No. 1 USC At Stanford Intercollegiate
Oct. 15, 2009
The top-ranked USC women's golf team, which won its only event this season - September's Mason Rudolph Challenge - looks to make it two in a row at the Stanford Intercollegiate Championships Friday through Sunday (Oct. 16-18) at the Stanford G.C.
The impressive field includes No. 2 UCLA, No. 3 Arizona State and No. 7 California as well as No. 12 Oklahoma State, No. 15 host Stanford, No. 18 Denver and No. 25 Vanderbilt.
Action begins Friday and Saturday at 8:30 a.m. while Sunday's play starts at 7:30 a.m.
USC's 14th-year head coach Andrea Gaston's lineup will feature the return of senior Belen Mozo, making her return from shoulder surgery that followed the end of the 2009 season. Joining Mozo is sophomore Jennifer Song, senior Caroline Kim, sophomore Inah Park and freshman Cyna Rodriguez.
USC returns four All-Americans overall in Mozo, senior Stefanie Endstrasser, junior Lizette Salas, sophomore Jennifer Song. Mozo, Salas and Song were ranked among Golfweek's preseason top 10 individual players with Song at No. 1, Salas at No. 5 and Mozo at No. 9.
Salas played in USC's opening event this year. Endstrasser has yet to debut this season.
At the rain-shortened Mason Rudolph earlier this year, USC, which began the final round tied for first with Auburn at 10-under, didn't card the lowest round of the day, but its 6-under 282 was good enough to take the two-round title at 16-under 560 (278-282). The win was USC's first since winning the 2008 national championship. Jennifer Song won the individual title, her first solo title as a collegiate player (she tied for first at the Pac-10 Championships). Song fired a pair of 6-under 66s to win the event at 12-under 132 (66-66), three strokes better than Vanderbilt's Alex Marina and Auburn's Cydney Clanton (who were tied at 135).
Including the 2003 and 2008 NCAA titles, USC has finished in the NCAA Championships' top 4 in five of the past seven years. In fact, the Trojans, who finished third in 2009, have reached the NCAA Championships 12 times in a row under Gaston and have been in the top 7 nine times.

I'm at Vogue Festival this weekend so going to try to post updates in between all the workshops and fill you in on what's been going on!
I went to a workshop on personal style this morning with insights from Lisa Armstrong,Lucinda Chambers, Amanda Harlech and Alexa Chung and it was amazing!
Of course, they were all dressed fabulously well! Lucinda Chambers wore a mix up of Celine, high-street and Portobello road buys, Amanda Harlech wore Chanel Couture (how fabulous for a Saturday morning!?) and Alexa Chung looked lovely in a white midi shirt dress with a cute sparkly crop top layered over (not sure of the brand!)
Here's a few little quotes..
'So many things appeal to me and that's my problem' - LC
'Style gets easier as you get older and evolve' - LC
'If I go on a date I would wear dungarees, because if they like me in that then it will be fine!' - AC
I don't necessarily follow trends but I like to follow stories' - AH
It was also interesting to find out that the panel believe that you don't need huge amounts of money to look stylish. You just need to be yourself, make mistakes (they all admitted to wearing terrible outfits at some time in their lives!) and be adventurous. Another tip is to ask your friends 'what's been my best ever look?' to help you find your own unique and personal style.
The talk ended with a brilliant quote:
Fashion fades but style is eternal
And here's my outfit from Day 1 at Vogue Festival:
What I'm wearing:
Jacket - & Other Stories
Top and Trousers - Topshop
Shoes - Zara
What do you think personal style is?

text: I have a quick question. I have the Handcent SMS App installed on my phone, and I have been using that. I disabled the stock SMS notifications in favor of the Handcent SMS. However, for some reason, while all of my contacts have the same notification sound, one of my contacts has a different sound. How do I make it so that everytime I receive a text from someone, it has the same sound. And the fact that this one contact has a different sound, is there a way I can customize a different SMS sound for each contact?

Violens are really, one of those bands that aren't exactly the most genre specific. I suppose, we could loosely call them gothic, maybe even a little (I say this with dread)… Indie? Though really isn't indie just the most sickening umbrella term as a music fan? Someone tells you to listen to their favourite band, attempting to persuade you by using the term 'indie' and it's never convincing. Is this the same with Violens? Perhaps Violens have cleverly formulated a sin-hider genre, one that makes anything acceptable, or expectable. For me, Violens aren't the easiest band to like. It's not that they're bad; they're certainly not, but it seems that calling yourself a Violens fan is the same as being one of those people that answers the question of 'What music do you like?' with the vague and nondescript "Oh, you know… a bit of everything." Is anyone a really huge fan of Violens? Are there people out there who own 5+ items of Violens merch and attend every show? I'd be surprised…
I may seem a little harsh in my approach to this album and I mustn't be mistaken, True is very much an enjoyable album, and as the Brooklyn boys' first true (if that pun was intended I couldn't allow myself to write again) full-band writing effort, it's a pretty good attempt. Maybe Violens should have been writing like this all along, True has much more charm and dreaminess about it, daydreamers taken away by musical sentimentality and dreaminess may even call it excellent with the album's upbeat and slight pop-hints that feature on a few tracks. It's more together than its predecessor Amoral, which, perhaps you would expect from a full-band input, yet it still defies classification in true Violens style.
But what can we really expect from a band who have been compared to Ride and Echo and The Bunnymen, there's no set direction that we could ever expect from Violens and with True, they're serial genre-mashers. Opening track 'Totally True' is a clever Cure-style take on what sounds like Joy Division's 'Transmission', while 'When Let Go' appears to take a more Girls-esque dream-pop approach. It's an album that shows what Violens are capable of… and in a way, that's far too many things. They retain their positive-weirdness of the last album, but credit to the band, they've somehow reinvented it which cleverly could be a way of growing their fanbase.
There may be a lack of distinct identity about Violens as a band, but what's to say that isn't a good thing? There's a level of intrigue about what they will do, and although that might not be the best thing in ensuring success, True does offer up some brilliant tracks.

I am not one of those poor blokes.
...Just proves if you keep your trigger thumb ready you can get even the most elusive of entertainers on tape.
Halloween 2013
Background: I caught this for Instagram last night. Basically my fool of a husband loves to beg me to watch scary movies with him...I give in...he falls asleep and I'm left watching and peeing in my pants in solitude. It's not cool...I woke him up for this one! It was wayyy too scary to watch alone. (The movie, not this tiny clip of him in action...although he did see it and laughed his arse off, too.)

Congressman Barney Frank strongly criticized the Iraq war in his Memorial Day speech to Wellesley Middle School students this week, and predicted that Congress would vote to start ending the war in September.
Congressman Barney Frank strongly criticized the Iraq war in his Memorial Day speech to Wellesley Middle School students this week, and predicted that Congress would vote to start ending the war in September.
"Saddam Hussein was a very terrible ruler, but I did not think that he was a significant threat to the United States," said Frank, explaining his 2002 vote against giving President Bush the authority to wage war against Iraq. "Both Iraq and Afghanistan were ruled by tyrants who inflicted great pain on their people. But Afghanistan was being used as a platform from which to attack us, while Iraq was not."
During his remarks to middle-school students, Frank emphasized that politicians who put America's military service men and women in harm's way should always have a clear and just reason for doing so. In outlining his beliefs on what constitutes a just war, Frank said countries should only use military force in self-defense, or to stop grievous human rights abuses, such as those occurring in Darfur. Because Afghanistan was harboring the man whose terrorist organization had attacked the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, Frank said that his vote in favor of the war in Afghanistan was wholly justified.
"Afghanistan was a country where Osama bin Laden was operating in 2001," he said. "We didn't invade them until they gave refuge to a man who had waged war on us."
In addition to having just cause, Frank said, wars should generally only be waged if they "are going to do more good than harm" and that "if responding militarily does more harm than good," then he'd "be very reluctant to do it."
Frank went on to say that waging war in Iraq was not only costing the United States blood and treasure, but was also hurting the war effort in Afghanistan.
"Because we have spent so much military might and money in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan isn't going as well as we'd like," he said. "If we were not fighting the war in Iraq, we would be making much more progress in Afghanistan."
Frank also said that Congress, despite passing the recent $95 billion war spending bill recently, would begin seriously trying to end the Iraq war in September, when the House and Senate are due to discuss funding the war for the fiscal 2008 budget.
"By September, many of us are going to say this is the end," he said. "I believe you will see Congress finally vote to start ending the war."
Frank emphasized that his criticism of the war should not in any way be seen as a criticism of the men and women of the armed forces and said that "being critical of people who are doing their service to their country is a betrayal of fundamental principles."
Prior to Frank's speech, WMS Principal John D'Auria honored former middle-school students who had served or are serving in the military: Julie Perry, Mike Flynn, Conor Stevens, Bob Marchione, Ben Feldman, Megan Fitzsimmons, Jesse Davis, Katherine Patillo, Jeff Perez, Tom Hennesey, Justin Oulette, John Serafini, Fred Klingermeir and Jason Kivett.
He also thanked WMS custodian Larry Pellegrini for his service, as well as Thad Yukna, the husband of high school guidance counselor Janet Yukna. D'Auria also gave four eighth-grade students, Conrad Classen, Dillon Prives, Shelby Witherford and Soo Young Bang, special awards recognizing them for courage. He also recognized middle-school science teacher Priscilla Leach for her work helping victims of Hurricane Katrina down in New Orleans.

First let me warn you that this post will be far more technical than any of my previous content. I have been working on some pretty advanced networking issues at my office and have decided to begin publishing some of the solutions that I have discovered. This solution was not to hard to find but it is buried in the middle of a manual and does not specifically discuss the magic triangle or golden triangle configuration that I am using. So for anyone out there that manages a Leopard Mac OS X 10.5 Server Open Directory and Windows 2003/2008 Server Active Directory, this is for you.
With the magic triangle (AD/OD Integration) in place the user records all existing in the active directory and thus can not be altered with Apple's Workgroup Manager (WGM). Therefore we can not simply create an email alias by adding an additional entry in the Short Name field through WGM (this method is known as Mac OS X Server-style alias). Instead we must use the Postfix-style alias which requires use of the command line. The official instructions can be found in the Mail_Service_Admin_v10.5_2nd_ed.pdf on Apple's website.
1) Open a terminal/command line session with the mail server
ssh mail.example.com -l adminuser
2) Open the aliases file for editing
sudo pico /etc/postfix/aliases
3) Add or remove references to mailboxes as needed
Only edit the section of the document titled "# Put your local aliases here."
Enter aliases in the format of "newalias: shortname"
Press Control-O to save the file
Press Control-X to Exit the pico text editor
4) Process the text file into the database for faster access
sudo postalias /etc/postfix/aliases
5) Reload the alias database
sudo newaliases
6) Close the command line for security purposes
(Do this immediately even if you have other cli processes to take care of since the sudo command caches your root password for a short amount of time)

It's getting cheaper to build a data center, according to a study by Environmental Systems Design (ESD), which found that it costs less today to construct a new data center than it did in late 2007. The cost savings are attributed to lower prices for cabling, but ESD reported lower costs for labor and shipping as well. "Our analysis shows that for any company anticipating the need to build or expand a data there is currently a window of opportunity to realize considerable savings," ESD President and CEO Raj Gupta told Building Design and Construction. Here's an excerpt:
During the study period, ESD observed significant reductions in the costs of copper cabling (55%); feeder, both overall (55%) and for copper (48%); copper-based utility transformers (19%); and steel joists (18%). In contrast, ESD found that the price of UPS systems, HVAC equipment (i.e., CRAC units and chillers), pre-case tilt-up concrete building systems are stable; and the market for medium-voltage switchgear remains competitive, although prices have slightly dropped (4%).
The data is based on project estimates using contractor bids for a 60,000 square foot greenfield data center with 20,000 square feet of raised access floor area at a power density of 150 watts per square foot, and 10,000 sqaure feet of office space. Read the BD+C story for more details.

For the last month or so I've been working with All or Nothing Aerial Dance Theatre to produce and rehearse a counterweight flying piece for Enchanted Forest 2014. It's been a fascinating and fun process, and we're now ready to take it onto site tomorrow for the final rehearsals before the three week long sound and light show begins on 3 October. I took a few photos at yesterday's rehearsal, but unfortunately most of them came out very blurry except this one:
It's a really exciting project and performance to be involved with, and I'm looking forward to it immensely. As the show is on every night for over three weeks, I won't be on site every day, but I'll post some more photos soon once I'm there. If you think you'd like to come to the Enchanted Forest yourself, you can buy tickets online here.

These clever on-the-go snack ads boast the extreme convenience of 7-Eleven's quick snacks and meal options. Vancouver-based ad agency Spring created the ads to feature each snack product in the form of a road sign.
By creating an ad that signifies to the audience that the product can be eaten on the go, it provides an appeal to those who have busy schedules. For example, a hot dog has been made to look like a highway. The plain hot dog is sitting in a bun with yellow dashes of mustard that resemble the dashed middle divider line on the road.
These simple on-the-go snack ads appeal to children and adults alike. While the ads project a sense of convenience, the simple yet sophisticated approach ensures everyone can easily understand the message that is being presented.

Conversations with cabbies may soon be a thing of the past, the BBC reports, thanks to an innovation by an Australian company. TouchTaxi allows you to surf the information superhighway while stuck in traffic on London's not-so-super highways. And it sounds like a terrible idea.
It consists of a touch-screen interface by the passenger seat and a PC in the boot. The Melbourne-based company that is promoting it over here touts a range of benefits from the service, such as being able to find a local bar or restaurant while travelling to an unfamiliar area. But why would anyone wait until they were en route before deciding where to eat out? And isn't the point of The Knowledge that cabbies should be able to take you to exactly where you're going?
There are, however, supposed to be other amazing things you can do with TouchTaxi. For instance, we all know what it's like to be stuck in a taxi when you suddenly decide to get a mortgage. Well, Londonist doesn't, but there must be someone out there who does, because TouchTaxi will not only be able to tell you how large a mortgage you can get, it will also be able to get someone to call your mobile and try to sell it to you. Already, TouchTaxi is looking every bit as useful as an underwater toaster.
But it's the advertising aspect that takes TouchTaxi from being merely useless to being pure evil. The system will broadcast the cab's location by GPS, so you can be bombarded with area-specific ads. For instance, pass a poster display for one credit card and TouchTaxi will try and distract you with information about its rivals, thus instantly doubling the amount of advertising you're exposed to.
Bollocks to that. There's already far too much advertising in London. Give Londonist the passing view and an informed lecture on the failings of asylum policy any day.

a toothsome whole-wheat pasta, baked tofu and homemade chipotle salsa: yay or nay? ideas for veggies to go with?
Sounds good! How about oven-roasted broccoli for your veggie?
Drizzle olive oil in an oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan. Toss in washed florets (from one large bunch). Drizzle with more olive oil and 2-3 cloves chopped garlic. Cover in salt and black pepper to taste. Broil at 400F for about 10-15min, until bright green and beginning to blacken on the tops. Remove from oven and immediately dash 2 tsp lemon juice over hot broccoli. Serve hot.
Sounds tasty and balanced -- just needs color. Broccoli as above, then how about one of the apple salads from the just-ended contest? Leave on the peels to point up the color, or throw in some red grapes or red peppers... Stand in your produce department and let the colors speak for themselves!
YAY! I had WW pasta with sauted shallots, swiss chard (leaves and stems) and parmesan last night - it was VERY tasty, OK well I drizzled that butternut oil and threw a poached egg on top too ...
last night i had it with roasted squash and some steamed veggies. I was hungry at that point, but I have leftovers and broccoli and I think Syronai's idea is great--I love slightly charred broccoli. Going to add some asian eggplant and rutabaga to the roasting mix.
That sounds great. It might be nice to add something creamy to the salsa to make a nice smooth sauce for the pasta. If that sounds good, you can take a peek at this recipe of mine and incorporate any elements of that sauce you think would work: http://verdantkitchen.wordpress.com/2011/01/14/chipotle-cashew-creamy-pasta/
Veggies to go-with: a lightly dressed green salad would be nice to balance out the hearty tofu and pasta.

On any given weekend somewhere in the world Teen Mania, headquartered in the East Texas community of Garden Valley, is touching the lives of thousands of young people. It's one of the largest Christian youth movements in the country. But big stadium events and mission trips around the globe wasn't always the vision of founder Ron Luce.
Seventeen years ago, Ron and his wife Katy took out in their small Chevy Hatchback to share the gospel with a new generation. It wasn't always easy. "I'm calling them up, hey you don't know me... but I'm Ron Luce and I'd like to come to your church to do a youth rally...Ron who? Teen what?...click," remembers Luce. "A lot of times they forgot or we'd get there and the crowds were just amazing...10-20 kids at a time.. We were packing out living rooms across America. We would take offerings from those kids and that's what we would live on to get to the next place."
In the early days there were always questions. But it was prayer and a dedication to a calling that got them through. "And we only have a couple of hundred dollars in our account and I would go back to the car and tell my wife Katy what's just happened," recalls Luce, "she began to tear up and I began to tear up and we just grabbed hands and began to pray it just doesn't matter if everyone cancels on us it doesn't matter if everybody forgets were coming. God's called us to do and we are either going to do it or die trying. And its those pivotal moments that it doesn't matter how hard it is.. God has called us to do it and we'll take the brunt of it if we have to...and somehow we made it..."
This year at huge stadium rallies called Acquire the Fire, Teen Mania will touch the more than a quarter of a million teenagers. Many of those will become interns in the Leadership Academy at the Garden Valley campus. Thousands of others will attend summer camp or travel on mission projects around the world. All from the son of a single mother of four...a self proclaimed party guy who abandoned drugs and alcohol because of a message that changed his life forever.
"When I was 16 I got totally turned on to Jesus. I mean he changed my life and I finally heard a preacher that I could understand talk about Jesus in just normal language rather than longer theological terms that a younger person cannot understand," says Luce. That is a big message that screams from this ministry. Is that...in fact our whole theme this year is the power of one. God can take one person and use you to make an incredible impact on lives around the world wether its in your high school, whether its in your workplace, our whole ministry is about...we want to get kids empowered to reach their city to reach their school to reach the nations of the world. My heart just bleeds for for teenagers in America and the people are not reached, but never had a chance to be reached. I believe God's heart burns for those people and is waiting for someone to finally take the message to them."

The latest trend in fashion has been the monochromatic trend. If you aren't familiar with the monochromatic, let me explain. Dressing in monochromatic means picking a single color, tint, tones or shades and styling an outfit around it without looking like a....oh I don't know...a member of Power Ranger maybe. Consider it as shade blocking instead of color blocking from head to toe. I have to just tell you guys how much I love this trend. It makes putting an outfit together easy and exciting. Just grab clothes in same color hue and dress it up with accessories to make a fashion statement. It's one of the simplest look that can be worn year round and never fails to draw attention to your outfit. In addition to wearing single color hues, black and white is also considered to be monochromatic and is one of the easiest summer trends to carry out. For my look today, I went with black and white from head to toe in preparation of summer. Hope you enjoy this look!
Let me know....what do you think about this trend?

Rough Cuts
Film news and giveaways for beautiful cineaste types
Farewell to the wonderful writer and translator Robin Buss. Better known for his television review work in The Independent on Sunday, Buss was also a film theorist and cinéaste of rare note. Not only did he write an excellent critical study of Cocteau, his three most famous film books - The French Through Their Films (1988), Italian Films (1989) and French Film Noir (pictured) are seminal texts for any budding film fan. Buss died suddenly in late December and will be much missed; he was one of a now almost lost breed.
Great news for independent cinemas in Scotland! Six Scottish cinemas are to receive funding to improve their facilities, including the installation of new sound systems, seating, air-conditioning and carpets, as well as improved access for wheelchairs. This funding follows cash awards of almost £750,000 given out by the UK Film Council to small, independently owned cinemas. Best of all, the GFT has been awarded £5967 worth of help.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"When will the red spot in my eye go away?"
I got clunked in the eye and now there is a red spot in the white part of my eye. It looks like blood and I think that it is blood. When will this go away? Do i have to have it treated or will it go away on its own?
What you are describing is something called a subconjunctival hemorrhage. Basically what this means is that getting 'clunked in the eye' caused a few small blood vessels located just under the white part of the eye to burst, allowing blood to escape. This looks terrible, because it shows up as bright red against the white part of the eye but, in essence, it is no different than a bruise under the skin. Most of the time a subconjunctival hemorrhage will eventually go away on its own and doesn't require any specific type of treatment. However, it would not be a bad idea to go see your primary care doctor just to make sure that everything is alright, especially if you are having any other symptoms, such as severe pain, spreading of the area of bleeding, or any visual disturbances. Sometimes, when you get hit in the eye, you may have injuries to more sensitive structures of the eye, such as scratch on the surface of the cornea. These other injuries may require treatment, unlike the 'watch and wait' approach that a simple subconjunctival hemorrhage requires. Your doctor can take a quick look and rule all of these other things out for you!

Smartworld, a leading technology service provider that enables digital economic growth across the Gulf, Middle-East and Africa, has revealed its participation as the silver sponsor at this year's edition of the Airport Show, one of the world's largest airport-focused exhibitions and vital link to the airport industry in the MENA and Indian Subcontinent region, which will be held from May 11 to May 13, 2014 at the Dubai international Convention and Exhibition Centre (DICEC).
The company's presence is part of the move to increase more awareness on its latest portfolio of state-of-the-art Digital ICT offerings-advanced airport systems, technology infrastructure, applications and security solutions. The Smartworld stand will be located at Stand No. 8210, Hall No. 8.

Recent industry reports show that investments worth over $100bn have now been made for the further development of airports and its related infrastructure in the Middle East, which reflects the bullish attitude of regional governments, specifically in the GCC, to position themselves as new global travel hubs. In fact, airport IT spending in the region has grown at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12% since 2010. Industry analysts have shared that the highest priority IT investment for airports includes improving the passenger experience; enhancing airport operations; reducing the cost of business operations and making the passenger processing experience more convenient.
"These are exciting times for the Middle East aviation industry, which has seen GCC countries working towards positioning themselves as premier travel hubs. In line with this, we are seeing an increase in IT spending for these airports–reflecting the significant role that technology plays in successfully running an airport," Hamza Achour, Marketing, Alliances & Sales Operations Manager, Smartworld. "Airports in the region today are upbeat about the entry of more growth, which is why airport technology chiefs have increased confidence that their budget, in absolute terms, will increase further or remain stable in 2014. This year's Airport Show will provide us with the ideal business and networking platform to showcase the latest innovation and technology offerings that support the Digital airport development market," he added.
Smartworld's offerings have been designed to meet the demands of mission-critical environments within the aviation industry. The company has successfully handled migration and phasing of solutions across some of today's leading airports. Smartworld airports technology services include Airport Systems Program & Project Management, Airport Systems Implementations and Support, Airport Systems Architecture and Design, and Airport Systems Master Integration.
"Middle East countries in general and Arabian Gulf states in particular are now pumping in billions of dollars in the move to build new airports or expand existing facilities to meet the demands of future air travellers and expanding fleets of airlines, especially their national carriers. Smartworld understands the urgency of these undertakings as we believe that these developments should be backed with reliable and innovative technology. Rest assured we will remain steadfast in leveraging our strategic range of state-of-the-art ICT offerings and services in strengthening the operations of airports in the region," concluded Achour.

Commentary on transportation in Connecticut and the Northeast by JIM CAMERON, for 19 years a member of the CT Rail Commuter Council. Jim is also the founder of a new advocacy effort: www.CommuterActionGroup.org Disclaimer: his comments are only his own. All contents of this blog are (c) Cameron Communications Inc
May 18, 2009
Gridlock in Hartford
Now we're about to see another example as the Transportation Strategy Board is expected to do nothing with suggestions for electronic-tolling of our congested roads to mitigate congestion and raise badly need funds.
After commissioning a $1 million, 500-page study of the issue, the TSB is expected to say that the idea of "value pricing" our interstates needs, you guessed it, yet more study!
I could tell the fix was in when, even before the consultants delivered their million dollar baby, Governor Rell said she was against tolling.
And don't expect any leadership on this issue from lawmakers, unable to write a budget let alone show the courage to face a controversial issue like tolls.
As one transportation expert says, the eight year old Transportation Strategy Board has turned into a "debating club", endlessly talking but doing nothing. Their meetings get little attention and most members attend only sporadically. How would you like try making an 8 am weekday meeting in Hartford, so scheduled that even CT-N can't cover it.
With a decimated corps of Capitol newspaper reporters, who's to cover such important discussions? And local media coverage to date has been either shallow or factually inaccurate.
The idea of bringing back tolls has been discussed for almost a decade. Yet every newspaper report about their elimination in 1983 always mentions the firey truck crash at the Stratford toll barrier that killed seven, as if toll barriers are just waiting to get hit.
Current tolling technology eliminates toll booths and their delays, but the mis-reporting continues. So much for what passes for journalism these days. Stories about "killer chimps" make the front page for days on end, while the real news goes unreported.
When the TSB received its $1 million consultant report, outlining nine different tolling options, the board scheduled public hearings across the state… except in Fairfield County. Little was done to explain what the consultants suggested, despite pleas for informational meetings.
So when 50 concerned citizens turned out last week in Norwalk for a last-minute public hearing, their opinions were mostly based on inaccurate media coverage. Few had read or even knew about the 500-page report, summarized at the hearing in a one-page handout.
It's almost as if the TSB wanted the plan to die.
I'm all for a good debate, but if you don't educate the public, should their opinions be taken seriously?
One after another, people called tolls a hidden "tax". They were so cynical that they didn't believe tolls would do anything to improve traffic (they would). Some called for higher tolls on out-of-staters (illegal). Two who spoke noted the connection between traffic and affordable housing. And one suggested investing in more cars for Metro-North, paid for by employers, their exteriors wrapped in ads for the companies.
Resulting media coverage ignored those, like me, who spoke in favor of tolling. The headlines screamed "Commuters Speak Out Against Tolls" when they should have read "TSB Gets Uninformed Opinions on Unexplained Million Dollar Study", but I guess that wouldn't sell newspapers like stories of killer chimps.
Our state is in gridlock, not just on our roads but in our government. Nobody has the vision or the courage to do anything to change our situation, preferring to hide behind endless studies and consultant reports which then get ignored.
Debating the problem for a decade has done nothing. And there's no sign that the TSB, the Governor or legislature will ever do anything about transportation except what they're done so far… talk.

I was the speaker from Greenwich who actually read the 500 page study. You are spot on about their inability to do anything and today's news, that TSB will not be recommending anything for now, proved your point. I do, however, not agree with your plea to the TSB that they "do something." I'm quite sure if they do border tolls at the NY I-95 border it will be a disaster if only 1/2 the cars they estimate pour through Port Chester and Byram. It's already a mess now. Your points about the ridiculous meeting format and public education were very good. There were what, maybe 5 people there who actually knew what they were commenting on?
I enjoy your columns in the Greenwich Post. Keep it up.

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) just announced the graduation of Apache CloudStack to a Top Level Project. In this blog post I'd like to share my thoughts on what I've learned participating in this transition and what I see for the project going forward.
In early 2012, before the move to the ASF, we were discussing options for the project's home going forward. At the time CloudStack was almost 100% Citrix by contributors and the governance model was undefined, which essentially left the decision authority with Citrix. We knew both of those characteristics limited the project's future and that they had to change. We quickly settled on the ASF as the best home. We believed the structure of the ASF separated the funding of the foundation from the influence on the project. We knew that the ASF had a clear process for project entry and incubation / maturation, and it had mentors that would step forward and help the evolving community learn to work like an Apache project. We also believed that the Apache governance model would bring many more ecosystem partners into the project, increasing the diversity and value of integrations available with CloudStack.
A year after the project entered the ASF, all the things we believed turned out to be true. Citrix became a platinum sponsor of the ASF, but that didn't give Citrix any vote on the ASF board nor did it give Citrix any special privilege on the CloudStack PMC (the project's management committee). In the past year, the variety of contributors increased dramatically, with both users and vendors stepping forward to add features they wanted or integrations with their products for specific use cases. In fact, the users of CloudStack with KVM have been so active that very little of the recent Citrix contributions to the project have been to support KVM. The project has also received a large number of contributions for storage and network / SDN integrations from vendors, with more under development. Our mentors donated their time to guide all members of the CloudStack community to work like an Apache project, with development and discussion in the open and consensus-based decision making. Thanks to all of these groups — mentors, users, and vendor-sponsored contributors — for their huge role in helping the project grow and graduate!
Along the way a few things surprised me. First, I was surprised by how many vendor partners and users engaged and how quickly they did so. Whether I looked at new committers, mailing list participants, or attendees at December's CloudStack conference, there were always about twice the number of people or vendors that I expected. Some of that is due to CloudStack's adoption with users, but a lot of is due to the genuinely open nature of Apache projects, where merit and influence are earned by contribution. I was also surprised by how much effort was required to transition from how we (Citrix) were working to the Apache way. I knew that we'd have to move the bug database, code repo, and wiki pages to ASF infrastructure, and that was about what I expected. The Apache way requires taking decisions on the mailing list so that all can engage and participate. This works well to ensure the project is inclusive, but it does take more effort than taking decisions around the water cooler. And, of course, we had to police ourselves to make sure we were working in the Apache way. On that note, I'd like to offer a big "thank you" to the initial committers, who did a great job of making the transition, and to the community and mentors for graciously pointing out when they didn't. We also had to make development (with DevCloud) and testing (with Maven + Marvin) simpler than it had been so people that don't have experienced CloudStack developers near them can be successful. If you're thinking about moving a project to the ASF, I would wholeheartedly recommend it to help grow the developer community and to get a proven governance model. Just set your expectations that the workstyle changes may be bigger than you expect.
I expect CloudStack will gain contributors and committers at an even faster rate now that it has graduated. There is a degree of permanence associated with Top Level Projects in the ASF that projects in Incubation do not have. At OSCON a few people told me they were reluctant to engage on projects in Incubation because they didn't know if those projects would graduate and persist or if they would stall out and fade away. That's an unfortunate perception, and could be self-fulfilling at its extreme, but I don't think it will stop a project with really motivated people behind it (like CloudStack!). The Citrix commitment to CloudStack has never wavered, but I do feel that it's now clearer that CloudStack is here for the long term. With graduation the community received an endorsement from the ASF that the community has proven that it can self-govern in accordance with the behaviors that define the Apache way. In that sense we do not need to do more in the future, but the community has to keep governing itself at least as well as it has been. I'm sure it can, and I'm looking forward to seeing that and helping it grow over the coming years.

Two Layer Tools
This tip covers two commands: LAYERP and LAYMCUR. Both of these commands deal with layers, and can be found on the Layers toolbar. Perversely, they are described in reverse order below:
The second of these two tools is Layer Previous (LAYERP), and it is surprisingly little known. Layer previous allows you to step back through previous layer states. It's similar in function to Zoom previous which steps back through previous view states.
- Use Layer Freeze (LAYFRZ) to tag several entities whose layers you want to freeze (to "unclutter" your screen). Change, add, or delete entities on the remaining visible layers. Then use Layer previous to restore the layer state to how it was before you began making your changes. You don't have to invoke the Layer Properties dialog, scan through the list of layers, and (hopefully) thaw all the layers you froze earlier.
- Use the Layer dialog to set the color of all layers, except the current layer, to gray. This makes entities on your current layer stand out against all other entities. Make any edits you wish. Then use Layer previous to restore the previous color settings to all layers.
Layer previous restores previous layer colors, linetypes, visibility, etc. LAYERP does not undo deleted layers, new layers, or renamed layers.
The first of the two tools is LAYMCUR. This tool makes the selected entity's layer the current layer.

Wow, it feels like forever since I've held knitting needles, and I love every moment of it. Knitting was the first craft I learned. I was obsessed with knitting at age 8 or so when I first learned. Recently, I've had to take a break because of pain in my wrist. So, I just have to be careful not to knit too long or too frequently. Anyways, this is my Tinder Cardigan, a project I just started. It's a cozy warm cardigan for autumn.
I love cardigans. My Nettle Cardigan has been getting a LOT of use, so I figured I need another one. This time, I found this lovely pattern by Jared Flood. It has an allover waffle stitch which I really like. The sleeves are in reverse stockinette stitch which I don't like because it looks inside out. Yeah I know I'm crazy but I'm going to do them regular stockinette stitch because that's how I like it. This cardigan is knit in separate pieces for fronts, back and sleeves then sewn together. Should be fun as I usually do sweaters in the round. Apparently seams add a bit more durability and structure. In other words less stretching out of shape. We'll see!
The yarn I'm using is Brigg's and Little Regal yarn in light brown which I bought from Ram Wools. I've actually used this yarn for several other projects in the past. I really like working with it. It's fluffy and durable, and I like the heathered look of the colours.
I was happy to bring out the yarn swift. I've always enjoyed this part. It's also a good way to inspect every inch of that skein and make sure there are no breaks or knots in there. Yeah, actually it's just fun making things spin fast. I'm easily amused.
Here's the pattern. I really like the fit. It's a slight A-line. More fitted on the upper chest with a bit of ease in the waist and the hip area. It would be perfect for layering.
I also love the high ribbed collar which makes it jacket-like. I'm going to take my time with this so as to avoid a repetitive stress injury, but I'll do a post when it's done!
Happy Knitting!

Former model Dean Kelly, who was accused of raping two teenage girls in 2005, pleaded guilty to lesser charges on Monday in a deal that guaranteed his immediate release from jail.
Kelly, best for his cameo in the 1994 Aerosmith video "Crazy", was initially charged with two counts of forcible rape, felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile, possession of child pornography and second-degree kidnapping after two girls, one 14 and one 17, reported being raped months apart.
In Orleans Parish Criminal District Court Judge Tracey Flemings-Davillier's courtroom on Monday afternoon, Kelly instead pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual battery and one count of felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile.
In return, Kelly received a 10-year suspended sentence, with credit for the 22 months he has already served, and five years of probation.
As part of the sentence, Kelly also is required to register as a sex offender for the next 10 years and is prohibited from having any contact with either of the two women or with any members of their families.
He is also not allowed to use any social media under any type of aliases.
The younger victim, who wasn't able to attend court Monday, prepared a statement that said "no other girls have to suffer the way that I did." The victim's attorney, Lindsey Ladouceur, read the statement in court.
Calling Kelly's actions "sick and selfish," the woman recalled the day in February 2005 when she was just 14 and he was 33 years old. She said he lured her to a St. Charles Avenue home after approaching her after a dance class, telling her he was a popular actor and agent who could help her with her career.
"You manipulated me and raped me. ...It was not consensual," the statement read. She was a virgin, she wrote, and the attack "directly derailed the rest of my sexual development." She added that she "couldn't drive down St. Charles Avenue without experiencing paralyzing pain."
"I know now that your actions are not a reflection of who I am but that this is what you do," she said.
Ladouceur said after the hearing that there were several other women with similar claims that never came forward.
Family members of both victims were present in court but declined to comment.
After being arrested in February 2005, police also booked Kelly on a charge of child pornography stemming from a computer search that prosecutors say turned up a sex video showing a girl who appeared to be nine or 10 years old.
That charge, as well as the kidnapping charge, was dropped as part of the deal. Kelly's attorneys, Jason Williams and Nandi Campbell, said there was nothing on the computer that tied Kelly or his family members to the illicit material.
The defense attorneys said their client maintains his innocence, and they said there were several problems with the allegations that both women made. Had they gone to trial, the attorneys said, the evidence would have contradicted the two women, one of whom initiated contact with Kelly through social media and text messaging several times afterwards.
The judge agreed to the deal but admonished Kelly, warning that if he violates the conditions of his sentencing he would be immediately subject to revocation and put back in jail.
"I will be watching you," Flemings-Davillier said.
"It concerns me--your behavior, your conduct and your decision making," she added.
Kelly was repeatedly bonded out of jail by his parents, but continuously ordered back after authorities caught him violating the conditions of his release.
Kelly has been in jail awaiting trial since July 31, when he was held without bond after arranging to meet a woman through Craigslist, in violation of the terms of his release.

Problems with ASSM and bitmap indexes. Version: 22.214.171.124
February 2003
Everyone knows - or should know - that single row DML can have a serious impact on the size and efficiency of bitmap indexes. This is on top of the standard problem of lock collisions that occur when multiple concurrent processes update the indexex columns of apparently unrelated rows. (See article on dbazine for more details)
However, if you do happen to have some code which does this, beware of a bug in the handling of tablespaces that use Automatic Segment Space Management - a feature of Oracle 9i that replaces freelists and freelist groups with multiple bitmap blocks per segment to indicate to processes which data block to use when inserting data.
Under automatic segment space management (a.k.a ASS management), Oracle keeps a map for each extent in a segment showing how much space (to a fairly coarse granularity) is available is in each block in that segment. When a process needs to insert a new row, Oracle uses the process ID to determine which block in a map the process should use. Because the new algorithm allows for multiple insertion blocks (rather than just the one block at the top of each freelist) this introduces an easy way to reduce the contention on highly concurrent inserts. However, there are a few implementation details which may introduce side-effects that should be considered.
One implementation detail is that instead of the old 'raise the high water mark' your process may format a 16-block chunk of the current extent - which need not be the next unused 16 blocks. Oracle is supposed to keep track of the formatted and unformatted space in an extent to ensure that new extents are not allocated unless it is necessary - which should mean that, typically, all such space is formatted before a new extent is allocated.
Unfortunately, there seem to be some holes in the mapping mechanism, or some other part of the allocation algorithm, that allow Oracle to allocate new extents even when there is plenty of free space in existing extents. In 9.2 this shows up (only, I believe) under an extreme abuse of bitmap indexes as shown in the code below.
rem Script: bust_bits.sql

April 10, 2017 by Susan LaMotte, CEO, exaqueo - the premier employer brand experience firm
Opinions matter. We seek advice on the best doctors, cars, restaurants and books. If it's sold anywhere, we want opinions from our networks and even strangers. It's no surprise that workplace reviews have caught on just as fast. One survey by HR software advisory firm Software Advice found that half of all job seekers consult reviews on one popular site in their searches.
And review sites range from global to local. From Glassdoor and InHerSight to Indeed and Love Mondays, savvy job seekers have numerous resources globally to gain intel. It's easy to laud or fear the reviews. If they're great, we quote and promote. If they're negative, we may respond externally and discuss internally.
In a rush to address a flurry of concern about the impact of review sites on employer brand, companies are making three major strategic missteps.
Here's Where You Go Wrong
Amping Up Good Reviews
Some companies happen upon review sites shocked by the sheer number of negative reviews. In a rush to combat them, they encourage selected employees to post glowingly, positive reviews. This never works—from the time stamp of the new reviews posted to the exceptional positivity, candidates can read right through them. It makes it worse.
Ignoring Reviews Altogether
On the flip side, there are HR leaders who shrug off reviews with a "well, there are always going to be some unhappy people" mentality. By doing this, companies lose a huge opportunity to learn from the reviews. You don't want to sound alarm bells at every negative sentiment, but you can look for patterns and themes as a trigger to address larger issues. If government agencies like the TSA and IRS can better their processes from reviews, so can corporate human resources
Putting All Resources into Responding
Some companies try to respond to every negative comment or review. This doesn't work either. Consumer brands have found success doing this on social media. But their agency and support resources are vast—well beyond what HR typically has. Additionally, when HR tries to do it, often the responses are cookie cutter, pre-approved responses that PR and HR leaders have edited and approved.
There's no authenticity to them. Instead you can respond to the most important or concerning ones if there's an option to do so. Another option is to post an update in a public forum (social channel or careers site) showcasing what you've learned and what you've fixed on a regular basis.
Here's Where You Can Go Right
First, make reviews a part of your employer brand strategy. You need to know they are there and review them as a data input--just like you would other inputs (engagement and satisfaction surveys, social media feedback, candidate experience feedback etc.)
Second, determine where the reviews fall in your strategy. You can work directly with the platforms, but that can be expensive. Investigate to determine how impactful that will actually be to your brand. exaqueo's research varies from company to company: but on average, most job seekers we interview and assess tell us directly that review sites aren't where they start their search, and they don't end it there either. The sites are sources of influence among many others.
Our take is that there is no single source of hire—no single tipping point for job seekers. Review sites are just another point of influence in the job/career decision-making process. How much do review sites really matter? That's where you have to do your own research to find out. Don't just assume they matter to your hires and candidates. Look inward and ask new hires for a reliable perspective before jumping to action.

Roy is a city in Pierce County, Washington, United States. Roy was officially incorporated on January 16, 1908. It is a rural city outside Tacoma and primarily features ranch-style homes and farms. Roy was one of the early communities in the area, a prosperous boom-town and a major stop on the railroad line. But 3 major blows reduced this once-thriving town to its current form. A major fire in 1929 wiped out most of the downtown businesses just before the Depression started. The railroad eventually discontinued using Roy as a main stop. The Army annexed most of the surrounding land to the north and west, limiting expansion and the local tax base, and erasing the nearby community of Loveland. Major features and/or attractions in Roy and the vicinity include the Roy Pioneer Rodeo, attracting participants and spectators from several states and Canada; Roy Elementary School, and many community organizations like 4H, Grange Hall, Scouts, etc.
The median income for a household in the city was $32,727, and the median income for a family was $34,643. Males had a median income of $31,964 versus $21,477 for females. The per capita income for the city was $14,527. About 6.8% of families and 10.8% of the population were below the poverty line, including 12.1% of those under the age of eighteen and none of those sixty five or over.

The work, which appeared in the April 18 issue of Science, suggests that optical stimulation is the dominant process at early times.Superradiance describes the collective emission of radiation from a macroscopic ensemble of atoms, such as a Bose-Einstein condensate. At short times, the researchers observed a previously unknown process, self-stimulated Kapitza-Dirac diffraction, which, they note, enables them to connect self-stimulated Bragg diffraction and matter-wave amplification, effects observed at longer time scales.

Head of the Charles Regatta This Weekend
Since 1965, the Head of the Charles Regatta has been bringing rowers from around the world to Boston to watch this spectacle of athletes perform an amazing physical test of endurance, strength and stamina. This time honored tradition has become a focal point of the city in the fall and you can catch it along the banks of the Charles River this weekend. There are many activities to see and do as the race goes on. We've got the Eliot Bridge Enclosure, which will offers great views, but will require a ticket. The Weld Exhibition is located around the halfway mark and is one of the best spots to relax, watch the show and get some free swag from sponsors who will have tents set up around the area. Reunion Village will be going on for the 13th year and will also require tickets, but it offers beer and services to spectators, great seating and views and is the place for alumni groups to meet and have reunions. The awards ceremony will take place at Attager Row at 3:30 PM on Saturday and 3PM on Sunday.
See you there!

Next time, when you are in Beijing, try this Restaurant:
Guolizhang Restaurant
If any of you are planning to visit Beijung in the near future and would like to try their delicacies, here are some of the introductions... (enjoy your foods...!!)
There are four franchises in the city alone, and the chain is expanding: there's one in Atlanta, Georgia, in Chinatown.
The Guolizhuang menu is a broad introduction to the medicinal benefits of eating animal penises and testicles..
Ox penises help manliness. They're cut along the side and shaped into little stars.
The yak penis is served with a dragon. In the Guolizhuang restaurant there are more than 30 different animal penises on the menu. And for very special guests there's a list of others.
'Henry's whip' is the house speciality at Beijing's Guolizhuang restaurant. It's a sheep's penis on a stick covered in mayonnaise, sweet cheese, served on a bed of lettuce.
A platter of ox and dog penises. The consistency and taste remind one of overly bitter rings of calamari, apparently.
The penises are often dipped in soy or hot sauce. For women, eating penises is supposed to be good for the skin.
Donkey penis served on a bed of lettuce: For Chinese guests, eating the sexual organs is not a test of courage, but rather a treatment for the libido.
'The Chinese eat everything with four legs, except tables -- and everything that flies except airplanes,' goes a Chinese saying.
At the Guolizhuang restaurant, customers can even order deer and sheep fetuses.

Business Council of Westchester President and CEO Marsha Gordon posed a simple question last week to business leaders throughout the county.
"Who will step outside the box and lead the way?" Gordon asked when introducing the winners of this year's Westchester Green Business Challenge awards at the organization's second annual recognition event held at the Edith Macy Conference Center in Briarcliff Manor.
Representatives from 200 Westchester businesses were on hand for the May 31 ceremony, which recognized companies that used a multitude of innovative ways to save energy and help the environment. Founded two years ago as a private-public partnership between the county and the business council, the Westchester Green Business Challenge is a friendly competition designed to help all Westchester companies move toward environmental sustainability while saving money.
The leading example of green innovation is C.W. Brown, Inc. of Armonk, which was presented the Charles W. Brown Sustainability Award in honor of its founder, who passed away last year. The general contracting company had the first LEED platinum-certified building in Westchester, and its commercial buildings obtain 90 percent of their energy from solar panels.
"The whole goal was to set out and educate people," said Tom Mannion, who worked side by side with Brown to increase the business's sustainability. He said they were motivated to dispel myths about energy efficiency, such as it being too costly to implement or taking too much time to change.
Following C.W. Brown's cue, companies throughout Westchester have sought greater energy efficiency and green practices. Robert Kalmer, the corporate services and facilities manager of the Blue Book Building and Construction Network in Jefferson Valley, described the process of converting the company's corporate buildings to LED lighting as "long, but not terrible." He said the change produced positive results and savings for the company, including extending the practice into a new parking lot, which has LED lights with motion sensors that turn on only when the parking lot is not use.
Dragonfly Hair Studios, located in Croton-on-Hudson, earned its award for Waste Management and Green Products by incorporating original organic methods. Those methods range from using all organic hair products without toxins, e-mailing receipts, serving coffee in ceramic mugs and encouraging customers to donate half-used shampoo bottles to the Battered Women's Foundation.
"Anything we use in our personal lives (to go green), we bring to work," said Faith Jones, a Dragonfly representative.
She explained that the employees learn waste management practices mostly by brainstorming with each other.
Another leader and award winner was the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville, which was the winner in the Energy category. Burns Managing Director Dominick Balletta said the film center was one of the first participants in the Green Challenge. It was founder and Executive Director Stephen Apkon's goal to be environmentally conscious, so the center's Media Arts Lab was completed with entirely green construction, including a roof that provides the building with energy from a geothermal system. Similar to C.W. Brown, one of the goals at the lab is to combine sustainability and public environmental education.
There was also the hope that the creativity generated by the competition would inspire others to try more environmentally conscious practices.
"There are 35,000 businesses in Westchester. Imagine the impact we would have if everyone took the challenge," Gordon said.
