Even if he loses some customers on price (which he will) . . . he will make it up in margins--and, ultimately, profit is the key to a successful business.
The second key, once prices are raised, is to keep happy customers coming back That's because the key to a viable business is repeat business. There's no sense working hard and devoting hours to what is basically a low-paying job--even if it is his "own" business.
That said, having his own business means he is in control, and he has the power to increase his profits and decrease his time spent working--two results that can be measured by running the business at higher prices, rather than having the lower-priced business run him.
All the best.

Categories > Anime/Manga > Bleach > Oh My Gigai!
Hail, Oniisama!0 Reviews
When Byakuya finds out, you're dead.
By Rhaine
Chapter Two : Hail, Oniisama!
"Nooooooo!" Ichigo screamed as he sat up from bed, his heart pounding and his body all sweaty. His chest heaved in panic as he glanced beside him, seeing Rukia's gigai still "unconscious". He swallowed hard. Such a horrible dream! Byakuya found him in an uncomfortable situation with Rukia's gigai, chased after him with Senbonzakura and said something about living with him and Rukia in his very room. Ichigo shook his head.
He was never, ever drinking punch even if his life depended on it!
"Ichigo?" Rukia in her Shinigami robes blinked as she sat on the window.
"What? I had a bad dream."
"You're too loud." A voice came with the sound of the opening closet door. Ichigo thought his heart stopped beating as a man with kenseikan on his hair emerged from his closet.
"There is no way you can convince me to sleep in this box."
Oh, dear lord.
Ichigo released a loud, aggravated scream for the whole world to hear – the world including his two younger sisters and annoying, perverted father who were just below the floor they were on. The scream died out and after that were sound of three pairs of feet with thumping footsteps towards his room.
Ichigo and Rukia gasped in unison. The smaller Shinigami instinctively jumped into the closet, dragging her brother in and making all the efforts to cover up whatever noise he was supposed to make.
Karin and Yuzu's voice came with the door opening and the closet closing. Ichigo's mouth was still open and eyes as wide as plates when his sisters came in.
"Ichigo, what's wrong with you, boy?" Isshin asked.
"I'm okay… Just… had… uh… bad dream." Ichigo was trying to pry his eyes off the closet door.
"Are you sure?" Yuzu clasped her hands together.
"Are you sure it was a bad dream? What kind of bad dream?" Isshin had that annoying smile plastered across his face. Ichigo's right eye twitched, "Or are you sure you were reallyjust dreaming?"
"I said I'm fine. I was just dreaming." Ichigo was looking flatly at Isshin.
"Are you sure?" The grin intensified.
"I said I'm fine, you old man, now stop it!"
"Ah-ha! Why are you so aggressive about it, Ichigo?" Isshin was now looking at him skeptically before nodding, "Well, aggessiveness is a plus, Ichigo so I guess it's okay. Perhaps I should give you the talk?"
"No!" Ichigo and Karin chorused. Both of them knew that whatever crazy idea their father suggests, the whole family is dragged along to participate in it. Whether voluntary or compulsory was out of the question! The last time Isshin tried giving Ichigo the talk involved diagrams and slideshows that Ichigo did not want to hear anything that rhymed with clitoris ever again! And it involved a "father-and-son" Hentai marathon, whose weird sounds penetrated Karin's bedroom walls!
Isshin then proceeded to run to Masaki's picture and rattle tearfully about what kind of man his son had become. Karin grunted, gave Ichigo a final "checking-up-on-you" look and left. Yuzu blinked at the exchange between everyone in her family and, after making sure Ichigo was fine ("Don't you need anything else, Oniichan?"), she left and closed the door.
"You can come out now." Ichigo muttered as he walked towards the door and locked it.
The closet door slid open and Rukia jumped out, followed by Byakuya.
"I repeat, no one can make me sleep in that box."
"Stop calling my closet a box!"
"This is not what I would call a closet."
For the love of all that is good and pure, would someone rid his sight of this man!
"Ichigo…!" Rukia's face came and covered that of Byakuya's image, "It's okay. For as long as we don't do anything wrong or bad – which I never did, don't know about you – it'll be fine."
"Are you saying I did something wrong to deserve this?" Ichigo glared, keeping his voice low as Byakuya continued to inspect other aspects of his room.
"Oh, then groping my gigai is not a sign of being hentai?" Rukia shot back.
"I was drunk."
"Fine, drunk hentai then!"
"That's not what I meant!"
"Look, here, Byakuya-Niisama saw something he did not like. And by that, I mean saw with his own eyes." Rukia grabbed Ichigo by the collar, "You'renot the only one in trouble here. I risk being in a situation I can't bargain for."
"If it's nowhere close to being ripped by a million girly petal swords then go ahead and tell me."
"I risk being introduced to some other noble guy, you hear? It's either for me to get acquainted with him to the fearsome point of marriage."
No way. Well, not that he actually cared about Rukia being married off and stuff.
"I pity the poor guy who gets you as a wife."
"That's not my point!" Rukia smacked Ichigo with a heavy fist and the orange-haired boy's head threw to the side.
"Stop being too loud, the both of you." Byakuya spoke with his icy voice again.
Was he bound to be living with this guy for a long time? Could he not just talk him out of it?
Ichigo told him it was an accident. Byakuya said he was sleeping on a bed or a futon and nothing less. Ichigo told him he was drunk at that time. Byakuya said that when the need calls for him to be in a gigai, he was not eating food that was bad for a gigai. Ichigo told him he could not stay in his house let alone his room. Byakuya said Ichigo's room was rather small.
So much for "talk him out of it".
Obviously, Kuchiki Byakuya had decided to by-pass everything about Ichigo explaining and/or complaining. He had stated that he was staying with Ichigo and Rukia to monitor how things actually were. As the head of the Kuchiki clan and older brother of Rukia, it was his duty to see if his younger sister was being harmed, abused or demoralized. And if ever he was able to prove that Ichigo was doing something like the aforementioned things, Senbonzakura on Bankai would be the least of his worries.
"If I ever prove that you've actually tarnished my sister's purity, it hurts me to think that I'll have to marry the two of you off."
Oh, it hurts you? Ichigo stopped himself from rolling his eyes away and Rukia felt like her jaw took a dive towards the floor.
And Renji?
Of course, dear Byakuya-taichou would leave a hell lot of paperwork and duties so if it holds true that "part of a captain's responsibilities is to make sure the vice-captain's responsibilities are taken care of" then it also worked vice-versa.
At least Renji was suffering some kind of Byakuya-inflicted pain as Ichigo was. And at least Ichigo did not have to worry about a red-haired fukutaichou annoying him to the point of insanity because of what he unintentionally did to Rukia's gigai.
And would someone please answer him why of all times did Ukitake have to get sick (again) and let Byakuya take care of the Captain's so-called on-the-spot checking on Rukia's duties when he was suffering from spiked punch?
If it had been Shinsui who did the visit then he'd be dealing with scandalous pictures of him and Rukia (the gigai). And if it had been Kenpachi then his house would've broken down from all the reiatsu and being caught hugging a gigai looking like Rukia would be minimal from all the problems to dawn on him. Oh damn it all, he never thought a blind captain like Tousen would be of some use!
Either fate must have conspired against him or one of his stars budged out of a good alignment and into a horrible Byakuya-infested one.
He was argumentative about how Rukia was forced to be crammed up inside a box ("I said closet!") and why she was being kept so. Fortunately, Ichigo was able to explain and defend the "keeping" part but not the "crammed inside a box" part. It was at this point that a hell butterfly brought the 6th Squad Captain permission to stay in the Human World for the purpose of his clan.
Oh, joy!
The butterfly has served its purpose. Could I crush it now just to vent?
"I wonder what it is that is taking Urahara so long for that gigai to come." Byakuya was saying now as he looked out the window, his ice blue scarf flowed from the slight breeze.
"You ordered a gigai?" Ichigo raised an eyebrow, "I mean, don't youalready have a gigai?"
"I've arranged for the gigai to be delivered." Byakuya said instead and Ichigo was not sure if that was supposed to be an answer to his question. But that wasn't the point. Did Byakuya just say "deliver"?
"Delivered where?"
"Here, of course."
Ichigo's eyes widened and sprang out his room with Rukia after him to close the door flat. Stupid Kuchiki-taichou! He could only imagine how his family would react upon seeing a box with a body inside! Was he supposed to say the body was supposed to be for him? ("Ichigo, why are you interested in men's bodies! Aaaah, our only son has turned homosexual! Oh, Masaki, where did I go wrong!") Ichigo found his place in front of the main door where he would wait for stupid Kuchiki-taichou's stupid gigai from even stupider Urahara who agreed to deliver the merchandise in the first place!
Perhaps Byakuya paid twice the fee?
Only moments after he stood there came to small figures carrying something were approaching his house. Ichigo blinked once and twice and squinted to see. Oh, all right, those were Jinta and Ururu and whatever it was they were holding was probably the gigai. And they were headed for… his bedroom!
"Holy hell!" Ichigo growled and he ran towards the direction the two children were heading to. After announcing that Byakuya haul his sorry ass away from the window in the next three seconds, Ichigo scaled the wall and jumped through his window. As if on cue, Jinta and Ururu followed. The next few minutes were spent trying to get the "merchandise" in his bedroom without wrecking his bedroom window thanks to the large wooden boxes that encased the gigai.
Wait, hold that thought. Boxes?
"Two boxes?" Ichigo was still huffing as Ururu closed the window and Byakuya ordered Jinta to open the first box… that contained two gigais. One was Rukia and the other was Byakuya. Ichigo whipped towards his bed. The Rukia gigai was still there. Why was there another one?
"I can't let Rukia used a gigai I've seen you kiss and hug and who-knows-what-else." Byakuya said as if reading Ichigo's mind, "She's going to use this." And he pointed at the similar Rukia gigai (similar clothes, even!) in the box.
"Youkissed her gigai!" Jinta blasted.
"Who talked to you, runt!" Ichigo's foot found a good spot on Jinta's face.
"Why did you kiss her gigai?"
Ururu was lucky she was a girl.
"Stop asking me stupid questions!" the Shinigami Representative glared at Ururu then at Jinta and finally at Rukia whose acting skills kicked in and hid behind "oniisama".
"If you didn't do something stupid then you won't get stupid questions." Byakuya said again. His voice was still flat. Geez, would it kill him to have some emotion at random times like this?
"I said I was drunk that time and I didn't mean it. Drunk people are oftentimes bound to do stupid things." Ichigo pouted, "At leastI'm legitimate at the time to do something stupid unless some certaintaichou."
"Are you saying I did something stupid?" Byakuya was glaring.
Oh, look, some emotion at last!
"Well, what do you call a supposedly educated Captain jumping into conclusions based only on his sense of sight?"
"It's called instinct."
If Byakuya was trying to be funny, he was failing miserably. And if he were not trying to be funny, he was so missing the point. Meanwhile, Rukia was becoming annoyed about how the word "stupid" was being used over and over again.
"What are we going to do with that other gigai?" Rukia asked no one in particular but was looking at the gigai that was still "sleeping" on Ichigo's bed.
"Definitely not leaving it with you." Byakuya looking at Rukia but was talking about Ichigo.
What's with all the people talking to someone but looking at something else?
"Nobody told you to leave it with me!" Ichigo blasted, "I mean, what the hell, you're going to destroy it!"
"No, I'm going to have it tested."
"Tested!" Ichigo was giving Byakuya a 'i-don't-get-it-but-i-don't-like-it' look, "What for?"
"To find out if you tried to impregnate the gigai."
Jinta's mouth fell open. Ururu fainted and Rukia's face turned as white as paper. Just for that moment, Ichigo banned the word "patience" from his vocabulary.
To hell with maintaining sanity and order.
After all, it had been quite a time since they last used kikanshinki to replace memories.
- End of Chapter 2 -
Author: I had fun writing this one. Kikanshinki is that thing Rukia used to replace Ichigo's family's, Inoue's and Tatsuki's memories. And kenseikan are the white things on Byakuya's hair. It symbolized noble status. I had to look those up in Wikipedia. Hopez ye00 likezsh~! Ban-KAI!

Resumée: Greg Kroah-Hartman on the Linux Driver Project
For over a year now, the Linux Driver Project (LDP) has offered free development of hardware drivers. Novell gave its employee and the project initiator Greg Kroah-Hartman a sabbatical for driver programming; Kroah-Hartmann recently published a status report.
In posts on his blog site and the LDP mailing list, Hartman emphasizes that there is very little hardware that Linux does not support. Drivers for most new devices are either developed by the manufacturers or in cooperation with the community.
The two areas causing the most difficulty right now are WLAN cards and video input devices. The latter category includes devices for digitizing video material, and TV cards. However, efforts are being made to solve these issues, and WLAN support in particular made considerable progress last year. For example, the Linux kernel now has a completely new wireless protocol stack. Additionally, many new hardware drivers have been produced; this is definitely a step in the right direction although some devices are still problematic.
An active developer community takes care of video hardware driver development, however, its development model is outside of the kernel; for example, Linuxtv.org still uses the fairly uncommon Mercurial version control software. Another obstacle is caused by disputes between programmers, none of whom works full time on driver development. This makes for slow propagation of the results into the kernel. The LDP developers are currently supporting efforts by actively working on drivers for various video devices; the results will be available for testing parallel to the next kernel releases.
For Kroah-Hartman the project's focus has now shifted to training and educating manufacturers. The primary aim is to help manufacturers during the driver development stage. Last year most effort went into tidying up program code and helping drivers make the transition into the official kernel releases. According to Kroah-Hartmann there is some talk of setting up a marketing department to encourage hardware manufacturers to develop Linux drivers.
The project intends to keep up this two-pronged approach in future. Besides developing missing drivers under the GPLv2, LDP will continue to be a port of call for enterprises seeking to develop hardware drivers for Linux.

After taking a season off, this fall Cee Lo Green was proud to return to NBC's The Voice , which has grown to become something much bigger than he ever anticipated. And the entertainer tells ABC News Radio that he feels the show is not only "enjoyable," it's "monumental."
"It's very gratifying that people love the show," he says. "It's one of the most enjoyable things, the most memorable and monumental things that I've been able to be a part of."
Ironically, Cee Lo was originally advised against participating in The Voice -- advice he's glad he didn't end up taking.
"It's just so interesting the way I was told to not do it, [as though] maybe it wouldn't be a good thing for my career because no one really knew what to expect," he tells ABC News Radio. "On paper, it read to certain people like yet another karaoke show, another television music variety show. But it ended up being something completely unique and innovative and cutting edge, so I'm glad I took the risk -- it's really rewarded me a great deal."
Now that he's back on the show, Cee Lo says he feels as though he's got some momentum that might allow him to actually break fellow coach Blake Shelton 's three-in-a-row winning streak. According to him, he's receiving an outpouring of support from viewers who want him to triumph this season.
"So many people are rooting for me to win, I hear it from everybody, 'It's your year!' You know, even the guy at the gas station, I'm like, 'Give me 50 on [pump] two,' and he's like, 'Here ya go, also, it's your year!' So many people are married to this show, so it's great," he says delightedly.
He adds that having R&B star Miguel by his side as his team's guest mentor this season really helped the artists in rehearsals. Cee Lo explained why he chose the Grammy-winning singer to participate.
"He's very wise, he's up and coming and I think that he's definitely making great strides and being impactful as far as the young generation of rhythm and blues," Cee Lo explains. "And he has a lot of variety in what he aspires to do and what he's accomplished thus far." That, plus he wanted to support his buddy. "He's a friend of mine, so I wanted to give him an opportunity. I think he did a great job for his first time," adds Cee Lo.
Unfortunately, Cee Lo admits that even with momentum on his side, beating Blake is going to be difficult. "You gotta do your math," he tells ABC News Radio. "I think Blake does represent a very large demographic, and apparently they got nothing better to do than to watch this show and vote. So that does give him an advantage." However, says Cee Lo, "I still have a couple of tricks left up my short sleeves!"
The battle rounds on NBC's The Voice resume Monday night.

Weekend of Asian Culture Comes to Downtown Library
Enjoy an Asian Cultural Festival the first weekend in February at the Downtown Library, 300 Park Avenue.
The first event is a free Asian film fest on February 2 from 1pm - 4pm. The three films that will be shown are "Buddha Mind Monastery," "A New Year Ping Wei," and the wild comedy "Kung Fu Hustle." The event continues on February 3 with a Pre-Lunar New Year Celebration from 1:00pm – 5:00pm which will consist of Asian cultural activities such as the Dragon Dance and the Lion Dance among others.
"A lot of people," said Downtown librarian Darlene Browers, "either don't realize how significant the Asian people have been to the growth of Oklahoma City, or if they do know, they take it for granted. We feel that if we're going to celebrate Oklahoma history, we should celebrate all of it."
The series of programs will highlight local Asian cultures and will feature talent from around the state. Information booths will be located on the library's fourth floor, in the 46th Star Room, and performances from Asian communities of Oklahoma will take place there on the stage. The booths will be open from 1:00 to 5:00pm and the performances will be from 2:00 to 3:00pm.
"Anyone with an interest in Asian culture will enjoy what we have lined up for them," Browers continues. "Children will especially get a kick out of the Dragon Dance as performed by the Giac Quang Temple Youth Group, and the Chinese Society's Lion Dance. It's all free and suitable for all ages."
For more information, call the Downtown Library at 231-8650.

Date Climbed: Jun 6, 2009
|After failing to climb Cadillac as a kid (accidentally did Pemetic instead), I was eager to give this one a shot on vacation.
My younger cousin and I got dropped off by Hadlock Pond and proceeded over Bald Peak, Sargent, Penobscot, S. Bubble, Pemetic and Cadillac in beautiful weather, ending on the summit where we got picked up. Took about 7 hours--my cousin slowed down a bit toward the end, but did pretty well for his first real hike.
Now I have to come back to try the Precipice! (it was closed while I was there)
|Posted Jun 23, 2009 11:37 pm
|A fun hike up with lots of options for stringing the various trails together to make a day of it.

|Empty parking lot!
Date Climbed: Apr 10, 2009
|Did a loop...up Dorr via Ladder, down to the gorge, up Cadallic, down to bubble pond, up Pemetic, down to the pond trail to the cannon brook trail...back to the car. AWESOME day...especially the empty parking lot on Cadillac :)

|Busy Summit
Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2008
|Just drove to the top because there were a million people at the trailhead. The summit was just loaded with people. Still, it was a nice view and the drive up and down is fun.

|Drive up
Date Climbed: May 29, 1997
|My last day at the park and decided to drive up to the top due to lack of time. Pretty flat on top and wasn't too crowded.
|Posted Aug 18, 2008 10:01 am
|I heart you, Acadia
Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2008
|Did Otter Cliff, Thunder Hole, Beehive, Champlain Mountain, Huguenot Head, Dorr Mountain and Cadillac Mountain from Blackwoods Campground and back. The march down Cadillac's southern ridge was the highlight of the day. Speechless.

|Up the North Ridge. Fun scramble down into the Gorge and down south before looping around to take the Ladder Trail up Dorr. Great place and thankfully the rain held off until Flanders and I got back to the car. (sorry, that is pronounced "cah")

|What else are you going to do in Acadia?
Date Climbed: May 3, 2008
|Hiked with Brian Jenkins. Went up North Ridge and made a huge loop around and up Door Mountain. Highly recommend going through the Gorge - may add some miles but it was a nice "brook" hike.
Windy up top, but it was dry.

|Perfect view on a perfect day
Date Climbed: Jun 26, 2006
|Hit the summit on a beautiful June day. Most of the days we were there it was cloudy/foggy, but on summit day, it was spectacular, with incredible views of the blue water and blue sky. I'll never forget it.

|North Ridge Descent
Date Climbed: Oct 11, 2007
|Ignoring the tour bus and drive-up peepers, one actually has a wilderness experience in Acadia. The Precipice route is not for everyone, it's exposed and fun. This park has a dozen good hikes that can be linked together. Awesome sunrises on Cadillac and nearby Sargent Mountain.

Incorporating environmental considerations into economic development activities is becoming increasingly widespread contributing to a major expansion of what is known as the green economy. With a long history of work in economic development, job training and environmental planning, regional councils are seeking ways to build their green economies, including training and placing workers in existing and emerging green occupations.
NARC Project
NARC, in partnership with ICF International, Monster Government Solutions, MWH Global and Colorado Energy Group, received a Pathways Out of Poverty grant from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to develop on-the-ground strategies in four regions to train and place workers in green jobs and career pathways. This American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funded project aimed to support "programs that help disadvantaged populations find ways out of poverty and into economic self-sufficiency through employment in energy efficiency and renewable energy industries."
NARC, together with its national and regional partners, provided training, certification and nationally recognized credentials and apprenticeship programs to un- and underemployed individuals in four regions in Arizona, Texas and Ohio, to facilitate their transition into jobs in the weatherization and energy-efficient building sector; renewable energy (solar and wind); environmental remediation; and deconstruction and materials reuse industries. Through this project, the NARC team:
- Evaluated green job opportunities in demonstration regions;
- Recruited potential workers in target groups for training in the green economy;
- Established training programs in specific green trades in tandem with local community colleges that help workers secure portable green jobs credentials;
- Constructed green jobs web portals in each region – to facilitate communication between employees and potential employers; and
- Shared lessons from these demonstration efforts with regions across the country.
For information about the regional project partners, please see:
- Central Arizona Association of Governments (CAAG), Apache Junction, AZ
- Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC), Dayton, OH and East End Community Services, Dayton, OH
- Permian Basin Regional Planning Commission (PBRPC), Midland, TX
- SouthEastern Arizona Governments Organization (SEAGO), Bisbee, AZ

Fogging is an appropriate technique for destroying
an infectious agent such as anthrax spores. Once
they are dead, they can't cause disease.
Mold problems, though, can't be
"fogged away," because the mold
spores are just as irritating dead or alive. While
the dead mold spores cannot initiate new growth,
they must be physically removed or they will remain
inside the building as an irritating component of
the dust. Unless the mold is rinsed or vacuumed
away, it's still there, dead or alive. It
has been my experience that elbow grease trumps
such chemical treatments.

Maki, Allan
Adult Nonfiction GV955.5.A1 M33 2008
Summary: An exciting history of the game, with profiles of its greatest players. At the heart of Football's Greatest Stars are detailed profiles of the 50 greatest players of professional history. They're all here -- the original heroes, the '80s superstars and the future Hall of Famers. Luminaries include: Brett Favre Dan Marino Deacon Jones Dick Butkus Forrest Gregg Fran Tarkenton Jerry Rice Joe Montana Joe Namath Johnny Unitas Lawrence Taylor Peyton Manning Roger Staubach Terry Bradshaw Tom Brady ... and 35 others. Football is followed by more fans than any other sport in the United States. It's also cherished by big businesses, which pay $2.7 million for a 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl. Why is professional football so popular? How did it get that way? Who are the men who carried this storied league to the biggest stage in the United States? Allan Maki assesses the NFL's rise to greatness with three compelling essays on the men, the moments and the circumstances that have created the game that's watched today by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. In addition to the player profiles, 32 franchise profiles chart the league's rise to greatness. Football's Greatest Stars is a superb book for fans, and a compelling history of a great game.

New York City police say a 3-year-old girl has been found with 14 bags of marijuana in her backpack.
Police say an employee of the New LIFE School in Harlem smelled marijuana on the girl at about 1 p.m. Friday.
They say the employee called police, who discovered 14 bags of the drug in the girl's backpack.
Police are questioning the girl and her parents as part of the investigation. It is unclear how the marijuana got in the girl's bag.
A representative for the New LIFE School declined comment.

InfoWorld: Are there open source and commercial versions of F#?
Syme: When you use F# on a Mac or Linux system, you normally use the open source version of F#. When you use it on a Windows system, I think it would be normal to use the Microsoft implementation of F# and the Visual F# tools. You can use the open source version on the Windows system, as far as I know. You can, but that is not normally the way that people use it.
InfoWorld: You mentioned support for F# in Visual Studio. Are there any other tools out there besides Visual Studio that you can use to develop with F#?
Syme: The F# Software Foundation provides tooling for MonoDevelop, which is a cross-platform IDE, and they also provide tools for Emacs, and they have a lot of other tooling, slightly less integrated tooling there for other editing environments.
InfoWorld: How much development has already been done with F#, and can you name any big-name programs or websites that have used it?
Syme: There are many users of F#. For instance, there are 4,000 questions on StackOverflow about F#. Those questions indicate quite a lot of users of the language.
In terms of people using it, we often talk about a system that was done by sort of the Microsoft advertising platform, which was a machine learning system that used F# as the implementation language. This was from the core algorithm to decide which ads to serve in response to a search requests for questions coming in from Bing or the like. And these are really critical core algorithms and very much the kind of programming that we associate with F#, where you might have some core algorithmic code or core data analysis code written in the language.
Then around the outside, it would be deployed in some larger system because one of F#'s main benefits is it has very good interoperability with systems like .Net and C#. You can take F# and integrate it into a larger system. That system was very good. There are case studies on the Microsoft site from Grange Insurance, and there are case studies from a major bank in Europe, which has over 100 people writing their quantitative finance models in F#.
InfoWorld: Would you use F# for a Web program?
Syme: You would use F# for server-side Web programming, absolutely. The Visual F# tools aren't particularly aimed at client-side Web programming, but there are other F# tools provided by third-party companies. I point you to IntelliFactory, who do a tool called WebSharper [for HTML5 Web programming].
InfoWorld: How does Microsoft make money from F#?
Syme: It's fairly well understood that Microsoft invests in languages because we have platforms that have programmability requirements. We invest in F# because that helps make our platforms better, and through our platforms we get revenue.
InfoWorld: Is there anything else that's really critical to the F# game plan that you want to talk about?
Syme: One of the things I'm really excited about with Try F# is not just that people can learn F#, but that they see groundbreaking ideas in how data is integrated into the language in F# 3.0. People these days want to use something that's very polished, where they can play with the ideas and see what a difference it makes to their programming. And these things can disseminate very broadly.
For instance, we did asynchronous programming in F# 2.0, and that has now progressed into C# 5.0. That is just wonderful to see that these ideas are progressing out from the cutting edge high-productivity functional languages into the broader programming industry. To me, as a researcher, that is also just a great success.

In Woody Allen's 1975 Russophile-lit satire Love and Death, Sonja (Diane Keaton) dispenses some of the best love advice ever captured on celluloid.
"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness."
Sure, as that Nazareth song goes, love hurts, scars, wounds and mars. But the payoff that sometimes accompanies ardor, passion and devotion is pretty terrific. So, whether you've already locked down your sweetheart or not, send a sweet or sexy—and did I mention free?—Love Note to your beloved in the Alibi's Valentine's Day issue. Love Notes must be 14 words or less and be submitted by noon on Feb. 5 at alibi.com/lovenotes. Caveats: Don't use your sweetie's last name, but pet names and initials are cool.

Y'all are probably all aware of and experiencing the early stages of news fatigue over the Roswell school shooting, but it seems callous not to mention it.

Space Needle-adjacent garage and R&B-infused sextet Pickwick's tour hits Burque this week. Pickwick toured in support of household names Black Joe Lewis and Neko Case this past fall, but the soulful alt.rock six-piece gets top billing on this tour. The band self-released their debut full-length, Can't Talk Medicine, last March, and the 13 tracks produced—including Richard Swift cover "Lady Luck," which features powerhouse Sharon Van Etten on vox—pay respect to '60s and '70s soul, funk and rock while maintaining an upbeat, you-can-dance-to-it vibe.
I know I've said this before, but you can tell a lot about a band by their web presence, and pickwickmusic.com even lays bare their original lyrics—which are pretty darn impressive.

Clearing Up the Truth on Glenn Beck's Nazi Obsession and Repulsive Anti-Semitism
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
On Wednesday, Glenn Beck and the leadership of Fox News made a mockery of their commitment to me and two rabbis.
Let me take a few steps back to tell you why what happened scares me.
On Tuesday night, many in our community were gathered together, in Brooklyn, in Dayton, in Santa Barbara. Seventy-two years ago, the homes, shops and synagogues of many of our parents, grandparents or great-grandparents were ransacked, broken and burned as Nazi stormtroopers destroyed towns and villages across Germany and Austria. Many historians view Kristallnacht as the beginning of the Final Solution and the Holocaust.
Washington Post journalist Dana Milbank has observed that Fox News host Glenn Beck has a bit of a Nazi fetish. From Obama's inauguration through June 2010, Beck had "202 mentions of Nazis or Nazism, according to transcripts, 147 mentions of Hitler, 193 mentions of fascism or fascist, and another 24 bonus mentions of Joseph Goebbels." This week he spoke again about the Holocaust. But it was not to commemorate Kristallnacht. It was to engage in an insidious form of Holocaust revisionism. His motivation? To score political points against George Soros, a prominent Jewish philanthropist and Holocaust survivor.
As some may know, I was the subject of a personal attack by Glenn Beck in May of this year. Responding to an article I wrote supporting a government role to advance the common good, Beck scolded me, declaring that my words "are what led to the death camps in Germany" and that I "as a Jew, should know better." To discuss this and similar comments, on July 26 I joined rabbis Steve Gutow and David Ellenson, on behalf of 14 prominent leaders of national Jewish organizations, in a meeting with Fox News president Roger Ailes and the producer of Glenn Beck's television show, Joel Cheatwood. We spoke for almost an hour about the concerns held by many Jews about Glenn Beck's constant and often inappropriate invocation of the Holocaust and Nazi Germany on the air.
Ailes and Cheatwood assured us they understood our concerns and would explain them to Beck. Two days later, I received a handwritten note from Beck: "Simon, Joel shared the details of your meeting yesterday. Please know that I understand the sensitivity and sacred nature of this dark chapter in Human History. Thank you for your candor and helpful thoughts."
On Wednesday, Glenn Beck and the leadership of Fox News made a mockery of their professed understanding. In his own words, "George Soros used to go around with this anti-Semite and deliver papers to the Jews and confiscate their property and then ship them off. And George Soros was part of it. He would help confiscate the stuff. It was frightening. Here's a Jewish boy helping send the Jews to the death camps."
No one who truly understands "the sensitivity and sacred nature" of the Holocaust would deliberately and grotesquely mischaracterize the experience of a 13-year-old Jew in Nazi-occupied Hungary whose father hid him with a non-Jewish family to keep him alive. Many other Jews survived the attempted extermination of the Jewish people by changing their identities and hiding with non-Jews. With these falsehoods, Beck has engaged in a form of Holocaust revisionism.
I have had the privilege recently of getting to know George Soros. During our conversations, he made it clear that his experience surviving the Holocaust seared a simple but profound truth in his brain: Jews suffer in nationalist societies and thrive in open societies. When he began his philanthropy, it was driven by this insight. It's why he named his foundation the Open Society Institute. This year alone, he has donated $700 million in an effort to make the world safe for all outsiders, to protect the weak from being preyed on by the powerful. It is what motivated one of his sons to pursue a PhD in Jewish studies, with a focus on modern European Jewish history.
Yet according to Glenn Beck, Soros "is a collaborator" who "saw people into the gas chambers."

When the Blazers make a big play at the Rose Garden, and the building is shaking, I often find my eyes drifting toward the basket on the home-bench end. Allen's seats are on one side of it. I smile when he pumps a fist, or gets on his feet, because in one of those moments I think we all relate deeply to Allen in a way we otherwise cannot. Maybe you haven't always liked Allen or understood him. But as owners go, he's the best in sport. He grants his management autonomy, and plenty of cash. And for fans, he makes you feel as though you're all in it together. The email that circulated internally at Allen's parent company, Vulcan Inc, talked about optimism. It was written by his sister, Jody Allen. The email pointed out that 25 years earlier her brother beat Hodgkins, and he'll continue to work around the offices, and "he has no plans to change his role." I think he should, though. He carried the Blazers for so long. It's time they carry him.
Snyder said Tuesday, speaking at a team-owners summit in Washington, D.C., that he's matured since buying the team. He acknowledged that he's made awful errors. And he said that while he signs the paychecks, Washington is "the fans' team." I'm hoping other owners heard the message, but especially Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen. Because I think the Blazers big boss could learn a little, and should probably take the microphone himself at some point soon and speak to the fans who have carried the organization through some dark and shaky days under Allen's ownership.
I suppose that's the frustration in dealing with an owner such as Allen. Nobody really knows what he's trying to do, or what he thinks, because he rarely speaks and when he does, he goes vanilla and doesn't sound much like anything but a man trying not to say the wrong thing. I'd love Allen to give a Blazers state of the union address. I'd love to hear his thoughts on where the franchise has been under his ownership, and where he thinks this is all headed. I'd like to hear Allen speak to his stakeholders, and do it directly, not through the organization's public-relations machine.
Is this organization his "basketball hobby" as it's been called by some around him? Does Allen want to turn a profit or win a championship? Does he have a plan? And just how involved is Allen in scouting and making personnel decisions? Real answers. Honesty. Not rhetoric. Allen has been silent too long.

We're offering an exclusive stream
of M83's new album,
Hurry Up, We're Dreaming,
out October 18th on
Mute Records. Hazel Cills talked
to M83's Anthony Gonzalez about
epicness, double-albums
and amazing five-year-olds.
So what inspired you to do a double album?
There are plenty of reasons, the first one is that I always have been fascinated with double albums since I was a teenager and I loved big, ambitious records. A good example is The Smashing Pumpkins' double album. I just felt ready to make one myself. I moved one year and a half ago to Los Angeles and I was just ready to make a big double album. It's been a dream of mine since I was a kid. We toured a lot for the previous album, Saturdays=Youth, and being on stage and traveling that much really gave me the confidence I needed to make a double album.
I know Saturdays=Youth was very much about the 80's and being a teenager. Does Hurry Up We're Dreaming also have a theme?
Yes, you will always find teenage themes in my albums. I'm really obsessed with my teenage years and all the albums I used to have and playing them over and over. This one is sort of a tribute to my childhood, to my memories of being a kid. I remember when I first moved to L.A., I was feeling very lonely and a bit lost and I started to remember when I was a kid and it kept me active. It was sort of this mix of nostalgia and melancholy but it was a happy feeling that kept me going.
The album artwork for your "Midnight City" single is pretty freaky! Can you tell me what inspired the album artwork for the "Midnight City" and Hurry Up We're Dreaming?
So the cover of "Midnight City" is kind of a crazy looking alien, a sort of mix of owls and E.T. and science fiction and fantasy movies like The Neverending Story. You know when you're a kid it's just so fascinating to be traveling through this imaginary world in a movie. I always liked that and I wanted to have that feeling with this album. So, we just asked a prop stylist to make it "crazy alien looking" and I think it works really well. I'm really happy with the cover.
I am constantly hearing critics describe "Midnight City" as one of the most "epic" tracks you've ever created. Do you think Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is the most epic album you've created so far?
I feel like my third album was very epic. For me, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is this soundtrack to an imaginary world in this imaginary movie. This is exactly what we tried to do, to make something very eclectic with a lot of different kinds and styles of music. The reason why we did that is because I didn't want like, a boring double album. We improvised and experimented a lot in the studio. It was just fun to work on this album, you know? When you work on a double album, there are no rules! You can do whatever you want and can create whatever you have in mind. What I like about being a musician is that I can take my creativity very, very far and that's what I think I did on this album.
Describe your song-writing and composing process for this album.
It's actually really basic because I always start my songs the same way. It's always like, I sit in front of my keyboards and my synthesizers and I start very simple melodies. Then I just add layers, layers and layers of tracks and other instruments. I'm not a classically trained musician and I learn music by myself pretty much. I would never consider myself a great musician. I feel like I can play a lot of instruments, but not very good. But I feel like my strength is that I have a very good vision of what I want. I know what I want and I know how to create it. This is the reason why I like to be in my studio because it's the perfect environment for me. I feel at home and I feel like I'm surrounded by my babies, all my synthesizers, and it just feels natural.
So how much of your musical equipment, or how many of your babies, did you use for Hurry Up, We're Dreaming? How does that compare to what you play on stage live?
We used a lot of instruments on this album. We used instruments we've never used before, like saxophone and acoustic guitar and flutes, brass and strings. It was a really cool and creative process. It was a way for us to try something different. I have never had an album where I used that many instruments but for this album I said to myself, just enjoy yourself making this album. This album is kind of a gift to myself. I just wanted to enjoy myself and I feel like you can hear that when you listen to this album. My instruments on stage are much more basic. You know, bass, guitar, electric instruments, and synthesizers with some other electronica elements.
I heard that you worked with Brad Laner from Medicine on this album?
Yeah, I was a huge fan of Medicine and my producer, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, used to play in Medicine. He contacted Brad to sing on one of the songs of the album and it was a dream come true. All of a sudden I was playing and singing with my idols from when I was a teenager, Justin and Brad. It was just this unbelievable feeling playing with Justin and when you think about it, I was watching TV when I was 14 and watching Justin play with Beck. It was just so weird, in a good way.
Zola Jesus also makes an appearance on the song "Intro." Are you planning on working with her again in the future?
Totally, I really fell in love with her. She's just such a great artist and I've always been a fan of her work. She has something very unique in her voice. She doesn't sound like anyone else, that's exactly what I like about her. We met in L.A. and, I don't know, I was expecting someone very dark, but she's actually a very bright and funny person. I feel like we share the same vision for music together.
Are there any musical artists that you would love to collaborate with for a song?
There are tons of artists I would love to collaborate with. I'm really shy, so, it would totally never happen but I'd love to work with Brian Eno. He's one of the biggest artists alive. I love Billy Corgan from The Smashing Pumpkins, I'd love to work with Mogwai. If I made a complete list it would be way too long!
And as for the real star of this album, who is the lovely little kid featured on "Raconte-Moi Une Histoire?"
Her name is Zelly and she's Justin's daughter. She's amazing. She was five when she recorded this piece. I will always remember the first time I met Zelly. Justin was coming to work and he had to bring Zelly because he had to watch her. I didn't know this kid, I never met her, and she just came in screaming, "Hey Anthony!!! I'm so glad to meet you finally!!! Justin told me about you!!!" I mean, she was five and so tiny but she started talking to me for like 30 minutes about crazy stuff happening in her life. She was just so bright and I said "Oh my gosh, Justin, we have to use her."
If you could describe M83's sound in one sentence, what would you say?
Oh my god... that's... impossible. It's so hard! Some people like to call it dream-pop, but I don't really like that. I think my music is just the best way to express myself. I feel like if you listen to my music you almost don't need to talk to me to understand me. This is my way of communicating. The best way to describe my music is just saying, "It's me."

One of Australia's most recognisable landmarks - The Sydney Harbour Bridge has now turned 81.
Even the Google doodle has change to a representation of the bridge to mark this auspicious occasion.
On March 19, 1932, controversial NSW Premier Jack Lang opened the bridge, the opening of which was interrupted famously by Francis de Groot riding his horse in full military regalia and using his sabre to slash the ceremonial ribbon for Lang had his chance.
Lang was about to cut the ribbon to formally open the bridge, when de Groot rode forward, drew his ceremonial sword and, reaching down from his mount, flamboyantly slashed the ribbon, declaring the bridge open "in the name of the decent and respectable people of New South Wales."
The bridge carries rail, vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic between the Sydney CBD and the North Shore. It is often lovingly referred to as "The Coat-hanger" because of it's unique design.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge still holds the Guinness World Record for the widest long-span bridge – something we can all be proud of that it holds this record after 80 years of faithful service.
An estimated 469 buildings on the north shore, both private homes and commercial operations, were demolished in order to allow construction to proceed, with little or no compensation being paid.
The standards of industrial safety during construction were poor by today's standards. Sixteen workers died during construction, but surprisingly only two from falling off the bridge. Several more were injured from unsafe working practices undertaken whilst heating and inserting its rivets, and the deafness experienced by many of the workers in later years was blamed on the project.
We all wish our favourite octogenarian a very happy birthday.

EL PASO — Thousands of military members who go overseas to fight in war come back home with post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD, and the consequences can be tragic. A family who lost their loved one during his battle with PTSD is dedicating their lives to helping other military members and their families.
At a young age, Anthony Patrick Mena knew he was going to defend our country. He graduated from Eastwood High School in 2004 and joined the Air Force, based at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque.
"He loved his job. He was very young. He was only 18. It was the month after he had graduated from high school when he took off to basic training," said Pat Mena.
And not long after, he was ready to deploy to Iraq.
"He was really anxious to deploy," said Pat Mena. "That was his big dream to serve his country, to go abroad and I begged him, 'Please hold off. Our country is at war right now' and I remember him telling me. We were sitting right here and he said, 'Momma, someone has to defend our country.'"
He returned home six months later. But, Pat Mena said her son was eager to go back. Just a year later, he deployed for a second time on a special mission to train Iraqi police officers.
When he came home his mother said it was just like old times.
"I noticed him and he looked very happy. He looked fine and I thought, 'Oh, thank god. He adjusted well,'" said Pat Mena.
But a few months later, Tony told his family some devastating news. He had been diagnosed with PTSD.
"He said it was very difficult to deal with the dead bodies because a lot of times they were... the bodies were cut in half or they were headless. You know body parts were missing," said Pat Mena.
After fighting in war, Tony was fighting an emotional battle within himself. Doctors prescribed Tony various medications.
"They put him on antidepressants. They put him on tranquilizers. He started complaining about a pain in his back so they put him on painkillers so he had very strong painkillers that he was taking. And of course he was suffering from insomnia so they had him on three types of sleeping pills," said Pat Mena.
The son that once loved the Air Force, now, wanted a discharge.
Pat said she saw him physically weak, but at one point, it seemed like he was ready to move ahead after military life. He talked about opening his own cigar shop and asked his mom for help.
Days later that would change. Pat and her husband called Tony, like they did every night.
"My husband would always ask him, he'd say, 'Why do I love you so much?' And Tony would always say 'Because I'm your son,'He goes 'you got that right boy' he goes 'i love you. I'll see you tomorrow."
But the 23-year-old would not see tomorrow.
Just hours later, Pat Mena received a frantic call from Tony's girlfriend.
"She was screaming, 'Tony's dead. He's dead.' I remained very calm. I guess your body just goes into shock. But I can remember I said, 'Michelle, calm down. Have you called 911?' She says, 'No, but I know he's dead. He's not breathing. He's not breathing and he's already hard.' I said, 'Call 911.' I just keep hoping maybe there's still hope," said Pat Mena.
That was the day life changed forever for the Mena family.
"I was in shock. It was like... I think it took a long time. I cried a little bit but I had just seen my son. It was like he was still there," said Pat Mena.
The medical examiner ruled Tony's death an accidental overdose.
The same medications the doctors prescribed him are the ones that ultimately killed him.
"They told us his system was suppressed. He died with nine medications in his system. There was no alcohol. He did not take anything over the limit," said Pat Mena."After going through his records, he was taking some 30 some, maybe not taking them all at once, but he had been prescribed 30 some different medications."
Now, the Mena family turns their heartache into helping others.
Pat Mena recently wrote a book called, You'll Be Fine Darling which tells Tony's story.
"I wrote this book because I want our troops to know that they're not alone in their suffering and also I want the families to know that there are ways that they can help their loved ones that are suffering from PTSD," said Pat Mena.
She said she has received an outpouring of support.
"They'll thank me for putting the book out there. They'll tell me, 'My husband or my boyfriend, or my daughter, my son are going through the exact same thing that our son is going through,'" said Pat Mena.
Her family has also partnered with the Citizens Commission for Human Rights, to put on the Tony Mena Memorial Race for PTSD Awareness.
The race has become a big success over the past three years and Pat Mena hopes it will continue to grow.
She said she hopes her efforts can make a difference in the treatment of our suffering troops and their families.
"Like with our other troops. They do not need to be medicated. They need someone to listen to them," said Pat Mena.
The Mena family has created a website, www.tonymena.com [2], where people can learn more about Anthony Mena and the book, You'll Be Fine Darling.

Follow-up care after treatment for prostate cancer is important. Even when the cancer seems to have been completely removed or destroyed, the disease sometimes returns because undetected cancer cells remained somewhere in the body after treatment. Your doctor will monitor your recovery and check for recurrence of the cancer. Checkups help ensure that any changes in your health are noted and treated if needed. Checkups may include lab tests, x-rays, biopsies, or other tests. Between scheduled visits, you should contact your doctor if you have any health problems.
Facing Forward Series: Life After Cancer Treatment is an NCI booklet for people who have completed their treatment. It answers questions about follow-up care and other concerns. It has tips for making the best use of medical visits. It also suggests ways to talk with your doctor about creating a plan of action for recovery and future health.
