ANAHEIM, Calif. (Sept. 24, 2009) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team, ranked second in the world, dominated Costa Rica 25-7, 25-10, 25-13 on Thursday evening to conclude NORCECA Continental Championship Pool B at Bayamon, Puerto Rico.
With the victory, Team USA finishes second in the pool with a 2-1 record and advances to the quarterfinals to play Canada on Friday scheduled for 6 p.m. (3 p.m. Pacific Time). Cuba won Pool B with a 3-0 record after handling Mexico earlier today and receives an automatic berth into the semifinals.
The NORCECA Continental Championship concludes Sept. 27 after the quarterfinal round on Sept. 25 and semifinals/classifications on Sept. 26. The NORCECA Continental Championship winner qualifies for the 2009 FIVB Grand Champions Cup to be held Nov. 10-15 in Japan. Each of the four continental champions earns a spot into the FIVB Grand Champions Cup, along with host Japan and one wild card team.
The U.S. scored the first six points of the opening against Costa Rica and cruised to the 25-7 victory, which included four aces and three blocks. After Costa Rica earned its first lead of the match at 8-7 in the second set, the U.S. rattled off 15 of the next 17 points for a convincing 25-10 victory. Costa Rica led 6-5 and 7-6 in the third set, but a 6-0 U.S. scoring run built a 12-7 advantage and the Americans went on to win 25-12.
"We are ready to face Canada," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon said. "But it was not a surprise that we lost to Cuba in our pool. Now we are ready to play as many matches as we can."
Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) scored 11 kills on 17 errorless attacks to go with an ace in leading the U.S. offense. She was also the only player to start all three sets. Christa Harmotto (Aliquippa, Pa.) added five kills on six errorless attacks and five blocks for 10 points despite only playing the final two sets. Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio) chipped in eight kills on 14 attacks while starting just one set. Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa) contributed six kills on 14 errorless swings to go with one block for seven points in two sets of action.
Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) charted four points including two blocks in just the first set. Angie Pressey (Lake Mary, Fla.), Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) and Elisha Thomas (Grass Valley, Calif.) all tacked on three points. Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) scored both her points on aces, while Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) rounded out the scoring with a block.
Berg led the American defense with eight digs from her setter position to go with four assists. Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) and Metcalf each added four digs in the victory. Courtney Thompson (Kent, Wash.) provided a team-high five assists. Pressey and Sykora each tallied team-high five excellent receptions on seven attempts each.
"I am very happy with the victory but we want to keep focused in our next matches," Metcalf said.
McCutcheon started Berg at setter, Metcalf at opposite, Bown and Scott-Arruda at middle blocker and Barboza and Larson at outside hitter. Sykora was the libero for the match. Pressey and Harmotto started the second and third sets. Fawcett, Thompson and Thomas were subs in the first two sets, then started the third set.
The U.S. connected for kills on 51.4 percent of its attack attempts (37 of 72) and scored a .472 hitting efficiency with only three attack errors on the evening. The Americans held 12-2 block advantage and 4-0 margin in aces. Team USA defense held Costa Rica to a 22.7 conversion rate on attack attempts (17 of 75). Costa Rica committed 23 errors in the match, including 16 hitting errors.
Verania Willis paced Costa Rica with nine points, while Karen Cope added four points.
"The serves of USA did a lot of damage today as our reception is one aspect we need to improve," Willis said.
"Playing against USA is always very tough because it is a team that makes few mistakes," said Braulio Godinez, the Costa Rican coach. "Also our attack is very predictable and they were ready with their blocking."
The U.S. has now defeated Costa Rica three times in 2009, all in different tournaments. The Americans allowed the Costa Ricans only 29 points to open the Pan American Cup on June 26. In the gold-medal match of the FIVB World Championship Qualification Tournament – NORCECA Pool G, the U.S. defeated Costa Rica 25-15, 25-9, 25-15 to earn a berth into next year's World Championship in Japan.
Earlier in the NORCECA Championship, the U.S. topped Mexico in three sets on Sept. 22 and lost a heart-breaking five-set match to Cuba on Sept. 23 after winning the first two sets and having three match points in the fourth set.
Historically, this year's Pool B participants have ruled the NORCECA Continental Championship with all 20 previous titles. Cuba (1973, 1975, 1977, 1979, 1985, 1987, 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2007) has won the event 13 times, while the United States (1981, 1983, 2001, 2003, 2005) has won the championship five times and Mexico twice (1969, 1971). Further, USA and Cuba have played against each other in 16 of the last 17 finals.
The U.S. built an early 6-0 advantage in the opening set as Scott-Arruda and Barboza led with kills, followed by two aces from Berg and capped by two Metcalf kills. Barboza served an ace to give the U.S. an 8-1 lead at the first technical timeout after a Scott-Arruda kill. Costa Rica traded points through 11-4, but Fawcett started a 3-0 USA run with a kill and Larson added an ace to give the Americans a 14-4 advantage. Leading 15-6, the U.S. scored 10 of the final 11 points with two kills from Barboza and a set-ending Thomas block at 25-7 for her first point of the season.
Metcalf and Harmotto scored kills around a Costa Rica error to yield a quick 3-0 start for the U.S. in the second set. Bown put up a block after a Costa Rica service error to extend the margin to 6-2. However, Costa Rica stormed back with four unanswered points with two points from Willis to tie the set. Costa Rica earned its first lead at 8-7 going into the first technical timeout, but it was all downhill after the break. Two Costa Rica errors put the U.S. back in the lead at 9-8. Barboza broke a 9-all tie with a kill and started a 3-0 run for a 12-9 lead. The Americans rattled off eight consecutive points to take a 20-12 lead with three points coming off Barboza kills and an ace by Berg. After Costa Rica broke the scoring run, Team USA scored the final five points for a 25-10 victory with kills from Harmotto and Pressey in the last flurry.
The U.S. earned a 3-0 start to the third set with kills coming from Harmotto, Barboza and Fawcett. Costa Rica answered by taking a 6-5 advantage. Trailing 7-6, the U.S. took advantage of four Costa Rica errors around kills by Thomas and Fawcett to provide the Americans a 12-7 margin. Costa Rica inched back to within four at 13-9, but Fawcett and Barboza responded with kills to return the gap to six at 15-9. Harmotto tallied two blocks and a kill while Fawcett and Richards added kills to extend the margin to double digits at 20-10. Another 4-0 run by the U.S. gave it match points at 24-11 as Harmotto tallied a kill and block after Richards and Pressey earned consecutive kills. Fawcett ended the match at 25-13 with a kill.

Quist is forward-thinking
To the editor:
There are those who think about what is best for the present and there are those who think about what is best for the future.
I have known Allen Quist most of my life. Allen's family along with my family and I continue to farm land that both of our families have farmed for generations. One thing I remember well is that Allen was one of first farmers in our neighborhood to use conservation tillage and to install grass filter strips to protect the soil so it can provide the crops for his family to survive. All of this was done not only before consumers demanded we farmers stop soil erosion, but Allen was employing these practices when most of us farmers were still using moldboard plows. The above just goes to show how much Allen still cares about protecting the soil and how much he wants to protect the state of Minnesota.
Now there have been other ways in which Allen has been a forward thinker, but this letter illustrates why I encourage you to vote for Allen Quist for state representative, District 19A, on Feb. 12.

Stock Futures Rise After Strong Jobs Report
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures turned positive Friday after a better-than-expected nonfarm payrolls report and a dip in the jobless rate.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were rising 57 points, or 51.96 points above fair value, at 13,120. Futures for the S&P 500 were up 4.90 points, or 5.06 points above fair value, at 1417. Futures for the Nasdaq were up 12.75 points, or 12.15 points above fair value, at 2666.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday that nonfarm payrolls added 146,000 jobs in November, up from a downwardlyrevised figure of 138,000 in October. Economists had predicted that 93,000 jobs would be added in November.
Nonfarm private payrolls increased by 147,000, down from an upwardly revised 189,000. Expectations were for a rise of 95,000.
The unemployment rate fell to 7.7% from 7.9%; economists forecast the rate to remain at 7.9%.
"The Sandy effect may be more revealing in the December numbers with downward revisions to November payrolls, and a more complete accounting of the weather effects. We argued at length that storm effects always translate unevenly into payrolls, but are a bit surprised there was not a more obvious impact given the timing of the survey period," said Eric Green, global head of research for rates and foreign exchange at TD Securities. "Overall, however, even if December comes in below the print today, we have to view November and December as one, take whatever lumps come our way from Sandy, and know that the effect will be fleeting."
At 9:55 a.m. EST, the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index is expected to come in at 82.4 in December, down from 82.7 the prior month.
Then at 3 p.m., economists expect data to show that consumer credit increased by $10 billion in October, down from an expansion of $11.4 billion in September.
The major U.S. stock averages rose Thursday as shares of technology behemoth Apple (AAPL) rebounded and investors watched the U.S. "fiscal cliff" debates with a bit more optimism.
" Even with the looming fiscal cliff, U.S. markets are still desirable for investors, given the economic turmoil in overseas markets, the U.S.'s low interest rates, strengthening housing market and significant domestic energy discoveries," said Troy Logan, managing director and senior economist at Warren Financial Service. "Additionally, should the nonfarm payrolls on Friday continue to improve, even though Hurricane Sandy may affect the results, this data will serve as further evidence that the U.S. is moving forward and 'buying U.S.' makes sense."
The FTSE 100 in London was down 0.06% and the DAX in Germany was off 0.1% as the German Bundesbank lowered its 2013 economic growth outlook for the country as the eurozone sovereign debt crisis persists.

If the product you would like is not listed, please complete our Product Request form and we will discuss it in our weekly product range meeting (your requests do genuinely get heard).
What is the difference between your Magicscreen and Easyscreen screen protectors?
Magicscreen uses the 'static-cling' screen protector format that most of the world's leading screen protector brands use. It is the most commonly used format of screen protector by a very large margin.
Our protectors do not use adhesive to stick to the screen, they use an electrostatically charged silicon layer that sucks/secures the protector to the device screen using an 'electrostatic-cling' produced vacuum.
This is how our protectors can be easily removed without residue/markings being left on the device screen.
Easyscreen is our 'next generation' screen protector for large screen devices, and the result of many months of research.
Unlike 'regular' format screen protectors like Magicscreen, Easyscreen does not stick to the viewable area of the screen. This means that that air or dust bubbles will never occur on the viewable screen area during the application of Easyscreen.
Adhesive is only used around the Easyscreen border, which is coloured to ensure that any air trapped under it is not visible.
This colouring of the border has allowed us to offer a range of ten different colours.
Due to the way that it works, Easyscreen can only be produced for certain devices, primarily large screen devices.
Due to the Laws of Physics, Easyscreen can also only be produced in our Matte Clear edition. It is not possible to create a Crystal Clear edition Easyscreen.
What is the difference between your Crystal Clear and Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) screen protector editions?
The main difference is the surface texture:
- Our Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) edition has a frosted matte surface which reduces screen glare.
It also feels really nice to touch (although it may take you a few hours to get used to), nicer than the regular screen texture in our opinion.
Our Matte Clear edition is very popular in particular for tablet devices, as it greatly aids reading the screen outside in sunny conditions.
Matte material protectors do produce a slight pixellation of the screen, as this is the natural effect created by the Matte (anti-glare) frosted texture. It is simply an unavoidable 'Law of Physics', and you should forget about it after a few hours once you stop consciously thinking about it.
You will see this pixellation on all anti-glare screen protectors from all brands (many of which are noticeably more extreme than ours). Apple's matte screen monitors (and professional television industry monitors) display it also, as it is simply unavoidable.
If you require a perfectly 'crystal clear' screen, then we strongly recommend using our (glossy surfaced) Crystal Clear edition instead, which is invisible when applied to the device screen, and does not affect its clarity in any way.
- Our Crystal Clear (Invisible) edition uses a glossy surface texture.
It is invisible on your phone when applied, and feels like your device's natural screen. It does not affect the device's screen glare or clarity in any way.
Glossy screen protectors do inevitably attract fingerprints, like a regular device screen does.
Some of the latest electronic device screens have a very expensive 'oleophobic' (anti-fingerprint) surface layer, and therefore you may notice extra fingerprinting if using a glossy screen protector on them.
For example: The iPhones 3GS/4/4S have an anti-fingerprint screen surface, whereas the iPhone 3G and the iPad 1/iPad 2 do not have it. Our Crystal Clear edition protector therefore provides the same fingerprint resistance as the latter devices.
Does your Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) edition affect the clarity of the device screen?
Matte material protectors do produce a slight pixellation of the screen, as this is the natural effect created by the Matte (anti-glare) frosted texture. It is simply an unavoidable 'Law of Physics', and you should forget about it after a few hours once you stop consciously thinking about it.
You will see this pixellation on all anti-glare screen protectors from all brands (many of which are noticeably more extreme than ours). Apple's matte screen monitors (and professional television industry monitors) display it also, as it is simply unavoidable.
If you require a perfectly 'crystal clear' screen, then we strongly recommend using our (glossy surfaced) Crystal Clear edition instead, which is invisible when applied to the device screen, and does not affect its clarity in any way.
Will your screen protectors affect either the sensitivity of my device's touch screen, or the light/proximity sensor under the screen?
Our screen protectors do not affect the sensitivity of touch screens or light/proximity sensors in any way. In fact, you are even able to use our Magicwand capacitive touch screen stylus when one of our screen protectors is applied.
Do your screen protectors cover the front facing camera or the light/proximity sensor in the device screen?
Our protectors have a purpose cut hole for front facing cameras (to prevent any light 'flaring' from appearing in photos).
In the vast majority of cases, our protectors do cover the light/proximity sensor, as (unlike products from competing brands) they do not affect the sensitivity of the sensor.
Are your screen protectors the unscratchable format, or the scratch-resistant format (i.e. protect 'from' scratching)?
There are two different types of screen protector: 'hard' unscratchable protectors, and 'soft' scratch-resistant protectors. They are rather different to each other, and both have their own advantages and limitations compared to the other.
Our protectors are the 'soft' static-cling scratch-resistant type (i.e. they protect your device 'from' scratches, rather than being totally resistant to scratches themselves). This format is the most popular type of screen protector by a very large margin, and most of the world's leading screen protector brands also use it.
Our protectors are more (or equally) resistant to scratches than all directly competing scratch-resistant screen protector products, and provide a high level of protection for your screen (even if they pick up scratches themselves).
To prevent the screen protectors themselves from getting scratched, treat your device well by keeping it away from keys and other sharp objects. Keys do huge damage to device screens, and can easily result in hairline scratching of the protectors if you keep them in the same pocket.
It would be possible for us to make our protectors more resistant to scratches, however this would remove the friction of the surface texture, and as a result they would not feel smooth to touch.
One major issue with the protectors that claim to be unscratchable, is that they do feel very rubbery, and affect the user's enjoyment of their device. That is not something we wish our customers to experience, and therefore we do not range unscratchable protectors. Our protectors provide benefits in other areas.
Please see this link to our troubleshooting guide for a detailed comparison of our protector format versus 'unscratchable' protectors like Zagg's InvisibleShield (the best known 'unscratchable' screen protector).
You may want to read Amazon reviews of the InvisibleShield to see if it is perhaps a product better suited to your requirements.
Please note that Zagg do not sell a Matte 'unscratchable' screen protector, because it is not achievable as Matte material is a bit softer than glossy material, and scratches are also more obvious due to the frosted texture.

The instructions suggest watching the installation video on their website. I did this first and strongly recommend it. The video gives lots of good tips and it made the whole process much easier.
I started by clearing an area on the table to give some space to work (away from anything that was dusty). I also gave the table a quick dust as I didn't want any trapped particles under the screen protector. I gave the Iphone screen a really thorough clean with the provided microfibre cloth. I also had some sticky tape handy in case I got any trapped dust (the video gives a really good tip on how to use the tape to remove any trapped dust). As it happens, I didn't need the tape. I started applying the protector exactly as shown in the video tutorial, using the supplied 'credit card' calendar to smooth it as I went. About 2 thirds of the way down, I realised my alignment was off a little. No problem, just lift the protector and align again. Second time it was aligned perfectly (It should be noted here that by following the video tutorial, you can lift the protector to re-align without having to touch the bottom surface, it's very easy).
After application, I smoothed out a little more with the credit card. There were a couple of small air bubbles that just smoothed right out. Once happy, I rubbed over the top with the cloth just to secure everything in place. Last step is to peel off the top surface (it's only there for protection during installation).
Once done, the result was absolutely flawless. There is no way you would even know a screen protector is on there. The feel of the protector is every bit as good as the original Iphone glass (some protectors don't have a smooth feel). Also, it doesn't affect the performance of the touch screen at all.
So overall, I have to rate this product very highly. I was really apprehensive at installing a screen protector because I am a bit of a perfectionist and I didn't want something that looked a bit naff. Like I said, you wouldn't even know this one is on there, it is flawless (Customer service of Mediadevil is great also).
If you have spent good money on a phone (or someone else has if it's a gift!), don't skimp on buying a sub-standard screen protector. Buy this one, you won't regret it! (Posted on 28/12/2012)

The loss does not remove the U.S., ranked eighth in the world, from London Paralympics contingency as Brazil previously qualified for the Paralympics in 2011.
The U.S. finished fourth in Pool A in the ICC, but remains second in the London qualification pool. The team will face Germany, ranked fifth in the world, on Thursday at 9:30 a.m. (EET) in the London qualification semifinals in the Americans' most important match of the year. The U.S. must beat Germany and win the London finals match to earn the final bid and stamp its ticket to the 2012 London Paralympics.
In ICC competition the Americans will face Iran, the defending world champions, on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. (EET) in a quarterfinal match. The match does not have any bearing on Paralympic qualifying.
On Wednesday, the U.S. showcased their best talent against Brazil but was unable to take the win.
"We played well, but in the end we needed a few more aggressive swings to put Brazil away in the third and fourth sets when we held two-point leads when the set was on the line," U.S. Head Coach Bill Hamiter (Bethany, Okla.) said. "The guys did a superb job in executing our game plan to give ourselves a chance to win. It was disappointing to lose but I commend the effort the guys put forward."
Hamiter started Eric Duda (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Edmond, Okla.) and James Stuck (New Kensington, Pa./Edmond, Okla.) at outside hitter, Dan Regan (St. Louis, Mo./Edmond, Okla.) and Roderick Green (West Monroe, La./Edmond, Okla.) at middle, J. Dee Marinko (Newcastle, Okla.) and Hugo Storer (Greensboro, N.C.) at right site and Ed O'Neil (Amherst, Mass./Edmond, Okla.) at libero. Charles Swearingen (Gulfport, Miss./Edmond, Okla.) started in place of Storer in the second and third sets.
Duda posted a team-high 21 points off of 16 kills, three blocks and two aces. Regan posted 10 points off of six kills, three blocks and a service ace while Marinko charted eight points off five kills, two blocks and one service ace. Green scored nine points off six kills, two blocks and a service ace and Stuck contributed seven points from five kills and two blocks. Stuck's seven points came from five kills and two blocks and Swearingen posted five points off four kills and a service ace. Storer recorded one kill for the match.
"We put up a good fight but didn't get the outcome we wanted," Duda said. "We have good momentum going into tomorrow's important matches.
Worlds will collide on Thursday when the U.S. takes the court as Germany's Alexander Schiffler is the husband of U.S. Women's Sitting Volleyball player Michelle Schiffler.
The 14 teams are competing in two separate tournaments during their play, one for Paralympic qualification and one for the Intercontinental Cup (ICC). Matches only count for the London qualification if they are against non-qualified opponents. On the contrary, all matches leading up to the London qualification semis and finals, even those against Egypt, Iran and Brazil (which have already qualified for the Paralympics) count toward the Intercontinental Cup standings. Each tournament will have its own set of winners and results.
The last time the U.S. Men's Sitting Team qualified for the Paralympic Games was in 2004 when it defeated Brazil at the Parapan American Games in Argentina for a bid to the Athens Paralympics.

Bucharest Conference Outcome
posted 7 years ago in CUBRID Life category by Esen Sagynov
Last Thursday on May 27th, 2010, CUBRID for the first time was introduced to Romania developers at Agora Technology Conference on Open Source Software. There were about 40 conference attendees, and 6 corporate company representatives who presented their open source solutions.
The Open Source / Free Software Conference is a part of a series of conferences on technology that aim to present solutions for public administration, financial institutions, telecom, utilities, and other large companies. The conference was held at Intercontinental Hotel in Bucharest, and also was broadcast live on the internet.
CUBRID was the first product to be presented at the conference. It was a 20 minutes presentation followed by a 10 minutes Q&A session held by Catalin Ciobanu and Maximilian Machedon, CUBRID representatives.
Main topics discussed at the conference were:
- What is CUBRID?
- Why use CUBRID?
- CUBRID structure and internal architecture
- CUBIRD Manager – a GUI administration tool
- Famous Web Applications which use CUBRID
Most participants heard about CUBRID for the first time and were very excited. They showed their extreme curiosity to learn about CUBRID, provided the positive feedbacks and asked several questions on CUBRID Architecture, the security, and, most importantly, the data migration tools from MySQL and SQL Server to CUBRID.
During the conference CUBRID contacted with people from companies like Ista, an energy data management company, eSolutions, an open source solutions integrator, and Microsoft Romania and other companies. Some of them showed their interest on deploying CUBRID as an alternative database in the future. We highly appreciated the initiation of such proposals. We promised to keep in touch with them to provide all the necessary technical and service support.
Overall, even though the Open Source / Free Software Conference is a small event, we believe this is the first step in the big journey to Europe. There will be more conference out there where CUBRID will definitely present the new ideas it is implementing for its highly optimized for the Web database management system. Our goal is to let everyone know about CUBRID. We will explain them its advantages, its superb performance, show them how to install it, use it. We will also provide them with applications and tools they can use to migrate the data from their existing database system to CUBRID. We are sure the users will like it!

Seriously, wasn't this business model (like all chain fast food) designed to remove the need for skill and artistry in order to produce a consistant product with the available labor force? More power to them if they are trying to swing the pendulum back the other way a little. I have to wonder what will be the effect on consistency and quality however? Too bad they appear to think the art in pizza is about throwing a piece of dough up in the air.
You know, before I learned what good pizza tasted like, Domino's was my favorite pizza. CL
When was this? It was mine too.
Would that be the art and skill of running an impinger oven?
Mamamia! Guiseppi, you worka dat impinga like a pizzaiolo!
When was this? It was mine too. There was a time when Domino's was actually pretty good IMO. Early '80's and earlier. Then they decided to reduce their food costs and it was downhill from there.
Yeah back when they were decent they used deck ovens.
This is true. They used deck ovens and they cooked the pizzas on screens. It was pretty tasty back then. Don't know why they just wouldn't go back to that.
Mark Iocono and Paulie Gee should charge royalty fees for Dominoes using the term "pizza theater".I guess I was fortunate. Early on my folks were to strapped to afford pizza that often. And when we did it was never chain pizza. I might have had Dominoes all of ten times in my life. -k
Mark Iocono and Paulie Gee should charge royalty fees for Dominoes using the term "pizza theater".
Craig answered, "lack of skilled labor"Wow, what in the world is up with todays "labor force" ?Early 70's......13 yr. old kids open and close the shop...from prep to manning stacked deck ovens (I would stand on a stool)
Sounds like some happy memories there, buddy! Can we assume you ruled the roost as junior pizzaoila, or was it someone else?I don't think you could even come close these days. The best I've heard is the training kitchen in Ohio. And that's not for little kids.Sounds great though, wish it was possible!
It is an entirely different matter when you have 10,000 stores an they all need to put out the same pizza every time.
Well, I suppose you're right if there's no hard 'lil workers around such as the types I was talk'in 'bout...Our pies were as consistent as the day is long...
It's also an entirely different matter when you're unwilling to pay people more than minimum wage, which becomes the norm when small operations become large operations. People who know how to do sh!t don't work for minimum wage; they can find better work for better money.
It's not about hard work. It's about skill and consistency. They aren't the same.
I have to confess that I worked at Dominoes... for a full 15 minutes During those treasured moments, I definitely recall seeing a conveyor belt. I'd wager to say that a Dominoes Pizza never came in contact with stone. Maybe if I'd degraded myself for a few minutes longer, I'd know exactly how Dominoes pizza is made. I guess I'll have to live with that

Meet the world�s oldest lung cancer survivor, who eradicated the disease naturally�no drugs or treatment.
EDITORIAL DISCLAIMER: The editors of SpryLiving.com are sharing Dr. Carl Helvie's story for informational purposes�only and are not suggesting his method of treatment be a �substitute for medical advice or treatment for others who have been diagnosed with lung cancer. If you have been diagnosed with lung cancer, you should seek professional medical care and consult your physician before starting any sort of treatment regimen. This July, Dr. Carl Helvie, RN, DrPH., celebrated his 80th birthday. The occasion would be a landmark birthday for any individual, but for Dr. Helvie, who was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer forty years ago and given only 6 months to live, it was particularly poignant. Astoundingly, he eradicated the disease naturally�without surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or other mainstream interventions�and is alive today to share his remarkable story of faith and courage. When Dr. Helvie, a longtime smoker, was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1974, it was practically a death sentence. After weighing his treatment options, the health professional made a radical, seemingly inane decision: To eschew orthodox medical practices in favor of a holistic, all-natural approach to treatment. RELATED: The 7 Biggest Threats to Your Lung Health A nurse, Dr. Helvie had seen countless patients endure the rigors of cancer treatment. �I saw them go through surgery and radiation and chemotherapy, only to extend their lives for a few weeks or months,� Dr. Helvie explains. �And the misery that they went through in the process�the nausea, the vomiting, the hair loss.� Hoping to avoid the pain and debilitation associated with traditional cancer treatments�and figuring his prognosis was so bleak that he had nothing to lose�Dr. Helvie decided to tackle the disease with natural therapies. �I thought, �Why be debilitated for that 6 months if I can at least be pain-free and comfortable and then die?�� Dr. Helvie recalls. For the next few months, Dr. Helvie followed a strict diet regimen consisting of mainly raw fruits, vegetables and nuts. Additionally, he took 1000 mg daily of Vitamin B-17, popularly known as amygdaline or� �laetrile,� and a variety of other vitamins and supplements. [caption id="attachment_117439" align="aligncenter" width="240"] Dr. Carl Helvie is believed to be the world's oldest lung cancer survivor.[/caption] There may have been some method to Dr. Helvie�s madness: According to Kim Dalzell, PHD, RD, LD, nutrition and lung cancer are inextricably linked. �Poor dietary habits, in addition to tobacco use, are associated with an increased risk of lung cancer," she says. "And, those foods and dietary practices that prevent cancer actively fight it or fuel it. So it just makes sense for long-term health to quit smoking and take a serious look at what else you are putting into your mouth.� Aside from better nutritional practices, Dr. Helvie left no stone unturned in his quest for better health, utilizing a variety of physical, mental, spiritual and lifestyle treatment tactics. �Because there are multiple factors that lead up to any disease process, I decided that there must be multiple factors that are involved in the treatment of cancer,� he explains. A stalwartly faith-based man, Dr. Helvie also relied heavily on prayer and the support of friends and family. �I am a tremendously optimistic man, and my faith carried me through much of the process,� Dr. Helvie says. A life-long smoker, Dr. Helvie also worked to wean himself off nicotine�a rather difficult feat during an era when cigarettes were ubiquitous. �There weren�t a lot of known strategies for quitting smoking 39 years ago,� he notes. Dr. Helvie rigorously cleaned the walls of his house to eliminate the lingering aroma of nicotine. �I also gave up coffee, because I associated my morning coffee with smoking a cigarette.� Now, at age 80, Dr. Helvie, is healthy and cancer-free, making him the oldest-living lung cancer survivor. At age where most of his peers are grappling with chronic illness, Dr. Helvie�who continues to follow an all-natural, mostly raw diet�is the paradigm of good health. �I wake up every morning at 6:00 am and walk the beach for an hour,� Dr. Helvie says. In his new book You Can Beat Lung Cancer: Using Alternative/Integrative Interventions, Dr. Helvie details his insightful journey through the terrors of a diagnosis of lung cancer. A staunch advocate for alternative and integrative therapies as a solution for lung cancer, he also hopes to encourage and inspire other cancer victims throughout their experiences. �That�s why I�m still here,�� Dr. Helvie says. �To now offer help and encouragement to others faced with the same diagnoses.�� Brought to you by: Spry Living

I've touched on the topic before of cancellations in this blog, but the reality is that there are cancellations…and there are cancellations, and you as a passenger may or may not be victim of one directly…or indirectly.
As an example, I recently had to cancel the first leg of the day at an outstation. In this case, it had been raining fairly hard all night, and when we got to the airplane, it was raining in the cabin almost as much as it was outside; one of the antennas had a bad seal that was allowing water to get past. It isn't as big of a deal as it sounds, but we could not operate a revenue flight. We needed to get the airplane to a hangar (or an airport where it wasn't raining) so that it could be resealed, then time allowed for the seal to cure.
From the airline's point of view, the problems were just beginning. This was a city that has several flights a day, but they all have a very high load factor. Rebooking was going to be tough. Some passengers would be forced to drive, others would have to simply cancel their trip, especially if they were on a time-sensitive schedule (meetings, certain international connections, et cetera).
And then there was the issue of the effect on the schedule. Taking the airplane out of the rotation for the day meant that the potential for the down-line schedule to be hit was high. There would be a domino effect on every flight scheduled on this particular ship. We could end up running hours late all day, as has happened to me in the past. They might be late, or they might cancel. Fortunately, our leg was a short one, so at least we as a crew would be back in position fairly easily, and the repair we needed would take less than a full day in getting the bird back on line. Finding this squawk so early in the day made it more likely that a spare airplane would be available to cover the flying scheduled for the affected ship.
But it doesn't always work that way. Often, a broken airplane will lead to a series of cancellations, either because there is no aircraft to pick up the slack, or because the crew will be out of position or time out. At times the result is obvious to see (it was scheduled to fly all of "these" flights, so we'll cancel them), and at other times, it isn't so obvious as the company will then strategically cancel flights based on a number of factors: loads, connections, scheduled maintenance, crew availability or even flights the next day.
But, the first flight cancelling in the morning always has the potential to cause major headaches that carry through the day. Ironically, it makes it easier to get the crew back on schedule at some point, but if the airplanes aren't available to cover the flying, things get ugly…fast.
Lucky for me, on the day in question we stayed on schedule, and the only flight affected was the first one…but that didn't help the passengers who were left behind.—Chip Wright

Self-Awareness for Kids and Grownups
By Drs. Rick and Jan Hanson
Sometimes I'm with my kids (or driving in traffic or talking to my husband or...) and suddenly I'll start feeling angry or frustrated or sad -- and I don't understand where that came from. Other times, our preschooler will just start lashing out but he can't say what's bothering him. Any ideas?
Great question! You're talking about self-awareness, which is one of the five essential inner skills (the others are letting go of painful experiences, insight into oneself, taking in positive experiences, and choosing well).
Although these inner skills get much less attention than the outer ones - like long division, writing business letters, or driving a fork lift - they make a much bigger difference in a person's lifetime happiness, income, and contribution to others. So it pays to help children get good at them...and to get good at them ourselves. This is a profoundly important idea for every family.
For example, a toddler who can notice early on that she's getting frustrated and go to her mom for comfort is going to be happier (and easier to raise) than one who builds up tension and anger to the point that it explodes and overwhelms her. Similarly, a parent who can sense the softer feelings of being let down beneath the surface of anger is going to be a lot more effective in communicating with his or her partner.
Everybody's self-aware, to some degree -- and here are some ways to get even better at it.

Thor is a fictional superhero that appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character, based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name, is the Asgardian god of thunder and possesses the enchanted hammer Mjolnir, which grants him the ability of flight and weather manipulation amongst his other superhuman attributes.
These are portraits of the forgotten idols, the pieces of the past meant to preserve the highest order of our human ideals. As we move stubbornly forward in time and generations pass on, we see our crowned achievements of art and culture as dust. The rate of decay is governed only by the constitution of the material, be it flesh or marble. These paintings are about interpreting the fragility of our idols and examining them from a humanist perspective. In the end, entropy prevails and only by finding beauty in decay and re-interpreting it do we carry on the indomitable human spirit of progress and artistic pursuit of beauty.
Bradley Platz' intricate oil paintings deal with the alternating nature of worship in the modern age. Using classical symbolic imagery from old world traditions and transposing subtle hints of modernity, his work might best be described as tarnished elegance. Ever present also are certain whimsical and subtle symbols that carry the viewer through his body of work as a reader through a story, or a craft on the sea.
Bradley Platz' traditional oil paintings address the increasingly complex issues of permanence in the modern age. With a nod to the classical subject manner, the marble statues represent a timeless, yet forgotten beauty—a silent reminder of our mortality and the passing of time. The environments that these stolid statues inhabit range from the empty softness of raw linen and atmospheric perspective, to recent work depicting the over-development and deconstruction of place—and space—on the edge of continent and future.

Post 9-11 Terror Hysteria: Social Work Practice and The US Patriot Act
It was only weeks after the planes crashed into the twin towers on that bright, sunlit morning of September 11th, 200l, that it became apparent that the most important challenge now facing American democracy was how well would we strike a balance between liberty and security. This paper will look at the history of civil liberties in light of threats to national security. It will examine components of the US Patriot Act, how these provisions are being applied and the potential implication of the act on social work education and practice. Suggestions of how social work might respond to these new realities will be discussed.

Serverbuddy Memory Limit Check: Pay Attention To Local Value
#1 Guest_OldGrumpy_*
Posted 21 April 2012 - 10:19 PM
I only recently learnt about BackupBuddy and was curious about its memory requirements (as with many shared hosters, memory is often the main problem). So I came to install ServerBuddy and noticed one thing it its output that needs some polishing: The display of the php memory limit setting.
I am maintaining a set of WordPress installs at a shared hoster that configures everything quite tightly: While the master value for the php memory limit is set to 256M, the local value is set to 50M. And that is where ServerBuddy isn't as clear as it should be: It only honors the master value (256M), but the actual limit enforced by the local php.ini setting is 50M. I guess it would be a good idea to pay attention to both settings.
Best regards,

I think what you may be seeing here is the effect of WordPress itself "upping" the memory limit value.
The value shown in ServerBuddy is taken from the value provided by the PHP ini_get() function for the configurable parameter memory_limit which represents the _current_ value of the memory_limit configurable parameter at the time the function is called.
If you click on the button below the information panel for calling up the phpinfo() information it will refresh the page with the output of that function call and if you look for the "Core" value section you will see the memory_limit values from the configuration file and from the current value of the parameter - so you will likely see the 50M that you expect and the 256M that WordPress has "upped" the value to "locally". So ServerBuddy is correctly showing what WordPress is reporting as the memory limit that it has set for itself through using the ini_set() function for memory_limit. Of course this is just a limit and doesn't mean that that amount of memory is allocated or will even be used (and in many cases the server may ignore that limit anyway and stick to some predefined limit that it knows about).
Actual setting of the "memory_limit" is controlled by a number of things within WordPress itself and then plugins or themes can override as well.
WordPress itself has a setting for the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT that is defined as follows:
// set memory limits
if ( !defined('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT') ) {
if( is_multisite() ) {
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
} else {
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '32M');
and this is subsequently used
// set memory limits.
if ( function_exists('memory_get_usage') && ( (int) @ini_get('memory_limit') < abs(intval(WP_MEMORY_LIMIT)) ) )
@ini_set('memory_limit', WP_MEMORY_LIMIT);
so you can see that WordPress says it needs a minimum of 32M for a standalone site and if your memory_limit as set in a php.ini were lower than this then it would try and set memory_limit to be 32M. Of course in your case you mention it is 50M so this particular statement will not change the memory_limit value as it is already > 32M
Now this is the bit that causes the behaviour that you are seeing from WordPress on your site:
if ( ! defined( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT' ) ) {
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
so WordPress is saying that if there isn't a definition for WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT already set then it is going to set it to 256M. Then in the admin access bootstrap section you will find the statement:
if ( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) )
@ini_set( 'memory_limit', apply_filters( 'admin_memory_limit', WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT ) );
where you can see that if the user logging in has sufficient privileges then WordPress will attempt to set the local value of the memory_limit parameter to WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT (which by default is 256M) after running it through a filter which may change the value. If there is no such filter defined (which by default I do not believe there is) then the apply_filter() function will simply return the value (256M in this case) and so memory_limit gets set to 256M. Of course as mentioned before this doesn't mean that memory is being allocated by default or will even be used and the server may override it anyway.
Note that this only applies in access to admin and only for users with the appropriate privilege as shown.
If you want to restrict this to be a lower value then you can put a statement in your wp-config.php such as:
define('WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '50M');
and then this value would be used whenever that statement above is executed.
Of course if anything on your site does define an admin_memory_limit filter then that may have an influence as well.
I hope this information can help in enabling you to understand how WordPress manages the memory_limit configurable parameter and how you can adjust your site configuration to better represent the behaviour that you want, thanks.

thanks for shedding some light on this. Actually, I was talking about the output of the phpinfo() statement. It displays two columns, one labeled "local value" and one labeled "master value". For the memory limit, phpinfo() shows this:
memory_limit 256M 50M
Where the first value is the "local value" and the second one is the "master value". The WordPress plugin "WP Overview (lite)" shows the 50M as the relevant memory limit (and I receive the expected error when WordPress tries to allocate more than those 50M, so it is indeed the relevant limit here). That is why I think it would be great if ServerBuddy doesn't just display the first value because it makes the user think "oh I have 256M, that is plenty" while he actually only has 50M and, later on, potentially problems during memory-intensive tasks due to that. What do you think? Consider less tech-savvy clients, not me
It's not so much about me wanting a certain behaviour for a particular site, it's more about getting reliable (and relevant!) information I'm looking forward to read about your opinion on this.
Best regards,
Posted 24 April 2012 - 12:23 PM
Well I suppose it can be argued either way - ServerBuddy is showing the information that PHP gives it which is based on the value that the WordPress application sets, so it is showing the operational environment that the WordPress application has (reportedly) established. Showing the general initialization file value just shows the generic value that isn't necessarily specific to WordPress. For example, if the general value were 128M but a plugin or theme unilaterally constrained the value lower then you wouldn't be seeing the operational environment for the WordPress application but general value for any PHP application (unless there is a discrimination to show the single lowest value). ServerBuddy allows both to be viewed through the provision of the phpinfo() function call to show additional detail so it covers both bases.
Whether or not PHP might be returning a value that will not be honoured is a different matter and I suppose would be better addressed to the PHP authors. Similarly, if the WordPress application is setting a value that it doesn't verify as being valid then again probably an issue for the WordPress authors. I guess that is why they provide the WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT parameter that can be set and/or the filter that can be defined to manage the memory limit value setting.
I believe that in some server environments the memory limit value that may be set in an initialization file applies to the sum of all simultaneous application usages for the specific hosting account - in that case you wouldn't necessarily be wanting to show the configuration file value but instead a value that is constrained by a setting of WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT or a filter implementation as it might be preferable to constrain the memory that an individual site from a collection of sites could possible try and allocate from the available pie.
So the definition of what may be reliable and/or relevant is really open to discussion and I'm sure there would be different opinions on this ;-) Having multiple sources of information - whether it be from within the same tool (such as ServerBuddy) or using multiple tools (such as a plugin like you mention and other tools) - is of course helpful in this respect.

Grandpa Wise sat on the back porch and, through the smoke of his cigarette, watched rain splash whitely against leaves of corn. The cornfield surrounded the house where he and Grandma lived. He was in his eighties.
I have a friend, also in his eighties, who is widely read enough to put many professors to shame. He has entertained himself royally over the decades and is, in fact, one of the brightest people I know. He claims never to be bored and I believe him. Somehow, though, I cannot picture this man staring minutes on end at rain splashing against corn leaves.
My own inclination leads me more in his bookish direction than in that of my mother's father, which means I find myself reading at odd times throughout the day, though whether the quest is more is for entertainment or enlightenment is hard to say. Rarely do I stop and stare, so many are the diversions.
Something is missing, and that something I observed a long time ago in an old man who likely never read ten books. It is the ability to go deep into one's very being, and there find a place where the siren-call of diversion is not to be heard.
After Grandpa and Grandma died, their house was bulldozed, yet what I witnessed there is part of my enduring present. It is a place where the rain is always white, the smoke always blue, and where an old cattle trader of few words allows himself the luxury of meditating, never dreaming his grandson is absorbing every moment.
Cigarettes kill. Sitting too near a downpour may prove harmful as well, but for a kid looking on, an old man saying nothing in the smoke and rain of sixty years ago was (is) pure enchantment, the kind found only in a few passages of the best books.

CGU Africana Studies Program Annual Lecture (Please click here to see this event flyer)
Title: "Stubborn Roots: Race, Culture, and Inequality in U.S. & South African Schools"
Speaker: Professor Prudence L. Carter, Stanford University
Date and Time: April 9, 2013, 7:30pm
Location: Albrecht Auditorium in Stauffer Hall, Claremont Graduate University
Abstract of book and talk:
What are the features of the school environment that make students' of color incorporation greater at some schools than at others? Prudence L. Carter seeks to answer this basic but bedeviling question through a rich comparative analysis of the organizational and group dynamics in eight schools located within four cities in the United States and South Africa-two nations rebounding from centuries of overt practices of racial and social inequality. Stubborn Roots provides insight into how school communities can better incorporate previously disadvantaged groups and engender equity by addressing socio-cultural contexts and promoting "cultural flexibility." It also raises important and timely questions about the social, political, and philosophical purposes of multiracial schooling that have been greatly ignored by many, and cautions against narrow approaches to education that merely focus on test-scores and resources.

Secretary Clinton travels to the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) for a meeting of the Libya Contact Group on June 9. This meeting will build on the last Contact Group meeting held in Rome and will allow the United States to discuss with its international partners the range of issues with respect to addressing the situation in Libya, including the ongoing implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1970 and 1973.
Secretary Clinton will then travel to Lusaka, Zambia, on June 10 for the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) Ministerial Forum, where she will showcase this centerpiece of our trade policy with Africa and engage with government, private sector, and civil society representatives from 37 different countries. While in Zambia, she will also meet with Zambian President Rupiah Banda as well as participate in events to highlight U.S. Government initiatives to improve the lives of the Zambian people.
From there, Secretary Clinton will travel to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to meet with Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete and Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. In Tanzania, she will highlight our successful bilateral engagement including a host of programs including Feed the Future (FTF). In Ethiopia, Secretary Clinton will focus on regional issues, visiting the African Union (AU) headquarters and meeting with AU Chairperson Jean Ping, in addition to bilateral meetings. She will also meet with civil society to draw attention to their innovative and enterprising work.

This trip is very important. Hopefully, the Secretary can persuade the African Union to more conducive toward working with the U.S. and its allies.

Strategically, we need the AU as more of an allie. If not, this relationship will create more problems than just what has transpired in the Libyan situation.

Hope there would be more further steps and actions to help stopping the ruins of war between Sudenese northern and southern people during this trip Maddam Secretary.
Carrie in California writes:
Looks like the AU is openly pushing for Gaddafi to leave. From my perspective when Zuma met with Gaddafi, Zuma did not really want to put pressure on Gaddafi. This is understandable since the AU is real close to Gaddafi, but this is counterproductive toward U.S. goal for Gaddafi to leave. AU could have possibly used sanctions or some other tools to put pressure on Gaddafi. I kind of understand why Clinton used Public Diplomacy (called out South Africa on rape/sexual assault issues. Maybe she can get Johnny Carson to set up a task force with an agenda toward building a better relationship with the AU. Because if the AU is not supportive of U.S. foreign policy in Africa, it will become harder for the U.S. to get certain things done.
Carla in Spain writes:
@ James, your point sounds good. From there as far as taking the recommendations from the task force, the Secretary of State can set up steering commitee consisting of the following: Deputy Secretary of State (President and Facilitator), Johnny Carson, and other major and regional leaders of the Department of State to see if the recommendations are feasable are not. Then once a final solution has come forward, then the Deputy Secretary can bring the final solution to the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State having the support from the president would then have the final say on the solution.

Dear Friends we think that the vision of the non elected Libyan Temporal NTC for the "road map" which unfortunately you appear supporting it without any reservation as it appears in the final statement of Aboudaby meeting of the Contact Group for the Libyan issue is done without any consultations with the other parties and do n't meet the minimum standreds of democracy.
We hope this is not your final position and decision regarding this road map specially after the critics of your strong partner the British Foreign Minister.
Thank you for your understanding and support to the libyan cause

@ Idris B. In Tunisia,
Thanks for raising the issue of legitimacy with regards to transition, it's one; as a US citizen; that seems essential to getting right in order to build the peace from "scratch"; or from conflict; in order to get a population just to the point of (in comparision where all you good folks in Tunisia are); Transitioning to new democratic leadership in a peaceful, orderly manner.
So why invest in the NTC? Same reason ( and the US dept of State may feel free to correct me), that we've invested in your democratic process in Tunisia.
The people are of good character and intent.
a) I don't believe any one individual among the members of the NTC wish to run for elected office in any permanently established democratic system.
B) Someone has to help organize the Lybian people, and that's best done by Lybians themselves, so I think we're giving them a chance to to put the money where their word has been given.
Since Ghaddafi now has an officially tattooed bull's eye between his eyes as a legitimate NATO "command and control target", and "his days are numbered".
In a democracy, the leadership is given all the rope it needs to hang itself with by the people who hold the buisiness end of it.
In your country's case, the people simply tightened the noose and invited your leasder to step aside, which he in my opinion wisely did.
Ghaddafi on the other hand has hung himself with his own words; giving the orders to wage war on his people.
Let me ask you this,...what would support look like to you from the US, helping your people deal with these circumstances?
Rusults do matter.
Thus the aid is performance based.
Best regards,
