50 Year Club
The University of Texas-Pan American began a new tradition during Homecoming 2011 -- the celebration of its 50-year class. Some 31 members of the Class of 1961 and earlier grads were inducted into the 50 Year Club during a Friday luncheon as part of the Homecoming festivities in February 2011. The event will be an annual alumni happening, with graduates of the University (under any of its previous names) eligible for the 50 Year Club. For more information, contact the Office of Alumni Relations at (956) 665-2500 or email email@example.com.
Student Alumni Association
The Student Alumni Association is a volunteer open-membership organization that enhances the student experience while supporting the quality and traditions of UTPA. Originally envisioned as a means to "bridge the gap" between students and alumni, the SAA is growing into a major campus organization. Annual dues for the SAA are only $5 a year, and we welcome into membership all current UTPA students (undergraduate and graduate). The SAA provides a great way to interact with other students, alumni, faculty and the community. Some of the benefits of being a member include networking opportunities with alumni; SAA membership card that provides local merchant discounts; SAA t-shirt, car decal and other gifts; and involvement that provides students a great addition for their resumés! To find out more about the Student Alumni Association, contact Marisela Leal at firstname.lastname@example.com or call the Office of Alumni Relations at 956/665-2500.

Our View: Plan to privatize Pa. lottery too hasty
Privatize liquor sales in Pennsylvania? Many state residents want state government to get out of the liquor-store business, as Gov. Tom Corbett is set to propose soon.
Lease the Pennsylvania Turnpike to a private operator to reduce costs and provide additional revenue to repair and maintain our state's roads and bridges? We thought that idea was worth considering when Gov. Ed Rendell proposed it in 2007; the idea then stalled in the Legislature.
With these two privatization initiatives, lawmakers and the public had a chance to debate the pros, cons, costs and benefits.
That's not the case with Corbett's decision to award management of the Pennsylvania Lottery to a British company, Camelot Global Services LLC. Lottery proceeds pay for programs for senior citizens, including property-tax and rent rebates, prescription drug programs, senior centers and free or reduced-cost fares on mass transit.
In his "Guest Voice" column on Page 7B today, state Secretary of Revenue Dan Meuser claims that the Corbett administration has been open about efforts to privatize the Pennsyvlania Lottery. Meuser is accurate when he says that Corbett announced plans to seek a private manager for the lottery on April 2. He then scolds lawmakers and the news media, claiming they paid scant attention to Corbett's initial privatization plan after it was unveiled.
But he's blaming the wrong people. In a June 12 news release, the Department of Revenue touted its "due diligence" in investigating privatization, but also said the number of bidders and their identities would "remain confidential to preserve the integrity of the procurement process and maximize competition among respondents."
The public didn't learn until November that Camelot was the sole bidder for the lottery contract. The Corbett administration says the free market will perform better at generating profits than state government, but where is the competition with only one bidder?
Meanwhile, on July 30, the state Department of Revenue and the Department of Aging blasted out identical news releases about the Pennsylvania Lottery's "record sales and profits." With that kind of success, why the urgency to contract management of the lottery to a private operator?
It might be a good idea to privatize the lottery, to make sure that Pennsylvania can continue to pay for programs for our state's aging population for years to come. But Corbett failed to build consensus for this idea and he botched the chance to answer a variety of questions before announcing the contract with Camelot was a done deal.
Are lottery proceeds going to programs other than senior-citizen programs now? Is it wise to persuade more people to gamble, as Camelot says it will do with its marketing plan? And what government services will Corbett try to shed next to pay the state's bills?

For many churches in the Santa Clarita Valley, Christmas isn't all about gifts and toys.
It's a chance to give back to the community and help those in need through song and music.
Real Life Church in Valencia and Bethlehem Lutheran Church of Canyon Country did just that by hosting Christmas concerts for the community.
A lifesaving message
Paul Dowler, the creative arts director for Real Life Church, and Mandie Pinto came up with the idea to offer a series of concerts in lieu of a traditional Christmas program. The church offered the concerts free to the public and only asked for voluntary donations to support the service project A Million Meals, which was launched on Labor Day.
The project aims to raise $1 million within the next three months to fund the packing and shipping of a million meals to send to Haiti, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Malawi and the Dominican Republic.
"We wanted to do something bigger and launch it at Christmas time," Dowler said.
The concerts took place Dec. 10, 11, 17 and 18 showcased the musical talents of Monique Donnelly, Andrea Hammond, Mandie Pinto and the band Dan and Leland.
"We wanted to make every concert accessible to anyone and everyone regardless of the genre," Dowler said. "We also wanted the concerts to be engaging, entertaining and thought provoking."
Each night featured a different genre of music, from rock 'n' roll to gospel, with dancers, backup vocalists and even a drum corp. The concerts also featured original lighting design and fog.
Nearly 2,000 attended at least one of the four concerts.
"We feel people should be entertained," Dowler said. "Entertained people are engaged and paying attention; we have a lifesaving message to give them."
'Little drummer boy'
Robby Robinson, a 33-year veteran of the music business and Frankie Valli's music director, created the idea for Jam for Jesus more than 19 years ago.
Jam for Jesus, which has been held at Bethlehem Lutheran Church for the past 12 years, is a Christmas concert featuring the musical talents of more than 20 musicians and vocalists.
"The concept is like 'The Little Drummer Boy,'" Robinson said. "We all have gifts and talents that the Lord gives to us and we hope to give back to him. Hopefully, in the process, we help other people toward the Lord."
The concert, which is always free to the public, features an eclectic mix of all genres of music from classical to pop, with many A-list musicians.
Robinson believes the concert helps convey the true meaning of Christmas by featuring Christ-centered and Christmas-oriented songs.
"We hope the audience is spiritually uplifted and inspired by the performances," Robinson said.
More than 500 people attended the Dec. 16 concert, which lasted about three hours.
"The focus was to praise the Lord," Robinson said. "When you get that much talent together, there is an energy that comes off the stage.
"We entertained the audience with the talent, and hopefully inspired and spiritually uplifted them."

Well, for a start, it lets you grow your underlying storage to arbitrary
sizes without having to grow individual arrays to unreasonable sizes
(e.g., keeping RAID-5 arrays relatively small and striping across
multiple such arrays provides considerably more availability than using
a single large RAID-5 array).
Some LVMs also support inter-site replication between one array (or set
of arrays) and another. Yes, this is something that a driver can
provide (at least for an individual disk or array) as well, but
packaging this up in an LVM can make things easier to work with.
Hmmm - how would multiple arrays (which might support separate file
systems rather than a single file system striped across them) coordinate
shared use of hot-spare disks, rather than require separate spares for
each array?
Perhaps the easiest way to look at it is that an LVM can manage multiple
volumes (and the various ways they can be used together), whereas a RAID
array presents a single volume to the next level up.

MADISON, Alabama - Candlelight illuminated a corner of Shelton Park as friends remembered the light that brightened their lives as they honored the memory of 22-year-old A'viona Bronson.
Bronson was found dead at Executive Lodge Apartments Monday. 30-year-old Kenyatta Deshon Martin, the man she was in a relationship with, was charged in connection to her murder.
Brianna Mitchell met A'viona in 10th grade at Bob Jones High School and said her personality was contagious and was the friend who taught her how to dance, who loved collecting tennis shoes and had dreams of becoming a cosmetologist.
"Everywhere she went she made friends," Mitchell said.
Kendyle Davis remembers A'viona as a vivacious spirit who was playful with everyone she met.
"She touched a lot of people's hearts," Davis said.
An investigation into Bronson's death began when officers responded to Regions Bank at 200 Clinton Ave and where a woman informed them that her husband told her he killed someone and that he wanted to take his own life.
While honoring Bronson's memory, friends also wanted to promote awareness about domestic violence.
"We're not really sure what caused her death, but clearly that was the guy that said he loved her and so the fact that it was him, I consider that domestic violence,"Mitchell said. "I could see it and I know she was very guarded and she doesn't open up. She could have the worst day ever and still smile and you wouldn't think anything was wrong, but at the end of the day, something was wrong."
Mitchell and other friends said they only knew about Bronson's relationship with Martin through Facebook and an Instagram photo of a wedding ring.
"Be careful who you fall in love with. Be careful who you're getting involved with," she said.
Due to the ongoing homicide investigation that is currently being conducting, Bronson's cause of death will not be released, according to Madison County Coroner Craig Whisenant.
"That's what really hurts the most is that I let her slip away from me when she was this close," Mitchell said. "What I want people to remember is that they can save somebody's life by simply just dialing 911 if they hear something going on."

Guidelines for Deploying Cloudera Search
CDH initially deploys Solr with a JVM size of 1 GB. In the context of Search, 1 GB is a small value. Starting with this small value simplifies JVM deployment, but the value is insufficient for most actual use cases. Some of the factors to consider when determining an acceptable value for production usage are:
- The more searchable material you have, the more memory you need. All things being equal, 10 TB of searchable data requires more memory than 1 TB of searchable data.
- What is indexed within the searchable material. Indexing all fields in a collection of logs, emails, or Wikipedia entries requires more memory than indexing only the Date Created field.
- What level of performance is required. If the system must be stable and respond quickly, more memory may help. If slow responses are acceptable, you may be able to use less memory.
The only way to ensure an appropriate amount of memory is to consider your requirements and experiment in your environment. In general:
- 4 GB may be acceptable for smaller loads or for evaluation.
- 12 GB is sufficient for some production environments.
- 48 GB is sufficient for most situations.
Deployment Requirements
This topic guides you towards solutions, rather than providing a list of absolute requirements. Having a sample application to benchmark different use cases and data types and sizes can help you identify the most important performance factors.
To determine how best to deploy search in your environment, it is important to define use cases. The same Solr index can have very different hardware requirements depending upon the queries that are performed. The most common variation in hardware requirement is memory. For example, the memory requirements for faceting vary depending on the number of unique terms in the faceted field. Suppose you want to use faceting on a field that has 10 unique values. In such a case, only ten logical containers are required for counting. As a result, no matter how many documents are in the index, memory overhead is almost non-existent in this example. Conversely the same index could have unique timestamps for every entry and you want to facet on that field with a : -type query. In such a case, each index would require its own logical container. Under such an organization, if you had many documents, 500 million, for example, then faceting across 10 such fields would increase the RAM requirements significantly.
For this reason, use cases and some characterizations of the data is required before you can estimate hardware requirements. The important parameters to consider are:
- Number of documents. For Cloudera Search, sharding is almost always required.
- Approximate word count for each potential field.
- What information is stored in the Solr index and what is only for searching. Information stored in the index is returned with the search results.
- Foreign language support.
- How many different languages appear in your data?
- What percentage of documents are in each language?
- Is language-specific searching to be supported? This determines whether accent folding and storing the text in a single field is sufficient.
- What language families are going to be searched? For example, you could combine all Western European languages into a single field, but it is not practical to combine English and Chinese into a single field. Even within more similar sets of languages using a single field for different languages may be problematic. For instance, sometimes accents alter the meaning of a word, and in such a case, accent folding loses important distinctions.
- Faceting requirements
- Be wary of faceting on fields that have many unique terms. For example, faceting on timestamps or free-text fields typically has a high cost. Faceting on a field with more than 10,000 unique values is typically not useful. Ensure that any such faceting requirement is necessary.
- Types of facets. You can facet on queries as well as field values. Faceting on queries is often useful for dates. For example, "in the last day" or "in the last week" can be valuable. Using Solr Date Math to facet on a bare "NOW" is almost always inefficient. Facet-by-query is not memory-intensive since the number of logical containers is limited by the number of queries specified, no matter how many unique values are in the underlying field. This can enable faceting on things such as dates or times, while avoiding the problem described for faceting on fields with unique terms.
- Sorting requirements
- Sorting requires one integer for each document (maxDoc) and takes up significant memory. Additionally, sorting on strings requires storing each unique string value.
- Will there be an "advanced" search capability? If
so, how will that be implemented? You must make significant design decisions based on user
motivation levels:
- Can users be expected to learn about the system? "Advanced" screens may intimidate e-commerce users, but such screens may be most effective if users can be expected to learn them.
- How long will your users wait for results? Data mining results in longer user wait times. Of course, you do not want users to wait any longer than necessary, but there are other design decisions related to reasonable response times.
- How many simultaneous users must your system accommodate?
- Update requirements. An update in Solr refers
both to adding new documents and changing existing documents.
- Loading new documents.
- Bulk. Are there cases where the index has to be rebuilt from scratch or will there only be an initial load?
- Incremental. At what rate will new documents enter the system?
- Updating documents. Can you characterize the expected number of modifications to existing documents?
- How much latency is acceptable between when a document is added to Solr and when it is available in Search results?
- Loading new documents.
- Security requirements. Solr has no built-in
security options, though Cloudera Search supports authorization using Sentry and authentication using Kerberos. In Solr,
document-level security is usually best accomplished by indexing some kind of
authorization tokens along with the document. The number of authorization tokens applied
to a document is largely irrelevant; thousands are reasonable though such large numbers
can be difficult to administer. The number of authorization tokens associated with a
particular user should be much smaller. 100 is often a good upper limit. This is because
security at this level is usually enforced by appending an "fq" clause to the query and
putting thousands of tokens in an "fq" clause is expensive.
- There is a post filter, also know as a no-cache filter, that can help with access schemes that can not use the first option. These are not cached and are applied only after all the less-expensive filters are applied.
- If grouping, faceting is not required to accurately reflect true document counts, so some shortcuts can be taken. For example, ACL filtering is notoriously expensive in some systems, sometimes requiring database access. If completely accurate faceting is required, you must completely process the list to reflect accurate facets.
- Required query rate, usually measured in
queries-per-second (QPS).
- At a minimum, deploy machines with sufficient hardware resources to provide a reasonable response rate for a single user. It is possible create queries that place demands on the system such that even a few users do not receive acceptable performance. In such a case, re-sharding is necessary.
- If QPS is only somewhat slower than required and you do not want to reshard, you can get some performance improvement by adding replicas to each shard.
- As your the number of shards in your deployment increases, so, too, does the likelihood that one of the shards will be unusually slow. In such a case, the general QPS rate falls, though very slowly. This typically occurs as the number of shards reaches the scale of hundreds.

Thousands and thousands of people woke up Wednesday morning with the same dream: hit the jackpot.
The Powerball Jackpot topped $500 million after rolling over 16 times with no winner. As the winning amount grew, more and more people bought into the lottery - splurging anywhere from $2 to hundreds of dollars in some states - looking for lucky numbers.
At a travel center in Albuquerque, employees told Action 7 News they've had a lot of people coming in, so many that they've had to replace the paper in the lottery machine constantly. Customer after customer, people threw down some cash asking for specific numbers or the quick pick.
A lot of people have said the quick pick -- random numbers -- is the way to go. Yet, lottery officials disagree saying there is now way to increase the chances of winning.

These films are all available on DVD, from Amazon or from Kino Video, Netflix, or perhaps from your local rental store. We recommend the Kino versions if you can get them: they tend to use better prints and better music.
Directed by Robert Wiene
Perhaps the most famous and influential film of the German Expressionist silent era. Its highly stylized and theatrical sets were an inspiration for Wilcox's dream R'lyeh in The Call of Cthulhu.
Directed by F. W. Murnau
This spectacular film offers numerous inspirations, from its gorgeous miniature sets to its operatic depiction of alchemy and the occult. The four horsemen of the Apocalypse are a scary sight.
Directed by Fritz Lang
Another amazing and incredibly influential film. We used many of the filmmaking techniques so masterfully employed in this movie, such as forced perspective, mirror shots, and hanging foreground miniatures. We were also inspired by Lang's camera movement.
Murnau's controversial version of the Dracula story is a favorite horror classic, with a much emulated macabre tone.
Murnau's first film produced in America is a masterpiece. Perhaps most inspiring are its complex moving camera shots. We attempted to recreate one of them in the swamp sequence in The Call of Cthulhu, although it was ultimately cut from the fillm.
This early film is a study in lighting for black-and-white and the use of extremely high contrast photography. It finds a way to visualize profound and abstract ideas. Vies with Faust for the vast number of candles used on screen.
Directed by Raoul Walsh
Fairbanks produced this early special effects extravaganza. We were inspired by its use of sheets of undulating fabric to represent the ocean, and by its gigantic sets. There is an underwater sequence that is quite amazing in its stagecraft.
Directed by Harry Hoyt
Though the technique can seem quaint today, the stop-motion animation in this film amazed and terrified audiences in 1925, many of whom were convinced the dinosaurs were real. Stop-motion master Willis O'Brien worked on this film on his way to making another classic in which gigantic creatures destroy New York: King Kong.
Directed by Rupert Julian
Of all the films on this list, this is one that we know H. P. Lovecraft himself saw and greatly enjoyed, with its shadowy themes of madness and its cast-of-thousands spectacle. The black-and-white picture is tinted in many scenes, and features a sequence in early Technicolor.

If you had to date the Great Recession, you might say it started in September 2008 when Lehman Brothers vaporized over a weekend and a massive mortgage-based Ponzi scheme began to tumble.

Hugo Chavez muffler-rattled against the likes of Toyota, Ford, General Motors and Fiat in a speech to the country Thursday, attacking those companies for not sharing technology with local industry and threatening to kick them out of business if they did not comply.
General Motors Chief Executive Fritz Henderson tooted his company's horn plenty when he ushered in a new, post-bankruptcy era for the Detroit automaker—but he couldn't promise that GM 2.0 would be able to pay back the billions of dollars his company got from taxpayers.
General Motors, recipient of the 2009 "Nation's Most Resistant-to-Change Company That Still Gets Federal Assistance" award, wants more. The auto giant on Wednesday asked for $16.6 billion in loans, on top of the $13.4 billion already granted. All this amid GM plans to shed 47,000 jobs worldwide.

New York Times / Stephen Crowley
Agreement has been reached between the White House and congressional Democrats to offer the U.S. auto industry a $14 billion emergency package aimed at keeping the Big Three going until spring. Also, in the grand tradition of state socialism, the deal includes a new auto "czar" to oversee the restructuring of Detroit.
With a bailout of the Big Three hovering over our political landscape, popular opinion has signaled a considerable voice against any federal support for the failing auto industry. A poll shows 61% of Americans oppose a bailout, believing any government assistance would be both unfair and ineffective in fixing the economy.
After a dismal November, Ford Motor Co. is hanging by a thread, but the automaker told Congress on Tuesday that it is in better shape than Chrysler and General Motors and could make it through its current economic crisis with a little help—to the tune of $9 billion in standby loans.
Are workers to blame for the fix that General Motors (along with many other corporations) is in? A new book by Roger Lowenstein argues that they are. He couldn't be more wrong.

PC-BSD 8.1 was released on July 20, 2010, roughly five months after version 8.0 was released. Some of the suggestions made in the review of PC-BSD 8.0 have been carried out in this latest release. In fact, the changes were made within one month of that review being published. It is an encouraging example of how some distro developers respond to suggestions (or critical reviews).
While I still think that PC-BSD is not yet ready for the masses, it is coming along very well. This review will offer another detailed look at some of the good and bad sides of this FreeBSD-based distribution, with the attendant recommendations and suggestions for improvement.

Patricia Tannis
this wiki
CleanupTo meet Borderlands quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. Please help by improving, spell-checking and/or trimming the article.
Patricia Tannis is a non-player character who is integral to the main storyline of Borderlands and provides missions in Borderlands 2.
Tannis has a tenuous grip on sanity. She often abruptly changes the subject of her conversations and appears to have developed emotional attachments to her ECHO device and to two chairs. In Borderlands 2, it is also revealed she has become extremely sociophobic, popping a blood vessel when someone says hello to her in the street. She also has a very strange set of morals, demonstrating scientific curiosity towards horrific experimentation on people.
She is the leading expert on Eridians and the Vault, and as such is a person often consulted in missions. Her knowledge is vast but is presented in an extremely whimsical way. Tannis also records much of her life into her ECHO device, then promptly hides the recordings, paying characters to retrieve them.
Tannis has also displayed rather autistic behavior, especially ones associated with Asperger's, and strangely on the notes described in one of her missions. Being dependent on repetition and a comfort zone, being socially dysfunctional, emotional problems, and difficulty expressing empathy yet still possessing it. In addition, her considerable skill in research and her devotion to her interests are also features of the condition. Tannis, however, suffered from multiple traumas and prolonged isolation on Pandora, as described in many of her echo logs, which likely violently agitated her condition, causing many of these factors to be violently exaggerated and more unstable.
Patricia Tannis is a researcher, scientist, and archaeologist once employed by the Dahl Corporation to unearth details about the mysterious Vault. Over the time of her research, the harshness of Pandora and the deaths of most of her colleagues led to her developing psychosis. She became completely numb to violence, and her loneliness caused her to impart personality onto the ECHO Recorder she uses to log her progress. When rebooting the ECHO network, the instructions she gives are described as being in the form of "an argument with either an invisible cellmate or a rat." From the first time Tannis is introduced, she expresses a sort of arrogance centered around her standing as a scientist, often implying that those who surround her are on a lesser intellectual level, her fellow researchers included.
When Dahl pulled out from Pandora, they removed their funding of Tannis' research. By then, she had become completely obsessed with finding the Vault, so she turned to bandits to aid her research. After several more discoveries, she was betrayed and abandoned by the bandits. It was at this time she realized that she could not leave her campsite because of an irrational phobia, so rather than directly conducting her search, she instead sent out a signal calling for Vault hunters to do the work. Eventually, when a sleepwalking incident left her outside her camp, she decided that there was little to fear and promptly proceeded to scatter the journal recordings around Pandora.
Players are first introduced to Tannis during the the first Hidden Journal mission in the Arid Badlands. The Hidden Journal missions focus on recovering various data recorders hidden throughout the wilderness. The recorders contain journal entries from Tannis, most of which concern her research on the Vault and illustrate her rapidly diminishing sanity.
Players meet Tannis soon after passing through New Haven, when directed to her dig site in Rust Commons West. After showing her the Vault Key fragment that was found in Sledge's possession, she sends the Vault hunters out to find the rest of the fragments.
After collecting the second and third key pieces from Krom's Canyon and the Trash Coast, Tannis sends the Vault hunters to seek out one more piece of the key, alleging that Baron Flynt stole it as Tannis fired him from her team. After battling through Flynt and his men, the Vault hunters find the key's supposed chest empty. The Crimson Lance commander Commandant Steele contacts the hunters, insinuating that Tannis has joined them and has handed in the key fragments willingly, which is never refuted by Tannis. Amidst the doubt over whether or not Tannis has betrayed the Vault hunters, she explains that the Crimson Lance came after her and took the vault keys, and says that Steele came up with the plan to send the adventurers to kill the bandits. Tannis says that she went along with that part because it seemed like something the Vault hunters might enjoy.
After the Vault is opened, the Vault hunters can return to Tannis (who has returned to her dig site) to turn in the key for a substantial reward of money and experience.
In The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, she offers the mission to seek out the Pumpkinhead monster.
Tannis returns in the fourth downloadable content pack, Claptrap's New Robot Revolution. This time she has established a secluded workshop overlooking Tartarus Station. She explains that it is her secret workshop, and she is beginning some sort of project in which she could use some help. After collecting a number of components from rogue claptraps, the project is revealed to be an android of herself, built so she wouldn't be lonely.
Between the events of Borderlands and Borderlands 2, Handsome Jack steals the Vault key from Tannis by torturing her "ceiling chairs", including one she had developed feelings for, intending to charge it with Eridium to open another Vault containing an ancient Warrior. Roland contacts Tannis, inviting her to move to Sanctuary. Wanting revenge for what Hyperion did to the chairs, she accepts the offer.

- Story quotes:
- Atomic batteries to power... Turbines to speed...Ooo, I wonder what this does... - from cutscene
- I'm going to need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21- Oh hey! Hello! Welcome to my secret lab. Secret lair? Terror pavilion! Yes, I like that one best. Hey, you look like you're into experimentation, maybe dabbled a bit in college. Head down to the Hyperion Dump to find parts for my totally legit, in no way morally reprehensible secret project. There should be plenty of scrapped claptraps ripe for the picking; sure are a lot more of the buggers puttering around. It'll be easier than stealing candy from a dead body! - Upon acquiring Are You From These Parts?
- Fantastic! These parts should let me reroute the Omega 13 device to the Snooze Button without sacrificing the nuclear payload! If you find any more, send them my way. - Upon acquiring Fight For Your Right To Part-E

- Greetings.
- I used to be a galaxy class scientist; but now I've been reduced to a babbling hang-on.

- Hey! Over here! Yoohoo! Yes, you!
- My talents were squandered on this rock.
- Over here! I need your help with... something.
- What do you need, an invitation? Come here!
- You can be of service to my talent.
- You're from off planet, you smell oddly.
- Upon leaving
- Did you get lost already?
- I can't finish the toaster setting without those parts! Go!
- I guess you're leaving.
- Keep at it, my friend!
- Keep your eyes open.
- Let's hope you're more useful than the last one I hired.
- More parts! I must have more parts!
- Shh! Act like you don't know me. There are spies everywhere!
- We'll speak again.

- What part of secret lab don't you understand? Get out of here!
Borderlands 2
- I am very sorry to say I need your assistance.
- If you could stand still for a moment, I require something of you.
- Given the blank look on your face, I assume you have not completed your task.
- Do you have a progress update?
- Have you completed your task yet?
- Tannis has strong opinions against various things, calling music "wasteful and stupid," and believing bacon is for "sycophants and products of incest."
- It is unknown at which point exactly the Crimson Lance started forcing Tannis' actions, as while the Vault Hunters are working to gain access to the Trash Coast for the third Vault key piece, Marcus Kincaid contacts them via ECHO, expressing his suspicions about Tannis as she had never used Marcus' services for resupplies and reasoned that she must be getting supplies from somewhere, possibly implying that the Lance had been supplying Tannis for some while in order for her to deceive the Vault Hunters into collecting the key pieces.
- Tannis can also be seen from the "fish" easter egg "Fun with barrels" in Treacher's Landing (near the "You're on a boat!" achievement).
- Tannis has given at least one set of her underwear to Crazy Earl.
- During her intro cut scene in Borderlands 2 the clothes lines hanging about in the background distinctly show a white bra and a pair of pink women's underwear, these articles are not present during normal gameplay. Most likely an Easter Egg referencing her above interactions with Crazy Earl from Borderlands.
- Dr Zed appears to have a certain amount of dislike for Tannis due to her having a "real Doctorate" degree while he does not.
- Tannis flirts with the vault hunter during her first mission-related conversations in Borderlands 2, mentioning a "standing offer" to experience her bed.
- It is believed that Tannis was Maya's assassin killer in the mission Victims of Vault Hunters; available in the Sir Hammerlock VS the Son of Crawmerax. The letter addressed to Maya at the end of the mission reads "Dear Siren: Though I find your physical attractiveness confusingly repulsive, I feel you will have an important part to play in the coming days. Knowing this, I elected to poison the Siren hunters through various means I shan't go into detail about. Suffice to say, they involved a beer bottle and a straw made of anthrax, sincerely a friend."

Scene in D.C.: Guests Cheer Tiger Woods, Japanese Party
Japanese Ambassador Ichiro Fujisaki played host to more than 1,000 visitors on his sprawling lawn yesterday for his annual summer barbecue.
His wife, Yoriko Fujisaki, said that the sweltering weather was about the same in Japan where she is headed for the holiday break. Her husband, who sported a red polo shirt with "Japan" emblazoned across the front, will stay behind for business.
Japanese cuisine and all-American fare like hot dogs were offered. Steaks and chicken were roasted on steaming grills under the watchful eyes of the embassy's chefs.
"I love noodles," Yoriko Fujisaki said as she held a plate of ramen cooked for her on the grill.
She said her guest list consisted of business leaders like Mark Schuermann, the executive director of public affairs for Nomura, and volunteers who assisted in the aftermath of the earthquake in Tohoku last year.
Lars Hydle, who works for U.S. Representative Edolphus Towns, a New York Democrat, cooled off with a Popsicle. Other guests stayed cool by taking a dip in the Fujisakis' swimming pool. Their tennis court was also open for business.
In the shade, a crowd gathered around a martial arts demonstration that generated a chorus of gasps.
Guests departed with the Fujisaki signature "Japan-U.S. Friendship" plastic bracelet, and children got a bracelet designed especially for them.
Woods Foundation
A violent storm Friday evening postponed the first annual "District on the Green" party at the AT&T National Golf Tournament to Sunday afternoon.
Hosted by the Tiger Woods Foundation, the party introduced Washington scenesters to the excitement of a golf tournament at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda.
Host committee member Winston Lord, the co-founder of Venga, an Internet startup company, was among the many social stars who helped get the young and beautiful on the green on a Sunday afternoon, the last hurrah before the summer doldrums.
Guests gathered on the terrace of the club house to see Woods swing at the nearby 10th tee. The crowd applauded when they saw Woods approach in a bright red shirt.
Woods, 36, went on to win a two-stroke victory over Bo Van Pelt to become the first golfer to win three times on the U.S. PGA Tour this season and surpass Jack Nicklaus's career win total.
Chef Jose Andres provided appetizers, while a chic bar served the signature beverage of the afternoon: the Grey Goose Cherry Noir. Cupcakes with green icing were decorated like mini-golf courses.
Financial advisers George Bassett, with Merrill Lynch, and David Bubby, with TD Ameritrade, sat on terrace sofas while waiters passed around chilled Evian water spray cans. Guests departed with silver martini sticks from Grey Goose.

Ginger Beer Recipe
By Lindsay Hunt | December 27, 2010
Now that Christmas is over, I'm looking towards New Years, and New Year's Resolutions, for this week. Next year, I want to challenge myself more in the kitchen, and I want to be more creative. I got a jump start on that resolution this week with Marcus' recipe for ginger beer. I love anything with ginger, and particularly enjoy ginger beverages. Making a homemade soda was a perfect challenge to set the tone for 2011.

text: new Seattle arena What Seattle's NBA arena might look like By Jake Ellison • Nov 16, 2012 360 Architecture / City of Seattle City and county officials said yes to the $490 million deal, so Chris Hansen et al. have submitted a preliminary design for the proposed NBA arena to be located in Seattle's SODO neighborhood. Longshore Union challenging new Seattle NBA arena plan By The Associated Press • Oct 12, 2012 The Longshore Union has announced its intent to file a legal challenge to the proposed basketball arena in the industrial area south of downtown Seattle. Should Seattle vote on NBA arena? Port calls it a 'job killer' By The Associated Press & Paula Wissel • Jun 19, 2012 Port officials say placing a new sports arena in Seattle's SoDo neighborhood without significant transportation improvements would be a "job killer." And one King County councilman wondered if area residents shouldn't vote on the idea. Preview: Traffic concerns legitimate for proposed new arena By Kirsten Kendrick & Art Thiel • Apr 19, 2012 Lana_aka_BADGRL / Flickr Members of the King County Council this week raised concerns about a proposed new arena in Seattle's SoDo district. Among the concerns is increased traffic - the same reason the Mariners, Port of Seattle and many SoDo businesses have come out against the idea of building third arena in the area. KPLU sports commentator Art Thiel shares his insight on this issue tomorrow morning at 5:35 and 7:35 on 88.5 KPLU. Check back here for a blog of our conversation.

What I liked:
Easy embarkation and disembarkation process. We got to the port by 12:30 and were processed and in our rooms before 1 pm. While we unpacked our carry ons, our luggage was delivered, so we were completely unpacked before we had lunch in the Lido around 1:30. When we disembarked, we had breakfast in the Lido and were able to wait in our room until it was time for our departure at 9:15 am.
Nice large verandah suite cabin on Dec 9 (Verandah), starboard (right side looking forward), a few steps away from the front elevators and stairs. Two large closets with wooden hangars (non-attached to poles) and changeable shelf space, small safe. (configured) Queen size bed, comfortable, 6 pillows of varying firmness, plenty of room underneath to store large suitcases (although we nested them with the carry ons. Phone on night stand with 2 drawers in each. Reading lights as well as room control lights at door and at headboard.Dressing table with 9 drawers. Flat screen TV on swivel base with DVD player underneath. Wire fruit bowl (can order fruit from room service? - we didn't) Tray, nice water, cocktail and wine glasses and ice bucket. Full size sofa(bed) - glass cocktail and side table - mini-fridge (really just a cooler with selection of soda, mixers and a couple of mini bottles of booze and wine - for fees listed in room book).
Nice size balcony - one teak padded lounger and one padded chair with small table and ashtray.
Biggest bathroom I've had in 12 cruises - whirlpool tub (although not very deep) with handheld shower. Elemis shampoo, conditioner and (minty)shower gel in wall dispensers. Lotion and shower cap at sink. Everything clean, but slightly worn.
Cabin service was good - unobtrusive, room always tidied up while we were gone.
Destination - Bermuda is beautiful. Everyone speaks English and American money taken everywhere. Even our credit card charges in port were charged in US dollars and no conversion fees.
Missed port of St. George, but they gave us one day voucher for transportation that we used to take bus there anyway. HAL said it was due to weather; it did rain in the am, but also heard that they regularly miss that port and it is such a hassle with the 1 1/2 hour each way trip tender ride/process, that most people welcome extra day in Hamilton with free day's transportation. Went to Crystal caves $20 pp - seen one cave, seen them all- nothing special; Swizzle Inn for a Rum swizzle - also nothing special - basically your average rum punch in a landmark bar. Then on to St. George itself - cute town square, shops, good photos of unfinished church. Tried to find Tobacco Bay, but walked the wrong way up the hill and too exhausted to backtrack in the muggy heat that afternoon. Pretty scenery. 45 minute bus ride back to Hamilton, overall good day.
Day 2 Husband golfed at Belmont (par 70 - $149 w/cart, I think)Hard course despite par 70 and not very well kept up he said. I went to Horseshoe bay with relatives - bus ride from Hamilton bus terminal $5 round trip; Clean, gorgeous soft sand beach, warm water, gentle waves; no shells. $11 for each beach chair or umbrella with additional $5 ea deposit. Worth it for the day. Snack bar selling soft drinks ($3),beer ($5?), rum punch ($8?) and usual fried fare ($5- $10). Huge rock formation to climb on; tide pool and sheltered cove to the right. Gets crowded. Be there by 10 am for some solitude. Changing rooms with showers and bathrooms (no fee). Long hill down from bus stop. Hard, hot walk back up - take $2 van ride up if you have old people, kids, just too much stuff or too tired to walk about 1/4 mile.
Day 3 Husband golfed at Belmont again. I bought $12 day transportation pass and took ferry to Dockyards - nice ferry ride over; great pictures and scenery, past pretty houses and yachts. Typical "cruise town"; X - Summit and NCL Gem there - and 5000 people. Walked around fort, clock tower shops (glassblower, rum factory, pottery works.) checked out Fort and Onion Pub - too early for a drink. Ferry back to meet husband at Ferry Terminal, then we both took bus back to Horseshoe Bay for afternoon swim. This time took circuitous route from Horseshoe to Dockyards, walked around a little with Hubby and then took ferry back to Hamilton, so he could see those areas too. On the bus Had a delightful conversation with retired English resident of Bermuda (former headmaster of a private school on the island), whose wife had died three years ago and had left him a list of eligible women he could marry after she was gone. He was well know in the community and women tried to bribe him to find out where they were on the list and move up! My husband thinks he was trying to get me on the list. LOL! He was eventually sponsored by someone on this list to allow him to stay in Bermuda - but not married. Was in traditional dress - Bermuda shorts with jacket and tie, knee socks.
Day 4 - walked around Hamilton; Had a Dark and Stormy at the Hog Breath Inn (can you say 1950's Highball?) Nothing dark or stormy about it ; shopped for some souvenirs. Back on ship at noon for 1 pm departure back to NY.
Food on ship - mostly ate in MDR (Breakfast and dinners), variety and quality good. Lido food standard fare for ship buffets. Lunch was salads, pastas, sandwich makings; pizza; stir fry; Asian/Indian specialties. At pool deck - hamburgers (well done only), hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, fries every day; late afternoon usually some Mexican fare - tacos, nacho fixings. Occasional poolside events - one afternoon - stir-fry; one evening fruit/dessert buffet and BBQ. every night at 11 late night buffet in Lido - looked, didn't partake.
Canaletto alternative dining (no charge) - reserved section of Lido - same Italian menu every day - food was enjoyable and service was better than in MDR.
Nice touches: fresh squeezed OJ at breakfast; good chocolate chip cookies; free ice cream all afternoon and evening in Lido; free espresso and cappuccino in MDR at breakfast, lunch or dinner. Long list of free DVD available from front desk. Outdoor movies with popcorn at the Retreat.
Thank you Hal - bar set-ups can be purchased for room consumption very reasonably. $34.50 for a liter of Stolichnaya vodka and three cans of soda of your choice, including service charge (similar charge for other liquor set-ups). $20 for 6 bottles of beer. $25 soda card that gives you $50 worth of canned soda to be used for anyone you choose - great value. Coke Zero, Sprite Zero and Caffeine Free Diet coke (yeah) Long list of other Coke products. Reasonably priced drinks, especially drink of the day - $5.75 for a special martini or fancy drink. Other specials like $4 martinis at the MIX happy hour one day; $4 wine at culinary center; 2 for 1 happy hour at Crow's nest. Wine packages 3 bottles for $89 can be brought to dining room and saved if not finished (not bad for cruise ship prices, although not what I would call fine wines. Of course you can run up a big bar bill if you are not careful.
Activities - technology classes (brother-in-law loved the tech guy); good selection of recent movies, played in theater, in Outdoor Retreat and then rerun on cabin TV; occasional trivia (would have liked more of those).
Entertainment - typical cruise shows, although with just one set of performers who rotated throughout the week. Magician/comedian was good; acapella foursome was good; Soprano and Tenor were good. Dancers (2 girls) were good.
A for effort - cruise director CJ - first time - was a little stiff and rehearsed. Nice Lady - heard HAL is looking for more female CDs
What could be improved:
Service - extremely slow in the Anytime dining room; 2 hour dinner was common. Even getting bar waiter to take a drink order in dining room, pool or theater. Very slow to pick up dirty dishes and glasses in pool area. I'm convinced that poor anytime dining service was due to not having to work for your tips. Room service was slow. I order liquor set up and it had not arrive after one hour. I left for dinner and when I called upon returning from dinner, they said I should order it again tomorrow.
Food - Room temperature shrimp cocktail; cold salads served on scalding hot plates; food presented different than described on menu (3 pieces of sushi when menu said 6). See Pinnacle Grill below.
Anytime dining - what they mean - anytime at either 5:45, 6 or 7:45, 8. If you want to reserve anything in between - no dice - you just show up and wait like in a restaurant. Could be a while, although it did look like they might be serving champagne for a long wait.
Special Afternoon chocolate buffet - disappointing, although I wouldn't really care if they ever offered those things on cruise ships at midnight or in afternoon. Displays very crudely put together. One chocolate display, I think it was supposed to be sand castles, looked like a pile of turds!
Pinnacle Grill - ate there last night on ship. Venue was nice, service was attentive, food was tasty and attractively presented, BUT every course was brought barely lukewarm or downright cold for almost all courses for 6 diners! Cold Thai soup, cold creamed spinach, cold sauteed mushrooms, cold sauteed onions, room temp fillet Mignon and shrimp, room temp lobster bisque. Definitely took the enjoyment out of the meal. Maitre Di apologetic and discounted each couple one $20 fee. I could see an occasion plate becoming cool while waiting for the other plates, but dish, after dish, after dish. Pinnacle has their own kitchen area and cooks, so there should be no excuse.
Ship cleanliness - dirty windows, even in the dining room - I mean brown streaks, not just salt from ocean spray; sticky menu covers (marked up from kids) and chairs; grime in door jams and along walls; lots of marking on walls; dirty carpeting; worn wood everywear; brass fitting literally lifting off of window sills and green with tarnish; ill fitting doors out from Lido; stained beach and pool towels. You did not constantly see staff cleaning like I have seen on other ships.
Elevators and air conditioning - both spotty through cruise and throughout ship. Don't worry about being cold in the dining room on this ship! Our room AC was OK, but others on same floor said it was unbearable and fans had to be brought in. I think it may have been dependent on location. At least one elevator down almost every day; very slow door opening and closing and very slow moving. One women got stuck and became disoriented.
Activities: staff didn't do much to engage guests. Rock and Roll party was just DJ playing oldies - no dance contest, no other staff dancing or in costumes. Even Karaoke was boring. No quest or newlywed game or guest engaging events. Occasional (one game per session) bingo and pool event, but not that much going on - probably due to destination and being docked for so many days
Accessibility in rooms - sister booked a deluxe suite accessible room - she has difficulty lifting leg over even small step. Shower has two seats, but very narrow doorway - hard to maneuver her motorized cart through; shower had step and no grab bars in needed locations; Toilet was low and weird placed grab bars; Deck had threshold that could not be wheeled over. She was very disappointed as was told shower was roll in. She wound up using accessible toilet on deck 8 whenever possible - sad situation given her needs.
Cabin soundproofing and location. Thin walls - heard women humming while she was unpacking. Can't tell you what they heard from their side! Deck/lounger chairs and Pads got soaked on trip home on that side of ship - balcony not usable that day and 1/2. Port side cabin may be better for that reason.
On Board Shops- I'm not much for cruise ship shops - but it was the same stuff I have seen everywhere. Only could be opened for one day going out and 1 1/2 day going back, so I could see where they wouldn't devote much effort to this.
Smoking allowed in room? - ashtrays in every room, nothing that said you couldn't smoke in your room. cigars and pipes only allowed on pool deck.
Day 4 - walked off ship and around Hamilton; Had a Dark and Stormy at the Hog Breath Inn (can you say 1950's Highball?) Nothing dark or stormy about it, expect maybe the bartender; shopped for some souvenirs - nothing's cheap there. Back on ship at noon for 1 pm departure back to NY.
Nice place, very clean, upscale - would go again. Next time would try to do a portion of the Railroad Trail that runs through a large section of the island (No motorized vehicles allowed) and maybe a few other beaches, like Elbow.
Missed port of St. George on Veendam went directly to Hamilton, but they gave us voucher for one day transportation ($12) that we used to take bus from Hamilton. HAL said it was due to weather; it did rain in the am, but also heard that they regularly miss that port and it is such a hassle with the 1 1/2 hour each way trip tender ride/process, that most people welcome extra day in Hamilton with free day's transportation. First stop Crystal caves $20 pp - seen one cave, seen them all- nothing special; short walk from caves to Swizzle Inn for a Rum swizzle, basically your average rum punch in a landmark bar. Went for ice cream at Baileys across from Swizzle Inn. Then continued on bus to St. George itself - cute town square, dunking stool, stockcades; Deliverance ship and statue; shops, good photos of water and unfinished church up the hill. Tried to find Tobacco Bay, but walked the wrong way (left of church) up a steep hill and too exhausted to backtrack (to the right of the church)in the muggy heat that afternoon. Pretty scenery. 45 minute bus ride back to Hamilton, overall good day.

How to produce a world-class CV
Along with your birth certificate and passport, a CV is perhaps one of the most important documents you own.
It's fair to say that the course of your career is largely determined by how effectively you are able to present your past working experience and highlight your skill sets. Everyday recruiters and employers reject a significant number of well qualified candidates on the basis of an underwhelming CV. Job seeking success is predicated on being able to effectively showcase your career experience and skills to the utmost.
The following is a list of 5 important steps to help you optimise your CV and make it stand out from the competition.
1. Incorporate a personal statement:
Many candidates employ the use of objective statements in their CV; however these fail to give the recruiter any sense of your character. An example of an objective statement would be something like this: "Highly motivated technician seeking to obtain a position as an engineering specialist in the field of maintenance". With space at a premium on your CV, the opening line should be a personal statement, which allows you to outline your character, experience and skills.
The following is how the above statement can be reworked as a personal statement: "Target-driven technician with over 5 years' experience in the field of engineering maintenance". As you can see, this approach makes for a more concise summary with far greater impact. Personal statements are better than objective ones because they demonstrate what you as a candidate can offer the employer.
2. Build your experience around achievements:
All of your past experience should be written as a list of achievements and not as a long list of duties and responsibilities. Responsibility-based CVs fail to show the recruiter or hiring manager how you went above and beyond the basic requirements of your role. An achievements-based CV allows the employer to quickly see what sets you apart from everyone else and what you will bring to the company.
3. Use condensed sentences:
Your achievements should be written in bullet points using professional shorthand. Do not write whole sentences like: "I coordinated and managed all of the day-to-day operations of the west coast sales division". This statement should read: "Coordinated and managed day-to-day operations of west coast sales division". This sentence now makes more of an impact while also saving you valuable space on your CV.
4. Integrate keywords:
With large volumes of applications being received from job seekers every day, recruiters have had to enlist the assistance of automated keyword search algorithms to sift through CVs. Make sure that you optimise your CV with appropriate keywords related to the job you are applying for. You can find many of these keywords within the job ad description.
5. Don't cram your CV onto one page:
Not all CVs need to be kept to one page. Sometimes jobseekers can take this guideline too far and can use elaborate means to squeeze their professional experience onto one single A4 page. In some instances they achieve this by simply reducing the font size. Such tactics are counterproductive and will only make your CV difficult to read. If you have considerable experience, qualifications and achievements, trying to compress your professional career is only doing you a disservice.
The ideal maximum length of your CV should not exceed one and three quarter pages. One quick way of reducing the word count would be to remove extraneous detail like your date of birth, hobbies and such things as closing statements, for example: "References available on request". Employers and recruiters already know they must request your references, this sentence has come to mean: "This is the end of my CV".

Therapeutic measures for mammary cancer have been largely contingent upon recognition of clinically established tumors. Increased publicity has brought small or "earlier" tumors to the surgeon's attention, and in the wake of this publicity many biopsies have been performed for benign conditions. In spite of self-examination by women and periodic clinical checkups, the over-all five-year survival rate for persons with this condition still remains about 30%. The most accepted therapeutic procedure for mammary cancer at present is radical surgery with or without irradiation. Biopsy, preferably with frozen section, usually precedes operation in the case of a clinically suspicious lesion. Accordingly, approximately five women undergo biopsy for a benign lesion for each cancer detected microscopically. This procedure leaves much to be desired. In most cases the biopsy is only diagnostic of the lesion examined. This may lead to a serious oversight in women with dysplastic breasts having multiple, bilateral, or recurrent

Scheduled to testify are John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy; Gen. William Shelton, commander of the U.S. Air Force Space Command; and NASA Administrator Charles Bolden Jr.
The hearing is scheduled Wednesday at 1 p.m. CST and can be viewed online. However, a snowstorm expected to hit the Washington area Tuesday night could affect the schedule. Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX), also indicated there could be additional testimony by labeling Wednesday's hearing "Part 1."
Congressional leaders want to know if the government is doing all it can to spot potential space threats in time to possibly respond. NASA's Near Earth Objects Program, commonly called SpaceWatch, keeps an eye out for bodies approaching Earth and says it has identified nearly 1,400 potentially hazardous asteroids in space. NASA was tracking the asteroid that passed by Earth on Feb. 15, it did not know about the meteor that caused the explosion over Russia.

Google India has announced on its official blog that they have now launched a Google Hindi input app for Android thus making it super easy for the already dominant OS to penetrate deeper into the Indian heartland. This will make the mobile platform very accessible for Hindi speakers and they can thus communicate clearly with other Hindi speaking people rather than using English characters to express themselves. Once you download the Google Hindi app from Google Play, it integrates with the system wide keyboard on Android and gives an option for you to select Hindi. The Hindi input works in two different ways. [Show as slideshow] If you are a Hindi speaker but find it taxing to type in pure Devanagari characters, you can use the transliteration option. Using this you can just input a regular Hindi word in English characters and it will be converted to Devanagari script. The second option is to use Devanagari characters right from the keyboard. This requires you be fluent in the word and sentence construction. Since keyboards are made primarily for English, it is a bit of a challenge to implement the various nuances of Devanagari or any other unique script for that matter. For Devanagari, the keyboard offers special long press actions which get you the right character of your choice. Google has said that even though Hindi is the first Indic language to be supported on Android, they will be making efforts to include other languages and dialects over the course of time. This is brilliant as it gets more regional users to get easy access to smartphones and ultimately the web. This gives Indian web companies a clear advantage as their userbase will keep growing. I would suggest that web and mobile companies pay greater attention to regional language speakers because these are the guys who will ultimately drive the sector to new lengths. Note: Android doesn't support Hindi by default and this app requires that your manufacturer has enabled Devanagari font support on your phone failing which the app won't work as shown.
