SINGAPORE — A recent surge in cash withdrawals from a government-owned bank in Thailand suggests the currently weak political environment is starting to affect the country's financial system, Standard & Poor's said in a statement yesterday.
However, the ratings agency sees the incident as politically motivated, rather than signs of a loss of confidence in any bank.
The Government Savings Bank (GSB) reported saw a net 60 billion withdrawn from its deposit accounts in just three days. The amount was 3% of its deposit base.
The surge in withdrawals was a political backlash after GSB extended a loan to the government-owned Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC), which is the paying agent for a controversial rice-subsidy scheme.
"GSB was caught in the crossfire. The run on the bank was limited in nature and is unlikely to have a contagion impact on the banking system," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Deepali Seth. "But the incident has exposed the vulnerability of the financial system."
A continued surge in withdrawals would have tested the support framework for government-owned specialised financial institutions (SFIs). The government fully guarantees GSB's deposits, but the current caretaker government could have found it difficult to take immediate action to support them.
"SFIs, such as GSB and BAAC, operate under different regulations to commercial banks. Accordingly, the central bank, Bank of Thailand, is not the lender of last resort for SFIs, which collectively form about 20% of Thailand's financial system. As such, the SFIs would be dependent on the interbank market or support from other institutions. The funds from these sources often dry out in a crisis.
"Nevertheless, SFIs can resort to collateralised overnight borrowing from the central bank to meet critical funding needs.
"Our base-case expectation is that the Thai banking sector remain stable, but the risks have increased. We don't expect political issues to be resolved any time soon, and that means further vulnerability for Thai banks," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Geeta Chugh.

The Rosetta Stone
The Rosetta Stone is our key to understanding the meaning of hieroglyphs.
The Rosetta Stone was a black basalt slab with the same piece of writing carved in three different languages: Hieroglyphics (top), Demotic (middle) and Greek (bottom).
Scholars were able to make sense of the hieroglyphic version by comparing it with the Greek which they already understood.
The Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799, during the French Revolutionary Wars, by one of Napoleon's officers near the town of Rosetta (now called Rashid) . In 1801, it was captured by the British and, since 1802, has been on show in the British Museum.
In 1822, a French Egyptologist called Jean Francois Champollion (1790-1832) was the first person to translate all the hieroglyphs on the stone. He discovered that it was a piece of writing in praise of the good works of the pharaoh Ptolemy V and that it was carved in 196 BC.
Thanks to his work, we now have a knowledge of the language of the Ancient Egyptians and an appreciation of this great civilisation through the many hieroglyphic writings that have survived.

script pre-freeze-script.bat with Hyper-V
Hello forum, I need your sugestion. In VMWARE infrastructure if I have to run a script before to take backup with BE 2012 I need to run a C:\Windows\pre-freeze-script.bat.
If I need to run the same script but on VM that running on HYPER-V server, How can I do this?
Comments 1 Comment • Jump to latest comment
I don't think you can
The pre-freeze-script.bat system during VMware backups is actually a function of how a VMware snapshot request interacts with the VMware tools installed inside the VM itself, and as such it is function Backup Exec uses, but not a function Backup Exec provides. To achieve the same thing in Hyper-V, Microsoft would have to provide a link via their own virtual machine support tools and backup API.
Closest thing I can suggest is use the Task scheduler inside the VM to set something to kick off before the backup starts and then have another task resetting those changes that is timed to run a reasonable time after you know the backup should have finishes. A possibe other option (which would involved some form of remote scripting) is to set pre- and post commands to run on the media server itself and have these commands do some form of remote execution against the VMs. Note you cannot set pre- and post- to run on the VMs themselves as that only works for standard remote agnet backup requests and not virtual agents

DUBUQUE, IA - The owner of an Iowa t-shirt store now has a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Tom Rauen put on 247 t-shirts to set the new mark.
"There's quite a bit of sizes involved. I think the largest we have tonight is a 20-XL which actually could probably be put on a King size mattress or a queen size mattress," said Craig Markham of the T-shirt squad.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Film Fans features local residents reviewing the movie of the week: "Wrath of the Titans." Want to be a film fan? Email email@example.com.
1 out of 4 stars
While the subject chronicles the mystic Greek gods, the entertainment value is very weak.
It seems chaos is the byword as the gods are anxious about losing control. However, the storyline is extremely confusing and the false gods are no more believable than in the Roman days, so the movie is a sophisticated computer battle gone awry as Liam Neeson sells out totally to play the pivotal part of Zeus.
Of course, this party of misfits has a black flying horse, Perseus, a giant one-eyed Cyclops, and Hades, who looks and acts like a delinquent nerd.
Nevertheless, the story crawls on as the cinematography literally goes wild as the fight scenes evolve -- therein may be the movie's only real asset as the images in certain segments are effective. But as it was 2000 years ago, the pursuit of false gods is just as boring and such a ridiculous waste of time as it is today. Two thumbs down for sure.
-- Rick Wright, Auburn
3 out of 4 stars
Being a fan of this genre, I probably liked "Wrath of the Titans" more than most. I found it to be a better movie than "Clash of the Titans."
A case could be made is that the dialogue was not up to the standards of the actors, but I felt the action more than made up for any lapses. Also, Perseus, being half-god, was at times more fearless had more moral courage than the gods themselves.
In this sequel, (I am sure there will be another), Perseus must again battle gods, titans and other assorted monsters in order to save the gods -- and pretty much the world. He again gets help, although this time it is a few less people (another half-god and a queen). The story is easy to follow and is there to get the actors to the next action scene.
For fans of the original, you get a quick glimpse of Bubo, the mechanical owl in Hephaestus' workshop. All-in-all, I found this movie to be an enjoyable two hours of action and well worth the money.
-- Mark Weinstein, Lawrenceville
2 out of 4 stars
Can't a demigod just live in peace? Apparently not if you're the favored son of almighty Zeus because once again Perseus is called upon to face mortal peril when the gods are all but destroyed and the Titans are set lose on human kind.
The problem with "Wrath of the Titans" is that the film uses CGI as a substitute for good writing. The characters are flat and so is the storyline.
If you saw the 2010 remake of "Clash of the Titans," then there is no need to pay money to see its predecessor. It's just more of the same without nearly as much spirit and better fight scenes.
-- Lindsey Hodges, Snellville

Arrest made in LDS church fires in South Salt Lake
South Salt Lake police Sunday arrested a man in connection with fires that damaged two LDS meetinghouses over the weekend.
Patrick Ehat, 26, of Salt Lake City, was arrested and booked into the Salt Lake County jail on suspicion of arson, burglary and criminal mischief, said South Salt Lake police Detective Gary Keller.
"He did take responsibility for the church fires," Keller said. "We haven't established a motive at this time. It's still under investigation. ... We're just glad we have this person off the street and people can feel safe in their communities."
South Salt Lake firefighters put out two blazes at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meetinghouses Saturday morning. The first fire destroyed a chapel in the building at 3219 S. 300 East about 3:30 a.m.
Damage was reported to exceed $1 million.
Three hours later, firefighters were called to an LDS church at 2702 S. Main. The fire caused minor smoke and water damage to the building.
Keller said Ehat had injuries consistent with climbing through a broken window. Police believe he acted alone.
Ehat's parents, Stephen and Jeanine Ehat, said they have had limited contact with their son in recent months. They have cooperated with law enforcement in the arson investigation, the couple said in a written statement.
The couple can't speculate about their son's motive, but believe "medical professionals will assess his mental health," they wrote, and are grieved at the damage caused.
Investigators are still trying to determine what caused a fire at a vacant South Salt Lake home less than an hour after the second LDS church was set ablaze, police said.
Bishop Matt Parson, of the Miller Ward, the congregation that meets in the building on 300 East, said he does not know Ehat.
A ward directory lists a Pat Ehat as a member.
Sunday services for ward members took place in another meetinghouse, Parson said.
"I know it was challenging for some people because the building has been special to us for so long," Parson said. "We've all shared special experiences there and to have it destroyed that way would be hard for anyone."
Parson hopes the arrest brings "closure" to the incident.
"It's nice not having to just wonder who did it," he said. "We'll move on. They'll rebuild or repair [the building] and it will be better than it was before."

This region is the rural leafy enclave where the city slickers head to when seeking out a bit of peace and an escape from the hectic urban pace, drawn as they are to its natural beauty and mountain ranges, best seen in the autumn when the foliage is vivid and spectacular, as well as the many festivals and artistic events which abound the area in the summer. Berkshire vacation rental homes are in a place which is perfect for relaxation and for doing as little as possible, but it's also an area which is full of outdoor activities, cultural offerings, and lots of festivals and events, making it a very well-rounded vacation destination.
There are three parks of note in the area with Berkshire vacation rental homes, the Natural Bridge State Park, which contains a rare, natural white marble bridge made from 550 million year old marble (!) carved into an arch by the last glacier age around 13,000 years ago, and the Berkshire Botanical Gardens, a 15 acre park which contains over 3,000 species and varieties, with the emphasis on plants which are indigenous to the Berkshires, though it's important to note that this is only open between May and mid-October. Then there is the Bash Bish Falls State Park, so colorfully named after Massachusetts' highest single-drop waterfall and providing many opportunities for fishing and swimming, as well as hiking through its numerous gorges and ravine forest, and the chance to see bobcats, pythons, falcons, and porcupines amongst others. The best hike though is at Mount Greylock State Reservation where you can do a section of the Appalachian Trail.
In the winter, if you book into a Berkshire vacation rental home, you can go skiing at various different resort areas, like Catamount, Butternut Basin, Berkshire East, Otis Ridge, or Bousquet Ski Resort, although none of these peak at more than 2,000 feet and they are all relatively small, whilst if you want a bit more height and choice, then head for Jiminy Peak, which stands at almost 2,500 feet, and becomes a hiking haven in the summer months.
Williamstown is the place which has traditionally been the epicenter of the Berkshires' summer art attractions, and the Review of the '62 Center for Theater and Dance, which only opened in 2005, provides three performance venues for dramatic performances in dance and music and related cultural events. The Williamstown Theater Festival takes place between late June to late August and stages classic and new plays, including some experimental ones, and attracts many top actors and directors. You can also head to the Chesterwood Estate and see the annual show of contemporary culture with Berkshire vacation rental homes.
There's also a few historic sites to be visited with Berkshire vacation rental homes, like the Hancock Shaker Village, comprised of twenty or so restored buildings showcasing and exploring the lifestyle habits and religious practices of this sect, and there are some interesting museums, like the Berkshire Museum (a natural history and science museum), which contains archeological artifacts but also shows art and foreign films during the summer months, and the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, where the exhibits are normally outsized, blending visual and performance arts to blur the traditional boundaries.
A Berkshire vacation rental home gives you many options to have a nice, culturally stimulating, relaxing holiday, as well as pursuing some outdoor activities.

Future of Kewalo Basin still up in the airUPDATED 7:21 PM HST Jun 10, 2014
The Howard Hughes Corporation is on the verge of signing off on a 45 year-long deal to redevelop Kewalo Basin. KITV4's Catherine Cruz shows us that things are still up in the air after four months of negotiations.Video Transcript
Still a lot of angst over what will happen to Kewalo Basin ... home to commercial fishermen and tour companies. The Howard Hughes Corporation is on the verge of signing off on a 45 year-long deal to redevelop the small boat harbor. KITV4's Catherine Cruz shows us after four months of negotiations Things are still up in the air... 12-22 31-43 52-104 122-129 153-200 One vote today by the Hawaii Community Development Authority could've advanced the Howard Hughes plan to add 100 more boat slips and millions of dollars worth of harbor improvements... - David Striphe 21:55-22:02 -"We spent a lot of time and resources to get to this point we think we have a fair deal and we truly look forward to making it a place the entire community can be proud of," But questions and concerns from the public remain... - Michelle Matson 9:47-10:00 - "What it will entail and how it will benefit the public and how much public communication and input there will be once the contract is signed," Will they dredge beyond the current 17 feet? The HCDA board says NO. Will commercial boaters be squeezed out. Again, HCDA says No. - Wayne Takamine 4:53 -5:01 - "I think for the publics mind we would prefer you defer We give us a chance to understand alittle more about what this proposal is all about." This current round of negotiations with Howard Hughes does NOT include this fenced area recently vacated by NOAA scientists. Park and ocean users are wary of what might replace the dilapidated structures. There is some talk of a restaurant although nothing has been finalized... 15: 54 - Roy Horikawa 70's - "It is going to limit our parking here and limit and I dont know how its going to affect traffic coming into the park." The developer plans to use the next 10 months to reach out to the community with ideas to rework this end of the harbor. Meanwhile HCDA says plans for a city and county lifeguard facility--possible a floating dock for its jet ski team could still materialize in the area as soon as august. After a two and a half hour closed door discussion the board voted to delay action on the Kewalo lease, although the board declined to say specifically what the hangup was. - Tony Ching 29:29-29 36 - "Given the complexity of a lease of this time and it was not as clear as it the authority would like it to be," The framework for the deal calls for $20 million worth of harbor improvements. The developer is to pay the HCDA base rent as well a portion of the profits. The agreement calls for renegotiation of terms after 35 years. The delay is a bit of a setback. but the issue could come back before the board later this month. Back to

* When testing out a new chassis in the mid-1960s, Saab decided to drape four of the chassis with Saab 96 bodies widened by 20 centimeters. The Petrol Stop has the story on the resulting mules, which Saab took to calling the Toads.
* At about the same time, Mercedes-Benz decided to take one of its 600 four-door sedans and whack a good section out of the middle, creating a rather handsome personal luxury coupe that nobody would call a toad. Only one was ever built, as Ronan Glon at Ran When Parked wrote.
* Over at The Old Motor, David Greenless shows us a couple late 1930s Lincoln design studio images from The Henry Ford.
* While digging into six- and eight-wheeled cars earlier this week, we came across a couple we'd not previously encountered at the 24 Hours of Le Mans's website, including Jean Rondeau's 1977 endurance car prototype, which as we came to find out, was never built in full-size.
* And finally, James McBride at Silodrome came across this hour-long documentary on the 1987 Camel Trophy in Madagascar.

So what is OTT 2.0, really?
Earlier this year we tried to come up with a name that would capture the OTT experience we envision, one that makes the TV experience personal, social and truly independent of any device constraint. We came up with OTT 2.0. As I start seeing more and more people in the industry using this name (e.g. at the awesome TV Next conference in Santa Clara last week), I thought this is a good time to explain what was our thought behind the name, and what it means.
Obviously, it plays on the concept of web 2.0 coming to the OTT space. However, it also describes what we've began seeing in the market at the time, and increasingly so today: cable, satellite and telco TV operators who already stream content on multiple connected devices through various apps, are now looking to do much more than that, returning for a "second wave" of OTT deployments. TV providers are starting to incorporate OTT as part of their core TV offering, not as a sidekick. They realize that OTT is not only a new method to offer their content everywhere, but also an opportunity to transform the TV experience, which for the majority of people outside of Silicon Valley, essentially hasn't changed for years, even if they have Netflix.
When I say transform, I refer to TV operators targeting the individuals within the households(instead of treating the household as a homogenous unit), making the transition between devices completely intuitive and offering a service where personalization is not a slogan. Transforming TV means creating an experience that truly utilizes what the intersection of web and television has to offer, and particularly the way we discover and interact with content. That's OTT 2.0.
There are great, innovative social/personal TV apps that try to do exactly that, and do a great job i.e Zeebox, Miso, GetGlue and others. But the problem so far has been that these apps are solely "companion", meaning added on top of the TV service. I believe that in order to really transform TV, OTT 2.0 capabilities should be an inherent part of the cable/satellite TV service, so the user can watch content on the same app in which he/she plays with the content. For example, the iPad is a device that is used both for direct viewing (first screen), and for playing with while watching TV (second screen), as 80% (!) of iPad users do. The user doesn't have to switch between the TV provider's app and the social TV app when making this transition. As a result, personalization, social content discovery and interaction, as well as control of the TV via the tablet/smartphone in companion mode, would be fully integrated into the core offering of the operator; not in the form of add-on apps. Once TV providers take this leap forward, OTT 2.0 will reach every tablet and smartphone owner, and TV will really be revolutionized, for everybody.

A Swell Guide
We'll be getting back to the "Statesman Series" with the next post, but I wanted to take a brief detour and introduce a new book I've been given. It's called Social Principles and Economic Life, written by Fr John Cronin and published in 1959.
Here's an excerpt from the preface:
"The social teaching of the Church is basically a mixture of ethics, moral theology, and prudent judgment as applied to the field of social economics. It is called Catholic because of its immediate source. But its principles are so founded in human nature that men of all creeds can readily see its truth and wisdom. While it has been presented authoritatiely by various statements of recent popes, its roots go back to the inspired words of Holy Writ."
That's what this blog is all about.

Goldman Sachs: the bank that thought it ruled the world
Posted By kurtnimmoadmin On July 20, 2012 @ 9:50 am In Economic Crisis,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled
July 20, 2012
'Long-term greedy" was the phrase that Sidney Weinberg, Goldman Sachs's legendary managing partner from the 1930s to the 1960s, used to describe the American investment bank's overarching strategy. Such a pious mission statement from a corporate titan would make a modern audience balk. However the phrase neatly encapsulates the way that Goldman Sachs has operated over the past 80 years, a period in which it has risen from being a little-known, slightly scrubby broker to the world's most profitable, powerful and controversial financial institution.
When Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman Sachs's current chairman and chief executive, was caught saying last year that the bank was doing "God's work", the contrast between Goldman Sachs's own view of its business and what the rest of the world thought of it was vividly demonstrated.
His comments came just weeks after the firm was memorably described in an article in Rolling Stone magazine as a "vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money". Doing God's work is the last thing most think Goldman Sachs is up to.

NSA Is Giving Microsoft Some Help On Windows 7 Security

November 18, 2009
[efoods]The National Security Agency has been working with Microsoft Corp. to help improve security measures for its new Windows 7 operating system, a senior NSA official said on Tuesday.
The confirmation of the NSA's role, which began during the development of the software, is a sign of the agency's deepening involvement with the private sector when it comes to building defenses against cyberattacks.
"Working in partnership with Microsoft and (the Department of Defense), NSA leveraged our unique expertise and operational knowledge of system threats and vulnerabilities to enhance Microsoft's operating system security guide without constraining the user's ability to perform their everyday tasks," Richard Schaeffer, the NSA's Information Assurance Director, told the Senate Judiciary Committee in a statement prepared for a hearing held this morning in Washington. "All this was done in coordination with the product release, not months or years later in the product cycle."

Judge Daniel Dawson ruled Ohio has jurisdiction over the case involving the teen, Rifqa Bary.
Before the girl gets sent back, the judge says he needs immigration papers proving her status in the U.S. and proof from the state of Florida that she can continue her virtual schooling and receive credit in Ohio.
She is expected to be placed in foster care when she returns and will also be provided with psychiatric evaluations. Her parents will also receive psychiatric evaluations.
Rifqa can be back in Ohio as early as this week, or by an Oct. 23 follow-up hearing.
Rifqa fled to Florida after her parents, Mohamed and Aysha Bary, learned that she was baptized earlier this year without their knowledge. The parents reported her missing to Columbus, Ohio, Police on July 19. Weeks later, using cell phone and computer records, police tracked the girl to the Rev. Blake Lorenz, pastor of the Orlando-based Global Revolution Church.
Related StoriesRunaway Christian Convert to Stay in Florida for Now, Judge Rules
In an emotional six-minute interview with WFTV in Florida, Rifqa, who met Lorenz through an online Facebook group, said she expects to be killed if she is forced to return to Ohio.
"If I had stayed in Ohio, I wouldn't be alive," she said. "In 150 generations in family, no one has known Jesus. I am the first — imagine the honor in killing me."
But a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation found no credible threats to Bary.
Contacted by FOXNews.com, Rifqa'a father Mohamed Bary said he has no intentions of harming his daughter.
"I love my daughter and I want her to come back to the family," he said, declining further comment.
The Barys reportedly emigrated from Sri Lanka in 2000 to seek medical treatment for Rifqa, who lost the sight in her right eye following an accident at home.
Because of the ignorance of our justice system, this judge
just sentenced an innocent girl to her death. She is going to come up
missing or worse. God protect her.
And the hypocrisy of the judge demanding her legal right
to be here in the states??!! WTH! There a millions of illegals running
around and no one questions why they are here or demand to see "their
papers" yet this young Christian girl, has to prove her legal rights. What
a screwed up judicial system. It is completely inane.

For starters, the name has to go. CRT? For now it stands for Claiming Rule Teams, though it might switch to Colin Rules Today since Mr. Edwards is inarguably the biggest name in the new, second-tier MotoGP division - or class within a class - that will make its debut in this year's MotoGP World Championship.
Just don't call it Moto1, which is really what it is. At least for now.
I don't have a problem necessarily with what Dorna is trying to do. They needed to swell the grids and in this economy Honda, Yamaha and Ducati (not to mention Suzuki and Kawasaki, who have packed up and left altogether) aren't suddenly going to do that on their own. It might be awhile before we see more teams leasing prototype MotoGP bikes, so CRT is Dorna's way of adding some girth to the grid. A cheaper option.
But at this point, I'm not a fan. In fact, it could turn out to be rather embarrassing. At least in year one...

The Linux Kernel/Memory< The Linux Kernel
Memory: from sys_bkr, sys_mmap2 to RAM
Data structures:
- __kfifo - FIFO or queue
- idr - map UID to pointer
- rb_root - red-black tree
- list_head - double linked list
- klist - list_head extension
Kernel Memory AllocationEdit
Slab AllocatorEdit
Slab allocation is a memory management mechanism intended for the efficient memory allocation of kernel objects. It eliminates fragmentation caused by allocations and deallocations. The technique is used to retain allocated memory that contains a data object of a certain type for reuse upon subsequent allocations of objects of the same type. Linux used a Slab allocation as the default allocator since kernel 2.2 until 2.6.23, when SLUB allocation became the default, but it is still available as an option.
A slab can be thought of as an array of objects of certain type or with the same size, spanning through one or more contiguous pages of memory; for example, the slab named "task_struct" holds objects of
struct task_struct type, used by the scheduling subsystem. Other slabs store objects used by other subsystems, and there is also slabs for dynamic allocations inside the kernel, such as the "kmalloc-64" slab that holds up to 64-byte chunks requested via kmalloc() calls. In a slab, each object can be allocated and freed separately.
The primary motivation for slab allocation is that the initialization and destruction of kernel data objects can actually outweigh the cost of allocating memory for them. As object creation and deletion are widely employed by the kernel, overhead costs of initialization can result in significant performance drops. The notion of object caching was therefore introduced in order to avoid the invocation of functions used to initialize object state.
With slab allocation, memory chunks suitable to fit data objects of certain type or size are preallocated. The slab allocator keeps track of these chunks, known as caches, so that when a request to allocate memory for a data object of a certain type is received, it can instantly satisfy the request with an already allocated slot. Destruction of the object does not free up the memory, but only opens a slot which is put in the list of free slots by the slab allocator. The next call to allocate memory of the same size will return the now unused memory slot. This process eliminates the need to search for suitable memory space and greatly alleviates memory fragmentation. In this context, a slab is one or more contiguous pages in the memory containing pre-allocated memory chunks.
Slab allocation provides a kind of front-end to the zoned buddy allocator for those sections of the kernel that require more flexible memory allocation than the standard 4KB page size.
SLAB allocatorEdit
SLAB is the name given to the first slab allocator implemented in the kernel to distinguish it from later allocators that use the same interface. It's heavily based on Jeff Bonwick's paper "The Slab Allocator: An Object-Caching Kernel Memory Allocator" (1994) describing the first slab allocator implemented in the Solaris 5.4 kernel.
SLUB allocatorEdit
SLUB (acronym of "the unqueued slab allocator") is the iteration of the slab allocator that replaced it and became the Linux default allocator since 2.6.23.
SLOB allocatorEdit
Unfortunately, SLAB and SLUB allocators consume a big amount of memory allocating their slabs, which is a serious drawback in small systems with memory constraints, such as embedded systems. To overcome it, the SLOB (Simple List Of Blocks) allocator was designed in January 2006 by Matt Mackall as a simpler method to allocate kernel objects.
SLOB allocator uses a first-fit algorithm, which chooses the first available space for memory. This algorithm reduces memory comsumption, but a major limitation of this method is that it suffers greatly from internal fragmentation.
The SLOB allocator is also used as a fall back by the kernel build system when no slab allocator is defined (when the CONFIG_SLAB flag is disabled).
The SLOB allocator implementation lives in the source file

LG's DoublePlay becomes official and is ready to change texting forever
In recent memory it seems that we have gotten the shaft on envelope pushing designs. Think about it, it's either a horizontal sliding QWERTY with a huge screen, or just a huge screen. Not that I'm complaining as I surely love my slate styled monster phone, I just seem to miss the days of "Yea, it's a crazy design, but let's run with it". When I first caught a glimpse of what is now being called the LG DoublePlay, it felt good. Not good where I would trade in my EVO for it, but lets just say it put a smile on my face.
The LG DoublePlay was first spotted back in June by Pocket-Lint and the mysterious device had everyone that caught a glance interested. When the device is closed at first glance, it looks like a simply touch screen device, get a bit closer and you'll notice it's a horizontal slider. Slide it open and your imagination runs wild. When opened this new LG DoublePlay exposes a split keyboard that is separated by a 2 inch internal screen. This internal screen is touchy and can work on its own or together with the 3.5 inch touch screen topside. The physical keyboard on the DoublePlay, in case you have had no time on a tablet in horizontal mode is all thumbs. Think about the QWERTY on a Blackberry. But not only do you get awesome texting with the physical buttons, the LG DoublePlay comes equipped with Swype preinstalled. Internally this little bad boy packs a punch as well. It sports a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor that lets the likes of Android 2.3 run smooth as butter. Traveling to its backside you'll see a 5 mega pixel camera with LED flash that is capable of recording video in 720p HD. You can also expect all the standards from a smart phone including expandable microSD or SDHC memory, Bluetooth and microUSB connectivity. The press release states the DoublePlay is set to "Raises The Stakes At The 2011 LG U.S. National Texting Championship", which takes place on the 26th of October. It may be a safe bet to expect the DoublePlay shortly thereafter, or say the 11th at $150 bucks, as a leaked road map of T-Mo's future line suggested earlier this month. Whenever it release and however much it may cost it will be interesting to see what developers can do with its dual screen technology.
Interested in the LG DoublePlay? Sound off in the comments below and let us know if this will be your new phone. Oh and by the way, we carry all the best LG accessories.

An Investigation of Brain Tumor Metabolism in Patients Undergoing Surgical Resection
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The study is designed to use infusion of a non-radioactive, naturally occurring isotope of glucose (13C) in patients undergoing surgical resection for a newly identified brain mass to obtain the metabolic phenotype of the tumor, and correlate it with the histopathological diagnosis. In each patient, 13C NMR spectral analysis of tumor extracts will be obtained after intraoperative infusion of [U-13C]glucose or [1,2-13C]glucose. Whenever feasible, patients will undergo 3 preoperative imaging studies - 18FDG-PET, diffusion tensor imaging with 1H-spectroscopy on 3T MR scanner, and ultra high resolution MR imaging on the 7T MR scanner. The results of these imaging studies will be correlated with the metabolic phenotype to generate a comprehensive non-invasive view of the tumor with the goal of identifying infiltrative, metabolically active tumor cells within the brain. In addition, a comprehensive molecular profile of the tumor will be obtained and enable a genotype-metabolic phenotype comparative analysis.
Correlative Translational Research The investigators will obtain tumor tissue from each patient for comprehensive molecular analysis (array CGH, expression profiling, methylation profiling) which will be correlated with tumor histology, the metabolites identified by 1H-MR spectroscopy and the 13Cglucose metabolic profile. Patients will be followed at designated time points along their treatment course to obtain information about ongoing treatment and response, time to tumor progression and overall survival. These parameters will be used in correlational analysis with the metabolic phenotype.

|Official Title:
|An Investigation of Brain Tumor Metabolism in Patients Undergoing Surgical Resection
- metabolic phenotype correlation to clinical endpoints [ Time Frame: at end of follow-up period- between days 1-14 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To correlate the metabolic phenotype obtained from histopathological diagnosis with the clinical endpoints of time to tumor progression and overall survival during the 5 years of patient follow-up
- baseline imaging data review [ Time Frame: at time of study entry- within 14 days of surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To compare and contrast baseline imaging data obtained on the 7T MR among the major brain tumor histological subtypes (e.g. low grade gliomas, glioblastoma, brain metastases) with emphasis on the differences in vascular integrity and extent of tumor infiltration for each subtype
- molecular profiling [ Time Frame: after surgical resection- day 0 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To correlate changes on 7T with the molecular profile of the primary resected tumor (molecular profiling is being done under a separate IRB approved protocol).

Experimental: surgical resection of a brain tumor
The patient will undergo surgical removal of the tumor after infusion of 13C-glucose using standard neurosurgical technique, including frameless stereotaxy for surgical navigation, and microsurgical technique.
Procedure: surgical resection of a brain tumor
The patient will undergo surgical removal of the tumor after infusion of 13C-glucose using standard neurosurgical technique, including frameless stereotaxy for surgical navigation, and microsurgical technique.
Detailed Description:
This study has been expanded to include subjects with primary tumors outside the central nervous system, including breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, prostate cancer and colon cancer. Patients with a brain mass identified on brain imaging and who need surgical resection of the mass will be eligible for this metabolism study. Eligible study patients will be screened, recruited, and enrolled at UT Southwestern Medical Center in the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, University Hospital - Zale Lipshy and University Hospital - St. Paul, Children's Medical Center of Dallas as well as at Parkland Health and Hospital System. We will consent 60 patients, including projected screen failures and early withdrawals, and anticipate that we will study 25 patients in this clinical protocol. Once enrolled, patients will undergo a series of preoperative brain imaging studies including 3T MRI with Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and 1H-MR spectroscopy, 7T MRI and a brain 18FDG-PET scan within 7-14 days of the scheduled operation. Of these studies, only the 3T MRI is standard of care. The DTI and 1H-MR spectroscopy are additional scanning sequences that are being done for research purposes. Similarly, the 7T MRI and the 18FDG-PET are being done for research purposes only. On the day of surgery, the patient will have a peripheral IV started while waiting in the preoperative holding area and a 20% solution of either [U-13C]glucose and/or [1,2-13C]acetate (to be determined for each individual patient by the PI) will be infused at a rate of 4g/hr for a maximum of 4 hours. During the infusion period, 4 timed blood samples will be collected for NMR analysis of 13C-glucose in the blood. The infusion will continue until the tumor has been resected and samples have been collected and flash frozen for 13C-NMR spectral analysis and molecular analyses. The infusion and tumor collection for 13C-NMR analysis is being done for research purposes only. However, the remainder of the neurosurgical operative and post-operative procedures will be followed according to standard practice. The patient will be seen 10-14 days after surgery for a follow up visit at which time an assessment of adverse events will be performed. Thereafter, every 6 months for 5 years or until death, the patient will be contacted and data regarding treatment, responses, and tumor progression will be collected for correlative analysis.

We wrote about this earlier today. The numbers are a bit different than the numbers in our earlier post via Media Week, but generally the theme is the same with the Advertising Age numbers. CSI still looks like a "bargain" to me.
Here's the full Fall pricing survey via Advertising Age.
Remember CSI had over 20% more overall viewers than Grey's in week one and only 7/10ths of a ratings point less viewers in the 18-49 category. CSI did much better overall last week than Grey's and the Office: CSI:24.85m viewers, Grey's 20.48m, The Office 9.67m.
The 18-49 ratings were a bit in Grey's favor: 8.7 for Grey's, 8.0 for CSI vs 5.1 for The Office. The spreads in pricing between the three lead me to believe that in reality, the 18-49 is not really the metric used to drive pricing despite how much it is bandied about in the media. Something else is driving Grey's rates and I suspect it's younger people and more chicks.
As for The Office, I remember reading that like Boston Legal and 30 Rock, it did particularly well in the 18-49 segment with household income over $100,000 last year.
I confess, I watch both Grey's (yeah, yeah, I liked Sex in the City too, deal with it) and The Office so the Tivo comes in handy. Gorman is a CSI guy.

Coal has a great importance for Romania's economy - as coal-fired power plants produce almost 50% of the country's energy. It has geological reserves in 3 bln tons of coal and commercial reserves in 545 mln tons.
Most of the country's coal reserves are concentrated in three so-called "Coal Zones": Zone I (sub-Carpathian depression), Zone II (Oltenia), and Zone III (north-west Transylvania); 90% of the reserves are located in Zone II. 95% of the reserves are presented with lignite, and only 5% with bituminous coal.
At the Communist era Romania produced up to 60 mtpa of coal; in 1991-1999 it decreased to 22.5 mtpa in 1999, and then slightly grew, so now the country extracts 35-36 mtpa. 98% of production is presented with lignite, while bituminous coal holds only 2% in total production.
Romania doesn't export any significant volumes of coal, but imports bituminous coal and anthracite; about half of the coal import is presented with coking coal - to supply its coke-chemical facilities.
Three state-run coalminers provide 100% of coal production in the country; the largest of them - National Company of Lignite "Oltenia" S.A - provides 90% of the coal output; the second company also produces lignite, while the third one produces bituminous coal. 75% of coal production is done in open pit mines, and 25% in underground mines.

The mission of the Sunnyside health services program is to support the health and well-being of students and staff in the district. Our goal is a registered nurse in every school. School nurses are part of the education team and support student academic achievement.
Under the guidance of the school nurse, health clerks support the health services programs throughout the District. Both High Schools have health clerks on staff and one health clerk rotates to different schools district-wide.
School Nurse Directory (PDF)
Illness or Injury
A student who appears ill or has a temperature of 100 degrees or more, should remain at home or will be sent home when becoming ill at school. Before students are excused from school for illness, injury or for any other reasons, parents/guardians or authorized emergency contact persons are notified. Accidental injuries at school are treated with first aid by the school nurse, or in his/her absence, by a trained staff member. Parents will be informed and advised if further medical care is needed.
Arizona State Law Immunization Requirements (PDF) states that all school children must be immunized in order to enroll in school. SUSD follows the state's strict requirement of "No Shots, No School" and requires proof of immunization at enrollment. By law, a student is not allowed to attend classes unless they are compliant with immunizations. The exceptions to this are a medical, personal, or religious exemption.
Protect your baby from Pertussis (Whooping Cough.) Get Information from the CDC.
If there are medical or religious reasons a child cannot be vaccinated, call the school nurse for further information.
We in the school district, as well as other medical experts, believe every child should have a medical home. The physician's office is the best place for all of your child's care including these and all other immunizations. If all health care is done in one place, the child's records will be complete and in one location. For alternative locations see our Referral form.
Prescription medicine may be administered at school when prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider with prescriptive authority in the State of Arizona, and provided in a container labeled by the pharmacy or the legal prescriber. The State of Arizona grants prescriptive authority to physicians (MD and DO), physician assistants (PA), advanced nurse practitioners (ANP, FNP, PNP) and dentists. The proper Request for Giving Medicine at School form (PDF) must be completed for administering all medications at school. Permission Forms are only applicable for the current school year in most circumstances.
Parents are responsible for providing all medications to the school nurse in original containers accompanied by the appropriate Request for Giving Medicine at School form . The school nurse is responsible for reviewing all medication requests including those for a field trip or overnight student school travel.
Students who are well enough to attend school are well enough to play outside unless the school receives a note from their medical provider. Sunnyside students play outside until temperatures reach 105 degrees.
During the course of the school year, the school nurse will be checking height, weight, vision, hearing, and color vision. The extent of the routine screening depends on the grade. However, any time a teacher or parent has a concern; the school nurse will follow up with the appropriate test and notify the parents if further evaluation is warranted.
If your child requires special nursing care during the school day, please contact your school nurse. Schools nurse are trained to manage most medical situations. Depending on the circumstances, physician orders and special equipment may be required.
Phone Numbers and Updates on Medical Status
It is important that the school has current home, work, and emergency phone numbers and is current regarding changes in health status. This is especially critical during an emergency situation.
For more information regarding health services, please contact: Jody Disney Director of Health and Wellness 545-2014 firstname.lastname@example.com
