Censored, I never cold retarded either the poolish or dough Others have, maybee they can help ya out Mangia Bene Jerry
Yes, the pan was pre-heated.
2) I cooked the pizza @ 545 on a lodge logic cast iron pizza pan that pre-heated in the oven. The pan was on the bottom rack. The top of the pizza got done before the crust was done enough. The crust would have been just right with about 3 more minutes, but the cheese would have burned. So, can I pre-bake the crust for a few minutes and then top the pizza, or is that a no-no?Thanks in advance.
Ok Finally got it. Followed recipe to the Tee baked at 550 for 7 minutes Perfect crust slightly browned cheese, Perfect Pie

caused bloating
Posted by Reviewer2442207 on Apr 30, 2009
i had severe bloating the entire 30 days i was on this. it did help solidify my stools, but the positive effects of it were lost on me. would not re-order.
Posted by Reviewer2777666 on Nov 15, 2007
After three Boxes i have not experenced any noticible difference.
works great if you take 10 capsules a day.
Posted by estranged on Sep 17, 2010
When I take 10 capsules a day, I feel great, my digestion improves and there is an overall sense of wellbeing. It even lowers my blood pressure. Of course I can't pay 43$ for only six days. If I take the recommended dose of 2 capsules a day, I feel nothing. May be it is still doing some benefit inside, but I feel nothing. Culturelle is the only product that fixes the loose stools problem.
contains carrageenan
Posted by Reviewer1399542 on Jan 03, 2014
I used to buy this or the Professional Formula, but it contains carrageenan...Not good for the gut. Can cause "bloat belly" and other G.I. problems. Check out the website 'Cornucopia' or do other search to learn about this ingredient and the damage it causes.
Okay for a couple of weeks, then nothing different
Posted by Reviewer3081436 on Feb 21, 2012
After I got past the initial bloating this caused the first week or so (I realize everyone is different), this seemed to help... for about two weeks. After that, I didn't see anything different with my gut. Wasn't worth the price for me. Based on all the rave reviews, I went from a Thorne probiotic to this one to see if there was a difference. Nope. I'm back to the Thorne. It always does the trick for me and my probiotic needs.
Posted by beb534 on Feb 26, 2013
i went through about 6 months of these and saw no improvement. very disappointing as the reviews here sounded so good. i suspect if you already have decent health these are good to supplment for matinence and prevention, but if you have gut issues or comprimised health these are unlikely to improve the condition.

Expensive product that is supposed to be a best seller. Did not help at all. Have had problems with regularity and this product did nothing to help.
Posted by Reviewer2754236 on Feb 02, 2009
People with digestive problems will be surprised to see this product in a hard to digest gel-capsule. I learned to crunch it with my teeth to get the contents out before swallowing. At first, I was unaware of the loading concept but followed that protocol when I read here about that. I have used 3 boxes and can't tell a remarkable difference in my digestion. I doubt I will continue this product.

Light in the Attic, A
Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
And pranced and partied all night long
And sang their same old Whatif song:
Whatif I flunk that test?
Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me?
Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?...
Here in the attic of Shel Silverstein you will find Backward Bill, Sour Face Ann, the Meehoo With an Exactlywatt, and the Polar Bear in the Frigidaire. You will talk with the Broiled Face, and find out what happens when someone steals your knees, you get caught by the Quick-Digesting Gink, a mountain snores, and they've put a brassiere on the camel.
From the creator of the beloved poetry collections Where the Sidewalk Ends and Falling Up, here is another wondrous book of poems and drawings.
Praise for A Light in the Attic

Events in Rome: Momix Bothanica
Momix is a world-famous company of dancers-illusionists directed by American choreographer Moses Pendleton. The company is famous for its extraordinary capacity to evoke a world of surrealist images, through the use of unique costumes, suggestive plays of light and shade and studied body motions.
Momix's latest masterpiece is entitled Bothanica and, as it can be gathered from the name, is inspired by a marvellous, striking nature, constantly threatend by dangerous human acts.
Bothanica is divided into two parts having the name of the four seasons: Winter Spring and Summer Fall, realized with spectacular choreographies that give amazing optical illusions. In fact, Pendleton's aim is to produce an "optical confusion" to excite the audience brain nerves and stimulate their creativity.
Momix and Pendleton are as astounding as usual, and Bothanica shows the beauty and the tresures of a world we must preserve.
Momix's Bothanica will be on scene at Teatro Olimpico in Rome, 17 Piazza Gentile da Fabriano, from 8th to 22th March, all days except the 14th and the 17th. Ticket prices from € 18 to 37.
Choose your accommodation among many apartments for rent in Rome, located in the main districts of he city, and come to watch Momix Bothanica.

For the generation of the report i am sending the Dynamic XML file content as a XML data, a static XSD file and one RPT file in order to produce the report pdf. I have achieved it successfully. But now the issue is Working with the Sub reports in the Crystal report,here the main RPT will associates with Sub report RPT's.
I can't able to pass the sub report needed XML and XSD dynamically at the time of request. because i am sending the request once to JAVA API with main rpt,main XML and main XSD,even it encounters the sub report RPT, it can't able to give the Dynamic data because it's not connect to DB at that instance, So please help me on this issue how can i generate Sub reports in crystal reports in Ruby on rails.
And also suggest me is there any other alternative mechanism is availble for reporting in ruby on rails.

Principles of Evaluation in Natural Language Processing.
Special Issue of the Journal 'Traitement Automatique des Langues' (TAL)
Deadline for submission: 15th December 2006
Redacteurs Invites:
Guest Editors:
Patrick Paroubek (LIMSI-CNRS)
Stéphane Chaudiron (MdRNT /U. Lille 3)
Lynette Hirschman (MITRE)
First Call
For this special issue of TAL, we invite papers about the fundamental
principles that underlie the use of evaluation methods in NLP. We wish
to adopt a higher point of view which goes beyond the horizon of a
single evaluation campaign and have a more global approach about the
problems raised by the deployment of evaluation in NLP. Without any
prejudice, we do not wish to offer with this special issue yet another
tribune to articles relating the participation of a system in a given
evaluation campaign, or articles comparing the pros and cons of two
metrics for assessing performance in a particular task. Our intent is
to address more fundamental issues about the use of evaluation in NLP.
Specific topics include (but are not limited to):
1) Corpora in the evaluation process, their use, the development life
cycle, the synergy around the pair corpus - evaluation campaign.
2) Evaluation as a source of creation of linguistic resources. What help
does it bring in maintaining existing resources?
3) The question of re-using 'found corpora' for evaluation, i.e. corpora
that exist, with some level of annotation that can be adapted to provide
rich 'real world' corpora with somewhat noisy or incomplete annotations.
4) To evaluate implies to have a reference against which to gauge a
performance, but how is defined the reference in NLP? How should we deal
with the problem that often the reference is not unique (e.g. in machine
5) Which formalisms for evaluation in NLP?
6) Which characteristics should evaluation have in NLP? Comparative,
quantitative, qualitative... evaluation?
7) Technology Evaluation and User/Application Oriented Evaluation, how are
these two different kinds of evaluation perceived by the NLP community?
8) Evaluation and scientific progress, e.g. large scale evaluation programs
in NLP.
9) Which role does evaluation play in the NLP scientific process?
10) Some domains of NLP are reputed easier for evaluation that others
(parsing, semantics, translation)--myth or reality?
The Journal (see
Articles are written in French or in English. Submissions in English are
only accepted for non-native speakers of French.

If there's one thing I know about many MilSpouses, it's that we do NOT like the concept of the military telling us what to do.
Which is why the idea of "home inspections" can really stick in our craws. The military? Ordering us to let them look around our houses? I don't think so. They are already a part of SO much of our lives. Must they come into our homes, too?
Military home inspections are a common tool used by commands to make sure everything with a servicemember's home life is A-OK — that the utilities are on, that the kids are well-cared for, that the house isn't being used as a meth lab and pretty much anything else. While these inspections are most often done by NCOs for their team members, it's not unheard of for home inspections to be done on the officer corps.
Those who live on-base can be required to comply with an inspection. Those who live off-base have the right to refuse, but officials can still come to their doors and ask.
The subject of home inspections is a hot one right now on several active military spouse Facebook community pages after a vocal Facebook Army girlfriend, Khouri Nicole Fritsch, was arrested Feb. 17, along with her boyfriend, on charges of child neglect and abuse. Khouri's two babies — a one-year-old and a 3-month-old — were found to be living in filthy conditions after she called police to her house during a domestic dispute. From this story (and the police report):
… 'Barely enough room to walk throughout the residence due to trash, broken furniture and other miscellaneous items being scattered about.' While the officers were investigating the domestic dispute, they observed large amounts of dog feces on the floor throughout the residence, bags full of trash as well as soiled diapers on the floor in most of the rooms and a steak knife had been left on the floor in easy access to the children. Flies, ants and roaches as well as old food and old bottles were also found throughout the house.
In the living room there was large gaps between the outside walls and the floor, letting in cold air, that were large enough for a small child to fall into. The house had a strong odor of feces, urine and trash. At the time of the investigation into the domestic dispute, neither child was clothed except for diapers.
So what is the reason the story has blown-up the pages, including "Army Wives Do it With Hooah," a page with almost 20,000 "likes?"
Home inspections. Khouri had recently complained on the "Do it With Hooah" page that her boyfriend's command wanted to do a home inspection. She complained that the command had no right to come into her home, in part, she said, because they lived off-post and weren't married.
I can guess why she didn't want a home inspection.
It's also clear why home inspections, while irritating in theory, are important.
But they are also time consuming. To do them officials have to take time out of training or their off-hours to drive around and visit homes. Doesn't sound exactly like fun, does it? So home inspections are one of those things that fall through the cracks. Some units have a standard that they be done quarterly for all members. Others only do them when suspicions arise that one might be needed.
If Khouri was complaining about the prospect, her boyfriend's command obviously knew something was up. I reached out yesterday to Khouri through several channels to get her perspective on what happened – but got no response.
Facebook, of course, is rampant with rumors about her actions and behavior both online and off (most of which are far from flattering). But one comment on the "… Do it With Hooah" thread got my attention.
"I know (her) peeps and she's not a druggy, just doesn't keep a very clean home. And yes they needed help with money and things because, well, they're not good at budgeting, AND because he's not married they don't get as much money as the rest of us who are married get to claim more so we have more income and tax returns. She doesn't get all that, so they are in need," commented Facebook user Lisa Pearson Frampton. "They do not spend wisely, I do know that for a fact. But I think she should get her kids back. They LOVE their kids so much, just she needs a chance to clean up her house and take parenting classes. … This is just very very sad, and very embarrassing. I feel soooooooo bad for those innocent babies!!"
While I think this commenter underplays how unacceptable it is for those babies to live the way were found, I think she does strike a point here. Khouri needs a chance to clean-up her house and take parenting classes.
But would either of those things ever happen if a home inspection (or, in this case, a police visit) had not taken place? Probably not.
Home inspections are one of the important tools the military — and the military community — uses to protect those who cannot protect themselves and to help spouses (or girlfriends) who need guidance. Just like the Air Force spouse who was accused of killing her 2-year-old by ignoring her in her crib for days on end, some are not strong enough to take care of themselves, much less their children. As spouses it is our job to stand in the gap and, when necessary, suggest a home visit or make a phone call to the city's child services.
So maybe once a quarter (or "as needed") isn't enough. Maybe home inspections should be mandatory (or, if living off base, at least a knock on the door) at least bi-monthly. If conducting them is the thing that keeps children out of danger or spouses from hurting themselves, are they too much to ask?

'Something wonderful' happened to them all
By MICHELE MILLER
Published May 2, 2007
Katya Pawlus didn't win the countywide Tropicana Speech Contest last week.
The fifth-grader took her school's top honor a few weeks earlier. That win, at Academy at the Farm Charter School in Dade City, gave her the opportunity to compete against 40 other elementary school winners for the countywide contest held April 26.
But San Antonio Elementary student Ashton Brooks is the one who will get her name etched on the big trophy. There was little doubt that Ashton deserved it. She pulled out all the stops - great articulation, hand gestures, wit, even a little singing - when she delivered her speech about her mom's "harmless" road rage.
Still, sometimes winning isn't about a trophy.
Just ask Katya. She won a new life and a place in her adoptive parents' hearts long before she donned a pink and lavender dress, got on that stage, took a deep breath and spoke:
"How would you feel if God gave you an opportunity and vision to have an amazing future? Well, that happened to me."
It all started when Katya was 8 years old. She was excited and a little scared about what would be expected from her when she first came to Wesley Chapel in 2003. She was one of 18 Russian orphans brought here for a two-week test visit as part of Adoptions Abroad's Camp Kids-Hope program. She spoke no English.
(The story of Katya's initial arrival was highlighted along with others in "Families Found & Lost, " a St. Petersburg Times story by Lane DeGregory published Aug. 17, 2003.)
These days, Katya talks matter-of-factly about how she and two of her siblings ended up at the orphanage in Kansk. "My parents were drinking all the time and there never was any food, so my grandmother called (the authorities) and they took us to the orphanage, " she said last week in perfect English, with no trace of an accent.
Tom and Gigi Pawlus fell in love with Katya immediately. Not long after their two-week visit they began the process of adopting Katya and her older sister, Selena, and another Russian orphan named Lydia. Including their two adopted American children, they now have five daughters who range in age from 12 to 17.
"Adoption is not for the faint of heart nor the light of wallet" is one of Gigi Pawlus' favorite sayings. She admits that the past three years have come with some struggles.
But then there are the strides.
"Every day when I hear them laughing or playing together I think about how far they've come, " she said.
Gigi Pawlus was ever so proud as she watched her youngest daughter speak of her new life in a new country and "hold her own against kids who were brought up here and grew up with the language."
Katya is not always one to talk about her feelings, Gigi Pawlus said, "though sometimes we see it in her writing."
"Three years ago at this time this child was not even speaking English, and to think now she's doing this - we're very proud of her, " Gigi Pawlus said.
And blessed, too, with the thankful message that came through loud and clear in the 12-year-old's very first try at public speaking.
"The Pawluses have provided me and my sister with a wonderful opportunity to have a new and tremendous life. God has given me the strength to accept all of what has happened to me and live my life the way He planned.
"So don't be surprised if one day something wonderful happens to you."

I just recently read that it's "common knowledge" that drinking young sheng is bad for your stomach and possibly kidneys. However common this knowledge might be, I'd never heard of it before yesterday, and I can't find much info on it. I haven't noticed any problems when drinking young sheng, but I don't want to cause myself long-term health issues. Can someone fill me in on this?
[edit] I should probably link to where I found this. One was on MarshalN's Blog, and the other was on a livejournal community.

FD's Washington ties 100 record
WAUKEE – The Fort Dodge boys track team placed third at the Warrior Relays Tuesday night.
The Dodgers tallied 93 points. Host Waukee (150) and Des Moines Lincoln (148) were first and second.
Connor Hubbard (discus, 153-8), Riley Prescott (shotput, 46-8) and Cray Washington (100, 10.94) were all individual champions for FDSH. Washington's handheld clocking (10.7) in the 100 actually tied Brad Klein (2001) for the school record.
"It was a beautiful night, and our kids ran really well," said Fort Dodge head coach John McBride. "Cray obviously ran a fantastic race and was nipped right at the end of the 200 as well. We're starting to see where we'll be able to put some things for districts."
Placing second for the Dodgers were Washington (200, 22.63) and Keegan Jones (400 hurdles, 55.76), while the shuttle hurdle (Tyler Vaughn, Austin Anderson, Adrean Johnson and Jones, 1:02.35), the 4×200 (Keegan Myers, JC Hatcher, Austin Anderson and Washington, 1:44.03), the medley (Tommy Halligan, Wesley Castro, Joey Gerdes and Caleb Asay, 4:02.76) and the 4×100 (Myers, Austin Anderson, Jones and Washington, 44.88) were all third.
In addition, Vaughn (high jump, 5-8), Thomas Thompson (3200, 10:33.73) and the 4×800 (Nic Ganzeveld, Asay, Bryce Rogers and Desmond Green, 9:15.69) each finished fourth. Gerdes (long jump, 10-7.5), Michael Carlson (discus, 123-6), Zach Anderson (400, 54.33), Myers (200, 23.16) and the 4×400 (Austin Anderson, Myers, Jones and Zach Anderson, 3:36.77) all checked in fifth, while Jake Porter (shotput, 43-6.5) was sixth.
Next outing for the Dodgers is Thursday at the CIC meet in Waukee.
Start time, weather permitting, is set for 3:30 p.m.

Back when publishers still released books about Iraq, Thomas Ricks wrote a pair of them that were forward-thinking for the time but now look powerfully prescient. Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq, 2003 to 2005 (2006) was a damning an indictment of the Bush / Cheney / Rumsfeld crew's excited rush to war and then seeming boredom with the details of actually managing it. It wasn't the first book to lay out that case, but given the depth of Ricks's reporting and his lack of ideological cant (which hampered a number of other books on the Iraq fisaco), it was one of the most definitive and difficult to dispute.
It was Fiasco's less-celebrated 2009 companion volume, however, that truly stands out today.

Pretty interesting entertainment news the other day that most of you probably already heard in some way. Disney has acquired the rights to produce new Star Wars movies and is even already eyeing a 2015 release for Episode 7.
I was never a Star Wars nerd, but I did grow up watching the originals whenever they were on TV and still do if nothing else is on. Hated the "prequels" (and that word) with a passion. Apparently, these new films will be largely free of George Lucas's influence, who only looks to be behind basic story ideas and not (thank God) writing or directing. With new films featuring new talent behind the cameras and free to go off in new directions without having to shoehorn in explanations and references like the prequels were forced to, they could be interesting. Or, more likely, a major cash-in attempt by Disney.

Smartphone manufacturers need to accommodate seven core smartphone applications, the "big seven," in their next-generation handset designs, according to analysts from In-Stat. These big seven applications include email, games, social networking, instant messaging, mapping & directions, music & radio, and weather.
"In-Stat tracks 26 different categories of smartphone applications. A designer can optimize a handset for any one of the application categories. However, it's the big seven applications that phone designers need to accommodate in each and every device," said Frank Dickson, vice president of research at In-Stat.
The three applications that have the highest compound annual growth rates through 2014 are micro blogging, mobile banking and VoIP. The number of Android apps downloaded is growing at the fastest rate; however, Apple applications still dominate both free and paid downloads. 2012 witnesses the last of the Palm OS application downloads.
The tsunami of mobile applications has created a hyper-competitive market putting significant pressure on prices and margins. Productivity applications such as mapping, business and enterprise applications and phone tools & utilities generate 59% of all smartphone application revenue. Combined, the big seven will account for 7 billion downloads worldwide in 2014.

Add warmth to a porch or patio with the soft glow of this Americana inspired lantern design.
Inspired by architecture, the top of this outdoor light has a timeless tiered design. It features a bronze finish and cream frosted, textured glass. From Franklin Iron Works™.
Shop all Franklin Iron Works
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Great product.
excellent product superior quality
These light were a warm addition to the outside of our house; front porch, back deck, and front of garage. Neighbors love them!
looks great on house and four car garage
Replaced our front porch light. This product is well-made, exactly as advertised, easy to install and beautiful. We will be buying 2 post lights next!
Well designed outdoor lamp of sturdy construction. This line of Franklin lamps in quite large....measure twice, buy once.
I had a handyman install the lights. I installed the 15-inch version on my front porch and three of the 12-inch lights on my back patio. These are nice looking, well-constructed lights.
I purchased four of these for both my front and back porch as well as a small bedroom deck. They are quite nice and work well with on our 100 year old bungalow. The item is NOT a hollowed out aluminum fixture; it is heavier than the average big-box-store fixture that uses smoke and mirrors to convince you of its quality. Item was very well packaged. The glass matches the fixture seamlessly and helps disperse light while being transparent enough to show off edison-style lights.
I used these light fixtures for the back yard deck area and one for our side porch……. This is a well made product and has some weight to it……. The only down fall would be the vibration in the glass…….. you can use silicone or two sided tape to make the glass more secure……… Installation pretty basic……. It looks really Sharp against my vertical Cedar siding……...
Installed fixtures on patio and they are very attractive. They are heavy and good quality.
The glass was packaged separately and a little hard to install in the fixture and actually had to use clear silicone to hold the glass securely in the fixture, but happy with purchase. This glass should have been installed at the factory.
These are high quality, heavy pieces. The light they give off is an inviting warm glow, perfect for welcoming guests. Looks great with our newly installed mission style door.
Great curb appeal!
Super excited about the quality of these lamps. I purchased 4 for the garage and can't wait to get them up. Durable, well made and solid construction. Can't speak to illumination or weathering since they're not up yet but I have high expectations.
These 9 lights are on our house, garage and garden shed. They look very stylish and attractive. They provide a beautiful outdoor ambience illuminating our yard,garden and walks with a soft golden glow. They were all packaged well and most were delivered in a timely manner.
We re-did our front porch and added rock to the wall. We put two of these lights, one on either side of our front door, and they look lovely. The soft golden glow of the lights enhances the texture of the rock wall behind them. I wish they took a 100 watt bulb instead of the 60 watt, but the soft glow is very attractive. The larger 15" size does take a 100 watt bulb, but they would have looked too large on our porch. The lights seem very well made, and the soft golden glass is very pretty with tiny bubbles in it.
I will use this 12" Hickory Point outdoor light on my garden shed because it matches all the other lights on my house and garage. Can't install it until the patio is dug up and redone with cement pavers because the electrical lines have to be buried. These lights look beautiful and stylish and provide a good amount of light to all ares of my home. They are standing up to weather well. I like them because I can use CFL bulbs and economize on energy costs.
We have not installed the fixture yet, but it is beautiful. The metal is heavy with very durable appearing finish.
Looks very classy
I bought three of these lights and couldn't be happier. As soon as I lifted one from the box, I was blown away by the quality. These are very solid, well made lights - they made the lamps I was replacing feel like they were made of tin foil. I placed one on each side of the garage door and one on the front porch. They look fantastic and provide tons of curb appeal and adequate lighting for the buck. We were able to install these ourselves, though it wasn't a quick process - I attribute that to our lack of experience in this area. I will say, that of the three lights, one had more of the bronze color than the other two. This was obvious when they were side by side, but I simply placed the two with similar finishes on the garage and the other by the porch. You don't notice it at all like this. Also, the description says "cream, frosted" glass but you should know that the glass definitely is a more golden color than cream. Despite this, I love the lights and would highly recommend them. The style is very transitional and would work with a variety of homes. Ours happens to be a stucco home with very clean lines and these work perfectly without being too modern for my tastes. Love them!
we installed two lanterns on our front porch, one on either side of the front door. Perfect light and stately presence. Installation was easy and adapter plate will accommodate any preexisting wall fixture, even one as old as our house (60yrs old).
I am a contractor and find this fixture be be of great quality and heavy duty. I will be using this fixture on our spec homes often.
great looking, high quality looks like it will last almost forever easy install
It was beautiful!
This is beautiful. The quality on this sconce is amazing. Very attractive.
Well made and easy to install. Very attractive.
I really like the style, quality, and practicality of this lamp. It looks great, puts off good light, and the bulbs are easy to replace.

Legislative forum on disability rights to be held at Minot State
Disability rights advocates will be holding an informational session at 2 p.m. Fridays at Minot State University's Memorial Hall, Room 236, throughout this legislative session.
Angie Dubovoy said Friday the sessions are open to the public and will focus on bills that affect those with disabilities. The session is sponsored by the North Dakota Protection and Advocacy Project.
Dubovoy said it's important for people to be informed about bills that could affect their lives and to know how to contact their legislators. Often bills are passed, become law, and people are not aware of them, said Dubovoy.
Dubovoy had a binder full of draft legislation about different bills that are about to be introduced in the House and the Senate, photos of area legislators and which districts they represent, and handouts with information about the state legislative process and advice about what and what not to include in a letter to a state legislator.
Key advice includes the importance of getting the legislator's name right and including the bill's title and number; being clear and concise and knowing what they are talking about and avoidng sending form letters or post cards, which will convince the legislator the letter writer is not serious. Letter writers are also told to be courteous and avoid writing letters filled with threats or only criticism.
Dubovoy said other communities in the state are holding similar sessions.
For more information, email email@example.com; call 328-2950 or 1-800-472-2670. The TDD relay number is 711.

IBT Realtime is the missing piece in the big data puzzle...
Realtime framework and applications push technology gives big data users a competitive edge, through instantaneous data gathering, analyses, and transmission to web and mobile users, at dramatically reduced bandwidth costs.
Just collecting and storing 'big data' doesn't drive value to an organization's bottom line. The real issue is the ability to quickly communicate with users and ask any question, any time, no matter how much data you have.
"Many IT companies are striving to get their piece of the big data action, but while the cost of storing and processing data has declined dramatically, the transmission of data in a timely manner - especially for cloud-based systems - can be a daunting, expensive task," said Sérgio Costa, Realtime VP for xRTML. "Our low-bandwidth push technology gives businesses a competitive edge, by updating user activities in milliseconds, without the need for a page change or refresh."
AJAX and other traditional transmission methods do not permit timely and efficient big data updates, for reasons of control, speed, scalability, and bandwidth consumption. Realtime's a one-to-one/many-to-many messaging provides several advantages over these technologies:
- Full-duplex very low latency push with average round-trip times of under 200ms.
- Developers have full control over website communications, allowing them to push content to users without the need for browser requests and polling.
- Messages much smaller than regular HTTP requests and responses, further reducing server load and bandwidth usage.
- Unlimited scalability, ensuring that you will reach your users and take advantage of your data the moment you need to.
- A publish-subscribe pattern with which messages and updates are published into channels that can be subscribed by applications and servers, allowing easy integration with various systems.
These Realtime advantages enable the cost-effective use of big data in demanding corporate environments, with an ease of deployment that developers love.
Founded in 1997 as Internet Business Technologies (IBT), Realtime is the creator of the leading global technology framework and applications to power the Realtime Web. The backbone of Realtime's Web technology is built on the Open Realtime Connectivity (ORTC) and Extensible Realtime Markup Language (xRTML). The Realtime Web also allows for unlimited Web scalability with maximum bandwidth efficiency.

IoT is at the core or many Digital Transformation initiatives with the goal of re-inventing a company's business model.

And with the lack of IoT history, traditional methods of IT and infrastructure planning based on the past do not app...

WebRTC sits at the intersection between VoIP and the Web. As such, it poses some interesting challenges for those developing services on top of it, but also for those who need to test and monitor these services. In his session at WebRTC Summit, Tsahi Levent-Levi, co-founder of testRTC, reviewed the various challenges posed by WebRTC when it comes to testing and monitoring and on ways to overcome them.

DevOps is being widely accepted (if not fully adopted) as essential in enterprise IT. But as Enterprise DevOps gains maturity, expands scope, and increases velocity, the need for data-driven decisions across teams becomes more acute. DevOps teams in any modern business must wrangle the 'digital exhaust' from the delivery toolchain, "pervasive" and "cognitive" computing, APIs and services, mobile devices and applications, the Internet of Things, and now even blockchain. In this power panel at @...

WebRTC services have already permeated corporate communications in the form of videoconferencing solutions. However, WebRTC has the potential of going beyond and catalyzing a new class of services providing more than calls with capabilities such as mass-scale real-time media broadcasting, enriched and augmented video, person-to-machine and machine-to-machine communications. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Luis Lopez, CEO of Kurento, introduced the technologies required for implementing these idea...

Performance Comparison
As usual, we are going to compare the mainboards speeds in two different modes: in nominal mode and during CPU and memory overclocking. The first mode is interesting because it shows how well the mainboards work with their default settings. It is a known fact that most users do not fine-tune their systems, they simply choose the optimal BIOS settings and do nothing else. That is why we run a round of tests almost without interfering in any way with the default mainboard settings. For comparison purposes we also included the results of the previously reviewed ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Professional, ASRock Z77 Extreme4 and ASRock Z77 Extreme6, ASRock Z77 Extreme9, Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe, Asus Sabertooth Z77, Gigabyte G1.Sniper 3, Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H and GA-Z77X-UD5H-WB WIFI, Intel DZ77BH-55K, Intel DZ77GA-70K and Intel DZ77RE-75K, and MSI Z77A-GD65 mainboards. The results on the diagrams are sorted out in descending order.
Nominal Mode
We used Cinebench 11.5. All tests were run five times and the average result of the five runs was taken for the performance charts.
We have been using Fritz Chess Benchmark utility for a long time already and it proved very illustrative. It generated repeated results, the performance in it is scales perfectly depending on the number of involved computational threads.
A small video in x264 HD Benchmark 4.0 is encoded in two passes and then the entire process is repeated four times. The average results of the second pass are displayed on the following diagram:
We measured the performance in Adobe Photoshop using our own benchmark made from Retouch Artists Photoshop Speed Test that has been creatively modified. It includes typical editing of four 10-megapixel images from a digital photo camera.
In the archiving test a 1 GB file is compressed using LZMA2 algorithms, while other compression settings remain at defaults.
Like in the data compression test, the faster 16 million of Pi digits are calculated, the better. This is the only benchmark where the number of processor cores doesn't really matter, because it creates single-threaded load.
Since we do not overclock graphics in our mainboard reviews, the next diagram shows only CPU tests from the 3DMark11 – Physics Score. This score is obtained in a special physics test that emulates the behavior of a complex gaming system working with numerous objects:
We use FC2 Benchmark Tool to go over Ranch Small map ten times in 1920x1080 resolution with high image quality settings in DirectX 10.
Resident Evil 5 game also has a built-in performance test. Its peculiarity is that it can really take advantage of multi-core processor architecture. The tests were run in DirectX 10 in 1920x1080 resolution with high image quality settings. The average of five test runs was taken for further analysis:
Batman: Arkham City game also reacts eagerly to any changes in the CPU clock frequency, but it uses DirectX 11. We ran game's integrated benchmark five times with high image quality settings and then take the average of the five runs for the diagrams.
In the nominal mode both Gigabyte mainboards discussed in this review perform very well, demonstrating above average results. Only in Resident Evil 5 game Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH mainboard fell behind everyone else for some reason. However, the performance difference is still minor, so there is nothing critical about this result.

Transvulcania Preview - Page 2
Photo courtesy of The North Face (by Tim Kemple) - Nikki Kimball running in Brazil
"I'm feeling healthy now and am psyched to race," says Kimball, whose training was set back this winter due to hypothermia and frostbite sustained during the ski mountaineering season. "I no longer run as fast as I did from about 1998 to 2008, and I do not know how many world class performances my body has in it. However, I love the sport of trail running and want to visit as many race venues as I can while I can still run decently."
Also registered is the reigning IAU World Trail Challenge champion, Maud Gobert of France and the Transvulcania defending champion, Monica Aguilaera of Spain.
"Both fields are stacked at Transvulcania," Kimball continues. "Many top women will be there, but the men's field looks very, very deep."
In the men's race, 2011 Western States and Ultra Trail Du Mont Blanc (UTMB) winner, Kilian Jornet, of Spain will face off against Americans Mike Wolfe, 2011 TNF 50-Mile Championships winner, 2012 Sonoma 50 Mile champion and 2011 TNF 50 runner-up, Dakota Jones, and 2010 Western States champion, Geoff Roes.

Getting Cosi With Down and Out Restaurants
Success among publicly traded restaurant names is often fleeting, save for a handful that have had true staying power throughout the years. McDonald's (MCD) is perhaps the greatest success story, with its long storied history and net profit margins in the 20% range, which makes it look more like a pharmaceutical name than a restaurant. I can still order the same things from the McDonald's menu that I did as a child; although the company has added much to the menu over the years, the basics are still the same.
Other, "newer" names, such as Panera (PNRA) , Yum Brands (YUM) and Darden (DRI) have also shown great successes over their histories in the public markets, while concept names such as Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) have also made a splash.
Then there's Chipotle (CMG) , which had a massive run and was a veritable "ten bagger" between late 2008 and early 2012. While it has pulled back substantially in the past year, Chipotle has been the poster child for new restaurant concepts, and the most talked about name in the sector the past few years. It's also a great example of what happens when expectations are too high. This may end up being one of the greats, but it was priced for perfection, and fell about 45% between last April and October.
As a value investor, I'm not wired for the growth stories, or the high multiples that come along with great expectations. I am wired to look for the down and out names that are ignored by the market, exhibit some characteristics that suggest a potential turnaround, and are mispriced (in my opinion, anyway.)
While it is a dangerous game to buy down and out restaurant names, I've had some success the past several years with names like Denny's (DENN) , Cracker Barrel (CBRL) and Krispy Kreme (KKD) . I've also had disappointment with Wendy's (WEN) .
My current restaurant reclamation project is Cosi (COSI) , which actually got some press yesterday when Roth Capital put a buy rating and $2 target price on the stock. This company has been the epitome of a bad experience for investors. Cosi has been in the black (from operations) just one quarter in its 10-plus years as a publicly traded company. While the food has been very good (at least as long as I've been a patron) the operating costs have been extremely high, and the menu way too complicated.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (85 votes).
In short: My first race and I loved every minute!Date of review: December 5, 2010
In short: Numbers seemed fewer this year.In full: Came for a PB. Got it.Date of review: December 5, 2010
In short: very good course, excellent friendly marshalling, great goody bag, thoroughly enjoyed and top marks to allDate of review: December 5, 2010
In short: Fast, flat and a few yards from my house - what could be better?In full: The one race I can walk to from my front door - why haven't I done it before?Great organisation, despite having to make a few little last minute changes to the course due to flooding. Thanks, to all involved. Just one suggestion - why not advertise the race locally and encourage a few more unattached runners along?Date of review: February 12, 2010
In short: Rain held off and even a bit of sun!In full: Good flat race which I have done a few times. Could have done with a 5-4-3-2-1 at the start. Marshalls very encouraging and were doing their job well in the dangerous places. (to those who thought there were not dangerous places, that is because the Marshalls did well).Runners at finish wlaking aimlessley across where other runners were still coming in - be aware. Good to get a cup of tea after. Could not wait for presentations, maybe could have been a bit earlier - as per previous years?Overall great race, well organised, and worth noting that "running clubs do it better!"Date of review: December 8, 2009
In short: Excellent raceIn full: Excellent race. Well organised and excellent marshalls. Special thanks to the marshall who tried to sweep water off the path. Nice to finish on an athletics track. A bit slower than I'd hoped but this was down to me rather than the course! Hope to be back next year.Date of review: December 8, 2009
In short: Great, well organised race by ESM. Always a pleasure.In full: I was not pleased when I saw Death at the start line, but he didn't have his scythe with him, so I live to run another day...Date of review: December 7, 2009
In short: nice raceIn full: enjoyed the event but thought the finish was a bit underwhelming - sad really as it was on a athletic track! Did not see any goodie bags .Date of review: December 7, 2009
In short: well organised, mainly traffic free couseIn full: very friendly marshalls, well marked course, luckily rain stopped for raceDate of review: December 7, 2009
In short: Good,friendly,very well organized race ending with a flourishIn full: Once again I was impressed by the people who run this. Not every club race is welcoming,well organized and well marshalled. This one is. And although the race has plenty of footpaths and hits the unlovely back streets of Perivale,there's a nice park with a great view of the Wembley arch and a nice finish on an athletics track. This race was plagued by very heavy rain beforehand which made for wet ground and massive puddles but congratulations to the great marshall with a broom,gallantly trying to brush it away from a stubborn,sodden footpath. Your efforts and that of the whole club did not go unnoticed. See you next year. Date of review: December 7, 2009

"Rick Riordan has created a great start to the new series, that is a sequel to the percy Jackson and the Olympians series. he starts off this series introducing the Roman side of the gods and their more powerful, roman demi-gods which have been kept away from the Greek demi-gods. Will Jason be able to unite the two groups in order to prevent Gaea from rising from her Earth prison?"

From Our Gurus' Teachings
- Gurudeva's Master Course Lesson of the Day
Bodhinatha's Latest Upadeshas:
"God Siva —the Supreme Being" (January 01,2017)
Lord Siva is the Supreme Being of the universe, not one of many gods. To Saivites Siva is the supreme being; to Vaishnavites Vishnu is the supreme being. The soul starts with experiencing the world. On one side the soul is pulled by veiling grace toward the world. On the inside the soul is pulled by revealing grace toward God. Resolving karma, maturing in the world, fulfilling dharma, we move toward imperturbability, realization, moksha.
Path to Siva, Lesson 11.

Today, at 2:00 p.m. EDT, Assistant Secretary of State for Verification, Compliance, and Implementation Rose Gottemoeller and Ambassador Richard Burt will discuss the New START Treaty and President Obama's vision for decreasing the threat of nuclear arms. The event takes place at Georgetown University, and you can watch a livestream, starting at 2:00 p.m., here.
Last month, Assistant Secretary Gottemoeller joined Secretary Clinton for remarks on the new START treaty's ratification. Secretary Clinton said, "In the weeks and months since the treaty was submitted to the Senate, it has earned bipartisan support from senators on both sides of the aisle as well as statesmen in and out of government from both parties. They understand that once the new START treaty is ratified and enters into force, it will advance our national security and provide stability and predictability between the world's two leading nuclear powers."
When she spoke before the Senate Arms Committee Hearing on START on June 17, Secretary Clinton underscored the treaty's importance, noting that it would provide transparency "for the two countries with more than 90 percent of the world's nuclear weapons."
You can watch a July 29 "Conversations With America" discussion between Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security Ellen Tauscher and Steven Pifer, Director of the Brookings Institution's Arms Control Initiative, here.
More information about the New START Treaty and other nonproliferation initiatives is available here.

Focus on the Suitcases.......
In the new millennium; the focus should be on small portable nuclear materials and dual-use commodities..beware of Samso-Nukes....the terrorist's weapon of choice.
Donald M. in Virginia writes:
Actually they need to focus on three types of possbilities, the suitecase Ron mentioned, a rocket or missile attack, and lets not forget we As Americans used bombs that dropped over Japan in 1945, the Enola Gay. Lets also not forget they were in a fixed wing aircraft, not a missile or rocket flown across the world. However, Rons point is good for human terrorist that try the suicide attacks only for Media headlines.

Olá from Washington, D.C.! We're home again after a busy and exciting trip to Brasilia and São Paulo.
Tuesday was the first-annual meeting of the Open Government Partnership, whose member countries contain a quarter of the world's population. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, President Rousseff of Brazil, President Kikwete of Tanzania, and Prime Minister Gilauri of Georgia all spoke on the impact that government transparency and openness can make on the global community. More than 800 representatives from over 60 countries and more than 200 civil society organizations were in attendance.
Later, I met with members of the Brazilian university community who visited the United States in March. They included the Director of the University of Brasilia's International Relations Office Luc François, Brazilian professors, an English Language Fellow, and two American Masters students. A major theme of our conversation was incentivizing Portuguese language learning in the United States and promoting English3, the U.S. Embassy Brasilia's innovative immersion program.
Afterwards, Brazil's federal government education team discussed ways to enhance our current cooperation. We focused on secondary school teacher training, English and Portuguese language programs, distance learning, and sending U.S. students, researchers, and faculty to Brazil to support 100,000 Strong in the Americas.
I also spoke about educational opportunities for youth to 90 students from various ECA programs, including Youth Ambassadors, Student Leaders, prospective Youth Council members, English3 applicants, Binational Center representatives, Science Without Borders scholarship recipients, and potential exchange and language students. Students, in turn, shared their experiences and reiterated their continued interest in U.S.-based internships and other programs. We thanked the students and then headed to the airport to catch our flight to São Paulo.
Wednesday began with a meeting with the Secretary of Education of the State of São Paulo, Herman Voorwald. São Paulo has the largest state education system in Brazil. With 5,271 schools, 235,000 teachers and 4.3 million students, the state will be a key partner in reaching our education goals with Brazil. Under Secretary Voorwald's leadership, São Paulo's students are already seeing exciting changes, including new emphasis on strengthening teacher incentives, special needs programs, reading and writing instruction, technology, and more. I was excited to collaborate with this department -- everyone was so supportive of English language programs and exploring future partnerships.
Next, we visited Centro Paula Souza, a public education network of technical and vocational high schools and colleges for nearly 300,000 students across the state, and met with a group of students. The Center sponsors a one-month English and cultural immersion program in the United States for 500 students and 100 teachers.
Meeting local ECA alumni was a true highlight of the trip -- we had a chance to hear about how learning English had transformed their lives and enabled their experiences through the E-Teacher Scholarship, English Certificate for Brazilian Public School English Teachers, English Access Microscholarship Program, and the International Visitor Leadership Programs.
The day -- and the trip -- ended on a high note at the Shooting Stars Basketball Program. It's a program run by the Social Service of Commerce (SESC) in São Paulo, a cultural organization profiled by the New York Times that serves 41 million people on a $600 million annual budget. Shooting Stars is the SESC's exciting one-year pilot project that uses sports to promote English language and leadership training for at-risk public school students. During our visit, I even stepped up and took a shot from the foul line -- and scored!
It was the perfect ending to a great visit. Our two countries have all the foundations of a strong, lasting partnership -- and I cannot wait to see where that partnership will take us.
