text: I'm working with some toy routing queues and I don't understand why these things aren't working. Here's the specs: Torque 2.3.0 the output of pbs_server is below: create queue small set queue small queue_type = Execution set queue small Priority = 20 set queue small resources_max.nodes = 1 set queue small resources_min.nodes = 1 set queue small resources_default.nodes = 1 set queue small enabled = True set queue small started = True # # Create and define queue default # create queue default set queue default queue_type = Route set queue default route_destinations = large set queue default route_destinations += medium set queue default route_destinations += small set queue default enabled = True set queue default started = True # # Create and define queue medium # create queue medium set queue medium queue_type = Execution set queue medium Priority = 20 set queue medium resources_max.nodes = 7 set queue medium resources_min.nodes = 2 set queue medium resources_default.nodes = 4 set queue medium enabled = True set queue medium started = True # # Create and define queue large # create queue large set queue large queue_type = Execution set queue large Priority = 20 set queue large resources_max.nodes = 32 set queue large resources_min.nodes = 8 set queue large resources_default.nodes = 10 set queue large enabled = True set queue large started = True # # Set server attributes. # set server scheduling = True set server acl_hosts = xxx.xxx.lsa.umich.edu set server managers = maui at xxx.xxx.lsa.umich.edu set server managers += root at xxx.xxx.lsa.umich.edu set server default_queue = default set server log_events = 511 set server mail_from = adm set server query_other_jobs = True set server scheduler_iteration = 600 set server node_check_rate = 150 set server tcp_timeout = 6 set server log_level = 0 set server queue_centric_limits = True set server next_job_number = 507 As you can see, a really basic routing model. The problem is that when a job of 4 nodes is submitted, it gets dropped right in the first queue, large, rather than getting dropped down to the medium queue, where it should be. If I disable and stop the first queue, it skips to the small queue, rather than using the medium Execution queue. I've tried using tracejob and increasing the log_level (to 7) at the server level to determine what logic the server is using to place the jobs, but that's not enough, the best info I get is: 07/11/2008 08:04:42 S enqueuing into default, state 1 hop 1 07/11/2008 08:04:42 S dequeuing from default, state QUEUED 07/11/2008 08:04:42 S enqueuing into large, state 1 hop 1 Has anyone else seen a problem like this? What other steps can I take to try to diagnose the problem? I've tried: recreating the entire pbs_server database. pbs_server -t create flipping the order of the queues (the order is always first queue gets the job). At first I used Maui, I switched to pbs_sched later on and it still isn't working right, which is why I suspect a setting in qmgr is the culprit. Thanks for any help you can give, and let me know if you need more info. -jeremy -- Jeremy Hallum System Adminstrator, Research Systems Group LSA Information Technology University of Michigan jhallum at umich.edu

... for years I wondered, and then I learned
When I moved into the Jonathan Cochrane House in May of 2010, I
asked many people, ōWho was Jonathan Cochrane?ö My query was met with blank
stares, or a shrug and an ōI donÆt know.ö
Finally, with the considerable help of The History of Melrose by Elbridge Henry
Goss, published by the City of Melrose in 1902, I found answers to my question.
The libraryÆs copy of the precious book does not circulate, but Richard Mockler,
long associated with the Melrose Historical Society, kindly let me use his copy
of the book for my research.
The story centers around the Congregational Church in Melrose and starts in the
late 1840Æs. Services were held in the home of Dr. Levi Gould, then living on
Main Street. On page 143 of the Goss book, in a chapter entitled ōEcclesiastical
History,ö we read ōAfter two, possibly three, of these Sunday services at Dr.
GouldÆs, the parlors of Deacon Jonathan Cochran on Grove Street, being larger,
were opened for these meetings; and here, April 25, 1848, began the first
preaching services, by Reverend Stillman Pratt, who afterwards became the first
settled pastor.ö (WriterÆs comment: Jonathan CochranÆs surname is consistently
spelled without an ōeö at the end. The ōeö shows up in the 1890Æs, appended to
the surname of Maurice G. Cochrane, JonathanÆs grandson.)
In May of 1848, Jonathan Cochran was on a committee ōappointed to call a Council
of Churches to advise and if deemed expedient, to form a church in accordance
with the Congregational form.ö The original twelve members of this new church
included Jonathan Cochran and his wife Mary, as well as Levi Gould.
Throughout his long life, Jonathan Cochran was active in town and church
affairs. For instance, in a chapter called ōFirst and Last Town Meetings,ö we
read that ōThe first warrant for a Town Meeting dated May 6, 1850, was issued by
Elbridge Green, Esq., Justice of the Peace, and was directed to Jonathan
Cochran, Esq., another Justice of the Peace.ö
Jonathan became a Selectman in 1851 and also served continuously as Assessor
from 1854 to 1860. In 1854, he was appointed by the Board of Aldermen to be Town
Clerk for a period of two years at a salary of $8.00 per annum. He was elected
Clerk pro tem several times. For most of the 1850Æs, he served on the Town
Financial Committee.
In GossÆs book the next mention of Jonathan Cochran is in a chapter entitled
ōCemeteriesö. He served on the Cemetery Committee as well as on a committee
called the Burying Ground Committee. A plan of the Village Burying Ground was
made by Deacon Jonathan Cochran in the late nineteenth century and shortly
before his decease he delivered it to John Larrabee, then Town Clerk, and it is
now in the possession of the city.
Jonathan Cochran died January 6, 1885, aged 93 years and 6 months, having been
deacon for thirty-six years.

So… this happened.
Last week I spoke to about 200 women (#stress) at a summer women's Bible study based on Psalm 51. I got a few requests to post my talk on the ol' blog, so here it is! As difficult as it is to post (so much vulnerability, so many feels), I'm praying it encourages and blesses you!
What was going through your mind the last 30 seconds? Did you think or assume something was wrong? Did that conclusion lead to action? Maybe you looked around at those sitting near you or to the back for someone frantically rushing to the stage, realizing they had missed their cue? Remember those feelings, the conclusions you came to based on what you did, or didn't, see.
The Lord is so funny y'all. I've known since agreeing to speak tonight that the Lord wanted me to share with you my struggle in singleness, how He is continually working out restoration in me and continually bringing me back to joy and hope found only in him, not in my circumstances. What I didn't know was that a week before I would stand on this stage, I would go on three dates, with three different guys. I can't even make that up. Let me let you in on how much I date. I don't. Before last week, I considered one date per year, #winning. Not that the desire isn't there, believe me it is, but the process, the pressure, the lack of single men that love Jesus… Let me tell you, it is stressful. So stressful that I wore the same outfit on all three dates. That's the truth. The sheer thought of picking out multiple outfits was too much. But I must say, my hope for an end to my singleness came alive, especially on date number two. I got in the car to meet this guy and God Bless The Broken Road was playing on the radio… so that clearly means something. However, I stand before you fighting for joy in the midst of days that are hopeful, and days I'm pressed with doubt and disappointment – sometimes contingent on a single text message. So silly.

Unless you want to route a different subnet to every AP, I'd suggest a

FRESH advice has been issued this week to residents affected by last month's devastating floods as the clean up continues.
Residents affected by sewer flooding can contact Thames Water, which is able to provide help with the clean-up process.
If water affecting gardens, driveways or the inside of homes has now subsided, call 0845 9200 800 and response teams can assist with clearing any sewer litter and disinfecting floors.
Homes along Pound Lane, Quarrydale Drive and other low lying areas have all seen problems with backed-up sewers spewing raw sewage into the street.
Wycombe District Council, which delivered thousands of sandbags to flood-threatened residents, is urging residents to keep hold of sandbags if they have room to store them, but only if the bags have not been contaminated by floodwater.
Used bags will be collected by council teams, though due to the numbers involved, able-bodied residents are asked to return them to where they were collected.
Alternatively, people can add them to the pile of bags forming in Court Garden Car Park, which acted as the hub for the multi-agency relief effort.
Residents are also urged to offer help to elderly or less able neighbours who may have stocks of sandbags to return.
A Council spokesman said:: "Wycombe District Council's contractors, Serco, have started the clear-up of flood debris and sandbags from Marlow.
"Please bear with us as we undertake this task which may take some time due to the large number of sandbags requiring removal."
If sandbags have been contaminated, they should be ideally handled with gloves, and affected clothes should be washed on a separate cycle to avoid the spread of bacteria commonly found in standing floodwater.

Did National Public Radio really fire Juan Williams for his remarks about Muslims—or the forum in which he made them?
For example National Public Radio developed radio for the deaf that reads out NPR radio on a screen.
Whatever the firing of Juan Williams does, or does not, say about National Public Radio, it says a lot about the American right.
The paper quotes a "United States Marine Corps review of the attack" as discussed on National Public Radio.
National Public Radio recently wrote just such a speculative piece on Kenya, and CNN had its own version on Jamaica.
As he declared on National Public Radio: "People can't live on snark and vicious gossip alone."
Rucker to National Public Radio: "When I was a kid, you could hear Stevie Wonder and Buck Owens on the same channel."
In the clamor to break news get on the air, CNN, Fox News, and National Public Radio all declared Giffords dead at one point.
Kati Marton is an author and journalist who has reported for ABC News, National Public Radio as well as a number of print outlets.
But fears that the rally might be seen as (gasp) political prompted National Public Radio to ban its journalists from attending.

This is quite possibly my one of my favorite chartporn graphics ever. At first appearance, it's a graphic on tech gadget purchases (yes, FM radios were once considered high tech), but if you read into it a bit, it's also a look at the enormous quantity of money that's been paid by consumers over a span of 78 years (1920 – 1998) to satisfy our basic need of keeping in touch and consuming content.
Naturally, as an investor, if you spotted the trends early, invested as they were going mainstream, and got out when industry growth began to expire (market penetration 80 to 90%), you probably did fairly well for yourself.

Furnace Creek
Furnace Creek is the heart of Death Valley and the best place to begin your visit to this incredible natural wonder. Experience the 1800s with a visit to the Furnace Creek Ranch, including the Borax Museum, 49er Café, Wrangler Steakhouse, and Corkscrew Saloon. The four-diamond Furnace Creek Inn resort opened in 1927, and every detail comes with a story. Furnace Creek Inn has played host to movie stars and world leaders. Enjoy modern amenities too, with an 18 hole golf course, 19th Hole Snackbar, swimming pools, tennis courts, great dining at the Inn Dining Room, saloons and gift shops. New in 2008: the largest private solar panel array in the U.S. Annual special events include the 49ers Reenactment, Art Shows and Astronomy events.
Zabriskie Point
Zabriskie Point is one of the easiest places to reach only about 5 miles from the park visitor center and right off of Highway 190. It is probably the most photographed point in all of Death Valley. Over looking the golden colored mudstone hills that are sometimes referred to as the "Badlands of Death Valley," Zabriskie Point offers one of the most incredible views of any part of Death Valley. After reaching the point from the Zabriskie Point parking lot, the panoramic view also includes Manly Beacon, shaped like a sharks tooth. This point is particularly spectacular in the early morning light, as well as a view of the valley floor.
Ubehebe Crater
Over a dozen volcanoes dot the landscape of Ubehebe volcanic field. Ubehebe Crater is the largest and youngest volcanic feature, Little Hebe crater is at lower right. The paved road to the crater ends at a parking area on the north rim, though an unpaved road continues, bending back south and heading towards various remote back country areas including The Racetrack. Ubehebe Crater has a trail around the rim and a steep path down. The crater is even more colorful in spring, when yellow and purple micro flowers grow amongst the jet black ash on the upper slopes. Other paths wind through more cinder cones and craters, such as the much smaller Little Hebe Crater, which cover an area of several square miles to the south.
Titus Canyon
This incredible 27 mile drive covers a wide range of interests, from geology to Native American petroglyphs to an old mining town. If you are very lucky, you may see some desert bighorn sheep. Start off outside of the park in Nevada and drive one way back into the park. This route takes you through some of the most interesting geology in the park. After about 15 miles, you will come to the ghost town of Leadville, started mostly on hype. Leadville only lasted about two years, but for mining buffs, it is a great example with a number of intact buildings. The last 4 miles of the drive take you through the narrows of Titus Canyon. The rock walls are scoured by flash floods, and rise hundreds of feet high, but are less than 20 feet wide in some places.
To get to Titus Canyon you first have to leave the park, headed east towards Beatty, Nevada. After you cross over the border into Nevada, it is almost 3 miles to the turn off for Titus Canyon on the left hand side of the road. This is a dirt road, and high clearance vehicles are needed.
Tecopa Hot Springs
Originally Tecopa Hot Springs (called Yaga then) was the largest Native settlement in the region because of its natural hot springs, wildlife and wetlands, and proximity to the trading routes that became known as the Old Spanish Trail. A series of hard-rock mining camps in the late 1800s were named Tecopa after a Paiute leader who was famous for negotiating peace during those rough and tumble days. In 1908, the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad built the Tecopa station, running through the spectacular Amargosa Canyon. Today's traveler can take advantage of pristine desert landscapes, vivid sunsets, and Tecopa Hot Springs' healing mineral waters at three different resorts with private baths and campgrounds with full hook-up RV spaces, the Poo-Ha-Bah Native Healing Center, or the Inyo County campground, with separate bath houses for men and women. The area blossoms with winter travelers during temperate months. Other amenities include massage services, Pastels Bistro, the Tecopa Basin Artist Gallery (both at the historic Tecopa Hot Springs Resort), an international hostel, post office, elementary school, and a variety of small shops.
In spring and fall, vast flocks of migratory birds take advantage of the marshes and surrounding canyons, particularly Grimshaw Lake, a great birding locale and protected wetland. Spring wildflower viewing, photography, bicycling, gliding, and hiking in the Kingston, Tecopa, Ibex and Sheepshead mountains are also excellent activities
Stovepipe Wells Village
Stovepipe Wells Village, located approximately 24 miles northwest of Furnace Creek, is geared towards family travel where unique is the norm and the unexpected is expected. At Stovepipe Wells Village you can explore ancient rock formations, swim year round in a sparkling heated swimming pool, watch the sun set behind surrealistic sand dunes and lay your eyes on such unique animal life as squeaking lizards. And, you're just a short distance from the most photographed sand dunes in the world, making Stovepipe Wells Village the perfect place to headquarter your Death Valley adventures.
In addition to lodging and camping, Stovepipe Wells Village also includes a gas station, convenience store, the Toll Road Restaurant and Badwater Saloon.
Shoshone Village
Perched at the southeastern edge of Death Valley and a gateway to the southern Amargosa basin, the village of Shoshone is enjoyed by travelers from around the world. A lush oasis complete with a warm spring pool, inn, RV park, general store and gift shop, harkening back to yesteryear, two eateries and an airport, it is a piece of paradise in the vast Mojave desert This charming village also offers visitors a health center, post office and a museum which offers free wireless Internet access. Meander through the cemetery; explore the Dublin Gulch caves or the Tonopah and Tidewater railroad grade. Stroll by historic buildings, or hike in the surrounding hills. Stop by the Amargosa Conservancy for information about the area's unique ecology. Browse the Gift Shop in the Shoshone Museum and meet our mammoths. It's a great place to learn about the area's fascinating geology, wildlife and flowers, and history spanning from the time of prehistoric animals through First American culture to mining, farming, bootlegging and more.

Scotty's Castle
Fifty-three miles from Furnace Creek Inn & Ranch and within the park boundaries, Scotty's Castle stands as a tribute to friendship. In the early 1900's, Walter Scott (Death Valley Scotty) convinced Albert Johnson to grubstake his gold mining expeditions. The gold never materialized, but Johnson fell in love with Death Valley and took a liking to the colorful Scotty. Johnson and his wife, Bessie, built this two-million dollar home with luxurious appointments. However, Scotty always claimed that it was his and he was building it from the profits from his gold mine. Owned today by the National Park Service, daily interpretive tours are provided year round.
Scotty's Snack Bar includes cold sandwiches and drinks.
Rhyolite Ghost Town
Rhyolite, Nevada is a ghost town in Nye County, Nevada, United States. It is located in the Bullfrog Hills, about 3.8 miles west of the town of Beatty, near the eastern edge of Death Valley. Goldwell Open Air Museum, a free admission outdoor sculpture park, is located at the southern entrance to Rhyolite, off Highway 374.
The town came into existence as the result of a gold rush that began in 1904, and had its peak population from 1905 to 1910, when decreased gold production led to a decline that culminated in its abandonment by 1919.

sea-floor spreading
An important phenomenon arising from plate tectonics. Along mid-ocean ridges material emerges from the Earth's mantle to form new oceanic crust. This material, primarily basalt, spreads out to either side of the ridges at a rate of the order of 10–50 mm/year. Newly laid down basalt is able to "fossilize" the prevailing geomagnetism: the main evidence for sea-floor spreading comes from the symmetric pattern of alternately magnetized strips of basalt on either side of the ridge.

Project Title: Seismic Structure of Cascade Volcanoes
Mendenhall Fellow: Gregory Waite, (650)329-5237, firstname.lastname@example.com
Duty Station: Menlo Park, CA
Start Date: May 17, 2004
Education: Ph.D. (Geophysics), University of Utah, 2004
Research Advisors: David Hill, (650) 329-4795, firstname.lastname@example.com; Seth Moran, (360) 993-8934, firstname.lastname@example.com; Daniel Dzurisin, (360) 993-8909, email@example.com; Wayne R. Thatcher, (650) 329-4810, email@example.com; Steven E. Ingebritsen, (650) 329-4422,
Project Description: Seismic velocity tomography is an important tool for investigating processes and structures beneath volcanoes. Comparisons of P and S wave velocities are especially important for determining the compositions of low-velocity anomalies that may represent bodies of hot, partially-molten rock, cracks filled with aqueous fluid, or gas-filled pore spaces. More detail about the structure of fluid-rich bodies can be inferred from velocity anisotropy. For example, fluid-filled cracks in the crust are oriented by the regional stress field. Measurements of anisotropy can characterize the preferred orientation of fluid-filled cracks, which is important for understanding fluid transport in the crust.
The objective of this project is to investigate active volcanic systems using isotropic seismic velocity tomography and anisotropic shear-wave velocity modeling. The USGS and cooperating organizations have been monitoring earthquakes at Cascade volcanoes for more than 25 years. This rich dataset of earthquake records will be supplemented with recordings from a temporary array of three-component seismographs deployed around Mount St. Helens. The combined data set will be used to compute models of P and S wave velocities of the upper crust. Observations of crustal shear-wave splitting will be used to characterize the extent of anisotropic structures expected to be related to hydrothermal and magmatic systems. The structures revealed by the seismic velocity modeling will be incorporated into existing models for the magmatic and hydrothermal systems to elicit a more accurate picture of the physical state of the volcano.

Wolves Fire McCarthy After Rout Leaves Team in Relegation Zone
Wolverhampton Wanderers fired coach Mick McCarthy a day after the English Premier League club slipped into the relegation zone following a 5-1 home defeat to West Brom.
McCarthy has been subjected to criticism from Wolves supporters this season, including hundreds who protested following yesterday's collapse against West Brom, which scored four unanswered goals in the last 30 minutes.
"The board took the difficult decision to terminate Mick's contract after a run of form which has seen Wolves pick up only 14 points in the last 22 League games," a club statement posted on Wolves website said today.
McCarthy's assistant Terry Connor will be interim manager, the club said. Wolves are in 18th place, even on points with Blackburn and Queens Park Rangers.
"I would think it was one of the most disappointing afternoons of my career," McCarthy said after the West Brom defeat. "I apologize for the performance and I've never done that before. But the way we capitulated in the last half-hour is not associated with my teams."
The 53-year-old took over in July 2006, leading Wolves to the Championship title in the 2008-2009 season before keeping the team in the Premier League for the past two seasons. He was with Sunderland for three seasons after taking the Irish national team to the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan.

Redick trade shouldn't be the focus as Bucks near playoffs
The Milwaukee Bucks are in Philadelphia tonight to take on the 76ers and look to snap a three-game losing streak and get back to the .500 mark on the season. Excitement around the team seems to have diminished a bit since it looks like there will be no great move into the sixth or seventh seed, thus avoiding a first round matchup with the defending champion Miami Heat.
But there are only 16 games left in the regular season and some great ones on the schedule, and it's a time that momentum should be building toward the playoffs. There seems to be a lack of buzz, unless you want to talk about "The Trade" of course.
OK, so those are my quotations – but it could be called that should shooting guard J.J. Redick walk this offseason as an unrestricted free agent.
Because down in Orlando, young Tobias Harris is getting some serious run for a bad team and many feel those numbers would look that much better if were still in the green and white.
Through 15 games in Milwaukee, Redick is shooting 43 percent – his career average – but down from what he did through 50 games in Orlando. He's shooting 32.9 percent from beyond the arc, down from his career average of 39 percent. He's averaging 12.6 points per game in about 28 minutes off the bench, numbers that correspond with his totals when he was in a similar role with the Magic.
Then there's Harris, who averaged 11.6 minutes per game in just 28 appearances in Milwaukee who now sees 32.4 minutes a game in Orlando. Through 16 games, he's shooting 46.7 percent – his career average – but that's been the only thing "average" about his stint there so far.
Long thought to be averse to rebounding in Milwaukee, the 6-foot, 8-inch Harris is pulling down 7.6 rebounds per game since joining the Magic while blocking 1.3 shots per game. He is also averaging 14.9 points per game.
This was a risk Bucks general manager John Hammond chose to make because Redick gave the Bucks a greater opportunity to make the playoffs this season.
Hammond acknowledged at the time of the trade that there was some risk in dealing a 20-year-old who hadn't played much, but Harris was the victim of a severe logjam in the Bucks frontcourt.
Toss in the fact that Bucks owner Herb Kohl wants (needs?) to make the playoffs this year, there simply was no room or time for Harris.
It's no wonder why Orlando wanted the young man, though. Hammond said after Harris' torrid summer league showing teams inquired about him consistently. And, Harris was the best chip Hammond had at the deadline (aside from any of the regulars). The entire league is built around potential, and Harris had a ton of it.
You'd like to think Harris could be a 15-point, 7-rebound guy for the Bucks, and maybe he would have been – two, or three years from now. That wasn't going to work this year.
For some, that's entirely the point. They wanted the Bucks to "go young" and "tear it down" – perhaps not realizing that doing so in the NBA means at least a three or four-year commitment to winning 10-15 games.
No way was that going to work for Senator Kohl. That wouldn't help him land a new owner (or partner) and a new arena. It's about the playoffs, even as an eighth seed.
Harris could always score – it was the one thing everyone agreed on when projecting him out – but he three double-doubles and solid performances against the Heat, Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder that have people rubbing their hands raw already.
Do the Bucks have to pay a little more than market value to keep Redick here for another four years to truly justify the trade? Would pushing the Heat six or seven games do the trick, even if Redick walks? Or in three years if Harris averages 19 and 7 does none of it matter because the team "gave up" on him too soon?
Those are unanswerable questions for now, but unfortunately it's the hottest topic surrounding this team. Of course, it's nothing a solid stretch of play this week against the 76ers, Lakers and Thunder couldn't fix. And that's what the focus should be on – the run up to the playoffs.
The Bucks have been maddening at times, yet they have shown up and competed with the best teams in the East. They play hard, which can win you games you're not supposed to. "The Trade" may become a legitimate talking point this offseason, or down the road, but right now the focus should be on the team as its currently constructed, and what it can do going forward and in the postseason.

Tobias Harris line last night: 30 points/11 rebounds/3 steals/3 blocks/2 threes......Tobias said he thanks the Magic GM every day for trading for him and believing in him and giving him a chance......Bucks management, coaches, talent evaluation and development are so terrible it's not even funny anymore...

Bucks haven't really been very good ever since herb kohl took over & ran Hall of Famer Don Nelson out of town. If you are old enough you can remember this Buck fanchise was elite almost from the beginning until then. They were always competitive contenders even in the ERA of Bird, Dr.J, Magic & those great teams that was the NBA's Golden Age.

I haven't watched NBA basketball or cared about the Bucks in years now and this trade is a perfect example of why. The Bucks are simply obsessed with making the playoffs as an 8 seed and getting bounced in the first round. That's there ONLY goal for the past 20 years and for the next number of years as long as Herb Kohl is the owner. The Bucks were a consistent championship contender almost every year of their existence until Herbie bought the team. Now, they miss the playoffs more often than they make them (and it's not that difficult to make the playoffs in the NBA). Back in the day when Del Harris brought in a 50-year old Moses Malone and traded a first round draft pick for journeyman Danny Schayes who was on the verge of retirement up until the present day, the Bucks do not have a plan. Ask Herb or whoever the GM is in 2017 (if they're still in Milwaukee), what their goal is and it'll be "to make the playoffs". Not to win a championship, but "to make the playoffs". And that's a losing mindset.

The biggest problem is that Tobias Harris has been and would be the most talented small forward on this current Milwaukee Bucks roster. Moute's defense is nice, but his offense is abhorrent and destroys any and all spacing on the floor. Not to mention that JJ Redick will need to be paid (overpaid) in the offseason and Tobias is still under contract on a very fair deal for 2 more years. The coaching staff is just too boneheaded to be patient with a rookie and both Skiles/Boylan destroyed all of his confidence by continually pulling him after each and every mistake, but we'll happily trot Marquis Daniels out there for 30 minutes to get his "veteran savvy" production of 8 pts and 3 rebs. Bucks will rue the day they made this trade. Mark my words. Tobias will be an All Star in this league by the time he's 25. Which is still 5 years away. He would currently be a Junior at Tennessee if he stayed in school. Upside on this kid is sky high.

Progresso Cannellini BeansAugust 1, 2007
What it is: Canned ready-to-eat cannellini beans
Bonnie: When testing recipes for my cookbooks, I learned that if I invited people ahead of time for sampling, they considered it a dinner party and expected all that the name implied.
I just needed people to eat. Desperately.
In the early '90s, at the time I was writing Beans, neither Bryan nor Eric ate these nutritious little morsels. Since I needed to test and retest my recipes and didn't want to waste any food, I came up with a plan.
At about 5 pm I would pick up the phone and begin calling friends to see who was available that evening.
"Can you come for a bean tasting in about an hour?" I'd ask. "Yes, the kids too – that is if they eat beans."
I'd keep calling until I had enough people to help sample all the dishes I was testing.
Beans have a well-deserved reputation of being the musical fruit–that is, unless you eat them regularly. Seriously, the more often you eat beans, the less gas you'll have. Knowing that my arriving guest couldn't possibly be consuming as many beans as I was, I put little bottles of Beano (the anti-flatulence food enzyme) on the dining room table right beside the serving bowls full of various renditions of beans.
Those evenings always ended up with quite an eclectic mix of friends around the table—chatting, sampling and voicing their opinions on what they were eating.
Those who didn't love beans as I did preferred the dishes made with cannellini beans, the white-colored oval beans with a nutty flavor and smooth texture, also called white kidney beans or haricot blanc. As beans go, they're a good place to start.
One unusual and quick use for cannellini beans is Pizza Provençal. Yes, a white bean pizza. Just mash 1 ½ cups cannellini beans (rinsed and drained), 2 minced garlic cloves and a teaspoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread over a prebaked pizza crust (such as a Boboli, available in supermarkets), top with a thinly sliced tomato, crumbled goat cheese and fresh rosemary. Bake in a 450-degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese melts.
Or, for a slightly different Pizza Provençal-2, top the mashed beans on the pizza with some pesto, thinly sliced tomatoes and grated Parmesan cheese.
Another quick favorite is Escarole & Bean Soup. For that I cook some crumbled chorizo (about 1/2 pound) in a saucepan and add cleaned escarole leaves (about 1 pound), cooking until they wilt. Then I add a can of cannellini beans (half of which I mashed with a fork, as this will help thicken the soup), some chicken broth (about 4 cups), salt, pepper and some red pepper flakes. I simmer to meld the flavors, and serve topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. As with all soups, it's even better the next day.
Herbed Pasta and Beans (pictured below) is adapted from the folks at Progresso; it takes about 25 minutes to prepare and serves 4. Cook 2 cups rainbow rotini (spiral pasta) as directed on package, adding 1 can drained and rinsed cannellini beans during last minute of cooking time. Cook until rotini is tender; drain.
While the pasta is cooking, combine 2 seeded and chopped tomatoes, 2 tablespoons each fresh chopped chives, minced parley, extra virgin olive oil and capers, 1/4 teaspoon salt and some freshly ground black pepper in a large bowl. Add the drained rotini and beans; toss gently to combine. Add 1/2 cup shredded fresh Parmesan cheese; toss gently and serve, adding, if desired, additional chives or parsley.
Bryan: I have not thought about a white bean pizza in a long time, but they are fantastic! If you have not tried one, this is a MUST; both the pesto and white versions of the pie are truly delicious and incredibly simple to make. Add a small spinach or tossed greens salad with a light vinaigrette for a great summer meal. Cannellini beans have a smooth texture and subtle flavor that is different from many other types of bean. Progresso continues to put out quality canned products and this one is no different. Once you've tried the pizzas, move on to more complicated recipes and you'll likely discover that you enjoy beans far more than you thought. (Eric and I learned this lesson through three separate cookbook developments, Beans, Rice and Grains!)
Eric: There are a few non-fond memories of food that stay with me to date:
1. The first (2nd & 3rd) time I ate scallops
2. Eating sweetbreads at a young age and not knowing their origin
3. The year my mother wrote her damn Beans book
Let's get one thing straight. My mother is a great cook and has created and tested a ridiculous number of recipes, but the year of that bean book turned me into a lifetime member of the carnivores. She tried to trick me, and of course Bryan (who was probably one of the pickiest eaters I knew at the time) into eating the cannelinni beans, and she did quite a good job. Both of them rave about the pizza, but my vote stays with the escarole and bean soup. The spiciness of the chorizo combined with the texture of the white beans creates an amazing taste, and, as my mother suggests, eating it the next day (I suggest draining the broth and throwing it on some fresh pasta) is even better. Since the days of cookbook testing I have developed a tolerance for every food imaginable but still just can't get over those damn scallops.
THIS WEEK ONLY 2 lucky winners will be chosen at random to receive a case of twelve 19-ounce cans of Progresso Cannellini Beans. (Take a Chance)

Diane Says:
I've been using Progresso beans for years, particularly the cannelinis. I do admit, though, when I make my escarole and beans, I prefer Italian sausage to chorizo, and a few oil-cured olives, with a few shakes of red pepper flakes as well.
Anne Mahoney Says:
The Cannolini beans can used to have a recipe for simple pasta fagiole-now I can't find it -anyone have it?
Deborah Lofredo Says:
The soup recipe I am looking for was I think called Tuscan minestrone. It had a combination of white beans and black beans with carrots onions and celery and broth. I just need the amounts. Anyone?

Is there a shortage of cannellini beans? Harris-Teeter grocery stores in Charlotte (and also Bi-Lo) have been out of Progresso Cannellini beans for three weeks.
Can you suggest a source in the Charlotte area. But mostly, why would H-T stores not stock them? Store personnel say they simply don't know. We're frustrated Tuscans (bean eaters)!

General Mills Consumer Services Says:
Thank you for your interest in our Progresso Cannellini Beans. As you may have noticed we have had a bit of problem recently with supplying our grocery chains with these great beans. Let me first apologize for that and to let you know what has happened. Due to a recent crop shortage we have been unable to keep up with production demands and that has led to the recent availability problems you are experiencing. The good news is we now have enough beans to start production once again. You should start seeing Progresso Cannellini Beans on your store shelves in early January. Go ahead and tell your store manager to put there order in now. Thanks again for your interest. Mike Grant, Progresso Brands Product Specialist, General Mills, Inc.

Because of the tanking economy, we have been trying to plan a "Po Folks" dinner built around Tuscan Bean Stew. Now you're telling us that we can't plan on having Progresso (the ONLY GOOD cannellini beans) until January. By that time the economy might have improved so that no one will come … they'll expect tenderloin not knowing how delicious my wife's Tuscan Bean Stew can be. And everyone will be trying to lose their Christmas season pounds. This is a CRISIS. to were tryiing to pal

I thought it was just me not being able to find the cannellini beans so glad to hear it is a situation that will be corrected soon. MY minestoni soup will be missing the cannellini beans. ikes….
Marguerite Says:
I consider myself pretty good at looking and finding things on shelves. When I could not locate Progresso cannellini beans on the store shelves at ALL my local grocery stores, I was starting to think I was having a health issue. My curiosity of this "cannellini crisis" led me to this website. It all makes sense now. But I am VERY SAD! Even if I have the choice of another brand for this wonderful bean, I reluctantly purchase it. I plan to purchase a case of these beans, if possible, via the internet. Maybe this is a good thing – perhaps the cost by the case will be better than the grocery store price???
General Mills – Thank you for your superior cannellini bean and know that there are many faithful consumers who really do count on you to provide this product to us.
Linda Says:
I love cooking with Progresso Cannellini beans and have found a few tasty dishes with them. I especially like soup recipes and that is how I found this website. Look forward to your recipes.

Someone was looking for a Tuscan Bean Soup recipe that appeared on the back of the Progresso Cannellini Beans. Unfortunately, we her on the Progresso team could not find that in our recipe files. Possible, it was "misplaced" when General Mills acquired Progresso a few years ago. Can I suggest this recipe for Tuscan Bean Soup developed by chef Michael Chiarello as a possible substitute? It's very good.

Thank you, Bonnie. I will definitely try these!
Sandra Says:
Bought the cannellini beans for the second time. They are so undercooked that they actually have a crunch to them. Called the company and they said that they will send me certificates for replacement. Why? It is the second time, same result. Keep your certificate. Now I am going to throw away my $7.00 soup. Progresso, give it up.
Zeni P. Says:
Have loved Progresso Cannellini beans for a long time. Last night we made the same Tuscan Beans recipe we always do with Italian sausage, but it was ruined b/c the darned beans were so undercooked they were crunchy! I am not accustomed to tasting canned beans before I add them to a recipe, but I am going to start. Beans were bought recently in the Kansas City metro area. I will contact Progresso personally when I get time.

Keira Knightley's Sailor Dress: Yay or Nay? (PHOTO)
Hello sailor! Keira Knightley was in a nautical mood when she was spotted leaving London's Comedy Theatre in a Sailor Moon-inspired dress.
The stunning actress – who is currently starring in The Children's Hour – paired a white and navy blue sailor dress with a cropped gray blazer, navy blue tights and brown leather oxford shoes. While it's pretty hard to make Keira look bad, the sailor dress may have been a bit too childish for the respected actress.

New! The
Doula Doll
Midwives have existed since the
beginning of humanity. Why, then, is it so difficult to find a midwife in America?
What events occured between the mid 1800's until the present day which nearly made
midwifery extinct in America? And why are more families now looking into homebirth as a
refuge from hospital care?
Pain during childbirth. Can it be controlled naturally?
Is pain and extreme discomfort a natural accompaniment to birth? Or is pain a consequence of our well meaning attempts to remove all risks at birth?
Benign birthing experiences take place when the mother births herself, or receives help from close relatives or tribal members. People she has known all of her life. My research shows, that the presence of relative strangers can trigger an adrenaline rush, the flight or fight response. Partners, family members can also trigger this reaction if long held resentments have not
been ventilated and resolved. There are ways to alleviate, or bypass this unconscious reaction which I wish to present in the following paragraphs.
This adrenaline rush is a survival mechanism, designed to assist a birthing mother in protecting herself and her newborn from predators, by delaying birth until the mother has been able to flee or fight off a predator. Most other species will seek a private, dark and safe space in which to give birth, usually by themselves. If an intruder appears the fight or flight mechanism is triggered. The adrenaline released will inhibit the birthing from continuing until the mother has reached a place of safety
Picture then the following scenario: The birthing mother's water bag breaks, contractions set in full and powerful. The family is alerted, and the midwife or physician is contacted. Anxiety levels rise and the need to get the birthing mother to the hospital or the midwife to the home is paramount. Often
when the midwife arrives, or the mother arrives at the hospital, everything stops. Contractions cease or modify. The cervix ceases to open and often the situation is diagnosed as premature. The midwife sits down to wait, or in the case of a hospital delivery the mother is sent home. Commonly, on the
way back home from the hospital or when the mother reaches home, contractions start coming in again full and strong. Quite often birth takes place in the car on the way back to the hospital.
If the mother waits at the hospital or the midwife stays with the
birthing mother, birthing can be delayed over hours or even days, no matter how kind and supportive the birth attendants or physicians are.
After a prolonged period during which the neonate is trying to be born, the mother is unconsciously trying to prevent birth and usually experiences severe pain and anxiety. (For a description of the physiology involved see excerpt below from Childbirth Without Fear by Grantly Dick-Read, M.D.)
Tension will also mount in the supervising staff and as the fetus is affected by its need to be born, countered by the instinctual and unconscious need of the mother to delay birth until the environment is judged safe, infant stress factors will rise and intervention is then judged to be essential.
Obviously flight as a way to release these toxins is not possible. What I suggest to midwives and attending physicians is that a birthing mother be encouraged to discharge feelings by beating on a large pillow or mattress. This enables the toxins in her system to be released. If times if a mother has difficulty in accessing such feelings, it has been found useful to encourage the mother to start making a deep throated sound, akin to the bellowing or roaring of a wild animal. The best position for this is on ones hands and knees, either on the bed or floor, with a large cushion strategically placed for when the rage is triggered, and the mother can beat the cushion with great enthusiasm.
Of course the triggering of feelings, such as rage and fear, are not usually encouraged in hospitals or other traditional birthing environments. This can be alarming to other mothers in the vicinity or relatives. Our cultures try to bypass such feelings with the use of pharmaceuticals, or by persuading mothers to suffer such feelings privately.
As an alternative in the future, such extreme measures may be able to be forestalled. Having a mother birth herself, only accompanied by attendants who are familiar and unconsciously non-threatening to her, the flight or fight reaction may be avoided altogether. A video camera can be installed in the
birthing room, and a monitor in an adjoining room. Birthing attendants can then monitor the birth and if intervention is required are able to respond immediately. The parents-to-be can be taught the simple procedures involved in a normal birth during the prenatal period.
Wireless head sets could be provided if the birthing companion needs assurances or coaching through the birth. In this manner competent medical assistance is immediately available if required and the most important two involved, the neonate and the mother, are safe and comfortable.
On many occasions such a method will not be possible as accompanying partners, and/or relatives may have previously communicated to the birthing mother high levels of anxiety and stress. The West does not have, historically, an attitude towards birth that is calm, relaxed and at ease. Many parents have recently undertaken the various approaches to reducing fear and pain that come under the label of Natural Childbirth. While these approaches have been invaluable in educating parents-to-be concerning birth, and have significantly reduced anxiety and pain for many birthing mothers, some mothers have still been disappointed at the levels of pain, and stress that they
experienced. Many feel that because they were unable to have the kind of birth that they anticipated, that they have been deprived of a more benign and even enjoyable experience. Some even feel that they have been left wanting, and that this is somehow their fault.
The central core of most systems of Natural Childbirth such as The Bradley Method, Lamaze etc., is to train the mother-to-be to use various relaxation methods such as Edmund Jacobsons. Unfortunately for many mothers who have attended such classes and have become proficient in relaxation, it becomes apparent that when the birthing environment has been deemed
unsafe, they still become overwhelmed by the fight or flight reaction. At this point any conscious learning becomes overwhelmed by the primal reaction to a perceived threat to survival.
Certainly the safest and most effective way to reduce pain at this point during birth is to ventilate this unconscious mechanism. This can be done by stimulating the mother to express her feelings about the pain and anxiety that she is experiencing and encouraging her to physically discharge those
chemicals that are coursing through her system. Many mothers wish to experience an unmedicated birth in order to be alert and fully cooperative during the birthing procedure.
Excerpt: There is no physiological function in the body that gives rise to pain in the normal course of health. In no other animal species is the process of birth apparently associated with any suffering, pain or agony, except where pathology exists or in an unnatural state, such as captivity.
There are certain primitive cultures in which childbirth is looked forward to with joy and anticipation as something wonderful! Here one finds little evidence of suffering, pain or agony. Again, there is no other physiological process in our body that is painful under normal conditions except when
complicated by pathology, including fear and tension.
Any stress to the mother stimulates the adrenal glands to pour out catecholemines. As a result, muscle sphincters tighten down making uterine contractions less effective and sending blood away from the uterus to the arms and legs because stress and tension prepare the body for fight or flight. All of this prevents an adequate supply of oxygen to the big contracting
muscle-the uterus.
There are three muscle layers composing the uterus, the outer muscles contract to push the baby down, through and ultimately out of the uterus. The middle muscles contract to squeeze the blood out of the walls of the uterus and then relax to allow the blood vessels to fill up again with a fresh supply of
But when the inner circular muscles contract they close the outlet, maintaining the uterus in its unemptied shape. Thus, these inner circular muscles must be loose and relaxed when the long muscles contract to open the womb and push the baby out.
If a woman is frightened during labor this inner muscle layer contracts, then the muscles of the uterus and the muscles that hold it closed are working against each other.
Whenever there are two big groups of muscles working against each other they soon begin to hurt and in a short time the pain becomes very severe. We speak of this as the fear-tension-pain-syndrome of childbirth for a woman
who is afraid and unconsciously resisting the birth of her baby by tightening the circular uterine fibers which prevents the progress of the birth and increases muscle tension within the walls of the uterus.
This causes nearly all of the pains and distresses in otherwise normal labor. Which describes the labor of about ninety five women out of a hundred. excerpt from Childbirth Without Fear by Grantly Dick-Read, M.D
I have received many anecdotal reports from various countries that appear to show that in cultures such as the Bedouin or Pigmy, the birthing process is measured in minutes rather than hours. Here, extreme pain and distress are rarities, and the causes of such pain would be deemed unnatural. Such reports
seem to indicate that these observations have some validity, but further research is needed. There may be many other factors involved that are not obvious at first reporting. The author welcomes criticisms, suggestions and interest in partaking in
controlled trials. Funds are being sought for this purpose.

6. They have poor project management.
At the end of the day, it still boils down to a company's ability to manage projects. Project managers must manage scope, mitigate risks, keep everyone on schedule and provide the proper communications to people at all levels. Requirements gathering is critical and analysis paralysis must be avoided. If your organization struggles delivering normal projects, your chances of success with SOA will be twice as challenging.
Recommendation: Put your best project management resource(s) on this project. Or go out and get a rock star or two to help lead this initiative. Whoever you chose should have a track record for delivering huge, transformational initiatives. To make matters even more challenging, this person needs to be technical enough to understand SOA from a conceptual level.
7. They think of SOA as a project instead of an architecture.
Many companies are naive and think that implementing SOA is just another project. SOA is a software architecture and only achieves desired benefits when a company adheres to the core principals of service-orientation and ensures that deliverables are consistent with the architectural vision and road map. SOA requires specialization. A business service may be built through the efforts of an SOA architect, a developer, a data architect, a network architect, and a security specialist. Gone are the days where one person wears all the hats. There is also specialization within the layers of the stack. You have user interface designers, business process models, data services experts, business rules specialists, ESB experts, etc. All of these specialists may be working on the same services concurrently which requires high levels of collaboration.
Recommendation: The standard IT team structure is not effective for SOA. Think outside the box. I prefer a matrix organization and a collaborative war room environment. Tear down the cubes and set up an open space to allow for these specialists to work closely together. It also helps to have the business and testers in the room also. Put up white boards everywhere. Eliminate as many schedule meetings as possible and choose more collaborative techniques instead.
8. They underestimate the complexity of SOA.
You don't know what you don't know. Conceptually, SOA is simply the next evolution of what IT has been building over the years. It is not a hard concept to understand, but it is hard to implement correctly. The beauty of SOA and BPM is the simplicity it brings to the end users by integrating various back end systems so they look like one composite application to the user. The downside to SOA is that this greatly increases the complexity of building and managing software. Building SOA is a software engineering exercise. This is not drag-n-drop development effort and many developers will struggle to make the transition. SOA requires adherence to standards and best practices (governance) and needs talented individuals who understand complex concepts to be able to deliver.
There is so much to do to implement SOA that often security is an afterthought. It is critical that security requirements are gathered early so that the underlying architecture supports security from its inception. Otherwise, it is highly likely that major changes in architecture will need to occur if security is addressed later on.
Recommendation: No matter how conservative you are, expect to run into various technical road blocks along the way. Build in time as you will run into various integration issues, some caused by your code and some caused by the tools themselves. The vendor products are all far from being mature and there will be issues. Set realistic expectations and don't try to take on too much too soon. Start small, deliver value often, and build on it. Build security in from the inception; don't let it be an afterthought.
9. They fail to implement and adhere to SOA governance.
Governance is a dirty word to many people. Anything that sounds remotely close to government can't be good, right? Wrong! Call it SOA management and maybe people won't shiver as much.
Regardless, to achieve the benefits of SOA (reuse, flexibility, agility), the team must adhere to the architectural guidelines that the company adopts. This is what is called design-time governance. Without design-time governance you will likely wind up with JABOWS (just a bunch of Web services). If that occurs, you can throw the ROI out the window because you wind up building everything from scratch each time. When done right, SOA becomes more cost effective over time. Eventually the development effort will shift from building services to consuming services. Jason Bloomberg of Zapthink calls this the tipping point, when the SOA starts reaping the benefits of agility and flexibility.
Then there is run-time governance. This is where you proactively manage the health of your production SOA environment. Run-time governance allows you to see what services are being consumed, enforce policies and SLAs, troubleshoot, analyze performance and manage all assets. Don't think that once you deploy that you are done. Managing a distributed environment is not a task to be taken lightly.
Recommendation: Treat governance as a fully funded initiative that runs alongside of your SOA implementation. There should be a dedicated team (which usually lives within Enterprise Architecture) with its own road map and long term vision. Don't try to implement governance overnight. This is a journey; it will take several years to reach a high level of maturity. As your governance matures, so does your SOA. Invest in a registry, repository and service management tools. You also need new testing tools to test governance.
10. They let the vendors drive the architecture.
Ron Schmelzer at Zapthink coined the term Vendor-Driven Architecture (VDA). Relying too much on vendors can be a disaster. The vendors' goal is to sell you as much stuff as possible. Your goal is to implement SOA successfully and to provide your company with maximum benefits at minimal cost. Do you see the conflict of interest?
Also, the vendors promise flawless integration if you purchase all of your tools within their stack. The reality is, they have purchased so many products from other companies that their stacks do not deliver any better integration than if you bought the tools from a variety of vendors.
Recommendation: Figure out what you need before you talk to the vendors. Perform a very thorough vendor evaluation process. When you narrow it down to a few vendors, have them come on site to perform a proof of concept for which you provide the requirements. Watch them execute on it before your very own eyes. This is where the vendors can no longer hide behind pretty PowerPoint slides; it can prevent you from making a colossal mistake. Do your homework. Read blogs from practitioners, talk to consulting firms who use the tools, talk to other companies that have implemented SOA and talk to vendor references. Do not take any short cuts; you will have to live with the decisions you make.
This story, "What's Killing SOA? " was originally published by CIO.

My first 120hz monitor, didn't realize what I'd been missing til now.
Pros: Matte screen/bezel finish, proximiy sensitive buttons, 120hz/ 3d,
Cons: The proximity sensitive buttons might act strangely when putting 3 of these together, potentially. For those of us that hate OEM..the "alienware" logo
Anyways, heres a few pictures, and details will follow.
The box/contents.
It came with a dvi-d cable (essential to output 120hz/3d signal, in case you didn not know), a gold-tipped hdmi cable (not pictured), a usb cable, power cable, and a 1/4'' audio cable. There are internal speakers, although I have no intention of using them so I cant vouch for their quality. The documentation it comes with is pretty vague, and the "driver" cd isnt really a driver cd but rather a digital version of pretty much everything in the box. Dell support on their website has a much better guide of what each menu does.
As you can see here, the mount is a sliding mount and it easily slides up or down to these minimum or maximum heights. I tend to keep my monitors on the lower-end so it works just fine for me.
The mounting post itself has a nice cable management feature big enough to slide that large dvi-d cable and power cable through it and out the back side of your desk. You should be able to see from these pics, sorry, didn't want to dismount everything again but you get the gist.
The fit and finish of everything is top notch and it definitely met my expectations. The proximity sensing buttons are pretty cool. You can tell from the distance my finger is, thats when the first menu button starts to light up.
The menus are pretty easy to navigate and are self explanitory. I had to get used to the picture quality at first because the "quality" of the brightness was different from my old leg l.e.d. Not lower quality, just less "saturated" than I had that one configured. Took all of about 15 minutes to find something I liked and it was all good. You can notice the quality of 120hz right away on the desktop moving windows around and such, but enough of that, I bought this for gaming.
Let me say, its instantly noticeable. I was totally shortchanging my lightning xtremes on that little 60-hertzer. No tearing whatsoever. I even have vsync enabled and there is not one ounce of input lag to be felt. That way, when my screen is transition b/w BF3 rounds, it doesn't shoot up to 200fps and heat my cards up unnecessarily, which is a plus.
One little quirk I noticed, and maybe this could just be the nature of the way dvi-d transmits, is that when booting up the computer, the monitor turns on relatively quickly and shows the POST screen promptly, but the starting windows screen for some reason no longer displays for that 2 or 3 seconds, instead it transitions from post screen, straight to desktop. Again, not a big deal, could just be a quirk of dvi-d.
When you shut the computer off the power button mildly pulses red until you turn the computer on again.
All in all, worth every penny. I opted not to get the 3d vision attachments at the current time, but will definitely in the future. I got a 50 dollar discount from dell so couldn't pass it up, compared to what you will pay for many other monitors of this caliber.
Some of the negatives: some OEM haters (myself included) might not like the alienware logo on the front of the monitor, but I dont really notice anymore. I also wish the button led's could've been blue to match my theme, but hey, what can you do?
If any of you have any more questions or pic requests etc...just shoot me a PM.

I work with Logic since a long time but I am now little by little moving to StudioOne
Logic Pro 8 on an older dual-G5 Mac. Works, so I won't upgrade (plus I can't afford it!)
Samplitude Pro-X for midi work, and Adobe Audition CS 6 for tracking, editing, mixing and mastering. I think it's pretty rare to see someone who works in Adobe Audition these days. But I like it anyway. btw I wanna try to work on a reel to reel multitrack machine. This is probably very interesting and much harder than digital recording.
I quite like Audition too. Mainly using the new Sound Forge 11 now though.
Logic Pro 9, soon to be Logic Pro X once they get all the bugs out.
I've worked on Cubase for years, but now I'm moving on Samplitude Pro X Suite
Logic Pro 9 – took me a while to learn but does everything I need it to. Only problem I have is that Pod Farm 2 crashes it every half an hour – though that may be a problem with Pod Farm and not Logic. I'm thinking about moving to Logic X but I'm afraid it will slow down my workflow too much while I learn the ins and outs. Any other guys move from Logic 9 to Logic X recently? Any problems adjusting?

Been a Cubase user for 19 years! Started on Cubase 3.0 on Atari 1024 STE and now waiting to go onto Cubase 7.0. I also use Wavelab and Halion 4 plus loads of VSTi's on my I7 32GB PC.
Wauuuv, we are same !!! But I started to music with Amiga-Pro Tracker and Korg M1's sequencer before Atari ST's on the market. My first sequencer program is not cubase in Atari 1040 ST-E. Steinberg's first seq. software is Steinberg 24. That was only 24 track limited software.

Lost in the arguing over whether women should begin mammograms at age 40 or 50 or somewhere in between is the issue they'll all eventually face: when to stop.
Mammograms do the most good later in life, a U.S. task force declared Monday in recommending that women get one every other year starting at age 50. It said 40-somethings should make their own choice after weighing the pros and cons.
New mammogram advice from the American Cancer Society says most women should start annual screenings at age 45 instead of 40, a change that moves the group closer to guidelines from an influential advisory task force.
Women who undergo mammography screening reduce their risk of dying from breast cancer by 40 per cent, an international study published in the United States showed.
A new, international panel of experts has studied the most recent evidence on mammograms to screen for breast cancer and says they do the most good for women in their 50s and 60s.
Women should get a mammogram every two years starting at age 50 -- and while routine screening brings little benefit in the 40s, beginning it that early should be a personal choice, a government task force said Monday.
More women are learning their breasts are so dense that it's more difficult for mammograms to spot cancer. But new research suggests automatically giving them an extra test isn't necessarily the solution.
3-D mammograms may be better at finding cancer than regular scans, a large study suggests, although whether that means saving more lives isn't known.
Annual mammograms don't appear to reduce breast cancer death rates in middle-aged women compared to simple regular physical exams, concludes a huge new Canadian study that brings into questions whether such screenings are helpful.
A new breast cancer screening policy for British Columbia urges women aged 40 to 74 to have annual mammograms if their mothers, sisters or daughters have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
A Toronto-area widow was shocked to receive a letter from Trillium Health Services this week informing her late husband that there may have been a problem with the interpretation of his CT scan. Grace lost her husband to stomach cancer in February, after he was deemed cancer-free.

Simulated visual impairment leads to cognitive slowing in older adults
Wood, Joanne M., Chaparro, Alex, Anstey, Kaarin J., Lacherez, Philippe F., Chidgey, Aaron, Eisemann, Jared E., Gaynor, Alison, & La, Peter (2010) Simulated visual impairment leads to cognitive slowing in older adults. Optometry and Vision Science, 87(12), pp. 1037-1043.
Accepted Version
(PDF 148kB)
PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of different levels of simulated visual impairment on the cognitive test performance of older adults and to compare this with previous findings in younger adults. METHODS.: Cognitive performance was assessed in 30 visually normal, community-dwelling older adults (mean = 70.2 ± 3.9 years). Four standard cognitive tests were used including the Digit Symbol Substitution Test, Trail Making Tests A and B, and the Stroop Color Word Test under three visual conditions: normal baseline vision and two levels of cataract simulating filters (Vistech), which were administered in a random order. Distance high-contrast visual acuity and Pelli-Robson letter contrast sensitivity were also assessed for all three visual conditions. RESULTS.: Simulated cataract significantly impaired performance across all cognitive test performance measures. In addition, the impact of simulated cataract was significantly greater in this older cohort than in a younger cohort previously investigated. Individual differences in contrast sensitivity better predicted cognitive test performance than did visual acuity. CONCLUSIONS.: Visual impairment can lead to slowing of cognitive performance in older adults; these effects are greater than those observed in younger participants. This has important implications for neuropsychological testing of older populations who have a high prevalence of cataract.

· Officials for tonight's game are Tom O'Neill, Pat Driscoll and Randy McCall. There are no changes to the starting lineup – Sam Young, Tyrell Biggs, DeJuan Blair, Jermaine Dixon and Levance Fields for Pitt; Dwayne Anderson, Shane Clark, Dante Cunningham, Scottie Reynolds and Reggie Redding for Villanova.
· When No. 1 Pitt tips off with No. 3 seed Villanova later tonight at TD Banknorth Garden, it will mark only the third time in the past 17 years that two teams from the same conference met each in the regional finals.
It is the first time two Big East teams met for a berth to the Final Four since Providence beat Georgetown in 1987.
