Supporting new library
I am writing in support of Arlingtons upcoming library bond issue. Libraries are a vital link in the education of our children, and an important part of our communities.
In my first term in the legislature, there was a proposal to close our state library. The outcry from my constituents showed me the extraordinary support that exists for our libraries. This confirmed my belief as to the importance of libraries in our state.
If this bond passes, a large and modern library facility will be located close to schools, within walking distance for many Arlington kids, and convenient for citizens. It is my hope that you will consider this worthy proposal.

Thirteen organochlorine compounds were detected in fat and breast muscle tissues of Canada goose and five species of ducks that were shot by sportsman in New York. Residues of DDE and PCB occurred most frequently and were positively identified along with DDT, heptachlor epoxide, trans-nonachlor, and hexachlorobenzene. Compounds that were detected but not positively confirmed by mass spectrometry were dieldrin, mirex, heptachlor, chlordane, oxychlordane, and endrin. Wood duck (Aix sponsa) and Canada goose (Branta canadensis) had significantly lower levels of DDE and PCB than black duck (Anas rubripes), mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), scaup (Athya sp.), and bufflehead (Bucephala albeola). Birds collected from Long Island and the Hudson River-Lake Champlain corridor carried highest concentrations.

My heart goes to all those wonderful people who are in this difficult and trying time. All my prayers and love go out to all of England, not just to London. I pray for the safety and for this madness to stop. I pray for those who need comfort and shelter may you find it from God.
Nicely worded.
Emma Watson is splendiferous because, she gives off positivity, feminine strength, tons of good vibes and more. She hasn't gone off her rocker and seems to be a brilliantly, well grounded person.

Recently, Attila Kiskó, the author of the best .NET memcached client, the Enyim .NET memcached client, has been enhancing his client library to speak directly to membase data nodes. Membase already supports all existing memcached client libraries and memcached protocols via a high-performance proxy, but there's a "direct path" that client libraries can use for ever-increased performance. Along the way, we ended up with a quick guide on the membase.org wiki on how to create your own native or "smart" membase client lib

I am excited to announce that NorthScale Membase Server 1.6 Beta3 is now available and ready for download. This beta release adds a lot of new functionality and reflects most of what you'll find in the final product. Highlights include:
Let's take a look at these features in a bit more detail: Windows support is by far one of the most frequently requested features, and we are very pleased to offer it with this beta release. Beta3 provides 32-bit Windows support, with 64-bit support on the way (Note: The 32bit binary runs just fine on Windows 64-bit but is subject to the 32-bit memory limits). The Windows version provides the same feature set as our Linux version.
Hey everyone, Things are moving at the speed of light over here and I wanted to take a second to come up for air. We just had our 7th weekly beta webinar and this week I did a demo/preview (albeit quick) of some of the features and functionality coming in our soon-to-be-released beta 3. Check out the recorded webinar for a sneak-preview and then download the real thing when it's available. Thanks for all the feedback and please keep it coming. P.S.
If you are a user of memcached and have deployed instances on Amazon EC2, you may have received a message from Amazon over the weekend (we received one on 8/7/2010) indicating you may have a "Possible Insecure Memcached Configuration." Here's the body of the message we received:
We've sent you this email to let you know that we have observed that you may be running memcached in an insecure configuration. Specifically, we have noticed that you have at least one security group that allows the whole internet to have access to the port most commonly used by memcached (11211).
There has been a lot of recent attention by the security community about the lack of access controls on memcached and recently some exploits have been published. This has highlighted the importance of running with strict access controls. While we are not aware of any unauthorized access to your Amazon EC2 instances, we do believe you should have your technical team look at this immediately.
We suggest that you audit your security group settings and restrict access to only the instances and IP addresses that need access. Most users only authorize other Amazon EC2 instances to access their memcached server. If you need to access your memcached server from outside of Amazon EC2, you can also authorize just trusted addresses to access your security group.
If you need additional assistance, you can reach our Premium Support team by sending email to email@example.com.
The Amazon Web Services Team
Great email and service from the AWS team, and the suggested fix is spot on.
This posting is meant to provide some background on the issue and the alluded to "recent attention" the issue has received. The issue is relevant to all users of memcached, not just those deploying on Amazon EC2.
The vulnerability
The genesis of this bulletin was almost certainly the result of the development of go-derper by the team at sensepost, highlighted at the blackhat USA 2010 conference on July 30, 2010.
The highlighted vulnerability can be summarized as: if you deploy memcached on a server, leave the TCP port on which memcached is configured to listen (11211, by default) exposed to the Internet, leave the memcached ASCII protocol enabled, AND you are not using SASL authentication with the memcached binary protocol, then there is a trivial way for Bad Guys to retrieve and replace most of the contents of your cache. go-derper.rb is a simple Ruby application, built by sensepost, that can be used to exploit the vulnerability.
Eliminating the vulnerability
Let's examine the vulnerability, clause-by-clause, and highlight what can be done to eliminate it, starting at the top:
Memcached security is a hot topic since the sensepost guys released go-derper at blackhat.
The presentation was pretty good and informative, but it seems like the hype around it has left a bunch of people confused. Although much of this was covered in the presentation, it needs to be restated as much as possible.
It seems like just yesterday we posted the bits for Beta 1 for Membase Server, but in fact it was over a month ago and since then we've demo'd Membase at a number of events and have had literally hundreds of conversations with users, customers, partners and anyone else interested in NoSQL solutions. It's been a whirlwind (in a good way!) of activity and I wanted to personally thank everyone who's been involved and provided feedback. Being the beta program manager, I wanted to touch specifically on the last month as it relates to the beta program at large:
Last week was very busy. We at NorthScale had the release of beta 2 of membase followed by membase's presence at a second conference. Though we'd already launched the project, OSCON was a great platform to get into further detail about membase itself, the project behind it, what's in the roadmap and how other folks can get involved.
Another membase milestone was reached today – beta 2 was released and is available for download! Several cool features have been added, including support for datasets whose size exceeds the size of aggregate cluster main memory (i.e. supporting disk > RAM); very sexy, and useful, real-time and historical stat displays; and support for deploying moxi, the membase proxy, on a client-side machine. Looking back over the last three weeks, community reaction to membase has exceeded our collective expectations. We knew we were addressing an unmet need, but it is always a good feeling to hear it confirmed. We've had hundreds of downloads of membase beta 1 over the last three weeks and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive: - "Membase appears to be the reliable, sharding and persistent memcached-alike we've all
been waiting for…" - "Membase is fast! like memcached fast. very low latency under load and good throughput…" - "Oh this is so hot, so very, very, hot…" But while it is nice to hear the good stuff, I tend to prefer hearing about the things people don't like or the things users having trouble with.
Greetings again! This will be a quick one...just wanted to let you know that Membase is coming along swimmingly and we've been getting some great feedback on the beta from users around the world.
The plan is to release a Beta 2 drop in the next few days which will add support for having your disk storage be greater than your available RAM. It will also introduce a standalone, client-side proxy (better for performance).
Lots of great enhancements have gone into membase and memcached recently, and I'm especially excited with the new vbucket capability -- see: http://dustin.github.com/2010/06/29/memcached-vbuckets.html. Say hello to the ability to explicitly migrate and replicate keys/values between servers, without downtime, while still keeping to memcached's uber performance.
And, moxi (the memcached/membase proxy) is keeping pace with the new vbucket improvements. You can find the latest moxi open-source development work happening on the 'vbucket' branch here: http://github.com/northscale/moxi/tree/vbucket.

Planning Your Time
Planning Your Time
The elongated shape of Britain's southwestern peninsula means that you may well spend more time traveling than seeing the sights. The key is to base yourself in one or two places and make day trips to the surrounding region. The cities of Bristol, Exeter, and Plymouth make handy bases from which to explore the region, but they can also swallow up a lot of time, at the expense of smaller, less demanding places. The same is true of the resorts of Torquay, Newquay, and Falmouth, which can get very busy. Choose instead towns and villages such as Wells, Lynmouth, Port Isaac, St. Mawes, and Fowey to soak up local atmosphere. If you stick to just a few towns in Somerset and Devon (Bristol, Wells, and Exeter) you could get a taste of the area in four or five days. If you intend to cover Cornwall, at the end of the peninsula, you'll need at least a week. Allow time for aimless rambling—the best way to explore the moors and the coast—and leave enough free time for doing nothing at all.

Taxi meters not re-calibrated, so it's the old rates for now
5:28 PM by Afzairulzailey · 0 comments
KUALA LUMPUR: The new rates for taxi fares started yesterday — but the 21,000 cabbies in the Klang Valley cannot charge the revised fares until they have re-calibrated their meters.
The changeover for the entire fleet of taxis in the area could take more than two months as there are only six main taxi meter supply centres, said Federal Territory and Selangor taxi operators association president Datuk Aslah Abdullah.
"Only pay what is stated on the meter. If the meter hasn't been adjusted to the new rate, then the customer pays the old rate.
"The only problem is, customers will probably be confused during this adjustment period as some taxis will be charging the old rates, while others charge the new rates," he said when contacted.
The Government announced that from Aug 1, taxi fares would start off with RM3 instead of the previous flag-off rate of RM2, and subsequently increase 10 sen each 115m instead of 150m before.
During traffic jams, the meter would clock 10 sen for every 21 seconds instead of 45 seconds.
Aslah said with the new rates, customers could expect to pay about 30% more in fares.
"If a customer feels the fare is too high, please don't quarrel with the taxi driver. Ask for a receipt and make a complaint. The receipt has details of the taxi number, mileage, fare, as well as the telephone numbers of the taxi company and the Commercial Vehicle and Licensing Board," he said.
He expected a 30% drop in the number of customers in the first few months following the fare increase.
Aslah said taxi drivers are required to send their vehicles to Puspakom to have the meters inspected within a week after re-calibration.
On the first day of the fare increase yesterday, many taxis waited from early morning at the meter re-calibration centres.
Teoh Cheng Lim said he gave up and decided to have his taxi meter re-calibrated another day after waiting for a long time at a centre in Cheras Mahkota.
The re-calibration process takes an average of 30 minutes for each taxi.
Under the previous rate, a taxi ride from Section 16 here to Glenmarie cost RM15 (including the RM2 for the call and 50 sen for toll).
The return ride from Glenmarie to Section 16, using a taxi with a re-calibrated meter, cost RM21.30 (excluding RM2 for the call).
However, the driver used a longer route on the return trip and there was a jam, which partly explained the more than 30% difference in fare to the same destination.
Taxi drivers to KLIA tend to charge either a flat rate, or the meter fare inclusive of RM12 surcharge and the toll rates.
Most taxies in the Klang Valley have converted to natural gas vehicles and pay 68 sen per litre for gas.

Anyone for a Mad Tea Party?
Seriously, I'm so up for a Mad Tea Party right now. ACTUALLY, any kind of tea party, I just wish we had fancy cups (I actually have some really fancy china AT HOME that I inherited from my grandma. I'm going to have to bring that to Bergen once I get a new place and invite everyone for tea and some kind of pastry) and we could wear dresses and high heels and cross our legs all ladylike and sip tea and talk about the economy or, you know, Star Trek and sexy people.
That would be all kinds of awesome! :D But Celery, why not do it now? Your place is small, but so was Rosenbergsgaten and we managed to fit quite a few people in there when we tried! :P In any case I'm looking forward to ladylike talk about Star Trek and sexy people whilst drinking tea and eating your "some kind of pastry". :)

I went to the print shop, scanned all my relatively decent WTNV stuff, had a series of minor heart attacks as the print shop lady went through my sketchbook, unexpectedly survived and here you go.
I really like drawing things from this fandom; especially the minor characters. Will try my hand at Carlos soon (he keeps escaping me, the sneaky bugger) and probably some environments too.
Also this post turned out gigantic. Sorry about that.
While I do love arabic!dana, I like this version too :)

Hello everybody,
Long time ago we bought the rights of 1/35 share of a large amount of ground located in Bacong. The last change of the Original Certificate of title was in 1941. The owner at that time is already dead, and also her 7 childs (heirs). Now that lot has many owners, but nobody of them has a cadastral record of it. We bought the rights from my wife her mother. We did it by notary document, this is OK, but the layer told us it will be better to put my wife her name in the Original Certificate of Title. How can we do this? Do we need a lawyer again or can we do it by ourself? Which office will handle this?

Grady, 50, of Grand Chute, told U.S. Magistrate Judge James Sickel he planned to plead guilty, but Sickel ignored the statement and scheduled Grady for an April 19 preliminary hearing.Grady told his lawyer, public defender Tom Phillip, he was fired for interrupting Sickel, prompting a woman from the back of the courtroom to call out, "Shut up, Frankie.""My sister told me to shut up," Grady said to Phillip.Phillip later explained Grady couldn't fire him, that he was appointed by the court and therefore could only be removed from the case by court order.Wearing an orange Outagamie County Jail jumpsuit and a neck brace, Grady asked Sickel to transfer him to the Brown County Jail because he said Outagamie County doesn't have the medical staff to deal with what he claimed was a broken neck.

About Me
I was born and raised in the Richmond area & have had a passion for music as long as I can remember. It picked up around 14 years ago when I learned classical flute, which I played through middle school, high School, and college - I studied Flute at VCU and graduated in 2011 with a BA in Music.
I wrote my first song in the summer of 2010, and it has been my favorite creative outlet ever since. I sing & (try to) play guitar and ukulele, among other things.
My current (and preferred) musical endeavors have included being involved with the musical community at my church, as well as the local Folk music circuit. I was in Richmond-based folk band Son of the Sea for 3 years and still do various gigs around Richmond, performing both solo and with friends.
In 2012 I decided to compile & record a bunch of songs I had written, which can be listened to & purchased as an EP on my Bandcamp page.
I can often be found drinking copious amounts of coffee in one of Richmond's great coffee shops, thinking about knitting, or biking through the fan with a big smile on my face (I love my beautiful city.)

Updated: April 27, 2013 7:21PM
White Sox starter Gavin Floyd left the game suddenly in the third inning Saturday after getting two outs and throwing one strike to Tampa Bay Rays batter Evan Longoria.
Floyd's injury is a right elbow flexor muscle strain, officials said. The right hander had elbow problems last year as well and spent time on the disabled list.
Floyd trailed 2-0 after a first-inning, two-run home run by Ben Zobrist. He got out of a jam in the second when the Rays put two men on base with a single and walk.
Floyd summoned catcher Tyler Flowers to the mound after throwing one pitch to Longoria, then manager Robin Ventura and trainer Herm Schneider also came out. Floyd left having thrown 47 pitches.

The cement production line (cement plant) is a cement equipment production line composed by a series of equipment. This production line mainly consists of the process of crushing and prehomogenization, raw materials homogenizing, preheating decomposition, cement clinker firing and cement grinding packaging.
The main cement equipment includes cement rotary kiln, cyclone preheater and grate type cooler.
The cement rotary is the main equipment for burning cement clinker, which has been widely used in the cement, metallurgy, chemical industry, etc. This equipment is made up of cylinder, belt wheel supporting device, block transmission device, flexible kiln head, sealing device, burning device components and other parts with the advantages of simple structure, reliable working, easy control, etc.
The cyclone preheater is suitable for various types of kilns. On the basis of transforming and digesting the main equipment of cement clinker imported from Japan, the experts in our company have developed the five-level suspension preheater with productivity of 500 tons. The preheater can be widely used for the building and reforming of all kinds of large, medium or small cement plant equipment.
The grate type cooler is a kind of shock chilling cooling machine. The working principle of the cooler is the air blower blowing cold wind to cool the clinker spread on the deck board, which can make the temperature of the clinker decrease from 1200℃ to 100℃.
1. Crushing and prehomogenization
(1) During the process of producing the cement, the majority of materials need to be crushed, such as the limestone, clay, iron ore and coal, etc., and the limestone is the most commonly used raw material, with large particle size and high hardness after crushing. Therefore, the crushing of limestone cement plays an important role in the crushing of mechanically broken materials.
(2) Prehomogenization is by applying scientific material piling to realize the preliminary homogenizing of raw materials and to make the materials stockyard have the combined function of storage and homogenizing during the process of storing and feeding in raw materials.
2. Preparation of raw material
During the process of the cement production, the cement making machine needs 3 tons of grinding materials at least (including all kinds of raw materials, fuel, clinker, mixture, plaster) to produce 1 tons of silicate. According to the statistics, the dry method to produce cement needs to consume the energy more than 60% that of the whole factory, with the raw materials grinding more than 30%, the coal grinding about 3%, the cement grinding about 40%. Therefore, reasonable choice of grinding equipment and process, the optimization of process parameters, correct operation and the controlling of operation system are significant to improve the quality and reduce the energy consumption.
3. Homogenization
During the new type cement production process, the stability of raw material component is a premise for firing system. The homogenization system plays an important role in the stability of putting the raw material into the pit at the last line.
4. Preheating and decomposition
The preheating and parts of decomposition of raw materials are completed by the preheater, which can mix the gas in the kiln completely, add the touching area, quicken the heat transfer and improve the efficiency of heat exchange to increase the productivity ratio and reduce the energy consumption.
5. Firing the cement clinker
After the preheating and decomposition in the preheater of the raw materials, the next process is to fire the clinker in the rotary kiln.
6. Cement grinding
The cement machine is the last and the most power-consuming process.

A Portland man, who court documents state has HIV, is facing charges of sex abuse against a young girl known to him.
Portland police arrested Jason Dunn on Monday on charges of sex abuse, sodomy, unlawful sexual penetration and reckless endangerment of a child. He was arraigned in a Portland courtroom on Tuesday.
The charge of reckless endangerment of a child is related to Dunn's HIV status, the fact that he knew he was HIV positive and that he potentially exposed the young girl to the disease.
Dunn's former roommate told FOX 12 that he's stunned by the allegations. The two shared an apartment in North Portland for about a year. During that time, his former roommate said he never saw any signs of sexual abuse.
"Sad to say that this happened to a little girl," said Arthur, who did not want FOX 12 to use his last name. "It's wrong. I hope he gets what's coming to him."
According to court documents obtained by FOX 12, Dunn's sister contacted authorities after she noticed a number of disturbing things about Dunn over the past few months.
Detectives interviewed the young victim, documents stated. But Dunn denied the allegations.
"When all this occurred, he was trying to basically say that he wasn't guilty," Arthur said. "But he was thinking in his heart and his mind that maybe he did it and maybe he wanted to come clean. I don't know what the guy was thinking."
Dunn would sometimes talk negatively about women, Arthur said.
Court documents state that Dunn contracted HIV after getting involved with intravenous drug use at the age of 17.
Dunn was included in a photo essay called The Julie Project. It followed the life of his partner, Julie Baird, for 18 years and focused on drug addiction and AIDS. After Baird died of AIDS in Alaska in 2010, Dunn moved to Portland. He is the father of her three children.
FOX 12 attempted to contact the creator of The Julie Project, but did not hear back.
Dunn's next court hearing is scheduled for April 10.

Valentine's Day 2011 - February 14 - could have added heart-warming significance in New Zealand this year with talk that filming of the much anticipated Hobbit movies is likely to begin that day.
Fans are welcoming the claim by Wellywood insiders that cameras will start rolling on the two films on 14 February - though there seems to be some debate about location.
Matamata locals says they're watching for signs that might indicate filming has begun at the famous Hobbiton site just outside the Waikato town, and the local newspaper reports that the "pitter patter of hairy feet is getting louder with filming starting next month."
But rumours that filming will begin in Wellington have been strengthened by Sir Ian McKellen, who is reprising his Lord of the Rings role as Gandalf, and has posted a comment on his website saying he is happy to say he starts filming in Wellington on February 21, 2011.
Film publicist Melissa Booth has confirmed filming will start next month, but where and when is yet to be announced.
Hobbiton on watch
Matamata-Piako locals say they are watching for the shutdown of the district's Hobbiton movie set tours which will be a definite sign that filming is under way on the long-awaited prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Hobbiton Movie Set & Farm Tours manager Russell Alexander has remained tight-lipped.
"I've got meetings coming up but I'm bound by confidentiality and I can't talk, and I can't say what I do know," Alexander said.
Matamata-Piako Mayor Hugh Vercoe says the town is "looking absolutely fabulous" and is ready to welcome the film crews with open arms.
He says the long-term economic benefits for the district outweighed the immediate economic impact of production.
Unlike the set built for the Lord of the Rings films which was dismantled following filming, the one rebuilt for The Hobbit will remain permanently, providing a future drawcard for fans once filming is completed.
Hobbit cast due
While an exact date had not been set for filming, Melissa Booth says a significant number of the actors are due to start arriving in Wellington in the next two weeks.
The official announcement that McKellen would play Gandalf in The Hobbit was made only last week.
Other returning cast members have also been announced, with Elijah Wood to play Frodo, Andy Serkis cast as Gollum, Cate Blanchett as Galadrial, and Orlando Bloom as Legolas. Martin Freeman, of The Office, will play Bilbo Baggins.
Elijah Wood says he can't wait to be reunited with his co-stars and claims it will be "like going back in time".
While Wood is looking forward to filming with his former cast mates, he says it's unlikely that they will re-seal their bond by getting inked with tattoos as they did while making the Lord of the Rings.
"This time around, I don't think so," says 29-year-old Wood, whose torso bears the Elvish word for 'nine', a reference to the number of members of the Fellowship. "But you never know."
Wellington locations
It is unclear whether The Hobbit will provide new locations for Wellington tourist operators to add to their Lord of the Rings site tours.
A Wellington City Council spokesman said no resource consent applications, or requests to use public land, had been received from Jackson's team.
"It sounds like a lot of it will be done in the studios," Richard McLean said.
One area that definitely won't be used is the site of the former Kingdom Come set near Wellington Prison, according to a spokesman for Sir Peter Jackson.
Dunedin doubles
In Dunedin yesterday (17.1.2011) about 100 people lined up outside the city's Edgar Centre to attend a casting call for non-speaking doubles for actors in The Hobbit.
All had to adhere to a number of guidelines - they had to be aged 17 to 55, be between 128cm and 158cm if male, and between 128 and 153cm if female.
The hopefuls had all signed secrecy agreements and were tight-lipped about which actors would need scale doubles.
The Hobbit films are being co-produced by New Line Cinema, Warner Bros and MGM, and scheduled for release in December 2012 (part one) and December 2013.

The New York Islanders acquired defenceman James Wisniewski from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for a conditional third round pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
Wisniewski, 26, finished second among Ducks blue-liners in scoring and seventh on the team with a career-high 30 points (three goals, 27 assists) in 69 games last season.
"We see James as a key addition to our team and we feel our fans will connect with his style of play," said Islanders General Manager Garth Snow. "He is a solid puck-moving defenseman who can bring an added element of toughness to our blue-line."
The Canton, Michigan native has split his pro career between the Chicago Blackhawks and Anaheim Ducks, playing in a total of 254 games. He has totaled 97 points (17 goals, 80 assists) with 264 penalty minutes.

Hello everyone. I am working on a Unity application that will create procedurally generated planets. The way I'm planning to do it is to create 6 planes (or a cube), apply Perlin's noise heightmap to them (plus some soil and hydraulic erosion algorithms) and then map my new cube to a sphere - http://mathproofs.blogspot.com/2005/07/mapping-cube-to-sphere.html .
The problem is - I believe cannot simply use Unity's heightmap tool to apply my heightmaps, since it only works with surfaces that are facing up. Could someone more experienced with Unity help me out with this one? Is it possible to apply my heightmaps to all 6 faces of the cube?
asked Oct 06, 2012 at 05:03 PM
On the unity site in the resourse section there is a resource for procedural generation (or sone such wording). look into the CrumpleMesh script. Doesn't involve terrain at all but might be worth your time.
Oct 06, 2012 at 10:43 PM ScottW
Thanks mate, I believe you've pushed me in the right direction. There's a script called HeightmapGenerator that perhaps could be repurposed to apply heightmaps to all sides of a cube. I think I'm gonna re-write it in c# and see if I can modify it for my needs.
Oct 06, 2012 at 11:40 PM barker_s

Texture2D.GetPixel is a neat little function that will grab the pixel value of an image (i.e. height value).
This is what you need:
answered Oct 27, 2012 at 02:58 PM
Thanks for the answer, although it's not really the thing I had a problem with ;) . Actually, I don't even store the heightmap in the file format. I keep it as a two-dimensional array, run some erosion algorithms on it and then feed it to the heightmap generation script.
The problem I do have at the moment is cube spherization. I have created six planes, applied some heightmaps to them, arranged them in a cube and tried applying the math that's been explained in the link I have posted above. Unfortunately, I get some weird transformations (or none at all). I'll have to test it a little bit more, but if you could point me to working script that does the same thing, that would help me a lot.
PS: here's a great paper that's helped me with my work if somebody's interested - http://web.mit.edu/cesium/Public/terrain.pdf

Toulouse maintain home dominance with Clermont win
Toulouse's French centre Yann David (R) and French flanker Yannick Nyanga (L) vies for the ball with Clermont's French center Wesley Fofana on January 5, 2014 at the Ernest Wallon Stadium in Toulouse
A mouth-watering match-up between the most successful team in French rugby history and the current consensus best in the business promised much, particularly during an intriguing first period, but ultimately failed to live up to expectations as it petered out into a turgid second half.
The win, though, was crucial for Toulouse as they moved up to fourth in the table with a ninth home win out of nine this season, offsetting their appalling away form that has seen them lose every one of seven trips.
Such was their struggles to breach Toulouse's impregnable defence that Clermont seemed to settle for a losing bonus point that took them three-points clear of second-placed Stade Francais.
It was a disappointing end to what promised so much in a blistering opening.
With a clever hitch-step, wing Yoann Huget found a gap down the side of a ruck, on the inside of cumbersome lock Julien Pierre, before flipping the ball inside to Maxime Medard to go over next to the posts on 12 minutes for the only try of the match.
Although Huget's pass bounced a couple of yards in front of where he'd let go of the ball, before Medard picked it up and went over, the video referee applied the new rules, allowing the score to stand as Huget's hand movement had been in a backward direction when he released the ball.
That try, converted by fly-half Jean-Marc Doussain, was sandwiched by two penalties from visiting No.10 Brock James, giving the hosts a 7-6 lead.
It was a brutally entertaining contest with maximum commitment from all sides, emphasised by a huge, crunching tackle by former All Black Benson Stanley on Huget.
The closest Clermont came to a try was in the 28th minute as centre Wesley Fofana made a break in the Toulouse 22, only to be hauled down a metre short by centre Clement Poitrenaud when a pop pass to his outside would surely have yielded a try for Stanley.
Jean-Marc Doussain extended Toulouse's lead six minutes from the break with a penalty but a huge kick from Australian James from wide out left that just dipped over the bar brought the gap back to a single point.
Then a 50-metre break from another former All Black Hosea Gear eventually led to a penalty for the hosts a minute before half-time, with Doussain kicking a second penalty.
Toulouse extended their lead at the start of the second half after a period of sustained pressure inside Clermont's 22 as Doussain found time and space to knock over a drop-goal.
Shortly afterwards, James came up just short with another long-range penalty.
Gear did go over in the left corner on 52 minutes after Yann David had looped around the back of a posse of forwards but the score was chalked off for blocking by the Toulouse pack.
Toulouse were managing to keep Clermont pinned deep down in their own territory and the league leaders hardly had a sniff of an attacking opportunity as Dussain added another penalty.
But six minutes from time New Zealander Mike Delaney, on as a replacement for James, kicked a penalty to earn Clermont a bonus point.
Stade Francais maintained second place with an 18-6 win at hapless basement-sitters Biarritz on Saturday.
European champions Toulon dropped to fifth as a last-gasp converted interception try from Fiji wing Alipate Ratini gave Grenoble a shock 22-21 victory at the Stade Mayol.
Champions Castres are up to third after a 15-9 win over Bordeaux-Begles on Friday while Oyonnax moved out of the relegation zone by beating inconsistent Racing-Metro 6-0 Saturday.
Perpignan ended a five-match losing streak with a 20-8 success over Bayonne, who dropped below Oyonnax.

|Rookie first-round pick Malcolm Jenkins is part of a revamped secondary for the Saints.
As part of NFL Network's 32 teams in 32 days series, airing daily on Total Access, NFL.com takes a look at a key question facing each NFL team.
NFL Network analysts Brian Billick and Solomon Wilcots discuss the defense of the New Orleans Saints. Did the Saints add enough pieces during the offseason to make themselves a legitimate playoff contender in 2009?
Read their takes and then enter the discussion below.
Billick: Better enough?
That's a question we really won't know the answer to until we get into the season, obviously. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was a huge addition for the Saints.
More than just the talent the Saints have accumulated, though, it's going to take a change in their overall mindset to find balance and to not rely solely on that explosive offense. That means coach Sean Payton and his play calling, that means Drew Brees, the entire team.
In addition to the defensive additions, the Saints will also get some young players back from injuries that I think should make a difference. So many players -- Scott Fujita, Randall Gay, Brian Young, Sedrick Ellis, Mike McKenzie -- missed time last season.
There's no question, to me, that the Saints will be better on defense. But the key is, will they be better enough?
Wilcots: Playmakers needed
The Saints have thrown enough at the defense this offseason.
Along the defensive line, they have solid backups in Paul Spicer and Bobby McCray behind Charles Grant and Will Smith. They got Sedrick Ellis on the inside last year. They should be so much better.
In the secondary, they got veteran safety Darren Sharper, a guy who can make plays on the ball. They really needed playmakers back there. They drafted Malcolm Jenkins a year after taking Tracy Porter in the second round. They should be so much better there, too. It was really the back end of the defense where they lacked playmakers, and they should have those now.
No doubt Gregg Williams factors in. You're talking about blitzing up front and picking off passes in the back. They will be aggressive, that much I do know.

According to the article, H.R. 3946 would help protect the Great Lakes by requiring the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide the U.S. Congress with recommendations on how to address the problem of high levels of phosphorus in the water system.
Though several states have previously instated similar bans with success, many feel that a national phosphorus limit is necessary, the story stated.
Stupak said: "Healthy Great Lakes ecosystems are vital to the economic and cultural well-being of the state of Michigan. As too many nutrients, including phosphorus, are dumped into our waters, the Great Lakes suffer harmful effects such as algae blooms. This legislation ensures a comprehensive plan to address high levels of phosphorus and protect our Great Lakes for generations to come."
The proposed bill would amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to limit cleaning products from containing more than 0.5 percent phosphorus, the story noted.
When too much phosphorus enters the waterways, it causes excessive growth of algae, which, in turn, robs the water of the oxygen aquatic life needs to survive, the story added.

Our world is filled with so many mysteries, such as unexplainable sculptures, doubtful ancient civilizations and artifacts as well as debatable scientific discoveries and theories. Quite similarly, the Internet is riddled with many mysteries, perhaps one of the most popular ones being YouTube's 301 views.
YouTube 301 Views Explained
It doesn't matter if you have a small YouTube channel or a highly popular one. Once one of your videos gets an influx of views in a short amount of time, there's a high chance that the video's counter will freeze at 301 views. Why exactly does this happen?
Brady Haran, the brain behind Numberphile, got to the bottom of it and sought Ted Hamilton, YouTube's product manager for analytics, to obtain a sensible explanation to this phenomenon last year. According to Hamilton, the basic reason why the view counter freezes at 301 views is because YouTube is trying to verify where all the sudden views came from—it's trying to figure out if the views are real or not.
That might sound silly, but it's basically a way for YouTube to maintain its integrity. After all, with so many companies offering services to make videos viral in the shortest possible time, the authorities have to implement some steel-fist rules to prohibit users and videos from going berserk all at once.
If you think the above explanation is still quite perplexing, here's an easier way to understand the process:
- You upload a video.
- YouTube counts all views, regardless of where it came from or how long the video was watched.
- Once your views get over the 300 mark, YouTube starts verifying the views' authenticity.
- During the verification process, the view count is delayed and, consequently, frozen at 301 views.
- After the views are verified by YouTube, the counter displays the real view count.
YouTube's Answer to Frozen View Counters
The thing is, not everyone knows the reason behind YouTube 301 views—even the WebVideoCrew team remains baffled by YouTube's algorithm and verification rules. With so many people arguing back and forth about the view counter and the discrepancy between it and the likes, dislikes, and comments, YouTube just has to do something.
Now the important question comes: what did YouTube do?
Well, it changed 301 views to 301+ views. We know. That solution, if we can even call it that, is just as silly as the original, but what can we do? At least now, people know that the views are actually more than 301 and that YouTube's trying to do something about it. Although, we have to say, YouTube probably needs to get a new development team to make something better than this.
What do you think? Is the fix for YouTube 301 views a good one or not? Share your thoughts with us on the comment section below!

|Sarah Kay and Phil Kaye, "An Origin Story" (via ugh)
So many people today are living in "survival" mode. They have a mentality that says, "If I can just make it through…" or "If I can just get by…" Of course, there are some seasons that are more difficult than others. Sometimes it's challenging to get a vision for the future. But if you are constantly living with a survival mentality, you are missing out on God's best. Scripture doesn't say, "Jesus came so you could survive." No, it says that He came to give you a full, abundant life!
If you are living in survival mode right now, I believe that today can be your turning point. If you'll take a step of faith and begin to declare, "My days of survival are over; my days of thriving have begun," then I believe God will meet your faith. I believe He will open an unexpected door. He'll pour out His favor and blessing on you. He'll make a way where there seems to be no way! Even if you're in a tough time right now, remember tough times don't last, but the Word of the Lord stands forever. Begin to declare what God says about your circumstances because you are created for more than to just get by — you are created to thrive!
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love. <3
Okay okay, I know what you're thinking… "You love being single, really?!" Lol, well I can actually say that that answer is yes! And this time I mean it ;) Now let me tell you why.
I have been single for 19 years yet I never really appreciated this state. When I was younger I always thought that love would come for me later on in life, so that made the "wait" easier and I focused on me. I then began to form a relationship with God and it was better than I expected. I became a great student, sister, daughter, and servant of God. That was all I felt I needed to do for the time being. THEN, one day "later" came. Needless to say I was dumbfounded when "Mr. Right" didn't jump out of no where and sweep me off of my feet and take me off into the sunset. Yeah… what actually happened was… nothing. Imagine my surprise.
I realized that once again I was trying to control what happens in my life, instead of leaving it into the more than capable hands of my Father.
Because of my expectations I was let down, and then wanted to blame God for something that He never promised me.
Now, He wants us to be happy, don't get me wrong. But I think that we have to reevaluate our definition of happiness. I used to equate being in a relationship with happiness. I did this even while knowing that many relationships failed. If being in a relationship meant always being happy, then no one would ever break up.
I was reading Esther this morning and I came across something that was meant for me. Robert Farrar Capon is an author who comments that we place unrealistically high expectations on sex, romance, and marriage. The higher our expectations, the more important these things become to us.
This is not to say that we shouldn't have standards, but if we expect perfect happiness and fulfillment from an earthly relationship, what happens when we don't get that relationship? Or what happens when it is taken away from you? How will you deal with that?
I never thought about a relationship like that before. I especially didn't when I decided that I was going to have a year of purposeful singleness. My year is supposed to end in October, but I know that I didn't give God my all in this. So, I am going to start over. If any of you are doing this let me know and we can encourage each other. If you are already in a relationship, but still want encouragement to focus on God during this time feel free to join in on the chat.
I want to ask you all: Has a relationship ever fulfilled you to the point that you didn't want anything more? How do you keep God relevant in your relationship? What are ways you keep from being discontent while you are single?
I'm here :)
Tumblr family,
I am soo happy to see you all again! I have missed you! I just moved into college last week and started a new job and things have been Cray-Z. But all is well.
So excited to share what God is doing in this new season of my life. Tune in to find out about the triumphs and major fails. Tis should be interesting.
One thing I shall say before I go… God never fails. What you drastically need and secretly want He knows and He strives to give you the desires of your heart. Draw near to Him and seek to do His will. There are so many times in a day where I have completely forgotten about What Would Jesus Do… say or think… As a Christian it is detrimental that you stay up on your Bible and devotional readings so that you are clothed and protected with the armor of God.
Have faith my dears, it is key.
God bless friends,
Alycia Chantelle <3

JOHNS CREEK, Georgia (AP) - U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy endured a painful right wrist injury to card an even-par 70 on Thursday after an ill-advised swing in the opening round of the PGA Championship.
McIlroy played on after his mishap at the third hole, but in obvious pain. He had the wrist checked out by a physical therapist and taped up, after deciding that it wouldn't get any worse.
"It was just like a sharp pain up the forearm, and then there's a little bit of swelling, just on the inside of my wrist," the 22-year-old Northern Irishman said. "And then it was going up into my elbow and my shoulder."
It hurt every time he struck the ball, but he played out 15 more holes and finished seven strokes behind first-round leader Steve Stricker.
McIlroy went for an MRI scan, which showed he had a strained tendon in his wrist, according to a statement put out by his management company.
"He will obviously rest it tonight," the statement said, "and see how it feels in the morning on the range."
Considering the circumstances, he couldn't have asked for much more - other than having back a couple of short missed putts that kept him from breaking into the red.
"To be honest, considering I finished with one hand, I hit some good shots," McIlroy said. "It was always there in my mind. So to shoot even par, it was a good effort."
After tapping out for par at the 18th hole, McIlroy used his left hand to congratulate others in his group with a back-handed handshake, his right arm dangling by his side.
Assuming there's no major damage, he'll be back Friday for the second round - soreness and all.
"It's the last major of the year," he said. "I've got, what, six or seven months to the Masters. So I might as well try and play through the pain and get it over and done with."
McIlroy got into trouble when he drove it among the trees left of the third fairway, the ball stopping against a large, thick root sticking above the ground. Instead of just punching back into the clearing, McIlroy chose to go aggressively at the flag with a 7-iron.
As soon as he struck the ball, he let the club fall out of his hands. Not long enough. He began to shake his arm and flex the wrist. Within minutes, he asked for an ice compress, which he held on his wrist between shots.
In hindsight, the shot was not a good decision - especially since he failed to escape the trees with his risky shot and wound up taking bogey anyway.
"It was dangerous," McIlroy conceded. "I think the tree was maybe a foot in front of the ball, and (I) thought if I could make contact with the ball and just let the club go, I might get away with it. ... It would have been better to chip out sideways. I still made 5."
At the par-3 fourth, McIlroy again dropped the club after striking his tee shot. He still managed to get on the green and two-putt for par. Then, at the fifth, PGA Tour therapist Jeff Hendra came out on the course to examine the wrist, causing a brief delay for McIlroy's threesome.
"There's a couple of points where I thought about not continuing," McIlroy said.
Hendra bent the wrist back sharply several times, trying to determine if McIlroy had caused any serious damage. The player was satisfied with what he heard and rejoined his group: British Open champion Darren Clarke and Masters winner Charl Schwartzel.
"It's just going through impact, it hurts a little bit," McIlroy said.
With Tiger Woods battling injuries, personal woes and an erratic game, McIlroy has emerged as potentially the game's next big star. He contended at three majors before breaking through in a big way at the U.S. Open, carving up Congressional with a record 16-under score and blowing away the field by eight strokes.
He has no intent of giving up on a shot at his second major championship unless he absolutely must.
"If it's the same (Friday) and I know that I'm not going to do anymore damage to it, I'll play," McIlroy said. "It's a very important tournament, and I'm still even par. I'm still in the hunt."
