Indie electro-rock collective Two Door Cinema Club were the recent guests for an installment of The Recording Academy's 5 Questions With … series. Hosted at The Recording Academy's headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., the band discussed topics including their songwriting process, music education, social media, and their debut album, Tourist History.
"You've got to believe you're a good band," said vocalist/guitarist Alex Trimble. "If you don't believe in yourself, no one else is going to. You need to have that belief that you're going to do something big."

(enfuvirtide) for Injection
FUZEON (enfuvirtide) is an inhibitor of the fusion of HIV-1 with CD4 cells. Enfuvirtide is a linear 36-amino acid synthetic peptide with the N-terminus acetylated and the C-terminus is a carboxamide. It is composed of naturally occurring L-amino acid residues.
Enfuvirtide is a white to off-white amorphous solid. It has negligible solubility in pure water and the solubility increases in aqueous buffers (pH 7.5) to 85-142 g/100 mL. The empirical formula of enfuvirtide is C204H301N51O64, and the molecular weight is 4492. It has the following primary amino acid sequence:
CH3CO-Tyr-Thr-Ser-Leu-Ile-His-Ser-Leu-Ile-Glu-Glu-Ser-Gln-Asn-Gln-Gln-Glu-Lys-Asn-Glu-Gln-Glu-Leu-Leu-Glu-Leu-Asp-Lys-Trp-Ala-Ser-Leu-Trp-Asn-Trp-Phe-NH2 and the following structural formula:
The drug product, FUZEON (enfuvirtide) for injection, is a white to off-white, sterile, lyophilized powder. Each single-use vial contains 108 mg of enfuvirtide for the delivery of 90 mg. Prior to subcutaneous administration, the contents of the vial are reconstituted with 1 mL of Sterile Water for Injection to provide the delivery of 1 mL of the solution. Each 1 mL of the reconstituted solution contains approximately 90 mg of enfuvirtide with approximate amounts of the following excipients: 22.55 mg of mannitol, 2.39 mg of sodium carbonate (anhydrous), and sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid for pH adjustment as needed. The reconstituted solution has an approximate pH of 9.0.
What are the possible side effects of enfuvirtide (Fuzeon)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: skin rash or hives; fever with vomiting; blood in your urine; difficulty breathing; fainting; swelling of your feet, face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using enfuvirtide and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- fever, chills, chest congestion, cough with yellow or green mucus, stabbing chest pain, wheezing, feeling short of breath;
- signs of a new infection such as sore throat, flu symptoms, swollen glands, easy bruising or bleeding (bleeding...

WSJ: Heard on the Street weighs in on China's murky copper market.
Reuters: South Korea's much-hyped household debt relief program, a key policy pledge from new President Park Geun-hye, launched today with far less money than planned. Meanwhile, Breaking views columnist John Foley argues that China's shadow bank attack curbs symptoms but not the cause.
FT.com: Good news for Poland's cash-strapped government on Friday: PKN Orlen, the state-controlled refiner, is to start paying dividends again after a five-year hiatus. Analysts at Societe Generale recommends defensive strategies in emerging markets.

Family: Bovidae, Cattle, Goats, and Sheep view all from this family
Description A northern sheep with large horns that grow continuously through life. Coat color is usually uniform white; the subspecies O. d. stonei from Yukon and British Columbia is silvery gray with a white muzzle, leg trimmings, and rump patch. Male is larger than female, with larger horns.
Dimensions 1.3-1.8m, 7-12cm, 73-110kg; / 1.3-1.6m, 7-9cm, 46-50kg
Similar Species Horns are a bit smaller than in the Bighorn Sheep, and more widely flaring. Winter coat is much thicker.
Breeding Breeding season is November and December, and a single lamb is born in May after 171-day gestation period, on high, precipitous cliffs. Lambs weigh 3-4kg at birth, are precocial, and follow their mother the first day. They are weaned at 3-5 months, and weigh 30kg by 9 months.
Habitat Alpine & subalpine habitats
Range Western Canada, Alaska
Discussion Gregarious, but males and females come together only during the rut. Males fight for access to females using the huge horns to ram each other. Feeds on grasses and low shrubs. Typically migrates between summer and winter ranges in its rugged mountain habitat.

There, somebody may as well be the first to say it.
(although, somehow I feel I'm not the first)
I'll second that one Caesar.
For those that don't know who she is or what she looks like (first of all you're missing out) here she is.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
Really though, I like her singing on their songs.
Yeah, she's attractive and all but I dig her with that group. But when I see them on TV I see Fergie , 2 other dudes, and that 1 creepy Michael Jackson looking dude.
And really, I do enjoy many of their songs.
But whenever I see or hear them (but I prefer to see them ) I focus on that Sexy Thang Ms. Fergie. And her cool moooooooves.
But really, what's up with that group ? Unless my history lessons were innacurate, she was a FAN of the group already in place, she met them somehow, and they asked her to join up.
COME ON NOW, don't tell me those guys didn't hire her to get some more exposure for their music.
I'd give her one!
Cracking set of knockers, and a great arse! What more could you want!?
Seriously though, I do like the BEP. "Let's Get It Started" was probably my second best record of 2004 next to "Call On Me" by Eric Prydz. Although I much prefer "Let's Get Retarded" from the album!
"Giggety giggety!"
Jek Porky 2008
There's other people in Black Eyed Peas?
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.
I think its kinda like Motley Crue, they didn't get Vince because of his voice they hired him because he could get chicks! Actually I don't think that at all, she has a great voice and just happens to be easy on the eyes!Originally Posted by Caesar
Thanks for the link Jim Jam but what's up with the Death Shield Orbs she's wearing in that photo ?
As John Bender said to Brian in The Breakfast Club.... its for better hallway vision!Originally Posted by Caesar
Yeah Fergie is awesome. To me there is alot of similarity to her and Gwen Stefani. Not looks, but notice how Gwen was always the main focus of attention in No Doubt. Fergie is the same way in the BEP. She is a sex symbol, someone who can get the devotion of young men and more fans...that way there is more money from album sales. A smart move to say the least.
However I agree with Caesar. She can sing and dance, so that makes her even better. I also enjoy their music.
"You know I love the guy but I swear he writes like freaking Yoda."-Dean Winchester
R12:2-Be Transformed
I'll 2nd that Jango. Yea, Fergie is smokin' . And she sure does steal my attention in their videos. But as you pointed out, the groups music, as a whole is still great, besides Fergie. We need alot more melodic hip hop in the world today.Originally Posted by JangoFett96
No matter how I die, even if there is a suicide note; it was murder. Cheers!

Focus on Funds
Senior Loan ETF Ranks Grow to Four As First Trust Adds a Twist
As we've noted previously on this blog, investors spent much of the last few months girding for interest rate increases -- increases that are still nowhere in sight. They've done this by plowing a considerable amount of money into short-duration bond funds and, just as noticeably, senior loan funds.
The number of ETF options in the niche of senior loans rose to four today with the launch of First Trust Senior Loan ETF (FTSL), which becomes the second actively managed senior loan ETF on the market. Senior loans are a sort of cousin to high-yield bonds that are relatively high on the capital structure and promise some insulation in case interest rates rise.
The $3.7 billion PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio (BKLN) has been one of the biggest selling ETFs in the entire market this year. Others in this area include Highland/iBoxx Senior Loan ETF (SNLN) and the other actively managed option, SPDR Blackstone/GSO Senior Loan ETF (SRLN).
It will be worth watching how the actively managed funds perform versus the passive variants, and in turn how both groups fare versus closed-end funds, which enjoy the advantage of using leverage (and the risk that leverage entails if and when things turn south).
Leverage is one reason my print Barron's column a few weeks back advised investors to look to CEFs like Nuveen Floating Rate Income Opportunity fund (JRO) and BlackRock Floating Rate Income Trust (BGT) for an edge in what has become a very hot market.

For millennia, women have left their mark on the world, at times changing the course of history and at other times influencing small but significant spheres of life. Only in the past century, however, have concerted efforts been made to represent women's contributions more fully in history books. Consequently, changes in status for many women in modern timesthe right to own property, to vote, and to choose their own careersmay obscure the accomplishments made by women of earlier eras. In selecting 300 influential women, Encyclopædia Britannica has included both contemporary women who are changing today's world and those whose contributions have endured through the ages.
Some, though they lived centuries ago, are still alive in popular culture; music and poetry by the Roman Catholic abbess Hildegard can be heard in contemporary recordings, and Murasaki Shikibu's The Tale of Genji, one of the greatest works of Japanese literature, continues to inspire new translations. Many women overcame the oppression of their surroundings through determination and ingenuity; Harriet Tubman, for example, escaped slavery and risked her life helping others to freedom as a conductor on the Underground Railroad. Other women grew up in privileged surroundings; the philosopher and mathematician Hypatia and the historian Ban Zhao were born to families that permitted the education of girls in an era when females were rarely even taught to read.
Not all the women represented here changed the world for the better. Filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl produced propaganda films that glorified Adolf Hitler's brutal Third Reich. Jiang Qing, who fought bitterly to advance her own political powers during China's Cultural Revolution, caused great suffering.
Some, such as Boudicca, who led a bloody rebellion against the Romans, were warriors. Others advocated peace: Bertha, baroness von Suttner, influenced the creation of the Nobel Peace Prize that would eventually be won by many women, including Wangari Maathai and Mother Teresa. Like Mother Teresa, many of these women were driven by religious conviction. Khadijah's belief in her husband Muhammad's revelations helped lay the foundation of Islam. Joan of Arc's divine inspiration led the French in a decisive victory against the English. Her feats were celebrated by the poet Christine de Pisan, who also penned some of the earliest commentaries on women's roles in society.
We invite you to learn about 300 women who changed the worldreview their accomplishments, locate their birthplaces, and discover the eras in which they lived. Examine topics in women's history, such as feminism and Mother's Day. Explore the particular events that make up the timeline of women's achievements over the course of human history.

The heart is located in the chest cavity, or thorax. It pumps blood from the lungs to the rest of the body.
A heart transplant may be recommended for heart failure caused by:
Heart transplant surgery is not recommended for patients who have:
Heart transplants are the third most common (corneas and kidneys are the most common) transplant operations in the U.S. (over 1,500 cases per year). A healthy heart is obtained from a donor who has suffered brain death but remains on life-support. The healthy heart is transported in a special solution that preserves the organ. While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), an incision is made through the breast bone (sternum). The patient's blood is re-routed through tubes to a heart-lung bypass machine to keep the blood oxygen-rich and circulating. The patient's diseased heart is removed and the donor heart is stitched in place.
Heart transplant prolongs the life of a patient who otherwise would die. About 80% of heart transplants are alive two years after the operation. The main problem, as with other transplants, is graft rejection. If rejection can be controlled, then survival can be increased up to 10 years or more. Immunosuppressive drugs must be taken indefinitely. Relatively normal activities can resume as soon as the patient feels well enough and after consulting with his or her doctor. However, vigorous physical activities should be avoided.
The major problems are the same all major organ transplants face:

When the teaching stories and parables of Jesus were first spoken there were no Christian beliefs and constructs to evaluate them. Thus, this book analytically reexamines those teaching stories and parables as they were initially presented, free of developed constructs and beliefs, to demonstrate their experiential intent. This reexamination unveils a covert direction within those stories and parables that is concealed in full view. Rediscovering and unveiling that direction opens doors to reveal an empirical foundation for living that is available to everyone. In brief, the message of Jesus is examined as it was given.
* * *
The main objective of Experiential Christianity is to illuminate the experiential arm of Christianity, and by doing so redefine its devotional arm. The devotional arm may guide but it takes the experiential arm to confirm. By its nature, experiential Christianity can bypass religious borders as it is not a dogma, theology, or a belief, but a state of experiential being. Hence, can connect with, and be beneficial to, everyone regardless of his or her religious affiliation.
In this reevaluation of Christianity its 'living' essence is revealed. That exposure reveals an experiential pathway that unveils a practical foundation for a moral compass to steer one through the various hazards of daily living. By learning to avoid those hazards your one and only purpose in life is revealed, which is to discover the experiential reality of the statement made by Jesus, that 'God is within you'. Everything else is secondary. Meaning, that experience is primary as it is used to define 'how' one lives, acts, and thinks. Based upon that experience a moral foundation naturally arises providing a cornerstone for ethical stances that cannot be manipulated or twisted by the many and varied seductive 'playthings' engendered by self-interest.
The depth of understanding released by the actual experiential discovery that 'God is within you' changes your life forever: you are truly reborn. However, that experience is not achievable by belief alone. You must be willing to experientially delve into the core of your existence to discover the reality of that statement by Jesus. Meaning, you must experience it and not just believe it. For that journey you will require intellectual knowledge of 'how' all the internal components of your existence function and interrelate. Without that knowledge you would easily become bewildered and distressed by the confusing quantity of ambiguous information that can block your pathway, and in despair claim that experience is impossible. Hence, this book outlines all the 'tools' you need to survive that internal journey and provides a 'map' to begin your search. Using both the 'tools' and 'map' is a personal decision that another cannot make for you. You either do or do not. There is no in-between.
Does a non-material entity, referred
to as God, exist? Yes. Is it possible to logically confirm that assertion?
Yes. Is a personal connection to that entity possible? Absolutely. That
personal connection is not hiding. You are hiding from it. This book provides
all the necessary information to realize that connection. When that realization
is a 'living' reality it transforms belief into actuality, establishing
the cornerstone of an indestructible faith, that underpins every thought
and action in your life. That experience adds experiential authenticity
to your life confirming your eternal career has begun: and that beginning
has no end.

This book contains all essential elements of the academic version but written in an easy to read uncomplicated format, requiring no special or advanced knowledge to understand and assimilate its content.
* * *
Does a non-material entity, referred to as God, exist? Yes. Is it possible to logically confirm that assertion? Yes. Is a personal connection to that entity possible? Absolutely.
A belief that a personal connection to the Source-of-Creation is not possible, because no such entity exists, is itself a belief and that disbelief is an unequivocal obstruction to the connection. The disbelievers create their own barrier but what about believers, as they also appear unable to confirm their belief. Their belief may have validity; however, they attempt to constrain faith within their belief. The containment is an obstacle, potentially preventing the very thing they are attempting to experience.
A personal connection to the Source-of-Existence is not hiding. You are born with all the necessary tools to construct that connection. However, you may never have been afforded the learning opportunity to know how to use those tools appropriately. The intent of this book is to demonstrate their correct use, and provide a map, giving the location of where to initiate your search. Using that directional information is your responsibility.
An intellectual appreciation of that connective process unveils how the 'I', that you refer to yourself as, arises and sets about creating mind 'objects' and patterns that eventually control the very entity that created them. It is insidious entrapment as the assumed independence of the 'I' is a fiction. The 'I' is real as it is one-half of your 'I am', but its independence is fictional. The missing 'am' maintains the artificiality that will plague the remainder of your life. The fictional 'I' deceives itself by not being aware of the prison it has self-created, by that assumed independence, that is maintained by the artificially severed 'am'. Escaping that entrapment is the core of this book.
Reading the information page below, for the bookThe Mind of Consciousness, will provide an insight into this book, The Source-code of Existence, as the latter book is formed from the content of the former book.

There is one question in life that
perpetually confronts everyone? Is there life after death, with the follow
on questions; how is it possible and what survives if anything? The
Mind of Consciousness is a book that logically demonstrates
it is consciousness that contains the potential to survive physical death
and your self-created mind is what actualizes that potential or negates
it. The experiential processes outlined in the book demonstrate the interconnectivity
of consciousness and mind to reveal an empirical foundation for existence.
One of the many reasons for writing this book arose by observing how our present civilization is gradually polarizing itself, establishing isolated exclusivity, containing the potential to destroy in the guise of preserving. The book The Mind of Consciousness was in part written to combat this rise of barricaded isolation, as isolated exclusivity - in all its forms - will undoubtedly have a deleterious, if not destructive, effect upon a potentially progressive civilization. From an individual perspective, this gradual and insidious separation appears impossible to halt, even though most can witness the potential negative results of that self-created isolation. The intent behind the content of the book is to prevent those negative events from occurring.
* * *
This book takes you into the core of your being, turning it inside out, exposing who and what you are by revealing a self-created shadow-world controlling your life without you being aware that control exists.

10 facts on youth and road safety
September 2012
D. Mohan
Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death worldwide among young people aged 10-24 years. Each year nearly 400 000 people under 25 die on the world's roads – on average more than 1000 a day.
Most of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries and among vulnerable road users – pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and those using public transport.
This fact file looks at the factors that contribute to road traffic injuries among young people and what measures can be taken to prevent these injuries.

These are not a simple thing to interface too, and an arduino is simply not fast enough.But don't let that stop you having a go
And can the arduino read data from an external data source (there isn't enough to ram to store one frame on an arduino) and output the 24bit of colour data (or even 1bit) in 1 instruction clock?

Career Summary
Cary worked at Oracle Corporation from 1989 through 1999. In the early 1990s, he created Oracle's OFA Standard, which became the default configuration standard for Oracle software installations worldwide. Many of the SQL scripts he distributed throughout his Oracle career (called "Oracle APS") are still in use today. At Oracle, he accumulated various honors including Oracle Consulting's "Consultant of the Year" award. He visited hundreds of clients on performance and architectural projects and spoke to thousands of architects, DBAs, and developers in courses, seminars, and user groups. He was a founding member of the Massive Open Systems Environment Standards group, where he worked directly with Oracle Development and Marketing to help shape features that Oracle would release in versions 7 through 11. When he departed Oracle in 1999, he was a Vice President in charge of 85 performance consultants and a 15-person service line group that constructed system architecture and system management services for Oracle Consulting practices worldwide. In 1999, he co-founded a company called Hotsos. In April 2008, Cary severed his partnership with Hotsos to begin a new company called Method R Corporation. Today, Cary is runs Method R and works as a performance specialist for Kerry Osborne's Accenture Enkitec Group.
In the early 2000s, Cary pioneered the idea that a full and unambiguous account of an Oracle session's end-user response time (called a profile) could be obtained from Oracle extended SQL trace data. The motive and means for obtaining this information helped to revolutionize the way Oracle performance analysts work. To explain the process, he wrote Optimizing Oracle Performance with Jeff Holt, which earned Oracle Magazine's 2004 Author of the Year award. He led the design and development of the Hotsos Profiler software package, which automates the most difficult part of implementing Method R for Oracle applications. He created and taught courses and seminars to Oracle practitioners at events all over the world. He co-founded the Oak Table Network, a loose association of like-minded people who make their livings from their expertise with the Oracle database engine and their skill at handling performance issues. In 2007, Oracle Corporation granted him the status of Oracle ACE Director. In 2010, he was honored with the Oracle Development Tools User Group "Editor's Choice" 2010 award for his paper, "Thinking Clearly about Performance." This paper was also featured in both ACM Queue and Communications of the ACM magazines. In 2011, he published the book The Method R Guide to Mastering Oracle Trace Data.
During production of Optimizing Oracle Performance, Cary established and proved the idea that the location of the "knee" in an M/M/m queueing system's response time curve depends only upon the system's number of parallel service channels and is in fact independent of the arrival rate and service rate. This result makes it possible to plan computer capacity requirements with much simpler models than practitioners had tried to use in the past.

The Most Important Things You Need to Know about Oracle
Cary Millsap has been a performance specialist and business leader in the Oracle ecosystem since 1989. In the years since, he has helped convert a lot of catastrophes into successes, and he has traveled with most of the best Oracle experts in the world. In this presentation intended for both technical and non-technical audience members, Cary will distill the most important lessons he has learned and illustrate those lessons with stories from his career.
Oceans, Islands, and Rivers: the mistake everyone always makes with trace files
When you execute a business task on a computer system, you create an experience. ...An experience between you and the machine. The duration of this experience is called response time. A sequence diagram helps you understand how that response time was consumed. A profile is a useful aggregation of the sequence diagram. A performance analyst looks at your time consumptions to determine whether it is possible to reduce the response time of the experience. ...And, if so, then by how much. The richest and easiest diagnostic information to obtain in this whole technology stack is available from the Oracle Database tier. ...Oracle's extended SQL trace data. But in almost 100% of first tries with using Oracle extended SQL trace data, people make a data collection mistake that complicates their analysis. This is the story of that mistake.
Selected Cases in Software Performance
In this session, Cary Millsap speaks about performance topics from his experiences, on topics like these:
- Just STOP. The fastest way to do anything is to find a way not to do it at all. It's a fun way of expressing Rule One of system optimization: filter early. This segment provides an interesting example of how you an application developer can filter even earlier than you might have thought, by redesigning a feature just ever so slightly.
- "Bind Variables" are not the Solution. Everybody knows the famous advice about using bind variables. But, as it turns out, it's not really the right advice. Well, maybe "you should use bind variables" is the truth, but it's not the whole truth. This segment explains why.
- How an Expensive Hardware Upgrade Can Make Your Application Run Slower. It's the weirdest thing: you've spent the whole weekend (and bales of cash) upgrading your slow CPUs to faster ones, and now your system is slower than it was before. It happens more often than you'd think. Nobody expects it, but it's actually easy to understand how it happens, and you can know beforehand whether you're vulnerable.
My Whole System is Slow. Now What?
Your system is slow, and your whole business is suffering. If you can't find it and fix it by Friday, then there's not going to be a Monday. This horrific situation for a business is a tremendous opportunity for a performance specialist. So, where to begin? Step One in a situation like this is to discover what that problem is that's causing so much pain, right? Wrong. It's tempting to believe that there's a single problem lurking inside your system that's slowing everybody down, but the real world almost never works like that. Your most important first step is probably counterintuitive unless you've fixed systems like this a lot of times before. In this session, I'll explain what this first step is and why it's so vital that you get it right.
Learning about Life through Business and Software, a non-technical keynote
I run a software business, I help my wife raise three children, and I like to think. I especially like to think in metaphors—to learn in one area and then apply that knowledge in another area that seems completely unrelated. Raising children and running a business put everything in my mind to use; in fact, the jobs push me beyond my own capacity sometimes. In this talk, I'll share some of the ideas that I've learned about raising a family from running my business, and vice versa. I'll talk about why thinking clearly is more important than the right answer, how testing in schools should be more like good software testing, and what I've learned about the pursuit of happiness.
Thinking Clearly About Performance
Creating high-performance as an attribute of complex software is extremely difficult business for developers, technology administrators, architects, system analysts, and project managers. However, by understanding some fundamental principles, performance problem solving and prevention can be made far simpler and more reliable. This paper describes those principles, linking them together in a coherent journey covering the goals, the terms, the tools, and the decisions that you need to maximize your application's chance of having a long, productive, high-performance life. Examples in this paper touch upon Oracle experiences, but the scope of the paper is not restricted to Oracle products.
This paper was honored with the Oracle Development Tools User Group "Editor's Choice" 2010 award and is featured in ACM Queue and Communications of the ACM magazines.
Open Discussion about Oracle Performance
With over 22 years of Oracle experience—and conversations with thousands of Oracle practitioners throughout the world—to draw from, Cary Millsap hosts open discussion with small or large groups to answer questions and explore aspects of Oracle performance that you may never have considered.
Performance is a Feature: Here is the Specification
To many software developers, designers, and architects "performance" is a side-effect, ...an afterthought of designing and building proper features like "book an order" or "look up a book by author." But great performance at scale doesn't happen by accident. The first step is to know what performance is: it is the answer to the question, "What have people been experiencing?" Knowing what people experience when they use your software is possible only if you treat performance as a proper feature, a feature you analyze, design, build, test, and maintain. This session explains the steps that will get you started.
Instrumentation: Why You Should Bother
In our increasingly virtualized environments, it is ever more difficult to diagnose application defects—especially performance defects that affect response time or throughput expectations. Runtime diagnosis of defects can be an unbearably complicated problem to solve once the application is sealed up and put into production use. But having excellent runtime diagnostics is surprisingly easy if you design the diagnostic features into the application from its inception, as it is being grown, like you would with any other desired application feature.
Oracle's Extended SQL Trace Data for Developers
Oracle's extended SQL trace data stream contains a linear sequential record of every database call and every operating system call that the Oracle kernel executes in response to the code that you write. The trace file contains timings, which enable you to precisely measure how long your code takes to run and why. The detailed information about individual dbcalls and syscalls is vital to building scalable applications (as well as troubleshooting them in production). The information in there is a gold mine, and some of it is available nowhere else.
For Developers: Making Friends with the Oracle Database
To many application developers, an Oracle database is just a "data store" with an API that they call when they need to persist an object. It's a helpful abstraction for managing functional complexity, but it can lead to some horrible performance problems. You can avoid those problems by better understanding what's going on inside the Oracle kernel. It's not that hard to do. The key is understanding how to measure how your code spends time inside Oracle. Once you've done that, your response time profile leads you exactly to your performance improvement opportunities.
My Case for Agile Methods
Among many of my Oracle database administrator (DBA) friends, "agile" is widely regarded as a dirty word, a synonym for "sloppy." However, adopting the principles of the Agile Manifesto (specifically, the implementation of the Agile Manifesto called Extreme Programming, or XP) has radically improved the commercial and technical success of projects that I've worked on. Agile principles have enriched my entire life—not just professionally, but personally. The contradiction between the typical DBA's perception of "agile" and my own is profound. This paper describes my experiences with Agile values and my implementation of them. I describe the circumstances that have led me to believe passionately that it's XP that will best assure the success of my projects. I describe what has worked for me and why, and I describe what hasn't worked and why.
Millsap's Grand Unified Theory of "Tuning"
First there were the v$ and x$ views. And tkprof. Then came bstat/estat, Statspack, ASH, ADDM, OEM, and plenty of third-party tools that look kind of like those tools. There are loads of OS tools too that have been around a long time, like top and sar and strace and pstack and gprof. And then there are the methods: OPIM, and YAPP, and Method R to name three. In this presentation, Cary Millsap gives a brief tour of the moving parts and reveals his own perspective about how all these parts should fit together.
Improving Developer and Analyst Productivity with Method R Software Tools
As the lead designer and developer (as well as a devoted user) of Method R software tools, Cary Millsap is uniquely positioned to describe how to use those tools to improve developer and analyst productivity in the quest for response time and throughput optimization. In this session, Cary introduces audiences to zero-click tracing with the Method R Trace extension for Oracle SQL Developer, response time profiling with the Method R Profiler, and managing trace files with Method R Tools.
Messed-Up Apps: a Study of Performance Antipatterns
Sometimes, performance is not a matter of how you write your code; sometimes, your performance is doomed from the very design specification. In this session, Cary Millsap presents examples of applications that perform poorly and the patterns that result in reliably poor performance, no matter what development language you're using.
Optimizing for Oracle: When? How?
If premature performance optimization is a root of evil—and Cary Millsap believes it is—then developers face a difficult question: When and how are you supposed to optimize? If you optimize prematurely, you face the consequences of investing resources that are easy to prove after the fact to have been wasted. If you optimize too late, you create serious jeopardy for your customers and yourself as your applications fail to scale up to the user loads they are required to support. In this session, Cary offers a lifeline: a process and a set of guidelines that will allow you to reduce your risk of post-production performance crises, while not requiring you to overinvest into performance apprehensions that may never materialize.
Oracle Operational Timing Data
The most important statistics for the Oracle performance analyst are the Oracle kernel's timing statistics. Yet, an amazing number of misunderstandings about Oracle timing statistics prevail in the market today. As a result, analysts can fail to see potential performance improvements that are right under their noses! This paper explains how the Oracle kernel measures and reports its own timings. It explores some of the ironies of digital clocks that might have diminished your confidence in Oracle's timings. It explains how to get past these ironies to prove more assertions about Oracle performance than you can today. Finally, it discusses why the V$ data that you probably trust today can easily lead you down a rat-hole. The result is an ability to improve system performance beyond the levels at which you might be stuck today.
What the Oracle Timed Events Mean
Many Oracle Database administrators and application developers are familiar with what Oracle calls its "wait interface." What people tend not to understand so well is that each timed event reported by the "Oracle wait interface" actually maps to one or more operating system calls (syscalls). By consulting your operating system documentation for these syscalls, you can earn a better understanding of what the Oracle Database does than if you just read your Oracle documentation. In this presentation, Cary Millsap shows how to use commands like truss to learn which syscall(s) each Oracle timed event maps to, and he discusses the meanings of the most common events you'll encounter.
How to Make Application Performance Easy to Diagnose
Diagnostic data collection can be the most difficult step in any system performance improvement project. But the collection of good diagnostic data doesn't need to be difficult. The determining feature is the application itself. The key to making application performance easy to diagnose lies in the hands of the application developer. This session shows how a few simple development decisions can make application performance easy to diagnose.
Why You Can't See Your Real Performance Problems
Reflecting across nearly 20 years of solving Oracle performance problems, Cary Millsap has recognized a single pattern of behavior that is the dominant reason for failure in all the projects he has witnessed. In almost every case he has seen, failures in diagnosing and repairing performance problems have been caused by unrecognized skew in diagnostic data. This presentation shows several examples that illustrate why skew is such a pervasive problem for performance analysts.
Repairing Oracle Performance Problems
In 2003, Cary Millsap and Jeff Holt published a new method for diagnosing and repairing Oracle system performance problems (Optimizing Oracle Performance: O'Reilly). Users of what the book calls Method R (the 'R' stands for "Response time") routinely fix performance problems that had evaded repair (and sometimes even detection!) by other methods for months or more. This session demonstrates how Method R works and how people use it to diagnose and repair system performance problems in perfect alignment with business priorities. The case study uses Oracle diagnostic data specifically to show how even very difficult performance problems relent quickly and permanently to the method.
Preventing Oracle Performance Problems
In 2003, Cary Millsap and Jeff Holt published a new method for diagnosing and repairing Oracle system performance problems (Optimizing Oracle Performance: O'Reilly). After solving the important diagnostic problem, their research turned to the subject of preventing such problems from occurring in the first place. The ultimate goal is a method through which you can always understand what your next performance problem will be so that you can diagnose and repair the problem before it ever actualizes as an end-user experience. This session summarizes the progress of their research so far.
Measure Once, Cut Twice
"Measure Twice, Cut Once" is a reminder that careful planning yields better gratification than going too quickly into operations that can't be undone. Sometimes, however, it's better to Measure Once, Cut Twice. It's one of the secrets behind how carpenters hang square cabinets in not-so-square kitchens. And it's one of the secrets behind how developers write applications that are easy to fix when they cause performance problems in production use. The key is to know which details you can plan for directly, and which details you simply can't know and therefore have to defend yourself against. In this session, Cary will discuss some aspects of software development where flexible design is more important than detailed planning, using woodworking analogies for inspiration. He will describe some particular flexibilities that your software needs, and he'll describe how to create them.
Accountability for System Performance (introducing Six Sigma quality in software performance management)
Businesses are commonly organized in such a manner that the departments held accountable for making application systems fast and efficient don't have enough leverage to get the job done. The result is painful. Users suffer from slow applications, and system costs spiral while organizations expend energy deflecting blame. This session describes how the right measurements and a few process changes can produce a culture of performance accountability across departments, resulting in faster, cheaper, more efficient systems.

I know I'm a little late on this, but I figure most will have already read through the throngs of other best of '12 posts by now increasing the chances that people will actually read this. Below you will find (in no particular order because that's impossible) 12 tasty tracks from last year that made me smile, take my pants off, dance and close my eyes whilst nodding my head incessantly.
12. U-Turn (one half of indie disco outfit Oliver) released this exceptionally catchy masterpiece as a free download early last year. It set off 2 pants off dance offs and provided the theme song to one of the best weekends I've ever had.
11. Cassian can do no wrong in my book. He's both an amazing producer and DJ. His take on Snake Charmer by Bag Raiders is proof of us his uncanny ability to make it pop without going too far. This got a lot of plays during the first half the year.
10. She came through and slayed it when she played here this past summer making for one of my favorite sets from last year. I don't know if I was more intoxicated by the tunes she played or her beautiful face and presence in the booth. Anyway, this collabo between Ms Lunoe and fellow Aussie Touch Sensitive was my summer anthem.
9. This gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it. Had it on repeat for like a week.
8.Hands down my favorite track off their stellar Flo Jam EP and one of 2 tracks from this British duo that made my list. That vocal gets me everytime.
7. 2012 saw a HUGE amount of producers utilizing vocals from 90s r&b hits as the focal point for their tracks. A formula that worked especially well in this case.
6. The French Express camp can do no wrong and anyone who's read my posts over the past year should know how strongly I feel about that fact. Head honcho Perseus started the year off way strong with the release of this balmy beauty.
5. The original version of this track is also beautiful. It was extremely difficult for me to choose between the 2.
4. And we find ourselves back in Australia again with David Augusts take on the summer anthem "With You" by Flight Facilities. August adds a deep dark driving baseline and puts emphasis on the chorus which increases the sentiment of the original.
3. Of course the original was great as well, but I don't think anyone can touch this remix from Swedish production duo Adriatique. Absolutely stunning. These guys made huge strides last year with some amazing releases and I expect more of the same from them this year.
2. Duke Dumont's The Giver. Not enough good things can be said about the original. It was a festival staple and appeared on everyone's (including my) mixtapes for about 2 months leading up to it's release. People were starting to get over it until the remix EP was released featuring the version you will hear below from up and coming Belgian producer Locked Groove. It instilled new life in and provided a take that honestly competes with the original. I actually like it better.
1.Mexicali production duo Climbers rank among my favorite in the game right now and this is the track that cemented that fact. They started off the year with releases on LA based label Culprit, Nervous subsidiary "Nurvous" and followed them up with this amazing release on Get Physical. Lets not overlook the extensive remix duty they put in as well. I expect even bigger things from them this year.
Stay tuned!! Big things coming this year. Cheers:)

One of the best illustrations of an overinflated ego is in the story about the woodpecker that perched itself on a mighty oak tree, reared back and took a whack just as a bolt of lightning hit the trunk. The tree split from top to bottom and splinters flew in every direction. The woodpecker took off in a flash but came back a few minutes later with several of his buddies and said: "Look there what I did."
All to often we, like that little woodpecker, take credit for things that are truly acts of God.
Most Owen countians are familiar with the names of Claxon Ridge, Pink Ridge, Stewart Ridge, Buffalo Ridge, Riddle's Ridge, Divided Ridge, Fortner Ridge, Ball Ridge, Harris Ridge, Bethel Ridge and Long Ridge. Some of these hilltops took on the names of the families who first settled along their crests, while the origin of the names of others may have been lost over the years.
It's raining, again. We've had about three and a half inches over the past several days.
The sun finally came out late Saturday afternoon and it was nice on Sunday afternoon but the rain has come back.
I suddenly realized as the sun shone on my back yard that the forsythia hadn't bloomed. There are tiny leaves appearing but no buds. Not a single bush in my large yard has bloomed.
"To look at the (news) paper is to raise a seashell to one's ear and to be overwhelmed by the roar of humanity."
These words by Swiss author Alain de Botton described the undeniable influence a newspaper has upon its readers.
Newspapers have been a part of our daily life for centuries. They were not only an avenue of advertisement and of distributing information to the public, but were also a means of providing entertainment through satire or storytelling.
Remember I told you I lost the last paragraph of Wanda's news last week? Well, it popped up when I opened the computer on Tuesday morning. I don't know where it went, nor how it came back but here it is.
Wanda went to the wedding of Jessie and Doug Luscher's daughter Sandi. They were old friends of Wanda and Danny's when they went to Camp Pleasant Church years ago.
"Dillender hauled the mail in a covered freight wagon. On the trip to Eagle Station, he carried produce, poultry, animal skins, rabbits (in season) and sundry other farm products to the L & N depot for shipment to Louisville.
On the return trip, he brought the day's mail, staple and sundry stock for the stores and huge baskets of fresh bread, stacked in unwrapped loaves, a luxury directly related to Moxley's close proximity to the railroad."
This has been a very disjointed morning.
I received Wanda's news she had sent last night. I called Fay and talked to her and was getting ready to copy off Wanda's email when she called to ask if I had received it.
We talked a while and I went to the sun room to get a note I had made about a lady who had called in mid-week. I talked to Wanda and looked but the scrap of paper I had put Rosemary "Hawkins" Gaines' name on was missing.
Author Marlene Parkin once wrote: "Quilts are masterpieces of the heart and windows into women's history. They possess a magic that will never die, for all of life's hopes and fears, loves and hates have been sewn into them."
Quilts are timeless. Crafted from bits and pieces of shirts, coats, overalls and dresses, they serve as palpable memories of the past.
The origin of quilting is somewhat uncertain although the oldest example of patchwork is an Egyptian queen's canopy dated around 960 B.C.
I must first begin with a clarification in last week's column. I sent it in and then remembered I had skipped a paragraph of Wanda's news. I sent Molly an email asking her to insert said paragraph, proceeded to type it as Wanda had sent it using "I" instead of Wanda's name. I haven't been in Georgetown in 10 years.
The sun came out, the snow disappeared and we got a lot done this week.
John's back improved and he called to say we could work on shelving on Wednesday.
Teri came over to do her laundry and she helped too.
The shelves are finished and loaded. They took everything I needed to store in plastic boxes with room to spare. The saw horses are gone, along with John's tools.
The big room in the basement is rearranged and back in living order.

Reprising their roles as immigrant sisters Basha and Drusha, Hope College theatre faculty member Jean Bahle and theatre chair Daina Robins will be offering two performances of Bahle's "America Herself" on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 26-27, in the DeWitt Center studio theatre.
The performance on Thursday, Sept. 26, will be at 9 p.m. to accommodate those who wish to attend both the college's Visiting Writers Series event earlier in the evening and "America Herself." The Friday, Sept. 27, performance will be at 8 p.m.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
The two-person play began as a conversation four years ago, when Bahle and Robins discovered commonalities in an immigrant heritage and shared memories of growing up with sisters. Last fall, Fred Sebulske, managing director of Actors' Theatre in Grand Rapids, launched a New Plays project offering local playwrights John Rich and Jean Bahle a year-long process to develop their work. Staged readings and audience feedback throughout the year culminated in final productions earlier this spring at Actors' Theatre.
"America Herself" mixes story theatre and absurdist humor, and explores inherited ideas of what it means to belong to an American culture. With the play still a work-in-progress, Bahle is happy to have another opportunity to perform the piece in front of an audience. Minor revisions have made it into this version as Bahle and Robins rehearse under Sebulske's direction.
Seating is open, and there will be a brief talk- back session following each performance. The studio theatre is on the ground level of the DeWitt Center, which is located on Columbia Avenue at 12th Street.
The production is co-sponsored by the college's Cultural Affairs Committee, Department of English of Theatre and Women's Studies Program.

I know it's technically 2012, but I got the new lego catalog today. Great looking star wars sets..... but PRICY!
55 dollars for the new TIE Fighter. It looks great, but that's too much. Too expensive to buy multiple sets.
Y-Wing looks great and reasonable at $50, as does the new X-Wing, however the 60 dollar price tag is too high.
The last new set is Anakins Clone war jedi fighter. It's just okay.

By The Tennessean, Nashville
Welcome to the next tier, Nashville. The long-anticipated Music City Center has opened and takes a place alongside the other "houses" – from the Ryman Auditorium to Jubilee Hall to the Capitol perched on a hill – that make this city unique.
And thanks to Music City Center, millions more people will get to know Nashville firsthand. Massive conventions and trade shows that formerly had to pass up this special destination en route to Atlanta, New Orleans or Orlando now have a big venue to match the city's big heart.
Music City Center's numbers are staggering: 1.2 million square feet of public space, a building reaching 150 feet tall, covering six city blocks and, yes, a price tag of $585 million – worth every penny.
If Music City Center were to be measured only by sheer boost of out-of-town visitors (829,000 future hotel room nights have already been booked; add those to the 625,000 rooms booked for Gaylord Opryland during the same period), that alone brings Nashville into a new, if competitive, metropolitan club.
It may be unfamiliar ground for traditionalists, but it promises the best possible future for Nashville. Without economic drivers like Gaylord Opryland and now Music City Center, Nashville's priceless treasures with origins in the 19th and 20th centuries probably would languish in the 21st.
Nashville is growing, fast. Undoubtedly, there are easier ways to appeal to out-of-town visitors for short-term gains. But Nashville's leaders have signaled our city wants to do this the right way.
All of these changes will aid Nashvillians in their daily lives as well as make the city more attractive to guests. Music City Center will be the hub of what is new about Nashville while keeping the past alive.

|Worldwide Flyfishing Discussion Talk flyfishing with members around the world!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Big K1
For river fishing I use tips. If I have to be deeper than 6' I leave it for the gear chuckers. I find tips to be a pleasure to cast. I use 35'- 45' heads including 15' tips in various densities.
|Willie Gunn
In defence of the full sinking line.
Full sinkers are easier to speycast than sunktips, you just roll them to the surface then start the cast. With sinktips there is little control of the lift.
To control the speed you simply alter tha angle of the cast, to fish the fly slowly throw a long line with a narrow angle the quickly before the line settles thrrow in a big memd feeding more line in if you wish. Sunk lines fisher slower than sunk tips as the deeper you sink the slowert the current.
A sunk line gets down quickly compared with sunk tips
|Sharp Steelie
Just concuring with some of the comments above - in my opinion,
creative mending is extremely important when fly fishing for
Steelhead and Salmon. I stick with floating lines and sinktips and
am always ready to switch as the conditions warrant. Even a
very sloppy cast can quickly become effective with the proper
mending - I stay away from full sinking lines - not enough control
of the fly.
Denny Rickards in Fly-Fishing Stillwaters says, "The purpose of a fly is to match or simulate a particular insect (food source). the retrieve brings life to the fly, but the fly line is the vehicle that makes it happen. From an angling viewpoint, the purpose of any fly line is to hold your fly at the depth fish are feeding for as long as possible." "When trout feed on ascending insects, a floating or sinktip line is a good choice. A full-sinking line is a better choice, however, when fish are feeding on leeches, scuds, dragonfly nymphs or baitfish. These food sources are found either moving horizontally, and on or near bottom where they are most effectively imitated with retrieves possible only with full-sinking lines."
For steelhead, I use floating or sinktip lines, almost exclusively. The one exception might be suspended fish near tidewater where full-sink lines can be an advantage. That would be true for suspended salmon, as well.
solo- well designed sinktips do not hinge either. That has been a problem in the past when there was too big a change in density between the floating and sink parts of the line or tip. For example, if you have a T14 tip attached to eight weight belly, you will get a bad hinge. Attached to 12 Wt or larger belly it works fine. Actually, I think Ed Ward makes it work attached to 11 Wt for some of the lighter rods like the Sage 7136.
|I'm echoing some comments already made but I prefer the sink tip for the ability to mend. My brother prefers the full sink for the added depth.
I prefer sinktips for two reasons:
1. Increased visibility and ability to judge the direction of the line especially in moving water. I have a really tough time with this with full sinking lines. Dark line going straight down right off the tip of the rod makes it hard to judge what the fly is doing. I've found that the increased visibility of the line greatly increases my ability to fish it effectively.
2. More snags with full sinking lines. If your fishing the bottom of the water column I've found that full sinking lines run along the bottom dragging the fly through rocks and other structure. With tips you get a downward angle from rod tip to fly but the floating section keeps it off the bottom reducing the number of hang ups. I also have found that you get more of a belly with sinking lines because the whole line wants to sink but the rod is pulling up creating the belly. Sink tips give you more of a straight line diagnol from fly to rod increasing ability to feel strikes.
Hope that helps,
How true that is! Just thinking about the sinktip line has pretty much guaranteed I'll be buying one in a few weeks.
|Each line has a purpose and I will never get rid of the tons I have bought over the years. Most of my work is done with tips now, but I am ready if I should ever happen to find myself on a lake. At 150 hours plus a year on the water, full sink lines are just not practical. With tips, I can still work the upper ten feet of the water column. The question is, will you be fishing lakes more or the river? If both, then buy both. A guy can pick apart a situation making it more complex than it has to be because he is worried about wasting cash. Just forget about it and buy everything you see. You know your going to end up owning it eventually. Your next question will be which brand. Buy them all and go fish. Hurry up, your burning daylight.
As I do more research on this topic, I've found the following advantages of sink tips over full sinking lines:
*More flexible (with interchangeable tips)
*Easier to cast (or at least to pick up off the water)
*Easier to see a strike when drifting a nymph (can see end of floating part of line move)
*Easier to mend
*Can be used to make a large floating fly dive and return to the surface
On the other hand, the full sinking line seems to have an advantage in three areas:
*Gets down deeper for a given line type (i.e., type 6 full sink goes deeper than type 6 sink tip)
*Doesn't hinge when casting
*Makes a straighter line from rod tip to fish, making it easier to feel strikes and make hook ups
Any other advantages/disadvantages to add to this list?
|Nooksack Mac
|The first sinking lines to hit the market were full-sinkers, such as the Sci. Anglers Wet Cel. A lot of us tried them in stream fishing, and immediately discovered that typical stream currents pulled an increasingly large belly into the line, which was hard to control by mending, since it was all underwater. I suspect that the first floating belly/sinking tip line was spliced and tried immediately. That floating belly makes it so much easier to mend, and therefore, to control the fly's behavior underwater. Sinking lines are at their best in lakes and saltwater (even though ocean currents can present their own problems).
I understand the flexibility advantage . . . but just in terms of fishing effectiveness do you think the sink tip fishes better than a full sink (or does it make any difference at all)?
|I prefer sink tips, but Im fishing the river for Steelhead 99% of the time. These situations require you to change depth all the time and changing a tip is a snap. Instead of having four lines with different sink rates, you have one with tips. Lake fishing might be another story, but if and when I do that, Im throwing a dry line. Fishing Chronomids twenty feet down is a whole other ballgame.
Full sinking versus sink tip line
For years I've used only floating and full sinking lines (various sink rates), never a sink tip line. I'm about to buy some new flylines and I've started to wonder whether I should consider a sink tip line instead of (or along with) a fulll sinking line. Does anyone have any thoughts on the merits of full sinking lines versus sink tips? Having never used the sink tip lines, I'm curious whether there are any fishing situations where I'd find sink tips more effective than full sinkers.
(I have used interchangeable tips recently on a spey rod, but I'm thinking here of regular sinktip lines without interchangeable tips. The advantage of interchangeable tips is obvious--increased flexibility--but I'm curious about fishing effectiveness, not flexibility, since I find changing spools no harder than changing tips.)

Last year people were blaming TT's knee injury from JPP's leg whip on the strength&conditioning coaches.
well wasnt part of the reason Fassel got fired was bc of constant injuries? remember how TC said how the proper work ethic and attitude would lead to less injuries or something?
he said Giants staff, not training staff, so maybe he meant coaches included...
you gotta admit, this is not a coincidence, its a trend. we constantly get ravaged by injuries every year. and no, its not the same for every team. last year we had the most injuries to starters/key depth over the past decade aside from the 0-16 Lions and a ****ty Bills team. This year feels even worse, so many starters/key depth players are hurt...its frustrating, and I know its a little silly to blame anyone for injuries, but TC did say we'd have less injuries under his watch and it just hasnt happened
Here's a current list of injuries by team:
The Bengals and Colts are worse off than us going by how many they have on IR. Pats list is inflated because they have guys like Ballard and Shancoe listed on there.

Vera's dad, a much respected high school math teacher, died when she was 10 years old. Vera was raised by her widowed mother who was a woman of very strong faith in God and strong in her character. Vera played the cello and had scholarship opportunities to go to college but decided to go in a different direction. Vera became a home maker with her husband of 70 years Leo Savoie. She worked very hard to have a solid Christian home. Vera asked her mom to come live with her and her family so she could take care of her. Vera's mom moved from Beaumont to Houston and lived with Vera and her family till God called her to be with Him. Though money was always tight Vera sent her children to Christian schools. Vera and family lived in Beaumont Texas, Houston Texas, Livingston Texas, and Janesville Wisconsin.
Vera is survived by daughter Shirley Savoie, and son Fred Savoie, and many grandchildren and great grandchildren. We will all miss you Mom

Detectives investigating transient's injuries
Victim suffered life-threatening injuries
SPOKANE, Wash. - For the third time in a month, a transient has been assaulted, with Tuesday's early morning assault on the lower South Hill leaving the victim with life-threatening injuries.
The victim was found near the intersection of 7th and Bernard Tuesday morning seriously beaten with a skull fracture. He was listed as a patient at a nearby detox center and, according to detectives, around 3 a.m. he left the center, walked about a block and set down his gear.
Three hours later someone driving by the parking lot saw the man bleeding from the head and called 9-1-1.
"At this point we know he's been assaulted, we're not sure about a weapon or anything like that, he's got life-threatening injuries, he's being treated right now and major crimes detectives are on scene collecting evidence," Spokane Police Sergeant Brad Hallock said.
The man is not expected to survive his injuries.
Detectives don't think the man was attacked as part of a robbery because they found his backpack and identification nearby. Investigators say they are pretty sure the man, who was possibly still intoxicated, might have fell down on his own.
"Some of the injuries are more severe than simply tripping and falling, but again that's part of our investigation, to determine if that's in fact a possibility. Right now it doesn't look like it," Spokane Police Commander Brad Arleth said.
Paramedics transported the victim to Deaconess Medical Center for treatment of his injuries. Unfortunately the victim never regained consciousness, giving detectives very little to go on.
"Pretty much we know where he was found, that he has some pretty severe injuries that required surgery to try to save his life, and we're doing [some] follow up in the area to see what we can find so we can retrace his path from the overnight hours," Arleth said.
Detectives would also like to talk to any early morning commuters who may have driven through the area of 7th and Washington and saw something suspicious.
If you have any information on this case you can share you're asked to call 242-TIPS.
