If you build it, they may or may not come.
In addition, you will wind up paying much more for it than you thought.
Oh, and that halo effect? With all those people turning an empty corn field into a place of magic and the town near it into a tourist destination? Nine times out of ten, it ain't gonna happen.
We have known this to be true for sports stadiums for years. In Cincinnati, where I live, we paid a hefty sum for two giant stadiums that are underutilized and have not generated that much economic activity. It also has been an open secret in the cultural community that the same is true for new theaters and museums buildings: They are rarely necessary, almost always run over budget, and often fail to either attract the audiences or create the economic halo effect that their proponents promise.
A study done by the University of Chicago's Cultural Policy Center on the last of these, soon to be released as a book, has helped air this dirty laundry. In case after case, Joanna Woronkowicz, Carroll Joynes, Norman Bradburn, and their team found that new cultural facilities built in the last few decades in the U.S. cost too much and did not deliver what they promised. The case of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts , The Philadelphia Orchestra's awful new concert hall, is most well-known, as it contributed to the orchestra's bankruptcyuxazyvvavydrfdxb three years ago. In my hometown, I can point to the equally dismal National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, which the Museum Center took over two years ago in an effort to save it.
A big part of the conundrum is that the logical path that cultural institutions should follow— carefully and thoughtfully renovating and expanding their existing structures—is difficult to pursue because we live in a funding environment in which donors support splashy new structures they can put their name on. The leaders of these institutions know that they need more and better space, but the easiest way to get it is to make something recognizable and new so that they can then show that they have accomplished something (the "edifice complex").
The resulting institutions rarely pay for themselves, either through attendance or by generating tax revenues from new coffee shops and renovated lofts around them. What they do is something important, however, and something the University of Chicago study does not catch: they act as anchors. Pouring money into museums and theaters might seem like the urban equivalent of throwing funds down the drain, except that something remains. That facility that brings people together for shared experiences also acts as a monument that, because of the sunk costs, is a stable and enduring presence. Cultural institutions are, in fact, the only type of building I know of that can justify the making of monuments in the sense of structures that act as repositories of our communal memories and values.
In an age that judges everything by "metrics," the value of an anchor is as hard to judge as those budget overruns are easy to see. The very fact of endurance and the slow space that cultural institutions create become part of a community's fabric, and this can takes decades to truly sink in. In Cincinnati, local arts funding group ArtsWave conducted surveys to find out whether people feel safer around cultural monuments, and whether cultural monuments improve their sense of belonging—but those are fairly loose and inconclusive figures.
The authors of the University of Chicago study are right. We should be very careful about over-investing in cultural institutions, especially silly ones like George Lucas's museum that will now mess up Chicago's unparalleled string of lakefront parks after failing to foul Golden Gate Park. Yet build we must, not so that they will come, but so that they—our collections, our symphonies, and the communities that have grown around them—will stay and coalesce around shared values fixed in concrete forms.

Heading into Tuesday's game against the Buffalo Sabres (7:30 p.m., TSN, RDS, TSN Radio 690), Canadiens rookie Alex Galchenyuk has only one point in his last 10 games, but coach Michel Therrien isn't concerned.
"He's playing a mature game," Therrien said. "Sometimes he'll miss a few things, but we'll sit down with him and show him. He's part of every power-play meeting and every penalty-kill meeting. We know he's going to be there and he's going to be ready."
Therrien added that the 19-year-old is still adjusting to the jump from junior.
"He has a tendency to handle the puck too much and try to make the good play," said Therrien. "In the NHL, the play is so tight and the opening is so small and you have to see it. You always have to do the percentage play. It's part of the learning process. You have to accept what the other team is going to give you. When there's time, you have to make the play and where there isn't time, you can't force the play."
Meanwhile, veteran Colby Armstrong finally ended his slump in Saturday's 2-1 win in New Jersey, scoring his first goal in a Canadiens uniform in his 28th game. But Armstrong said it was just a matter of time since he was getting his chances.
"Especially in the last five or so games before that I had quite a few good chances," he said. "I didn't know whether to snap, or laugh, or what to do.
"But you keep chipping away. You know it's going to come. I've been in that position before, where it's taken a lot of games to get a goal. This is the longest I've ever gone, but it's good to make it count in a close game like that."
With Michael Ryder returning to the lineup Tuesday against Buffalo after missing one game with a lower-body injury, the Canadiens have returned Mike Blunden to the Hamilton Bulldogs.

Tips on making your home more energy efficient
SPOKANE, Wash. - With temperatures in the teens and single digits staying warm is going to put a dent in your wallet. But what if you knew that Avista would pay you to make your home more energy efficient?
Having your energy company pay you to winterize your home takes the sting out of thinking about the bill.
Consider this: Installing insulation will get you a .25 to .50 cent rebate; if you do the math that adds up to hundreds in savings fairly quickly.Avista home energy savings
There are quick and easy ways to save on your energy bill. For instance furnaces work most efficient when set at 68 degrees. Drop it down 5 degrees at night for more savings.
Then, there are projects that require more elbow grease but the payoff is bigger.
"This year we're probably about 20,000 rebates that customers are going to take advantage of," Chris Drake with Avista said. Drake specializes in home energy efficiency.
"A lot of things are visual so if you look at a door where there's light all the way around the door, if you added that up it'd be about the same size as a softball," Drake said.
He also came offering rebates to homeowners who go the extra mile.
"A lot of times it's 'Well maybe I've already done everything I can' so that's what we're trying to promote is that there's always a little bit more that you can do and those little investments do add up," he said.
You can get rebates that add up to big bucks from Avista, like a .25 to 50 cent per square foot rebate on attic, floor or wall insulation and anywhere from $50 to $100 for better appliances.
"Often times if you're looking at a couple of years. It's a longer term investment for these capital improvements but in a few years you're really going to be reaping those benefits," Drake said.

By NEMS Daily Journal and News-Exchange
Union County, New Albany and Mississippi Department of Corrections officers are completing a roundup of indictees this morning. Within three hours of the 5 a.m. start of Operation Deja Vu, nearly 20 suspects – all charged with selling illegal drugs – had been apprehended.
Indictments have followed investigation over 10 months to a year. 28 indictments, mostly for sale of crack cocaine or cocaine powder. Most suspects are charged with multiple counts – some only one sale but one with six sales.
Police say about half those indicted are being charged as habitual offenders and 10 of the city suspects are already on parole. Partly because of this and past charges, one defendant is looking at life without parole and nine are looking at up to life. About 17 had been brought in by 8 a.m.
Authorities will have a list of defendants in custody, charges, bonds and other information later today.
More as it is available.

Coleus forskohlii is an ancient Ayurvedic plant and member of the mint and lavender family, which grows in the mountains of Asia. It is now grown around the world as an ornamental plant and the root is used medicinally.
As recorded in ancient Sanskrit texts, coleus was used in Ayurvedic medicine to support cardiovascular, bronchial, intestinal and neurological systems. Recent research has shown that the active ingredient in coleus is forskolin, which may play a role in a variety of important cellular functions.
Forskolin, naturally occurs in the herbs at a rate of .03%, activates the enzyme adenylate cyclase. This enzyme is a turnkey compound that initiates a cascade of critical events within every cell of the body. Adenylate cyclase and the chemicals it activates comprise a "second messenger" system that is responsible for carrying out the complex and powerful effects of hormones in the body. Stimulation of the second messenger system by forskolin may lead to blood vessel dilation, inhibition of allergic reactions, and an increase in thyroid hormone secretion. Forskolin may possibly have other properties in regards to supporting healthy inflammation levels, as well as supporting cardiovascular health. A preliminary trial found that forskolin-reduced blood pressure and improved heart function in people with cardiomyopathy. A small double-blind trial found that inhaled forskolin may possibly decrease lung spasms in asthmatics.
One of the main advantages of using raw Coleus Forskohlii Root Powder is that the active chemical forskolin may initiate a cascade of chemical reactions that may cause fat cells to possibly release their energy and melt away. In more technical terms, what happens is forskolin may increase an enzyme called adenylate cyclase, which increases levels of another enzyme called cAMP (cyclic AMP), which is found in fat. cAMP then stimulates another enzyme, hormone sensitive lipase, to burn fat. Additionally, by a similar mechanism using cAMP, coleus increases thyroid hormone production and release, thereby increasing the body's metabolism, to burn more calories.
Basically, non-GMO forskolin initiates a similar cascade of chemical reactions as ephedrine. Where coleus differs from ephedrine is ephedrine stimulates adrenergic receptors (which is the primary mechanism for ephedrine) before it reaches cAMP. Unfortunately, many negative side effects can be experienced when some of these adrenergic receptors are stimulated, such as increased blood pressure, anxiety, etc.
To the coleus user's advantage, however, coleus bypasses the adrenergic receptors and goes straight into the cAMP cycle, which is the next step in the ephedrine fat-burning process and subsequently also bypasses all of the potential unwanted, adverse effects associated with ephedrine.
Scientists have, in fact, studied the effects of coleus for over 15 years and have found an abundance of possible benefits, including body fat reduction and lean body mass enhancement. However, scientists are only now beginning to show how these effects occur in the real world. While more research is indeed needed (as is the case for many supplements), these theories and initial clinical studies adequately support its claimed benefits. Still, there is apparently some even more exciting research on the horizon.
One of the most respected individuals in the field of sports nutrition research, Dr. Richard Kreider, conducted an interesting presentation called "Ephedra Alternatives" at Nutracon, held in March 2002 in Anaheim. Here he touched on a range of speculative but promising nutrients, one of them being coleus. Dr. Kreider stated that initial pilot studies suggest Coleus Forskohlii may promote weight and fat loss and/or mitigate (or moderate) weight gain in overweight subjects.
He also presented data at the 2002 Experimental Biology meeting of his own study on coleus. In a double-blind, randomized study, 23 overweight females supplemented their diets with a form of coleus extracted for 25 mg of forskolin two times per day for 12 weeks. The participants' body composition and body weight were examined every four weeks for the 12-week study period, and any side effects were recorded on a weekly basis. The study results found that although no significant differences were observed in caloric or macronutrient intake, Forskohlii helped mitigate gains in body mass—that is, subjects taking Forskohlii observed a slight decrease in body weight while subjects taking the placebo continued to gain weight. Additionally, the study showed users felt less fatigue, so they had more energy. And their appetites were reduced, so they felt fuller for longer. Also on the upside, there were no reported negative side effects.
Some possible traditional uses of Raw Coleus Forskohlii Root Powder may include:
● Aiding in weight reduction
● May support healthy testosterone levels
● May Improve energy levels
● May support anti-platelet action, combined with Ginger & Turmeric
● May support healthy levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP)

Libertarians suggest Nobel announcements should be moved to April Fool's Day
WASHINGTON - The Libertarian Party today suggested that, in the future, the announcement date every year for Nobel Prizes be moved to April 1.
"Unlike the gullible people who listened to The War of the Worlds radio broadcast in 1938 and thought Martians really were attacking the United States, when I heard this morning that Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, I changed the channel in disbelief. But, the same thing was being said in multiple places," Libertarian National Committee Chairman William Redpath said.
"The gravity of the Nobel awards has not been augmented by some of their recent selections, including today's announcement, last year's award of the Economics prize to Paul Krugman, or the 2007 Peace Prize to Al Gore, whose global warming theories he will not defend in open debate. Maybe an early Springtime announcement date would be more appropriate."
Redpath continued, "I didn't know that it was the role of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee to be handicapping the future performance of individuals and organizations. Nonetheless, we congratulate President Obama on his award and hope that three-and-a-quarter or seven-and-a-quarter years from now the Nobel Peace Prize Committee will be seen as prescient.
"President Obama will best fulfill the promise of peace that the Nobel Committee apparently sees in him by not trying to cure all the ills of the world, but by working to make the United States an example for the other nations of the world through implementation of a Libertarian foreign policy--military non-interventionism combined with free trade policies in fact, and not just in rhetoric. With those guiding principles, the world will be a freer, safer and more prosperous planet at the conclusion of the Obama Administration."

The LP is America's third-largest political party, founded in 1971. The Libertarian Party stands for free markets and civil liberties. You can find more information on the Libertarian Party at our website.

Six-time GRAMMY-winning artist Big Boi recently visited The Recording Academy's headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., for an installment of 5 Questions With ... . Topics of discussion included his songwriting and creative processes, music mentoring, the benefits of Academy membership, current projects, and more.
"The songwriting process I've used for the past couple of records, I like to call it lyrical surgery," said Big Boi. "I sit in a room with a beat for days at a time, and as the lines come to me I write them and go and [record] them a line at a time. Sometimes it takes a day, sometimes it takes a couple hours, sometimes it might take a couple of weeks. I've found [I'm] very prolific doing it that way because [I'm] paying attention to every little detail."

Binghamton University and SUNY Upstate Medical University sign articulation agreement, MOU
BINGHAMTON, NY – Binghamton University President C. Peter Magrath and SUNY Upstate Medical University President David Smith today signed an articulation agreement that links the two institutions academically in new ways, and a memorandum of understanding for shared course offerings in their neuroscience graduate programs.
"These agreements affirm Binghamton University's commitment to this strategic partnership with a respected, first-class medical university," said Binghamton University President C. Peter Magrath. "One focus of our strategic plan is increased activity in the health and natural sciences, and this synergistic partnership in research and teaching is a win-win that will enrich the offerings available to our students."
The articulation agreement provides a pathway for an exceptional Binghamton University student to be automatically admitted into SUNY Upstate Medical University's highly competitive Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program, and reserves, at minimum, one slot per year for an exceptional student to enroll in SUNY Upstate Medical University's College of Graduate Studies to pursue a PhD in the biomedical sciences.
The SURF program enrolls only 10 students a year from a pool of over 100, and last year the College of Graduate Studies enrolled an entering class of just 21.
The MOU will allow both institutions to expand and diversify their curriculums in the neurosciences through use of video conferencing technology.
"I am delighted to stand with my friend Peter Magrath today and formalize some of the relationships between two campuses that have been informally aligned for decades," said Upstate President David R. Smith. "Our stated goal is to be the finest regionalized academic health center and strong ties to our SUNY partners form the bedrock for that aspiration. This is a continuation of a wonderful and strong partnership."
In addition to the MOUs being signed, the two institutions are celebrating completion of the first collaborative projects between the Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science and the medical school. Experts in healthcare delivery are working closely to improve the functionality of operating rooms and the emergency department at Upstate hospitals.
"Congratulations to the Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science and SUNY Upstate Medical on the completion of their first collaborative project," said Senator Tom Libous. "With today's agreement, we're all looking forward to many more successful projects between these two exceptional institutions."
Additional research partnerships are being explored in both cancer research and the neurosciences at the two institutions, with the eventual goal of developing research synergies that capitalize on the expertise available at both locations.
"This new formal partnership between Binghamton University and SUNY Upstate Medical University is very exciting and holds much promise," said Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo (D-Endwell), chair of the Legislative Commission on Science & Technology. "Last year, I encouraged them to work closely together, knowing that their combined expertise would be extremely powerful."

It's possible to play Christmas carols with humor but not mockery. So, yes, there's a bit of an eggnog buzz in the wah-wah muted horns of "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," and a soca lilt to "Jingle Bells." But in this case, "humor" means serious-minded but without solemnity or sentimentality.
In fact, Bley plays it as straight-up as her title suggests: she (mostly on piano) and bassist/partner Steve Swallow are joined by a brass quintet put together by Berlin bass-trombone and tuba player Ed Partyka — a sound as trad-Xmas as it gets. But listen to album opener "O Tannenbaum" as that brass quintet moves incrementally, a half-step at a time, into extended harmonies, a trumpet cadenza, and a final jazz chord.
There are the Christmas touches of glockenspiel, celesta, and chimes here and there, but mostly Bley is looking for new ways to dig into this too-familiar material. Sometimes that means turning a melody like "Away in a Manger" over to Swallow for a poignant high-note reading — his five-string bass singing at the top of its register — before a horn enters with "Middle Eastern" scales, the tension between minor and major coloring the song's warm reassurances. And sometimes that means just letting a trumpet blow jazz swing over walking bass, as on the Bley original "Hell's Bells." The writing and playing here are so beautiful, in fact, that "Christmas music" hardly does it justice.

HOLLAND -- Awards as the outstanding senior athletes among Hope College graduates in the class of 2005 were presented to two students during the college's Honors Convocation on Thursday (April 28).
Jacob (Jake) Schrock of Clarksville (Lakewood HS) was presented the Otto van der Velde All-Campus Award while Adelynn (Adie) Vilmann of Houghton (Houghton HS) received the John Schouten award.
The van der Velde award is presented to a senior man for outstanding contribution to the college in athletics, scholarship and participation in student activities. The award, presented annually since 1932, is named in memory of Dr. Otto van der Velde, a 1915 Hope College graduate who lettered in four sports and was later the college's team physician for more than 40 years.
The Schouten award is given to a senior women who, in addition to excelling in athletics, possess other strong character traits and leadership abilities. The award is named in memory of John "Jack" Schouten who was a long-time physical educator and coach at Hope, in addition to serving as the college's first director of athletics.
A management major, Schrock was a two-year football letterwinner. He achieved all-conference (MIAA) honors this past fall while establishing several school receiving records. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lamar Schrock of Clarksville.
A biology major, Vilmann was a four-year letterwinner in basketball. She was co-captain of the team as a junior and senior and was a two-time all-conference (MIAA) honoree. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Vilmann of Houghton.

Moroccan newsweeklies confiscated over royal poll
A bizarre case of press censorship arose recently in
when authorities seized 100,000 copies of the country's two leading
newsweeklies--TelQuel and its Arabic-language sister publication, Nichane--after
they published the results of a poll in which Moroccans were asked to assess
their king. The odd part? Ninety-one percent of Moroccans said they found the rule
of King Mohammed VI mainly "positive." Morocco

Thread: Iwagumi Shrimp Nano
So tonight I went out and got myself two lovely female bettas on my way home from work. I ll post pics of them when they get use to me and start to pose for the camera. I am not sure if I over paid for these ladies. They cost me $4.99USD each, is this too much? I usually shop around but I didn't feel like running around today. Feeling a bit under the weather.
I added a DeepBlue betta heat stick( which I hate). It is only temporary until I find something better, Im in no rush and neither is my wallet It works fine keeping the water at 80 deg F.
I also set up the AquaClear 20 that has been running on my 30gallon for the last 2 month.
The last thing I added was this cool little glass planter that I found on Ebay. It is currently empty. I'm not sure what to do with it, but it looks awesome lol. Not sure if it goes well in this tank. I am open to suggest. Its called NAG-aqua music Aquarium Tank Mini Crystal Glass Pot, such a long name for such a tiny thing. It cost me $15, but I am happy with it even though I have no idea what and where to use it with. Here are some pics of it.
oh you can see one of the girls in this pic. I also added Marimo moss balls. I believe moss in very important for dwarf shrimp. I did not want to deal with loose java moss or having to it down. I am trying to keep this tank as simple and minimalist as possible.
I probably will eventually plant something in it like Hemianthus callitrichoides(baby dwarf tears). That would give the future shrimp a second level of grazing. I am just worried that it might distract to much from the rock garden. IDK.
I am also planning on getting a white background. I think this will make the rocks and plants POP. What do you guys think?Roll the Dice!
New Edition
I stop by LFS and got a new girl. I got a crowntail female betta. Now I have a total of 3 bettas in the tank. I will prob add 2 more by the end of the month.
I have noticed the mirco swords are wilting a little ( or is called melting in aqua terms?) Its not so bad maybe one leaf ever other plant. I thinks this is happening due to shock of replanting. Next week I will be adding root tabs. I am not a big fan of ferts in a shrimp tank, but I have used them before in the other shrimp tank. I think root tabs are safer then liquid ferts for shrimp. Since I won't be adding the shrimp for a couple month anyway, figured this will help plants establish healthy root system. I have read that mirco sword can be difficult without a CO2 pump. We will see. I like gambling.
Its a little hard to tell from the pic. Notice the different coloration of the dying leaf.
Usually it is always best to prune dying leaves from plants, aquatic and terrestrial, but since they are just planted it is best to wait a little for the plant to recover from the initial shock. Just like fish, to much stress might kill the whole plant. I will most likely wait 2 weeks before pruning. Next week will add root tabs.Roll the Dice!
Pygmy Chain Sword
The pygmy chain swords are doing good.
Moss balls doing good too. I love those things. People either love em or hate em.
Roll the Dice!
Plants look good, although I'm not keen on the moss balls (personal taste for this style of set-up).
This might be an annoying suggestion (as you're already planted and set), but...
Have you considered rotating the two smaller rocks so that they all lean to the right? Like this ----> / / /
Seems to be more in line with the Iwagumi style if they look harmonious. At the moment they look splayed, although this will lesson as the plants bed in.
Be aware that some planting substrates leech ammonia. I'd be concerned that you have stock in there already so watch your ammonia levels and test daily. It's a good idea to do small, partial water changes on a daily basis in the first week of set-up.
Looking forward to seeing your shrimp stock in. You might want to consider using some sort of carpeting moss at the front - I'd consider moss essential for a shrimp set up.
Overall, a professional looking set-up. Clean and slick. Keep it up!"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Carl Sagan

Thanks for the detailed replies (and taking my suggestions in good spirit). I think the shrimp will enjoy the moss balls"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Carl Sagan

Fantastic work, Gogi! Like Firefly said, it's quite professional looking. Are you going to put a plant in that glass planter or see if the Bettas use it as a hammock? ;P I bet a male would probably build a bubble nest in there.Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story
When in doubt, ask yourself... W.W.L.S (What would Lee Say)?
Have a fish problem? Fill out and post this completed questionnaire in the General Aquarium Forum, when you start a new thread.
Thanks Kevin Not sure what to do with that planter yet. It might not even stay in that tank. I put a mossball in there yesterday and the girl bettas try to squeese in their wih the ball. I ll try to capture pics.Roll the Dice!
Plant update....
Micro Swords are still in shock mode or they do not like my lighting. I am NOT getting another light. Spending $$$$ on an additional plant light is not in the budget. Guess they either make it or they don't.
Dosing 1 ml Excel every other day. Root tabs went in over the weekend. I am confident the swords will be okay later on. Patience is key with plants.
On the bright side the pygmy chain sword threw out its first "jumper" LOL. Unlike most plants that send out runners below the substrate, this plant shoots out the young plants from above the substrate. No "runners"
Last edited by Gogi; 02-06-2013 at 01:34 AM.Roll the Dice!
Gogi, those things will overrun your tank if you let them. Keep those suckers in check! ;P While they do throw runners out, above the substrate, they will attach themselves (quite well), via roots. Sometimes, however, they'll shoot a runner up and out, so you have a floating plant, then another one back down which attaches itself.Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story

The ploughed field is an expressive response to the Aldinga and McLaren Vale region south of Adelaide where Horace Trenerry lived from 1934. Having left Adelaide during the Great Depression, Trenerry lived and worked in Willunga in relative isolation and poverty until 1951. In the early 1920s he lived briefly in Sydney where he studied at the Julian Ashton Art School. During this period he painted alongside Elioth Gruner who instilled in Trenerry a love of painting outdoors and an interest in depicting the effects of light on the Australian landscape. Returning to South Australia from Sydney in the late 1920s Trenerry developed a friendship with Hans Heysen who encouraged the younger artist to travel and visit the Flinders Ranges. Trenerry engaged with the painting styles of Gruner and Heysen, yet responded to the landscape with his own instinctive and highly sensitive approach.
In The ploughed field Trenerry used a restricted palette, tightly structured composition and dynamic painterly surface typical of his work. He defined the expanse of the field with short, layered, vertical brushstrokes (depicting the crops) over long horizontal lines. Bands of pink, orange and red suggest the rich, fertile earth of the region. The trees, sky and distant buildings are represented by dabs, dots, scrapes and square strokes of paint. Trenerry often mixed oil paint with powdered paint, a technique that created the opaque and chalky effect characteristic of his work.1

How HP Converged Storage benefits you:
Increasing VM density
Eliminate storage bottlenecks typically encountered in vSphere environments. HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage provides consistent levels of performance, regardless of the capacity utilization of the array. The HP 3PAR StoreServ Mesh Active Architecture and wide striping allow you to eliminate performance barriers present with traditional storage. As a result, you'll be able to double VM density on your VMware host servers. In fact, we even guarantee it.
Improved availability and business continuity
HP StoreVirtual Storage is designed to maximize application availability in virtualized environments. This is achieved through built-in protection against data faults and site failures, as well as the ability to scale non-disruptively. Network RAID stripes and protects multiple copies of data across a cluster of storage nodes, eliminating any single point of failure. The HP StoreVirtual Multi-Site Storage, certified with vSphere Metro Storage Cluster (vMSC), provides you with the ability to assign storage nodes in the cluster to different sites across racks, rooms, buildings, and cities. This can be utilized in conjunction with the vSphere HA and FT features to provide high or continuous availability across sites separated by distances.
Improved performance and efficiency with vStorage API integration
HP works closely with VMware to integrate with the vSphere vStorage API program to improve performance, efficiency, scalability, and resource utilization through tight integration with VAAI and VASA.
Information on specific storage arrays and models that support VAAI and VASA can be found in the VMware Compatibility Guide.

Mali: Neighbourhoods emptied by rising flood waters
Heavy rains in Ségou in central Mali forced thousands of people to flee their homes in August, with entire neighbourhoods emptying as families searched for refuge. More than 175 homes were destroyed and hundreds of people are still living in temporary shelters.
"I have been living for more than 30 years in Bozo Doga neighbourhood and this is the first time I have witnessed floods of this scale," said Nana Tapo, one of the evacuees who found refuge in a school. "I have been living in this classroom for fourteen days, with my husband, my nine children and nine other people, including my grandchildren."
Nana Tapo are still living in the school, more than a month after first seeking refuge there.
In all, about 10,700 people living in and around the city of Segou were affected by the floods that were triggered by heavy rains between 9 and 12 August. Malick Ouédraogo, the head of Bozo Doga neighbourhood says that people still need a lot of support. "It is a duty for families to share their meagre resources with those who lost everything," he said.
"(But) it is even more worrying that people from this neighbourhood have not yet recovered from last year's poor agricultural season. We urgently need food supplies, mats and mosquito nets."
In the nearby Bloc 40 neighbourhood, about 300 people sought shelter in 15 overcrowded classrooms at their local school. In addition to their homes, these families also lost 50 hectares of rice and onions. They have received some supplies - mosquito nets, mats, tarpaulins, food and kitchen utensils - from local authorities and individuals, as well as from the French NGO ACTED and the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF).
"The current level of assistance is not sufficient to cover the needs of all flood victims but we have made sure that every person received at least something," said Demba Coulibaly, the head of Falada neighbourhood, who is in charge of looking after people at the school.
Longer-term concerns
All affected neighbourhoods and areas sit alongside the Niger river. People who live there cultivate rice and rely on fishing as a source of income. However, many of their boats, nets and other supplies were carried away in the floods.
"We need additional food supplies but also support to resume fishing and other activities that generate income," said Salimata Sanogo, a 50 year old mother of four.
There are also growing concerns about sanitation, since many water sources were exposed to contamination. On top of this, schools are scheduled to re-open for students in October after three months of holidays.
''My main worry is the precarious hygiene conditions that could lead to an increased risk of disease," said Maky Bah, the mayor of the rural neighbourhood of Sirifini Boundy, one of the flooded neighbourhoods.
"I call on everybody to assist us in increasing risk awareness among communities, to make sure that they have the necessary support to quickly improve sanitation conditions. Despite the help provided, needs are still huge. We need more food supplies and more mosquito nets."
OCHA is monitoring the situation together with the authorities and humanitarian agencies in Ségou, and is part of the national floods working group established by the government. OCHA, in collaboration with the National Directorate of Civil Protection, is providing humanitarian actors and their partners with consolidated information on the scale of the needs and the importance of quickly mobilizing resources to help people in need.

In 2008, she supported John Kerry, who she describes as being "incredibly nice." • Recently published research indicates that children born to "child brides" (girls under the age of 18) in India are more likely to be malnourished than those born to older mothers, and 67% of the children born in the past five years to underage mothers were found to be malnourished. They also found that the child's health was not linked to the mother's BMI. • A Saudi schoolgirl of uncertain age (a human right's group has said she is 13, while school officials maintain that she is 20) has been sentenced to 90 lashes and two months in prison for assaulting a teacher.

"And these people (who attack us), run off the bus and we can't identify them." • A French parliamentary panel has decided not to request a full ban of the face veil, but instead to limit the limitation to public buildings, including schools and hospitals. Muslim religious leaders fear the ban could lead people to stigmatize Muslims and drive some to extremism. • Female athletes are at a much greater risk for specific musculoskeletal injuries and medical conditions, according to a paper from the University of Alberta. The gender disparity is believed to be caused by training programs designed for young men, which don't take sex differences into account. • Americans have, for the most part, resolved the Mrs. vs. Miss issue with the inclusion of Ms, but French women haven't yet made the switch - and still find themselves stuck between "Madame" and "Mademoiselle."

Homebuilders had a very big day on Wednesday, after the Mortgage Bankers Association released new data showing that applications for home mortgages jumped last week, with refinancings hitting a multi-year high. The MBA said applications jumped 16.6% in the week ending Sept. 28, and refinancing applications jumped 20% to their highest level since April 2009.
"Financial markets continue to adjust to QE3, as the ongoing presence of the Federal Reserve as a significant buyer of mortgage-backed securities applies downward pressure on rates," said Mike Fratantoni, MBA's Vice President of Research and Economics, in a statement. "Although there was a slight decline in the HARP share of refinance activity, the level of HARP volume remains steady."
Lennar (LEN) jumped 6.9%, KB Home (KBH) rose 6.1%, DR Horton (DHI) rose 6.2%, Toll Brothers (TOL) rose 3.7%, and PulteGroup (PHM) rose 6%.

VIDEO: The trailer for Silent Hill: Homecoming
But I also have the duty to tell you that this game scared the living crap out of me.
Although the Silent Hill series is revered as one of the great survival horror franchises, few would argue that it hasn't lost something off its fastball in recent years. The last proper sequel, Silent Hill 4: The Room, was a strange entry that, despite some high points, felt like a dead end. Then there was Silent Hill Origins for the PSP, which was good for what it was but brought nothing new to the table. Homecoming likewise relies on popular moments from past games. But it also taps into the vein of psychological terror that has pulsed beneath the surface of the best Silent Hills.
Players take the reins of Alex Shepherd, an injured war veteran who returns to his home town of Shepherd's Cove to search for his missing brother, Joshua. Like the town of Silent Hill in previous games, Shepherd's Cove seems more nightmare than physical location. It's socked in by dense fog, roads end abruptly at deep chasms, and hardly anyone seems to live there. Oh and then there are the hideous monsters with a habit of lurching at you out of the mist.
As opposed to the recent Dead Space, here it's not clear whether you're supposed to take the setting and the events as real. There's the suggestion that everything is happening in Alex's mind, particularly when the world around him peels away to reveal an infernal alternate dimension. He sees his brother everywhere he goes, but Joshua never seems to notice him. In the margins of the story line, we get a glimpse of Alex's unhappy home life as a child.
Whatever plane of reality the game is operating on, the danger to Alex is genuine. In the classic survival horror tradition, he has limited resources, health and ammo are tough to find, and save points are few and far between. This can result in periods of frustration, when progress is lost because of an unexpected death. But that's also what keeps the tension up. Even the sloppy combat controls, which I never did get the hang of, add to the fear.
Silent Hill: Homecoming isn't an action game, and you have to accept that. It's a game about the horrors that lurk just out of view. You explore dilapidated hospitals, prisons, and homes — places that seem to have absorbed years of human tragedy into their walls. These disquieting environments are punctuated by moments of pure terror: Alex carries a radio with him at all times, and it emanates static as monsters approach. Given that you can rarely see 10 feet beyond him, the growing hiss as you spin the camera around trying to locate the threat induces something like panic.
Let me stress that if you're looking for a pure gaming experience, Silent Hill: Homecoming isn't it. But if you want a horror game that will have you sleeping with the lights on, here you go.

Yup. Now there are Star Wars blinds!
3 Day Blinds must have some fans in ownership / management:
You can order customized blinds from
The Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
A New Hope
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
and in May 2005, they will reveal their exclusive Revenge of the Sith product line.
The stuff includes the Movie and Teaser posters, orginal and Special Edition, as well as others (video release, etc) for each film.
It also includes character and spaceship shots, landscape battle scenes, etc.
I am actually going to consider these if they are still offering them in another year, if I can get my house by then.
I have theme rooms for my collection, by color coordination. And I like particular panoramic art, so it got me thinking about what I'd like:
White Room (Hoth / Bespin mostly) - the AT-AT Walker Advance blinds
Tan Room (Tatooine / Geonosis / Mustafar Prequels) - probably the Republic Gunship assault on Geonosis
Tan Room 2 (Tatooine Sequels) - I'd like Luke looking at the twin suns if they'll do this....Jabba's Palace possibly. A panoramic view of Mos Eisley maybe.
Olive Room (Naboo Swamp, Dagobah) - hmmm - the one of Yoda on the shore where the X-wing is crashed is tempting. So is the one of the Opee Sea Killer pursuing the Gungan Sub... I'd probably go with Dagobah.
Black Room -(Coruscant, the Death Star) the Star Destroyer - not really any question about that, though the Death Star is tempting...
Green Room 1 (Naboo) - the Trade Federation Tank looks very cool. But so do the Naboo fighters launching... I'd also love the Padme / Anakin Waterfalls scene as a possibility, or the two of them at the balcony before their first kiss. These choices fall into 2 very distinctly different emotional exposition categories, huh?
Green Room 2 (Kashyyyk, Yavin, Endor) - let's see if they do a panorama for Kashyyyk in Episode 3. That might rock. The Imperial base with AT-AT on Endor looks good. So would the Yavin Temples with X-wings and Y-wings taking off. As a matter of fact, I think I'd dig the starfighters best, against the green treetops. That'd look cool!
Blue Room (Kamino) - though not Kamino, the Opee and Sub could work nice here, as could Jango Fett standing in front of the row of Clones. An outside shot of Tipocca City, Kamino would rock though. I didn't see that one in their AOTC assortment yet.
I bet they can do any scene you want - as they have the licensing rights to Star Wars.
Is this a crazy idea or what? Are you guys going to buy any? Which ones? For what rooms in your house?
