I must admit i've got a knack for relatively newly opened boutique hotels (Tripadvisor - they are definitely not a B&B nor an inn! It's definitely a shame to put them in this category!) and to check out what they are like .....
I'm glad i chose this place and would strongly recommend that The Sterling would be one of your top choices in Melaka if you are into:
- Chic & contemporary rooms
- Free WIFI
- Personalized service to make you feel welcome (plus a welcome drink to boot! the fruit punch was really good!)
- Parking with 24 hr security (we checked on two occasions to see if the security guard was really present and awake and he was!)
- Complimentary 2 bottles of water in our room each day
- Relatively quaint & quieter (compared to staying right at Jonker Walk) but still convenient enough to get there on foot in minutes.
With the hot & humid weather in Melaka, it was absolutely heavenly to come back each day to have an indulgent rainshower with powerful shower jets. It was so massaging on the back and we literally took 3 baths a day because it was just so good! You'll take a few minutes trying to figure it out the whole rainshower system but once you do, ooh la la~~ - the power of a good shower! :)
Definitely a nice touch when we came back on the first night and it was raining. The staff was right at the entrance ensuring he had umbrellas for all of us to ensure we don't get wet. Room service was jiffy when we told them we needed a power point adaptor. It was also a nice touch to provide the morning paper at your door each morning too!
While typical hotels provided breakfast buffets in the morning and The Sterling's breakfast was based on ordering from an ala carte menu, our concerns completely faded away when you realized each set was luxurious & more than what we could finish and having the waiter providing the personalized service of serving your food and refilling both fruit juices and your hot coffee and tea always was even better! In addition, it was a nice touch to have Tony, the resident manager coming down to chat with us on both breakfast days & to find out our feedback of this newly opened hotel.
If i really had to state some points i hope to see improve--
1) Check-in was considered much slower than expected, considering when we found out we were the only 2 rooms booked on that very day. Considering that they immediately welcomed us to say our rooms were ready (although we arrived 2 hours before check-in time...) then we definitely did not expect that even with 2 staff at the front counter, it would take us almost half an hour at the front (with 10 mins alone figuring out how to key in the charge machine).Checkout was a breeze though with Tony helping us!
2) Sprucing up the front lobby.... (the front facade is really lovely architecture but walking towards the front reception...it was quite plain looking both on the wall and the counter itself. Just plain brown. Some nice chillout background music playing would be good too, especially to reduce the impatience of checking in since we were already so tired from our 3 hr road drive there)
3) I hope that with more people knowing about this place and staying here, i hope they can consider a private "The Sterling" trishaw so that for the less abled to walk... they can enjoy a quick free shuttle to the Christ Church Melaka / Jonker area. Although it is minutes to reach these attractions, unfortunately there are not enough pavements on the streets on Melaka to walk freely and easily without keeping your watchful eye from the continuous vehicle traffic. Great branding for 'The Sterling' too when other tourists staying at other hotels see this trishaw with its brand name too i'm sure!
4) Sprucing up the tea selection in the rooms. As a sole tea drinker (no coffee for me!)... it seemed odd to only have jasmine green tea as the only option.
5) Last but not least, do consider having a soap dish or something to put the bar soap that you have provided. After washing our hands and using the soap, when you can only put the bar soap on the glass counter (since the sink is rounded)... the wet soap & the water slowly starts dripping off the glass counter. P.S (also, the bathroom door was not able to lock properly)
All in all, it was a beautiful stay. Comfy beds, sufficient TV channels to watch, sufficient power points, strong WIFI connection, availability of connecting rooms for family.
Choose this place for a cosy intimate feel, nestled away from the hustle & bustle of the street noise yet near to the action when you want to walk over. Its touch of class doesn't just stop at its grand architecture, each of the staff tries their best to embody these values too. Thumbs up and i wish them every success in this new boutique hotel i was glad to call 'home' for 3 days 2 nights.

Objective. We examine racial differences in support for same-sex marriage, and test whether the emerging black-white gap is a function of religiosity. We explore how religious factors play a crucial role in racial differences, and how secular factors have varying effects on attitudes for whites and African Americans.
Methods. Using data from the General Social Surveys, we estimate ordinal logistic regression models and stacked structural equation models.
Results. We show that the racial divide is a function of African Americans' ties to sectarian Protestant religious denominations and high rates of church attendance. We also show racial differences in the influence of education and political values on opposition to same sex marriage.
Conclusions. Religious factors are a source of racial differences in support for same-sex marriage, and secular influences play less of a role in structuring African Americans' beliefs about same-sex marriage.

why are you guys surprised they're covering this? I'm more surprised they're dissing its wackness rather than supporting it like they do with Young Money and Odd Future….

The White House and Congress both are expected to renew the fight against cyber attackers.
Editor's Note: During the State of the Union address, delivered several hours after this story was published, President Barack Obama announced he had signed the executive order earlier on Feb. 12. Read the order and the accompanying Presidential Policy Directive.
The White House is finally set to issue a long-awaited executive order that seeks to secure U.S. critical infrastructure against cyberattacks.
The order is expected to be discussed in a news briefing scheduled for the morning of Feb. 13 at the Commerce Department in Washington. Gen. Keith Alexander, commander of U.S. Cyber Command and director of the National Security Agency, is slated to to discuss cyber policy alongside Michael Daniel, special assistant to the president and White House cybersecurity coordinator, and top officials from the Commerce, Justice and Homeland Security departments.
Among the likely provisions in the executive order will be voluntary cybersecurity standards and best practices created at least in part by the government for companies operating critical infrastructure, such as water and electric utilities.
It is also expected that the order will boost the role of DHS and the National Institute of Standards and Technology and accelerate collaboration between industry and government, according to one insider.
"NIST will likely be asked to develop a cybersecurity framework," said Harriet Pearson, a partner in Hogan Lovells' privacy and information management practice. "A NIST cybersecurity framework would likely become an industry standard, but companies will be wary of check-the-box compliance efforts."
The move comes after Congress failed to pass a cybersecurity bill last fall; since then, officials have deemed the issue too important not to address.
Many federal leaders have also continued to urge Congress to tackle cyber legislation this year, noting that an executive order can only go so far.
It "can't do a few things only legislation can do, such as liability protection for companies when they are sharing information," Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in September. "An executive order will help, but we still need comprehensive cyber legislation."
Many hope the order will spur action on Capitol Hill. Already, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersburger (D-Md.), the committee's ranking member, plan to reintroduce the controversial Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act on Feb. 13, according to a statement from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. CISPA passed the House but then died last year.
It remains to be seen what type of cyber legislation will be brought forward this year, but the White House measure might help, as could mounting international pressures, Pearson said.
"The executive order on its own, depending on what it does, will help to organize the activities of the federal government and increase momentum because of the force it has to prompt government action," Pearson said. She also pointed out that the "European Commission last week proposed a sweeping cybersecurity directive, showing that the push for regulation in this area extends well beyond Washington."

U.S. Midwest Farmland Values Rose 14% in Third Quarter, Fed Says
Farmland values in the U.S. Midwest rose 14 percent in the third quarter from a year earlier as crop yields recovered from the 2012 drought, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago said.
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin may harvest 38 percent more corn than in 2012, and soybean output may be 8.5 percent higher, the Fed said today in a report, citing U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts. Land values rose 1 percent from the second quarter.
"Better-than-expected crop yields for the District may have contributed to the momentum of rising farmland values," David Oppedahl, a senior business economist at the bank, said in the quarterly report, referring to the Fed's Seventh District of five Midwestern states. "However, in areas affected by back-to-back droughts, the loss of revenue from declines in crop prices and yields may have constrained farmland value gains."
Seventy-five percent of the 195 bankers surveyed forecast stable farmland prices in the fourth quarter, while 21 percent project lower values. Four percent projected higher prices.
Farmland values in Iowa, the biggest U.S. producer of corn and soybeans, rose 9 percent from a year earlier, the smallest gain among the five states. Iowa's land values fell 1 percent from the previous quarter, the only decline in the district, as drought conditions tempered gains, according to the report.
Indiana farmland rose 18 percent from a year earlier. That marked the biggest increase in the district.
Incomes for crop farmers are expected to drop this fall and winter from a year earlier, according to 73 percent of survey respondents, while 37 percent project higher earnings for cattle and hog producers, the report said.

Listen up, nerds! Tina Fey may trade in her stained, off-brand Snuggie and Liz Lemon-glasses for a bit of serious drama.
Vulture reports that the actress is a "cat's breath" (whatever that means; also, ew) from joining Paul Weitz's ("About a Boy") "Admission," the big-screen adaptation of Jean Hanff Korelitz's novel. And! She might be joined by goofball-cum-relative straight man, Owen Wilson.
Written by drama vet Karen Croner ("One True Thing"), "Admission" sounds like a less-gritty "Notes on a Scandal." Fey would play an Ivy League admissions person whose interactions with a 17-year-old student begins to affect her personal and professional life. (Wait, wasn't there a "30 Rock" episode about that? He like, lived with his mom?) Wilson, apparently, would play an (age-appropriate!) neighboring teacher who falls for Fey.
Hopefully, Wilson's character is a more like Floyd (Floydster!) than Criss.

I would like to write a function that is given an unsigned integer as an input argument and returns the next highest number that can be factored into prime numbers {2, 3, 5, 7}. Here is a short code snippet showing what I want to do.
unsigned int getHigherNumber(unsigned int x)
// obtain the next highest number that can be factored into
// prime numbers (2, 3, 5, and 7)
if (~(x % 2 || x % 3 || x % 5 || x % 7))
return x;
// ???
} // end
The purpose of this function is to find the number of zeros that an array should be padded with to ensure that algorithms such as FFTW (link) can run in an efficient manner. The given link discusses that the algorithm is optimal for an input of a length that can be factored into small primes.
As suggested in the comments to this question, if the FFTW algorithm is to be optimal, it appears that only numbers of the form 2^a * 3^b * 5^c * 7^d are allowed.

From the last earnings call, revenue from milestones alone will be $45 million, plus approximately$35 million in Adectris sales for the quarter, plus collaboration $. Revenue should be in the $100+ million range, almost double analysts unadjusted expectations, despite the CFO hinting the following in the previous earnings call. Look for a blowout, as the number to beat is approximately $57 million:
"The fourth quarter of this will be particularly strong from a cash generation perspective. We expect to receive more than $100 million during the quarter which includes the $25 million Abbott collaboration payment, $25 million in approval milestone payments from Millennium, anticipated collections from ADCETRIS sales and other collaboration payments.
Fourth quarter collaboration revenues will reflect approximately $7.7 million related to the European approval milestones from Millennium and we will begin to amortize the $25 million Abbott payment over the two-year development term of the expanded collaboration...."
Sentiment: Strong Buy
when do they report ? Been look at AVEO.
Sentiment: Hold

Foreign Body, Ear Topic Guide
Foreign Body, Ear: Getting an object lodged in the ear is a common problem -- especially among toddlers. Pain or bleeding are the most common symptoms. Though a foreign body in the ear is seldom a serious condition, the object should be removed as soon as possible, preferably by a doctor.
Must Read Articles:
Earwax Earwax, or cerumen, is a substance produced by the glands in the outer ear. Earwax has a purpose, and that is to trap dust and other small particles and prevent them from potentially damaging the eardrum. Causes of earwax buildup include using Q tips or other objects to remove earwax. Symptoms of earwax buildup include decreased hearing, a fullness or plugged feeling in the ear, ear pain, dizziness, or ringing in the ear. Medication (drops) and earwax removal by your healthcare provider are treatments for earwax buildup.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
An interesting thing popped up in my morning stroll through RSS feeds of interesting sites: artist Bart Sears is doing his first sketchbook. Titled Odds-n-Ends, the book promises 52 pages "crammed with sketches, drawings, designs" including many unpublished works. It's an interesting piece from an interesting, and largely overlooked, comic artist.
Sears is a unique figure in comics. He's worked in most every corner of the comics industry, from Justice League Europe to Todd McFarlane's Violator, and was even the art director at CrossGen for a time. Many fans probably remember him for his instructive art column "Brutes & Babes," in Wizard magazine. In the past few years, Sears has worked largely outside of comics, as an in-house concept artist for video game developer Heatwave Interactive. The few comics he has done recently were published by Dark Horse: a miniseries titled The Helm and a two-issue Conan series with fellow CrossGen alum Ron Marz.
Sears's art style is like a dynamic mind-meld of the sinewy style of Barry Windsor-Smith crossed with the muscled men and women of Boris Vallejo. His work goes to the root of power-fantasy, making him hyper-specialized so that only certain kinds of books would fit his work. I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel, DC or another publisher someday finds that right book that shows off Sears' work to its fullest. This sketchbook offers a unique glimpse at what the artist himself might want to draw, and might give some ideas for readers and comics staffers as to where Sears could fit.
Wait, so this is Bart Sears drawing full-body shots and pinups of characters without paying attention to any kind of script or storytelling.
How, exactly, does this differ from a published Bart Sears comic?
Not a fan then, Dave? Anyway Bart's stuff is dynamic and stylized. It's not always been paired with appropriate scripts but to be honest I'm getting bored with the current crop of realistic artists and would love to see him back on some mainstream stuff.
Always a fan of Sears. Looking forward to checking out this sketchbook.
And for $10 extra Bart adds an original headshot drawing? Loved him since JLE introduced me to his work. Good stuff.
David's point doesn't really have to do with whether one likes Sears style or not, Paul. I myself enjoy his work stylistically, however towards the end of his mainstream comics career Sears basically ignored his writers script, and drew what he wanted to. This was made even worse by Sears seemingly abandoning any notion or want to tell a story with his art, and led to pages of pinups put next to, or even sometimes over, panels that themselves were only loosely connected, if at all.
While Bart Sears best work was never composed of brilliant story telling and panel to panel flow, he certainly had a grasp on it. Towards the end, he just seemed to have lost any interest in it, he was just drawing the characters in the script, not the script.
Concept artist is probably a better position for Bart, and likely more rewarding for him. Bart was always an excellent cover artist, a great splash page guy, and very imaginative, all skills that lend themselves quite well to coming up with inspiring concept art.
I have one of the Justice League Europe issues he worked on, #3. Don't forget, this is the guy who co-created one of the X-Men's longtime villains, Apocalypse.
That's incorrect. Bart Sears had absolutely nothing to do with Apocalypse. That honor goes to Walt & Louise Simonson who introduced Apocalypse in X-Factor #3.
It seems odd to me that folks are having a go at Bart's storytelling ability. I assume that the cases mentioned are refering to Captain America and The Falcon? That is the one that is always pointed out. In this instance, Bart was handed a script that was adhered to very strictly at the drawing board. Some people may not like what he did, others will like it, but Bart can hardly be blamed for doing what the script asked of him.
It will interest some of you to know that Bart considers storytelling and page flow very important, vitally important. I would suggest checking out his recent Deadlands OS to see what I mean.
And yes, Bart did not co-create Apocalypse. He draws a mean one though.
Christopher Priest would disagree that Bart followed the script, and Priest might know, because he wrote it.
Sears Warlord was also a mess, and his later Turok work was as well.
Priest can disagree all he wishes, but the printed word does not lie! I've actually read those original scripts and I can't see how Bart could have done things any different. As for Warlord, I'll agree that it is not my favourite work of his, but I think it's a case of him trying out something different, which happens so little with comic artists these days, and Bart should not be condemned for trying to mix things up, I feel. And Turok, the later work he did for that (remembering that he only did a handful of comics with that character), Bart only provided breakdowns for it, with finishes by Sean Chen.
Stylized? Certainly, but after a while it hurts my eyes. Seriously, when did comic heroes grow all those extra muscles? Dynamic? Websters defines dynamic as: 'of or relating to physical force or energy'. That's a purely subjective way to describe his work as a fan, and Jay is most certainly a fan.
I just wish that for the sake of the comic world someone would travel back in time and give the guy a copy of Gray's Anatomy.
Bart has always held the belief that when drawing superheroes, one should make them larger than life and have them look dynamic and powerful. I see no problem with that. And it isn't as if he draws every character with rippling muscles. That wouldn't work. But if you look at Bart's work, you'll see that he plays close attention to varied mass and proportion through different characters.
As for Gray's Anatomy… Bart has obviously studied the human form extensively. He even has a blurb on a recent edition of a Hogarth anatomy book. I always say that Bart exagerates anatomy, he doesn't invent it. I feel that is true. I have never come across a muscle drawn by Bart that doesn't exist in reality. He may push its size and mass to the extreme, but the muscle exists on every body.
I also don't think Bart is solely reponsible for the charge of drawing superheroes with ample muscle. Whilst the 90's were certainly the era of muscular heroes, there are plenty still to be seen. Jim Lee, David Finch (a proclaimed follower of Bart's teachings), the list goes on. These are heroic comics these guys draw. I say meake 'em look heroic.
I think it all comes down to style. Bart has, for decades, drawn heroic anatomy in a style of his own, but if you look at bodybuilders and even moderately toned people, you'll se that Bart is far more realistic than most artists, especially people like Jim Lee, who's figures are rather weak, once looked at anatomically.
But everybody has a right to either like or dislike his, or any other artist's, work.

Probably not, unless FICO saw any card at 100% or more as maxed. If util is listed as a top one or two neg. item on the FICO report, and if someone with 99% has a solid mix of credit (3 or more CCs), then that person probably won't see any gains until the card hits below 50%, and will rapidly see increases below that threshold, especially below 20%-30%.

4A high school football preview: Sky View at Timpview
Bobcats, T'Birds set for rematch in 4A quarterfinals
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
PROVO — In regards to a football season, Sky View and Timpview played when dinosaurs roamed.
In the first week, the Bobcats nearly shocked the state before the Thunderbirds scored 13-straight points and survived 34-28 on their home turf. Now, 11 weeks removed, the two meet again Friday at 3:30 p.m. in the 4A quarterfinals at Timpview.
"Well for one, it's a playoff game and the stakes are a little higher," Sky View coach Craig Anhder said. "We had a good outing on our first trip and our kids have been eager for an opportunity for another chance to play Timpview."
"I'd assume that they've gotten better at what they do — it looks like it from the film," Timpview coach Cary Whittingham added. "So, maybe both sides got a little more polished. We've made a few personnel changes and we think they're working out pretty well for us."
The specific change Whittingham referred to is Britain Covey's insertion as the starting quarterback. In the first meeting, Isaiah Holloway handled the offense and threw for 261 yards and four touchdowns on 15 of 19 attempts. Covey, on the other hand, caught eight balls for 103 yard and a score at receiver. But after Holloway suffered an injury the following week, Covey led the T-Birds (10-1) over Alta with 256 total offensive yards and four touchdowns.
"We expect for him to continue what he's been doing since he's been put in, and Isaiah is giving us a whole lot at receiver and corner. Those changes have worked out well for us."
Since the switch became solidified, Covey has thrown for 1,316 yards and 21 touchdown while adding 928 yards and 13 scores with his feet.
"We have to contain him in the pocket," Sky View coach Craig Anhder said. "We cannot let him get out and run around. He's very athletic, he runs the ball very well and we've got to try and mix up the defenses a little bit, so he's confused in what he's seeing."
The Bobcats (9-2) are also led by a mobile quarterback — Braxton Godderidge. He's thrown for 2,704 yards and 29 touchdowns along with 414 yards and eight scores on the ground. He's complemented by Dane Anderson in the backfield and Logan Miller on the outskirts.
Whittingham said that playing a team for the second time in the playoffs heightens awareness.
"The one thing I'd say is it helps kids understand that we've got our hands full with Sky View. We were fortunate to come out on the winning end on that one, and so the kids absolutely understand that they can't take Sky View lightly because they know they're a good team," he said. "As opposed to having a team that you've never played, and after having an awesome win like we did last week — the kids have one of those trap games. I think they will be ready for this one knowing they've got their work cut out for them."
Coupled with an underdog mentality that he says his team has felt "all year," Anhder believes the biggest tool the Bobcats have at their disposal can't be measured.
"Our kids have great heart," he said. "This group of kids, they've worked very hard and they're very committed. They want to continue to play football, and that's a huge strength. We're going to take that and go out and play the very best game we possibly can."
Sky View statistical breakdown
Scoring offense: 41.6 ppg (2nd in 4A)
Scoring defense: 19.4 ppg (8th in 4A)
Passing leader: Braxton Godderidge (185-277, 66.8%, 2,704 yards, 29 TDs)

Google News accidentally makes Pope look like an Allman Brother on acid.
Feb 11, 2013 @ 11:21am
That's how he looks on the inside now that he's saying goodbye to this nightmare gig.
Sometimes Google's all-knowing content--regurgitating robot get things mixed up. Such as this morning when, instead of grabbing a photo of the pope for the big "Pope Says Take This Job And Shove It" news topic, it grabbed the photo of a blogger who appears to have stepped out of a time machine from a 1978 coke party in Laurel Canyon. Centrist news blog The Moderate Voice apparently likes to lead their stories with a giant photo of the freelance blogger who authored each article, which is nice for them, but after this morning it might guarantee that they won't see another of their articles as the featured story on Google News any time soon.

The Girls Club of Alachua County
United Way cut nearly seventy-five percent of The Girls Club funding this year which adds up to fifty-two thousand dollars that they will have to find somewhere else. This means the athletic and after-school programs have no funding at the moment.
The Girls Club says they'll do everything possible to keep all programs and services in tact and operating normally.
United Way leaders say funding decisions come down to helping the most people at the lowest cost. People from United Way say it's a tough job deciding who gets their money.
"...What programs are applying this year, how many dollars do we have available, what programs will have the greatest impact and greatest need, and certainly that can ebb and flow from year to year," said Karen Bricklemyer, CEO of United Way.
Organizers of The Girls Club say they are very grateful to still be partners with United Way. They're confident that they'll have the support of the community behind them to make up the deficit.

text: Posted June 19, 2014 and you would be inconclusive in your proposal. gas impacts trucks. which effects moving goods to and fro. it effects jobs. it effects trips out. stuff bought. costs of delivery for a business. and on and on. min wage workers, at the moment, typically go no higher than the 15% tax bracket. like i mentioned, the multiplier impact of low gas prices is further reaching than just a wage increase, while not in of itself bad, has the same broad impact. the min wage increase to the point where it's this taxable windfall is not good reality. transversely, even if there was increased revenues(if you want to call it that) were to come from min wage increase, you again take money out of the individual's hands and give it to the govt who are magically going to spend it wisely, yet weren't spending wisely to begin with, otherwise those on min wage, umm....would be making more to begin with. whereas lower gas prices, is an immediate, real time financial shot in the arm. not just to the individual, but for immediate circulation of funds into a service based economy which as we know, spending money oddly enough is best for a recession. some even argue an increase in min wage could do an effective tax rate increase that is pretty sharp. not technically apples and apples here but i'm looking solely macro and money supply vs recession and buying power at the individual level that not only increases CP(and consumer confidence)I but does go back to GDP. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Made me swoon...or maybe that was from turning too many pirouettes around the kitchen floor. (Subbed large chicken breasts--top notch marinade.) Made for P-A-R-T-Y tag.
Awesome flavor for a turkey breast. The second time I made this I made some changes to make preparation quicker. I use a lot of chipotle paste. You can make the paste by pureeing a can of chipotles in adobo until it is smooth. Put it in a small glass jar and refrigerate. I rubbed this on my turkey breast and cooked it on low in the crockpot, about 8 hours. I served this with a creamy mac & cheese and tossed salad. The turkey turns out very flavorful, moist and tender.
I made this about a year ago, and I must have forgotten to review it. I had some turkey breasts that were on sale, and I was trying to find something different to do with them. This was perfect! We love chipotle anything, and this was no exception. The rub was the perfect touch for the typically blah turkey breast. We don't have an outdoor barbecue grill, so I just did this in the oven. I didn't even get to make sandwiches out of the leftovers, because there weren't any! The guys ate all my turkey the day I made it. I'll be using this again. Thanks for posting!
I was just about to post this recipe when I found yours already listed. I saw this recipe on the www.lifescript.com website and thought that it sounded yummy! Thanks for taking the time to post this.

Bart Scott told an entertaining tale about how the New York Jets arrived in his driveway shortly after midnight Friday morning.
Scott's two German shepherds were barking their heads off at the impromptu visit, but it was their master who delivered the rabid comments upon signing with the Jets. The linebacker spoke about how vicious the defense would be. You could almost see the saliva dripping from his fangs.
Less dramatic were a pair of other Jets defensive acquisitions. They might, however, turn out to be the most impactful.
The Jets, anxious to revamp a pass defense that was among the most awful in the NFL last season, have added a pair of newcomers to a secondary that already featured two terrific defenders.
"I love what I see at every position," said ESPN analyst Darren Woodson, a five-time Pro Bowler at strong safety for the Dallas Cowboys. "You got four guys that can match up with anybody across the league."
New head coach Rex Ryan is implementing radical change to the defense's philosophy, and improving the secondary was critical to the process.
The Jets traded for two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Lito Sheppard and signed free agent safety Jim Leonhard to bolster a pass defense that should have performed much better than it did last year.
Left cornerback Darrelle Revis went to his first Pro Bowl last season, and safety Kerry Rhodes is wildly talented.
The rest of the Jets' secondary was sloppy and inconsistent. As a result, the Jets ranked 29th in pass defense despite a pass rush that produced the seventh-most sacks.
The Jets allowed 234.5 passing yards per game. They also gave up 23 touchdown strikes. Only seven teams gave up more.
But the entire defensive paradigm has changed since the Jets fired Eric Mangini and hired Ryan, mastermind of the Baltimore Ravens' formidable defense.
"I know their sack numbers weren't bad last year, but they weren't a consistent pass-rushing team," Scouts Inc. analyst Matt Williamson said. "If you're a 3-4 defense and not bringing those edge guys consistently, you're not doing what that defense is designed to do.
"As the season went on, they were predictable. Everyone knew where the pressure was coming from. They played a lot more coverage instead of coming after quarterbacks. That was crucial mistake. It won't be now.
"The last coaching staff put too much stress on a bad secondary, whereas this coaching staff is going to play to the secondary's strength, and the secondary's stronger."
Woodson foresees a secondary that should be exhilarating to watch.
The Jets recorded 13 interceptions last year. The Ravens came up with a league-leading 26 and returned five of them for touchdowns.
Sheppard has 18 career interceptions. Leonhard, in his first season as a starter, had one interception, which he returned for a touchdown. He added another one -- and two fumble recoveries -- in the playoffs.
"Rex Ryan wants that certain type of attitude from his guys where they're not afraid to take chances," Woodson said. "When you bring in a guy like a Leonhard and a Sheppard, he's telling you 'I want my guys to be ball hawks.'
"He's got the right guys now at every position. Guys are going to be aggressive and go after the ball. He'll tell them 'Get loose and make a play for me.'"
Before we start floating comparisons to the 1989 Kansas City Chiefs, the Jets' secondary does come with several questions.
Sheppard's coverage skills have been knocked. Some consider Leonhard a byproduct of his supporting cast in Baltimore. Rhodes is coming off a year that wasn't as good as 2007.
Sheppard has struggled in recent years to remain in the Philadelphia Eagles' starting lineup. He was their fourth cornerback at times.
KC Joyner, known as The Football Scientist for his unique statistical computations, was appalled when reviewing Sheppard's numbers.
Joyner's data shows opponents threw at Sheppard, who played limited snaps, 32 times last year, and 24 of those attempts resulted in a completion or defensive pass interference. Joyner noted a per-attempt average of higher than 10 yards is poor. Sheppard's average was 13.0 yards.
Joyner predicted Sheppard will face
40 passes by the end of Week 3.
By comparison, the intimidating Revis was thrown at only 65 times last year. Only 30 were completed or flagged, giving him a per-attempt average of 5.2 yards. That's lockdown quality.
Both Williamson and Woodson see four parts that will mesh together well and compensate for any shortcomings.
"Sheppard has been a hard guy to count on like he used to be, and he's not creating the big plays he once did," Williamson said. "But the nice situation here is, because Revis is so strong, they're going to be able to consistently roll coverage to help out Sheppard."
That's where Leonhard comes in. Williamson called him "Ed Reed Light" to describe how Ryan likely will use him.
"Leonhard deferred to Reed," Williamson said. "But Leonhard's skill set is more of a free safety. He runs well. He isn't real, real big. You don't want him in the box, but that's what Kerry Rhodes does well.
"So the secondary now pans out pretty well, where guys' weaknesses can be covered by their counter-position's strength."
Rhodes could have a monster season under Ryan's aggressive guidance. Woodson was dismayed by the way Mangini restrained Rhodes from getting involved.
Rhodes recorded seven sacks, nine interceptions and five forced fumbles in 2006 and 2007. He had one sack, two interceptions and zero forced fumbles last season.
"I guarantee you, Rex Ryan is going to free him up so he can showcase his talent," Woodson said. "It's fun watching Kerry Rhodes play because he has so much talent, but the guy should be making a lot more plays than he has been making."
Second-year cornerback Dwight Lowery also could be a significant contributor. Lowery, a fourth-round draft choice out of San Jose State, started the first 10 games before falling out of favor with Mangini.
The Jets were so desperate when they gave up on Lowery that they signed veteran Ty Law in November. Law didn't attend training camp with anyone and had been unattached. As soon as the season was over, he returned to unemployment.
Joyner noted Lowery's stats were respectable. With Revis on the other side, teams threw at the rookie 82 times. Among all NFL cornerbacks, that was tied for the 17th-most passes faced. Lowery allowed 51 completions or penalties for a 7.1-yard average per attempt.
"It is about the unit, not just about the secondary," Ryan said on a recent conference call before the Sheppard trade and Leonhard signings were official. "It's how they play collectively, all 11 guys.
"I'm excited about this group. I think this group here has some special talent when you talk about a Revis, when you talk about a Kerry Rhodes and young corner in Lowery. I think it has a chance to be special group.
"You can't get an interception without a pass rush. You can't get a sack without great coverage. But I think the whole unit will complement each other with the strengths of every guy that we have, and I think we are going to be pretty special back there."

I see it all the time. I even take advantage of it. Some businesses have too many discount sales and special offers — in fact it can seem like a permanent sale. I call this the DFS effect.
But what happens? No-one buys at full price.
Now it is, of course, very tempting to drop your prices when you have stock to move, and I am not suggesting that you don't ever have sales, just don't have them all the time.
If every email you're sending out to your list is just what's on sale, or that you've knocked so-and-so-many per cent off "this weekend only", and if you send them often enough, it's not going to take long to wipe out all your full price sales.
There is a certain children's mail order company that I often use to buy things for my small people and I know that I only have to hang on for another week or so every time I want to buy something and sure enough a discount voucher will plop onto the doormat through the post. I am regular customer and so I know I don't have to wait long. Now what's silly about this is that yes I do buy when I get my discount voucher, but the business has lost my momentum, and also the cash I was ready to part with "on the spot".
Now for a big mail order catalogue, or a large chain of furniture stores (ahem!) the continuous offers and discounting is part of a major marketing plan, but if you're a small business you don't always have the luxury of bigger margins and a constant flow of orders. If you're a smaller business you value every sale, and all of those that are not at full price just mean you have to work harder or sell more (or both!). You also then set a precedent that your prices are not "real" but "inflated" (yes I know those DFS sofas were on sale somewhere for a week at £1500 but no-one was buying them, right?).
So stick by your guns and don't be on sale all the time. Think about value-added offers instead, or extras you can include. Once you lower your prices (which is effectively what you do when you're always on sale) it's really hard to push them back up again to the same customers. Then you're left with either finding new customers, or accepting that you'll only ever be able to sell for less.
And don't even think about offering five years interest free credit if you're a small business either! Money up front thank you very much.

Phone and email for new business generation are still at the heart of all new business marketing programmes when reaching out to an audience; however social media is playing a growing part in these strategies.
Neilson research reveals that social networks are now more popular than email. And yourBusinessChannel highlights this well in their online video: The world has changed (for business).
Here are a few suggestions showing how you can widen your reach to be noticed, to persuade your audience, engage them and stand out from the crowd.
Join discussion groups — those your key targets are part of and active in. Get involved and offer your expertise, help solve their problems.
Follow key targets, including a sample of their targets, to get a feel for trends, issues, challenges and popular topics being discussed.
Independent expert status will deliver a deeper level of trust. Get involved with forums that will be most valuable to you and share relevant content across these platforms.
Have a close look at media in your sector, the angle taken, your targets' positioning and the audience they are reaching out to.
Attend all key industry events and engage with your target audience. What are your targets showcasing, how strong and professional is their positioning, collateral, understanding of their audience?
You're an expert. Share your knowledge and industry opinions.
Attend carefully chosen conferences and seminars, consider speaking at them, particularly those that are the benchmark for your specialism.

Week 5 of Dragons' Den signals the halfway mark in the current series.
If you missed last week's, catch up here and below you will find the highlights of episode five.
Quote of the Episode: "I never used to use salt until three years ago. Then I discovered rock salt" Duncan Bannatyne
Idea 1
Product: Black Nut Iberian Pig Feed - Manufacture of pig feed for rare species of pig
Investment sought: £100,000 for 20 per cent
Handling: Handled questions well but his answers were his undoing. Pitched as 'Organic' when it was not.
Outcome: No investment.
Verdict: Beyond the bizarre idea, this is also a weak business plan and more of a whim.
Idea 2
Product: Tree of Knowledge - Educational play resources
Investment sought: £100,000 for 10 per cent
Handling: Educational products often do well in the Den. Nice genuine and down-to-earth pitch but didn't do enough to convince more than one Dragon wholeheartedly to invest.
Outcome: Peter Jones offered £50,000 for 20 per cent. No Dragon would match his offer and Dragons' Den rules require full value to be met for an investment.
Verdict: Good pitch but fell just short of being a 'Wow' product.
Idea 3
Product: Zigo - A combined buggy and bike invention
Investment sought: £225,000 for 6 per cent
Handling: Theo was shocked by the valuation of the business. The owners said this was due to the $400,000 invested into the business three years previously and further questioning revealed the Dragons' investment would be to cover a loss this financial year.
Outcome: No investment.
Verdict: Peter Jones saw the bigger picture. The product design, although aesthetically pleasing, was not practical.
Idea 4
Product: WedgeWelly - Stylish wellies with heels for festivals
Investment sought: £65,000 for 20 per cent
Handling: Name-dropped a few high street retailers and high-end fashion names to lure the Dragons. A weak grasp of their figures and need some astute business direction but they have a great product.
Outcome: James Caan offered the full asking price. Deborah offered the full amount but sought an additional 30 per cent. Theo offered the same and on the same terms as Deborah. WedgeWelly went for their Dragon of choice over retaining company stake: in the end they negotiated hard to get Theo down to 22.5 per cent. Theo countered with 25 per cent.
Verdict: Fun fashion product and a great deal secured for the business.

About a month ago, I attended a presentation and workshop on marketing where the presenter, Helen Dowling of Exceptional Thinking, said that the most important part of marketing is to have a way to follow up, and then to follow up. We all come back from seminars and networking events with pockets full of business cards; how many of us actually make use of them?
With the development of social media, the channels through which you can follow up have multiplied, and it is no longer necessary to email everyone you met – some people may warrant an @mention on Twitter, others a connection request on LinkedIn, while others will require an email, and lastly some will need a phone call.
This diversity of follow up opportunities means that you need to have a means to decide who gets what. Hopefully you will have an idea of how likely it is that you will do business with each of the people you met, and so you can use this to decide how you will follow up with them: the most likely you can phone; the least likely you can say 'Hi' to on Twitter.
Whatever means you use to do your initial follow-up, you need to have a record of what was said, where, through what channel, and by and to whom. As your business grows it will very soon become difficult to keep track using pen and paper, and so a Contact Management System on a computer and/or smart phone becomes essential.
Choosing a Contact Management System can be a difficult task, especially if you want it to work with Social Media. And Contact Management Systems can be expensive – though a lot of people are using the Outlook Contact Manager add-on successfully, which is part of the Microsoft Office Small business package. Other options include Gist, ContactZilla and Glasscubes, to name a few.
I am always on the lookout for solutions, and am in a position to help and advise you on the best solution for contact management with social media, should you need it.
A slight shift from Wednesday to Monday for the remainder of this series of Dragons' Den. It will take more than that to catch us off guard.
If you missed last week's, catch up here and below you will find the highlights of episode three.
Quote of the Episode: "If you were to wear glasses you'd look a bit like Theo" Peter Jones
Idea 1
Product: Tatty Bumpkin - ethical children's brand
Investment sought: £200,000 for 20 per cent
Handling: A confident start but confused the Dragons with so many aspects of the business. She demonstrated one of the classes when Peter Jones questioned what her business is about. An argument broke out when questioned about her brand and she became defensive.
Outcome: No offers
Verdict: Lots of ambition but not a strong enough brand and an unrealistic business model.
Idea 2
Product: Golfers' Mate - a pitch repair multi-tool
Investment sought: £100,000 for 12.5 per cent
Handling: A very shaky start, had to restart the pitch three times. Eventually recovered but was instantly faced with harsh criticism from the Dragons. He gave jokey responses to the Dragons' questions, which didn't impress them.
Outcome: James Caan offer: £100k for 30 per cent share – negotiated to 25 per cent with a proviso that they could buy back 15 per cent when James gets his £100k investment back, retaining a 10 per cent share – accepted
Verdict: Not a great pitch and quite blasé when questioned, however he managed to impress with his confidence in receiving bulk orders from large potential clients, which was enough to seal the deal.
Idea 3
Product: Aquatina - a collapsable drinks bottle that can be re-used
Investment sought: £100,000 for 10 per cent equity
Handling: A very confident pitch but the Dragons found it hard to see the point of the product. Duncan Bannatyne became quite irate and threw the product across the den. As the questioning continued, the Dragons became more hostile, accusing him of 'pulling the wool over their eyes' and misleading them in regards to the point of the product.
Outcome: No offers
Verdict: The Dragons struggled to see the point of the product and felt it was not a solution to the problem it was designed to solve.
Idea 4
Product: FGH security - Manned security company
Investment sought: £75,000 for 10 per cent
Handling: An excellent pitch, very knowledgeable and instantly likeable. They presented an excellent business proposition which was attractive to all of the dragons. James Caan made an offer within minutes and was soon followed by the others. Deborah Meaden said she was finding it hard to think of reasons not to invest.
Outcome: Joint offer – Peter Jones 50k for 10 per cent and Theo Phaphitis 50k for 10 per cent with 5 per cent of the equity given back to FGH when the investment is repaid. Offer accepted
Verdict: A highly professional pitch which offered the Dragons an extremely attractive business proposition.

Modern scientific computing involves organizing, moving, visualizing, and analyzing massive amounts of data from around the world, as well as employing large-scale computation. The distributed systems that solve large-scale problems will always involve aggregating and scheduling many resources. Data must be located and staged, cache and network capacity must be available at the same time as computing capacity, etc. Every aspect of such a system is dynamic: locating and scheduling resources, adapting running application systems to availability and congestion in the middleware and infrastructure, responding to human interaction, etc. The technologies, the middleware services, and the architectures that are used to build useful high-speed, wide area distributed systems, constitute the field of data intensive computing. This paper explores some of the history and future directions of that field

Developing a Concept StatementAn effective concept establishes a restaurant's identity. It distinguishes the operation from others in the
market area and allows the restaurant to attract particular customer groups.
Understanding customer preferences is essential in developing an appropriate concept. It is important to
realize that concepts appropriate for one area may not be appropriate for another. Using data already
gathered, this section will help you refine your concept and evaluate its suitability for your market area.
Concept involves the entire dining experience, not just the type of food offered. Elements that define a
restaurant's concept include decor, lighting, menu, food preparation and presentation, service, price,
location, and size. Even the name of the establishment conveys a sense of the concept.
To help refine your restaurant idea, describe your proposed operation in one or two sentences. Use the
elements in the concept refinement worksheet to expand upon your concept statement .
The following questions will help you determine if your concept is suitable for your market area. Use
information from earlier sections to answer them.
· What segments of the population are you targeting with this concept? Consider age, income,
marital and family status, and other relevant demographic characteristics.
· How large are these market segments within your market area? Is the market growing?
· What share of the market can you reasonably expect to capture?
· Will this customer base be large enough to support your operation?
Answer these and other relevant questions to determine if your restaurant idea is suitable for your market
Use the following checklist to complete this part of your market analysis.
- Concept Statement:
- Restaurant Name:
- Independent or Chain Affiliation:
- Theme (ethnic, regional...):
- Atmosphere/Decor:
- Menu (sample appetizers/soups, entrees and desserts):
- Signature Items on Menu:
- Food Preparation/Presentation/Portions:
- Alcoholic Beverage Service:
