Exodus teams with StorageNetworks
This Article Covers
Public Cloud
Internet hosting and managed services provider, Exodus Communications, Inc., and storage services provider, StorageNetworks, Inc., have formed a strategic alliance under which the duo will provide scalable storage capacity and Internet hosting services to support PeopleSoft's mission-critical data.
Cloud storage face-off: Public cloud vs. private cloud vs. hybrid cloud storage
Every cloud storage option has its pros and cons. Depending on your specific needs, the size of your environment, and your budget, it's essential to weigh all cloud and on-prem options. Download this comprehensive guide in which experts analyze and evaluate each cloud storage option available today so you can decide which cloud model – public, private, or hybrid – is right for you.

Santa Clara, Calif.-based Exodus will offer the Exodus Storage Services powered by StorageNetworks, Waltham, Mass., as a managed service to its customers, including StorageNetworks BackPACS, DataPACS, SafePACS, and NetPACS services. PACS (protection, availability, continuity, scalability and security) services offer primary data storage, tape backup and restore, along with high availability and business continuity solutions designed to help customers better manage their data storage assets.
"The benefit to customers of Exodus is that they can now choose from a suite of services that can alleviate the burden of managing a sophisticated, expensive and rapidly growing piece of their infrastructure," said William Hurley, program manager for the Boston, Mass., analyst firm, the Yankee Group. Additionally, said Hurley, if the SLAs (Service Level Agreements) offered by StorageNetworks meet the grade, customers may be able to reduce the amount of cage space consumed, thereby saving money, both on storage costs and co-location costs.
"For StorageNetworks, its a great foot in the door. The question is how far will Exodus go to "sell" StorageNetworks," Hurley said. "Exodus gets the benefit of another revenue stream from a value-added service that is only anticipated to grow over the next few years."
E-business provider, PeopleSoft, of Pleasanton, Calif., will use Exodus' hosting services, StorageNetworks BackPACS service for data backup and restore, and the DataPACS service for primary data storage. All of which will be put to use for the PeopleSoft eCenter, the company's application hosting service.
Exodus customers who choose StorageNetworks data storage service solutions can now access the StorageNetworks Global Data Storage Network (GDSN) by plugging into the StorageNetworks StoragePort Access Channel located in the Exodus Internet Data Centers (IDCs).

KNOXVILLE -- There is a lot at stake for Tennessee this Saturday as they faceoff against in-state rival Vanderbilt at 7 p.m. on ESPN2 in Tennessee's Neyland finale.
But the Vols are looking at Senior Day the way they have looked at every game this season, as the next game.
"It is a big game, it is a critical game because it is the next game on our schedule," said head coach Butch Jones. "We are working to get to win number five. That is the way we approach it. It is big because it is the next game."
Rajion Neal will be the first one to tell you that running backs coach Robert Gillespie is not one to handout compliments.
This whole season Neal has felt the need to push harder week-in and week-out to earn the respect of Gillespie.
Exactly what Gillespie wanted, and what Neal needed in his final go around on Rocky Top.
After Neal's touchdown run vs. Auburn, Gillespie is ready to handout those compliments. Because that run encompassed everything Neal has worked on in practice this season.
"Putting your hand down, throwing your head back and your hips will follow," said Gillespie describing the run. "Stiff arming guys, picking up your legs on the free safety trying to make a tackle at the end. There are a lot of good things; he was wanting to make a play."
The run was what the Vols needed, and what Neal needed.
"It was a toughness run. It was a statement run," said Gillespie. "It was one of those runs where he was just determined to make a play and it was at a point in the game where we really needed one. I was excited for him. I am always excited for any kid that makes a play, but obviously one of the guys that has come as far as he has come, it is an exciting run."
Neal will run through the T one final time this Saturday at Neyland Stadium after a career that has seen 1,934 rushing yards, 621 receiving yards, and 22 touchdowns, with more to come.
Gillespie knows there is still a lot more football left in Neal's career.
"He is not done yet," said Gillespie. "I think it has been a work in progress and he has done a really good job of changing the perception of him and the legacy that he will leave here at Tennessee. That was our ultimate goal when he and I first met and talked."
"We still have a couple chapters to go in this book but so far he has done a good job of just trying to become a Tennessee tailback and try and do things the right way," continued Gillespie. "I am a fan of his right now and hopefully he finishes strong, we need him to finish strong as a team."
As the Vols continue preparation for Saturday's must-win matchup with in-state foe Vanderbilt, linebackers coach Tommy Thigpen is focusing on the Commodores' run game.
Known to run out of multiple sets, Vandy's offensive attack presents challenges for any defense.
"They give you a lot of different formations," said Thigpen. "They run the ball out of a lot of formations - they have the wildcat, they've got an empty [backfield set] and a plethora of plays.
"Out of one personnel group they can run five different formations and five different schemes at you. They do a good job with the personnel they have. Our challenge this week is to make sure we can stop the run."
Thigpen plans on digging deeper into his linebacking corps to do that this weekend, and mentioned freshman Jalen Reeves-Maybin as the likely beneficiary.
Reeves-Maybin has made his presence felt in his rookie season, racking up a team-leading nine special teams tackles. He also saw a great deal of defensive action last time out, posting three tackles - all on defense - against Auburn.
Thigpen believes it to be Reeves-Maybin's makeup off the field that has translated into success on the gridiron.
"He's a smart kid - he really is," said Thigpen. "He takes a lot of pride in what he does and is probably one of the most cerebral kids we have on our football team. He's never on the list - never late for anything and always shows up for his appointments. That will always tell you - if he's on time for everything he's supposed to do as a young freshman - that will carry right over to the field.
"He doesn't miss many assignments. He talks in the room with a bunch of older guys and feels really comfortable in the room. So I'm looking forward to watching him grow as a young player."
After giving up a pair of special teams' touchdowns two weeks ago against Auburn, assistant coach Mark Elder and his specialists are looking to rebound in a big way.
Echoing what Coach Jones said on Monday - the possibility of placing defensive starters on special teams - Elder has been looking at other personnel options over the past two weeks.
The biggest benefit of doing this has been an increased level of competition at practice.
"There has been a lot of competition," said Elder. "There are still a couple days to go before we decide who is going to be out there. But we have amped up the competition in some of the spots."
Obviously disappointed with the performance against Auburn, Elder said the open week came at a good time to increase the competition and get things corrected.
"It gives you an opportunity - if you are going to create some competition for some spots - it gives you a little bit bigger snapshot of which guys should be playing based upon more than just two days of reps," said Elder. "We had a couple more days of reps where we amped up the competition and guys had to fight for the spots."
Personnel aside, special teams always comes down to the fundamentals.
"We've been emphasizing the issues that we had as far as making sure we are keeping the ball inside and in front of us and making sure that we are emphasizing tackling," said Elder. "We just have to get those issues corrected because for the most part we've been decent on those teams. We're working hard on those teams, making sure we have the right personnel in there and making sure we are correcting the issues."
The NFL's league leader in receptions is none other than a source of inspiration for the Vols' receiving corps.
No it isn't anyone with a flashy, transformer inspired nickname, or someone from one of the "elite football conferences."
It is actually a familiar face for wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni, in Pittsburgh Steeler and former Central Michigan Chippewa, Antonio Brown.
"Antonio Brown is such a great example [for our team]," said Azzanni. "He leads the NFL in receptions, he played that exact position, that exact terminology, got coached by the exact same guy."
"Yes we are going to compare our slots to Antonio Brown and that is what we expect," continued Azzanni. "He is one of the best players in the NFL, we expect that."
Brown didn't just show up and see success. His success is based on hard work and dedication to the game. The same thing Azzanni expects of the Vol wide receivers.
"That didn't happen overnight either," explained Azzanni. "That was a process. We are trying to teach Pig [Howard] and the rest of these guys that it is a process to becoming that. We aren't going to let you not do the things to try and become that."
"We are never going to let these guys get complacent at anything they do."
Saturday's senior game will largely affect the offensive line, one of the more experienced groups on Team 117. Senior starters Alex Bullard, James Stone, Zach Fulton and Ja'Wuan James will all be playing under the lights of Neyland Stadium for the last time.
Offensive line coach Don Mahoney sung the praises of his position group and commented on what he'd like to achieve as a group while they've still got a chance.
Mahoney equated parts of this season to when one light bulb on a Christmas tree is out.
"There's one light out and well it doesn't look so good," said Mahoney. "That's been on different occasions this year where we've had that happen where couple guys on a given play and it's not executed the way it should and it's not the physicality that we want to play with but the guys have responded in coming back and working to correct things and stuff so the mindset has been what it needs to be. The execution hasn't been there like we need it to."
Mahoney said that even though he's only been in Knoxville since December, he knows what his group of seniors has been through and wants to send them out on a high note.
"I think it's without a doubt deserving for a group of guys who from December to now I've had the chance to be around," he said about getting a bowl berth. "They're special in a number of ways from how they play the game to the character, for the families, for what they've been through."
It will undoubtedly be an everlasting moment for the seniors who, together have combined for 145 starts on Rocky Top.
"I've had the chance to coach for quite a while now and to really have a chance to step back and see what they've had to go through, through the course of time and change and all that, it's something for them - knowing them and their character and their work ethic and all that I think rewarding them for their efforts is something I'd love to see happen," Mahoney said. "I think it's deserving for them."

"Just how irrelevant is your blog?" I asked myself the other day. I had to ask myself because no one asks me questions, because nobody cares what I think about anything.
"Pretty irrelevant," I said. "On a good day, there are ten or eleven visitors, who stay an average of about a minute and twenty seconds, which is just long enough to see that there is nothing here about Justin Bieber or Paul Ryan."
"But that should be a draw! A world without those two would surely be a better place."
"One would think," I said.
The conversation fell silent for a while, and we stared at the wall.
"Wait, 'we'?" I said.
"You know," replied myself, "me, myself, and I."
"But that's three and we're only two. Where's me?"
I laughed. "You'll have to ask me sometime. And I think that we makes four of us: me, myself, I, and we. You know, the royal we."
"That sounds like dualism. Or is it an emergent property of me, I, and myself?"
"Maybe it's property dualism. Hard to say," I said.
"Even harder to think. But wait a minute—shouldn't there be a fifth around here: what about you?"
"Me, myself, we, you, and I?"
"I suppose so. This is turning into quite the party. Where are all these fellows?"
"Right here, idiot!"
"Oh, I didn't see you there."
"Neither did we."
"Your ignorance astounds me."
We rolled our eyes.
"Hey, which one of us is the narrator?"
"Naturally, I am," I said, throwing in the 'naturally' to avoid making myself sound theologically supernatural. I had to assert my priority, but I preferred to avoid controversy and keep things quiet, to prevent myself from making trouble. We always hates that. Yes, we hates it.
"Speaking of making trouble, have you noticed that our corner of the blogosphere has become pretty isolated?"
"Blogospheres don't have corners, you idiot."'
"Metaphorically. You know. And woods don't have necks, either. But here we are."
"Yes," I said. "And in the last couple weeks, I've had comments on two different other blogs disappear into moderation. They weren't intemperate or even that interesting! But—shoop!—down the memory hole."
"I guess we'll just have to keep talking to ourselves."
"Quite right," I said.

|Re: Security and Validation - Re: CouchDB 0.9 and 1.0
|Wed, 02 Jul 2008 18:13:05 GMT
Two points. 1) I'd encourage the CouchDB group to stick to authorization and leave authentication to proxies at this point. If you have some free time in the future, maybe you can think about integrating an authentication layer -- but there's a lot more critical functionality needed, and an HTTP proxy can handle it just fine for the time being. If you consider that username/password authentication is inherently evil, and "real" authentication servers are built off of LDAP, kerberos, or the like, then the massive amount of work involved in doing authentication should be clear. And this isn't even getting into the likelihood that a new authentication implementation will probably get some stuff wrong in non-trivial, non-obvious ways. So, please, let authentication be handled by proxies. 2) In terms of authorization, it would be nice if there was a concept of "read only" and "read-write" premissions at the database level. MySQL goes a bit nuts with their permissions possibly going all the way down to the column level, but it's nice to have that distinction at the database level. This means I can guaranty I don't accidentally modify something when I just mean to be querying it: this kind of functionality has saved my butt a number of times in the past ("Why is this update failing on my dev box? Oh...wait...that's my production terminal window!"), and it would be sad to see it left out. Of course, I could do that kind of permission setting at the Apache level, too, by defining the routes as locations and setting permissions -- but it'd probably be both cleaner and more appropriate to be done in the DB itself. ~~ Robert.

Charlie Brooks hid his 'smut' to protect his ex-Murdoch CEO wife
By Michael Holden
LONDON (Reuters) - Charlie Brooks, the husband of Rupert Murdoch's former British newspaper chief, told a London court on Monday he hid his porn collection from police investigating phone-hacking because he feared leaks to the press which would embarrass his wife.
Brooks' wife Rebekah is on trial at London's Old Bailey accused of conspiracy to hack phones and authorizing illegal payments to public officials. They are both accused of attempting to pervert the course of justice by hindering the police investigation.
Five others are also on trial over alleged criminal activity centered on Murdoch's now defunct News of the World tabloid. They all deny the charges.
Rebekah Brooks was arrested in July 2011 at the height of a phone-hacking scandal that rocked Murdoch's News Corp. empire and shook Britain's political establishment.
On the day of her arrest, her husband Charlie, a former racehorse trainer, was caught on close circuit television footage hiding a brown bag and a computer behind bins in the car park of their flat in central London.
The jury has already heard that the bag contained DVDs of lesbian porn films.
Brooks, 51, said the DVDs were of "an embarrassing nature" and the computer "also had some smut on it" as well as items linked to a book he was writing.
"I imagined 20 policemen coming in and everything down and looking under every nook and cranny," he said, saying he had acted "incredibly stupidly and rashly". Continued...

Catholic Education in Solidarity with the Poor
Recent popes have declared that the "rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer". This same criticism could be applied to catholic education: catholic schools and colleges are serving more the rich; and less the middle class and poor.
When my grandparents immigrated from Ireland in the early 1900s, the Catholic Church in the United States already had in place a parochial school system designed primarily for immigrants. However, these schools are now too expensive for today's immigrants.
St. Ignatius of Loyola, when he established Jesuit schools and colleges in the sixteenth century, insisted that no tuition fees be charged to the students in order that the poor might participate with the rich. Today, student fees in some of our Catholic Colleges are exceeding $50,000 a year.
Should Catholic Education include, as part of its mission, the goal of reducing the gap between the rich and poor? Can Catholic Education encourage what Cardinal Claudio Hummes calls "solidarity with the poor"?
"A servant church must have as its priority solidarity with the poor," he said. "The faith must express itself in charity and in solidarity, which is the civil form of charity," Hummes said.
"Today more than ever, the church faces this challenge. In fact, effective solidarity with the poor, both individual persons and entire nations, is indispensable for the construction of peace. Solidarity corrects injustices, reestablishes the fundamental rights of persons and of nations, overcomes poverty and even resists the revolt that injustice provokes, eliminating the violence that is born with revolt and constructing peace."
My thesis deals with the question: Can the poor be included as participants in Catholic Education in order to encourage "Solidarity"?
First, I consider the thesis of Mary Perkins Ryan in her book: Are Parochial Schools the Answer?
"In trying to provide a total Catholic Education for as many of our young people as possible, we have been neglecting to provide anything like an adequate religious formation for all those not in Catholic Schools, and we have been neglecting the religious formation of adults." Mrs. Ryan suggests that the resources of the Church could be better used where the public schools provide for general education.
I then modify Mrs. Ryan's thesis to establish my own which I summarize as follows:
"A preferential option for the poor" should be maintained in our Catholic Schools. If we find that we cannot afford to keep our schools open to the poor, the Church should be ready to use its resources for something else which can be kept open to the poor. We cannot allow our Church to become a church primarily for the middle-class and rich while throwing a bone to the poor. The priority should be given to the poor even if we have to let the middle-class and rich fend for themselves.
Practically speaking, the Catholic Schools must give up general education in those countries where the State is providing it. The resources of the Church could then be focused on "Confraternity of Christian Doctrine" and other programs which can be kept open to the poor. These resources could then be used to help society become more human in solidarity with the poor. Remember, the Church managed without Catholic Schools for centuries. It can get along without them today. The essential factor from the Christian point of view is to cultivate enough Faith to act in the Gospel Tradition, namely, THE POOR GET PRIORITY. The rich and middle-class are welcome too. But the poor come first.

In all, only 173 skilled nursing facilities were named to the honor out of the nation's thousands of nursing homes. Only four nursing home facilities received the designation in North Carolina.
This is my favorite time of the year. Not because the days are longer and the temperatures are (usually) warmer. It's not even the green beer and corned beef and cabbage.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy those things, but what I love about this time of year is Sunshine Week.
Sunshine Week, this year recognized March 14-20, is a time when media outlets across the country team up with nonprofit organizations and citizens' groups to shine the light on freedom of information.

There are problems with North Carolina's voter registration system. In its current form, the process has too many holes, making it far too easy for those who want to take advantage of the system.
Voter fraud is a very real problem in this country and more needs to be done—especially right here in North Carolina—to make that more difficult to happen.
Ronnie Milsap will bring his trademark country-soul voice to Brunswick County on Monday night, March 22, for a 7:30 p.m. performance in Odell Williamson Auditorium at Brunswick Community College.

BLACKSBURG, Va. - The University of North Carolina track and field programs concluded their final meets of the season before the NCAA Indoor National Championships on Saturday with many Tar Heels seeing personal bests and battling to make the top-16 cut-off for championship berths.
"The last chance meet at Virginia Tech was an exciting day for us personally but of course we always want more for our student-athletes," said head coach Harlis Meaders after the Tar Heels had finished their events on Saturday. "We should know by Monday morning who the final qualifiers for NCAAs will be but regardless we are looking forward to the outdoor season."
Devon Carter raced a personal best in the final of the 60-meter hurdles becoming the first Tar Heel to run sub-eight seconds in the event since 1999. Carter raced in 7.96 and ranks fifth all-time in the UNC record books with the mark.
Daisaun White set a collegiate best in the triple jump as he reached 47-6 ½ (14.49 meters). Chrishawn Williams did not exceed her season best of 20-8 ½ (6.31 meters), which has her ranked 15th as of 5:00 p.m. on Saturday before many competitions from the weekend had reported.
"Chrishawn did not jump farther than what she did at the Armory Collegiate in New York in the middle of the season that had her ranked as high as sixth nationally," said Coach Meaders, "Right now we have to keep our fingers crossed that her earlier mark will keep her in the top 16."
Cameron Overstreet came close on three great looks at an all-time PR of 13-11 (4.24 meters) in the pole vault but was unable to clear the height.
"Cameron had a great meet today with those looks at what would have been an NCAA qualifying mark," said Coach Meaders, "The bar just wouldn't stay up today but that will mean we can expect great things for the outdoor season."
In South Bend, Ind., at the Notre Dame Alex Wilson Invitational, Lianne Farber battled back from illness to compete in the mile.
"I guess the story her time [of 4:52.39] doesn't tells is how really proud we are of Lianne and her effort today. Two days ago she was on an IV with whatever illness that has been circulating around campus," said assistant coach Mark VanAlstyne on their way back to Chapel Hill. "We brought her out and hoped she could recuperate in time but it was too much to ask after having been that sick for two days then compete against the best milers in the country.
"It was really a no-win situation for us," Coach VanAlstyne added, "If you don't run, you wonder for the next year if you could have done it or you get out there and do your best and see what happens. The end result is she's worked terribly hard for this moment and to not even give an attempt would have been more heartbreaking. We did the best we could to get her strength back over the last two days and to her credit she wanted to go to the line to give the race her all. Right now we'll hope for the best in the rest of Lianne's recovery but regardless we know there are good things to come."
The NCAA Indoor National Championships will take place next Friday and Saturday, March 8-9, at Arkansas.
"I think it's been a good indoor season for both our men and women's teams," said Coach Meaders, "We've learned a lot of a group and have grown closer together, which will make us a stronger team as we go into the outdoor season."

By Representatives Darrell Issa and Jim Jordan
Three years later, it's time to declare President Barack Obama's $800 billion stimulus a failure. The stimulus may have the distinction of being the most money wasted by a piece of legislation in history. The question now is: How did this administration get it so wrong, and what have they learned from their mistakes?
First, the undeniable evidence of failure.
Former Obama advisers Christina Romer and Jared Bernstein sold the stimulus to the public with a claim that it ensured unemployment would never top 8 percent and, by now, would be about 6 percent. It's now at 8.3 percent.
Newly released confidential memos from Larry Summers, the president's former top economic adviser, shed more light on what Team Obama was thinking when it embarked on its bold gamble.
A chart in the Summers memo predicts that by the fourth quarter of 2011, without the stimulus plan, the number of working Americans would return to the near pre-recession level of nearly 138 million. In the real world, employment still has yet to crest 132.5 million -- even with the stimulus.
In other words, the administration missed its mark by more than 5 million jobs. Stimulus proponents resorted to citing the immeasurable metric of jobs "created or saved," in an obvious attempt to hide behind false facts. In reality, this make-believe metric ignored Summers's very specific promises for payroll employment that went woefully unmet.
Summers presciently notes in the memo, "[T]here is a tension between the need to spend the money quickly and the desire to spend the money wisely."
White House policymakers should have paid more attention here. It's a good foretelling of what happened at agencies like the Energy Department, where billions of dollars have been put in jeopardy on Solyndra-like gambles that, for the sake of expediency, were not properly vetted. The DOE inspector general describes the department's mandate to spend funds quickly as akin to "attaching a garden hose to a fire hydrant."
In response to these shortcomings, the president and his allies offer only excuses.
Administration officials claim they simply misread the fundamentals of the economy. The president just this week confessed, "[A] lot of us didn't understand at that point how bad it was going to get."
But then why drive us deep into debt under the pretext that you could devise a spending package that would cure our economic woes? This is akin to a kicker missing a field goal and then saying he misread how far away the uprights were.
How was this allowed to happen? Because the Obama administration's understanding of job creation is fundamentally flawed and wrapped in an ideology that ignores the state of our nation and economy.
The Stanford economist John Taylor explained the president's advisers' thinking in testimony before our committee. "It's their models of the economy," Taylor said last fall, " they simulate them and say, "oh, this is going to work.' And then they do it after the case, they simulate the same model and say it did work."
The problem is that the economy is more complex than this brand of test-tube-based economics can plan for. On this point, as Sir Isaac Newton said after he lost money in the South Sea Bubble of 1720, "I can calculate the movement of the stars, but not the madness of men."
Most troubling is that instead of moving on to real, workable solutions for the 13 million Americans now out of work, the president's latest budget proposal doubles down on the defunct notion that more government spending is our ticket to prosperity.
The Obama budget shows government spending rising to $3.8 trillion, or 24.3 percent of gross domestic product, through 2012, up from $3.6 trillion, or 24.1 percent of GDP, in 2011. For a comparison, during the most prosperous time in U.S. history, from the end of World War II through the start of the 2008 recession, the federal government averaged less than 20 percent of GDP.
Moreover, in the president's 2010 budget, he projected a 2012 deficit of $581 billion. However, in his latest budget proposal, released last week, that figure has more than doubled -- to $1.33 trillion.
Jack Lew, the president's new chief of staff and former director of the Office of Management and Budget, said this week, "The time for austerity is not today."
The problem with Team Obama is that the time for austerity is always tomorrow. It's high time we cut our losses, shrink the government and get back to tried-and-true pro-growth policies.
Three years of failed stimulus policies is more than enough.

text: Some of us in the lj PLC community have decided to make blue ribbons in a movement we referr to as "Ribbons for DAISHI". These blue ribbons mean we support DAISHI and still love him even if we do not agree with his actions that got him arrested. They show that we want him to get out of this mess and get clean. I and a few other people will be passing these ribbons around (as well as a team at AnimeNEXT). If you would like a ribbon, look for someone wearing a blue ribbon. I will get to the con about 7pm on Friday and will be dressed as Myaku Kaoru from Dir en Grey if you'd like to find me. On Saturday before (or maybe after, whichever works best) we'd like to take a group picture of everyone who is wearing a ribbon (we're making a sign as well for the photo). So show your support! The ribbons are pretty small so they wont distract from your costume. Show PLC that you care.

|Shadow Hawk Golf Club -- Fall Visit
|Review by: Bob Wechsler
|Shadow Hawk is a beautiful venue. The course is hard to rate in the middle of winter when the trees are not in bloom and leafy. The fairways are open and more than fair. The greens are as challenging as they come. They are filled with undulations that make straight putts rare. The greens roll fair and pretty fast. The clubhouse is very classy and comfortable (in winter, nicer than the course itself). I would hope to play this course again in summer (heat and all) to see the beauty. It was still fun and challenging for this 15 handicap player,

Arsène Wenger hopes to exorcise the ghost of PSV Eindhoven when his team fights for a place in the Champions League Final tonight.
Arsenal crashed out of the competition two years ago when the Dutch club successfully defended a 1-0 first-leg lead at Emirates Stadium. The Gunners took the lead that night when Alex put through his own net but the Brazilian defender - now at Chelsea - redeemed himself with a towering header seven minutes from time.
Arsenal find themselves in an identical position before kick-off tonight after Manchester United secured a 1-0 advantage at Old Trafford last week. An away goal for the holders could have an equally devastating effect and Wenger knows his players will have to strike the perfect balance between attack and defence.
"It becomes awkward because I feel on that night we were a bit impatient," recalled the manager.
"We pushed on and wanted absolutely to score the second goal and in the end we got caught on the set-piece and it was 1-1. That's football. We were in a position at the start where we think we want to win the home game. Can we do it tonight? Of course.
"From the first leg they [Man United] had a little advantage on us in their belief in the final third compared to us. But I am confident that it will be on our side in the home tie.
"We had an away game in the Champions League Semi-Final. In my experience of the Champions League Semi-Finals, they are always the most difficult games. Because the team who are 90 minutes away from the Champions League Final, at home, will give you a tough time. And we got one.
"But I am sure they will experience a tough time at the Emirates."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

You'd think myself and Lucy would've met each others' parents earlier in our relationship. No. We're not that smart. Instead, we left it until last week. There is method to our madness though: If either of our parents disagree with the other half, we'll be running off together for 2 months, 5000 miles away. TAKE THAT AND SHOVE IT UP YOU A HOLE MA! ahem... It went really well though. The meeting of the parents that is there were attacks of nerves before hand (just ask Jon). Lucy met my parents last thursday/friday, after meeting Emily and Rob for the first time, and Carl for the second time. My mom was most helpful in making Lucy feel at home. I wont explain why... The dinner I feel was very successful. My family behaved just as I expected them to: They talked shite all night, so obviously Lucy felt comfortable (not a jibe at her, we both talk shite all the time) A few days after it was my time to meet her mom... and grandma... and grandad... and little brother and sister... and aunt. Aiiiiiiiieeeeeee!!! I think it went well we just went to her nans house for awhile and (I) talked very little. hmmm, not much else to say. I think I'll propose to her in Las Vegas... Oh yeah, and I'm leaving for America tomorrow... ta ta! Hey [insert sisters name], Just thought I'd send a quick email to let you know things are going good in America :) Flying wasn't as bad as I thought, though I did suffer a few head pains due to decreasing altitude and my sinuses :/ Our first stop was LA for the night. Our original hostel that we booked was for some reason full when we got there, so they sent us down the beach to a much nicer hotel :) Next morning we went to explore the city, finding out that it's overpopulated by bums and lowlive. How lovely lol Now, we're in San Francisco, where we've discovered that it's probably the most diagonal city in the world! Even more so than leicester! We spent the day mainly on the beach, and tomorrow we'll be passing over the golden gate bridge. We leave for Seattle on monday evening, where we'll be sleeping on the coach to save ourselves some money. Anyways, gotta get going now, there's a beach party at the hostel soon! Send my love to Mum and the rest of the family, and I'll send some pictures and postcards soon. Ta ta, Ant 24 hours. That's the answer I'd give you if you asked me how long it takes to get from San Francisco to Seattle by Greyhound coach. That's including the 4 hours me and Lucy spent asleep on the Sacramento coach station floor. Woke up not long ago, not in a bed, but in a room full of matresses. Canada is ace, everybody recycles :) From the last time I updated I've probably travelled the length of the UK at least five times. In all, I've been to Los Angeles, California San Francisco, California Seattle, Washington Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada) Seattle again Boise, Idaho Butte, Montana Rapid City, South Dakota and now we're in Minneapolis, Minnesota :) It's wet. We've slept on a coach for at least 68 hours between each city, slept in a room with matresses, slept on random people's couches twice, slept in a motel and currently we're residing in a Gay owned and operated hotel... We rock! Next is Chicago or Detroit. Maybe Milky way Milwalke Mike Tyson France :)
I wanted to update with something in the short time that we have at the library here in Cincinatti.... so there it was... There you go Lucy, now you can check your emails!!!!!!!!!1111 Back in San Francisco again, after finding out that accommodation in Reno would be upwards of $80. Yikes! This past week has been the best of the trip so far. Mainly due to how friendly some of the locals have been. In Cheyenne, Lucy asked Roger, the clerk behind the desk at the Greyhound station which way the town was and instead he gave us a tour of the whole city. It included a trip to the oldest military base in the country, where we got to stand next to some huge penises missiles, a paid lunch, and a trip to a celtic festival, where an old pervy drunk guy perved all over Lucy... He did a good British accent though ;) In Denver the people were just as welcoming. Upon arriving at the hostel we were invited out for a Shindig trip to the 7Eleven for a drink. We'll be heading back to Denver in a few days to rendevous with Roger and see some "Kickass military fireworks" for Independence Day :) Ciao for now. Back August 2nd ;) Couchsurfing.com has been shut down :( *weeps a little* Is riding in a mountainous region on a bicycle that has no breaks fun? If I survive I'll let you know ;) Well, hello there everyone. It's 12:18am and I'm in none other than "sunny" New Orleans :) ... I miss Denver, though the hostel here is very different. It's got a swamp/cabin theme to it. Also, they have a beer vending machine, though of course I don't need it, as I can go drinking anywhere, being of the legal drinking age *cough* in England *cough* ;) It's been so long since I've updated... A lot's happened since New Orleans. Despite having a whole song named after it, Amarillo sucks ass The Grand Canyon is beautiful :) Las Vegas is overrated. It has some really beautiful attractions, but after you've gambled away your life there's nothing to do. Though if you like porn youre in luck. Within 10 minutes of walking the famous "strip" you'll be handed at least 10 porn cards. I've collected about 20. I'm thinking of making it into a trading card game. San Diego was alright, though I was only there for the San Diego Comic Convention, where there were a surprising amount of pornstars... Now I'm in Tuscon, AZ, gonna head back to San Diego for two days, then rest in LA for the final 3 days before I'm back in good ol' England :) Oh, and my webhost is shutting down, so the photos will be gone soon :( Eerythingabotuthiswebcafesucks!!!Thespacebardoesn'tworkandnordoestheletter"v"unlessyouholddownonit!!!!Arrrrrrgh !!!
Anyways,I'mcominghomeinafewdaysw00t!!!I'llbebackby2nd:) I forgot to mention, I'm back in England :)

OGDEN, Utah – Northern Arizona's Ida Nilsson ranks No. 3 on the Big Sky Conference's list of "25 Greatest Female Athletes.'' The 11-time All-American is one of the most decorated runners in Lumberjack and Big Sky history.
In addition to being an All-American, Nilsson is the only Big Sky Conference athlete to win the league cross country title four times.
"It makes me happy," said Nilsson about being No. 3. "My time at NAU has a lasting impact on me and I'm honored to be remembered."
The Sweden native competed for the Lumberjacks from 2001-04 in cross country. During those years she never lost a Big Sky individual title. She placed fourth at the Mountain Regional in 2001, and was second from 2002-04.

Important new efforts to address sexual harassment and teen dating violence are appearing at high schools and colleges across the country. Teachers, faculty members and young people themselves are speaking up like never before on this issue and are eager to stop the violence before it even starts.
An important first step in addressing any aggressive behaviors, including sexual harassment and teen dating violence, is recognizing the intersecting factors that can contribute to these dangerous patterns of behavior. Last spring, I had the opportunity to participate in a two-day workshop convened by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and National Research Council (NRC).

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month! Dating violence can happen to any teen in a romantic, dating, or sexual relationship, anytime, anywhere. It can happen in person or online with a current or former dating partner. Bullying involves acts of violence, power or control of one person over another. But it does not have to happen at all.
One study found that young males who frequently bully peers in school are likely to perform acts of domestic violence as adults. Preparing schools and communities to prevent, identify and respond when students are in need... Continue ReadingPosted in Prevention

Setting up Windows® 7 Operating System on Sony VAIO JS All-in-one Desktop is one of a kind as it is one of the very few all-in-one desktop computers in the market at present. This desktop computer comes with Windows® 7 Operating System. However, those users using the previous versions like Windows Vista® or Windows® XP can very well go for upgrading it to Windows® 7 manually. In order to install Windows® 7 Operating System on your computer, you need to do certain tasks.
- Activate Windows® 7 operating system
- Register Windows® 7 operating system
- Configure Windows® 7 operating system
Activate Windows® 7 operating system
This is the first and foremost step if you want to set up Windows® 7 Operating System on your computer. Activation is nothing but installing Windows® 7 Operating System on your computer and registering it with the Microsoft Corporation and making it legal. The reason activation is needed is because some of the features of the operating system will be disabled if your OS is not registered. Hence, it is highly important that you set-up Windows® 7 on your computer. The steps needed to activate Windows® 7 are given as follows. The first step is to click open the 'Control Panel' in your computer and then select 'System and Security' menu and then, select 'System Control Panel View'. In case, you have installed Windows® 7 Operating System and not yet activated the Windows® 7 RC Ultimate Version (RC stands for Release Candidate), you will be able to see the Windows® Activation tab at the bottom of the 'Control Panel' window.
Register Windows® 7 Operating System
Make sure that you have the Internet connection turned on in your computer. Once you click on 'Activate Windows Now' tab, you will be activating it online. You will be prompted to give the activation key. The activation key would be processed and it will be validated. Once the activation procedure is completed successfully, you will register your computer and the Windows® 7 Operating System, thereby enabling all the benefits and features.
Configuring Windows® 7 is nothing but personalizing the operating system in your own desired manner. Customizing firewall settings, the proxy settings, the antivirus settings, network connections, etc., all fall under the configuration category.

Activist, naturalist, author visits Stetson
As part of the Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows program at Stetson University, American writer, poet, naturalist and activist Janisse Ray will speak at Stetson about the international campaign, Food Day, and will read from her book, Seed Underground: A Growing Revolution to Save Food. Open to the public, free of charge, Ray's lecture is at 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 24, in the Gillespie Museum, located at 234 E. Michigan Ave., on the south end of Stetson's DeLand campus.
The Oct. 24 public lecture is part of an intensive week-long visit at Stetson, from Oct. 21-25, in which Ray will interact with Stetson students and faculty and the community as a whole. Ray is a leading advocate of Food Day, the grass-roots campaign that has become an international initiative to produce better food policies and celebrate healthful and affordably produced food.
For 35 years the Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows (WWVF) program has brought prominent artists, business leaders, diplomats, and other nonacademic professionals to various campuses in the United States.
"Ray will spend a week with our faculty and students, teaching us how to be writers, how to think through thick and complex problems that have no easy answers, and how to apply the results of our intellectual labors to change the world for the better," explained WWVF program coordinator Michael Denner, Ph.D., who is also associate professor of modern language and literatures at Stetson, with a focus in Russian studies.
Denner has helped bring other fellows to Stetson in the past, such as Nobel Prize winning journalist David Shipler and career diplomat Ken Yalowitz.
Janisse Ray is the author of five books of literary nonfiction and a collection of nature poetry. She holds an M.F.A. from the University of Montana and in 2007 was awarded an honorary doctorate from Unity College in Maine. She's on the faculty of Chatham University's low-residency M.F.A. program and will be teaching Spring 2014 at the University of Montana as the William Kittredge Distinguished Visiting Writer.
"Ray will make Stetson her home. She'll work closely with faculty, students, and staff: visiting classes to discuss everything from creative writing to grass-roots activism to sustainable food networks. It's not one way," Denner said. "Our faculty and students will show her central Florida, teaching her about our own corner of the world. Her visit attests to Stetson's commitment to integrate our intellectual, scholarly life of the mind with practical application of our core values."
In addition to the public lecture scheduled for Oct. 24, a lecture/discussion titled 'What I Mean When I Say Sustainable" will be held at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 23, in the Stetson Room, second floor of the Carlton Union Building, 131 E. Minnesota Ave. This lecture is also open to the public, free of charge.
For more information, contact Dr. Michael Denner, at (386) 822-7381.

First ride in the V = Dad's shocking sailor mouth
So I picked up my 70-something year old father at the airport today, in the V. He's never ridden in it, and never seen it. My car is only a few months old and it's the first time he's visited. He's a car guy and has owned many fast cars in his life.
Let's cut to the chase here...after a few full throttle blasts from 2nd gear through 4th down the freeway and from stoplights, I could feel my cheeks going red, my forehead getting sweaty, and my pulse quickening as my father spewed curse words and expletives that would make a sailor blush. As the V pushed him harder into the seat, he would grab the door handle as his knuckles went white, while he dropped expletive combos I didn't know existed. And not in a bad way, but more on a "Jesus f**king Christ, OMFG holy s**t" kind of way.
I admit it, I was shocked and a bit embarrassed but at the same time a little bit proud. Proud that this car is so absurdly fast that it would reduce a kind, wise, mature man to cursing like the demon in The Exorcist...and proud that my own father could drop the F bomb so many times between stoplights.
Reason #538 to own a CTS-V: free entertainment. I saw a different side of my Dad today. Thank you V.

Re: First ride in the V = Dad's shocking sailor mouth
Yea, I took my much older brother (16 years my Sr. and well over 60) on a ride a few months ago. He is very conservative with his vehicles now but did he some serious street/drag racing when he was in his 20's . He always trashes modern muscle cars and says they can't hold a candle to his old '56 Chevy or '67 Camaro. He squealed like a little girl after a few 160 mph sprints in the V. Cracked me up.

Re: First ride in the V = Dad's shocking sailor mouth
Quality time with your Dad. Great stuff.
I lost my Dad in January 2011. But he had a chance to ride in my 09 sedan and my 11 coupe. He always remarked about how they sounded, and a couple of times he would tell me "I heard you drive by last night". The sound was unmistakable to him, sedan or coupe.
I took him with me to pick up the sedan because he once told me that his dad, my grandfather, had always wanted a Cadiilac, and mine would be our family's first. It was really cool to walk around the dealership with him and finally get my car.
Ha haa! These cars always leave an impression on people of all ages. It's good that younger folks are buying them, too.
Re: First ride in the V = Dad's shocking sailor mouth
Awesome post. I'll be taking my V in a few weeks when I visit my Dad as well, who hasn't seen it. I can't wait to share the experience with him. This is just part of being a good son, you know.

A test case for the shoulder charge? Perhaps not. Really, this was closer to a test case for head clashes. Can you be suspended for a head clash? A precedent has now been set after Manly's Richie Fa'aoso, whose shoulder charge gone wrong knocked out Gold Coast's Ashley Harrison, was banned for one match.
Yet it wasn't quite the four-match suspension for which the match review committee, searching for a deterrent for the now banned shoulder charge, had been hoping. And certainly the Sea Eagles, who had admitted Fa'aoso was guilty of a careless act but questioned the grade-three charge, saw the result as a victory.
Fa'aoso is now free to play in the round-five clash against the Bulldogs after the three-man panel of Don McKinnon, Michael Vella and Sean Garlick took 20 minutes to downgrade the charge to grade two.
Fa'aoso defence team had produced footage of a tackle by Melbourne's Billy Slater on North Queensland winger Antonio Winterstein in round one – after which the fullback was handed a grade-one dangerous contact charge but escaped suspension – to prove that the charge handed to Fa'aoso had been excessive.
Fa'aoso's counsel, Nicholas Ghabar, said Slater had made "direct contact of a dangerous nature with player Winterstein's head – [and] what's worse is that player Slater has jumped to get himself in that position ... It was very forceful contact with player Winterstein's head ... It was always going to be out of control, and it was always going to be reckless".
Ghabar conceded the tackle by Fa'aoso had been careless, but maintained that the premiership-winning forward could not have foreseen a serious injury suffered by his opponent. "We accept it was careless, but we do not accept it was reckless," Ghabar said. "It was accidental. It was a head clash."
NRL prosecutor Peter Kite, though, argued the tackle was a reckless one, given the injury was a consequence of an illegal action. He said the hit came with an "unacceptable risk of injury".
"The hit was brought about by a shoulder charge, which in itself is an illegal tackle," Kite said. "The player Fa'aoso comes to a deliberate decision to use that shoulder-charge method of making the hit on player Harrison. That part of the hit is intentional. It's apparent that he makes contact with a high degree of force.
"In choosing this tackle deliberately, he must foresee that the force he applies is going to force player Harrison's head in a whiplash action, and he must foresee the prospect of a head clash. I'm not suggesting that player Fa'aoso intended to [cause the head clash], but it was a possibility."
Kite added there needed to be a "clear message to all players in the game ... that [a shoulder charge] is a dangerous strategy, an unacceptable, dangerous strategy – it is to be avoided, and that must be the clear message."
Ghabar countered that the tackle would not serve as a deterrent regardless of the ban because contact with the head had been accidental. "What are you going to deter?" he said. "Head clashes can happen with very legal tackles."
At times during Kite's testimony, Manly coach Geoff Toovey was animated and clearly agitated. Yet afterwards, he said his player had been given a fair hearing. "I still believe that the grading system needs an overhaul," Toovey said. "There needs to be some more transparency around that area. But apart from that, we're happy with the result. Richie's very remorseful that a player got hurt, and I'm sure he's learnt his lesson."

Thank you very much for your answers. So, I guess I'll add some more pages and try to fix that search form, as that's what you all pointed out.
Anyone else has something more to add? Some of those usual problems with spacing and such?
I have just received an email with the rejection of my HTML template, it is my first try on themeforest so I'd appreciate some guides for improving my design.
Link to the demo: http://rkomademo.freehosting.com/purepower/
I like this.. I think maybe you should go ahead and code this into HTML and then give it a try.
Thank you for your answers, I'll polish it a little more and start coding to try my luck here.
I have been working on this design so I would appreciate some honest comments about it. To me it looks a bit monotonous, so any advice would be great.
Here is the link to the blog page: http://pasteboard.s3.amazonaws.com/images/1347140708343448.png
This is the portfolio: http://pasteboard.s3.amazonaws.com/images/1347140949898985.png
NOTE : Sidebar with menu is supposed to be fixed.
I also have some more pages, but they are all pretty much based on the same concept, so bring it on, brutal truth
I think you need more contrast, for expample I was looking around trying to find the navigation for a few seconds because it blends so much with the background.. You should probably make the navigation stand out more, as it is the essential part of the page. Just a thought that first went through my mind when the page loaded..
maybe you could find some better social icons and add a submit button to the contact form in the footer.. also, i noticed this http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/5025/psimagews.jpg in Chrome.. in IE and FF it looks fine.
Good luck!
Thank you all for your taking time to give me your honest opinions, I really appreciate it as I needed to know where I was heading with this.
dnp_theme said
Yes, allow me to hit you fully critic: * your header looks bad, (maybe Chinese would like it though); it needs to be clean, show only what's important, in your case logo and menu, but the grey tiled texture looks awful and not to mention the logo * your paragraphs are too long, makes boring reading/scanning the page * titles cannot be colored unless your design is for kiddos * there is no typographic concept, no order, no idea of your spacing, no hierarchy, just 4 big titles some parags and 5 images…
You must find a unique layout, with simple shapes, clean backgrounds, hard titles (I mean black on white back and white on dark back). Instead, your work now looks like a 10 years old website to be deleted for the following days. For that, you must do research to find something new, never done before, with a unique combination of features, colors and graphics to stun your clients and click Purchase. See the WP section, there are so many themes with no sale, then most of the themes have 5-20 sales all in a few months, so there is competition, you cannot get through reviewers and then succeed like that, you must learn the way of the warrior.
I say you need practice: layouts, examples, graphics, more CSS skill, and more typographic knowledge.Good luck.
Thank you very much for your detailed review, that is what I need.
Thanks for the reply, I will have in mind what you said. Anyone else?

Напишите пожалуйста не большое сочинение на тему "My ideal holiday".
- It was a madly fervent summer. I looked at the clear sky and screwed up my eyes from the baking rays. Then I caught up a straw bonnet & jumped on the scorching sand. It remained only to go up a hill, pass a wicket and here it is - an alluring river. I ran down to it, shedding clothes as I went and dipped into with run, crying with joy & laughing. I swam deeper and deeper; until water became cold then I opened my eyes and admired the shoal of fishes, flashed by me. At last a sandbank appeared. I climbed up it & felt myself as Robinson Crusoe on a desert island. Holding my nose and breath I fell to water by the back. It was an amazing feeling, it seemed that the sun fell with me. I lay easy and looked through the water at my hands with interest. "Probably, there are the same islands in heaven and angels are walking there now"-I thought.
Suddenly I saw somebody's eyes right over mine. Taking aback, I gave a start and let the air out. "Sorry if I scared"- said an absolute angel-"I just thought you may get a bad sunburn". "Under water?"- I smiled and had a fit of coughing suddenly. "Oh, it seems to me you have got your mouth full of water, it will be better to get back". The stranger put my arms around his neck and began to swim slowly. His golden hair smelt of freshness and forest. "Probably the angel came down to earth in order to bring me home"- I thought to myself.

Powerful Theatre
The horrors and guilt of war bring two soldiers together while they are on a brief respite from Vietnam in Penang, Malaysia. The men confide in each other how the war has shaken their most basic beliefs. The smart writing and compelling acting creates powerful theatre that is emotional and thought provoking.
