David Ferrer Ern (born April 2, 1982 in Xàbia, Alicante, Spain) is a Spanish professional tennis player who lives in Valencia, Spain who is currently #5 in the ATP Rankings and the second-highest ranked Spaniard behind World No. 2 Rafael Nadal. He turned professional in 2000. Ferrer is known as a clay court specialist, although he has had success on hard courts as well, as evidenced by his semi-final appearances at the 2007 US Open and 2011 Australian Open. He was part of the Spain Davis Cup team that won the finals in 2008 and 2009. He was also runner-up at the Tennis Masters Cup in 2007. He first achieved a top–10 ranking in 2006 and reached a career high ranking of No. 4.
Ferrer was born in Alicante, but he moved to Gandia at age 13, followed two years later by a move to Barcelona to attend the Catalan Tennis Federation. He spent nine months at Equelite, Juan Carlos Ferrero's Academy in Villena before moving back to Xàbia while practicing in Denia.
Ferrer has said that when he was young, if he did not practice hard enough, his coach, Javier Piles, would lock him up in a completely dark ball closet, which was 2m x 2m in dimensions, for several hours, sometimes giving him only a piece of bread and a bit of water for his stay in the closet. Ferrer has said that he did spend time quite often in that closet. At the age of 17, he felt he was fed up with tennis and sitting in the closet, and went to work at a construction site, but after a week there he returned to the club asking the coach if he could still remain at the club and play tennis. As of 2011, he is still coached by Piles.

Outdoor living spaces have become the poster project of staycations. A staycation is a period of time that an individual or family takes time off and relaxes at home.
Outdoor living spaces can be defined by any or all of an outdoor kitchen, patio, deck, portico covered area, screen or sun room, in-ground pool, spa tub, backyard sports or activities, and as much more as you can imagine.
This covered patio, in Monmouth County, New Jersey, designed and developed by the Design Build Pros and expertly constructed by Mark of Excellence Design Build Remodel typifies an outdoor living remodeling project. The newer built home had no overhang or tree shading from the direct sun in the due-south facing backyard. This is a plus for the in-ground pool, but made it uncomfortable to sit and lounge on hot summer days. (more…)

Marchionne says he expects a Chrysler IPO later this year
Michigan Radio's Steve Carmody just attended a press conference with Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne.
Marchionne told reporters that his goal is to pay back the government loans by the end of this year.
Chrysler owes around $7.5 billion to the U.S. government.
He said he was heartened by the response to GM's IPO last year and the investor interest in the auto industry makes a Chrysler IPO more likely.
The Wall Street Journal reports today that Fiat has raised its ownership stake in Chrysler from 20% to 25%.
The increased ownership complies with an agreement between the Italian and U.S. auto makers and the U.S. Treasury that triggered a greater stake once commercial production of a fully-integrated robotized engine began at Chrysler's Dundee, Michigan plant, Fiat said in a statement.

SMF Support > Server Performance and Configuration
Opinions needed: Moving from vBulletin to SMF
My friend is currently using vBulletin for his board, and the problem comes from the fact that due to the high publicity of his website [d12world.com, "D12" is Eminem's group], the vBulletin software wreaks havoc on the server. My tech admin has used every trick in the book to alleviate the situation by customizing the kernel, MySQL and apache, the server still gets overloaded.
Here are the stats from the board:
D12 World Message Board Statistics
Threads: 72,969, Posts: 1,059,518, Members: 23,400
The server specs are:
Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz (HT, but not enabled)
1 GB of DDR 333 RAM
OS: FreeBSD 4.10-BETA
Apache 1.3.29*
MySQL 4.1.1*
Here are what the load is like during peak hours:
last pid: 44019; load averages: 4.22, 11.59, 12.02 up 5+20:40:11 12:52:53
242 processes: 2 running, 237 sleeping, 3 zombie
CPU states: 45.5% user, 13.1% nice, 29.1% system, 1.5% interrupt, 10.9% idle
Mem: 726M Active, 55M Inact, 169M Wired, 33M Cache, 110M Buf, 2376K Free
Swap: 1999M Total, 242M Used, 1756M Free, 12% Inuse, 2160K In
I have a few questions:
1) Which should I use? YabbSE or SMF? I rather use something that's still being supported, so that would be SMF...
2) One basic rule is never use beta software on a public server, but seemingly there's no difference as vBulletin has proven to be very unreliable on high-usage sites (unless you're a guru and know how to customize everything). Is it a bad idea to use SMF 1.0 Beta 5 on such a high-usage server?
3) If I do use SMF, is there any recommended changes to the server (like apache, php, or MySQL) that should be done in such a case?
Thanks for your time,
* Edited in for clarification
Sounds like a decent server setup indeed... just as a question, do you know if you've tried Apache 2 prefork? My understanding is that Apache 2 is supposed to preform better, but I've never actually done any benchmarks.
SMF would perform, let's say... several factors of 10 better.
Well, I'm not sure. There are going to be bugs in beta software, but sometimes... they are just typos. For example, one that I just fixed was that in the profile it says "show other user's avatars" where it should say "show other users' avatars". Maybe not a huge thing, but part of why it is beta still.
Another reason it's beta is because it's not done functionality-wise. For example, there's no way to enable quick reply for *everyone* in Beta 5 Public. This functionality is planned for later.
One thing I would think is probably killing your server is the email notifications. I have seen vBulletin forums go bottom up due to having to send too many notifications on topics. However, this is something I haven't reliably resolved for SMF - I plan to set it up so you can have emails sent in a time-delayed manner, but I'm still working out some logistical problems with that.
I would recommend, if possible, you try a conversion just to "test the water". While I have been meaning to get my hands on a testing server and a database that size... quite frankly, I just haven't yet. I can't tell you how well SMF will perform with that many posts, nor can I even promise the vBulletin converter will convert *everything* perfectly.
But again, even if you don't know if you want to move yet - which may or may not be a good idea at this time - testing a conversion would at least be a good way to see what problems could arise, so we have time to fix them before SMF goes gold.
Incidently, how do you have query caching set in MySQL? And, do you know if you're using a persistant connection or not?
First, thanks for the detailed and honest reply, I appreciated that.
I didn't know there was a convertor for those who run vBulletin, can you point me on where it is and how to do it? I can have my tech admin try it out.
Secondly, I don't know a heck of a lot about *nix, but I do know that 'persistent connections' is disabled, and I'll ask about the query checking.
*If* the webmasters agree to try out SMF (assuming the convertor works), I'll let you know so maybe you can monitor the board under high load situation. I'm also willing to grant you access to the server & board if that's what it takes. My paramount concern is to stabilize the server as soon as humanly possible.
I expect the board only to get busier because D12's CD, "D12world" (same as the site name) was just released today.
Let me know what you think ...
The convertor is located in the Convertors and Tools section of the downloads page.
I do want to clarify something, when I said SMF would perform many factors better I was referencing YaBB SE vs. SMF. I have not recently benched SMF against vBulletin and did not mean to make any assertions either way because I don't have any information there.
Persistant connections can be a double edged sword, but if you're the only one on your server (I would assume so!) and your server is both the web and MySQL server - it might cut the overhead down noticably.
Another note - it might be possible, with some modification (to vBulletin, SMF, YaBB SE, whatever you use...) to make use of MySQL's replication. What this basically means is you have several MySQL servers and they all have the same data on them. You load balance the queries between the "slave" servers and send all "write" queries to the "master" server. This can significantly speed things up, as long as all the servers are in a close-nit network.
However, it is expensive. I'm just trying to propose solutions to speed/load problems for you.

All full-time freshmen are required to reside in University housing. Algonquin Hall is a suite-style building available to both upperclassmen and freshmen. Glades Park Towers is the newest residence hall, specifically designated for students who will be taking college courses for the very first time. It's a suite-style residence hall consisting of both double and single rooms. The University Village Apartments accommodate more than 500 upper-division undergraduate and graduate students. In general, first-year college students are not eligible to reside in the apartment community. The apartments offer both studio efficiency and four-bedroom apartments. Indian River Towers is a suite-style residence hall featuring both double and single rooms, and is open to both upperclassmen and freshmen. Located adjacent to the barbeque pits and sand volleyball court, IRT offers unique amenities such as a two-story lofted lobby area and a furnished sun deck. Heritage Park Towers is a suite-style residence hall for both freshmen and upperclassmen. All dorms have unlimited Ethernet Internet, cable TV hookups, laundry facilities, computer labs, study lounges, and multi-purpose rooms with large-screen TVs. Heritage Park Towers, Indian River Towers, and the University Village Apartments also offer a community kitchen.
The dorms at Florida Atlantic University are, by far, some of the nicest and most spacious around. All are very new in comparison to other universities and are in equal vicinity to key points of the University. Indian River Towers, although the oldest of the dorms, is the best pick because the rooms are larger and each suite includes its own furnished living room. Even the student apartments are a great option for upperclassmen because not only do they include their own kitchen, but they are also still within walking distance from campus.

Hi, I´ve got a macbook pro,Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)! I have tried to install adobe photoshop cs5 and cs6 trial, althought both of them doesn´t allow to make photomerge with the pictures catch of the computer screen (it doesn´t mather if it is in PNG or JPEG). Althouhg this feature works perfectly if I attempt with other pictures (not catch with this computer).
This versions of photoshop works perfectly in a waio pc of mine.
Besides, I´ve tried in a mac with the previous software of a friend of mine, and there´s no incompatibility with Photomerge and screenshots.
I have also take my mac to see if there was a hardware problem, but is in perfect condition. So I would like to ask if any incompatibility has been detected at this level, and what do you suggest me to do, since I need to buy this product for my work.
Photomerge expects some overlap between adjacent exposures. Assuming by your comments that you're capturing what's on each of your screens separately then hoping to put it together into a single image, there is no overlap.
Is that indeed what you're trying to do? Capture your desktop as it crosses multiple monitors and create a single unified image of the entire desktop?
Hi Noel!
Thanks for your answer. I know what photomerge is about, and that it might have something in common in the images loaded, otherwise it won´t be able to join them. The images I used where screenshots from the bing maps (cmd+alt+4), but I´ve always been careful to make points in common. The problem is actually some kind of incompatibility between the screenshots catch with this mac and the photomerge. It can be caused by this new operating system, because the previous one does not have this problem.

Thanks for your answer, I´m sending you the images that were screenshot in this mac.
The photomerge can read them in the begining, and when it is almost finished it even shows the final image resulting from the union of the parties. But then it just disappears without any briefing note and does not save it anywhere in the computer!
thanks for your concern!
Hi Teressa,
Those images merge fine on my machine. So the Untitled_Panorama file is not present, but Ps is still running? Or does the file just display the checkerboard?
Have you tried this with the GPU enabled drawing deselected (Preferences> Performance)? I'm using a desktop Mac Pro so there's a difference in the video cards between our machines.
Hi Teressa, Steve, et al,
Teressa - did you ever get this issue resolved?
The reason that I ask is that I'm experiencing the same, frustrating issue. I've created dozens of panoramic images on my Mac Pro in the US, but I'm now on an assignment in New Zealand for a year and brought a new MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display and the same issues are happening for me. No matter what I've tried - starting with LR, exporting various files from LR and then opening in PS5, etc., the result is always the same - Photomerge chugs along and appears to be creating the "Untitled_Panorama" and then it briefly appears on the screen and is gone. My original files are present and PS5 is running, but there's no panorama anywhere?
Help me Obi Wan Kanobi, you're my only hope!
I fixed it!!!
I found the "fix" in an old post - finally.
Go into your preferences panel, select "Units & Rulers," and if you have ruler units set to %, try something different - I reset mine to centimeters. Restart photoshop.
I hope that this works for whoever else is searching for a fix!
Hi Noel,
I just purchased this MacBook Pro about a month ago and made a fresh install of PhotoShop CS5.5 on it. I've used Photomerge hundreds of times on my Mac Pro and don't recall any problems with it there. I'm guessing that the default rulers setting must be percent. I couldn't get Photomerge to work 'til today when I changed the ruler setting to centimeters. I don't know what the issue is, but I'm glad that's resolved. I've already generated three new panoramas, and fourth one is brewing right now...
Hi Tim!
That´s a precious information, thanks!
Well, I did not resolve all my problem actually,I just found a new program to help me with this! I start ussing " Snagit" which help me capturing the images I want (they are no more captured by the computer), and then the photomerge start working normally.
I think this only happens with the new macs, and with the new operating system, mine also has two months!
I'll try your tip!

The University of Newcastle's Council met on Friday 27 November 2009 at the Callaghan campus. This communiqué provides information about key matters considered by the Council.
Development of the City Campus
The Council was updated on the development of the city campus and noted positive support from the Minister for the Hunter, The Hon Jodi McKay MP. The Council will discuss further progress and planning at its February strategic meeting.
Strategic Presentation: Research
Professor Mike Calford, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research), gave a presentation to the Council on research issues. The strategic presentation provided an overview of the University's research performance against the sector as well as key strategies being employed to continue to improve research outcomes. The success of the Priority Research Centres was highlighted as were significant research partnerships and changes in the Federal Government's agenda for research. The Council noted the positive impact of the introduction of international student fee waivers, implementation of incentives to encourage potential Honours and Research Higher Degree students and progress of the Ease of Research Project (EORP). Future emphasis on commercialisation, business liaison and development of collaborative industry and government partnerships was supported.
Vice-Chancellor's Presentation on 2009 Performance and Achievements
The Vice-Chancellor tabled a comprehensive report on the University's performance against the strategic plan in 2009 and highlighted progress in rolling out the risk management framework across the University and the definition of performance indicators for community engagement based on national benchmarking. It was reported that strategies to increase student satisfaction continue to be a major priority for the University and further work on campus master planning for the Callaghan campus will be undertaken in the context of the city campus development.
The Vice-Chancellor also gave a presentation that recognised the significant achievements of staff and students in 2009 as well as institutional celebrations such as the 20th anniversary of the Ourimbah campus and the opening of the University's facilities in Sydney.
The Council congratulated all staff and students on another excellent year at the University.
2010 Budget and Capital Expenditure Budget
The Council reviewed and approved the University's 2010 Budget and Capital Expenditure Budget noting that the Budget projects an operating surplus and that the University continues to face challenges associated with inadequate indexation, the Federal Government's growth agenda and pressures on capital investment and infrastructure. It was noted that a very significant program of work and capital expenditure have been approved for 2010 and beyond, a large proportion of which will be externally funded through Federal Government grants.
Hunter Uni-clinics Pty Ltd
The Council received the final report from Hunter Uni-clinics Pty Ltd, noting that the process for transfer of ownership to Community Healthcare Trustees Pty Ltd is nearly complete and the new organisation will be well-placed to further develop the range of essential community services delivered in Cessnock and the wider region.
Emeritus Professor
The Council approved the conferral of the title Emeritus Professor on Professor Phil Foreman in recognition of his outstanding contribution and service to the University of Newcastle and the teaching profession.
Appointments to the Council
The Council welcomed confirmation of the following appointments:
- Continuing appointments for Ms Crystal Condous OAM and Ms Deborah Wright for a three year term of office as Ministerial appointees;
- new appointment of Mr Geoff Lilliss for a two year term of office as a Ministerial appointee;
- Ms Matilda Hunt for a one year term of office as the undergraduate student elected member; and
- Mr Benjamin Dean for a one year term of office as the postgraduate student elected member.
The Council also warmly thanked Mr Robert Williams, the outgoing undergraduate student member, for his commitment and conscientiousness as a Council member over the past year.
Establishment of New Programs
As recommended by Academic Senate, the Council approved the establishment of a range of new programs for introduction in 2010 including:
- Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science (Honours)
- Master of Information Technology (Professional) and Master of Information Technology (Advanced)
The Council noted the recent approval for the establishment of the Diploma in Languages and also approved the disestablishment of a number of programs with zero enrolments.
To follow up on a particular issue, please contact Mr David Donnelly, Deputy Academic Registrar - Governance and Academic Administration.

"Keep it easy with great knits and the perfect jacket to pull it all together. For me it's all about the leather jacket, the Sullivan from my collection is my favorite, I wear it all the time. If you can, buy it in every color and pair with denim shorts and sandals or wide leg jeans and wedges for an easy chic look."

Missile Command record broken after 31 years
This weekend, Swedish gamer Victor Sandberg set out to take the Missile Command record, set in 1982 by Victor Ali with a score of 80.5 million. The determined arcade fan livestreamed his attempt, which lasted over 56 hours, and eventually took the crown by bowing out with 81,796,035 points. You can watch a recording the stream, or just check out this clip of the record being surpassed, and Sandberg's eventual game over. The original Missile Command was released in 1980 via Atari and Sega.
Thanks, Kotaku.

SPRING TROUT RELEASES PROVIDE FISHING OPPORTUNITIES AROUND THE STATE Releases start March 6 and continue through mid-May
COLUMBUS, OH - Public fishing opportunities will be enhanced this spring when more than 80,000 rainbow trout, each measuring 10 to 13-inches long, are released into 45 Ohio lakes and ponds, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. The releases will take place between mid March and mid-May; anglers are reminded that the daily catch limit for inland lakes is five trout.
Some locations will feature special, youth-only angler events on the day of the scheduled releases. Anglers age 16 and older must have an Ohio fishing license to fish the state's public waters. The 2008-2009 fishing license can be purchased now and is required on March 1. An annual resident fishing license costs $19 and is valid through February 28, 2009. A one-day fishing license is available and may be purchased for $11 by residents or non-residents. The one-day license may also be redeemed for credit toward purchase of an annual fishing license.
Ohio residents born on or before December 31, 1937 may obtain a free fishing license where licenses are sold. Persons age 66 and older who were born on or after January 1, 1938, and have resided in Ohio for the past six months, are eligible to purchase the reduced cost resident senior license for $10.
Additional information about spring trout releases is available by calling toll-free 1-800-WILDLIFE. Information is also available from Division of Wildlife district offices in Akron, Athens, Columbus, Findlay and Xenia.

Luke 19:1-27 One of my favorite songs I sing to children is "Zacchaeus." It goes like this: "Zacchaeus was a wee little man, a wee little man was he. He climbed up in the sycamore tree, the Lord he wanted to see. And when the Lord came passing by He looked up in the tree and said, 'Zacchaeus, you come down. For I'm going to your house today. I'm going to your house today.'" This passage tells us that Zacchaeus made haste and came down from the tree and received Jesus joyfully. Jesus was on His way to have lunch with Zacchaeus, and those around began to complain because He was going to the home of a sinner. Jesus says, "This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost" (vv. 9-10, KJV). read more

With the DMA announcing their new one million dollar PR campaign "Data-Driven Marketing Institute," the question of privacy and rules around customer data has become a greater focus of some of the panels this morning. Jordon Cohen of Moveable Ink, brought up the headline "Target knows a teenage girl is pregnant before her own father does" and posed the question: have we finally gone too far?
For those of you who didn't read this headline in February, an irate father charged into a Target store demanding they stop targeting his teenage daughter with emails full of baby products because she wasn't pregnant. It turns out Target was right, and the father was wrong. She was pregnant and her shift in product purchase at Target made the marketers behind the brand know of her news before any of the world may have known.
Jason Scoggins of Freshpair stressed that targeting has to go through a "creep" filter and in the case of the Target example, they went too far.

For large organizations like the BBC, ignoring the recently-enacted EU cookie law probably isn't a viable option. Despite the headaches associated with implementing a solution, the threat of legal actions and fines probably outweighs the costs of compliance.
It's a different story for entrepreneurs and owners of small businesses, some of whom indicated a willingness to flout the law until given a reason to reconsider.
by Patricio Robles 28 June 2012 20:22pm 8 comments
If ibuprofen sales are up in the EU this year, it might have something to do with the nightmare known as the EU cookie law.
For major companies operating in affected countries, the solution to the problem has been, well, to find a solution to the problem. And for good reason: with the possibility of enforcement action, few businesses can afford not to address the law.
But apparently the EU itself can't be bothered with complying with its own rules.

The ICO's one year amnesty on enforcement of the EU e-Privacy Directive ends tomorrow, and a few more sites have been rolling out their compliance solutions.
BBC.co.uk launched its cookie info banner yesterday, while Channel 4, The Guardian and the Telegraph have today.
The four approaches are all very different...
by Graham Charlton 25 May 2012 09:36am 23 comments
There has been a huge amount of interest within the Econsultancy community around the EU e-Privacy Directive, sometimes rather misleadingly referred to as the 'EU Cookie Law' (as it doesn't just apply to cookies). This is not surprising as the deadline for compliance with the directive in the UK is May 26th so less than two months away.
People have been asking "So what is Econsultancy going to do on its site?", and "What do you think is best practice?", and "Will Econsultancy.com be compliant?". Today we have set live our 'solution'.
(UPDATE, 18 April 2012: Our new report, The EU Cookie Law: A Guide to Compliance, explains the legislation as far as it affects UK online businesses, sets out some practical steps that you can take towards compliance, and includes examples of how websites can gain users' consent for setting cookies. Do check it out.)
by Ashley Friedlein 28 March 2012 14:44pm 41 comments
With just over a month until the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) (Amendment) Regulations 2011 is enforced, it was high time that an organisation with the weight to set a precedent got off the fence and took a serious position on the matter.
Who better than the UK's Government Digital Service?
I'm not sure I expected the UK government to be the one to lead the charge on cookie law compliance, and I'm certain I didn't expect them to be the ones to argue that web analytics are "essential", but that's exactly what they've done with their snappily titled Implementer Guide to Privacy & Electronic Communications Regulations (PECRs) for public sector websites.
So does it stand up to scrutiny? And more pressingly, does it get the rest of us out of a potentially difficult situation?
by Glynn Davies 26 March 2012 11:50am 63 comments
Meriel Lenfestey is Director at Foolproof, and is currently working with financial clients on compliance with the EU cookie laws.
The EU cookie laws, and the potential effect they can have on online businesses, represents a major challenge. So how can they comply without harming the user experience and damaging their revenues?
I've been asking Meriel about what websites should be doing to prepare for the implementation of the cookie law, and how this will affect the user experience.

Antitrust regulators in Europe have Google in their sights. In November 2010, the European Commission opened an informal investigation into the search giant to determine if it is abusing its position in the market.
The investigation covers everything from the company's treatment of competitors' search results to its new social network Google+. Normally, antitrust investigations like this take years to complete, but it appears that the EU may be moving much more quickly than normal.

The goal of the paper is to expand electronic payments to help European businesses grow, and consumers to shop easily and safely online, instore and via their mobile devices.

I've been on record a number of times saying that I think the EC Directives relating to cookies are fundamentally flawed. We could make a parallel with the current UK/EU Euro 'situation' but let's not go there. In the UK the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has a duty to enforce these directives and, as they say, "This isn't going away. It's the law."
Yesterday the ICO released its updated guidance for UK website owners. You can download the PDF from the link in the news release.
Given the tough task of interpretation, guidance and enforcement that is the ICO's duty, I have to say that I think this document is a valiant and comprehensive effort given the task and I'd commend them for this. I would urge you to read it for the full details. It is clearly written and quite practical.
Below are some of my initial thoughts on reading this latest guidance.

A fracas? Congressional debate gets ugly
Though it didn't come to fisticuffs, so heated was the exchange between the two debating candidates for a San Fernando, California congressional seat Thursday night that a police officer got up on stage to separate the two.
During the debate Thursday at Pierce College in Woodland Hills, two incumbent Democratic congressmen -Rep. Brad Sherman and Rep. Howard Berman- got into a verbal disagreement over the correct author of the immigration legislation known as the DREAM Act.
"Luis Gutierrez introduced the bill, you didn't," Sherman shouted at his opponent, claiming that Berman was trying to take credit for the immigration bill.
At one point as the back and forth escalated, Sherman yelled "You want to get into this?" at his opponent. He then stepped next to Berman and forcefully put his arm around him.
The crowd cheered and jeered. And a police officer stepped onto the stage gesturing for the two to separate while the debate moderator tried to calm the conversation. The law enforcement officer kept his smile while the two kept jawing and pointing at each other.
After the heated exchange, the debate continued without incident.
Video of the altercation was posted on The Los Angeles Times website.
Rep. Gutierrez, D- Illinois came to his colleague's defense in a statement released Friday.
In a statement, Gutierrez explained that he introduced a version of the DREAM Act "many years ago," but the current version introduced in 2010 is Berman's.
"I was the first to introduce a bill that legalized undocumented students many years ago, but the DREAM Act that passed the House and the DREAM Act that the House has considered for more than a decade is Berman and [Sen. Dick] Durbin's bill," Gutierrez said in the statement.
The current legislation would grant citizenship to children who come to the United States illegally if they join the military or enroll in college.
"When I am in Los Angeles next week campaigning for Howard Berman's reelection, I will tell everyone that I support Howard Berman because of his authorship of the DREAM Act and the crucial, leadership role Howard Berman has played in every major piece of immigration legislation under consideration in the House. Howard is our champion," Gutierrez said.
Both Sherman and Guiterrez, along with 114 other members cosponsored the legislation that is currently stuck in committee.
Both campaigns put out competing accounts of the incident.
The Berman campaign released a statement asking, "Has Brad Sherman lost his mind?"
"At a debate in front of local college students Congressman Brad Sherman loses his mind and acts like a bully," Brandon Hall, senior adviser to the Berman campaign said in a statement. "This speaks directly to his temperament that is totally unsuitable for anyone, especially for a member of Congress."
The Sherman campaign shot back saying the Berman campaign exaggerated and mischaracterized the sequence of events during the incident. Sherman's campaign said the incident did not escalate when the Congressman put his arm around Berman, but rather after Berman said, referring to Sherman, "He's either delusional or a liar."
The Sherman campaign called the remarks "so abusive the moderator took issue with them."
The Berman campaign pointedly noted in their statement that Sherman was once voted Washington's "meanest Congressman," and his office has one of the highest turnover rates in Congress.
The fight for the San Fernando Valley seat has been called one of the most bitter in the 2012 election cycle after redistricting pitted two one-time congressional allies against each other.
The two Democrats are competing against each other absent a Republican challenger because of California's top-two primary system that advanced the duo over the Republican challengers in June.
Berman has criticized his opponent for being a "me too congressman," signing on to popular legislation as a latecomer.
While Sherman has filed a Federal Election Commission complaint against Berman's brother in August, the Los Angeles Times reported. Sherman alleged that Berman overpaid his brother, Michael Berman for political consulting services for over two decades while spending much less on voter outreach in the Congressman's relatively uncontested reelection campaigns.
Both congressmen seemed to draw a semblance of a truce after the exchange last night.
"We are in a heated and expensive race. It's become a very emotional race," Berman said in a statement. "We [each] think that when smears are made, and when untruths are said, a person has to defend himself and that raises the intensity of the debate."
Sherman had a similar sentiment.
"The Pierce College debate was not conducted at the highest level. I regret my part in allowing emotions to distract from the exchange of views," Sherman said in a statement. "I agree with Howard Berman's statement at the Thursday debate."

Ewan's actual heartbeat/womb sound combinations mimic the noise babies hear in the womb and are proven to be effective at settling and calming your baby. Combined with the comforting pink glow, Ewan helps ease the transition from womb to world.
Ewan the Dream Sheep is soft and cuddly and can be used as a hand held toy or can be attached to the Cot side. He has gentle womb, rain or musical sounds and has a gentle pink glowing light in his chest.

I just checked the S/N of my disk, and they both starts with 5YD7, so I don't think there is a link here.
Well, that puts a damper on my idea.
I wonder what's making the tone.
I have my 5 disks installed in a Synology Disk Station DS508. SMART info is on, and the drives are always checked for temp and integrity.
The drive that failed showed absolutely no warning signs. It didn't get gradually louder, quieter, slower, unreliable or anything. I simply came home from a friends house one afternoon and my drive was making that very tone and my system stated "degraded" volume 1. I am however very greatful that I have it set up on a 1 disk failure safety - currently wondering if I should change everything over to a 2 disk failure safety.
Cootes, I don't know if you know this but a raid can mark a good drive out as bad drive, there is a way to reset the drive but I'm not sure how it's done myself as I never have any need for it, have a read ot this lot

My health won't allow me to. Enough about me though.. Tell me more about how awesome this new O/S from Microsoft is! Tell me more about how screwed up my life will be if I don't make the switch!
When I try to use an Osx which is mostly unfamiliar I just feel lost. I don't get a this is an annoying gui feeling. In windows 8 I got familiar but could not shake the this is annoying feeling.
Would you mind elaborating on the hardware/Windows 8 version? Otherwise you just sound like Gabe Newell and his childish explanation of why he thinks Windows 8 is bad I honestly don't see MS changing their attitude about the interface, no matter how much backlash they get from enthusiasts. Consumers will love Windows 8, and that's what MS is aiming for right now. Plus it works with their vision on how how Windows Phone will interact with Windows 8.
I have had mixed experiences with Window's 8. Especially regarding stability it particular applications(games). Once I updated my bios to a more W8 friendly update, things got alot more stable...
Just Uganda? Come on now you have to do more than that if you want to sell it to me. (Honestly I haven't taken any notice of anything here. I will only not get Windows 8 on one factor. And that is price. If the price is right I see no reason not to upgrade.)
So where is our enthusiast Os. Thats why I hope gaming takes off on linux. I really like how you can find a customized linux distro for your needs. Want a lightweight Os for gaming, use X. Need a super secure Os, use Y. Need something so easy your great grandmother can use it, use Z. Uganda... thats it... Can I get a bit more world peace? Microsoft will also have some major cashflow coming in too.
Personally I'm not feeling hindered by Windows 8 at all, so I'm not exactly what what makes Windows 7 more of an enthusiast OS than Windows 8. If anything, considering Windows 8 is less resource intensive I would think it would be better for enthusiasts to use. But I digress, with Windows 8 it's going to come down to personal opinion about the GUI that will make people switch/not switch.
I'm sorry. I thought the latest hipster place for people to give a crap about was Uganda. Used to be Dafur and before that Somalia. Where is it now? Well doesn't matter. Windows 8 will fix it. Don't let them fool you. They will ALL switch. They just have to hate it because its the "bad" cycle of the MS OS machine. Their sheeple bones won't let them do otherwise.
Well that's disappointing. Odd so many people were adamant they got a notable frame rate boost after switching to 8. Perhaps RTM is slower or their 7 installs were on older drivers.
I don't feel windows 7 is an enthusiast Os. It also is a one size fits all Os. Windows 8 is less resource intensive. It ran very well on my laptop. Windows 8 does even better at fitting all sizes. Windows is just really the only option for gamers. I want a selection of Os's to choose from so I can decide which one works best for my needs. It must also have the software compatibility of windows. You got a laugh out of me on that one.
I bet thier old installs were cluttered. You know how it is. Fresh install of any OS makes things better.
I think "enthusiasts" who complain about a ui that takes less then 1 min to get used to(for me and my gf), if you're half smart is quite silly, sense when do hardware and gaming enthusiasts/"power users" care about the ui of the OS if you're treating it like a game loader or w.e.
10fps jump in BF3 and Hard Reset...I'd say that is a bit of a difference. But worth it for the cost of a toddler throw up GUI...nah.
You're reading the graph wrong, Windows seven is faster in both those games. The 10 fps difference is going from a 7970 to a 680
Nope,join our little club and you'll find others who like it. Personally I think it's a clean and organized look. So what? Most of my friends hate the iPhone, doesn't seem to have hurt it's popularity.
The new gui? Yeah that's the thing that pops up every time I start the computer, I see it for all of 10 seconds before pushing the desktop button. I use win8 just the same as I used win7, but then again I never used the start menu and have always used a launcher so the start button being gone is just a plus for me, more space on the taskbar I will probably never use metro or whatever they want to call it now for more than a few minutes here and there, it really doesn't work too good on 3 monitors, but besides that, everything else is better than it was in 7. The new task manager is lovely and being able to have a taskbar on all 3 monitors without a third party app is also nice even though it sucks that you can't pin programs to any taskbar except the main one. Can't say much about the performance in games since I rarely look at how many fps I get (as long as I don't see it stutter it's all good) but the memory usage is definitely better than win7 and startup/sleep/shutdown times are wonderful.
I could take it or leave it, it didn't take much to get used to it, i do like big icon representations to find my programs quickly. I mean it was mostly learning new habits i didn't feel hindered by it, really i'd take windows 8 over windows 7 if i was getting a new os but i don't feel like spending money to get windows 8 for slightly updated things, although i did like the expansion admin tools etc. If i build a new system though i'd get windows 8 which is likely my personal play computer is 2 years old now.
Thank you very much for this. It's exactly what I have been waiting to see.. Windows 8.. t^^t.. I figured they'd make some shoddy OS this time and it looks like they did.. If you can't increase performance then the os is garbage. That's what they get for making a tablet os for REAL computers.. Tablets are toys.. PCs are for big boys..
I have an awful lot of friends and associates And they are a rather varied bunch of folk! Some don't care for tech at all, some are Apple lovers, others enjoy using it but don't really go all out. It's a nice bunch! and it's a large enough set of people to be considered a mini trial

Levon Helm's Rocking Rambles
In the mountains of upstate New York, the '60s bandleader plays host to musicians old and young with sets that play far into the night
- By Anne Miller
- Smithsonian.com, July 19, 2011, Subscribe
Editor's Note: Levon Helm died on Thursday, April 19, 2012 in New York City after losing his battle with cancer. He was 71 years old and best known as the drummer of the legendary rock group the Band. We examined Helm's extraordinary career and legacy in July 2011.
Deep in the Catskill woods the church of groove has blessed this Saturday night.
Beneath vaulted ceilings the horns blow, the women sing, the piano keys move the hammers and the drummer shakes his shoulders with the downbeat.
A guest unrecognizable in denim, bandanas and sunglasses is introduced as Conan O'Brien's bandleader, Jimmy Vivino. He addresses the assembled crowd of 200.
"I got my musical education in this church Levon built here," Vivino tells the crowd. "There's something magical going on in this barn."
With that, the Levon Helm Band kicks into the classic "Deep Ellum Blues," about the perils of Dallas' red-light district some 80 years ago.
The church – the barn—is the home recording studio-slash-living room of Levon Helm, an influential 1960s rock pioneer who still tours and records; his "Electric Dirt" won a 2009 Grammy. But one of his most lasting contributions to the American musical canon may just be the Saturday night musical throwdowns called the Midnight Rambles. Here in Woodstock, New York, a veteran house band welcomes neighbors, like Steely Dan's Donald Fagen, and younger musicians, like Shawn Mullins and Steve Earle, who share Helm's passion for song.
The sets roam over early blues, '60s standards and recent recordings, reimagined by a 12-piece band that includes a five-man horn section, and a small music store's worth of banjos, mandolins, a fiddle, a stand-up bass, a piano, guitars and the drums that make Helm famous.
The Rambles began in 2004 as moneymaker for Helm, who declared bankruptcy after the double blows of a house fire and cancer. The inspiration came from the traveling medicine shows of his Arkansas youth, and the musicians who played looser and talked dirtier as the night reached toward dawn.
Tickets cost $150 and go fast.
Visitors park in Helm's yard and enter next to a garage near the barn, where tables welcome potluck dishes for ticket-holders and the volunteer staff. Inside, wooden balconies overlook the performance space, and folding chairs line the floors. A lofted back area is standing room only, so close to the band the fans could high-five the tuba player. The front row could shake the singers' hands. Guest artists, staff and family line the wooden radiator bench – SRO folks brush by them with "excuse me" and handshakes.
There's no monitors or video screens, no $1,000 suits or producers, no stadium echo chambers. Many audience members are musicians themselves, from former roadies to office professionals with a big bass hobby. Five-hour drives aren't uncommon.
"If you want to know what it's like to understand the roots and development of American music, that's what the band was doing here in Woodstock," says Rebecca Carrington, whose ticket was a 43rd birthday present from her husband. "This is what all the American music gets back to."
Helm is 71. Many of his Saturday night openers are half his age.
On an icy winter Saturday night Irishman Glen Hansard dropped by. He won international fame for his movie Once. He has an Oscar and two bands – the Swell Season and the Frames – that tour the world.
The two greatest concerts he's ever seen, he says, are Helm's Rambles.

A great read! What a treat for those who get this musical experience. I just saw "The Last Waltz" at a special screening in Santa Monica a few weeks ago ... it IS The Great Concert Film ... from a musical period that still ranks as one of the best!

Catching up with your progress after a while... Good to hear your attempts and spawns are on going! What dragged me here again was a recent spawn of my old vittatus couple. This time though I have no suitable tank for them setup like last time (a year ago) so I have to keep them in floating breeder (7 eggs so far, fry in two days). My question is whether fry can have zuccini as initial food or if they can't make it without some algae which has obviously not grown on the walls of a breeder. I'm trying to plant some algae on stones outside the aquarium but it'll take time and might not be a success as it's winter here and not much sunshine.
Thanks and good luck!
Vlacek wrote:Nice yellowish grapes James:-) Looks promising. Thanks for the advice, I'll go with that. I have spirulina tabs which adults like so will crush them for the fry (which has already hatched yesterday evening (surprisingly)).

#20: Evan Fournier
Posted By Mark Nugent On June 28, 2012 @ 10:40 pm In All,NBA Draft | No Comments
With the 20th pick in the 2012 draft the Denver Nuggets select shooting guard Evan Fournier from France.
"I'm just so happy right now," Fournier said after being drafted. "It's amazing. It's like a dream. And I can't wait to go to Denver to meet my new teammates in the organization."
Fournier is one of the bigger projects in the first round of the draft. He is a 6'7'' shooting guard who weighed in at 204 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine. He's only 19 years old and last season played on what was considered a poor European team where he only averaged 14 points per game on just over 42% shooting from the field.
The Nuggets are clearly looking at this as a long-term project and not someone who is expected to come in and help right away. There is already talk that the Nuggets may push for him to stay overseas for another season before making his NBA debut.
Fournier's biggest area of concern is his shot selection. He enjoyed a lot of freedom last year in France, and it will be up to the Nuggets to rein him in and play within the team's system. Whether that happens next year or down the line is the question. Fournier only shot 27% from the three-point line last year, which isn't likely good enough to crack the Nuggets lineup, as a team they shot over 33% last season.
Fournier isn't concerned about his shot selection and believes he's similar to another foreign-born player. "I'm a slasher. I'm a kind of Ginobili. I can charge to the basket and finish around the rim. I think that's my biggest strength."
Fournier is a bit of a surprise pick for the Nuggets, but it could pay off down the line. There is no question Fournier has some major work to do, but the question is going to be whether they have him suit up this season in Denver, or if he spends a year or two overseas.
