Just as Big L began to perfect his art to the fullest, he was fatally shot on the streets of Harlem. At the time of his death, L was just beginning to rise from D.I.T.C.'s levels of obscurity with his hit single, "Ebonics", and was in being considered by Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella imprint to sign a record deal. Could this have happened at a worse time? It's a shame it happened at all.
A year and a half has passed since his death, and Rawkus has taken up the task of sewing together what unreleased and obscure material that L had, and turning it into a full-length project. Naturally, his recent singles appear, such as the dictionary of slang, "Ebonics", plus its follow-up "Size Em Up", both of which display L's cleverness and gangsta wit. The previously released "The Heist", along with new selections like "Casualties Of A Dice Game", displays his other talent - vivid, picture-painting narratives.
But showcasing Big L's life after death isn't an easy task. Obviously, the project coordinators did not have a lot to work with here and at times, it shows. "The Heist" actually makes two appearances on the album, once in original form, and once again as "The Heist Revisited", with simply a different beat behind it. D.I.T.C.'s "The Enemy" is also included, marking its fourth time being released, and as blazing as it was, it's been heard too many times before. Another problem that hurts this album is the long list of guest appearances. It's obvious why they were needed, but when people like 2Pac, Miss Jones, and Stan Spit (?) start showing up on the album, the question arises - would they have been on the album if L was still with us? Granted, collaborations with Sadat X and Guru ("Games"), and Big Daddy Kane "Platinum Plus" seem pretty natural, but after a while you forget that you are listening to a Big L album.
Like recent releases from Biggie and 'Pac, L's legacy is represented here, but only to a certain extent - because we all know that only Big L held the true vision what his album should have sounded like. We can't be mad at anyone for putting in the time to make this project a reality. It's appreciated, and it's good that we have it ? but it's sad that we have to have it under these circumstances.

Aurora Theatre Company Presents A DOWN HOME CHRISTMAS WITH NELL & JIM, Now thru 12/21
Berkeley's acclaimed Aurora Theatre Company presents a "house" concert for the holidays with Nell Robinson and Jim Nunally in A DOWN HOME CHRISTMAS WITH NELL & JIM. This intimate show inaugurates Aurora Theatre Company's Second Stage cabaret performance space, Harry's UpStage, located in the Nell and Jules Dashow Wing. A DOWN HOME CHRISTMAS WITH NELL & JIM plays for eight performances only, tonight, December 13-21 at the Aurora Theatre in Berkeley. Tickets ($25 and $28) may be purchased directly from the Aurora Theatre Company box office by calling (510) 843-4822 or online at auroratheatre.org.
Featured performers at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, the Strawberry Music Festival, and the Kennedy Center, Nell Robinson and Jim Nunally write and record roots music reminiscent of classic country duos such as Tammy Wynette and George Jones. Filled with country ("Christmas Time's a Comin," "If We Make It Through December," "Daddy Looked a Lot Like Santa") and Christmas ("Greensleeves," "Winter Wonderland") classics, as well as original numbers from Nell and Jim's new album House & Garden, A DOWN HOME CHRISTMAS re-creates that home for the holidays feeling with a joyous, intimate concert full of harmony and heart.
Nell Robinson has been called one of the most "utterly charming" and "freshest voices" in roots music today. Over the past four years she has appeared on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion, at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, the Strawberry Music Festival, the Kate Wolf Music Festival, and has enjoyed sold out performances at Berkeley's Freight and Salvage. This past fall, Nell, duet partner Jim Nunally, and friends were featured performers at Washington DC's Kennedy Center. Additional musical projects include Soldier Stories, a tribute to veterans and their families, and the whimsical 1930s-inspired yodeling duo, The Henriettas.

Driving Somewhere For Memorial Day? Beware!

this article
, which lists some of the craziest driving laws in the U.S.! How on earth did they come up with these? Especially the one about shooting whales from your car in Tennessee. Do they even HAVE whales in Tennessee? LOL! Here are a few of the highlights: In California, no vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour. In Florida, if an elephant, goat or alligator is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle. In Montana, it is illegal to have a sheep in the cab of your truck without a chaperone. In Oregon, a door on a car may not be left open longer than necessary. In Tennessee, it is illegal shoot any game other than whales from a moving automobile. I WISH cars could go over 60 mph with no driver! If they ever offer that as an option, I'm soooo getting it! Haha! In all seriousness, Memorial Day Weekend is the kickoff to summer driving season and there will be a lot of extra drivers on the road, so be extra careful out there.... ...and make sure you

I saw pictures of this little Asian babe when her boyfriend was showing them around in the bar one night. He wanted everyone to see what a great fuckable body his girl had. I think he was looking for customers for her webcam site actually. We recognized her from a promo I saw at the movies one evening. Personally I think she should get rid of him and take care of her own business! But she says it is free advertising if she lets him pass out pictures

Between Dante's Inferno and God of War this year, it would seem that all the good religions for stylish third-person action games had been taken up.

Yeah, that's gotta hurt... As developers continuously work on ways to advance games and the different ways to play them, the Beat-em-up genre is one that is surely dieing out.

Throughout my experiences of gaming, I've often wondered if our relatively new medium of (dare I say it incase of slander:) art could be getting too immersive. Half of the thrill of video games is of course immersing yourself within the world of some alternate persona and in the case of games such as Bioshock in which the player assumes the role of a silent protgonist, it just becomes more inherent.

Landes, a professor of history who is also the director and co-founder
of the Center of Millennial Studies at Boston University, told The Jerusalem
Post from Prague via phone.This form of radical Islam "cannot possibly
tolerate other people's religions," he continued."Talk about the Grinch
at Christmas," he added, pointing out that the arrest came on the Christian
holiday.Landes, who spoke earlier this year at a CAMERA event on the
persecution of Christians in the Middle East, said that the Arabs kicked out the
"Saturday people [i.e. Jews] in 1948 from Muslim-majority countries in the
region and are now kicking out the Sunday people [Christians]."He
described the persecution of Christians as "catastrophic for the world and the
Middle East."Landes told the Post that the West needs to seriously think
about the issue of reciprocity when dealing with intolerant forms of
Islam.The West needs to be "less generous," he opined, added that a
religion of peace should not treat other faiths this way and that the "West
should be working to protect these people [Christians]."In an email to
the Post on Saturday, Ben Cohen, a New York-based writer who has reported
extensively on the persecution of Christians, wrote, "From the moment of his
release, the Iranian authorities made it clear that Nadarkhani would likely
return to jail to complete his original sentence. Taking him into custody on
Christmas Day is a sobering reminder that fear, harassment and intimidation are
the regime's principal tools in its dealings with Iranian Christians. And so we
enter 2013 with both Nadarkhani and Dadkhah, his lawyer, behind
bars."According to Fox News, since Nadarkhani's release in September,
his attorney, Muhammad Ali Dadkhah has been imprisoned."Iran's flagrant
disregard for international law by imprisoning this Christian for a second time
for his faith did not occur coincidentally on Christmas Day. Iran is
increasingly persecuting Christians and anyone who is willing to defend them,"
wrote the Washington-based American Center for Law and Justice, which promotes
religious freedom both in the US and abroad and spearheaded a massive global
media and political campaign for Nadarkhani's release in
September.During an appearance on Fox News, Jay Sekulow, the chief
counsel for the ACLJ, decried Iran's regime as "lawless," and pointed out that
it had also imprisoned Iranian-American Pastor Saeed Abedini in
December.Sekulow said the ACLJ is pressing all organizations to release
the religious and political prisoners, including Nadarkhani's attorney. He said
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps was involved in the arrests and was working
against proponents of Christianity.The IRGC is believed to be
supervising Iran's nuclear program and behind terrorist operations across the
globe.Dexter Van Zile, an American media analyst who is affiliated with Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) and works to draw attention to the plight of Christians living in Muslim-majority countries, wrote the Post by email on Saturday, "These oppressive acts expose Iran as an open-air gulag deserving of contempt from free people everywhere. If the West remains silent it proves itself unworthy of the liberties it now enjoys."

Well week 2 is about done. Some are seeing this isn't as "easy" as they thought it would be. What we don't realize is that easiness got us overweight. It was easy to get that second helping. It was easy to reach for the dessert. It was easy not to exercise. Now's the time to do things that aren't so easy, but are worth it in the long term. The pride we feel for accomplishing something that most won't is incredible. Especially when it's something that just about anyone can do, but the fact that one made a decision to do it is awesome! I'm so proud of this Challenge Team!
Went to the mall yesterday with my husband and went into Ann Taylor Loft. I love this place and hadn't shopped there in over a year because I felt too big for all their cute clothes. The last two pairs of pants I bought there were size 12 and they weren't loose either. I just wasn't willing to get a 14. Well I went there just to try on some pants and HEEEEYYY, a size 8 fit very nice with plenty of room!!! I was so excited. I didn't buy them, didn't even like them, just wanted to see what size I was in. Ha ha!
My personal trainer told me last week that my workout clothes were too baggy, and I should get some that fit better. So that was my excuse to go shopping for new workout clothes (it's been ages). The best part about that experience was that I fit into a MEDIUM!!! I can't even tell you how long it's been since I wasn't a large. And they're not even tight! Woo Hoo!
This is 6 months work in progress. It hasn't been easy, but it's been SO rewarding and I know the best is still yet to come.
TOTALLY enjoying the process!
Today was my first day since before the challenge that I didn't have to "work" on the challenge. I think I've got just about everything taken care of, templates, trackers, etc.
Organizing this challenge so far is already rewarding beyond words. To hear people talk about life changes they're making, seeing people make new friends, seeing someone that was drinking 24 cans of soda a day, now drinking two and drinking over a gallon of water a day - WOW! I'm so inspired by everyone's commitment to themselves.
Sometimes we just get busy with life and stop to think how the decision we're making now will affect us 5-20 years later. Many people doing this challenge will make lifestyle changes that will save them from having heart attacks, getting diabetes, etc. I am so thankful to my friend Jennifer who had the idea and suggested I organize this. Funny thing is, Jennifer isn't even doing the challenge, though she told me she needs to lose 50 lbs. Oh well. I'm just glad I took her up on the idea. This challenge keeps me focused on doing the right things for myself even more.
I just know that when these 90 days are over, I will have made some lifetime friends.
Really enjoying the process.
Ok, so when I decided to do this, I had no idea it would be this much work up front. I'm not complaining because I'm loving the entire process. At least once I have everything down, when (or if) I do this again, it will be much smoother. But I have spent several hours a day logging, tracking, reviewing, etc. for the team. Now, the majority of the work is done.
It is so fulfilling, seeing people make positive changes in their lives. It keeps me motivated knowing I want to be a good example for everyone as well. Especially having people get on the Sparkpeople site. I've learned so much from SP this year and I know others can benefit the same way, and having a competition just takes it to the next level!
Getting used to getting up earlier and working out. Great thing is that it's done for the day, and it's so much fun working out with a friend (Grace).
Just loving life and enjoying the process!
Ok, so my plan was to use today for my day off of working out. Then, my wonderful husband comes home and wants to take me out for a glass of wine. So we grab a bite from a place called Cosi at Shoppes at Wiregrass and had the smallest sandwich I had ever seen! I couldn't believe how tiny this thing was. But it was filling, with the tomato basil soup. So I had less than 500 calories there. Then we had our glass (ok, two glasses) of wine. So on the way home, I decided I HAD to work out. So went to the gym at 8:30pm and did the Glider for 30 minutes, burned 311 calories, so got rid of the 200 calories from the wine!
Long story short (too late I know), I treated myself, but I worked it off! So no guilt!
On to Day 6!
I'm so sore from my workout yesterday, but didn't let it stop me! Did 40 minutes of cardio with Grace, then got home and ran 2 miles. I just felt really good! I forgot to mention that yesterday my personal trainer told me my workout pants were too big to be wearing! That's a good thing, so after the workout Grace and I went shopping and got some new workout clothes!
Ok, I can officially say I tried to eat cottage cheese, but it literally makes me gag! I'll use it in recipes, but I can't eat it straight!
Day 4 of the SS Challenge. It was a little quiet today, so I think I'll touch base with many of the teammates tomorrow! Looking forward to the first weigh-in this Sunday!
Enjoying the process!

La Fille du regiment, Royal Opera
Donizetti's opera comique La Fille du regiment returned to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, for its third revival.
After the horrors of Jagoš Marković's production of Le Nozze di Figaro in Belgrade, I was apprehensive lest Nabucco in Serbia's second city of Novi Sad on 27th October would be transplanted from 6th century BC Babylon to post-Saddam Hussein Tikrit or some bombed-out kibbutz in Beersheba.
First Toronto, then Houston and now San Francisco, the third stop of a new production of Puccini's La bohème by Canadian born, British nurtured theater director John Caird.
Every once in a while Los Angeles Opera presents an important recital in the three thousand seat Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
This third revival of Laurent Pelly's production of Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore needed a bit of a pep up to get moving but once it had been given a shot of 'medicinal' tincture things spiced up nicely.
Founded in 1996, Samling describes itself as a charity which 'inspires musical excellence in young people'.
The good news is that you don't have to go all the way to Pesaro for great Rossini.
Maître à danser: William Christie and Les Arts Florissants at the Barbican, London, presented a defining moment in Rameau performance practice, choreographed with a team of dancers.
The most memorable thing (and definitely not in a good way) about this performance of Le Nozze di Figaro at the Serbian National Theatre in Belgrade was the self-serving, infantile, offensive and just plain wrong production by celebrated Serbian theatre director Jagoš Marković.
Should looks matter when casting the role of the iconic temptress for HD simulcast?
Maurice Greene (1696-1755) had a highly successful musical career. Organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, a position to which he was elected when he was just 22 years-old, he later became organist of the Chapel Royal, Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge and, from 1735, Master of the King's Music.
Yet another Tosca is hardly exciting news, if news at all. The current five performances have come just two years after SFO alternated divas Angela Gheorghiu and Patricia Racette in the title role.
What an enjoyable opportunity to encounter Dvořák's sixth opera, Šelma Sedlák¸or The Cunning Peasant!
Whether biblical parable or mythological moralising, it's all the same really: human hubris, humility, sacrifice and redemption.
Opera Rara brought a rare performance of Donizetti's first opera for the Paris Opera to the Royal Festival Hall on 4 November 2014, following recording sessions for the opera.
Bass baritone, Luca Pisaroni, known to opera lovers throughout the world for his excellence in Mozart roles, offered San Diego vocal aficionados a double treat on October 28th: his mellifluous voice, and a recital of German songs.
Jonathan Miller's production of La bohème for ENO, shared with Cincinnati Opera, sits uneasily, at least as revived by Natascha Metherell, between comedy and tragedy.
Any Florian Boesch and Malcolm Martineau performance is superb, but this Wigmore Hall recital surprised, too. Boesch's Schubert is wonderful, but this time, it was his Liszt and Strauss songs which stood out. This year at the Wigmore Hall, we've heard a lot of Liszt and a lot of Richard Strauss everywhere, establishing high standards, but this was special.
The weather was auspicious for Wexford Festival Opera's first-night firework display — mild, clear and calm. But, as the rainbow rockets exploded over the River Slaney, even bigger bangs were being made down at the quayside.
The cast of supporting roles was especially strong in the company's new production of Mozart's matchless masterpiece
The company uncorks its 40th Anniversary season with a visually and musically satisfying production of Johann Strauss Jr.'s farcical operetta
Donizetti's opera comique La Fille du regiment returned to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, for its third revival.
Laurent Pelly's 2007 production is now in the hands of revival director Christian Räth, who also directed the 2012 revival. The production was created for Natalie Dessay and Juan Diego Florez, but since 2012 the title role has been sung by the Italian lyric soprano Patrizia Ciofi (see Claire Seymour's review of the 2012 revival). For this revival Ciofi was joined by Florez (with two performances later in the run being sung by Frederic Antoun). Also returning to the role as Hortensius was Donald Maxwell and conductor Yves Abel was also on the podium for the 2012 revival. With so many returning performers, it is inevitable that the newcomers to their roles would be the focus of attention: Pietro Spagnoli sang Sulpice and Ewa Podles was the Marquise de Berkenfeld. But the eyes and ears of many in the audience were on Dame Kiri te Kanawa in the speaking role of the Duchesse de Crackentorp.
The New Zealand soprano celebrates her 70th birthday during the present run, and her assumption of the role of the Duchesse de Crackentorp represents her first appearance at Covent Garden since the 1996/97 season. At Covent Garden the role of the Duchesse de Crackentorp has previously been played by Dawn French and by Anne Widdicombe, but when Laurent Pelly's production has appeared elsewhere then the Duchess has been played by both Kiri te Kanawa and Montserrat Caballe.
Ciofi made a charming Marie, she has the right combination of gamine charm and chutzpah which Pelly's conception of the role requires. Physically Ciofi's performance was almost hyper-active, reflecting the current conception of the production, and she is certainly a gifted comic. Natalie Dessay's physical comedy in the role must have been a difficult act to follow, but Ciofi makes it her own. Vocally Ciofi has quite a soft grained lyric voice, which meant that the more poignant moments (such as her lovely act 2 aria) worked very well. There was plenty of fluent passagework too, and Ciofi has the gift of being able to imbue this with charm as well, she made the vocal fire-works part of the character. Her acuti sometimes seemed a little pressed and with a little too much vibrato for my taste, but she has been ill and missed part of the dress rehearsal, so it is unfair to judge.
Juan Diego Florez remains in fine form, his voice perhaps a little heavier and more solid than when he first sang the role, but he is still technically superb. Despite the lure of the famous act 1 solo with the repeated top C's, it was his two slower arias which stick in the memory. Here Florez had a knack of slowing time, and causing the busy activity to stop. He can caress and shape a phrase without it being made to feel self-indulgent, and in these solo moments was deservedly the entire focus of attention. The role of Tonio still fits Florez stage persona well, the little-boy lost look still coming over charmingly.
Pietro Spagnoli was a delight as Sulpice with good comic timing combined with a neat way with Donizetti's vocal line. His act one solo isn't the best number in the opera, but Spagnoli charmed and made a fine contribution to the act two trio with Ciofi and Florez. More than that, he created a warm and very funny character.
Ewa Podles is clearly a gifted comic actress, as Marquise de Berkenfeld she used her voice to fine comic effect particularly the astounding lower register. Both vocally and in spoken dialogue she made the comedy work and set up a nice double act with Donald Maxwell's Hortensius. Podles might now have a noticeable break in her voice, but her technique is still in fine form and there was as much to admire vocally as dramatically.
Kiri te Kanawa seemed less at ease with the comic business required, but the role was extended for her and we got to hear her performing an aria from Puccini's Edgar which was finely done, albeit rather a strange choice in the context. The smaller roles were well taken with Bryan Secombe as the Corporal, Luke Price as a peasant and Jean-Pierre Blanchard as the Notary.
Now directed by Christian Räth , the production seems to have become almost a caricature of itself, all stylised movement, comic business and hardly any naturalism. Was Pelly's production like this when new? I'd don't remember it as such, but might be wrong. There is a danger, I think, of this becoming a comic caricature of a production. Most worryingly, the physical comedy seemed to be in danger of being an end in itself, rather than arising out of the music.
The orchestra was in the capable hands of Yves Abel. He and the orchestra provided fine accompaniments to the arias, but the overture did rather take a long time to catch fire.
This is the production's third revival, that's a total of four runs since 2007 which is quite a lot of exposure. It would make an interesting re-boot of the piece if, say, it was given in English with Anglophone actors performing the dialogue (at the moment we have a variety of nationalities performing in French), or perhaps investigate the Italian version which Donizetti himself created in 1840 (this lacks the famous top C's of the tenor Ah mes amies, but the replacement aria is not without difficulty). I am reluctant to suggest that such a popular production be given a rest but perhaps something of a re-think is certainly in order.

About The Owner
I am a local from corpus who loves the island life and the water. I live to fish and enjoy the outdoors. I am a local Fireman and have 2 great kids and 2 not so great dogs at times......
The Owner purchased this condo in 2011
Why The Owner chose North Padre Island
I grew up in corpus and fishing the waters in the area. I must say we have the greatest fishing within a thousand miles and one of the only beaches left which u can just drivel your vehicle up to the beach and enjoy the priceless beauty of the ocean. I enjoy making memories here, swimming in the pool, enjoying the steamy hot tub, making some awsome steaks on the grill. Watching movies and having friends over to have a few drinks....

Top 20 on Screen A
These are the leaders on my screen A. The ones marked with blue arrows were SPMM picks during the past one year or so.
The recent rally from October has done 2000+ points on the Sensex and appears to be topping out now. Above is a weekly plot.
Below is the sector performance on my ABC screens. I've changed the base dates - now the A screen tracks one year performance, the B tracks 6 months and the C tracks 3 months.

One Month Performance
After a correction which started in early September, the markets bottomed out around 17th October and we saw another rally. This is a look at the sector performance with the base date at 17th October. Metals and Oil n Gas have under performed. The real estate sector is going through a strong bounce. Banks and Capital Goods have out performed the others. Autos and Health care have done better than FMCG and IT.
Saturday, November 15, 2014
There are nine sectors which I track regularly. Above is a relative strength plot of various sectors. It shows how the sectors are performing relative to the benchmark Sensex. Currently, autos and banks and FMCG are outperforming. The key to the colors is like:
Auto (A) - Red
Banks (B) - Green
Capital Goods (CG) - Violet
FMCG - Cyan
Health Care (HC) - Yellow
IT - White
Metals (M) - Blue
Oil and Gas (OG) - Black
Real Estate (RE) - Orange

September Picks
In the last week of September, I had these stock picks. Sonata is now at 144 (+15%). Bharat Forge and Polaris were stopped out. GPPL is now at 172 (+6%), Sundaram Fastners is at 185 (+25.8%) and Gabriel is at 96 (+18.5%).
Friday, November 7, 2014
Sector Performance
This is the sector performance for the week ending today. This week was a truncated week with 2 holidays so I guess nothing has happened much as the benchmark Sensex has remained unchanged. Two sectors stand out - Health Care gaining +3.7% and Real Estate +5.7%.

Newly built, single-family homes in the U.S. finally are getting smaller, a sign that a long-awaited shift of builders to slightly smaller, more affordable homes likely has started. Commerce Department data shows the median size of a single-family home built in the third quarter was 2,414 square feet, down 2.3% from the second quarter measure of 2,472. The third-quarter figure is the lowest since 2012's fourth quarter, and it is the second consecutive quarterly decline following a 0.2% drop in this year's second quarter. And early signs are emerging that entry-level buyers are coming back. Construction starts for single-family homes increased by 4.2% from a year earlier. The most likely source for that greater volume of starts is entry-level buyers. The median new-home size now stands 3% below its recent high of 2,491 square feet in the third quarter of 2013.

NCAA Football News
Federal Judge Rules Against NCAA in O'Bannon Trial
College athletes earned a major victory in the courtroom when a federal judge decided the NCAA cannot prohibit payment to players.
Steve Berkowitz of USA Today provides the details:
U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken, in a 99-page ruling in favor of a group of plaintiffs led by former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon, issued an injunction that will prevent the NCAA "from enforcing any rules or bylaws that would prohibit its member schools and conferences from offering their FBS football or Division I basketball recruits a limited share of the revenues generated from the use of their names, images, and likenesses in addition to a full grant-in-aid."
You can view the entire decision online, courtesy of USA Today. The plaintiff's case, led by Ed O'Bannon, argued that players should be paid when their likeness is used, whether that includes video games, jersey sales or other uses.
The NCAA released a statement after the decision:
"We disagree with the Court's decision that NCAA rules violate antitrust laws. We note that the Court's decision sets limits on compensation, but are reviewing the full decision and will provide further comment later. As evidenced by yesterday's Board of Directors action, the NCAA is committed to fully supporting student-athletes."
– NCAA Chief Legal Officer Donald Remy
CBS Sports' Jon Solomon quotes the judge on her ruling that says the NCAA is prohibited from "enforcing any rules to prevent its member schools and conferences from offering to deposit a limited share of licensing revenue in trust for their FBS football and Division I basketball recruits, payable when they leave school or their eligibility expires."
In this scenario, the players could receive payment after their time at school comes to an end, whether that is due to graduation or other reasons.
Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports notes there will likely be appeals to counter the decision by Wilken:
However, Randy Getlin of Yahoo Sports agrees that this is an important moment that will alter college athletics:
This decision comes just one day after the NCAA announced it would give more power to its five richest conferences. According to The Associated Press, the NCAA Board of Directors voted 16-2 to give the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC the ability to write some of their own rules.
As ESPN's Jeff Goodman points out, this will cause the NCAA to lose even more power going forward:
If this ruling stands, it becomes the first step toward paying college athletes. This has long been a point of contention regarding the NCAA, with some players even attempting to form unions.

School Choice Saves, School Choice Sells
Harrisburg is atwitter this morning as the Senate Education Committee is voting on school choice legislation. Let's quickly rebut three myths that are circulating:
- School choice saves money. It's already saving us $4 billion in Pennsylvania. More choice would save more.
- School choice saves lives. Right now, nearly 82,000 students are trapped in schools that are not only failing them academically but also played host to more than 4,500 acts of violence in 2009-2010. School choice throws them a lifeline.
- If saving money and saving lives isn't enough for you, school choice is indeed popular. Half of Pennsylvanians support vouchers, and support only increases the bigger the program gets.

text: Legendary TV presenter and long term supporter of The Prostate Cancer Charity, Andi Peters, took part in a celebrity version of ITV 1's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? in an effort to raise vital funds for the Charity. He was seated beside his former Live And Kicking co-presenter, Emma Forbes, who was supporting her chosen charity, Wellbeing of Women, in the episode which was screened last night. The pair battled through the questions, and engaged in some friendly banter about which football team Christiano Ronaldo had recently transferred to (the answer was Real Madrid by the way). Andi and Emma were unable to hide their dismay when they could not work out which country had experienced the Peasants Revolt of 1382. Their 'phone a friend' was unable to come up with an answer either, much to Andi's amusement! They finally gambled on the answer of 'Britain' and were absolutely correct, much to their relief. Following a tense final, Andi and Emma managed to raise an impressive £20,000, which will be divided between both charities. As well as raising funds for The Prostate Cancer Charity, Andi was also given the opportunity to speak about his reasons behind wanting to raise awareness of the disease, including the fact that African Caribbean men are three times* more likely to develop prostate cancer than white men. The Charity would like to say a huge thank you and well done to both Andi and Emma. *Things have changed since this was published. Find out more.

Cloud silos: the problem they forgot to mention
It is always good to cover new ground. In our recent Regcast, Workload Placement in a Hybrid World, we dealt for the first time (but almost certainly not the last) with the concept of legacy cloud applications. On the face of it, calling a cloud service legacy seems like a rush to judgement. Usually we get through the buzzwords …
Fundamental Problem
The main problem with "The Cloud" is that its just a sales tag and has no well-defined, common structure within the technical world of IT.
I've seen piss-poor, VM set ups that were labelled as "Clouds" that didn't even come close.
Re: Fundamental Problem
Sales people are always fun to troll when they come out with its on the cloud, not only do they not normally know anything important about the product they are selling they don't seem to know what most people expect a cloud to be (For me an application that runs on more than one machine in more than one data centre, otherwise at best its just VPS with HA. My view might be to harsh, but thats my expectations)
Re: Fundamental Problem
not harsh just technically correct.
Re: Fundamental Problem
>not harsh just technically correct.
The best kind of correct!
Cloud Latency Hit...?
It sure is an attractive idea to outsource menial daily maintenance and overall worry to Cloud providers. But I rarely glimpse any insight into the impact of latency? Can someone offer some real-world enlightenment? Do all companies take at least one critical app, port it to the cloud, and then do benchmarking before migrating?
For what it's worth ...
... I've accepted 7 contracts in the last 18 months pulling corporations out of the clouds. It's actually quite lucrative :-)
Re: For what it's worth ...
Shhh! So should we not be big-upping the cloud then?

Brookline seeks help in its war on milfoil
Now the town is reaching out to the public for help.
"We had a really, really good couple of years," said Kristen Austin, secretary for the Brookline Conservation Commission. "But with the lack of volunteers, if we have a Lake Host Program at all this year we'll be lucky."
The Lake Host Program, funded by the New Hampshire Lakes Association, posts folks at boat ramps around the state to ensure that their vessels aren't carrying any milfoil or other exotic plants that can quickly invade a body of water, killing off native species and altering the habitat of the lake.
"Exotic aquatic plant infestations in lakes and ponds are undesirable because they make recreation in and on the water dangerous and unpleasant, disrupt the ecological balance of these water bodies, reduce shoreline property values, and are difficult and expensive to control," Austin said.
The lake hosts, as they're called, are trained to identify exotic plants, which they bag and tag and send to laboratories to identify. By knowing what's growing in New Hampshire's lakes, programs to eradicate invasive species can be implemented. Brookline will be actively treating the milfoil problem this year, said Austin, but what the program needs right now is a leader who will volunteer to take over the management of the program.
"We had a group that was really, really gung ho, but lives changed and it fell off the side of the mountain," said Austin. "We really need someone to come and run the program."
The management position is unpaid, although there are stipends paid to the lake hosts who do the sampling, said Austin. So ultimately, the manager position would need to be someone with a strong sense of community service and desire to help the environment.
The position requires a lot of paperwork and documentation, sending samples to the lab and making sure the lake hosts are following instructions.
This year is really important for the Lake Host Program because the dry season caused a major setback in milfoil eradication last year.
"The weather just created the perfect environment for the milfoil to spread, so even though we treated it, we're still back to where we were when we started the program three years ago," said Austin. "Our lake is being overrun with milfoil."
For more information, contact Kristen Austin 673-8855, ext. 216. She can also be reached at email@example.com.

By the numbers
0 — Number of fatal shark strikes in S.C. since 2000.
0-5 — Number of shark "attacks" or bites in S.C. each year since 2000.
40 — Approximate number of shark species native to South Carolina waters.
1883 — Last reported fatality from a shark in S.C..
S.C. Dept. of Natural Resources, Florida Museum of Natural History
FOLLY BEACH — It wasn't an attack: The big shark that raised alarm here Sunday apparently just tangled in the leash of a young surfer who leapt from his board.
That's what observers said happened when a large shark said to be a bull cut short a surfing contest at the Washout about 5:30 p.m. That tallies with what state biologists know about the species.
The shark didn't take a bite out of the board; it tore the leash. A pre-teen on the board freed himself from the leash and swam to shore.
And no, a report that anglers were chumming the waters near the tournament apparently isn't accurate. The chumming incident was observed near swimmers at Sullivan's Island.
The contest incident "was an encounter rather than an attack. A close call, that's what it was," said Nancy Hussey, Eastern Surfing Association district director who was running the tournament. Hussey plans to finish the postponed tournament in early September.
Sharks are in coastal waters all the time; murky, hard-to-see conditions for man and beast make occasional encounters inevitable. Charleston County Park and Recreation lifeguards will call in swimmers a few times a year as a precaution when fins are sighted, said Sarah Reynolds, of the commission.
The surfing tournament had been delayed for a half-hour that morning as a precaution after fins were spotted in the surf, Hussey said.
Mel Bell, S.C. Department of Natural Resources fisheries management director, said incidents here normally are nips at a leg by a shark momentarily mistaking a swimmer for prey; he couldn't recall an incident like what happened Sunday.
"It's a scary episode, but it obviously wasn't an aggressive attack. It was a random encounter with an animal," Bell said.
"The sharks are out there. You have to be vigilant. It's the Atlantic Ocean," Hussey said. But "we have more problems with jellyfish than anything else."
As for chumming — tossing hunks of bloody bait or meat into the water to attract sharks — it's not illegal unless local laws prohibit it, said Capt. Robert McCullough of the DNR. But "You've got to be careful about where you go, what you do. Anywhere people are going to be in the water — use common sense."
