text: Hate to say this, but I been there with this before on a system that did our payroll. The system crashed hard on a Tuesday with payroll due out on Thursday. Vendor said they would have someone out on Monday of the next week. Now that of course means that payroll is going to be missed this week so I was asked to look into it by the back door. Brought the issue up to the CIO & my manager who had a somewhat different idea. Long story made short a couple of lawyers had a discussion & the vendor was out that afternoon. Still missed Thursday because of a similar, though not identical, mistake by the vendor. Our support agreement changed overnight thereafter. Sometimes you really need to let them kill the system on their nickel. ______________________________________________________________ Dick Goulet / Capgemini North America P&C / East Business Unit \Senior Oracle DBA / Outsourcing Office: 508.572.1978 / Mobile: 508.742.5795 / www.capgemini.com <http://www.capgemini.com/> Fax: 508.229.2019 Email: richard.goulet@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 45 Bartlett St. / Marlborough, MA 01752 Together: the Collaborative Business Experience ______________________________________________________________ ________________________________ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Manjula Krishnan Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 3:41 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Something is filling up my /oracle file system - URGENT Support is thru the vendor. And it sucks. Last week we had major power failures. The UPS died and everything crashed hard. One database was complaining about inconsistent control files, so I comment out the other control files and was able to bring up with one of them. Another database would not come up and long story short I put in a call to the vendor because I figure let them fix this at 3:00 am since they won't buy me the support I ask for. This analyst calls me and I explain what I had done with the other database. He says, I will look into it and call u back. And then I call him again to check the status, he says I will try one more thing before I call the DBA on call. I say what? He says "I will copy the control file from DBWORKING to DBNOTWORKING and try to bring it up". So, I said "CALL THE DBA NOW, DO NOT DO THIS". If I had not done that he would have killed our production databases. That is sadly the kind of support we get. For 3 years now I have been trying to at least convert one of the licenses to Full Use so we can buy support but no luck.

So if you have database problems you ring that vendor and they have to do the support work and they raise a TAR if required on behalf of the customer. Manjula check as to what is your support arrrangement with the licenses and see what you have and if this applies to you. How do you get your CPU's and other Oracle patches.

In The Clutch: Stacy Lewis
Playing golf professionally wasn't always on the mind of Stacy Lewis. Making the transition from amateur to professional opened the eyes of the world's former No. 1 golfer, and she said she's had to adjust to the many responsibilities that come with playing on the LPGA Tour.
"Golf for me kind of came in the picture ... I was probably 7 or 8. My dad played and I would just tag along with him and it was more of just having fun with my dad. I didn't want to be a professional golfer or anything like that and as I got older, it became a means for college and my dad told me I needed to get a scholarship.
"It wasn't until probably my junior year of college [at Arkansas], after I won the national championship, that I said I could be a professional golfer. It didn't enter my mind until that point. Everyone thought I would leave after that year and turn pro early, but I loved being in college so I wasn't leaving any time soon. And, I don't know, I loved being an amateur and I just loved playing golf and playing it for a living never really was in the back of my mind, at all.
"Going from amateur to a pro was, it was a strange feeling. You know, it really wasn't a big celebration. You know, the only difference is that you enter a tournament, you check being a professional instead of an amateur, so it really wasn't that big of a difference. I don't think I really realized how much it entailed though, until my full first rookie year on tour. When you go to pro-am parties, you do pro-am, you do extra events, you do media ... and I didn't realize all that went into being a professional athlete.
"The first year on tour was tough for me. I didn't realize how much it entailed. All the extra things that we do ... it was tough because you have to learn how to balance your time. How to know how much practice you need and how much time you need to spend at the golf course putting? How much you need to spend chipping and also leaving time to do sponsor events and pro-ams, and it's a lot of time management -- which going to college definitely helped that. You know, in college you had to learn how.
"So it's a lot of time management and I realize now that you need a lot of people around you to help you be successful. And I'm pretty fortunate that I did that pretty well. I have a great team. I have my parents of course, they're kind of the first people I go to. I have great agents and I have my swing coach, Joe Hallett. I have a trainer, David Donatucci, and I still talk to my college coaches whenever I need a little kind of a pep talk or how to handle a certain situation. I do talk to them as well, so I just have a lot of good people that I can call when I need advice."

The Cooper River Bassmasters of South Carolina has an interesting way of helping spread native vegetation. At a recent tournament, officials asked competitors to help out.
Cooper River members acquired seedlings of eelgrass, a plant that is native to South Carolina. They attached small weights to the seedlings, then asked competitors in an annual fundraising tournament on Santee Cooper Lakes to drop the seedlings overboard when they arrived at their first fishing location.
The eelgrass addition should help control the abundant hydrilla.
"We have noticed an increase in eelgrass over the last couple of years as the hydrilla is reduced," explained Chance Bralley, conservation director for the South Carolina B.A.S.S. Federation Nation. "Eelgrass will hold bass 10 to 1 over man-made brushpiles. We are excited about the return of the eelgrass and what it has to offer the fish population."
Bralley added that the group plans to continue helping on this type of project in the future.
This article is part of the Habitat Improvement segment of the larger report, 2011 Annual Achievements in B.A.S.S. Conservation.

El Grande de Coca-Cola was the first off-Broadway show I ever saw, almost 35 years ago. I remember it was in the basement of a building on the West Side, and it was set up like a night club. The only other thing I can remember about the show was that it coincided with the first time I saw Monty Python on television later that night.

In this presentation, Mike Trace will describe how the US government has been the main architect and cheerleader for the international system of prohibition, and in particular two of its main articles of faith – aggressive repression of production and distribution of drugs, and mass arrest and harsh punishment of users. Over time, the limited impact of these strategies on the scale and harms associated with drug markets, and the significant negative consequences, have become better understood. Many countries around the world are therefore moving towards more health and human rights based approaches. Within the US itself, policy and strategies are changing rapidly, and Mr Trace will explore the potential for the USA to become a leader in promoting humane and effective drug policies, and an example of best practice in moving away from punitive and repressive policies.

text: Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. (NYSE: WHG) today reported 2011 first quarter revenues of $17.0 million, net income of $3.5 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.50. This compares to revenues of $13.2 million, net income of $2.9 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.40 in the first quarter of 2010. Economic Earnings were $6.1 million compared to $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2010. Economic Earnings per share ("Economic EPS") were $0.85 per diluted share compared to $0.74 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2010. (Economic Earnings and Economic EPS are non-GAAP performance measures and are explained and reconciled with the most comparable GAAP numbers in the attached tables.) Assets under management were $13.3 billion as of March 31, 2011, an increase of 25% compared to $10.6 billion as of March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to market appreciation of assets under management, the acquisition of McCarthy Group Advisors in November 2010 and asset inflows from new and existing clients, partially offset by the withdrawal of assets by certain clients. Mutual fund assets were $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2011, an increase of 83% compared to assets of $652 million as of March 31, 2010. Brian Casey, Westwood's President & CEO, commented, "We continued to capitalize on the momentum in our business this quarter as assets under management reached another record level. Our investment teams produced performance above the median of the respective peer group across most products and the WHG Funds surpassed $1 billion in assets with continued strong organic growth. We added our sixth and seventh funds to the WHG Funds family with the reorganization of the McCarthy Multi-Cap Stock Fund into the WHG Dividend Growth Fund (WHGDX) and the launch of the WHG SMidCap Plus Fund (WHGPX). We are also pleased that our fellow shareholders today approved an increase in the shares available for our stock incentive plan. We believe this validates the appeal of our shared ownership model; the additional shares will enable us to continue to align the incentives of our employee owners with other shareholders and our clients."

India asks Pak to give direct reply to dossier
India also indicated for the first time that it was ready to accept the trial of fugitives, suspected of involvement in the Mumbai carnage and terrorist attacks, in Pakistan.delhi Updated: Jan 16, 2009 00:03 IST
India on Thursday snubbed Pakistan's demand for more information about the Mumbai terror attack, saying it had handed over the dossier 10 days ago and asked Islamabad to give a "direct response" through diplomatic channels.
India also indicated for the first time that it was ready to accept the trial of fugitives, suspected of involvement in the Mumbai carnage and terrorist attacks, in Pakistan.
"The material linking the terrorist attacks to Pakistan was handed over formally to the Pakistan High Commissioner in New Delhi Jan 5," External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee told reporters, in response to comments by Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik.
"In stead of being informed through the media, I would be happy to receive a direct response from Pakistan through existing diplomatic channels, and to see Pakistan implementing her words," he said.
Malik, a top aide to President Asif Ali Zardari, Thursday repeated Islamabad's call for a joint investigation into the Mumbai carnage and urged India to hand over more information to assist Pakistan's own probe into the incident.
"We are fully committed to help India in this investigation," Malik said. "We have to prove to the world that India and Pakistan stand together against the terrorists because they are the common enemies."
Malik also said Pakistani investigating agencies would "inquire into" the information provided by India "to try to transform it to evidence, evidence which can stand the test of any court in the world and of course our own court of law."
New Delhi has indicated that it is ready to accept the trial of fugitives in the neighbouring country.
"It would be ideal if they (Pakistan government) can hand over the fugitives," Mukherjee told Indian news channel Aaj Tak Wednesday. "If that is not possible, there should at least be a fair trial of these fugitives in Pakistan."
India had handed Pakistan a dossier of evidence Jan 5 that included information on interrogations, weapons made in Pakistan and details of conversations over satellite phones between the terrorists and their handlers in Pakistan.
Pakistan is yet to formally respond to the 26/11 dossier.
In a statement to the National Assembly, Pakistan Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani rubbished the dossier saying it was merely information and not evidence.
Underscoring New Delhi's growing wariness with Pakistan's continuing pattern of evasiveness and denial, Mukherjee Wednesday said India was still awaiting a response and underlined that statements by Pakistani leaders only reinforced its doubts about Islamabad's capacity to act against terror.
"Pakistan must fully implement its international obligations under various legal instruments on terrorism," he stressed.

In spite of that, I sometimes miss a wonderful author, wondering after his or her books have come to my attention how in the world that happened. Of course, I guess there is an upside to this; once you discover someone who already has a body of work, you have a treasure trove of titles to explore, whereas discovering an author with the first novel means you have a wait for the next one.

Bourne Film Productions, Bourne Four Productions, Captivate Entertainment and Universal Pictures.
Written by: Tony Gilroy and Dan Gilroy (Screenplay); Tony Gilroy (Story); inspired by the novel "The Bourne Legacy" by Eric Van Lustbader and characters created in the "Jason Bourne" novel series by Robert Ludlum.
★★1/2 (out of 5 stars)
When Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass collectively walked away from a proposed fourth film in the wildly popular and increasingly successful Bourne film franchise, Universal Pictures opted to go forward anyway. By turning the series over completely to Oscar-nominated writer and director Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton), an architect of the cinematic Bourne franchise (Gilroy had co-written all three previous Bourne films), I am sure the studio felt things were in safe hands. Gilroy got a robust production budget and the greenlight to make this spin-off/relaunch/reboot/reinvention of the franchise the best way he saw fit.
And in the summer of 2012, The Bourne Legacy, very loosely based on the Eric Van Lustbader novel, arrives in theaters with Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker, The Town) assuming top billing as Aaron Cross, a secret intelligence agent who, like Jason Bourne before him, has been given several identities and been positioned all around the world. While it is never really clear if Cross has ever met Bourne personally, Cross cannot help but be aware of Bourne, as he, and we, hear Jason Bourne's name a lot and see his picture frequently in the opening minutes of the film.
From the beginning, Gilroy takes The Bourne Legacy in a different direction. The opening minutes of the film show us Aaron Cross stationed in the remote Alaskan wilderness, training, getting ready, popping pills, climbing mountains, and fighting off carnivorous wolves who likely survived Liam Neeson in The Grey from earlier this year. Concurrent to Cross' Alaskan adventures, we meet Edward Norton's character, Eric Byer, the new head of The Program, the secret agent installation that Cross and Bourne and an innumerable amount of agents are a part of. Rachel Weisz joins the series as Dr. Marta Shearing, a medical specialist who is involved in monitoring and overseeing a drug trial program for the agents in The Program.
Shearing and her team have been performing trials on the agents by creating and providing two different pills, which are genetically altering to those who take them. The blue pill (no, not that type of blue pill…) is designed to stimulate brain function and cognitive reasoning, while a green pill accelerates and increases strength, energy, and body mass. As Cross' supply of pills runs out, he decides to get out of Alaska, stumbling upon another agent in The Program known as Number Three (Oscar Isaac), and an uneasy alliance is formed. But back in Washington, D.C., Byer decides that with Jason Bourne gone, missing, and untraceable, The Program needs to be shut down and the agents involved executed. Systematically, Byer has the agents taken out, but when Cross gets away, the government focuses a sizable amount of resources on taking out Cross and Dr. Shearing, who Cross finds and partners with after Shearing survives a frightening laboratory shooting spree.
The Bourne trilogy in many ways redefined the secret agent movie for a generation, or at least the last decade. What was initiated effectively by director Doug Liman and perpetuated to impressive degree by director Paul Greengrass, the Bourne films were written extremely well, complex and intriguing without being laborious, and in Matt Damon, showcased a leading man who handled the action-movie requirements with proper intensity, physicality, and charisma. The Bourne franchise also cemented Damon as a top shelf, A-list movie star and despite being a bit older than Damon was at the outset of his trilogy, Jeremy Renner is seemingly on a parallel track with this Bourne film.
Renner is all in with this performance and quite clearly, he relishes the opportunity to finally have name-above-the-title recognition. With Oscar-winner Weisz at his side, Renner develops real and palpable chemistry with her and they make a pretty satisfying team. Weisz plays a scattered, frustrated, but willing assistant in Renner's survival and presents a different kind of female counterpart, when compared to what you commonly get in a film like this. True to her talents, Weisz finds believability here. Renner is also quite good and outside of their relationship, there are some deeply intense moments in The Bourne Legacy, not the least of which is the chilling and downright unsettling mass shooting scene in Shearing's medical laboratory.
And then we have the rest of the film. The largest issue with The Bourne Legacy is not only that it is bloated with exposition and backstory, rare for a fourth film in a series, but the entire premise of the film is borderline ridiculous. Throughout the film, Cross is motivated by essentially being an addict to his meds, or "Chems" as he calls them. I cannot count the number of times he demands that Dr. Shearing tell him where his "Chems" are, or implores her to help him find his drugs. Perhaps a drinking game can originate from this? After a while, you can tolerate that our hero is a drug-addicted man, addicted without his knowledge, fearful that his superhuman strength and intelligence will eventually run out and he will become easy pickings for his own government's kill team.
Then though, you start to think about that a little deeper. In a series that has shown us Jason Bourne outwitting secret agents, double agents, and besting the CIA, the federal government, and exposing and bringing to light two top secret criminal Operations, we now have a 135-minute film where a guy essentially wants to get those "Chems." To say the entire film becomes a letdown vis a vis anticipation and expectation is a bit of an understatement.
I am a big fan of Jeremy Renner and have long anticipated his "shot" at headlining movies. Coming off of his back-to-back Oscar nominations for The Hurt Locker and The Town, Renner's trajectory seems perfectly aligned to have him headline a franchise such as this one. Where he is sold short emanates from a surprisingly flimsy, one-note screenplay that may allow him to develop his Aaron Cross character a bit, but builds that development around a major achilles heel that is rather annoying and off-putting. Anticipating he will get one more go at this, I hope and trust Tony Gilroy returns to form with the next Bourne film and Renner's potential is not squandered; or even worse, he becomes viewed as a guy who cannot deliver in the spotlight.
The Bourne Legacy's failure should not be Renner's fault. After all, I cannot recall Matt Damon staggering around trying to score on a drug fix in any of his 342 or so minutes on screen as Jason Bourne.
- The Bourne films have a huge fanbase and this reboot of sorts will draw major interest from fans of the previous films.
- Fans of Jeremy Renner will finally be curious to see him headline a major studio project. He is more than ready and will not disappoint.
- Tony Gilroy orchestrates some impressive and intense sequences that almost make up for the film's glaring deficiencies. One scene in particular, the aforementioned laboratory shooting, is heart-stopping.
- I suppose this is a restart of sorts, but what a lackluster story to get behind and be intrigued by. I need My Chems after 135 minutes of this.
- More than one person who enjoyed the previous Bourne films has expressed frustration with this film. I have to assume a lot of people's expectations are going to fall short in seeing this play out on screen.
- Edward Norton and much of the supporting cast are reduced to minimal depth and nominal presence in the film. Norton's character is a key part to the story the government's angle to the story and yet he is seldom profound or compelling. Something is missing and I am not sure if it is the writing or Norton's performance.

Philadelphia Physicians for Social Responsibility and Women's Health & Environmental Network Announce Strategic Partnership
Posted: July 25, 2011
WHEN and Philadelphia PSR complement one another in mission and operations. WHEN has worked with National PSR and other local chapters throughout the country on environmental health issues including greening health care, healthy foods for health care, and toxic reforms. Philadelphia PSR has focused on decreasing interpersonal violence among youth. The merger is viewed as aligning Philadelphia PSR's programs with the national organization as well as other chapters. It will also provide the inclusion of updated evidence about the links among environment, violence prevention and public health.
"The missions of WHEN and Philadelphia PSR are intertwined," said President and Founder of WHEN Dr. Julie Becker. "Both organizations work to promote pro-social behavior, whether it's through decreasing environmental exposures or interpersonal violence. The merger will provide synergy between programs and content, thereby creating more opportunities to help people adopt healthier and safer lifestyles."
"It is a natural outgrowth of a long partnership between WHEN and Philadelphia PSR," acknowledged Kate Etherington, Executive Director of PSR. "We have collaborated with WHEN on environmental health issues and look forward to our merger so we can enhance the linkages between nonviolence and environmental health." Philadelphia PSR Board President, Dr. Walter Tsou noted that, "nationally, PSR is known for our environmental advocacy. Our environmental partnership with WHEN will complement our strong and well established anti-violence programs."
When the organizations merge, WHEN will become the environmental health division of Philadelphia PSR. As Dr. Becker succinctly describes the merger, "better together. Both organizations are 'better together' than as individual organizations."
The two organizations are committed to carry on with current programs and meet all program goals and objectives. Strategic assessments as reflected by the aligned missions of these organizations will enhance future programmatic offerings.
Questions can be directed to Kate Etherington, Executive Director of PSR, at 215-763-8703.

Even though I've been using Windows Azure for quite some time, a lot of the functionality is unexplored territory to me.
Recently, I took a look at Azure Blob Storage, and I was surprised by how simple it was.
Blob storage is simply a way to store stuff (mainly files). That's about the long and short of it. Here's how to get started:
I don't know of a way to directly upload blobs right from the Azure control panel (yet), but it's very simple to do with some C#. Just add Windows Azure Storage to your project with NuGet (Install-Package WindowsAzure.Storage).
You'll need to create a "connection string" to your storage service. The connection string is just:
Where yourServiceName is whatever your named your service. yourAccountKey can be grabbed right from your Azure Dashboard. Click on the service name and then click "Manage Access Keys" at the bottom of the screen. Copy "Primary Access Key" and paste it in there.
Now you're ready to write some C#. Here's a simple class that I wrote that lets you check for existence of a blob (by name), upload a new blob given a name and a stream (from a file uploaded to a web site, for instance), and a way to delete a blob (again, by name).
It's really that simple. Once you upload some files, go back to your Azure Dashboard and take a peek in the container. You'll see all the blobs there, as well as URIs to get to them.
It's so easy, that I've already moved the images for this site (Cross Cutting Concerns) over to Azure Storage (previously I was storing them off-site with traditional hosting).
Some drawbacks that I've noticed, and how I dealt with them:

More beat up than they look, I swear
Swapped the rope end biners for some mammut elements. They were originally all silver
Great Draws
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Snagged these for 40% off a while ago and for the price I really like them. The dog bones are really stiff and the rubber stoppers at the end rival that of the spirits. The biners are easy to clip and clean but aren't as smooth as I had hoped. They are fairly lightweight and are very durable. A great way to start building a sport/trad rad. The only thing I don't like is that both biners are the same color, which I'snt bad its just personal preference to have each one be a different color because it lets me know which end is which with a quick glance. So if you're like i am get the set with the red bottom biners. However for a little more money I would recommend getting a 6 pack of petzl djinns.

12. 12. 2008 - Prestigious US Magazine Names Czech Airlines as the Best Airline in Central and Eastern Europe
Prague, 12 December 2008
Czech Airlines has earned the award as the "Best Airline in Central and Eastern Europe", from the prestigious American magazine Business Traveler. The gala and the award ceremony took place on 11 December 2008 in Los Angeles, California. The magazine annually announces its awards on the basis of a reader survey. Czech Airlines has earned this title for the second year in a row.
The respondents to the survey evaluated such factors as the in-flight service and the airlines' offer of target destinations. The earning of the award is due to the many innovations by which Czech Airlines strives to make its passenger's flying experience more pleasant. In addition to an improvement of in-flight services, including new menus on board, Czech Airlines significantly expanded the Internet Check-in option last year, and with the summer season it introduced complimentary baggage wrapping in safety foil, for all its passengers flying from its home airport in Prague. A recent innovation in the last few months is complimentary taxi carriage, to or from Prague Airport, for Business Premium passengers.
"Czech Airlines very much values the positive evaluation it received from the readers of this prestigious travel magazine. The repeated earning of the award shows that the Airline is managing to maintain the high standard of its services, even in the present time of a crisis in aviation," said Czech Airlines' President, Radomír Lašák.
The Business Traveler magazine is a top periodical concerned with business travel. It is published ten times a year with a circulation of 150,000 copies and is designed for the North American market.
This year, Czech Airlines has already won several awards. For the fifth time in a row, it was declared The Best Airline in Central and Eastern Europe, which is a prize awarded by the international aviation organisation Official Airline Guide, on the basis of the votes of frequent business travellers. Another award that Czech Airlines has won this year is the title The Best Airline in Central Europe, in the World Airline Award competition. At the beginning of the year, Czech Airlines also won, for the eight time, the title The Best Airline, in the TTG Travel Awards 2007, of the industry magazine TTG Czech.

WHAT is the price of fame? It appears that access to a private jet can buy a lot of favours in the celebrity world.
While high-profile people are used to being offered cash inducements to appear at events, Sydney's party planners have become a little more creative, judging by The Star's opening night.
Olivia Newton-John was lured down to Pyrmont after being offered a flight to Sydney on the revamped casino's private jet.
The actor Leonardo DiCaprio was given a similar incentive to appear at Thursday's bash, with the Echo Entertainment Group chief executive, Larry Mullin, promising use of the jet while he's in Sydney filming The Great Gatsby. Russell Crowe was compelled to attend, given that The Star is a major sponsor of his beloved Rabbitohs. The casino signed a three-year multi-million-dollar deal with the football team last year, ensuring a continuing relationship with Crowe.
Although the Oscar winner took to the stage to open the new-look casino, he said nothing as part of the formalities.
DiCaprio's presence at the opening was a coup for the organisers, although they have dismissed reports that he is bunking down in a suite at the casino's new five-star hotel, The Darling, noting that the building hasn't been completed.
While The Star's A-listers can't be bought with mere cash - DiCaprio is, after all, the world's highest-paid actor - it seems there are plenty who will RSVP to an open chequebook.
The British cook Nigella Lawson was reportedly paid more than $150,000 to fly to Australia to appear in Channel Ten's MasterChef this year.
The reality television star Khloe Kardashian comes with a price tag of about $90,000.
But few can top the $600,000 Paris Hilton was reportedly paid to flog John Singleton's Bondi Blonde beer in 2008.
Not all celebrities come with such high fees. An appearance by the television presenter Tania Zaetta costs about $2500 while the actress Maria Venuti will cheerfully strut the red carpet for $2000, and she is known to waive her fee for charity events.

Tracing Coffee's Roots in Ethiopia
April 16, 2013
From coffee farm to coffeehouse, what does it take to bring one of the world's most popular beverages to consumers? David Farley of AFAR Magazine recently traveled to Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, to find out.
What does it take to craft a cup of coffee? David Farley of AFAR Magazine traced the roots of one of the world's most ubiquitous beverages to Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. There, he traveled through the country's coffee-growing regions to learn about the crop's central role in local culture and everyday life.
The first thing Azeb wanted to know about me was if I was on Facebook. After that she got to the less important stuff: Where I was from, if I was married, had kids, believed in God—and what was I doing in southern Ethiopia? Azeb, a 25-year-old business student with big glowing eyes and long dark hair, was born and raised not far from where we were having breakfast. We ended up sitting together when we realized we were the only people in the dining room at the Lesiwon Hotel in Yirgacheffe, the namesake town of a region known to coffee cognoscenti for producing some of Ethiopia's highest-quality coffee beans.
As Azeb scooped up pieces of her omelet with torn-off hunks of bread, as is the Ethiopian custom, I stabbed at mine with a fork and told her about my travels thus far in her country. But it was something I mentioned in passing that seriously broke the ice. Until this trip—specifically the day prior to our chance encounter, when I had driven down from Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, to the southern part of the country—I had never seen a coffee tree.
Azeb's mouth fell open, her head tilted heavenward, and she let out a high-pitched laugh. "You'd never seen a coffee cherry before?" she said, and then she just stared at me, her mouth still agape, as if I'd just casually asked her if airplanes drive on invisible roads in the sky.
Read more from AFAR, including a visit with TechnoServe-assisted coffee farmers in western Ethiopia.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - The No. 1 Portland Pilots are the 2005 NCAA National Champions after a dominating 4-0 win against the No. 4 UCLA Bruins in the College Cup Final at Aggie Soccer Stadium on Sunday. Senior striker Christine Sinclair scored twice giving her 39 goals this season for a new NCAA single-season record. Sophomore midfielder Angie Woznuk added a goal and two assists, while freshman forward Megan Rapinoe also scored and recorded an assist to give UP its second national title in the past four years. The Pilots (23-0-2) are only the second national champion (North Carolina, 10 times) to finish a season unbeaten. The Bruins finish the season at 22-2-2. It's the second-straight loss in the College Cup Final for UCLA as Notre Dame defeated the Bruins in 2004 on penalty kicks.
It's the second national title in any sport for the University of Portland. UP won the 2002 NCAA Women's Soccer National Championship, meaning the four current Pilot seniors, Sinclair, midfielder Lindsey Huie, defender Kelsy Hollenbeck and forward Colleen Salisbury, finish their careers on The Bluff with two national titles. Portland also becomes just the third school in NCAA history with multiple titles, joining North Carolina's 17 championships and Notre Dame's two.
"What do you say after a game like that?" asked Portland coach Garrett Smith. "The first thought through my head was, 'Clive (Charles), there's number two for you.' This program was built on a great foundation and this team just showed the whole country what it's built out of. It's built out of a lot of class, a lot of talent, and a lot of hard work, and a foundation that will always be with us."
The Pilots wasted little time getting on the board as Woznuk scored Portland's fastest goal this season in the second minute. Huie started the play when she stole a UCLA pass about 30 yards out from the Bruins' goal. Huie then found Rapinoe who advanced it toward the 18-yard box. The Bruin defense collapsed on Rapinoe who sent a pass to an unmarked Woznuk in the middle of the box. Woznuk punched it inside the right post giving Portland the early 1-0 advantage. The score was the first allowed by the Bruins this postseason. "I think as far as the goal goes, that's exactly what we needed," said Woznuk. "To score a goal that early makes the other team question a little bit what they are capable of."
UCLA had its first good look in the 15th minute when sophomore midfielder Danesha Adams made a run down the middle of the field. UP junior goalie Cori Alexander and junior defender Kari Evans momentarily slowed down Adams, but the ball deflected to the left inside the penalty box. Adams had an open net, but from a difficult angle from the extreme left of the goal, her shot from 10 yards out hit the side netting of the Pilot goal.
UP responded with another goal six minutes later from Sinclair, the reigning national player of the year. Sinclair ended a career-long three-game scoreless streak off a perfect ball from Woznuk. Woznuk made a run down the middle of the field but reversed direction about six yards from the goal. Woznuk passed it back to streaking Sinclair who fired a rocket into the top right corner of the net from the top of the box to make it 2-0. Sinclair added her second goal of the game with about 4:00 left in the half. Sophomore forward Natalie Budge's cross from the right made it through a handful of defenders and found Sinclair inside the box to the left of the goal. Sinclair made a turn, beating the UCLA defender, and went low just inside the far post for a 3-0 Pilot lead. It's the 110th career goal for Sinclair, second most in NCAA Division I history, and gives her 25 career post-season goals, an NCAA record. Her 56 career post-season points are also tops in NCAA history and her 252 overall career points are fourth best all-time.
Portland suffered a scare in the second half when Sinclair hit the turf after bumping knees with UCLA's McCall Zerboni. Sinclair was on the field clutching her right knee for about a minute before climbing to her feet. She stayed in the game and appeared to be all right. UCLA tried to apply more pressure in the second half, but it was the Pilots who dominated the time of possession. The Bruins recorded eight shots in the second half, but never seriously challenged the Pilot frame.
Portland was able to find the net one more time to take a 4-0 lead. Woznuk fed Rapinoe just outside the box to the right of the arch. Rapinoe cut back towards the middle of the field to lose her defender and finished inside the near post with her left foot just out of the reach of Bruin goalie Valerie Henderson. It's the 15th goal this season for Rapinoe and her sixth of the post season. Woznuk picked up her ninth assist.
This marks Portland's first win ever against UCLA as the Bruins won the previous three meetings. Portland finished the match with a slight 13-12 advantage in shots and had five shots on goal to the Bruins' four. Alexander made three saves for her 11th shutout this season. Henderson made one save for UCLA. "I felt like we were completely focused," Huie said. "Nothing could pull us away from what we planned to do because we had absolutely nothing to lose today."
The Bruins had five corner kicks, while Portland had only three. The Bruins also picked up three yellow cards in the contest.
Sinclair was named the tournament's offensive MVP, while Alexander was named the defensive MVP. Huie, Woznuk, Rapinoe and sophomore defender Stephanie Lopez were named to the all-tournament team.
Approximately 1,200 Pilot fans packed into the Chiles Center to watch Portland's victory shown on a large projection screen.

I see couples of all different variations and types, both alternative and mainstream. The same basic skills are critical to teach.

Helping couples to grow together in their relationship, one for the other, is a most exciting process. People grow as individuals in a social context. When two people grow together in trust they each maximize the growth potential of the other. When couples have struggles that challenge their union each is invited to invest more intimately in their relationship. Fears can be conquered and belief in the other can be increased greatly. Communication can be improved immensely as well.

Each individual comes from a rich background of experiences and cultural messages which ultimately leads to misunderstandings in communication. Couples counseling allows for a place for each person to explore and present their views in a safe and validating environment. From there it is then possible to map out goals as a team and address those underlying issues which show up in a relationship over and over.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don't agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

Dog Helps Save Owner
A Massachusetts man is alive, thanks in part to his trusty pooch. John Miles was walking "Lucy" in Dorchester just before Thanksgiving when both he and the dog were hit by a car. Miles was knocked unconscious, but Lucy managed to limp with a broken leg to a nearby dentist's office and bark for help. She then dragged her way back to John's side and waited for emergency crews to arrive. Miles wasn't carrying any identification, so authorities used Lucy's ID tags to figure out who they were. The husky-beagle mix and her owner are both recuperating from numerous injuries.

The Napthine government has been forced to abandon a key election promise of setting up a parliamentary budget office after Maverick MP Geoff Shaw voted with Labor.
In a sign the balance-of-power MP will continue to derail the government's legislative agenda, Mr Shaw voted with Labor on amendments to the election costing service, which would have made it operate for the entire year rather than just in the lead up to state elections.
Mr Shaw issued a statement on Thursday afternoon saying he opposed the government's legislation because it did not give the election costing service enough time to complete "all required analysis".
"Moreover, I feel there is a need for an officer position more on a permanent basis, fulfilling this role at all times, not just in the lead up to an election," he said.
The government's bill to set up the office has now lapsed and Attorney General Robert Clark said it would not be re-drafted unless there was a significant change of heart from the Labor party.
The Coalition government promised to establish a parliamentary budget office in 2010 to cost political parties' election commitments.
Mr Clark blamed the saga on the Labor party, and said they did not want to be accountable for their "dodgy policy costings".
Mr Shaw also needed to account for how he chose to vote, he said.
"Mr Shaw only has a say if the Labor party give him a say."
He said he briefed Mr Shaw on the matter but refused to say whether Mr Shaw had any concerns with the legislation.
"It is a matter for Mr Shaw as to how he chose to vote. I am, to be honest, surprised that he chose to vote against this measure."
Labor opposed the government's proposed parliamentary budget office because they said it did not allow enough time to cost election promises, and should operate for 12 months of the year.
''Unless there is a change of heart in the parliament, there will not be an independent parliamentary budget office,'' Mr Clark said.
''Labor have deliberately structured an amendment to defeat this bill.''
He said Mr Shaw had not raised any concerns with him about a lack of resources for independent MPs.
On Tuesday, Mr Shaw voted with Labor to defeat the government's business agenda, which means their timetable for passing laws will not be met.
Mr Shaw has vowed to assess each bill on its merits and said he had adopted a "week-by-week approach".
"I'll vote the way that I think that I should vote," he said on Wednesday.
"Week by week, I'm an independent member of Parliament."
Shadow Treasurer Tim Pallas said Premier Denis Napthine could no longer rely on the support of the Parliament.
"A state and a Parliament that can longer function is bad for jobs, bad for investment and bad for our future,'' he said.
He said the situation was without precedent since 1933.
''A temporary parliamentary budget office does not fit with the realities of public policy debate, and misses an opportunity to make a genuine improvement to the quality of debate in this state.''

- 1 iMacros WebBrowser Component
- 2 Getting Started
- 3 What else you should know
- 4 Remarks
- 5 License FAQ
iMacros WebBrowser Component
The embeddable iMacros WebBrowser Component gives you the ability to build your own .NET application with all of the playback power of the iMacros Browser.
The iMacros WebBrowser Component comprises a tabbed web browser control that includes the dialog manager, Image Recognition, DirectScreen, and all the other playback functionality available in the iMacros Browser. It is a fully functional Visual Studio Toolbox Control.
Getting Started
1. Unpack the zip file to any place in your development machine. The main folder iMacrosComponent contains 2 other sub-folders: Bin and Docs. In Docs you find the documentation in web style of the exposed namespaces and their members. The Bin folder contains the dlls needed to compile and run iMacros.
2. Open a new windows forms project. Target it to the x86 platform.
3. Add a reference to iMacrosComponent\Bin\iMacros.Component.dll. Build the solution. On compiling, Visual Studio copies iMacros.Component.dll to the current configuration bin folder, together with some of its dependencies: Microsoft.mshtml.dll and Interop.SHDocVw.dll (supposing that you have the reference property "Copy Local" set to true)
4. Copy also the other dlls from the iMacrosComponent\Bin folder to your project's bin\configuration folder. There are 10 dlls altogether. They are necessary during runtime.
5. Now you are ready to add an iMacrosControl to your form. The iMacrosControl cannot be added in the designer. Use the factory method iMacrosControl.Create() to instantiate an iMacrosControl object in your code. Add it to the form's or a panel's controls (see sample projects).
What else you should know
1. The first time you run your application in an user account which has never installed or used iMacros, a folder structure similar to the one used by the iMacros Browser is created in the user's Documents folder. You can control this by setting in advance - either in your installer, or in your application before iMacrosControl is instantiated - the proper registry strings in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ipswitch\iMacros (both 32 and 64 bit OS): FolderDataSources, FolderDownloads, FolderLogs, FolderMacros.
2. A few other properties of the iMacros player, which might be of interest, are stored in the same HKCU key:
- PlaybackSpeed (Fast) [corresponds to macro variable !REPLAYSPEED]
- TimeoutPage (60) [corresponds to macro variable !TIMEOUT_PAGE]
- MasterPassword [Encrypted. Please, contact support if you need to change this]
- EncryptionPasswordMode (Storedkey) [corresponds to macro variable !ENCRYPTION]
- ScriptErrorsSuppressed (True) [controls if script errors are immediately dismissed by the dialog manager]
- UseRegionalSettings (False) [controls if csv files use the regional settings separator or a comma (US)]
- LogEvents (True) [whether a log file is produced at each run. The file name can be set with !FILELOG]
- Profiler (False) [whether to write a performance profile xml file. See http://wiki.imacros.net/Log_Performance]
3. By default, the browser control emulates IE7. In order to have it emulating a newer version of Internet Explorer, your application has to be listed in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION. For instance, YourApplication.exe, value 9000, for IE9 (see http://wiki.imacros.net/IE9_Nags#What_IE_compatibility_mode_does_the_webbrowser_control_use.3F).
4. When deploying your application, deploy also the iMacros dlls (in the Bin folder, 10 altogether.) iMacros expects to find these dlls in the same directory as your executable.
It is not possible to control two iMacrosControl instances in a single application at the same time. When we were designing iMacros, we chose - for performance reasons - to have a few static classes and properties. Two iMacrosControl instances will, of course, share those static objects. However, if you dispose of iMacrosControl, these static objects are reset, and you can create a new iMacrosControl instance, which will not be influenced by the disposed one.
License FAQ
Does the component have the same features as the iMacros Enterprise Edition?
The iMacros WebBrowser component has all of the playback features as the Enterprise Edition plus additional functions, such as optional callbacks for status updates. It does not provide recording functionality, so you need at least one other version of iMacros for recording.
Do you still need any kind of iMacros installation at all?
No. You can ship it with just the 10 .dll files that come with the component. No additional iMacros installation is required.
Does the purchase of the control have future upgrade costs or continual yearly subscription to get newer versions?
The software is licensed for perpetual use. It never "expires". In addition, the license includes one year of free, unlimited updates.

Trevor Hill presents Hand to Mouth: a monthly, topic-based comedy show where each edition explores a specific social, cultural or political issue. One show, one topic.
October's Topic: Stereotypes.
On October 4th, comics Scott Capurro (BBC, Guardian UK), Kaseem Bentley ("Comic to Watch in 2013" -SF Weekly), Dhaya Lakshminarayanan (NPR's Snap Judgement), Nicole Calasich (SF Sketchfest), Zack Chiapellone (Punchline), Adam Pasi (Helium) and Johan Miranda (Cobb's) will join Trevor in discussing scapegoating, stigmatization, cognitive bias, discrimination theory, and how all people from Denmark are stinky.
Hand to Mouth: Stereotypes
Friday, October 4th @ 10:00PM
The Dark Room (2263 Mission St.)
Cover: $5 Advance, $8 at the Door.
Every First Friday of the Month!
Hand to Mouth is a one-of-a-kind show that asks comedians to write and perform all new material on a specific social, cultural or political issue. One show, one topic. Comedian Trevor Hill assembles the brightest comics in San Francisco and beyond to find the funny in such topics as commercialism, technology, gender and conspiracy theories. Performers include up-and-comers alongside veteran comics who have appeared on NBC, MTV, E! and Comedy Central. Hand to Mouth uses a mixture of stand-up, debate, earnest opinion, activism and multimedia presentations in order to provide the audience with not only laughs, but a sense of edification. "It would appear allowing comedians to stretch their creativity to encompass yet redefine a specific theme is as good for them as it was for us…" -San Francisco Guardian
The Dark Room Theater FAQ
Can I Bring In Booze?
Nope! The Dark Room Theater is an all ages venue that could be shut down if the wrong people happened to see booze inside!
Aw... But Really?
Yes... Really and for realsies.
Where Are The Restrooms?
The restrooms are located past the stage, down the hall, red doors on the left.
So, Can I Use Them During The Show?
During the majority of performances at The Dark Room Theater we ask that unless it is an emergency you use the restroom before the show begins or after it has ended. Shows almost never run longer than one hour.
The Show I REALLY Wanted To See Sold Out Online! Help What Do I Do?
Shows at The Dark Room Theater have limited seating with a slightly restricted view available at the door, once doors open. Doors tend to open 30 minutes before the show's starting time. No tickets will be sold at the door before the doors open.
What If I Call/Email/Knock On The Door/Offer A Vial Of Blood AND/OR Unborn Child?
Still the same deal as above... Please don't do the last one.
I Keep Calling The Night Of A Show Because I Have Questions, Why Won't Anyone Pick Up?
Due to how frantic things can get as we gear up for our shows we turn the ringers off generally around an hour before a night of shows begins. Also, we don't like it when shows get interrupted by phones ringing. This means that if we have shows running until 12am, the phones are off until then. You can always send in an email, which has a far better chance of being noticed.
In order to purchase these tickets in installments, you'll need an Eventbrite account. Log in or sign up for a free account to continue.
