Who doesn't love a Mustang
By SD Jones on Saturday, August 10, 2019I was looking for something sporty that I can use as a daily driver that didn't have as stiff a ride as my outgoing Subaru WRX. I was drawn to the mustang for several reasons, but one was the current incentives. Once I test drove the car, I just fell in love with it. Awesome classic Mustang styling both on the interior and exterior. I love the 8 inch infotainment screen with the Apple CarPlay and voice activation. I choose a package with with all season Goodyear F1 tires and upgraded rims with black inlay over chrome . Great ride quality. 5 driving modes. Wet,sport,normal,track & drag. I got a great deal on a 19 left over. 5k off sticker. 0% financing for 72 months.

That's a lot of PERFORMANCE for only $26,000 bucks
By the next pony boy on Tuesday, July 16, 2019So out of the blue I decided to get a 2019 Mustang 2.3 coupe. I was not even considering a Mustang,but a great deal fell into my lap , and now I'm Pony boy...fun to drive with a lot of curb appeal. I don't want to here how the back seats are cramped,in this segment of cars all back seats have short comings....Besides the awesome performance, I was really surprised how well the fuel economy is in this beast, I avg 22 MPG overall, that's only 2 milles less per gallon then my prevoius car that had only 170 hp vs. the Stang at 310 hp.One more surprise, a huge trunk....PONY BOY OVER AN OUT.

Great car for the money
By Nkin on Wednesday, July 10, 2019The car has been fantastic, especially for being a 4 cylinder. It has great power and I average about 26mpg, however, the sound is what you expect from the smaller engine. If you are looking for a good car for college and you don't want a honda civic or a Toyota corolla, this is the car for you.

Stars turn out for golf event benefiting Youth Academy
Hall of Famer Robinson hosts invitational to support Compton training facility
LOS ANGELES -- Under pristine blue skies and sparkling sunshine, celebrities in the sports and entertainment world hit the links at the Wilshire Country Club on Monday in the inaugural Frank Robinson Celebrity Golf Invitational.
All proceeds from the event went to the MLB Urban Youth Academy in Compton, which is a free, year-round baseball and softball training facility for inner-city youth from underserved communities in the greater Los Angeles area.
Robinson, executive vice president of baseball development, was joined by fellow Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson, along with basketball legends Bill Russell, Elgin Baylor and Jerry West. Actors Benjamin Bratt, Richard Karn, Andy Garcia and Kevin Nealon also participated in the event.
"It is great to have the support. Athletes have always been willing to give themselves for a good cause," Robinson said. "There is no better cause than the youth of this country."
As participants rolled in an hour or so before their 10:30 a.m. PT tee time, many were catching up and joking around with each other. Russell and West laughed with each other on the putting green before play began, while Jackson and Baylor said friendly hellos next to the first tee box.
"That is what it is all about. We have fun, laugh at each other, and joke and poke at each other so certain guys don't make shots," Robinson said. "The idea is for everyone to come out and enjoy themselves and have a lot of fun. It is for a good cause."
While many players chose to wear traditional golf attire, Karn decided to wear tiger print pants, Garcia sported a fedora and Nealon wore a bright green T-shirt.
"I went into my closet. I have eight golf shirts and this one was in the front. It was the only clean one," Nealon joked. "I figured I can't be taken seriously as a golfer, so why not have fun with everything? I look for the joke in every swing."
Darrell Miller, MLB's vice president of youth and facility development, said that once people understand what the UYA does, they become more willing to help.
"It is so heartwarming to see so many people support the cause. You hope that people get the vision," Miller said. "People love to play golf, so once you communicate that, it makes it much easier."
One player who has benefitted greatly from the UYA in Compton is Aaron Hicks, who is a UYA alumnus and made his Major League debut earlier this year with the Twins.
A graduate of Long Beach Wilson High School and a 2008 first-round Draft pick, Hicks was excited to take part in Monday's event.
"I'm so happy to be here and show my appreciation for everything that the Urban Youth Academy has done for me," Hicks said. "It is great to see so many people that worked with me and helped me become the player that I am today. People like Frank Robinson really taught me the right way to play the game."
Jackson also has that same appreciation for Robinson, who was a big idol of his growing up.
"I really looked up to him. I learned how to be a leader and a better player thanks to him," the 14-time All-Star said. "So anytime he asks me for anything, I'm always available for him.
"I want to be able to give, especially when it comes to minorities and those less fortunate."
With the Invitational marking the Compton UYA's biggest fundraiser of the year, Miller said he hopes to raise somewhere between $100,000 to $150,000.
"What we want and hope is that people continue to come back and play every year," Robinson said. "We want to keep improving the event, add to the regulars and get a new spice every year."

One of the distinguishing features of RightScale is that from day one we've focused on automating the configuration management of servers. The reason is simple: you can't get the benefits of the cloud if you have to spend a lot of manual time configuring each launched server. The cloud itself only solves part of the problem: calling EC2's runInstances API is just the beginning of a rather complex process that gets the server into full operation. After all, most launched servers are intended to go into operation/production and not just sit around idle waiting for someone to log in.
After doing a webinar on ServerTemplates, I thought it would be good to go back and write-up why the core of RightScale does what it does. It's on the long side so you may want to skim over the sections that you're already familiar with.
Why Machine Images Don't Work
The standard method of operation in the virtualization world is to work with machine images. This translates to: launch a server with an image that is "close" to what you want, then log in and install the software you need plus make any config changes, then create an image from that server ("bundling" in EC2 parlance). Later on, when you need an instance of that server, you launch the image and hopefully it comes up ready to go. While this process may sound simple, it's actually anything but that and takes quite some time. I went through the bundling treadmill back in 2006 and concluded this wasn't productive. The reasons are simple:
Images are too monolithic. Everything on a server is bundled up in one image file which makes it difficult to manage a collection of images. Change the version of one software package you commonly use and you have to recreate all images that happen to use that package. This quickly gets out of hand.
Images are opaque. From the outside it's hard to tell what's in an image. Even if you fire it up it's not convenient to poke around to figure out what's installed and how it's configured. Try determining the difference between two images: not a pleasant task.
Images are too big. They are unwieldy to work with. Take two images of different versions of your app server. More than 90% of the bits are typically identical, (often more than 99%). But finding the interesting ones that differ is like finding a needle in a haystack. This is ridiculous and contributes to making images hard to work with.
Images are too static. You can't fully configure each server. When you launch the tenth app server it needs to know it's number 10 and not nine. When you launch a test app server it needs to know it's in a test deployment (e.g., don't send alert emails to the ops team), yet you want the same image to be used in test as in production, because otherwise, what are you really testing? So you need some dynamic configuration mechanism to "personalize" each server at boot time.
The bottom line is that my experience with images has been very frustrating. I know that tools exist to help manage them, but I'm not convinced this is a productive avenue. This why late in 2006 I set out to build what we now call ServerTemplates – and I can't imagine going back.
The ServerTemplate Concept
The idea behind ServerTemplates is to boot any server from a small set of very generic images and configure the server dynamically at boot time. We noticed that the Linux package managers are very fast and running
yum install apache or
apt-get install apache takes just a few seconds, so there is little value in baking such software into an image. There are special cases where every second of boot time counts, but those are very limited and at that point it's still possible to create a more specialized image for that purpose.
Simplifying a bit, a ServerTemplate is composed of the following pieces:
- a group of settings to define the type of server – i386 vs. x64, etc.
- a reference to a base image that is to be booted
- a list of scripts and Chef recipes that are to be run at boot time to install and configure all the software
The illustration on the right shows the layers that are typically found in a ServerTemplate, starting from the bare virtual machine at the bottom, the OS, and various layers of software packages, and finally the application at the very top. On Linux we prefer to boot bare bone images that contain just the OS, while on Windows it is often required to pre-install some of the larger software packages on the image and use the dynamic ServerTemplate functionality primarily to configure these apps.
What happens at boot time is the following:
- When launching a server, RightScale passes the server its identity in the launch call using a crypto token that uniquely identifies the server to RightScale. This is important because at any one time many servers may be booting from the same image.
- When it comes up, the server contacts RightScale with its token to obtain instructions on what to download and run.
- RightScale also sends the server a set of variables that can be configured on the website. This is the way dynamic information is fed into the config to specify things such as the server's name, test vs. production, names/IP addresses of other servers it needs to contact, and so forth.
- The server then typically downloads packages from a distribution mirror and runs a set of scripts to install and configure everything.
- Throughout the process, the server sends audit entries to RightScale so that it's possible to monitor the progress on the web site and also for the persistent audit record.
Using ServerTemplates
ServerTemplates provide a very modular building block approach to managing server configurations. In practice many different constituencies contribute to a ServerTemplate. Vendors, OS distributions, and RightScale provide the lower layers in the form of standard software packages. The sysadmin or operations team often provides standard configurations for fleet-wide software, such as logging, intrusion detection, user account management, network config, etc. Developers provide higher layers, such as app server install and the application code itself. The modular approach makes it easy to integrate all the pieces and especially to manage the update process.
The modularity of ServerTemplates also enables flexible software development and test practices. In our case we use the same building blocks to create a large variety of ServerTemplates that are appropriate for the different stages from development to production:
- In production we use many specialized servers, so we end up with many ServerTemplates, for load balancers, app servers, API servers, and so on.
- For staging we start to aggregate functions so we are running fewer servers. This saves money and also simplifies updates a bit. To achieve this, we combine scripts that are in different ServerTemplates in production onto fewer ServerTemplates.
- For test setups we combine again so we have a number of test systems without having to launch and manage too many servers.
- Finally, developers often use an "all-in-one" ServerTemplate for their development and testing. This ServerTemplate combines all the building blocks in a single ServerTemplate.
The beauty here is that we can reuse the exact same RightScript and Chef cookbook building blocks that we use in production for the other stages of development. This reduces set-up time and issues where developers test configurations that have little resemblance to what will go into production.
Making ServerTemplates Reliable
In IT management there is often a tension between flexibility and reliability: if everything can change at any moment it's hard to lock down a reliable and reproducible configuration. We discovered this early on and spent a lot of engineering resources to provide a good reliability harness around ServerTemplates to solve the problem. Our solution has a number of aspects:
- ServerTemplates are version controlled, so you can commit a version and come back to it at any later point. If you want to relaunch a server with last year's version of a ServerTemplate you can. Or perhaps you just want to see a diff of what has changed since.
- We mirror the Linux distribution mirrors such that a booting server retrieves the packages from a local redundant set of fast servers.
- We also keep a daily snapshot of the Linux distribution mirrors such that when you relaunch a server with last year's version of a ServerTemplate it can retrieve the software packages as they were at that point in time. This is under user control: you can freeze the repos to any day of your choice.
RightScale reliably launches thousands of servers using ServerTemplates each day. Keeping this machinery reliable as both RightScale and the underlying clouds we manage evolve at breakneck pace is a top priority for us and involves a significant amount of engineering. One of the tricks we use to stay ahead of the curve is that we use ServerTemplates ourselves: we leverage RightScale to manage RightScale. The benefits in terms of automation, control and reliability have been incredible, and at this point we cannot imagine going back to a pure machine image model of operation.
ServerTemplates are a leap forward over images, they enable servers to be launched and dynamically configured at run time – no tweaking machine images. This is the underpinning of truly automated infrastructure. They also support launching reliable infrastructure – you know what you're launching at all times, it is completely repeatable. Finally, they are built on reusable components, which saves untold time in creating new or similar configurations, or expanding from test and dev to production.

|Alamo and Dobby 2011
My sisters and I had 3 pets when we were growing up. We had a West-Highland White Terrier named Scottie; a male Cockatiel named Merlin (yes, after the wizard); and a black dwarf rabbit name Harry Houdini. Each one of us had a pet to take care of. My oldest sister cared for the bird. My younger sister for the dog, and I cared for the rabbit.
|A very hairy Scottie #2
Scottie – She was a sweet, wonderful little dog. She grew up with us. She was actually Scottie #2. The first Scottie died as a puppy before I was born. I'm told by my father that she got sick and died, they replaced her with another Westie pup (Scottie #2) and she started showing the same symptoms (don't remember what they were). Rushed the doggie to the vet where they were given expensive pills for the dog. The dog wasn't getting better and they took her somewhere else where the vet told my parents that the pills were just calcium tablets and to just give the dog milk. I don't know what exactly was wrong that would cause this to be the cure, but I can speculate that perhaps the puppy mill that they got the dog from was taking them away from their mom too early. Just a guess though.
|Not sure if it's Scottie #1 or #2 with my older sister
So, Scottie #2 was a great dog to have. She loved to give kisses and sit on laps. She would walk around the house every night and check on the kids before she went to bed. I knew this, not only because my father told us, but when I couldn't sleep I could hear her walking through the house and come into my room. Her dog tags would knock together and make a light tinkling sound. She'd pause and then leave to check the next room. Not a very intimidating guard dog, but you could tell that she loved us and protected us.
|Merlin the snugglie cockatiel
Merlin – I so want another cockatiel! Do you know how you can buy a hand-fed cockatiel and they cuddle with you? We didn't buy him hand-fed, but he ended up acting in much the same way. His cage hung from a chain on the ceiling and we'd open his door, he'd walk down to the end of it and just sing. If you didn't pay attention he'd squawk louder and louder until you'd pay attention to him. He wanted you to scratch his little head. If you ignored him for too long…maybe there was something interesting on TV, well, he'd fly over to the chair that you were on, land on the arm of the chair and start climbing up your arm until he got to your shoulder. Those toenails! He'd nibble your ear and play with your hair. I never in my life thought a bird could be so cuddly. Beautiful, yes, but not so affectionate! A funny memory about Merlin was when we were sitting at the dining room table having dinner and he wanted our attention. The living room where his cage was flowed right into the dining room and Merlin's cage was open. He flew over to the table and landed in the mashed potatoes. Little bird footprints in the potatoes. He was put back on his cage door and seemed very offended over the whole thing. I think he saw the roast chicken…
|Harry ready to jump out
Harry Houdini – My personal responsibility…we got him for Easter one year. We got the cage at the pet shop that the clerk recommended and found out very quickly that this baby rabbit could squeeze between the bars and get out (thus the name Harry Houdini). So some mesh wire was placed around his cage to keep him in…it helped with the cedar chips too! We put a little litter box in there for him and he actually was litter trained after a while. Too bad there wasn't scoopable litter invented yet! We'd open Harry's cage lid and just leave it open sometimes. He'd jump out whenever he wanted to explore. I remember so many times that I'd be lying on the couch watching TV and the rabbit would hop over, jump up and then squeeze under my neck. He'd just flatten himself out and fall asleep there. It was funny to see him so stretched out when I'd sit up and he'd still be sleeping. A cutie pie.
|Harry and me (What a perm!)
As with most rabbits, Harry ended up getting an infection. He had pockets of puss that would develop under his skin and the vet had us drain them and give him antibiotics, but you can only delay the inevitable for so long and eventually it was his time to go. I remember I was at home alone when his time came. I picked him up and held him in my arms on his back like a baby…he liked that…he used to hold my finger between his paws and lick it when he was healthy…and he died. I wouldn't put him down. My father was at the mall. I had him paged and asked him to come home. I was still holding Harry when he came home and took him from my arms and buried him in the backyard.
There were other animals that came into our house but didn't stay forever. My mom had a bird named Chickatico. He was an albino cockatoo, I believe. She thought that if she bought him a peg that he would just sit there…that didn't work…he was a free bird and would climb up the radiator pipes up onto the ledge trim that separated our living room and dining room (and we had high ceilings!). He couldn't figure out how to get down. We'd try to bring a broom handle or something for him to step on so he could get down, but he would have none of it and would just jump and SPLAT! Hit the floor. His wings were clipped so he wasn't a flier. We did think that he was just about the dumbest bird we'd ever seen, but maybe he just landed on his head one too many times.
|Chickatico the attack bird
We tried to teach him to let us scratch his head, and he would permit it from time to time. We'd only do it through the bars and the trick was to get your finger away before he was done with the head-scratching because if you didn't get your finger out in time there was blood drawn. He wasn't as delicate as Merlin. Mom took him with her when she left and eventually we stayed with my younger sister for awhile. Eventually he was given to a home that was better able to take care of him. I don't think mom realized when she got him exactly how long cockatoos lived! He's probably still alive out there with his new family that, if I remember correctly, had several large birds.
We had a parakeet that I barely remember named Puffy. My dad claims that every morning my mom would remove the cover to his cage and she would call him "Buzzard-beak". Then one morning she removed the covered and he called her "buzzard-beak". Don't know if I believe that. I don't think parakeets are big talkers!
When I was a teenager and in college and lived with my mom, she had the sweetest little Yorkie named Sampson. He was another snuggler and loved being held. If you picked him up and held him on your lap he would stand up and put his little paws on your chest and then put his head on you sideways...doggie hugs!
|A sleeping Bandito
As an adult my hubby and I had some fish, but moving around with the military was not conducive to caring/transporting fish. They were peaceful and we enjoyed them and hope to have more again someday. We had a cat, Bandito, that was too friendly and trusting for his own good. He fell asleep under the wheel of a car. No more to be said about that. We know have a very fat beagle, Alamo, that's 7 years old (and we very nearly lost last year due to pancreatic issues) and a new cat, Dobby (yes, named after the elf in Harry Potter), that's about 3 years old. My two boys are following in my footsteps taking care of their animals that love them very much. The cycle continues…

CHICAGO -- The YMCA of the USA recently recognized five Ys for their involvement in Pioneering Healthier Communities (PHC), an initiative that helps communities form a team of community leaders to implement solutions to improve eating habits and increase physical activity.
Since the program began in July 2004, select YMCAs across the country have assembled teams of business executives, hospital administrators, elected officials, school superintendents, leaders of academic institutions and public health officials to improve the physical environments and lifestyle choices available to community residents. From developing walking and bike paths to making sure nutritious options are available in school vending machines, PHC teams develop and execute interventions that influence local policy, the environment and area programs. These local changes often serve as models for replication in other communities nationwide.
The five Ys recognized for their PHC programs are:
- The Attleboro Y (MA) team, with technical support from the National Park Service, is working to improve the walkability of Attleboro with an extensive city-wide trail. It also plans to expand a bike-path system and make improvements to sidewalks, thereby increasing opportunities for residents to be active.
- This Y of Greater Rochester (NY) team worked with their child care food vendor for three full-day child care sites, requiring fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables and enhancing servings of whole grains.
- The YMCA of the Suncoast team in Clearwater, FL, influenced the two largest providers of after-school care by requiring 30 minutes of daily physical activity in their programming. The county government adopted the physical activity requirement as part of its licensing requirements for all after-school programs.
- The Rapid City Y (SD) team has actively campaigned for public policies that support walking and biking. The Rapid City city council has denied variances for developers who wanted to develop a project without sidewalks, and sidewalks and bike paths are in construction projects that did not initially include them.
- The Y of Grand Rapids (MI) team, in response to limited access to fresh fruits and vegetables for inner-city residents, planted three community gardens and started a farmers' market to increase opportunities for residents to purchase healthy foods.
PHC is part of the Y's campaign to Activate America. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides financial support and serves as a key expert advisor for PHC. The PepsiCo Foundation also supports the program.

MILTON — A six-year-old child was found safe with relatives after a roughly hourlong search by several area emergency responders Saturday night.
After numerous departments set up a command post along White Mountain Highway Saturday evening for reports of a missing child, Milton police reported the child was located and returned home safely.
Milton Police Lt. Richard Krauss said a 6-year-old girl was reported missing at about 6 p.m. Police responded to the area of 96 White Mountain Highway, according to scanner activity, and a full blown search commenced. Krauss said officials were actively searching the area around the child's home near the Rochester-Milton town line.
But just after 7 p.m., Krauss said the family located the juvenile and she was returned. He referred to the case as a "miscommunication" with involved family and stressed the child was never actually missing.
Scanner reports said the girl was staying at a relative's house.
New Hampshire State Police along with departments from Farmington, Middleton, Rochester and Milton Fire & Rescue were called in for support. A K9 unit from Rochester was searching the area as a New Hampshire Fish and Game K9 unit was dispatched to the area to assist.
Officials also had a helicopter "on standby" for an airborne search, Krauss said, but the aircraft was never deployed.

If you were wondering why you saw Al Michaels and a multi-colored peacock doing backflips in the streets on Tuesday, we have your answer.
The Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts will meet on "Sunday Night Football" in five days. That matchup got even more enticing now that Broncos coach John Fox has criticized Colts owner Jim Irsay over recent comments about Peyton Manning.
"I saw the comments, and to be honest with you I thought it was a bit of a cheap shot," Fox said Tuesday on SiriusXM NFL Radio (via DenverBroncos.com). "To me, in my opinion, they were disappointing and inappropriate. Peyton would never say anything, he's too classy to do that, but they sounded a little ungrateful and unappreciative to me, for a guy that's set a standard, won a Super Bowl, won division titles, won four MVP awards.
Irsay told USA Today that the Colts "changed (their) model a little bit" because they wanted more than the one ring the franchise won during Manning's 14-year run in Indy.
"You make the playoffs 11 times, and you're out in the first round seven out of 11 times," Irsay said. "You love to have the 'Star Wars' numbers from Peyton and Marvin (Harrison) and Reggie (Wayne). Mostly, you love this," Irsay said, flashing his Super Bowl ring.
Irsay's words certainly appear to have been twisted here. The owner spoke glowingly of Manning's legacy in Indianapolis in a conversation with NFL Media's Albert Breer last week. It's possible (actually likely) that Irsay's idea of changing the "model" was less about Manning and more about the organizational direction (Goodbye Bill Polian, hello Ryan Grigson).
Whatever his intentions, Irsay ticked Fox off, which makes this a story. Expect an Irsay tweet sometime around 4 a.m.

India's statistics agency is forecasting economic growth of only 5 percent for the fiscal year ending March, the weakest in a decade. It's a big comedown from just a couple of years ago when officials boasted India could grow at 10 percent or more a year and overtake China.
The finance ministry has accused the statistics agency of being too pessimistic. That spat aside, there's no question that Asia's third-largest economy is now not growing fast enough to produce sufficient jobs for its burgeoning youth population.
Here are some questions and answers on India's slump.
Q: Two years ago, India was growing at 9 percent or more, as fast as China. What happened?
Investment in the economy has slowed sharply because many businesses, foreign and local, have little confidence the government will make significant improvements to India's creaking infrastructure, ponderous bureaucracy and extravagant corruption. Power outages last year affecting hundreds of millions dramatically underlined strains on the power grid. The poor condition of highways and rail is another major bottleneck for business. Ordinary Indians, meanwhile, have slowed spending because of high inflation, which also inhibits investment, since weaker consumer demand gives businesses less reason to expand.
Q: Is 5 percent growth really that bad? The U.S., Japan and Europe would be happy to grow that fast.
India's needs fast growth to lift more people out of poverty and provide enough jobs for its swelling population. Average income per person was about $1,500 in 2011, not even one thirtieth of average incomes in the U.S. More than half of India's 1.2 billion people are under 30 years old and some 13 million Indians reach working age each year, according to the IMF. India's finance ministry estimates the country needs at least 8 percent growth each year to create enough new jobs.
Q: What does India's slump mean for the world economy?
It dims hopes that India along with China will help drive a rebound in a global economy that is weighed down by a sluggish U.S. recovery and recession in Europe. Global companies from automakers to retailers who hoped Indian consumers would drive new revenues might have to scale back their plans for the country.
Q: Can India's central bank help?
Its scope to cut interest rates to boost the economy has been limited by high inflation. Central bankers feared that lower interest rates would only worsen inflation and further impoverish many Indians by pushing up prices for food and other essentials. So they kept interest rates high until inflation showed signs of moderating. It reached a three-year low of 7.2 percent in December and the Reserve Bank of India last month made a modest cut to its main lending rate. But analysts say inflation is still at a worrisome level and any further interest rate cuts likely won't be big enough to have much impact on borrowing and investment. And as the central bank has repeatedly said, India's economic problems are too complex to be solved by it alone.
Q: Are India's deficits also a problem?
India's government is running a steep budget deficit, spending more than it collects in taxes. The country also has a big current account deficit because its imports, swelled by oil and gold, exceed exports. The deficits aren't by definition a problem as long as investors are willing to finance them and believe the debts will ultimately be repaid. If doubt creeps in, India's creditors would demand higher rates of interest to continue financing the country. In extreme circumstances that could lead to a government default or balance of payments crisis. Right now, the twin deficits are a symptom of India's economic weaknesses and show its vulnerability. India's government wants to reduce its budget deficit but has to proceed cautiously, because a too sharp withdrawal of deficit spending would further slow economic growth.
Q: It sounds like India's problems are too hard to solve.
They're difficult, but there are some steps India's government can take. It can reform regulations to make doing business easier. The World Bank's ease-of-business survey ranks India 132 of 185 countries and lists India as one of the world's five worst countries both in enforcing contracts and dealing with construction permits. Businesses say the government must also follow through on pro-growth policies such as opening retail and aviation to more foreign investment and forming a special commission to solve delays blocking major infrastructure projects. It would also help to streamline the country's notoriously tangled bureaucracy.


text: This book is primarily an effort to study the phenomenon called insurgency that has been posing a huge challenge to the internal security of the country. Though a wealth of literature on the subject already exists, a need was felt to analyse the multiple facets of insurgency as no country barring India has witnessed this endemic for a prolonged period. The subject is so vast and dynamic that no strait-jacketed solution can be prescribed to curb this menace overnight. However, an attempt has been made to analyse this phenomenon and prescribe remedial antidotes.

Lace and Cable Sock
Yeah, only one.
So far in my knitting lifetime I've only made 2.5 pairs of socks. This is my best fitting one. I think I finally 'got' how much negative ease I need and what size I should go with from now on when knitting them (medium)…I wrote so many notes complete with measurements, diagrams, and sarcastic comments to myself. Oi.
I only knit this pattern because of the yarn I had–I don't remember if it was because of yardage or type that limited my choices.
I used the sewn bind off that so many people swear by, and quite frankly, I'm not a fan. The book (Socks from the Toe Up) said it'd be ruffly when it is relaxed (in pic above) but flat when stretched…mine is not flat when stretched. I wonder if I went down in needle size for the 1×1 rib if that would have made a difference…or if I wasn't a rebel and didn't make the cables go through the cuff.
The yarn was alright. It separated easily but it's so soft!
The pattern is also nothing special. While not the worst project I've ever done, it definitely isn't one of my favorites. Good news is, I'm ready to start my blanket for Lily (soooo over the tragedy that is my sock)! I have the yarn (pink!) and pattern (Pine Forest Baby Blanket) picked out.
All I have to do now is pack. The idea of planning my outfits so far in advance grosses me out. I don't know how all these fashionistas/bloggers do it.

With its highly versatile trade fair centre in Hannover and first-class online services, Deutsche Messe offers companies from all over the world excellent opportunities for business development.
World-class art is on show at the Sprengel Museum, which opened in 1979 in Lower Saxony's regional capital Hannover. It ranks as one of the major museums of 20th and 21st century art, with German Expressionism and French modernism particularly well represented. Additions to its collection in recent decades reflect the key movements in modern art – from Kurt Schwitters to Niki de Saint Phalle.
The museum's foundation dates back to a gift from Margit and Bernhard Sprengel, who donated their extensive modern art collection to the city of Hannover in 1969. Hannover's existing 20th century art collections were also moved to the new Museum of Modern Art building, which was renamed Sprengel Museum Hannover in 1984. Comprehensive collections of the works of artists such as Paul Klee, Emil Nolde and Max Beckmann, and the Brücke and Blue Rider schools are featured. In the year 2000 one of the 20th century's most influential artists Niki de Saint Phalle donated to the museum more than 400 works representing all the major phases of her creative career.

The Movies.com Review: 'Carrie' is Just Another Lifeless, Dull, and Irrelevant Product for the Movie-Watching Market
[Note to readers: This review contains what few spoilers can be said to exist in the discussion of a nearly identical remake of a nearly 40 year-old film. Stop reading now if you can't live with that.]
Actors and directors want to work. You can't blame them for that. Kimberly Peirce, riding the hot-new-filmmaker high after her Oscar-winning debut, 1999's Boys Don't Cry, took years to get another film in theaters, 2008's little-seen Iraq War drama, Stop-Loss. And that was five years ago. So forgive her for taking the payday. In fact, it probably felt like something right in her wheelhouse, the opportunity to freshly stamp and rev up the feminist elements of the classic 1976 Brian DePalma adaptation of Stephen King's novel, a chance to re-imagine its tortured heroine as a young woman discovering her strength.
That's nice to hope for. But it's not why Carrie came back.
Carrie is back in theaters again because it's a money-printing machine, which means that slight stylistic decisions aside, there's no bold re-imagining happening here. Beat for beat, it's very nearly the same film, only stripped of the harsher details that make the 1976 version so painful and indelible. That version's Carrie (Sissy Spacek) lived in a daily horror show with a hugely cruel and abusive mother (Piper Laurie) so obsessed with the ecstasy of squirming under the thumb of an angry God that she turned her daughter into a living ghost. Carrie is violently bullied to the point of breaking and, when she discovers her supernatural powers of telekinesis, she fears them. They overwhelm her ability to control the outcome, resulting in senseless death even for characters who were never cruel to her at all. That sad unfairness that accompanies both life and death, and the random nature of violence uncoiled, make DePalma's film a prickly, difficult experience almost 40 years later. When Carrie snaps she's Travis Bickle's female doppelganger. There's a reason outsiders and the bullied cheer that prom scene, even as they experience simultaneous sorrow for the nice gym teacher (Betty Buckley) who gets it.
So what's the point, then, of a new Carrie with a clearer, more assured sense of self (Chloe Grace Moretz, who commits fully to the character when it's time to throw down, reveling in her ability to crush all her enemies), a cleaner divvying up of the killed and not-killed when her inevitable death-rampage takes place , and a mother (Julianne Moore, too frail to register) who comes off as more sadly crazy than a terrifying manifestation of a sadistic God made flesh? Where does the bummer ending (you know the one, same as before) fit in when it feels like the film is bending over backwards to be kinder, gentler and provide this burdened child a way out?
Answer: there isn't one. It's lifeless, dull, sanded-down and expected, another unsurprising, irrelevant product for the movie-watching market to regard with curiosity and, eventually, deirision after it vacuums up all that opening weekend teen-cash. Remember, somebody thought remaking A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th were good ideas too. You do remember those, right? No? Exactly.

Redknapp's side currently sit bottom of the Premier League, with just four league wins to their name so far this season and their relegation confirmed two weeks ago at Reading.
The 66 year-old has already suggested the current crop of Rangers players would not be good enough to secure an immediate return to the top flight, but now the former Tottenham boss has also called the discipline of the squad off the pitch into question.
Midfielder Stephane Mbia is the latest player to upset Redknapp, tweeting on Monday that he wants to secure a move back to previous club Marseille.
"If they practised more rather than tweeted they would be better footballers," said Redknapp.
"Next year lots of things have to change here - the whole discipline of the club. I have pussyfooted around with some of them because they are here and you need to get the best out of them.
"I want players who want to be here, work hard and train hard - the others, just don't bother. In terms of discipline, it has got to change.
"Some of them think they can do what they want when they want. It's been difficult because we have had to use them, but now is the time when we have had to make the changes.
"You have to get a good squad of players and need strong characters as much as ability.
"There are some good characters here and they are not all dysfunctional. There are some good lads here too, but you do need more. It's a different game, different people and different characters, but it is still football. I love football."
QPR welcome Newcastle to Loftus Road on Sunday as Alan Pardew's side search for a positive result to ease their own relegation fears.
Redknapp admits it is difficult to get his players worked up to perform to their best but they will not allow Newcastle to walk away with a win.
"When you have nothing to play for but pride it is difficult. I'm looking forward to try and build a team for next season," he said.
"We don't want to be rolling over for anyone. We will give it our best shot and try to win the game. I think Newcastle will be okay."
The Magpies go into the game with their top-flight status out of their own hands but Redknapp feels they have struggled due to disruptive injuries to key players throughout the season.
"I'm sure Newcastle will come back strong," he said. "Alan did a great job last year and overachieved, but underachieved this year.
"Injuries have affected them, but I'm sure next year they will come back and be strong again."
Redknapp will again be without defender Chris Samba for the game, as the big-money January signing continues to fight a number of niggling injuries.

The coming week may well be a turning point for the stock market and its March rally.
After three weeks of gains based on signs that the economy might be turning around, investors will get a batch of reports that could provide more evidence of whether the recession is easing or not. Among the data: the government's report on how many jobs were lost last month and the Institute for Supply Management's assessment of the health of the manufacturing and service sectors.
If the numbers come in better than forecast, many investors are likely to keep buying, placing further bets that a recovery might indeed be in its very first stages.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
But analysts say upbeat reports might not necessarily set off a huge advance. Wall Street faltered on Friday, a sign that investors are buying with caution, not abandon.
"If we see upside on the data, we might hold — or rally some more," said Doug De Groote, a managing director at United Wealth Management, a division of United Capital Financial Advisors.
Reports that come in weaker than expected are likely to take the market down. Wall Street's rally was fed in part by surprising gains in housing and factory orders numbers, and numbers that imply the recent data was a fluke could send investors out of the market again.
Still, analysts do see an improving tone on Wall Street that is due to more than economic data. De Groote said much of the market's advance came because of the government's efforts to help the credit markets and economy. On Monday, when the government released details of its plan to purchase toxic assets from banks, the major indexes rose about 7 percent.
"There's a lot of rhetoric out of Congress giving hope we'll get through this," said Roy Williams, chief executive of Prestige Wealth Management Group.
Last week, the Dow Jones industrials gained 6.8 percent, the Standard & Poor's 500 index picked up 6.2 percent and the Nasdaq composite index rose 6 percent.
The most critical report of the week comes Friday, when economists expect the Labor Department to say that 640,000 jobs were cut last month. The unemployment rate is expected to have risen to 8.4 percent from 8.1 percent in February, according to the consensus of economists polled by Thomson Reuters.
But before then, on Wednesday, the Institute for Supply Management issues its report on the manufacturing sector's performance during March. A key figure that the market will be looking at is the new orders component of the overall ISM manufacturing index; that is usually a harbinger of manufacturing activity in the near future. Investors will also want to know from the ISM report if the government's surprisingly strong February durable goods orders report issued last week was a sign of things to come.
The ISM report is based on a survey of the group's members, corporate purchasing managers at big industrial companies. The ISM this week also will issue its March report of the service sector, on Friday.
Housing data have been showing signs of unexpected improvement, including last week's reports on new and existing home sales, and that has also fed the March rally. This week brings three reports on housing. The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller January index of home prices is due out Monday; the National Association of Realtors releases its pending homes sales index for February on Wednesday; and the Commerce Department releases a report on February construction spending, also on Wednesday.
For Wall Street, what happens in the housing industry reflects more than Americans' willingness to make big financial commitments. While that's critical for the economy to heal, a pickup in home sales would also point to an easing of the now six-month-old credit crisis.
"Housing is real important to the stabilization of broader markets," Williams said.
The data comes out just ahead of the start of earnings season, in which investors expect companies to show continued struggles. In an economy driven by consumer spending, if people are out of work and not spending money, corporate earnings are likely to be weak, De Groote said. That could shift the tone on Wall Street back to negative from the recent positive views, he added.
For many investors, the most critical part of companies' reports won't be their first-quarter performance, but their outlooks for the rest of the year. If their outlooks are disappointing, or if they're unable to make forecasts, the market's rally will most likely come to an end.

What's better than eating seasonally? Preserving fresh fruit and vegetables to enjoy year-round!
Cooking Jam
Use a large, deep, heavy-based saucepan so that the ingredients are no more than 5cm deep. If the pan is too full, the cooking time will be affected and the jam may boil over. Split mixture between 2 pans, if necessary.
Boil jam rapidly, as it's important that the setting point is reached as fast as possible. In the last 8 minutes of cooking, stir jam occasionally to ensure no fruit pieces are catching.
Once jam is cooked, skim off scum or stir in 10g butter, which helps to dissipate the scum.
Setting Point
Setting point in jam is achieved by using the correct balance of natural pectin, added sugar, and cooking the mixture to 104C. Pectin levels vary dramatically among fruits and even within the same fruit. Under-ripe fruit have higher pectin levels than fruit which is ripe or over-ripe. While commercial pectin, from supermarkets, can be used to guarantee jam setting, it tends to produce an overly firm result.
To test for setting point, place 3 saucers in the freezer. Start testing 5 minutes before given cooking time. Place a small spoonful of jam on a chilled saucer. Return to freezer for 1 minute, then run a finger through jam; it should wrinkle slightly and the line should remain. If not, continue cooking and testing every 5 minutes.
Sterilising Jars
Preheat oven to 150c. Wash jars and lids in hot, soapy water and rinse well. place upright on an oven tray and heat in the oven for 10 minutes. Alternatively, run jars and lids through the dishwasher on the hottest cycle.
Jams will keep, stored in a cool, dark place, for up to 1 year. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 1 month.
Chutneys will keep in the fridge for up to 3 months.

Japanese Whisky
Less than a century old and with only a handful of distilleries, Japanese whisky has moved fast to develop its own unique style – or rather styles – and has met with growing acclaim in the West in recent years. From light and precise to smoky and fat, its malts and blends offer a world of whisky in miniature.
It takes two
The early years of Japanese whisky are dominated by two men: Masataka Taketsuru and Shinjiro Torii. Taketsuru was famously sent to Scotland in 1918 to learn about whisky-making, studying in Glasgow and getting hands-on experience in Speyside and Campbeltown before returning to Japan with a head full of facts and a Scottish wife.
When he joined forces with Torii in about 1921, Taketsuru's vision was to build a distillery on the remote northern island of Hokkaido – the part of the country he thought most mirrored Scotland. However, Torii feared this was too far from the main markets of central Honshu, vetoed the idea and instead built Yamazaki on the outskirts of Kyoto in 1923.
Taketsuru swallowed his reservations and worked as Yamazaki's first distillery manager before leaving in 1934 to strike out on his own and finally realise his dream: the building of the Yoichi distillery on Hokkaido.
Eighty years later, the companies founded by Torii and Taketsuru – Suntory and Nikka respectively – still dominate the Japanese whisky industry. But, unlike the twin monoliths of Scotch whisky, Diageo and Pernod Ricard, they don't have dozens of distilleries, but only four between them.
Chameleons of distillation
While Scotland took centuries to build up a critical mass of about 100 malt distilleries, all with subtly different styles, Japan wanted to move faster, and with just a small number of sites. What's more, Suntory and Nikka don't trade whisky with each other – which, as in Scotland, would increase their blending options.
What developed was a very different model of distillation: plants like Yamazaki which produce a multiplicity of styles thanks to an eclectic collection of still shapes and sizes, plus a range of peated/unpeated barley, different yeast strains, fermentations, cut points – not to mention a number of cask options including the distinctive mizunara or Japanese oak.
These chameleons of distillation – Suntory stablemate Hakushu and Nikka's two plants, Yoichi and Miyagikyou, follow a broadly similar philosophy – play havoc with the notion of 'single' malt, and yet there is a common thread that unites their bottlings, from Yamazaki's floral roundness to Hakushu's precision; and from Miyagikyou's spiced fruit to Yoichi's heavy smoke.
Old and new
As in Scotland, shuttered distilleries in Japan have a cachet all their own. In particular, the unique style of Karuizawa – rich, resinous, matured in small ex-sherry casks – has gathered a cult following. Meanwhile, newer distilleries such as Ichiro Akuto's Chichibu are now attracting more and more attention.
Pioneering spirit
Japan's early debt to Scottish techniques can mask the innovative streak that runs through the country's whisky industry – a characteristic perhaps most readily appreciated in its blends.
As in Scotland, these are the drivers of the industry, comfortably outselling their single malt counterparts and, in Japan, driven by the mizuwari highball serve of whisky combined with lots of ice and water.
Blends such as Hibiki and Nikka From the Barrel are rightly lauded for their quality – but Japanese blends are equally remarkable for their experimental side, from different peating levels to the use of Japanese mizunara oak and plum wine cask finishes.
Did you know?
- Masataka Taketsuru's mission to establish Yoichi in Japan's far north started life as a venture to make apple juice, known as The Great Japan Juice Company
- when in Scotland, Taketsuru underwent a five-day crash course in distillation at Longmorn, also studying grain distillation at Bo'ness and spending five months at Hazelburn in Campbeltown
- Suntory's vast Hakushu distillery once produced some 30m litres of spirit a year from two huge stillhouses, making it the largest plant of its kind in the world at the time

SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. (Oct. 16, 2010) – Junior forward Shara Robertson tapped in a pass from first year forward Stephanie Slysz in the waning minutes of overtime, lifting the Mount Holyoke College field hockey team to a dramatic 3-2 triumph over MIT this afternoon at the Mount Holyoke Turf Field.
With the win, the Lyons put an end to MIT's nine match winning streak. The Engineers entered the contest sitting atop the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) standings with a perfect 5-0 mark. They had secured 12 straight victories over league foes, dating back to the middle of the 2009 campaign.
MIT jumped out to a 1-0 advantage just over six minutes into the match, when junior forward Kameron Klauber took two steps into the circle and fired a shot past junior goalkeeper Katie Gibson from the right side. It was her team leading 18th tally of the year.
Mount Holyoke responded with the equalizer at the 25:04 mark, when junior defender Tricia Chase registered her third goal of the fall. Classmate Taylor Hedges got the play started with a long cross from the right side. Sophomore forward Angelica Pascual redirected the pass to Chase, who collected the ball in the middle of the circle and beat senior Keri Dixon.
With momentum on their side, the Lyons grabbed their first lead of the day on a goal by Slysz in the 57th minute. The play began with a pass from the midfield that made its way into the circle. Dixon came off her line uncontested, but her clear attempt was intercepted by Slysz, who marched in alone and knocked in her sixth goal of the season.
Refusing to go away, MIT took advantage of a penalty corner opportunity to knot things up at two in the final minutes of regulation. Sophomore midfielder Molly McShane finished off the play after several short passes in the circle. Her third tally of the season sent the contest to overtime. Klauber was credited with the assist.
Both sides went scoreless in overtime until the 99th minute, when Slysz gained control of the ball in the midfield, dribbled past several MIT defenders and slid a pass around Dixon toward the cage. The feed made its way to a streaking Robertson, who calmly redirected it over the line from the left side. It was her third winner of the season and the 10th of her outstanding career. Robertson's 11 goals this year are good for tops on the team.
The Engineers fell despite edges in both shots (28-16) and penalty corners (11-9).
Gibson was once again outstanding for the Lyons. The junior came up with a season best 15 saves, including five in overtime. At the other end, Dixon turned away five shots for the Engineers.
Both squads will return to action on Tuesday. Mount Holyoke (7-5, 2-3 NEWMAC) will round out its three match homestand against WPI at 7:00 p.m., while MIT (13-2, 5-1 NEWMAC) will host Wellesley College at 6:00 p.m.

Performing three different endurance exercises - running, cycling and swimming - reduces the risk of injuries and boredom.
Although you may not be interested in doing a triathlon, the three activities, running, cycling and swimming, make for excellent cross-training exercises. Performing three different endurance exercises reduces the risk of injuries and boredom.
While running and cycling both involve the leg muscles, running emphasizes the rear thigh (hamstrings) muscles, whereas cycling emphasizes the front thigh (quadriceps) muscles. Also, running requires weight-bearing exercise from a standing posture, whereas cycling requires weight-supported exercise from a sitting position.
Swimming involves both the upper body and legs, but the majority of propulsive power is produced by the chest, back and arm muscles. Unlike running and cycling, swimming is performed from a horizontal body position, and in a fluid medium. Swimming and cycling eliminate the landing forces and shock absorption associated with running, which further enhances their value as cross-training activities.
As a guideline, I recommend three cross-training sessions a week for beginning exercisers and up to six cross-training sessions a week for more advanced exercisers. For example, a sensible beginning fitness program may feature cycling on Mondays, swimming on Wednesdays, and running on Fridays. A more advanced cross-training schedule may include cycling on Mondays and Thursdays, swimming on Tuesdays and Fridays, and running on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Even though cross training reduces the risk of overuse injuries, I recommend some specific strategies for further enhancing exercise safety.
Running Tips: To reduce shock to the feet, legs and lower back, do most of your running on softer surfaces, such as wooded paths, stone dust jogging paths, grassy athletic fields or composition tracks. Also, invest in well-designed running shoes that fit properly (loose in the toe box and snug in the heel) and provide appropriate motion control. Knowledgeable running shoe store personnel can advise you on the best shoe for your foot type, for example, straight last shoes for low-arched feet and curved last shoes for high-arched feet. Try to run during cooler times of day, and in shaded areas whenever possible. Avoid running on the sides of roads and beaches, as these sloped surfaces place uneven stress on feet, legs and hips, which increases injury potential. If you run with a friend, your running pace should permit you to converse in short sentences. If you can't talk, you are running faster than necessary to promote physical fitness.
Cycling Tips: Although more expensive than a pair of running shoes, a good bicycle is basically a one-time investment that pays years of health/fitness benefits if used properly and regularly. Most cycle shop owners are expert at selecting the bicycle that best fits your cycling needs and body dimensions. Essential cycling accessories include a well-fitted helmet, water bottle, padded bike shorts, tire pump, spare tubes and (possibly) biking shoes. Always ride with traffic, preferably on roads with relatively wide shoulders. Be on watch for cars turning in front of you or pulling out of driveways, especially in more populated areas. If convenient, bike as often as possible on designated bike paths or non-vehicle areas such as Wompatuck State Park.
If you prefer off-road cycling you will definitely exercise your upper body muscles along with your legs, and you will typically travel more varied terrain. However, you typically have a higher risk of spills, so learn the ropes from experienced trail riders before venturing into wooded areas by yourself.
Swimming Tips: August and September have the warmest ocean temperatures. However, whether you prefer ocean waters, lakes or pools, it is advisable to swim with a partner whenever possible. Also, swimming in shallow (four to five feet) water is always safer than swimming in deep (overhead) water. Swimming parallel to shore makes more sense than swimming out and back in large bodies of water.
Unlike running and cycling, swimmers have several stoke options for exercising in the water. While the crawl stroke is most effective and efficient, periodically interspersing periods of backstroke, breaststroke or sidestroke can make the swimming session more enjoyable by changing the pace, as well as by involving different movement patterns and muscle groups.
Other than a bathing suit, goggles may be your only other investment.
In terms of training duration, I recommend about 20 to 30 minutes of running, about 20 to 30 minutes of swimming, and approximately 40 to 60 minutes of cycling. Of course, beginners should start with shorter exercise segments before progressing gradually to longer training sessions.

"Nearly a decade after Jack Goldstein's suicide, his hungry ghost has yet to make peace with his artistic hometown, Los Angeles. One of the first casualties in the lurching institutional gearshift of Jeffrey Deitch's arrival at L.A.'s Museum of Contemporary Art (culminating with Paul Schimmel's unceremonious firing from his 22-year tenure as chief curator), "Jack Goldstein X 10,000" — the artist's first North American retrospective, on view through September 9 — was shunted south, to the tony but off-the-beaten-track Orange County Museum of Art.
Back in the 1980s, OCMA was the Newport Beach Museum, where Schimmel cut his curatorial teeth and made his initial impact on the L.A. art scene. The circularity, careerist intrigue, and absurdity of the situation would probably have delighted Goldstein, though it might just as well have given him stomach cramps.
Goldstein's name is unfamiliar to many, though at one point his stock was ranked equal to such fellow travelers in the Pictures Generation and Neo-Geo movements as Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, and Jeff Koons, as well as John Baldessari, David Salle, Ross Bleckner, James Welling, and other community members from the newly founded California Institute of the Arts in the early '70s.
Dubbed the CalArts Mafia, this tightly knit, ambitious circle was the subject of Goldstein's last testament: Jack Goldstein and the CalArts Mafia, his spectacular collaborative oral autobiography with Richard Hertz (and 11 other contributors), which manages to be both bleak and exhilarating in its unflinching examination of the neurotic machinations behind art world success and failure.
Failure is the lurking terror throughout the volume — originally published in 2003 and recently reissued by Minneola Press — and some pathological pas de deux with failure led Goldstein to hang himself a few days after finalizing the book's contents and design. Having burned most of his bridges through an abrasively confrontational interpersonal style and a spiraling appetite for hard drugs, Goldstein found himself forgotten by the mid '90s, living without electricity in a trailer amid the cholo culture of East L.A. and working as a day laborer to pay for his daily junk.
Tabloid titillation aside, these biographical dimensions lend tremendous gravitas to Goldstein's work, whose dark humor, theatricality, control-freak precision, and ostentatious disinterest in the physical experience of creative action might seem as affected as Koons's if they hadn't been backed up with the most anti-physical control-freak theatricality possible. The obliteration of the figure, the dismantling of the artist's presence, the poetic obsession with recurrence, duration, and ephemerality — and other motifs that crop up throughout Goldstein's career — are, ironically, fleshed out and made more substantial by the artist's final disappearing act..."
