Considerations for choosing laptoplocks and laptopcarts
Considerations for choosing laptoplocks and laptopcarts
There is no questions about bracing your laptop with good security. With Laptops being the 2nd most stolen item in America after automobiles it is clear, your laptop needs to be safeguarded from getting into wrong hands.
It is a matter of intrusion of privacy, be it PC's, laptops or your notebooks, the data you have stored should be protected at all times to prevent from any unwanted data theft, which could cause serious damage beyond your imagination.
Here are a few tips to keep your notebooks safe:
•You have spent handsome amount investing in many laptops for your employees, so you need to give due importance to the safety of your company's asset too. Especially, during the off working hours, it is very common that vandals attack the premises and destroying and steeling any equipment in their way including laptops. So it is very important that the laptops are left secured in either laptopcarts or individually secured using notebooklocks.
•In case you are individual staying in a Hotel Room do not leave your laptop while you are away, but if you cannot carry it with you around, secure the laptops with anti-theft locks such as NotebookLocks.
•A cable lock is an ideal tool to lock systems in an organisation. It is a simple device wherein a cable wraps around a stationary Object. NotebookLocks are a relatively inexpensive devices to secure laptops and desktops in organizations.
•Select a locking solution that suits your/your company's requirement. There are various kinds of locks that could be great for you – the PClocks, laptoplocks, notebooklocks, computerlocks, monitorlocks all suit specific purpose. If these do not suited for your requirements, you can even have customlocks made to fit for your needs.
•Hard drive locks is what people have been using for a long time. No doubt they secure the systems from data theft, but they are no more redundant as hackers and vandals can well crack the hard drive locks. A combination of notebooklocks and laptopcarts is always a great option to keep the laptops or computing systems at schools or organizations safe from data thieves and vandals. Owing to the great convenience the laptopcarts provide, their usage has seen a great rise in the recent years at many universities and schools across US and Canada. The teachers in fact use these laptopcarts as portable teaching rooms and they save great deal of money as they prevent the need to buy duplicate computer class rooms and keep the notebooks from being stolen.

Should great artists be treated differently from ordinary mortals? Does a musician, painter, writer or filmmaker who creates soul-stirring and sublime works deserve a free pass, special dispensation, a get-out-of-jail card, so to speak?
I raise these questions in regard to Roman Polanski, the French-Polish director who soon may be deported back to Los Angeles to face the consequences of a crime he committed in 1977, then fled from -- but not in connection to his sordid legal situation.
Rather, these are questions that Polanski addresses himself in The Pianist,(2002_film) his 2002 film about the brilliant Jewish-Polish musician Wladyslaw Szpilman. Through a combination of his own intelligence and animal guile, and other people's (mainly) good intentions, Szpilman somehow was able to survive the Nazi occupation of Poland during World War II(1939) while millions around him perished.
"The Pianist" is a haunting drama that won Polanski the Oscar for best director. It may be the most emphatic and comprehensive statement on the human condition from a director whose career has generated "Knife in the Water" (1962), "Rosemary's Baby" (1968), "Chinatown" (1974) and "The Tenant" (1976).
So what is "The Pianist" saying about moral behavior, and the role of the artist in society? And what, if anything, can be inferred from it about the moral vision of the complex, controversial man who directed it?
Polanski's vision of the ethical laws governing the universe is anything but reassuring. In his movies, justice and logic ultimately have little to do with an individual's fate. Crime and punishment are dished out more or less arbitrarily. Survival is fluky, freakish, and often paid for with drastic moral compromises.
His sensibility unmistakably stamps Polanski as a postwar European auteur, heir to the existential musings of Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter, as he has acknowledged. His absurdist view of existence, combined with his meticulous sense of craft, renders his movies cold to the touch, not warm and fuzzy, in the preferred Hollywood manner.
The key elements of Polanski's personal narrative hardly need repeating. But in sum they remain shocking and disturbing: his youthful escape from the Krakow ghetto while his parents were sent to Nazi extermination camps (only his father survived); the sadistic murder of his pregnant wife, actress Sharon Tate, by members of the Manson gang in 1969; and his conviction for having unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, the case for which he is still a wanted man in Los Angeles.
That's a lifeline that, in the abstract, sounds as surreal as almost anything Polanski has cooked up in his films. If an agent pitched it to a roomful of studio executives, they might dismiss it as too improbable to play in Peoria.
Yet Polanski's life story has long been catnip to movie critics and armchair Freudians looking for clues to interpreting his films. It practically could be a parlor game: Can you spot the director's true self in his movies? At times, Polanski has appeared to encourage such speculation by appearing in many of his films. He played the title character in "The Tenant," an isolated Polish exile living in Paris who arouses the irrational suspicions, fears and eventually the pathological loathing of his neighbors. In "Chinatown" he cast himself as a vicious "midget" (Polanski is short) who slices open the nose of private eye Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson) right when he's stumbling on the truth behind a very dark secret.
"Granted that it's too easy and a cliche to connect your work with your life in such a direct manner," the Australian critic Clive James demurs to Polanski in the opening frames of "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired," the probing documentary by director Marina Zenovich that first aired on HBO last year. But if, as James suggests, it would be flippant to draw glib clinical conclusions about Polanski (or any auteur) based on the content of his or her movies, it would be obtuse not to take note of some of the ghastly parallels between the facts of Polanski's life and the shadow worlds of his films.
Pauline Kael, longtime film critic of the New Yorker, perceived shades of the Manson Family's slayings in the gruesomely staged slaughter of Lady Macduff and her entourage in Polanski's "The Tragedy of Macbeth" (1971). In its online biography of the director, the New York Times asserts that "the tawdry details of Mr. Polanski's behavior" in the sex-crime case, some of which were revealed in grand jury testimony made public only a few years ago, "were matched by accounts of official wrongdoing that occasionally seemed to mirror the tone" of the civic dirty dealings of the 1930s portrayed in "Chinatown."
So where does "The Pianist" fit in Polanski's self-referential spectrum? Steven Spielberg reportedly offered Polanski the opportunity to direct "Schindler's List." But Polanski opted for "The Pianist" after purchasing the rights to Szpilman's memoir, praising the book as "very dry, without sentimentalism or embellishments."
Indeed, the film for much of its running time maintains an emotionally neutral, morally nonjudgmental tone that is all the more effective in contrast to the chilling events it depicts.
In the movie, several people intervene to spare the life of the desperate musician played by Adrien Brody, including Polish Underground activists, fellow Jews and, in the story's most bizarre twist, a Nazi officer. Several of those who help to save Szpilman from certain death sacrifice their own lives in the process.
"The Pianist" suggests that both civilization and human identity are fragile constructions at best, as Brody's character is transformed from a highly cultured cosmopolitan into a haggard, hunted man living by his wits. After he's miraculously spared from being herded onto the Nazis' concentration camp-bound trains, he takes part in helping to arm the resistance fighters who stage the Warsaw uprising. Later, he expresses his guilt for not having gone down fighting alongside them.
The more socially palatable and therefore conventional message of Spielberg's "Schindler's List" and his other World War II-era opus, "Saving Private Ryan," is that any given human life is neither more nor less valuable than any other. All lives and deaths are, or should be, invested with dignity and love. But in the far bleaker worldview of "The Pianist," some lives, justifiably or not, prevail over others, and death and suffering are as often grotesque, random and meaningless as they are noble, purposeful or humanizing.
Although it depicts numerous acts of courage, mercy and decency, "The Pianist" is far more concerned with the paradoxes and contradictions of human behavior. It's a movie in which even Nazis are shown as both cultured and thuggish, civilized and barbaric. So are their victims, albeit to a far different degree. What matters, in the end, is who stays alive, who's still around when the chaos subsides and order (or at least the illusion of order) is temporarily restored.
It's not hard to imagine that Polanski saw aspects of himself in Szpilman. "[Polanski] has a strong vision of death and sadness inside of him, but since he has such energy, such working power, such desire to do extraordinary things, he prevails." So remarks Pierre-André Boutang, identified as "Polanski's friend" in Zenovich's documentary, in an interview meant to contextualize the director's decision to flee the United States. He could be describing the character in "The Pianist."
The crucial difference, of course, is that Szpilman was a victim of the abominable, criminal actions of others. Polanski, in the case for which he remains in the docket of world opinion, was the perpetrator. The pianist's actions in saving himself were defensible; those of Polanski, in the opinion of many, were utterly reprehensible.
Yet however we judge Polanski as a human being, it's worth noting that in "The Pianist" he doesn't make the claim that artists deserve special consideration. In the director's universe, no one merits preferential treatment any more than they necessarily deserve the injustices that befall them. If anything, his movies simply argue that judging any individual's life and actions should be done with caution, in a world where terrible things both within and beyond our control can happen to virtually anyone at any time, and often do.

A few more notes on Wissembourg before we head back to Paris.
I've been lucky to travel a good deal in the last few years, and this trip was certainly among the best. Growing up in Hawai'i we usually traveled in the direction of Asia, exploring Bangkok, Tokyo, China, and my parent's hometown of Vietnam (we're of Chinese descent but have three generations in Vietnam). Luckily my parents and sister love traveling just as much, if not more.
Now that I live in NYC, I'm making it a priority to explore more of Europe. We have Italy and Greece on our list for next year. Fingers crossed we can make it happen. But there is always Hawai'i, and no matter where I go, you can always count on me visiting Hawai'i at least twice a year.
Now, getting back on subject. I've written of the beautiful mirabelles and mille-feuilles, and a spectacular tarte flambée, all essential elements of this holiday. The best food we ate was really the home cooking from Pierre's mom. I mean, when is home cooking not the best? ;) His parents had just come back from Carnac, Brittany the day before we visited. They brought back wonders like golden Breton Butter Cakes…
…and fresh eggs from his grandma's farm. We visited the farm last year remember?
We indulged a bit too much on the first few days in Wissembourg. Excellent wines, cheese at every meal, foie gras, and of course that tarte flambée I can't get out of my mind. It was that good.
So on out last day, lighter food was in order, and Pierre's mom whipped up a clean stir fry with plenty of ginger and all the vegetables from the garden.
We had a different fish preparation each day…
…always paired with salad. Collards greens (also from the garden!) sautéed with thin sliced onions and raisins.
One morning we woke to a fresh Kugelhopf, almond-studded on top and with an abundance of plump golden raisins. I wish I could send you the yeasty, sweet and nutty scent of warm kugelhopf over the computer!
Here it was rising the night before.
And then, breakfast. Always with a pot of Jasmine tea. Espresso for Pierre.
P.S. One afternoon while walking to town, we found this little goat. The poor thing was lost, no more than a month old. He was frightened by passing cars but affectionate and trusting with humans. He even walked up to a girl in a cafe and tried to lick her ice cream cone! A lady eventually picked up (just like that, with both arms) and put him in the front seat of the car. She drove little goat to the police station, and he sat in the car seat, quiet and calm as if he belonged there!

RICHMOND – Fewer children in Spring Grove and Richmond likely are behind decreasing circulation numbers at Nippersink Public Library, its director said.
Unlike some area libraries, Nippersink's circulation dropped 6 percent in 2012 with part of that coming from a decrease in interlibrary borrowing, according to the library's annual report.
"The issue is that there are fewer children in the community," Library Director Cynthia Cole said. "We're really seeing demographic changes."
Cole pointed to dropping enrollment in the two area school districts, Nippersink District 2 and Richmond-Burton High School District 157.
Total enrollment at the two districts reached a peak during the 2008-09 school year, according to Illinois Interactive Report Cards. Since then, enrollment has dropped about 10 percent.
A nationwide study by the Pew Research Center found 22 percent of those who used the library in the past 12 months said their library use has decreased.
The second most common reason cited by patrons is the library is not as useful because their children have grown, they're retired or they're no longer a student. The most common reason was that they can get books and do research online, which is more convenient, according to the report.
The Nippersink Public Library needs to shift its focus to reflect the changing demographics, Cole said.
The library is looking at promoting its homebound delivery program – through which temporary or permanent homebound residents get books and other materials delivered to them – expanding its computer classes for seniors, and letting groups such as knitting or chess clubs know they can use library space for free.
The circulation drop doesn't affect the library's funding. About 95 percent of its revenue comes from property taxes, Cole said. It also receives a small state grant that is calculated based on population, not circulation.

Consider the set $[a,\infty)$ where a is a real number. Then this is not open since $a$ is included.The complement of the set is $(-\infty,a)$, which is open, so it is a closed set. Is this correct? Also, for $\frac{1}{n}$ where $n$ is a positive integer. The set is in the interval $(0,1]$. This is not open, but I don't think it's closed either since the complement is $(-\infty,0]\cup(1,\infty)$.
Any feedback is appreciated, thanks.

Though the economy is still in recovery mode, the super rich still need their play things. Austria's Marchi Mobile is trying to provide just that with its outrageous new motorhome – the $3 million Marchi eleMMent Palazzo.
One look at the Marchi eleMMent and its bizarre circular windshield and you'll see it looks unlike any other motorhome or RV anywhere. From the outside it looks like a cross between a yacht, a motorhome and a spacecraft. If you want to get noticed, the eleMMent will certainly get you that in spades.
Of course, you can't own the eleMMent just yet. It's still a concept, but if you and enough of your multi-millionaire buddies show some interest we suspect this opulent attention-getter will be produced.

Scott Feldman is pitching every bit like a man trying to prove himself to the rest of the league, and the Cubs are reaping the benefits. Feldman, who was signed to a one year deal in the off-season has been nothing short of brilliant, especially in his last five starts sporting a 4-0 record with a 1.28 ERA. Feldman got plenty of help from his offense in this one after it looked like it could be a day of missed opportunities again. After squandering a few chances early the Cubs broke through in the fourth inning as they scored four times, highlighted by a two-out, two-run double by Feldman, he does it all! The Cubs added one in the fifth on an Anthony Rizzo solo shot, and three in the eighth to put this one well out of reach. The Mets spoiled the shut out bid in the ninth inning, the Cubs still don't have a shut out this year, but more importantly they got another victory, an 8-2 rout. Tomorrow brings an opportunity for the Cubs to win their third straight series, something that hasn't been seen around these parts in a while.
At The Plate – An efficient, productive day at the plate for the Cubs as they pounded out eleven hits while scoring eight times. David DeJesus got things started at the top of the order going 1-for-4 with a walk, and two RBI's, he's now hitting .288 on the season. Anthony Rizzo had been locked in for a while now, he hasn't struck out in thirty-four at bats and was 2-for-4 with his tenth home run of the season, an RBI, and a two runs scored. Nate Schierholtz had a solid day going 2-for-4 with his fifth home run of the season, an RBI, and two runs scored. The Cubs had three doubles in this one, giving them 97 for the season which is best in baseball.
On The Mound – Scott Feldman was outstanding again, he worked 6.2 scoreless innings giving up seven hits while walking one and striking out six. The win improved Feldman's record to 4-3 on the season, coupled with a 2.19 ERA and wow, couldn't ask for better. James Russell was solid out of the pen as usual, he worked 1.1 scoreless innings to lower his ERA to 0.54 on the season. Hector Rondon struggled a bit, he worked one inning giving up two runs on two hits, including a two run homer.
Up Next – The rubber game of the series as the Cubs go for their third straight series win. The Cubs send Travis Wood to the mound, he's been just as good as Feldman if not better. The Mets will counter with Dillon Gee, first pitch scheduled for 1:20 PM CST on WGN.
Game Highlights:
Feldman's great outing
Full video recap
DeJesus two run single
Schierholtz goes deep
Rizzo 10th home run of the season
Feldman's two run double
Castillo's RBI single
Cubs get out of a pickle

"The Highest Number in the World" by Roy MacGregor (review)
"The Highest Number in the World" — and no, that isn't a reference to Colorado's newly-legalized recreational marijuana — is actually a picture book about a superstitious hockey player.
Young Gabe (short for Gabriella) utterly devotes her life to hockey. She's invented a cool move that her teammates call "The Gabe," and she's proud of her lucky jersey with "22" on the back, a duplicate of the red and white Team Canada jersey worn by Olympian Hayley Wickenheiser. She's counting on wearing number 22 when she makes the team, but then she learns that 20 is the team's highest number.
Gabe's heart breaks when she's handed a jersey with 9 on the back. She detests her assigned number, and threatens to quit the team.

Sun is planning to release OpenSolaris soon with better package management, GNU userland tools and fast release cycle just like Fedora or Ubuntu Linux. Sun's Ian Murdock gave a presentation about OpenSolaris at LugRadio Live this past weekend. He explained how OpenSolaris reflects Sun's changing platform strategy and also discussed some of the technical attributes that differentiate OpenSolaris from Linux.
The first steps towards this goal have been realized in the latest developer preview release of OpenSolaris which offers a complete GNOME desktop environment as well as a package system and an installer. The final release will take place in May and the distribution will adhere to a six-month release cycle, just like Fedora and Ubuntu.
Few suggestion…
- Get Gnome desktop instead of Sun branded Java desktop. Please keep your corporate color away from my desktop.
- Currently OpenSolaris does not support virtual console
- Get complete package collection; I want something like FreeBSD ports or GNU/Debian APT repos.
- Get pulse-audio or may be ALSA sound support
=> Sun touts big plans for OpenSolaris as first release nears

REDMOND, WASH. — Before he began another exciting week running Microsoft, a young Bill Gates sat down at a Sunday evening dinner with the folks and heard a question from his mother.
"When are you going to get involved in giving?" Mary Gates asked her son.
Back then, more than 30 years ago, Gates was reluctant to "distract people from writing code day and night." But that changed, and Thursday afternoon Gates returned to the Microsoft campus to mark a big milestone for the company's philanthropic efforts.
With Gates and CEO Steve Ballmer both on hand, Microsoft celebrated its 30th Employee Giving Campaign by announcing that it has raised $1 billion in cash since 1983 for approximately 31,000 nonprofits and community organizations worldwide.
Gates, whose public appearances at Microsoft have been rare since leaving day-to-day duties, had the 300 or so Microsoft employees at the company's conference center in Redmond laughing with his first words.
"Well, I come back for historical perspective when it's needed," he joked as he explained the roots of the campaign.
There was no specific mention of Thursday's earnings report, or the upcoming launch of Windows 8 and the Surface, but Ballmer alluded to them in the context of the philanthropic milestone.
"It's an incredibly exciting time for Microsoft," Ballmer said. "I certainly think we'll look back at this year, in every sense, as one of the most important times in our company's history. We'll remember it certainly for Windows 8 and the remarkable wave of products that we have coming, but I think we'll also remember it as the year as we set out on the next part of our journey down this path to corporate citizenship. A billion is great start, but not a place to stop."
Each year, Microsoft matches contributions to all eligible nonprofits up to $12,000 per employee, as well as volunteer time at $17 per hour. When this campaign began in 1983, 200 employees raised $17,000 for nonprofits. That's a far cry from the 35,000 workers who will raise more than $100 million in 2012.
Ballmer called the $1 billion figure "mind-numbing," and noted how Microsoft employees have stepped up during times of crisis. He also announced a $25,000 grant to the top four organizations that have received the most funding from Microsoft employees over the past 30 years: United Way of King County, World Vision International, Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation and the American National Red Cross.
Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire was also on hand, joking that she wished she had $25,000 to give but said "I'm from state government and I have no money." Jokes aside, the governor expressed her gratitude to the employees for contributing more than $50 million to Washington state non-profits in 2011 alone and over $520 million in the past 30 years.
"Amazing things have happened to people because of your contributions," she said. "You have made people's lives better and literally saved lives."
Gates spoke about how he's seen first-hand how the money is helping around the world.
"Wherever you go, people are very curious as to why the U.S. has a tradition of creating non-profits that draw in people's time and resources to help solve people's problems," Gates added. "Every country wishes they had this."
Keeping this up for 30 years is certainly an impressive achievement and certainly an area that Microsoft has led among tech companies over the years.
"It started with Bill, his mom and dad and really did become part of the culture of the company," said Smith, Microsoft's executive vice president, Legal and Corporate Affairs. "You don't see something touch this number of people for 30 years in a row unless it really becomes part of the fabric of the entire organization."

A gruesome injury that left Louisville guard Kevin Ware with a broken leg plunged Lucas Oil Stadium into horrified silence, with coach Rick Pitino wiping away tears and shocked teammates openly weeping during Sunday's Midwest Regional final.
Ware's right leg bent in such an awkward and frightening angle that CBS stopped showing replays shortly after the fall in the NCAA tournament matchup against Duke.
He was taken into surgery at Methodist Hospital after the game to repair the fracture. School officials said the leg, broken in two places, was reset and a rod inserted into his right tibia. Ware is expected to stay in Indianapolis until at least Tuesday.
Even as he was being treated on the court, Ware was encouraging his teammates, Pitino said.
"The bone's 6 inches out of his leg and all he's yelling is, `Win the game, win the game,'" Pitino said. "I've not seen that in my life. ... Pretty special young man."
Viewers who watched the injury on TV reacted on social networks and (hash)KevinWare shot to one of the top worldwide trending topics on Twitter. Video of the injury was posted on YouTube - CBS initially replayed it twice before changing course.
The brutal mishap occurred after Ware jumped to contest a 3-pointer by Tyler Thornton. Ware's leg buckled when he landed, bending almost at a right angle. Nearly six seconds ran off the clock before the officials, at Pitino's urging, stopped the game with 6:33 left in the first half.
Louisville star Russ Smith heard the break and Chane Behanan, Ware's closest friend, couldn't believe what was happening.
"The bone was literally out. I saw white, it was literally out," said Behanan, who collapsed to his hands and feet at the sight.
The two spoke at halftime.
"He said `Don't worry about me, I'm good, I'll have my surgery tonight,'" Behanan said. "Go win it for me."
Two doctors speculated Ware might have had stress fractures that predisposed him to such a break. Pitino said it was the same injury former Louisville running back Michael Bush had in football. Bush, now with the Chicago Bears, has recovered to have a productive NFL career.
It turned out Bush was watching the game on TV. "I just cried," he wrote on Twitter. "I feel so bad. Flashback of myself. Anyone if he needs anything please let me know."
The injury happened right in front of Pitino and the Louisville bench, and several Cardinals were overcome with emotion.
Louisville forward Wayne Blackshear fell to the floor, crying, and Behanan looked as if he was going to be sick on the court, kneeling on his hands and feet. Peyton Siva sat a few feet away, a hand covering his mouth.
"I dropped to go the ground. I've never seen anything like that," Behanan said. "I don't remember the last time I cried."
Luke Hancock patted Ware's chest as doctors worked on the sophomore and Russ Smith - who is from New York City like Ware - walked away, pulling his jersey over his eyes.
Someone finally pulled Behanan to his feet, but he doubled over and needed a few seconds to gather himself. As Ware was being loaded onto a stretcher, the Cardinals gathered at midcourt until Pitino called them over, saying that Ware wanted to talk to them before he left.
In the immediate aftermath, condolences poured in on social media. Former Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann, who famously sustained a broken leg on "Monday Night Football" in a game against the New York Giants, tweeted that "Watching Duke/ Louisville my heart goes out to Kevin Ware."
Dr. Reed Estes, assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and team physician for the UAB football team, said basketball players are prone to stress fractures in the tibia, the larger of the two leg bones, and that can weaken them.
"If these are not detected they can result in a full fracture, particularly if the landing mechanics are just right" after a jump, Estes said. Surgery to stabilize the bones is usually successful, and Ware should be fine to play next season, he said.
Dr. Frederick Azar, head of the Campbell Clinic in Memphis, Tenn., and a spokesman for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, said Ware "jumped pretty far horizontally and vertically, and he landed with a twist," which puts so much torsion and stress on the bones they could have just snapped. He agreed with Estes' assessment that a stress fracture could have made Ware more prone to such an injury.
Louisville, the top overall seed in the tourney, went more than 3 minutes without scoring after the accident but regained its composure to take a 35-32 halftime lead and went on to an 85-63 victory.
"We won this for him," Pitino said. "We were all choked up with emotion for him. We'll get him back to normal. We've got great doctors, great trainers. We talked about it every timeout, `Get Kevin home.'"
Ware, a 6-foot-2 sophomore from the Bronx who played his high school basketball in the Atlanta area, was instrumental in Louisville's victory over Oregon in the regional semifinals. He scored 11 points on 5-for-7 shooting in 25 minutes off the bench.
Behanan switched into Ware's No. 5 jersey near the end of the game.
Afterward, he kept on it and the Cardinal players led the heavily partisan Louisville crowd in chants of "Kev-in, Kev-in."

Bucs begin four-game home stand
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 29, 2012) – Having spent the last three weeks on the road, the ETSU men's soccer team returns home to open up conference play on Sunday as it welcomes Mercer to Summers-Taylor Stadium at 1 p.m.
ETSU (4-4-1) returns from a difficult four-game road trip that ended with a draw, 1-1, at No. 25 Furman on Thursday. The other three results were not what the Buccaneers had hoped for, falling in overtime to Davidson and Winthrop, with a loss to Kentucky sandwiched in between. The 0-3-1 stretch dropped the Bucs from the NSCAA South Region Poll after it had entered on Sept. 4 following the win over then-No. 17 UAB.
The good news for ETSU is that Sunday's game will be on a field in which it is undefeated in 2012. The Buccaneers are a perfect 3-0-0 at home, having defeated UNC Greensboro, Radford and the aforementioned Blazers. In those three games, ETSU has outscored its opponents 6-2, with half of those goals coming in the, 3-1, result over UNCG.
Junior David Geno (Kingsport, Tenn.) heads ETSU's attack with six goals and three assists to amass 15 points through the first nine games. On Thursday at Furman, the Dobyns-Bennett product broke Aaron Schoenfeld's school record for most career assists, tallying the 11th of his career on Alesi Osorio's (Austin, Texas) first goal of the season.
ETSU's Last Outing
The Bucs closed out their season-long road swing on Thursday with a good result, playing the 25th-ranked Furman Paladins to a, 1-1, draw. While it ended ETSU's three-game losing streak, the Bucs had hoped for more but conceded the equalizer with 15 seconds left in regulation. To ETSU's credit, it held strong through both overtime periods and still walked away with a positive result.
ETSU's goal game in the 44th minute of play off the head of Osorio. Freshman Jeremy Saad (Sydney, Australia) had possession just inside the top-right corner of the penalty area, and found Geno in space out wide. The A-Sun's leader in goals and points proceeded to send a low-flying cross through the box, which Osorio headed in the air to put the Bucs on top.
Scouting the Bears
Mercer (5-3-1) will be stepping onto the field for the first time since Wednesday, when it picked apart UNC Asheville, 4-0, at Bear Field. Ashani Samuels put the home side on top quickly with his first goal of the year in the eighth minute, and added to his night with another goal in the 68th to lead in the defeat of the Bulldogs.
Will Betts, last year's A-Sun Men's Soccer Scholar-Athlete of the Year, leads Mercer's attack with four goals and nine points. Richie Edmondson, who also scored in the rout of Asheville, is second on the team in goals with three to his credit. Mercer's keeper, Greg Ranjitsingh, has been impressive in the early going, holding a goals against average of just 0.86 through nine games.
Series History
ETSU and Mercer have met four times in series history, with the Bears holding a slight 2-1-1 advantage. Mercer took the series lead in last year's meeting at Bear Field, defeating ETSU, 1-0, on Carl-Oscar Andersson's game-winner in the 79th minute.
It has been a different story at Summers-Taylor Stadium, where Mercer has never defeated the Bucs in two meetings. Two years ago, ETSU walked away victorious, 2-1, during its A-Sun championship campaign. The first game between the two sides came in 2008 in Johnson City, and played to a, 2-2, draw.
Live stats for Sunday's game will be available through Stat Broadcast on ETSUBucs.com. Free live-streaming video will also be available on ASun.TV. New for the 2012-13 season, all games streamed on ASun.TV will be provided free of charge.
ETSU Notes
- ETSU is 1-0-1 all-time versus Mercer at Summers-Taylor Stadium. The Bears lead the all-time series, 2-1-1.
- In A-Sun openers, ETSU is 1-2-1 in its brief four-year history. Its only win came in 2010, defeating former conference member Campbell, 4-0.
- David Geno is two goals and three points away from Aaron Schoenfeld's ETSU records for career goals and points. The junior has 18 goals and 11 assists to total his 47 points. On Thursday at Furman, Geno broke Schoenfeld career mark of 10 assists in the draw.
- Ryan Coulter is one save away from breaking the ETSU career saves record. He and former Buc James Holt each currently have 104.
- Sunday's game starts a stretch of four consecutive home games for ETSU, consisting of Mercer, North Florida, Jacksonville and No. 16 Wake Forest.

|Diner Dash: Flo on the Go
|PlayFirst, Inc.
|Flo is back, but this time, she is on vacation. Join Flo as she works as a waitress while on vacation. Flo was planning on just taking a nice, quiet vacation, but she keeps losing her clothes and needs to work to make money to buy new clothing. The gameplay is very similar to the other games in the series. You play as Flo, who is a waitress. Your job is to seat and serve customers and to clean up after they leave. Different customers act differently, with some being very patient, some being loud and annoying, and some being in a hurry. Also, each person is a certain color and if you can match the person with a seat that is the same color, you can get bonus points. First, you'll need to seat your customers. Then, when they are ready to order, you will take their orders and then serve them their food. When they are done, you can collect their money and clean up their table. Sometimes, there will be other things to do as well, such as serving drinks or desserts or cleaning up spills. There are some notable differences in this game from the previous games in the series. Some of those differences include sometimes having 2 babies at a table having "love birds" as a customer type. Also, you are not working at regular restaurants... you're on vacation. Instead of restaurants, you will serve customers in different locations, such as on a cruise ship or a train. Sometimes, you will even have to serve customers in the dark, with only a flashlight to guide you. During the game, you will unlock new clothing and you will be able to dress Flo up in a variety of different shirts, pants/shorts/skirts, shoes, hats/sunglasses, and aprons. You can also upgrade each restaurant. However, unlike in previous games in the series, you can upgrade any part you want to instead of having to only upgrade items in a specific order. You only have a single upgrade option for each item, though... no choosing different colors or designs.

091) Ukemi in Aikido: April 2012
Aikido practice should encompass 100% of our training. That means that we need to focus on the ukemi component of our practice for half of the time that we spend training. I would venture to say that most of us do not put that much focus and attention toward our ukemi practice. Ukemi practice is so important that traditional training in Japanese martial arts has the instructor serve primarily in the role of uke. I would like to use this month to look at this important aspect of our training.
Ukemi is mistakenly viewed as taking rolls when we are thrown in Aikido. Ukemi is simply the act of receiving forces directed at our bodies by an attacker. What we do in receiving these forces and why we do what we do are important questions to ask in our training. I view ukemi as having at least three potential levels to it. The most basic level of ukemi is taking incoming force and using this force to allow yourself to create a safe space between you and the attacker. This can take the form of changing levels (heights of orientation), changing the space between you and your attacker, and changing the shape of your body. Most ukemi in Aikido takes the form of rolls. Rolls enable us to change our height level and space between us and our attackers. The next level of ukemi is receiving the incoming force and neutralizing the force so that you are not off-balanced. You are free to be able to move and respond to forces in a coherent manner. The highest level of ukemi is being able to receive incoming forces and immediately use those forces to execute techniques. You are not reacting to and reversing a technique, but using the incoming force to dictate the techniques that you engage in.
I believe strongly that it is important to be sensitive to what is going on around you in order to do good ukemi. That means that simply throwing yourself into a roll before you need to is as foolish and unhelpful as seeing how tough and unmovable you can be. Neither of these responses help you to develop sensitivity and awareness to what is going on to you and around you. The sensitivity to and awareness of what is going on should ALWAYS be firmly entrenched with martial sensibility. The link demonstrates sensitivity to what is going on around you, but is absolutely DEVOID of any martial common sense. I do not believe that teaching people to over-react in a manner that makes you move vulnerable to being injured contributes anything positive to a person's martial arts abilities.
If we are sensitive to receiving incoming force, we can "listen" to our body, incoming forces from the attacker and your environment so that you can respond appropriately. If you are working on your rolls, being soft and sensitive to your environment is important. The surface that you will be landing on will most likely be harder than you are. Tension and stiffness in your body will become quickly apparent to you when you meet the ground. The value of rounded shapes will also be come readily apparent. There will be times where remaining in a rounded shaped will not be advantageous to you and your lack of pliable body and sensitivity will inform you as to how you should change and adapt. Aiki skills are important components in enabling your body to remain integrated (at a physical and energetic level) and connected so that your rolls (or other options) are not forced, floppy or haphazard. These skills enable your body to respond to changing conditions in a manner that keeps you still able to respond to further actions by the nage.
Aiki skills are necessary components in being able to neutralize incoming forces while being able to remain connected to the person without becoming unbalanced in the process. Specifically, this involves In-Yo-Ho. Incoming forces are received with a receiving connection in one place (lets say left side) while you maintain an active connection in another place (right side). I work on this skill set on a daily basis in teaching. it is very important to feel how the students are executing waza. I want to maintain a clean connection with them from start to finish. Maintaining this type of connection also helps to minimize the possibility of being accidentally injured when all types of waza are being executed. For my own education, this type of connection helps me to develop an ever increasing awareness of where and how I can execute waza at any point in this process without the nage being aware of what I can do until it is too late. This is a valuable feedback mechanism for the nages so that they remain cognizant of exposing themselves to being reversed or attacked. This type of practice should be done with the EXPLICIT understanding and acceptance from both people. The last thing that anybody needs is to have someone misunderstand what you are doing and mistake you for being a passive-aggressive jerk. This can and will happen which necessitates the overt communication between training partners. Far too often, nages do not expect this type of response when the waza is simply too full of holes to be genuinely effective. The initial response is to project the problem onto the uke, rather than accepting responsibility for the failure to properly execute a technique. This is a common problem when the practice to too collusive and that is too little overt communication between the partners. Good communication should be hallmark of cooperative and instructive practice. This is a mandatory component of training in my school.
As one's ukemi and aiki skills become better developed, you become aware that besides grounding out, or reversing a technique, you can begin to execute techniques based upon the person executing techniques on you. This is high level ukemi practice that helps you as nage as much as it helps you as uke. Your ability to regulate and control incoming and outgoing energy in a dynamic and active environment, while remaining centered is the hallmark of an excellent martial artist. This type of practice should be agreed upon ahead of time. This is clearly cooperative practice; anything else would begin to resemble a push-hands contest. This stage of development is where the spontaneous execution of techniques occur. I wish us all the best luck in getting to this place through a lot of hard, honest training.
Train safely and with sincerity and respect for yourself, your partners and your teachers.

The question "What is the difference between a mutex and a semaphore?" is short and easily phrased. Answering it is more difficult. In this first installment of a series of articles on the proper use of a real-time operating system (RTOS), we examine the important differences between a mutex and a semaphore.
After conversations with countless embedded software developers over many years, I have concluded that even very experienced RTOS users have trouble distinguishing the proper uses of mutexes and semaphores. This is unfortunate and dangerous, as misuse of either RTOS primitive can easily lead to unintended errors in embedded systems that could turn them into life-threatening products.
View our archived webinar on this and related topics.
In this article, I aim to distinguish these two important RTOS primitives once and for all, by debunking a popular myth about their similarity.
Myth: Mutexes and Semaphores are Interchangeable
Reality: While mutexes and semaphores have some similarities in their implementation, they should always be used differently.
The most common (but nonetheless incorrect) answer to the question posed at the top is that mutexes and semaphores are very similar, with the only significant difference being that semaphores can count higher than one. Nearly all engineers seem to properly understand that a mutex is a binary flag used to protect a shared resource by ensuring mutual exclusion inside critical sections of code. But when asked to expand on how to use a "counting semaphore," most engineers—varying only in their degree of confidence—express some flavor of the textbook opinion that these are used to protect several equivalent resources. 1
It is easiest to explain why the "multiple resource" scenario is flawed by way of an analogy. If you think of a mutex as a key owned by the operating system, it is easy to see that an individual mutex is analogous to the bathroom key owned by an urban coffee shop. At the coffee shop, there is one bathroom and one bathroom key. If you ask to use the bathroom when the key is not available, you are asked to wait in a queue for the key. By a very similar protocol, a mutex helps multiple tasks serialize their accesses to shared global resources and gives waiting tasks a place to wait for their turn.
This simple resource protection protocol does not scale to the case of two equivalent bathrooms. If a semaphore were a generalization of a mutex able to protect two or more identical shared resources, then in our analogy, it would be a basket containing two identical keys (i.e., each of the keys would work in either bathroom door).
A semaphore cannot solve a multiple identical resource problem on its own. The visitor only knows that he has a key, not yet which bathroom is free. If you try to use a semaphore like this, you'll find you always need other state information—itself typically a shared resource protected via a separate mutex. 2 It turns out the best way to design a two-bathroom coffee shop is to offer distinct keys to distinct bathrooms (e.g., men's vs. women's), which is analogous to using two distinct mutexes.
The correct use of a semaphore is for signaling from one task to another. A mutex is meant to be taken and released, always in that order, by each task that uses the shared resource it protects. By contrast, tasks that use semaphores either signal or wait—not both. For example, Task 1 may contain code to post (i.e., signal or increment) a particular semaphore when the "power" button is pressed and Task 2, which wakes the display, pends on that same semaphore. In this scenario, one task is the producer of the event signal; the other the consumer.
To summarize with an example, here's how to use a mutex:
/* Task 1 */ mutexWait(mutex_mens_room); // Safely use shared resource mutexRelease(mutex_mens_room); /* Task 2 */ mutexWait(mutex_mens_room); // Safely use shared resource mutexRelease(mutex_mens_room);
By contrast, you should always use a semaphore like this:
/* Task 1 - Producer */ semPost(sem_power_btn); // Send the signal /* Task 2 - Consumer */ semPend(sem_power_btn); // Wait for signal
Importantly, semaphores can also be used to signal from an interrupt service routine (ISR) to a task. Signaling a semaphore is a non-blocking RTOS behavior and thus ISR safe. Because this technique eliminates the error-prone need to disable interrupts at the task level, signaling from within an ISR is an excellent way to make embedded software more reliable by design.
Priority Inversion
Another important distinction between a mutex and a semaphore is that the proper use of a mutex to protect a shared resource can have a dangerous unintended side effect. Any two RTOS tasks that operate at different priorities and coordinate via a mutex, create the opportunity for priority inversion. The risk is that a third task that does not need that mutex—but operates at a priority between the other tasks—may from time to time interfere with the proper execution of the high priority task.
An unbounded priority inversion can spell disaster in a real-time system, as it violates one of the critical assumptions underlying the Rate Monotonic Algorithm (RMA). Since RMA is the optimal method of assigning relative priorities to real-time tasks and the only way to ensure multiple tasks with deadlines will always meet them, it is a very bad thing to risk breaking one of its assumptions. Additionally, a priority inversion in the field is a very difficult type of problem to debug, as it is not easily reproducible.
Fortunately, the risk of priority inversion can be eliminated by changing the operating system's internal implementation of mutexes. Of course, this adds to the overhead cost of acquiring and releasing mutexes. Fortunately, it is not necessary to change the implementation of semaphores, which do not cause priority inversion when used for signaling. This is a second important reason for having distinct APIs for these two very different RTOS primitives.
The History of Semaphores and Mutexes
The cause of the widespread modern confusion between mutexes and semaphores is historical, as it dates all the way back to the 1974 invention of the Semaphore (capital "S", in this article) by Djikstra. Prior to that date, none of the interrupt-safe task synchronization and signaling mechanisms known to computer scientists was efficiently scalable for use by more than two tasks. Dijkstra's revolutionary, safe-and-scalable Semaphore was applied in both critical section protection and signaling. And thus the confusion began.
However, it later became obvious to operating system developers, after the appearance of the priority-based preemptive RTOS (e.g., VRTX, ca. 1980), publication of academic papers establishing RMA and the problems caused by priority inversion, and a paper on priority inheritance protocols in 1990, 3 it became apparent that mutexes must be more than just semaphores with a binary counter.
Unfortunately, many sources of information, including textbooks, user manuals, and wikis, perpetuate the historical confusion and make matters worse by introducing the additional names "binary semaphore" (for mutex) and "counting semaphore."
I hope this article helps you understand, use, and explain mutexes and semaphores as distinct tools.

1. Truth be told, many "textbooks" on operating systems fail to define the term mutex (or real-time). But consider a typical snippet from the QSemaphore page in Trolltech's Qt Embedded 4.4 Reference Documentation: "A semaphore is a generalization of a mutex. While a mutex can only be locked once, it's possible to acquire a semaphore multiple times. Semaphores are typically used to protect a certain number of identical resources." The Qt documentation then goes on to elaborate (at length and with code snippets) a solution to a theoretical problem that lacks critical details (e.g., the need for a second type of RTOS primitive) for proper implementation. [back]
2. Another option is to use an RTOS-provided message queue to eliminate the semaphore, the unprotected shared state information, and the mutex. [back]

good article...........but i
Binary Semaphore vs. Mutex
Very helpful.
Mutex Vs Semaphore
Hello Mr. Barr,
Yes this is a very insightful explanation.
When I was going through one of the books which discussed RTOS'es, I found the following explanation.
Binary semaphore can be released by any task, even a task that did not originally acquire the semaphore.
But Mutexes have the task ownership property which allows only the task acquired to release it.
By the statement above, there is a fundamental difference in the way a Mutex and semaphore behaves.
The book mentions Mutex as semaphores however.
Only after perusal of this discussion I am able to rightly make a distinction amongst the two.
In broader sense use semaphore for signaling and use Mutex for locking a shared resource is what you have tried to cover. Please add more details if my understanding is not apt.
Date of invention of semaphore
You say "the 1974 invention of the Semaphore", but it was much earlier than that. For example, Dijkstra's famous "Cooperating Sequential Processes (EWD123) was written in 1965, presented at a 1966 NATO Summer School, and published in a 1968 book Programming Languages, edited by F. Genuys. See http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/ewd01xx/EWD123.PDF .
Critical Sections VS Mutex & Semaphore
this is a very helpful article. However I have some queries.
1. You have write this in your article that, "A semaphore cannot solve a multiple identical resource problem on its own. The visitor only knows that he has a key, not yet which bathroom is free. If you try to use a semaphore like this, you'll find you always need other state information--itself typically a shared resource protected via a separate mutex" that means we have to use mutex with semaphores. mutexes ensures sequential access of the resources while semaphores ensures availability of the resource. Am I right? Please elaborate if I am wrong. A code snippet is preferably helpful. Secondly, does any recent framework (.NET for example) introduces a comprehensive version of Semaphore that underlying handles both issues.
2. you have also said that, "The visitor only knows that he has a key". Does the process acquire the lock of the resource but wait for semaphore to gets its turn. Am I right? If it is true, do we have to handle it ourselves?
3. What are the key differences in Critical section & Monitors as compared to semaphores and mutexes. what are the appropriate use of each.
4. Is the use or the behavior of Mutex or semaphore differs in Multi-process access and in multi-threaded access
5. In semaphore implementation, the initialization of integer value
varies with the number of shared resources.

Rate-monotonic scheduling is not the *only* scheduling method that ensures that deadlines are met. Another example is deadline-monotonic scheduling (DMA), which is often better.
Usage case of counting semaphore
Hello, I'm a bit late to the party, but anyway, great thanks for the article.
But, you haven't mentioned the usage case of counting semaphore: when should I use it? I understand clearly what mutex is for, as well as what so-called binary semaphore is for. But, when should I use semaphore with max count > 1? I elaborated more on this on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26217282/the-usage-case-of-counting-s...
I would be very glad if you explain the use case of counting semaphore.

Jimmie Lambert 1937 - 2008 Neodesha
A memorial service for Lt. Col. Jimmie Lambert, 70, was held on Tuesday at Christ Church under the direction of Penwell-Gabel Loran Fawcett Chapel. Inurnment of the cremated remains will be held in Leavenworth National Cemetery at 1:30 p.m. today.
Mr. Lambert, of Neodesha, died Thursday, May 8, 2008, at his home.
The son of Fred and Opal (Noakes) Lambert, he was born July 22, 1937, near New Albany. He graduated from Fredonia High School in 1956 and later received his associate's degree from Labette County Community College. Mr. Lambert joined the National Guard following high school and transferred to active duty with the U.S. Army. While in the service, he did two tours of duty in Vietnam. He rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel, retiring in 1985.
Following his retirement from the military, he worked 16 years as Chief of Supply and Services for the U.S. Civil Service Office. He retired from the civil service at Fort Leavenworth.
He worked full time for 12 years as a police officer for the Tonganoxie Police Department. In his later years, he continued to work part time for the same department. For the past four years, he and his wife worked as volunteers for the National Park Services. While in that position, the couple worked the sea turtle rescue program in Texas. They also served in Montana where they gave historical accurate interpretive presentations at Grant-Kohr's Historical Site, which is the only working ranch in the NPS.
He was a member of the Congregational Church of Tonganoxie, the American Legion, the VFW Post 9271 and the Military Officers Association.
On Dec. 26, 1956, he married Geraldine Milner in Fredonia. They were later divorced. He was united in marriage to Juanita Blew on April 14, 1979, in Hutchinson. She survives at the home.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by six sons, Tim, Garry and Shawn, all of Neodesha, Ronnie, Ninilchik, Alaska, Paul, Memphis, Tenn., and Matthew, Edgerton; one sister, Terri Floyd of Fredonia; 10 grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

Bigger whiner about money: Broncos Ryan Clady or coach George Karl?
On his way out the Pepsi Center door, coach George Karl called the thought process of his boss "very stupid." Hmm, I wonder why negotiations on a contract extension with Nuggets president Josh Kroenke didn't got very well.
In pro sports, it's often about the money. Broncos offensive tackle Ryan Clady is balking at the franchise tag put on him by the local NFL team. And he hears criticism of being selfish for his dissatisfaction with an offer that would pay him $9.8 million this season. Clady seeks a long-term deal.
After being bounced in the first round of the playoffs yet again, Karl sought a long-term deal, rather than being satisfied with serving out the final year of a contract scheduled to pay him $4.5 million. When negotiations broke down, Karl tried to portray himself as a victim of what he called stupid thinking by Nuggets management.
Why do we think players are greedy when they want more financial security, yet a coach is a lame duck if he is burdened with working in the final year of his contract? I think it's a double standard. Listen to Lance Britton of Mile High Sports Radio and I discuss it here:
I'm on the side of Clady and against Karl. Doesn't mean I'm right. What say you?

Colorado Springs church dubs Senate bill on children "United Nations conspiracy"
Remember when Republican Dan Maes thought Denver's B-cycle program was a U.N. conspiracy? Now a Colorado Springs-based church thinks a Senate bill on children is another United Nations conspiracy.
SB 12-130 creates the Office of Early Childhood and transfers several programs from within the the Department of Human Services and other agencies into the newly created office. The measure, by Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, and Rep. Tom Massey, R-Poncha Springs, is awaiting debate by the full Senate.
"The liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is a fundamental right of the family," Wellsprings Church wrote in an e-mail opposing the bill. "Today, there is an effort to circumvent not only US law, but the fundamental right of parents through the UN via a treaty called the UN CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD."
Wellspring claims the Senate bill intends to "make the state responsible for child rearing at first … eventually shifting the full responsibility to the state, stripping parental rights even in the home." It also claims the bill is a "massive abuse of government power against families, home schooling … "
Newell said it's a "complicated bill, but even more delicate are these few outliers who just don't have the facts."

A New Hampshire man shoved a pair of panties in his ex-girlfriend�s throat and tried to strangle the woman as she struggled to free herself while parked in a car in Natick on Sunday, a prosecutor said Monday.
After�she freed herself, the bloodied woman flagged down another car for help, but Easton Edward Kezer, 27, tried to convince the driver everything was all right and to leave them alone, prosecutor Laura Montes said during Kezer�s Natick District Court arraignment. Natick District Court is housed in Framingham District Court.
"She flagged down the car, with blood coming from her nose and mouth," said Montes. "He got out of the car and said, �She�s crazy, she�s crazy. I�m trying to get her home.�"
Instead, the driver called Natick Police and they arrested Kezer at 11:56 a.m.
Montes said Kezer had sent 60 text messages to the woman, telling her if she did not meet with him, he would purposely overdose on heroin, killing himself. The woman, fearing that he would follow through, met with Kezer.
As she drove and he was a passenger, he put the car in park and attacked her, punching her several times, the prosecutor said.
"He took a pair of panties from his pants and placed them in her mouth and he began to choke her to the point she couldn�t breathe," said Montes. "She kicked both of her legs as she tried to get away."
Montes said the woman told police that this wasn�t the first time he assaulted her, but she did not report previous assaults.
Police charged Kezer, of 23 Emerald Drive, Derry, N.H.,�with attempted murder and assault and battery. Montes asked that Kezer be held without bail pending a hearing to determine if he is a danger to the public.
Kezer�s lawyer, David Levinson, said his client denies any of the allegations.
"He denies any type of contact in respect to the attempted murder," said Levinson. "According to my reading of the police report, he is being overcharged with attempted murder.��
During a restraining order hearing, Kezer asked Judge Martine Carroll to not issue the order.
"We got in a car and talked about it (their relationship)," said Kezer. "We both acted out physically. I�ve never been the aggressor. There�s no reason we can�t be together. This was a tough day."
He also told the judge if the woman went forward with the allegations that the woman was being "malicious," and not following up on her promise to "be there for me."
Carroll granted the woman a restraining order for one year, banning Kezer from contacting or abusing her. She also ordered Kezer held without bail pending�the dangerousness hearing on Wednesday.

When an Indian man asked a doctor to examine his irritated eye, the doctor discovered the man had a little squirming company. A 15-cm parasite was swimming about around the fellow's eyeball, and the surgery was recorded for Internet posterity.
75-year-old P.K. Krishnamurthy had been suffering from eye pain for two weeks before seeking help from Mumbai's Fortis Hospital. The hospital staff, who have hear of the occasional two or three-centimeter worm pulled from patients' eyeballs, believe that this wriggler may be a record-holder. They removed the parasite in a 15-minute surgery.
So how can you avoid getting an eyeball parasite of your own? The examining doctor, V. Seetharaman, believes it entered through a cut on Krishnamurthy's foot or via improperly cooked food. Just remember to see your eye doctor if eyeball irritation persists.

Virgo tests are implemented using JUnit and EasyMock. In addition, integration tests which require an OSGi environment use the Virgo test framework.
Virgo Test Framework
The Virgo Test Framework is maintained in its own git repository. It is fairly primitive, providing just two test runners and an annotation.
Test Runners
The test framework provides the following test runners.
The OsgiTestRunner is for testing components that need a simple OSGi environment. It is invoked via the JUnit @RunWith class annotation, for example:
import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.eclipse.virgo.test.framework.OsgiTestRunner; @RunWith(OsgiTestRunner.class) public class EventLogIntegrationTests { ...
OsgiTestRunner launches Equinox, installs the project containing the testcase class as a bundle, starts the bundle, and then runs the testcase class from inside the bundle using a standard JUnit runner.
The DmKernelTestRunner, which should probably be renamed to VirgoKernelTestRunner, is for testing components that need a Virgo kernel environment complete with kernel and user regions. It must be used in combination with suitable configuration to launch the kernel bundles and the bundle on which the kernel depends.
It is invoked via the JUnit @RunWith class annotation, for example:
import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.eclipse.virgo.test.framework.dmkernel.DmKernelTestRunner; @RunWith(DmKernelTestRunner.class) public abstract class AbstractKernelIntegrationTest { ...
The DmKernelTestRunner extends the function of the OsgiTestRunner to wait for the user region to start before running the testcase.
|Default Value
|Specifies the location from which the test framework should load its configuration
Test Configuration
The test configuration file specifies a list of bundles to be installed and optionally started as well as kernel and other properties.
The Virgo web layer has a fairly typical configuration file.
The standard OSGi utility class FrameworkUtil is used to obtain the test bundle context as in the following example:
protected final BundleContext testBundleContext = FrameworkUtil.getBundle(getClass()).getBundleContext();
