Allen Lessels on Motor Sports: Joyce on career track
The drivers and crews of the K&N Pro Series East worked their cars and went through technical inspections at one end of the infield and those of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Series held sway at the other.
It's been a rough year for Joyce and he'd like nothing better than to turn it around and perhaps come out of Saturday's race with a headstart on setting things up for next year and beyond.
It's not the end-all, be-all for his racing career, Joyce said, and he'll continue trying to build his career no matter.
"That's the way I look at it."
He likes the bottom line.
"My butt's in the seat this week so I'm pretty excited about that," he said.
Still, a good showing here certainly could help.
Saturday is the next stop in a journey that started when Joyce, at age 7, walked into the garage at home and saw the go-kart that his parents, Kevin and Teri, had gotten him for Christmas.
When he was 13, the family moved to North Carolina to let him get even more serious about the sport.
McFarland, who liked the way Joyce stepped in and offered feedback at a testing session last week, ups the ante a bit.
"I really think we can run in the top 10," he said. "I really do. You get on the other side of the garage and there are a lot of stout teams with a lot of money behind them. We've got a good car. We've got a good driver. We've just got to put everything together."
"There's no reason why we can't do that," said Salemi, who has good equipment and a best finish of sixth here.
"We're going to keep with it," he said. "I have an 11-year-old son who's racing go-karts and he's wheeling it. He reminds me every day, 'Dad, don't give up because I need to run your car someday.' He does a very good job. When he's 15, I think he'll be ready."

"Shouting" for a Camel
It was over at Coolgardie that a mining speculator,
Who was going down the township just to make a bit o' chink,
Went off to hire a camel from a camel propagator,
And the Afghan said he'd lend it if he'd stand the beast a drink.

The point Biddulph is making is that the race isn't an attempt by the Xavante males to "prove" their manhood by besting their friends and peers.
"This is a culture that has survived thousands of years by cooperation. They don't have to prove they are men, they celebrate that they are men," writes Biddulph.
The more uncharitable amongst you might say - well, where are the Xavante now? Their lack of competition didn't do too well once they met Western man. However, according to this article, there's still plenty of them around but they seem to be suffering the fate of many indigenous populations.
Biddulph then quotes author Marvin Allen as saying "I defy anyone, anywhere in the world to 'prove' that they're a man."
"It's a ridiculous concept. Women wouldn't entertain the concept of 'proving' they are women," writes Biddulph.
It's a pretty good point, yet blokes - especially when they're younger - are constantly and often tacitly expected to "prove" their masculinity through a plethora of sometimes ridiculous rites and rituals.
Driving fast. Drinking too much. Never backing down. Fighting. Doing dangerous things. Being the strongest, fastest. Sleeping with lots of women. Having more pubes.
And as I mentioned in the post "male anxieties" it doesn't stop once you hit your 20s, 30s and beyond.
Biddulph again quotes Marvin Allen addressing an audience of men asking: "How many of you here are tall, rich, successful, powerful, got an eight inch dong, got hair on your chest, slender, muscular, always in control?"
It's weird, but I now feel "most" like a man when I'm holding my daughter, feeding her, putting her to sleep, washing her little pants, even changing her.
Despite the fact these are 'traditional' female jobs, I get an incredible flush of usefulness, of competency and rightness when I do this stuff.
I feel like a complete man, much more than when I drink heavily, beat someone in pool, or (when I used to) benchpress my own weight at the gym.
It's an interesting question, don't you think: how does one prove he's a man?

Just when I'm trying to wean myself off behavioural finance, along comes this:
Sports Direct International , the country's biggest sports goods retailer, said recent wet weather had hit sales and it expected little earnings growth this year, sending its shares down over 15 percent Shares in the group, which floated at 300 pence in February and netted founder Mike Ashley 929 million pounds, slid to a new low of 158 pence in early trade.
The thing is, this tendency for newly-floated shares to do badly is an old, well-established fact. Jay Ritter's established it in the US, and the same seems true in the UK too (pdf). Recent developments have corroborated the trend. Sports Direct merely follows Debenhams and Qinetiq as recent high-profile floats that are below their float price. Most of the 327 stocks floated in the UK last year have under-performed the All-share so far this year.
This raises the question: why do people consistently make the same mistake, and continually sign up for new floats, despite the fact that new floats, on average, under-perform?
Ignorance of history is no excuse. Basic common sense tells us to beware of new floats. After all, if Mike Ashley thought it was a good idea to sell Sports Direct in February, why would other people, who knew the business much less well than him, think it a good idea to buy?
I suggested some possible reasons for this here. I'd add a couple of others:
1. Regret aversion. If a high-profile stock rises, people would kick themselves for missing out. In anticipation of this, they would buy the stock. And new issues have higher profiles than established stocks.
2. The heuristic of social proof. If other people do something, we follow. So the weight of buying by other investors urges people to buy. This offsets the deterrent sent by the fact that a well-informed person - the owner of the business - is selling.
Whatever the reason, there's an important lesson here that extends well beyond the dull boundaries of finance. People can make systematic errors. And if they do so even when they have real money at stake, how much more likely are they to be mistaken when they don't have so much to lose, such as in politics?

Japan Feature
Top Attractions in Japan
Mt. Fuji
Mt. Fuji, the nation's highest peak, rises 3,776 meters. One of Japan's most famous symbols, the symmetrical Fuji-san inspires artists and commoners alike. The dormant volcano sits between Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectures. During nice weather, it can be viewed from Tokyo and Yokohama. For a closer peek, climb it in summer or see it from the Shinkansen train between Tokyo and Osaka.
Imperial Palace East Gardens
Open to the public, the gardens are all that remain of the former innermost circle of defense for Edo Castle, the residence of the Tokugawa Shogun between 1603 and 1867. The gardens are accessed by three gates: Hirakawa-mon, Ote-mon, and Kitahanebashi-mon. Sculpted, rolling greenery surround stone walls, moats, and guardhouses.
Grand Shrines of Ise
Located in Mie Prefecture, the Ise Jingu Shrine is arguably Japan's most revered shrine complex. Often referred to simply as Jingu, or "The Shrine," it includes more than 100 small Shinto shrines and two main shrines, Naiku and Geku. Naiku, the Inner Shrine, houses the sun goddess Amaterasu omikami. The Outer Shrine, Geku, is home to the deity for industry and agriculture, Toyouke no omikami.
The Temples of Kyoto
The former capital of Japan, Kyoto, is known for its grand, historic structures. Two of the famous Buddhist temples are the Ginkaku-ji (1474), the "Temple of the Silver Pavilion," which features the Kannon Hall and a rock-and-gravel Japanese garden, and Kinkaku-ji (1393), its golden sister that includes a gold-leaf adorned hall. Each is fronted by a spectacular lake.
Osaka's liveliest entertainment area, Dotombori is a single street running along the Dotombori canal in the city's Namba district. It is filled with many small bars and restaurants. Be sure to sample the local specialty: takoyaki (battered octopus). Following large sporting events the street is at its most frenzied, with revelers sometimes diving into the canal.
Peace Memorial Park
Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park, dedicated to those killed following the atomic bomb attack, is the city's most famous tourist attraction. Inside is the Peace Memorial Museum, which provides a history of the bomb. Also in the park is the A-Bomb Dome (the former Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall), whose curved roof stands partly intact and serves as a symbol of peace.
Maehama Beach
This spectacular 7-km stretch of sand is on the island of Niijima, a volcanic island under the jurisdiction of Tokyo. Located 163 km south of the capital (accessible by boat or ferry), the beach offers water recreation opportunities and camping. The beach also provides a view of Mt. Fuji on occasion and is the starting point for the Miyako Triathlon.
Nibutani Ainu Culture Museum
Located in the Nibutani village of Hokkaido, the museum preserves the history and traditions of the Ainu, an ethnic group indigenous to this northern island. The museum has three themes: "Ainu (Human being)," "Kamui (Gods)," and "Moshiri (the blessings of nature)." On display are examples of woven items, carvings, and canoes. Be warned that descriptions are only in Japanese.

Flooding along the Mississippi River is forcing one southeast Iowa city to delay its fireworks show.
The Burlington Hawk Eye reports Fort Madison officials decided to postpone the city's Fourth of July fireworks until Labor Day on Sept 2.
Fort Madison's Riverview Park is where the fireworks are normally shot off from, but the park remains flooded.
Tim Gobble with Fort Madison Partners says the flooding makes it difficult to even access the park, and it's hard to tell how long the river will remain high.
Public Works Director Larry Driscoll says once the river recedes, it takes about a week for water to leave the park.

Crowdfunded 'Carrot' a 'Threat to Publishers?'Bob Burden's 'Flaming Carrot' Kickstarter Project a HitPublished: 09/06/2012, Last Updated: 09/07/2012 04:49am With almost three days left Bob Burden's Kickstarter Project has already earned pledges of more than $27,814 to publish print and digital versions of the Flaming Carrot Comics: The Wild Shall Wild Remain, Collected Vol. 2. The project will fund the publication of the material both digitally and in a 250-page signed and numbered hardcover edition. A new updated offer aimed at retailers allows those who pledge $150 to receive five copies of the signed and numbered 250-page hardcover plus a free copy of Flaming Carrot Collection Vol. 6: Unacceptable Behavior, which collects the five Flaming Carrot Image Comics issues from 2005.
So far Burden's project has more than doubled its initial goal of $12,500. The veteran indie comics creator told USA Today, "I think what Kickstarter brings to the table for creators is definitely and without a doubt a threat to publishers... Most publishers have to pick and choose (comic book projects) and they might miss the next big thing. Kickstarter allows us to develop on our own terms for a very select audience."
Burden described his over-all goals in using Kickstarter in a statement to ICv2. "Here's the long and the short of it," said Burden. "By raising money on Kickstarter, we are able to keep our cover price down, and give a good discount through Diamond."

Highest and lowest obesity rates by state
Category: News Briefs Published on Thursday, 07 March 2013 08:47 Written by huffingtonpost
The obesity rate in the United States is, on a whole, staying steady, according to a new Gallup-Healthways report. The report shows that the obesity rate was 26.2 percent in 2012, which is about the same as the 26.1 percent rate in 2011. State obesity rates have also largely remained unchanged, with only three states experiencing an increase in obesity -- New Jersey, North Carolina and Georgia -- and one state actually experiencing a decrease in obesity -- Delaware. Of all the states, Colorado had the lowest obesity rate at 18.7 percent. Meanwhile, West Virginia had the highest obesity rate at 33.5 percent.

Chapter 3The
ATLaS User Manual
1. Introduction Program Structure Table Dcl SQL Statements UDAs Table Function |
ATLaS supports the standard five aggregates count, sum, avg, min, and max without the DISTINCT option. But the real power of ATLaS follows from its User-Defined Aggregates (UDAs) discussed next. As a first example, we define an aggregate equivalent to the standard avg aggregate in SQL. Standard
Average The first line of this aggregate function declares
a local table, state, to keep the sum and
count of the values processed so far. While, for this particular example,
state contains only one tuple, it is in fact
a table that can be queried and updated using SQL statements and can contain
any number of tuples (see later examples). These SQL statements are grouped
into the three blocks labelled respectively INITIALIZE,
ITERATE, and TERMINATE.
To compute the average, the SQL statement in INITIALIZE
inserts the value taken from the input stream and sets the count
to 1. The ITERATE statement updates the table
by adding the new input value to the sum and 1 to the count. The TERMINATE
statement returns the final result(s) of computation by INSERT
INTO RETURN (to conform to SQL syntax, RETURN
is treated as a virtual table; however, it is not a stored table
and cannot be used in any other role):
The basic initialize-iterate-terminate template used to define the average aggregate of SQL-2, can now be used to defined powerful new aggregates required by new database applications. OnLine
AverageFor instance, there is much current interest in online
aggregates [2].
Since averages converge toward the correct value well before all the tuples
in the set have been visited, we can have an online aggregate that returns
the average-so-far every, say, 200 input tuples. (In this way, the user
or the calling application can stop the computation as soon as convergence
is detected.) Online averages can be expressed in ATLaS as follows:
Therefore, the online average program has been obtained from the traditional average program by removing the statements from TERMINATE and adding a RETURN statement to ITERATE. Our UDA online_avg takes a stream of values as input and returns a stream of values as output (one every 200 tuples). In this example only one tuple is added to output by the the INSER INTO RETURN statement; in general, however, such statement can produce (a stream of) several tuples. Thus ATLaS UDAs operate as general stream transformers. ATLaS uses the same basic framework to define both traditional aggregates and non-blocking aggregates. ATLaS UDAs are non-blocking when their TERMINATE clause is either empty or absent. The typical default semantics for SQL aggregates is that the data is first sorted according to the GROUP-BY attributes; this is a blocking operation. However, ATLaS's default semantics for UDAs is that the data is pipelined through the INITIALIZE and ITERATE clauses where the input stream is transformed into the output stream: the only blocking operations (if any) are those specified in TERMINATE, and only take place at the end of the computation. Calling
User-Defined Aggregates (UDAs) UDAs are called as any other
builtin aggregate. For instance, given a database table employee(Eno,
Name, Sex, Dept, Sal), the following statement computes the average
salary of employees in department 1024 by their gender:
Thus the results of the selection, defined by Dept= 1024, are pipelined to the aggregate in a stream-like fashion. SQLCODE
This a convenient labor-saving device found in most SQL systems, that
comes very handy for the ATLaS programmer who wants to correlate a statement
with the next. SQLCODE is set to a positive value when the last statement
had a null effect, and to zero otherwise. Thus to tell the user that no
employee was found in department 1024, we can modify the previous program
as follows:
In the last statement, the predicates in the WHERE clause controls its conditional execution, in a fashion similar to that of the IF clauses in a procedural programming language. In fact, the ATLaS compiler recognizes, and optimizes execution of, such conditional predicates. |
Points and Values. In the next Example, we have a sequence
of point-value pairs, and we define a minpair aggregate
that returns the point where a minimum occurs along with its value at
the minimum.
Here have used two internal tables: the mvalue table holds, as its only entry, the current min value, while points holds all the points where this value occurs. In the ITERATE statement we have used SQLCODE to 'remember' if the previous statement updated mvalue; this is the situation in which the old value was larger than the new one and the old points must be discarded. Then, the last statement in ITERATE adds the new iPoint to mpoints if the input value is equal to the current min value. In the UDA definition the formal parameters of the UDA function are treated as constants in the SQL statements. Thus, this third INSERT statement adds the constant value of iPoint to the mpoints relation, provided that iValue is the same as the value in mvalue--thus the FROM and WHERE clauses operate here as conditionals. The RETURN statement returns the final list of min pairs as a stream. For instance, say that we have a time series containing
the daily closing prices of certain stocks arranged in temporal sequence
(i.e. the table stock_prices,
below). Then the following program computes the local minima for each
Observe the use of "" to identify the different components in the two-column tuples returned by the aggregate minpair. Since temporal data types are not yet supported in the current ATLaS version, we are using integers to represent dates: thus May, 27, 1999 is represented as 19990527. The next table summarizes the syntax for declaring new aggregates.
Initializing Tables and Combining Blocks. Let us now introduce the following two syntactic variations of convenience supported in ATLaS:
Our Online Averages UDA could also have been written
as follows:
In the previous example, the statement has been omitted: this is equivalent to writing 'TERMINATE: { } '. An empty INITIALIZE statement can also be omitted in a similar fashion. The results produced by online averages depend on the order in which the data is streamed through the UDA. This illustrate a common situation in stream processing: the abstract semantics of the aggregate used is order-independent, but approximations must be used because of efficiency and real-time requirements (e.g., nonblocking computations); often, the approximate UDA is order-dependent. In other situations, no approximation is involved, and the dependence on order follows from the very semantics of the UDA. For instance, this is the case of the rising aggregate described below. Rising.
In addition to temporal extensions of standard aggregates (suggested homework:
write them in ATLaS), TSQL2 [7]
proposes this new aggregate to return the maximal time periods during
which a certain attribute values has been increasing monotonically. We
can apply this aggregate to our stock_prices(Day
Int, Stock char(4), Cprice Real) table to find the periods during
which different stocks have been rising, as follows:
here rising is defined
as follows:
Therefore we have a sequence of time-value ordered by increasing time. We store a zero length period iPoint, iPoint whenever the new iValue is not increasing (also at INITIALIZE). Also a non-zero length period is currently held in rperiod we return it. When the new iValue is larger than the previous stored value, we advance the End of the current period to the current point. |

Joey is a 3 year old racehorse. He had a few runs in his 2 year old season, but then began to have soundness problems. The trainers vet felt he was "suffering from growing pains" and gave him a series of injections of steroids and phenylbutazone into his joints "to get him on the track". His owner didn't think this was in Joeys' best interest and brought him home for a rest and chance to grow on. On his return home the farrier removed his shoes. The right fore was glued on, the left fore nailed on. The next day Joey was very lame on the right fore and the vet was called. An abscess was considered the most likely cause and the foot was poulticed. The abscess burst out a couple of days later, poulticing was continued for a week to drain the pus.
The above photos were taken after his first natural trim. Note the difference in angle of the toe walls. The right fore was a more upright and boxy foot, the left was flatter with collapsed heels. Note in the right photo how he is putting more weight on the left fore and favouring the right fore. He must have had the abscess developing for some time for this uneven weight distribution to have altered the size and shape of his feet. At this stage he was sound in the field, but sore on the stony yard, so a rubber matting pathway was laid between his stable and the field. Within a few weeks he was sound on the stones too.
The photo above was taken 2 months later. Note how the angle of the new growth on the left fore is much closer to the angle of the right fore, indicating that he is now bearing weight equally. Soon after this he went back into training (and back into shoes).

Customer Reviews
October 2013
had a great time did not see any whales but did see dolphins. the trip was very good , we were picked up on time no problems.
September 2013
Paper work needed more details for the meeting arrangements. The van that picked us up had the wrong card on display so we were left checking every vehicle that arrived. We did not really see any whales, a brief glimpse of a minky whale. The boat was good and high speed with warm wet proof suits available. Good value and worth doing but viators need to improve the collection instructions and arrangements with the operators.

A Nation "Under God"? Hardly
A Nation "Under God"? Hardly
Religious Americans and the politicians who cater to them are exposing yet again their intolerance of the minority of Americans who don't share their beliefs.
Those in the religious majority claim to respect minority rights. But that's clearly not so. Their response to the recent federal district court ruling in Sacramento against the inclusion of "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance makes that obvious. It was the same bigoted reaction as they had last year to those who unsuccessfully urged the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold an appeals court ruling that the phrase is in conflict with the constitutionally-promised separation of church and state.
The Supreme Court refused to rule, on grounds that atheist Michael Newdow, who won the lower court ruling on behalf of his elementary school daughter, did not have legal standing to do so because he did not have legal custody of the child.
But Newdow, an attorney, returned to court this year as an advocate for two families who complained that their children are illegally forced to pledge allegiance to "one nation under God." District Judge Lawrence Karlton agreed that the words in the pledge violate the right of school children to be "free from a coercive requirement to affirm God."
The response has been swift -- and predictable. Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina said the district court decision is an example of "where judges do not protect us from having religion imposed upon us but rather declare war on religion."
Randy Thomasson, president of the California-based Campaign for Children and Families, called it "another bad ruling that warps the U.S. Constitution and dashes parents' hopes of patriotism in the next generation." Thomasson characterized as "insanity" the 2002 Appeals Court decision that originally struck down the pledge. For a lower court to strike it down again, he said, was "like a dog returning to its vomit."
The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, based in Washington, D.C., already has announced it will appeal the decision to the Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco and on to the Supreme Court if necessary. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has promised that the Bush administration, which had opposed last year's Appeals Court ruling, also will fight to overturn the latest ruling.
For now, the decision applies only to the three Sacramento County school districts where Newdow's daughter and those of the parents he represents are enrolled, but rulings by a higher court would likely apply nationwide.
Whatever happens, you can be sure our pious political leaders will remain steadfastly on the side of God, as they were in denouncing the 2004 decision. As usual, they are bombarding us with religious propaganda, while allowing those who argue on the basis of religious faith to prevail in debates on abortion, gay rights and other important secular matters. As usual, they are demonstrating that, although elected by mere mortals, they answer to a higher authority, the Constitution be damned.
The most recent surveys show that nearly 42 million Americans are atheists, agnostics or otherwise have no religion. Although many of them have a moral code at least as strong as that of religious Americans, they are generally seen by government officials and others as immoral. They are consistently treated as second-class citizens, their views -- their very existence -- barely even acknowledged.
President Bush has declared, for instance, that "Americans feel our reliance on the Creator who made us ... We received our rights from God" -- and apparently not from the Constitution.
Bush and other political leaders Democrats and Republicans alike had denounced last year¹s decision in a stunning display of political opportunism, posturing and hypocrisy rarely seen since the days of McCarthyism in the 1950s, when politicians were forever denouncing Communists and their supporters, real and imagined. That¹s when ³under God² was inserted into the pledge to differentiate the United States from the ³Godless² Soviet Union.
The religious majority obviously cares not at all that its views are being imposed on others, thanks to the majority's irrational certainty that its views are correct. No proof, only blind faith, is offered as evidence that this is "one nation under God" -- and none is required, because the majority rules.
Ironically, the purpose of the Pledge of Allegiance originally was to help bring Americans together, whatever their political beliefs and whatever their religion -- or lack of it. The pledge promises "liberty and justice for all" - not just for those who provide the most votes.

Clean up begins in Hot Springs after damaging storm | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (KTHV) -- Hot Springs businesses will use the next few weeks to clean up and repair damage to buildings. A storm blew into town Sunday afternoon.
A chandelier remains hanging among the rubble at the Austin Hotel and Convention Center.
"Like a big 18-wheeler truck came through the building," says General Manager Carl Duncan who wasn't here Sunday when severe weather came through that caused a gaping hole.
Duncan had his staff evacuate the hotel. And before crews entered the premises, Duncan called an engineer.
"To make sure the foundation was safe and secure everything," says Duncan.
Regions Bank had glass blown out and just a few blocks away, another scary situation.
Liz Robbins is the executive director of the Garland County Historical Society.
"The first thing I thought about was the water because it's the enemy of historic documents," says Robbins.
Fortunately, the tree came crashing down on an office room and the non-profit's artifacts are safe. Several stories of close calls but luckily police say nobody injured.
The hotel says crews are working very fast and they hope to have guests inside the hotel by this weekend.
Some other places we heard of damage was the Malco theater and a car maintenance shop.

Project Jigsaw delayed until Java 9 | Application Development
Project Jigsaw, which is intended to provide a module system for Java, has been deferred from the Java SE (Standard Edition) 8 release planned for next year until Java SE 9, which is due in 2015, a high-ranking Oracle executive revealed on Tuesday. In announcing the deferment, Mark Reinhold, chief architect of the Java platform group at Oracle, cited insufficient time and technical issues. "The proposed development schedule for Java 8 expects work on major features to be finished by May 2013 in preparation for a final release around September," Reinhold said in a blog post . "Steady progress is being made, but some significant technical challenges remain. There is, more importantly, not enough time left for the broad evaluation, review, and feedback which such a profound change to the platform demands." [ Think you know Java?
IDG News Service - Google's Android operating system does not infringe Oracle's Java patents, a jury in San Francisco found Wednesday, in a setback for Oracle.

Java has long been a hit with enterprise developers, with Java EE powering the back ends of enterprise applications in data centers around the world, while Java application servers and servlet containers enable countless Web applications. For client-side development, however, Java hasn't fared nearly as well. There have always been Java technologies aimed squarely at the client: Java applets debuted with the first release of the platform, and Java ME was an early hit with cellphone vendors. Various toolkits and frameworks have been released over the years for building rich, GUI-based Java applications for the desktop. [ Paul Krill explains Oracle's new plans for JavaFX . | Get software development news and insights from InfoWorld's Developer World newsletter . | And sharpen your Java skills with the JavaWorld Enterprise Java newsletter . ] But as the years rolled on, modern client-side development methods have increasingly left Java behind.

Oracle kicked off the JavaOne conference yesterday by shedding light on upcoming editions of Java and unveiling JavaFX 2.0, a new release of Oracle's platform for building rich client applications. The Java upgrades -- Java 8 and Java 9 -- promise improved support for multicore processing and big data, while JavaFX 2.0 tightens the focus on enterprise Java developers and data-driven business applications. With Java 9, Oracle is developing an ambitious feature set. Capabilities the company is considering include a self-tuning Java Virtual Machine, improved native integration, and increased memory support for "big data" processing.

Today, we have exciting news for developers: the launch of Cloud Foundry : an open source "Platform as a Service" (PaaS) from VMware allowing easy deployment of applications written using Spring, Rails and other modern frameworks. Cloud Foundry breaks new ground in PaaS through supporting a choice of programming models; a choice of services from VMware and third parties; a choice of clouds for deployment; and being delivered in open source. Since the creation of Spring , we've remained faithful to a few core values: notably, Productivity and Portability. Today, these proven values extend beyond Spring and Java into VMware's broader cloud computing strategy . Spring makes developers more productive by reducing time spent away from business logic; Cloud Foundry eliminates time spent installing and configuring infrastructure such as application servers and JVMs.

"Along the banks of the Red River a frail little woman gave birth to a wildcat."
Sidney Gordon Ramsey was born Dec. 9, 1932, just north of Muenster in Cooke County, Texas, to Elisha Gordon and Ruby Hobbs Ramsey, and on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013, he went home to be with his Lord.
He graduated from Gainesville High School in 1950. He attended North Central Texas College before serving in the United States Army during the Korean War from 1953 to 1955, at Fort Carson, Colo. He also attended Arlington State College and graduated with a BBA in 1968, from the University of Texas at Arlington.
Mr. Ramsey worked for LTV from 1955 to 1972, where he was an administrator for the A-7 project. After leaving LTV, in 1972, he started Ramsey Realty and the RAMCO Development.

"We have a lot of faith in him," Green said. "He's coached a couple times in practice and we liked what he did, the methods he did, and some of the styles he did. We just really felt confident."
Green went on to say he believes Johnson will push all the right buttons.
"He's a competitive person, and that's going to bring the best out of all of us," Green said. "He's exciting; he's got a swagger to him that he's going to bring to the team. We're going to be energetic, upbeat and ready to go."
Last week, Weaver and Tom Gabbard (the associate director of athletics for internal affairs) met with the men's basketball team to get a gauge on what it wanted from its new coach. Green, Eddie, and others spoke in favor of Johnson.
"Because we were comfortable with Coach Johnson, it solidified everyone wanting to stay and be a part of the program," Eddie said. "If we can't have Coach Greenberg, we'd like to have Coach Johnson to make it as smooth as possible."
Johnson's first year won't be a cakewalk. The Hokies went 16-17 last season, and just 4-12 in the ACC. He also has the task of holding together the 2012 recruiting class of Montrezl Harrell (Tarboro, N.C.) and Marshall Wood (Rustburg, Va.).
"We feel like they're part of our basketball family now," Johnson said. "We want guys that are excited to be at Virginia Tech."
Putting the Hokies on top will be a process.
"This is going to be a good ride throughout this process," Johnson said. "As things developed with this situation, I thought about my years here at Virginia Tech, and I don't think there was any better person for the job than myself."
The Hokies, who haven't made the NCAA Tournament since the 2006-07 season, have the pieces to make noise in the ACC next season.
"We're competing to be the best," Johnson said. "We're not trying to play second fiddle to anybody. We have everything in place to take this program to the next level."

TOPEKA—March 11, 2010—The Kansas State Board of Education met March 9, 2010, in the boardroom at the Kansas State Department of Education. All Board members were present.
Highlights of the March State Board of Education Meeting TOPEKA—March 11, 2010—The Kansas State Board of Education met March 9, 2010, in the boardroom at the Kansas State Department of Education. All Board members were present.
Dr. Diane DeBacker, Interim Commissioner of Education began the meeting with her March report. DeBacker offered a brief update on the Common Core Standards (CCS) Initiative. In May, Kansas signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices to join the discussion of Common Core Standards in the areas of Math and English Language Arts. The Board voiced concern over the impact of CCS on National and State levels, and discussed at length how much flexibility is available to the state once adopted. A draft copy will be available for public review Wednesday, March 10, 2010.
The Board then heard a presentation from Dr. Julie Ford, Director of Title Programs and Services, regarding graduation requirements as requested by the Board during the February meeting. Ford reported the findings from a district survey, revealing results such as the average credits required for graduation, additional electives offered, and senior year arrangements. It was also recommended at this time not to increase or change graduation requirements. Several Board members expressed their disappointment in the current graduation requirements as well as the Department's recommendation to keep them unchanged.
During the Citizen's Open Forum, Shari Wilson of the Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education (KACEE) announced environmental education awardees and notified the Board of the upcoming 2010 Kansas Green Schools Conference.
Department Attorney Kevin Ireland presented a request from USD 398 Peabody Burns to approve the formation of a hearing panel in regards to their wish to withdraw from the #617 Marion County Special Education Cooperative, to which the Board approved.
Dr. Julie Ford then brought a Petition to Establish a Charter School to the Board for the Word of Life Traditional School for review. The Department did not recommend approval as a charter school at this time, and the Board moved to accept that recommendation.
Next the Board set a public hearing date for Tuesday, June 8, 2010, at 1:30 p.m. regarding the amendment of special education regulations. Immediately following, the board approved the request of the Kansas School for the Deaf-NEA to be recognized as the exclusive representative of the professional employees in the negotiating unit.
The afternoon began with a presentation by Jodi Mackey, Director of Child Nutrition and Wellness, and Roderick Bremby, Secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, on the two largest health concerns—tobacco and childhood obesity—and why these issues need to be addressed more aggressively in the schools. A lively discussion followed regarding the current School Wellness Policy and the recommendation of the Department to achieve the "exemplary" level by July 1, 2015.
Deputy Commissioner Dale Dennis discussed with the Board Governor Parkinson's fiscal year 2010 Budget Balancing Plan and budget recommendations, followed by a brief update on several education bills of interest in legislation. Information from a statewide survey was also presented which outlined areas each district could potentially reduce or eliminate if required, which opened the Board to talk about how these reductions would be implemented.
The next Board meeting will be April 13-14, 2010 in Topeka.

Tom boy; a girl/young woman, who embraces her emotions & feminine side, but also isnt afraid to get down & dirty (never worried about a little bit of dirt&&mud.) A girl who enjoys Ford & Chevy trucks with 4X4 & a lift kit. A girl or young women that can do everything a boy/young man can. Maybe better, maybe worse but always as sexy or sexier. Generally doesnt put up with bullshit & cant stand prissy little girls. A Tom Boy is NOT a lesbian and enjoys her men with gorgeous green eyes, a dirt bike or big truck, a little sweat doesn't hurt, without the cockiness & still a gentleman.
If your a badass im sure you know at least one Tom Boy.

What is Omega 3 Fish Oil?
Omega 3 is one of the two essential fatty acids (EFAs) required by the body from dietary sources. Omega 3 is also known as linolenic acid. It is found in fish oils (mostly long chain fatty acids) and plant sources (short chain fatty acids).
It is required at every stage of life from conception onwards, to enable us to achieve our learning potential and optimise behavioural development. Read more detailed information about Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids in our Library.
Omega 3 Fish Oil Benefits
The Omega 3 nutrients EPA and DHA enhance quality of life and lower the risk of premature death. They have an important role in protecting and optimizing nerve cell functioning.
Conditions such as ADHD, autism, poor coordination, fatigue, dyslexia, and aggression all improve with Omega 3 supplementation, as so a range of affective disorders including depression and bipolar disorder. Cognitive function improves with sharper memory, clearer thinking and mental agility. In early stage Alzheimer's disease Omega 3 can slow down the rate of decline, and supplementation may protect against onset of the condition.
Optimal skin health, blood circulation and heart function, immune response and allergies are other indications for Omega 3 fish oils.
Omega 3 Fish Oil Side Effects and Contraindications
Omega 3 fish oils are safe and non-toxic when taken as directed.
Omega 3 Fish Oil Reviews
"Excellent product. Absolutely no issues with reflux. Like the fact that capsules are a higher dose, so need less capsules p/day."
– Jane about Nutra-Life Omega 3 Fish Oil 1500mg
"I would not be without this product. I feel it has restored my brain to me as well as my hair colour which was fading. I had reduced my daily dose to one capsule because of cost, but Health Post's excellent prices have meant I am now able to take the recommended daily dose. Thank you so much!"

Smash is…well, a smash hit!
Brilliant. That is the one word I can use to describe the newest musical drama Smash on NBC. Simply brilliant.
I took the time last night to watch the first episode of Smash using my "On Demand" feature on the DVR. I had no desire to watch it, even though I should have. The advertisements just weren't luring me in. I, quite frankly, chose to watch it because I was cleaning and needed something on in the background. Once it started, I was slowly & seductively drawn in.
Now, before I go into details, you are probably wondering what this has to do with our theme on BoudoirBomshells.com …right? I'm getting there, trust me.
The Broadway show that Julia (Debra Messing) creates is based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. Once this was brought up, I was very skeptical and thought that the show was just trying to pull in viewers because everything lately has been Marilyn centered. Debra Messing's character kept me watching because of one quote. As her character was arguing with her husband about wanting to be creatively involved in the production of the show, she said "You know what she [Marilyn] said in her last interview? 'Please don't make a joke out of me.' There was something about her…how much she wanted to love and be loved." Yes, that was the moment I stopped kind of paying attention and devoted all my focus to the program.
The songs are genius. The baseball song entitled "The National Pastime" is cute and the choreography is visually stunning. "Never Give All the Heart" is a beautiful ballad about Marilyn Monroe that is sung by the vocally breathtaking Ivy Lynn (played by Megan Hilty). Let's not forget the modern songs though that are thrown into the mix. Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee) belts out a mind-blowing version of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" in the first episode.
I cannot wait for the next episode of Smash to watch these two lovely ladies (Ivy & Karen) compete against each other for the lead role as Marilyn in the new Broadway production. This show is a "home run" and I recommend anyone who is in the least bit infatuated with Marilyn Monroe tune in!

risotto with cognac and foie gras
MAKES: 4 servings
- 4 slices foie gras, about 3 to 4 ounces each
- 2⅓ cups cognac or brandy, divided
- 4 shallots, divided
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1⅓ cups arborio rice
- Salt
- 4 cups beef stock, heated
- 2 stalks celery, finely diced
- 2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- Freshly ground pepper
- Marjoram leaves for garnish
Place the foie gras in a baking dish, pour 2 cups cognac over, and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the risotto: Slice 2 of the shallots, chop the other 2, and set aside. In a deep skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped shallots, and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the rice, and toast, stirring, for 3 more minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons cognac, season with salt, and cook until the cognac evaporates. Add the beef stock in ½-cup increments, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. Cook, stirring, until the rice is tender and creamy, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, carefully press 2 shallot slices onto each piece of foie gras. Add to a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and sauté for 1 minute on each side. Remove from the skillet, and set aside. Add the celery to the skillet, season with salt, and deglaze with 1 tablespoon cognac. Cook for 8 minutes, or until the celery is tender.
Stir the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the risotto, along with the remaining 1 tablespoon cognac. Divide the risotto among individual plates, and top with some of the celery and a slice of foie gras. Finish with a grinding of pepper, and garnish with marjoram.

Diamond drilling and trenching at the Nicanda Hill Prospect of Triton Mineral's Balama North Project in Mozambique has raised the likelihood that it is a continuation of graphitic mineralisation intersected at the Cobra Plains Prospect. This could extend the potential strike to 8 kilometres.
Shares in Kogi Iron could open higher with the company increasing Resources at its Agbaja Iron Ore Project in Nigeria by 20% to 586Mt at 41.3% iron. It has also made its maiden Indicated Resource estimate of 466Mt at 41.4% iron.
U.S. stocks nudged higher on Monday, sending the S&P 500 to a fresh record. Traders were distracted though by plenty of Fed talk, with members speeches supporting the possibility of a December taper. Gold edged higher, oil snapped six-day win streak. The ASX SPI 200 is down two points to 5141.
With release of strong U.S. economic data showing a reinvigorated economy and China holding off the dragons, could ASX resources company valuations be set to rise? Keep in mind that over the next two decades over 250 million Chinese will move into cities – roughly the equivalent of two Japans according to United Nations forecasts.
Funds raised from the non-renounceable entitlement issue will be used for pre-development and development costs for the Shambesai Gold Project in the Kyrgyz Republic including detailed plant design, commencement of site works and project finance costs. Total LOM (C3) after capital and tax estimated to be US$676/ounce.
Shares in the company should trade higher today after the first hole at its Bundaberg Coking Coal Project intersected three separate coal seams totalling 2.4 metres that appear similar to the seams intersected by the International Coal/Hancock Prospecting joint venture in the adjacent permit.
KGL has intersected a new zone of massive and semi-massive sulphide containing visible copper, lead and zinc mineralisation at Jervois. The latest hit is just 90 metres north along strike and 50 metres down dip from KJCD048 - which delivered a copper equivalent of 18 metres at 11.3% copper. Assays for KJCD048 show up to 35.10% lead.
Uranium demand looks set to rise as more countries - including China - flag expansion of their nuclear power generation which is timely as Peninsula's Lance projects look to move to production in the U.S. in late 2014. Key climate change scientists have also weighed in favour of using nuclear power to stall further climate change.
With funds in place to progress its resource definition drilling, modelling and Scoping Study, Triton Minerals will be able to unlock the graphite prospectivity of the Balama North Project, including its potential to host multiple high grade large flake graphite deposits.
The rebalance of the ASX S&P Dow Jones Indices is in for the December quarter, which saw no changes to the blue chip groups as per usual. The biggest changes were in the 200 company indices. Changes will take effect from the close of trade on the 20th December 2013.
Syrah's infill drilling results today have confirmed further very wide zones of high grade graphite and vanadium mineralisation at Balama East, starting near surface. More results are pending, along with assays from Mualia, which will be followed by a resource upgrade.
Metallurgical flowsheets for both the mineral concentrator and the refinery for the company's Kvanefjeld multi-element project in Greenland have been finalised and it is now focused on reducing the risk of the refinery flowsheet with continuous pilot plant testwork.

Since the SDM program has a flexible design, with both on-campus and distance options, costs vary. Program-related costs can be broken down into three categories:
In addition, each SDM student must have a laptop computer. The MIT campus is configured for wireless access. See MIT's hardware guidelines for more information on recommended configurations and MIT pricing (MIT certificate required to purchase).
On-Campus Sessions
Estimates are based on the on-campus time required for the 24-month program.
Housing: MIT has an excellent off-campus housing website.
Note: Estimates are provided for planning purposes only. With the exception of the MIT video bridge, MIT does not provide these services nor does it have control over any of these costs (housing, transportation). Costs can vary widely. In some cases, students may be able to negotiate prices that are lower than the estimates provided. MIT is continually seeking ways to lower program-related costs.

Washington, DC Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey testify before the House Budget Committee on the proposed FY2013 Budget for the Department of Defense.
The $525.4 billion request is about $5 million below the department's enacted budget for 2012 and calls for $486.9 billion in cuts by 2021.
The Committee examined the potential impact of further cuts under the last year's debt ceiling agreement known as the Budget Control Act. Under the act, the department could face additional cuts through sequestration if Congress cannot agree on a new plan for spending cuts or raising taxes. Secretary Panetta has said the Pentagon cannot handle those cuts without endangering national security.
"No budget can be balanced on the back of defense spending alone, even on the back of discretionary spending alone," Panetta said Tuesday in a Senate budget hearing.

How could the Westlake coaching staff make the same mistake twice this year? They lost in overtime to St. Bonaventure when they failed to go for the 2 point conversion after scoring. They left St. Bonaventure room to win which they did when they scored a TD on their turn.
This time Westlake did it again. They should have put themselves ahead by 8 instead of playing it "safe" with the point after. Once again they left the door open and Oaks Christian cashed in. The missed field goal would have not cost them the game, but send it into overtime. Apparently; none of the coaches teach History.

Have you ever been in love with someone who you were wrong for, and when you realized it, you let them go, though it broke your heart? You decided to care more about their welfare, their heart, their future, rather than insist on keeping them?Rauf and Islam needs to do that with their precious mosque. If they want to display the tolerance that Americans are being accused of being short of, then they would behold the pain and anguish their location, and subsequent inflammatory defense of it, and they would readily put down their stubborn will and make other arrangements.Because if he is allowed to put that monument to his eqo and Islamic triumphalism right next to the 3000 graves, then the message is loud and clear: terrorism works.

My Profile
MC Conrad
Thanks to his partnership with LTJ Bukem, MC Conrad has become one of the leading voices of the British drum'n'bass movement. His freestyle rhymes bring a sense of humanity and excitement to Bukem's Good Looking Records camp's many live performances and to their popular Progression Sessions series of albums. This polished and proven partnership between Good Looking's stable of DJs -- Bukem, Blame, Tayla, Rantoul, as well as others -- and Conrad sets the collective apart from the countless other DJs and MCs still struggling to mix rapping with drum'n'bass mixing. The British MC developed an ear for music at an early age, listening to his family's record collection before eventually being turned on by the early '80s electro scene. From electro, it was only a logical progression that he would soon immerse himself in the flourishing rap scene that was still developing in the mid- to late '80s. Of course, despite Conrad's interest in rapping and his experiences rapping for local hip-hop groups, British hip-hop simply never happened. After growing jaded with the struggling hip-hop scene in Britain, he began investigating the country's burgeoning rave scene in the early '90s, eventually hooking up with the ambitious man known as Bukem. As Bukem's career as a precise DJ, a visionary club host, an innovative producer, and as the man behind Good Looking Records began to flourish, Conrad soon found himself an important member of the Good Looking camp, often the guiding voice at the live performances. Soon expanding beyond live performance and into the recording studio, Conrad began working on a project known as Words 2 B Heard, which aims to bring together vocalists, musicians, and producers in hopes of taking live vocal music to the next level of innovation. Conrad was featured on the first installment of Good Looking Records' Vocalist series, released in 2001. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

eric.sandhur s t
Game Changer, I look forward to that innovation trifecta
Yeah this got LTJ all over it.My first Drum & Bass album was Logical Progression and to this day my favorite D&B album.This is Drum & Bass done proper.Seems the soul of Drum & Bass has separated from most.
cathygrim200 3
haha @ Christina... YES, all the good stuff IS from 2001!!
No wonder I like this song and album. It's from 2001! Seems like all the good stuff is from then.....
LTJ Bukem, mate you are a special artist..! Your music has set many of thoughts, feelings, emotions into order..Big, big, thanks!
The progression sessions are a timeless gem regardless of medium the sounds from the soul reachin thru. Check out Thirst Quenchers in philly, live drum n bass
These are old tracks but nonetheless. . . I agree with mmullis7 - no one can match Conrad. I've heard many jungle MCs and they usually send me running for the backdoor because I can't stand to listen to them murder good tracks with their wack-a** rhymes; AK1200 has a terrible MC, MC Navigator, that is horrible - which is too bad because AK1200 has some serious beats.
The best!
this is the baddest for sure
