 5, the business value imagined before Phase 1 is quantified and presented back to the corporation.
One way to prepare for Phase 5 is to start thinking about this question:
What are the three most significant findings in the observation of the data?
Here are three significant experiences our team has had during this project:
- Early visualizations yield enormous (and actionable) insight. In Phase 3 our global data scientists began exploring the data. Social network analysis visualizations identified Irish Butterflies and Chinese Boundary Spanners. The at-a-glance insight that these graphs revealed led to the immediate operationalization of new processes (which I will describe in Phase 6). Visualizations help immensely (as opposed to staring at the raw data).
- Measuring innovation delivery is difficult. Correlating ideas with successful (or unsuccessful) delivery could not be accomplished with our data sets. As a result we have launched a Longitudinal Study.
- "Knowledge Flight Patterns" can identify global gaps in communication.
I have direct responsibility for the output of dozens of top-notch researchers at our EMC Labs China location. In 2011 some of my Chinese co-workers came up with a graphical visualization of "Knowledge Flight Patterns".
The capture of meeting minutes within my corporation identified boundary spanner Jidong Chen. His lecture on SIGMOD findings (June 2011) was shared with six different countries. The EMC Labs China team wrote software that placed red dots on a map to represent participating innovators (hovering over the red dots reveals the names). The animated yellow dots represent the knowledge being transferred across geographic boundaries (from Jidong to the team). In the above example, the yellow dots represents "Big Data" knowledge.
Jidong's talk is just one entry in our database (which contains records of hundreds of such conversations). If each entry is "animated" in the same fashion, eventually a trans-global grid of knowledge transfer "flights" will be displayed. Different colors can be used for different types of knowledge. When looking at this type of grid, a few insights can emerge:
- Some global locations are the source of a particular kind or class of knowledge
- Some global locations are on the receiving end for a particular kind of knowledge, while some are left out in certain conversations
- Some global locations are more active than others when it comes to knowledge transfer participation.
- Some flight patterns regularly leave (and land) at defined intervals, while some flights are more sporadic.
Communicating this learning in Phase 5 is important. The course that taught me these steps recommends a template to use when entering Phase 5. The template is an excellent stimulus for communication, and ties back directly to the "plea for resources" made before Phase 1.
My mentor and teacher on this topic, EMC's David Dietrich, points out that Data Scientists often don't enjoy going to the effort of messaging their results to different audiences in different ways. To quote Dave:
"Many people who are great at the analytics do not enjoy this story telling or evangelization portion of the project. As a result, they may give it short shrift. Instead, I have come to view these opportunities as a way to (a) fine tune my message and (b) drive change. Sharing a strong message means you have a chance to reach multiple groups and influence behavior if what you are embarking on is worth driving change."
I'm nearing the end of this journey through the six steps. My last post will describe Step 6 (Operationalize). Our team is far from arriving at Step 6, but I will share some changes that we have already introduced as a result of executing the first four steps.

Gentiva Health Services Inc.
) announced an amendment to its senior secured creditagreement i n
order to make the financial agreements more flexible for the fourth
quarter of 2011.
The amendment consists of alteration of the definition of
consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization), whereby all expenses related to Gentiva's cost
realignment and the operating losses of all the branches that are
scheduled to be closed or sold in the last quarter of 2011, will be
added back during the calculation of consolidated EBITDA.
Additionally, the company will now be allowed to maintain its
consolidated leverage ratio at a maximum of $4.75:1 until the end
of 2011, up from $4.50:1 allowed previously. Nonetheless, the
interest rate applicable under the credit facility remains
However, Gentiva will have to pay various fees relating to the
amendment, one of them being a consent fee of 0.25% of term loans
and revolving credit obligations under the credit agreement. The
consent fee will be paid to all lenders who give their consent to
the amendment.
Gentiva is implementing a two-pronged strategy to increase the
flexibility of its financial covenants over the next few years
in an effort to bett er reflect the changed reimbursement
environment. The amendment of the credit facility is the initial
part of the strategy.

Were you inspired by our Amazing Orange mosaic earlier this week? Well, today we are lucky enough to have Lee from Freshly Pieced join us as a guest blogger, and she's bringing a fun & bright project idea for you all (featuring orange, of course).
Have you visited Lee's site yet? She is an amazing quilter, a mother of two, and a graphic designer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She blogs at http://freshlypieced.blogspot.
Please join us in welcoming Lee to the Fat Quarterly blog today.
Hi there, I'm Lee from Freshly Pieced. I'm so excited to be guest blogging for Fat Quarterly today. I've got a fun project for all of you who are trying to beat the winter blahs (I know I am). So how about a pillow with a cheerful, wonky sun? It whips up quickly and easily with a wedge ruler?no paper-piecing or curved piecing required!
Sunshine Pillow: Trying to beat the winter blahs? How about a pillow with a cheerful, wonky little sun? It whips up quickly and easily with a wedge ruler?no paper-piecing required!
You will need:
- a 30-degree wedge ruler, such as the Fat Cats ruler by Darlene Zimmerman
- bright-colored scraps for sun rays and center
- approx. 1/2 yard of light blue solid for background
- approx. 1/8 yard of orange print for border
- 1/2 yard for pillow back
- 18″ pillow form
1. From your bright scraps, cut 12 strips, about 2″ x 6″. No need to be exact?wonkiness is good here! These will be the rays of your sun, so cut them a little wider on top, narrower on the bottom. From your solid blue background fabric, cut 14 strips, 3″ x 6″.
2. Sew the strips together into one long piece, alternating between the light blue solid and the bright scrappy strips. Start and end with a light blue strip. Be sure to alternate the direction of the rays as you sew, so the narrow end is on top, then on the bottom, then on the top, and so on (see photo above). But don't worry about the order of your rays, or whether the finished piece is straight?none of that will matter in the next step!
3. Using your wedge ruler, cut 12 wedges from your pieced strips. To cut your first wedge, center the ruler over one of the rays, with the narrow end of the ruler over the narrow end of the ray, as shown. Again, no need to be exact. To cut the next strip, turn the ruler 180 degrees and center it over the next scrappy ray. When all of your wedges are cut, trim six of the wedges to 4.5″ long, and the other six wedges to 5″ long.
4. From your light blue solid, cut a strip 5″ by about 36″. From that strip, cut 6 more wedge pieces. These wedges will start at the 4″ mark on the ruler and extend to the 9″ mark (see photo).
5. Sew these wedge pieces onto the 4.5″ ray pieces, end to end, to create a complete wedge that is 9″ long.
6. Cut another strip from your light blue solid, this time 4.5″ by about 36″. From that strip, cut another 6 wedge pieces, just as you did in step 4? except that this time, the wedges will start at the 4.5″ mark on the ruler, extending to the 9″ mark. Sew these wedge pieces onto the 5″ ray pieces, end to end, just as you did in step 5. You will now have a total of 12 wedges that are 9″ long.
5. Sew your wedges together into a circle measuring a little more than 20″ across. I sewed the wedges together in groups of three, creating quarter-circles, then sewed the quarters together. Press your seams out.
6. Trim your pieced circle to a 14.5″ square. To do this, fold the circle in half and press, then fold in half again and press. Use these press marks as center points as you square up. You will cut off quite a bit of excess at the sides, but very little at the corners of the square.
7. Cut a 4″ circle from your remaining scraps, and applique it on for the sun's center. There are many ways you could applique your center?I used the method described in this tutorial (http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/?
8. Cut four 2.5″ strips at least 18″ long from your orange border print. Sew a strip onto each side of your sun block.
9. You now have a completed pillow top. I hand-quilted mine using white Perle cotton. I used this tutorial from Cluck Cluck Sew (http://www.cluckclucksew.com/
That's it?enjoy it until the real sun comes out again!

Posted on 11/18/2006 12:29:36 PM PST by FreeKeys
When the Pilgrims landed in 1620, they established a system of communal property. Within three years they had scrapped it, instituting private property instead. Hoover media fellow Tom Bethell tells the story.
There are three configurations of property rights: state, communal, and private property. Within a family, many goods are in effect communally owned. But when the number of communal members exceeds normal family size, as happens in tribes and communes, serious and intractable problems arise.
Thirty years old when he arrived in the New World, Bradford became the second governor of Plymouth ... and the most important figure in the early years of the colony. He recorded in his history the key passage on property relations in Plymouth and the way in which they were changed. His is the only surviving account of these matters.
The colonists hoped that the houses they built would be exempt from the division of wealth at the end of seven years; in addition, they sought two days a week in which to work on their own particular plots (much as collective farmers later had their own private plots in the Soviet Union). The Pilgrims would thereby avoid servitude. But the investors refused to allow these loopholes, undoubtedly worried that if the Pilgrimsthree thousand miles away and beyond the reach of supervisionowned their own houses and plots, the investors would find it difficult to collect their due.
By the spring of 1623, the population of Plymouth can have been no larger than 150. But the colony was still barely able to feed itself, and little cargo was returning for the investors in England. On one occasion newcomers found that there was no bread at all, only fish or a piece of lobster and water. So they began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop than they had done, that they might not still thus languish in misery, Bradford wrote in his key passage on property.
Having tried what Bradford called the common course and conditionthe communal stewardship of the land demanded of them by their investorsBradford reports that the community was afflicted by an unwillingness to work, by confusion and discontent, by a loss of mutual respect, and by a prevailing sense of slavery and injustice. And this among godly and sober men. In short, the experiment was a failure that was endangering the health of the colony.
The problem that inevitably arose was the formidable one of policing this division of labor: How to deal with those who did not pull their weight?
The Pilgrims had encountered the free-rider problem. Under the arrangement of communal property one might reasonably suspect that any additional effort might merely substitute for the lack of industry of others. And these others might well be able-bodied, too, but content to take advantage of the communal ownership by contributing less than their fair share. As we shall see, it is difficult to solve this problem without dividing property into individual or family-sized units. And this was the course of action that William Bradford wisely took.
Bradfords history of the colony records the decision:
At length, after much debate of things, the Governor (with the advice of the chiefest amongst them) gave way that they should set corn every man for his own particular, and in that regard trust to themselves; in all other things to go in the general way as before. And so assigned to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of their number.
So the land they worked was converted into private property, which brought very good success. The colonists immediately became responsible for their own actions (and those of their immediate families), not for the actions of the whole community. Bradford also suggests in his history that more than land was privatized.
The system became self-policing. Knowing that the fruits of his labor would benefit his own family and dependents, the head of each household was given an incentive to work harder. He could know that his additional efforts would help specific people who depended on him. In short, the division of property established a proportion or ratio between act and consequence. Human action is deprived of rationality without it, and work will decline sharply as a result.
Property in Plymouth was further privatized in the years ahead. The housing and later the cattle were assigned to separate families, and provision was made for the inheritance of wealth. The colony flourished. Plymouth Colony was absorbed into the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and in the prosperous years that lay ahead, nothing more was heard of the common course and condition.

|The Real Story Behind Thanksgiving
Did you know that the first [Plymouth Colony Pilgrim's] Thanksgiving was a celebration of the triumph of private property and individual initiative?
William Bradford was the governor of the original Pilgrim colony, founded at Plymouth in 1621. The colony was first organized on a communal basis, as their financiers required. Land was owned in common. The Pilgrims farmed communally, too, following the "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs" precept.
The results were disastrous. Communism didn't work any better 400 years ago than it does today. By 1623, the colony had suffered serious losses. Starvation was imminent.
Bradford realized that the communal system encouraged and rewarded waste and laziness and inefficiency, and destroyed individual initiative. Desperate, he abolished it. He distributed private plots of land among the surviving Pilgrims, encouraging them to plant early and farm as individuals, not collectively.
The results: a bountiful early harvest that saved the colonies. After the harvest, the Pilgrims celebrated with a day of Thanksgiving -- on August 9th.
Unfortunately, William Bradford's diaries -- in which he recorded the failure of the collectivist system and the triumph of private enterprise -- were lost for many years. When Thanksgiving was later made a national holiday, the present November date was chosen. And the lesson the Pilgrims so painfully learned was, alas, not made a part of the holiday.
Happily, Bradford's diaries were later rediscovered. They're available today in paperback. They tell the real story of Thanksgiving -- how private property and individual initiative saved the Pilgrims.
This Thanksgiving season, one of the many things I'm thankful for is our free market system (imperfectly realized as it is). And I'm also grateful that there are increasing numbers of Americans who are learning the importance of free markets, and who are working to replace government coercion with marketplace cooperation here in America and around the world.

Thanksgiving ping
Liar! We stole everything from the Indians, then we gave them noogies and forced them to open casinos.
I lernt it in scrool.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.
Seriously, good post. Most people never hear this stuff.
Granny, a ping for the true meaning of Thanksgiving!
Thanks for the ping. There is little which means so much as declaring, "This is mine." Whether it is one's soul or property being claimed, it connotes one's individuality.
" the real story of Thanksgiving -- how private property and individual initiative saved the Pilgrims..."
" Having tried what Bradford called the common course and conditionthe communal stewardship of the land ...
So the land they worked was converted into private property, which brought very good success.
The colonists immediately became responsible for their own actions ..."
MUST-READ for all Americans--pertains to private property vs. eminent domain/communism etc.
They tried everything. Communism, too, is an American institution.
That's commune-ism, but not as we know it...
The failure that was Pilgrim commune-ism wasn't about world domination by deception and military force.
Capital-C Communism is most definitely NOT an American institution. Of course, it's a failure too but that hasn't stopped those who PROFIT from imposing it from continuing to try imposing it...
Must-see great resource for students, parents and teachers!
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
mark for later
Does anyone know where transcripts of Bradford's diaries themselves might be found? Primary source materials are far more useful in debates than documents that merely cite them.
In the interest of bandwidth, I am posting the link to an excellent article. Kim is very high on my list of superlative writers (Michael Kelly was my #1 favorite, until his death in Iraq) Hmmm, MK, Sowell and Kim Weissman i think would be my top three.
Truly a great thinker and writer. I advise looking up many more of his articles, whatever is left online after Congress Action got taken down.
Even Lenin figured out that it doesn't work.
ping, good read
He wrote a JOURNAL for the family - all in one book. When it was finally found in the late 1800's (in the private library of the Bishop of London) and brought back to Plymouth - it was printed, as Bradford wrote it. (The original is in the Plymouth Hall Museum) I have one of late 1800's edition, titled: "The Bradford History".
Gradually, it became 'lost' again, in that it was out of print for another 50 years or so. It was republished in 1952 and has been in print ever since, available from many sources, including Amazon, both in hard and paperback.
This book IS the source...along with the first book that Bradford and Winslow wrote and sent back to England that first spring to be published as "Mourt's Relations" -
As a descendant of Governor Bradford (7th great-great granddaughter) and many others from the Mayflower, I have spent decades researching their remarkable adventure - and as a writer, have published articles for decades, trying to separate fact from fiction about them. The hardest to educate is the educators. Even this year, magazine, newspaper and TV articles proclaim that they very likely did NOT have turkey that first Thanksgiving - and there are certainly no records of it.
Duh. Only in Bradford's own eye witness account, for one. He wrote about the men going out and getting plentiful fowl, "including wilde turkey" of which they took many.
Now a great grandmother, I had all but given up on the true story of original Pilgrims being told. But I was mighty surprised this week to watch, on the History Channel, an amazingly faithful movie: "Desperate Crossing" - Top notch production, photography, casting. And it follows Bradford's Journal as faithfully as I have ever seen a movie stick to a book. They use the Bradford character as narrator - telling his story, as he wrote it.
If you want the most faithful example yet done of that hardy band of people who, unlike those before and after them, came to this new land in search of a place to live in freedom - not for riches or power - this docudrama is it.
If you want to see a group that felt no compunction to 'convert the heathen savages' but valued them as friends and allies, even admired them, this is the one to see.
It will be shown tomorrow on the History Channel - in my area from 8 in the morning to 11. "Check your local listings" (The DVD can be purchased on the History Channel website.)
Thanks for the reply; I received a link to Brandford's book in FRmail and bought a copy.

Pac-12 Baseball All-Academic Teams
TUCSON, Ariz. - The University of Arizona baseball team placed six student-athletes on the Pac-12 All-Academic teams announced Friday by the league office.
Third baseman Brandon Dixon and right-handed pitcher Mathew Troupe earned second-team accolades. They were joined by left-handed pitcher Augey Bill, outfielder Johnny Field, second baseman Trent Gilbert and catcher Riley Moore, who each received honorable mention recognition.
The academic honor caps a string of honors for Dixon. The junior, who led the Pac-12 in batting, was named to the All-Conference team on Wednesday and hauled in a third-team Louisville Slugger All-American honor on Thursday. Dixon also became the first Wildcat in the modern era to lead the team in batting (.369), home runs (six), runs batted in (51) and stolen bases (30). The Murrieta, Calif., native carries a 3.40 grade point average as a general studies major and was an all-academic honorable mention selection as a sophomore.
The team's leader with nine saves, Troupe posted a 6-0 record with a 3.29 earned run average. A sophomore, Troupe registered 49 strikeouts and held opposing hitters to a .214 batting average over 38.1 innings pitched. The Northridge, Calif., native boasts a 3.56 grade point average as a pre-business major.
For the second time in as many seasons, Bill was tabbed as an honorable mention selection. A top setup arm out of the bullpen, the senior tallied a 4-1 record with two saves and a team-best 1.98 earned run average. A native of Danville, Calif., Bill diligently maintains a 3.02 grade point average as an aerospace engineering major.
Also collecting Pac-12 All-Academic honors for a second year in a row is Field, a member of the All-Conference team announced Wednesday. The junior hit .347 and led the league with 58 runs scored and seven triples during the regular season. A native of Las Vegas, Nev., Field carries a 3.36 grade point average as a general studies major and was a second-team all-academic honoree in 2012.
Making his first appearance on the all-academic teams is Gilbert, a starter in all 55 games this season. The sophomore hit .344 with 45 runs scored and 49 runs batted in, while tying for the team lead with 13 doubles. A native of Torrance, Calif., Gilbert holds a 3.00 grade point average as a business major.
Rounding out the list with his first such honor is Moore, the Wildcats' starting catcher for the last two seasons. The sophomore batted .285 with 34 runs scored, 37 runs batted in and checked in second in the conference with 34 walks drawn. A native of Santa Barbara, Calif., Moore boasts a 3.09 grade point average as a general studies major.
Arizona (34-21) saw its season come to a close last weekend with a sweep of Southern California. The Wildcats were not selected to the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship field of 64 announced Monday.

September Plant of the Month - Purple Hyacinth Bean
For an inexpensive but showy climbing vine nothing brightens up the fall garden like the purple seed pods of the purple hyacinth bean (Lablab purpurea formerly Dolichos lablab).
For an inexpensive but showy climbing vine nothing brightens up the fall garden like the purple seed pods of the purple hyacinth bean (Lablab purpurea formerly Dolichos lablab). The University of Tennessee Gardens has used this annual vine for years for vertical interest, and it never fails to draw questions and admiration.
Purple hyacinth bean is usually sold in seed packs (very economic) and is widely available at garden centers, home improvement centers and mail order catalogs. It is sometimes available as a plant sold in a 3-inch or 4-inch pot. The seeds are very easy to sow directly in the ground or to start in a pot indoors then transplant outside in the spring after the danger of frost has past. Smaller plants seem to transplant better than larger sizes.
This heirloom vine has been grown at Monticello for years and was popular as a standard trellis grower in American gardens for many years. Then, as gardening trends changed, purple hyacinth bean fell out of widespread use. Lately, it has been gaining in popularity again.
Similar in growth habit to scarlet runner beans, the vine produces gorgeous light purple flowers on purple stems in summer. The flowers stay well above the foliage as this showy vine climbs up a supporting structure such as an arbor or trellis. The vine can be a vigorous grower, so the support should be sturdy and at least ten to twelve feet tall as the vine can reach lengths of 15 feet.
As the flowers die, seed begin to be produced in a flat pod, much like a snow pea, that is a brilliant, rich purple color. The seed continue to plump up and the pods to elongate as the season progresses, creating a beautiful display until a frost. The deep purple seed and dark green foliage contrast nicely with fall yellows and oranges. Seed can be harvested and stored for next year's plants.
Purple hyacinth beans are a food and forage crop in some parts of the world, but CAUTION. They must be properly cooked. Raw beans are poisonous. Typically the plant is enjoyed in the west for its ornamental appeal.
Hyacinth bean can be planted in any well-drained soil in full sun. Only moderate fertilization is required and a fertilizer that is high in phosphorous will promote blooming. Purple hyacinth bean often will reseed if the pods open to drop seed, but they are not an aggressively invasive plant.
Purple hyacinth can be a wonderful selection for the arbor, fence, or trellis for its beautiful flowers, showy seed pods and as an attractant to butterflies and bees. Plan now to use this wonderful vine next year.

April 9, 2012
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
After earning its 30th consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships final site last Saturday by winning the Seattle Regional Championship, the Alabama gymnastics team learned on Monday that it will compete in the evening session of the NCAA semifinals on Friday, April 20 in Duluth, Ga. starting at 6 p.m. ET. The team also learned its competition and rotation order.
"I think being in the evening session on Friday works to our advantage," UA head coach Sarah Patterson said. "The excitement and energy that comes from competing at night is electric and will mirror the atmosphere at the SEC Championships."
Alabama is the winner of five NCAA titles, including last year's championship in Cleveland, Ohio. The No. 4 seeded Crimson Tide will face a virtual rematch of last month's Southeastern Conference Championships, which were also held in Duluth, in the evening session of this year's semifinals, taking on No. 1 Florida, No. 5 Georgia and No. 8 Arkansas along with No. 9 Oregon State and No. 12 Ohio State.
The afternoon session, which starts at 12 p.m. ET, features No. 2 UCLA, No. 3 Oklahoma, No. 6 Nebraska, No. 7 Utah, No. 10 Stanford and No. 11 LSU.
"I've always said that one of the benefits of competing in the SEC is that it prepares you so well for the championship season," Patterson said. "With four SEC teams in one session and a fifth in the other session, that's obviously very true again this season."
The seeding is determined by national qualifying score (NQS) which takes each of the 12 teams' regional championship score and regional qualifying score (RQS) and adds them together. Alabama was ranked fourth going into regionals with a 197.245 RQS to which it added a 197.025 regional championship score to come up with a 394.270 NQS.
"We're so excited to be going back to Duluth and have an opportunity to compete for another national championship," Patterson said. "Even after 30 years in a row, the feeling of advancing to the NCAA final site never grows old."
The Tide will start its semifinal session on the balance beam before moving to the first of two byes on the evening. From there, Alabama will move to the floor exercise then the vault. After its second bye of the evening, the Tide will finish on the uneven bars.
"I don't think it matters where we start, we know that we have to do a great job on all four events in order to advance to the Super Six Finals," Patterson said. "The competition is so fierce that no team can afford to have an off event and hope to move on."
Each of the 12 teams competing on Friday will have an all-arounder from a team that didn't advance rotating with them. Boise State's Amy Glass will rotate with Alabama.
Alabama won its NCAA-best 27th regional title to advance to Duluth. The Tide is one of just two teams in collegiate gymnastics history that has advanced to the NCAA Championships final site 30 or more years in a row.
The top-three teams from each semifinal session will advance to the NCAA Super Six Team Finals which will get underway Saturday, April 21 at 4 p.m. ET in the Arena at Gwinnett Place.

About two weeks ago I was gearing up for the 5k Foam Fest in Miami and I'm just now getting around to the race reports, whoops! Busy, busy times.
First things first. I managed to get not one but two! friends to run with me, my long-time concert photography buddy Chris and his girlfriend. This was his second obstacle course race and her first, though she wasn't sure what she was getting herself into and was visibly worried before the race started. This was an untimed race, so there are no official results but we finished in 1 hour, 24 minutes, not all of that was due running/walking, more on that later. Here's a nice post-race shot.
But now to the race itself. The course was easy and quick, we just ran the SuperHERO Scramble Charger course in reverse, so Chris and I were already familiar with it. As I said with the Scramble, I like running in Amelia Earhart Park, it's relatively flat, quick, doesn't have a lot of nasty coral rock everywhere (like Oleta!) and it has about 1,000 switchbacks on the bike trails. The concept of the race — lots of foam, rather than mud — was a fun one and it made some of the obstacles that much more enjoyable. However, that's pretty much where the love story ends. First things first, full disclosure. I was provided with two entry passes for the race in exchange for this review and race feedback. I am greatly appreciative of Chandler and Emily of Round House Racing for their hospitality at the race.
As I understand it, this is a very young race series, only in its second year, so there's always some kinks to work out. Unfortunately, there were a lot of kinks going on here. As soon as I got there, the people manning the registration tables not only seemed unbelievably confused by what they were doing, they looked as bored as humanly possible. My line had three girls in it handing out race packets. One asked my name and marked it off, told the next one to look for my bib, while the third one actually gave me my bib and get my paperwork. Not sure three were needed but they definitely needed an energy shot or something. Past that, the rest of the volunteers looked about as bored as the registration girls, all except those officially affiliated with Roundhouse Racing, who put on the race. All those bored faces don't exactly get you jazzed up to go run around on bounce houses.
Out on the course, things did not fare much better, actually. All of the big, signature obstacles were well-staffed with volunteers, some of whom enjoyed what was going on, most who didn't. It was a really mixed bag of emotions out there, unlike the Spartan Race or Scramble where pretty much everyone is amped up to see people scale walls and slide through endless amounts of mud. The three girls volunteering at the first set of foam slides were very excited to see racers and who wouldn't be? These were MASSIVE foam slides! Those were a lot of fun too, I can't wait to see my GoPro shots from it. The people manning the first bounce house — the first obstacle we got to — were equally as geared up to watch us fly around in foam as we were about doing it. At the mud crawl near the end of the race, there was a small crowd gathered to cheer and talk smack. The volunteers were happy to be there, mostly because they got to laugh at everyone getting zapped on the back by the (mildly) electric wire we crawled under. That was…a surprise, I didn't expect that! Downside to this: the mud smelled, quite literally, of a festering porta-potty. I'm not sure if this was by design or chance, but it definitely made you hurry the hell up.
But that's about all the fun stuff. The only other happy volunteers were those at the end of the race and at the huge Death's Drop tower slides — totally awesome by the way. Although, they were very lax about letting people cut in line at the slide and when you're waiting 20 minutes to scale a 4 story slide, no one likes jackasses going to the front, even less of volunteers that let them cut, willingly. The time we spent at the Death Drop isn't an exaggeration, I timed it. Big, big signature obstacles like these always have long lines typically for safety reasons and this was no different, but about 6 guys got to cut in front of the 20 people in front of me before the volunteer turned the rest of their friends — all two of them — back. But only after a bunch of other people complained, rightly. However, this was how most obstacles ran, unfortunately. On one of the bounce houses, a guy behind me twisted his ankle but there was no volunteer tending to him to make sure he was OK or calling for the Miami-Dade paramedics to come check him out. They were just making sure people weren't crashing through the bounce house which was hiding a floor with holes it in (by design!) so you could bounce around and fall down to the ground — fun but dangerous. Many other obstacles — wall climbs, mud pits — had no volunteers at all. We didn't get to do all of the obstacles listed on the Fest's home page either, which was kind of a bummer, I was looking forward to the lilypad crossing.
So like I said, it's a young series but there's still a lot of room for improvement. Obstacles were spaced too far apart and for a race with eighteen different obstacles, I should have been hitting an obstacle every one-fifth of a mile or so, I think mile 2 had three of four obstacles total (if all obstacles are on the course, there'd be about 6 per mile in a 5k). They need a faster volunteer rotation too, all those long faces are anathema to a racer's energy. I had a lot of fun during the race, thanks to the bounce houses and my friends, but I came out of this race the same way I came out of the Warrior Dash: it was a whole bunch of "meh". Of course, this is just my observation, I saw a TON of people seriously enjoying themselves, my teammates included — Chris's girlfriend ended up having a great time even though the cargo net about gave her a heart attack. Without them, I would have been pretty bored throughout the entire race.
In the end, will I check it out again next year? Eh, I'm not sure. On the one hand, I won't because much of this race felt like it was run on a shoestring budget and didn't have much pizzazz to it (contrasted, the first SuperHERO Scramble was a giant blowout fun party and it was Sean's first race he ever put together). I don't need a party atmosphere, a boisterous DJ, tons of vendors, or anything like that to have fun, just give me a fun course, inventive obstacles and we'll probably be OK. Even though I received media entry passes for the race, running it this year didn't really convince me to run it next year. The guys and gals at RHR would have to change quite a few things to convince me otherwise and just adding more foam or bouncy obstacles won't be enough. Overall, it felt like a mixed bag of a day. I had fun, but it wasn't solely due to the race. I'm hoping the race does improve. With so few untimed obstacle course races out there, everyone's gunning to finish fast and not enjoy the race, but even without the specter of a fast time breathing down my neck, I didn't have much reason to enjoy the course.
Disclosure: Race entry was provided by Round House Racing, who organized the race, in exchange for a race report. I would have written this review even if I had paid for the race, but I am very grateful to the guys at RHR for covering entry.

I have two instances in the same region using the same security group. I want to allow all the instances in this security group to shell into each other. I have added the security group to port 22 thinking that this is the way to do it, but it does not work. Attempts to shell between machines fail.
I want to use the SG because not all of the instances have EIPs so it's not practical to put IPs into the SG.
What am I missing?

I can search for widgets e.g. Twitter but it gives me like 1000 results. I want exactly the one I have on my curren wordpress.com blog.
Any ideas? Thanks

It's been a long time since we first saw a glimpse of Kingdom Hearts 3 and fans have been waiting patiently (note: kicking, screaming), ever since. Square Enix decided to help ease the pain by releasing an HD remastered version of the original game, along with Chain of Memories and 358/2 Days. This "remix" collection, which came out last year, will be receiving a sequel in time for this holiday season. While it may not be the elusive third numbered entry in the series, yesterday's new trailer should be enough to keep fans pumped for more information.
The Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX is set to include the Final Mix versions of Kingdom Hearts II and Birth By Sleep, as well as Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded. Today's trailer showed off a few scenes taking place in the Nightmare Before Christmas section, and the difference in visual quality is immediately noticeable. Jack Skellington, Oogie Boogie and Santa Claus are all present, making this trailer surprisingly appropriate for both the Japanese and North American release dates.
The footage presented in the trailer plays a total of three times, for those who really want to pour over the finer details of this high definition conversion. The first playthrough features both SD and HD versions of the scenes, while the second is completely in HD and the final is a look at the original resolution.
In addition to HD versions of the included games, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX will include new content that will expand upon the series' lore and character backstories. We're still not sure how extensive this new content will be, or whether fans will need to make themselves familiar with it before Kingdom Hearts 3 releases. North American fans can expect to find this title hanging in their stockings on December 2nd, while Japanese players (or those who would rather import a copy), can get it on October 2nd. The 2.5 ReMIX will be available on the PlayStation 3.

The Mid-American Conference announced this week that ESPN3 will carry the UMass and Central Michigan football game next Saturday in Mount Pleasant, Mich. The game is set for a 1 PM kick-off.
