Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran revealed today that 19-year-old University of South Alabama freshman Gil Collar obtained and ingested LSD at BayFest Friday night before he returned to campus, stripped naked and assaulted people in passing cars. Minutes later, Collar was shot dead by a campus police officer, identified today as 27-year-old Trevis Austin, a four-year veteran of the force.Cochran stressed that while his department's independent investigation has yet to reach any conclusions, it was trying to be as transparent as possible. Cochran said he will share video with Collar's family tomorrow that documented their son's erratic behavior in the moments before he apparently rushed within five feet of Austin and was shot. Cochran said Austin was left with no choice but to fire one shot into Collar's chest because he had no secondary weapon such as pepper spray or a taser and reholstering his gun would have left him vulnerable to attack. Responding to Collar pounding on the glass of the campus police department, Cochran said the video shows Austin exit the building with his weapon drawn, where he immediately encountered Collar. "It's important for the community to know we are being very thorough with the investigation and I'm trying to determine what led up to these events, what events occurred and of course any follow-up investigation," Cochran said. Investigators have obtained sworn statements from witnesses who accompanied Collar to BayFest and saw him take LSD, as well as others on campus who later took photos of him as he approached passing cars naked and "assaulted a couple of individuals," he said. A female told investigators Collar grabbed her arm and attempted to bite her. Cochran said at some point after those incidents, which were not reported to law enforcement, that Collar arrived at the campus police station, where his actions were recorded on video. "When he arrived at the police station initially, he approached the door and attempted to come in. The door was locked and closed and he did not make entry. He walked a few feet away and in less than a minute came back and began very actively beating this window glass, just swinging at it as you could describe someone just as hard as they can hitting the glass trying to break in or get attention," Cochran said. "The police officer inside the building heard this noise and has he exited a solid door he exited with his weapon drawn, his sidearm. As he exited you can see the subject approach him completely naked, no skiffies or nothing and very wet with perspiration, appearing to be totally saturated. [Collar] approached the officer and the officer had his gun out and the officer retreated and continued to walk backwards, you can see the officer was giving commands to him and continuously walking back. The suspect in the video is seen to jump down at the ground and lunge toward the officer a few times and make motions toward him and back up, but continued to press the officer as the officer had retreated some 50-60 feet from the area of the precinct."Austin told investigators the action continued about 20-30 feet from the view of cameras, where Collar eventually rushed to within five feet of him, causing Austin to fire. Collar was never armed. He apparently stood up after being shot, but then collapsed and died from his injuries. Austin was put on administrative leave and the University has since kept quiet about the incident, out of respect for the investigation, Cochran said. "In the use of deadly force, if someone is capable of overpowering you and taking your weapon away, then they are capable of using deadly force against you," Cochran said. "Once a police officer has his weapon out, then that weapon is available for the other person to take it from him unless he maintains control. So you have to look at it from that light."Collar was reported to be a high-school wrestling star with a muscular build, although multiple media reports have stated he wrestled in the 130-pound weight class, one of the smaller classes. Cochran said the case strongly resembles that of Joseph Annis, who died in 1998 after struggling with Mobile police officers on Government Street. Cochran was police chief at the time. The 27-year-old Annis, also under the influence of LSD and alcohol, had stripped naked and was dodging in and out of traffic and beating on windows, according to reports from the time.Officers responding got into struggle with Annis, apparently putting him in a chokehold and subduing him. Within minutes he was having trouble breathing and later succumbed to his injuries on his way to a hospital. The cause of Annis' death was later determined to be strangulation and multiple blunt-force injuries inflicted by the responding officers, but they were cleared of any wrongdoing in an internal investigation. "It's a state of excited delirium," Cochran said of LSD users who react to the drug in that manner. "There's an angle on this and it's drugs."Donald Briskman, a Mobile attorney who for a time represented the Annis family in the death of Joseph, said he's been on both sides of aisle, representing plaintiffs and defendants in excessive force trials. "It happens all too often than we would like," Briskman said. "One time is too many, but there is always another side to a story." Briskman said police brutality cases are handled similarly to any other criminal charge, in that they are based on internal investigations and grand jury proceedings. He said often, for liability purposes, even if officers are cleared of wrongdoing, they are effectively demoted to "in-house jobs" that prevent them from becoming involved in similar circumstances in the future. And on the civil side, peace officers have certain immunities provided by law. Either way, he said, it's unusual that a police officer faces any jail time for what is generally seen as upholding the law."I've never had a grand jury indict an officer in a shooting incident," he said.Cochran said the District Attorney would be responsible for determining the criminality of the officer's actions, if there were any. University of South Alabama campus police do not carry tasers. But interestingly, Cochran said the DA could also pursue murder charges against the person who supplied the drugs to Collar. Students are organizing a protest on campus at 11 a.m. Wednesday. A Facebook page dedicated to the event claims, "Gill Collar was unarmed and naked. Join us to make USA and its police force realize that this is unjustifiable and there were other means to restrain Gill besides killing him in cold blood. On October 10 join our protest around the campus police station to showcase our dissatisfaction with these events."Meanwhile, Cochran said his department is urging people not to try the case in the court of public opinion, whether they support Collar or Austin. He said all the evidence will eventually become public record through grand jury or other judicial proceedings. "I think it's so important that the public understand what happened and if we can be so totally transparent," he said. "You should not jump to judgment until you see or hear all of the facts of this case."

Lab Notebooks
Do's and Don'ts for Keeping Lab Notebooks
A laboratory notebook is a vital record of events leading to a patentable invention. The recorded information can establish dates of conception and reduction to practice of a technology as well as the inventorship of a patent claiming the technology. Below are fourteen rules you should follow when keeping lab notebooks.
#1 – Do use bound books
Inventors should use permanently bound notebooks, e.g., notebooks with spiral or glue bindings. If loose-leaf sheets are used, they should be consecutively numbered and each page should be dated, signed, and witnessed.
#2 – Do sign and date
Each notebook should be signed and dated on the inside front cover to indicate the first day the recipient started using the notebook. Each entry should be signed and dated. An independent witness, i.e., someone who understands the technology but will not be named as a co-inventor of the invention, should sign and date each entry after the statement: Read and understood by __________. (The witness should preferably sign the entries on a contemporaneous or fairly contemporaneous basis, but entries can also be reviewed, signed, and dated on a periodic, e.g., weekly or monthly, basis.)
#3 – Do use ink
Notebook entries should be made in ink and in chronological order. Entries should not be erased or whited out. If an entry contains an error, a line should be drawn through the error and new text should continue in the next available space.
#4 – Don't leave blank spaces
Blank gaps between entries should be avoided. If a blank space is left on a page, a line or cross should be drawn through the blank space, and the page dated to prevent subsequent entries.
#5 – Don't modify
Prior entries should not be modified at a later date. If data were omitted, the new data can be entered under a new date and cross-referenced to the previous entry. Record experiments when they are performed.
#6 – Do use past tense
Use the past tense (e.g., was heated) to describe the experiments that were actually performed.
#7 – Do explain abbreviations and special terms
Explain all abbreviations and terms that are nonstandard. Explain in context, in a table of abbreviations, or in a glossary.
#8 – Do staple attachments
Attachments such as graphs or computer printouts should be permanently affixed in the notebook (e.g., by stapling), and both the attachment and the notebook page signed and dated. If the attachment cannot be stapled, it should be placed in an envelope and the envelope stapled to the notebook page. The envelope and page should then be signed and witnessed making reference to the attachment being placed in the envelope.
#9 – Don't remove originals
No original pages should be removed from the notebook.
#10 – Do outline new experiments
When a new project or experiment is started, the objective and rationale should be briefly outlined (e.g., in a short paragraph or by providing a flowchart).
#11 – Do record lab meeting discussions
Relevant discussions from lab meetings should be recorded as should ideas or suggestions made by others. The names of the people making the ideas and suggestions should be carefully documented. This information may be important in establishing inventorship.
#12 – Do provide detail
Record test descriptions, including preferred operating conditions, control conditions, operable and preferred ranges of conditions, and alternate specific materials; test results and an explanation of the results; and photos or sketches of the results or the test device. Any conclusions should be short and supported by the factual data. Opinions or speculation about the invention should be avoided.
#13 – Do track notebooks
Ideally, each lab should maintain a catalogue of notebooks in which each notebook is assigned a number, and the name of the author of each notebook is recorded. Further, the date the author received the notebook as well as the date the notebook was completed and turned in should be recorded. Upon leaving the lab, the author should return all notebooks checked out by or to him.
#14 – Do save completed notebooks
All completed notebooks should be indexed (e.g., by number, by author, by subject area) and safely kept in a central repository, together with corresponding patent applications or patents. Lab notebooks that relate to inventions on which patents have been granted should be kept for the life of the patent plus six years.

Specifically, The TANF program was reauthorized under the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. The statute eliminated the funding for the HPB under section 403(a)(4). Nevertheless the Department is required under section 413(d) to annually rank State performance in moving TANF recipients into private sector employment. We are, therefore, requesting that States continue to transmit monthly files of adult TANF recipients necessary to calculate the work measures performance data. To the extent States do not provide the requested information, we will extract the matching information from the TANF Data Report. This may result in calculation of the work performance measures based on sample data, which would provide us less precise information on States' performance.
The Transmission File Layouts form provides the format that States will continue to use for the quarterly electronic transmission of monthly data on TANF adult recipients. States that have separate TANF-MOE files on these programs are also requested to transmit similar files. We are not requesting any changes to the Transmission File Layouts form.

Not an easy task
Roger has reached the next round in New York, dropping his first set of the tournament against America's John Isner. Roger shred the local's Grand Slam dream 6-7 (4-7), 6-2, 6-4, 6-2.
Our star took a set to work out the rocket-like serve of the super-sized former university student, who was playing in only his second ATP-level event.
"He's one of the best servers, it's hard to play guys like him," said Roger, who had zero unforced errors in the second and third sets. "I picked up his serve form the second set. But he's been playing fantastic the last few weeks."
Roger lost the opening set in a tiebreaker, then got down to business in dismantling the raw, unpolished game of Isner, who stands nearly 2.05 meters. The number one used his precision to glide past his third successive opponent ranked outside the top 100 this week. He committed just two unforced errors in more than two hours on court.
Roger won his 23rd match at the Open, where he was last beaten in 2003. Our top seed dominated after the first set, with errors piling up as fast as aces for the youngster. He will next face Feliciano Lopez from Spain.
What a match against Isner - I have to say I was so nervous after you lost the first set I didn't know if I could carry on watching !!!! It's amazing and fantastic how you turned it around from the second set. I will be staying up to watch
Then 0 unforced errors in the 2.and 3 set, amaizingggggggggg.
Your backhand : perfect.
What can I say?M
Enjoy and keep playing fantastic tennis
Looks like a night match v. Feli tomorrow. That will be special and the audience more polite. Good luck and have fun! Supporting you always,

Anne Hathaway Literature and Writing Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (line)
Quote #1
[…] My lover's words
were shooting stars which fell to earth as kisses
on these lips; […] (3-5)
This is a crazy double metaphor. Shakespeare's words are like shooting stars, and those shooting stars are like kisses on Anne's lips. Shakespeare's words are so powerful that they materialize into real tangible kisses, which Anne can feel. Intense!
Quote #2
[…] my body now a softer rhyme
to his, now echo, assonance; his touch
a verb dancing in the centre of a noun. (5-7)
Anne describes she and her husband's passion in terms of poetic devices: rhymes, echoes, assonance, verbs, nouns. It's like Shakespeare's writing comes alive.
Quote #3
Some nights, I dreamed he'd written me, the bed
a page beneath his writer's hands. Romance
and drama played by touch, by scent, by taste. (8-10)
Here, Anne seems to suggest that she's a character in one of Shakespeare's plays. Still, she's pretty lucky. Though other people only get to experience Shakespeare's words by reading his poems or seeing his plays, she gets the full-on sensory experience.

Post subject: 10 things to save money
Nowadays people complain that everything concernign kids is expensive but there are a good few ways to safe money. We spent that money we saved on good food and activities instead.
1. Breastfeeding
2. let the child sleep in your bed
3. buy a sling oder carrier instead of a buggy or pram (its more practical and gives the child warmth)
4. a child under 1year or even older doesnt need toys, its cheaper to make your own or use household things
5. buy clothes in a charity shop or get it from family
6. there is no need for a proper high chair, the simple ones which you can put on a chair are also usable outdoors.
7. Wait till your child is ready to eat, start weaning, weanign could also be skipped until the child shows interest in eating proper
8. cook your own meals
9. visit places where you dont need to pay money e.g. beach, playground (kids are happy with the simplest things)
10. Bye reusable nappies and wahs them at low temperature and add tea tree oil for disinfection
We done them all and it works!

lot of women breastfeed who can.
and a child needs there independence as well as you so think a lot of ppl chose for them to have there own bed
slings are gd but not for carrying round an 2 year old.
my daughter loved toys when she was under a year old and if there bought u know there safe.
clothes are cheap in shop. asda are very gd value for money u can get an outfit for £4
and i think a lot of ppl do cook their own meals.
i really dont think mothers have time to be washing disposeable nappies wish i did but with work a child and a house and dog to take care off wud be too much.

Thanks for feedback.
I know that a decision to be made if they need their own bed or not. Or if the money thing is important. For us it actualy wasnt but I enjoyed every minute of it. The child will get independence when its ready!
Children can be carried up to 20 kg or on some up to 25 kg. even at that age Kids were carried 100.ooo years ago.
I personally have no problem with washing my childs nappies. In the summer he runs around naked anyway. its just what you make of it and whats important. It worked for me.

well my child gained independence straight away.
and i certainly cudnt carry a child aswell as shopping etc.
hi Laura,
for me it wasnt the independence thing anyway. What attracted me wast the tiny baby sleeping next to me. I just love it, every little thing of it, the sme, the noises. But I can understand why many women choose to have hte baby in their own bed and not sharing a bed. Still, lots of women like to d just that but they are afraid that the babies will get a sleeping problem. But that is not true at all. At the end, its just what you feel is more important. We made up our mind and went along with all these things and im enjoyong motherhood since. And as beauy1 says its just a matter of getting used to. And thats for all the things. Once you you get a go with it, there is not a single problem. Again, if you are used to cary your child every day you wont feel a difference of you have to carry your shopping bags too. I got quite strong even without the gym. You can also decide to carry your baby for teh first year and get a stroller or something. Its still cheaper than bying a buggy.

Some very good money saving ideas there! But if you didnt want your child sharing your bed, if you have a large family of cousins, aunts, etc like me im sure someone would donate a moses basket/cot. My cousins little ones are getting older now so she's giving me 2 moses baskets great way to save money (Y)

some things money cant buy
like your back -once its done in its done in -id rather buy 2nd hand than carry a child about -its ok for going places where there s a lot of climbing etc. but not practical if you have to go back to work and cant coz ur backs knackered -living off benefits is not an option id choose to consider -so ill push baba
ur right about beech etc though -they have much more fun doing their own thing and using imagination

Some good ideas there with regards to park. Unfortunately for me disposable nappies are best. Yes I know they can save you money, but the initial outlay is so much. As I live month by month, week by week etc, its better to spend £10 in Asda on a box of 100 nappies.
I was advised not to let either of my babies to sleep in my bed, with the dangers of overheating, smothering. If you are not supposed to use a duvet in their cots until they are 1, then surely being in mum and dads bed with the duvet is dangerous?????
Also buying second hand for some things is fine. I got a second hand cot of a friend £5. Bought a brandnew mattress of ebay £6.01. I definitely saved money and am still doing so.
I think that there are lots of other things people can make savings on, in order to get safe items for their children and babies. For myself and husband the children come first, we go without if that's what it takes.

I like art. Even people who have only seen me probably suspect this is so, because I usually have paint on my face. I have chosen to follow my passion for art into college (although hopefully, at some point, out of it again and on to making art for a living). However, I am studying art in Northwest Arkansas, which, although a great place to live, has not historically been a great place to look at fine art (except in books, which are great anywhere). But something large is sounding in the depths, like a huge, beautiful, art-filled whale serenading us, calling out to us, whispering into our ears "Hey! Hey! Art! Look at it!"
I'm talking about Crystal Bridges, the new American art museum which has recently opened in Bentonville, Arkansas. I've been to it twice already, and am going back next week. And probably again next month. And you know what? I'm still excited! The first time that I visited, it was with a group of students in the Bachelor of Fine Arts Program from the University of Arkansas, and it was for opening day: November 11, 2011. I had been looking forward to going since I saw an architectural illustration for the museum in 2009 at the Fayetteville airport, so I was really excited. All the students were—we emailed back and forth about it, made arrangement to carpool, and, when the day finally arrived, three other girls and I drove up together. It was the birthday of the girl who was driving, so we kept joking that the opening was in honor of her. When we walked in, it was packed. The architecture is amazing there—it's built into a valley, and there are huge windows, so you can see out into nature from almost anywhere in the museum. And every room is filled with art by American artists, some of whom I (and the other students of the art department) have lived with and worked with and thought about and loved. I know that at least one of the students broke down and cried because he was so excited and amazed and astounded. If this sounds silly to you, imagine meeting your idol—like, for example, if you had studied and loved John Lennon for your whole life and then you got to meet him. That's what seeing this art in person was like for him, and for me. Personally, I teared up a little when I stood in a room with Sargent and Cassat and Eakins paintings because I knew that this museum, being here, is going to change everything.
I have been to a lot of art museums. I have probably been to more art museums than anyone I know. Like, probably 400,000 art museums.* And because I have been really lucky in my life in terms of travel—both through study abroad experiences and independent trips—I have had the opportunity to visit many of the greatest art museums in the world: the Louvre, the San Francisco MOMA, the Chicago Institute of Art, the Uffizi, the Vatican Museum, and many others. I will honestly tell you now that Crystal Bridges is not the most amazing art museum that I have ever been to.** But I think it may the first one that made me cry. Because here's the thing: we have this beautiful, free art museum less than thirty minutes away, and that is amazing. On opening day, and then again when I visited the week before last, it was amazing how packed the museum was with visitors, and how excited and bubbly everyone was. It has never been possible in Fayetteville to get into your car and drive less than about ten hours to get to world-class art, and, as far as I can tell, people love that they can now. And, although I have been blessed and seen some of the greatest art in the world, I was astonished and I continue to be astonished by my ability to go back over and over again. Here is art that I can go back to see repeatedly, and live with, and fall in love with again and again instead of experiencing it only once in a spectacular and overwhelming burst. Here is art that is available both to people like me, who love and study art, and to people who have never visited a museum in their lives. Here is a place where people with so many different levels of experience and opportunity can meet and learn and talk about art. And that's amazing, because I really believe that art can help us understand other people better, and can give us a peek into a past which we may otherwise never see.
Here are the things you need to know about Crystal Bridges as an art museum:
1. It has American art from all time periods, from many of America's most famous artists, including Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, John Singer Sargent, Norman Rockwell, and Mary Cassat. (Also some other totally awesome artists whose names you might not know if no one ever made you take five art history classes but whose art you might like.)
2. It is completely free to visit.
3. It. Is. Beautiful. (No, seriously, go look at a picture of it. Do it. Do it now. Look at that architecture, it's crazy.)
4. It has this picture of a man fighting a bear at it.
Speaking of fighting (but not, alas, with bears), it astounds me that some people were angry about this museum being built in Arkansas. The main theme of their argument seemed to be something along the lines of "Why are you taking this world-class art and putting it in the middle of nowhere, where civilized folks can't get to it?" I can offer them at least one answer: I think that having art here is important, and having the art accessible to a new group of people is even more important. Because I believe that we can all gain something valuable and beautiful by looking at art, regardless of where we live, even if it is simply the cathartic experience of looking at something lovely and interesting. Granted, I might be slightly biased, but that art is important to being human is something I honestly see as the truth.
We'll have to see where this museum goes, and the decisions it makes, because I'm not sure where their plans will take them. But there is one thing I am sure of: it's going to, and has already begun to, change everything: for me personally, for the University of Arkansas art department, for the state of Arkansas, and, if I'm not getting too crazy, the Midwest. The art department, which obviously affects me very personally, is already changing. The expectations are raising, both in what teachers expect of students and in what students (including myself) expect from themselves. We can learn so much just by studying art, but seeing art in person shows you so much more. From looking at art, we students can see how things are made, and we can learn new techniques and develop new inspirations from that. We can look at our predecessors, these artists who have become beloved and successful, and use them to galvanize and excite and expand our art and our outlooks. And that means everything to me.
The museum's simple presence is giving people a place to experience something new which residents of coastal states perhaps take for granted. It is allowing people to be excited about things they love and excited about things they know nothing about. And, as an artist, I am excited about how excited people are getting. I am excited about how people are talking about and thinking about and loving art! Because I love art so, so much, and I can't wait to see how this will echo out and expand and bloom and create something beautiful and spectacular and new.
I think it is going to be amazing.

The Goods: Edged in shootout
Déjà vu...
For the second consecutive season the Vancouver Canucks have dropped their season and home opener in a shootout, losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 Thursday night at Rogers Arena.
Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin scored for the Penguins in the shootout, both using patience to outwait Roberto Luongo before roofing the puck top shelf on the backhand, while Mikael Samuelsson and Alex Burrows were thwarted by the pad and glove of Marc-Andre Fleury in the one-on-one battle.
The Canucks were slow out of the gate allowing a pair of 2-on-1 chances minutes in, but it was a fluke goal that had the Penguins take a 1-0 lead midway through the first period; James Neal banked a shot off Luongo from a bad angle and in.
Matt Cooke put the Penguins up 2-0 and eventually 3-1 before Vancouver switched it into high gear and hit the comeback trail.
Maxim Lapierre had Vancouver's first goal, Keith Ballard scored late in the second and Daniel Sedin netted his first of the year to even the game with just over 12 minutes to play in the third.
After overtime solved nothing it was player versus goalie and the Penguins got the best of Luongo, who shouldered the blame for both shootout goals and Pittsburgh's first two goals of the game.
"I've got to be a little bit more patient there," said Luongo, referencing the shootout goals by Letang and Malkin. "I was trying to wait them out and they went to their backhand both times and they were able to get it over my pad. I've got to stop at least one of those."
Prior to the shootout, Luongo stopped 17 consecutive shots to close out the game. He finished with 25 saves overall.
The question: What was Keith Ballard doing up with the Sedins?
The answer: Who cares.
Late in the second period Ballard turned on the rockets and jumped up to join the Sedins for a rush down the ice. Daniel fed Henrik, who feathered a backhand pass to a streaking Ballard flying down the left wing. Without hesitation the Canucks defenceman snapped the puck past Fleury for what was easily the prettiest of his 36 NHL goals to date.
Coach Alain Vigneault said post-game he encourages his defencemen to jump up in the rush when they see an opening, Ballard took that to heart and hit the whole like I wish my fantasy football running backs would (yes, I'm talking to you Chris Johnson...).
"I moved the puck up and just kind of kept going and when I got to their blueline, I was open and Hank made a good pass," said Ballard, who finished a plus-1 with three shots and a blocked shot. "It's nice to get one early in the pre-season."
The score was Ballard's third with the Canucks, all of which have been scored at Rogers Arena.
This was the first time Vancouver had ever hosted Pittsburgh to open the season, but the second time the two have began the year against one another.
The Canucks faced the Penguins in the Steel City way back on October 6, 1976, when Vancouver was handed a 9-5 loss, despite a four-goal performance from Rick Blight.
The Canucks drop their season opener for the third straight year and fall to 15-10-4 all-time beginning the year at home. Overall Vancouver has now played six season openers in front of their fans on October 6, the last instance was in 1993-94 when the Canucks routed the L.A. Kings 5-2.
For what it's worth, Pittsburgh has proven to be a formidable foe to host to open year as the Penguins have now won four straight, although this is the first time they've done it without a goal from forward Tyler Kennedy.
God I missed hockey!" - @coreymenzies, pre-game.
Locksley's The Whip as Vancouver's goal song.
The superstar's streak began against Columbus on March 21, 2004.

Get ready to dust off your running shoes! There aren't many excuses for not giving athletics a try; most of the events in this sport simply require you to travel a certain distance or throw something using your own two arms and legs - no fancy equipment or training needed. The oldest of all sports, athletics hasn't gone out of style since the Ancient Egyptian times and is one of the most watched events in the Olympic Games.
Athletics involves competitive running, jumping and throwing. In today's modern times, a large number of athletic sports take place in a stadium, on a track or on a field. These include:
If you can't get to a track though, cross country running and road running are good alternatives (your run doesn't have to be 26 miles long like the marathon that graces our TV screens once a year!). The idea of cross country running might conjure up scarring images of freezing PE lessons, but taking part in the sport without it being sandwiched between Maths and Chemistry may just reveal to you a way to reduce stress, keep fit and enjoy the outdoors. All this with the added benefit of not breaking the bank...
There are lots of athletics clubs around the country you can join to really unleash your competitive side. Good running trainers are a must, as you don't want to do yourself any damage by tripping up in unsuitable shoes or not supporting your joints enough.
Yes, if you want to get back to the basics and work up a sweat! Athletics isn't a gentle exercise option, but it will get your heart rate going and deliver results. Thanks to the 2012 Olympic Games, athletics is fast growing in popularity - there's never been a better time to get involved in a sport that's lasted the test of time.
Men and women tend to compete separately in athletics, due to differing strength and fitness levels.

American Optimism
Celebrating the LA Art Scene1935-1980
One of LA's most dedicated
retro-modernist galleries, Trigg Ison Fine Art celebrated Pacific Standard Time
with "American Optimism,"a tacit declaration that LA's claim to 20th
century art predates the postwar. In pushing PST's boundaries back more than a
decade, the gallery established unbroken stylistic connections between pre- and
post-1945 practice, displaying several works each from the estates of painters
Ron Blumberg, Robert McIntosh, Kaorly Fulop, and Jirayr Zorthian and sculptors
Maxine Kim Stussy and Burton Freund. These were interlaced with examples,
figurative and (especially) abstract, by Oskar Fischinger, Jules Engel, Stanton
MacDonald Wright, Jan Stussy and Emil Kosa, among others. Notably included were
a couple of paintings by social commentator William Gropper, normally associated
with New York but working frequently on the Left Coast.

A streaming data system is traditionally used to handle a "stream" of arriving events. These systems are built to ingest fast-moving data feeds, but they lack context and state, which are necessary for decision-making. Unlike OLAP and OLTP systems, streaming systems are not optimized to store data or produce fast lookups.
VoltDB enables applications to use real-time streaming data to enrich user experience, optimize interactions, and create value. The scale-out, SQL ACID-compliant architecture ensures data durability and provides standard application interfaces (JDBC) with broad ad-hoc query capability. Applications can take action on real-time, per-event data as it is streaming in, then export it to the long-term data warehouse or analytics store for reporting and analysis. VoltDB is a platform that offers real time ingest capabilities to real-time applications, while supporting stateful buffering of the feed for downstream batch processing, meeting both sets of requirements.
VoltDB scales to "firehose" speeds and includes a built-in pipeline connector called "VoltDB Export". You can use VoltDB Export to stream data that has been processed by VoltDB to downstream systems. We ship export connectors to Hadoop (HDFS), HP Vertica, message queues like Kafka and RabbitMQ and local file systems. Export data can be formatted as CSV, JDBC rows or Avro messages. The export connector API is open source and is easily extensible if you need to connect VoltDB to other downstream components or format data using a different serialization.
Connect to VoltDB using a native VoltDB driver, by POSTing requests directly over HTTP or by using one of the pre-built loaders to connect to an existing data source.
|Native Drivers
|SQL Command Tool
|Hadoop OutputFormat
|Others: see Clients and Drivers
|Vertica UDX
Example: Use the VoltDB Kafka Loader to feed events from Kafka to VoltDB
More on the VoltDB Ecosystem
VoltDB has two loaders available. The VoltDB Kafka Loader, which makes it easy for VoltDB to ingest streams of data from Kafka message queues. Additionally the VoltDB JDBC Loader facilitates loading data into VoltDB from relational data stores allowing for efficient retrieval of all records from the specified table in a remote database. This can then be inserted into a matching table in VoltDB. This pattern is often used to install result data, such as computed user segmenting used for digital ad network applications, into your fast data pipeline.
VoltDB also includes a Hadoop OutputFormat implementation to import job data from Hadoop into VoltDB. This comes in handy when performing historical analysis and capturing the intelligence needed when making real-time decisions. For example, a digital ad decision-making application may use a user/household segmentation data set, computed in Hadoop, to target different demographics with specific ads.
This output format is used by our Hadoop connectors for both Apache Pig and Apache Hive. The connectors can be found in our github repository here.
VoltDB also built a Vertica UDx, a user-defined extension, that takes a Vertica result set and inserts loads it into VoltDB. You can download the UDx here.
Analyze and Decide
VoltDB processes each incoming event or request as a discrete ACID transaction. A transaction can be one or more SQL statements pre-defined in a DDL file, an ad-hoc SQL statement issued by the application, or a combination of SQL and Java encapsulated in a VoltDB stored procedure.
Use VoltDB's scale out share nothing architecture, fault tolerant, ACID, SQL database capabilities to:
- Filter duplicate events
- Sessionize real time click streams
- Enrich (denormalize) incoming data using reference tables
- Classify events in real time using analytics from Hadoop/Warehouses
Solving data-at-scale problems requires using multiple tools together — "one size does not fit all." VoltDB embraces this point of view and includes a native, high performance integration interface: VoltDB Export. Use VoltDB to process discrete events in real time (thousands to millions of events per second with per-event responses in milliseconds). Connect VoltDB processed data feeds to downstream pipleline components like Hadoop, Kafka or enterprise data warehouse (OLAP) systems using VoltDB export.
VoltDB export is fully parallel - it gets faster as you add nodes to the cluster. Export is fault tolerant, implementing at least once deliver to the downstream system. (With optional unique row identifiers to handle possible duplicates in case of fault processing.) If the connection between VoltDB and the destination is broken or interrupted, VoltDB buffers export data to local disks until export can resume ensuring durability.
|Common Export Use Cases
|Enrich incoming events with static metatdata or computed aggregates and export Avro data from VoltDB to Hadoop (HDFS).
|Evaluate conditions and rules for each incoming event and export alerts or notifications to Kafka, RabbitMQ, or Amazon SNS.
|Batch incoming data to local flat files (CSV) for collection.
|Filter duplicate events and send unique rows to HP Vertica or another OLAP DB.
|Re-assemble split messages using VoltDB and stream the transformed feed to SparkML.
Export is simple to use. Declare a VoltDB table as "EXPORTED" in the VoltDB DDL file and all rows inserted in to that table are handed to the export connector. Connectors serialize content to the required format (CSV, Avro, JDBC) and push it downstream to the destination system.
Example Export Configuration
Real-time analytics applications often provide a summary of an incoming data stream. These applications are used to discover real-time insights from fast flowing data produced by social media, mobile devices, sensors, infrastructure, and more. VoltDB offers high speed transactional ACID performance and the ability to process thousands to millions of discrete incoming events per second.
Implementing VoltDB to handle fast ingestion of data and interact on data to perform real real-time analytics provides the ability to create applications that can make data-driven decisions on each event as it enters the data pipeline.
VoltDB enables real time SQL analytics against fast streams of data. VoltDB analytics use cases fall into three categories: moving windows and aggregation of real time data for BI dashboards and external applications, per-event analytics to detect fraud or enforce policy, and caching of OLAP analytics to scale high concurrency querying and serving.
Connect to VoltDB using a native VoltDB driver, by POSTing requests directly over HTTP or by using one of the pre-built loaders to connect to an existing data source.

Example: Use the VoltDB Kafka Loader to feed events from Kafka to VoltDB
Analyze Streaming Aggregations
Materialized views calculate groupings and aggregations of data in their associated base tables. VoltDB supports materialized views that are scalable, fully transactional and always-up-to-date. Using materialized views, it is easy to maintain streaming aggregations of the real time data managed in VoltDB. Views are query-able using standard SQL. Use VoltDB's MPP shared-nothing architecture to scale-out aggregation and processing of fast event feeds and then use VoltDB's distributed SQL support to read database-wide rollups and groupings.
Example: Define a materialized view and query averages events per second. The complete application is available as the "windowing" example application distributed with VoltDB.
Table that stores values that are timestamped and are partitioned by UUID.
MATERIALIZED VIEW that pre-aggregates the sum and counts of the rows by second. This allows for fast computation of averages by ranges of seconds.
SQL queries and SQL functions for roll-ups.
Find the average value over all tuples across all partitions for the last N seconds, where N is a parameter the user supplies. Uses the materialized view so it has to scan fewer tuples. For example, if tuples are being inserted at a rate of 15k/sec and there are 4 partitions,then to compute the average for the last 10s, VoltDB would need to scan 150k rows. In this case, it needs to scan 1 row per second times the number of partitions, or 40 rows. That's a tremendous advantage of pre-aggregating the table sums and counts by second.
Per Event Analytics and Policy Enforcement
VoltDB real-time analytics processes each incoming event or request as a discrete ACID transaction. A transaction can be one or more SQL statements pre-defined in a DDL file, an ad-hoc SQL statement issued by the application, or a combination of SQL and Java encapsulated in a VoltDB stored procedure.
Use VoltDB's MPP, fault tolerant, ACID, SQL database capabilities to:
- Alert, alarm or notify based on the current event and real-time counters and aggregations.
- Monitor and enforce quotas, balance check and resource assignments in real-time.
- Evaluate rules on a per-event basis in combination with OLAP analytics for real time segmentation, scoring and mass personalization.
Support 100,000's of request evaluations per second with millisecond-level
response latencies. Integrate policy enforcement, alerting and monitoring all at
streaming speeds on a small VoltDB clusters with SQL and minimal Java. (For an
example, run voter example in the VoltDB download kit.)
Scalable Serving
VoltDB includes code-free bulk loaders to load report data from HP Vertica (using Vertica UDX) and Hadoop (using Hadoop OutputFormat). Cache OLAP report output in VoltDB and use VoltDB to support thousands of concurrent connections and SQL queries to the data. Each VoltDB server supports tens of thousands of concurrent connections. VoltDB's distributed SQL support enables further refinement, filtering and re-grouping of analytic outputs for high speed users and applications.

Integrate and Report
ODBC and JDBC Tool Integration
Support for standard ODBC and JDBC interfaces enable standard third-party tool integration like Microstrategy, Tableau and SQL. Download clients, drivers and monitoring integrations from the Community Clients and Monitoring page.
SQL Analytics
VoltDB supports a super-set of SQL-92 functionality. Our full SQL support is documented in the Using VoltDB Guide.
Learn more about VoltDB integrations and real-time analytics on our Integrations page.
Data has the greatest value as it enters the pipeline. Real-time interactions can power business decisions, such as customer interaction, security and fraud prevention, and resource optimization.
In order to process at the speed and latencies for real-time decisions, the database platform must support moving transaction processing closer to the data. VoltDB is a fast in-memory database that supports SQL and ACID compliance to provide the high-throughput and low-latency response your applications need to make decisions in real time.
VoltDB's high performance ACID SQL transactions enable scalable request-response style applications that scale from thousands to millions of requests per second on small clusters. Supporting thousands of concurrent connections with round-trip latencies in milliseconds (1-5ms @99.9%), VoltDB is an ideal platform for high speed policy enforcement, authorization, rule evaluation, and quota management.
Connect to VoltDB using a native VoltDB driver, by POSTing requests directly over HTTP or by using the ODBC or JDBC drivers. VoltDB provides synchronous and asynchronous interfaces for a variety of popular programming languages. VoltDB drivers include optimizations like built-in load balancing, connection caching, topology aware request routing and other sophisticated features to make writing high performance database applications simpler.
Example: Run a VoltDB stored procedure transaction from PHP
Example: Run a VoltDB stored procedure from Java
Analyze and Decide
VoltDB processes each incoming event or request as a discrete ACID transaction. A transaction can be one or more SQL statements pre-defined in a DDL file, an ad-hoc SQL statement issued by the application, or a combination of SQL and Java encapsulated in a VoltDB stored procedure.
Use VoltDB's MPP, fault tolerant, ACID, SQL database capabilities for:
- Real time personalization based on current context and OLAP segmentation data. Cache historical segmentation reports in VoltDB and combine that data with real time campaign strategies and per-event context to personalize free to play games and real time mass personalization marketing campaigns.
- Policy evaluation and enforcement in real time. Evaluate campaign selection rules in real time for each incoming event - hundreds of thousands of times per second.
- High speed authorization based on real time balances and per-user state. Maintain real time pre-paid balances and track micro-payments in real time.
- Resource optimization using per-event least-cost/least-used decisions. Use VoltDB's performance to track real time status of fast changing environments like financial position tracking, best bid offer tracking, and network utilization and QoS metrics for applications like global risk control and DDoS attack mitigation.
Real Time personalization
VoltDB's combination of high throughput performance, ACID transaction capabilities, and stateful, durable database tables make it easy to write high velocity request/response applications. Latencies in the 1-5ms range allow personalization parameters to be calculated in-line with user experience. See a complete example application demonstrating VoltDB for high velocity request-response style applications.
Each server in a VoltDB cluster can execute tens of thousands of transactions per second. VoltDB's linear scale-out architecture lets you scale your cluster to match your throughput requirements. Most VoltDB clusters are 3-20 nodes in size. (A 16 node cluster can run upwards of 6 million durable, ACID SQL transactions per-second.)
VoltDB includes built-in high availability and fault tolerance using active/active, synchronous replication within a datacenter. VoltDB supports asynchronous WAN replication for disaster recover across datacenters and availability zones.
Applications can connect and send requests to any server in the cluster. The VoltDB database takes care of data-routing, replication, high availability, durability - and provides applications a fully ACID, SQL based programming model that scales from thousands to millions of transactions per second.
We recently ran YCSB workloads to benchmark VoltDB performance.

DEAR AMY: My live-in boyfriend of five years has rekindled a friendship with a girl he knew in grade school.
Twice in the past week he invited her to our home to play pool, have drinks and soak in our hot tub.
He hasn't shared his plans to have her over until the last minute as I was leaving work; at that point, he then extended the invite for me to join them.
I feel as if I'm in second place to him hanging out with another woman in our home. I speak my mind about how it makes me feel, and the situation gets spun as if I'm crazy. He then won't speak to me for the rest of the night. Sometimes he spins negativity back on me so that he can be upset with me on something that is off-topic.
As they spend hours hanging out, laughing, drinking, playing pool, soaking in our hot tub until past midnight, I'm sitting in my room boiling under the surface. I'm upset and sad that he doesn't comfort me as they're having a blast.
She has a boyfriend, and my boyfriend reassures me that they would never cross the line. I trust that.
I try to speak to him, but most of the time he has had a few drinks, or he is drinking with his friends and insults me, or he shuts me down.
Should I give him space to be with her? Am I an idiot?
Lonely Girlfriend
DEAR LONELY: If you are living together, then he should call you first when he wants to invite someone over. If you agree to this, then you should hang out and enjoy the company, not seethe and sulk in your room. You might change the dynamic by forcing yourself to be awesome in their presence to see if you can enjoy this guest in your home. Also, the next time he wants to invite her over, perhaps you should extend the invitation to her boyfriend.
Do you want to live with someone who tests you, then drunkenly insults and belittles you? If you cannot alter the dynamic, you should reconsider your choice to be with someone who has so little regard for you.
DEAR AMY: I have a friend who likes to buy me dinner. Often I tell him that I will only eat with him if I can pay for myself, and that usually works. But there are other times when he refuses to let me pay. The reason I don't want him doing this is because he is struggling financially, and I don't want him wasting his money on me. Many times I tell him that I will pay him back, and I do. But other times I feel he might be offended if I do that. What can I do?
DEAR CONFUSED: You should tell your friend that you always want to split the check, no matter what. If this becomes a tussle at the table, you should trade off treating. If he has treated you, you should not attempt to "pay him back" later. That just extends this awkward moment. You and he could both economize by cooking at home for each other. If you don't know how to cook, this is a fun way to learn and share.

CALGARY -- Sean Monahan was 7 years, two months and 25 days old the last time the Calgary Flames lost to the Montreal Canadiens on home ice.
The 18-year-old did his best to extend that streak Wednesday.
Monahan had a goal and an assist, and Joey MacDonald made 33 saves when the Flames defeated the Canadiens 3-2 at Scotiabank Saddledome.
Curtis Glencross and 2011 first-round pick Sven Baertschi also scored for the surprising Flames, who have yet to lose in regulation through their first four games of the season (2-0-2).
Lars Eller and P.K. Subban scored for Montreal, who haven't won in Calgary since a 4-2 triumph on Jan. 5, 2002.
Monahan, who turns 19 Saturday, is helping his own cause too. The sixth pick in the 2013 NHL Draft is pushing to stay in Calgary beyond the nine-game audition allowed before the first year of his three-year, entry-level contract kicks in. The Flames haven't decided if he'll remain NHL or be returned to his junior team, the Ottawa 67's of the Ontario Hockey League.
Monahan tried to make up Calgary's mind against Montreal, making the most of a five-shot first-period for the Flames.
He opened the scoring finishing off his own play. Picking up a turnover in the neutral zone, Monahan dropped the puck to Lee Stempniak on a 2-on-1. Carey Price denied Stempniak's shot, but Monahan deposited the rebound to give Calgary a 1-0 lead at 9:09, extending his goal-scoring streak to three games.
He set up another with 1:27 remaining. After Jiri Hudler knocked Jarred Tinordi off the puck behind the Canadiens net, Monahan scooped up the rebound and quickly fed Baertschi at the far post for a tap-in and a 2-0 advantage.
The Canadiens tried to answer before the period ended but couldn't beat MacDonald. Travis Moen found Ryan White heading for the net, but the former Calgary Hitmen forward couldn't redirect the puck behind the Flames goaltender, who turned aside 12 Montreal shots in the period.
Montreal's Daniel Briere picked Shane O'Brien's pocket a foot in front of the crease and forced MacDonald to make a quick toe save 1:30 into the period. MacDonald then made back-to-back highlight-reel saves off Andrei Markov, stacking the pads twice to rob the Canadiens defenseman after stopping Subban's initial one-timer from the point with five minutes remaining.
The saves allowed the Flames to counter on the power play with Francis Bouillon in the penalty box for boarding. Drawing the initial penalty, Curtis Glencross capitalized on the man-advantage, redirecting a Dennis Wideman point shot between Price's legs at 16:22 to put Calgary up 3-0.
Subban would cut that lead to two on a power play for Montreal, one timing a feed from Max Pacioretty past MacDonald's blocker with 2:14 remaining in the period. Markov collected his 400th career NHL point with an assist.
Monahan went back to work in the third period, setting up Baertschi and Glencross for consecutive chances five minutes in, but neither forward could beat Price.
The saves helped Montreal pull within one when Lars Eller scored at 10:40. After MacDonald made an initial blocker save on a deflection, the Canadiens worked the puck to Subban at the point. His shot went wide, but the puck came off the end boards right to Eller parked on the opposite post to cut Calgary's lead to 3-2.
A pair of Subban rushes followed, but the Canadiens couldn't convert and the comeback fell short when the reigning Norris Trophy winner was whistled for cross-checking with 1:49 remaining.
