In the series premiere of TNT's new medical drama "Monday Mornings," Dr. Tyler Wilson's boss calls the talented neurosurgeon arrogant, careless and reckless.
Those words sting enough, but the boss delivers the verbal beating in front of Wilson's peers at a weekly M&M, or morbidity and mortality, conference in which doctors' decisions are scrutinized in the wake of patient deaths.
"We do get to see a human side of these guys, which isn't just who's having an affair with whom or the office politics," says Jamie Bamber, who plays Wilson, suggesting that by showing the "brutal" sessions in which doctors are picked apart, "Monday Mornings," which debuts at 9 p.m. CT Feb. 4, is a "departure from the way doctors are presented on TV.
"It's genuinely about their ability to open up someone's head and tinker around inside and get the right results, which is a massive responsibility which no human being can take on without any kind of sense of their own fallibility."
The new approach is provided by veteran producer David E. Kelley and Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the Atlanta neurosurgeon and chief medical correspondent for CNN, who has adapted his 2012 book that fictionalized many of his own experiences. Their participation is part of what attracted Bamber to the show, as well as his role.
"I loved the idea of playing the completely confident, cocksure surgeon who seems to have the rug pulled from underneath him the first time we really get to know him," he said.
But Bamber, most famous for playing Lee "Apollo" Adama on "Battlestar Galactica," says he would not appreciate those peer-witnessed reprimands in his line of work.
"I'd absolutely hate it."
Bamber tells why he'd hate it, and talks more about Wilson, brain surgery versus Viper piloting, and life after "Battlestar Galactica," in the Q&A below.
Before we talk about "Monday Mornings," I wanted to mention that one of my favorite roles of yours post-"Battlestar" was in "Outcasts."
Yeah that was fun. I enjoyed that one. It was a shame that the series didn't really take in the UK, but it was great. It was a funny one because I was approached to be a regular in it but I felt it was a little too close to "Battlestar." But I really liked this other role. And they took a real while to hem and haw but eventually they conceded that I might have a point. It would be more interesting to be the sort of red herring and to get killed off. But I had a great time shooting it. I loved the director, Bharat [Nalluri]. And the cast, they were great, but I was sorry to see it didn't last.
And it was fun to see you after playing Apollo as a bad guy.
Yeah, I go the other way a little bit, but it's funny 'cause when I read the script I honestly thought he was the lead of the show.
I did, too, when it started.
Yeah, I thought you know he's this outcast guy. The title is "Outcasts." He gets outcast from the "Outcasts." I thought it was perfect, but anyway, bullet to the head. [Laughs.]
On to "Monday Mornings," tell me what attracted you to this project?
In a nutshell, David E. Kelley, and then Sanjay Gupta--the great legal writer with the great medical communicator to the masses in this country and the perfect combination of the two together doing this medical drama.
The thing about this show is it does have this sort of legal with a small "L" kind of theatrical kangaroo court in the center of it that sort of fuses both worlds. David's natural flair for the podium and the witness stand and the judges' bench [combined], obviously, with Sanjay's talent for the medical stories and his talent as a storyteller that came through in his novel. So it was really those two names that give you a lot of trust.
When you read a pilot, the script can be great but without the pedigree of someone who knows how to turn one episode into multiple episodes, you're always wishing and guessing and sort of slightly leaping in to the dark. But with those two guys you know that leap was onto sort of pretty reliable ground. And we knew that we were going to find our footing.
The biggest single factor other than those two names was the character. He had a great arc in that first episode and I loved the idea of playing the completely confident, cocksure surgeon who seems to have the rug pulled from underneath him the first time we really get to know him. So it was a very exciting start and lends itself to many more permutations further down the track.
After seeing what happens to him in the morbidity and mortality sessions, I really thought we were in for another, "Uh-oh, Jamie's going to be out of the show quickly."
[Laughs.] There you go.
"This doctor's going to quit his job."
"Jamie can't stay the course." [Laughs.] Yeah, it's brutal but we're used to sort of, on TV anyway, giving surgeons and doctors a massive amount of trust and respect. They're sort of infallible. That's not completely undermined on this show, but at least you see their feet of clay. You see the fissures within their very composed, statuesque front that they present to patients. And we pick them apart a bit. They go through the ringer just as much as the patients do, albeit not in a life-threatening but in a career-threatening kind of way. And I think that's quite a new departure from the way doctors are presented on TV, in mainstream dramas anyway.
I wonder if it'll make viewers question their doctors a little more?
I think it might. And I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. I think for patients to question doctors is a good thing. I think maybe in this country we take the legal route too quickly, after-the-fact. It might be constructive to have patience a little better informed and to be able to really engage their doctors.
I think my character has a line in one of the shows, when a patient asks him, "Are you any good?" And he chuckles to himself and says, "That's the one question that nobody ever asks and one question that patients should ask." What makes you so good at this particular procedure? Why should I trust you? Why should my life be better off in your hands than anybody else's?
So yeah, we do get to see a human side of these guys, which isn't just who's having an affair with whom or the office politics. It's genuinely about their ability to open up someone's head and tinker around inside and get the right results, which is a massive responsibility which no human being can take on without any kind of sense of their own fallibility.
Although, the surgeons that I have met are insanely confident people, I mean they have to be to do what they do. But you know, for an insanely confident person to be presented on screen, you really have to see the potential for a meltdown. And that's what we offer the audience--the potential for these God-like figures to crumble. And I think as a result you have more respect for them at the end of the episodes.
Do you think they do end up second-guessing themselves?
Of course. We all hear stories about hospitals and surgical departments; they'll say they have the very best in the country. "You couldn't go to a better place than here." But that means that across town in the same city, there is in another hospital that is not the best in the country and the surgical department there will know it, and some of the patients might even know it. But for whatever reason--their insurance not being up to snuff or whatever it is--people are forced to put their trust in the hands of people who aren't the best. And if the best is out there, there is also the worst somewhere.
I assume Dr. Hooten's (played by Alfred Molina) method in those meetings comes from something that has happened to Sanjay Gupta?
That's really a question for Sanjay, obviously, but I think so. I think all of this is based on many people he's worked with and hospitals he was taught by. And I believe his book is dedicated to his first chairman of surgery or a mentor of his. And I'm sure there's a lot of this character in various people that Sanjay's come across. He's told me as much. But I don't think any of them are really easily pinnable on any one person.
What Sanjay has said about the M&M meetings is that they do happen in every single hospital across the land, but some take it more seriously than others. They can be a massive asset in terms of drawing the most talented people because talented people thrive in a challenging environment, in an environment which forces them to bring up their best.
The backstory to Chelsea General [of the show] is it's a teaching hospital; one of the most preeminent teaching hospitals in a sort of second city. It's Portland, Ore.; it's not New York, Boston. It's not one of the big academic centers in the country. So this hospital is really a reason why people are drawn there. It's not the kind of city that everyone wants to necessarily gravitate toward, because it's not that well known. It's not on the medical map in the way that some cities are. But this particular hospital has made a name for itself largely through the exacting standards of Harding Hooten.
So how do you feel about his methods? The way he dresses down his doctors would be the kind of thing that in some jobs the boss would do in privacy.
You're dead right. My feelings are very much tied into the way he treats my character. And I feel pretty hard done by it, to be honest, after 10 episodes of this thing where I do very little wrong and get hauled up there on a weekly basis for stuff that's largely personal and completely incidental. And sometimes I think his sense of the theatrical and his sense of owning that room and the respect that he commands, I think, goes to his head and he gets carried away with the sound of his own voice. That's Tyler Wilson's honest opinion.
I think my character came to that hospital because of the man's reputation, but the man isn't perfect. He's great at his job. These meetings are definitely an asset but sometimes he gets carried away and I think he oversteps the mark with the fact that everyone does listen to what he says any he starts picking apart surgeons techniques and their bedside manner and their personal life, which have no real relevance to the definition of the meeting, which is morbidity and what's healthy.
Something has to go drastically wrong for this meeting to be ignited as a necessity. And I think a lot of time he calls this meeting because he expects perfection. And when anybody lets themselves down in even a tiny way--never mind what happened to the patient; often they're fine--he still likes to haul people up there and make them squirm and wiggle at the end of his particular baited fishing line.
My character definitely is a bit dismissive of that part of the theatricality of it. But I don't think that's the overall opinion that the viewers will have. That's just very, very Tyler Wilson, me having had Tyler's experience over 10 episodes.
Would you as an actor, welcome a director sitting everyone down at the end of a day and saying, "Jamie, you sucked at this. You did this."
[Laughs.] Right. No, I'd absolutely hate it. And I think it would be terrible man management because acting, much like brain surgery--please quote me on that--acting much like brain surgery is a confidence business.
If you are not confident, if you don't have a sense of trusting your instincts and being willing to bare yourself in a way that perhaps is surprising or may cause someone to laugh, whatever it is. If you feel any self-consciousness at all you're inhibited. And your performance will suffer no matter what kind of performance it is. Even if it's someone who's emotionally fragile and not self-confident, you have to have the confidence in your own ability to present that fragility.
So, the mistake the directors make again and again and again is to talk too much and to comment too much on what someone's doing. Great directors know what the process is and know it's about layers and finding things and accidents and just allow actors to explore with a bit of encouragement and a compass. And maybe pull them back occasionally when they teeter over the edge, but negativity is a very I think precarious thing to use as a director of actors. And I would imagine the same is true of surgeons. So I think it's a balancing act, a very fine balancing act. You have to instill confidence, first and foremost.
We see a bit of Tyler's backstory with the flashbacks to when he was a kid and the doctor came in and said that his brother didn't make it.
The first episode is a bit traumatic for him.
Right. Is that why he became a doctor?
Yeah, I mean, none of this is explicit in the series. It's made explicit in Sanjay's book, which was a blessing as an actor because you get this sort of back story handed to you that the audience of the TV show will never really see because I'm not sure we're going to explore it.
But between you and me and everyone else, yeah, he experienced a very traumatic moment in a hospital where the hospital let itself down in its communication more than anything. It's the way that his mother and he were informed, the lack of empathy. The lack of any kind of counseling really scarred him and in Sanjay's book it causes a marriage to break up. There's another tragedy in the family. A sister of his is shot and he suffers. He becomes very alone during childhood and distant and rejects school for a bit. And then throws himself in it and finds this path that is--it doesn't take Freud to work out. He's trying to reassemble the broken pieces of his own childhood. And as a result, he prides himself on the way he treats patients and their families. But for [Wilson] to lose a young boy on the table in the very first episode is deeply, deeply traumatic.
So what made you become an actor, Jamie?
[Laughs.] A similar traumatic experience in my childhood when my mom asked me to play the Wicked Witch of the West in the "Wizard of Oz," age 6, in Paris when we were expats over there. My mom was an actress and she was teaching a kids theater group.
It wasn't traumatic at all. [Laughs.] I wasn't that kind of child; I was naturally an athlete. I'm much more of a doer rather than a talker, but she encouraged me to do this and ... I loved it. It was just something that took me out of myself and I kept on auditioning for school plays all through my education and with more success toward the latter years. Yeah, it's really a hobby that's turned into a career, which has been great. I've loved every second of it, but it's my mom's fault, really.
How has working with the surgery gear been? For your character its very technical and more than just a scalpel. How does that compare to running the viper gizmos on "Battlestar?"
You know what, there were similarities. And there are differences. Yeah, there's a lot of gear; it gets hot and you're surrounded with paraphernalia and many layers and you can't really take it off between takes. So you have this barrier between you and what you'd like to be doing.
But the Viper stuff was much more hermetically sealed. Not only was I in a neoprene suit with a helmet attached and air pipes up the back and stop this thing fogging up so you couldn't hear anyone. And you have an earwig in and there's only one microphone on set. And then you get locked in to the Viper sometimes an hour, two hours on end. You could only talk to anyone if someone approaches the mic in the big old soundstage. So they all go off between takes and have a Coke and have a chat. [Laughs.] You're completely alone in this sweat suit.
So the surgical thing isn't as drastic as that. But before his surgery scene, there's definitely an intake of breath. It's physical. You're on your feet for a long time. You're wearing all this stuff. In the times between takes it's kind of a pain, but I really enjoy that.
I enjoyed the Viper stuff immensely, the performance elements of it. I enjoyed trying to make something to look real that you have really no experience of but gradually through working and through some research you do develop a facility for flying a fighter in space, or for holding the surgical instruments and creating a little procedure that is always filmed.
Everything that we do with our hands while we're working in a scene comes up on the monitors behind our heads and in front of the people's heads that we're talking to. So our hands are always on camera as well as our face. We have to kind of know what we're doing and I enjoy that discipline. I enjoy that slight of hand trying to convince the audience that we actually know what we're doing. And by the end of the day, I kind of think I do. [Laughs.]
You've played a pilot, a lawyer--I mean a cop--and now a doctor, among many other things, of course. But any of those you think you'd be good at for real?
I think I'd be better as a pilot really of the three just because it would take a parallel life. I can be a pilot. Like I can train to be a pilot. I'm too old now to join the military probably, but I bet you I could get my pilot's license and then get in the long line for a pilot job somewhere.
Whereas if I had to go back to school to study chemistry and biology to get the right high school diploma and to go to college to get the right thing to go to med school to do another 14 years or whatever the neurosurgeons have to do, I think I'd be dead by the time that all got done. [Laughs.] And I enjoyed science at school; I just chose to follow the arts at a very young age.
The lawyer thing; I think I could litigate. I could stand up in court, but I would not have the patience to go through those ridiculous sentences of 15 lines that actually come to amount to meaning nothing by the end of it in terms of the way I read it. I can't read a contract of my own. I've never read a contract through from beginning to end so I don't think I can have the patience for it but I think I could do the litigating. I think that would suit me.
I've always wanted to ask someone like you who's been in an intensely popular series, how was the transition after "Battlestar Galactica?"
The transition itself immediately afterwards was not a problem. Because the unique nature of television series like "Battlestar" these days is they never go away. They're still starting. The experience is just beginning for people all over the country and on a weekly basis. I bumped into a half a dozen people who come up to me and said, "We just watched the mini-series." So for me in terms of the public reception it's still alive.
And people who have seen it even back in the day are very fond of it that you get an immense sense of achievement and that you're relevant. Though you haven't been working on the show, the show still lives, which is usually gratifying.
You did "Law & Order UK" after "BSG," back in Britain and in a suirt and tie.
It was a bit of a shock personally when I went back to do work and did "Law and Order" because I just realized how blessed I was on "Battlestar." How challenged, how the stories never let you relax in any kind of comfort zone. And you didn't know what you're doing week in, week out. And you were genuinely itching to read the next installment in this saga as a fan as much as an actor, and then you got to bring it to life. It was a great blessing and all the people involved are still close friends. So I see them on a daily basis.
It wasn't a clean end, if you know what I mean, with a show like "Battlestar." But what I realized is every time I embark on a new television series is how we bottled that particular lightning and we were very lucky to do it once and it's sort of unlikely to happen to me again. And that's hard.
You read these TV scripts. And they're very, very good ones that come along, whether I get to play the parts or not you sort of see their life on television cut short more often than not because they don't bottle that lightning that seems to be on the page. It didn't translate maybe to the screen or maybe the audience just doesn't let it translate to them, or maybe the network didn't give it a chance.
There are so many obstacles, so to have achieved it once makes you mindful of how unlikely it is to happen again, which is a slightly nostalgic thought.
But I'm hoping with this one we have it. I have more belief about this one at this stage than I did about "Battlestar." But that was the joy of "Battlestar;" it was a surprise to everyone, I think.

John's second wife Margery McIntyre is my direct ancestor but her background is as obscure as that of his first wife, Ann Fraser. Margery was born about 1785 and died at St Andrews, Quebec, ("Marjory McIntyre, widow of Jn. Fraser") 16 May 1869 at age 84.[1] Her age at death is consistent with her age at their marriage date.[2] She was also recorded as Mary, Margaret or Marion in different sources. Page by page searches of the 1861 census for the parish fail to show where and with whom she was living; the Ancestry database is equally unrewarding. Although the Presbyterian church register gives us her date of death, as with husband John there is no surviving gravestone. The few McIntyre burials in St. Andrews Cemetery are not enlightening.
Perhaps a Catherine McIntyre, age 75 in the 1851 census at St. Andrews and married to John Cameron age 88, is her sister or close relative.[3] That census—the only record where Catherine has been found to date—places her birth year ca.1777. The Cameron couple were in the River Rouge cluster two households away from Margery's stepson James Fraser. Angus Cameron age 34 (born in Canada) is living with them; he is married to Harriett Dochsteter and they have two very young children. Angus appears to be the son of John and Catherine, born in the last years of Catherine's fertility. The incumbent of the Grenville & Chatham Presbyterian Church performed the Cameron-Dochstetter marriage on 25 September 1844 at River Rouge; Ewen Cameron and Peter Taylor were witnesses.[4] Parents of the bride and groom were customarily not recorded by the clergy. The same register contains a whole slew of Cameron marriages—I expect some of them were children of John and Catherine.
|Inverlochy Castle, Fort William; TripAdvisor photo
The Internet provides several avenues for essential background information. Preacher clearly implies that John Cameron had the gift of oratory (no doubt based on intensive bible studies) to spread the gospel. In pioneer times, such a man was a great comfort to the faithful in the absence of an ordained minister. Just in case, I did look at Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae (potted biographies of Scottish clergy) but did not find the volume for Inverness-shire; Argyll presented no likely John Camerons.[7]
While the FamilySearch Wiki places Kilmallie completely in Argyll,[9] other sources say the town is in Kilmallie, Inverness-shire.[10] The former source states basically there are no marriage records from September 1790 to February 1811; kirk sessions records exist only from 1836. The town had name changes over the centuries ... Gordonsburgh, Maryburgh, Duncansburgh, and finally the burgh of Fort William.[11]
|North Argyll parishes from Lochaber and North Argyll Family History Group
The first Statistical Account of Scotland tells me more about the parish and its people.[12] Rev. Mr. Alexander Fraser compiled the Kilmallie report. At this time in the 1790s, the town was referred to as Maryburgh (population 1,200 with 194 at the fort garrison). In brief, the inhabitants (apart from the town) raised cattle and crops of oats, barley, and potatoes; their diet consisted largely of the latter. Their noted prejudice against smallpox inoculation seems indicative of a general Highland distrust of intrusive authority. It was customary for many to migrate seasonally to "the Low Countries" at harvest time for employment. Cameron of Lochiel and the Duke of Gordon were two of the main estate owners.
Here's the bad news (but totally expected) straight from Mr. Fraser:
"For several reasons, it is almost impossible to keep an exact register of baptisms and marriages, in so extensive a parish as this. Unless the clergyman, at the time of these ordinances, write down, in a memorandum book, and transmit them afterward to the session clerk, they will never be registered; for the parties themselves either neglect, or disregard to do it. Besides, it is believed, that the Papists and Episcopalians keep a separate register of their own births and marriages. And, of deaths, no register has ever yet been attempted to be kept in the parish."
I am a long way from connecting any dots to the unproven McIntyre sisters!

Improving the Performance of ISAPI Applications -- Profiling the ISAPI DLLs
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
ISPAI applications are meant to be run on Web Servers and ISAPI developers like me often face ISAPI-related performance issues. Here is a brief discussion on how to profile an ISAPI DLL and determine and solve the performance-related issues.
ISAPI applications are meant to run in a High-load environment and the IIS Server has to respond to several hundred (ideally more than that) requests per second. To improve the performance of the ISAPI applications, first of all it is very important to understand how ISAPI works on IIS.
Understanding ISAPI Execution
The ISAPI DLL is like any other regular DLL. The ISAPI Dll is then registered by calling GetExtensionVersion (which is called only once and contains registration data, such as name and version and so forth). Then the HttpExtensionProc is called. The DLL remains in the process address space until the execution is going on. During IIS Shutdown procedures, all the loaded DLLs are unloaded and all worker threads are stopped and IIS stopped.
Now, because ISAPI runs in the IIS process address space, the chance of corrupting the memory space of IIS is high (although the thing worth noticing is that IIS allows you to debug and test ISAPI DLLs in isolation mode but that will reduce the server performance and will be an overhead).
Most importantly, the multithreading issues have to be taken into consideration. Because ISAPI DLLs are called upon by a number of threads at a time, our code needs to be "thread-safe" (also keep in mind not to lock resources in threads). Avoid global data structures in your DLLs unless they're absolutely needed; otherwise, use critical sections.
Now, to determine the bottlenecks in your ISAPI application, we need to do profiling the ISAPI DLL. By profiling, we mean examining the run-time behavior of the application to determine the performance of the various sections of the application and knowing which sections are taking how much time, thus detecting the application's bottlenecks. Profiling an ISAPI DLL is a very important part of determining and improving the performance of the DLL.
Profiling the ISAPI DLL
The steps to profile your DLL are:
- Build the DLL, enabling the profiling and generation of map files in linker options (see the following figure).
- Run this command at the command line on your ISAPI DLL:
- Rename the original DLL to something else and name this DLL (with an _LL extension as a .DLL).
- Copy this profiled DLL and profile.dll to the Web Server where you want the ISAPI to run.
- Copy the following file from yourDriveLetter:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Visual Studion\VC98\Bin directory to the same place where you copied the DLLs.
The files to be copied and put are Profile.EXE, Profile.DLL, and Profile.INI.<.p>
- Set the __ProfileBPI and __ProfileBPO system environment variables to the path of your PBI and PBO files that will be generated when you run the prep command.
- Stop and restart IIS so that the profiled DLL is loaded.
- Run the application; in other words, send the request to your ISAPI so that ISAPI is executed, and then stop the IIS after execution.
- Run the following commands in the directory where the PBI and PBO files are located.
Prep /m yourISAPI Plist yourISAPI
Prep /om /ft yourISAPI.dllThis command will create a self-profiling DLL with an _LL extension. This self-profiling file would keep the record for function timing, function counting, and function coverage. This would generate a file named yourISAPI._LL.
Note: Do not put in the extension; only the name of the DLL has to be given.
Prep /m will merge the statistics gathered and generate .PBT file; plist will format the .PBT file into a text file. Now, you can have the input of the PBT file to the text file you want.
For example, plist yourISAPi > Profile1.txt on the command line.
Now, you can easily see which section of your code is taking how much time. And, now that you have an analysis of the section based upon time (which is critical for Web applications), you can remove and make rectifications for the bottlenecks.
I hope this will help you all. In case you need any help, please do e-mail me.

On the second anniversary of Egypt's January 25 revolution, Hosni Mubarak's footprints are still present in many areas of the public sphere--and media are no exception. President Mohamed Morsi needs to cease using Mubarak-era tactics of silencing his critics with criminal charges such as defamation.
Egypt's media have seen some progress over the last two years. Even as post-Mubarak governments--whether run by Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) or the Muslim Brotherhood, to which Morsi belongs--continued to exercise control over state media and instigate physical and legal attacks on journalists, independent voices and outlets have managed to blossom. But when they looked for protections under Egypt's new constitution, they found none; the constitution did nothing to curb the criminal prosecution of journalists.
So it was only a matter of time before Morsi launched a series of investigations against his critics, including prominent editors, TV hosts, and journalists, charging several with defamation at the end of last year. This charge is taken straight from Mubarak's textbook. He famously used it to crackdown on journalists who published information about his perceived illness. One of those journalists, Ibrahim Eissa, was sentenced to two months in jail for "publishing false information" in 2008. Last week, the same journalist was summoned by the Egyptian Prosecutor General for investigation for charges of "insulting Islam."
Eissa is a veteran and one of Egypt's most prominent journalists. But he is not alone. Many others journalists are championing the cause of greater press freedom and struggling to keep alive one of the few tangible gains of the Egyptian revolution: breaking the fear barrier. This includes Bassem Youssef, who like Eissa is being dragged to court to answer ridiculous charges like "insulting the president." The New York Times has called Youssef the hero of Egyptian liberals, because he championed criticism of the Islamists, including the Muslim Brotherhood's Morsi. The paper compared him with American comedian Jon Stewart.
But while Jon Stewart enjoys the free media environment of the U.S., Youssef is consciously taking risks in negotiating the red lines that govern Egypt's media. Started from his living room in 2011, his show criticized the institutionalized control of the government over editorial content by showcasing its hypocrisy. At last year's first anniversary of the revolution, he worked with pop team Cairokee to produce their song "Ethbat Makanak" (Stand by your position) to support independent voices in the media who were attacked by the former military government because of their work. His entrepreneurial spirit made him a "runaway success" and his show a top advertising draw, in less than two years, according to Bloomberg BusinessWeek.But Eissa and Youssef need our help to prevail. More pressure needs to be put on Morsi to recognize their right to express themselves without fear. Morsi has voiced commitment to free speech even while justifying criminal charges against these courageous journalists and media outlets. In his own dialogue, initiated with the opposition following passage of the constitutional referendum, defamation was singled out as a top demand for amendment. Indeed, if Morsi is remotely true to his association with Egypt's revolution, to its demands of freedom and of dismantling Mubarak's rule, he should amend criminal code to exclude defamation. Then, and only then, can the revolution be on the right track.

The Silver Lining In A 1-0 Loss
Kudos to Red Sox relief pitcher Joe Nelson for a great scouting report.
A couple of weeks ago when he was still with Pawtucket, Nelson told me that Durham's Jeremy Hellickson was one of the best young pitching prospects he had ever seen.
Hard to argue after watching the 23-year-old Tampa Bay prospect shut down the PawSox on Monday night.
Hellickson took a perfect game into the 7th inning before issuing a walk to Tug Hulett (on a borderline 3-2 pitch). The only hit he allowed was a lead-off single to Aaron Bates in the 8th inning, as Hellickson combined with Winston Abreu on a 1-hit shutout in Durham's 1-0 win.
But here's the good news for Red Sox fans: Kris Johnson was almost as impressive as Hellickson.

Last year, Johnson was a mess as he went 3-16 with a 6.35 ERA between Pawtucket and Portland. There was only one pitcher in minor league baseball that lost more games – Jeremy Horst in the Reds' organization with 17.
This year, Kris is 3-3 with a 4.50 ERA. In his last 3 starts, Johnson is 2-1 with a 1.50 ERA (3 ER in 18 IP).
"He is blossoming into the pitcher that everyone thought that he could be," PawSox pitching coach Rich Sauveur told me. "He struggled last year, but this is what everyone has been expecting."
It's easy to see why the Red Sox chose Johnson with the 40th overall pick in the 2006 draft. The 25-year-old lefty has a 90-94 mph fastball, along with a decent curve and changeup. His only mistake in 6 IP on Monday was a 2-0 delivery in the second inning that Durham's Ryan Shealy hit over the center field fence.
"That was a great game to watch," Sauveur said. "I want our team and our pitchers to win, but it's not just about winning and losing, it's about development and to see this kid go out and give up just one run against a guy who was throwing a perfect game until the 7th inning was awesome. Kris battled his butt off. Yea, he gave up a home run, but he kept putting zeroes up to keep us in the game. He got beat 1-0, but that's 5 out of 6 starts where he has pitched very, very well."
Toss out a bad outing on May 8th where Johnson allowed 5 ER in 4.1 IP at Charlotte, and his ERA in his other 5 starts is 1.93 (6 ER in 28 IP). KJ's confidence appears to be growing with every solid start.
"He's throwing all of his pitches better and in better spots, but that's not the key to him pitching well – confidence is a major factor," Sauveur said. "Last year I think he tried to project confidence, but when things started to go wrong it was like, 'Here we go again.' This year, when he gives up a walk or a base hit, it's like, 'OK, I'm going to get this guy to hit into a double play or I'm going to get this guy out.' He's very positive out on the mound, but he's not cocky and that's what I'm loving about him."
Johnson was not able to beat Jeremy Hellickson on Monday, but the struggles of 2009 are becoming a distant memory.

I've written several stories about Daniel Nava's unlikely rise to brink of the big leagues, but he shared a funny anecdote on Monday that further illustrates how he seemingly came out of nowhere to become one of Boston's best minor league hitters.
(photo courtesy of Kelly O'Connor)
Two years when Nava reported to spring training in Ft. Myers after being signed out of the independent Golden Baseball League, he was selected to suit up for the parent club in one of Boston's exhibition games. After the starters took a few at-bats, the minor leaguers got into the game, and Nava came to the plate in the late innings.
As Daniel stood in the on-deck circle, Terry Francona took one look at him and said, "Who the heck are you?"
That's right – the Red Sox manager didn't even know who Nava was when he sent Daniel to the plate for the first time in a Boston uniform.
"It was all new to me and I didn't even know that I was supposed to introduce myself," Nava said with a laugh.
Nava says he got a hit in that first spring training at-bat. After hitting .348/.443/.552 in his first 257 professional games (including independent ball), it's safe to safe that Francona knows who he is now.
* * * * *
Happy Birthday wishes were in order on Monday for former PawSox Kevin Frandsen and Bartolo Colon.
It does beg this question about Colon: Which is more accurate – his listed age (37) or weight (245)?
Hyder says he'll take the "over" in both cases.
* * * * *
Over the past few days, the stands at Durham Bulls Athletic Park have included Tug Hulett's parents, Aaron Bates' mom, and Josh Reddick's dad.
Kenny Reddick has been the most vocal fan in the entire ballpark – not just for Josh, but for every player on the PawSox.
His enthusiasm brought to mind the story Josh told me last year about his first major league call-up, when he was promoted directly from Double-A Portland to the big leagues.
Reddick said his first phone call was to his dad. Since it was 1:00 in the afternoon, he figured his father would be working, but Kenny was actually at lunch. Josh says his father stood up at a restaurant and proudly yelled, "My son is going to the big leagues."
Josh's next call was to his mom who was shopping at a Walmart. Josh says she fell down in the middle of an aisle and started crying.
I suspect the other customers were probably thinking, "OK lady, so they ran out of a sale item. It happens."

I am a programming major needing help with my programs. My instructor is never on campus and can not be reached in any way, I have tried. Now I am at the end of the quarter with 3 programs due, and no help. I have to write a program called flight that contains a GeorgianCalander objects to represent departure times and arrival times, has strings to represents source city, destination city, and airline. Also it should mplement a Compareable interface where if the filights have the same source and destination cities. And should be llisted alphabetically.Wants us to use the getDate method instead of the GeorgianCalender toString()method. Also must modify another class from my chapter 7 to use an ArrayBag instead of just an array. I have 1 day to get this done oor fail. I have not found anything to help so far online. I sure hope someone here can help me get this done.
Oh and I am a single 42 yr old woman. Who is trying to get through school finally after raising the kids. I have changed my major from programming to paralegal. I just have to get through this quarter. When I went to school before programming wasnt like it is today. And the internet was not so popular, and java did not exsist.

Forecasting ATM cash demands
DBS Bank has 80 percent fewer cash-outs, improves process efficiency by 33 percent
In Singapore, customers of banking giant DBS conduct 25 million transactions a month at more than 1,100 ATMs. They rely on DBS – the island nation's largest bank – for convenient, ready access to funds day or night. To make sure that its ATMs – and its customers – don't come up empty-handed (i.e., a cash-out), DBS uses SAS to forecast withdrawal activity and to optimize the reloading process.
As a result, more than 30,000 hours of customer wait time have been eliminated annually as customers are spared the inconvenience of waiting while empty ATMs are reloaded.
Using this innovative solution, a first in the banking world, DBS is now able to convert valuable ATM usage and customer behavior data into a daily execution plan, allowing optimal reloading at non-peak times.
David Gledhill
Managing Director and Head of Group Technology and Operations
"We serve over 4 million customers in Singapore, and it is important for us to place customers at the heart of the banking experience across all our touch points," says David Gledhill, Managing Director and Head of Group Technology and Operations at DBS Bank.
"DBS' ATMs have one of the highest utilization rates in the world. Any downtime in a single ATM would mean inconvenience for our customers. Hence, we have to continually improve the efficiency of our ATM network and operational process."
DBS analyzes withdrawal data from each ATM to forecast upcoming activity. The forecasts allow the bank to make smarter decisions about reloading its network of machines.
The goal is to stock each ATM with just enough cash to avoid running out – with as few reloading trips as possible.
"There were clearly opportunities to improve the previous reloading process," Gledhill says. "The ATMs would either run out of cash before the scheduled reload or the ATM reloading personnel would drive out to the machines to put in more cash during peak usage period for that specific location, such as during lunch hour in the business district."
Cash-outs down 80 percent
With SAS Analytics and the determination to deliver excellent customer service with greater efficiency, DBS has optimized operations for its entire network of over 1,100 ATMs in Singapore.
The results:
- Cash-outs (i.e., empty ATMs) are down by more than 80 percent.
- More than 30,000 hours of customer wait time have been eliminated.
- The number of trips required to reload the network is down by 20 percent.
- The amount of leftover cash returned to the bank has decreased by more than 40 percent.
- 1,100 ATMs with optimized operations.
- 20 percent reduction in trips to replenish the network.
- 40 percent reduction in cash sent back to the bank.
- 80 percent reduction in cash-outs.
- 4 million customers spared inconvenience.
Innovation arises from challenge
Determined to treat the problem at its root, DBS embarked on a journey to place customers at the heart of the banking experience – and to formulate a long-term solution that brings intelligence into current processes. The aim was to move away from reactive measures and to move into a preemptive model that will lower the occurrence of undesirable situations through forecasting, which will in turn improve the overall customer experience.
The objective was to determine how forecasting and optimization analytics could improve on the efficiency of the bank's network or its customers' experience.
With that in mind, DBS partnered with SAS to develop and implement an innovative solution that seamlessly integrates disparate operating concepts from manufacturing and logistics industries, as well as operations-research techniques such as forecasting, optimization and queuing theory to optimize cash loading in one of the world's busiest ATM networks.
The success of the implementation was dependent on two fundamental aspects. First – and perhaps more important – was getting the forecast right, followed by developing and executing the optimization model.
Nimish Panchmatia, Executive Director and Head of Singapore Consumer Banking Operations, was the lead on this project. "We set out to accurately assess customers' withdrawal patterns across the entire network for each machine," he says. "Using these forecasts, we were able to generate an optimized schedule that achieved minimum cash-outs and trips while being operationally realistic and robust."
A pilot using a limited number of machines built a significant business case among measures including cash-outs, wait times, availability and reloading costs.
An optimized network
With accurate forecasts of withdrawal patterns at each ATM, the bank developed an optimization model that produced a replenishment schedule for the entire network. The optimization engine consumed the forecasting results as input that indicated when cash-outs were likely to occur. However, the model's real strength was its ability to minimize both the number of possible cash-outs and the number of trips required to replenish the network.
At the same time, it reduced the amount of cash returned from each replenished machine.
"This is an incredible milestone in our business analytics journey to help strengthen our business processes, increase operational efficiency and drive service excellence through analytics," says Gledhill.
"Prior to using the SAS solution, we focused our efforts on tackling problems whenever they arose and setting rigid alerts to prevent similar occurrences from happening again. Now, with accurate forecasting and high-performance analytics, we are able to predict when and where a problem may arise in real time," says Gledhill.

As the capital of the United States, Washington DC is chock full of educational and historical attractions displaying the country's rich heritage. If you want to experience Washington DC with the most convenient and comfortable accommodations, renting a holiday home instead of a hotel is the perfect solution. Holiday rentals are like having your very own home away from home, and there is sure to be a Washington DC rental home that suits your style and budget. Whether you are looking for a cozy one bedroom apartment or a large rental condo to fit your entire family, it is easy to find the perfect holiday rental for your Washington DC holiday.
If you are new to Washington DC or would like to experience it in a whole new way, try a Walk of the Town walking tour. These tours are full of vibrant storytelling and will fill you in on the best places to go, as well as the added benefit of being entirely free. The Lincoln Memorial is a must see and also a short walk away from the Korean War Memorial. Anyone who loves books will not be able to get enough of the Library of Congress, with over 115 million items and 7,000 added each work day. The Washington Monument is not only an important historical landmark, but will also take you 555 feet up in the air for a spectacular view of the city. It can be hard to choose only a few things to do and see in Washington DC, but the choice to try a holiday rental instead of a hotel is one you will not regret. In addition to offering you all the benefits of your own holiday home, rentals are ideal for families and can even save you money over staying in a hotel.
Hotels can be expensive, especially when you are traveling with a large group or staying for a while. Washington DC holiday rentals eliminate that problem by allowing you to rent one home that can accommodate your entire group. Rental homes also can offer a discount on extended stays, so you can stay in the city longer and actually save some money. Renting a holiday home in Washington DC is not only a comfortable and personalized option compared to staying in a hotel, but it is also budget conscious. Try a holiday rental and make both your family and your wallet happy on your next trip.

I'll be back a week from Monday. Taking in the Rockies game on Monday and the Giants doubleheader on Tuesday. Can't wait! Go Cubs Go!
I'll be back a week from Monday. Taking in the Rockies game on Monday and the Giants doubleheader on Tuesday. Can't wait! Go Cubs Go!
If you are at Wrigley this weekend, you'll notice the Chicago Cubs have the New York Yankees in town this week.
In my neighborhood, however, it's always as if Yankees fans have me in town.
Walking around New York City displaying my Cubs hat this morning, I came across a guy proudly displaying a disgusting white t-shirt with the Yankees emblem on it. The fact that the Cubs took game one didn't stop him from having a little fun with me and he wanted to know what it was like to be a Cubs fan. I said, "So far this weekend, better than being a Yankees fan". New Yorkers appreciate a quick reply. I had no interest in talking to him any longer than I had to as I walking my dogs and he was some what sketchy. That was the end of our exchange however it won't be the last time (nor was it the first time) that someone asked me what it's like to be a Cubs fan while walking around New York City.
So, you want to know what it's like? I've said it before. I'll say it again.
The Chicago Cubs are the kind of life long commitment that they should sell insurance for. Think about the things that you buy insurance for to protect you from. They are for all of the worst case scenarios in life. House burning down, flood, car accident, death. They should immediately add to the list: Cubs fan.
In all of the above situations you are put out, living a situation that leaves you speechless and wondering, how could this happen to me? Why me? And when you are a Cubs fan, that happens all of the time. Follow by a quick look to the fan to your left or right at Wrigley, in a bar, at home, or at an opposing team's stadium and asking aloud "Why us? Why us AGAIN?"
It would be the most expensive insurance of all insurances sold to baseball fans of course because we as Cubs fans would need it the most. Essentially, all other baseball fans if they too could purchase insurance for rooting for their team, their monthly payments would only exist to cover costs the insurance company would gather in paying out to help out Cubs fans. It is a brutal existence and a little insurance as a fan to add to those occasional and not-so-often insurance runs would be a great thing to have.
This team has long been called the Lovable Losers, however I'm not sure how many fans would consider themselves 'in love' with their Cubs as opposed to simply being 'addicted' to them. Rooting for the Cubs can feel like a bad habit that few are able to break. The highs are so great because they are so rare that you can't wait to experience another and it drives you crazy that jonesing in between the highs.
The team hasn't won a World Series since 1908 and hasn't appeared in one since 1945. The ratio of fans who live to see the Cubs win a World Series to those that spend their life eating peanuts and Cracker Jack and then never getting a chance to even decide whether they want to get back or not…I couldn't even begin to guess. All you can do is put on your Cubs hat and hope that you do get to see them win the big game in your life time and that things like Brock, black cats, goats and Steve Bartmans stop getting in the way. (Moises Alou would never have caught that ball by the way, just saying).
The Cubs have given us stars like Ryne Sandberg, Andre Dawson, Ron Santo, Ernie Banks, Fergie Jenkins, Billy Williams, Mark Grace, and on and on. Addicted or 'in love' with their Cubs, fans come back to root them on at Wrigley Field, visit them on the road, watch WGN, listen to the radio and hope for the best. You can learn a lot about the team in many, many places on the web. Just thought this might give you a better insight as to what it's really like to be a Cubs fan. However, the short answer to the question tell me about the Cubs and what it's like to be a fan? It's awesome. (Calling Geico now to deliver my pitch).
Game two against the Yankees today. Let's get another W before we send Z out there and the Yankees scouts start taking notes on our former ace. (Zambrano, please don't waive your no-trade. We pull this thing to five or six at the All-Star break and we still have a shot). Get that W, Demp. Davis finally broke into the W column for 2011, Demp could do so for the first time in three career starts against the Yankees. Sounds like a plan to me. And who doesn't like seeing a plan come together? Go Cubs Go!

Also, depending on what is going on at production, you may have the chance to sample something from the tanks before it gets into the bottle.
The tour will finish with a private three-course pairing down in the cellars. The picture to the left shows an array of savory snacks, salty munchies and delectable sweets that will be featured**. Items on the menu are listed below.

Hi team,
checking my site today, i'm surprised to see my MegaNav all in bottom of the pages, while it's in header.

Not sure exactly what is causing the issue. For some reason, why you view my site on mobile, the menu does not show up. It will pop up, but it is black. You can check it out here: http://dev.caryfbc.org. I'm also attaching a screenshot where I shrunk my browser down. Any suggestions?

I think I may have installed pagelines pro incorrectly, and then used features incorrectly. I installed first platforms framework theme and then the child, thinking I could do setup for child later. I tried to set up a background image, and tried custom css feature in pagelines dashboard. I had mistakes in my css, and just thought that if I deleted the info in the css custom feature in pagelines dashboard that the new information would overwrite the old info. The background image didn't respond at all, probably because I didn't have the child directory renamed. I then tried to use the LSS plugin to create css and added more css, possibly, somewhere -sigh-. I never did change the background image and get it placed properly. I used a workaround and in nested containers I placed a background image which worked well enough, so I moved on to try to create my nav bar/ menu bar. When I go to the Menus panel, there is NO area where I can place a menu on a page. I have read and reread and re- re- reread the instructions for placing a menu. I've used the pagelines editor to place a menu, however only HOME shows up. I've been at this for many hours. I've since uninstalled all of my pagelines items and reinstalled, thinking that it would restore all my changes to default, but no, it is still all there, with all my unresolved issues. I am completely at a loss as to what to do next.

Choosing a beam angle
What is beam angle?
The beam angle is the angle at which light exits your light fixture. The larger the number, the wider the beam of light that is emitted from the light fixture. Most standard residential and commercial fixtures are a flood-light (60 degree) beam angle. However, spotlight (15 degree) beam angles are very popular for highlighting art work/sculptures, or for areas where you want to direct light at a specific place or object.
