Tom Westman Wins Survivor Palau, Ian Earns Respect
May 15, 2005 11:29 PM by Joe Blackmon
In probably one of the most unusual Survivor moves in history, Ian Rosenberger spent eleven hours and fifty-five minutes standing on a small metal disk only to voluntarily step off and hand victory over to Tom Westman. In the Thursday, May 12 episode of Survivor, Ian promised to try "not to be stupid again" after an error in judgement almost got him voted off.
Unfortunately, Ian didn't have much luck at his goal, and opening his mouth at the wrong time during the Sunday, May 15 finale of Survivor might very well have cost him a million dollars. Before the first immunity challenge, Ian professed "I win the challenge then Tom goes home. I don't win the challenge then all of a sudden Tom's my best friend again."
In one of the most complex immunity challenges ever that involved climbing a tower, swimming, and figuring out the combination to a lock, Tom Westman was victorious. Tom told Jenn that he was staying loyal to his friend Ian, but Ian opens his mouth and tells Tom that it would have been a tough decision if he had won the immunity challenge. This statement opens up the door for Tom to question why he is being loyal to Ian.
At tribal council, the vote ends in a tie between Ian and Jenn. In a fire building challenge, Ian is victorious and Jenn is eliminated from Survivor. After tribal council, Tom rides Ian about plotting to vote him off and tells Ian "to step up and be a man and confess to the whole thing." Ian is reduced to tears over the whole incident.
Which leads up to the final immunity challenge, an endurance challenge to see who can stand on a metal disk the longest. After facing heavy winds and rain, Katie bows out of the challenge after a couple hours. Tom offers Ian a deal saying that he will take Ian with him if Ian steps down. Ian refuses, but after a couple hours he approaches Tom with another deal proposal. Ian offers to step down if Tom will take Katie with him. Ian says he is doing so because earning back the respect of his friends is more important to him than a million dollars. After Ian quits, Tom jokes with him saying, "I was about to fall off too, I'm surprised you did that.
At the final tribal council, the jury members grill Tom and Katie. Katie in particular takes a lot of heat being called everything from pathetic to phony and cruel. Tom also takes some criticism for not staying true to his five-person alliance. In a live vote count in New York, Jeff Probst declares Tom Westman the winner of Survivor: Palau. Jeff also reveals that Guatemala will be the next location for Survivor.

I definetely agree that Tom Westman wins as a sole Survivor. He deserves a million dollar, a hero firefighter has a luck in every challenge. But ian decision earns my respect that somehow, respects are better than a million dollar! Your Great!

Undoubtedly Tom deserved to win and I'm happy for him. Throughout the 39 days Katie was essentially worthless and contributed almost nothing to the tribe. How anyone could justify giving her a vote is well beyond my comprehension.
The main problem that I have with the show is the fact that virtually all the physical challenges give male contestants a considerable edge. I know that CBS tries to insert a bit of a mental challenge to these events but it's still not enough to offset the advantage.
Of course without these type of competitions the show would be pretty dull. So fair or not, I guess that's show biz!!

Sorry for posting again so quickly but I did want to heartily agree with Rod who posted above. Aside from Tom's win, Ian's move was the highlight of the show. He proved to be a class act.

Sorry i gotta say i think Ian is an idiot. Who goes on a game show to make friends? Change the game to Wheel of Fortune and its obvious what a ridiculous move it was. I was hoping that Jeff would have asked the Jury how many people would have voted Ian if it were Ian and Tom sitting in the final 2.
MariaW Says:
May 17th, 2005 at 3:01 am
I think Tom would still have won (and deservedly so!) if he and Ian were in the final 2. While Tom had always defended Ian, Ian had mentioned to others that he would consider voting Tom off. I'm sure Caryn, Jen, Kat, Jenu & Steph would not have got his votes.
He may not have meant it or may not have carried it out but he lacked the maturity to know you should not speculate such things out loud, esp. in a competition.
Or who knows, he may have spent 11+ hours thinking what he would say to each member of the Jury and then he realised he wouldn't win against Tom, so bow out and regain their respect (and ours at teh same time). who knows?!

I'm just amazed at the jerks who berated Tom at tribal council for lying and being underhanded. Give me a break! Like they would have done any different?
By the way, someone told me that they thought that those finishing in the final 4 were all in the money. My impression was that Tom got the million and Katie $100,000 for finishing second and that was it. Can anyone comment?

but rod just as many women have won.in fact the one that wins most immunities rarely wins. tom was most deserving.

Everyone was getting pissed off at Ian for the way he played the game, but if I remember correctly, Katie did the exact same thing in teaming up with Gregg and Jenn on the cruise. And Tom just threatened everyone and stabbed Gregg in the back. Also, Katie was part of the exact same Ian/Katie/Jenn alliance to vote off Tom! I think Ian did the right thing, but he was no worse (and probably was better) than each of the other three. Hyprocritical much?

1965 Ford Ranchero - Reconstructed RancheroWritten by on October 1, 2005 Tom Seymour's '65 Ford Ranchero
We hear plenty of stories from owners about project cars that began as clean drivers. Then somehow the project takes a turn for the expensive and extended build. Guys are often embarrassed to say how much money, time, and energy they've spent to complete these projects. However, in many of the cases, the results are something they can be proud of.
Tom Seymour of Fullerton, California, originally purchased his '65 Ford Ranchero to transport his custom motorcycles. The car/pickup was his daily driver for about seven years. The instant he decided to install a more potent engine and upgrade the suspension, trouble began to fall like softball-size hail. The suspension shop ruined the pickup when they cut out the floor of the unibody while it was jacked up at all four corners. The engine, on the other hand, was a killer early-Ford 302, punched out to 347ci displacement with a Kenne Belle blower stuffing mixture into ceramic-coated combustion chambers.
Somewhat disgusted, Tom yanked the damaged pickup out of the suspension shop and took it to Kevin Bollinger at Performance Restoration Services for a complete makeover. Bollinger proceeded to reconstruct the chassis from 2x3-inch mild steel tubing, installing a Mustang II IFS and a 9-inch Ford rearend with a four-link suspension.
The body was given the full lift treatment as well, shaving the door handles and making all the door gaps uniform. Other little street rod touches include smoothing the bumpers (removing bolts) and building wheel tubs into a custom bed floor. The rear wheelwells were also opened up to create room for 20-inch wheels and rubber with a little bit of sidewall.
After the body panels were as straight as an arrow, well-known Westminster, California, painter Pete Santini sprayed House of Kolor Black over the entire body and masked for Black Cherry flames over the front panels. In the bright sunlight the cherry flames are quite visible. But in even light or indoors, they are more subtle.
We don't often see such a clean Ranchero street rod pickup, let alone one with this much attention to the little details that make it more than a quality restoration. This pickup hauls well and looks good doing it! And it has all the creature comforts to make it a favorite when it's time to choose which one of his over half-dozen rides to use for the day. Tom's reconstructed Ranchero is another fine example of turning lemons into lemonade.

White-face Auto Meter analog gauges mounted in a polished stainless steel panel keep Tom informed of engine conditions.Hand-built inner fender panels are just the tip of the iceberg. The engine's alcohol/water Ram Air injection has custom stainless steel air ducting, stainless radiator hoses, a hand-built aluminum master cylinder, and a clutch reservoir. The engine produces an estimated 550 hp.The bottom is as well-detailed as the top. Valley Head Service handled the engine build. Hooker Headers flow exhaust to stainless steel tubing.We've never seen a mere Ford Falcon Ranchero with this level of body and paint preparation before. The bed floor is reinforced to carry motorcycles. Check out the size of the wheel tubs; they accommodate 20x10-inch American Racing Torque Thrust IIs in the rear, 17x8 in front.The House of Kolor Black Cherry flames, applied by Pete Santini, are more noticeable in bright sunlight.

I'd like to run a very simple bot written in java on my VPS. I want to limit jvm memory to let's say 10MB (I doubt it would need any more).
I'm running the bot with the following command:
java -Xms5M -Xmx10M -server -jar IrcBot.jar "/home/jbot"
top shows that actual memory reserved for java is
144m (or am I interpreting things wrong here?).
13614 jbot 17 0 144m 16m 6740 S 0.0 3.2 0:00.20 java
Any ideas what can be wrong here?
Java version "1.6.0_20" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode)
BTW. I'm running CentOS - if it matters.
EDIT: Thank you for your answers.
I can't really accept any of them, since it turns out the problem lies within the language i choose to write the program, not the JVM itself.

A BUSINESS conglomerate with 4,799 establishments in its fold and an estimated Rs 1,50,000 crore in assets, and a market regulator dogging it since September 29, 2009.
Late March 3 evening, as 65-year-old Subrata Roy was escorted into a 5x12 cell in Ward 4 of Tihars Jail No. 3 after the Supreme Court consigned him to judicial custody, it marked the beginning of the end of one of the longest-running battles involving a prominent corporate house and the countrys capital market regulator.
Interestingly, between the time that SEBI first initiated the inquiry four years ago and Roys eventual arrest, there has not been a single instance of an investor in either of the two Sahara firms under watch actually filing a police complaint or going to court. Roy would want it to be seen as reflective of the groups beautiful story which, he told the Supreme Court, would prompt it to fall in love with Sahara. While the plea evidently did not cut much ice with the judges, there is little doubt that Roy himself looks back with great affection on the empire that he built from scratch, with himself as the guardian of the worlds largest family.
Nothing epitomises Roys preoccupation with his humble past more than the Lambretta scooter that stands enclosed in a cubicle in Lucknows Sahara Shaher a throwback to how it all started over three-and-a-decades ago in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradeshs hardscrabble east.
The family is said to have its roots in Araria, Bihar, but was settled in Gorakhpur. Roy stayed with his parents and siblings in a rented house in Turkmanpur area. The eldest son, he did a diploma course before being forced to take up work due to the death of his father Sudhir Chandra, who worked in a sugar mill. Roy tried his hand first at making salted snacks, apparently supplying them on the Lambretta under a venture called Jaya Products. He then dabbled in yet another venture, along with wife Sapna Roy. Both ventures failed.
In 1978, Roy set up Sahara. The Gorakhpur para-banking venture focused on small investors, such as tea-stall owners and rickshaw-pullers, who set aside as little as Re 1 a day and chose to entrust the money to Sahara India Financial, the groups flagship firm. In a matter of three decades, it grew into Indias largest residuary non-banking company.
While financial details of this growth have never been officially issued, Sahara,

Well, it wouldn't be Friday if we didn't show some pics of Harry Styles and Liam Payne for you 1D fans.
The boy banders were out in London yesterday to attend the Modest Management summer party at The Vineyard, and we must say both looked trés-hot! Harry went with his usual rock-n-roll style while Liam opted for an urban look. Although we love both of them, where the heck were the other One Direction members!?
I mean, two out of five ain't bad, but its been a while since we've seen Zayn, Louis, and Niall! Oh well, hopefully we'll get a glimpse of them soon since the crew is currently on tour.
There's something else bothering us here though. Is anyone else getting tired of Harry Styles' hair? Personally, I feel like he would be 10 times hotter if he just cleaned it up a bit. The chances of this happening are pretty slim, but I can dream right? Hopefully you One Direction fans don't kill me for that comment.
Launch the gallery to check out more pictures of Harry Styles, his hair, and Liam Payne live it up in London!

The firing of a Kinston-based state trooper has been upheld by the State Personnel Commission.
Ronald Ezzell, Jr was let go for showing an obscene image to a teller at the State Employees Credit Union last October.
Ezzell was a heicopter pilot with 19 years with the Highway Patrol.
Earlier this month an administrative law judge upheld the decision to fire Ezell as well.
Previous Story
A judge has upheld the firing of a Highway Patrol trooper from Eastern Carolina.
Administrative Law Judge Fred Morrison, Jr. said the state's decision to fire former Kinston-based trooper Ronald Ezzell, Jr. "should be left undisturbed."
"While I may have decided to impose a lesser sanction based upon the maxim, 'Justice tempered with mercy,' for a veteran trooper, I am not convinced that these officials acted erroneously," Morrison wrote in his decision.
Ezzell admitted that showing an obscene picture to a bank teller from the drive-through lane was a joke in bad taste, but he didn't think he should lose his job over it. Ezzell was in a marked highway patrol car at the time. Brittany Dunn, the woman working at the branch of the State Employees Credit Union branch in Kinston testified against Ezzell at his appeal hearing last month.
Ezzell lost his job in March. He worked for the Highway Patrol for 19 years.
The North Carolina Personnel Commission will now make the final decision about Ezzell's job.

"The first founder of Tulsa thus rests in an unknown grave near the center of the present city." --Angie Debo, Tulsa: From Creek Town to Oil Capital
When the Lochapoka were removed from their Alabama home, Chief Achee Yahola led them to present-day Tulsa, and he guided them during the difficult years that followed removal.
Debo says that the name "Yahola" was given to young men who had won recognition in war.
In the Dictionary of French Place Names in The U.S.A., René Coulet Du Gard writes that the first Frenchmen who came to the United States can be divided into three categories: the mainly Canadian-born trappers and wood scouts or "coureurs des bois," the missionaries, and those serving the House of France.
Barney S. Cleaver, the first African-American policeman in Tulsa, was born in Newbern, VA in 1865. In Newbern, he attended public school until he was fifteen. He then moved to Charleston, WV where he initially worked on a steamer and later worked in the coal mines. As an Oklahoma & Gulf Coal Co. employee, he served as an immigrant agent, bringing more than four thousand employees from West Virginia to Oklahoma.
James Leighton Avery, son of Cyrus Avery, graduated from Tulsa's Central High School in 1921. The caption accompanying his senior photograph reads, "Page the debater. Here we have him. In the winter he is a most polished 'city-slicker.' In the summer he changes to agriculturist on his own farm. Distinguishing trait--Oratory. Pet peeve--Spelling. Disposition--Obliging."

Overheard at the water cooler: "Well, company X allows this traffic, why
don't we? They are much larger than us and probably understand security
*much* better than we do. Since they think it's safe, shouldn't we think
it's safe, too?" I'm still looking for wording used to combat the
cluelessness of such mindset in both our own companies, as well as
companies that are creating situations that make us run web traffic on

PUBLISHED Wed Aug 25 10:10:00 EDT 2010 0 1 / 8 Eyes of the Tiger A Sumatran tiger faces a camera trap head on in Kerinci Seblat National Park, on the Indonesian island of Sumatra (see map), in a May 2007 photo. One of the last havens for the Sumatran tiger—listed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)—the park was the site of a camera-trap survey from 2004 to 2009, one of the most extensive such projects ever conducted, conservationists say. (See more tiger pictures.)During the project, a team from Fauna and Flora International (FFI) and the University of Kent's Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology photographed 35 separate tigers out of a likely total population of about 500. Pictures of the tigers—as well as some other forest species captured during the project—were released for the first time last week by FFI. (Related pictures: "Cameras 'Trap' Hairy-Nosed Otter, More Rarities.")Unlike the well-known subspecies the Bengal tiger and Siberian tiger, Sumatran tigers "have not achieved international fame, and this is partly because it is so difficult to document this equatorial species hiding in lush evergreen rainforest," FFI's Matt Linkie said via email. (See a rare video of tiger cubs filmed in Sumatra earlier this year.)Indonesia's two other tiger subspecies—the Bali tiger and Javan tiger—are both extinct, and there is "grave potential for history to repeat itself" with the Sumatran tiger, which is illegally hunted on the island, Linkie said. (Take a big cats quiz.)But there's hope, he added—FFI has set up five anti-poaching teams across the national park.(Read about how to save tigers with National Geographic's Big Cats Initiative.)—Christine Dell'Amore Photograph courtesy Fauna & Flora International/DICE "Lost" Deer Found The Sumatran muntjac deer species had been "lost" in the remote mountains of western Sumatra's Kerinci Seblat National Park until it was found in a hunter's snare in September 2007, as seen in a previously released photograph. (Related picture: "'Extinct' Bird Seen, Eaten.")Originally discovered in 1914, the deer had not been seen since the early 1920s—despite the 3.2-million-acre (1.3-million-hectare) park's rapid conversion from dense forest to farmland, which is happening at a rate of one percent a year, according to FFI's Linkie.The park is known as the attic of Sumatra, Debbie Martyr, head of FFI's program in Kerinici Seblat, noted by email, "because you can spend years in here looking for stuff and keep coming across all sorts of interesting things you never dreamed were there or had entirely forgotten about." Photograph courtesy D. Martyr, FFI/KSNP Cuckoo Surprise After a 90-year hiatus, the Sumatran ground cuckoo was captured by a camera trap in May 2006 (pictured in a previously released photograph). Until that point, the bird hadn't been seen since its discovery in 1916. (Related picture: "Rare Cuckoo's 'Scream' Recorded for First Time.")The camera traps also unintentionally caught bird poachers roaming the park, FFI's Linkie noted.In one set of photographs, a hunter "obviously noticed the flash, because in the next frame, [he] passes the camera in the same direction, but hopping by in his underpants with a cigarette in his mouth!" Linkie said."We posted his picture on an online-dating website, but no offers yet," he quipped. Photograph courtesy FFI Tapir Pair A pair of Asian tapirs are caught during a nighttime jaunt in Kerinci Seblat National Park in September 2006.Listed as endangered by IUCN, the Asian tapir—also known as the Malaya tapir—has declined throughout its Southeast Asian range over the past 30 years. (See a picture of a baby Asian tapir at the San Diego Zoo.)The species' decline is driven primarily by loss of forest habitat to palm oil plantations and other human land use, according to IUCN. Photograph courtesy Fauna & Flora International/DICE Cloudy Hunter The Sunda clouded leopard (pictured in a December 2006 photo released last week) of the Southeast Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra (map) was shown to be a separate species in 2007.Previously the cat—now listed as vulnerable by IUCN—was believed to be of the same species as the mainland clouded leopard.In decline due to deforestation, adult Sunda leopards now number fewer than ten thousand, according to IUCN. Photograph courtesy Fauna & Flora International/DICE Hunted for Hats Widespread throughout Southeast Asia, the rhinoceros hornbill (pictured in Kerinci Seblat in July 2005) is dwindling and is listed as near threatened by IUCN.In Borneo, for instance, the bird is shot for food and hat feathers by local tribes, according to the conservation organization.(Related: "Puppets Help Raise Africa's Abandoned Hornbill Chicks.") Photograph courtesy Fauna & Flora International/DICE Golden Cat An Asiatic golden cat pauses after a camera trap goes off in a July 2006 picture. (Related pictures: "Seven Cat Species Found in 1 Forest—A Record.")Critters not caught on camera also pestered the team during their five-year survey, according to FFI's Linkie. For instance, porcupines ate one of the camera sensors and repeatedly raided food supplies during the dead of night, he said.And, he added, "ants are always a nightmare." Photograph courtesy Fauna & Flora International/DICE Tiger Caught in the Act In all, 189 tiger photos were captured during the survey (pictured, a tiger in December 2006)—making the Kerinci Seblat tiger population one of the best studied and best known among Sumatran tigers, conservationists say. (Visit National Geographic's Year of the Tiger site.)"One of the real joys of camera trapping is that you get to identify individuals ... and, as important, get to see what was making the rustle in the undergrowth," FFI's Martyr said.For instance, one FFI photographer discovered that a big cat had been following him as he set camera traps, Martyr said."He activated the camera, walked off, [and a] tiger walked through—not once but repeatedly, and always about four to five minutes behind him."

Farms have been traditional play settings for preschoolers, often prebuilt with miniature animals to move around for pretend play. This 121-piece set combines construction play with pretend in a child friendly way. The big chunky pieces are flexible and can be used to assemble farm buildings to house the cows, horse, and cat that come with the set and to incorporate some of the blocks with images of other critters. The farmer and his helper can drive the tractor, use the pitchfork for hay and open and close the working barn doors and windows. To top it all off there is a crank and pulley for lifting hay into the loft. To introduce a big set like this and to get the most mileage, adults often need to sit a while to help with assembling and getting the dramatic play started. This kind of play develops children�s dexterity, patience, language, spatial skills and pretend power�so many important ingredients of learning. Our test family�s two year old doesn�t get the concept of building a farm yet, but he likes putting the pieces together and pulling them apart. He likes the animals and vehicle and playing with the separate pieces. He does get frustrated when he cannot get the pieces together or apart; still, his dad feels they are helping his develop his fine motor skills.

I'll start with the parts / equipment needed and what they cost.
2x's aqualifters .....around $12 each ($24)
2x's DIGITAL lamp timers....around $12 each at walmart. ($24)
THE LAMP TIMERS HAVE TO BE DIGITAL!!! The one's with the little tabs will not work for this application.
8'ish of airline tubing.....I don't remember exactly, but I'll guess it cost $8.
2x's airline ball valves....about $3
containers for your two part (optional, you could just use the ones they come in if you want).........$5 for two one liter containers with a lid at wal mart.
test kit vial (API works well since it's set at 5ml).
Total cost (estimate)...... <$60.
Here's how it all works.
First, you need to know how much two part solution your tank consumes in a 24 hour period. My tank requires 25mL of each part so we'll use that as an example.
Plug one of the aqualifters into one of the digital timers. Now connect a piece of airline tubing to the nipple on the aqualifter that sucks air in. This piece of airline tubing will be placed in whatever container you decide to use for each of your two parts. Next connect another piece of airline tubing into the nipple on the aqualifter that pumps air out. At the end of this piece you will need to attach the airline ball valve.
Now that you've got it all put together it's time for the "hard part". Set the timer to turn one for ONE MINUTE, and then turn back off. While the pump is on adjust the valve so that it restricts the flow quite a bit. Basically you want to adjust the flow rate until it will only let the pump produce 5mL in one minute. This part will take a few tries to get it dialed in perfectly (took me about 5 or 6 attempts), you just have to be patient.
Now that you've got the pump dialed in it's time to set your lamp timer. As stated earlier, my tank requires 25mL of each part daily. So I have my timer set to turn on and off for one minute 5x's throughout the night to dose for Alk. I don't remember at exactly waht times I have the timer set to dose, but it's about every 2 or so hours. I have it set to dose throughout the night to help prevent Ph swings, which works outstanding I might add!!
In case you guys are wondering, the lamp timer can turn on and off up to 6x's a day. Whenver my SPS and clams are starting to use more than 25mL of each part daily adjustments to the system won't be a problem at all. I'll simply reset one of the times that the timer turns on and off from one minute to 2 minutes. Thus dosing 10mL. You could apply the same prinicple until you reach the desired dosing amount.
For Ca I do basically the same thing as above except I have that pump set to only turn on and off once a day. It turns on a 3:00pm daily for 5 minutes, dosing the full 25mL at once.
I hope that makes sense, and that some of you guys can use this sytem. It's worked quite well for me and my tank for well over 6 months. My readings fro dkh stay extremely consistant at 10, and Ca at 440-460 (API test kits). According to the data log on my Acjr. Ph doesn't fluctuate more than .12 in a 24 hour period.
This should be common sense, but I'll go ahead and state it anyway. MAKE SURE THE THE OUTLET NOZZLE IS PLACED HIGHER THAN THE LIQUID LEVEL IN YOUR 2 PART RESERVOIR CONTAINERS!!! If not then once the pump turns on for the first time it will start a syphon and drain the resErvoir......this will obviously cause BIG problems. Be careful!!
I've been using this system for close to a year without any problems.

In some of the newer Linux releases, when setting up the filesystem they default to ext4. Such is the case of Ubuntu 10 0 4 LTS. Further reading suggest benefits of the ext4 filesystem.
Now, the zimbra FOSS 7 documentation says ext3.
Should I be in conflict ? Should I go with ext3 which is an older filesystem for a newer Linux server or ext4 newer filesystem and benefits of the new ext4.
So which one should be used ?

Supermodel Gisele Bündchen talks about being a new mother in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar. She found breastfeeding to be essential to getting her figure back and thinks it should be mandatory for all new mothers.
"I think breastfeeding really helped (me keep me figure)," she said, whose son Benjamin is 7 months. "Some people here (in the US) think they don't have to breastfeed, and I think 'Are you going to give chemical food to your child when they are so little?' I think there should be a worldwide law, in my opinion, that mothers should breastfeed their babies for six months."
She also talks about how she prepared for her natural delivery through meditation. Uh-huh.
"It prepared me mentally and physically. It's called 'labour' not 'holiday' for a reason, and I knew that. You want to go into the most intense physical experience of your life unprepared? That doesn't make any sense to me. Then I was ready and I thought OK, let's get to work'. I wasn't expecting someone else to get the baby out of me."
I love that she comes off like a she's a bitch and that she's like the queen high & mighty about birthing babies.

I believe this is equivalent to saying that $T$ is not bijective, but I am not sure how to show that injectivity implies the absence of surjectivity and the other way around (or if this is even the right way to approach the problem).

Private cloud market to grow 9 percent annually through 2016, says TechNavio
The global private cloud market is predicted to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.98 percent through 2016, according to the latest data from TechNavio.
The research firm cited the reduced costs of private cloud overall as one of the factors contributing to market growth. However, the high initial costs of private cloud adoption might put a damper on that growth, the research firm judged.
The market also has seen a move toward hybrid cloud computing models combining private and public cloud, TechNavio noted.
Key private cloud vendors examined by TechNavio include Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN), Hewlett Packard (NYSE: HPQ), IBM (NYSE: IBM), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and VMware (NYSE: VMW). Other vendors examined in the report include Salesforce.com, Red Hat, Dell (Nasdaq: DELL), Citrix Systems (Nasdaq: CTXS), Rackspace, CSC (NYSE: CSC) and EMC (NYSE: EMC).
Reflecting the growing popularity of the private cloud, Dell previewed its OpenStack-based private cloud, Cloud Dedicated, at the Dell World Conference last month, according to a report by DatacenterDynamics.
Dell is looking to attract larger enterprises to its private cloud offering, arguing that its platform offers enterprise-level security and compliance features, the report said.
Dell is a long-time member of the OpenStack organization set up by Rackspace and NASA to promote open-source cloud platforms.
According to the OpenStack website, its effort "aims to deliver solutions for all types of clouds by being simple to implement, massively scalable, and feature rich. The technology consists of a series of interrelated projects delivering various components for a cloud infrastructure solution."

Ann Sieck wants to make sure people with disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs, can find parks and trails they can enjoy.
This small park is sandwiched between downtown Martinez and the Carquinez Strait. Freighters slide by and the Benicia Bridge gleams across the water, while trains rumble between marsh and town, stopping at the AmTrak station next to Granger's Wharf. The wetlands here are a human construct, developed in 2002 to alleviate flooding and as mitigation for the new Carquinez Bridge. But its 2 or 3 mile maze of trails is an inviting place to watch waterfowl. Pickleweed Boardwalk Trail crosses the marsh to an arched wooden bridge over Alhambra Creek, then wanders near the weedy land's edge. Look for scaups and buffleheads in winter, or even secretive black rails. Low tide exposes mud flats where avocets and willets forage.
Here what seems like the skeleton of a whale lies half-buried in muddy sand. It turns out to be the remains of another creature of the sea: the Forester, a four-masted schooner that hauled lumber and other freight around the Pacific through the first quarter of the 20th century, and later was retired to Martinez by her captain, who lived on board until 1947. Despite preservation efforts, the vessel burned almost to the waterline in 1975. Only its keel and ribs–and a plaque telling its history–remain.
Getting there: Take the Alhambra Valley Road exit from Highway 4, go north to Escobar. Turn right on Escobar, right on Ferry St., and left into the park. Or ride Amtrak to Martinez; the station is at the park entrance. No fee; bikes are permitted on trails; dogs are not.

Information about Lumbini
Where is Lumbini, Where is the birth place of Buddha? Location of Lumbini in Nepal? Lumbini, the fourth largest tourist destination in Nepal located in the south-central Terai of Nepal, situated in the foothills of the Himalayas. For millions of Buddhists the world over, it evokes a kind of holy sentiment akin to the significance of Jerusalem to Christians and Mecca to Muslims. Lumbini is the place where Lord Buddha – the apostle of peace, and the Light of Asia – was born in 623 B.C. In historical terms, the region is an exquisite treasure-trove of ancient ruins and antiquities, dating back to the pre-Christian era. The site (Lumbini Grove) was described as a beautiful garden in the Buddha's time and still retains its legendary charm and beauty. Both the Shakyas and Kolias Clans owned the garden and its tranquil environs at the time of Lord Buddha's birth. King Suddhodana, father of Buddha was of the Shakya Dynasty belonging to the Kshatriya or Warrior Caste.
Buddha, Known as the Lord of Asia, was born in Lumbini during the full moon day in the month of Baisakh in 623 BC. He was born under a sal (Shorea robusta) tree when Mayadevi was going to her maternal town on the occasion of delivery. Suttanipata has mentioned the earliest description of the birth of Buddha in Lumbini. Just after the birth of Buddha he took seven steps towards north and, looking in all directions, he declared that "I am the foremost of all creatures to cross the riddle of the ocean of the existence, this is my last birth and here after, I will not be born again".
For centuries, Buddhists over the world knew that the general area of Lumbini was where the Lord was born. In the words of those famous Chinese pilgrims of antiquity, Huian Tsang and Faeihan, 'Lumbini -where the Lord was born – is a piece of Heaven on Earth, where one could see the snowy mountains amidst a splendid garden, embedded with stupas and monasteries!' However, the exact location remained uncertain and obscure until 1 December 1886 when a wandering German archaeologist Dr. Alois A. Fuhrer came across a stone pillar and ascertained beyond doubt it was indeed the birthplace of Lord Buddha. Since that day it has become a focal point for hundreds of thousands of pilgrims.

Good Monitor for cheap
This review is from: lenovo ThinkVision LT1952p Black 19" 5ms Height Adjustable Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 1000:1
Pros: Nice color, nice portability, monitor pops out of stand easily, only 4 screws on the back to unhook the bottom, Nice flat stand to keep the monitor in place (I had a small earthquake around here and the monitor barely moved) Buttons are a nice quality for how much this monitor is, Nice packaging kept it all safe
Cons: The monitor took an extra week to get here (Bought it a week before Christmas, hoping it would arrive for Christmas) It was slightly dirty when i got it (Since its refurbished i thought it was okay, but then again i thought they cleaned the monitors)

Putin's praise for Obama came after the new 'president' announced that he would not continue President Bush's plan to bring freedom to Europe by instilling fear and paranoia in the Godless Soviet atheists.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - We all know that Arkansas' weather is, well, wishy-washy, to say the least. A perfect way to say on top of our state's weather is on Twitter.
Twitter is described as short bursts of inconsequential information. It's a multi-stop shop for folks looking for information in chronological order. Though often thought as by non-users as a place where people post every little thing they do, wear, eat, and watch on TV, it's also an amazing and fast form of communication.
THV11 and all of the anchors, reporters, and many producers use Twitter as an avenue to reach viewers quickly. Throughout the day, you'll see story updates, photos, weather information, and more.
With winter weather in Arkansas pending, now could be a perfect time to join Twitter, and if you decide to join in, we've posted a list of who to follow at the bottom of this page.
Meteorologists Ed Buckner, Tom Brannon, and Sarah Fortner, use Twitter throughout the day, often when they aren't even in the building, updating Arkansans with the latest weather information. Twitter is particularly useful if your power is out, and you still have smartphone use. Through Twitter, you can stay on top of watches, warnings, school closings, and more.

Lawmakers, advocates introduce stun gun bill
MONTPELIER — A group of Vermont lawmakers and the heads of disability and civil rights groups are pushing legislation that would create new rules governing police use of electronic stun guns.
They held a news conference on Tuesday to unveil a bill that would set up statewide training and rules for law enforcement officers using Tasers and similar devices.
The effort follows the death last year of Macadam Mason, a Thetford man who died of a heart attack after a state trooper hit him with a Taser.
Attorney General William Sorrell and the Orange County state's attorney announced last month that Senior Trooper
David Shaffer was justified using the stun gun on Mason last June because the distraught man failed to comply with orders and made threatening movements toward the trooper.MORE IN This Just InThe National Retail Federation, based in Washington, D.C., recently named Rep.Peter Welch, D-Vt.

The non-monster defendant in the Gosnell trial
PHILADELPHIA—The forgotten co-defendant in abortionist Kermit Gosnell's murder trial is a 56-year-old woman who comes into court every day, sits quietly, and looks mortified to be there. By her dress and demeanor you would more likely expect to see her scanning your library card than embroiled in a homicide case.
Eileen O'Neill, who worked upstairs at Gosnell's Women's Medical Society doing family practice check-ups, and not downstairs where all the gruesomeness took place, is being charged with participating in a corrupt organization and "theft by deception"—basically impersonating a doctor and getting paid or billing insurance companies. O'Neill had been licensed in two other states but never in Pennsylvania.
Her attorney, James Berardinelli, brought in a revolving door of character witnesses, including O'Neill's two brothers, an aged mother, and an award-winning doctor who had taken on the defendant in a preceptorship and liked her well enough to say to the court, "I wish I could hire her now!" Asked whether they had known O'Neill as a "peaceful, honest, law-abiding citizen," friends, employers, and most former patients alike voiced an enthusiastic, "Yes," adding words like "compassionate" and "caring." (Only one friend well-meaningly added that O'Neill lacked "common sense.")
You look at O'Neill and ask yourself, "What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?" By all accounts, she was uncomfortable at Gosnell's business for a long time, sometimes sharing with other staff members her disdain for the stream of "pill mill" patients, whom she called "seekers." (The facility was first raided for drugs, not bad abortions.) More than one erstwhile patient said they knew all along that their "doctor" wasn't licensed, but didn't care; she did well by them. (One exception was a woman disgruntled that O'Neill had misdiagnosed her multiple sclerosis.) The two defense attorneys painted a picture of a medical oasis for poor inner city women sans insurance and better options. Judge Jeffrey Minehart granted Berardinelli's motion to drop six of the nine charges against his client.
But this is no Mother Teresa lured willy-nilly into the Dark Side. Notwithstanding the alleged "common sense" deficiency, Eileen O'Neill was no stranger to the surgical demise of babies, having interned at abortion practices in Texas and Louisiana. The woman is part of the abortion industry, if only on the periphery as concerns the West Philadelphia Women's Medical Society. Though a two-bit character in The Gosnell Show, she at least falls under the Scripture's solemn warning about the company we keep:
"Do not be deceived: Bad company ruins good morals" (1 Corinthians 15:33).
"Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned?" (Proverbs 6:27)
We get confused. O'Neill looks just like us, and this is uncomfortable. Would that she didn't seem like the woman next door. Would that we could demonize her. Note to the uninitiated: When you sit in on a trial of unspeakable horrors, one of the first things you learn is that the defendants are often not psychopaths but ordinary people who find themselves in positions in which they think their jobs are normal. Thus the "banality of evil" noted by author Hannah Arendt regarding Adolf Eichmann and the Nuremberg trails.
Furthermore, what you and I may consider a good person and what God considers a good person are not the same thing. Our standards are just so low! If someone is nice to us and we ingratiate our way into his inner ring, we think him a fine fellow. The verdicts of heaven will be perfect.
But in the justice soon to be meted out on Filbert Street in Philadelphia, we now await the closing arguments and Monday and then the decision of seven women and five men as to whether Kermit Gosnell deserves to die, and whether the lack of a proper license by a fairly competent medical practitioner named Eileen O'Neill constitutes theft by deception.

I never know what to write.
Hey all, I live in RI. I just joined this forum. I looks better and more suited to my needs than the others I have looked at. I have been road riding for about 7 months. I used to ride my mountain bike (on the road), I did this for about 5 years when I lived up in Boston. Then last summer I finally got hooked on the Tour de France and have proceeded to have all sort of Lance fantasies (just the ones that I am Lance...I think there would have been an "I want to be like Lance" commercial, not Michael).
So I bought myself a Schwinn Supersport GLX, which was so expensive I promptly named it Precious. And ever since that and the purchase of my odometer I have been hooked/obsessed.... I am going to ride my first century in September and I am highly excited, nervous, exhausted and tired already.... It could be a long summer.
Enough babbling.
Hope y'all have a lovely day.

I'm using this FQL query to return the different branches of a company:
SELECT name, location.street, location.city, location.state, fan_count, talking_about_count, were_here_count FROM page WHERE CONTAINS("Hilton") AND strpos(name, "Hilton") = 0 AND location.street > 0 AND location.city > 0 AND location.state > 0
I get a returned list of companies when I submit the query on the Graph API Explorer page.
I need to import these results into excel, so I'm also using VBA to send a Rest Query to the Facebook API (http://graph.facebook.com/fql?q=).
I'm using the same query in both cases, but the problem is that the result from the Rest Query sent from excel is usually missing a few branches that are listed in the results on the actual Facebook page. Does anyone know why there is a slight difference between the two results?
