Police arrest man posing as mechanic, scamming drivers
Auto shop offers to compensate victims
Police have arrested a man accused of impersonating a mechanic and taking women's money.
Aaron Garner, 26, turned himself into Fort Smith police Thursday afternoon. He is charged with six counts of theft by deception.
Police say Garner would approach women and tell them something was wrong with their cars.
Sometimes he would get the money upfront from the victim for the car part and not come back," said Patricia Sullivan of the Fort Smith Police Department. "Or he would come back and say, 'I fixed it. Now you owe me this much'".
But, for the family business police say Garner pretended to work for, its good name and reputation is all they have.
"It's important to us," said Joseph Rupe, vice president of Jody's Muffler and Auto. "Our name is everything."
Jody's Muffler and Auto has been in business for nearly four decades.
"I feel like those people have been taken advantage of and if there's something I can do to make it right, then I'm going to do it," said Rupe.
Rupe said Jody's Muffler and Auto will compensate and credit anyone who was scammed by Garner.
"I am more than happy to take off the loss that any of those six people have had in dealing with this gentleman," said Rupe.
Police say six women accused Garner of scamming them. Fort Smith police encourage any other victims to contact their office.

Splitted Cache
SplittedCache in XCache is designed for SMP servers.
By setting xcache.count or xcache.var_count to 2 or more to take the advantage. The recommended value to use is count of your cpu + 1, but u can always try to tune it yourself like other settings.
How it works
On SMP servers, CPUs can access memory parallelly, while the XCache shared memory have to be accessed. By enabling SplittedCache, XCache will split the cache by xcache.count (or xcache.var_count), so both of them can be accessed at the same time.
How is it compares to non-blocking-reader
SplittedCache and nonblocking reader give similar improvement on SMP, but:
- nonblocking read way helps nothing for write
- with SplittedCache it is possible that 2 cpu need the same cache while the other cache is not needed
(There isn't any tests to proven these words, correct me if i'm wrong)

DOBR.COM needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 41 designs submitted by 14 freelance designers.
DOBR.COM ... your success is just a click away.
We will be BRANDING our Website with this animation. It must be professional, appeal to an older generation, not childlike cartoonish.
We like the chimp on mailchimp.com, however, not the drawn chimp, rather the chimp that is an actual chimp face with moving mouth and arms hands. We picture a chimp or orangutang, etc in a doctors white coat with a stethoscope around his or her neck. We may go with a female english accent
His or Her persona is smart, highly educated, with a great sense of humor
We are a new online interactive physician education site. We are looking for a graphics animator, who we can provide scripts and animation ideas to, and then work together to create 5 -10, 1 to 2 min animation sequences.
Our audience in physicians so the animation must be appealing to a older generation. It must appeal to the five senses, we need color, upbeat music.
We can provide all time points and animation ideas but need someone to draw, animate and put music to the animation. The final voice overs will be done in our studios.
To start we will need to see some same renderings of your proposed cartoon physician. We originally liked the idea of a professional, non-goofy character who is rendered in black and white, wearing glasses, while coat, Dr. DOBR on his lapel. If we keep Dr. Dobr black and white, we can create a background washed in color to add the the effect.
Send your original rendering of Dr. Dobr. Once the character is perfected we will require a 10 second quicktime animation sample. Ideally we want to send a completed audio script of which at this time there are 10 ranging from 20 seconds to 2 minutes. The winner will then add the chimp and background screen shots and soft jazzy audio to make a very appealing graphical presentation out of each audio track. We want humor, just as the sample videos on mailchimp.com.
We will select a company or individual through this contest to work with on a long term basis.

Person of Interest is one of the biggest hits to premiere last year. The show centers the partnership between John Reese (Jim Caviezel), an ex-CIA operative, and the mysterious, millionaire computer engineer Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) who develops a machine that can predict crimes. After a cliffhanger season finale, the second season will premiere September 27th on CBS. We sat down with series creator/producer/writer Jonathan Nolan, series writer Greg Plageman and cast members Caviezel, Emerson, Taraji P. Henson, and Kevin Chapman to discuss where the new season picks up, the challenges of working on TV, and living in a society where all your information is public. Hit the jump for highlights from the interviews and our full interview with Jonathan Nolan.
While everyone was pretty tight lipped about what's to come next season, we did learn that the second season will pick up right where the first left off. Nolan said:
"One of the things with our show is posing a lot of questions, but getting a lot of answers too."
Plageman agreed:
"We hate it when we watch a show that has a serialized content, there's a cliffhanger where somebody is placed in jeopardy, and then you come back the next episode and it's like nothing happened. We don't want to do that."
It doesn't seem like Reese will be swooping in to save Finch from his kidnapper anytime soon. Emerson revealed that:
"We're out of our rhythm and out of our comfort zone, because Finch is now being held hostage by a crazy woman, and that's something were going to have to live through for a while".
Plageman confirmed:
"It's going to be very, very difficult for Reese to get Harold Finch back."
Both Henson and Chapman agreed that Finch's kidnapping was the most surprising moment of last season. Emerson also indicated that the second season would focus more on the origins of the machine, saying that they will be:
"Dipping into the back stories of everyone and more focus on the gradual way the machine was made; the detailing of it, nuances that went into it, the wide ranging capabilities of the machine of which have only seen the tip of the iceberg."
Despite the fact that officers Carter and Fusco learned they were both working for Reese at the end of last season, don't expect much of a break in the tension between them. When asked if it would be easier for them to get along knowing that they were on the same team, Henson replied:
"I think in the beginning, but I see where they're going right now just off the first episode back, they're building still some more tension, just from a different angle."
Chapman revealed:
"At some point Fusco is going to have to answer for his past." And said the important question is, "Is he a good guy doing bad things, or a bad guy doing good things?"
On their favorite scenes to shoot, Caviezel joked:
"I don't remember any of them", but did say he loves the physicality of the action sequences, "I did five years of martial arts; I played seventeen years of basketball."
Emerson said:
"I liked the scenes with the baby, but the baby steals all the scenes that you're in. So that would get old after a while, because the baby is too perfect. I liked being high on ecstasy."
Henson discussed the challenge of transitioning from film to TV, saying:
"It was a little scary at first, because I come from the world of feature films. I'm used to getting scripts where I know where my characters going; you know the beginning the middle and the end. With this show, you never know where your characters going to end up, you don't know what the backstory's going to be. There's still so much I don't know about Carter…I may get episode 205 and I may have been born a man."
Chapman agreed that it can be difficult, but "It's fun to take the journey with your character."
Check out the full interview with Jonathan Nolan below.
You guys have a very interesting show that touches on the balance between private and very public information, where do you see your show pushing the envelope for a paranoid society, because we live in a society where everybody's information all the time is on Facebook or twitter. Do you think people are going to start second guessing their own public announcements?
JONATHAN NOLAN: Well I sure hope so. As with a lot of technological advances, a lot of these things have come online quicker than culture and legislators can respond to them. I'll give you an example. It's in the public interest for people to be able to know who owns a particular piece of property; right? So publicizing ownership, it's great. But in California for instance, if you buy a house, pretty much anyone can find out where you live online. Those two things kind of work at odds with each other. If you extend that to things like twitter and Facebook, the young generation of people growing up – I think one of the more interesting things I heard last year was someone saying it's not that younger kids these days don't value privacy, or don't understand why it would be a good thing, they just don't have a choice if they want to socialize. The way that high school works these days, if you're not Facebook, you don't exist, if you're not on twitter, you don't exist. So they don't have a choice but to give up some of these things.
I think it's important for people to know behind all of this is private corporations. Our show is a little more about government surveillance. But the reality is, by far the most widespread surveillance being kept right now is by private companies. Google knows far more about you than the FBI. Facebook knows far, far more about you than any domestic spying program. We do kind of feel like there's a relevance to some of the issues in the show which aren't front and center all the time. Our joke is our show is the first one that starts as science fiction but ends as a documentary.
Can you talk a little bit about how the next seasons going to start and where it's going to pick up?
NOLAN: I can't because Jim hasn't told us yet, we keep asking. No, it's going to pick up right where we left off. We had a bit of a cliff hanger for our first season. One of the things with our show is posing a lot of questions, but getting a lot of answers too. So one of the shifts in our show, I think we are always endeavoring to tell the story of the week. We are also trying to evolve the relationships between our characters and also the relationship between our characters and sort of the fifth character of the show, which is the machine.
So how paranoid are you, actually?
NOLAN: [laughs]
Do you think this is entirely fiction? Do you think there might be a secret company out there keeping an eye on people?
NOLAN: I think there's a not so secret company. At the risk of sounding like I'm wearing a tin foil hat. I think Facebook and Google are very clearly – it's in the user license agreement that you sign every time you log in to your Gmail account, to your Facebook account, they are trying to know everything about you; your secrets, your not so secrets, the whole thing. They want to read your mind because they want to sell you shit. And that's fine, that's what companies have done for years, marketing companies have done that for years, but never on this scale and never this widespread. And I don't know who those folks are responsible to. Google's mantra is "Don't be evil." But, the fact that they even have to have that mantra suggest that there is a power there that people do not yet recognize. In short, yes, paranoid, very paranoid. One of the reasons Greg Plageman get along so well and have such a great partnership on the show is when I first sat down with Greg, I Googled him afterwards and I couldn't find any pictures of him, he told me it was because he doesn't like having his picture taken. We've kind of ruined that, but we are both of the same mind about it.
Person of Interest is a high concept show, why do you think it has succeeded where Awake and other high concept shows have failed?
NOLAN: Awake is a really, really nicely made show. I don't think anyone really understands why a show works or why it doesn't. A lot of it has to do with timing, a lot of it has to do with the network you're on, the marketing team; there are so many intangibles that I think that kind of only an idiot would speculate on why one show worked and the other one didn't with any expectation of getting any concrete answer out of it. I don't know why any other shows didn't work, because there are a lot of really great ones that didn't. I think our show connected for a couple different reasons. I think other people feel the same way about some of these technologies that have come along. Just kind of an unspoken paranoia and interest in where this is all going, which is kind of what this show is about. And we have the best cast on TV.
Be sure to keep up with all of our continuing Comic-Con coverage here.

Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
- Cavities (Caries)
Strontium is a trace element widely found in nature. It became famous in the 1960s when a radioactive form of strontium produced by atomic bomb testing, strontium-90, became prevalent in the environment. Nonradioactive strontium has recently undergone study as a treatment for osteoporosis, with some promising results.
Therapeutic Uses
Strontium has fundamental chemical similarities to calcium. When dietary intake of strontium is raised, strontium begins to take the place of calcium in developing bone. This replacement appears to be beneficial (at least with low doses of strontium—see Safety Issues ), leading to an increase in bone formation, a decrease in bone breakdown, and an overall rise in bone density. 1-5
The net result is a reduced incidence of fractures due to osteoporosis, according to two very large studies. 1,6
In addition, highly preliminary evidence hints that strontium might also help prevent cavities by strengthening dental enamel. 7
What is the Scientific Evidence for Strontium?
The major human studies of strontium for osteoporosis involved a special form of the mineral called strontium ranelate.
In a 3-year, double-blind , placebo-controlled study of 5,091 women with osteoporosis, use of strontium at a dose of 2 grams daily significantly improved bone density and reduced incidence of all fractures as compared to placebo. 1 Additionally, in a 3-year, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 1,649 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and a history of at least one vertebral fracture, use of strontium ranelate at a dose of 2 grams daily reduced the incidence of new vertebral fractures by 49% in the first year and 41% in the full 3-year period (as compared to placebo). 6 Use of strontium also significantly increased measured bone density. No significant side effects were seen.
Benefits were also seen in an earlier, smaller study. 5
A fourth study tested strontium ranelate for preventing osteoporosis in postmenopausal who have not yet developed it. 4 In this 2-year, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 160 women received either placebo or strontium ranelate at a dose of 125 mg, 500 mg, or 1 gram daily. The results showed greater gains in bone density the more strontium taken.
While some treatments for osteoporosis act to increase bone formation, and other decrease bone breakdown, some evidence suggests that strontium ranelate has a dual effect, providing both these benefits at once. 14
Other forms of strontium besides strontium ranelate, such as strontium chloride, have shown potential benefits in animal studies, but have not undergone significant testing in people. 3,8-13
Therapeutic Dosages
Based on current evidence strontium ranelate can be taken at a dose of 500 mg to 1 gram daily to prevent osteoporosis and at a higher dose of 2 grams daily to treat existing osteoporosis.
Note: It is not yet clear whether combining strontium with standard treatments for osteoporosis will enhance or diminish the ultimate benefits.
Safety Issues
When taken in recommended doses, strontium supplements appear to be safe and usually free of side effects other than occasional mild gastrointestinal upset, including diarrhea. There is some weak evidence that long term use of strontium ranelate could, rarely, cause memory loss or seizures. 15 Similarly weak evidence hints that strontium could raise risk of blood clots; 15 however, one small study was somewhat reassuring on this score. 16
Excessive intake of strontium can actually weaken bone by replacing too much of the bone's calcium with strontium. 11
Maximum safe doses of strontium in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or people with severe liver or kidney disease have not been established.
Interactions You Should Know About
If you are taking standard treatment for osteoporosis, it is not clear whether the addition of strontium will enhance or diminish the benefits.

RIU Hotels & Resorts offers its clients the easiest way to reserve, that's why you will find the same rates and availability using one method or the other. If you already have a reservation made and you find a lower price, you can modify your reservation by contacting us. We will be able to change it if the hotel has availability for the same room and dates you booked. If you need any further information, please contact our Call Center.
Rates can't be modified when the reservations has been made through travel agencies, because they have their own contracts. RIU Hotels & Resorts guarantee you the best online rates.
Rates are per person or per room?
Rates and offers published in www.riu.com are based for reservations in double rooms for 2 adults. The prices are always based per person/night but in some hotels the prices are per room/night. When you book for only one person the system applies the basic price and in some cases it can be higher than the double room rate. If you need any further information, please contact our Call Center.
How can I pay my reservation?
RIU offers easy payment methods, in the last step you'll find the method of payments available for each destination:
Pay at the front desk: Most of our hotels allow you to pay your reservation in cash or with a credit card on the arrival day. We will request a credit card number to guarantee your booking.
- Online payment: We also accept different type of credit and debit cards. The payment will be made in the date specified on the last step of your reservation. You will also find the terms and conditions on the confirmation document that you will receive by email or you can contact our Call Center.
*Important: If you have chosen to pay via web by card, payment will be made in the currency indicated on the website. If you have chosen to pay directly at reception on arrival, the charge will be held in the local currency of the destination with the change rate of the day. To avoid currency fluctuations, we recommend that you pre-pay your reservation through www.riu.com.
It is also possible to pay with a card of another person, but it is very important that the owner knows that in case of a no-show or if you do not cancel / modify within the deadlines, the charges will be made on the card provided. To authorize this payment you must complete the form on the last step, cardholder must sign and you will have to take the document to the hotel the day of arrival.
Can I add another person into my reservation?
If you already have a room and you want to add another person, you must contact our Call Center in order to modify your reservation and to re-calculate the total amount. The Call Center will be able to modify it if you reserved through our website or directly by phone.
If your reservation was made through a travel agency you must contact the agency and request them the changes you need.
Once done, you can ask the hotel to assign the rooms close to each one depending on availability.
If the extra person arrives at reception without a reservation, he will have to request a room in the hotel with the price of the day. For more information please contact the Call Center.

Pearl Jam will be playing at Wrigley Field Friday, July 19, the band confirmed this morning.
The band tweeted out, "IT'S OFFICIAL: Pearl Jam will be playing at Wrigley Field. Will you be there?" The show will be called "An Evening With Pearl Jam," with no opening act.
Tickets will go on sale Feb. 9 at 10 a.m. central, according to concert promoter Live Nation. Tickets will be available at www.tickets.com or by calling 1-800-THE-CUBS. Tickets will not be available at the Wrigley Field Box Office.
Pearl Jam and the Cubs haven't been very subtle about the possibility of the iconic band playing a concert at Wrigley Field in 2013.
Tuesday afternoon, both the Cubs and Pearl Jam Tweeted pictures of the field at Wrigley, with a full concert setup. The band's Tweet, featuring the "stay tuned" hashtag, also included a "looking good" reference to the Wrigley image.
The Cubs also played a role in the suspense, sending out a Tweet that included "Ten," and a repeat of the "stay tuned" hashtag. There was also a link to a photo of a Ron Santo Cubs jersey (No. 10), the parallel being that "Ten" is also the title of Pearl Jam's first album.
The band also announced a July 16 date in London, Ontario.

Collaboration Tutorial
From OLPC
This tutorial focuses on activity sharing. Read Activity sharing for an overview of the concepts. See also Presence Service and Tubes.
See Collaboration Central for all things relating to activity collaboration.
Collaboration is implemented with Telepathy, a D-Bus framework for Instant Messaging protocols. The Presence Service provides functionality to Sugar to track shared Activities and Buddies (and show them on the Neighborhood View), and talks to Telepathy connection managers for XMPP via a Jabber server (telepathy-gabble), and Link Local XMPP (telepathy-salut).
XMPP is used to provide presence information about Buddies (other XOs you can collaborate with). The mesh view is like an instant messenger buddy list, represented in a more graphical way.
Not all the Buddies you see are on the same network as you. In particular, any of them could be behind a NAT firewall, and so you cannot simply open a TCP/IP socket to them to exchange data. Furthermore, while it is not yet implemented, Bitfrost's P_NET protection will restrict activities' use of networking, but not apply to collaboration via Telepathy.[1]
XMPP via the Jabber server on the school server allows you to exchange data with all the Buddies you can see, whether or not they are directly reachable from your XO.
Shared Activities
A shared activity is implemented using an XMPP MUC (multi user chat room). Buddies that are in the room, are in the shared activity.
Presence Service provides each shared activity with a Telepathy Text Channel by default. This text channel is a connection to the XMPP chat room, but is not useful for data sharing directly. You can see an example of this Text Channel in direct use in the Chat activity. In future, Sugar will provide "overlay chat" to activities, allowing you to do text chat with the participants of a shared activity.
On top of this Text Channel, PS provides a Tubes channel to exchange data with the other participants via Tubes.
There are two types of Activity sharing#Tubes at present: D-Bus Tubes and Stream Tubes.
D-Bus Tubes provide D-Bus functionality to signal and call methods on everyone in the room.
Stream Tubes wrap TCP/IP sockets and are more suited to streaming data between two participants.
D-Bus Tubes
See the D-Bus tutorial and the dbus-python tutorial.
D-Bus provides signals and methods:
- Signals are multicast - they are sent to all participants in the shared activity (including the sender). They send data and have no return value.
- Method calls are called on a single participant, and they do have a return value.
It is important to design your Activity's D-Bus Tubes API well, to support the functionality that your collaboration will need.
More to come here...
Bus names, handles, Buddy objects
Signals and Methods use bus names to identify senders and recipients. Telepathy uses handles to identify participants. Sugar uses Buddy objects.
The TubeConnection object can convert between bus names and handles - see tubeconn.py for details.
More to come here...
Stream Tubes
See the Read activity's code for an example. It's in git://dev.laptop.org/projects/read-activity and is built by default in sugar-jhbuild.
More to come here...
Example Activity: HelloMesh
HelloMesh is a demo activity with sample code using a D-Bus Tube. The code is in git://dev.laptop.org/projects/hellomesh and can be built in sugar-jhbuild with ./sugar-jhbuild buildone hellomesh
First, let's look at HelloMesh's D-Bus Tubes API. There are two signals and one method:
@signal(dbus_interface=IFACE, signature=) def Hello(self): """Say Hello to whoever else is in the tube.""" self._logger.debug('I said Hello.')
@method(dbus_interface=IFACE, in_signature='s', out_signature=) def World(self, text): """To be called on the incoming XO after they Hello.""" if not self.text: self._logger.debug('Somebody called World and sent me %s', text) self._alert('World', 'Received %s' % text) self.text = text self.text_received_cb(text) # now I can World others self.add_hello_handler() else: self._logger.debug("I've already been welcomed, doing nothing")
@signal(dbus_interface=IFACE, signature='s') def SendText(self, text): """Send some text to all participants.""" self.text = text self._logger.debug('Sent text: %s', text) self._alert('SendText', 'Sent %s' % text)
When a new participant joins the shared activity, it sends the Hello signal. This goes to all existing participants. The Hello signal has an empty signature, since no actual parameters are being sent.When an (existing) participant receives the Hello signal, it calls the World method of the signal's sender. The World method takes a string parameter (text) represented by
in_signature='s'It doesn't return anything, hence
Calling World when Hello is received is done in hello_cb:
def hello_cb(self, sender=None): """Somebody Helloed me. World them.""" if sender == self.tube.get_unique_name(): # sender is my bus name, so ignore my own signal return self._logger.debug('Newcomer %s has joined', sender) self._logger.debug('Welcoming newcomer and sending them the game state') self.tube.get_object(sender, PATH).World(self.text, dbus_interface=IFACE)
Note that signals go to all participants, including yourself - the above code shows how to ignore your own signals.
sender is a bus (as in D-Bus) name, like :2.OWI0MTk2MzNAdmFpbwAA. Signals and Methods use these to identify senders and recipients.
In order to receive the Hello signal, we need to add a signal receiver:
def add_hello_handler(self): self._logger.debug('Adding hello handler.') self.tube.add_signal_receiver(self.hello_cb, 'Hello', IFACE, path=PATH, sender_keyword='sender') self.tube.add_signal_receiver(self.sendtext_cb, 'SendText', IFACE, path=PATH, sender_keyword='sender')
You can see this called in the World method above, because in this example once we have had our World method called by an existing participant, we can then respond to somebody else's Hello signal.
This also adds a signal receiver for the SendText signal, defined above, which sends the text from the user interface.

The native of Aachen, son of a German jurist and an American prima ballerina, can allow himself to sound out the limits.
He gets his first violin at age four and makes his first appearance with the Hamburg Philharmonics at the early age of ten. At age thirteen he is the youngest artist to be awarded an exclusive contract with the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft. In 1999, at the height of his career, the shooting star redirects his energy, deciding to leave his predetermined path as a classical violinist and move to New York – not to take a time-out but rather to place his musical proficiency on a theoretical foundation and perfect his technique. He enrolls at the prestigious Julliard School, studying musicology and composition.
Instruction with Itzhak Perlman lends his performance completely new facets. David Garrett's particular enthusiasm for studying composition earns him a distinction in 2003 when he wins the renowned Composition Competition of Julliard School with a fugue composed in the style of Johann Sebastian Bach. In doing so, he lays the foundation for what have become legendary arrangements. His highly esteemed American composition teacher Eric Ewazen has said of him "As a violinist, his spectacular, heartfelt and expressive playing already dazzled – even when he was a student – those of us who had the great pleasure of teaching him, and we recognized his extraordinary gifts and his amazing talent."
Since completing his studies, the visionary violinist has committed himself to a clearly defined goal – introducing young people to the classics and kindling enthusiasm for reputedly serious music.
Whereas many conservative contemporaries wonder whether uncompromising excellence and popularity, art and commerce can or may even be reconciled, David Garrett long ago proved that it is possible, enthralling listeners of all ages. The same new, incredibly electrifying spirit pervades lofty Philharmonic halls holding sold-out classical concerts and open-air arenas staging crossover programs. The people sense that they are being taken seriously, that a person is performing who approaches the task with utmost discipline while creating an awareness for various musical genres and styles. Garrett's desire to diminish the awe of classical music felt by young audiences, in particular, to spark a whirlwind in the music scene while striving to sweep as many people off their feet as he possibly can is fulfilled to an overwhelming degree.
David Garrett is not only a technically brilliant recording artist who has received the praise and support of such eminent violin virtuosos as Isaac Stern, Yehudi Menuhin and, in particular, Ida Haendel. His greatness is also reflected in his mental countenance. As one of the few classically versed artists, he has an undistorted perspective on tradition and modernity. Thinking in terms of fixed categories is foreign to him. "In my eye, the Paganinis, Liszts, and Chopins of the 19th century were the world's first rock stars," he says. Garrett knows the secrets of great music and understands that the more substance a work has, the more possibilities an artist has to make it his own and place it in new contexts."
Thus his musical expertise inspired him to interlace Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal with Mozart's Turkish March – and he did so before Michael Jackson's death before the world paid tribute to this exceptional talent. David Garrett sets trends of his own because he is also ahead of his time. And yet he knows that talent and a command of one's instrument do not suffice alone if one is to intellectually and spiritually penetrate a work and gain a grasp of it. A background knowledge of music theory enables the well-traveled artist to analyze and scrutinize scores. "Many great works are unbelievably rich in diverse possibilities. A certain passage in Mozart's Turkish March and one in Smooth Criminal have almost the same harmonic progression. This goes to show that apart from instrumentalization, music has hardly changed at all over the past 250 years. We continue to work with the same material."
The artist was rewarded with an ECHO Classic 2008 in the category "Classic without Borders." The "Encore" followed fast on this first success in October 2008, even surpassing the former release as a follow-up album. In the USA, "David Garrett" stayed number one in the classical and classical crossover charts for months.
With the album "Classic Romance", released in November 2009, the violin virtuoso returned to classic turf. He created a special, very personal CD centering around Mendelssohn's violin concerto, accompanied by seven small works from the Classic and Romantic periods. "Classic Romance" had an enormous resonance, winning Garrett the ECHO Classic 2010 in the category "Bestseller of the Year." "Classical music is where my heart lies, and I am elated that I succeed in bringing my message across to the audience."
In June 2010, all previous musical activities of the star violinist culminated in a further exciting challenge: Rock Symphonies. At the legendary concert at Park Wuhlheide in Berlin, David Garrett delivered an unprecedentedly individual "musical address" to his multi-generational audience. Classics from all epochs – from the Baroque Age to modern times, from Bach to Nirvana – are presented in a newly arranged symphonic idiom. Once again his courage to embrace new things was rewarded.
In 2011, he received no less than two ECHO awards for his "Rock Symphonies". The DVD "David Garrett: Rock Symphonies – Open Air Live" was distinguished in the category "Best Domestic DVD Production" and as "Best Artist" in the category "Rock/Pop Domestic". "To date," Garrett says, "'Rock Symphonies' is my most extraordinary and ambitious project. For this reason I look forward to getting together with the guys in my band, the orchestra and the audience on the 2011 Tour. For me, these people are all part of one large musical family."
After his successful Rock Symphonies Tour in 2011, David went back to his classical roots. In the autumn, the star-violinist was Honorary Judge in the category violin at the International Music Competition Cologne. He fulfilled his lifetime-dream with the recording of the DECCA album "Legacy", which was first released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. On this CD, you can listen to the Beethoven Violin-Concerto, which David considers this "the ultimate masterpiece of the violin repertoire", plus various works by Fritz Kreisler.
Legacy proved to be an exceptional success. As soon as the album was released, it reached rank six on the overall charts in Germany, the highest-ranking instrumental classical album in German chart history. In January 2012, the album reached gold status. Legacy was released in the UK on 12th March and in the US on June 05.

Summary and Keywords
The American Revolution was an episode in a transatlantic outcry against the corruption of the British balance of power and liberty institutionalized in the Glorious Revolution of 1688–1689. English speakers during the 18th century reflected on this constitutional crisis within a larger conversation about the problem of human governance. Although many people excluded from Parliament supported political reform, if not revolution, they also sought remedies for the perversion of political power and influence in new forms of social power and influence. This article looks at the convergence of political and social discussions in a common discourse about the nature of power and the ways in which human beings influenced each other. The first section outlines the meanings of power and influence in British politics. The second section uses the novelist Sarah Fielding's Remarks on Clarissa (1759) to delineate revolutionary notions about social power and influence. The third section turns to the speeches and writings of Edmund Burke in the run-up to the American Revolution to look at how English speakers deployed notions of social power to advocate for political reform.
Keywords: Power, influence, authority, society, politics, commerce, imagination, sentiment, judgement

; The kitchens are filled with all types of electronics and machines. There is a refrigerator attached in the kitchen for your feasibility.
; The location of the apartments is also very interesting. You can enjoy the center of the city when you live in these apartments. All the malls, amusement parks, airport and hospitals are close to your apartment.
; You can even keep a pet in your apartment. There is a proper arrangement of keeping a pet at your place. Not many apartments allow you to keep your pet with you.
So, these are some of the main benefits of living in apartment. Other than saving your money and energy, apartment allow you to enjoy number of facilities and stay safe. They have got lower security risks because all the apartments are built in premises and they have got a boundary. Thus, in Lithonia apartments are best chosen place to live.

My friend Dan lives in New York and he mentioned the other day that he wouldn't mind a more minimal home theater receiver since his apartment doesn't have all that much room to begin with:
I currently have an insanely complicated home theater setup that takes up half my closet, connected by a rat's nest of cables that I dare not touch lest I inexplicably lose the left audio channel on my Blu-ray player. It's ridiculous, it's completely overkill for my needs, and did I mention it takes up half my closet? My tiny, Manhattan-sized closet?
My home theater receiver is huge. Massive. It's 10" tall, 20" deep, weighs 800 lbs, and probably draws more power than our air conditioner. Despite its long list of capabilities, it has but two jobs that are of any use to me: 1) switch between my various components, and 2) make things loud.
And so, I find myself looking for a replacement. Something small. Something elegant. Something that does what I need, and nothing more. […]
As I rather enjoy home theater stuff, I thought I'd try to come up with a few options for him.
What I soon discovered is that there aren't many products in this category. Granted, you'd have several options if all you had needed was 2-channel (stereo) amplification. (I suppose they're catering to systems that one might place on a bookshelf or the like.) On the other hand, when catering to a home theater, a receiver needs a separate amplifier for each of (at least) five channels; those extra amplifiers alone take up more space. In addition, it seems that there isn't much demand for "bookshelf" home theaters and so multi-channel receivers typically use amplifiers that are beefy enough to fill medium-to-large rooms. (And beefier amplifiers take up yet more room.)
Nonetheless, I did find a handful of options that I thought might work for Dan. I didn't come across a single perfect product—for instance, some were small, but had a lot of buttons, while others were relatively larger but had few buttons— but I think there're some promising options here.
I decided to use the Outlaw Audio 1050 in my bedroom (a 70 Wpc receiver) as a baseline for comparison. It's served me well for many years, but more importantly for this discussion, its size and weight seemed to be fairly representative of an average receiver:
- Width: 17 3/16"
- Height: 6 1/8"
- Depth: 14 5/16"
- Weight: 36.3 lbs
Sherwood R-904N NetBoxx
- Width: 17" (1% narrower than baseline)
- Height: 2 7/8" (53% shorter)
- Depth: 12" (16% shallower)
- Weight: 10.3 lbs (72% lighter)
- Power: 100 Wpc × 7 channels
- Price: About $440
This receiver is clearly the leader in size (or lack thereof). While not the narrowest or the lightest of the bunch—those honors would fall to the Yamaha—this one is the shortest (height) and shallowest (depth). Unfortunately, though, this receiver has some design drawbacks that might be deal breakers for some:
The first complaint that I must mention is a styling issue related to the front display of the NetBoxx. The front of the unit is covered with very bright blue LEDs. During the day these LEDs are fairly innocuous; however placed in a dark room, they become extremely distracting. I don't understand why Sherwood would put a dimmer option on the unit that only dims some of the LEDs. Because of this I would recommend placing the NetBoxx in a location out of sight, which is a shame as it's otherwise an attractive unit. […]
Yamaha neoHD YMC-500
- Width: 11 3/4" (32% narrower than baseline)
- Height: 3 5/8" (41% shorter)
- Depth: 12 3/8" (13% shallower)
- Weight: 7.9 lbs (78% lighter)
- Power: 35~50? Wpc × 5 channels (I had a hard time confirming the power output.)
- Price: About $180
This is a pretty darn small receiver. It's the narrowest (width) and lightest (weight) of the bunch, and even though the Sherwood beats it on height and depth, the Yamaha is only 3/4" taller and 3/8" deeper. This receiver also has the fewest front-panel buttons: 2 (volume knob & power button).
Oddly enough, I had some trouble confirming this receiver's power output; the specifications I was able to find weren't all that explicit in this regard, but the unit appears to either have 35 or 50 Wpc as best as I can figure.
If this type of minimalism were of interest, the YMC-500's bigger brother, the YMC-700, might also be worth considering. Both models allow you to play music from your home network, but the YMC-700 (which goes for about $500) has built-in WiFi (rather than just an Ethernet port). Plus, Yamaha also offers an iPhone app that can control one's YMC-700. (The app communicates over WiFi and so it works with the YMC-700 but not the YMC-500.)
Marantz NR1501
- Width: 17 3/8" (1% wider than baseline)
- Height: 4 3/16" (31% shorter)
- Depth: 14 1/2" (1% deeper)
- Weight: 19 lbs (48% lighter)
- Power: 50 Wpc × 7 channels
- Price: About $400
The Marantz may be the most traditional of the receivers here. While its dimensions might not be as low as the other receivers here, its height is only 9/16" taller than the next-shorest model (the Yamaha) and 1 5/6" taller than the shortest (the Sherwood). Even then, it's still about 1/3 shorter than a standard receiver and about half the weight.
Even if the Marantz might not seem as impressive as the others when it comes to size, it does have a few things going for it. For one thing, its back panel includes 2 optical inputs (and 2 coax digital inputs). Granted, Dan mentioned only needing a single optical input (which the Sherwood and Yamaha have), although I can't help but wonder if that second input might potentially come in handy if Dan were to ever get another device such as an X-Box or a TiVo.
Another potential advantage of the Marantz is its pedigree. Marantz is owned by D&M Holdings, a company that also owns Denon, McIntosh, and a few other brands. I'm not saying that Yamaha is a slouch—although I have my suspicions about Sherwood—but Marantz is a brand that's known for its attention to detail and build quality. I would expect any of their equipment to last for many years.
Additional Thoughts
There may not be a clear winner here, but there may be a receiver that's best for you depending on the features that you value most.
I would only consider the Sherwood if sheer size is your utmost concern. It's not the lightest of the bunch, but it's definitely the shortest. On the other hand, I'm a bit skeeved out by its build quality—if they're already screwed up the blue LEDs across the front, how much else might be sub-par?
For most people, I think it comes down to the Yamaha and the Marantz. On one hand, the Yamaha is the cheaper of the two ($180 vs. $400), but on the other hand, the YMC-700 (which goes for $500) seems like a justifiable step-up considering that model's WiFi streaming (née Ethernet) and iPhone app support. So, depending on which Yamaha model you'd be putting up against the Marantz, it could be a toss-up between those two brands on price.
What I think it comes down to is size & minimalism vs. capability & pedigree. The Yamaha is certainly the smaller overall and its front facia—with just two buttons—is also sparser. Still, the Marantz has a few more inputs (which may come in handy if you get more devices) and it also has a clear 50 Wpc × 7 channels. (The Yamaha's specifications were somewhat unclear, but it appears to have either 35 or 50 Wpc. Even so, that's across 5 channels rather than the Marantz' 7.)
If I were in Dan's shoes, I might lean toward the Marantz. All the same, the Yamaha would not be a bad choice either.

It seems to me that everywhere I turn, people are getting and giving more and more rules about how to be good advocates for people in the third world. In some ways, I think that this is really good. The masses are being educated about how to help without being harmful. We are learning to be mindful and respectful of culture, local economies, etc. But on the flip side, I now have no idea of what to do. All I hear is that pretty much every single humanitarian act that people do, actually hurts more and creates more bad policy than if regular people just did nothing. It seems that the more I learn and the more that I study poverty, that there is really nothing left to do because it all seems wrong.
For instance, when we went to Congo, we took lots and lots of stuff. In our bag of goods to take to the orphanage were clothes for the kids. But now it seems that these kinds of things are the wrong things to do. After all, textile mills are going under in the third world because so many impoverished countries are wearing American's hand-me-downs. I get it. I really do. But I also wonder, how else were those specific kids going to get clothed? Or get shoes on their feet unless someone brought it to them? Last time I checked, most orphanages didn't have a discretionary fund to buy new ensembles for the children in their care.
The same criticisms are said of Westerners visiting orphanages altogether. The children are given little glimmers of attention by well meaning visitors. They are given the opportunity for a meal or new beds are moved into the orphanage and then those visitors leave. And then what? It is being said that those things are damaging to the children and make it more difficult for them to make connections when they feel that everyone is transient. I get that too. I really do. But don't those children still need a place to sleep and someone to love on them, if even for a moment?
And then there is the notion that all international adoptions are bad altogether. The reason being that children are losing their culture and that by taking a child out of an impoverished country that we are once again showing our elitism. We are robbing that child of the opportunity to be raised in his native country. I get it. I really do. Adoption is loss. It's hard and messy and complicated. I am ALL for family reunification and inter-country foster care. But is it logical to think that every child that is in an orphanage right now will get a sponsor or a foster family in their native country? Not really. So what should happen to the children that don't have a chance at care in their own country? I'm of the school of thought that adoption will always be necessary and that it is better for a child to have a home and a family (even if it is in another country) than to languish in an orphanage. You can show me all the research and all the statistics, and I'm just not sure that I'll change my mind that adoption is a necessary part of the whole big picture (even if it is just a small part).
Short term mission trips are treated like the devil now. We go into places with our American notions and often make a mess of things. I understand that there are a lot of wrong ways to do short term missions. But does that make them all bad? I don't know. I do know that my 16 year old heart was forever changed on a mission trip to Appalachia. I have a transracial adoptive family and a heart for the poor because of seeds that were planted on a mission trip. We probably did a lot of things wrong on that trip, but the connections made and the faith that deepened there were far reaching. Are those things now going to have to go by the wayside for fear that we are screwing it up?
Sometimes I think that the more you know, the better you can be. I know that I am going to come under fire for saying this, but when it comes to dealing with poverty and orphan care, sometimes I think that the more you know the only thing that happens is that you become stifled. It's like being so afraid of saying something that isn't perfectly politically correct, that you can't say anything. It's seems that everywhere I look, the term "badvocacy" is being thrown around and those of us in the world who are doing the best we can are living in fear of being labeled as "badvocates". I know that for myself, I've stressed over this to no end. My heart is all wrapped up in the Congo. With your help, we've raised a lot of money to do "stuff" there. Some of it has gone to feed kids who were literally starving to death. But in all honesty, I can't raise enough money to sustain an entire orphanage with food for the next 15 years. And I think that all the "research" coming out now is telling those of us who can't make a commitment for all of eternity, that our efforts are damaging. We are hearing that we are leaving children "high and dry". Y'all- that is pressure! I feel like in the world of helping impoverished countries, the experts are saying that if you can't be the world's most awesome humanitarian on the ground every single day building the exact right kinds of relationships from now until the end of time, that you should just stay away.
I truly just don't know what to do with that. Where does that leave all the naked little ones that aren't being served? What about the millions of hungry kids all over the world that aren't getting fed? Maybe we can't do it all perfectly, but it seems to me that we should be able to do something! I've read several books about it and read lots of articles, but it just leaves me feeling like there aren't any clear cut answers. I do know that there aren't enough of these "most awesome humanitarians" out there to get the job done alone. But what are the rest of us supposed to be doing? It seems that the laundry list of things that we aren't supposed to be doing when working overseas is growing exponentially while the suggestions for things that we can do is getting smaller and smaller.
I usually live by the phrase "when you know better, you do better". But in these instances it seems that when you know better you can't do anything. Am I the only one that is baffled by all this?

Quilled Daisies, Dandelions and Berries – Flowers in My Heart III.
This is my third heart decorated with quilled flowers and because I can bet it won't be the last, I decided to include them all in a series titled "Flowers in My Heart". I am sure every quiller out there will resonate with these words, as flowers are in the center of most of our artworks.
For the initial design I also quilled wheat and yellow poppies, but as I didn't have enough space to place them all and I feel that less is always more, I eventually included only the daisies, berries and the fern-like leaves in the final arrangement.
For the daisy petals I used hand cut 1mm wide paper strips, and for the berries, 2mm wide paper strips. Everything was stemmed with wires to create a realistic 3D effect. The big heart-shaped frame on which I mounted all my quilled elements is made of thick, floral wire. I tried to keep the flower sizes as close as possible to the natural ones, so the diameter of the large daisy is approximately 4cm, the small one is 3.5cm and the berries measure around 0.9cm. I took a picture with the floral arrangement on my hands so you can get an idea on the actual size:
I hope you enjoyed my display of quilled daisies, dandelions and berries! In case you've missed my other posts with hearts decorated with quilled flowers, here is where you can find them: quilled summer heart with wheat, daisies, strawberry flowers and rose hip and quilled jasmines and forget-me-nots in a heart.
Thank you for your visit! Happy Quilling!

|Oracle FAQ
|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> is this a good practice...pl/sql question
Allright I am making some changes to some pl/sql code that handles batch inserts into the database. I am making changes to correct an error where our clients are sending us data with invalid state information in their address fields. A constraint prohibits the insert with records with invalid states, nulls are however allowed. The decision was made to insert the rest of the address information, leaving the state column null. OK that is enough background. Here is an example of how I am handling this.
for x_rec in driving_cur loop
if (x_rec.state IS INVALID)then --pseudo coded to hide embarrassing design implementation
end if;
insert into address(other_columns,..state) values(x_rec.other_cols,...x_rec.state); end loop;
I know I am asking a best practices question, and blatantly using old fashioned insert in the middle of a loop style code. This was originally developed in 7.3, and hasn't been recoded to take advantage of the bulk enhancements.
My question is regarding the practice of changing the value of a record's attribute(setting x_rec.state to null) after I have selected that record in a cursor. I have been doing this for some time, and it just dawned on me that it might not be a good idea to do this. My thinking is it might be confusing to a developer, or the fear that at some point Oracle might say.."that was obviously not an intended feature, that usage no longer allowed". I am wondering if instead I should test the state column of the record and then assign that value or NULL to a local variable. I would then insert the local variable instead of the attribute from the record.
Just sort of a bouncing the ball off the wall here, in fact I think I may have resolved the question internally while asking it. In any case I am wondering what others think.

Purcell netted a goal at No. 16 UC Santa Barbara as the Crimson
opened a six-day, five-game trip to California (photo courtesy
Harvard Athletic Communications).
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The Harvard women's water polo team opened its spring break trip to California with a loss to No. 16 UC Santa Barbara March 11. The Crimson erased a three-goal deficit, but eventually fell, 10-9, to the host Gauchos.
UCSB (12-10) started the match strong, scoring the first three goals and not allowing Harvard (8-6) to get on the board during the first quarter.
The Crimson quickly answered with three goals of its own to tie up the score in the second frame. UC Santa Barbara regained the lead, 4-3, but Harvard once again evened the score, 4-4, just before halftime.
The Gauchos had its second three-goal run to start the second half and pulled ahead, 7-4. Harvard scored two of the game's next three goals, but entered the final eight minutes down, 8-6. The Crimson scored the first goal of the final eight minutes to cut UCSB's lead to one, but the Gauchos immediately found the back of the cage to make the score 9-7. Harvard tallied two more scores in the period, but UC Santa Barbara netted one to claim a 10-9 decision.
Harvard was led in scoring by Aisha Price's hat trick, her ninth of the season. Devan Kennifer and Monica Zdrojewski each added two goals.
The Crimson continues its California trip at Whittier March 12. The contest is slated for a 6 p.m. (EST) start.

Furry Face of the Week: Meet Roscoe!
Meet Roscoe, my furry face of the week! Roscoe is a sweet terrier mix was who adopted shortly after I photographed him, but I wanted to share this picture. Doesn't it look like he's trying to convey something VERY important to you?
I'm loving my Friday mornings at the shelter, and now that Fall term has started and my summer Fridays off are over, I'm having to get creative with my photography schedule. So far I've earned enough flex time during the week to keep up on Friday mornings, but we'll see! I may soon have to come on the weekends. We just got a grant at the shelter that allowed us to set up a new indoor photo studio. We have all sorts of fun backdrops and props! I haven't shot in there yet as I'm still thinking about how I'll get a 70 lb pitt bull mix to sit on a couch and wear a boa. Any suggestions welcome!

I started off this impromptu photoshoot with Ava trying to get some good pictures of her new Livie & Luca shoes which she won through a contest Katja from Skimbaco was sponsoring. I'm happy to say not only did I get a few good pictures of the shoes, I also captured some beautiful pictures of Ava that I intend to use for her 3-year-pics since I hadn't had a chance to take any yet. (She's 3 yrs, 2 months now.)
Here's my choice for my "Best Shot Monday" and then a few others from the session that I liked below:
Ava's shoes are called Livie's Red Wings and are available at Skimbaco – a family-owned and operated business in Durango, CO. "Skimbaco's mission is to promote the ecological and philanthropic ideology by helping people to find exceptional products that are not only fun and functional but also environmentally conscious. Our mission is to spread the sunshine – make people happy." They succeeded in spreading the sunshine here. Ava and I both love her new shoes! They are easy for Ava to put on and off. The leather is super soft which makes them great for with socks/tights or without. The soles are flexible. And they are just plain cute! 🙂 Thanks again, Katja.
