Dr. Hsiao-Wuen HonIn November of 2008, Microsoft Research Asia celebrated more than a decade of innovation, collaboration, and talent development. For more than 10 years, our researchers and engineers pushed the boundaries of innovation by reaching into their imaginations and turning their ideas into reality.
Our lab will continue to tackle computing's greatest challenges with the zeal and passion that have helped to establish Microsoft Research Asia as one of the world's foremost fundamental research facilities. Today, these research efforts span more than 20 different fields and include disciplines such as natural user interface, multimedia, data-intensive computing, search and online advertising, and fundamental subjects in computer science.
As we enter our second decade, the values and traditions that we have created over the last 10 years will continue to feed our success and future growth. We will continue to foster a research environment and culture that is open to new ideas, that sets high standards for research excellence, that recognizes the value of peer review and sharing our results with the academic community, and that understands that success cannot come without taking risks.
One reflection of this culture is the tradition we have built over the years of openly publishing and sharing our research and knowledge with the international community. To date, researchers at Microsoft Research Asia have published more than 3,000 papers in top international journals and conferences, including SIGGRAPH, SIGIR, CVPR, ACL, and WWW. These efforts have frequently resulted in international recognition. Within this past year, the lab was presented with the "Best Paper" awards at the CVPR 2009, IEEE CSVT 2009, PCM 2008, and NSDI'09 conferences, and the "Best Demo" awards at NSDI 2009 and the influential MobiSys 2008 conference.
The lab has also made tremendous strides toward building on our strong talent development programs. Many of the young researchers, who joined us in the early years, are now experts in their respective fields, leading teams as research managers or senior researchers. They have mentored thousands of interns, who have passed through our doors and gone on to use the knowledge they have gained at our lab to help build stronger economies throughout Asia. Our efforts have been recognized by governments in the region, including the Chinese Ministry of Education, which has honored Microsoft Research Asia with a "Special Contribution Award" in each of the past five years.
As we have grown, our commitment to fostering talent and to helping build healthy IT ecosystems in the region has expanded. In nine years, we have extended the scope of our university relations programs by establishing joint labs with universities in Asia, conducting joint research programs, and hosting top-notch visiting professors at our lab. These relationships have allowed us to create new opportunities for both Microsoft and academia in the Asia Pacific region.
As the head of Microsoft Research Asia, I am very proud of our researchers and engineers. I am also highly appreciative of our partners for their continued support. Our collective hard work has helped to build the lab into what it is today. As was so famously announced to the world on the cover of the MIT Technology Review, I am confident that "the World's Hottest Computer Lab" holds even greater promise as we move forward and make history by breaking new barriers and define the future of computing.

We have a big problem in our organization. We can't provision accounts as we want.
Users need to log in with a user (ex. U123 ) and send mails with ( realname@domain) . The only way I've seen to do this is with aliases. (realname@domain is ian alias of U123@domain).
When I provision an account and alias, the default identity is U123@domain and we can't change this via command line.
* Zimbra Comunity 4.5.9
* Authentication with Active Directory.
* User provisioning with zmprov.
- ActiveDirectory user (for example. -> U123)
- Desired mailbox -> email@example.com
* User logs in with U123
* When the user sends mail zimbra uses firstname.lastname@example.com as default identity, so we have to make an alias and (manually) change the option "send messages with this identity" and the user can send with "email@example.com".
- We need to do an automatic provisioning with zmprov from a csvfile and we haven't found how to change the default identity.
I don't know if I can make it with "zmprov modifyIdentity..." ¿where is this command documented?
modifyIdentity(mid) {name@domain|id} {identity-name} [attr1 value1 [attr2 value2...]]
- ¿Is it possible to hide from gal a mailbox from command line?

Group is set up to look at seven day working in the NHS
Authors: Gareth Iacobucci
Publication date: 20 Dec 2012
Doctors working in the NHS in England will be required to work across seven days a week, under new plans tabled by the NHS Commissioning Board.
Hospital consultants and GPs face having their hours reorganised to give patients the same level of service at weekends as they receive during the week, to bring the health service in line with other sectors.
The proposals, included in the board's first planning guidance for 2013-14,[1] will initially focus on improving access to diagnostics and urgent and emergency care but could extend to surgery in the future. General practices will be expected to extend their opening hours to weekends as part of the drive.
The BMA warned that the plans, which may require doctors' contracts to be rewritten to guarantee seven day cover, did not give due consideration to the cost of implementing seven day working. But the guidance said that the move was "essential to offer a much more patient-focused service" and would also "improve clinical outcomes and reduce costs."
The board's medical director, Bruce Keogh, will establish a forum of national and local commissioners, service providers, and regulators to identify how to take forward the plans. The forum, which will report in the autumn of 2013, will examine the consequences of the non-availability of clinical services seven days a week and come up with proposals to tackle current deficiencies.
In an interview with the Sunday Times Keogh said that it was no longer acceptable for healthcare to be run for the benefit of doctors rather than patients and that the NHS should follow the lead of private sector companies such as the supermarket chain Tesco.[2]
He asked, "If you wanted a day case operation, and you didn't want to take a day off work, why can't you have it on a Saturday or Sunday?
"If you are an elderly person who struggles to get to the hospital, why does your niece, nephew, son or daughter have to take a day or a half day off work to take you to and from the hospital purely for the convenience of the people who are running it?"
He added, "Tesco have had to go through this—it was a complex issue for them.
"As we think this through, we will need to look again at the terms and conditions of service of people — their employment conditions."
David Nicholson, the NHS Commissioning Board's chief executive, said, "There are big challenges—not least the financial backdrop—but we must be ambitious. We want to make the NHS the best customer service in the world by doing more to put patients in the driving seat."
The announcement came after the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges published a paper earlier this month saying that patients in hospital had a right to the same standard of care seven days a week.[3]
Dean Royles, director of NHS Employers, welcomed the move to look at a seven day service. "We want to ensure we have contracts of employment and a reward system that are better aligned to delivering services through the week," he said.
But the BMA's chairman of council, Mark Porter, was more cautious, warning, "While we are committed to improving services at weekends and in the evenings, today's proposals to provide routine NHS procedures seven days a week are too crude and fail to take into account the resources, investment, and flexibility that will be needed to achieve this."
Richard Thompson, president of the Royal College of Physicians, said, "For some time the RCP has been concerned that acute hospital care at weekends needs to improve."
But he added, "We believe that to make this aim a reality some services will need to be redesigned and [this] may have resource implications."

circuits, leds, actuators, glass jars
"Automatic Glassware" is an electronic installation work of hundreds of autonomous light and sound generators that collectively produce an evolving field of audiovisual polyrhythms. Inside glass jars a simple circuit fires an led and actuator at one of three musical intervals. As time passes and batteries slowly die, the individual generators align and drift from their neighboring generators creating semi-random shapes of light and sound that course throughout the installation.

Wins over East Valley, Colville cement first-round home game
February 7, 2013 | Vol. 116 -- No. 42
The Cheney boys' basketball team locked up at least a home playoff game with a pair of wins last week. The Blackhawks extended a one-point halftime lead by outscoring East Valley 31-21 in the second half to down the host Knights 58-49 Tuesday, and followed that with a 78-56 blowout of visiting Colville Thursday.
Cheney's tight defense frustrated the Knights (4-7, 8-11) Tuesday, preventing any good inside opportunities and limiting East Valley to outside shooting. Meanwhile the Blackhawks' offense was able to penetrate and get easy baskets, particularly Eric Igbinoba's second half effort where head coach Joel Soter said they basically cleared out the key and let the senior drive to the hoop.
"He just basically took over in the second half," Soter said. "He did that (drive to the hoop) five times in a row and scored on three."
Igbinoba led all scorers with 23 points, going 7 for 7 from the line to go with five assists and three blocks. Theo Petropoulos added 10 points, including a pair of 3s, as Cheney shot 53 percent from the field, 33 percent from beyond the arc while East Valley went 34 and 13 percent respectively.
Cheney committed just seven turnovers to the Knights' 18, and went 10 for 11 from the line. What kept EV in the game was a 17-for-21 effort from the charity stripe, Soter said.
"It still felt like one of those games where we were in control," he added.
Thursday the visiting Indians (4-7, 8-11) were without two of their best players, 6-foot, 9-inch Division I college prospect Matt Hubbard, a junior, and senior guard Jay Shoemaker. Soter said their absence wasn't all that much of a factor since the Blackhawks' game plan was to defensively bring Hubbard out of the key and limit Colville to outside shooting, something they did anyway.
The Blackhawks never trailed, taking a 36-24 lead into halftime and blowing the game open with a 19-5 run in first 5 minutes, 25 seconds of the third quarter. Cheney shot 55 percent from the field, 71.4 percent from the line and 60 percent from 3-point range.
Igbinoba had 15 points as did sophomore guard Alex Berman, including three 3s in the second half, while H.D. Wyborney added 11. Cheney committed 12 turnovers to Colville's nine, but had a season-high 20 assists.
"That's the best we've moved the ball around all year," Soter said.
The wins move Cheney to 6-5 in Great Northern League play, fourth, and 10-9 overall with one game remaining, Thursday's home finale – Senior Night – with third-place Clarkston (6-4, 12-6). Soter said the Blackhawks were out-hustled in a 55-42 loss to the Bantams Jan. 18, and believes they have a better game coming.
Depending on the outcome of Clarkston's game Tuesday with second-place West Valley (6-4, 13-5) a Blackhawks win could open any number of scenarios moving them up in playoff position, possibly as high as No. 2 and accompanying first-round bye. More likely it could determine Cheney's bracketing, and how far they might have to travel should they advance past the loser-out round.
"It's a huge game, just to put us in the best spot to be in," Soter said.

With only 2 weeks left of the CrossFit Scottsdale Body Rx Challenge, this week we are looking to optimize everyone's results and challenge you to truly focus on what foods you may still be letting in. Sugar is already non-Paleo but it can still show up in challenges and peoples' Paleo diets in the form of honey, agave nectar, 100% pure maple syrup, and fruit. Now fruit isn't always bad but can really slow things up when we are looking for fat loss and leaning out. Also if you are craving something sweet these are your go to items yet what we really need to focus on is the craving itself, if it is going to support our goals and breaking the habit in the first place. If you always crave something sweet after dinner for example changing from ice cream to fruit is a much better choice but it is still creating a similar response in your body and is still sugar. What if we could cut that craving out all together? Your challenge is to cut out all sugars for 7 days. This means no baking with these either (sorry). Note that cutting out sugar does not mean cut out all carbohydrates. Vegetables are still allowed and very much encouraged! So your tip is if when you do crave something sweet have a snack with protein and fat instead. This will help switch the signals you are giving your body and in turn the signals your body gives you.
Now we all know that cravings are not just as simple as having strong "will power". Here is how one of our Paleo Ambassadors Stu approached his cravings:
"Recently, I've been looking at cravings from a different angle. After 15 years of having about 5+ sodas per day, I'm happy to say I haven't touched one in about a month now. I did it by thinking about what I truly crave for. I crave for a level of health and fitness that lets me climb mountains. I crave for the ability to bike long distances. I crave for the ability to swim. I crave for the ability to hike anywhere, not just where there's an easy trail you can park next to. I crave for longevity. I basically crave for having no limits because of my health or physical condition.
With that in mind, it honestly became pretty easy to avoid unhealthy food and I don't even try to make substitutes or only cheat a little. I view those sodas and unhealthy foods as something that is cancerous to my goals and the lifestyle I'm working so hard to obtain. Food is something that is meant to make me healthier and enable me to do great things for a long time, it's not something that is meant to be the cornerstone of a social gathering that has to taste "good". The feeling you will get at the end of the road having achieved your goals will be FAR greater than the taste of anything sweet.
Here's a video that I watched a few weeks back that helped me break my addiction to sugar and really place my health first before what I wanted to taste while eating.
Stay strong and determined folks, this is the only life you have."

Latest Love, Rosie Trailer Arrives
Love is complicated for Sam Claflin and Lily Collins
Following on from the His & Hers promos for Love, Rosie, here comes the full-length trailer for the adaptation of Cecelia Ahern's novel. While it continues its egregious attempts to convince the movie going public that Sam Claflin is a stuttering, spotty, awkward nice guy – sorry Finnick, not buying it, mate – it also includes a more straightforward look at the story.
Friends since childhood, Rosie (Lily Collins) and Alex (Claflin) are now trying to navigate the tricky paths of young adulthood. Their friendship is still strong, but there are those extra feelings that neither of them is quite ready to confront, beyond a few misguided attempts. Then their lives appear to diverge – Rosie falls pregnant after sleeping with another guy and Alex is accepted to Harvard, which means moving to the US. When Rosie tells a beautiful friend to look up him up on their travels, she ends up engaged to Alex… The course of sort-of-true-love, eh?
With Christian Cooke, Suki Waterhouse, Tamsin Egerton, Art Parkinson, Jaime Winstone and Jake Manley among the cast, Love, Rosie will be out on October 22.

Our intent has always been to return to France full-time...and we do not want to give up our residence cards....however, does our house in France now become a secondary home? We received a form asking us if it is our primary or secondary home? We have always paid state and federal taxes in US ...never paid in France (and recommended by French accountant) (under double treaty) (always paid only tax d'habitation and fonciere) ...and have never had any income generated from France or worked in France. Can our home in France remain our primary residence even though we are now renting in CA ...since we will return fulltime to France in a few years or as soon as possible ?
OK to cancel. Thank you.

JOPLIN, MO.--- The $2 million facility opened yesterday to all congregants. The celebration ran in correlation with the end of the holy month of Ramadan. Some construction is still underway, both inside and outside. The facility will be open to men five times a day so they can pray. Women and children will go to the building for special occasions.
The original mosque burnt to the ground in the early morning hours of August 6, 2012. Authorities later determined the building was deliberately set on fire. No one has ever been arrested in this case. The Muslim community used a temporary space in a strip mall while their new facility was being built.

Biomarker tags AstraZeneca's clot buster activity in patient subgroup
A review of the results from AstraZeneca's ($AZN) PLATO study of its Brilinta (ticagrelor) clot buster has found that people with increased levels of biomarker high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT), which picks out heart muscle damage, respond to the drug. PLATO (PLATelet Inhibition and Patient Outcomes) is a large, head-to-head patient outcomes study of Brilinta versus Plavix (clopidogrel).
The researchers looked at a subgroup of patients from the trial, who had non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and were managed by revascularization or medical management.
In those patients in the subgroup with elevated hs-TnT, Brilinta tablets reduced cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (MI; heart attack), and stroke compared with the PLATO population as a whole. The number of patients without elevated hs-TnT was small, so the outcomes in these patients were not quite clear.
"Hs-TnT is an important new biomarker that provides a much better ability to identify patients with ongoing myocardial damage. This biomarker allowed identification of NSTE-ACS patients with low levels of myocardial damage that would not have been detected by previous testing," said James Ferguson, AZN's executive director of medical affairs and strategic development and VP for global medical affairs.

Most of my moments of inspiration come to me in the bath, as I'm falling asleep, or in the middle of the night from dreams.
Please give us a brief bio of yourself.
Whilst completing a seemingly everlasting number of fine art degrees at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney, I began working commercially in digital design, firstly in my own business; on top of teaching at university, part-running a gallery and keeping up my own arts practice - and taking on any other jobs I could find, including training as a theatrical taxidermist to pay the bills!
Whilst still keeping my design business running, I took on a job as digital Creative Director of a publishing house in Sydney in 1997 - helping them to move all of their magazines online, and from there went to digital agency deepend, who had just opened a Sydney office.
Their head office (and love) is what brought me to London in 2000, and I've gradually worked my way up the design ranks at agencies here, with a spattering of uni lecturing thrown in, before joining glue at the beginning of 2005 to head up their brilliant design department.
We work for a huge range of clients here: Adidas, Mini, Sky, Mc Cain, 3, Eurostar, Virgin, Coke, Navy, Marines, Barcardi to name a few... all really good fun.
I still do as much art as I can, and keep myself out of trouble helping to run She Says, an organisation set up to encourage women to broaden their horizons and look at a creative career in digital...
There are too few of us out there, and too hard to find! You can find out more at http://www.myspace.com/shesaysuk
What do you do for inspiration?
I'm an avid absorber of design everywhere - not just online. I get out to plenty of exhibitions, filter and collect flyers and other material, take screenshots and shoot street images on my phone.
I'll often hold onto something for ages because it has an interesting design feature to it - a font or a layout. I also collect colour palettes I see around me, to use later. A really good book often sparks a hundred visual ideas - I'm forever writing down song words and sentences from novels I find interesting in some way.
I'll also spend time really soaking up the brands I'm working on until I really start to feel their personality as a physical presence - the designs just fall out of that.
Most of my moments of inspiration come to me in the bath, as I'm falling asleep, or in the middle of the night from dreams. I've kept a dream diary since I was about 15, and that's a great source of material too.
Please list 3 of your favourite sites.
1. We Make Money Not Art - I check this site every morning for an instant shot of creativity. It's pure genius - and always makes you think about where digital is going post-monitor...
2. Elektra Digital Arts Fesatival - I fell in love with this site when it was first launched and it remains one of my favourites – it's just SO beautiful as a piece of pure design... and so simple.
3. The work we've just launched for Adidas - http://www.impossiblestory.com/. This was such a collaborative piece of work, and a great opportunity for everyone to let their imaginations run wild!
What do you regard as being your biggest achievement?
I'm really proud of so many things I've accomplished on my own and with my team here at glue- every piece of work, every time a designer here does something amazing and every opportunity I get to do something like this...
I think the trick is to always take pride in even the smallest jobs and opportunities... Can I say winning the competition at primary school for being the fastest rope-skipper when I was 10? (Editor's note: My brother won a similar title but he's not so keen to bring it up in conversation.)
What software couldn't you live without?
I'm still a total sucker for Photoshop - no matter how much time I spend in Flash, Illustrator and the rest, using Photoshop is like coming back to an old friend... I'm starting to play around with Processing too at the moment to see what it can do.
What projects do you have in the pipeline?
So much! We've got some great work for McCain coming up, some lovely Adidas advertising and a really extraordinary top-secret project launching in September... And we're just about to get started on Eurostar and 3...
Who do you rate as being the top 3 design companies?
For pure (digital) design I still love Hi-ReS! - I think I spent more time on the Donnie Darko site when it first came out than any other site before or since...
Umeric is a great little digital design house in Sydney
And I'd like to think that we're somewhere near the top there... http://www.gluelondon.com though I love the guys at Kleber too.
What area of web design lacks the most?
I think that digital design in general is too susceptible to fads - 15% grey one minute, left-aligned Helvetica caps the next... A lot of it lacks a reference point outside its own medium... that, and a real honesty and empathy for a client's brand values...
What did your very first site look like? Is it still online?
My very first site was geekgirl, "The World's First Feminist Hyperzine" in 1994, which I did with Rosie X in Australia.
If you could see it now you'd be shocked by how primitive everything looked, and how non-existent our tools were!
Back then there were no WYSIWYG editors for HTML, and any animations were gifs or (eventually) Shockwave files.
Everything was written in Simpletext. I concentrated on the layout/design and Rosie looked after the editorial, and it was a real labour of love getting every issue out - writing tables by hand and having to re-save and check your updates in your browser every 5 mins... At least there was only one browser to check!
I still remember the joy of Flash coming out and how frustrating its lack of decent bitmap support was in the early days!
The geekgirl URL is still active, and has gone through many incarnations, but Rosie uses it as a blog now... http://www.geekgirl.com.au
I think some of my early attempts at Shockwave are still online somewhere...
The earliest Flash site of mine that's still online is probably for the photographer Alistair Dunn, from about 2001. I remember thinking that the coding was so advanced back then... it certainly looks pretty rudimentary now!
Have you written any books, if not do you plan to?
I've been a contributor in a couple of things, and am working in collaboration to put together something bigger for 2008.
What was the toughest thing you ever did with Flash? How long did you spend on it? Is it still online?
At glue, everything is such a collaborative effort, so I guess the toughest things I've done in Flash are the projects I've done for friends, where you are trying to finish every little piece of the project yourself, from the XML all the way through to the fancy trimmings and copywriting... and doing it all between 9pm and 3am every night!
Do you think Flash is here to stay?
Absolutely - though we tend to do a lot of our work in After Effects as well now, there'll always be a place for Flash, its interactivity and its ubiquitous delivery. Its come on so far since being a poor cousin to Director.
The nicest projects we do currently tend to be an amalgam of different techniques and software, pulled together into Flash. I think the crossover between After Effects and Flash, and how it'll be addressed by Adobe is going to be really interesting over the next few years...
What are your views on design/graphic school? Do you think someone can get into the field without educational experience in a school environment?
I did Fine Arts, not Design, though at a campus with a great Design degree, and a lot of the technical skills I use I taught myself - so if you're really pro-active I think you can come from everywhere, and I certainly don't disclude people without a conventional degree when I'm looking for newbies at glue! Portfolio and personality is the key!
Having said that, I found college absolutely invaluable for the contacts I made there, the creative environment I had to work in and the access to facilities to allow me to experiment - that would have been almost impossible on my own.
It also taught me to think critically, to think about the "why" as well as the "what" and "how", and got me used to the idea of a more disciplined approach to work - something that seems lacking in a lot of CVs I've seen from people without a college degree.
So, in a nutshell it doesn't really matter where you come from, but I can't overemphasise how good (and how much fun) a degree can be for getting you started, if you're into that kind of thing.
When your company was just getting started, what did you find was most effective for getting new clients?
I can't speak for glue, but in my own business I certainly found that word of mouth got me more clients than anything else I could have done.
Spending time understanding their needs, delivering great work on time and on budget and always putting a little bit more than you had to into a project means a good recommendation.
How have you learned so many Flash/design skills and techniques and can you offer any advice for newbies?
Personally, I've been lucky in that I've been designing for the web since 1994, so I've picked up a lot along the way.
It was all self-taught though, and I think the best advice for newbies is to really go for it - be passionate - teach yourself, set yourself briefs, ask your local business if you can put together sites and identity work for them... above all take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way. I'm still always learning something new!
What is the most expensive thing you've bought in the last week?
It wasn't very expensive, but I bought some huge vinyl stickers for my walls from a great French site that does vinyl art from Genevieve Gaukler, Tado and others: http://www.domestic.fr
What type of overcoat do you wear when Flashing, basically are you a labels man?
I'm a labels woman, thankyou very much ;-) (Editor's note: busted again)
Any parting shots or pearls of wisdom?
Don't wait for your ship to come in, swim out and meet it...
It's been a privilege, thanks very much.
Always a pleasure!

Pressing flowers in the microwave
If you don't have the time to press flowers the traditional way, you can press flowers in the microwave and have them ready in minutes. You can find microwave flower presses at craft and garden stores. This is my favourite method because flowers keep most of their colour.
- Place your flowers between the cotton sheets that come with the microwave press.
- "Cook" the press in short bursts, starting at about 35 seconds and then 20 seconds for each subsequent burst until dried and pressed.
- The press will get very hot. Remove your pressed flowers and let it cool down.
How to store your pressed flowers
If you are not going to use your pressed flowers right away, store them in a safe place, such as between paper sheets, in a plastic bag, out of the light.
Get creative with your pressed flowers
Once you're preserved your blooms, you'll want to show them off! Here are some ideas.
- Make greeting cards, note paper and tags
- Frame pressed flower collages under glass
- Create a mini wreath
- Add to Christmas ornaments
- Press into candles and soaps

Tebow about to join in on Broncos-Chargers feud
As differently as the two sons of the Deep South play the position of quarterback — night and day, y'all — there are other more relevant similarities between Philip Rivers and Tim Tebow.
Both arrived in the AFC West as first-round selections, albeit with considerable machinations and widespread angst over the pick, and something about each's throwing style prompted "experts" to wonder aloud about how their particular styles might inhibit them in the NFL.
But there was that one very important thing, the one thing that nobody could deny about both, the one thing that sounded like an insult wrapped in a compliment, or vice versa:
They win. They just win. All they do is win.
"Much was made of (Tebow's) throwing motion coming out of college, just like it was mine," said Rivers. "I'm a fan of the game, and watching him in college, he's a super competitor and his teams find ways to win. … Anytime you've got a guy like that at quarterback, you've got a chance."
Rivers and Tebow will meet for the first time as opposing starters Sunday at Invesco Field, a place Tebow electrified a week ago with his first NFL triumph, quarterbacking the Denver Broncos to a stunning comeback over Houston. That the Texans' head coach is Gary Kubiak — the Broncos' quarterback coach and offensive coordinator when John Elway was winning Super Bowls — was not mere insignificant in Denver.
"He is exactly what you thought coming out of college," Kubiak said of Tebow after the one-point loss. "He is a winner. He will find a way to make a play. He will find a way to move the chains. He found a way to win a game today, and that is what this league is about."
Albeit against one of the worst pass defenses in the league, the left-handed rookie completed 16-of-29 passes for 308 yards and a touchdown, but he also played the old Tebow card and had another touchdown among his 10 carries. Only one quarterback in Broncos history had ever pulled out a win after a 17-point halftime deficit, and his name was Frank Tripucka (in 1960 and '62), not Elway.
That was only the Broncos' fourth win of the season, their first in six weeks and second in 11 games. Just the first taste of victory after such a long drought was enough to give the Mile High City a gripping case of Tebowmania.
Even those in Denver who'd howled on and on about what a mistake it was to draft Tebow, if only for a day, had to agree with those who had been screaming most of the season that Tebow should be starting instead of Kyle Orton. Love him or hate him, it seems, you have to love or hate Tim Tebow. Sometimes both.
"I guess you have a lot of people talking about you, a lot of questions thrown out, but I count it as a blessing," said Tebow, asked on a conference call what it feels like to constantly be at the center of a raging debate about his NFL worthiness. "It gives me a great opportunity to do a lot of great things with my foundation and help a lot of kids. You have to deal with a lot of scrutiny, a lot of obstacles, a lot of people saying things about you that at the end of the day gives me a platform to walk into hospitals to help kids, so I appreciate that."
And there it is. Typical Tebow. He's been handling questions about his NFL value like he handled the national-championship trophy at Florida and the Heisman Trophy of 2006. With a smile on high beam.

This is true:
As all of you know, vacations freaking rule. You eat and drink whatever you want. You wake up when you want. Go to bed when you want. You are relieved from the majority of life's stresses for that time being. Sun, family and fun are your top priorities.
Until you have kids.

Indeed. Then vacations become all about keeping them occupied. Not to say that can't be fun, but it's certainly NOT the same. ;-)

Ha. Funny stuff. I was with my sister, who has twin 2-year olds along with a 4-year old. I know exactly what you guys are talking about!
Okay, Chris--so you teased us about Daley and Rogers, then only talked about Rogers. So....what have you heard about Daley?
Whom, I might add, was one of those "no profile" players when Atif Austin called the Cyclone football offices.
Go Cyclones!

It's like Christmas came early this year! NBC got all of their star players together for this magical little video to celebrate the Superbowl on NBC. They took the song "Brotherhood of Man" from How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and put their own NBC spin on it.
Watch the video and tell me it's not amazing. First of all it starts of with 30 Rock (fabulous) and includes appearances from the casts of The Office (love), Community (omg! it's my favorite show!), Smash and so many more. It's like a who's who of NBC. Check it out and let us know who your favorite NBC star is in the comments. I'm pretty partial to the entire cast of Community. Love it so much.

Berthod Cyclist attacker avoids Jail time
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From the ReporterHerald of Fort Collins
It is being reported that the Berthold cyclist attacker will be avoiding jail time. His attack on a group of cyclist July 18th of 2010 around the town of Berthod with a baseball bat left the group terrorized one bike destroyed. The attacker, Bryce Barker, was found guilty of criminal mischief charge to $500 to $1,000, making it a Class 1 misdemeanor. The menacing with a deadly weapon charge is a class 5 felony.
Berthoud resident Bryce Barker will spend two years on probation but no time in the county jail for an attack on cyclists near his home – an incident surrounded by differing perceptions.
"You totally misperceived the situation," the 8th Judicial District judge said Tuesday while sentencing Barker for felony menacing and misdemeanor criminal mischief.
"You perceived a threat that just wasn't there ...You are guilty of these offenses as the jury found. You reacted inappropriately."

text: Mary Campton, NH 8/4/2011 12:55:21 PM My dog had a similar problem. When she was 8, she began "coughing" and sneezing. At first the vet thought it was kennel cough, but the medication didn't help. Then the nosebleeds started out of her right nostril. At first they were very minor, a drip here and there. Very quickly, within weeks, the nosebleeds because very intense, coming on often and strong. Sometimes they would last for an hour at a time and we had no way to control them. We did the CAT scan and Rhinoscopy as our vet recommended, and our Diggy was diagnosed with nasal cancer. After finding out how aggressive this type of cancer is, we opted to skip the radiation and try a holistic vet. We made all of her food, had her on a ton of herbs and vitamins, and we ended up losing her two months after she was diagnosed. If you are going through the same thing, I would seriously consider doing the paleative radiation...at least to give your dog more time. One thing that ABSOLUTELY helped with the nosebleeds was a chinese herbal capsule called Yunan Baiyo. We gave it to her twice a day and kept it with us if she got a bad nosebleed. Also, we had a narcotic painkiller for her that helped to relax her and I believed that helped the nosebleeds stop faster. Good luck to you all. By no means is nasal cancer an easy thing to watch your precious friend go through.

You must unlearn what you have learned – Yoda
By Alison on Dec 10, 2010 in geekery, news, Star Wars | comments(1)
I was pointed to an article last night, about a little girl named Katie. Katie is 7 and she loves Star Wars. Katie has a Star Wars water bottle that she very excitedly chose for the new school year to match her backpack.
Sounds good right? Normal kid stuff? Well, the boys at her school told her that Star Wars was only for boys. They teased her so much that she decided to leave her favorite water bottle at home and take a pink one to school instead.
But Katie's mom is awesome and she realized that there was a problem. After asking Katie why she wanted to swap bottles, Katie broke down in tears and told her mom what was going on. She loved Star Wars and Star Wars is only for boys so she couldn't use that water bottle ever again.
Katie's mom, Carrie, is a blogger. She blogs about life with an adopted child (Katie) on a Chicago blogging site. She wrote a post about teasing and the slippery slope to bullying and how she was sad that it had already started for Katie, even at age 7. She wrote about talking to Katie and telling her that she can like whatever she wants- her water bottle is perfect for Katie.
Carrie asked, almost as an aside, for female Star Wars fans to write to Katie and let her know that she wasn't alone. A few readers of Carrie's blog spread the message to their own blogs and suddenly, Katie was viral.
Literally thousands of people came out to tell Katie that it's okay to be a Star Wars fan. It's okay to love the things you love and be the person that you were always intended to be. And the really amazing part was that all of these people began sharing their stories of being different, of being picked on and feeling different because of the things that they were passionate about.
The thing that came out of all of that, at least for me, is how similar all the stories were. How many people had been picked on, who had been forced to muddle through childhood labeled as "different" because they found something that engaged them so much that they just couldn't give it up, even to fit into what society had determined was "normal."

text: This is probalby a dumb question because it seems every loaded touring forum is full of old curmudgeons who insist on everything being old school and always over prepare for the absolute worst but has anyone toured on tubeless tire setup? as a clyde I'm looking into it but the larger tire size options are simply non existent for road tubeless tires. Cyclocross tires are probably going to be far too slow on pavement but they are available in tubeless models in a 35c. I've heard that many tires that aren't billed as tubeless can work in tubeless conversions but it's more dangerous with road tires because the higher pressures mean regular tires beads will strectch and not hold a seal. I'm wondering if a 35c road tire at 50 or 60 psi would be considered high pressure though? I'm thinking that statement is meant for someone considering taking a conti 6p4000 and trying to go tubeless and inflate it to 110psi

Macro mode that does not reset
I do not know if it was discussed already, but if you turn off picture review, you can shoot as many pictures in macro mode until you change the mode yourself. If you review/play the picture, macro mode resets to normal.

text: Over the weekend of August 9,10,11 I had the very rare opportunity to visit with Captain Andrew Loiselle, CMC David Carter and LCDR Charlie Drey and their remarkable crew aboard the USS George H. W. Bush (CVN 77) aircraft carrier in the mid Atlantic. My overall experience was exciting. Learning how the Navy operates was nothing short of spectacular. It's absolutely amazing to see how our Navy continues to train so many young Americans in trades and skills that they wouldn't of otherwise had a chance at. During my short stay and living aboard the USS George H.W. Bush, by speaking with dozens of sailors, I learned that most of them joined the Navy to have a chance at learning a new skill and acquiring unrivaled experience in the process. I also found that allot of enlisted sailors joined not knowing what they wanted in life and then ended up finding their career niche while actually serving in the Navy. I was happy to find that the Navy teaches young people how to secure their finances while earning competitive pay with generous vacation time not to mention getting comprehensive health care coverage. The video and pictures you'll see in this slide show demonstrate just how important the Navy and all armed forces are regarding our nation's security cooperation efforts. This nuclear powered Carrier and all our Naval vessels play such an important role in building partnerships and establishing trust before crisis occurs during bilateral exercise and strategic port visits. Former President George H.W. Bush said it best while aboard the ship addressing the crew, and I concur, "Make no mistake; the work aboard this ship can be routinely difficult and sometimes dangerous. But the freedom we seek and peace we desire can only be found in the countless sacrifices you will make in everyday tasks you will perform." My sincere thank you to the entire staff and crew aboard the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77). You should be very proud; I know I am of you. Sean H. Hamilton

Really Bad Boss – The Best of 2010
One of my faves from August and one of the best ways to quit I've seen in a while – This one isn't quite as dramatic as the flight attendant who flew the coop, or Arnetta the Moodsetta's on air meltdown, but if it's real, it's pretty clever.
Jenny works, correction worked, for a jerk. Apparently she's had enough, and decided to quit with the assistance of messages on a dry erase board. Here's how Jenny quit her jerk of a bad boss. P.S. She emailed it to the entire office! (Images via thechive.com)

i have an array which contains only 2 types of numbers(x and x-1) eg:- {5,5,4,4,5,5,5} and i am given a range like 12-14(inclusive). i already know the length of the array is constant 7 and i also know how many elements of each type there are in an array(count)
now i need to find if there is any combination of elements in the array whose sum falls into that range.
All i need is the number of elements in the subset whose sum falls in that range.
i have solved this problem by using brute force in the following way but it is very in efficient.
here count is the number of x-1's in the array
for(int i=0;i<=7-count;i++){
for(int j=0;j<=count;j++){
if(x*(i)+(x-1)*j>=min && x*(i)+(x-1)*j<=max){
could some one plz tell me if there is a better way of solving this
the array given is {5,5,4,4,5,5,5} and the range given is 12-14.
so i would pick {5,5,4} subset whose sum is 14 and so the answer to the number of elements in the subset will be 3.{5,4,4} can also be picked in this solution

Next carrier should be named the USS Dubya, to troll the fuck out of people lol.
old news is old
on the second page
the main story of the day is probably this:
We now know what those six Russian warships that reportedly entered Syrian territorial waters last week were carrying. Aside from representing a show of strength to discourage NATO powers from launching a military attack, on board were Russian technical experts ready to help Damascus set up a sophisticated missile defense system sold to them by Moscow.
"Russian warships that have reached waters off Syria in recent days were carrying, among other things, Russian technical advisors who will help the Syrians set up an array of S-300 missiles Damascus has received in recent weeks, a report in the London-based Arabic language Al Quds-Al Arabi said Thursday. Citing sources in Syria and Russia, the paper said that Moscow sees a Western attack on Syria as a "red line" that it will not tolerate,
Besides, Russia nor China would get into a war with the US over old little shitty Syria.

im facing a federal probation violation and i need legal advice ASAP! my PO wants me to come in tomorrow and sign a paper for halfway house or otherwise go to see the judge for a hearing. the violation is for a dui that happened a year ago and has since been resolved as well as a postive drug test. problem is, halfway house will destroy my career and some business relationships ive worked several years to build. i should mention my PO does not care for me much but is halfway house the best to hope for at this point?? one last thing, i require advice before 9:00am est, 5/1/2013 or its of no use. thanks
i guess what i need to know are there mitigating factor i can use at the hearing that could get me something less than the sanction my PO is offering? if so, i would like to go into slight more detail and perhaps you can give me sound advice as to whether my chances improve at all? Also, i should note that im technically on supervised release and not probation; i served my entire time in prison, no parole or back time. Second, i have repeatedly asked for help in obtaining a psycologist or treatment as i cannot afford one on my own without insurance.

Any idea?
Hi, after a long search, found this:
Seems to work, at least with my conf.
Hope this help!
Babblo, my problem occurred months ago, so it wasn't due to the leap second bug.
My instance type is an "m1.medium", and I have also tried "m1.large" with identical results. I have 35 mailboxes. 99% of the time, "top" reports java at less than 20% CPU usage. However, when things start to go bad, I see multiple java processes using 90+ % cpu, and the web interface becomes completely unresponsive. Restarting with "zmcontrol restart" does not help. In fact, rebooting the VM instance does not help. The only thing I have found that consistently helps is a re-install of Zimbra. I have ZeXtras installed, but removing it did not cure my problem. Memory utilization does not seem affected. I never see > 40% memory usage (never over 20% on the bigger VM type) in "top". I am currently trying to get some meaningful data using "sar" to correlate the cpu usage spike with some underlying issue.
I have only a suspicion that EBS write-buffer performance may be the issue, and in certain instances, log writes are not happening fast enough, so everything gets slow. Is this even a possibility? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Upgrade your zimbra to 8.0.2. The java issue have been fix in that version, we experienced the same problem as you described, 8.0.2 fixes it.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the update. I did the 8.0.2. upgrade yesterday morning, and updated by ZeXtras extensions as well. So far 58 hours uptime no issues yet. Will keep a close eye, but for now, "so far, so good."
We have been running 8.0.2 since it came out, I think we spotted it just shortly after it was released by pure luck.
You will not have any issues from now on :-)
Sorry. NO GOOD. At 14:15 EST today, back to the same old pegged CPU at 97% usage. No one able to access web interface, Outlook and other clients unable to attach. Only recovery is by re-installing 8.0.2...

I would like to embed the call in my program and when the CPU load hits 100% I would like to capture the time.

Business Case for Diversity, My Foot
May 27, 2016
Meisinger said the announcement will not come during the SHRM Annual Conference & Exposition, which kicked off in Chicago on Sunday, June 22.
She bid farewell to SHRM at the opening session of the conference, which lasts through Wednesday.
Meisinger—who has spent 20 years at SHRM, the past six as CEO—announced her retirement in January.
At a press conference Sunday, June 22, Meisinger said that China Miner Gorman, SHRM's chief operating officer, would assume chief executive responsibilities until a new CEO is appointed.
The search committee and board have set a goal of selecting a CEO by August 1, Meisinger said.
"It's really far along," she said of the search process,

Hy people,
i've got a real blizzare problem (feature bug) on my zimbra account. When i set up a new appointement in my outlook calendar (zimbra connector) it disappear 5-10 seconds later. Not so special at all, usually it will suffice to reinstall the olk connector and configure the zimbra account again for a fresh sync.
But i encounter the same issue even when i create a new appointement over the zimbra webinterface using my account. oO
Anyone encountered the same problem yet?

My cat is breathing strange. He seems to almost gasp for ...
Resolved Question:
My cat is breathing strange. He seems to almost gasp for air and breathes through his mouth when he purrs. My vet says that big cats in the wild commonly do that and not to worry. It seems to be getting worse over time. I think there is something wrong. Would an ultrasound or other test show a possible problem with his airway or lungs when he isn't purring? Would he have to purr to show where the problem is? This would be difficult because he might not purr while getting a test.

Hi, Susan,
I would definitely bring your cat to another vet for evaluation--preferably a feline-only vet, if possible--and a chest x-ray, plus any other diagnostic tests needed, to find the problem.
If this only happens when your cat purrs, he will most probably not be purring during the vet visit or x-ray, but if there's an underlying medical problem causing these symptoms you notice when he's breathing funny/purring, a qualified vet will find it.
Cats can develop asthma, pneumonia, chylothorax (fluid in the space between the wall of the lung and the heart), FIP (feline infectious peritonitis), which can cause fluid retention in the chest cavity, and other pulmonary problems which could be causing your cat's odd breathing. Also, domestic housecats do NOT normally mouth-breathe, unless there's a problem, and they feel like they're not taking in enough oxygen, ans/or they're very hot.
Your vet's mention of the big cat 'cousins' is true, if you see films, etc., of big cats in the deserts and jungles, sometimes they DO breathe through their mouths, or 'pant', because they're overheated, and this is how they help cool themselves off; however, there is very little comparison to that action and the symptoms your cat is displaying now.
Please do your best to find another, well-recommended vet who may specialize in felines, in your area, and schedule an appt. for your cat, ASAP. An evaluation will be done, a diagnosis made, and the appropriate treatment will be provided.
Would you please keep me posted on how your cat is doing and what the vet's findings are? Thanks!
I hope he'll be just fine!

Reply to Jessesmom's Post: If my cat (Buff) becomes anxious during the x-rays, tests, or exam, is it possible for him to gasp for air so much that he can die? There isn't a cat vet close by, but should I explain your suggestion to my vet? What special tests would you recommend that my cat receive? His breathing is normal when he is not purring, but I'm afraid that he might start gasping if he becomes anxious. What are the treatments for the possible problems you mentioned? Would they be invasive or painful? My vet is considered to be one of the best vets in the state....I don't know how he could miss this.

I accepted the answer, but requested more detailed information in a reply. Please let me know if the vet is still available. Thanks so much Dr. Jessesmom.

Hi again, and you're very welcome! : )
Please allow me to clarify that I'm not a vet, but a very experienced cat expert. In answer to your additional questions, the vet's staff (vet techs, etc.) know how to get an x-ray and perform other tests in such a way that your cat will not be gasping for air. You can ask your vet if he thinks a mild sedative would be alright, to do the x-ray, if your cat really freaks out at the vet's office, in general; however, with an as of yet, unidentified breathing problem, a sedative might be contraindicated.
If your vet is considered one of the best in the state, then you should definitely discuss your cat's problem with him further and request a chest x-ray and routine blood tests. How old is your cat? If he is a 'senior' (7 or over), the vet will know which blood tests to run. The chest x-ray and blood draw will not be painful to your cat. These tests should be your first step, in order for the vet to determine if there is something which is causing the symptom you describe while he's purring. If something is found to be medically wrong, your vet will know how best to treat it.
I will consult with some of the vets on the site and see if they have any additional suggestions. I will get back to you ASAP, and if you are satisfied with my answer, please click the 'accept' button on top of your question/my answer; as of this time the answer hasn't been 'accepted', as you thought. Thanks for your patience!

My oldest male cat had a seizure this evening. This site was the first place I could think of to go after the seizure had passed. Dr. Lucy was fantastic and she was spot on!
I must tell you I found this site by accident and was amazed when I asked a question of the Veteranians online. I wish I could have found it sooner it could have made such a difference in the outcome of my pet's surgery. However, I am passing along the information to my sister-in-law (a cat-rescue person who is also a nurse), and perhaps it will help someone else who may experience the same problem. The doctor who answered my question was amazing, and while it didn't come it time to change the outcome of my situation, it is reassuring to know the caliber of Vets/Doctors that you have at JustAnswer. Thank you for being there.
