The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is related to age. Anticoagulation is highly effective in preventing stroke in patients with AF, but the risk of hemorrhage may be increased in older patients. We reviewed the available epidemiologic data to define the age and sex distribution of people with AF. From four large recent population-based surveys, we estimated the overall age- and gender-specific prevalence of AF. These estimates were applied to the recent US census data to calculate the number of men and women with AF in each age group. There are an estimated 2.2 million people in the United States with AF, with a median age of about 75 years. The prevalence of AF is 2.3% in people older than 40 years and 5.9% in those older than 65 years. Approximately 70% of individuals with AF are between 65 and 85 years of age. The absolute number of men and women with AF is about equal. After age 75 years, about 60% of the people with AF are women. In contrast to people with AF in the general population, patients with AF in recent anticoagulation trials had a mean age of 69 years, and only 20% were older than 75 years. The risks and benefits of antithrombotic therapy in older individuals are important considerations in stroke prevention in AF.

Thank you all for your comments.
However, there is something I'm still missing from what has been
said: why are we thinking to a single, complete and comprehensive
policy language rather than to more languages used to express the
same policy by different people?
I mean, I agree with all of you that the definition of a complete
security policy language is almost impossible and probably useless.
And absolutely agree with Marcus that at the end the complexity will
become overwhelming.
Jean-Denis wrote that "The problem is that the main part of a
security policy is not technical but
organizationnal, and have to deal with human behavior!", many of you
said the same thing and I perfectly agree.
For the same reason we always speak different "languages" with
different people even when talking about the same issue, and this is
what I'm thinking to, let people at different organizational levels
express the security policy, for what they are in charge of, in a
language that they can understand and we can parse.
For instance, Tina's example "No personal use of Company X e-mail
facilities is allowed." is typical enterprise level policy which is
actually a fuzzy poorly-defined problem from a technical standpoint
but that's the current enterprise language and often the language
used by many privacy protection & data management laws and
regulations. And such vague statement must still be enforced by
someone in some technical way.
We miss a logical mapping between the meaning of "personal use"
specified by the enterprise-level policy and all fitering and denials
implemented somehow by a security admin to enforce it.
The consequence is that no functional constraint can be automatically
produced from the enterprise statement for the low-level security
policy (say for instance a content inspection device configuration)
and there is no way to automatically (or semi-automatically) check
whether the actual security configuration complies with the "personal
use" defined by the enterprise policy.
The whole mapping between the enterprise policy and the configuration/
verification is a manual task that a human must do, and we all know
that it is perfectly fine when humans are skilled, expert,
collaborative etc., but unfortunately this is not the case in most
Couldn't we think to different security policy languages, at
different abstraction layers to let people speak their "own" language?
From an enterprise policy we could derive logical constraints for
the lower level that could be, say, an "administration level" that
adds more details about the meaning of "personal use" like, for
instance "no picture or multimedia attachment can be exchanged", and
so on until the technical security policy that must specify ports, IP
addresses or configuration files of security devices.
With a framework that maps policies at different logical levels, a
partial automatic definition/verification of the security
configuration with respect to the enterprise security policy
(perhaps ...) could be done. We avoid fully automated solutions that
have already proved to be a wrong path but still we could drive
security configurations.
Ok, I know that this is probably (or certainly) completely
unrealistic because for real-world policies the complexity is still
overwhelming, but, at least in theory, why not thinking to a layered
security policy with every layer expressed with a language that
people logically in charge of that layer can understand?
Stephen, is this something that resemble somehow to your "think about
think about developing a grammar specification"?

Spurs at Magic Give and Go Preview
The Spurs go into the Amway Center in Orlando tonight to take on the Magic and their new head coach, former Spurs assistant coach Jacque Vaughn. The Magic are fourth out of five teams in the Southeast Division thanks to Vaughn getting a lot out of his Magic players and the Washington Wizards being terrible.
Tonight's game is the third of a four games in five nights stretch, so there's a chance we could see some guys rest, but I doubt it (now that I've said publicly that I don't think anyone will sit out, expect Manu Ginobili, Tim Duncan and Tony Parker to rest). For more on the Magic, we brought in Eddy Rivera of ESPN TrueHoop Network site Magic Basketball to talk about how Orlando is doing this season.
Andrew McNeill, 48 Minutes of Hell: First, how is Orlando enjoying the Jacque Vaughn era?
Eddy Rivera, Magic Basketball: I'd say Magic fans are pretty pleased with him. In a short amount of time, Vaughn has proven that he's capable of maximizing the roster's potential. In many ways, he reminds me of the work Doc Rivers did in 2000 with the "Heart and Hustle" team as a rookie head coach.
AM: What specifically has he done well to get the most out of this team?
ER: He puts players in positions to succeed and play to their strengths. It's amazing to see how many coaches struggle with that concept.
AM: On the floor, where has Orlando been strong? Where do the excel, if anywhere?
ER: The Magic are ranked 8th in defensive efficiency, so defense has been a strong suit for them. Two big reasons: Orlando ranks 1st in 3-point defense (opponents shoot 30.7 percent) and free-throw "defense" (opponents shoot 68.8 percent). The problem is that both 3-point and free throw shooting are independent of defenses faced, so it's unlikely that those numbers will hold the remainder of the season. They may and if they do, I'd chalk that up more to randomness than anything the Magic are doing defensively.
AM: Who is considered the "go-to guy" for the Magic? Or, who should the Spurs worry about the most defensively?
ER: J.J. Redick. There's other "go-to" players for Orlando on offense, but Redick is the guy that defenses should key in on the most. He's a dynamic player offensively, particularly off the ball, where he tortures defenders with his seemingly endless off-ball movement.
AM: Do you feel like the Magic is outperforming expectations at this point in the season?
ER: Totally, and that's a credit to the players for playing hard and for Vaughn coaching his butt off. That being said, I do think the Magic will regress to the mean eventually. Where does that mean fall in terms of win total? I have no clue at this point. I will say this — Orlando better hope that win total lands them somewhere close to the worst record in the NBA.
AM: Do you see this game being close at all, assuming the Spurs play all their healthy guys?
ER: I expect the Spurs to win pretty handily.
AM: Last thing before I let you go. I need one random prediction that has nothing to do with the final score.
ER: I predict Big Baby to miss a lot of shots (too easy, I know).
AM: Can I get a specific number and/or shooting percentage?
ER: Let's go with 42 percent, which is his average for the season.
AM: Number of misses?
ER: Nine missed shots.

Q. I guess the one advantage maybe to the long layoff is you've had an opportunity to get used to not having the bottom part of your visor on.
SIDNEY CROSBY: Yeah, I mean, that has not been a big adjustment. It's been nice being able to see a little bit better. But other than that, you know, I think it's just something that I'm sure at some point was going to happen. Glad I was able to take it off and feels a lot better without it.
Q. Do you think the Bruins might test you a little bit, maybe come up high or maybe come in?
SIDNEY CROSBY: Maybe. I mean, I'm sure whether I broke a jaw or not, I'm sure they will be pretty physical and try to finish their hits, everything you could expect in the playoffs. So I don't think that really changes anything I don't think.
Q. Do you feel normal without the bottom part?
SIDNEY CROSBY: Yeah, the first couple of days, it felt weird. You wear it that long and then you've got to wear a full face for that long, it definitely took a couple days, but it's much better and obviously really happy that was able to get it off.
Q. Are you at all superstition, playing so well now, that if you take it off, it could change anything?
SIDNEY CROSBY: No, not that way. I'm superstitious but not to that point. I think if it's something they felt comfortable with, and honestly, I've played a long time without wearing a full face, so I was glad to get it off.
Q. Seeing Jarome continuing on, do you expect any more competitive motivation for him to have a good series?
SIDNEY CROSBY: I don't think?? I think he's pretty motivated. But if he does use that, then great. You know, I mean, whatever it takes.
But I think for him, I think he's pre I focused at this point on making sure he plays well for other reasons besides that.
Q. Ray Shero said he didn't know anything abouthim (inaudible) so he asked a couple players, I assume you being one of them, playing so much with him on Team Canada, what did you tell him?
SIDNEY CROSBY: I just told him what a great guy he was, what a great player he was, and he's just a true professional. Obviously he's been a captain for a long time, and you know, to add a guy with that type of character, that kind of experience, I think we're pretty lucky to have him. All good things.
Q. Did he fit in better than maybe you expected? Has he had a better adjustment than maybe you guys had predicted?
SIDNEY CROSBY: Yeah, maybe. I mean, like you said, it was pretty short. It was quick. But on top of that, we added, was it four guys, pretty quickly there, within a short period of time.
I think it worked out as best as it could have and I think that says a lot about the guys and their character and obviously our team, but we did have some injuries to it at that time, which might have helped them make that transition a little easier. So, a lot of things, but definitely pretty smooth.

Party at the Palace
Queen Elizabeth Celebrates 50 Years on the Throne with Pop, Pomp and a Royal Welcome for Camilla
It also showed a side of the typically staid Camilla that few had ever seen. When Phil Collins crooned the opening lines of "You Can't Hurry Love," the 54-year-old divorced mother of two—no stranger to romance deferred, having first fallen for Charles more than 25 years ago—sang along. And when Welsh crooner Tom Jones took the mike, she even joined in with the lyrics to "Sex Bomb."
God save the Queen indeed. But Palace insiders say the public showing, along with Camilla's appearance two nights earlier at another Jubilee concert, provides the strongest evidence yet that Charles, 53, is gaining ground in his campaign to officially bring Camilla into the family fold. The Queen "has seen the logic of it, that in her Jubilee year she doesn't want to be falling out with her son," says Christopher Wilson, author of the Camilla biography The Windsor Knot. "This has all been done for the sake of family unity, and I think Charles has won the day."
The Prince of Wales certainly seemed to be celebrating. Taking the stage at the Jubilee rock concert, he lavished praise on his 76-year-old mother. "Your Majesty...Mummy!" he said to thunderous applause from the 1 million-plus revelers. "We are here tonight because above all, we feel proud of you." The Queen returned the compliment the following day at a luncheon at the Guildhall in London, where she expressed her "admiration for the Prince of Wales and for all he has achieved for this country."
Following the strain between the Queen and her oldest son over his messy '96 divorce from Princess Diana and his at-times scandalous romance with Camilla, Elizabeth's declaration "shows that there has been a patching up and a mending of relationships," says Wilson. Others note that the death of the Queen Mum in March has mellowed Elizabeth. "It is almost as if she is able to be an older woman now," says a Palace source. "She can say, 'I want to slow down.'"
Maybe so, but that didn't stop the Jubilee celebrations from going at full throttle. After a temporary setback—a small fire at Buckingham Palace on June 2 that caused some water damage but no injuries—the celebration blasted into full swing with Queen guitarist Brian May's rockin' rendition of "God Save the Queen" from the palace rooftop. And although Prince William, 19, was seen sticking his fingers in his ears to turn down the volume, his father seemed to enjoy the din. "He has a lovely little silver engraved box that Phil Collins gave him with some earplugs in it," says May. "Apparently he carries them around with him in his suit pocket. And he said, 'I was delighted not to have to use them today.'"
Still, a classical-music concert on June 1 seemed more Charles's speed, even if Camilla appeared unnerved by all the attention. Touching her hair and licking her lips when a camera projected her image onto a giant screen, she took her seat one row behind Charles. Two nights later her positioning at the rock concert reflected Camilla's status as "a VIP rather than a VVIP," quips a Palace source.
When it comes to her place in Charles's heart, however, she is clearly the latter, and royal insiders predict the couple could become engaged to marry as early as the fall. "Charles is ready to commit in the hope that the public will go along with him," says Wilson. "He will say, 'This is the woman I need and want.' I think he is preparing himself for a bold statement of that kind."

market up 110...deck down $1.10
its testing the bottom of the channel again. this is normal and has done it for past week. expect 3-6% move higher tomorrow to retest high point in channel
I'm thinking the same. We've been seeing a lot of resistance at the $42 level in the past 2 months. It backs off everytime after touching the $42ish level. No difference this time but the base support is higher each time. With earnings a week away, it should remain above $40 and will ride higher with some seesawing along the way. We need a lot of momentum to push thru $42 and close at that level.
Any myriad of reasons. Profit taking, investors thinking a better investment elsewhere. The world does not revolve around you and deck.
Risk/Reward being weighed all the time by man and machine, hence volatilt. Sorry it is't "easy" for you.
well stock market moves up and down. Stocks don't always follow the market but when you see a divergence like this you just wonder if there was a news release that you might've missed. For example, ANR is down 4% because ACI reported bad earnings. This is a message board where people share information....or at least it used to be until people like you showed up

The Skinny (magazine)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Music, Arts, Culture, Listings
|32,191 (ABC, 31 Dec 2014)[1]
|Radge Media
|First issue
|May, 2005
The Skinny is a 72-page monthly publication distributed in approximately 600 establishments throughout the cities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and the region of Fife in Scotland. Founded in 2005, the magazine features interviews and articles on music, art, film, comedy and other aspects of Scottish culture.
The Skinny was founded and launched in 2005 as a free Edinburgh and Glasgow listings magazine. From the outset, the magazine secured interviews with high-profile music acts, including Mogwai, Pearl Jam, GZA and Muse.
In August 2006, The Skinny formed a partnership with established Edinburgh Festival magazine Fest. The first year of this partnership saw the publication renamed SkinnyFest, before it reverted to the title Fest in 2007.
In May 2007, The Skinny began to distribute copies in Dundee in a move that was presented as the first step in a plan to establish distribution throughout Scotland.
The Skinny was originally set up as a social enterprise and sustained this way of working until July 2007, when it became a private company limited by shares in order to take on new investment.
In September 2007, The Skinny printed a Student Guide. The guide was distributed through a number of Scottish universities and art colleges.
In December 2007, The Skinny ran a conference on the future of the music industry called ON:07, in the Reid Hall at the University of Edinburgh. The delegates included Peter Jenner, former manager of Pink Floyd and The Clash, and secretary-general of the International Music Managers Forum; Simon Frith, Tovey Professor of Music at Edinburgh University and the founder of the Mercury Prize for music; Evan Cohen, Director of Strategy and Communications for social-networking website Bebo; and Will Page, Executive Director of Research for the MCPS-PRS Alliance. As keynote speaker Peter Jenner called for a standard charge to be applied to Internet Service Provider connections to cover all music downloads – effectively a form of music tax.
In April 2008, The Skinny launched a new website, moving listings information online and providing guides to venues around Scotland.
The Skinny launched its Northwest edition in April 2013, focusing on cultural happenings in Manchester and Liverpool.
As a listings magazine, The Skinny largely runs content that relates to events taking place within its catchment area during the month covered by the issue.[2] This consists for the most part of previews, reviews, and feature interviews.
In March 2007, the magazine secured the first UK interview with Arcade Fire after the release of hit album Neon Bible. The following month, it secured the first UK magazine cover for the band Battles in anticipation of the release of their debut album Mirrored.
In July 2007, the magazine ran an "opposites issue", which took an unusual slant on The Skinny's usual content, and featured the first reversed-logo masthead on a UK magazine.
The Skinny has established itself as a 'media partner' for a range of events, including Edinburgh International Film Festival, Edinburgh International Book Festival, Edinburgh Art Festival and Glasgay, and has previously had a long-running association with popular music radio station Xfm Scotland.
In 2006, Jasper Hamill won the Press Gazette / Reuters Student Interviewer of the Year, for his piece "Another View" – an interview with avant-garde musician John Cale.
Also in 2006, Miles Johnson was awarded the Allen Wright Award for Excellence in Journalism for his feature "Bowling with The Hamiltons", beating off competition from The Scotsman, The List and the Sunday Herald.
In November 2011 the Advertising Standards Authority determined that the publication had breached CAP Code (Edition 12) rules 3.1, 3.3 (Misleading advertising), 8.2 and 8.15 (Sales promotions) in a promotion shown in the April edition. This was due to an insufficient deadline being provided for a non time-specific prize which was administered in conjunction with Edinburgh International Science Festival.[3]

Featured Golf News
Regional Golf Associations Announce New Fundraising Event
A partnership between the Pacific Northwest Golf Association, Oregon Golf Association, Pacific Northwest Section PGA, Oregon State University, University of Oregon and GoodPlay Media has created the Civil War Golf Event 2010, a new fundraising event to benefit the UO and OSU Alumni Association's Scholarship Funds and Oregon Junior Golf.
Alumni, students, and supporters representing the two universities will compete against each other to raise the most in total donations from November 18 through December 4 (the day of OU-OSU's annual Civil War football game).
Golfers may register for the event online at www.RivalryGolf4Charity.com/CivilWar.com and play on any golf course anywhere in the country, and play as many times as desired. The entry fee is $50, plus the cost of greens fees, if applicable. Golfers may reserve specially discounted tee times online at www.PlayGolf4Charity.com at more than 2,300 courses nationwide. Participating golfers are encouraged to post their score(s) online, interact with others via embedded social media connections and view the real-time leader scoreboard. The university that raises the most in charitable funds during the event will be announced at halftime of the Civil War football game.
The Pacific Northwest Section PGA will also host regional single-day Civil War 2010 golf tournaments at participating golf courses in Oregon throughout the event. Golfers can access the event calendar on the www.rivalrygolf4charrity.com/civilwar.com web page to see participating courses, event dates and make advanced reservations.
"We encourage our alumni, students and friends to participate in the Civil War Golf Event 2010 regardless of skill level and geographic proximity," said Dan Rodriquez, Director of Alumni Relations for the University of Oregon. "The objective is to facilitate maximum participation across the country and to raise money for our school's scholarship program."
Eric Schoenstein, former OSU Alumni Association board president added, "This tournament raises money for student scholarships while giving us a fun competition that helps us bond with other Oregon Staters and generate Civil War excitement."
Every participant who registers will receive a $10 Golfsmith cash card, redeemable online or at any Golfsmith retail store, and a commemorative Civil War 2010 golf hat.

Json.NET - deserialization 2899ms, serialization 1447ms
ServiceS - deserialization 1235ms, serialization 985ms
Some interesting finding with WP8. While ServiceStack is slightly faster on iOS and completely obliterates Json.NET on Android, the tables are turned in WP8. ServiceStack still handles serialization faster but takes twice the time in de-serializing (tested with a low end Lumia 521, next up will be a Lumia 1020 but I doubt that will have much effect other than total times).
I don't know why you are running these benchmarks, but the speed of ServiceStack has already been benchmarked and proved faster than many alternatives: http://www.servicestack.net/benchmarks/NorthwindDatabaseRowsSerialization.1000000-times.2010-02-06.html
Those are for desktop (and I believe Windows .NET runtime, not Mono) benchmarks. The results can be quite different on different platforms and certainly on something so different as Xamarin.iOS is.
These serializers also implement a common interface so you can use them both in PCL's through DI. With some configuration it is also possible to mix-and-match them if necessary.
The portable version of protobuf-net seems to need some work as it currently has trouble passing the unit tests.
Thank you for sharing Sami. Always interesting/good to know. For now this little one still is pretty tightly coupled to the full .NET:
(significant use of IL emit), but if anyone from this community does have firm interest in that sort of effort, I might consider trying the code downgrade for it to be able to run on our dear mobiles. Just let me know (via the GitHub).
Your code compiles without changes for Android. I assume it is only a deserializer without a serializer? All I can say from the below times is that if you are running on Android and using large data sets you should avoid Json.NET if possible.

FastJson took 1798ms deserializing 100000 iterations.
JsonNet took 16899ms deserializing 100000 iterations.
ServiceStack took 1905ms deserializing 100000 iterations.
FastJson took 1341ms deserializing 1 iterations.
JsonNet took 11005ms deserializing 1 iterations.
ServiceStack took 3188ms deserializing 1 iterations.
It seems like your deserializer fails on DateTimeOffset.
I created a hybrid FastJson/ServiceStack plugin serializer for my test framework:
For WP8 support the code needs to change from SortedList to Dictionary (seems easy change) and some changes to enum handling (GetEnumUnderlyingType is not supported).
iOS, now that's another story...
Any of you tried Jil? https://github.com/kevin-montrose/Jil
Thanks for the hint. I was able to compile Sigil and Jil for Android, wrap the JSON (de)serializer inside a common interface but speed tests have to wait until later tonight.
I just took care of having GetEnumUnderlyingType for all platforms hopefully @ latest commit eb288af83a
I'll have to work on the replacement for SortedList on WP8 later tonight, as the code in a few places relies internally on that computed lexicographical order.
Replacement for SortedList (n/a on WP8) taken care of @ commit 7aee70ef74 (and also updated the NuGet, with v1.7).
Thanks for the hints,

JsonNet took 4816ms serializing 100000 iterations.
ServiceStack took 2418ms serializing 100000 iterations.
It looks though that Jil failed all of the sanity checks.
I didn't know Jil would come also with a parser/deserializer... it seems a tough one to beat, then!
Turned out Jil required a different interface, Serialize<(T obj) instead of Serialize(object obj) to work.

ServiceStack 2197ms 133%
JsonNet 17147ms 1035%
@SKall... if you get a chance, I'd be especially interested to know about the parsers perfs on the device re: these two specific tests I prepared at my project page:
1) the "highly nested arrays" test, with an input JSON I borrowed from Peter Ohler's "Oj" page
2) the "dicos" test, with an input JSON using an enum type and a list of dictionaries
These tests are interesting I think because of the discrepancies between implementations we can observe easily on the desktop, and also for their non-trivial payloads. Just 10K and 100K iterations should be enough to give us a good idea, I suppose (to account for init warm up, etc)
Thank you again for this feedback above.

@SKall... Thank you, Sami, great feedback
On this one test run, three remarks:
1) interesting, because providing support for deserialization into instances of
(I)Dictionary<TKey, TValue>
(where "TKey" is something else than just "string") is a use case that I wanted to support, and I just didn't know yet if Jil would pass this one.
2) and on the same, btw, I found out that (on the desktop and for JSON.NET v5.0 r8, anyway) JSON.NET is in fact able to deserialize OK that very shape of input:
"Dictionaries" : [
[ { "Key": "Key0", "Value": "value at key 0" },
... ]
but then you need to use the POCO "DictionaryDataAdaptJsonNetServiceStack" that I prepared for it and for ServiceStack (as opposed to just the "DictionaryData" which is more straightforward C# to express the intent, and that my parser groks fine, yes ;-)
3) finally, the difference between the respective memory consumptions most likely precisely comes from the fact that we instantiate a List-of-List-of-KeyValuePairs in the former POCO, more lightweight than the List-of-Dictionaries in the latter (with its simpler expression in C# coming at the cost of .NET's Dictionaries being "heavier" to allocate than Lists)
So, maybe make sure you use a JSON.NET >= v5.0 r8 if you want it to pass that, and get the corresponding timing for the curious.
Thanks again,

Cool! Thank you, Sami, that's indeed nice input, and quite encouraging for me, especially since I just had no clue until two days ago of where that might take us / "it"
Laterz, Cheers,
It does seem like a hybrid FastJson/ServiceStack serializer class might be a good and fast option for Android. If I am working with a backend built for the mobile client then it is worth noting ServiceStack has one nice function built in, being able to deserialize interfaces (by injecting the class name in the JSON output on serialization).
All changes and tests are now on GitHub. You can use interface ITextSerializer (or IJsonSerializer if you want to be specific) from a PCL library SimplyMobile.Text and then inject the desired serializer at runtime. This way you don't need any code changes on iOS where FastJson isn't available.
I will try WP8 sometime later next week.
@SKall... that makes sense and sounds good. I'll give a try at implementing that ServiceStack's interface deserialization capability in my System.Text.Json.JsonParser (that you call "FastJson"), as well.
Seems like it's a useful feature nice to have around, yes.
The only (and significant) reserve I have for now re: this lean parser, is it does need, still, much more of conformance/unit tests, before people consider using it any seriously in their apps for Android (or WP8 later on).
I can only encourage them to contribute their input test cases at the project home, and to raise over there all the bug-related issues they may find. I'd like to tackle all such those in priority, before whatever feature requests.

Eight Crazy Nights
First, Adam Sandler stretched his acting muscle like a 100 lb. weakling trying to stretch a rubber hose with his turn in "Punch Drunk Love." Now Sandler is trying to ride the coattails of "South Park" by creating his own animated musical. I think it's about time Sandler stopped trying to impersonate a talented person and go back to whatever he was doing before acting, like flipping burgers or detailing cars.
Of all things, this is a Hanukkah film, which ranks right up there alongside Groundhog Day in Jewish holiday importance. Of course, you can't do an animated Jewish film on Yom Kippur because none of the mostly Christian audience would know what the hell you were talking about. Give them an animated film about buying gifts and they get that, though I don't think any film should be made about a holiday that nobody seems to spell the same.
The animated character that looks like Sandler is named Davey Stone, and he's a complete jackass. In fact, this whole film is mean, unpleasant, unfunny, and boring. If it wasn't for the boring and unfunny parts, I would have loved it. Unfortunately, Stone has a bug up his ass over the fact his parents died when he was a kid and now he's taking it out on an entire town by drinking heavily and being a complete nuisance. Just as he's about to go to prison for 10 years, a nice old hairy guy named Whitey volunteers to keep an eye on Davey for the judge.
Davey then proceeds to treat Whitey like shit (a word that is used over and over again in this PG-13 film, suggesting that the ratings board is about as useful as having Anna Nicole Smith on your Trivial Pursuit team). Davey even shoves an outhouse down a hill with Whitey in it (didn't we see this on "Jackass"?). Is this all Sandler's got? Throw in a few songs that are about as creative as a medley from a Kansas dinner theater and "Eight Crazy Nights" is enough to drive you crazy with boredom.

Hi Experts,
I am working for a project composite manufacturing company. Around 2 year back SAP has implemented and now they require a warehouse management module. Already they have batch managed materials, Please guide me how to process further. Also I need a information when we go for handling unit management and currently they are having kitting process how to map kitting in SAP.
For WM implementation. first need to create organizational levels like ware houise number, storage type storage section storage bin and quant. Q uant is the master data.The material master record need to extend to the WM views.
Need to define put away and picking strategies. Nedd to do seetings for physical inventory.
Means of handling the material is called handling unit. For datatile under standing of HUM, please follow below link.
Creation of KIT depends on two ways. 1.KIT to stock & 2.KIT to order.
Pleas refer below links in this regard. Thanking you.
WHy you need HU?
Answer is - There are two major reasons to do HU in a plant:
1- Goods issue fdorm plant to Distribution center - You need to bar code a label
2 - Distribution center - Performs GR via RF terminal into external WH system
If you do HU then storage location has to be HU managed which means all materials in storage loc be HU managed.
I hope this clears you doubt.

Taking the kids out of school in term time? It's hardly criminal
Stewart and Natasha Sutherland have been punished by a new law which allows councils to fine parents who fail to ensure that their children attend school
Stewart and Natasha Sutherland have been punished by a new law which allows councils to fine parents who fail to ensure that their children attend school.
The Shropshire couple and their three children, aged 15, 13 and six, returned home from a week-long break to Rhodes last September to find they had been fined £360 for taking the youngsters out of school during term-time.
This was soon doubled to £720 because they did not stump up quickly enough.
The Sutherlands had delayed payment because they wanted to appeal, but — tough luck, kiddos! — Telford Council doesn't have an appeals system for this most heinous of 'crimes'. So, including costs, their bill following the court case is now nearly £1,000.
The hard-working couple — he works for the Ministry of Defence Guard Service, doing 12-hour day and night shifts, she has a part-time job — had originally asked for permission for the break, and when it was refused they decided to go anyway. It was their first family holiday in five years.
Mr Sutherland said that he simply could not get the time off during the school holidays and that he viewed family time together as important.
And, of course, everyone knows that vacations are much cheaper during term-time, to a degree that sometimes seems obscene. The price of air travel plummets, those crippling supplements vanish, along with the crowds.
For parents, the temptation to shade it a few days into term-time must be immense.
But if everyone did that, there would be anarchy in the classroom. It cannot be allowed, that is obvious.
In addition, holiday truanting is not fair on the other parents, and even less fair on the other children, whose schooling might be disrupted as the truants catch up.
Even so, how has it all come to this? Couldn't a little common sense and goodwill have been shown by the local authorities? Not least because the Sutherland children have an excellent attendance record and are good pupils.
The hardworking couple were refused permission to take their three children on holiday to Rhodes
They seem such a nice family, struggling like everyone else under the cosh of harsh economics and modern life. Taking the kids for a week in the sunshine and fresh air of Rhodes? It's hardly letting them roam the streets until midnight, or teaching them how to smoke crack and shoplift.
If they had done that, of course, they'd have been given a generous grant, official help, a new home and a free pardon. Or at least a Channel 4 series.
You've got to wonder if the parents of persistent truants — surely the real target of this new law — are pursued with the same zeal as the Sutherlands have been.

Or has this couple been made an example of; their fate an indication of what future potential lawbreakers might expect?
It seems particularly unfair in an age when teachers go on strike when they please, and schools shut because of staff issues or weather conditions.
Mr Sutherland has said that even once the monies have been paid, they will still be better off than if they'd gone away earlier. Yes — but that's a scant consolation for having a criminal record, I'll warrant.
The Sutherlands are just going to have to chalk this episode down on the blackboard of bitter experience and move on. Still, it's a curious world we live in when a hard-working family can't have a holiday together without being dragged through the courts like common criminals.
What they did was wrong; but there are degrees of wrongness, and the penalty seems harsh.
Perhaps their real misfortune was to be ordinary people; folks who are not members of the string-pulling fraternity, the cutting-corners club, the turn-a-blind-eye brigade, those with friends in high places, the 'don't you don't you know who I am?' specialists.
Sometimes I can't help but feel that if you are white, working class, tax-paying, law-abiding, dutiful citizens who — just once! — take a tiny step out of line, then you can expect absolutely no quarter from anyone. Ever.
Meanwhile, two public school pupils get the January blues and run away to the Caribbean.
Edward Bunyan and Indira Gainiyeva, who both board at posh
£29,439-a-year Stonyhurst College near Clitheroe, Lancashire, were on,
like, a major downer. Friends said the 16-year-olds were suffering
post-Christmas holiday blues.
They climbed over the walls at night, took a £100 taxi to the airport and flew to a Dominican Republic beach resort with tickets they'd bought online.
Kids today, eh? In
my time, playing truant from school meant walking six miles in bare
feet to spend thruppence at the picture house to see the latest Myrna
Loy or Trevor Howard flick.
On a sunny day, you could maybe hang around the War Memorial or try on lipsticks in Woolworths.
Them's were the days!
Not for Eddie and Indy, who seem to have an alarming amount of cash at their disposal.
And how did they manage it? I thought under-18s were not allowed to travel unaccompanied on a plane?
Still, if Ed Miliband and Alex Salmond have their way, the physics class fugitives will soon be allowed to vote. Perish the thought.
I admire their derring-do. Their independent spirit and planning abilities are to be applauded.
And it's a refreshing change from pupils running away with teachers.
However, in this instance, I DO blame the parents. All that money in their bank accounts?
If you want the cash, don't whinge about your fans
One Direction star Liam Payne has complained about fans waiting outside his home
Liam Payne from boy-band One Direction has complained about fans waiting outside his home.
He tweeted: 'Can people please stop waiting outside. I'd just like to be able to walk outside as everyone else does.'
Liam. A word. Since the day One Direction were formed inside the brain of Simon Cowell, their sole purpose has been to incite fervour in the hearts of their teenybopper fan base — and turn that adulation into hard cash.
Slushy records are released capitalising on that emotion; band members ruthlessly market themselves across social media to keep in touch with their gagging fans. Last year they even launched a make-up range and perfume. It doesn't get much more cynical than that.
Called Little Things, the range featured flavoured lipsticks, cheek tints and nail polishes. 'Liam loves blueberry!' the marketing campaign promised. His face was on every bottle of emerald-green nail polish.
Everyone is entitled to the privacy of a home life, unencumbered by the public.
Yet after exploiting these teens so relentlessly for so long, should Liam be surprised if the blueberry-scented, green-taloned hordes turn up on his doorstep — and won't go away?
Not a leader, just a coward
Valerie Trierweiler's condition might be rather more serious than the official stress and exhaustion quoted by friends.
Whatever the truth of the matter, she is still laid up in a Paris hospital, recovering from the news that her lover has taken a lover — the 41-year-old French actress Julie Gayet.
And how shaming that her two-timing partner, the French President Francois Hollande, has not even been to visit her. How callous and cowardly of him!
A nation can survive its fools and the ambitious; it can even endure Gerard Depardieu and Eric Cantona.
Yet what a laughing stock to have this shabby, selfish, adolescent little cad as a leader. Such a second-rate Pepe le Pew is not just unworthy of high office, he is unworthy of these women.
Valerie Trierweiler's condition might be rather more serious than the official stress and exhaustion quoted by friends...
The French can sniff all they like about this being a private matter, but patently it is not.
Trierweiler has an office and five assistants paid for by the state, plus jets and limos at her disposal.
Mistress Julie Gayet, as she represents France on missions abroad, has been put forward by the Hollande administration for a plum job on a cultural committee.
A country needs to know these things; troubling little details about privilege and patronage that those in power would rather keep secret. These are secrets that have to be aired, not kept in the shadows.
The problem with Carol's trying on trousers?
The trouble with Carol's trousers
Carol Vorderman has a pair of 'trying-on trousers'; an old and tight pair of lime-green horrors that tell her when she is putting on weight.
Cough, cough. Are you going to tell her something else about them, or am I? Specifically, that there hasn't been such a bad case of 'camel toe' since the all-comers, 1,000-yard dash at the Al Marmoum Camel Racetrack in Dubai.
And if you don't understand what camel toe is? Suffice it to say that what's really interesting is that Carol doesn't have a best friend to tell her the terrible truth about her trews.
How can women vote Lib Dem now?
Question of the week: Why is Dave Lee Travis in the dock while Lord Rennard has escaped any censure?
The BBC radio presenter is on trial facing numerous allegations of indecent assault, which include breast fondling and general groping.
The Lib Dem peer has just been investigated for behaving inappropriately towards women in his party for years.
He is refusing to apologise and the nasty party is sweeping the whole sorry mess under the carpet. Shameful.
I can't understand why any woman would want to associate herself with the Lib Dems, let alone vote for them, ever again.
Here is Russell Brand on new love Katy Perry in 2009: 'You'll think it frivolous of me to say I knew I'd marry her on that first date. From the first date, I changed. No more women.
Russel's odd brand of devotion
'Well, actually, thousands of women. I wake up to a different one each day, they're all her.
'She chose me, bottled me and cuffed me. And now this is my life, my girl, this beautiful woman.'
Now here is Russell Brand on new love Jemima Khan in 2014: 'I'm very, very happy in a relationship that feels very different from anything I've experienced before.
Friend of Julian Assange, lover of Hugh Grant, and now Russell Brand - Jemima has terrible taste in men
'I feel like it's grounded in friendship and a sort of love, and it's all well cool and exciting and stuff.
'She's a gorgeous, beautiful woman.'
Watch out Jemima!
What is amazing is that for an educated, sophisticated heiress and socialite, she has such terrible taste in men.
Friend of Julian Assange, lover of Hugh Grant, and now Russell Brand.
Who's the next notch on her bedpost of shame? Dave Lee Travis?
Can't believe Meryl Streep is up for an Oscar for her role in the film August Osage County.
I love Meryl, but she plays pill-poppin', foul-mouthed, vicious, cancer–ridden matriarch Violet Weston with all the subtlety of Bombardier 'Gloria' Beaumont playing a panto dame in It Ain't Half Hot Mum.
Nominated? 'WHY, GOD, WHY?', as Violet might scream.

THE African National Congress (ANC) on Thursday used its majority muscle to silence opposition calls for a debate over a motion of no confidence in President Jacob Zuma because Parliament's programming committee could not reach consensus on the matter.
This follows a special meeting of the ANC's parliamentary caucus on Wednesday where it was decided that the call for a no-confidence debate be rejected because it was frivolous and playing politics.
Last week, Democratic Alliance (DA) parliamentary leader Lindiwe Mazibuko — on behalf of eight opposition parties — gave notice in the assembly that she would move for a motion of no confidence in the president.
At Thursday's meeting of the programming committee, a request from DA chief whip Watty Watson for the scheduling of such a debate to be placed on the agenda was agreed to by National Assembly speaker Max Sisulu.
Mr Watson said the debate had to be placed on the schedule before the recess started at the end of next week as it was a matter of great importance. He also pointed out that the majority of opposition parties represented wanted the debate.
If the ANC majority refused to allow the debate, he said, it would denigrate the constitution, which provides for debates of no confidence in the president.
ANC chief whip Mathole Motshekga said, however, that he had been sent to the meeting by the ANC caucus to reject the notion of a no-confidence debate "with the contempt it deserves" because the motion was frivolous.
When no consensus could be reached in the meeting, Mr Sisulu noted that the committee always made decisions by consensus and therefore the debate could not be scheduled.
A statement issued by the ANC caucus concluded that "if these opposition parties want a president of their choice, they should wait for the elections in 2014. We will be ready to contest them.
"What we cannot allow, though, is turning this legislature into the only institution in the world in which a matter as serious as a motion of no confidence in the president is turned into a political football, in which desperate opposition parties table such a motion at the slightest provocation. The electoral wishes of the people cannot be undermined and usurped at will.
"Caucus has therefore unanimously decided to oppose the programming of this motion on the order paper of the National Assembly."
The eight opposition parties had asked the National Assembly to resolve, in terms of provision 102(2) of the constitution, that it had no confidence in Mr Zuma on the grounds that, under his leadership:
• the justice system had been weakened and politicised;
• corruption in the public service had spiralled out of control;
• unemployment levels continued to increase;
• the economy was weakening; and
• the right of access to quality education had been violated.
