Optimization is the process of identifying and eliminating bottlenecks in your TurboGears application and the infrastructure around it to increase performance. You should start optimizing only when your application works, not earlier, and when performance problems arise, not without need. A well-known statement is that "we should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil".
Process of optimization:
Discovery: Generally, Pythonistas say, Python is "fast enough". However as a developers we tend to get carried away. Web applications need to be fast! Users will generally let you know if there is a problem or it will arise in testing.
Isolation: Finding the actual location of the performance issue can sometimes be very difficult. You are dealing with so many variables, networks, disk speeds, algorithms, oh my!
Analysis: There are many possible solutions depending on the problem. We will mostly talk about caching because it is an easy solution that can be a applied at many levels of a web applications.
Implementation: This could be anything, from changing a configuration setting, to writing new algorithms and data types to implement your solution.
Testing: There are many an optimizations that have been done that never actually fix the problem. From experience it is important to replicate your user experience though testing and to be able to measure optimization.
Rinse and repeat: Optimization is a constant process of refactoring problem areas.
To find specific bottle neck locations in TurboGears application you can use the Python profiler. You need to change the last part of the start() function in the <yourpackage>/commands.py module to the following:
from yourpackage.controllers import Root
import profile
profile.run("turbogears.start_server(Root())", 'myapp.prof')
# turbogears.start_server(Root())
Start your application to replicate your user traffic. Then stop the application and open a Python shell:
>>> import pstats
>>> p = pstats.Stats('myapp.prof')
>>> # Cumulative time sort top 25
>>> p.sort_stats('cumulative').print_stats(25)
>>> # Also may find time top 25 useful
>>> p.sort_stats('time').print_stats(25)
Once you have an idea where the bottlenecks are, based on your profiler, you can now write specific performance tests to find out the latency of the bottlenecks. This is a critical part of the process because if you do not know the latency you will not be able to find out if your solution works.
Alternatively, you can use CherryPy's built-in profiler which generates profiling data per request which may be helpful, too. For further information, please read CherryPy changelog for 2.1 (works with 2.3, too). Please note that you have to adapt the config snippet to match ConfigObject's expectations:
profiling.on = True
profiling.path = "/path/to/profile/dir"
Every database has its own optimization recommendations, however, here are general considerations:
SQLObject: You can turn SQLObject's debug mode on buy adding an additional parameter to the connection string. Example:
EXPLAIN: Execute an EXPLAIN query to see the execution plan for your query, then redefine the indices in your database or refactor your queries to optimize.
Here is the link to an article with benchmarks for Kid, Cheetah, Genshi and Jinja:
AJAX itself is a great way to improve the performance of your application, since it can avoid reloading complete pages and instead only reload the relevant parts that have changed, or only the necessary data to rebuild these parts. However, unoptimized Ajax can also cause performance problems and make your application appear as slow to the users.
You will find many articles, books and tools covering this issue. The following article will give you some clues:
TurboGears though CherryPy has the ability to compress its output. This can greatly increase the user experience and decrease bandwidth usage. There is more documentation here:
However, we do not recommend this. If one of the goals is to increase performance of the web application from the users perspective. By compressing all the text (mainly html) from you application then the user will not need to wait as long for pages to load. However, in a high traffic site the compression should be offloaded to a webproxy. Web proxies are faster at compressing and will be serving static content anyway to reduce the load on TurboGears.
A cache is a way to cut down data retrieval time. Generally caches are in memory, which saves the computer from having to retrieve them from the primary datastore, which usually resides on a hard disk and is much slower. The datastore could be a database, on the file system or accessed over the network. Caching may have drawbacks. First, you are trading off memory usage against I/O usage. Lots of caching will need lots of memory. Also, suppose you have a wiki site and cache the wiki pages, if you don't do caching right, a page could get updated and users do not see the update.
Turbogears Caching Layers:
External Proxy: Most heavy traffic sites use an external proxy already because they are much faster and more efficient with computer resources when serving static content than TurboGears. They can also cache web content generated by a TurboGears web application. This is the easiest to setup and probably provides the most performance boost. However, it is hard to inform the external proxy dynamically about when the application's data has changed.
CherryPy filter: This works very much like an External Proxy from the perspective of a TurboGears developer. Check the CherryPy cache filter documentation for more details on how it works.
Template Cache: TurboKid and TurboCheetah both cache compiled templates automatically.
Business object:
Datastore Cache: To find out more about the SQLObject cache system, check out the SQLObject docs.

There some great tools available that will help you optimize your website. Read the following article to get introduced to two priminent tools of this kind:

"Because we acted, students are performing better in reading and math, and minority students are closing the achievement gap. Now the task is to build on the success."
— President George W. Bush
The President's FY 2008 Education Budget builds on the progress of the last six years, focusing on reform and results. It will strengthen the No Child Left Behind Act so more students benefit from accountability and high standards. It will prepare high school students for success through more rigorous and advanced coursework. It will help close the achievement gap by encouraging good teachers to serve in challenging environments and by giving states new tools to fix underperforming schools. It will offer new tutoring and choice options so parents can meet their children's educational needs. And it will enable millions of young Americans to afford college. The $56 billion Education Budget invests wisely on the priorities of students, schools and taxpayers.
Highlights of the President's 2008 Budget Proposal
No Child Left Behind Act
After five years of the No Child Left Behind Act, educators and policymakers have learned more about how to improve student achievement than ever before. Across the country, test scores are up and the achievement gap is narrowing. As NCLB comes up for reauthorization, we must strengthen and build on this progress by focusing new resources to meet the greatest needs, including improving the performance of high school students and fixing troubled and underperforming schools. The President's Budget increases total funding for NCLB by $1.2 billion, to $24.5 billion, a 41% increase since 2001. This includes:
- Title I Program—$1.2 billion increase—$13.9 billion total—up 59% since 2001
Resources to high schools serving large numbers of low-income students will be significantly boosted, while funds for Title I elementary and middle schools will be protected. This would more fairly distribute Title I resources throughout the K-12 system.
- State Assessment Systems—$412 million
The funds will support the continued annual assessment of students in reading and math in grades 3-8 and high school. Funding can also be used to develop science assessments in three grade spans that States must administer by the 2007-08 school year, and for new course-level academic standards and assessments for high school students to prepare them for college and the workplace.
- English Language Acquisition Support—$671 million—up 50% since 2001
The funds will help the nearly 6 million limited English-proficient (LEP) students learn English and other subjects so they can achieve academic and economic success.
School Restructuring and Parental Choice
Before No Child Left Behind, parents were given few options when their child's school underperformed. Now, low-income families in Title I schools may qualify for free tutoring and the choice to attend another public school or public charter school. Nearly 450,000 students have chosen this path. Still, the demand for more choices and change is growing. The President's FY 2008 Education Budget invests $500 million to help states turn around the performance of chronically underperforming schools, and $300 million to provide new options, including public and private school choice, for students in those underperforming schools.
- Title I School Improvement Grants Program—$500 million
This will help States restructure, reform and restaff chronically underperforming schools. Added to the current four percent reservation of Title I Grants to local educational agencies (LEAs) for school improvement efforts, it would significantly increase funding to aid students in the nation's 10,000 schools in improvement, corrective action or restructuring status.
- Promise Scholarships—$250 million
Under the President's FY 2008 Budget, public schools that have consistently underperformed for five years and are in the process of restructuring will offer Promise Scholarships to low-income students. Averaging about $4,000, the money will follow the child to the public, charter or private school of his or her choice. Students selecting intensive tutoring as an option will receive scholarships of up to $3,000.
- Opportunity Scholarships—$50 million
Modeled after the federally funded D.C. Choice Program, Opportunity Scholarships will enable children to attend the private school of their choice or receive intensive tutoring. Competitive grants will be targeted to areas with a large number of schools in improvement status to give students yet another option to succeed.
American Competitiveness InitiativeOur schools helped make the 20th century the American Century. But in the 21st, the rest of the world is catching up. U.S. graduation rates are slipping relative to other developed nations, due in large part to lagging scores in science and math, the new currencies of the world economy. We must give our students the technical and problem-solving skills to succeed in this competitive global marketplace. Integral to this effort is the President's American Competitiveness Initiative, elements of which will receive $365 million under the President's FY 2008 Budget, to help strengthen math and science instruction so our students can stay on the right academic track. This includes:
- Math Now for Elementary School and Math Now for Middle School Programs—$250 million
These programs will employ proven, research-based instructional methods—based in part on findings of the National Math Panel—to help ensure that all children can take and pass algebra and other advanced courses.
- Expanded Advanced Placement Programs—$90 million increase—$122 million total
Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs will be expanded in math, science and critical foreign languages to prepare more students for higher education. Grantees will match funds two-to-one.
- Adjunct Teacher Corps—$25 million
This will encourage qualified professionals to serve as adjunct high school math and science teachers in low-income schools and districts, where students are less likely to have teachers with adequate subject-matter knowledge in math or science.
Helping Students with Disabilities
- Special Education Grants to States Program—$10.5 billion—up 66% since 2001
NCLB is committed to helping students with disabilities reach their full potential. This funding will help districts improve the academic achievement of these students under the highest possible standards.
Resources for Teachers and Schools
Teachers are critical to improving student achievement. The President's FY 2008 Budget provides nearly $4.4 billion to improve teacher quality. Through the Teacher Incentive Fund program, teachers who show real progress in raising test scores or closing the achievement gap will be rewarded. The best teachers will be offered financial incentives to serve in the most challenging educational environments. And programs such as Reading First and Striving Readers offer the professional development and instruction needed to build on our progress.
- Proven Reading Instruction—$1.1 billion
This includes $1.0 billion for the Reading First Program, and $117 million for Early Reading First. Reading First is the largest, most successful and most focused early reading initiative in American history, providing more than 100,000 teachers and 1.8 million students with training and instruction in proven, research-based methods so every child can learn to read by grade three.
- Striving Readers Program—$100 million—up $68.4 million
Students with poor reading skills are far more likely to drop out of school, joining the million who do so every year. We must reduce this number. Striving Readers provides targeted, intensive instruction to help struggling readers in grades 6-12 catch up to their peers and reach grade level, reducing the dropout risk.
- Teacher Incentive Fund—$199 million
This fund will enable States and districts to financially reward educators making progress in raising student achievement or closing the achievement gaps, as well as teachers who choose to serve in the neediest schools.
- Educational Research Funding—$162.5 million
This will support research, development and dissemination of information to ensure students and teachers continue to benefit from sound, research-based programs.
- Statewide Longitudinal Data Grants—$49.2 million
This will help State educational agencies develop longitudinal data systems that will enable them to more closely and accurately monitor student achievement, graduation and dropout rates.
Affordable Higher Education
A college degree, once merely desirable, has become essential to many Americans' future. Last year, Secretary Spellings launched an Action Plan for Higher Education to improve the performance of our colleges and universities, making them more accessible, affordable and accountable. The President's FY 2008 Budget provides $21 billion over the next five years to ensure that higher education continues to be on the leading edge of America's competitiveness. This includes:
- Pell Grant Program—$15.4 billion—76% increase since 2001
This will support 5.5 million recipients in the 2008-09 school year. It includes a $550 increase in the maximum Pell Grant award to $4,600, representing the largest growth in the maximum grant (14 percent) in more than 30 years. An additional $800 increase in the maximum Pell Grant would be made over the next five years, to $5,400 in fiscal year 2012, representing the largest-ever five-year increase. Since 2001, an additional 1.1 million students have been able to afford college through increases in the Pell Grant amount.
- Academic Competitiveness & National SMART Grants—$1.2 billion—increase of $390 million over FY 06
Academic Competitiveness Grant levels would increase by 50 percent, enabling an estimated 662,000 Pell Grant-eligible students who completed a rigorous high school program of study to receive up to $1,125 (up from $750) for the first year of college and up to $1,950 (up from $1,300) for the second year. National SMART Grants would provide grants of up to $4,000 to an estimated 93,000 low-income, high-achieving college juniors and seniors majoring in math, science, technology, engineering or critical foreign languages. This will help set these individuals—and their nation—on the course to a brighter future.

The Democratic Republic of Congo is at the center of a very tough neighborhood. When Congo is weak, as it has been for the past two decades, it is open to manipulation by smaller, stronger nations. In August 1998, several nations, led by Rwanda and Uganda, invaded Congo to chase out rebel forces who had launched the 1994 Rwandan genocide. In the process, they kicked off a massive international war that ousted then-President Mobutu Sese Seko and killed an estimated 5.4 million people. That death toll makes Congo's war the deadliest since World War II. If Congo becomes politically stable, it could help reduce tensions throughout the region.

Jackie Chan will play the wise kung-fu master in a Hollywood-Chinese remake of the 1984 hit "The Karate Kid" that kicked off filming in the Chinese capital at the weekend, a movie company publicist said Monday.
Chan's young disciple in "Kung Fu Kid" will be played by Jaden Smith, the son of Hollywood superstars Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, China Film Group spokesman Weng Li told The Associated Press in a phone interview.
In "The Karate Kid," Pat Morita plays the iconic building handyman Mr. Miyagi who trains one of his young tenants, portrayed by Ralph Macchio, into an accomplished fighter.
The co-production between the state-run China Film Group and Columbia Pictures started shooting Saturday in Beijing, Weng said.
"Kung FuKid" is being directed by Harald Zwart, who also directed "One Night at McCool's" and "The Pink Panther 2," Solon So, the chief executive of Chan's company, JC Group, told the AP.
Chan and Smith, along with Smith's parents and sister Willow, attended a traditional Chinese ceremony to mark the start of the shoot Saturday. Photos on China Film Group's movie news Web site show the Smith family and Chan holding incense sticks.
Will Smith — one of the film's producers — Chan, Zwart and others symbolically removed a piece of red cloth covering a movie camera, after which Smith gave Chan a hug, according to video posted on Chinese news Web site Sina.com. His hair done in a huge Afro and wearing a bright red track jacket and blue pants, Jaden Smith stood and waved when he was introduced. His father ruffled his hair when he sat down.
Chan said on his Web site he also attended the younger Smith's 11th birthday party last Wednesday, where he and Will Smith posed for pictures with young performers wearing red and yellow costumes with dragon patterns.
Ken Stovitz, one of Will Smith's partners in the production company Overbrook Entertainment, said at the ceremony Saturday that "Kung Fu Kid" will be set in modern-day Beijing. China Film Group chairman Han Sanping said shooting will last three months.
Chan juggles careers in Hollywood and Chinese-language film. The veteran 55-year-old Hong Kong action star will be seen in the upcoming the Hollywood action comedy "The Spy Next Door," about an undercover Chinese spy whose cover is blown, and the Chinese production, "Big Soldier," about the friendship between two soldiers set in China's ancient Qin dynasty.
Jaden Smith costarred with his father in the 2006 movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" and appeared in the 2008 Keanu Reeves sci-fi movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still."

Phil Mickelson Speaks out About Tax Rates, May Make 'Drastic Changes'January 21, 2013
Even though Brian Gay shot a final-round 63 and won the Humana Challenge in a playoff over David Lingmerth, and Charles Howell III, Phil Mickelson stole the show and the headlines with his "drastic changes" comment about US tax rates.
According to Golf Channel's Ryan Lavner, while talking with the media after his round on Sunday, Mickelson said:
"There are going to be some drastic changes for me because I happen to be in that (tax) zone that has been targeted both federally and by the state and, you know, it doesn't work for me right now, so I'm going to make some changes".
Mickelson went on to add:
"My tax rate is 62-63 percent, so I've got to make some decisions on what I'm going to do".
Mickelson and his family reside in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. California's Prop 30, which passed after last November's elections, prompted his comments.
According to the California Voter Information Guide's website, Prop 30:
Increases taxes on earnings over $250,000 for seven years and sales taxes by ¼ cent for four years, to fund schools.
According to a Sacramento Bee report, the tax rate bump is more significant for California residents making more than $1 million:
And for the sliver of Californians who make more than $1 million, their new tax rate hits 13.3 percent, almost a 30 percent rate hike above their current rate.
It is estimated that Mickelson earned $47 million in 2012, according to Forbes.com. His 62-percent tax rate still leaves $18 million to pay for groceries and put into his IRA.
Most of America just can't relate to this type of problem, particularly when the 2011 national median income was just over $50K.
The GolfChannel.com report says that Mickelson is expected to expand on his comments this week at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in his hometown of San Diego.
It's unclear what he meant by 'drastic changes.' Could this be a hint at retirement? Or simply a move to a different state, like say, Florida?
No matter what he meant, Mickelson will take a lot of heat for these comments. Why would he open himself up to this abuse?
Mickelson raises some interesting questions that Congress and state governments are trying to deal with right now. Is this something that a professional golfer should be bringing to media attention at a major tournament?
Professional golfers are generally viewed as conservative, white-collar and Republican. Do Mickelson's comments really exude the image that the PGA Tour wants to project?
It is doubtful that his managers and even PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem are too excited about Mickelson making a political statement, let alone at a golf tournament.
Mickelson has been one of the most popular golfers of all time. Will this negatively impact his popularity throughout the golf kingdom? Possibly in the short run it will hurt, but higher-income individuals may actually applaud his remarks.
Mickelson is a very astute and media-savvy guy. He knows exactly what kind of reaction his comments in the press will create.
Professional athletes like Phil Mickelson have millions of followers. Why do you think they are able to garner millions of dollars in endorsement fees during their career? In this instance, a professional athlete is using his celebrity status to make a point about taxation.
Whether you agree with him or not, maybe he can get a real discussion started concerning taxation in America.
Or maybe he'll just be relentlessly skewered for complaining about taxation when he's making more in a year than most Americans will see in a lifetime.

Our cars: Jaguar XF Sportbrake update
* Video update of our first month with long-term XF * Sportbrake faces tough competition from BMW * Does it balance style and practicality?...
The Jaguar XF Sportbrake 2.2D arrived on the What Car? long-term test fleet a month ago, so it's time for a video update to report on its progress.
Despite being on sale in saloon form since 2007, Jaguar only recently added an estate variant to take on the competition from Audi, BMW and Mercedes.
Has Jaguar managed to successfully blend style with practicality in the Sportbrake? What Car?'s database editor, Mark Pearson, is running the car for a year to find out just that. See how Mark and his family get on with the XF Sportbrake through weekly updates.
Our car features the more powerful of the Jaguar XF's 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel engines. With 197bhp and 332lb ft, it has more than enough power and torque to cope with the kind of heavier load you tend to throw into the back of an estate.
There's no significant emissions penalty for running the more powerful car even on 18-inch alloys our car emits only 139g/km of CO2. Government average economy is 54.mpg, although What Car? True MPG suggests this will be nearer to 42.7mpg in real-world driving conditions.
We specified Sport trim for our XF Sportbrake, with items such as rear parking sensors, a powered tailgate, privacy glass, automatic bi-xenon headlights and automatic headlamp washers included as standard.
We also delved into the options list for items including, metallic paint (650), folding heated side mirrors (430), front parking aids and reversing camera (500), heated front seats and heated windscreen (570) and a mild upgrade to the sound system (590).
The list price for the Jaguar XF Sportbrake 2.2D 200 Sport is 37,440, but with our options the final bill was 40,180. For that sort of money, you could get a (admittedly underequipped) BMW 525d Touring SE, so the Jaguar certainly needs to prove itself during the year.
Watch the video to get Mark's verdict on the first month with our long-term Jaguar XF Sportbrake.

MOUNTAIN VIEW — Citing a constitutional right to free speech, Google (GOOG) asked the secretive U.S. foreign intelligence court Tuesday for permission to tell the public how many national security data requests the company receives from federal authorities, separate from routine law enforcement requests.
"Google's reputation and business has been harmed by the false or misleading reports in the media" about government data-gathering, "and Google's users are concerned by the allegations," the company said in a court filing. "Google must respond to such claims with more than generalities."
Civil liberties groups applauded the legal motion from the Internet giant, which has balked at the government's restrictions on disclosing national security requests.
"Other companies should follow suit," the Electronic Frontier Foundation said in a Twitter post Tuesday afternoon. But other companies' reaction was muted. A source at one Internet company suggested that a lawsuit might be cumbersome and slow down the disclosure process.
Google and other Internet companies have said they want to provide more information in part to dispel the impression that government agencies have broad access to Internet users' online activities. That notion was raised by initial news reports in The Washington Post and the British newspaper the Guardian about a government surveillance program known as Prism, which suggested that the National Security Agency is able to tap directly into the servers of Google and other leading Internet companies.
Internet companies have denied that the government has direct access to their servers, but Google and the other companies have acknowledged that they provide information when they are legally required to comply with government requests.
"We have long pushed for transparency so users can better understand the extent to which governments request their data," Google said Tuesday, noting that it was the first company to win permission to report how many requests it receives under one national security law, the Patriot Act.
But companies have not been allowed to report on a second type of request, made under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA. The Prism program operates under FISA authority. Federal authorities only agreed last week that companies could report on FISA requests if they were included in a broad total of all requests from local police and other government agencies.
In recent days, Yahoo (YHOO), Apple (AAPL), Facebook and Microsoft have issued reports that complied with that requirement, even though critics have said the gross numbers do not provide a clear picture of what kinds of requests the government is making.
"Greater transparency is needed," Google said Tuesday, "so today we have petitioned the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to allow us to publish aggregate numbers of national security requests, including FISA disclosures," separately from other types of requests such as those coming from local police.
The Washington, D.C.-based court has jurisdiction over government intelligence programs and operates mostly in secret.
But in its filing, Google argued: "These matters are of significant weight and importance, and transparency is critical to advancing public debate in a thoughtful and democratic manner."

JAN 15 Gallery Talk: Curator's Choice—"Workt by Hand"
Learn how quilting's collaborative craft tradition reveals American history.
Looking for some artistic and intellectual nourishment during your lunch break? Join us on Wednesdays throughout the winter for short gallery talks to explore highlights from special exhibitions and NMWA's collection with museum staff.
This week, Chief Curator Kathryn Wat discusses selections from "Workt by Hand": Hidden Labor and Historical Quilts.
Over time, quilts have been revered as nostalgic emblems of the past, dismissed as women's work, and hailed as examples of American ingenuity. This exhibition breaks new ground by examining quilts through the lens of contemporary feminist theory. Revealing this medium's shifting cultural status, the exhibition explores issues of anonymity versus authorship and fine art versus craft. The display showcases 35 18th–20th-century quilts from the Brooklyn Museum's renowned decorative arts collection.

My interest in genealogy started when I was a child. My dad's mom use to tell me that the family history book had been burned in a fire, but she knew we were related to Daniel Boone. I never forgot that, nor have I ever found the connection haha. Along with doing genealogy I spend a lot of my time doing photo restorations, namely for victims of Sandy through Care for Sandy, and also of family photos that I add to the books I write on our family history.

You can find graves to famous people as well as submit searches for your ancestors. This is also a great community. There are many volunteers on this site willing to take still photos of graves. All you have to do is make a request for a still photo.
A really unique aspect of this site that sets them apart from all the other grave search sites it that you can leave a memorial for anyone. You have flowers and other items available that you can leave and then type a little message to them. I used this feature for the ggggg grandfather of my children, Jesse Chisholm. I was able to leave a message about the wonderful man he was and flowers as well. This is just really nice when you don't live near by.
The reason I am posting about this site tonight is it ties in with my series of posts about forums. I just discovered tonight that this site has a forum. Which is great for others interested in cemeteries, their history, preservation, residence, and more. So I joined the forum tonight. I will most likely spend a lot of time there. Every since I was a child cemeteries have always fascinated me. The history that is there. The lives that were lived and lost. It was never a scary place to me, but intrigued me. I've also volunteered to do still photos for cemeteries in my area of Kootenai County, ID.

The site posted my deceased wife's information. She passed away in 2006, unexpectedly at age 34. The information was posted by a stranger. The site has refused my request to remove the information. Beware, strangers can post anything to the site about your loved one. Until you have experienced it, I am sure you will not understand.

jpattonfd, I'm sorry that you have had a bad experience, and you're right I probably don't understand. If all they posted was basic information then I don't see the harm in it. If it was something that tarnishes your wife's reputation then I'm sorry and that's not right.
As a genealogist looking for my ancestors and other family members I still have found this site a valuable asset in my arsonal of tools.
I hope you are able to resolve your issue with them.

BALTIMORE – UMBC women's basketball's freshmen posts Sara Tarbert (Delta, Pa./Kennard-Dale) and Amanda Hagaman (Manasquan, N.J./Manasquan) combined for 25 points and 17 rebounds, but it was not enough to guide the Retrievers past UMES, as the Lady Hawks drained 12 three-point baskets on the afternoon to defeat UMBC, 68-45, on Saturday afternoon's non-conference matchup at the RAC Arena.
Tarbert, the America East Player of the Game for the third consecutive contest, grabbed her third-straight double-digit performance of her young career and became the first Retriever to lead UMBC in points, rebounds and assists in a game since Erin Brown did so at Towson on Nov. 27, 2011. Hagaman scored eight points and pulled down eight boards off the bench, while freshman guard Taylor McCarley (Bowie, Md./Academy of Holy Cross) made her first collegiate start in the contest and finished with 10 points on four-of-eight shooting from the floor.
The Retrievers fall for the second time in four days to move to 1-2 on the year, while UMES garners its first victory of the 2013-14 campaign.
UMES took control from the tip, as junior guard Shawnee Sweeney hit back-to-back threes to open the contest and junior guard Jessica Long added one of two free throws to put the Lady Hawks out in front, 7-0. Five of UMBC's 22 turnovers came in the opening 2:36, but the Retrievers able to get on the board as sophomore center Bridget O'Donnell (Belle Mead, N.J./Montgomery) hit Tarbert for one of her two assists on the afternoon.
The Lady Hawks would go on to hit four of their first five shots from beyond the arc to take a 13-4 advantage with 15:05 to go in the half. UMES would build up its lead to as many as 11, before Hagaman would come off the bench to provide a spark for the Retrievers. The rookie center helped the black and gold to trim down its deficit to five, 21-16, over the ensuing five minutes, not only by scoring four points, but by pulling down a pair of offensive boards, drawing a UMES foul on a defensive rebound and dishing out a pair of helpers for the Retrievers.
McCarley registered two of her 10 points to with 5:15 to go in the period to bring UMBC within three, but UMES, who had not made a three since the 15:05 mark, drained back-to-back threes in the midst of an 11-2 run to close out the half with a 32-20 advantage.
UMES extended its run into the second half, scoring 10 of the first 12 points of the period. The Lady Hawks would lead by as many as 20 before the Retrievers looked to make the comeback behind Tarbert, McCarley and Hagaman. The freshmen trio would bring UMBC back within 10, 47-37, with 9:14 to go in the half.
The Retrievers hung around, but were unable to bring the deficit into single-digits before Sweeney rattled off seven consecutive points, including treys and two straight possessions to extend the lead back to 20-points, 62-42, and put the game out of reach for the black and gold.
Sweeney was one of four Lady Hawks to finish with double-digit points. The junior guard hit seven of UMES' 12 treys for a game-high 22 points, while sophomore forward Ashleigh Claybrooks took home the game's only double-double, with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Thirty-eight of UMBC's 45 points came in the paint, but the Retrievers hit one of seven attempts from three-point range in the contest and surrendered 17 offensive rebounds on the afternoon.
UMBC returns to action on Wednesday, Nov. 20 when it hosts American in a Retrievers' basketball doubleheader at the RAC Arena. The women open up the evening with a 5 p.m. tip-off, followed by the UMBC men taking on Loyola at 7:30 p.m.

Dogs - FAQs
Can animals see colour?
Animals only see in black and white Myth It was once thought that animals, including cats and dogs, could only see in black and white. However, scientists have proven this to be a myth. In all
Chewing - Why do dogs chew?
Chewing is a normal behaviour for puppies to investigate their environment. Dogs that chew may also be scavenging for food, playing, teething or satisfying a natural urge to chew and gnaw
Do dogs need clothes in winter?
With the growing popularity of canine fashion, we are often asked, does my dog need something warm to wear in winter?
Does a cold, wet nose mean your pet is healthy?
A cold, wet nose is just one sign of wellness in cats and dogs and should not be considered in isolation as an indication of overall health. On occasion you will find a healthy pet with a warm dry nose, and on the other hand a sick pet with a cold, wet nose.
Does cigarette smoke harm your pet?
Dogs with long noses are at an even greater risk of developing certain nasal and sinus cancers, as they expose more tissue to the carcinogens when they inhale. Cats exposed to secondhand smoke have an increased...
Grass - Why does your pet eat grass?
One of the more common theories is that dogs, in particular, use grass for medicinal purposes to help them vomit. Other claims include eradicating intestinal parasites, a result of a dietary deficiency or just because they enjoy the taste of it.
How do you keep your best friends around as long as possible?
The answer is early diagnosis and treatment which can be achieved by visiting your veterinarian for twice yearly check-ups. Dogs and cats age much faster than we do and as a result, health problems progress much more rapidly.
Is it ok to feed your cat or dog milk products?
Similar to humans, dogs and cats can suffer from lactose intolerance and unfortunately for our companions it is a very common problem. Lactose intolerance is essentially the absence of the beta lactamase enzyme which assists in the breakdown of sugar found in milk.
Lawn care - how do you stop your lawn from turning yellow?
Studies have shown that the nitrogen content and concentration in your dog's urine causes the yellowing or burning that results in dead patches in your lawn. Female dogs are the major culprits, as they tend to urinate in the same place in large volume puddles.

Should you be concerned if your pet eats a rat or mouse?
Whilst catching a mouse or a rat may be a natural activity for cats and in some cases dogs, eating rodents can have undesirable consequences. These can include contracting intestinal worms, the disease toxoplasmosis and secondary rat bait poisoning.

A polling firm has recorded its highest ever support for Scottish independence with less than 10 weeks to go to the referendum.
A total of 41% of people said they support Scotland leaving the UK in the latest poll by Survation - up from 39% last month.
But support for a No vote also increased by two points, going from 44% in June to 46% in the July survey, which was carried out for the Daily Record newspaper.
Of the 1,013 Scots who were questioned for the research, 13% said they do not know how they are going to vote on September 18.
When these undecided voters are factored out, the survey put support for staying in the UK at 53%, with 47% backing independence.
The research also found that one in five (20.9%) of those questioned have fallen out with a family member, friend or workmate as a result of the referendum debate.
Polling expert Professor John Curtice, of Strathclyde University, said the research seems to show "the Yes side did indeed make some further progress".
But in a piece on the What Scotland Thinks website, he added: "With little more than two months to go to polling day, even a pollster such as Survation that paints a relatively optimistic picture for the Yes side still puts No ahead. That suggests Yes need to make more progress soon if victory is to look at all like a realistic prospect."
Blair Jenkins, chief executive of the pro-independence Yes Scotland campaign, described the latest poll as "extremely encouraging".
He said: "'This is the highest level of support for Yes so far in the Daily Record/Survation polls, and is extremely encouraging - only a 3% swing is required to produce a Yes majority in September.
"It confirms that the Yes message is getting through - that Scotland is an exceptionally wealthy country, more prosperous per head than the UK, France and Japan - but that only with independence can we make our wealth work for all the people."
Mr Jenkins added: "In line with Yes Scotland's calls for a courteous and respectful debate, it's heartening that four out of five people say they have had no arguments with family or friends over referendum issues."
Blair McDougall, campaign director of the pro-UK Better Together group, said: "This is the biggest decision we will ever take as a country so it's no surprise that passions are running high. The choice we face is clear - we can keep our family of nations together by staying in the UK or we could go it alone by turning friends, neighbours and relatives living elsewhere in the UK into foreigners.
"This is the third poll in recent weeks to show an increase in support for Scotland staying in the UK. As we get closer to the vote, Scots are thinking seriously about the consequences of separation for our pound, pensions and public services. There is a better way than separation and that's the case we will be making right up until the polls close on September 18.
"As part of the UK we can have the best of both worlds for Scotland - a strong Scottish Parliament, with the guarantee of more powers for Scotland, backed up by the strength, security and stability of being part of the larger UK. We should say no thanks to putting that at risk in September."
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Python regius
Country of Origin: Africa - from Senegal, Sierra Leone, Ghana to Cameroon, Chad and Sudan
Royal, or Ball Pythons are the smallest of the African pythons and typically reach no more than 4ft in length with females growing larger than the males. Royal pythons inhabit grasslands, savannahs and wooded areas across much of the African continent.
They take the name Ball python from the unusual defensive behaviour where they curl up into a ball around their heads when threatened. They are a fairly long lived snake with some known to live to 40 years and the oldest recorded animal reached 48 years old.
Royal pythons a revered by the Igbo people of Nigeria and are treated with great care and respect. If a snake enters a village it is given free roam or is gently removed. If a Royal python is accidentally killed, many Igbo communities will build a small coffin for the snake and give it a short funeral.
Royal pythons are a naturally docile animal and slow moving which makes them easy to handle and therefore a good beginners snake.

How to Set Up Your Nexus 7
The final act of setting up your Nexus 7 tablet is to tell it a bit about yourself. Specifically, you need to coordinate your Google account with the tablet. Doing so gives you mobile access to your Gmail, Calendar, YouTube, and other, myriad Google accounts. Further, you need to set up some other tablet features, such as your language, the Wi-Fi networking connection, and location services.
If initial setup was already done for you by the friendly salespeople where you bought your Nexus 7, you're good to go. Otherwise, the account setup adventure begins by turning on the Nexus 7 for the first time. Heed these directions:
Press the Power Lock button.
You may have to press it longer than you think. When you see the text Google appear on the screen, the Nexus 7 has started. (You can release the button.)
Unlock the Nexus by dragging the Unlock button out toward the unlocking ring.
To drag the button, touch it with your finger. Keep your finger on the touchscreen and drag down, left, or right. The unlocking ring doesn't appear until you move the Unlock button. Lift your finger when the Unlock button changes.
Normally when you unlock the Nexus 7, you can start doing things. (That discussion comes later.) Because you're starting the tablet for the first time, you have to run through the setup process. The first thing to do is to tell the Nexus 7 which language to use.
Optionally, choose your language.
On the tablet's screen, it says English (United States). If you need to change the language, touch the Menu triangle (shown in the margin, and found in the lower-right corner of the Language button) to choose another language.
Touch the Big Triangle button to proceed.
The triangle button is shown in the margin.
The next step is to set up the Wi-Fi connection.
Choose a Wi-Fi network.
Assuming that a Wi-Fi network is in range, select it on the screen. Or when you see multiple Wi-Fi networks available, pick the one you use most often.
When the Wi-Fi network name doesn't show up, touch the Plus (+) button at the bottom of the screen, next to the text Other Network. You can always add more Wi-Fi networks later, so skipping this step is okay.
Type the password using the keyboard that appears on the screen.
Touch the Connect button.
Watch in amazement as the tablet connects to the wireless network.
The next step is to configure your Google account, associating it with the Nexus 7. If you don't yet have a Google account, get one!
If necessary, obey the directions on the screen to sign in to your Google account; fill in the information as prompted.
This step may not be necessary, if you already have a Google account and use Google for your mobile devices. In this case, Google may instantly recognize you (which is pretty amazing) and identify your Google account. If so, type your Gmail password, and then touch the big triangle to log in to your Gmail account.
At the Backup and Restore Screen, ensure that both options are selected, and then touch the Big Triangle button to continue.
Information from your Google account is then synchronized with the Nexus 7, including contacts, calendars, YouTube information, bookmarks from the Chrome browser, and a host of other goodies.
The next, and final, step is to specify which location services the tablet uses.
Ensure that all check boxes for the location services are selected.
The location services help the Nexus 7 locate wherever you are on Planet Earth. They're used for navigating, finding locations, checking out people near you, and engaging in other fun activities. It is highly recommended that you activate the location services.
Touch the Big Triangle to continue.
Setup is complete.
Touch the Big Triangle to start using your Nexus 7.

Corn settled lower on Tuesday after favorable crop ratings were reported on the Weekly Crop Progress report. December corn closed 5 ¾ cents lower at $4.38 ¼, November soybeans a penny lower at $13.02 ¼, and December wheat a penny higher at $7.00 ¾.
To the market's surprise, corn ratings were up 5% from the September 29th report while soybeans were up 4%. These are major crop rating increases for this late in the year and immediately put corn and beans on the defensive during the overnight session. The weakness continued for corn, but there were some strong buyers in the bean market throughout the day session to recoup the early losses.
The bulls continue to discuss the rumors of strong corn and soybean sales to China over the last few weeks. We won't have confirmation of these sales until October 31st which is the date the USDA chose to release the withheld information. I think the market is figuring out that even if they sold 3 million MTs of corn to China, it really won't make a significant dent in our final carryout. Three million metric tons of corn equals 118.1 million bushels. As we have shown in our estimates, even when doubling our export demand and dramatically increasing feed and ethanol demand we still come out with a carryout well above 2 billion bushels using our production estimates. The last time we had a carryout this high was 2009 and the marketing year range was $2.96 ¾ and $4.26 ¼. These last few years of poor production have conditioned the market to expect $5-$8 corn and we quickly forget what a sizable carryout can do to the price. It is true that the American producer will be more likely to store grain in a holdout for better prices. In our opinion this may help basis levels but may not have a significant impact on futures prices, at least not a lasting impact.
What happens if the cash market DOES get tight from the lack of producer selling? The world just got accustomed to the US exporting only 735 million bushels of corn and has shown true elasticity during times of higher US prices. Our domestic livestock industry has thinned out substantially and will not likely pick up that extra demand we discussed earlier. The ethanol industry is capped due to the blending wall. In this scenario time will likely work against the stored grain since it will eventually be sold before the next crop arrives. If we get to next summer and prices did in fact rally due to an artificial squeeze, demand will have been curbed and an even larger market correction would likely be the result since final carryout would increase.
We have strategies in place to help protect the downside for 2013 and 2014 corn. Please contact us today if you would like a second look at your marketing plan using the Agyield software (www.agyield.com). November CBOT options will expire this Friday. The next major USDA report will be November 8th and will be especially significant since we did not get one in October.

Colorado Thunderbirds are a youth hockey national sensation
Within the next two-plus years, the Colorado-raised players listed below will begin college on hockey scholarships — including a combined 11 headed to Denver, Colorado College or Air Force. This is a unique group of kids. Yes, we've written stories about local kids making it big from the beginning of the impressionable Avalanche era. Numerous times. But this is different. All these young stars played (or are currently playing) for one youth organization — the Colorado Thunderbirds — and are riding the state's red-hot Tier I triple-A hockey wave.
The J.D. Corbin, Drew Shore and Richard Bachman way of doing things aren't necessarily over, but now, leaving home during puberty is only an option. No longer do driven young Front Range hockey players have to move to Canada, Michigan, Minnesota or Massachusetts between the ages of 13-16 to prepare themselves for college or pro hockey. They can do it right here, with the Thunderbirds or one of the other four triple-A organizations, and most importantly, they are able to graduate high school with their childhood friends. As a parent, this is a huge relief. You can now cater to your child's hockey dreams and still have them around until graduation, or at least through their junior year, after which some choose to begin a junior-A career — usually a necessary step before college hockey.
I compiled this list with the guidance of former DU center Angelo Ricci, a Thunderbirds' coach and the organization's director of operations. A year ago, the Ricci-coached U16 team won the national Tier 1 title — Colorado's first triple-A hockey crown. Front Range teams have won Tier II double-A national titles, but never at the elite youth (under-18, triple-A) level. Two players from Ricci's U16 title team have committed to Denver, and two others to Colorado College (see below). Two more — team captain and center Landon Smith and forward Quentin Shore — are uncommitted but will undoubtedly play Division I or major-junior.
Unless already noted, I'm not listing when these guys are expected to join their college teams, because those things change all the time. Sometimes players are asked to play another year of junior-A, and other times the program wants them earlier than originally tabbed.

There might be others that have escaped our memory. . . . I'd like to produce similar blogs about other triple-A organizations sending kids off to college on scholarships. I encourage you to provide me with that information.

Update below from DCYA to explain how the regulatory system for early years services has changed and will continue to change over the coming two or three years.
Pre-school inspections began in 1997, following the introduction of the Pre-School Regulations in 1996. In the past two decades the Early Years sector has grown and developed placing changing demands on the regulatory system and this is a continuing process. The long term aim of the Department of Children and Youth Affairs (DCYA) and HSE Children and Families is to ensure the development of a 'fit for purpose' early years regulatory service that contributes to building high standards and is based on our internationally respected quality and curriculum standards as described in Síolta, the National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education and Aistear, the Early Childhood Curriculum Framework.
Achieving this ambition will require change, not just on the part of the inspection service, but also of early years services, who will need support to help them build their capacity to deliver this challenging quality vision in practice. The DCYA, the Department of Education and Skills (DES) and HSE Children and Families have been considering the best future for regulation, including how to assess educational outcomes, the regulatory process and systems and how best to move forward.
National service
One of the difficulties that had been identified by the HSE was the absence of a coherent national approach to regulation which was challenging both for services and for inspectors. Work on the creation of the new Children and Family Agency has provided an opportunity to address this and since 2011, HSE Children and Families has been working towards developing Pre-school Inspection as a nationally coordinated service. A practical outcome of this work has been the introduction of Standard Operating Procedures in early 2013 which should address inconsistencies and provide clarity and transparency to early years services. As part of that work, HSE were also developing a system of registration of services.
Number of Inspectors and Gaps
The present (October 2013) complement of pre-school inspectors is 27 (Whole Time Equivalent) Inspectors from a Public Health Nursing background and 11 (Whole Time Equivalent) Inspectors from other professional backgrounds including Teaching, Health Education, Social Care; Paediatric Nursing; Intellectual Disability Nursing and Childcare.
Over recent years a number of areas of the country have had no inspector or an inadequate number of inspectors. HSE Children and Families are recruiting 5 new inspectors, to cover gaps in Louth, DublinSouth/East Wicklow, Cavan/Monaghan and Sligo/Leitrim/West Cavan. In addition, the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs has received approval from the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform to increase the new Child and Family Agency staffing numbers to provide for extra posts to further strengthen the Inspectorate. Some funding for this was provided for in Budget 2013.
Inspection reports
While inspection reports were always given to the early years service and were available to parents, they were not originally designed for publication. In light of the Minister's commitment to publication of inspection reports into the future, a number of necessary revision to the existing reporting templates were identified by inspectors and by services. These included
• The focus of the report on deficits, no matter how small scale, that were then interpreted as non-compliance with no provision for a more coherent view of the overall quality of the service
• a layout and content that were not consumer friendly (particularly for parents)
• a lack of consistency in language and approach
Work was ongoing within the HSE Children and Families to address these issues by developing a new format for reports and introducing an editorial process, which would be best practice in regulatory bodies, when following the Prime Time programme in May 2013 a decision was taken to publish reports on line. Since early July existing reports have been placed on line for public viewing. The reports are hosted by Pobal and linked to Pobal maps. Reports will continue to be uploaded. Preparing reports for publication is a time consuming task. The reports are mainly in paper format and each one has to be taken from its file, separated from any irrelevant papers (eg personal comments) given a reference number and scanned. Relevant papers, such as replies by services are attached, where they are available. All reports go through a data protection review so that areas which require redaction (anything that might identify a person) are removed.
The report of any inspection that took place after 1 July 2013 uses an amended but similar format of report, and has to go through an editorial process. As this is a new process, it is proving slow to complete reports, but the first reports under this system went on at the end of October.
HSE Children and Families is continuing to work on improving the reports. During 2014 a new style of report aimed at being clearer and more user friendly will be introduced and as soon as that is available all reports will use that format. This will not be a static process and if further improvements are possible, the format will continue to improve. For these reasons, over the next 12 months there will be reports which may differ slightly as improvements are implemented.
In the longer term, further national policy development relating to the promotion of high quality early years services may continue to stimulate change and development to statutory inspection systems and processes. However the ultimate goal will be to promote consistency, clarity and transparency for all those who wish to ensure high quality early childhood experiences for children and their families.
New National Standards
The 2006 Child Care (Pre-School services No. 2) Regulations are accompanied by guidelines which provide detail in relation to how the regulations will be interpreted. To replace these guidelines, new National Pre-School Standards, designed to support early years service providers in delivering a high quality service and parents in choosing the childcare best suited to their needs have been developed. These standards, which have been developed in consultation with the Early Years sector, will replace all current guidelines and will be implemented and inspected against with the new registration system and improved inspection systems, from 1 January 2014.
A key weakness inthe regulatory system that has been identified by all stakeholders is the fact that under the Child Care Act 1991 anyone may open a childcare service subject to notifying the HSE. The only recourse the HSE has had to deal with unsuitable services has been prosecution. To address this unsatisfactory situation a robust system of registration that would ensure that services cannot open until they meet at least minimum standards is required. The HSE had been working on developing a system of registration, which it was originally intended to introduce in connection with DCYA funding for Early Years services. However, with the passage of the Children and Family Agency Bill through the Houses of the Oireachtas, it was possible to place registration on a statutory footing so that it could be applied to all services. Statutory registration is due to be introduced from 1 January 2014, subject to the legislation being passed. All existing notified services will be deemed to be registered. There will be a need for training of inspectors in the new registration system as well as in inspecting against the new standards.
The Children and Family Agency will be implementing the new system of registration over 2014, and systems will be developed and revised on the basis of what works well. The Agency will consult with services and representative bodies as the system is implemented to ensure that the system is robust, transparent and effective.

UnityPoint Clinic Hospitalists - Cedar Rapids
I was born and raised on a farm in rural southern Iowa; a community that is largely medically under served. I chose to pursue a career in medicine with hopes to be able to give back to the community & serve others through the art of healing.
Hospital medicine allows me to have the privilege of caring for people and supporting their loved ones during some of the most difficult times in their lives. Only this profession allows one to witness the interaction of the human body and disease but also witness the power of listening, empathy, and hope. The variety and complexity of the pathophysiology and treatment of diseases leaves me eager to continue to learn more every day.
As a hospitalist, I will help my patients navigate through making complex informed decisions, complicated treatment regimens and coordination of care among many specialists and their primary care physician. This wouldn't be possible without a good patient-physician relationship. I believe in building a strong patient-physician relationship through open communication, trust, honesty, and empathy.
I hope to be able to communicate information to my patients in a manner that allows them to understand their diagnosis, be able to weigh the risks and benefits of available treatment options, and engage them in establishing their health goals.
From my own experience when patients become active participants in their own health and feel a sense of control over the decision making process, they are more likely to adhere to recommended treatment regimens such as medications, physical therapy, smoking cessation, and diet and exercise programs. I strive to develop high quality patient-physician relationships with all of my patients in hopes this will translate into improved emotional and physical medical outcomes.

Kate Upton in a Bikini With Cameron Diaz Pictures
Kate Upton Busts Out Her Bikini While Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann Keep It Covered
Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann covered up while filming a beach scene for The Other Woman with a bikini-clad Kate Upton in the Hamptons yesterday. Cameron wore a white two-piece but protected herself from the sun with a white button-up shirt and a panama hat, while Leslie donned a colorful costume. Last Wednesday, Kate Upton wore a skimpy bikini while filming a PDA scene with her costar Nikolaj Coster-Waldau on the sand. Meanwhile, on Monday, Cameron took a break from filming out in Long Island to travel back into NYC to meet up with her celebrity friends and attend Stella McCartney's Resort 2014 presentation at Jefferson Market.

One of the themes we hear occasionally from our community and customers (yes, we heard you, Nick!) is that we need to cull our list of design tools to increase the ease of adoption across the entire platform. Cube Designer served a valuable purpose in helping us advance the state of Mondrian as a whole, but as of the 1.7.0 release, we have chosen to focus our efforts on Schema Workbench as the preferred schema generation tool for use with Pentaho Analysis and will no longer be actively developing against Cube Designer. I encourage those of you who have not tried Schema Workbench to download it and try it out and continue to file enhancement requests with us.
