Jim Furyk Finds Justice
By mustang6560 on 9/1/10
Good news for Jim Furyk.
The PGA Tour has suspended its rule that kept Jim Furyk from playing in last week's Barclays tournament because he overslept and missed his tee time for the pre-tournament pro-am.I think it was a smart move by Tim Finchem and the PGA Tour to handle similar issues in the future as a disciplinary matter rather than an automatic disqualification for a couple reasons.
First, the rule was first put in place back in 2004 to penalize PGA Players because too many were skipping the pro-am, which is a major source of revenue. Jim clearly did not purposely try to skip this tournament. Remember the sockless, beltless Furyk scurrying about trying to get to his tee box? Second, this rule doesn't apply to everyone. Only about half of the field is required to play the pro-am so why have a rule that is only enforceable for every other player?
The PGA Tour will not make any permanent decisions until The Player's Advisory Council and player directors meet later in the year to discuss the pro-am rules.
Furyk was No. 3 in the FedEx Cup Standings going into The Barclays, but dropped down to No. 8 after missing the tournament. He still has a chance to win as the second round of the PGA Playoffs is set to get underway in Boston tomorrow at the Deutsche Bank Championship.
Not gonna lie, I'm rooting for ole Furyk as I think it would be awesome to see him win the $10 million after not even playing in the first round!

Banker85 says:
so they suspend the rule after they impose the rule on Furyk?! that makes no sense. Like saying its illegal to chew bubble gum today and arresting someone and tomorrow saying its ok to chew bubble gum but keeping that first person in jail. im not that good wi/ analogies.
erickbelus says:
It's their way of saying "sorry we totally screwed the pooch on that one". It always takes something terrible to make a stupid rule go by the wayside.
homermania says:
I'm curious to know which half of the field is required to play the pro-am. That seems weird in itself.
mustang6560 says:
I see the analogy more like this. SMU's football program got the death penalty back in the 1980's for cheating. It severely damaged the program and it's only now coming back. The NCAA saw how badly it messed up and (probably) won't ever do that to any other program no matter the level of cheating (because it happens everywhere - hello USCheaters). That being said, they can't go back in time and change the outcome for SMU. They just have to cope. Jim Furyk is SOL, but hopefully nobody else will have to go through what Jim did in the future.
mjaber says:
I think the rule needs to be modified. If the player makes a concerted effort to get there, he's OK. Maybe a fine for repeatedly being late. Define "late" as the group he's supposed to be playing in has completed their first hole, or reached the green. If he just plain doesn't show, then the DQ.
Bryan K says:
Being late for a tee time? Is that even allowed?
The only issue I see here is that only half of the players are required to play the Pro Am. However, the way I look at it...if you're late for a tee time, then disqualification is certainly justified. If you're late for a tee time with me, chances are very likely that you won't be playing with me again any time in the near future.
birdieXris says:
@ Bryan - he was late for a pro-am tee time. By like 5 mins. I don't think disqualification is a fitting sentence for that, especially since the rule is there to protect the sponsor and provide for the player who is playing with them. That being said, if they disqualify him, the sponsor is now left with no star, and the amateur is left with no partner. Let's not even get into it that this is a pro-am. I mean, it's like a warm up for these guys. DQ? no. Fine? yea ok, probably a better idea. True though, if you're late for your actual tee time at the tournament, you're DQ'd.
sigmapete1 says:
Did they let him join the round in progress? If I was the guy that paid to play with him, I'd be wayyyy more pissed at the PGA than Furyk. I mean let the guy join at the second hole so the amateur can play 17 holes with Jim Furyk rather than play with himself!!
carv712 says:
Let's not compare Saturday morning hacking at Minnesota Municipal to a $10,000,000.00 tournament of the world's best players. Guys like us pay to play golf; these guys get paid to entertain guys like us. It's their job, so a better analogy would be if you were 5 minutes late to work so the boss suspended you for a week without pay. Worst of all for Furyk gets the opposite of justice since he gets burned for a rule that from now on the other players aren't subject to. So if another player skips the pro-am this or next week they don't drop 5 spots down the FedEx cup standings. Good call PGA! <----sarcasm
Bryan K says:
Xris and sigmapete:...you both make good points. I wasn't aware of what, exactly, a Pro Am was or what it entailed. However, @carv712, no way in hell I would pay to watch someone play golf. I might pay extra to play with someone of Furyk's caliber, but I wouldn't pay to watch.
jev says:
Rule 6-3 states DQ from the current game is the penalty for being late, but there's a note allowing the committee to waive the DQ and penalize the player 2 strokes if he's on the tee within 5 minutes after the starting time. This indicates to me such a DQ is considered often too harsh by the R&A / USGA as it is. In this light, the PGA rule to DQ the player from the real tournament certainly seems to be unnecessary harsh to me. So, a good decision to drop this rule IMHO. A fine would be acceptable I guess.
carv712 says:
@Bryan Kautzman, I'm just saying this is Furyk's job, not recreation like it is for hacks like us. We don't do the paying, but he is paid to golf.
cjgiant says:
@carv712 - if my first offense for being 5 minutes late to work was a suspension (let's assume this is my and Furyk's first offense in 5+ years), and I get suspended a week, I'd think it the most strict job in the world. Yes, these guys are paid quite a lot to do their "job", but come on! No one is perfect.
As such, I think the DQ rule is over the top for a first offense for being a little late. A significant fine would be good; how about matching the amatuer entry fee per hole missed up to three holes, at which point you are considered a no-show and DQ'd (on top of fine). Increasing the penalty per offense (2x) makes sense (up to and including DQ at let's say a 3rd offense).
Trav says:
This rule was waived because sponsors - the guys who actually pay the big bucks for a chance to get some marketing - were not happy that some of their clients paid $10K apiece to play with Furyk for 18 holes but were denied that privilege because of silly rule interpretation when he was 5 minutes late, trying to get to the tee, and then burned a new one for Finchem. Finchem and the tour are fortunate to hold onto every sponsor they can these days - especially reputable ones (anyone heard from Stanford Group lately?)
Nothing makes people act reasonable quicker than a pointed call from the hand that feeds them.
The Tour has a legitimate concern that players not blow off pro-ams, but this does not entitle them to enact mindlessly rigid and over-reactive rules allowing no leeway regardless of the facts.
Clint24 says:
I dont understand this. Ok, they suspended the rule so noone else will have to play in the pro-am for the rest of the year, but how are they to make this up to Jim? He was already DQ'd, you cant go back in time and let him play, or just say he finished here, and is here on the FedEx Cup standings. Thats not fair to the guys that played. I hate it when something like this happens. Its a lose-lose situation. Jim already lost his chance to play last week, and now many of the pro-ams are going to lose more of the pros that decide to take advandage of the rule being suspended.
Someone, please let me know if I'm wrong. I'm not an expert by any means on these rules.
mustang6560 says:
If your slated to play in the pro-am and miss your tee time completely without a valid excuse then you are DQ'd from the tournament. However, if you are running a little late they aren't going to DQ you. Had this been in effect for Jim, they would have let him play instead of DQ'ing him for the whole tourney.
mjaber says:
Apparently, there is a second part to this rule where guys in the Top 30 can opt-out of the Pro Am. They are still required to do some corporate schmoozing, though. Mickelson pulled this one out of his bag of tricks for this weeks tourney. Instead of playing th Pro Am, he's having dinner with some of the corporate execs.
I wonder what the time frame is to opt-out. Could Furyk have pulled this stunt, and played last week?
carv712 says:
I'd guess 15 minutes before your scheduled tee time is too late to opt-out of a pro-am.

Proclamation of 1763
Townshend Acts
American Revolution Timeline
French Indian War and its Effects
Britain and France struggled over control of North America; both countries had power
over quite a bit of land. Ultimately the two great nations clashed, not just inside of North American, but also throughout the world; battling for control of an empire. Britain overpowered France, however, Britain was now in debt. They decided to remove Salutary Neglect which was a very lucrative decisions;the colonies however were unaccustomed to Britain being so hands on and involved, and were much more used to their system of self-governing. Also, after the French and Indian War there was still the threat of rebelling Native Tribes; the British stationed soldiers within America, but this meant that American colonist had to maintain the soldiers. Both of these things combined led to the colonists being angry and uncomfortable with Britain's imposing power.
The Townshend Acts were implemented by Charles
Townshend, chancellor who was unsympathetic towards the American Colonies. Townshend imposed duties (or taxations) on paper, paint, glass and tea; important Colonial imports. Most of the money from these taxes were used to fund Britain. The colonists protested against the duties; and in retaliation Charles Townshend imposed the
Restraining Act
which essentially could take away the Colonies ability to self govern. Colonists were unhappy with the idea that they could lose control over themselves; the act was a reminder to them that Britain could control them if they so desired. This display of power would ultimately lead to the colonists revolt against England; the act simply served as a catalyst to light the fires of anger.
Stamp Act
On March 22, 1765, the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act. Which imposed taxes on all printed items in the North American colonies.. The whole point of the Stamp Act was to raise money to protect and defend the North American colonies. Benjamin Franklin, who was representing the North American colonies, suggested that colonist would follow the act if they were allowed to be members in the legislature. The British parliament rejected Franklin's suggestion. This event led the colonist to want their independence from Britain because they were not being represented and were being taken advantage of.
Quartering Act
Sugar Act
The Sugar Act of 1764 was created to replace the completely ignored Molasses Act. The Sugar Act placed a tax of 3 pence per pound on French Molasses. The previous Molasses Act was 6 pence per pound.
Boston Tea Party
Coercive Acts
The Sons of Liberty, a patriot group led by Samuel Adams, organized a riot in protest of
the outrageous taxes from the British on items such as tea, chocolate, coffee and other items, stating that there should be, ''No taxation without representation''. The Sons of Liberty took crates of tea off of an export boat to Britain that they knew they would be taxed for, and dumped the tea into the Boston Harbor. In attempt to disguise themselves so not to be recognized, the Sons of Liberty wore Native American headdresses and sneaked to the Harbor at night.
December 16, 1773
The first in this series, The Boston Port Act, closed the Boston Harbor for use until the already heavily taxed colonists paid for the damages done to the harbor during the tea party.
In the Proclamation of 1763, the colonist were not allowed to settle west of the Appalachian mountains. If the colonist were settled in the west of the Appalachian mountains they were forced to leave and settle in a place were they were allowed.
Four legal acts initiated by the British Government, called, ''The Coercive Acts'', were a punishment and response to the Bostonian for the Boston Tea Party.
The Administration of Justice Act made British officials in Massachusetts immune to prosecution.
Other acts in this series included the Quebec Act, the Quartering Act and the Massachusetts Act.
The Sugar Act resurrected the colonists old fear of British control because the colonies were already subject to the Navigation Acts, which restricted their manufactures and commerce.
The Quartering Act was implemented in 1765. It stated
that colonists had to board and harbor British soldiers and mercenaries. Boarding these men was not only expensive for the colonial families but they were often forced to house the men against there will. The soldiers were invading the homes of the colonists, leading to resentment towards Britain and the Red Coats.
Boston Massacre
This angered the colonist because they were prohibited from moving to the west. It also angered some of the colonist because they were already living west of the Appalachian and were forced to leave and settle east of the mountains.
Boston was having friction over constitutional principles and the struggle for residents to get jobs because of off-duty soldiers when in March 1770, British soldiers fired into a rowdy crowd of demonstrators, killing five men. Radical Whigs labeled the incident as a "massacre" and told the press the British had planned the killings.
Battle of Lexington
The Battles of Lexington and Concord, fought on April 19, 1775, kicked off the American Revolutionary War. The British marched towards Lexington to destroy a arms cache, when they approached they were confronted by local Milita. "The Shot Heard Round The World" was fired as a small skirmish ensued. This was the breaking point for the Colonists, and launched the country into the War.

Dogs Trust has teamed up with Vetfone to offer its members unlimited access to professional veterinary advice over the telephone.
The service has been put in place due to concerns that pet health could be put at risk as owners avoid vet visits to cut costs during the credit crunch.
As well as providing dog owners without insurance valuable support and advice, the service will also potentially save money for those dog owners who already have existing insurance in place.
Owners are advised on those occasions when their dog needs to see the vet without delay and when perhaps a period of observation and TLC is more appropriate, so giving them peace of mind.
Michael Maltby, Director of Vetfone, said: "Four out of ten of the calls that we receive require advice and reassurance rather than advising an immediate vet visit is required. This means that by providing this additional service we give a way to reduce the burden of unnecessary work on the vet and its associated expense on the owner – a typical vet appointment will cost at least 25 even before any medication is prescribed (out of hours consultations will be considerably more)."
The Vetfone service is available to Dogs Trust members 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All calls are answered by fully qualified RCVS registered Veterinary Nurses who will be able to give callers immediate advice on whether their pet needs to see a vet and if so how quickly, as well as answering all those many questions and worries that seem to arise when you want the best for your dog.
Clarissa Baldwin, Chief Executive of Dogs Trust, said: "We would always advise people to get pet insurance if they can, but do recognise that in these times of financial difficulty, many are finding it a struggle to make ends meet. Just 29 per cent of dog owners in theUKcurrently have insurance for their pets and we are concerned that more will cancel their policies as belts are tightened, particularly owners with more than one dog.
"The Vetfone service is the perfect solution for people in this situation. It gives them access to professional advice and can prevent unnecessary (and expensive) trips to the vet."
For just 20 a year, or 10 if you are 60 years old or over, the Dogs Trust Membership benefits also include free third party insurance up to 1,000,000 cover if your dog causes an accident, damage or injury to another person, their property or an animal – a valuable addition for anyone having to go back to the workplace and thinking of taking their dog to the office with them.
Anyone interested in the Dogs Trust membership package, should call 020 7837 006 or visitwww.dogstrust.org.ukfor further information.Calls to Vetfone, from aUKlandline, are charged at the rate of a local call. The cost of calls from a mobile will vary.There is an excess of 200 per insurance claim in the UK or 500 excess for claims in the Republic of Ireland.

Doreen Lawrence, mother of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence, has described how she had to hold herself back from screaming when her son's killers were found guilty.
Stephen was stabbed to death in 1993 by a racist gang in Eltham, south London, at the age of 18. Gary Dobson and David Norris were finally brought to justice for his killing this year.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, broadcast today, Mrs Lawrence says: "During the trial I couldn't read the jury, I couldn't tell. And so my heart was in my mouth when we went back downstairs, and when they said 'guilty' I suppose I had to hold myself in from screaming out or anything because... I never thought I'd hear those words – that someone's been found guilty of Stephen's death."
She says the news has still yet to sink in: "The reality hasn't really hit me because I think for so long you've waited for that moment."
Since her son's death Mrs Lawrence has campaigned for victims of racist crime and the reform of the police service. But she says that she would swap her OBE "just to have my son back".

The popular holiday destination of north Queensland has been gripped by an epidemic of dengue fever, the debilitating and sometimes fatal disease more usually associated with Third World countries.
In the tourist centre of Cairns, gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, 226 people have been infected including babies and young children, with another 31 cases in Townsville, 200 miles down the coast. Two nasty strains of the virus are circulating, and health authorities say they have never known the disease to spread so fast.
The state government will hand out free mosquito repellent in schools this week, and has warned residents to watch out for stagnant water in their backyards where the dengue-carrying mosquitoes breed. Roving extermination teams have been dispatched to spray parks, schools and caravan sites, and authorities have launched a radio and television campaign aimed to raise awareness. The government fears this summer could be worse than 2004, when more than 800 cases were recorded, and two people died. Usually the dengue season does not start until February, the height of the wet season. This summer, it began in November.
Environmental health officers warn that anywhere water collects is a potential breeding site: plant pots, buckets, birdbaths, wheelbarrows, blocked gutters and old tyres. Water tanks, which Australians have taken to installing to counter the long drought, are also a problem if not properly sealed. In one case, mosquito larvae were found in a small indentation at the top of a candle.
About 20 new cases are being reported in north Queensland every day, and doctors say victims are falling sick more quickly than usual, and getting sicker. Hospitals are struggling to cope, and blood supplies are running low because blood donated in affected areas has limited use.

Can't read music? No problem! Owow is a new breed of musical instrument that promises to be simple to play but tricky to master.
Despite the fact Pieter-Jan Pieters was an accomplished digital musician, he was turned down from music academy because he couldn't read sheet music. Instead of getting mad, he decided to get even, and prove that you don't need such an archaic skill. And so he set about creating Owow, a new type of musical instrument.
The range consists of five instruments, each available in two finishes: one with a high-end aluminium case, and a cheaper one with a bare circuit board.
Wob looks a bit like a round light switch. You play it by waving your hand up and down. Wiggle, meanwhile, resembles a remote control, and makes different sounds depending on how you rotate your hand.
Drum looks quite like Wiggle, but lets you make sound by hitting the air. That's right, air drumming is now a thing. Pads is a credit card-sized drum pad, while Scan lets you draw dots or lines to make music.
There you go. Not exactly classical instruments, but each looks very simple to play and surprisingly versatile. And they're affordable too – prices start at €49 for the basic version of some of them.

All work with your computer to lay down tracks with software like Ableton, Logic, Pro Tools and Reason.
It's raised €15,000 of a €50,000 target, and still has 19 days to go. Let's hope it succeeds as a shot in the eye to all the traditional musos out there.

Mike, You voted delete at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Template:pnc, but you expressed some optimism for a better version of the template, with a consensus at WP:N. I pushed this template really hard in order to generate some discussion. My experience is that unless something shows up in the actual text it just doesn't get real attention at the talk pages. The text as written is not specifically to my liking, but I feel that we now have the momentum to reach a consensus on the language, if we can preserve the concept of the template past this deletion process.

India Forex Advisors/Market Commentary/8th_November_2011
Technical Outlook:
EUR/USD: EUR is currently trading at 1.3762 levels. Euro weakened vs. the US dollar before Italian Prime Minister faces a budget vote amid pressure to quit and surging borrowing costs in Italy's bonds, increasing concerns that the Euro zone debt crisis is worsening. Support is seen at 1.3711 levels and strong resistance is seen at 1.3825 levels (21 and 55 days daily EMA). EUR/INR is at 67.78 levels. Exporters can cover short to medium term exposure between 1.37-1.40 levels in EUR/USD leg only while Importers can cover exposure at 66.50 levels and below.

GBP/USD: GBP is currently trading at 1.6051 levels. The cable is positive vs. the US dollar and the Euro as weakening Euro and worsening Euro zone debt crisis along with better than expected UK's Halifax HPI m/m data yesterday has increased the cable's demand as an alternative currency in the region. Support is seen at 1.5957 levels (100 days daily EMA) and resistance is seen at around 1.6128 levels. GBP/INR (79.06) Exporters can cover short term exposure at current levels and slightly higher while the short term importers can cover on dips towards 76.00 and below levels.

Outlook: Short Term slight Bearish and Medium Term: Maintain bearish for the pair. Target 80 levels almost achieved. Next target 76 again.
AUD/USD: The commodity currency is currently trading at 1.0347 levels. The Australian dollar is weak vs. the greenback amid risk aversion and weaker than expected Trade Balance data this morning, decreasing demand for higher yielding assets like AUD. Support is seen at 1.0277 levels (55 days daily EMA) and resistance is seen at 1.0382 levels (55 days 4hrly EMA). Exporters can cover to book export exposure at current levels while Importers can hold to cover. Short Term: Overbought Medium Term: Bearish. Target: Parity soon.
Oil: Oil is currently trading at 95.54 levels. Oil price is rising amid decrease in fuel supply in US which is likely to increase its demand. Support is seen at 90.76 levels (200 and 21 days daily EMA) while resistance is seen at around 98.80 levels. Outlook: Short term bearish and medium term bearish Target 85 levels again.
Gold: Gold is currently trading at 1791.93 levels. Gold rises on concern about the weak global outlook and worsening Euro zone debt crisis which is prompting Investor in turning towards safer assets like gold. Support is seen at 1709.75 (55 daily EMA) and resistance is seen at around 1814.09 levels. Stay away from longs until we see significant corrections. Look at initiating shorts at good resistances. Target 1700 and below again.
Dollar Index: DI is currently trading at 77.00 levels. Dollar and US Treasuries is trading strong across the board except against the Yen and the Cable as uncertainties continue to deter Investors in taking riskier assets and the flight to safety continues.

One problem with your scenario, there RS. There is no hospital picture. Zimmerman repeatedly turned down opportunities for further medical treatment after the first triage and clean-up by the EMT's. So--while the defense likes to talk to the public about a broken nose and concussion, these things have never been substantiated medically.
Second problem with your scenario is that while there is some evidence of non-life-threatening injuries (small laceration to the back of the scalp and a nose bleed), these injuries somehow came into being without an DNA transfer from Zimmerman to Trayvon's hands, or the sleeves or cuffs of his clothing. Particularly amazing given Zimmerman's graphic description of Trayvon leaning his full weight and both hands on his nose and mouth in an attempt to smother him and keep him from crying out (and despite there being no pause in the screaming recorded by 911 that Zimmerman claims was him).
Further, the injury to the back of the head (a laceration) is not consistent with repeated head banging against the concrete, which would be far more likely to result in bruising, immediate swelling and abrasions (a laceration is a clean cut). And the trail of blood running from that injury is inconsistent with someone lying or their back, or even upright. It would have required a face-downwards positioning--such as being atop another person in a fight.
Then we have a couple of eye-witnesses who attest to Zimmerman being on top.
And we have the lack of Trayvon's fingerprints or DNA on the gun--despite testimony that Z. shot him in a struggle for the weapon.
Now, then.
You were saying.

Again, you should try being informed instead of just opinionated. The facts are available from the actual police report [at the Smoking Gun]. The police responded to a call from a neighbor who witnessed two men [Gates and his cab driver] who appeared to be breaking into the front door of the Gates home, which had already recently been broken into. The report details the incident:
- Gates didn't come home "to find his front door jammed"; he knew beforehand that it was jammed. Gates' residence - by his own admission - had been the target of a previous break-in attempt (the reason for the door being jammed).
- After talking to the woman who reported the possible break-in, Crowley radioed to request additional backup.
- Crowley's first communication with Gates was to ask him to step onto the porch to talk to him, to which Gates responded, "no, I will not."
- Gates then demanded to know Crowley's identity,' to which Crowley responded, "Sgt. Crowley from the Cambridge Police," and that he was "investigating the report of a break-in in progress" at the residence.
- Gates' immediate response to Crowley's explanation was, "Why? Because I am a black man in America?"
- Crowley attempted to proceed with his investigation, amidst continued yelling and accusations of racism by Gates. Crowley asked if anyone else was in the residence, to which Gates replied that it was none of Crowley's business.
- Crowley requested that Gates show him photo identification to prove that he resided at the location. Gates initially refused, demanded identification from Crowley, and then complied with Crowley's request by producing a Harvard identification card.
- Upon learning that Gates was affiliated with Harvard, Crowley radioed to request the presence of Harvard police.
- As Crowley prepared to leave, Gates continued yelling at him, issuing racist accusations at him, told him that Gates wasn't "someone to mess with", and asked him a second and third time for Crowley's name.
- Officer Figueroa arrived at some time near this point, and overheard much, of the incident.
- Crowley then told Gates that he was leaving the residence, and that if he had anything further to say, that he could say it outside. According to Crowley, Gates' tirade was so loud in the kitchen and foyer that Crowley had difficulty transmitting pertinent information via his radio.
- Gates responded, "Yeah, I'll speak with your mama outside."
- Crowley exited the residence to find several Cambridge Police officers, Harvard Police officers, the original caller, and approximately seven unidentified onlookers.
- Gates followed Crowley outside of the house.
- As Crowley descended the steps to the sidewalk, Gates continued yelling at Crowley, hurling racial accusations at him, and telling him that Crowley had not heard the last of Gates.
- Crowley warned Gates not once, but twice, that his behavior had become disorderly, and to calm down.
- Gates ignored Crowley's warnings, and continued his outburst.
- It was at this point, after two warnings, that Crowley placed Gates under arrest.
- Gates was initially handcuffed with his hands behind his back, but immediately complained that the handcuffs were too tight, and that he was "disabled" and would fall without his cane.
- Crowley immediately had Officer Ivey handcuff Gates with his hands in front, while Crowley found Gates' cane inside his house.
- Crowley asked Gates if he would be comfortable with letting one of the police officers secure the front door of the house, which was open. Gates responded that the door could not be secured, having been damaged during a previous break-in attempt at the house.

I think the big question right now is whether the defense will even take the risk of presenting at an immunity (self-defense) hearing. Attorney O'Mara tried to get the judge to roll the two together--which I believe that she is unlike to go for, apparently not allowed under Florida law.
Based on the evidence, they are not likely to win immunity, which means that they have to then turn around and present a case to a jury who knows that the self-defense case was lost.

Less than one per month across the neighborhood. And no reason to believe that they were all the same person, and even less to believe that Trayvon Martin had anything to do with any of them.

Trayvon was just two legged vermin. Nuckle tattoos drug using and dealing. Zimmerman did the world a favor by exterminating that parasite. I just hope trayvon hadn't bred some skank, those are genes that need removed from the pool.

Gates first refused to offer his ID, but as soon as he complied, the officer prepared to leave.
Sadly, Mr. Gates elected to disrupt the peace at that point.

What part of "disorderly conduct" eludes you, Reader? Gates followed the cop out of the house and begged to be arrested. Act like that toward a cop, especially with onlookers there, and it doesn't matter what color you are, what color the cop is, or whether you're in Cambridge, Carson or Colorado Springs...you're going downtown.

Not too likely to be discounted and I'll tell you why. Z. managed to blow through over $300,000 in his defense fund before his lawyer (working for free) hired a single expert witness. Course, the attorney did get about $50,000 worth of office improvements--in the form of hardware, software, server and so forth. And a small crew of (volunteer) interns got some pizza.
AND, since he didn't pay off his security company for services over and above what they recommended, it's not too likely that any experts are going to join the team for anything less than cash on the barrel head.
So--good luck with discounting the evidence.
Tell George to send them some more cash. It doesn't look like NBC wants to settle quickly out of court for cash, like they hoped.

Remy LaCroix
Remy Lacroix is reading some softcore literature as the bright sun lights up those dirty pages. Rico Powerful notices this smallish lil' thing and hastily salivates his game at her. The pictures of what she's just read are still dancing in her head and she's already moist for some meaty dark-hued pink cigar. Remy takes Rico back home and she gives up the literature in favor for Rico's heavy meat stick. Remy spurts to her knees and fellates on Rico's ebony Longfellow until her gash erupts like a stream. Remy proceeds to slob on his ebony spunk-pump until the nerve endings in her snatch represents it's time to rail that dark-hued cull. Rico's ebony ball-sac nestle against Remy's sleek cooch until there's no apartment left in her insatiable sphere. Remy Lacroix resumes to wring Rico's phat dark-hued salami with her fuckbox until her ass fucking region requests a energetic widening. The testicle tonic from her coochie make for efficient oil as Rico smashes his giant dark-hued man rod in her back door. That gyrating you now hear is Remy's fucktoy that's now wiggling her cooch while Rico's ebony bazooka is taking its toll on her cavern. Our lil' bi-racial enjoy story comes to its dramatic conclusion when Rico's nut detonate on Remy Lacroix's face. Shakespeare couldn't have written anything finer.711 Views

An inside look at an enterprise architect's world
Is the role of enterprise architect changing? It is, and it isn't. I know that's helpful.
I recently spoke with Todd Loeppke, CTO Architect for Sungard Availability Services, a company that is focused on IT production and recovery. He has a broad view of the changing EA role, thanks to his many client contacts.
From his vantage point, the EA job itself really hasn't changed but the pieces and responsibilities are changing and in some cases, quite dramatically. "If the IT architect's job is to architect IT solutions that solve business problems under a big umbrella then the role hasn't changed," Loeppke said. "But the parts, the experience, well there's pretty much everything under the umbrella that's changed."
Loeppke thinks the tricky part is that the tools an EA is using have changed completely and, of course, there are more tools. Take automation. The idea that so much should be automated in this DevOps world we live in is a huge change and something today's EA is now forced to deal with. "Automated testing is taking over, and it has to," he said. An EA today "is going to have a greater sense of automation than ever before. This was not a sexy practice in the past but it is key to success in the future."
But it doesn't stop there. Loeppke says an EA today has to have a broad view of open source tools — and if you'll pardon the pun, be open to using them. It's ok to reach out to GitHub and see how other people have solved a problem.
And while the nature of an enterprise architect job is to be a generalist, don't plan on being too general, or you'll run the risk of missing something, whether it's security or cloud or networking related.
Sounds a bit like same job title but a different playbook. How do you think the EA role is changing? Let me know.
Making metrics less elusive in DevOpsDevOps
Andreas Grabner, a "performance enthusiast" who works at Dynatrace, understands that metrics are the holy grail of a DevOps team, but he also knows that the information can be hard to come by on the Devs side of things.
Speaking recently at DevOps Days Boston, he was clear about what developers need: "Metrics should be put in your face."
In fact, he recommends installing ceiling devices that can go from green to red so that devs can know instantly if a build isn't working. Spinning red overhead lights can go a long way to drawing attention to a problem, right?
And it's really not about automation, he said, because automating bad code does nothing for anyone. The key is to find a way to bring data to the developers right where they are.
"A developer is 100 percent responsible for the code," Grabner said. "The code runs on the framework and if you don't use the analytics tools you have you won't know what's going on. With a metrics-driven pipeline you get better code from the beginning."
You don't have tools, you say?
Ah, but there are so many out there, many available free of charge for personal use.
Here are some of Grabner's suggestions:
Free of charge tools from Dynatrace.
Understanding PurePath (and getting a longer free trial).

Looking for direction at Agile 2016
"To some extent Agile isn't a solved problem."
"Agile needs to freaking grow up."
"We need to stop calling it Agile."
"We need to stop saying Agile makes it easy to go faster."
"Agile got us going, but DevOps is going to take us where we need to go."
In the conference rooms of Agile 2016 in Atlanta this week, there was a lot of talk about where Agile is today. At 15 years old, Agile, in one sense, is maturing and going strong. But, even among those who preach it – and make a living from it – there is just a hint of unease when it comes to talking about the future.
Nowhere was this more obvious than during the session "2020: The State of Agile." Moderated by Jann Thomas, a former developer, with three Agile coaches as panelists, this session was standing room only. But, as the session progressed, more and more people started to leave. The issue, it seemed to me, and in discussion with other attendees later, is that people were looking for a practical road map for Agile's next few years. They wanted to hear, head on, how to tackle the challenges. What about new technology, what about DevOps, what about the fact that this can be so very difficult to get right?
The panelists were clearly frustrated with Agile's "reputation" but their solutions were cosmetic in nature. One suggested renaming Agile ("it's tainted" by folks who couldn't do it correctly), and then offered up a slew of catch phrases including "bring your femininity to the job," allow "openness and compassion," "speak from your heart" and "bring your vulnerability." At this point, a lot of people were leaving and one man raised his hand and suggested his CEO simply wouldn't want to hear those things. There was nervous laughter at that.
And when the group did try to get a bit more nitty gritty, they suggested de-coupling Agile from speed of delivery. Don't focus on faster delivery, focus on "sooner." Is there really a difference here? They insisted there was but I am still not so certain.
This session left me – and many others I spoke with – feeling deflated. Change is coming, whether it's via the Internet of Things, the cloud, or DevOps. Change doesn't have to mean the end of Agile – after all, it's quite diluted already given the thousands of different ways companies "do" Agile. But in order to roll with change, and grow from it, you need to acknowledge it. Agile needs practical and unfortunately for much of this week what we heard were platitudes.
It is, indeed, time for Agile to grow up and take the next steps.
App too slow? Let's just blame Brexit
Developers, slow applications are really not your fault. And I've got two examples to prove it.
Performance analytics company Soasta has finally quantified what we've all secretly hoped — slow apps really might not be poor development. According to a study of its clients, Soasta claims your apps are being hijacked by third party sources that you may not have any control over. Whether it's huge ads, or Javascript plug-ins or mongo images, your apps are drowning under the weight. In fact, Soasta data shows that more than 50% of online resources are sucked up by these third party add-ons, slowing down your site and potentially costing you revenue.
And in the category of other things you have no control over, it's time to bring Brexit in to the mix. While obviously the UK leaving the EU isn't going to slow down your app, it may slow down your app development, particularly if your developers are in the UK. The European Union allows free and easy travel between member nations, something that's translated in to a lot of software devs from other countries working in London. That's helped ease the shortage and boost productivity, but things are changing, according to Robert Grimsey, director at UK-based recruitment firm Harvey Nash. "Brexit has created uncertainty," he said. "We've seen it in the lead up to the Referendum, during which demand for recruitment across all roles – including software development – was down. Now that Brexit has been confirmed, our expectation is that demand for permanent software development roles will continue to stay suppressed until there is a greater visibility."
What could that mean? More contract jobs, for starters, as companies may not want to hire permanent workers. And it could mean a hiccup — or ten — when it comes to development projects.
The bottom line: lots of things are out of your control, like third party apps and political upheaval. At a time when many are tired of hearing how the dev process is at fault, perhaps today we can all take a little (admittedly cold) comfort in the fact that we can actually identify a few of the culprits. It won't last forever, but for right now we can try to enjoy it.
About DevOps and Bernie Sanders
Yes, you read that title right. Too bad I can't take credit for the pairing.
Way back when I worked for a daily newspaper, the most exciting times of all were of course the election cycles. The late nights, the meet and greets, the feeling of change in the air…good times.
It's another election cycle — by all accounts a one of a kind cycle at that — and of course change *is* in the air still. And not just when it comes to politics.
I interviewed Will Evans, chief design officer at Praxis Flow, a couple of weeks ago. He's a lean development expert, sure, but he's also a fun and lively interview. I would guess his seminar at QCon was probably a lot of fun.
But Evans will always have a special place in my heart because in this election cycle he brought together two wildly different "things" and actually made it work: DevOps and Bernie Sanders.
"Imagine Bernie Sanders is the DevOps of politics — fresh ideas but fundamentally not changing the entire system," Evans said. "People are idealists in DevOps. If Bernie can change the platform and shift the Democratic party to the left 5% that is progress but not perfection and DevOps is the same."
Evans thinks the biggest problem in the software development arena is that people aren't engaged and are at risk of spending their time doing things that don't matter. DevOps, he believes, can be that change, but like Sanders, you have to see it as a process and and not an end result. "The promise of DevOps is to move things, to make things 1% better next year. That is meaningful. This is a long haul with a lot of hard work and we're not going to have change overnight."
Can we afford to be patient? I hope so.
Tell me how you think software development and the election cycle are linked.
A new site for IT operations pros
Ask any application-development decision maker or programmer: Emerging technologies force enterprise IT shops to rethink not just which new products and services to adopt, but even more importantly, the very nature of how they do their jobs. For this reason, TechTarget's expanding its coverage of IT operations with the launch of SearchITOperations.com.
Our long-standing attention to core application development technologies and buying trends — such as development ALM and app containers — will not change on the TechTarget coding and software websites you already read. Rather, through the new SearchITOperations, we recognize the cultural and technological transformation underway as IT operations and application development more closely collaborate to heighten their enterprise's ability to respond to market changes.
Reaching into 2020
Looking out over the next three to five years, strategic IT shops will need to move beyond cost savings or avoidance, marked by silos and limited collaboration, to thrive. All aim for stable, flexible operations that are custom fitted to the internal landscape, corporate goals and business outcomes of that enterprise.
For many IT shops, the desire to facilitate shorter application release cycles without outages and mistakes means reordering staff, acquiring new skills and choosing from a plethora of new tools to automate tasks.
The new site is dedicated to the news, features, how-to tips and other expert content that enables IT operations pros to manage new application architectures and faster release cycles, along with the feedback loop concept promoted by DevOps. From our view, these tie-ins with AppDev teams are clear and important.
As always, our readers can expect unbiased technical information as they evaluate new tools, learn additional skills and plan tomorrow's IT operations.
We hope you'll check out the new resources on SearchITOperations, and we thank you for your continued loyalty to, and readership of, SearchSoftwareQuality.
The 21st Century Definition of "Well-Rounded"
My recent story on the surprise skills gap — writing, public speaking, communication and most decidedly NOT tech skills — has me wondering what it means to be the ideal employee. The term "well-rounded" is tossed around a lot, but what does that actually mean when it comes to testers and developers?
I went to a liberal arts college and, all right, I'll admit I was an ENGLISH major. And not just any old English major — my degree was in 19th C. British Lit. Yes, my father was certain I would never get a job with a degree like that. He was a CPA and his view was that college was supposed to give you a marketable skill or, even better, skills. I obviously didn't get "skills" but I did get an education.
That was a million years ago, and the world has changed a lot. Just this week I had a reader mention that he literally keeps his developers "locked in a back room" because they are completely unable to communicate — orally, or by email — with his customers in any way that resembles "standard" English. I did not get the sense that his developers were non-native English speakers; instead, it seems they just don't have good communication skills, which of course brings me back to that skills gap.
So, to be an ideal developer or tester today you need: tech skills, of course, but you need to be able to write, speak and interact comfortably with customers and business people, and then you may need that "extra" something that involves, say, industry experience. That's what Matt Sigelman, CEO of research firm Burning Glass, refers to as "hybrid skills."
In other words, I think the bar is getting set at a higher and higher level as time goes on. There are straightforward solutions if you have an employee with insufficient tech skills; but Dale Carnegie and The Toastmasters aren't exactly household names any more (click on the links if you actually don't know who/what they are!) and as far as hybrid skills go, a hybrid developer creates him/herself by choice. The employer doesn't have much to say about that.
So how do we solve that skills gap? Does your company have a strategy that's worked? Or do you think the problem is overblown? I'd like to hear what you think.
Agile, DevOps and the flavor of the week
Suddenly, in mid April 2016, everyone, and I do mean everyone, is talking about DevOps. They're talking about Agile, too, of course, but unless I'm imagining things, it's DevOps that seems to have captured everyone's attention.
Last I looked, DevOps adoption was hovering at a (more than likely optimistic) 20% or so in mostly companies that self-identified as digital disrupters (in a survey of 1442). But now…it's ALM and DevOps, it's DevOps and security, it's DevOps DevOps, Devops, oh, and Agile too.
So when did Agile become so last week? SearchSoftwareQuality columnist Jenn Lent, in her end of 2015 column, predicted this might be the year when Agile actually grows up. Seems it might have grown up so quickly that's it's morphing in to that next thing.
Is this bandwagon jumping, or is this real? I asked the last CEO I interviewed, who is rolling out a new product aimed at the DevOps market, just what kinds of companies he thought were going whole hog for DevOps. His answer: large companies and startups. Hmmm…those are the same kinds of companies still doing — and working on — Agile.
Another source I talked to a few months back was actually laughing about DevOps. To paraphrase, he said he felt Agile had already upset the apple cart for testers and developers and asking them now to take the HUGE step and embrace DevOps? Crazy talk.
And then there's the CEO of Shippable who didn't hold back…he straight up hated developers. Until he was one. And he still thinks the way DevOps is implemented is ridiculous. He calls it a whole "Kumbayah" thing.
But, he's also got a product focused on making DevOps easier to implement, so he obviously believes in the concept.
So let me ask you — is the DevOps train coming by your town? And what's happening with Agile while that happens?
It feels like change is coming. What do you think?
When apps behave badly
According to a new survey from NGINX, our apps are performing very badly indeed. And perhaps what's worse news is that a whole lot of companies really aren't doing anything about it.
NGINX did an in-depth survey of 1800 IT professionals on a variety of topics and it turned out there were several surprises, according to Peter Guagenti, chief marketing officer of the company. He said he was very surprised to see how widespread use of containers and microservices were (close to 2/3 surveyed were either already using or seriously exploring containers and nearly the same percentage was true for microservices).
But what absolutely shocked him and his team was the data on performance. According to the survey, app performance was a significant issue for 75% of respondents — they reported their app was either somewhat or extremely slow. Ok, that's not good. But what's worse was the fact that one-third of survey takers said their companies were doing absolutely nothing about it. Wow, nothing? (If you don't want to be one of those ignoring performance, here are 19 ways to make your pages load faster.)
We know that slow applications cost companies tens of thousands of dollars, at least, in lost revenue as users get fed up and head to a competitor or just give up in general. "Not paying attention to this is the modern day equivalent of not paying attention to customer service," Guagenti said.
On one hand, Guagenti said he can empathize. "What's really going on here is the constant push-pull. Most organizations are understaffed. They need to build new features and the entire process is targeted at creating new features and not maintenance or performance tuning." What ends up happening, he explained, is that companies become unwilling to go backwards.
And that's how apps end up performing badly. What do you think companies need to do to fix this?
Experiencing Uber from the inside out
Tom Hughes-Croucher stood before a standing-room-only crowd and explained how he and his team keep Uber running. Or, as he put it, "how we avoid screwing up the world's largest Javascript project."
The senior site reliability engineer certainly has his work cut out for him. Uber is in 400 cities around the world, with more than 1 million drivers and just recently has gotten in to food delivery in addition to its normal ride service.
I was paying even more attention than usual because, as an attendee at the Fluent Conference in San Francisco, I wasn't just a journalist. I was an Uber customer.
So while Hughes-Croucher talked, I was thinking about my first Uber ride, which, honestly, went off without a hitch. The pleasant driver arrived two minutes after I placed the request, and it was a restful few moments during a busy business trip.
Hughes-Croucher would certainly have approved because that's the goal, of course, despite how fast the company is growing. "When everything's exponential there's no opportunity to be wasteful," he said. "You have to find things that are going to make an impact. Reliability and performance are critical. If our systems are down those people can't work and you can't get a ride."
Hmm….I really was going to need another ride soon. Hopefully Hughes-Croucher had me covered. He focused his talk on the importance of detecting bad releases, having fast and efficient rollback and mitigation and making sure there is always performance reliability.
I thought about that later in the day, as I requested another Uber, only to get a "network unavailable" message. Uh-oh. Another try hooked me up with a driver, but he had to cancel the trip because he was pulled over by a cop on the way to picking me up.
That's not something I can blame on Hughes-Croucher, whose attention to detail is impressive but even he can't control traffic cops. What he is trying to control, though, is time. His strategy, though complex to implement perhaps, is beautiful in its simplicity. He advocates only rolling out a 5% change and then watching that rollout like a hawk. If there's an issue, it's instantly rolled-back and the only "hit" to performance is really to the developer's productivity and not the customer's. At least in theory, this makes a lot of sense to me.
During my last Uber ride, I did what I always do and asked how the driver liked his job. He does, very much, but he's about to radically reduce his hours. Why? He's decided to go to school to become a software tester.
I let him know Hughes-Croucher (firstname.lastname@example.com) is hiring.

My wants a divorce and she's asking me to find a place? Is this right? If she wants a divorce do i legally need to leave the house? We also have 2 kids. I would think that she wants out she should leave, no? She hasn't filed yet.
Unless and until a Judge orders someone to leave the house, you have no obligation to leave. As uncomfortable as it may be, many people are living together during divorce proceedings because of the current economic climate and their financial situation. However, such an arrangement is awkward and more stressful for everyone involved.
If someone does leave the residence without an order to do so, I would imagine that it should be the one who does not expect to be the primary care giver for the children because a move from the primary residence for the children at the same time that their parents are going through a divorce is more traumatic for them than if they had the stability of continuing to reside in the house as their primary residence.
Please note that if you do continue to reside together and an incident occurs from the stressful arrangement, it could result in police being called and possibly someone filing a restraining order. If you look at my profile, you will see an article I wrote entitled trust and the attorney client relationship. You would not be the first example of a situation where someone filed a domestic violence restraining order in order to obtain a desired result (fraudulently) and achieved that result because justice does not always prevail.

You are not legally required to leave the house. She can force you out of the house in two main ways: 1) She files a motion with the Court requesting sole and exclusive use of the family residence; or 2) You are given a move out order due to a temporary restraining order.
There really isn't a right or wrong answer to who moves out or if neither parent moves out. You need to look at all of the circumstances--financially, who is best able to pay for the house? If you can't afford the house plus a separate residence, you might have to continue living together. What about the kids? If their house is near their school, friends, and extracurricular activities, moving them with a parent to somewhere strange is likely to be upsetting to them.

Special screening of 'Mustang' held for members of the France Alumni Australie Network
On December 8 2016 in Sydney, and December 11 2016 in Melbourne, members of the France Alumni Australie Network and the friends of France were invited to a screening of the Franco-Turkish film 'Mustang'. The events were hosted by the Embassy of France with the support of the Alliance Française de Sydney and the Alliance Française de Melbourne.
The two events, held in Sydney and Melbourne respectively, were marked by the screening of the film 'Mustang'. This iconic film united many of the Alumni Fémis with its strong and universal values relating to humanity, equality and freedom. The events encouraged a large number of those invited to sign up to the France Alumni Australie Network. The film 'Mustang' has received critical acclaim, winning awards at the Sarajevo Festival and the Prix LUX of the European Parliament in 2015. It is representing France in the nominations competition for the 2016 Oscars and the Golden Globes.
The first screening was held at Chauvel Cinemas in Sydney, with over 250 attendees in the audience, including members of France Alumni Australie.
The second screening was held at Palace Como Cinema in Melbourne, with 130 attendees in the audience, including members of France Alumni Australie.
The two evenings were both a great success, with a considerable amount of new memberships registered.
Following the screenings of 'Mustang', the France Alumni Australie network now stands at 355 members.
The events were coordinated by the Embassy of France in conjunction with the Alliance Française de Sydney and the Alliance Française de Melbourne, supported by France Alumni Australie, Campus France Australie and Madman Entertainment.
The France Alumni Australie platform was opened on March 3 2015. It is an international social and professional network for anyone living in Australia who has studied or gained professional experience in France or in a French company, as well as former students of international French schools.
France Alumni Australie keeps members informed of French cultural news in Australia, as well as provides information about employment opportunities, study programmes, scholarships, and internships.
For more information please visit the France Alumni Australie website.
