Four Best Practices for Agile API Load Testing
By PJ Stevens
One important organizational point of Agile API delivery is the concept of a team producing a usable version - which should result in the improved alignment of development, QA, and technical operations teams. Perhaps an even larger benefit of Agile is that it allows teams to effectively manage change in both external and software functionality, while simultaneously accelerating the development of quality software. Part of the challenge with managing this change, however, is providing quick feedback on when the change in software happens, and its resulting impact.
You may be familiar with the mantra, "test early and often." It's an approach that is closely aligned with the waterfall methodology. In waterfall terminology, "early" means "before the software is transitioned to QA."
This mantra is largely inaccurate when it comes to API performance testing in Agile. Instead, with Agile, you test all the time. This means designating a resource who will be responsible for the testing, and tightly involving all stakeholders - including those on the business side. Typically, functional testers define functional tests to match the sprint functionality. If you're doing functional testing, there's a great opportunity to introduce performance testing scenarios too.
Here are four handy suggestions for Agile load testing to help you get started.
#1 - Test Your API Incrementally
Incremental API testing starts at the lowest functional levels. First test a small function, and then build from there. If all the individual components function and perform correctly, chances are they will work well together and this knowledge will help you analyze and debug performance bottlenecks when you test at the system level later on.
Look at performance testing in Agile as testing of different performance layers that can be approached in an onion-like fashion in the rhythm of your sprints. To achieve flexibility, you also need to plan your performance testing efforts and break a bigger challenge into smaller tasks. As a comparison, it is difficult and expensive to solve a 12 man-year problem at once, but one can solve 12 one man-year problems in sequence. The same approach can be applied to signing off the performance of an application.
#2 - Establish Performance Goals
Create API performance tests to work alongside your functional tests, while also incorporating the performance test into your build process. Start by establishing performance goals when writing user stories.
For example, let's say you're creating an API for an online store. You want a user to be able to add an item in their cart, and you also want to verify that this request takes no more than half a second to process.
Creating your performance test alongside your functional test allows you to continually measure the performance of your API.
#3 - Reuse Functional Tests
Always check to see if you can reuse existing or future API functional tests as performance tests. It may be possible to incorporate timers into an automated test to give you a feel for how the application is responding. You can review your functional tests with a designated performance expert and make the decision, or you can utilize tools like SoapUI NG Pro (API functional testing) and LoadUI NG Pro (API load testing), which allow you to efficiently reuse tests in the same software platform.
Reusing functional tests whenever possible is one of the key anchor points for Agile performance testing, driving the development of work scenarios for later use as the workload of more in-depth load tests.
#4 - Include API Performance Tests in the Build Process
Finally, you should include your load tests in the build process so that each build goes through some level of performance testing. By doing this, it's going to be easier to determine what caused the slowdown in your application's performance. Also, if you need to roll back to an earlier build, you know how well that particular build performs because you've already tested it.

(Side note - You might be wondering why I still don't have light switch covers. Since I have blank spaces, I have to get special covers. They aren't easy to find.)
Back to the decorations...
this photo that I saw on Pinterest. I wrapped the tissue paper around some dowels I had leftover from a previous project and finished it off with washi tape.
This was another simple little DIY project.
During one of my evening walks with Charlie, I collected a few fallen branches. Between trick-or-treaters, I painted the branches white. Spray paint would have been much faster, but I didn't have any, so I just brushed it on. It would look better with more branches, but I ran out of paint.
There are a lot of tutorials on pinterest for the tassels - the one I found said to use a hot glue gun to secure the twist at the top. I'm not a big fan of glue guns, so I used washi tape instead.
Add this to the "wonderfully simple and cheap project" list. It's been the theme of my projects lately. I try to use what I have on hand and not spend a lot of extra money. Not gonna lie, it's not easy - it's always fun to buy new supplies, even though it's not always frugal.
For all the decorations at the party (cups, favors, tassels, flowers, placemats, branches), I only purchased a pack of tissue paper and the paper for the favor boxes. All totaled, I spent about $13. Most of that goes to the large pack of tissue paper I bought. There's a ton of that leftover, so I would guess I spent around $7.
Decorating for this party was really fun. I need to schedule another one! Plus, it's also

It is Day 6 and the second to last day of the New Product Blog Hop. I own every background stamp and this NEW Season of Thanks one, is no exception.
I stamped with Champagne ink on coordinating cardstock and matted with Chocolate cardstock. The patterned piece is from the lovely Fall- like paper, NEW Pathfinding. I stamped this sweet tree, from NEW set, Keep Your Chin up, with second generation Autumn Terracotta ink. The sentiment is stamped with Barn Red ink. I tied it all up with some retired Chocolate grosgrain ribbon.
All supplies are Close To My Heart.

Last month, an employee of NFL Network publicly identified the person who was believed to have blown the whistle on the Saints' bounty system. Now, an employee of a TV station owned by Saints owner Tom Benson publicly has identified the person believed to be the source of ESPN's report that Saints G.M. Mickey Loomis had the ability to eavesdrop on opposing coaches from 2002 through 2004.
We won't mention the name of the suspected source of ESPN's report here, because folks who come forward with potentially illegal activity deserve protection unless/until they come forward or they are proven to be lying. But we will mention that, according to the report from FOX 8, John Barr of ESPN sought out the suspected source, who had been fired by the Saints in 2007.
If the FOX 8 report is accurate, a curious twist to this story becomes whether and to what extent Barr encouraged the source to make a report of the activity to the federal authorities. The fact that the information was provided to prosecutors gives a layer of credibility to what otherwise would have been a report from ESPN based on allegations of wrongdoing that never had been reported to the appropriate law enforcement officials.

Hello there. You look lovely. I'm Hannah and I'm an SEO Consultant for Distilled. I'm British which means I spell things strangely sometimes, we like to make things more complicated than they really need to be here. This is my first post for SEOmoz, I hope you find it useful.
- It enables the search engines to index all of pages on the site
- It provides suitable landing pages for all of the keywords (or search phrases) that you might wish to rank for
- If the search engines can't index your content you will not rank.
- If you don't have a page for each keyword (or at least each sub-set of keywords – you can of course target more than one keyword per page), again you'll struggle to rank.
- A lack of rankings means a lack of traffic. A lack of traffic will likely mean a lack of revenue.
- A sitemap will not fix this.
1. How many facets do you need in order to get everything indexed?
- Womens
- T Shirt Type
- Designer
2. Facets versus filters
3. Do you have pages to enable you to rank for all of the keywords that are important to you?
4. Pagination
5. Sorting
6. Duplicate Content
- Use as many facets as you need to ensure that your deepest faceted pages contain 100 products or fewer AND to ensure you have all the pages you need to target the keywords you want to rank for.
- Pagination and sorting options can cause duplicate content – use Ajax / JavaScript to avoid this.
- No matter which route a user takes to reach a particular page there can be only one (think Highlander) indexable URL
- Remember to create unique content for each page – the more important the page, the more awesome the content

Guest post by author Judith Marshall
Top Ten things to remember when writing fiction
She is currently working on her second novel, Staying Afloat, the story of a devoted stay-at-home wife and mother who morphs into a sex-starved adulteress. She lives in Northern California with her husband. For more information, go to http://www.judithmarshall.net/
Top Ten things to remember when writing fiction
- Always begin with your protagonist – readers need to know who to root for
- Start with action – lock in your readers upfront
- Be visual in your approach – let readers "see" your story (this helped get my novel optioned for the big screen!)
- Limit your descriptive words – make each one count
- Don't forget the senses – smell, touch, sight, etc.
- Write only scenes that either enrich character, provide necessary information, or move the plot forward; or better yet, do all three
- Rely on dialogue - readers rarely skip dialogue
- Have your character do something while thinking – driving a car, washing dishes, combing a child's hair
- Use similes for style
- When in doubt, leave it out!
Husbands May Come and Go but Friends are Forever, a first novel by Judith Marshall, is a winner of the Jack London Prize awarded by the California Writers Club and recently optioned for the big screen.
Set in a small town in Northern California, in the spring of 2000 when the dot-com boom was at its peak, the story centers around Elizabeth Reilly-Hayden, a successful executive in her late fifties and a divorced mother of two. Emotionally armored and living alone, she wants only to maintain the status quo: her long-term significant other, her job and her trusted friends— five feisty women who first met in high school. Yet in a matter of days, the three anchors that have kept her moored are ripped away. The group of lifelong pals gathers at Lake Tahoe to attend to the funeral arrangements of their beloved friend, and tries to unravel the mystery of her death. Through their shared tragedy, Liz learns how disappointment and grief can bloom into healing and hope.___

Trevor's Treasure Trove
The internet is full of amazing treasures. My friends and I used to share these treasures with each other with this awesome application called Google Reader. It was kind of like a "Blog of Blogs". A little site that would host everything non Kraken Studios related that I found to be amazing. I even had a secret link at the bottom of this blog so strangers could get in on all the awesome treasure I came across.
Unfortunately Google removed the sharing feature from Reader. Hopefully They'll bring it back some day. But for now, to fill the gap, I started a Tumblr page called Trevor's Treasure Trove. It's not as convenient or awesome as sharing through Google Reader was, but I really want my friends (and you!) to see all this fun I keep finding online.
So if you like video games, kaiju, old comics, toys and other really important adult stuff, check out my tumbles.

Activision Blizzard has been having a good fiscal year, apparently. With factors like the merger of Activision and Vivendi and all the different incarnations of Guitar Hero selling like hotcakes, the company has issued a press release this morning announcing a two-for-one stock split.
The split will work like this: current stockholders will receive one additional share for each share they already own. It's that simple. Other details, like the actual record date of the split, have yet to be announced but will be released once the company completes the tender offer.
Both Activision and Vivendi has sizable game catalogs under their belts, but combining the two has created a huge list of powerhouse franchises—including Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Diablo, WarCraft, and StarCraft—under the control of one publisher. "This action reflects our strong financial position and our confidence in the opportunities for further growth," said Robert Kotick, president and CEO of Activision Blizzard in this morning's release. "We believe the stock split will lead to wider ownership by making our stock accessible to a broader base of investors."

Hey guys,
Thought I'd pop in and share a Carrie *Moment* I had while she was here on her Australian Tour with Keith Urban. I've had a few Carrie moments but I think this one stands out just a little more! In Adelaide I had a Meet and Greet and thought I'd take the opportunity to share my special news with her and asked if she wouldn't mind holding a sign for me in our picture! The sign saying "Melanie IS PREGNANT"! She was such a sweety and said "of course". Her crew wanted to film it but I wasn't ready to share it with the world just yet.
Anyway...here ya go! https://twitter.com/MissMelanie_T/st...64482964406272

Calling Blighty: Sheffield Showroom, 26th March 2:30 pm
A selection of footage from the Calling Blighty series of films, showing servicemen from South Yorkshire and York, will be shown at a special screening at the Showroom Cinema in Sheffield on Sunday 26th March.
These rare and unseen films show the men sending filmed messages home from India and Burma at the end of WW2. The films were screened at local cinemas in 1944-5 to wives, mothers and sweethearts back home as a way of increasing morale; a sort of one way Skype of their day, they are remarkable and moving documents.
In collaboration with the North West Film Archive, YFA was able to preserve these film which include the messages of 150 Sheffield soldiers and 40 York soldiers.
Professor Steve Hawley of Manchester Met University has traced some of the families of the men in the films and they have been invited to this unique screening, to meet other families of men of the "Forgotten Army", fighting far from home where leave was impossible and conditions were harsh.
This recreated screening, and specially made film of the Calling Blighty messages, will echo those from over 70 years ago, where the audience will mix tears with laughter seeing their men speak of their love for their families and thoughts of local landmarks.
Tickets are available from the Showroom website.

Gotham Chamber Opera has flourished in recent years and the Board eagerly anticipates the next set of plans and dreams to be developed by this pair."
"I am thrilled to have been selected as the new executive director of Gotham and look forward to working with Neal Goren, David Rubeo, the board and entire team to build on the outstanding work done by David Bennett," said Mr. Barnes.

Gotham Chamber Opera's 15th Anniversary Season, will begin in the fall of 2015 with a 15th Anniversary Celebration Concert (date and venue tba). The season continues in February 2016 with Alessandro Stradella's 1675 San Giovanni Battista (Saint John the Baptist) in a co-production with the Netherlands Nationale ReisOpera, and a concert at (le) poisson rouge, 158 Bleecker Street, NYC, featuring a new work by David Hertzberg, winner of the Catherine Doctorow Prize for Music. The season concludes with the New York premiere of Charlie Parker's Yardbird, a co-production of the Apollo Theater, Gotham Chamber Opera and Opera Philadelphia, at the world famous Apollo Theater in May/June 2016.
15th Anniversary Celebration Concert
Over the course of its history, Gotham Chamber Opera has served as a launching pad for the careers of many singers who have gone on to international careers. The company's 2015-2016 season will begin with a 15th Anniversary Celebration Concert featuring artists from Gotham Chamber Opera's past productions, performing selections from the company's history, and featuring a chamber orchestra, all under the direction of Founding Artistic Director Neal Goren.
San Giovanni Battista (Saint John the Baptist)
Music by Alessandro Stradella, Libretto by Ansaldo Ansaldi
Neal Goren, Conductor; Timothy Nelson, Stage Director
With sopranos Maeve Höglund and Harolyn Blackwell, countertenor Timothy Mead, tenor Peter Tantsits, and bass Joseph Beutel
A co-production with the Netherlands Nationale ReisOpera
February 2016
For its second production, the company presents a rare staging of Alessandro Stradella's 1675 San Giovanni Battista (Saint John the Baptist), in a co-production with the Netherlands Nationale ReisOpera. This dramatic retelling of the famous biblical story of Princess Salome's jealousy and depraved love for the Jewish prophet is the composer's best-known work. Stradella is the missing operatic link between Monteverdi and Handel, who owned a copy of the manuscript. The role of Salome was a vehicle of the young Maria Callas. The piece will be directed by the young stage director Timothy Nelson, whom critics have lauded as "the future of opera." It will be conducted by Gotham's founding Artistic Director Neal Goren leading a baroque orchestra. Vivaldi's famous cantata Nisi Dominus will be interpolated for English countertenor Timothy Mead, who will be singing the title role. San Giovanni Battista was last heard in New York in 1986 in a concert presentation. Gotham Chamber Opera's production will be its U.S. stage premiere.
Catherine Doctorow Prize Concert: Music of David Hertzberg

Charlie Parker's Yardbird, starring tenor Lawrence Brownlee and soprano Angela Brown, a co-production of the Apollo Theater, Gotham Chamber Opera, and Opera Philadelphia, will have its New York premiere at the world famous Apollo Theater in May, 2016 as part of the second NY PHIL BIENNIAL, the New York Philharmonic's comprehensive exploration and celebration of the music of our time. Set in the famed NYC jazz club Birdland, this new opera, by composer Daniel Schnyder and librettist Bridgette A. Wimberly, follows the inspirations, demons, and women who fueled the legendary jazz saxophonist and father of bebop, Charlie Parker.
Gotham Chamber Opera will also present Charlie Parker in New York, a series of public events for adults and children that will provide New Yorkers with deeper engagement with the life and work of jazz legend Charlie Parker. Activities will include a symposium at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture; a lecture at the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation; a walking tour of sites associated with Parker's life, including his historic home; and a concert at a New York City jazz venue that will include excerpts from the opera and compositions by Parker.
Gotham Chamber Opera is the nation's leading opera company dedicated to vibrant, fully staged productions of works intended for intimate venues. Its high quality presentations of small-scale rarities from the Baroque era to the present have earned Gotham an international reputation and unanimous critical praise.
Founded by conductor and Artistic Director Neal Goren, Gotham debuted in 2001 with the American premiere of W.A. Mozart's Il sogno di Scipione. In subsequent seasons, the company has produced many more local and world premieres, including Bohuslav Martinů's Les Larmes du Couteau and Hlas Lesa (U.S. premiere 2002); Heinrich Sutermeister's Die schwarze Spinne (U.S. premiere 2004); G.F. Handel's Arianna in Creta (U.S. stage premiere 2005); Ottorino Respighi's La bella dormente nel bosco (U.S. premiere 2005); Ariadne Unhinged, with music by Claudio Monteverdi, Joseph Haydn, and Arnold Schoenberg (World premiere 2008); Hadyn's L'isola disabitata (New York stage premiere 2009); Xavier Montsalvatge's El Gato con Botas (U.S. stage premiere 2010); Nico Muhly's Dark Sisters (World premiere 2011); Lembit Beecher's I Have No Stories To Tell You (World premiere 2014); and Toshio Hosokawa's The Raven (U.S. premiere 2014), as part of the inaugural NY PHIL BIENNIAL.
Gotham has partnered with notable New York and national institutions, including Lincoln Center Festival and Spoleto USA (La bella dormente nel bosco) in 2005; the Morgan Library and Museum for Scenes of Gypsy Life (an evening of song cycles by Janáček and Dvořák) in 2008; the American Museum of Natural History and the American Repertory Theater for Hadyn's Il mondo della luna (2010); Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Broad Stage, Los Angeles for Daniel Catán's La hija de Rappaccini (Rappaccini's Daughter, 2013); Trinity Church Wall Street for Marc-Antoine Charpentier's La descente d'Orpheé aux enfers (2013); The Metropolitan Museum of Art for Monteverdi's Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda and Beecher's I Have No Stories To Tell You (2014); and the New York Philharmonic for Hosokawa's The Raven (2014).
Gotham has earned a reputation for showcasing outstanding young singers alongside established directors and choreographers such as Mark Morris (the 2009 production of Hadyn's L'isola disabitata), David Parsons (the New York stage premiere of Astor Piazzola's tango opera, María di Buenos Aires), Karole Armitage (the world premiere of Ariadne Unhinged), Basil Twist (La bella dormente nel bosco), Robin Guarino (Gioachino Rossini's Il signor Bruschino and Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda/I Have No Stories to Tell You), Christopher Alden (Il sogno di Scipione and Arianna in Creta), Diane Paulus (Il mondo della luna), Moisés Kaufmann (El gato con botas), and Rebecca Taichman (Dark Sisters and La hija de Rappaccini.)
In recent years, Gotham Chamber Opera has been recognized as a pioneer in creating opera productions in alternative venues, beginning in 2010 with its production of Haydn's Il mondo della luna at the Hayden Planetarium, followed in 2013 with the U.S. professional stage premiere of Francesco Cavalli's Eliogabalo at New York's notorious late night club The Box, Catán's La hija de Rappaccini on the Cherry Esplanade of Brooklyn Botanic Garden and at the Greystone Manor in Beverly Hills, and the double-bill of Monteverdi's Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Bloomberg Arms and Armor Gallery and Beecher's I Have No Stories to Tell You in the Medieval Court. The company's 2014/2015 season included Alexandre bis & Comedy on the Bridge, both by Bohuslav Martinů, a revival of the acclaimed El gato con botas at El Museo del Barrio, and the U.S. and World Stage Premieres of The Tempest Songbook, co-produced with the Martha Graham Dance Company.

Creating X-Plorer assets is always fun because each asset has the theme of the X-Plorer show Jacobi is on. Each asset should look like it was placed there to advertise a product. This particular cereal box was made for Jacobi's "victuals" box, which is packed with essential food items, designed to create many different meals with nothing but a pan, a pot, water and heat. One of the first assets we created was the "Wild Crunch" cereal, which plays an important part in a certain puzzle in the game. I made the box art look like it was based off the tv show, and I even put the promise of a prize on the back.
Well, thanks for reading the first of many behind the scenes posts about asset creation in X-Plorer!

Q&A: Weekend Student Adventures
What kind of tours do Weekend Student Adventures (WSA) specialize in?
WSA specializes in tours designed for international students and young budget backpackers in Europe. Students studying abroad in Europe use their free time on weekends to travel throughout the continent, so we designed a tour company specifically (but not exclusively) for them as a safe, convenient, and cost effective way to do so. We provide guided weekend tours to top European destinations such as Budapest, Prague, Krakow, Berlin, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Edinburgh, and Amsterdam! We also provide fall, spring, and summer break tours that last between 7-10 days, along with our festival trips like Easter in Rome, or St. Paddy's day in Dublin. Our trips are designed from the ground up to appeal to millennial travellers, and this is made evident through the types of guides, activities, and accommodation options we provide to our travellers.
What kind of training do WSA guides have?
We handpick our tour guides specifically to connect with millennial budget backpackers and students. Each of our guides are professionally licensed with a great amount of guiding experience and credibility under their belt. We make sure to choose real local guides who live in the places that we travel to, so that they can provide our travellers with a more authentic experience. Each of our guides have a unique characteristic that makes them special. For example, our Rome guide is an art historian, our Paris guide owns his own featured touring company and our Amsterdam guide owns his own comedy club.
What are some of the reasons why someone would want to book a tour with WSA?
Someone who books a WSA tour is guaranteed to receive an enriching cultural experience, rather than just your typical sightseeing trip. We hand-pick REAL local guides who actually live in our destinations. This ensures that all of our tour attendees will be learning from someone who truly knows all of the hidden spots that most tourists wouldn't otherwise know about. The entire structure of our tour, from the family restaurants we use, to our local guides, to the activities conducted, are based around cultural immersion. We handpick our accommodation so that our tour goers have all the needed amenities, cleanliness, facilities, and social hangouts that one would expect from a top-rated tour company. As far as our prices go, everything is offered up front. Many tour companies offer a cheap "starting" price, and then tack on the extras as the tour takes place. Everything we included in the initial tour price with complete transparency. We ensure small group sizes to guarantee a more personal experience for our tour members.
What is the average group size of a WSA tour?
The average group size one can expect on a WSA tour ranges between 10-30 people. Tour sizes can increase on special occasions such as St. Patrick's Day, or Easter in Rome. But for the most part, we prefer to keep the tour size under 30 to ensure the group members receive a more personalized experience.
What are some of the coolest things that travellers can do when on a WSA tour?
Each destination offers its own unique experiences that sets itself apart from other tour companies. In Budapest, we take our tour members for a caving expedition deep beneath the hills of Buda, then afterwards direct them to the massive Széchenyi thermal baths, which during the evenings transitions into a raging spa party. On our Krakow weekend, our travellers experience full day trips to Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps, as well as Schindler's factory, a remarkably emotional experience. For our Easter weekend in Rome, tour members enjoy a front row audience to the Pope at the Vatican on Easter morning. Oh…And you can't forget about sky diving above the Swiss Alps. We really do have something for every traveller!
How did the company start and what is the story behind WSA?
Andy Steves, the son of the famous travel Guru Rick Steves, grew up traveling with his father throughout his entire childhood and adolescence. In fact, by the time he was 20 years old, he had already been to Europe a WHOPPING 20 times. Through his father, he learned all of the tips and tricks of proper travel mindset and logistics, as well as a great deal about European culture. After studying abroad in Rome for a semester while in college, Andy decided to start up his own travel business that while similar to his fathers, was specifically for students and budget backpackers. He entered his business idea into the 2010 Notre Dame McCloskey Entrepreneurship Business competition, and took home the grand prize of $15,000 dollars! Later that year using the prize money, Andy started WSA, and began running Fall tours. Five years later, WSA now works with over 40+ student organizations across Europe and the United States, providing tours for thousands of students every year.

The fourth time is a charm for Violet Township in its quest to seek state funding for infrastructure repairs in the Mingo Estates subdivision.
The fourth time is a charm for Violet Township in its quest to seek state funding for infrastructure repairs in the Mingo Estates subdivision.
Township Engineer Greg Butcher announced at the Jan. 15 Violet Township Board of Trustees meeting the Ohio Public Works Commission elected to fund the Mingo Estates Phase 2 Project.
"Violet Township has submitted grant applications in 2008 and in the years 2010 through 2013 for infrastructure improvements within the Mingo Estates subdivision," Butcher said.
The township was notified its latest grant application received the green light for funding two weeks ago.
"The project is a multi-jurisdictional effort involving Violet Township, the city of Pickerington and Fairfield County," Butcher said.
He said the project will entail a "complete rebuild of the infrastructure on the southern half portion of Mingo Estates."
Improvements planned tentatively include a new storm sewer, sanitary sewer, waterline, pavement and curb and sidewalks, Butcher said.
"However, the scope of the project is still being finalized with the three government partners," he said.
The estimated cost of Mingo Estates Phase 2 is $1.6 million, with OPWC assistance tabbed at $1.2 million, Butcher said.
"The assistance is in the form of a combination grant and 30-year loan," he said.
"Additionally, a total local share of $400,000 will be required by the three governmental jurisdictions," he said.
Butcher said Violet Township's "out-of-pocket" share is an estimated $250,000 and the township will be also responsible for 100 percent of the $850,000 loan at 3-percent interest.
"These projects are indicative of the infrastructure investment we not only have but also the risk associated with what we have," Butcher said.
"It puts it in perspective of what it costs (to maintain)," he said.
The project will get underway this year and it will likely carry over into 2015, Butcher said.
Trustee Harry Myers Jr. asked Butcher if both the city of Pickerington and Fairfield County were fully committed to the project.
"Could one of them back out?" Myers asked.
"It's important to recognize, the way it's structured, everybody is paying the same percentage of the local share," Butcher said.
"Our two partners have significant grant monies in this (project). I would be surprised if either entity turned down the grant," he said.
Even if one of the partners declined to participate, Butcher said he believed the township could continue with the project.

Gold and silver prices rose Tuesday after China increased interest rates to curb inflation and slow economic growth.
Silver for March delivery settled up 92.8 cents, or 3.2 percent, to $30.271 an ounce. April gold added $15.90 to settle at $1,364.10 an ounce.
This is the third time China has raised interest rates since October. Its inflation rate hit a 28-month high of 5.1 percent in November before moderating in December. Government leaders fear a sharp rise in prices for things like food and fuel could trigger unrest.
The decision is prompting more investors to buy gold and silver because of concerns about inflation, said Dave Meger, vice president of metals trading at Vision Financial Markets.
Some other countries, including Indonesia and Brazil, also have raised rates in an effort to control inflation. Precious metals are considered hedges against inflation and slow growth.
In contracts for March delivery, copper slipped 0.10 cent to $4.5740 a pound and palladium rose $19.40 to $838.45 an ounce. April platinum gained $17.70 to settle at $1,861.90 an ounce.
In other commodities trading, oil prices fell after China's rate hike was announced. Benchmark crude for March delivery fell 54 cents to settle at $86.94 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
China's rate hike decision also affected oil and other energy contracts.
Although many oil traders expected the interest rate hike, the concern is how much it might eventually reduce China's oil demand. "That was one of the main pillars of the current (oil) price," said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research.
Benchmark crude for March delivery fell 54 cents to settle at $86.94 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
In other Nymex trading for March contracts, heating oil rose 2.57 cents to settle at $2.7318 per gallon, gasoline futures rose 4.37 cents to settle at $2.4942 per gallon and natural gas fell 6.4 cents to settle at $4.04 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In agricultural contracts for March, wheat rose 15.5 cents to settle at $8.7425 a bushel, corn fell 1 cent to settle at $6.7375 a bushel and soybeans rose 9.75 cents to settle at $14.3425 a bushel.

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3/Hsien Ko
Hsien-ko (Lei Lei)
In a nutshell
Hsien-Ko is seen as a fairly low tier character but she offers a lot of support for teams and is a strong counter to zoning. She has the ability to throw out items at random, some can cause dizzy states which allows full combos and her Heavy version will actually hit as an overhead. Henkyo Ki is a great anti-projectile move that will completely stop some characters in their tracks such as Viewtiful Joe. Probably her most interesting feature is her dash as it's a teleport but is a bit awkward to master and use it as a mix-up tool. Her biggest support tool is Rimoukon which gives her armored status and allows her to plow through any move in the game, once you're able to make her gold her assists will become unstoppable. She's probably the most awkward character in the game but has tools to support teams with specific goals in mind, turn her gold and let the assist do the work is the game plan with her.

Tips and Tricks
- Note that the amount of hits of Houten Geki affect overall damage scaling. The version may do more damage, but since it hits more often, it reaches the Damage Scaling Minimum much faster.
- Even though the first hit of Tenrai Ha is a , you can still perform another one afterwards due to the use of the spiked balls, or even sometimes adding a Henkyo Ki (preferable using version) in between them for huge overall damage.
Basic Strategy
- She has one unique projectile called Henkyo Ki and most players would go for since it reflects most projectiles (with the exception of a few projectiles attacks like Hidden Missiles and hyper projectiles move).
- Senpu Pu is the only way to move her around faster or getting near opponents due to her dash. Try to use sparingly on it.
- Her Rimoukon Hyper, though only lasting 5 seconds when she's on point, lasts indefinitely as an assist. Using her Senpu Bu assist is the best way to take advantage of her hyper armor, as it works well for both defensive and offensive purposes.
Advanced Strategy
- Use her Senpu Bu as a use of her mobility. But be wise on when to use it since some characters could easily counter her Senpu Bu move.
- Be sure to use version of Henkyo Ki and cancel it to Rimoukon Hyper. This is to prevent characters (namely rushdown characters) killing the character you tag her out or even do a snapback to retentive her back.
- Avoid making her an anchor as her mobility is slow as she's quite hard to chase especially flight and keepaway characters. What you could do is make use of her Senpu Bu or Rimoukon if the latter happens.

REMEMBER when Easter was about watching your team stride out to engage in holiday football in front of bumper crowds?
Well sadly this year - some seasoned Leeds United cynics might say thankfully - there's nothing of the sort for the Whites with the Easter shutters up across the top two divisions.
Instead, it's copious amounts of chocolate, hot cross buns or maybe something a little stronger this Easter time all the way...Or something like that.
But here's a little present for those seeking a footballing fix this Easter. This century may have largely been wretched for Leeds United, but there's been some sweet Easter moments if you dig around deep enough.
The following bunch of fives are not exactly legendary, but we think you will agree that some of the moments below weren't half bad.
In no particular order.
2001: Liverpool 1 Leeds United 2
Good Friday, Friday the 13th of April...Fear not. Leeds took a giant stride towards a potential Champions League slot via the Premiership the following season with a massive victory against Liverpool at Anfield.
David O'Leary's side - endeavouring to cover their bases while still being in the hunt to lift Europe's big prize - moved up to third spot, with first half goals from Rio Ferdinand and Lee Bowyer putting them on their way.
Stevie G may have pulled one back, but it was Leeds's day and the celebrations in the Anfield Road end at the final whistle weren't half bad.
2004: Blackburn Rovers 1 Leeds United 2
Easter Saturday, April 10, 2004...Where were you when..
A massive win for Leeds in their survival quest with Stephen Caldwell's first goal for the club putting United en route to a simply huge three points - pulling beleaguered hosts Blackburn Rovers firmly into the dogfight in the process.
Caldwell headed home Gary Kelly's cross in the first period and Mark Viduka added a killer second deep in the second half before Craig Short made it a nervy end by heading it Paul Gallagher's free-kick.
But Leeds prevailed and the celebrations arrived with gusto in the Darwen End. The ailing patient was not yet out for the count..Easter resurrection and all that....
It did prove a milestone moment. Sadly not for reasons we'd care to dwell with time proving it to be a bittersweet success - United's last win in the top flight..
2003: Leeds United 2 Fulham 0
Two goals from talisman striker Mark Viduka took his impressive tally to six goals in ten games to secure a vital Super Tuesday home win which went a long way towards securing United's top-flight status. For that 2002-03 season at least.
The win saw Peter Reid's side leap-frog Fulham and Bolton into 15th place - six points clear of the drop zone, with Viduka scoring early goals in both halves, with the relief palpable at ER.
2010: Yeovil Town 1 Leeds United 2
United fans setting off to deepest Somerset at the crack of dawn on Easter Monday 2010 did so with a bit of trepidation after a desperate four-match losing streak which included an Easter Saturday loss to - er, Billy Paynter inspired Swindon, who routed Leeds 3-0 on home soil.
But captain fantastic and Leeds lad Richard Naylor got the show back on the road with two first-half goals at silly o'clock. Despite Dean Bowditch pulling one back, Leeds were not to be moved. One for the diehards this...
2007: Leeds United 2 Plymouth Argyle 1
Lubo, Lubo...Michalik that is, with the Slovakian defender being the unlikely goal hero, netting a dramatic late winner in a priceless 2-1 survival win over Plymouth.
Leeds were pitched in a desperate - and ultimately unsuccessful - battle against the drop with that win temporarily lifting them out of the bottom three, although they did it the hard way.
Peter Halmosi gave Ian Holloway's Argyle the lead in the first half when he raced on to Sylvan Ebanks-Blake's ball and slipped his shot past Casper Ankergren.
Relief was at hand when David Healy levelled just before the break, pouncing on a loose ball inside the area.
And the stage was set for Michalik to score the winner when he headed in Alan Thompson's free-kick.

Coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle. Like all other tissues in the body, the heart muscle needs oxygen-rich blood to function. Also, oxygen-depleted blood must be carried away. The coronary arteries wrap around the outside of the heart. Small branches dive into the heart muscle to bring it blood.
The 2 main coronary arteries are the left main and right coronary arteries.
Left main coronary artery (LMCA). The left main coronary artery supplies blood to the left side of the heart muscle (the left ventricle and left atrium). The left main coronary divides into branches:
The left anterior descending artery branches off the left coronary artery and supplies blood to the front of the left side of the heart.
The circumflex artery branches off the left coronary artery and encircles the heart muscle. This artery supplies blood to the outer side and back of the heart.
Right coronary artery (RCA). The right coronary artery supplies blood to the right ventricle, the right atrium, and the SA (sinoatrial) and AV (atrioventricular) nodes, which regulate the heart rhythm. The right coronary artery divides into smaller branches, including the right posterior descending artery and the acute marginal artery. Together with the left anterior descending artery, the right coronary artery helps supply blood to the middle or septum of the heart.
Smaller branches of the coronary arteries include: obtuse marginal (OM), septal perforator (SP), and diagonals.
Since coronary arteries deliver blood to the heart muscle, any coronary artery disorder or disease can have serious implications by reducing the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle. This can lead to a heart attack and possibly death. Atherosclerosis (a buildup of plaque in the inner lining of an artery causing it to narrow or become blocked) is the most common cause of heart disease.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — A series of analysts took a cautious view on highflying fast food stock El Pollo Loco Holdings on Tuesday, reflecting concerns about how much further shares can climb in the near term.
The California company LOCO, +2.79% which operates Mexican-style restaurants in the southwestern U.S., made its debut on the Nasdaq exchange last month to great fanfare. Since the initial public offering at $15 apiece, the stock hit a record of $41.70 at the beginning of August. It closed at $33.20 on Monday.
But shares were down nearly 7.6% in Tuesday trade as five investment bank research analysts initiated ratings on the stock. The analysts suggested that while El Pollo Loco has become a formidable competitor in the Mexican-style fast-food business, the share price has already baked in the positives. The median rating was hold.
Here's what the analysts are saying:
- Morgan Stanley's John Glass: Underweight rating with a $22 price target. "While we think LOCO has a strong business, the current $33 share price is well above the $15 IPO price. We think the current 56x 2015e EPS is an unwarranted premium to LOCO's closest peer — Fiesta Restaurant Group FRGI, -2.14% which trades at 32x. Chipotle CMG, +1.33% which we view as the most successful restaurant business in the last decade commands a comparable 39x P/E today. Our base case for LOCO is $22 (37x)."
- Baird's David Tarantino: Neutral rating with a $32 price target. "Our optimism about near- and long-term growth prospects is tempered somewhat by current valuation metrics, which seem to be embedding many of the positives of the story and do not appear to be fully discounting some of the risks associated with accelerating growth into new markets."
- Stifel's Paul Westra: Hold rating with no formal price target. "With national quick-casual chains like Chipotle teaching Americans that high-quality, dinner-centric meals can in fact be obtained at counter-service restaurants, it appears to us that a tipping-point has occurred where an increasing majority of Americans have begun to rediscover the 'founding fathers' of the dinner-centric QSR-plus category... Unfortunately, we believe that the LOCO 'Stock Story' already fully reflects our positive view of LOCO's strong growth prospects."
- Jefferies's Andy Barish: Hold rating with $30 price target. "We think LOCO will grow EPS +15-20% as it accelerates unit growth out of CA and positions itself to capture Fast Casual guests with the value & convenience of QSR. At just ~400 units today though, ~88% of which are in CA, there is execution risk. With one of the highest valuations in the group, we would prefer to let LOCO grow into its multiple for some time."
- William Blair's Sharon Zackfia: Outperform rating with no formal price target. "We believe the concept is poised to benefit from a number of trends that continue to sweep across the restaurant industry, including 1) a rising appetite among consumers for healthier fare, 2) an increasing preference for fresh, hand-prepared, made-to-order menu items, and 3) the growing popularity of both chicken and Mexican cuisine in the United States."

Crowdsourcing: Who really innovates?
I found this article very interesting, though I have to admit off that bat that I don't entirely agree with it.
In The Myth of Crowdsourcing, Dan Woods offers a critique of crowdsourcing, claiming in fact that it doesn't really exist. According to Woods, crowds to not innovate, individuals do. All of the supposed products of crowdsourcing, from Wikipedia to Linux, are really the creations of a few talented individuals. According to Woods, the concept of an innovation coming from a group or crowd of people is "a false idea" and "a blow to the image of the heroic inventor."
I can see Woods' point. There have been many great individual innovators to whom our modern world owes much of its existence. But this does not rule out the emergence of an idea from a group of people, and it does not rule out the notion that such ideas will emerge with greater frequency in the 21st century. Even great individual innovators cannot carry out their ideas individually. No human is an island, and we all require assistance from others to help get our ideas of the ground.
While I doubt that crowdsourcing will become the way to do business in the 21st century, I do believe its importance cannot be underestimated. Woods' article reads like a dire warning of the demise of rugged American individualism. Yet individualism is another ideal concept that can be dismissed as a myth.

Automated phoneme mapping for cross-language speech recognition
Sooful, Jayren Jugpal
This dissertation explores a unique automated approach to map one phoneme set to another, based on the acoustic distances between the individual phonemes. Although the focus of this investigation is on cross-language applications, this automated approach can be extended to same-language but different-database applications as well. The main goal of this investigation is to be able to use the data of a source language, to train the initial acoustic models of a target language for which very little speech data may be available. To do this, an automatic technique for mapping the phonemes of the two data sets must be found. Using this technique, it would be possible to accelerate the development of a speech recognition system for a new language. The current research in the cross-language speech recognition field has focused on manual methods to map phonemes. This investigation has considered an English-to-Afrikaans phoneme mapping, as well as an Afrikaans-to-English phoneme mapping. This has been previously applied to these language instances, but utilising manual phoneme mapping methods. To determine the best phoneme mapping, different acoustic distance measures are compared. The distance measures that are considered are the Kullback-Leibler measure, the Bhattacharyya distance metric, the Mahalanobis measure, the Euclidean measure, the L2 metric and the Jeffreys-Matusita distance. The distance measures are tested by comparing the cross-database recognition results obtained on phoneme models created from the TIMIT speech corpus and a locally-compiled South African SUN Speech database. By selecting the most appropriate distance measure, an automated procedure to map phonemes from the source language to the target language can be done. The best distance measure for the mapping gives recognition rates comparable to a manual mapping process undertaken by a phonetic expert. This study also investigates the effect of the number of Gaussian mixture components on the mapping and on the speech recognition system's performance. The results indicate that the recogniser's performance increases up to a limit as the number of mixtures increase. In addition, this study has explored the effect of excluding the Mel Frequency delta and acceleration cepstral coefficients. It is found that the inclusion of these temporal features help improve the mapping and the recognition system's phoneme recognition rate. Experiments are also carried out to determine the impact of the number of HMM recogniser states. It is found that single-state HMMs deliver the optimum cross-language phoneme recognition results. After having done the mapping, speaker adaptation strategies are applied on the recognisers to improve their target-language performance. The models of a fully trained speech recogniser in a source language are adapted to target-language models using Maximum Likelihood Linear Regression (MLLR) followed by Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) techniques. Embedded Baum-Welch re-estimation is used to further adapt the models to the target language. These techniques result in a considerable improvement in the phoneme recognition rate. Although a combination of MLLR and MAP techniques have been used previously in speech adaptation studies, the combination of MLLR, MAP and EBWR in cross-language speech recognition is a unique contribution of this study. Finally, a data pooling technique is applied to build a new recogniser using the automatically mapped phonemes from the target language as well as the source language phonemes. This new recogniser demonstrates moderate bilingual phoneme recognition capabilities. The bilingual recogniser is then further adapted to the target language using MAP and embedded Baum-Welch re-estimation techniques. This combination of adaptation techniques together with the data pooling strategy is uniquely applied in the field of cross-language recognition. The results obtained using this technique outperform all other techniques tested in terms of phoneme recognition rates, although it requires a considerably more time consuming training process. It displays only slightly poorer phoneme recognition than the recognisers trained and tested on the same language database.
