Update: The Exchange 2010 issue was resolved in SP2 RU1.
Recently, there have been some theories flying around the blogosphere about the way archive stubbing affects space reclamation in Exchange databases. Specifically, some have questioned whether Exchange will properly reclaim the space when the size of an item in the database shrinks. I contend that yes, Exchange will properly reclaim that space. But you don't have to take my word for it. I will show you exactly how I tested it, so that you can test it yourself and draw your own conclusions.
First, however, I want to point out that we are currently investigating an issue with Exchange 2010 where database space is not reclaimed, but this issue does not necessarily have anything to do with archival or stubbing. We believe we have reproduced the behavior without those factors in the mix at all, and we are still trying to understand the behavior. This issue only affects Exchange 2010. As a result, I do not recommend trying to test this on Exchange 2010 at this time. The space may not be reclaimed as expected, and you could erroneously conclude that stubbing is at fault, when it's actually due to the issue that we are investigating.
That said, let's get started with the test. The point of my test was to prove whether we free up space in the database when a large message body is replaced with a small one. We can't really test this on 2010 because of the outstanding issue we're looking at, but it can easily be tested on 2007 or 2003. I decided to perform a simple test on Exchange 2007. Here's what I did.
The Test
First, I created a brand new database on my Exchange 2007 server. On that database I put a single mailbox. Then, I wrote a simple script to send a bunch of messages with large bodies to that mailbox. Here's the script:
# Send-SMTPMessages
param([string]$ServerName, [string]$RecipientAddress, [int]$NumberOfMessages)
$bodySB = new-object System.Text.StringBuilder
for ($x = 0; $x -lt 25; $x++) # 25 = 5000 byte body (25 iterations * 2 bytes for each character * 100 characters)
$foo = $bodySB.Append("1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890")
$smtpClient = new-object System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient($ServerName)
for ($x = 0; $x -lt $NumberOfMessages; $x++)
("Sending message " + $x.ToString())
$message = new-object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage("email@example.com", $RecipientAddress, ("Message " + ($x+1).ToString()), $bodySB.ToString())
I ran the script with the following syntax:
.\Send-SMTPMessages MyServerName email@example.com 10000
As the script is written above, this will generate 10,000 messages (which I specified at the command line), with each of those messages having a 5000-byte message body. You can adjust the size of the message body by altering the number of iterations of the for loop, as I noted in the script. All those messages will end up in the Inbox of your test mailbox.
With that done, I let online defrag run to make sure there was no free space (I set the schedule and watched for the 1221 event), and then I dismounted the database and generated a space dump with eseutil /ms.
When you're looking at space in an Exchange database, it's important to understand how the database is structured. In all versions of Exchange prior to 2010, the database contained one big Msg table. That table held the bodies of every single message, for every single folder, for every single mailbox in the database. It was all stuffed into one huge table (attachments were stored in another huge table).
So, as expected, my space dump showed that the vast majority of the content of the database was in the Msg table. Here is a snippet of the actual output:
Name Type ObjidFDP PgnoFDP PriExt Owned Available
Msg Tbl 19 50 2-m 11270 16
<Long Values> LV 98 51 1-m 10046 7
"Owned" tells us how many pages belong to this table, and "Available" tells us how many of those pages are free. I had just created 10,000 new messages, so as you would expect, there was very little free space in the table.
With that done, I mounted the database and ran another script. I wrote this second script to simulate the act of stubbing. It iterates over every message in the Inbox and changes the body to simply say "Stubbed!", reducing the body size from 5000 bytes to less than 100 (it actually comes out to something like 80 bytes, because this method of setting the body generates some HTML around the text). Here's the script:
# Stub-AllMessagesInMailbox.ps1
# This script requires the EWS Managed API to be installed.
param($ServerName, $UserName, $Password, $DomainName)
Import-Module -Name "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange\Web Services\1.0\Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll"
$exchService = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeService([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeVersion]::Exchange2007_SP1)
$exchService.Credentials = new-object System.Net.NetworkCredential($UserName, $Password, $DomainName)
$exchService.Url = new-object System.Uri(("https://" + $ServerName + "/EWS/Exchange.asmx"))
$inbox = [Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.Folder]::Bind($exchService, [Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.WellKnownFolderName]::Inbox)
$offset = 0
$itemView = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ItemView(100)
while (($inboxItems = $inbox.FindItems($itemView)).Items.Count -gt 0)
foreach ($item in $inboxItems)
("Stubbing item: " + $item.Subject)
$item.Body = "Stubbed!"
$offset += $inboxItems.Items.Count
$itemView = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ItemView(100, $offset)
After all my items were "stubbed", I immediately dismounted the database again and ran another space dump, without letting online defrag run. The result surprised me:
Name Type ObjidFDP PgnoFDP PriExt Owned Available
Msg Tbl 19 50 2-m 11414 12
<Long Values> LV 98 51 1-m 10054 7952
My Owned pages went up slightly, but I instantly had 7,952 pages free in the LV tree of the Msg table – about 62 MB. And this was before allowing online defrag to run. After online defrag I had even more free pages:
Name Type ObjidFDP PgnoFDP PriExt Owned Available
Msg Tbl 19 50 2-m 11414 16
<Long Values> LV 98 51 1-m 10050 8207
I repeated this test using message bodies of 2000 bytes and 7000 bytes, and the results were the same. I tried stubbing 5000-byte items down to 1078 bytes instead of 100 bytes, and the results were the same. I even tried stubbing only every 5th message instead of all the messages. In all my tests, Exchange 2007 freed a ton of pages when I reduced the size of the message bodies.
Conclusions From Testing
From this test, it is quite clear that after stubbing the items, space is reclaimed – and not just a small amount, either. In fact, we reclaimed more space than we would expect based on the size of the items. 5000 bytes x 10000 messages = roughly 50 MB, but we got back about 65 MB (8207 pages * 8192 bytes per page = 67,231,744 bytes). This is likely due to page fragmentation from before the stubbing. That is, if our items are 5k in size and we have 8k pages in Exchange 2007, we can't fit 2 items on one page. As a result, there will be some unused space on these pages. After we stubbed, we were able to fit more items on a page more efficiently, and space wasted by fragmentation actually decreased.
Page fragmentation might also explain why the Msg table was about 90 MB in size before we stubbed, when we had only added 50 MB of message bodies. This is a great example of why you can't just add up mailbox sizes to determine how big the database file should be. It has a lot to do with what sort of data is in the database.
So What's The Deal With Stubbing?
A few years back, I worked on a series of Exchange 2003 cases where customers were using stub archival (also known as shortcuts), and they were concerned at the discrepancy between reported mailbox size and actual database size. Several of those customers sent me databases, and I spent a few months working with the archival software vendor to analyze the database contents and understand the reason for the difference. Our findings revealed that the mystery space was being taken up by two types of overhead.
The first type of overhead is properties that simply don't count toward the size of the message. When you look at the size of a message in Outlook, the size you see is not the total size of all the data that Exchange stores for that message. We store certain properties that do not count toward message size, and they aren't counted against the user and aren't reflected in the message size. These may be publicly documented properties such as PR_URL_NAME or other internal properties which are not publicly documented.
The second type of overhead is page fragmentation. A page in an Exchange 2003 database is 4k in size. Each record in the database has to be arranged onto these pages, and depending on how efficiently we are able to do so, there will be some space left on the page. This is page fragmentation, which results in empty space that cannot be reclaimed by online maintenance.
To the extent that an Exchange database is made up of many tiny items, these two kinds of overhead become more apparent. I worked with the vendor to set up a lab environment where we could test this theory with the vendor's real archival software. We tested several scenarios, but I think the final test was the most interesting. We used LoadSim in a lab environment to fill a database with 1.4 million messages ranging in size from 1k to 4k with no attachments. Even before archiving, the database had about 30% overhead from fragmentation and 20% from properties that don't count toward message size. This showed that the behavior can be achieved even without archival by filling the database with lots of small items. After archiving everything and leaving shortcuts in place, those numbers went up to a combined 70% (because all the 4k items became much smaller shortcuts), although archiving did free up about 15% of the database. The same behavior would be expected from any archival product that is configured to leave shortcuts behind.
Exchange will continue to work just fine in this scenario. There's nothing inherently wrong with it. It's just that when you archive email messages and leave behind a shortcut, you are taking out the big properties like message body and attachments, and leaving a small stub - but all the overhead associated with the item remains. Although you do save disk space by taking out the big stuff, the remaining tiny items still have the same amount of overhead as a normal item. The ratio of overhead to actual email rises, so the database size will be considerably larger than what you would expect from adding up the reported mailbox sizes.
We concluded that if you want to reduce the overhead, the best approach is to expire the shortcuts after some time limit. To the extent you expire the shortcuts, you should see the overhead come down. Of course, another option is to let all the shortcuts stay in the database, knowing that your database is perfectly healthy despite the size difference between the mailbox sizes and the file size.
So what about Exchange 2007? If anything, I would expect page fragmentation to be somewhat less of an issue in 2007 than 2003 due to the larger page size. That should make it easier to arrange several stubbed items onto a single page. But again, this will depend a lot on what sort of items you put in the database.
In Conclusion
I avoided discussing Exchange 2010 here, because the issue with space reclamation which we are currently investigating makes it very difficult to test and draw any conclusions about how 2010 will behave.
However, my findings in testing Exchange 2007 are clear: When the items shrink, we reclaim a lot of space. Background cleanup is able to grab much of the space even before online defrag comes along. Maybe someone can find fault with my testing, or maybe someone can come up with a reproducible scenario where we don't reclaim the space. If you can, I would love to hear from you.
Let me clearly state: At this time, there is no known issue with archival stubs beyond the increased overhead ratio I described above.

Tune maari entriyaan, the well-composed, fun number has some witty lines and words which go as sentiyaan, ghantiyaan and even countriyaan; making it a sure shot hit amongst the masses. Vishal Dadlani and KK do perfect justice to the song with their peppy voice, while Neeti Mohan is good. Bappi Lahiri makes a delightful appearance with the Bangla verses. There is also a Bengali version of the song, which is as good as the original version. Monali Thakur outshines with her sweet voice, while Lahiri packs a punch.
Arijit Singhs soulful voice makes Jiya one of the best tracks in the album. The melody has a haunting effect and Singh adds his own charm, especially during the antara. With well-written lyrics and a brilliant arrangement, this one is a winner. The cabaret number Assalam E Ishqum, which is a mix of rock n roll beats with Arabic rhythm, takes you back in time. Lahiri does a good job again, while Neha Bhasin adds some spice to the track with her husky voice.
Shahid Mallyas Saaiyaan makes for a delightful hear, with a wonderful blend of raga, soft rock and good use of the dhol; while the lyrics are a great mix of simple Punjabi, Urdu and Hindi.
Hazrat Amir Khusros legendary Mann Kunto Maula is used as the title of a song in the film, which is a situational sufi-based song, the theme of which is forgiveness. Western tunes meet sufi rhythm in this number. Both Altamash Faridi and Shadab Faridi have sung the track very well. The classical version of the song makes good use of desi instruments have been used and the qawwali portions are simply divine. The title track Gunday is okay and does a good job of explaining the characters of the film. The song has a rap by Kinga Rhymes, which is okay. Overall, its a great package which includes a fantastic mix of high on energy and soulful tracks.

The California Highway Patrol reported that one person was killed in an apparent rollover accident at around 1 p.m Saturday.
According to a press release, the individual, whose identity is pending confirmation, was driving a 2005 Infinity G35 south of Garberville on U.S. Highway 101 when the driver entered into a lefthand curve, traveled off the west edge of the road and over the edge of a cliff.
The vehicle came to a rest approximately 150 feet away from the roadway, at which point it became fully engulfed in flames, the release said.
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
There were no other individuals involved in the accident, and alcohol as a contributing factor has not been ruled out. CHP is investigating the accident.
Officials with Cal Fire, Redway Fire Department, Eureka City Ambulance, Humboldt County Sheriff's Office, Caltrans and the Humboldt County Coroner's Office assisted at the scene.

Kitchen countertops consist of several different layers of construction. Regardless of what material the surface is constructed from--tile, laminate or concrete--the underlayment (layers below the surface) must be solid and strong to support the weight above and waterproof to prevent any water from seeping into the wood surfaces below. Installing underlayment is a moderately difficult task, but depending on the size of the project, it can be done in one day or less.
Tools and Materials
Tools and materials necessary for installing underlayment include a circular saw and a jig saw for cutting the material, a screw gun and galvanized screws for attaching the underlayment, caulk gun and construction adhesive for attaching the products, 3/4-inch plywood (exterior grade) and 2-by-2 wood strips for countertop edging. Other basic tools include a tape measure, chalkline, square and pencils. You may also want to purchase a tool belt, which will hold your tools and allow for easy access to them. You will also need backer board for tile installation and felt paper for concrete installation.
For laminate installation, you will need to install double sheets of 3/4-inch plywood. Install one sheet directly to the tops of the cabinets using construction adhesive and screws. Distribute adhesive on top of the prior piece and lay another sheet on top and attach with screws. You won't need to worry about waterproofing because laminate sheets are already waterproof.
For concrete countertops, you will need only to install one sheet of 3/4-inch plywood. Attach in the same way as above by applying adhesive and screws. Attach the 2-by-2 stripping around the bottom outside edges of the countertops. Pay attention to the screw lengths and make sure that they are not longer than the thickness of the countertop plywood and stripping. Using galvanized staples, attach felt paper to the top of the plywood, followed by diamond mesh. The felt paper will waterproof the wood and the diamond mesh will strengthen the concrete.
For tile countertops, you will need to install double plywood just as in the first section. Attach the surfaces together using the same method but without the 2-by-2 stripping--you won't need the stripping because the doubled sheets will provide the necessary 1-1/2-inch countertop edge. Use a backer board such as hardibacker or durarock for the layer on top of the plywood(1/4-inch). Lay a bead of construction adhesive down, install the backer board and attach with screws. The backer board will offer protection from water, as well as strength for the tile.

Online Support Groups for Partners
Having a partner with a mental illness can feel very lonely. You may feel as if it's not right to burden others with your problems and concerns, but also wish there was someone who understands what you are going through. Maybe, for whatever reason, going to therapy or in-person support groups yourself is not an option, or not enough. What else is there?
Technology to the rescue!
Online support groups–sometimes called online discussion groups or Internet self-help groups–are one way of finding others who are having the same experiences you are as the partner of someone with a mental illness. These online support groups generally are welcoming environments which users often find helpful. People who use online support groups get emotional support and suggestions, as well as accurate information, since other users will quickly chime in to make a correction if someone posts something erroneous.
Advantages of finding support online
- Anonymity: You can lurk and just read what other people write, or you can choose to share as much or as little as you like about your experiences.
- Strength in numbers: People will post information that you might not find on your own–for example, someone may post about a clinical trial happening in their area that you would not have found out about otherwise, or something else that's relevant to you and your partner but that you would not have come across yourself.
- Connection: Although you may never meet the people you interact with in these groups, just knowing that there is someone out there who is sharing your experience can help tremendously.
What to watch out for
- Don't believe everything you read: In general, online support group members tend to keep each other honest and correct any errors, but sometimes, stuff slips through, especially if the group is not well-moderated. Use your research skills to verify information.
- Posts that seem disrespectful, offensive, rude, etc.: Most well-run groups have moderators who will remove posts that are offensive, but some groups don't have moderators at all, or have moderators who could improve their skills. If you find yourself wondering if this group is a free-for-all, find a different one.
- Your own expectations: Support groups are not a cure, and they don't have all the answers. You are bound to be disappointed if you expect that you will get everything you need from one. They are best used as an adjunct to your own therapy, or in-person support.
Online support groups
These groups are, in general, for people who have the actual illness, but there are often threads and areas specifically for families. It also can be very helpful to read about the experiences of the people who have the disorders, and to ask them questions about what might be happening with your partner.

Mulayam, Ram Gopal add to SP's long list of shocking rape remarks
Akhilesh's government has come under all-round attack after a series of violent crimes against women, including the horrific gang-rape and murder of two cousins in Baduan, were reported from the state.india Updated: Jun 05, 2014 08:32 IST
Rape is sometimes a result of relations between young boys and girls coming out in the open. Or maybe, sometimes, it is the result of watching too much television. Whatever it is, it is impossible to stop rape completely.
A raft of absurd, defensive comments from senior Samajwadi Party (SP) leaders is laying bare the Uttar Pradesh government's trivialising attitude towards tackling the growing menace of rape and murder of young woman in the state.
Akhilesh-led SP govt faces flak over rape cases
In comments that drew all-round condemnation, Ram Gopal Yadav, SP's national general secretary, said on Wednesday the media was deliberately and unfairly picking on the UP government although rape happened everywhere.
"In many places, when the relationship between girls and boys come out in open, it is termed as rape. In many places, girls and boys are ready (to marry) but honour killings take place," he told reporters.
"The most saddening and serious thing is that such incidents are not stopping. These incidents happen in other places also but are not highlighted."
Yadav attributed the rise in incidence of sexual assaults to the "vulgarity, obscenity and violence shown on television".

Earlier, SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav said his party's government in UP was "not insensitive" and was taking action against the culprits.
"What to do...we are sensitive. We are not insensitive...Strict action is being taken against culprits. You do your work and let us do our work," he said, when asked to comment on rising cases of rape in the state where his son, Akhilesh, is the chief minister.
In April, Mulayam had said in one of his election campaign speeches: "Ladke, ladke hain, galti ho jati hai (Boys are boys, mistakes happen). That doesn't mean that you award them capital punishment," referring to death penalties given in some rape cases.

Attacking media for "deliberately" focusing on such incidents only in Uttar Pradesh, Ram Gopal Yadav said: "No leader visited those places but since, media said the two girls (in Badaun) were Dalits, everybody went there and even demanded registration of a case under the SC/ST Act when the girls belonged to backward classes."
Last week, chief minister Akhilesh Yadav had retorted when askedby journalists about the rapes: "You are ok? You are not in danger, right?" He also said a Google search would show rapes happen at other places too.
The latest comments from SP leaders have come in for sharp criticism. Cutting across party lines, political leaders criticised these remarks as unfortunate and insensitive.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said: "Akhilesh Yadav should understand that ever since his government came to power in UP, the state has gone from bad to worse. Everywhere, there are problems, whether it is electricity or law and order."
He advised that Akhilesh Yadav should correct the message instead of correcting the messenger, and added that by criticising media he is encouraging the unwanted elements, who are committing crimes.

Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) leader Chirag Paswan too criticised Akhilesh for his statement, saying what the young chief minister had said sadden him.
On Wednesday, minister of state for home Kiran Rijiju also criticised the Uttar Pradesh chief minister for accusing the media of highlighting such cases occurring in UP while ignoring similar cases happening in other states.
Expressing concern, he said: "The Akhilesh Yadav government must "act promptly" to improve law and order situation in the state but did not comment when asked if President's rule could be considered for the state in view of deteriorating law and order there.

TUDOR driver Patrick Huisman scores valuable Monaco points
Monaco - Sunday, May 24, 2009 - The glamorous Monaco circuit of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup was won by 33-year old Richard Westbrook (Federsand-Jetstream Motorsport). Coming in 2nd and 3rd on the Monaco Principality podium were the 22-year old reigning champion of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland Rene Rast (Veltins MRS Racing) and 27-year old reigning Champion Jeroen Bleekemolen (Konrad Motorsport) respectively. Tudor driver Patrick Huisman was proud to have participated in the prestigious Monaco circuit following some last minute repairs and moved from a start position in 12th to a final finishing position in 9th. Unfortunately, his teammate Richard Williams (GBR) was the victim of a rail in the chicane before the grandstands and was not able to finish the race because the minor accident had deteriorated the radiator.
Westbrook commented on his great race: "I had never won this race before and Monaco is so special, it is the jewel in the crown." Teams had the day off on Saturday and Westbrook says he used his time to imagine today's start and it seems to have paid off. "It was a perfect start. The race was strong. At the end it got close with Rene Rast. He was following me by 0.4sas I was never able to pull a big lead. At the swimming pool I thought he would pass me, but I controlled him. I am so pleased for my team as today my car was perfect. I can't wait for Turkey, a race I won in 2004 with FIA GT."
Taking a look at the overall results, reigning Dutch Champion Jeroen Bleekemolen (Konrad Motorsport) who finished in third on the Monaco podium, was leading two weeks after the Barcelona Grand Prix, the third round of the 2009 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. Bleekemolen started Round 4 in Monaco as the overall leader with 64 points and still maintains his lead, commenting: "With the team, we ran a good strategy in qualifying and it paid off during the race. I had problems during the race, my engine was not smooth, but I want to forget all this because I am on the podium. A podium in Monaco is something difficult to describe and I am in the lead of the championship and I want to repeat my deed in Turkey for the next race."
At the Tudor SPS sponsored team, the mood is high despite a difficult race for Richard Williams. When asked about his accident Williams said "It was a pity because my start was strong and I gained one position right away. I was doing all right, the pace was there, and as I was trying to overtake the guy in front of me, the chicane was there. It's a shame that I could not continue after touching the rail, my water radiator was leaking but I managed to bring the car back to the pit garage ahead of Brawn F1 team." Williams may be disappointed, considering that his weekend had started smoothly with him in the seventh fastest position in Thursday's practice session (1.39.749 time) and a qualifying position in 11th with 1.38.170, but he knows there are still many races to come in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. "I am sorry for the team as we could have both been in the points," Williams said. "Let's see how Turkey's race will turn out. I am looking forward to the challenge and the speed there. It is a brilliant challenge for us and I like the track."
Team-mate Patrick Huisman's weekend was written off as his car suffered a contact with the new barriers on Friday. The team managed to reconstruct the car entirely ahead of qualifying by sleeping only one hour, but Huisman only qualified in 12th position. "There was nothing we could do despite the hard work of my mechanics all night," said Huisman, whose favorite track of the season is right here in Monaco. "We thought it would be perfect for qualifying but the car was not breaking perfectly. I was disappointed because the free session signed the weekend and the damage on Friday caused the car not to be in perfect shape for the rest. I took it easy the first laps of the race and was trying to work on the tires to warm them up." Of his result Huisman said, "I did not have a positive feeling but I saw a bit of light as I was able to pass Janak. But then there was no other occasion seeing as the track is narrow here. Turkey is a technical and fast track, so far I have done well there but it is not easy."
Round 5 of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup will take place 5-7 June 2009 in Istanbul.

text: Familiar foes Bridgeport, Fairmont Senior meet again, this time in AA By Marcus Cole May 29, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Bridgeport and Fairmont Senior are certainly not strangers on the diamond as both programs head into a Class AA state baseball tournament semifinals at 4:30 p.m. today at Appalachian Power Park.While there is a lot of familiarity between the teams, there's also a hint of newness into this rivalry with both teams dropping from Class AAA to Class AA before the start of the school year.Bridgeport (30-6) returns to the state tournament for the third time in four years, with the previous visits coming in AAA. The Indians are looking to continue along the same path thanks in part to a patient team mentality."I really feel good about out chances heading into this thing," said Bridgeport coach Robert Shields. "I'm really proud of these kids who have bought into our system, especially after graduating nine seniors last year. A lot of our guys have bided their time and continued to work hard, which is a pretty remarkable thing."Bridgeport has a solid, consistent pitching staff paced by three five-game winners in Josh Boggio (5-1), Anthony Bonamico (5-1) and Brent Rhodes (5-2). Any one of these hurlers could take the mound for the Indians in this semifinal matchup."I'm not sure who I'm sending to the mound, but we've got some good options," stated Shields. "I'm going to take my time and see who's in the best position to throw."Senior Troy Anderson leads Bridgeport's offensive attack with a .355 batting average with five home runs and 47 RBIs, while Cullin Cutright is batting .325 and drove in 24 runs. "For us to win this game, we have to be able to put the ball in play and make things happen," added Shields. "Defensively, we need to keep from making mental errors and not walk a bunch of people like we did the last time we played [Fairmont Senior]."Bridgeport and Fairmont Senior met in back in April in a game that was suspended due to lightning. The Indians jumped out to a 4-0 lead until their pitching staff gave up seven walks and the team committed a pair of errors to allow the Polar Bears to tie it at four just before the storm hit. The game was completed a week later with Fairmont Senior scoring a run in the bottom of the seventh to take the 5-4 victory over the Indians in their only meeting of the season.Fairmont Senior (27-6) has seen its share of baseball success in the past, making it to the state tournament every year since 2003 except for 2009, when the Polar Bears fell to John Marshall in the regional finals.Led by 24-year head coach Steve Naternicola, Fairmont Senior will rely on seniors Andrew Strand, Matt Robbins and Fletcher DeVaul.Strand, the Big 10 Conference pitcher of the year, has posted some impressive numbers this season with a 6-0 record and 0.81 earned run average to go along with 56 strikeouts. Robbins recorded a 5-2 record with 65 strikeouts and a 0.84 ERA for the Polar Bears and DeVaul, the Big 10 Conference player of the year, is the team's leading hitter with a .511 average at the plate and boasts a 6-2 record and a 3.16 ERA on the mound.Despite repeated sectional, regional and state tournament success, Fairmont Senior has not won a state baseball championship during Naternicola's tenure as head coach.The winner of this contest will face the winner of Independence (21-9) vs. Herbert Hoover (29-4) in the Class AA championship game on Saturday at 10 a.m. at Appalachian Power Park.

Istanbul, the only city that geographically spans across two worlds at once, happens to also possess a unique collection of grand mega malls. Bağdat Caddesi reigns supreme on the Asian side of Turkey while Galleria stands as the country's first shopping center. With the expansive mix of massive retail centers, it's only natural to discern that in order to be noticed, echoes of the mantra, "the bigger the better" can be heard.
Cut to Kozzy, an enclosed shopping center with the site area of a mere 14,610 square meters that is nestled in a high-density residential area of Istanbul. The environment and context of a place can sometimes express what type of project it needs, demands. Kozzy stands as a realized extension of its neighborhood that gives residents every part of what they have asked for.
Designed by California international firm 5+design, Kozzy has become a staple within the area that features 65 international and domestic retailers, indoor and outdoor restaurants and cafes, a 400-seat performing arts theatre, an art exhibition center, nine-screen cinema, a grocery store and a 260-space underground parking garage.
5+design took advantage of Kozzy's residential setting and connected the shopping center to the neighborhood beyond.
The project pales in comparison to its giant counterparts but what it lacks in size, it makes for up in character and form.View full entry

Heavyweights Cain Velasquez and Antonio Silva will swap leather once again.
UFC officials confirmed Tuesday that a rematch is slated for Memorial Day weekend at UFC 160 in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
The matchup was reported on UFC Tonight, citing confirmation from UFC president Dana White.
The show's date is near the one-year anniversary of their first meeting, which Velasquez (11-1) won via TKO. The fight turned into a bloody mess after a Velasquez elbow sliced Silva open early in the first round.
Silva (18-4) earned the heavyweight championship opportunity after defeating Alistair Overeem at UFC 156 on Feb. 2. Velasquez reclaimed the UFC title with a unanimous decision win over dos Santos in December. His only professional loss came in the form of a 64-second knockout to dos Santos in 2011.
The UFC also announced another colossal heavyweight showdown that will pit Junior dos Santos (15-2) against Overeem (36-12) in the night's co-main event.
Santos and Overeem had a bitter war of words during the tail end of 2012, with Overeem accusing dos Santos of, among other things, being afraid of him.
Dos Santos and Overeem were originally slated to fight at UFC 146, but the bout was canceled when Overeem failed a surprise drug test in Nevada.Tags: alistair overeem, Cain Velasquez, junior dos santos bgfoot silva, mma, MMA NEWS, ufc, ufc news

2013 Audi A5 Review
More style, same engine
Many consider the Audi A5 to be an attractive car, so a drastic facelift for 2013 wasn't necessary. Still, sprucing up a car's styling hardly ever hurts. The headlights and grill are revamped while crease lines on the hood and sides are now sharper. Expanded front air ducts give the car a wider look while LEDs in the headlights complete the refresh.
|1. The 2.0 TFSI engine makes 211 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque and can hit 60 mph in 6.2 seconds.
2. Fuel economy is 20 mpg city and 30 mpg highway.
3. Starting at $37,850 the Prestige Package tops out at $48,500.
4. An A5 Cabriolet is also offered from $43,350.
In true Audi form, there's nothing over-the-top here. Volkswagen saves that for Lamborghini (parent company to both). Instead, tasteful touches fill the four-ring brand's playbook, and nothing's changed in that regard.
That consistency continues with the cabin's quality, which is a very good thing.
Leather covers the 8-way power seats and is standard equipment. The front buckets will keep you in place without being intrusive on longer drives — something brand stoics have come to expect.
Soft touch materials grace the dash, door armrests and sills, as well as the center console. Audi also expanded interior appointment options this year. Interior trim choices include wood grains, piano black surfaces and a handsome woven aluminum finish.
The S5 includes a moon roof to lend the cockpit a larger, more airy feel. Unfortunately, that airy feeling is cut short because you can't actually open it. Instead, it's limited to tilting up for a touch of fresh air. Odd at a minimum, it might be downright misleading.
Of course, all that space and luxury falls to pieces for rear seat passengers. Space back there is simply too sparse to accommodate adults in comfort. That's the classic coupe quandary and something that hardly merits complaint.
The rear seats fold down, however, to enlarge the already-acceptable 12.2 cubic foot trunk, so that two passengers will have plenty of room for a long touring trip. And cabin storage is also ample with a locking glove box and console, and generous door storage.
Audi adds its MMI Navigation plus system this year along with a seven-inch touch screen on the center stack. That includes a voice control system, SD card slots and DVD playback.
Owners also benefit this year from the brand's Audi Connect online service, which adds Google Local Search and Google Earth maps. The car can even serve as a wi-fi hotspot for up to eight devices. Plus, you also get streaming Bluetooth audio.
Power comes from a direct injection, 2.0-liter turbocharged, four-cylinder unit. It makes 211 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque from 1500 rpm. While that isn't bad, it's down quite a bit compared to the turbo 4-cyliner in the BMW 328i – which will be offered soon in the new 4 Series Coupe. That said, Audi shouldn't have any trouble tweaking this engine for more power… we just wish they already had.
With a 0-60 sprint in just over six seconds, the A5 isn't a slouch, but it's no starting athlete either. Long uphill drives are a big weak spot for a car that weighs roughly 3,700 lbs.
But with an EPA-estimated 20 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway from an all-wheel drive vehicle, it's tough to complain too much. Some of the credit here goes to the eight-speed Tiptronic transmission that handles shifting – not to be confused with the dual-clutch S tronic seven-speed unit in the S5. You miss out on paddle shifters here, but the shift lever allows the driver to push through all eight gears quickly. It's a pleasure to play with on twisting roads.
While the A5 features a five-link front suspension and a sophisticated array of upper and lower suspension points and trailing links, and has independent rear suspension with anti-roll bar, keep in mind that it wasn't designed to be a sports car. It is, rather, a sporting luxury GT coupe, with ride and handling designed for comfortable cruising.
Highway miles glide by with a supple and quiet ride. That being said, you still get athletic, crisp response from spirited driving. There is more body lean than is optimal, but the car always feels in control, and the all–wheel-drive system does a great job of inspiring driver confidence in its road holding abilities. The electromechanical power steering feels light, precise and communicative.
The A5 is available in three trims. The Premium trim level offers a very well equipped car and begins at $37,850. The Premium Plus adds such features as LED taillights, Xenon headlights, heated seats, Bluetooth phone, and iPod interface, and bumps the price up to $42,600 with the Tiptronic.
Finally, the Prestige package adds Adaptive Headlights, Audi Advanced Keyless entry and start, the MMI Navigation Plus, blind spot outside mirrors and a Bang & Olufsen sound system, and starts at $48,500. And many of Audi's optional features are available as separate options.
Even in base trim, the A5 is an entertaining, sporty luxury coupe. The car's virtues are enhanced greatly as you climb through the packages, and if you can afford to, you should.
Perhaps relying too much on its good looks, the A5's 2.0T engine seems out of place in this package.Still, performance, handling and executive amenities are combined to create a comfortable, elegant driving machine.

Prospective Students | Current Students | Alumni | Faculty + Staff
Unexpected Passion for Research Leads to MD/PhD Program at NYU
Josh Horton | 2012 Alumnus, B.S. Chemistry, School of Science
MD/PhD Student, New York University School of Medicine
"I didn't have any interest in research at all when I came to IUPUI as a freshman," he said. "Now it's really my passion."
Originally from Jasonville, Ind., Horton came to IUPUI as a Herbert Presidential Scholar. He decided to become a pre-med chemistry major in the School of Science at the suggestion of an influential high school chemistry teacher.
His passion for research was ignited as a volunteer in a chemistry lab his freshman year. Since then, Horton has done research in areas ranging from medicinal chemistry to the kinetics and mutations of enzymes. These experiences, as well as his relationships with faculty mentors, have changed his career outlook.
"The whole point of research was to find out what I liked to do and gain insight into what my passion was," Horton said. "I realized that being able to pursue my MD/PhD is a way for me to have an impact on more people."
In 2011, he completed an internship at NYU where he researched another complex virus, HIV, under the guidance of Dr. Ned Landau, one of the leading HIV researchers in the country. After graduation, Horton will begin the prestigious MD/PhD program at New York University School of Medicine.
Horton said he is grateful for the opportunities he has had at IUPUI, which helped him to grow from a freshman research volunteer toa member of one of the elite programs for young researchers.
"The amount of support we have had at the School of Science is incredible," he said. "Students are constantly encouraged to research and explore, and the faculty do everything they can to facilitate it."
"It's been an amazing experience," he added. "Many of my friends at IUPUI are going on to medical or graduate school, and all of us will benefit from the critical-thinking skills we developed through research."
The NYU MD/PhD program is funded by a scholarship from the National Institute of Health, which will allow Horton to eventually graduate medical school debt-free.
While at IUPUI, Horton received several awards for his academic achievement and research. He was active in several campus and school organizations, such as the Chemistry Club and the IUPUI Honors Club. He also found time to coach a Little League Baseball team.

Throwback to September 2010, when Specter artfully "sidebusted" some of the biggest names in NYC street art…

Throwback to September 2010, when Specter artfully "sidebusted" some of the biggest names in NYC street art…
[Specter vs Swoon, Bäst, Skewville, and Obey – all photos (c) Luna Park]
Although he's never really gone for long, it's been great to see Bäst hit New York City streets with renewed vigor recently. I've really been enjoying his latest work, especially these stencils.
His recent stencil work has also included a couple legal murals in Brooklyn, including one in Bushwick together with Aiko.
But what's got me most excited, is this new crop of classic Bäst collages, wheatpasted to doors and walls in lower Manhattan…
For more classic Bäst, check out my set on Flickr.

Specter has put up a new series titled "Unwanted Collaborations/Sidebusts", in which he's added to pieces on the street by Swoon, Bast, Skewville and Faile. In the case of the Swoon (above), Specter's addition has not only breathed new life into a piece that had been badly dissed (see his website for the before & after), but also cleverly paid homage to the original piece. The other alterations are so subtle as to be almost indistinguishable from the originals.
Just this past week, several new Bast collages have been popping up around the various neighborhoods of Brooklyn. He appears to have vice and excess on the mind these days, with prominent images of women, candy, bling, big business, and even that spinach swilling hog Popeye.
You've got only 10 more days to get yourself to Faile and Bast's Deluxx Fluxx arcade installation at 158 Allen Street (btw Stanton and Rivington), open Tuesdays through Sundays from 3-11pm through May 27th. Filled with fully functional games that flash, buzz and beep, the arcade is sensory overload in the best possible way. Longtime fans of Faile and Bast will surely appreciate the classic imagery incorporated into the setup. Don't sleep on this – I haven't had this much fun in a gallery in a long time.
Since Michael Jackson's passing in June, there has been tribute graffiti and street art popping up all around the world: from stencils on the streets of Brazil to murals in Paris. New York is, of course, no exception. Among my favorites is this new wheat paste from one of street art's masters of celebrity collage, Bäst. Paired with Chris Stain's woman and child stencil, this is a trio is a real Thriller (insert groans here)!

Universal Recycling Technologies to dispose of electronic waste collected by county
The Washington County Board of Commissioners agreed to a contract with Universal Recycling Technologies Nov. 26 for the transportation and recycling of consumer electronics collected by the county at the environmental center and at remote collection events.
Universal Recycling has facilities based in Oakdale, Minn., and Janesville, Wis.
Washington County has been collecting electronic waste since 2008. In 2012, the county collected 1.6 million pounds of electronic waste.
Universal Recycling Technologies manages collection programs in 20 states and works with many of the large equipment manufacturers. In 2013, the company will recycle 35 million pounds of electronics. Universal Recycling is certified to the e-Stewards standard for responsible recycling and re-use of electronics.
The Washington County Environmental Center, 4039 Cottage Grove Drive in Woodbury, provides residents with a free, year-round disposal option for household hazardous waste, electronics and recyclables. It is open noon to 7 p.m. Tuesdays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursdays, and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays.
The center accepts household hazardous waste, electronics and recyclables. The center also has a "free product room," where residents may browse the shelves and take home previously owned products such as paint, stain, automotive supplies, household cleaners and other products. All items brought into the environmental center are inspected to determine if they are usable products.
County seeks grant tax system upgrades
The Washington County Board of Commissioners authorized a grant application Nov. 26 to the Minnesota Department of Revenue to help pay for upgrades to the property tax collection system.
Washington County extracts data several times a year for submission to the Department of Revenue. The Department of Revenue is modernizing how it collects, tracks and uses the property tax data received from counties. As part of this modernization, the department is developing a centralized database called PRISM (Property Record Information System of Minnesota), which requires data to be reported at the parcel level. Currently, the county is reporting its data on the aggregate level. This change of practice will require staff time and system programming.
The Minnesota Legislature authorized a grant to help counties cover their costs for the implementation of PRISM. The total grant amount of $300,000 will be equally divided among the approved grantees.
County receives dividend
Washington County recently received a dividend check in the amount of $639,207 from the Minnesota Counties Intergovernmental Trust. The trust is a member service organization that provides 81 of Minnesota's 87 counties and associated entities with property, casualty and workers' compensation coverage, as well as risk management and loss control services designed for public entities. Washington County officials say the decision to join the trust has resulted in significant cost savings to taxpayers over the years.
The total dividend that the Minnesota Counties Intergovernmental Trust distributed to members in 2013 was $19 million: $7 million from the Workers' Compensation Division and $12 million from the Property/Casualty Division. Washington County received $416,144 from the Property/Casualty Division and $223,063 from the Workers' Compensation Division this year.
Since 1991 the has returned more than $274 million of fund balance to members.
According to Minnesota Counties Intergovernmental Trust Board Chair Scott Sanders, Watonwan County Commissioner, "The 2013 dividend demonstrates the benefits of pooling, members' dedication to managing risk and the reward of Washington County's continued participation in the trust."

A BSF jawan, who was swept away into Pakistan by strong currents of Chenab river and picked up by Pakistan Rangers, today said he was treated "better" than his expectation and was looking forward to meeting his family.
Satyasheel Yadav told reporters in Pakistan before he was to be handed over to BSF authorities that his boat accidentally strayed into Pakistan after it went out of control in strong river currents.
"My colleagues swam out but I did not know swimming. The boat took me into Pakistani territory. I jumped into water near a Pakistan post and was rescued by jawans of Pakistan Rangers," he said in his narration of the events leading to his capture.
Yadav, flanked by Rangers' officials, said he was made "comfortable" by them.
"They took my introduction. They helped me to the extent they could. They kept me better than what I had thought. I have no complaints. I am happy," the 30-year-old jawan said.
Yadav was out on a patrol with three other personnel in the Paragwal-Khour sub-sector of general area Akhnoor when the boat they were travelling in developed a problem.
Indian officials have said when the patrol squad was negotiating a narrow bend in the river in this sector, the engine of the motorboat failed.
A rescue boat later sent to fetch the BSF men was taken by three personnel but Yadav got drifted in the strong current as the rope holding him snapped and he subsequently landed 400 metres away in the Sialkot sector of Pakistan where he was picked up by the villagers initially and then handed over to the Rangers, they said.
"The jawan will be handed over to us at 3 PM at the Octroi post along the border. The DG of BSF has already left for Jammu to receive the jawan," Rajnath Singh told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
The decision has been taken following a flag meeting between the Border Security Force and Pakistan Rangers yesterday, he said.

Nine years ago, the Oliver family had their pick of the lots in the new 900-home subdivision called Plantation Palms. They were just the third buyer in this Land O'Lakes golf course community and they decided to build their new home at the end of Coconut Grove Road on a cul-de-sac that had no neighbor on the south and a pond in the rear.
One other thing. It abutted two Little League baseball diamonds at the Land O'Lakes Recreation Center. Only some evergreens and a chain-link fence separate their domicile from the public park that includes light towers, cheering parents and the ping of aluminum bats making contact with a baseball.
"It's just not as noisy and the lights are not as bothersome as you would have anticipated,'' said Michelle Oliver. "There's been no problems at all.''
So much so that eight months later her sister, Stacey Oparka, and her family built a house nearby on Sago Point Court. Their home is next to the soccer fields at the eastern edge of the complex. It's so close, you can see the family's large-screen television from the fields' bench area where kids sit during games.
"We hear nothing at all when we're inside the house,'' said Scott Oparka, Oliver's brother-in-law. "I was expecting it to be a lot worse.''
An occasional soccer ball has made it into the back yard, he said, but nothing's ever been broken.
I wish the residents of Heritage Springs, a retirement community in Trinity, could be so open-minded. Granted, the Land O'Lakes neighbors knew of the sports fields' existence before they built their homes. Heritage Springs homeowners say they just learned of a planned softball complex across Trinity Boulevard from their neighborhood even though it has been publicized since the fall and the county-owned land has been designated as a community park with lighted sports fields — comparable to Arthur Engle, J.W. Mitchell or John Burks parks elsewhere in Pasco County — since 1996.
Nationally, more than 7 million adults play slow-pitch softball. Meanwhile, the number of fast-pitch softball players is climbing, despite a decline in participation in other team sports in 2009, a drop attributed to the economy and fewer opportunities because of school budget cuts. Those statistics, courtesy of the trade group of sporting goods manufacturers, indicate that softball is a popular sport.
Except in Heritage Springs.
The proposed softball complex now shares characteristics usually associated with a hazardous waste dump. It will be bad for the environment. It will cause stormwater runoff flooding. It will trigger traffic, noise and light pollution, and create safety hazards for emergency vehicles. Let's not forget: It'll disrupt a retiree's golf game. And, when all else fails, tell people it will destroy habitat for the endangered Florida panther.
These mostly disingenuous arguments are courtesy of the residents of the Heritage Springs community who shared them Tuesday with Pasco commissioners. A more truthful argument would have been "not in my back yard.'' They simply don't want softball fields and advocate, instead, for a library and a passive park, two components on a 2005 conceptual drawing for the land upon which the county never acted. (If there are flooding concerns, how come nobody is worried about 246 paved parking spaces that would come with a library and passive park?)
The library? Heritage Springs voters should consider their own role in that demise. Twenty-seven months ago, more than 71 percent of them voted for Amendment 1, giving themselves an additional property tax break, but limiting government money available for nonessentials. The county is now contracting, not expanding, library services.
Likewise, the Amendment 1 tax breaks, the bursting real estate bubble and the recession-driven drop in tax receipts have the county looking for ways to partner with the private sector on some operations. Hence, the idea of using tourism dollars, impact fees and proceeds from a previous bond sale to build a $12 million, five-field softball complex for the locals to use during the week and to boost tourism by attracting out-of-town teams to weekend tournaments run by a private company.
Residents of Heritage Springs promise a legal battle and a $50,000 treasury to finance their fight to block the softball complex. Here's a more prudent idea: They should talk to the people in Land O'Lakes who live near the significantly larger complex there. There's been no diminished quality of life and no reduction in property values.
Then the Heritage Springs residents could consider another strategy. They could start forming a 55-and-over softball team.

More efficient semiconductors at heart of NCSU research effort
Posted January 15, 2014
Raleigh, N.C. — In announcing a $140 million effort to improve U.S. manufacturing efficiency on Wednesday, President Barack Obama had to give a crowd at North Carolina State University a quick overview on wide-bandgap semiconductors.
The next-generation devices are at the heart of the public-private effort that N.C. State will lead.
"I'm not sure I'm fully qualified to explain the technical elements of this. Raise your hand if you know what it is," Obama said, seeking help from engineering students in the crowd.
Semiconductors translate power into energy that devices from laptops to televisions to power substations can use. Most semiconductors are made of silicon, but they're not very efficient. They waste a lot of energy, mostly in the form of heat.
"We often lose up to 90 percent of the energy when we're doing transitions using silicon," said Terri Lomax, vice chancellor for research, innovation and economic development at N.C. State.
The new partnership, which includes five other universities and more than a dozen companies, will focus on so-called wide-bandgap semiconductors that control power better than silicon and lose much less of it. That means cellphone batteries can charge faster and last longer and laptops can be smaller and more efficient.
"It adds up, especially these days when semiconductors are in everything," Lomax said.
Most importantly, the new semiconductors can reduce the massive amounts of energy lost on the power grid.
"Right now, we're using technology from the 1920s, and so we put the electricity in at one end and it runs out the other end, what we don't use," Lomax said. "Imagine if we had the ability to have it not run out the other end but distribute it differently."
ABB, a global power technology company with a smart grid center on N.C. State's Centennial Campus, is one of the private-sector partners in the project. Division President Anders Sjoelin said the new materials will change the power grid.
"They can operate on higher temperature, producing less losses. We can go up in voltage. We'll need less components to do the same thing," Sjoelin said.
The materials used in the wide-bandgap semiconductors are more expensive than silicon, and the partners in the project are trying to identify new applications for them to make development of the microchips more cost-effective.
Having N.C. State in charge of the effort will make Raleigh the center for wide-bandgap technology and for developers looking for new ways to use it, he said, which could mean more technology jobs for the Triangle.
"I think it means a lot for the area," he said. "It's a great recognition for N.C. State, and we're really proud to be part of that."

Customers of EDF, British Gas, E.ON, SSE, Scottish Power and Npower will also be offered the best tariff if their contract comes to an end, and if they contact their supplier at any time to ask.
The Coalition Government claims the "landmark" deal with all the major energy suppliers could mean millions of people could have their energy bills cut as a result, with families saving up to £100 a year.
The proposals come at a time when the Government faces pressure to do more to help people, whose living standards have been hit by above-inflation increases in energy prices.
Government research indicates there are more than 120 different tariffs, with seven out of 10 people on a tariff that is not the best for them.
The new proposals are designed to deal with the inertia in the industry because customers are staying on the same tariffs for years without shopping around.
It is estimated that in 2010, 75% of customers did not change their tariff.
Changes are also designed to make people more open to the idea of saving energy through green measures, such as installing loft installation, and are being unveiled at a speech at the KPMG headquarters, which claims to be "Canary Wharf's greenest building".
Clegg said: "We need to get bills as low as possible. I know that many families are struggling with rising energy bills. We can't control volatile world energy prices. But we can still help people get their bills down."
Suppliers will begin contacting people this autumn with the best tariffs, while vulnerable households that qualify for the Warm Home Discount Scheme, will receive an additional tariff communication each year.
The Government is also in discussions with the major suppliers about including barcodes on energy bills, which consumers can scan with smartphones in order to get quotes instantly and switch to the tariff or supplier that is best for them.

Newly-crowned German champions Bayern Munich will face fellow four-time European champions Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Bayern, who lost last season's final on their own ground to Chelsea, will bid to make their second consecutive final at Wembley on 25 May, with the first leg of the semi-final to be played in Munich on 23 April.
The draw means there will not be a repeat of three seasons ago when Primera Division rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid met in the semi-finals, with Borussia Dortmund drawing Jose Mourinho's side.
Meanwhile, Chelsea will face Basel in the semi-finals of the Europa League as they bid to win their second successive European title.
The Barclays Premier League side, who beat Bayern Munich to the Champions League crown last season, will first face the Swiss opposition away from home on 25 April before the second leg at Stamford Bridge on 2 May.
Fenerbahce, who beat Lazio 3-1 on aggregate to progress to the final four having lost their two previous European quarter-finals, will play Benfica in the other semi-final match.

Sometimes you'd like to spawn a process from a build that lives longer than the build itself. For example, maybe a part of the build is to launch a new application server with the result of the build. When you do this, you often experience a problem where the build doesn't terminate; you'll see that shell script/ant/maven terminates as expected, but Hudson just insists on waiting, as if it didn't notice that the build is over.
The reason this problem happens is because of file descriptor leak and how they are inherited from one process to another. Hudson and the child process are connected by three pipes (stdin/stdout/stderr.) This allows Hudson to capture the output from the child process. Since the child process may write a lot of data to the pipe and quit immediately after that, Hudson needs to make sure that it drained the pipes before it considers the build to be over. Hudson does this by waiting for EOF.
When a process terminates for whatever reasons, the operating system closes all the file descriptors it owned. So even if the process didn't close stdout/stderr, Hudson will nevertheless get EOF.
The complication happens when those file descriptors are inherited to other processes. Let's say the child process forks another process to the background. The background process (AKA daemon) inherits all the file descriptors of the parent, including the writing side of the stdout/stderr pipes that connect the child process and Hudson. If the daemon forgets to close them, Hudson won't get EOF for pipes even when the child process exits, because daemon still have those descriptors open. That's how this problem happens.
A good daemon program closes all file descriptors to avoid problems like this, but often there are bad ones that don't follow the rule.
Work around
On Unix, you can use a wrapper like this to make the daemon behave.
<scriptdef name="get-next-minute" language="beanshell"> <attribute name="property" /> date = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm") .format(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + 60000)); project.setProperty(attributes.get("property"), date); </scriptdef> <get-next-minute property="next-minute" /> <exec executable="at"> <arg value="${next-minute}" /> <arg value="/interactive" /> <arg value="${jboss.home}\bin\run.bat" /> </exec>
Another similar workaround on Windows is to use a wrapper script and launch your program through it.
<exec executable="cscript.exe"> <env key="ANTRUN_TITLE" value="Title for Window" /> <!-- optional --> <env key="ANTRUN_OUTPUT" value="output.log" /> <!-- optional --> <arg value="//NoLogo" /> <arg value="antRunAsync.js" /> <!-- this script --> <arg value="real executable" /> </exec>
Another workaraund for Windows XP and later is to shedule permanent task and force running it from the ant script.
C:\>SCHTASKS /Create /RU SYSTEM /SC ONSTART /TN Tomcat /TR "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\bin\startup.bat"
Note, that ONSTART can be replaced with ONCE if you do not want to keep Tomcat running.
<exec executable="SCHTASKS"> <arg value="/Run"/> <arg value="/TN"/> <arg value="Tomcat"/> </exec>
Another possibility that we can consider is to do something in Hudson.

I am currently experiencing this issue on Solaris 10. I have Hudson running and I am trying to setup a job that stops and then starts a local instance of JBoss. I have been unsuccessful in convincing the SA's to install daemonize as is recommended above. I am trying to run a shell script to stop/start the JBoss instance, but when the Hudson job completes, the JBoss instance shutdowns. Does anybody have any recommendations on how we can spawn an instance of JBoss from a Hudson job without using the daemonize script?

I'm having the same problem trying to start websphere from my ant script via a windows batch command (the batch command spawns a child process). I'd like to know why it works from ant on the command line but not from Hudson. When run under Hudson the child process that my windows batch file creates gets killed somehow. I understand there may be some issues around open file descriptors etc, but if it's not a problem for ant, why is it a problem for Hudson? The Hudson build doesn't hang or give any warnings. I'm working in a limited environment where I can't install services or schedule background tasks. I'm very interested to understand what's behind this problem.

According to issue 2729 https://hudson.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2729 , it sounds like Hudson is willfully killing my build job's beloved spawn.
They mention a workaround of setting the environment variabe BUILD_ID in the job eg. set BUILD_ID=dontKillMe which worked for me.

Thanks for the tip. It took me a while to realize that when a build is done, Hudson kills any child processes that are started by build steps.
Overriding that default behavior by setting BUILD_ID as you suggest,
BUILD_ID=allow_to_run_as_daemon start_my_service
worked for me too.

Second molars
When do toddlers get their second molars? My 21-month-old is so fussy all of a sudden and he is sticking his fingers in his mouth a lot. Is he getting his second molars?
It's very likely that your child is erupting his second primary molars at 21 months of age. This is not too early for him to have an oral examination to answer this and any other questions you might have. Pediatric dentists begin seeing babies around their first birthday to address issues like this.

It is a beautiful day in Omaha today. It feels like spring!
That means two things: Berkshire Hathaway shareholders weekend cannot be far away (seven weeks if you're counting)…
And people will be digging out their golf clubs today.
We dug ours out at Borsheims, too.
Want to see?
This is a piece from On Tour Golf, a company from artist Jeff Diamond in Florida. We brought some of his golf club sculptures into Borsheims in advance of Berkshire Hathaway shareholders weekend.
Many of his pieces are more than just sculptural. He has a lamp, bottle openers and other items he deems fit for a "man cave" or any other room in the house.
We love these pieces – especially because they make us feel like the weather is getting warmer and that Berkshire Hathaway weekend is just around the corner. Stop into Borsheims to check them out or put them on your must-see list when you come to Omaha in just seven short weeks!

Man again accused of defrauding immigrant
Eugenio Riviera is already in jail on charges that he defrauded immigrants by posing as an authority and getting them to sign over power of attorney to him.
Sheriff's investigators have added to the case against him, saying now that Riviera conned another illegal immigrant last May by taking money from the man to help him retrieve his car. Riviera then refused to turn the car over, demanding more cash because he'd had the car's title put in his name, the Sheriff's Office said.
The victim said Riviera, 38, wore a police-style uniform and carried a badge and picture I.D. and drove a van marked with the words "Emergency Rescue Relief," according to his arrest report from Tuesday.
Riviera, of 19612 Owensboro Road, faces new charges of scheme to defraud and criminal use of personal identification. He is being held in the Land O'Lakes jail in lieu of $24,000 bail.
Assistant accused of taping mouths resigns
The Seven Oaks Elementary School instructional assistant who was removed from the classroom amid allegations that she taped students' mouths shut in April has resigned.
The employee would not talk to deputies or school district officials about the alleged incident, "and she just came in and resigned," assistant superintendent Renalia DuBose said. The Sheriff's Office declined to pursue any charges in the case.

Does This Guy Look Like Drake Or Nah?
Instagram user Dreamaker504 firmly believes he looks like Drake and wants you to, too.
With a following of 900-strong (as of press time), the self-described photographer/writer has put his selfie game on overdrive to prove he looks exactly like Drizzy, even using multiple PicStitches with the Toronto rapper (like above) to drive his point home.
Apparently, Aubrey Graham's real father, Dennis, has taken notice.
Is everything really the same?

Bobby Puma Gives Calvin Harris & Rihanna An Official Remix
San Francisco's own Bobby Puma has given Calvin Harris and Rihanna's superstar song "This Is What You Came For" an uplifting summertime remix. In this one he works around Rihanna's vocals and switches up the production style. The festival banger and radio-made song has turned into a club-friendly summertime tune. The percussions are the forefront in this remix, putting the piano a bit behind and then, leading up to the drop, electro synths take over. Finally comes the drop which is a thumping line of bass behind triumphant and wavy horns. This one has the beach and summertime festivals written all over it with its feel-good vibe.
This remix as well as the rest of the official remixes from Dillon Francis, R3hab & Henry Fong, Grandtheft, and Tony Junior are out now and available for purchase. Bobby sets himself apart from the other remixers with the chilling vibes that it brings. So check this out now below, it is certainly something worth coming for.

Israel Police Clash With Protesters Over Eviction of Tel Aviv Homeless Tent City
Several demonstrators arrested after blocking main thoroughfare of Hatikva neighborhood, where a police force gathered to evict one of the last remaining tent cities in Israel.
Approximately 200 protesters clashed with police in south Tel Aviv on Saturday night during a protest against the municipality's attempt dismantle a tent city for homeless families.
Several demonstrators were forcefully arrested after blocking the main thoroughfare of the Hatikva neighborhood, where a police force has gathered to evict one of the last remaining tent cities in Israel.
The protesters chanted slogans against Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, held signs calling for "housing for all," and blamed police for using excessive force to disperse the protest.
One of the protesters, who along with his wife and four children, has made the tent city his home for the past several months, said that the protest was against "the inflexibility of the municipality – this is a lot of rage here." He also said he did not believe the protest would become violent. Another tent city resident says the protesters have no intention of giving up and would "fight the eviction until the end."

There hasn't been a lot of news lately about Tom Cruise's upcoming thriller One Shot, but that may be because it's not called One Shot anymore. The adaptation of Lee Child's ninth installment of the popular "Jack Reacher" novels has been retitled Jack Reacher by Paramount (via Deadline), in an apparent attempt to "reach" the series' existing fan base.
It's a curious turn of events, if you ask us. Surely fans of Jack Reacher will already be familiar with One Shot, and won't need the extra prodding. The real issue is all the folks who don't already know who Jack Reacher is, who may find the bland new title as thrilling as they did John Carter, a film whose generic moniker (as opposed to The Princess of Mars or John Carter of Mars) is considered to be a fundamental reason why it turned into a box office bomb.
Jack Reacher will star Cruise as the titular character and Rosamund Pike as a defense attorney who team up to defend an accused sniper. Acclaimed director Werner Herzog has been cast as one of the film's villains. Academy Award-winning screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects) is directing.
CraveOnline will be back with more Jack Reacher news after we rename Men in Black "J/K."

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hello and welcome to JA. Dr Saleem here. Will be answering you shortly
For how long have these light flashes appeared now ?
You are likely experiencing a PVD or posterior vitreous detachment, a common event that happens in many people.
You have a thick gel material in the middle of your eyes called the vitreous. Over time as it liquefies, this gel material collapses on itself, forms little clumps that you can see as dots, lines or bugs. As these clumps form the vitreous pulls away from the wall of the eye. In the process it can stimulate the retina -- causing the flashes that you may see.It is recommended that you see your ophthalmologist to look at the retina to make sure there are no problems such as a retinal hole or tear. In most cases, there are no problems, but this exam is precautionary and allows for preventative treatment of any lesions that are found.If you notice a sudden increase in floaters, flashes of light (like a lightning storm), or a shadow/veil in the periphery of your vision, this can be worrisome for a retinal detachment. You would need to contact your ophthalmologist promptly in that case.
