Data indicate that E3 ligase called ube3 (dube3a) is required for brain development as mutants have defective mushroom bodies.
Rpn10 is targeted for degradation by Ube3a.
In Drosophila melanogaster the human homologue ube3a regulates the actin cytoskeleton and neuronal homeostasis.
MeCP2 (show MECP2 Antibodies) and E6AP play a role in the transcriptional control of common target gene expression.
Ube3a regulates serotonin and dopamine synthesis in the fly brain by increasing GTP cyclohydrolase I (show GCH1 Antibodies) activity.
dube3a null mutants appear normal externally, but display abnormal locomotive behavior and circadian rhythms, and defective long-term memory; overexpression in the nervous system caused locomotion defects, dependent on the ubiquitin ligase activity
Overexpression of dUBE3A decreased dendritic branching.
All patients with Angelman syndrome based on a deletion had epilepsy. Epilepsy was present in 3/4 children with UBE3A mutation. Laughter-induced postural muscle tone loss occurred only among deletion cases
The results of Trans-well and cell scratch tests showed that when ANCR expression was decreased, the invasion and migration abilities of SW620 cells significantly declined (both P < 0.05). In conclusion, these results suggest that lncRNA-ANCR could influence the invasion and migration of CRC (show CALR Antibodies) cells by specifically binding to EZH2 (show EZH2 Antibodies).
There were total 55 molecularly confirmed Angelman syndrome(AS) between January 1995 to September 2015 for review. 65.5% of them were caused by maternal microdeletion, 10.9% by paternal uniparental disomy, 3.6% by imprinting center defect and 14.5% by UBE3A gene mutation
The observation of Dup15q syndrome in individuals with maternally but not paternally inherited duplications of chromosome 15q11-q13, suggest that UBE3A drives the Angelman syndrome phenotype in this disorder. (Review)
our results indicate that CSN6 (show COPS6 Antibodies) is a positive regulator of E6AP and is important for cervical cancer development.
Stable over-expression of E6-AP increases the proliferation and invasion of prostate tumor cells.
Impairments in both synaptic plasticity and fear conditioning memory in UBE3A-deficient mice are significantly ameliorated by blocking SK2 (show KCNN2 Antibodies). These results elucidate a mechanism by which UBE3A directly influences cognitive function.
Study describes an upstream regulatory mechanism for UBE3A and provides a comprehensive understanding of how missense mutations linked to Angelman syndrome and autism affect UBE3A protein function.
The miR (show MLXIP Antibodies)-375-UBE3A axis is important in modulating radiosensitivity of HR-HPV (+) cervical cancer.
UBE3A dampens ERK (show EPHB2 Antibodies) pathway signalling in HPV E6 transformed HeLa cells
the role of UBE3A is investigated in neurite contact guidance during neuronal development, is reported.
Results substantiate GABAergic Ube3a loss as the principal cause of circuit hyperexcitability in Angelman syndrome mice, lending insight into ictogenic mechanisms in AS.
Loss of Ube3a from tyrosine hydroxylase (show TH Antibodies)-expressing neurons impairs mesoaccumbal, non-canonical GABA co-release and enhances reward-seeking behaviour measured by optical self-stimulation.
Results suggest that the phenotypes observed in Angelman syndrome mice may be modulated by factors independent of Ube3a genotype
The normal window of development in Angelman syndrome patients is supported by an incompletely silenced paternal allele in developing neurons, resulting in a relative preservation of Ube3a expression during this crucial epoch of early development.
Inactivation of Ube3a expression elevates BMAL1 (show ARNTL Antibodies) levels in brain regions that control circadian behavior of AS-model mice, indicating an important role for Ube3a in modulating BMAL1 (show ARNTL Antibodies) turnover.
This study demonstrated that abnormal sleep patterns arise from a deficit in accumulation of sleep drive, uncovering the Ube3a gene as a novel genetic regulator of sleep homeostasis
The deficiency of Ube3a in Huntington's disease (HD) mice brain also caused significant increase in global aggregates load, and these aggregates were less ubiquitinated when compared with age-matched HD mice.
There are distinct neurodevelopmental windows when Ube3a restoration rescues Angelman-syndrome-like phenotypes. Motor deficits are rescued in adolescence. Anxiety, repetitive behavior, and epilepsy are rescued in early development.
In the skeletal muscle of neonate pigs, both NECD (show NDN Antibodies) and SNRPN (show SNRPN Antibodies) were maternally imprinted, while UBE3A was not imprinted.
This gene encodes an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase, part of the ubiquitin protein degradation system. This imprinted gene is maternally expressed in brain and biallelically expressed in other tissues. Maternally inherited deletion of this gene causes Angelman Syndrome, characterized by severe motor and intellectual retardation, ataxia, hypotonia, epilepsy, absence of speech, and characteristic facies. The protein also interacts with the E6 protein of human papillomavirus types 16 and 18, resulting in ubiquitination and proteolysis of tumor protein p53. Alternative splicing of this gene results in three transcript variants encoding three isoforms with different N-termini. Additional transcript variants have been described, but their full length nature has not been determined.

|Fast Break: Rajon Rondo's return sparks Celtics
|05.07.11 at 10:57 pm ET
Rajon Rondo played with one arm, Shaquille O'Neal actually played basketball and Kevin Garnett submitted a vintage performance — and it all added up to a gritty 97-81 Celtics victory in what was essentially a must-win Game 3 against the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
In a scary third-quarter moment, Rondo got tangled up with Dwyane Wade and dislocated his elbow. After receiving treatment, he shockingly returned for the fourth quarter — finishing with 11 assists and six points with essentially one arm. Meanwhile, Shaq scored just two points in eight minutes.
If not for those two Celtics comebacks, Garnett would've been the headliner — totaling 28 points and 18 rebounds in the victory. Wade led the Heat with 23 points, and Mario Chalmers added 17 off the bench.
The Big Three: Even before Rondo went to the locker room with an elbow injury — and especially while Rondo got treatment — the Celtics' Big Three asserted themselves and carried the team on both ends of the floor. The trio looked as sharp as they had all series, totaling 70 points on 26-of-51 shooting. Paul Pierce nearly matched Garnett's output with 27 points of his own.
Meanwhile, the C's Big Three held Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh to 43 combined points on 15-of-41 shooting. Bosh was nearly invisible, totaling only six points and five rebounds.
Encouraging start: For the first 5:07 of Game 3, the Celtics appeared ready to seize early control and set a tone for what the Heat could expect in Boston. The Garden crowd was loud, and the starting five's play spoke louder. Behind a stifling defense and out of the flow of a well executed offense, Pierce scored 10 early points as the Celtics took a 16-7 lead — forcing Heat coach Erik Spoelstra to spend a timeout with 6:53 still remaining in the first quarter.
Shaq comes back: With 2:41 remaining in the first quarter, Shaq returned to the court for the first time this postseason and just the second time since Feb. 1. A minute and a half later, he scored his first bucket to put the Celtics up 27-20. He played 4:46 in the first half — lumbering for much of it, but also altering at least a few Miami shots on the defensive end. His final line of two points and one rebound were less climactic — but his 8:29 playing time was certainly encouraging.
Down goes Rajon Rondo: With 7:01 left in the third quarter, Wade and Rondo got tied up in the paint on the Celtics end, and Rondo landed awkwardly on his arm — appearing to hyperextend his left elbow. After clutching his arm on the floor for what seemed like an eternity, trainer Ed Lacerte ushered Rondo — and what appeared to be the C's season — into the locker room.
At the end of the third quarter, Rondo returned to the Celtics bench with a dislocated elbow. And he returned to the floor to start the fourth quarter, bringing the crowd to a deafening level. He played the entire fourth quarter.
Joel Anthony's energy: As has been the case all series long, the Celtics had no answer for Anthony (12 points, 11 rebounds) off the bench. He recorded 10 points (on 5-of-5 shooting) and seven rebounds in the first half alone. Four of those seven boards came on the offensive end, where he often found himself wide open underneath the basket (hence the perfect first-half field-goal percentage).
Ray Allen's foul trouble: Questionable or not, Allen picked up his third foul with 6:48 still to play in the second quarter as he brushed Wade's elbow on a 3-point attempt. The whistle came on the heels of a string of questionable calls by the refereeing crew of Bob Delaney, Bill Kennedy and Steve Javie. Also, Moments after Rondo's injury, Wade took down Allen underneath the basket, and Allen had to be restrained from going after Wade — a rare but understandable burst of anger for the 3-point king, for certain.
|Rajon Rondo returns after dislocating left elbow
|at 10:04 pm ET
Rajon Rondo dislocated his left elbow in a collision with Dwayne Wade midway through the third quarter. He returned to start the fourth quarter of Game 3 Saturday night against the Heat after Celtics medical staff popped it back in place.
He was holding his left arm and had to be helped to the locker room by team medical staff with just over seven minutes left in the third quarter. Rondo appeared to fall awkwardly on his left elbow on a foul by Wade with 7:02 left in the quarter. Wade appeared to push Rondo to the floor after Rondo collected a loose ball rebound.
Moments later, Wade pushed Ray Allen under the Celtics basket and the two came face-to-face before tempers cooled.
|Speaking with the Enemy: Celtics vs. Heat
|05.06.11 at 2:36 pm ET
In advance of Saturday night's Game 3 between the Celtics and Heat at the TD Garden (8 p.m.), we caught up with David Dwork at the 'Peninsula is Mightier' blog. He answered our six most pressing questions as the C's attempt to climb their way out of a 2-0 hole …
How confident are Miami fans with this 2-0 lead against the Celtics?
I think that Heat fans are feeling pretty good after taking the first two games of the series. Considering our history against the Celtics over the past several years I think it's safe to say that while there is some obvious confidence that comes with a 2-0 series lead, Miami fans are certainly wary of how quickly things can change. Heat fans do know, however, after watching this team grow and improve throughout the course of the season, that if they continue to play well and don't fall into a funk, Miami should win this series.
Who gets credit for the Heat playing their best basketball at the right time?
No one person gets the credit for the Heat playing as well as they are. The team as a whole has been working extremely hard since training camp to get acclimated to playing with one another, learning the offensive playbook and defensive system that Erik Spoelstra and his coaching staff put together — and doing it on the fly during the season, regardless of whether it was during practice, home games or on the road in very hostile environments. This has been a total team effort, and they all equally deserve credit.
Will Miami's role players (i.e., James Jones & Joel Anthony) be this productive all series?
Joel Anthony has been playing this role all season, and as he has done over the past few years he is only going to continue to get better. Whether it be in the starting lineup or coming off the bench, Anthony has been a defensive monster for Miami. Blocking shots and shutting down the painted area is what he has become known for, but his help defense is what has really gotten my attention in the postseason. Also, while he has a very limited offensive game, his hard work during practice and in the video room combined with his non-stop hustle has him suddenly setting picks like a seasoned veteran. He has quietly become an all-around defensive specialist and has earned the fans respect, getting chants of M-V-P.
Other role players such as James Jones, Mario Chalmers and even Mike Miller are finding ways to produce for the Heat and give them solid minutes on both ends of the floor. All three have shown they can hit big outside shots, but on this team you earn your stripes playing defense and that is where they have really stepped up their game.
What's the difference between the Dwyane Wade we're seeing now and the one that struggled against the Celtics in the regular season?
WALTHAM — Shaquille O'Neal hasn't played since that fateful six-minute stint against the Pistons on April 3 at TD Garden.
When he left the floor, hobbling badly on his strained right calf, no one knew when ' or if ' the future Hall of Fame center would make his Celtics playoff debut.
Well, it appears O'Neal will indeed join the playoff party for the Celtics on Saturday night for Game 3 against Miami ' and not a minute too soon. After he was hardly missed in the Celtics' four-game dispatch of the Knicks in the first round, his void has been huge in the second round as Miami has muscled its way to two straight wins.
Doc Rivers spoke Thursday about how badly he wants to see his team "go through bodies" and be "forceful" with the Heat to get back in this series.
Hello, Shaq. But Rivers is keeping his expectations in line and not getting his hopes anywhere near up as it pertains to O'Neal. Why? Because Shaq has played exactly five minutes, 29 seconds in one game dating back to Feb. 1. In that 5:29, O'Neal was certainly promising as an inside force, hitting all three shots from the field and grabbing a rebound and, most importantly, establishing an unmistakable inside presence for the Celtics.
But Rivers truly doesn't know if he can expect that Saturday.
"I have no idea, I really don't," he said. "And I don't say it to be funny, I just don't, but I know he's going to be big, I know that."
Will Shaq's mere presence in the paint be a deterrent for the Heat and a "force" for the Celtics?
"He'll be big at the end of the day," Rivers added. "We'll find that out. I can't give that answer."
|Glen Davis meets John Havlicek and learns a lesson about toughness
|05.05.11 at 4:43 pm ET
WALTHAM — The Celtics aren't in the easiest spot right now. They're banged up. They're getting outworked and they're down two games to a Miami Heat team that many consider the odds-on favorite right now to capture the NBA title.
But alas, not all hope is lost. Just ask Glen Davis, who Thursday at Celtics practice had a chance encounter with a Celtics legend of the past who told Davis to just hang in there. After all – as the Ringo Starr song goes – It Don't Come Easy. Just like John Havlicek told Davis.
"The frustration, things not working out, you can get all messed up. But I was talking to Havlicek today, you know, 'Havlicek Stole the Ball' and I said which one of these [championship] banners were you 0-2, and he said the one that stood out to him was 1969. When they were down 0-2, they came back to win it in Game 7 against the Lakers."
That was the series, of course, that featured the Don Nelson shot that bounced straight up after hitting the back of the rim and came down through the net at the old Los Angeles Arena to put the Celtics on top and lead them to their 11th title with Bill Russell in the organization. It also marked the only time the Celtics ever won a series after losing the first two games.
"He was just saying, 'It's going to take everything in you to fight and claw back and get back to get to 2-2 even but then it's going to take something special to finish them off.'"
Can they do it against the Miami Heat? Davis said Thursday after practice that getting back to the mental and physical toughness that makes the Celtics a great team would be a good place to start.
"We didn't play Celtics basketball," Davis said. "Nobody played the way they were supposed to play. Ray had a good game the first game but we still didn't pull it off. We all were supposed to play well but we didn't. It's easy to point the finger and blame and play the blame game as Kanye West would say but you've got to go get it. That's all it is right now. X's and O's and you can coach as much as you want but that still ain't going to make it happen."
WALTHAM — After a lengthy film session and practice Thursday at their facility in Waltham, Celtics coach Doc Rivers pronounced everyone ready to play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Heat at TD Garden.
Most notably, Shaquille O'Neal – according to Rivers – will be able to make his playoff debut for the Celtics after missing the first round and first two games of the Heat series with a sore right calf. Rivers said Paul Pierce also will be able to play, despite a sore Achilles that cropped up during the Game 2 loss Tuesday night in Miami. Pierce, however, was held out of Thursday's practice as a precaution.
"Everybody's good," Rivers said. "Everybody is feeling pretty good. Shaq went through practice. We didn't do anything today, we just watched film and walked over [some] stuff. Then, the second unit worked on their stuff but right now, we expect every single guy, including Shaq, to play in Game 3.
"Honestly, today, [Pierce] could've played in a real game but we were not going to let him practice today because his foot, Achilles, is bothering him but he would be fine."
Rajon Rondo (back) and Ray Allen (bruised chest) took part in Thursday's workout and are also expected to be ready. The Celtics will practice again on Friday before taking on the Heat Saturday night, trailing the best-of-7 Eastern Conference semifinal series, 2-0.
|Irish Coffee: Celtics must cash in at end of quarters
|at 10:29 am ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
The Celtics were once the best closers in basketball — playing suffocating defense and precision offense to keep leads (or deficits) safe at the end of each 12 minutes. Now? Not so much.
As the whistle signaled the close of each of the first three quarters in Games 1 and 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, it's been Miami — not the Celtics — that has turned up the heat on both ends of the floor to stretch a lead the C's had tried so hard to erase.
"One of our biggest strong points in our team and how we play the game is closing out quarters," added Celtics shooting guard Ray Allen. "What we haven't done in these past two games is close out the quarters well. Whether we're down, whether we're up, whether the game is tied, to finish quarters we have given them too many points. We have to be a lot more solid."
The Celtics have been outscored at the end of each of the first three quarters in both losses — 99-90 in Game 1 and 102-91 in Game 2. In the last two minutes of those six quarters, the Heat have outscored the C's by a total of 12 points. That advantage balloons to 22 when you look at the final three minutes or 32 points when you zoom out to four minutes.
Miami has beaten the Celtics 13-6 in the last three minutes of the first half in both matchups. In Game 1, the Heat stretched a 38-30 advantage into a 51-36 halftime lead. Then, in Game 2, the Celtics turned a 36-34 edge into a 47-42 halftime deficit. Each time, they never recovered.
"One of the things we clearly have to do a better job of is close out quarters," Celtics coach Doc Rivers told reporters after Tuesday's loss. "They closed out the first quarter on a run. They closed out the second quarter on a run. They closed out the third quarter, and then they closed out the game all on runs. We have to figure out a way of finishing quarters better than we did."

Linda Timm, president of Mount Mary College, resigned Tuesday after meeting with the chairwomen of the two boards that oversee the 1,700-student school, officials announced.
She had held the post for two years.
Eileen Schwalbach, the current provost, will assume the position of acting president immediately.
Timm resigned after meeting twice in the past week with Margaret C. Kelsey, chairwoman of the Mount Mary College Board of Trustees, and Sister Debra Sciano, provincial leader and chair of the corporate board of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, who oversee the Milwaukee college, spokeswoman Erica Neuberger said.
Neuberger would not say why Timm resigned, and neither Kelsey nor Sciano was available to comment.
Timm has served as Mount Mary's 10th president since July 1, 2006. Before coming to Mount Mary, she served for 11 years as vice president for student affairs at Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame, Ind.Under Timm, the Milwaukee college developed a strategic plan to guide the institution through 2012. Timm this summer launched a $5 million targeted fund-raising campaign for facilities improvement.
Mount Mary College, on an 80-acre campus in Milwaukee, is a Catholic college for women. The college's board, made up of lay businesspeople and religious, is a subset of the corporate board of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, Neuberger said.
"We appreciate Dr. Timm's dedicated service to Mount Mary College during the past two years," Sciano said in a prepared statement. "Dr. Timm's commitment to the college's mission and her devotion to serving the needs of students were at the core of her work as president. She has set the path to move the college forward as it fulfills its mission."
Kelsey, vice president of corporate strategy and business development at Modine Manufacturing Co. in Racine, said Timm will be available to consult with the college this academic year.
"We would like to thank Dr. Timm for her service to the college and wish her well in her future endeavors," she said in a statement. "We look forward to working with Dr. Schwalbach on further advancing the vision and mission of Mount Mary College."
Schwalbach, 58, who has worked at Mount Mary since 1993, earned her doctorate in urban education from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Before that, she earned a master's degree in English from UW-Milwaukee and a bachelor's degree in English from Marquette University.
She became provost in 2007, after holding a number of positions at the college. She has served as vice president for academic and student affairs; associate dean for academic and student affairs; director of the graduate program in education; and associate professor of education.

Is this trip right for you?
The primary means of transportation on this trip is by train and bus. European trains are comfortable and often decked out with air-conditioning. Toilets are always available. Some of the trains have snack bars (or vending machines) and power points next to the seats but that cannot be guaranteed on every journey. Train travel is a fast way to traverse long distances, allowing you to avoid traffic jams and arrive right into the city centre. Public buses are also comfortable and often air-conditioned, but there aren't always toilets on board. Please note that you will have to carry your own luggage on and off the train, and also up or down few flights of stairs as unfortunately some of the stations may not have lifts. It's recommended that you leave any wheelie bags/cases at home and bring a backpack instead, but please make sure it doesn't exceed our weight and size recommendations. You can find this information in the 'What to Take' section of the trip notes.
Summer temperatures can be extreme in many of the regions visited (over 40°C), which can be uncomfortable. It's important to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat and drink plenty of water. Please also note that not all hotels in Europe would have Air Conditioning system, but only fans. It may be uncomfortable for some in summer heat. Please carefully consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season.
As accommodation on this trip is twin-share, single travellers will share a room with another traveller of the same sex. If you'd prefer not to share, a single room supplement is available at an additional charge. Please ask your travel consultant for more details. Also, hotels in Europe often don't have double beds, but rather two single beds that can be pushed together and rooms in Europe can seem rather small by American or Australian standards.

Note: While bullfighting is a significant part of Spanish culture and history, its practice is contrary to our Responsible Travel philosophy. Intrepid does not support or attend bullfights, as the bulls are subject to torment and fear and are often killed inhumanely. Long a controversial issue in Spain, a landmark decision in July 2010 banned bullfighting in the state of Catalonia from January 2012

Day 6-7 Tarifa
Due to festivals taking place in Ronda and Seville in May and September, itinerary of 6th of May and 2nd September departures is changed in order to secure the accommodation, avoid the closure of many tourist attractions, and enjoy the places visited without the crowds. After 3 days in Spain, instead of going from Granada to Seville, the trip will visit Ronda and Tariff (Costa de la Luz) first, and then continue to Seville and Cordoba. Places visited and included activities remain the same but are done in different order.

Best of Spain, May 2017
Robyn Sellars
Intrepid Best of Spain is a fun & informative journey to meet local people and experience the history culture and life of modern Spain. The small group travel means we had lots of local experiences and met Spanish people.

Best of Spain, May 2017
Ian and Wendy Clay
The Best of Spain went to wonderful places with great sites to see. The main problem was not enough time to see and do everything we wished! The Alhambra in Granada and the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona were two highlights, but the cycling in Valencia, the visit to the Alcazar in Sevilla, and walking around Ronda were also most enjoyable. We also really enjoyed exploring Gibraltar for a day while based in Tarifa.

Refuge Recovery Daylong with Enrique Collazo
Saturday, June 27
2701 Folsom Street
San Francisco, CA
This daylong will include formal meditation practice, teachings, and discussion on the First Noble Truth, and how we can learn to radically accept what is, while taking the actions to change. You will also have the opportunity to create a First Truth inventory. Please bring a pen and paper. In-depth guidance and instruction will be provided. There will be a break for lunch.
The path of Refuge Recovery begins with the First Truth: addiction creates suffering. This is not a philosophy. It is a practice; it demands action. We must understand, acknowledge, admit and accept all of the ways addiction has caused suffering in our lives. The Four Truths of Refuge Recovery are a Buddhist oriented path to recovery from addictions. It has proven successful with addicts and alcoholics who have committed to the Buddhist path of meditation, generosity, kindness and renunciation.
Refuge Recovery is a community of people who are using the practices of mindfulness, compassion, forgiveness, and generosity to heal the pain and suffering that addiction has caused in our lives and the lives of our loved ones.
Cost: $25-45 Dana (donation).
No one is ever turned away for lack of funds.
Enrique Collazo is a Buddhist meditation instructor and group facilitator trained by Noah Levine at Against the Stream Buddhist Meditation Society in Los Angeles. He has over 10 years of sobriety, sponsorship and meditation training, and has been involved in teaching Refuge Recovery since 2000.

Slideshow: Black History Month salute
Elana Meyers
After winning a bronze medal with pilot Erin Pac at the 2010 Vancouver Games, Elana Meyers has moved to the bobsled's driver's seat and is one of the favorites to glide onto the podium in Sochi. <i>(Photo: Getty Images)</i>
Black History Month: Celebrating Winter Olympians
Five of the six members of the U.S. women's bobsled team at the Sochi Olympics are of African-American heritage, and black athletes are expected to land in the Sochi spotlight like never before at a Winter Olympics. In celebration of Black History Month, we salute some of the African-American pioneers, both men and women, who helped pave the way for a more diverse Winter Games. (Photo: Scott Halleran/Getty Images)
Tai Babilonia
Tai Babilonia was just 16 when she skated onto the Olympic stage with Randy Gardner and finished fifth in the pairs competition at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. Her popularity only picked up from there. In all, Babilonia, who was born to a Filipino father and a black mother, and Gardner won five U.S. championships and one world championship. Babilonia and Gardner were the favorites -- not to mention America's Sweethearts -- heading into the 1980 Games, but had to withdraw when Gardner aggravated a groin injury. (AP Photo/Gene Puskar)
1980 Bobsled Team
Willie Davenport, second from left, and Jeff Gadley, third from left, became the first African-American men on a U.S. Winter Olympics roster in 1980. Davenport and Gadley, who were push athletes on the four-man bobsled squad, finished in 12th place in Lake Placid. (Photo: AP)
Willie Davenport
The 1980 Games were the fifth Olympics for Willie Davenport. Although he finished 12th in the bobsled, he had previously won gold in the 110-meter hurdles at the 1968 Olympics and bronze at the 1976 Olympics. (AP Photo)
Debi Thomas
After winning the U.S. and world titles in 1986, all eyes were on Debi Thomas at the 1988 Olympics. It didn't hurt that her rivalry with East German Katarina Witt was amplified when both chose to skate their long programs to Bizet's "Carmen." Although it was Witt who struck gold, Thomas became the first African-American to win a medal at the Winter Olympics when she took home the bronze. (Photo: Focus on Sport/Getty Images)
Herschel Walker
Herschel Walker, right, pushed bobsled into an unprecedented spotlight in America when he made the U.S. team for the 1992 Olympics. The Heisman Trophy winner and NFL running back finished seventh with partner Brian Shimer in Albertville. (Photo: Sporting News via Getty Images)
Garrett Hines and Randy Jones
Garrett Hines, second from left, who was competing in his second Olympics in Salt Lake City, and Randy Jones, far right, who was competing in his third, won silver medals as part of the United States' four-man bobsled team at the 2002 Games.

Vonetta Flowers
Vonetta Flowers became the first African-American -- and the first black athlete from any country -- to win a gold medal at the Winter Olympics when she and Jill Bakken won the two-woman bobsled at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games. "We all started from Flowers," 2010 bronze medalist Elana Meyers said. "That's when most women started hearing about it, from Vonetta, with all the hype centered around her incredible accomplishment. Starting out there and following in her footsteps is pretty cool." (Photo: AP)
Shani Davis
Shani Davis made history in 2006 when he became the first black man from any country to win a gold medal at the Winter Olympics, finishing first in the the 1,000-meter speedskating. Davis also was the first African-American -- man or woman -- to win gold in an individual event. Davis didn't stop there. He came back for the 2010 Games and captured gold once again in the 1,000 meters. He's looking to make more history in Sochi, where he could become the first American to win three straight Winter Olympic gold medals in the same event. (AP Photo)

The role of the Infrastructure Renewal Committee (IRC) is to develop relationships with other national bodies and to provide leadership to the CSCE through project activities in the broad field of infrastructure renewal. These activities continue to reinforce CSCE's profile as an integral part of the infrastructure community across Canada. The IRC also acts as the national voice of the CSCE with respect to infrastructure policies through interactions with other national groups and the Federal government.
Members of the IRC participate in national initiatives providing leadership through several organizations and working groups. The primary groups that are involved with CSCE in these activities include the Canadian Public Works Association (CPWA), the Canadian Network of Asset Managers (CNAM), the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) and the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies in Canada (ACEC).
The IRC is working with the CSCE's Sustainable Development Committee to promote and develop CSCE's strategic direction ofLeadership in Sustainable Infrastructure. This involves developing resources to better understand and define sustainable infrastructure to ensure that the CSCE will house the national subject matter experts in this field.
The following list outlines some of the interest areas of the IRC and its members:
- Implementing practical asset management systems for infrastructure owners.
- The role of asset management systems in quantifying the sustainability of infrastructure in terms of financial, social and environmental aspects.
- Renewing infrastructure using techniques that are more sustainable (i.e. trenchless technologies).
- Building capacity and knowledge surrounding asset management for infrastructure owners.
The IRC is currently acting as the CSCE representatives for the following ongoing national initiatives:
- The Canadian Municipal Infrastructure Report Card
- Engaging with Infrastructure Canada in their process of developing a Long Term Infrastructure Plan
- Working with our industry partners on discussions of a Canadian sustainability rating system for infrastructure

There's an interesting post on Brian Jones's blog today about how rsids work in Open XML documents.
The use of rsids provides a simple and flexible mechanism for merging changes two users make to the same document, and if you've looked inside many Open XML documents you've seen rsdis all over the place. They're used to identify "batches" of changes to text, styles, properties, and many other elements.
If you're writing code that modifies existing documents, you may want to implement rsids. That will allow users to merge changes made by your software as intuitively as they can merge changes made from within Word or Office, and your modifications won't have unexpected behavior for users who rely on Word's merge-changes functionality.
You can design your own software to handle rsids exactly the same way that Office does, since the details are all documented in the spec. Brian's post will help you get started.

|Thu, 14 Dec 2006 12:17:23 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-675?page=comments#action_12458446 ] Michael Singer commented on JCR-675: ------------------------------------ I changed the class o.a.j.r.s.ServerObject to extend PortableRemoteObject instead of UnicastRemoteObject. PortableRemoteObject has a static method unexportObject(Remote obj) which deregisteres a server object from the runtime allowing the object to become available for garbage collection. I therefore added a method to ServerObject: public synchronized void unexport() throws RemoteException { PortableRemoteObject.unexportObject(this); } On the .NET side I implemented the destructor which is called by the .NET garbage collector. This destructor calls the unexport method of the remote object which makes the object on the java side available for garbage collection. For example I have a class Session in .NET and implemented ~Session(){...}: public class Session : ISession { private RemoteSession session = null; public Session(RemoteSession session) { this.session = session; } /// <summary> /// <para> /// Called by the Garbage Collector to remove the ORB-Object-Reference. /// </para> /// </summary> ~Session() { session.unexport(); } ... } So if an object on the .NET side is garbage collected it calls the unexport method of the remote object which then also should become garbage collected. > IIOP enabled jackrabbit-jcr-rmi, .NET 2.0 Remoting Layer Implementation, .NET 2.0 Repository Explorer implementation, .NET 2.0 implementation of JSR-170 API > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: JCR-675 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-675 > Project: Jackrabbit > Issue Type: New Feature > Environment: .NET Framework 2.0, JDK1.5, IIOP.NET latest version > Reporter: Michael Singer > Priority: Minor > Attachments: jcr-iiop.zip, JCR.NET.zip > > > I developed this stuff about a year ago.

|Missing the tip of one of his longhorns.
|A metal chicken and a hand-painted "Texas" to greet you.
Good morning, Tex! I like the neatness of the first fence and yard. The longhorn and metal chicken are cute decorations! Thanks for hosting, have a great day!
I still like the LONGHORN on the gate, missing horn tip or not.
I think I like the weary fence best, although it could use a little sprucing up!
Nothing wrong with homemade. That's a little different style of fence, too. I like the hand written "Texas"!
i like the chicken and the hand painted texas :)
I like the rustic look of the last one and the chicken under Texas made me smile..
Great shots. Love the corner fence posts.
That Texas Longhorn sure does have "long horns"!
Nice longhorn on the gate! Sounds like the owners are proud to be Texans!
The old fence is still doing its job. Sort of a metaphor for some of us getting long in the tooth.
Love that chicken and Texas sign above the sturdy fencing. That reminds me, I think that in Texas you see the name 'Texas' quite a bit in signs on ranches. I've yet to see a Wisconsin farm with the name 'Wisconsin' on a sign. I think I need to remedy that.
This is a really cool one. I will be back; I have a very sick cat right now.
I love that longhorn!
Maybe it's just Halloween... But that painted Texas kinda reminds me of the movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre:@)
The Longhorn just shouts "Texas."
The chicken is cute too. Nice neat fence,
i just love the big red steer head. that is pretty fancy. ( :
Cool ornaments!
Thanks for hosting :-)
the good, the bad (looks like texas blood) and the ugly!!
i really like the first place. neat, clean and tidy, my kinda place ;)
I always wonder about the need to write "Texas" on a sign. Like you didn't know already? Just proud I guess that they live there. :-)
Two jobs for this fence. Keepin' cows corralled and playing a good game of tennis.
Wonder why the longhorn lost one of his horns LOL? Have a tremendous Thursday.
Best wishes Molly
Quite a contrast in fences!
I like the missing tip of the horn...seems to be more lifelike. It's a nice fence and gate and yes the one next door looks very weary.
I do love those Texas fences!
Nice juxtaposition - a weary unkempt fence next to a nice neat fence !
That weary gate reminds me of myself...weary, leaning and ready for a lift. lol
Lovely pictures of fences! Have a great day!
I have to get out more to find images for some of my favorite memes, such as yours!
"Good fences" ist a great ideal; I like it!
Lovely pics of fences :)
Have a great day, and best wishes
What a wonderful collection of whimsical fences.
Life is hard even if you are a make believe Longhorn :) Love the embellishments ... probably like the chicken the best since I have a thing for birds. Nice group of fences, Theresa.
Andrea @ From The Sol
Great looking fences, love the homemade longhorn head.Blessings Francine.
I love that hand painted TEXAS! Hope that's red paint! haha! Thanks for the fences! Hugs, Diane
I do love the longhorn. Pretty cool! However, the Texas sign above the chicken looks kind of creepy to me!!!
The last shot is my favorite. I like that chicken too!
I like the Texas one!
Lovely pictures of fences.
Texas has fences of all types doesn't it? From neat to weary!
Love the homemade longhorn.
The shabby fences looks a bit like some of our own old fences.... But I like the neat and tidy because it looks like sombody cares.
I spent a few minutes looking at each picture how it related to the others. Learning my way around the farm.
Oh, the long horn with the missing tip and chicken is really neat♪ I always think people in Texas has pride with their state. I really admire that. Yes,I like the hand printed 'TEXAS', Theresa.
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Makes me think of UT since both my granddaughters graduated from there. Like this whole post very much.
Longhorn and free-range chicken make for nice adornments. Thanks for sharing.
I like all of those pictures! Especially the hand painted Texas sign..
For some reason I just love this fence...and I especially love that last shot. Love the way the posts are leaning. and that they look like trees...
wouldn't care to catch myself on one of those longhorns
For sure by your last photo the weariness really stands out. I'm not sure why, but the painted word Texas, brings Civil War days to mind. Weird, I know. It looks like it was put there in haste, by necessity. But the gate with the wheel, or so it appears to me, gives me a great idea for a heavy wooden gate we have. A wise idea!
I really like the longhorn and the chicken. A great way to personalize a gate or fence.
your region looks so wild
A very neat-looking, well-kept place. I like the longhorn accent on the gate and the metal chicken! Good ol' rustic fence at the end, too. Looks like it has worked hard during its lifetime. :)
Thanks for hosting!
I can't help but think that TEXAS was written in blood. Perhaps that was the intent. I wouldn't have noticed the chicken if you hadn't pointed it out. Pure Texas all around.
Pretty good and neat fences! Hand painted Texas isn't bad
Pretty good and neat fences! Hand painted Texas isn't bad
We have a weary gate or two around out place.
Gradually Terry and I are getting them fixed, though.
You have such a good variety of fences in your post. The long horn seems to have been dehorned on one side. Too bad. I like the corner with the fence running both ways too. A favorite.
That pasture fence does look weary! :-)
That is a nice fence. Love the handwriting. And the chicken is cute :-)
I guess fences in Texas are what makes cattle ranches possible.
Great fences for the day! Texas does have a great variety! Hope your week is going well!!
These are great and I love the longhorn.
I always enjoy your fences and the building behind them.
I like the "Texas" un case a passerby wants to know what State he is in.
I like the homemade embellishments!
Haha LOVE the chicken and like you all didn't already know you were in Texas! :)
Love the fences!
I can smell the country air .. LOVE IT!
I agree with one of the other commentaries, like the long horn on the fence.
Nice looking gate and fence, but that weary pasture fence next door takes the prize.
Great collection of fences. I've only just linked as my post seems to hit the air many hours before yours! Greetings. Jo
That is fences.
Love the homemade embellishments. :)
"Texas"...stating the obvious. Nice batch of fences. I like that rustic Texas sign.
I love those Texas fences! For some reason, the Texas sign made me think of the "Don't Mess with Texas" signs I used to see there and I think my son even had one when he lived in TX, my brother, too. I don't think you'll ever see a Don't Mess with Missouri sign anywhere! haha!
Nice fence shots. I like the decorations on it. The Longhorn is pretty cool and so was the chicken. The "Texas" though looked like dripping blood, sort of like something you might see in a horror movie.
For some reason I love the metal chicken.
Lovely fences Tex!!I like most the Longhorn!!So cool!!
That's a neat fence (as in tidy). I like it.
That weary pasture fence reminds me of what is around my NC property... if it's even still there.
I like that chicken!
The homemade additions add a lot of charm :)
Something about the "weary" fence speaks to me. Perhaps, it has something to do with my age :) Nice photos, Theresa. Thanks so much for hosting!
Are Texas chickens bigger? IMWTK
I've seen real longhorns with a broken tip like that. Examples of good fences and bad fences here... I like them all.
I think it is neat they used a chicken as decoration. Do not see many of those. At least, they also honored Texas.
That fence just screams Texas in every way possible!
Being a pasture fence is HARD WORK. You have to stand all day and night!
So is that the ranch of the short horned cattle? ha ha
I almost missed seeing the chicken... till I read the note at the bottom. Nice fence shots.
I like the chicken.
I remember home made fences when I was a very little girl in the city.
T, looks fairly decent. But I have to ask myself whey they put Texas up like that. Surely they remember what state they are in and most of the people who pass by know where they are!!
Hi T, remember me? I've come back to blogging - going to try really hard to get better at it too.
I've missed your fences, hope you are well. :)
Yes it's weary but if you missin' pastures and fences and what the hold it's beautiful. I would take it any day. Then of course put some horse friendly fence in it's place! Enjoy your pics. Thanks for coming by my Wordfilled Wednesday post. I'll try to post later tonight.
Have a wonderful Friday!
Deliciously funny, I like cock!
Love the weary pasture fence! The longhorn on the gate is neat, and the metal chicken. But this close to Halloween, I worry about that drippy "Texas!" :-)
That is nice, but the next door fence is my favorite !
The first fence is so neat!
Hi Theresa,
The missing horn of the Longhorn wasn't obvious to me, until you pointed that out. I love the handwritten Texas sign. Charming, if you ask me.
Have a Great Evening!
Peace :)
I really like the "weary pasture fence". Kinda feelin' it right now LOL.
I'm with almost everyone else. Love that Texas sign.
Linking up a bit late in the day. :)
In the last photo it's not only the fence that's tired but also the pasture.
Weary is a good description of the fence that has seen its good days pass by.
Dearest Theresa,
Lovely photos and I'm afraid, somebody 'tipped'...
Good evening! These are wonderful fence shots!
Nice fences, I like the weary old pasture fence though, it has allot of character.
Nice fence shots.
Love the chicken and the 'weary' fence. xo
It is nice they decorate the fences there to make a difference.
Both are good, you have a good collection.
Oh goodness, I have seen a few of those weary pasture fences myself!!
Love this post! You have the most unique fences down there!! And bless you for searching and sharing them with us!
The longhorn is lovely even with the missing tip.
i just love that texas longhorn!
Love the longhorn on the gate.
Thanks for stopping by to see my fence for this week.
I need to be more conscious of noticing gates and fences for this meme. Amused by the missing longhorn tip.
It is a nice fence and it looks like a strong one too! Yes that pasture fence looks like it needs a little bit of help.
A lot of nice and beautiful fences with wonderful details also there:-)
Any Texas fence is a friend of mine. Not really a fan of the team but I do love those Shipley boys...they went to school with my kids.
I like a white fence but the shot of the weary fence is my favorite.

The spring parenting program at St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church in the Stirling section of Long Hill Township continues from 9:30 to 11 a.m. on this date with "family communication."
The moderator is Christine Regnault of Green Brook Township, a certified social worker and parent education facilitator. Baby sitting and playtime is available for young children.
The final session, May 31, is on the importance of parenting by example.
For additional information, call Sister Mary Faith, pastoral associate, at the parish house, (908) 647-0118, or Regnault at (908) 222-2069.
Temple Har Shalom, 104 Mount Horeb Road, Warren Township, will host Father Tom Hartman and Rabbi Marc Gellman, the duo dubbed "the God Squad," at 8 p.m.
The pair, who have been called the Siskel and Ebert of spirituality, take on issues of the soul with a humorous, yet sincere and faith-based touch.
Gellman and Hartman have regularly explored spiritual and religious matters on programs such as radio's Imus in the Morning and ABC-TV's "Good Morning America. " They host the "God Squad" interfaith television program, and have co-authored books for adults and children.
An ABC executive said the two are appealing because they "relate religion to a variety of things that are going on in the real world."
Both men are Long Islanders. Gellman is senior rabbi of Beth Torah Synagogue in Melville, N.Y. He has a doctorate in philosophy with a dissertation in medical ethics from Northwestern University. Hartman is director of radio and television for the diocese of Rockville Centre, and has a national radio show, "Journeys Through Rock," syndicated by ABC.
The session will begin with the God Squad offering their mix of schmaltzy humor and religious theory, followed by a dessert celebration and book signing where copies of Gellman and Hartman's books will be available.
Advance tickets are priced at $25; they will be $30 at the door. To purchase tickets or for more information, call the temple at (732) 356-8777.

Introducing the Student Leadership Committee (SLC)
Posted by Staff Writer on September 11, 2012
Hello, fellow students! We are the Student Leadership Committee (SLC). We are a brand new organization on campus. It is our primary goal to make sure each student enjoys their experience here and gets the most out of their education. One of the many functions we wish to perform is to become a liaison between the students and the faculty here at MSB Shakopee. We intend to create a forum open to anybody and everybody to share comments, concerns, and grievances about any topic related to life on campus and your education. Keep an eye on the SLC bulletin board in the commons for upcoming news and events.

text: Scaling Up Data Intensive Science to Campus Grids Douglas Thain Clemson University 25 Septmber 2009 1 http://www.cse.nd.edu/~ccl 2 The Cooperative Computing Lab We collaborate with people who have large scale computing problems. We build new software and systems to help them achieve meaningful goals. We run a production computing system used by people at ND and elsewhere. We conduct computer science research, informed by real world experience, with an impact upon problems that matter. 3 What is a Campus Grid? A campus grid is an aggregation of all available computing power found in an institution: – Idle cycles from desktop machines. – Unused cycles from dedicated clusters. Examples of campus grids: – 700 CPUs at the University of Notre Dame – 9000-11,000 CPUs at Clemson University – 20,000 CPUs at Purdue University 4 Provides robust batch queueing on a complex distributed system. Resource owners control consumption: – "Only run jobs on this machine at night." – "Prefer biology jobs over physics jobs." End users express needs: – "Only run this job where RAM>2GB" – "Prefer to run on machines http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor 5 6 7 8 9 10 Clusters, clouds, and grids give us access to unlimited CPUs. How do we write programs that can run effectively in large systems? 11 Example: Biometrics Research Goal: Design robust face comparison function. F F 0.97 0.05 12 Similarity Matrix Construction 1.0 0.8 0.1 0.0 0.0 0.1 1.0 0.0 0.1 0.1 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.1 0.3 1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.1 Challenge Workload: 60,000 iris images 1MB each .02s per F 833 CPU-days 600 TB of I/O 1.0 13 I have 60,000 iris images acquired in my research lab. I want to reduce each one to a feature space, and then compare all of them to each other. I want to spend my time doing science, not struggling with computers. I own a few machines I can buy time from Amazon or TeraGrid. I have a laptop. Now What? 14 Non-Expert User Using 500 CPUs Try 1: Each F is a batch job. Failure: Dispatch latency >> F runtime. CPU F CPU F CPU F CPU F CPU F HN Try 3: Bundle all files into one package. Failure: Everyone loads 1GB at once. Try 2: Each row is a batch job. Failure: Too many small ops on FS. F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F CPU F CPU F CPU F CPU F CPU F HN Try 4: User gives up and attempts to solve an easier or smaller problem. F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F CPU F CPU F CPU F CPU F CPU F HN 15 Observation In a given field of study, many people repeat the same pattern of work many times, making slight changes to the data and algorithms. If the system knows the overall pattern in advance, then it can do a better job of executing it reliably and efficiently. If the user knows in advance what patterns are allowed, then they have a better idea of how to construct their workloads. 16 Abstractions for Distributed Computing Abstraction: a declarative specification of the computation and data of a workload. A restricted pattern, not meant to be a general purpose programming language. Uses data structures instead of files. Provide users with a bright path. Regular structure makes it tractable to model and predict performance. 17 Working with Abstractions A1 A2 An A1 A2 Bn F AllPairs( A, B, F ) Compact Data Structure Custom Workflow Engine Cloud or Grid 18 All-Pairs Abstraction AllPairs( set A, set B, function F ) returns matrix M where M[i][j] = F( A[i], B[j] ) for all i,j A1 A1 An B1 B1 Bn A1 A2 A3 B1 F F F B2 F F F B3 F F F allpairs A B F.exe AllPairs(A,B,F) F 19 How Does the Abstraction Help? The custom workflow engine: – Chooses right data transfer strategy. – Chooses the right number of resources. – Chooses blocking of functions into jobs. – Recovers from a larger number of failures. – Predicts overall runtime accurately. All of these tasks are nearly impossible for arbitrary workloads, but are tractable (not trivial) to solve for a specific abstraction. 20 21 Choose the Right # of CPUs 22 Resources Consumed 23 All-Pairs in Production Our All-Pairs implementation has provided over 57 CPU-years of computation to the ND biometrics research group over the last year. Largest run so far: 58,396 irises from the Face Recognition Grand Challenge. The largest experiment ever run on publically available data. Competing biometric research relies on samples of 100-1000 images, which can miss important population effects. Reduced computation time from 833 days to 10 days, making it feasible to repeat multiple times for 24 a graduate thesis. (We can go faster yet.) 25 26 Are there other abstractions? 27 All-Pairs Abstraction AllPairs( set A, set B, function F ) returns matrix M where M[i][j] = F( A[i], B[j] ) for all i,j A1 A1 An B1 B1 Bn A1 A2 A3 B1 F F F B2 F F F B3 F F F allpairs A B F.exe AllPairs(A,B,F) F 28 Wavefront( matrix M, function F(x,y,d) ) returns matrix M such that M[i,j] = F( M[i-1,j], M[I,j-1], M[i-1,j-1] ) M[0,4] F x d M[0,3] M y M[0,2] y F d d y F x F x F x d M[0,1] x F x d Wavefront(M,F) M[2,4] M[3,4] M[4,4] y y F d d x y F d y F x M[3,2] M[4,3] y F x d M[4,2] y F x d y M[0,0] M[1,0] M[2,0] M[3,0] M[4,0] 29 Some-Pairs Abstraction SomePairs( set A, list (i,j), function F(x,y) ) returns list of F( A[i], A[j] ) A1 A1 A1 An (1,2) (2,1) (2,3) (3,3) F A1 A2 A3 F SomePairs(A,L,F) A2 A3 F F F 30 What if your application doesn't fit a regular pattern? 31 Makeflow part1 part2 part3: input.data split.py ./split.py input.data out1: part1 mysim.exe ./mysim.exe part1 >out1 out2: part2 mysim.exe ./mysim.exe part2 >out2 out3: part3 mysim.exe ./mysim.exe part3 >out3 result: out1 out2 out3 join.py ./join.py out1 out2 out3 > result 32 Makeflow Implementation bfile: afile prog prog afile >bfile queue tasks makeflow master worker worker worker worker worker worker detail of a single worker: work queue tasks done 100s of workers dispatched to the cloud put prog put afile exec prog afile > bfile get bfile Two optimizations: Cache inputs and output. Dispatch tasks to nodes with data. afile worker prog bfile 33 Experience with Makeflow Reusing a good old idea in a new way. Easy to test and debug on a desktop machine or a multicore server. The workload says nothing about the distributed system. (This is good.) Graduate students in bioinformatics running codes at production speeds on hundreds of nodes in less than a week. Student from Clemson got complex biometrics workload running in a few weeks. 34 Putting it All Together Abstraction Web Portal Data Repository Y X F Z Campus Grid 35 BXGrid Schema Immutable Replicas Scientific Metadata Type Subject Eye Color FileID Iris S100 Right Blue 10486 Iris S100 Left Blue 10487 Iris S203 Right Brown 24304 Iris S203 Left Brown 24305 General Metadata fileid = 24305 size = 300K type = jpg sum = abc123… replicaid=423 state=ok replicaid=105 state=ok replicaid=293 state=creating replicaid=102 state=deleting 36 37 38 39 Results from Campus Grid 40 Biocompute 41 42 Parallel BLAST Makeflow 43 44 Abstractions as a Social Tool Collaboration with outside groups is how we encounter the most interesting, challenging, and important problems, in computer science. However, often neither side understands which details are essential or non-essential: – Can you deal with files that have upper case letters? – Oh, by the way, we have 10TB of input, is that ok? – (A little bit of an exaggeration.) An abstraction is an excellent chalkboard tool: – Accessible to anyone with a little bit of mathematics. – Makes it easy to see what must be plugged in. – Forces out essential details: data size, execution time. 45 Conclusion Grids, clouds, and clusters provide enormous computing power, but are very challenging to use effectively. An abstraction provides a robust, scalable solution to a narrow category of problems; each requires different kinds of optimizations. Limiting expressive power, results in systems that are usable, predictable, and reliable.

agile software development (ASD)
In software application development, agile software development (ASD) is a methodology for the creative process that anticipates the need for flexibility and applies a level of pragmatism into the delivery of the finished product. Agile software development focuses on keeping code simple, testing often, and delivering functional bits of the application as soon as they're ready. The goal of ASD is to build upon small client-approved parts as the project progresses, as opposed to delivering one large application at the end of the project.

Printer-Friendly version
It�s also about the most audience-friendly animated movie Disney could have released in Pixar�s downtime between Wall-E and next month�s Up. There�s a talking dog, a sassy cat, a hyperactive hamster, plenty of chase sequences, and did we mention Miley Cyrus?
Bolt (voiced by John Travolta) is the star of the hit television show, eh, Bolt, where he portrays a dog with superpowers named, eh, Bolt, who must rescue his beloved person, Penny (voiced by Cyrus), from the nefarious Dr. Calico (voiced by Malcolm McDowell) every week before the half-hour is up.
Only trouble is, Bolt thinks the whole thing (including his Superbark and laser vision) is real--primarily because the crew has duped him into believing so. But what happens if Bolt sees the boom mic? Or if the smell from the crafts service table drifts too close to Bolt�s range? And when does the makeup department apply the canine�s trademark lightning bolt �birthmark?� Surely if Bolt notices a crew member slapping black paint on his side he�ll realize that it�s all fake, right?
Probably, so wouldn�t--ooh!, nevermind, look at the colors!, they�re so�vibrant�
Anyway, so what�s Bolt to do when an episode ends in a cliffhanger with the villain kidnapping Penny? What any animated mutt would do: escape his cage, get lost in an alien land, pick up a few other lonely critters--an alley cat named Mittens (voiced by Susie Essman) and a chubby, starry-eyed hamster named Rhino (voiced by Disney story artist Mark Walton)--along the way, and trek back home to find his person.
Pretty standard stuff here (think Homeward Bound), but kids won�t mind. Just so long as Bolt saves the day, Mittens does a good deed, and Rhino steals enough scenes to warrant a 12� plush toy to be sold in every major retail chain in America.
Disney regulars Byron Howard and Chris Williams directed Bolt to an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature Film. It lost to Wall-E, and that�s the second mention of the Oscar winner in this review, neither one forced. Bolt doesn�t touch even Pixar�s weakest, but, hey, it has Miley Cyrus and a talking dog.
Super Rhino (4:26): This short, promoted heavily in TV ads for the Blu-ray/DVD, puts the lovable hamster in the role of hero as he attempts to rescue Bolt and Penny from the hands of Calico.
Deleted Scenes (6:37): There are only two here (�Dog Fight in Vegas,� �River Sequence�), both of which are presented as story reels (which may bum younger fans) and with optional introductions by directors Chris Williams and Byron Howard.
In Session with John Travolta and Miley Cyrus (0:59), which features amusing footage of John Travolta singing in the studio, and the Music Video for the Golden Globe-nominated song, �I Thought I Lost You,� serve as suiting additions.
Bolt�s Be-Awesome Mission: This game lets fans guide Bolt (aided by Rhino) through three levels to save Penny. What are those three levels exactly? I wouldn�t know--I didn�t make it past the warehouse.
A New Breed of Directors: A Filmmakers� Journey (4:34): Backed by behind-the-scenes footage and clips, first-time directors Williams and Howard explain the process that goes into creating an animated feature, such as racing from meeting to meeting and spending time in a giant hamster ball. Short but fun.
Act, Speak! The Voice of Bolt (9:50): This featurette takes a look at the cast (Travolta, Cyrus, et al.) and their voice work using interviews, recording session footage, and clips.
Creating the World of Bolt (6:46) goes into the textured look of the animated film, utilizing interviews and useful clips from Bolt to support the crew�s case.
Also included are a handful of Art Galleries (�Character Design,� �Color Script,� �Storyboard Art,� �Visual Development�) and Sneak Peeks.
Identical to the Blu-ray disc, but with fewer features.

In two seasons, only one team has been able to come to Coleman Coliseum and beat the UA men's basketball team. And they're back.
In two seasons, only one team has been able to come to Coleman Coliseum and beat the University of Alabama men's basketball team.
They're back.
The Arkansas Razorbacks, who snapped Alabama's 20-game home winning streak last year by administering a costly 66-63 defeat, will try to snap a couple of slightly shorter - but still significant - streaks tonight in a Southeastern Conference West Division showdown at 7 p.m.
Alabama has re-established its homecourt winning streak at 14 games and, more importantly, has reeled off five straight SEC wins to take the outright lead in the league race. It has also earned the17-3 Tide its highest national ranking in almost 15 years, currently No. 7 in The Associated Press poll.
Complacency will not be a problem, however, with Arkansas coming to town.
"It's just like if you and I play chess," Tide coach Mark Gottfried said. "If you beat me, I'm going to want to play you again. And if you beat me twice, and I am a competitor, I'm really going to want a shot at you the third time.
"We know what happened against Arkansas last year and we are competitors, so we are looking forward to it. But they are going to come in here confident that they can win, because they have done it before."
Confidence was a bit of a problem earlier as the Razorbacks suffered through a four-game league losing streak. An impressive win over Florida snapped that skid, though. The Hogs' Jannero Pargo earned SEC Player of the Week honors with 35 points in that game.
Pargo's final basket, a 14-footer with 2.7 seconds left in overtime, sealed Arkansas' 94-92 victory.
"He deserves [Player of the Week]," Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson said. "I guarantee you he sure delivered that game. I just hope we can continue a semblance what he did with more help."
Pargo did not start the game, and it's hard to predict which lineup Richardson will use in this game. (The Razorbacks started 19 different combinations last year.) Regardless of who starts, Arkansas will use almost all of its bench and try to create a frenetic, full-court pace.
"Nolan has won 500 games, so he is not going to change what he does," Gottfried said. "You just have to be prepared for it. Last year, we did not do a good job of taking care of the basketball. It seemed like we turned it over 1,000 times, but we still had a chance to win at the end."
Alabama actually had 28 turnovers in the 66-63 loss. It was also the worst game of Tide star Rod Grizzard's career; he finished with just two points on 1-of-11 shooting.
Grizzard enters tonight's game leading Alabama in scoring at 15.2 points per game. Erwin Dudley averages 15.1 points and a team-high 8.4 rebounds per game.
Razorback star and leading scorer Brandon Dean, who injured a knee two games ago, played against Florida and will see action tonight.
"Dean did OK," Richardson said. "He didn't score much but he played some nasty defense."

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Both speed reps and build endurance.
my 10k time came down nearly 3 minutes in marathon training this year.
keep building up your long slow runs, but also do some speed work, with practise it just comes down.
7-8 isn't bad, and not from technical knowledge, but from my own experience I would say when you can comfortably do 10-11k then you are less afraid to give it absolutely everything in your 5k.
you need to be prepared to fail and have the odd time where you go way to quick and just accept sometimes it can go wrong and jog/walk in, but then you can try again the week after
Also have a look on here.
I learnt from my worse failure at 5k. I ran in subzero temps in t-shirt n shorts and had an asthma attack, I learnt A wear warmer clothes, B all thst happens when you fail is you don't get a time, that's it... Shrug your shoulders and plan the next campaign (oh and have an inhaler around if it's really awful conditions).
You're not likely to improve very much with 'a week of training'. I think you should leave it at least a month, and try making one or two of your runs a bit longer than 5k. If the parkrun is the longest run you usually do it's not surprising you find it hard. Why not skip parkrun for three weeks and spend that time building up to 6, 7 then 8k slowly by yourself before you have another go?
Re-think this Scottish i think. Maybe start a C25K plan?

Oh yeah, my bad .
What millsy says

Stop talking and typing and train.
I'm not feeling too sympathetic towards such a poster. They're just not doing anything to warrant improvement. They just want it.
