Use forwarders to get data in
Forwarders are lightweight Splunk instances whose purpose is to consume data and forward it on to Splunk Enterprise indexers for further processing. They require minimal resources and have little impact on performance, so they can usually reside on the machines where the data originates.
For example, if you have a number of Apache servers generating data that you want to search centrally, you can install a Splunk Enterprise indexer and then set up forwarders on the Apache machines. The forwarders take the Apache data and send it on to the indexer, which then consolidates, stores, and makes it available for searching. Because of their light footprint, the forwarders have minimum performance impact on the Apache servers.
Similarly, you can install forwarders on your employees' Windows desktops. These can send logs and other data to a central Splunk Enterprise instance, where you can view the data as a whole to track malware or other issues.
What forwarders do
You can use forwarders to get data from remote machines. They represent a much more robust solution than raw network feeds, with their capabilities for:
- Tagging of metadata (source, sourcetype, and host)
- Configurable buffering
- Data compression
- SSL security
- Use of any available network ports
- Running scripted inputs locally
Forwarders consume data in the same way as any other Splunk Enterprise instance. They can handle exactly the same types of data as an indexer. The difference is that they usually do not index the data themselves. Instead, they just get the data and send it on to a central indexer, which does the indexing and searching. A single indexer can process data coming from many forwarders. For detailed information on forwarders, see the Fowarding Data manual.
In most Splunk Enterprise deployments, forwarders serve as the primary consumers of data. It's only in single-machine deployments that the indexer is likely to also be the main data consumer. In a large Splunk Enterprise deployment, you might have hundreds or even thousands of forwarders consuming data and forwarding it on to a group of indexers for consolidation.
How to configure forwarder inputs
As lightweight instances of Splunk Enterprise, forwarders have limited capabilities by design. For example, most forwarders do not include Splunk Web, so you do not have direct access to a UI for setting up the forwarder's data inputs. Here are the main ways that you can configure a forwarder's data inputs:
- Specify inputs during initial deployment. For Windows forwarders, you can specify common inputs during the installation process itself. For *nix forwarders, you can specify inputs directly after installation.
- Use the CLI.
- Edit inputs.conf.
- Deploy an app containing the desired inputs.
- Use Splunk Web on a full Splunk Enteprise test instance to configure the inputs and then distribute the resulting
inputs.conffile to the forwarder itself.
For more information
For detailed information on forwarders, including use cases, typical topologies, and configurations, see "About forwarding and receiving" in the Forwarding Data manual.
For details on forwarder deployment, including how to use the deployment server to simplify distribution of configuration files and apps to multiple forwarders, see "Universal forwarder deployment overview" in the Forwarding Data manual.
For information on using forwarders for monitoring of remote Windows data, see "Considerations for deciding how to monitor remote Windows data".
Is my data local or remote?

The palm-sized MPro110 has a VGA and composite video input, so it'll be good for either your laptop or portable gadgets with video-out. It's got manual focus, but no speaker—but for most purposes I guess you won't miss that. The guys at PopSci liked it, noting that it's pretty basic but projects nicely onto walls, desks, paper and people in a variety of lighting conditions. We'll have to wait to closer to the launch to hear more details, but the gizmo is set to cost $359. [PopSci via TheEarthTimes]

A day after voicing opposition to expanding Medicaid in his inaugural speech of the 2013 session, Florida House Speaker Will Weatherford issued a statement clarifying a confusing, but crucial, part of the speech.
Weatherford told House members on Tuesday that he opposed the expansion because it crossed the line of "proper government." He shared an emotional story about his brother Peter, who died at 20-months in 1995 when he was 15.
His medical care was too expensive for his family to afford, but a "safety net" helped out, he said.
Weatherford, however, didn't describe what that safety net was. When reached by the Times/Herald after the speech, Weatherford's father said Medicaid paid more than $100,000 in costs.
Asked by reporters on Tuesday if Medicaid paid the bills, Weatherford said that it had not. When told that his father had said they were covered by Medicaid, Weatherford said he would learn more.
A day later, Weatherford said his research showed that medical care was paid for by the Medically Needy Program, which does get paid for with Medicaid dollars.
Here's the release:
Tallahassee, FL – The following statement was released today by House Speaker Will Weatherford regarding his personal experience as an uninsured Floridian.
"Yesterday, I spoke about the death of my brother Peter and my family's personal struggles. The hospital bills that accumulated from the wonderful care Peter received were insurmountable. We did not have health insurance because we couldn't afford it.
"In speaking with my father prior to sharing this story, he believed the safety net that supported us was as a result of private and government funded charity. He did not believe that we were enrolled in Medicaid. After being questioned further by a reporter, my father recalled signing paperwork that may have resulted in Peter receiving Medicaid assistance after his surgery.
"As a result, my family worked to verify exactly what form of the safety net helped us in our time of need. Today, we learned that Peter was covered under the Medically Needy program, which is a temporary month to month form of assistance, while at All Children's Hospital.
"It is not surprising that recollections would be cloudy surrounding a time of great sorrow and difficulty. Now that the safety net that benefitted my family has been clearly identified, I trust that the debate can return to the important question of Medicaid expansion and its impact on the economic and personal freedom of Floridians.
"As I stated yesterday, I believe in the safety net. My family benefitted from the safety net. Children living in poverty today are offered coverage under Medicaid or Kidcare in Florida. Expanding Medicaid will not extend coverage to a single low-income child under 18 in Florida because they are already covered, just like Peter was.
"The inflexible law that has been pushed down to states like Florida does not allow us to target populations that are vulnerable, but requires us to provide full coverage to populations that we have never covered before. There is no dispute that private insurance is better for the health, welfare, and true needs of Floridians. I look forward to continuing to work with the Select Committee on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to investigate options that may be better for our state."

The 2012 Phillies: A Season to Forget
The torture that was the 2012 Phillies season is finally over. And sadly, it ended just as I predicted before the season even began; without a playoff bid. I was hoping to be wrong about that.
Since the Phillies won the World Series in 2008, each year they have taken exactly one step backwards. So this year, missing the playoffs seemed like their destiny. They lost the World Series in 2009; lost the NL Championship Series in 2010; lost the NL Division Series in 2011; and now, the next logical step has arrived. The Phillies will go home early without even a sniff at a post-season run.
Remember happy days like these?:
For now, they are gone :O(
The first casualties of the 2012 disaster are already accounted for. Bench coach Pete Mackanin, hitting coach Greg Gross and first base coach Sam Perlozzo have all been given their walking papers. More fallout is probably on the horizon, but it will probably involve players, not coaches.
So who else should stay and who should go? Here are some thoughts, starting with the offense:
In 195 at-bats, Kevin Frandsen hit .338, which led the team. And for an entire month, he played with a stress fracture in his leg, yet he still kept hitting. I say put him at 3rd base and get a back-up in case of injuries.
If the Phillies do not re-sign Juan Pierre, they are insane. He hit .307 in 394 at-bats, led the team in stolen bases with 37 and he is the best bunter you can find anywhere.
Bring Shane Victorino back! After a depressing second half with the Dodgers, his price will go down, possibly to the point where the Phillies can afford to resign him. John Mayberry Jr. and Domonic Brown can platoon and then the Phils need another outfielder or two.
Needs to Go: Nate Schierholtz, Ty Wigginton, Michael Martinez. Martinez is good defensively, but hit only .174 in 115 at-bats. They can find a better utility guy. And we are stuck with Laynce Nix for one more year unless someone is willing to trade for him…not likely.
Back-up Catcher: In – Erik Kratz; Out – Brian Schneider.
Relief Pitching: Jonathan Papelbon stays and probably Antonio Bastardo. I will also put in votes for Jeremy Horst and Phillipe Aumont. The maybes are Jake Diekman and Justin DeFratus, although DeFratus needs to be 100% healthy, which I feel is still in question. Michael Stutes may return, but no one is sure in what condition.
Please Go Away: Josh Lindblom – trade him (if anyone wants him). He has been awful. This team needs some veteran help in the pen.
Please Come Back: Ryan Madson!
As for starters, unless someone's arm falls off, stick with the usual 5: Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay (pray he gets healthy), Vance Worley and Kyle Kendrick.
And of course, all the usual suspects, like Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, Carlos Ruiz, etc… will be back. But will they be healthy? That is the looming question.
To give an idea of how badly the injuries hurt the team this year, consider this: I may be missing some, but by looking at the team stats, at least 49 different players made an appearance for the Phillies this year, rotating in and out of the 25-man roster. Also, only 2 players of those 49 reached 400 or more at-bats; Rollins (632) and Mayberry (441). That is scary.
So the season is over and the healing (quite literally) shall begin. Do you have any thoughts you would like to share about this season? Feel free to leave comments below.

KDE Ships November Updates: 4.5.3
Today, KDE has made available 4.5.3, the November updates to the Plasma workspaces, the applications built on top of KDE's platform, and the platform itself. This release, as all x.y.z updates, contains bugfixes, performance improvements and localization updates only. As such, it's a safe upgrade and recommended for everyone running 4.5.2 or earlier. The update contains a number of fixes in Okular, Dolphin and a series of KDE games. Also, the new shared data cache continues to mature.
Naming consistency
I'm wondering if I missed something on the naming convention. Why is there suddenly a new naming convention: Plasma workspaces plus the Platform. Is that supposed to be the same as the software collection ?
Everyone was starting to get used to SC, I don't think it's a good idea to add new names on top of that, but I might miss the point ?
By Francois at Wed, 2010/11/03 - 1:13pm
It hasn't changed, SC was a bit awkward, and wasn't really meant to be used in promo activities, but it's still used when we mean 'Everything that KDE releases at the same time on a 6 month cycle'. The SC was always made up of the three main components, The 'KDE Development Platform' which is kdelibs and so on, the 'Plasma Workspace' which is our desktop offering, and the 'KDE Applications' which are apps that run anywhere, not just on our Workspcae. The only real change recently has been deciding to rename the 'KDE Workspace' as the 'Plasma Workspace'.
By odysseus at Wed, 2010/11/03 - 2:28pm
Actually the 'desktop' offering is Plasma Desktop. We also have a workspace for netbooks, Plasma Netbook. Other workspaces are in development, including Plasma Mobile and Plasma Media Center. Collectively, they are Plasma workspaces.
The SC still exists for as long as we find it convenient to release a group of stuff together (at the moment, we don't see and end to that). However, the SC excludes a lot of stuff, including digiKam and Amarok and includes stuff you probably don't use or even have installed.
So we're talking more about the stuff that is actual, self-contained blocks, like the (currently two) workspaces, the KDE Platform and the (individual) applications. You need the Platform for any of the others but beyond that you can mix and match - run Gtk apps in Plasma Desktop or KDE apps (whether part of the SC or not) in GNOME, XFCE etc.
And yes, we need to be more consistent, clear and elegant in how we write stuff. Work is ongoing.
By Stuart Jarvis at Thu, 2010/11/04 - 4:04pm
Thanks for your answer.
Just an idea, but having some kind of graphical representation to explain what all the "blocks" are and how they interact might help people. It could be on www.kde.org for example.
By Francois at Fri, 2010/11/05 - 8:44am
Good idea
We had a 'map' in the original announcement (http://dot.kde.org/2009/11/24/repositioning-kde-brand) however, that could do with a few tweaks - less hierarchy and more things within other things. I was actually working on a new one a couple of days ago. It could fit well in the about KDE page on kde.org

Any News from the KDE PIM front?
Is it still planned to release an Akonadi-enabled KDE PIM along with one of the KDE 4.5.x releases, or rather with KDE SC 4.6?
I'm really interested in news about this...
Anyway, keep up the good work you're all doing for us users!
By Zapp at Mon, 2010/11/08 - 4:31pm
We've just finished updating the KitchenSync tool last week which is a GUI for OpenSync (currently svn v0.40). I've uplifted the akonadi-sync plugin to work with the current opensync svn code.
There are still some "strange things" to be sourced out.
We expect to have it in official kdepim next, but it will take time, so might be kde4.6 or later will include it as a package or official code.
if you can not wait that long and want to test it for us and help us improve it, then, please, download, compile, install and test. We'll be glad to hear from you. Testing means making backups and not complaining that something is not working as expected.
for the related software, use following links

I just got a new cell phone and was looking for a good sync app, so a working kitchensync would be great indeed.
And back to my previous question: Maybe I'll try the KDE PIM beta packages from the kubuntu experimental ppa and try to help with testing.

if one use that workaround
if one use that workaround thery will proberbly expirience some trouple with tab-ing between windows. I have been talking with some kwin devs on irc and they say that, they would proberbly not re-introduce things needed to use kwin in this kind of settup. Hes advice was to use another window manager than kwin. Just as you know if you ran into same problem as me

Please, adopt Bangarang!
I hadn't another place to make this comment, but I'll do it here.
JuK is almost unmaintained. Dragon Player is in maintenance mode. Why don't you adopt Bangarang as their replacement for 4.7? This gives us tremendous benefits.
1. It erases magically one of the most hated things to do by KDE developers: replace JuK legacy code with KDE 4 code.
Now, how is this related to 4.5.3? Easy: Bangarang HEAD runs beautifully here, in SC 4.5.3, but it has some NEPOMUK hiccups. Maybe if we do this, we can iron those winks and give our KDE desktops a better experience.
EDIT: 3 days after I wrote this, a new update flowed through Git, and I don't have NEPOMUK hiccups anymore!

President Trump Issues Executive Order on Retirement-Related Matters
October 1, 2018
On Aug. 31, 2018, President Trump signed an executive order (EO) that directs the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) to work on a number of new retirement-related regulatory matters. The EO orders the agencies to examine the issues identified below and to release proposed regulations or other guidance, as appropriate. Any changes resulting from the EO are unlikely to go into effect prior to 2020.
Over half of all private sector workers are not covered by a pension plan, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates,1 with lack of coverage particularly acute among lower paid workers and those employed by small employers. Lack of pension coverage is generally not an issue for full-time public sector workers. Here is an overview of the retirement-related matters:
- Expand Private-Sector Plan Participation through Multiple Employer Plans (MEPs)
- Open MEPs. Currently, participating employers in a MEP must have a common industry or other affiliation. These are called "closed MEPs." The DOL could, by regulation, loosen the affiliation requirement, facilitating "open MEPs" which would, in theory, allow smaller employers to achieve economies of scale currently available only to larger employers.
- One bad apple rule. Currently, a compliance failure by one employer in a MEP can put the entire plan's qualification status in jeopardy. The EO directs Treasury to consider guidance that would provide relief from this so-called "one bad apple rule."
- Nontraditional and Gig Economy workers. The EO directs the DOL to "examine policies that would increase retirement security for part-time workers, sole proprietors, working owners, and other entrepreneurial workers with non-traditional employer-employee relationships."
- Retirement Plan Notices, including eDelivery — The EO directs the DOL to consider improvements to required retirement plan notices, to make them "more understandable and useful." The EO specifically directs "an exploration of the potential for broader use of electronic delivery as a way to improve the effectiveness of disclosures and to reduce their associated costs and burdens."
- Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) Updates — The EO includes a directive to consider updating the life expectancy tables in the RMD regulations. These rules determine the minimum amount to be distributed from a plan or IRA after an individual reaches age 70½. Should the tables be updated, the amount that must be distributed at each age would be reduced, which would allow retirees to spread retirement savings over a longer period of time.
ICMA-RC will continue to monitor legislative and regulatory developments resulting from the President's EO.The EO is available at the following link.

I headed down to my first scheduled appointment - an interview with the lovely Katy Goodman and a performance by her band La Sera! Much thanks to Sarah and everyone at ForceField PR for making the arrangements.
Nice mural on the outdoor stage wall of club Red 7 during the ForceField/Terrorbird day party.
Katy and I headed out front to do a photo shoot and then an interview. That audio/video interview will appear in a later entry.
The boys of La Sera are a great bunch of guys who were easy to joke around with. They also are top-notch musicians, so it's easy to see why Katy has them in her band.
Photo shoot done, we sat down and had a nice chat about the new La Sera album - "Sees The Light"

After wide receiver Steve Breaston made visits to the Browns and Steelers last week, there was word that Breaston's lingering knee problems might lead him to go to Germany for the Regenokine treatment that's gained favor with athletes in recent years.
Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports that Breaston does not need the treatment, which has been used by Kobe Bryant, Alex Rodriguez and other athletes to treat their knee problems. Rapoport's source tells him that Breaston was told "he's fine" when looking into the option.
The Regenokine treatment involves removing blood from the body, incubating it, spinning it in a centrifuge and then injecting the resulting serum back into the body to fight inflammation. It has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the United States.
Breaston isn't having the treatment, but there's obviously going to be questions about his knee as he tries to shop his services around the league. Both the AFC North teams passed on signing him, although the Steelers could revisit things down the road. With his jump-start on free agency just about coming to an end, Breaston is about to have a lot of company without those questions joining him on the market. We'll see how that affects his fortunes, but we'd bet against a quick signing.

Given the sense of security that religious faith brings to people -such as quelling the fear of death, answering many of life's important questions, and in addition, the protection of these things through community, is it likely that religion was a necessary component of the evolving human? Perhaps, the first humans who were able to ask "who am I, and why am I here?" used religious belief to protect themselves from those who lacked this cognitive ability.
If this is true, then doesn't that mean that some or most people cannot help how religious ideas overpower their sense of reason. Science and reason then becomes the scalpal for removing this sense of security.
Views: 1147
I'm in the middle of Robert Wright's The Evolution of God, which deals with this very issue. And yes, I think that's largely how religion evolved in the first place - to explain the "Why?" questions. Where did we come from? How did we get here? When do the crops start growing again? Why are we here? What happens when we die? And of course the most dangerous question of all: Who made all this?
Religion became intellectual shorthand for dealing with all those abstract questions that ancient humanity wasn't quite ready to deal with yet, as Douglas Adams described in his speech, Is there an artificial god? "Early man thinks, 'Well, because there's only one sort of being I know about who makes things, whoever made all this must therefore be a much bigger, much more powerful and necessarily invisible, one of me and because I tend to be the strong one who does all the stuff, he's probably male'. And so we have the idea of a god."
However, what we as atheists are failing to take into account is emotion. People generally don't believe in things for solely intellectual reasons, although they can be convinced by a rational argument. People believe things for the emotional impact, and religion has perfected this approach down to a literal science. The problem is not so much convincing people with science and reason, because they may know intellectually that what they believe is absolute nonsense; but if they're emotionally connected to a belief it will be nearly impossible to sever them from it, because neither the belief nor the feeling are rational.
The trouble is that religion offers that sense of security and comfort that most people crave, while atheism only offers insight, rationality and freedom. But if comfortable slavery looks better than rational freedom, what impetus do people have to leave it?
Those are my thoughts as of late. Glad someone else is thinking about this too.
Thank you. I will take a look at Wright's book. Looking back at my experience, my faith was deeply emotionally satisfying. I can see that security of belief has a large emotional component.
Since humans are first emotional beings and second rational, then the idea that the world will somehow wake up and be transformed by as you say, insight, rationality and freedom, seems unlikely-at least in the short term.
Community is deeply entwined in this too. As a Christian, I didn't have so much of an emotional connection to the beliefs or to god as I did to the people in my faith community. That sense of belonging was always much more important. To admit that I didn't believe in god was to turn my back on that community, which included my entire family. That's a powerful thing, and for many people their entire world is comprised that way.
Jill Mytton in The God Delusion: "The process of leaving behind a whole social network, a whole system that you've practically been brought up in . . . Very often you leave families and friends . . . You don't exist any more for them."
I'm reminded of some things I've read recently about people who have "blown" from Scientology, and the reason that they often decide to "route out properly" (even after enduring horrific abuses) is so that they don't lose contact with their family.
There is nothing wrong with
People believe things for the emotional impact, ... if they're emotionally connected to a belief it will be nearly impossible to sever them from it, because neither the belief nor the feeling are rational.
The problems appears when believing people think they have the right to impose their beliefs on others, or more importantly, impose their rules on others. Faced with a long history of violent acts committed by religious in the name of their god (you define which god and which people) to continue choosing bombs and bullets to determine the winner is a very dangerous thing to allow happen. We are at a time when one person can pull down cities and populations even as our fancy and expensive bombers, war ships, smart bombs, and guided missiles can pinpoint a doorway or a car. What use is all this knowhow, if one person can be the carrier of diseases?
The KKK and other organizations use religion as a cohesive glue for their little bands of nonsense. It is time to call them on their fairy tales and wicked devil. The devil is in the human spirit.
Personally I could perhaps convince myself to partake of some silly myth with scant (or zero) evidence, if said myth had a soothing and supportive impact on me, but without deleterious or malign consequences, and without internal contradictions. Religion, as an innocent self-delusion for comfort and guidance, isn't necessarily such a bad thing, if it's strictly a sort of personal anti-depressive. I grudgingly respect it. The problem comes when the touchy-feeling turns into menacing and violent, into a sort of intellectual extortion. All religions of which I'm aware degenerate into vindictive and hateful perversions, once theory becomes practice. Perhaps, then, no idea that lacks essential truth can have a redeeming value, since any such idea is liable to degeneration into becoming an abusive tool. An innocent falsehood is never innocent for long.
Nevertheless, there is something tremendously appealing about religion. Why is the overwhelming majority of humanity, at present and throughout history, at least nominally religious? Why is it that even today, non-religious people have to carefully excuse themselves and justify their viewpoint, whereas for a religious person, it is sufficient to just exclaim "I believe!", and that's it? The answer, I think, follows along the lines of our discussion here... partaking of religion offers some sort of evolutionary survival value.
I wish I could remember where I read it, but I recall an idea which looked at religion as a societal tool (social anthropological tool?). The idea is that in any group or community, certain rules must be adhered to in order for the group to function properly. Inevitably, most or all of the members will eventually break some of the rules and therefore need reprimand and punishment. If the task of being the enforcer is left to a member or members of the group, eventually the enforcer will have had to punish everyone, and therefore be a target for ouster from the group. Replacing the enforcer with another member just continues the problem until everyone has been kicked out. Enter the idea of god. He can be the "bad guy" and the enforcers become just the messenger. Thus, the invention of god was needed to help prevent early groups from destroying themselves by attrition. Thoughts?
Right: Because you can't argue with a god. And if the guy who understands all the signs and talks to the gods tells you you're doing wrong and how you need to be punished, who are you to argue? It's like my parents always said: "Don't argue with me! I didn't say ____ - God did. You'll have to take it up with Him."
That makes sense to me. Then those who are in power create the rules which have the largest benefit for survival for the community-one would hope. Sure, then the first rule of belonging eventually evolves into "you cant believe in any other God but me..."
Good point. Perhaps you've seen the same behavior in corporate management? The manager is in the act of pushing some dog's-body-work (which I take to be British for soul sucking, miserable) on you and he says, "What can I do... Management is saying I've got to have 2 people on it tomorrow or I'm fired."
Blame someone not in the room for your decisions, especially those decisions that ask another to do something you would not.
Another form is when you take a request to said manager and he replies, "I'd love to give that to you, but I've got to talk with the V.P." Defer decision, make the decision out of sight of the requester, return with an answer from the mountain that can not be questioned.
pretty neat trick of manipulation. Would have loved to witness the first time someone tried this, thus inventing the first "proto-god"?
I think that your premise is reasonable, but probably some others are as well. I think man invented religion as you stated above, but also for a way to explain things going on around them in the natural world. Premise: 25,000 yrs ago a man observes a lightening storm that causes a fire on the plains. Now this man is just as intellegent as we are, maybe even a genius by todays standards. How does he explain this. Still just getting his feet on the path to civilization, as it were. He notices that the lightening causes the fire, but not every time. And if he was, say hunting deer when it happened, but never when he hunted boar, he could make an inference out of that. A wrong one, but he was thinking, applying as much logic as he could. So we hunt deer when the sky seems clear, boar whenever. Now the deeper meaning, who or what caused the fire from lightening? Since he lived in a naturalistic surrounding, must be something natural. After much thought, a higher power? It becomes codified by his fellow tribesmen, and possibly other tribes in the region. My man is a great orator, by the way. This explains many things, and a sense of security for them all. It informs their everyday lives. I'm just trying to think like that man of 25,000 yrs ago, and I might be totally wrong, but basic human emotions are still the same, I think. In my mind this makes religion a failed science, since many different peoples had many different ideas, none of which were demonstratable or could be repeated from one place to another. Like a science experiment can be repeated in Norway, Canada, Chad, Togo, anywhere and come up the same everytime. I think all humans have this cognitive ability to make a leap out of minimal facts, and be right quite often. But also wrong. I know science and reason gives me a better sense of security than religion. But it is hard to give up that feeling of being with others of like mind, that "warm blanket" feeling. Just my thoughts, my friend. Peace.
Sure, your idea makes sense as I think is closely related. I was thinking of the modern day tribe that's been cut-off from civilization as an example. Perhaps someone who knows much more than I do about this subject can help.
Yes, I agree with the descriptions of how religion may have evolved throughout history, creating bonds and protocols for primitive peoples. Clans became tribes became nations, each with their own story of creation and meaning. Over time, verbal stories turned into scriptures and dogma, then along came councils to decide the canon. Just picture it, Bronze age oral history transforming into written and then into political and economic history. They are all bound up in each other.
Some smart aleck came along and said man (human) was not the top of the pyramid, the sun did not go around the earth, evolving into recognizing gravity and all the other little tidbits began to pile up and before you know it, there were more galaxies, perhaps more planets with life, and humans moved from stone weapons to arrows (not because they ran out of stones but because they found a better way to bring down animals and fowl.) Then along came steel weapons, dynamite made it onto the battle zone (some thinking that would be the end of war because it was so deadly), and bullets, bombs, atomic energy.
We are still stuck with that old book based on Bronze Age thinking, the one with the biggest bomb is the WINNER. Might makes right. We are so right we now have the capacity to destroy life on earth as we know it. People can use their god/s and beliefs of dominion to overwhelm all others and poison our waters, soils, and air.
We are no longer smart primates, we are destroyers of earth's life.

Hi, Ive run out of anime to watch and Im really bored so I decided to start reading a new book tody. San Shaoye De Jian or the Little Sword of the Third Master. This is thanks to Tai Han who recommended me the Vietnamese site about a million months ago and gave me the Chinese name. I havent finished this book, Ive decided to translate as I go because its more fun this way plus I hate re reading Vietnamese books. Therefore Ive finished chapter one and decided to put it up.
Ummm because Im Vietnamese the names will be in Vietnamese unless I can think of English translations or actually know the mandarin pinying- which will be very rare. Oh yeah, I am really lazy and have absolutely no dedication whatsoever, therefore this project could be abandoned at any time. Ill try really hard so hope that doesnt happen. Cant actually remember how many chapters I downloaded so well see. If theres a part that doesnt make sense to you, it probably didnt make sense to me either- Vietnamese is so much harder than it looks and Im relatively new at this
Chapter One: One Sword Pierces Heart
Kie^/m khi/ tung hoanh\ tam va.n ly/
Nha^/t kie^/m quang han/ tha^.p cu`u? cha^u
Sword aura roams for 30 000 li
Light of a sword sends shivers throughout 19 provinces <This line is thanks to Noodles- Thank you!>
Late autumn. The setting sun casts shadows from the dried up leaves of a lone tree.
Under the tree there stood a figure, a figure so still and so cold that he seemed to be one with the earth.
A tiredness that seeped through every bone of his body and an unimaginable killing aura. He was tired probably because he had no other choice. His hand held a sword. A sword with a sheath that was made from black crocodile skin. The mouth of the sheath was made of gold and on it was set large 13 pearls. The people of the jiang hu world did not know little of this figure. Since 17, he and his sword had made a name for themselves. Now he was older and he had put down his sword. However, other people did not allow him to put down his sword. When he puts down his sword, his life will come to an end. Fame at times is like a piece of luggage, a piece of luggage that can never be put down.
Afternoon. Autumn leaves flutter in the wind.
A person was walking up towards the tree. His clothes were exquisite, his face pale and his sword in hand as he stared ahead. His steps were steady and he walked very fast, stopping only about seven steps away from the figure under the tree.
Yen Thap Tam? He suddenly asked.
Is your Doat Menh Thap Tam Kiem [Taking Lives 13 Swordplay] really unbeatable?
Not necessarily.
The person laughed coldly.
I am Cao Thong, One Sword Pierces Heart Cao Thong
I know.
Did you ask me to come out here?
I know you have been waiting for this.
Precisely. I was looking for you so that I could kill you.
Yen Thap Tam said coldly
Youre not the only one who wants to kill me.
Its because you are too famous. If I kill you I can become renowned instantly. He laughed. Its not easy to be famous in the jiang hu world. To be famous quickly, this is the easiest method.
Very good. Yen Thap Tam answered.
Now I am here, I have brought a sword that will wash your throat.
Very good.
Where is your heart?
My heart is dead.
Then I will let it die one more time.
A flash of light as the sword is drawn from its sheath. It moves towards Yen Thap Tams heart as fast as lightning.
One sword pierces heart.
Using this sword, he has pierced an uncountable number of hearts. This is his ultimate killing technique.
However, he could not pierce Yen Thap Tams heart.
As he thrust his sword forward, he felt a flash of coldness by his throat. Yen Thap Tams sword was 1.3 inches deep inside his throat.
Cao Thongs sword fell from his hands, his body not yet dead.
I hope you know that to become famous is not an easy thing.
Cao Thong stared at him, his body dead.
Therefore its better that you should die.
He drew back his sword, slowly very slowly so that the blood did not touch him. He knew that it was very hard to clean blood stained clothes. It was even harder to clean the streak of blood upon his hands.
The night grew darker.
The blood on the sword had been washed clean. The sword had been returned to the sheath. In the night four people appeared. Four people, four swords. All four were dressed exquisitely and they all had arrogant faces. The oldest had white hair whilst the youngest was a mere adolescent. Yen Thap Tam recognized these people. He knew who they were.
The oldest had been famous for 40 years. He lived in the country and he became famous with his clans Phi Ung Thap Tam Thich [Flying Eagle 13 ?]. This time he had entered the city to look for Yen Thap Tam. He did not believe that his Phi Ung Thap Tam Thich could be less than Yen Thap Tams Doat Menh Thap Tam Kiem.
The youngest was a person whom had recently risen to fame in the jiang hu world. He was also the best student of the Diem Suong Sect. He was a genius and he was also hardworking. His heart was also very evil. He had roamed the jiang hu world for a just a year before he earned the nickname of Heartless Youngster Tao Bang.
The other two people were also highly skilled pugilists. Thanh Phong Kiems swordplay was light and like the wind. Iron Sword Tran Tam Sons swordplay was steady and his sword weighed 30 pounds. Yen Thap Tam knew them for he had asked them to come here. All eyes were on Yen Thap Tam, no one even glanced at the corpse near him. No one wanted to have their confidence effected by the person who lay dead on the ground. No matter who it was on the ground it didnt matter to them. As long as they were alive, whoever was dead or alive was no concern of theirs.
Yen Thap Tams smile was very tired.
So you all came.
Quan Ngoai Phi Ung said coldly
I thought you only invited me.
Yen Thap Tam said lightly
If I can solve this all at once then why not.
Tao Bang interrupted
Four people have arrived, so who goes first?
He was very impatient, impatient to become famous, impatient to kill Yen Thap Tam.
Iron Sword Tran Tam Son:
We can use rock, scissors, paper to settle the matter and see who goes first.
Yen Thap Tam:
No need.
Iron Sword Tran Tam Son:
Yes there is.
Yen Thap Tam:
You can all come at once.
What kind of people do you think we are to use so many against only one? hollered Quan Ngoai Phi Ung.
Yen Thap Tam:
But I agree to it.
He drew his sword and swung it like lightning across the four faces of his opponents. Now they had no choice but to attack him all at once. Four swords were drawn from their sheaths. Tao Bang attacked the fastest and with the most killing intent. Quan Ngoai Thien Ung had leapt into the air and was striking from above. Phi Ung Thap Tam Thich was a type of martial arts that used up to overcome down and hard to overcome soft but it was unfortunate that his opponent was far faster.
In a flash, Tao Bang had initiated 9 sword strikes. He did not pay attention to anyone else except for Yen Thap Tam. He wanted his sword to be the one that killed Yen Thap Tam but all his strikes hit empty space. Yen Thap Tam who was before him had disappeared. He stood still and suddenly realized something very scary. On the ground there were three other corpses. On all their necks there was another hole. Quan Ngoai Thien Ung, Thanh Phong Kiem, Iron Sword Tran Tam Son- three number one swordsmen in jiang hu had all died under Yen Thap Tams sword in a blink of an eye. Tao Bangs hands became cold. He saw that Yen Thap Tam was standing under the lone tree again. The killing sword had returned to its sheath.
Tao Bang held his two hands tightly.
Yen Thap Tam interrupted.
I dont want to kill you yet.
Tao Bang:
Yen Thap Tam:
Because I want to give you a chance to kill me.
The green veins on Tao Bangs hands rose and sweat formed on his forehead. This was an insult. But he could not forgo this chance.
Yen Thap Tam:
Go home and continue to practice. After three years come and find me again.
Tao Bang held in his anger.
Yen Thap Tam:
Diem Suong Swordplay is actually very powerful. If you practice hard you will have a chance.
Tao Bang suddenly asked:
What if someone else kills you in those three years?
Yen Thap Tam laughed.
Then you can go and kill the person who killed me.
Well then you should take care. Itd be best if you dont die. Tao Bang said.
Yen Thap Tam:
I also hope that that would be the case.
The night got even darker. Darkness had swallowed the earth.
Yen Thap Tam slowly turned around and faced the darkest part of the night.
Are you well?
After a long while, a voice came from the darkness.
I am well.
It was a cold voice, a dry voice. A person stepped from the shadows slowly: black clothes, black hair, black sword and on his black face there seemed to be the colour of death. However, his eyes shone very brightly. He walked very slowly and his two feet seemed to not even touch the ground like a ghost in the shadows of the night.
Yen Thap Tams body seemed to shrink a bit and he asked suddenly.
Black Raven?
Yen Thap Tam sighed.
So at last I still get to meet you.
Black Raven
Seeing me is not a good thing.
That is probably the case. Black ravens are not heroic birds, no one likes to see these birds. From long ago there has been stories about black ravens flying past and bringing disaster. So what type of calamity has it brought this time? It could be that it is Black Raven himself that is the calamity, an unavoidable calamity. If one knows that it is unavoidable then there is no point worrying about it.
Yen Thap Tam was calm once again. Black Raven was looking at him, looking at his sword.
Thats a good sword. He said.
Yen Thap Tam:
Do you like swords?
Black Raven:
I only like swords. You not only have good swordplay but also a good sword.
Yen Thap Tam:
You want my sword?
Black Raven:
The answer was short and straightforward. Yen Thap Tam laughed. This time his laughter was free from any tiredness it only had a killing aura. He knew that this time he had finally met a formidable opponent.
Black Raven:
Other birds bring joy but black ravens only bring disaster and worry.
Yen Thap Tam:
You brought disaster here?
Black Raven:
Yen Thap Tam:
I am in danger?
Black Raven:
Yen Thap Tam:
Are you the danger that I must face?
Black Raven:
Yen Thap Tam:
If not you then what?
Black Raven:
Your sword.
The woodsman was innocent but to carry jade within himself is a crime. Yen Thap Tam knew this principle very well. Fame and a good sword were like the sweet smell of muskrat and the antlers of deer.
Black Raven:
I have collected 17 good swords.
Yen Thap Tam:
Black Raven:
17 famous swords.
Yen Thap Tam:
Seems like youve killed quite a few famous people.
Black Raven:
I will take the swords of Cao Thong and Phi Ung.
Yen Thap Tam:
If you bury them, then the swords are yours.
Black Raven:
I dont need corpses I only need swords.
Yen Thap Tam:
But you need the swords of corpses.
Black Raven:
Thats right.
Yen Thap Tam:
If you kill me then my sword is yours.
Black Raven:
Yen Thap Tam:
Thats good.
Black Raven:
No its not.
Yen Thap Tam:
Why not?

Life Technologies Attune NxT Acoustic Focusing Cytometer expands capabilities, features modular design to fit any lab's budget and research
CARLSBAD, Calif. – May 19, 2014 – Life science researchers who want to broaden their cell analysis capabilities can now employ a next-generation flow cytometer with a modular design that allows them greater flexibility in applications ranging from biomarker discovery to cancer research.
The new Life Technologies Attune NxT Acoustic Focusing Cytometer is being launched today at the Congress of the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry (CYTO) in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Previously, researchers using conventional instruments had to sacrifice precision and speed, limiting the scope of many research applications. The Attune NxT circumvents these hurdles by using a proprietary acoustic focusing technology to increase detection sensitivity and throughput. It can also be easily configured to run with one to four lasers, enabling it to detect up to 14 colors in a sample and to scale with the changing research needs and budgetary demands of any lab.
"The high sample rates of the Attune allows me to reduce centrifugation steps so that we retain more cells and more rapidly detect rare events," said Professor David Cousins, department of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation, University of Leicester. "We could not have performed these studies with any other instrument."
The Attune NxT Acoustic Focusing Cytometer builds on the success of the first generation Attune instrument introduced in 2010. Like its predecessor, the Attune NxT uses sound waves, as opposed to hydrodynamics, to focus cells past the laser detection system for analysis. Acoustic focusing enables higher control of the cells as they pass through the interrogation point, resulting in more intense (faster and more precise) sample interrogation capabilities.
"With the launch of the Attune NxT our goal is to make these advanced technologies accessible to all customers, independent of funding or experience levels, so they can be applied in new ways to help accelerate research and discovery," said Brett Williams, vice president and general manager, Cell Analysis, at Thermo Fisher Scientific.
Attune NxT Acoustic Focusing Cytometer is for research use only, not intended for diagnostic purposes.
About Thermo Fisher ScientificThermo Fisher Scientific Inc. is the world leader in serving science, with revenues of $17 billion and 50,000 employees in 50 countries.

8-2-10 PNC Park
With chief competitor Nick Pelescak out of action for the next two weeks, and my favorite BP team, the Cincinnati Reds in town, I was hoping I would have a big day.
I would – setting a personal 2010 high for balls snagged.
The day would get off to a great start. When I ran in, I spotted a ball in the front row.
Before I could grab it, Andy LaRoche hit a home run into the front row. I tried to make the basket catch leaning forward over two rows, but just missed it. My glove killed the balls' momentum and I just needed to pick it up in the front row for ball #1. Seconds later, I grabbed that easter egg for ball #2 in this area:
Sweet spots: (1 was given away)
Game: 13 balls (9 hit, 2 thrown, 1 device, 1 found)
Season: 364 balls (187 hit, 80 thrown, 43 device, 45 found)
Games: 56 games
Average: 6.50 balls per game
2010 Game Balls: 5
Career: 942 balls
Streak: 152 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.
Attendance: 15,172

Good to see the offense produce as it did in sweeping Washington. No secret but scoring runs is this team's strength. Any pitching staff benefits from run support.
July has come and gone. We wound up 15-10 for the month, the exact same record for July a year ago.
But, 15-10 was a result of winning the first four and the last five. In between, we were 6-10, which sort of resembled a sagging hammock.
Two more months to go and we can't be resting in a hammock. That's for November, but only if you live in a warm climate. Then again, a hammock may be an easy way to catch falling leaves in this area.
Club-by-club opponents this month:
Cardinals, 3
Marlins, 3
Pirates, 3,
Dodgers, 8
Padres, 3
Nationals 3,
Mets, 2
Cubs, 3
Yes, eight against the Dodgers and Manny Ramirez. Not good news to have to face him that often. But, the good news…..he's with the Dodgers and not the Marlins.
Come See Sammy
A week from tonight Juan Samuel becomes the 30th Alumni member to be inducted into the Phillies Wall of Fame.
Nine Living members of the Wall will be part of the 7:00 p.m. ceremonies: Robin Roberts (1978), Jim Bunning (1984), Steve Carlton (1989), Mike Schmidt (1990), Dick Allen (1994), Greg Luzinski (1998), Tony Taylor (2002), Bob Boone (2005) and Dallas Green (2006).
Sammy was an exciting player who combined speed and power. As a person, he had an infectious smile and was loved by his teammates.
Samuel Testimonies
"Sammy was 'the' most exciting player on the Phillies in the early 80's…..power, average, great arm, and speed to burn. He hit in front of me and created RBI situations every game. He was my young son's favorite player all through the 80's. Its great to see Sammy being honored as a member of the Wall of Fame," Mike Schmidt.
"Juan Samuel was one of my favorite teammates because he was always ready to play and hustled as much as anybody. When asked who her favorite Phillie was besides me, my mom would always say 'Sammy'. Congratulations to a wonderful baseball talent and more importantly, truly a good person," Von Hayes.
1 Comment
Hi there :o) Had a question for you…just wondering why Jim Bunning, the other player with a retired number, does not have a statue at the stadium like Roberts, Carlton, Ashburn & Schmidt and if there were plans to do so? (I know Klein & Alexander are also retired, but had no numbers) Just curious…I think (as I am sure most will agree) that he is well deserving of the honor :o) Hey, want me to start a campaign? Hee! A little politician humor there… Thanks!

Arsenal 'not entitled to half of Fabregas fee'
Reports that Arsenal are entitled to 50% of the transfer fee if Cesc Fabregas moves from Barcelona to Manchester United are wide of the mark, a source has told ESPN.
On Monday, United tabled a €30 million bid for the former Gunners midfielder, and are awaiting a response from the Spanish champions.
ESPN understands their initial approach about a possible deal for the 26-year-old Spain midfielder, made last month, encouraged them that agreement could be reached.
With an official bid now in place, Barcelona are obliged to inform Arsenal and offer them the chance to re-sign their former captain.
The Gunners are entitled to buy Fabregas at a set fee, believed to be around the same as the figure United have offered.
Should they decline to do so, they would receive 50% of any profit Barcelona make on his transfer. A deal anywhere near the €30 million mark is unlikely to yield any dividends.
With Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger giving no indication that he is eager to bring Fabregas back to North London, United believe they can succeed in their bid to sign him.
Early last month, Old Trafford ambassador Denis Irwin suggested United "would move heaven and earth" to sign Fabregas - but many hurdles remain to be overcome in order for a deal to go through.
It is unclear whether Fabregas would be open to a move to Manchester two years after completing his return to Barcelona, the club where he started his career.
However, the presence of former Arsenal team-mate Robin van Persie at Old Trafford may encourage him to move to Manchester, while the possibility of not playing week in, week out at the Camp Nou in a World Cup season may be another factor.

Now I don't know how much of what's going to be in v0.24 was in the version of GIMX that I compiled but I did not hate using it, especially some of the new features in the configurator. Here's 2 hours and 30 minutes from my stream on Twitch.tv of me playing multiplayer (feel free to follow, I'll stream as often as I can when using GIMX):
Part 1
Part 2
I also streamed the final part of the campaign, using GIMX of course :)
(They still haven't patched the input lag so you'll see a lot of screen tearing because the game is running without vsync in 576p)
I took the liberty of adding a twitchtv/justintv tag in case anyone does videos there and would like to share on the forum. Hope that's OK, Matlo :)

text: ITI SERPICO IVI 0 Posted April 13, 2012 http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/122/1222773p1.html Three Reasons to Love Future Soldier's Multiplayer Changing the pace of online stop-and-pop. US, April 12, 2012 by Mitch Dyer With the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier beta starting on April 19, it's as good a time as any to learn what Ubisoft's long-time-coming shooter brings to the table. IGN spent a few hours digging into Future Soldier's adversarial multiplayer. The impressive suite of features and atypical approach to third-person pew-pew gives it an edge over many me-too action games. Its maps are designed to make players work for their kills, which makes them feel like they've truly earned each one. Great though many of its competitors may be, few shooters think about combat as intelligently as Ghost Recon. Stealth, Tactics, and Communication Matter Future Soldier distinguishes itself with its pace. Soldiers here are efficient and fast. They bring a speed to stealth that contributes to the competitive online modes in a major way. Scouts with invisibility camouflage can slip behind enemy lines, cut through their ranks, and get out without ever having been spotted. Hiding (not just behind cover but in trees, around corners, and out of the way) is the most efficient way of eliminating the opposition. Storming at the other team using light machine-guns certainly gets the job done, but a tactical team will undoubtedly come out on top. Hasty players leave themselves open to slower players precise methods. Those brash, thoughtless types will find themselves not only dead, but contributing to their team's failure. Running-and-gunning means you're not considering potential threats like stun mines, which the opposition uses for more than just incapacitating guys. If you stun someone, you can "data hack" their kit before killing them. This exposes the exact location of everybody on the other team. Oops. In theory, players could go rogue, abandon their team, and clean up all the kills as a lone wolf. This is a terrible plan. Bullets kill people, and in Ghost Recon they kill people quite quickly. If a team doesn't know where someone is, they can't revive a downed ally, protect their flank, or support them in combat. Playing as anything but a talkative, coordinated team is a risky proposition that will, in all likelihood, result in a loss. Objective-Based Adversarial Multiplayer Every mode in Future Soldier, even the standard deathmatch, hinges on some sort of objective. This is multiplayer with a purpose. Players dedicate as much time to completing tasks as they do drilling holes in others' faces. Conflict, the standard red vs. blue competitive mode, tasks players with capturing a series of control points. Having an Engineer cover your back with a deployable turret, or dropping a camera that sees through cover, goes a long way to making sure you secure a spot. Decoy plays similar, although it's a little more goal-oriented. The attacking team needs to figure out which of three potential command posts is the one they're looking for. When they've exhausted or avoided the decoys, they make the final push to another control point. Kills don't mean anything to the attacking team's score. If you don't capture, you don't win, even if your K/D ration is killing it on the leaderboard. Saboteur places a neutral bomb in the middle of a lengthy map. Teams play a violent version of tug-of-war as they kill for control. The first team to lug the heavy briefcase to the enemy HQ and detonate it takes the win. Bomb-carriers slow down and, short of briefcase-based stealth kills, can only use their secondary weapon to defend themselves. Again, teams have to watch out for each other. The guys and girls who stay together keep control. You flat-out won't win on your own here, and coordinating ambushes can give your team a huge time advantage. Siege Mode Few games outside Counter-Strike and SOCOM have the stones to keep dead players down, never mind making them appreciate their limited life. Siege, a callback to a classic Ghost Recon multiplayer mode, gives each player just one chance to take out the other team. When a Rifleman fills your chest with lead, or a Scout cuts your throat, you're done. No respawn. In a game already so heavily reliant on careful play, Siege really makes that one life feel valuable. Taking someone down with you might help, but it never feels like enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thursday, October 22, 2009
I just found the greatest blog, Today's Creative Blog, that features crafty ideas on Tuesdays so I am "bringing forward" this tutorial first published a few months back. I think this would be a great little project for simple quick tiny gifts to have on hand for the upcoming holidays.
So I absolutely love making these "covered button magnets". They are quick to make, super easy, and not too expensive!
Supplies needed:
Button to cover kit—available in most fabric stores or online HERE
I like using size 45 (1 1/8" diameter) and size 60 (1.5" in diameter)
I'm using size 60 in this demonstration.
Small magnets—available in most craft stores or online HERE
Strong glue—I use E6000
Needle nosed pliers
Fabric scraps
Various trims/ribbons
Dryer sheets
Step 1:
Using the pliers, remove the shank from the back of the button.
Step 2:
Place the trims across the mold and position the fabric over the trim so that your design is centered over the mold.
Optional: add a layer of dryer sheet on top of the fabric. This helps to reduce the likelihood of the button "showing through" the fabric.
Step 3:
Center the button "top" on the mold, over the layers of trim and fabric/dryer sheet, and push it down into the mold using your fingers.
Step 4:
Trim away the excess fabric/trim and tuck the ends down into the button top.
Step 5:
Place the button "back" over the tucked in fabric and push down using your fingers, pliers, or the plunger provided with your button kit—you should hear it click in place. Pop out your button and you are nearly finished!
Step 6:
Add a small drop of glue to the center of the back of the button and top with a small strong magnet. Allow to dry overnight. Now find the perfect place for your new magnet!
HINT: I tend to make several of these at a time. It is BEST to arrange them so that there is ample room between each while they are drying. If you are using super strong magnets and arrange them too close, you may experience what happened to me. I accidently shoved one a bit and the next thing I knew I had a bunch of magnets with wet glue all stuck together. It was a huge mess and it wasn't easy getting them apart, plus glue was EVERYWHERE! So please learn from my mistake.
Have fun with these! I do…

Bear market short squeezes can be brutal. They are not, however, life-threatening to the developing bearish trend. Today's bullish U.S. fixed income advance happens just shy of a week from the FOMC meeting where expectations have largely centered on 'maintenance' in both policy programs and language. As the equity market continued to fall today, erasing as much as 1.4%, fixed income traders wondered if the Fed will signal a change (slowing) in the pace of tapering.
For what it is worth, these are 'gift' levels for those who would be willing and able to set into short positions. Back month Eurodollars are higher by as much as 17 bps in the Green ED's as I write and the 10-year Treasury (CBOT:ZNH14) is 7/8ths of a point higher. The 5-30 Treasury yield curve steepened by 4 bps today to 2.09%, so those looking to enter into a bearish flattening should consider selling the 5-year Treasury here to buy the 30-year or Ultra Bond later.
One-day options are available in Treasuries, but would recommend longer term March expiry for those looking to build a position in Treasuries. Blue March (2017) Eurodollar Options have 50 days and shorter dated, February have 22 days.

JJ Stankevitz has an interview with T-Flo:
JS: What have your coaches said about your defense?
TF: Chicago's expressed that they're real pleased. Obviously, there's certain things that me and every catcher in Double-A can improve. There's definitely stuff on my agenda to take note of and try to improve and be more consistent with. They made it very clear that I'm going to be a catcher, and I was definitely pumped to hear that. They weren't just excited about my bat, but they were excited about me behind the plate too. That was important to me. Working on being consistent with my throwing and footwork. I feel like receiving's come a long way, blocking balls has come a long way. Calling a game, our pitching coach has helped me out tremendously, especially explaining the staff to me, explaining what their put-away pitch is, going back to their tendencies how to get them to of it. It's been pretty good.
Tyler's tearing the cover of the ball to the tune of .292/.439/.532. He's hitting .354/.453/.684 in June (.479 BABIP for June though).

Why are data structures so important in interviews?

Read the original article Hit count: 334
I am a newbie into the corporate world recently graduated in computers. I am a java/groovy developer. I am a quick learner and I can learn new frameworks, APIs or even programming languages within considerably short amount of time. Albeit that, I must confess that I was not so strong in data structures when I graduated out of college. Through out the campus placements during my graduation, I've witnessed that most of the biggie tech companies like Amazon, Microsoft etc focused mainly on data structures. It appears as if data structures is the only thing that they expect from a graduate. Adding to this, I see that there is this general perspective that a good programmer is necessarily a one with good knowledge about data structures.
To be honest, I felt bad about that. I write good code. I follow standard design patterns of coding, I do use data structures but at the superficial level as in java exposed APIs like ArrayLists, LinkedLists etc. But the companies usually focused on the intricate aspects of Data Structures like pointer based memory manipulation and time complexities. Probably because of my java-ish background, Back then, I understood code efficiency and logic only when talked in terms of Object Oriented Programming like Objects, instances, etc but I never drilled down into the level of bits and bytes. I did not want people to look down upon me for this knowledge deficit of mine in Data Structures.
So really why all this emphasis on Data Structures? Does, Not having knowledge in Data Structures really effect one's career in programming? Or is the knowledge in this subject really a sufficient basis to differentiate a good and a bad programmer?
