A couple whose shop was burned down in the London riots are celebrating its reopening after a "nightmare" fight for compensation.
Ravi and Amrit Khurmy could only look on as their Ealing convenience store went up in flames when looters broke in and set it alight.
More than a year and a half later, after a lengthy fight for compensation, the family is back in business.
"It's been an emotional struggle, very difficult," said Mr Khurmy, 41. "The last 18 months has been a roller coaster, lots of ups and downs, a nightmare. It is a huge relief we can put that behind us now. We are finally getting our lives back on track."
When the couple's store, Ealing Green Local supermarket, was destroyed during the rioting on August 8, 2011, they also lost their livelihood.
Mr Khurmy had given up his job as a photocopying engineer and his wife stopped working for an airline at Heathrow so they could set up their first business.
Having survived the recession, Mr Khurmy said their business had finally begun to take off just before the rioters and looters set it alight.
The couple, who have two daughters, Sukiran, 17, and Simran, 13, received £200,000 under the Riot Damages Act but the total loss they suffered is estimated to be about £400,0000.
However, as the couple insured their business as a newsagents instead of a convenience store, their insurance company refused to pay the cost of loss of earnings, estimated to be about £160,000.
As part of their battle, they took their plight to Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg last year and it led to the Labour leader raising the matter in the Commons.
"We are still fighting to get that money back," said Mr Khurmy. "Eighteen months is a long time to go without an income. But we are extremely excited to reopen our business and we have had a very positive response from our customers who are really pleased to have us back."
The couple reopened the Spar shop on Friday. Mrs Khurmy, 38, added: "We've had so many setbacks. We've looked forward and then gone back two steps. But now it's coming along, we are really excited. It's really nice to see light at the end of the tunnel."

After the rain Rio is hot and sunny and it is time to do the major sights. It is Carnival weekend so the city is packed.
Lucky there is no cloud on Corvodao so the statue is visible. In June it was cloudy. A bit misty so no postcard standard pictures.
Saturday it is off to the beaches but they were absolutely packed wall to wall bodies. Impossible to see the sand or the water. So we sat in the shade and drank cold beer. Pretty much like everyone else.
In the evening the locals of Catete had their block party and there was samba in the streets with everyone wearing some kind of Carnival costume.
Sunday it is off to the Sambadrome for the samba schools parades. Each school had about 4000 people on parade, all ages take part, you cannot tell what is under that costume. They must have been so hot.
The post parade wreckage had to be seen most of it is thrown away! But what do you do with a carnival costume? You really can't keep them. I think they recycle the feathers.
The parade goes on all night.
Last day in Rio and it is time to pack, take a last quick look at the city and then the final trip up the Sugar Loaf for sunset and watch Rio light up.
God rested on the seventh day but secretly he made Rio.....or so they say.

Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] NFL Sunday Ticket Issues
I've seen Kyle Williams tackled twice on the opening kickoff, and I've seen a portion of the starting lineups announced twice, thanks to stuttering. Also saw Manningham's catch twice. And the graphics look worse than an Atari 2600 game.
And then I saw No. 21's punt return for a TD twice pending a flag.
I'm calling Sony. This is craptactular.

In what state are you located?
plus I have done everything in your help topic to no avail. Speed tests sit at 9mpbs download. Netflix,Hulu, etc all work flawlessly.
Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] NFL Sunday Ticket Issues
Just called Sony and gave an earful.
I wanted a cancellation of the service. They said they couldn't guarantee it. I said they'll give it to me and give it back to my credit card (not a PS Wallet thing) or I'll call the BBB. I'm to hear a resolution in 7-10 days they said.
This is terrible. Sony and DTV, I don't care WHO is to blame, but both should be ashamed for putting out a crappy product.

In this fast-moving age, is it not rather civilised to be given almost nine years' notice of a change? But perhaps this is how long it will take to wean us off a habit grown up over 350 years. The cheque, it seems, is to be phased out in 2018.
Banks – showing their softer side – have wooed us over the years with degrees of personalisation, with landscapes and flowers printed on to our payment orders and with automated dispatch, so that we either have a drawer full of cheque books or none at all. Even so, the cheque's genteel demise is already well advanced. Today's spenders flash their plastic as nonchalantly as they once wrote out a cheque, and pay the rest of their bills electronically. Serious fraudsters switched their allegiance long ago.
Indeed, the cheque might not have survived this far, had it not been for lotteries and the Pools. A bank transfer is no substitute for seeing real numbers inscribed on a giant cheque. Starting now, they have nine years to find an alternative.

for this price this is very nice!
By shopper
from vancouver, B.C.
I don't know what people are griping about these gloves are comfortable and relatively warm (maybe not warm enough for the East Coast) but the scarf and gloves are very nice...nothing wrong with them!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love this set !!
By psychic
from Gloucester
This set feels like cashmere..very soft. The gloves are stretchy and fit well, and the scarf is very chic and warm. The scarf is long enough to go around my neck as a wrap which is how I prefer to wear it. The butterscotch coloured underside and double thickness make me feel 'dressed up' even when I'm rushing out the door.

Loved the scarf
By Teresa the accountant
from Lethbridge, AB
Loved the scarf but not the gloves. The gloves were too large and didn't fit like gloves should.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good scarf, but gloves not so much
By Irene_PhD
from Winnipeg
Love David Sigal's line. The scarf here is lovely and cashmere-like softness, but my gloves ripped within minutes of putting them on. I was devastated, because I wanted this as a 'set.' The thumb on both right and left, is not positioned quite right. However, the fact that it ripped immediately, makes me feel that not enough care was put into the design and the knitting process. Because it is such a bother to walk the distance I need to walk to return this via Canada Post, I will keep it. However, I need to figure out how best to repair these gloves. Any suggestions? So very disappointed...

Health information easy to access for everyone, including the elderly
Having your health information at your finger tips in today's world is now possible — and the technology to access it is senior citizen-friendly, according to hospital officials and one 81-year-old Brainerd man.
Dick Tull, who is a patient of Dr. Mark Gray, a family medicine physician at Essentia Health St.Joseph'-Brainerd Clinic, said he is not good on computers, but Essentia Health's patient portal for electronic health record, titled MyHealth, is easy and helpful.
"If I can do it anyone my age can," said Tull. "It's pretty easy. I'm not the greatest at this technology stuff, but this new program works very well for me. It's like the second thing I can do on the computer."
All Essentia Health patients in the Brainerd lakes area have access to their medical records through MyHealth. Patients just need to have a user name and a password, and access to the Internet.
Patients can sign up at their doctor's office, where they will receive an authorization form or they can log into www.Essentia.MyHealth.org and click "Request access now," to complete the online form.
Miranda Anderson, marketing and community relations at Essentia, said MyHealth puts the power of information in the patients' hands and actively engages them in their own health care. She said it provides patients with timely, electronic access to their health record.
"In an era of web portals and mobile applications, MyHealth is a market differentiator for Essentia Health with patients that use it expressing high degrees of satisfaction," said Anderson.
Patients can look on MyHealth for: Viewing test results and upcoming and past appointments; refilling prescriptions, which is not available yet; scheduling appointments; messaging securely with their health care providers; viewing a child's health record and print growth charts; reviewing and updating medications and allergies; and getting a chronic disease summary with reminders.
Tull said he looks at his medical records online "quite a bit," especially if he has an appointment coming up.
"I monitor my blood sugar/insulin online and if it hasn't been the greatest, I go back a couple years to look at my blood work," said Tull. "It's good to know where it's at so I know if I have to make up excuses or not (to Dr. Gray.)"
Gray said patients who take advantage of MyHealth feel more engaged in their care.
"I have patients who look at their test results before I look at their results," said Gray. "They are interested and concerned about it. The first thing patients want to know, (whether they have access to MyHealth or no) is their test results."
Gray said additional tests also are reported on MyHealth, such as radiology procedures or pathology results, but they may not be immediately reported.
"Some tests are delayed for a few days to give providers time to review it," said Gray.
Gray has 666 patients who use MyHealth which is approximately 36 percent of his patients. Essentia Health Clinics in the Brainerd lakes area have 13,466 patients who have signed-up to use MyHealth, or 27 percent of our patients who have a primary care physician or advance practice clinician with Essentia.
Gray said in a given 90-day period, about 8-9 percent of his patients will message him through MyHealth. Gray said patients can message photographs, such as a rash to help physicians determine how serious the medical condition would be and to offer any advice until their appointment.
Messaging is convenient for both the doctor and the patient, said Gray. Doctors wouldn't have to interrupt a family's dinner, for instance, and can message in-between their patient visits.
As for being convenient for senior citizens, Anderson said MyHealth is easy for patients of all ages to use. MyHealth is an easy program that makes it easy for patients in getting information, making an appointment and looking up test results and other health records.
Anderson said another advantage is that there are a lot of snow birds in the lakes area and no matter where the senior citizen is located — they will always have the Internet access to MyHealth.
"Having access to your medical records at all times is a nice peace of mind," said Anderson. "It shows your updated medication list so when you travel you have it in case you need it."
Anderson said MyHealth is one more tool to help strengthen a doctor and patient relationship, as communication is always open. MyHealth is a free program that is available 24 hours, seven days a week.
Anderson said MyHealth is confidential and secure, so people do not have to worry about others getting into their account. Anderson said MyHealth is not for urgent medical issues.

MUSC Bulletin | General Information
South Carolina Area Health Education Consortium
The South Carolina Area Health Education Consortium (South Carolina AHEC) began in 1972 as one of the 11 originally funded projects of the federal AHEC program. The South Carolina AHEC functions as a cooperative effort of the Medical University of South Carolina, the University of South Carolina, USC-Greenville, Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine- Carolina Campus, South Carolina community teaching hospitals, and regional AHEC Centers. The AHEC System works closely with the state's institutions of higher education and other partners to educate, recruit, and retain healthcare providers.
The South Carolina AHEC provides for a continuum of education extending from primary and secondary school, to undergraduate and professional school, then to graduate medical education, and finally to continuing education for practicing healthcare professionals. Specifically, they maintain strong programs designed to: increase the number of young people who aspire to become healthcare professionals, emphasizing underrepresented ethnic minority and economically disadvantaged groups; facilitate clinical rotations for health professions students in rural and underserved communities; increase the physician workforce by sponsoring graduate medical education residency training programs; enhance clinical competence by providing educational programs for healthcare providers at or near their workplace; and increase the healthcare workforce by maintaining programs to recruit and retain primary care providers.
The South Carolina AHEC Program Office is located at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and reports to the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost.
The four AHEC Regional Centers provide programs and services to address the unique healthcare-related educational needs of each of the counties in South Carolina. Activities include developing and maintaining linkages with local healthcare agencies, providers, institutions, and organizations within each region.
The Regional Centers are located in Florence, Greenville, Lancaster and Walterboro. Each regional AHEC Center maintains a Health Careers Program designed to increase the number of young people who elect to pursue a health related profession. The program emphasizes the participation of underrepresented ethnic minority and disadvantaged students. Programmatic content employs individual advising, mentoring, job shadowing and parental involvement as major components.
Regional AHEC Centers also maintain a Health Professions Student Program to facilitate required community-based rotations for health professions students in the fields of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, and the allied health sciences. Each AHEC regional center employs student coordinators who assist with the identification of preceptors, procure student housing, schedule student rotations, orient students to the community, provide Internet connections, and assist students with their community health improvement projects. While in the community, students learn clinical skills in a "real world" setting from their preceptors, participate in community outreach activities such as visit the homes of patients, participate in projects targeting major health problems such as diabetes or high blood pressure, and initiate and participate in local community health assessments and wellness programs.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Programs are also maintained by each regional AHEC Center. These programs provide practicing healthcare professionals with affordable continuing education seminars, workshops, lectures, and telecasts in proximity to their workplace. Each of the four AHEC Centers employs CPD coordinators who work closely with hospital education departments, regional health professionals, associations and agencies, and educational institutions to assess, develop, and present continuing education programs to health professionals in their regions.
These educational offerings enhance the knowledge and skills of healthcare providers and emergency responders. Enhanced skills increase the quality of care provided resulting in the improvement of inpatient and outpatient healthcare delivery. Educational offerings allow healthcare providers to meet professional re-licensure and re-certification requirements and reduce professional isolation for providers in rural areas, thereby increasing retention.
In 2015, the South Carolina AHEC, in partnership with the MUSC Center for Telehealth, established the Office for Telehealth Education (OFTE), to expand the reach of continuing professional development programming beyond the walls of the state's academic medical centers and out into the communities in all areas of the state. The OFTE is charged with educating health professionals about the use and implementation of telehealth services, as well as to conduct educational programs via telehealth technology. In doing so, providers across the state can learn from leading experts in relevant content areas without having to travel across the state to participate.
In order to address the shortage and maldistribution of physicians in our state, the South Carolina AHEC sponsors the Statewide Family Medicine Residency Training Program. Family Medicine is the medical specialty which provides continuing and comprehensive healthcare for individuals and families. The family physician typically functions as the patient's means of entry into the healthcare system. The South Carolina Statewide Family Medicine Residency Training Programs are located in Anderson, Charleston, Columbia, Florence, Greenville, Greenwood, Seneca and Spartanburg. In addition, the South Carolina AHEC administers programs that place and retain quality healthcare professionals in the underserved areas of the state. The Rural Physician Program was initiated by the SC Legislature in 1989 to address the undersupply and maldistribution of physicians in rural and underserved South Carolina communities. The program provides incentive grants for primary care physicians and advanced practice professionals (nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, and physician assistants) who commit to practice in medically underserved communities for a minimum of three years. Once a practice becomes established, healthcare providers are much more likely to remain in areas of need.
The Rural Dentist Program was established by the South Carolina Legislature in July of 2005. This program assists with the repayment of educational loans of dentists who agree to practice in a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) or serve as full-time faculty at the MUSC College of Dental Medicine. The expectation is that during their commitment period these dentists will establish viable practices or academic careers in the College of Dental Medicine, become involved in their respective communities and remain after the four-year funding period is over. Priority for this program is given to those demonstrating financial need and expressing the intent to remain in an underserved area or in an area of critical faculty need in the MUSC College of Dental Medicine.
The Office for Healthcare Workforce Analysis and Planning (OHW) was created in 2008 with funding from The Duke Endowment, in response to the need for in-depth, current information about the healthcare workforce in South Carolina. Working in collaboration with the South Carolina Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office of Health and Demographics, and using information published by other state government agencies, the OHW evaluates the current supply of nurses, physicians, dentists, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals in South Carolina, as well as the demand for such professionals based on the needs of the population. This information is being used to assess personnel shortages and to build forecasting models of future supply and demand trends. All OHW research findings are published on-line and are readily available to legislators, educators, and other policy makers to inform discussions and decisions about the healthcare workforce.
The South Carolina AHEC continues to provide innovative services that support the state's healthcare workforce – connecting students to careers, professionals to communities and communities to better health.

"Beautiful card and I'm always impressed with the turn around time of Tiny Prints. So wonderful for a busy mother who is running behind on birthday planning"
"This was the perfect invite for my daughter's 11th birthday. She's too old now for the cutesy invites and she's not a frilly girl, so this was perfect. I'm very pleased with the quality."
"This invitation is beautiful! I wanted something special for our daughter's first birthday and I got exactly what I hoped for. Being that she was a preemie, this invite has special meaning for us and we couldn't be happier with this product! I highly recommend it!"

Johnnie To's latest opens as Chinese police arrive at a crime scene, portending his usual slice of bloody action. But despite the bursts of violence, the most intense scenes come as a result of a massive stock market upheaval that deeply affects the three protagonists and their parallel, sometimes awkwardly intertwining storylines. You might be surprised at who bends, breaks, or in some cases upholds morals in this dramatic comedy of human greed. The players include Teresa (Denise Ho), the worst-performing investment manager at her bank, who is left sitting on $5 million in cash when a loan shark is mugged and killed before he can complete a deposit; Panther (Ching Wan Lau), a low-level gangster who grovels for cash to bail out the black sheep of his mob family; and Cheung (Richie Ren), a police inspector forced to cater to his fiancée's demands for an apartment that's beyond their means. It's a dark tale for our times.

Howdy all! After a 2-3 week hiatus, I just wanted to let y'all know that I'm back! I've been all over the place for the past half month visiting my folks, moving my girlfriend to a new apartment, chilling a little before school starts back up, and now doing school again (plus the behavioral neuroscience research project I'm doing) and I just haven't had the time/energy to wade through the four or five fish boards that I was checking CONSTANTLY every day. I just needed a break. :cry:
But I'm back now! :D Break's over and I think I'm going to be able to start frequenting again. Problem is I have a TON of old posts to wade through and (hopefully) address on this board plus all my other fish boards and my drum corps boards. So be patient with me! It's good to be back, y'all. 8)
welcome back stat :D
Welcome back, as for the tons of old posts, just be selective.

text: Great game -- after the first inning. The home plate umpire was taking a lot of heat from both benches for a questionable strike zone that seemed to really rattle the Dodgers starter. Mattingly got tossed later in the game. I think he was pissed after an early call that allowed Hunter a double after a poor tag following a great throw from Puig. Puig is like Dave Parker or Roberto Clemente out there with his arm. The reverse call (which was clearly the right call) on Hunter's double was crucial because it allowed the Tigers to continue with a big inning where they collected eight hits. A few observations: Despite Verlander turning it around, he did not seem ready to pitch when he walked out there. This is from the Detroit Free Press story: Is how Verlander pitched after the first inning how he wants to pitch with those new mechanics? "Closer," he said. How will he know when he's there? "When I start not having to work at it," he said. "When it comes easy." Miggy had a triple, which is about as rare an occurrence as a lunar eclipse. What to do with Austin Jackson? He's not a leadoff hitter. He belongs at the bottom of the lineup.

Excellent post - and I ++'ed it some time ago. The main thing I liked (apart from the fact that you provided a fully functional demo) was the use of Devel::Size - which is a module that I had not installed (and was not really aware of).
I've since installed it, and it looks to be a module that I'll make use of in the future.

When your dad taught you how to shave with that razor he'd removed the blades from, he was hoping that you'd grow up to use a shaving cream like this. This classic softens and lifts beard hairs, while simultaneously soothing and moisturizing your skin. Add some Sandalwood aromatherapy to the mix, and you've got something that is pops-approved.
With my beard as tough as it is, this shaving cream works extremely well on softening and allowing for smooth, easy shave that allows for a reducing in the friction on my skin and allows me to have a better shaving experience. No one likes to have all the razor burn and bumps that can come from shaving.5

The Internet is the pulse engine of today's economy, requiring gear at billions of junctions interconnected by millions of miles of fiber cable and wireless technology.
It's continuously under construction, growing larger and more complex, with trillions of data "packets" — bursts of digital information — delivered daily.
Diverse companies hustle to develop and re-invent the equipment and programs needed to manage this massive flow of data.
Among the players at the head of that pack are Akamai Technologies (AKAM), F5 Networks (FFIV), Aruba Networks (ARUN) and Equinix (EQIX).
Along with the other 26 companies tracked in IBD's Internet-Network Solutions group, they provide the equipment, software and data services able to route information, e-commerce, streaming video, graphics, wireless services and more to millions of website addresses worldwide.
The Internet is set to get much larger. Vast amounts of traffic are poised to come online with the evolution of smart technologies connecting autos, homes, aircraft and other sources to the Web.
The Internet Of Things
Google (GOOG) has been investing heavily in just such connections. It recently bought its way into the "smart home" market, acquiring Nest Labs for $3.2 billion. Nest Labs makes thermostats that learn from, and adjust to, user settings. It also makes high-tech smoke detectors. The acquisition provided Google entry into the market for Web-connected household appliances.
"Google will help us fully realize our vision of the conscious home," Nest CEO Tony Fadell wrote in a blog post when the deal was announced.
Google has long been investing in smart technologies, including its development of Internet-connected, self-driving cars and the eye-catching Google Glass. All three business groups fit into an emerging field called "the Internet of things," which Cisco Systems (CSCO) recently deemed a fast-growing, multibillion-dollar market.
The Internet of things defines a concept in which any device that can benefit from an Internet connection should get one. It includes parking spaces, vending machines, irrigation systems, electrical grids, surveillance systems and health care devices.
Machine-to-machine communications are central to the concept. M2M devices share data via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth through a cellular network or with a direct connection to the Internet.
The Internet of things and M2M are not new. Some estimates put the number of devices already attached to computer networks at 2 billion. Others place the number much higher.
"It's an old business and a new business," said Godfrey Chua, analyst at Infonetics Research. "But now the networks are more widely deployed, the cost of connecting devices is coming down and it's widely supported by governments and business."
It's among the reasons the amount of data traversing the Internet is growing at exponential rates.
Akamai, F5, Aruba and the others are seen taking advantage of the trend. Their products and services are used to fine-tune the speed, efficiency and security of the Internet.
Fighting An Army Of Ants
Akamai delivers content and applications across a globally distributed network of servers. It handles more than 2 trillion requests per day from more than a billion users. Companies use its services to deliver Internet content quickly, in addition to live and on-demand streaming video. Users of its technology include Apple, FedEx, Home Depot and IBM. Public-sector customers include the Federal Aviation Administration, the U.S. Department of Defense and Department of Labor.
In 2013, Akamai revenue rose 15% to $1.58 billion.
In December, Akamai acquired Prolexic Technologies for $370 million. Prolexic provides cloud-based security solutions for protecting data centers from distribute denial-of-service attacks, an area to which Akamai is giving increased emphasis.
In a DDoS attack, the target is intentionally bombarded with information requests that overwhelm servers and cause them to malfunction. While businesses deploy various security technologies to prevent hackers from accessing sensitive data, a DDoS attack is not as easily prevented. It's like fighting an army of ants.
"Traditional security solutions are ineffective against DDoS attacks," said Robert Blumofe, executive vice president of the Akamai Platform Division. With the addition of Prolexic, Akamai fortified its arsenal of solutions.
"Our customers want the same level of performance everywhere around the world," said Blumofe. "The reliability of packet flow is extremely important, and they come to us for that performance."
The New Home: Mobile
Cisco estimates that global Internet traffic will increase at a compound annual rate of 23% from 2013 through 2017. Much of that growth is expected to come from mobile data traffic, which rose 81% in 2013.
The ever-growing need to protect and speed the delivery of applications and data across the Internet has a lot to do with demand created by smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. Among those playing an essential role in helping businesses deal with the increasing complexity managing this traffic is F5 Networks.
The goal of F5 Networks is to ensure the safe, fast and reliable delivery of Web applications and services across multiple data centers. F5 Networks is the biggest maker of application delivery controllers that optimize server workloads in corporate data centers and telecom networks. Its core technology is a highly scalable software platform called Traffic Management Operating System.
F5 designed its products and services to help companies manage the shift to virtualization and cloud computing, where software plays an increasingly important role in improving network efficiency at lower costs. Its products manage strategic points of control on Internet networks, inspecting, modifying and directing traffic for increased security and optimization.
Company revenue in 2013 rose 8% to $1.5 billion. Analysts expect a return to double-digit revenue growth for F5 this year as it moves deeper into the network security field.
The need for greater security is also strong in mobile, which is where Aruba Networks steps up to the plate.
400 Million New Smartphones
Aruba's core technology is Mobile Virtual Enterprise, which helps unify a company's mobile networks, including Wi-Fi systems. Its technology enables secure access to data, voice and video applications for enterprises, mobile professionals and remote workers, across wireless and wired networks.
The explosion of wireless use and the proliferation of smartphones are causing companies to radically change how they manage these devices.
The need for Aruba's technology stems partly from the growth of Wi-Fi networks and the bring-your-own-device trend that allows employees to carry whatever wireless device they prefer to use and still have full access, as they would to a wired network.
According to Cisco, the number of mobile devices and connections rose by 526 million units last year to 7 billion units worldwide. Smartphones accounted for 77% of that growth, a staggering 406 million additions.
For its fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, Aruba reported revenue of $600 million, up 16% from the same period a year ago. For the six-month period ended Jan. 31, revenue rose 13% to $337.3 million.
Another key player in the network infrastructure field, on the data management side, is Equinix. It builds and leases data centers to a swath of business segments, including Internet service providers, software-as-a-service providers, financial companies, content providers and companies deploying cloud computing systems.
"Cloud computing is creating massive disruption in the IT supply chain and will continue to do so at an accelerated pace, creating opportunities across all of our verticals," said Stephen Smith, Equinix president and CEO, in a conference call with analysts last month when the company reported Q4 results. Equinix has about 4,500 customers.
Demand for its service is also fueled by bandwidth-intensive services such as video, social media, mobile data and gaming. Customers include Amazon, AT&T, Microsoft, LinkedIn and Salesforce.com.
In 2013, Equinix reported revenue of $2.15 billion, up 14%.

Costello's view
Page Tools
Australian Treasurer Peter Costello gave implicit support today for the New Zealand Prime Minister's veto of pop star John Farnham performing at this year's Anzac service in Gallipoli.
Mr Costello said after bilateral talks in Wellington that the Australian rocker taking part in the Anzac Cove ceremony would not be consistent with the desired solemnity of the occasion.
But he suggested Farnham might be able to play some sort of role at commemoration events.
Prime Minister Helen Clark provoked a debate on both sides of the Tasman today by saying she did not want "loud entertainment" disrupting the dignity of the service.
"I don't think John Farnham appearing in the ceremony would be consistent with solemnity," Mr Costello told reporters.
"There is discussion about what happens around it, but I'm sure that the decisions that are made by the organisers are the right ones," he said.
"I don't give them entertainment advice."
Mr Costello rejected suggestions the issue represented a fight over the Anzac relationship between Australia and New Zealand, saying it was as strong as ever.

Sounds like someone is trolling...
Ever shot a Tactical with the match trigger or the LEM?
can anybody please explain what is wrong with hk's trigger that makes it incompetent for competition shooting>????? also what other factors make an hk a disadvantage in competition???
Sounds like someone is trolling...
Ever shot a Tactical with the match trigger or the LEM?
I've never felt an HK trigger that was even comparable to a good 1911 trigger. They also have long resets that slow down split times. All USP derivatives have very high bore axes which also increase splits.
These things make the HK pistols slower to shoot than some competing designs, and are the reasons you see few of them in shooting matches, at least once you get beyond the local level.
**Please delete if vids are inappropriate, it was meant to show some friends that controlled doubles are possible with HK USP.**
I'm not so sure about reset times. I shoot HK's, Kimbers, Glocks, Kahrs, FN5.7, and others and I've never had a problem with resets. I think it has alot to do with familiarity and lots and lots of practice. All rounds were in the size of a paper plate. I don't have any vid of this pistol with the target in view, but I'll post one of my Kimber Raptor with target if people don't believe it. Good doubles are achievable with HK's with practice, but I guess that can be said about any gun.
The trigger on the HK really wasn't designed for competition by any means. It's much stiffer on purpose, so when you breath on it, it doesn't go off. It takes a very deliberate action, as a defensive pistol should in my opinion.
I will completely agree that my 1911's are far superior to any of my 'plastic' guns, but I shoot the HK well. I posted a 10.6 seconds on a drill they called "El Presidente". Not sure if that's a standard drill, but it involves back to target, buzzer, face targets (3), 2 on target one, 2 on target two, 2 on target three, reload, same thing back across the three targets. It just takes getting used to whatever weapon you are using.
"Par time" for El Prez is 10 seconds. Very good shooters with race guns can do it around 4-5 seconds. What are your times like when shooting a 1911 or a Glock in the same drill? What are your split times with the HK versus a 1911 or Glock?
Not saying the HKs can't be shot well. It's just easier with some other designs, which is why you don't see many HKs in competition.
Hell, I ain't that good!!!
I've only ever shot it with the HK and Beretta 92FS. Did better with the HK. I'll try it with the 1911's. Here I was thinking I did pretty good. Most the guys I've shot with can't get under 14 seconds.
I'll have to talk the range master into starting that up again. Some guy that we had not shot with alot put a round into the floor and one into the ceiling. Kinda put a dampner on our "fun night" at the range.
And no one ever shot the floor.
@ Mike,
Being you seem up on this stuff... Do you think the doubles could be faster with the HK? I'm not sure I could get them any closer, or should I focus more on transition from target to target?
I really thought I'd worked that gun over enough times to be resetting that trigger right off the sear and firing again. Being HK triggers aren't really the best is one thing, but I can't use my Glock in 3-gun matches as it's ported and I want to stay in the Tactical category. I suppose I could us my Kimber... anyways.. any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
Purely as a guess, I'd say your splits are in the .15-.20 range, which is very good. If your hits are on a normal paper plate at seven yards, you're doing pretty well. If you can get them down to the size of your palm, you're doing great.
The key with El Prez is smoothness from target to target. You can tell when someone is shooting El Prez right when you hear BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM. What you shouldn't hear is BOOM-BOOM-pause-BOOM-BOOM-pause-BOOM-BOOM.
Basically, you should be moving between targets as you recover from the recoil, rather than letting the front sight settle back down before moving to the next target.
A good El Prez also requires a very fluid pivot, draw and a quick (well under 1.5 seconds shot-to-shot) reload.
Try some Bill Drills to smooth up your multiple shot recovery. This is six shots from the holster as fast as you can, making all A hits or the run doesn't count.
I've heard that HK makes a mean .45....personally I cant shoot a .45 like the guy in that video, I haven't tried one from HK yet though. Is it his skill level or have they done something that makes it easily controllable? As for the triggers....I never really noticed the long pull/reset until i started shooting other guns frequently, is there a way to lessen the trigger play?
I see mention of bore axis, perhaps most frequently from Mike, but have never seen actual measurements. Even more important would be comparisons between guns of equal caliber and equivalent barrel length. I'd love to see that one but never have. Please point me to it if anyone has.
@ wiseguy
I've been shooting for about 26 years. Shooting is something I do alot of, as it is cheaper than a psychologist. (hehe)
It did take a while to get used to the trigger on the HK, but I can hit a paper plate sized target at 7-10 yards with probably 90% accuracy when shooting that fast. I haven't done any trigger work on the HK, nor do I think it would help much as the transfer bar on the HK is long and thick. I wouldn't want to mess with it too much. I'd say that grip and stance have more to do with being able to control the pistol at those speeds. I'll attach a vid of my Kimber Raptor 45 doing doubles as well. It doesn't have the same barrel length, it's an inch shorter, but still, it's a good shooter, mainly because I practice with it alot! People often talk about which gun is better than this or that gun, but honestly, I have a plethora of different guns and I shoot them all pretty much the same. I think it has more to do with finding a gun you like enough to shoot alot and get good with it, but that's just my opinion. Personally, I just like the challenge of being able to take a piece of machinery (gun) and make it do what I want it to do. Enjoy and shoot safe.
Movies, movies,.......................we want more movies!!!!
Ohhh I've got a few movies tucked away somewhere. If there's an interest for it, perhaps a thread of vids of shooting. A show off section or something. Nothing dangerous of course, nothing illegal, all that jaz.
I dunno, I'm kinda new here so, you guys tell me. But I love to watch people enjoying their sport, especially when it's shooting.
They might fit in the Shooter's Corner. Nothing but videos and stills. Doesn't necessarily have to be for only competition stuff. Whudda' 'ya think?
I recently won 1st CDP SS at the Badlands IDPA in Tulsa, OK.
I did it with a bone stock HK USP .45.
Sometimes it is not the gun, but just a whole lot of luck!
I do admit though, it might have been faster with a 1911, but mine was on the fritz.
If it feels right to you, go with the HK
I shoot a HK P7 in matches - the longer reset does take some getting use to when coming from a 1911....But a pair time of El Prez with a HK - can be done.

Couple ways to tell if its a Dave Koorey body. The back window will have kind of rounded bottom corners which isn't exactly correct. You will have an indent for the gas cap in the lower driver's side rear. It will also have door hinges with three philips screws that hold the hinges to the doors. If your body has all these then there is a good chance it was made by the same guy. Eight grand for a body/chassis combo with a couple spare engines probably isn't too bad in today's dollars. Like I said before I paid $3600 over 15 years ago.
Just went back through my paperwork and his 3 window has a 3 1/2" chop. He also made a 2 door, roadster, and a 33/34 coupe. His early stuff (pre '95) was better quality than his later stuff. After his shop burned he tried to start it up again but just couldn't make a go of it. I've heard he's still making bodies and selling them on e-bay but have no first hand knowledge that this is correct.
When I took delivery of mine it came with two driver's side interior window moldings. I called him and told him I needed to exchange one for a passenger's side. I had to go to Tampa on a business trip so I stopped by his shop to exchange it and he gave me a personal tour. That was back in the very early 90's. It was a decent operation at the time and he had about 10 employees laying glass etc. For the price what he was selling was pretty good quality. Not like Wescott or Gibons, but still a good bang for the buck.

Nissan has been named one of the world's greenest brands for 2013 in Interbrand's third annual Best Global Green Brands report.
Noted for its leadership in zero emissions mobility with its Leaf 100 per cent electric vehicle, Nissan is ranked fifth overall out of the 50 brands selected, moving up 16 positions from its showing last year.
The Interbrand report ranks brands based on a company's environmental practices and customers' perceptions.
Automotive brands took four of the top five positions.
Cited in this year's report was the Nissan Leaf 100 per cent electric vehicle's positive effect on perceptions of the brand, and an array of eco-friendly actions such as plans to cut vehicle weight by 15 per cent starting in 2017, and Nissan's collaboration with Daimler and Ford in the development of fuel-cell cars to be launched by 2017.
Nissan aims to contribute to the sustainable development of mobility and society while seeking profitable growth.
One of the key pillars of its corporate and environmental strategies is to maintain its leadership in electric vehicles.
With more than 65,000 100 per cent electric Leafs sold as of last month, it's the best-selling EV.
Nissan sees its recognition as a top global green brand as another step forward in its bid to reduce its environmental impact and promote its corporate activities and innovative products to consumers.

New Leadership At The Reins At Poplar Public Schools
Written by Devon Boen
There are several new faces roaming the halls of Poplar Schools this year, and they don't all belong to students.
The district has hired Rayna Hartz as the Poplar High School principal with Kent Hoffman and Brant Flath sharing the responsibilities of assistant principal. Flath is also acting as the fifth- through eighth-grade middle school principal.
All three come from diverse backgrounds and note the culture of Poplar as a main reason for seeking employment in the area.
Hartz has divided her time between Wolf Point and Alaska ever since she was a young child. Her mother is an Alaskan native and, although she considers the state her true home, she said she enjoys the area here and plans to stay long-term.
Hartz was an English teacher as well as a K-12 principal all over Alaska and that background has made her more than prepared to fulfill the duties of her position at Poplar and create an idealistic learning environment.
When asked about what such a learning environment would entail, Hartz immediately said joy was a key factor. The overall happiness and well-being of students and staff is what would create the foundation for a successful school system.
When Hartz was offered a tour of the school before she was officially hired, she said she saw that joy in the students of Poplar High School, which helped her decide to take the position.
Hartz is in charge of both management aspects of the school system as well as educational ones. By the nature of her job as principal, she interacts with students less than the assistant principal or teachers so she compensates for this by going around to classrooms on a regular basis and attending as many school sports and activities as she can.
Hartz said she believed leadership was a process and education was transformational. She said she wanted to involve everyone in the process of finding out what tactics work and taking the steps to implement those changes and improvements.
Flath similarly believed in working collectively to achieve goals this school year. He was previously a teacher and an assistant principal in Boulder and he plans to use his experience to guide him through his time in Poplar.
He said he hopes to build a new identity for the middle school and wants teachers, students, and the administration to believe what they're doing is good. He sees his position in the Poplar School District as an opportunity to rebuild.
Flath also said he was looking forward to creating and implementing multiple after-school programs over the course of the year.
Hoffman has the most diverse background in terms of his career. He previously produced music videos and has won an MTV music video award for his work.
Several years ago, he transitioned into an educational path when he began working as a teacher in The Bronx. He moved on to working as an assistant principal and a principal following his teaching career.
Hoffman said he wanted to work in a school that truly wanted his assistance and he felt that welcoming spirit from Poplar High School.
Hoffman said he looks forward to building relationships with the students and being a part of the community in general.
The largely new administrative team plans to implement productive changes and maintain already functioning values and goals.
Hartz, Blath and Hoffman emphasized the importance of leadership and collaborating to design a healthy and sustainable school system and look forward to creating such a system in the coming year.

Kuno Fischer, born Ernst Kuno Berthold Fischer (23 July 1824 – 5 July 1907), was a German philosopher, a historian of philosophy and a critic.
After studying philosophy at Leipzig and Halle, became a privatdocent at Heidelberg in 1850. The Baden government in 1853 laid an embargo on his teaching owing to his liberal ideas, but the effect of this was to rouse considerable sympathy for his views, and in 1856 he obtained a professorship at Jena, where he soon acquired great influence by the dignity of his personal character. In 1872, on Eduard Zeller's move to Berlin, Fischer succeeded him as professor of philosophy and the history of modern German literature at Heidelberg.
He was a brilliant lecturer and possessed a remarkable gift for clear exposition. His fame rests primarily on his work as a historian and commentator of philosophy. As far as his philosophical views were concerned, he was, generally speaking, a follower of the Hegelian school. His writings in this direction, especially his interpretation of Kant, involved him in a quarrel with F. A. Trendelenburg, professor of philosophy at the University of Berlin, and his followers. In 1860, Fischer's Kants Leben und die Grundlagen seiner Lehre (Kant's life and the foundations of his doctrine) lent the first real impulse to the so-called "return to Kant."
In honor of his 80th birthday, celebrated in 1904, O. Liebmann, W. Wundt, T. Lipps and others published Die Philosophie im Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Festschrift für Kuno Fischer (Heidelberg, 1907).
One of Fischer's most significant and lasting contributions to philosophy was the use of the empiricism/rationalism distinction in categorising philosophers, particularly those of the 17th and 18th centuries. These include John Locke, George Berkeley and David Hume in the empiricist category and René Descartes, Baruch Spinoza and G.W. Leibniz in the rationalist category. Empiricism, it is said, claims that human knowledge is derived from sensation, i.e. experience, while rationalism claims that certain knowledge can be acquired before experience through pure principles. Although influential, in more recent times this distinction has been questioned as anachronistic in its failure to represent precisely the exact claims and methodologies of the philosophers it categorises.
Kuno Fischer's History of Modern Philosophy had a strong impact on Friedrich Nietzsche and his view on modern philosophy, particularly on Spinoza.[2] Frege and W. Somerset Maugham were amongst his students.

Dog Veterinary
Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
Hi there --
Welcome to Just Answer.
I am so sorry to hear this has happened -- and there are several things you can do .
1) Hydrocortisone cream applied to the area
2) Bendryl to decrease intching --
you can use this human over the counter med if you dog is healthy
3) Stop the licking -- use of an ecollar (lampshade) to prevent licking is necessary in some cases.
Occasionally -- oral steroids or triamcinolone cream (prescription) is needed --
usually if you can get the itching under control with the hydrocortsone cream and benedryl -- then the licking will decrease with symptoms.
What if she licks off the creams?
Will they make her sick. She is a healthy 4 year old cockapoo.
You will need to prevent all licking -- the licking will cause more problems -- so anything from staying with her, to using an ecollar
Hydrocortisone cream in small amounts is not harmful -
Here is a link on use of benedryl in dogs -- including side effects and dosage,
So the ingestion of the cream is not harmful -- but the licking leads to more skin trauma and increased chance of infection.
Thank you. We will give these methods a try.
Using a cold compress can also help decrease the inflammation for a short time -
You are most welcome -

Today, in a 5-4 vote the United States Supreme Court struck down a 28-year-old ban on handguns in the city of Chicago, affirming the right to own guaranteed by the Second Amendment. This ruling extends Second Amendment rights to every city and state in the country, not just federal laws or jurisdictions.
The Supreme Court decision comes nearly two years after the District of Columbia vs. Heller case in which the Court struck down a similarly restrictive handgun ban in Washington, D.C.
In his majority opinion, Justice Samuel Alito wrote "the right to keep and bear arms must be regarded as a substantive guarantee, not a prohibition that could be ignored so long as the States legislated in an evenhanded manner."
"This is a victory for gun owners and freedom loving Americans everywhere," said Martha Roby, Republican candidate for Alabama's Second Congressional District. "Law abiding citizens should have the right to own a gun for their own self-defense or any other reason. I applaud the majority's decision to affirm the individual right to own stated in the Second Amendment."
"We also must be mindful that this was decided on a narrow 5-4 decision of the Court, as was Heller," said Roby. "We need to be vigilant in protecting our rights and make sure we are confirming judges who interpret the law, not activists who legislate from the bench."

Even though the typical season of giving is over, some Baker University students continue to volunteer their time.
Nine students traveled to Harvesters, a volunteer outreach center, Saturday in Topeka to take part in the Souper Bowl Weekend of Caring.
"It was a national weekend of service, specifically on combating hunger, across the nation where people were encouraged to get out and volunteer on the Super Bowl weekend," Brett Bruner, director of student life, said.
Harvesters provides struggling families in Kansas and Missouri with meals and hope.
Harvesters mission is to help people realize how close the problem of hunger is to them.
On Saturday, the Baker students focused primarily on children as they assisted in the BackSnacks program, which supplies meals to students over the weekend.
"The program is for youth whose next meal after school lunch on Friday might not be until school breakfast on Monday," Bruner said.
The volunteer shifts are three hours long and aside from a short video and tour of the facilities, the volunteers packaged meals the entire time.
"This past weekend, we made 2,145 BackSnacks which will be able to service Northeast Kansas children for three straight weekends," Bruner said. "That's the most any group I've taken has packaged and I think it put it into perspective what we were able to accomplish in that three hours."
Freshman Peyton Edmonds, one of the students who volunteered, said she has done similar community service projects at home and knows the effects it can have.
"You're going for three hours straight so it's really tiring, but you know it's helping a lot so it's worth it," Edmonds said.
Dean of Students Cassy Bailey accompanied the group to Harvesters and said she and her family were making a commitment to go one weekend out of every month.
"It's fun for the children because there's an activity involved and there's hands on learning," Bailey said. "There's also a clear link because Harvesters does so much for children."
Bruner also said his goal was to be able to take students on a monthly basis to volunteer their time at Harvesters.
While the event was open to all Baker students, the group that went on Saturday included only freshmen.
"In some ways it doesn't surprise me the group was all freshmen because I think we've exposed them to more service than other classes," Bailey said.

The Palace of Wisdom originated in 1999 when well established Christchurch rock'n'roller Ben Johnstone (Guitar/Backing Vocals – Hi-Tone Destroyers, The Incisions) got together with intimidating vocalist Andrew 'Ox' O'Connell, adding hooky guitar riffs to O'Connell's hurricane force vocals. The resulting recording was released as part of the No Thanks To New Zealand On Air compilation in 2000. Matt Alien (Hi-Tone Destroyers, Black Panthers, Space Dust, Slavetrader) joined on drums, with the line-up complete by English bassist Ian Lloyd.
With Lloyd's departure in late 2000, ALC5 (yet another Hi-Tone Destroyers member) joined the group on Bass, however after a year with the group he was also replaced, this time by the legendary Mick Elborado (Scorched Earth Policy, The Terminals, Gas, The Axemen, Drowning Is Easy etc), who became a mainstay in the group and is responsible for the bands huge, over-driven bass sound on the excellent Pills EP.
The group then started to rotated through a number of drummers with Nick Harte (The Incisions, Shocking Pinks, Black Albino, CM Ensemble, The Urinators) in February 2002, Tim MacDonald (The Incisions, Shocking Pinks) in March 2003, Simon Nunn (Steffan Van Soest Hit-Machine, The Undercurrents, Kate in the Lemon Tree, Weaponized, Hi-Tone Destroyers etc) in December 2003, and then Chris Andrews (a million lights, Mysterioball, Idols of Eve, Pop Hits City, O'Lovely) in November 2004.
This line-up was the longest of the group, though recordings from this era (which lasted almost 4 years) are limited to Stuck In The Suck. After a disastrous recording session at Christchurch's MAINZ, and other internal issues – Mick Elborado left the group. Jared Kelly (The Pickups, Blue Moon) then joined in May 2008, with Andrews and Kelly switching instruments after their first practice.
2008 was a particularly important year for the group, recording the Common Threads EP with the lineup of O'Connell (Vocals), Johnson (Guitar), Andrews (Bass) And Kelly (Drums) Before Stink Magnetic's Bad Evil joined as a 2nd guitarist, moving down from Palmerston North. This was an important change for the group as in late 2009 founding guitarist Ben Johnstone left to raise a family in Canada, and Aiden Moody (Bad Evil, Grand Chancellors) took over his lead guitar duties.
Both Kelly and Andrews left for other towns in 2010, however Ox enlisted the help of drummer Michael Summerfield (The Undercurrents, Cowboy Machine), before Andrews rejoined in early 2011 on bass guitar. The group played the very last show at historic Lyttelton venue El Santo Porteno, just 2 days before the February 2011 earthquake. This disrupted the progress the group had been making, with guitarist Moody moving on to form surf group The Grand Chancellors. The group resurfaced in early 2012 with Jared Kelly once again playing drums (replacing a departing Summerfield), with John Harris (Lonely Harris Club, Doctors, BnP) quickly establishing himself as their latest guitarist.
Of the course of the last 13 years the group has played a string of high-profile support slots, including The Chills, The Datsuns and of particular note – US group Dead Moon, who the group cover ('Unknown Passage') and are of particular importance to vocalist O'Connell with their never-say-die attitude to Rock'n'Roll. The Palace of Wisdom's set is augmented by a number of re-interpreted covers, often quite removed from the originals, or obscure in their origin – this includes The Great Unwashed's 'Born in the Wrong Time' (as 'Sending Him Away'), and Joy Division's 'Sound of Music'.

STEVENSON RANCH -- Bryan Alberts came through dramatically once again.
The star guard for Village Christian has a penchant for hitting clutch 3-pointers at the end, and the junior swished a 23-footer with no time remaining Friday night in a 56-54 victory at West Ranch (10-4) in a showdown between two of the area's premier boys basketball programs.
"As soon as it left my hand, I knew it was in," Alberts said. "I feel good. This was a good team win.
Alberts, a 6-5 junior with multiple scholarship offers, scored 24 points, hitting 9 of 16 shots, including three 3-pointers, in addition to five rebounds and three assists.
"I knew it was going in, too," Village Christian coach Jon Shaw said. "The way he lined up, and they way it left his hand, you could tell it was going in."
Six seconds earlier, West Ranch's Kevin Harris hit a 3-pointer to forge a one-point lead -- the host Wildcats' first advantage since early in the third quarter -- but defending Div. V state champion Village Christian (14-2) called a timeout with 5 seconds left, and that was just enough time for Alberts to field the inbounds pass, drive the length of the floor and hit the winning shot from the right corner with a hand in his face.
Alberts did the same thing last year when he made a winning 25-footer at the buzzer in a state playoff win over Renaissance Academy.
"This was a tough road win and a good learning experience for the kids," Shaw said.
West Ranch coach Shant Bicakci could only shake his head.
"It is what it is," Bicakci said. "Alberts is a heck of a player obviously. We have a guy right in his face and he hits a fadeaway from the baseline at the buzzer.
Village Christian's held West Ranch's star center Ako Kaluna to nine points and 15 rebounds before he fouled out with five minutes remaining.
"He missed a couple shots that he usually makes, and he got into foul trouble," Bicakci said. "He just couldn't get into a rhythm."

Seaweed rope
I like the dreamy diffused glow of this image. It was shot down in Inchadony Beach a few weeks back.
Howto: First of all, I had to straighten the horizon because it was at a precarious angle. I used two layers, I saturated the colours slightly in the bottom layer to bring out the green of the sea weed.
I blurred the top layer and converted it to black and white using the channel mixer. I applied a layer mask of a gradient to make the bottom half of the lower layer visible and changed layer mode to screen with an opacity of 100.
I then corrected lens distortion using ptlens running in Wine. The horizon was noticeably bent but this program did a great job correcting that!

Beautiful work! I thought it was a mountain range seen from high up at first. Love the look of this shot!
