Kant Do It
There are many paths to sexual repression, and not all of them are paved by religious puritans. The rejection of worldly pleasure is an idea just as likely to be held by a teenage philosophy student as a gray-locked rabbi. But as Karin Albous suggests in her film, La Petite Jerusalem, that doesnt mean the two worlds are compatible. Set in the low-income suburb of Sarcelles, France (the area known as Little Jerusalem), Albou tells the psychologically complex tale of a Tunisian-Jewish family and its struggles with piety. Despite living under the same roof and with the same mother, sisters Mathilde and Laura worship completely different gods. Mathildes an Orthodox Jew, married with children. Lauras an unwed, disinterested philosophy student whod rather cozy up with an old Immanuel Kant book than the Torah -- or a man. Of course, being young and beautiful, Lauras self-repression only strengthens her urges. And it doesnt help any when she finds out Mathildes husband has been cheating. So does Laura have to choose between the world of ideas and the pleasures of the flesh, or can she have them both? La Petite Jerusalem is shown Friday through Sunday at Cinema Paradiso (503 NE Sixth St., Fort Lauderdale). Call 954-525-FILM, or visit www.fliff.com.

Rebecca Belmore
Rebecca Belmore, visual artist (born 22 March 1960 in Upsala, Ontario).
Rebecca Belmore, visual artist (born 22 March 1960 in Upsala, Ontario). In 2004, Belmore was made a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts and received the prestigious VIVA Award. She was Canada's official representative at the 2005 Venice Biennale; that year she was also awarded an honorary doctorate from the Ontario College of Art and Design (now the Ontario College of Art and Design University). Winner of the 2013 Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts, Rebecca Belmore is one of Canada's most prominent contemporary artists.
Early Life and Education
Rebecca Belmore was raised in a large Anishinabe family in Upsala, Ontario. She left her small hometown to attend high school in neighbouring Thunder Bay. During the summer, Belmore migrated northwest to spend time with her maternal grandmother — who maintained a traditional lifestyle of trapping and fishing and spoke only her native Ojibwa — in the Anishinabe district of Sioux Lookout.
Ostracized as an Aboriginal woman in a largely white high school, Belmore dropped out in her mid-teens to work a number of odd jobs before deciding to complete her secondary education. Upon returning for her final year, she befriended the high school art teacher who encouraged her to submit a drawing to a local competition where she won first prize. Buoyed by the positive response, the following year Belmore enrolled at the Ontario College of Art (now the Ontario College of Art and Design University) to pursue a degree in Experimental Arts; she remained in the program from 1984 to 1987.
Early Career
While at OCA, Belmore began to develop her first performance-based alter ego, a character she called "High-Tech Teepee Trauma Mama."Unlike her affable real-life demeanour,Trauma Mama was Belmore as outrageous party-girl, ribald and tactless, deliberately rattling her audiences in a mocking display of Aboriginal stereotypes.
Trauma Mamatoured various venues around Canada; in each location the show was altered to address specific socio-political issues. In Twelve Angry Crinolines, the most widely acclaimed of these performances, which the artist staged to commemorate (and satirize) the Duke and Duchess of York's visit to the Thunder Bay in 1987, Belmore designed and modelled a ball gown in the style of a Victorian crinoline dress, a pastiche of Aboriginal stereotypes that highlighted the absurdity of Canada's continuing relationship to the Crown. Rising to the Occasion (as the costume came be called) was later exhibited as a stand-alone piece in Belmore's 2008 mid-career retrospective at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
In the following year, Belmore was launched into the national arts consciousness with her performance, Artifact 671B,where she sat immobile in frigid temperatures outside of the Thunder Bay Art Gallery. The piece was created as a response to an exhibition organized by the Glenbow Museum and sponsored by Shell Canada in conjunction with the 1988 Olympic Winter Games, in which more than 500 historical Aboriginal artifacts were put on display. The performance drew attention to the hypocrisy of a supposedly celebratory show wherein a 50-year dispute with the Canadian government over Aboriginal land exploitation by Shell Canada was discreetly overlooked.
In 2000, Belmore joined the Pari Nadimi Gallery in Toronto, her first commercial gallery. With Nadimi, Belmore produced some of her best-known works, such as Wild (2001), The Great Water (2002), Vigil (2002), White Thread (2003), and Fountain (2005). In 2001 she relocated to Vancouver, where she lived for over a decade.
In 2002, Belmore had her sixth solo exhibition, The Named and the Unnamed, at the University of British Columbia's Belkin Art Gallery. Due to the show's success, the following year it toured to Toronto's Art Gallery of Ontario, and in 2004, to the Kamloops Art Gallery, British Columbia, and the Confederation Art Centre, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and in 2006 to the McMaster Museum of Art, McMaster University, Hamilton. The exhibit featured a number of mixed-media pieces. The best known, Vigil (2002), consisted of a single-channel video installation based on a performance of the same year on a street corner in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. In it, Belmore is shown scouring the raw pavement on her hands and knees, her bare arms covered with the names of missing Aboriginal women, which she periodically calls out as she scrubs. The piece was created as a commemoration to the hundreds of women who had gone missing in that area over the course of 25 years.
In 2005, Belmore was chosen as the first Aboriginal woman to represent Canada at the Venice Biennale. The piece she produced for the show — a two-and-a-half-minute video loop back-projected on a curtain of flowing water in the darkened room of the Canada pavilion — took her over a year and half to complete. The video depicts the artist frantically filling buckets of water from the Strait of Georgia and throwing its contents, which, as it splashes, transforms into blood, at the screen.
Legal Dispute
In 2006, Belmore tried to sever ties with the Pari Nadimi Gallery, requesting compensation for works sold and the return of the remainder of her collection. In turn, Nadimi claimed breach of contract and launched a series of legal proceedings against Belmore, suing her for $750,000. Three years later, Belmore staged her performance, Worth, in which she sat cross-legged outside of the Vancouver Art Gallery holding a sign reading "I Am Worth More Than One Million Dollars To My People"; the piece ended her public withdrawl from art-making. Belmore later established a legal fund to help pay for the litigation.
In 2008, Belmore was given a mid-career retrospective, Rebecca Belmore: Rising to the Occasion, the most expansive showcase of her work to date at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
Recent Projects
In 2013, Belmore received her second residency at La Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario, which is located in downtown Sudbury. During her stay, she produced the video, Private Perimeter, which opened at the gallery in May 2013.
Later that year, Belmore was granted the Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts. Upon receiving the award, she was asked produce a work, which became Treaty Number Three. Filmed by videographer Danielle Sturk, the video documents Belmore pasting a dress made from paper to a young Aboriginal woman with words from a treaty negotiation between the Canadian government and the Mawe-do-pe-nais in 1873. Belmore is currently working on a major commission for the Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg. For this piece, she plans on creating a massive (30 feet high and 20 feet wide blanket out of more than 10,000 clay beads and will be added to by the public. It will be part of the inaugural exhibition of the Canadian Museum of Human Rights when it opens to the public in September 2014.

Why do we read mysteries?
Alice Conroy — lone character in Keith Huff's "The Detective's Wife," which opened over the weekend at the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre, under Jim Tasse's direction — suggests that mysteries' often formulaic solutions help distract us from those larger existential quandaries we can't even face, let alone solve. »Read Full Article

Hearts goalie McCarthy rushed to hospital in private car, no ambulance at the stadium
Hearts goalkeeper Philemon McCarthy has been rushed to hospital in a private car after he suffered an injury during Sunday's city derby against Liberty Professionals.
McCarthy was replaced after the break and immediately whisked into a private car to a nearby hospital facility as there was no ambulance in sight.
The GFA's regulation indicates that a match must not start until there is an ambulance stationed at the match venue yet the match went ahead without it.
The 24-year-old had been limping throughout the first half and failed to clear on attempt which profited the speedy Michael Appiah to slot home the opening goal.
Youngster Kingsley Kissi too his place but has been far from convincing after conceding two goals at the Alhaji Sly Tetteh stadium.
Several players have died at various stadia across the country with Dansoman witnessing the death of Kessben player Bartholomew.

It's NOT FAIR, Right?
One thing is for sure, no one told you while you were forking over hundreds of thousands of dollars and all of your adult years in school and training, that all of your hard work would lead you to where you are now, right???
Adding insult to injury, many of you are paying "marketing" agencies, companies, social media "wizards" to deliver some results and they are falling woefully short with their outdated, disconnected industry jargon and tactics.
All of these "marketing consultants" tell YOU how you need to market and how to position yourself with colors and websites, but if you look around, everyone in your industry, has basically the same website…
A solo practitioner in the sea of sameness is basically invisible, right?
How many times have you been promised a 7 figure practice if you just used this new ppc, blogging or seo technique or had a new $5000+ website?
You are smart enough to know, that building on a broken foundation will only lead to failure, right? More ppc, blogging, industry website templates and seo will not create the leverage and scale necessary to create a Life Style practice for a solo practitioner or small practice.
Heck, LEVERAGE is what keeps your practice alive and breathing when you dare to take some much needed rest, and relaxation. It's the mechanism that keeps the cash machine "a churnin" and your practice growing long after you have called it a day and stopped working.
Here is my personal invitation to create a LifeStyle Practice of your choosing… a new opportunity for the new movement of solo service professionals to create new wealth, in this new economy and serve more people in the highest possible way AND make loads of money… YAY!!
In the words of R. Buckminster Fuller…
This is not about improving your ppc ads, more seo techniques, blogging or social media plans… this is not about making you wrong for your previous marketing strategies. It's about creating a NEW MODEL that is designed for the lifestyle YOU CHOOSE.
The YAY School of Business is the place and space for the possibility and reality collide for creating + generating multiple, scalable, leverageable, outsourceable money magnet assets that attract your dream clients and patients, while positioning you as a self-less problem solver, and MAKES you INDUSTRY LEADER…. Cause remember, "If you ain't the lead dog, the view never changes" Lewis Grizzard
Real talk… Have you ever….
- Been "harassed" by online marketing "experts" that seem shady and their slick ideas don't necessarily align with your own ethical compass as well as the professional rules of conduct.
- Struggled with figuring out, what your "thing" is… you know, that "thing" that makes you unique and different from everyone else in your industry?
- Judged all of those "shameless" self-promoters as "bad for the industry", but secretly wondered how they "did" it… knowing that you are just as good (and probably better) if only people knew who you were and what you could do?
- Spent more time "working" than living… i.e. working 10+ hour days, (that's not including any travel and commute) just to keep your practice going?
- Held your breath, crossed your fingers and PRAYED that all of your scheduled clients and consultations actually showed up, so you could cover practice expenses, let alone, have a little something left for you?
- Taken on a "part time job" that is basically supplementing the income you are NOT making in your practice, to ensure you have other income…
- Been mentally tortured over the fact that you KNOW your Practice should and could generate more revenue, and simply isn't?
- Cringed at the thought of having to "market" your practice???
- Avoided specific client's calls, because they were the bane of your existence, but you took them on anyway because they paid???
- Wondered silently to yourself, "how did I end up here and how in the hell can I get out?"
- Questioned your "marketing consultant's" tactics and they made you feel like they were doing you a favor???
- Asked yourself if this was "high school" all over again, where the "cool kids" and big names get all the clients, prestige and recognition while everyone else fights for mere scraps?
- Been so frustrated with your practice that the frustration was spreading like a nasty virus throughout your life?
I could go on and on, but I know that YOU GET IT!
This is a NEW Opportunity in the New Economy for You to Create New Wealth as a Solo Practitioner….
Working with me means FINALLY discovering how to structure your practice as a business for optimal growth, revenue generation and YOUR CHOSEN LIFESTYLE…. Your practice is built around you, not the other way around.
The Connection Economy has changed the game for Solo Practitioners… Its NEVER BEEN EASIER for Solo Practitioners to Have Greater Impact and Wealth, THAN NOW!!!
It is possible to build a recession proof business and keep the cash streams flowing even in the darkest of times… YAY!
The YAY School of Business is NOT for the collectors' of information, the non-action taking dreamers, conventional thinkers and followers of herd marketing… If you want "traditional advertising and marketing" then click away now…
At The YAY School of Business, discover:
- How to Be True to Yourself and Be the Lighthouse in the Sea of Sameness of your industry….
- The online "marketing essentials" to thrive in the new connection economy… (oh and it has nothing to do with better interruption marketing tactics that send your prospects running to your competitors…)
- How to create a website (on the cheap) that turns browsers into actual buyers… AROUND THE CLOCK- 24/7, 365 days a year…
- How to Create Multiple Streams of Leverageable, Scalable, Outsourceable Win/Win income that takes you from a self-promoting stereotype to the answer to a prayer of BUYERS…
- How to Read the Minds of Your Prospects and provide solutions that they will be raving about AND eager to share with their friends and family members.
- The joy of working less and making more money WHILE serving your prospects…
- Getting paid to grow your list of prospective clients and patients…
- Long-term strategies for financial security that rests in YOUR HANDS, as it should.
- The missing ingredients to the Profitable Solo LifeStyle Practice— i.e. prospect engagement, relationships and connection, bankable buyers, long term leverage and scale, organic branding that has nothing to do with a cheese ball catchphrase and recurring revenue…
The YAY School of Business, is for the solo practitioner (or small practice) who offers life changing services, that knows something greater is possible, is willing to take action, be true to themselves and simply needs a paradigm shift + REAL TOOLS, to create a HIGHLY Profitable Life Style Practice that serves their clients and themselves.
If You Aren't Ready, Willing and Desire Financial and Personal Freedom While Serving your Clients and Patients at a Higher Level, then The YAY School of Business is NOT FOR YOU…!!!
(or if you don't like to have fun, smile, serve your peeps or make money)
Sending RADICAL YAYs Your Way,

Review: 'The Good Wife' - 'Great Firewall': Rock the vote
What did everybody think of the pivotal episode?
By Alan Sepinwall @Sepinwall | Tuesday, Mar 1, 2011 11:00 PM
This morning, I posted a review of tonight's pivotal "The Good Wife" and how it exemplifies many of the show's strongest qualities (and was an episode that largely left some of my less favorite stories, like Alicia/Will, on the sideline). Now it's your turn; what did everybody else think of an episode with so many big developments at the firm and on the campaign trail?

Adam B.A show that started off as The Alicia Show (with Kinky Kalinda) ends this run with two solid scenes featuring neither of them. Yes, this was great -- the threatened double-cross, the guest appearance by one of my favorite alterkochers, the interesting issues raised by the China case, Alan Cumming Reacts To Stuff ... yes, it's more soap than Sopranos, but I do like this show so much.
And Rita Wilson's just another great addition to the tertiary cast.March 2, 2011 at 12:07AM ESTReply to Comment
(guest)Was this the finale? I can't find any info on the next episode or if there'll even be one.March 2, 2011 at 12:22AM ESTReply to Comment
evolution1085They have a 23 episode order for this season. This is probably the last new episode until late march/early April, since they'll want to show as many new eps in a row leading up to the finale... noobMarch 2, 2011 at 12:36AM EST
kteemacNext new episode is March 22.March 2, 2011 at 1:28AM EST
jenfullmoonHmm, I dunno, I've been better wowed by the show... Does feel like a "finale"-ish episode though.March 2, 2011 at 2:00AM ESTReply to Comment
KmarkoPretty good show. The initial hook to this series felt sort of tired to me, so I really only picked it up this year--lot of interesting stuff going on. Saw the fake double-cross coming a mile away, but that's no big deal.
One small question: is there really that much elaborate scheming for a campaign for state's attorney? It's good stuff, just feels a little excessive for the position.March 2, 2011 at 9:31AM ESTReply to Comment
rachelOMG YES! I am distracted by the over blown campaign for a pretty minor position. Not enough to ruin my enjoyment of the total, but enough to roll my eyes every episode. I guess he can't run for senate because they wouldn't have the tie in to individual cases, but...yes! I agree the campaigning is overblown for states attorney.March 2, 2011 at 9:55AM EST
Adam B.Having been involved in a big city DA's race, yes these things can be pretty intense -- but they're not staffed as heavily (or as well-dressed) and don't have the resources (focus group dial-testing debates?) that this race does.March 2, 2011 at 10:31AM EST
webdivaIn CHICAGO??! You're kidding, right? We make *every* political race here into a giant, overblown spectator sport -- and the state's attorney's race is one of the top ones countywide. So yeah: it's big deal, with plenty of scheming, spinning and positioning to go 'round. Fun to watch, deadly to be in.March 2, 2011 at 12:39PM EST
KmarkoThat's interesting...Chicago does have the rep of being a cut-throat political town, but it felt like some creative embellishment there. Guess not. Yikes!March 2, 2011 at 12:53PM EST
klg19Delicious, delightful, delovely. A beautifully woven, complex episode. And Alan Cumming makes Eli Gold into serious competition for my deep-seated Kalinda love.
It'll be a long wait until March 22!March 2, 2011 at 10:11AM ESTReply to Comment
webdivaAlan Cumming is channeling a hybrid of Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod (he's the nicer one), and it's working. And The Little Dance of Glee was perfect. It's all very familiar to those of us from Chicago. This is exactly what I meant when I wrote ages ago that sometimes The Good Wife has more of a Chicago feel even when it doesn't always have a Chicago look. the politics are spot on. It's often a subtle thing, this feel, but it was there in last night's episode for sure.March 2, 2011 at 12:44PM EST
julesThis episode of TGW totally rocked my world. Although I was more drawn in by some storylines than others, I thought the performances were top notch, and utterly convincing.
The episode, with all of its double-crossing, back-stabbing and conniving players seemed awfully Shakespearean...Seeing the four lawyers huddled in the cold around the warmth of the spaghetti-steam, I kept thinking of The Witches of the Scottish Play. (Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble...)
Some highlights/favorite scenes:
I was pleased at how much I was totally thrown by Julius' fake left; I usually see that kind of thing coming a mile away, and probably on a re-watch, I will. But last night, I was totally taken for the proverbial ride. Well played, Michael Boatman! This is to me a testament of the talent of the cast, and to the smart pacing of the show.
Zach Grenier as David Lee. "What fresh hell is this?"
David Lee is just genius. (Yay, Deadwood alums!)
Alicia and Kalinda's scene in the first part of the episode. Marguliues and Panjabi have great chemistry and the humor between the two characters seemed genuine. It moved the whole "Who is Kalinda" storyline ahead just a nudge, which was fine after all the shenanigans with Blake. Which are hopefully now finished.
Cary and Kalinda -- okay, this scene was awesome until the kiss, then I screeched like a needle on a record. Whaaat? And then I remembered that I'm watching a network drama, and Kalinda has chemistry with everything, and I will be upset only if she and Cary end up in a relationship that is other than best buddies. She needs someone in her life who is dependable, trustworthy, and yet not trying to sleep with her. Cary and Kalinda (Czuchry and Panjabi) have great chemistry, and I hope it's confined to the Best Friends Forever category.
Alan Cumming/Eli Gold does a mini-jig of delight! A brilliant example of Alan Cumming Reacts to Stuff!
Less effective:
I felt that everything about the case got buried in the more interesting office politics. And it even featured Miles from Lost! But still...I was so focused on the tensions between the partners that I couldn't follow it. I'll have to pay more attention to the whole Faux-Google/Chinese dissidents case later.
Also: I really dislike the character Becca. Or maybe I dislike the actress? I don't know, but every time she shows up, I get aggravated. At least she played her conniving games for Peter's team this time...maybe the actress is just really good, and that's what I can't stand her. Clearly, she's not meant to be likable. So, um, well done Dreama Walker!
Okay, final thought: Will and Diane are The Perfect Couple. Christine Baranski has been an absolute treat! She and Josh Charles delight me to no end.
Truly last thought: does this mean no more Titus Welliver? Sob. I need my Deadwoodians as much as the Wire folks.March 2, 2011 at 10:44AM ESTReply to Comment
webdivaFunny you should mention Shakespeare: Alan Cumming is an alumnus of both the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal National Theatre. I'd been thinking he'd borrowed a bit from his role as Saturninus in the film version of Titus (from the play Titus Andronicus) in bringing Eli Gold to life -- there is a certain Shakespearean ruthlessness to Eli Gold that is more focused and calm than that which would be inspired by either Rahm Emanuel or David Axelrod.March 2, 2011 at 4:30PM EST
JK (guest)I was so excited to see this after reading your review--and I loved it. I have a lot of Kalinda-related anxiety, but was it satisfying to see Bond PWNED! And while I don't feel very invested in Peter, I love Alan Cummings and about died laughing at his sneaky glee!!March 2, 2011 at 3:30PM ESTReply to Comment
davidlsimsI wrote about this in my review at the AV Club, that I was happy that the show actually addressed the Alicia/Will relationship by revealing to her what she should already know, that the guy is seriously ethically compromised in her eyes and that would be a major roadblock if they ever did try to be a couple. Something that needed to be addressed and I thought the scene where it was addressed was very well done.
In general just a really fun episode to watch. The Ken Leung plot fell a little flat but the serial stuff was so perfectly executed with the right amount of humor and drama and suspense and etc. This is just the best network drama on TV right now, i think.March 2, 2011 at 4:27PM ESTReply to Comment
Jacob (guest)I don't think I've ever enjoyed Michael Boatman as much as I did in his big scene last night.March 2, 2011 at 5:30PM ESTReply to Comment
Fran (guest)Late to comment, but just wanted to add two things to what others have said. First, (don't kill me) I found myself surprised to discover Ken Leung can act. I must have (subconsciously) assumed he was more or less playing himself as Miles on "Lost". Maybe because he was so natural? I don't know. In any case, I hope he he gets lots more work.
Second, that scene with the four conspirators pictured above plotting and tallying the expected vote count, and then getting hung up on the math.... I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. Sooo true to life, or at least my life. Whether it's a statistical analysis, a shared dinner tab, a head or vote count at a meeting -- any time numbers are involved, there's always someone arguing the math. Nice to enjoy a laugh about it instead of the usual frustration dealing with same in real life.March 3, 2011 at 1:41PM ESTReply to Comment
Matt B (guest)I found it a bit disappointing that after such a large build-up, the Will/Diane/Bond storyline is concluded with a relatively short and comically-played scene. What about all the stuff about MS13, the drug lord, etc?March 4, 2011 at 11:58AM ESTReply to Comment

Unfortunately that tweak that makes Directv app work, but renders other apps that use any mapping useless. (i.e. Zillow, Weather channel app)
Not sure where to post to the developer on that, tried to tweet that to him, no response.
FWIW, I am using the 38 Beta 2, and the weather app (TWC) and Facebook apps works fine for me.

We propose and demonstrate a technique to generate low-noise broadly tunable single-side-band microwaves using cascaded semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) using no RF bias. The proposed technique uses no RF components and is based on polarization-state controlled gain-induced four-wave mixing in SOAs. Microwave generation from 40 to 875 GHz with a line-width is experimentally demonstrated.

LANDOVER, Md. -- The Washington Redskins' defensive line problems just got a lot worse, leaving Bruce Smith to question the team's offseason moves.
The Redskins lost starting defensive tackle Brandon Noble to a severe knee injury during Saturday night's 20-13 loss to the New England Patriots, leaving two big holes in the middle of the line.
Noble sprained his left knee and separated his patella tendon when a player fell on his leg in the first quarter. He will have an MRI on Sunday, but he's not coming back soon.
"He could be out half the year, maybe more," coach Steve Spurrier said.
The Redskins have struggled to put together a starting defensive line. They opted not to re-sign Daryl Gardener during free agency, and Dan Wilkinson was cut on the second day of training camp after he declined to accept a pay cut.
"We should have kept one of those two defensive tackles, either Gardener or Big Daddy," Smith said. "It's the reason we're in the situation we're in right now.
"The best decision for us is to go out and get Big Daddy or someone comparable, because right now we're just a little short. We've got to stop this run. We've got to stop this run or it's going to be a long year."
Jermaine Haley started next to Noble on Saturday, and Peppi Zellner took over when Noble went down. James Cannida was signed last week, and Denver's Lionel Dalton is being shopped for a possible trade.
"We'll certainly be looking for some help inside," Spurrier said.
The highlight of the game was second-round draft pick Bethel Johnson's 98-yard kickoff return, which came only a few minutes after the New England rookie fumbled another kickoff return three times - that's right, three times.
For those looking for a barometer of the regular season, the Patriots were ahead 13-7 when the starters sat down at halftime. New England's starting defense, except for a couple of long passes to Laveranues Coles, looked in solid form for the second straight week.
"We definitely stood our place defensively," defensive end Richard Seymour said. "We put some pressure on the quarterback - and quarterbacks don't like that."
Then again, it wasn't hard to play well against the mistake-prone Redskins offense. Dropped passes, an errant shotgun snap by backup center Wilbert Brown, and Patrick Ramsey's under-pressure intercepted pass made the first quarter look like a bad rerun of last week's embarrassing 20-0 loss at Carolina.
"I contribute that to lousy coaching, or not very smart players - probably a combination of all of us not being very smart," Spurrier said. "Coaches and players, we have to accept responsibility. We're not a well-oiled running machine by any means."
The Patriots had one noteworthy injury. Starting center Damien Woody got kicked in the leg in the first half and did not return.
Redskins backup defensive end Bernard Jackson sprained his ankle and will miss about two weeks. Tackle Chris Samuels left the game early with heat-related symptoms.
At least Washington appeared to have a clear winner in its punting duel, with Bryan Barker outbooting Brent Bartholomew. The Redskins had said they would immediately cut the punter who performed worse, with the winner staying on to compete with David Leaverton for the regular-season job.
Spurrier declined to declare a winner immediately after the game.
Maybe the loser should call the Patriots. The two New England punters battling for the job - Ken Walter and Daniel Pope - each kicked a dying line drive in the first half.
Johnson had a 42-yard kickoff return in the second quarter, but he invoked a new level of adventure with the kickoff that started the second half. He fumbled trying to catch the ball, then he dropped it when he started to run - only to have it bounce back into his hands. He lost it for good when he was hit, and the Patriots had to start at their own 4-yard line after a teammate recovered.
On the next kickoff, however, Johnson made a superb lateral move near the 35-yard line and raced for the score.
The Patriots scored on their first drive, with Antowain Smith bursting through the Redskins' troubled line for 21 yards on three carries. He walked into the end zone on a 5-yard run, leaving several defenders sprawled on the turf in his wake.
The Redskins drove on the ball well on their next possession, with Ramsey hitting Coles for a 29-yard gain. But, on the next play, Ramsey tried to throw while sandwiched between Mike Vrabel and Rosevelt Colbin and his pass was intercepted by Eugene Wilson deep in Patriots territory.
New England needed only three plays to score, with David Patten easily beating David Terrell down the right sideline for an 85-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady.
A 35-yard pass from Ramsey to Coles in the second quarter set up Washington's first score of the preseason, a 6-yard run by Trung Canidate.

Right Brain owner Russ Springsteen and his crew will visit Paw Paw on Dec. 4 to brew a Imperial Cherry Stout to be barrel-aged in St. Julian Winery barrels.
Paw Paw Brewing Co. co-owner Ben Fleckenstein said they plan to add another ingredient to each wine barrel to give four different twists on the barrel-aged imperial stouts.
The beers are planned to be released at the Michigan Brewers Guild's Winter Beer Festival on Feb. 23 at the Fifth Third Ballpark.
"We'll definitely have a fun, creative time with the barrel-aged stuff," Fleckenstein said.
Fleckenstein and co-owner Ryan Sylvester will then travel on Dec. 11 to Right Brain's new facility in Traverse City to make two more specialty beers, including a Chestnut Ale, for use at Kalamazoo Beer Week, to be held Jan. 12-18.
"We're excited to see it (new production facility) and get a new perspective," Fleckenstein said.

In October 2015, the European Court of Justice invalidated the International Safe Harbor Privacy Principles which were established in 2000. The Safe Harbor Privacy Principles allowed certified U.S. companies to receive personal data of EU residents in compliance with EU cross-border transfer rules. While many rejoiced the invalidation, numerous legal experts predicted that the invalidated Safe Harbor Privacy Principles would quickly be replaced. The legal experts were right. The EU-US Privacy Shield is a framework for transatlantic exchanges of personal data for commercial purposes between the European Union and the United States. After more than two years of negotiations, on July 12, 2016, the framework was adopted by the European Commission and went into effect the same day. View the full text of the EU-US Privacy Shield framework. The U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary, Penny Pritzker and EU Justice Commissioner Věra Jourová announced the deal together in Brussels. Jourová was quick to point out that the EU-US Privacy Shield is fundamentally different from the previous Safe Harbor arrangement because of the annual joint review, which allows the EU to address any issues as they arise. Jourová went on to say "it brings stronger data protection standards that are better enforced,…

Hello Peepz!
I am sitting here, 2 days before my birthday, and I am - as often - bored. The boredom caused me to decide to write a little hello-thingy to you…
So I came to the realisation that it's been over a month since I left the Kommunity… To be honest, yes of course I miss you all - a lot, but no I am not returning to the Kommunity, not anytime soon anyway.
Anyways I just wanted to say hi, and that I'm doing well, being all happy and stuff, yeps. And also I hope…Continue

Now creating discussion threads for MythiCon 2015 . . . this year new pages are set up as they are requested . . . if you haven't already done so, please grab your spots while they're still available.
Spending the afternoon today in Copenhagen! Flight back to Canada tomorrow morning. I'm so excited! Talk to you soon. M
OH! And I've been meaning to mention to you that I'm going to Sweden! Flying into Copenhagen then train to Vaxjo. So excited!!
Cute new profile picture!
well, yeah . . . unless you already own a shirt like that
NOPE! grab the scissors and the camera and start singing.
So, if you can confirm please . . . this is Alex (Midnight Pi), right? I will add you two to the MythiCon poster as the "Cross Borders" (Denmark/USA) team
But you still owe the kommunity a new song.
I doubt it. You will have to do something mighty mythical to recover good standing status. Sounds like it's time for another singing video upload.
MYTHICON-Denmark cancelled due to lack of concern and conflicting travel plans.
How sad is that?
I heard that Sid will be out of pocket on July 19th and traveling to N. Ireland to help somebody pack and move so that she is not able to be your co-host at the MythiCon-Denmark event. Are you still planning on a get together with some friends to celebrate the day? Doesn't have to be anything fancy you know but if 2 or 3 of you can gather for lunch and happen to mention Rhett and Link sometime that would be nice.

Fans of The X Factor will know that every year after bootcamp, the judges are asked to secretly write down who they think will win the show - with their predictions only being announced after the final.
We played a similar game in the Sugarscape office - only it turns out that we should NEVER become fortune tellers, because we were rubbish. One of the team even picked Adam Burridge - who didn't actually make it to live shows. DUH.
Anyhoo, back to the judges. It turns out that Nicole Scherzinger not only managed to be the only mentor with two acts in the final, but is also a bit of a mystic Meg - because she wrote down James Arthur's name along with Ella Henderson.
Yes picking two acts is a bit of a cheaty-pants move but we'll let it slide.
Gazza and Tulisa both tipped acts that ended up in their own categories to win - with GB predicting that Kye Sones would win the show, and Tulisa backing Lucy Spraggan.
Caroline Flack, meanwhile - went for Times Red. Oh Cazza, you're as bad as us.
What do you make of all this Scapers - did any of you make predictions before Live Shows began?

How many concurrent users can access your software system? How much data can be loaded without performance degradation? What are your system's throughput requirements? How often are these requirements tested? What if you could specify and validate that these load and performance requirements are being met at least once a day? By running load tests as part of a scheduled and automated build, you can more quickly determine how your system performs under certain load conditions and quickly adapt to changes.
A project I once worked on established a good set of automated tests that could load test the application while it ran multiple transactions. The problem was that the tests required some manual tweaking, so the development team couldn't run them without human intervention. This limited testing to times when the tester was available (usually waking hours only). In practice, testing occurred only every couple of days — not frequently enough for timely problem detection.
In this article, I explore techniques for creating automated tests using JMeter, running the tests as part of an automated build, and scheduling the tests to run automatically every day — typically when machine usage is lower. Running the tests as part of a scheduled build lets you:
- Execute load tests at any time
- Detect and resolve load and performance problems early in the development process
- Monitor the latest load- and performance-test reports from your build server
- Reduce bottlenecks and errors that can occur when you depend on a single person to configure and run the tests
Letting JMeter do the heavy lifting
Apache JMeter is an open source project you can use to simulate a heavy load on a server (see Resources for more information on JMeter). JMeter's impressive documentation set describes how to use its many features and provides a plethora of examples.
Running JMeter
After downloading and extracting the JMeter ZIP file (see
Resources for a link to download JMeter), open a command
prompt to the location where you extracted JMeter and type
cd bin to change to the bin directory. From the bin
directory, type
jmeter to open the JMeter Swing
application, shown in Figure 1:
Figure 1. The JMeter GUI
Creating a test plan
You can use the JMeter GUI to create test plans. The different types of test plans in JMeter include:
- Web test plan
- Database test plan
- FTP test plan
- LDAP test plan
- Extended LDAP test plan
- Web service test plan
- JMS point-to-point test plan
- JMS topic test plan
- Monitor test plan
- Listeners
Each of the test plans is saved in XML format in a file with a .jmx suffix. This nonbinary format makes plans easier to edit later. Although you can create test plans by following JMeter's XML schema, it's much easier to use the GUI. Later, you'll see an example of parameterizing JMeter configuration values to customize ways the tests are run.
Labor-saving load testing
Using the GUI to run tests, though, requires that a person be present to execute them. This increases the chance of process bottlenecks and knowledge silos. By running the tests through an automated build such as an Ant build, you can configure the JMeter tests to run without opening the JMeter application. What's more, the tests are run the same way every time — and without requiring overtime pay.
Driving JMeter tests with Ant
Once I've learned how to use a GUI software tool, I like to see if it can run certain utilities from the command line, so that I don't need to perform the same actions repeatedly. For example, every time I open the JMeter application, I'd like to select File > Open, open the file, and run one or more tests. I can script this set of actions and run them the same way every time. Fortunately, an Ant task has been written to do this very thing for JMeter: it executes load tests while providing a way to pass in optional parameters and properties.
In Listing 1, I use Ant's
taskdef task to define the
JMeter task. I name it
jmeter so that I can use it
elsewhere in the Ant script. To use this script you must have the ant-jmeter.jar
file (see Resources for a download link) in the Ant
Listing 1. Defining the JMeter task in Ant
<taskdef name="jmeter" classname="org.programmerplanet.ant.taskdefs.jmeter.JMeterTask"/>
The example code in Listing 2 runs a single JMeter load
test, called BreweryTestPlan.jmx. To run all of the tests in a certain directory,
simply enter
*.jmx in place of a specific filename. The
required attributes of the
jmeter task are
s), and
resultlog or
(Listing 2 doesn't show
resultlogdir, because it uses
Listing 2. Running JMeter from Ant
<jmeter jmeterhome="${jmeter.home}" resultlog="${basedir}/target/JMeterResults.xml"> <testplans dir="${basedir}/tests/load" includes="BreweryTestPlan.jmx"/> </jmeter>
The Ant code in Listing 2 creates an output file called JMeterResults.xml, which is used to create HTML reports.
Rendering reports using XSLT
By providing the JMeterResults.xml file as input to the
xslt Ant task in Listing 3, I can generate an HTML
report of all the JMeter tests I ran in Listing 2. The XSL stylesheet
(jmeter-results-detail-report_21.xsl) provided in the JMeter extras directory is
used to transform the JMeterResults file into HTML.
Listing 3. Creating JMeter HTML report using XSLT
<xslt in="${basedir}/target/JMeterResults.xml" out="${basedir}/target/JMeterResults.html" style="${jmeter.home}/extras/jmeter-results-detail-report_21.xsl"/>
JMeter also provides a less detailed XSL stylesheet file that summarizes the load tests' results.
Revealing reports in HTML
Figure 2 is an example of the HTML report that is generated using the
xslt task in Listing 3. It displays each of the load
tests run, along with test status, time, and aggregate status and time of all of
the tests.
Figure 2. Generating the JMeter HTML report
Later in the article, I'll show you how these reports can be displayed from a CruiseControl Continuous Integration (CI) server (see Resources).
Passing parameters to JMeter
Depending on the types of tests you run, you may want to pass parameters and properties to vary the way a single test or suite of tests executes. For example, Listing 4 demonstrates how to increase the JVM memory and specify the number of threads and loops:
Listing 4. Passing optional parameters and properties to JMeter
<jmeter jmeterhome="${jmeter.home}" resultlog="${basedir}/target/JMeterResults.xml"> <jvmarg value="-Xincgc"/> <jvmarg value="-Xmx128m"/> <jvmarg value="-Dproperty=value"/> <property name="request.threads" value="5"/> <property name="request.loop" value="50"/> <property name="jmeter.save.saveservice.assertion_results" value="all"/> <property name="jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format" value="xml"/> <testplans dir="${basedir}/tests/load" includes="BreweryTestPlan.jmx"/> </jmeter>
Many other built-in parameters and properties are available for modifying how JMeter tests are run (see Resources for more information).
Using parameters and properties gives you a certain level of flexibility in how to execute load tests, but it doesn't address how to run load tests in different target environments, such as testing and staging. To add environment-specific information to test plans, you need to put tokens in the .jmx files that can be filtered and modified when the load tests run in an automated build script.
Just-in-time load testing
Once you get a load test running with an automated build, schedule it to run on a periodic basis, such as nightly. You can do this using a CI or build-management server.
Scheduling CruiseControl to run load tests daily
The purpose of using a CI server is to run an automated build whenever a change is applied to a project's version-control repository. You can also configure it to run builds at specific times. Because load testing usually requires an elevated level of computing resources, running tests when these resources are not at capacity — such as late at night or early morning — can be beneficial.
In Listing 5, an automated build is scheduled to run at
11:00 PM (2300) with CruiseControl (see Resources). You
can modify the CruiseControl configuration file to run a delegating build with a
specific Ant target, such as one named
Listing 5. Run a scheduled load test with CruiseControl
... <modificationset> <svn RepositoryLocation="${svnrepo.location}"/> <timebuild username="admin" time="2300"/> </modificationset> ...
By scheduling load tests to run nightly, as in Listing 5, you won't hear excuses about workload, vacation days, or forgetting to run the tests — they just run.
Displaying reports in CruiseControl
You've already seen how to display JMeter test reports using Ant. However, by itself, the JMeter report limits the communication to one developer on a single machine. Load testing affects the entire application, so the whole team will want to see the results. The beauty is that you can easily configure your CI server to display these reports. Because the report is already generated with Ant, it's just a matter of making the JMeter HTML report accessible from the CruiseControl project dashboard. You can do this by simply adding a few lines to CruiseControl's config.xml file, as shown in Listing 6:
Listing 6. Configuring CruiseControl to display JMeter reports
<project name="brewery"> ... <log> <merge dir="merge dir="projects/${project.name}/reports/jmeter" /> </log> ... </project>
Now, everyone on the team can be (literally) on the same page. Many of the other CI and build-management servers provide similar report-integration capabilities.
I've demonstrated how to add automated load tests to your development toolbox. By running load tests with the automated build and then scheduling the tests to run periodically, you can learn about system-capacity issues long before they become a problem. This approach makes it easier to assess the impact of architecture and data changes. When coupled with other techniques described in this article series, it enables development teams to deliver higher-quality software frequently.
