Reality learns that programs using the latest algorithms which get run on clusters, definitely have either a big need for bandwidth, or low latency network cards. Sometimes you can rewrite problems from low latency to big bandwidth and/or vice versa. There is real real tiny number of applications that can't profit from low latency nor from a big bandwidth. In that case your above statement suggests that MPI is useless, which it is not :) >Unfortunately I can't recommend a simple established code or benchmark >which would allow transparent comparison of MPI versus OpenMP/MPI. I don't feel a comparision would be revealing much. By now MPI is simply a very generic standard (though exact implementation of function calls differs from one manufacturer to another) to ship data from one node to another one. It's relative easy to build a cluster using MPI. >Best, >Igor > >_______________________________________________ >Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org >To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > >

Adaptive Golf for People with Disabilities
Thu, 05/10/2012 - 10:47am | Linda Bollinger
As the weather gets warmer and the grass gets greener, our thoughts turn to outdoor activities. Golf is the perfect sport to combine fresh air and exercise. But if you have a disability or are recovering from an injury or illness, how can you get back into the "swing" of things? Many people incorrectly believe that once they've had a disability or injury, they will never be able to participate in the game of golf again. But there are many adaptive golf devices available to make it possible to play. The benefits of playing golf or another sport are endless, including building endurance, strength and self-esteem when hitting the ball again for the first time since a disabling injury or condition. Here are some of the adaptive devices available: Adaptive Golf Gloves and Gripping Aids Teeing Devices Single Rider Golf Carts Each spring Good Shepherd holds a Learn to Golf Clinic for people with disabilities. It was started by Bob Buck, executive director of the Eastern Amputee Golf Association (EAGA) and Good Shepherd's Recreational Therapy Department. The program teaches individuals with disabilities the basics of golf and teaches therapists and golf professionals how to instruct people in adaptive golf techniques. I've been involved in the clinic since its inception 27 years ago, and it has been very satisfying and rewarding to see people improve their health and well-being by returning to their recreational interests. More information on EAGA and upcoming golf clinics is available here. With a few modifications or adaptive devices, golf and other sports are possible and make all the difference in the world to people's motivation for rehabilitation and life! |

The Boca Grande Art Alliance is preparing for the First Annual Memorial Day Weekend Art Show, displaying the talents of many of Gasparilla Island's year-round residents.
The show will feature paintings, glass, jewelry and pottery by island artists, and will be held at the Art Alliance facilities at Park Ave. and Banyan Street.
The News - Featured News
If you haven't yet yeard about the Boca Grande reunions that have been taking place in the last three years, and you grew up in Boca Grande or spent a lot of time here, it might be an event worth checking out.
BY LIZA STROUT - Between the excitement of bridges being built at the north end and tarpon fishing in the Pass, it is easy for some things to slip between the cracks here on Gasparilla Island. That has not happened with the seawall owned by the Florida Park Service along the Gulf of Mexico at the Boca Bay Pass Club, though.
BY BONNIE PRINGLE - Gasparilla Island Water Association, Inc. (GIWA) will be temporarily changing the disinfection process for its Placida and Boca Grande potable (drinking water) water supply.
The following is an essay written by 14-year-old Nic Mostyn, a local boy who won the Gasparilla Island Kids Classic essay contest describing what fishing means to him. He and three friends won spots on a boat in the Kids Classic, sponsored by The Cradle, an 89-year-old child welfare agency in Evanston, Ill. that has facilitated more than 15,000 adoptions. Their captain will be Capt. Waylon Mills aboard the Blaze on May 19 when they compete in the tournament.
Fishing on the front dock is one of the best experiences you can have in Boca Grande. The front dock is the dock at Whidden's Marina where you can buy bait, hang out, and tell fishing stories. When I was growing up, going to Whidden's was my favorite thing to do. Hanging out there is the ultimate Boca experience and people have been making memories there for five generations and great memories on Boca Grande for over 100 years.

By Nancy Carol Mahnke
Poor Albert Parkhouse, so proud of taking one man's early version of a wall hook and morphing it into the modern clothes hanger in 1903. The marketing and sales from the Timberlake Wire and Novelty Co. in Michigan must have sealed his place in the inventors Hall of Fame forever. Poor O.A. North of New Britain, Conn., who might have congratulated himself for the modified clothes hook that inspired Mr. Parkhouse. And poor us, who struggle every day with these contraptions that catch on each other, on adjacent clothes, and on every possible nearby object including our skin, yet slip off their simple round rods like greased spaghetti.
The media, in fiction and reality, have all made fortunes riding the wave of fascination with aliens and our ultimate close encounter. I tell you they are already here - those ubiquitous, haughty clothes hangers, smirking to themselves as we swear in exasperation when they cling to each other. I hear them snickering, their little rattling chuckles sparking when three hangers fall as we reach for just one.
They have dwelt among us, literally closeted away, for over a century. They mentally possessed Mr. North and Mr. Parkhouse, who unwittingly opened the door to the aliens' far-reaching and, sadly, probably permanent residence on earth. They are in our homes, our cars - and everything we inhabit. They confound us, complicate our lives, impede our progress every step of the way in the guise of being a convenience. We have even convinced ourselves they are a necessary tool for other jobs (opening old car doors, retrieving items fallen beneath a grate, improvising a makeshift antenna). They listen to our lives, secretly sending data back to their home planet Confutatis in the galaxy Insidious. They toy with our moods and propagate in our dark closets. Clean out your closet, and you have too many. Look for just one, and they disappear. And they self-destruct just in time for our favorite pristine clothing, ready for the big dinner/date/job interview/15 seconds of fame, to fall in a wrinkled heap on the floor, or into a puddle in front of the car, or to be crushed in the hotel elevator door.
Anyone remember those old "hanger drives"? As children in the 1950s, we were encouraged to bring all our old hangers to school. Prizes were awarded for the highest number of hangers brought by one individual, class, grade or school. What better examples of mind control could there be? Rewards for hoarding hangers! Decades of parents shouting "Hang up your clothes!" The aliens made us believe we need factories to made a wide variety of hangers; now they don't really need to propagate anymore - they just absorb the new ones into the ranks and indoctrinate them in the isolation of The Closet. The world will not end in a flash from enemy starships, but from the mental decline of the human race made weary and driven mad by the relentless irritation of The Hangers.
Think about it. "They're he-e-e-e-e-re!''

Recent college graduates have entered one of the toughest job markets in decades. Full-time positions are scarce and with the unemployment rate hovering at 9 percent, some people have harsh words for those pursuing liberal arts degrees. For instance, Florida Gov. Rick Scott's message to anthropology majors: The state doesn't need more anthropologists. Perhaps he forgot his own daughter has a degree in the field. Oops!
In an interview with the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Mr. Scott said, "Is it a vital interest of the state to have more anthropologists? I don't think so." He told the paper that he wants to shift more funding to science, technology, engineering and math departments – aka the "STEM" disciplines – and away from departments like psychology and anthropology. This comment didn't sit well with the American Anthropological Association, prompting 11,000 of its members to fire back at Scott in a letter stating the governor is "unaware that anthropologists are leaders in our nation's top science fields, making groundbreaking discoveries in areas as varied as public health, human genetics, legal history, bilingualisms, the African American heritage and infant learning." A spokesman for the governor later said that he didn't mean to criticize anthropologists but rather intended to highlight the demand for graduates with degrees in STEM fields.
Do you think Gov. Scott's words were a bit too harsh? Should students pursue degrees in STEM fields because there is a demand? Recent liberal art graduates, would you go back to school and change your degree path?

We are not happy with the way things are at our schools on occasion. Something feels off, something does not seem fair, processes get complicated and emotions get stirred. Sometimes a school can benefit from a little cultural change and you can help get it started!
My school is basically an engineering school. Engineers are viewed and treated as royalty while other majors are left out in the dust and not provided with nearly as many opportunities. This has been a problem for the longest time and I am tired of complaining...so I'm changing things up. I intend to create a career fair for those who are not engineering students. As I mentioned in a recent article, companies mainly participate in our career fair to snag a good engineer and students with other majors (like me) do not participate because of this.
So what do you do if you want to change the way things are at your school? First, you need to get in contact with the right people. Interview faculty. Talk to students. Get your facts straight and get allies. From there, advertise your plan and goals. If you are passionate enough and have a great support group, it is possible that what you are trying to accomplish could be a success. Keep at it, learn from any mistakes and continue to pursue your goal. It only takes one person to start a wave of change – and how amazing would it be to be that one person?
Take note that campus culture does not change overnight, especially in my case. It could be years before my idea becomes a reality but this shift has to start somewhere!

Job and internship fairs are students' gateways to life after graduation because they provide exposure to what employment and internship opportunities are really out there. In addition to perusing the booths and picking up some swag, college students can also network and make connections with potential employers...but only if they prepare correctly.
The first thing college students should realize is that the recruiters are taking time out of their work days to come to speak to you. Their time is valuable and students should not waste it. Find out what companies will be at the fair ahead of time and research what they are looking for. A recruiter will be more willing to speak to someone who knows about their company than someone with no background knowledge. By doing your homework, you'll show you are serious about your interest in working for this particular employer.
Second, dress professionally. Think of a job fair as a pre-interview: Recruiters will be turned off if you show up in informal attire, especially if they took the time to wear a suit. Leave the jeans, sneakers and college hoodies back at the dorm: Dressing professionally shows you are ready for the working world and committed to your goals.
Last but not least, have multiple copies of a polished resume with you. In the weeks leading up to the fair, bring your resume to your school's career center and have them help fix it up. Remember to list your work history in reverse chronological order and highlight only your most significant and important achievements. You can also tailor your resume to fit specific companies – a move that definitely won't go unnoticed.
These are the most important things I think college students should do when preparing for a job or internship fair but what's worked best for you?

It puts me in a bit of an awkward position to explore what it takes to stand out from the pack: If I am unsuccessful, this blog post won't even stand out enough for you to finish reading it (which is just cruel irony) but I'll try my best.
By the time you finish high school, you have a pretty good idea of what sets you apart from your classmates. You've figured by then that because you get good grades and you excel at this or that, you are set apart and safely defined. Then you begin attending college and find out that you're surrounded by a bunch of people who also got good grades in high school and also excelled at the exact same this or that as you. Essentially, you meet a lot of other high schools' versions of yourself.
So how do you set yourself apart? How do you keep from getting overlooked in scholarship applications, interviews and program admissions? Stop trying so hard to find out what they want. Be excellent and work diligently but stop trying so hard to adjust to some imagined expectation of a winner and instead concentrate on figuring out what you truly have to offer. Explore yourself and take note of the winning qualities and the passions that rule your actions. Only in cultivating what you're actually good for (and we've all got something, even when you're feeling like you don't) and making those communicable and usable can you stand out from a crowd of anonymity.
In a world where the pool of people clamoring to fill positions is getting bigger, there are already plenty of cookie cutters and checklists, but there isn't nearly enough heart. So find yours, show it and watch the rest of the pack fade away.

With the economy in a slump, debt-ridden college students aren't alone in their financial struggles. Colleges and universities nationwide – who've had a fair share in creating insurmountable amounts of debt for the majority of students – have struggled to attract potential donors as concerns about volatile markets remain. Stanford University, however, may be the exception: A local philanthropist and his wife have donated $150 million to establish an institute aimed at alleviating global poverty.
The gift from Robert and Dorothy King includes a $100 million grant to start the Stanford Institute on Innovation in Developing Economies, which will be known as Seed. The new center will be housed in the business school and will conduct research, coordinate courses in social entrepreneurship and design, and oversee projects worldwide to alleviate poverty. "We know there are people out there who can make this world a better place, and we want to get behind them," Mr. King, a venture investor and philanthropist in Menlo Park, Calif., said in a YouTube video about the institute. The remaining $50 million will be set aside to encourage donations to Stanford programs that tackle poverty and, if all funds are matched, the total could reach $200 million.
What do you think of Mr. and Mrs. King's donation to Stanford and not those in need directly? Is this a step in the right direction or not?

As I type this blog entry, I have less than two months of college left before I get my bachelor's degree...and I am on an emotional rollercoaster.
When I first found out that I would be able to graduate a semester early, I was overcome with joy and during the summer, I could not wait to begin the fall semester and kept having visions of walking across the stage and smiling proudly as I realized all of my hard work had paid off. Although my excitement grows more and more each day, so does my stress level. Graduation is a wonderful time because family and friends gather to watch you close one chapter of your life and hear your plans of starting a new one. I am elated to know that everyone I care about will soon get to see how hard I have been working in school when they see all of the honors I've earned but since that day isn't here just yet, there's still much work to be done.
Although I am graduating, my workload has actually increased. I have to take the LSAT to get into law school and put together things such as my letters of recommendation and personal statements for my law school applications. I am very satisfied with the grades that I have made so far but the law school admissions process is pretty daunting and I often find myself frazzled when I think about how close the application deadlines are! I kind of wish I could hop in a time machine and go to May 2012 see how things worked out.
Behind all the stress, however, I know one thing is certain: I will make it through and when I do, the smile on my face will be even bigger and wider than it was at my high school graduation because of everything I've accomplished. Soon-to-be graduates, what are you looking forward to the most?

Tattoos and facial piercings have become part of modern day society and college culture. There is nothing wrong with this – I myself have seven piercings (three in each ear and one in my nose) and a tattoo – but with these artistic choices can come consequences that we may not think of when we are younger and attempting to fit in.
Many members of older generations do not view tattoos and piercings the same way we do. To them, they are forms of rebellion, disrespect and, most importantly, decisions that make it increasingly difficult to build favorable professional reputations. If you have a facial piercing, interviewing with a professional organization is risky: Unless you have an exceptional resume and amazing skills, most employers won't take you seriously.
Visible tattoos are deal breakers for many employers as well, especially for those who work alongside customers and are constantly representing the company. Professional workplaces will not tolerate visible tattoos; if you have any but also have your heart set on a career with this kind of organization, you should cover them up. Though many offices have adopted more casual dress codes, visible tattoos are still a long way from being accepted and could hurt your chances of getting hired: If there's one position available and the other applicant has a cleaner cut appearance, you could lose out.
If you just have to get a tattoo or piercing, I am not going to try to stop you. Just remember that the choices you make now will affect you in the future.

If you don't remember the name Adam Wheeler, here's a refresher: He was the Delaware student convicted of fraud for faking his way into Harvard with forged transcripts and plagiarized essays. Just last year, he was sentenced to 10 years of probation for his actions. You'd think his sensational story that garnered national attention would deter him from citing the school on a job resume…but you'd be wrong: Wheeler violated his probation by doing just that.
According to the terms of his probation, Wheeler was barred from representing himself as a Harvard student or graduate. His lawyer Steven Sussman acknowledged that Wheeler had violated that provision by stating on his resume that he had attended Harvard but said he did so because of the "financial pressure" to support himself and to pay the court-ordered restitution to the university. That "mistake" could translate into jail time, as assistant district attorney John Verner said he will ask that Wheeler be ordered to serve the remainder of his sentence – 2 years and 5 months – for violating his probation. During his sentencing hearing, Wheeler apologized and said he was "ashamed and embarrassed."
What do you think of Wheeler's actions? Should be serve jail time or seek counseling for being a compulsive liar?

If you're a recent college graduate, chances are you're having a rough time finding a job. It's nothing to be embarrassed about – times are tough and opportunities are slim – but next time you log on to a social networking site, realize this simple action could help in your job search. U.S. News and World Report has compiled the top five ways for college students (and graduates!) to use Facebook strategically to do just that:

If you're like most people, the thought of bees and the stings that can come with them fills you with dread. But if you're looking for a career where you can learn more about the hard-working critters, make a decent wage and spend a lot of time outdoors in the process, beekeeping might just be for you.
Many beekeepers are nearing retirement and thus, the beekeeping industry has a wealth of employment opportunities for up and coming beekeepers. Grande Prairie Regional College in Edmonton, Canada is hoping to produce the individuals to fill these positions with its 45-week beekeeping program. Students will learn how to construct wooden beehives, market honey products, keep bees safe from disease and a particular focus on queen rearing, or the process of raising healthy queen bees. (After all, you can't expect to produce much honey without an effective queen!) Participants are also promised 26 weeks of paid work in the industry. The program is thought to be the most comprehensive beekeeping program in North America and will show students just how crucial bees are to the economy and life in general. In addition to honey, bees play an integral role in the creation of candles, candy and cosmetics. As if that's not enough, almost a third of our food in North America would be impossible without bees' pollination!
If you're interested in applying for GPRC's beekeeping program, you can find out more about the program here. The application deadline is December 1st so get yours in soon to avoid the sting of rejection! If you decide you'd rather keep your studies confined to the U.S., there are also a variety of beekeeping organizations devoted to the practice all over the country. Get the buzz from this list.

Three new klezmer recordings offer a listen into the genre's past, present and possible future.
Klezmer was originally the soundtrack to the Jewish wedding, but no band has attempted to recreate such an event until recently. Working with people who were in Eastern Europe at the time klezmer was developed, the band Budowitz -- named for the maker of their accordionist's instrument -- crafted "Wedding Without a Bride" (Buda Musique, $18.98).

On the way to the European Union - Where do we stand?
29.05.2012, 12h30 - 14h30, expert roundtable
The country has obtained candidate status seven years ago but still has not been invited to start EU accession negotiations and has not been accepted into NATO, owing mostly to the unresolved name dispute with Greece. Apart from this, last year's progress report of the European Commission has been the most critical ever, highlighting problems in the field of media freedom, independent judiciary and public administration, the fight against corruption and a constructive political dialogue in the state. Even though the ruling government is ethnically more balanced with a coalition of VMRO-DPMNE and DUI, the latest violations have shown that inter-ethnic relations remain volatile and continue to give reason for concern. The International Court of Justice's ruling from December 2011 has legally strengthened the country's position but so far the UN-brokered name talks have continued without an agreement. The NATO summit in Chicago on 20-21 May 2012 will be a crucial event for the country's aspiration to become a NATO-member.
In the light of these latest developments, the EU office of Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung is pleased to offer a platform for constructive dialogue among high ranking decision and policy makers on where the country stands on its way of EU integration and whether and how progress can be achieved in the medium-term future.
Due to unforeseen changes, Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Teuta Arifi and Minister for Foreign Affairs Nikola Poposki had unfortunately to cancel their participation.
However, we are very pleased to welcome as guest speakers:
Radmilla Sekerinska, MP and Chair of National Council for European Integration
Prof. Nano Ruzin, Former Ambassador to NATO HQ Brussels and Presidential Candidate of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in 2009
Dr. Malinka Ristevska Jordanova, Director, European Policy Institute
Our guests will share with us their points of view on where the country stands on its way to EU and NATO integration and whether and how progress can be achieved in the medium-term future.
As co-speakers from EU we are pleased to welcome:
MEP Richard Howitt, Rapporteur, Committee on Foreign Affairs, European Parliament
MEP Eduard Kukan, Shadow Rapporteur, Committee on Foreign Affairs, European Parliament
David Cullen, Head of Unit, DG Enlargement, European Commission (tbc)
Jonas Jonsson, Head of Division, Western Balkans, EEAS (tbc)

I am terribly anxious about stupid crap today. Car flat tire. Skipping lunch with co-workers because I don't want to put crap in my body. Possible social activities this weekend. Women. What will I do with my dogs while I'm gone for WFF? Possibility of chiropractic college. It's all tying my stomach up in knots. I want to go home and lie down. Despite getting 9.5 hours of sleep last night, I don't feel my best today.
I've eaten some cooked food every day since my 150 days ended. Some days A LOT. Yesterday I had 3700 calories of raw food and I still made room for an afternoon vegan chinese food binge. At one point I had rice and bean tacos on corn tortillas 3 days in a row!! My body has been really good about purging it all on schedule, but I still have digestive pains from the poor digestion of the beans and all the spicy salsa.
Bottom line is I just don't feel my best. For the first 5 days cooked food didn't really effect me at all. I kept pushing it. Soy sauce. Oreos. Corn tortillas. Beans. Stuff I should NOT be eating even if I'm not 100% raw. My body has basically been fine (other than throwing up that one time) but it's all screwing with my head. I can feel myself losing my grip on being centered in my emotions.
Today I'm raw so far. I made 6L green smoothie this morning and so far I've had 2L of it. Hopefully that will be enough for today. I guess I can always make more when I get home. My goal is be 100% raw again by 7/15/12. That is the anniversary of my first 30 day challenge which started on 7/15/11.
JUST KEEP SWIMMING, JUST KEEP SWIMMING! you got this, bro. :) keep up the good work. believe you can flyyyy (with raw foods!)
Ha! That's too funny that you ran into Danimal, pretty cool. The world *is* strange.
You know, I realized that the happiest I've been lately is not calling myself 100% raw. It takes off so much pressure. I just tell people I am mostly raw. And by acknowledging such myself, it makes me feel "free." From what I see here been is that you do not feel "free."
You are human. It's okay to make mistakes. If you want a cooked meal occasionally, let's say 1x or 2x a month, fine. Health is holistic. Psychological, emotional, and spiritual health matter, too.
Last week, I had beans, no salt/ no condiments, with salad. I didn't react too badly, but it made me voluntarily go back to raw. I am enjoying my raw meals more because of this. It also keeps me away from the highly processed vegan junk food because I know I have the option of going to a healthier cooked vegan meal if I wanted. Whole foods are better than processed!
Love yourself. Be raw 7/15/12. And don't get upset at yourself if you decide not to the day before or the day after. But love yourself enough to celebrate your accomplishments with a raw day on your anniversary. See how it feels... and take it from there.
Finally, try not to use food to numb emotions (I know you got a divorce, and that's tough, I can imagine). Use it to help you heal, even if you have no buffer. Don't be afraid to cry. Don't be afraid to lose your insanity a bit in the midst of tears. Holding it in will only make it worse and may cause a vicious cycle of back and forth raw.
Hope this helped!
With love,
Random, I ran into Danimal from the RawBrahs at the Austin Whole Foods today. We may be working out together this weekend. The world is strange...
Ben, have you been feeling ill (flu/cold) since falling off the wagon? I have...
It'd be great to get back on 100% in preparation for the WFF! So cool that you are going!!! :D
I wouldn't hesitate to up the calories more to see if it helps.
This lovely lady eats 4000+ cals a day:
check her out in her inspiring video:
Something to think about that I have experienced... when I feel that way, when there are all these worries seemingly thrown my way and I start becoming/feeling emotionally unbalanced because of them, I too also lie down and think, what IS worth worrying about? What do I want my future to be like? Then, maybe after thinking about that, I ask, what do I want to do right now? What would be the most worth my time in this moment? Although I think people will say, "Just enjoy the moment" a lot, I also believe joy can come from imagining the future and then finding perspective for the moment. With long-term goals or your lifestyle in mind, it is easier to see the present and realize what is really important.
Wishing you all the best Ben getting back to 100% raw :) Nothing keeps the body and mind in balance like fruit does! Take care, Esperanza xxx

Okay, so by now you've almost certainly bought most of the Christmas presents you will be buying for the people that are on your Christmas list because. well. let's face it, because they HAVE to be.
You know who I mean: your mother and father, the kids, aunts and uncles and cousins - all the people who are going to give you stuff, so you HAVE to give something to them so they won't think you're some kind of a slob.
By now, surely, you have got those easy ones taken care of. or at least, if you're the man of the house, your wife has done that for you.
(And if she hasn't, then you'd better get cracking! It's time to remind her that time is getting short.)
So now is the time to start thinking about the people to whom you REALLY would like to give something.
The politicians. After all, they do so much for us all year round, and they always ask so little in return.
And it's not like they're never always thinking of us. Indeed, as testament to their caring, I have a collection of decades' worth of Christmas cards I receive practically every year from many of my representatives in Victoria and Ottawa and the municipal hall, all thoughtfully paid for with my own tax money.
We all owe them. Dearly.
And they remind us of that every time they raise our taxes. or raise their own pay.
And I especially appreciate their apologetic attitude when they cast their vote to give themselves more of my money.
Indeed, we owe them.
And what better time than Christmas to show them that we care as much about them as they care about us.
Maybe more, in fact. So here are a few gift suggestions for some of the politicians who I feel have touched me personally over the past year.
Federally, I would honour my local Conservative representative with the gift of understanding: understanding, that is, that he represents the Conservatives, and not me.
And in that recognition, I feel it is appropriate to offer his gift, by proxy (naturally), to Stephen Harper. Admittedly, when I think of Stevie, I automatically think of the Grinch - who needed only a few sizes added to his heart in order to make him a truly lovable character. But recognizing the vast difference between Harper and the Grinch, perhaps we should just start with a heart. whatever size is available.
Oh! and a Mandarin-English translation program for his personal text messaging device.
A little closer to home, I would like to give Premier Christy Clark hope for a new tomorrow with better poll numbers, or failing that, lots of opportunities for good jobs after May - and not just the minimum-wage service industry jobs that help to bolster the employment figures of which she and her cohorts are so proud.
For Adrian Dix, I have a box of patience - as they say, all comes to he who waits (provided your political opponents don't find something more substantial than patience to give to the press).
To municipal politicians everywhere, I offer the joy of giving. themselves pay increases cleverly disguised as expense allowances.
But I can't afford to actually buy any of them anything - because they already have all of my money.
So I'll just send them my best wishes for a warm bed and a relaxing sleep on Christmas Eve without having to think about the homeless, the working poor, the over-taxed middle class. you know: just like any other night.

Georgetown admissions changes SAT Subject Test policy
Posted by: Geoffrey Bible in Vox Populi, tags: Class of 2015, College Board, Harvard University, SAT Subject testsRemember being forced to sit through at least three hours of SAT II subject testing, just so you could apply to Georgetown? Beginning this year, applicants will not be required to subject themselves to the testing.
The Examiner reports that Georgetown and Harvard University flew under the radar with their recent decisions to no longer require that three subject tests be submitted with an application for consideration.
Harvard dropped their requirement down to two, which Examiner contributor Nancy Griesemer believes the change may be a sign of the shrinking significance of standardized testing.
Georgetown, however, shifted the wording on the application rather than changing the number required.
The Office of Admissions altered the wording on the application to indicate that subject tests are now "strongly recommended" rather than being required of applicants.
What does this mean for Class of 2015 hopefuls? Although it's still probably in the best interest of applicants to have three subject tests, there's a good chance that many people will now simply opt out of more standardized testing.
Vox looks forward to seeing the response from standardized testing behemoth the College Board in regards to the reduction in standardized testing.

Since the 1990 National Jewish Population Survey (NJPS) reported that 52 percent of Jews were marrying non-Jews, the American Jewish community has been split on how to respond. While many on the left have called for greater outreach and acceptance for interfaith families, others have urged the community to more aggressively promote "inmarriage."

WE DIDN'T GET INTO THIS ON TODAY'S SHOW but there is a fight going on down in Columbus, and we have an interesting group on each side. Democrats and some Republicans are saying NO to a new bill that would raise your energy costs while fattening the public utilities bottom lines (at least if you agree with their side). We have another side that says we need to adjust Ohio's renewable energy and efficiency mandates because they are probably illegal (this side is backed by the utilities and other Republicans). You can bet that those opposed to the new law are doing so because the voters will have a real problem if they see their energy costs sky-rocket. The first group also cries foul because many of the people who agree with the law were put into office by campaign money donated by....utility companies! I've got the solution, let's just go back to candles and smoke signals...yea that's the way to go.
I ALSO FAILED TO MENTION THAT WHILE THE Affordable Care Act has been a disaster thus far, a recent report indicates that since the Obama Administration said things were much improved, sign-up have increased big time. I don't know about you, but I'm really interested to see how this thing all plays out.
WE HAVE TALKED AT TIMES ABOUT THE Portage Crossing development in Cuyahoga Falls (some say this is why Don Robart lost his re-election bid last month). Now the Falls' neighbor, Stow, is wondering what to do with the almost empty Stow-Kent Shopping Center. I've got to believe this could be a great thing for Stow. That plaza (like many of the older plazas in the area) has been declining for decades. That is a perfect spot for retail and a few improvements could make all the difference in the world. Let's hope they have better luck than the folks in the Falls.

This is a shorter, yet fresher version of my previous interest check linked in my avatar. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more.
Greetings, and welcome to my new and fresh interest check. Below I have listed a couple of fandoms I would love to do and a brief introduction about myself. I am an experienced writer where English is my second language, my timezone is GMT + 1 and I tend to post 3-5 times a week if everything runs smoothly and as for now I am currently trying to get back in the game after a longer hiatus. Replies might come more often if I got nothing on my plate. I tend to prefer using canon-characters in many of my roleplays, but I can also settle with our own if that's what you want. I can play both genders and double without any trouble. Blood and sexual content do not disturb me, but if those element are to be included I would want a mature partner and with mature I mean that you should be at least 18 years old or older.
What I expect from you as a partner is a few replies a week and I'll be happy. I would love three or maybe even four paragraphs per reply, with two as a minimum. Please be thorough with your grammar and spelling, but I can accept the occasional mistake. And please, never, ever control my characters without my consent.
NOTE: The titles highlighted in red means that's one of my current cravings.
Hell on Wheels
Sons of Anarchy (Got one fully fleshed plot for this! Canon-Pairing: Juicy & Tara)
A Game of Thrones (Got one plot in storage for this. Canon-Pairing: Jorah x Dany)
Mass Effect (Several plots avaliable for this universe, some canon while a few require a more alternative setting.)
Halo (Got one plot in storage for this. Canon-Pairing: Master Chief x Cortana)
Far Cry 3
Red Dead Redemption
Assassin's Creed (Several plots avaliable for this universe, some canon while a few require a more alternative setting.)
Pacific Rim
Christopher Nolan's Batman Triology
As for now, I would love if someone was willing to do this Sons of Anarchy-idea with me. So if you are interested then please write down below or send me a PM.

We (a couple) stayed at this b&b in October 2013. The location is average, a good 25 min walk to the city centre, accessible by bus. The rooms were... very basic, small but clean. The host was friendly and nice. The negatives: 1. The most annoying part was the host was speaking to someone in the apartment in Italian late afternoon and early morning. This was very disturbing as the rooms are all close to the dining area. 2. The breakfast was very very average, supermarket croissants and not much choice that looked appetising. Felt cheap and not worth the 65 euros we paid for one night. Overall not recommended if you are looking for a nice relaxing place close to the city centre 投稿者 : Hotels.com のゲスト、投稿日 : 2013/10/20

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
*Russian provinces
*Russian provinces. Settings in flashback episodes. After a brief introduction set in Petersburg in which it is revealed that Ivan Ilych has died, the story moves rapidly through three anonymous provincial towns of the character's past. Lacking physical detail, these merge into one another. The very lack of specific character of the places that Ilych inhabits allows Tolstoy to suggest that it is, ironically, the very ordinariness of Ilych's life that explains its final horror.
As Ilych graduates from the Petersburg School of Law and prepares to take his first post in the "provinces," Tolstoy announces the story's moral theme: "Ivan Ilych's life had been most simple and most ordinary and therefore most terrible"; Ilych "was neither as cold and formal as his elder brother nor as wild as the younger, but was a happy mean between them—an intelligent, polished, lively and agreeable man." He has chosen a life of comfort, security, and social conformity, and Tolstoy's condemnation of this amoral conventionality is the story's core moral idea.
Ivan Ilych is a fascinating caricature of the ordinary man of competence and duty but of no particular passion, who chooses to lead what a later generation would call an "inauthentic life." While Ilych performs his professional legal duties, attends the usual social gatherings, has the infrequent love affair, and finally drifts into a marriage...

Style and Technique (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
Tolstoy's first draft of this story was written in the first-person point of view with Ivan interpreting the events. Probably because of the importance of the theme of the story, Tolstoy later changed to an omniscient point of view, which more clearly shows the attitudes of the other characters toward Ivan's death. In the opening section, Tolstoy emphasizes the others' lack of concern over their friend's death. In describing Piotr's interview with Praskovya Fyodorovna, he concentrates on the little details of her shawl catching on the end of the table and Piotr's discomfiture in sitting on a pouf with broken springs, showing their distractions from the important event of Ivan's death. He thus prepares the reader for the simple, ordinary, and "most terrible" life that Ivan led, as is described in the second section of the story.
The second section is simply a prelude to the climactic death throes of the third part. Ivan's life is detailed in a straightforward narrative emphasizing his aloofness both with his family and official associates, and, one might say, with his own feelings. All of his attitudes and values seem to come from without, from what society considers the proper thing to do.
Fully half the chapters of the story are devoted to the fatal illness and Ivan's reactions to his family, friends, and doctors, as they all come to the realization that there is nothing they can do for him and that he is fatally ill....

Historical Context
Tolstoy's Russia
In the period during which Leo Tolstoy was writing, Russia was experiencing much turbulence politically, socially, and economically. In the 1880s, the assassination of Alexander II and the reign of Alexander III facilitated violent reactions to the government and a period of autocracy within the government. Alexander III was extremely conservative and imposed many new rules upon the people of Russia to guard against revolution. His regime also saw a new campaign of Russification and anti- Semitic legislation. While industrial growth stagnated during this time, the first Trans-Siberian Railroad was built, which eventually aided in Russia's development.
The hardships endured by the peasantry at this time, including a famine in 1891 and a cholera epidemic in 1892, were severe. One can read in Tolstoy's writing the deep respect which he held for the peasants of his time who worked in harmony with the land and were not obsessed with material success. The character of Gerasim in ''The Death of Ivan Ilych'' demonstrates Tolstoy's fascination with and romanticizing of Russian peasantry. Tolstoy devoted time before the writing of ''The Death of Ivan Ilych'' to improving the lot of the Russian serfs. He even organized relief for the starving population of the eastern ''backlands,'' which consisted of twenty provinces and forty million peasants, in 1891 and 1892. Even in the 1850s, before he began his...

Literary Style
Point of View
''The Death of Ivan Ilych'' is narrated by a third-person voice, telling Ivan Ilych's life story from what often seems like an objective point of view. The narrator speaks of the events in Ivan Ilych's life, both great and small, in the same tone. Ivan's marriage, his new house, the deaths of three of his children, the birth and education of two, and his fall while fixing the curtains are described in impersonal, quick paragraphs. Events that seem as though they should be more significant in his life are often thrown together with matters that are trivial, bringing all in Ivan Ilych's life down to the same superficial level. As paragraphs start with ''So . . . ,'' they sweep away years of Ivan Ilych's life that are pleasantly and inconsequentially lived. Because Ivan Ilych treats all aspects of his life, from his work to his friends and family, in the same decorous and proper manner, everything within his life floats past him and is met with the same air of indifference.
The first section of ''The Death of Ivan Ilych'' takes place in Shebek's private room, where Ivan Ilych's colleagues first learn of his death and immediately think of the promotions that they are bound to receive. It orients the reader to a setting in which Ivan Ilych himself is later said to have enjoyed many breaks during the workday, and it connects the shallow mentality of his colleagues with his own...

Compare and Contrast
1900s: People in developed countries often die in their own homes before 50 years of age, following a brief illness. Families often gather around the deathbed, a ritual in which much importance is placed on the dying person preparing for death.
1990s: Most people in industrialized countries die after age 65. The average person spends about 80 days in a hospital or nursing home during the last years of life.
1882: Tolstoy publishes A Confession, in which he documents his spiritual crisis and repudiates much of his earlier work. He undergoes a radical religious conversion which greatly influences his subsequent works.
1990s: The Celestine Prophecy, by James Red- field, predicts a spiritual renaissance and renews interest in spiritual matters for many readers.
1800s: Social conventions discourage unhappy couples from divorcing. Divorce is frowned upon and even illegal in many nations.
1990s: Statistics show that more than half of all marriages end in divorce.

Topics for Further Study
Compare the philosophical attitudes of Leo Tolstoy's contemporaries on death. Was a fear of death and its implications for a meaningless or more meaningful life a common preoccupation during the time Tolstoy was writing? What ideas of death are made more lucid in Tolstoy's ''The Death of Ivan Ilych'' which where also being explored by contemporary philosophers?
Explore Tolstoy's ideas about social conventions and their effect on human development in comparison with Franz Kafka's portrayal of Gregor in ''The Metamorphosis.'' Could any of Freud's works elucidate what these authors are trying to convey?
Are Tolstoy's allusions to religious ideologies in ''The Death of Ivan Ilych'' (such as his use of Ivan Ilych's fatal fall and the Biblical fall, and his reference to Ivan seeing the light before he dies) too dependent on a framework which has faith in God? Do Tolstoy's religious undertones detract from the narrative of Ivan's death?

Media Adaptations
''The Death of Ivan Ilych'' was adapted for the stage by Myrtle Pihlman Pope and published by Stephen F. Austin State College in 1958.

What Do I Read Next?
In Ambrose Bierce's ''An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge'' (1891), Peyton Farquhar is about to be hanged from a bridge because of a military crime. The rope breaks, he escapes by swimming away, and he reviews the events of his life—all in a hallucination in the instant before his death.
In Kate Chopin's ''The Story of an Hour'' (1894), Louise Mallard receives news that her husband has died in a train wreck. Tearlessly, she retreats to her room and reviews the course of her married life. She comes to recognize that she has gained great personal freedom with his death. When her husband suddenly walks in the door— he was not on the train after all—she drops dead. Her family and physician assume she died of joy.
''The Metamorphosis'' by Franz Kafka, published in 1937, depicts the transformation of Gregor Samsa from a responsible young man to a bug. Kafka's emotional portrayal of Gregor and his family create insight on the facade of social propriety and one's need to escape the dominating roles of society.
In Thornton Wilder's play Our Town, written in 1938, the central character, called the Stage Manager, reviews the histories of the lives of various inhabitants of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire.
Joan Didion's ''Some Dreamers of the Golden Dream,'' published in 1966, mingles fact and fiction. It is the real account of a real woman, Lucille Marie Maxwell Miller....

7. Platforms¶
Platforms abstract query generation and the subtle differences of the supported database vendors. In most cases you don't need to interact with the Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms package a lot, but there might be certain cases when you are programming database independent where you want to access the platform to generate queries for you.
The platform can be accessed from any Doctrine\DBAL\Connection instance by calling the getDatabasePlatform() method.
$platform = $conn->getDatabasePlatform();
Each database driver has a platform associated with it by default. Several drivers also share the same platform, for example PDO_OCI and OCI8 share the OraclePlatform.
If you want to overwrite parts of your platform you can do so when creating a connection. There is a platform option you can pass an instance of the platform you want the connection to use:
$myPlatform = new MyPlatform();
$options = array(
'driver' => 'pdo_sqlite',
'path' => 'database.sqlite',
'platform' => $myPlatform
$conn = DriverManager::getConnection($options);
This way you can optimize your schema or generated SQL code with features that might not be portable for instance, however are required for your special needs. This can include using triggers or views to simulate features or adding behaviour to existing SQL functions.
Platforms are also responsible to know which database type translates to which PHP Type. This is a very tricky issue across all the different database vendors, for example MySQL BIGINT and Oracle NUMBER should be handled as integer. Doctrine 2 offers a powerful way to abstract the database to php and back conversion, which is described in the next section.
