In my last blog, I discussed how today's Internet is vastly different than the Internet envisioned at the start of the net neutrality debate. As promised, I'd now like to get into some fictional examples that paint the picture of why this is such a polarizing topic for so many.
Example 1: Perhaps one day I will find that while I can make a Skype call from the office, it doesn't work from home. Then I find that I've lost access to all my Skype contacts who live in an area served by a certain phone company. When I go to Facebook it's the other way around - I can access my Facebook account from home, but not when I'm visiting a friend who lives in a different area with a different carrier.
Example 2: And then there's the guy who signed up for a year's worth of music streaming, only to find that his Internet service provider (ISP) just sold an exclusive deal to a competing music service so he can't access the music he paid for any more. Who's going to give him a refund?
Example 3: A home worker finds that she can no longer submit copy online to her editor from her home office, and instead has to go to Starbucks. And she can't use her corporate email account because it's hosted by Google, so she has to use the puny account from her ISP which won't allow large attachments.
Example 4: Maybe you're using your smartphone's GPS when you're out of town, and all of a sudden the maps don't update because you've come to a place where the roaming service provider has a deal with a different app provider, and your service is blocked. Then you worry whether you left your lights on at home, but you can't get access to your home automation server.
These scenarios all sound like nuisances and they can't possibly happen, can they? Surely they're a bit over the top? In principle, there's no reason why they couldn't. The ISPs fought for the freedom to pick and choose, and it's hardly likely they will simply forget about it. As we've said in previous blogs, we have confidence that this will all work itself out over time, with added competition and customer pressure. But to some extent, we probably need to learn to live with this sort of patchiness, unless all the ISPs block and favor the exact same edge-providers - which is not likely. In the next blog, we'll look at why a constantly evolving Internet makes the scenarios previously discussed unlikely.
In this strange new world where more and more power is drawn from business technology, companies are effectively straddling two paths on the road to innovation and transformation into digital enterprises. The first path is the heritage trail – with "legacy" technology forming the background. Here, extant technologies are transformed by core IT teams to provide more API-driven approaches. Legacy systems can restrict companies that are transitioning into digital enterprises. To truly become a lea...

Much of the value of DevOps comes from a (renewed) focus on measurement, sharing, and continuous feedback loops. In increasingly complex DevOps workflows and environments, and especially in larger, regulated, or more crystallized organizations, these core concepts become even more critical. In his session at @DevOpsSummit at 18th Cloud Expo, Andi Mann, Chief Technology Advocate at Splunk, showed how, by focusing on 'metrics that matter,' you can provide objective, transparent, and meaningful f...

Just over a week ago I received a long and loud sustained applause for a presentation I delivered at this year's Cloud Expo in Santa Clara. I was extremely pleased with the turnout and had some very good conversations with many of the attendees. Over the next few days I had many more meaningful conversations and was not only happy with the results but also learned a few new things. Here is everything I learned in those three days distilled into three short points.

As applications are promoted from the development environment to the CI or the QA environment and then into the production environment, it is very common for the configuration settings to be changed as the code is promoted. For example, the settings for the database connection pools are typically lower in development environment than the QA/Load Testing environment. The primary reason for the existence of the configuration setting differences is to enhance application performance. However, occas...

From the kernel to the shell, Windows Vista is a very different OS than XPSP2. How so?
Here, Charles interviews Architect Narayanan Ganapathy whose team of highly skilled engineers write the Windows IO system, driver frameworks and related technologies. So, what, exactly, is new in Windows Vista with regard to IO? What does it mean, exactly, to users and developers?
Tune in. Learn.
Oops, something didn't work.
ZippyV wrote:I know Windows is not a realtime os but why does it have the 'realtime' thread priority? When and why should this priority ever be used?
I'll second that about the hung I/O, it's so incredibly annoying when you click a cancel button and nothing happens! It's just unfortunate that in order to use it you would have to throw away XP compatibility but in a few years when everyone is using vista
this shouldn't be a problem.
As far as user mode drivers, I've moaned about this before but understand that as Charles says for an input device its really not going to matter and will improve stability etc. It's not going to matter for your mp3 player because presumably you're only going to upload a few files to your iPod etc and then close the tool so CPU usage here is irrelevant.
If on the other hand I am playing a game and I want to write stuff out to the display then I really want that to be as fast as possible. Any more CPU power I get including more cores etc I want that devoted to the game and not to drivers. Take Alan wake for example, its going to use four cores.
I can definitely see the argument for reliability over speed for business use, you would rather have all user modes there but in a gaming environment I would rather spend time buying hardware that I know has solid kernel mode drivers and then get the speed. Maybe two versions of the OS are required, one for gaming that is streamlined to have less background services e.g. no indexing etc, basically the gaming OS would be streamlined to run one game as fast as possible (like the Xbox and 360 OS's). You could then have a business version with all the great features mentioned in the video. With the coming of hardware virtualisation (run both versions at the same time) and more and more people having many machines in the home maybe this won't be an issue in times to come.
Anyway enough of my rambling thanks for the interview
Great video, Charles. The sound quality is so remarkable...crisp, clear...and I didn't hear a "bzzzzzpt" at the end of this video.Charles wrote:I like the idea of a wireless mic. Good thinking.
Nar Ganapathy wrote:Yes. In Vista you can use CancelIoEx to cancel asynchronous I/O requests. You can also use the older Win32 API called CancelIo. cancelIo has some restrictions that CancelIEx addresses.
aJanuary wrote:" From the video: "Vista the most advanced general purpose OS"!? I really don't think so, please look at the market!!!!!"
In terms of the range of hardware support, I think it probably is.
Someone on this thread mentioned that NT was based on Mach. Just thought I'd point out that this is not true. Mach was a research project at Carnegie Mellon, and while it is true that Richard Rashid was hired by Microsoft at one point, he was not involved
really in the development of NT aside from some minor research related to paging the kernel.
The Windows NT kernel was designed from scratch by Dave Cutler and his team at Microsoft, most of whom came from Digital Equipment Corp and were involved with the development of VMS (another Cutler design.)
This is a long held misconception, perhaps related to the fact that both operating system kernels (Mach and NT) were billed as microkernels, when in fact both kernels are better classified as "hybrid kernels."
But aside from being modern operating systems, they are not related.

Shadow on liver... (cancer)
A good friend of mine had a CT scan the other day and they found a
"shadow on the liver". Of course, he's worried about it being cancer.
Anybody out there know the odds of that? What else could it be? If
it is actually cancer, what are the odds that it's a liver primary as
opposed to it being a metastasis from someplace else?

Shadow on liver... (cancer benign)
I never saw the CT report. This is just a friend who told me that he
was afraid of possibly having cancer because they found a spot (I
think he said "spot") on his liver.
I am telling him to relax and not to worry for now. I was just
looking for some numbers to tell him that the odds of him having
cancer vs something benign are pretty low. I'm telling him that
anyway, but it would have been nice to be able to say "90 percent of
spots are benign - and to be able to say that such-and-such benign
something-or-another causes spots on the liver. In the meantime I
have found some sites on google that said that it was much more likely
to be benign...
After walking around like he's already dead, he's been relaxing a bit
about it now. He's got an MRI scheduled for next week and I imagine
that he'll know more at that point. As many have said, the waiting
seems to be the worst part...

Georgia legend and longtime NFL player Herschel Walker told USA Today he could still play running back in the NFL.
But don't get too excited. He's not about attempt a comeback.
"I can play in the NFL today," Walker told the nationally-distributed newspaper. "I couldn't take every snap. But running backs nowadays don't play every down. Now they send in the choir section. … Physically, I can still do it."
Walker, 52, has famously stayed fit and competitive since retiring from the NFL. Most recently, he has competed in mixed martial arts, winning both of his professional bouts, the last in 2011.
Walker, who runs several businesses out of Dallas, talked to USA Today reporter Jarrett Bell about the modern NFL, about the Dallas Cowboys under Jerry Jones and about former USFL team owner and longtime friend and confidante Donald Trump. Next week, he plans a big announcement about an e-Commerce venture involving his company, 34 Solutions, and Cinsay, according to the newspaper.
Walker has always demonstrated his physical prowess in unusual ways, performing in ballets and competing for the U.S. bobsled team. He has always been know for his grueling training regimen, claiming to do 1,500 push-ups and 3,500 sit-ups per day.
He was also pretty good at football. As a tailback at UGA from 1980-82, he was three-time All-American, led the Bulldogs to the 1980 national championship and won the 1982 Heisman Trophy and Maxwell Award. He rushed for 5,259 yards and scored 53 touchdowns in three seasons with the Bulldogs and remains the only player in NCAA history to finish in the top three in Heisman voting in all three of his collegiate seasons.
He left Georgia as a junior to play for Trump and the fledgling USFL's New Jersey Generals. He played in that league for three years before joining the Cowboys in 1986 and playing in the NFL for 13 seasons. His combined rushing totals of 13,787 yards for the USFL and the NFL would place him fifth all-time on the NFL's career rushing list

Another round for Agripino?
Story Text & Photos © 2012 by DR1
Jun 13 2012 06:15AM
- The internal crisis that has shaken the PRD can only be resolved if sectors from civil society, headed by Monsignor Agripino Nunez Collado, take on the task of mediating between the warring factions, says the director of the Department of Political Science at the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD), Freddy Angel Castro. Castro is advocating for the talks to save the PRD from splitting. In the past, internal conflicts have been resolved with the creation of new parties. Thus, the ruling PLD emerged when Juan Bosch split from the party, Jacobo Majluta left to form his own La Estructura, and likewise, Hatuey de Camps left to form the PRSD. In number of votes received in the past presidential election, the PRD is the country`s largest political party. "One of the possible roads is that they could create a negotiation commission, of conciliation, sponsored by Nunez Collado and other leading figures, because Dominican society itself does not need the destruction of its party system," he stated. Commenting on the decision by the Higher Electoral Court (TSE) on the suspension of the meeting of the National Executive Committee (CEN), convened by former President Hipolito Mejia and his followers, he said "the court acted in excess of the demands as it spoke out on what was at that time a probable convocation, due to the fact that it is not in their competence to impede the functioning of the organs of a party. " The PRD is split between the factions that back Hipolito Mejia, the party`s presidential candidate in the 2012 election, and Miguel Vargas, the party`s president. Read original at

In the News: Child Remains with Adoptive Family After Alleged Kidnapping
What would you do if you found out that the child you adopted and loved with all your heart had been kidnapped years earlier and wasn't yours to adopt?
That is exactly what happened to Liberty, Missouri couple Timothy and Jennifer Monahan. They adopted their then four-year-old girl in 2008 from Guatemala.
According to court records, there was evidence that the child had been kidnapped from her birth mother by a child trafficking ring.
Following court proceedings, Guatemalan officials announced that the couple will not be forced by the U.S. to return the child to her biological mother because neither the U.S. nor Guatemala has signed the Hague Abduction (a treaty regarding international kidnapping) at the time of the kidnapping. They signed it in January 2008.
Last August, a judge in Guatemala ruled that there was no evidence that the adoptive parents had any involvement or knowledge of the trafficking ring. The Associated Press reports that the child, Anyeli Hernandez Rodriguez, born October 1, 2004, is the second child of Loyda, a housewife and her husband, Dayner, a bricklayer.
According to the AP, the little girl disappeared November 3, 2006, as Rodriguez was distracted while opening the door to their house in a working class suburb, San Miguel Petapa. The birth mother turned to see a woman take the girl, then two-years-old, away in a taxi.
The child spent more than a year at an adoption agency before being adopted by the Monahans.
Child trafficking issues have put a stop by the U.S. State Department on all adoptions from Guatemala.
How does this make you feel? Would it make you less likely to adopt internationally or to adopt at all? What about the kids here in the states that need to be adopted?

Fact-checking Ted Cruz
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz promised voters he wouldn't go along with "business as usual," and since arriving in Washington, the Republican from Texas has made one attention-grabbing statement after another.
His talk has prompted at least one of his colleagues -- Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. -- to call his statements a new version of McCarthyism. (Joe McCarthy was a Wisconsin senator who made baseless accusations against people he thought were communists back in the 1950s.)
Cruz has said those attacks show he's doing something right.
PolitiFact Texas and the national PolitiFact team have been fact-checking Cruz as he deploys his rhetoric in defense of conservative causes.
When it comes to accuracy, the statements we've looked at show Cruz is tilted toward the negative side of the Truth-O-Meter.
• Out of 14 statements we've rated, seven have been either False or Pants on Fire.
• We rated three statements Half True.
• We rated nother four statements Mostly True or True.
Here are highlights from our fact-checks of Cruz's statements:
• Cruz said that Democrats told the Catholic Church that they'll use federal powers to shut down church charities and hospitals if the church doesn't change its beliefs. But PolitiFact Texas didn't find any statements of the kind from Democrats. Instead, the church claimed that potential fines from its refusal to adhere to new health insurance rules on contraceptive coverage might cause some affiliates to shut down. That's completely different. PolitiFact Texas rated Cruz's statement Pants on Fire.
• "We have a federal government that thinks they have the authority to regulate our toilet seats," Cruz said. We lifted the lid on this statement and found Cruz was right: The federal government thinks it has the right because it does, primarily under the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution. We rated his statement True.
• Cruz said that Chuck Hagel's nomination as defense secretary "has been publicly celebrated by the Iranian government." Actually, PolitiFact Texas found comments from a single Iranian foreign ministry spokesman, who said he hoped Hagel might lead Washington to become "respectful of the rights of nations." Experts told us that language falls far short of government-wide celebration. Hagel was confirmed as defense secretary. PolitiFact Texas rated Cruz's statement Pants on Fire!
• On gun control, Cruz claimed that "jurisdictions with the strictest gun control laws, almost without exception … have the highest crime rates and the highest murder rates." PolitiFact Texas looked at jurisdictions with restrictive gun laws and found many cities, states and nations with low crime and murder rates. The Truth-O-Meter rating: False.

CAPS 6 & Java MQ: Part 3 - HA Clusters with MySQL Cluster
By Louis Polycarpou on Aug 12, 2009
Why the delay?
I've had many requests recently to publish this final part of my blog series on using CAPS 6 with Java MQ for HA using MySQL Cluster. I didn't post anything for a while since the GA release of CAPS 6 did not support MQ 4.2 which is required for MySQL Cluster support (using NDB storage).
HA Clusters
HA clusters in Java MQ provide both service and data high availability, and requires the use of a HA relational database. The HA database (e.g. MySQL Cluster) is responsible for providing clustering, failover and recovery of the database servers / nodes and the JavaMQ brokers treat the database as a shared store.
You can read more about HA clusters here.
Key considerations when setting up HA clusters
- Do I need a master broker? No, there is no need for a master broker in a HA cluster. This also means that there is no single point of failure in a HA cluster configuration.
- How many brokers and database servers should I run per cluster? The number of brokers in a broker cluster and the number of database servers/nodes in your RDBMS cluster can be scaled independently of each other. There is, typically, a performance overhead associated with scaling the number of brokers and database nodes due to the additional data replication that is required between these nodes. An architect must be able to understand the impact on application performance and reliability of their system if brokers or database nodes fail and the necessary recoery time when they are restored.
- What is 'split-brain' and how do we solve it? A split-brain condition occurs if brokers/nodes within the same cluster cannot communicate with each other but are still able to process requests from their JMS clients. This is a problem in JMS systems since it is normally important that queue semantics are upheld - i.e. the 'split' cluster must still ensure that there is once only delivery of a queued message to a single client consumer. For Java MQ, this can be achieved in the message store (i.e. HA database). Specifically, if MySQL Cluster is used, a management server (a form of 'quorum') can be used that each database server in the cluster connects to and is deemed to be active only if it can see the management server.
Configuring Java MQ HA clusters for CAPS 6The Java CAPS configuration for using HA clusters is the same as it is for conventional clusters since there are no additional client-side parameters to configure. It is necessary that the jms-service type is changed to REMOTE mode when running clustered brokers.
- Install and configure MySQL Cluster 6.x MySQL Cluster 6.x is currently supported. The MySQL server needs to be configured to use the NDB storage mechanism for clustered support on at least two hosts with a separate host for the management server 'quorum'. It is possible to install the management server on one of the MySQL server nodes but a separate server is recommended for true redundancy:
- Host 1: MQ 4.2 or greater, MySQL Server/NDB Storage
- Host 2: MQ 4.2 or greater, MySQL Server/NDB Storage
- Host 3: Management Server (can run on host 1 or 2)

Motorists traveling on Route 3 Westbound are experiencing major delays this evening.
There have been multiple accidents westbound, one in the right lane and another in the left lane approaching the Hackensack River bridge, according to staff writer Terrence T. McDonald, who is stuck in the traffic.
According to Secaucus Police, there have been three separate accidents this evening on the westbound lanes of the highway. All three accidents involved two cars. No injuries have been reported.
As of 7 pm, crews are still working to clear an accident on the westbound lanes at Meadowlands Parkway before the Hackensack River Bridge. Police hope to have the area cleared shortly.
Traffic cameras on 511nj.org show traffic moving at a crawl westbound.
Callers to the newsroom have said the backups on Route 3 Westbound extend all the way back to Tonnelle Ave/Route 1&9.
Motorists are urged to use alternate routes such as Route 7 or Route 46 to avoid the heavy residual delays in the area.

Chapter 2
Red cried out and Blue let out a yell. Vio jumped a little and even Shadow stopped laughing."Who turned out the lights?" Red asked.
"Well I couldn't have." Blue said, as Red was squeezing him too tight for him to move. Shadow put his arms up innocently.
"I'm all the way over here, so I didn't do it." he said. Vio shook his head.
"Wasn't me either." he said, getting up and feeling his way across the room to find his bag. He picked it up and rummaged through it, pulling out a small LED book light. Flipping it on brought relief to the four boys.
Vio looked around. "Looks like the whole areas out of power." he said, looking out the window and seeing that there were no lights on down the street.
"Well that's just great," Blue said, "that means we won't have power till morning at least!" Red looked around the dimly lit room.
"Hey guys..." he started.
"Yeah?" Vio asked.
"Where's Green?" Red asked. Vio flashed his light around the room.
"He's not here." he said.
"Then where is he?" Shadow asked. Blue's ear twitched a bit.
"Guys pipe down!" he said, and the room went quiet. He strained to hear, but there was a strange noise coming from the kitchen. He motioned for the others to quietly follow him and he led them into the kitchen.
They entered the kitchen in a line, Blue leading, followed by Red, Vio, and Shadow. They all looked around the room. Blue felt something warm on his boot, and when he looked down, he dimly saw that he was standing in a pool of warm, thick liquid.
"What the heck!?" he said, stepping back and tripping over Red's foot. Vio caught him before he fell and, once Blue was standing again, shone his light at the floor. They all gasped. Blue's foot was covered in deep red blood. Red nearly screamed, but Vio covered the boy's mouth.
"If you're too loud, they may hear you!" he whispered so that the boys could hear.
"Who'll hear?" Red asked.
"The people who left that on the floor." Blue said, pointing at the place he had stepped. Shadow started going through drawers. He rummaged around until he found a flashlight. He checked to see if the batteries worked, shining it on the floor. The blood lead to the cabinet under the sink. Vio walked over to the sink and opened the cabinet doors. Nothing but cleaning supplies and piping.
"Nothing." he said, closing the doors and returning to the others. "Let's go back to the living room." he said. The others agreed and returned to the other room.
Walking into the living room, the boys all sat down. Vio and Shadow sat on the couch, and Red and Blue sat in the chair.
"Guys... I'm scared." Red said. Blue nodded.
"Yeah this is starting to creep me out a little."
"We need to find Green fast." Vio said.
"He probably went to the bathroom for a drink or something and stayed in there," Shadow said, "he'll be back any minute now."
"Then whose blood was on the floor?" Blue asked.
"Whoever it belongs to, it's not Green's! I saw him get up a few minutes into the story." Shadow replied. Vio got out his cell phone and started pressing buttons on it. Putting it up to his ear, he waited patiently.
"Who're you calling?" Red asked. Vio put a finger to his mouth.
"Green of course." he said. The boys faintly heard The Song of Time coming from upstairs. Vio hung up before Green's phone could start playing the recorded message.
"So he went upstairs to go to the bathroom?" Vio asked, getting up and walking over to the stairs. Shadow shrugged and followed. Red followed Shadow and Vio, but before Blue could join them, he was grabbed around the waist and his mouth was covered.
"Mmmmmph!" he tried yelling for help, but the other three didn't notice that their blue-clothed friend was no longer with them.
As the trio walked upstairs, Vio called Green's phone once again. The same song played, a little louder as they were closer. Reaching the top of the stairway, Vio led the way down the hall. There were two doors on the right, and one on the left. These rooms were mostly used as bedrooms, as the boys had many sleepovers and had decided it would be easier to have bedrooms for when they came over rather than them always bringing their own bags. Red and Blue normally shared the room farther down the hall on the right, Green slept alone in his room on the left, and Shadow and Vio would share the room closest to the stairs. The phone was apparently in Green's own room, so the boys tiptoed down the hall, trying not to make any noise, and went into Green's room. Shining the light around, Red saw that Green's phone was on his bed.
"I found it!" he said, picking it up.
"But where's Green?" Shadow asked.
"What the hell do you think you're trying to do sneaking up on me like that!?" Blue asked. Green was standing across from him in the living room.
"Well sorry! This was all Shadow's idea! Now hush! This is your job." he said, whispering in Blue's ear what to do next. Blue crossed his arms, hating to be bossed around, but reluctantly went upstairs.
'Something's not right....' Vio thought, looking around the room. "We're missing Blue." He said aloud.
"What? But he was just with us!" Red said. Suddenly, the three heard a noise coming from Red and Blue's room.
"What's that?" Vio asked. Red gave Vio the flashlight and took his book light.
"I'll go check it out." He said, trying to look brave. Shadow nodded and sat down on Green's bed.
if you want to I guess you can." Vio told him, seeing that Red was trying to be strong. Red nodded and walked out into the hall. He looked around in the hall and went to his room, where the thumping noise continued. Walking into the room, he shone the light around. The door behind him slammed shut and he squealed a bit. He turned to the door and was caught by someone.
"Shhh! Don't worry it's just me." he heard, recognizing who it was. He nodded and the hand was removed. Blue whispered in his ear what to do and left the room, walking to Shadow and Vio's room. Red ran over to Green's room and banged on the door.
"Vio! Shadow! Open up!" He cried before running and quietly heading downstairs.
Vio heard Red and ran to the door and opened it quickly, but no one was in the hall. Vio sighed, closed the door, and sat down on the bed again.
"Looks like it's just us now." Shadow said, laying down and putting his hands behind his head. Vio shone the flashlight in Shadow's face, causing him to sit up and rub his eyes, his night-vision now ruined.
"What was that for?" He asked.
"Are you not concerned? Green, Blue, and now Red are all gone. Who knows which of us is next." Vio replied. Shadow shrugged.
"Who cares? Our time will come when it should, whether it's tonight in this house or if it's fighting Ganon." He said.
There was a thud heard from downstairs.
"Did you hear that?" Shadow asked. Vio nodded and got up, Shadow following. Walking into the hallway, they began to descend down the stairs. Someone reached and grabbed Shadow my the arm, and he stopped.The two boys returned to Shadow's room for the final part of this plan.
"You ready?" Blue asked Shadow. Shadow nodded and morphed an area on his shirt to look as if he had been stabbed with a dagger. Blue watched and winched a little, as it was rather unusual for a person to be able to do that. Shadow laid himself on the floor and got into position. Blue left the door slightly open and quietly went downstairs.
Vio was looking around downstairs when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He swung around and hit Blue on the cheek with the flashlight. Blue fell on the floor.
"Ack! What the heck was that for!?" Blue asked, rubbing his cheek and standing up.
"Sorry Blue! Are you ok?" Vio apologized.
"Fine, no thanks to you." Blue mumbled.
"Where did you go off to?" Vio asked.
"Well, this dude grabbed me and held me back," Blue said, "but I overpowered him and ran to find you guys. And now here I am."
"Hang on... where's Shadow?" Vio asked, looking around.
"You came down alone." Blue told him, crossing his arms.
"But he was right behind me
" Vio said slowly. He ran back upstairs, not waiting for Blue to follow. He ran back to Green's room, found no one there, ran to Red and Blue's room, found nothing again, and finally to his and Shadow's room. He froze as soon as he entered, seeing Shadow lying on the ground with a dagger in his chest.
Vio ran into the room and kneeled by shadow.
"What did they do to you
" he said quietly. There was no answer from the shadow. "This was all because of that stupid book. Why did you read it, Shadow, why?" he asked the lifeless boy.
Again, there was no answer. Vio got up slowly, and went to the door, as he was closing it behind him he heard something from inside the room. What was it
was it
Yes it was! Vio turned and walked back into the room to se none other than Shadow himself sitting up and laughing.
"HAHAHAHA! YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN YOUR FACE!!" He said before bursting out in laughter again. Thumping came from the stairs as Blue, Red, and Green came into the room. Green seemed angry.
"Shadow! You ruined it!" He said angrily. Blue turned to Green.
" But why didn't you fill us in beforehand? You freaked the heck outta me downstairs! " he yelled.
"Because if we had told you we woulda had to have told Red and we all know Red stinks at keeping secrets." Green replied. Red smiled a bit, then realized it was an insult.
hey!" he said. The other three laughed.
Vio was still a bit upset.
"So why'd you do this to me again?" he asked, tapping his foot. Shadow stood up and morphed himself back to normal.
"Because you skipped on us to finish a stupid book." He said. "it was just that easy to do. I must admit, the storm causing the power outage was pretty sweet considering it was unexpected, but the rest of it was all me and Green." He said.
"And the blood in the kitchen?" Blue asked.
"I put some water on the boiler and added food coloring to make it look like blood," Green explained, "then added some thickener to make it like blood. While Shadow told the story, I went to the kitchen and spread it on the floor." He finished.
Vio shook his head. And looked at his watch. " It's almost midnight already." he said. Suddenly, the lights flashed on.
"Hey the powers back!" Red said happily.
, "Let's go back downstairs and clean up the blood." Shadow said, starting downstairs. The four heroes followed.
The boys stayed up until about four in the morning., except for Red, who fell asleep quickly. The four others played awhile on the Wii, then played a game of 'Truth or Dare' followed by another, but not nearly as scary, ghost story from the book Shadow had. Then they had a snack and retired for the night. When they woke up, they ate some breakfast and messed around the rest of the day. Little did they know what was in store for them.

Q. We want to invest for the future. In 2012, I earned $120,772 and my husband earned $76,759. Do we qualify for a Roth IRA? Or are we better off with a traditional IRA?
A. Saving for the future is smart, and the Brain is glad to hear it's part of your plan.
As of 2013, the maximum that an individual can contribute to an IRA or a Roth IRA is $5,500, with an additional $1,000 catchup contribution permitted for individuals age 50 and over, said Marnie Aznar, a certified financial planner with Aznar Financial Advisors in Morris Plains.
You can only contribute up to the amount of earned income you received, or that your spouse received if you're contributing to a spousal IRA.
"The income limit for contributing to a Roth IRA has increased in 2013 to $188,000 for married couples filing jointly, and to $127,000 for singles and individuals filing as head of household," Aznar said. "The amount you can contribute starts to phase out if your adjusted gross income is $178,000 or more for joint filers and $112,000 for singles and heads of household."
The IRS uses your adjusted gross income, or AGI, to determine your eligibility. This includes all earned income less certain adjustments, such as HSA deductions, one-half of self-employment tax, deductible retirement plan contributions, alimony paid, she said.
Based on the information that you provided, your combined earned income was $197,531 in 2012, which means you're out of luck for a Roth in 2012, she said. That's based on 2012 income limits, which were $173,000 to $183,000 for a married couple filing jointly.
If you or your spouse made pre-tax 401(k) contributions in 2012, that would lower your taxable income, and it's possible you'd qualify, she said.
If you don't qualify for the Roth, you can still contribute to a traditional IRA.
There is no income limit for contributing to a traditional IRA, but there are income limits for deducting these contributions. And, if you have a workplace retirement plan, the deduction for a traditional IRA contribution is phased out if your modified AGI is $112,000 or more for marrieds filing jointly for 2012, or $69,000 or more for individuals, said Laura Mattia, a certified financial planner with Baron Financial Group in Fair Lawn.

Probably not
If you're like me, and feel compelled to play any superhero game you can get your hands on, redbox this one because you can easily beat it in a few hours, and it's definately not worth paying full price. The story is aweful, the gameplay is terrible, the illusion of choice is laughable, and the powers are lame. The only game I have every come across that is worse than this was Aquaman for the gamecube. Only play this game if you love the X-men so much that you don't care about aweful gameplay.

The former Charleston arm of the fallen commercial real estate giant Grubb & Ellis expects to expand into Columbia and Greenville under a new relationship with a Canadian company.
Toronto-based Avison Youngs first South Carolina office opened for business in Mount Pleasant on Monday, led by local industry veterans Chris Fraser and Jeremy Willits.
Fraser, who is chairman of the Charleston County School Board, was named principal of statewide operations. Willits is managing director of the Long Point Road location, which has nine commercial real estate brokers and three support staffers.
The group has a solid reputation for great client service and will be instrumental in helping Avison Young expand our business throughout the Southeast U.S., said Mark E. Rose, chairman and CEO. South Carolina is home to several important corporate headquarters and presents a strong regional growth area for our company.
Fraser, Willits and the other brokers who switched to Avison Young had been with Grubb & Ellis|WRS. Independently owned WRS recently terminated its affiliation with Grubb & Ellis, which filed for bankruptcy earlier this year and has since been sold.
The firm is now aligning itself with an expansion-minded Avison Young, which has tripled in size over the last three years to 31 offices, including newly opened branches in New York City and San Francisco.
Fraser said one of his goals is to expand the franchise into South Carolinas industrial hub in the Upstate in the next year or two.
We think theres an interesting line between what happens in the Greenville area and what crosses the docks in Charleston, he said.
The deal with Avison Young also calls for the Mount Pleasant office to open a branch in the Columbia market, he said.
It gives us the opportunity for the first time to have a statewide presence, Fraser said.
While Avison Young is a newcomer to the state, the roots of the local office go back to a Charleston real estate company that Fraser started with former business partner Miles Barkley in 1989. The firm aligned itself with the Grubb & Ellis franchise in 2006 and was sold to WRS three years ago.
After a long slump brought on by the last recession, the commercial real estate market in the Charleston region is starting to show signs of a recovery, Fraser said.
Vacancies are tightening in all major property sectors, and buying activity is up, he said.
People are optimistic again, Fraser said. There are so many positive vibes going on in this community right now.

In an earlier article I wrote about my "favorite question ever," but I might have to take that one back because one reader managed to top it recently.
With a topic near and dear to our hearts: Brick Breaker. I guess since Leveraged Sellout featured it I should have expected some questions – I just didn't think it would take this long.
1. I just tried Brick Breaker on my friend's Blackberry the other day but hated it and could not get past the first level. Am I doomed to never get into investment banking?
It's ok if you don't like Brick Breaker, but how could you not even get past the first level? The beginning levels are pretty easy.
If you can't even get past level 1, you'll have no luck working all weekend.
2. Having perused your site, I would find our Singapore client to be most fitting. I look forward to your response.
What does this mean? I get inquiries like this all the time that make no sense.
3. Can you put up rankings of all the different groups within banks? I want to see the most prestigious groups everywhere.
I stay away from "ranking" places as much as possible because things change very quickly and because you should be more concerned with getting in wherever you can as opposed to only focusing on a few groups – especially in this market.
4. What would you invest in right now? Do you have any tips?
Didn't you read Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Banker? We don't have any "hot stock tips."
I don't invest in the stock market at all because I can generate higher returns elsewhere.
5. What is the worst thing you've ever seen on a resume?
The worst resumes I see are from college kids who somehow have 3-4 pages describing their "careers."
I've had VP and MD-level customers before and with 10+ years of experience their resumes are not this long – so why is yours?
6. I'm about to get an interview, but they want to see my resume first. I'm nervous because I haven't had any finance experience – should I write on my resume that I can work hard and am very enthusiastic?
No, this is a really bad idea. Remember that "Show, don't tell" rule you learned in elementary school? The same applies to resumes.
More resume mistakes to avoid.
7. I've had 2 banking summer internships before, but in my most recent one I did hardly any modeling and didn't do much real work. Should I leave out the most recent one so I don't get questions on it in interviews?
If you've had a summer internship, you need to list it – you'll get lots of questions on what you did during the summer otherwise. I would keep it in but make it clear upfront that it was more of a qualitative role.
Background Checks
8. I had a part-time gig a few years back where I got in an argument with the manager once. Will that show up in my background check?
Unlikely, unless you listed him as a reference… most of the time they just verify that you worked somewhere over a specified time period.
9. My GPA has changed by 0.2 between when I interviewed and now. Am I going to get in trouble during my background check?
Unlikely. They understand grades change somewhat between when you interview and when you start, and 0.2 is within the "acceptable" range.
10. I've been getting a poor response from alumni I've contacted – what should I do?
Assuming you are not saying anything foolish in your emails, you should try to expand beyond alumni and think outside the box to come up with other contacts in the industry… leave no stone unturned when it comes to networking, even if it seems completely random.
11. I have a finance job, but I don't know how long it will last – I'm thinking of going to New York to do some networking, do you have any tips?
You can go if you want, but I would consider other regions as well… NY has been particularly hard-hit since it's the center of everything finance-related. Make sure you have enough meetings lined up to make it worth your time (i.e. not just 1 or 2) and look beyond the larger banks.
12. I am not getting a response from one of my contacts anymore after several emails – what should I do?
I would call him if you have the number – that tends to get peoples' attention more than email, which is easily ignored. Failing that, I would make a note to reach out to him every few weeks and check anyway – persistence plays a huge role in networking.
13. I have an information session coming up for a large bank. How can I do my best to stand out?
Try to speak with as many people as you can and be yourself. Focus your questions on them rather than talking about yourself and avoid too much mention of work or anything finance-related… they hear more than enough about those topics all day. Also don't get drunk or abandon your common sense.
14. I have a list of boutiques I want to interview at, what is the best way to contact them if I have no relationship?
Cold-calling is the way to go, forget about email. Emails get ignored, whereas phone calls are more difficult to ignore and help you connect personally with whomever you're trying to reach.

The terms associated with birds and animals is quite confusing, so this list might help clarify some misconceptions. The following definitions are taken from a number of sources to clear the distinction of various classifications of birds (and animals).
Species"Species" is defined as a single distinct class sharing specific DNA and physical features that differentiate them from other species. Species are uniform in appearance (unless other factors, described later, apply) and produce offspring with the same characteristics, appearance and DNA structure. An example of a species would be a Gouldian finch.

Some of the contestants at the event.
Doha: The Sheikh Jassim bin Mohamed bin Thani Quran Memorisation and Recitation Competition for non-Arabic speakers started at Rijeka Islamic Centre, Croatia, yesterday.
About 100 males and females from Balkans countries, including Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia and Macedonia, will contest in three stages.
For the first time, the contest is being held outside Qatar, at the centre, built with support of the Father Emir H H Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. It is the largest and one of the most beautiful Islamic centres in Europe. Preparations were made in cooperation with Islamic Society of Croatia.
The opening ceremony was attended by local officials, religious scholars, heads and representatives of Islamic chiefdoms in the participating countries and contestants.
Nasser Youssuf Al Sulaiti, Chairman of the Organising Committee for the contest and head of the Qatari delegation, said the competition outside Qatar aimed at promoting the Arabic language among non-Arabic speakers, developing their ability to memorise the Quran and enlightening them to perform worship in the way acceptable to Allah.
He said the competition also seeks to strengthen the Muslims' role in their communities as messengers of peace, love. QNA

KD to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports on the Lakers: "People outside, fans, media, of course they are going to say [the Lakers are the favorites] because on paper they have the best lineup in the league. But you still got to play the games. We respect everybody. We are going to go through the league respecting everybody as well. We already view ourselves as an elite team, but we have to prove it again. Last year is over with."
Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel with some reckless speculation: "Are the Magic looking to hook perhaps the NBA's biggest fish four years from now? Yes, it's difficult for fans to even digest how long a wait that might be. But wouldn't the wait for Kevin Durant be worth it? Now the knee-jerk reaction might be this: Durant? Durant isn't the kind of kid who would ever abandon Oklahoma City as a free agent (after the 2015-16 season.) He's the leader of a great, young team now. And surely, the Thunder aren't about to let him get away."
KD talking about his faith: "It comes from my family. I went to a Christian school. I was always intrigued simply about how we got here. Why do we do the things we do? Who made us like this? My mom always sat me down and talked to me and I have spiritual teachers that help me out. I'm not perfect at all by any means. I've got a long way to go to become closer to the Lord but hopefully I can continue to stay on the path. I might take a few steps forward and take a couple steps back and take some steps forward, but I want to get better."
Oh boy, James Harden at a strip club (careful, pictures NSFW). On you mark, Jenni.
Mark Cuban was pumped to see "Thunderstruck."
"Thunderstruck" has moved up to 29% on Rotten Tomatoes.
George Lang of NewsOK reviews KD's movie: "This is a love letter to the Thunder and especially Durant, and young viewers will enjoy seeing the NBA superstar interacting with relatable teen characters. Nothing about "Thunderstruck" is especially original, but Durant's appeal as a good-natured role model at the top of his game comes through even when the comedy elements are strictly junior varsity."
John Rohde: "If the Thunder can offer the max, presumably it will do so before the deadline to avoid any unnecessary distractions during the season. This leads to the following conclusion: If Harden goes to market, he won't return in 2013-14. The pressure for Harden stems from whether he will remain in OKC or be drawn back to the desert."
Matt Moore of PBT: "Durant will be great no matter what, barring injury, knock on wood. He's going to get better in every phase of the game. But the kind of youthful "golly, we're just excited to be here" enthusiasm in the Thunder locker room is already shifting to a more focused, determined desperation to win the title, to get over the hump. Most stars don't win a title before 27. Experience wins, traditionally, in this league. The Thunder are trying to buck that, and they have a great chance. But they have to get past that final hurdle. They needed to make the playoffs, then they needed to advance in the playoffs, then they needed to make the Finals. They've done that, but the last step is hardest to climb, especially with how the Heat have built themselves and the Lakers' standing in the West ready to cause mayhem."

OAKLAND, Calif. - The plastic that was taped across the lockers in Oakland's clubhouse came down and the champagne that was on ice went back into the cooler.
The Athletics will have to wait at least one more day before celebrating a playoff berth.
A year after capturing the American League West title on the final day of the regular season, Oakland lowered its magic number to one for clinching a second straight division crown, beating the Minnesota Twins 9-1 on Saturday.

"It's something where we know we've got to take care of what we do, and if we win it's going to take care of itself," said Oakland's Jarrod Parker, who allowed one run in six innings. "Right now we got to do what we do. We know it's right there. If we handle what we do and we win games, it's going to happen."
Alberto Callaspo homered for the A's and tied his career high with four hits. Baldwin High School graduate Kurt Suzuki hit his second homer since joining the team late last month.
After the game was over, most of the A's stayed in the clubhouse to watch the ending of the Texas Rangers' game against the Kansas City Royals. About 100 fans lingered in the stadium as well, viewing the game on the Coliseum's two big scoreboards. When the Rangers recorded the final out to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, the celebration was put on hold.
Oakland can still clinch at home by beating Minnesota in today's series finale.
"It's the best thing that can happen for any team, not just for us, to qualify in your home city," said A's slugger Yoenis Cespedes, who hit his 26th home run of the season in the eighth inning.
Parker (12-7), allowed only two runners past first base and didn't walk a batter for the fifth time this season.
The Twins' Pedro Hernandez (3-2) gave up six runs in two innings.
"Any mistake you make right now they jump on you," said Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire. "It's like piranhas with blood in the water. They add on and just keep swinging. Every time we made a mistake they just kill you. They are really getting after it."

|The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery
The Power Plant is one of Canada's leading public galleries devoted to contemporary art, located in Toronto, Ontario at Harbourfront Centre. As a non-collecting art gallery, The Power Plant has presented new and recent work by numerous Canadian artists along with their international peers.
Over its history, the program has included ambitious thematic exhibitions and major solo exhibitions by Canadians Colin Campbell, Janet Cardiff, Peter Doig, Stan Douglas, Geoffrey Farmer, Rodney Graham, Annie Pootoogook, Steven Shearer, Michael Snow, Derek Sullivan, and Althea Thauberger. Solo exhibitions by international artists include those by Fiona Banner, Liam Gillick, Douglas Gordon, Thomas Hirschhorn, Mike Kelley, Glenn Ligon, Adrian Piper, Ryan Trecartin, Francesco Vezzoli, and Carey Young.
Since its foundation in 1987, The Power Plant has produced more than forty publications,[3] as well as public programming such as symposia, performances, screenings, and the International Lecture Series that further the dialogue around contemporary practices.
The Power Plant is a registered Canadian charitable organization supported by its members, sponsors, donors, and funding bodies at all levels of government.
The Power Plant was initially established in 1976 as the Art Gallery at Harbourfront. The original Power Plant with its companion building The Ice House (today the Enwave Theatre), was constructed in 1926 to house the heating and refrigeration equipment for the massive Toronto Terminal Warehouse (now Queen's Quay Terminal). Part of the Federal Government's acquisition of a 92-acre lakefront site, The Power Plant was in operation as an actual power plant until 1980.
In 1980, Harbourfront Corporation provided the Art Gallery at Harbourfront with the opportunity to renovate the 1920s powerhouse as its new home. Peter Smith of Lett/Smith Architects was chosen to undertake the renovations, the design of which has taken into consideration both the history of the building and the demands of contemporary art.[4] The powerhouse was then converted to an art gallery and opened to the public on 1 May 1987. The Power Plant is recognizable by its smokestack and exterior façade which have been restored to maintain reference to its history.
Commissioning Program[edit]
In 2006, The Power Plant launched an annual Commissioning Program, which is an ongoing program to develop and premier major new works by Canadian and international artists. The Commissioning Program is linked to The Power Plant's Strategic Plan to produce at least one major new art work of international significance per annum, establishing The Power Plant as a lead agent in Canada for commissioning landmark contemporary art projects by Canadian and international artists.[5] Since The Power Plant is a non-collecting contemporary art gallery, the commissioning of major new projects is a distinctive and important role for The Power Plant.
Past commissions include:
- Derek Sullivan: Albatross Omnibus (2011)
- Ian Wallace: Abstract Paintings I–XII (The Financial District) (2010)
- Pae White: Sea Beast (2010)
- Candice Breitz: Factum (2009)
- Lawrence Weiner: CUL-DE-SAC (2009)
- Scott Lyall: The Power/Color Ball (2008)
- Simon Starling: Infestation Piece (Musselled Moore) (2008)
- Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Pulse Front (2007)
Harbourfront Centre[edit]
The Power Plant is a key attraction of Harbourfront Centre. While the gallery is led by its own Board of Directors, Harbourfront Centre supports the gallery with maintenance and improvements to the physical site, as well as services and financial support.
