When Daryl Foster was growing up in Tuscaloosa, Ala., there were not many options available for a little boy interested in dance. No other males took dance classes in his area — there weren't even any male teachers — and his parents wouldn't let him take lessons because they didn't think dancing was something a man should do.
Although this changed when he started to formally study dance at the University of Alabama. When he moved to Atlanta in 2006 to continue his professional career, he found himself confronted with the same imbalance once again. "I wasn't seeing a lot of men in the dance community," he says. "There were a lot of companies beginning to form at that time, but there'd be maybe one man here or no men there. ... Many of us have that same experience."
To remedy this, Foster, who now teaches dance at the University of Georgia, started the annual Lift showcase in May 2010. The event, which has its third-annual set of performances from July 20-21 at the Alliance's Hertz Theatre at the Woodruff Arts Center, is designed to bring the work of Atlanta's male choreographers and dancers to the stage. There are seven choreographers represented this year, all working with the chosen theme of masculinity.
"What you'll see is the choreographers' interpretation of what masculinity is," says Foster. Foster's own piece, titled "American Mandingo," plays off of the highly sexualized, highly athletic Mandingo myth as it's been attributed to black American men, blending Foster's contemporary work with that of hip-hop choreographer Gordie Holt and set to the music of Gnarls Barkley. "The piece explores different types of black men in America and the pressures they go through to conform to the masculine myth," he says.
Choreographer Bernard Jackson looks at men in the military in his piece, which originally premiered as part of the Rialto's "off the EDGE" dance festival in January 2012, and Victor Jackson looks at masculinity in the work place. The evening will include a first for Lift, a female choreographer: Hip-hop dance-maker CiCi Kelley will give a female perspective on masculinity with her piece for male dancers enacting a rite of passage. "I thought it was important this time to get a woman's take on the theme," says Foster.
In its three years, Lift has become an important part of the careers of the dancers and choreographers that participate. Atlanta Ballet Artistic Director John McFall first encountered the work of Juel D. Lane at a Lift showcase and later commissioned the young Atlanta-based choreographer to create a work on the ballet, and actress Jasmine Guy came to the first Lift and picked out one of the dancers to be in her musical I Dream, which she was producing at the Alliance. Lift also attracts choreographers, agents, and company directors from around Atlanta, New York, and other places who have ended up using Atlanta dancers and choreographers for their various projects.
Foster hopes to move the Lift concept forward in the next few years by creating an independent "Lift" dance company of 10 men for year-round performances and touring. Also in the works is a series of summer intensive classes for male teachers and dancers.
"The first year was mostly just about putting on a show," he says. "But it became more about helping these young men realize their dreams and goals." After the first showcase, Kim Thomas of Gotta Dance Atlanta, the studio which sponsors Lift and houses its rehearsals, helped provide a scholarship. Now, every year there's one young man, who, like Foster as a child, might not otherwise have the opportunity to study dance, who takes a full year of free classes at the studio. It's a scholarship Foster hopes to soon extend into the chance for the chosen student to study dance for a full year at the college level.
"I hope the audience that comes to our show is able to recognize that Atlanta has strong male choreographers and strong male dancers," Foster says. "Atlanta is a place where art is flourishing. We're just at the beginning, and we're moving to great places."

- Fantastic with a hitch! :)
I wanted to wait until I had mine for awhile to give my input. We have had our rockers and side table for 2+ years now. I only have one tiny complaint. On the very top of the rocker it is a little pitted and it is impossible to scrub out the dirt, any suggestions for cleaning those spots like that. Otherwise, they have been snowed on, rained on, and blown over from 40 mile hr winds. Good news they still look great!!!!

A few hours after winds gusting between 40 and 60 mph raked parts of the coast, cooler air moved behind the storm and brought some snow -- even down to the beaches.
Snow reports ranged from a dusting to as much as 3 1/2 inches according to one spotter near Aberdeen. Other snow reports have come in from Westport, Raymond, Moclips and the Olympic foothill communities north of Montesano.
Once the front gradually pushes into Eastern Washington this evening, we'll cool off in the interior as well. Snow levels overnight will drop to about 500 feet overnight and with frequent showers in the front's wake, we could see some wet snow around here as well, especially on the hilltops and higher elevations away from the water. Accumulations would be around a dusting to 1" but models indicate that snow belt over toward Hood Canal along Highway 101 (between Hoodsport and Brinnon) could see up to 2-3" of snow. And those along the central and south coast and Chehalis Valley could see 1-3" by the time the night is done, especially those above a few hundred feet elevation.
For at- and near-sea-level areas around Seattle, we're looking at rain/snow mix showers or perhaps briefly a non-sticking snow in showers with lows in the mid 30s.
Up in the mountains, of course there is no question it'll be snow. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 5 a.m.
Tuesday will remain cool and showery with snow levels around 500-1,000 feet. The air mass does look a bit unstable so some of these showers could be heavy with some hail, graupel or perhaps a strike of lightning. And if the shower is intense enough or you're at a high enough elevation, you once again could see some wet snow. Temperatures will be in the low 40s outside the showers, but will drop to the mid 30s during any precipitation event.
The rain/hilltop snow shower game continues into Tuesday evening, but we begin to run out of moisture that night, with skies gradually clearing.

Jason Orr's mother has been complaining about him wearing the same clothes for too many days in a row. He's only staying with her temporarily before he catches a flight back to New Orleans, where he's been considering a permanent move. In the meantime, he's been living like a gypsy.
He says he needs to stop by the nearest Target to pick up some new jeans, so we roll out. Even in a big-box discount store, he seems to possess his own brand of cool. It's evident in the way he floats down the aisles with a rhythm more coastal than Southern. Though he was born in Savannah and raised in Atlanta, he's spent a lot of time in his biological father's Caribbean homeland of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. But it's also apparent in the way total strangers eye him with keen interest. Even if they don't recognize the 6-foot-tall dread-head behind the brown-tinted shades and the applejack cap, it's as if they wish they did.
After making his purchase, he eases back to the car. Although it's mid-May, and technically still spring, Atlanta's notorious humidity makes the leather seats sticky. Gas is too expensive to run the air-conditioning in Friday afternoon rush-hour traffic, so he sweats it out with the windows down. As we approach the Tower package store on Moreland Avenue, I detect a slight aroma. Jason Orr is kinda funky.
Perhaps that's to be expected from a man who considers funk "a sacred art form" and James Brown his patron saint. As it turns out, the natural mystic behind the alternative multimedia arts and music phenomenon FunkJazz Kafé is quite the mortal in more ways than one. At 40, he seems to have come to a crossroads. The man he refers to as his father, since he never really had a relationship with his biological one, recently passed away. Making matters worse, Orr's last girlfriend cheated on him, which left him feeling less than appreciated.
It's all part of why he's been flirting with a change of scenery and some new inspiration.
"I think divine spirit took me to New Orleans because of that Congo Square energy and the beginnings of our music," he says, referring to the city's Treme neighborhood park, credited as the birthplace of American music, where African slaves dating back to the 1700s were allowed to gather on Sundays to make music and dance.
Though it's been four years since he threw his last sold-out FunkJazz jam at Atlanta's Tabernacle, he still relishes his status as the Pied Piper of the city's contemporary soul scene — a scene he practically nursed from birth.
"People always [ask], 'When's it coming back?' And I'm like, 'Muhfucka, I'm not dead.' I don't think they realize they're looking at the chef of the food that they like. It's like [asking me], 'When you gonna make that sandwich again?'"
His recently completed music documentary, Diary of a Decade, could be satisfying enough to quell even his own hunger pangs. He's been piecing it together nearly twice as long as the title suggests. With an almost two-and-a-half hour run time, it's as epic as the brand he built. That's because FunkJazz Kafé serves as a mere catalyst to a contentious subplot that fingers the music industry for killing off the heart and soul of black music.
It's the kind of documentary one might expect from a conspiracy theorist like Orr. He even works 9/11 into the mix.
But in order for the film to secure the kind of broad distribution he hopes will rejuvenate the FunkJazz Kafé brand, he might have to cut the most controversial, and compelling, parts.
The enigma of Jason Orr has always been his ability to straddle two diametrically opposed worlds by securing corporate dollars to fund a countercultural movement without selling out the mission. It made him something akin to a poor righteous pimp. But now that his documentary is done, he may be forced to make a choice that could define his legacy long after the credits have rolled.
To water it down in the hopes of going mainstream or stay true to the cause and remain relegated to the underground? It's the same dilemma black music's been facing for decades.
Orr was still deep in the throes of editing Diary of a Decade one year ago at his Glenwood Park condo. The contemporary décor in his living room was decidedly minimalist. In place of a TV, an electronic keyboard and computer workstation served as the focal point. In a guest room closet, crates stacked neatly to the ceiling housed nearly 17 years worth of meticulously organized FunkJazz Kafé archives, including exhibits, photos, audio recordings and Betamax tapes dating back to 1995. A mini bookshelf in the living room was filled with provocative titles, including Heal Thyself for Health and Wellness, Dictionary of African Deities, and The Third Eye, the sci-fi book by black writer Sophia Stewart, who alleged in a lawsuit that the Wachowski Brothers plagiarized her story's premise for their Matrix film series.
Orr's own film attempts to illuminate a much larger conspiracy. Diary of a Decade contends that the mainstream evaporation of soul and other meaningful expressions of black music during the '90s was due to the industry's deep-seated white supremacist ideals. It's a thought-provoking assertion, if only because few are bold enough to scream it from the rooftops.
But Orr has always been a bit of an eccentric.
"When I met Jason, I thought he was almost like a cultural elitist," says WCLK-FM's Jamal Ahmad, a FJK attendee since day one. "But it's just because I didn't know him. The thing is, being conscious and spiritually aware is totally different when you juxtapose it with being aware of the foundations of music. There are not a lot of people who can break down, like, chemtrails and still break down the importance of James Brown."
Asking Orr how FunkJazz Kafé started is like probing for the origins of the universe. The story he tells is part creation myth, part conspiracy and full of tangents that veer off in all sorts of unexpected directions — like the time he unearthed an unsigned Maxwell after digging his demo out of a Sony Music A&R's trash can in New York.
But Orr's short answer is that it was born of necessity: "FunkJazz comes from an environment that was in crisis. Black music was in a crisis."
It was the early '90s and Orr was working full-time as a Fulton County tax collector, a job he'd landed as a 19-year-old Clark Atlanta University dropout despite showing up at the interview with a stud in his ear. By night, he managed Vinnie Bernard, an unknown singer with an unprecedented style that predated both the neo-soul misnomer and future stars of the subgenre such as D'Angelo and Maxwell.

Near First Avenue and where we wanted to be.Posted Jun 7, 2016
Pros: Modern hip design with a functional side.
Cons: A bit hard to just get a cup of coffee- the fancy espresso machine was cool, but sometimes a cup of just coffee is good too.
Location: First Avenue was right around the corner.
Staff was most helpful and friendly. Easy to get to where what we wanted downtown; the Walker is a nice stroll away and the river is as well. Easy to get to using the light rail. Plus a good selection of Sunday papers. A little bonus for those who like to read papers! Lots of little touches like that.

Unimpressed, not worth what I paidPosted Apr 17, 2016
Pros: The bed had a pillow top which was nice. The room was quiet.
Cons: Dump the espresso machine and replace with a Keurig. Way overpriced.
Location: Great location, near arts, shopping, and restaurants. I walked everywhere.
For the money I paid, I expected top notch amenities. Instead I got 3 start amenities like standard toiletries, towels, etc.. Oh there was a TV in the bathroom. Nice. The funny thing was how impressed they were with the in-room espresso machine, except that I don't drink espresso and just wanted a nice cup of tea, which I couldn't have. I would have been more satisfied with a Keurig machine. When I commented on this fact to the front desk they looked at me as if I was from another planet. "You don't drink espresso??? What is wrong with you?" -- sort of look.

Get the Tub!Posted Apr 16, 2016 on Hotels
My husband and I stayed here for 1 night for his birthday and it was great! We originally booked a standard room, but after seeing pictures of the tubs online we paid an extra $40 when checking in to get a suite and it was SO worth it! The tub was huge, had a tray nearby to set a wine glass, and a tv to watch in the bathroom! The showers was also amazing - from the ceiling! The bed was very comfy and we would definitely come back for a special treat!

Boutique Minny StylePosted Apr 9, 2016
Pros: The room was spacious and modern, the bathroom was wonderful including a rainfall shower---and my favorite perk was the heated floors in the bathroom.
Cons: The workout room was a box. It could be enlarged. It could have towels. The equipment could be updated.
Location: Centrally located. Not a huge fan of Hennepin, but t's an easy walk to restaurants etc. The Scotch American bar across the street is most interesting.
During check in, I asked about availability of an upgrade and Jennifer was kind enough to accommodate me for a very reasonable upcharge. She must have taken pity on me after a long day of travel. The room was very generous and the overall feel of the hotel was modern and comfortable without being ostentatious. There is a nice restaurant in the lobby that is quite busy during regular dining hours and very casual. The only surprise for me was how badly stained the carpet in the hallways and in the room were. Everything else, including services were on point. Housekeeping forgot to replenish the soap etc. a couple of times---but in the end it didn't impact the overall impression of my visit. Big tip for those with cars: there is a nice public garage about 150 feet from the hotel. Use it and save big time. The valet parking is $38 (plus tip) and to self park it's $14 on weekdays and $6 on weekends.

Weather statistics for Bekk, Nesodden (Akershus)
Skogsborg observation station
The station is located in Røyken municipality, 3 m.a.s.l. It is the closest official weather station, 7.7 km away from Bekk. The station was established in November 2015. The station measures precipitation. There are no normals for precipitation and temperature. There may be missing data.
Last 30 days: The total precipitation was 95.5 mm. Highest daily precipitation was 19.7 mm (1 July), measured at 7am (8am daylight savings) for the past 24 hours.
Last 13 full months: Highest daily precipitation was 22.3 mm (1. May. 2016).
Graph explanation. Hide explanation
The black line shows mean value (both precipitation and temperature). Some stations does not have mean values, and hence no black line.
The red/blue line shows average temperature during the day (24h) (equalized for 30 days). The line is red by pluss degrees, and blue by minus degrees.
The red/blue areas shows the temperature variations throughout the day (24h) with max- and min. temperature as endpoints. The area is red by pluss degrees, and blue by minus degrees.
The lightblue bars shows total precipitation this month. The black lines crossing is the normal (mean) value for precipitation.
The dark grey bars behind the precipitation bars shows snowdepth measured day by day.
Some stations only measures precipitation, while others only measures temperature. If an area or bar is missing the station does not measure this data.
NB! Precipitation is measured at 07 hours Norwegian time. The value (in mm) shows last 24 hours until 07 hours (08 hours summertime). Download other weather statistics from eklima.met.no.

We consider a cyber-physical perspective to the problem of identifying and mitigating information corruption in smart grid systems. We study the problem of transient stability with distributed control using real-time data from geographically distributed phasor measurement units via a flocking-based modeling paradigm. We demonstrate how cyber corruption can be identified through the effective use of telltale physical couplings within the power system.We develop a novel witness-based cyber-physical protocol whereby physical coherence is leveraged to probe and identify phasor measurement unit data corruption and estimate the true information values for attack mitigation.

Write-precompensation circuits are widely used in digital magnetic recording systems to counteract nonlinearities in the recording process. They act to shift transitions in the binary write signal in nonlinear dependence on neighboring bits. This paper develops a general and accurate technique for assessing the quality of these circuits. The technique permits joint assessment of the actual transition shifts introduced by the circuits and of data-dependent, periodic, and random jitter of the transitions. The action of a phase-locked loop (PLL) can be mimicked so as to characterize only the harmful portion of the jitter, namely the portion that is left behind by the PLL. Experimental results for a fifth-order write-precompensation circuit illustrate the merits of the technique.

OK, so maybe I am a bit biased as the theme author but I think the theme is great! I even use it myself ... on three different sites, so far.
The theme handles all of the core "Post-Formats" with a variety of methods including specific styling, typography and indicative texts.
Although a "minimalist" theme by default, suiting my personal preferences it is quite easily extended via the many appropriately placed HTML classes as well as numerous "hooks" to add additional structures and theme functionality as required.
Opus Primus also includes "Stanzas". These are theme specific extensions providing additional functionality ... and are great examples of the themes extensibility.
Also to note, Opus Primus will display a single column, two column, or three column layout. This functionality is dependent on which widget areas are being used and is fully explained within the Widget pages of the Administration Panels.

Editor's note: Cliff Miller, CEO of Mountain View Data, has conducted a series of interviews with Asian tech leaders that will appear on CNET News.com. Miller has traveled and worked extensively in Asia for several years.
I first met Wang Jianzhou in 1983, when I was teaching at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China--one of the key science and technology universities in China. He participated in an English speech contest that I had organized and ended up being one of the winners.
At the time, Wang Jianzhou was a young member of the management team at the Posts and Telecommunications Bureau of Hangzhou City. He was taking time off as a graduate student to study management and technology.
Wang Jianzhou is now the CEO of China Mobile, a mobile telecommunications service provider that is the country's fourth-largest company in revenue. With 250 million customers--it adds about 4 million each month--it has the largest mobile phone subscriber base in the world.
His task is to steer China Mobile along the high-growth trajectory it will inevitably take for the next several years. At the same time, he must bring international practices into the corporate culture, and guide the company through changes as China takes on its obligations as a World Trade Organization member.
Here are some highlights from a conversation I had with Wang Jianzhou during a recent visit to Beijing.
You mentioned a couple of meetings ago that you looked at Japan as being a "thumb culture," where they would get on the train or wherever, using their thumbs to input. Has China become a thumb culture yet?
Wang: I think we are very successful in that. In the past for China Mobile, we had only 6 percent of our revenue from value-added services, like short messaging. And today, the proportion for value-added services--we call them nonvoice services--is as high as 20 percent. Twenty percent is a very good proportion for telcos in the world. About half--that means 10 percent of total revenue--is from short messages, or SMS.
Do you prefer SMS over voice calls?
Wang: Yeah, for myself I like SMS for many things. If you discuss some topics, you should use voice. But if you're just saying "hello" to people, then SMS is very good. I think it's more convenient than computer, than e-mail.
This year, the everyday average is 800 million SMS per day for China Mobile only.
Another thing maybe you will be interested in: We can use a handset to listen to music and to other things. The revenue income from mobile music is more than the total income of the music industry (in China).
I'll give you a very simple example. In one month, we downloaded a popular song. It is very popular. The name is "The Mouse Loves Rice," "Laoshu ai da mi" (laughter). And there were 5 million downloads per month. And every download costs two yuan (25 cents). That means 10 million yuan ($1.25 million) just for one song.
I noticed that the Chinese government and industry will be promoting 3G (third-generation networks) next year. And they expect by the Olympics, by the year 2008, there should be 118 million 3G users. How do you see that changing China Mobile's business and changing society in general?
Wang: At China Mobile, we are waiting for the building out of our 3G networks after we get the 3G license. And we think there will be a lot of applications based on 3G. And China Mobile is the mobile communication partner for the Olympic Games--we promised to provide 3G services during the Olympic Games.
Do you think that 118 million users is possible in two years?
Wang: I don't know. China Mobile didn't give any target for the subscriber base, because for China Mobile, it will be a very smooth migration.
First, we have a 2G network with very good coverage. For 3G, because it provides data communications, not every person would like to use that. In order to control the (capital expenditure), we will just build out the 3G network in some places where there is the demand for high-speed wireless data.

Bartholomew Cubbins serves thanklessly as pageboy to King Derwin of Didd, a headstrong man who's decided he isn't satisfied with mere sun, fog, rain, and snow. ("Humph! The things that come down from my sky!") He wants something else, something uniquely his own, so he calls in his royal magicians ("Shuffle, duffle, muzzle, muff. Fista, wista, mista-cuff. We are men of groans and howls, mystic men who eat boiled owls"). Happy to oblige, the magicians tell the king they can make "oobleck" fall from the sky, only nobody--not even the magicians--knows just what oobleck is. But after a night of arcane incantations, everyone in the kingdom gets a taste of the stuff (in the case of the Captain of the Guard, literally!), as the green, gluey goo gums up everything in sight.
Of course, Bartholomew tries to help, but it's up to the king to save the day, as he learns to utter not magic words but simple words with magic in them: "I'm sorry." (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes

The book is a wonderful look at the perils of getting what you think you want, a great lesson for children to learn at an early age. Unlike other Dr. Seuss books, this one is mostly in prose. The color in the illustrations is limited to green to flesh out the oobleck. The drawings and the humor though are first rate Dr. Seuss!
Bartholomew is the King's page boy, and the king's source of common sense. When the king decides to call in his magicians to create oobleck, Bartholomew's warnings are unheeded. Even the magicians give a warning, for they have never made oobleck before and don't quite know how it will turn out. Nevertheless, the king orders the magicians to go ahead. When the first green drops hit, the king decides to declare a holiday.
But soon there are problems. Oobleck is very sticky! And it's coming down in ever increasing quantities. What do you do?
The resolution is a particularly good one, for it reinforces the moral that any willful thing we decide to do can be undone if we unbend our will. (It also encourages good manners.)
Reading this book reminded me of when I was about five. I only liked to eat junk food. I begged my parents to buy ever larger quantities. Finally, my mother said. "All right. You're in charge of buying food for yourself this week. You'll have only that to eat." I stocked up on potato chips, candy, soft drinks, and other wonderful snacks. By the fourth day, I couldn't face any more junk food. I begged my mother to take back the job of selecting food for me!Read more ›
Written in 1949, "Batholomew and the Oobleck", like its prequel, "The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins" hardly feels like a Dr. Suess book. The illustrations look like charcoal sketches (except of course for the green oobleck) and the text lacks the sing-song poetry commonly associated with Suess books. Despite this, the Bartholomew books have withstood the tests of time and tastes because they touch on a subject that is near to the hearts of all children, but which is rarely addressed in children's literature. Many times children find themselves surrounded by adults hurrying about, fixated on their own agendas. When a child is in the thick of such a situation, he or she will often be ignored. After all, why should adults listen to children? BATO tells us why; children can sometimes see situations as clearly or moreso than adults specifically because they are not distracted by adult agendas! The lesson of BATO stands for all generations, and that is what makes it a timeless classic.

4:19 PM -- Today is no different from yesterday or the day before: Nope, its just another day that Google has made things a little worse for Yours Truly. Full disclosure: I dont actually use Google anymore. Ive long since realized that Yahoos Overture actually has better results than Google and a much bigger index, which helps when searching for esoteric strings. So the only time I find myself on the search giant is when Im bug hunting or debugging someone elses problem.
That brings me to my first Google rant of the day. My girlfriend emailed me today, asking if Google was down. Clickity clickity... Nope, looks good to me. But it appeared that every time she went to the page, she was getting something that looked like this:
It appears that someone at her office did something that caused Google to basically shut down "search" for everyone in the office. Most Internet users would be helpless without Google, but thankfully my girlfriend knows the ways of Yahoo, so she continued about her day. But there are still hundreds of people at her company left without Google search for as yet-unknown reasons.
Google provides no way to rectify the situation, so guys like me end up playing tech support for them. I tell people to use another search engine. (Im probably not the best Google tech support person, am I? Im guessing they arent banking on me telling hundreds of people at a time to stay off their site.)
After the drama, I look through Technorati and find a spammer on Blogspot. (See Attackers Abuse Google Blogger .) The spammer has decided to take my content and re-post it as its own. That wouldnt be a problem, except that theyve posted it to the Google-owned Blogspot. Google isnt just a search company -- it's also an advertising company, and it often hosts security hole-ridden beta applications and spam. Youd think it would be easy enough to tell Google to cease and desist with the spam, but no. That would be too easy and responsible of Google. So heres the easy seven-step process for removing spammers content from Blogspot:
Google has actually made it harder to stop a spammer than it is to be a spammer. And people who have been infringed upon actually have to spend money -- long-distance phone call or postage -- to stop spammers on Googles own domain. This by no means guarantees that it will be removed in a timely manner, either. Isnt it time we demand Google fix its own problems rather than placing the burden on everyone else?
At a minimum, lets demand that Googles legal department start using email.

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?

Natura Pet Products has voluntarily recalled all dry pet food and treats that expire by March 24, 2014, expanding a recall initiated in March because the food may be contaminated with salmonella bacteria. Agriculture officials in Georgia and Michigan identified salmonella in some of the products included in the recall. "Salmonella can affect animals eating the products and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products," the company said.

Firefox OS
In December 2015, Mozilla announced that its ambitious new operating system would not be appearing on any new phones, but the project may still live on as a platform for smart TVs and IoT devices.
The mobile device space is dominated by two platforms: Apple's iOS and Google's Android. Is there space for another platform? If you asked Mozilla a year ago, the answer would have been an emphatic yes. Inspired by Chrome OS, Mozilla imagined a platform where apps were essentially Web sites. That dream became a reality in Firefox OS.
Firefox OS is a very lightweight system. At the heart of the stack lies the Linux kernel. At the top, there's a modified version of Gecko (Firefox's rendering engine) and the JavaScript runtime.
The advantage of building an app as a Web site is that it allows you to leverage existing technology. HTML, JavaScript and CSS are mature technologies. There are many open-source libraries that developers can use to boost the development process, and it would be easy for Web developers to change gears and start working on the new platform.
The idea isn't new. Cordova is an open-source project that uses Web technologies to build cross-platform apps. The same code base can be deployed to Android devices, iPhones and even Windows PCs. The main difference is that Firefox OS offers native support for HTML5 Web apps. This makes the development and deployment process simpler, and it provides a rich device API for developers to use.
There's no doubt that Firefox OS's lightweight Web-centric design makes it an appealing platform for developers. The browser-based stack makes it easy to develop new applications rapidly, reusing code from existing projects and third-party libraries.
But, pleasing developers is only one part of the puzzle. To succeed in the competitive mobile platform space, Mozilla would need to convince handset manufacturers to support its product. It also would need to demonstrate that the new platform offered benefits that aren't available in Android. And, Mozilla would need to convince users as well.
Although HTML5 app development is possible on Android and iOS, most developers use the native frameworks instead. Those frameworks are more complex and less portable than HTML5. So, why is the native framework the preferred choice? The main reason is performance. The native frameworks offer greater performance by hooking into low-level libraries. These libraries are optimized for performance on mobile hardware, offering a fast and responsive user experience.
The root of the problem is the browser itself. Web browsers are built to accommodate a wide range of different types of content and layouts. That flexibility comes at a cost. In the case of Web browsers, that cost comes in the form of the DOM.
The DOM is the "Document Object Model", a data structure that represents the structure of the page. The DOM is expensive--it's memory-heavy. Rendering the DOM (turning it into an image) is computationally expensive as well. Web applications work by manipulating the DOM. Each small change requires a number of recalculations and layout changes. Each of those changes chews up processor power, so HTML5 apps seem less responsive because their runtime engine has to work harder to process changes to the display.
In the end, it's this performance bottleneck that keeps HTML5 from replacing native frameworks. Developers rely on the native frameworks instead.
On Firefox OS, there is no other framework. HTML5 apps are the only option. As a result, even simple Firefox apps struggle to match the performance of apps on Android devices.
Selling Firefox OS to mobile handset manufacturers has been a slow and painful process, and Mozilla is calling it a day, but it isn't quite giving up on its baby yet.
Firefox OS has demonstrated that it's a very flexible platform. It has the potential to run on a wide range of devices, such as TVs and IoT gadgets. As long as Mozilla can find some persuasive use cases for manufacturers, it has a good chance of making an impact in these emerging fields.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

thoughts on what to do here? Been quite a run....
if this is day traders, the past history of stocks whose run was started by day traders is pretty interesting. especially those with the volume history and float of NSSC. see BOOM for an example, or TZOO for another from a year or so ago. never bet against the "day-trading" crowd in a stock like this.
I should clarify the last response a little more.....at these price levels I see NSSC fully valued and maybe then some, so my point would be if you know of a significantly undervalued stock no one could second guess you for taking some profit and moving that money to possibly greener pastures. Just a thought, not a recommendation.Bean
Ten days ago, NSSC was approximately a $13 stock. Ask yourself whether the ultimate announcement of a 3 for 2 stock split did anything to the company to make it worth almost 30% more? Just a thought.Bean
tread carefully here shorty. this thing just might be on the verge of an explosive move. ; )
not that I necessarily disagree with you, but it wasn't really a "13 dollar stock" as OPCO was forcing/keeping it down with that ridiculous offer in the low 13s.....
