London: Australian hooker Michael Monaghan has been appointed co-captain of English Super League club Warrington alongside England forward Ben Westwood.
The former Manly and Canberra utility will step into the role made vacant by Adrian Morley's move to Salford and the retirement of Brett Hodgson and Lee Briers, who led the side in Morley's absence.
"Both are very highly respected players within our group," Wolves coach Tony Smith said.
"They both bring something a little different to the table in terms of leadership and do it in different ways but I think they complement each other very well.
"It's an opportunity for both of them to lead the way and share some of their experiences and wisdom within our group.
"They are going to be heavily supported by a number of other players who show great leadership.
"We are making them our club captains but it doesn't necessarily mean that they will be our on-field captains on a weekly basis.
"We have a number of candidates who may fill that role at different stages but they are certainly seen as our two ambassadors and role models for the younger people within the club.
"They are the ones we feel best represent the qualities that we are looking for in the leadership of our crew."
Meanwhile, former England captain Jamie Peacock has shelved his retirement plans after signing a new two-year contract with Leeds.
The ex-Bradford skipper, who turned 36 in December, had indicated 2014 would be his last season when he signed a new two-year deal in March 2012, shortly before stepping down from the international scene.
However, the front-rower produced some of his best form last year and on Monday agreed to a contract extension that will take him to the end of 2015, when he intends to retire, just short of his 39th birthday.

As we approach the 2009 state income tax return deadlines of March 15th, April 15th and May 15th, I wanted to provide a brief list of some items to watch out for:
- Service companies should be aware of the different state apportionment rules.
- Texas and Michigan should be reviewed very closely due to the volume of notices most companies received last year.
- Treatment of Disregarded entities by Michigan, and Michigan's Unitary test.
- Wisconsin combined reporting rules in effect for 2009.
- Treatment of COD income by states – apportionable income? Included in apportionment factor?
- For Minnesota residents, cannot take a credit for taxes paid to Texas, Michigan and Ohio.
- Most corporations are not subject to the Ohio Franchise tax anymore (for tax years ending in 2009 and beyond). The Ohio CAT tax is now fully phased-in.
- Ohio S Corporation Status Filing requirement (FT-1120S) no longer required to be filed.
- State depreciation adjustments (bonus depreciation and Sec. 179).
- Composite return requirements and nonresident shareholder agreement requirements.
- California $800 minimum tax due with 1st quarter 2010.
- California LLC fee estimate for 2010 due 6/15/2010.
- Remember: CA LLC Fee is based only on California receipts, not everywhere gross receipts.
Need a Second-Opinion?
As your company or your clients get closer to the filing deadline, please contact me at [email protected] with any questions.
I am available to review any state income tax returns, provide a consultation on any state income tax FIN 48 reviews, or questions involving apportionment, nexus, business vs. nonbusiness income, unitary analysis, audit/notice representation, etc.
Thank You!
As always, I hope you find the information I provide helpful. I want to thank those of you who have contacted me with questions and comments, and the positive feedback I have received. I really appreciate it.

ZEPHYRHILLS — A 23-year-old man has been charged with third-degree murder after an accidental shooting in January.
Austin T. Harden was arrested Tuesday. Capt. Robert McKinney of the Zephyrhills Police Department would not release many details of the shooting, including the victim's name, saying the case remains open.
McKinney said the incident happened just after 2 a.m. Jan. 29 at 6511 Victorian Way in Zephyrhills.
Harden made news in 2007 when his petition to be removed from the state's sex offender registry was granted. He sought removal under Florida's "Romeo and Juliet" law, which distinguishes cases of teenagers having consensual sex from cases of rape and molestation.
Harden pleaded no contest to lewd and lascivious battery in 2006. When he was 16, he was in a sexual relationship with his 14-year-old girlfriend.
Harden has served two stints in prison, totaling more than three years, for several convictions of theft, arson, burglary and his "Romeo and Juliet" lewd and lascivious molestation case. Harden, of 6336 20th St. in Zephyrhills, is being held at the Pasco County jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.

General News of Wednesday, 9 January 2013
Source: Abdul Karim Naatogmah
The outspoken New Patriotic Party (NPP) former Member of Parliament for Asikuma-Odobeng –Brakwa, P.C. Appiah Ofori has described as a misplaced priority, Ebow Baton-Odro's elevation to the position of first Deputy Speaker of Parliament.
Until his elevation, the Cape Coast North National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament, Barton-Odro served as a Deputy Attorney General.
Before his appointment, it was speculated that MP for Kumbungu and also acting Minister for Foreign Affairs, Alhaji Mohammed Mumuni was tipped for that position.
Speaking in an interview, the NPP firebrand, P. C. Appiah Ofori opined that Barton-Odro lacked the Parliamentary experience to carry out the duties of first Deputy Speaker of Parliament.
He said, "This man knows nothing about Parliamentary procedures because within the period that he was in Parliament he was not regular in Parliament and anytime he came, he sat for a few minutes and left so he does not have vast Parliamentary experience to run the office of First Deputy Speaker of Parliament."
Nevertheless, P.C. Appiah Ofori suggested that Barton-Odro should have been retained as Deputy Attorney General.
"As I am saying he has got his experience there and I know him personally: when he was practicing in Cape Coast he was a very skillful lawyer in Court so that is where his experience is and so if he was retained it would have been better than moving him to the position of First Deputy Speaker of Parliament."

We wanted the design to speak to the industrial and traditional roots of the Chicago food industry, while responding to the unique mission of 2 Sparrows. Similar to how a sparrow builds a nest by collecting building elements from nearby, we assembled the space for this seasonally driven, gastro-brunch restaurant with building components collected from Chicago. This approach resulted in an industrial farmhouse aesthetic rooted in Chicago restaurant classicism perfectly calibrated for food production and enjoyment. The architectural design echoes the sustainable agriculture ethos of the restaurant and complements the food and products from local farmers, artisans, distillers, and brewmasters offered at the restaurant.

There is a book with a terrific title: How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk (by the same ladies as Siblings Without Rivalry).
These books require homework though: deep thinking, talking to your partner, practicing on your kid, and observing the results.
As a modern mom, how could I not want to do both those things (talk and be
listened to obeyed AND also develop the kind of relationship where my kids tell me all the good stuff!)? But as a busy mom, where the heck would I find time (and motivation) to do all that stuff?!
Right. So, I did what any Type A Mom would do in this situation: I had one too many unproductive yelling sessions with my four-year old and I contacted a facilitator to lead me and a dozen friends and strangers through a HTTSYKWL workshop.
I arranged for the four weekly sessions to be at my house so I wouldn't have to also pay for childcare and I could more easily get Alec to join in. Done and done. A few hundred emails later and I had my very own Wednesday night support group for unruly preschoolers and toddlers in my living room. Yay.
Julie King, a Bay Area parent educator, led us through the book's concepts, gave us homework, and even led us in simple role play. All were much more effective than me skimming the book on my own and trying to imagine how the tactics would play out (without bothering to practice 'cause I'd be in too big a hurry!).
I'm going to write up each of the key lessons in an attempt to crystallize all my improved parenting skills. Before I forget. And start yelling again.

We have been using plenty of different tools for tracking bugs/product management/project management/to do lists/code review; such as ClearCase, ClearQuest, Bugzilla, Github, Asana, Pivotal Tracker, Google Drive etc. We found Phabricator as a "Too Good To Be True" software engineering web application platform originally developed at Facebook. It has code review, wiki, repository browsing,tickets and a lot more to make Phab more fabulous.
Phabricator is an open source collaboration of web applications which help software companies to build better software. It is a suite of applications. Following are the most important tools in phabricator :
Maniphest – Bug tracker/task management tracker
Diffusion- source code browser
Differential – code review tool that allows developers to easily submit reviews to one another via command line tool when they check in code using Git or Subversion
Phriction – wiki tool
Server – 4GB Digital ocean droplet
OS – Ubuntu 14.04
1. Install dependencies
apt-get install mysql-server apache2 dpkg-dev php5 php5-mysql php5-gd php5-dev php5-curl php-apc php5-cli php5-json
2. Get code
#cd /var/www/codereview
git clone https://github.com/phacility/libphutil.git
git clone https://github.com/phacility/arcanist.git
git clone https://github.com/phacility/arcanist.git
3. Configure virtual host entry
#add below lines
DocumentRoot /var/www/codereview/webroot
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/rsrc/(.*) – [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/favicon.ico – [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?__path__=$1 [B,L,QSA]
Order allow,deny
allow from all
4. Enable the virtual host entry for phabricator.
# a2ensite phabricator.conf
# service apache2 reload
5. Configure the MySQL database configuration for phabricator
– create database
# /var/www/codereview/phabricator/bin/config set mysql.user mysql_username
# /var/www/codereview/phabricator/bin/config get mysql.pass mysql_password
# /var/www/codereview/phabricator/bin/config get mysql.host mysql_host
# /var/www/codereview/phabricator/bin/config storage upgrade
-tweak mysql
Open /etc/mysql/my.cnf and add the following line under [mysqld] section:
sql-mode = STRICT_ALL_TABLES
#service mysql restart
Set the Base URI of Phabricator install
# /var/www/codereview/phabricator/bin/config set phabricator.base-uri
(eg: phabricator.your-domain.com)
Configure Outbound Email – External SMTP (Google Apps)
Set the following configuration keys using /var/www/codereview/phabricator/bin/config set value
– metamta.mail-adapter -> PhabricatorMailImplementationPHPMailerAdapter
– phpmailer.mailer -> smtp
– phpmailer.smtp-host -> smtp.gmail.com
– phpmailer.smtp-port -> 465
– phpmailer.smtp-user -> Your Google apps mail id
– phpmailer.smtp-password -> set to your password used for authentication
– phpmailer.smtp-protocol -> ssl
Start the phabricator daemons
You can start all the phabricator deamons using the script
# /var/www/codereview/phabricator/bin/phd start
To start daemons at the boot time, add this entry to the file /etc/rc.local
/var/www/codereview/phabricator/bin/phd start
1. Install git
#apt-get install git
2. Create a local repository directory:
#mkdir -p /data/repo
3. Edit the repository.default-local-path key to the new local repository directory.
Go to the Config -> Repositories -> repository.default-local-path
4. Configure System user accounts
Phabricator uses as many as three user accounts. These are system user accounts on the machine Phabricator runs on, not Phabricator user accounts.
* daemon-user – The user the daemons run as
We will configure the root user to run the daemons
* www-user – The user the web server run as
We will use www-data to be the web user
* vcs-user – The user that users will connect over SSH as
We will configure git user to the vcs-user
To enable SSH access to repositories, edit /etc/sudoers file using visudo to contain:
#includedir /etc/sudoers.d
git ALL=(root) SETENV: NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/git-upload-pack, /usr/bin/git-receive-pack, /usr/bin/git
Since we are going to enable SSH access to the repository, ensure the following holds good.
– Open /etc/shadow and find the line for vcs-user, git.
The second field (which is the password field) must not be set to !!. This value will prevent login. If it is set to !!, edit it and set it to NP ("no password") instead.
– Open /etc/passwd and find the line for the vcs-user, git.
The last field (which is the login shell) must be set to a real shell. If it is set to something like /bin/false, then sshd will not be able to execute commands. Instead, you should set it to a real shell, like /bin/sh.
– Use phd.user as our daemon user;
# /var/www/phab/phabricator/bin/config phd.user root
# /var/www/phab/phabricator/bin/config set diffusion.ssh-user git
5. Configuring SSH
We will move the normal sshd daemon to another port, say 222. We will use this port to get a normal login shell. We will run highly restrictive sshd on port 22 managed by Phabricator.
Move Normal SSHD
– make a backup of sshd_config before making any changes.
#cp /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/ssh/sshd_config.backup
– Update /etc/ssh/sshd_config, change the port to some othert port like 222.
Port 222
– Restart sshd and verify that you are able to connect to the new port
ssh -p 222 user@host
Configure and start Phabricator SSHD
We now configure and start a second SSHD instance which will run on port 22. This instance will use special locked down configuration that uses Phabricator to handle the authentication and command execution.
– Create a phabricator-ssh-hook.sh file
– Create a sshd_phabricator config file
– Start a copy of sshd using the new configuration
Create phabricator-ssh-hook.sh: Copy the template in phabricator/resources/sshd/ phabricator-ssh-hook.sh to somewhere like /usr/lib/phabricator-ssh-hook.sh and edit it to have the correct settings
# NOTE: Replace this with the username that you expect users to connect with.
# NOTE: Replace this with the path to your Phabricator directory.
if [ "$1" != "$VCSUSER" ];
exit 1
exec "$ROOT/bin/ssh-auth" $@
Make it owned by root and restrict editing;
#sudo chown root /usr/lib/phabricator-ssh-hook.sh
#chmod 755 /usr/lib/phabricator-ssh-hook.sh
Create sshd_config for Phabricator: Copy the template in /phabricator/sshd/sshd_config.phabricator.example to somewhere like /etc/ssh/sshd_config.phabricator
Start Phabricator SSHD
#sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -f /etc/ssh/sshd_config.phabricator
Add this entry to the /etc/rc.local to start the daemon on startup.
If you did everything correctly, you should be able to run this;
#echo {} | ssh firstname.lastname@example.com conduit conduit.ping
and get a response like this;
You should now be able to access your instance over ssh on port 222 for normal login and administrative purposes. Phabricator SSHD runs on port 22 to handle authentication and command execution.
6. To create a git repository
Go to Diffusion -> New Repository -> Create a New Hosted Repository
Since phabricator is under development, you should update frequently. To update phabricator:
– Stop the web server
– Run git pull in libphutil/, arcanist/, and phabricator.
– Run phabricator/bin/storage upgrade.
– Restart the web server.
Also you can use a script similar to this one to automate the process:
1. Log in to the AWS Management Console
2. Click on s3 tab
3. Create a new bucket
4. Create a custom/aws bucket policy to make it world readable
The term 'Load Balancer' is quite self-explanatory, it balances the load on application servers behind it. There can be 'n' number of application servers behind the Load Balancer (LB) which would not be directly facing the end users.
Iozone – open source file system benchmarking tool is a handy tool which lets you to inspect filesystem performance like read, write, rewrite, random read etc etc. Major UNI*X flavours and even Microsfot Windows is supported.
This is a quick how to on installation and usage on Redhat flavor Linux & MacOS.
wget http://www.iozone.org/src/current/iozone-3-338.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh /path/to/iozone-3-338.i386.rpm
Now the filesystem benchmarking tool is installed. To verify the installation you can find the files of Iozone tool in the directory /opt/iozone/
For the plotting of a graph you should ensure that gnuplot is already installed in your machine. Gnuplot is a command-driven opensource function plotting tool. If it isn't installed you may install it using the following command
yum install gnuplot
After ensuring that you have got gnuplot installed. Lets try plotting the analysis of the Iozone tool on a graph. Here we will analyze the filesystem with in auto mode. Run th iozone command and redirect its output to a file.
/opt/iozone/bin/iozone -a -g 4m > /tmp/test_analysis
In the above command we have set the maximum size of a file for auto mode to 4mb with -g option. For brief study about Iozone commands use
/opt/iozone/bin/iozone -h
To generate the graph there is another command which is installed with the iozone tool ie Generate_Graphs. To plot the graph use the following commands
/opt/iozone/bin/Generate_Graphs /tmp/test_analysis
A new window will pop up with the plotted graph of the write performance. At the command line if you hit enter then new graph is plotted fro the rewrite performance. Thus there will be graph plotted for many IO performances as you hit enter each time. Evaluate the required IO performances from the set of graphs depending on the application that you are planning to deploy.
If you have brew installed, its as simple as
brew install iozone
LAMP forms the base of most web applications. As the load on an server increases, the bottlenecks in the underlying infrastructure become more apparent in the form of slow response to user requests.
To overcome this slow response the primary choice of most people is to add more hardware resources ( incase of AWS increasing the instance type). This will definitely increases performance but will cost you more money. The webserver and database eat most of the resources. Most commonly used web server is apache and database is MySQL. So if we can optimize these two we can improve the performance.
Apache optimization techniques can often provide significant acceleration boosts even when other acceleration techniques are in use, such as a CDN. mod_pagespeed is a module from Google for Apache HTTP Servers that can improve the page load times of your website. you can read more on this from here. If you want to deploy a PHP app on AWS Cloud, Its better to using some kind of caching mechanism. Its already discussed in our blog .
Once we came into a situation where we have to use a micro instance for a web server with less than 500 hits a day
When the site started running live, and we feel like disappointed. when accessing website, it would sometimes pause for several seconds before serving the requested page. It took hours to figure out what was going on. finally we run the command top and quickly discovered that when the site was accessing by certain amount of users the CPU would spike, but the spike was not the typical user or system CPU. For testing what's happening in server we used the apache benchmark tool 'ab' and run the following command on localhost.
#ab -n 100 -c 10 http://mywebserver.com/
This will show how fast our web server can handle 100 requests, with a maximum of 10 requests running concurrently. In the meantime we were monitoring the output of top command on web server.
For further investigation we started with sar – Linux command to Collect, report, or save system activity information
#sar 1
According to amazon documentation "Micro instances (t1.micro) provide a small amount of consistent CPU resources and allow you to increase CPU capacity in short bursts when additional cycles are available".
If you use 100% CPU for more than a few minutes, Amazon will "steal" CPU time from the instance, meaning that they throttle your instance. This last as long as five minutes, and then you get a few seconds of 100% again, then the restrictions are back. This will effect your website, making it slow, and even timing-out requests. basically means the physical hardware is busy and the hypervisor can't give the VM the amount of CPU cycles it wants.
Real tuning required on prefork. This is where we can tell apache to only generate so many processes. The defaults values are high, and which cant be handled by micro instance. Suppose you get 10 concurrent requests for a php page and require around 64MB of RAM when requested (you have to make sure that php memory_limit is above that value). That's around 640MB of RAM on micro instance of 613MB RAM. This is the case with 10 connections – apache is configured to allow 256 clients by default, We need to scale these down , normally with 10-12 MaxClients. As per out case, this is still a huge number because 10-12 concurrent connections would use all our memory. If you want to be really cautious, make sure that your max memory usage is less than 613MB. Something like 64M php memory limit and 8 max clients keeps you under your limit with space to spare – this helps ensure that our MySQL process when your server is under load.
Maxclients an important tuning parameter regarding the performance of the Apache web server. We can calculate the value of this for a t1.micro instance
MaxClients =(Total Memory – Operating System Memory – MySQL memory) / Size Per Apache process.
t1.micro have a server with 613MB of Total memory. Suppose We are using RDS instead of mysql server.
Stop apache and run
#ps aux | awk '{sum1 +=$4}; END {print sum1}'.
we will get the amount of memory thats used by processes other than apache.
Suppose we get a value around 30.
from top command we can check the average memory that each apache resources use.
suppose its 60mb.
Max clients = (613 – 30 ) 60 = 9.71 ~ 10 approx …
Micro instances are awesome, especially when cost becomes a major concern, however that they are not right for all applications. A simple website with only a few hundreds hits a day will do just fine since it will only need CPU in short bursts.
For Servers that serves dynamic content, better approach is to employ a reverse-proxy. This would be done this apache's mod_proxy or Squid. The main advantages of this configurations are content caching, load balancing etc. Easy method is to use mod_proxy and the ProxyPass directive to pass content to another server. mod_proxy supports a degree of caching that can offer a significant performance boost. But another advantage is that since the proxy server and the web server are likely to have a very fast interconnect, the web server can quickly serve up large content, freeing up a apache process, why the proxy slowly feeds out the content to clients
If you are using ubuntu, you can enable module by
#a2enmod proxy
#a2enmod proxy_http
and in apache2.conf
ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.46/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.46/
The ProxyPassreverse directive captures the responses from the web server and masks the URL as it would be directly responded by the Apache hiding the identity/location of the web server. This is a good security practice, since the attacker won't be able to know the ip of our web server.
Caching with Apache2 is another important consideration. We can configure apache to set the Expires HTTP header, max-age directive of the Cache-Control HTTP header of static files ,such as images, CSS and JS files, to a date in the future so that these files will be cached by your visitors browsers. This saves bandwidth and makes web site appear faster if a user visits your site for a second time, static files will be fetched from the browser cache
#a2enmod expires
edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 4 weeks"
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 4 weeks"
This would tell browsers to cache .jpg, .gif files for four week.
If your server requires a large amount of read / write operations, you might consider provisioned IOPS ebs volumes on your server. This is really effective if you use database server on ec2 instances. we can use iostat on the command line to take a look at your read/sec and write/sec. You can also use CloudWatch metrics to determine read and write operations.
Once we move to the security side of apache, our major concern is DDos attacks. If a server is under a DDoS attack, it is quite difficult to detect the attack before the damage is done. Attack packets usually have spoofed source IP addresses. Hence, it is more difficult to trace them back to their real source. The limit on the number of simultaneous requests that will be served by Apache is decided by the MaxClients directive, and is set to safe limit, by default. Any connection attempts over this limit will normally be queued up.
If you want to protect your apache against DOS, DDOS attacks use mod_evasive module. This module is designed specifically as a remedy for Apache DoS attacks. This module will allow you to specify a maximum number of requests executed by the same IP address. If the limit is reached, the IP address is blacklisted for the time period you specify.
There are many sites which is built in PHP. PHP provides the power to simply 'pull' content from an external source. it could just as easily be an MySQL database or an XML file etc.
The downside to this is processing time, each request for one page can trigger multiple database queries, processing of the output, and formatting it for display. This can be quite slow on complex sites (or slower servers). Dynamic sites probably have very little changing content, this page will almost never be updated after the day it is written. Each time someone requests it the scripts goes and fetches the content, applies various functions and filters to it, then outputs it to you
This is where caching can help us out, instead of regenerating the page every time, the scripts running this site generate it the first time they're asked to, then store a copy of what they send back to your browser. The next time a visitor requests the same page, the script will know it'd already generated one recently, and simply send that to the browser without all the hassle of re-running database queries or searches.
Different Caching mechanism are discussed below.
APC stands for Alternative PHP Cache, and is a free and open opcode cache for PHP. It provides a robust framework for caching and optimizing PHP performance. APC also provides a user cache for storing application data. APC for caches that do not change often and will not grow too big to avoid fragmentation. The default setting of APC will allow you to store 32 MiB for the opcode cache and the user cache combined
Installing apc on ubuntu
#apt-get install php-apc
edit apc.ini ; default location on new php5 is –> /etc/php5/conf.d/20-apc.ini
extension = apc.so; uncomment this line apc.shm_segments=1; ( by default its enabled .. give 0 to disable)
you can customize your values here. for getting the default values install php5-cli and from command line run
#php -i | grep apc
For monitoring apc cache hits and miss, apc providing a php script. which is located at /usr/share/doc/php-apc/apc.php. Copy this file to your document root and you will be able to monitor your apc status.
for performance benchmarking we created two php files
<?php $start = microtime(true); for ($i = 0; $i < 500000; $i++) { include('test_include.php'); } $end = microtime(true); echo "Start: " . $start . "
"; echo "End: " . $end . "
"; echo "Diff: ". ($end-$start) . "
"; ?>
<?php $t = "migrate2cloud"; ?>
Without apc…
Start: 1360937874.8965
End: 1360937883.1506
Diff: 8.2541239261627
With apc..
Start: 1360937935.5746
End: 1360937936.7291
Diff: 1.1545231342316
without apc it took 8 seconds to complete the request .. with apc.. 1.15 seconds..
Memcached system uses a client–server architecture. The servers maintain a key–value associative array; the clients populate this array and query it. Keys are up to 250 bytes long and values can be at most 1 megabyte in size. Clients use client-side libraries to contact the servers which, by default, expose their service at port 11211. Amazon provides a Service called Amazon elasticache for memcache through which we can configure memcache clusters for caching purposes.
installation and configuration
apt-get install memcached
apt-get install php5-memcached
enable memcache module in /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-memcached.ini or in php.ini
edit php.ini
session.save_handler = memcached
Restart apache and memcache..
php script used for memcache testing..
<?php //memcached simple test $memcache = new Memcache; $memcache->connect('localhost', 11211) or die ("Could not connect"); $key = md5('42data'); //something unique for ($k=0; $k<5; $k++) { $data = $memcache->get($key); if ($data == NULL) { $data = array(); //generate an array of random shit echo "expensive query"; for ($i=0; $i<100; $i++) { for ($j=0; $j<10; $j++) { $data[$i][$j] = 42; //who cares } } $memcache->set($key,$data,0,3600); } else { echo "cached"; } }
You can monitor memcache using phpmemcacheadmin
Varnish has a concept of "backend" or "origin" servers. A backend server is the server providing the content Varnish will accelerate. Our first task is to tell Varnish where it can find its content. open the varnish default configuration file. Iif you installed from a package it is probably /etc/varnish/default.vcl.
Somewhere in the top there will be a section that looks a bit like this.:
backend default { .host = "127.0.0.1"; .port = "80"; }
Change the port number to your apache ( or whatever the webserver you are using) port number.
this piece of configuration defines a backend in Varnish called default. When Varnish needs to get content from this backend it will connect to port 80 on localhost (127.0.0.1).
# varnishd -f /etc/varnish/default.vcl -s malloc,1G -T 127.0.0.1:2000 -a 0.0.0.0:80
The -f options specifies what configuration varnishd should use.
The -s options chooses the storage type Varnish should use for storing its content
-T 127.0.0.1:2000 — Varnish has a built-in text-based administration interface
-a 0.0.0.0:80 — specify that I want Varnish to listen on port 80
For logging varnish — In terminal window you started varnish type varnishlog
When someone accessing your page you will get log like
#varnishlog 11 SessionOpen c 127.0.0.1 58912 0.0.0.0:80 11 ReqStart c 127.0.0.1 58912 595005213 11 RxRequest c GET 11 RxURL c / 11 RxProtocol c HTTP/1.1 11 RxHeader c Host: localhost:80 11 RxHeader c Connection: keep-alive
Caching should not be used for some things like search results, forums etc… where the content has to be upto the times and changes depending on user's input. It's also advisable to avoid using this method for things like a Flash news page, in general dont use it on any page that you wouldn't want the end users browser or proxy to cache.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] March 21, 2005 Master Naturalist Volunteer Hits Record 5,000 Hours AUSTIN, Texas -- The Texas Master Naturalist program began in San Antonio in 1997, with the goal of training citizen volunteers to implement conservation, management and natural resource education and outreach projects in their communities. Almost eight years later, volunteer Thea Platz has exceeded 5,000 hours of service, a milestone for the program. "Thea was a student in the first class of the pilot chapter of Texas Master Naturalists," said Pat Morton, a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Conservation Outreach Program Leader. "She emerged as one of the program's most effective leaders, and is admired by many as a master trainer, administrator and cheerleader for the program." Platz was the local chapter's first vice president and currently serves as president of the Alamo-Area Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalist Program. "She's a single parent and has always had a very strong interest in nature," said Anton Hajek, Alamo Area Chapter secretary. Hajek was also a founding member and first president of the local Master Naturalist Chapter. "It started with about 40 people in a sort of glorified garage," Hajek said. "We actually toasted with champagne that first night." Platz racked up many hours just setting up policies and procedures for the initial program, something that turned out to be a two-year job, said Hajek. "Originally it just had to be done, and somebody had to do it," Platz said. "And it was just fun; I can honestly say that I never did one single project because I wanted hours." In addition to the many hours of "grunt work," which Platz said just seemed to pile up, she has spent a great deal of time working with San Antonio's youth-also part of her volunteer activities with the Master Naturalist Program. "I had the opportunity to work with a man named Thomas Cleaver on an after-school youth program," Platz said. "These are inner-city kids he was working with and we helped him create a habitat right there at his center, so the kids could do their work right there." Platz also helped organize a trip for the kids to Calaveras Lake, where they practiced their birding skills, camped overnight, climbed a rock-wall and kayaked. Platz's record achievement of 5,685 volunteer hours through 2004 is valued at $97,725* by the Texas Master Naturalist Program. The value of volunteer service was calculated using $17.19 per hour. The hourly value is based on the average hourly earnings for private nonagricultural workers as determined by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. (http://www.independentsector.org/). After returning from a 3-day nature camp for fifth graders, Platz prepared to head out to a Master Naturalist meeting, then to Houston for more meetings. "I enjoy what I do, so it's fun to me," Platz said. "As far as what most people consider 'down time,' I don't have much." There are 30 chapters of the Texas Master Naturalist program, and it is sponsored statewide by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Texas Cooperative Extension Service. The success in San Antonio has led to the inception of a National Master Naturalist program. Through the 30 local chapters, program volunteers receive 40 hours of in-depth natural resource training by educators and specialists from universities, agencies, nature centers, museums and other organizations. In return, volunteers contribute at least 40 hours of service in community education, demonstration and habitat enhancement projects while pursuing a minimum of eight hours of advanced training in areas of special interest. For more information about the Texas program, or to find out how to join, please contact Michelle Haggerty, Texas Master Naturalist Program Coordinator at (979) 458-2034 or firstname.lastname@example.com. -30-

Warning over 'inappropriate' children's books
The team running one of Scotland's most successful literacy programmes has criticised some children's writers for including inappropriate language and content in books aimed at upper primary pupils.
Angela Glover, literacy development officer at North Lanarkshire Council, told a national literacy conference last month that even some books by former children's laureate Michael Morpurgo had been considered unsuitable for inclusion in her authority's reading list.
She picked out one of his books in particular, An Elephant in the Garden, for criticism, as towards the end of the story set during the Second World War, a German soldier is quoted as saying: "Bastard, bastard." But other authors were also guilty of including inappropriate themes and language, she said.
"I was not happy about putting this out to schools," she told a workshop at the conference, Turning the Page: Improving literacy for all, in Clydebank, run by Children in Scotland and West Dunbartonshire Council.
North Lanarkshire's active literacy programme, now in its eighth year and being extended from primary into early years and secondary, is relatively prescriptive.
One of its key principles has been the replacement of traditional reading schemes with "real" children's books, which members of the authority's literacy base grade to match to children's reading ability.
Mrs Glover said they had a particular problem finding books for upper primary that were suitably challenging but still appropriate for this age group.
"Children do have a say in some of the books we have on that list, but we have read them all for appropriateness and not all books publicised as age-appropriate are actually appropriate," she told TESS.
It was up to parents to decide what they allowed their children to read in the home, but where schools were working with children's novels and sending them home in schoolbags, teachers had to feel comfortable about content and language.
One of the books currently on the P67 list of approved texts, Theresa Breslin's Saskia's Journey, is being withdrawn by the literacy base because it contains an inference that the grandfather has sexually abused a child. One of the programme's comprehension strategies is inferential reading, so Mrs Glover and her colleagues felt they could not skirt over such an issue. And while some schools have gone ahead and used Morpurgo's An Elephant in the Garden, they have blacked out the offending words - a strategy that the literacy base feels is less than ideal.
Morpurgo's publicist was unavailable for comment.
Catherine Owens, chair of School Libraries Group Scotland, said that for most school librarians, appropriateness was not an issue, as nearly all worked in secondary schools. She works in the High School of Dundee, for pupils aged 5 to 18, and agreed there was a particular problem in finding books suitable for upper primary pupils who were good readers.
"They want to read more challenging books and it is very difficult to find books that are still challenging reads but not either on a teenage theme or containing bad language," she said.
She had refused to allow P6 children to borrow Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series because she felt the theme was not appropriate for that age.

Sharon Church is a studio jeweler and professor of Crafts in the College of Art, Media & Design at the University of the Arts. She received her B.S. from Skidmore College in 1970 and earned her MFA at the School for American Craftsmen at the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1973. Before teaching at what was then the Philadelphia College of Art, she was a limited-production studio jeweler. As a practicing artist, she enjoys the rich exchange that characterizes the community of studio artists who currently reside in Philadelphia.
Artist Statement
Sharon has spent her creative life making studio jewelry and is perhaps best known for her carved jewelry forms. She carves forms inspired by nature – pods and flowers that have evolved from seed and a division of cells. They burst with life. Paradoxically, she works in materials that were once alive and now are dead: bone, horn and wood – they physically embody the life cycle. Forged metal elements lend a different kind of life force to the work. The rhythmic pounding of the metal spreads life like a heartbeat into elements that support and structure the work. Together, the carved and forged forms embody a symbolic language of growth and decay, death and renewal – timeless images that are at once tender and powerful.
Her jewelry seeks to embody shimmering beauty along with its dark, damp and mysterious underpinnings. It is adornment that girds the wearer, jewelry that empowers, enables and protects. On the body, the work becomes spectacle. Both wearer and ornament combine to become a performance piece, creating an image that is fierce yet responsive.
Public Collections
The Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, Pa.; The Museum of Arts and Design, New York City; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, Australia; the Samuel Dorsky Museum, SUNY New Paltz, New Paltz, N.Y.; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston: Helen Williams Drutt Collection, Houston, Texas; the Charles A. Wustum Museum of Fine Arts, Racine, Wis.; the Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington, Del.
Sharon has been awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Individual Craftsman's Fellowship Grant; she was twice selected as a Finalist (Discipline Winner) for a Pew Fellowship in the Arts; she has received the Lindback Distinguished Teaching Award, the Richard C. von Hess Faculty Award and two Venture Fund Awards from the University of the Arts. In 2008, she received the James Renwick Alliance Distinguished Educator Award.

IPhone 4S Restores Investors' Faith in Apple's 2011 Quarterly Earnings
Tiffany Kaiser

Investors expect a successful holiday season for Apple as well, but 2012 is unclear for now
Apple's shareholders have been sweating it out over the last couple of months as they saw the company's famed leader, former CEO Steve Jobs, step down and allow Tim Cook to take the reins. But despite this eventful period of time,
the iPhone 4S
blew past all previous iPhone sales records and restored faith in investors' eyes.
In addition to the replacement of Jobs, investors also worried about the growth of Google's Android mobile operating system, a bleak economic outlook, decreased consumer spending, and a relaunch of Microsoft and Nokia into the mobile war. Some investors even worry that Apple's share have "gone too far, too fast."
But Apple has a lot of advantages in its favor as well. For instance, iPhone 4S pre-orders hit
one million in the first 24 hours
of availability, and reached
4 million within the first weekend
. This is more than double what the iPhone 4 achieved.
But many contribute this blowout sales record to some uncommon factors. For instance, this is the first iPhone launch that included Sprint as a carrier, racking up some extra sales due to new availability.
While this next event occurred after the initial iPhone 4S pre-order weekend, some investors say that
the BlackBerry outage
, which spread across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, the United States and Canada, helped Apple pick up a few extra sales after the release of the iPhone 4S on October 14.
Investors predict knockout results from Apple's July-September period, and also believe that the upcoming holiday season will be positive for Apple as well thanks to the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2.
For the September quarter, Wall Street expects 20 million to 22 million iPhone sales, a little above 4 million Mac sales, and 10 million iPad sales.
Current fiscal fourth-quarter revenue predictions are at $29.6 billion and earnings per share at $7.38.
While 2011 is looking good for Apple according to investors, it's unclear what 2012 will hold for the tech giant. But some say a third version of the iPad is expected, and may help catapult Apple into one of the top ranks once again.
"If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1,200 bucks for it." -- SCEA President Jack Tretton

Mushrooms are often classified as a vegetable, but they are actually fungi. There are an estimated 38,000 species of mushroom, only about 3,000 are edible, about 700 have known medicinal properties, and less than one percent are recognized as poisonous, therefore it is important to buy only to reputable store, so as to avoid the poisonous species.
Mushrooms have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. Today even with the presence of modern technology some people still prefer using natural medicine because it is safer and prolong use will not cause negative side effect like that of a modern medicine.
Maitake has long been valued in Japanese medicine as health mushroom. In Japanese, maitake means "dancing mushroom."
Health Benefits of Maitake Mushroom:
- An adaptogen, a substance that helps the body adapt to stress and "balance out."
- Help combat cancer cells by protecting healthy cells from becoming cancerous, it also helps slow and stop cancer cell growth.
- Help boost the immune system
- Help stimulate proper digestion, thus preventing an upset stomach.
- Help lower high blood pressure.
- Help reduce weight.
- Help in diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels.
Nutrient Content of Mushroom Per 100 gm:
- Vitamin B: Thiamine .10mg
- Riboflavin: .44 mg.
- Niacin: 4.9 mg
- Vitamin C: 5 mg.
- Calcium: 9 gm.
- Iron: 1 mg
- Phosphorus: 115 mg.
- Potassium: 150 mg.
- Fat: .3 gm
- Carbohydrates: 4 gm.
- Protein: 2.4 gm.
- Calories: 16
Two other Mushroom species that contain Medicinal Properties:
- Maitake – is recommended especially for stomach and intestines problems, as well as diabetes.
- Shiitake have been used for centuries by the Chinese and Japanese to treat cold and flu. Today it is recommended especially in treating nutritional deficiencies and liver ailments.
- Reishi extract promotes respiratory health.
Culinary Uses of Maitake Mushrooms: Cooked Maitake can be added in a variety of dishes such as salads, sauces, and pizzas to enhance their taste.
How to Buy Maitake Mushroom: It is always advisable to buy organically grown maitake mushroom. Avoid buying any mushroom product that was grown in China. Maitake and all mushrooms absorb the food that they are grown on. If that food contains heavy metals or dangerous chemicals, the mushrooms can absorb these toxins easily. Many manufacturers use made in China Maitake because it is way cheaper than the safe grown in "Japan Maitake".
Side Effects of Maitake Mushroom: The use of maitake mushroom in food is safe in low doses.
- Maitake supplement is not recommended for pregnant and nursing mothers.
- Maitake should also be avoided by people who undergo organ transplant and are using immunosuppressive agents.

Report: Google Nexus 4G Specs Boast 'Monster-Sized Screen,' Android 4.0
Boy Genius Report has unearthed some possible specs for what looks like a button-less, dual-core, super-thin Google Nexus 4G smartphone featuring Android's upcoming OS build, Android 4.0, dubbed Ice Cream Sandwich.
If true, the phone's most remarkable feature is probably its "monster-sized" screen, which reportedly has 720p HD resolution but lacks the usual Android menu buttons below the screen.
The device will be powered by a dual-core 1.2-GHz or 1.5-GHz CPU or Qualcomm's next-generation "Krait" chips, BGR said. It's also supposed to run on 4G LTE, feature 1080p HD video capture and playback, 1-megapixel front-facing and 5-megapixel rear-facing cameras, and 1GB of RAM.
It's "going to be an absolute beast," writes BGR's Jonathan Geller, speaking to developers, the Nexus line's biggest fan base. However, and perhaps we're being oversensitive, it should be noted that Geller has peppered his post with unusually conservative phrases like "most likely" and "said to be" and "also possible."
Geller also warned that this may just be a reference phone for Ice Cream Sandwich that will be manufactured by another company, such as Motorola's Droid and Motorola's Xoom did for Android 2.0 and 3.0, which both launched on Verizon.
Geller's source didn't name a carrier, which led him to believe that this will be AT&T's debut phone for its upcoming LTE network, despite AT&T's long-term relationship with the iPhone. Verizon runs the only commercial LTE network, but if this is a pure Nexus phone it'd be surprising if Google went with Verizon given the failed Nexus One tie-up. Furthermore, an AT&T Nexus phone would be easier to move and sell around the world, where AT&T's GSM, rather than Verizon's CDMA, is the dominant technology
Google has launched two Nexus phones so far, the Nexus S 4G on T-Mobile and Sprint and the first-generation Nexus One on T-Mobile.

text: Stationed there in 68-69 (PCS). Most of the C/C's were TDY from various bases. I flew as much as I could (for the combat pay and tax free stuff). The missions were short, 3 to 4 hrs, but always exciting, and at times scary. I recall on one mission, we had Three 250lb bombs that did not release (in the Bomb-bay), at least that's what the RN said. The pilot asked me to check the bay for weapons. Being the good troop that I thought I was, I said okay....We dropped below 8,000, and I opened the hatch/door by the IN (honey Bucket) seat. Anybody ever try and fit thru that door with a chute on??? very difficult to say the least. I made it thru, and crawled past the gear(s) and opened the B/B door hatch. Saw Three bombs, Two were just laying on the doors, the Third one had punched a hole in the dor and was sticking out about a foot!! I crawled back into the cockpit and hooked up to the IN interphone and told the pilot what I saw..Needless to say we landed in an Emergency Situation. I will always remember that flight, and think back on how scared I really was afterwards.

Trojans Split With Holmes CC
The Mississippi Delta Community College Trojans split a pair of baseball games with Holmes Community College in Goodman Monday getting edged 6-5 in game one before blowing the Bulldogs out of the water, 14-1, in game two.
The Trojans jumped out to a 3-0 lead in game one with one run in the first and two runs in the second but the Bulldogs answered with a single run in the bottom of the second and then tied the game with a two run fourth. MDCC regained the lead with a run apiece in the fifth and sixth innings but Holmes won the game with a three run homer in the bottom of the sixth.
Devontae Wilson went the distance for the Trojans giving up six runs on just four hits while striking out five batters and walking two. Michael Beloso had a two run homer in the game and Tyler Mize added a solo homerun. Jacob Shempert went 3-4 at the plate with one double and an RBI while Brandon Cummins had two hits including a double and Carson Crites added a triple. Jason Berry also had a hit in the game.
Game two lasted only five innings and the big reason was the eight runs the Trojans scored in the top of the second. Thanks in part to RBI doubles by Brandon Cummins, Jacob Shempert, and Jason Berry and three walks by the Bulldogs.
The Trojans then added three runs in the third inning and three runs in the fourth while Holmes was only able to manage a lone run in the bottom of the fourth. Tre Hobbs took the win on the mound going four innings and giving up one run on just three hits with four strikeouts and no walks. Kyle Wilson closed out the fifth inning on the mound for Delta with all zeros.
Sophomore Brandon Cummins came close to hitting for the cycle going 3-3 at the plate with a single in the first, a double in the second, and a homerun in the fourth. In all, he drove in five of the Trojans' runs. Jacob Shempert went 2-3 with a two run homer and four RBI's for the day. Tyler Mize, Danny Springer, Carson Crites, Jason Berry, Michael Beloso, and Peyton Callahan rounded out the eight Trojans who got hits in the game.
The split brings the Trojans' overall record to 17-11 and their North Division record to 8-4. They will step out of division play Tuesday when they host South Division foe Southwest Community College in a pair of games beginning at 1 p.m.
