Student or Learner
Some of the mostimportant things that have happened to me in my life so far are my life,friends, family, and everything I have in life. The reason I say life is because life is short and you will never knowwhen your last day will come so you should live each day as if it is your last.I love my life because it is neither perfect nor bad. At time, I do have moments when I say I wishI were another person, although I do not really mean it when I say it. If I could go back in time and not redoeverything but definitely change some things that I did wrong or could havedone better. Whenever I am going throughsomething and I say I hate myself I know that I should remember that there is always somebody else in the world that is going through the same thing or evenworse than what I am going through.
Another important thing in my life is myfriends. Reason being is that without myfriends (Sophia, Edward, Trent, and Katherine), I wouldprobably be stuck in my room all day on weekends, not doing anything. My friend Sophia is an amazing person to meand to others. She understands how Ifeel when I tell her what I am going through. I would say that she helped me last year when I was struggling trying toget to the right class on time and the gym mostly. May I not forget my other bestieKatherine? She is a sensitive, outgoing,and the best person to cheer you up when you are down. I do hate that she is being homeschooled butI can still see on the weekends. Edwardand Trent are funny, cool, and fun to be around. On the other hand, both are smart, but canact as if they are the only ones on Earth sometimes. When Ihear the word "friend", I instantly thing of someone who I can relyon, has courage, honesty, good advice and can keep a secret. A friend issomeone who has common interests and time to spend with you. The mostsignificant feature I look for in a friend, is someone who I instantly knowwhat that they are going to have my back, no matter who, when, how, where orwhat the situation is. That personallyis a BFFL (best friend for life).
Furthermore, family is what you make ofit. To me family is someone or a groupof close people that I feel comfortable being around, and just cannot livewithout. My mom is one person in my lifethat I love more than anybody is. When shesays something, she means it. My mom isvery kind, loyal, caring and lovable to others and me. Some other family members that I want tonotice for doing well is my grandma. Ilove my grandma because she does thing for me that I could probably do formyself or that do not even need to be ensure, but she is goes out of her way tomake other people happy. The words that describe her are nice, strict, kind,and tough. Now my cat, Ginger, is sostrangle and the reason I say that is because one moment she is nice then nextthing you know if try to pick her up shewants to scratch me. On the other hand,there are more good things about her then bad cause when I first got her shewas the sweetest thing ever. I just wanted to keep her in my room all day, butthen the matureness comes around and it is like in a hot second she wants torub you, follow you. Every single personon Earth needs somebody in their life to fill in the holes that aredeteriorating. Family members come toyour rescue in the need of hour and stand by you when you feel lonely. Theygive you mental as well as financial support. You can share your problems ifyou have any with your family members. Forother people that may not be family, but for me it is. I will always love them through thick andthin and for like a friend it is like family for no matter what the situationis. Friends will always come and go butfamily never leaves you. I think that attimes when I ask for things they say no it is for my own good.
For an example, at home,I have chores like washing dishes, taking out the trash, cleaning on everyother Saturday and if I do not do them then if I ask for stuff it is aguarantee that I will not get it. Eventhough sometimes I do not do them or I just forget to I have pay the consequencesand they are not fun, so I might as well do them and write them down somewhereso I will not forget to do them.
In addition, everything I have in life isspecial to me. Particularly meaning thatI should be grateful; reasons are school, health, home, food, teachers/mentors, country, change, sleep, and medicine. Other people in the world such as families in Africa as well as UnitedStates are in poverty. Therefore when Iam eating at the table and do not eat all my food, my mom gets mad and says,"Taylor you know good and well that people in the world are starving and dyingto have food". Yet when my grandma is cooking something that I don'tparticularly like to eat at that time or at all then all of a sudden everybodyin the house is like, "Back in the day whenyour grandma use to cook for us we had to eat what she fixed otherwise we justwould not have anything to eat.
The reason I saidschool is because it improves your social life, wide range of activities, and itis good for me. I like the fact that myschool, Horton Middle, has many clubs that I can join like: Art Club, HortonHelpers. Some other things that myschool has is what I like to use on weekends when I'm bored, to enhance my mathperformance so that I can do better and prepare myself for a test I could betaking. I am not a fan of english however;it helps me with my reading and writing skills so that I can develop a smarterbrain. I love science because I do very wellin it and I love studying the earth, plants, and the experiments we do inclass. Social studies is good to for when I get older and if someone ask mewhat is the third president or the Declaration of Independence, I am going toneed to know that. In addition, I amglad that I have passed all the grades under eighth grade. My house is important to me because withoutmy house I would live in a shelter or outside. I do not have to live in the biggest house of the world, but I also donot have the smallest one either. Myhealth is so important to my family and me, which means that I have to eatright (I really do not, oops) exercise (hate it) and just simply take care ofmy body. Anyway food (yum) is the somewhat the best thing that has happen, but alsonot the worst thing that has happen, but I love nevertheless. Other people that I want to thank are myfriends. My friends are the second partof my life because they help with school life and my social problems. That is all the most important things in mylife so far.

Julien Grout, a former JPMorgan Chase & Co. trader charged with trying to hide the bank's record trading loss last year, is arguing to prosecutors that he was following orders from his then-boss, Bruno Iksil, people with knowledge of the matter said.
Grout's lawyers provided records including e-mails to U.S. prosecutors in Manhattan in the past two weeks in an effort to cast doubt on the government's assertion that Iksil resisted pressure to inflate the value of the trades, said the people, who asked not to be named because the talks were private. While Grout and another supervisor, Javier Martin-Artajo, were charged with conspiracy and wire fraud, Iksil -- nicknamed the London Whale -- avoided prosecution after agreeing to cooperate with authorities.
The exchange shows that Grout, who is fighting accusations he improperly marked assets to hide losses, is trying to damage his former boss's credibility. In announcing charges against Grout and Martin-Artajo last month, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in Manhattan said Iksil had sounded the alarm "more than once" to co-workers.
"It may be part of an attempt to tell the government that this case is weaker than you think, and you'll be embarrassed," John Coffee, a securities law professor at Columbia University Law School, said of Grout's effort. E-mails are often a matter of debate, with defense attorneys trying "to tell the prosecution that they can't go forward because their interpretation is wrong."
'Accurate, Reliable'
JPMorgan, the biggest U.S. bank by assets, lost more than $6.2 billion last year on the derivatives bets made by its U.K. chief investment office, where the three men worked. Grout reported to Iksil, who reported to Martin-Artajo, the CIO's head of credit trading. Iksil, nicknamed the whale because his trades were big enough to move markets, signed a non-prosecution agreement in June that requires him to "truthfully and completely disclose all information" while cooperating.
Iksil's information "has been accurate and reliable, and corroborated by, among other things, documents, e-mails and recordings of telephone conversations," Jonathan Polonitza, a special agent at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, wrote in a statement for the complaint against Grout. It referred to Iksil by the acronym "CW-1" for confidential witness.
It won't be easy for Grout's lawyers to change prosecutors' view of the case, even if he hasn't been indicted yet, Coffee said.
"Once you file a criminal complaint, while you're not compelled to go forward with the indictment, you have crossed the Rubicon," he said.

Transfer news: Blackburn hoping to land David Jones on permanent deal
Blackburn boss Gary Bowyer hopes to land David Jones on a permanent deal and has snubbed an offer for David Goodwillie.
Last Updated: 08/06/13 4:14pm
Jones, who spent the final months of the 2012/13 campaign at Ewood Park, has been released by Wigan Athletic and dropped into the free agent pool.
Rovers would welcome the opportunity to bring him back into their ranks, but appreciate that the midfielder will have other options to consider.
Bowyer said in the Lancashire Telegraph: "David was excellent for us at the end of the season so we'll see if we can get something sorted.
"We're always hopeful but obviously he will have interest from other clubs."
He added on his transfer plans heading forward: "We are still working on things and hopefully it will hot up in the next couple of weeks.
"We want to get players in who the supporters will be proud to have wearing the shirt."
While looking to bring fresh faces into his squad, Bowyer has also moved to block an approach from Dundee United for Goodwillie.
The striker is out of favour at Rovers but he will not be returning for a second spell at Tannadice unless the terms on offer are improved.
Bowyer added: "The offer is not good enough and there are other clubs interested."

Man sparks ball of flames after crashing stolen truck into gas station
Suspect recently released from jail, accused of stealing vehicle
Suspect recently released from jail, accused of stealing vehicle
Suspect recently released from jail, accused of stealing vehicle
A ball of flames erupted early Wednesday at a gas station in Oklahoma after police say a man took off from a nearby apartment complex in a stolen truck.
Police said the suspect driving the stolen truck crashed into the pumps at the OnCue in Del City shortly after midnight. Emergency crews arrived and kept the flames from spreading.
"At the time, we didn't know the truck was stolen," Del City police Capt. Ted Kleber said. "The truck had not been reported stolen. The owners had not reported it was stolen."
Before the fiery crash, Del City received a noise complaint at a nearby apartment complex, saying someone was banging on a truck outside. An officer saw a man removing tools from the vehicle.
"The individual saw the police spotlight on him," Kleber said. "He jumps into the truck and takes off."
After the man wrecked the truck, he ran from police. Officers went back to the apartment complex and noticed some of the tools were gone.
They then started searching the apartments and looked through a window.
"They saw the guy they were chasing was sitting in the living room with all the stolen property," Kleber said. "He still had bloodied hands and bloodied face from the accident."
Officers said they had to deploy a Taser to make the arrest.

Avery, Alphonso Calhoun
11 Sept. 1835–13 June 1913
Alphonso Calhoun Avery, Confederate officer and judge, was born at Swan Ponds in Burke County, the fifth son of Isaac Thomas and Harriet Erwin Avery. While his father was a wealthy man, he believed that his sons should know farming thoroughly and raised them to follow the plow for at least one season. Once this training was over, young Avery was prepared for college at the Bingham School in Oaks, Orange County, and then entered The University of North Carolina; he was graduated with the A.B. degree in 1857, excelling in Latin and mathematics and standing first in his class.
Avery spent the next two years in Yancey, now Mitchell, County, in charge of a grass and stock farm for his father. He began to study law under the well-known teacher Richmond Pearson, later chief justice, at Logtown and within a year, in June 1860, was licensed to practice in the county courts. He was preparing to stand for his examination for license to appear before the superior court when the war intervened. On 27 Feb. 1861, he married Susan Washington Morrison, daughter of the Reverend R. H. Morrison of Lincoln County and granddaughter of General Joseph Graham of Lincoln County. The Reverend Mr. Morrison was a Presbyterian minister and the first president of Davidson College.
Three months later, Avery was helping his brother Isaac Erwin raise a company in the Sixth Regiment, North Carolina troops, and was granted a commission as first lieutenant in the same regiment. As a lieutenant in Company F, commanded by his brother, Captain I. E. Avery, he saw action in the battles of First Manassas and Seven Pines. After the Battle of Seven Pines, Captain Avery was placed in command of the Sixth Regiment, and shortly thereafter, A. C. Avery was promoted to captain and became the commander of Company E, Sixth Regiment. With his keen mind and legal education, however, he was considered to be of more value at headquarters than in the field and consequently was transferred to the staff of his brother-in-law, Major General Daniel Harvey Hill, in December 1862. There he was promoted to major and served for some time as assistant inspector general of Hill's division in the Army of Northern Virginia. In 1864 he went with the ill-fated Hill to the Army of the West, where his brother-in-law served for a time as a corps commander. When General Hill returned to Richmond, after a disagreement with General Braxton Bragg, Major Avery remained in the West, serving on the staffs of generals John C. Breckenridge, Thomas C. Hindman, and John B. Hood; he was with Hood in the retreat from Dalton to the Chattahoochee River.
Because his three older brothers had already been killed in action and his father was dying, Major Avery was granted a leave of absence by General Hood in the summer of 1864; within a month or so he was transferred to the Department of North Carolina. In the fall of that year, at the suggestion of the adjutant general of Western North Carolina District, he was authorized to organize a battalion that was subsequently enlarged to a regiment and used for the protection of the northwestern frontier of North Carolina. For a few months, Avery's battalion served a useful purpose, but it was unable to cope with the large Federal force that was moved to East Tennessee in the spring of 1865. At this time, Major General George Stoneman, with a division of Federal cavalry, moved into western North Carolina on a mammoth raid, and Major Avery was captured while doing military business at the Confederate army headquarters in Salisbury. With other captured prisoners, he was marched back to Tennessee and confined at Camp Chase until August 1865, at which time he was paroled.
Avery returned to Swan Ponds to begin the practice of law in Morganton. However, he was in no way returning to the life he had left. Led since childhood to believe that he would assume a favored position in the community, he was profoundly disillusioned to learn that in the ferment following the war years, his economic status had abruptly changed. There developed for him and others like him a ceaseless struggle against the blight of poverty and the crush of debt. Families were as large as ever and as demanding as ever, but money was almost nonexistent and the people were in no position to pay for services. As soon as he returned home, he became actively engaged in politics and in 1866 was elected to the state senate from a district composed of Burke, Caldwell, and McDowell counties. During his tenure of office, he originated and secured the passage of an act implementing the extension of the Western North Carolina Railroad to Old Fort. With the passage of the Reconstruction Act by the U.S. Congress in 1867, however, the Conservative Democrats were swept out of office and the Republican party was formed and took over. Composed of blacks, die-hard Unionists, disaffected Confederates, carpetbaggers, and scalawags, it ruled the state in a tempestuous fashion until 1877, a period of almost ten years.
With this turn of events, Avery joined an underground resistance movement instituted by the Conservative politicians of the state. A leader in the organization of the Ku Klux Klan in western North Carolina, he rode with the vigilantes. The Klan was a powerful resistance movement against the Republican party, its principles, and its policies. Confederate soldiers and respected citizens manned its ranks. It functioned actively and effectively during the late sixties and early seventies and promptly disbanded when it was no longer needed. There was no resemblance between it and subsequent organizations of the same name.
Avery was elected a Conservative delegate to the North Carolina Constitutional Convention of 1875. This body revised the state constitution, which had been rewritten by the Republicans in 1868. In 1876 he was a Democratic presidential elector. In 1878, with the return of the Democrats to power, he was elected a judge of the superior court of North Carolina. The same year he professed his faith and became a member of the First Presbyterian Church at Morganton. On 2 Nov. 1879 he was ordained and installed as a ruling elder in this church, an office that he fulfilled in an exemplary manner for more than twenty-five years. In 1886 his wife died, and three years later he married Sara Love Thomas, daughter of Colonel W. H. Thomas, a prominent political figure in western North Carolina. In 1889, Trinity College conferred on him the M.A. degree, and in the same year, The University of North Carolina honored him with the LL.D. degree.
Avery rode the circuits as a superior court judge for ten years and in 1888 was elected an associate justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. He served on the supreme court for eight years and during this time filed more than five hundred opinions, in which he displayed an absorbing passion for the rights of man. In 1892, the year Trinity College was moved to Durham, he assumed the burden of its struggling law school as dean and teacher, serving in this capacity for more than a year.
After his retirement from the bench in 1897, Avery conducted a private law practice in the courts of western North Carolina and also taught a law class in Morganton. He was a member of the Southern Historical Society and a prolific writer, not only on legal matters, but also on historical and biographical subjects. His Life and Character of General D. H. Hill has been recognized as the best sketch of this famous Confederate officer. At the time of his death he had just completed a History of the Presbyterian Churches at Quaker Meadows and Morganton but never had the opportunity to proofread it.
Avery had eleven children, among them Isaac Erwin Avery, the local editor of the Charlotte Observer whose untimely death in 1904 shortened what might have been a brilliant career in writing. Other children of Avery and his first wife, Susan Washington Morrison, were Harriet Eloise, Morrison Robert, Susan Washington, Alphonso Calhoun, and Alfred Lee. Avery's children with his second wife, Sallie Love Thomas, were Lenoir, Gladys (Mrs. Charles Tillett, a special representative of the United States to the United Nations), and Edith.

For those of us who end up wearing 10% of what we eat, stain removal is a constant battle.
Washing machines themselves are getting better at removing stains from clothing without any kind of pretreating or spot removal.
But for tougher jobs like grass stains, you might need to some additional help.
Tide Stain Brain collects real people's successful stain removal tricks and displays them by stain type. So if you need to figure out how to get rid of wine stains, click on the wine button and you'll find out that white wine actually removes a red wine stain, according to several submissions. Or learn that hydrogen peroxide is the best stain remover for blood.
If you have a smartphone, you can download a mobile app, which could be real handy when I spill coffee all over myself while walking into work (happens at least twice a week).
You can comment on specific submission or add your own. It reminds me of my second favorite website (after www.warnersstellian.com, of course) AllRecipes.

Petite Auberge
- Expired
- Toco Hills
- French
With a menu that changes, as Michael jokes, "about every two decades," the chef and his kitchen have mastered all of the refined, classic European dishes that define this elegant, Old World restaurant.When Michael and his family left Europe for Atlanta nearly 50 years ago, they weren't planning to stay that long. Thirty-eight years later—approximately a century in Atlanta restaurant years—Petite Auberge, the family's elegant continental restaurant, is still serving the same classic European dishes that their father was trained to create. Steadfast and reliably delicious, Petite Auberge's regulars have remained faithfully loyal to the European menu and the elegant atmosphere, which hearkens back to the time-honored fine dining days of yore, but without an ounce of stuffiness or snobbery.
With a menu that changes, as Michael jokes, "about every two decades," the chef and his kitchen have mastered all of the refined dishes from France and elsewhere in Europe that define the restaurant, like French onion soup, escargot, paté and chateaubriand, a tenderloin recipe dating back to the 18th century. Petite Auberge offers a few dishes from Germany and other countries, as well (weinerschnitzel, anyone?).
Most spectacularly, there's nothing quite like dining in a restaurant that's spent over three decades refining and perfecting its craft. And the gentlemen behind Petite Auberge have made it imperative to bring the days of elegant dining, with top-notch service, a romantic, candlelit dining room, and a few dishes (chateaubriand; baked Alaska) prepared tableside to this city. Yes, sometimes it's just necessary to indulge in a little luxury. Petite Auberge's loyal regulars know this— they've been doing it for over 30 years. And that's some serious proof that this tucked-away restaurant is doing it right.
Menu Highlights:
Escargots Provencal, $9.95
Red Snapper Riviera, $20.95
Rack of Lamb, $22.95
Filet of Beef Wellington, $24.95

SOMETIMES I rambled to pine groves, standing like temples, or like fleets at sea, full-rigged, with wavy boughs, and rippling with light, so soft and green and shady that the Druids would have forsaken their oaks to worship in them; or to the cedar wood beyond Flint's Pond, where the trees, covered with hoary blue berries, spiring higher and higher, are fit to stand before Valhalla, and the creeping juniper covers the ground with wreaths full of fruit; or to swamps where the usnea lichen hangs in festoons from the white spruce trees, and toadstools, round tables of the swamp gods, cover the ground, and more beautiful fungi adorn the stumps, like butterflies or shells, vegetable winkles; where the swamp-pink and dogwood grow, the red alder berry glows like eyes of imps, the waxwork grooves and crushes the hardest woods in its folds, and the wild holly berries make the beholder forget his home with their beauty, and he is dazzled and tempted by nameless other wild forbidden fruits, too fair for mortal taste. Instead of calling on some scholar, I paid many a visit to particular trees, of kinds which are rare in this neighborhood, standing far away in the middle of some pasture, or in the depths of a wood or swamp, or on a hilltop; such as the black birch, of which we have some handsome specimens two feet in diameter; its cousin, the yellow birch, with its loose golden vest, perfumed like the first; the beech, which has so neat a hole and beautifully lichen-painted, perfect in all its details, of which, excepting scattered specimens, I know but one small grove of sizable trees left in the township, supposed by some to have been planted by the pigeons that were once baited with beechnuts near by; it is worth the while to see the silver grain sparkle when you split this wood; the bass; the hornbeam; the Celtis occidentalis, or false elm, of which we have but one well-grown; some taller mast of a pine, a shingle tree, or a more perfect hemlock than usual, standing like a pagoda in the midst of the woods; and many others I could mention. These were the shrines I visited both summer and winter.
Once it chanced that I stood in the very abutment of a rainbow's arch, which filled the lower stratum of the atmosphere, tinging the grass and leaves around, and dazzling me as if I looked through colored crystal. It was a lake of rainbow light, in which, for a short while, I lived like a dolphin. If it had lasted longer it might have tinged my employments and life. As I walked on the railroad causeway, I used to wonder at the halo of light around my shadow, and would fain fancy myself one of the elect. One who visited me declared that the shadows of some Irishmen before him had no halo about them, that it was only natives that were so distinguished. Benvenuto Cellini tells us in his memoirs, that, after a certain terrible dream or vision which he had during his confinement in the castle of St. Angelo a resplendent light appeared over the shadow of his head at morning and evening, whether he was in Italy or France, and it was particularly conspicuous when the grass was moist with dew. This was probably the same phenomenon to which I have referred, which is especially observed in the morning, but also at other times, and even by moonlight. Though a constant one, it is not commonly noticed, and, in the case of an excitable imagination like Cellini's, it would be basis enough for superstition. Beside, he tells us that he showed it to very few. But are they not indeed distinguished who are conscious that they are regarded at all?
I set out one afternoon to go a-fishing to Fair Haven, through the woods, to eke out my scanty fare of vegetables. My way led through Pleasant Meadow, an adjunct of the Baker Farm, that retreat of which a poet has since sung, beginning,
I thought of living there before I went to Walden. I "hooked" the apples, leaped the brook, and scared the musquash and the trout. It was one of those afternoons which seem indefinitely long before one, in which many events may happen, a large portion of our natural life, though it was already half spent when I started. By the way there came up a shower, which compelled me to stand half an hour under a pine, piling boughs over my head, and wearing my handkerchief for a shed; and when at length I had made one cast over the pickerelweed, standing up to my middle in water, I found myself suddenly in the shadow of a cloud, and the thunder began to rumble with such emphasis that I could do no more than listen to it. The gods must be proud, thought I, with such forked flashes to rout a poor unarmed fisherman. So I made haste for shelter to the nearest hut, which stood half a mile from any road, but so much the nearer to the pond, and had long been uninhabited:
"Do you ever fish?" I asked. "Oh yes, I catch a mess now and then when I am lying by; good perch I catch.- "What's your bait?" "I catch shiners with fishworms, and bait the perch with them." "You'd better go now, John," said his wife, with glistening and hopeful face; but John demurred.
The shower was now over, and a rainbow above the eastern woods promised a fair evening; so I took my departure. When I had got without I asked for a drink, hoping to get a sight of the well bottom, to complete my survey of the premises; but there, alas! are shallows and quicksands, and rope broken withal, and bucket irrecoverable. Meanwhile the right culinary vessel was selected, water was seemingly distilled, and after consultation and long delay passed out to the thirsty one- not yet suffered to cool, not yet to settle. Such gruel sustains life here, I thought; so, shutting my eyes, and excluding the motes by a skilfully directed undercurrent, I drank to genuine hospitality the heartiest draught I could. I am not squeamish in such cases when manners are concerned.
As I was leaving the Irishman's roof after the rain, bending my steps again to the pond, my haste to catch pickerel, wading in retired meadows, in sloughs and bog-holes, in forlorn and savage places, appeared for an instant trivial to me who had been sent to school and college; but as I ran down the hill toward the reddening west, with the rainbow over my shoulder, and some faint tinkling sounds borne to my ear through the cleansed air, from I know not what quarter, my Good Genius seemed to say- Go fish and hunt far and wide day by day- farther and wider- and rest thee by many brooks and hearth-sides without misgiving. Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth. Rise free from care before the dawn, and seek adventures. Let the noon find thee by other lakes, and the night overtake thee everywhere at home. There are no larger fields than these, no worthier games than may here be played. Grow wild according to thy nature, like these sedges and brakes, which will never become English bay. Let the thunder rumble; what if it threaten ruin to farmers' crops? that is not its errand to thee. Take shelter under the cloud, while they flee to carts and sheds. Let not to get a living be thy trade, but thy sport. Enjoy the land, but own it not. Through want of enterprise and faith men are where they are, buying and selling, and spending their lives like serfs.
Men come tamely home at night only from the next field or street, where their household echoes haunt, and their life pines because it breathes its own breath over again; their shadows, morning and evening, reach farther than their daily steps. We should come home from far, from adventures, and perils, and discoveries every day, with new experience and character.
Before I had reached the pond some fresh impulse had brought out John Field, with altered mind, letting go "bogging" ere this sunset. But he, poor man, disturbed only a couple of fins while I was catching a fair string, and he said it was his luck; but when we changed seats in the boat luck changed seats too. Poor John Field!- I trust he does not read this, unless he will improve by it- thinking to live by some derivative old-country mode in this primitive new country- to catch perch with shiners. It is good bait sometimes, I allow. With his horizon all his own, yet he a poor man, born to be poor, with his inherited Irish poverty or poor life, his Adam's grandmother and boggy ways, not to rise in this world, he nor his posterity, till their wading webbed bog-trotting feet get talaria to their heels.

Cisco Keeps Moving in Mobile
Already number one in the mobile infrastructure market (ACG Research, May 2012), Cisco continues to press ahead.
With worldwide mobile network traffic expected to increase 18-fold between 2011 and 2016 (Cisco Visual Networking Index) Cisco today introduced the foundation for a new generation of mobile Internet networks — the ASR 5500.
The ASR 5500 extends the industry-leading Cisco ASR 5000 series and delivers the agility and scale service providers need going forward. As the industry's first elastic mobile solution, the ASR 5500 was designed to enable operators to address the "new normal," which includes:
- Dramatic growth of mobile lifestyle devices – consumers are buying sophisticated and powerful Internet-enabled devices and expect to be able to use them at home, at work, and on the road via bring-your-own-device or BYOD.
- Desire for application freedom – explosive growth in applications by users, always-on applications and "chatty" devices.
- Rise of the Internet of things – connecting billions of machines – not just people.
The ASR 5500 is purpose-built to maximize performance of the proven software shared across the ASR 5000 family, resulting in massive increases in throughput — scaling from hundreds of gigabits to the industry's only terabit performance platform — scale and number of sessions supported. The ASR 5500 is also the only elastic packet core solution capable of integrating signaling, data and in-line services within a single platform.
Not least, the ASR 5500 greatly improves network economy, with as much as a 45-percent reduction in operational expenditures and as much as a 55-percent reduction in footprint from the nearest competing product.

By age 13, some boys and girls may be ready to babysit. It all depends on how ready and able you are to take on the responsibility of caring for young kids.
Taking a babysitting course is a good first step. You also can start out as a "mother's helper," where you take care of a child (or several kids) while the mom or dad is still at home. That way, you get an idea of what it will be like, but the parent would be there in case you have a question.
If you do decide to babysit, keep your first job short (an hour or two). It's also ideal if you can babysit for a family that lives in your neighborhood, so your mom or dad will be nearby in case you have any problems or an emergency.

The Red Storm now has a record of 5-2 while the Tigers improved to 6-3.
St. John's bench outscored Auburn's 14-4 and the Red Storm shot 58.3 from the field in the second half and scored 34 points in the paint overall but could not notch its second away victory of the season.
The Tigers held St. John's to a season low in halftime and total points, and turned 22 Red Storm turnovers into 22 points while shooting 50 percent for the game.
"I thought Auburn did a good job of doing the things they do well," said St. John's head coach Joe Tartamella. "I've got some younger players who haven't seen that type of pressure before, and I thought that showed a little bit today."
Sophomore guard Aliyyah Handford, the country's ninth leading scorer entering Friday's game, netted a team-high 18 points on an efficient 7-of-12 shooting, and was a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line.
Handford, who added four rebounds and three assists, has scored at least 18 points in each of the first seven games of the season.
Freshman point guard Aaliyah Lewis added eight points, four assists and two steals for St. John's, while classmate Jade Walker hit on both of her field goal attempts to finish with a career-high four points off the Red Storm bench.
Auburn would remain undefeated in four games at Auburn Arena thanks in part to 28 points from junior Hasina Muhammad.
Up next, the Red Storm returns to Queens to host the St. John's Chartwells Holiday Classic, taking on Drexel on Saturday, Dec. 14, and James Madison on Sunday, Dec. 15.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - In what was a disappointing 2012 campaign, the 2013 Lipscomb women's soccer team will be "On a Mission." The term will be used throughout the season to change the perception of the Lady Bisons.
"It is something that we decided as a staff with the senior players," second year head coach Kevin O'Brien said. "It really means we are on a mission to change the identity of our program and the reputation.
"We are set out to change that, first by bringing in the right coaches and I think we have done that, then ultimately the right players. The ones that are sold out and committed to the cause, it is really exciting. We are going to change what Lipscomb soccer has been in the past to something that we think is exciting about the future."
O'Brien and the Lady Bisons got a kick-start on the mission starting Wednesday with the first training session of the 2013 season. The training sessions will be used to assimilate the new players with the old and to mold the style of play.
"Preseason is about training the team in the way that we think we can be successful when the season comes around," O'Brien said. "At the moment it is getting a lot of players to know the system of play, the style of play and most importantly, coming together as a group. Almost half of the squad is new to us this year."
The Purple and Gold return eight starters from a year ago while bringing in a talented class of 14 freshmen.
The returners are led by junior Baylee Linnell who tied for the team high with four goals scored a year ago. The Nashville native also tallied two assists for a team leading 10 points. Linnell had 32 shots placing 15 on goal a year ago.
Molly Bray, a sophomore from Oklahoma City, Okla., co-led the squad with four goals. Fellow sophomore Caroline Chadwell led the squad with 49 shots placing 26 on goal. She placed two in the back of the net while adding an assist.
Junior Brittany Rupple and sophomore Alex Hickey also return after appearing in the goals scored column a year ago.
The Lady Bisons were tabbed to finish seventh in the Atlantic Sun Conference preseason poll, released Thursday. Two-time defending champions Florida Gulf Coast was picked as the preseason favorite, garnering five first-place votes and 95 total points.
To help Lipscomb achieve the goals set out by the coaching staff, the Lady Bisons will spend the weekend on a retreat to help with the cohesion of the squad.
"Ultimately, a retreat is an opportunity to get away from campus and come together as a group," O'Brien said. "We will have a bonfire and get to know each other on a personal level. The reality is, the closer the players are off the field, it translates to better relationships on the field."
Although the retreat will take the squad off campus, practice will still be held.
"We are going to train," O'Brien said. "Even though it is a retreat, we can't take time off. We will be working hard on the soccer field."
The Lady Bisons open the regular season on Friday, Aug. 23 at Western Kentucky. Following three straight road contests the Purple and Gold makes its home debut on Monday, Sept. 2 against UT-Martin.

Fast Animals Slow Children
Fast Animals Slow Children was originally introduced as a minor five-second joke on the TV show Family Guy. But like many other successful shows which came from one-time appearances ("The Tracy Ullman Show", "The Honeymooners", "CSI Jamaica:Jah Man!") the FOX network, always looking for the easy money and the self-deluded viewer, decided to make "Fast Animals Slow Children" into the real thing.
Factoid: The pilot episode was strung together entirely from previously unusable "Jack Hanna Presents: Special-Ed Kids Can't Hunt" footage.
Fast Animals Slow Children's premise is rather simple: Release an obese child into a wild jungle full of fast, hungry animals. Watch how the animals catch the fatty. Intersperse the tense moments with highly-profitable commercials. Watch the animals devour the tender vittles with extreme pleasure. At the conclusion, show a preview of next weeks episode. Keep the cameras rolling as the animals eat the youngsters for sale to the internet fetish market.

- 2 Airings
- 3 Complaints about cruelty and harsh treatment
- 4 Seasons
- 5 Want to be a part of the program?
- 6 DVD Collection
- 7 Spin offs
- 8 See Also
Main Casting[edit]
The first cast, those who made it into the show (but never made it out), were:
- 18 morbidly obese kids from the USA (where else would you get that many fat kids? The United Arab Emirates?)
- 10 overweight boys (from other parts of the world)
- One anorexic boy, so that the fat kids could trash and punk him before being eaten.
The show began airing in 2004 with a two-hour premiere, but due to the fact that most contestants got eaten in the first hour by hungry lions , tigers and wolves, the ratings for the second hour of the first episode dropped considerably. The Network consultants quickly figured out that the sadistic masses who watch TV only desire to see bloodshed, bloodbaths, and boobs.
Due to this, and to build an audience of loyal viewers, the network decided to include a new cast every episode, to keep the bloodshed and ear-shattering screams of pain and desperation going weekly.
The show was also deemed by the United States Department of Health and Human Services to be an effective measure to fight childhood obesity, and the U.S. government is considering gathering all the nation's fat boys into the show to help reduce the nation's obesity epidemic. FOX is, of course, lobbying for this action, and has already booked Central Park in New York and the Coliseum in Rome as two of the venues for this anticipated special.
Complaints about cruelty and harsh treatment[edit]
After the first several episodes, due to the large amounts of fatty meat being consumed by the animals, some had heart failure while others just got obese themselves and could no longer outrun their prey. Many social and wildlife protection groups, such as Greenpeace and PETA, have protested against the show, accusing it of being a vile source of entertainment because of its torturing of animals by overfeeding. So during season two FOX introduced Hannibal Lecter to the show, along with some other fine young cannibals.
Other groups also protested the show's use of fat children. They claimed that it was a complete waste feeding dumb animals with such large amounts of meat, when the meat of those fatties could be used to feed the entire third-world. To hush these complains, FOX donated 300 American obese children to African communities, where they were slaughtered and cooked during a FOX live special entitled "We feed the world, we feed them children".
Season 1: Hungry Animals never had it easier.[edit]
The first season is considered by many to be a landmark in television history due to the novelty value, realistic blood letting, and exciting chases (though very short, as fatties are slow, and never get too far). The show was also praised for its educative value, as animal habits and preferences are showcased throughout. For example, it was seen that, given the choice, lions prefer morbidly obese teen's meat, while wolves prefer young chubby children flesh, as it's easier to hunt and kill.
Still, after 10 episodes, the show lost some ratings, as the animals, slowed by this fatty diet, began to get too slow or to die off too quickly. To try to keep up the bloodshed, FOX Producers introduced the idea of tying-up the fatties to a plate, placing an apple in their mouths, and allowing the now-overweight animals to eat without chasing. The idea was not very well accepted, but only due to the fact that with the apple stuffed in their mouths the youngsters were unable to emit ear-shattering screams of pain while being eaten, thus reduced the show's attractiveness.
Trying to improve this, FOX producers promised the inclusion of a new deadly and vile animal for next season: Cannibals.
Season 2: God bless the chef[edit]
The season that the production company moved its location to a small cannibal village, and instead of having several fat kids running for their lives in each episode, only one grossly obese kid or teen was shown. Such a big prey could feed the entire cannibal village, and this generated much criticism, as fans claimed that no serious TV show can have only one death per episode. Others claimed that it was much better to have one death per show, as more bloody details of the killing were shown, such as the slaughtering, opening and serving of the chubbies, with close-ups of the entrails and slow motion filming of the deribbings.
Season 3: Fast Animals Revenge[edit]
To everyone's surprise, during season three's two-hour premiere, Fast Animals featured in the first season (such as Lions, Tigers, Wolves, and the like) returned to chase fatties. This took ratings thru the roof again.
To keep the show fresh, every now and then FOX Producers would broadcast an episode in which a group of different fat kids where taken to a slaughterhouse, and their meat was later packed up. Then documentarists would take this meat to places where world hunger was worst, ending their suffering by giving them this freshly killed food.
Season 4: Slow Children's Revenge[edit]
By the fourth Season the fat animals were getting rather slow and out of shape themselves, and producers decided to introduce a very dangerous species to the game: Really hungry slow children. These fatties rapidly did not only devour other fat contestants, but also, ate several of the so called fast animals. Due to this, the newly introduced hungry kids got fatter and slower, and, rapidly, decided to move in herds, as the fast animals quickly fled at the presence of so many fatties. Still, when one of these fatties separated from the main group, packs of still coordinated animals hunted down to eat the flesh-full fatty.
THE UNRELEASED SEASON[edit]
The unreleased "secret" season was the biggest mistake in reality TV history. Although no one knows for sure what really happened, video shows that one of the fatties became so hungry on the trip over to the island that he ended
up eating all of the contestants and the camera men and pilots. An elite team of fat-kid- hunters tracked down the round monster, and removed him for the island for the sake of the wildlife. He was relocated to a small town in southern Ontario Canada, and although this beast is under constant watch, there is still a large fear that it will strike again.
The unreleased season was supposed to be kept a secret, but FOX decided to air it just for the hell of it. The ratings were the highest in televison history, easily surpassing the ratings for the Superbowls, Olympics, and that one time CBS inadvertedly aired Debbie Does Dallas.
Want to be a part of the program?[edit]
It's rather easy, actually. You only have to be between fetus-to-18 years old, be as fat as a sumo wrestler, and be slow running, walking, or of any movement whatsoever. You should also be willing to bathe yourself in spicy sauce before filming, (which makes the flesh tastier to the wild animals and attracts them faster, too), and, as the obese epidemic must be eradicated from the USA, be American.
NOTE: If you do fulfill these requirements, but you don't want to participate, be advised, that you may be dragged into the show anyway, and be placed on the jungle with hungry animals so they can feast on your flesh. If you really, really don't want to die, stop the nonstop hand-to-mouth habit and go and exercise, fatty!
DVD Collection[edit]
Fox sales of Fast Animals Slow Children DVDs has broken sales records formally held by "Girls Gone Wild".
Spin offs[edit]
Fast Fish Slow Children[edit]
FOX's interest in keeping people entertained has forced producers to produce new shows with a similar premise. One spin-off will be released soon: "Fast Fish Slow Children", which is basically the same stupid thing, only in water.
Casting has already begun, and calls for any child or teen who resembles a walrus or a manatee (fast hungry sharks will recognize the shapes, and attack quickly). Another requirement is that the body fat of the contestants should be higher than 40%, guaranteeing slow speeds and assuring aquatic bloodshed of epic proportions.
Fast Dinosaurs Slow Children[edit]
FOX executives have paid two genetic scientists to recreate a few dinosaurs to star in another spin-off, "Fast Dinosaurs Slow Children". This show is expected to pick up a large science fiction audience as well.

Exercise and Diet are Essential to Losing Weight
Drink FatDown before exercising to keep a healthy and yoyo-free diet.
In a diet market crowded with so many different formulae, Fat Down created a new fitness drink market to burn fat through exercise!
It proposes a paradigm shift from looking only at weight to creating healthy, beautiful bodies by reducing body fat.
Launched in 2002 and loved for 12 years, FatDown!
As the top dieting brand in Korea, FatDown has continuously been loved by consumers. However, there were many difficulties leading up to the birth of FatDown, which is now loved by consumers. The hardest part was making FatDown tasty!
The Garcinia Cambogia shell extracts used in FatDown help to reduce body fat, but have a bitter taste. After thousands of hours of research, we were able to make today's sweet and fresh taste. This was possible through the efforts of the researchers at CJ Food Research Center. Sales of FatDown rose quickly as a result. Korea began showing a growing interest in health when it was first launched, and FatDown became a must-have drink as it improved health and body fitness through exercise. By satisfying customer demand, sales skyrocketed.
Distribution of FatDown started off through home shopping networks. This is because home shopping was the best medium to introduce FatDown to the target consumer base. TV home shopping helped improve sales of FatDown considerably. However, FatDown, which breaks down fat when used together with exercise, was misunderstood by consumers, who thought it would help them to lose weight just by drinking it. This resulted in a drop of sales of FatDown.
To overcome this crisis, in 2005 CJ's Health Food Business Department held an event that allowed consumers to experience FatDown for themselves. This event included a 'Sweat Campaign' so fitness center members could experience FatDown, and a 'Challenge' event that offered an 8-week diet program combining FatDown and exercise. This was a turning point for increasing sales based on improved brand reliability through consumer experience and a greater awareness of the functions of FatDown. Subsequently, FatDown was upgraded and renewed with new ingredients and concepts to make a fresh new impression with customers.. It was also used by famous models such as the fitness celebrity Jung Da-yeon, Woo Ji-in, celebrity fitness coach Choi Sung-jo, and Ga-hee from the girl group After School. In 2009, it recorded its highest sales and became the top diet brand.
FatDown opened the doors to the healthy diet market.
FatDown hopes not to be simply a functional food, but a leader in Korean l health culture.

After the Mexican War of Independence, San Miguel de Allende became a haven for foreign artists. Bellas Artes, the main art school, is situated around the cloistered courtyard of the Convent of the Immaculate Conception. Sip a drink in the Bellas Artes cafe. Then view David Siqueiros murals, art exhibits, films, and live performances. Instituto Allende, in a 1730s hacienda, has arts and crafts workshops for adults and children, plus Spanish language classes. Combine a month of intensive Spanish lessons at Instituto Allende or Instituto Habla Hispana with a money-saving San Miguel de Allende holiday rental villa, home, casita, apartment, or guest room.
El Jardin Principal is the main plaza where locals gather to sit, stand, chat, and endlessly stroll. El Jardin is surrounded by cafes and restaurants with good outdoor seating for watching plaza daily life slowly unfold. If the slow food service around the plaza grates, consider learning some recipes at nearby Marilau's traditional Mexican cooking school. Save money using your holiday rental kitchen to transform fresh market ingredients into tasty tamales wrapped in banana leaves, moles, salsas, pipianes, and adobos washed down with spicy home-brewed cafe de olla.
Buy fruits, vegetables, medicinal herbs, and cooking utensils at Mercado Ignacio Ramirez, just north of El Jardin. The nearby Mercado de Artesanias sells handicrafts from all over Mexico, and will be fun for the whole family. Several blocks from the city centre, Fabrica La Aurora is a shopping mall with restaurants, books, jewellery, antiques, home furnishings, architects' offices, galleries, artists' studios, and mailing and packaging services to send it all home. Lots of good uses for money saved by choosing a San Miguel de Allende holiday rental.
A mile northeast of town, atop a hill overlooking plush suburbs with holiday rentals, is El Charco del Ingenio. A 220-acre botanical garden and desert "ecological preservation zone" packed with cacti and Mexican plants, El Charco offers botanical illustration classes and 2.5-hour guided tours Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Conclude your holiday rental stay in San Miguel de Allende with an herbal steam bath or a hot springs soak just outside town.

On Thinness and Fat Acceptance (Part 1)
The first thoughts that came into my head were about Malcolm X. Whatever you think of any or all of his messages, he did advance the idea of self-determinism; that a minority group does not have to rely on the majority to represent their voice or be a witness to their experience. He believed that if a group was not protected from hate and bigotry, they must protect themselves. This is why straight people are allies of the LGTBQ community, but not always accepted into every community as a full member of the family. It is about standing up for yourself, because being dependent on another person to approve you or vouch for you in order to be okay is NOT okay.
We as a fat acceptance movement have sometimes needed advocacy from thin people. I remember the introduction to Paul Campos's book, where the publisher would only take the book if Campos was thin. Likewise, Linda Bacon's advocacy success may be based, in part, on the fact that she is thin. Our voices must often be carried by thin people where they normally wouldn't go. This is not a bad thing. These people helped carve out huge chunks of new territory for us to carry the diversity message, and provided us with the strong empiric ammunition we needed to fight the good fight. On the other hand, they have a very different experience and perspective from Marilyn Wann, or Peggy Howell. They acknowledge and fight against size bigotry, but they have not really experienced it.
So when the caller asked this question, he's asking a few things. He's asking whether we are hostile towards thin people. He's asking whether thin people are welcomed as part of the "family". He's asking how a thin person can respectfully lend their support to the movement without co-opting the voices or having personal experience as a target of bigotry. He's asking whether the participation of men is encouraged, threatening, or irrelevant to the movement. It was a damn good, but complex question.
I will be giving my answers to these questions over the next week or so, trying to tackle each area of a complex web of activism and identity. Your mileage may absolutely vary, because there is no "one true way" of any movement. You may have answers to these questions that are very different from mine, because your experience and paradigm are very different from mine.
5 comments:
The first clue is "acceptance". If we want the world to accept us as we are, as people of all degrees of fatness, WE must accept thin people, particularly those who understand what it is we're trying to do. Just as the movement for racial equality attracted support from right-thinking white people, or women's lib welcomed the help of sensible men, so should we accept into our ranks those thin people who truly believe that EVERY body deserves autonomy and respect.
The HAES movement has opened the eyes of a LOT of thin folks. Let's not shut out those who want to help and add their voices.
- February 2, 2012 at 1:47 PM
I think there's a difference between "all are welcome to learn more and work together" and what often happens when people of more privilege join a group dedicated to fighting discrimination against the less-privileged. Probably most of us who've taken women's studies classes have encountered The Guy Who Never Stops Talking About Women's Issues Even When Women Are Trying To Speak. I don't really want to be thinsplained at what it's like to be fat, thanks so much.
So I think a welcoming community that acknowledges the centrality of fat voices is the right answer, as you suggest.
- February 2, 2012 at 7:26 PM
I was in on the telesummit too! so exciting!
I really liked your response to this question, because the answers that Marilyn, Peggy, and Amanda gave were a little too pat (like of COURSE we accept you). I mean, I agreed with them, but you opened up the nuance of why this was a question that needed to be asked in the first place. I look forward to see what else you have to see on the matter in the upcoming posts you mentioned.
- February 2, 2012 at 10:05 PM

I think questions like this are so important. To be asked by a potential ally how they can help an oppressed group, rather than just stepping in and assuming they know how to help is such an amazing thing.
- February 3, 2012 at 4:19 PM
I also really appreciate the thoughtful commentary here. You can also never judge a book by its cover in the FA community. Just because someone is thin does not mean they have never been fat and therefore have a little more insight into the issues at hand than someone who has never experienced the discrimination first hand. Unlike straight allies to the LGBT community, you can have thin people with past experience living as a fat person, so you should never jump to conclusions about someone's sincerity or ability to sympathize. Also, I think when it comes to internal struggles of body hatred just about every woman in america can relate. Some of the most body loathing women I've ever known were thin, and I thought "how can you look in the mirror and still feel these things?? So crazy!".

Local students partner with Adirondack Health for Health Occupations Program
SARANAC LAKE – Under the guidance of Adirondack Health staff, six local high school seniors are building a healthcare career resume by applying classroom work to hands-on experience.
The students are gaining both knowledge and experience through the Health Occupations Program, an educational partnership between Adirondack Health and the Franklin-Essex-Hamilton counties' BOCES program. They begin the program as high school juniors by taking a Nursing Assistant Course to establish a foundation for basic health professional skills. In addition to course work, the students completed 108 hours of direct care at Adirondack Health's Uihlein Living Center in Lake Placid. They then took the New York State Nurse Aide Certification test to become Certified Nurse Aides, with additional certification in Dementia Care.
"The best part, I feel, of this program," said Joy Gonyea, RN, Health Occupations teacher with BOCES, "is that we just don't offer book work, we take it a step further and allow our students to experience what it is like to do actual hands-on work as Student Nursing Assistants at Uihlein Living Center. It's such a valuable combination of anatomy, physiology and medical terminology coupled with actual care experience."
Now in their senior year, the students are enrolled in Electrocardiogram (EKG) and Phlebotomy courses. Classroom work for EKG and Phlebotomy is bolstered by the opportunity to work along side skilled Adirondack Health staff. Upon completion of both courses, they will sit for a national certification exam.
In addition to specific course work and training, students shadow Adirondack Health professionals in the emergency department, medical imaging, ICU, physical therapy, outpatient lab, pharmacy and inpatient areas.
Students in the Health Occupations Class offered through BOCES include Tessa Dell (SL), Nerma Cecunjanin (SL), Amber Drosdowich (SL), Instructor Mrs. Joy Gonyea RN, Ryley Morgan (SL), and Jazmin Piraino (Long Lake).

ST. CHARLES – Jason Pawlowski said he didn't know what to think when, on his first day with the Greater St. Charles Convention and Visitors Bureau, he found a scarecrow finger puppet at his desk.
When he found another one he got an idea.
"Gosh, wouldn't this be a cool thing to be the catalyst to promote Scarecrow
Fest and the businesses and organizations and attractions in greater St. Charles all in one site," said Pawlowski, the bureau's marketing manager and festival liaison.
And thus he launched the blog "Chuck and Char: A Scarecrow's Life," which introduces the puppets as the official correspondents for the 28th annual St. Charles Scarecrow Fest, set to begin Oct. 11.
Since the first post, Pawlowski has taken Chuck and Char to Savers on East Main Street and Arcedium Coffeehouse in downtown, documenting the experience in both words and pictures.
"It's been fun," he said, adding he also is using social media to promote the scarecrows' adventures.
He aims to update the blog two or three times a week, but will increase the frequency as Scarecrow Fest gets closer, he said.
Last year, festival organizers opted to display the scarecrows in three locations instead of in and around Lincoln Park – a decision that some criticized.
This year, all the scarecrows will be on the west side of the Fox River.
Individuals, families, clubs, organizations and businesses may enter the scarecrow contest.
Applications are available at www.scarecrowfest.com.
They are due Sept. 27. Call DeAnn Wagner at 630-377-6161, ext. 102, or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com for information.
Follow the adventures of Chuck and Char at http://ascarecrowslife.wordpress.com. Call Pawlowski at 630-377-6161 ext. 105 to make suggestions about where Chuck and Char should visit.

Alfresco Wins EContent 100 Award For Enterprise Content Management
Alfresco Honored as Leading Provider of Open Source ECM Software
LONDON—November 15, 2007 — Alfresco Software, Inc., today announced it has been named to the seventh annual EContent 100 Awards list. The EContent 100 is made up of companies that have had a significant impact on the digital content industry. Other winners this year include Apple, Google, IBM and Microsoft.
EContent Magazine gives the award to the top 100 companies that lead the digital content industry through market share, but also thought-and-technology leadership, innovation, and experimentation. This is the second year in a row that Alfresco has been chosen as a winner of the EContent 100 for Enterprise Content Management.
"To be recognized once again as a leader in content management reaffirms that Alfresco has created a valuable open source solution that fills a significant need for many businesses," said John Powell, CEO of Alfresco Software. "Companies small and large have to deal with enormous amounts of content. By using open source technology, Alfresco can provide an alternative solution to proprietary offerings, which not only matches up on features and functionality but provides higher quality content management at a fraction of the cost."
"The EContent 100 list represents the best and the brightest digital content companies as selected by a dozen judges who follow different aspects of our vast and varied industry – from vantage points all over the map (literally and figuratively)," said Michelle Manafy, editor-in-chief of EContent Magazine. "We offer this list not just to recognize companies that lead our industry, but to inspire organizations of all kinds to join in the content conversation online."
Alfresco recently announced the integration of Alfresco with Facebook to deliver a platform for developing content-centric applications. This integration makes publishing content to Facebook as controlled and effective as publishing to a corporate Web site. The Alfresco Enterprise Content Network application, which is built on this framework, enables collaboration and makes secure, audited, sharing of content in Facebook as simple as sharing a photo. Alfresco is the first of its kind to launch an enterprise application for Facebook. The company plans to announce details of the newest edition of Alfresco in December of this year.

AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri would gladly welcome Didier Drogba into his first team should the Rossoneri win the race for the Ivory Coast striker.
Reports in Italy have suggested the former Chelsea forward, 34, is ready to terminate his contract with Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua after just seven months and return to Europe as soon as possible.
Juventus are also interested in the Champions League-winning striker, who is reportedly asking for €10 million in wages for an 18-month contract in Italy – €4m for the rest of the current season and another €6m before June 2014.
Milan, meanwhile, have reached a financial impasse over a potential long-term loan deal for Real Madrid midfielder Kaka, with Manchester City's Mario Balotelli currently out of their price range at a reported fee of €28m (£23.5m).
Quoted in the Gazzetta dello Sport, Allegri told Sky Italia: "Champions of his (Drogba) calibre are very welcome. (Vice-president Adriano) Galliani will know if the deal is feasible.
"I'm calm, the club is just thinking about what could help us out and what we could do about it.
"A player like Drogba would certainly improve both the technical level and self-esteem of the team. We'll see what the club are able to do, otherwise we'll carry on as we are, looking to have a good second half of the season because that is our objective.
"It will be difficult, though, because we still have to face some teams with a high level of technical quality."
Milan climbed to sixth place in the Serie A table with Sunday's victory over Bologna, a result that sees the club return to contention for Europe after a disappointing start to the season.

OFWGKTA News: Fat Possum Signs Odd Future's MellowHype
Let the OFWGKTA signings begin: Fat Possum Records has signed MellowHype, the duo of Hodgy Beats and Left Brain from Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All. This news comes on the heels of Tyler the Creator's signing to XL, and no doubt preceding other signings in the OFWGKTA crew as well.
Fat Possum will re-release MellowHype's mixtape BlackenedWhite for remastered CD and LP release this summer, the label reports today. BlackenedWhite was originally one of seven free downloads on OFWGKTA's Tumblr, but coincidentally, the link for the download is no longer working.
Still, any OFWGKTA on vinyl is good news, and good move on Fat Possum for taking a stylistic chance outside their comfort zone. The question now: Who's gonna put out the legit vinyl versions of Earl, Bastard and Radical? 'Cause those LPs would sell like crazy. (Maybe this guy will.)

Hey Hey,
My roommate mentioned this to me about a week ago and I hadn't seen any mention of it here, so I thought I'd pots it.
Basically someone has created a small segment of code that allows the software to determine if it's running on a real computer or in virtual machine hardware such as VMWare or Virtual PC.
The article goes on to cover how to detect both instances of software, including the code to do it and an explanation of how to implement the code.Both Virtual PC and VMWare allow you to install "add-in"s to accelerate emulation, allow drag-n-drop from your real desktop to your virtual desktop, and allow file sharing between your real machine and the virtual machine.
In order to accomplish this task, a communication mechanism between the virtual machine software and the virtual machine itself must exist.
This sort of interfacing is called a "backdoor interfacing", since, using a special/undocumented mechanism, certain commands can be carried and interpreted in a different manner (by the virtual machine software) unlike having them interpreted by the real machine.
Next, I'll be covering how you can tell whether your software is being executed using a real machine or a virtual machine software (covering both Virtual PC and VMWare).
What kind of problems does this create for user that create VM sandboxes and test beds. The malware can now trick the user and lie dormant. Will we now see malware that lies dormant in a VM but comes to life and spread quickly and damages much when running on the host OS? Has anyone seen any software yet that is implementing this code and is it something we have to look forward to in the future?
Anyways... what do ya think? Check out the full article at http://www.codeproject.com/system/Vm...asp?print=true
