Yes, It Was Probably There
With apologies to all those roadster owners out there, the fact of the matter is the massive L.A. Roadsters swap meet is a happening unto itself, and it would probably be a very successful event even if no roadsters showed up next door.
For decades the L.A. Roadsters have carved out a section of their show for those who wanted to buy, trade, or sell old car parts and, being held only once a year, many folks rely on this two-day affair to get their business done.
The swap meet has always been a big draw for out-of-state attendees, too, because most of this stuff you just can't find anywhere else. More than 1,250 spaces were filled, and though parts' prices seemed to run between fair to high, an adequate amount of the finished car projects looked to be a bargain with prices being lower than what you could buy all the parts for.

Nick Foles ties NFL record with 7 TDs as Eagles roll
OAKLAND — Nick Foles said he has thrown seven touchdown passes in a game before, which tied a team and NFL record. But it wasn't on an actual field, in an actual game.
"Only in a video game," Foles said with a laugh.
Foles' performance in the Philadelphia Eagles' shockingly easy 49-20 win over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, however, seemed like it could have only happened in a video game as he completed 22-of-28 passes for 406 yards.
BOX SCORE:Eagles 49, Raiders 20
THE Q:Foles is Philly's new franchise QB
The seven touchdown passes tied Adrian Burk for the team record, which Burk set in 1954 against the Washington Redskins. Five other quarterbacks had seven touchdown passes in a game. It was most recently done by the Denver Broncos' Peyton Manning in the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens.
It was quite a contrast from Foles' last start, when he completed 11-of-29 passes for 80 yards against the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 20 before leaving after the third quarter with a concussion.
"I slowed everything down," Foles said. "I understood what we were trying to do. I wasn't trying to make too many plays. Obviously there are times when big plays need to be made."
Foles made them, again and again.
FOR THE WIN:Inside the numbers of Nick Foles' TD bonanza
BEST & WORST:Sunday's attention-grabbing performances
He said he had no idea that he had tied an NFL record until Eagles coach Chip Kelly took him out in the fourth quarter, and several teammates told him about it.
"Whenever I looked at records my whole life, the greatest thing about it is the guys you do them with," Foles said. "We were able to spread the ball around. You have to look at the key components. ... It's a special moment for the organization and a special moment for all our teammates."
Kelly, however, was well aware that Foles had tied the record because there's a sign in his office marking Burk's accomplishment. But he wasn't going to risk Foles' health to break it with the game well in hand as the Eagles improved to 4-5.
"This isn't about records," Kelly said. "It's about going out and getting a win. If I put Nick out there to try to get a record, and he gets hurt, that's being silly. I also think records are meant to be broken when they're supposed to be broken."
Kelly still wouldn't proclaim Foles the starter going forward. Michael Vick sat out for the third time in four games with an injured hamstring. It's not known if he'll be able to return this coming Sunday, when the Eagles play the Green Bay Packers.
"It's got to be based on health," Kelly said. "We'll talk about that stuff later on."
Riley Cooper caught three of the touchdown passes and finished with a career-high 139 yards receiving, breaking the mark of 120 he achieved with Foles at quarterback on Oct. 13. DeSean Jackson had 150 yards receiving and a touchdown.
NFC EAST:Romo's late TD lifts Cowboys over Vikings
LeSean McCoy, Zach Ertz and Brent Celek caught the other touchdown touchdown passes as the Eagles had 542 yards of total offense. They had 479 yards the previous two games combined, when they failed to score an offensive touchdown.
"He seemed so focused," McCoy said. "It seemed like he had something to prove. I think the offense has been (taking) so many shots, from the running game to Nick and this and that. I think everyone relaxed and played football, stopped worrying about the small things and just decided to go out and play."
Foles' performance made it easy for the defense, which for the most part kept Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor under control. He threw for 288 yards and ran for 94. But Pryor threw two interceptions and was hardly a factor.
Foles went 6-for-7 for 94 yards on the Eagles' first possession, finishing the drive with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Celek with 5:18 left in the first quarter. It was the Eagles' first offensive touchdown in nine quarters.
Foles and Cooper then connected twice in a row, on a 17-yarder and 63-yarder for a 21-3 lead early in the second quarter. It was 28-10 when Foles hit Ertz for his first career touchdown just before halftime. Foles hit McCoy on a short out pattern from the Oakland 25 and McCoy took it into the end zone. Then Foles went deep to Jackson from 46 yards out and it was 42-13 with 11:33 left in the third quarter.
Foles tied the record early in the fourth quarter. His 59-yard pass to Jackson got the Eagles down to the Raiders 9. Then on second-and-goal from the 5, Foles rolled to his right, holding the ball until Cooper broke free in the right corner.
But Foles didn't celebrate. He didn't even retrieve the ball that tied the record.
"I didn't grab anything," Foles said. "Honestly, I'm just happy we got a win. We've got to build on it."

GIT – Summary:┬Ā Logs are an essential part of any computing system, supporting capabilities from audits to error management. As logs grow and the number of log sources increases (such as in cloud environments), a scalable system is necessary to efficiently process logs. This practice session explores processing logs with Apache Hadoop from a typical Linux system.
Logs come in all shapes, but as applications and infrastructures grow, the result is a massive amount of distributed data that's useful to mine. From web and mail servers to kernel and boot logs, modern servers hold a rich set of information. Massive amounts of distributed data are a perfect application for Apache Hadoop, as are log filesŌĆötime-ordered structured textual data.
You can use log processing to extract a variety of information. One of its most common uses is to extract errors or count the occurrence of some event within a system (such as login failures). You can also extract some types of performance data, such as connections or transactions per second. Other useful information includes the extraction (map) and construction of site visits (reduce) from a web log. This analysis can also support detection of unique user visits in addition to file access statistics.
About this article
You may want to read these articles before working through the exercises:
- Distributed computing with Linux and Hadoop
- Distributed data processing with Hadoop
- Data processing with Apache Pig
These exercises give you practice in:
- Getting a simple Hadoop environment up and running
- Interacting with the Hadoop file system (HDFS)
- Writing a simple MapReduce application
- Writing a filtering Apache Pig query
- Writing an accumulating Pig query
To get the most from these exercises, you should have a basic working knowledge of Linux®. Some knowledge of virtual appliances is also useful for bringing a simple environment up.
There are two ways to get Hadoop up and running. The first is to install the Hadoop software, and then configure it for your environment (the simplest case is a single-node instance, in which all daemons run in a single node). See┬ĀDistributed data processing with Hadoop, Part 1: Getting started┬Āfor details.
The second and simpler way is through the use of the┬ĀCloudera's Hadoop Demo VM┬Ā(which contains a Linux image plus a preconfigured Hadoop instance). The Cloudera virtual machine (VM) runs on VMware, Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM), or Virtualbox.
Choose a method, and complete the installation. Then, complete the following task:
- Verify that Hadoop is running by issuing an HDFS┬Ā
Exercise 2. Interact with the HDFS
The HDFS is a special-purpose file system that manages data and replicas within a Hadoop cluster, distributing them to compute nodes for efficient processing. Even though HDFS is a special-purpose file system, it implements many of the typical file system commands. To retrieve help information for Hadoop, issue the command┬Ā
hadoop dfs. Perform the following tasks:
- Create a test subdirectory within the HDFS.
- Move a file from the local file system into the HDFS subdirectory using┬Ā
- For extra credit, view the file within HDFS using a┬Ā
hadoop dfs┬Ācommand.
As demonstrated in┬ĀDistributed data processing with Hadoop, Part 3: Application development, writing a word count map and reduce application is simple. Using the Ruby example demonstrated in this article, develop a Python map and reduce application, and run them on a sample set of data. Recall that Hadoop sorts the output of map so that like words are contiguous, which provides a useful optimization for the reducer.
As you saw in┬ĀData processing with Apache Pig, Pig allows you to build simple scripts that are translated into MapReduce applications. In this exercise, you extract all log entries (from /var/log/messages) that contain both the word┬Ākernel:┬Āand the wordterminating.
- Create a script that extracts all log lines with the predefined criteria.
Log messages are generated by a variety of sources within the Linux kernel (such as┬Ā
dhclient). In this example, you want to discover the various sources that generate log messages and the number of log messages per source.
- Create a script that counts the number of log messages for each log source.
The specific output depends on your particular Hadoop installation and configuration.
In┬ĀExercise 1, you perform an┬Ā
ls┬Ācommand on the HDFS.┬ĀListing 1┬Āillustrates the proper solution.
Listing 1. Performing an ls operation on the HDFS
$ hadoop dfs -ls / drwxrwxrwx - hue supergroup 0 2011-12-10 06:56 /tmp drwxr-xr-x - hue supergroup 0 2011-12-08 05:20 /user drwxr-xr-x - mapred supergroup 0 2011-12-08 10:06 /var $
More or fewer files might be present depending on use.
Solution for Exercise 2. Interact with the HDFS
In┬ĀExercise 2, you create a subdirectory within HDFS and copy a file into it. Note that you create test data by moving the kernel message buffer into a file. For extra credit, view the file within the HDFS using the┬Ā
cat┬Ācommand (see┬ĀListing 2).
Listing 2. Manipulating the HDFS
$ dmesg > kerndata $ hadoop dfs -mkdir /test $ hadoop dfs -ls /test $ hadoop dfs -copyFromLocal kerndata /test/mydata $ hadoop dfs -cat /test/mydata Linux version 2.6.18-274-7.1.el5 ([email protected])... ... e1000: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX $
In┬ĀExercise 3, you create a simple word count MapReduce application in Python. Python is actually a great language in which to implement the word count example. You can find a useful writeup on Python MapReduce in┬ĀWriting a Hadoop MapReduce Program in Python┬Āby Michael G. Noll.
This example assumes that you performed the steps of exercise 2 (to ingest data into the HDFS).┬ĀListing 3┬Āprovides the map application.
Listing 3. Map application in Python
#!/usr/bin/env python import sys for line in sys.stdin: line = line.strip() words = line.split() for word in words: print '%s\t1' % word
Listing 4┬Āprovides the reduce application.
Listing 4. The reduce application in Python
#!/usr/bin/env python from operator import itemgetter import sys last_word = None last_count = 0 cur_word = None for line in sys.stdin: line = line.strip() cur_word, count = line.split('\t', 1) count = int(count) if last_word == cur_word: last_count += count else: if last_word: print '%s\t%s' % (last_word, last_count) last_count = count last_word = cur_word if last_word == cur_word: print '%s\t%s' % (last_word, last_count)
Listing 5┬Āillustrates the process of invoking the Python MapReduce example in Hadoop.
Listing 5. Testing Python MapReduce with Hadoop
$ hadoop jar /usr/lib/hadoop-0.20/contrib/streaming/hadoop-streaming-0.20.2-cdh3u2.jar \ -file pymap.py -mapper pymap.py -file pyreduce.py -reducer pyreduce.py \ -input /test/mydata -output /test/output ... $ hadoop dfs -cat /test/output/part-00000 ... write 3 write-combining 2 wrong. 1 your 2 zone: 2 zonelists. 1 $
In┬ĀExercise 4, you extract /var/log/messages log entries that contain both the word┬Ākernel:┬Āand the word┬Āterminating.┬ĀIn this case, you use Pig in local mode to query the local file (see┬ĀListing 6). Load the file into a Pig relation (log), filter its contents to only kernel messages, and then filter that resulting relation for terminating messages.
Listing 6. Extracting all kernel + terminating log messages
$ pig -x local grunt> log = LOAD '/var/log/messages'; grunt> logkern = FILTER log BY $0 MATCHES '.*kernel:.*'; grunt> logkernterm = FILTER logkern BY $0 MATCHES '.*terminating.*'; grunt> dump logkernterm ... (Dec 8 11:08:48 localhost kernel: Kernel log daemon terminating.) grunt>
In┬ĀExercise 5, extract the log sources and log message counts from /var/log/messages. In this case, create a script for the query, and execute it through Pig's local mode. In┬ĀListing 7, you load the file and parse the input using a space as a delimiter. You then assign the delimited string fields to your named elements. Use the┬Ā
GROUP┬Āoperator to group the messages by their source, and then use the┬Ā
FOREACH┬Āoperator and┬Ā
COUNT┬Āto aggregate your data.
Listing 7. Log sources and counts script for /var/log/messages
log = LOAD '/var/log/messages' USING PigStorage(' ') AS (month:chararray, \ day:int, time:chararray, host:chararray, source:chararray); sources = GROUP log BY source; counts = FOREACH sources GENERATE group, COUNT(log); dump counts;
The result is shown executed in┬ĀListing 8.
Listing 8. Executing your log sources script
$ pig -x local logsources.pig ... (init:,1) (gconfd,12) (kernel:,505) (syslogd,2) (dhclient:,91) (localhost,1168) (gpm[2139]:,2) [gpm[2168]:,2) (NetworkManager:,292) (avahi-daemon[3345]:,37) (avahi-daemon[3362]:,44) (nm-system-settings:,8) $

Finished grad school & am now teaching. My yearly mini fine art print swap is on, and this year it's all about images of Spring. I'm hosting it over on Facebook, and it's open to everyone. If you happen to read this blog and are interested, message me!
If you like bright colors and miniature printmaking, this might be a great exchange for you. The only requirements are size (4x4 inch paper, edition of 14), the use of at least one color other than black ink, and your own original
It's that time of year again! I host a yearly swap of Fine Art Valentineslittle 4x4 inch prints. Any printmaking technique welcome, even hand carved stamps!
What is FAV?
This swap is a 4x4inch art swap. Ideally, the papers will be heavy fine or fine art papers, from mulberry to heavy watercolor paper. Please use quality materials! The images should be hand stamped, screened, etched, relief printed, etc. Anything goes as long as it's traditional hand done printmaking. Use at
It's creative hand time over on atcsforall. I joined a swap to make creative hands. I think the first edition of it was over here, in iATCs. The gist is you cut out life size hands on heavy paper or thin board, then use layers of paint and collage and such to make art. The theme for this swap is creativity.
I've been writing a novel. It's an urban fantasy set in a small town in Georgia. Rural fantasy? Town fantasy? =D Magic is real and creepy things come out at night, and during the day. Let's be honest.
That got me thinking about the importance of writing every day, and the magic we miss in every day life, just by being so busy. I just decided to put some mini books up, having revisited the importance
I've temporarily abandoned my mail art (and a serious ATC addiction) for the lurid world of writing. I got a crazy hair at an art opening in May(ish), to go back to school for a Masters. In English. And it was another artist who nudged me toward it. (We were both in the show, of course. You know how conversations go when you're at an opening for a couple hours. Topics vary wildly!)

Poisoned by every day life
UK Daily Mail
Feb 20, 2013
Chemicals found in every home may cause breast cancer, asthma, infertility and birth defects, global health chiefs said yesterday.
They warn the gender-bending compounds – used in toys, PVC flooring, car dashboards and credit cards – have 'serious implications' for health.
In a landmark report, the World Health Organisation suggested a ban might be needed to protect future generations.
It says it is 'reasonable to suspect' chemical substances called phthalates of harming female fertility and linked them with rising rates of childhood illnesses including leukaemia.
Also under suspicion is bisphenol A, which is found in a host of daily items including tin cans and sunglasses.

Hi, I compose an impromptu in g minor. Please provide some comments and feedbacks.
I finished composing the first movement of my suite as a 50 follower special. Here is the link:
I am wanting to learn to play piano and help my 6 year old daughter to learn too. Unfortunately lessons are a bit expensive so could anyone help point me in the right direction of what and how to learn? Thanks.
This music music has a sense of tragedy with romanticism and a bit of modernism accents.
Of course you will hear one of the most popular classical music progressions (baroque epochs progressions of fifth) but i wanted to do my own version of that progression. Maybe you can relate my piece with someone others... leave your comment i would like to know what others think...
I am hosting a competition for any classical composer.
Send me a message containing a link with your piece and in about a Month I will send everybody there score in a message.
Best of luck.
I uploaded it because i couldnt find any sheets for it.
I hope you like it.
this is the best form of my mary had a little lamb parody (it sounds dumb, but it actually sis one of my better pieces)
Check it out!
Just did this piano version of the Summer Walker tune. Should be pretty much playable.
Final Version of my Waltz in C Minor:
OGG, WAV, PDF, MIDI, MP3 Downloads at sheet music!
All comments and support appreciated!
So, you know how I have been working on the 50 follower special composition right? Well, I am 2/3 of the way through it and even include a short bit of canon in the composition. But after this canonic moment, I can't seem to make further progress. I know that I want to go back to G major by means of a plagal cadence(which would require me to substitute C major for C#°) and that I want to end the piece with a plagal cadence.
I have been having this composers block for about a week now. I usually embrace it and just move on to composing something else, but this is a 50 follower special composition that I have been working on.
Hey guys, I wrote this prélude last night and today and just finished it. It's rather short and simple but technically very difficult... I'm gonna have to practice it to be able to play it well... haha. Anyways, leave a like or comment what you think. :))
Thank you!!!
I would like to know your opinion about my music, maybe u can give me advice? is there some places where my music sounds "a little bit off" or you saw some mistakes in my score let me know...
I think that the new "piano Roll" to keyboard software is fantastic and I would like to know how this could be used to bring keyboard skills to very young children and how to present this as a computer game using very simple songs and progressing both in speed and complexity. This could then be possibly transferred to music notation? Is this type of learning available to inspire our very young people? I wish that I had this opportunity when I was young
I reached the 50 followers milestone. Now just to finish my 50 follower special composition. I can't promise when it will be done but right now I'm halfway through it.
Did any of y'all create horrible pieces of music the first time you joined Musescore?

AAA member, C. Timothy McKeown wrote an article yesterday for Indian Country Today. The article You Can't Convey What You Don't Have discusses yet another auction of significant artifacts to be held at the end of this week in Paris, France. Below is an excerpt:
On Friday, April 12, Néret-Minet Tessier & Sarrou in Paris is scheduled to auction 70 Native American masks dating between 1880 and 1940. The auction catalogue describes each mask, provides a photograph, details the materials used in its construction, and identifies the tribe that used the mask in its religious ceremonies. There are one or more masks from Acoma, Jemez, Zuni and Navajo, but the majority are from Hopi. The proposed sale has unleashed a global discussion on the propriety of the trade in communally owned cultural items and the need for transparency in provenance documentation.
We know little about the collector for whose benefit the auction will be conducted, identified in the catalogue only by the initials "L.S." and described as "a connoisseur with peerless taste" who lived and collected in the US for 30 years. The French press describes him as a Frenchman who worked in the American film industry and occasionally stayed with the tribe. Requests from the Hopi Tribe for information on the provenance of the collection have been ignored, and last Thursday the US Embassy in Paris reportedly weighed in with an email asking the auction house to respond to the Hopi request. In a statement to the press, an unnamed representative of the auction house claimed that the collector "legally bought the items in the United States at sales and auctions." Auctioneer Gilles Néret-Minet has dismissed Hopi claims because "they rely on an article of the Hopi constitution which is not recognized in France because it is not a State."
Monsieur Néret-Minet might be interested in knowing that a number of US Federal laws may also be implicated in the proposed sale. Taking the auction house representative's statement that the items were "legally" bought in the US on its face, we can assume that none of the masks – many of which have been identified by the Hopi Tribe as objects of ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the tribe and which could not be alienated, appropriated, or conveyed by any individual – were obtained after 1990 from tribal lands or from a museum receiving Federal funds. Section 4 of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) made the sale, purchase, use for profit, or transport for sale or profit of any such cultural items a criminal offense. To date, 13 individuals have been convicted of trafficking items similar to those being offered at the Paris auction. Most were fined and the cultural items confiscated and repatriated. Several were also imprisoned. The list of convicted criminals includes mostly tribal members, intermediaries, and dealers in the American Southwest. Missing are the collectors who fuel the market, though several have stepped forward, including one reportedly connected to the Hollywood community, to aid the law enforcement and avoid prosecution themselves.
Click here to read McKeown's entire article.
Readers may recall a letter sent by AAA President Leith Mullings last month about the Barbier-Mueller Collection of pre-Colombian art that was auctioned by Sotheby's Paris. What do you think it is about Paris to be a hub for such auctions?

Sept. 14, 2007
Head Coach Jerry Smith, on the key to winning tonight's game:
"Once again it goes back to Brittany Klein. Tonight we made the decision to move her to holding midfielder at halftime, which helped us steady out our pace. We also added in Kendall Doherty and Jessie Baddley in the second half. Those changes opened up a lot of opportunities for us."
On Kendall Doherty:
"Kendall played really well tonight. She's one of our players who hasn't see a lot of action, but we put her in at outside back and she played some really tough defense for us."
On Missouri:
"Missouri is an athletic and very deep team. Their depth poses a challenge for us, but a challenge that we are familiar with. It is difficult for us to come into a match against a team with a deep roster, when ours is shorter than most years and we just played a game two and half days earlier. With that said, Sunday is going to be another very tight contest."

Savory Breakfast Strata
The most important meal of the day isn't just a choice between a bowl of cereal on one side and bacon and eggs on the other. This savory breakfast strata — which you prepare the night before — will start your day with a little culinary joy. Any rise in your blood pressure will come from the unexpected joy of eating this heart-healthy breakfast.
While this recipe is made of good-for-you ingredients, it's also slightly higher in sodium, so balance out your meal choices the rest of the day with lower-sodium options.
Savory Breakfast Strata
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30–45 minutes
Yield: 8 servings
Nonstick cooking spray
8 slices stale whole-wheat bread, crust removed
4 ounces loose chicken sausage, browned and crumbled
1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, drained
2 medium shallots, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
1 cup lowfat shredded sharp cheddar cheese
6 whole eggs or 4 whole eggs and 4 egg whites
1-1/2 cups lowfat milk
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Spritz the bottom of a 9-x-13-inch glass baking pan with cooking spray. Lay the slices of bread side by side in the pan.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, shallots, and rosemary over the bread slices. Sprinkle the cheese on top.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, pepper, and dry mustard and pour over the casserole. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Bring the strata to room temperature; then bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly.
In place of the sun-dried tomatoes, consider making your own oven-dried tomatoes. Core 1-1/2 pounds of plum tomatoes and cut them in half lengthwise. Place on a paper towel, cut-side down. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Arrange the tomatoes on a lined baking sheet, cut-side up, and bake for 3-1/2 to 4 hours or until the edges curl. Yield: 1 cup of oven-dried tomatoes.

Q&A with Andrew Hatch
Related Links
After starting 44 games in his first two years at UC
Q�Have you ever had to sit out an entire season before?
HATCH�Yes, my sophomore year in high school and the weird part is that I broke the same bone in the opposite foot. Sitting out then was just as hard as sitting out last year. I felt helpless.
Q�What was the most difficult part for you?
HATCH�Just basically the helpless feeling�being on crutches for seven weeks, not being able to get around and having to depend on others. Also sitting on the bench and watching games where I know I could have helped.
Q�Is there anything about he down time that made you a better player coming back?
HATCH�I guess sitting out that much I saw everything from a coach's perspective and, in that regard, I know what they are talking and screaming about on the sideline. Hopefully, noticing this will improve my on court leadership abilities.
Q�During the pre-season and the first two games, you've been coming off the bench. Is that more difficult than starting? Why?
HATCH�It's not anymore difficult coming off the bench than it is starting. However, coming off the bench allows me to recognize what the opponent is doing offensively and defensively. It also allows me to calm down, catch my breath and re-think my game assignments.
Q�How would you describe the transition from the coaching of Bill Carr to Chris Carlson?
HATCH� I would describe it as a smooth transition. Coach Carlson kept Assistant Coach (Eric) Olen on his staff, so our team has had that same support through the transition. Coach Carlson has also done a great job communicating with the team to insure that the transition happened as smoothly as possible. Coach Carr's offensive principles are not that different from Carlson's however, we do have more freedom this year. Defensively, things haven't changed. We still want to bring as much intensity to the game as we can so that we are the aggressors.
Q�What do you like most about Coach Carlson's program so far?
HATCH�His overall communication with the players has to be the thing that is most significant so far His overall communication with the players has to be the thing I like most so far. I like that you can approach him, whether it's at practice or by cell phone. He is truly a players' coach in that regard.
. I like that you can approach him, whether it's at practice or by cell phone. He is truly a players' coach in that regard.
Q�How would you handicap the 2007-08 CCAA race? Where does UCSD fit in?
HATCH�I think it is very hard to predict what will happen this year. There are some very good teams in the CCAA. I think five teams in our league have beaten Division programs so far this year (including exhibitions).
I think if we play to our abilities and are the aggressive and smartest team on the court every night we will see the results that we want. Furthermore, I believe that this squad more than any other previous team has much more experience playing together, regardless off it being Coach Carr's basketball system or Coach Carlson's basketball system. We know each other and are confident that each player brings something positive to the team.
Q�What would your scouting report say about this year's Triton backcourt?
HATCH�I would say our guards are very versatile. I'd also say that every player in our backcourt has the potential to put the ball in the basket. But overall, I think the biggest thing is that we are experienced and play smart on both ends of the court.
Q�What do you consider the strongest facet of your game?
HATCH�Considering I haven't really played much in over year, I would say my defensive intensity and getting our team into its offense.
Q�Has there been one game in your career that stands out more than the others?
HATCH�Freshmen year was so long ago but the biggest game that stands out to me is when Mark Lewkowitz hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to beat Cal State Dominguez Hills. I believe I had a strong offensive game that night and after the game Sigma Chi Fraternity threw our team a party to celebrate.
Q�Looking back, has UCSD been a good fit for Andrew Hatch?
HATCH�UCSD has given me the tools to be successful both on and off the court and hopefully I can take those tools on with me and become successful in the next phase of my life.
Q�Is there a particular NBA team, player or players you enjoy watching?
HATCH�I've grown up in
Q�What is your favorite sport other than basketball?
HATCH�College Football has grown on me, particularly since I have some friends who are now playing at some Pac-10 schools.
Q�Your mother and father are regulars at UCSD home and road games. How important has that support system been?
HATCH�It has been a very important. It's one of the reasons I chose to attend UC San Diego�because of its proximity to Chino Hills and the fact that my parents could attend most of my games.
Q�What do you enjoy doing with your time outside of basketball?
HATCH�I enjoying relaxing at home. Those who know me know I'm a homebody, that I love movies and I like being at the house enjoying down time.
Q�When do you anticipate graduating and what post-graduate plans do you have?
HATCH�I will be graduating in Spring of 2008 and plan on moving up to
I'm looking for a new experience in

Pairing Your BlueAnt
Step 2: Activate Pairing Mode on the Supertooth 2
There are two ways to activate pairing mode on the Supertooth 2. The correct method to use will depend on your phone.
Try this method first:
- Switch the Supertooth 2 on by flipping out the swivel arm. The Bluetooth indicator light will blink blue.
- Hold down both the Reject Button and the Pick-Up/Hang-Up Button for about 10 seconds. You will hear a distinctive tone and the Bluetooth indicator light will change from blinking blue to alternate blinking red and blue.
You now need to go to your phone's Bluetooth menu, search for devices, and select the option to pair with the Supertooth 2. The pairing code is 0000.
The above method puts the Supertooth 2 into handsfree pairing mode. If this pairing method is not successful, then you need to repeat the process but put your Supertooth 2 into headset pairing mode instead. To do this:
- Repeat the above steps (flip out the swivel arm and hold down the buttons until the Bluetooth light starts alternately blinking red and blue).
- As soon as the light starts blinking, press and release the Pick-Up/Hang-Up Button again. The light should now start blinking faster to indicate that the Supertooth 2 is now in headset pairing mode.
- Now go back to your phone's Bluetooth menu and search for devices.

THERE IS little doubt that Dr. Josef Fischer was a top-notch surgeon. He helped transform a city-owned indigent-care hospital in Cincinnati into an academic medical center. He expanded a 10-member surgery department at the University of Cincinnati into a top training site, with a faculty of more than 60. He made such a mark that there is still an award in his name "for excellence in patient care, attention to detail, and intellectual curiosity in the pursuit of clinical and scientific knowledge."
But it is also clear that Fischer had an abrasive personality. Even his greatest admirers describe him as difficult. He was known for pushing out colleagues he didn't like. Over his 23-year career in Cincinnati, he was named in lawsuits alleging age discrimination, filed by a 60-year-old director of the Division of Neurosurgery; disability discrimination, filed by the executive director of an organ transplant center who took leave for a mental illness; and sex discrimination, filed by a female dental assistant who accused a dentist working under Fischer of harassing her and retaliating against her when she complained. (Only one suit — the sex discrimination case — prevailed.)
Fischer went on to become the head of surgery at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, a Harvard teaching hospital, where he is credited with putting the institution on firmer financial footing. Unfortunately, he brought his personality with him. Today, he is the central figure behind the hospital's $7 million settlement with the female former chief of anesthesia, who says he tried to ruin her career because she is a woman. Dr. Carol Warfield's claims, which were backed up by testimony from senior female surgeons, illustrate the dark side of superstar surgeons like Fischer. Historically, the most celebrated surgeons were swashbuckling men who could make snap judgments and act on them without fear of the consequences — traits that may have contributed to Fischer's lack of concern for his colleagues' feelings.
But there's a bright line between a brusque, dismissive attitude and the kind of broad-brush intolerance that Fischer has been accused of showing. According to Warfield's lawsuit, he openly stated that women shouldn't be surgeons. Fischer, 75, may have gotten away with such sexist bombast when he graduated from medical school back in 1961. Today, that attitude is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Although Fischer has retired from his position at Beth Israel Deaconess, he still attends weekly sessions to discuss patient cases and is still a professor at Harvard Medical School. Both institutions should make it clear to him that if he wants to teach medicine in the 21st century, he must abide by 21st-century norms.
Warfield's lawsuit also suggests that the profession itself needs some soul-searching. According to anthropologist Pearl Katz, the culture of surgery evolved over centuries of battlefield amputations. Like soldiers, good surgeons were expected to make quick decisions, project unwavering self-confidence, and exhibit stoicism in the face of a patient's pain. Today we know that some of those traits — traditionally viewed as masculine — actually increase the risk of medical mistakes. Medicine has changed. Today's surgeons, male and female, should change with it.

After leaving Laon, Adelard travelled for about seven years visiting first Salerno southeast of Naples. The medical school at Salerno, considered by many to be the first "modern" European university, was a famous institution at this time, drawing students from all over Europe. From Salerno Adelard travelled to Sicily which at that time was under Norman control but still strongly influenced by Arabic traditions. The Arabs from North Africa had conquered the island in 965 and remained in control for about 100 years but the Normans gained the island in 1060.
Adelard next visited Cilicia, an ancient district of southern Anatolia which today is in Turkey. Cilicia was on the north east coast of the Mediterranean Sea and Adelard took the natural coastal route round the east end of the Mediterranean to Syria and then later to Palestine. We know that he returned to Bath and is mentioned in the records of that city for the year 1130. There is no record of Adelard visiting Spain, but many scholars have concluded that he must have visited that country to have had access to the Spanish-Arabic texts which he translated.
Certainly Adelard became an expert in the Arabic language which he might have learnt in Spain as did Gherard of Cremona a few years later. However, there is an alternative theory that he learnt Arabic in Sicily. It is quite possible that, if this were the case, then he came in contact with Spanish-Arabic texts in Sicily for several scholars who had lived in Spain were at this time in Sicily.
Adelard wrote a number of original works on philosophy. The first work that he is known to have written is a philosophy text written before 1116 and dedicated to William, Bishop of Syracuse. Since Syracuse was one of the most important cities of ancient Sicily, this work is likely to have been written around the time of Adelard's visit to that island. However, since the work is based firmly on Plato's philosophy, without any signs of Arabic influences, it may have been mostly written before Adelard's visits brought him in contact with the learning of the Arabs.
It is not as a philosopher that Adelard merits inclusion in this archive. Rather it is because he is [1]:-
... one of the translators who made the first wholesale conversion of Arabo-Greek learning from Arabic into Latin.Adelard made Latin translations of Euclid's Elements from Arabic sources which were for centuries the chief geometry textbooks in the West. In fact there seem to have been three separate versions of Euclid's Elements written by Adelard. Version one is a translation of the whole fifteen books (the 13 original books written by Euclid and the two further books written by Hypsicles). Adelard seems to have taken as his source one of al-Hajjaj's Arabic translations from Greek.
The second version of Euclid's Elements by Adelard is quite different. It contains quite different wording of the statements of the propositions to that of version one, while the proofs are often only outlines or indications of how proofs might be constructed. The style of the translation tells experts that Adelard did not produce this from his own version one, but rather that he used some unknown Arabic source different from al-Hajjaj's translations.
There is debate as to whether the third version of Euclid's Elements attributed to Adelard is indeed his work. It is a commentary on Euclid's Elements rather than a translation of the original text. We know it was written before 1200 and became quite well known under Adelard's name. Roger Bacon gives quotes from this version in his works.
Adelard also translated al-Khwarizmi's tables, wrote on the abacus and on the astrolabe. We should make some further comments on his translation of al-Khwarizmi's tables which became the first Latin astronomical tables of the Arabic type with their Greek influences and Indian symbols. These tables contain, at the end of chapter 4, the date of 26 January 1126 (at least that is what the Arabic date of A.H. 520 Muharram 1 corresponds to). It is hard to see what this date is there for unless it is the date when the chapter was completed, and so it has been taken as the approximate date for Adelard's translation. However, there is a manuscript (written later but a copy of Adelard's translation) which mentions an eclipse of the sun which took place in 1133. It is possible that Adelard's translation took place after 1133 or, equally likely, that the scribe making the later copy added information about a recent eclipse which was not in Adelard's original text.
Adelard also wrote arithmetic books, the earliest one of which was written before he studied Arabic arithmetic. It is based on the work of Boethius. A mathematics treatise which is strongly influenced by Arabic ideas has been attributed to Adelard although the attribution is not certain. The work consists of five books, the first three of which are on arithmetic and based on the Indian methods as presented in Arab writings. It has been conjectured that these books are based on an arithmetic book by al-Khwarizmi which is now lost. The remaining two books of the five which compose the treatise cover geometry, which is completely Greek in style, music, and astronomy. The astronomy, like the arithmetic, is Arabic in style.
Adelard's Quaestiones naturales Ⓣ consists of 76 scientific discussions based on Arabic science. In this work he promoted the use of experimental data and writes that he [1]:-
... prefers reason to authority.

Welcome to Revision 3 (R3)
I'm a computer software developer. When developing software it is common to send out pre-release versions to selected users. This goes through a series of levels
- Alpha
- Usually feature complete, but hasn't completed extensive in-house testing. Only released under fairly unusual circumstances, or to "partner" organisations so they can prepare their software to work with ours.
- Beta
- Feature complete, passed in-house testing, but may fail in customer environments. Relased to a limited number of, usually important, customers.
- Release Candidate (RC)
- Look, we think this is good enough to ship, what do you think?
- General Release (GA)
- Customers can use this in production & it should work
- Revisions
- OK, so the general release wasn't actually our best work, here's a whole bunch of patches
Within each level, there can be a series of releases: Beta 1, beta 2, beta 3, RC 1, RC 2, GA, R1, R2, R3 wouldn't be an uncommon series, especially as the betas and release candidates are test versions.
I've had some previous blog hosting efforts and I'm calling this site "Revision 3" as it's my best yet attempt.
Not Terribly Happy With Installatron
No, I'm not as one more thing has gone wrong with b2evolution & this time it's Installatron that's the villan.
I upgraded the b2evolution install to the latest version & the Installatron installer deleted the additional b2evolution themes (skins) I'd added into R3. This meant that the weblog site was down.
I'm hoping I can find a work-around that will mean I don't have to do some kind of manual recovery each time I do an upgrade ... a big part of why I pay for Installatron is to automate the update process.
Tessa Clement
My wife, Tessa, has had a food related blog for a long time at The Unknown Chef but just as I found when I only had one blog she often has something she'd like to blog about that doesn't fit her parameters for that site.
She's now launched a second blog "Tessa Clement" to provide a home for those postings.
Naturally, it's hosted here on Revision 3.
Kiore: Return of The Rat
I've had the Kiore.Com, celebrating New Zealand's native rat, domain name for five years longer than I've had muffins.co.nz one, but I only put a real site up on it a few months before I launched the muffins site. As explained in a related article "The Rat Is Back" I acquired the domain name for an email address, just as I acquired my clement.co.nz personal domain name for the same purpose a few years later.
Last night I restored the surviving postings from the first year of Kiore.com. I'm going to try to get some of the later stuff back, and failing that will add new content as it becomes available.
Muffins out of the cupboard
Wow! Talk about deja vue.
I just resurrected muffins.co.nz after it having been dead for nearly 6 years. This was the 2nd time I've resurrected it (full story on-site) I managed to get most of the content from the original restore back from archive.org.
It felt really weird as I created this site not long before I started going out with my wife, Tessa. A lot of personal history in this little site.

I've always thought that the reason Ariel Sharon was such an enduring presence in Israeli political life is that he personally reflected three of the most important states of mind that the state of Israel has gone through since its founding. At key times, for better and for worse, Sharon expressed and embodied the feelings of the Israeli Everyman as much, if not more, than any Israeli leader.
The first was the enduring struggle for survival of the Jewish people in Israel. The founding of a Jewish state in the heart of the Arab-Muslim world would never be a natural act, welcomed by the region. There is a Jewish state today because of hard men, like Ariel Sharon, who were ready to play by the local rules, and successive Israeli prime ministers used him to do just that. Sharon — whom I first met at age 16 when I interviewed him for my high school newspaper after a lecture he gave at the University of Minnesota in 1969 — always had contempt for those in Israel or abroad who he believed did not understand the kill-or-be-killed nature of their neighborhood. He was a warrior without regrets and, at times, without restraints. Not for nothing was a Hebrew biography of him entitled, "He Doesn't Stop at Red Lights."
Sharon could have perfectly delivered a Hebrew version of the speech Marine Col. Nathan Jessep, played by Jack Nicholson, delivered in the climactic courtroom scene in "A Few Good Men," justifying the death of a weak soldier, Santiago, under his command. In Sharon's case, it would be justifying his no-holds-barred dealing with Arabs who resisted Israel's existence back in the 1950s and '60s.
As Jessep told the lawyer trying him: "Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? ... I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. ... You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall."
Many Israelis wanted Sharon on that wall, which is why he survived so many crises. At the end of the day, they always wanted to know their chief warrior, who played by the local rules, was available.
But, in the 1980s, Sharon also embodied a fantasy that gripped Israel — that with enough power the Israelis could rid themselves of the Palestinian threat, that they could have it all: resettling Jews in their biblical heartland in the West Bank, plus settlements in Gaza, docile Palestinians, peace with the neighbors, and good relations with the world. That fantasy drove Sharon to team up in 1982 with the Christian Phalangist leader Bashir Gemayel on a strategic overreach to both oust Yasir Arafat and the P.L.O. from Lebanon and install Gemayel as a pro-Israeli president in Beirut. Ronald Reagan was in power in America; Sadat had just made peace with Israel and taken Egypt off the battlefield. The little Jewish state, Sharon thought, could rearrange the neighborhood.
That Israeli overreach, which I covered from Beirut, ended badly for everyone. Sharon was deemed by a 1983 Israeli commission of inquiry as "indirectly responsible" for the horrible massacre of Palestinian civilians by Phalangists in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. The fiasco in Lebanon (which also gave birth to Hezbollah), followed by two Palestinian intifadas, seemed to impress on Sharon the limits of Israeli power.
Indeed, I don't know what, if any, epitaph the Sharon family will etch on his gravestone one day, but an adaptation of the most memorable line from Clint Eastwood's classic "Magnum Force" would certainly be appropriate: "A country's got to know its limitations."
That was the conclusion that Sharon, the settlements builder, came to late in life — and so, too, did many Israelis. He acted on it by getting elected prime minister and then parting ways with his old Likud/settler allies, moving to the center and orchestrating a unilateral withdrawal from Gaza. He surely would have tried something similar in the West Bank if he had not had a stroke. Sharon remained skeptical that the Palestinians would ever make a true peace with Israel, but he concluded that occupying them forever was harmful to Israel's future and, therefore, a third way had to be found.
Once again, Sharon was expressing the sentiments of the Israeli Everyman — which is probably why President Obama got such a warm reception from Israeli youths when, on his visit to Israel last March, he justified his own peace diplomacy by quoting a wiser and older Ariel Sharon, as telling Israelis that the dream of a Greater Israel had to be abandoned: "If we insist on fulfilling the dream in its entirety, we are liable to lose it all," Sharon said.
Few Israelis are neutral about Sharon. I think that's because some part of him — the hardheaded survivor, the dreamer that hoped Israel could return to its biblical roots and that the Palestinians would eventually acquiesce or disappear or the sober realist trying to figure out how to share the land he loved with a people he'd never trust — touched something in all of them.

EWG News and Analysis
The latest from EWG's staff of experts >>
Consumer Reports supports EWG findings
The magazine Consumer Reports is warning pregnant women not to eat any tuna at all because the government can't assure us that even supposedly-safe light tuna won't contain excessive levels of mercury, which harms developing brains.
As reported in the Chicago Tribune:
"This is important information that women need to hear," said Jean Halloran, the director of food policy at Consumers Union and a member of an FDA advisory panel on mercury in seafood. "We think that high exposures, even for a day or two, could be too much of a risk."
Consumer Reports bases its advice on a powerful investigation by the Chicago Tribune last winter finding that some light tuna, which on average appears to be lower in mercury than albacore tuna, actually contained more mercury than the albacore. The Tribune also quotes an FDA official admitting that they kept light tuna on the low-mercury/low-concern list for consumers in order to protect tuna companies.
Environmental Working Group (EWG) researchers have pressured the Food and Drug Administration for years to give women of childbearing age clear, accurate advice about which fish to eat or avoid, ultimately coming up with a fish list (link) and a tuna calculator that lets them see based on their weight how much tuna they can safely eat.

It is often said that human beings only use ten percent of their brains. Countless movies make use of this common canard to transform ordinary characters into amazing brainiacs who can learn new languages, solve complex math equations, even control people with their minds. Such is the storyline of the 2014 film Lucy, in which the titular character becomes a super genius after ingesting a nootropic drug. In spite of the fact that the ten-percent brain myth is entirely unfounded, there is some evidence that the nootropic class of drugs can improve one or more aspects of mental function.
What are nootropics?
Before we begin, let us disabuse you of the notion that greatness comes in pill form. If you take nootropics, you will not acquire any extraordinary, supernatural mental abilities. You will suddenly, inexplicably be able to play the piano like Mozart or write like William Shakespeare. At their best, Tablets are drugs that may enhance working memory, motivation, and attention, thereby making you seem smarter. With that said, there is little evidence that they can actually increase your IQ or turn you into some kind of mastermind overnight.
Sold as drugs, supplements, or foods, nootropics include several classes of drugs that may have cognitive benefits, including stimulants, nutraceuticals, and racetrams. Scientific research on drugs in these groups range from comprehensive to non-existent. Let us take a moment to discuss each class individually.

Energy pills which are used to gain energy or to boost up energy level are generally harmful to human body. Actually it is not for everybody. Some energy pills contain lots of stimulant classified herbs as well as energetic things to increase energy level which is usually harmful. So it is prescribed that before taking these pills, one should consult a doctor. This is for the reason that energy pills have effect on one's adrenalin production, metabolic rate and increases the heart rate which is dangerous for the patient of high blood pressure.
If a heart disease is hereditary, taking energy pills may be dangerous for the people suffering from it. The reason is that energy supplements or fat burning products causes heart palpitations and an irregular heart beats.
If one wants to take energy pills, then the safest way is to consult the doctor or let him prescribe the right pills. Generally Energy pills do not contain any sort of drugs or medications, but it contains energy enhancing ingredients which affect the heart rate of a person, and it is dangerous for one's health.
It is recommended that the first time one should take energy pills in the morning time and observe how long these pills give energy and make active.
For women it should not be taken in the same amount like men. One should not take these pills everyday and more then 3 months. If one wants to take pills containing stimulants, then it is good to take fatty acid too. This is because fatty acid supports adrenal glands.
One thing is very important that more then one type of energy pill should never be taken simultaneously. It is true that more then one type of energy pill has different ingredients. But their final effect is all the same, and this causes the overdose of effect which can affect metabolism, heart rate, blood pressure etc. so, it would be just like inviting risk to life. If more then one type of energy pill is taken knowingly or unknowingly, some problems get manifest in the form of headaches, nausea, sweats, heart beat, and heart palpitations. In this case it is always wise to take half a cup of black coffee, which is supposed to have a magical effect.
For the correct and safe way to take such pills, one should always follow some physician. And the most alarming thing is that an Energy Pill must not be taken for a long time and on empty stomach, because it can cause a stomachache or indigestion.
The most studied class of smart drugs, stimulants are used mainly to treat patients with cognitive and/or motor function problems that stem from disorders such as ADHD and Alzheimer's disease. Medical reviews have found that certain stimulants can improve mental cognition in the general population, but only at low doses or concentrations. Drugs such as Adderall, Adranifil, Ritalin have proved effective at increasing cognitive control, alertness, and working memory, especially in those that have trouble concentrating for protracted periods of time. Other than caffeine, however, most stimulants are prescribed to and taken by patients with cognitive impairments. In other words, they may not produce the desired results in ordinary people who want an instant brain boost.

I've been taking a CoQ10 supplement every morning for a while now. I started taking it after reading about all of the heart health benefits it offers. CoQ10 is one of the most widely studied supplements in history. The japanese have been using it successfully since the '70s for its ability to keep the heart healthy and protect it after surgery.
Yes, its great to know you're keeping your heart healthy but its something that happens behind the scenes. its hard to keep taking any supplement when you can't see a noticeable effect in your every day life. So what keeps me taking it every day? My energy levels are noticeably higher now. What a nice side effect of taking a CoQ10 supplement! After taking it for only a few days, you'll realize that you have more energy than you used to. I'm not talking about the jittery kind of boost you get from coffee that leaves you feeling drained two hours later. You get a nice sustained feeling of extra energy that lasts all day long. You'll have more stamina to enjoy activities too.
Let me give you a little background information about CoQ10 just so you know what it is and why it works so well to promote energy and health.
Besides helping to keep your heart healthy, CoQ10 (also known as CoEnzyme Q10 or Ubiquinone) is also a potent antioxidant and energy booster within all cells, particularly in the heart and brain. its in every cell in your body and is an essential component of the mitochondria, where it helps to metabolize fats and carbohydrates and maintain cell membrane flexibility. CoQ10 is also involved in the production of several key enzymes that are used to create ATP, which is burned by your body for energy, and in the energy transfer between mitochondria and cells. Without CoQ10, you would not be able to walk around or even raise your arm.
Your chances of getting run down due to a lack of CoQ10 rise dramatically as you age. Blood levels of CoQ10 decrease after age 21 and by the age 80 may be lower than at the time of birth. People who suffer from heart disease are likely to have abnormally low levels of CoQ10 in their body. If you take cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) they can be robbing your cells of coQ10, making your more vulnerable to the muscle-weakening side-effects of these drugs. People who take statin drugs sometimes take 100-200 milligrams of CoQ10 daily as insurance against the possibility of developing muscle pain and weakness from lack of coQ10, that can result in disability and even death,
So that's three reasons why you might want to take a CoQ10 supplement. One, its good for the heart. Two, its great for promoting enhanced energy. And three, its a powerful antioxidant that helps to fight cellular damage caused by free radicals in your body.
One other point I'd like to mention is that when choosing a CoQ10 supplement, quality is very important. The highest quality CoQ10 in the world is produced in Japan where the Japanese government oversees a rigorous 16-step manufacturing process. You'll want to make sure your CoQ10 comes from Japan so you know you're getting the absolute best quality supplement you can get.
So if you want to take CoQ10 for your heart and its proven antioxidant properties, great. But I think you'll keep taking it when you see what it does for your energy levels.
