Redshirt junior defensive lineman Eddie Vanderdoes officially traded his final year of eligibility at UCLA for a chance at the NFL on Monday, announcing on social media that he would be entering the NFL draft this spring.
Vanderdoes was honored as a senior prior to UCLA's last home game of the season this year and was carried off the field after his final practice, as is the UCLA tradition for seniors.
"I would like to thank everyone affiliated with UCLA Athletics, the UCLA football program, and UCLA Academics for allowing me to progress where I am at today," Vanderdoes wrote on Twitter and Instagram. "It's been a honor to represent this University both on and off the field."
In replacing Kenny Clark, who declared for the NFL draft early last year, Vanderdoes had 29 tackles this season with 1.5 sacks while starting all 12 games for the Bruins. His 29 tackles were a career-low for him in a season, except for 2014 when he played only one game before tearing his ACL.
Before becoming a first-round draft pick for the Green Bay Packers, Clark finished his UCLA career with 75 tackles, six sacks and 11 tackles for loss in 2015.
Vanderdoes was named to the Bednarik, Lombardi, Nagurski and Outland Trophy watchlists during the preseason. A stout defender against the run, Vanderdoes was ranked 18th in Pro Football Focus' top 32 draft prospects for the 2017 NFL draft in October.
His departure leaves a big hole in UCLA's defensive line that is also losing key seniors Eli Ankou and Takkarist McKinley. Reserve defensive end Deon Hollins is also graduating.
Freshman Boss Tagaloa, who played in all 12 games this season, is could jump into the starting lineup next year. The Bruins also have a verbal commitment from four-star defensive tackle Greg Rogers, who is considered one of the top 10 defensive tackle recruits in the country. UCLA can also plug up the middle with juniors Matt Dickerson and Jacob Tuioti-Mariner next year.

What is Leap Year? Wiki….please Leap Year
"A leap year (or intercalary or bissextile year) is a year containing one additional day (or, in the case of lunisolar calendars, a month) in order to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year.[1] Because seasons and astronomical events do not repeat in a whole number of days, a calendar that had the same number of days in each year would, over time, drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track. By occasionally inserting (or intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year that is not a leap year is called a common year."
I figure I would blog about it since it only happens every four years and its my parents wedding anniversary 🙂 Can you imagine 20 years pass and your actual birthday is 5 or be married 16 years and actually have had only 4 real anniversaries. Kind of crazy and cool. 😉

Armaans POV
Life is so unpredictable.
When you think that finally everything is perfect something goes wrong.
For one I would never ever have thought that Nia would play a bet about something as my feelings for one, neither did I ever think that I wouldn't want to speak to Amel when she herself called.
No seriously! And you know the weird part I dint even get mad at Amel. I got mad at Nia instead. I mean Amel hardly knows me right. But this isn't fair. Its Amels fault as well…I never thought she keeps betting on such things, {it's a different thing that she is always on bets} well whatever. I
I've been crushing on her for too long. There's no point. Obviously she wouldn't like me…even if she did, things wouldn't work out!
Am just going to try to get over her.
And well I aint that mad at Nia now either…all my negative feelings are getting drained out because of my 10th grade marks and the awesome climate. And im sure Nia dint mean it that way…anyways!
Nia is feeling very guilty. I guess I'll just go and tell her to forget about it…
I mean you should see the way she is looking at me right now. I never saw Nia look guilty….maybe I should fake this for some more time. I mean she always does such things to me. I mean things like emotional blackmail, playing extremely annoying pranks, threatening me and stuff like that.
Now its my turn.
Oh wow, now she's coming towards me.
I put my head down and frown.
'Can I have a word with you?' she asked me.
I nodded, still staring down at the lawn.
'Armaan are you mad at me?' she asks.
'Don't lie'
'If you know I am mad at you…why are you asking? Save ya breath!'
She looked taken aback by that.
'I'm really sorry. I can explain….see it was just a stupid bet Armaan. And one way I knew nothing bad of it will happen. I mean at least this way I would help you out an…I mean it would make me want to make you'll friends even better! ..I mean I would anyways, But -'
Armaan cut her short.
'That's your point of view….You know how I felt? I felt like you were toying with my emotions and for the first time I felt like I made a mistake by telling you about it….I always trusted you Nia… But its okay, I'm glad this happened….Now I know that Amel aint that noble either. sorry but she seems as mendacious as you are! At least this way I'll get over her. Good' I lied fluently, without a trace of humor.
Nias face flushed.
Wow. I can be an actor!
'No Armaan…okay be mad at me if you want, But Not Amel…she doesn't know that you even like her! She thought that you were really proud so I told her that you weren't and that you were just slightly an introvert….That's how we put a bet. Amel and I dint mean any harm…Am really sorry' she said.
Whoops! I dint know that part of the story. Nia looked like she would faint out of guiltiness.
I burst out of laughing.
She looked at me all scared. Maybe she thought that I lost my sanity with all this crap. Haha.
'Armaan…what?' she asked slowly and she took a careful step away from me.
That just made me laugh harder.
'What do you mean by you ding mean any harm…You know what could have happened to me right?'
'What could have happened?' She asked me uncertainly.
'I would die!' I told her.
Her eyes widened.
'How does death come in?'
'Through Psychological disorders which will lead to my death' I said.
She stared at me.
I continued:
'Because Nia you are as much as a sister to me as much Adaa is, and I never felt this way before for anyone like I feel for Amel. You two mean a lot to me, And when I find out that you guys were just laughing around and putting bets on my feelings I would start feeling betrayed and hurt, leading to depression, which will result in stress. Most causes of psychological stress are perennially related to emotional and psychological disorders. Stressful situations, can set forth a series of emotional symptoms such as a feeling of personality disintegration, phobia..Umm, anxiety attacks, distractions, and well...Uhh psychological discomposure such as depression, confusion, burn out and, never forget the resultant, vehicular accidents. And you know the traffic we have here. I would just die!'
Then she realized that I did not after all, lose my sanity and it was all a joke. She
Stared at me with narrow eyes. Her nostrils flared.
A familiar robotic voice in my head said 'Danger alert, danger alert'
'Ohh that rhymes' I said and laughed again.
That got on to her; she caught me by my collar, and shook me hard.
'Whoa whoa chillax Phholan Devi!' I told her.
She might break my face anytime now. Crap.
What was I thinking messing about with NIARIKA?!
But then she left hold of my collar and grinned and said 'so you aint mad at me?'
'No Im not' I said breathing a dramatic sigh of relief. 'I don't have so much guts' I continued.
'Lalala' she said. Her only girly character.
I never figured out why Nia kept saying 'tralala' and 'Lalala' at times. But now it was her signature whatever. Anytime she is peaceful {rarely}, anytime she time she's happy, any time she wants to say 'duh' she goes all like: Tralala!
Wait, why in the world am I talking, no thinking about tralala? I have seriously lost my sanity.
God save me!
'Aww am sorry Armaan' she said and leaned forward to hug me.
I hugged her back and said 'I'm sorry too'
'Ahem!' I heard someone clear their throat.
'WHAT? 'Nia yelled at Rahil who appeared by our side.
'Chillax man, can't you ever
be sober….I just saw this kabhi khushi
kabhi gham moment, and I thought of getting a closer look…that's it! You don't
have to breathe out fire for that alright!' Rahil said.

Neal's POV
I was sitting in the guest room staring at my glass of orange juice, when I heard someone say: 'Arre Devdas babu, don't overdose on your sharaab'
I looked at Uncle John with utmost disgust and said.
'Ohh I was supposed to laugh?'
He looked surprise by my reply but laughed anyways.
Uncle John's pretty cool, minus all the extremely stupid jokes he cracks. And the best thing about him was that he was always happy, I'm sure he had his own share of miseries which he concealed very well, he was just happy all the time. An asset to this organization since everyone else is always serious and tensed. When I am in my normal mood we get along really well {annoying and making fun of everyone around us}
But this was just not the time.
'Why aren't you with your pals?' he asked me, point outside the widow where Rahil, Armaan and Nia were laughing and talking.
'Im just not in the mood' I muttered.
'What's wrong? You can tell me…' he said.
'Can you help?' I asked him with my eyebrows raised.
'No, but I can laugh' he said and cracked up again.
I rolled my eyes and ignored him.
'Neal' he said, and I continued ignoring him.
'Neal, listen....' he repeated in a solemn voice, which made me look up. He rarely used that tone.
'See whatever problem you have, it will pass! Im sure it will….I don't know what it is about, but am guessing its about your studies. Everything will be alright. Don't you believe in God? You know that he is capable of doing anything right? Isn't that faith enough for you to forget about what happened?' He said.
'I do have faith Uncle. But, I worked so hard for this since grade.. I've been doing everything so that I have the best students profile, I got into all kinds of co curricular activities so that I could add credits to my profile, attended seminars, did many courses just so that I had a nice resume so that I could get into that frikkin college of Delhi. I dedicated my high school for that! And what do I get? Nothing. That idiot gets the scholarship just because he is my princy's nephew!' I said all the emotions rushing out of me.
'I was right this is about your studies. But Neal you are a wonderful student. Any institute will be more than glad to have you as a part of their institution. This is not the end'
'I can't afford to go to any other very well respected college. I don't want to ask dad money, he already has his own problems and I did not apply for any other scholarship because I was very sure that I would get this one!'
'Leave that to me. I will make sure you get scholarship in the best college of India. Okay?'
I stared at him. 'No, you don't have to worry about it....'
'Im not going to worry about it….I will so not worry for a nerd like you' he said and laughed. Then he continued 'but for all the fun times we shared, for all the pranks we pulled out together….I will worry a bit about this okay?' he said and grinned.
I leaned forward and hugged him. He hugged me back and then he said in a fake disgusted voice:
'Eww get off me! You senti little dweeb!'
'I knowww….God, I have to have bath again…a million more times!'
'Why?' he asked me wrinkling his nose.
'I HUGGED YOU! NEED TO GET THE FILTH OUTTA ME!' I said and we laughed.
Suddenly I felt all better.
He got up to leave and I said 'thank you…now I know when anyone is sad all you need is Orange juice and Uncle John!'
He grinned at me.
'Neal but remember one thing…..there are people who are suffering from worse things. Don't be so ungrateful to God and sulk for such things. Be happy that Gods already bestowed so many blessings on you!' he said and walked off.
I wonder what he meant by that!
I finished off my juice and I went to the kitchen to keep my glass there, when I saw Swathi, Suresh uncles four year old daughter standing on a stool and trying to reach the phone. I kept my glass at the table without making a noise and slowly went near her yelled 'BHOOOOO' and carried her. She shrieked and then laughed.
'You scared me!' she said in her cute babyish voice.
'Sorry' I said making her sit in the table.
'Anyways who were you calling?' I asked her.
'Daddy, but he isn't picking up the phone!' She said in a disappointed voice.
I felt the emotions of sadness, pity and love towards her I never experienced before. My throat went dry. Will her dad ever pick up the phone?
'But please don't tell mama, she doesn't like it when I call him, it makes her sad…she starts crying! But I miss daddy ….' She said and her eyes filled with tears.
I hugged her and kissed her on her cheeks.
And that's when I realized the true meaning of what Uncle Johns said :
Neal but remember one thing…..there are people who are suffering from worse things. Don't be so ungrateful to God and sulk for such things. Be happy that Gods already bestowed so many blessings on you.
I carried her towards the main door and said ' Come on cherry lollypop… now its masti time!'
'But I like strawberry' she said.
'Okay my strawberry lollypop!' I said with a goofy voice.
And she smiled at me her beautiful smile.

Sheldon Stephens: Kevin Clash Accuser Paid $125K Before Retracting Sex Allegationsby Free Britney at . Comments
Kevin Clash, the voice of Sesame Street's Elmo, agreed to pay his accuser $125,000, under one condition - that Sheldon Stephens retract the allegation that he was underage.
Stephens alleged he was only 16 when Clash began an affair with him. Clash admits an affair, but insists it started when Stephens, now 23, was an adult.
Stephens recanted his allegation days later, but only after a secret settlement was struck between the two parties. Under the terms of the settlement:
- Clash agreed to pay Stephens $125,000.
- He releases a statement saying he [Stephens] wants it to be known that his sexual relationship with Mr. Clash was an adult consensual relationship.
- If Stephens is asked by anyone about his relationship with Clash, he must only repeat the statement in the settlement that recants his story.
Although Sheldon Stephens signed the document, he insists Clash, now 52, had sex with him when he was a minor and was pressured into signing the settlement.
According to TMZ, Stephens was crying during the final negotiations with Clash's lawyer and repeatedly insisted he didn't want to sign; he did, however.
It's unclear who leaked these details to the celebrity gossip site, but it makes you wonder.

Stoner Girlfriend
I recently met this young guy who is presently attending college. We hit it off and started talking about realtionships. I'm married and was telling him a bit about my husband. He said his parents (even though he's just 24) were constantly onto him about his love life. (He's a Veterinary Student, works full time and although a really cute and nice guy said he did'nt have much time for dating much less a serious relationship. He said his parents were so picky anyway. They want him to find a really (nice) girl. Well.... somehow we started talking about how funny it would be to play a prank on them and we actually planned it.
He told his parents that he had met the woman of his dreams and wanted them to meet her (which was actually me) at a local, very expensive, upper class restaurant. They wanted details and he told him it was love at 1st sight. In fact he said he was so in love he was thinking about proposing. He said he really hoped they would like me. Well.......
Here's what we planned. He said his parents (esp his mom) was a kind of prim and proper type lady who hated cigarette smoking, drinking, foul language, drugs, piercings, etc. She had actually stated that marijuana was Satan himself in disguise out to ruin people's lives. He also said she hated people to be late for anything. So......... we arranged the time. He told his parents that I would have to meet them there instead of arriving with him. ......
I have really long hair that I take care of well, however I used some gel, kinda messed it up, parted in in the middle and put a bit of Hot oil treatment in the part (looked like I had'nt really washed in several days. I found a shirt at the mall with a huge pot leaf on the front which on the back said " Lets all unite! Legalize the herb!! I wore a pair of old jeans that I had actually destroyed getting thrown off a horse. A pocket was hanging loose. and there was a rip right down the butt. I wore a pair of boxers underneath that had" F You across the back ( It was very visible.) I wore a pair of my daughters old converse high tops that she was going to throw away and I wrote "Go to Hell" with a black sharpie on the side of both shoes. I wore no makeup whatsoever. I borrowed a bra from a friend ( I weigh 115 lbs, I'm 5'5 and don't have much when it comes to boobs, however I put on this bra, (a D cup) and stuffed it to the max with foam. My daughter helped me devise a fake nose ring, and a tongue ring ( a cube like thing with a pot leave on it. I also cut the shirt so my stomach would show and wore a fake belly button ring with yet another pot leaf on it. Now I have a real tattoo which is a small wolf howling at the moon but it happen to be in a place that my huge fake boobs hid it. My son however who is an exc artist used a sharpie and drew a huge grim reaper down the length of one arm and on the other drew a little red devil holding up a pitchfork that said "I'm Hot S--T. He also drew 2 little pitchforks on my stomach with the words "HOT MAMA" Ok, I was laughing so hard by this time I did'nt know if I could do this. I Put on a pair on dark, dark sunglasses and headed out, with my kids who were going to sit nearby at another table with a good friend of mine. My husband failed to find too much humor in this so he did'nt go. I arrived promptly 15 min late which actually turned into about 30 min because they weren't going to let me in. I had to explain the whole situation to the manager, who thankfully had a great sense of humor and actually agreed to help. He escorted me to my waiting soulmate and his parents. My guy stood up and gave me a huge hug and said "This is my girlfriend Daisy" Her real name is _____ but she's a flower child so I nicknamed her that. Is'nt she cute??? Well, ..... his mom looked at me and then him and said not one word. His dad looked sort of amused but said nothing. Well for the next 20 minutes or so it was pretty hilarious. I talked non stop, using a bit of foul language and started every sentence with "Dude" We acted "so in love" . Like you know, where its kind of sickening. I told him quietly but where they could hear that I was pretty high. Told him I was late because I ran across some killer weed.I coul'nt pass up. and said " Damn, i have the munchies. His mother asked me if I was a student like her son and I said No, man. I f-cking hate school ! But I do have a job. In entertainment. She did'nt even ask what kind of entertainment. I tried to act a little "messed up" the whole time. I even quoted a well known Bob Marley saying about marijuana. I started calling them Mom and Daddy-O. and told them they were totally cool people for having such a great son. I winked at my sweetie and told them he was great in ways "that Might make them blush. He looked at me adoringly the whole time.. He must have praticed this because he acted this out perfectly. He would look at his mom in this way that basically said" Please try to understand, almost like pleading for her approval. Ok, he's 24 and he told them I was 29. I suppose they believed it which kinda made my day (I'm 37, 36 at the time). I told them had 4 kids but wanted more. Me and my guy looked at each other. and I said quietly to him, but where they of course could hear. " Your such a sex machine I bet weve already got one on the way. He smiled and rubbed my tattooed pierced belly and said "I bet if we don't already it won't be long. His mom looked really distressed and abruptly got up and said she had to go home that she was feeling a bit ill. His dad continued to sit there looking a bit amused.
Okay i felt like it was time to tell them it was a joke. So my sweetie " said with such a straight face I could'nt help but laugh. " Mom you can't go yet because I have to tell you something. I've just played the best prank on you of all time. And you too dad. His dad busted out laughing. (He said he suspected it was a joke) His mom looked at us like we were crazy,. stood there a minute, sat back down and said " Son, your still not too old for me to give you the worst butt busting of your life. She actually started laughing so hard that her eye makeup was running down her face.
We still keep in touch. I just went l to an engagement party last week. My sweetie actually met my friends daughter who was there sitting with my daugter and son and her mother. She's 20 and in her 2nd year of college. She wants to be a pediatrician. They actually exchanged phone numbers that same night. 7 months later he proposed. And his mother approves.... and Yes I still love pranks!!!
Super interesting story you wrote there i ADORE pranks like that couldnt wait to know his moms reaction LOL yeh pot really is the devil undercover...right, you made me laugh thanks!!
kind of long
that was FANTASTIC!!!

One win won't be enough.
In order to reach the championship series at the College World Series, Vanderbilt needs to win back-to-back contests on consecutive days against conference rival Florida, which is 4-1 this season in head-to-head meetings.
Yet one win is all that is on the Commodores' minds.
"I don't think you can think about two games right now," coach Tim Corbin said. "There are no two games unless you win the first game. We'll treat it as such. There are nine innings you have to play, and we'll do whatever we can."
Vanderbilt will once again try to stave off elimination when it matches up with Florida at 1 p.m. Friday (ESPN).
The Commodores (54-11) kept their season alive with a 5-1 victory in an elimination game against North Carolina on Wednesday. Both of Vanderbilt's wins in this CWS have come against North Carolina. Its lone loss was to Florida, which is 2-0 in the double-elimination tournament and needs just one win to advance to the championship round, which begins Monday.
The Gators (52-17) edged Vanderbilt 3-1 on Tuesday morning, in a game that started the night before but was suspended due to inclement weather around TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb.
Preston Tucker's three-home run off SEC Pitcher of the Year Grayson Garvin stood up thanks to solid pitching by Florida. Starter Karsten Whitson allowed just one run on four hits in 4 2/3 innings and Steven Rodriguez took over from there. The lefty didn't allow a hit as he closed out the game and picked up the win, striking out seven.
Florida's bullpen has overmatched Vanderbilt all season. The Commodores haven't scored a run in their last 17.2 innings against the Gators' relief pitchers. In Florida's four wins against Vanderbilt, the bullpen has allowed just one run on nine hits while striking out 24 in 21.2 innings.
"I think the biggest factor is being able to do something with their pitching," Corbin said. "That's been the nemesis. I feel good about our offense, and I feel good about the mindset of where we'll be when we get to that particular game."
Sonny Gray (12-3, 2.14 ERA) will start for Vanderbilt, while Hudson Randall (11-3, 2.24) most likely will get the nod for Florida. Gray gave up eight hits and three runs in 4.2 innings in a no-decision against North Carolina in the CWS opener last weekend.
If the Vanderbilt ace can deliver with six solid innings — like he did in his two previous postseason appearances — the Commodores bullpen has proved it is up for the task.
Relievers have allowed just one run in 22.1 innings this postseason. Left-hander Corey Williams and righty Will Clinard have carried a bulk of the load, especially in the CWS. Williams has pitched in all three games, going 5.2 innings. Clinard has worked 3.1 innings and freshman Kevin Ziomek has pitched 1/3 of the 9.1 innings.
But the pitching staff needs more run support as Vanderbilt's sluggers are in a slump. Prior to Wednesday's game, the Commodores' No. 3 through No. 6 hitters (Aaron Westlake, Curt Casali, Mike Yastrzemski and Jason Esposito) went 2-for-32 in their first two CWS games. They were a little better against North Carolina the second time around. Casali homered and Westlake and Yastrzemski each added hits. But the four hitters were still a combined 3-for-14.
That sort of production won't help their cause against a team like Florida.
"We're not thinking, 'How the heck can we beat Florida? It's not really in the back of our minds at all," Casali said. "We feel we can compete with them. We feel we match up with them well, but we'll see what happens on Friday. We're going to come in confident, I guarantee that."

"We are honored to have the global brand of Disney, which has been such a fixture of this community for nearly 40 years, join us as a 'Champions of the Community' sponsor," said Orlando Magic President Alex Martins. "As a long-standing member of the Central Florida community, Disney has established a great legacy that we hope to build upon at the Amway Center. We look forward to working together to make continued impact on our Central Florida community for one common purpose… becoming champions both on and off the court."
Through the new agreement, the Orlando Magic and Disney Parks will seek opportunities to work together on outreach initiatives that benefit the community. The agreement also makes Disney Parks the presenting sponsor of the Amway Center atrium, gives Disney and the Orlando Magic the opportunity to develop and sell co-branded merchandise and provides the foundation for a variety of other marketing and community opportunities.
"As you would expect, Disney believes in Magic," said Ken Potrock, senior vice president of Disney Sports Enterprises. "This agreement is a natural extension of Disney's ongoing support for the downtown venues and serves as another example of our company's efforts to further enhance the quality of life and make dreams come true across our region."
Disney Parks joins GEICO, PepsiCo, AirTran Airways and Harris Corporation as "Champions of the Community". Opening October 1, the Amway Center, which will be operated by the City of Orlando and owned by the Central Florida community, will compete to host major national events, concerts and family shows and serve as the new home of the Orlando Magic.

Jury selection under way in AlphaTex Kennels case
Published 8:48 am, Tuesday, January 17, 2012
CANYON -- Jury selection is under way in the AlphaTex Kennels case.
The case involving more than 200 alleged mistreated dogs that were seized from the Floyd County kennel owned by Mark and Sandra Smith in September was moved to Randall County after a change of venue request was granted during a pre-trial hearing recently in Amarillo.
Jury selection began after several motions were heard this morning by District Judge John Board in the 181st District Courtroom at the Randall County Justice Center. The pre-trial hearing held in Amarillo a couple of weeks allowed for a six-person jury.
Reportedly, the jury will decide whether the Smiths are guilty of neglect or cruelty before Board determines the future of the animals, which have been placed in foster facilities and homes throughout the state.
The hearing is expected to last most of the week.
This week's hearing is a repeat of one held in November in Floyd County in front of Justice of the Peace Tali Jackson, who ruled against the Smiths. However, that decision was thrown out when the Smiths, who were ordered to pay more than $300,000 to care for the dogs, filed for indigent status. Rather than go through that process, the attorney representing Floyd County, Donald Feare of Arlington, agreed to a new hearing.

Yeah, I'm crap, I know.
There's a number of reasons.
After my last post in July (was it really that long ago?) I went on holiday with my new girlfriend. We stayed with some friends in France, and we all filmed a little thing called Hairy Pouter and the Fatal Flaws. Here's a little preview.
While this exercise was exhausting, it was with friends, and it was fun, and all told, this break was perhaps the most relaxed I've been for a very long time. I vowed to keep that relaxation momentum. I probably failed.
But that's not the reason I haven't been blogging, though this new relationship has been keeping me happily distracted.
When I got back from France, things had changed at work. I'd spent most of the first half of the year somewhat involved at work with the acquisition of a California based start up, and everything got signed while I was away. Now, when a large enterprise spends that much money, it has to justify that to stakeholders, and part of that justification was cost savings elswhere. That meant the dissolution of the project I was involved in. We learnt loads from that work, and I was sad to see it go, but I reckon it was the right thing to do, for a number of reasons. That would all be for another post, and probably one I won't write.
I spent the next month or so at work kicking the tyres, I wasn't sure of what my role was and nobody could tell me. It was a lovely summer though! You'd've thought I had the time then to blog a little, but I really was in another world. I started losing the blogging habit, it just seemed to fade away. After only a few months of writing. Till now!
Then I got a role in the startup we'd just acquired. This was (and still is) pretty much an engineering job. Being further from the frontline of strategy and decision making, and all the heresy and evangalizing I make part of that has been a nice change. Can't last too long, I'll get bored, but at least I've learnt some new coding skills. I'm afraid, all my MSFT buddies, I've caught the open source bug, and I'm not shaking it. This I could explain more of in another post. Maybe I will. The point being, finding myself away from the frontline and the bleeding edge means I've had less inspiring me to write. If you've nothing interesting to say, don't bother.
I've been working at home the large majority of the time. In fact I'm delighted to report I haven't stayed in a hotel or flown anywhere since June. The folk who monitor expenses at work must be delighted! So you'd've thought that with so much less travel that would put time in my hands to write, put together mixes, and generally share verbiage with you.
But, I've been working very hard on a side project. It's not quite done, I've been saying it's nearly ready for months, and that's true, it nearly is. But it always takes longer and costs more! I've been creating this thing with two really good friends, and staying with them when in London. You can bet your bottom dollar that I'll be writing more about this project in due course.
If you're a bit of a hippy, then it's a psychedelic toy for the web. If you're would prefer a more pitch friendly description, then it's "social media aggregation" and "an inspiring front end to photos and music folk contribute to the web and share with their friends"
So much of my time has been eaten up by this - when I find myself with free time, I want to move this project forward, not blog. The motivation and drive is good for me, and I'm learning loads. And maybe I'll launch something successful! If at first you don't succeed...
The final significant reason why posts from me have been absent is Twitter (http://twitter.com/san1t1).
I love Twitter. Working from home a lot, being able to participate in conversations, serious and fun makes me feel I'm connected to lots of people on a lovely basis. It gives me a forum to discuss ideas with others. I can say what I'm doing and, to some extent, how I'm feeling about it, and, well, it's all good. Many others have written on the virtues of Twitter, I have little really to add. It would be like reporting on the Instant Messenger revolution. It's not news to me anymore.
So, less inspirational job, side project, twitter, and the distractions of a lovely lady have contributed to my failure to write here.
I have promised some folk I'll write a post on the state of Cloud Telephony as I see it. I've been mulling things over, talking to folk (I have a nice little prospect out of that!), tweeting away, trying APIs, comparing business models, and I'm nearly ready to share my thoughts. That's a post to come.
I have two mixes to upload. (well, one and a half). They'll come soon too.
Mostly I'm looking forward to introducing the world to the thing I've been beavering away on for the last few months.
In short, expect more soon!
Sorcery: the systematic cultivation of enhanced consciousness or non-ordinary awareness & its deployment in the world of deeds & objects to bring about desired results.

I do agree -- having a Perl virus developed may be hazardous. However, I also feel there are two sides of the story.
Virii have been a problem for some time, and have been developed in all sorts of languages. There are already PHP viruses. With that in mind, it would seem likely that eventually, someone would write a virus in Perl, it's just a matter of when.
I don't feel that security by "ignoring it and hoping it goes away" would be a good long term solution. Is there anything that could ever be done to prevent a Perl virus from running? I don't really know. However, I would much rather have this opportunity to discuss the matter with the reasonable, intelligent people who frequent this site (not to be confused with "reasonably intelligent people", found at various other sites ;-), then run around trying to clean up the mess after it happens in the future, and THEN having this discussion :-)
So opening things wide open -- is there anything that could be done with Perl to prevent a Perl virus from doing damage? It seems extremely difficult, and I don't know any other language that has figured out a way around this. But if any language could develop a system to aid in prevention, it would be Perl!
tye, I'm not dissagreeing with you per-se. I suppose that I just feel that since it's going to happen anyway, that perhaps it would be easier to attempt to deal with the issue now. I'm just glad it was a monk offering code up for review, and not one of my users trying it out on my system. But perhaps this should be a non-public discussion -- I'll leave that up to you guys :-)
Update: BTW, is there a system for non-public discussion on this site? Password protected forums, forums that require a particular level, etc?
Update 2: After seeing lemming's post, I changed all referenced of "virii" to "viruses", which is apparently the correct usage. Thanks Lemming :-)

2008-11-06 - An unusual view in the paddock at Formula 1 race in Sao Paulo: No hot girls wearing short skirts at all but hordes of long haired black dressed guys! The distrustfully weird vistas faded away when Heikki Kovalainen welcome his guests and introduced them to his colleague and new World Champion Lewis Hamilton: NIGHTWISH, one of the most successful metal bands these days! German Echo Award winner and nominated for best European act at the upcoming MTV-Awards on Saturday.Holopainen, founder of the band: I am amazed about the entire event. Heikki let us pick up 7:30am at the hotel already and he showed us the paddock and the command centre. Further he explained us his car and introduced us to Lewis Hamilton and he even loves our music! Hilarious: The new World Champion is a metal fan! Even though there was no metal played at all at the VIP-afterparty but disco classics, with Hamiltons father behind the turntables. He was entertaining the guest as DJ. Even First aid skills are in his repertoire as one of the crew guys got a black out after a Plasma TV had hit his head. Having Papa Hamilton slapping him into his face he would come back to life. Until 5:30 in the morning the party goes on with Kovalainen, Hamilton and his girlfriend Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger as well as the Finnish rockstars. After their stop at this Formula 1 event, they will continue to play a South American tour, before they return to Europe.

A woman who was hospitalized after a group of men attacked and robbed her on a city street also was sexually assaulted in an act police say may not have been random.
City police released additional information Tuesday on what they say was an attack on a woman by three white males at around 10 p.m. Sunday in the area of 75 Union St. An investigation and interview with the victim determined the males approached her from behind robbed more than $300 from her, and two of them sexually assaulted her, according to police.
"The attack occurred in close proximity to the victim's home," police said. "Based on the investigation and information obtained by investigators, it is believed that this may not have been a random act."
The victim was treated and released from Saratoga Hospital. The police investigation continues. Police offered no other comments.

Christmas present quiz uncovered
Aaaa shoveling stuff ;-)
Its longer than most shovels but would come in handy if it snowed again!
That's a funny looking plant!
Wow, Martin, just what I have been looking for. Is it hardy?
Belated Happy Christmas. Or maybe it's an early Christmas pressie for 2011.
Compost Shovel, for a composting King
Is it a Pizza shovel? I could see the pair of ye cooking our own outdoor pizzas in a bit old iron oven.
To be used in the place of 'double digging'
It's like a snow shovel, l could do with it here, over an inch of snow has fallen in the last hour!
For shovelling coal in a steam locomotive.
Well done Kindred that is the right answer. I will deliver the prizes of ferns to you when you are ready for them.
Oh My God, don't tell me you are adding a steam locomotive to your garden!
Well done, Kindred.
You are keeping us in suspense! Tell use the whole story
Myrtle, when the time is right, Martin will choochoose to tell us.
ha Ha!I'm babysitting and I'm bored!
Ha ha. That reminds me of my brother in law who is mad about trains. Before we made the garden he had plans to run an actually railway line in our 'vacant' space to run his train because his wife wouldn't let him do it at home. Glad it didn't happen now : ) Nowadays he is heavily involved in the Cavan Leitrim Railroad.
So, what are you going to do with it?
Also can't believe I won a competition with a guess out of the blue. ( Can't believe i won a competion. any competition. )
Rachel, Steve has been totally annoying me in the last two years with the idea of rigging up a mini railway track for the garden. I have time and time again said 'No'. I am NOT turning my garden into a Theme Park.
Well done Kindred, enjoy the ferns.
Jacinta, not a theme park, more like a water park........................hehe
As if there wasn't enough water outside right now. Spilling out of the Heavens. Ponds will get topped up nicely.
Snowing here. I am crazy about steam trains and can never have one , so seeing an advert in a railway magazine for a company that sold things for steam train I ordered a shovel and now i have it. It cost a lot, for they are made to take a lot of work without ever breaking. The blade of the shovel is long as it has to go far into the furness. I will be using it in the garden when I get a chance. Well done kindred, and thanks to the lot of you for making it fun.
I dont know why Martin but I feel a bit let down by that explanation!
I am not I am so happy to have it
Do I not get a consolation prize for guessing a coal shovel???? :-( by the way what are you going to buy next Martin an engineers hat? :-)
Martin, you would have enjoyed Top Gear the other night where Jeremy Clarkson was the stoker on a steam train from London to Edinburgh in a race between the train, a Vincent motorcycle and a Jag XK120. He used a shovel similar to yours!!
Yes that must have been a repeat as the steam train was 'Tornado', a new built 4-6-2 costing over 3 millions sterling. Would give a lot to use my shovel on that footplate.

Queso Fresco
Submitted by Straus Family Creamery
Queso Fresco is a South American cheese that is similar to the Indian cheese, Panir. It makes a great cooking cheese because it absorbs flavors and does not melt, and you can make your own right at home!
Time required: 35 min. active
Servings: 8
- 1 gallon Straus Milk (any variety)
- 1/3 cup vinegar (cider, grain or herb vinegar)
Warm the milk to 195 degrees. You should have a cooking thermometer. Stir the milk to keep it from scorching. When the milk is at 195 degrees, stir in the vinegar. Turn the heat off and let the hot milk set for 10 minutes. The milk will quickly coagulate into solid white curd particles and a clear greenish liquid whey.
Line a colander with fine cheesecloth and pour the curds and whey into the colander. Hang the bag of curd to drain for one hour or until the curd has stopped dripping whey. Remove the cheese from the cloth. It will be a solid mass of curd and may be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator until ready for use.
Queso Blanco can be cut into half-inch cubes and used in a variety of dishes. Because it doesn't melt, it works wonderfully in all types of recipes. Supposedly, it is the only cheese which can be deep-fried without melting. You can add it to soups, stir-fried vegetables or pastas. The cheese will take on the flavor of the surrounding food and spices. By itself, the cheese has a very mild and distinctly sweet taste.

Mr Kenny was pressed on the issue at a news conference in the Belgian capital yesterday at the end of a two-day summit of European Union leaders.
"I never contemplate defeat," he said, when asked if Ireland's membership of the euro zone would be threatened by a majority vote against the treaty.
The Taoiseach did not respond to questions as to whether a second vote would take place if the treaty were defeated on the first occasion.
"I have signed the treaty. That signature obviously depends upon ratification now and that's a question for the people. The treaty is due for ratification by January 1st, 2013," he said.
The Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade had said last Tuesday there would be only one referendum on the treaty. "A second chance doesn't arise," Mr Gilmore said.
Mr Kenny was asked yesterday if he was concerned about the implications for the referendum campaign of the divisions on the treaty between senior Fianna Fáil figures Micheál Martin and Éamon Ó Cuív.
"The matter that has erupted within Fianna Fáil is a matter for the Fianna Fáil party to sort out for themselves.
"I welcome the decision of the leader of the Fianna Fáil party to support the referendum and to support it strongly," he said.
Responding in Irish to a Raidió na Gaeltachta reporter, Mr Kenny said: "People will be focusing on the question that will be on the ballot: 'Do they wish to participate in the European community and the euro and the euro zone from now on, or do they not wish to be'."
Observers noted that this would be a departure from the normal text of a constitutional referendum. A Government spokesman said later: "The actual wording has yet to be decided."
The spokesman added: "It has been stated consistently that if there was a requirement for a referendum then one would be held and it would serve the function of ratifying the treaty."
Stressing the importance of the treaty to ensure access to the European Stability Mechanism, the Taoiseach said: "It's like an insurance policy on your house that you might never have to use, but it's nice to know that it's there if for some reason it were to be used."
Commenting on the general tone of the summit, Mr Kenny said: "This actually was a very constructive, very normal council meeting without the usual steam that might be associated with these kinds of meetings.
"This morning I signed the new stability treaty on behalf of Ireland, which is another important step in the recovery of our country and also for Europe.
"It will put in place, as you are aware, a framework for responsible budgeting which I think is important and it will help to restore confidence in our economy which is the euro and our collective ability to manage that successfully. I gave heads of government around the table an understanding yesterday evening of how the process applies in Ireland and the response of the Attorney General to the agreed wording in respect of the treaty, and the process that followed from that and how we notified the Oireachtas of holding the referendum.
"Essentially I have to say that this was received by heads of government in a really understanding way, in that they recognised that this is a choice that the Irish people have to make for themselves now," Mr Kenny said.

Integration Objects
Integration objects are logical representations of Siebel business objects or of external application data, such as SAP Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs) or externally-defined XML documents. An integration object is metadata stored in the Siebel repository. One integration object can be mapped to another integration object. Instances of integration objects are used in integration processes for data exchange.
NOTE: For more information on integration objects, see Integration Platform Technologies: Siebel eBusiness Application Integration Volume II.
Integration objects are made up of three distinct data sections: the canonical, the external, and the XML, as shown in Figure 3.
The integration object schema in the Siebel repository is composed of the three data sections shown in Table 6.
Table 6. Integration Object Data Type Name Purpose Canonical section Stores information about an object in a common representation. The names used for objects, components, and fields are the names that the designer wishes to be visible in Siebel systems. The data types are the Siebel business component field types that are used by the Object Manager. External section Stores information about how the object, component, or field is represented in the external system. For integration objects based on business objects, this may include the business object names, component names, and field names and data types. For integration objects based on a SAP IDOC, this may include the names used within SAP as well as information needed by the IDOC adapter to parse and generate IDOCs, such as the field offsets. XML section Stores the mapping between an integration object definition and its XML representation. This allows any integration object to be represented as XML.

Transformation commands in IBM SPSS Statistics fall basically into two categories: those that are executed when the flow logic gets to them, and those that are executed immediately when read, i.e., before other transformations are executed.
Transformation commands that define variable properties such as VARIABLE LABELS, VALUE LABELS, and MISSING VALUES are generally executed as soon as they are read. That means that they may be executed out of order compared to the execution of the job stream, and they can't be controlled by transformation logic such as DO IF or DO REPEAT. So you can't define properties conditionally, and you can't iterate over them.
Usually you can ignore this behavior, but here's a case where it matters. Suppose you want to create syntax that will eliminate all the variable labels in a dataset (never mind why you might want to do this - this is just an example). The first try might be this do repeat loop.
But you get this puzzling error message.
Error # 4530. Command name: variable label
>This command is not allowed inside the DO REPEAT/ END REPEAT facility.
That's because metadata commands are not subject to the flow control of a loop. In addition, this is a little ugly, because you had to know the names of the first and last variables (in file order) in order even to write the loop command. So this syntax isn't general.
The second try works, but it's way too ugly to contemplate. I couldn't ever bear to write out the whole command.
It works, because you can separate variable specifications with /, and if there is no label in a section, the label is empty, i.e., removed.
This is too painful to write, but it offers a clue. If we could only generate that slash-separated list automatically, we could feed it to this command. That's where SPSSINC SELECT VARIABLES comes in. This is an extension command available from the SPSS Community (www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral if you aren't already reading this from the site) and requires the Python Essentials. This command allows you to define an SPSS macro consisting of a list of variables that meet various criteria. It could be an explicit list, but you could filter on variable type, patterns in names, custom attributes, and/or measurement level. With no filtering, it would select all the variables in the dataset. The macro text replaces the macro name reference when it is encountered in the syntax.
So we're almost there. If I run
spssinc select variables macroname = "!all". (note the quotes)
I get a list of all the variables that I could feed to the VARIABLE LABELS command. But that won't quite work, because I need those slashes to separate the items in the list. This will do the trick.
(It is conventional to start macro names with "!" so that they won't collide with variable names or syntax constructs.)
Now all I have to do is this.
This gives me syntax that will work for any data file regardless of the variable names.
In order to use this command, you have to install the extension command (and the Essentials if you don't already have that), but then you can forget that it is an extension. It works just like the built-in commands. The more you can generalize your syntax, the less work you have to do, and the less the chance of errors creeping in.
A final note: ths example is entirely serendipitous. I created this command for selecting subsets of the variables fof automating analysis tasks. Here it is being used to select all the variables. And I thought the only useful separators between the selected variables would be a blank for ordinary variable lists and + for CTABLES expressions, but here / is required.
An Example of Using the SPSSINC SELECT VARIABLES Extension Command

Weird situation yes …
Bluetooth stuck in "ON" state and not working
Posted 21 September 2013 - 07:31 AM
Posted 21 September 2013 - 07:46 AM
Posted 21 September 2013 - 10:52 AM
@p.H: it's working ootb for me too, but if I click on "disable bluetooth", then I can only enable it again with plist editing.
Do you have a BT keyboard or Trackpad? If you connect one of these devices to your BT dongle and add them to favorites in the Bluetooth Preference, you have to reconnect them after a restart. This is the case for me. And it drives me nuts. My laptop (Dell 14R Inspiron) used bcc9's kext to make its internal BT working. And it would not bother me to do this. Don't know whats going on here.
Posted 21 September 2013 - 02:37 PM
I'm using USB peripherals, so I can't say anything about that.

I'm using USB peripherals, so I can't say anything about that.
Never mind. Then whats your BT used for? Transmitting files?
Posted 22 September 2013 - 12:12 AM
Posted 22 September 2013 - 12:20 AM
Yes, I use it very rarely but sometimes it's good to be there
IMO, since you have your BT dongle working, why not go get a magic trackpad and experience the superb multi touch tech
Posted 22 September 2013 - 12:41 PM
Why would the settings be saved in two different .plists I wonder, have you guys seen that?
Powerstate in one and Discoverable in another.
Posted 22 September 2013 - 07:56 PM
I had the same issue with my Bluetooth dongle after upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion 10.8.5
Setting the controllerpowerstate to 1 has revived my DB-120 dongle, and my Magic Mouse is working again...
Posted 24 September 2013 - 07:31 PM
I cannot find the Discoverable option anywhere too, all I know it's set in users/xxxx/Library/preferences/ByHost/com.apple.Bluetooth.555....
But saw this though - debug Bluetooth via menubar.
Press: ctrl+option+shift and click bluetooth in the menubar .....
Maybe this will help us out, don't know
Or someone has to dissassemble something like "BluetoothUserAgent-Plugin"
or the "IOBluetooth.framework" perhaps?
Posted 25 September 2013 - 05:52 AM
No the debug thing does nothing really, besides putting the module off (reset).
@nyolc8 Once "Disable Bluetooth" is clicked the module goes off, but does come on again the second time you click the"Disable Bluetooth", with third click it just stays on, then the debug
option puts it off, if you click "Reset the.....".
Posted 25 September 2013 - 09:27 AM
The coming 10.8.5 supplemental patch will fix bluetooth dongles, so It will be fixed in 10.9 too.

Unfortunately any of the solutions mentioned above worked for me. I have a CSR usb dongle (0x0001 0x0a12) which should work without any problems.
It's always on, no turn off / disable option, but it doesn't see any device, magic mouse, keyboard, headphones...
I tried it before updating to 10.8.5 and 10.9 DP8, worked like a charm on 10.8.4.
Does anyone here have the same dongle?
Posted 04 October 2013 - 05:14 PM
Did you tried on 10.9GM? Still broken?
Posted 04 October 2013 - 05:36 PM
No I didn't. Is it possible to upgrade my DP8 install to GM? Or a clean install is required.
Posted 04 October 2013 - 06:39 PM
I think, only clean install
Posted 04 October 2013 - 07:28 PM
Posted 04 October 2013 - 07:45 PM
Ah, I see the supplementel update is out.
Posted 04 October 2013 - 08:30 PM
No F***ing ways … still stays on man, only the discoverable thing works.
Posted 04 October 2013 - 08:36 PM
I downloaded the supplemental update for 10.8.5 and I and found the iobtfamily.

The Fleetwoods Biography
One of Americas most popular doo-wop groups in the late 50s comprised Gary Troxell (28 November 1939, Centralia, Washington, DC, USA), Gretchen Christopher (b. 29 February 1940, Olympia, Washington, DC, USA) and Barbara Ellis (b. 20 February 1940, Olympia, Washington, USA). They met while seniors at high school in the girls home town. Originally a female duo, they recruited Troxell initially to play trumpet. The girls had composed a song, while independently, Troxell had written a hook that went something like: Mmm Dooby Doo, Dum Dim Dum Doo Dum; they put them together and Come Softly To Me was born. Their first moniker, Two Girls And A Guy, was changed by a Seattle record distributor Bob Reisdorff, who became their manager and founded Dolphin Records (later called Dolton), which released the single. Chart fame was instant for the distinctive trio and the haunting and catchy song (on which the vocal was recorded a cappella) shot to the top of the US charts and made the UK Top 10 despite a hit cover version by Frankie Vaughan and the Kaye Sisters. Their third release, Mr. Blue, a Dwayne Blackwell song originally written for the Platters, was also a US number 1 (in the UK two cover versions took the honours) and made Troxell one of the leaders in the teen-idol stakes. In the midst of their success he was drafted into the navy, his place being taken when necessary by subsequent solo star Vic Dana. Despite Troxells absence, the US hits continued and they totalled nine Top 40 hits between 1959 and 1963, including the number 10 hit Tragedy, a revival of the Thomas Wayne song. The unmistakable close-harmony trio surfaced again in 1973 when they signed with the noted producer Jerry Dennon, but no hits resulted from this brief collaboration.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — The dollar lost ground on Monday after a surprisingly positive report on U.S. manufacturing relieved some worries about the economic outlook on the first day of the fourth quarter.
But weakening of stocks also weighed on the euro following comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
The ICE dollar index DXY, +0.19% which measures the U.S. unit against a basket of six major currencies, slipped to 79.796 from 79.894 in North American trade late Friday.
The euro EURUSD, -0.2757% rose to $1.2894 compared with $1.2866. During Asian hours, the shared currency dipped as low as $1.2802 as risk-oriented assets lost ground after China's manufacturing purchasing managers' index signaled a second month of shrinking activity.
How to harvest profits
With the markets heading into a downbeat earnings season, and the fiscal cliff, presidential campaign and Europe looming, Trading Strategies looks at how to harvest profits in October.
• Will the Halloween Indicator work this year?
• When October comes, don't fear the Reaper
• Harvesting profits and reseeding cash
• A primer on profit-taking for the fall season
• Stocks ripe for harvesting in October
European economic data came in somewhat mixed, with a record-high unemployment rate for the region gaining particular attention. See: Euro-zone unemployment at record 11.4%
The dollar index has fallen over the past three months as uninspiring economic data raised expectations for the Federal Reserve to expand its bond purchase program, which it did in September by unexpectedly announcing unending purchases. Such a policy, sometimes called quantitative easing, is considered to devalue a country's currency.
Earlier Monday, Chicago Federal Reserve Bank Chicago President Charles Evans said those purchases will likely have to last through 2013 before the labor market rebounded sufficiently. See: Fed's Evans sees QE3 lasting through 2013.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said in a speech Monday the Fed's policy remains focused on boosting growth, though its tactic has changed since interest rates near zero hasn't been sufficient. Read: Bernanke takes on critics on QE3.
The dollar index's third-quarter 2.1% loss was its worst performance since the period ended March 2011.
Still, traders believe Bernanke when he's said that every minor improvement in economic data is unlikely to sway the Fed to hit the brakes on buying. The Fed has said it would continue its program even when economic outlook improves -- because it's done so in fits and starts and yet the on/off nature of its easing programs in recent years has failed to produce a sustained recovery.
Still, the trade-off between the dollar and euro -- the two most heavily-traded currencies in the world -- is not one-sided. Europe's sovereign debt crisis has sapped demand for European securities, while the European Central Bank has signaled its willingness to engage in policies very similar to QE.
That's why the euro has been in a downtrend, marked by lower lows and lower highs, since the Fed's quantitative easing announcement in mid-September, noted Michael Derks, chief strategist at FxPro in London.
Indeed the euro gained only 1.4% last quarter versus the dollar. The British pound and Canadian dollar USDCAD, -0.5667% advanced 3% or more over the same period.
It would take a break above Friday's high at $1.2960 to break the euro's downtrend, Derks said, while a fall below $1.28 would provide confirmation for traders bearish on the euro, he said.
"It is a fascinating arm wrestle, with the bulls not yet throwing in the towel despite the fact that the bears have been in the ascendancy for the past two weeks," Derks said, in a note.
Still, the dollar fell a bit more after the Institute for Supply Management's index of purchasing managers climbed to 51.5 from a three-year low of 49.6 in August -- its first month in expansionary territory in four. See: U.S. manufacturing expands in September.
The WSJ Dollar Index BUXX, +0.08% which measures the dollar against a broader basket, fell to 69.72 from Friday's close of 69.77.
The British pound GBPUSD, +0.0860% declined to $1.6134, from $1.6143 Friday.
Against the Japanese yen, the dollar USDJPY, +0.12% rose to 78.01 yen from ¥77.92.
The Australian dollar AUDUSD, -0.0892% was little changed at $1.0371.
The Reserve Bank of Australia, or RBA, will conclude its policy meeting Tuesday, the first of several central-bank meetings traders will be watching this week.
"We expect the RBA to cut rates 25 [basis points] on Tuesday, reflecting concerns on the global economy, and China in particular," said Michala Marcussen, global head of economics at Société Générale."Aussie dollar strength will be an additional concern."

City in a Garden
Just in time for the Chicago Incubator's innovation launch this week, we're showcasing City in a Garden, a documentary comic book about The Art of Science Learning and Chicago's Urban Nutrition challenge. Created by AoSL Artists in Residence Hannah Gamble (writing) and Nick Goettling (images and comics), it's a wonderful, highly visual and interactive work of art, science, and innovation. Using words and illustrations, City in a Garden explores the history of Chicago and the age-old challenge of feeding the world, documents the Art of Science Learning process and project, and celebrates the amazing work of the Chicago incubator participants.
