As a university of design, the Bauhaus School revolutionised 20th century art and architecture around the world. Today the original buildings in Weimar and Dessau, along with a range of museums and exhibitions, provide an insight into a movement that still seems innovative today.
In December 1996, almost 70 years to the day since the dedication of the Gropius Building in Dessau, the Bauhaus sites of Dessau and Weimar were designated official UNESCO World Heritage sites. Buildings by Bauhaus teachers such as Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer, László Moholy-Nagy and Wassily Kandinsky established the Bauhaus style, which greatly influenced the architecture of the 20th century.
The work of the Bauhaus started in Weimar in 1919 and was first shown in an exhibition in 1923. Haus am Horn in Weimar, which in 1923 was built as a showcase home to a design by George Muche, exemplifies this unique architectural style. But the main building of the Bauhaus University and the former School of Arts and Crafts on Geschwister-Scholl-Strasse, both designed by the Belgian Henry van de Velde, are pure Bauhaus too. Also worth visiting is the Bauhaus Museum on Theaterplatz, directly opposite the Goethe and Schiller statue.
In Dessau, the College of Design was a magnet for the avant garde of the time. Walter Gropius designed the building, which opened in 1926. It was with the Dessau Bauhaus that the application of Modernist principles to architecture and design first began to take shape, as can be seen from the 'masters' houses' and the Dessau-Törten estate. In the historical Bauhaus Canteen you can enjoy a generous breakfast or lunch sitting on the Marcel Breuer-designed stools. In the Studio House, former student rooms, some remodelled according to their original design, can be rented as single or double guestrooms.

This is war: 3D cones flying in every direction, dramatic music, boats everywhere, missiles, missiles, more 3D cones! If this doesn't persuade our government to hand over money to Lockheed Martin, nothing will.
Lockheed describes the video, too complicated to possibly understand or take seriously, like so:
This simulation depicts Lockheed Martin's offering for the U.S. Navy's competition of the next generation naval radar system, Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR), which will defeat growing anti-ship and ballistic missile threats. Lockheed Martin is currently in the technology demonstration phase of the competition.
But what is this really demonstrating? It looks like a cutscene from a late 90s computer game, and yes, it's very easy to successfully demonstrate a radar technology when you're presenting it via tacky CGI. More missiles! More radar cones! Send the cones everywhere! [Lockheed]

Coumadin is a prescribed anticoagulant that decreases the bloods ability to clot. It is prescribed for medical conditions such as heart rhythm disturbances, after a stroke, heart attack or heart valve replacement.
The St. Tammany Health System Coumadin Clinic enables management of this drug. To avoid side effects, in particular bleeding, an INR test can be preformed by a finger stick to keep your drug level within your physician-prescribed range. The test measures the time it takes your blood to clot.
Coumadin should be taken in the afternoon without food and with a full glass of water. Avoid taking Coumadin with other medications. Take Coumadin two hours prior to, or two hours after taking other medicines. After starting a new medication, have your blood checked a few days later.
Many factors can either increase or decrease you bleeding time and INR test. Diet, alcohol consumption, and other medications can affect test results. Avoid use of over the counter medications. Avoid multivitamins containing vitamin K. It is best to keep your diet consistent and to limit your intake of green leafy vegetables to two cups a day.
The St. Tammany Health System Coumadin Clinic is located in the Heart Center across the street from the hospital and is staffed by a registered nurse. Parking is available in front of the building. The hours are Monday to Friday 8:00 - 4:00pm. Please call (985) 898-3751for information.

Los Angeles is home to many of the best chefs and restaurants in the nation, and not to mention some of the biggest 'foodies'. A city built upon dreams, dreamers, and harsh reality- Los Angeles is needless to say a city that never sleeps. This is undeniably true about Chef Ronnie Woo, graduate from the University of California, Los Angeles, founder of 'The Delicious Cook', and LA's newest and hottest additions to the 'must see' chef list. Chef Ronnie Woo may be 'new to the scene', but he is making his mark both in and out of the kitchen.
This chef will have your taste buds going into overload as he uses the freshest ingredients paired with savory spices. He has even cooked for some of Hollywoods' elite such as: Jessica Alba, Kathy Griffin, Dita Von Teese, Nancy O'Dell, Gilles Marini, Holly Robinson Peete, Vivica A. Fox, Leah Remini, and Laila Ali. Chef Ronnie Woo, a Seattle native, sits down and discusses his life before deciding to become a chef, The Delicious Cook, his inspirations, and his vision for the future.
The following has been edited for continuity purposes.
Meagan Sargent: When did you realize you wanted to become a chef?
Ronnie Woo: It took me two masters' degrees to realize that I wasn't happy or feeling fulfilled in my professional pursuits. I grew up in a family where everything revolved around good food, whether it was travel or the weekly meals my mom would make and I always knew cooking was the one thing that I whole-heartedly loved doing. One day, a few years back, I decided that I was going to take a chance, pursue my true passion, and become a chef! And so it began…
MS: Congrats on your achievements thus far! I know you are sort of 'new in the game' as it's been a little over two years and you are already making a huge name for yourself! If you were to look back five years, would you ever imagined you'd be where you are now?
RW: Thank you!! I would have never thought that I would be where I was today. However, I think when you do what you love, it shows in the quality of your work and people recognize that. I guess all the hard work is paying off!
MS: I remember you saying you were a model before becoming a chef. What was the turning point?
RW: Modeling was something that I wanted to do from an early age and once I got to experience the life of a model for a few years, I think it lost it's mystique and glamour. Besides, I knew modeling was not something I wanted to (nor could) do my whole life. I wouldn't say that there was any specific turning point, but I will say that after I became a chef, it was definitely nice to be able to pursue my passion, hone my true talent, and eat when I wanted to!!
MS: Words of advice to anyone wanting to get into the culinary field?
RW: Don't be intimidated! Just hone your craft, do your thing and people will see and appreciate your talent.
MS: What distinguishes you from the other chefs/cooks out there? And why do you think 'Hollywood' has taken such a quick 'liking' to you and your brand?
RW: I think the biggest thing about me is that I'm not trying to be like anybody else. I am definitely inspired by other talented chefs, but at the same time, I want to be successful doing what I do, not trying to imitate another culinary artist. I think "Hollywood" recognizes that I'm pretty chill and that I offer something new and refreshing. And I'm pretty fun to be around!
MS: Being in LA I feel like this is a competitive market to submerge yourself into, we are surrounded by gourmet meals and fresh foods-what makes your creations different.
RW: I think that if we are using fresh, seasonal, and wholesome ingredients, the food will speak for itself. My dishes have no restrictions, but I do believe that the ingredients I use organically translate into healthier and delicious creations. In addition, I specialize in intimate four-star dinner parties, so I am bringing a unique dining experience into someone's home.
MS: What is your inspiration (for both life as well as cooking/chef inspiration).
RW: My fiancé and my family are my inspiration. I am who I am because of them!
MS: What is your 'go to' food
RW: I love chicken and kale.
MS: What is your guilty pleasure?
RW: A big bowl of pasta.
MS: Everyone has been raving about the importance of using local produce, would you agree? Why?
RW: Yes, I would absolutely agree! There are numerous reasons why we should try our best to use local produce. The produce does not have to travel very far so we reduce the carbon footprint and because they don't travel far, they are much fresher.
MS: Next project for you? Would you ever consider doing a cookbook?
RW: A cookbook is definitely in the works! It will be unlike any cookbook you have ever seen! So keep your eyes peeled!
MS: One thing you can't leave your house without
RW: Gum
MS: Favorite thing to cook
RW: Steak!
MS: Fun fact that no one would know about you
RW: I have the sweetest, most amazing rescue dog and her name is Frida.

One of the greatest responsibilities a facility or property manager has is to ensure that the premises are properly maintained.
From restrooms and floors, to exteriors and sidewalks, making the right first impression on clients and visitors is crucial to the success of the businesses that use the facilities.
Smaller daily cleaning tasks can and should be left up to janitorial staff, but bigger and more complicated tasks can increasingly be taken care of by outside specialty cleaning companies.
Subcontracting work to a specialty cleaning company can offer an advantage for property and facility managers, both in terms of cost and service.
The Rise Of Specialty Services
In recent years we have seen a marked increase in interest and demand for specialty cleaning services coming from property, facility and custodial managers.
In fact, more work was performed for facility managers last year than in any other year we've been in business.
This appears to represent a welcome philosophical shift.
Facility managers are more aware than ever of the increased cost of insurance and workers' compensation.
Subcontracting to a professional cleaning company that specializes in these tasks lowers the chances of having an issue or injury due of lack of experience on the part of the janitorial staff.
Using a company offers better coverage should such an incident occur.
There has also been more recognition that managers overseeing facilities or properties in multiple states can outsource specialty cleaning services to a company with a presence across multiple states.
This ensures a uniformity of service that they would not be able to achieve otherwise.
Specialty Subcontractors
Most commonly, facility managers subcontract specialty cleaning services like interior and exterior window cleaning, pressure washing, concrete or hard surface cleaning for the exterior of a building, building washing and, depending on the type of building, gutter cleaning.
For these kinds of services, which go above and beyond the typical range of cleaning tasks assigned to regular janitorial staff, managers can reap the benefit of using their time in the best and most efficient way possible.
Subcontracting to a specialty cleaning service means the facility manager is working with people for whom these services are their area of expertise, and who are experienced in performing these tasks safely and thus can accomplish them efficiently.
A service such as exterior window washing may seem straightforward enough, but it is not simply a matter of climbing up a ladder.
There are risks incurred and skills involved in performing what may, on the surface, seem like a simple cleaning task.
Specialty cleaning service providers are familiar with the risks and the proper procedures for performing these tasks, and because of that, are also better insured and prepared in the unlikely event of an accident, fall or injury.
That is an advantage, but it also means facility managers need to make sure they're hiring reputable specialty cleaners.
Reliable companies will have sufficient insurance with workers' compensation and liability policies.
High Standards & Innovation
Trustworthy specialty cleaning companies will also be able to provide high quality workers for each project.
Companies should perform thorough background checks on their employees before they are hired, with specific emphasis on theft and sexual assault, so they can ensure that the most reliable and honest employees are being sent to complete every job.
By hiring a company that upholds high hiring standards, facility managers are not only ensuring the good character of the people performing the work, but can also rest assured that an experienced professional is completing the task thoroughly and correctly the first time.
Hiring a reliable and professional specialty cleaning crew is especially crucial because that brand will then be tied to the company for whom they are providing cleaning services.
For the consumer or client, there is a direct correlation between the strength, reliability and responsibility of the company represented by the facility manager and the strength, reliability and responsibility of the company hired.
Managers should look for professional, branded and informed cleaning companies that will represent their facility and business in a positive way while they're doing work on the premises.
Finally, hiring an outside specialty cleaning company gives facility managers access to new technology and cleaning products they may not know about.
There is constant innovation in the cleaning industry with a large and steady stream of new chemicals, products and technologies to clean deeper and more efficiently.
It is not a facility manager's job to know about all of these innovations; it is the responsibility of the cleaning company.
The best way to take advantage of the newest technology and products is to outsource this specialty work to a professional company.
When it comes to the upkeep and appearance of buildings, what may seem initially like an extra expense can turn out to be a money saver in the long term for facility managers.
Hiring an outside specialty cleaning company to help maintain a property provides cleaning and other specialty services to be completed safely, efficiently and to the highest standards.
It is an investment that can pay dividends to a business year round.
Establishing a relationship with such a service is a small investment in comparison to the value added to a building and business.

Savage: "phony scum of the ACLU... should be put into Abu Ghraib prison"
On May 19, nationally syndicated right-wing radio host Michael Savage called the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) "the most dangerous organization in the history of America" and advocated that "these big-mouthed, phony scum of the ACLU ... should be put into Abu Ghraib prison." After several offices of the ACLU "refused to come on the show," as Savage put it, he issued the following attacks on the civil liberties organization during his May 19 broadcast:
Look the ACLU is Christophobic, they hate Christians. It's the Anti Christian Libertarians Union -- Libertines Union, that's how I name them. The ACLU is the Anti Christian Libertine Union; they had no problem in saying for example, that the crèche scene in your community was offensive. They didn't say that that was a right to expression of speech. But they said that a Muslim call to prayer over loudspeakers five times a day should be protected. The ACLU is the most dangerous organization in the history of America. They should be closed down under RICO [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations] Statutes.
Now we invited the ACLU of Michigan on The Savage Nation, they refused to come on the show. We invited the New York office, and the Washington, D.C. office ... on The Savage Nation, these big-mouthed, phony scum of the ACLU, who should be rounded up, arrested for sedition. Their property seized, and they should be put into Abu Ghraib prison as far as I'm concerned. That wouldn't be enough of what I'd like to see done to the ACLU. They're the worst vermin America has ever tolerated. The worst vermin in the history of America are the vermin in the ACLU. They've broken the crosses off war memorials. They attack everything to do with Christianity. But the Muslim prayers are just fine. I wrote about it in The Enemy Within. All Religions are attacked except one.
As Media Matters for America reported on May 18, Savage said, during his May 14 broadcast, "There is no greater friend of Al Qaeda than the ACLU."

"First of all, choosing a band here was the most fun experience of the whole wedding planning process. The band, Luxe, was recommended to us by friends who have been to a wedding where they performed. Our friends said "They were amazing! The dance floor was full all night and people would not stop talking about the band for weeks or months." So, Luxe was the first band we viewed during the process of choosing our wedding band and we chose them! This recommendation did not dissapoint…We had so much fun with them at our wedding! The dance floor was full, our guests loved them and so did we! The band members were also very sweet and they coordinated so well with all other vendors to make our wedding exactly what we had envisioned and MORE!"

We wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful job you and your band did at our wedding. There are not sufficient superlatives in the English language to describe adequately how happy we were with your performance. We had high hopes that the dancing would be amazing but you blew those expectations away. Neither of us would've guessed that you would've been able to get our entire wedding to twerk at once but somehow you did. We pity our friends who are getting married after us because there is no way their bands could ever come close to what you guys did.
Thank you from the bottom of our now married hearts. We hope to dance with you again!

I hope that we can have you play again at another event in the future. You will certainly be our first thought for a band.
Thank you,

Nocturne Band Wedding ReviewWednesday, June 28th, 2017
Thanks so much for all your help booking the band for True and Perry's wedding! They chose Nocturne, after listening to a lot of different videos featured on your website, and the band turned out to be a great choice!
They had our guests out dancing from the very first song, and the dance floor was still full for the last dance. The band called me a few days after I sent him the proposed evening schedule for the reception at The Jefferson and suggested a few changes, explaining that his proposed timing would allow the band to better build up energy and keep people dancing right up to the end. Once he explained his reasoning, we made his suggested changes for the time of the cake cutting/garter and bouquet toss so that the band could play longer segments. Clearly his strategy worked, since the dance floor was packed all night and we all had a great time. EVERYONE was out there, from grandmothers to three-year-olds, and all the ages in between. Don't know how we could have gotten a better band!
We would be glad to recommend Nocturne to anyone. What a fun night we had! Many thanks to you and to the band!

Nocturne Band Wedding ReviewWednesday, June 28th, 2017
Nocturne was AMAZING!!!! They were an absolute pleasure to work with, very friendly and helpful leading up to the wedding and the day itself. They rocked it! Everyone was up dancing the entire night and our guests are still talking about how they are rocking to memories of the band. Everyone kept asking me where I found them and how great they were. One guest even told me that for the first half of the night, they thought it was a DJ, because of how clear and amazing they sounded.

Nocturne Band Wedding ReviewWednesday, June 28th, 2017
We choose to go with Nocturne for our June wedding. To say they were phenomenal would be an understatement. They completely blew every one of our guests away…each song they sung was better than the next. We couldn't have been happier. We have gotten endless compliments about them and at least a dozen people wanting their information. They aren't your average wedding band (in a good way). At the end of the night, we were unfortunately pulled away to deal with an out of hand guest which caused us to miss the end of our wedding. They were SO gracious to play another song so that we could end our wedding on a positive note. I am so thankful for that! Bonus: Working with Nocturne was so easy. They listened to what we wanted and didn't want. Here are just a few comments from our guests: "They could sing everything…and very well!" "I loved how they interacted with the crowd! We were on the dance floor all night." "I kept thinking a DJ was playing songs, but I had to keep reminding myself that it was live music!
Nocturne Wedding Band ReviewWednesday, June 28th, 2017
Hi Megan,
Thank you so much to you and all the band members for an unbelievable night Sunday. You and Matt were so easygoing and fun to work with it made planning a breeze. The music was something I was completely confident in from the moment we booked you and we definitely were not disappointed!
All of our guests have been RAVING about how amazing the music was! We have several musicians in the family and they all were all blown away. One cousin in particular danced the night away and kept making the mind blown gesture at all of the song changes lol. He said you were DJ and live music all in one due to the amazingly seamless transitions and literally kept trying to explain to us why it was so incredible! We loved having you and your co-vocalist on the dance floor, it made everything just that much more awesome.
You sincerely made our night, and we can't thank you enough. Our wedding was everything we could hope for. All of your singing, song choices, and music was picture perfect. Thank you, too, for our 1st dance song; I don't know how we looked but I know we had a blast and the song was perfect!
I'll be posting reviews over the next few weeks, and if there's anywhere specific I can post for you please let me know.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Nocturne Band Wedding ReviewWednesday, June 28th, 2017
Thank you for reaching out. I am happy to say Nocturne exceeded all of our expectations. Folks are still talking about how amazing our band was. Several friends told us they thought our first dance song (Hunter Hayes Wanted) was a recording until they looked up and saw Matt singing the song. And the fact that Meghan was willing to learn/sing my wife's father-daughter dance (a song from Sleeping Beauty that is basically opera and was a surprise for my wife from her father) was incredible. She wouldn't let us use a recording and told us they'd be more than happy to do it even though it's a bit unique. I can really say they were incredible and while my wife and I were a bit hesitant with how much they really cost us to have at our wedding, they were worth every penny! They made the night what it was! I'll make sure my wife leaves feedback on The Knot asap. Thanks again!

Less talk, more action
2014 EU-wide, Stress Testing: Scenarios, Methodologies and Challenges
By Luis Mariottoni, Risk Business Solutions Manager, SAS
Last week The European Banking Authority (EBA) published the details of its 2014 EU-wide stress test with its scenarios and methodology. This has triggered divergent opinions and criticism from market specialists and industry analysts. But there is one common theme: there is an urgent need for a structured, well-established and cost effective stress testing framework.
Some believe this new exercise is the most severe and comprehensive since EBA stress testing was adopted in Europe. Others think it may miss considerations regarding emerging issues in the region and may not seem so severe, compared to its equivalent on the other side of the pond.
The EBA created this stress test exercise in an attempt to fix the image of the EU financial sector before the - European Central Bank (ECB) assumes supervisory responsibility for the main European banks in November.
The EBA claims these stress test scenarios are extremely peremptory —and very prescriptive for national supervisors who will be carrying out the tests. It believes weak banks will fall short.
Some believe this new exercise is the most severe and comprehensive since EBA stress testing was adopted in Europe. Others think it may miss considerations regarding emerging issues in the region and may not seem so severe, compared to its equivalent on the other side of the pond.
"The methodology developed by the EBA for the stress test will ensure a robust and effective tool for supervisors to address remaining vulnerabilities in the EU banking sector," said Andrea Enria, chairperson of the EBA.
From a macroeconomic point of view, this methodology is more severe than its previous versions. Over its three-year period – a year longer than the previous exercise – banks must show they can handle a drastic shift in the economy from expansion of 5.3 percent to contraction of 2.1 percent, much worse than the 0.4 percent decline in the last test. Such poor economic performance would drive unemployment up to 13 percent – almost 30 percent more than in the baseline scenario – and drag home prices down 20 percent on average, triggering defaults on loans held by banks on trading books, the EBA said.
Gonzalo Gasos, senior policy adviser for banking supervision at the European Banking Federation, is not wholly convinced these methods will work. "It is still too early to provide a detailed analysis, but our overall thinking to date is that the elements of the publication portray a scenario that is unrealistic and could put EU banks in a worse light than in reality," he said.
"The static balance sheet assumption combined with caps on floors is overly conservative because the bank's capacity to react to an adverse situation is not taken into account, unlike the tests run in the UK and US where dynamic balance sheets were admitted. We nevertheless welcome the fact that the EBA have respected the phasing-in of the capital requirements legislation," he added.
Providing another perspective, David Keohane, blogger for the Financial Times, compares the EBA stress testing with that defined by the Federal Reserve in the US: "This would imply a cumulative real GDP decline of 2.1 percent over 3 years, notably less than the stress applied in the US CCAR (a 4.75 percent decline over 15 months) and a peak unemployment rate of 13.0 percent versus US CCAR 11.25 percent. Equity prices are expected to decline by 19 percent relative to the baseline (US CCAR -50 percent decline), residential house prices by 21 percent (US CCAR – 25 percent) and commercial property prices by 15 percent (US CCAR – 35 percent)," he concludes, "We think that means the EBA, when designing any stress test, has to hold fire for fear of spooking tender souls."
There are also concerns about how current emerging situations would impact the financial sector in the upcoming future. A great example would be possible economic sanctions to Moscow and possible retaliatory reduction in Russian gas exports to Europe. A few analysts have criticized this aspect saying that this exercise focuses on history rather than future outlook.
From a methodology point of view, the EBA has made a change to the earlier presented version. It said that banks would now have to assume losses on some government bonds in their banking books, which goes in favor of the EBA and against past.
In this new version, the stress test covers different types of risks – credit, market, sovereign, cost of funds and interest income, non-interest income and expenses, and operational risk – with different levels of calculation complexity. Credit risk has the most complex methodology that takes into consideration detailed projections of probability of default and losses based on portfolio characteristics while market risk has a simpler calculation based on risk parameters.
There are a few challenges to be considered as part of the stress test framework:
- Governance. Analyzing the different scenarios and their impact on calculations according to the method applied as well as the integration between risk and finance. "
- Data readiness. Data may not be available for some of the banks at the granularity required, and data may not have the required quality. The Risk Assessment and Asset Quality Review steps of the Comprehensive Assessment are supposed to take care of these aspects. Banks need to be able to respond quickly to data validation and data correction needs.
- Repeatable and efficient. This process needs to be built in a way that can be re-used and can consume fewer resources than it currently does once the supervisors have shown an appreciation to embed it as part of the bank's strategy.
In summary, stress testing is here to stay and there will remain many questions to be debated, but certainly, this new methodology will continue to draw a great amount of attention from the stakeholders in the financial sector. The regulation will profoundly impact how the European and global economies evolve. It's time to take action.

7 Day Monday
Monday, May 17, 2010
One of my favourite podcasts at the moment is 7 Day Sunday, featuring comedians Chris Addison, Andy Zaltzman and Sarah Millican, often with other guests. It's a Sunday morning overview of the previous week's news. On BBC5 in England. In Australia, it's a podcast I try to remember to listen to on Monday while it's still more-or-less relevant.
Although more recently, it's also the source of a Sunday night (Australian time) challenge I attempt to rise to. Addison will tweet for audience suggestions regarding an issue that's been in the press. I try to contribute something funny and clever enough to make it to air.
This week the question was, what can former British PM Gordon Brown do now that he's resigned?
I've always thought Brown was separated-at-birth twin of Monty Python's Terry Jones.
My suggestion made it to air. And it made Andy Zaltzman and Sarah Millican laugh. Nice.

In the wake of what is just over one year since Oracle adopted the stewardship of Java, there has been comparatively less news emanating from the corporate portals that now govern the programming language and platform as to its future direction.
Aiming to redress this imbalance, Oracle used its Oracle OpenWorld and JavaOne 2010 conference this week to announce plans for advancement of the Java Platform Standard Edition (Java SE) and talk about how it wants to optimize it. This improvement program will now include new application models and hardware, extended support for scripting languages, increased developer productivity focus and work to lower operational costs.
This week's newly announced roadmap for the OpenJDK establishes an intention to accelerate the availability of Java SE with two releases, one in 2011 and one in 2012. These OpenJDK releases will continue to serve as the basis for the Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK) 7 and JDK 8. Oracle says that decisions regarding the features to be included in the JDK 7 and JDK 8 releases have been made with active participation of the Java community.
"Oracle has a strong vested interest in the success of the Java platform and is firmly committed to advancing Java SE and accelerating its release schedule," said Adam Messinger, vice president of development, Fusion Middleware, Oracle. "Oracle also recognizes the pivotal role that the Java community serves in the evolution of the Java platform and pledges to increase both our collaboration with the community and the openness of our development process."
In the face of what is almost certainly some widespread industry skepticism, Oracle says that the OpenJDK project continues to thrive with contributions from the company itself, as well as other research bodies and individuals.
Oracle notes that it is currently working to merge the Oracle Java HotSpot Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and the Oracle JRockit JVM into a converged offering that leverages the best features of each of these implementations. It also plans to contribute the results of the combined Oracle Java HotSpot and Oracle JRockit JVMs to the OpenJDK project.
The Oracle JDK and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) will continue to be available as free downloads, with no changes to the existing licensing models. During this time, the OpenJDK licensing model remains the same.
Proposed JDK 7 features include:
- InvokeDynamic bytecode and supporting features for dynamic languages
- Fork/Join Framework and related concurrency and collections API enhancements for improved multi-threaded Java code
- Small Language Enhancements (most of "Project Coin") for higher developer productivity and cleaner, more concise Java code
- Session Description Protocol (SDP) and Stream Control Transport Protocol (SCTP) support
- New I/O APIs -– A flexible file system API and asynchronous I/O
- Support for updated standards -- Unicode, localization, security, cryptography, XML and JDBC
- JVM performance improvements
Proposed JDK 8 features include:
- Lambda expressions ("closures") for higher developer productivity and better leveraging of multi-core CPUs
- Small language enhancements (Remaining parts of "Project Coin")
- A Java-native module system ("Project Jigsaw") to simplify the construction, packaging, and deployment of applications
- JVM start-up time and ergonomics improvements

220.127.116.11 Cloud-radiative feedback processes
Clouds affect radiation both through their three-dimensional geometry and the amount, size and nature of the hydrometeors which they contain. In climate models these properties translate into cloud cover at different levels, cloud water content (for liquid water and ice) and cloud droplet (or crystal) equivalent radius. The interaction of clouds and radiation also involves other parameters (asymmetry factor of the Mie diffusion) which depend on cloud composition, and most notably on their phase. The subtle balance between cloud impact on the solar short-wave (SW) and terrestrial long-wave (LW) radiation may be altered by a change in any of those parameters. In response to any climate perturbation the response of cloudiness thereby introduces feedbacks whose sign and amplitude are largely unknown. While the SAR noted some convergence in the cloud radiative feedback simulated by different models between two successive intercomparisons (Cess et al., 1990, 1995, 1996), this convergence was not confirmed by a separate consideration of the SW and LW components.
Schemes predicting cloudiness as a function of relative humidity generally show an upward displacement of the higher troposphere cloud cover in response to a greenhouse warming, resulting in a positive feedback (Manabe and Wetherald, 1987). While this effect still appears in more sophisticated models, and even cloud resolving models (Wu and Moncrieff, 1999; Tompkins and Emanuel, 2000), the introduction of cloud water content as a prognostic variable, by decoupling cloud and water vapour, has added new features (Senior and Mitchell, 1993; Lee et al., 1997). As noted in the SAR, a negative feedback corresponding to an increase in cloud cover, and hence cloud albedo, at the transition between ice and liquid clouds occurs in some models, but is crucially dependent on the definition of the phase transition within models. The sign of the cloud cover feedback is still a matter of uncertainty and generally depends on other related cloud properties (Yao and Del Genio, 1999; Meleshko et al., 2000).
Most GCMs used for climate simulations now include interactive cloud optical properties. Cloud optical feedbacks produced by these GCMs, however, differ both in sign and strength. The transition between water and ice may be a source of error, but even for a given water phase, the sign of the variation of cloud optical properties with temperature can be a matter of controversy. Analysis from the ISCCP data set, for example, revealed a decrease of low cloud optical thickness with cloud temperature in the sub-tropical and tropical latitudes and an increase at middle latitudes in winter (Tselioudis et al., 1992; Tselioudis and Rossow, 1994). A similar relationship between cloud liquid water path and cloud temperature was found in an analysis of microwave satellite observations (Greenwald et al., 1995). This is opposite to the assumptions on adiabatic increase of cloud liquid water content with temperature, adopted in early studies, and still present in many models. Changes in cloud water path reflect different effects which may partially compensate, such as changes in cloud vertical extension or cloud water content. The role of low cloud optical thickness dependence on climate was tested in 2xCO2 experiments using the GISS GCM, in which simulations with fixed or simulated cloud optical properties were compared (Tselioudis et al., 1998). In spite of a low impact on global sensitivity, these results showed a strong cloud impact on the latitudinal distribution of the warming. High latitude warming decreased while low latitude warming increased, resulting in a large decrease in the latitudinal amplification of the warming (by 20% in the Northern Hemisphere and by 40% in the Southern Hemisphere).
Since the SAR, there has been much progress in the use of simplified tropical models to understand the impact of cloud feedbacks, and to address the issue of whether cloud feedbacks impose an upper limit on SST. This problem has been addressed in simplified models that maintain consistency with the whole-tropics energy budget (Pierrehumbert, 1995; Clement and Seager, 1999; Larson et al., 1999). Diagnostic studies have suggested both destabilising (Chou and Neelin, 1999) and stabilising (Lindzen et al., 2001) cloud feedbacks. None of this supports the existence of a strict limitation of maximum tropical SST of the sort proposed by Ramanathan and Collins (1991), which has been criticised on the grounds that it does not respect the whole-tropics energy budget, and that it employs an incorrect means of determining the threshold temperature for convection. It is beyond question that the increased cloudiness prevailing over the warmer portions of the Pacific has a strong effect on the surface energy budget, which is fully competitive with the importance of evaporation. Determination of SST, however, requires a consistent treatment of the top-of-atmosphere energy budget, and cannot be effected with reference to the surface budget alone. This does not preclude the possibility that other cloud feedback mechanisms could have a profound effect on tropical SST, and in no way implies that cloud representation is inconsequential in the tropics. Meehl et al. (2000) illustrate this point when they show how a change from a diagnostic prescription of clouds in the NCAR atmospheric GCM to a prognostic cloud liquid water formulation changes the sign of net cloud forcing in the eastern tropical Pacific and completely alters the nature of the coupled model response to increased greenhouse gases.

As this was the first time I had ever used a sitter for my son in the evening, I was apprehensive as to how things would go. Lisa arrived on time and immediately introduced herself, both to myself and to my son. She interacted with my son very well, asking questions about his school and what he liked to do and made it clear to him that if he wished to do an activity with her then she would be more than happy to particpate. Upon my return she let me know what they did and how things went and my mind was set at ease that everything went ok. I asked my son the next day and he was also happy with how things went, which obviousely is a relief if I was to use the service again. Overall I was very pleased with the service and would not hesitate in using Lisa and Sitters again. Thank you.
The first time i have used this agency( or any !!), so didnt know what to expect. Perfect comms 1 hour pre arrival to check all was still well. Arrived slightly early. I stayed for 25 mins with my 2 year old as he had just woke up. He was surprisingly ok with Carole considering she was a stranger !( bit of a clingy boy usually) They crack on with the thomas track. When i returned he was playing happily with puzzles.Made up with the service and Carole and would welcome her back any time.THANK YOU !!
We used sitters for the first time recently for our little boy Harry and were a little nervous about how we would feel with someone other than family baby sitting for us. However, our sitter Jane immediately put us at ease and we couldn't have felt more relaxed on our night out. We are thrilled that things worked out so well and can now look forward to our next night out knowing that Harry is in safe hands. Thanks Jane and sitters!

I'm not a morning person. I hit the snooze button at least four times every morning before admitting defeat and rolling out of bed. It takes a truly heroic amount of coffee to get me upright with my eyes open, and even then I'm probably just sleep-walking until around 10am.
But if you have to wake up before noon, then it's hard to get a better start to your day than with a delicious breakfast for 2, complete with stunning waterfront views, at Nautilus, one of the finest restaurants, cafes, function and wedding venues Tauranga has to offer!

They came to bury Kennewick Man, not praise him
This study almost did not happen. Several Native American tribes sued to stop Kennewick Man from being studied under the provisions of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. The tribes lost as they could not prove Kennewick Man was their ancestor and scientists were finally cleared to study the remains last year.
I am sympathetic to the claims of the Native Americans in this case. I do not believe that American Indian burial sites should be disturbed for study without tribal consent. However, I think there needs to be a time limit imposed on the invocation of this law. It is going to be nearly impossible to ever learn anything about the migration of humans into pre-historic America if all remains from these times are seized and reburied without study. (And no, I do not know how far back a time limit should be imposed. But I think it is a reasonable suggestion.)
The Clovis Migration Theory has been shown to have some flaws. There is evidence that humans have been in the new world much longer than previously believed. Further, there may have been waves of immigrants not only from Asia but from Polynesia, Africa, and Europe too. Some of these groups may have been wiped out or assimilated into other communities. This is an exciting field of study and I hope more evidence (human remains or other) can be found to help build knowledge in this area.
From the site:
It's not quite CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, but the oldest forensic science case in the country is back in the spotlight. Scientists have presented their evaluation of the remains of a man who died 9,300 years ago, the fruit of a nine-year legal battle for the right to examine the skeleton now known as "Kennewick Man." The bones were found by two boating enthusiasts along the Columbia River in Kennewick, Wash. in 1996.
At last week's American Academy of Forensic Sciences conference in Seattle, Smithsonian Institution scientist Doug Owsley presented results of a "taphonomy" of the bones. Taphonomy is the "study of the transformation of materials into the archaeological record," according to The Penguin Archaeology Guide (I keep a copy on the nightstand), one of those fun science words that basically means, "how this thing got buried."
And Kennewick Man was deliberately buried. A 20-member science team working last year has determined the man's body was likely interred along the river, arms at his side and hands down with head slightly inclined upward, Owsley said. His feet were pointed downstream. The bones had been washed out of their burial place by heavy rains about six weeks before their discovery.

It definitely is a hard line to find - when should you be able to study bones without consent. A find like the Kennewick man doesn't come along that often and is so important to science. At the same time, we are disinterring remains that were purposely buried. I think that the bones must be treated with respect, but in a way, we are honoring them by studying them. I know the thought that my bones could further historical knowledge in 9300 years would make me happy. I wouldn't mind my ancestors being studied for scientific knowledge, but that's just me. If we were to pick a "time out" date it would be very hard to pick. No matter what the time frame is, it will offend some people.

When one studies the history of the Kennewick Man (KM), some of the questions surrounding the analysis of the skeleton become obvious, at least to me.
Jennie W. asks " ... when should you (seemingly meaning scientists) be able to study bones without consent." This would be tough to answer in some cases nearer in time, but in the case of the KM, who is going to provide "consent?"
First of all, there is no one to give "consent." The native american tribes claimed that KM was one of their ancestors, but they could not develop a racial connection that they were related to KM, who was at first thought to be Caucasoid, but who is now thought to be of Ainu (a race of folks in Japan that have Caucasoid features) or Polynesian origin. Many other rationales for the claims of the Native Americans were thought to be impossible claims by the judge in the final lawsuit that gave the scientists permission to study the bones.
Secondly, the bones are being studied with great honor. There are protections in the scientific protocols being used in the study that will preserve the skeleton and not deface, or otherwise do damage, to it.
The knowledge of how the Americas were originally settled will be enhanced tremendouly by the skeleton. The racial identity of the KM completely destroys the commonly held belief that the Americas were first populated by Asians crossing the Bering Strait during a time when it was frozen . Virtually every textbook on the subject has taught this belief.
Anyway, it is extremely interesting to have followed this series of events as they have unfolded.

Casa Colina is a non-profit, freestanding, community-governed organization.
With incredible support from our community, we have been privileged to
bring the benefits of rehabilitation to tens of thousands of people since
our first patient in 1938. In the decades that followed, we continued
to expand our care to include a state-of-the-art hospital that offers
acute rehabilitation and medical-surgical care, as well as a broad range
of outpatient services that includes specialized physician clinics, physical
therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, neuropsychology, diagnostic
imaging, children's services and even an outdoor recreation program
for people with disabilities. In the pages that follow, you'll discover
more about our
leadership, our
nearly 80-year legacy and the numerous ways we help people achieve optimum health, gain independence
and return to the highest level of function possible.
Above all else, we want to provide every individual the maximum opportunity
for rehabilitation after an unexpected injury or illness, or debilitating
disease. This is at the very core of everything we do here. Casa Colina
is a unique Center of Excellence that provides a culture of collaboration
where medical leaders and experienced physical rehabilitation experts
work together to help individuals steadily progress from one level of
achievement to the next. It's a complete continuum of care designed
for patients at any stage of rehabilitation - from acute rehabilitation
hospital care to post-acute residential and outpatient services that are
conveniently accessible throughout a state-of-the-art 20-acre Pomona campus
and satellite locations.
Where do patients turn for help when they need financial support to continue
their care at Casa Colina? Where does a parent turn for additional support
for his or her child's disability? The Casa Colina Foundation acts
as a safety net for people who may greatly benefit from Casa Colina's
programs and services, but lack the ability to pay for them.
The discoveries we make at Casa Colina are destined to not only help our
patients, but others throughout the world. Each year, the Casa Colina
Research Institute conducts clinical research studies to improve the clinical
care of people with disabilities, and discover new findings about disabilities.
The Casa Colina Stroke Program is renowned for offering one of the most
extensive stroke rehabilitation facilities available in Southern California
and the country. It offers various levels of care that include
Casa Colina Hospital, a Joint Commission-accredited facility, which has a unique physician-directed
program designed to help stroke survivors travel the path to recovery
through various levels of rehabilitation. It offers more ways to help
people regain their independence, return home, and enjoy their lives again.
The hospital relies on proven clinical pathways that ensure "best
practices" are used by the team throughout a patient's stay.
Participation in
clinical trials may also be available to appropriate patients.
The Casa Colina Stroke Center's inpatient rehabilitation involves:
Upon being discharged from Casa Colina Hospital, some individuals may not
be completely ready to return to their home and community settings. They
may require post-acute care to further their rehabilitation. The CARF-accredited
Transitional Living Center, located on campus directly across from the hospital, offers a short-term
residential setting where individuals may benefit from six hours of individual
and group therapy, six days a week. A day treatment program is also available.
Patients who have had a Stroke may only need
Casa Colina's Outpatient Services where they may access a variety of programs that include:
Our experienced team finds innovative ways to help stroke survivors overcome
disabilities and maintain a rewarding lifestyle – so patients can
achieve the highest level of independence possible.
For more information, please call 909/596-7733, ext. 3900 or toll-free
866/724-4127, ext. 3900. We also invite you to
apply to participate in research opportunities to improve care for others recovering from stroke.

Smoke and Mirrors, folks. Here's the thing... it is a boxed cake mix with whipped cream and strawberries. Does it get any easier? As I learned as a caterer, presentation goes a long way.
For your 4th of July Party, put this at the center of some store-bought pies, piles of brownies and cupcakes and you'll have a dessert buffet that is photo worthy.
I've created a Strawberry Cream Cake label for you to print to make your creation look extra special. If you plan to make other desserts, just print the blank labels and write in (or type in) the name of your dessert.
To print the "Strawberry Cream...
Cake" sign or blank label, click on the image to enlarge. Right click on the image and "Save As".
Strawberry Cream Cake
1 White Cake (from a box)
This is a small 6-inch cake - I made the rest of the batter into cupcakes.
4 cups of Whipped Cream (recipe below)
1 pint of Real Strawberries
|Me, at the age of two (I think. Right, Mom?) with my eyes and fingers set
on my Strawberry Shortcake (the cartoon character) birthday cake.
I owe an apology to all of my clients, friends and family : For the last 20+ years I have been serving you large, 'beautiful' store-bought, commercially grown strawberries. I'm sorry. I should have known better!
When I was young, I adored strawberries (see photo at right...). We had our very own strawberry patch in the backyard (I think it was even planted in a tracker tire - how 80's is that!). Little did I know that in the coming years, I would forget how amazing these ripe little gems were and I would be falsely swooned by the giant season-less strawberries found at the grocery store. I've discovered that real strawberries - tiny little strawberries that actually ripen on the vine (vs. in a truck/box) are still alive and well in Concord, Ma. Every produce farm has "Pick Your Own" signs and plenty of berries for the taking.
Do yourself a favor - find some real strawberries. They are like nothing you've ever tasted.
Since you were five-years-old, at least.
Whipped Cream*
2 cups of heavy whipping cream
1/4 - 1/2 cup of sugar
In a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cream until it is light and airy. Add sugar. Mix well.
*If you are really short on time (or you are my sister and actually prefer it...), use cool whip. It will stand up to the heat better than real whipped cream.

This weekend was a good one. I went down to St George-it was so nice to escape to where it's a little bit warmer!! I'm not ready for this cold weather business yet!
Friday I left work early so Megan, Camilla, and I could drive down to St George. Camilla was running the St George marathon Saturday morning and Megan and I went down to support! The drive was fine-I think 3 hours is my max drive time. I am just not a road trip girl. As soon as we got to St George we went to the expo so Camilla could pick up her packet. Then we went to Brick Oven for pizza and salad! Yum!
Saturday morning we took Camilla to the start line at 4 am! So early!! I was glad it was not me running and that I could go home and go back to bed! We slept in a bit and watched the morning session of general conference. I feel like Saturday always has really good talks-a reward of sorts for watching on Saturday. Ha.
We went and watched Camilla come through the finish line in the afternoon! So proud of her for finishing strong!!
Then we grabbed a quick lunch and watched the afternoon session. After the afternoon session we lounged for a bit, got ready, then went to catch dinner and a movie. We saw Austenland!! If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It's a cute little chick flick that's pretty hilarious. It was a fun way to spend the evening.
Sundays we hung around St George a little longer than we usually do. We had breakfast at the house and watched the morning session of conference and then headed back to the SLC afterwards.
Sunday evening was lovely. I had dinner with the fam, Jeremy came over for a bit, and we made some amazing banana bread. It was nice to end the evening relaxing at home!
Up Ahead
This week will be a busy one! Joshua Radin (eeek!) and Matt Nathanson concert, going to see Gravity, book club, and another weekend getaway-this time up north to Rexburg!

LOS ANGELES, July 26 (UPI) — Parts of the Angeles National Forest have been closed after authorities said a trapped ground squirrel had tested positive for plague.
The Los Angeles County Health Department said the Table Mountain campgrounds of Twisted Arrow, Broken Blade and Pima Loops would be closed for at least a week, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
The areas are being closed as a precaution because plague can be transmitted to humans through flea bites, the health advisory said.
The burrows of squirrels, which are known to carry the plague, will be dusted for fleas, officials said.
Jonathan E. Fielding, head of the health department, said only four cases of human plague had been reported in Los Angeles County since 1984, and none was fatal.
Fielding also advised visitors who go near the campsites not to feed wild animals and to prevent their pets from getting fleas.
Symptoms of bubonic plaque, which is caused by plague spread through flea bites, include enlargement of lymph glands and rapid onset of fever and chills.
Plague can be treated with antibiotics but can be fatal if left untreated.
