Say Goodbye to Reboots with Ksplice
Everyone hates rebooting for updates. When system administrators reboot their servers, they have to manage an inconvenient outage window—quite possibly during the middle of the night—and they have to deal with the lost productivity and annoyed users that result from the disruption. Similarly, rebooting your desktop means losing all of your valuable state—your favorite editor with the 35 open files you were working on, your 14 terminals, and, of course, your paused game of Frozen Bubble.
But the alternative—not installing updates right away—is even more unpleasant. If your parents were anything like mine, they insisted that you do two things: eat your vegetables and install your software updates. Why? Well, first, vegetables provide your body with much-needed nutrients. Second, most exploits take advantage of well-known software vulnerabilities—vulnerabilities that do not exist on patched systems. So staying up to date goes a long way in keeping your systems secure and reliable.
So is this it? Will we forever be forced to choose between security and availability? Fortunately, the answer is no. Ksplice, a startup company founded by MIT alumni, has developed technology that can install software updates, without requiring a reboot.
Using this technology, they are offering Ksplice Uptrack, a service that keeps your Linux systems up to date and secure without any hassle. Additionally, experienced kernel developers also can use the Ksplice tools to create their own rebootless updates.
You can start using Ksplice Uptrack without any advance preparation. Follow the directions on the Ksplice Uptrack Web site, which allows you to install the software using your package manager.
Once you've done this, a K icon appears in your notification area. When you see the K, you know that you have the latest security fixes for your Linux kernel. When new updates are available, a warning sign appears over the K.
When this happens, click on the K to view a list of the available updates. Install the updates by clicking the green Install all updates button. The listed updates will be installed on your running system in seconds, as your applications continue to run without interruption.
Like any good Linux tool, Ksplice Uptrack also can be controlled from the command line, with four simple commands. Each update has an ID associated with it, which you use to name it. You can install or remove individual updates, just like with any package manager. Here are the Ksplice Uptrack Commands:
uptrack-upgrade: downloads and installs the latest kernel updates available for your system.
uptrack-install id: installs the update named id.
uptrack-remove id: removes the update named id.
uptrack-show id: shows more detail about the update named id.
What about when you actually do reboot? Well, you can boot in to your brand-new kernel that you've installed the traditional way, using your package manager. Everything will continue to work nicely, and when Ksplice Uptrack detects new updates for this kernel, it will notify you, just like before.
Alternatively, you can reboot into your old kernel. In this case, Ksplice Uptrack will re-apply the rebootless updates early in the boot process. This approach may be more desirable for some system administrators, because it ensures that the machine is in the exact same configuration both before and after the reboot.
New research originally conducted at MIT makes this rebootless update software possible. Three basic actions are related to rebootless updates: creating a rebootless update from a source code patch, applying a rebootless update to a running system and reversing an update. I describe each of these actions below.
To follow along with these examples on your own computer, you need to install the Ksplice utilities. Your distribution likely already includes these utilities, so you can install them using your package manager. If not, you can download them from the Ksplice Web site.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

"Everything was going pretty good until July when we started getting all the rains and we couldn't get our growth regulator on there and then the rain kept knocking off, kept aborting the squares, the blooms and stuff when it would rain on it, so the cotton got into a real vegetative growth and we couldn't get our growth regulator on it so it got awful big on us and for while there we didn't think we were going to have anything to pick"
Henry and Walter Vajdak farm in south Burleson County.
"As far as rains in July this was very unusual, to get this often a rain, and amount of rain, and we didn't get a flood out of the whole deal and that was something, it came close."
We asked if a wet year was easier to deal with than a dry year for a dry land farmer.
"Every year is different and you just gotta go, you just can't look back. You kind of learn from experience, but it's never the same, it's always a new challenge every year."
All of the July rain made cotton yields hard to predict.
"It wasn't a disaster, I guess you'd call it a mess, I thought. Back then you had a little cotton at the bottom, and no cotton in the middle, and a bunch of cotton on top, and that's not an ideal situation. We got to looking at it, and all the bolls on top and we said that might do a bale, a little over a bale at best."
But it turned out a lot better than it looked. Steve Vajdak became a partner in this operation in 2001.
"I think it's probably a little above average, for us on a dry land year, we're probably somewhere in the two bale to two and a quarter in most fields per acre, so we're fairly happy with that."
As Forrest Gump's mom said, "life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get." So is farming.

In Scribblenauts Remix on iOS, I've attempted to use teleporters to solve a couple of puzzles. I make two teleporter pads, but when I try to use one all that happens is the level is restarted. Is this a bug or intended behaviour? Is there something special I need to do to use it?
No, this is the intended behaviour, however silly it may be. I believe the same thing happens with a Time Machine as well as a few other items. Sorry.
No. Mine restarts immediately as well. In sandbox I have supersonic wings, a supersonic rideable dot and a tough lethal zombie too.

Marion County Teacher Accused of Inappropriately Touching Students
Deputies say the teacher admitted to using his position of trust to inappropriately touch young girls.
Now he's behind bars.
A Marion County Elementary School teacher faces charges for mishandling two children in his care.
Marion County school officials say they didn't see it coming.
John Morrison, 62, has been a Romeo Elementary School music teacher in Dunnellon since fall 2006.
School officials say he started as a substitute teacher and then eventually replaced a teacher.
On Friday, two female students came forward with accusations that Morrison didn't deny.
The victims, ages 7 and 8, told authorities Morrison had been inappropriately touching them during class – one incident going back as far as last Christmas.
Deputies say that on various occasions, the girls confided that Morrison would touch their legs, butts and chests during movies while the lights in the classroom were off and where they were out of the sight of other students.
Once Morrison was brought in by deputies for questioning, he admitted to the incidents the victims had named and also said that he felt the incidents were inappropriate.
Morrison is being held on a $27,000 bond.

Continuous radon monitoring in soil and groundwater is one of the useful methods in earthquake prediction process. There are many published studies on geochemical precursors to seismic activity, both reporting the detection of validated precursory phenomena. The research on geochemical precursory algorithms is aimed at defining quantitative relations between seismogenic parameters and endogenetic components. This paper presents a new analytical algorithm that can be used to estimate optimum location and magnitude of coming earthquakes based on variations in radon concentration or any other geochemical precursors. In a real life application of this algorithm, radon monitoring network for Kerman province has been designed and the resulting data have been investigated. This practical example corroborates the proposed algorithm as well and the resulting seismogenic parameters e.g. location and magnitude have been obtained within their acceptable ranges. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm emphasizes on hot-springs which have the most effect on results around target zone.

Dexim Visible Green Charger
Company: Dexim
Price: $34.90 USD
Charging cables are the most heavily used pieces of equipment that users of iOS devices take completely for granted. How exciting can chargers be, right? Dexim may change that perception with their new Visible Green Charging Cable — a system that is not only cool to use, but is also environmentally friendly.
The Dexim Visible Green Charger is designed to eliminate the "vampire" power draw that accounts for close to 10% of the energy consumption in the U.S. This is electricity that is being drawn from the grid by devices that are simply plugged in but are not being used. Maybe it's a game console that's turned off or a battery charging cable that's simply plugged into a fully-charged device. Either way, there is a needless usage of electricity that not only adds to your monthly electrical bill, but also harms the environment with the extra power that's forced to be generated.

I just received this coffee maker from UPS and was so excited. It is very cute! I set it up and went about running water through it to do the initial cleaning. Immediately water came running through the bottom vents, pouring out onto the counter and into the floor. I called Kaloric and they said nothing could be done about it and it would have to be returned. I have never bought a Kaloric product and will now permanently avoid them.

- Dialogue Clarity

- Movie Performance
- Music Performance
I bought the last one. The bass is powerful but the dialogue is muddled at times. I might have to rethink soundbars as this unit is definatly weak link in system. I have it as part of a Sony 4K and Sony Blue Ray system. Maybe it is a compatibility issue.
Pros: Crutchfield's fast service and good pricing.
Cons: Doesn't seem like all bugs are worked out. Considering another soundbar.

pretty convenient location for business travel. however, not where the actions are for a tourist.
both two encounters with reception desk were not what I expect from Hilton I have always experienced. both were a bit rude and may even be borderline discriminative(?, really hope not). No, I won't recommend it to people I know.

Location is perfect, next to the underground. And nice staff and atrium. Perfect English, along with a nice room and amenities.
Wifi Internet was horrible, dropping frequently and wouldn't work in the lobby. Sadly I moved to a much cheaper hotel which had great internet and twice the speeds for free. This is the #1 fix, otherwise its a great hotel.

Professionally run. Central location.
Room doors that close too forcefully, creating slam noises. Why do hotels so often have such noise-making doors, when the point of a hotel is a place to sleep? Woken up several times during stay by these loud doors. The rest of hotel is nice.

I wonder if any of our other members have the same body shape-related problem I have. My torso is disproportionately short given the length of my arms. As such, I couldn't even consider, for example, wearing a holter on my right-hand side (I'm right handed) at the 3 o'clock position - I'd never be able to draw the pistol from the holster. It seems to me that I have two options. (BTW, I'd like to get an OWB holster.) One, I could wear a (right-hand side) holster on my left-hand side with the grip of the pistol facing forward. (As I see it, a predictable problem here is that that would make it easier for someone to grab my pistol.) Two, I could wear a left-hand side holster in the small of my back, and draw with my right hand, palm out. Any thoughts or recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

Fist holsters will work with you. (See 'Related Links' above...)
I use a Fist #41A IWB/SOB holster...I have over 6 of just that style.
This SOB holster rides (at 5:30) over the kidney and not the spine, and it's a palm out draw...very smooth and, with practice, can be brought into play almost as fast at my IWB holsters at 3:30. In fact, with a print shirt on, I can place my hand on my sidearm and it cannot be seen...
Stay armed...try Fist holsters...stay safe!

- From: AP
- November 24, 2011
GEORGE Michael has cancelled a string if concerts after being admitted to hospital with pneumonia.
George Michael's publicist Connie Filippello said the English singer was in a hospital in Vienna, Austria.
She that Michael's upcoming tours in Vienna, Strasbourg, France, and Cardiff, Wales, have been postponed as a result and will be rescheduled. Michael is bringing his Symphonica tour to Australia next year with dates confirmed at Allphones Arena, Homebush, and Hope Estate in the Hunter Valley in April.
Her statement said the singer has been "diagnosed with pneumonia and he is currently receiving treatment."
Austrian state broadcaster said 48-year-old Michael is in Vienna's AKH hospital.
Michael cancelled his planned Vienna concert on Monday two hours before it was due to start.

The Nemaha Natural Resources District reports that high water is forcing a temporary ban on boating at Kirkman's Cove and Iron Horse Trail Lake.
"Recent heavy rains have filled the lakes at Kirkman's Cove and Iron Horse Trail Lake to capacity and beyond," the NRD reports.
Water levels are measured eight feet above normal pool limits resulting in an excess of water. Because of the high water levels, unseen hazards may exist in the lakes that would pose a danger to boaters.
Hazards that are undetectable at Iron Horse may include grills, picnic tables, the wooden, handicapped accessible fishing pier, and other jetties that were constructed when the lake was renovated a couple of years ago.
Similar hazards exist at Kirkman's Cove. Signs and barriers have been placed at both parks and will remain until water levels retreat to safe levels.
The Nemaha NRD appreciates everyone's cooperation and understanding during the closures. Efforts will be made to get the parks cleaned up and returned to normal once the waters recede.
If you have questions, contact the NRD in Tecumseh at 335-3325.

Pakistan Reevaluating Relationship With America
Posted on Dec 26, 2011
After its formerly cozy relations with the U.S. went south in recent months, Pakistan is done being America's "rainy-day girlfriend," as one Pakistani politician memorably put it, and wants some space to figure out what the future will hold. So far, it's looking like far fewer regional strategic benefits will be on offer, and then there's the touchy topic of drone attacks. It could well be the case that no amount of sweet talk will work this time. —KA

My problem is that when I press a link on the sidebar on the right, the links don't go to that post or the section called "news" (which is also at the top menu) but to the front page instead. Also, when I go to the section called "news", the posts link to the front page instead of the post.
Does anybody know how to fix this? I could imagine it's a fairly simple fix - I just don't know as I'm not so savvy on web design.

A challenging pick-up-and-play game.
This game is a bit challenging. It takes a while to get used to the controls, and get the hang of how to play it. As a result, to be completely honest I did not enjoy this game when I first started playing. The controls unique, and it was challenging to play even on the "easy" mode. The reason I mention that in an otherwise positive review is that I want to warn other people not to give up on this game too fast. Stick with it, and you'll soon love it. The graphics and sounds are fantastic, so I continued playing ... and I am REALLY glad that I did. After you spend a bit of time playing this game, you start to unlock other playing fields, and other mini-games. The other playing fields are gorgeous, and the mini-games are an absolute blast. The "key" is being able to predict where the ball is going to end up, and it's all based on the angles just like playing billiards. If you can predict where the ball will end up, you can get there faster than the AI opponent and nudge him out of the way. All in all, a great game. Highly recommended.
What A Blast!!
One of the more enjoyable games I've played in a while. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the physics are good, the environments are rendered well, and the gameplay is really engaging. It's basically a battle to keep the little ball in your "possession" (read: same color as you due to touching it most recently) and knocking out the most objects while preventing your opponent from possessing the ball while it is knocking out objects. You basically fight to box your opponent out of range of the ball while redirecting it to hit the objects. Tough to explain, but simple to play. I'm pretty sure I'll be playing this one for a while. Well done!
Funnn gamee!!!
This game is really fun to play and the high scores is a good addition. The graphics are awesome! Another good thing is being able to customize the ball you choose. Good game for the price

Anne and Hollie Greig Royal Courts London this Friday
This is a personal message to encourage as many people as possible to attend the Royal Courts of Justice in London this coming Friday 2 March for a hearing for Anne and Hollie Greig at 1030. We need numbers – real numbers – to show that the public is waking up.
Robert Green has already been imprisoned in Scotland to 'shut him up' and to stop him exposing the nature and scale of the child abuse at the very highest levels of the Scottish establishment. To date they have spent over £500,000 to hound, gag and finally imprison Robert. All he has ever done is to try and expose the truth and bring criminals to justice.
The case on Friday is to challenge a recent ruling that Hollie is not competent and therefore she cannot be relied upon as a witness. How strange then that the police originally stated that Hollie was both competent as a witness and was considered reliable. Able to describe her abuse, name abusers, and identify professional and social links between them, Hollie is the danger to the establishment in this case. She is the witness and holds key evidence – other documentary and medical evidence exists. Get rid of Hollie in the gulag of the 'care system' and the state and its agents is safe to carry on abusing children. Scotland and Westminster are collaborating in the cover-up of Hollie's abuse.
It was revealed at Robert Green's own trial that the police had not investigated or questioned any of those identified by Hollie as abusers. No investigation, means no evidence of course. No evidence means no crime was committed – a self fulfilling prophesy. The same circular tactic is being used by the abuse scandal and cover-up at Oxford and Cherwell Valley College.
There are thousands of cases of child abuse and child stealing in UK every year. We feel for each and every parent and child. But to take the lid of this foul abusive system we need to back those cases that directly hit the root of the problem – child abusers and paedophiles at the highest levels of the government and legal system.
Please tell a friend about this case and come to the Courts this Friday – as the poster said all those years ago "Your Country Needs You". Evil flourishes when good people do nothing. Thank you.

The twelfth volume of the Practitioners Library of Medicine and Surgery is a sound, composite textbook on preventive medicine and hygiene. Such a book is of the greatest importance in rural medical practice. After a discussion of periodic physical examination there are special chapters dealing with water, clothing, exercise and rest, excretions, sunshine, cleanliness and personal mental hygiene. The second portion of the book concerns preventive medicine as it applies to groups of human beings; the third section deals with community health; the fourth section covers the prevention of infectious diseases, as well as the diseases of the various systems of the human body. All the men selected to prepare various portions of this book are writers who have had special training and interest in the topics they discuss. The book is practical, authoritative and obviously a fundamental addition to this system of medicine and surgery.

Fears of a Dem crackdown lead to boom in gun sales
"I think they're going to really try to crack down on guns and make it harder for people to try to purchase them," said Smith, 32, who taught all five of her childrenages 4 to 10to shoot because the family relies on game for food.
Last month, as an Obama win looked increasingly inevitable, there were 62,000 more background checks for gun purchases than in October 2007, a 25 percent increase. And they were up about 8 percent for the year as of Oct. 26, according to the FBI.
It makes a kind of senseObama supports the assault weapons ban, voted for the Illinois handgun ban, voted to leave gun manufacturers open to lawsuits, and so on. All of which is fine. But if gun sales keep up this way, it might not matter.
Anybody holding stock in Smith and Wesson? Don't sell it for a couple of months.

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 48 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by Kevin27 Loved them until one of the cleats broke off. These are super comfy and an awesome price. I haven't bought cleats for like 10 years before this so I am not sure how long they are supposed to last but I was hoping for more than 15 games. May 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by MJBird He likes the ankle strap. My son really loves these shoes. He had the same pair last year, just grew out of them and needed a new pair for this season. May 1, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Clink51 Great, but order larger awesome cleats, kinda like walking on clouds. Order one complete size up, otherwise it will be very tight on the widest part of your feet. Slightly Wide - Wide go full size up. If you have narrow feet, half size should do it April 22, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Jackie27 So far so good.. This came out to be on top.. Reasons I gave 4 stars coz: 1. It has a joint in front toes area just like all other shoes, that is where they break. Some come as a single piece in the front. But everything else was so great, it can be ignored, since got good price. 2. We haven't used them yet, but if get couple of seasons out of this would be more than worth. March 30, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5�by TD82 very happy with the quality and price This is our second pair. My son really likes the color options for this shoe and the top ankle strap. March 12, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nate Perfect I got these for my 14 year old daughter and she loves them. Fast shipping. February 15, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Pitch04 This product is good for the price This is the second pair of this shoe I have brought for my daughter. She likes them for the support that they give her. The only down side I had with the last pair is that the Velcro with the NIKE on it after awhile would not fasten and I had to use tape to keep it out of the way. But for the price they are a good value. Will buy again, February 12, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by PlayernCoach Very nice so far, but narrow These shoes look great & perform very well. They are higher than I thought in the back, but they really make your ankle feel secure. My only knock on them so far is that they are narrow in the front and playing more than 1 game in them is painful. Hopefully they stretch out soon. November 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Sam28 Great pair of shoes! They fit well and are comfortable I haven't had them long but hope they will hold up. September 29, 2015

Ever wonder about our injury record?
It cant be all bad luck that season after season we have the worst injury list of all the big clubs by some distance. id like to hear what all your thoughts are on this because it must be somrthing the club is doing (or not doing) to cause it. i wonder if its got to do with training technique or levels, also SAF has mostly gone for smaller players than the likes of liverpool,chelsea,arsenal ect.....Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
only1duncanedwards only1duncanedwards Aug 7, 2006 05:26 Flag
it is extremally worrying when the club does get so many injuries, i dont think its anything more than any other club gets but it just seems to happen to our key players. I also think alot of our injuries could be self inflicted, because of the whole aura around the club players always want to give 110% and then a bit more but unfortunatly the body can only take so much before things start to give in

I don`t think its the training - that certainly wasn`t the reason why Giggs (fractured cheekbone) and Scholes (blurred vision) were out during the season.
There are also other factors - most of Saha`s injuries have happened whilst he`s been away playing for France. Indeed the increased number of games, both domestic and international, players have to play may well be one of the reason why so many of them pick up injuries not only at utd but at other teams as well. And I do wonder about their footwear and foot injuries.

could it be the fact that over the last 4-5 years our strenghth in depth hasn't been as good as it was previosly and therefore any key players who do get injured are missed massively. i dont think it could be anything wrong at the club because its monitered so much by doctors physios, other coaches and scientists now that if they was doing something wrong it would have been picked up. Also nowadays coaching meathods and training is shared much more between coaches that most teams would be doing somthing very similer
maybe your right but other clubs have plyers just as loyal as ours(hate to say it but like liverpool+newcastle) and im convinced that we'd have nearly as many injurys as them put together and like mr harris earlier, its natural to want to dafend our club but the problem is real
i know what you're saying devon but what im talking about is happening every year(this year isnt as bad as the last 4-5) plus id wager that a high percentage of players who get injured on int duty in the prem are utd players and that could be be connected to training levels or something i havent thought of.................
Just thinking the same thing. Are we turning into another Newcastle? WTF is going on?

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, Beyoncé posted more personal photos of the family - people we're sure she's thankful for this season. In the first tender picture, the superstar mom holds 11-month-old Blue Ivy in her arms as her daughter plays with a gold hoop. Both mom and daughter are rocking blue outfits while Bey shows off her braided hair.
In the second black-and-white shot, Jay-Z walks down a tree-lined path with Blue Ivy in his arms, proof of how easily a sweet baby can turn a rapper's heart to complete mush.

Everyone wants to escape their boring, stagnant lives full of inertia and regret. But so few people actually have the bravery to run - run away from everything and selflessly seek out personal fulfillment on the other side of the world where they don't understand anything and won't be expected to. The world is full of cowards.
Tim Anderson was pushing 30 and working a string of dead-end jobs when he made the spontaneous decision to pack his bags and move to Japan. It was a gutsy move, especially for a tall, white, gay Southerner who didn't speak a lick of Japanese. But his life desperately needed a shot of adrenaline, and what better way to get one than to leave behind his boyfriend, his cat, and his Siouxsie and the Banshees box set to move to "a tiny, overcrowded island heaving with clever, sensibly proportioned people who make him look fat"?
In Tokyo, Tim became a "gaijin", an outsider whose stumbling progression through Japanese culture is minutely chronicled in these 16 hilarious stories. Despite the steep learning curve and the seemingly constant humiliation, the gaijin from North Carolina gradually begins to find his way. Whether playing drums on the fly in an otherwise all-Japanese noise band or attempting to keep his English classroom clean when it's invaded by an older female student with a dirty mind, Tim comes to realize that living a meaningful life is about expecting the unexpected...right when he least expects it.

"Tune In Tokyo- a very enjoyable memior"
I had started out getting the Kindle version and was part way through it and when I discovered it was available on Audible I got it quick! Audio books work out so much better for me that I was glad I could switch to the Audible format to hear the rest of the book.
I really enjoyed the story of the author's adventures in Japan. I thought it was an often funny story and would recommend it!
The Audible version is also a great example of how the right reader can really make the story great! He sounds a lot like Mathew McConaughey to me and does great with his accents when he's describing some of the other foreign characters in the story.
I think it's really worth the 'credit'!
"Fun experences of an English teacher in Japan"
This is a fun history of an average guy getting out of a rut in middle America by going to teach English in Japan. If you are interested in Japan and like travel stories, you will probobly enjoy this. Sections are not family friendly, but as the voice of the book is that of a 20 something out on an adventure, that should probobly be expected.
"Tokyo Madness"
Was it the drunk Australian teacher or maybe it was the Vagina Room?
I laughed all the way through.
I loved this book. The author was very engaging and very very funny.
A tiny little story
"Good book to waste some time with."
I've travelled and lived in Japan and love the country. This book was on a 5 dollar sale and thought it would be worth a try. The book is read by MacLeod Andrews who has a pleasant voice well matched to the tone of the book. The story itself is about a 20ish gay person visiting Japan for the first time to teach English. The book basically it a collection of experiences and interesting intervals which he encountered.
It would depend on the topic, I think he wrote pretty much all he could about Tokyo in this book.
The voice of the author is well suited for the tone of the book. Which in many cases is a bit cynical but funny. Speaking Japanese myself I
To book is good for some slow giggles and best enjoyed when relaxing or commuting.
"Of all the David Sedaris wannabes, he comes close"
Very easy to listen to, you can just zone in and zone out and not miss the actual story (mainly because these are little unconnected anecdotes). Perfect for quick city rides, because you can just listen to it for 7-8 minutes and still get some entertainment out of it.
Out of all the David Sedaris wannabes, this one actually comes closest to being occasionally funny. He is from Raleigh, NC - Check. He is gay - Check. He travels to Japan without speaking much of the language - Check. It won't have you roll around laughing, but good entertainment value.
Although the book is light and engaging, the experiences shared by Tim Anderson are very deep and personal. Funny from beginning to end!
"As the Japanese say - CUTE"
the narrator truly brought the story to life.
The trials and tribulations of living in a country whose culture and language are so diverse from our own. Funny story.
He was excellent. He made the whole experience so believable.
Can a Southern, gay diabetic find happiness in Japan?
"Surprisingly funny"
I have to admit that I fell right into the story, and laughed out loud a few times at the amusing anecdotes the author shared. Anderson managed to bring the little moments he experienced while in Tokyo alive to me.
I love traveling the world, and we do it at least once a year. I've never considered picking it all up and moving to a random location by myself though.
I thoroughly enjoyed the wit and sarcasm of the author. The narration was also done really well, and brought the story alive for me. Great enunciation and stress at the just the right places.
I really love this story, it really made me understand what it would be like to venture to a foreign country and be enveloped by its culture. Especially because I do plan on living in Japan as well. This rendition of his experience only made me want to go more. Also McLeod is amazing!
"Accurate description s of living/teaching abroad"
The book started a bit slow but really built into something fascinating. Interesting as a travel book but more interesting to those that have lived and taught abroad or have aspirations to do so. There are great descriptions of teaching both in suburban and urban areas, The logistics of living in Japan, the nightlife, the people, and the types of students one encounters. There are also many interesting social interactions outside of class from bars, to music lessons, to bands, and more.
100% accurate descriptions of the type of people and often odd personalities that are attracted to teaching in Japan. I was laughing at loud and groaning at many of the descriptions as they matched perfectly with people I have experienced in Japan. The author doesn't pull any punches with the social misfits, losers, drunks, and _________ that think Japan will be the answer to their lack of social skills in their home country.
The author had a slight southern accent which matches the authors southern roots. One felt it could have been the author reading the book.
"a funny insight to living in Japan"
I picked up this audio book expecting a dry and factual travel story.. thats not what i got at all, its actually a really amusing tale of the authors life in Japan over the course of a year and a half while working as a English Teacher.. our litirary gaijin spins an interesting story of life in a way different from his suburban American roots with tales of psychotic drunken flatmates, strange customs and falling in love with a culture so alien to him.
Ok. you wont learn much in the way of Japanese language or customs from this book but you woll come away with a desire to experience the lifestyle yoursrlf someday.. a highly enjoyable read indeed.

Forms of Academic Assessment
2.1 Forms of Academic Assessment
|Assessment is a general term used to describe the mechanism to measure student achievement. A variety of assessment methods may be applied to reflect an integrated curriculum design. At UCL there is an expectation that a mixture of formative and summative assessment methodologies will be applied to test different skills and to enable students to achieve the intended learning outcomes. Formative assessment can also provide experience of a programme's summative assessment.
|Summative assessment provides a clear statement of achievement that can be made in respect of an individual student's performance. The outcome of summative assessment is used to classify a degree award and is recorded on student transcripts.
|Formative assessment provides feedback to individual students about their progress towards achieving the intended learning objectives for specified course units and modules. In addition, innovative formative assessment methodologies make an important contribution to the overall development of student skills and transferable knowledge.
|Permitted forms of summative academic assessment are set out in Section 1: Assessment Strategy.
|Permitted forms of summative e-assessment are set out in Section 5.2: Summative e-Assessment.

It remains unclear if the factor structures of commonly used caregiver burden scales normed on white samples are similar with samples from different ethnic communities. Our study tests the factor structure of the Burden Assessment Scale (BAS) using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) with data from low-income, African American families caring for a family member with schizophrenia. The EFA solution included a 2 factor structure of subjective burden and objective burden with strong loadings demonstrating a clear differentiation between the factors. Our results suggest that low income, African American families appear to experience caregiving burden as one major or broad component in their lives similar to other areas that demand ongoing coping and adaptation. Likewise, the factor structure found with this sample as compared to the factor structure found with white samples suggests differences in the perception of and/or the reporting of burden. Study limitations as well as implications for practice are provided.

Membership Semiconductors Sector
The telecommunications industry is now entering an exciting phase of development many refer to as the Internet of Everything (IoE), including Internet of Humans (IoH), Internet of Digital (IoD), and Internet of Sensors (IoS). The objective here is to bring more "smartness" to the way humans and machines communicate. In order for this vision to materialize, enabling technologies must be harmonized under a common paradigm so they can enable seamless experiences across various verticals. There are five key technologies upon which the IoE world is built, namely sensor networks, connectivity, processing, software platforms, actuation technologies, and big data and machine learning. Based on these building blocks, the Semiconductors sector looks at the strategic technology deployment across various verticals with unparalled technology granularity covering all WLAN and WWAN technologies and technology combinations, processing platforms including CPUs, MCUs, MPUs, DSPs, ISPs, heterogeneous computing, high performance computing, key sensor technologies, and sensor fusions targeting various use cases from motion sensing, environment sensing, optical, and image sensing, to acoustic sensing and biometric sensing.

Alvaro Barrientos, Associated Press
MADRID — Day after day, Spanish chef Jesus Lopez serves up treats like a steaming stew of red beans with spicy chorizo sausage and bacon chunks. And that's just the first course. Next comes hake au gratin on a bed of spinach, and cream-stuffed puff pastry for dessert.
Lopez owns a small, upscale place catering to business people who eat the old-fashioned Spanish way and often come to negotiate or celebrate deals. They punctuate work with a break of two hours or more for a hearty meal — the rest of the work day be damned. But many now wonder if struggling Spain can continue to afford a tradition that — for some — borders on sacred.
"It is quintessentially Spanish," said Lopez, a friendly, thoughtful man of 48. "The problem is that there are fewer things to celebrate these days."
Indeed, as Europe's economic crisis bites hard, the eurozone's fourth largest economy is saddled with its own myriad woes, and low productivity resulting from long work days is one of them. It is groping for ways to reinvent itself after a housing bubble that largely fueled the economy went bust three years ago. Unemployment now stands at 21.5 percent. Debt is piling up everywhere.
One thing that would help is to scrap the traditional productivity-sucking black hole at midday, say economists and advocates of a more American-style 9-to-5 schedule.
These reform-seekers say people would be more rested and motivated, and thus perform better, if they could clock out earlier and get home to do things like exercise or raise their kids in person.
More and more companies are at least taking notice of these benefits and considering a switch, but old habits and mindsets — like the idea that working long evening hours scores bonus points with the boss — take time to change, these advocates say.
Even the federation representing Spain's small- and medium-size companies — which represent more than 90 percent of Spain's businesses — says canning the long split shift is worth considering.
"We want to avoid excessive work days that contribute nothing to productivity," said Teresa Diaz de Teran, head of CEPYME's labor relations department. "We see this as an issue to study, an area where there is room for improvement."
There's a general election coming up on Nov. 20, and the private Association for the Rationalization of Spanish Schedules, a lobby group pushing for Spain to make better use of its time, both work and leisure, has contacted all the major candidates for prime minister to back their call.
Antonio Camunas, a business consultant who runs a company called Global Strategies, puts it bluntly: "In Spain a tremendous amount of time is wasted. No doubt about it."
Of the 17 nations that share the euro, Spain is 10th in productivity per hour worked, according to Eurostat, the European Union's statistical agency.
There is no Spanish law that mandates workers get two hours for their midday meal, a pause traditionally associated with the siesta (although these days such a snooze is just a dream for most big city Spaniards because of long commutes that make it impractical to go home for lunch.) Rather, the length of lunch breaks is negotiated by unions and companies.
Decades ago, Spaniards did in fact eat lunch earlier, in sync with the rest of Europe. But after the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39 — and the ruinous period of hunger and other hardship that ensued — people often needed two jobs to support their families, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Thus, a later and longer lunch break and some rest time, and the birth of a custom.
These days, the Labor Ministry said the National Statistics Institute say they have no firm figures on how many workers have what kind of break at midday.

Martinez rejects McCarthy bid reports
Roberto Martinez has dismissed media speculation that Everton have tabled a bid for Wigan Athletic midfielder James McCarthy.
Martinez has signed three players who played under him at Wigan - Antolin Alcaraz, Arouna Kone and Joel Robles – since swapping the DW Stadium for Goodison Park in June.
Republic of Ireland international McCarthy has been linked to follow in the footsteps of his three former team-mates, but Martinez has rejected reports he has made an offer for the 22-year-old
The Everton manager confirmed: "There has been no bid made.
"I think it's quite easy to understand that James is a player I signed at a young age and I've got huge admiration for him, so it doesn't take anyone to create a little bit of a story.
"But there has been no bid."
Martinez also stated at a press conference on Tuesday that there has been no further contact with Manchester United after Everton last week rejected a "derisory and insulting" bid from the Premier League champions for two of the club's players, widely reported to be Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines.

# define POINTER_FITS_INTO_UINT
There are some pages (e.g. http://scaryreasoner.wordpress.com/2009/02/28/checking-sizeof-at-compile-time/) which explain how to make a compile-time assertion on
sizeof (and fail to compile if it fails), but I don't see a way to extend this approach to what I want.

DIMMITT — It went as expected Monday night for anybody who's familiar with the two teams.
Which means that the Canyon Lady Eagles got a familiar result to end up in a familiar place.
In a typically hard-fought game where neither team led by more than seven points, Canyon held on late to defeat Plainview, 42-39, in a Class 4A region quarterfinal game. That gives Canyon (30-4) a sixth consecutive trip to the Region I-4A tournament starting in Snyder on Friday, where the Lady Eagles will play the winner of tonight's Aledo-Cleburne game in a region semifinal.
The schools have crossed paths often over the years, notably in the 2011 region finals, where Canyon won 42-40 in overtime en route to an undefeated state championship. Monday's contest resembled that game.
"It was a very difficult game to get momentum and keep it," Canyon coach Joe Lombard said. "(Plainview) really got off quick in the first half. We've been there before this season and we're not always a high-octane offense, and we have to play tough and grind it out sometimes."
For much of the first half Canyon trailed, and when Plainview's Lizette Ramirez opened the second quarter with a 3-pointer, the Lady Eagles fell behind 17-10. But it's never been the custom of a Lombard team to panic, and Canyon eventually tied the game and trailed 19-18 at halftime.
In the third quarter, back-to-back 3-pointers by freshman Angel Hayden and Brittany Morgan and a bank shot by Madison Parker gave Canyon a 26-21 lead. Plainview (25-9) twice tied the game, but never led again after that.
Canyon's Shelby Bartley scored on an offensive rebound near the end of the third quarter to make it 32-30, and the Lady Eagles never relinquished the lead again. A layup by Parker and a three-point play by Hayden concluded a 7-0 run, giving Canyon a 37-30 lead.
"There's 32 minutes in a game and you have to play that every time," said Parker, the senior post who led Canyon with 12 points and has now been to the region tournament four years in a row. "Being a senior when the team's struggling you've got to be the one to step up."
Plainview cut it to two points three times in the final three minutes, but never had a possession with an opportunity to take the lead.
"You know how hard it is when Canyon gets you down because they're so hard to score on," Plainview coach Danny Wrenn said. "Our kids showed a lot of grit staying with it."
Hayden made a free throw with 13 seconds left to make it 42-39. Plainview never even got off a shot that could have tied it.
Karli Wheeler had a game-high 18 points for Plainview, but had to work for them as she was hounded defensively by Hayden, who had 11.
"I didn't expect to be on (Wheeler) because she's such a good player," Hayden said. "They didn't want me to foul her and I needed help.''
