Monica's post about renunciation over on Buddhist in Nebraska got me thinking about the different ways that notions and the experience of renunciation work in my life. This evening, I ran across the following, about how commitment to truth requires a profound degree of renunciation, from Ram Dass' marvelous book, Paths to God: Living the Bhagavad Gita
Ours is not a culture that has much appreciation for any path of renunication. Ours is a culture built on the idea that more gratification, sooner, is better. Gandhi said, "The essence of civilization consists not in the multiplication of wants but in their deliberate and voluntary renunciation." That's certainly a hard sell here in the West, where everything keeps fanning the flames of our desires. ...
By Gandhi's yardstick, my own country with all its affluence, is not yet very civilized. If we look at what people do with their great wealth in America, we find that they mostly use it to try and create more and more sensual gratification for thmselves. And then when they're totally jaded with it all, and they begin to feel the inevitable falling away of their desires, they don't know where to turn. It's a dead-end street, because it all passes, it's all transient.
Once we see that, we're motivated to turn the process around. But as we start to do that, our minds sometimes get ahead of the rest of us, and we start giving things up in order to be "good," and not because we see that they're a hindrance and we're finished with them. We try to jump the gun on the process.
I've had my own experience of the difference between those two motivations in connection with the practice of fasting, which is a form of renunciation (we renounce satisfying our desire for food). Fasting was an interesting one for me, because I have always had an intense relationship with food. I learned from my mother to equate food with love, so by the time I was ten I was wearing pants in size double Z, with balloon seats. I was definitely deep into the oral trip.
Then it was 1967, and I was at the temple in India. I noticed that everybody there fasted a lot, so one day I said to my teacher, "Hari Dass, can I fast?" (Actually, I didn't say it -- I wrote it on the slate I carried, because were were maun, silent, at that time.) Hari Dass answered, "If you'd like." I asked, "How long should I
fast?" He said, "Four days would be good." So I asked him, "How long do you fast?" He wrote, "Nine days, on every new moon." I thought, "Well, if he can do it, I can do it." So I wrote, "I will fast for nine days." And I looked very holy.
The time came, and I started the fast. And then I proceeded to spend the entire nine days thinking about nothing but food. I thought of the Thanksgiving dinners I'd had as a child; I visualized the roast turkey....
I did complete the fast. I made it through all nine days. But the interesting question was, while I was so busy fasting, what was it I was feeding?
Three months later, when I did my next nine-day fast, I was getting much better. ("Better" -- a new ego trip!) Now I spent the whole time thinking only about foods I could eat as a yogi. So I thought about spinach with lemon on it, and steaming bowls of rice ....
Time passed, and then a few years afterward, I was back in India again. Some friends and I were staying at a little village, and it seemed like a good opportunity to do another long fast. But this time, except for the fact that at noon, lemon and water or ginger tea was brought instead of food, I never even noticed I was fasting. I was just busy doing other things instead of eating. About halfway through, I thought, Oh, this is what fasting is about. Far out!" It's not about renouncing food -- it's about renouncing hunger! I hadn't even known what it was all about before, because I was so busy thinking that the ego-tripping I was doing was tapasya, that it was an austerity of some sort.
I've come to recognize that the real tapasya happens when we are so ripe to do it that we just do it. We do it joyfully, with a feeling of "Yeah -- of course. That's what happens now." We do it with a feeling of "Whew! Now I can be rid of that one." It's a
release, not self-denial. Ramana Maharshi said, "I didn't eat, and they said I was fasting." Right there in that statement is the essence of tapasya. As long as we think we're doing the austerity -- "Look at me! I'm giving this up!" -- it's just another ego trip. Whatever we may think we're renouncing, we're just stuffing our egos with both hands.
pp. 134-136
A few pages later, he describes a personal crisis point he reached as he tried to implement Maharajji's two instructions to him: "Ram Dass, tell the truth," and "Ram Dass, give up anger." In trying to live consistent with those instructions, Dass insults and rejects the people around him, throwing a plate of food into the face of a man who serves it to him. He writes:
Across the way, Maharajji was watching. "Ram Dass!"
I went over and sat down in front of him. He said to me, "Something troubling you?"
I said, "Yeah. I can't stand adharma. I can't stand that in all of us which takes us deeper into the illusion. I can't stand it in them -- they're all so impure! I can't stand it in myself. In fact I hate everybody in the world -- except you." And with that I started to cry -- not just to cry, but to really weep and wail. Maharajji tried to comfort me; he patted me on the head, he sent for milk and fed it to me. He was crying, and I was wailing and wailing. And when I got all finished with my wailing, he said to me, "I thought I told you not to get angry."
I said, "Yeah -- but you also told me to tell the truth, and the truth is that I'm angry."
Then he leaned toward me, until he was nose to nose and eye to eye, and he said, "Give up anger, and tell the truth."
I started to say, "But..." -- and then, right at that moment, I saw my predicament. See, what I was going to say to him was "But that isn't who I am." And in that instant, I saw in front of me the image of a coffin, and in the coffin was an image of who I thought myself to be. And what Maharajji was saying to me was "I'm telling you who you're going to be, after you're finished being who you think you are."
Then I looked at all those people, all of whom I detested, and I saw that one layer down, one tiny flick of the lens, I loved them all incredibly. I suddenly saw that the only reason I was angry with them was because I had a model of how I thought it ought to be, which was other than the way it was. How can you get angry at somebody for being what they are? You're trying to outguess God. ... The next time you get angry, look closely at what you're angry about. You'll see that you're angry because God didn't make the world the way you think it should have been made. ...
So the practice of satya requires that in all our doings -- in our dealings with other people, in steering our spiritual course, whatever -- we stay as close to the truth as we possibly can. Maharajji said to me, "Truth is the most difficult tapasya." It's the hardest austerity, the toughest one to do. He said, "People will hate you for telling the truth." And sometimes they do. "People will laugh at you and taunt you, they may even kill you," he said, "but you've got to tell the truth."
The trouble is, we can only tell the truth when we cease to identify with the part of ourselves we think we have to protect. If we're afraid of being laughed at or taunted or killed, we can't tell the truth; we can't tell the truth if we're busy guarding some
position. It's only when we realize that we're not as vulnerable as we fear we are that we can afford to tell the truth. ... I can never be straight with you if I need something from you. So in order to tell the truth to you, I have to give up whatever that need is inside myself. That's why satya is a practice of renunciation; what we're required to renounce are the attachments that keep us from speaking the truth.
pp. 146-47
I have lived my life trying to get people to like me. Oh, I've been reasonably successful at approaching and approximating truth at times, but I've often resisted telling it straight, rather than slant, for fear of harming others.
Or so I told myself.
But in the past few weeks, in particular, I've begun to notice how much of my fear of harming others might be a cloak for my fear of de-friending myself -- a fear of losing what I so strongly want -- connection, love, validation.
Am I ready to give up that desire? Not completely. Not yet. But I am, with the ideas of Monica and Ram Dass, beginning to see that my attachment to such relationships is not entirely benign, and that it may, curiously, be harmful.

Restore Backups with Windows 8 File History
The new Windows 8 backup program, File History, emphasizes saving your own data, not your apps and programs. After all, apps and programs can always be reinstalled. But many of the moments that inspired so many of your photos, videos, and documents can never be re-created.
To keep your files safe, File History automatically makes a copy of every file in your Documents, Music, Photos, and Videos libraries. It copies all the files on your desktop, as well. And File History automatically makes those copies every hour.
File History makes your backups easy to see and restore, letting you flip through different versions of your files and folders, comparing them to your current versions. Should you find a better version, a press of a button brings that older version back to life.
To browse through your backed up files and folders, restoring the ones you want, follow these steps:
1From the desktop, open the folder containing the items you'd like to retrieve.
For example, to retrieve items that once lived in your Documents, Music, Pictures, or Videos libraries, open that particular library. (The left edge of every folder offers one-click access to those libraries.)
To retrieve an item from a particular folder inside a library, open that particular folder. To see past versions of a particular file, click that file's name. (Don't open it; just select its name to highlight it.) Or, to restore everything, click the word Libraries in the left pane.
2Click the Home tab on the Ribbon atop your folder; then click the History button.
Clicking the History button fetches the File History program. The program looks much like a plain old folder. The figure, for example, shows what happens if you click the word Libraries in any folder's left pane and then click the History button.
The File History program shows you what it has backed up: your libraries, your desktop, your contacts, and your favorite websites.
Feel free to open the libraries and folders inside the File History window. You can also peek inside the files you find there to see their contents.
3Choose what you'd like to restore.
Point and click your way through the libraries, folders, and files until you spot the item or items you'd like to restore.
When you're looking at what you want to restore, move to the next step.
4Move forward or backward in time to find the version you'd like to restore.
To browse through different versions of what you're currently viewing, choose the left-pointing arrow along the bottom. To see a newer version, choose the right-pointing arrow.
As you move forward and backward through time, feel free to click open libraries, folders, or individual files, peeking inside them until you're looking at the version that you want to retrieve.
5Click the Restore button to restore your desired version.
Whether you're looking at an individual file, a folder, or an entire library's contents, clicking the Restore button places that item back in the place where it used to live.
That brings up a potential problem, however: What happens if you try to restore an older file named Notes into a place that already contains a file named Notes? Windows warns you of the problem.
6Choose how to handle the conflict.
If Windows notices a naming conflict with the item you're trying to restore, File History offers you three ways to handle the situation.
7Exit File History by closing the window.
You close the File History window just as you close any other window: Click the X in its top-right corner.
Tip: For more information about Windows 8 and its features, explore Windows 8 For Dummies, available online.

The Letter Generator tool is designed to help students learn to identify all the essential parts of a business or friendly letter, and then generate letters by typing information into letter templates. A sample letter is included, and students can learn about the parts of a letter by reading descriptions of each part.
Once students have become familiar with letter formats, they are prompted to write their own letter. Students follow the steps and fill in specific fields in the template (for example, heading, salutation, closing, signature, and so on). They may even add a decorative border and postscript to the friendly letter. The finished letter can be saved, e-mailed, or printed.
This useful tool provides step-by-step instructions for familiarizing users with the necessary elements of written correspondence, and can serve as an excellent practice method for composing and proofreading both formal and informal letters.

Air Bonsai | Create your "little star"
843 743 $
3 784
Air Bonsai is comprised of two components: the top half "little star" and bottom half "energy base".
Air Bonsai incorporates both floating and rotating functions.
Watch how to transplant your favorite plant to the Air Bonsai. There are two types of transplanting mediums: moss and lava. Nurture your plant and watch it thrive!
Air Bonsai are created on the island of Kyushu, Japan. Rich in nature, the island's environment is ideal for the production of Air Bonsai.
Each porcelain is meticulously crafted by hand. The process takes 3 months.
The shaped porcelain base is air dried. Throughout the drying process, the craftsman continuously inspect the base for any changes to the design.
Firing the porcelain base in a kiln permanently sets its shape. Temperature control is critical throughout the firing process. (We wait and pray)
Patterns and colors are hand-brushed with a "Fu-de" (Japanese brush). Each coat affects the color and vibrancy of the finished product. Glaze firing completes the production process.
We will package your product in traditional Japanese style. The product will be wrapped in traditional and vintage fabric, and put in a"Kiri" Box, made of Paulownia wood.
The old traditional fabric used for the cushion is from Japan's early 1868-1960. These one-of-a-kind items cannot be selected. We kindly ask for your understanding.
Risques et défis
We are really thrilled and excited about launching the Air Bonsai project. We have been planning and working on this project for more than 10 months now. However, during this process, our most important deed is to fulfill our promise to our backers and to deliver Air Bonsai until the deadline. To mitigate risks and avoid any problems, we have created a high-quality prototype and have preliminary agreements with our porcelain manufacturers beforehand.
There is just one issue in our hands, we are limited to export and carry any plants outside of Japan. To solve this matter, we have support from our team members in the United States who will negotiate with regional bonsai and plant makers. We remind you that the bonsai for our prototypes is just an image. The actual plants we will be using to send to you is for example "matsu", a pine tree from your country. We will resolve any issues along the way to make sure we deliver to our backers.
We are 100% ready for this challenge, and confident to deliver Air Bonsai you will be amazed at! We will continue to commit, work hard and keep you well informed through this process.
Thank you, Arigatou-gozaimasu.

For his "SQCITY" series, Donaldson begins by photographing intersections and points of passage or transition in the physical world—doors and doorframes, the grid formations of city streets, subway platforms—before engaging in a process of stretching and altering them to produce what look like large monochrome blocks punctuated by streaks of paint. To create his "RDX" images, he captures photographs of landscapes, cityscapes, and other urban motifs, then erases, moves, or plays with the scale of elements within them, producing colorful, textured effects and directional blurs that recall Gerhard Richter's squeegees.

If the Cubs ask Kevin Gregg, he'll tell them he's available on Monday. But manager Lou Piniella wants to give his closer a few days off because of a tired arm, so Carlos Marmol is the designated closer.
Gregg had converted 10 consecutive save opportunities until the weekend, when he missed twice against the Marlins. On Saturday the Cubs rallied in the 10th to win, 9-8, but on Sunday, Dan Uggla and Cody Ross hit back-to-back home runs off Gregg in the ninth for a 3-2 walk-off win.
"I think we'll give [Gregg] a little time off tonight," Piniella said before Monday's series opener against the Reds. "Hopefully, we can give him some time off tonight and tomorrow. He has a little bit of a tired arm. There's no pain in any particular area, but just achy. What I'm going to do is talk to him, and if that's the case, we can stay away from him. We've got to know it."
Piniella had checked with his closer before Sunday's game, and again in the sixth before calling on him for the ninth. Both times, Gregg said he was fine.
"Closers take a lot of responsibility, and they feel, and rightfully so, they can pitch through anything," Piniella said. "Sometimes you have to be a little more realistic."
For the season, Gregg has converted 21 of 26 save opportunities.
Piniella was still recovering from Sunday's loss.
"I don't know if I got my breath from that finish," he said. "The first [home run] took the air out of me, and the second one, I needed a tank to get from the dugout to the clubhouse. That's the quickest ending I've ever seen. That was good morning, good afternoon, good night. Unbelievable."
The bullpen is a little overworked after the starters totaled 14 out of 28 innings vs. the Marlins. Carlos Zambrano was limited to three innings on Saturday because of a stiff back, and Piniella said that his starter may have to help out in the 'pen.
"I haven't talked to the 'Z-man' yet," he said.

New hall nearly ready for students | News
RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. (July 17, 2013)--M Street Residence Hall, a new five-story housing facility at Arkansas Tech University, is being outfitted with the amenities that will make it home for 290 students beginning next month.
Aaron Hogan, associate dean for residence life at Arkansas Tech, reports that the beds were delivered and installed last week. Lobby furniture will begin arriving on Thursday, July 18, and the mattresses will be delivered the first week in August.
Once the washers and dryers are installed in the M Street Residence Hall basement laundry room in mid-August, the facility will be ready to house students for the first time.
Freshmen will move in on Aug. 24, followed by returning students two days later. Classes for the fall 2013 semester at Arkansas Tech begin on Aug. 28.
"The first thing I notice in the building is the size of the rooms," said Hogan. "The ceilings are very tall, so it gives the building an open feel throughout. I believe that will be conducive to student living. One of the other things I really like about the facility is the color we have added throughout. It makes it comfortable and fun. I can talk all day about what I think it's going to be like, but it's the students who will get in there and make it their home. I'm excited to see that transformation."
M Street Residence Hall encompasses 64,170 square feet. Van Horn Construction of Russellville began work on the $10.1 million project on Oct. 21, 2011. AMR Architects of Little Rock designed the facility, which will house male students on the first, third and fifth floors and female students on the second and fourth floors.
The construction of M Street Residence Hall is a milestone in what has been a multi-year effort to revitalize the southwest corner of the Arkansas Tech campus.
Recent renovations to four housing facilities adjacent to the new M Street Residence Hall --- Critz Hall, Hughes Hall, Tucker Hall and Wilson Hall --- mean that beginning this fall there will be more than 700 Tech students living in that pod of five residence halls.
"In between the Critz, Hughes, M Street, Wilson and Tucker residence halls, we have created a green space for the students to have a place to hang out and do things outdoors," said Hogan. "It's a pretty open space that all flows together. I think the simple fact that a large percentage of the campus population is going to be housed in that area will make it a focal point of campus life moving forward."
In all, Arkansas Tech now has space to house approximately 3,000 students in university housing. That is more than triple the number of students who lived on campus at Tech just 15 years ago.
Hogan said that the Arkansas Tech Office of Residence Life works to not only provide for the safety and well-being of those 3,000 students, but also to provide students living on campus with additional resources to augment their classroom education.
He said that among the most valuable of those resources are the 90 undergraduate resident assistants and 15 graduate student resident directors who live among their fellow students in the residence halls.
Resident directors have been engaged in training for the fall 2013 semester on a daily basis since July 1. Resident assistants will begin their training process on Aug. 3.
"We provide our resident directors and resident assistants with the tools they need concerning policy and procedure, but of equal importance, we also teach them how to network with the residents in their different buildings," said Hogan. "We want them to work to build a community within their residence halls. That's how students create friendships, meet people with similar interests and meet people who are different from them.
"At the core of what we try to do through our residence life programming is to be an extension of the classroom," continued Hogan. "It could be asking an expert to talk to residents about health and wellness. It could be learning a life skill, such as how to change a flat tire. They are all important things to know, but perhaps topics that aren't always covered in a traditional classroom. We want to provide students with skills that can affect them in a positive way for the rest of their lives."
There are a limited number of spaces remaining for students who wish to live in university housing at Arkansas Tech during the fall 2013 semester but have yet to reserve their space.

Do all stretches gradually. Do not push or bounce the
stretch. You should feel a stretch, not pain.
Breathe normally as
you stretch. Do not hold your breath. If you like to time your breathing with
your exercise, you can breathe out as you stretch, breathe normally in and out
2 or 3 times as you hold the stretch, and then relax. This will mean each
stretch takes 15 to 30 seconds.

I have been to the party room, the cleanest and most casual clothes, 4-13 people are good, the sound is good, sing k first class, better than Newxxx, there is a separate toilet.

From the inquiry to the booking process, each person in charge is able to answer questions with patience. On the same day, once they arrived at the venue, they had prepared everything and the service attitude was not over. All the arrangements and equipment, we are very happy. Next time we will come back to play. Let's engage in the party again.

I couldn't estimate it better than I thought. I originally went to the Christmas event venue, so I went to see it with 4 friends. I saw 3 rooms, No.10 Japan, No.9 French Romantic 2 person room, No.8 Wow Night can be 10-20 people. There is also karaoke, the price is about 150 or so, the food is extra, here is a good play with friends, there are monopoly, UNO, hell roulette, crazy flying chess, sparrows... drinks and refrigerators have cream, Master Kong's drinks. Food can be selected (to the meeting. Home), the standard is good, with environmentally-friendly paper utensils, this time we have 6 people ordered 6 kinds of food, enough and the price is $100 a person. There are salads, 2 snack platters, 2 staple foods, 1 puff dessert. (To the home) is a good choice. The happiest can bring a paparazzi, but the paparazzi should be kept clean, not allowed to urinate, and a cleaning fee is imposed.

(11/P74) TRENTON - The Department of Environmental Protection has released a new film documentary and companion school curriculum as part of its continuing effort to educate New Jersey residents about co-existing with black bears as numbers of the animals have increased, resulting in more bear-human encounters.
More than four years in the making, the documentary entitled "Living with New Jersey Black Bears" was developed with scientific input from New Jersey wildlife experts. The end result is a comprehensive and up-to-date educational film to help the public better understand and co-exist with black bears by taking viewers into the world of the black bear and to see how the State manages its bear population.
The 60-minute documentary, created by wildlife film producer Dan Bertalan, explores the growing national conflict of sharing the landscape with black bear populations, and offers a special 15-minute segment uniquely devoted to the issue of black bears in New Jersey.
"Understanding Black Bears," which is an adapted and expanded classroom version of the documentary, also is now available. This new interactive classroom curriculum covers 11 topics with 29 separate classroom activities and will be distributed free to interested school systems and teachers.
These new tools are part of the State's educational portion of its Comprehensive Black Bear Management Policy, which was approved last year to deal with an overpopulation of black bears in the Northwest part of the State, and a growing presence of black bears throughout the rest of New Jersey
"Black bears are part of the wide ranging mix of wildlife that lives in our state, providing an incredible diversity that requires consistent and professional management by our fish and wildlife experts,'' said Amy Cradic, the DEP's Assistant Commissioner for Natural and Historic Resources. "The science- and fact-based comprehensive black bear policy recognizes that bear management requires a combination of tools, including public education and scientific research.
"This new film and curriculum will provide an important tool in helping our residents learn to co-exist with black bears and to better understand the complex nature of the job faced by our top-notch wildlife team,'' said Assistant Commissioner Cradic.
The black bear policy includes public education, research, bear habitat analysis and protection, hunting, non-lethal bear management techniques, enforcement of laws, and efforts to keep human food sources, especially household trash, away from bears to limit bear-human encounters.
New Jersey boasts a robust black bear population, estimated at more than 3,400 bears in the northwestern part of the State. Bears sightings have been reported in all 21 counties. Sightings have increased in recent years in many suburban towns and even urban areas.
With New Jersey's black bear and human populations at all time highs, bear-human conflicts have risen during the last decade. They range from simple nuisance bears foraging in residential trash cans or invading backyard bird feeders to the problem of bears losing their fear of humans, which poses a safety threat to people and can have fatal result for bears.
"It's rewarding using the impact of this documentary to help turn a controversy into a win-win situation,'' said Bertalan, the documentary's producer. "The bears win because people can learn how to avoid things that might result in their destruction. People win because they learn to appreciate this remarkable creature that is a symbol of a healthy and balanced environment.''
"Living with New Jersey Black Bears'' and the "Understanding Black Bears'' curriculum was jointly financed by the DEP's Division of Fish and Wildife in partnership with state government fish and wildlife agencies in New York, Florida and Arkansas, plus the New Jersey State Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs. They are available to interested schools or organizations by contacting Michelle Smith at (609) 259-6961, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

hi team,
it's a bit sad that all the examples use the ext js 3 - default theme (only slight changes).
we have a folder:
resources / themes / images / default
which contains lots of images, no other folder for other themes.
Do we need to create those images for new themes as well for non css3 fallback or are they auto-generated? quite a difference regarding creating new themes.
i remember from the conf. the statement, that ext4 would need almost no more images...
in resources / css we have ext.css and ext4.css.
if i include the ext4.css instead the other one, nothing gets rendered properly anymore.
best regards and hoping for more information

There seems to be some sort of indie T-Shirt rennaissance happening in Dallas, TX. Fur Face Boy, Grits Apparel … and now Sleepy Dan. Dallas is certainly home to some playfully inspired up-and-coming indie T-Shirt brands. Sleepy Dan is certainly one of those up-and-coming brands that you should keep an eye on.
Sleepy Dan recently released their first collection of T-Shirts, aptly named Series 1. The collection features a set of 6 T-Shirt designs loosely centered on the theme of sleeping. So expect to see things like alarm clocks and pillows in the Sleepy Dan designs. Sleepy Dan also features a few homages to pop culture, as seen in the Sleepy Bowser and Big D T-Shirt.
The Sleepy Dan T-Shirts are priced at $26 a piece and are available now at the Sleepy Dan Shop. You can also find a limited selection of ladies sized tees and a Series 1 Sleepy Dan sticker and button fan pack.

How Google Glass wants to change the world for travelers
"OK Glass, make a video." Not as crazy as it sounds.
Google has finally released details of its much-anticipated futuristic Google Glass, including new video and photos detailing the actual real world uses beyond the goofy glasses that we've seen Sergey Brin use in the wild.
And you can now order it if you're a hardcore fan, using some complicated Google+ and Twitter hashtag maneuvers, making shorts video, posting pictures and if selected, then having US$1500 change for the chance to buy it.
The uses seem pretty simple, and seem to compress all of our digital gadget and communication needs into one device, this glass. And since it was first announced, there have been some changes in scope and UI, as Techcrunch notes:
"The UI shown in the video is radically more subdued than in the original concept video. Gone are the little circles and VH1 Pop-Up Video-ish notifications. Instead, users interact with Google Glass through a single pane in the top right. Everything from Google searches to notifications to hangouts seemingly happen in this one space -- rather than dancing around the field of vision like in earlier Google Glass videos."
Some uses, most of them applicable in travel, in the complete video above.
Story from Rafat Ali, at Skift.

- New York never this popular
- Israel uses billboards to attract Christians

Select company: Paul Edgerley new member of Accounting Hall of Fame
Submitted by Communications and Marketing
The managing director of a noted Boston investment firm is the newest member of the College of Business Administration Accounting Hall of Fame.
Paul B. Edgerley, managing director at Bain Capital in Boston, was recently inducted into the hall. Edgerley graduated from K-State with honors in 1978, earning a bachelor of science in business administration. He then spent three years with the accounting firm Peat, Marwick and Mitchell before earning his master's in business administration with distinction from Harvard Business School.
Edgerley spent five years at Bain and Company where he worked as a consultant and manager in the automotive, health care, information services and retail industries. In 1988 he joined Bain Capital, a private investment firm, as a principal until he attained his current position of managing director in 1990. Today, Bain Capital has more than $65 billion in assets under management.
Edgerley is active on numerous business and charitable boards. Currently he is on the boards of the Boston Celtics, Hero Honda Corporation, HD Supply, Keystone Automotive, MEI Conlux, Sensata Technologies and Steel Dynamics. He is also a member of dean advisory councils at both K-State and Harvard Business School. His charitable boards include the Shamrock Foundation, the Harvard Business School Arthur Rock Foundation, the U.S. board of The Right to Play and New Profit Inc.
In 2010, Edgerley and his wife, Sandra, established an endowed deanship in the K-State College of Business Administration. Their commitment of $5 million provides continuous funding to ensure the college will have distinguished leadership and assist K-State in becoming a top 50 research university by 2025.
"The Accounting Hall of Fame recognizes alumni of the program who have achieved positions of leadership both in the business world and in their communities. Their accomplishments and character reflect well on Kansas State University, the College of Business Administration and on the department of accounting," said Richard Ott, head of the department of accounting.
"In honoring individuals selected for the K-State Accounting Hall of Fame we seek to hold out role models for students currently in the program and for young alumni just starting their careers. Paul Edgerley exemplifies all of these qualities and has been one of K-State's biggest supporters," Ott said.
Previous inductees to the Accounting Hall of Fame inductees include Julie Bryant, Stan Weber, Randolph Buseman and Rand Berney. The first member inducted was Allen Webber in 1999.

Grey Hair Gets Hotter!
By Lois Joy Johnson , April 03, 2013 06:00 AM
Good news! The "things-that-make-us-look-old" list is getting shorter. We're down to three: wrinkles, brown spots and a saggy body. There used to be five but whitening strips eliminated yellow teeth and now grey hair --the ultimate taboo --is a definite do, not a don't. It's so super-cool that even Madonna and Nicole Kidman were spotted recently with grey roots. The beauty chatter I've been hearing lately is from dye-hard fans, 50+, who can't wait to go grey. But here's the catch, they are unwillingly to do it without style and sex appeal! This is about aging aggressively not gracefully --you're in control. Role models include rock stars, actresses, models and politicians who are anything but frumpy. Find your way to grey in one of three ways:
GREY FOR AN EDGE. Short grey crops are irreverent and drop-dead sexy when they have long shaggy bangs like French pop star Francoise Hardy, 69. Second best is a spiky tousled cut like grey poster girl Jamie Lee Curtis. You want to keep it a little piece-y and gamine around the ears and nape. Run from any stylist who suggests shaving the nape, clipping around the ears.To look sexy your short grey hair has to move.
You should be able to run your hands through it and know it looks even better that way. Just grab your jeans, a leather jacket and go. Though, short doesn't get you off the maintenance hook. You may still need a blow-dryer and/or a mini flat-iron to style up --especially if your grey comes in coarse and is curly or frizz prone. Ramp up the eye makeup too!
GREY TO GO CLASSY. Short grey with some layers and volume looks worldly but modern. It's sophisticated without looking stuffy. I think Christine Lagarde, 57 chief of the International Monetary Fund does it by channeling Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestley in The Devil Wears Prada. Blow it smooth and glossy. A famous NYC hair pro, Gad Cohen, once told me you can't have wrinkled grey hair and lines on your face. Shampoo in shine and plump up smooth volume with a hydrating duo that contain protein, omega 3 essential fatty acids, keratin and protein. Try: Nexxus Youth Renewal Rejuvenating Shampoo and Conditioner ($14.99 and 19.99, each, ulta.com).
GREY TO OWN YOUR LOOK. If you're in transition, blend grey with your real still-there color or faux highlights like Diane Keaton and Gloria Steinem do. It says you're totally comfortable in your own skin ...and hair. Keep the color mix looking healthy with an intense hydrating mask rich in panthenol (pro-Vitamin B3),
hyaluronic acid, omega 6 fatty acids and natural oils --once or twice a week. Eat leafy greens (like kale and spinach) for minerals and iron and protein from eggs, fish, soy, beans and lentils. Extreme diets can leave grey sparse, dull, dry and wimpy. Try: L' Oreal Paris Power Moisture Rush Mask ($6.99, ulta.com) or Davines Momo Moisturizing Revitalizing Cream ($19.20, drugstore.com).
Now if we can only get wrinkles to be cool (personally, I love them), the list will be down to two!

Sacrifice Lyrics
How do you measure cost of that which can't be bought or sold? The giving of which bears the price, this is my sacrifice. The price I'll pay for you alone... sacrifice. Let not winter's ragged hand decay the beauty of the heart. Not even such a thing as death can keep our souls apart. And I pledge my devotion to you. In life or death, my all for you. There's no price too high, this is my sacrifice. Live and die for you, no hesitation. Live and die for you, no reservation. Were it mine to give, I'd give you the world and seal it with a kiss goodnight. There's no price too high; this is my

We have put together another great workshop with an international travelling model. We are bringing in Hanna H who is Canadian but living in Europe. We will be focusing the evening on creating beautiful artistic images that you can use in your portfolio.
We are limiting this class to 6 participants to maximize shooting time.
OUR MODEL - Hanna H
Who Should Attend?
Our workshops at The Production Studio are here to provide you with a means to expand your photographic knowledge or allow you to just come out and shoot to help build your portfolio. We hire the best talent and work with agencies to provide cost effective and efficient workshops that will guide you in your photographic journey.
What you will need to bring:
• A DSLR camera
• Fully Charged Battery
• Freshly Formatted Memory Card(s)
• General Lenses – 24-70mm, 24-105mm and 70-200mm If you have a macro lens, 50mm or 85mm please bring it along. It really depends on the type of workshop
• Pocket Wizards (if you have your own, otherwise one will be provided for you)
Sony/Minolta DSLR Owners:
ATTENTION!!!! Some Sony cameras use a proprietary hot-shoe for their cameras; you will need to bring your own hot shoe adapter to attach to your camera so our studio's wireless trigger can communicate with your camera
• Bring along a list of shots you'd like to achieve or posing ideas. It can help to ensure that you get the perfect image.
Model Release
A model release for non-commercial purposes, signed by the model, will provided to each photographer. All photographs from the photo shoot can be used for personal promotional purposes in your portfolio, on the web, in print media such post cards.
Cancellation Policy
If you register for one of our workshops please note the cancellation policy. If you register you have up to 7-14 days (depending on the workshop) to cancel with a full refund. Please understand that the cancellation policy is there to help ensure that classes are able to run for both the studio, models and MUA. While we understand that things come up, think of purchasing a workshop as purchasing a ticket for an event or concert. In those instances you do not get a refund. That being said, If you cancel within those 7 days and I am able to find someone to replace you I will issue a full refund.

IWA: Software offering that can be deployed on Linux/Intel
environment SMP, cluster, virtual and cloud environments. The host Informix database can be run on Linux/Intel,
HP-UX/Itanium, AIX/Power, Sparc/Solaris environments.
Exalytics: Runs on 4-socket Intel Westmere with 1TB (whether it runs Linux or Solaris) and can be combined to create a an exalytics pool. Would need use the specified hardware from Oracle to use this.
IWA: Designed to provide consistent performance without additional tuning and maintenance like index creation, statistics collection, cubing, pre-calculation of aggregates. Advanced algorithms achieve query on compressed data, exploit the SIMD instructions, on-chip cache, etc. See the details in this paper.
Exalytics: Performance is achieved In-Memory intelligent result set cache, In-Memory cubes and tuning the resultset caches, cubes, etc. Here is a quote from Oracle paper: For best query acceleration, Oracle Exalytics provides tools to analyze usage, identify and automate the pre-seeding of result caches. The pre-seeding ensures instant responsiveness for queries at run time.
Exalytics: Claims typical 5x compression. No information on whether the size comparison includes the size of the index/etc.
Network support:
Exalytics: Needs Infiniband.
Supported Applications and compatibility.
IWA: Designed to accelerate application performance without needing any changes to application, reports or BI tools.
Exalytics: Designed to work with Oracle BI Foundation
only. Optional optimized version of Oracle BI
Foundation to improve the performance by 3X. Optional usually means additonal cost of acquisition. Essentially, if you're not a 100% oracle, Exa* platform shop, you can't use Exalytics. The interface seems to be via Essbase, because Oracle says Essbase applications will run as is. It also comes with a new data visualization tool.
Exalytics seems to be packgaing of Exadata (in the backend), TimesTen (for frontend and resultset caching), Essbase (for cubing services). There are additional technologies like in-memory columnar compression. The performance relies heavily on resulset caching (run the query once, save the results in-memory and when the same query comes again, return the query without actually executing), cubing. This means, the DBA will have to ensure right cubes are created, right results are cached, etc, etc. In-memory analytics should lead to less pre-calculation, not more. For tuning the workload, the 4-star wizard has to turn in to 5-star wizard to learn and tune all the new parameters, environment of Exalytics. Even with this, the best performance seems to be 15X to 20X.
for query tuning. Once you define the data that's accelerated, there's no tuning to do (like cubing, resultset caching).
The incredible performance comes from innovative architecture and patented algorithms. Because of this,
IWA can run in SMP, Cluster, virtual and Cloud environments providing this great performance.
Unlike Exalytics, IWA is designed to accelerate queries from custom applications and third party BI tools.
