In-Game Blog/Box Score
DENVER – Sophomore Wesley Berg (Coquitlam, British) recorded career-highs in points (9) and goals (8) as the No. 4 seeded University of Denver men's lacrosse team defeated Albany 19-14 Saturday evening in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament at Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium. With the victory, the Pioneers move to 13-4 on the season and advance to take on North Carolina in the quarterfinals in Indianapolis, Ind. Albany finishes its season with a 13-5 record.
The game was played in front of a record crowd of 2,621 fans, surpassing the previous record of 2,575 that was set in 2011 as the Pioneers hosted Villanova in the first-ever NCAA Tournament game played West of the Mississippi.
The game brought Berg's season tallies to 52 goals and 67 points.
Senior Eric Law (Centennial, Colo.) finished with five points on four goals and one assist, while classmate Cameron Flint (Georgetown, Ontario) tallied four goals.
Freshman Gordie Koerber (Baltimore, Md.) ended the evening with three assists and sophomore Eric Adamson (Anaheim Hills, Calif.) recorded one goal and three assists. Sophomore Sean Cannizzaro (Cazenovia, N.Y.) scored a pair of goals. Senior Chase Carraro (Louisville, Ky.) won 22-of-35 face-offs and finished with nine ground balls.
Lyle Thompson led the Great Danes with four goals and one assist, while Miles Thompson finished with one goal and five assists. Ty Thompson tallied three goals. Tim Cox scored two goals, while Derrick Eccles and Matt Garziano ended with one goal and one assist apiece.
Albany found the net first 2:30 into the game, but the Pioneers responded less than 30 seconds later with a goal from Cannizzaro to tie the contest. The Great Danes retook the lead with a pair of tallies, before back-to-back goals from Berg and Law brought the score to 3-3 with just over three minutes remaining in the first quarter, and the teams ended the period with the score level.
Cox found the net for Albany to give the Great Danes a 4-3 edge early in the second frame, but Berg recorded two straight goals to give DU its first lead of the game with 9:37 left in the second quarter. The edge didn't last long, however, as Albany retied the contest just over 40 seconds later, but Berg returned the advantage to the Pioneers with his fourth goal of the game, 5:30 before the intermission. Denver parlayed Berg's tally into four unanswered goals, before the Great Danes scored the final goal of the period, and the Pioneers took a 9-6 lead into halftime.
Albany opened the scoring in the second half, as Cox found the net less than three minutes into the third quarter. Law answered to put the Pioneers in double-figures with a score of 10-7, but the Great Danes hit the target seven seconds later to cut the lead back to two. Berg completed the sock-trick with just under eight minutes remaining in the third quarter, and then tallied his second-straight score to give DU a 12-8 lead. The Great Danes responded with two-straight goals, but Flint broke the run with two minutes left in the third frame, sparking a 3-0 DU run to close the period.
Flint scored first in the fourth quarter to stretch DU's run to four unanswered, but the Great Danes answered with two goals of their own, before Flint tallied his second score of the frame to give DU a 17-12 lead three-minutes into the period. Albany came back with a pair of goals, but the Pioneers held on for the five-goal victory, as Berg and Flint scored the final two goals for the Pioneers.
The Pioneers will face North Carolina on Sunday, May 19 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis at either 10 a.m. or 12:30 p.m. MT. The game will air live on ESPNU/WatchESPN.

|Re: memory_locking_policy parameter in cassandra.yaml for disabling swap - has this variable been renamed?
|Fri, 29 Jul 2011 01:13:02 GMT
Hi, yes I was looking for this config as well. This is really simple to achieve: Put the following line into /etc/security/limits.conf cassandra - memlock 32 Then, start Cassandra as the user cassandra, not as root (note there is never a need to run Cassandra as root, all functionality can be achieved from a normal user by changing the right configs). In the log you will see: [2011-07-29 13:06:46,491] WARN: Unable to lock JVM memory (ENOMEM). This can result in part of the JVM being swapped out, especially with mmapped I/O enabled. Increase RLIMIT_MEMLOCK or run Cassandra as root. (main CLibrary.java:118) Done. If you want enable mlockall again, simply change the above 32(k) value to the size of your RAM (e.g. 17825792 for a 16GB machine). We also have turned off mmap altogether and never had any memory issues again. swap is happily enabled. We currently prefer stability over performance. Cheers, T.

Hey TRX, what climbed up your butt??
(sorry I wasn't looking at you. I have to look at my keyboard :-)
Where I grew up, it was normal to shake hands if you were being introduced to someone, or when closing a transaction. Every now and then you'd get some jerk who tried to break your hand, but that was an accepted hazard.
I'd noticed some years ago that shaking hands has pretty much gone away. I'd stick my hand out, and people would just stare, like I'd committed some horrendous social impropriety. And on the rare occasions when someone responds, they just sort of stick their hand out and flap it around, or they only shake with two fingers, like they're trying to minimize contact.
Like actually looking at someone when you're talking to them, I guess the handshake has fallen out of popular American culture.
I can let the handshake go, I guess, but I'm kind of an asshole about insisting clerks, waiters, and salespeople actually look at me before I'll deal with them. I've been thinking about carrying one of those little Freon boat horns in an old Leatherman holster to I can attract their attention. I don't care how they do it in the barrio or MTV, you LOOK at me when I'm talking to you, you little snot...
Hey TRX, what climbed up your butt??

The "staring everywhere but at you" bullsh*t when in fast food joints, convenience stores, etc.... chaps my @$$. Usually a black girl at the counter when it happens, although not exclusively.
I definitely like to shake hands when it's appropriate, the Leftists/Germophobes be damned.
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
all very true . people dont hold doors open at stores anymore as much .
In Wisconsin its worse than in California. Maybe because the weather is worse.
I dont need to to touch every one but I will on meeting a new person when introduced, or during a bussiness transaction.
Im more worried on how to get out of a public rest room with out touching the door after I wash my hands LOL

wtf I never posted twice above i got this.This forum requires that you wait 10 seconds between posts. Please try again in 8 seconds
I moved from the thread an came back to doble posts Im getting the above message on all my replys .
It's the "new" generation when girls look like boys and boys look and act like girls. Heck, nobody knows who to shake hands with or hold the door open for.
Heck..I don't want to shake most of these commies hand. But I by God look em in the eye!
This post is what I love about Gunco. Un-adulterated truth's that REAL American's can speak on, and voice their beliefs on. Notice I said REAL Americans, that's one of the biggest problems right there. REAL Americans are few and far in between, and everyday are becoming more and more of the minority themselves due to our countries leadership (or lack there of).
Shaking hands, eye contact, waving back at your neighbor, teaching our children to respect people to their senior, patriotism, ENGLISH, etc....is all going to the wayside due to the ever diminishing population of REAL AMERICANS.
And no, I'm not having a bad day....I'm just a 29 year old man whom is sick of having to get dirty looks and rude behavior on a daily basis from people. I personally feel you see more of this behavior in the Hispanic races. Maybe its a mixture of shitty upbringing, and resentment towards Americans for having/being entitled to more (except Welfare). Its not our fault you had to move and start from scratch.....Someone should tell them that there lives would be better if they at least TRIED to assimilate into our culture. But nope, instead you get foreign flags being flown on OUR Independence Day, press 1 for English, catch an attitude because you can't order a McDouble en Espanol, and higher taxes to cover the billions of dollars that is being bilked from our economy by illegals who send every penny home to never touch our economy. And like I said, I see this attitude in all races and ethnicites. White trash is prevalent now more than ever....it just grinds me a little more when the person who is being "a little snot" or @sshole, has broken federal laws to be here but yet still is able to receive enough welfare to only have to work 15 hours a week.
Enough of my rant. My apologies if I offend anybody. I just love my country and see the things I love about it growing farther and farther away everyday. It's sad my 2 boys (5 and 9 months) will never know what this country is supposed to be like.

Hell your Damn Lucky if you can even get someone to acknowledge that you are even there ,, because there to busy texting/tweeting , or what to fuck ever,,,Good Lord
Well TRX,,, guess your just showing your age now,,, you date back to the date of civility and respect for others. Shaking hands ain't what it used to be anyways,, what ya git now if your lucky is a limp wristed clumsy attempt at a handshake,,,then there put out by having to.

It is extremely hard to deny that Mass Effect 2 is one of the best games currently on the market. Personal taste will determine where it falls on your gaming hierarchy, but it's still undeniable that it's a wonderful game. Mass Effect 2 worked very hard to improve its combat system over the first Mass Effect game and cut out a lot of the unnecessary fat, and while it did a good job at this, there were a number of things the original Mass Effect did very well that didn't make it into the sequel for one reason or another.
My personal grievance is the loss of some of the most thrilling opponents from the original game. Mass Effect 2's cover shooter gameplay is on the whole more exciting than the combat of the first game, but the enemies themselves aren't particularly meaningful — each enemy that pops up feels like little more than more meat being thrown into a grinder with very few exceptions — the Scion enemies force you out of cover temporarily and the melee opponents that flank you do the same, but their appearances are rare outside of the core, mandatory missions against the Collectors. Beyond that, combat is essentially: enemy sticks their head out, enemy dies.
Personally, I see a few ways they could mix up combat again in the upcoming Mass Effect 3.
Bring back the Geth Hopper
The leaping, wall-crawling son of a bitch at the top of this post is the stuff of nightmares. The unit is pitched as a "cyberwarfare platform" in the in-game universe and it does its job well. Not only does the hopper scramble your on-screen radar while it's present and blind you to your enemies' locations (assuming you don't have the appropriate upgrades), it also adds additional dimensions to the combat. When the geth hopper is involved, you can't just look straight ahead and take a headcount of what you're fighting. The hopper could be on the ground, but it could also be overhead or on the walls, taking cheap shots at you while it scurries out of the line of fire.
A close friend of mine, one of the rare few that disliked Mass Effect 2, describes its combat as "hiding behind conveniently placed boxes while spraying bullets down a hallway." That's an extreme oversimplification of the game, but it's true in the most basic sense. There are very few enemies and encounters that force you to pay attention to what's going on anywhere but directly in front of you. The reintroduction of the hopper (or new enemies similar to it) could change the dynamic of combat in a big way.
Geth in general are also less intimidating in Mass Effect 2, largely because the cover shooter gameplay makes them feel less intelligent, less predatory. The geth could be downright terrifying in the original Mass Effect, employing snipers in high, hidden nests while throwing shock troops, armatures, and colossuses at you. The geth are supposed to be scary opponents, but in Mass Effect 2 they were a mild inconvenience, even in Tali'Zorah's recruitment quest wherein you actually are put up against a colossus. Unfortunately, the single colossus you encounter is completely stationary and poses no real threat whatsoever while you funnel the geth ground troops through a single pathway of your choice.
Bring back the hoppers, bring back the armatures and the colossuses, and let's make the geth scary again.
Bring back the krogan
Oh yeah, there were krogan all over Mass Effect 2, but did any of them ever strike fear into your heart? Krogan in the original Mass Effect were dangerous brutes that, if you let them close to melee range, would completely ruin your day. There weren't very many of them, but the ones you encountered were damn mean and damn meaningful.
In Mass Effect 2, the krogan are plentiful. There are encounters where you kill them by the dozen, and one of the recruitment quests specifically throws weak, mass-produced krogan at you — almost like the game is fully aware that these giant, imposing berserkers are no longer notable. Throughout the game you also encounters the krogan-led Blood Pack mercenaries, made up of the monstrous krogan and the diminutive vorcha — the universe's sentient vermin. In encounters with the Blood Pack, it's rarely the krogan that sets you on edge. You see it, gun it down, and move on with your life. The vorcha with their rocket launchers, flamethrowers, and insane health regeneration that demands no less than a headshot to put them down are far more frightening.
Mass Effect 3 needs the krogan of the first Mass Effect, not the glorified moving target of Mass Effect 2. When a krogan charges me, I want to be worried.
More flanking, melee enemies
Mass Effect 2's husks are one of the few enemies in that game that make you realize how vulnerable Commander Shepard and his/her teammates can be. Until you've acquired a significant number of upgrades, a husk rush can swarm over your team, drag your allies to the ground in an instant, and force Shepard into a terrified retreat. That's a good thing. The husks (and to a lesser extent the fishdog varren) flank you, flush you out of cover, and suddenly you're under fire from all of the enemies you were safely hiding from behind a box.
These enemies were used to great effect in the few core missions against the Collectors, the game's primary opponents, but very rarely beyond that. The rarity of in-your-face combat in this game (unless you played a vanguard, of course) not only made combat very repetitive after awhile, it also made some of your teammate options less attractive. The only time you would want your allies using shotguns is when they were equipped with the DLC shotguns that turned them into long-range weapons. They had no opportunities to use these weapons up close, so a large aspect of those characters was essentially useless.
In Mass Effect 3, I would like to see some more short range and mid-range combat that forced you to adapt to the situations and use your teammates that specialize in that kind of combat. Use your tough, tank-like characters, use the characters that are strong short-range fighters, build a perimeter and hold out against the swarm.
To sum up
Mass Effect 2 is one of my all-time favorite games, but the transition from Mass Effect 1's engine to Mass Effect 2's engine definitely carried a bit of the "baby and the bathwater" issue with it. If BioWare builds Mass Effect 3 up using what they've learned from both of its predecessors, we're in for one hell of ride. I don't want them to ignore the great things that weren't carried over from the first installment of the series, because there's still a lot of potential there waiting to be used.
Mass Effect 2 fell into the trap of assuming that because different enemies use different spells, that must mean combat will be diverse. That's not true. You need variety in aesthetics and motions as well — the first Mass Effect nailed that, but the sequel fell short. Mass Effect 3 has an opportunity to integrate the strengths of both games and I hope they achieve that.

Thanks to my GOOD friends Charlie, Whisper's family, and Abbie's family for the nice birthday balloons and Hugs..... We are all fine and are going to make time to write more. I made Mom promise to hold me up to the computer, so my little Frenchie Feet can type out some letters.
I got a bath for my birthday..... Thanks a lot Mom....
Wow, it has been a while since I wrote in my diary... That is so funny, the last time it was 100 degrees and too hot to go for a walk. Now it is freezing and too cold to go for a walk. At least I get to go in the car and sleep on the seat while my Mom does Christmas errands...
ps. there is always someone in the car with me. Mom would be scared to leave me along.
Merry Christmas everyone.... Hope we all get nice presents tomorrow. Cookies, chew toys, squeakies and everything....
My Mom tried to take me for a Birthday walk this morning at 7am. before it gets to be 100 degrees up here in the Northeast. I had a GOOD time, but she had to cut the walk even shorter than down to the bridge and back because she spent all her time reaching WAY down (I am a short little girl) and brushing biting yellow flies off my ears.
So it is going to be another day of being stuck in the house today. She better buy me a special toy......

A Filipino man has lost his right to remain in Britain after his wife was unlawfully killed in an NHS blunder as she gave birth to their child, it emerged yesterday.
Arnel Cabrera came to the UK in 2003 after his wife, Mayra, was recruited to work as a nurse at the Great Western hospital in Swindon. She died in 2004 at the same hospital when an epidural anaesthetic was injected into her arm rather than her spine.
At an inquest earlier this year a jury ruled she had been unlawfully killed. Cabrera, 39, had hoped to begin a new life in Britain with his son, Zac, who is four tomorrow, but was told he would have to leave because his right to stay depended on his wife working as a nurse.
Alex Rook, the solicitor who handled Cabrera's immigration case, said: "This is an absolutely dreadful decision. If Arnel's wife had not been killed the family would be living happily here.
"But because his wife is killed by one part of the government - the NHS - then Arnel is told by another part of the government that he has to leave."
Unusually, the coroner who heard the inquest also criticised the decision. David Masters, the Wiltshire coroner, said: "This is extraordinary. I find it difficult to appreciate how the Home Office has reached this decision."
Cabrera's letter of refusal from the UK Border Agency said: "It is considered that [he] has not established a family life with his son in the United Kingdom.
"As his son remains in the Philippines there are no insurmountable obstacles to his family life being continued overseas."
Cabrera's legal team said he had taken Zac back to the Philippines to be looked after by family members until the inquest and other legal proceedings were concluded. But he had always hoped to build a life in the UK.
Cabrera, who was a technician at the Great Western hospital, said in a statement: "It had been Mayra's wish that the both of us should make a new life for ourselves in Swindon and to see our son grow up in this country.
"Sadly, due to a tragic error at our local hospital, Mayra was taken away from me. As well as losing a much-loved wife, I now face the strong possibility that I will also lose my adopted home too."
A spokesman for the Home Office said: "All applications for leave to enter or remain are carefully considered on their individual merits."

The light enables you to see the time at night and the alarm would wake up the dead. The clock dial is in decent perfect condition with the original hands. T he chrome or nickle plated steel case is in decent to very good condition with some small rust spots, not that bad. These clocks originally had an extension cord with a switch that allowed one to remotely light the dial to see the time at night {terminals intact on rear}. No battery included. The EIGHT day movement ticks and stops. This is a clean example for those who collect novelty or battery clocks. (see photos) Overall I think the clock looks great. The clock originally had an extension cord with a switch to turn on the light at night in order to see the time. Dimensions: 7 3/4" H X 12 3/4" W X 5 3/4" D.

5 Things You Need to Know This Week
Every Monday we bring you the SL Hot List, a round up of the five latest and greatest things to hit the South. Consider it your weekly update on our region's most buzzworthy food, culture, and style news.
1. Atlanta gallery goes mobile. Jennifer Schwartz, owner of the eponymous gallery in Atlanta, has been on the road bringing photography to the people in a 1977 VW bus named Lady Blue. Her two-month tour, Crusade for Collecting, is her one-woman mission to introduce the public to new photographers, encourage art collecting, and support emerging artists. She's got two more stops on her tour–Washington, D.C. on Wednesday and Richmond, Virginia, on Sunday–where's she'll be giving away signed photos and speaking about her cause.
2. New South Carolina restaurant. Chef and owner Ken Vedrinski's newest venture, Coda del Pesce, opens officially today on Isle of Palms. The restaurant's menu takes its cues from the sea but (like his other spots) still retains Ken's signature Italian slant: dishes include octopus bolognese and grilled calamari with tomato and eggplant. You'll want to eat the fresh catch and house-made pastas at a table near the floor-to-ceiling windows–we hear the the views are incredible.
3. Southern summer read. First-time author Anton DiSclafani drew from her own North Florida childhood riding horses for The Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls out Tuesday. Anton's teenage heroine Thea Atwell is forced to leave her family's Florida farm at the height of the Great Depression after a tragedy. She finds herself navigating the social scene at a faraway boarding school in the Blue Ridge Mountains while wrestling with her past. (You can find Anton in North Carolina, Texas, and Florida at her book signings in June.)
4. To-go sweets in Virginia and Kentucky. We'd have a hard time picking between the almond croissant or the Nutella cream doughnut at the new food cart Hot Hot Bakery in Arlington, Virginia. Thankfully, the owners (who ate and baked their way through France for a year) are out four days a week serving up sweets (as well as gourmet sandwiches). Louisville's Proof on Main is taking their dessert on the road with a gelato cart at the corner of Seventh and Main on Thursdays. Follow @proofgelato to see what they're scooping–the cart's first flavors included a blueberry-lemon sorbet.
5. Knoxville Film & Music Festival. The two-week festival kicked off on Saturday with a full week filled with jazz, rock, and hip-hop concerts at venues all around town. The film week runs June 10-15 and features horror flicks, a short-film competition, and music-themed movies. Our pick is Big Easy Express, a rocking documentary featuring three of our favorite bands, Old Crow Medicine Show, Mumford & Sons, and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, on a cross-country train ride from California to New Orleans.
5 1/2. Southern chefs in the Big Apple. We've already shared our favorite spots for getting sweet tea, fried chicken, and other Southern staples in New York City. This week, the South truly takes over the city with three big dinners at the James Beard House and the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party. If you're in town early, Chris Hastings and other Alabama chefs will be cooking dinner at the Beard House on Wednesday. (On Thursday, chef Sean O'Connell prepares a Virginia-sourced meal while on Saturday night, a slew of chefs from Jackson, Mississippi, put on a "Southern Comfort Redux" dinner.) And finally, pitmasters and chefs from around the region and members of the SL staff descend upon Madison Square Park for the main event. 'Cue fans can look forward to demos, live music, oysters from Wintzell's Oyster House, and of course, plenty of pork.

"We are definitely at a crossroads," Chan says. "Hong Kong people are growing increasingly angry and frustrated, and I think something has to give."
But not everyone agrees.
"I think Beijing is doing a good job in China. And the Communist government in Beijing is doing all the right things about Hong Kong that it's supposed to be doing," said Robert Chow, spokesman for the group Silent Majority, which opposes a plan by pro-democracy protesters to paralyze the city's financial center.
"Hong Kong is the proverbial rabbit who thinks he's going to beat the tortoise forever, but they forget that's not the tortoise. It's a super tortoise that runs fast or faster," he said.

KENWOOD — Penns Manor pulled off a fourth-quarter comeback, then hung on by the skin of its teeth, beating Northern Cambria, 21-20, in a classic opening-night Heritage Conference football game Friday at Pat Corrigan Field.
The Comets trailed 14-7 entering the fourth quarter but engineered two scoring drives capped by Lucas Kowalski touchdown runs of 62 and 17 yards, respectively, to pull ahead, 21-14.
Northern Cambria's Mac Novella returned the ensuing kickoff 69 yards, setting the Colts up at the Penns Manor 9-yard line with 2:37 to play, and quarterback Dartagnan Suchar scored on a 2-yard run on fourth-and-goal.
On Northern Cambria's third time lining up for the extra point, Suchar was stacked up at the goal line to preserve the Penns Manor lead.
The Colts originally lined up to kick, but, taking their time, managed to call timeout just before the play clock expired. After the break Northern Cambria came out and ran the ball. Kowalski stopped Tyler Pershing but was flagged for grabbing the facemask. Penns Manor's stout defensive front stopped Suchar on the next attempt, after the ball was moved up to the 1½-yard line.
Penns Manor's Louie Tate scored on a 2-yard run in the first quarter to open the scoring.
Nolan Paronish scored on a 50-yard run to pull Northern Cambria within 7-6 going into the half. The Colts pulled ahead, 14-7, when Suchar scored from 2 yards, then ran it in again for the two-point conversion.
Kowalski finished with a game-high 157 yards rushing, 104 of which came in the second half.
Suchar led Northern Cambria, running for 93 yards, and Nolan Paronish gained 86.

Interpersonal skills training for optometry students: What should be taught?
Thompson, Briony M. & Lovie-Kitchin, Jan E. (1988) Interpersonal skills training for optometry students: What should be taught? Journal of Optometric Education, 13(3), pp. 84-88.
In recent years, greater recognition has been given to the need to systematically train optometry students in specific interpersonal skills. One difficulty facing the teacher responsible for such a program is to decide what skills need to be taught. It is the purpose of this paper to review research on health professionals' interpersonal skills and to provide a theoretical basis for the selection of material to be included in a program for optometry students. From this basis, specific recommendations on the necessary skills will be made.

U.S. Senator Bob Corker, R-Tenn., a member of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, today announced that he has lifted his hold on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau privilege bill (S. 2099), which prevents the public disclosure of sensitive, customer information from the bureau's regulated entities. Corker also announced that he is an original cosponsor of legislation (S.3394) that combines the CFPB privilege bill (S. 2099) with the ATM sign bill (S. 3204).
"It is unfortunate but clear that there will be no real discussion of any changes to Dodd-Frank before the election, and I don't want to interfere with any firm's ability to adequately protect their customers' privileged information," said Corker. "I'm glad the CFPB privilege issue is being resolved and has been combined with the ATM bill so that community banks and credit unions in Tennessee and across the country don't have to face frivolous lawsuits over redundant disclosure requirements."
Current law requires ATMs to notify customers of transaction fees, both through posted placards and information on the digital displays. This dual notification requirement has generated lawsuits against ATM operators in cases where signs were removed by vandals or plaintiffs themselves. The ATM sign legislation amends the law to require only one form of notification for fees at ATMs to prevent these fraudulent lawsuits that drive up costs for consumers.

Bloomberg and Quinn Spend Time with Food Manufacturers at Expo
On the city's first annual Food Day Monday, an array of tempting foods and delicacies were on display at Baruch College. Mayor Bloomberg and Speaker Christine Quinn marked the day by attending the first city-sponsored food manufacturing expo.
Over 100 food manufacturers attended the expo, representing the kind of small businesses that Mayor Bloomberg said were critical to the city's economic recovery. New York entrepreneurs from around the world were the focus of the expo.
Immigrant-owned businesses are the most numerous amongst the city's new food-related ventures, said Seth Pinsky, president of the city's Economic Development Corporation, but they have a higher rate of failure than their non-immigrant counterparts.
"Immigrant businesses tend to have very good local networks," he said, "but because by definition the people that own them haven't been in the country as long as non-immigrants, those networks are not as strong nationwide."
The food expo event was one attempt to address that problem, according to Pinsky.
The expo also launched a new competition open to New York City immigrant entrepreneurs. Four businesses will be chosen to receive sponsorship from the city's Economic Development Corporation to attend the National Association of Specialty Food Trade Summer Fancy Food Show next June in Washington, D.C.
Almost a year to the day since the launch of Speaker Christine Quinn's FoodWorks initiative for a sustainable food system, Quinn said she was eager to promote improvements in the food sector as a path to job creation and economic development.
"Food is one area particularly with our immigrant and ethnic focus that the mayor mentioned where we could be doing much better than we're doing," Speaker Quinn said. "We can put people to work through food. And the best way to end hunger is to get somebody a job that gives them enough money to feed their family."
Quinn said she wanted to see an increase in the food sourced in New York through initiatives to bring food production and manufacturing home to New York State. She added that after the U.S. military, the government of New York City was the second largest food purchaser in the world, which gave the city enormous purchasing power.
Some products, like romaine lettuce supplied to schools from California-based manufactures, are brought in from other parts of the U.S. because New York lacks necessary manufacturing facilities.
Quinn said the city's exported just 7 percent of goods and services compared to the national average -- 12 percent.

'iZombie' #13 Welcomes Lucky New Readers with New Storyline [Preview]
A repeat offender on ComicsAlliance's "Don't Ask! Just Buy It!" feature, iZombie begins this week a brand new storyline that will give you even fewer excuses not to follow this consistently excellent Vertigo series. Written by Chris Roberson (Superman, Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love) with artwork by Michael Allred (Madman), "Six Feet Under and Rising" finds sexy zombie girl Gwen hanging out with sexy mummy boy Amon, who needs to tell her something important and presumably sexy. You can check out a preview below.iZombie is the story of Gwen, a beautiful young woman who happens to be a zombie. If Gwen doesn't eat a brain regularly, she'll go full-on gross undead-lookin' zombie, so she works as a gravedigger to facilitate her dark needs. But when Gwen eats a brain, she's compelled to sort out whatever unfinished business the deceased has left behind. Sometimes that is making peace with loved ones, but most often it's about solvingghoulish mysteries along the lines you would expect from the creators of Madman and Fables spinoff Cinderella. There are also vampires and monster hunters running around, but luckily Gwen has her friends Spot the were-terrier and Ellie the mod girl ghost to watch her back. The first chunk of stories has been collected in a lovely paperback volume you can buy here.
On sale this week, iZombie #13 beings the "Six Feet Under and Rising" storyline, in which mummy man Amon requests a meeting with Gwen (who's hoping it's not a date) while the series' vampire girls collect a new soul. Also beginning in issue #15 is a new series of backup stories starring the Dead Presidents, a group of government agents whose mission will make life, such as it is, for Gwen and her friends a lot more annoying.
You can buy iZombie #13 this Wednesday at finer comic shops or order it online from Things From Another World.
Written by CHRIS ROBERSON
Art and cover by MICHAEL ALLRED
This issue marks the beginning of the new story which will play out in "real time" over the course of the coming issues. In May, 2011, zombie girl Gwen and her friends solve a mystery just in time to keep an even more mysterious appointment with Amon, the sexy mummy, while the vampire girls add a new member to their number and the monster hunters prowl the streets. And in the first of a series of backup stories, we meet a group of government agents who will soon be making life very difficult for Gwen and company. But who are the Dead Presidents?

According to BASSTrakk, Aaron Martens has closed the gap on Brandon Palaniuk this morning. After all the back and forth between Martens and Rick Morris concerning fishing spots over the past two days, it's a good bet that "The Natural" is relieved that Morris missed the cut (42nd) and isn't on the water today.
When Martens is focused on his fishing and not distracted by other things, he's as good as there is. And after finishing 84th, 58th and 58th in the first three Elite tournaments this year, he's completely turned things around. This will likely be his third Top 5 finish in the last four events. He's put himself safely in the Bassmaster Classic field for 2013 after a disastrous start.

If you've been waiting for your chance to see Hilary Duff in concert, your wait is over! The singer/actress announced her tour dates this past week, and she'll be all over the US during August/September.
In addition, if you can't make it to a show, tune in to NBC's Today show this Friday (6/29) for a live performance of her new single, "Stranger," (currently #4 on TRL).
With tomorrow being the final day in jail for Paris Hilton, the hotel heiress has been busy figuring out how to capitalize on her recent experiences.
Now that deals with NBC and ABC have fallen through, Mike Sitrick, a spokesman for the Hilton family, announced that Paris will be giving her first post-jail interview to CNN's Larry King on Wednesday night (June 27).
With all the scheduling conflicts and flying back and forth for Victoria Beckham lately, NBC has adjusted her reality series to just a one-hour show.
The news comes as a disappointment to many Beckham fans that were hoping to see a lengthy documentary about the singer/fashionista's life in America.
If you were at the Dodgers-Mets game Monday, you may have seen Victoria Beckham, dressed in a Dodgers windbreaker. She attended the game for part of her reality show film schedule, and the cameras were rolling.
Victoria prepped herself for throwing out the first pitch by playing catch with Dodgers pitcher Derek Lowe. After the opening festivities, Posh had a conversation with Tommy Lasorda, a former Dodgers Manager, and current club exec.
With all the drama surrounding the "gay bashing" comments made by Grey's Anatomy's Isaiah Washington, the ABC's verdict is in.
Washington will not be returning for the new season, according to and ABC executive. He said that the decision was tied to Mr. Washington's comments regarding his fellow cast member, T.R. Knight.
With all the hoopla surrounding the Beckham Pilgrimage to America, Victoria Beckham isn't one to lose her perspective. It looks like she has been favoring her option to write a book, rather than the grueling TV filming schedule in order to support her man.
Posh will be writing a book on the subject of interior design. It seems appropriate, being that she is preparing her Los Angeles mansion for her family to occupy. "Victoria's last book was a pretty good seller and the new one looks like a must for those who aspire to decorate their home in an extravagant footballer's wives' style", said Britain's Daily Express.
It's that time of year again… time for the hottest ladies from all over the world to converge on the Miss Universe Pageant. For 2007, Miss Universe has a former pageant beauty to host. Vanessa Minnillo, 1999 Miss Teen USA, took the stage with co-host Mario Lopez to see what this year had to offer.
Good news for America; Miss USA Rachel Smith is in the top 10, despite taking a spill on the runway. If Smith takes the title, she'll be the first Yankee to do so since Brook Lee, back in 1997. She sported an Elvis jumpsuit and a guitar for the opening parade, giving a nod to her Tennessee roots.
After recently obtaining Dannielynn's passport, Larry Birkhead is set to leave the Bahamas for the U.S. today (May 1). Access Hollywood is reporting that the ex-boyfriend of Anna Nicole Smith has plans of taking his daughter back to his Louisville home - so that the two can get on with their lives.
Since The Gossip Girl's last report, Birkhead also has finished the process of having his baby daughter's name officially changed on her Bahamian birth certificate. He is now officially "legally and biologically" Dannielynn Hope Birkhead's father.
If you have ever watched NBC's The West Wing you may know Martin Sheen as the President of the United States of America. Police in Nevada know him as a protester, having cited him for participating in an anti-nuclear demonstration this past Sunday.
Martin Sheen was among a group of peace activists protesting at the Nevada nuke test site. A total of 39 protesters were released after being cited by sheriff's deputies for crossing onto test site property following the rally, test site spokesman Darwin Morgan said.
Three nights of simple family entertainment that made it easy for parents and their children to watch television together helped lead Fox to another dominant week in the ratings.
Fox coupled three episodes of "American Idol" with three installments of the new trivia show "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" in last weeks lineup. Jeff Foxworthy hosts the game show, which shows parents getting stumped by questions from grade school textbooks. It happened to be the most-watched series premiere in eight years (just behind the premiere of "Jesse" which ran in NBC's Thursday night lineup that dominated during its time period) with 27 million viewers.

15 of the Dumbest Mistakes to Avoid This Weekend

On Thursday 28th June the Australian Financial Review reported the Gillard government wants to introduce a 'public interest test' that allows it to pick and choose who is allowed to invest in media companies in Australia.
The Gillard government is also considering a government-funded super-regulator for the media that would impose what politicians consider to be 'balance' and 'fairness'. This anti-democratic idea would allow the government to select those who are supposed to be holding them to account. It comes from the Finkelstein Inquiry recommendations that are an attack on freedom of speech and a free press.
Finkelstein's proposals included awarding a new government regulator the power to censor news by forcing media outlets to remove material from the internet. They would apply not just to major news outlets but also magazines and even blogs. Membership of the regulator would be compulsory – amounting to licensing of newspapers by stealth. And there's only one reason why a government would give a newspaper a license to print news – so that the government can take it away again.
The Left takes this seriously. Enemies of freedom of speech have already bombarded politicians with demands to regulate the media until it becomes more compliant to their agenda. And they've bombarded private media companies with demands to block prospective owners who have the 'wrong views'.
Imagine how the Left would react if a conservative government proposed the sorts of controls on the media that the Gillard government and the Greens want.
We need your help to fight back.
Click here right now to email our politicians and our media companies to tell them that you will not tolerate an attack on your right to hear alternative points of view. You won't tolerate attacks on the media by a government intent on silencing its critics.
Once you've sent an email, here's three more things you can do to help defend a free press and free speech in Australia:
- You can help support the Institute of Public Affairs' Freedom of Speech Fighting Fund – to defend against these and other attacks on free speech.
- You can become a member of the Institute of Public Affairs and join nearly 2,000 other Australians concerned about the attacks on our freedoms.
- You can buy Chris Berg's new book, In Defence of Freedom of Speech: From Ancient Greece to Andrew Bolt to learn more about why free speech matters and why it must be defended.

It is a little chunky isn't it? I originally had Helvetica / Arial, but after the typography critique I figured they wanted headlines to stand out more thus Chunkyfive.
Hi joshharbaugh,
For font-face or typekit, only fonts with appropriate license, EULA permissions can be uploaded to your web site's folder. The font is then downloaded from server side. You can browse through fontsquirrel.com to see already available font-face packages.
This is what I thought, but I wanted to clarify just in case. Thank you very much.
I see a lot of themes using the Cufon and Typekit solutions for better typography, but I'm curious about the legal ramifications of this. Is it legally safe to use a font that the buyer probably doesn't have on their own machine (or a license of period) since it's not the actual font you're embedding but some javascript to tell the font to work?
If anyone knows how this works I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
ok lets say that there should be author credit. so for example I by this:
random choice item: http://graphicriver.net/item/business-card/42866
and the author wants his credit on the printed version on the right butom like: "designed by Blinky Palermo"that would be very funny
Pretty much. It's a "Work For Hire" arrangement folks. Get over it.
Work for Hire in a nutshell.
WordPress builds archive pages with /category/category-name normally, but it's something you can change if you don't like that.
Under Settings -> Permalinks you can change the structure of the way it builds permalinks. If you'd like it to build the links like: yoursite.com/blog instead of yoursite.com/category/blog you can select "Custom Structure" and put
/%postname%/ in that field and save.
Looks like you may have fixed it.
I might make the headlines and headers "pop" more with another font or possibly a bold variant of the current font.
Other than that, it's a very clean layout.
Howdy all,
I am looking for some feedback on my WordPress theme, so that it won't get rejected again. I'm trying to figure out how to address some of the comments, but I'm having some trouble coming up with a solution.
Here's the theme as it stands currently: http://www.pixelhavenllc.com/themes/designingfor/
One of the reasons for rejection was: "Overall template typography needs additional refinements and improvements before it will be ready for ThemeForest." and "The template needs improvements in visual hierarchy primarily using typographic elements such as headings."
Any advice on how to improve the typography & visual hierarchy?
Thanks everyone!
hey mastergreed, I don't care for your user icon. you should change it because thats what I want. my personal opinion is more important than yours. I'm aware your icon isn't really bothering anyone, but I still feel you should change it. now see how annoying that is?
I laughed and totally agree.

Luckily, there are a few things that cat owners can do to deter a cat's persistent desire to climb the counters. Some of the best ways include:
Place Deterrents on the Counter
Many people have reported that this was the most successful strategy in keeping their cat off of the counter tops. Of course, there are a number of ways to go with this one. One way to go is placing light baking sheets on the countertop. When the cat hears the rough, crackling sound, they will become frightened and immediately jump off.
Discipline Your Cat
Whenever your cat jumps on the countertops in front of you, it's important to give discipline and teach him that it is not right. The best ways to discipline a cat include:
Provide Alternative Hangouts
If your cat is jumping on the countertops, it may mean that he doesn't have enough places to hang out. An easy solution to this: provide him with a new post to hang out at. Remember, cats love to be in elevated positions because this helps facilitate their predatory instincts, so providing an elevated place would be best.
Use SssCat
Because of the overwhelming kitty/countertop problem, PetSafe built a specific tool to help: Ssscat. Ssscat is a motion activated spray that can be placed anywhere in the house. The spray is gentle, but will frighten a cat and teach him that certain areas are off limits. Ssscat has a 3 foot spraying range and its deterrent is scentless so you don't have to worry about your cat smelling funky.
All of these methods are aimed at helping you to keep your house clean and sanitary, while making sure you and your cat a great relationship. Enjoy!

In the event, however, I was pleasantly surprised. Halong Bay, in my opinion, fully deserves its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is indeed spectacular, even on a dull day!! The sheer scale of it is awesome - about 2000 limestone islets (I believe the correct geological name is karsts) in an area of approximately 1500 square kilometres. Obviously, we saw only a fraction of this in the few hours when we cruised from Halong City to Cat Ba Island, but we were mesmerised by the beauty of the place. Yes, there were plenty of tourists and fleets of boats similar to ours. We met up with them at intervals throughout the day - the obligatory kayaking stop, the grotto visit, the floating village, etc., but, in between, we motored gently between these magnificent rocks and felt an incredible sense of wonder and of our insignificance in the great scheme of things. Never was this sense more heightened than at dusk when, with the sun disappearing behind the rocks and the temperature falling, the feeling was almost eerie.
Throughout the day, we were also struck by the simplicity of the lives of the people who are born, are educated, work and die on the floating villages in Halong Bay. Traditionally making their living from fishing, increasingly they rely on income from tourists. Inevitably, their way of life is changing - children are going to schools on the mainland, some young adults choose to leave and re-locate to cities, but our guide assured us that there are enough youngsters who want to maintain and build on the traditions handed down to them to ensure the survival of these communitiies.
Travel Tip
Halong Bay can be an expensive place to visit, so we felt fortunate to stumble on a really cheap way to do it! We needed to get from Hanoi to Cat Ba Island and went to a travel agent near our hotel in Hanoi to explore the options. There are various bus/boat/bus or train/boat/bus combinations available, but one of them meant that we would get a cruise around Halong Bay en route. We were taken by bus to Halong City and then, in effect, we joined one of the two-day cruises (the ones where guests pay an arm and a leg to spend a night on board) for the whole day and were dropped off on Cat Ba Island in the evening to be bussed the short distance into town. This trip cost us $18 each which we thought was a bit of a bargain when you see how much they charge for a two-day (or even a one-day) cruise!!
You can see some photos of Halong Bay here.

Gandhinagar, Jan. 11: Two wrinkles today showed up on the otherwise smooth Vibrant Gujarat show put up by Narendra Modi.
R. Nicholas Burns, a former US under secretary of state in the George W. Bush dispensation, referred to religious tolerance and the need to respect different faiths at a US-India Business Council meeting where the chief minister was not present.
Next, a business delegation from Karachi, hoping to meet Modi and explore the prospects of collaborations, was told to stay put in a hotel in Ahmedabad.
The reason was traced to fears that the delegations' presence at the summit might stoke an already combustible situation surrounding the killing of two Indian soldiers on the Line of Control. The BJP today protested in Ahmedabad against the killing.
Sources said the Karachi representatives were politely advised to leave the city, their mission unaccomplished.
The paradoxes in the Gujarat-US equation were reinforced when in the inaugural session, Ron Somers, who heads the business council, extolled Modi and held him as a template that other states must emulate.
The US has still refused to issue Modi a visa because of the 2002 killings. Yet, the presence of Peter Haas, the Mumbai-based US consul-general, evoked curiosity because a senior Gujarat government official claimed Haas had sought an invite for the summit.
In his speech, Somers said: "Congratulations are due. In 2001, when the chief minister began his innings… the progress in 2013 is stunning. You have set a new benchmark in the other states as well. That is that progress trumps politics. Because how many economies, how many countries can boast a GDP of more than 11 per cent? There are very few and Gujarat is at the top of that list."
He signed off with a "Jai Gujarat, God bless America".
A couple of hours later, Burns flagged three points in his address. "America and India should celebrate our multi-religious, inclusive societies. Both respect the right to have different religious forms." He singled out Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as the "greatest shining symbol" of the respect India showed to all religions.
Asked if the US could rethink its position on granting Modi a visa, Burns said: "No, the conditions remain the same." But he added that this was his sense because he was no longer in the government.
Burns, who had visited Delhi eight times as a mediator for the Indo-US nuclear deal, admitted to being disappointed at India's "lack of reciprocity".
"I was one of the negotiators and I can say that the US kept every promise it made to the Indian government. India has not kept its part of the deal. Until India delivers its bit, no investments will come. We deserve reciprocity from the Indian government," Burns said.
Some of those present at the closed session admitted to being taken aback, more so because Burns was there was as a senior counsellor for a global business consulting service.
But Burns said: "I was merely explaining the values the US and India share."

Sturridge's Move to Liverpool Stalls Over Fees: Soccer Roundup
The following is a roundup of soccer stories from U.K. newspapers, with clickable Internet links.
Sturridge Snag
Daniel Sturridge's 12 million-pound ($19.5 million) move from Chelsea to Liverpool may be in jeopardy because of a dispute between the Blues and the player's advisers over agents' fees, the Daily Mail reported.
Liverpool had hoped that Sturridge would have been in a position to undergo a medical exam yesterday so that his transfer could be completed in time for him to be unveiled on Jan. 1, the Mail added.
Sterling to Sign
Liverpool will sign teenager Raheem Sterling to a new five- year contract worth about 40,000 pounds a week, the Sun said.
Sterling, 18, had 18 months to run on his agreement and could have left for about 1 million pounds with Manchester United and Arsenal both ready to move for the England winger, the Sun added.
Remy Receptive
Marseille striker Loic Remy is attracted by the prospect of a move to Newcastle United, which is said to be considering a 10 million-pound bid for the France international, the Daily Express reported.
"They are a very good team," the Express cited Remy as saying. "They are a big club with good players, very good fans and a nice stadium that is always full."
Nasri Blow
Manchester City's Samir Nasri is struggling to be fit for any part of the Premier League champion's Christmas and New Year schedule after being told he can't play for two weeks because of a groin injury, the Daily Mail reported.
The prognosis rules the French forward out of games against Reading, Sunderland and Norwich and puts him in doubt for the Jan. 1 match against Stoke, the newspaper added.
Latics Loan
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez is in talks with Manchester United about signing Chilean striker Angelo Henriquez on loan, the Daily Mirror reported. Henriquez, 18, would provide cover for Arouna Kone while he plays in the Africa Cup of Nations for Ivory Coast, the newspaper added.

tables/grids is in TableForm[], and the other half is in GridBox[]. To get
them to work together seems nontrivial.
Is there a good source on how to use these features? I'm actually very
surprised at the apparent limitations of Mathematica regarding the
fromatting of output. All the pieces are here, but they don't seem well

UPDATE 1-Toshiba faces shareholders with no chip unit deal signed
* Talks with some members of preferred bidder group taking time
* Weak China data push German yields lower
* Italian, Spanish yields stabilise near 2005 lows
By Emelia Sithole-Matarise
LONDON, March 10 German bond yields fell on Monday after weak Chinese economic data triggered concerns about slowing growth in the world's second-biggest economy.
China's exports unexpectedly tumbled in February, data showed at the weekend, tipping the country's trade balance into deficit and souring investor appetite for equities.
Low-risk German Bunds pushed higher, with lingering concern about the situation in Ukraine also helping them make up more ground following last week's sharp sell-off after the European Central Bank showed it was in no hurry to ease policy further.
German yields dipped 1 basis point to 1.64 percent. Other top-rated euro zone bond yields also slipped.
"The disappointing Chinese data caught markets on the hop ... so Asian equities are on the back foot, pushing down equities in Europe and that's giving Bunds a bit of a lift," said RIA Capital Markets strategist Nick Stamenkovic.
"We think it's going to be a struggle for 10-year Bund yields to get below 1.60 percent given the upward surprise in U.S. non-farm payrolls on Friday."
Elsewhere on the market, Italian and Spanish yields held near last week's lows - the lowest since 2005 - as increased confidence in the currency bloc's recovery spurred investors' search for higher returns.
Italian industrial production rebounded more than expected in January, maintaining the upbeat data outlook.
"The periphery is trading fine. It's very hard to fight it. We still think that we could still see 3 percent as a viable target for Spanish and Italian (10-year yields)," a trader said.
Italian 10-year yields were unchanged on the day at 3.43 percent, while Spanish yields were flat at 3.37 percent.
