Just a line to wish you the best of luck in the matric, and to express the hope that you will do really well.
Now when Kitty was reading for her matric, she never went out anywhere, even to a concert or a lecture.

Looks like CBSSports.com has named Utah's Jordan Loveridge its National Player of the Week after the sophomore from West Jordan led Utah to wins over Idaho State and BYU last week. Loveridge finished with 21 points, six rebounds and five steals while playing all but two minutes of the 81-64 win over BYU. He had 27 points and seven rebounds against ISU.
Loveridge is also the Pac-12 Player of the Week.
He deserved the honors, mostly because his scoring flurry at the start of the game got the crowd into it early, and pumped confidence into his teammates. The Cougars got hit in the mouth early, looked like they didn't know what hit them, and never really recovered. As Kyle Collinsworth said after the game, props to Loveridge for outplaying everyone else on the court in the early going.<

In one of the huts was discovered the barrel of a carbine and percussion lock.
It was a percussion lock, and the cap exploded, without firing the powder in the barrel.
General Scott doubted if the percussion lock was as well suited to field use as the flint lock, but Davis knew better.
The trials were made from one and the same barrel, having a percussion lock on one side and a flint lock on the other.
It was also a percussion lock, and the cap exploded without firing the powder in the barrel.
First the match-lock, wheel-lock, flint-lock, percussion lock.
The old flint lock had been removed and a percussion lock substituted; but the hammer refused to stay cocked.
In the percussion lock, there are fifteen pieces; in the common flint lock, eight.

For the last five years, the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation has held a winter gala and Lights of Life campaign, raising a total of $504,660, including more than $150,000 from the record-setting 2009-2010 campaign. Those funds have helped the hospital add digital mammography equipment, a children's therapy garden and a healing garden to its offerings for the community.
The gala will continue, helping to fund priority projects for the hospital each year. In addition, Jackie Thornton, Foundation director at Memorial Hospital, says that as she and the Foundation board look forward to the next five years they want to encourage people to donate to the Foundation in other ways. "The Foundation is about more than just giving great parties," she says. "It's about establishing an endowment legacy that can live on in Hopkins County so quality health care can continue for generations to come."
She encourages people in the community to consider contributing to the Foundation, just as you may contribute to your church. "Building a strong long-term endowment will help secure advanced health care for future generations. Donations to the Foundation provide a meaningful, lasting way to honor special persons or pay tribute to deceased friends or loved ones. All contributions—large and small—are greatly appreciated," she says.
Thornton hopes to see the endowment grow through bequests, trusts, annuities, annual cash donations and appreciated assets. Some gifts may even offer immediate tax benefits to the donor, as well as reduce estate taxes. "The generosity of the community through their support of the Lights of Life campaign and gala over the past five years allows us to launch into the next five years of establishing a strong longterm endowment," she adds.

Police Say Vilma Not Involved in Slayings
A New York Police Department spokesman told the Associated Press that New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma is not believed to be involved in the slaying of two men at a condominium in Woodbury, N.Y., owned by Vilma.
According to the AP, Vilma was not there when the two men were shot in the head sometime Thursday night. The condominium, located in a gated community, reportedly is up for sale and members of Vilma's family had access to it.
The two slain men may have been involved in an Internet scam in which people were sold what was purported to be cash smuggled from overseas, stained black to avoid detection, at a discount, only to be given paper, the AP reported. According to the AP, one man's body was found Friday in Queens and the other man's body was found in Brooklyn.
There have been no arrests in the case, according to the AP.
The New York Post reported that five men suspected of being involved in the incident, including one who claimed to be Vilma's cousin, had everything necessary to enter the gated Long Island complex, including security information and keys to the home. Police were searching for that man and also wanted to speak to Vilma about who might have been using the home, the newspaper reported.
Vilma formerly played for the New York Jets.

"I remember when I joined this company it was described as an Australian long product steel company and people still see it that way, but it is probably not the way to think of this business any more," Mr Plummer said yesterday.
"There will be considerable benefits in moving more into areas like iron ore and mining consumables where we can both get more acceptable returns and there is a much better growth profile."
OneSteel's first-half profit was propped up by its mining division, which made $276 million in earnings before tax. The Australian manufacturing division made a loss before tax of $71 million. Fellow steelmaker BlueScope lost $55 million for the half year.
OneSteel's Australian manufacturing, recycling and distribution businesses were all hit by the strong Australian dollar, poor market conditions and higher raw material costs, particularly in the December quarter. OneSteel is likely to look overseas to expand its business partly because of the increased risks of investing in local manufacturing.
Mr Plummer blames these increased risks on the cumulative effects of government policies such as the proposed carbon tax, mining tax, reduced breaks for research and development, and an increasingly costly regulatory regime.
"If [government policy] plays out the way it is speculated to, it would definitely increase the risks of investing in Australian manufacturing," he said
Sales volumes from the manufacturing and Australian distribution businesses were down around 15 per cent to 20 per cent in the December half. And the company's manufacturing division has not made a profit for the past three halves.
OneSteel announced an interim dividend of 6¢ a share, unfranked. The company will continue to review its franking credit position and hopes to be in a position to pay a franked dividend soon.
OneSteel's share price fell 14¢ yesterday to $2.84, having rallied 9 per cent last week.

"Within its 1806 embodiment of the cocktail incarnate—spirit, sweetner, bitters, water—there is traditionalism," Simonson writes.
Still more valuable perhaps is the intuitiveness of rare great minds, their traditionalism and their inherited qualities.
Another danger in an interpreting body is that of traditionalism.
Without English traditionalism we should hardly have had the English countryside.
The traditionalism of centuries was opposed to any such view.
traditionalism, wherever it is found, is the enemy, because traditionalism is only another name for indolence.
Her philosophic literature knows no mean between the traditionalism of Confucius and the nihilism of Chuang-tz.
His philosophy is a mixture of pantheistic ontology, rationalism, platonism and traditionalism.
The priesthood can gather its people together for war, but its traditionalism and all its methods unfit it for military control.
Chesterton stands for the later conservative reaction to all this, for ecclesiasticism, nationalism, and traditionalism.

PRONUNCIATION: PREH-keed KOH-loh TRANSLATION: "Prekid" means "interruption" (as in a sudden cut or pause in the music) SOURCE: Dick Oakes learned this dance from John Filcich, who taught it at the 1961 and 1962 Stockton Folk Dance Camp. He learned the dance from Barbara Welch Hill, who had learned it in Zagreb, Croatia, in July, 1960, and subsequently taught it in the Seattle area. Anatol Joukowsky taught it at the 1961 Santa Barbara Folk Dance Conference. BACKGROUND: Prekid Kolo is in the U šest Koraka ("in six steps") family of dances. Zagreb is the capital and the largest city of the Republic of Croatia. It is in the northwest of the country, along the Sava river, at the southern slopes of the Medvednica mountain. Its favorable geographic position, in the southwestern part of the Pannonian Basin, provides an excellent connection for traffic between Central Europe and the Adriatic Sea. The wider Zagreb area has been continuously inhabited since the prehistoric period, as witnessed by archaeological findings in the Veternica cave from the Paleolithic and excavation of the remains of the Roman Andautonia near the present village of Ščitarjevo.

With a factory store in Quebec and exclusive store locations elsewhere, Shan showcases its quality swimsuits and accessories
To promote brand awareness, swimwear maker Shan has built a factory, showroom and boutique on a prominent highway location at its home base in Laval, Que. The sleek grey-and-glass building, designed by acclaimed Montreal architect Renée Daoust, cements Chantal Lévesque's position as an award-winning international fashion manufacturer and retailer.
The Shan factory store is not your average roadside shopping experience. Flooded with natural light, the 2,700-square-foot boutique is meant to show off Shan's signature form-fitting bathing suits and matching cover-ups made from the finest printed silks and embellished with metal hardware imported from Italy.
Not meant for daily laps in the pool, the fashion-forward swimwear is designed to be noticed at poolside, or on the deck of a yacht. Ms. Lévesque received a designer of the year award at the Mode City Show in Paris in 2011. Equivalent to an industry Oscar, this was validation for her 25-year-old Canadian brand, which beat out 600 other swimwear and lingerie companies from around the world.
Ms. Lévesque credits her factory on the highway, which employs about 100, for enabling Shan to make a splash wherever it is sold. "When you build a factory with air conditioning, when you invest in your employees, you build your brand."
Sold through 500 retail locations worldwide, including luxury department stores such as Harrods, the Quebec firm has also started several stand-alone retail locations like this one on Montreal's Crescent Street, famous for its designer boutiques. Shan acknowledges it's not cheap to lease prestigious space. But managing the real estate is part of creating greater visibility for the Shan brand.
Interior of the Montreal store. Tops and bottoms sell separately, starting at about $225 a piece, all made according to the highest standards of haute couture. There is also a line for men. Accessories such as wide-brimmed hats, flowing tunics and ultra-suede totes easily push a Shan swimsuit purchase into four figures.
The stand-alone Shan store in Miami. More than 70 per cent of Shan's swimwear business is overseas. "More Shan product is now being sold in Russia than in the U.S.," Shan vice-president Jean-François Sigouin notes.
At 2,000 square feet, Shan's recent choice of a Yorkville location, at the base of a luxury condominium building in Toronto, is large by luxury retail standards."It is a lot of space for such a small item of clothing as a bathing suit," Mr. Sigouin says. "But we felt we had to be here to make ourselves better known as a luxury brand. For us, it is a destination store, a jewel in the crown."

So successful in fact that she raised enough money to strike out on her own.
There was I.F. Stone who, forced to strike out on his own, proved the grandeur of the first amendment.
Eventually McFarland sought to strike out on his own, and when he did, he took with him a lot of ideas from his years at Pearl.
After he died, because there was nothing, I had to strike out again.
Sometimes you have to strike out on your own to discover who you really are, and what you really want.
We calculated to dissolve the partnership and strike out for ourselves elsewhere.
She can scarce distinguish us until we strike out into the open.
To strike out directly for the north shore seemed as perilous as seeking the island.
Mr. Morris' motion to strike out "internal improvement" was lost.
She might lose her presence of mind completely and fail to strike out when she rose to the surface of the water.
Old English strican "pass over lightly, stroke, smooth, rub," also "go, proceed" (past tense strac, past participle stricen), from Proto-Germanic *strik- (cf. Old Norse strykva "to stroke," Old Frisian strika, Middle Dutch streken, Dutch strijken "to smooth, stroke, rub," Old High German strihhan, German streichen), from PIE root *str(e)ig- "to stroke, rub, press" (see strigil).
Related to streak and stroke, and perhaps influenced in sense development by cognate Old Norse striuka. Sense of "to deal a blow" developed by early 14c.; meaning "to collide" is from mid-14c.; that of "to hit with a missile" is from late 14c. Meaning "to cancel or expunge" (as with the stroke of a pen) is attested from late 14c. An older sense is preserved in strike for "go toward."
"concentrated cessation of work by a body of employees," 1810, from verb meaning "refuse to work to force an employer to meet demands" (1768), from strike (v.). Perhaps from notion of striking or "downing" one's tools, or from sailors' practice of striking (lowering) a ship's sails as a symbol of refusal to go to sea (1768), which preserves the verb's original sense of "make level, smooth."
Baseball sense is first recorded 1841, originally meaning any contact with the ball; modern sense developed by 1890s, apparently from foul strike, which counted against the batter, and as hit came to be used for "contact with the ball" this word was left for "swing and a miss" that counts against the batter. Bowling sense attested from 1859. Meaning "sudden military attack" is attested from 1942.
The course or bearing of a structural surface, such as an inclined bed or a fault plane, as it intersects a horizontal plane. See illustration at dip.
A concerted refusal by employees in a particular business or industry to work. Its goal is usually to force employers to meet demands respecting wages and other working conditions.

These glorious words, spoken by an angel, brought fear and great joy to those who heard them. The previous weeks must have been a blur of activity to them—they had seen their Messiah, the Lord Jesus, raise Lazarus from the dead, enter triumphantly into Jerusalem as their King, and then be betrayed, arrested, beaten, and hung on a cross to die between two criminals. They thought He was the One who would deliver them from their enemies and lead them into His kingdom. Now, early in the morning, they had gone to see His tomb.
The news that He was alive should not have surprised them. Many times He had foretold His crucifixion and resurrection. In fact, time after time, He told them that He would go to Jerusalem, die, and rise again. The importance of His resurrection is as great as that of His death. Jesus "was delivered [into death] for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification" (Romans 4:25). Through His death the penalty was paid for our sins. Through His resurrection we are given a living hope, the proof that His promises are true (1 Peter 1:3-5). Without a living Saviour, there is no hope. "If Christ be not raised, your faith is vain" (1 Corinthians 15:17). He lives! "I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death" (Revelation 1:18).
Because of His resurrection, Jesus lives as the hope and glory of the believer and the Judge of the unbeliever. Have you come in faith to Jesus who died for you, repenting of your sins, and claiming His gift to you of eternal life? "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23).
If you have not, come to Him right now. Coming to Jesus means believing that He alone is able and willing to be your personal Saviour and Lord: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31). "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved" (Romans 10:9).
If you have trusted the living Saviour, consider this: "He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them and rose again" (2 Corinthians 5:15). He has died for you and risen again to raise you from spiritual death to spiritual life. "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God" (Colossians 3:1-3).
Read His Word, the Bible. See what great things the living Lord has done for you.
Jesus said, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?" (John 11:25,26)
We can add your custom imprint to individual titles of Gospel Tracts, as well as our Calendar Cards. Please note that Tract Assortments, Poems, Mini Tracts, booklets, and some Believers Tracts cannot be imprinted.
How Much Does Tract Imprinting Cost? The imprinting charge is $4 per pack for tracts. There are no setup fees or minimum or maximum quantity limits, so when you order an imprinted item, feel free to order as few or as many copies as you want.
How Much Does Calendar Card Imprinting Cost? To order imprinted calendar cards, locate the special Personalized item in the Calendar Cards category. The imprinting charges are already built into this item; there are no other extra charges or fees.
How Long Will It Take to Get My Imprinted Items? Tract imprints of about 3,000 copies or less (per title) only require 2-3 business days for printing. Tract imprints of 3,000 or more copies (per title) usually require 2-3 weeks for printing. Imprinted calendar cards are usually shipped in about 1 week.
Where Does My Imprint Go? Every tract has a reserved space on the back (approximately 1" tall x 3" wide) for imprinting (see picture at right). The calendar card has a reserved space on the calendar side (beside the year). Your imprint will go in this space.
How Much Text Can My Imprint Include? There is room for up to 5 lines of text on Gospel Tracts (4 lines on calendar cards), with approximately 40 characters per line. Adding more text would require the text to be so small that we don't recommend it.
Can I Add A Logo or Image? Yes, you can upload your own custom logo or image. Remember that adding an image to your imprint reduces the amount of room available for text, and you should limit your text accordingly.
How Do I Order Imprinted Tracts? When ordering a tract, select the "Add Imprinting" option and fill in the fields that appear. A live preview will be generated so you can see what your imprint will look like. Please note that due to differences in devices and browsers, your finished tracts may not look exactly like the preview. All imprints are reviewed by our designers for content and style before printing.
Do I Have to Enter My Imprint Over and Over? Nope. If you are ordering multiple tracts with the same imprint, you can enter all of the details with the first tract, and then enter "same" on Line 1 for the others. Likewise, if you have ordered imprinted tracts in the past and want to use the same information, simply enter "same as before." All orders are carefully reviewed, and we will link everything together for you.

(The Brazilian real is down a world-beating 21 percent against the greenback since May).
Already money markets have begun to adjust the Australian dollar, which in recent months has enjoyed parity with the greenback.
The rest came in a currency then thought far more valuable than the greenback: Facebook stock.
When both pie and greenback remained untouched, Huldah cried, and Cyrus said, "Gosh darn it!"
Mrs. Fowler secured the adoption of the plank by the greenback convention.
I want to see the greenback equal with gold the world round.
The greenback and the People's parties have welcomed women as assistants.
When hard times came, men were tempted by the dreams of cheap money, and the greenback craze was abroad.
Dave waved a greenback when all passengers had been transferred.
In regard to the greenback party, in the first place, I am not a believer in miracles.

Like most people, therapist have their own set of addictions, and I must admit, I would probably classify myself as a "coffee addict." However, when addictions interfere with life including work, employment, and close relationships, there may be something more that needs to be addressed such as family history or patterns of addiction via therapy. I work with clients to help them establish different lifestyle choices, and how one lifestyle change can bring about a healthy "domino" effect in other aspects of their life.

It's all about the Money, and there is no loyalty: Carnival Conquest Cruise Review by west1215
Overall Member Rating
It's all about the Money, and there is no loyalty
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Galveston
The first thing you notice about Carnival is that they can care less about customer loyalty. We not only have sailed with them 6 times, but we have sold no less than 30 cabins for them over those six cruises. On this particular cruise we took our daughter, and paid for ½ of her shared cabin, and got no credit for it at all. All they give you for that customer loyalty is a Gold sign and sail card ..whoopee!!! Other cruise lines like Royal Caribbean give you vip boarding and many other amenities after just 5 cruises, and also give you extras when you bring friends with you.
Now for the cruise itself. Embarkation in Galveston was fine. Allow about an hour or so to get on the More ship. And....amazingly, our luggage was in our room by 5:00Pm. But...get ready for this. Up and down the hall there was a buzz from all passengers. Our luggage had been rifled through...not looking for guns or bombs..or security items. They were looking for Liquor, and confiscating any liquor brought on to the ship. In all the years we have cruised Carnival, nothing like this has ever happened. They went through my wifes and my luggage, and we felt violated. These are not homeland security people....these are the foreigners that work for Carnival looking at your luggage for their own gain. Find that liquor and get it out! Then they can charge you almost $8.00 for a Crown Drink or $ 6.00 for a beer. They will tell you that they sell drinks for the average going rate, but what they don't tell you is that they are selling duty/tax free liquor that cost about 30 percent of what you pay for a bottle at your favorite liquor store. So they are maximizing profit in that area.
Food- The food in the dining rooms was consistant for quality, and temperature. They had a wide variety on the menu, and the food would be considered well above average for a cruise ship. The food in the buffet was not so good, and in lots of cases was cold and tasteless. Breakfast found the eggs looking powdery, breakfast sausage was mixed with left over hot dog chili, and the bacon had a lb of grease on it. In the past, the hot dog/hamburger grill was open until late at night, but that has been changed to 6:00PM, so your options after 6 are buffet, dining, or room service, or late night pizza, and no Hamburgers or Hot dogs available. This might be important to you if you have kids.
Rules- Carnival has strict guidelines/dress codes for dress in the dining rooms for dinner. These guidelines on non formal nights include, dress shorts, or dress slacks, shirts with collars etc. These dress codes are not worth the paper they are written on because they don't enforce them. We had a guy sit down next to us on formal night in a Skull cap, tshirt, and jogging pants, and they served him, and he smelled like he had been working out. I mentioned something to the maitre'd and he told me "Yes, I am afraid that is the way it is going these days"!!!
Note- During our cruise we became aware from overhearing crew talk that there was a large number of people that were ill on the ship. This was evidenced by midweek, when the buffet went from a self serve to the station attendants serving you. Nothing was ever said to let the guest know we should take extra precautions with hand washing etc. ( maybe they should have bathed the guy in the skull cap, tshirt and jogging pants and killed some germs on him).
The shows were mostly reruns, but were colorful, and well done. The comedians were new and funny. There are no longer art auctions, but they did have a wine tasting. The quality of Jewelry and perfumes for sale has been lowered, and more tshirts and junk are out there to appeal to the trinket buyers.
Rooms- The ship is a little long in the tooth- they were replacing carpet at night on the ship. The rooms were clean, and the cabin stewards were hit or miss. On our deck lido, our steward was attentive, and extremely professional. On the 7th floor, our friends encounted a rude cabin steward that didn't want to do much of anything. Since you are automatically billed for tips and most people 99 percent go along with it, what justification do they have to work hard for you???? They get the tip anyway.
The ports were nice and the ship was on time. Getting on and off the ship was tedious as there were lines. It was nice to see the change of the Bahamas from the normal Cayman/Cozumel trip. I personally think they should replace Jamaica, and all its crime with a stop in Key West or the Bahamas.
If you are a new cruiser just starting out, realize that all of the other cruise lines offer the same amenities as Carnival, and they all do it better, and it might cost a few dollars more. You do get what you pay for...remember that. I have been a Carnival fan for many years, but since they have changed policies, and continue to show no loyalty to me, I don't feel any loyalty to them in the future. Less

Meet Willow's Bask, Arabian mare
Bay mare, 3 white feet, white stripe, half-Arabian, 15.1H, foaled April 1986.
My people call me Willy, Willy-mom, sweet mare, and sweetie. MY official name is Willow's Bask, I am registered as a Half-Arabian (though I am really 7/8 Arabian). They say my grandmare was a Connemara; my mom was named Willow's Faeesha, and my sire was a 16 hand Arabian stud, A.R. Petit Bask.
My grandsire, Bask+++, was a pretty famous Arabian I'm told. He was of Polish origin (as opposed to Egyptian Arabian) which makes me mostly Polish. My color is bay (mahogany brown with black legs, black mane and tail) and I have 3 white feet and a white stripe down the center of my face.
I measure 15.1 hands and am very pretty, not dainty but quite solid and substantial for an Arabian. I have good feet and good horse sense and even though I like to look carefully at things, I rarely get really scared or bothered. I trust my humans because they have always treated me well and let me take a good look when I need to; they think I am a little silly when I have to sometimes look real hard at rocks on the side of a trail.
I was born in 1986. At age three I went to live with Joanne Gelinas, who taught me western pleasure the same as her quarterhorses. At Gelinas Farm they also taught me how to pull a cart.
My human Connie's artwork of me and Em in Arabian native costume
When I was almost 6 I went to live with the Moses family and was well-loved by young Emmie (age 12), who took me to 4-H shows, Arabian horse shows, and Pony Club events. We must have done pretty well because Emmie kept putting all these blue ribbons and plaques and award stuff in the barn. I know I had a pretty good time and I loved Emmie… I liked running through woods going over jumps more than I liked practicing stuff in a ring (still do!) We also went on many trail rides for fun, those were my favorites!
Em shows off her pride in me and our times together
Starting around 1997 I didn't see much of Emmie anymore, but Emmie's mom Connie and her Hubby were still around. They must have wanted more horses like me, because in 2003 I had my first foal named Gilford, whose father was a Percheron. I thought Henry (Silent Commander) was quite dashing, a big black guy with long legs but not overly huge, and baby Gilford got his black bay coloring.
I'm watching baby Gilford sleep… I used to stand and not even graze while he was sleeping, I was too busy keeping watch. My humans called him pancake when he slept like this!
Gilford was light greyish-beige at birth, then turned black bay when he lost his foal coat.
I was a reluctant brand new mother, having no idea what I was supposed to do, but within a few hours I got the idea and turned into supermom! I wanted to protect tiny Gilford from my best friend Abby, and I would chase Abby away even though she was a big girl and had nearly 300 pounds on me!
In my Supermom phase, I kicked at Abby through the fence, then herded Gilford as far away from her as I could get him!
After a while I realized Abby was only curious and wouldn't hurt my baby so Gilford grew up with two moms and uncle Charlie Brown. Even so, when Glendale was first born two years later (when I was 19), I felt I had to protect HIM too, so I chased both Abby AND Gilford away from him for a while.
Glendale kept right up with me at 4 days old.
Eventually I got over that, Abby went away to a new home, and now I share the Moses people with my two young sons who are both taller than me already. In recent times life has been easy, we have 24-hour turnout, we are all barefoot, we go on trail rides and horse camping trips overnight, travelling to places like Acadia National Park Maine in a horse trailer. Both my boys are carrying riders and pulling a cart too now, but they still mind me when I put my foot down, which is how I like it because I'm the boss mare, being the smartest one around!

by Suvro Upadhyaya – Accurately estimating programming time is, in part, a process of defining limitations -- experience, domain knowledge, speed vs. quality. It is also about thinking of future needs and constant efforts to have code that is maintainable. And it is highly dependent upon the culture of the team/organization.
All these average out with the passage of time with fairly stable teams working on a product. Collective wisdom of the team prevails in defining the requirements of the software and the team becomes capable of answering how much time certain things will take in development.
I have seen scrum be very useful in estimating programming time. You divide the project into units and have developers estimate how long it will take to complete each unit. The developers with the lowest and highest estimates are asked to explain why they chose the numbers. This will help to uncover issues or assumptions. After discussion, the most commonly agreed upon estimate is chosen. This estimate gets fine tuned with feedback from actuals and usually after 6 months or so, the team is estimating closer to actuals.
Even so, there are right ways of doing things and wrong ways of doing things. Very aggressive estimates can force engineers to cut corners when what you really want them to do is take the time to write code that is self-documented and maintainable, which will be useful in the long run. If you think the quality of the software produced needs to be more robust or if you think the software will not be able to meet short term business needs, it is time to work on inherent assumptions the team is making, analyze the processes by which the team is producing software and rectify them. On the other hand, if you think the team is producing software that is taking care of all the planning of ill-defined future needs, it might be prudent to let the team do refactoring at a later stage when needs become more concrete. Understanding where the team stands and where you want the team to be is the core of successful intervention.

The following information was re-created from the web page the Library originally posted on October 7, 2003.
Assistant Professor / Reference Librarian
The Library Department mourns the sudden death of Francie Davis on March 14, 2003. Francie had just begun a six-month sabbatical. She and her husband, Jim Davis, were joyously chauffeuring their daughter Amanda by private plane on a book tour in celebration of Mandy's first novel, I Wonder When You'll Miss Me. The three perished in a plane crash in the mountains of western North Carolina.
Francie joined the Dowling Library Faculty in September 1995 as Electronic Resources Librarian and Library Webmaster. She served as Departmental Coordinator for four years between 1997–2001. During her eight years in the Library, Francie was instrumental in revolutionizing Dowling Community access to electronic resources by making them accessible on-line remotely. She had just completed spearheading the redesign of the Library Web Page.
Francie was energetically involved in many aspects of Dowling College, including serving on the Faculty Curriculum Committee, Faculty Senate, Middle States Self-Study Committee on Campuswide Planning, Middle States Steering Committee, Campus Operations Committee as well as being an endearing blood drop in our last campus blood drive.
Francie was extremely active in regional library professional organizations serving as chair of the LILRC (Long Island Library Resources Council) Annual Conference Committee, Co-President of ACRL/NY, and Co-Chair of ACRL/NY Symposium Committee.
Francie's vibrant personality, professional tenacity and irreverent humor will be missed by all. In her honor, the library has established the Francie Davis Memorial Scholarship.

What is in this article?:
- North America, Asia Drive Global Steel Production Increase
- China, U.S. Set the Pace
- +0.5% over June, +2.0% y-t-d
- EU, Germany, Italy, all down
- China, U.S. up over 2013
- Utilization rate falling
The world's steelmakers increased their output by 0.5% during July to a total of 132,325 metric tons, with just less than half of that volume coming from steelmakers in China. North American steelmakers produced a little over 10% of that volume.
Raw steel production rose slightly to 132,325 metric tons worldwide during July, an increase of just 0.5% over June's 131,653 metric tons. The latest month's result also shows a 2.7% improvement over the July 2012 figure, and the brings the seven-month total for global raw steel production to 921,641 metric tons, 2.0% over the January-July 2012 total.
The Brussels-based World Steel Association represents 64 countries, and its monthly report is details production and capacity utilization for "raw steel," the primary output of electric arc furnaces and basic oxygen furnaces, prior to metallurgical refining and casting into semi-finished products, such as slabs, blooms, or billets. The monthly report totals the global carbon and carbon alloy steel output; stainless steels and other specialty alloy steels are not included.
The July improvement was not a global effect: in the European Union, raw steel output fell 5.4% from June, and declined 6.0 from July 2012. The region's year-to-date steel production total is down 5.3% compared to the seven-month total for 2013.
The declines were more pronounced in some of the larger steel-producing countries in the EU region. German steel production fell 7.8% from June to July, to 3,397 metric tons; and is down 5.4% from July 2012.
Italian steel production rose just 0.5% from June, but is off the July 2012 pace by 8.5%.
In France, production declined 4.9% from June, to 1,131 metric tons; and also down 9.0% from July 2012. The year-to-date total is 9,335 metric tons, down 5.0% from the similar period of 2012.
The declines in output were registered in the C.I.S. region, where July production totaled 9,151 tons, 1.8% less than during June and 0.2% less than in July 2012. The region's year-to-date total now stands at 63,797 metric tons, 3.2% less than the seven-month total for one year ago.
The largest part of the C.I.S. region, Russia, produced 5,748 metric tons of steel during July, which was a 0.9% increase over the June output. Compared to July 2012, Russian steel production was down 2.4%, and the country's year-to-date total of 40,432 metric tons is 2.9% less than the seven-month total for 2012.

The difference is that gcc is supposed to be interchangeable. The same can't be said for dmd1 and dmd2. While the results are sometimes different with different binaries of gcc, the idea is that it shouldn't be. Basically, what happened was D said, "dmd isn't similar to dmd, but keeping the name dmd makes sense".

Turkmenistan education specialists study the international trends in education management and planning
Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, 17 September 2008
The Ministry of Education of Turkmenistan, UNICEF and UNESCO are conducting a week long workshop on education management and planning for about twenty specialists from different sectors in Turkmenistan this week. During the week the specialists will study the latest trends in education presented by experts from UNESCO International Institute for Education Planning and the Ministry of Human Resource Development and Knowledge Transfer of the United Arab Emirates.
The workshop aims at enhancing education specialists' capacity in strategic planning and management of education sector based on international experience, advantages, knowledge, expert evaluation, lessons learnt and evidence-based practice. Participants will also learn about quality assurance, projections simulation models, cost-analysis and budgeting in order to enable them to support and guide the education administration in all provinces in their efforts to build modern educational planning capacity.
The event is a follow up to a Turkmen delegation's study tour to the University of London Institute of Education and UNESCO International Institute for Education Planning organized by UNICEF, UNESCO, Ministry of Education of Turkmenistan and the British Embassy earlier this year.
Participants of the workshop represent different ministries and agencies of Turkmenistan, including the Ministry of Education, Economy and Development, Parliament, Institute of Economy and Strategic Planning, UNESCO National Commission and regional departments of education. Following the workshop, the participants will conduct the similar sessions for regional education specialists.

The Warrensburg Tigers took home the co-championship title after two games last week. Tuesday night, the boys defeated Center for the first time since 2010.
"We played as a team and put trust in each other's shots," said Jacob Terry.
Center came out hot in the first quarter, and the game looked like a tough one. Then, Dakota Jones helped turn things around with a six-point play. After getting fouled, he received two free throws, got a technical and received two more. While rebounding, he was fouled again to receive two more free throws.
"Defense in the second quarter was strong," Terry said. "They only scored four points and we scored 28 points."
Friday night, the Warrensburg Tigers basketball regular season landed with a thud with a 68-50 drubbing at the hands of the Sedalia Tigers. Sedalia held Warrensburg top shooter Dakota Jones to only 11 points.
"They took away Dakota, "said junior Cameron Horn. "When we got behind we settled for quick shots."
The Tigers came out hot in the third quarter and cut the deficit to 14 points, but Sedalia responded, led by a 21- point effort by Dante Scroggins. Despite the loss, the Warrensburg Tigers are conference co- champions for the first time since 2006, "It's a really big deal for us," said Horn.
The Tigers will begin district play Thursday against the winner of Pleasant Hill and Clinton.

Sydney (AFP) June 16, 2011
Flights across Australia began returning to normal Thursday after days of travel chaos from the Chile ash cloud, but some services to New Zealand remained grounded.
Qantas, Virgin and Jetstar were all planning to resume flying to Perth and Tasmania, routes that have been badly disrupted by the ash from the erupting Puyehue volcano, high in Chile's Andes.
Airservices Australia spokesman Matt Wardell said the ash was dissipating and flights should be fine for at least the next 48 hours.
"The long-term prognosis is still a little uncertain but at least for the next couple of days we are looking at being able to resume normal services," he told reporters.
"It may take us a day or so to get the entire air traffic back to normal operations, but for the time being things are looking pretty good."
But with the plume detected at lower levels than previously recorded in New Zealand, Qantas once again cancelled all flights to its southern neighbour, as well as to the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires.
"Qantas is urging all customers to reconsider any non-urgent travel and defer their travel plans wherever possible," the airline said.
Virgin, which had previously opted to continue most of its New Zealand services by flying around or under the ash, suspended flights into and out of Auckland and Hamilton.
Like Virgin, Air New Zealand had been bypassing the ash but it was forced to call off many domestic services Thursday, with the cities of Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill affected.
Two international flights from Christchurch to Australia were also cancelled, while Singapore Airlines said one of its planes bound for Christchurch on Thursday had to divert to Auckland to evade the ash.
Despite the diversion, Singapore Airlines said "all our flights to and from New Zealand and Australia are operating", but added that it was "closely monitoring the movement of ash clouds" in the two Pacific nations.
Air New Zealand said the cloud was now as low as 10,000 feet (3,000 metres) across parts of the South Island.
"Ash at these low levels gives us no choice but to cancel some services," chief pilot David Morgan said.
The widespread travel havoc followed the June 4 eruption of the Puyehue volcano, which had lain dormant for half a century.
Thick ash has been billowing out of the volcano and travelling across the southern hemisphere, recalling the widespread chaos in 2010 when an Icelandic volcano's eruption paralysed air traffic over Europe.

Volcano ash woes worsen in Australia, ease in Argentina
Buenos Aires (AFP) June 15, 2011
Airborne ash from a Chilean volcano dissipated enough Wednesday for flights to resume in Argentina's capital, but it spread farther across the globe worsening travel chaos in Australia. Planes were taking off and landing in Buenos Aires's two airports thanks to rain that took some of the engine-choking ash and glass particles out of the air. Services have been only intermittent over the past ... read more

Be careful what you wish for. Janet Yellen has spent a professional lifetime grooming herself for the job of chairman of the US Federal Reserve. Now that President
Republicans in Congress won't allow fiscal stimulus to be used to breathe life into a jobs market that's still sluggish five years after the global financial crisis. That pressures the Fed to continue to try to spur growth with extraordinary monetary stimulus, drawing fire from the same Republicans. As a result the arcane world of Fed policy is more hotly contested than at any time in its history. On top of all that, some hardliners have flirted with defaulting on the US government's debts – and a likely recession – to make a point about America's unsustainable long-term public finances.
Against this background, the new chairman has to shoulder the menacingly complex task of winding back the ultra-easy money policies the Fed has used since the 2008 financial crisis. These include the $US1 trillion a year QE3 bond buying program, which has swelled the Fed's balance sheet to $US3.75 trillion, and near zero short-term interest rates. Incumbent Fed chairman Ben Bernanke's attempts to signal a taper of QE3 – provided the economy is strong enough – have jerked financial markets hither and thither and forced up mortgage rates by a percentage point since May. That's embarrassed the Fed, sabotaged QE3's purpose and complicated the exit even more. She may have to deal with a recession – they come along every seven to 10 years – or even a financial crisis. Critics say Fed policies have sown the seeds of a crisis, and emptied the Fed's arsenal for the inevitable day when one does pop up. She has to ensure the Byzantine Dodd-Frank financial reform act is implemented without further disrupting financial markets. She has to deal with a perception she was the second choice to the brilliant but volatile
Before she does any of that, she has to weather the tough Senate confirmation process some Republicans promise.
"There's no doubt Janet will inherit a very difficult situation," says Justin Wolfers, an Australian economist at Washington's Brookings Institution.
Steve Oliner, a former Fed senior economist who worked with Yellen for a decade, says: "Personally, I wouldn't want to be Fed chair for the next four years because I think it's going to be a tremendously difficult job."
In short, you'd need to be impeccably qualified to even want to run this gauntlet, let alone to survive the trial-by-fire it promises.
Research and analysis
Fortunately for Yellen, who is 67, her credentials for the global economy's most powerful job are unimpeachable: A PhD from Yale; a stint at Harvard; a long career in central banking; appointment to the Fed's board in 1994; a spell as chairman of
"Some Federal Reserve bank presidents specialise more in anecdotes, she specialised in research and analysis," says Randall Kroszner, a former Fed governor who served three years with Yellen.
Since the Senate has already confirmed Yellen three times, it would be "untenable" for it now to reject the first woman and "the most qualified candidate ever", says Wolfers, a friend of Yellen.
Even so, a rough passage is likely. The Fed has been the largest buyer of US Treasuries since the financial crisis, accumulating a $US2.1 trillion portfolio (it also has $US1.3 trillion of mortgage bonds). The policy aims to lower interest rates paid by home buyers and business. Critics say this allows the government to run large deficits, by "monetising" the federal debt. It has kept short-term interest rates near zero for five years. The Fed's giant foot on interest rates – called "financial repression" by some – reduces returns to savers, who complain of being penalised to pay for others' sins. These policies pushed stocks to new highs before the shutdown in US services, but have failed to restore demand to normal levels in the economy. That fuels complaints the Fed is helping Wall Street more than Main Street.
These are the hallmarks of Bernanke's chairmanship. But Yellen has backed Bernanke to the hilt. If anything she is even more dovish then Bernanke.
All this is red meat to Republicans like Alabama's
Worse economy
Assuming Yellen is confirmed, she will take the baton from Bernanke in January. Even if the Congressional shenanigans are done with, the economy is unlikely to be doing much better than now.
There's still mass unemployment. Inflation remains puzzlingly weak and the financial system isn't as robust as it should be after five years of post-crisis healing.
Bernanke and Yellen are confident the Fed can withdraw from QE without undue incident. But legendary investor Warren Buffett – who is more experienced than either – said in March he didn't share their confidence. It's not hard to see why. The Fed faces Catch 22 on virtually every branch of its decision tree. First comes the taper – a modest reduction of about $US10 billion from the $US85 billion monthly rate of bond purchases. Bernanke gave every sign of wanting to do that before the September Fed meeting, only to retreat because the economy had not picked up as hoped. Some see Yellen's hand in that decision. Others see Fed governors reacting to a spike in mortgage rates, which shows one of the problems of withdrawal from giant stimulus. The Fed can argue it is just dialling back its stimulus, but to markets it feels like tightening in a weak economy.
Yet at some point the Fed will have to bite the bullet, because the rate of Treasury purchases – $US540 billion a year – is close to the total issuance required to fund the federal deficit expected in 2014. Fed supporters like Wolfers dismiss that as an issue, but it is more fuel for critics. And a taper is just a start. The longer QE3 goes on the longer it will take to withdraw, and the longer the markets will be at the whims of the Fed. The original timetable saw QE3 ending about mid-2014; that now looks unachievable.
"If it turns out the economy isn't picking up, and growth is still tepid next year, how long are they going to run the QE program and at what level?" Oliner says.
"They're conscious of the risks of having a portfolio that is so large relative to the markets they're operating in, they really could disrupt the functioning of those markets."
In two or three years, the Fed will have to raise its short-term funds rate from near zero. Some time before that, it will begin to allow maturing bonds to roll off its balance sheet, a process that will ever so slowly trim the bloated balance sheet back to size. The Fed has ruled out selling bonds – a bigger shock to markets – for now. Some think Yellen may put off raising rates, but people who've worked with her say she won't be soft on inflation when it emerges. No one can say how this will turn out. But Yellen is as well qualified as any candidate for the job.

'X Factor' Judge L.A. Reid Bans Producers After Boot Camp Clash, Reveals Source (EXCLUSIVE)
Reid — the music mogul responsible for signing and bringing Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne and Mariah Carey to fame — is "peeved" at the category of contestants that he has been assigned to mentor.
"L.A. is so mad at some of the producers," a source on the show revealed. "He refuses to even answer their calls; he's been so mad for weeks and weeks now."
At the end of Wednesday's episode, the singing competition moves from 120 contestants at Boot Camp to the next phase of its sophomore season — Judges' Homes — where Reid will be told he must work with the Overs, the source said.
"Last year Simon (Cowell) had the girls, L.A. had the guys, Paula had the groups and Nicole had the overs," the insider confirmed.
"L.A. had been telling everyone that he wanted to mentor a younger category in 2012."
"That was when the producers called to tell him his category," the source added.
"He did have a diva moment when he didn't get what he wanted!"
FOX has yet to reveal who gets assigned various categories, however Reid was photographed with Bieber on the roof of a building in Los Angeles during August. At the time, it was suggested the pair was with some of The X Factor over 25s group.
"Even Justin Bieber had to remind him about the talent in his group."
The Backstreet Boys spoke to Celebuzz recently and revealed who has impressed them on the 2012 version of The X Factor. Watch below.

Thanks for the suggestions Ed.Ā Your blog post is quite helpful in deciding on and implementing CF inverted indexes.
Our data definitely leans towards external CF - has high cardinality(1000s for one column, millions for another), multiple columns need to be indexed, needs sorted order.
Hope that amazon paper has some good tips on solving the transactional gotcha :-)
If you're just indexing on a single column value and the values have
low cardinality in, say, the 10's - I'd have a wide row for each
cardinal value that contained the set of keys for rows that contained
that value. ĀFor higher levels of cardinality or if you're indexing on
multiple columns, there are tradeoffs for secondary indexes versus CF
inverted indexes that are based on atomicity of updates, complexity of
queries, and whether you need to get results in sorted order.
Secondary indexes are usually the best starting point since they're
easy to set up and use, versus CF inverted indexes, where you'll need
to manage all that yourself. ĀSome of the client libraries make it
easier to build CF inverted indexes, Hector is going to soon have some
capabilities for JPA users leveraging the new composite column types
to do this. ĀI wrote up a blog post a while back talking about
indexing approaches at
http://www.anuff.com/2011/02/indexing-in-cassandra.html that you might
find useful, although it sounds like you're already familiar with the

Volume 13, Issue 2: Verbatim
Various Saints
[P]arents can be sure that their children will be saved and go to heaven. Their assurance is based on God�s faithfulness to perform the promises He has made to believing parents and their families. It also grows from their determination to do their part as they depend on His grace. These promises of God, then, are conditional—parents do have an important part to play in their fulfillment. Yet every fulfillment of a divine promise is itself a product of God�s grace.
I strongly suspect that more is done, in the age previous to language, to affect the character of children than in all the instruction and discipline of the minority afterwards; for, in this first age . . . there goes out in the whole manner of the parent—the look, the voice, the handling—an expression of feeling, and that feeling expressed streams directly into the soul.
Recovering our Presbyterian inheritance and inscribing the doctrine of covenant succession upon the heart of family and church must have a wonderfully solemnizing and galvanizing effect. It will set Christian parents seriously to work on the spiritual nurture of their children, equipping them and requiring them to live the life of covenant faith and duty to which their God and Savior called them at the headwaters of life, . . . lest the Lord on the Great Day should say to them: "You took your sons and daughters whom you bore to me and sacrificed them to idols."
Wherever thou goest thou wilt hear men crying out of bad children—whereas indeed the source must be sought a little higher, �tis bad parents—that make bad children—and we cannot blame so much their untowardness as our own negligence in their education. . . . The Devil hath a great spite at the Kingdom of Christ, and he knoweth no such compendious way to crush it in the egg as by the perversion of youth and supplanting family duties. Religion was first hatched in families, and there the Devil seeketh to crush it.
[There is] an intimate and divinely established connection between the faith of parents and the salvation of their children; [it] authorizes them to plead God�s promises and to expect with confidence that through his blessing on their faithful efforts, their children will grow up children of God.
Covenant Succession Affirmations and Denials
1. It is affirmed: In the covenant God promises himself and his salvation both to those who trust in him and to their children. That is, there is a real promise of saving grace for the children of believing (or a believing) parents in the covenant. The promise of covenant succession is, in biblical and church history, the principle means by which God enlarges the church and summons his elect to new life. It is denied: There is no promise of saving grace for the children (Reformed Baptist) or the promise of salvation is made solely to elect infants (Hoeksema and the Hyper-Calvinists).
Those who pride themselves on being orthodox are really the unorthodox. The Presbyterian Church has a glorious doctrine received through the medium of John Calvin and the Westminster Standards. Yet the church as a whole does not know it. The historic doctrine of the church concerning children in the covenant and the significance of infant baptism has been to a large extent secretly undermined.

On 2 March 1998 ten-year-old Natascha Kampusch was snatched off a street in Vienna by a stranger and bundled into a white van. Hours later she was lying on a cold cellar floor, rolled up in a blanket. When she emerged from captivity in 2006, having endured one of the longest abductions in recent history, her childhood had gone.
In 3,096 Days Natascha tells her amazing story for the first time: her difficult childhood, what exactly happened on that fateful morning when she was on her way to school, her long imprisonment in a five-square-metre dungeon, and the physical and mental abuse she suffered from her abductor, Wolfgang Priklopil – who committed suicide by throwing himself under a train on the day she managed to make her escape.
3,096 Days is ultimately a story about the triumph of the human spirit. It describes how, in a situation of almost unbearable hopeless, she learned how to manipulate her captor. And how, against inconceivable odds, she managed to escape with her spirit intact.

Harding's the status quo for Wild
By ROBERT TYCHKOWSKI, QMI Agency
A brief glimmer of hope gave way to reality Friday morning when a surprise appearance by Nik Backstrom at the Minnesota Wild's morning skate only reinforced that he isn't ready to go.
"Josh Harding," said head coach Mike Yeo, when asked who his starting goaltender will be when the Hawks and Wild resume their series after a two day break.
That Backstrom was riding an exercise bike in the hallway Friday morning and was on the ice for the first time since injuring himself during the pre-game warm-up on Tuesday gave faint hope to those who thought he might be healthy enough to play. But with three goalies on the ice, he spent most of his time gliding around the rink and seemed like he was labouring to get back to his feet when he did go down to make a save.
He refused to speak with reporters afterward.

As you see from the name all of us are students and we are sex buddies as well. It all started a year ago or so… I had a party in my place, you know these parties – lotsa beer, hot chicks in skimpy skirts and tiny tops ;) I was playing with my then new cam while everyone was dancing, kissing, etc. Suddenly I said: "Hey guys, what if you fuck and I film?" Probably they were all drunk and crazy but they agreed! That was the first orgy I filmed… And then I had another brilliant idea.
