Schiff came across a person with an unusual job one day... the official timekeeper at a horse race track. She then started wondering about other "unusual" jobs that people have, and set out to find those jobs and photograph the people who do them. The result is this book. It's not large, only 152 pages. The format is a set of opposite pages for each job. The description of the job and person is on the left, along with a picture of the job and person on the right. And we're talking some really unusual jobs... How about a condom tester held by a lady who is definitely old enough to be your grandmother? A person who milks venom from snakes. A mortuary beautician who prepares bodies for their "final viewing". Dog walker, bull inseminator, tampon tester... all things that need to be done, but you probably don't really think about (or *want* to think about) the people or skills it takes to do them.
So if you're feeling that your job is horrible and you'd like to do something different, take 15 minutes or so and glance through this book. You'll either come back with some new employment possibilities or figure out that your job isn't so bad after all!
One must be resourcful during this ecomony. Odd Jobs is done with a sense of humor and captured the teenage market by having been selected by a panel of young librarians at the New York Public Library for their Teenage List 2003.
Yes, these are really funny things to read about. The sweetly proud faces tell of the pride of these holders of unusual jobs. I actually visited a packaging operation where ladies were testing condoms on steel "devices" and I was delighted to see a similar job shown in Ms. Schiff's hilarious book.
One reviewer myopically advised school librarians to not buy this book because it was for adults. That's pretty strange advice to this reader who was exposed to the French Impressionists and the wonders of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and other highly "adult" topics when I was a boy. This early appreciation for the unusual things in our world provided me with the freedom to choose from a bigger buffet of options. I used to sample a number of unusual occupations with pride instead of embarrassment. The beauty of Ms. Schiff's book is that it's both really funny and eye-opening at the same time. What could be a better occupation carousel of the unusual for a students wondering what they might want to be in life?
Buy it for your teenagers. It's a perfectly charming and meaty gift for all ages.

Cervical Cancer Screening (PDQ®): Screening - Patient Information [NCI] - What is screening?
Screening is looking for cancer before a person has any symptoms. This can help find cancer at an early stage. When abnormal tissue or cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat. By the time symptoms appear, cancer may have begun to spread.
Scientists are trying to better understand which people are more likely to get certain types of cancer. They also study the things we do and the things around us to see if they cause cancer. This information helps doctors recommend who should be screened for cancer, which screening tests should be used, and how often the tests should be done.

Understanding Cervical Cancer -- Treatment
Every woman should have a regular pelvic exam and Pap test, which tests a cervical cell sample for abnormalities. Together, these procedures detect cervical cancer 95% of the time, often long before the disease produces symptoms. If your Pap test is abnormal, your doctor may test you again. Recently, some doctors have started to test for HPV at the time of Pap smear. If a high-risk type of HPV is found in women with an abnormal Pap test, doctors are more inclined to do a colposcopy (magnified exam...
Read the Understanding Cervical Cancer -- Treatment article > >
It is important to remember that your doctor does not necessarily think you have cancer if he or she suggests a screening test. Screening tests are given when you have no cancer symptoms.
If a screening test result is abnormal, you may need to have more tests done to find out if you have cancer. These are called diagnostic tests.

An interview with Kathleen Reinmuth and Cathy Rock, the subjects of "Inquiring Nuns."
If the story in "New Jersey Drive" seems to drift, it's because the lives of its teenage characters are aimless. They spend their days stealing and joyriding in cars, and then selling, crashing or abandoning them. Their lives have provided them with no other focus, and it is clear that sooner or later most of these kids are going to be in jail, or dead.
That is especially clear to Jason Petty (Sharron Corley), a 15-year-old who seems a little smarter and more prudent than the guys he runs with. He doesn't even particularly care about cars, but his best friend, Midget (Gabriel Casseus), lives for them, and so Jason goes along for the ride. He and his friends are still kids, but dangerous kids - and dangerous most of all to themselves, because what they're doing is stupid, and the cops have them beat on guns and strategy.
The cops in the movie are mostly white, and all of the other characters are black, so the stage is set for racial confrontation.
But Nick Gomez, who wrote and directed the movie, isn't out to make all the cops into monsters and all the thieves into kids who are "really" victims.
Both sides are a little more three-dimensional. He gives us a bad cop named Roscoe (Saul Stein), who takes revenge with an ambush when his own car is stolen, and who is under suspicion of murder during most of the movie. Roscoe and some other cops beat suspects and lay traps for them. On the other hand, the young thieves place lives in danger with their incredibly reckless driving. And you're really kind of asking for it when you steal a squad car.
Gomez is an interesting filmmaker. His first movie, "Laws of Gravity" (1991), was made for about $35,000 and did an uncanny job of portraying a group of twobit white criminals, the kind who steal shampoo from a drugstore and then get into fights over whether they chose the right brand. That movie also went for texture and dialogue instead of plot: It was a study of how stupidity, boredom and the lack of any vision or goal in life can lead to an existence that inexorably attracts trouble. It was essentially the story of how people end up shot dead outside taverns on Saturday night - how it's not an accident, but a fate they were hurtling toward.
With "New Jersey Drive," Gomez has a more adequate budget (and Spike Lee as an executive producer), and he uses black characters instead of white ones, but basically his interest is the same: He wants to look at how an empty lifestyle leads to trouble. If the only choices you can imagine in life are stealing cars or standing around looking at other people driving stolen cars, how long are you gonna stand around? The movie is expert on how cars are stolen (it takes about 10 seconds). It is also expert on how a smart and essentially prudent kid ends up inside a lot of stolen cars and gets into a lot of trouble. Yes, the cops are out to get him - but at one point in the movie, a neighborhood guy he hardly knows tries to shoot him dead because of an argument over nothing. "I just get tired of running," he finally says.
Gomez has a good ear for dialogue (we learn that "bouncing" is leaving), and a good feel for the way life is closing in on Jason, whose mother (Gwen McGee) tries hard to keep him in line but rarely knows where he is. She reasons with him and warns him of the danger he's in, but Jason can't hear her because all of his values are grounded on approval from his peer group.
It's interesting how "New Jersey Drive" doesn't really pull back for a wider view until the very end. Everyone in the movie - kids and cops - seems contained and absorbed by the lifestyles surrounding stolen vehicles. There's not racism in the cop's behavior as much as an us-against-them attitude, as if the cops and the thieves are fighting for control of the same turf. The message, which comes so late in the film it's hardly necessary, is that this is a war with no point, especially since you're going to lose.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

Taken form the official english site
The universe was born in a sea of darkness and chaos. This primal force called itself Legel, and embodied both creation and destruction. Legel's ever churning forces gave birth to a myriad of worlds and creatures both great and small. Many creations were quickly snuffed out by the very force that made them, but there were areas of temporary calm. It was in one such peaceful location that the Goddess Teva and the world of Isya were born.
Fiesta is a free to play 3D MMORPG made my Onson soft and published by Outspark. It features four different jobs that you can choose from to become in the beginning in the game.
Fiesta is spanish and means Party.
Life is but a Fiesta*
For me, Fiesta seems to be a kinda cozy game. I don't know why exactly why I get the feeling of Fiesta being Cozy, but that is the first thought I get when I think of Fiesta. You start off in a small town besides the sea named Roumen. It kinda looks like an old village, nice and quite. You can even sometimes hear the seagulls. It kinda reminds me of my hometown thanks to that, so thats maybe why I think Fiesta is a somewhat cozy game. Now, when you begin the game you get to choose four different jobs. Fighter, Cleric, Archer and Mage. All of them have a special kind of look. This can have a plus side and a minus side, because the only thing you'll be able to decide on your characters is their hairstyle and haircolour. I'm a person who really likes to make my character as personal as possible, so this is one of the things I don't really like with Fiesta. But I guess you can't have everything you beg for~ After choosing you're character you'll get help through the game by a couple of NPC, they will tell you what to do and what to get or kill. You should go through the whole thing completely, you'll get good stuff from it and you'll learn how to control thing a lot better~ One of the things you'll get from the quest you get from NPC's is a skill scroll. It's a "choose your reward"-quest, so don't take the wrong scroll. However, I doubt that you will.When you get really into the game you'll float through it like a river. However, it will sometimes comes moments when you bump into a rock, but you'll get through it when you struggle a little.
I can't really say that it's hard to level in this game, but I can't say it easy to level either, it's rather "balanced" in the early levels. But, I have to say that it kinda becomes harder to level after a while, but it not like "grandtastic" leveling, more like that you'll have to count on spending a little bit of time out in the field killing monsters after finishing your quests. But while I'm trying to get into a higher level while killing monsters out in the fields, I'm actually having fun.
The world of Fiesta is kinda big, you'll have to take a special kind of portals to get to some places. This is good, but can be a pain sometimes. You have to stock up with a good amount of potions when going out side of the town, or else you'll have to run back ALL the way from the beach, to town. You also have to check that you take the right portal so that you don't go into an area you've never been to before. So you'll have to be prepare when going out of town and take several quests at the same time so you don't have to go back and forward all the time.
The gameplay is nice, you won't get bored easly from it and you'll enjoy playing it~
But I have to say, Fiesta is a "taste" game. Some might enjoy it and some won't.
I hope however that you'll have fun playing it~
Jag vill bo i en svamp. Annars får jag kramp! SVAMP!
(I dare you to guess what song. If you can't guess, I'll tell you later on. :3)
I've never really been into 3D games, I've always liked 2D game more. But, that dosen't mean that whenever I see a 3D game(Which is VERY common today.) I'll dismiss it as a bad game, I'll just be a little bit more careful.
About Fiesta's Graphics:
I can't say that Fiesta has "OMGWTFBBQ" grapics, but Fiesta do have pretty good grapics. Just take a look at the loginscreen. You'll see a an adorable pink kitty looking at you, who after that jumps away to chase a small ball. But it will run away because a big dragon will land and start to spit some fire. It moves smoothly and have good colours. Cute and beautiful at the same time~ The animation of everything is good. To be honest, when it comes to judging grapics and such on games, I'm not very good. But if I would give Fiesta a number from one(worst) to ten(best). I would give Fiesta 6 or 7/10. It's good enough to make me satisfied.
The stars tonight are so beautiful~
I love the music in Fiesta, specilly the music that plays when you're going to choose you're character. Du du duuu du~ Du du duuu du~ Sound like something that you play on a ball. I'm impressed of the music I've heard so far, I think the music in Forest of Tides is my absolute favorite. If you ever get to play Fiesta, take your time and listen to the background music.
A small minus though... Fiesta is a game you'll play in window mode, it good because I can do other things while resting in the game. However, when I "put away" fiesta, do something just quick and go back, the music will disappear for a moment. It's just like pushing the stop button while playing some music and you have to go back and listen to the beginning of the song again. However, it maybe will take a while for the music to come back again in Fiesta. It's just like it's playing thorugh the whole song while having no music volume. The music will start again after a while, but it's still kinda annoying that you'll go without music for a while.
But I guess it's worth the wait~
Feels like dancing~!
Now, What to I have to say about the community? When I'm in town, It's actually rather quiet. Not many people talk. It not so quiet that it'll just be nothing, you'll mostly see "shouts" and people talking to their friend in the chat. But the "talking to their friends" part have I not seen so much from. In most mmogs the towns are rather chatty, but Roumen the town you start in and the main town, Is actually rather quiet. And If someone wants you to ask you something, It'll probably become a Whisper, even though you're near them. But I noticed a kinda funny thing with some of the people in Fiesta. I just randomly made a salute emotion in the middle of the forest and suddenly I had about 4 people beside me, one of them also doing a salute emotion. It made me giggle when I saw this. And from what I've seen so far, I'd say that the community is rather nice. They are just a bit quiet. But, you'll definitive hear someone talk.
I doubt that all people are nice and quiet. Every MMO have at least one jerk. But, I haven't met so many people that I've had trouble dealing with. So I'd say that the community is rather good~
But, I've experienced that you'll pretty much get random Friend requests here and there... But maybe you'll get to meet many good people that way~?
I see lots of people...
My thoughts:
I can't say that Fiesta is the greatest game I've ever played, but I can say that Fiesta is a pretty good game and that it is worth a shot. If you choose the class you like and go from there, there is a chance that you'll actually like the game. As I said before, you'll either like the game or you won't like it. It's up to you. For me it's pretty much like this: I play it for awhile, then quit and then after that, pick it up again to enjoy the whole game again.
I forgot to mention that there is a forum for Fiesta on Outsparks site. If you ever get stuck, ask the people on the forum. I'm sure they'll help you~So, if you ever have sometime over, try Fiesta. You'll maybe like it~ Give it a try~
I salute thee

Bio-based production of dicarboxylic acids is an emerging research field with remarkable progress during the last decades. The recently established synthesis of the ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway (EMCP)-derived dicarboxylic acids, mesaconic acid and (2S)-methylsuccinic acid, from the alternative carbon source methanol (Sonntag et al., Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 98:4533–4544, 2014) gave a proof of concept for the sustainable production of hitherto biotechnologically inaccessible monomers. In this study, substantial optimizations of the process by different approaches are presented. Abolishment of mesaconic and (2S)-methylsuccinic acid reuptake from culture supernatant and a productivity increase were achieved by 30-fold decreased sodium ion availability in culture medium. Undesired flux from EMCP into polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) cycle was hindered by the knockout of polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase phaC which was concomitant with 5-fold increased product concentrations. However, frequently occurring suppressors of strain ΔphaC lost their beneficial properties probably due to redirected channeling of acetyl-CoA. Pool sizes of the product precursors were increased by exploiting the presence of two cobalt-dependent mutases in the EMCP: Fine-tuned growth-limiting cobalt concentrations led to 16-fold accumulation of mesaconyl- and (2S)-methylsuccinyl-CoA which in turn resulted in 6-fold increased concentrations of mesaconic and (2S)-methylsuccinic acids, with a combined titer of 0.65 g/l, representing a yield of 0.17 g/g methanol. This work represents an important step toward an industrially relevant production of ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway-derived dicarboxylic acids and the generation of a stable PHB synthesis negative Methylobacterium extorquens strain.

Blogs HNN DO NOT FORGET LIBYA AND SYRIAMay 5, 2011 12:29 pm
The navy seals' successful targeted killing of Osama, especially coming after the tragic bungling of the attempted targeted killing of Qaddafi, went a long way towards reestablishing the military capability of the American armed forces. The same cannot be said about the confused aftermath. At issue is not merely the treatment of the body so pointedly criticized by Alan Dershowitz. Much more important is the possibility that by redirecting the world's gaze away from the horrors unleashed by on the people of Libya and Syria, the Obama administration may be snatching defeat from the Jaws of the victory achieved by the death of Bin Laden. Killing terrorists is a necessary but insufficient strategy to win the war against Islamism. Incorporating the Middle East into the democratic camp is the effective and moral road to long term victory. But having taking the lead in the eviction of pro-American rulers, once the turn of anti-American rulers came to feel their people's heat, Barack Obama reverted to his 2009 Iranian strategy of leading from behind, very much behind.
Hence while the Obama administration is busy not offending radical Muslims, many Arabs view the killing of Bin Laden as Obama's way of securing his second term without having to help them secure the "hope and change" they are sacrificing their lives for in the Middle East. Indeed, Misrata is turning into a second Srebreniza. Qadhafi's forces pounded the lifeline port of Misrata
In beseiged Misrata, a rebel spokesman said at least five people were killed as loyalists shelled the city's port, from which the International Organization of Migration said a ship managed to evacuate about 800 people, including stranded migrants and wounded
In Syria, having "cleared" Deraa, Hundreds of Syrian soldiers raid homes and arrest protesters in Damascus suburb where anti-government demo took place
Hundreds of Syrian soldiers raid homes and arrest protesters in Damascus suburb where anti-government demo took place
Military intelligence also turned back a convoy of vehicles loaded with food for the besieged quarters, a human rights campaigner in contact with Banias said. At the centre: Protesters are demanding the removal of President Bashar al-Assad Armed troops deployed in the Damascus suburb of Erbin and in the town of Tel north of the capital, where security forces arrested at least 80 men, women and children, the human rights organisation Sawasiah said.
Wissam Tarif, executive director of the Insan human rights group, said family members had confirmed the detention of 2,843 people across Syria and the real number could be as high as 8,000. More than 800 of them had been taken from Deraa.
Let's hope the focus on Bin Laden's demise ends before Qaddafi and Assad have a chance to crash their gutsy populations.

Tribal Games - Are YOU up to the challenge of a lifetime?
BBC Television is looking for the fittest, boldest male adventurers to compete in eight of the most challenging competitions in the macho world of tribal sport, for a new documentary series called Tribal Games, where believe it or not, six extremely fit, outgoing sportsmen are to be selected to compete in indigenous sporting contests around the world.
The selected contestants will live with the tribal communities prior to the event, train with them, and be taught by them. The contenders might go to Tajikistan to take part in Buzkashi, a game where horse backed riders wrestle over a goat, or to the Amazon to join Amazonian Indians in the indigenous spear throwing, running, and canoeing contests. They will compete against the locals but also against each other.
Sounds interesting? Well don't just read this, you can put yourself forward, or put forward someone you think has got what it takes to tackle the challenge. The BBC is looking for a cross-section of people, so whatever your sporting strengths, you're in with a shot.
If you've got what it takes to race across mountains with indigenous Indians in Mexico, wrestle with fierce Nuba wrestlers in Sudan, compete in traditional stone lifting challenges in Tahiti, or take part in fire throwing contests in the Northern Territories of Australia, this your chance!
If you're over 18 and have a sports skill, OR you know someone else who you think would be perfect for this program, please email firstname.lastname@example.com for an application form as soon as possible - but hurry, the closing date 3rd February 2006.

Use the right and left arrows to view available dogs. New CBCR dogs are added on the left of the scroller.
Independent Foster dogs appear after the CBCR dogs.
Buster was discovered on the streets of Mt. Airy, NC with blood crusted, dirty ears, one ear split into thirds, and a urinary issue which was solved by antibiotics and neutering. He was rescued by Paws4Mayberry and could easily have fit the names Barney, Opie or Gomer, but wound up called Buster. (Well, we can still call him "Uncle Bee!")
In the beginning, Buster was tired and weak, skeletal and raggedy. His housemate, Socks, a crazy young Border Collie foster dog, pestered the heck out of him. Finally, Buster gave in and went out to play. Now, fully nourished and full of energy, Buster play fights, shares a tug, growls, barks and pounces like a champ. He walks well on leash, knows no commands except for Come!, and has never had an accident in the house.
Somebody owned and cared for this dog. He doesn't flinch at a raised hand but will back off from nudging, when told, "That'll do!" Buster loves his people. When I took his two housemates out for a walk and left him home to convalesce, he pulled a picket off the gate and joined us before we made the corner. Followed us right on home after that.
Buster doesn't fetch or catch a ball, but he will accompany Socks in pursuit of a tossed toy, barking and bouncing all the way. Then he'll follow Socks back to me for the requisite "Good Dog" and neck rubs. He is interested in the resident kittens but, once he corners them, he just stares in fascination. He happily greets men, women, and children at the door. He sleeps on the floor beside my bed and appears, all four ears pricked forward, to say Good Morning, the minute he hears the radio alarm.
Socks was a handsome vagabond, way out east in Washington, NC, who was taken in by a well meaning resident there. He dug under and climbed over the resident's fence and remained a stray until a Border Collie lover coaxed him into a loop leash with high value treats. He was taken to the Beaufort County shelter (which has tops on its kennels) for safekeeping and stray hold. CBCR was notified and we arranged to have him brought into CBCR rescue and foster in Pittsboro NC.
Socks is a playful puppy, always up for a gamble. He is also very attached to his people, which might explain his strong drive to escape an enclosure and be with whoever he has connected with.
Socks has no herding instinct, but he loves to pounce after a squeaky toy and bring it back and, reluctantly, Drop It! He will be very happy in a family with children and sporting cats. He has bonded with the kittens in his foster home to the point where they sleep side by side and play off and on all through the day.
Socks is house trained, up to date on immunizations, neutered, and familiar with the command "Sit." He is ready to go to his forever home.

Any wedding day that starts with the Groom and groomsmen serenading the Bride with a Disney song is guaranteed to be a winning wedding. Add to that the traditional Chinese tea ceremony, the DIY flower wall and this beautiful couple, and you're left with a drop-dead-gorgeous affair. See all the pretty from Meghan Andrews Photography in The Vault!
From The Bride…The day started with traditional Chinese door games and tea ceremony. The groom and groomsmen needed to pass challenges designed by the bridesmaids in order to see the bride; one of the challenges was to serenade the bride with a Disney song. This was followed by a fairy tale like ceremony at Casa Loma and finally an intimate reception with our closest family and friends at Auberge du Pommier. We wanted our guests to have fun and share in the day so we had them toss flower petals at the end of our ceremony and post online to our hashtag throughout the day. DIY projects also made a our wedding unique and special. From small touches, such as glamouring up our centerpiece vases with glitter, to making succulent bombonieres for our guests, to our largest project of crafting an entire flower wall backdrop for our photo booth, we really enjoyed these projects and the personality they brought to our wedding.

Bad news on Gale:
I have to say, I am having doubts about GALE now. I do question the sales of the insider shares now. There is at least an appearance of a pump and dump scheme. If GALE can be tied to the promotion, then their credibility is down the toilet, in my book. Surely the marketing team gets approval from GALE before doing promotions?
It is hard to say what it all means for GALE. I hope that company has a good future. As an old timer I have mixed feelings on the manipulations that go on. If the company is sound then to promote is ok with me. If the hype was a lie then that is another story. Then there is the other side. I wonder how many of the articles put forth to attack a company is a planned attack by short sellers and how much of what is said is really true.
If the drug is truly effective, why would there be need to hype it through unethical means? And what about the insiders dumping so many shares? Doesn't look good to me. The insider selling I do not like at all, and now with today's negative article, there is an appearance of stock manipulation directly by GALE, which insiders have profited off of.
Bryce, I'm sort of with you on this one. I had heard about the the DreamTeam before today, but with the Insiders selling, it does look fishy to me. I'm long GALE and I'm holding right now. I've made a nice amount on this stock buying low and selling high and repeating.
GALE is structured well from a management standpoint, they have a promising pipeline of products, and projected sustainability / revenue growth from Abstral sales.

Hi all,
Probably easy, but I'm stumped...
At this test page, I have now included a little horizontal image spacer image IN the list on the right. You'll notice that it has a bullet just like the text links do.
I want the image right where it, preferably with no space above or below it between the "Resume" & "I Can Help" links. If I close the UL tag after Resume, then re-open it before I Can Help, the gap is too big. So I threw the image directly into the list!
But I gotta kill the bullet.

Space Monkey, the Google-backed P2P start-up that intends to compete against Box and Dropbox not to mention the likes of Google Drive and SkyDrive, seems to be slowly pumping up publicity for its widget so maybe it's getting close to its promised public beta if it can get the Kickstarter money to bring the thing to market.
Space Monkey aims to put a cloud in every house and says it's "building a storage network the likes of which have never been seen."
It involves a local storage device and a $10-a-month subscription for a terabyte of online storage, which is 10 times the storage you'd get from Dropbox for the same money.
It's looking to satisfy people with a lot of data as well as people who'd have a lot of data if they could afford it. (Think about those huge video files.)
It says anything stored on Space Money is immediately encrypted then broken into a thousand pieces and distributed in bits here and there around its user network and backed up on other devices. The start-up claims the data is "virtually indestructible."
The user gets the backup, sharing and anywhere accessibility of the cloud reportedly at 60 times faster speeds and a cheaper price for a lot more storage than the traditional cloud service - which is why its founders figure they're going to disrupt the cloud.
They also claim tight security and say unlike traditional cloud storage providers, their data protection is "verifiable and auditable by anyone with the inclination to do so, providing provable protection of your privacy and security."
Files are accessible from any device including iOS and Android mobile devices, Windows, Mac and Linux clients, as well as any other web browser-enabled technology. It also obviously offers offline access.
Since they've designed a network that will scale to millions of Space Monkey devices residing in millions of different locations, they also say that they've built a remote management platform as a core part of the foundation of the Space Monkey software stack.
"Remotely managing devices that are spread across the globe is a unique problem not solved by any existing software written by traditional cloud storage companies. So, we've spent an enormous amount of energy and resources to make sure we can effectively roll out updates to devices remotely and automatically, without you ever having to lift a finger."

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Gutirrez To Retire From Sony BMG Colombia
By Leila Cobo
Label vet signed Shakira.
Carlos Gutiérrez, the longtime president of Sony BMG's operation in Colombia, will retire Dec. 31, Billboard.biz has learned. Gutiérrez spent 34 years as president of CBS Records, Sony Music and finally, Sony BMG Colombia and CEV (Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela).
Stepping into the role of president of Sony BMG for CEV, is Andrés Lopez, who was most recently VP of marketing for the company. He will continue to be based in Bogotá, Colombia, reporting to Kevin Lawrie, who will assume the position of president, Sony BMG Music Entertainment for the Latin region on Jan. 1.
Gutiérrez says he has no immediate plans to work in the music industry but did not discount the possibility of working independently in some fashion in the future. During his nearly four-decade tenure at Sony's Colombian office, Gutiérrez consistently maintained the company as the marketshare leader in the country and signed multiple chart topping acts, most notably, a young Shakira.
"He is, without a doubt, the most respected music executive in Colombia," said Frank Welzer, the outgoing chairman/CEO of Sony BMG's Latin region.
López takes over a musically rich and thriving region where sales have stabilized in 2005 after years of decline due to piracy and political and economic turmoil. Priorities for 2006 include development of the digital and mobile marketplace as well as the exportation of key artists.

WEEKEND EXCURSION; The Other Utopia Jefferson Founded
By PAULA DEITZ
Published: July 6, 2001
While everyone else lolled on the beach or barbecued in the backyard, 75 people from 34 countries celebrated Independence Day this week in Charlottesville, Va., by taking the oath of citizenship on the west lawn of Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson. This year, the annual ceremony was held on the 225th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, drafted by Jefferson, and also recalled his own death exactly 50 years later on July 4, 1826.
Though Jefferson laid the groundwork for a new nation, nowhere are his goals and values felt more in the present than in his hometown of Charlottesville, not only at Monticello but also at the University of Virginia, the great educational and design achievement of the last nine years of his life. While the neo-Classical domed image of Monticello has gained symbolic familiarity on the reverse of the nickel, the bits and pieces of the university -- the much spoken-of serpentine brick walls, colonnades and rotunda -- are like a great architectural jigsaw puzzle that is difficult to fit together mentally without seeing it.
What finally motivated me to spend a weekend discovering Charlottesville, however, was a conversation I had in France during a visit to the Désert de Retz, the fantasy garden created by François Racine de Monville in the 1770's at the edge of the royal forest of Marly. Jean-Marc Heftler, a present co-owner of this visionary ensemble of follies that resemble antique ruins, described how Jefferson's designs for the oval rooms of the university's rotunda were inspired by seeing the Désert's Column House.
Jefferson had succeeded Benjamin Franklin as minister to France, serving from 1785 to 1789, and profited from his years abroad by absorbing the entire range of European architectural history, making notations and drawings as he went along. After his visit to the Désert, he remarked, ''How grand the idea excited by the remains of such a column.''
To arrive late on a summer evening in Charlottesville -- named in colonial times for the wife of George III -- and see the original university complex (called the Lawn) for the first time by moonlight and lamplight, flickering behind luminescent magnolia blossoms, is to observe one of the most magical settings in America.
Volumes have been written about the architectural influences for specific details of decoration, but the ensemble essentially represents the Jeffersonian vision for a sophisticated American learning environment that would make leaders out of young men from a hitherto agrarian society and attract European academics. (In his view, the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va., was already too provincial and in decline.)
Rather than relax after he left the presidency in 1809, Jefferson geared up for what he perceived to be his crowning achievement by appropriating a sloping cornfield for a secular university that would condense thousands of years of European culture into its architecture. What did not originate from his own drawings and notes came from such studies as Andrea Palladio's ''Four Books of Architecture,'' as well as from architect-friends like William Thornton and Benjamin Henry Latrobe, who provided sketches, specifically for the individual brick pavilions with white architectural trim.
The general plan was this. The library, a domed rotunda based on the Pantheon in Rome, was the centerpiece of the complex at the north end. Perpendicular to the rotunda, and facing each other, were two rows of five two-story pavilions or lodges, as Jefferson called them, reminiscent of the pavilions that once stood on either side of the Chateau of Marly.
With a lively mixture of pedimented facades and columns representing every classical order (the Ionic order of Pavilion II, from the Temple of Fortuna Virilis; the Corinthian order of Pavilion VIII, from the Baths of Diocletian), each pavilion housed on the second floor a professor of a different department -- law, medicine, natural history, moral philosophy, ancient languages, etc. -- who taught on the ground floor.
Linking the pavilions were the one-story dormitories for the students. In front of these were the long, covered passageways or colonnades, as rhythmical as those at the Palais Royal in Paris and a protection for students as they made their rounds of classes in inclement weather.
The Verdant Village
''The whole of these arranged around an open square of grass and trees would make it what it should be in fact, an academical village,'' wrote Jefferson, using the term that has evoked this special community for 175 years. The 200-foot-wide by 700-foot-long swath of lawn is a lush carpet of blue grass that descends in levels, giving greater height and importance to the rotunda in the distance. In fact, the pavilions are spaced farther apart as they descend the Lawn, giving the illusion of being evenly spaced, an illusion that reverses itself when seen from below.
''It is a daunting task to keep the Lawn green when it is the center of life,'' said Mary Hughes, the university's landscape architect. And herein lies the success of Jefferson's plan: even as a modern university has grown up around it, and a major library has left the rotunda and its restored oval rooms to ceremonial functions, with very few adjustments the ''academical village'' is occupied today exactly as Jefferson intended.

I was very impressed by the complimentary breakfast, which included eggs, bacon and sausages, coffee, juice and fruit. Wifi worked best through a VPN and I could get speeds of 10Mb/s. Coverage throughout the hotel was good.
You should expect guests and their children to arrive in the middle of the night at a hotel next to an airport. Unfortunately, sound isolation between the rooms is not great and I did not sleep well as a result.

Penguin Method Review – Scam Or Legit?
Dating is a complex game because it's filled with anxiety and also the thought of not knowing how the future will turn out. The mind of a man is too complicated for a woman to understand, which is why women will fall for men deeply, only to end up getting hurt because the man was only playing her, and not really interested in any future commitments. Therefore, in this post, we review the Penguin Method, a system that could revolutionize the dating game to make women have more control over every decision their male partners will make where relationships are concerned.
Penguin Method Review
Did you know that male penguins stay loyal to their soul-mates for life? The Penguin Method was designed around this concept, to help women know how to constantly attract men and let them stay in the relationship forever.
It's the work of Samantha Sanderson, where she explains to women how they can attract their potential male partners and keep them forever. This program is an innovative approach to dating, with techniques that can be really effective where attracting and keeping a man is concerned.
All women who have used this program know how efficacious it is. It simply gives them the right confidence and command when it comes to controlling the man they want – so they can submit and possibly make lifetime commitments.
Product Details
Samantha Sanderson only takes advantage of a couple of psychological principles to the benefit of women. These principles have been known to re-program the mind of a man so that he will erase any doubts of having a lasting relationship with their female partners. Then it also makes a man develop a burning desire to be with their partners even when they are not sure of any lifetime commitments.
This is a niche area since Samantha only puts emphasis in helping you get the man you want to actually want you more – not just by loving you, but by continuously demonstrating effort towards action.
The author has only integrated the behavioral structure of the penguin, so he will court you, love you and chase you very hard. Reading and implementing this guide into your love life is really important if you were to conquer his heart.
So even if you're dating for the first time, or trying to date a second or third time, this is step-by-step basics to attracting the man you want and keeping him forever. It's the continuous, intense attraction, that will keep him around for life.
The program contains some of the things mentioned below to get you started immediately. They are as follows:
- As a woman, you'll learn the use of the commitment code, where you get your man to be curious and ambitious when talking about the future with you.
- You will learn how to constantly make him infatuate to the point of wanting to be around you all day long. He simply can't do without you.
- They call it Romeo effect, where you learn how to use powerful words that will get to attract and keep him forever, so he can't go anywhere or think otherwise.
- For the first time, women will be given the true chance of learning about the law of sexual attraction. Consequently, they can learn how to continuously arouse their partner's desire and feelings.
- The bonding effect will make him emotionally bound to you, so he is able to stay faithful and loyal for the rest of the relationship.
- The phone fascination method is very effective when it comes to controlling how your man will respond to your calls or texts. Imagine that he will always respond to your calls promptly even when he is busy, maybe hanging out with his friends. There's something that will push him to abandon everything and respond to you.
- Women will learn the use of connection conversation secrets, to help them engage the man and get the most out of any conversation situation – it all contributes towards strengthening the bond between the two of you.
- Lastly, your man will be prompted to show habits or love and care, whether he is with you or when he is not with you.
- In short, this guide is like a secret technique for training your target man so that he is able to develop intense interest in loving and caring about you. It's like a love spell but with no magic at all!
The ultimate goal that this program seeks to achieve is that of creating a powerful connection. Consequently, this will lead to passion, chemistry and even intimate relationship. We've also realized that this technique has a way of subconsciously working even without you knowing it.
The Advantages
- You can have more control over choosing and keeping the man you identify as "The One".
- You can win the man who is always shy about opening up their true feelings, so they continuously hide them.
- You can teach the man you've just started dating to be constantly interested in you.
- You can even win the man who wants to reject you for no apparent reason.
Most reviews tout this program as a guide that is meant for single women only. However, the truth is that it was created for all women, whether single, in a relationship or married. If the goal is to excite the man and get to keep him forever, then why would it be for the single women alone?
The Disadvantages
Just like every other guide you download out there, the Penguin Method has some shortcomings too. So here's what to expect:
- If you are not ready to read and practice the techniques in your relationship, then it will most likely backfire.
- Again, some people want ready solutions. They simply want spells that work instantly, even without them having to put in some effort to make it work. This category of women might end up being disappointed with the program.
Final Word
Otherwise, Penguin Method is a creative and innovative guide that has helped those who want to be helped. So if you're among them, it is better you buy it and start learning the secrets now. You have nothing to loose where attempts are being made to safeguard your relationship.

Probate scam targets elderly, judge says
Published: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
Someone is posing as a probate court official -- again.
Spartanburg County Probate Judge Ray Eubanks said a woman is calling elderly people and telling them she is with the probate court and needs to come to their homes to assess property value.
"We don't do that," Eubanks said. "We do not send anyone out for any reason."
Eubanks said this scam is not new.
"This is not the first time this type of thing has happened. So it's going around," he said. 'The first time it (the caller) was a man. This time the caller was a woman."
Anyone who receives such calls should get a telephone number if possible, and then call the sheriff's office or the local police department with jurisdiction.
"Once they get access to their home, there's no telling what they could get access to," Eubanks said. "It would be terrible for them to lose their life savings like that."

Matthew Teeple, the hedge fund analyst arrested last week on insider-trading charges, has been released on $200,000 bail.
Teeple, who has been suspended by San Francisco-based Artis Capital Management, did not enter a plea at his first appearance in Manhattan federal court. He surrendered his passport and must remain in New York or New Jersey, and will be subject to alcohol tests.
Teeple, who faces conspiracy and securities fraud charges, is due back in court on April 25. He previously appeared in court in California, where he was released on $200,000 bond.
Teeple was arrested in California last Tuesday on allegations that he pushed colleagues at Artis to trade on a tip about Foundry Networks' impending acquisition by Brocade Communications Systems in 2008. Teeple allegedly received the tip from a friend, former Foundry chief information officer David Riley, who has also been charged.
According to prosecutors, Teeple then passed the tip on to money manager John Johnson and expert-networker Karl Motey. Johnson, chief investment officer for Wyoming's state retirement system until his firing this week, has pleaded guilty and is cooperating with prosecutors. Motey is a long-time cooperating witness who has already testified in two insider-trading trials.
Teeple's lawyers have said he plans to contest the charges against him.
