U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Worker With Hydrocephalus Fired After Being Denied a Free Job Coach to Assist With Training, Federal Agency Charges
SAN DIEGO - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced it has filed a disability discrimination lawsuit against Kaiser Permanente, the largest managed care organization in the United States, on behalf of a former food service worker with a disability.
Kaiser Permanente initially hired the individual in June 2008 as a food service worker at its San Diego Medical Center facility. The former worker has a medical condition, hydrocephalus, which causes difficulties with memory, dizziness and concentration. According to the EEOC, the worker requested additional training time and the assistance of a temporary job coach so that he might effectively learn his job and perform his job duties. Toward Maximum Independence (TMI), a non-profit organization in San Diego specializing in assisting people with disabilities, was available to provide the temporary job coaching services for the worker free of charge to the employer. However, Kaiser refused to grant the reasonable accommodation request, and instead chose to fire the worker in August 2008, the EEOC said.
Such alleged conduct violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The EEOC filed its suit against Kaiser in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California (EEOC v. Kaiser Foundation Hospitals dba Kaiser Permanente, Case No. 3:13-cv-02062-MMA-WVG), after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The EEOC's suit seeks back pay, compensatory and punitive damages for the former food service worker as well as injunctive relief intended to prevent further discrimination at the hospital.
"Federal law dictates that employees with disabilities are entitled to reasonable accommodations which pose no undue hardship on the employer," said Anna Park, regional attorney for the EEOC's Los Angeles District, which includes San Diego in its jurisdiction. "The EEOC will be ever vigilant to ensure that employers abide by the law."
Marla Stern-Knowlton, local director of the EEOC's San Diego Local Office, said, "Workers with disabilities may need reasonable accommodations to be fully successful on the job. It is an employer's best interest to explore the most effective accommodation options, particularly when there is little or no cost or disruption to business operations. More often than not, the cost of accommodations is minimal, as in this case."
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws against employment discrimination. Further information is available at www.eeoc.gov.

Celine outlet italy debt 8 best stunts from the 'Fast the Furious' No, your eyes aren deceiving you those are cars trying to outrun a submarine in one of the clips from this week The Fate of the Furious.
And nope, you not dreaming Dwayne Johnson Agent Hobbs actually diverts a torpedo with his bare hands in another snippet from the trailer. The latest instalment in the Furious franchise celine red purse will also see the villainous Cipher (Charllize Theron) send cars flying out of buildings and Vin Diesel DominicToretto behind the wheel as his ride goes up in flames. For a series that ups the ante on death defying stunts with each new entry, the Furious films now on number eight are going to have to send cars into space for episodes 9 and 10 (yes, those are happening and no, gravity and physics do not apply to the Fast flicks). Before we see any of that, we rounded up the biggest stunts from the previous seven entries to give our wholly biased take on the eight best scenes in the franchise history. Car Skydiving Furious 7 (2015) Furious 7 included a 22 minute scene that starts with cars parachuting out of a plane, landing and then embarking on an action packed chase sequence. It all ends with Paul Walker Brian O jumping off the side of a bus just before it goes falling off a cliff. The best part of all The stunt was completely real. Ten cars were dropped out of a Lockheed C 130 Hercules plane two Chargers, two Subarus, two Challengers, two Jeeps and two Camaros with the action captured by a mix of skydivers, helicopters and Go Pro cameras. Director James Wan filmed the scene in Arizona, Colorado and Atlanta, and the cars were dropped from varying altitudes. Second unit director stunt coordinator Spiro Razatos talked to Variety about the decision to do the stunt for real instead of using CGI. filmmakers think the audience wants things manipulated with a lot of fake stuff in your face. And it easy for filmmakers to say, fix it later. But is fake. That isn what the audience wants. We said, do it real; that the only way it will feel right. The producers and Universal were great; they trusted us. It high end action, but it real. Even the bus going off a cliff, with a guy running on it that was done real. He had to time his running and he had one shot to do it right. But it turned out great. be honest, Loveridge told Vulture, is probably the most plausible stunt in the whole movie. you don remember, the car jumps from one Abu Dhabi skyscraper to another and when the brakes fail the Lykan makes a jaw dropping leap to a third tower. Loveridge says to make any of these landings, shocks would have to be extremely stiff to avoid bottoming out. you saying there a chance Saving Letty Fast and the Furious 6 (2013) This stunning sequence involves one highway, double bridges, dozens of cars, a tank (yes, a tank) and a gravity defying mid air catch. Dom launches himself celine outlet italy drinking out of his car and soars through the air to grab Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) before she flies off celine bag gray the bridge. The lovers land safely on the hood of a car. The only damage A cracked windshield. Daylight drag race The Fast and the Furious (2001) The celine outlet locations jc original movie is tame by comparison, but watching Dom vs. Brian race (along with the cheesy slo mo beefcake shots) set the stage for the characters 14 year bromance. It a keeper. Car Meets Boat 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) Brian and Roman (Tyrese Gibson) showed that boats have nothing on a Camaro as they made the jump from land to sea (on a moving yacht no less) in this Vin less sequel. Bank Vault Heist Fast Five (2011) A bank vault gets dragged around the streets of Rio De Janeiro by a couple of Dodge Chargers like a waterskier on Lake Muskoka. This is one of the series best stunts, but physicist Dr. Randall Kelley told best celine bags Vulture that it would take 467 cars to replicate this in real life. Still, the filmmakers and stunt team did drag around a replica instead of using CGI. been doing this 33 years, and I never been as proud of a sequence. I think that the best thing I probably ever done in my career, stunt coordinator Jack Gill told EW in 2011. Train Rescue Fast Five (2011) There a lot of moving parts on this one. After barreling his Corvette out of a moving train, Dom races to rescue Brian, who is clinging to the side of a burning wreck embedded in another freight car. Brian sticks the jump (naturally) and the two dive into a river after they narrowly miss an explosive collision with the bridge. Oil Tanker Escape Fast Furious (2009) As Letty clings to the back of an oil tanker, Dom reverses his Buick Grand National alongside to save her.
The stunt could have ended with Letty back in the car, but the flaming rig comes loose and starts tumbling towards them. What does Dom do He times it perfectly and glides his car safely underneath the fiery wreck. .

Best storage products of 2004
Our third annual Products of the Year presents 15 products that could transform the way you manage storage. The editors of Storage and SearchStorage.com, along with a panel of industry experts, selected these standout products based on innovation and value, among other criteria.
As in past years, the 2004 Products of the Year awards vividly reflect the innovation in our industry. Each of the winning products solves real-world problems and makes your company's data more secure and accessible. And this year's awards prove that larger, older and more established companies don't have a monopoly on innovation.
Vendors and users alike are grappling with how to spread the benefits of storage networking beyond today's implementations. That means tackling WAN distribution problems, enabling greater consolidation, meeting lower cost points, simplifying complex environments, and improving manageability, data protection and availability. That's a long wish list, but this year's winners largely meet many of those goals.
As always, entrants are judged on six criteria:
- Innovation
- Performance
- Ease of integration into existing environments
- Manageability
- Functionality
- Value
Backup Hardware
Disk & Disk Subsystems
Networking Equipment
Storage Management
Backup & Disaster Recovery Software
Data protection is at the top of most storage managers' minds these days, especially in companies where information fuels not only business decisions but the business itself. XOsoft Inc., Burlington, MA, has carved a niche out of the burgeoning data protection market with a small arsenal of business-continuity products.
WANSyncHA, the latest incarnation of XOsoft's remote replication package, continuously replicates data to a local or remote site and provides automatic failover to ensure uninterrupted access. WANSyncHA's innovation is evident from the start, with its non-disruptive agent installation that doesn't require rebooting servers or stopping applications.
WANSyncHA runs on Windows, Linux and Sun operating system servers. Application-specific versions for Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server and Oracle databases provide services such as the autodiscovery of database files and network configurations. WANSyncHA is hardware-agnostic and operates with nearly any storage system.
The server agent software monitors all changes to files and directories in the server's file system and records changes to a journal. The journals are then used to synchronize the master data and replica data over a LAN or a WAN.
When synchronizing replica data with master data, WANSyncHA compares the data at the two servers and sends only the changes to minimize WAN traffic. WANSyncHA can also sense slow connections and spool changes until sufficient bandwidth is regained; updates interrupted by lost connections will recover and resume when the connection is re-established.
WANSyncHA can be configured in a many-to-one arrangement where a single replica at a remote site serves multiple masters. For more resilient disaster recovery, WANSyncHA can be used in a "tree" structure to create multiple replicas at disparate sites.
In a crowded disaster recovery market, WANSyncHA is "outstanding data protection solution," said one judge, who cited its "high innovation, high functionality, high performance and high value." And with a price tag that starts at approximately $5,200 to $10,000 per license, it's also a cost-effective approach to disaster recovery.
While disaster recovery is a prime concern, many companies are seeking ways to avoid disaster. Confronted by a slew of data-retention regulations, companies have turned to technology to help them ensure compliance. Cambridge, MA-based Permabit Inc.'s Permeon Compliance Vault (PCV) 1.2 answers the call by providing an effective way to lock down corporate data and rein in compliance costs.
At the heart of PCV is content-addressable storage (CAS) technology, which breaks data into chunks and then uses hashing algorithms to give each chunk a unique identifier. These chunks of data are retained in their original state and can't be altered or duplicated; digital certificates can be used to prove the data hasn't been changed. PCV works with any storage hardware, turning any type of disk media into secure write once, ready many (WORM) storage.
Fault tolerance is built in, with the ability to replicate protected data to other locations. As PCV secures data, it also distributes it across available disks to balance the load and provide fast retrieval.
Calling Permabit "one of the leaders in this space," one judge extolled PCV's "outstanding ease of use, and exceptional CAS and data protection integration." With a starting price of $25,000 for a 2TB configuration, plus $12,500 for each additional 1TB increment, PCV offers an inexpensive route to compliance that can leverage already-installed disk capacity.
Dollars and sense are the key virtues Toronto-based Asigra Inc.'s Televaulting brings to remote backup software. Televaulting breaks ground with volume-based pricing and sheer practicality, and it scores big with its agentless architecture.
Televaulting's DS-System, a dedicated server located at the central site, collects backup data from each remote site's DS-Client server. The DS-Client is a commodity box running Windows or Linux attached to the local network; it discovers all connected servers and desktop PCs, and can back up any or all of them.
The DS-Client examines the collected data to weed out duplicate files and find changes to existing data. The backup sets are then compressed to bandwidth-friendly dimensions, encrypted and shipped over the WAN to the central DS-System. Data collected by the DS-System can then be backed up using normal data center procedures and software.
Asigra's agentless architecture means installation and upgrades involve only one machine at each site. And because users pay according to data volume, the number of devices that can be backed up is unlimited. "Agentless backup is incredibly innovative," noted one judge, adding that the product's "pricing is market disruptive."
Administration is centralized, so little--if any--training is required at remote sites. The built-in billing and chargeback system can be used to distribute backup costs. But with prices starting at a modest $11,250, departments aren't likely to object to paying their fair share (see Pay-as-you-go remote backup).
Disk-based backup arrived in 2004, and Southborough, MA-based Sepaton Inc.'s S2100-ES Virtual Tape Library (VTL) appliance led the parade of products that confirmed disk-based backup's role in the data center.
Sepaton's VTL supports both ATA and SATA drives, and emulates almost any LTO, DLT and AIT tape drive. Scalability isn't much of an issue as the S2100-ES uses its own scalable replication engine, which starts at 3.5TB and can grow to 200TB.
Sepaton says its box is capable of 150MB/sec to 900MB/sec transfer rates and can back up 1.6TB per hour. "It is incredibly fast, scalable and uniquely understands what's in the backups it is receiving," one judge gushed. "This allows it to create an index of the data and perform synthetic backups, which simplifies recovery by consolidating incremental backups into one complete backup."
Synthetic backups are similar to Tivoli Storage Manager's incremental backups--where only changed data is moved during a full backup. But Sepaton takes this notion a step further. Because the S2100 knows where and what the backups are with its "content-aware architecture," it creates a new volume using pointers instead of recreating the data entirely. This method cuts the time needed for full backups and frees up application servers and the network which, in turn, leads to faster restores.
The S2100 is certified to work with backup software from BakBone Software Inc., CommVault Systems Inc., EMC Corp./Legato, IBM Tivoli and Veritas Software Corp.
The starting price for an S2100 is $58,000. Not chump change but, nevertheless, a bargain when your backup window shrinks an order of magnitude over conventional backup methods. And, yes, all restores are much quicker as well.
Network Appliance (NetApp) Inc.'s NearStore R200 is the first disk-based backup product that achieved a critical mass with users. Shipped in December 2003, our judges didn't forget it.
"The NearStore R200 allows the user to take advantage of all of the wonderful replication capabilities of Network App's snapshot applications using very low-cost disk. They were one of the first, if not the first, with this technology," said one judge.
The R200 comes with a 14-drive disk shelf with SATA/FC-AL disks and scales from 8TB to 96TB. Prices start at $7.00/GB for a low-end system, but it's flying out of NetApp's door. According to ESG, NetApp shipped nearly 35PB of R200 storage since the product's inception.
Imagine a world where removable disk and tape can reside in the same enclosure--and you can take them both on the road, too.
Stop imagining. The RAID eXchangeable TeraPack (RXT) from Spectra Logic Corp., Boulder, CO, does all that and more. Each shoebox-sized RXT can hold up to 12 2.5-inch SATA disks or two 3.5-inch disks, providing up to 960GB per TeraPack enclosure. The packs offer RAID 0, 1 and 5; act like LTO-2; and work with most major backup software products.
If you want to use this at a remote office, just buy a standalone RTX docking station with its portable media. Then when you get back to the main data center, you can plug it into a T950 and reuse the RXT. Or it can be used to transfer data to a server, rack or otherwise.
"Spectra Logic started with a clean sheet of paper and has delivered a pretty innovative solution that combines the benefits of tape [removability, relative low-cost, long-term reliability] with disk [faster access, RAID protection]," said one judge. "And the library supports all major tape drives, tape media and network connectivity types."
Hitachi Data Systems' (HDS) TagmaStore Universal Storage Platform (USP), the successor to HDS' Lightning 9900 V series, considerably ups the ante of what a storage area network (SAN) array can do.
Our judges gave TagmaStore very high marks for its innovation. TagmaStore isn't only a high-performance block storage array, it can also virtualize Hitachi and selected third-party storage devices attached to it. In other words, it's possible to access TagmaStore's internal storage as well as externally hosted storage through a single interface.
Virtualization isn't new, but embedding it into a storage array is. Unlike virtualization pioneers such as DataCore Software Corp. and FalconStor Software Inc., or more recent entrants like IBM's TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller, HDS has foregone putting virtualization in the network in the form of an appliance or as part of an intelligent switch. Instead, the virtualization capabilities reside in the "control unit," as HDS puts it. This allows TagmaStore users to employ the same software functionality they are familiar with from HDS Lightning arrays, and apply it to any virtualized storage managed by TagmaStore. Harnessing the power of virtualization without having to learn a new system is a big win.
Then there are TagmaStore's performance specs, which are not too shabby. HDS says its top-of-the-line model boasts an incredible 2 million I/Os per second; 81GB/sec aggregate internal bandwidth; scalability to 32PB (that's right, petabytes) of capacity, including 332TB of internal storage; and up to 192 Fibre Channel, 64 ESCON or 48 FICON ports. TagmaStore also has an innovative cache partitioning feature that allows you to carve up TagmaStore storage resources for various servers. This allows you to guarantee an application a certain level of service.
Powered by the third-generation Universal Star Network Crossbar Switch architecture, TagmaStore comes in three models: the USP1100, the USP600 and the entry-level USP100. But be forewarned; this power and innovation doesn't come cheap. (For more on the TagmaStore, see HDS reinvents high-end arrays).
Adaptec's Snap Server 18000 is targeted squarely at small- to medium-sized businesses. The device is a combination block (iSCSI) and file array based on technology acquired from Snap Appliance, San Jose, CA, which is now a division of Adaptec. It scored highly for ease of use, integration and, of course, value.
Priced at less than $5/GB, Snap Server 18000 scales to 30TB. That price is achieved by using low-cost serial ATA disk drives (hot swappable), but the array also packs in RAID 5, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, redundant power and cooling, and UPS support. Then there's the software: BakBone Software Inc.'s NetVault backup and restore, and Computer Associates International's eTrust Antivirus and snapshot software.
Snap Server's Instant Capacity Expansion (I.C.E.) feature lets users expand capacity simply by plugging in another storage shelf, which is automatically recognized and added to the pool. Adaptec says setup and integration can be performed in less than 30 minutes, thanks to its reliance on the ubiquitous Ethernet infrastructure.
A network-attached storage (NAS) startup that received high praise from our judges for innovation and performance, New York City-based Exanet Inc. aims its product at shops requiring high-performance and highly scalable file storage. In benchmark tests last fall, the company clocked a six-node cluster at more than 200,000 operations per second on a single file system NAS system. ExaStore's distributed file system and distributed coherent caching allow the system to scale linearly in terms of performance, capacity and bandwidth.
ExaStore software is hardware-independent, but the firm offers several preconfigured systems--the EX200, EX400, EX600 and EX800. In addition to support for NFS and CIFS, it supports the Apple File Protocol and boasts integration with Veritas' NetBackup, EMC's Legato NetWorker, and digital media applications such as Adobe, Dalim, Helos, Prinergy, Quark and Xinet. But when one judge noted the premium pricing, he wasn't kidding. List price for a SATA-based 10TB, two-node configuration is $125,000.
In an industry dominated by proprietary solutions, Lowell, MA-based Acopia Networks Inc.'s ARX 1000 and ARX 6000 switches create a unified storage pool with a global namespace from disparate NAS devices. It's a less-expensive, easier way to manage NAS, and the switches can also move less-critical files onto tiered storage platforms.
With a single pool of Unix/Linux NFS and Microsoft CIFS files, storage administrators can make changes to the composition or location of storage resources in the pool without disrupting users or changing client configurations.
The benefits of a single storage pool are huge: It becomes a no-brainer to establish policies delivered through the in-band ARX switches for fine-grained file management, such as capacity balancing and information lifecycle management (ILM). An administrator, for example, can set policies to migrate files from primary to secondary storage based on file type, file age, frequency of access or other criteria.
"This is the first product to put NAS virtualization within an Ethernet switch," one judge wrote. "It delivers lots of functionality, excellent performance and value."
Speaking of performance, any in-band device that's making real-time decisions in an enterprise-class network needs to be fast and have exceptionally low latency. In a recent test conducted by the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), Milford, MA, the Acopia switches achieved 600,000 file operations per second and 2.6GB/sec of throughput while incurring 0.5% insertion latency. "The performance and scale of the Acopia products comfortably exceed the capabilities of any single traditional NAS system," ESG reported.
Because they reside smack in the middle of the network, ARX switches can adjust to client access or network conditions. For example, if users consistently access certain files across a WAN link, a policy might automatically move those files to storage closer to users to minimize WAN traffic and improve access times. Another benefit of an in-band device is that there's no need to install (and manage) agents on hosts or storage devices. And security poses no problem for the switches because all client permissions are passed through to the particular device where the files reside.
In a world of rapidly proliferating NAS boxes, Acopia brings a sensible, elegant way to manage NAS capacity and has the switch smarts to implement tiered storage at the network layer (see Acopia adds intelligence to the network).
the price of bandwidth is dropping, but it's still one of the largest expenses for an IT organization. Exponential data growth and new regulations have combined to place added pressure on storage applications to meet geographically dispersed user requirements. When a TCP/IP WAN has a typical packet loss of approximately 1%, data protection windows for operations such as volume replications can be missed. Packet loss is a direct result of bit error rate (BER), jitter, network congestion, distance, router buffer overruns and multiple service providers.
By eliminating or reducing TCP/ IP network degradation, Network Executive (NetEx) Software Inc.'s HyperIP accelerates application throughput, the company claims, from 300% to 1,000% compared to the transmission rate of typical IP networks. HyperIP's compression can increase that throughput an additional two to 15 times, depending on the data's compressibility. Of course, your mileage will vary, but those are pretty impressive numbers.
Said one judge: "[HyperIP] solves a costly market problem. [It's] a unique product that is very easy to use and manage. The value is exceptional." Users simply plug the HyperIP appliance into their IP switch and assign the storage applications to accelerate. HyperIP works with any IP-based storage application, and has been certified with EMC's SRDF Adaptive Copy, IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager, Microsoft's Exchange NetBios, Network Appliance's SnapMirror, Oracle Corp.'s databases, and Veritas Software's Volume Replicator and NetBackup.
For companies looking to reduce backup windows and increase productivity, HyperIP can help them to achieve those objectives.
QLogic Corp.'s SANbox 5200 is the first stackable switch featuring 10Gb FC technology. Starting at $5,795 for an eight-port configuration, the SANbox 5200 comes with many ease-of-use features such as wizards for installation, configuration and zoning. QLogic's bundled management application--SANsurfer Management Suite--also simplifies stack management by allowing users to monitor status, diagnose problems and perform upgrades from one application.
The SANbox 5200 can scale to 64 ports (you only pay for the ports you use) and delivers the performance of a modular switch. A single, 10Gb inter-switch link (ISL) ensures low latency between switches and eliminates the cost and complexity of trunking 2Gb ports. And the SANbox 5200 features non-disruptive code load and activation, so a user can install firmware upgrades without the need to reboot the system.
According to one judge, the SANbox 5200 "is incredibly easy to use, with all the SAN functionality you could ask for at a very low price. It makes SANs a no-brainer [for small businesses or remote offices]."
Onaro Inc.'s SANscreen predictive change management software, the only product of its kind available today, troubleshoots problems caused by changes to SANs. Its analysis simulation capabilities can predict the impact of alterations made to a storage network before they occur.
It uses root-cause analysis to detect and advise how to fix errors before, during and after changes are made. "It helped us to more easily see the complex access paths, relationships and interdependencies within our [1,000-port] SAN," said Robert Shinn, a principal at State Street Global Advisors. He also uses SANscreen to record changes for audit purposes and regulatory compliance.
The SANscreen server runs on Windows 2000; clients run on Windows, Unix or Mac OS X Java-enabled machines. No other software is required in the network. It performs its discovery out-of-band or off the portion of the network that handles live data. Onaro claims that SANscreen supports all leading storage equipment. Pricing for a perpetual license starts at $125 per port; a subscription license is $64 a year per port.
If you manage a large SAN, SANscreen is a tool you need for all the obvious reasons. It blows the doors off anything else in the storage network management space.
Release 5.0 of StorageX has solidified Houston-based NuView Inc.'s position as a pioneer in global namespace technology amid a host of new competitors entering this market.
A global namespace acts as a logical layer that sits between clients and file systems for the purpose of aggregating multiple, geographically dispersed heterogeneous file systems. It then presents file information to users and applications in a single, logical view.
The benefits of a global namespace are clear and compelling: Users (and applications) are shielded from physical storage complexities. Administrators can add, move, rebalance and reconfigure physical storage without affecting how users view and access it. And it provides a platform for developing functions such as data migration, server consolidation and disaster recovery.
Enhancements in release 5.0 include byte-level file differential replication, which avoids replicating entire files that tax WAN bandwidth and storage capacity; policy-based provisioning; integration with Network Appliance's NearStore for disaster recovery purposes; and the ability to create a tiered architecture.
"StorageX solves an important NAS management problem," said one judge. "By pooling NAS filers into a single image, it greatly reduces management disruptions and cost."
Performance Tuner, from Softek Storage Solutions Inc., Vienna, VA., identifies existing, as well as potential, storage bottlenecks and component failures. However, it adds a new capability not commonly found in storage resource management (SRM) suites--storage admins can analyze whether metrics are related. For instance, they can analyze whether problems on a database server are connected to the saturation of an ISL in their SAN environment.
The ability to look at any two devices and see if there is a causal effect of one on the performance of the other is a unique feature. It's also one that puts users in a position to take an active management role in tuning the performance of the storage network supporting their critical applications (see Softek's Tuner strikes an SRM chord).

Hot show on a cold night!Loved the show. Me, my son , daughter, and her boyfriend went to the show. Bono waved to us while arriving as we waited in line at the Red Zone gate. Best song for me was Zoopora. Cold night, but a hot show! We were only about 30 feet from the stage in the center area and had a great view. Second time i have seen them in Winnipeg. Hope to see them again.

Dublin, Chicago, Los Angeles,Winnipeg, SOur group has seen the tour in 5 venues beginning at Croke Park in Dublin. This time we brought 6 adults, 9 kids, 2 vans, 8 hours drive time, and a cavity search at the border. it was all worth it. Great job boys. Having fans read lyrics from BTO at just the right time added a special local touch to the show. See in you Minneapolis!

U2 AMAZING Concert for ALLThe concert exceeded expectations, even considering we were at the Elevation tour in Toronto. The bonus was having the Canadian Snow Birds buzz the stadium just before the show began. We have been fans since the early days of U2 and introduced our 10 year old son to the music. I think we ruined him for future concerts since it will be hard to compare anything else to this concert. Fabulous job!!! Look forward to future concerts and to being inspired to be better citizens of the world. U2 ROCKS
30 May, 2011
U2 Rocked the Peg!!!It was a great night. The claw, huge video screen and production were all top notch but best of all was listening to the band rock the house all night long. I have been a fan for many years but to see them live was such an unforgettable experience. Set list was great and I was so pumped that they played Miss Sarajevo (one of my all time favorites). Thanks for including Winnipeg in the U2360 tour!
30 May, 2011
BEAUTIFUL NIGHT IN WINNPEGWOW, even better than the real thing! Great show as usual, thanks for the memories...
30 May, 2011
Even Better than BeforeI saw the 360 show in Chicago in Sept. of 09, it was amazing. So good in fact I had to go to it again. Winnipeg was my choosen location. Last nights show in Winnipeg was amazing. Even better than the first time in Chicago. Thanks for the wonderful time. All I heard leaving last night was how amazing it was. I agree.

Welcome back matesMy Name is Mark Souce I like to think I am Winnipeg Manitoba's biggest u2 fan here is why. it was June 12th 1997 when Isaw U2 for the first time I was not a big fan but after the show I had to make room for a 2nd fav band of mine with the Cure being the other band i saw U2 a second time in Miniapolis on the Vertigo Tour in 2005 and a 3rd time in Chicago on there current 360 tour in 2009 was interveiwed by the Chicago tribune and I am seeing U2 3 times in 2011 first show will be Denver Colorado the 2nd show will be in my hoem town of Winnipeg I was also interveiwd by CTV Winnipeg for the upcoming Winnipeg U2 show on May 29th 2011 I hope who in the u2 managment who read this that maybe they can set up a meeting so I can meet the band.See you all on May 29th welcome back Larrry Adam,Edge and Bono.
22 March, 2011
Flood prayersIn 1997, when the band graced the stage at CanadInns Stadium, Bono referenced the "mighty red" as communities around the province battled the infamous 'flood of the century'. On May 29th this year, as U2 takes the same stage, the very same river will once again be testing the strength of all communities it passes through. I look forward to the concert...will be a spiritual boost in troubled times. Thanks to the band and management for choosing Winnipeg as a stop.

U2 IN WINNIPEGFinally back in the PEG! It's been toooo..long since POP MART? Can't wait!
21 October, 2010
Greener Pastures and Warmer ClimatesI bought my tickets this morning for the Winnipeg, Canada show and am already anticipating the event - even if it is 7 months away. Hoping though that the lads do indeed extend the tour past July 2011, and book shows in my home town of Belfast, Northern Ireland (Greener Pastures) or where my brother has lived for the past ten years, Honolulu, Hawaii (Warmer Climate). Best of both worlds really - visiting home, visiting family and seeing a U2 Concert. Cuir do lámh i mo láimh, agus ná féach siar go deo (Put your hand in my hand, and never look back). Sláinte, Greg.
20 October, 2010
IT'S A DREAM COME TRUEU2 coming to Winnipeg!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't be happier. This is going to be my moment. I have loved the band since I was a teenager...and will never stop loving them.

TMA Scores Long-sought Wins for Physicians and Patients
The Texas Medical Association has long beat the drum for bolstering graduate medical education (GME), cutting red tape that hinders patient care, promoting transparent insurance markets, and preventing unqualified health professionals from delivering care outside their expertise. This was the year those and other messages got through to lawmakers and paid off in long-sought, even precedent-setting victories at the conclusion of the 2013 Texas Legislature.
As this article was prepared, all of TMA's priority bills either became law or were on their way to Gov. Rick Perry's desk for signature following House and Senate approval. He has 20 days to act, whether signing it into law, vetoing it, or allowing the legislation to become law without signature.
Key milestones include:
Medicine's success this session was due largely to seeds TMA planted early on, says Darren Whitehurst, TMA's vice president for advocacy.
"We took a very good preventive approach," he said. "We did a good job educating legislators back in their districts before the session. We had a good game plan in the political cycle in getting elected people who look to their doctors to understand medicine's issues. And that paid dividends in the legislature."
Even though not all of TMA's bills made it to the finish line, medicine did not lose any ground, TMA leaders add.
Additional money to boost Medicaid physician payment rates never materialized, but rates were not reduced. Reforms to the Texas Medical Board and medical liability laws stayed intact. Heated debates halted compromise end-of-life legislation put forth by prominent pro-life and religious groups in Texas in collaboration with TMA, hospitals, and disability groups. But physicians still have access to existing safe harbors under the Texas Advance Directives Act for resolving conflicts out of court without being forced to violate their moral beliefs and professional ethics.
A Better Budget Lawmakers really only have one required task each session, and that's to pass a state budget. Coming off of a grueling 2011 legislative session that resulted in deep cuts for health care, it seemed there was only room for improvement. Overall, TMA leaders say those expectations were met.
With an estimated surplus of $8.8 billion and a healthy $11.8 billion Rainy Day Fund, lawmakers did not have as tight a budget to deal with and got down to business in drafting a spending plan earlier than usual. Even though legislators still took every remaining day of the session to finalize it, medicine emerged with reparations to last session's harsh cuts amid competing interests to increase funding for education and water and infrastructure needs.
As it heads to the governor's desk, Senate Bill 1 by Sen. Tommy Williams (R-The Woodlands) and Rep. Jim Pitts (R-Waxahachie) spends roughly $197 billion in state and federal funding. The bill increases spending for mental health and women's health services and takes steps to reverse some of the GME funding lost last session.
Overall, GME funding was pieced together in the budget and through additional legislation.
GME formula funding, which took a 31-percent hit last session, was restored in the budget with a 15-percent, or $9.5 million, increase over the 2012-13 biennium. House Bill 1025, a supplemental appropriations bill, includes additional money to increase GME residency slots in Texas.
Lawmakers also restored the Family Medicine Residency and State Physician Loan Repayment programs, which were all but eliminated in the last budget cycle. "The quickest way to get physicians out to underserved areas is to offer loan repayment," TMA Associate Director for Advocacy Michelle Romero said.
Senate Bill 143 by Sen. Jane Nelson (R-Flower Mound), which would have established a new grant program at the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for new GME positions and set up additional grants to help hospitals fill unused slots, did not cross the finish line, but some provisions were added to House Bill 2550.
This session was the first in a long time in which lawmakers took a hard look at GME in Texas and its impact on ensuring an adequate physician workforce, Ms. Romero says.
Medical education also will get a boost with approval of new medical schools in Austin and the Rio Grande Valley. TMA also helped stop off-shore medical schools from buying up clerkship spots in Texas hospitals and repealed a 2011 law that forced international medical graduates to spend three years working in only medically underserved areas.
Mental health services funding will see one of the largest increases in recent history with more than $225 million in new money targeting a wide array of initiatives to address Texas' mental health needs, including prevention, early identification, community-based services, and inpatient hospital care. That includes $25 million to promote private-public partnerships to improve mental health care delivery.
Women's health services also saw important gains that made up for drastic cuts during last session's budget crunch and a loss of more than $30 million in annual federal funding after the 2011 legislature voted to exclude Planned Parenthood from the former state-federal Women's Health Program. Texas has since replaced it with the state-only Texas Women's Health Program (TWHP).
Women's health funding also was pieced together through several funding streams. In addition to restoring much of the federal family planning funding that the Department of State Health Services lost in 2011, SB 1 allocated more money for preventive care under the Community Primary Care Services Program and for women's health and family planning services. Lawmakers also fully funded the TWHP.
Medicaid Expansion a Bust; Progress on ReformsMedicaid reform and expansion stole some of the spotlight this session, and while TMA made progress on the former, the latter went nowhere due to stiff Republican opposition to growing the program as proposed under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).
Medicaid physician payment rates went untouched, as lawmakers grappled with adequately funding the program and its increasing caseloads. Meanwhile, a supplemental spending bill covered the $4.5 billion shortfall in the Medicaid program for this year after the 2011 legislature intentionally underfunded it.
Expansion efforts were scuttled, however, including a controversial rider tacked onto the Senate's version of the budget that would have allowed the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to negotiate state-based reforms with the federal government and draw down millions of dollars made available under PPACA. House Bill 3791, a similar bill filed by Rep. John Zerwas, MD (R-Simonton), failed. Left standing, however, was a rider attached to a Medicaid managed care bill, Senate Bill 7, which requires legislative authorization before HHSC or the governor can develop and seek approval for any waiver request to provide Medicaid coverage to currently noncovered populations in Texas.
TMA continues to support a Texas-specific plan that allows the state to take advantage of extra federal dollars to cover the working poor under Medicaid and that includes significant reforms to the program. Expansion talks may have stalled, but that didn't stop TMA from making headway on the kind of changes physicians say are critical to attracting doctors back to the ailing program.
One significant step in that direction was Senate Bill 1803 by Sen. Joan Huffman (R-Houston) and Rep. Lois Kolkhorst (R-Brenham), which improves due process and expediency when a physician is accused of Medicaid fraud or overpayments. The bill tamps down controversial HHSC regulations released in 2012 by adding some clarity to the definition of a "credible allegation of fraud" and establishing timelines for the Office of Inspector General (OIG) to notify doctors of an investigation and hold payments in the process.
Ms. Romero says the bill represents some improvement over the original rules, but does not go far enough to give physicians adequate due process and transparency in the OIG's process. The good news, she says, is HHSC and some legislative committees committed to oversee and report back on the Medicaid fraud investigative process, and the OIG has offered to work with TMA on other fixes through the rulemaking process.
"If anything, this [session] did shine a light on the lack of due process, and we have champions [in the legislature] and hope to get better rulemaking in the interim," Ms. Romero said.
Other Medicaid reforms were included in Senate Bill 1150 by Sen. Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa (D-McAllen), which requires HHSC to include a "provider protection plan" in its Medicaid HMO contracts to ensure plans pay claims properly and promptly, or face penalties. TMA leaders say such safeguards are especially important as lawmakers continue to eye Medicaid managed care expansions as a way of generating program savings. Senate Bill 7, for example, by Senator Nelson, expands Medicaid HMOs to people with intellectual and development disabilities and nursing home residents, among other provisions.
Red Tape Reduced; "Silent PPOs" SilencedThe red tape for physicians doesn't stop with Medicaid. Some key TMA-backed bills breezed through the legislature to help physician practices improve efficiency and gain back valuable time and money spent away from patient care. Other bills, despite some hiccups along the way, passed the final week of session.
Beginning Sept. 1, physicians and their staff can check in patients using the electronic strip on the back of their Texas driver's license, thanks to the governor's early approval of Senate Bill 166 by Sen. Robert Deuell, MD (R-Greenville), and Rep. Lyle Larson (R-San Antonio).
Backlogs at the Department of Public Safety (DPS) are likely a thing of the past, thanks to House Bill 1803 by Rep. Bill Callegari (R-Katy) and Senator Huffman. Effective Jan. 1, 2014, renewal of the DPS Controlled Substances Registration will become part of physicians' online medical license renewal at the Texas Medical Board.
Physicians also can look forward to a day when they don't have to deal with hundreds of different prior authorization forms from multiple payers. Senate bills 644 and 1216 require the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) to appoint stakeholder workgroups to design standardized prior authorization forms for prescription drugs and health care services, respectively, across public and private payers.
Privacy training and compliance standards also will be streamlined under Senate bills 1609 and 1610 by Sen. Charles Schwertner, MD (R-Georgetown). The bills, a collective effort between TMA and the Texas Medical Liability Trust, refine and clarify a related law passed last session by aligning state training requirements with federal rules and by closing loopholes that threatened to subject physicians to multiple state privacy standards.
Nor will physicians have to deal with surprise hassles when companies or secondary networks sell, lease, or share their privately contracted discounts without permission, thanks to new regulations on these silent PPOs.
Several sessions in the making, Senate Bill 822 by Senator Schwertner and Rep. Craig Eiland (D-Galveston) establishes rules to identify these companies, subjects them to TDI oversight, and regulates how a physician's contract information may be shared among entities, including obtaining doctors' express authority to engage in such activities. The new law takes effect Sept. 1, 2013.
"These silent PPO practices mislead patients and cause needless, costly hassles for physicians who fall victim to them. The legislation was TMA's No. 1 priority this session for establishing fair and transparent insurance markets for patients, employers, and physicians," TMA President Stephen L. Brotherton, MD, said.
Similarly, Senate Bill 1221 by Sen. Ken Paxton (R-McKinney) ensures physicians know when their discounted contract rates under Medicaid managed care or the Children Health Insurance Program (CHIP) are applied to other products.
Meanwhile, testimony by TMA physicians helped deter a swath of bills that would have required physicians to give patients up-front binding quotes of the price of their care and subject them to both financial penalties and medical board sanctions for deviating from those quotes. TMA supports transparency in health care pricing, but testified such approaches could be administratively burdensome, especially when it is impossible for physicians to predict all the medical services a patient may need, not only by that physician or health care provider but also by other physicians.
Scope, Immunization SuccessesThis session also was marked by a flurry of scope-of-practice bills by allied health professionals looking to practice beyond their expertise, whether it was chiropractors attempting to conduct mental and physical examinations of school bus drivers, physical therapists seeking direct access to patients without a diagnosis, or pharmacists trying to vaccinate children.
Those efforts went nowhere, however, due to TMA's vigilance at the Capitol and to a new collaborative standard TMA and key lawmakers set for addressing scope-of-practice issues.
Senate Bill 406 replaces current site-based restrictions for prescriptive delegation and supervision with a more flexible, collaborative model for physician-led, team-based care. The legislation resulted from months of negotiations among TMA, the Texas Academy of Family Physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, and physician assistants spearheaded by Senator Nelson and Representative Kolkhorst.
TMA never deviated from the core principle that diagnosing and prescribing remain the practice of medicine, TMA Director of Legislative Affairs Dan Finch says. However, by bringing together various parties on a pre-session compromise, "what we did was change the conversation. Now we have a process and a model for future scope-of-practice discussions."
Similarly, a compromise TMA struck last session with hospital groups over employment paid dividends this year, he says. Whereas last session medicine contended with more than 20 hospital employment bills, this year there were two, both of which adhered to the 2011 legislation that limited direct hiring to rural areas and mandated protections for physicians' independent medical judgment in employment scenarios, among other provisions.
In another scope win, beginning Jan. 1, 2014, physicians and nonphysicians must wear a badge displaying their name, title, photo identification, the department of the hospital they are associated with, and their status as a student, intern, trainee, or resident. With more practitioners pursuing doctorate degrees and using the title "doctor," the law will help patients know who is treating them and those practitioners' qualifications, TMA leaders say.
The Lone Star State also took a "major step forward" in expanding access to immunizations, TMA Associate Director for Advocacy Troy Alexander says. In addition to these public health advances, TMA also led the way in making progress on childhood obesity and in escalating the cost of tobacco to prevent future use, top priorities for the Texas Public Health Coalition, of which TMA is a member.
Rolled into an omnibus franchise tax bill, House Bill 500 helps primary care physicians provide vaccinations by allowing them to deduct the cost of purchasing and stocking vaccines from their taxable revenue. The legislation also provides tax breaks to small businesses, which includes many physician practices. TMA also worked to preserve existing physician exemptions in the law related to Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, Workers' Compensation, and other government payers.
Senate Bill 63 by Senator Nelson and rookie physician Rep. J.D. Sheffield, DO (R-Gatesville), allows a minor who is pregnant or a parent to consent to his or her own immunizations. Senate Bill 64, also by Senator Nelson and Representative Zerwas, requires licensed child care facilities to develop and implement an immunization policy for their employees to protect the children in their care from vaccine-preventable diseases.
Another pair of measures aim to further antiobesity efforts by targeting nutrition and physical activity. House Bill 217 by Rep. Carol Alvarado (D-Houston) and Sen. Carlos Uresti (D-San Antonio) reduces the types of sugar-sweetened drinks sold in Texas' public schools, such as sodas, sweetened whole milk, and electrolyte drinks. The state budget also includes additional money to keep the state "FitnessGram" program alive in schools and to collect data to address the state's obesity epidemic.
The August issue of Texas Medicine will have details of TMA's 2013 legislative victories.

FreeBSD is in need of a new linux_base port. It is on my TODO list since a long time, but I do not get the time to create one. I still do not have the time to work on a new one, but when you read this, I managed to get the time to create a HOWTO which describes what needs to be done to create a new linux_base port.
I will not describe how to create a new linux_base port from scratch, I will just describe how you can copy the last one and update it to something newer based upon the existing infrastructure for RPM packages.
Specific questions which come up during porting a new Linux release should be asked on firstname.lastname@example.com, there are more people which can answer questions than here in my blog. I will add useful information to this HOWTO if necessary.
In the easy case most of the work is searching the right RPMs and their dependencies to use, and to create the plist.
Why do we need a new linux_base port?
The current linux_base port is based upon Fedora 10, which is end of life since December 2009. Even Fedora 13 is already end of life. Fedora 16 is supposed to be released this year. From a support point of view, Fedora 15 or maybe even Fedora 16 would be a good target for the next linux_base port. Other alternatives would be to use an extended lifetime release of another RPM based distribution, like for example CentOS 6 (which seems to be based upon Fedora 12 with backports from Fedora 13 and 14). Using a Linux release which is told to be supported for at least 10 years, sounds nice from a FreeBSD point of view (only minor changes to the linux ports in such a case, instead of creating a complete new linux_base each N+2 releases like with Fedora), but it also means additional work if you want to create the first linux_base port for it.
The mysteries you have to conquer if you want to create a new linux_base port
What we do not know is, if Fedora 15⁄16, CentOS 6, or any other Linux release will work in a supported FreeBSD release. There are two ways to find this out.
The first one is to take an existing Linux system, chroot into it (either via NFS or after making a copy into a directory of a FreeBSD system), and to run a lot of programs (acroread, skype, shells, scripts, …). The LTP testsuite is not that much useful here, as it will test mostly kernel features, but we do not know which kernel features are mandatory for a given userland of a Linux release.
The second way of testing if a given Linux release works on FreeBSD is to actually create a new linux_base port for it and test it without chrooting.
The first way is faster, if you are only interested in testing if something works. The second way provides an easy to setup testbed for FreeBSD kernel developers to fix the Linuxulator so that it works with the new linux_base port. Both ways have their merits, but it is up to the person doing the work to decide which way to go.
The meat: HOWTO create a new linux_base port
First off, you need a system (or a jail) without any linux_base port installed. After that you can create a new linux_base port (= lbN), by just making a copy of the latest one (= lbO). In lbN you need to add lbO as a CONFLICT, and in all other existing linux_base ports, you need to add lbN as a conflict.
Change the PORTNAME, PORTVERSION, reset the PORTREVISION in lbN, and set LINUX_DIST_VER to the new Linux-release version in the lbN Makefile (this is used in PORTSDIR/Mk/bsd.linux-rpm.mk and PORTSDIR/Mk/bsd.linux-apps.mk).
If you do not stay with Fedora, there is some more work to do before you can have a look at chosing RPMs for installation. You need to have a look at PORTSDIR/Mk/bsd.linux-rpm.mk and add some cases for the new LINUX_DIST you want to use. Do not forget to set LINUX_DIST in the lbN Makefile to the name of the distribution you use. You also need to augment the LINUX_DIST_VER check in PORTSDIR/Mk/bsd.linux-rpm.mk with some LINUX_DIST conditionals. If you are lucky, the directory structure for downloads is similar to the Fedora structure, and there is not a lot to do here.
When this is done, you can have a look at the BIN_DISTFILES variable in the lbN Makefile. Try to find similar RPMs for the new Linux release you want to port. Some may not be available, and it may also be the case that different ones are needed instead. I suggest to first work with the ones which are available (make makesum, test install and create plist). After that you need to find out what the replacement RPMs for non-existing ones are. You are on your own here. Search around the net, and/or have a look at the dependencies in the RPMs of lbO to determine if something was added as a dependency of something else or not (if not, forget about it ATM). When you managed to find replacement RPMs, you can now have a look at the dependencies of the RPMs in lbN. Do not add blindly all dependencies, not all are needed in FreeBSD (the linux_base ports are not supposed to create an environment which you can chroot into, they are supposed to augment the FreeBSD system to be able to run Linux programs in ports like they where FreeBSD native programs). What you need in the linux_base ports are libraries, config and data files which do not exist in FreeBSD or have a different syntax than in FreeBSD (those config or data files which are just in a different place, can be symlinked), and basic shell commands (which commands are needed or not… well… good question, in the past we made decisions what to include based upon problem reports from users). Now for the things which are not available and where not added as a dependency. Those are things which are either used during install, or where useful to have in the past. Find out by what it was replaced and have a look if this replacement can easily be used instead. If it can be used, add it. If not, well… bad luck, we (the FreeBSD community) will see how to handle this somehow.
If you think that you have all you need in BIN_DISTFILES, please update SRC_DISTFILES accordingly and generate the distfile via make ‑DPACKAGE_BUILDING makesum to have the checksums of the sources (for legal reasons we need them on our mirrors).
The next step is to have a look at REMOVE_DIRS, REMOVE_FILES and ADD_DIRS if something needs to be modified. Most of them are there to fall back to the corresponding FreeBSD directories/files, or because they are not needed at all (REMOVE_*). Do not remove directories from ADD_DIRS, they are created here to fix some edge conditions (I do not remember exactly why we had to add them, and I do not take the time ATM to search in the CVS history).
If you are lucky, this is all (make sure the plist is correct). If you are not lucky and you need to make some modifications to files, have a look at the do-build target in the Makefile, this is the place where some changes are done to create a nice user experience.
If you arrive here while creating a new linux_base port, lean back and feel a bit proud. You managed to create a new linux_base port. It is not very well tested at this moment, and it is far from everything which needs to be done to have the complete Linux infrastructure for a given Linux release, but the most important part is done. Please notify firstname.lastname@example.com and call for testers.
What is missing?
The full Linuxulator infrastructure for the FreeBSD Ports Collection has some more ports around a linux_base port. Most of the infrastructure for this is handled in Mk/bsd.linux-apps.mk.
UPDATE: I got some time to write how to update the Linux-infrastructure ports.

After an amazing vacation week in Spain, which included laying on the beach, wind surfing, tennis and, well, more laying on the beach, I was back in Park City for springtime.
Now most of you know I grew up in Park City and therefore watched the 2002 Olympic Winter Games at the young age of 7. Well long story short, this is one of the reasons I became involved in ski jumping and therefore I am a direct result of these Games coming to Utah. Thanks to the wonderful weather and awesome sport programs in Utah, I was able to train on the Olympic venues throughout my childhood and into my career.
|With my parents at the awards
The reason why I am bringing this up now is because on April 16, I was awarded by the Governor of Utah the "Olympian of the Year Award." Now, obviously I am not an Olympian, but since I am from the generation of starting sports as a result of Utah holding the Olympics they felt like I deserved this award based on my results in World Cup from the 2011-12 winter season.
I was very honored to receive this award and was happy to attend the luncheon with the governor himself to accept the honor. Other award winners included many Utah high school and college athletes for their achievements throughout the year, USSA as athletic program of the year and Spencer Eccles for the lifetime achievement award. It was such an amazing feeling to be in a room filled with Utah locals all with the common dedication of sports! If there is one thing that I have learned over the years, it's the common bond you have with people that work day in and day out to be the best in their sport – a very special connection.
In addition to all the locals at the luncheon, Andre Agassi was in attendance. Being in the younger generation I didn't know much about his famous tennis playing but was blown away not only by his accomplishments on the court but also the work he is doing for kids in need. His success helped him build a school for underprivileged kids in Nevada and it was awesome to hear how he is changing lives – a dream I have after I am finished competing.
The whole awards made me realize how lucky I was to grow up in a state that cares so much about its athletes! Hope everyone is having a good spring and thanks for reading my updates!

Beloit school will reopen Thursday
Classes canceled Wednesday after structural issues
BELOIT, Wis. — A Beloit elementary school will reopen two days after it was evacuated.
One of Robinson Elementary School's gymnasium walls began cracking during construction Tuesday, when crews were working on a new addition behind the school.
Corporate Contractors Inc. was digging to place footing for the addition when the foundation under the gymnasium began to collapse, causing the north gym wall to crack.
Construction was stopped immediately, and the Fire Department responded. The building was evacuated just before 3 p.m., and students were released at their normal time.
No gym classes were going on at the time. No one was hurt.
Independent structural engineers hired by the school said the gym structure is sound after crews worked overnight to reinforce the building.
Classes were canceled Wednesday but will resume Thursday.
The gym area, which also serves as a cafeteria, won't be used until the area is rebuilt. The district plans to bring in portable classrooms next week to make up for the loss of the space in the gym. For the time being, students will eat in their classrooms.
Robinson Elementary School is one of the schools undergoing massive renovations funded by a referendum. District officials said the gym will be a construction priority.
"We will not be using the gym," said Melissa Badger, the community relations coordinator for the Beloit School District. "It has been deemed safe, but we want to err on the side of safety, so we will not be using the gym until it's been completely rebuilt as a part of the referendum."
Work will be done on the school when classes are not in session, according to district officials. Construction on the gym is expected to be completed in four weeks.
About 400 students attend the K-3 school.

text: Mission and History History In 1987 the Sy Syms School of Business was established through a generous gift by Mr. Sy Syms. From its inception, the school pledged to offer a unique and comprehensive curriculum in business with strong liberal arts and a deep grounding in Judaic studies. The founding dean, Dr. Michael Schiff, formerly head of the accounting department at NYU's Stern School of Business, and the founding associate dean, Ira Jaskoll, quickly established it as a key business school in New York City, adding it to the many strong undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools already offered at Yeshiva University. Faculty members were recruited who had both the highest academic and scholarly credentials, as well as cutting-edge professional experience. The enthusiasm for business was being met as students applied and began to enroll in the Sy Syms School. An active Placement Office was established with local, national, and international firms excited about hiring Syms graduates. Not only were students well prepared academically, but the dual curriculum and ethical basis of their Judaic and secular studies classes made them extremely attractive to potential employers. As the alumni continued to excel, recruiters continued to come back for more. In the early years, the school hosted distinguished visiting faculty through the Dr. Ira Kukin Distinguished Visiting Professorship. These appointments included Dr. Franco Modigliani of MIT and a Nobel Prize winner, and Dr. Clarence Walton, former president of Catholic University, who taught our first-ever course in corporate social responsibility. With the arrival of Dr. Harold Nierenberg as the second dean, the school moved into an expansion phase. The Ira Rennert Entrepreneurial Institute was created to assist Syms students in starting and running their own businesses. The Doris and Dr. Ira Kukin Entrepreneurial Lecture Series provided, and continues to provide, students with the opportunity to interact with top corporate executives and CEOs. Speakers included Michael Bloomberg, Alan "Ace" Greenberg of Bear Stearns, Mickey Drexler of J Crew, Ivan Seidenberg of Verizon, Warren Eisenberg of Bed Bath and Beyond, Joel Mael of the Florida Marlins, Sumner Redstone of Viacom, and Abby Joseph Cohen of Goldman Sachs. The school also began to offer the Dr. William and Bernice Schwartz Business Plan Competition with substantial cash prizes for outstanding business plans. A Syms Alumni Association was established, with many alumni wanting to give back to the school. The third dean, Dr. Charles Snow, launched the Executive Roundtable, chaired by Josh Weston, former CEO of ADP, where students, alumni and members of the Sy Syms School of Business Board of Overseers would meet over dinner to network. Over the years, one of the highlights of the schools has been the annual Syms School of Business Student Dinner and Reception. The dinner, which was organized by the Syms Student Council, was held in different venues each year including the Museum of Jewish Heritage; the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum; the Yeshiva University Museum; Chelsea Piers; the South Street Seaport; and the Circle Line. In 2005, the school hosted its second Noble Prize winner, Dr. Robert Aumann of Hebrew University, the first Torah Observant Jew to win a Nobel Prize in Economics. With the arrival of Dr. Michael Ginzberg as the fourth dean of Syms, the school enhanced it academic presence and reputation. Accreditation in AACSB International was made and continues to be a priority for the school. A new, updated curriculum was created and launched in the fall of 2010. The size of the faculty was increased and the amount and quality of scholarly publications increased dramatically. An entrepreneur-in-residence was named, Professor Michael Strauss, to assist students is developing their business ideas and to help set up internships within the community. The first graduate program was started in fall 2009, an MS in Accounting, to fulfill the New York State 150-credit requirement for Certified Public Accountants. The first class graduated in May 2010. On June 1, 2011, the University announced a new leadership team as part of a broad, University-wide, re-imagining process, signally the beginning of our next phase of growth and development. Under the new leadership Professor Mike Strauss (interim dean) and Dr. Avi Giloni (associate dean), there is a renewed focus on integrating ethics into every course, celebrating the spirit of Jewish entrepreneurship across the curriculum and emphasizing experienced-based learning in everything we do. We are returning to the founding values of both the University and the business school in order to re-energize our efforts as we move into the future. We do so to better articulate our mission and goals, to measure our progress in a systematic and rational way, and to make ongoing changes as needed. While maintaining its commitment to excellence in research, the school is re-dedicating itself to meeting the demanding and ever-changing needs of its current and future students, and other stakeholders. In the summer of 2012, our unique Sabbath observant Executive MBA (EMBA) enrolled its first cohort of students. Classes are being held on Sundays instead of the usual Saturdays. In the fall of 2012, we launched the Honors and Entrepreneurial Leadership Program. We are continuously planning and designing news courses like Principles of Success and the Causes and Cures of the Financial Crisis taught by leading academics and practitioners. Mission The particular mission of the Sy Syms School of Business is to be the business school appropriate to Yeshiva University, a university with a unique mission of Torah Umadda that emphasizes quality teaching and research, highly respected by students, parents, alumni and our academic colleagues. We shall: Offer quality undergraduate programs that equip students for meaningful and challenging careers Offer competitive graduate and executive programs, complementing other programs at YU, to a wide student population Assure that our programs have a clear ethical basis and a global orientation Inculcate Jewish values in our courses and programs Embrace alumni and the business community and involve them in our programs Conduct research that addresses issues that matter and make meaningful contributions to practice and theory

UK Guy Trademarks Famous Gov't Slogan, Goes After Others For Using It
from the keep-calm-and-carry-on-suing deptDuring World War II, the British government apparently created a slogan and poster that read Keep Calm and Carry On:
And yet... another guy has gone out and trademarked the phrase and is seeking takedowns on anyone selling competing merchandise. In the video at that BBC link, the guy who now owns the trademark, Mark Coop, really comes across as having a massive sense of entitlement for taking something in the public domain and locking it up:
"Having quit the day job, and put my life and soul into this, and build it up and then rely on it for my livelihood, I have to protect my own interests. You know, and faced with the risk of losing everything you've worked for, I find it hard to believe that other people wouldn't do the same thing."Wow. First of all, Coop isn't at risk of "losing everything." He can still keep selling the same products. The trademark itself seems highly questionable, since the phrase first came from the government in 1939 and was used popularly in the UK in the early 2000s before Coop went into business. The fact that he quit his day job to do this is meaningless under trademark law. What about the others who did the same who are now being blocked by Coop? Coop goes on, condescendingly:
"Had I not built this up, they probably wouldn't never heard of it. They wouldn't, you know, have ever even seen it. So, I think they're jumping on the back of what I, essentially, came up with."Except, um, he didn't come up with it. The UK government did. And others appeared to have begun selling it before he did. So what claim does he really have here?

Former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chad Johnson pleaded not guilty Thursday to a misdemeanor domestic battery charge in Fort Lauderdale.
Johnson didn't attend Thursday's hearing, and the written plea was entered by his attorneys.
"He's doing well, he's doing well," Johnson's attorney, Adam Swickle, said after Thursday's hearing. "Chad's the kind of individual that will always land on his feet."
The Broward State Attorney's Office filed the charge against Johnson on Wednesday, following his arrest in August for allegedly head-butting his wife, Evelyn Lozada.
According to Davie Police, Lozada found a receipt for condoms and confronted Johnson about it at dinner. The argument continued during their drive home, and when they arrived at their driveway, he allegedly head-butted her.
Lozada was treated at a nearby hospital for lacerations to her head, though Johnson told police she had head-butted him.
The Dolphins released Johnson the day after his arrest, and Lozada later filed for divorce.
The confrontation came barely a month after Johnson married Lozada, who is on the reality TV show "Basketball Wives." The 34-year-old Johnson had been battling for a spot on the Miami Dolphins after a disappointing season with the New England Patriots in 2011.
