Emphasis on Power Efficiency
Besides virtualization, AMD is also placing a great deal of emphasis on the power efficiency of the 45-nm Opteron processors. The die shrink from 65 nm to 45 nm will help reduce the power the processors use, and there are other technologies, such as independent control of each processing core, that should further reduce power consumption. The nine Opteron processors AMD is releasing Nov. 13 will all work within a 75-watt thermal envelope. In the first quarter of 2009, AMD will follow with low-watt parts-55 watts and high-watt processors that run at 105 watts.To help with the transition, AMD will use the same socket-Socket F (1207)-that was used with the 65-nm Opteron processor, and system vendors can incorporate Shanghai into their servers through a BIOS upgrade. AMD has also made sure that several of the larger OEMs-Dell, IBM and Hewlett-Packard-have new server systems ready to go at launch. A number of smaller vendors, including Appro, Verari Systems and Rackable Systems, are also offering support.
While the launch of the new Opteron processor is a significant milestone for AMD, it also marks a time when the company can begin talking about a new product instead of its inability to bring its 65-nm Opteron processor-formerly "Barcelona"-to market in 2007.

Scheduling an extra practice Saturday so that Sprint Cup teams could test new, harder tires on Michigan International Speedway's new, ultra-high speed pavement seemed like a good idea – at the time. However, it proved costly.

Today's Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway should get fans and competitors back to their homes and routines a lot quick than in years past. Like, for the first time in memory, while they're still young.

Joey Logano won the pole on Saturday for Sunday's Pocono 400 Sprint Cup Race at Pocono Raceway and smashed the track record in the process.

Ten Phoenix police officers have been killed in the line of duty in the past decade.
Another came within inches of joining that tragic list Thursday when one of several bullets fired by a suspect being chased in a west Phoenix neighborhood grazed the head of a 17-year veteran officer from the city's Maryvale precinct.
The officer, who has not yet been identified, was treated and released from a Phoenix hospital Thursday along with his partner, who was wounded in the arm during the same shootout.
The suspect, who also remained unidentified by police, was shot multiple times and remained in critical condition Thursday evening, but a police spokesman said he was expected to survive his injuries.
The mayhem unfolded in a matter of minutes about 10 a.m. Thursday around a park near 61st and Virginia avenues. The two officers, assigned to a team patrolling the neighborhood for burglars, approached a man riding his bicycle near the park.
Sgt. Tommy Thompson, a Phoenix police spokesman, said investigators could not yet determine why the bicyclist raised the officers' suspicions, but as they approached, the bicyclist fled.
The man went to a nearby house and fired at the officers, Thompson said, then entered the home through a side door.
A 63-year-old woman was inside the house, Thompson said, and the man began demanding the keys to her car as the officers were outside. The woman either refused or couldn't produce the car keys fast enough, Thompson said, so the man fled the house through the front door.
The two police officers were waiting outside and exchanged gunfire with the man, striking him several times. It was not yet clear to investigators whether the officers were wounded before or after the man fled into the house.
A neighbor's security system captured the gunfire on an audio recording: a quick round of four shots can be heard being fired, immediately followed by seven shots in rapid succession and a wave of police sirens.
One neighbor, who said she witnessed part of the incident, said the bicyclist opened fire first.
Takarra Hullaby, 24, said she and her little sister were outside when she saw a man on a purple bicycle being pursued by a police vehicle. The sisters ran inside their home and sneaked peeks to see how the incident would unfold, Hullaby said.
The suspect, who wore a checkered shirt, black pants and a baseball cap, ditched the bike on the front yard of a nearby home, tried momentarily to flee on foot, then got behind a parked car and opened fire at the officers, Hullaby said.
One of the officers, a 14-year Phoenix police veteran, will likely have a bullet lodged in his arm for the rest of his life, the president of a police labor group said.
By midday, the officers were walking and talking "and in good spirits," Phoenix police Sgt. Trent Crump said.
"It was a close call, very close call for a couple of our guys," Crump said, adding, "I don't want to call this just a graze because it isn't."
Thompson said investigators were in the early stages of their investigation and were uncertain what took the officers into the area or why they were confronting the suspect.
But with the two wounded officers walking out of the hospital and the 63-year-old female hostage unharmed, police were relieved that a few harrowing moments in a quiet west Phoenix neighborhood didn't turn out tragic.
"They literally were in the jaws of death in this encounter," Thompson said.
Police tape off the area of area where two Phoenix police officers were shot in a confrontation Thursday morning. A suspect was also shot. The incident occurred in front of the Desert Park West on West Virginia Avenue and 61st Drive.

After getting bad news about the death of this year's CNET holiday party, we wallow in sorrow for awhile but count our blessings that our two week vacation is still in tact. We move on to congratulate Logitech on their 1 billionth mouse and recommend a few of our favorite peripherals. We also wag a finger at Canada and unleash a horror story about their massacre of our beloved Sea Unicorn, the Narwhal. Shame on you, we thought you were better than us!
There are two very large problems that are tackled in today's episode. First one is the fact that our CNET holiday party has gone missing. What happened to it? It got canceled! Unbelievable, how is Wilson going to dip his pen in company ink now? We're still happy that we get to keep our extended holiday vacation though, so look forward to some exciting repeat episodes come Christmas. The next problem at hand here is the large scale massacre of the Narwhal perpetrated by our frenemies to the North. What the hell, Canada? The Sea Unicorn is, like, the most mythical creature we can actually see and you go and kill 500 of them? That's like killing Bigfoot and stuffing him in a refrigerator, it's just irresponsible. Your report card isn't looking so good either, friends...first the beheading, then the Saskatoon, now the Narwhals? What would the B-52s think? Let's pour one out for our underwater friends we've lost in this horrible display of inhumanity. :( x 10!

Dr. William R. Hoard
Hello. This might seem a bit weird but I found Dr. W.R Hoard in a 1927 article ( Sherman Daily Democrat) regarding my great Uncle Samuel Taylor Atkins whom was murdered. He testified at Sam's trial in 1927 as one of his primary physians. Dr. Hoard was a Dr. that took care of my uncle at St. Vincents sanitarium ( Sherman Texas) in may of 1927 before sam died. I have been studying sam, those that took care of him and St. Vincents. is there anything you could tell me about Dr. Hoard that you would not mind sharing? I have a bit of information on St. Vincent's I would not mind sharing. Thanks...

I note you were related to Reuben E. Witcher. I am too. He was my great-great grandfather. His son William "Dolphus" Witcher was my great-grandfather. William's only daughter, Ruby, was my grandmother.
Anyway, William had three sons: Arthur Ray, Claude E., and Lewis. I can't find any death or burial records for Arthur Ray Witcher, although I have looked and looked. I believe he was born in 1905 and died in 1961 in Lampasas, Texas.
Do you have any idea where he is buried?

Dear Michael,
I grew up in Abilene, TX, and my mother worked for Leon at Quality Printing. When I was young, I remember playing with Mallory, although I'm not sure how she was related. I believe her mother also gave me some art lessons. At any rate, I would love to catch up with Mallory. If you know her, would you have her contact me via email? Thank you.

Let's face it, if you are spending hours a day on Facebook updating your status, messaging your friends, playing games, etc. you most likely are doing it at the expense of your real life. I mean Facebook does have some value, but like many things on the Internet it can be used as a way to escape from the real world, a place to create a new world and to stimulate yourself with constant updates, games, messages, etc.
I must admit that when I first joined the site I spent a couple hours per week on it. I connected with some old friends that I hadn't seen in ages. That was pretty cool. We sent ourselves a few emails, shared a picture or two, and then the connection went pretty cold.
I also used Facebook to catch up on old girlfriends. That was also mildly entertaining for a few months. But after awhile that started to get boring too. Some of my exes are fat and others seem to have nice, normal lives. I wish them well but there's nothing there to keep me entertained.
I played a few games for awhile, but really, what's the point? It's not like you can make a living playing the games. You're sitting on your ass, playing on a computer screen for hours per day. For an older person this makes sense, but for the hundreds of millions of young people on Facebook it's a pitiful use of time. Sure, you're playing with others, but you're really not. There's no real human connection.
I know of some people who spend spend hours per day on the site. Their houses are a mess, they haven't had sex in months, and they look like a vampire that hasn't had a good drink of blood in years.
At first, it might have been hip and cool to be plugged in and updating constantly, now it's just a form of digital masturbation. And no one should be caught masturbating in public, virtual or not.

I don't know if I would put it exactly that way but yeah, in general, I agree with what you say here! I believe lots of people could benefit reading this. It is a little cruel but it is mostly reflecting the reality. In my opinion Facebook gives people, who feel their lives don't matter, the illusion they are important in an online society. Of course, that is not true for everyone but I sure know a lot of people who use it that way! I'll make sure to read more of your work.

Doing nothing is not an option
Wholesale changes, whatever they are, never work but England pride themselves on having systems in place which are supposed to ensure an eternally smooth progress through life. In a way, it is a relief that all the systems ever invented are powerless when you come up against a better team. It is the nature of sport.
But there is obviously something amiss with a side that has lost three successive matches by huge margins. It is simply wrong to keep insisting they are the best around if they keep losing. If the systems are that perfect – and we keep being told they are – there ought to be ready-made replacements. Of course, there aren't but the concept should be worth testing.
Examine the whole approach to batting
The repeated mantra of anybody being interviewed on behalf of the England team is that there is a lot of talent in that dressing room. Nobody doubts their belief but it is becoming harder to swallow.
England have made above 400 in the first innings in only one of their last 14 matches. But the signs of decline have been there since the heavy loss to Pakistan in the UAE early last year. In the 14 matches before that tour England made 400 in the first innings nine times, frequently above 500. A review of the order, especially Alastair Cook's place in it if he is to stay as captain, as well as the approach is urgently needed.
Look at the next wicketkeeper
It is wholly correct that Matt Prior has been given an extended period in which to try to rediscover his form, he has been a magnificent player for the cause. But for 10 Test matches he has been short of the necessary stuff and his poor batting form has started to affect his wicketkeeping.
Somebody else probably deserves a bash but England have made the mistake on this tour of not picking the second best wicketkeeper batsman. It is probable that Jonny Bairstow should be seriously considered for the fourth Test in Melbourne but the selectors do not view him as the long-term successor, something they should have thought about.
What to do about the gun bowlers?
There is no easy answer to this. But Jimmy Anderson and Graeme Swann have had dreadful series. Swann, who took 26 wickets in the home Ashes last summer has seven in this and has regularly been despatched. Anderson, too, has got seven wickets and both have looked shadows of their former selves.
Anderson is 31, Swann is 34 but this hardly makes them ancient for swing and spin bowlers. They should play the rest of this series but after that England have to start looking elsewhere. The planning for the 2015 Ashes cannot start a moment too soon.
Think about the next captain just in case
If the future is planned it would be fascinating to know who is designated as the next captain, just in case it does not work out for Cook.
While Cook is entitled to one bad series, it cannot be in his or the side's best interests if England lose this series 5-0 and his form fails to improve. There are other options but Prior is the vice-captain and Stuart Broad probably next in line as Twenty20 captain. It is hard to see Broad taking over. Jimmy Whittaker, the new chairman of selectors, has much to ponder.

I was wondering why the amount of money the Mayor spends is up for discussion and on display? I would think that the Mayor like anyone else has to report and explain to her bosses not the entire town. I think this type of forum is very demeaning and really should not be allowed for public discussion.
Similarly, I have seen articles/emails that were written because someone over heard a conversation during lunch at a local establishment. Personally, I do not believe this type of behavior is acceptable. In Menlo they congratulate\applaud the person who eavesdropped. I don't know who allows this very immature behavior to continue, but frankly I am embarrassed by it as a resident.
It would be nice if anyone would notice that Our Street lights are not set like all the surrounding city's. Anywhere I drive, Palo Alto or Redwood City,late in the evening the stop lights change more frequently because there is less traffic. Not in Menlo Park. I can't tell you how many times I have sat at the intersection of El Camino and Ravenswood waiting a good five minutes before I can make a left hand turn. I believe it is the same at Middle and El Camino. Why hasn't this feature been updated in Menlo Park?

the amount of money the mayor spends is up for display and public discussion because he is an elected official. He works for us. WE are his employers and have a right to know how he is spending money.

"I would think that the Mayor like anyone else has to report and explain to her bosses not the entire town"
The citizens of Menlo Park ARE the Mayor's bosses and this type of reporting is not only appropriate but necessary. If you have any doubts just Google City of Bell, Ca. scandal.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Tax tips: What car expenses are deductible?
[caption id="attachment_46224" align="alignright" width="142" caption="Raphael Tulino"][/caption]
Raphael Tulino is the spokesman for the IRS in the Orange County/San Diego area, and he's volunteered to answer your tax questions ...
Q. My brother, who normally does my tax return, says I should be deducting more in car expenses for my business. I'm more conservative but he insists there is more to be had. How does the IRS view deductible car expenses and should I deduct all I can?
A. In general, you should lower your tax bill as much as possible — legally, of course, and based on eligibility from your whole set of facts and circumstances — so that you pay no more/no less than what you owe.
If you are eligible to deduct car expenses for your business, then do consider deducting all you are eligible for. Below is some general information copied in from an IRS fact sheet:
"Ordinarily, expenses related to use of a car, van, pickup or panel truck for business can be deducted as transportation expenses. Use of larger vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, is treated differently and is not part of this discussion. In order to claim a deduction for business use of a car or truck, a taxpayer must have ordinary and necessary costs related to one or more of the following:
- Traveling from one work location to another within the taxpayer's tax home area. (Generally, the tax home is the entire city or general area where the taxpayer's main place of business is located, regardless of where he or she resides.)
- Visiting customers.
- Attending a business meeting away from the regular workplace.
- Getting from home to a temporary workplace when the taxpayer has one or more regular places of work. (These temporary workplaces can be either within or outside taxpayer's tax home area.)
Expenses related to travel away from home overnight are travel expenses. However, if a taxpayer uses a car while traveling away from home overnight on business, the rules for claiming car or truck expenses are the same as stated above.
It is important to note that costs related to travel between a taxpayer's home and regular place of work are commuting expenses and are not deductible. Taxpayers can choose to use either the standard mileage rate or actual expenses to compute their allowable business deduction. They may want to figure the deduction using both methods to see which provides a larger deduction."
Do note that if you use your car for both business and personal purposes, you must divide your expenses between business and personal use. You can divide your expense based on the miles driven for each purpose.
IRS Publication 463, Travel, Entertainment, Gift and Car Expenses, is also an excellent resource. See Page 15.
Sometimes reader questions address California tax issues as well as the IRS. Danial Tahara, a state Franchise Tax Board spokesman, joins us for this answer.
Q. I am a California resident, but work for company in South Dakota. Half of the time I am in South Dakota and the other here in California. There is no state tax in South Dakota, but I am paying full California tax even for time I work in another state. Can I get some kind of tax credit for the time I was working in South Dakota?
From Daniel Tahara:
A.Unfortunately, you would not be eligible for a tax credit for your South Dakota income.
[caption id="attachment_49899" align="alignleft" width="148" caption="Daniel Tahara, FTB"][/caption]
California residents are taxed on income from all sources, including South Dakota.
Sometimes taxpayers are taxed by both California and another state on the same income. To prevent the income from being taxed twice, either California or the other state will generally allow a credit to offset the taxes paid to the other state. This is known as the other state tax credit.
In your case, the income was not taxed in South Dakota (since there is no individual state income tax there). Therefore, you would not be eligible to claim the other state tax credit on your California tax return for the income earned in South Dakota.
For more information about the other state tax credit please go to Franchise Tax Board website and see California Schedule S.
From Raphael Tulino, IRS spokesman:
A. Despite the fact that you are splitting time between South Dakota and California, your federal tax obligations will most likely be unaffected. In other words, federal tax law normally applies in South Dakota as it does here in California.
That said, and this may or may not be relevant for you, do take quick note of the "main home" and "tax home" concepts. Generally, your main home is where you spend most of your time and the tax home is generally where you earn your living.
The tax home concept may come into play, for example, when determining deductible employee business expenses. More on tax home is in IRS Publication 463, Travel, Entertainment, Gift and Car Expenses. See Pages 3 and 4. You would generally use your main home address on your 1040 tax form.
Q. I will be receiving three 1099-C forms for 2011 from credit card companies I paid off in April. They had been in arrears and I used a reverse mortgage to eliminate them. The collection companies agreed to accept less than owed, neglecting to tell me about the 099-C liability I had incurred.
Now that I am aware of the situation I would like to know which form to file for 2011 taxes. At what percent will these "incomes" be taxed? And is it possible to offset monies owed with charitable contributions? I would rather give my money elsewhere than Uncle Sam.
A. IRS Form 1099-C is the Cancellation of Debt third party reporting form. If you have canceled debt then you could be liable for taxes on the debt that has been forgiven. The IRS provides much more on this in Tax Topic 431, "Canceled Debt – Is it Taxable or Not?"
In addition, I'm copying in a paragraph from a recent answer in this column as it may apply to you:
IRS Publication 4681, Canceled Debts, Foreclosures, Repossessions and Abandonments, outlines (among other things) other situations where canceled debt income may be excluded for tax purposes. If you qualify to exclude this income, Form 982, Reduction of Tax Attributes Due to Discharge of Indebtedness, must be filed with your tax return.
For your 2010 tax filing, you would put canceled debt on Line 21, "Other Income," on your 1040 tax form. See more on this in the IRS 1040 instructions, Page 27.
Have you got a tax question? Send it to email@example.com and put "tax question" in the subject line. Please include your name and phone number. They will not be published.

Some have complained that all I do is defend President Obama. I wonder how many of those who have complained have noticed that my defenses of Obama have all been against attacks by conservatives…every single one. None of the conservatives ever bothered to ask what I didn't like about Obama.
But I believe in looking at the big picture, at a person's performance as a whole, rather than at this or that issue where I agree or disagree with that person. In school, we call these 'report cards', while in most occupations, we call them 'performance evaluations'. The P.E.'s may be more professional, but report cards are more accessible…more fun. While we can all imagine what kind of report card most conservatives would give Obama, not everyone sees things from the progressive point of view. Perhaps the conservatives will learn something from seeing things as progressives do. In my experience they're not known for their ability to empathize, but I'll try anyway.
Economy: A+. How can anyone honestly call it otherwise? As bad as things still seem to be, when compared to America's recoveries from recessions past, we're recovering in record time. The recession officially ended in August when the economy stopped receding and began to grow. This will mark the shortest interval between the bottom point of the stock market and the end of the recession since at least WWII. Furthermore, if we begin having positive job growth before August, that will be the quickest turnaround in employment following a recession since at least 1900. These are both despite the fact that this 'Great Recession' was by nearly all accounts the worst economic upheaval in America since the Great Depression. In the end, 'winning ugly' is still winning, and the numbers are clear. President Obama richly deserves an A+ on the economy.
Health Care: C. Too many promises made during the election campaign were broken, and instead of giving the health insurance industry its richly-deserved comeuppance, we get the proverbial half a loaf: no public option, no true universal health care, legally-enforced membership in health plans, but in return there will be no more denial of care for frivolous reasons, and the coverage for adults will not begin until 2014, and the plan should – should – add little or nothing to the deficit (which could not be said of ANY of the Republican plans). My oldest son will be able to get health care in 2014 that he can't get now. Obama's done that for my son — but the Republican plans would have done NOTHING for my son. That means a lot, come the first Tuesday of November 2012.
The 'War on Terror': B. President Obama's actually closely followed what he promised during the campaign. He said he'd begin pulling the troops out of Iraq, and we are on track to have all combat troops out by August of next year, just like he said. Also, I heard on the radio this morning that in December 2009, there were NO American combat troops killed in Iraq; I hope that's true. Obama said he'd increase the troops in Afghanistan, and he is doing so in compliance with the requests of the generals on the ground. Furthermore, the FBI/CIA et al have thwarted quite a few attacks, apparently. Some have gotten through, but it is flatly impossible to stop them all – which is something the conservatives don't seem to realize as they vilify President Obama for thus far doing a significantly better job guarding America against terrorists than the previous administration did. Obama could do better, IMO, but he's already head-and-shoulders above the White House's previous occupant who apparently cared little for the troops that he sent into harm's way.
The Justice Department: D. Why? Because President Obama needs to grow a pair and get the Bush appointees out of the courts. He could do this with 'recess appointments'. He also failed to pressure the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute those who committed torture — and those who approved and ordered it — under the last administration. He has not closed down Gitmo as he promised…although since two Gitmo alumni that the Bush administration released apparently went to Yemen and joined al-Qaeda, perhaps he is right to not be too hasty about how to close down this abomination, this travesty against American values and tradition.
The Environment: C. President Obama is striving as best he can to get with the rest of the world concerning global warming…and to get the rest of the world on board. The fact that there are so many domestic conservative Luddites opposing him cannot be used as an excuse for not doing more. He also should have earmarked FAR more of the stimulus money to green technology.
America's Energy Independence: C. This grade is strongly linked to the grade on the environment, and President Obama's failure to support green technology with more than words and campaign promises.
Bipartisanship: B. President Obama has striven mightily to include the Republicans and their ideas in his efforts — witness the 181 earmarks included in the Health Reform bill passed by the House of Representatives, despite the vehement opposition by all the House Republicans but one. Obama would get an 'A', but he has allowed his desire for bipartisanship to hinder his efforts to fix the American health care system.
International Diplomacy and Foreign Relations: A+. Despite all the claims otherwise by the conservatives, there would have been almost no possibility of a popular uprising by the moderates in Iran without Obama's diplomacy and outreach. The very fact of his election bettered our relations with much of the world, including the Islamic community, most especially the most populous Muslim country on the planet – Indonesia. What the conservatives don't understand is that when people feel warmly towards a country's leader, one is much less likely to attack that country, and more likely to aid that country against a threat. Not for nothing is the old saying, "You can draw more flies with honey than with vinegar." Obama understands this. The Rabid Right doesn't, not at all, as is shown by their perpetual perception of Obama's diplomatic efforts as proofs of political weakness, even as modern versions of Neville Chamberlain's policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany.
Commander-in-Chief: B. Though he has not yet been tested by a true crisis, President Obama is obviously much more circumspect about his use of American troops, and is more respectful of the risks they must face. However, he's shown that he is not afraid to use force if need be, as is evinced by the coming increase in troops in Afghanistan, the predator strikes in Pakistan and Yemen, and even the rumored use of Blackwater mercenaries in covert ops in Pakistan.
Domestic Policy (not including Health Reform and the Justice Department): B. One of the first things President Obama did after taking office was to sign the Lily Ledbetter Act, preventing further such miscarriages of justice allowed by the Conservative tradition of ignoring the law and for all intents and purposes ascribing to the business world Alistair Crowley's 'prophecy' that "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law." Furthermore, Obama's striving to pass the creation of a new cabinet-level department, the Consumer Financial Protection Agency, and also created the Food Safety Working Group, which is tasked with protecting America's food supply and is jointly overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture. However, he has failed to repeal that grand violation of the Constitution by the Bush administration, the Patriot Act.
It should be noted that I have not included a grade on his personal morality, for 'morality' is not always a desirable trait in kings – or their modern equivalent, presidents..for in the final analysis, the results such leaders bring about for the countries they lead are all that matter.
In summary, then, I'd give President Obama a solid grade of B, possibly B+. I strongly disagree with some things he's done or failed to do, but overall, in the big picture, he's done quite well in the face of two wars and the worst economic turmoil since the Great Depression.
Am I wrong? Possibly. I once wrote an op-ed for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer congratulating Bush 43 after the first democratic election held in Iraq. I had been a Democrat for about ten years at the time. I didn't realize then the extent to which his administration had ignored domestic and international law, and I did not know then that he had knowingly initiated the invasion on false pretenses. So I know that I can be wrong…but in this case I doubt it. President Obama's doing very, very well so far. I can only hope he eventually makes right on his failings that I enumerated above.Powered by Sidelines

You have done a superlative job and I could not have asked for more. Your professionalism, expertise, tenacity, and focus are admirable and exemplary. These are ugly and difficult things to go through and the decisions are not easy, but I have protected and provided for my children which is what was most important to me. Wishing you the best of success and by the way---- you would make a great judge!

I am very happy with the representation I received by Ms. Major. I have and I will continue to recommend her to my friends and co-workers. Could not have asked for better results or a more professional and competent attorney.
Posted by Edward
Ms. Major is hands down the best lawyer that I have met. I hired her to help me through my divorce process, and she went above and beyond all of my expectations. She was professional, got me fantastic results in my case and was entirely supportive and motivational throughout this stressful process. Ms. Major is worth every penny and I'd highly recommend her.
Posted by Mike
Julianne is a top notch Family Law attorney. She is professional, thorough, detailed oriented and very aggressive yet sensitive to the needs of her clients. She has high ethical standards, knowledgeable in regards to the law and the facts of your case and has a strong work ethic. As a client, I was happy to have her on my side because she was not only a zealous advocate, but also did not hesitate to give a frank assessment. I highly recommend her and if I ever need another divorce attorney again Julianne would be my first phone call.

Britain's cinemas shrugged off the threat from ever more sophisticated home-entertainment equipment to record further growth in the first half of 2010.
Cinemagoers spent a monthly average of £86.1m on tickets in the first half of 2010, and box-office receipts of £516.7m between January and June were 3 per cent ahead of the first six months of 2009, figures from the Film Distributors' Association (FDA) showed. Distributors released 288 titles in UK cinemas in the first half of this year, 18 more than in the same period last year.
James Cameron's spectacular Avatar was the most popular film, followed by Alice In Wonderland and Iron Man 2. The figures were released amid rumours that the private-equity investor Permira is plotting a major investment in European cinema chains and has approached Vue Entertainment.

In response to overwhelming support by NCAA Division III coaches, the American Football Coaches Association began publishing a Division III Top 25 Coaches' Poll in 1999.
Prior to 1999, there were no coaches' polls for any NCAA divisions other than Football Bowl Subdivision. The NCAA had published a regional poll for Division III prior to 1999, but discontinued the poll because of changes in the selection process for the Division III playoffs that took effect in 1999.
The regional poll had been used to rank teams for consideration for the 16-team playoff tournament. But in 1999, the Division III playoffs expanded to 28 teams and the regional format was no longer used.
The weekly release of the Division II and III polls each Monday makes that day, on average, the busiest day of the week each month on the AFCA website during September, October and November.

The Division III poll follows the same basic format as the USA Today Coaches' Poll. The 2012 Division III Board of Coaches will have 42 voters, representing all Division III conferences.
The Division III Coaches' Poll will be released on Mondays beginning on September 21 and will run through the completion of the regular season in mid-November. A final poll will be released on the Monday following the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl.
2015 Division III Poll Notes
Forty-one schools spent at least one week ranked in the Division III Coaches Poll in 2015 ... Sixteen schools were ranked in the Top 25 all 10 weeks the poll was released in 2015: Mount Union (Ohio), St. Thomas (Minn.), Linfield (Ore.), Wisconsin-Whitewater, Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Mary Hardin-Baylor (Texas), Wesley (Del.), Wabash (Ind.), Wheaton (Ill.), Johns Hopkins (Md.), St. John's (Minn.), Thomas More (Ky.), Hardin-Simmons (Texas), Wartburg (Iowa), Wisconsin-Platteville, John Carroll (Ohio) ... Mount Union has appeared in every Top 25 since the AFCA first released the poll in 1999 ... The Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference had five schools ranked in the Top 25 poll at least once in 2015 (St. Thomas, Concordia-Moorhead, Bethel, St. John's and Gustavus Adolphus) … The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC), Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC), New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC), the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) and the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) all had three schools ranked in the Top 25 this season: (Wisconsin-Whitewater, -Platteville and -Oshkosh for the WIAC; Mount Union, John Carroll and Ohio Northern for the OAC; Wesley, Rowan (N.J.) and Salisbury (Md.) for the NJAC; Wheaton, North Central (Ill.) and Illinois Wesleyan for the CCIW; and Wabash, Wittenberg (Ohio) and DePauw (Ind.) for the NCAC) … Washington & Lee (Va.) began the season unranked but was No. 16 in the final poll, which represented the largest jump by a team that wasn't ranked in the season-opening poll.

Hyperic Cozies Up to Amazon EC2 Apps
Hyperic joins RightScale in offering an application management solution for Amazon.com's Amazon Web Services EC2 cloud computing offering. The enterprise application is part of Hyperic's HQ 4.0 suite, which is designed to help customers manage the performance of Web applications virtual and cloud computing environments. Hyperic already provides management for the Google App Engine.Hyperic, which sells software agents to correct performance, configuration and security issues in physical and virtual computing systems, is cozying up to the Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud service.
Hyperic Nov. 11 said it will offer its HQ Enterprise 4.0 suite on Amazon EC2. Hyperic will offer an AMI (Amazon Machine Image) preconfigured for Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Storage).
The EC2 distribution will be available later in November on Amazon.com's DevPay service, with Hyperic charging based on the amount of management data being collected on the HQ Server.
Why is this so important? Data centers have a set capacity for handling application traffic and allocate resources to match capacity. Businesses deploying on the Amazon EC2 cloud, where customers host applications and other software, can now use Hyperic HQ to tune Web and application server capacity to match computing requirements with workload demands.
Such management technology is important at a time when cloud computing and virtualization technology are becoming more prevalent in businesses. While these technologies may make it easier and faster to serve Web applications to business customers, they also have made the management of such Web applications a bigger task.
Hyperic CEO Javier Soltero said in a statement that administrators who are used to managing 15 to 50 servers in a single data center can now be responsible for 500 or more servers sprawled across the data center and beyond the firewall.
Hyperic HQ, which manages over 3,500 VMware and XenServer virtualization deployments, aims to solve the chaos of virtual server sprawl.
Also, after auto-discovery registers the new resources into inventory, new server cloning in HQ 4.0 allows configuration profiles for checking log data collection, security and services to be immediately applied. This means monitoring and warnings of performance problems can be implemented in less than a minute.
Finally, a new capacity planning function analyzes historical performance on the fly and projects the future resource trends of any management metric. This allows users to more quickly assess and predict trends, which helps them better manage capacity needs at a time when growing computing costs clash with increasingly tight corporate budgets.
Hyperic's move to ally itself with Amazon.com follows that of RightScale, which released a configuration and management tool to make it easier for developers to deploy and control servers and images on the Amazon EC2 cloud computing platform. Hyperic in August released a free tool for managing the performance of Web applications in the Google App Engine cloud computing service.

The best quality of these apartments though is the location. A few mins walk to Federation square, Flinders St rail station, Melbournes lanes, restaurants and Bourke St mall.

Michael Bennett, Film Four London, 2005March 24, 2005
2003 British Council / New Zealand Writers Foundation UK Scholarship
Filmmaker and screenwriter Michael Bennett (Jubilee, Mataku, Kerosene Creek, Outrageous Fortune) was the 2005 winner of the FilmFour Award for screenwriters, set up by The New Zealand Writers Foundation (now Script to Screen) and The British Council New Zealand.
The groundbreaking UK film company, FilmFour, selected Michael to spend six weeks in its feature film development division. FilmFour is internationally recognised for its innovative and diverse projects that include Trainspotting, The Motorcycle Diaries and Me and You and Everyone We Know.
"The process of submerging in the projects on the FilmFour slate is a huge blast of revelation, a real eye-opening epiphany that film can be so many different things … there are just so many more ideas and voices and stories and ways of telling stories than we've dreamed of here. It's a creatively liberating and inspiring experience."
Michael Bennett
Inside FilmFour – Michael Bennett
Something weird has happened to London. Previously this city ranked somewhere between Jakarta and Manila in terms of places I'd like to live. But in the 18 years between my visits here, someone has trotted about and sprinkled fairy dust all over the place. It's beautiful. It's sunny – it's ridiculously warm – the trees are green – despite the bombs everyone seems cheerful, relaxed. Optimistic even. It's Wonderland. Descending into the underground does entail a certain degree of sphincter-clenching. But exercising the entire muscular system on a daily basis is never a bad thing.
A little update on what's been happening with the FilmFour attachment. Before arriving here, I was in Los Angeles at the National Geographic All Roads festival. Amazing people and amazing films – Native American filmmakers, Aboriginal filmmakers, Kazakstanis, Tibetans, a woman making a film about Palestinian hip-hop artists, an Afghani who risked imprisonment and torture to document what's happened in his country. While a lot of festivals seem to be about the Industry, this one was uniquely about people and about cultures. Something special. And being with filmmakers that literally put their lives on the line to pursue their art rather puts into perspective our own 'horror stories' about getting our work made.
Incidentally New Zealand really does have the best coffee known to man. The state of American coffee reflects the state of their nation. The coffee is horrid – truly horrid – they serve it in cups that hold about a litre. So they're constantly wired and thinking with little calmness or clarity. Which explains why they talk so fast and kill each other so much. I believe if you could get a good soy flat white in Washington DC, we wouldn't have this mess in Iraq right now.
FilmFour has perhaps eighty feature films in different stages of development at any given time, it invests in perhaps two or three times as many feature films each year as are made in New Zealand. With the breadth and range of films at various stages of development, the development team is correspondingly large. And things happen fast, projects fly about with the speed and relentlessness of the black cabs that race round Oxford Circus on a Friday night – new pitches are heard daily, new properties are constantly looked at for their filmic potential, projects are suddenly greenlit and need to be readied to go, the scripts and treatments and ideas and revisions don't stop coming.
My introduction was on familiar ground, spending the first week working and advising on a slate of short films co-funded by FilmFour to help identify and promote talent they may subsequently develop features with – the scheme, co-incidentally, that funded Wasp, the short film that pipped Taika at the post at the Oscars in March. It was a buzz to work with a bunch of motivated talented upcoming filmmakers, and it was interesting to see the similarities between our short film industries in terms of the strengths- and the weaknesses – of the different projects. A major point of difference being that New Zealand short filmmakers tend to have far better teeth.
Subsequently I've worked on a variety of feature projects on the development slate, from a post-terrorist view of England, to a new take on the Boston Strangler tale, to an out-and-out horror – from possible adaptations of books and theatrical pieces, to pitches of entirely new material, to projects that are being urgently readied for imminent production.
Gotta say, I've been overwhelmed at the degree to which I've been trusted to become a part of, and to contribute in considerable depth to, the development process here. It's all very much on the plus side already and everything augers very promisingly for my remaining time here. The black cabs keep coming – the sun keeps shining – it's Wonderland. With some shortcomings in the area of dental hygiene.
My appreciation once more to the NZ Writers Foundation and the British Council for facilitating my attachment here – and to FilmFour and Katherine Butler for welcoming me into the fold.

After Manchester United won in Turkey to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League on Tuesday, Sir Alex Ferguson said he was pleased his team could now concentrate on the domestic challenge of catching Chelsea.
The problem was 24 hours later Chelsea matched their qualification and can also focus on the Premier League. Unlike United, they do not even have the distraction of the Carling Cup. Tellingly the Chelsea players spent little time celebrating their now-routine European progress. Within an hour of Wednesday's despatch of Spartak Moscow they were turning their attention to Sunday's trip to Anfield.
"Liverpool away" does not have the menacing ring of old, not when Northampton and Blackpool have won on Merseyside this season, but the Chelsea players were quick to stress they will be treating their faltering rivals with the utmost respect, especially in the wake of Liverpool's recent League improvement.
Salomon Kalou, who laid on the critical opening goal for Nicolas Anelka on Wednesday, said: "Liverpool have not started the season well, but we know it's still going to be a tough game. They are still a big club with big players. If their players are on top form – and they are coming back to a good level – it is a difficult game.
"It's never easy to go to Anfield and win. We managed to do it near the end of last season which gave us a big boost, but in a match like this it doesn't matter about League positions.
"When Chelsea go to Liverpool there is always an edge. I think it started from Mourinho and Benitez. I wasn't at the club then but I have heard in the dressing room many times the story of the rivalry between the clubs in those Champions League games. Every game between us is tough."
Petr Cech echoed Kalou. "Liverpool have done well in recent games and got a bit of confidence back," he said. "They have something to build from and this is a massive game for them because they really want to show they can compete for the top four. But we go there top of the League, and we want to stay there."
"They will try to use this match as a reference point," added Didier Drogba. "It is an important match for them and they will give us a lot of problems. We have to know how to solve them."
Not much has troubled Chelsea so far this season. Even on nights when they play moderately for long periods, as on Wednesday, Carlo Ancelotti's side are too strong for most opponents. When Kalou said, "we can win every game, that's for sure," he was being realistic, not arrogant.
As if to underline that Kalou added: "That is as long as we keep working hard. There will be games when we lose or drop some points. But we have to enjoy where we are at the moment and remain as positive as possible. We are five points clear in the League and the goal is to be even further ahead by Christmas."

|Re: Sorting algorithms used in derby
|Tue, 20 Sep 2011 14:27:26 GMT
> We are working on a project for optimizing sorting algorithms for SSDs using derby. > > 1) It is not very clear how the algorithm is implemented for sorting. Are there any documents that explain how it is implemented? I don't know of any Derby-specific documents. I believe that the basic technique is the one described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_sorting#External_merge_sort > > 2) does any one know how the files are accessed during externalMergeSort? I believe that the sorter uses the general Store "conglomerate" library to manage its temporary files, so the files are accessed in mostly the same way as other Derby storage files.

Style: 39640784 Colour:
Made from our Beach jersey fabric this flowy midi dress features an uneven hem with a V-neckline in front and low V in back. Adjustable tie wrap.
FP Beach
One of nine exclusive, in-house labels. Effortless seaside styles.
so comfortable, sheer top
i bought this dress because it's basically convertible to any size, and i'm currently very very pregnant. wound up getting a medium in black, and it pretty well met my expectations overall. unfortunately, what you can't tell in the photos is that the fabric is *so* light that though the rest of the dress gathers nicely when tied and layers in a way that's fairly modest, because the top is just a single layer, it's very sheer-and that goes doubly if you're on the bustier side, like me. i was hoping to be able to wear it out as-is, but now i have to find the right piece to layer with. so, this one's best as a cover-up, or a top layer.-

Everything England do seems to work. James Tredwell, an unsung off-spinner from Kent, came into their side last night for his second one-day international at home. The upshot was entirely predictable – Tredwell caused key Australian batsmen to panic and with Alastair Cook scoring 58 and Ravi Bopara 52 not out, the batsmen finished the job.
England had dropped three chances when Tredwell came into the attack in the delayed fifth one-day international. He struck with his fourth ball when David Warner swept and was beaten by the turn. Panic swept through the tourists' ranks, as if they knew the English bowlers were coming to get them.
They were six wickets to the bad by the time George Bailey scored 46 from 41 balls with three fours and two sixes but if 145 for 7 was riches indeed compared to what had looked likely, they were still well short of the total they probably had in mind.
They could have done with winning the toss in moist conditions, given that the match did not start until 5.30pm. But it was crucial to make some sort of start and they never looked like doing so.
Peter Forrest decided to turn for two with the ball in Samit Patel's hands at long on and was run out by a perfect throw. Patel had been one of the guilty trio who spurned catches. He had been much too relaxed in taking a top edge offered by Warner at third man. It seemed to matter not.
Matthew Wade, promoted to open in the absence of Shane Watson, who has flown home with a calf injury, had been dropped twice, by Jimmy Anderson and Tredwell, both at slip. But Wade never looked like making the most of his fortune. Barely had Forrest reached the dressing rooms than he danced down the pitch to Tredwell and was stumped by Craig Kieswetter.
Michael Clarke, Australia's captain, dabbed a ball from Stuart Broad to point and set off for a single. Eoin Morgan threw down the stumps.
The match had been reduced to 32 overs a side because of heavy morning rain. It seemed as though Australia might not require their full allocation. Never can an Australian side have been quite so continuously off the pace in this country. Clearly, England must catch better but Australia have by far the bigger difficulties. Back home, the chairman of selectors, John Inverarity, has conceded that batting resources are slender. But in exposing them to England's bowling now the risk is that they are undermined for good.
Steve Smith is one of those in whom the selectors continue to place their faith. He seemed to be launching a recovery of sorts, twice in one over hitting Steve Finn for four, when he glanced Ravi Bopara's first ball down the leg side for Kieswetter to take the catch.
Off the first ball of Bopara's next over, David Hussey hung out his bat to give a catch behind to Kieswetter. At 86 for 6 with barely 10 overs left there were not many options for Australia, but James Pattinson helped Bailey in his mild salvage operation at the end of the innings.

By Maria Mora
When my husband and I were dating, he traveled to Paris with his family and sent me dozens of emails about all the romantic places where he wished to take me. "Someday," he wrote, "we'll return to France to enjoy all this romance, these incredible sights and these beautiful Paris hotels."
After all, Paris is for lovers — the creme de la creme of romantic getaways. For couples lucky enough to travel to Paris this year, you won't want to miss these romantic excursions sure to bring out the "oh la la" in you.
1. Take in a museum… or two, or five. On May 15, Paris participates in the Long Night of Museums with free entrance into many of Paris's top museums, including the Louvre (participating museums are added up to the event day). Dress up, enjoy dinner for two, then stroll the hallways of some of the world's most remarkable museums — even after the stroke of midnight.
2. Stay in a historic Paris hotel. Paris hotels come in all shapes and sizes. For romantic getaways, stay in a charming historic hotel like the Hotel Scribe Paris, a landmark designed by Jacques Grange. For longer stays, travel out of the city for a few days to stay in a historic chateau.
3. Have lunch at a sidewalk café. Skip the beret and make like a true Paris native at one of the city's iconic sidewalk cafes. Despite being known for heavy sauces and plenty of butter, French cuisine is often quite light. Have a salad, some fresh bread and fish so you can stay light on your feet while you explore the city.
4. Enjoy the view. Head to the top of one of Paris's scenic overlooks. If the Eiffel Tower is too cliché for your taste, try the Cathedral of Notre Dame or the Arc de Triomphe. Take a camera with you to capture the moment with your loved one.
5. Go gothic. Forget black boots and fishnets, I'm referring to the mysterious romanticism of famous Paris cemeteries and gothic architecture. (I'm far more likely to hold my husband's hand if I'm a little bit spooked!) Check out Jim Morrison's grave at the Cimitiere du Pere Lachaise or tour the Paris Opera.
