Shared Hosting Services: A Boon To The Techno Savvy Enterprises. The advent of technological innovations and globalization demands the enterprises provide the best of services to their clientele. In a techno savvy business environment, every project undertaken is dependent on the data and information across a wide network spanning geographical boundaries. Thus, an effective method would then be the efficient management of the data centers and the web hosting services. Further, management and maintenance of data centers and providing for world-class IT infrastructure in the data centers to meet the competitive world, tends to increase the financial load on the enterprises. The other option available to the enterprises is then to partner with existing data centers and make use of their web hosting services. Most of the leading service providers have Internet Data centers with good infrastructure, which would meet the world-class standards. With such an infrastructure, expert team and a 24/7 service, these data centers are ready to provide dedicated hosting, shared hosting services, firewall, backup solutions as well as colocation services for their clienteles. Shared hosting or virtual hosting as it is commonly known, is a type of web hosting wherein a single physical server hosts a similar web server more than once. In other words, one server tends to host many websites at the same time. The server resources, such as network connection and disk space, are shared between the websites. This brings down the server maintenance and management costs as it is being shared by a number of individuals, and works out as the best option for clients not ready for dedicated servers or virtual private servers. However, the shared hosting offered by datacenters doesn't offer the flexibility of dedicated servers, as this demands a good level of system administration, but the responsibility of the service providers in either case remains the same with installation, technical support and management. Most of the data centers operating on a global level have a number of shared hosting services basically catering to the small and medium business enterprises as well as to large Corporates, which make use of additional data centers for their day-to-day functioning. With organizations, trying to stay ahead in the competition, e-commerce and web hosting has become the trend. In the bargain, more and more enterprises look forward to have their footprint on the World Wide Web. This trend has seen many enterprises opt for the Datacenter managed shared hosting services which besides bring down the costs of maintenance and backups provides the enterprises the freedom to concentrate on website designing and other core issues.

Blue Cross of N.C.: Pigs at the Trough
Fact: Last Aug. 5, the NC General Assembly passed its budget bill, which included a provision mandating that inmates treated at hospitals would be billed at the same rates as the State Health Plan for state workers and teachers, a reform that would have saved the state millions on hospital treatment for inmates.
Disgusting Fact: On the day that Gov. Perdue signed the budget law, state Democratic Sen. Tony Rand inserted language in a legislative housekeeping bill that effectively gutted the money-saving provision.
Really Disgusting Fact: It comes to light in an investigation by the Raleigh News & Observer (published today) that Blue Cross Blue Shield of N.C. was sending secret e-mails to Sen. Rand containing the language that he subsequently inserted to help that monopolistic health-insurance provider (so to speak) continue to rip off the state's taxpayers.
These are the same corporate tools who have gotten hysterical over the threat of actual health-insurance reform, like the "public option," and who have used the U.S. mails to induce their naive subscribers to put pressure on Sen. Kay Hagan and others not to do anything in Congress that might cause their cash cow to give less milk.
Non-profit corporation ... there's an oxymoron!
Tony Rand is now gone from the State Senate, pursued closely by the bears of prosecutorial retribution. Might his collusion with BC/BS of NC be added to the list of offenses, or was that perfectly legal in the way that only politicians could devise unethical string-pulling to be "perfectly legal"?

Foxx Won't Lift a Finger to Preserve the Blue Ridge Parkway
Even conservative Republican Senator Dick Burr realizes its economic importance for his state. Burr has signed on as cosponsor with Sen. Kay Hagan of a 75th Parkway anniversary bill which would authorize the preservation (by purchase) of up to 50,000 acres of land along the Parkway route. Heath Shuler (NC-11) is a key sponsor of the House version of this bill.
Conspicuously missing from the House bill's list of co-sponsors are two who actually represent counties through which the Parkway passes ... Patrick McHenry (NC-10) and Virginia Foxx (NC-5).
Foxx's explanation is all rigid conservative ideology. She wouldn't spend a dime, not even to help her own constituents.
The Winston-Salem Journal scolds her in an editorial this a.m.: "...we can't afford to get behind on preserving the parkway. The recession is lifting, and resort property prices will soon resume their steady climb. We should have money for land ready so that orderly development can be balanced with preservation -- our responsibility to future generations."

Take That, Blue Cross NC!
That latter number amounts to a huge razzberry directed at Blue Cross/Blue Shield of NC, which has spent a secret amount (the corp. won't say how much) sending out multiple propaganda pieces opposing health-care reform, the most recent featuring a postage-paid, pre-printed postcard opposing any public option reform that the recipient is supposed to sign and send to Sen. Kay Hagan. Many people have been altering those cards to reflect the feelings of a majority of North Carolinians (see above), like NC House Rep. Pricey Harrison. We heard about one guy who taped his edited card to a brick before sending it on through the postal system, which apparently is totally legal and costs Blue Cross of NC slightly more than 28 cents.
Next we can expect Blue Cross's $4-million-man, CEO Bob Greczyn, to claim that the high cost of his insurance is due to "socialists" in the state abusing his postage-paid propaganda.

Cal Cunningham
We've had a chance to meet and hear Mr. Cunningham speak a couple of times recently, and we're impressed that he would take the fight to Burr and is probably best equipped to generate enthusiasm among that newest Democratic demographic, the 18-30 age group. He's honing his attack on Burr and drawing the necessary distinctions.
Chuck Schumer, head of the DSCC two years ago, picked Kay Hagan to run against Liddy Dole. Robert Menendez will do the picking this year. It's not necessarily the way we'd like to see our senatorial candidates picked, but that's the way it is. Period.

The Money That Endangers Democracy
But Sen. Dick Burr is the grand champion money-raker from these particular special interests. He's banked $1,674,101, "or almost three times the $630,949 raised by number two, Rep. Sue Myrick (R-Charlotte)."
All the North Carolina Republicans in Congress oppose health-care reform (with the possible exception of Walter Jones), and they will of course deny that these outrageous mounds of health-industry cash have anything to do with their attitudes. We believe 'em, right?
We expect Republican elected officials to side always with the rich and powerful. More disturbing are the $$ some of our Democrats are swallowing, particularly Sen. Kay Hagan and 11th Dist. Congressman Heath Shuler. Both tend to the "blue" end of the spectrum and have at various times expressed longing to protect the interests of big insurance monopolies.
As for Rep. Jones of the NC-3, he's a special (admirable) case (though we doubt very seriously that he'll ever vote for a final health-reform bill):
Of the twelve NC members of Congress in office during 2004-2008, Rep. Walter B. Jones Jr. (R-Farmville) got the least amount from the pharmaceutical industry -- a total of only $7,000 over three campaigns. Jones is also the only Republican from North Carolina who voted for requiring Medicare to use its purchasing power to negotiate lower drug prices, for encouraging the use of generics, and for allowing the import of FDA-approved prescription drugs.
Rep. Jones says the perceived relationship between votes and campaign money damages "public trust" in Congress. In fact, he is the main Republican sponsor of the Fair Elections Now Act (HR-1826), which would provide a public campaign option in Congressional elections, similar to the program now in place for appellate court judges in North Carolina. At a hearing on the legislation in July, Rep. Jones used the drug industry's political clout as the example of why reform is needed.

What Senators Dodd & Hagan Have in Common (Other Than Uncommonly Good Health Insurance)
has not only benefited from the hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertisement courtesy of the pharmaceutical industry and Families U.S.A., a health-care advocacy group the industry teamed up with. But a few weeks ago, Mr. Dodd attended a $1,500-a-plate campaign fund-raiser sponsored by lobbyists representing U.S. Oncology, a provider of cancer drugs and services.
Dodd chairs the key health committee in the Senate that has already written its version of health-care reform, a bill which contains a public option.
Kay Hagan sits on this committee. She's received the same fawning support from PhRMA, with TV ads the group has paid for in N.C. praising her.
Doesn't make us feel any better about our chances, when the chips are finally down, of getting a consumer-friendly vote out of either senator.
We all knew that Congress was being bought & paid for by Big Business well before the reform of insurance industry practices was a gleam in Barack Obama's eye. They've bought key members of both parties. Sen. Dick Burr was schmoozing the same creeps last night. Ordinary working-class citizens can't get into such meetings. They're for the Big Boys only, and for the politicians they buy. Like, say, the effing Blue Dog Democrats.
We deserve this sorry state of affairs if we put up with this sorry state of affairs. I'm about past the point where I'm willing to put up with it, especially from elected representatives I might have considered philosophical allies.

The Face of the Opposition
People are sick and tired of the deniers -- those who poo-poo the idea of millions upon millions of Americans who are uninsured -- and whose every response to reform is to scream "socialism," as though that word contained any content whatsoever beyond its apparent power as a club to beat down the already sick.
People with lots of money are very pleased with their health-care. People like Congresswoman Virginia Foxx. She has the best health insurance money can buy and pays precious little for it. We subsidize it for her. She's got it for the rest of her life, along with her family.
Meanwhile, Foxx blithely denies the statistics on the uninsured. She was in a college class at Gardner-Webb's satellite campus in Statesville in March 2008 when she told the students that she didn't believe in universal health care. A nursing student asked, "Then what are you in favor of?"
This was Foxx's response, as reported in the Statesville newspaper (the article is no longer on-line, but we grabbed the quote at the time here:
...Foxx said that the number of Americans without health insurance was typically given as 47 million.
She broke that number down by saying one-third of it was made up of illegal immigrants, one-third was of those who were uninsured for only a portion of the year but not all of it, and one-third was of people who have access to insurance "but choose not to take it."
"Choose or can't afford?" another student asked.
Foxx compared health insurance to homeowner's or automobile insurance and said health insurance was initially designed for "catastrophic" events and "not for maintenance."
"A huge portion of health insurance funds go into the last 18 months of a person's life," Foxx said.
What do we make of that?
1. She's a grade-A, Olympic-size denier. The only uninsured Americans in Madam Foxx's world-view choose to be that way. Or else they're illegal immigrants and deserve to be run over in the road.
2. If you cut off your hand (a "catastrophic" event), you maybe deserve a little health insurance. But not if you have, say, adult-onset diabetes. Health insurance should not be "for maintenance." Unless it's for her and her family.
3. Old, sick people ... what a drag.
What to do about health-care reform in America? For Madam Foxx, the answer is always the easiest one: zilch. Because nothing whatsoever is wrong in the world beyond the tip of her nose.
Sen. Hagan did vote for the bill passed out of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee yesterday, which contains health insurance coverage for nearly all Americans. And is now bragging about her vote. Good for her.

They are totally in bed with Madam Foxx and the rest of her ilk in trying to bamboozle the public that any competition (remember that good ole American principle?) would not only be bad for their profit margins specifically but bad for Americanism and God and unadulterated apple pie generally!
Senator Kay Hagan is inclined to listen to Blue Cross executives more than to the rest of us, unfortunately.

Pharmaceutical Industry Loves Itself Some Sen. Hagan
As of Friday, we had thought that Sen. Hagan was on-board with a public option. But then the pharmaceutical industry starting running TV spots in N.C. praising her stand on health-care reform. Big Pharma wouldn't do that if Hagan were sincerely supporting a public option, which Big Pharma decidedly does not.
Something doesn't compute here.
And all this doubt about Hagan ain't helping her with her base. Not a whit.

Who Does Sen. Hagan Represent?
So it was not a complete shock to learn yesterday that Hagan is a key hold-out on a "public option" plan in the health-care reform bill currently being crafted by the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (HELP) Committee. In the closed committee, Hagan is refusing the public option, which the insurance companies are dead set against because they don't want the competition. But when we called her office, her legislative aide said she hasn't taken a position on the legislation and was leaning toward the "co-op plan" being pushed by Sen. Kent Conrad. Pardon our French, but the co-op plan is a mirage, something meant to placate those of us who want the choice of a public option while protecting the projected profits of the big insurance companies. And this is what Kay Hagan says she favors?
If Hagan is going to be the clod in the health-reform churn, she'll have to answer to the N.C. voters who put her in that office. So far, we're not impressed by her instincts, which seem awfully solicitous of insurance CEOs.

Impeccable Logic
Saith the senator, "We need to have FDA focus on monitoring our food, our drug safety, rather than taking on a product that I think people know is inherently unsafe."
Okay. If it's inherently unsafe, no need to regulate it, right?
Would that logic also apply, Senator, to heroin, say, or to a certain hallucinogenic salvia that the N.C. Senate intends to ban? Or to 12-year-olds getting their hands on vodka?
The actual logic behind her political decision might have a good deal more to do with not bucking a huge (and ruthless) N.C. industry, which peddles (incidentally) an inherently unsafe product.

Kay Hagan's Gut
Prior to that, her gut was telling her to sound perhaps a little more abrupt than absolutely necessary. She told an audience of journalists at Elon that President Obama's deficit spending, as projected by the Congressional Budget Office, was "completely unsustainable and unacceptable."
We don't think that was the way the people in North Carolina would want her to speak and act. We think that was the way Sen. Evan Bayh, self-anointed leader of the Senate Blue Dogs, wanted her to speak and act.
And after all that in-yer-face-Obama talk, Hagan voted yes on final passage of the Senate version of Obama's "unsustainable and unacceptable" budget. In fact, and according to the N&O's reckoning, Hagan has voted yes on every major Obama initiative so far.
Such Evan-Bayh-courting on the one hand, and such voting on the other, might tend over time to convince some of the voters that you're basically a trifling politician.

Heath Shuler for U.S. Senate?
Yesterday the Hendersonville Times-News runs a long article essentially beating the drum for Shuler to take on Burr. Shuler, after easily winning his first reelection race against a weak if not unstable opponent, seems more than willing for people to puff up his ego even further than he's puffed it up himself. "Heath the Giant Killer."
Now this morning, Public Policy Polling is up with a post seconding the Shuler nomination, saying that the only state-wide Democrat who could rival him as a winning Senate candidate would be Attorney General Roy Cooper. PPP takes it a step further by helpfully mentioning a couple of local state legislators who could handily win Shuler's House seat, if he vacates it to run for Senate. This we doubt, though PPP's statistics are impressive about how both of Shuler's potential replacements in the NC-11 did in their own reelections.
But leaving a now strong Democratic seat open in the overwhelmingly Republican NC-11 looks mighty iffy to us, though (okay, we'll admit it) we thought a candidate named Hagan had exactly no chance in 2008.

It Wasn't an Idle Threat
In the meantime, Gary Pearce recaps political libel suits from the recent past in NC. In 1988, Jim Gardner beat Tony Rand for lieutenant governor. Rand later sued Gardner over an ad that associated Rand with drug dealers, and Rand apparently won a big settlement from Gardner. Pearce says "apparently" since the case was sealed as part of the settlement.
After the election of 2000, Attorney General Roy Cooper was accused of libeling an opponent. A suit resulted, but once again any settlement is shielded from public view
Following the election of 2002, Carolyn Grant filed a similar suit against Congressman Brad Miller following Miller's first win of his seat in the 13th Congressional Dist. Miller made accusations that Grant took $40,000 from her son's college fund to buy a car. According to the Fox News candidate profile of Miller, Grant was given the right to pursue the lawsuit, but she dropped it in 2006, not, according to Pearce, before Miller was forced to spend a lot of money defending himself.

Liddy Dole's Naked Desperation
The ad, says the Observer, "is also a deliberate attempt by Dole's campaign not just to distort the truth, but to shatter Hagan's admirable record as an elder for more than a decade in Greensboro's First Presbyterian Church, as a Sunday School teacher and a volunteer in her church's fundraising campaigns, worship services and community service programs."
But here's the real question: if Dole's claim against her opponent is that Hagan doesn't believe in God and Liddy Dole DOES, we'd like very much to know what God sanctions this kind of lying. Would he be MAMMON?

Obama, Hagan Expand N.C. Leads
From the PPP press release:
Barack Obama is now out to his largest lead yet in a PPP survey of North Carolina, polling at 51% in the state compared to 44% for John McCain. Last week Obama's advantage was 49-46.
Independent voters continue to move toward Obama in droves. He now has a 51-33 lead with them. He's also now up to receiving 82% of the Democratic vote. Staying over the 80% threshold there would almost certainly ensure a victory in North Carolina.
McCain now leads among white voters just 55-39, an edge that's not nearly enough given Obama's 92-6 lead with black voters. George W. Bush won about two thirds of the white vote against both John Kerry and Al Gore in North Carolina....
In North Carolina's US Senate race challenger Kay Hagan continues to lead incumbent Elizabeth Dole, as she has now in PPP's last seven surveys of the race. Hagan's advantage is now up to 49-42. Hagan is annihilating Dole among suburban voters, 56-38. She's also shoring up her support with the key Democratic constituency of black voters, with whom she is now ahead 84-7, an improvement from 78-12 a week ago....
PPP surveyed 1,200 likely voters on October 18th and 19th. The survey's margin of error is +/- 2.8%....

"...I would not ask for your help if the circumstances were not so dire," John continues.
We know. We've been actually paying attention. Sarah Palin turned out to be a bit of a problem, right? and that Christopher Buckley endorsement of Obama was a bit of a slap.
But still, Senator, you're trying to get big bucks out of us and you don't even use the adjective "liberal" once? Not ONCE?? Just how desperate are you, anyway? And you don't even want the money yourself. You want me to send it to ... the Republican National Committee? Death by proxy?
2. Speaking of ambiguous gestures, one of our pieces (actually, we got two, which doesn't speak well about the GOP's wasteful habits) was from that selfsame Republican National Committee ... a four-color, four-page item headlined "AMERICA, The Land That I Love" ... at which point we have to turn the page to discover that Barack Obama will take away "our traditional American values." Then on the third panel, it quotes the National Journal, the very publication that yesterday accepted the resignation of Christopher Buckley for endorsing Barack Obama, because of his love of America. Ooooh. Damn inconvenient irony, that!
3. "Meet Jerry Butler," suggests a third piece, its message of friendly neighbor-over-the-fence introduction undercut somewhat by that big off-putting photo of the candidate. Eighty percent of success is good lighting, we've always heard.
4. The biggest, the glossiest four-color, four-page piece comes from The Madam, with multiple photographs of Virginia Foxx wedging herself into family reunion shots with lots of creeped-out children. If the goal here is to try to humanize the inhuman, we're afraid it doesn't quite work. While the people she's pictured with seem secure in their ordinary reality, Madam Foxx stares down the camera like a tensed up puma, waiting to spring.
5. Another big glossy mailing attacking Barack Obama, from the Republican National Committee. Looks like they've got plenty of money, John.
6. Dan Soucek, posing in his military uniform. Interesting special pleading, that. "Paid for by Soucek for NC House."
7. "Republican Dan Soucek: Proudly Pro-Life." "Paid for by the North Carolina Republican State Executive Committee."
8. through 13. Attack pieces against U.S. Senate candidate Kay Hagan (and suddenly, true political desperation has an outline). Heavy involvement here by outside groups. Three of these five pieces were paid for by the Associated Builders and Contractors Free Enterprise Alliance. One of their pieces is proud of Elizabeth Dole because she'll drill for oil everywhere immediately. The other claims that North Carolina has the highest tax burden in the Southeast and blames the patently pro-business Kay Hagan for that. (That first claim is just pure buffalo dust; the second, laughable.) The third uses "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" as though Kay Hagan were the Washington insider rather than Elizabeth Dole. The last two anti-Hagan pieces came from Freedom's Watch, which, according to Wikipedia, was formed in 2007 primarily to support the Bush administration and especially the Bush administration's policy in Iraq. Apparently, Kay Hagan is a threat to the Bush legacy.

Losing Focuses the Mind
Fetzer-Stephens' stepping back from politics might also have something to do with another of their recent clients ... Bill Graham's campaign for governor in the Republican primary earlier this year. Graham finished third.

Debates at the Beach
We like scrappy.
Dole, on the other hand, in "TV makeup," was "distinctly grande-dame -- dignified, confident, witty, and impeccably prepared."
Leslie scored it a draw.
Gov. candidate Bev Perdue didn't do as well in her debate with Pat McCrory, with the crowd of lawyers seeming to favor McCrory (though some apparently thought McCrory was a bit shallow on detail).

Is Anybody Home?
Dole runs TV spots creating the mirage that she's actually a North Carolinian, and her approval numbers go up. Meanwhile, we get only silence from Hagan.
Plus we heard a few days ago that Hagan wanted to follow the Bev Perdue primary pledge of running only a "positive campaign." Yikes.
Hagan said way back that she didn't want to run for the U.S. Senate. Guess she meant it.

Oscar Digest: For Your College Party Needs
Get ready people: Oscar parties will be happening in college apartments across campus, and to keep you prepared, I have all the latest information.
The nominees for the Oscars have been released, and the message of diversity is moving full speed ahead.
For the past two years, the Oscars have lacked diversity, sparking an #OscarsSoWhite outrage that has finally made an impact.
And, imagine this, it's done so without impacting less diverse movies as well. Crazy how that works.
In fact, the now infamous "La La Land" starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone was showered in a total of 14 nominations (which, for movie buffs, is a tie for the most nominations in Academy Award history with a little film known as "Titanic" and "All About Eve").
And just as impressively, six black actors (which is shockingly a record) were also honored with nominations. Several diverse films were honored, including "Moonlight," "Fences," and "Hidden Figures."
According to Barry Jenkins, director of "Moonlight," "It makes me feel good to see such a multifaceted group of people get recognized … It's an affirmation that the film has the power to erode barriers and reveal what makes us all human."
However, there were still quite a few snubs.
Neither Tom Hanks nor Amy Adams received a nod for their respective roles in "Sully" and "Arrival," and Martin Scorsese's "Silence" only received a nod for cinematography. And still, popular movies weren't featured on this year's list of nominees, including "Deadpool," which was a bit of a surprise.
And in terms of diversity, this is a step in the right direction, but still not enough for many. For instance, the Hispanic nominations were fairly nonexistent, and it was only Lin-Manuel Miranda that received a nod for his original song in "Moana."
Diversity is a difficult topic because there's always the risk of reverse-racism and tensions are very high during any conversation surrounding it. So for a first step, this is going to be a much less tense Oscars ceremony, but don't doubt for a second that more changes will be requested in the near future.
So brace yourself, as you can expect to hear quite a bit about diversity as this year continues on, especially in light of the protests surrounding the current President of the United States.
So tune in this February 26 with host Jimmy Kimmel to find out who takes home the biggest awards of the night and who's going to be the first to complain.

SKATES - Buying Guide and Advice

So I've been thinking of buying a new pair of skates. My current pair are Nike Quest2, which I got 10 years ago. It's starting to wear a lot and I'm guessing skate technology is improved enough to make it worthwhile getting new skates.
I'm wondering if anyone knows what current skate model they're most like. The size I'm wearing is 9EE, and while the heel fits pretty well I think there's a little too much room at the toe because I can wiggle the front of my foot side to side and inch it forward a bit. (As an aside - exactly how much room should be at the toe?)
Right now I'm looking at some higher end clearance models. The Reebok 11k and CCM U+CL are on sale locally for 350-370, Easton S17 and EQ50s are 300, and I think all of the Vapor APX line is on sale (not sure what price) because of the release of the APX2. I know that I need to try all of them on before making a decision, but is there anything I should keep an eye out for? Do any of those skates wear easily?
I would guess Nexus for the Nike comparison.
As for the sizing question, refer to the first page, where I outlined what a perfect fit for an adult would be.
All are good skates you listed and all would be a big upgrade coming from where you are. The APX would be the stiffest, followed by the S17, EQ50, U+CL and 11K. Can't go wrong with whatever fits the best. Those are great options.

ASUS Adopts 3D Motion-Control Tech for PCs/Notebooks
Tiffany Kaiser

Sender E-mail
(Source: blogs-images.forbes.com)
ASUS will use Leap Motion's controller to do so
is partnering with
Leap Motion
for new 3D motion-control notebooks and All-in-One (AIO) PCs.
Leap Motion is a startup that develops advanced motion sensing technology for human-computer interaction. The company will bundle its Leap Motion controller, which is capable of tracking movements to 1/100th millimeter with no visible lag time, with some of ASUS' notebooks and AIO PCs. The idea is to create a revolutionary new user interface on premium computers.
"Our commitment to innovation and exceptional quality drive us to provide the best technology to our consumers," said Albert Wu, Desktop Division Senior Director at ASUSTek. "Leap Motion has developed an exciting technology that will truly enhance the experience our customers have with their ASUS devices, opening a world of opportunity for personal use and business, from entertainment to architecture to education. We're proud to be one of the first companies to partner with Leap Motion."
The Leap Motion controller can also track individual fingers on a hand at 290 frames per second with a 150-degree field of view. This will allow users with certain upcoming ASUS computers to interact with their devices unlike ever before.
"As OEMs adopt
3-D motion
control technology, they're spurring a rapid evolution in computer interface innovations and helping free the full power and potential of computing for consumers," said Leap Motion co-founder and CEO Michael Buckwald. "This historic partnership with ASUS is an important step in building global adoption of the new computing paradigm Leap Motion's technology offers. We're delighted that ASUS shares our outlook on the future of human/computer interaction."
ASUS is already a
big player in the PC and tablet realm
. In October 2012, the company reported favorable earnings and sales for the third quarter including
5 million notebook PC shipments (up 14 percent) and 2.3 million tablet PC shipments (up 287.5 percent).
ASUS also noted that it holds 7.3 percent of the personal computer market.
"We are going to continue to work with them to make sure they understand the reality of the Internet. A lot of these people don't have Ph.Ds, and they don't have a degree in computer science." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

Fuerza Pública officers have confiscated two more loads of fireworks that came from the southern border. The explosives were on buses, which caused police to express concern.
They said there were at least 19,000 units.
Police located the fireworks at the Guaycará de Golfito checkpoint some 35 kilometers north of the border. One of the buses carried passengers on a private shopping trip and was headed back to Puntarenas.
Police said that some of the fireworks were in a basket atop the bus and exposed to the hot sun.
Some of the confiscated devices were rockets with the explosive equivalent of a quarter stick of dynamite, police said.
A passenger in the second bus carried about 3,000 units of fireworks, police said.
At the same time police said they confiscated about 1 million colons worth of contraband clothing and shoes.

When he picks up bad words, laugh at him, and let him think that it is cute. This will also encourage him to pick up even cuter phrases that will blow off the top of your head later on.
Never give him any spiritual training. Wait until he is 21 years old and then let him decide for himself.
Avoid the use of the word "wrong". He may develop a guilt complex, and that would damage the child's psyche and self-esteem. This will condition him later on, when he steals a car, that society is against him and that he is being persecuted.
Pick up everything he leaves lying around…like books, shoes, and clothing. Do everything for him so he will be experienced in throwing all the responsibility on all other people, except himself.
Let him read any printed matter that he can get his hands on, and see all the movies, television, and videos he wants. Be careful, of course, that the silverware and drinking glasses are sterilized, but let his mind feast on all the garbage he wants to put into it.
Quarrel frequently in front of your children. This way, they will not be too shocked when the home is broken up later on.
Give a child all the spending money he wants. Never let him earn his own. Why should he have things as tough as you had them when you were a kid.
Satisfy his every craving for food, drink, comfort, and things. See that every sensual desire is gratified, because denial might lead to harmful frustration.
Take his side against neighbors, teachers, and policeman, because they are all prejudice against your child…everyone knows that.
When he gets into real trouble, apologize for yourself by saying, "I never could do anything with him."
Prepare for a life of grief…you earned it!

Ah, but in law school, I only really have 5 minutes to recover from the stress before I need to work on another set of hurdle. Tomorrow, I'll be taking my legal profession exam. It's actually a very enlightening subject with the most interesting set of case laws. Some lawyers are complete a-holes. Like seriously... I have more thoughts about this but I don't want to end up sounding preachy. I just literally took a break from all the reading before I go back to memorizing. My back's been hurting a lot lately and it's most likely because of my scoliosis. I've been looking into some pretty trolleys from trusted luggage brands. Naturally, I'd first look at what's up in Rimowa.
This luggage in ecru is so adorbs and professional at the same time. But nope for the price. At my pauper, and literally starving student state, a Rimowa luggage is out of the question.
One day, one day. But for now, salivating over this piece will have to do. That, or slaving over my books will. Cheers.

More Seattle restaurants close doors as $15 minimum wage approaches As that date approaches, restaurants across the city are making the.
Discussion More Seattle restaurants close doors as $15 minimum wage approaches Life, The Universe, and Politics....
More seattle restaurants close doors minimum wage approaches - journey SeoulWatch the hilarity ensue. Any plan that makes hiring a worker more expensive than in France should be cause for concern. Crowdsourcing produces quick, innovative solutions. Seattle will see a drop in economic activity and a corresponding drop in tax revenue. Market forces change and just because a certain amount of money was spent on an item last month does not mean the same amount of money will be spent on that item this month. This is the real world and not socialist la la land. Can you even clean your own house without having a housekeeper or maid do it for you?
I live in Vancouver, Canada. No planner or bleeding heart can make paying for a task at a loss worth it, regardless if this task is done by a person or not. They should always be perfectly willing to change based on new information. Clearly those employees are much better off with no job and no income. I find it especially funny that you mention capitalism as a hammer when you support little about its nature. Weeding out the slave drivers. Many businesses are closing down because of the raises and the ones left will raise their siroy.info the prices are raised,fewer people will patronize the restaurants,fewer people mean layoffs!!!!! Happy people, economies doing. Was that a big industry? It is soft bigotry at best. But keep believing that right wing talking point nonsense and see where it gets you. Research watch boha guitar hero styles trick is to only use the small packages of ketchup. Higher education isnt free. Building arguments on best-case scenarios such as full tables and quick turnover does not reflect the average business which at that level and below will be the most affected. They take in income, and pay taxes on their income, just like I take in my income and nationwide building society flexplus taxes on. With a son in college at this moment, I am constantly amazed at the stupidity spewing forth from these supposedly learned teachers.
How Does the Minimum Wage Work?
More seattle restaurants close doors minimum wage approaches - going
The jobs need to be there first. I know that when I apply to any job I never get a call back, but my work experience is good, and my Resume is professional. Class envy and misplaced emotional ideology does not make sense to the long term health of a business or its employees, regardless what the self-absorbed political masters and their sheep purport to be true. Miserable people love company, and obviously you are miserable. Believe me, it has not been lost on thos pushing this that it will likely drive demand for more socal service workers all SEIU members in this state, a union that makes HUGE contriubtions to the far left to process the additional welfare applications. With a son in college at this moment, I am constantly amazed at the stupidity spewing forth from these supposedly learned teachers. In Seattle, restaurants are announcing they are closing BEFORE the minimum wage increase takes effect. Actually no, TestSalad is correct.

Food for ThoughtNov. 20th, 2015 07:15 pm
"Temperament does not predestine one man to sanctity and another to reprobation. All temperaments can serve as the material for ruin or for salvation…It does not matter how poor or how difficult a temperament we may be endowed with. If we make good use of what we have, if we make it serve our good desires, we can do better than another who merely serves his temperament instead of making it serve him."
-Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude

Bluewater Canadian Cancer Society year in review
January 11, 2016
To Comment on this article Click Here
As 2015 has come to an end, I would like to take this opportunity to express a sincere thank you to Brocton and the surrounding area. Over the past year, your community has shown its continued support to the Canadian Cancer Society through generous donations and fundraising efforts.
Through Relay For Life, Heroes for Hope (formally Cops For Cancer), Daffodils, Pigs of Hope, and The Longest Day of Golf, this community raised almost $100,000! These funds help to fulfill the Canadian Cancer Society's mission of funding life-saving cancer research and helping people in our community with cancer now through our local support services.
The Canadian Cancer Society is not only the largest national charitable funder of cancer research in Canada, it makes more impact, against more cancers, in more communities, than any other cancer charity in Canada.
When you consider that $100,000 is the equivalent to funding a Canadian Cancer Society research grant, your generosity will have a significant impact bringing us closer to a day when no one needs to fear this disease.
Because of the support of communities like Walkerton, last year across Grey Bruce, the Canadian Cancer Society was able to provide the following local services:
* Peer Support Service - 34 local people diagnosed with cancer, or their caregivers, were connected to volunteers who've had cancer or cared for a loved one with cancer. Bluewater had 7 local Peer Support volunteers helping people across Canada.
* Wheels of Hope - 115 volunteer drivers travelled 749,349 kms to provide 5,907 safe rides to cancer-related appointments for 425 people diagnosed with cancer. Transportation assistance was also provided to 11 families of children with cancer for 156 trips to treatment.
* Smokers' Helpline offered support, advice and information to 74 local people about quitting tobacco use.
* Cancer Information Service provided answers to questions about all types of cancer and many other cancer-related topics to 369 local people through our confidential, toll-free line at 1-888-939-3333.
Of course, this could not be accomplished without the hard work of our dedicated volunteers who not only fundraise, but also provide many of the local services.
A special mention goes to the students at Sacred Heart High School who walked the track and raised over $38,000 at their Relay For Life.
Also to Joe Rys and his volunteers, who in June held the Longest Day of Golf at Walkerton Golf and Curling Club. This annual event has been running since 1994 and this year the total raised for the fight against cancer was over $57,000.
Elizabeth Braden spearheaded the Daffodil campaign, and with Florence Gutscher, the Pigs Of Hope. Gerri Rapp for organizing Heroes for Hope and of course all of the Wheels of Hope volunteer drivers who transport cancer patients to treatment and back.
To all of you who have supported the
Canadian Cancer Society through donations or your time, we thank you
and look forward to another great year in 2016.

I'm not going to say too much about this because it's all here on this video. I love short films and I love stop-frame animation, for years. Though I have the means, although basic, I've yet to try it myself. But not pin screen animation.
Pin screen animation has been around since the 1930s but I've just become aware of it. It comprises a screen, or matrix, of tiny retractable pins each contained within a tube. The pins can be drawn out of their tube by a mere 5mm to cast shadows which collectively and seen from a distance, render a tonal image.
Enough of me. The wonderful animator, Michèle Lemieux, pictured left at her pin screen, describes it beautifully in this video on the making of her latest work, Here and the Great Elsewhere (link below). I hope it delights you as much as it did me.

This is what my patients have to say:
Helen: "I have suffered with pain and stiffness in my joints and muscles for the last few years which was aggravated by a car accident. After just three osteopathy sessions I felt like I had been given a new lease of life. I am now largely pain free and with each session I look forward to further improvement in flexibility. Thank you Rebecca!"
Diane: "Thank you so much for helping me with all my aches and pains and getting me walking properly again!"
Huw: "Being 6'6″ tall and not having the best posture, I've suffered with problems in my legs and lower back. With a few osteopathy sessions the majority of the pain has gone and this has allowed me to take part in a couple of charitable running events. I'm not built for running, but I could not have started any event without your treatment. Thank you "
Rob: "Having ridden motorcycles since the late seventies and crashed them fairly frequently I have had problems with my neck and shoulders…this has also not been helped by tattooing at various angles over the last twenty years…Rebecca has dealt with these superbly, tattooing today had none of the usual aches and pains, I cannot believe the fluidity of my neck muscles and less tension in my shoulders, outstanding"
If you would like to share your experiences then please feel free to fill out the form below. With your permission I would like to publish your name and comments on my website. Thank you.

mrv1y: Month Clebsch-Gordon Coefficient Table
One-month time series (mrvmt) are merged into 3-month sets, centered on the second month. The time series are then transformed into the frequency domain using PSERIES. This creates power spectra, which are subsequently run through PEAKFIND, to find the mode frequencies. These are stored as STSDAS tables, which are then processed using PKWORKS, which weeds out leaks and bad fits using the rejection criteria outlined in the sample table provided. PKWORKS uses these files to construct a-coefficient tables, such as the mrv1y, mrv1z and mrv1j data products. The mrv1y files are a set of Clebsch-Gordon rotation coefficients for each [n,l] combination where there is sufficient good data. The relationship between the mode frequencies (mrv1f files) and Clebsch-Gordon coefficients (mrv1y files) is illustrated below:

Stop the presses, America's favorite bachelor, Dean Paul Lockhart is getting married! For Lara Ward, it's a reason to go wild. The class act has her own party planning firm, a devoted maid, and a fabulous Manhattan apartment. What she doesn't have is a man. But when she spies Joaquin Cruz, the fireball Latin polo player with a rep for burning up the sheets, she sees her chance to really let go--and how... For society shutterbug Babe Mancini, it means revenge. Snapping candids of the rich, famous, and glamorous for glossy mag 212 has taught her the power of the right picture. And she's got some very personal photos of Dean Paul that her new beau, cable news hell raiser Jake James, would love to take public... For Gabrielle Foster, it's time to panic.

VirginiaSports.com Release on U.S. Women's Amateur | U.S. Women's Amateur Website | UVA Statistics for 2015-16 | VSTV Women's Golf Page | Twitter: @JeffWhiteUVa | Subscribe to White's Articles
CHARLOTTESVILLE -- In late June, at Kenwood Golf & Country Club in Bethesda, Md., Lyndsey Hunnell and Maho Hayakawa qualified for one of their sport's storied events.
About three weeks later, Anna Redding and Morgan Gonzales followed suit at Sapona Ridge Country Club in Lexington, N.C.
Starting Monday, those four University of Virginia golfers will compete in the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship in Springfield, Pa., near Philadelphia.
Also in the 156-player field at Rolling Green Golf Club is a former Cavalier, Lauren Greenlief, who earned an exemption by winning the U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur last year. (Another former Wahoo, Brittany Altomare, finished 58th at the Women's British Open on Sunday. Altomare was the first golfer from UVA to compete in that tournament.)
All of which makes this a historic week for UVA head coach Kim Lewellen, who's never before had so many of her players in the same U.S. Amateur.
"It's an incredible feat for our program," Lewellen said. "It's shows how deep and strong our team is. I'm excited for these four to go out and play together. They get along well, they're good friends, so they're just going to have an enjoyable time out there while competing on such a national platform.
"It's exciting to see those players playing well in the summer, and I'm hoping that it'll translate into our fall [play], but more importantly our spring season."
There will be 18 holes of stroke play on Monday and again on Tuesday, after which the field will be cut to 64 players for match play.
Redding and Gonzales helped the Cavaliers repeat as ACC champions and advance to the NCAA quarterfinals last season. As sophomores in 2016-17, they will be among the team's leaders, along with senior Lauren Diaz-Yi.
"Having been through [postseason pressure] as first-years, that instantly makes them a lot older," Lewellen said. "They're on-board. They understand the program and where we all want it to get to. We expect them to do that, and they're stepping up at the right time when we need them."
Hunnell will be a redshirt sophomore and Hayawaka a junior in 2016-17. Virginia must replace two All-Americans, Lauren Coughlin and Elizabeth Szokol, and so "we need players like Lyndsey and Maho to come in and work hard and earn those spots," Lewellen said. "This summer is very big for them."
In the U.S. Amateur qualifier June 28 in Bethesda, Hunnell shot 71 and Hayakawa 72.
After redshirting in 2014-15, Hunnell did not compete in any tournaments for the `Hoos last season.
"We were still working on getting her a little bit older and stronger," Lewellen said. "And so for her to come in and play in the qualifier like she did and then play on this national stage, this is going to be biggest event that she's played in."
Hayakawa did not represent Virginia in any tournaments last season, either, though she played in one as an individual.
"She's a phenomenal player," Lewellen said, "and we've just been sort of grooming her for competition for the next two years here at UVA. I think she'll do really well."
At the U.S. Amateur qualifier in Lexington, Redding shot 68 on July 18 to tie for second behind medalist Nasa Hataoka. Gonzales' road to Rolling Green included more drama.
She shot 72, which left her in an eight-way tie for the final qualifying slot. Redding had finished her round hours earlier, and she provided more than emotional support for Gonzales in the playoff. Redding caddied for her UVA teammate.
One of the eight players, Redding said, could not stay for the playoff. So seven players teed off, and three of them, including Gonzales, birdied the first playoff hole to advance.
On the second playoff hole, Gonzales produced the only birdie, sewing up her invitation to the U.S. Amateur and earning a congratulatory hug from Redding, who also was wearing UVA gear.
"There weren't very many people out there," Redding recalled with a laugh. "It was so late in the day, I was the only one clapping."
To be in the U.S. Amateur field with three teammates, Redding said, "is incredible. I hope we all do well and can bond over this experience and bring it back to UVA. I hope it brings momentum when we all get back to Charlottesville. It's amazing."

This past Friday (8/4/17) I had the honor and privilege of getting back out and shooting bands/music again. One of my besties Daphne is back and man, lemme tell ya, you aren't ready 😉
Unfortunately, I arrived too late to get some shots of Bearheart (I'll catch you next time I swear). Upon arrival I went backstage to see Exit/In.
Soon after, People on the Porch took the stage. If you haven't heard them you should, because I promise you haven't heard anything like them!

Roanoke was up next and I cannot even describe how impressive they were. Their cover of "The Chain" just about blew me away…
After that it was time for Daphne and the Mystery Machines!

Begun in 1840 as "Breeder's Day", a meeting for mule breeders, it now attracts over 200,000 people and takes place over four days. In addition to mules, traditional Appalachian food, music, dancing, and crafts are featured.

It's that time of year again.
The time of year that we all start squabbling over the Six Nations trophy like we're a group of kids bickering over a toy garage.
And what an exciting tournament this is set up to be! With the shouts and cries of the World Cup still ringing in our ears, we push on through the madness into a bright new season, filled with fresh talent and fresh blood.
The start of the Six Nations always gets the international rugby blood pumping. An undeniably exciting tournament, it's almost always an open competition.
And, delightfully, it's getting more open. Scotland, a team who have spend many years lagging behind, proved in the RWC last year that they're on their way up. After solid wins over Japan and USA, Scotland showed that they're no longer relying on their kicking by beating a hefty Samoan side.
Scotland have long been a favourite side of mine (I can't help but root for the underdog) and I'll definitely be rooting for them in their clash against England this opening weekend. What can I say? Old rivalries die hard.
England themselves are the victims are a lot of scrutiny. With the controversial appointment of Dylan Hartley as captain and Eddie Jones at the new coach, England are under pressure to perform. A very disappointing World Cup could have been the ashes that a new, fiery England rise out of.
France leveled Wales in terms of progress in the RWC so it seems pretty likely they'll be performing well. However, France are famously temperamental and Italy have been known to cause an upset for them. To write off Italy would be foolish, especially with supurb seasoned players like Castrogiovanni and Parisse.
And so we come to Ireland v Wales. For Wales, the men in green are always a sign for caution. The clash is always close and I doubt this year it will be any different. Wales are looking strong and confident, despite the curly-haired, baby-faced shape hole in their team. Wales' RWC campaign wasn't a complete triumph, but neither was it a cause for shame. After an incredible injury struggle, Wales performed with bravery and heart – something we Welsh cherish even more than a victory.
For me, Ireland are the favourites going in. In the RWC, they pushed ahead further than any other Northern Hemisphere side which surely sets them ahead of everyone else. As much as I would love to say that I'm sure Wales will beat them, I can't. Ireland are a formidable force that is impossible ignore.
But I am sure that Wales will rise to the challenge. In past few years, Wales seem to perform better when faced with a side that is equal or greater than them. I think it stems from the idea that Wales are far more comfortable being the underdogs with nothing to lose than being the favourites on the edge of falling from grace.
So whatever your team, I hope you have an absolutely swell opening weekend! Enjoy the ecstatic highs and the crushing disappointments that come with the Six Nations.
See you on the other side!
