The Smurfs is a 2D platform game created by Infogrames for the NES, the Super Nintendo, the Gameboy, the Sega Master System, the Sega Mega Drive, the Sega Mega CD, and the Sega Game Gear. It is based on the popular Saturday morning cartoon show from the 1980s featuring the creations of European cartoonist Peyo. It is followed by at least two sequels, The Smurfs Travel The World and The Smurfs' Nightmare. The Super Nintendo version was adapted for use on the Gameboy Advance system and released as Revenge Of The Smurfs.
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
You control a Smurf who must venture into the forest to rescue his fellow Smurfs that are being held captive by Gargamel. Along the way, Smurf can collect bonus items such as sarsaparilla leaves to increase his life count and raspberries to replenish his energy. Each section of the forest has its own set of dangers that Smurf must be careful to avoid. (In the Super Nintendo and Sega Mega Drive versions, you must also at the beginning of the game make your way through the Smurf Village!)
In most versions of the game, Smurf must complete a series of levels in a progressive order before he can take on a boss character that holds one of the Smurfs captive. In the Gameboy Advance version, Smurf can complete levels in any order, since the primary goal in each of the levels is to collect all the stars in it before reaching its exit. However, he must complete all levels in a certain section before he can take on the boss character and progress on to the next section of levels. There are also mini-games that can be unlocked in the Gameboy Advance version by getting all the stars on all the levels in each section.
Notes[edit | edit source]
With the exception of the Gameboy version, all versions of this game were released solely in Europe due to the continued popularity of the Smurf characters in that area. Infogrames was looking at releasing the Super Nintendo version in America in 1996, but most likely backed out of doing so due to the decline of the 16-bit home game market at that point.
The Super Nintendo version is confirmed to have an internal lockout in its program when played on the RetroDuo, a Super Nintendo/NES clone system that normally allows games from any region to be played on the system.
The Gameboy version had a limited release in America in 1996, then was given a Player's Choice re-release two years later by Nintendo.
The Sega CD version had special animation sequences created by Infogrames.

I was recently asked how and why I began my blogging journey and what I like to blog about. I thought I would share with you the answers to these questions and my plan for the future.
**Who am I:
I am a mom of 4 kiddos (3 girls and a boy), wife (married for 14 years to my high school sweetheart), occupational therapist, and lover of all things fashion and shopping! I was the girl at work who who was forced to wear a uniform of sorts but always found a way to accessorize that uniform and make it unique and stylish! I have loved shopping since I can remember. Some of my favorite memories are when my mom and I would take all day shopping trips–we would literally lose track of time and even forget to eat because of how much we enjoyed shopping and finding a good sale!
**Why I started blogging:
I actually started an Instagram page first with the nudging from a couple of my husbands cousins! They commented on a few different occasions that I should, so a couple of years ago I thought, why not! After posting selfies in my outfits for about a year I decided it was time to start a blog–and mostly because all the "big time" Instagram fashion accounts did, so I figured I better too, lol!! I have now went from posting selfies to recruiting my supportive hubby as my photographer (and believe it or not sometimes my 8 year old daughter too)!!
**What I blog about:
I love, and let me stress, LOVE a good sale! With 4 kids, I mostly focus on budget friendly items and of course I will splurge on a few special pieces each season too (those that I know will be pieces that will last and can be worn many ways or for many seasons to come). My fave items to blog about are pieces I can wear everyday! I adore casual dresses, leggings with tunic tops, distressed denim, booties, statement necklaces, and denim jackets to name a few! I frequently shop at Target, Macy's, Nordstrom, American Eagle, SheIn, Express, H&M, and Forever 21, as well as local and online boutiques for one of a kind pieces!
**Future Goals
Well, I would ultimately love to blog full time about fashion and style and possibly blog about traveling with my family too–but until that day happens (?) I plan to keep moving forward and do my best posting what I love–fashion!! I really do love showcasing my finds and sharing them with all my followers.
Below I will share a few of my favorite outfit posts thus far and link them if the looks are still available too! Thank you for following along on my journey, I appreciate the support!
Do you have any ideas for me? Would you like to see me post about anything new? I'm open to new ideas and I always love reading your comments and do my very best to respond to each and every comment ❤ Nicole
Find my distressed denim here and here.
Find my patent boots here.
Find my high waist leggings here.
Find my long tunic sweater here.
Here's a great strappy bralette I love, and another lacy one here too!

Unique style. Ambidextrous design. Plug-and-play functionality. Windows 8-compatible.
Sleek profile doesn't make much ergonomic sense. Pricey for a non-gaming mouse.
Bottom Line
The Targus Ultralife Wireless Mouse sports an interesting look that probably makes for a good conversation starter, but its low profile and standard feature set make its price tag difficult to justify.
The Targus Ultralife Wireless Mouse ($49.99 direct) attempts to fuse fashion and technology and, to a certain extent, succeeds on both levels. It definitely makes a loud, albeit curious, stylistic statement, sporting a sleek, bronze-finished chassis with a circular hole piercing the body. On the "technology" side of the equation, though, that loud statement is reduced to a soft whimper. Its low profile fits awkwardly in the hand, and, for an otherwise ordinary mouse with standard functionality, its $50 price tag is difficult to justify in the face of equally versatile, more affordable mice.
Design and Features
The Ultralife's sleek, low profile body is tastefully minimalist in appearance, though not pared down as dramatically as the Manhattan Stealth Touch Mouse . The left- and right- click buttons are integrated into the handsome bronze-finished chassis, and lends an overall streamlined look to the Ultralife. Aside from the tiny scroll wheel and an etched Targus insignia, the face of the Ultralife is entirely unadorned. A battery indicator life beneath the scroll wheel flashes red whenever the battery levels dip too low, but it's only visible through the thin slit that separates the left- and right- click buttons. The underside, meanwhile, is constructed out of black plastic, and there you'll find a power switch, two glide strips that allow smooth movement on most surfaces, a battery compartment for one AA battery (one is included), and a magnetic strip that attracts the dongle when you take the Ultralife on the go. The magnetic holder is a good idea, at least in theory, though not as practical as a dongle compartment, and, one can easily imagine the dongle becoming dislodged whenever the Ultralife is tossed into a backpack. By far the most curious aspect of the Ultralife's design is the hole on the lower right side of the mouse, which pierces the chassis and exposes the surface beneath the mouse, bringing to mind a pierced earlobe. Maybe the hole represents the emptiness of modern life. Or maybe the Ultralife can be used ironically as a keychain. Either way, it's an interesting piece of flair that ultimately doesn't affect performance and is highly subjective, so make of it what you will.
The Ultralife is compatible with Windows (Windows 7, Vista, and XP). It's also compatible with the upcoming Windows 8 operating system, as I was able to use it on a system with Windows 8 Release Preview installed, and found that the scroll wheel scrolls through tiled interface of the start screen. Unlike the HP Wireless Mouse X4000, it's also compatible with Mac operating systems.
Measuring 0.8 by 2.25 by 4 inches (HWD), the Ultralife has a thin profile that matches the ultrabook aesthetic. It's a cool design, but an ergonomically questionable call. My hand had to assume an awkward claw-like position during use, since resting it on the Ultralife resulted in a five-finger drag. That said, the Ultralife deserves props for its ambidextrous design that can accommodate righties and lefties unlike, say, the HP Wi-Fi Touch Mouse X7000 .
The Ultralife connects wirelessly through a dongle that beams out a 2.4GHz signal. Since it's plug-and-play, setting it up simply requires plugging the dongle into a free USB port and waiting for several moments as the drivers are installed. If your system has a limited number of available USB ports, as is often the case with ultrabooks, you may be better off with a mouse that features Bluetooth connectivity, like the Verbatim Easy Riser Bluetooth Notebook Laser Mouse.
Aside from its ergonomic hang-ups, the Ultralife is a decent performer. Its 1200 DPI laser sensor ensures smooth movement, even on higher resolution displays, and the left- and right- clicks as well as the scroll wheel don't feel stiff. Response rate is also on point, and there's no noticeable lag during use.
The Targus Ultralife Wireless Mouse is one of the more interesting-looking mice you'll encounter. That's not to say that it's unattractiveit just may not be everyone's cup of tea. Still, its low profile makes for an awkward user experience. That, and its standard functionality, makes it pretty difficult to justify its $50 price tag.
Compare the Targus Ultralife Wireless Mouse with several other computer mice side by side.

A Florida teacher could face serious punishment of her own after doling out a unique brand of strange punishment to her students. After showing the Pixar movie Up in her class, Laurie Bailey-Cutkomp, a science teacher at Zephyrhills High School in Pasco County, decided the best way to deal with misbehaving students was to put them in the kind of conical collars you see on sick dogs.
In the movie Up, the character Dug, a talking Golden Retriever, is forced to wear the conical collar, and it's referred to as "the cone of punishment." The collar, also known as Elizabethan collars, are usually meant to prevent dogs and cats who have just undergone surgery from chewing at their own wounds and stitches.
Bailey-Cutkomp decided to adopt the cones as her own form of punishment and made at least eight students wear them during class.
"Ms. Bailey-Cutkomp, your actions show extremely poor judgment and concern me for several reasons. I am stunned that you would put dog collars on students for any reason," wrote Pasco Superintendent Heather Fiorentino in a letter. "I am very concerned that you used this collar to punish and embarrass students in front of their peers."
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The superintendent has now recommended that Bailey-Cutkomp be fired.
Though, at least one student who had worn the cone told WTSP that the whole thing was a joke, and that she feels terrible her teacher may now be fired.

The Boy Scout Rule
I am reading a book titled "Clean Code". It was written by Robert C. Martin (aka Uncle Bob).
One thing I like about reading books like these is that they put words on things that I do or think. They express them in a way I did not think about.
Ruby/God/Dash and undead processes.
I have a god script that starts a process that I want to run.
My god config file contained:
God.watch do |w|
w.name = "foobar"
w.start = "rails runner 'SomeClass.SomeMethod'"
When god starts this, it starts TWO processes:
sh -c rails runner "SomeClass.SomeMethod"
rails runner "SomeClass.SomeMethod"
Send email with attachment from Ubuntu CLI
With the help of google, I've found a way to easily send an email that contains an attachment from the command line.
Usage: mail.attach "Here is your file" email@example.com /tmp/somefile.txt email@example.com
Create a file called mail.attach (or whatever you want) in your ~/bin/ folder and put this in it:
Je me suis désabonné de l'annuaire Pages Jaunes (un petit geste pour l'environnement)
Aujourd'hui, j'ai demander de ne plus recevoir d'annuaire de pages jaunes. J'utilise internet et l'application Pages Jaunes sur mon iPhone de toutes façon.

Removing extra whitespaces on bunch of PHP files using Ack-grep and Emacs
As a follow up to my own post on Indentations: Tabs vs. Spaces, I wanted to cleanup a number of files that contained a lot of extra and useless whitespaces that were getting on my nerves.
I did not want to spend too much time on this so, here is what I did.
First, here is what I have in my .emacs files that is needed for this to work:
(require 'whitespace)
(setq-default global-whitespace-mode t)
(setq-default whitespace-modes (quote (php-mode c-mode)))
Command cache-clear needs a higher bootstrap level to run
I created a new VMWare appliance for the project that I am working on. I deployed the project and created the DB and all that and when I was trying to access the site, it told me the site was offline. I decided to install DRUSH and clear the cache and see if I can find more information about this problem.
Once I installed drush, I got this error:

Command cache-clear needs a higher bootstrap level to run - you will need invoke drush from a more functional[error]
Drupal environment to run this command.
... how the internet works
This is a great post about how the internet works. MUST READ :)
Install pear without network (no internet access/offline)
I was faced with a problem. I wanted to use drush on a server that had no internet access. Well, I could connect to it but it could not (for security reasons) connect to the outside world.
Drush requires PEAR's Console_Table and that in turns requires PEAR, obviously.
First I downloaded all the PEAR packages that I needed from my desktop and then I uploaded them to the server using SFTP. I could also have used a USB key if I had physical access to the server but that as not my case.
The files that I downloaded were the .tgz files that I found here:
Using Drush without json_decode/json_encode enabled.
Did you know that drush requires json support to be enabled in php?
Well, I did not until today.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function json_encode() in /home/drush/includes/output.inc on line 380
Drush command terminated abnormally due to an unrecoverable error.
Error: Call to undefined function json_encode() in /home/drush/includes/output.inc, line 380
If you have root or if your in good terms with your sysadmin, the good solution would be to enable json to your php. Either recompile php or install json using pecl or using your distribution's package manager (yum, rpm, apt, whatever).
Well, I did not have root on that machine so here is what I did.
if ( !function_exists('json_decode') ){
function json_decode($content, $assoc=false){
require_once 'Services/JSON.php';
if ( $assoc ){
$json = new Services_JSON(SERVICES_JSON_LOOSE_TYPE);
} else {
$json = new Services_JSON;
return $json->decode($content);
if ( !function_exists('json_encode') ){
function json_encode($content){
require_once 'Services/JSON.php';
$json = new Services_JSON;
return $json->encode($content);
Then I created a /.drush/ folder in my home directory and I created a file called php.ini inside that folder.
mkdir ~/.drush
emacs ~/.drush/php.ini
You can use vi if your one of those :)
I put the following inside the file:
where /path/to/ is the real path of where I put the json.php file above.
That was all and now I could use drush!
Help! Something is broken...
When you have access to a unix server and someone asks for help and you do not know about all the possible log files that exists, here is a command that will show you ALL opened file for append or write.
ulimit -n 9999 # In case there is more than 1024 files!
tail -vF $(/usr/bin/lsof -n | egrep -i '[[:digit:]]+(u|w).*reg' | awk '{print $9}')

Montana Fly Fishing Schools with Dixon Adventures
Dixon Adventures Montana Fly Fishing Schools are a great way to begin learning fly fishing or for those of you who are very talented anglers, but want to elevate their game to advanced and even expert! Classes are given individually or to a group and includes many different lessons needed to be a fly fisherman. Dixon Adventures has instruction for all levels of fly fishing, and even has classes for learning boat skills and guiding! These classes are held by owner and operator of Fly Fishing Montana with Dixon Adventures, Jay Dixon. He has spent 20 years teaching fly fishing and has become an expert in instruction and also techniques on how to be a good instructor yourself! Classes are custom built to the specifications of each individual or group. Prices can vary depending on the type of class that is designed. You can design your own package from learning the basics of fly fishing to learning boat techniques and tactics that you can use on your own without a guide!
Basic Classes
The Basic package is a 3 hour course designed to help you get started in fly fishing. Fly fishing can be an intimidating sport. These classes are designed to help you get started. Course curriculum includes: fly casting, line management, knots, tackle and fly selection, entomology, dry fly and wet fly techniques, how to land trout, reading water, river safety and any other questions you might have to help you start.
Cost: $60
Intermediate Classes
The Intermediate package is a 3 hour course to help you on your way to expert levels. If you really want to improve your game, this course is designed to fix some of your bad casting habits and learn more advanced tactics and skills that can be used in challenging situations. Trout can be finicky and the larger they get, the smarter they get. So you need to understand more advanced casting techniques and tools needed to be successful in these challenging environments. Course curriculum includes: advanced casting (aerial mending and parachute casts), double hauling, advanced knots and techniques, trout vision, trout landing tactics, rod angle mechanics, off hand line management, double fly tricks, wade and boat fishing tactics, and more!
Cost: $60
Expert Classes
The expert class is designed for reaching some of the highest levels of the game. Some fly fisherman plateau in the sport and will never reach this level. If you are the type of angler that really wants the right instruction on reaching expert levels, this is your course. Fly fishing is a sport that one can never master, but this course is the best way to becoming very skilled. Teaching this course requires special skill and experience. Course Curriculum includes: mastering double hauling and aerial mending, fly fishing successfully in over 15 MPH winds, reach/parachute casting from land and a boat, rod angle tactics used to land large fish on light tackle, stealth approach and trout vision, fixing intricate parts of your cast to be able to master long line techniques, and more!
Cost: $70
Guide School
The Guide School is a personalized class for 1 or 2 people. The course offers first hand instruction by Jay and his top guides that have many years of experience. Guiding is not cut out for everyone, but this course will help you learn the trade from boat tactics to people management skills required to be a successful guide. Upon successfully completing the course, Jay will evaluate your skills and help you help get started guiding with references and recomendations. The school can be designed for a basic package of 1 day or a more complete package in multiple days. If you are interested in learning from the best, contact Jay!
Boat Rowing Class
We have had people ask if we can be hired to learn how to row and fish on our own. Well now you can! The Boat Rowing class is specifically designed to help you learn how navigate the river safely and with confidence. Rowing a river can be dangerous and scary to learn, so we put this class together to help you learn how to be safe and have fun on the water with your friends and family. Contact Jay for more information on this course, prices can vary depending on conditions and time of year.

Investing in Justice: Where Do We Go From Here?
Kristen Holway, Senior Manager, Learning Practice | Knowing that nearly half of all low-income Montanans experience at least one civil legal problem each year that goes unaddressed, the Montana Access to Justice Commission, with support from Philanthropy Northwest member Montana Justice Foundation, conducted a study to better understand the gaps and barriers to civil legal aid access. Their findings have implications for funders across all states and all sectors — and have us asking ourselves whether there is a need for broader conversation. more »

New Virtual Iron software helps data centers decrease power consumption
Virtual Iron's new version 4.4 includes a power management feature, LivePower, can move around virtual machines and power down underutilized servers to reduce data center power consumption.
Lowell, Mass.-based server virtualization software provider Virtual Iron Software Inc. has added power management capabilities into the latest version of its software, version 4.4.
Virtual Iron version 4.4 now includes a feature called LivePower that automatically monitors virtual machine (VM) resource utilization and adjusts physical resources accordingly.
When there is excess CPU capacity on a Virtual Iron server, LivePower consolidates VMs onto fewer physical servers and shuts down idle physical servers, based on pre-defined policies. When CPU loads increase beyond pre-defined thresholds, LivePower turns physical servers back on and uses its LiveMigrate feature to move VMs back and re-balance server resources.
"Standard virtualization allows for power reduction, and we knew we could reduce power even more," said Chris Barclay, the director of product management at Virtual Iron.
VMware Inc. offers a similar feature called Distributed Power Manager, part of its VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) tool, that also monitors resource utilization and allocates available resources to VMs based on pre-defined rules. It uses VMware VMotion to move live VMs around as needed.
IDC analyst John Humphreys said that products like LivePower are another example of ways in which virtualization can help IT organizations save money. "The concept of being able to extend the life of the data center by consolidating and driving out operation costs by actively managing power are extremely powerful as customers go green -- mainly to save green."
But while the idea is appealing, it's still early days for these kinds of tools. "I do see LivePower and products like it being heavily experimented with by customers today," he said. "I see it as experimental, which means most companies are testing it on dev/test equipment before they move it into production. And if they do move it into production, it will be with nonmission-critical assets."
Like other vendors, Virtual Iron's new power management feature does not work on VMs from other vendors; it only works with Virtual Iron VMs. And as with any vendor, the move has to be Intel-to-Intel or AMD-to-AMD.Rounding out the release
In addition to LivePower and LiveMigrate features, Virtual Iron's management software also includes LiveRecovery for disaster recovery and high availability, LiveCapacity for CPU resource load balancing, and LiveMaintenance for offline server maintenance without downtime.
Virtual Iron also announced support for Intel Dynamic Power Node Manager, which will monitor, report and control system power in Intel's next-generation platform, Nehalem, which is due out later this year.
Virtual Iron version 4.4 will be generally available later this month. Pricing for Virtual Iron is $799 per processor socket, and LivePower is included at no extra charge. New customers can get it as an integrated part of the product, and existing customers can get LivePower for free when they upgrade to Version 4.4.
In comparison, VMware DRS is included in VMware Infrastructure Enterprise edition and can be purchased as an add-on product to the Standard and Foundation editions.
Let us know what you think about the story; email Bridget Botelho, News Writer. And check out our Server Virtualization blog.

Drewscape illustrates for print ads, magazines and picture books. He also does storyboarding for advertising agencies.
I was formerly an art director at DDB Worldwide, and then started out as a professional illustrator in 2004. Since then, I've been illustrating for advertising agencies. On a regular basis, I also illustrate for the on-going children's series Sherlock Sam, as well as the monthly Young Parents Magazine. On the side, I enjoy writing and drawing comics. The short story "Moving Forward" in my first graphic novel Monsters, Miracles & Mayonnaise was nominated for an Eisner award in 2013. I'm based in Singapore but I'm also open to working with clients around the world.
The work will progress in stages so you'll be able to monitor how the artwork develops according to your specifications. After we've spoken, I will produce a rough pencil sketch to nail down the general picture. After that is OK-ed, the tighter sketch comes next. When all necessary changes are finalised, I will then work on the final artwork.

Mutation In Blood Clotting Gene May Extend Human Life Span (4)
The Seraseq Tumor Mutation DNA Mix v2 (AF10) HC is a multiplexed combination of actionable biosynthetic DNA targets precisely blended with a single, effectively-characterized genomic background. This price is roughly in the course of the range reported for various human genes: those with high mutation rates like NF1 (neurofibromatosis kind 1) and DMD (Duchenne muscular dystrophy) (ca. The Seraseq Tumor Mutation Mix-II DNA Mix v2 (AF10) HC is formulated for use with focused next-era sequencing (NGS) assays that detect mutations in key oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes.
In addition, the rare hereditary disease Bloom syndrome also someway is concerned with DNA ligase deficiency (although the Bloom syndrome protein is a DNA helicase); sufferers' cultured cells have excessive ranges of chromosome aberrations and spontaneous mutation. Also, I am careful to level out to any docs who order lab tests that the usual exams for B-12 and folate are useless for folks with the MTHFR gene mutations, like me. In fact, my B-12 stage was excessive in a take a look at executed last fall, on the similar time that my mutation was detected.
Once the gene mutation status of every embryo is decided, the parents and their IVF doctor then determine which embryos they want to transfer to the woman's uterus. I was testing for every part yesterday…will know in a few weeks…my protocol for future pregnancies whether or not check present something or not will be prednisone, child aspirin, blood thinner and progesterone injections. This hundred-fold range exhibits that mutation charges per gene may be intrinsically different.
As I even have solely had two miscarriages, and one was ectopic and is probably not thought-about a real" miscarriage to some practitioners, my RE (Reproductive Endocrinologist) refused to run any extra testing on me. As I was already paying out of pocket for the IVF cycles, paying the out of pocket value on some blood work wasn't a big deal to me. I talked to my OB in regards to the testing and he agreed to have the blood work run.
NER mutants in lower organisms are UV-delicate and have elevated levels of mutation and recombination induced by UV (because they are unable to use the accurate NER methodology to take away pyrimidine dimers and must use mutagenic or recombinogenic systems). She is homozygous for the C677T mutation and was on lovonox injections and metanx (among different issues for her different clotting circumstances).

Court: No-phones traffic law does not apply to apps
A California law that bans drivers from talking on mobile phones without a hands-free device does not bar them looking at map apps, a court has ruled.
The appeals court threw out a traffic ticket issued to a motorist who was looking at a map on his phone while caught in a traffic jam.
But the man who brought the case says he is not in favour of motorists staring at screens while driving.
Steven Spriggs said he hoped that legislators would revisit the issue.
In January 2012, Mr Spriggs was stuck in traffic when he checked a map application on his iPhone to find an alternate route.
A California Highway Patrol officer spotted him and gave him a $165 (£99) ticket.
Mr Spriggs challenged the case in traffic court and later in a county court, before appealing to the state.
In their 18-page decision, the 5th Appeals Court of California said Mr Spriggs argued that "he did not violate the statute because he was not talking on the telephone".
"We agree," the court wrote. "Based on the statute's language, its legislative history, and subsequent legislative enactments, we conclude that the statute means what it says - it prohibits a driver only from holding a wireless telephone while conversing on it."
A separate California law bans texting while driving.
Mr Spriggs said he used a hands-free headset to talk while driving and that his son had suffered a broken leg from being struck by a motorist chatting on a mobile phone.
But he said the patrol officer and the courts had overreached by applying the law to his case.
"We're distracted all the time," he told the Associated Press. "If our distractions cause us to drive erratically, we should be arrested for driving erratically."
The state can appeal against the ruling to California's Supreme Court.
Nicholas Pacilio, a spokesman for California Attorney General Kamala Harris, said the office was reviewing the ruling.

uitarist/Composer Patrick Greene's bebop phrasing and soulful articulations have been breathing life into the San Francisco music scene for the past twelve years and nationally for almost twenty. He and his groups are known for their ability to captivate, entertain and thrill an audience. Patrick's compositions reflect a deep understanding and respect for jazz, its history, and its innovators, while maintaining a fixed eye on the future.
Greene has worked with several of the Bay Area's Jazz legends, and works at many of the area's premiere venues (see below). His warm sound, open mind, sense of humor, and ability to play a variety of styles has kept him in constant demand.
Before moving to San Francisco in 1992, Greene worked in blues, jazz, funk, and reggae bands in St. Louis (his hometown), Milwaukee, Chicago, and Los Angeles. This included a stint with St. Louis' Reggae At Will band.Patrick received a BA in Jazz Performance from Sonoma State University and studied guitar with Sid Jacobs, Randy Vincent, Steve Erquiaga and Anthony Peterson. While earning his degree, he freelanced around the Bay Area soon landing a steady gig with the great saxophonist, Bishop Norman Williams. During that period, he also founded a modern jazz collective, New Soil, with now New York based trumpeter, Noah Bloom.

Connecticut-based Xerox separating into 2 companies; beats 4Q 2015 forecasts
NORWALK >> Xerox Corp. (XRX) is separating into two independent publicly traded companies. The planned breakup follows pressure from activist investor Carl Icahn.
Shares of the Norwalk, Connecticut-based company edged up in Friday premarket trading.
Xerox announced in October that it planned to conduct a review of its operations in the hopes of boosting shareholder value.
The separation calls for a document technology company and a business process outsourcing company. The document technology company will handle document management and document outsourcing, while the business process outsourcing business will help companies with automating and simplifying business processes.
The names of the two companies and their leadership teams have yet to be determined.
Xerox and Icahn reached a deal on the governance of the business process outsourcing company. Under the breakup, Icahn will get to name three of the nine directors on that company's board. A search is also going to be started for an external candidate to serve as CEO of the business. Icahn will be allowed to choose an individual to observe and advise the committee that is performing the search.
Icahn said in a written statement that he believes the independent business process outsourcing company will enhance shareholder value.
Xerox Corp. also announced a three-year plan to save $2.4 billion across all segments. It anticipates $700 million in annual savings in 2016.
Xerox said its goal is to complete the separation by the end of the year.
On Friday, the company reported fourth-quarter net income of $285 million.
The company said it had net income of 27 cents per share. Earnings, adjusted for amortization costs, came to 32 cents per share.
The results exceeded Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of four analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for earnings of 29 cents per share.
The business services provider and copier company posted revenue of $4.65 billion in the period.
For the year, the company reported profit of $488 million, or 43 cents per share. Revenue was reported as $18.05 billion.
For the current quarter ending in April, Xerox expects its per-share earnings to range from 21 cents to 24 cents.
The company expects full-year earnings in the range of $1.10 to $1.20 per share.
Xerox shares have fallen 13 percent since the beginning of the year, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index has dropped slightly more than 7 percent. The stock has fallen 30 percent in the last 12 months.

BOHS, the Chartered Society for Worker Health Protection, has welcomed the latest health and safety at work statistics1 recently published by the HSE.
The new statistics provide an extremely useful and comprehensive illustration of work-related health and safety in the UK. Simon Festing, CEO of BOHS stated: "While some of the trends are encouraging, many of the figures remain concerningly high, clearly indicating that in terms of ensuring best practice in worker health protection, many challenges remain. It's vital that both employers and employees embrace effective occupational hygiene practice, in order to reduce the burden and human cost of work-related ill health."
Headline statistics and trends
Key statistics from the HSE's report include:
- 3 million working people are suffering from a work-related illness (new or long-standing)
- 7 million working days were lost due to work-related ill health (2016/17)
- 13,000 deaths each year are estimated to be linked to past exposures at work, primarily chemicals or dust: occupational lung diseases account for around 12,000 of these deaths
- 2,542 mesothelioma deaths are due to past exposure to asbestos2. The projection is that there will be around 2,500 mesothelioma deaths per year to the end of the decade, before a decline in numbers is seen
- £14.9 billion is the estimated cost of injuries and ill health, due to current working conditions3 (this figure excludes long latency illness such as cancer)
Although the above figures may seem alarmingly high, a few of the overall trends depict a slightly more encouraging picture:
- Since 2001, the overall rate of work-related ill health demonstrated a slight downward trend, with a broadly flat scale since 2014
- The number of working days lost per worker, due to work related ill health, demonstrated a downward trend until approximately 2010/11, with a broadly flat rate thereafter
- The UK has lower rates of work-related ill heath than most other EU countries
However, despite some of the key figures remaining flat – as opposed to showing an actual increase – there is clearly still cause for concern that the overall human costs of work-related ill health remain too high, further underlining an evident need for the work BOHS undertakes to raise awareness of the benefits of occupational hygiene.
Working together to raise awareness
Critical to the success of reducing workplace ill health, is that everyone embraces their responsibilities – employers have a duty to ensure that everyone can 'Go Home Healthy' from work, and employees need to play their part too: this is one of the HSE's key campaigns currently, encouraging everyone to 'do the right thing' and protect workers' health.
Additionally, highlighting and tackling the costs of work-related ill health is one of the six themes of the HSE's five-year strategy Helping Great Britain work well, launched in 2016.
One of the key points stated in the executive summary of the HSE's strategy document, is that "Everyone in the health and safety system should play their part": a simple enough declaration that may sound obvious – but clearly one that requires constant reiteration, so that employers and employees are reminded about occupational hygiene and the need to place, and keep, 'health' firmly at the top of everyone's agenda.
The first two of the HSE's six strategic themes distinctly underline what is needed to raise awareness and encourage ownership of worker health protection:
- Acting together: promoting broader ownership of health and safety in Great Britain
- Tackling ill health: highlighting and tackling the costs of work-related ill health
Of course, these themes also reflect BOHS' ethos: BOHS' vision is 'A healthy working environment for everyone', and the Society works hard to raise awareness of worker health protection – via a range of activities and campaigns. One of its strategic themes and objectives (within its 2016 – 2020 strategy) is to 'Raise awareness of occupational hygiene': BOHS has made huge strides in this area, through its Breathe Freely in Construction campaign. Via free materials and educational resources on the Breathe Freely website, and three years of activities including many roadshow events, significant progress has been made to raise awareness of worker health protection. BOHS' campaign has attracted unprecedented levels of support in its first two and a half years, from employers, trade unions and other influential people and organisations. BOHS has now signed up over 100 supporters from across the construction industry, and over 60 Breathe Freely talks have been delivered at roadshows, events and meetings across the UK, all designed to offer practical advice on managing health. The second phase of the campaign, Breathe Freely in Manufacturing launched earlier this year, and aims to replicate in a new sector, the success achieved by BOHS in the construction industry.
Simon commented further on the illustration presented by these latest statistics: "The cost of work-related ill health remains frustratingly high – especially frustrating given that it's comparatively easy in many situations to make simple changes, in order to protect workers' health." He concluded: "We can all influence significant change in attitudes to worker health protection by focusing on working together, taking responsibility and promoting the excellent messages of the HSE, along with our own – to achieve a healthy working environment for everyone."

Getting Along with Others
By: Lone Heron
Author of Inherited Rage-available at amazon.com
Getting along with others seems to be a real challenge for many, including myself.. I like the ideal of getting along with others but it doesn't always seem to work out to well. I say that because if you aren't agreeing with them,you probably aren't going to get along with them. You can try, but likely you will keep getting hung up on that same old disagreeable snag. Or at least that seems to have been my personal experience. I can agree to disagree, but I seem to have difficulty sitting silently by and keeping my mouth shut! It's really quite ironic when you consider I spent the first twenty years of my life keeping my mouth shut -fear is a powerful motivator – i guess II have made up for it the last twenty years of my life and now I find myself reverting back to being a quieter, less volunteering person- what's the point when no one hears or remembers?
What's the point of asking when the people you have asked have proven time and again they don't really care about what's up with you because their drama is soooooo much more important…
We all have people like this in our lives and even when we take time out to focus and try to help them, they don't really appreciate it. They take everything you have to give and then want more but they don't want to reciprocate anything to feed the flow of energy. Oh no- to get these people to do anything to help you is about as difficult as freezing water in hell.
You can ask nicely, bargain, offer a fair trade, beg, cajole, pester, annoy and they just smile agree and then ignore- or pretend the conversation never occurred. But these same people won't blink an eye in hesitation the next time they see you before they launch into what they need from you. These people are I have decided evil and insincere friends. Sincere friends want to help. They offer their help and actually follow through instead of just talking about it.
I think the time has come to weed my garden of insincere friends- those who will take my help all day long- those who feel no qualms to ask of me whatever they like with no thought of reciprocation- it reminds me of what the nazis did to the Jewish, and of what a parricide parent does to create a parricide child.
The give and take energy is out of balance- take take take- more more more- it's all over the place in our society and until we learn how to draw hard boundaries it will continue to be picked up by group after group to try and succeed where prior groups have failed- the trail will be followed by many until enough realize and consciously divert the heard by drawing boundaries and choosing how they engage,instead of wasting energy helping others who do not reciprocate and who do not reinvest the energy wisely given them by those who helped them. " Waste not, want not " – ageless wisdom. Yet so many of us seem to forget this, we waste and squander and then look for someone else to refill the proverbial gas tank. The proverbial gas tank is filled when others pay attention to us. The quality of attention could be comparable to the quality of fuel in your vehicle.
If the gas has been contaminated your car won't run as smoothly. If the person listening to you can't tell you what you said 5 min after your conversation was over because they interrupted to tell you something about a totally different subject – well all the energy you spent on that particular conversation was wasted. And without reciprocal energy investment you end up feeling drained and empty. It's just part of the cycle of life- checks and balances that need to occur in order to maintain harmony- makes since when you apply it to your checking account – but many never apply that thought to their time. If more considered it I bet I could get along with those people a whole lot better.

On January 25, 2018, the Village of Villa Park received the American Public Works Association (APWA) Suburban Branch Public Works Project of the Year for its work in the disaster or emergency construction/repair category of less than $5 million.
The award was bestowed for the Village's response to an emergency bridge repair on St. Charles Road over Salt Creek, following notice in August 2017 that the bridge rating had been lowered by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). With a 15-ton weight restriction taking immediate effect, the Village sprang into action to address this public safety concern and a potential traffic bottleneck.
"Our Public Works Department should be congratulated for bringing all parties together on short notice in tackling this emergency situation," says Villa Park Village President Al Bulthuis. "I'm also quite proud of our staff accomplishing a key public safety goal at minimal cost to taxpayers – less than $70,000 was expended overall."
According to the APWA, the Public Works Project of the Year Award is designed to promote excellence in the management and administration of public works projects. "Our annual award program celebrates the best of what we do in Public Works," says Jeff Maczko, Awards Co-Chair for the APWA Suburban Branch. "This year's awards committee felt that the culmination of intergovernmental partnering, a unique use of the design-build contract, and the expedited timeframe in which the work was completed made the St. Charles Road Bridge Emergency Repair Project a true deserving recipient of the award."
The Village Board approved proceeding with a temporary repair of the St. Charles Road Bridge in September 2017. The Public Works Department then partnered with the engineering consulting firm V3 Companies to assemble a team in maintaining the 15-ton weight limit until the bridge is reconstructed. Emergency work included lane reconfigurations, support beam installations, re-routing of PACE buses, changeable message boards, and more.
Posing with the Village of Villa Park's "Project of the Year" award during the January 25, 2018 ceremony are (from left to right) Mike Famiglietti and Mike Rechtorik (both from V3 Companies), Assistant Village Engineer Jeremie Lukowicz, Village Public Works Director Vydas Juskelis, Village Deputy Director of Public Works Rich Salerno, Village Manager Rich Keehner, and Lou Gallucci (also from V3 Companies).

Retail Futures: Browns Fashion heads to Berlin
Nov 13, 2019 | By Alice Gividen
May 10, 2017
By WGSN Insider
Troubled US retail giant Abercrombie & Fitch Co is working with an investment bank to gather takeover interest from other retailers, people familiar with the situation told Reuters on Tuesday.
Abercrombie has hired investment bank Perella Weinberg Partners to handle the takeover approaches, two sources said, asking not to be identified. There is no certainty that any deal will occur, the sources added.
Abercrombie and Perella Weinberg declined to comment.
Abercrombie's shares are trading at a 17-year low, closing flat at $12.67 Wednesday, making it a vulnerable acquisition target. The retailer is continuing on a course to turn the business around, appealing to a slightly older demographic that was formerly draw to the logo-ed casualwear of its heyday.
Operating income has fallen from $72.8m in 2015 to $15.2m last year, as faster-fashion competitors and growth in the pureplay online sector weighed on its profitability.
Abercrombie, with a market capitalisation of $862m, operates around 700 US stores and 190 international units. The retailer has been seeking to cut costs and downsize its retail footprint, announcing earlier this year that it would let the leases of around 60 US stores expire.
Abercrombie has also been pinning much of its turnaround hopes on its surfwear-inspired brand Hollister. While the company's overall sales are down, the Hollister brand has recorded two years of flat same-store sales performance.

FIFA Official Admits to Bribe-Taking
The dominos are starting to fall. American FIFA official Chuck Blazer has admitted to taking bribes related to the hosting locations of the 2010 and 1998 World Cups, and says others on the decision-making committee took bribes as well. Blazer cooperated in the face of a potential 20-year prison sentence, following the news that FIFA president Sepp Blatter, 79, who stepped down yesterday, will reportedly be investigated by the U.S. Officials are working with other cooperating witnesses and expect more collaboration as FIFA's infrastructure of corruption is revealed piece by piece.

Nissan has revealed its supercharged Micra Dig-S ahead of its official launch at the Geneva motor show next week.
The Dig-S – or Direct Injection Gasoline-Supercharger – features a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder supercharged engine with stop-start system and produces 98bhp and 105lb ft of torque – "the same power expected from a conventional 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine," according to Nissan.
When mated to the manual 'box, the Dig-S will reach a top speed of 112mph and achieve 68.9mpg with emissions of just 95g/km. The CVT variant will be less frugal, emitting 115g/km of CO2.
Sales for the Micra Dig-S start in the summer this year.
