This section discusses the following restrictions and performance optimizations that pertain to developing message-driven beans:
The message-driven bean pool is also a pool of threads, with each message-driven bean instance in the pool associating with a server session, and each server session associating with a thread. Therefore, a large pool size also means a high number of threads, which impacts performance and server resources.
When configuring message-driven bean pool properties, make sure to consider factors such as message arrival rate and pattern, onMessage method processing time, overall server resources (threads, memory, and so on), and any concurrency requirements and limitations from other resources that the message-driven bean accesses.
When tuning performance and resource usage, make sure to consider potential JMS provider properties for the connection factory used by the container (the mdb-connection-factory element in the sun-ejb-jar.xml file). For example, you can tune the GlassFish Message Queue flow control related properties for connection factory in situations where the message incoming rate is much higher than max-pool-size can handle.
Refer to Chapter 8, Administering the Monitoring Service, in Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0.1 Administration Guide for information on how to get message-driven bean pool statistics.
Message-driven beans, like other well-behaved MessageListeners, should not, in general, throw runtime exceptions. If a message-driven bean's onMessage method encounters a system-level exception or error that does not allow the method to successfully complete, the Enterprise JavaBeans Specification, v3.0 provides the following guidelines:
If the bean method encounters a runtime exception or error, it should simply propagate the error from the bean method to the container.
If the bean method performs an operation that results in a checked exception that the bean method cannot recover, the bean method should throw the javax.ejb.EJBException that wraps the original exception.
Any other unexpected error conditions should be reported using javax.ejb.EJBException (javax.ejb.EJBException is a subclass of java.lang.RuntimeException).
Under container-managed transaction demarcation, upon receiving a runtime exception from a message-driven bean's onMessage method, the container rolls back the container-started transaction and the message is redelivered. This is because the message delivery itself is part of the container-started transaction. By default, the GlassFish Server container closes the container's connection to the JMS provider when the first runtime exception is received from a message-driven bean instance's onMessage method. This avoids potential message redelivery looping and protects server resources if the message-driven bean's onMessage method continues misbehaving. To change this default container behavior, use the cmt-max-runtime-exceptions property of the MDB container. Here is an example asadmin set command that sets this property:
asadmin set server-config.mdb-container.property.cmt-max-runtime-exceptions="5"
For more information about the asadmin set command, see the Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0.1 Reference Manual.
The cmt-max-runtime-exceptions property specifies the maximum number of runtime exceptions allowed from a message-driven bean's onMessage method before the container starts to close the container's connection to the message source. By default this value is 1; -1 disables this container protection.
A message-driven bean's onMessage method can use the javax.jms.Message.getJMSRedelivered method to check whether a received message is a redelivered message.
The cmt-max-runtime-exceptions property is deprecated.

Concerns of possible global ozone depletion (e.g., WMO/UNEP, 1994) have led to major
international programs to monitor and explain the observed ozone variations in the stratosphere. In
response to these, and other long-term climate concerns, NOAA has established routine monitoring
programs using both ground-based and satellite measurement techniques (OFCM, 1988).
Selected indicators of stratospheric climate are presented in each Summary
from information contributed by NOAA personnel. A Summary for the Northern
Hemisphere is issued each April, and, for the Southern Hemisphere,
each December. These Summaries are available on the World-Wide-Web at the
site: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov

Ozone measurements during the Northern Hemisphere winter of 1996-1997 indicate that total column
ozone values were substantially lower than values observed during these months in 1979 and the early
1980's. Over the north polar region, total ozone for March 1997 was lower by up to 40 percent than
during the earlier period. Total ozone has decreased since 1979 over the mid-latitudes of the
Northern Hemisphere at the rate of about 4 percent per decade. Little or no significant long-term
trend is observed for the equatorial region. Lower stratosphere temperatures over the north polar
region in March 1997 reached record low values. Temperatures observed were sufficiently low
within the polar vortex for chemical destruction of ozone on polar stratospheric cloud particles.
The data available and appropriate references are listed below. This combination of complementary
data, from different platforms and sensors, provides a strong capability to monitor global ozone and
Total column ozone data from the NASA Nimbus -7 SBUV instrument were used from 1979 through
1988, the NOAA-11 SBUV/2 from January 1989 to August 1994 and the NOAA-9 SBUV/2
instrument beginning September 1994. Solar Backscatter Ultra-Violet instruments can only provide
data for daylight-viewing conditions, so no SBUV/2 data are available at polar latitudes during winter
darkness. In addition, increasing data loss of NOAA-11 data at sub-polar latitudes was caused by
satellite precession from 1989 to 1994, resulting in SBUV/2 viewing during darkness at those high
Northern hemisphere monthly mean total ozone amounts for March 1997 are shown in Figure 1.
Lowest monthly mean values over the north polar region (blue, less than 300 Dobson Units, DU),
extend from Greenland, to northern Europe and northern Siberia. While total ozone values of less
than 250 DU are typical for tropical values, those low monthly mean values are unusual for the
Arctic region. Indeed, during March 1997, extremely low daily values of total ozone (lower than 230
DU) were reported. The March 1997 monthly mean map also shows a region of high ozone (yellow
and orange colors) located over middle to high northern latitudes, typical for this region and season.
Figure 2 shows the monthly mean total ozone percent difference of March 1997 and the mean for
eight March monthly means, 1979-1986. The 1979 to 1986 base period is chosen because these
values are indicative of the early data record. Decreases of 25 to 40 percent (blue) cover a very large
area over the Arctic, from Greenland, over the Baltic Sea, to northern Europe and northern Siberia.
Also over the United States and northwest Europe, March 1997 values were lower than for the base
period by 10 to 20 percent. Indeed, decreases of total ozone are shown over almost the entire extra-tropical
region of the Northern Hemisphere. Small percent increases are shown in Figure 2over only
very limited areas in extra- tropical latitudes.
Dobson spectrophotometer readings are made at Point Barrow, Alaska (71.3N), on the Alaskan north
slope, the closest U.S. territory to the polar low ozone region. Figure 3 shows daily total ozone
values for March 1997. The March average was 388 DU, about 6% below the previous ten year
average of 413 DU. On March 17 (307 DU) and March 18 (316 DU), Barrow was on the edge of
the polar low ozone region and record low ozone values for that location were observed for a March
day. The previous daily low had been 326 DU on March 22, 1993. However, lower March averages
were recorded in both 1990 (369 DU) and 1993 (355 DU). Owing to the normal springtime high
pressure system which builds up in the stratosphere over the Aleutians and moves the cold polar low
towards Europe and Asia, the Alaskan Arctic is generally spared the very low springtime ozone
values which have been observed over northern Europe and Siberia during the past several years.
This high pressure system appears to have been weaker than average in the years that Barrow
experienced low March ozone, for example 1997.
Temperatures in the lower stratosphere are closely coupled to ozone through dynamics and
photochemistry. Extremely low temperatures (lower than -78 C) over the Arctic region in the lower
stratosphere are believed to lead to depletion of ozone. Low temperatures contribute to the presence
of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs). PSCs enhance the production and lifetime of reactive chlorine,
leading to ozone depletion in the presence of sunlight (WMO/UNEP, 1994).
Daily minimum temperatures over the polar region, 65N to 90N at 50 mb (approximately 19 km) are
shown in Figure 4. We see that during December and January of 1996-97, the daily minimum
temperatures were above or near the long-term average minimum temperatures. However, in
February, temperatures decreased markedly, and reached sufficiently low values (lower than -78 C)
for polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) to form and allow enhanced ozone depletion. Indeed, during
February and March 1997, minimum 50 mb temperatures were at record low values. The polar
vortex during the winter of 1996-97 was very stable, and persisted through the end of March, with
no substantial stratospheric warming in the lower and middle stratosphere. While PSCs are
commonly observed during winter, PSCs are not usual in late March in the northern hemisphere. The
unusually persistent vortex of 1997 allowed PSCs to form in March.
Figure 5 shows monthly mean temperature anomalies at 50 mb for three latitude regions, 90N-65N,
65N-25N, and 25N-25S (updated from Gelman et al., 1986). The temperature anomaly for March
1997 was a record low value for north polar latitudes, and also below the long term average
for mid-latitudes, while the equatorial region anomaly was slightly positive in March for
the first time since 1993. Temperature anomalies for winter seasons (December, January, February)
since 1958, for the 100-50 mb layer derived from radiosonde data (updated from Angell, 1988), are shown in
Figure 6. Temperature anomalies for the Northern Hemisphere as a whole were similar to the record low values
of 1995-96 and 1994-95. Temperatures for the north polar region were also below the 30-year
Anomalies of zonal mean total column ozone are shown in Figure 7, as a function of latitude and
time, from January 1979 to March 1997. The monthly mean anomalies (percent difference) are
derived relative to each month's 1979-1997 average for each latitude. In the tropical region, a weak
high anomaly is seen in 1996-97 (green area), as part of the quasi-biennial oscillation of total ozone.
For the winter of 1996-97, negative total ozone anomalies are seen for the extra-tropics of the
Northern Hemisphere. Again in 1997, as in recent years, zonal mean total ozone at high-latitudes
has been about 10 percent lower than the long-term average, and more than 20 percent lower than
in the earlier years. At mid-latitudes, the anomaly was negative during 1996-97, in contrast to the
positive anomalies in 1995-96. The large negative anomalies in the Northern Hemisphere extra-tropics
during 1992-1993 (Gleason et al., 1993 and Solomon et al., 1996) have been related to the
Mt. Pinatubo eruption in mid-1991. Stolarski et al. (1992), Hollandsworth et al. (1994) and Miller
et al. (1994) have indicated that middle latitude Northern Hemisphere total ozone trends of about
-2 to -4 % per decade are statistically significant, and that little or no significant trend exists over the
equatorial region. For the region 30N-50N (the basic latitude range of the coterminous United
States), the trend, based on the SBUV and SBUV/2 data sets, and updated from 1979 through March
1997 is about -4 percent per decade, with a 95 percent confidence estimate of about 2 percent.
The NOAA Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory operates a 16-station global Dobson
spectrophotometer network for total ozone trend studies. Figure 8 shows the total ozone data for
four central U.S. stations. The large annual variation is a result of ozone transport processes which
cause a winter-spring maximum and summer-fall minimum at northern mid-latitudes. The average
value for 1979 has been subtracted from each individual monthly value for 1979-1996. These are
shown in Figure 9 as a four-station average percent deviation, and the resulting trend is -3.9 percent
per decade.
Observed total ozone values continued to be very low over high latitude regions of the Northern
Hemisphere during the winter of 1996-97. Lower stratosphere temperatures over the north polar
region also reached record low values. A full explanation of ozone and temperature anomalies must
include all aspects of ozone photochemistry and meteorological dynamics.

Beyond the street protests: Youth, women and democracy in Latin America | Jessica Faieta
28 Apr 2014
Recently we invited three young women parliamentarians from Latin America and the Caribbean to join a discussion in Salamanca, Spain, on young women's political participation in the region. That's what Paola Pabón from Ecuador, Silvia Alejandrina Castro from El Salvador and Gabriela Montaño from Bolivia have in common. They are among the very few women in parliaments and they are young: they broke a double glass ceiling.
Of the 600 million people in Latin America and the Caribbean, more than 26 percent are aged 15 to 29. This is a unique opportunity for the region's development and for its present and future governance. Even though the average regional rate of women in parliament is 25 percent, higher than the global average, a closer look shows that women still lag behind.
Our recent survey of 25 parliaments in Latin America and the Caribbean shows a very low representation of youth in the region's parliaments – especially those of African or indigenous descent. Only 2.7 percent of male parliamentarians in the region and 1.3 percent of women MPs were under 30 years old. Our regional Human Development Reports have shown that young people have enormous potential as agents of change. But despite Latin America's remarkable progress in reducing poverty and inequality—and its strides toward democracies with free and transparent elections—gender, income, ethnic origin or dwelling conditions are all decisive barriers to young citizens' rights and civic engagement.
One in every four young people in the region is poor or extremely poor. And only 35 percent of them have access to education. More worrying still: some 20 million young Latin Americans aged 15-18 neither work nor study. That's nearly one in every five.
The region's youth have been taking to the streets, playing a central role in recent protests in countries like Brazil, Chile, Peru and Mexico. The increasing frequency of such mobilizations tells us that young people want to actively participate in their society's development. The first Ibero-American Youth Survey—which we launched last year— shows that young people in Latin America, Portugal and Spain expect their participation to increase over the next five years. Institutions should provide formal spaces for this, or protests will become the only effective way for young people to make their voices heard.
We are working towards this goal and brought together the region's first young legislators' network in 2013 to boost young people's political participation and inclusion. Our online platform JuventudconVoz (youth voicesis also helping promote young Latin Americans' political participation and leadership skills.
Protests sparked by young Latin Americans will likely continue in several countries. Beyond the street level, in the digital age of social media activism these protests also provide opportunities to rethink democratic governance in the 21st century.

Japanese & Indian Restaurants in Honolulu
Expect most of the Asian restaurants in Honolulu to be busy at mealtimes, so make reservations if you can or arrive before the crowds. Most are also fairly budget-friendly, offer delicious and unique menu items, and are not really tourist-focused, which helps contribute to their popularity with the locals.
On Kapahulu Avenue are three noteworthy Japanese restaurants. Irifune (563 Kapahulu Ave., 808/737-1141, 11:30 am-1:30pm and 5:30pm-9:30pm Tues.-Sat., $10-15) is a curious hole-in-the-wall with some of the best ahi on O'ahu. The entire menu consists of some combination of garlic and ahi, served with local-style sides. This restaurant is very popular, and on the weekends you can expect a wait. They do have a bench outside. Park across the street in the pay parking lot, or there is street parking in the neighborhood behind the restaurant.
Tokkuri Tei (611 Kapahulu Ave., 808/732-6480, 11 am-2pm and 5:30pm-midnight Mon.-Fri., 5:30pm-midnight Sat., 5pm-10:30pm Sun., $4-50) is a popular izakaya restaurant offering traditional Japanese food with French and local influences. It takes several visits to sample the wealth of food on all 13 pages of the menu. It's located on the second floor of Hee Hing Plaza, and there is valet parking under the plaza. Reservations are necessary.
At the opposite end of Kapahulu Avenue, just off the main drag, is another top-notch izakaya establishment offering traditional Japanese fare. Izakaya Nonbei (3108 Olu St., 808/734-5573, 5pm-11:30pm Mon.-Thurs., 5pm-1:30am Fri.-Sat., 5pm-10:30pm Sun., $6-25) is a small restaurant with a sushi bar and shared and private seating. They have a vast selection of sake and beer, but they are known for their frozen sake.
Sometimes the restaurants that are the hardest to find turn out to be the best. This is the case at Imanas Tei (2626 S. King St., 808/941-2626, 5pm-11:30pm Mon.-Sat., $6-10). Tucked away behind the 7-11, the traditional Japanese menu is a favorite with locals, as well as the chanko nabe, a hearty seafood stew. There are only a few designated parking stalls for Imanas Tei, so if they're full, you'll need to park at Puck's Alley around the corner off University Avenue; the plaza has a paid parking lot.
Himalayan Kitchen (1137 11th Ave., #205, 808/735-1122, 11am-2pm and 5:30pm-10pm Tues.-Fri., 5:30pm-10pm Sat.-Mon., $11-22) serves Nepali and Indian cuisine in a small restaurant with indoor and patio seating. This second-story BYOB is a local favorite and often packed with those seeking their variety of vegetarian and meat dishes. The entrance to the restaurant is in an alcove between a gift store, a barbecue joint, an Italian restaurant, and a salon. There is a paid parking lot with ample parking.
Cafe Maharani (2509 S. King St., 808/951-7447, 5pm-10pm daily, $14-16) is an award-winning casual restaurant blending natural ingredients and a host of spices to create some of the most sought after Indian food in Honolulu.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- Troy Brouwer scored twice and Braden Holtby recorded a shutout Saturday in the Washington Capitals' 5-0 pasting of Florida.
Brouwer's tallies gave Washington a 2-0 lead by early in the second period and the Capitals never looked back in winning for only the third time in 12 games to start the season.
Mathieu Perreault and Joel Ward each added a goal and an assist. Holtby turned aside all 27 shots he faced in logging his fourth career whitewash.
Florida's Jose Theodore started in net and was torched for five scores on 21 shots before pulled midway through the third period.
Scott Clemmensen relieved and stopped four shots the rest of the way for the Panthers, who were coming off a Thursday win over Philadelphia.

After Self Coaching...
My girlfriend had a very difficult year with things such as moving, struggling with a new job, dead of her grandfather and a miscarriage that affected both of us. While she turned depressed I handled the situation in a bad way. My lack of maturity to recognize the symptoms and provide the adequate support made us go in different directions emotionally. This created an immense amount of anxiety in me with all of its elements that come with it. We decided to give us some time apart so that she can deal with her depression and I could overcome anxiety. It was affecting her been around my anxiety. We haven't talked in a while as we agreed and I spent my time learning and implementing your Self Coaching program. Im truly grateful for your insight. I went from wanting to die to been full of positive energy that someday I would like to bring into my relationship and demonstrate her that it doesn't has to be like before. She's getting professional help, but last time we spoke she said she was emotionally numb and confused. We decided to give us 2 months of space. Once its time to sit and talk, how could I provide her with the adequate support and make her feel secure and hopefully create a more stable relationship.
Im about to start reading your book: Reconnecting...
Seems to me from your note that you've already come a long way toward the "maturity" that you say you were lacking. Maturity is synonymous taking responsibility for life's challenges. Since your separation, that's exactly what you've done! I think it's important for your girlfriend to know how much effort you've put into your maturation process. Your anxiety was related to the chaotic situation that you were both dealing with. When feeling out of control, we have a tendency to panic. The more that insecurity calls the shots, the more anxiety and panic one can expect.
I'm glad you've decided to read Self-Coaching, I believe you need to continue to grow and mature by defusing insecurity. With a Self-Coaching foundation, you should be able to insist on a healthier, more resilient attitude. Your girlfriend should be able to sense your newfound stability and maturity; together you need to help each other get through these tough times. The last thing either one of you should want would be to let insecurity (a.k.a., insecurity, fear, panic, negativity, etc.) prevent you from going forward. Stay positive and insist on continuing your efforts (for a bit of encouragement you may want to view a video I just made on optimism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIiN7yhDGco). I admire you tenacity, which I'm sure will show you the way toward a more secure relationship.
I do wish you well,
Dr. Joe

R&B singer Lauryn Hill has been sentenced to 3 months in prison for failing to pay nearly $1 million in federal and state taxes, The Associated Press reports.
She dodged a bullet on this one.
Hill was facing up to three years in prison for three misdemeanor counts of federal tax evasion. Up until Sunday, she had yet to come up with the cash to cover her bill.
But the singer finally made good on her debt in the eleventh hour, paying back more than $900,000 in taxes owed.
It's likely because of that payment that the judge lessened Hill's sentence.
In late April, a New Jersey Magistrate Judge lectured the Fugees front woman when she failed to meet another deadline to pay the debt. The judge gave her a few extra weeks to come up with the cash, and her attorney promised Hill was making new music and expecting real estate income soon.
"This is not someone who stands before the court penniless," U.S. Magistrate Judge Madeline Cox Arleo said at the hearing. "This is a criminal matter. Actions speak louder than words, and there has been no effort here to pay these taxes."
That all changed Sunday.
"Ms. Hill has not only now fully paid, prior to sentencing, her taxes, which are part of her criminal restitution, but she has additionally fully paid her federal and state personal taxes for the entire period under examination through 2009," her attorney, Nathan Hochman, told Reuters.
In a Tumblr post Friday, Hill shared a link to her first new song in years, "Neurotic Society." From the sound of the note she wrote, Hill was pressured to release the song in light of her pending sentencing.
"Here is a link to a piece that I was 'required' to release immediately, by virtue of the impending legal deadline," she wrote. "I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music… but the message is still there."

It's Fat Quarter Gang time over on Art Gallery Fabrics today and I'm going to show you all how to make the Patricia Infinity Cowl using only 6 fat quarters! Woot woot! It's a great beginner project to practice piecing and working in 3 dimensional forms. I love making things that have multiple looks and living on the West Coast of BC in Canada means I wear a lot of cowls and layers. The Patricia Cowl doesn't disappoint. With the option to have 3 prints/solids per side you can have a total of 6 different fabrics to show off! Hello! Fun!!!!!!!! It's warm, huge, and perfect with your fave jacket but could also easily be worn with a tee in the warmer months for some added flair!
Wear it single looped or double it up (my fave) the Patricia Infinity Cowl is sure to be your new fave accessory this winter.You can easily change up your fabrics by turning the cowl inside out and bam! - you have a whole new look!
When choosing my fabrics for my latest Fat Quarter Gang project I could not resist the lure of Pat Bravo's Rock N' Romance line. I'm a gemini and love the play on soft and hard for this line. It appeals to both parts of my personality. And since I'm always changing my mind about what color or vibe I want to wear this suits me perfectly. I also think this cowl would be equally as fabulous in some bright solids. That's next up on my list. Art Gallery Fabrics (along with gorgeous prints) makes some awesome color palettes of solids and who can resist that darn pima cotton! The drape and softness is so amazing!
So go pick your fave new fabric crushes and let's get sewing your newest fave accessory! Head on over to Art Gallery Fabrics for the whole tutorial in an easy downloadable PDF :) Perfect for that real last minute gift (this takes literally about 30-45mins from start to finish) or for some selfish sewing after the holidays. Go on....spoil yourself...you deserve it!
Want to win some Rock 'N Romance of your own?

I turned on my sportrak map today and i got the message "unit currently contains no map! initiating map upload!" Anyone know what happened . . . and is there anyway to fix it!??? Thanks!!
I turned on my sportrak map today and i got the message "unit currently contains no map! initiating map upload!" Anyone know what happened . . . and is there anyway to fix it!??? Thanks!!
This happened to me one time with the 60 c I had by accident remove the map from map source by highlighting all of the state because I thought it was easier to see. Then I shipped it to the unit. What I had done was select the area that I didn't want shipped. Try sending the map and waypoints from your soft ware agian.
Good luck!!
I tried that, but the software can't see my GPS.
Alex from Team Nirvana uses a Sport trek He may be able to help. Try PMing him.
My mapping software (Mapsend) has to be set as the same baud rate as the receiver, If they are different the computer can't find it. There is a search program to look at for the receiver at different baud rates that may help. (Click options, GPS settings, autodetect) ALso go to properties on My Computer, Device Manager and see if he computer can see the receiver regardless of baud rate.) Worst case is that the receiver has jumped off into gps hell. I would be calling techinical support at Magellan if that dosent work
What; Me Worry?
did that already with mapsend and it couldnt find it... i just looked in device manager and the computer does see comm 1. Ive been trying since yesterday too get ahold of tech support on the phone and that was a no go. I also sent them email, and they sent a reply but that didnt help. So i sent them a reply saying that and no reply back yet.
Maybe what I need is the basemap image file???
I just connected my receiver to mapsend. After it found it, the device manager did not show it. The manager did report that com1 was funtioning correctly. So that is not helpful info. You said basemap. Is there a simple map on the display? Adding Mapsend adds contour lines and all the extra detail. If there is no base map, I would be thinking a hardware problem exists in the receiver.
What; Me Worry?
when i turn the gps on it beeps once and i get "unit currently contains no map! initiating map upload!" after that i can do nothing else. i have to take the batteries out to turn it off.
You can try this person. I use her for all might GPSr questions..
Peggy at the Map Store in Old Town, Maine
Her # is 207 827 4511. If nothing else she can give you a better number so that you are not on hold at megellan for so long.
Good luck
Bravo Dave! I forgot about Peggy. That's where I got my receiver.
What; Me Worry?

I'm still feeling a little rattled.
I was loading groceries into my car when an older woman with perfectly sprayed hair and a sparkly gold top came stalking over to me.
"You are dumb as crap!" she said with a sneer.
"Excuse me?"
"Dumb as crap!" she repeated, pointing at the magnet on the back of my car that said, "Health care for all."
I have a few liberal leaning stickers, such as, "God bless the people of every nation," and "Question war," plus one that says, "I can't believe I'm still protesting this crap!"
She started walking away and I said, "Losing a child to our broken health care system has colored my opinion."
"Keep chattering, Miss Dumb as Crap!" she said.
She opened the door to a huge gas guzzler of a car and threw her purse in. On the back of the car was a bumper sticker that read, "I wear lipstick and I own a gun," which is OK by me as long as you know how to use it safely and you don't go around shooting people you don't like — like me.
"I suppose you're a Christian," I said as I walked my empty grocery cart to the corral on the other side of her car.
She sneered at me again and got into her car.
"Well, there goes the love of Jesus," I announced loudly as she slammed the car and other people in the parking lot smiled. One woman looked at me and shrugged her shoulders.
So, she looked like the aggressor, which she was. I looked like the reasonable one, which took a lot of effort, believe me.
But why did she hate me just because we disagree? What's more, what made her think we didn't have ANY common ground?
If she had been carrying her gun in a stand-your-ground state, she could have pulled it out and shot me as I walked toward her with my empty grocery cart, even though the cart corral was on the other side of her car.
She could have claimed she felt threatened, especially if I wasn't white.
That is no exaggeration.
George Zimmerman was declared not guilty after shooting an unarmed teenager — after stalking him and chasing him down — because he felt threatened.
We live in a culture where it's OK to hate people who disagree with you — in fact, it's encouraged.
We are told people who disagree with us have little or no worth, that they're stupid and that we can aggressively corner them and tell them that.
And in stand-your-ground states, we can then open fire on them when they get mad right back at us.
I felt absolutely furious at that woman. Who the hell is she to judge me, knowing absolutely nothing about me as a fellow human being?
It took some real self-control not to yell insults back at her.
But someone had to be the grownup here, and I already knew it wasn't going to be her.
Since George Zimmerman has been set free, it seems to me like it's open season on anyone you think can be provoked into making you feel threatened.

Gonerfest visitors have been dealt a mighty blow in the past few years. Two hotels, The French Quarter and the Artisan, were both central to all the events for Gonerfest. Alas, they are gone. The list that follows is the closest places to Midtown, where Goner Records and the festival is happening. There are more expensive hotels downtown (The Peabody, The Madison, etc) and affordable hotels 15 minutes East out I-40, so these are by no means the only options.
You may be able to find a great hotel via Priceline or other bargain hotel websites as well.
You might also try this site for Memphis apartment rentals during the festival dates:
We did not receive any special Gonerfest deal from any of these hotels or sites,

I never watched that show but Jackie is pretty hot. I heard about her string of girlfriends. I hope Jillian never went through women like that. I'm curious as what her type is. I really doubt it's the creepy thin girls.
Oh and I don't have a profile cause I don't have a blog or anything. I just decided to use my nickname.
And you know what? More I think about it, Heather Rhoades a.k.a. Mouse might just be a close friend. I'd totally share a pet with a friend. I'm really hoping they are not dating. They probably are though......

You should look at the show...well the first series anyway. Thats all thats been shown here. I started watching it accidentally and thought it was a piss take "mockumentary", it took about 3 episodes before I realised it was real. The gf in the first series was HORRENDOUS.
As I've pointed out before, Jillian opened Sky sport and spa with Jackie Warner...it says so deep in Jillians bio on her website.

ewwww gross. Jillian is a super hottie. She needs to be with someone equally as hot.
Wait, I'm being mean. That girl could have a really great personality and be super funny or something. Or be really great in bed.
And yes, it's now common knowledge that she owns a bar with Jackie Warner.
You know, Jillian doesn't need to come out because it's just known. Like with Jodie Foster. We just know.

There we go! Something I can believe. A lot of photos conjure up some serious speculation, but if a contestant says so, that's that. I think she's bi though, not a total lez because on her facebook page, there's more picture of her kissing a guy who looks like the one in her hot tub, so I'd have to disagree that the hot tub pic is her brother. The profile says the guy's name is Curt. And in the pictures, he is rediculously skinny, too, just like the gf in the myspace pics.

more proof. shes in colorado doing something for biggest loser, and mouse is there with her. she posted a pic of mouse & bob on her twitter page. A few hours later someone posted something to her and jillian replied, "sorry i'm taken, literally the significant other is sitting here right now". kinda gives it all away when she posted a pic of mouse with bob earlier on her page. but now the pic is mysteriously gone. why doesn't she just come out already? jesus.......

FYI to get here I did not GOOGLE is Jillian Michaels a lesbian, i GOOGLE'd "jillian michaels lesbian". just for clarification.
and for stupid Anonymous, we are not stalking her. she adds so many strangers on facebook and twitter. it's pretty much known that we are all fans. if she doesn't want people knowing her personal life, she should censor what she posts or who she adds to her friends list. plain and simple.

Another clarifiction of her gayness (lol)...
Yesterday on her twitter page she wrote that she was at the NBC Holiday Party. Then today on her facebook page she posted a grip of pictures from it, and there are all kinds of pics of mouse, mouse with bob, mouse with nbc big wigs, etc. Oh yeah, and there are a few pics of Bob & Mouse and jillians captions for them are along the lines of, "roberto & his "woman" mouse", "mouse and bob. just stop already. puke", and "ugghh"....

Usually when people go to a Holiday party, they bring their significant other, not their friend. So, if my premise is correct those pics and lack of mention of a S/O is another clue.

More pictures of Mouse on Jillian's facebook. Accompanied by the usual comments of her fans chiding people for suggesting that they are more than friends. Jeez. She could post pictures of them having sex and you would still get comments that they are just really good friends.

Apparently in Ladies Home Journal, Jillian was quoted as saying that she would be glad to be in a healthy relationship with anyone, male or female. She says, "If I fall in love with a woman, that's awesome. If I fall in love with a man, that's awesome. As long as you fall in love ... It's like organic food. I only eat healthy food, and I only want healthy love!""

actually, not any more speculation. she said she was misquoted on them saying that she STOLE A CAR...she said she stole her MOMS car...not just some random car. That's what she meant.
And anyway, on her facebook page today she said that, "It was getting dark out & suddenly the lights upstairs all came on. I went to text Mouse about it and my cell reception went out. About 30 seconds after this happened 7 woke up and started barking at nothing.". So that's just more to clarify that Mouse is her girlfriend. Easy as that.

i know i read that too...why couldnt she just say "i went to text a friend" but instead she said I went to text mouse..this obviously means that mouse means more to her that a friend. She is making it so clear that mouse is meaningful to her which i think is so sweet. I'm glad she is happy. =)

Computer Science ColloquiumIm Rahmen des Informatik-Kolloquiums, das von den Instituten des Fachbereichs Informatik, der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Informatik (ÖGI), der Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Datenverarbeitung (ADV) sowie der Österreichischen Computergesellschaft (OCG) abgehalten wird, spricht
Dr. Robert Griesemer
Google Inc., Mountain View, CAüber das Thema:
It's so much nicer to program in Go --- A guided tourZeit: Tue 12.10.2010, 16:15, 60 Minuten
Ort: HS 8, Physikgebäude
ZusammenfassungGo is a statically typed language we developed at Google for general purpose programming. It compiles to optimized machine code, yet it feels as light-weight and nimble as a scripting language. There is little typing. Object-orientation and concurrency are straightforward. Compilation is fast. When we look at programs written in other lan-guages, we often think of how much nicer they could be written in Go. In this talk we explain Go's most important features and how they affect everyday programming.
VortragenderRobert Griesemer is a software engineer at Google and one of the authors of the Go programming language. He has two decades of experience in the implementation of programming languages and industry-leading virtual machines. Prior to Go, Robert worked on code generation for Google's V8 JavaScript engine, the design and implementation of the domain-specific language Sawzall, the Java HotSpot virtual machine, and the Strongtalk system. He once wrote a vectorizing compiler for the Cray Y-MP and an interpreter for APL. He is a fan of technology that "just works". Robert holds a Ph.D. in computer science from ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology).

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
This morning my wife and I had sex and I found blood in my sperm. I am 65 and in good health. Is this something that I should be concerned about?
Alan J. Wein, MD, Professor and chair of the Division of Urology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Chief of Urology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Hematospermia (the fancy name for blood in the semen) can be due to a number of things, but is most often due to inflammation or infection. Generally speaking, if there is no blood in the urine (a microscopic examination of the urine is necessary to determine this), and if a digital rectal exam of the prostate is normal (nothing to suggest cancer) and the serum PSA is normal, then hematospermia does not signify anything serious. However, a full evaluation by a urologist should be carried out when this occurs for the first time.

So if you read my last post about the SFMusicTech, you know that I'm back on a music metadata kick. While I'm sure I was a little more in-tuned to it because of work that I am doing with one of my clients, it seems like I heard 'if we just had the metadata' a lot at this conference. This is something that I have been thinking about for a long time (lets say since 2007 when I first registered the muzetta.com), so I'm going to try and pull my current thoughts together around this.
So to begin with, what is this magical metadata, and how does it help us? The short answer is it's the information about all the music you like to listen to – the track title, artist, release year, genre, etc. How does this help us? It depends on who you are. If you are a music consumer, it can help you find what you want to listen to, as well as learn interesting facts about that music and perhaps find cool related music. If you are an artist or label, proper metadata helps get you paid. In this digital age, where we are buying or renting (streaming) 'bits' instead of plastic discs, payment comes from identifying and reporting on these tracks; this is why you will find a lot of passion in the industry about proper metadata.
So whats the problem then? The problem is that currently there is no authoritative, freely available source of metadata that is used across the industry. Currently there are many islands of metadata controlled by different organizations with different agendas; generally this data is hard to obtain, and once obtained, there is no good way to tie it all together.
So whats the solution? I think it really comes down to follow the money. Currently there is a lot of money clogging up the system, both figuratively and literally. By providing a way to make this money flow more effectively, we may be able to fix the problem. The challenge is there are incumbents that would rather sit on this money, and it is going to take a bit of both carrot and stick in order to get them to move.
I'm going to further explain and explore possible solutions to this problem over the next couple of posts. In the meantime, join the conversation. Is this a problem that only a few of us metadata geeks care about, or is this a larger problem that needs solving?

Nearly two out of every three adults in the United States is overweight.
Experts often rely on a formula called the body mass index (BMI) to determine if a person is overweight. The BMI estimates your level of body fat based on your height and weight.
The risk of many medical problems is higher for adults who have excess body fat and fall into the overweight groups.
An active lifestyle and plenty of exercise, along with healthy eating, is the safest way to lose weight. Even modest weight loss can improve your health. Get support from family and friends.
Your main goal should be to learn new, healthy ways of eating and make them part of your daily routine.
Many people find it hard to change their eating habits and behaviors. You may have practiced some habits for so long that you may not even know they are unhealthy, or you do them without thinking. You need to be motivated to make lifestyle changes. Make the behavior change part of your life over the long term. Know that it takes time to make and keep a change in your lifestyle.
Work with your health care provider and dietitian to set realistic and safe daily calorie counts that help you lose weight. Keep in mind that if you drop pounds slowly and steadily, you are more likely to keep them off. Your dietitian can teach you about:
Jensen MD, Ryan DH, Apvian CM, et al. 2013 AHA/ACC/TOS guideline for the management of overweight and obesity in adults: a report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines and The Obesity Society. Circulation. 2014;129:S102-S138.

Inside AAA is a blog series that provides readers the opportunity to get a glimpse of the people who work for you, the AAA member. In this series, staff members provide insight on their job and themselves.
This week, Inside AAA features Jason G. Watkins, CMP. He is AAA's Director of Meetings.
What is your favorite on-the-job task?
Developing the framework of logistics surrounding the annual meeting is one of my favorite on-the-job tasks. The framework includes not only the host city and facilities, but managing all of the multiple vendors it takes to produce a 6,000 person program. Even when the annual meeting is happening we are working on the following years events. Imagine the Olympic logo – five circles. For the AAA meetings department each of those five circles represents a meeting we're working on at any given time: the current year, the following year, and the three years ahead. For us to be able to keep all of that going is exciting and makes for very interesting days in the office.
What is the most rewarding on-the-job moment?
One of the rewarding aspects of the job is working with the dedicated volunteers of the program committee (aka Section Program Editors), the executive program committee and the executive program chair. What's even better is seeing the event as it is happening, the excitement of 6,000 anthropologists in one central area in deep discussion, dialogue and creative expression of ideas. And the moment when I see the program chair or a section editor during the meeting and they say "Hey, we actually did it!" is the most rewarding.
What is the most bizarre object in your office?
I have a collection of name badges from events and conferences I have attended hanging on my door. The collection serves no purpose other than to annoy me anytime I try to close the door, as they inevitably get stuck or in the way. But, for some reason I cannot let myself throw one away or stop collecting them. You never know when you'll need a name badge?
What is your favorite activity outside of work?
In the last two-three years I have been doing more running (albeit slowly). It is great for stress relief and a jump start to the day. Plus, it is awesome to be able to run through the national mall and by the national monuments at sunrise. About 5.5 million people live the DC metropolitan area, but at that hour the monuments are shared only between me and the other 20 or so people crazy enough to get up that early.

Now is the time to remind people about the risk of Salmonella infection from handling live baby chicks, often purchased as Easter presents. There has already been one case of salmonellosis in a Maine child in 2011 after contact with baby chicks that were kept inside.
Salmonella causes diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps and can be life-threatening in infants, children under five years of age, and in people with weakened immune systems. The stress of hatching and shipping many chicks at one time increases the chance that the chicks will become infected and shed bacteria. Baby chicks do not usually seem sick even when they are infected.
What can parents do to keep children safe?
It is best if infants and children under five do not touch chicks. If they do, take the following steps to lower the spread of bacteria:
· Supervise children while playing with baby chicks.
· Do not allow children to kiss or put hands or other objects (pacifiers, toys, bottles) in their mouths after handling chicks.
· Pacifiers, toys, bottles, or other objects should not touch the baby chicks or their living environment.
· Wash children's hands well with plenty of running water and soap after contact with chicks.
· Keep chicks away from food handling areas.
· Do not eat or drink while interacting with baby chicks or their environment.
· If baby chicks are kept inside due to cold weather, keep them away from living spaces.
If your child has had contact with baby chicks and gets diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, contact your healthcare provider.
