Talk:PHP - Optimisation
From LXF Wiki
I'm reading this article and I have a similar project which is using php call php extension (call c code). This project has been done on window side. Now we are moving to linux side. I need create a make file to compile php extension to generate a .so and .a file. My question is, can I write this make file following the traditional c make file? I did it, but I can't find php5ts.lib (in window side) in linux side?
If anyone can give me some suggestion, I will really appreciate it.
Thank you very much in advance

Bill 14-21 is an egregious dereliction of duty on the part of the Harford County Council. That so many current Councilmen co-sponsored this bill is a sad statement on their concern for protecting the rights of the voters.
This Bill would make Harford County the ONLY Maryland County with no appeals board. It would make it prohibitive for the average citizen to appeal decisions of the unelected Hearing Examiner. And it would be an abdication by the Council of one of their fundamental responsibilities to their constituents.
Some members of the Council claim this Bill is necessary for them to speak freely with constituents on zoning issues. Not true. Two years ago, that issue was addressed in Bill 12-33. That amendment was approved and is a current part of the Harford County Charter; there is no reason for any Council member not to speak to any constituent.
Eliminating the Board of Appeals means taking away citizens' rights to have elected representatives enforce the rules they themselves enacted. It removes the ability of most of our citizens to have their viewpoint considered because of court costs. Do the current Council members really want to charge citizens to appeal land use decisions? How is it fair to the citizens of the county to force them to pay to disagree?
We still, at least in theory, have a government that is, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, "by the people, of the people, for the people." Not a government by courts and lawyers, nor by or for developers. Yet that is just what this bill would give us. Bill 14-21 is a mistake, and I urge every Council member who has sponsored it to withdraw your support and put it where it belongs – with the real people who elected you.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by lqmac1, Dec 31, 2012.
If we dump Romo and start Orton. I will not watch the Cowboys next season.
Missing the playoffs the last 4 of 5 years. So what's worse, 5 of 5? Big deal really. If you aren't in the playoffs, you are in the same boat as the bottom feeders, except not as good a draft pick.
Did you watch when Kitna was qbing? It would be like that but better.
Yes and I watched through Quincy Carter.
Well why wouldn't you watch orten?
Because it would be dumb. We have a QB that is light years ahead of him.
You said if we dump Romo you wouldn't watch. Seems to me you're more of a Romo fan than a Cowboys fan.
Not that simple. If it were, every team would be doing it. And let's not annoint guys like Dalton and Kaepernick before they actually do anything.
Oh, just ask the ( in no particular order ):
The last time ANY of those teams had a franchise QB was Steve Young with the 49ers.
14 years ago.
What he said..
and I'll venture that I was a Kapernick fan long before anyone in here ( check my posts about him in here ). He's still a project with a lot of potential, but still a project. Dalton is progressing very nicely but, ironically, has the same problems as Romo. Wilson, to me, looks like a fad QB.
And he sure as hell ain't going to win you one either.
Not saying he's elite at all. Ya'll are quick to just dump someone without thinking about the possible trouble that comes after. Groom a QB while Romo is still at the helm. If the Cowboys did what ya'll wanted and just dumped Romo everyone would go nuts and blame the front office for releasing Romo w/o having another option!
Over 3 hours and no reasonable answer yet.
if Romo is making the same mistakes, then its not all on him, it's also coaching.
Because he's not alone there. Here we were, week 17, and Romo is *STILL* telling guys were to line up. Romo is *STILL* telling WRs how they ran the wrong routes.
The official it isnt Romo's fault because excuse list
1. JG doesnt know how to call plays
2. Every WR runs the wrong routes
3. Oline sucks
4. Need a better FB
Trade for Kirk Cousins to grow with your young core?
How does getting rid of Romo gaurantee you anything other then going 5-11 next year? What stops the Cowboys from drafting a young QB to groom while Romo is still here? Now if your take is the we wont develop a QB with Romo around, then the problem is not Romo, its jerry and Garrett.
Romo is NOT the problem in Dallas, that is a fact. Even if Romo took us down for the score and make the playoffs, we lose the next week. Why? Because our team is a joke from the coach, to the line, to the defense. Its that simple. NO QB will ever take us anywhere in Dallas until we get a real Oline and real defense and a real coach. Sadly, that will take so long that Romo will be done by then. So there in lies the possible reason to trade him now. But good luck convincing Jerry of that. At least he is smart enough to realize that any real hope of winning a SB lies in Tony Romo taking us there.
The simple truth is that Romo's career, although never to be confused with the elite QB's of the NFL has been wasted on bad coaching, bad Oline play, poor defense, and a bad GM.
Until those other factors change, dont count on Romo, Orton, or some rookie 18th pick QB coming in here and doing anything. The ONLY reason this team sniffed the playoffs this year or any other year of late is because Romo has gotten us there. Despite the other sad facets of this team. Those are the facts.
Just look around at the playoffs teams. Can you name me one QB that has made it with less around him then Romo?
Is there a worse Oline, coach, running game, defense left in the playoffs? Romo has done more with less than anyone in the league you could argue.
Draft a tyler wilson or a Landry Jones, and let him sit behind orton for a year. There are a lot worse qbs out there than Kyle Orton.
Not that I want Romo gone this year but this is a good plan if you part ways.

Tunis (Jul. 30)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
A duel fought by a leading member of the Jewish community here and a leader of the Fascisti ended without fatalities.
The parties in the duel were M. Vitterie, editor of the local Italian daily, and M. Calo, a prominent Jewish citizen. The duel came about as a result of strong Fascisti anti-Semitic propaganda conducted by the paper.
The Italian Fascisti here continue their agitation against Italian Jews, not withstanding the fact that M. Salvatores, president of the Jewish community in Tunis, in interviews in Rome with the King and Mussolini, asked for measures to stop this agitation. The agitation, however, continued unabated and with no results from the duel and no reconciliation effected, the situation has become more acute.

Fellahs under their umm-ber-rellas
...ellas, ellas.
Looks like the rain finally hit London.
We really can't be disappointed though... The weather man has been calling nonstop rain for the past two days and this is the first we've seen of it! That and we're in friggin England for pete's sake... So it's kind of expected.
Jamie and I decided to shelter ourselves from the rain for a bit in this little café right across from Trafalgar Squar. Good ol' Rick Steve suggested we check out. He was right about their coffees. Check out the whip on that mocha... HELLO!!
Mmm! Btw I love the guidebook you got me Marie-Michelle. Don't know what we'd do without it.
Today has been a pretty exciting day. So far I've been lucky enough to be a mere gate away from the Queen (and more importantly... Those hunkalicious princes) during the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace this morning and enjoyed a refreshing stroll in St-James park on the way here, at Trafalgar Square. We're about to take a free overview tour of the National Gallery and then head back near Victoria for the most exciting part of the day... My first real MUSICAL!! Ahh!! I bought us tickets to Billy Elliot.
Well, I'm gonna slip on my sweater, jacket and scarf cuz its a chilly 13 degrees here. I heard you guys are having 30 degree weather!! Crazy.
Update you soon,

Thank you for all your support. This month's highlights are:
Staff Development: Two of our teachers went to Port Au Prince for the third session of a series of mathematic workshops using Cuisenaire Rods. They have already started to share the information with other teachers during our Friday staff development sessions. Staff development is given according to what the staff feel they need. Ezner, Chair of the Direction Committee, has recently given two sessions on the best way to give semester exams.
Visitors from Boston: Barbara Sampson and Chris Low from the Board of Friends of Matènwa came to do a site visit; Artist Saskia Van Vactor and writer, Kettly Mars, came and gave art classes to all our elementary students to augment their techniques for illustrating their Mother Tongue Books: Chris Hamilton and Helen Bakeman came to film to make promotional videos that we hope will bring us more needed funds and human resources. They followed Zaza Geffrard whose 5 children and she were all students or graduates of the school The school is open to accepting any parent who feels that he or she wants an elementary education.
Construction: Holland and his crew are finishing the walls of our new bookstore, bookmaking and seminar rooms.
For several years now we have talked about creating business with local funds in order to become more autonomous. We are now selling staple foods because we feel this is greatly needed in our community. We will use the profits to cover a few of our junior high teachers' salaries.
'Til next time!

The image of Jamaica is often waking up on a tropical beach, white sand and blue waters, the abundance of fresh fruit and fish washed down with coconut water. Though somewhat accurate, this vision is merely a fantasy most of the time. In Jamaica, Farewell Debra Ehrhardt recalls with fondness her childhood memories — growing up on this lush island — but mostly focuses on her intense yearning for her "dream to turn into reality" of emigrating to America, the land of sunshine, promise and gold-paved streets (also, a fantasy!)
She's not at all conflicted about this dream of leaving Jamaica, symbolized by reggae music and the philosophy, "Don't Worry, Be Happy," and eager from an early age to start anew and live the American dream. The audience is with her every step of the way, cheering Debra on, as she sings, dances and laughs her way into our hearts. Although the show is infused with humor throughout, her deep words and angst for a better life and escape from violence and hardship are passionately expressed. The times indeed "were a-changing": money troubles forced her parents to take Debra out of a private school education and transfer to a public school. Change of any kind is traumatic and can trigger even deeper yearnings of freedom and independence — the bright stars and stripes of the American flag adorning her room were so tempting. Debra became obsessed with the idea of being a "full fledged Yankee Doodle Dandy," and could recite the song verbatim.
Ehrhardt's stage presence is mesmerizing; she is a vision so lovely, like her homeland — pure beauty and allure. Her performance and compelling journey is powerful and riveting, captivating the audience from beginning to end. Producer Rita Wilson optioned Jamaica, Farewell, bringing the play to the Falcon stage, with Joel Zwick directing. Ms. Ehrhardt's wildest dreams have indeed become reality, and she is currently adapting the show for the big screen.
Jamaica, Farewell runs through April 17 on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 4 p.m. at the Falcon Theatre located at 4252 Riverside Dr. in Burbank. For ticket information, visit www.falcontheatre.com or call (818) 955-8101.

16 September 2011
* I'll start with the more general questions in no set order and try to move from there. There were a lot of responses to things that espoused an organization philosophy with regard to player development. One thing Pedro got on the table right away was a reference to the training program they instituted a few years ago and that at the end of the season, they bring in each guy to work with their people and equipment to determine a plan of action for the offseason in terms of skills and conditioning. He admitted that without the game situations, there's only so much that can be done, but the goal is to provide some kind of input for each to take on their own. Suffice to say, it's a more proactive approach than just waiting on a guy to spend an offseason going nuts in a weight room so that he can show up to spring training In the Best Shape of his Life.
The second general question regarded Ackley/Seager/Vasquez and the point that guys who were on a college diamond two years ago are in the big leagues right now. Pedro wasn't particularly elaborate in his response here, he just gave the standard credit to McNamara and said that if you draft good players, they'll move fast. Sort of a no-brainer response which acts as a subtle indictment of the previous regime. I would say that as the younger core of this team starts to coalesce a bit, they may be more willing to invest in a longer development cycle for guys with good make-up but raw skills at present. We've seen a little bit of this in June's returns as they were willing to take the time with guys like Marlette, Cohoes, Guarnaccia, White, Scammell, and Valenza (maybe even Marder) who had interesting physical talents, but otherwise weren't quite there yet.
The third general question was probably one that everyone would be most interested in hearing a reply to, what with the recent concern over aggressiveness, and that was "hey buddy, are you training these kids to do that?" The answer of course, was no, and to a lesser extent, yes. What he talked about was the notion of controlled aggressiveness and having guys on the look for their pitch and attacking said pitch. That isn't quite happening now. Big surprise, huh? Again, the refrain was that it needs to be individualized and guys need to understand who they are as hitters and what they can do and what they need to work on, and perhaps to lay off certain bendy things that look funny. That means that there are probably will continue to be some strikeout prone hitters in the system and they'll do what they can to temper that. It's not so easy as going out there and saying "hey you, swing less stupid." Coaching is rarely that simple.
The fourth general point may be me combining a couple of things (my notes, as ever, are barely comprehensible and written in code). It sort of ties into the second point, about drafting good questions, but the question was posed about what kind of adjustments guys need to make getting up to this level. Pedro pretty much said "the game is faster in the big leagues," which is a funny way of looking at it, but probably entirely accurate. There's less margin of error with guys making mistakes and the process has weeded out those that couldn't adapt. As Pedro said, adjustments need to be made on the fly and there isn't really a comfort zone as there might be elsewhere. But when the question came up of how many at-bats or innings they wanted to see from a guy before he moved up a level, the answer that came out went back to the old "it depends on the individual and no ideal number exists," which made me happy. It's not really a point of discussion that we can use to go "graaaagh that's too long and studies have shown…" or "no way that's too fast I can't handle it", but I don't really care about that as most of those debates are silly. I guess we'll just have to trust them on this from now on!
* When Francisco Martinez came up in the conversation pretty early on, Pedro immediately noted that other people had seen him play, but he hadn't made it out there yet to give his own evaluation. Consequently, what we got were some stock quotes: above-average tools, lots of power (probably raw power as opposed to game power at this point), can run a bit, etc. The only thing that I would say was new to me was the news that Martinez would play for Magallanes in the LVBP this winter. Now, someone is probably saying in response to that, "why not Lara? Don't we have the agreement with them?" and yes, we do, but it's been fairly common each year to have prospects who have hooked up with either their local team or a team that they've had a previous relationship with. If Martinez wants to stick with Magallanes, that's okay by me.
* Catricala was the next player-specific question, which isn't so surprising as there are a few people in Internetland who are wont to talk about him. Pedro didn't really have anything to say that any of us wouldn't have already expected. "He's hit at every level" (oh yeah?), "he's sort of versatile in that he can play third, first, or left" (yeah, and…?), "his bat plays at those positions" (oh good), and "we'll move him as his performance dictates" (okay!). This seemed to be more of a primer for those who had never heard of the guy before, so it was unlikely to satisfy any of the people who pose me these questions and might have been listening, For what it's worth, he seemed more effusive about Martinez' tools as a third baseman, so you might think that he's more a LF/1B type except that we have like a billion players vying for that job.
* The responses on Taijuan Walker were way, way more interesting in the greater scheme of things because there was the implicit assumption that we already knew who the guy was and the kinds of pitches that he threw. The latest is that he's moving to Arizona to be in close proximity to the training facilities, which I feel like I could add any number of exclamation points to the end to. We knew he was an interesting physical talent, but he's fully committed to this pitching thing and doing all he can do and that is just dope. The word is that that really intended to hold him back and put him in Everett, but after a few starts in extended they just looked at each other and decided that holding him back further would be foolish. Even though he's still really young, he'll move as his performance dictates.
* As Walker questions come, so Paxton questions followed. The first question was "were you surprised?" and the answer was no, no one was surprised. What they like about him beyond the stuff is that he's a competitor (okay…) and supposedly has this sort of presence on the mound and in the clubhouse. He wants to beat the batter on every pitch, which is good, I think. From here, he's going to get his own recommendations from the training crew and go through his offseason work, which is a roundabout way of saying, "no winter ball for you". * I think everyone's clear now on the bullpen needing help where it can get it, because we have a substitute teacher and a bartender out there now and they're two of our best guys. For that reason, Stephen Pryor came up next, and the biggest bit of news there is that he's headed to Lara for the offseason. What followed was a brief outline of him and his abilities, and I started to tune out, but then they mentioned that he was a little sore in the minicamp and this was the reason he was down in extended to start the year and was slow to get going. Back when he began his year in High Desert, he was in his spring training mode, much like what we saw with Guti to start the year.
* Next up on the docket was Littlewood and his conversion to catcher. I'm pretty sure I've already talked about it a bit, citing that physically it makes sense, good hands, kind of big/durable, good/accurate arm, but lacking speed, which might hurt him long-term up the middle. Pedro was pretty insistent that Littlewood could play up the middle and that there wasn't a question of that, and I guess I'll defer to his judgment, though from a tools standpoint they thought that catcher would be a fit, with good catching being hard to find (WE DRAFTED SO MANY). This was all something that came up in spring training. So, Littlewood sat down and talked with Roger Hansen and they started doing some drills and the like. I suppose the big thing is that he was reportedly excited about the transition and wants to go forward with it, which is really different from a lot of the "well, okay, if you really want me to…" sorts of transitions we've sometimes seen at the major league level these past several years. * A question was posed towards the end which was, in so many words, "Carlos Triunfel: what's up?" Pedro's response was pretty much what I expected it to be. There was little mention of his offense, but the matter of his recent injury history came up almost immediately with the discussion of a lost year of development, etc. Something that will probably surprise some is that Pedro said, paraphrased, "if he plays himself off shortstop, he will do it in the big leagues." This syncs up with the whole "keep guys at their most demanding defensive position" thing that the org has adhered to coming up (Seager is sort of an exception, but rules are bent to accommodate openings).
* Towards the end, x questions in, we finally got to the question of Nick Franklin, and with it, official confirmation of concussion, then food poisoning, THEN mono. Important matters of chronology there. The question was framed around whether he would be more offensive-minded or if he was the whole package, and that wasn't answered directly. Pedro talked about how the numbers weren't there in Adelanto, but they loved the process, and I agree to a certain extent in that the process seemed to be present early on, but then all the injuries. As one might expect, he was also trying to rush his way back way too quickly and was pretty much on the first plane out as soon as they cleared him. There was some discussion of loving his play at second and seeing little lost in the transition.
* The next question was the inevitable segue from the previous point, which was "can you see Ackley in center in five years? Would that be crazy?" The answer was no, not crazy, but it's probably not going to be necessary considering how far he's come in the past few years, and the fact is that they love that production from him at that position. I don't think anyone's going to disagree at this point. * The final question was how involved Eric Wedge was in the player development, which I suppose is a relevant item as the pitching philosophies that were disseminated to the minor leagues were often the same as those held by the pitching coach in recent years. The question was answered via various managerial platitudes. In my notes, I have "CLEAN FUNDAMENTAL BASEBALL" in all caps, and that should convey what it needs to. There are certain expectations held and they'll tell you what they are and how to get there, the Mariners way thing that he's talked about before. They like that he's taken interest, because rookies are something one should have to deal with every so often, and they appreciate that he's fiery and the like while I sit and think to myself "you know, the way 'fiery' is spelled is really peculiar". I wonder now how the old "bring back Lou" crowd is faring with a fiery new manager. They probably would still like more. I don't know.
And that's the outlined version of it, or as much as I was really paying attention to. Again, there was nothing revelatory that caused me to fall out of my chair and scream "now I get it!" (Walker moving to Arizona came close). Good notes overall, and probably fit well with the level of knowledge that his audience had anyway. Trying to talk too much about Campos or someone like that probably wouldn't have gone over as well.

Mitt Romney is telling so many lies at the first presidential debate with Barack Obama that we had to take a half time break. Here are Romney's 5 biggest lies of the first half of the debate.
1). Mitt Romney claims he is not cutting taxes for the wealthy
Romney actually began the debate completely reinventing his tax plan. Romney claimed that his tax plan isn't a $5 trillion tax cut. However, yesterday his own running mate Paul Ryan touted Romney's 20% tax cut across the board.
Ryan said, "And so what we're saying is, we're going to lower tax rates for everybody across the board by 20%, and we can pay for that without losing revenue by closing loopholes for people at the top end of the income scale. Everybody gets lower tax rates as a result. And you can keep these preferences for middle class taxpayers and have 20% lower tax rates."
2). Romney claimed his tax plan doesn't raise taxes on the middle class
Mitt Romney used some funny math to claim that his plan doesn't raise taxes on middle class. However, the Tax Policy Center found that Romney's plan, "The report by the centrist Tax Policy Center found that Romney's tax cuts would boost after-tax income by an average of 4.1 percent for those earning more than $1 million a year, while reducing by an average of 1.2 percent the after-tax income of individuals earning less than $200,000."

ZEPHYRHILLS — The City Council mulled over budget options Monday during a time when tax revenue is decreasing and residents are suffering from a tight economy. Members also approved annexation of a parcel of land near Chancey Road that they hope would build revenue in the future.
In a workshop on the city's next budget, the focus was on shoring up possible shortfalls and improving on a previous draft that was short by $132,000.
To balance the budget, the draft would eliminate two vacant city positions (code inspector and curator at the Zephyrhills Depot Museum) and would not include any new employees or pay raises.
If next year's millage rate is kept the same as last year's, City Manager Steve Spina said, the city would generate almost $446,000 less. The council weighed cutting back on services vs. increasing taxes and fees.
Council member Luis Lopez made it clear that the council was stuck with a tough decision.
"They're going to notice, either way," Lopez said. "And they're going to want our heads on a platter, either way."
Lopez said uncertainties about when the economy would turn around and an uneasy populace made the decision even more difficult.
"People are seeing a trend already, and they're starting to get agitated over reduced services," Lopez said. "They're afraid of that term, 'reduced services.' People are getting pretty tense."
The council has through August to draft the final version of the budget. Public discussions of the budget are tentatively scheduled for September.
The council also approved the annexation of almost 53 acres of land owned by Chancey Partners LLC in hopes the land would bring manufacturing jobs into the city and increase the tax base. The council also approved the first reading of an ordinance to rezone the land to industrial use.
The land in question is north of Chancey Road and east of Sam Pasco Park.

Library shows must go on, but without Katie Chaffee
During a job interview more than six years ago, Katie Chaffee was asked why she deserved the newly created position of event coordinator for the lower library gallery.
She replied, "Because I've been waiting for this job longer than anyone else. It's what I've always wanted to do...I envisioned this job when they first built the library (in 1997)."
In April 2004 Chaffee got her dream job. She left the Journal, where she was a reporter. Before that she was elected mayor of River Falls.
Now, in a few weeks, the 62-year-old Chaffee will prepare her final gallery show called, "Into the Garden," opening June 7.
While it's time, she concedes it's hard to go.
"There's a fair amount of creative energy and inspiration that's needed to stage these exhibitions," Chaffee said. "I get excited and revved up trying to produce spectacular shows.
"It's a bit like being an artist, and I'm feeling drained. I keep going back to the well for new ideas, but the well's a little dry.
The gallery's diverse shows include last fall's mental health exhibit called, "The Art of Coping," sponsored by the local affiliate of the National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI). It featured artwork, from paintings to sculpture, done by those with a mental illness.
Another popular one that drew more than 650 people and got valuable input from the River Falls police was called "CSI: RFPL."
There was another on the affects of climate change called "Paradise Lost" that came from the University of Wisconsin's Biology Education Department.
Other exhibits have had topics on the Civil War, World War II, logging of northern Wisconsin pine forests, the Great Lakes fur trade, America in the 1920s and '30s, and local history.
Chaffee said River Falls is lucky to have a beautiful place like the lower library to stage such exhibits and adds, "We are also fortunate that there is a civic commitment from our city to pay for me to do this kind of work."
Chaffee admits to feeling pride when gallery visitors react favorably to a particular exhibit.
Public Library Director Nancy Miller, who oversees Chaffee, said, "Katie has been a great asset as we developed the lower level programming and gallery...I'm going to miss her because we discovered we think alike. There's a real synergistic energy when we start talking and planning, and we're both willing to go with the idea that just about anything is possible.
"It's a little scary sometimes, mostly to other people who think we're crazy. But it's been fun. The ideas just pop, one on top of the other."
As a retiree, Chaffee won't idle in a rocking chair.
"My goal is to live more the way I think we're going to have to live in the future -- reducing our carbon footprint," she said. "I want to get around more by walking and biking, growing more of my own food in a bigger garden at home, adding chickens (if the city passes that new law) and just spending more time with the (three) grandchildren."
Chaffee also will get more involved in the expanding community garden movement, wants to teach herself to spin wool into yarn to knit and sell sweaters, and perhaps get appointed to the city's Plan Commission.
"If good things are going to happen locally, someone has to take charge and do them," she said. "I have a lot to do in retirement, though maybe not the usual things. I won't be bored."

Warsaw The Polish government is expected to release details of a plan to transfer back to the state $US47.6 billion ($50.6 billion) of government bonds held by privately managed funds that invest retirement money on behalf of Poles.
Critics are calling it the most drastic nationalisation of private assets since Soviet times. The government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk counters that it is no more than a bookkeeping change in the way it will handle the public's retirement money.
Critics say that withdrawing the bonds, without compensating the fund managers is tantamount to a seizure of assets. The private funds have managed the bonds essentially as contractors to the government. Those critics, which include leading economists, international fund managers, labour unions and senior members of Mr Tusk's own party, have slammed the proposal as bald populism and creative accounting. A majority of the funds are owned by big foreign money managers including ING, Aviva, Allianz, MetLife and Generali. Altogether, the private funds hold assets worth about €68 billion ($97.6 billion), or more than one-fifth of Poland's gross domestic product, and are among the biggest investors on the Warsaw sharemarket. The fund managers say the move will make them solely reliant on stocks.
Critics say that will make it harder to ensure adequate returns and call into question the safety of Poland as a place for investors to place their money.
"Poland has taken a significant step backward," said David McMillan, chief executive of Aviva Europe in London, which manages a private pension fund in Poland with €17.5 billion in assets. "There is no doubt that the changes have increased the risk of investing in Poland."
The government has stressed the flexibility of the new program, noting that workers will have three months to declare whether they want to remain partly in the privately run funds with their own personal contributions to their retirement accounts, or to have their contributions go entirely to the state system.
Mr Tusk said public debate on the matter would begin on Friday. The proposal alarmed foreign investors and rattled the Warsaw sharemarket when it was first proposed in early September. They worry that it may threaten the future of private funds.

John B. Hale started service on October 19, 1939 under the new designation (October 16, 1939) 5th Quartermaster Battalion as a Private in Company A (photo CCI05262014_0012.jpg); however, his discharge papers list "Co A 2d Inf". The only match that I can make to "Co A 2d Inf" is the 5th Infantry Division, 2nd Infantry Regiment, 1st Battalion, "A" Rifle Company.
He was wounded on July 16, 1944 during close combat when a German grenade landed out of his reach and then exploded as he had his hands clutched over his helmet. Before burying his head and helmet into what he always remarked as "rather tall grass", he had noticed that the shrapnel shroud was missing from the grenade. Not sure how common occurrence that was but it was a very fortunate break for him.
The 5th Infantry Division, 2nd Infantry Regiment was detached to the 7th Armored Division from Sep 10, 1944 to Sep 15, 1944 (http://www.history.army.mil/documents/ETO-OB/7AD-ETO.htm).
Less than a week before he was wounded on September 20, 1944 (second time) he said that he was near Metz, France, when he was battle field promoted to Staff Sergeant. He said that his unit had suffered heavy losses (p. 170 Lorraine Campaign footnote 46 mentions that the 10th Infantry within the 5th Infantry Division already had lost 24 officers and 674 men). Not sure what his rank was before the battlefield promotion to Staff Sergeant.
On September 20, 1944 the 5th Division 2d Infantry Company A (1st Battalion) would have completed the objective for Pournoy and Sillegny that started September 18 1944, specifically Coin-sur-Seille (photo "Map 4 The Fight for Pournoy and Sillegny 18 - 20 September 1944.jpg"). Page 112 from the book The Fifth Infantry Division in the ETO explains the situation that day: "At 1100 hours on the 20th of September the First Battalion Second Infantry passed through the Third Battalion and attacked Coin-sur-Seille. Although the artillery fire was fairly heavy the attack progressed well and by 1800 hours the battalion was in position beyond the objective and digging in."
He was wounded when a bullet from a concealed German machine gun pillbox sprayed a stream of bullets that struck the butt stock of his M1 Garand in his right hand as he was running his squad up a hill. The 11.5 pound rifle twisted his arm with such force that when the next bullet struck it was the mid bicep and bone of his right arm that it went through. The combined momentum flipped him into a nearby row of rutabagas until medics could evacuate him out.

LAS VEGAS — Another race, another victory for Jimmie Johnson. And yet another round of griping about the NASCAR champion's dominance.
Only this time, there was a silver lining for those ready to see someone else hoist the Sprint Cup trophy: His competitors are closing the gap.
Johnson reeled in teammate Jeff Gordon in the Shelby American at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to win his second straight race. The four-time defending champion needed luck last week at California and strategy Sunday at Las Vegas.
Sooner or later, though, he's going to run out of ways to win.
"We don't feel invincible," Johnson said.
And he shouldn't.
Kevin Harvick finished second for the second straight week then showed signs of the swagger that only he can pull off — and only when he's running well.
"We can run with them, and they know it," said Harvick, the points leader.
Gordon, who dominated the race only to have to settle for third when his pit strategy backfired, was buoyed by his ability to lead 219 of the 267 laps.
"I think we've got more of what we showed (Sunday)," he said. " … I think we're just starting to tap into it."
Johnson took four tires on the final pit stop — Harvick and Gordon took only two — in a race-winning decision that gave him his 49th career victory and fourth at Las Vegas. And the win made him the career victory leader on 1.5-mile speedways with 15 — one more than Gordon, Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty.
Told of his intermediate-track dominance, he did a celebratory fist-pound with crew chief Chad Knaus and shook team owner Rick Hendrick's hand.
This one required beating Gordon, Johnson's Hendrick Motorsports teammate.
Gordon, who hasn't won in almost a year, was out front when Kevin Conway's spin brought out the final caution, and he debated pitting strategy with crew chief Steve Letarte.
The call was made at the last second for Gordon to come in, and Letarte changed just two tires to get Gordon back on the track before the competition. Knaus called for four tires in a decision that put Johnson in fourth on the restart.
Clint Bowyer, who didn't pit, restarted as the leader with 34 laps to go, and the Hendrick cars split him to move back to the front. Gordon held the top spot for 17 laps but fretted several times as Johnson looked inside and out.
Gordon tried to hold off Johnson, who then scooted past with 17 laps to go. He quickly pulled away, and Gordon was unable to hold off Harvick.
"If we won the race, we'd look like geniuses, Steve would have," Gordon said. "The fact that we lost the race, now Chad looks like a genius."
But Knaus quickly defended Letarte. The two work closely at Hendrick Motorsports.
"I didn't outsmart him. He did not make the wrong call," Knaus said. "There wasn't a wrong call to make. They came in first. They wanted to maintain track position because track position is so critical. Only way for us to beat them was to do something different."
Johnson could sympathize with his teammates.
"In the end it obviously worked out really good for us," he said. "Any time a caution comes out, if you're the leader, you're bummed, especially if you have a gap. For everyone else, you're excited because it's an opportunity to make your stuff better and hopefully gain positions on pit road."
Once Johnson passed Gordon, Harvick pounced for second place.
"Just came up one spot short," Harvick said. "Do I think we could have beat him? I don't know. But I think we would have at least had a shot."
Mark Martin finished fourth to give Hendrick three cars in the top 10. Matt Kenseth was fifth, followed by Joey Logano, Tony Stewart, Bowyer, Kasey Kahne and Greg Biffle.
Defending race winner Kyle Busch was flagged for speeding on pit road and finished 15th. Big brother Kurt, who started from the pole, was caught in an early accident with Daytona 500 winner Jamie McMurray and Juan Pablo Montoya and finished 35th.

Georgetown College Equine Scholar Anna Meurer, the current National Hippology Champion by virtue of her win in November at the 4-H Eastern Nationals in Louisville, recently learned she will have the opportunity to become the first Kentuckian to pull off a rare double when she competes at 4-H Western Nationals in Denver this January.
Anna, a sophomore from Danville, KY, likened Hippology (study of the horse) competition to an equine knowledge decathlon, including Horse Judging, Written Examination and Slide Identification, Identification Stations and Team Problem Solving. Examples of topics are Reproduction, Training, Parasites, History and Origins, Anatomy and Physiology, Horse Industry, Horse Management, Breeds, Genetics, Famous Horses in History, Parts of the Saddle, Types of Bits, Feedstuffs and Nutrition. Unfortunately, rules prevent her from competing in Hippology again, so in Colorado she'll do Individual Presentation.
A History and Religion double major, Political Science minor, Anna is a voting member of the District 4 Horse Management Team and writer of the organizations monthly newsletter, a 4-H volunteer, and leader of the Garrard County 4-H Horse Club.
She and GC Equine Scholar Brittany Sims, a freshman from Harrodsburg, KY, were also part of the four-member Kentucky team that captured the title of Reserve Champion Team at Eastern Nationals. Both were also members of the winning team at Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus, OH, in October.

BlackBerry turns to the courts to stop executive from defecting to Apple
But before Marineau-Mes could sit at his new desk at Apple, BlackBerry sued to prevent him from going anywhere. As it turns out, under the terms of a contract signed by Marineau-Mes for a promotion, he had to give BlackBerry six months notice before leaving. And sure enough, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice saw it the same way, which means that the executive will have to wait until June 23rd before receiving his new business cards.
We're not sure why BlackBerry would still want this guy sitting around for another three months. After all, he is leaving for a rival company, he surely has to be bitter about the whole thing, and he probably can't wait to leave. We get the whole idea of John Chen showing off BlackBerry's newly found determination and strength, but why would you want someone like that hanging around your HQ everyday when his mind is California dreaming?
Perhaps Chen is hoping that Marineau-Mes gets an eyeful of the BlackBerry Windermere and decides to stay.

They're keeping him because they would rather have more time to find a replacement than not. Regardless, can't see him contributing much to the sinking ship that is BB. Definitely can't blame him for trying to switch, Apple's float in all waters lol, don't know about BBs.

BB is dying, no one want to be in dying company and got cut. Jumping to better job right now is smarter than being cut. Being cut could result in no job for the rest of his life.

The guy received a promotion to Executive Vice President of Product Development in September of 2013. His contract stipulated that he had to give six months notice before leaving. BlackBerry is doing nothing wrong by making the guy honor his contract. He would expect the same from BlackBerry. And anyone on this site, including me, would expect the same from my employer. That's all there is to this. He is free to go in June, which is not a long time from now.

Blackberry should have let him go and just have the court motion that any end of contract payout to him be voided, because if he was already going to another company, he isn't going to be a benificial contributor to the company he is leaving during any of that time.

Many companies have a "non-compete" clause. He knew the position of Blackberry when he signed his contract. He tethered himself to a sinking ship. While they can not force him to work for their company, they can prevent him from working for a competitor. But why sit home and not get paid? Might as well make money in the interim. Now the question is will he have a position at Apple in June availble to him?

He is smart and leaving the sinking ship before he drowns. Good move
7. verty (Posts: 125; Member since: 07 May 2012)
Shame on apiskula finalflash and the others. Blackberry is bigger than your tiny world. And may I repeat I see nothing spectacular about your toy iPhone. Just sold my iPhone for a z30 and boy that phone and OS leaves IOS in the dust. bigger screen better battery life and so less restrictive..... Longlive BB. Give BB a break and see that John Chen is pushing hard. I still wonder why zombies gravitate towards overpriced 'underfunctional' garbage. Typo even had to copy BB for that extra....

Trolls like Apiskula and company can't help but be trolls. Their lives would be meaningless if they didn't have BlackBerry to bash.
9. WahyuWisnu (Posts: 1001; Member since: 29 May 2014)
You were comparing the wrong smartphone. iToy is stuck at 4", if you wanna upgrade, buy Samsung Galaxy S5, or LG G3, or Sony Xperia Z2, or Oppo Find 7, or OnePlus One, or HTC One 2014.
Z30 is big, and sure it's looks amazing compared to iphone, but it's really 10 year behind android. Z30 problem is using an operating system that will cease to exist very soon. a.k.a bad support, and no apps.

It may be wrong to beat a man (or a newspaper) when he's down, but some of the unconscionable and downright annoying features and practices of news sites warrant a little attention. Here are some of the worst offenders:
1. 50 million-word stories
The reason why so many people use the internet to get their news is because they can do so fairly quickly. So that Pulitzer Prize candidate that takes two years to scroll through and resembles an endless sea of text? Either break it up or kick it down a notch.
2. Multi-page "slideshows"
On the flip side, there are the popular online "slideshows" — one news story spread over several pages, usually with a single image and a paragraph of text on each page. While the practice may be good for page views, no one wants to click through 27 different pages to read a single story.
3. Expanding/ "Rich media" ads
You're going about your business, reading a news article when suddenly that innocuous ad in the corner expands across the page and some cute animation demands your attention. You panic and search for the "close" button, but because it's tucked away in the last spot you'll ever look, you can't finish reading the news article and leave the site in disgust. Sound familiar?
4. No links whatsoever
Often a news story will refer to some cool, hip, happening site, but because there is no link to said site, readers are left to Google it themselves. Sometimes, this is the fault of the reporter for not including the link or at minimum a note to do so. Yet many news sites just don't have a practice of linking out or even worse, don't include links in fear that their readers may be taken away from their site.
5. Registration
Thankfully many news organizations have seen the error of their ways and stopped requiring visitors to register just to view a single story. There are a few holdouts who insist on the practice and who fail to realize that many visitors would rather not read the story at all than to endure a five-minute registration process for a site they may never return to anyway.
6. Poor design
The average front page of a major news site looks like the HTML fairies threw up on it: endless columns of text and links with no real differentiation between the content. If you're going to do the column thing, check out Alltop to see how it's supposed to be done.
7. Full-screen ads
Upon visiting a news site, readers are greeted with a full-screen ad for something or the other instead of the story they were expecting to read. Again, done to generate advertising revenue, but it doesn't make the practice any less annoying.
8. The never-ending hunt
As seen on TV? Not really. Many television newscasters at the end of a report will say something along the lines of "For more information, check out our website" and give the station's web address. However, when the viewer actually visits the site, the link to the story is nowhere to be found and doesn't show up in the site's search.
9. Pop-up ads
Are we really still doing these? Really?
10. Comment trolls and flamers
These guys are the bane of many sites' existence (and not just news ones). Because of the sometimes controversial nature of whats being reported, people use news sites as a forum for their bitter, inflammatory, racist or insulting remarks. Frustrated site managers try to dissuade or delete said comments, but are mostly crying on the inside and clinging to the notion that everyone has the right to free speech.

DESPITE dominating large parts of the match, third-placed Christian Malford had to settle for a 2-2 draw against leaders Melksham Cosmos in their home game at Kington Langley.
Malford, who had not played for over a month, seemed to adapt quicker to the very heavy pitch and in the first half hour had a succession of corners but could not convert despite hitting the bar and having one attempt cleared off the line.
Cosmos were restricted to attacks on the break although Chris Berrelly in midfield was looking extremely comfortable on the ball.
Shaun Jenkins in the Cosmos goal was certainly the busier of the two keepers at this stage but could do nothing to stop Malford's opening goal in the 33rd minute. An excellent cross field ball from Scott Evans found Tom Watchman who hit the ball on the run into the net from just outside the penalty area.
Malford then had another period of dominance but conceded a free kick about 30 yards from their goal in the 39th minute. Matt Hutchings in the Malford goal could only parry the fierce shot from Alex Shaftoe and Marc Scammell was first to react scoring to equalise for Cosmos who had the better of the last few minutes of the first period.
Both teams were feeling the effects of the heavy pitch and play slowed a little as the game wore on. Both teams began to use their substitutes as Malford again began to get on top.
Cosmos were also giving the Malford defence problems on the break and it was a little against the run of play when Cosmos took the lead. After failing to clear a long ball, Cosmos substitute Matt Bowden fired home from inside the area to give the visitors a 2-1 lead in the 75th minute.
Malford now pressed for an equaliser and again had the ball cleared off the goal line as well as several corners. In the 85th minute another corner from Alex Warburton was headed home by Paul Knight to bring Malford level at 2-2. In the final minute Malford had a glorious chance to win but the Cosmos keeper saved Dave Brown's effort.
The game ended a 2-2 draw, the reverse fixture also finished with 0-0 stalemate.

Right now I'm addicted to podcasts and am in the process of listening to every episode of WTF, Harmontown, The Smartest Man in The World, Girl on Guy, and This Feels Terrible.
For music, I like a mix of traditional jazz vocals, alternative Texas country, and 80s-90s rap, with random crap like Bruce Springsteen, Guns N Roses, and Lady Gaga thrown in. My favorite solo female country singer, Bonnie Bishop, just followed me on Twitter and it makes me giddy. No B-52's and no Rush.
Just found a new soft pecorino that makes me positively euphoric. I spend my days thinking of new things to stuff with prosciutto. I love to cook but don't do it as often as I should since I discovered Trader Joe's lobster ravioli. I gave up veal a couple years ago for moral reasons, and it's one of the hardest things I've ever done.

Alvin's first shoot with the 5DsR. Verdict - amazing resolution and detail, but the dynamic range is on par with the 1dx, and still not quite as good as the Sony sensors. However for large prints, it is unrivalled in DSLRs.

The unmistakable volcanic rocks of Oahu seascapes. I had the intentions of capturing the dying glow of the afternoon light at Makapu'u Beach with Rabbit Island in the background. However, as is often the case, the best light is behind you, so I captured the soft light emanating from behind the mountains of Waimanalo.

Lorelei's Chicken Paprikash
Recipe by Carole Whitmore
Another one of my mom's great recipes. I can remember fights at the table over who got the last piece. My dad always won. Great the next day if any's left over.
Top Review by HeatherFeather
I thought this unique version of Chicken Paprikash was delicious. I had never had this dish with orange juice and peas in it before and thought these ingredients complimented the dish very nicely. Easy to prepare,clear instructions, filling, and tasty results. Notes: I used real sherry rather than cooking sherry (which I find too salty) and I also used freshly squeezed orange juice rather than the concentrate, as that was all I had on hand. I would repeat these changes as everything worked out perfectly. (See photo).

Berlin poster
By Bamboo
from Overseas - Asia Pac
Purchase Reason
I wanted an iconic poster to promote a college course that I would be teaching in Berlin. I tried to find a tourist-type poster, but none were satisfactory. I chose this one because it was a powerful image of the Brandenburg Gate, which is an iconic symbol of Berlin. I wanted something a little more contemporary but this poster works well. I adapted it by adding a sheet below the poster with my message about the class.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Center for Creative Scholars
Located on the Hattiesburg campus, the Center for Creative Scholars provides an array of workshops, seminars, and professional development resources for students, teachers, and other education professionals.
Creativity Exploration Workshops in mid-July serve gifted and talented participants ranging from second grade to high school. Area teachers assist in designing unique creative environments with a scholarly focus. The Creativity Write-Down offers a curricular array for out-of-school learning on a January Saturday.
As part of the university emphasis on student-oriented professional research, the Center for Creative Scholars provides extended support for student-oriented projects. Scholarly undergraduates at William Carey University and those preparing to enter graduate school are encouraged to take their work out into regional and national venues.
The Center successfully competes for research grants through various organizations, businesses, and the Department of Education. Notably, William Carey's Creative Scholars center leads partner universities in statistical work with restricted data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The work with NAEP has been funded by the Department of Education and the National Art Education Association. Dr. Read Diket, Center Director, presents regularly and chairs sessions during the American Education Research Association annual meetings.
