We're pleased to announce that Rackspace Cloud Files now supports Edge Purge via the Cloud Files API. This feature allows customers to quickly edit or delete content on the edge server.
When an object is CDN enabled and requested from an end user, the object is cached at the edge. That object remains unchanged, untouched, etc. as long as the TTL or cache control has not expired, no matter what happens at the origin. This is the main principle behind CDNs and what makes them so fast. However, that means that you may have to wait up to 3 days before your content is refreshed.
Let's say my website is serving (via CDN) a banner that advertises that I'm giving away widgets for the next month. What if my factory is swamped overloaded and we can't take any more orders? Without Edge Purge, my content is going to live there for 3 days, or I have to upload a new banner and change my website code. That's a lot of widgets to make! Edge Purge allows me to make changes or delete existing files quickly.
There are two basic ways of accomplishing an Edge Purge. We have chosen to implement what is called "invalidation". This means that once you request a to purge, your cache control will be flagged as expired. The next time your object is requested, the edge will check back with the origin to see if there have been any updates, and serve the appropriate content.
This method of Edge Purge is exceptionally helpful when you want to purge an entire container. With this method, the objects that have been changed will be re-cached with the appropriate content, but the unchanged objects will be served as normal, at normal speeds. We did not utilize the method in which all objects in the container had to be resent because it increased latency on objects that may have not changed.
Here are some sample calls for purging an object and container…
Object Purge
To purge a given object "foo.txt" in the container "bar", send the following to the X-CDN-Management-URL:
DELETE /v1/<account-id>/bar/foo.txt HTTP/1.1
Host: cdn.clouddrive.com
X-Auth-Token: <auth-token>
X-Purge-Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
That will purge that object from Akamai, and send an email to user@… when it's done.
Container Purge
To purge an entire container named "bar", send the following to the X-CDN-Management-URL:
DELETE /v1/<account-id>/bar HTTP/1.1
Host: cdn.clouddrive.com
X-Auth-Token: <auth-token>
X-Purge-Email: email@example.com
That will purge all objects in that container from Akamai, and send an email to user@… when it's done.
Note that the email address for both sample calls is optional, or can be a comma-separated list if you want to notify more than one person.
We have updated our Cloud Files API Developer Guide if you want more details. Let us know if you have any questions regarding Edge Purge, the CDN, or anything else. We are happy to help.
UPDATE: Customers are limited to 25 object purge requests per day. Customers who need to submit a whole container purge request should contact Support. For best practices on when to use purge, please see our knowledge center article: http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/Using_Edge_Purge

Semester Exchange FAQs
How will it affect my graduation from AUWCL?
How much will it cost?
How will it affect my financial aid?
When can I go?
What if I don't speak the language?
What if I want to study on a program not listed on this web site?
I've read all the information on your web site, but I still have questions. Who do I contact?
Are the Semester Exchange Programs ABA approved?
Yes! All of AUWCL's study abroad and international exchange programs are approved by and meet the requirements of the ABA's Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar. Each foreign institution AUWCL partners with is government sanctioned or recognized; recognized or approved by an evaluation body; and/or chartered to award first degrees in law by the appropriate authority within the country. Additionally, AUWCL has a formal written agreement with all of the programs host institution and reviews and approves all of the course work the student will complete while abroad.
Who is eligible?
Any 2L or 3L student in good standing may apply. In the case of over-subscription, 3L's will be given preference, with due consideration given to any language requirements an institution may have.
I am not a AUWCL Student. Can I still participate?
Yes. Please note that priority is given to AUWCL students. Visiting students must receive permission from their home school before applying to any AUWCL semester abroad program. For more information, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or (202) 274-4177.
Will I get credit?
According to ABA standards, students may transfer up to 12 credits to AUWCL from their host institution. As a general practice, grades are not transferred, and all credit transfer will be determined by the AUWCL registrar.
How will it affect my graduation from AUWCL?
Studying abroad should be an asset and add to the quality of a student's legal education and experience. Thus any student wishing to spend a semester abroad should speak with the registrar about what academic requirements the student has met and what requirements have yet to be fulfilled. These requirements affect a student's ability to graduate in a timely manner, and steps should be taken to ensure the semester abroad experience does not interfere with the student's expectations. AUWCL students may defer any remaining academic requirements at AUWCL until they return.
How much will it cost?
Since you will be participating in a AUWCL affiliated program, you will be paying all tuition and fees to AUWCL. Visiting students will pay all tuition and fees to AUWCL. Scholarship and grant resources can be found here.
How will it affect my financial aid?
It should not affect your financial aid in any way. Before applying to any semester abroad opportunity, please consult the AUWCL Financial Aid Office with any specific questions about your aid package. If you are a visiting student, you should consult your home school financial aid office to asses whether you will be able to complete a consortium agreement to transfer aid to AUWCL for your semester abroad.
When can I go?
Most programs allow either fall or spring semester exchange students. Bar Ilan, Bucerius, Univ Carlos III, and Ghent allow students to visit only during the fall semester and Utrecht only in the spring. Please see individual program pages for specific program dates as many European schools have varying calendars.
What if I don't speak the language?

In his new book, Thomas Rid explores the opportunities and challenges that cyberspace creates for those who use violence for political purposes. In-person appearance tonight at Asia Society New York.
Author Thomas Rid says he "can't see a good reason why an innovation that has never injured or killed a single human being — cyber-attacks — should prompt us to rethink the notion of war."
Dane Chamorro, Asia-Pacific director for global risk analysis at the independent consultancy Control Risks, explains why businesses need to "do their homework" — and why some cyberattacks are inevitable.

First chapter of a new three-part Clone Wars storyline...
Anakin Skywalker confronts his destiny in "Overlords".

A mysterious force draws Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano to the distant planet of Mortis, where Anakin learns of his destiny from a family of exceptionally powerful Force-wielders. Convinced that Anakin will bring balance to the Force, the family's patriarch urges the young Jedi to stay and maintain the equilibrium between the light side and the dark side. Glimpses into the prophecy of the Chosen One are revealed in "Overlords," the first chapter of a three-part Clone Wars storyline, beginning at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT Friday, January 28 on Cartoon Network.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op5T8Nds2T0"]STAR WARS[/ame]
Featuring momentous revelations that could affect the fate of the galaxy and the balance of the Force itself, "Overlords" marks the beginning of a massive Clone Wars arc. There will be revelations and betrayals, as well as all-new perspectives on the very fabric of the Star Wars mythology.
"This is a very important chapter in Anakin's development," says Dave Filoni, supervising director of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. "The prophecy of the Chosen One was touched on in the films, but never like this. Were going to look at what it means for Anakin and the galaxy. We wanted to give it the proper connection to the larger saga. I am very grateful to have Liam Neeson and Pernilla August reprising their roles from the live-action films. They are each so important to Anakins journey, and to have them on our series has been incredible."
In the live-action Episodes I and II, August portrayed Shmi Skywalker - Anakins mother. Prompting the fateful first steps that would ultimately bring balance to the Force, she urged her young son to follow in the footsteps of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi - seeking the promise of a better life among the stars. Asked back to reprise the pivotal role, August recalls her own introduction to the Star Wars family.
"It's funny to be asked back to do a voice for the series, because it makes me recall my screen test for Episode I, all those years ago," she says. "I was nervous because I am from Sweden and I speak with an accent; I was afraid I wouldn't fit in an American film. But George was so sweet to me. He said that I came from a Swedish galaxy, and it made me feel so much better. I guess anything is possible so far, far away! When I got the part, of course, I was thrilled. I knew only the legacy of Star Wars to that point. That was all any of us knew back then; we were becoming part of something tremendous. What no one could foresee was that it would continue to grow and evolve and thrive as it has, and that it would become so important to new generations. As a mother myself, this is a role that has meant a lot to me, and it is so wonderful that Shmi can live on in The Clone Wars series."
Returning to the role of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn - who perished in Episode I at the hands of Darth Maul - Neeson remains one of the most venerated figures in the Star Wars canon. Wise beyond even the teachings of the Jedi Order, he was the first to see the potential - and the danger - in young Anakin's future. His mentor role echoed that of Alec Guinness' Obi-Wan Kenobi in Episode IV and reflected a universal motif that runs throughout the Saga.
"There's a nobility to [the Jedi], something classic and universal," says Neeson. "Growing up, my heroes were cowboys; they were strong and mysterious and it seemed like they always rode off into the sunset. For kids today, Star Wars has that same kind of magic. I really wanted to be a part of that. Playing Qui-Gon was very exciting for me, and it's nice to see that it still means so much to so many people. I remember my initial audition, before Episode I. There was no discussion of the script or the story; it was just a conversation with George, and we spent the entire time talking about our kids. At the end of the lunch, we hadn't even touched on Star Wars - but I got the part. It's fitting that my 'audition' was based on that connection, because it's what sticks with me still. These characters resonate with children, even after all these years."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Just as he has on numerous other occasions Adam "Pacman" Jones made headlines again; however, it's not another run-in with law enforcement.
http://www.newschannel5.com/global/s...Type=PrintableNewsChannel 5 Sports learned Sunday, that Jones, in the midst of his suspension from the NFL, may be seen in a wrestling ring near you in the coming weeks.
Sources said that Pacman has signed, or will soon sign, a contract with Nashville-based TNA -Total Non-stop Action Wrestling - which is headed by Jeff Jarrett of Hendersonville.
TNA is the same wrestling federation that former Titan, Frank Wycheck, wrestled for some weeks back. Jarrett was out of the country Sunday night, but will be back in Nashville Monday.
Pacman's agent, Michael Hughe, said he could neither confirm nor deny the story.

AUBURN HILLS --ĀComing into a new situation after a trade is an adjustment for any player.
Guard Jose Calderon has had to play his first two games as a Piston with zero practice time.
Calderon was cleared Monday. The Pistons were playing the second game of a back-to-back Monday so there was no shootaround and the Pistons don't practice after back-to-backs so there was no practice Tuesday.
Calderon went through shootaround Wednesday, but played his second game for Detroit without going through a full practice.
Thursday marked the first time Calderon was able to practice with his teammates.
Despite the lack of practice time Pistons coach Lawrence Frank is not worried about Calderon picking things up and said he's a quick studay.
"It's not learning the plays, it's understanding where you should pass to guys and at what time," Frank said. "He has a very good feel for it. Plus him getting a feel ... just learning our personnel and those guys learning him. ... When you make a trade you have to hit the ground running and you have to go through some of the pains that entails."
Detroit is 0-2 in the two games Calderon has played.
Calderon had eight points and nine assists Wednesday after having 15 points and three assists in his debut.
"We're talking about a guy that's been in the league eight years," Frank said. "It's just going to be a matter of feel, his and also the other four guys playing with him and understanding what his strengths are. We're going to go through a ripple effect. When you make a change, it doesn't just affect the guy coming in, but it affects everyone else. Whether it's a certain guy moving to different position, different minutes. There's going to be a ripple effect and that's part of it. It's short-term pain for long-term gain.
"It's no excuse for why we lost (Wednesday), but we're going to continue to go through those impacts because we're going to continue to search and see different ways, how we can be more effective. Our record is what our record is, despite several games that could have gone either way. We got to continue to search for answers."
In addition to adjusting to Calderon the Pistons have had to finish the last two games with Drummond, who is battling a sore back.
He played a little more than eight minutes Monday before leaving the game and played less than five minutes Wednesday before shutting it down again.
"It's my tailbone," Drummond said. "I feel on it the wrong way in the Laker game. Just need a day or two so I'm good.
"I felt good just after I took the charge (Wednesday) it hit me again so, 'I'm just going to chill.'
"It's tough I couldn't be out there to help my teammates for the second game. I'm going to take care of the situation and I'll be back in no time."
Drummond missed practice Thursday so he could meet with team doctors as a precaution and is listed as day-to-day.
Detroit (18-32) welcomes in San Antonio Friday night.
The Spurs (39-11) have the league's best record and have won 11 straight.
Tim Duncan missed San Antonio's last game with a sore knee and has missed five of their last six.
Manu Ginobili has missed the last two games with a sore hamstring.
Duncan and Ginobili are considered day-to-day so it's unclear if they will play Friday.

I don't think it's anywhere near as far as you're guessing. A 50 ft circle is smaller than the putting circle, and getting a drive to stick in a zone like that from a long distance over a water carry is something that most pros wouldn't even attempt. From what I've seen, most of the top guys are looking to get a putt on any "easy" ~450'ers but only the very best golfers are approaching 90%.
Anecdotal evidence but at the Majestic at BRP, there is a 750' wide open driving range hole with a thin creek from 420'-440'. Very few guys were even attempting to clear the creek this year. Schusterick was the only one I saw from the handful of groups I watched and even he ended up at ~475' with a stable Destroyer. Most of the top guys were just laying up a big hyzer at 400' and then sticking another hyzer under the basket. Granted, the risk vs. reward for going over the creek tends to call for a lay up but still most of these guys were just taking the hazard completely out of play because they weren't 100% confident they could clear it, let alone park it on an island at 500'.


text: Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the game on 04/10. I have been to every game so far, but my work scheduled me for the game Sunday. Anyone who wants my tickets can give me their name and I will put the two tickets at will call tonight. Remember it is Area 55, so you will have to be loud and proud. Just thought I could give them to someone on here who has always wanted to sit in Area 55.

This follows a crack/corner. There are pretty big dikes which you mantle. Some strectchy moves. Bolts at top of first pitch. Second pitch is short and real easy but little to no protection.

I don't think I'd call the pro on this pg13, it's pretty good. all the moves on p1 are protectable, and p2 is super easy (and still has some pro.)
Not as good as surrealistic pillar, but still a very fun climb.

|The first move is 10-something if you do the obvious and jam it. Fortunately, after some consultation with ground control, I figured out the easier way. I have some sympathy with the "dike and hike" comment above. Although I enjoyed the route, I found myself getting a little annoyed at having to do the same move over and over: feet and hands on big dike, but crack more or less useless and the right wall concave. I typically would lean way left off the crack, palm the left wall, smear the right wall, high step onto the high dike, and then struggle to rock onto it. The much easier second pitch is worth doing if only for the view of the main wall above. We had never been up there, and it was a gorgeous fall day.

The rating on this route seems a little bit dependent on height. The start was definitely easier for my 6' partner as he was able to make the initial move straight on and hit the big jam up high directly as he smeared up in one move, thus allowing him to put his foot in the giant pod with a secure hand jam. At 5'6", I had to do two tenuous smearing moves in a left layback position off the ground, shift my balance straight, then gaston the two slopey edges of the wide pod (effortful) in order to hike one foot up into it before I could stand up and reach that jam. Kinda hard! A spotter is a nice thing to have in such case.
The rest of the route is quite well protected.

Couple things about starting this route...
It may be that it is more difficult if you are short. It is one move of 5.8 for me at 5'10", then the rest of the climb is 5.7 or easier.
However, if you're starting out doing tenuous smears, you missed a key foot on the face, that isn't height dependent.
Also, if you're leading this route and nervous about the opening moves, you can preprotect it. I did this years ago in my beginner days. You can place a small cam over your head while standing on the ground that protects the move.

Ah, yes, certainly I did get that key foothold (only way I could hold that layback position), but when you have to make 2-3 additional moves, it soon feels a bit tenuous.
As for pre-placing a cam over your head, no, you cannot do this if you cannot reach said placement; don't think I didn't try! My 6' partner was able to place it, however.

|hmm, just did it again the other day. because of the sloping ground at the start, you can lean in from uphill and slot the cam if you wish. It was around chest height for me from up there.

Single 60 m rope just long enough to bail from the P1 bolts. Supertopo says the bolts are 120' off the deck which is probably not correct. I'd say closer to 98' as both ends of the rope barely make it to the ground.
Agree with other posts on the importance of placing a piece from the ground to protect the first two moves and that I often found myself lying back off the left side of the crack.
Bring a bunch of small pro. You'll need it.
BTW - I'm tired of all the short guy whining! Y'all will make it up just fine :)

Whoa, daniel, I am neither short nor whining. Wtf.
I realize now that c.i. and I are talking about different placements. Yes, I can reach the one he refers to, but it's not really high enough to keep you from hitting the rocks below, plus I wanted to put my fingers there, not gear. I'm referring to the #1 jam up higher, which is where my partner could put a cam (but I couldn't).
Tried the move unroped in my approach shoes the other day with a straight-on gaston off the pod, and it felt much easier than before, no laybacking required. I wasn't in as good shape two months ago (early days coming back from an injury that required a year off). However, the rating off the ground still remains a bit height dependent imo.

First half of p1 has a lot of 5.8 moves, in between huge, hands-free rests. The crux 5.8 move is definitely off the ground and it is not that far away from a huge jug, 10 feet up.
Second pitch is definitely "R" rated, but the climbing is super easy 4th and 5th class and maybe one, 5.6'ish move just above the belay.

I'm 5'10" and have a hard time with the first move -- for whatever reason I pretty much have to lieback it. Five years ago I followed it and had the damndest time until I did that.
When I led it today I reached up and placed a yellow (#2) C3 before leaving the ground and that gave me peace of mind enough to pull the lieback. YMMV

I found this route pretty fun. I don't get all the griping about mantling--I got into a pretty good and easy rhythm of mantling on the dikes. Lots of no hands stances to place gear.
I guess if you're looking for a straight in crack climb, yeah, you'll be disappointed. I think you'll be disappointed by a lot of the routes at the Leap!
Don't let the second pitch intimidate you, yeah it's runout, but if you got through the first pitch OK then all the moves will be super easy for you. Good mental training for something a little spicier like Surrealistic Pillar.

(beta alert!) I'm 5'8" and if you find the foothold for the left foot on the face, the start is 5.8. I didn't find it the first time I pulled up into that slot.
There were 3 or 4 mantles on the first pitch that were way more heads up than anything on the 2nd pitch which seemed really casual.
This route was way better than I expected.

|Meh, I was not really taken by this route. Nothing spectacular. Didn't find the first 5.8 move difficult. Just put my foot in and jumped up and grabbed a hold. Go for it, you are not that far off the ground yet. Then comes a bunch of 5.7 that seemed like boring climbing to me. Linked this up with Traveller's Buttress so that made it more worth while.

this is a route for those who are into mantling galore: long with good rest, plenty of gear placement (P1) and more than one crux. i didn't do my homework before getting on it and wasn't thrilled. i also did this after leading Corrugation Corner so any climb would seem uneventful i guess.
the move off the ground is awkward but didn't find it the crux. i'm south of 5'8" so reaching for the good hand jam up high is not an option for me. did not layback it either. after much fiddling, i pulled the move by finger-locking the small flaring crack straight-in, smearing the key small knob to throw an insane right high-step into the shoulder-height pod.
gear beta spoiler alert: 0.75 camelots and down plus nuts. i placed one red camelot but you can go without it.

I thought the first 2 moves were particularly more difficult than the rest of the climb and harder than 5.8. As an East Coast climber it reminded me of the first few moves of Conns East Direct at Seneca. The climb was rated 5.6... except for the first two 5.8 moves :)
Don't let them intimidate you. The rest of the climb is easier and a lot of fun.
This was the first move of my first climb at the Leap, and I was really surprised when I almost came off there.

|The initial move off the ground is tricky (UK 5a) but a knee is useful for older, inflexible climbers like myself. The main groove is a bit repetitive with slippy layaway moves between rests. Alpine experience ( = always take the easiest line) encouraged me to move left then back right on P2, avoiding the mantle move altogether!

my first trad lead. had a lot of fun. Couple balancy mantles but nothing too hard.
The second pitch wasn't much fun. The first move right off the belay was pretty big, felt like it wouldn't be hard to get a unsafe fall factor if you came off trying to stand. That being said the 3 of us did it no problem.
If I do it again I'll prob just rap off after pitch one

|Personally, I think the very first bouldering move (compared to an actual boulder) is at least V0/5.9. Make sure your follower can do this before you're 100 feet up. After that, 5.7+/5.8 on the toughest moves of the first pitch. Don't skip the second pitch! There's a super fun mantle (5.7?) right off the bat, and then really very little pro for the second pitch, but it's easy.

FOXHAM eventer Georgie Spence will be hoping the weather is a little kinder to her sport in 2013, as she looks to make an impression in major competition.
The 24-year-old, who shot to public attention in 2009 when she took two horses round the Badminton cross-country circuit inside the allotted time, endured a frustrating 2012.
Like many others in the eventing family Spence's ambitions fell victim to a seemingly non-stop bombardment of rain throughout the year, which forced the cancellation of Badminton and many other high-profile dates in the sport's calendar.
Spence illustrated just how irritating a prolonged wet spell can be for a rider, how it can affect a horse's development and short-term potential and how the elements test an eventer mentally.
Speaking at her frost-bitten Lock Farm base, however, the former Stonar School pupil stressed that dealing with the weather is part and parcel of life as a rider in England.
"There are lucky people who have lucky schools who stay nice and warm and dry," she said. "Certainly this last year I have found you end up going to a lot more dressage or jumping competitions or just working them at home and you can't get out.
"A couple of times we were so flooded here that we couldn't get out, which is a complete nightmare but you just deal with it.
"It's the sport and it's the country. It is frustrating if a horse is peaked and you're ready to go to the event and it's cancelled and that's when you think 'oh dear'.
"If you're looking at preparation events and two of them get cancelled, you're thinking 'oh god, where am I going to go next? How can I prepare?' "That's the biggest thing, if you end up getting to an event and thinking 'am I not prepared?' But at the end of the day it's a sport and I think we have just as many that we get to and the ground is hard and you think you shouldn't run. We just had a lot more wet conditions last year."
Despite being marooned at her stables near Lyneham in 2012 after heavy rainfall, Spence still insists that she wouldn't want to be located anywhere else.
And she is hoping for a positive 12 months - with the return of Badminton a welcome highlight.
"Wiltshire and near Gloucestershire is a really good location because all the events are within two hours. I'm lucky in that sense," she said.
"My horse is going to Badminton again, as long as it doesn't rain again, and we're looking forward to the year."

The retail industry, yours truly included, has had a watchful eye on J.C. Penney ever since CEO Ron Johnson took over and announced his plans to revamp the iconic retailer. Many experts have shared their concerns over the new direction and, as the second quarter numbers would indicate, cause for concern is clearly warranted. With overall sales plummeting nearly $1 billion dollars, and earnings plunging from an expected $41 million profit to an $81 million loss, the company is down $1.7 billion in sales and $260 million in earnings in the first half of the year, compared to 2011. I don't think this is what Johnson had in mind.
I'm not sure how much of this is just the inevitable growing pains associated with the process of implementing the new plan. I think this could be a case of "too much too soon." A radical new pricing overhaul that was supposed to bring clarity has instead brought confusion, and customers have clearly not responded well to J.C. Penney's attempt to eliminate the concept of sales and restructure their promotional offerings. Because they were having trouble communicating the new strategy to customers, Johnson has recently announced that they will do some backtracking. Among other things, they're bringing back sales, which is probably a good start.
One thing the department store giant is not changing, however, is its plan to introduce a range of new and enticing aspirational and "best-in-class" brands as part of their long-term reboot. They're bringing these retailers in as "stores-within-a-store." The single most important thing that J.C. Penney can do right now, in my opinion, is focus on who their target audience really is. They have indicated they intend to appeal to a younger, hipper demographic. In theory, it's exactly what J.C. Penney should be doing. I've always thought their audience is the same as Macy's and Kohl's, two stores, by the way, who have been good at engaging the younger customer and who also announced better-than-expected second quarter earnings.
It makes sense to me that a store that has traditionally skewed older wants to appeal to a younger demographic; after all, it's a generation with spending power. It does feel to me, though, as if J.C. Penney is flailing around somewhat and trying to find their way while also trying to keep consumers interested during such a pivotal time — and that is a worrisome place for any retailer to be right now.
The first round of stores-within-a-store set to open in September includes names like Sephora, Mango (MNG), Martha Stewart, Izod, Carter's, Maidenform, Vanity Fair, Liz Claiborne, Arizona, i Jeans by Buffalo and Levi's. While a couple of those are not bad (MNG is definitely a hot brand), the overall "young and hip" impact strikes me as minimal. No one is going to mistake Martha Stewart for youthful and fresh anytime soon. That said, I don't think all hope is lost — yet. While this first wave of new in-store brands is conspicuously lacking in fresh, young, hip names, the brands and designers they've mentioned for the second wave of in-store offerings slated for rollout in 2013, appear to be more interesting and appealing to that younger, hipper consumer. Included among the 40 shops that will come out next year are brands like Joe Fresh, Giggle, Cynthia Rowley, Michael Graves and Jonathan Adler.
The bottom line is that J.C. Penney is a big institution and an iconic brand; and, like any big ship, it will take some time to execute such a hard turn. Not only does it take time, of course, but a lot of money and hard work to make a change of this magnitude work. And there will likely be more painful quarters along the way. I worry that, if it takes too long and they experience several more quarters of loss, they may not be able to survive. I think the success of the new brands will be key to their survival, and so they will need to be proactive and aggressive in marketing those brands. While there is hope, I suspect that they will ultimately have to close some stores and reposition their real estate portfolio. But if they can consolidate and hold on to the best real estate for the next two to three years, J.C Penney just might be that revitalized brand Johnson is trying to create.
While the strategy might be inconsistent and a bit cumbersome to navigate, at least J.C. Penney is trying something different. Best Buy, on the other hand, seems to be teetering on the edge, and without some major changes soon, could be the category killer that killed itself. You've heard me say it before, but I'll say it again: Best Buy Mobile has done well. And, while there has been some inventory repositioning, there are basically no indicators that the electronics retailer can survive long term with its current setup. They are saddled with large amounts of brick and mortar, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Just this week, they finally concluded their talks with co-founder Richard Schulze and rejected his offer to take them private, instead opting to hire Hubert Joly, turnaround expert and former head of global hospitality company Carlson, as their new CEO. Joly has a track record of successful turnarounds and growth in the media, technology and service sectors, but does not have experience in retail. It will be interesting to see what he can do for Best Buy.
I'll continue to revisit J.C. Penney and Best Buy in future columns as more details of their long-term strategies emerge. Until then, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the troubles faced by these two retailers.
What do you think? Can J.C. Penney get back on track? Will Best Buy be able to do what it takes to reposition and survive? Please make a public comment below or feel free to e-mail me privately at email@example.com.

This is a piece my late husband picked up years ago. We just recently put it back together. I don't know all of the details about it. It has so much room for storage, but I cannot find the manufacturer's name anywhere on it. It doesn't match my decor, but I hear they are very popular again. I'm trying to find out more about it.

On Monday, we concluded our entry period for the first TESting Your Knowledge trivia question. To recap, here's the question:
After Talos acquired and powered the Numidium, the mage Zurin Arctus supposedly became known as the Underking. However, records make mention of another Underking, long before Arctus' time. What was this Underking's name at the end of the Second Era?
Because this was the first question, we decided to accept two answers: Ysmir Kingmaker and King Wulfharth — because they're one and the same. An ancient king of Skyrim, he was in fact called Ysmir Kingmaker at the end of the Second Era, but could still be referred to as King Wulfharth.
We had many folks email in one answer or the other (and both), but there could only be one winner. Congrats to Christopher Perdue of Dallas, GA on winning a signed copy of The Infernal City.

What are economic data telling us now? Should we be concerned that the ISM Manufacturing Index fell below the 50 line, which demarcates expansion from contraction? Or should we be encouraged that the much larger services sector, measured by the ISM Non-Manufacturing Index, rose and is generally in an expansionary phase? Should we fret that the ADP Employment Report this morning showed only 118,000 new jobs created, below analysts' expectations and hopes?
The data relate to each other, through these and other economic reports. First, Hurricane Sandy was a factor. We do see that the ADP report includes Mark Zandi of Moody's Economy.com as saying, "Superstorm Sandy wreaked havoc on the job market in November, slicing an estimated 86,000 jobs from payrolls. The manufacturing, retailing, leisure and hospitality, and temporary help industries were hit particularly hard by the storm. Abstracting from the storm, the job market turned in a good performance during the month."
But weaker hiring might really not be all related to the storm. We see from data from the Institute for Supply Management this morning that the headline advanced 0.5 points to 54.7 in November, but some of the details were even stronger. Overall activity surged by 5.8 points to 61.2 -- a rather strong read -- and new orders climbed by 3.3 points to 58.1. That's good, and it doesn't seem, from this data at least, that Sandy caused extensive damage to nationwide economic activity (though perhaps the report would have been even stronger without the storm).
However, hiring fell 4.6 points to 50.3. That's barely positive, and that's not good. Businesses have seen their orders and output increase but don't seem to be adding much staff. Why? Well, we also see from today's Productivity and Costs report that companies are able to expand output without expanding staffing levels. In fact, labor productivity -- often derived from large-scale technology introductions that bear little relation to how many widgets a single worker produces -- increased by an annualized 2.9% in the third quarter.
That means that companies don't need to add to staff. Output, according to the Productivity and Costs report (not the same as GDP, by the way), increased by 4.2% in the third quarter, but companies only needed to increase hours worked by 1.3%. So it shouldn't be any surprise that we can have a rather strong services-sector report coupled with merely tepid hiring, according to the ADP report, storm or no storm.
Separately, we also learn from the ISM Non-Manufacturing Report that respondents to the survey, including wholesalers and retailers, see their inventories as "too high." When these companies have enough stock on hand, they naturally order less from manufacturers. Add in worries about the fiscal cliff, cited in the report, and you have even more reason to expect some softness in this particular data series.
And that, in part, is why the ISM Manufacturing Report showed a slight contraction, with the headline falling 2.2 points to 49.7, where readings above 50 indicate expansion. This was the lowest reading in the index since July 2009, a month after we emerged from recession. The report's employment metric in particular fell 3.7 points to 48.4, showing that manufacturers are cutting staff.
Companies' comments in their responses to the twin ISM surveys showed that service-sector companies, while perhaps not enthusiastic, did at least show "cautious optimism," and some reported increased sales and activity. Then, on balance, you have manufacturers, which were a bit more downbeat in their comments and saw a "slowdown in demand." Worries about the fiscal cliff were more apparent in manufacturers' views than in those of non-manufacturers.
In the end, what we see are mixed signs of economic growth. Besides the storm, much of it relates, apparently, to the inventory cycle. After all, we saw in the third-quarter GDP report that inventory accumulation added a whopping 0.77 percentage point to third-quarter GDP. And in today's factory orders report, manufacturers' inventories are at the highest level since at least 1992. More inventories equals less need to produce more. No wonder manufacturing is seeing more signs of softness than service-sector companies are.

Chobani's worst case scenario literally exploded earlier this month after the company voluntarily recalled some of its Greek yogurt products on reports of containers bulging and bursting. At least 223 people have reported illnesses related to the mold tainted product as of Sept. 17, though food experts question whether the mold at the center of the recall is the culprit.
Peter McGuinness, Chobani's chief of marketing and branding, points to Chobani's crisis response as a reflection of the company's messaging, rooted in being approached, accessible and conversation, according to DigiDay.com.
"Look, if people aren't happy, you have to be accessible and approachable and conversational and treat them like humans," McGuinness said. "If you're not happy, let us know. We care you care enough to tell us you're not happy with us. We take it personally. We'll communicate with you in an approachable, accessible, conversational kind of way as a friend, as a fan, as a human, not as a big company. That's what we tried to do."
Chobani attempted to continue this message through a personal message from CEO and founder Hamdi Ulukaya.
"While this type of mold is common in the dairy environment, particularly when using only natural ingredients that are absent of artificial preservatives, it's still unacceptable to me and all of our yogurt makers," Ulukaya said in a letter to customers.
"I'm sorry we let you down," he added.
Though the company is making attempts to reconnect with consumers and reiterate their brand's messaging, Chobani decided against using social media as customer service tools and continues to remain silent on both Twitter and Facebook. Instead, consumers are directed to Chobani's blog for live updates.
"To my mind, keeping quiet until the problem is solved suggests the brand is trying to show they're making this issue their top priority," said Thomas Siebert, vice president of communications at Digitaria, a JWT company. "I'm sure they will have their critics about responding too late to the spoilage, but I think they're showing the proper amount of gravitas and focus on the social media outlets."

Whether working with graphic codes or digital codes, plastic arts or music, Laurent's approach is one of research, specifically having to do with people's perception of signs and symbols. As a multi-media artist, he has always been open to new technologies, whether he is composing musical works or creating graphic works. During the 90s, he reached a landmark with his inter-disciplinary work via shows in France and Germany, by designing complex pieces that mixed various advanced techniques. His paintings, the illusion of calligraphies on monochromic funds, pose a question about the relationship between signs and meanings." – minimalwave.com

Love Your Garden presenter Frances Tophill inspired residents last Wednesday with her botanical talk.
The ITV presenter gave out practical advice, ideas and tips to help maintain a healthy garden.
She said: "I think everyone should garden. People who are not as able can just potter or sit in the sun and children love it too. Everyone can benefit.
"I am hoping to make peoples' lives easier and give them ideas they can apply when choosing plants for their garden."
Guests and members of the community came for the talk and home manager, Selvie Naidoo, said: "We always encourage residents to go outside.
"The talk was fantastic because it is a chance for people to network. This care home caters for the community and we are here to support them."

I really like DJ. I mainly love his EMOTION in the game. Me and the girlfriend were almost courtside at the T-Wolves game this season when Dahntay went nuts and his emotion just made smile and get cold chills. I really love the emotion he shows in the game, but I'm very passionate about the game, so when players show thier passion I love it.
I also love his cheerleading on the bench, lol. I would keep him with a reasonable contract.
Follow me at @Bluejbgold
It boggles my mind, that this guy would not be considered the ultimate teammate, the kind of role player every team wants.
He is always cheering on the sidelines, always ready to play regardless of the circumstance, always playing at a high level of intensity, always communicating with his teammates.
The guy always plays hard on the defensive end, if he gets his offensive game going his defense suddenly becomes incredible. Sometimes he calls his own number too much, but at least he displays confidence while doing so. He never hesitates, he knows what he wants to do...regarldess of the end result.
I hope we keep him around, I think hes more valuable to this team than we all realize. if you take away his passion and intensity...I think everyone suffers from it.
Problem for Dahntay, is we don't have enough minutes to go around. I think Vogel handled playing time in the playoffs perfectly...I'm amazed to be saying that.
*removed* Just keep politics and religion completely out of it, please.
Sometimes people don't want to hear the painful truth. If that's what Dahntay's saying in the locker room, I'm even more in his corner.
If he's the guy that says Lance Stephenson is a problem and it's ludicrous that he's getting playing time -- and that's just a made-up plausible example -- who here doesn't want that kind of voice in the locker room?
If he's the guy that has no problem telling the coach and management that some teammates aren't busting hump, who here doesn't want that voice?
If it's something other than that, it's a different story. I have no way of knowing.
But from the vibes Dahntay puts out, and his history (Duke?!), I'm thinking what he's saying is OK by me.
What's he going to do, tell Carmelo Anthony he's taking bad shots? He's Carmelo Anthony. There aren't many bad shots.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think the reason this stuff doesn't surface in Denver is simple. The Nuggets have a good, experienced coach. Back then, they had a good, talented team (and still do, to a point).
There was simply less to get frustrated about on a veteran ball club.
Who can we find cheaper and will do equal to or better than Jones? Please don't give me trade ideas that involves trying to get someone else's "young" or "high risk" player...

- Statistical RNA Secondary Structure Sampling Based on a Length-Dependent SCFG Model (2012)
- One of the fundamental problems in computational structural biology is the prediction of RNA secondary structures from a single sequence. To solve this problem, mainly two different approaches have been used over the past decades: the free energy minimization (MFE) approach which is still considered the most popular and successful method and the competing stochastic context-free grammar (SCFG) approach. While the accuracy of the MFE based algorithms is limited by the quality of underlying thermodynamic models, the SCFG method abstracts from free energies and instead tries to learn about the structural behavior of the molecules by training the grammars on known real RNA structures, making it highly dependent on the availability of a rich high quality training set. However, due to the respective problems associated with both methods, new statistics based approaches towards RNA structure prediction have become increasingly appreciated. For instance, over the last years, several statistical sampling methods and clustering techniques have been invented that are based on the computation of partition functions (PFs) and base pair probabilities according to thermodynamic models. A corresponding SCFG based statistical sampling algorithm for RNA secondary structures has been studied just recently. Notably, this probabilistic method is capable of producing accurate (prediction) results, where its worst-case time and space requirements are equal to those of common RNA folding algorithms for single sequences. The aim of this work is to present a comprehensive study on how enriching the underlying SCFG by additional information on the lengths of generated substructures (i.e. by incorporating length-dependencies into the SCFG based sampling algorithm, which is actually possible without significant losses in performance) affects the reliability of the induced RNA model and the accuracy of sampled secondary structures. As we will see, significant differences with respect to the overall quality of generated sample sets and the resulting predictive accuracy are typically implied. In principle, when considering the more specialized length-dependent SCFG model as basis for statistical sampling, a higher accuracy of predicted foldings can be reached at the price of a lower diversity of generated candidate structures (compared to the more general traditional SCFG variant or sampling based on PFs that rely on free energies).
- Translating SHIM to Guarded Actions (2012)
- SHIM is a concurrent deterministic programming language for embedded systems built on rendezvous communication. It abstracts away many details to give the developer a high-level view that includes virtual shared variables, threads as orthogonal statements, and deterministic concurrent exceptions. In this paper, we present a new way to compile a SHIM-like language into a set of asynchronous guarded actions, a well-established intermediate representation for concurrent systems. By doing so, we build a bridge to many other tools, including hardware synthesis and formal verification. We present our translation in detail, illustrate it through examples, and show how the result can be used by various other tools.
- Separate Translation of Synchronous Programs to Guarded Actions (2011)
- This report gives an overview of the separate translation of synchronous imperative programs to synchronous guarded actions. In particular, we consider problems to be solved for separate compilation that stem from preemption statements and local variable declarations. We explain how we solved these problems and sketch our solutions implemented in the our Averest framework to implement a compiler that allows a separate compilation of imperative synchronous programs with local variables and unrestricted preemption statements. The focus of the report is the big picture of our entire design flow.
- Non Uniform Generation of Combinatorial Objects (2010)
- In this article we present a method to generate random objects from a large variety of combinatorial classes according to a given distribution. Given a description of the combinatorial class and a set of sample data our method will provide an algorithm that generates objects of size n in worst-case runtime O(n^2) (O(n log(n)) can be achieved at the cost of a higher average-case runtime), with the generated objects following a distribution that closely matches the distribution of the sample data.
- Evaluation eines Verschmelzungsalgorithmus für Lösungen des Handlungsreisendenproblems (2005)
- Das Handlungsreisendenproblem ist eines der bekanntesten NP-vollständigen kombinatorischen Optimierungsprobleme. Algorithmen mit unterschiedlichen Konzepten und Strategien wurden entwickelt, die sich in Lösungsqualität und Laufzeit unterscheiden. Ein vergleichsweise neuer Ansatz stellt jedoch das Kombinieren vorhandener Lösungen dar. Hier werden die Kantenmengen gegebener Handlungsreisendertouren als Ausgangsbasis für weitere Optimierungen verwendet. Erste Veröffentlichungen zu diesem Gebiet stellen bereits vielversprechende Ergebnisse vor, die nachfolgend vertieft evaluiert werden.
- Embedding a Chained Lin-Kernighan Algorithm into a Distributed Algorithm (2004)
- The Chained Lin-Kernighan algorithm (CLK) is one of the best heuristics to solve Traveling Salesman Problems (TSP). In this paper a distributed algorithm is proposed, were nodes in a network locally optimize TSP instances by using the CLK algorithm. Within an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) network-based framework the resulting tours are modified and exchanged with neighboring nodes. We show that the distributed variant finds better tours compared to the original CLK given the same amount of computation time. For instance fl3795, the original CLK got stuck in local optima in each of 10 runs, whereas the distributed algorithm found optimal tours in each run requiring less than 10 CPU minutes per node on average in an 8 node setup. For instance sw24978, the distributed algorithm had an average solution quality of 0.050% above the optimum, compared to CLK's average solution of 0.119% above the optimum given the same total CPU time (104 seconds). Considering the best tours of both variants for this instance, the distributed algorithm is 0.033% above the optimum and the CLK algorithm 0.099%.
- ChordNet: Protocol Specification and Analysis (2009)
- This work specifies and analyzes the ChordNet protocol. ChordNet is able to connect huge numbers of nodes in an efficient peer-to-peer network.
- QoS Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks - A Survey (2007)
- The provision of quality-of-service (QoS) on the network layer is a major challenge in communication networks. This applies particularly to mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) in the area of Ambient Intelligence (AmI), especially with the increasing use of delay and bandwidth sensitive applications. The focus of this survey lies on the classification and analysis of selected QoS routing protocols in the domain of mobile ad-hoc networks. Each protocol is briefly described and assessed, and the results are summarized in multiple tables.
- On the Expected Free Energy of RNA Molecules (2008)
- This article focuses on the analytical analysis of the free energy in a realistic model for RNA secondary structures. In fact, the free energy in a stochastic model derived from a database of small and large subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU and LSU rRNA) data is studied. A common thermody-namic model for computing the free energy of a given RNA secondary structure, as well as stochastic context-free grammars and generating functions are used to derive the desired results. These results include asymptotics for the expected free energy and for the corresponding variance of a random RNA secondary structure. The quality of our model is judged by comparing the derived results to the used database of SSU and LSU rRNA data. At the end of this article, it is discussed how our results could be used to help on identifying good predictions of RNA secondary structure.

Fantastic News!
Thanks for the heads-up, and of course, for all the hard work. Personally, I cannot wait to see what you have cooked up in BT4.
Now, where'd I put those blank CDROMs ... ?
Hi All,
Max, Martin and I, together with renewed forces - jabra, barbsie and netroller3D - have finally come to the point where we can call BackTrack 4 a "beta".
We have worked very hard on this release, with the kind help of remote-exploit members and the community at large. We honestly believe that this release is the best we've ever had, but then, we say that on every new release.
You can see some preliminary information about backtrack 4 at the following blog, at least until our own wiki and trac are ready to take on the public.
There will be an initial pre-release in Shmoocon 2009, and then a public beta once Shmoo is over. Hang in there!
We will soon open a new forum for BT4 beta, where members can post questions and useful information. We hope that this new release brings in new positive spirits to the forums.
Muts, Max, Martin, and the RE crew.
Fantastic News!
Thanks for the heads-up, and of course, for all the hard work. Personally, I cannot wait to see what you have cooked up in BT4.
Now, where'd I put those blank CDROMs ... ?
Can't wait, I have been following the blog, I love you guys.
I guess Barry is going to be at Shmoocon also, I wish I could make it, but damn CIS classes-they are fun though, but nothing like linux.
me ruv u rong time muts :P
cant wait for this release.
as always thanks alot for all the hard work you guys put into this. its really appreciated
Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious...
This is the best news i've herd since the birth of my beautiful little girl, Yes it REALLY is that good.
My main goal in life is to end up as a grade a network engineer, And with everything i have learnt so far from the outstanding ppl of the Backtrack community, i hope to further improve and develope my skills.
It has taken me a little longer thean most only started in linux distros in october last year, but have already had so much valid input from everyone in here, I can't wait to have an updateable distro ( Nice and user friendly ), But have much enjoyed the steep learning curve that BT3 has to offer.
Just a great big thanks to Muts and everyone else who has sparked my enthusiasm in linux and in security testing.
Love to all who have made this possible.
i cant believe it has been released............
OMGSH I cannot wait for the new updater feature! I have mainly used BT built onto the HD and I've just updated everything manually, no problem, but with it coming with that by default
Pentesting into the Future!
On the blog it says that you will be having a closed released on shmoocon. what you mean with closed? do any attendees to shmoocon will be able to get their hands on the beta? or it is just a small group on shmoocon?

A TRIALS biking legend from Silsden staged his annual 'skills school' at the weekend.
And pupils included none other than award-winning Geordie stand-up comedian, Ross Noble.
Twelve-times world champion trials rider Dougie Lampkin said it was the second time the popular comic had attended the event.
"I've known Ross for a few years and he loves doing a bit of trials riding when time allows," said Mr Lampkin, 38, who has stepped down from world championship racing but still competes in classics.
"He doesn't have a lot of spare time because of his touring and other commitments, but he came to the school a couple of years ago and was keen to return.
"Ross spent the weekend with us and loved it. If the event had gone on for a week he would have been there for the duration!"
In a twitter message to the Keighley News, Mr Noble paid tribute to the trials biking supremo.
"I love riding motorcycles – especially off-road – and trials is by far the most difficult because you have to be so precise," he said.
"Dougie is a legend and at the same time the most down to earth, lovely bloke.
"There are not many sports where you can get coaching from the best in the world."
Mr Lampkin started his trials school, at Addingham Moorside, 16 years ago.
Thirty riders take part on each day.
"We cater for people of all abilities and ages – at the weekend the youngest was six and oldest 68!" he said.
"The aim is to work on improving individuals' skills."
Mr Lampkin, who received the MBE in 2000 for services to the sport, has over the years notched-up seven outdoor and five indoor world titles.
Although no longer competing internationally, he is still achieving considerable success.
Earlier this year he won the Scottish Six-Day Trial for a record eighth time, 20 years after he first triumphed.
And he is working on developing a new bike with a Spanish company, Vertigo.


text: Report details MSHA lapses prior to disaster By Ken Ward Jr. March 2, 2011 Story Share Read the report here.CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Federal mine safety regulators quietly warned lawmakers just two weeks before the Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster about serious enforcement lapses, including incomplete inspections and inadequate enforcement actions, according to a previously unpublished report to Congress.On March 25, 2010, the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration submitted a mandated report to the Senate Appropriations Committee on the activities of MSHA's internal Office of Accountability.Over the previous two years, according to the report, MSHA auditors from the agency's accountability office found: Inspectors in 20 of 25 field offices reviewed did not properly evaluate the gravity and negligence of mine operator safety and health violations. Supervisors in 21 of those 25 field offices did not perform in-depth reviews to ensure that inspectors took appropriate enforcement actions in accordance with MSHA policies. MSHA officials in 15 of the 25 field offices audited did not adequately document inspections so that any enforcement actions taken would stand up in court. Inspectors in four of the field offices did not complete mandatory spot inspections for mines that generated large amounts of explosive methane gas. At an unspecified number of field offices, there was a "lack of comprehensive inspections of all areas of the mining operation" and inappropriate "levels of enforcement issuances." The findings mirror those of numerous MSHA internal reviews conducted after major mining disasters over the last 20 years, as well as repeated criticism from the Labor Department Inspector General and the U.S. Governmental Accountability Office. MSHA said in the report that the accountability office reviews focused on field offices where agency officials believed there were existing problems. "Therefore, MSHA does not believe that these findings are an indication of a systematic problem across the 92 field offices" but "an expected result of successful targeting of audits to potential problem areas," the report said.The MSHA report -- just five pages long -- did not list the field offices that were audited or those where problems were found. And MSHA does not post individual audit reports by the accountability office on its website.In response to a Gazette request for the individual audits, MSHA said it would take more than 30 days to provide them because agency officials would "need to consult with two or more agency components" to gather the material.MSHA officials also refused to release a copy of their report to the Senate Appropriations Committee, saying the document could only be made public by Congress.Then-MSHA chief Richard Stickler created the accountability office in June 2007, in response to scathing internal reviews about MSHA's performance prior to disasters the previous year at the Sago, Aracoma and Darby mines. The Labor Department IG had also harshly criticized MSHA for its lack of a robust internal accountability program.Two years ago, in response to a Gazette public records request, MSHA provided copies of the first three audits conducted by the accountability office. The reports, examining inspections of specific mines in Kentucky, Illinois and Ohio, found problems similar to those documented in the March 2010 report to Congress. The report from Kentucky examined MSHA's performance inspecting Alliance Resource's Dotiki Mine in Hopkins County, Ky.That Dotiki audit, conducted in mid-February 2008, was to focus on a "high incidence" of roof falls and injuries related to mine roof problems. There had been a dozen roof falls at the operation in the three months prior to the audit.MSHA auditors reported that the mine operator had been "proactive" in dealing with roof-related accidents. But in examining the performance of MSHA inspectors, agency auditor concluded that "the level of enforcement and determination of negligence do not appear consistent with the nature and number of violations cited. While the number of violations was climbing, there was no increase in the level of enforcement, auditors found."The audit team recommends the district consider an increased level of enforcement regarding repetitive violations," the audit report said.Over the next two years, MSHA records document at least 50 roof falls at Dotiki, including one on April 28, 2010, that killed miners Michael W. Carter and Justin W. Travis.Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, quizzed MSHA officials about the accountability office in follow-up inquiries made in writing after a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing on May 20, 2010, six weeks after 29 miners died in the explosion at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch Mine. Harkin's questions and MSHA's answers were only recently made public, when a full transcript of the hearing was published earlier this year.In response to a request for a general update on the office's work, MSHA referred Harkin to the report agency officials had already provided to the committee back on March 25, 2010.MSHA said in the report that the office had conducted 24 audits in 2009 and had completed six so far in 2010. MSHA said it planned to spend $600,000 on the office during the 2010 budget year, but was "currently evaluating the restructuring" of the office "to assure that targeted areas are effectively audited."In its budget proposal to Congress, made public on Feb. 14, the Labor Department did not outline any new plans for the MSHA accountability office. On Wednesday, MSHA officials declined to respond to questions about future plans for the accountability office.Reach Ken Ward Jr. at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1702.

The thorny issue of taking holidays in term time has recently been raised in Parliament again.
MP Justin Tomlinson, of North Swindon, was gathering parents' views across social media before taking part in the debate which was triggered by an e-petition which reached the threshold of more than 100,000 signatures.
The debate showed the confusion and piecemeal approach of schools under rules which state children can only be absent from school in term time in 'exceptional circumstances'.
MPs had examples of parents who were refused permission to attend family funerals, or take holidays where parents were unable to take time off during a holiday period. Mr Tomlinson said: "A lot of parents have contacted me to say, 'we have triggered fines'."
At one school that has made the new rules clear, the chair of governors said, "Actually, there is discretion. We will look at those parents whose children have excellent attendance records and are achieving well and we will look at why they might be taken out of school, for a funeral, say, compared to a holiday without educational benefits, and it would be weighed up."
He also raised the issue of 'unfair' price increases put in place by some holiday operators during school holidays and pointed to schemes in some European countries, such as Germany, where school holidays across regions are staggered in order to spread demand.
One of the major concerns for schools, he said was Ofsted apparently marking a school down if absence rates were high or rising.
He said: "There is the assumption that there is pressure from Ofsted because it looks at attendance records when rating a school. If a school decides to say that, because of cost and work pressures, it will allow a good level of discretion, its attendance records do not look good. That also needs to be considered, because that would be a disincentive for a school to apply common sense discretion."
The Minister who attended the debate from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Skills, Jenny Willott, said there would be no intervention in the tourist and travel industry to influence pricing; the government has not said absence isn't possible and from 2015 all schools would have the power to set term dates locally.

Lohse's strong start undone as Brewers fall to Rays
Righty cruises into sixth before walks, Loney's clutch hit turn game
ST. PETERSBURG -- More on the close call that conspired against Kyle Lohse in a moment. The more pressing matter following a 2-1 loss to the Rays on Monday was the fact the Brewers' off-and-on offense has turned off again.
Milwaukee was limited to three hits by former Brewers farmhand Jake Odorizzi and two Rays relievers, who combined to strike out 10 batters, including five of the final six. Over the past four games, the Brewers are 1-3 while scoring eight total runs, batting .165 and striking out 36 times.
Just like the switch flipped on after the All-Star break, now it's been flipped off again.
"That's baseball," said Brewers first baseman Mark Reynolds, a bright spot of late who supplied his team's only run Monday with a third-inning homer. "You've got the hot streaks, cold streaks, and the good teams find some consistency in-between. We're just not swinging well right now. This time next week, we might be talking about how hot we are. You never know."
Overall, the Brewers still rank second in the National League in runs scored, trailing only the Rockies. They have been held to fewer than three runs 32 times in 107 games, tied with the Dodgers for second fewest such low-scoring games among NL clubs.
Brief offensive outages, Reynolds argued, happen to "every team."
"Look at the Rays," he said. "They had, like, the worst record in the league. ... It just takes some guys getting confident and back in the swing of things."
James Loney supplied the decisive swing this time for the Rays, who rode his two-run single in the sixth inning to their 10th victory in 11 games. They were 18 games under .500 through June 10, but have gone 28-12 since then to pull back to within two games of.500 and into the American League Wild Card hunt.
The Brewers, meanwhile, still lead the NL Central but dropped one-half game closer to the idle Cardinals, who are 1 1/2 games back.
"It's tough when you are not consistent scoring runs," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "When we come up against real good pitching, we realize we are not going to score a lot of runs. But I still think we have enough guys -- we should be able to scratch out more than three hits and more than one run."
The man most responsible for preventing them from doing so was Odorizzi, who limited the team that drafted him in 2008 and traded him in 2010 to one run on three hits in seven innings, the only notable mistake a fastball on the inner half of the plate that Reynolds hit for a third-inning home run.
It was Reynolds' fourth home run in the span of 14 at-bats. He'd hit only one home run in his previous 106 at-bats.
Lohse, meanwhile, was enjoying one of his good nights. He allowed only one baserunner through three innings, and didn't allow a hit until Ben Zobrist singled leading off the fourth.
In the fifth, the Brewers' defense helped out with a special play to retire Logan Forsythe, who'd blooped a leadoff double over first base. Reynolds quickly returned the baseball to the infield, where shortstop Jean Segura fielded it barehanded on a hop and sent it to third baseman Aramis Ramirez, who tagged out the runner. Lohse finished that inning without incident.
But in the sixth inning, Lohse's 1-0 lead slipped away in a most frustrating fashion.
He walked Zobrist with two outs before left-handed-hitting Matt Joyce beat the Brewers' infield shift with a single to left field that put runners at the corners. Up next was Evan Longoria, who looked at a full-count changeup that straddled the inside portion of the strikezone. Lohse and catcher Jonathan Lucroy were sure it was strike three, opinions that were solidified later in the video room.
When home-plate umpire Bob Davidson called ball four, Lohse covered his mouth with his glove to keep his reaction private. Loney followed by hitting an 0-1 fastball for a bloop single that accounted for the game's two decisive runs.
"It's just frustrating," said Lohse, who took the loss after allowing two runs on four hits in six innings. "I felt like I threw the ball really well, made some good pitches. It was a tough one. Leave it at that."
Naturally, a different view pervaded the other clubhouse.
"I don't know exactly where the pitch was. I've heard from some guys it was a ball," said Longoria. "And then Loney coming through like he did. Games like this normally hang on a particular moment."
The Brewers will try to flip the switch again on Tuesday against tough Rays right-hander Alex Cobb. Then it's left-handed ace David Price on Wednesday, assuming this week's non-waiver Trade Deadline doesn't get in the way.
"We know we're in for a battle and it's not going to get easier," Lohse said. "I think we've proven that we're never out of a game and we're going to battle to the end."

Lulz, you went there with the Cheetahs!
The Destroyer is great. I suggest getting an Eagle X mold, keeping the Roc, and getting a Wizard or Warlock putter.
Anyway, he said he had a Roc and an Aviar, I suggested a more stable putter on DGCR as well. From what they said his accuracy isn't all that bad, but who can't use more accuracy?!?!?! I was going to post these last night, but got sleepy and didn't feel like getting back up to post the links to the threads. Anyway, here are some links to get you started.
The Technique section can be found on the board index.
Technique primer, large collection of vids, and other topics on technique.
About throwing nose down and how getting your weight forward helps. Which I noticed I think you could possibly use some more weight forward.
Off the main site, gives a run down of some articles around the net, and some written by Blake.
There are more, but that is a lot and I'm sure you'll find other stuff a long the way. It's actually kind of hard to find specific articles just pertaining to a specific idea. As they all sort of mix and mingle. But, try not to get caught up on too many of the long winded discussions. You have a lot of what this site discusses, you need some of the more basics about keeping your pull tight, pulling on plane, trying to keep the nose down. Using a little less run up, and keeping it smoother, as well as clean finish with weight forward and nice pivot.

Every little bit helps. The shorthand Clips had to play OT to beat the King. All their starters played at least 37 minutes. While none of ours did. Lance was closest with 36 minutes.
Not to mention their game ended what 4 hours after ours. Like I said every little bit helps.
Lets get the road trip started on the right track.
