Or Stars Hollow… is that what it's called? I can hear Duana making sounds from wherever she is, getting ready to puff up and school me. Because, no, I haven't started watching it yet, OK? I'm sorry.

I watched Jacek watch Spy on a plane. You ever do that? You love a movie, you think it's so funny, you want to share it with the person you love, so you spend more time looking at them than you do the screen? And it's the best, isn't it? Same thing happened with The Trip. I watched Jacek watch The Trip on a flight to the Maldives. Full Story

COLOMBO: Western Provincial Councillor Duminda Silva was identified
as the person who caused injuries to a American woman sailor and
assaulted two other American Security Officers of the US Embassy at a
night club, by them at an identification parade held at the Colombo
Magistrate's Court before Additional Magistrate Ms Darshika Wimalasiri
Colombo Chief Magistrate and Additional District Judge Kusala
Sarojini Weerawardana extended the remand of Duminda Silva yesterday
till June 9 following submissions made by Senior State Counsel (SSC)
Gihan Kulathunga that there were others to be taken into custody with
regard to this incident.
Granting bail to Duminda Silva would affect the process to take them
into custody. SSC Kulathunga also submitted that Duminda Silva was
already on bail in three separate cases and this was his fourth time of
pleading for the granting of bail. He objected to the granting of bail
to Duminda Silva since he had a tendency to commit another crime.
Duminda Silva was taken into custody by the Colombo Crime Division (CCD)
while he was being treated at a private hospital on May (30) for
allegedly causing injuries to an American female security officer Sigrid
Iksha Rivara and assaulting two male security officers Wilbur Lon Lamton
and Solmons employed at the American Embassy as security, officers at a
night club on May 26.
Defence Counsel Anil Silva submitted before Court that the State
Counsel's objection for granting bail was contradictory to law.
The Defence Counsel said that when his clients lady friend went to
the Kollupitiya Police to complain about the sexual harassment they were
refused to entertain the complaint.
Thereafter she returned to the Cinnamon Gardens Police to make the
The police who was taking notes of the complaint stopped their task
midway and refused to continue. She thereafter made the complaint at the
Police Headquarters. The Police did not take any action to investigate
into that complaint.
The Defence pleaded with the Court to grant bail to Duminda Silva on
any grounds. The Judge observed that the Court could not extend his
remand continuously and ordered the Police to complete the investigation
soon. The Colombo Chief Magistrate ordered the Police to conduct a
separate investigation into that incident and submit a report before
Court. Attorneys-at-Law Anil Silva, Nalinda Indatissa and Kalinga
Indatissa, Chathura Galhena, Hemantha Gamage, Prasad Liyanarachchi and
Ms Lakshika Fernando appeared for Defence while SSC Gihan Kulathunga
appeared for the prosecution.

Southcoast Maternity Services now offering an Early Pregnancy Education Initiative in Wareham
WAREHAM, Mass. - Southcoast® Health System's Maternity Services now offers an Early Pregnancy Education Initiative to women who are planning to become pregnant or are early on in their pregnancy. The new program will help women lay the foundation for a healthy pregnancy, birth and post-partum experience.
The free monthly gathering is led by a registered nurse from Tobey Hospital with more than 20 years of experience in maternity, labor and delivery, and mothering. The class will cover topics such as:
- Nutrition and exercise, including weight gain and hydration.
- Birth planning and birth options.
- Substance use such as smoking, alcohol and medications.
- Risks including high blood pressure and gestational diabetes.
- Lifestyle changes including balancing work or school and adjusting to changes in a mother's body.
- Breastfeeding and deciding if it's the right choice for mother and baby.
The program was designed to offer education in a non-judgmental, supportive environment to maximize a mother's experience with her pregnancy. Early pregnancy education is key to promoting health and wellness for mom and baby. In addition, providing education on the importance of nutrition and exercise beginning in the first trimester will enable mothers to make informed choices.
This program is made possible through a grant received by the Makepeace Neighborhood Fund. The next meeting will take place on Thursday, November 7, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and will take place at Southcoast Health System at Rosebrook, 100 Rosebrook Way in Wareham. Healthy snacks and a free book will be provided to each participant. Registration is required. For more information or to register, call 508-273-4151.

A brief Facebook outage today prompted a flurry of complaints and comments on Twitter less than two months after a similar incident affecting users worldwide.
According to the website downdetector.com, the outage began around 1600 GMT, and appeared to last less than an hour.
In that time, thousands of users complained they could not access the world's biggest social network.
Similar to the June incident, Facebook users took to Twitter to vent or post sardonic comments, many using the hashtag #facebookdown.
"Facebook is Down?! Oh God! Now How the Hell Am I Going to Find Out How My Friends Feel About Facebook Being Down?!" one user tweeted.
Another wrote "Facebook going down for 15 minutes is proof that today's generation wouldve survived approximately 8 seconds in the 80s."
A Twitter user with the handle @TheTweetofGod wrote, "#facebookdown. Please remain calm and do not attempt to interact with human beings."
During the outage, Facebook said in a statement, "We're aware that some people are currently having trouble accessing Facebook. We're working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible."

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) - One week after their first national convention, the self-styled Teabaggers are facing an identity crisis after one of their members finally Googled the slang term "teabag."
"I was wondering why every time I told people I was a Teabagger they kind of started giggling in an embarrassed way," said Tracy Klugian, a Teabagger from Elyria, Ohio. "I was like, what the heck? Maybe I should use the Google and see what this is all about."
After Mr. Klugian Googled the word "teabag," he was shocked by what he discovered and shared his information with the Teabaggers' leadership, who are now actively looking for a new name for the group.
"We want a name that suggests we're out to give the Democrats a good fight," he said. "So far what we've come up with is the Donkey Punchers." More here.

DOGS DOWNED | Canberra came from the clouds to down Canterbury in the National Capital this afternoo...
68 mins ago - 2 Likes
North Sydney produced a timely and superb win against South Sydney at North Sydney Oval on Friday night, with magnificent try line defence keeping the Bunnies scoreless for the full 80 minutes. Off the back of last week's second half performance against Penrith, where the Bears also held their opposition to nil, Coach Gary Freeman thought his team was "courageous and outstanding in the conditions".
Former Bear and now Melbourne Storm player Alex Chan lead the impenetrable force field that meet Souths every time they came near the Bears line, which to the Bunnies credit was numerous times. But in reality Souths had a snow's chance in hell, as the likes of Alex Chan, Michael Harper, Matt Thurston, Ben Ellis and Wayne McDade upended, chopped down and pummelled Souths in constant rain and slippery conditions.
But the Bears didn't restrain their attack either in the pouring rain, often going for the offload and that extra pass. Alex Chan scored first in the opening minutes of the match and Chris Tuatara intercepted the pill and ran 70 metres to score. John Russell looked dangerous in defence and attack and Aaron Heremaia (pictured) had a stunning kicking game in atrocious conditions.
Afterwards Gary Freeman told his team "you all played really well as a team. You were courageous and outstanding and you have shown me what a great team you have developed into".
This great team now faces the Bulldogs at the Showground at Homebush Bay on Saturday 2nd July at 3:40 p.m. Be there!
NORTH SYDNEY 14 (Alex Chan, Chris Tuatara tries; Richard Retimana 3 goals) defeated SOUTH SYDNEY 0.

On September 5, 2007, during my 34th week of pregnancy, my daughter stopped all fetal movement. I went to the OBGYN for my doctor to perform a stress test on the baby. After the test, my doctor assured me that my baby was healthy and fine and he asked me to come back the next morning just to make sure she was still doing fine. There was no movement overnight, so the doctor decided to do a stress ultrasound that showed my daughter was in distress because the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck. My doctor came in and told me that he was admitting me into the hospital and I would deliver my daughter within the next 48 hours through c-section, if everything went according to plan. I was put in a room and given Celestone shots to mature my daughter's lungs since she would be born six weeks early.
On Saturday, September 8, 2007 at 8:02 a.m. my daughter, Taelor Brooke, was born. She was rushed to the NICU because she was having difficulty breathing. After several tests, scans, and ultrasounds, the neonatologist came into my room to tell me that my daughter had a right pneumothorax, a PDA in her heart and a small bleed on her brain. They put in a central line and started her on several medications in hopes to clear up all problems. Her doctor told me not to get my hopes up because my daughter was very sick and if she came home it would be in six weeks, around her due date.
On Sunday night, September 6th, 2007 Rod Wilkin brought Delores and Bill Winder to the hospital to meet and pray with me, my family, and Taelor Brooke. Delores and I went down to the NICU where Delores prayed over and anointed my daughter concentrating on her heart, lungs, and brain. Before we left, Delores told me that Taelor Brooke would get worse because the devil was going to attack us. She then said that I had to stay strong and believe that God loved me and my daughter enough to heal her completely! While we were in the room, a peace that is indescribable came over me and I knew that everything was fine. Later that night my daughter's neonatologist came into my room to tell me that they had to put my daughter on a ventilator because she had quit breathing, and they were going to fully sedate her and she did not need to be stimulated. I was upset and initially mortified that I might lose my baby, but after a few quick minutes of crying, I realized I had to claim that my daughter was not sick and that God was going to heal her.
Over the next several days, I sat in a rocking chair by her in the NICU praying over and over again for God to please heal my baby and make her whole. Four days after Delores came to pray over Taelor Brooke, the PDA in her heart had completely closed. A few days after that, her lungs were fully developed and opened and she was off the ventilator. I was able to take my healthy baby girl home on September 18, 2007, twelve days after the doctors told me it would be at least six weeks if she made it out. A week after we got home, we went for a follow up on the bleed in her brain. The radiologist could not even find a bleed or traces of a bleed.
To this day, Taelor Brooke is a normal healthy 23 months old. There are no words or gestures I can express to Delores for showing me that God can and will heal. Before having my daughter, I did not think or believe that God loved me enough to heal my daughter, but now I know He does and He will!

Am I over-reacting? Since pregnancy our 2 dogs started to really gross me out.
Ever since I became pregnant I have become extremely grossed out by our 2 dogs. They don't get groomed on regular basis because they have sensitive skin and they eat POOP. I saw one of them today getting ready to swollow a piece of poop. I am so disgusted by them that I (against the wishes of my husband) moved them to the garage. But my husband still lets the dogs get in my (infant) son's face and if I catch him doing that we get into an argument. He has had these dogs since they were born and loves them dearly and I know it broke his heart when I moved them out. I don't know what to do but the thought of the dogs touching/licking my son makes me sick!!! They are very well behaved but they eat poop ALL the time, it's so gross. I know one day I won't be able to control what my son gets into but I know I will do my best even then. Am I totally wrong to feel this way? Do all dogs eat poop and is there any way to get them to stop so that they can be around our baby?

The car becomes an item of mass production
Difficult times in the aftermath of the Second World War, then registration figures explode
Mercedes-Benz decides to take sales into its own hands
Engines for the Formula One Silver Arrows built in England
While Britain was able to return to pre-war automotive production levels by as early as 1947, for German companies any resumption of normal business dealings after the Second World War was extremely difficult. The "Stuttgarter Nachrichten" of October 19,1950, for example, reported that the German automotive industry was not present at the International Motor Show in London opened on October 18, the main reason being "
that Germany is still not authorized to export motor vehicles to Britain. On the other hand, since conclusion of a new trade agreement, an increasing number of German cars are now being delivered throughout the
British Empire
In the catalogue for the 30th International London Motor Show at Earls Court from October 21 – 31, 1953, Mercedes-Benz advertised the fact that cars from
"the world's oldest car manufacturer"
were now available once again in Britain through the sole authorized sellers, Mercedes-Benz Great Britain Ltd., London. At this first appearance in London since the war, the German brand occupied stand number 142 and presented a 170 D, a 180 with four-cylinder engine and the six-cylinder 300 and 300 S roadster models. There were also five demonstration cars to give visitors an opportunity to test the quality of the products for themselves.
The timing of the exhibition was without doubt highly propitious for us, since it coincided with the arrival of the first vehicles after the reopening of the market to German products, applications for vehicle imports had been posted well ahead of the exhibition, and roughly ten sub-dealerships in the various provinces had already been set up
," concluded an internal report on the London Motor Show of 1953. "
Interest in our products in general was exceptionally high. We received contact from very many former Mercedes-Benz customers, who expressed their joy
at seeing Mercedes-Benz back in the British marketplace once again
." Such enthusiasm was confirmed in an article published in the German newspaper "Die Welt" on October 24,1953: "
The Mercedes personnel were barely able to cope with the crowds of visitors. Within the first three hours of the show's opening, Mercedes had already sold five cars – including two 300 models
The internal report also documented the fact that up until this point no fewer than 69 vehicles had been shipped to England, with a further 139 vehicles on order; in addition, a minimum of 20 orders were expected for the last month of the year. The report concluded that the 300 and 220 looked particularly strong prospects for the British market, as did the diesel passenger car,
"despite exceptionally strong British competition."
Similarly, in 1954, "
the crowd of interested visitors was greater than we had ever experienced at any other show
," according to a brief internal report on the London Motor Show. "
As a result it was almost impossible to inspect the individual vehicles at close quarters
." At its second appearance at the show since the war, Mercedes-Benz Great Britain presented the 180, 220, 300 and 300 SL models.
In Britain of the 1960s the car was no longer the novelty item it had once been, but an object of mass production. Whereas in the first half of the twentieth century simply owning a car was enough to reveal the social standing of the driver, by the latter half of the century the car had become more an accessory to the driver's sense of social inclusion. The number of registered vehicles grew exponentially: although the population of the British Isles increased relatively moderately from around 53 million in 1961 to 59 million by the end of the last century, the number of registered cars increased in the same period by almost a factor of four, from about six million to just under 23 million. In 2005 there were 26.2 million registered private vehicles on Britain's roads, and the following year a further 2.4 million vehicles were added to the register.
Mercedes-Benz takes control of its own foreign affairs
Once Daimler-Benz had taken the decision in 1970 under the guidance of Heinz C. Hoppe, then the Board of Management member responsible for Sales, to organize its own foreign sales along the lines of the successful American model, there followed a sustained period of less than straightforward negotiation. As Hoppe recalled in his report "Ein Stern für die Welt", published in 1991:
"We had major problems setting up the British subsidiary Mercedes-Benz United Kingdom Ltd. (MBUK), since in the Tilling Group we were dealing with a holding company that also represented vehicles from BMW and other brands. In terms of passenger cars we were already achieving very satisfactory sales results given the conditions at the time, and yet the authorized representative of the Tilling Group, Mr. Meany, categorically refused to sell commercial vehicles as well, even though then as now Britain represented the largest truck market in Europe."
For Daimler-Benz this was of course unacceptable:
"We had to stand our ground throughout a series of long and complicated negotiations that were not concluded until 1974 and finally led to the founding of Mercedes-Benz United Kingdom Ltd. with headquarters in Brentford."
Following the takeover, the Stuttgart company drew up what was at the time an entirely new concept for the British market:
"As in Washington (
Park Avenue
) and Paris (Champs Elysées) we set up a
showroom at a representative location,"
reported Hoppe.
"Despite the high rental for the premises, the salon at
Piccadilly Circus
was worth every penny. The accuracy of our decision to establish the subsidiary could be seen in the fact that sales increased markedly after years of relative drought and today [1990] annual sales in
are around 30,000 passenger cars and 17,000 trucks."
In June 1974 Daimler-Benz presented the newest version of its Experimental Safety Vehicle, the ESF 24, at the fifth conference of the international Experimental Safety Vehicle research program in London. The ESF 24, the result of safety research which gained increasingly in importance throughout the 1970s, was based on an S-Class production car (W 116) and offered that car's protective features as well as modifications with special design solutions for the car to pass the frontal impact test at 65 km/h against a rigid barrier. The ESF 24 represented for Mercedes-Benz the conclusion of its involvement in the international ESV research program,
"since this vehicle provides an optimum compromise between the original ESV requirements and our current production car,"
as it was described in a development report of 1975. The ESV program was initiated in 1970 by the US Ministry of Transport and called upon car manufacturers to design safety cars that satisfied extreme demands in terms of active and passive safety.
In the years that followed Daimler-Benz continued to use Britain as a venue to present innovative ideas from technology and research. At the "Drive Electric '80" show, held in London from October13 – 20, 1980, for example, Daimler-Benz unveiled the 307 E electric van to an international public.
In December 2002 DaimlerChrysler finally acquired a majority stake in Mercedes-Ilmor where the engines for the Formula One Silver Arrows are built; then in late September 2005 the company, made up of Ilmor Engineering Ltd. and the German manufacturer, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of DaimlerChrysler. Thereafter, the activities of Mercedes-Ilmor, which was renamed Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines Ltd. in 2005, focused on Formula One activities. The department that dealt mainly with engine programs for the Indy Racing League and NASCAR as well as special engine projects was sold in mid-2005 to Penske Racing, Delaware, Mario Illien and Elizabeth Morgan.

Is it the end of the road for Eminem?Eminem rocketed to fame as a foul-mouthed rapper who frequently outraged great swathes of the US public.
No section of the community was safe from his scathing attacks and biting wit - whether it was mother Debbie, wife Kim, women in general, the media or fellow celebrities.
But seven years after he gate-crashed into the public consciousness with his vitriolic lyrics and liberal use of swear words, Eminem appears to be calling on time on his brash alter-ego, Slim Shady.
The star - who now has bitter family feuds, weapons charges and a stint in rehab under his belt - has admitted fame may not have been worth it.
He is quoted by the InsideCX.com website as saying: "I always wished for this but it's almost turning into more of a nightmare than a dream. I mean, everybody wants to ride on my f***ing coattails. Everybody's wants a piece of my ass. You gotta be careful what you wish for

Firestorm, JB had a fast car, no chance of scoring points and a pretty clear road ahead of him. Setting fast laps is what any such driver would do to keep themselves awake.

Flash Crash anniversary: What's different now?
The two year anniversary of the Flash Crash has come and gone, and despite a lot of chatter, the same market structure essentially remains.
The battle-hardened positions have changed just as little. Both sides are as resolute as ever. Critics remain convinced that high-frequency trading is to blame for the mini-crash.
In the memorable words of Charlie Munger, "Take the rapid trading by the computer geniuses with the computer algorithms. Those people have all the social utility of a bunch of rats admitted to a granary."
He and other remains convinced that high-frequency trading is the root all market evil. I've suggested that the issues are perhaps a bit less cut and dried, and most would agree that there are different types of high-frequency traders, some of which are positive forces in terms of liquidity. What's become apparent lately is that whether you think they add value or not, they are less relevant now than before. Rightly or wrongly, retail investors are staying on the sidelines, and that means less volume for all.
Collectively, the masses have dealt a huge blow to high-frequency trading firms, who depend on retail-driven volume. That's been the biggest change between then and now. In terms of regulation, the most significant developments was the effort to ban flash quotes, which was successful on the surface, though some critics are convinced dark pools have come up with new ways to offer such quotes on the sly.
Another important--but hardly game-changing--development was the rise of enhanced circuit breakers and the coming price bands. Overall, the market structure debate has gotten a bit tired, though the issues remain significant. Reg NMS has come under criticism and remains a huge issue. But I really can't see any significant market structure shifts by the SEC this year. A move to ban maker-taker pricing would be really hard to pull off with uncertain benefits. Same goes for the much-discussed trade-at rule.
So for the foreseeable future, the market we have now is the one we're going to have to live with. -Jim

More than half of the UK population claim to be contemplating revenge and social networks are the preferred platform for getting even, new research has found.
The rise in popularity of Twitter and Facebook has made it easier and quicker to settle scores and seven in 10 (69%) people polled said online tools are responsible for people's thirst for payback.
More than half (52%) said they were currently thinking about getting their own back on someone while almost four in 10 (38%) confessed they had already sought revenge out of anger, jealousy or spite.
Work colleagues are the most popular target, followed by friends and bosses.
Adultery is the transgression most deserving of revenge according to a third of Brits, followed by lying (19%) and stealing (9%).
Research also found that more than one in 10 (13%) believe people in the public eye deserve abuse on social networks if they are perceived to have done something wrong.
Half of the 2,000 people polled to mark the launch of Hell on Wheels, a new Western TV series from TCM charting the vengeful exploits of a band of outcasts in post-civil war America, said they believed most revenge now takes place on Facebook.
The ease of typing a quick message over confronting someone face to face was seen to be the primary reason, with 57% saying it was easier to take revenge online than in person.
A fifth (22%) said their preferred outlet for revenge would be through Facebook.
More than a quarter (28%) of 18-35 year olds admitted to getting their own back after someone posted an embarrassing photograph of them on a social network and 14% of 18-24 year olds said they would be more offended if someone "defriended" them on Facebook than if they stopped speaking to them.
Professor Frank Webster, head of sociology at City University in London, said: "While certainly alarming, these findings are by no means surprising. We have long known that there's a lot of anger bottled up inside people. Exasperated with workmates, frustrated by politicians, infuriated by bankers, envious of shallow celebrities... we all have moments when the blood boils.
"Mostly we keep this pent up, muttering under our breath, issuing a silent curse, dreaming of what we'd do if only we could..."
He added: "Getting back at those who've crossed us and wreaking revenge is so much easier and instantaneous when it involves a Twitter jibe or a Facebook slur. We can even do it anonymously, with little fear of consequences. If, as this survey suggests, online technologies are making revenge more acceptable nowadays, then the consequences of an increasingly networked world may be chilling. Do we want to live in a society where immediate insult, personal ridicule and hate speech finds ready expression and even approval?"

Too many turnovers and the sharp-shooting of the Titans were the main story lines of the night. The Lady Trojans stayed close through the first period, trailing just 11-7 as the first period ended.
The Beeville girls added just four points over the second period while the visitors struck for another 11. It was a 22-11 contest at halftime.
The Titans poured in 17 points in the third quarter and held the Lady Trojans to eight tallies to increase their lead to a comfortable 39-19.
The young Lady Titans continued to press and the Lady Trojans continued to turn the ball over, creating easy opportunities for the visitors. The Titans added 22 fourth quarter points and the Beeville girls were limited to six.
MacKenzie Harvey had eight points to lead the Beeville scoring. Marissa Rodriguez followed with seven tallies while Cheyenne Del Bosque sank six. Amanda Garza added four points.
The Lady Trojan freshman team will take a break for the Christmas holidays and will be back on the court on Jan. 4 in Port Lavaca to take on the Calhoun Sandies. Their next home game will be on Jan. 8 when the Calallen Wildcats come to Beeville.

Topix.net Architecture
byIndustry canon seems to favor RDBMS storage for everything. Logs, centralized user reg, even whole freakin' web crawls. Maybe this is a legacy from Oracle's phenomenal marketing machine that rolled over the valley in the 90's, which eventually (through skillful FUD to VCs I was told) required even little startups to pay enormous sums for databases licenses. Now that great databases like mysql are free, coders are enjoying the luxury of SQL without the heavy price tag. at 11:59 PM
But I'm not much of a database guy. The lesson I took away from watching the horror of Netscape's UREG database being down for two weeks after a RAID enclosure failure was that even fancy databases, expensive hardware and knowledgeable staff weren't a substitute for fail-safe KISS architecture. Folks at a small startup I knew that was acquired by Excite were expecting to finally get some help debugging their sick, monster DB; they were horrified to find Excite's internal systems in even worse shape than their own. A shopping engine I once knew had a nightmarish flow of chained databases, with a slow-boat-to-China 24 hour dataflow through the system end-to-end. The mess was so big, complex and expensive it was impossible to replicate in QA, meaning that testing occurred on the production system (with predictable results).
Studying Unix internals at USL left me with a desire to always optimize apps down to the syscall level (how many bytes could safely be appended atomically to a file per write in SYSV, hmmm). I like flat files, with operations set up so access is fast & failsafe.
Live servers must never wait for disk to serve a page, should try to avoid talking to sockets, and the only safe storage operations are write-with-append and rename(). Never use NFS for anything, mmap is your friend (thank you Google for helping get the kernel bugs out), and design your system so that you can cycle power with zero corruption. Locking is a last resort; locks wreck performance, and are a waste if your app has last-writer-wins semantics anyway or you can use append & rename().
In other words, Hotmail's architecture rather than eBay's. You can bet that Matt Wells is using some creative data structures in Gigablast.
A side effect of this approach, aside from reliability, is that systems built this way tend to be vastly more scalable.
Woz talked at Gnomedex about how being cheap made his designs better. Cheap leads to less parts, which means higher reliability. We use serial ATA and IDE raid. We used to have 3Ware cards driving the RAID, but the 3Ware card turned out to be a point of failure, so we just use the straight Linux RAID software now. Very cheap, very high performance.
Even better is to get rid of the need for RAID at all. If you have to replicate CPUs for high availability anyway, toss out the RAID on each and figure out a live mirroring system. You'll lose redundant spindles, and make the whole system cheaper and more reliable.
Everything on Topix is served from big mmap files made up of compressed data chunks. This supports thousands of hits per second per machine, is infinitely scalable, and we can update all 150,000 site pages every few minutes simply by pushing new wad files to the front ends.
Our search backend isn't quite as cool, involving some legacy code, but it's getting there.
The largest factor in architecture, however, isn't how many machines you need, it's how productive the coders can be extending the system. Fortunately dead-simple architecture tends to be highly productive to code on. With less overall moving parts in the system, there is less mystery, a faster learning curve for new folks, fewer places for bugs and unexpected states to hide, and less lines of code that have to be maintained for a given component.
I've come across other flat-file and KISS adherents, but they're rare. I was told once that the VCs made Filo and Yang buy the Oracle licenses, but they left the software on the shelf, preferring instead to deploy simpler systems built from scratch on BSD. Those guys were smart. :-)
Also check out this amusing article from Smart Money in 2000:
"Google actually built its own database from scratch, and it's a wholly different type of software, called a 'flat file' database, according to Craig Silverstein, Google's director of technology."Those guys are smart too. :-)

Adverse Reactions to Antihistamines More Common Than Thought »
"Although prior studies have suggested that newer antihistamines have few adverse reactions in children, there are some reactions worth noting, according to Tjalling W de Vries, MD, from the Department of Pediatrics, Medical Centre Leeuwarden, the"...
Read the Adverse Reactions to Antihistamines More Common Than Thought article »
Mechanism Of Action
Neostigmine methylsulfate is a competitive cholinesterase inhibitor. By reducing the breakdown of acetylcholine, neostigmine methylsulfate induces an increase in acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft which competes for the same binding site as nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents, and reverses the neuromuscular blockade.
Neostigmine methylsulfate-induced increases in acetylcholine levels results in the potentiation of both muscarinic and nicotinic cholinergic activity. The resulting elevation of acetylcholine competes with nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents to reverse neuromuscular blockade. Neostigmine methylsulfate does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier and, therefore, does not significantly affect cholinergic function in the central nervous system.
Following intravenous injection, the observed neostigmine methylsulfate volume of distribution is reported between 0.12 and 1.4 L/kg. Protein binding of neostigmine methylsulfate to human serum albumin ranges from 15 to 25%.
Neostigmine methylsulfate is metabolized by microsomal enzymes in the liver.
Following intravenous injection, the reported elimination half-life of neostigmine methylsulfate is between 24 and 113 minutes. Total body clearance of neostigmine methylsulfate is reported between 1.14 and 16.7 mL/min/kg.
Renal impairment
Elimination half-life of neostigmine methylsulfate was prolonged in anephric patients compared to normal subjects; elimination half-life for normal, transplant and anephric patients were 79.8 ± 48.6, 104.7 ± 64 and 181 ± 54 min (mean ± SD), respectively.
Hepatic impairment
The pharmacokinetics of neostigmine methylsulfate in patients with hepatic impairment has not been studied.
Elimination half-life of neostigmine methylsulfate in infants (2-10 months), children (1-6 years) and adults (29-48 years) were 39 ± 5 min, 48 ± 16 min, and 67 ± 8 min (mean ± SD), respectively. Observed neostigmine methylsulfate clearance for infants, children and adults were 14 ± 3, 11 ± 3 and 10 ± 2 mL/min/kg (mean ± SD), respectively.
Drug Interaction Studies
The pharmacokinetic interaction between neostigmine methylsulfate and other drugs has not been studied.
Clinical Studies
The evidence for the efficacy of neostigmine methylsulfate for the reversal of the effects of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents after surgery is derived from the published literature. Randomized, spontaneous-recovery or placebo-controlled studies using similar efficacy endpoints evaluated a total of 404 adult and 80 pediatric patients undergoing various surgical procedures. Patients had reductions in their recovery time from neuromuscular blockade with neostigmine methylsulfate treatment compared to spontaneous recovery.

I picked up a vintage (1981) custom built Klein Team Super bike. I have the original build sheet and a post card from Gary Klein's office giving some brief information on the bike. According to the post card, this was one of Gary Klein's first frames he built for sale and was either in 1981 or earlier.
I have uploaded several photos on my flickr account for details. Many of the parts are as listed on the original builder's checklist, but several have been replaced, probably in the 1990's, i.e. front hub, wheels, seat, etc.
The bike is extremely light by 1980's standards and is not painted, but polished Aluminum Magnesium alloy. Apparently the frame has Boron fiber reinforcements as well. I have lots of original paperwork that came with the bike, including period advertising, original catalog and brochure.
I cannot find any information on this exact frame on the internet and am wondering if any bike aficionados might have more information on this. From what I can gather it is extremely rare.
I purchased it as a beautiful piece of art to hang, but am curious about more details.
Check out all the images here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dbphoto...7628656324301/

Is it feasible to introduce two new parameters into the Ogghandler? They would be to view/listen to a chosen portion of the original; something like:
|starttime = 0:00:00<br>
|endtime = 0:00:00
I think this could reduce the amount of space used up by derivatives of larger files with points of interest at a particular portion. An example of what I mean is here:http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Betty_Boop%27s_Bamboo_Isle where many portions exist, and the movie files ''really'' take up a lot of space. In place of this, having a single movie file and just having parameters to designate which portion is shown would greatly reduce the size of files held in Commons. This could also have other applications for verifying particular parts of the media, like in Wikisource. Using Sequencer (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Sequencer) does not solve this problem as it creates separate files. I imagine the specified parameters to either point to the positions (as in having the original file load) or truncate the non-selected parts; either way I think this is a capability that would be beneficial to a lot of projects.

Twist and Shout!
Here at MaeVona you can be sure that all our designs have a style 'twist' that makes them special.
But what about the classic 'twist' engagement ring style itself?
Maeve loves this style tradition and has reinvented it with true MaeVona originality here – (Left to Right) POPPY, SOAY, SEIL, FERN and ROCKROSE.
Each one is so feminine, yet so different from the next – don't you just love them?!
And of course, each comes with a matching dedicated wedding band, with or without pave diamonds for that added sparkle.
No question – these are Twists that Shout!

Stocks tend to be most volatile around earnings season, when a good or bad report can make or break it. However, a good or even great earnings report doesn't necessarily translate into a huge pop for a stock.
During earnings season, BullMarket.com publishes a comprehensive 25- to 40-page Earnings Preview report for the week ahead each Friday.
In its latest earnings preview, BullMarket.com looks at several popular stocks, including Google (GOOG), Kinder Morgan Energy (KMP), Intel (INTC), eBay (EBAY), and Microsoft (MSFT).
Here is just a tiny sample of what BullMarket.com wrote about eBay:
eBay has beaten analyst EPS estimates seven of the past eight quarters, meeting the consensus once. Over that stretch, the stock has risen the next session six of eight quarters. Seasonally, the stock has risen each of the last four years.
Last quarter, the company earned $677 million, or 51 cents per share, versus $570 million, or 44 cents per share, a year earlier. Adjusted earnings rose 14% to $829 million, or 63 cents, from $725 million, or 55 cents, a year ago. This topped analyst expectations for EPS of 62 cents.
Revenue jumped 14% to $3.75 billion, just below the $3.77 billion consensus. Organically, revenue rose 15%.
Looking at segments, the Marketplace business saw revenue rise 13% (13% excluding currency as well) to $1.96 billion.The Payments business saw revenue rise 18% (20% in constant currencies as well) to $1.55 billion. ...
Outside of earnings, eBay CEO John Donahoe has done a tremendous job since taking over the helm of transforming eBay and turning the company into an innovator at the cutting edge of e-commerce and payment technology. However, he's not sitting still, and there are several current initiatives the company is undertaking.
In the Marketplace business, we continue to see the company luring bigger retailers to its site to become an off-price outlet, as well as helping them in other ventures, like this one. Meanwhile, taking PayPal offline and continuing to develop the mobile wallet represents huge opportunities.
The virtual wallet and PayPal's offline push have the biggest potential, but a better search engine could also nicely spur growth for its Marketplace business. After all, not every seller categorizes the same items in the same way, and a search engine that is more intuitive that brings up more relevant items can help lead to more sales. ...
The full BullMarket.com earnings analysis includes a look at historical earnings data and EPS trends for the companies above and more; examines past investor reactions to earnings in various contexts; gives options activity analysis; reviews previous-quarter earnings; and gives an opinion on both what earnings will look like and how investors will react based on the aforementioned data points.
A daily investment service that is committed to creating long-term wealth for its members, BullMarket.com's Recommended List of stocks is up 104.9% from 2009-2012 versus a 57.9% return for the S&P, a 47.0% outperformance, topping the benchmark each year since the start of the Great Recession.

Love this saddle
By Griz
from Boulder, CO
I'm a big guy former college football player, I'm well over 6 feet and 250 lbs. This is the most comfortable saddle I've ever had. My wife rides over 200 miles per week and centuries for fun. I bought her one and now all her riding partners want one also. We ride lots of hills and long climbs (4000 ft. elevation changes on some rides) and this is the first saddle I've had that I'm not sore after long (over 8 hr.) rides.

English Language & Linguistics
Sexism and Genderlect
Sexism refers to the way in which language users refer to differences between the sexes to criticise abuse and condemn. Referring disparagingly to "the little woman" or "only a woman" is criticising someone because of their gender. this is closely related to racism, in which someone is criticised or described primarily in terms of their race or colour instead of being treated as an individual.
Genderlect refers to the variety of language which is characteristic of one or other gender - a male or female language variety. Women for example, tend to refer to colours such as mauve and lilac while men would tend to refer to purple. Women are more subtle than men in their language approaches to others, using conditionals and circumlocutions - "I wonder if we might..." or "Would it be possible to ..."

Grey vs. Nic Hawk – Domino – The Voice Battle – Video
Grey and Nic Hawk sing "Domino" for Team Adam Levine on The Voice 5 Battle Round.
The duo will be mentored by Ryan Tedder and Adam Levine.
"Domino" is a hard song to sing and it seems tailored for Grey. I'm curious to see how this will go.
I think Grey does a better job here but again, it's hard for Nic to sing this one.
Christina Aguilera: Nic, you have that energy level. I thought Grey did a really good job.
Ceelo Green: I'm partial to what Nic is bringing to the stage.
Adam Levine: I think there's a lot that we haven't seen from Grey. I think it played more to Grey's strengths.
Blake Shelton: The value of Nic is priceless. I don't know how you don't go with Nic.
Grey is the winner! She moves to the Knockout Round for Team Adam.
Blake steals Nic Hawk! He is now with Team Blake Shelton.

WebOS: I'm Not Dead Yet! (Or Am I?)
Rumours of webOS' demise may indeed be accurate—but just how accurate is anybody's guess.
HP has become the king of mixed messages as it tries to sort out the last days of Nero's (Leo Apotheker's) rule. Amongst his seemingly mad broad strokes was the killing off of the webOS division, the deep discounting and selling off of an entire inventory of the just-launched TouchPad, and the announcement that HP, the worlds largest PC maker, would no longer be in the PC business.
Exit Apotheker, stage right.
Enter Meg Whitman, of eBay fame, who has been very busy trying to put out the fires and get HP on a cohesive track. Recent announcements make it clear that HP may not step out of the PC game. However, the TouchPad and webOS are still officially dead-ish.
But there is still some life left in them yet: take, for example, a program encouraging ongoing development of webOS applications. Developers have until Nov 18 to sign up for up to 2 Touchpads for "develoment of WebOS apps".
Makes you think that not everyone at HP is ready to bury Web OS just yet.

The Bachelorette
The Bachelorette Season 9 Episode 4 Promo: Speedos and Shade for Days
On The Bachelorette Season 9 Episode 4, Desiree Hartsock takes the boys to
Paris London Jamaica Atlantic City, where they are in for the "ride of their lives" or something (cue amusement park reference here).
And although James Case and Brad McKinzie get 1-on-1s with Des, the remaining 11 guys strip down, heel up, and hip swivel their way through a "Mr. America" competition. Judging the contest are Miss America 2013, the mayor of Atlantic City, and Des. And yes, there is a swimsuit competition.
But for every ab we see in this promo, we see an equal amount of shade being thrown Ben Scott's way. Surprisingly, it's not all coming from Mikey Tenerelli and Mike Garofola this time. Who else is hatin', what does Ben do to deserve it, and what happens next? It's all here.
(Editor's Note: Apologies, but the promo is only the first minute and change. The rest is slow motion revival, for those of you who need to watch it reeeeeeealllllly carefully)

Is ad-supported software the solution to EHR replacement woes?
Stage 2 of meaningful use is right around the corner, and thousands of physicians are fed up with their EHR software as they progress into the age of health information exchange, data analytics, and patient engagement. Many providers are actively looking to replace their EHRs with a more cost-effective substitute that will allow them to succeed in Stage 2 and beyond. But after being burned by heavy fees, uneven functionality, and even developers withholding patient data when a client leaves a contract, where should they turn?
Many providers who have started to fear commitment are turning to ad-supported, cloud-based vendors who promise free or low-fee use of the software in exchange for selling their attention span to pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, and other businesses looking to get their name in front of a captive physician audience. At this point, most physicians have acknowledged that no EHR is ever going to be perfect. So why pay thousands of dollars when you could be frustrated for free?
"Naturally, all products have issues. I won't say that anything is 100% a pleasure to work with," says Dr. A.R. Scopelliti of Monmouth Functional Neurology Center, a Practice Fusion customer. "One thing that's a big key ingredient is that they let us use the software for free. There are a lot of companies that will charge you $400 a month, and I'm sure none of those are going to make me any happier. Keeping in mind that everything is going to have its fair share of problems, this is probably the best scenario in that you're not paying a lot to experience those hardships."
"Doctors are never totally satisfied with their EHR systems," agrees Emily Peters, VP of Marketing Communications at Practice Fusion. "That's just always going to be true. Certainly with our price, we get a little more leniency with our users, because they're not paying a ton of money for the system. These are people who have spent $70,000 or $100,000 on an EHR system, but are deciding that they can't keep throwing good money after bad."
For small practices that are strapped for cash and tired of attempting to upgrade homegrown EHRs that won't even help them qualify for meaningful use, ad-supported software might seem like a dream come true. But providers need to look past the up-front bill and consider how an ad-supported interface is going to affect their workflow. Dr. Scopelliti thinks it's no big deal to have advertising included in his daily experience with his EHR. Getting the software for free is more than enough compensation. "Obviously someone has to be paying for something if they're giving it out for free," he reasons.
"I do click on some of [the ads]," he says. "I've seen some that catch my interest, and I've clicked on them. I'm certainly not offended by them in any way. They're not at all intrusive – it's not like they pop up in the middle of your note or anything like that. They're always in the same place at the bottom. Sometimes they catch your eye with something you're interested in, and if it's something that you're not interested in, it doesn't become a distraction. I don't see it as a problem at all."
"From an advertiser perspective, the functionality of EHRs and EMRs is potentially a gold mine in that you are able to reach physicians during point of care and in a targeted capacity as well," said Jonathon Padron, senior client service analyst for analytics company comScore. But targeting ads means reading and analyzing what's on the screen, and that gets into a tricky area of patient privacy rules.
"The system can identify the condition a physician is looking at and automatically pop up a drug that can treat it," Padron says. The legality of mining patient information for advertising purposes is nebulous at best, and providers should ask where the data is being stored, who owns it, and who has the ability to access it before committing to a cloud-based service.
What do you think about ad-supported software? Is it a viable alternative to traditional EHR offerings? Comment below to join the discussion.

WIll give it a shot today.
It worked from what I can tell just fine. I'm incredibly happy that this is working so well. I imported from a PST data file that I exported before switching the user over to the connector, filtering just on the Calendar folder.
The only hickup I had is that while sync'ing my 20000 message mail folder, I couldnt do the import. That would cause outlook to crash. But if no other sync's were going on, the import worked just fine.
Thanks for the tip KevinH

Why does the original pronunciation (OP) of Shakespeare's words matter? For one thing, two-thirds of Shakespeare's sonnets have rhymes that don't work in modern English.
I wanted my audience to identify with Shylock in a deeply personal way, so much so that they would involuntarily nod and think, "Yes, I understand, I have been there."
Was Shakespeare gay? Stephen Greenblatt says that Shakespeare inhabited a world in which "it is much more possible to express homosexual passion and enact that passion without triggering a social crisis."

The Earl of Oxford rears his ugly head again in a major new Hollywood film that claims Shakespeare never wrote a single word.
Why do Shakespeare's plays have such a dramatic impact on readers and audiences? Philip Davis shows how Shakespeare's use of language creates heightened brain activity, or what he calls "a theater of the brain."
On the anniversary of William Shakespeare's death (and possibly his birthday too), Pulitzer-Prize winning novelist Jane Smiley wrote this personal reflection for Big Think.

The Washington Post writes about the Water Technology and Environment Control Conference (WATEC) held in Tel Aviv last week. Governor Perry of TX and Governor Sandoval of NV led delegations from their states to WATEC, seeking new solutions, ideas & technologies to bring back to their arid states. Governor Perry was especially interested in Israel's reuse of its wastewater, where Israel recycles more than 80% of its effluents. "Israel's exports of water products have tripled in the past five years and now total $2 billion, according to Israel's economic ministry." says the Washington Post. The United States is currently Israel's biggest customer.
Israel is a global leader in desalination of seawater and it's total water consumption remains around the same as 1964 levels; even when the country's population has quadrupled to around 8 million people. There are now 280 water technology companies in Israel.

Children's Museum of PittsburghRead MoreChildren's Museum of Pittsburgh delights children with hands-on learning and interactive exhibits that allow kids to interact with real stuff and do things they wouldn't normally do, such as hammer a nail, build a circuit, and ink a silkscreen. The museum welcomes nearly 250,000 visitors annually, encouraging them to explore its interactive permanent-exhibit areas, which include The Studio, Theater, Waterplay, Nursery, Backyard, and MAKESHOP. MAKESHOP invites young minds and hands to tinker with sewing machines, woodworking, and electronics. Kids craft boats and build fountains in the nearby Waterplay exhibit, and in the Studio they form clay, paint portraits, and create paper from recycled-newspaper pulp. Infants, toddlers, and their families can play in the Nursery, where they build wooden train systems and then roll their trains around, comb colored sand with hand tools atop lighted tables, and ride a seesaw whose motion generates water bubbles. The museum's award-winning, three-story center building is screened by a shimmering wind sculpture and connects two historic structures—the Allegheny Post Office Building and the Buhl Building. In 2006, it became a certified green building and was honored by the American Institute of Architects and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. In 2011, the museum was named one of the 10 Best Children's Museums in the nation by Parents magazine.10 Children's WayPittsburgh, PA US

Coleman Lamps are better known and have been produced in greater numbers than any other make anywhere in the world. It is not possible to give justice here to the range of styles and designs of Coleman products, and I would refer you to the Coleman Collectors Guide, by Carl Tucker and Herb Ebendorf for a wealth of insight into the makers of the most famous of all lamps. The book (ISBN 0-9651407-0-9) is available from the Coleman Museum, Wichita, Kansas, USA.
W.C. Coleman was a typewriter salesman in 1899, but became interested in the "Efficient Lamp" invented by W.H. Irby. Coleman formed his own company, the Hydro-Carbon Light Company, manufacturing a "hollow wire" lighting system around 1905. The first Coleman table lamp was built for marketing in 1909, followed fairly soon after by the Air-O-Lite lamp, and in 1914 by the first lantern.
The company name was changed to The Coleman Lamp Company, and by 1919 the famous Quick-Lite lamps were in production. Instant-lite lamps followed in 1929. During this period Coleman started to market lighting products in Europe. The earliest advertisement I have in my collection is from the Dumfries and Galloway Standard dated October 1922, showing a CQ307 table lamp and an LQ329 lantern.
W. C. Coleman
Lamp and lantern development progressed, and lamps burning kerosene instead of petrol were introduced. In the 1930s, numerous models of cooking ranges and stoves were marketed, but Coleman's venture into electrical appliances was not exactly a brilliant success.
There cannot be many collectors without a model 220 somewhere, either fully refurbished, or lying about the garage or shed. This model started life around 1928, and continued in one version or another until 1963. My first 220 dates from 1935, and was discovered at the Newark collectors fair in almost unused condition, complete with mica globe. It fired up first time with nothing more than two new mantles and a quick check to see that there were no fuel leaks.
After WW2 Coleman continued to expand, and following a resurgence of trade in the 1950s, the company had facilities in the USA and Canada, and licencing agreements for manufacture in Brazil, Mexico, Hong Kong and the Middle East. Lamps were also made in the England before and after the war.
In the UK, Coleman became strong competitors of Tilley in the outdoor market during the 1960s and onwards. Any decent Camp shop in the UK is likely to stock both Coleman and Tilley, both are still popular with real campers, though butane has more or less taken over as the convenience fuel for lamps.
Thanks to Herb Ebendorf and all the other Coleman collectors for their help, especially for their willingness to share knowledge and literature. This page contains only the briefest of comments on Coleman, anyone wanting to discover more can contact the Coleman Museum, Wichita, or the Coleman Collectors group on the internet. You might also like to visit the Coleman Europe web site.

Nymphenburg Palace (Schloss Nymphenburg)
Built as a summer residence for Bavarian kings, the Nymphenburg Palace, or Schloss Nymphenburg, is a magnificent structure artistically shaped by the various Electors over its history. Exhibiting both baroque and rococo styles, the rooms are decorated with fantastic frescos and tapestries. The Gallery of Beauties is lined with portraits of 38 local women Ludwig I found pleasing, and the court stables exhibit ancient carriages in the Marstallmuseum including the Paris Coronation Coach of Emperor Charles VII. There is also a legendary porcelain factory that creates handcrafted products of the highest quality.
Nymphenburg Palace is surrounded by beautiful park gardens and a few smaller palaces, highlighted by a central canal, hunting lodge, Chinese Teahouse, botanical garden, and a natural history museum. The lawns and water features of the park are equally ornate as the magnificent Nymphenburg Palace.

Tunisia: Trabelsi to face player crisis against Rwanda
The friendly confrontation between Tunisia and Rwanda comes up the same day with matchday 17 delayed encounters of the national football championship. This clash puts the coach of the Tunisia national football team, Sami Trabelsi in a critical situation as players of Esperance Sportive Tunis, Etoile Sportive Sahel and Club Africain will be involved in their clubs' duties. Trabelsi, who has been using players from those clubs in the national team, saw his request for the adjournment of various national tournament delayed matches rejected by the country's football federation. Billed for May 27, the friendly encounter is the ultimate for Tunisia ahead of their 2014 world cup qualifier coming June.
