U.S. carriers not named Sprint were delighted to be able to suddenly claim they all had 4G networks (who needs to invest in advanced infrastructure when you can just change the name?), but the move was largely panned by mobile industry pundits, and outside of the U.S. the term 4G has frequently been reserved for LTE and WiMax, including Australia and much of Europe. For those of you wondering, the ITU is not a regulatory body - they rely on external industry groups like the IEEE to set and regulate standards. Thus, their recommendation, while a boon to gimmicky carrier marketing in the United States, carries no real weight with other government bodies. An analogy would be UNICEF, which has set minimum guidelines for safe drinking water in developing countries, but has no say over how the FDA sets their own standards on drinking water safety.
Trying to shove the U.S./ITU definition down the throat of another country's regulatory commission seems like a losing strategy, and frankly it's just odd that Apple would even bother; the new iPad is the bestselling tablet in the world – complaints about how well it's selling seem to center around whether its record-breaking pace is record-breaking-enough, so why get into a legal battle over it?
When this issue first arose we speculated that Apple might be loathe to give up the marketing power of the term "4G", and at this point we feel that must be the driving force, since the 4G designation in this case has no real importance beyond marketing. Perhaps Apple is concerned about the impact of upcoming Android tablets that would be compatible with Australia's LTE networks? Given that Apple also let AT&T change the HSPA+ iPhone 4S's network labels to include "4G", it seems that Apple has become a bit overly sensitive on the subject of late.

What is the xmax of the transducer?
For the prizes, you should give away something other than the kits for the contest - the winners will have already practiced on those and so will probably already have them. Just saying.
No public wish lists :(

Conservation biologists have become interested in how anthropogenic noise may impact behavior and physiology, which in turn may impact population dynamics, evolution of behavior, and community structure. This project is investigating how nightingales and other species of European birds respond to anthropogenic noise. The investigation focuses on how noise might change the acoustic characteristics of songs. Read more about Avian Bioacoustics - Urban noise and bird song.

This is Pam, Flicka and Lucas's Mum.........(http://www.dogster.com/dogs/655533)
It is with great sadness I need to pass on the news that Elizabeth passed away on Saturday 27th October.
She will have a Mass said and a Cremation on 10th November.
Her husband Mark who was her wonderful soul-mate and friend phoned me this morning with this sad news.
Elizabeth had the most amazing Love and Faith. Both kept her steadfast to the very end.
Her dogs , Troy her Guiding Dog and Hudson and her cat Angel Soleil were her passions and her loves as was her music.
She and a friend as singers brought beauty and light to many with their wonderful voices.
Mark.... Elizabeth's husband will carry on loving and caring for Troy , Hudson and Angel Soleil.
There is nothing that makes it easy for those who continue to love her except perhaps the knowledge that she is secure in her Faith that they will meet again in the fullness of time.
Mark.... many will hold you close and be there for you as well.... and Troy and Hudson and Angel Soleil will help you with their Love.
Sail on Fair Winds and Calm Seas Elizabeth . You were and always will be much loved.
I(Pam) will continue to look in to these Diaries and pass on your love and words...
Hello! Thanks for thinking of me. Just want you to know mom is ill with cancer. Have done chemo and radiation and now only healing will come from a healing miracle of prayer. Mom has great faith in God and knows that whatever His will for her will be the best. If it is to get well and remain here on earth then that would be great, but if it is her time to transition than that's what God feels will be best! Mom and I have loved working together and I'm still there for her. Mom has lived a very happy life and thanks to all the people, cats and dogs on dogster have been often reminded how many excellent people and pets live in this world, sharing our planet. I so appreciate all the love and support I have been given on dogster and have loved every minute of my working guiding life. I'll always have a home with my family.
I wish each of you a joyous beautiful, life filled with wonderful surprises, adventures and every good blessing!
Troy, still loving life and the every days on the shores of Lake Michigan!
Hello! Mom and Dad and I went to dinner with a couple of friends Friday night. The gentleman has a guide dog, another yellow labrador just like me! His guide dog is just starting out, he is 3 years old and a serious worker. But out of his harness he knows how to have fun too. We labradors know when we can party and we certainly hope there is tasty food at the party! You know lab stomachs!
I was very glad to see my young guide dog friend working out in the field. It's been quite a while since I was 3 years old but I like seeing there are young dogs taking up the working torch for their humans. I just wanted to salute all working dogs, no matter what their job, but especially, I'd like to honor young working dogs who have made the commitment to give their lives in the service of another. It's not always easy to choose a working life, there are some sacrifices, but speaking from an old dog's view my rewards have been great. Mom says "thank you" from the human's point of view to all working dogs who are so unselfish in their service.
Although, I gave a salute to working dogs, can't forget pets either. They serve in their way too with lots of love for their people! Wishing all of you joy!
Troy, honoring dogs who serve, on the Shores of Lake Michigan!

Interview with John Spiers, NexGen Storage
Yesterday, Louisville, Colorado-based NexGen Storage (www.nexgenstorage.com) announced a Series A round of funding for its efforts to develop new, solid state-based storage products. We caught up with John Spiers, CEO of the firm, to get some more insight into the firm and its plans.
Congrats on funding! What's the idea behind NexGen Storage?
John Spiers: The company was founded by the former founders of LeftHand Networks. All of the technical founders of LeftHand are involved in NexGen Storage. What we have is a vision of a next generation architecture, which leverages solid state storage technology. Our belief is that all storage systems now are built around rotating disks, and are architected for those disks. However, the dynamics of solid state changes how people are using storage, and changes their capabilities and architecture. We believe we will set a new standard for solid state storage-based SAN technology.
When did solid state technology finally get to the point where it made sense, from a capability and cost perspective, for you to start the company?
John Spiers: It was really about a year ago, when we started working with several solid state suppliers, when we started to do work with them, and even fix their problems. The technology has matured enough that with the right software layers, you can develop enterprise class, and very reliable storage solutions, which can take advantage of that technology.
How difficult was it for you to find funding for a hardware startup?
John Spiers: Certainly, having the reputation as the founders of LeftHand--with LeftHand just being acquired by HP--was a very good position. We were self funded for a year, and are looking to minimize our dilution going forward. We raised a small amount of capital to get the product to market, with getting our first product out to market this year and getting some customer validation. We'll raise a larger round later to ramp up our sales, once we do that.
You mentioned you are hiring locally. What kinds of positions are you hiring?
John Spiers: We're hiring predominately engineers. Specifically, we've already hired some senior architects and coders. We're now looking for people in test engineering.
What's the big goal for the next few months?
John Spiers: The top goal is get our product into customer's hands for validation, and generate our first sales this year.

About meI am an OSU grad, a Mormon, a government worker, and a total geek. I only review books I've read recently, I design t-shirts, and I am addicted to Netflix instant and to tagging author genders on LT. And I love reading, woot.
About my libraryMy library (which contains only books I physically own - no wishlist items, no freebie downloads sitting on my hard drive) is growing as I move books from my mom's house to my apartment. I own many, many books, and as they move here, they get added. I will also be adding lots that I buy, because I am an addict. If there were a Netflix for books I would have, like, the ten-at-a-time subscription. ^_^

Nicholas Sparks finds atmosphere key to romance
By Gina Keating
LOS ANGELES (Reuters Life!) - Best-selling author Nicholas Sparks, who has seen three of his romantic novels turned into films, celebrates as the third, "Nights in Rodanthe", hits theaters and this month and a fourth, "Dear John" goes into production in South Carolina in October.
"Nights in Rodanthe", a mid-life love story of two strangers who become stranded together at a seaside inn during a storm, stars Richard Gere and Diane Lane and opens September 26.
Sparks, 42, talked to Reuters about mid-career drift, and not letting things get too personal in his famously sentimental tales of ordinary love.
Q: Why do you set your novels in the Southern United States?
A: "A love story comes down to atmosphere, and it's a place I can always find the atmosphere that I need for a particular setting or scene. One of the things I write are very universal stories, which means these are stories that could happen to anyone and they are also individuals you can feel like you know. They're not movie stars or CEOs or astronauts -- they are just ordinary people. Everybody knows someone who lives in a small town still ... and the South is very good for that.
Q: The outer banks of South Carolina have the highest density of shipwrecks in the world. Did that have anything to do with why you set "Nights in Rodanthe" -- about two people whose lives are essentially shipwrecked -- there?
A: "Absolutely because when you get two wounded people and they are withdrawing and you keep them in their normal lives they will continue to withdraw. That's just reality. In this isolated place, they are forced to interact if they have any interaction at all."
Q: Was there a particular incident or person or inspiration for "Nights in Rodanthe"? Continued...

As you might have heard, I have taken over the Blueprint project along with Joshua Clayton as of September 2nd. This came after months during which I lapsed on my involvement with the project; I began with my contribution of a completely realigned typography.css, then began contributing small bits of advice as I developed Construct, but finally slowed to a halt as I was forced to focus all of my energy on my demanding dayjob(s). When I realized that Blueprint had gone dormant, however, I decided to do everything I could to revive it & realize a stable, 1.0 release. Taking over the project in September was an important step toward that goal, but to be honest, I struggled with the Github learning curve, as well as understanding all the things Olav had done with the core since I had stopped paying attention months ago. I spent quite a while just getting "up to speed."
I'm happy to say, though, that I'm no longer struggling to catch up with Blueprint (much thanks to Joshua for that). Over the past couple weeks, I've been squashing bugs, fixing mistakes, implementing new features, and committing all my changes like a good project leader. Over the weekend I did a number of improvements to the project, which included fixing oversights in the core files, resolving a boatload of bugs, and bringing back a number of plugins that had fallen by the wayside since version 0.6. There's still a lot of work to be done to get Blueprint to a proper 1.0 release, but I made enough progress with the framework to say that it has now reached a new milestone and I'm calling that milestone 0.8.
I'm not going to give a feature-by-feature breakdown of what makes 0.8 different from 0.7.1, but suffice it to say that 0.8 represents my vision of Blueprint being just as flexible and intuitive to use as it is easy. I'm focusing on the novice designer that will work with the framework "out of the box," and I'm doing my best to make sure that they have as many tools at their disposable as possible while also preventing them from running into unexpected problems that don't make sense. Case in point: I changed the rule for "
p img" to "
p img.left," you can view my reasoning in the related discussion thread. On the plugins, I've brought back some plugins like RTL, Buttons, and Link Icons, and since this release I've also released a new plugin that I developed on my own called Tabs.
All that being said, Blueprint is a ton of work. I love the project and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that everyone from expert to beginner is using it in the next year, but I think you can tell that it's more work than what a couple of people can handle. I haven't even had time to work on Construct in the past few months, which I still consider to be extremely important to the goals of Blueprint as a framework. So I'm looking for more people to get involved with the development of Blueprint. I posted a call for contribution on the mailing list, and I'm posting that again here:
At this point I need the Blueprint community to help out, so that we can ensure that 0.8 is really solid & ready-to-go, and get this project moving closer to version 1.0. Here's what Blueprint needs:
- A real & well-maintained browser compatibility list, preferably based on testing done in the OS & correct browser for each case, rather than just based on browsershots.org. I would like to put this on a page in the Wiki as well as in the project source. People will be more willing to use Blueprint when they have a compatibility list they can refer to and show within their organizations. This should either be tackled by one person or multiple people; if you are interested in being responsible for all testing or just one browser/platform, let me know. Blueprint tests
- A run through of all the bugs in Lighthouse. I've resolved or closed as many bugs as I could, and what's left is either bugs that are more than a quick fix, or bugs that lack examples and are therefore hard to verify. If you have submitted a bug in the past 6 months, please go to the bug tracker and see if it's been resolved. If not, it probably needs looking at again. Blueprint bugs
- New tutorials & a new cheat-sheet; this is really just a matter of making sure the current tutorials are up-to-date, and if not, take a stab at fixing that. Blueprint tutorials
- A better homepage. Back in the day, Ludwig Wendzich & Olav Bjorkoy were working on this mockup. This is how jQuery's download section works, and I would like to be able to offer this for Blueprint too. Does anyone here know what needs to be done to replicate this for Blueprint? Also, if you know of anyone who would be willing to sponsor a server for hosting a tool like this, let me know. I imagine it would be a bit heavier than the simple one-pager I have on a basic server right now.
- Finally, I'm trying to build more community features for Blueprint. For now, if you use Facebook, you can add yourself as a fan on the Blueprint page. And if you use LinkedIn, you can join the professional Blueprint group.
Join up and contribute!
Well, you've got the whole story now. If you want to be a part of the best CSS framework in the world, let me know! There's lots to do and lots more to accomplish :)

Narnia Fan left a comment about Disney Adventures Magazine which has an interview with Tobey. The magazine has hit the stores in May 1. If you go to this site, you will see a picture of it and look for "Spyin' on Spidey!"
Marvel.com was live on the scene at the Kaufman Theater in Queens for the gala New York premiere of Spider-Man 3! It was all about glitz, glamor and stars with Tobey Maguire, Topher Grace, Kirsten Dunst, James Cromwell, Sam Raimi and many more!
Watch the clip HERE!
Another excellent interview of Tobey can be found HERE. Tobey talks about filming the third Spidey movie, his co-stars, his young fans and his family. Definitely worth the read that interview!

Few things in life are certain, but this is: You'll never hear the Muppets swear.
When late Muppet co-creator Jim Henson was alive, he and puppeteer Frank Oz amused themselves and crew members by ad-libbing during rehearsals and between takes on TV and film shoots.
"I can't be specific, but I can tell you that Frank has a naughty sense of humor," Henson's son Brian said during a recent visit to Chicago. "My dad had a really naughty sense of humor. So they were goofing around when they knew the cameras weren't rolling."
That's how emotionally realistic characters were and still are born.
"When you watch Miss Piggy and Kermit and Fozzie and Gonzo and all of them, they're very deep characters and you get the sense that they're very deep," Brian said. "And part of the way you develop that is by messing around in an adult way."
Then there's "Stuffed and Unstrung," an adult-themed, puppet-starring comedy and musical extravaganza from Henson Alternative. Born almost by accident in 2005, "Stuffed" (under another title) debuted publicly the next year and opens locally Tuesday for a short run during the TBS Just for Laughs Chicago comedy festival.
Featuring a gaggle of 90 expensive and carefully maintained puppets dubbed "Miskreants" (only a fraction of which are used in any given performance), six rotating improviser-puppeteers (of 20 or so on staff), music, a puppet wrangler and a host (Patrick Bristow), "Stuffed" is largely composed of set musical numbers and improvised comedic scenes created by riffing on audience suggestions. Sometimes those suggestions are, as Brian might put it, "naughty." Sometimes they're not.
Perhaps most intriguingly, while their hollowed-out playmates appear on the ends of arms and huge video screens, Brian and his cohorts work in full view of the audience. No blocking, no stopping. And if things go awry, no hiding.

Dakota Fanning
Getting into some shady business, Dakota Fanning and Jesse Eisenberg star in the latest trailer for "Night Moves."
Starring alongside a skeezy Peter Sarsgaard, the indie film follows an eco-terrorist group with a plan to destroy a dam in Oregon.
Always an avid fan of style, Dakota Fanning was in the house at the Proenza Schouler runway presentation at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week Fall 2014 yesterday (February 12).
The "I Am Sam" starlet kept it simple in a cream shift dress with a long black coat and black gladiator sandals as she sat front row for the exciting event at the Gavin Brown Gallery.
Keeping up with the latest trends, Dakota Fanning and Anna Wintour were on hand for the Rodarte show at New York Fashion Week on Tuesday (February 11).
Lovely in a pale peach frock and a white shawl, the "Runaways" star chatted up the equally stylish magazine editor as they waited for the show to begin.
Finally closing in on the minute details, Verisimilitude and Lola Pictures announced today (February 5) that Gerardo Naranjo's upcoming English-spoken debut film is set up with a full cast and financial planning.
Dakota Fanning is slated to headline as the movie's star, alongside "Harry Potter II" star, Frank Dillaine.
They're both big fashion fans, so it's no wonder Lily Collins and Dakota Fanning both showed up for the Chanel "Metiers d'Art" show in Dallas, Texas last night (December 10).
The English "Mirror Mirror" starlet posed in front of some gorgeous vintage cars, sporting a sparkly getup and loose-and-lovely hairdo as she greeted the press.
Taking care of some business to start her week, Dakota Fanning was out and about on the streets of Manhattan on Monday (November 11).
Bundled up against the chilly fall air, the "Breaking Dawn" babe chatted away on her phone as she strolled the busy sidewalks.
No, she's not appearing on a new season of "Teen Mom." Dakota Fanning's baby bump is for her new movie, "Franny."
Filming in Philadelphia on Tuesday (October 22) with co-star Richard Gere, the 19-year-old actress wore a gray top over her belly with a black jacket and long blue skirt.
Keeping up on all the new looks, Dakota Fanning and her sister Elle Fanning showed up at the Louis Vuitton Fashion Show in Paris, France this morning (October 2).
The stylish sisters both dressed to impress as they worked their mojo for the shutterbugs outside the Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014 event.
Still stealing the show with her natural good looks down in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Dakota Fanning made a flashy appearance at an event for the Rio International Film Festival promoting her film "Night Moves."
Looking like royalty in a brilliant blood-red gown with a flowing train, the "Twilight" temptress wore her signature blonde hair pulled back and short.
Heading to South America for the 15th annual event, Dakota Fanning attended the Rio International Film Festival on Saturday (September 28).
The "Very Good Girls" star looked bright and beautiful in a white sleeveless knee-length dress and pointy red heels as she posed for pics in the sunshine.

Rendering Of Mercedes-AMG GT R GT3 Emerges
A rendering of the roadster variant of the Mercedes-AMG GT R emerged recently, a shown on a report from motorward.com. The rendering allows people to have an idea on how the AMG GT R would look like. While the GT R may be close to becoming a road-friendly GT3 sports car, which means a Mercedes-AMG GT R GT3 may become a possibility in the future. It only takes the car some encouragements to make it come to pass. The livery design of the roadster may be accomplished on the standard model of the GT R using the AMG Performance Studio together with a number of personalization options. A number of… Continue Reading »

Marantz preamp
2 Attachment(s)
Sorry if some of these questions sounds pretty basic, but this is my first attempt at anything involving tubes, so please bear with me.
i've been collecting/butchering old equipment for parts, and i'm just about to start on the Marantz 7 pre. First off, i've got a 6x4 rectifier, and i was wondering if this would be strong enough to supply both channels (models in PSU designer say that it gives up). Also, the transformer i have has a 6.3v tap for the heaters, and i was wondering if it was worth running these at DC, or just leaving them how they are.
Another thing, do i need to include the balance pot, and does the volume pot need to be so large (not so easy to get hold of).
And finally, i believe there are various mods/updates you can do to this circuit, but i can't seem to find any. I did read somewhere that there is an improvement if you run a B+ of 250v to all tubes.
Any help is most appreciated.
My impressions of the 7: phono is not bad at all, weakish bass but some magic in the mids; line is simply not worth building. I think i used 5U4G and regulated the heaters. Better designs are available today.
According to the duncanamps.com database (well worth downloading btw) a 6x4 can handle 70mA at 325V. So I think it would be just cruising along in your application.
In my opinion, it is definitely worth running 12AX7 on DC heaters. Reduces noise and hum by quite a lot. A diode bridge followed by C-R-C filtering will do nicely, adjust the R to get 6.3 V exactly. Also ground one side of the filaments.
You can omit the balance pot if you like just use resistors.
Thanks. I've been fiddling with the
PSU designer and i'm starting to come to grips with it.......
Is the line stage really that bad?
Hi , ive a marantz 7 +9 reissu and the sound not that bad!! fast and dynamic !! solid soundstage !!if u like this type of sound ! the only thing is the phono stage ... not enough gain ! check ur cart . some cart not suitable for this phono amp . hope this help !
Re: Marantz preamp
It's a huge piece of crap, speaking from the experience of owning an original which was then modified all over the place (regs, caps, resistors, topology) before being restored and sold on to a collector.
Yuk! Yuk! Yuk!
The worst aspects of tubiness and poor resolution.
For your time and effort you can do much better. Use another design.
The only reason I'd like to own one today is so that I could sell it on again to another collector for an obscene amount of money.
2 Attachment(s)
Any suggestions then? i like this one because the 12ax7's are pretty easy to get and i have a few here anyway. I want a REALLY good phono stage (but not too complicated). That's my main aim.
i found this on another thread, and you mention having done a phono stage similar. Could i get any more information on that, if possible? Obviously ye olde Marantz 7 is a reviled piece of equipment around here..........
Hmmmm....I probably referred to the output stage I think.
The image you posted is nothing more than an anodefollower, RC coupled into another anode follower, direct coupled into a White cathode follower with NFB applied from output to input.
It may be some linestage but it certainly isn't a phono stage...
Well, i'm aware it isn't a phono stage.........
but it shouldn't be too hard to work an active RIAA eq into the NFB (hopefully). So this should sound ok as line level pre? Sorry, but i have zero experience with tube topologies and sounds.
here's the thread: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showt...t=12ax7+preamp

With the start of the summer transfer window drawing ever closer, the clubs are constantly making moves behind the scenes.
Memphis Depay's move to Manchester United may have been the biggest of the window so far, but the Dutchman's switch from PSV has become a mere subplot in the ever bulging summer transfer narrative.
Radamel Falcao is poised to complete a sensational loan move to Chelsea, while Liverpool star Raheem Sterling is set to leave Anfield. In truth, it's been on the cards ever since his agent gave THAT interview to the Evening Standard.
Elsewhere, it's all about the goalkeeper merry-go-round.
Here's Standard Sport's Tom Collomosse with his take on the Hugo Lloris situation...
Reports in France claim that Manchester United will make an official bid for the Tottenham goalkeeper, while Arsenal are linked with a stunning move for Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
That move for Lloris could be down to stunning £21 million plus David de Gea offer to Real Madrid for Sergio Ramos...
Keeping up so far? Here's the latest!

Very Disapointed
We moved to Pittsburgh from out of state and so about 2 or 3 weeks before making my appointment, I filled out and handed into the office, my paperwork to get my records sent. I made sure to say that I needed to discuss an ongoing condition during my visit and the records from my former Doc would be helpful. When I arrived at my appointment, the office had not even yet sent for my records. The doctor barely discussed my concerns saying that without my records my visit was practically useless. The insinuation was that it was my fault that the records were not yet to the office. The doctor did continue my Rx, and so I chalked it up to a bad day. About a month later, my health insurance decided that they were no longer supporting my brand name Rx and so I needed to get the doctor to switch to another brand or a generic. Okay, these things happen. I brought the letter stating this to the office, let them copy it, and got assurances that the doctor would call in the replacement to my pharmacy. When it was time for my refill, several days, maybe a week later, the pharmacy told me they had never received the new Rx from the doctor. They called over for it and I also stopped by the office. I was told that because they had not gotten my records from my former Doc, the doctor didn't know what to prescribe! Again there was the insinuation that somehow this was my fault that the office didn't have the records from my former Doc. The pharmacy did get an Rx script from him for a replacement brand and I filled it. Now it's a month later and I need to get it refilled, only to learn from my pharmacy, the the replacement Rx was only for one month! They called over to the Doc again and suggested that I again call the office to hurry them along. Is this going to happen every month!?! The bottom line is that I would not recommend the doctor or this office. If I could give negative stars I would.

Terrible service and scheduling
I called around 4:45pm to schedule an appointment and they told me the office is open from 8:30am to 5pm and refuse to talk to me.. Then the next morning I called and the lady told me that they have scheduled two months out even though I explained to them that I have had a condition that has been going on for a month and a half, Maybe I am a new patient and they don't give a sh*t about it. I wouldn't want to wait two months to see a doctor. Also, the scheduling lady was rude, unenthusiastic, and unhelpful. The doctor might be good and caring but certainly not the staff. This comment is NOT directed at the doctor but to its staff.

The Best Doctor I Have Ever Seen
From ease of appointments to the courteous and professional office staff everything about Smithfield Medical is top rate. Dr. Fackovec has always been professional and made accurate diagnosis of our family. He listens, takes his time and lets you know that he really cares. I would not go anywhere else.

>The book is wrong, at least by current versions of Cassandra (I'm >basing that on the quote you pasted, I don't know the context). To be sure that I didn't misunderstand (English is not my mother tongue) here is what the entire "repair paragraph" says ... Basic Maintenance There are a few tasks that you'll need to perform before or after more impactful tasks. For example, it makes sense to take a snapshot only after you've performed a flush. So in this section we look at some of these basic maintenance tasks: repair, snapshot, and cleanup. Repair Running nodetool repair causes Cassandra to execute a major compaction. A Merkle tree of the data on the target node is computed, and the Merkle tree is compared with those of other replicas. This step makes sure that any data that might be out of sync with other nodes isn't forgotten. During a major compaction (see "Compaction" in the Glossary), the server initiates a TreeRequest/TreeReponse conversation to exchange Merkle trees with neighboring nodes. The Merkle tree is a hash representing the data in that column family. If the trees from the different nodes don't match, they have to be reconciled (or "repaired") in order to determine the latest data values they should all be set to. This tree compar- ison validation is the responsibility of the org.apache.cassandra.service. AntiEntropy Service class. AntiEntropyService implements the Singleton pattern and defines the static Differencer class as well, which is used to compare two trees. If it finds any differences, it launches a repair for the ranges that don't agree. So although Cassandra takes care of such matters automatically on occasion, you can run it yourself as well. > >nodetool repair must be scheduled by the operator to run regularly. >The name "repair" is a bit unfortunate; it is not meant to imply that >it only needs to run when something is "wrong". > >-- >/ Peter Schuller >

The Liberal Democratic Party and coalition partner New Komeito agreed Wednesday to halve the subsidy next year for rice farmers cooperating in the government's policy of cutting production of the country's staple food.
Currently, rice farmers get ¥15,000 from the government for every 1,000 sq. meters of rice fields they leave unplanted.
The agreement calls for reducing the amount to ¥7,500. The LDP initially sought a reduction to ¥5,000, and New Komeito to ¥10,000.
Some of the money saved will go toward subsidizing the maintenance of rice paddies.
The administration plans to end the subsidy program and the output reduction policy in fiscal 2018.
The program, introduced in fiscal 2010 when the Democratic Party of Japan was in power, has been criticized for hampering agricultural development.

How Personal is Too Personal on Social Media?
Post by Ray 4 years ago - social media marketing - 2 Comments
On this week's Google+ Tips & Topics Lunch Hangout, we were excited to welcome social media star, Peg Fitzpatrick to our lunch table.
Peg is a perfect guest for a discussion about how to present a personality online.
She's built a huge social media following by being responsive, helpful and authentic.
We feel we know Peg; that if she lived nearby, we'd invite her over for a barbecue.
Because Peg not only represents her own "brand" but also a large company, she's an example of how businesses build better businesses by being social.
Business has always been personal. With the introduction social media technology, companies struggle to what they've always done naturally in their communities.
It's as if businesses suffer from stage fright, intimidated by the technology and sheer size of potential audience.
Instead of acting naturally, every move is self consciously questioned.
G+ Tips & Topics Lunch Hangout
We discussed online privacy issues during the first half of the broadcast. What were some of the misconceptions that exists?
How much personal information is too much information? (TMI)
Finding that balance is a concern for many companies starting on social platforms.
Social Media enables social business
The basics of doing business don't change because you're online.
Being accountable, being honest and having good manners aren't any less important because you're you're not sharing a physical space.
Work the social media space as you would a business networking event and unless you're an ass in real life, you should be fine…
And remember:
1. The internet is public.
Don't post anything you wouldn't want your mother or customer to read.
2. The internet is forever.
You may think no one will find you among the billions online, but the NSA aren't the only ones interested in your personal information.
3. The internet wants to know everything about you.
But your clients don't.
Watch our our thirty minute+ Hangout On Air and let me know your thoughts on the subject.
I've excerpted samples of our conversation below. Just click on the name and it will take to you their portion of the video. I've paraphrased their responses.
If you think you can be online and not be public, you're mistaken. Being professional from day one is important.
We live in a world where we all lead public lives. In a business setting, people want to know the person, not the personal. They want to know the values a person has, the type of interests they have – to know what they have a in common.
There's a changing tide in moralities. Different generations will accept a much different definition of what constitutes too much information.
Some people are their brands, and their branding is about pushing buttons. But you need to be careful. You can't put the genie back in the bottle.
Life is messy – that's life! Our personal lives don't get left at the door. If people only see the amazing stuff, you won't be seen as real. We can't identify with perfection.
Challenge is to be a business and be human. The larger issue is developing trust. To establish trust you have to stand for something and show that through your status updates. Once you establish what you stand for as a brand that will guide your online activities.
The level of personal information you share depends on your company culture…
Having cultures defined and social media policies in place don't negate having fun.
It it's all business all the time, there's no room for social.

President Obama spoke about tonight's meeting with African-American scholar Henry Gates and police officer James Crowley -- but not during it.
Photographers and reporters were allowed to see the three men and Vice President Joe Biden for about a minute as they sipped beers at a table just beside the White House Rose Garden.
Gates and Crowley could be seen conversing. They both wore suits. Obama and Biden went jacket-less. The beers looked to be served in frosted mugs.
Here's our story on the event.
And here's a pool report The Oval filed with his White House colleagues earlier today.
Pool Report 1
July 30
Oval Office
NEWS: Obama says this is not a "beer summit" - "It's a clever term, but this is not a summit, guys."
He said he is "fascinated with the fascination about this evening."
Instead, it's three folks "having a drink at the end of the day," and giving themselves a chance to "listen to each other." The goal is to lower the temperature on an event that has become "so hyped and so symbolic." Try to reduce the "anger and hyperbole," and promote "self-reflection."
Check transcript for exact quotes.
ALSO: Obama declined to predict tomorrow's GDP numbers - "I don't have a crystal ball" - but said they will probably show another contraction for the second quarter. That said, Obama also cited signs that the economy is turning around, such as with housing prices and banking activity. "All of this is a sign that we have stepped away from the precipice," Obama said, and there are no longer fears of another Great Depression.
Pool was ushered into the Oval Office about 3:45 p.m. for statements by Obama and President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo of the Philippines. The two leaders sat on flanking chairs in front of the fireplace.
Obama praised Arroyo for her efforts to fight terrorism, and her help in dealing with the problems of Burma and North Korea. He noted the Philippines is hosting a conference next year on nuclear non-proliferation. "We're going to have a busy agenda together," Obama said.
He said the Philippines is a small country, but, to use a boxing metaphor, it "punches above its weight in the international arena."
Arroyo thanked the U.S. for its "soft power" in helping the Philippines build roads, schools, and bridges. She said her country backs U.S. efforts in Burma and North Korea. Praised Obama's plans to battle global warming, which threatens "disaster for our country." She thanked Obama for his "new engagement in our part of the world."
A Philippine journalist asked each leader his or her impression of the other. Arroyo called Obama "cordial, warm, and welcoming."
Obama joked, "I'm sure she thinks I'm much younger looking than she expected."
Session lasted about 8 minutes.
Again, check quotes against the transcript.

Just 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth off Interstate 20, Fossil Rim offers the opportunity to drive through and visit with hundreds of rare and endangered animals from around the world that roam free on 1,500 acres of unspoiled countryside. It's open rain or shine, from 9 a.m. until two hours before sunset every day except Thanksgiving and Christmas. After you see all the wildlife in a habitat that mirrors its African terrain and climate, you can make a 20-minute drive over to Dinosaur Valley Park in Glen Rose and see where animals from another time left their footprints in the bed of the Paluxy River. Or:
OK, so controversy over the government actions against the Branch Davidians is fading from the mainstream. Reports clearing the feds of the most egregious accusations have surfaced, and civil trials have fizzled like wet fireworks. The fact remains, the siege of Mt. Carmel was a definitive moment in U.S. history, a debate flash point over freedom of religion and the responsibilities and limits of government. The place is beautiful and eerie, and the characters who flock there are intriguing and relevant. There is something pure about going to a place that has no signposts off the highway, no official markers or souvenir shop. It's simply the Place where Something Happened, undistilled and unvarnished. The real pain in the ass is knowing how to get there. Here are directions: Take Interstate 35 to North Loop 340 and turn eastward. Continue to FM 2491 and turn left onto it. Follow it to Double E Ranch Road. Turn left onto Double E Ranch Road. Follow it approximately 1/4 mile to the entrance of Mt. Carmel on the right. You'll see a rebuilt church and a small building where David Koresh's mother sometimes lurks.
At this time last year, Hard Rock Caf was little more than a calcified rock-and-roll museum with a stage that was just for show (or actually, not for shows). Now, thanks to a new general manager and an alliance with The Merge (93.3-FM), Hard Rock is offering shows several nights a week. Good show--finally.
A secret, a jewel, a hidden paradise: Around Lakeland and Ferguson Road in East Dallas, downhill from the grand manses of Forest Hills, Little Forest Hills is a quirky, delightful architectural mlange that looks as if it were spun of Berkeley, Seaside, Charlevoix, and an all-cousin East Texas trailer park. Built long ago as summer cottages for city dwellers, the idiosyncratic little hand-built houses were all throwaways 15 years ago. Now hip people are coming in and giving many of them a very cool flair to be found nowhere else in the city. Two shady creeks and even a little-known summer camp hidden in the bottom of a hollow make this a refuge where you can forget you even know about the rest of the city.
There are few distractions at this small, cozy coffee shop in Arlington. With more than 30 coffee flavors to choose from, this is the place to relax and read about the world's myriad tragedies. The coffee stand also includes sandwiches, salads, and cakes. And there's a computer nearby for Web surfing. Coffee is ground and brewed there and then.
You don't have to be You Know Who to walk on water in Fair Park. Two large, plant-inspired sculptures arch, curve, and twist over the still lagoon, creating stairs and walkways for getting a closer look at turtles, water bugs, and the occasional fast food container lurking below the surface. A low tide, shoes with good traction, and a healthy equilibrium is suggested to keep you from getting baptized in the murky waters.
Get real. Unless you're 12-going-on-13, the only place that promises around-the-clock cool is a seat that faces the window unit. But for those who insist on getting out into the summer sun without baking, Arlington's newest water park is hard to beat. Think a day at the beach with a little Disneyland thrown in--or as one comedian put it, you can think of it as a ride on the enema express.

D-K-L's Raw Review
The opening promo was very good and a good way to kick off the show. Just the sort of promo you would expect from Orton and Kane and Bearer coming down was good, and this did a lot to develop this feud. Orton seemed a little less afriad than he has been in recent weeks which is good. I liked what both Orton and Bearer had to say, and the RKO on Bearer was awesome. That was a really great move to make this rivalry even more intense and Kane is sure to be fuming, i'm looking forward to what happens from this.
The segments after with Bearer getting taken to the Hospital is a good little idea to put over what Orton just did, and I guess since he's not a wrestler he can get away with being this hurt. Orton leaving is interesting, not sure if he'll stay out, but it means Kane will have to unleash his anger on someone else.
Good win for the Colon Brothers here, seemed like a decent match and it ended in a realistic way. Should be a rematch soon.
This was a great segment, as you know I am really enjoying this feud and this segment was very good to create even more tension between Kofi and Cody. Cody was great here acting like a really controlling heel, and LOL at Cody telling a wrestler not to wrestle. This is getting really interesting and I'm just waiting for Cody to attack Kofi.
This was another very good segment, really enjoyed it. Santino was funny as usual and him saying China instead of Japan was funny, as was him thinking about Melina in the shower. Regal was great too, and I wonder what else he'll be doing on his night in charge.
Kane taking out Cryme Time is cool, I wonder who else he'll be taking his anger out on.
Impressive win for Kelly Kelly, and you managed to continue Melina's problems with Hornswaggle at the same time which is good booking. The aftermath was great and the problems between these two appear to be getting worse.
Another well written promo here. Evolution kinda came off a bit like heels but they can all be like that, and it doesn't really make Regal look very powerful on his night in control looking scared of them, but the match had to be set up and Regal got his authority by making the match. Good segment and the No DQ match should be good.
This was a nice little match, I was expecting The Miz to pick up the win so he and Morrison continue to impress as we approach Backlash, but I guess Kendrick has to look strong as it looks like he'll be in line for a push in the future. Plus London and kendrick get a big win which makes them look like they could retain at Backlash. Nice pre match promo too.
The reaction from the McMahon's was interesting, they look a bit worried but I'm sure they'll find some way of getting involved in the match. JBL's rant was good and it was quite funny what he said about Regal.
The promo to set up the tag match was very good, all three men were right in character and were all entertaining, Dykstra especially was great. Regal setting up the tag match is good to allow him to make a decision, and it gets Finlay on the card again, although I don't like face Finlay and Hornswaggle, guess you need another credible face on the show. The match itself seemed like a great match, perfect ending too and you allowed DiBiase to pick up the big pinfall, and you continued the Cena/Dykstra rivalry by having them brawl through the crowd. Santino distracting Finlay means Finlay doesn't lose too much credibility too.
Next two segments were good too, Natalya's wasn't anything special but got her some mic time, and I liked her comment about Victoria thinking life was going to be easy. Santino was great again, he's been on a lot but he's hilarious so it doesn't matter too much, and him calling the shillelagh a rattle was funny lol.
Wow, Kane! Thought he was going to destroy Santino here but the DQ is better for Santino. The attack from Orton after was quite surprising, I suspected he might possibly come back though after saying he was leaving earlier. It's good for Orton to get one up on Kane again, but I think he may regret it next week.
The main event was really well done, this is a huge win for the McMahon's and the dirty win is just what you'd expect in a No DQ match. The use of the brass knucks was good and i liked how you had Batista knocked off the apron. Batista to turn on Evolution? I know I predicted it for Mania but it could happen again now, but I still think they'll stay together. HHH could be mad at Batista too, so it'll be good to see where this goes. The Coast to Coast is always great to see and it leaves the McMahon's looking good to close the show.
Very entertaining show once again mate, good job.
New Be the Booker Thread up now!

#1 Jul 17, 2007
I will believe it when I see it. All this talk and know action. If this trade where to go down Lakers would have the best end of the deal. The Celtics would loose to the lakers. Lakers would have a 3 year run. End of story!!!
#2 Jul 17, 2007
i'm with you daniel. all fans (especially lakers fans) are sick and tired of rumors and trade speculations. people need to simply shut up, make the deal happen and then it should be open for discussion!!!
#3 Jul 17, 2007
unfortanatly the big ticket doesnt want to come here, or at least thats what I just heard, glen taylor is willing but KG wants to stay.
#4 Jul 17, 2007
i don't know, until i hear KG actually say he wants to stay instead of management, i won't believe it. it's just more hype or a means for minnesota to attract better deals. the twolves pretty much know he'll be gone after this year and i believe they'll make a move so that they get something for him, instead of him just leaving them with nothing.
#5 Jul 17, 2007
But if im glen taylor and KG tells me he wants to stay put when your giving him a chance to go to LA where he has a home to play with kobe, and if kg has not yet demanded to be traded by now I dont see him walking, if that is true of course, because why doesnt taylor just say not enough I want more for KG, cause if im the lakers I dont want to deal for a guy who doesnt want to come here, I dont know but your right you cant take anything you hear and believe it these days.
#6 Jul 17, 2007
god, i hope KG isn't just happy with making $20mill a year with some shitty franchise. what a waste!
#7 Jul 17, 2007
hes probably gonna be one of those players that will regret it later in his career, I will give him this hes as loyal as they come, but on the bad side that just proves he doesnt want to win a championship that badly.

Wonder if Hi would feel that way today?
#10 Oct 27, 2012
My sources tell me that he wants to go to LA and win a championship but a deal must be worked out.
LA is already over the cap but they don't care, they will pay the penalties if they had to. If this deal goes thru there is no stopping the Lakers. I think he is a bit better than Peace.
#11 Oct 27, 2012
Wow this was a long time ago, KG still a timberwolfe, well he made his decision got a championship out of it, could have had more but I think a lot had to do with kobe not being happy in LA at the time, he wanted out, and I think kobe might have blown his opportunity to get KG here, but we know it worked out in the end we got pau.
Waterloo, Canada
#12 Oct 27, 2012
lol yea, thought I would throw some old school at ya. You are right that's the days when Kobe almost departed. I was thinking , how many so called veteran stars are still with their original teams these days besides Wade, Kobe,Pierce, and Dirk

Nov 27 (Reuters) - Stock futures pointed to a lower opening for Canada's main stock index on Friday as oil prices fell on disappointing economic data from China and supply concerns.
December futures on the S&P TSX index were down 0.08 percent at 7:10 a.m. ET.
Producer prices and raw materials prices data for October are due at 08:30 a.m. ET
Canada's main stock index rose marginally on Thursday, helped by gains for some heavyweight bank stocks ahead of their earnings next week and rising materials stocks, while energy names slipped in line with a fall in crude oil prices.

By Melanie Casey
Fort Meade Public Affairs
FORT MEADE, Md. - Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. George W. Casey Jr. spent the better part of Jan. 22 at Fort Meade, Md., learning more about the capabilities, manning and training cycles of the Asymmetric Warfare Group and First Army Division East.
In the Asymmetric Warfare Action Center, along with about 30 members of the unit, Casey listened as S-3 operations officer Lt. Col. Perry Beissel described the makeup, methodology and scope of one of the Army's newest units.
AWG is a special mission unit that works to identify critical asymmetric threats and enemy and friendly vulnerabilities through global first-hand observations, said Don Cicotte, the unit's strategic communications officer. Stood up in 2006, the unit currently has about 350 members, all of whom are hand-selected.
After Beissel's briefing, Casey headed next door to Snowden Hall, where he received detailed presentations about what AWG does and how it does it.
Lt. Col. Ed Lee, commander of Able Squadron, discussed some of the unit's current operations (such as in Afghanistan and Iraq, where it maintains a presence year-round, he said), and Baker Squadron Commander Lt. Col. Rich Thewes explained how AWG provides technical expertise and experience to commanders and soldiers on the ground.
Casey noted that the Army needs to learn to think differently and transform how it trains. "We count on you to push the envelope," he told AWG Commander Col. Robert Shaw, Command Sgt. Maj. Ray Devens and other unit members gathered in the briefing room.
Casey also received briefings about the unit's selection and training process and had an opportunity to see one of AWG's success stories - the Fast Obscurant Grenade - at work.
The device was developed a few years ago as a way to evade sniper fire by releasing a thick plume of white smoke, which effectively creates concealment so Soldiers can escape safely. In conjunction with other organizations, members of the AWG helped develop the FOG and integrate it on the battlefield within about six months, Shaw said.
Casey then walked to the unit's Resource Operation Center, where Soldiers, family and friends were gathered for an awards ceremony. Casey pinned on Master Sgt. Michael Carreker's Combat Action Badge and Sgt. Maj. Sean Bradley's Bronze Star Medal, and presented Defense of Freedom Medals (the civilian equivalent to the Purple Heart) to AWG operational specialist contractors Raymond Brooks, Ronald Hinson and Danny Smith.
Later, he addressed the soldiers, contractors and staff of the AWG. "I've been remiss in taking so long to get up here and see what you are doing," he said. "I knew you were doing great things ... what you are doing is exactly what we need to do."
AWG "continuously identifies and assesses capability gaps and introduces new technologies to the battlefield to counter asymmetric threats," Cicotte said. "It configures itself for the next battlefield now, so that we as an Army are better equipped to mitigate future threats."
"It was great to hear the Chief of Staff of the Army expecting AWG to be at the forefront of Army transformation," Devens said. "And charge our unit with enhancing the combat effectiveness of our forces preparing for and engaging in asymmetric threats around the world."
A key element of the Army's institutional transformation is the rapid development and procurement of capabilities, Casey added. "When you are a Soldier deployed and have a need for something ... you want it on that tour right now. [AWG has helped give] us that capability."
Casey ended his morning at the AWG by paying tribute to the unit's Soldiers, thanking them for their versatility and flexibility in moving things forward. "You are cutting edge, and that's exactly what we need."
Casey's next stop during his day at Fort Meade was the Freedom Inn dining facility, where he took a break for lunch with Shaw and Devens along with Installation Commander Col. Daniel L. Thomas, First Army Division East Commander Maj. Gen. Mick Bednarek and others.
Next on Casey's agenda Thursday was a visit to First Army Division East headquarters in Pershing Hall. While there, Casey first met privately with Bednarek in his office, then the two generals entered the Bradley conference room for a briefing and update about the unit. Several Division East leaders, including Chief of Staff Col. Mark Fields and Sgt. Maj. Kenneth Rush, were also on hand.
First Army Division East has more than 6,000 Soldiers with a footprint in 27 states east of the Mississippi River. Its mission is to mobilize, train and validate reserve-component units and provide training to joint, combined and active units.
"Last year, Division East trained about 60,000 Soldiers for duty in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo," Bednarek said.
Bednarek also highlighted aspects of Division East's current operations, including an evolution and projection of Reserve mobilization, training and deployments; the success of the unit's 56th Stryker Brigade out of Pennsylvania; the command initiative to hire wounded warriors; family support through Family Readiness Groups; and tapping into subject-matter experts, such as those at the Asymmetric Warfare Group.
"Training 60,000 Soldiers a year is about as noble a venture as you can have," Casey said.
While at Division East, Casey also recognized three of the unit's NCOs for their actions. Sgt. 1st Class Lawrence Veihl, who served as a casualty assistance officer last summer, received Casey's commander's coin, and Sgt. 1st Class Erik Ramos and Sgt. 1st Class Edward Pelotte received Army Achievement Medals for their work at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, La., last year.
As his helicopter arrived on McGlachlin Parade Field to take him back to the Pentagon, Casey took a few moments to speak briefly about 2009 as the Year of the NCO.
"As I've looked across the Army in the last couple of years," Casey said, "it has been clear to me that it is our non-commissioned officers who are providing the glue that is holding this force together."
Casey's goals for the year are to recognize what NCOs do for the Army and the country; to inform the American people about what a national asset the NCO corps is; and to enhance what the Army is doing for NCOs.

Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) is a process for creating school environments that are more predictable and effective for achieving academic and social goals. For some schools, PBIS will enhance their current systems and practices, for others it will radically change the culture for the better.
A key strategy of the PBIS process is prevention. The majority of students follow the school's expectations, but are never acknowledged for their positive behavior. Through instruction, comprehension and regular practice, all stakeholders use a consistent set of behavior expectations and rules. When some students do not respond to teaching of the behavioral rules, PBIS schools view it as an opportunity for re-teaching, not just punishment.
The PBIS model is a research based strategy that is supported by the state of North Carolina and the federal Department of Education. The 3-tiered approach reduces problem behavior as a barrier to student achievement. Public schools have 180 days each year to advance academic progress. So instructional time is very valuable. Within Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, there are many PBIS success stories involving individual students as well as entire schools. At the district level:
PBIS school teams develop a documented discipline system that is integrated with the district's Code of Conduct. When problem behavior occurs, students are provided with a full continuum of supports to address the behavior. If students do not respond, the intensity of the support increases. Most problem student behaviors either have an academic or social base. Properly addressing the root causes of behavior can prevent student failure later in life.
Parents are an important part of PBIS implementation. Schools encourage parents to use the same expectations and rules that the school teaches. This common language creates consistency and a unified support for expected student behavior. Parents are asked to discuss the common rules and expectations and post them at home for easy reference. Children thrive when they have consistent, predictable expectations and consequences.
The concept of PBIS has been researched in education for approximately 15 years. PBIS is based upon sound educational practices grounded in psychological and sociological theory. It was started as a joint initiative by the University of Oregon and the federal Department of Education to prevent the isolation of high school students. Currently, PBIS is implemented across the United States and in many foreign countries.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District website (WWW.CMS.K12.NC.US) is in the process of

Legal and Contracting Issues in Electronic Project Administration in the Construction Industry
Christensen, Sharon A., McNamara, Judith, & O'Shea, Kathryn L. (2007) Legal and Contracting Issues in Electronic Project Administration in the Construction Industry. Structural Survey, 25(3/4), pp. 191-203.
The purpose of this research project is to identify the legal and security issues, risks and barriers to the uptake of communication and document management technologies by the construction industry. Previous research suggests that the construction industry, especially in Australia, has been reluctant to adopt technology on a broad scale due to a range of legal uncertainties. The purpose of this paper is to explain the relevant legal issues and risks and to suggest possible solutions for legally compliant electronic project administration in the construction industry.

Athena shows that the band remains on the pillowy soft-rock track that 2013's Glow And Behold put them on, following the departure of original frontman, Daniel Blumberg. The track is one of several that Yuck recorded around Christmas time, and it'll appear on their Southern Skies EP out sometime this spring. Looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer to see where exactly these wunderkinds go next.
