Final Score: Sheffield United 2 Hartlepool United 3
RITCHIE Humphreys has ticked off plenty on his career list; on Saturday he could add another to his collection, and it was one of his best.
As a schoolboy he supported Sheffield United from the Kop, and hoped to make it at Bramall Lane. But he was released as a 13-year-old before moving across the Steel City to stamp his mark at Wednesday.
It's taken 22 years since leaving his club, but he finally scored at Bramall Lane. Worth the wait? It certainly felt like it.
With Hartlepool United going through the most desperate of seasons, they went to the League One leaders with a single win to their name this campaign.
There's a reason why Pools were 10/1 with the bookies ahead of the game.
Three days previously they had gone to Carlisle, a team with one win in nine, and been rolled over 3-0.
There was only one outcome here surely. Surely?
Instead, Pools gave their most competent performance in almost a year.
The last time they looked anywhere near as decent as this was in beating Notts County 3-0 at Victoria Park in February.
There's been plenty of utter misery since. On this occasion, however, it was sheer joy.
Steve Howard finally got the type of delivery into the area he's been after all season. Seven minutes in and Evan Horwood's cross was there to be powered in. Howard had only scored once this season before Saturday - also against Sheffield United.
He got his second of the game when James Poole provided another cross for the man who should be the division's best targetman to head in.
By then, Humphreys had had his moment. He was involved in starting the move with Simon Walton in midfield. Horwood overlapped and crossed to the near post.
Humphreys met it, took a swing with his left foot and deceived keeper George Long for his first goal since scoring at Bury on February 28.
It wasn't his best goal, but it was celebrated with gusto - even if he embarrassed himself a little bit.
"It was special for me personally. At 35 I fulfilled a boyhood ambition of scoring a goal at the Bramall Lane end. It wasn't quite the Kop end, but being a Sheffield United fan, I can see where I used to sit in the Kop end as a kid,'' he reflected.
"I was released from here when I was 13 and they have always been my club. I cannot make any apologies for celebrating like I did in front of our fans - because of where we are in the league that goal meant a lot to us.
"We have to get out of this situation we are in. Sheffield United is a fantastic football club, as is the other one across the city.
"To score with my parents here added to the joy of going 2-1 up away to the leaders. In the grand scheme of things it's a big thing. It's an ambition to play here for me, let alone score.
"I was mascot here once. I walked out with Keith Edwards and to score here, with what it means to my club, is very special.''
This was the division's shock result of the season. Now it's up to Pools to build on it tomorrow against Preston at Victoria Park and ensure the win isn't wasted.
Preston have only won one FA Cup game in their last ten outings.
But Carlisle were equally out of form going into Boxing Day and Hughes and Humphreys must ensure this is no one-off.
While still some 11 points shy of the safety mark, Humphreys said: "Everyone would probably put money on Sheffield United to beat us and this is an upset.
"In the situation we are in we have to hope to cause upsets, use the situation to our advantage. Hartlepool have nine points at Christmas, people are writing us off and we have to use that as a tool to get motivated.
"There's a chance we can stay up. It's going to be tough but we have to believe after winning at the league leaders.
After scoring, his attempts to slide on his knees in the Bramall Lane mud were scuppered and he ended up rolling over in front of the travelling fans.
"It wasn't a trademark stunner of a goal,'' he confessed. "Evan pulled it back and you have to keep it down as it's easy to put over the bar.
"I did scuff it a bit, but the keeper might have thought it was going across him. I saw it go in and that's all that matters, but my celebration wasn't the best....
"I think I found the only dry bit on the pitch and I've scuffed my knee!
"It means so much to score a goal anywhere in football, but to do it here, in this situation we are in, it's a special one.''
The Blades, managed by Danny Wilson, hadn't lost at home this season.
The ex-Pools chief called the defeat a "flick in the knackers".
They did have a goal chalked off for offside with the scores at 1-1, but the flag - perhaps wrongly - was raised well before the ball was turned in.
Wilson was missing two key defenders in Neill Collins and Tony McMahon.
But the home defence struggled from the off against Howard. From the moment he powered past Matt Hill and Marcus Williams and scored, he was the focal point for Pools.
With willing runners around him and delivery into him accurate, he showed how he can play and Pools showed they can play with him.
Likewise in midfield, Simon Walton was influential sitting in front of the back four and behind a line of three as he prompted Pools from deep.
He showed what he can do and, on this performance, is the player Pools hoped they had signed in the summer.
Manager John Hughes has spoken of the need to come up with a system to suit his players and give them a chance to win games.
On Saturday he found it, the three midfielders ahead of Walton always in the thick of it, allowing the man in the holding role to get on the ball.
This performance was some turnaround from Boxing Day and the dross served up this season.
The pleasing aspect for Humphreys and Co was that they didn't fold after conceding an equaliser.
They dug in, showed the character missing too often, and turned the game back in their favour.
"Boxing Day and we lost at Carlisle - goals change games and that was what finished us off,'' said Humphreys.
"Until the first one there was nothing in it, the second one goes in and we've not come back from deficits like that this season.
"We've had a knockback here, but the spirit was there and got us through it, which is encouraging for me.
"There's a lot of stuff gone on that you have to enjoy doing - tracking runners, jumping, blocking, the basics and the fundamentals of football.
"Me playing against you, I've got to win that battle to give us a platform and if everyone does that then you have a chance.''
He added: "Scoring here is another one to tick off the list. My wife said to me on Saturday morning that I probably wouldn't get the chance to play at Bramall Lane again - what's the chances of me playing in the Championship next season or the one after - so just go out and enjoy it.
"My sister was here from London to see it with my parents and it means a lot.
"A few of my mates around the ground were giving me some stick and I've got a few texts from them, but they will be pleased for me really.''

7 Sweeney: Busy role as part of a three-man midfield and, when called upon defensively, did his job when it mattered.
9 FRANKS: Happier in central than hugging the touchline. Full of energy and graft and, with his head up, was always looking to take the game to the home side;
6 Wyke: Linked up with the midfield and tried to get in and beyond Howard in reading his flick-ons.
8 Howard: A battering ram up front, and it was clear the home centre-halves were beaten physically and mentally.
Poole (for Wyke 60): Used his energy well to first set up Howard for the third goal and then dig in 7
Austin (for Walton 68): Sat deep in front of the back four and swept up the ball on plenty of occasions 6
Monkhouse (for Franks 80)

But, when you say "build and maintain" a cluster, do you mean separately ordering all the machines, routers, cables, racking, and installing them and getting them working (and then the followon maintenance of installing new versions of software from the vendors, cleaning air filters)... At this level, you're pretty OS-independent. It's only when you need to start "developing" new software for this putative small cluster that the environment becomes really important. It's pretty much a given that any sort of *commercial* cluster distribution, whether shrink wrap from Redmond or carefully crafted by one of the cluster vendors on this list will come with some reasonable set of tools to do things like reboot, manage jobs, etc. If the user interface for those tools resembles the user interface that your would-be admin is familiar with (e.g. Microsoft Management Console, etc.) then all is good.

I've often wondered that, at the very least if you are going to install then you should just download a tgz of the root partition rather than the hassle of automagically installing/configuring packages. I guess as long as it works it's worth taking the path of least resistance for installing nodes, it's not like you do it every week anyway so if it takes an extra twenty minutes who cares?

You can of course have a pool of ip's for unknown mac's and then when a node first boots it can work out it's network position and create a static entry in the dhcp config file for itself. Ashley,

one of the sticking points seems to be the fact that immigrant groups have access to capital while african americans are often denied such access.
It means that it is just his opinion and therefore not relevant unless he can show some proof of it. That's why I asked for a link.
That study is 8 years old according to HUD (Sept. 1999) done by the Urban institute, but I found no such Sept. 1999 study on Urban's website...5 minutes wasted my friend.

A new year means it's time for new calendars. And a North Carolina man has created some of the most unusual you'll ever see.
In fact, they show scenes you once weren't supposed to see — official CIA paintings of past spy missions.
They include a depiction of a spy with a rifle shooting down an airplane from a helicopter, and images of two missions in which planes tried to snatch agents off the ground without landing.
There wasn't such a thing as CIA art until Erik Kirzinger, a former logger, fly-fishing guide and cowhand, came up with the idea to commission some for CIA headquarters in Northern Virginia.
"The idea being that when you looked at the collection from one end of the hall to the other it would tell the visual history of the CIA one mission at a time," said Kirzinger.
His motivation was personal. Kirzinger's uncle was a CIA contract pilot who was killed in 1952 on a mission in China — one of those that involved trying to pick up an agent without landing.
In the late 1990s, Kirzinger's mother asked him to try to get his uncle's remains back.
"In order for that to happen, the CIA had to declassify his mission and then they had to share the mission coordinates with the Department of State, which would raise the issue with their Chinese counterparts," he said.
Not so simple, of course. But he wrote then-CIA director George Tenet, who eventually invited Kirzinger to the agency's headquarters for an annual ceremony honoring operatives killed in the line of duty.
"And then when he was describing what the men and women were up to when they were killed, I had these visual images of their missions," Kirzinger said.
He began working with the agency to select declassified missions that were suitable, find donors to pay for the paintings and commission the artists.
Secret missions, meticulous research
One of the artists was Dru Blair, who was known for his aviation paintings and now owns an art school in South Carolina.
Blair said researching and planning the paintings was almost as complicated as some of the missions themselves. Some subjects took years of effort. The CIA helped with things like official accounts and photos of pertinent equipment.
The artists consulted old weather data, checked the location of the sun during a mission and sometimes interviewed surviving spies and other witnesses.
In one case, a museum director in Alabama used heavy equipment to raise the rear of the same type of transport plane depicted in the painting of the mission in which Kirzinger's uncle was killed. That allowed Blair to see the plane as it would appear from another aircraft, behind and beneath.
Blair's painting shows the cargo plane flying close to the ground, taking fire from the Chinese machine gunners who shot it down. Two crewmen stand in an open side door.
"The two guys in the back were manning the machinery and equipment that were going to winch this guy off the ground," Blair said.
The plane flew toward two poles sticking up from the ground, with a line strung from the top of one pole to the other. The line was designed to be attached to a harness around the agent's body. As the plane flew past, it dangled a hook that snagged the line. The crew was then supposed to winch the line, dragging the agent aboard.
"That's the stuff you see in a James Bond movie, but they actually use that in reality to lift people," Blair said. "To extract them, basically, from a dangerous zone."
But the Chinese had captured the spy team on the ground and lured the plane into an ambush. Both pilots died, and the two crew members were held in Chinese prisons for two decades.
Blair was able to talk with them to get vital details for the painting, such as how the foliage looked.
He also had to carefully study the weird spy-snatching equipment.
A later version of the equipment that used balloons rather than poles to lift the line from the ground is shown in another of the paintings. It depicts a 1962 operation dubbed "Cold Feet" that was more successful than the Manchurian mission.
Russian scientists had been forced to hastily abandon an Arctic research station when the ice under it began cracking. The CIA dropped in two agents to scoop up as many secrets as they could, and then a plane snatched them off the ice.
Blair says he felt the weight of history and the obligation to get even small details right when planning the paintings. In one case, the CIA had to declassify the flight manual for a spy plane so that he could see the instrument panel for that type of aircraft.
"There were no photographs of them," Blair said, "and with the constant updating of parts of everything, there was not a single example of that aircraft configuration in existence."
A military art tradition
Eventually, Kirzinger bowed out of helping organize new artwork for CIA headquarters, and the agency began paying for new paintings itself. But he got the idea to put the art into calendars so that people who don't get a chance to roam the halls of CIA headquarters — meaning most of us — can see it.
The idea of CIA art may seem odd. But it's part of a tradition. The Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard all have collections. Their art depicts a range of military scenes: famous battles at sea and on land, famous soldiers and anonymous troops. There are cartoons and paintings by famous artists, including Norman Rockwell.
"There are thousands of pieces in these collections," said Victor Youritzin, a professor emeritus at the University of Oklahoma School of Visual Arts. "They're huge. That's something I think many people in this country are not aware of."
Youritzin spent years poring over the thousands of pieces of art in the various collections of the U.S. military, and he organized a show of some of the best ones. Few art experts have seen as many paintings with national security themes as Youritzin.
But even he was caught a little off guard by what Kirzinger got started.
"I was not aware the CIA had an art collection," Youritzin said, laughing.
Hardly anyone was. But now anyone can see the paintings. And flip to a new one each month.
A new year means a new calendar. And a man in North Carolina has created some very unusual calendars. In fact, they show scenes that you weren't supposed to see. WUNC's Jay Price reports on the only way most people will ever be able to view the CIA's official paintings of past spy missions.
JAY PRICE, BYLINE: Yes, CIA paintings with scenes including a spy with a rifle shooting down an airplane from a helicopter and not one but two missions in which planes try to snatch agents off the ground without even landing. Of course, before there could be calendars of CIA art, there had to be CIA art. And there really wasn't any until Erik Kirzinger, a former logger, fly-fishing guide and cowhand, came up with the idea to commission some for the CIA headquarters in Northern Virginia.
ERIK KIRZINGER: The idea being that when you looked at the collection, it would tell the visual history of the CIA one mission at a time.
PRICE: It was personal. His uncle was a CIA contract pilot who was killed in a 1952 mission in China. Nearly half a century later, Kirzinger listened as then-CIA director George Tenet spoke at an annual ceremony honoring spies killed in the line of duty.
KIRZINGER: When he was describing what the men and women were up to when they were killed, I had these visual images of their missions.
PRICE: He asked CIA leaders if the agency would be interested in art that told some of its stories. And they liked the idea. He helped pick suitable declassified missions, found private donors to pay for the paintings and commissioned the artists. One of them was Dru Blair, who owns an art school in South Carolina.
DRU BLAIR: This is the "Ambush In Manchuria." I'll pull that out.
PRICE: It's the mission in which Kirzinger's uncle was killed. Before painting it, Blair built a 3-D computer model of the scene to get it right.
BLAIR: So the idea is to figure out point of view, first. And we've decided - in this instance, I needed the plane from underneath and...
PRICE: In the painting, the plane is flying low to yank an agent from the ground while taking fire from Chinese machine gunners. The plane is flying toward two poles with a line strung between them. That line attaches to a harness around the agent's body, and a hook dangling from the plane is supposed to snag the line.
BLAIR: ...And that's the stunt that you see in a James Bond movie, but they actually use that in reality to lift people off to extract them, basically, from a dangerous zone.
PRICE: The plane was shot down. And both pilots, including Kirzinger's uncle, were killed. Two surviving crew members were held in Chinese prisons for decades. After the first few paintings, Kirzinger bowed out. And the CIA now commissions new ones itself. But he got the idea to create calendars, so people who don't get a chance to roam CIA headquarters - meaning most of us - can see them. The idea of CIA art may seem odd, but it's kind of part of a tradition, a genre of art we can call - I don't know - maybe a good phrase is national security art. The Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force - even the Coast Guard have art.
VICTOR YOURITZIN: There are thousands of pieces in these collections. They're huge. That's something, I think, many, many people in this country are not aware of.
PRICE: Few art experts have seen as many paintings with national security themes, says Victor Youritzin. The professor emeritus at the University of Oklahoma spent years poring over the thousands of pieces of art in the various collections of the U.S. military and organized a show of some of the best ones.
YOURITZIN: But I was not aware the CIA (laughter) had an art collection.
PRICE: Hardly anyone was. But now anyone can flip to a new CIA painting every month. For NPR News, I'm Jay Price in Greensboro, N.C.

How do I incorporate frozen dark greens (collards, kale & mustard greens) in standard recipes? Is defrosting or cooking in the microwave and then squeezing the water out a healthy option?Where do I "season to taste" unprocessed frozen vegetables using the microwave?
Several factors might determine how you would incorporate frozen dark greens into recipes, and it would likely depend on what the recipe is for. If the recipe calls for fresh, but you would like to use frozen, you could cook the greens and add towards the end of the recipe so that they don't overcook. Alternatively, there may be a point in the recipe at which you could add the frozen greens and cook them as part of the dish, paying attention to the cooking time needed for the greens, and any increase or decrease that might need to be made to the fluids in the recipe. If you would just like to incorporate greens to a recipe that does not call for them, the same guidelines would apply.
Cooking the greens in the microwave is definitely a healthy option. Generally, instructions for cooking frozen vegetables in the microwave are on the package. Most frozen vegetables can be cooked from the frozen state, using very minimal amounts of, and sometimes no water. The vegetables can then be drained in a strainer, or squeezed if any excess water would alter the finished product. This liquid can be saved and used for soups, casseroles, and other uses, if desired.
Seasoning vegetables cooked in the microwave would depend on how you plan to season them. If you are using herbs or pepper, seasoning is probably best after cooking and draining the vegetable. Some seasonings could be added during cooking. When cooking frozen greens in the microwave, stirring during cooking is usually necessary to assure that the vegetable is cooked evenly. Seasonings such as garlic and onion could be stirred in at this point. Be sure to look for other useful cooking tips in the tips section of our web site.

There are several techniques that have been described for distal biceps tendon repair but there is still controversy regarding the optimal technique. Our hypothesis is that the single-incision technique will have a similar complication rate and functionally equivalent restoration of function compared with the two-incision approach. A retrospective review of consecutive biceps tendon repairs was performed at one institution over a 5-year period. Thirty-six patients met the inclusion criteria and 26 were available for follow-up including subjective assessment, physical examination, and strength testing. Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical approach utilized: 12 patients underwent single-incision repair and 14 had a two-incision repair. The average follow-up was 33 months (minimum 13; maximum 75). There were no statistically significant differences in regards to flexion strength or endurance, supination strength or endurance, or complication rates between the two techniques. In conclusion, both surgical techniques led to adequate restoration of strength with a low complication rate. Both techniques are safe to perform and should be guided by surgeon comfort with the approach.

Stacis needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 48 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
Sterling Properties
This is a small emerging boutique real estate company in a highly desirable California coastal town.
targeting an existing market overrun with corporate brands. Customers are looking for specialized service, and the agents are looking for a traditional brokerage model without the fees and restraints associated with the predominat corporate brand. Want to attract high quality agents and buyers and sellers in all price ranges who desire exceptional service and marketing.
I would like a very simple design - color preference: a platinum (sterling) silver, embossed font with a dark background, as that color tends to fade on real estate open house signs. Logo could include the intials "SP" or just be the name itself in distinctive lettering (like Tiffany or Roberto Cavalli). NEW IDEA: incorparate a simple castle design into the logo (basic idea attached in file...but I know you will make it WAY better!).

In this post, I described Obamacare as a uniquely vicious form of corruption. Harsh words? Definitely, but I think justified:
[T]he vicious strategy at the heart of Obamacare [is to] pass terrible legislation, and then collect a toll by exempting your friends–those who pay you lots of money–from that legislation, while your enemies have to live with it.
Dr. Milton Wolf expands on this idea in the Washington Times:
If you would like to know what the White House really thinks of Obamacare, there's an easy way. Look past its press releases. Ignore its promises. Forget its talking points. Instead, simply witness for yourself the outrageous way the White House protects its best friends from Obamacare.
Last year, we learned that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had granted 111 waivers to protect a lucky few from the onerous regulations of the new national health care overhaul. That number quickly and quietly climbed to 222, and last week we learned that the number of Obamacare privileged escapes has skyrocketed to 733.
[N]one of the friends of Barack feature as prominently as the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). How can you get your own free pass from Obamacare? Maybe you can just donate $27 million to President Obama's campaign efforts. That's what Andy Stern did as president of SEIU in 2008. …
Backroom deals and cover-ups may be business as usual for Washington, but understanding why the Obama administration protects its friends from Obamacare offers special insight into what the purveyors of the mandate themselves think about their own law. This is key: The waivers aren't meant to protect victims from unintended consequences of Obamacare; they are meant to exempt them from the very intentional increased costs of health insurance that the law causes. …
In short, the administration has decided that you will face increased health insurance premiums, but special friends in the unions will not. Look closely, and you'll see not only the White House's duplicity but also what the Obama administration really thinks of its crown jewel, Obamacare.

Hillsborough inquests - March 31
The Hillsborough inquests commenced on March 31, 2014 and are the subject of reporting restrictions that have been imposed by the Attorney General's office. Liverpool Football Club is respectful of these restrictions and will therefore only be making available updates from other media channels for the duration of the inquest.
Courtesy of Press Association
March 31
Hundreds of relatives of the 96 football fans killed in the Hillsborough disaster today gathered in a packed courtroom for the start of the fresh inquests into their loved ones' deaths.
Feelings ran high as the families, along with a raft of journalists and lawyers, came to the long-awaited hearing in a specially fitted office building on the outskirts of Warrington, Cheshire.
Vice-chairwoman of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, Jenni Hicks, said the inquest had been 'a long time coming', while Charlotte Hennessy who lost her father in the tragedy hoped it was 'the beginning of the end'.
A potential jury of 11 along with a pool of extras was selected, ready for tomorrow when they are due to be sworn in and coroner Lord Justice Goldring intends to open the case.
Sending the group home overnight, he told them: "An enormous amount, as you know, has been written and said and published about the Hillsborough disaster and there have been programmes on television and on the radio and there are vast amounts of material on the internet.
"There may be a great temptation for you to read articles which have been published or watch programmes which have taken place, or search for material about the disaster on internet or on social networking sites.
"My direction is simple, I repeat it, you must not.
"It is vitally important for any jury that their deliberations and conclusions are based only on the evidence which they hear."
The jurors, who were warned that the inquest could take a year, had already filled in questionnaires to decide their suitability to hear the case, and today were asked to say if they supported Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham Forest or Liverpool.
They were also given a list of witnesses to see if they know any of them.
Lord Justice Goldring said: "Each of you has filled out a questionnaire which I have. I shall only ask questions arising from it where that is appropriate. I want to add two things. First the case may well take 12 months, in other words longer than the nine months which was foreshadowed on the questionnaire.
"Second if your name is called and you are a supporter of Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham Forest or Liverpool I shall ask you to indicate."
Relatives of those who died were emotional as they arrived at the much-fought-for hearing earlier today.
Ms Hicks said: "It's been a long time coming. I've had an emotional weekend."
Ms Hennessy, who lost her father James Robert Hennessy in the disaster when she was six years old, said: "It's finally here. I don't know if excited is the right word to use, but finally we're here and it's going to happen.
"I'm really, really nervous. It's been a long, long fight.
"Hopefully, this is the beginning of the end. I was a bit of a emotional wreck this weekend, I've not slept a wink. But this is the beginning now, hopefully it can be put right."
Today's proceedings were also shown in an annex in the court building, as well as in a private room for relatives in Liverpool.
The inquest site in Birchwood Business Park is a specially fitted office block that includes a 4,300 sq ft courtroom with seating for 286 members of the public and 92 advocates.
Later in the week, after the coroner has opened the case, a series of 'pen portraits' of all the victims will be presented to the court over the next month.
Britain's worst sporting disaster happened on April 15, 1989 during Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest as thousands of fans were crushed on the ground's Leppings Lane terrace.
Verdicts of accidental death from the original Hillsborough inquest in March 1991 were quashed in December 2012, after the Hillsborough Independent Panel delivered its final report on the disaster earlier that year.
The hearing was adjourned until tomorrow.

I've looked at the "stack o'laptops" (much like the very first demo cluster, no?) but you're paying a lot for screens, keyboards, etc, and besides laptops aren't the most rugged devices in the world. >Truthfully, I think that if one really pushed it, one could probably >build a 50 GB solid state device (no moving parts) inside one of the >small "paperback" portable USB disk enclosures like the one I have for >my laptop.

Mainstreaming Civil Society Participation at the Annual Meetings
The participation of civil society representatives at the World Bank and IMF's Annual Meetings, which brings together the world's finance ministers to discuss international development policy, has grown steadily over the past six years. The most recent Annual Meeting, held in October 2011, saw the largest CSO participation to date, with a total of 600 CSO representatives from 85 countries in attendance. They represented a variety of civil society constituencies: non-governmental organizations, youth groups, foundations, faith-based groups, and trade unions. They came to discuss a broad range of issues ranging from financial transactions tax and aid effectiveness, to energy policy. In order to ensure that Southern CSO voices are also heard, the Bank and Fund sponsored 60 CSO and Youth Leaders from developing countries to participate in the Meetings.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Expedia Inc. skidded on Tuesday on concerns of deteriorating visibility on Google search after it was penalized for paid links while Alcoa Inc. surged following an analyst upgrade.
Expedia EXPE, +1.23% shares shed 4%. The online travel site's visibility on Google has reportedly dropped 25% due to an unnatural link penalty, Search Engine Land reported, citing data from Search Metrics. The penalty is imposed to punish Web sites that pay for links on other sites to get better results on Google.
Alcoa AA, +1.39% surged 6.4%. Analyst Michael Gambardella at J.P. Morgan raised the stock's rating to overweight from neutral and hiked its price target to $15 from $9. The upgrade was to "reflect the impact of tightening aluminum markets and rising regional aluminum premiums on earnings," he said.
Dow Chemical Co. DOW, -0.43% shares climbed 6.4% after activist investors Dan Loeb disclosed a $1.3 billion stake in the company through his firm Third Point LLC. Loeb is also calling for the company to spin off its petrochemical business.
Zions Bancorporation ZION, +4.56% rose 4%. The regional bank is scheduled to report fourth-quarter results next week. Analysts surveyed by FactSet project the bank to earn 42 cents a share on average.
Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. shares advanced 4.1%. Cabot was one of the companies named as a favorite among exploration and production companies by analyst Gabriele Sorbara at Topeka Capital Markets.
Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. CLF, +2.82% shares fell for a third day, falling 5.8%, in the wake of a bearish outlook on the mining commodities market. "We believe the commodities with the greatest downside over the next 12 months are iron ore (-21%) and copper (-15%)," Christian Lelong, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, said in a report. Cliffs is a major iron ore and metallurgical coal producer.
Tenet Healthcare Corp. THC, +5.00% shares slid 4%. The stock is pressured in part by continuing uncertainty over how the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, will affect its earnings.
Allegheny Technologies Inc. ATI, -2.00% shares retreated 5.4%. The stock's rating was revised to underweight from "not rated" with a price target of $21 at J.P. Morgan.
Amarin Corp. AMRN, +1.32% shares plunged 25% after the biopharmaceutical company said that a division of the Food and Drug Administration won't reverse a decision to rescind its special protocol agrement for a trial of its drug Vascepa. Amarin intends to appeal the decision.
Tickers to Watch
MDLZ: Mondelez International Inc. MDLZ, +0.36% dropped 2.6% after the maker of Oreo cookies said it added activist investor Nelson Peltz to its board. Peltz, who runs Trian Fund Management LP, said it needs to improve performance since splitting from Kraft Foods in the fall of 2014, according to the Associated Press.
Rumors had been swirling that Peltz would push for a merger with PepsiCo Inc. PEP, +0.51% but they were put to rest after his appointment to the board, according to a CNBC report. PepsiCo shares were up 0.7%.
UL: Unilever PLC UL, +0.10% advanced 3.2% despite posting its first slowdown in full-year sales growth since 2009. The maker of Ben & Jerry's ice cream and other food and household products said it expects volatility going forward.
DAL: Delta Air Lines Inc. DAL, +0.85% shares climbed 3.2% after the firm reported adjusted fourth-quarter earnings of 65 cents per share, compared to analyst estimates of 63 cents, according to a FactSet poll.
GME: GameStop Corp. GME, +2.77% shares gained 1.8%, making up for some of its plunge last week. The stock was battered after the company cut its earnings outlook for the holiday quarter after disappointing sales.
GPS: Gap Inc. GPS, -0.63% shares were up 2.7% after analysts at Sterne Agee upgraded the company to buy from underperform.
"GPS was a holiday outperformer (1 of just 3 retailers that beat plan), compares are easier in '14, and GPS has the flexibility (SG&A, buybacks) to keep growing the bottom line — even in a tough retail environment. Hence, we're jumping on GPS as our best value name to own in 2014," said analyst Ike Boruchow.

Next we all know about > the famous performance-memory tradeoff which says that performance can > be improved by consuming more memory and vice versa. Therefore HPC > applications want to consume all available memory. this is simply untrue. the HPC apps I deal with most fall into two broad categories: - montecarlo-type stuff, which tends to be incredibly small, even cache-resident, and which certainly does NOT want or need more memory. - physically-based simulations (cosmology, condensed matter, materials, etc), which has a very clear memory requirement based on the model being sumulated. MC-class stuff is almost insignificant in memory use and scales linearly. physically-based simulations tend to be limited by work, not space - yes, you need enough memory, but world-class problems will be pushing the boundaries of cpu/interconnect speed, not so much memory size. it's useful to state up-front what sizes we're talking about. I say that 1GB per cpu is the lower bound of what's reasonable today - just in terms of packaging (2x512M dimms per cpu). admittedly, Intel's approach might get by with less. but my biggest users are reasonably happy with 4GB/p today, maybe a little eager for 8GB/p tomorrow. that's reasonably congruent with where the market is (4x1G dimms per opteron, for instance.) MC people with very simple models are around 4MB/p (that's mega), and people with larger models (MC or not) are at around 400 MB/p. > But the performance-memory tradeoff as mentioned above supposes infinite > memory and infinite memory bandwith. Because memory if finite, consuming > more memory as physically available will result in swapping by the OS swapping in HPC is a non-fatal error condition. note that I also didn't mention "old-fashioned" applications which use tons of disk space to cache partial results. I would argue that the "old-fashioned" jeer is at least partially justified by the assumption of disk-intensive apps that they can't scale NCPUS. yes, you can dress these apps up as "out-of-core", but I'm not so sure they really make sense today. > Knowing this we could say that HPC applications generally want to eat > all available memory but not more. All available memory here means all I don't believe this is a useful generalization. applications have a "natural" size. applications which are blindly scaled up in data (without corresponding scaling of NCPUS) are highly suspect, IMO. > basic services because we suppose that HPC applications do not share > their processor with other applications (to have the whole cache for > itself). don't freak out about caches! a cache flush is only a millisecond or so, which means that it's entirely reasonable to timeslice applications on a fairly coarse granularity (theoretically, even just a few seconds would be enough to amortize the flush.) admittedly, I'm ignoring the difference between a cache's worth of isolated fetches and a (streaming) flush, but back-of-envelope numbers indicate this is not a big problem. the real issue is that tight-coupled apps need gang scheduling. > Well this is true for single-processor machines. On multi-proc > machines (smp,numa) only a part of the physical memory can be consumed. depends on the machine. even on an altix with 9M caches, flushing would take ~2ms, so if you do it every 100 seconds, no one will notice. consider an opteron with 1M cache and 3 GB/s easily sustainable BW and 50 ns latency. .3 ms for a streaming flush and .8 ms line-by-line. > loops (e.g. in the solver)? In the latter case, can we rely on the OS > swapping out the inactive parts of our application to make space for the > solver or would it be better that the application puts all > data-structures that are not used in the solver on disk to make sure? the OS has mediocre insight into which pages you really should have resident vs on disk. you probably *can* arrange your access patterns to be very simple (a single window moving through a large span of memory) which the VM will approximate. but you're probably better off doing it yourself. I question whether this approach makes that much sense, though, since CPUs are *not* all that expensive, relative to large amounts of ram, and especially when considering the speed of disk. > OTOH if we want to limit the total memory consumption to 7.5GB, would it > be best to allocate a memory-pool of 7.5GB and if the pool is full abort > the application (after running for days)? depends on how effectively the VM can approximate the working set. I say kill the application when its %CPU drops too low due to thrashing. and go talk to the job's owner to figure out a better way/place to run it. regards, mark hahn.

While several Middlebury College teams pursue NCAA Division III titles this weekend — women's soccer at home in a sectional and the cross-country runners out in Indiana — a Panther club team will also be seeking a national championship, namely the perennially successful Middlebury rugby squad.
We all remember where we were when we heard the news.
I was in Miss Howard's classroom.
It's funny the little things you recall from 50 years ago. Miss Howard was young, pretty and friendly. But she was overweight, and everyone knew she would have a hard time finding a husband.
My classmates and I spent the time before and after school that fall playing touch football, and arguing about whether the ball carrier had actually been touched with two hands or just one.

The Middlebury Union High School football team defeated South Burlington at the Divsion I state championship game in Rutland on Saturday evening. The undefeated Tigers, who beat South Burlington earlier this season, fell behind early, 6-0, but rallied to carry a 13-6 lead into halftime. MUHS scored twice in the second half and won 26-6.
See a full account of the game and photos in Monday's Addison Independent — online and on your newsstand.
If you're thinking of getting into a written squabble, Mark Twain once wrote, "never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel."
It's a joke most aptly applied to the days of yore when newspapers, run by mavericks like William Randolph Hearst and others in the peak of Yellow Journalism (1895-8), were, let's say, sometimes less than ethical.
Flu season is upon us yet again.

Your Secret Weapon in Sales? The Phone
The phone has become an underutilized sales tool, says Ilise Benun of Marketing Mentor. Emails and tweet lack a human touch, she says. So think about dialing the next time you want to reach a sales prospect. But before you pick up the phone, do your homework and determine how you can best help your potential customer. Make sure you leave a customized message in the likely event they don't answer -- and follow up with an email. Lastly, don't worry about being annoying, as you may be calling someone just when they need you most.

Jessica Watson sailed around the world, alone, as a teenager.
Before Jessica Watson steered her 34-foot yacht across four oceans, circling the globe without stopping once, her yacht had a collision with a 63,000-ton bulk carrier during the first night of a sea trial. Her boat, Ella's Pink Lady, lost its mast. Her quest to sail around the world before her 17th birthday was already controversial, and the collision only seemed to strengthen the arguments against the young Australian—that she was too young, too inexperienced, and too immature. (These were also directed at Watson's parents and two other young wannabe circumnavigators, siblings Zak and Abby Sunderland.) But Watson, who was raised on sailboats and is more poised than most, quietly returned to port, tended to her broken ship, and returned to sea. "Any doubts about whether I could cope mentally," Watson later wrote, "vanished…I was stronger, more determined, and ready…."
On May 15, 2010, after 210 days, the smiling 16-year-old arrived in Sydney Harbor, the youngest single-handed, non-stop, unassisted circumnavigator of all time. This, too, would become controversial, for detractors took Watson to task for not sailing far enough into the Northern Hemisphere. No matter. Tens of thousands of fans came out to greet her triumphant return to Australia, while millions watched on national television. But perhaps more impressive were the numbers of people following her journey in real time, through her blog. Watson once wrote: "I could write about a fly landing on Ella's Pink Lady and someone would find it interesting." And 447 encouraging comments followed.
—By Ryan Bradley
By Jessica WatsonReadyingI'm on boats all the time, just hanging around marinas, shipyards, studying every part of a boat, and celestial navigation, too. Before I left, the longest voyage I'd been on was 14 days straight, though I had almost 10,000 miles sea time through the Tasman, Pacific, and the Southern Arctic Oceans.
Team Jess
For me, the most important thing was preparation and the amazing team of people around me, who just wouldn't have let me leave unless I was ready. You need an incredible amount of support to achieve something like this, and I was lucky. I'm not saying everyone should go out and sail around the world.
Downside Up
In the Atlantic, the boat rolled over four times during one storm. The third wave had me worried—I got picked up 180 degrees upside down and then thrown into the trough of another wave. It kind of makes you think: How big must that wave have been to do that? There wasn't a lot I could do, in a situation like that, except hunker down, hold on to anything and everything, and stand on the ceiling.
Best Moments
The Pacific was easy sailing, smooth and fun. In the Southern Ocean, around Cape Horn, the albatrosses were just amazing, surfing down the face of the waves. One of the great things about sailing is no two days are really the same. Some days I was getting as much sleep as I could, just reading, keeping up with schoolwork, maintenance, and keeping in touch with home.
Winding Down
In the last week, crossing the Tasman Sea, there were lightning storms and the wind was gusting 50 knots, but I couldn't have cared in the slightest. I was out there doing what I loved, preparing for an amazing welcome. Honestly, I wanted to keep going, to keep sailing. Nothing could have killed that buzz.
The Point
Before I left, I remember being asked by someone, "How can you possibly know what's going to happen?" Well, of course you can't. You do your best to prepare, but it is an adventure. You can't fully prepare—that's the point.
Driving, Schoolwork, Still Sailing
After I finished, I sailed Pink Lady back up home and since then I don't think I've spent two weeks in the same place. I haven't been home in a few months, and on the road I'm learning to drive and doing homeschooling. People say that it's too bad I've been robbed of being a normal teenager, but what's normal?

Marlies Appoint Ben Simon As Assistant Coachby Staff Writer / Toronto Maple Leafs
The Toronto Marlies announced Tuesday that Ben Simon will join the team as an assistant coach alongside head coach Gord Dineen and associate coach Derek King for the 2014-15 season.
Simon, 36, served as head coach of the ECHL's Cincinnati Cyclones last season. Under his direction, Cincinnati finished the regular season fifth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 41-23-4-4 for 90 points. The Shaker Heights, Ohio native led the Cyclones to the Kelly Cup Final where they were defeated by the Alaska Aces in six games.
Prior to joining Cincinnati at the start of the 2013-14 season, Simon served as an assistant coach for two seasons with the AHL's Rockford IceHogs. As a rookie head coach in 2010-11, Simon led the Sheffield Steelers to the Elite Ice Hockey League Championship in England.
During his playing career, Simon skated in 81 NHL games registering 4 points and 47 penalty minutes with the Atlanta Thrashers and Columbus Blue Jackets. Simon was originally drafted in the fifth round, 110th overall, by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 1997 Entry Draft. Simon also appeared in 44 regular season games with the Toronto Marlies in 2009-10, collecting 8 points and 51 penalty minutes.

(For 10Gig, you have to do even uglier > tricks.) What Greg is trying to say is that high-speed interconnects used in HPC do not raises interrupts at all. Data is delivered directly in user-space, and the app (or the communication library) busy polls on it, no kernel/OS involved. There is one app process per core (usually bound to improve locality in a NUMA architecture). When a daemon wakes up, it will preempt a core, and the app process just has to wait. If the app is tighly coupled, that will delay everybody. You can say that a daemon waking up every couple of hours is no big deal. However, if these events are uniformly distributed on a couple thousand nodes, it will happen a couple thousand times more often. You can solve this by gang scheduling the daemons across all the nodes, or you can turn them off. However, it is only important for large machines with tightly coupled codes. For the majority of the cases, it's just being anal. Patrick

You can do this with any of the freely available MPI versions. If you want to learn about writing MPI codes, it is easy enough to oversubscribe a single computer with multiple MPI processes. Of course you will need to keep an eye on how much memory you are using, but you could run a reasonable number of tasks to start learning MPI programming. Speed-up and other "cluster concepts" can come along later. Indeed, with multi-core systems it may become more than just an academic exercise. You can find more on this idea at the Monkey: MPI: Processes, Processors, and MPI, Oh My! (http://www.clustermonkey.net//content/view/26/32/) -- Doug

- Yield
- Makes about 20 doughnuts
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups mashed cooked russet (baking) potatoes (about 1 pound)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest if desired
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- vegetable oil for frying
- For the coating
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
- Into a bowl sift the flour, the baking powder, the salt, the cinnamon, and the nutmeg. In a small bowl whisk together the eggs, the butter, the sugar, the potatoes, the milk, the zest, and the vanilla until the mixture is combined well, add the potato mixture to the flour mixture, and stir the dough until it is just combined. Chill the dough, covered, for 1 hour, or until it is cold and can be handled easily. Roll out half the dough 1/2 inch thick on a well-floured surface and with a 3- to 3 1/2 inch doughnut cutter cut out doughnuts, reserving the center pieces. With the other half of the dough either cut out round doughnuts in the same manner or shape the dough into crullers. For the crullers, roll the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle about 14- by 5-inches and cut into 5- by 1/2 inch strips. To form each cruller twist 2 strips of dough together and pinch the ends to secure them. Fry the round doughnuts, the reserved doughnut centers, and the crullers in batches in 2 inches of 375°F. oil, or until they are golden, transferring them as they are fried to paper towels to drain.
- While the doughnuts are still warm roll them, 1 at a time, in the sugar mixture, coating them well. The doughnuts keep, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 1 day.
- Make the coating:
- In a shallow bowl stir together the sugar and the cinnamon.

I can't believe Barbaro is gone
I was just talking to my bf last night about Barbaro's condition. And as soon as I wake up, I found out he's been put to rest. What made me even more mad was ESPN. They didn't even have him on the front page of their website for the whole weekend, probably knowing his dire condition. Thank goodness for SI, right?! Anyways, I'm totally sad. It's true the huge amount of public interest surrounding him pushed everyone in his camp to try and fix him instead of euthanizing Barbaro way back when. He didn't even live lone enough to hit the anniversary of his Kentucky Derby win. And Barbaro will never have little Barbies and Baros running all over the place. He should have really been reproducing before this all happened.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — There's nothing like news from Russia that the Shaquille O'Neal–Kobe Bryant feud that fueled the Lakers all those years was the creation of Phil Jackson.
Stunner, huh?
Not exactly. But when Robert Horry weighs in on the topic, from Russian website Sports.Ru (translation courtesy of Alexander Chernykh and his Rush'n Hoops blog):
I think Phil Jackson started that feud. It happened many times that after team practice he would say, "Kobe said this about Shaq, and Shaq said that about Kobe… We couldn't believe how could that happen, because just the day before we saw them together, jumping on one another. Phil liked it when there was conflict of some sort.
I always tell people; if you look at those championships, you'll see who were the closest players on the team. Normally those are the guys who are the first to hug each other. And when we were winning, it was always Shaq and Kobe who hugged. I think this will answer your question. Later it was blown out of proportion by the media and both players started doing something that didn't make sense.
We've already heard from two people who were around the Lakers from the start of that run until ended that dispute the origins of the feud and insist that Jackson only fanned the flames that were already there.
Both Roland Lazenby and Howard Beck of The New York Times, a beat writer for the Los Angeles Daily News during the Shaq-Kobe era, dispute the claim that Jackson started the feud.
In his own defense, Horry tweeted that the translation was, a bit scattered, to say the least.
I know Jackson is considered a wizard in many circles, but even he would have a hard time starting one of the greatest beefs in the history of sport before he ever showed up to coach the two players involved.

Merry Xmas
This year once again rolled around far too quickly. I swear I had an extra two weeks to go until the 25th, but alas I'm proven wrong. As usual there's just too many things to do and not enough time to do them in.
The big ticket items for imminent release are: new puakma.net website and Vortex IDE. Watch this space for an early January launch. Here's a sneak preview:
The last couple of days have been spent refining the ability to import and export data (.pdx) in the same way you can export an application's design (.pmx file). This has had a couple of gotchas, like schema differences between source and destination. Currently this works on a table by table case - and it works great! Moving data between different databases is a snap, yesterday I moved some between postgresql and mysql with no problems. The intermediary file is a compressed xml file (as is a .pmx), and we've opened up the API to allow better access to process the data. Next step is I guess a full database export which will be great for backups. Did I mention all this is done in a web browser?
For those of you still foolish enough to be working at this time of year (and everyone else) I wish you the very best for the holiday season and a happy and healthy new year.

Air Quality Action Day has been forecast for Northwest Indiana for Tuesday
An Air Quality Action Day has been forecast for Northwest
Indiana for Tuesday, July 16, 2013 for ozone. This includes the counties of
Lake, Porter, and LaPorte and the cities of Gary, Hammond, Whiting, and
Michigan City.
Ozone levels are expected to be in the orange or Unhealthy
for Sensitive Groups range.
Active children and adults, and people with respiratory
disease, such as asthma should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
For more information visit the IDEM Smog Watch web site at http://www.in.gov/apps/idem/smog/ or
the EPA AIRNow web site at
http://www.airnow.gov/ and click on Indiana.
An IDEM press release follows:
IDEM forecasts high ozone for two areas in Indiana
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) is
forecasting high ozone levels for Tuesday, July 16, 2013, in the following
metropolitan areas:
Michigan City-LaPorte – LaPorte County
Northwest Indiana – Jasper, Lake, Newton, and Porter counties
IDEM encourages everyone to help reduce ozone by making
simple changes to their daily habits. You can:
Walk, bike, carpool or use public transportation.
Avoid using the drive-through and combine errands into one
Avoid using gasoline-powered lawn equipment until after 7
Turn off your engine when idling for more than 30 seconds.
Conserve energy by turning off lights or setting the air
conditioner to 75 degrees or above.
Anyone sensitive to poor air quality may be affected when
ozone levels are elevated. Children, the elderly and anyone with heart or
lung conditions should reduce or avoid exertion and heavy work outdoors.
IDEM examines weather patterns and current ozone readings to
make daily air quality forecasts. To learn more about ozone or sign up for
air quality forecasts, visit
Ground-level ozone is formed when sunlight and hot weather
bake vehicle exhaust, factory emissions and gasoline vapors. Ozone in the
upper atmosphere blocks ultraviolet radiation, but ozone near the ground is
a lung irritant that can cause coughing and breathing difficulties.
