Looks great.
Looks great.
I hope it breaks all the rules.
This looks great.
I missed Sorkin. I just hope this is West Wing Seasons 1-3 Sorkin and not West Wing Season 4 + Studio 60 Sorkin. Because West Wing Seasons 1-3 Sorkin was amazing. At the very least, this looks like the perfect vehicle for Sorkin's style.
Hot. Shit.
Also, Studio 60 was great.

Studio 60 was completely out of Sorkin's wheelhouse. He didn't know how comedy worked. This is more like it. Until Olivia Munn ruins it.

Thank you
finally an extension which implements (just) this important! feature
Great tool, cannot go back to B&W output window.
Makes the output much more readable, easy to spot unnoticed errors and warnings written to the console
Great job. Works nicely for me in VS2013. Doesn't use the colours I set for Find Results, but I'm fine with the default blue so it's not so bad.
This is a great add-on, but would it be possible for the colors to be customizable for those of us who use a dark theme for VS?
Thanks Mike - I no longer need to swear at Microsoft each time I run a build for not having this functionality in visual studio by default.
Awesome, super useful, tool that's FREE.
Simple and functional! Real eyesaver.
Great plugin for Visual Studio. I do have a small issue: once I saved the content of the output to a text file, by pressing CTRL+S, the output is no longer colorized. The only way to restore the colors is to reopen Visual Studio.
Raises an exception in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010:
useful :)
Nice, but not optimal for VS2012 in Dark mode... "VSColorOutput Find Results Search Term" Color-preset is being ignored, making the search result pretty unreadable in dark setting.
Great plugin! I wonder why Visual Studio developers don't implement such things at very beginning. :)
Probably my favorite and first-loaded extension on a dev. machine!!

In a dramatic conclusion and new beginning, Theatrical Outfit pays off mortgage
Theatrical Outfit, the Atlanta troupe that marked its 35th anniversary last year, recently held a note-burning ceremony to celebrate paying off the mortgage on its home since 2004, the Balzer Theatre at Herren's.
Retiring the $1.2 million mortgage makes Theatrical Outfit one of the few metro Atlanta professional theaters to own its own home. Artistic director Tom Key called it a "testament of perseverance."
The historic downtown storefront was the home to Herren's Restaurant from 1934 until 1987. Herren's was the first white linen restaurant in Atlanta to voluntarily desegregate. The first African-American couple to dine there, Dr. Lee and Delores Shelton, are Theatrical Outfit season subscribers.
The theater company renovated it with energy efficiency in mind, and it became the first LEED-certified theater in the U.S.
"This brings a nearly 10-year journey to an end and begins a new journey with enormous promise," Key said.
Freed of that particular financial pressure, the company expects to better focus on its mission of telling "stories that stir the soul." HOWARD POUSNER
Georgia Shakespeare exceeds $1 million goal
Georgia Shakespeare met its goal of raising $950,000 by the end of January in its Viva Georgia Shakespeare Campaign that launched last summer. In fact, fueled by a final-week surge in giving by nearly 100 individual donors and substantial gifts by the Turner Voices program of Turner Broadcasting and actress Jennifer Garner (a former intern for the troupe), it exceeded the goal by raising $970,575.
The goal-meeting triggered a $50,000 Harland Charitable Foundation challenge grant, raising the campaign's total to $1,020,575.
"We still have much progress to make, but hitting our goal was a huge step forward in restoring ourselves to a strong, vibrant company that is sustainable over the long haul," co-founder and producing artistic director Richard Garner said in a statement.
Late last year, the company announced that it would present a limited number of productions in 2013 while it reworks its operating model. Specifics of that new approach are expected to be announced in late March. HOWARD POUSNER
New director at MODA
The Museum of Design Atlanta has announced that Laura Flusche, formerly the Midtown museum's associate director, has succeeded Brenda Galina as executive director. Galina, who resigned as 2012 ended, led MODA for five years. Under her watch, the institution moved in 2011 from a hard-to-access Peachtree Center location to a slick, high-profile space across Peachtree Street from the High Museum of Art. HOWARD POUSNER

Rav Mon E virusAlso called W32/Rjump, this virus is known to open a back door on a computer that runs Microsoft Windows, then create a copy of itself in the Windows system directory of a computer. Italso creates a log file that includes the port number on which the back door component listens. The Rav Mon E virus enables hackers to gain access to the computer's programs and files once it has become infected. If you are using an anti-software program that is is up-to-date the RavMon E virus can usually be detected before it does any damage. This virus is most commonly spread through e-mail attachments, although it can also be spread through portable devices such as multimedia players and digital cameras.
Apple reported that in October of 2006 many of its video iPods had been shipped out with the RavMon E virus already installed on them.

Lady Antebellum has released a new webisode for their fans almost every week since they first hit the country scene in 2007 with "Love Don't Live Here Anymore." The group recently posted their 300th webisode, so they celebrated the milestone by giving away 800 cake pops to everyone who came by to see them at the CMA Music Festival's Fan Fair X over the weekend.
Band member Dave Haywood says, "That's a lot of calories."
As for their webisode series, Lady A's Hillary Scott adds, "We've had a video camera following us around from the very beginning back to when we were behind the camera, and now having a really amazing professional, [ Adam Boatman ], putting it all together."
Look for highlights from Lady Antebellum's CMA Music Festival experience in an upcoming installment of their Lady A TV webisodes.

Customer Reviews
Love the packaging for longterm storage.
have not had a chance to shoot it yet
At the time of ordering it was a decent price for 62 grain ammo. Can is marked from 2012, so this isn't really old surplus ammo. Shot great in my Sporter and in my friends ACR.
Great buy on good ammo... packaged real nice for long term storage... tracked shipment all the way and it was delivered on time... would buy more but you've run out of this item. Guess I was lucky to get it when I did...
Haven't shot any yet...need a week at the farm.
Haven't shot any rounds yet but looks like amazing ammo and packed up wonderfully. Pretty good priced as well considering the scarcity of ammo today. Remember Obama and his cronies are to blame for this...Use your ballot box wisely...

Over the course of writing this column, I've come across some pretty sensational vocalists, and I had the chance to pick many of their brains about the most important aspects of being a professional singer. I've also observed many of the biggest voices in music, and the way that their voices have developed and changed over time. Getting up and singing for an audience, whether you're a professional singer or just someone who loves to sing, is not easy. So, here is a list of some of the advice I've encountered while writing Vocal Points that may help the aspiring singers out there:
- Everyone can sing. This is probably the most important piece of advice I've encountered because so often we feel that only certain people are blessed with a beautiful voice. As vocal therapist Mark Baxter said in his OurStage interview, "Singing came before speech. Humans are instinctively wired to send and receive melodic passages of emotional statements." So if you love to sing, don't let anyone else stand in your way.
Nobody is perfect. Its important to remember that our favorite vocalists got to be so good because of hard work and practice. As Kevin Devine explained to me, "I think I've embraced my limitations as a singer and tried to re-frame them as strengths. "

A theme is a collection of files that defines the look and feel of a site. The Developer Services portal is initially defined with a default theme, which you can customize. This allows you to select your preferences for the look and feel of your portal. More specifically, you can change the color of links, backgrounds, text, and other theme elements. You can also change the welcome message that appears on the front page of your developer portal.
You can customize the theme through the developer portal UI, or by creating a custom theme file that overrides the default theme file.
Depending on your version of the developer portal, you will have several themes to choose from:
Apigee Responsive theme
Based on Bootstrap 3, the default theme for later releases of the portal. This theme supports devices with widths from 768 pixels to 1400 pixels. All Bootstrap 3 features are available in this theme.
Note: To use the Apigee Responsive theme, ensure that the Bootstrap 7.x-3.0 theme is enabled.
Apigee DevConnect theme
The default portal theme previous to the Apigee Responsive theme.
Existing portals can be upgraded to the new Apigee Responsive theme but must first ensure that all blocks, templates, and other content is compatible with Bootstrap 3, and that the Bootstrap 7.x-3.0 theme is enabled.
Apigee Base theme
A parent theme to the Apigee DevConnect theme and not intended to be used on its own.
To set the default theme:
- Log in to your portal as a user with admin or content creation privileges.
- Select Appearance in the Drupal administration menu. The list of enabled themes appears.
- For the theme that you want to use as the default, select Set default.
To use the Apigee Responsive theme, ensure that the Bootstrap 7.x-3.0 theme is enabled on that page as well.
- Save the configuration.
Customizing the Apigee Responsive theme
This section describes how to configure the Apigee Responsive theme, including:
- Customizing modal forms
- Customizing general settings
To customize modal form support:
The portal uses the Drupal Bootstrap Modal forms sandbox module to display Drupal forms as modals. The login and register forms by default function as modals. You can disable this functionality to have those forms appear as individual pages instead.
- Log in to the developer portal as a user with admin privileges.
- Select Configuration > User interface > Boostrap Modal forms in the Drupal administration menu.
- Enable or disable modal support for forms.
- Select Save configuration.
To customize the general settings of the Apigee Responsive theme:
- Log in to your portal as a user with admin or content creation privileges.
- Select Appearance in the Drupal administration menu. The list of enabled themes appears.
- In the Apigee Responsive (default theme) area of the page, select Settings (do not select the Settings button at the top of the page).
- The settings page for the Apigee Responsive theme appears.
- The following table describes the areas on that page that you can use to configure the theme. If you change any of these settings, select Save configuration.
Area Section Description
Bootstrap settings
Control the display of breadcrumbs, the position of the main menu (called the Navbar in the settings), and the display of region wells:
- Breadcrumbs: Hide/show breadcrumb, turn on/off the Home link inside the breadcrumb.
- Navbar: Change the position of the Navbar (main menu) to fixed/static/normal positions, making the layout more dynamic.
- Region wells: Add a well class to any region on the site to add a darker background to the region.
Control the display of anchors, popovers, and tooltips:
- Anchors: Fix anchor positions, and enable smooth scrolling.
- Popovers: Popovers add small overlays of content to any element. Enable/disable popovers and configure how popovers are used.
- Tooltips: Configure how tooltips are used. You can force each tooltip to display on the right, left, top, or bottom of each form element, and set other display options.
Controls how the portal uses BootstrapCDN to update the Bootstrap theme files. You can disable the reliance of the portal on BootstrapCDN, but you then must provide your own implementation of the Bootstrap framework.
DevConnect Settings
Set the welcome message, the default colors, and the size of the logo that appears in the main menu.
Override Global Settings
Toggle display
Enable and disable the display of different areas of the portal.
Logo image settings
Specifies the image displayed in the main menu.
Shortcut icon settings
Specifies the image displayed in the address bar of a browser or for a bookmark to the portal.
Customizing the Apigee DevConnect theme
The Apigee DevConnect theme is the default portal theme for older releases of the portal, and can be upgraded to the new Apigee Responsive theme. However, you must first ensure that all blocks, templates, and other content is compatible with Bootstrap 3 before performing the upgrade.
To customize the general settings of the Apigee DevConnect theme:
- Log in to your portal as a user with admin or content creation privileges.
- Select Appearance > Apigee DevConnect theme > Settings in the Drupal administration menu. This displays the initial settings for the theme. Color settings are specified as hexadecimal values.
- Change the settings to suit your preference.
For example, add or change the welcome message or change the header background color. The header background color is initially set to something close to orange (#FF4300). You can change it to another color such as blue (#0000FF).
- When you are done changing the settings, click Save.
Customizing a theme using a theme file
A Drupal theme file is named <theme_file>.tpl.php, where all theme files have the extension .tpl.php. To override an existing theme file, create a copy of the existing theme file with the same name, modify the copy, and write it to the correct directory.
For example, you want to override the default theme file named example-theme-file.tpl.php that is stored in the directory sites/all/custom/modules/example_module in the codebase. To override this file:
- Create a new file named example-theme-file.tpl.php, typically by copying the existing file.
- Edit your copy of example-theme-file.tpl.php to override existing settings and to add your own.
- Save your new example-theme-file.tpl.php file to sites/all/custom/themes/<default_theme_directory>/templates/example-theme-file.tpl.php in the codebase.
Drupal scans your default themes directory for all TPL files, and then associate the TPL files with declarations in the module file. To get Drupal to register a new theme file, clear your theme registry, or clear all of the site's caches.

"For me, MATLAB is the best tool for rapid quantitative analysis. I can analyze large data sets, visualize results, and automate the process once I've validated it. Building a complete execution analysis system from scratch in Java™ or a similar language would take months longer."
Shelly Shi, Liquidnet
Institutional equity traders typically perform transactions involving tens of thousands of shares. Many of the trades they execute on the open market drive the price of the equity up or down, causing them to pay more for an equity that they are buying or to receive less for one that they are selling. To reduce the market impact of large trades, these investors turn to alternative trading systems such as Liquidnet, in which trades are executed anonymously.
To ensure the best executions and provide in-depth analytical tools for their clients, Liquidnet developed Execution Analyzer, a post-trade analysis tool that compares the order execution price with the market trend at a short time scale. They dramatically reduced development time by using MATLAB®.
"We wanted to provide this analytical tool in our system, and we didn't want development to take months," says Shelly Shi, quantitative analyst at Liquidnet. "MATLAB and its companion toolboxes offer ready-made database access and data analysis capabilities, so it was the fastest way to develop a complete solution for evaluating transactions performed on Liquidnet."
The performance of order execution is traditionally measured against various benchmarks in macro time scale, including open, close, and volume-weighted average price (VWAP). However, in the fast-moving equity market, many traders want to know how their trades, especially those trades of larger size executed in dark pool, perform in micro time scale.
To measure the execution performance, Liquidnet must analyze every transaction by comparing the execution price of the equity with price trends preceding and following the transaction and then calculate a quantified measure. In the past, Liquidnet used Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheets to perform this analysis. The manual process was done on an ad hoc basis on individual data sets, and it often required hours to evaluate a single order.
"In our old process, we would write a SQL query, copy the results into a spreadsheet, and process them manually," says Shi. "Checking even a few trades would take a full day, so it was challenging to analyze all the transactions executed daily. We needed to automate the process, but it wasn't possible with spreadsheets."
Liquidnet used MATLAB and companion toolboxes to develop Execution Analyzer, an automated system that measures the execution performance in micro time scale.
Shi and her colleagues imported Liquidnet execution data and market data from an Oracle® database into MATLAB using Database Toolbox™.
Using MATLAB and Curve Fitting Toolbox™, Shi modeled historical market data for each equity involved in a Liquidnet transaction. She then developed algorithms in MATLAB to compare execution prices with price trends and derive a quantified measure that represents the performance of the individual execution. This measure is also statistically meaningful, so it can be used in statistical analyses later on.
She used Statistics Toolbox™ to perform a variety of statistical analyses on transactions in different groups. The analyses were used to further improve Liquidnet's trading algorithms.
To help users visualize performance, Execution Analyzer generates graphs using MATLAB plotting tools.

text: Caleb Gindl's first major league home run won't be forgotten anytime soon. The Rookie left fielder knocked it out to give the Milwaukee Brewers a dramatic, 1-0, 13th inning walk off victory over the Miami Marlins at Miller Park. The win completed a three game sweep in which the Brewers did not allow the Marlins to cross the plate all weekend. Miami has been held scoreless for 37 innings, going back to the final game before the All-Star break, the longest drought since the Houston Astros failed to score in 42 innings back in 1985. Kyle Lohse and then Yovani Gallardo delivered strong performances in the first two games of the series, on Sunday, it was Wily Peralta's turn. He pitched 8 shutout ininngs, allowing only two hits. John Axford pitched two scoreless innings to earn the win in relief. Milwaukee (41-56) will host the San Diego Padres Monday with Tom Gorzelany on the hill. Pre-game coverage begins at 6;35 PM on WTAQ.

Mike Harrowell, Senior Resources Analyst at BBY, explains why the prospects for palladium remain positive despite geopolitical concerns surrounding its largest producer, Russia.» Read More
*Australia, Hong Kong, London closed for Easter. NEW YORK/ SINGAPORE, April 21- Gold prices fell to a nearly three-week low in thin trade on Monday, as sharp outflows from the world's biggest bullion-backed exchange-traded fund and no further escalation of geopolitical tensions prompted selling.
Gold has given back a week's worth of trades in one day, reports CNBC's Jackie DeAngelis. Some gold traders say now is the time to buy.
*Separatist unrest spreads in Ukraine, boosting gold. NEW YORK/ LONDON, April 14- Gold rose to a three-week high on Monday as renewed concerns over the escalation of hostilities in Ukraine prompted investors to add positions in bullion as a hedge, while supply fears lifted palladium prices to a fresh 2-1/ 2 year peak.
MOSCOW, April 7- Norilsk Nickel, the world's top nickel and palladium producer, reported a 64 percent drop in its net profit on Monday, hit by write-offs due to weaker metals prices.
LONDON, March 24- The palladium-backed exchange-traded fund due to be launched in Johannesburg by Absa Capital on Thursday has already amassed 8,600 ounces of metal to back its shares, Absa's head of exchange-traded products said on Monday.
*Gold down half a pct, physical market slow. SINGAPORE, March 24- Gold fell half a percent on Monday after posting last week its biggest weekly drop since November on the prospect of a U.S. interest rate hike in early 2015 that has boosted the dollar and dented the metal's appeal as a hedge against inflation. Gold eased $7.14 an ounce to $1,326.80 by 0320 GMT,.
*Launch of two palladium ETFs in South Africa lifts metal. LONDON, March 21- The price of autocatalyst metal palladium hit its highest since August 2011 on Friday as a miners' strike in South Africa ground on and concerns grew that the standoff between major producer Russia and the West over Ukraine could escalate.

[PREVIOUS STORY: 71-year-old zip-tied, robbed]
The break in happened July 5 at home on Southside Drive. The victim said she was home alone when she heard her someone breaking in.
"I scream, I scream very loud," said the victim. "They run upstairs."
The woman said the men put a gun to her head, zip tied her hands and ankles. The bruise is still visible on her wrist. The woman said the men were in her home for two hours. They eventually took off with several items, including money and jewelry.
With her hands and ankles tied while she sat on her bed. She waited to make sure they were gone.
"I get up, get up and sit in the chair," said the woman.
Every night, she said she has an apple before she goes to bed and uses a knife in her dresser to slice it. Well, the knife came in handy that night.
"And I take the knife and cut that thing off," said the woman. "So, I can walk and go down."
She ran across the street to a neighbor who called police. The woman said she didn't have her glasses on so, didn't really know what the robbers looked like. But, one left behind some evidence. Police say he took a bottle of water from her refrigerator and then left it behind.
A fingerprint on that bottle pointed to Michael Decker, 23. Decker was arrested on Friday and police said he admitted to the crime. He also told police Nathon Kelso, 23, and another man, Rakeem Bentley, 22, were his accomplices.
Kelso was arrested on Saturday and Bentley is still at large.
"I feel so happy so they don't do this to a lot of people no more," said the woman.
As the victim's broken door sits outside her home, she said she came from Vietnam 25 years ago for a better life and has never had any problems. Now, she fears for her safety.
Police are actively looking for Bentley. The victim said she believes she was targeted because her family has a nail salon business and the suspects may have thought that she had a lot of cash at home.

Atari Reviving Baldur's Gate, Other FranchisesPublisher Atari is planning to resurrect several of its beloved franchises, including Baldur's Gate, Dungeons & Dragons and Test Drive--just not in the next year.
"You will hear more from these but not today, because we're focused on 2009," said Phil Harrison, president of Atari owner Infogrames, according to Eurogamer.
PC entries in the Baldur's Gate series have been traditionally developed by BioWare, which is now owned by rival publisher EA. The last Baldur's Gate release on PC, the Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal expansion, arrived in 2001. BioWare is currently plotting its returning to the realm of PC fantasy-RPGs with next year's Dragon Age.
The Baldur's Gate series has also hit consoles, beginning with PlayStation 2 in 2001 and followed by an Xbox and GameCube release in 2002. All three were developed by Snowblind Studios. Black Isle then helmed a 2004 sequel for PS2 and Xbox.
As for Test Drive, the racing series has laid dormant since Test Drive Unlimited, which hit Xbox 360 in 2006 and then hit PC, PlayStation 2 and PSP in 2007. The PC and 360 editions were developed by Eden Games, with Melbourne House handling the others.

Opera in one act and a prologue, to a libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, by Richard Strauss Performed in German
A wealthy sponsor wants to entertain his guests with a special event on the occasion of an art museum opening. The opera »Ariadne auf Naxos«, which was written by a young composer for the occasion, will be premiered in the newly opened museum for contemporary art. In order to make the high-brow work palatable for the public, a comedy troupe has also been invited to provide cheer by presenting the comedy »Zerbinetta and her four lovers«. The music teacher protests in vain against the presentation of a common street show and fireworks display directly following the premiere of his student´s serious work. The situation comes to a climax when the Major Domo tells the arriving artist troupes that the patron has arranged for the simultaneous performance of both works. The opera personnel is shocked. Only Zerbinetta and the dancing master immediately see the chance to use their improvisations to outshine the opera and win the public over to their side. The unhappy composer must face the question of whether he wants to see his work presented in Fragments or not premiered at all. To the anger of Harlequin, Zerbinetta takes on the young genius and allows him »to see everything through other eyes« for a moment. Yet as it becomes clear to the composer how his opera will be played out, his protests come too late. The performance has already begun.
The opera takes place on a deserted island where Ariadne, abandoned by Theseus, surrenders to her emotional agony. Dryade, Najade and Echo are unable to console her. Ariadne wants to die. The comedians are also powerless. Their cheerful songs cannot pull Ariadne out of her sorrow. Then Zerbinetta decides to talk with Ariadne »woman to woman«. The two women, however, are so different that they have nothing in common. Zerbinetta performs her cheerful act with the comedians and flirts with the composer. The scene changes and the nymphs announce the imminent arrival of Bacchus. He has barely escaped from the magician Circe, who seduces men and turns them into pigs, and he is fearful of meeting another dangerous seductress. Ariadne believes that she recognises in Bacchus the messenger of death. Unknowingly they give themselves up to the intoxication of metamorphosis. The young composer had represented the end of his first opera as a transfiguration. Yet his music freezes into resounding forms. Through Zerbinetta has he realized what life really can be.

5 reasons your retirement will turn out fine
Here are some common-sense notions to keep in mind when it seems like the sky is falling on your golden years.
This post comes from David Ning at partner site U.S. News & World Report.
I am tired of reading all the doom and gloom reports explaining how our retirement is in danger. Yes, there may be high inflation in the future and average 401k balances should be much higher. But let's not scare ourselves just yet.
Here are five reasons your retirement will turn out just fine.
1. Your Social Security checks will keep coming. Some younger folks are already starting to write off Social Security as a lost cause. But you can be sure that the government will never allow this retirement aid to go totally bust. While lawmakers may increase the age you can start collecting checks or introduce a more progressive benefit system where high earners get less, Social Security will still be part of almost everybody's retirement. Post continues after video.
2. Many "necessities" are actually luxuries. Almost every household can cut back on something. Products like cell phones, cable TV, a car, or even a big house are all luxuries. If money ever becomes tight, cutting down on some of these expenses could drastically improve your ability to finance a comfortable retirement.
3. You are adaptable. The majority of retirees will learn to adjust to the amount of money they have. Maybe they will clip more coupons, forgo drinks when they eat out, or find other creative ways to stretch their fixed incomes. But you will find a way to make do.
4. There is more to happiness than just spending money. You may feel bad that you have to downsize at the beginning, but soon enough you will adjust to having fewer rooms to clean and maintain and lower property taxes. Consider trying many of the free and low-cost activities in your area that you didn't have time for while working.
5. You still have the ability to save. Your ability to save is the biggest predictor of how comfortable you will be in retirement. Start aggressively saving, and your chances of a comfortable retirement will be much higher. Retirees can also help their saving to last longer by taking on part-time, seasonal, or consulting work.
Your retirement prospects aren't as bad as you think. If you keep saving, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to enjoy a comfortable retirement.

The Joy of Aging for Men and Women
Youth and age, such an extreme contradiction. Yet as the world's population gets older it becomes more and more obvious that the youth side of the equation rules advertising, marketing, film making, manufacturing and just about everything else. With so many facets of life dedicated to the word 'young', it is no wonder we explore every capability within our reach to maintain our youth. We exercise until we drop so that our body can retrieve a shape hasn't had in twenty years. We undergo various medical or surgical procedures to mold, sculpt, tighten, firm and refresh our physical bodies. We color every strand of silver, add hair where it has vanished and remove hair that has appeared. We try every diet and elixir that holds even the most remote possibility for attaining a teenager's physique and energy.
Is this wrong? Absolutely not!
But, as we are doing all of these things we have to acknowledge the fact that life is moving us forward in time and that we have created the word, concept and identification associated with aging. Being old is a relative circumstance; when one is ten years old, someone who is forty seems ancient. Unfortunately we have a tendency to carry that youthful relativity throughout life. When we reach forty, or whatever magic number we have attached to the concept of being old, we identify with that, begin to think and feel old and equate it to uselessness, lack of vitality and our own mortality.
In our concept of 'age' we need to learn to embrace the physical, mental, and spiritual changes that naturally occur in all of us, male or female. We need to approach age with new definitions that don't reflect maintaining adolescence. We need to alter the labels we have created that identify the concept getting older. We need to learn to respect the time we have spent on this earth and the lessons we have learned. We need to accept ourselves and not fear a wrinkle, lost hair or extra pound. We also need to appreciate the physical body as a transitional vehicle for the spirit which is everlasting.
There is no doubt that each and every human will undergo changes. They are perpetual from birth. There is no need to fear or deny them. But, there is a need to understand, welcome and involve ourselves in these transitions. We have worked hard to reach the levels we have attained and the knowledge we have garnered through the experiences of living and we have every right to expect and demand the reward of joy as we age.

Abramson: Fleet, Building Reductions Will Save Taxpayers Millions of Dollars Each Year
Friday May 23, 2003
Mayor Jerry Abramson today announced that significant reductions and changes to Louisville Metro Government's fleet operations will save taxpayers some $6 million in the upcoming budget.
Additionally, Abramson announced during a news conference today that future changes regarding government leases of buildings will save up to $2 million each year.
"The bottom line is that we're continuously looking at ways to do more with less," Abramson said during a news conference in the city government parking lot between 6th and 7th streets Friday morning. "You'll see that in the budget that I propose next week. You will see that in our actions and deeds in the months and years to come." T
he most dramatic initial changes are occurring in the government's fleet management practices, Abramson said. Louisville Metro Government currently has 2,800 vehicles out of some 4,700 pieces of "rolling stock." The largest share of vehicles includes police and passenger cars.
Previously, Abramson said the combined governments purchased 300 to 400 new vehicles each year and sold a similar number that had reached the end of their useful lives. The combined spending ranged between $7 million and $8 million.
Abramson said the budget he is proposing May 29 will eliminate all but a handful of purchases, making do with existing vehicles in the fleet and achieving savings of about $6 million.
Abramson added that excess cars in the fleet – perhaps up to 100 vehicles – will be sold to achieve additional savings. Several other departments – including Public Works, Facilities Management and Youth Detention Services – also are eliminating several cars from their fleets.
In addition, Abramson said Metro Government will be "looking for ways to get more out of each car we buy" by converting some take-home cars to pool cars and by using cars longer. The Fire Department, for example, is converting five take-home vehicles for administrators to pool use. And the Air Pollution Control District will go from seven take-home cars to four pool cars, while eliminating the other three vehicles.
In terms of buildings and leases, Abramson said the bulk of savings will be realized in future budgets. The combined city and county governments owned more than 300 buildings and paid about $2 million a year for lease space in nearly 50 other buildings. Abramson said his administration's strategy is to "significantly reduce the number of buildings we're leasing and ultimately save between $1 million and $2 million annually."
First-year savings will be invested in renovating space in city-owned buildings and to cover the cost of moving departments and people, Abramson said.
Pointing to the Legal Arts Building at Seventh and Market streets, Abramson said the government has been paying $165,000 a year to lease one floor for the Neighborhoods Department, CityCall (now MetroCall) and the Brightside program.
When that lease is up in July, Abramson said the departments will be moving to a now-vacant building already owned by the city, the old Convention and Visitors Bureau office at First and Liberty streets. Also, Abramson said it was recently discovered that MSD had extra space in its administration building. With MSD's agreement, the Solid Waste Management Department is moving into the unused space for free, opening up a floor at the Urban Government Center that can be used as agencies move out of other leased space. "Our plan is to repeat this process of moving our people out of leased buildings and into government-owned buildings," Abramson said. "Ultimately, we may very well find that we own more buildings than we need and decide to sell some of them, which would provide one-time savings that could be used for capital needs in future budget years." ###

Mobile device managment
Tuesday - 9/11/2012, 11:27pm EDT
Today's interview is with the vice president of Strategy for MobileIron, Ojas Rege. MobileIron is one of the leaders in the area of controlling a wide range of mobile devices.
One interesting aspect of MobileIron is its remote wipe capability. Most listeners are familiar with technology that can erase a device, what is unique is that MobileIron can selectively delete files. So, your photos from your child's last birthday party won't get wiped, just the sensitive information that your agency wants protected.
The mobile world is confusing indeed. This past quarter, Apple sold more than Microsoft! September will see a new iPhone. How can federal IT managers cope with all the new devices? Listen to the interview with Ojas Rege and get a new perspective.

Inside Media: David Westin
Guest: David Westin
In March 1997 when David Westin became president of ABC News, TV journalism was entering a time of great changes. Cable networks were proliferating, the Internet was emerging and the dominance of the big three networks was fading. Meanwhile, Cold War America was enjoying an era of peace and prosperity. It appeared that all the important news was behind us.
For the next 13 years until 2010, Westin presided over some of the most important, thrilling and perplexing events in history. His new memoir, "Exit Interview," provides a behind-the-scenes look at his tenure and the major news that marked it.
Before joining the news division, Westin served as president of ABC Television Network Group and president of production for ABC.

Trophy deer for sale: Killing, not hunting
by Mike McFeely
And we wonder why hunting gets a bad name.
A deer farm owner from Vergas, Minn., is trying to sell the opportunity to shoot a captive trophy buck for $9,400, according to a report on WDAY-TV in Fargo.
Mike Summers is advertising on Craigslist, offering 4-year-old buck Tarzan (yes, it has a name) to any "hunter" who wants to kill the fenced-in animal. Summers Game Ranch is about 25 acres. Click here to see the actual Craigslist ad.
Tarzan, the trophy captive buck (note fence in background)
To be clear: There is nothing illegal about what Summers is doing. There are about 500 deer or elk farms in Minnesota and owners can sell the right to shoot the animals on those farms.
To also be clear: I support hunting. I personally am not a deer hunter, but fully back any sportsman who wants to legally and ethically hunt deer with a firearm or a bow-and-arrow (or any other legal, ethical means of harvesting a deer).
But shall we talk ethics, sportsmanship and public relations?
Hunting is already frowned upon in many areas of the country and to have this "hunt" of a fenced-in, captive, named deer get lumped in with actual fair-chase hunting won't help. For that, Summers deserves some scorn.
But for the actual shooting of the animal, that scorn should be reserved for any "hunter" who would take up Summers on his offer. There is a place for fenced-in hunting if the shooter is disabled or otherwise unable to participate in fair-chase hunting. But if some dude from Minneapolis, Chicago or Texas wants to shoot Tarzan strictly to hang the deer's head on his wall ... that is pathetic.
If an able-bodied hunter believes that slaughtering a captive deer is somehow equitable to real hunting, then that person believes that hunting shows hosted by Bubbas on certain outdoors TV channels show real deer hunts.
Come to think of it, chances are pretty good Summers will sell Tarzan to a Bubba with a southern accent who will record the killing and breathlessly pass it off as a trophy deer hunt.

Two East Texas 8th graders met for the first time Tuesday, after one donated a gift that could turn out to be a lifesaver for the other.
There wasn't any glitz and glamour. Just a simple handshake, but behind that handshake is a heart filled with gratitude.
"I'm just really thankful," Byron Jones said.Byron Jones was diagnosed with leukemia in January. Since then, he's had to drop out school and go to Dallas for regular chemo treatments. Byron's classmates and teacher Paige Redmond decided to raise money to help the Jones pay for the medical costs, including hosting a silent auction. "All I was thinking is 'what if that was my kid?' I have to do something to help them," said donation organizer and Van ISD teacher, Paige Redmond. Dylan Sims, who didn't know Byron till today, decided to donate his signed Johnnny Manziel football to that silent auction. Today they got to meet face-to-face at a blood drive for Byron at Van ISD.
"I mean, I liked it, because to actually meet the person that would give up a signed Johnny Manziel football. I mean that's rare," Byron said.
"It's been really fun because I got to meet Byron and come here. And I got to get out of school early," Dylan said."It just gave you chill bumps. It was just like a miracle. They got to see each other and get together and this is the kid that's going to help him out on a daily basis," Redmond said. The football sold in the silent auction for $2,500. That, along with the school's fundraising efforts selling T-shirts and bracelets, enabled them to present the Jones' with a $7,000 check.
Byron also got to see his old teammates for the first time since he left school. "The kids were so excited to see him and the teachers. They even had a prayer out here together. We're just so happy that he could come," Redmond said.
"I liked it. I mean, I'm really ready to come back to school," Byron said.
Hopefully, he will be able to soon.
"I feel good. I feel like I'm starting to get better," Byron said.
The woman who won the signed Johnny Manziel football in the silent auction is planning to use that football in another auction to help the Christian Homes and Family Services organization.

Positive housing data powers Pulte
Will the numbers yield long-term growth for the homebuilder?
By Gordon Wilcox, Benzinga Staff Writer
Shares of PulteGroup (PHM) surged nearly 6% Wednesday after positive housing data extended a now lengthy bullish run for the homebuilding sector at large. Maybe the housing bottom has finally arrived.
At least a case can be made for getting closer to that bottom and the ensuing rebound following Wednesday's bullish data. Applications for new home loans jumped 23.1% from the prior week, according to the MBA Mortgage Applications Survey. On top of that, the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo housing market index soared four points to 25 in January, easily topping the reading of 22 economists expected.
That's the fourth straight increase, and it's good enough to be lighting a fire under shares of Pulte and its rivals. Not surprisingly, the past year has been a rough one for Pulte, with shares down 5.5% from a year earlier.
The following video discusses why homebuilders are gaining ground.
Post continues below.
The stock hit that level Wednesday before closing at $7.94. Looking at the chart, if $8 proves to be any resistance for Pulte, it would be more of the round number variety, not material resistance. Actually, the stock has a clear runway to challenge its 52-week high of more than $8.60.
The Risks: Pulte sports a forward P/E of 35.71, which is more than triple that of Apple (AAPL). Granted, that's obviously not an apples-to-apples comparison. Another risk regarding Pulte, besides valuation, could be that earlier this month, Goldman Sachs cautioned investors regarding the rally in homebuilders. Take that for what it's worth, but it should be noted that most of the marquee homebuilders, Pulte included, have climbed since Goldman's call.
Pulte has operations in approximately 60 markets throughout the country. A couple of years ago, that would have been a nail in the stock's coffin. Today, that type of market exposure could prove to be a good thing, especially when the NAHB tells the market that every region in its January survey saw increases.
Is Pulte overbought? Perhaps, but there are still potential catalysts to drive this stock higher and they may arrive as soon as Thursday. That's when the Commerce Department releases housing starts data for December. On Friday, the National Association of Realtors is set to release existing home sales figures for December.
Those might be the catalysts to permanently boost Pulte above $8.
Traders who believe that Pulte is in for more gains might want to consider the following trades:
- iShares Dow Jones US Home Construction ETF (ITB) from the long side.
- Long the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB).
- Short the Direxion Daily Real Estate Bear 3X Shares (DRV).
Traders who believe that homebuilders will decline may consider alternative positions:
- Long DRV.
- Write covered calls on Pulte and Lennar (LEN).
- Short XHB.

Essential Info
Infectious Behavior
In Infectious Behavior, neurobiologist Paul Patterson examines the involvement of the immune system in autism, schizophrenia, and major depressive disorder. Although genetic approaches to these diseases have garnered the lion's share of publicity and funding, scientists are uncovering evidence of the important avenues of communication between the brain and the immune system and their involvement in mental illness. Patterson focuses on this brain-immune crosstalk, exploring the possibility that it may help us understand the causes of these common but still mysterious diseases. The heart of this engaging book, accessible to nonscientists, concerns the involvement of the immune systems of the pregnant woman and her fetus, and a consideration of maternal infection as a risk factor for schizophrenia and autism. Patterson reports on research that may shed light on today's autism epidemic. He also outlines the risks and benefits of both maternal and postnatal vaccinations.
In the course of his discussion, Patterson offers a short history of immune manipulation in treating mental illness (recounting some frightening but fascinating early experiments) and explains how the immune system influences behavior and how the brain regulates the immune system, looking in particular at stress and depression. He examines the prenatal origins of adult disease and evidence for immune involvement in autism, schizophrenia, and depression. Finally, he describes the promise shown by recent animal experiments that have led to early clinical trials of postnatal and adult treatments for patients with autism and related disorders.
About the Author
Paul H. Patterson, a developmental neurobiologist, is Anne P. and Benjamin R. Biaggini Professor of Biological Sciences at the California Institute of Technology and a Research Professor of Neurological Surgery at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine. He is the coauthor (with Alan Brown) of The Origins of Schizophrenia.
"A chapter is devoted to an evidence-based review of the theory of a connection between vaccinations and autism. For this chapter alone, this book is worth a recommendation. This well-written book is good for anyone interested in behavior, disease, maternal-child health, and public health." , Margaret Henderson, Library Journal
"Neurobiologist Patterson has succeeded in his aim of crafting an accessible, even fascinating, book about one of the hottest topics in mental health." — Brian Bethune, Macleans
"Neurobiologist Paul Patterson, PhD, has produced a remarkably accessible and enjoyable book that intertwines history, case studies and laboratory science It's an engaging and thought-provoking read for nonscientists and scientists alike."—Autism Speaks blog
"For the non-expert, this field can be more intimidating than a box of jumbled Christmas decorations. In Infectious Behavior: Brain-Immune Connections in Autism, Schizophrenia, and Depression, biologist Paul Patterson nimbly untangles the strings of lights." — Virginia Hughes, Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative
"[T]he book is simultaneously accessible to the lay reader and insightful to the reader with more expertise. It flows like a professor who rolls up his sleeves and delivers an engaging talk to his audience without once looking at his slides...[It] is a well written, enjoyable read for any audience." —Brain, Behavior, and Immunity
"Patterson's book is so clear and compelling that it will appeal to clinicians awaiting novel disease models with new opportunities for prevention and cure, family members endlessly pondering the source of their loved one's ailment, and any reader who enjoys medical detective stories. A lucid synthesis of historical and current thinking about "infectious" routes to mental illness."—American Journal of Psychiatry
"Finally someone is looking at the whole picture, not just one pathogen or disease at a time. In his paradigm-shifting book, Paul Patterson explains the dynamic interaction between the immune system, the brain, and development, unveiling an important new understanding of what may underlie many devastating brain disorders. Infectious Behavior opens the door to a whole new way of thinking about the causes and cures for some of the most challenging brain disorders, giving us much cause for hope."
Portia Iversen, cofounder, Cure Autism Now Foundation (CAN), cofounder, Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE), founder, International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR)
"Paul Patterson is attempting to describe a new field of study of which he himself is the leading pioneer. A summation of the field at the present is not currently available, either in other books or in journal articles, and therefore this book will fill an important niche. Patterson's efforts are unique in that they bridge the basic science and clinical world in a way that no other researcher in this field has done. This is a welcome addition to the field and a book that I will clearly want to buy and recommend."
Robert Freedman, Professor and Chair, Department of Psychiatry, University of Colorado
"Neuroscience is one of the most exciting fields in science currently. Within neuroscience, one of the hottest research topics is the link between the immune system and the brain. Paul Patterson provides a lucid and up-to-the-minute account of this field. The research has profound implications for our understanding of disorders such as schizophrenia and autism."
John McGrath, Queensland Brain Institute, University of Queensland

Via Larry Brown Sports:
Jeremy Lin is getting ready to play the New York Knicks for the first time since leaving them during the offseason to sign with the Houston Rockets. Naturally, he's facing plenty of questions from the New York media about his time with the team and his departure. His first game against the Knicks also marks a perfect time to reevaluate the Knicks' decision to let him go, which is looking like a good one so far.
The Knicks are 8-2 and tied for the best record in the league this season. They have Raymond Felton and Jason Kidd as their new point guards, and both are playing pretty well. Lin, on the other hand, is struggling. He's averaging 10 points per game and has scored in single figures five of Houston's last seven games. He hasn't shot over 37.5% from the field in that span.
Houston is 5-7, which isn't too far off from what they were expected to do. But there's little doubt that Lin has been disappointing this season. He even admitted that he has been exposed this season.
"I've been exposed a lot early on in the season and have a lot to work on," Lin said, according to the New York Post. "I'm young. I've started 30-something games my entire career. It's something I have to keep in mind. I've felt better before but it's just a process. We have three days off after (tomorrow) and there's a lot of things I'm going to do for my leg, knee just explosive stuff we'll work on."
Lin makes two good points despite his admission. One, he is a young player who has limited experience. Two, he's still recovering from his knee injury, which he says has cost him explosion this season. Maybe at some point he will start feeling back to full strength and then we will be able to determine how good he is. His shooting was so bad last week that he sat during the overtime against Portland, and he did not play in the fourth quarter of a win over the Bulls on Wednesday. A 33.3 FG% doesn't cut it as a point guard unless you're a spectacular playmaker. He needs to break the slump.
TEAMS: Houston Rockets, New York Knicks
He was exposed long ago it's just the "die hard" Lin fans that wouldn't accept it.

California Attorney General and democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown speaks during a campaign rally at Cafe Coyote on November 1, 2010 in San Diego, California. With one day to go until election day, Jerry Brown is wrapping up his three day campaign trip throughout California in hopes of defeating his republican challenger and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman.
Gov-elect Jerry Brown has posted the application form to apply for an appointment in his new administration right here.
A few observations. The first is that it seems unseemly to ask so many nakedly political questions. Yes, these are political appointments, but shouldn't competence and experience, not loyalty, be the real test?
The second observation: How would any mortal answer a question like No. 31: "Have you ever had any association with any person or group or business venture which could be used, even unfairly, to impugn or question your character and qualifications for the requested appointment?"
"Even unfairly?" Where to begin?
Hey, Jerry, some of us live in Los Angeles. We associate with questionable characters every time we walk out the front door.
