Guest Letters: 'We had a great vacation. Your house is in a great location. We enjoyed spending time on the beautiful deck, very relaxing....as usual, very hard to leave Martha's Vineyard. Thanks again'.
Guest Letters: 'Thank you for allowing us to share your home for a week. We had a wonderful time'.
This is my home away from home so I take care of the property and enjoy renting to folks who take care as well. I am pleased to have several repeat renters each year...
People really seem to enjoy themselves in this house. I receive many personal notes in the mail each year telling me just how much...
The house is close to town, the beach and the bike path. In addition it is off the beaten track... if you take a sand road you can by-pass the traffic and navigate an easier up-island trip...important in the high season. Also, it is very near Morning Glory Farm ;-)
We invite you to enjoy our home... it is a lovely and peaceful place and our guests seem to thoroughly enjoy themselves there. We have received many, many happy and positive notes in the mail, as well as comments in our home guestbook. These comments make it all the more worthwhile for us to continue to offer our home while you enjoy beautiful Martha's Vineyard. Once you have stayed with us, we hope that you will return to this site and enter a comment here.Regards, Maryann
I was there with four 19 year old boys. We had a great time. The house was very relaxing, clean and efficient. It was a good value. The size was about right. Neighborhood was likewise wonderful with easy access to the bike path, beach and Edgartown. Only problem I had was getting my deposit back from the owner. I am sure the house was rented for several weeks after we used it, so I could not see the logic of the delay especially since my deposit had to get to the landlord promptly before we could move forward with our vacation plans. It took about two months after we left to get my deposit back, and it had to be sent to my sister's who I was visiting in Colorado. In the confusion, the deposit got lost, but that was not the fault of the landlord. However, if I got the deposit in NJ before September, it would have been smoother. I would have no qualms about renting this house again, or taking it for a longer time on a monthly basis. I am sure the landlord would be leary in renting it to people with small children / young teenagers in terms of wear and tear. I have been to MV at least 12 times, and this house was one of the best values I've seen there.
We (2 parents and a college student) thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. We picked mid-May to avoid the crowds and luckily the weather cooperated. The house has two nice open living room areas for hanging out, so families can spread out if folks need space. There were spots to keep our bikes under the back deck and we used them every day. The Vineyard is the best for biking! Edgartown, Oak Bluffs, and South Beach are easy and fun destinations from here. We also enjoyed the birds visiting throughout the day.
The kitchen was well-stocked (dishes/pots/gadgets), the rooms clean and comfortable, and we appreciated the supply of paper goods. We used the laundry machines once and they worked well. There were a few beach chairs and lots of puzzles and board games as well as books, a stereo system and a TV. All great.
Our only issue came at midnight on our last night there. There is an automatic flushing of pipes under the kitchen floor that is noted on one of the posted lists, right under the emergency number. We read about it upon arrival but promptly forgot about it. It gave us quite a fright until we figured it out. As long as you know it will happen it's not a big deal.
We hope to make this a regular spring destination and would recommend this rental.
This is a very pleasant place to stay. Unfortunately for me the weather was not co-operative. However it is a pleasant place to just relax or a peaceful setting to get a work to-do list done. Everything seemed to work and there was WiFi and cable. I was able to walk and ride my bike when the weather permitted. I would visit here again.
My husband and I have been visiting the Island for over 7 years and this rental has to be our favorite. Loved the apple trees in the front yard. The house was very clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking. Although it was just me and my husband, the house is big enough for a small family. Great location, just minutes from everything, will consider renting again.
Maryanne, the owner, provided a nice welcome packet with loads of island info and her contact info.
The property was the perfect size for our family of 5. Lots of natural light which I loved. The location was convenient. We took morning walks to the beach and into town. The outdoor shower is great.
This is a wonderful Vineyard house that keeps getting better every year - we've been going for four years. The location is fantastic as it is right in between South Beach and Edgartown center on very nice roads. The house is terrific with three comfortable bedrooms, a great open living room/kitchen/dining area, and a separate TV area upstairs. The setting is very private with great outdoor spaces and a fantastic outdoor shower. It's a lovely place!
What to expect when you get here! The Surroundings ...who your neighbor's are!
The Court Street area in the Katama section of Edgartown is a small neighborhood of contemporary homes carefully built into the natural landscape of the island. Pines, oaks, low-bushes and grasses provide a protective barrier between well-spaced homes.
The house is one mile from the Edgartown Great Pond, a large brackish body of water providing a calm, beautiful setting for walking, clamming, canoeing or small boating to secluded beaches.
Beautiful South Beach with its crashing waves and extensive beach is only one-mile away; an easy walk, run or bike-ride away.
The house is one mile from Edgartown, making it convenient to restaurants and shops, and the Edgartown harbor and lighthouse overlooking the Nantucket Sound and Chappaquiddick.

Private school pupil who shot at children with ball bearing gun to 'let off steam' has sentencing deferred by judge so he can go on gap year holiday to Fiji
- Jack Hewitt admitted shooting at children aged between 8 and 10 last year
- Primary school pupils suffered injuries to faces, limbs, stomachs and heads
- Teenager told police he was 'letting off steam' during his exams
- In January his sentencing was delayed so he could do his Scottish Highers
- Today a Sheriff agreed to defer until February 2015 because of Fiji trip
A former private schoolboy who admitted taking potshots at children with a BB gun has had his sentencing delayed for seven months because he is going to Fiji on holiday.
Jack Hewitt, 17, fired at primary school pupils in Edinburgh as they played last May and told police he 'was letting off steam' during exams.
Several of the children, aged between eight and ten, were shot with pellets and one girl was struck on the forehead and another was hit just below the eye.
Others had red marks and bruising on their arms, legs, stomach and heads.
Off on his hols: Teenage gunman Jack Hewitt arrives at court with his father Grant for his sentencing today, which was deferred for seven months so he can go on a gap year break to Fiji
Admission: The 17-year-old said he fired at primary school pupils to 'let off steam' during his exams
But the former pupil at £10,000 a year George Watson's College in Edinburgh, who pleaded guilty to the shooting, had his sentencing adjourned in January so he could complete his Scottish Higher exams.
And today at Edinburgh Sheriff Court, Sheriff Isobel McColl delayed it again, for seven months, and said it will now take place in February 2015.
She wanted to defer it for six months because she felt sentencing would be 'premature' now, and extended it to seven months after learning he was off on his gap year break to the south Pacific.
The teenager is now free to fly to Fiji in September and won't return until the new year.
The Scottish Conservatives have today criticised the decision, saying it sent out the 'wrong message' to the public.
The party's justice spokeswoman, Margaret Mitchell MSP, said: 'This latest deferral sends out completely the wrong message.
'The public will be mystified and alarmed that there has still not been an official sentence handed down for the crime committed.
'The parents of children who suffered as a result of this incident will also rightly be angered by a further delay.
'Rather than allowing a gap year holiday in Fiji, the Criminal Justice System should be dealing with this case, as opposed to bending over backwards to accommodate the perpetrator.'
Victim: This ten-year-old, who cannot be named, was shot in the arm, right. His friends were also shot in the head and body
Prestigious: Hewitt was a student at the £10,000-a-year George Watson's College in Edinburgh, and first had his sentencing delays so he could take his Scottish Highers
Anger: Critics have said the 'public will be mystified and alarmed' that the boy, right, remains unsentenced
Hewitt, who has left Watson's, is taking a gap year, part of which involves travelling to the South Pacific.
The prolific social media user recently revealed he had been on holiday in Lanzarote, and was at T in The Park at the weekend.
In December last year Hewitt pled guilty to 'culpably and recklessly discharging a firearm'.
He shot at and hit a group of young children who were playing in the grounds of Gilmerton Primary School during their lunch break.
One parent described the January decision to defer sentence as a 'joke'.
At the hearing earlier this year, the court was told that Hewitt had accepted responsibility for his actions.
Police visited Hewitt's home following the incident last year. Officers said that a tearful Hewitt had admitted opening fire from the bathroom window but was unable to explain why he had done something 'so stupid.'
Hewitt told the police at the station: 'That was me. I was just letting off some steam. I'll never do it again.'

Always use
radiusd -X when debugging!
Since v3.1.x FreeRADIUS has a hard dependency on C11 support (available in GCC >= 4.9.0).
If you see an error message like:configure: error: FreeRADIUS requires support for the C11 _Generic keyword
That means your compiler does not support C11, and you'll need to one that does.
FreeRADIUS is known to run on a large number of 32 and 64bit platforms, however building on some of them may require following special procedures here.
If your operating system has support for a package manager such as .deb or .rpm file format, we recommend that you follow the instructions in the next section instead:
tar zxvf freeradius-<version>.tar.gz ./configure make su - root make install
Don't forget to read supplied documentation first, including the configuration files. As with many free software projects, FreeRADIUS could use more documentation. Until such documentation is available, the only place that configuration items are documented is in the configuration files themselves.
If you have problems when trying to run FreeRADIUS, and you see error messages like:
rlm_sql: Could not link driver rlm_sql_mysql: file not found
Then the shared libraries on your system are misconfigured.
Postgresql note: Copy rlm_sql_postgresql.so from FreeRadius build source to /usr/lib/rlm_sql_postgresql.so
./configure --enable-developer make sudo make install
and freeradius runs and responds to radtest.
FreeRADIUS 3.0.0 requires talloc which is available from samba.org
curl -LO http://www.samba.org/ftp/talloc/talloc-2.1.0.tar.gz tar zxvf talloc-2.1.0.tar.gz cd talloc-2.1.0 ./configure --without-gettext make sudo make install cd ../ curl -LO ftp://ftp.freeradius.org/pub/freeradius/freeradius-server-3.0.0.tar.gz tar zxvf freeradius-server-3.0.0.tar.gz cd freeradius-server-3.0.0 ./configure --enable-developer make sudo make install
Please see: Solaris
RHE7 ships with GCC 4.8.5 but we require GCC >= 4.9.0 for FreeRADIUS >= v3.1.x.
Fortunately the
devtoolset-3 series of packages provides a later version of GCC.
Follow the instructions here to enable the devtoolset-3 repository https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/devtoolset-3/.
To install:
yum -y install devtoolset-3-gcc devtoolset-3-gcc-c++
and then to get to a shell with the correct environment:
scl enable devtoolset-3 bash
You can then perform the normal:
./configure --enable-developer make sudo make install
Or can set
CC=/opt/rh/devtoolset-3/root/usr/bin/gcc in your environment, which works just as well.
If you're building on older versions of RedHat then you'll need to compile GCC from source.
The FreeRADIUS source contains build rules for several different types of system packages. If your operating system has a packaging system (dpkg, rpm, tgz), it is usually easier to install the appropriate packages instead of directly installing from source. However this may not always be the recommended approach as many systems seem to lag behind with very old versions of FreeRADIUS. In that case it may be better to build packages from source.
Building Debian packages of FreeRADIUS from source is kept as simple as possible. Please refer to the Debian package page for full instructions.
The above page also includes instructions on building with Oracle support or installing Debian backports packages for older systems.
If you're using Ubuntu, you should first check whether your desired version of FreeRADIUS is available in the Ubuntu package repositories, because that will save you the trouble of building packages yourself. As of March 2016, the Ubuntu repositories contain only version 2 of the server, which is end-of-life. Please see: http://packages.ubuntu.com/freeradius.
For build instructions, please follow the instructions building Ubuntu Packages or follow the same directions as building Debian packages on the main Debian page.
Please refer to the information on the Red Hat specific page Red Hat FAQ.
On SUSE Linux it should be a simple matter of taking the latest FreeRADIUS release tarball and dropping it in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES along with the other files from the suse/ directory inside the tarball with the exception of freeradius.spec which goes in /usr/src/packages/SPECS
Then simply run:
rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/freeradius.spec
rpmbuild will tell you if you are missing any build dependencies. If so, simply install them with
yast2 -i packagename-devel then rerun
If you wish to use Oracle you will need to recompile FreeRADIUS on a machine that has Oracle development libraries installed. FreeRADIUS is known to work both with a full Oracle installation as well as with the Oracle Instant Client SDK. Once built the resulting RPM package can be deployed with just the Oracle Instant Client (No need for the SDK on production machines)
Most rpm packages available do not included oraclesql.conf due to the fact that they also don't contain the Oracle driver module (due to copyright reasons)
On SUSE Linux if you have the Oracle header files in a sane location it should be a simple matter of taking the latest FreeRADIUS release tarball and dropping it in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES along with the other files from the suse/ directory inside the tarball with the exception of freeradius.spec which goes in /usr/src/packages/SPECS
Then edit /usr/src/packages/SPECS/freeradius.spec and change:
%define _oracle_support 0
%define _oracle_support 1
Then simply run:
rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/freeradius.spec

National Poverty Fellows Program
The National Poverty Fellows Program is a federal government-university partnership that seeks to build the capacity of researchers to conduct high-quality policy-relevant research on poverty and inequality in the United States and to contribute to the effective use of research and scientific knowledge in the formation of public policy.
The Institute for Research on Poverty (IRP) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison administers the program with support provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) and the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF).
The fellows are in residence at ASPE or OPRE in Washington, DC conducting poverty-related research and analysis, contributing to planning and overseeing poverty-related research and evaluation studies, and working on their own related research projects.
In addition to their work at ASPE and OPRE, the fellows receive academic mentoring from senior IRP affiliates and researchers, participate in IRP conferences, and give talks at IRP's weekly seminar series.
2015–2016 National Poverty Fellows
Three postdoctoral scholars have been selected for the second cohort of the National Poverty Fellows Program, a joint effort between the Institute for Research on Poverty, and the federal offices of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) and Office of Planning, Evaluation & Research in the Administration for Children and Families (OPRE-ACF).
The incoming fellows are Nicole Deterding (PhD in Sociology and Social Policy, Harvard University), Megan Reid (PhD, Sociology, University of Texas at Austin), and Lincoln H. Groves (PhD, Public Administration and International Affairs, Syracuse University). The fellows' individual bios follow.
Nicole Deterding
Nicole Deterding earned her Ph.D. in Sociology and Social Policy from Harvard University. Her work examines the relationship between education and the labor market for disadvantaged students. She is particularly interested in the role of the growing for-profit sector in educating returning students, which she examined in her dissertation, entitled "Start, Start Again: The College Pathways of Economically-Vulnerable Mothers." Prior to beginning her doctoral studies, Nicole worked on large implementation and impact studies of higher education interventions as a Research Associate at The Urban Institute and earned a Master's Degree in Education Policy Studies from The George Washington University. Nicole's research has been funded by the National Science Foundation IGERT Program, The RISK Project, The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, and the Multidisciplinary Program on Inequality and Social Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. Nicole will be a fellow at OPRE-ACF beginning in September of 2015 and will be mentored by Sara Goldrick-Rab.
Megan Reid
National Poverty Fellow
Office of Research, Planning, and Evaluation
Department of Health and Human Services
Administration for Children and Families
370 L-Enfant Promenade
Washington, DC 20447
Megan Reid earned her PhD in sociology from the University of Texas at Austin in 2011 and worked as a Project Director at the National Development and Research Institutes before beginning her position as a National Poverty Fellow. Her research focuses on social inequalities, families, housing, and disaster. In her dissertation, she focused on analyzing the experiences of people displaced by Hurricane Katrina and developed the concept of temporal domination to explain how time structures social inequalities. Her most recent project focuses on understanding parenting and partnering among low-income Black couples in New York City. In a recent article she identified the "vetting and letting" process of cohabiting step family formation. Megan will be a fellow at OPRE-ACF beginning in August of 2015. She will be mentored by IRP Director Lawrence Berger.
Lincoln Groves
Lincoln Groves has an M.A. in Applied Economics from Johns Hopkins University and a Ph.D. in Public Administration from Syracuse University. He is interested in the human capital development of young adults at-risk of living in poverty, as well as the role of public policy in facilitating more favorable outcomes for these groups. In his dissertation, he investigates how three large-scale social insurance programs—AFDC/TANF, Medicaid, and Social Security's Student Benefit Program—affected the educational attainment and work experience of vulnerable young adults. Before his graduate studies in Syracuse, Lincoln worked as an economic research analyst in Washington, DC—with both the government (USDOJ, Antitrust Division) and a private sector consulting firm (MiCRA, Inc.)—and was a Peace Corps volunteer in Bulgaria. Lincoln will be a fellow at ASPE beginning in August 2015. He will be mentored by Timothy Smeeding.

Sharon Wolf received her Ph.D. in Applied Psychology from New York University, where she held an Institute for Education Sciences Predoctoral Interdisciplinary Training Fellowship, as well as an American Psychological Foundation Elizabeth Munsterberg Koppitz Child Psychology Graduate Student Fellowship. Drawing on theories and methods from developmental and community psychology, her research explores how poverty and inequality affect the pathways through which key settings for children's development—families and schools—influence children's academic success. Her work involves conducting both descriptive research to shed light on key levers of change within families and schools, as well as designing and testing interventions aimed at improving these levers to inform anti-poverty and education policies. Her dissertation focused on the effects of a conditional cash transfer program in New York City on adolescents and their families, and considered how inequality in schools moderated program impacts on this anti-poverty initiative.
Sharon is a fellow at ASPE engaged in projects related to early childhood care and education.

Joss Stone
Legend has it that velvet-voiced teenage British soul sensation Joss Stone was all set to launch a career as a Britney Spears clone when, at the last moment, she heard some vintage Miami soul from Betty Wright, became transfixed, hurried on down to Scarface City and instead launched this career -- as an old soul singing, well, old soul. I don't really buy that -- every interview I've ever read with her or seen on TV finds her talking about all the Aretha her mum blasted at her from birth on. At any rate, Stone's positively choogling remake of the White Stripes "Fell in Love with a Boy," which she recorded with the Roots, is currently in heavy rotation on VH1, alongside Norah Jones's "Sunrise," OutKast's "Roses" and the latest offerings from SwitchBackHoobaNickelStankFoot. Three out of four ain't bad.

Posted on 05/26/2013 6:35:49 AM PDT by Sub-Driver
NYT Feminists Still Giddy About Hillary's Chances In 2016: Any Gender Problems Have Been 'Wiped Out' By Tim Graham Created 05/26/2013 - 7:52am
Politicos Katie Glueck reported two feminists whove written opinion columns for The New York Times are still giddy about Hillary Clintons chances in 2016. Benghazi, schmengazi.
Appearing Thursday at the liberal Center for American Progress, former Times columnist Anna Quindlen asserted any gender-related problems Hillary encountered in previous races have been wiped out, and her gender would only be an asset if she runs in 2016.
I think the gender issue as a problem or a deal breaker Can we have a woman as president of the United States? it was wiped out, Quindlen said. It was wiped out when she ran and nearly won in 2008, and it since has been even further wiped out by her performance as secretary of state.
Feminists dont want to hear anything about four Americans dying because the female Secretary of State somehow failed in her duties. That ought to at least slow down liberals from saying Hillarys allegedly stellar performance has wiped out any concerns about her competence, irrespective of gender.
I think there will be many issues around her candidacy if she runs in 2016, Quindlen continued. I do not think her gender will be one except that there will be a whole bunch of women quietly saying, Yay, every day [until] the election.
Current Times columnist and former editorial page editor Gail Collins was eager to agree:
When she ran for the Senate, youd see these mobs of women, many of them tended to be middle-aged. I took from them a sense of excitement about the idea that you can have your life, raise a family, maybe then, once when the kids are gone, you can have some amazing thing not just another job or degree but just some spectacular adventure, Collins said. That seems to me to be the great Hillary message that just resonates with women of a certain age.
The event was tied to the 50th anniversary publication of Betty Friedans feminist manifesto The Feminine Mystique. Collins wrote a new Introduction, and Quindlen wrote an Afterword.
She could call a press conference with Satan, and the two of them eat live babies, and it would not matter to these people.
Hillary! has blood on her hands. If she is even the Dem nominee, it will be obvious that our country has been dumbed down to the point of extinction of the American Dream.
empty heads? yes
Discount her?
DONT!!! watch out for her....the idiots who voted in zer0 are still as dumb as they were in 2012....
and if the Republicans RINO out again like I expect they will, we are doomed to 4 more years of another Keynesian buttwad.
Who cares about her gender, what about her character?
Indeed—It's a great comfort knowing that we can count on objective, unbiased reporting from the media.
uniformed voters and MSM imprimatur will be all it takes for the wicked beyotch of the east to be the new zer0 and continue his Marxist march into 3rd world status for America.
I never mentioned her gender....could care less.
I would vote for Sarah Palin in a NY minute.
Just look at Hillary, then count the steps on Air Force One. She couldn't climb them now, much less in four more years.
Why did Hillary leave as Secretary of State? Did she go willingly?
This is reality, as seen through their Weltanschauung "world view".
"The fundamental cognitive orientation of an individual or society encompassing the entirety of the individual or society's knowledge and point of view, including natural philosophy; fundamental, existential, and normative postulates; or themes, values, emotions, and ethics."
In other words, their *entire* reality is seen through the lens of radical feminism vs. masculinity, a dichotomy in their minds between good and evil.
Others among the left have a Weltanschauung based entirely on race. Or "inequality". Or radical environmentalism. Or a mish-mosh of all of them.
The bottom line is that such people are "defective units", incapable of intellectual or emotional growth. Stunted, with perhaps a rare epiphany that normal people experienced in elementary school.
For example, Hillary, when her mother died, achieved such a petite epiphany, blurting out that "for the first time in her life, she had realized that there was something more important."
It must be horrible to live like such people. Defining all of reality to fit some small prejudice. It's no surprise that the concept of God is so beyond them.
GID = Gender Identity Disorder...The actual mental illness affecting the P/M crowd.
One can only hope.
The Butcherous "Babe" of Benghazi can get away with anything — except crossing her muslim masters.
Bring it on, if you want a feminist war.
People and living creatures have a sex (male or female)....words have a gender (masculine or feminine).
After pResident Zero, I think the majority of the American people are weary of liberal social experiments in the White House.
The 2008 election of Obama showed that we had reached that point. The 2012 election showed that we are well past that point.
Gender was never her problem. But the astigmatism to twisted evil people seems to have been wiped away. Goody for us, she might just make it! /sarc
I am not sure the future tense is warranted here.
"Character" has meant nothing and will mean nothing to any but a core group of American patriot conservatives.
What gender is she, anyway?
Escalators will be installed at every airport where she might go.
They voted Obama in because he's black and they'll vote Hillary! in because she a woman. Neither is good good for America
She doesn't answer the phone at 3:00am.
no chance
She made "cankles" fashionable again
What is Hillary's gender anyway.
Does she play both parts with Huma?
Time is not Hillary's friend. 2016 is quite a few wrinkles more.
Yes, but they govern. Election of "The Divine One" proves that.
where is Hillary during these current scandals? hiding of course or maybe getting a make over...those make overs don't last long...Nature takes over...
they will build her an escalator...
Good point.
My comment was not directed at any one. I just hit post reply!
I will in the future change the recipient to all!
And yes Rock I know the meaning of gender. Cars have them also and most are female!
Good point.
That ... and the fact that she is a pathological liar.
Palin/Paul vs. Hillary/McCain.
Now that would be an interesting match up...

The first weekend of May is generally the peak of the neo-tropical songbird migration. It can be both exciting and overwhelming to see so many birds and know little about them. I'd like to share a piece of advice I received many years ago. Trying to learn everything you see at once can be frustrating. Focus your efforts on just three species at a time. Learn everything you can about those three species: their call, nesting, habits, food source and male vs. female vs. juvenile. When you are comfortable with those three, choose the next three.
On all the other birds you see, make mental notes of all the particulars. Then when the bird flies away, write down everything you can. Extend your adventure when you get home by thumbing through books or bird calls to see if you can identify it. You may find that bird much easier to remember the next time. One resource that may be helpful for recognizing bird calls is the Missouri Songbirds CD from the Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) Nature Shop. Organized by habitat, it contains many of the more common calls you may hear. Another resource for identifying the calls is the Identiflier. The newest addition in the Identiflier line is the scanning wand. To hear a bird song, the user scans a bar code in the associated booklet or in your favorite bird guide using the stickers provided.
Depending on where you plan on bird watching, the Feeding Backyard Birds publication, free to Missouri residents, from MDC is a good place to start. Some that are very eye-catching in our area are the rose-breasted grosbeak, oriole, white-crowned sparrow and indigo bunting. Remember that not all birds are seed eaters. Water in your feeding area will attract additional species, or, better yet, go to the river or one of the many area springs. A couple of years ago, my group identified 63 species of birds the first weekend of May. At Twin Pines last year in just a couple of hours I noted more than 30 species. Check out the online Conservation Atlas at the website below. And don't stress if you don't know the name of every species you see. The fact that you may not know the name doesn't diminish the beauty. Just get out there and enjoy it!

Dr. Poulin has all the qualities of the perfect surgeon for my surgical needs. I wish the primary care doctor I had 13 years ago had referred me to him ,he would have done all my surgeries. I'm confident in trusting him and when I need future surgery , I will be going to him. He treated me with calm respect and knows what I am going through. The staff involved with my care before,during and after surgery were the best .
Oct 4th, 2010
I fired him after he was a "no show" at my outpatient surgery. I was taken into the surgery suite after waiting 90 minutes and was told to reschedule as he was not there. I had another surgeon do the surgery a month later. Never received a "I am sorry from this physician". I will never go back to him and was offended.

Whooping cough cases on the rise in Arizona
An outbreak of whooping cough across the country means Arizona cases are on the rise too.
Last year, over 800 cases of pertussis, commonly called whooping cough, were documented in Arizona. So far this year, we've already seen 600.
Dr. Kara Christ, a Valley disease specialist, said babies are most at risk.
"Especially those under one, or those that haven't been vaccinated," she said.

As more enterprises migrate applications to the cloud, they seek to take advantage of the frameworks, middleware, and other software tools already in their data centers, as well as the different clouds available. Today WSO2 unveiled its answer to this growing demand with the beta release of WSO2 Stratos 2.0. Newly re-architected, WSO2 Stratos 2.0 is the industry's first foundation for implementing a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that combines support for heterogeneous applications and service-oriented architecture (SOA) platform runtimes with native, secure multi-tenancy. WSO2 Stratos 2.0 also adds the capability to run on any cloud infrastructure, including VMware, Eucalyptus, Amazon and OpenStack.
WSO2 previewed the latest release of WSO2 Stratos at WSO2Con 2013, which runs February 13-14 in London. The company also announced that it has begun accepting customers for the WSO2 Stratos 2.0 beta program.
"Increasingly enterprises view the cloud as a platform for innovation. However, until now they've had to make trade-offs between using their favorite development tools and middleware or capitalizing on the multi-tenancy of a native cloud environment. With WSO2 Stratos 2.0, these organizations no longer have to compromise," said Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, WSO2 founder and CEO.
Expanding the Scope of Multi-tenancy
The Stratos 2.0 approach to multi-tenancy goes beyond other PaaS environments to support multiple levels of virtualization—from standard virtual machines, via Linux Containers to intra-JVM isolation. This choice of sharing resources while providing the correct isolation level for multiple tenants is a significant factor in enabling lower costs, greater flexibility, and easier on-ramping into a private or public cloud environment.
The new tenant-aware elastic load balancer in Stratos 2.0 is a first-of-a-kind capability that allows the environment to provide highly tunable performance to different tenants, ranging from "economy class" for low priority workloads up to "private jet" mode for workloads that require dedicated resources.
Plugging in Multi-tenant Cloud Capabilities
At the heart of Version 2.0 is a new cartridge architecture for plugging software into WSO2 Stratos to take advantage of cloud-native capabilities, such as multi-tenancy, elastic scaling, self-service provisioning, metering, billing, and resource pooling, among others. As a result, WSO2 Stratos 2.0 is able to run, not only 13 WSO2 Carbon enterprise middleware products, but also a choice of frameworks, databases, and other application services.
WSO2 Stratos 2.0 also significantly enhances PaaS deployment through an integration layer that uses the popular jclouds technology to allow it to run on any infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) including OpenStack, VMware, Eucalyptus and CloudStack. Additionally, use of the Puppet open source tool for infrastructure deployment in this release makes it easier than ever to install and configure Stratos in a private or public cloud environment. Like all WSO2 software, WSO2 Stratos 2.0 is 100% open source and will be made available under the Apache License 2.0.
WSO2 Stratos 2.0 Beta Program Now Open
Ideal candidates for the WSO2 Stratos 2.0 beta program are enterprise IT professionals who are planning or evaluating ways to deliver new applications and/or migrate existing ones to the cloud. Participants also must be committed to participating and giving feedback. For more information and to contact WSO2 about joining the beta program, please visit the product Web page: http://wso2.com/cloud/stratos.

The use of standardized and TCP/IP networked wireless technologies in line-powered and battery operated sensors and controls has led to the adoption of radios in the 2.4GHz band, including Wi-Fi, BT/BLE and 802.15.4 applied ZigBee and Thread. This is driving the need for robust wireless coexistence for multiple radios to ensure throughput performance and th...

Enterprise IT has been in the era of Hybrid Cloud for some time now. But it seems most conversations about Hybrid are focused on integrating AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google ECM into existing on-premises systems. Where is all the Private Cloud? What do technology providers need to do to make their offerings more compelling? How should enterprise IT executives and buyers define their focus, needs, and roadmap, and communicate that clearly to the providers?

Silva doesn't want Weidman, maybe Cung Le?
Ed Soares, who serves as the manger and interpreter to the champion, tells Cage Fanatic he doesn't know who is next for Silva, he just wants it to be someone who is well known by fans and can draw eyeballs, naming former Strikeforce champion Cung Le as a potential opponent.
His words:
"(Silva's next fight) is still up in the air man, we don't know who that is, you know, unfortunately Bisping lost which was a big thing but, you know, I'm not too sure. I'm not too sure who could be next, I mean there's a few names out there but I think nothing really stable. There's been a few guys who – you know we want to fight someone who has a little bit of a name, someone that has as big of a name as possible and that's on a winning record or a winning run right now. So, I mean right now it seems like most of the guys with names have had losses very recently. So, when I think about it, like the only thing that comes to mind and I don't even know if that would be a possible fight is, you know, like Cung Le is coming off of three wins or something like that where he's got a little bit of a name, but I mean it's really hard in that division because it's so evenly matched all the opponents on any given day one of those guys can beat each other, so you know, once again whoever the UFC decided we're in."

The simple logistic regression model with normal measurement error and normal regressor is shown to be identifiable without any extra information about the measurement error. The multiple logistic regression model with more than one regressor variable measured with error is not identifiable. If the covariance matrix of the measurement error is known up to a scalar factor, the model is identified. Further we discuss why in spite of the identifiability the models cannot be estimated in a reasonable way without extra information about the measurement error.

"I seldom use the word 'delightful'"
...but that's what I thought about this book. Surprisingly candid about his failures as well as his successes, Mr. Caine is a gifted and highly amusing storyteller.
At first I thought he did a lot of name-dropping, but isn't that interesting, too? Who was at at that party? What people did he rub elbows with? It's not a matter of impressing the reader, I realized. And besides, if he had something to comment on about a person, he didn't seem to hold back.
I learned some more about making movies, which fascinates me from a business standpoint.
The most enjoyable book I've heard in some time. Now I can't wait to sample his "first autobiography." I'm already a little disappointed to see it's abridged. Maybe they removed the duplicated parts?
"Wonderful story of a legend!"
Michael Caine recounting his memoirs in such a warm affectionate way. I thoroughly enjoyed this quick 10 hour listen. So enjoyable it is to hear Michael regale us with stories of old Hollywood and name drop great stories of legends and behind the scenes experiences from much loved movies. particularly charming is when he recounts a funny story and can't surpress a nostalgic chuckle. I laughed and smiled throughout and even had to hold back a tear or two.
"A wonderful autobiography"
Michael Caine created a very intimate sound stage. Reading in his chair at home, and laughing at some of his own stories.
His honesty. It could have been real easy to have had a ghost writer, and just stick to the highlight reel.
You really feel in the room with him as he tells his tale. The way he shifts in his chair from time to time, and doesn't rush through anything Shatner style.
Yes, and no. This is a really good book, and something you don't want to put down but also don't want to finish.
"Great Stories!"
Michael Caine shares some fantastic stories here, such an interesting life in and outside of Hollywood. Very well written and performed, quite charming (which isn't surprising at all).
"Fascinating insight"
Loved the entire book and having Caine read it was icing on the cake. Hilarious stories and a personal history I knew nothing about. Very entertaining!
"Typically witty, and enjoyable."
Michael Caine should write more and or narrate more. His stories are fun, and he knows how to keep you wanting more. The gem is to hear him read aloud his books and let this great actor take you off with him to his world and invite you in.
"Personal stories, personally told"
I enjoyed all these stories, and the generously shared thoughts behind them. It made me want to watch several of those movies (mostly it would be "again," but some for the first time). As an American who's an anglophile, I enjoyed the impressions of California and Florida, and I wish there had been even more about the house on the Thames, and English details.
"The Elephant to Hollywood"
Listening to Mr. Caine tell his story was so enjoyable.
Mr. Caine of course :-)
I loved when Mr. Caine would share an expereince then giggle at the end as he remembered it. Wonderful!
No, I listen during my morning and evening commute.
"I now know Michael Caine the person"
maybe it should be all 5 stars but I have nothing to compare it to
"Wonderful! I'm so sorry it ended! "
Michael Caine speaks so honestly and with humor and compassion. By the end I felt like he was an old friend that I treasured.

"I was just sick to my stomach," she tells PEOPLE exclusively.
"I can't even begin to describe the feeling you get when someone says you have cancer," she says. "Then to get it again after you thought you fought it and thought it was behind you …."
"I was thinking, 'This is definitely it. I'm going to die.' "
Marchese, 37, was first diagnosed with cancer in her right breast in 2009. She says she chose to have a bilateral mastectomy even though her left breast was cancer-free – just to be safe.
On the last season of RHONJ, Marchese dealt with a cancer scare when blood tests for a cancer screening were initially inconclusive. In the end, she learned that she was, indeed, still cancer-free for the past five years.
All that has changed. The new tumor, she says, "is right in the middle of where the other two were. It's the same type of tumor.
After her 2009 Stage I diagnosis, Marchese thought chemotherapy and a double mastectomy would rid her of cancer forever, she says. "I thought, you remove it, you go through the harsh treatments, and you move on. So I was shocked. Everyone is shocked."
She says her doctor doesn't yet know if this is a brand-new tumor or if there wasn't enough breast tissue taken out with the mastectomy. "You're never going to remove 100 percent of the breast tissue with a mastectomy. So you just pray to God that you remove enough.
"You have a double mastectomy and chemotherapy to stack all the odds in your favor so that there is no recurrence. The percentage of it recurring is very small, less than 5 percent. I just fell into that category. I wasn't so lucky."
One thing she stresses: "This is not common. I want people to understand that. My case is not the average case.
"I don't ever want to deter women from getting a mastectomy. I don't want women to say, 'Well, she had a mastectomy. What's the point of getting a mastectomy if it doesn't work?
"That's a very dangerous message to get out. I hear it all the time. 'You got a double mastectomy. How did it not work?' My case is not the norm. Do what's right for you."
A Jolting DiscoveryMarchese discovered the lump on April 3 while watching a movie with her husband, Jim Marchese.
"I have no idea what made me do this, but I reached my arms over my head and touched my right breast and felt it. It was hard. It was pea-sized. And I just knew …. My heart just sank.
"I said, 'Jim, I just found another lump.' It was right by the site of the other tumors. I just knew in my heart that this was serious, and Jim did too.
When she saw her oncologist the following Monday, "He said, 'The odds of it being anything are so small. But I do want you to have it removed. I want a biopsy and a PET-CT scan right away.' This scared me because he did not say, 'I'm sure it's nothing.' "
When she had a PET-CT scan on April 13, she says, "The only thing that lit up was the tumor itself. That meant there is activity there."
She underwent a biopsy on April 20 to determine if the lump was cancerous. "On April 23, my surgeon called. I was making dinner for my kids. He said, 'Well, I wish I had good news for you, but it's not. It's cancer.' "
Aggressive TreatmentMarchese says her oncologist "is very hopeful" and does not believe the cancer has spread.
But he is taking no chances.
"I'm going to have an additional surgery to remove the remaining breast tissue with clean margins," she says. "I'm going to be on radiation five days a week for five weeks. The doctor is putting me on five different drugs, including Herceptin."
This week she will be getting an MRI of her brain and chest to make sure it hasn't spread, she says.
Hope and PrayerPraying has helped Marchese cope with her recurrence, she says.
"By God's good grace, I found the lump on Good Friday," she says. "I have spent a lot of time in prayer. It's the only thing that is giving me a sense of hope that no matter what, everything is going to be okay. It takes away my fear and doubt.
"Then you kind of just take a deep breath and you just talk. Jim and I talked this through every which way, probably 24/7. And we pray. We pray together. We pray by ourselves."
She says she prays anytime she gets upset or thinks negative thoughts. "Once I pray, it's such a comfort. It's like a blanket – like God is wrapping his arms around you and is saying, 'It's going to be okay. Don't get caught up in these worldly fears. I have you.' "
One of the biggest lessons she's learned? "How to stay calm and be in the moment and just enjoy the present. I go 150 miles per hour all the time. I'm learning to slow myself down."
She is continuing with her regular routines. "I have children, and my children can't see worry on my face. They can't see me skip a beat. They still need me."
She says, "Jim and I will go to the gym, then we'll go have radiation, come home and have lunch and have a good day. That will be our new normal for a while – we will adapt, improvise and overcome.
"You just have to go on with everyday life. I always say, it's not a matter of if something is going to happen, it's a matter of how we handle it. I feel at peace. I feel determined. I feel like everything is going to be okay."

National Apprenticeship Week: From an IT apprentice 15 years on
This is a guest blog from Matthew Bell, education programme manager at Autodesk Education Europe.
This week celebrates the seventh year of National Apprenticeship Week, helping to raise the profile of apprenticeships in the UK at a time when many young people are potentially struggling to get onto the career ladder.
Your exclusive guide to CIO trends
A collection of our most popular articles for IT leaders from the first few months of 2016, including: - Corporate giants recruit digitally-minded outsiders to drive transformation - Analytics platforms to drive strategy in 2016 - Next generation: The changing role of IT leaders.

It's of particular significance to me too. While I currently head up the European Secondary Education team at Autodesk in Europe, I started out my career nearly 15 years ago in 1996, as an engineering apprentice at UCB Films. By one of those strange quirks of fate, I actually broke my leg at an early stage of the apprenticeship scheme, and the only room they could find that would accommodate my wheelchair was the drawing office.
As I couldn't reach the manual drawing boards that were being used at the time, I was put in front of the only computer in the building running AutoCAD – which sowed the seeds for my current role.
For any young person considering what to do with their lives, they should seriously look at apprenticeship schemes. While this shouldn't be the main motivator, I was earning substantially more in my late teens than many of my friends, at the same time as I was learning – in essence I was getting paid to be at college.
Another key consideration is that you are almost guaranteed a job at the end of your scheme, especially in the field of Engineering and Manufacturing where we see significant skills gaps in the UK. Anyone looking at doing a degree will have been told of the difficulties of securing a job once you've finished your education.
The relationship between degrees and apprenticeships is an interesting question, and has resulted in some stigma being attached to becoming an apprentice. It is still often seen as a choice for those that don't have what it takes to do a degree, yet in reality you can continue your apprentice training up to degree level; it never did me any harm. Vocational Education across the globe is raising its profile, especially through organisations such as WorldSkills which allow young people to compete on an Olympic stage in areas such as Engineering, Construction, Creative Arts and many more, and the continued support for Apprenticeships in the UK shows that this will only increase.
The main advice I'd give is that you have to be open to the opportunities that apprenticeship schemes present. They provide much needed industry experience, allow you to earn while you learn, and provide qualifications for you to work in STEM-based industries, which are crying out for qualified people at the moment.
We're still in a mindset where it is "A-level/Degree/Job", whereas the apprentice route is just as valid, and still more needs to be done by the government and education institutions for pupils to see these schemes as a worthy choice for their future career.
