Announcements : Fulbright Grants
Announcement: Fulbright Grants
Law students are encouraged to apply for Fulbright Grants to carry out a project of their design in a host country of their choice.The Office of Merit Awards, housed in the Career Center on main campus,
would like to increase the number of law students applying for Fulbright
Grants. In recent years we have had a small number of WCL applicants, and
they have performed particularly well in competition.
The grants permit students to carry out a project of their design in a host
country of their choice. Most candidates apply in their third year of
law school and carry out their projects after their graduation. Past
successful projects have addressed the privatization of water utilities in
Brazil, the causes of excessive juvenile pretrial detention in Mexico, and
public interest litigation to advance the right to healthcare in India.
The primary eligibility requirements are U.S. citizenship and good health.
Factors in selection include the quality of the research design, the
student's academic and professional qualifications to undertake the
proposed research, and sufficient foreign language skills, where needed.
Candidates are expected to have a solid combination of course work,
research, and practical experience in their issue areas.
If you are interested in pursuing this opportunity, please contact the
Merit Awards front desk at 885-1854 for information on how to initiate the
application process. Applications for funding for the 2014-15 academic
year are due to the Office of Merit Awards in late September. Candidates
would be expected to meet a series of preliminary draft deadlines over the
course of the summer, beginning in late June.

Seaplanes from Adriatic ports begin to fly in April, a full timetable will be valid from May
13 November 2011
European Coastal Air Transport, a company that has announced hydroplane transportation between the islands and coastal ports, early next year, will regulate the organizational center of Split, that the first flights began in April, to a full timetable began to meet in May next year.
This is Aerosvijeta said company representative Michael W. Fuhrmann with the remark that it would soon dispose of the details to the public.
This year's spring was a small sensation when it was announced that it creates a company that will hydroplane in the south Adriatic Sea connecting Split and Dubrovnik and Korcula, Hvar, Vis and Lastovo and the other in the north of Zadar, Rijeka and Pula to Mali Losinj, Rab and other islands .
By September this year, this venture is the opening of "aerial highway" mentioned in the media without any news, so we are happy about the new information that the Croatian air carrier permit to fly, and the concession to use the maritime domain has since summer 2002. year.
According to previous announcements, the ECA will have an airfield with a harbor quay pontoon jetty from which the passengers are loaded in seaplanes.
In the second phase, when the spy 30 port-town, hidroplanskom to link our cities isocnoj to connect with Italian on the west coast. Brindisi, Bari, Foggia, Ancona, Rimini, Ravenna, Bologna, Padua, Trieste and Venice could be the next target of the European Coastal Airlines.
The fleet of the primary jet was Grummanov G-21a Goose with nine seats, while the rental company took the famous De Havilanodvov DHC-6 Twin Otter with 19 seats and Grumman G-111 Albatross with 30 seats.
Are you guys going to hire people to scrape bugs off the planes?
Well, my bet goes on Non Go item, again.....
Grumman can be nice time-machine back in history of pax aviation.
Who dare to operate Grumman on regular pax service in today's Europe,
sure need that to have some $ laundry or have kind of weird state of mind....

How many are presently in airworthy condition? How about maintaining a pair of Wright R-1820's in Europe to commercial requirements? My AD search subscription does not even list the certificate holder or the G-111. Where do you fine AD's for a G-111?

Dr. Srecko Favro, who on behalf of the Croatian Hydrographic Institute in Split and the Wessex Institute of Technology in the UK, and in which the speaker, hosted colleagues from around the world, said that in Croatia next year seaplanes connect the mainland with the islands, and our country to the world.
- The first phase of the project are introduced lines Split-Korcula at a price of 120 kuna, then Vela Luka-Zagreb, Zagreb-Hvar, Korcula and Vis-Zagreb. Starting port will be the beginning of Korcula, Vela Luka, Lastovo and Dubrovnik - said Dr. Favre, but no longer in the preparation of the project, in which German business people are investing big money, prominent in the Dubrovnik-Neretva county.

FDNY Firefighter Allegedly Burglarized Firehouses After False 911 Calls
(NEW YORK) -- A New York City firefighter is accused of stealing from his fellow firefighters after making false emergency calls.
Joseph Keene, 34, was arrested Friday on burglary charges after a joint investigation by the New York Police Department, the Fire Department of New York and the city Department of Investigation (DOI).
According to the DOI, Keene has taken approximately $2,000 from various firehouses in Queens and Staten Island over at least three months. The DOI says that Keene would generally first make false emergency calls, where he would report sparking transformers or the smell of gas, then after the fire trucks answered the call Keene would enter the empty firehouses to take cash or personal belongings.
Investigators say the largest haul was on June 11, when Keene allegedly took $1,200 from a firehouse in Queens after he allegedly made a call to report the odor of gas at a public intersection. Video surveillance allegedly showed Keene exiting a car and entering the firehouse after the company had left to respond to the call.
He was also allegedly entered an FDNY facility on Randall's Island in July and took $40 to $60 from an employee locker room.
According to the DOI, after Keene was interviewed by the DOI and NYPD he allegedly admitted to burglarizing the firehouses.
DOI Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn condemned Keene's actions and said they were not representative of the FDNY.
"It is surprising that a firefighter would both call in fake 911 calls and steal money from colleagues," Gill Hearn said. "To do so at this time, when there is a heightened need and demand for units to be responding to legitimate calls to people in need is especially outrageous."
The New York Daily News reported that Keene was released Friday on $5,000 bail.

County planning and zoning approves bunny bus
Jared Martin applied for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow livestock, particularly rabbits and poultry, in a Heavy Commercial Zone of .3 acres at 141 N. 740 W.
Martin explained his business of breeding rabbits and selling them to a company in California for slaughter.
Martin keeps roughly 1,500 rabbits on his property currently in a bus that he has pens stacked onto. Martin also has poultry that feed on the waste of the rabbits, thereby cutting down on the waste found on the site.
Martin's CUP was approved with conditions to the number of rabbits, no more than 1,500 save for the 24-hour monthly period he has for transferring the rabbits for shipping. Martin also has to keep the animals and poultry contained on his property. The CUP is approved for a two-year period.
Martin hopes to grow his bunny business enough to move the animals to more acreage during those two years.

On 23 and 24 February, team Thiriet by TDS Racing travelled to the Paul Ricard circuit to carry out tests organised by Oreca's client-racing department so as to discover the 2012 developments made to the Oreca 03-Nissan LMP2, and to test the newly fitted Dunlop tyres. The team, supported since its beginnings in Endurance by Motul, distinguished itself last year by finishing 3rd in the Le Mans Series Championship. In 2012, in addition to the ELMS, the French team will participate in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for which it has been selected for the first time! Pierre Thiriet and Swiss driver Mathias Beche took turns at the wheel: 'The 2012 season is off to a start at last', commented the latter. 'After cancellation of the first tests owing to snow, work conditions were then optimal to get back on track. (...) Oreca has done fantastic work to adapt the 03 to the 2012 regulations. The car's behaviour is very good, it's promising. (...) As for the engine, our partnership with Nissan allows us to have a very solid package'. The next scheduled event consists in the official tests of the European Le Mans Series, on 9 and 10 March in Le Castellet, followed on 31 March and 1 April by the 6 Hours of Le Castellet.
With the line-up of teams and drivers, this championship promises to be very open and competitive. A fine show in view!

Rhubarb was the first sign of spring, its ruby stalks brightening up the rows of root vegetables at the farmers' market. Now strawberries have made their presence known too. Before long, sweet peas will also be in abundance—I already spied a few, but they were expensive. Thankfully I have one last bag of fresh-frozen peas from last year's harvest. I'm happy I planned ahead too, though a bag of frozen peas from the supermarket is perfectly fine in a pinch.
What am I in such a hurry to make you're wondering—sweet pea pesto, of course. This past winter I found myself craving a new sauce to dress my pasta. Upon opening the freezer, I found a bag of peas and decided to make something of this humble beginning. I started a pot of water boiling on the stove and decided to turn my find into a feast. I chose penne, figuring the pesto would cling nicely to the ridges and sneak into the tubular opening, but spaghetti would have been a good partner too. It was a simple, satisfying and memorable meal in the midst of snowy days that easily transitions into the sunny summer days ahead.
Sweet Pea Pesto
Serves 4
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 cups frozen peas
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons pine nuts
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
8 ounces uncooked dry pasta, prepared according to package directions
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until it becomes golden and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the pine nuts and cook for 1 more minute, shaking the pan to make sure the nuts and garlic don't burn. Add the peas to skillet, and turn heat down to medium-low. Cook until the peas are tender and heated through, about 3 minutes.
- Spoon the pea mixture into the bowl of your Cuisinart food processor. Add the cheese, lemon zest, juice and pepper. Pulse until it forms a smooth paste. Toss with the hot cooked pasta and serve immediately.

homeschooling an accelerated child?
Hi, im new here and i am considering bringing my 3rd gr ds home from ps. he has scored 99.9% on his standardized testing through school and is just bored to death and is receiving no challenge, but yet they say he barely missed the opportunity to be a part of an accelerated program. I think they were just full. Does anyone know of a good curriculum choice for such a child? He likes color and pictures, nothing dull looking.
Accelerated children are perfect for unschooling, they are usually very excited about learning and you want to foseter that. You don't have to be totally unschooled, but use this for your extras, like history and science. Let him find out what excites him, taking things apart, nature, simple machines? Does he like american history, state facts, world history. Let him explore in the library and find some great things to learn about. Then gear his math and english studies around it. Example, if you are learning about planets, have him build scale models, and write a report about his favorite one. You've just covered, science, math and emglish.
I'm sure others have great resources about unschooling, i just kinda did it and then found out what it was called.
I hope this helps.

Re: homeschooling an accelerated child?
I like to keep my kids a grade or two ahead of what they would be for their age if they were in an institutional school. Right now DD1 just turned 16 and will finish 11th this month, and DD3 is 6 1/2 and will finish 2nd grade in July. You could skip your son ahead to the material for the next grade up.
Also, I like to use old schoolbooks from before 1950 as I find they were less dumbed-down back then.

I would recommend Veritas Press. They are excellent!! My DD is 6 and advanced as well. I have to buy a grade or two up generally, but not with Veritas Press...they are right on with her. I can get 1st grade level there where somewhere else I would have to get 2nd or 3rd. They are full of color, pictures, easy to pay attention too lessons, and just plain good.
My son,who is 12 1/2, is 2 to 3 grades ahead in math and reads on a college level and is at least 1 to 2 grade levels ahead in the other subjects so I have all different grade level books for him. I pulled him out of school for the same reason. He was bored. It depends on what kind of curriculum you want to use. I use a combo of stuff. I use Abeka for most of my subjects (which is Christian curriculum), I do try to get the older books though in fear that the new ones are dumbed down. If you want to use regular "school" books then I would simply get a grade above where your son was at. I also order a lot of free things off the internet for our lessons. For example, I ordered (for free) a unit on solar fusion and he is doing computer programming classes online that were free. We have done lots of outside projects with bugs and plants and this year we are doing a unit on the Holocaust and a girl who survived the concentration camps, which I had to order but it was completely free (other than my stamp). He also loves to watch the History channel so I let him, as long as it is an appropriate show. He is researching birds right now and loves it. As long as he completes the stuff that is required I let him pick out the other stuff he wants to learn about and if I can't find some curriculum on it I make up our own or just let him research it. He never quits talking about whatever it is he is researching, since it is something he is interested in, so at the end of the day I know exactly what he has learned so there is no need for a test.

England will meet Wales in March and September next year in the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign following a fixtures draw by UEFA.
The most eagerly-anticipated games of Group G will see Fabio Capello's side take on John Toshack's Wales at the Millennium Stadium on March 26 with the return at Wembley on September 6.
England's campaign begins with the first competitive Friday night kick-off at the new Wembley against Bulgaria on September 3.
The new international calendar will see double headers played on Fridays and Tuesdays, and England continue their Group G campaign away to Switzerland four days later and then face a home match against Montenegro in October.
FA officials were relieved the draw has seen England avoid June matches in Bulgaria and Montenegro where the heat could have proved a problem.
They host the Swiss in June and travel to Bulgaria in early September when the temperature is likely to be less of an issue. England finish their campaign away to Montenegro on October 7.
Wales face a tricky start, away to Montenegro on September 3 followed by a home match with Bulgaria the following month.
They travel to Switzerland and are at home to Montenegro either side of their home match against England. Wales take on Switzerland in Cardiff in October 2011 and finish their campaign away to Bulgaria on October 11.
The Republic of Ireland's fixtures in Group B were also decided by a draw and they will open their qualifying campaign away to Armenia. They are at home to minnows Andorra four days later before two tough assignments, at home to Russia on October 8 and away to World Cup qualifiers Slovakia on October 12.
Home and away matches against Macedonia follow in March and June next year before the return games against Slovakia and Russia in the space of five days in September 2011.
Giovanni Trapattoni's side will expect to pick up maximum points from their final two qualifiers, though, away to Andorra on 7 October 2011 and at home to Armenia four days later.

tanny rex pettine sanchez need to go. clean house.
gets canned at the end of this year and his replacement is asked to keep Rex for another year.
However, I know Woody, and I feel that he likes Tannenbaum (Remember the scene in Hard Knocks when Tannenbaum gives Woody all those press clippings about the Jets and Woody loves it?) And being around Tannenbaum a few times I fear that he will effectively convince Woody to give him one more year, which he is on contract for anyway, which would really be disastrous.
Also, why in the heck did we have to extend Sanchez? What a stupid move by Tannenbaum. I'm not sure any viable upgrade over Tannenbaum would even want the job.
tanny rex pettine sanchez need to go. clean house.
No one is going anywhere. They will sweep the next 5 games against putrid competition and miss the playoffs anyway at 9-7. That is all the reason Woody will need to stick with Rex Tanny and Sanchez for another horrible season.
I think Tannenbaum and Sparno get canned.
I think Rex brings in a proven vet at qb and gives Sanchez an extremely short leash knowing it's just a matter of time for Sanchez.
I don't know who Rex can lure as the o coordinator though. The offense is a mess and that person would have to believe they can make chicken salad from chicken sh!t.
Rex is really in a tough spot. He's backed the wrong race horse a couple of times and although he's a good defensive mind, his head coaching growth is extremely painful.
He needs to separate his personal feelings from the business and make decisions with the absence of emotion. Leave your loyalty at home.
I don't know if he can fix it. This hole is pretty deep at this point.
total house cleaning: GM, HC, OC, DC, QB, about 1/2 of the roster
The Jets will essentially be an expansion football team in 2013.
Let the world know this is coming, and see who on this team, from players and coaches, respond.
The word needs to get out the the stewardship of Tanny and his Sports Back Page seat of the pants ways....are over. We do not have time to wait to the end of the season. We don't need vacillating here. This team needs to turn the page starting today.
Rex isn't the biggest problem, though he's been one. The reality is we have had mediocre drafts, bad contracts that don't allow this team the depth it needs. Not to mention selfish self absorbed players that don't understand the concept of team.
Woody needs to do one of two things. Either fire Tanny this off season or sign him to a multi year extension. I want him gone, no doubt about that. The worst thing that could happen would be for woody to 'give him one more year to turn it around' quick fixes and GM moves can only make things worse.
The Jets will essentially be an expansion football team in 2013.[/QUOTE]
They already look like an expansion team now
I agree that Tannenbaum needs to go asap. From there, you let the new GM make the call on the coach. I don't think you fire both at once, forcing a rash mad scramble to put a warm body in the head coaching gig.
If you want to hire a reputable GM who's worth his salt at all, you don't tell him he has to keep Rex.

Before I could answer, I have to ask this: how are you made aware of the behavior? Are you in the meetings and witnessing this first hand? Did someone else tell you about it? Or is the door open and you're overhearing the conversation?Because I think if you're directly hearing the comments, then I might suggest you document each occurrence with the date, time, name of the individual and the offensive comment, and then report to HR.But if you're hearing this second-hand from someone else, I'd be careful. They may have an ax to grind and trying to pull you into their drama. And if your co-workers are gossiping about gossiping, then I would really be careful - I'd probably think the whole department is toxic and I'd start looking for another job, because I don't know if HR could help the situation. Maybe, but I don't know. Is this behavior just the department or throughout the whole company?
Let's say you (in general) work for a company where one of the corporate goals is to promote civility and respect within all levels of the operation. Despite this corporate goal, your superiors routinely engage in gossip and make rude comments about other employees behind their backs. Most of the time, this gossip and commentary occurs during staff meetings that the superiors are leading. You and your coworkers find this gossip and commentary to be distasteful, and none of you are interested in hearing it or participating in it. What would be the most appropriate way to head off such discussion when it begins? Is there a way to address it proactively? Given that it is a superior who is engaging in this behavior, is it appropriate to address it all?
Does this friend work at my company?

Only In My Dreams
Turns out these two inspired a nightmare.
I woke up Monday morning with a very clear narrative about this set of blonde twins, abandoned by their mother in an isolated rural town. The locals quickly adopted them both, as they were the most beautiful children anyone had ever seen. Their beauty hid a psychotic evil, however, and as they grew up, they consumed all the kindness, all the humanity around them (I have also been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer recently). After a few generations, the entire town were all blonde inbred psychopaths. Yeah, lovely stuff.
I had forgotten about the photo I had found a few days earlier, so this dream seemed to come out of nowhere and kind of freaked me out. Now it makes sense.
The photo was found in "Ten Days' Wonder" by Ellery Queen. Published by Little, Brown and Co., 1948.

Just saying.
Hey, maybe people have a reason to use MySQL - a product that only supports that db, or developers who aren't particularly familiar with what relational databases are supposed to be like.

I don't know why this is marked as Funny... there are far too many programs or even webapps (PHP ones in particular) that only work with MySQL.
I don't know why this is marked as Funny... there are far too many programs or even webapps (PHP ones in particular) that only work with MySQL.
The problem is that the Funny mod can't differentiate between when someone is laughing with you or at you.
ubiquitous, well-documented and free... Why would I choose use anything else
Because it's of higher quality?
> Why would I choose use anything else?
Of course, that people probably never wrote a dozen of lines of code, so they never realized that the programmer has one thousand of more powerful ways to corrupt all the application data (sadly, databases are not immune to code bugs despite any imaginative constraints.)
BTW, that same people nev
And if there is a problem, it's well-documented.
Good luck finding it. MySQL has horrible documentation [mysql.com]. The whole structure of it is a mess.
Plus, when you say "and if there is a problem, it is documented". Yeah, that is great, but most of the "well-documented" problems are long-standing bugs for insanely stupid shit.
It does make me laugh though, because honestly, I agree that mysql is well documented. Every random question [google.com] I google for usually has a hit. And funny enough, the top listing is usually a page here [mysql.com]--failing that, at least on the first page of results [google.com].
Why would I choose use anything else?
Because you know better.
It really is a very good database. I just hope more projects start using it. And that more hosting companies will as well.
I am pretty sure that that MySQL still has better client slave replication "Like Slashdot uses" than Postgres. But I could be wrong.
It's not a religious battle, it's about using the best tool for the job. MySQL may be very easy to setup, but just fyi, PostgreSQL is a snap to set up now on Windows or Linux.
Looking for reasons to use PostgreSQL?
Much better index support.
Kerberos or LDAP access controls.
Better native Unicode support.
If you're hog-tied to MySQL because of your software, well so be it. But if you have a choice, the winner should be fairly obvious.
Actually the subject is how your data is supposed to be used.
MySQL users see the database as a program persistance layer. I am not sure WHY they are using something that pretends to be a relational database, but they are. It is the single-app approach (one app, one database).
The PostgreSQL crowd sees data and application as being separate issues. The data in theory should be able to be managed in any of a hundred different applications, all hitting the same database, without causing the nightmares in QA that this sort of thing creates in MySQL.
So is the program what is important? Or is the data there to be used by many programs?
MySQL works OK for one-app databases and many people think that is all that is needed. It breaks down outside that area, however.
The RMDBS crowd sees data and application as being separate issues.
You forgot to broaden your scope. Otherwise, you are correct.
Your database is almost literally your company. It should reflect your way of doing business--any moderately skilled developer should be able to walk into an orginization they know nothing about and using only the database schema, infer pretty much what the company does, and how it does it.
You can always fix flawed software design, but it is almost impossible to fix a flawed database design. Do your database wrong, the growth of your company will be hindered. Do it right, and your company will flourish. No joke.
You know something is wrong when a discussion of MySQL is dominated by comments about PostgreSQL.
Or you're on Slashdot. My guess: when the editors see the MySQL article in the queue, they think, "We haven't had a MySQL/PostgreSQL flamewar in a while. Let's post this!"
Enough with the knee-jerk elitism.
Gee, I remember a time when "Elite" was considered a good thing by educated people.
If I have open heart surgery, I wan an "Elite" doctor.
If I fly on a plane, I want an elite pilot.
If I setup a database, I want an elite database.
Well, we discovered that "elite" is mostly hubris.
Well, we discovered that "elite" is mostly hubris.
I have a problem with the anti-intellectualism in the U.S.A. and it is reflected by this notion that, somehow, elite or an "Elite," is a bad thing.
Everyone has the ability to be elite. It takes time, study, passion, and work. You master a discipline, you attain a substantial amount of knowledge and ability.
Instead of that hard work and ability being recognized, people who do not choose to work, simply dismiss it as "Elitism."
In the software community, softwa
An "Elite" is a person or group that have superlative skills an ability, and are granted enhanced social status on account of this, to wit "I'm good at what I do therefore I should lead/be popular/be recognized." This is probably tolerable.
"Elitism" is a dysfunction where a person or group uses enhanced social status to asserts superlative skill and ability in order to justify their social status and to exclude others. "I'm popular/leading/recognized therefore I am good at what I do therefore I should lead/be popular/be recognized and there ain't no way those dirty punks over there are as good as us, after all they aren't as popular."
And now pretend that you are, like many thousands of other people, hosted in a place that doesn't offer it.
Well, if it's anything big, it's probably a virtual server, so you can install anything you like on it. Event pgsql.
Enough with the knee-jerk elitism.
So wanting a DB that takes things like referential integrity and error reporting seriously is elitist? Bite me.

no, but degrading everyone else that has no interest in using it is. and by the way, how exactly does innodb not take things like referential integrity and error reporting seriously?
but degrading everyone else that has no interest in using it is.
It isn't degrading. When you clean up enough messes left by people who have no business touching a database, it gets fustrating. Especially when things like this are said:
how exactly does innodb not take things like referential integrity and error reporting seriously?
Because InnoDB is only half of MySQL. InnoDB doesn't do fulltext search. If you want fulltext, you gotta go MyISAM. Guess what happens to your cute, cozy referential integrity when half your tables are InnoDB and half are MyISAM? Bye bye! And error reporting? What error reporting? The part where it doesn't tell you "bye bye referential integrity!" and rolls back half your transaction and commits the other half? Or did you mean the part where it automatically adds default values to fields you set not null*? Or were you talking about the part where it thinks invalid dates are valid and doesn't throw an error? Or are those examples only good for Fortune 10(tm) enterprises and not some piddly organization like yours.
No sir, nobody who is a developer that takes their profession seriously would make a claim that MySQL takes anything seriously. They've cleaned up enough MySQL messes, thank you.
[rant]*one of my biggest pet peeves of MySQL... when I say CREATE TABLE(varchar(255) blah NOT NULL) please do not add your own 'DEFAULT ""' to the end--it is considered by some to be rather rude! I can spot MySQL schema's a mile away by this single trait. Anything NOT NULL almost always has a bullshit default value. Got a NOT NULL int--it will have a DEFAULT 0! Got a NOT NULL date, "DEFAULT 0000-00-00", which isn't even a valid date! How is that for taking your data seriously?[/rant]

Sounds like the MySQL devs need a distributed version control system...
If they can't find the real MySQL, sounds like they need a unique identifier with an index...
This calls into question whether it's viable to sell a business based on open-source software.
What did Sun buy exactly? Sales and support?
I was under the impression they got the trademark AND the copyrights, meaning they can release a closed source version.
Don't MySQL developers assign their copyrights to Sun?
What did Sun buy exactly? Sales and support?
A bridge!
Hello Mr Sun CEO, I have a bridge here to sell you! Best deal you'll ever make. Pinky swear.
This calls into question whether it's viable to sell a business based on open-source software.
I was under the impression that MySQL operated with a full-featured, proprietary, licensed, commercial version getting immediate upgrades and support, plus a less-featured open source version with releases of code (ported?) from the full-featured branch that ran some months behind the for-pay version.
If that's right, I'd say Sun bought the whole shebang, including the code and customer bases for the licensed deluxe
For the database server itself, there is no difference between MySQL Community Edition and MySQL Enterprise Edition besides the release schedule. The community edition (aka the regular one everyone uses) has been pared down to 4 releases a year, which are cherry picked from the enterprise releases.
However, the source is completely available for the enterprise releases, and you are able to compile and install them yourself. This is what Percona is doing, for instance (plus some other patches).
With that said, MySQL has other software that comes along with the enterprise edition that is not open sourced to my knowledge. A query analyzer, monitoring, and other goodies. Personally I prefer to find their equivalents in the open source world, but I'm sure some people buy and use these packages.
Oh, yes. The Copyright!
With that, Sun can:
- License the code (non-exclusively) to customers under OTHER licenses than the open source license under which it was released.
- Sue others for infringement when THEY use it in ways not included in the open source license.
- Make derived works that they don't release under the open source license.
These are all things that Sun can now do and no others can (presuming Sun continues MySQL's tradition of keeping the main codebase clean of outsid
Okay.... what he said.
Anyway, I guess Sun's history is plagued with poor business decisions so this MySQL disaster shouldn't surprise anyone.
I think what Sun was trying to buy was a little more respect from the open source community.
(At least, that's what I would prefer to think. There is a distinct possibility that that purchase price was heavily subsidized by a certain large company who is quite aware that the best way to kill a technical project is to feed it huge amounts of money.)
Yeah, they went way too far overboard, of course, to actually get that respect.
But, "'e's not dead yet."
Setting aside the brainless rumors of Sun being bought, if I found myself in charge of making the purchase meaningful, I'd be looking at spinning MySQL back out into an independent company and bringing back as many of the guys who built it as they can. Add a couple of developers with other, non-MySQL, database experience to the team, of course, but give control back to the original developers.
Also, don't ask the original developers to give up their independent products.
The MySQL project needed fresh ideas, and this could be one way to bring fresh ideas in. It'd take a long time to get real return on what they invested, but it would be better than blowing away the whole investment.
Anyway, even if the main branch dies, there will likely be some useful development from the forks.
I don't have any idea what the politics behind all this is, nor do I have enough interest to look it up, but it seems to me that if a company pays $1B for code, then it forks left and right and they're left with nothing but yet another version, that's not going to exactly be a good advertisement for investing in open source. While this outcome is much better than a closed source application being killed off, it still would have been much better if differences could have been worked out and Sun had something for their money.
Actually the message it sends is you can not take control just by buying out one piece of the open source world. For the record Sun is going through the same thing with Open Office. Sun really doesn't understand open source.
The official branch is where ever the big distros decide to pull from.
"The official branch is where ever the big distros decide to pull from."
May I offer a rewrite?
The official branch is where ever the knowledgeable gurus decide to push into.
While i am *not sure* of the details, i am pretty sure that SUNs lawyers did not forget to make very definite regulations for maintainers leaving, forking of etc. As far as i undrstood, sun bought the code *and* the rights. As many people dont understand GPLed code still has an owner. Independent of that mysql may still be a trademark.
So the standard (GPL) way is to rename the project and add the staement that you modified it which *somehow* makes it different from the "official" branch (to define that, that is the branch which does not carry the notice that it was modified and which is published under the prior, maybe (tm)ed, name).
If its GPL then even the non-owners of the code have most of the important rights. I suppose they could have asked employees to sign non-compete clauses, but that would seem pretty silly for a GPL product. Besides which, why would employees of MySQL want to agree to what SUN's lawyers want, unless they were getting paid off for it?
please stand up?
Cuz I'm the real postgre, yes I'm the real postgre
All you other DBs are not relational-y
So won't the real postgre please stand up,
Please stand up, please stand up?
Somehow postgreSQL flows much more lyrically than MySQL.
The real MySQL has learned the first lesson of not being seen: not to stand up.
Hi, my name is
What, my name is
Who, my name is
My Sequel.
...whatever is at www.mysql.com. Look, I'm not trying to be flippant, but when I'm trying to sell the boss on FOSS solutions, I need to send him a link to a site that will give him the warm-fuzzies that demonstrates that a. the tech is solid (typically mention Wikipedia for that one) and b. it's not some fly-by-night operation that will suddenly up and disappear.
I'm not trying to put the other projects down, and I can appreciate why they exist, but this is the exact reason I'm always being laughed out of meetings where they decide to buy an Oracle license, or a Microsoft OS, those guys have the message down (i.e. marketing).
I'm trying to be the in-house cheerleader for what can be done in the free/open-source communities and mixed messages just don't fly to a boss who barely skims the executive summary of whatever glossy lands on his desk any given day.
The pages that come up for "mysql.com" are what I consider to be the "official" version of MySQL.
I didn't even realize the other pages were out there until this article was posted and I started reading the comments.
Not that it matters much -- I'm an http://www.postgresql.org/ [postgresql.org] fan myself.
As someone who has extensive hands-on use of Oracle eBusiness, I can say it's a steaming turd with some authority. Having a vertical CRM/order management/invoicing/everything stack is an easy sell to managers, but what they don't realize is it requires significant effort to align it with your business model.
In short, Oracle is designed to sell and it does work, but only well if you're prepared to spend a fortune implementing it.
Ah, but those steaming turds are just the ticket for a consultant looking to warm his hands.
I'm a consultant, and I love steaming turds!
turds work for the big iron companies too. Like IBM's enterprise solution for anything: sell the client a bunch of overcomplicated rube goldberg contraptions that require a ton of customization and services, big turds for the money sewer.
big turds for the money sewer.
And that's why, as a consultant, I'm always "flush" with cash!
There are a lot of "Oracle required" situations that can be serviced by http://www.enterprisedb.com/ [enterprisedb.com]
They provide an implementation of PL/SQL for PostgreSQL with commercial support.
For starters, the database schema is extremely complicated, much more so than is necessary for most companies. The web interface to eBusiness isn't too bad, although even on big iron it is still pretty slow for a lot of filter and search operations.
The web-launched Java interface takes a LOT of resources per instance; it's very slow on a typical desktop computer. The java interface is MDI, whereas separate windows would be quite a lot easier for users to use. It's also single threaded, meaning one blocking MDI child window blocks the entire eBusiness instance. Clicking the List of Values[...] object is scriptable and in some situations isn't very intuitive. In some cases it will not check the associated field or entered text first, meaning it performs a wildcard search. If done in a field that is populated with hundreds of thousands of records, this can block your eBusiness for 10 or 20 minutes. There is no "break" either, you let it run or you kill it and lose whatever didn't have saved in other MDI children windows.
This is just a short list. There are a lot of reasons Oracle eBusiness is a huge frustration for users and developers.
I would not recommend trying to sell your boss on a FOSS solution that was bought out by a commercial company who is running it into the ground. There's other projects out there (Ex: PostgreSQL) that are better sells.
I'm not trying to put the other projects down, and I can appreciate why they exist, but this is the exact reason I'm always being laughed out of meetings where they decide to buy an Oracle license, or a Microsoft OS, those guys have the message down (i.e. marketing).
You are being laughed out of meetings? Sounds to me like YOU need marketing experience, as well. How are you presenting your OSS solutions? More importantly, if you are in an environment where you are laughed out of meetings, WHY are you present
a. the tech is solid (typically mention Wikipedia for that one)
So do you edit the Wikipedia page just before you tell your boss look at it?
There's been plenty of speculation that Sun was interested more in MySQL from the sales side of things than from the technology one. MySQL had figured out how to sell open-source solutions to people for money successfully, something Sun would like to do more of. The high-profile engineers can jump to other projects on a whim, that doesn't necessarily mean they've lost what they wanted out of the purchase.
What, haven't you people heard of Access??
What, haven't you people heard of Access??
Have you heard of FileMaker Pro??
Yeah, the article really answers its own question. Sun own the MySQL trademark, therefore they own "MySQL". There may be other forks, but they are not "MySQL". The end.
"How many teamsters does it take to screw in a light bulb?" "FIFTEEN!! YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?"

UH Manoa Music Department awards scholarships for the 2008-2009 School YearUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Department Chair
The Music Department of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has awarded scholarships to 59 music students for the 2008 to 2009 school year. Awards are based on academic merit, musical accomplishment, financial need, and service to the department. The scholarship committee awarded general music scholarships as well as scholarships in areas including musicology, ethnomusicology and Hawaiian music, string instruments, voice, piano, and instrumental performance. Award amount ranged from $100 to a full tuition waiver with a $900 per month stipend.
"Many of these scholarships would otherwise not have been possible without thoughtful contributions from individual and organizational donors," said Music Department Chairperson Laurence Paxton. "The department is extremely thankful for the support from the community, especially since higher education budgets alone cannot meet the costs of maintaining a performing arts discipline. "
The UH Mānoa Music Department, one of eight departments in the University's College of Arts and Humanities, serves approximately 190 music majors, including nearly 60 graduate students; and 60 music minors. Approximately another 600 students participate in ensembles such as Asian and Pacific ensembles, bands, and choirs. The department's 22 fulltime faculty members and 30 adjunct faculty members include performers, composers, historians, and music educators who are dedicated to providing an educational experience in the arts that is a unique blend of solid western music tradition with the mix of Pacific region influence and world music heritage, while embracing the uniqueness of Hawaiʻi.

A class is not the only place that we could learn and not the only place that provide us with an education. We could gain knowledge everywhere, it's in the air.
Everyday we will learn something even we don't have any intention to learn. And sometimes, we don't need teachers to teach us we could just learn from ourselves. It's said ; experience is the best teacher. Parents, friends and simple things in life could give us some lessons that we could learn from it.
However, the formal education probably will be held in the class where students are being provided by facilities that ease them to learn in a good condition and it provides us the study atmosphere. Each of us has the right to get that kind of education because everyone should be given a fair opportunity regardless of everything else.
From my personal opinion, it doesn't matter if we couldn't get a perfect education like how the wealthy students got. But the important thing is that we ourselves are really determined to learn, to discover, to educate and to contribute something good to ourselves, family, and country. When we have that determination, we could see opportunity lies in every difficulty.
There is no border for success!

She died Jan. 3 of hypertensive heart disease, according to the coroner's office in her neighborhood. She was 73, according to the membership records officer for the actor's union Equity in Great Britain. Other reference guides put her age at 75. She had no immediate survivors, delaying confirmation of her death.
UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS was produced between 1970 and 1975, drew audiences worldwide and has endured in public television reruns. It had a direct influence on films including Robert Altman's Gosford Park (2001) and shows such as DOWNTON ABBEY now airing on public television.
In the '70s she played the role of Ruby Finch in the British soap opera CROSSROADS, and she twice appeared on the British soap EMMERDALE — in the early 1980s and in the mid-2000s — and each time, her character was killed off. Naomi Tolly, daughter of Enoch Tolly, was killed in a tractor accident. Noreen Bell, a cantankerous villager, was killed off in July 2006.

Can anyone tell me why this is in my journalctl ? Sometimes many times, depending on the application I use,
other times, once or twice in a 5 hour uptime.
From the very limited information you provided, it would seem as though it is trying to create /run/user/1000/gvfs but fails due to permissions issues. Does gvfs work?
The directory is created on boot.

gvfs is what enables your disks to automount within a file manager. So open nautilus, pcmanfm, or whatever you use and see if it allows you to mount an external drive or other partition that is not part of your filesystem.
In my case flash drives and an external HDD work fine.
Yeah, I am unsure if it is all working correctly. I installed gvfs and rebooted to see what is going on. /run/user/1000/gvfs is a directory. So presumable systemd-tmpfiles wants to write something in there. What are the permissions of that directory? also what does the following yeild?
grep /run/user/1000/gvfs /lib/tmpfiles.d/*
You may also want to grep the same thing in /etc/tmpfiles.d, but I imagine you probably have not created any of your own tmpfiles.
grep /run/user/1000/gvfs /lib/tmpfiles.d/*
gives me nothing and yes i haven't made any tmpfiles of my own

to be honest, then I really have no idea why it systemd-tmpfiles would be trying to stat teh gvfs directory. if it is not causing any problems within your system, I would probably not be too increibly concerned. did you try uninstalling and/or reinstalling gvfs?
Well not yet. I do remember gvfs at one point had a directory in my ~home directory.
I deleted that directory and it has not since been created (that was like a month ago).
And since systemd -- it has, I guess, created it as /run/user/1000/gvfs (1000 uid being the first user, which is me).
Wish we could get more input on this.
same errur here. The wierd thing is the permissions of the dir....
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? gvfs
Wow that is funky... I sort of remember gvfs mounting in ~/.gvfs but it has been a while, so I am not entirely certain about that. Actually, I just checked, and that directory still exists in my home folder. I guess my home folder needs some spring (or late summer) cleaning.
same here with systemd. From log file:

Seems to me like a know bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/225361
Shouldn't the folders just be excluded from the systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service routine? Doesn't look to me like the gconf folders should be rm'able by root and I'm not sure if there are plans to ever make them stat'able... so...
Is this a case for a "feature request" at [wherever this service file comes from]?
Or am I misinterpreting what the problem is?
Last edited by whoops (2012-11-25 12:42:44)
I agree with whoops#16, but it is a bit unfortunate that just excluding the /run/user/*/gvfs directories doesn't help, since it's traversing /run/user/* itself which is the problem. Clearly, just telling the bloody thing to stay the <bleep> out of all of /run/user/* DOES work...
There's also a bug-report here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32715
I still have this bug:
[fabio@muletto ~]$ sudo systemd-tmpfiles --clean
stat(/run/user/1000/gvfs) failed: Permission denied
@ fabioamd87:
Just now noticed that someone closed the bug-report from #17 as "fixed" (and I see you requested a reopen). As far as I'm aware, this was "planned" to in fact never be fixed, since the problem is fuse breaking UNIX semantics in a serious way -- and it having done so for ever, which no doubt means they believe they have a good reason to do so.
If I were you, I'd stop caring, and install that /etc/tmpfiles.d/gvfs.conf from the report...

February 3, 2012 > Obama to detail broader housing refinance plan
WASHINGTON (AP), Feb 01 - The Obama administration is trying to fix a stubborn drag on the economy by making it easier for millions of additional homeowners to refinance their mortgages at lower interest rates even if they owe more than their homes are worth, tackling a difficult issue of vital concern in states key to President Barack Obama's re-election.Obama on Wednesday was to draw attention to a proposal he outlined in his State of the Union address to give homeowners with privately held mortgages a shot at record low rates, for an annual savings of about $3,000 for the average borrower. Obama was detailing his plan during a visit to a Northern Virginia community center.The program is the latest administration effort to help homeowners in the face of a massive number of foreclosures and plunging home values that have left millions of borrowers owing more than their homes are worth. The administration plan aims to ease the way toward refinancing for borrowers, who despite good credit have been unable to take advantage of lower rates because they are underwater on their loans or because banks fear they will be left taking losses.The administration proposal faces a major hurdle in Congress. The program would cost between $5 billion and $10 billion, depending on participation, and the administration proposes to pay for it with a fee on large banks. The administration has tried unsuccessfully before to win support for such a tax on large banks.The plan would expand the administration's Home Affordable Refinance Program, which allows borrowers with loans backed by government-affiliated mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to refinance at lower rates. About 1 million homeowners have used it, well short of the 4 million to 5 million the Obama administration had expected. Moreover, many ``underwater'' borrowers - those who owe more than their homes are worth - couldn't qualify.The administration estimates that 3.5 million borrowers with privately held mortgages have high enough interest rates that they would have incentive to refinance under the new plan. That's in addition to 11 million borrowers who have Fannie- or Freddie-guaranteed loans who could be eligible for refinancing under the administration's proposed changes.The new administration plan would permit homeowners to refinance their mortgages into loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration. To qualify, borrowers with privately held mortgages would have to have no more than one delinquency in the six months preceding refinancing. Their loans would have to fall within the mortgage limits set by the FHA in their home counties.Under the program, banks would have to reduce mortgage balances for homeowners who owe more than 140 percent of the value of their homes.The features of the new proposal were confirmed Wednesday by a senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the program ahead of Obama's remarks. The Wall Street Journal first reported the details Wednesday. The Obama administration also plans to announce new industry standards for mortgage servicers, a sort of ``bill of rights'' for borrowers that would protect them in their transactions.Obama also is expected to announce a program that would allow the sale of foreclosed homes by Fannie Mae to investors who would then offer the properties for rental. Administration officials say there is a high demand for rental housing and such a program would also sustain neighborhoods by keeping foreclosed homes from falling into disrepair.Though the administration's preferred means of paying for the program would be through a fee on large banks, administration officials say Obama would consider other means of paying for it.A punctured housing bubble was at the center of the recession, prompting widespread foreclosures and leaving millions of homeowners with houses valued at less than their mortgages. Hit hardest were Nevada and Florida, two states that figure prominently in the presidential campaign and that Obama is counting on winning to secure re-election.Under the refinancing plan, any homeowner current on his or her mortgage could take advantage of historically low lending rates. The average rate for a 30-year mortgage is 3.88 percent.About 11 million Americans - roughly 1 in 4 with a mortgage - are underwater, according to CoreLogic, a real estate data firm. Half of all U.S. mortgages - about 30 million home loans - are owned by nongovernment lenders.

A map of Royal Oak homeowners who filed claims for flooding with the city shows that homeowners living in the southeast section of the city near I-75 and I-696 were hit hardest.
�The map is very telling,� said Mayor Jim Ellison. �For whatever reason, the east end of town was hit hardest. It behooves use to follow up on this and determine why that section got so much flooding.�
The south end of Royal Oak historically tends to have more flooding problems, said Greg Rassel, director of the city�s Department of Public Works.
�The county drain line runs in that area,� he said. �The map speaks for itself.�
Ellison this week said the city hired an outside engineering firm to analyze the city�s sewer system, which also handles storm water. Royal Oak hired the firm before the Aug. 11 rain storm to look into what effect retention basins in the city had on flooding.
The engineering firm is also being asked now to analyze why some parts of the city flood more often and severely than others.
The map showing the locations of homes where owners had filed claims with the city was done using the number of claims that had been filed by Monday.
However, the city�s community engagement specialist, Judy Davids, said Royal Oak is still getting calls for claim forms under state Public Act 222 each day.
�Nothing seems to have slowed down,� she said.
Claim forms under the public act describe circumstances when municipalities are liable for damages from sewer backups. Cities are using the claims for damages to boost their case for state and federal disaster relief.
However, homeowners are unlikely to receive payouts under the public act claims or from FEMA. Municipalities are only liable for damages in cases when there sewage backups are caused by a sewer defect a city knew about and failed to correct. City Manager Don Johnson had said the sewer system functioned as it was designed to but was overwhelmed by the amount of rain water.
FEMA rarely provides financial relief for private owners, Johnson said.
One area of the map where flooding appears to have been the heaviest in Royal Oak is where a county drain leaked under high pressure and washed away a massive amount of sand and dirt beneath Stephenson Highway near Dallas Street. Flooding in the area also knocked out a Michigan Department of Transportation pumping station for I-75
A one-block section of Stephenson is closed and is being replaced.
On the night of the storm a Royal Oak fire engine was traveling along Stephenson just north of the unsafe roadway when it stalled in flood waters.
It turned out that was probably a good thing for the crew on the fire engine, Johnson said.
�Had it continued it probably would have collapsed onto the freeway,� he said.

Someone HAD to replicate the delicious and tempting chipotle chicken sandwich from Panera Bread. We stepped up to the challenge. Did we succeed? You be the judge. (But we totally did!)
1 1/2 tbsp. fat-free mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. adobo sauce (from canned chipotle peppers) or chipotle hot sauce (like the kind by Tabasco)
2 dashes onion powder
2 dashes garlic powder
One 100-calorie flat sandwich bun (like Arnold Select/Brownberry/Oroweat Sandwich Thins)
2 oz. cooked skinless lean chicken breast, shredded or pulled into pieces
1 tbsp. roughly chopped fresh basil
2 thin slices red onion
2 slices plum tomato
1 stick light string cheese, shredded or pulled into pieces
In a medium bowl, combine ingredients for the sauce and mix well. Set aside.
Split bun in half and lay the halves flat, split sides up. Evenly spread half of the sauce onto the bun halves, leaving half of the sauce in the bowl. Set aside.
To the bowl with the remaining sauce, add chicken and toss to coat. Set aside.
Evenly top one bun half with basil, onion, tomato, saucy chicken, and cheese. Place the other half on top, sauce side down.
Bring a grill pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Place sandwich in the pan. Using a spatula, press down gently but firmly to seal the sandwich. Grill until hot and lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side, flipping carefully and pressing down with the spatula to seal.
Cut in half (or not) and enjoy!

We can't explain WHY hot sandwiches are so tempting. Maybe it's the fact that doughy bread, melted cheese, and savory meats are each insanely delicious on their own. Maybe it's that they only become more delicious when you put them together with decadent condiments and veggies. What we can easily explain is HOW the nutritional profiles of these sandwiches get so out of control. Bread? Big calorie contributor. Cheese? Brings the fat. The spreads? Who knows what goes into that stuff?! We do know the chipotle mayonnaise on Panera's Frontega Chicken sandwich has 17g fat per serving. ACK! We also know how to indulge in a toasty, melty, savory sandwich without delving into scary stat territory -- just follow our recipe! Our chipotle spread is incredibly flavorful and WAY lower in fat and calories than Panera's, our cheese is light, our meat is lean, and our bread is super-slim. Panera's version looks a little less tempting now, doesn't it? We thought so...

Reed Valve Keys are built for strength and durability. Upper shafts are made from heavy-gauge, mechanical steel tubing. Curb key ends are machined from solid steel. Valve keys have a telescoping design. When telescoped in, they are under 4 feet long and fit easily in small utility trucks, behind pickup seats, and in car trunks. When telescoped out, lengths of 5 feet to 7 feet are possible. VK10 reaches nearly 10 feet when fully extended. VKEXT shaft is available to extend the keys to over 12 feet. For greater control and versatility, a variety of tools can be used on the end of T handles to turn curb stops. Optional clip-on tools can be used to turn small valve wheels, curb box rods, pentagon bolts, and Buffalo box lids. Reed customers can choose valve keys according to the needs of their systems. The VKA45 is an adjustable valve key for mains with the curb key at a 45 degree angle. This angle provides a visual indication of a ball valve's open or closed status. The handle lines up with the pipe when the valve is in the open position. The handle crosses the pipe (seeming perpendicular) with the valve in the closed position. VK916PENT fits gas company curb stops and lids with its 9/16" pentagon key. VKEXT is an extension bar with three positions that can be used on most Reed valve keys for up to 6 feet (1829 mm) of extra reach. VKKIT uses the VK3 upper shaft to create all VK2 and VK3 variations of valve keys.

This is a spinoff from the "who would you pay to see" thread. It got me to thinking about how many different teams I've seen play, how many Hall of Famers or potenial HOFers, and some dominant performances or special moments I've seen in person.
Teams that I've seen play in person:
Cincinnati Reds
Pittsburgh Pirates
St. Louis Cardinals
Chicago Cubs
Los Angeles Dodgers
San Francisco Giants
San Diego Padres
Colorado Rockies
New York Mets
Philadelphia Phillies
Montreal Expos
Florida Marlins
Atlanta Braves
Texas Rangers
Seattle Mariners
Anaheim Angels
Cleveland Indians
Chicago White Sox
Baltimore Orioles
Tampa Bay Rays
I've seen 20 different teams in person. This year I'll see the Diamondbacks for the first time on Opening Day and then the Red Sox in June for the first time. I'd also like to see the Brewers sometime this season.
Some of the Hall of Famers or potential HOFer's I've seen include:
Ken Griffey Jr.
Edgar Martinez
Ozzie Smith
Eddie Murray
Cal Ripken Jr.
Mark McGwire
Sammy Sosa
Barry Bonds
Rafael Palmeiro
Todd Helton
Vladimir Guerrero
Pedro Martinez
Jake Peavy
Chipper Jones
Andruw Jones
Jim Thome
I've never seen a perfect game or no-hitter but I have seen quite a few walkoff homeruns, a 12 strikeout performance, and such.
-In August of 2002 - against the Padres in old Cinergy Field, I saw the Reds score nine runs in the first inning including two Aaron Boone homeruns in the first inning. He later hit his third HR in the game in the 4th inning.
-Two games later I witnessed my first career walkoff HR as Boone launched a 2-run shot in the 12th inning.
-Another of my greatest games involves Aaron Boone. August 21st, 1999 against the Expos. The Reds were in a middle of a pennant race and were trailing this game 2-1 in the 6th. The Reds loaded the bases up for Aaron Boone. Moments later he cleared them with a grand slam, the first GS I had ever seen in person. One inning later Eddie Taubensee launched another grand slam and the Reds went on to win 9-3.
-In August of 2004 I saw Adam Dunn launch a 535 foot homerun into the Ohio River, the longest HR on record IIRC.
-On Opening Day 2005 I saw Adam Dunn launch two homeruns, the first off Pedro Martinez in the first inning. Pedro settled down after that and struckout 12 Reds hitters in six innings. In the bottom of the 9th the Mets brought in Braden Looper with a two run lead. Kearns led off with a single and a few pitches later Dunn launched his second HR of the game to tie it at six. In stepped Joe Randa...he worked the count full and then homered to left to give the Reds a 7-6 win. This was probably the greatest game I've ever seen in person.
-Wily Mo Pena bobblehead night in June 2005 was another of my favorites. Pena launched two homeruns, including a looooong walkoff HR into the bleacher seats on his own bobblehead night.
-In May of 2006 I nearly witnessed a perfect game. Jon Lieber carried a perfect game into the 7th inning before Dunn lined a two out single into center field. That's the closest I've come to seeing a no-hitter or perfect game.
-Opening Day 2007 was also a great game. Harang threw seven great innings for the win, Dunn launched two homeruns and Josh Hamilton received a standing ovation.
That's all I got.

National Cement Company of Alabama Ragland Plant
80 National Cement Drive
Ragland, AL 35131
Map It!
National Cement Company (NCC) established a cement processing plant in
A program of modernization and expansion was immediately implemented by the company to triple the cement plant?s production capacity while greatly reducing its level of emissions and energy consumption.
In 1976, the long dry kiln was retrofitted, and a preheater/precalciner system was installed, making it the first kiln in the world to be fueled by burning 100% coal. Two years later, a vertical raw mill was installed to recycle exhaust gases from the pyro?processing line, which further reduced the overall energy consumption of the plant.
In keeping with NCC?s commitment to continuous improvement of its energy efficiency at the Ragland plant, a fully-automated packing plant was installed in 1994. In 2006, a state of the art vertical cement mill was installed, which reduces the power used to grind cement by 50 percent. These additions also allow the plant to operate off the peak power consumption hours.
Additionally, during the past 5 years, the plant has focused on reducing its carbon footprint by recycling by-products and raw materials and using alternative materials to replace fossil fuels to fire the kiln.
Based on these conservation efforts, the Ragland Plant was awarded the 2010 ENERGY STAR certification for the first time.

Hobbit movie locations using 6km of data cabling
IT Systems Manager speaks in latest production video blog
Crews working on the two Hobbit movies are doing so with the help of six kilometres of data cabling.
That's one the revelations in the latest official production vlog, featuring IT Systems Manager Nick Trugly who says one of the challenges working on location poses is that "We are a long way from most of the infrastructure we know and love so we have had to rely on satellite technology to do all of our connectivity." Satellite dishes shown in the vlog bear the ipstar logo.
Akshay Parbhu, credited with IT Support, shows off a location where the IT team uses three satellite dishes to provide wireless internet for the crew
One use for this rig is sending footage shot by second unit Director Andy Sirkis to Director Peter Jackson for his perusual, wherever he may be shooting.
Trugly says "so far we have probably used about six kilometres of cable" and confesses that "he is not sure where it has all gone, but we keep ordering more of it."
Helping to keep the data flowing are on-site espresso machines that catering staff say crank out 200 or 300 coffees each morning. ®

I have been using VPNs for many years now. But I would never trust a VPN provider which is headquartered in the USA. And if all these US based providers will be forced to log user data or are forced to stop operations you should look for some offshore providers like yourprivatevpn or purevpn.

But they have wifi
Normandie countryside
4 days of constant rain and wind
6 adults, and 3 children under 4 cramped in a puny 17century home built by Stokes' great great grandfather
3 bedrooms, no hallway. To go to the last bedroom you have to go through the other 2. We of course have the first. Brings a new light to family relationships seeing you overweight Chinese sister in law go through your bedroom in her jamies "good night!"
The worst are the wooden beams Stokes' GGGF installed in vengeance for future jokes. Just high enough to forget about em, but low enough for a grazing/scalping action. After a few encounters you get a little bump which makes for a perfect target for the next time
Merry Fuking Christmas
But they have wifi
Could be worse. Could be at work today.
Why the hell would anyone build bedrooms that can only be accessed by walking through other bedrooms?
Lol, that sounds... interesting. How long are you there for?
In an hour, DVD time for the kids, whiskey time for the adults
"Why that guy keep getting hit? Why don't he throw the ball?? See, he get hit again!! Guy on other team throw ball and score, Jets should do the same!!"
(that, but in a fat Chinese-French accent)
Happy Holidays!!
Crack open the Calva.
How are the meals? You folks cooking or eating out?
No offense, but I just imagine that place smells like a bologna factory on "wear your old sweaty gym socks to work" day.

Skip to comments.Geron drops brain cancer drug, plans layoffs (40% of workforce)
Posted on 12/04/2012 12:24:52 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Geron Corp confirmed it will discontinue development of an experimental drug to treat cancer that has spread to the brain from elsewhere in the body and also cut about 40 percent of its workforce, after patients failed to respond to the drug in a mid-stage study.
The company said it will now focus on the development of another drug candidate, imetelstat, as a treatment for blood cancers and some types of solid tumors.
The brain cancer drug, GRN1005 and imetelstat's development in blood cancers were the only hopes that Geron's shareholders had after the company warned investors in September that it would stop developing imetelstat as a breast cancer treatment.
Geron now has only imetelstat in its pipeline, after dropping its brain cancer drug and exiting stem-cell research in November 2011...

uhh.....article says they are making layoffs because THE DRUG DID NOT WORK in clinical trials. Not due to Obamacare.
Whadju do that fer?
Pharmaceutical companies do this, depending on if their drug is successful in trials or nots.
If you ever want a window into the cut throat ways of the pharmaceutical world, read the forums at cafepharma.com.
No.. I meant that libertarians who make fun of me should lay off
Wow! The comments on this thread make no sense at all. Who are these libertarians and when did they make fun of you. I mean, the fact that a company is discontinuing a product that failed shouldn't be controversial.
It's a play on my name obvious
I know. I am just glad that when I was growing up kids didn't realize that my name meant "old" or "aging" or whatever.
OK. Missed that connection by a mile.
Okay, not so obvious.
It was a play on the name. I know, I'm the one who did it...

The College of Charleston's Board of Trustees voted Friday to begin negotiations with the Colonial Athletic Association for full membership.
Charleston didn't vote to leave the Southern Conference, its present home, only to talk to CAA officials about costs and concerns in leaving one conference for another. A membership vote would come at an undetermined future date.
"Obviously, we're thrilled that they have an interest in the CAA," Commissioner Tom Yeager said, "and we look forward to working with President (George) Benson to address any issues and bring the process to a conclusion as quickly as we can."
The CAA presently has 11 members and will be down to nine after the departures of Old Dominion and Georgia State next year.
Among Charleston officials' concerns are the costs affiliated with departing the Southern Conference and joining the CAA. The SoCon exit fee is $600,000 with one year's notice, and $300,000 with two years' notice. In addition, travel costs for the Cougars' athletic teams would increase in the CAA over the more tightly-bunched Southern.
Yeager would not disclose the CAA's entry fee and said it's actually "a floating figure that's tied to equity and different things."
The CAA could work with Charleston to defray costs. The league has several million dollars in NCAA basketball tournament money to work with as a result of the departures of VCU last summer and ODU after the current year. Both earned NCAA money after multiple appearances, including VCU's Final Four run in 2011.
The NCAA pays out tournament money incrementally. CAA bylaws stipulate that money earned from tournament appearances remains with the conference, should schools leave for other leagues.
"We have strategies that we've shared with everybody," Yeager said, "but we're not going to get into details until we talk with Charleston."
Travel costs are a primary concern for Charleston, given that it would be the CAA's southernmost school after Georgia State departs. A study commissioned by the C of C's Board of Trustees in advance of Friday's vote estimated that travel costs for the Cougars' athletic teams would rise to nearly $1.8 million in the CAA, $587,000 greater than in the Southern Conference.
According to a running report in the Charleston Post and Courier, that estimated increase also was based on the CAA expanding to include a southern tier of schools. Once Davidson officials announced this week that they intended to remain in the Southern Conference, some C of C officials worried that travel costs would increase further.
Yeager said that the CAA has never subsidized travel costs for any of its outlying members.
"I don't think there's any dispute that the travel lines will change for Charleston," Yeager said. But he pointed out that airfares and airlines differ from various airports and cities. A flight from Richmond to Boston, he said for example, might be more expensive than one from Charleston to Boston.
Nearly all CAA schools, with the exception of James Madison, are near sizeable airports, Yeager said.
"Because of the airports in major metropolitan areas, sometimes those airfares aren't as onerous as they sound," Yeager said. "But you still can't move Charleston any closer to Philadelphia. That's just a fact."
Yeager said that Charleston, or any school that comes into the league, becomes a full, revenue-sharing member from day one. He said that a financial windfall is unlikely, though the extra NCAA money, as well as recalibrating the revenue-sharing from 12 schools down to 10 will mean more money to each school.
He mentioned Charleston's quality athletic program benefiting the CAA, and the conference's geographic footprint and television package providing greater exposure to the Cougars' program and school.
Yeager said there is no timetable for how quickly discussions will take place, but the aim is still to add a school for the 2013-14 academic year. C of C athletic director Joe Hull told Charleston-area media that he imagined discussions will move forward quickly.
"We'd like to move as quickly as we can, but we recognize that they have some Southern Conference obligations," Yeager said. "When you get into these things, the conference from where the school's leaving desires to move on, and the school and the new conference want to focus on their partnership and moving forward. It's in everybody's best interest to move as quickly as possible."

A commanding, flamboyant presence in the world of artists and writers in East Hampton and Amagansett from 1948 until 1996, Ingeborg ten Haeff died on May 21 in New York City. She was 95.
Ms. ten Haeff studied acting, singing, and music as a young woman in Germany and started painting after moving to New York in the late 1940s. Her paintings were abstract, but she also felt them as representations of people and human relationships. Ms. ten Haeff's work has been shown in Europe and on the East End, both in group and solo shows.
Clara Ponce de Leon, a friend for more than 40 years, said, ". . . besides the great affection that I always have for her, I also admired her beauty, her unique personality, the power of her paintings, and the beautiful atmosphere she created around her."
Before moving to New York, however, as a young woman of 25 Ms. ten
Haeff married Dr. Lutero Vargas, the eldest son of the president of Brazil, and, knowing no Portuguese, moved to Rio de Janeiro and became a Brazilian citizen. While there she studied sculpture and, in 1944, received a Rockefeller fellowship for study at the Juilliard School in Manhattan.
In 1947 Ms. ten Haeff and Dr. Vargas divorced and she decided to make her life in New York, where J.B. Neumann, who represented Paul Klee and other artists persecuted by the Nazis, offered her a position at his 57th Street gallery. Soon after, she met Paul Lester Wiener, an architect and city planner who had designed the United States Pavilion at the 1937 Paris World's Fair. They would marry, but only after Mr. Wiener had divorced his second wife.
The couple traveled to South America, where Mr. Wiener's firm had begun a series of major city planning projects. Upon their return, they began spending summers in East Hampton, at first in rented houses in Georgica. In 1953 they rented a barn from Jeffrey and Penelope Potter on their Stony Hill Farm property in Amagansett. Mr. Wiener turned the simple barn into a charming, cozy, and spacious living quarters, where Ms. ten Haeff would spend summers for the next 43 years. Mr. Wiener died in 1967.
Ingeborg ten Haeff was born in Dusseldorf, Germany, on July 31, 1915, the second daughter of Emmy Lindenberg and Hugo ten Haeff, a successful businessman in his family's business in the illuminating-gas industry. She grew up comfortably and in a wide circle of friends from all over the world, although her father's death when she was only 5 was a huge blow.
Ms. ten Haeff became a U.S. citizen after marrying Paul Wiener and continued to travel widely and go on art tours. In 1968 Ms. ten Haeff met John Githens, a translator and scholar of Slavic languages who was then teaching Russian at Vassar College. The pair married and continued to travel in Central America, Japan and South Korea, Burma and Indonesia, and Thailand. Mr. Githens survives.
Ignacio Ponce de Leon, a part-time resident of Amagansett for many years, said of Ms. ten Haeff, "Since my childhood, Ingeborg has symbolized all things beautiful and aesthetic. To be in her presence . . . was to feel the power of art on a very human level. She was an embodiment of these things and also a precious human being. . . . We are all unique, but Ingeborg was much, much more unique."
Ms. ten Haeff was tall and carried herself ramrod straight, always dressed stylishly and colorfully. Elizabeth Strong Cuevas, a sculptor and friend, said, "I would say that Ingeborg was a magnificent warrior in life on the side of beauty and truth."
In addition to her husband, Ms. ten Haeff is survived by her granddaughter, Alexandra Hamilton Kimball of Los Angeles, two great-grandchildren, and three nieces, two in Germany and one in Switzerland. Her daughter, Candida Vargas, died in 2003.
Mr. Githens is planning a memorial to be held in East Hampton at a date to be announced.
