On Sunday, officers returned to go over the crime scene. Photo Credit: NYPD; Howard Schnapp By ANTHONY M. DESTEFANO. AND NICOLE FULLER email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com May 4, 2015 12:41 PM Print Share fbShare Tweet Email Investigators have found a revolver in a Queens neighborhood which they believe may have been used in the shooting of Officer Brian Moore over the weekend, a law enforcement official told Newsday on Monday. The gun was found in a backyard not far from where the suspect lived, the official said. Moore, 25, of Massapequa, remains in critical condition, an NYPD spokesman said Monday morning. Det. Michael DeBonis said Moore is "still critical," but said he could not provide more details on the officers's condition. NYPD Police Commissioner William Bratton was to visit Moore at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, DeBonis said. Moore was shot Saturday night in Queens as he approached Demetrius Blackwell, 35, whom he suspected of carrying a weapon. According to law enforcement officials, Moore was with his partner when they saw Blackwell tugging at his waistband, thought he had a gun and asked him, "What are you carrying?" Blackwell, of Queens, then started to fire, police said. Moore and his partner, Officer Erik Jansen, 30, were in plainclothes and driving an unmarked car at the time of the shooting, Police Commissioner William Bratton said. Colleagues of Moore and law enforcement officials said he has a connection to the NYPD. As it is for many officers, the oath Moore took about five years ago is about family and tradition as well as a commitment to serve others, they said. Moore's father, an uncle and cousins all served in the NYPD. "His father is a retired police officer. His uncle is a retired police officer. His cousins are all police officers currently both in our great city and in the towns out east on Long Island as well," Patrolmen's Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch said. "They're folks that dedicated themselves to service. This shouldn't have happened to a police officer like this." Mayor Bill de Blasio noted Moore's lineage in the immediate aftermath of the Saturday night shooting. "He is a brave young man. He comes from a police family," he said. "This is what he wanted to do with his life. He wanted to be a New York City police officer. He wanted to serve, and he did so with great distinction." Moore was determined to join the police ranks, taking the test and entering the academy almost immediately after graduating from Plainedge High School in North Massapequa. He lived on the same street where he grew up, and his presence comforted those who live nearby. "It's always reassuring when officers live in the neighborhood because it feels safe," said next-door neighbor Liam Whyte, 45, who called the shooting "heartbreaking." Blackwell is charged with attempted first-degree murder, assault and weapons charges and faces life in prison if convicted, prosecutors said. Officers descended on the neighborhood after the shooting, peering into yards and passing vehicles, and telling residents to stay in their homes. Police arrested Blackwell about 90 minutes after the shooting at 104-25 212th Place, Bratton said. Blackwell was known to stay at several homes in the area, Bratton said. Blackwell served 5 years in prison for attempted murder and was released from upstate Clinton Correctional Facility in 2008, according to prison records. By ANTHONY M. DESTEFANO.

Charles Jeremiah Wells, (born 1799?, London, England—died February 17, 1879, Marseille, France), English writer, author (under the pseudonym H.L. Howard) of Joseph and His Brethren: A Scriptural Drama in Two Acts (1823), a long dramatic poem in the style of the Elizabethan dramatists, which enjoyed an immense vogue among the Pre-Raphaelites and their followers after it was praised first by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and then, in 1875, by Algernon Charles Swinburne, who particularly relished the character of Phraxanor (the woman who attempts to seduce Joseph).
As a young man, Wells was a member of the poet John Keats's circle of literary friends. He abandoned a legal career from boredom and ill health, leaving England in 1840 for France. He taught English in Brittany and finally settled in Marseille.

K-5 Vs D7000 Vs 60D Vs A580
(in Chinese, English Report Here (Google Translated))
The review tested RAW Vs JPEG per body, in-camera JPEG ISO comparison amongst the four bodies, RAW JPEG ISO comparison (from 80/100 up to 25,600), 30 second long-time exposure shootout, crop comparisons for other real-life samples, and finally resolution comparison (for both RAW and JPEG) and at last a sum-up for all the shootouts and for the whole test.
A very nicely done and objective test and report, I have to say. Highly recommended.

Over the past 10 years or so, a trend has emerged within the office furniture industry (much like many other industries) of importing product from outside the United States. Much of the imported office furniture comes from Asian manufacturers, while some is from South or Central America and elsewhere. We have observed that there is a wide variety of product quality among the import lines, and it is very important to have a good working relationship and confidence in a given distributor and the products that they resell, as well as a knowledge of warranty policy and reputation for product support.
The simple truth is that a lot of the imported furniture is, for lack of a better term…absolute junk, and the useful life of that product will be a fraction of what most users normally expect. What typically happens is that a major mass market buyer goes to Asian manufacturers with a picture or description of a particular product that they want to purchase, and they give the manufacturer a target price point. These mass market resellers (ie. WalMart, Staples, Office Depot, et al) all compete primarily on price, therefore they want their product to be the most aggressively priced product in the market place, and the Asian manufacturers are very willing to oblige. The problem is, in order to meet the low price points, product quality is sacrificed by using inferior components and materials and/or using design shortcuts in order to save labor…resulting in a junky end product that will fall apart after minimal usage.

I always find this to be a very entertaining detail. Do you remember the boy in Bo Widerbergs "Mannen på Taket"? He's trying to get away from the crashing helicopter during the fantastic ending at S:t Eriksplan. Here he is:
He later grew up and became Carolas boyfriend for a while, and most important, became action-star A.R. Hellquist (aka Anders Hellqvist) in a couple of Swedish action classics:
Fatal Secret (1988) .... John Mitchell
Animal Protector (1988) .... John Santino
The Mad Bunch (1989) .... Eddie
The Forgotten Wells (1990) .... Peter Savage
He also had a cameo on a lousy movie I produced, Farligt Förflutet, where he was one of several actors from the Swedish lowbudget action movie history to make an appearance. He also starred as the bad guy in Ninja Mission 2000, another movie we made - but never released.
During later years he's been involved in some stunt school, been doing smaller roles in TV-series and commercials (he plays the Ninja in one of the first IF Hemförsäkring-commercials for example) and doing guard-work at Stureplan. Just google his name and you will find dozens of new photos from nightclubs and so on.

Airplanes for Baby William
I finished the quilt Thursday night, to be shipped out for machine quilting by Jo Richards of "Spotted Dog Quilting". And Baby William was born Friday morning, October 21st at 9:11, the same time I was shipping out the quilt! A little early (6 weeks) but weighed in at 5 pounds, 15 ounces. Great weight for a preemie and he's beautiful!
The quilt was made using Jo Morton Fabrics and the airplane block is "Lucky Lindy" created after Charles Lindbergh's nonstop solo flight from New York to Paris in 1927.
We are so happy for Brent and Tonya ... William Anthony, God's blessing to you!
Life is Good!

Today I am delighted to welcome author Zrinka Jelic on my blog.
Hello fans of romance and thank you, Marie for hosting me on your blog. I'm glad to be here today when we take time to remember those who laid their lives for the better future.
Hello fans of romance and thank you, Marie for hosting me on your blog. I'm glad to be here today when we take time to remember those who laid their lives for the better future.
Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
Flanders fields.
As you can see from the poster and the first two verses of McCrea's "In Flanders Fields" poem, I'm Canadian. But my home country is Croatia and therefore all my novels take place there, partially or in whole. My debut novel "Bonded by Crimson" is set partially in Croatia and the hero is a three centuries immortal from a well-known Croatian legend whose forbidden love ended tragically. It was only natural that the hero experienced a few wars along his long life.
Here's a short excerpt:
"May, 1942 – Three weeks since we arrived at the underground hospital of Petrova Gora and Matthias immersed himself in the work. I am yet to get used to him carrying that blasted gun holstered to his belt. He is exhausted, and although he hides it well, I can see the sorrow on his face from the lost lives of those in his care. The supplies are running short, forcing him to relive the horror of when he had to operate without sedation. This war has made animals of the best of men, with brothers, willing to kill each other. What for, I ask? When will all this needless dying end?"
Kate shivered at the horrors of war and flipped to the next page. Matthias stared at her from a sepia photograph. She smiled and ran her finger over his image captured in time. Two large golden stars on the epaulets of his jacket indicated his rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. The five point star was displayed on the tilted wedge cap nestled in his thick hair. Then Emina's diary took Kate to a different world once again, and she lost any sense of time until Matthias's hand caressed her neck, sending sensuous shivers down her spine. She placed the diary on the table and looked up at his face. He held the phone pressed to his ear. Over sixty years ago, during the Second World War when her parents were children, the man she was about to marry fought as a Partisan. Would she ever get used to his real age?
Love isn't in the cards for her…
After her short, failed marriage, Kate tries to rebuild her life and takes a position as a nanny to three small boys. She quickly grows to love them, but their father terrifies her, while igniting a passion she didn't know she possessed. Disturbed by his distant manner with his sons, Kate struggles to make him more involved in the boys' daily lives. Her efforts are mysteriously supported by an entity that cannot really exist. Or can she? And if she does exist, is she really trying to help Kate, or just take over her body?
But when he deals the hand, all bets are off…
Six years after his beloved wife passed away, Matthias Zrin is still trying to become the father she wanted him to be. Not an easy task for a three-centuries-old immortal. His search for the ultimate nanny ends when Kate Rokov stumbles to his home and into his arms. The immediate attraction he feels for her seems like a betrayal of his dead wife, a love he's harboured for over three hundred years. But when Kate is stalked by a deadly stranger, the life he clung to in the past begins to crumble and break down. Can Matthias learn to trust and to love again in time to save his family from disaster, or will his stubborn pride destroy everything worth living for?

Zrinka Jelic lives in Ontario, Canada, with her husband and two children. A member of the Romance Writers of America and its chapter Fantasy Futuristic &Paranormal, as well as Savvy Authors, she writes contemporary fiction—which leans toward the paranormal—and adds a pinch of history. Her characters come from all walks of life, and although she prefers red, romance comes in many colors. Given Jelic's love for her native Croatia and the Adriatic Sea, her characters usually find themselves dealing with a fair amount of sunshine, but that's about the only break they get. "Alas," Jelic says, with a grin. "Some rain must fall in everyone's life."
Watch the book trailer here:
Also watch for my second novel "Treasured Chest" a pirate's romance, coming out November 24th.
Thank you Zrinka for coming on my blog today. Good luck with the release of your latest novel.

I first encountered Peter a couple of years ago. He'd left a comment on my blog. I replied and we quickly became good buddies. Our lives were quite different – me with a wife and kids and domestic responsibilities and job that wasn't much fun, and he leading a rather more exotic lifestyle. Peter lived on Kaua'i, a distant part of the Hawaiian Islands. We got on like brothers, and no matter how mundane my life seemed, he always had an encouraging word, and when things got rough – when work started to crush the life out of me he managed to help me keep a sense of proportion – the bigger view. I sensed a vague sense of envy on his part – although I could never see why – he lead a life in fantastic corner of the planet, and he had no shortage of company – he was always telling me about the women in his life. There was a constant stream, often more than one at a time and I often wondered how he managed to avoid the issues of them meeting. Apparently this had never happened. Peter had a gift for juggling, no doubt about it.
My job continued to take a number of unpleasant twists and turns, and life at home began to mirror my work day. I never climbed into a bottle, or did drugs, because I figured they'd only make the bad situation worse. I did climb into my head and in the quiet dark spent a great deal of time silently screaming – or so I 'liked' to call it. In reality it was more about churning my manager's most recent put down over and over. Replaying the scenario again, maybe trying to work out the best way forward, maybe because the desperation had begun to pull my heart out of my chest.
Peter's email became an absolute lifesaver. He'd remind me of the good stuff in my life – my wife and kids, our home, our folks, the weekend, the garden, a barbecue at the beach – the simple good stuff that some how Peter managed to make sound so valuable. And it is, of course, but when your day goes through the mincer it's hard to remember this stuff. More than once I'd turn from his email with my eyes burning with tears. It's not often that a guy will admit to that.
Gradually the clouds of my life began to turn brighter – my manager was promoted to a new division and her replacement was cast from a different mould. As light began to enter I realised I'd never found out what Peter did for a living. Peter and I had the kind of relationship where we'd shared everything, but I was a bit surprised I didn't exactly know what he did. It's not like it was a secret, I guess I was so concerned with my own issues I'd never asked and – well, it just never came up. I imagined he was a programmer or something. He knew his way around tech having helped solve some network issues I'd been having. He was clearly well paid because his lifestyle would've demanded a reasonable pay packet if nothing else, and his hours appeared to be fairly flexible – I didn't think too much about that aspect because we were in a different time zones made everything just a notch more confusing.
His email in response to my question rocked me back in my chair with a laugh. Peter was an entertainer. So much for my visions of him being a programmer guru. I suddenly had this vision of him being this tall, tanned dude in a Hawaiian shirt, Magnum moustache and a woman on each arm. He thought that was hilarious. But he didn't deny it – I think he liked the image, and said he'd use that as part of his act. Karaoke champ? This time his laughter bubbled up of the email. No, he said, he was a storyteller – tusitala. I immediately was relieved – I finally knew what he did, and was further intrigued – as a writer what had he written? Amazon turned up nothing under his name – Vere-Smith is a distinctive surname – but not distinctive enough for Google.
I was perplexed. I was envious. I was trying to be adult about it, but frankly, I was kind of angry too – I'd just spent months in horrid job, while my friend was having this fantastic lifestyle. How could a person earn enough to have the lifestyle, and be a writer, without having a published book?
No, he didn't do publish on demand books, nor did he create limited edition books, although it turned out he did do limited edition, exclusive performance works. Peter worked entirely online, which explained the tech expertise. He ran a subscription-based web site, catering for well-heeled women who wanted a certain kind of private entertainment, the kind that Peter was evidently willing and able to supply. He gave me a password to the site and the feedback was clear – he was good, damn good, at what he did.
My envy turned into amazement, and then back secretly to envy mixed with curiosity. "How on earth did you get started in that kind of writing – tell me so I can too – just kidding. But how?"
Peter's answer was matter-of-fact. He had been involved in a disabling car accident – he was unable to return to his previous role as an editor for a women's magazine. He took the insurance money and called in some favours, and reinvented his life online. As to how he got started, well, apparently the injuries were significant, and a team of specialists undertook some radical therapy. "You won't believe it," he said, "they started by asking me to imagine playing tennis – serving, volleying and chasing down balls. And then they asked me to picture myself walking from room to room in my home."
"That started the process, and with the assistance of technology I'm able to engage with people, and earn a healthy income, and enjoy myself – and have interesting conversations with people around the world. Plus, of course, my delightful customers."
I had a feeling there was something slightly missing, and so, 'Peter, what was the extent of your injuries?' I was shocked to discover that the range of injuries was vast and the extent enormous. Peter lived life effectively bed ridden, assisted by nurses and a neurotechnician who managed the net connections and the brain wave interface – Peter did not use a keyboard, or voice activated software, it was entirely constructed by his thought processes.
My vision of Peter as this strapping surf god was replaced a shell of a man held together with high tech apparatus. "Don't the customers find this disturbing?" I asked him.
"No", he said, "They have an impression of me – I assist them to create an image of what they want me to be – tall, tanned with a Magnum moustache."
I had to smile. "Sounds familiar, got a Hawaiian shirt?"
I could feel his laughter and Peter was back as I imagined him, and I could see how busy, lonely women would enjoy a 'no-strings, wild things' interlude with this guy. He was attentive, charming, he had 'a certain way'.
"I've always known women want, and so I give it to them – well, let's be clear, sell it to them."
"You're just a gigolo", I joked with him.
"Oh no, only guys can be a gigolo."
I was confused.
'Try Google news for me on imagining playing tennis – "serving, volleying and chasing down balls", and see just how I got started.'

Clip Masterpiece?
Most clip art I see around looks child-like and is often colorful and simple. I recently found this amazing site published by Florida's Educational Technology Clearinghouse. You can find it here. The clip art is more like tiny masterpieces. I love diagramatic, realistic art which these clips certainly are. I hope you all enjoy!

To deploy Java web applications within Web Server 7.0, you need to perform the following tuning within your server:
Tuning web application configuration settings, see Web Server Tuning and the values in default-web.xml like reload interval.
This section describes how to improve performance of web applications, through deployment and configuration settings.
Deployment settings can have significant impact on performance. Follow these guidelines when configuring deployment settings for best performance:
Use Pre-compiled JavaServer Pages
Disable Dynamic Application Reloading
Compiling JSP files is resource intensive and time consuming. Precompiling JSP files before deploying applications on the server will improve application performance. When you compile in advance, only the resulting servlet class files will be deployed.
You can specify on the server to pre-compile JSP files when you deploy an application through the Admin Console, through CLI or GUI. You can also specify on the server to pre-compile JSP files for an already deployed application with the Admin Console.
If dynamic reloading is enabled, the server periodically checks for changes in deployed applications and automatically reloads the application with the changes. Dynamic reloading is intended for development environments and is also incompatible with session persistence. To improve performance, disable dynamic class reloading.
Remove .reload from the web application directory.
On a production system, improve web container performance by disabling dynamic JSP reloading. To do so, edit the default-web.xml file in the config directory for each instance. Change the servlet definition for a JSP file to look like this:
<servlet> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>httpMethods</param-name> <param-value>GET, HEAD, POST</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>fork</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>mappedfile</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>developments</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>genStrAsCharArray</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>trimSpaces</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup> </servlet>
The suggested manual changes requires you to run either pull-config through the CLI or the Admin Console.
The Server produces writes log messages and exception stack trace output to the log file in the logs directory of the instance, Naturally, the volume of log activity can impact server performance; particularly in benchmarking situations.
The efficiency of any application depends on how well memory and garbage collection are managed. The following sections provide information on optimizing memory and allocation functions:
Tracing Garbage Collection
Other Garbage Collector Settings
Tuning the Java Heap
Re-basing DLLs on Windows
Monitoring the Garbage Collection (GC) activity at the development server and accordingly tuning JVM and GC settings before deploying the server into production is necessary. The GC settings vary depending on the application you are running.
Garbage collection reclaims the heap space previously allocated to objects no longer needed. The process of locating and removing the dead objects can stall any application and consume as much as 25 percent throughput.
Almost all Java Runtime Environments come with a generational object memory system and sophisticated GC algorithms. A generational memory system divides the heap into a few carefully sized partitions called generations. The efficiency of a generational memory system is based on the observation that most of the objects are short lived. As these objects accumulate, a low memory condition occurs forcing GC to take place.
The heap space is divided into old and the new generations. The new generation includes the new object space (eden), and two survivor spaces. The JVM allocates new objects in the eden space, and moves longer lived objects from the new generation to the old generation. Keep the heap size low, so that customers can increase the heap size depending on their needs. To increase the heap size, refer to the link, http://www.devx.com/tips/Tip/5578
The young generation uses a fast copying garbage collector which employs two semi-spaces (survivor spaces) in the eden, copying surviving objects from one survivor space to the second. Objects that survive multiple young space collections are tenured, meaning they are copied to the tenured generation. The tenured generation is larger and fills up less quickly. Garbage is collected less frequently; and each collection takes longer than a young space only collection. Collecting the tenured space is also referred to as doing a full generation collection.
The frequent young space collections are quick, lasting only a few milliseconds, while the full generation collection takes a longer, tens of milliseconds to a few seconds, depending upon the heap size. Other GC algorithms, such as the Concurrent Mark Sweep (CMS) algorithm, are incremental. They divide the full GC into several incremental pieces. This provides a high probability of small pauses. This process comes with an overhead and is not required for enterprise web applications.
When the new generation fills up, it triggers a minor collection in which the surviving objects are moved to the old generation. When the old generation fills up, it triggers a major collection which involves the entire object heap.
Both HotSpot and Solaris JDK use thread local object allocation pools for lock-free, fast, and scalable object allocation. So custom object pooling is not often required. Consider pooling only if object construction cost is high and significantly affects execution profiles.
The -Xms and -Xmx parameters define the minimum and maximum heap size. As collections occur when generations fill up, throughput is inversely proportional to the available memory. By default, JVM grows or shrinks the heap at each collection. This helps maintain the proportion of free space to living object at each collection within a specific range. The range is set as a percentage by the parameters -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=<minimum> and -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=<maximum>; and the total size is bound by -Xms and -Xmx.
JVM heap setting for Web Server should be based on the available memory on the system and frequency and duration of garbage collection. You can use -verbose:gc jvm option or the J2SE 5.0 monitoring tools to determine the frequency of garbage collection. For more information on J2SE 5.0 monitoring tools, see J2SE 5.0 Monitoring Tools. The maximum heap size should be determined based on the process data model (32-bit or 64-bit) and availability of virtual and physical memory on the system. Excessive use of physical memory for Java heap may cause paging of virtual memory to disk during garbage collection, resulting in poor performance. For more information on Java tuning, see http://java.sun.com/performance/reference/whitepapers/tuning.html.
This section describes how to use different garbage collector within Web Server.
Use the CMS collector as the GC algorithm. This collector can cause a drop in throughput for heavily utilized systems, because it is running constantly, but it prevents the long pauses that can occur when the garbage collector runs infrequently.
Procedure to use the CMS collector:
Shut down the server.
Configure the CMS collector in the server instance.
add the following JVM options either using the Admin Console or by using the CLI:
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=1
Use the jvmstat utility to monitor HotSpot garbage collection.
For detailed information on tuning the garbage collector, see Tuning Garbage Collection with the 5.0 Java Virtual Machine. See .
The two primary measures of garbage collection performance are throughput and pauses. Throughput is the percentage of the total time spent on other activities apart from GC. Pauses are times when an application appears unresponsive due to GC.
Two other considerations are footprint and promptness. Footprint is the working size of the JVM process, measured in pages and cache lines. Promptness is the time between when an object becomes dead, and when the memory becomes available.
This is an important consideration for distributed systems. A particular generation size makes a trade-off between these four metrics. For example, a large young generation likely maximizes throughput, but at the cost of footprint and promptness.
J2SE 5.0 supports tools that can be used to provide information on performance and resource consumption for running applications. Two commonly used tools, jconsole and jstat, are discussed in this section.
For a complete list of available tools and their usage, see J2SE 5.0 Trouble-Shooting and Diagnostic Guide.
The JMX based graphical tool jconsole is used to display thread usage, memory consumption, and class loading details. For more information about this tool, see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/management/jconsole.html.
To use the tool, you need to:
1. Set the JVM option -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote in server.xml.
Use the Admin Console or CLI to set this JVM option. For more information, see Configuring Your JVM in Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Administrator's Guide.
2. Start jconsole.
The binary is available in $JAVA_HOME/bin directory. Specify the pid in the command line when invoking the tool. The pid of the Web Server process is obtained either from the log file or by locating the child webservd process.
You may also invoke jconsole without the pid argument and then select the appropriate VM from the window displaying available VMs.
Thejstat utility can be used to tune the Java heap size and diagnose performance issues related to heap and garbage collection. This utility can be used without any server configuration changes as the VM instrumentation is enabled by default. For more information, see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/share/jstat.html.
Binary logging is a functionality introduced in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 5. This feature allows server information to be stored in a single log file that contains binary, unformatted log data of all the web sites hosted on a server. It thus minimizes the usage of system resources used for logging, may improve performance and scalability, and at the same time records detailed log information. The feature is enabled by making changes in the server.xml file. The server.xml should have a new element mode with binary value specified in access-log. If the mode element is missing or its value is not specified, the default value is text. The text option writes access log in ASCII format, as was in previous Web Server releases. However, if the mode element is specified with binary value, the access log is written in binary format.
To enable binary logging, add the following in the server.xml:
<access-log> <file>../logs/access/<file> <mode>binary</mode> </access-log>
In Web Server, the binary log file is bundled in the product bin directory called binlog and includes a log writer 1.0, log reader 1.0 and a version identifier. The version identifier identifies the versions of log writer and log reader and will be upgraded accordingly in future releases.
The log writer 1.0 writes the log format into a raw binary log file which is not human readable. The binary log reader 1.0 takes the binary access log file as input, extracts it and prints the log in human readable ASCII format on the console.
Binary log accepts the following arguments:
Displays the help.
Displays the version number of the binary log reader.
It is the input binary log file name. The default value is stdin.
Binary log is executed in the following two ways:
$binlog < access.log
$binlog -i access.log

Wow, if you thought ASTRO was a boy group to overlook because of their bright and cutesy school-boy image, you have another think coming (I read too much Enid Blyton as a kid). Between Victon and Astro, I'm having a good time discovering their music. I mean, look at all my Astro cuties in this video below:
Hands down, this song is so good and their sharp dance moves and synchronization are mesmerizing! Their voices are better than I remember and if I'm fangirling, I'll have to say that I can't decide between Rocky and Eunwoo.
Again – Astro
I'm just going to throw in this lyric video. I like to see line distributions for some strange reason and this song seems to have some of the best line distributions. I can't imagine them switching lines at all.
Voice to the New World (mini album) – Victon
Here's Victon's first mini album. My favorite tracks are 1, 2, 4, and 5.
Ready (2nd mini album) – Victon
And here's the 2nd mini album. All the songs are good but my favorite is 3. I love the way Hanse starts the song.. actually I think he starts all the songs in this album?! Seungsik and Sejun as the two main vocalists complement each other so well. I can't identify Subin's voice so I hope they give him a few more lines.
So Good – Taeyang
This song by Taeyang was released today so I have to put it here. Taeyang killin' it as always.
All these songs are right up my alley. Enjoy.

Questions on MDGs and their achievement
Post2015.org - what comes after the MDGs?
This post is written by Shehryar Toru, researcher at SDPI in Pakistan, part of the Southern Voice Initiative. In this post, he challenges how goals and targets are currently designed.
As the deadline of the Millennium Development Goals is fast approaching, progress on several goals has been widely debated. The UN's Millennium Development Goals Report2013 claims that several development targets have been or will be achieved. However, opponents criticise the over-ambitious targets of the MDGs, and argue that the achievements made should be credited to the export-driven economic growth and industrialisation of countries like India and China.
The progress on MDGs is rather dismal in the context of Pakistan. With the exception of Goal 7, progress on all other indicators is "off-track", and goals are unlikely to be met by the end of 2015. A national report by the Commonwealth Foundation on A civil society review of progress…

For this study, they are using Cognitively-Based Compassion Training, a technique developed with the assistance of Lobsang Tenzin Negi, director of the Emory-Tibet Partnership, and based in traditional Tibetan Buddhist practices.
Here is some info on CBCT from the Tibet-Emory page:
Senior author on this study Charles Raison is now at the University of Arizona. I am hoping that the agency I work for can partner with him to help us teach CBCT to our clients as part of a research project. I can't imagine another population more in need of this practice.
Cognitive-Based Compassion Training (CBCT)There are doubtless many methods one could employ to enhance compassion beyond the biological level to an impartial altruism, and in fact many religious traditions contain methods for such cultivation. In our studies, we use a protocol for the cultivation of compassion developed by Geshe Lobsang Tenzin Negi, drawn from the lojong tradition of Tibetan Buddhism but rendered into secular form for use by individuals of any, or no, religious inclination. The term lojong means "mind training" or "thought transformation" and refers to a systematic practice of gradually training the mind in compassion until altruism becomes spontaneous.Lojong is based on the view that self-centered thinking and behavior cause suffering for oneself and others, while other-centered, altruistic thoughts, emotions, and behaviors ultimately benefit both oneself and others. Compassion is the heartfelt wish that others be free from suffering and the readiness to act on their behalf. It arises from a deep sense of endearment for others, coupled with empathy for and sensitivity to their pain. This empathy arises both from a sense of closeness or connectedness to others as well as a recognition of the causes of their and one's own suffering.The CBCT program therefore aims to help practitioners progressively cultivate other-centered thoughts and behaviors while overcoming maladaptive, self-focused thoughts and behaviors by moving systematically through eight sequential steps. These are: (1) developing attention and stability of mind through focused attention training; (2) cultivating insight into the nature of mental experience; (3) cultivating self-compassion; (4) developing equanimity; (5) developing appreciation and gratitude; (6) developing affection and empathy; (7) realizing aspirational compassion; and (8) realizing active compassion. The adult CBCT program is an 8-week intervention that meets for two hours a week. Each session contains pedagogical material presented by the instructors, a guided meditation of around twenty to thirty minutes, and group discussion, with subjects being asked to meditate daily for the duration of the program using guided meditation recordings. Our team has expertise in adapting CBCT to meet the needs of diverse populations, including elementary schoolchildren, adolescents in foster care and survivors of trauma. Visit our Research page for more information about our ongoing projects.
Here is a short video of Dr. Raison talking about compassion at TEDxAtlanta:
Journal Reference:
J. S. Mascaro, J. K. Rilling, L. Tenzin Negi, C. L. Raison. Compassion meditation enhances empathic accuracy and related neural activity. Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 2012; DOI: 10.1093/scan/nss095
Compassion Meditation May Boost Neural Basis of Empathy, Study FindsScienceDaily (Oct. 4, 2012) — A compassion-based meditation program can significantly improve a person's ability to read the facial expressions of others, finds a study published by Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience. This boost in empathic accuracy was detected through both behavioral testing of the study participants and through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans of their brain activity.
"It's an intriguing result, suggesting that a behavioral intervention could enhance a key aspect of empathy," says lead author Jennifer Mascaro, a post-doctoral fellow in anthropology at Emory University. "Previous research has shown that both children and adults who are better at reading the emotional expressions of others have better relationships."
The meditation protocol, known as Cognitively-Based Compassion Training, or CBCT, was developed at Emory by study co-author Lobsang Tenzin Negi, director of the Emory-Tibet Partnership. Although derived from ancient Tibetan Buddhist practices, the CBCT program is secular in content and presentation.
The research team also included senior author Charles Raison, formerly a psychiatrist at Emory's School of Medicine and currently at the University of Arizona, and Emory anthropologist James Rilling.
When most people think of meditation, they think of a style known as "mindfulness," in which practitioners seek to improve their ability to concentrate and to be non-judgmentally aware of their thoughts and feelings. While CBCT includes these mindfulness elements, the practice focuses more specifically on training people to analyze and reinterpret their relationships with others.
"The idea is that the feelings we have about people can be trained in optimal ways," Negi explains. "CBCT aims to condition one's mind to recognize how we are all inter-dependent, and that everybody desires to be happy and free from suffering at a deep level."
Study participants were healthy adults without prior meditation experience. Thirteen participants randomized to CBCT meditation completed regular weekly training sessions and at-home practice for eight weeks. Eight randomized control subjects did not meditate, but instead completed health discussion classes that covered mind-body subjects like the effects of exercise and stress on well-being.
To test empathic accuracy before and following CBCT, all participants received fMRI brain scans while completing a modified version of the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET). The RMET consists of black-and-white photographs that show just the eye region of people making various expressions. Those being tested must judge what the person in the photograph is thinking or feeling.
Eight out of the 13 participants in the CBCT meditation group improved their RMET scores by an average of 4.6 percent, while the control participants showed no increase, and in the majority of cases, a decrease in correct answers for the RMET.
The meditators, in comparison to those in the control group, also had significant increases in neural activity in areas of the brain important for empathy, including the inferior frontal gyrus and dorsomedial prefrontal cortex. These changes in brain activity accounted for changes in the empathic accuracy scores of the participants.
"These findings raise the intriguing possibility that CBCT may have enhanced empathic abilities by increasing activity in parts of the brain that are of central importance for our ability to recognize the emotional states of others," Raison says. "An important next step will be to evaluate the effects of CBCT on diverse populations that may particularly benefit from enhanced empathic accuracy, such as those suffering from high-functioning autism or severe depression."
Findings from the current study add to a growing database indicating that the CBCT style of meditation may have physical and emotional effects relevant to health and well-being. For example, previous research at Emory found that practicing CBCT reduced emotional distress and enhanced physical resilience in response to stress in both healthy young adults and in high-risk adolescents in foster care.

The only thing missing at the Music Center's Very Special Arts Festival, according to one participant, were tissues.
She said this as she dabbed her eyes, adding: "It's so sweet, what all these kids are doing."
This is the seventh year the Arts Festival has been held on the plaza of the Music Center. Sponsored by the Center's Education Division, its purpose is to bring together disabled and non-disabled children from more than 30 school districts around the Los Angeles area for a half-day of arts-related activities that they can watch and take part in. Events included dance and music performances, workshops and crafts projects, plus the chance to meet celebrities.
Saturday morning the entire plaza, from the Mark Taper Forum to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, was taken up with some 7,500 people, including children, parents, teachers and the curious who came to check out the action. On one side were crafts, including silk-screening, courtesy of the Exceptional Children's Center, where kids daubed paint on screens, squeezed it through and came up with mottled hearts on white paper.
Creating Masks
Members of the Los Angeles Mask Theater taught the art of mask making, working with strips of gauze and plaster and creating intricate gargoyle faces. Japanese ink painting from the L.A. County Museum of Art was at another table, and faces were brightened with hearts and rainbows painted by students and teachers of the UCLA Extension ARTSREACH program.

A few months ago Lucy began sleeping in a big girl bed. She is at the right age and we needed her crib for the baby's room. We have put up some of her own art on the walls but the room still needed something to go with her new bedding. A fantastic sale at Michaels a few weeks ago inspired me to make these wall decorations from recycled cardboard (we have tons of boxes from our recent move), craft paint and glue.
After cutting apart several corrugated cardboard boxes, I traced around my stainless steel mixing bowls and various plastic lids to cut out circles to work with.
Based on the flower shapes on her bedding I then doodled different petal shapes and sizes onto each circle and cut them out. I decided to stack two of each size together for extra strength. For added texture and interest I also peeled the paper from the corrugated layer on one layer of each flower.
That sale at Michaels I mentioned earlier included craft paint for $.29 so I picked up several colors found in the bedding and got to work! Cardboard really soaks up the paint so I had to apply 2-3 coats to maintain the vibrant colors.
After arranging each piece so that the colors and shapes in each flower looked right, I started gluing the layers together. The only glue I could find was Elmer's gel glue but I'm sure white glue, any craft glue or rubber cement would work.
Once the glue dried I had to come up with a way to hang these on the wall. I went through my craft stash and came up with wire, E-6000 and a plastic envelope I had saved. I cut the plastic into squares (2 for each flower) and bent hangers from the wire. Using E-6000 and plenty of air ventilation I glued the wire to the cardboard and adhered the plastic to hold it in place. The plastic kept rolling up on the edges so I stacked a few books on top of each flower to hold it all in place until dry.
For $1.45 and a little bit of time I was able to make four flowers for Lucy's room and I think they look great! When she has outgrown the bedding and/or flowers I can pass them on to someone else or just toss them into the recycling bin without feeling like I am out a bunch of money.
Lucy found my leftover cardboard and made her own art!

As we see companies like GE and Better Place pushing towards the adoption of electric vehicles, we also see our governments sitting back waiting for the industry to work itself out while they pursue broader energy policy initiatives — or perhaps abandon them in the fight. Well, a new research paper by Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy discovered that perhaps the best policy of all is aggressive adoption of electric cars. The paper found that electric car adoption could reduce our use of foreign oil and cut our emissions output much more than any other proposed policies.
"As the country moves forward to deliberate on energy and climate policy, consideration must be given to what policies would best accomplish the stated goals for U.S. policy — a reduction in the need for imported oil and in greenhouse gas emissions," the paper states in its summary. The paper goes on to study the amount of oil that would be reduced by quick adoption of electric vehicle technology country-wide. Along with the new fuel efficiency standards that are being enacted, which will save 3 million barrels of oil a day by 2050 if 30 percent of all vehicles were electric, we would save an extra 2.5 million barrels of oil a day plus 7% off of our national emissions. The government's current plan would only reduce them by 4%.
Along with attempting to move past the "myths that currently plague the U.S. energy and climate-policy debate", the study is suggesting that the government move towards mandating that a certain amount of cars on the market must be electric vehicles in order to hit the current goals that it has set out for this country in terms of energy consumption and emissions. They note that electric vehicles would be more effective than carbon capping and carbon tax plans. They also note that incentives for natural gas use could be useful in kicking our coal habits — although you know, fracking for natural gas isn't that much better than mountain top mining for coal. All considered, this is the kind of study we'd love to plop on the President's — and every member of congress' — desk in order to guide them into a healthier energy policy debate.

Dragonball Training Manual- Part IX
We're coming down to the wire here; the series is almost done, and we're a little short on training methods. The majority of the series from here on in is nothing but an all out brawl, but before it gets too crazy, here's a little help from the World's Greatest Hero, Mr. Satan. Well, not so much him as it is his daughter, Videl, but we wouldn't have her if not for him. Then, we'll pick it back up with Gohan and Goten.
Train With Our Free Boot Camp!
Don't be intimidated by the complexities of training!
Join our boot camp mini-course to get started in the right direction!
-Hitting the Heavy Bag- Pick a technique and work it all around the bag. Roundhouse kick, side kick, jab-cross combo– just pick one and practice. The heavy bag will pack a lot more power into your shots. For a cardio-strong workout, "fight" the bag for a few 2-3 minute rounds with about 30 seconds of rest in between.
Gohan and Goten
-Dodging, Part II- To get ready for the World Martial Arts Tournament, Gohan and his little brother trained their reflexes by having Goten throw a series of small rocks at Gohan, whose back was against a stone wall. You'll need to get up against a wall and have a partner throw tennis balls at you– not rocks. Like Gohan and Goten, you should have your partner start a little ways away from you and then gradually move closer once you feel comfortable dodging at that distance. I say start at about 20 feet away and work your way in.
-Working with the Z-Sword- When Gohan goes to train with Kaio-shin, he pulls the Z sword from the top of a mountain and masters the use of the sword in order to defeat Majin Buu. We can take two lessons from this last bit of training in Dragonball Z (yes, I know there is training at the end, but it's not anything we haven't already covered). The first lesson we can take from this training is the actual pulling of the Z-Sword from its mountain resting place and the second is using it. Basically, the second is just using weapons (heavy ones) to strengthen your muscles, so we'll skip that this time, because their are a LOT of weapons out there to train in and you should probably find an instructor to teach you how to wield your weapon. SO, for all intents and purposes, the Z-Sword is an immovable object while inside the stone. Therefore, we are going to work on…
Isometrics are a type of exercise where muscles in the body exert force in merely one joint angle. This can include pulling or pushing against something too heavy to move or holding a weight you can actually move in a static position. I don't recommend doing only isometrics, because in order to work your entire body you'd have to do a LOT of different positions and, plus, there's not much to the cardio aspect of pushing against an immovable object or standing in a horse stance for an hour. However, what I do recommend is that, if you are in a sticking place in an exercise or if your grip is weak you can greatly benefit by using isometrics to burst through that sticking point and really increase your grip.
-Getting Through Your Sticking Points- Everyone, at some time or another, will get to that point on an exercise with a heavy weight where the weight just sticks somewhere in the movement. It can be very frustrating when you feel very strong in the entire movement, but fail in just a single spot. Let's look at a couple examples just so we can get a general idea of just what types of things can be done with isometrics.
Bench Press- Using a Squat Rack you can find in nearly any gym or fitness center, slide a bench underneath the bar and lower the bar to whatever height you are getting stuck at in your exercise. Load an amount of weight that you cannot move and attempt to press it up. Please be careful and use a spotter.
Curls, Overhead Press, and other things I'm sure- Take a piece of rope, stand one end and pull upward. Make sure the rope is firmly underneath your foot as you pull up or press up so you don't punch yourself in the face or anything.
-Building Raw Power- Pushing or pulling against something immovable, like a tree, will absolutely destroy your muscles. (Don't worry, they rebuild themselves.) You can pull using a rope or chain, you can tie it to your waist and try to pull the tree up by the roots… or just try not to fall on your face. Get creative, be safe, and have fun!
I'd like to continue with the training methods of Dragonball on into infinity… but, unfortunately, from here on out there's either things we've already covered or things that have no application in our world (Old Kaio-Shin's crazy Hidden Power Dance). I had thought about analyzing each of the characters fighting styles, but really, there aren't any unifying principles in their fighting which to analyze and convey, except individual strikes and such. It's been fun writing this to be certain and I hope it will help you in some way to get both strong and healthy.
Hopefully, Dragonball hasn't bored you guys too much. Not sure what's coming next, but it should be up in a few days or so. Thanks a lot, guys!

A finite-state machine (FSM) or finite-state automaton (plural: automata), or simply a state machine, is a mathematical model of computationused to design both computer programs and sequential logic circuits. It is conceived as an abstract machine that can be in one of a finite number of states. The machine is in only one state at a time; the state it is in at any given time is called the current state. It can change from one state to another when initiated by a triggering event or condition, this is called a transition. A particular FSM is defined by a list of its states, and the triggering condition for each transition. Wikipedia

Earlier this year BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, made a clear
statement about its future trading
strategy by promoting its specialist in electronic trading, Supurna
VedBrat, as its new head of global
After starting in the role in the
second quarter of this year, she is
now responsible for overseeing
its global trading operations and
setting the strategic vision across
BlackRock's platform.
With over 19 years of experience
in the US and Europe, she has
become an expert in electronic
trading, market structure and
technology. She joined BlackRock
in 2011 as its co-head of electronic trading and market structure,
where she led its global equities
and prime financing business.
When VedBrat last featured in
the TRADE Derivatives in 2014,
the Dodd-Frank reforms on buy-side trading and clearing of OTC
derivatives were just beginning to
take effect. A lot has changed since
then, with swap execution facilities
(SEFs) influencing wide-scale
adoption of electronic trading for
We caught up with VedBrat to seewhat is the next stage for Black-Rock's trading strategies, how it istackling liquidity challenges, andthe future role for the buy-side intrading.
What are the main changes you are
looking to implement after taking
on the new role?
Supurna VedBrat: In many ways,
the new role will build on what
we have been doing over the last
several years. Our trading team
has been focused on a number of
things. First, as global markets
have been evolving, ensuring we
have access to sufficient liquidity
by adapting our reach; through
expanding the counterparties we
trade with, aggregating fragmented liquidity in the marketplace,
internalising flow, or using algos,
ECNs or exchanges in order to
meet a greater number of liquidity
providers in a systematic manner.
Second, we have been enhancing
our use of data for both, pre-and
post-trade analytics. This is an area
that we will continue to focus on as
it helps us improve our trading and
investment strategies, especially
since the quality of available data
has been improving.
How does BlackRock organise its
global trading functions and how
does that relate to current structural or operational issues in the
SV: Trading keeps evolving and our
organisational structure is agile
enough to adapt to these changes.
We have organised our team to encourage innovation, collaboration
and coordination, while also fostering ownership and accountability.
Each asset class is run in partnership by functional and regional
heads. In addition within trading,
we have a group that focuses on
trading research, market structure
and electronic trading. Diversity
of thought brings forth better solutions and we encourage all levels
to keep enhancing our trading
capabilities. So when we have an
idea, anticipate a potential need
for change or any type of concern
in the market, these groups work
together as a team to provide the
best outcome. We have a thorough
and thoughtful evaluation process.
For instance, at times we may need
a defensive strategy and at other
times we may need to use a new
protocol to trade or seek liquidity
in new, emerging pools. Regardless

Nashville Symphony Orchestra and Chorus Performs First Concert At Re-dedicated George and Sharon Mabry Concert Hall
Posted by Gary Ashton RE/MAX Advantage on Monday, December 3rd, 2012 at 12:44am.
In partnership with Austin Peay State University, the Clarksville Community Concert Association (CCCA) had the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and Nashville Symphony Chorus perform the first concert at the university's soon-to-be re-dedicated concert hall.
The Austin Peay State University Music/Mass Communication building concert hall is to be renamed after Dr. George and Sharon Mabry, two of the university faculty's most notable members since the 1970's. Together, the couple's active participation in the community and school has made substantial impacts on both sectors throughout the years.
The George and Sharon Mabry Hall has gained popularity over the last decades, and was listed as one of the top ten concert halls across the country in the Robb Report back in 2006.
Attendees felt that the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and Chorus couldn't have kicked-off the event any better with their performance of George's latest composition "If Music Be the Food of Love."
Beginning the ceremony was Dr. Kenneth Lee, an associate professor of music at Elon University of North Carolina, who was also a former student of the honored couple. Preliminary phases of the special event was then followed Mr. Evan Harvill, the main man behind this re-dedication campaign.
"I think it's a wonderful tribute to George and Sharon Mabry, and all that they've done here at Austin Peay State University, in their profession, and for our community," says Tim Hall, Austin Peay State University's President.
"I've heard a lot of fine performances in this hall, but I been waiting for the occasion where we had an orchestra and chorus to really fill it up with sound. Today we got to hear the capacity of the hall today, especially with Beethoven's 5th Symphony. It was just absolutely remarkable and a wonderful experience," says Tim Hall, Austin Peay State University President.
Participating at the ceremony's end was the couple of honor themselves, who expressed how the re-dedication has flattered them. "This Is the most overwhelming thing I can imagine you know, it's just a true honor! Sharon and I have been blessed over these years to be a part of this community and this University," said George Mabry.
"We're both thrilled to accept this honor on behalf of the music faculty, because without them and their collaboration with us and outstanding talent ours would not have been focused as greatly as it was. We're absolutely thrilled about it."
