By Chris McCall, VP of Marketing, NexGen Storage
Last week I had the opportunity to meet with a customer who is considering deploying a virtual infrastructure. Their existing deployment consists of high-performance servers connected to direct-attached storage (DAS). Ensuring adequate application performance has always been the key driving factor for their infrastructure strategy, but with 26 servers and more coming online this year, footprint, power and cooling are becoming huge issues.
Enter server virtualization. The space, power, and cooling savings are obvious, so I asked the customer why they hadn't done it sooner. His response was simple: "Performance."
Consolidating multiple applications on a shared storage system meant that each application's workload would impact every other application's workload. Application performance needs could change at a moment's notice, resulting in unpredictability and chaos. The existing DAS implementation avoids this mess by dedicating storage resources to one, and only one, application. So while DAS addressed the customer's performance concerns, the challenge of managing upwards to 30 servers with individual storage is pushing them to a virtual infrastructure with shared storage.

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin announced Thursday that rookie Le'Veon Bell will get early action in Saturday's preseason game against New York Giants.
The move did not come as a surprise.
MORE: Training camp battles | Steelers turning to rookies right away | Preseason game point spreads
While the Steelers have been slow over the years to insert rookies into the starting lineup, every indication was that Bell and possibly linebacker Jarvis Jones would get a shot this year.
"How he's run the ball speaks for itself," Tomlin said, according to NFL.com.
Bell getting the nod is not the news Jonathan Dwyer hoped to hear. Dwyer led the team with 623 rushing yards last season, but now is just trying to keep a spot on the team while in a three-way tussle with Bell and Isaac Redman.
Dwyer lost 30 pounds this offseason and says he feels quicker, but he still has a fight ahead for the No. 1 job.
It doesn't appear the job will be shared, at any rate. Steelers running backs coach Kirby Wilson said he's not interested in a running back-by-committee approach.
"You would love to have a back who can play first down through third down," Wilson said to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

I've thought about this, as well. And it's probably at least partly true. But I can't help it, I'm a thinker. But I do need to learn how to find that Zen-like place for putting, I'm certain of that. I'll get there.
The most intense advice I ever heard was from Dave Greenwell, who said you should spend more time practicing putting than you do playing rounds. That's commitment!
Anyways, I know this is a slump. But it sucks. I hate slumps! Thanks to all for chiming in, and reminding me of the important lessons I tend to forget with time...

Violent storms tearing across Wiltshire last night resulted in a brick wall collapsing onto two vehicles owned by Warminster man David Dutchman.
Mr Dutchman, 44, who lives in Woodcock Road with his wife and four children, was astonished when he was alerted by neighbours at 10pm that the wall had been blown over by the winds.
One of the vehicles, a Vauxhall van, had only been purchased by Mr Dutchman two months previously to use for his job running Socket to 'em electrical services.
He says that because the wall, which was situated at the back of the property in Downs View Road, was owned by a housing association that no longer exists, he has to go through insurance for repairs.
Mr Dutchman said: "It was a big surprise when we realised what had happened, especially as I had only recently bought the van and got it insured.
"It is a pain, but I'm trying to look on the positive side and it's good that no one was there when it was blown over as it could have seriously injured or killed someone like a child if it had fallen on them.
"Wiltshire Council came out to look at it, but they said it isn't anything to do with them, so if they don't remove it I will probably have to hire out a skip clear it myself.
"I will have to work a bit harder to make up for the time and money I've lost as a result, but worst things could have happened. It must have been some gust of wind, though, as that wall was there before we moved in 16 years ago."
The other family vehicle, a Chrysler Voyager, was also damaged when the wall collapsed.
Last night's high winds also resulted in a 12-foot trampoline being blown onto the road between Westbury View and Queensway in Melksham at 10.50pm.

The New Indian Politics: No Slowdown, No Panic
Op-ed in the Financial Times
© Financial Times
The Indian government's recent reforms to reduce government subsidies and embrace greater foreign direct investment were unexpected and bold. Markets have rewarded them with surging stock prices and a rebound in the value of the rupee. The reforms may yet be reversed or diluted because of the political backlash. Their impact may be more symbolic than substantive. Nevertheless, they are significant in that they reflect changes in the operating assumptions of Indian politics.
For a long time, maximizing electoral success required politicians to act as if there were a ceiling of about 5 percent on inflation and virtually no ceiling on fiscal populism. The new operating assumptions all center on growth.
It is striking that India's economy has experienced close to double-digit inflation for more than three years, among the highest in the world, and twice as high as politics was thought to permit. Remarkably, there has been no domestic uproar. This growing indifference to high inflation seems to be the result of the rise in real incomes that has accompanied high growth. Even in rural India, wages have been rising much more rapidly than inflation thanks to government policies, including an extensive employment guarantee scheme. Moreover, a shrinking public sector means that fewer people earn the fixed incomes most vulnerable to being eroded by high inflation.
In other words, it is growth and real incomes that are increasingly important for the government and economy to deliver. Even after the global crisis of 2008, India's growth appeared to be cruising at about 8 percent. In these circumstances, the government did not feel obliged to undertake growth-enhancing reforms. Nor was there any serious attempt to squeeze double-digit inflation out of the system—for fear that growth, which voters had come to take for granted, would suffer.
But when growth recently began to fall below 5 to 6 percent and, critically, when this deceleration began to seem more permanent, panic galvanized policymakers into action. Their resolve was strengthened by the threat of downgrading by the rating agencies, which would have further undermined investor confidence and growth. Reform was made easier by the replacement of Pranab Mukherjee, an elderly Congress apparatchik, with Palaniappan Chidambaram, a decisive reformist, as minister of finance. And while the monetary authorities did not cut interest rates to boost growth further, their inaction, given the acceleration in inflation, amounted to loosening.
If politicians are now more concerned to maintain high growth than to avoid high inflation, what about fiscal populism? Since the current government came to power in 2004, it has presided over a steady expansion in social expenditure, comprising employment guarantee schemes, subsidies for fuel, fertilizer, food, and power, and increases in the prices paid to farmers for key commodities. Real government expenditure per capita has doubled during the past decade.
This expansion was helped by rapid growth, which seemed to provide inexhaustible resources to finance expenditure. Moreover, the surprising victory in the 2009 elections confirmed for the Congress party its view that lavish spending also delivered electoral success. High inflation was a side effect that was overlooked as long as high growth was assured.
But as growth headed south, high government expenditure has become a problem, feeding investors' negative perceptions about the Indian economy. Hence the recent actions to reduce government subsidies. But their modesty, the opposition they are generating, and the likelihood that any further reforms will not touch subsidies, all suggest that it will not be easy to break the hold of fiscal populism.
This indifference to high inflation and the opportunistic, rather than serious, effort to roll back high government spending may yet come back to haunt the Indian economy in the future. But for the moment it is all about economic growth and the panic to prevent it from collapsing. Shrewd Indian politicians now know they have exchanged a 5 percent inflation ceiling for a floor of about 5 percent on economic growth.

"May I receive the going forth under the Blessed One, may I receive the higher ordination?"
BB: The going forth (pabbajja) is the initial ordination as a novice (samanera); the higher ordination (upasampada) admits the novice to full membership in the Sangha as a bhikkhu.
"Kassapa, one formerly belonging to another sect who desires the going forth..."
BB: For details on the ordination of a wander formerly belonging to another sect, see Vin I 69-71.
Spk: The candidate is actually given the going forth and lives as a novice during the probationary period, after which the bhikkhus give him the higher ordination if they are satisfied with him. The Buddha, however, is entitled to waive the usual procedure when he recognizes that the candidate is sufficiently competent and need not be tested. In Kasspa's case he had the going forth given to him; then, immediately after, Kassapa was brought back to him and he called an assembly of bhikkhus and administered the higher ordination.

To bring a little relativity to this discussion.
Last year the Pacers had 6 players total with a positive +/-. This year? 12. Only one player (Butler) has a negative.
Miami has 2 with negative.
SA has 3.
OKC has 3. (And one with a neutral)
Portland has 4.
GSW has 7.
Hou has 5.
LAC has 5.
Mem has 9.
I'm not saying the Pacers have the best bench in the league, but when your bench is on average increasing your lead size, it's quite funny having to read through the amounts of complaints that get leveled their way.

Drivers could get a little more leeway when it comes to getting a parking ticket for license-plate infractions under a bill that passed the Senate on Thursday.
Sen. Daniel Thatcher, D-West Valley City, sponsored SB137, saying cities can only ticket drivers for license-plate violations that are in state law.
That means tickets couldn't be written if a registration sticker is in the wrong spot, as long as the registration is current.
Thatcher said cities — Salt Lake City, in particular — has been overly aggressive in ticketing for minor violations.
Sen. Todd Weiler, R-Woods Cross, said he has been a "victim" of the city's heavy-handed enforcement and hopes the bill sends a message "that this will not be tolerated."
"To try to balance your municipal budget by really harassing and abusing visitors to your city is bad form," he said.
The measure passed the Senate unanimously and moves to the House for consideration.

AVON -- The Lake Erie Crushers hope to bring the greatest show on turf to All Pro Freight Stadium on Tuesday, but the team itself might be dwarfed by the very stadium it plays in.
Built on a 122-acre site, All Pro Freight really is an all-star of a professional baseball stadium.
With 2,600 chair back seats, and the capacity to fit 5,000 - through the party deck, seating on the hill behind the field, 11 suites and four-person terrace tables - the $12 million facility truly is the Taj Mahal of ballparks in Lorain County.
"We wanted to build a facility that residents could be proud of," Lake Erie assistant general manager Paul Siegwarth said. "We don't want to compete with the Indians. This is just another form of entertainment, it's right in your backyard and you're not spending a whole lot of money to do it.
"Now, you don't have to drive 40 minutes to see good baseball. For some, it's within walking distance."
The stadium, which is owned by the city of Avon, won't just house the Crushers. There are plans to hold high school and college games, concerts, fairs and other outside events.
For now, the stadium, located at the intersection of Interstate 90 and state Route 611 is all about the Crushers.
With the "worst seat" just nine rows back, fans truly will be on top of the action and those who want to sit in the general admission area can walk right up to the back of the fence to take in the action.
With a state-of-the-art sound system, those who are interested in catching up with old friends won't miss much either.
"Some people that come here won't even know what the final score of the game is," Crushers General Manager Ryan Gates said. "But they'll see their friends and neighbors here and have a good time."
There's not much dirt at All Pro Freight Stadium as Lake Erie will play on TigerTurf, which is some of the best all-purpose artificial turf around. It will make for fast, exciting play and should leave fans with a reason to come back for more.
"People love their baseball," Gates said. "We want them coming here and saying, 'We have to go back there.'
"They've never had anything like this so close to them. We were giving private tours to groups of 10 and 12 people and they came back with nothing but oohs and aahs."
Ticket prices are affordable as well with the highest seat going for $15 - four tickets at the Terrace Table costs $60 - and the cheapest going for $6.
Season tickets are also available and can be bought at lakeeriecrushers.com or by calling (440) 934-3636.

Video: Denon Globe Cruiser Headphones
Most of the people appearing in our videos are employees at Crutchfield. We pull in folks from around the company to share their expertise. A lot of our on-camera stars come from our Advisor Group — they help people choose the right gear via phone, email and chat every day, so they're good at explaining the products and technologies.
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Denon's ultra-versatile Globe Cruiser headphones give you Bluetooth and noise-canceling functions in a great-sounding, comfortable headphone built for the busy traveler.
Video Transcript
Hi. I'm Petro Shimonishi with Denon, and we're here today to talk about Denon's new Globe Cruiser AH-NCW500 headphones. As you can see, it comes in two colors — your choice of attractive silver with brown chocolate ear pads, or a more conventional black with the silver accent colors on it.
So let's talk a little bit about what you can do with them. These headphones feature Bluetooth wireless technology so you can wirelessly roam throughout an airport, a train station, or an office and listen to your music. The Bluetooth range on this is about 25 feet. You can safely keep your smart phone in your pocket, briefcase or purse and travel — enjoy your music.
In addition to that, to control your smart phone we've integrated something very innovative that Denon has invented, called the Denon control wheel. The right control wheel controls volume up by rotating it towards the front of your face, volume down by rotating it towards the rear of your face. Play/pause can be accomplished by pressing the center of the control wheel.
Additionally, as you're walking through the airport, if you're listening to music and your cell phone rings you're gonna hear a ring tone over the headphones. If you want to answer the call, simply press the center button on the control wheel on your left ear cup. The Denon Globe Cruise headphones feature integrated microphones so you can have crystal-clear conversation right here on the ear cup.
In terms of sound quality the Denon Globe Cruise headphones are noise-canceling. You have a choice of active noise canceling by flipping the noise cancelation switch on, or you can go straight into passive listening mode. But what about when wireless is not allowed, for example, let's say when you get on a plane and the stewardess says "Turn off all your wireless devices." Well, the Denon Globe Cruiser headphones ship, of course, with an audio cable. All you have to do in order to turn the Bluetooth off is simply plug the audio cable into the audio jack at the very bottom of the ear cups. And now you can listen in wired mode.
These headphones also feature a ten-hour rechargeable battery integrated into the ear cup. However, if the battery runs out mid-flight, don't worry. Plug the cable in and you can still listen to your music. You'll notice that the shape of the on-ear ear pad is a little bit different from what you typically see on conventional headphones. This is using Denon's patent-pending pentagonally shaped memory foam ear pads that mimics more closely the natural shape and contour of the human ear. The Globe Cruiser headphones are extremely easy to use and they're extremely comfortable to wear.
If you have any questions regarding Denon headphones please be sure to contact your Crutchfield representative.

Topic: Anticipating first visit to oncologist - advice?
I am grateful to find this forum and wish to convey my best wishes to all of you. CC is a tragic disease, but it seems there is much to be hopeful and positive about and the stories here are full of inspiration.
A close friend of mine (JJ) has just been diagnosed with unresectable cc ("bile duct cancer" - diagnosis of unresectability made surgically). I'm not sure whether it is intra- or extra- hepatic, but I understand that the cancer has metastasized and/or involves the portal vein. JJ is in her early 30s and is otherwise healthy.
Obviously, it is very hard to deal with this difficult news. It has been hard because she hasn't been told much other than "you have months to live" , and hasn't had access to any specialists other than the palliative care people while she waits for an appointment with an oncologist. (It's been over a month since the surgery but there is a waiting list to get into the cancer clinic here - is this typical? it's been very trying....)
On reading the postings here, I've been thinking of ways that I can be helpful to JJ. One way would be if I could get your advice on what she should expect and ask during her first visit to the oncologist, which will happen (finally) next week. I would be grateful for your thoughts on what one should be sure to ask about. It seems that there is no "standardized/conventional treatment" for this disease, and I know that it is sometimes difficult to get information about clinical research from many physicians, who are often overburdened and may not be aware of everything.
And so I'm gathering a list of questions that she should ask about. I apologize if some of this is repeated in other forums - I've read as much as I can. So far, the biggest leads regarding potential experimental therapies seem to be:
- photodynamic therapy
- dendritic cell vaccine therapy (and/or other immuno-therapies)
- Sorafenib
Are there others that she should ask about or investigate? Can you share your "things I wished I had known before my first visit to my oncologist"?
I am grateful for your advice, which I can then pass on to JJ.
Thanks for reading. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Making The Film
Thoughts on Beagling
This video documents the breeding, training and hunting of the beagle, the world's most popular hound, by three passionate beaglers: Clayton Bright, a sculptor of sporting art from the wealthy Brandywine district of Pennsylvania; Roland Baltimore, an African American contractor from Middleburg, Virginia; and Claude Honeycutt, a devoutly religious gun dog man from the mountains of western North Carolina near Asheville.
This video (along with Thoughts on Foxhunting) is available on a variety of formats from Davenport Films. Contact davfilms(at)crosslink.net.
Thoughts on Beagling is the best beagling video I've seen, not only in its technical excellence, but also in its showing of different styles of beagling, all connected by the love of the hounds. The way Tom Davenport weaves the story line between the three huntsmen and their hounds is where technical and artistic genius come together. The scenery, hunting footage and dialogue all combine to produce a film that can be seen over and over.

My experiences
One day as I was watching my minds, I found out minds are coming one after another. In fact, at that point, no past or future is existed. It's just a matter of knowing it come and go. Nothing we can do nor control.
After then, I noticed every mind has their unique quality, but they also have some few common functions. When we think the properties of liquids such as coffee, tea, whisky, they all have different tastes, colors according to their ingredients and their ratio. But they all still have same liquid properties.
As I watched them so closely, found that all their unique quality (happiness, light happiness, calmness, distractions) were just a composition of their ingredients of varying degree. After 3 or 4 seconds later, I noticed there also a common quality in all mind(there might be more than one). That is only happening just before the disappearing the mind. It never happened at the start or middle part of a mind. I also looked for whether it is happening somewhere else, but it always happen just before the end of every mind.
At first, I was so wondering what is it and what it is doing. Then suddenly found out that one is initiating/calling to become a next mind. Amazing!!! It strength is so big and can able to ignite to happen the next mind. Once I noticed that process, the next mind automatically watched that process, and then suddenly I lost everything.
I lost a fraction of a second or it may last not more than 2 or 3 seconds. All the steps I mentioned above happening within 10 to 15 seconds I think.
Once I remember back, it was shock and feel very satisfy. And gradually, understood the followings in later days;
1) This is the place/event that can't compare any happiness, peacefulness that I experienced before. All the happiness/peacefulness I experienced before have their roots of cause. But that one has no cause. It's peaceful because of it is peaceful. I can't find the reasons for it.
2) Already get rid of belief in TIME, that we used to say in everyday life. TIME is just a matter of happening of consecutive minds, nothing more than that. If they are not coming one after another as usual, how can we say about it? Nothing left to say. TIME is not a reality. It's just a consequence of happening consecutive minds.
3) Someone can go there depending of how smart he is for his Samadi and Sila.
Something I want to share with you
I do watching minds, movements, feelings, sensations as soon as there I got chances. Knowing those things are quite interesting and don't want to miss them all. But I lost a lot every day and trying again and again. It's not an easy job but a good job and I can't stop it.
I followed Mahasi way that mentioned just to watch what is happening in your mind/body. If we do it non-stop (just to watch them as it is happening, it would be slow or fast) for some hours, it is quite obvious. Do not make conclusion whatever you find on your way.
There is one common mistake for us that we have belief in thinking/considering/making-conclusion could solve our problems. It's not true in here. Thinking/considering/making-conclusions are just the processes/aspects of mind that able to do a lot of functions we can't notice easily. Do not forget, in here, we are trying to understand the mechanism of mind, not be involving to be part of it.
If you are so addicted in thinking/considering, please drop them just for that period of mediation.

Yeah, they hung with Miami tonight. That's a probably second-round matchup, so it would be great if they could really play Miami well.

Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
Delladova must be obnoxious.
Don't like that Paul is letting a guy like Dellavedova get to him. Paul and Lance were those annoying young guys once. Need to remember.
While this is a funny clip, Jarrett Jack sure is one self righteous M-F'er. As though he has never made a mistake at the end of a game, I'm sure if Clark would like we can get him plenty of tape.
This brings me back to the fight on the bench with T.J. Ford that I watched live and reported as it happened. I have a feeling that Mr. Jack moves from team to team because he probably does not develop a lot of close relationships with team mates with this type of attitude. Again just my opinion I know nothing that you guys don't.
Is scola playing below 20 minutes every game?
Blowouts are nice but I like a game like tonight every once in a while to see how the Pacers operate in close games. Paul's shaky ball handling is something that might hurt us when we get into crunch time in the playoffs. I like Lance going right at the rim and Hibbert getting the rebound.
@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
Just got home from this game...gotta say, it wasn't very enjoyable to watch
George Hill looked completely irrelevant for just about all game...to be honest I felt that Delladova played better than him. He honestly seems to have DJ Augustin syndrome where he just brings the ball up the court and passes it off, only to stand in one place and shoot a 3 if it gets passed back to him. I was a little surprised at this, particularly because I'm a big George Hill fan.
Lance...was ok. He had a few good plays, and a few bad plays, but it seemed to be a game that was below average for him.
I felt the same way about Paul George, although he does seem to hit big shots when we need them the most.
West was really bad. He seemed completely disengaged and forced up a lot of bad shots.
Hibbert...didn't feel like he made much of an impact all game. I thought Andy outplayed him and particularly on the boards, Cavs were way more on it than the Pacers were.
Ian got outplayed by Tyler Zeller SO hard.
I'm really glad we had Danny Granger though because he played a very solid game. His veteran presence was definitely needed tonight.
Scola played a realllly solid first half, and truly channeled his inner Kobe Jones the second half and just...was not effective.
The Pacers really fell asleep late in the 4th Q allowing Cavs to come back - Andy had two really easy and basic backdoor cuts to dunk in a row after Waiters just went off on the Pacers.
I don't mean to be debbie downer, I'm happy we got the win, but if we continue to play like this, we are in trouble. I really wasn't impressed tonight and I think we won purely because we are the more talented team. A starting lineup of Delladova, Miles, Clark, Tristan, and Andy with even less talent off the bench should not be able to stay competitive with our lineup.
follow me @TruenoPanda - lets talk Pacers!
I do, however, expect them all to be Georgeous.
Love this team and I know they've only had one effort loss (@TOR) all year, so I know at least they're always going to bring it on defense (and if @CHI, @POR, @OKC games happen where the other team can't miss, they happen, nothing you can do about it). And that's huge. Being able to lean on your defense is huge, especially in the playoffs.
But I am mildly concerned about a bad old habit at least peaking up out of a foxhole over the last few games: this team is making offensive execution MUCH more difficult than it needs to be. And the talent level on this team is just too good for that. I would have understood it 2 years ago, hell, even last year. But guys like Paul George, Lance Stephenson (not to mention bench upgrades) are too evolved for this to ever surface again with any consistency.
Move the ball. Don't pass up good shots, and don't settle for late/bad shots (way too many bad threes in recent games). Attack the basket with PG24 and Lance. SPACE THE FLOOR.
I know this team can do it. So...do it!
J. Jack is an *******. Thinks he is the best player on every team, why do you think Golden State didn't really lose any sleep that he walked? Dude thought he should be starting with Curry and Thompson this year.
There is A LOT of ball sticking right now from pretty much everyone on the roster. Danny and Scola are probably moving the ball the best and that should not be the case. It is sticking with West and Roy in the post and it is sticking with particularly Paul and Lance on the perimeter. Not acceptable. This team has too many pieces to not eat people alive with ballhandling, but not surprising that some bad trends are starting to poke through. We're nearly at the halfway point (if you can believe it) no doubt Vogel will get it straightened up.
Jack is fine. He left because CLE gave him big $.
I reviewed the play and couldn't figure it out. Lance drove to the bucket just before, threw a nice pass to Hill in the corner who eventually shot a three which missed. Lance got the rebound and dribbled a couple of times when it got poked.
I have no idea, but if I had to guess, Hill got on Lance for dribbling a couple of times, and Lance told him he just offensive rebounded Hill's miss, so lay off.
But who knows? I imagine there is potential for difficulty seeing that running the offense is generally switching these days from Hill to Lance.
One could easily just point the finger at Lance in this incident. But I don't see Vogel benching Hill as well unless part of it was on him.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
I only caught the end of the 4th. but I like what I see from the shot distribution in the box score. I'd assume more touches in the paint and it's good to see a little more pt for Danny who has earned it.
Who was it that suggested Vogel tell Paul that he could only take as many 3's as he had free throw attempts?
I know it seems to have not worked out as well for us tonight but I think this team is better when we move the ball into the paint first and get more players involved in the offense, we're too talanted to have one player take 24 shots.
I agree on the Lance/GHill 'problem'. I think GH said something to Lance and Lance took it badly. Vogel did what he should have done, nipped that nonsense in the bud. Players may get emotional, but there is no reason to let them lose their concentration by pouting at each other. Seemed to work, they seemed fine when they came back in together. The thing that bothers me most is the way the team seems to go into iso/hero mode any time they are challenged by another team. When the Pacers move the ball from side to side and inside out, they are almost impossible to beat. When they yo-yo the ball on the perimeter then throw up last second hasty shots, they become very average.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The mother of a teenager killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer who has claimed self-defense was at the state Capitol on Wednesday calling on lawmakers to repeal the controversial "stand your ground" legislation.
But the sponsor of the 2005 legislation says it has yet to be proven the law needs to be changed.
Sabrina Fulton arrived at the Capitol looking composed.
"I think it's important that we have some type of change," she said.
Zimmerman has claimed self-defense even though the teenager was unarmed.
"As a parent, I wouldn't want you to stand in my shoes because it is hard, it's difficult," Fulton said.
A Task Force on Citizen Safety formed by Gov. Rick Scott, spent half of last year taking testimony. Sponsors of the legislation to repeal the law called the effort bogus.
"They had a job to do and they failed their job," said Sen. Dwight Bullard, D-Miami.
After holding hearings across the state, the governor is yet to get the task force report, and it's unclear if he plans to make any recommendations.
Meanwhile, the sponsor of the law said his sympathy went out to Martin's parents, but he said that the death hasn't convinced him the law needs changing.
"The policy itself has proved that if you allow law-abiding people to stop violent acts, they can, they will and they did," said Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, a sponsor of the law.
Zimmerman has yet to have his day in court. In mid- to late-April, he will argue that he stood his ground. If that defense fails, he'll face second-degree murder charges in June.

Post subject: Ableton & Audio 4 DJ with my pinky
Hello dear Ms.Pinky-forum,
i am running ableton live with pinky vst and a audio DJ4-soundcard.
i got everything working fine - i have routed the timecode to the pinky vst and i routed this track to deck 1 as output.
the rest of the live set is routed to deck 2, so that i can switch with the crossfader of my pioneer djm-400 between the pinky vst and the rest.
but how do i now record what happens on deck one, with the correct crossfader function ?
would really appreciate your help

Hey, I replied to your post on the ableton forum, but I'll post it here too.
What mixer are you using? The big problem with recording any DVS output out of a simple dj mixer is that it won't give you separate outputs for what you do on deck A and B after the crossfader, only the mixed output.
If your mixer has a post-fader FX loop (like the Ranes do), you can use the FX send as a direct output for deck A setting it all the way to Wet, while deck B would go out your mixer's main out setting it to Dry, then in Ableton record them separately.
If your mixer doesn't have an FX loop or it's pre-fader, that won't work. If you absolutely need ableton's Main Out to go through your mixer's channel B and Ms Pinky through A, you could consider running a Mono setup. Add a copy of this
Sum to Mono
rack after Ms Pinky VST's output and another after Live's, before they go into your mixer. Then, on the mixer pan Channel A hard left and Channel B hard right. That way your Mixer Main output L will be Channel A and R will be Channel B, and can be recorded separately, but you lose your Stereo Image. Also, be careful with your monitoring and routing when recording back Live's output like this, it can easily create a feedback loop. On the below pic, you'd send the Mixer's Channel B Live's output instead of a turntable.
The other (simpler) option is not running Ableton's output to your mixer, and just recording one deck of Ms Pinky as a single track, but this would depend on what you want to do. This setup works when you just want to add scratches to a track.
I'm using a Traktor Audio 6 for this diagrams, so the soundcard's Main In (front) is always line and the decks inputs can be switched to phono/line independently. I'm not sure if you can switch the Audio 4's inputs independently, but if you can't and got it working with Asio4All, you can use your Soundblaster in place of the Main In/Out in my soundcard diagrams.

thanks this could be very helpful.
i just want to add scratches to my tracks - not to mix everything. i tried the second picture, but the main problem is getting two input-signals in ableton - one to get the signal for pinky vst and one should be the master output of the mixer.
and i have a pioneer djm-400 .
i tried using asio 4 all for setting up the two inputs but it doesnt work - i cant get the audio 4dj's input + line-in input (mixers output).
so should i probably use an additional interface instead of my creative sb x-fi for setting up the two soundcards in asio?
best regards

Sorry, I don't have a PC to test Asio4All, but I just came up with an idea. Maybe you could look into is using Maxi-Patch AO instead of Pinky VST, that's what I'm doing currently with my current set-up.
Set Maxi-Patch's audio settings so it uses the Audio 4 for it's I/O, then set Ableton to use the Soundblaster. Do your setup routing, and connect your mixer to the Soundblaster input, and use its output as your main out. I'm not sure if Windows would have issues with using 2 soundcards for different audio apps, and you may have to play around with buffer sizes in both, but if you just can't get Asio4All to work it might be a good idea to look into this.

Mudo, problem is he needs 2 input pairs, one for the control vinyl and the second for his mixer's audio output, and (I think) the Audio 4 DJ won't allow setting Phono/Line independently for its inputs, it's either both Phono or both Line, so he needs a 2nd soundcard to record his scratching.

Why not use booth in phono and attach a preamp between mixer and 2 channel on audio4dj? Then set a resample channel inside Ableton and record the scratch...
Other way could be use Asio4all (multikernel) with Audio4dj for the turntables and interal soundcard for resampling (crappy solution but useful at last...)
as one soundcard (like coreaudio)
then select this "new" soundcard (audio4dj+soundblaster &/or internal) and manage its inputs outputs to get the desire setup.
I'm missing something?

the strange thing is, that asio4all wont let a signal of the timecode-signal thru, so i wont even be able to control ms pinky with asio selected (plus correct setup).
if i select the audio4 dj as audio device in ableton i can control the plugin but if i switch to asio with one turntable as input, it wont work..
any suggestions for setting up asio?

Mudo's pre-amp solution could work really good if you just can't get both cards working with asio4all and would prefer to use the audio 4 only. Set the audio 4 inputs to line, put the phono pre-amp between the turntable and soundcard, and connect your mixer's out to the audio 4's 2nd in, and use the 2nd out as your main out.
I do recommend looking into replacing Pinky VST with Maxi-Patch AO, it might save you the hassle of using Asio4All and get your rig working the way you want without spending a bit more on the pre-amp.

Problem is phono pre-amps also add an pretty steep EQ curve to the incoming signal called the RIAA curve to compensate for the bass lowering used to cut vinyl, and normal mic/line pre-amps don't have that EQ.
If you already have the Fast Track Pro, you might have better luck setting it up alongside the Audio 6 with Asio4All instead of the SB.

if you have a fast track pro you could use the maxi patch with the native instruments dj 4 interface then run your mixer output into the fast track pro's inputs.. the mixer out should be line level.
then use the fast track with ableton.
i do a similar set up for making instructional videos,
i use ableton with my motu 828mkiii and then run the main out into my focusrite 212 with camtasia.
it works..
not sure i'd perform with that set up though but it will get you buy
untill you get an interface with more i/o

PUBLIC health doctors in Devon are warning parents that failing to vaccinate their children with the triple measles, mumps and rubella vaccine could leave them exposed following an outbreak in the north of the county.
Measles is currently circulating in primary schools in North Devon with Park Community School having a confirmed case and a further eight suspected cases.
Another two suspected cases are being monitored at Yeo Valley Primary School and Braunton Academy.
Doctors have sent parents letters via the schools, advising immunisation as the most effective way of reducing their risk of contracting the disease.
Dr Virginia Pearson, director of public health for Devon, said, "We know that the measles virus is circulating in North Devon and so far the people affected have not been immunised or only partially immunised with the MMR vaccine.
"Measles can spread quickly and easily, especially in close knit communities such as schools and community facilities which is why it is so important that children are properly immunised."
Dr. Mark Kealy, of health protection agency south west added: "Measles is potentially a very serious illness which can be fatal in certain groups with suppressed immunity, such as newborn babies, pregnant women, people with leukaemia, HIV/AIDS or patients on cancer and organ transplant drugs."
"By getting your children immunised you will protect them and other more vulnerable people in the community who could become seriously ill if they catch the disease.
"Measles should not be taken lightly, as you can never tell when you have passed it on to someone in whom it would cause serious, maybe fatal, disease.
"It is never too late to get your child vaccinated. If they've missed out on MMR in the past it's always possible for them to catch-up - just contact your GP."
Parents are being advised to keep their children away from school and people who may be susceptible to infection for at least five after the first signs of the illness begin to appear.
It is also important not to visit a GP practice with a child who has measles but to telephone ahead in the first instance to minimise the risk of spreading the infection.
For more information about measles, visit the Health Protection Agency website - www.hpa.org.uk - or the NHS immunisation website at www.immunisation.nhs.uk/vaccines/MMR for details about getting vaccinated.

Again: Not March 1, 2014. That is March 1, as in Friday.
The news release did not indicate exactly who would be in charge of the corporation's 16 schools, roughly 10,000 students and 650 employees in the absence of Green, stating instead that "the board will be prepared to share its plan for an interim superintendent at its regularly scheduled board meeting on March 5."
EACS Board President Neil Reynolds on Tuesday morning said that an interim superintendent has not been chosen yet. A committee is considering the choice, and next week's meeting is not a deadline, he added. People who would normally carry out the superintendent's duties might do so in lieu of the board selecting an interim superintendent.
Green actually resigned Jan. 8, Reynolds said. Since then, he said, board members have come to think that it would be better for the district if they negotiated terms for an early end to her contract, which runs through June 30, 2014. Those terms are still being discussed, he said. The terms will be public when an agreement is reached.
Green has held the job since July 2009, when she took over for the retiring Kay Novotny. Green came to EACS from the South Bend Community School Corporation. However, Green had indicated that she intended to finish her contract, but the release stated that Green's near-immediate departure "is in the best interest of the students, teachers and schools."
The fit among Green, the board and the East Allen community has been strained for months, if not years, mostly due to the redesign of the district that was prompted by the potential takeover of Harding High School by the state after years of academic woes.
Harding's closure was announced in 2010, leading to a brutal stretch where parents vehemently resisted the move. Those against the closure pushed for a charter and/or state takeover of Harding so students who already attended the school would not have to be bused to other schools in the district.
None of those requests were granted; instead, the district closed the school for one year while it developed another program, East Allen University, to take its place. East Allen University is described as an early college program, where students have the option to graduate with a high school diploma and an associate's degree, through a partnership with Vincennes University.
It opened in May, mere days before the district suffered a significant setback when its proposed $89 million referendum was soundly defeated at the polls, being rejected by 64 percent of voters.
The referendum would have allowed for the renovation of New Haven Intermediate School at the site of Park Hill Learning Center, funded additions to New Haven High School and allowed for renovations to the former Harding High School to create East Allen University.
It is possible that wasn't even the lowest point for Green's tenure...in May alone.
During an explanation of a "district climate survey" conducted by Daryl Yost, a former EACS superintendent, the board was told the prevailing perception in the community was that board members represented their individual districts first instead of meeting the needs of the district while failing to understand the separation between governing, not managing the district.
Green didn't escape unscathed from criticism, being told that EACS employees felt "undervalued" by the administration and were frustrated at "the perceived chaos of initiatives" in the district related to the redesign and performance evaluations. Yost also said he found there was little confidence in the "transparency or integrity of the central office," particularly with Green.
Green originally signed a three-year contract at $140,000 per year to run the district. The news release did not contain any details of a potential severance package, though, again, Green was under contract through 2014.

Why Not Us ?
You all saw Jermaine right? At the end of the game while his teammates walked off the floor, he sat there and stared. I KNOW he had to be pissed off. Carlisle looked back and told him to "Come on", and he just sat there. Bird looked down and Jermaine, and he just sat there. I hope he calls this team out badly tonight.
I'm surprised only DA and Troy picked up T's at the end of the game. I would have paid Jermaine to have chucked the ball into the stands; he deserved so much more tonight.
You Got The Tony!!!!!!
I was expecting JO to go on and get tossed from this game...I really wish he would have...And i hope he rips this team so hard they feel it for the next week...In the locker room i'd lay into my teammates! win 3...lose 3...win 3...lose 3...I'm not convinced we couldn't go up 3-0 in the playoffs then be the first NBA team to lose 4-3...
it's sad really..I feel bad for JO as a ball player...but as a person he still has millions...
Yeah we just don't match up well against the Kings. Bibby and Martin are an excellent backcourt and we just don't have the perimeter defense to stop them. Are you guys really that surprised?
I mean everyone already knows that perimeter D is our biggest problem right? Im not going to play the blame game like usual, I'll just chalk this one up to great nights by Bibby and Martin, or great 2nd halves anyway.
chill out everybody. Based upon talent and chemistry this SHOULD be a 0.500 team.
0.500 teams lose games and play bad pretty often.
at 29-26, maybe we are overachieving.
that game upset me beyond all belief I think it's best that I don't even watch the games in March, that schedule is so tough if we struggled with that easy of a schedule, I'm thinking the lottery is in our future.
Jermaine is gone at the end of the year
You all better hope that Jermaine doesn't leave (I don't think he will.) But if he does Id say were in for about 5 years of bottom feeding in the Eastern Conference. Not something that I would look forward to.
Our calm, cool, collected vet PG 3/11 tonight and a technical foul. Keep up the good work fearless leader.
That was definatly one of the more aggrovating games to watch. I just seemed like the entire team wasn't in the game tonight. Danny had an off night, Dun Dun was looking good in the first half and played Hudini in the 2nd half. The defense was painful to watch.
The McCloud/Marshall back court was the worse thing I've seen in a long time.
Bad game, just a bad game.
I really hate to think about the points the Suns are going to put up on this team in these next coming games. It could be very ugly.
"I'm not looking for the best players, I'm looking for the right ones."
-Herb Brooks
I feel sorry for JO in all of this. I got to watch most of the 4th quarter (and hear the end of the 3rd) and I don't know how someone watching that could not feel for what has to be going on his head.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
BBall you better not be lying to me? If this is true. You are my best friend from now on.
We have no backup backcourt when Quis is out. DA is becoming a joke.
- We just got our asses handed to us by the Kings
- We're not developing any young talent except Granger
- We can't guard the Pope
- Our team isn't even a promising squad to watch.
- Our players obviously don't enjoy playing for our coach.
- I know Jermaine will ask to be traded after the season if this team keeps playing like a bunch of girly men.
- We have no way of significantly improving this team in the offseason
If being .500 is ok for some then whatever. But I'm tired of my team being a good loser.
What the hell was Carlisle's idea of Amstrong and Tinsley starting the 2nd half as the backcourt??? Tinsley was put on the 6'7 Martin and immediately was posted up and picked up fouls 3 and 4 and forced to the bench.
The combo of Bibby and Martin scored the first 31 points of the quarter and 35 of the Kings 40 for the quarter. The runt back court allowed the Kings to get going offensively and when Tinsley was forced to the bench with his 4th foul the Kings pressure turned the game totally around.
Yes, tonight the genuis Carlisle outfoxed himself with that brilliant move.
Rick Carlisle needs to be fired ASAP.
Looks up at scoreboard losing to the kings by 20+, looks out on the floor seeing our players still don't care, looks up into the stands empty seats everywhere...time to leave. Nobody cares anymore why should Jermaine?
NONONO you see that all wrong! Tinsley lost us this game, only he's evil on this team, and he lost it for us! (/sarcasm)
Yeah afaic this is the 2nd game in a row we get badly outcoached.
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.
If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!

Rookie Kiermaier earns Heart and Hustle honor
ST. LOUIS -- When Kevin Kiermaier was intentionally walked Sunday in Minnesota, the Rays rookie didn't walk but rather hustled down the first-base line.
"Hey, man, it's called a walk for a reason," teammates told him.
That moment is one of several reasons Kiermaier has been named the Rays' recipient of this year's Heart and Hustle Award. The award honors active players who demonstrate a passion for the game of baseball and best embody the values, spirit and tradition of the game, and it is voted on by former players.
A recipient from each organization is honored before fans, alumni and active players vote to select a final winner to represent the league.
"I've looked at some of the other names of guys who were recipients for it, and it's really cool to be mentioned in the same category as them," Kiermaier said. "You can bet I'll be playing like that for as long as I play."
The final winner will be announced Nov. 18 at the 15th Annual Legends for Youth Dinner in New York City, a fundraiser for the series of free Legends for Youth Baseball Clinics.

The sheen of the silk and the luscious detail of the lace are straight out of Versailles, while the classic suspender shape and the seasonally sexy palates scream Corvettes and pouty lipstick. However it speaks to you, put on some Tom Waits and hold on tight- it's going to be a wild ride.

Post-Wildfire Possum Kingdom State Park Reopening
CADDO – Possum Kingdom State Park, blackened but not bowed by April wildfires, reopened today just in time for the traditionally busy Memorial Day weekend.
The park's cabins and 10 primitive campsites are still off limits, but the other camping areas will be open, according to Rocky Holland, park superintendent. He says replacement of the two of three burned sewer field liners is still not complete, so the park's wastewater system remains shut down, but should be operable soon. That means bathrooms and shower facilities, as well as the trailer dump station, will not be available.
Portable toilets have been brought into the park in the interim. Visitors are reminded to bring their own drinking water due to the high salt content of the water supply. Due to reduced park operations, all park fees are being discounted through May 31.
Possum Kingdom State Park sustained wildfire damage to approximately 90 percent of the park, but dozens of firefighters kept the flames from scorching the campgrounds and saved the other structures inside the park. Only the linen building and Cabin 2 suffered sustained slight damage from the wildfires that ravaged more than 100,000 acres and burned more than 100 homes in the Possum Kingdom Lake area before being contained.
Much of the park's blackened terrain already is showing signs of recovery, thanks to recent rains, and is expected to continue to green up over the coming months. The three camping areas, as well as the lakeside camping, swimming beach and picnic area, sustained no fire damage. The park store and marina are open for business.
Possum Kingdom State Park covers 1,528 acres in Palo Pinto County, 17 miles north of Caddo.

I graduated from Auburn University in 2009, and recently finished my Master's degree at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. Here, I studied niche partitioning mechanisms between sympatric carnivores in the eastern Andean foothills of Ecuador.
I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in ecology at the University of Wyoming. I grew up in the St. Lawrence River valley of northern New York State and attended the State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry at Syracuse University (SUNY ESF).
I was born and grew up in a small village in Keiyo District, Kenya, where I spent a lot of time tending livestock and fetching firewood in the bush. My interaction with nature and wild creatures during my childhood provided a source of wonder and inspiration toward the environment.
I am a lucky fellow because I get paid to do what I love to do. I am an academic generalist and I try hard to be a conservation biologist, community ecologist, and mammalogist simultaneously. I am interested in both applied issues and basic questions in ecology. Through my research and that of our group, I try to understand how species interactions can inform wildlife conservation and management.

Kids are very likely to come into contact with parasites like lice and worms. Why? Because they tend to forget to wash their hands, and they are more likely to play in the dirt than adults. Some parasitic infections spread quickly in school and child care environments because kids tend to share personal items and work and play in close proximity. As yucky as they seem, parasitic infections are usually harmless and relatively easily treated. But, left untreated, they can lead to more serious infections, weight loss, and more.
From head lice to pinworms, the best prevention is to teach kids to avoid getting parasitic infections in the first place. Learn more about how parasites infect kids and what to look for if you suspect a parasitic infection.

Mark Stephenson, Director of Dairy Policy Analysis at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Bob Cropp, dairy economics professor emeritus, are scratching their heads over dairy markets since the release of USDA's Milk Production report.
Among the reasons they cite for higher prices: stocks look a little tight, and domestic sales have been strong. They warn, however, that the divergent global and domestic markets can't continue going in opposite directions.
