New details about the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 update support rumors that surfaced earlier this week and which indicated that Samsung is preparing Android 4.3 Jelly Bean for the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 for arrival in the near future.
Earlier this week, we heard that Samsung was in the process of getting Android 4.3 Jelly Bean updates ready for the Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Note 2, two devices that were rumored to have skipped Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. These rumors suggest that the Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update, with Galaxy Note 3 features on board, is slated for late November or December while the Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 update is rumored for release in October.
Read: Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Update with Note 3 Features Release Rumored.
Samsung hasn't confirmed Android 4.3 updates for these two devices but the company did take the stage earlier this month and suggest that the Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S4 would be getting updates in October that would bring them compatibility with the Galaxy Gear accessory. Because Android 4.3 has Bluetooth LE support and the Galaxy Gear is a Bluetooth device, it was assumed that the company was talking about Android 4.3.
New details support these rumors as French carrier SFR suggests that it will be pushing out Android 4.3 updates for the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 in the coming weeks. According to a new chart that the carrier presented today, the Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 update is slated for November or December while the Galaxy Note 2 update is also thought to be coming out in November and December.
This fits in perfectly with what we've heard. Typically, carriers are a little behind the curve when it comes to updates, something that explains the Galaxy S3 update being pushed into November, and not October. The Galaxy Note 2 timing appears to be spot on with the rumors.
SFR's plans are subject to change, and we've seen that happen before. However, the carrier has also been spot on with its timing in the past so it could be that it keeps its word with these two updates. Whatever the case may be, it's looking like the updates will arrive in 2013. That may not be the case for some American carriers though as they are notorious slow at pushing out major Android updates.
The Android 4.3 update for the Galaxy S3 will be its first major Android update since Android 4.1 arrived back in September. In the interim, the device received an update up to Android 4.1.2 that brought several premium features from the Galaxy Note 2.
As for the Galaxy Note 2, this will be the device's biggest update since it arrived on shelves last year as the device has been toiling on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, an extremely old version of the software.

Architecture for Cross-Organizational Business Processes
Hoffner, Yigal and Ludwig, Heiko and Gülcü, Ceki and Grefen, Paul (2000) Architecture for Cross-Organizational Business Processes. In: Second International Workshop on Advanced Issues of E-Commerce and Web-Based Information Systems, WECWIS, 8-9 June 2000, Milpitas, California, USA (pp. pp. 2-11).

Abstract: | Efficient means of electronic interaction are an essential requirement for the integration of different companies' business processes along the value chain. Until recently, this interaction relied on expensive, complex and inflexible solutions, mostly based on EDI or some proprietary means. The high set-up costs and time associated with this type of infrastructure prohibits the dynamic forging of business partnerships, which is of utmost importance to the services industry. The CrossFlow architecture supports the dynamic establishment and enactment of a business relationship between two organizations, based on a contract that specifies this relationship. This is achieved by creating an electronic market where advertising and searching for compatible business partners takes place. This is further enhanced by automating the set-up of the contract enactment and supervision infrastructure, and by connecting them together to allow the business processes of the partners to cross their organizational boundaries. |

Plaza Sweet: Perhaps the next shopping plaza in town to watch is Scottsdale Promenade, on Shea Boulevard, just off Scottsdale Road at 70th Street.
A few years ago, this area was mostly vacant retail space.

And the good eating is about to pick up: Such Is Life is ready to open a second Mexican restaurant here.
The intersection of Scottsdale and Shea is already starting to look like a motorist's nightmare. If Scottsdale Promenade ever becomes a destination point, these may seem like the good old days.

Stanley Cup: Boston Bruins' Tuukka Rask heroics help tie series against Blackhawks
Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask was simply spectacular, holding off the Blackhawks as they came in wave after wave in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup.
CHICAGO—After Game 1, Boston goalie Tuukka Rask basically said the Bruins gave away a victory.
By the time Game 2 was over, the same could be said of the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Stanley Cup Final is knotted at a game apiece thanks to Boston's 2-1 overtime win Saturday night with Game 3 Monday night in Boston. And there may be no bigger a reason for the tie than the goaltending of Rask.
He was simply spectacular, holding off the Blackhawks as they came in wave after wave in the first period, emerging with only a one-goal lead.
"We definitely were in survival mode there for a bit. It looked like they had more guys out there than we did," said Rask. "They were bouncing on every single puck in front of net, had a lot of chances. We definitely played pretty bad.
"But, you know, it was good that we were only down by one and regrouped after that."
The Blackhawks—who had a goal called back due to a quick whistle—came to regret not scoring more in the first. Midway through the second, the Bruins found their legs through some line juggling. Chris Kelly tied it late in the second. Daniel Paille won it in overtime.
"When you score a goal and are playing the way we were playing in the first, you need to find a way to sustain that and we didn't quite do that," said Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews. "I think we could have brought a little more physical play, but we were moving our feet.
"We were the aggressors early on in the game, and their physical play didn't really affect us too much. We just let them play their game and make the plays they wanted midway through the game and toward the end"
But the fist period, when it was Rask against the Blackhawks, may well have been Rask's best of the playoffs even though he allowed a goal.
"Every goal you let in you have a chance to save," said Rask. "I'm not going to blame myself for that. I think there were three or four saves before that goal. I couldn't find that puck until the last second.
"But, you know, I mean, they had 19 shots, and one goes by you. I mean, it happens sometimes."
Bruins coach Claude Julien said his team—thankful their goalie kept them in the game—responded to Rask's efforts in limiting Chicago's chances the rest of the way.
"I think we gave them four shots in the second, four shots in the third, maybe two or three in the overtime," said Julien. "We at least gave him a little bit of an opportunity to catch his breath again.
"That first period, like I said, was extremely hard for him. But thankfully our guys rewarded him with that effort by being a lot better in front of him for the rest of the game."
•Teams winning Game 2 of the Final have gone on to win the Stanley Cup in 55 of 73 years since the best-of-seven format began in 1939 (75.3%), including eight of the past 10 seasons.
•This marks the first split in the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final since 2004, when Calgary won the first game on the road and Tampa Bay came back to win Game 2. The Lightning eventually won that series in seven games.
•For the second consecutive year, Games 1 and 2 of the Stanley Cup Final have been decided in extra time.
•The Bruins snapped the Blackhawks' six-game home winning streak in improving to 6-3 away from TD Garden in the 2013 playoffs. Boston is the only club with a winning road-record this post-season, outscoring opponents 29-18.
•The Bruins are 10-2 in their last 12 games (since Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals), with both losses coming in overtime. They have outscored opponents, 38-21, in that span.
•Boston's victory broke a nine-game winning streak by home clubs in overtime games this post-season. Overall, home clubs are 19-7 (.731) in games decided in extra time.
•For the second time in as many games in the 2013 Stanley Cup Final, the winning club did not lead at any point in the game.
•The Bruins posted their League-leading fifth victory after surrendering the first goal of the game (5-2). Chicago fell to 9-3 when scoring first.
•The Blackhawks' Patrick Sharp tallied his ninth goal of the playoffs, tying him with the Bruins' David Krejci for the overall lead.
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville: "I thought we slowed ourselves down. I don't think we got the puck behind them. I think we were in front of them too much. I think that played into their hands."
Bruins coach Claude Julien: "We need to battle. We need to win those battles, come up with the puck, make those plays. That puck ended up in front and (Chris) Kelly went in there and banged at it."

Unfortunately for them, the aftermath of the end of the previous semester is still lingering...----!The ''Series/{{Community}}'' episode "Anthropology 101" provides examples of:* ActorAllusion: Troy's {{Spider-Man}} pajamas and Pierce's Batman comment are references to Glover wanting to try out for the role in the next movie.* AllMenArePerverts: The central message of ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' is apparently that "men are monsters who crave young flesh."* ArmorPiercingSlap: Annie* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: The group quickly forgot about Britta and started talking about ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'', but it can be construed as wanting to avoid talking about the subject.* AxCrazy: An anthropology professor who drinks her own urine, drugs one student on the first day and tries to kill another on the second.* BerserkButton: Prof. Bauer didn't like it when Jeff interrupted her class for his own reasons.-->'''Bauer''': Last time I let you speak I got what the Maku-Maku called "dirt-roaded".-->'''Chang''': Using it!* Creator/BettyWhite: Wonderful as always.* BigDamnKiss: Britta and Jeff subvert this.* TheCameo:** DC Pierson, shows up while Abed brings the wedding people. He previously worked with Glover on WebVideo/DerrickComedy.* ContinuityNod: The anthropology rap at the end.* DevelopmentGag: The George Clooney impersonator is a reference to a proposed season one script involving Britta dating a similar impersonator (said plot eventually evolved into "[[Recap/CommunityS2E18CustodyLawAndEasternEuropeanDiplomacy Custody Law and Eastern European Diplomacy]]").* EscalatingWar: The DVD commentary refers to the conflict between Jeff and Britta as a "staring contest of love."* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Prof. Bauer shooting Starburns with a blowgun.* EyeScream: The commentary jokes that Betty White kept going for Star-Burns's eyes with the dart.* FemaleFelineMaleMutt-->'''Pierce:''' Troy thinks all dogs are boys and all cats are girls.\\'''Troy:''' There's no way to disprove that! Have you ever seen a cat penis?* FourthDateMarriage: Abed attempts to invoke this trope.* FreezeFrameBonus - The chalkboard in Bauer's class lists Dean Pelton as a "knucklewalker".* GenreSavvy: Jeff correctly deduces that the task Professor Bauer had set (Identify which of the tools in the box was most important to humanity's survival) is actually a trick question...** WrongGenreSavvy: ...just not that the "trick" isn't a metaphorical answer, but to combine the tools into a combination bow[=/=]staff[=/=]strangler.* GollumMadeMeDoIt: Chang has an argument with himself "Gollum"-style over whether to either join or destroy the study group at the end of the episode.* HeelRealization: Jeff is clearly left feeling rather shaken by Abed's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.* HypocriticalHumor:** Whilst hyping up the "Fresh Start" dance & talking about putting the last year behind them and starting anew, Dean Pelton brings up Britta's public confession of love at the end of the prior school year.** Starburns, in an attempt to get people to see him as more than his wacky sideburns, has added a top hat to his ensemble.** Upon learning that Troy has been posting every stupid thing he says to a Twitter feed, Pierce angrily points out that Troy himself says some pretty stupid things -- such as his belief that there are only boy dogs and girl cats. See FemaleFelineMaleMutt.* IKEAWeaponry: The professor uses the tools for the anthropology assignment to make a crossbow/strangling weapon.* JustFriends: Resolution to the kiss in [[Recap/CommunityS1E25PascalsTriangleRevisited the first season finale]].* LargeHam: In-universe example. Much to Jeff's annoyance, Britta plays up being the rejected woman in public.-->'''Jeff:''' Britta, I know you're excited to finally be popular with women, but don't get too high on your own drama.\\'''Britta:''' '''HIGH on my OWN duh-RAMA?!'''* LaserGuidedKarma:** Jeff suggests the believed reaction to Britta's declaration of love in the first season finale is karma for Britta embarrassing him by publically putting him on the spot rather than do it in privately. Britta suggests the same thing in regards to Jeff just walking away, after she's started playing up the wounded woman role.** Annie punching Jeff for kissing her after sleeping with Britta. And really, pretty much everything he'd done following Britta's public confession of love to that point.* MetaGuy: Discussed by Shirley.-->'''Shirley:''' I don't understand. Is this you being "meta"?* NeverMessWithGranny: Starburns gets a blowdart to the face after making a quip in class. Also, Jeff's "respect" speech [[spoiler:almost gets him killed by a combination crossbow/staff/strangler.]]* OhCrap:** Jeff, after he realises that Annie hasn't taken in what they had previously agreed about their kiss being a mistake.** Jeff again, right after his speech about how respect is the tool humanity needs the most to survive. * TheOner: The first two shots of the episode--the first scrolls right through a long constructed set of the group's individual bedrooms, while the second shows the Greendale campus. The former was actually cheated, though; seven consecutive bedrooms were too long for one stage, so it was split into two and the shots were digitally merged.* OpeningShoutOut: In one shot Britta has a cootie-catcher.* ThePowerOfFriendship: [[DefiedTrope ...nope.]] Jeff (wrongly) believes that respect is the strongest weapon man can have, rather than the tools in the box. Professor Bauer cobbles together a weapon made of all nine of them combined and attacks Jeff. --> "I'll use this to attack you and you can use respect to defend yourself."* RefugeInAudacity: Professor Bauer, twice.** Sedating a student with a blow dart.** Later [[spoiler:shooting Jeff with a crossbow and trying to strangle him]].* RightNowMontage: Of the various study group members and their morning routine* SadistTeacher: In the span of three classes, Professor Bauer shoots Starburns with a blowdart & [[spoiler:tries to strangle Jeff]].* SaltAndPepper: Pierce and Troy.* ShippingBedDeath: In-universe--Abed seems to be trying to invoke this when he goads Jeff and Britta into getting engaged.* ShirtlessScene: Jeff gets one during the [[RightNowMontage opening scene montage]].* ShoutOut: The end scene where Chang [[TalkingToThemself argues with himself in two different personas]] after hours in the library about the group, ''ŕ la'' Gollum from ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings: The Two Towers'' movie, finishing with [[EvilLaugh evil laughter]].* SickeninglySweethearts: An odd example. [[spoiler:Jeff begins acting this way to Britta so that the school stops hating him.]] Then they get into a bizarre competition of who can be the most nauseatingly romantic.* {{Subject101}}: Anthropology 101* TakeThat:** Troy's Twitter account is one to BleepMyDadSays.** And one to ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', claiming its [[AnAesop aesop]] to be AllMenArePerverts.* ThisIsReality: See WhatTheHellHero.* TruthTellingSession* WhatTheHellHero:** Abed's response to Jeff when, after the shitstorm caused by Jeff sleeping with Britta and kissing Annie being revealed, he mocks Abed for not knowing the difference between reality and TV.-->'''Abed:''' I can tell life from TV, Jeff. TV makes sense. It has logic, structure, rules. And likable leading men. [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech In life, we have this. We have you.]]** Earlier, Annie also makes her feelings known, but [[ArmorPiercingSlap less verbally]].** And Troy gets one for secretly recording every stupid thing Pierce says to a Twitter feed called "Old White Man Says" (which, although Pierce probably deserves it to some degree, is still something of a dick move).** Frankly, that whole scene is nothing but everyone calling everyone else out.* YouFailBiologyForever: While the song is an EarWorm there are two minor mistakes when the last 's' is dropped from Primates and Sapiens.* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: While Jeff is already demonstrating guilt, Starburns' approval of his actions concerning Annie and Britta really seems to convince him he was in the wrong.----

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will hold a public hearing Feb. 28 on the agency's proposal to retain the nation's air quality standards for carbon monoxide (CO) and to take steps to gather additional data through more focused monitoring. According to EPA, the science shows that the current standards will protect people, especially those susceptible to health problems associated with breathing CO from the outdoor air. CO can cause harmful health effects by reducing oxygen delivery to the body's organs (such as the heart and brain) and tissues. At extremely high levels, CO can cause death.
WHAT: Public hearing on proposed carbon monoxide standards
WHEN: Monday, Feb. 28, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST
EPA's Potomac Yard Conference Center
First Floor Conference Center South (S-1204-06)
2777 Crystal Dr.
Arlington, Va.
The public may register in person on the day of the hearing. EPA also will accept written comments on the proposed standards until April 12, 2011.
More information and instructions for submitting written comments.

Comments about Palram Snap & Grow Nature Auto Vent Kit:
put together a 8 x 12 greenhouse and still can't get these in place. Though the pictures says this is for and is supposed to show placement in a Snap n Grow greenhouse, my vents look nothing like this. Hope I can figure out the mounting, really want these in there.

Comments about Palram Snap & Grow Nature Auto Vent Kit:
The auto vent works well and is easy to install. The greenhouse itself was easy to assemble and set up. It provides plenty of room for our tropical plants (keep around our pool during the summer). One issue to be aware of...it doesn't provide tight seals around the plastic panes nor do the doors seal well. We live in Southeast Virginia. While our winter temperatures normally don't go below the mid 20s, we do get occasional temperatures in the teens. Our old greenhouse had two 1500-watt room heaters that kept the temperature no lower than 50 degrees. This unit required a third to supplement heating on temperatures below 25 degrees. I plan on contacting the manufacturer to see if caulking around all the panes would help with efficiently heating the structure. The auto vent works well.

Ontario Youth Cup Road Series
Follow the Ontario Youth Cup conversation on twitter at #ontarioyouthcup |
2015 Youth Cup Schedule Coming Soon!
Bridging the Gap
A gap in youth cycling opportunities was identified two years ago. To address this issue the OCA created a brand new road series that allows youth between the ages 9-16 to experience the speed and thrills of road racing. The series focuses on participation and fun. The series continued to grow in 2009 with more youth riders and higher quality events around the Province. The series is driven at the grass roots support from racers, parents, clubs and officials.
Youth Skills Challenge
Open to youth aged 9 – 16 as of Dec. 31, 2015
CADET U17 Boy/Girl | 15-16 | 1999-2000 | 25-30KM | 2 – 4 KM |
MINIME U15 Boy/Girl | 13-14 | 2001-2002 | 20-25KM | 2 – 4 KM |
PEEWEE U13 Boy/Girl | 11-12 | 2003-2004 | 10-15KM | 1 – 2 KM |
SQUIRT Boy/Girl | 9-10 | 2005-2006 | 5-10KM | 1- 2 KM |
* Age and boy/girl categories may be combined depending on field size.
** The distances are suggested and may be adapted to individual courses.
The participants shall possess an OCA citizen permit.
Series Format
Youth Cup – Stage race for youth featuring a time trial and road race. Placing is based on combined points from the TT and road race for a general classification (GC) result. These races will be awarded maximum series points. In the event that the points are tied the winner will be determined by who has the higher result in the road race.
Series Points per Race
Placing | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th | 10th | 11th | 12th | 13th | 14th | 15th |
Youth Cup | 25 | 20 | 16 | 13 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
Awards Series
The series winner in each age group will be mailed an engraved plaque. Any ties will be decided at the series finale.
As is usual in other cycling sports the final race or a designated "championship" race determines the champion in each age group. This season the "Championship" race is the CHCH Youth Tour September 6th.
Club Challenge
Points earned by youth racers count towards the OCA Club Challenge. Clubs wishing to be the top road team in Ontario are strongly recommended to encourage youth racing.
The wearing of an approved helmet is mandatory. However, aero helmets are not permitted. Cycling gloves are strongly recommended. The participants are encouraged to ride on a road-racing bicycle however other suitable bicycles may be utilized. No aero bars are permitted. All equipment must be in good repair, have adequate tires and operating brakes.
Gear restrictions are currently in place for the Cadet Category, however all racers and parents are encouraged to learn about gear restrictions and adapt bicycles used by riders under the age of 19 to meet the requirements. Gear restrictions are in place at regional and Ontario Cup road races. Youth series gear restrictions are under review. Click here for more info on gear restrictions.

One of the reasons Rahman claims he was given a hard time, and eventually fired, is that he didn't drink alcohol and so couldn't taste wine — which has to be the first time someone has been canned for not drinking on the job.

READ MORE »Our new boyfriend, Zeppelin-loving new Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain, seems to be keeping his cool remarkably well, despite his firm's announcement yesterday that it was writing down $14.6 billion and lost nearly $10 billion, which caused its stock to drop 10 percent and fueled the growing perception that the economy is, or is about to be, in the shitter. But why shouldn't he be calm? After all, "I didn't cause this problem," he told the Journal today. But he does plan to solve it: by expanding international operations, and adopting some of the hierarchical strategies of his former employer, Goldman Sachs. Thain's hired Noel Donahue to run risk management and hopes to hire former Goldman co-head of sales and trading Tom Montag (no relation to Heidi). "The problem is not a zero, but it is for the most part behind us," Thain told the Journal. Can Thain, with his Clark Kent good looks and cool-headed fixer attitude, transform into Superman, steer Merrill back on course, and save us all? We kind of think maybe. Oh, and there's good news for media Chicken Littles, too: The Journal didn't bring up the poop incident, which we take to mean that Rupert Murdoch hasn't wrapped his soft hands around their editorial coverage just yet.

Okay. We love the Post. We really do. And not even just the ironic way we "loved" it yesterday when a homeless person in a wheelchair was masturbating on the subway while we were on our way to work, and his shoe fell off and nobody on the train even noticed. Like, we actually look forward to the Post every day. But we have to say, there's something a little demented about its Giants coverage. At the beginning of the week, the tabloid devoted its entire cover to a Jessica Simpson look-alike, who they claim distracted Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo into losing Sunday's game (Romo, for those of you lucky enough not to know, is dating the real Simpson and she's been credited with giving him bad luck when she attends games). This one stunt wasn't enough, though. They took the poor girl to New York this week on a victory tour, with an online video on Tuesday and another article on Wednesday. And now today, the paper has another superstitious trick up its sleeve. After reports that the manager of a TV station in Green Bay, Wisconsin, will yank Eli Manning's favorite show, Seinfeld, from the airwaves while the Giants are in town to play the Packers, the Post talked Jerry Seinfeld himself into sending the Giants quarterback a complete DVD set. Seinfeld said he'd also be "dispatching George Costanza to be the new traveling secretary for the Packers." (Those of you who are fans of the show will get the reference.) It's funny coverage, sure, but it's just kind of getting lazy at this point. In fact, one of the "Giants fans" they quoted at the end of the article works for the Post. Come on, guys. Isn't there a brilliant pun headline you could have come up with instead of all of this? Or maybe a Photoshopped picture of Tom Brady's head on McLovin's body?

fresh back from injury and have scaled back grand thoughts of long ultras this year to more like a marathon (or two), a tri (or two) and/or a 50k.
Looking for ideas and inspiration - what are you doing that you think would be amazing to try??
I am doing the Sussex Marathon on the 7th April. Only its third year of existing but a nice hilly, but scenic and challenging race.
Leaden boot challenge off road marathon with 5800ft ascent .........yeeha !!
Purbeck marathon in September, lots of hills and mostly offroad!
thats gonna be a tough one David. . .

Andover Parkrun 5k - Im building up to it.
I like to do a bit of parkrun tourism, so I ran that back in February. Nice event, it was a bit muddy when I did it - nearly fell over at one point.
Will you be making any rash predictions about your performance?
Hey Max's Mum, I'm doing Purbeck too. My first ever marathon. Did you do it last year?
That is definitely my A race by the way.
Edinburgh Half Marathon, its my hometown and it is downhill / flat (so I am assured) so I am hoping to beat my Swindon and Bristol times. warming up with lots of Swindon parkruns.
I have two marathons this year, (my first two) Giant's Head in Dorset on June 29th as my A race, and also Chester on October 6th. Then the plan is to do edinburgh Marathon May 14. My DEFINITE A race for 2014

Ken Livingstone: the antique's roadshow begins
Ken Livingstone's victory in the race to be Labour's London mayoral candidate is the best possible news for Boris Johnson and the Tories, but depressing for those of us who care about competitive politics.
I like Boris – but I wanted him to have to fight for re-election, to have to promise more than the minimum. Against Ken, the chances are that for all the sound and fury to come over the next eighteen months, Boris is reasonably assured of victory. Today, rather than the first Thursday in May 2012, will probably come to be seen as the day the mayoral election was decided.
The majority of Londoners have, I think, come to a settled view about Ken, and are unlikely to change their minds. Nor, more importantly, has Ken shown any sign of wanting to change their minds. His platform is a resurrection from the grave of all the policies and attitudes that turned middle-ground voters off. Elections are won at the centre, but he has turned sharply away from the centre since losing the mayoralty.
Perhaps that's because he clearly expects to be swept back into City Hall on a tsunami of hatred against Lib-Con cuts. This could be a powerful issue for Labour, but it's unlikely to work for Ken, for two reasons.
There is, I'm sure, a potentially fruitful argument Labour can make about whether the cuts need to be so big, and so soon. But the position Ken has taken – that there should be no cuts at all, and that the deficit, in his words at the Southall hustings, is a "scare" – just isn't credible. Voters tune out. He has already, in effect, ceded this vital ground to the coalition.
Secondly, Boris is perfectly capable of separating himself from the government – just as Ken did from Labour, suffering no ill-effects from standing as a Labour candidate in 2004 despite the Iraq war.
Ken's timewarp quality is also evident in the fact that he's still running on his record. But if that didn't work in 2008, it's definitely not going to work in 2012. The record is in many cases an obstacle – Ken can't attack Boris over ticket office closures and fare rises, for instance, without it being pointed out that he did, or proposed, exactly the same.
More fundamentally, people don't vote in the mayoral election on policies. It's a personality contest – and Boris is a far more likeable personality. Significant numbers of people hate Ken – a significant driver of voting last time. Relatively few hate Boris, though many are indifferent to him.
I can see only three ways Ken could win, all of them pretty unlikely. First is that some absolute catastrophe befalls Boris. Second is that such a perception of "foregone conclusion" takes hold that Boris's voters don't turn out – that is why the Tories have to behave as if this is a race. Third, most interesting, is the arrival on the scene of some dramatic third candidate whose transfers would go to Ken.
Conventional media wisdom has often been that Ken is a "wily" politician. Certainly, it was wily to get the Labour selection contest held so absurdly early that no heavyweight rival had time to enter it.
He's good at that sort of party intrigue; but overall, I'd say he is perhaps the stupidest top-flight politician I've ever encountered. Ken's besetting flaw is the sin of pride: an absolute refusal to admit he has ever been wrong about anything, and a stubborn determination to cling on to his mistakes (such as Lee Jasper) beyond the point of all political sanity. That's what makes him such an ideal opponent.

Lumoria Episode 2
At the start of the human-covenant war, a new found planet named "Lumoria" was found by a group of scientists. The planet had wierd architecture and new wildlife on the planet no one had even knew about. They would later realize that the planet was carved into what it is now by the "Forerunners". However, days after exploring the planet, the covenant made landfall, attacked the scientist ship, and catpured them. One of the scientists left a beacon, and you guys picked it up.
You are May, a female Spartan. Bred for combat, built for war.
You and a group of highly trained ODST's are dropped onto the surface of Lumoria for a search and rescue mission.
Welcome to Lumoria.
<3 TM. Have fun.
P.S Theres an epic legendary ending!

Sun Java System Portal Server 6 2004Q2 Administration Guide |
Chapter 17
BEA WebLogic Server
Setting Up Portal Server on BEA ClustersThis section gives a brief description and example of how the Sun Java System Portal Server software can be used with BEA WebLogic Server clusters.
For this example, there are five machines. All the machines must be on the same subnet. One has Identity Server and Directory Server (IS). Another is the BEA WebLogic administration server (AS). There are three cluster machines (CS1, CS2, and CS3). Load balancing is needed for clusters. In this example, the proxy is on the administration server.
Install Identity Server and Directory Server on the IS machine. Install BEA WebLogic Server on all four of the other machines using the default installation. Check that all servers are working correctly. On the administration server(AS) machine with BEA WebLogic Server, using the BEA WebLogic instructions, create a new domain (NEWDOMAIN) consisting of an administration server with listen port of 80. The name of the instance should be PORTALSERVER.
Install the Sun Java System Portal Server software on the AS machine with the following details.
On the other three machines with BEA WebLogic Server, using the BEA WebLogic instructions, create a new domain (NEWDOMAIN on all the three machines) consisting of an administration server with listen port of 7001 (ADMINSERVER on all the three machines) and another server with a listen port of 80 (PORTALSERVER on all the three machines). Each listen port should be the same; the example uses 80.
Next install the Portal Server software on the three machines to the managed server instance (PORTALSERVER) giving the following details.
On machines AS, CS1, CS2, and CS3, perform the steps required for deploying portal as mentioned in chapter 2.
To set up a cluster:
On the administration server(AS) machine with BEA WebLogic Server, using the BEA WebLogic instructions, create a new server instance listen port of 7001 and make the instance the administration server instance.
- Using the administration console of the admin machine AS (http://AS:7001/console), create a server for each of the machines to be in the cluster.
- Stop all the servers on the machines to be in the cluster.
- Restart those servers, but have them connect to the administration server AS. For example,
./startManagedWebLogic.sh CS1 AS:7001
- Using the administration console of the administration machine AS (http://AS:7001/console), create the cluster.
- Select Clusters, Configure a new Cluster.
For Name, the example uses NEWCLUSTER.
- For Address, put in the names for the servers representing the machines to be clustered: CS1,CS2,CS3.
- Inside this same window, select the Servers tab, then select the servers CS1, CS2, and CS3; move them from the Available box to the Chosen box.
For more detail, see the BEA WebLogic Server instructions to set up a cluster.
As you set up clusters remember the following:
Check to see that cluster is set up correctly by going the BEA WebLogic Server administration console, selecting Cluster in the left pane, selecting the Monitoring tab in the right pane, then select Monitor server participation in cluster. If one or more of the started server instances does not appear in the display, use the BEA WebLogic Server tool to verify the correct multicast addresses and port numbers.
If you plan on using a proxy servlet for load balancing, create a web.xml, and a weblogic.xml file for your cluster to use to configure the load balancing servlet. Using a temporary directory make a subdirectory WEB-INF. The web.xml, and the weblogic.xml files are the only files in a directory (WEB-INF). Use the fully qualified machine names in the file.
Code Example 17-2 Sample weblogic.xml File
<!DOCTYPE weblogic-web-app PUBLIC "-//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 8.1//EN"
Next you need to deploy the Portal Server software to the cluster.
- Go to the BEA WebLogic Server administration console for the administration server (AS:7001/console).
- Expand Web Applications in the left pane, then select Portal.
- Click on Targets tab. Uncheck PORTALSERVER and check "All servers in the cluster" and click Apply.
- Stop and restart all the servers. For the managed servers, on each machine, type:
./startManagedWebLogic.sh managed-servername http://AS.example.com:7001

While investigating more about complex numbers today I ran across the 2x2 matrix representation of a complex number, and I was really fascinated. You can read what I read here. As I understand it, you write z in its binomial form but instead of "1" you use the identity matrix, I, and for i you use a matrix m such that [itex]M^2=-I[/itex], like with the more usual definition of i. [itex]z =x\cdot 1+y\cdot 1 \cdot i\sim z=x\cdot \begin{bmatrix}1 &0 \\ 0 & 1\end{bmatrix} +y\cdot \begin{bmatrix}1 &0 \\ 0 & 1\end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}0 &-1 \\ 1 & 0\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}x &0 \\ 0 & x\end{bmatrix} +\begin{bmatrix}0 &-y \\ y & 0\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}x &-y \\ y & x\end{bmatrix}[/itex] In the "normal" way (the one you learn first, at least in my case) i is defined as follows: [itex]i^{2}=-1[/itex], the positive solution to the equation [itex]x^2+1=0[/itex]. This equation has two solutions, and by convention i is the positive one. If we try to solve [itex]M^2=-I[/itex], then we get infinite possibilites: [itex]M^2=-I \Rightarrow -\begin{bmatrix}1 &0 \\ 0 &1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}a &b \\ c&d \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} a&b \\ c&d \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}a^2+bc &b(a+d) \\ c(a+d)& d^2+bc \end{bmatrix}\Rightarrow \left\{\begin{matrix}a^2+bc=-1 \\ d^2+bc=-1 \\ b(a+d)=0 \\ c(a+d)=0 \end{matrix}\right.[/itex] There aren't just 2 solutions now. Why is the matrix [itex]\begin{bmatrix} 0& -1\\ 1&0 \end{bmatrix}[/itex] chosen over any of the rest of the matrices that satisfy m^2=-I? What is so convenient about that form over any other? Perhaps i isn't defined only as the solution to m^2=-I, but if so, what am I missing? Thank you for reading.
Any matrix of the form ##U^{-1}\left[\begin{smallmatrix}0&-1\\1&0\end{smallmatrix}\right]U##, where ##U## is a unitary matrix, can be used to represent the imaginary unit. Mathematical groups, of which the complex numbers are one example, generally have many different representations as sets of matrices.

It was a glorious day; about 70 degrees, slight overcast with occasional bursts of sunlight. It is amazing that this kind of wilderness is right in our back yard. (There is an airport along the way that provided a bit of man-made noise, but you will still be surprised). You can canoe this portion, although we prefer kayaks.
There was one area that when the water gets lower, might be impassible in a canoe, without a short portage.

American GangsterMust-See Filmmakingby Mel Valentin on Nov 02, 2007In the early 70s, Frank Lucas rose to prominence as a major player in the Harlem drug trade. Eventually arrested and sentenced to 70 years in prison, Lucas cooperated with state and federal prosecutors in exchange for a reduced sentence (he served 15 years). After coming across a profile of Lucas written by Marc Jacobson seven years ago in New York magazine, screenwriter Steven Zaillian (Gangs of New York, Clear and Present Danger, Schindler's List) optioned Jacobson's article and developed a screenplay. Two false starts later, Ridley Scott (Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator, Blade Runner) stepped in to direct Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. The end result is an often compelling, visually impressive, if unnecessarily long, crime drama. Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington), a driver, collector, and enforcer, works for Harlem gangster, Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson (Clarence Williams III). After Johnson's unexpected death leaves a power vacuum, Lucas decides to start his own organization. Lucas develops a brilliant plan to take over the dope trade in Harlem, going straight to the source in Southeast Asia and cutting out stateside middlemen. Lucas arranges to have pure heroin smuggled into the United States. He sells his brand of heroin, Blue Magic, at half the price of the competition. He brings his brothers from South Carolina to work for him, becomes a wealthy, feared man, marries a beauty queen, Eva (Lymari Nadal), and sets up his mother, (Ruby Dee), in a mansion. With the exception of a corrupt cop, Detective Trupo (Josh Brolin), who keeps coming around for handouts and threatening retribution for non-compliance, Lucas lives lavishly. Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe), seemingly the last honest cop in New Jersey. As the drug trade in Harlem, New York, and New Jersey expands exponentially, the feds decide to create a narcotics task force. Roberts' captain, Lou Toback (Ted Levine), taps Roberts to head up the task force, and Roberts has to find other detectives who won't be easily corrupted. As Roberts begins and continues his investigation, he slowly realizes that a new player, probably not Italian, has taken over Harlem. Finding his quarry's identity proves difficult, especially as his superiors in New Jersey and the federal prosecutor's office refuse to believe that an African American can run such a sophisticated operation. Structurally, American Gangster breaks down into two parallel stories, each meant to reflect on the other. In one, the template is Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, tracking Lucas' rise to power and his efforts to maintain power in the face of opposition from other gangsters, corrupt cops, and federal prosecution. In the other, William Friedkin's The French Connection serves as the model, as an obsessive cop methodically pieces together a case against Lucas and his organization over several years. The two stories don't overlap as much as run parallel, converging only in the last half hour. It's almost immediately after the storylines converge that American Gangster loses the energy and momentum that characterized the first two hours (the film runs close to two and a half hours) and gives way to a muddled, overlong epilogue. The overextended epilogue, however, is only a minor problem with a film that delivers on just about everything else it promises, e.g. a solidly crafted screenplay by Steve Zaillian, riveting performances by Washington and Crowe, dynamic direction by Ridley Scott, whose attention for period detail is as meticulous as ever, as is his eye for visual composition, fluid camera movements, and taut editing that only goes slack in the last half hour. American Gangster may not belong to the pantheon of gangster/crime dramas, but it comes close. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars by Mel Valentin on Nov 02, 2007 |

Marketplace Roundup
Published September 2, 2009
ESPN SOCCERNET reports England's Football Association (FA) is "on the hunt for a new backer after it confirmed energy giant E.ON will not be renewing its sponsorship deal with the FA Cup at the end of the 2009-10 season." E.ON's four-year deal was "understood to be worth" US$51.9M to the FA. E.ON said that "changes to its UK sponsorship strategy meant it was not pursuing a renewal of the FA Cup deal" (ESPNSOCCERNET.com, 9/2). The LONDON TIMES writes the collapse of Setanta appears to have been the "final straw" for E.ON (TIMES.co.uk, 9/2).
PACKING IT IN: North Carolina State Univ. (NCSU) AD Lee Fowler yesterday said that the school "has scrapped a new design for its men's basketball jerseys ... after receiving negative feedback from fans." In Raleigh, Ken Tysiac reports NCSU last week "displayed its new jersey design on its Twitter page," and the response was "overwhelmingly negative." The new adidas jerseys were an attempt to "re-emphasize the 'STATE,'" but Fowler said that the team now "will abandon the new design and instead use jerseys similar to those from last season" (Raleigh NEWS & OBSERVER, 9/2).

Thank you so much, Audrea. This is one of those shots that I did so many things to in Photoshop that I can't even remember them and doubt that I could reproduce it even if I tried. I appreciate your kind comments. #1161576Michelle Lea Guinn 3/10/2005 8:02:48 AM

Thanks, Dan. Sometimes I get a little confused about what category to put something in and where it will do the best. Like this image, it is a macro, but it is also a flower and obviously I have used special effects and the digital darkroom on it. Who knows? #1278555Kathleen F. Greer 4/21/2005 8:22:36 PM
Congrats on this beauty Marsha!! #1278734KHAWLA Haddad 4/21/2005 10:53:36 PM
Congratulations again Marsha!!!Taken yesterday, super macro mode, hand held, auto focus. Turned filters off and on, and off and on so am unsure exactly what I ended up using. I do know the Flaming Pear flood filter is in there as is the poster edges filter in PSCS.

Harold Shedd (born November 8, 1931) is a music industry executive and producer, best known for his role as producer of the country group Alabama as well as Reba McEntire, Shania Twain and Toby Keith. During his career he has headed Mercury Records and Mercury's sister label, Polydor.
Life and work[edit]
Born November 8, 1931, Shedd began work in his hometown of Bremen, Georgia, where he was a member of a local band and worked in radio for fourteen years as DJ, engineer, sales manager and finally station owner.[1] In 1972, he sold up and moved to Nashville, where by 1979 he was co-owner of the Music Mill recording studio.
Shedd was instrumental in Alabama, one of the first acts he worked with, being signed by RCA.[2] The band's debut single 'Tennessee River' was the first of Alabama's 21 consecutive number one hits that he produced.
Shedd also produced albums for Amie Comeaux, Roger Miller, Mel Tillis, Louise Mandrell, Dobie Gray, K. T. Oslin, Glen Campbell and Willie Nelson. While Reba McEntire had had top 10 singles, it was only with her collaboration with Shedd that she saw her first gold record, 1984's My Kind of Country album, although the pair came into conflict over his suggestions for songs and "the sweetened arrangements he imposed on them".[3]
In 1988 Shedd joined Mercury Polygram Records Nashville, where over the next six years, he oversaw the signing of Kentucky Headhunters, Shania Twain, Billy Ray Cyrus, Toby Keith and Kathy Mattea. In 1989 Shedd was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.[4]
After a period as President of Polydor Nashville,[1] The Music Mill recording studio became the headquarters of VFR Records, owned by Shedd with partners Paul Lucks and Ed Arnold, for a time one of Nashville's more successful independent country labels,[5] whose artists included Mark McGuinn and Trent Summar & The New Row Mob. VFR folded in 2002 due to a lack of funding.
