Leading healthcare provider gets a new data centre infrastructure in four months, plus improved IP telephony
Introducing new service-enhancing applications such as digital imaging and electronic patient records used to be unthinkable at one of the leading healthcare organisations in the US. The company's single production data centre was under such strain that instead of being an asset it actually posed a business continuity risk.
BT helped solve the problem by creating the network infrastructure to support a second data centre in California within just four months. It then set to work on the organization's patchwork of IP telephony systems, stitching them together to provide cheap, reliable calls. So the healthcare provider's business is looking a lot healthier.
The BT system engineers brought in to work on the early deployments of VoIP found key problems and recommended solutions that made our VoIP deployments much stronger and scalable for the future. Having BT provide guidance before a larger rollout saved us a great deal of time and rework."
- Senior Network Engineer, Integrated US Healthcare Organisation
When eight million people depend on your organisation for their health and wellbeing, you need to ensure nothing can put your systems in jeopardy. Hence the concern at an integrated healthcare organisation running around 30 medical centres across nine US states and Washington DC.
Prior to 2007, the organisation had one production data centre in California, with two subsidiary data centres for test and development work. Not only was the 20-year-old production data centre running out of capacity, to the point where it was proving impossible to cool the growing computer and storage estate, but also the architecture was not resilient. A disaster could have brought the organisation to a halt.
The situation could only get worse, as a Senior Network Engineer at the organisation explains: "Regulatory compliance, together with advanced applications such as digital imaging and electronic patient records, are just some of the factors that are causing data processing and storage requirements to shoot through the roof. That brings the need for a sharp focus on business continuity, because today information technology is literally our lifeblood." Plus, he adds: "We also knew that we needed to embrace IP telephony, which would allow us to introduce advanced network applications and encourage more flexible and collaborative working right across our company."
The organisation decided to create a second production data centre at a location in California. It then selected BT for a fast-track project to create the IP-based network infrastructure the new computing and storage estate would be built on.
We compared potential suppliers against a matrix that covered technical responses and pricing, together with the availability of reference customers to prove that they had the necessary capabilities," says the Senior Network Engineer. "Not only did BT score well but it also showed a very proactive and commercially flexible approach to the bidding process."
BT was able to get a new data centre network infrastructure up and running within four months. Then it contributed expert knowledge to a phased implementation of IP telephony across the organisation.
There had already been some activity prior to BT's involvement, but site-specific IP telephony implementations by a third-party vendor had met with mixed success. So the first task for BT was to troubleshoot what had gone before.
The Senior Network Engineer says: "The BT system engineers brought in to work on the early deployments of VoIP found key problems and recommended solutions that made our VoIP deployments much stronger and scalable for the future. Having BT provide guidance before a larger rollout saved us a great deal of time and rework."
In fact, BT created a centralised reference architecture that would enable the healthcare organisation to more easily and safely introduce IP telephony at and between other sites.
The data centre network infrastructure project went live under budget and ahead of schedule, enabling the healthcare provider to start loading applications such as its electronic patient record initiative, with substantial benefits for the organisation and its patients.
Just as importantly, the organisation was for the first time able to turn its attention to a coherent business continuity and disaster recovery strategy, giving stakeholders much greater peace of mind. In addition, the BT IP telephony analytical work not only improved service to users but also closed some serious security loopholes left from previous installations.
The Senior Network Engineer concludes: "Our partnership with BT is blossoming, but here on the West Coast the company's capabilities must be one of the industry's best-kept secrets. With the truly rewarding experience that we are having right now in working with BT, I don't think that situation will last much longer."
The data centre project
Before BT got involved, the healthcare organisation had already dimensioned a Cisco-based data centre network infrastructure at a conceptual level. BT technicians worked alongside the healthcare organisation to turn those top-level plans into detailed specifications. A BT project manager partnered with the organisation's IT team to fine tune implementation plans, develop realistic milestones and coordinate the many phases involved.
The BT offer included:
- Verifying and procuring the necessary equipment
- Staging the network at its Oakdale deployment facility
- Stress testing a subset of the data centre architecture at a BT San Francisco POP
- Implementing and configuring the Cisco hardware at the data centre
This was all achieved within a non-negotiable four-month timescale. BT's partnership with Cisco meant equipment orders could be turned around in just two weeks. Says the Senior Network Engineer: "The BT team was fast-paced, responsive, flexible and, above all, worked in a truly collaborative fashion."
The IP telephony project
With the data centre project substantially complete, BT and the healthcare organisation turned their attention to the IP telephony system that would run over the Cisco-based network.
In the first phase of an organisation-wide adoption of IP telephony, standalone Cisco Unified CallManager installations are being interconnected. For example, BT has deployed 130 Cisco IP Phones at the new data centre. The IP telephony functionality is provided across the network, making economical use of an existing Cisco Unified CallManager at another site.
Besides creating a central reference architecture for IP telephony, BT provided training for the healthcare organisation's people, not only to help them spot and avoid the mistakes that had previously been made but also to understand how to properly create quality of service hierarchies in the Cisco network.

I normally wouldn't write a post on a production announcement, but this one is making major political waves in the mediasphere: Turns out Gus van Sant and Matt Damon's new film "The Promised Land," is being dubbed an "anti-fracking movie," and will likely bring the controversial drilling practive into the public sphere, far more than Josh Fox, director of Oscar nominee "Gasland," could ever have hoped.
According to Variety, Damon and Krasinski will star "as rival corporate executives, with the former thesp playing a character whose life is thrown into disarray after he arrives in a small town." The film also stars Frances McDormand, Rosemarie DeWitt and Hal Holbrook, who "will play an engineer who lives in the town and opposes a corporate takeover being led by Damon."
Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a drilling process for extracting natural gas from shale rock. The procedure has caused concern due in part to the chemicals injected into the wells for drilling, which may taint nearby drinking water.
With Fox working on a sequel to "Gasland" and "The Promised Land" going into production this summer, concerns about fracking will likely explode into a major hot button topic sometime next year.

Directed by Rene Daalder
Starring Derrel Maury, Andrew Stevens, Robert Carradine, Kimberly Beck, Cheryl Rainbeaux Smith
Rated R
You're the new kid. You're buds with one of the members of the innermost, most powerful clique at Central High. But you're a rebel. A loner. You don't go for this clique-stuff, no sir.
So what happens? Massacre at Central High, that's what.
Vets of 70s drive-ins, early 80s cable, or the days of VHS and Betamax may remember this cult classic, the first feature from writer-director Rene Daalder whose credits-listing as "Renee" might cause some to think mistakenly it's a woman at the helm. (It's a man, baby.)
Holland-born Daalder got his start working with Russ Meyer (Supervixens, Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens), who is described on Daalder's website as the person responsible for the Dutchman's "initiation in all things American." (Just imagine that for a moment, if you will.) Sounds like Daalder worked as a cameraman for Meyer and co-wrote an ultimately unproduced script for Meyer as well.
As far as its theatrical life is concerned, Daalder's low-budgeted drama came and went without a whole lot of fanfare. This despite the praise of several critics including Roger Ebert who cited it as one of the better films of 1976, then heralded it again as a "Guilty Pleasure" a few years later on an episode of "At the Movies," the PBS version of the show Ebert co-hosted with Gene Siskel. Danny Peary also singled it out for analysis in his second Cult Movies reader.
In the decades since, Massacre has been frequently mentioned as an influential, early example of the ultra-violent high school revenge flick, with several later films -- 1989's Heathers, in particular -- clearly demonstrating its influence. It's getting-back-at-the-bullies premise is also sometimes evoked in discussions of real-life high school massacres, most especially the one that occurring at Columbine High in Colorado in 1999.
The title cries exploitative horror, though there's certainly more going on here than your typical grindhouse fare. It fact, the movie ultimately goes beyond the simple revenge formula to try to present a kind of Animal Farm-type allegory about power and its effect on us. I wouldn't go so far as to say the film entirely succeeds in advancing some sort of coherent "message" about such. But it does get you thinkin' -- perhaps more than you might expect to do when watching a film with such a title.
As the opening credits roll, we see the new kid, David, running on the California beach, accompanied by a melodramatic tune declaring "You're at the crossroads of your life." Weird "flash-forwards" are intercut here, previews of some of the violence to come.
Soon we're at school with David, effectively played by a brooding Derrel Maury. With David we witness the three bullies -- Bruce, Paul, and Craig -- in the hall roughing up Spoony, a pre-Revenge of the Nerds Robert Carradine for having drawn a swastika on a locker.
"It's a social protest," Spoony explains. "That's very sixties," says Bruce, and the rough-housing continues.
That opening exchange does set up what seems like a kind of conflict between an earlier, idealistic time (the 60s) and the more practical, self-interested present (the 70s) where all that "summer of love" crap no longer flies. In any event, David makes a bad first impression when he seems to object to Spoony's abuse.
Eventually David ends up in a student lounge, a space seemingly ruled by the bullies along with David's friend Mark, played by Andrew Stevens, a familiar face that fans of movies about girls might remember from 1982's The Seduction (starring Morgan Fairchild).
Actually, the whole campus is pretty clearly under the bullies' dominion. It's a weird world, Central High, where no teachers are ever shown, nor do we meet any parents or other adults for pretty much the entire film.
"This place is a fucking country club," is how Mark describes the scene to David. "Gotta be able to change your whole style here," he instructs. "You gotta drop that loner shit." It's pretty obvious from the eye-rolls that David isn't comfortable with his friend's advice.
The first half-hour rapidly establishes the dynamics of power at Central High while also introducing the female cast. There's Mark's girl, Theresa, played by a fetching Kimberly Beck (the final girl in 1984's Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter). Lani O'Grady, one of the sisters on "Eight Is Enough," is there, too, as Jane, along with the ever-sweet Cheryl Rainbeaux Smith, the cult-film fave who plays Mary.
The girls are aware of David's unwillingness to accept the school's firmly established power structure, but aren't optimistic he'll be able to continue to do so for long. As Jane says, "they get to everyone sooner or later."
David keeps steaming as he watches the fellas rough up more nerds.
Meanwhile, David also laments at the attitude of his friend, Mark, who seemingly endorses such behavior. The nerds don't care much, either, for David's attempts at helping them. "Don't you people ever fight back?" asks David incredulously.
The bullying turns even uglier as the troublesome trio grab Mary and Jane and pull them into an unoccupied classroom for what appears to be an afterschool gangbang. (Again, the viewer wonders, where the hell are the teachers?).
David decides he can't sit back and watch any longer, and summarily whips all three in satisfying fashion.
Somewhat surprisingly, David and Theresa subsequently enjoy some dimly-lit skinny-dipping at dusk, which Mark finds out about later but doesn't seem too bothered by. As it turns out, that little bit of fun is but a momentary respite for our protagonist, who soon receives a painful response from the bullies that leaves him crippled.
David tells no one of what happened to cause his now-permanent limp. "Ratting on people is not my style," he explains. (Of course, in this world without adults it isn't clear to whom he would do the ratting, even if it were his style.)
No, David's style involves revenge. The violent kind. The middle third of the film is then taken up with his dealing with the bullies one by one, employing novel, slasher-film-style methods with each.
Along the way, Mark and Teresa make love on the beach (another dusky, hard-to-see encounter), after which Mark wonders if he, too, will fall victim to David's wrath.
The film does not end with David's revenge, rather continuing on into a third act, which is why I think critics like Ebert found the film more interesting than your typical drive-in offerings. (That, or perhaps Ebert's own connection with Russ Meyer predisposed him toward giving the Daalder-directed Massacre more attention than he otherwise might have.)
"What goes around comes around," says a newly-emboldened Spoony, sort of ironically summing up the new order. One soon realizes that with the bullies out of the way, something not-so-nice seems to be happening to the nerds as a result. "Suddenly this school is rife with opportunity," says Arthur, who works in the library, as he tries to convince David that the two of them (brawn & brains) can become Central High's new leaders.
David doesn't like it. Not one bit. What happens? More nasty surprises.
Oh, and more stuff gets blowed up.
Will leave aside the particulars of how things turn out, other than to point out one much better-lit, campage-a-trois involving Jane, Mary, and Spoony. Spoony's not such a nerd after all, it seems!
At under 90 minutes, Massacre at Central High gallops along at what to me seems a much-too-fast pace for any deeper messages to be absorbed (or plot twists to be accepted). Still, it's an entertaining ride, as well as a modest achievement with some historical significance. Definitely worth checking out for those with an interest in high school melodrama, "bully comeuppance" flicks, ultraviolence and/or explosions, Rainbeaux Smith, or all things '70s.

Multnomah Falls
The Graphics Interchange Format is a bitmap image format that was introduced by CompuServe in 19871 and has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability. The format supports up to 8 bits per pixel thus allowing a single image to reference a palette of up to 256 distinct colors. The colors are chosen from the 24-bit RGB color space. It also supports animations and allows a separate palette of 256 colors for each frame. The color limitation makes the GIF format unsuitable for reproducing color photographs and other images with continuous color, but it is well-suited for simpler images such as graphics or logos with solid areas of color.
I used six images of Mulnomah Falls to create the GIF. To give it a little smoother look, I copied those six frames and pasted them at the end of the original six frames and then reversed the order.
Here is a single image of the Falls.

That's really interesting stuff. I like seeing these young guys being so creative, and bringing something new to the table, with a more permanent (and weather-resistant) medium. They seem like a fun group of friends.
It'd be cool to have them do a sign for my company, but I'd be afraid other people might be tempted to add to the sign by continually shooting it in the downtown area where I work!
- July 24, 2011 at 1:12 am
Josh Here. The guy in the video. The one with the gun.
I can do Signs.
If You would like you can send me an image of your logo. I can do a few sketches so you can see it before I shoot It. Shipping prices are a beast. But email me (bateman_@_redefiningtheartist.com) and maybe we can work something out. I' may be able to get some ballistic glass to put in front of it but it is hard to get enough and It would cost a pretty penny.Thanks for checking this stuff out – 10-4

Former United States secretary of state Condoleezza Rice is one of the most successful women in the world. On Saturday, she gave five tips to career women while speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit.
1) Choose passion: When you are selecting a career, choose a career that you are passionate about. Don't get diverted to a certain path because of your gender or race.
2) Work twice as hard: Prepare yourself to work very hard, more than others. My parents told me, "You have to be twice as good." I didn't worry about whether this was unfair or not, I just took it for granted.
3) Forgive before you confront: If you walk into a room and someone reacts badly to you, do not automatically assume this is about your colour or your gender. Give them the benefit of doubt. If you react to all incidents of possible sexism and racism, you'll only drive up your blood pressure. If their reaction persists, then confront them directly. Ask them: "Do you have a problem with me?" They often back down.
4) Merit role models: Role models who have experience in all this are good but do not assume a role model has to be like you. My role models were very old white men because I chose to be a Soviet expert and the field was dominated by such people.
5) Don't be infantilised: It is important to have laws to protect women, but the majority of the situations we face can be handled by the people involved.

Cozumel has been described as "Heaven on Earth." Indeed, Mother Nature has been generous with her blessings by bestowing this Caribbean island with thriving jungles, mangroves and lagoons, a magnificent menagerie of flora and fauna, unspoiled coastlines and one of the world's largest reef systems. It's no wonder why nature enthusiasts rate Cozumel as one of the best Mexico destinations to visit.
The tropical mangroves help preserve the ecosystem, plus nature reserves such as Cozumel Reef's Natural Park, Chankanaab National Park and Faro Celerain Ecological Park (Punta Sur), also protect the environment. Inside Punta Sur, the Colombia Lagoon provides an undisturbed shelter for much of the wildlife, including endangered marine turtles and crocodiles. An observation tower allows visitors to observe lurking crocodiles from a safe distance.
Chankanaab Park's botanical gardens showcase hundreds of tropical plants from more than twenty counties. It's also a snorkeler's paradise with underwater trails of coral and limestone formations. As well, the park offers learning encounter programs with dolphins, sea lions and manatees.
Just offshore, a portion of the Mesoamerican reef attracts an abundance of tropical fish and coral.

Doyle allowed a one-out double in the eighth inning to Matt Carson, spoiling his no-hit bid, as Triple-A Charlotte beat Rochester, 4-1, on Memorial Day.
Doyle, who exited after the base hit, struck out three and walked two. A 37th-round pick by the White Sox in 2008, he threw 50 of his 82 pitches for strikes and retired 11 straight before the double.
"I think I just threw a lot strikes early in the game and got the hitters to be a bit more aggressive. I exploited that late in the game," he said.
While warming up to open the eighth, Doyle (4-3) suffered a cramp in his left leg. He stayed out there to start the frame following a conference with Knights manager Joel Skinner, but didn't think it affected his pitching.
"I called out the coach to let him know I didn't know how much longer I could go out there," the 26-year-old right-hander said. "He gave me a shot to finish out the inning and get the no-hitter. I tried to make a good pitch and Carson got a good piece to get a double."
Doyle endured a rough offseason. After being exposed by the White Sox to the Rule 5 Draft, the Massachusetts native was selected by the Twins. He was returned to Chicago after posting a 21.60 ERA in four Spring Training appearances. His exposure and performance this spring has been a motivating factor for Doyle.
"I'm trying to show to everybody what I can do and get another chance," Doyle said. "I was a little disappointed when the White Sox didn't protect me, but this game is very humbling.
"When I heard my name called, I was excited because it was a good fit but it just didn't work out the way I hoped. I tried to buckle down and get back to pitching well."
Overall, Doyle has a 3.05 ERA and International League hitters are batting .217 against him. He's fanned 56 batters over 62 innings in 2012, good for sixth in the league, and his 1.02 WHIP ranks seventh.
Monday's outing was just the third time in 10 appearances that Doyle had fanned less than five batters, which he credited to the Rochester hitters.
"I think that they just did a good job of putting the bat on the ball," Doyle said. "Their two-strike approach is really good. They do a good job of putting the ball into play with two strikes, which is what you're supposed to do."
Leyson Septimo took over for Doyle and allowed a run on two hits over the final 1 2/3 innings for Charlotte.
Tyler Kuhn and Jordan Danks contributed an RBI apiece while Josh Phegley, Chicago's No. 20 prospect, singled and scored a run for the Knights.
Pedro Florimon, the Twins' No. 20 prospect, hit a solo homer in the ninth for the Red Wings.

This looks like one of those online form letter interviews: a series of generic (and rather inane) questions that the interviewee types his answers to. Thank goodness Dean Yeagle is articulate enough to flesh out his answers so that the interview seems worthwhile after all.
I love Dean's cartoon work and I'm glad to know he's a fellow "Pogo" fan. Ideally it would be great to read a more in-depth interview with him, perhaps conducted by someone like Mike Barrier, where we could find out more about his approach to cartooning, in addition to learning more about his professional history in both print and animation. - July 21, 2010 6:39 PM

The upgrade seems a little late, considering Hummers have lost their mystique and McD's has ditched the supersizing pitch, but when the President needs a new plane, he can't be outdone by some schmuck Powerball winner. The Airbus would replace the (also large) Boeing 747-200 that is being ousted by many commercial airlines due to fuel efficiency.

Queens Drive at Central Library, Wellington 5010, New Zealand -
Design Team
Stuart Gardyne, Michael Bennett, Arnie Makan, Damon Peachey, Belinda Tuohy, Nick Whiting, Chloe Phelps, Rachel Logie -
Wellington Museum's Trust -
185.0 sqm -
Project Year
2009 -
From the architect. The City Gallery occupies the old 1930's Wellington Central Library building located in the Civic Square. In 1992-93 we completed additions to the City Gallery and in 2009 we designed and completed a new extension.
The overriding architectural issue was to allow the history of the building – both physical and emotional – to be recognised despite its new function as a venue for exhibitions. Tidying up the building or removing references to its previous function would be to deny that they ever existed and akin to tearing out a page of a history book.
We treated the work we did as a new and contemporary layer, which allows the richness of the building's history and 1930's stripped classical architecture to be expressed. The new layer is distinct and expressive of the contemporary focus of the gallery, and does not attempt to pretend it was part of the original building. The original building can be clearly seen and is given dignity by this approach.
The new addition to the building accommodates two additional galleries and an auditorium, allowing the existing cinema to be removed to make space for a third additional gallery within the original building.
The addition is clad in an open metal webgrate rainscreen over a waterproof cladding to help identify the addition as something new and discrete from the original building, and to form a relationship with the contemporary stair and lift tower additions of 1993. The webgrate rainscreen is simple and bold, yet unexpected, supporting City Gallery's role to challenge preconceived notions of art and design. The strength of the metal is successfully carried by the weight of the existing building materials, while the lightness of the open grate ensures that the addition is not domineering over the original building.
As in the existing galleries, the character of the new galleries is derived from the ceilings. The ceilings reverse the existing approach of the lower central suspended ceiling, and elevate the centre with a glazed roof lantern. The lantern increases the sense of height and space of these smaller galleries, while also providing controlled natural light. The finishes highlight the difference between the original and new buildings, and provide a connection with the auditorium below. The ceiling lining is timber sarking of a similar quality, but painted to match the exposed overhead steel beams and cross bracing. The timber sarking recounts the imprint left on the existing concrete soffits from the original timber formwork.

WASHINGTON, DC – The nation's terrorist watch list has hit one million names, according to a tally maintained by the American Civil Liberties Union based upon the government's own reported numbers for the size of the list.
"Members of Congress, nuns, war heroes and other 'suspicious characters,' with names like Robert Johnson and Gary Smith, have become trapped in the Kafkaesque clutches of this list, with little hope of escape," said Caroline Fredrickson, director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. "Congress needs to fix it, the Terrorist Screening Center needs to fix it, or the next president needs to fix it, but it has to be done soon."
Fredrickson and Barry Steinhardt, director of the ACLU's Technology and Liberty Program, spoke today along with two victims of the watch list: Jim Robinson, former assistant attorney general for the Civil Division who flies frequently and is often delayed for hours despite possessing a governmental security clearance and Akif Rahman, an American citizen who has been detained and interrogated extensively at the U.S.-Canada border when traveling for business.
"America's new million record watch list is a perfect symbol for what's wrong with this administration's approach to security: it's unfair, out-of-control, a waste of resources, treats the rights of the innocent as an afterthought, and is a very real impediment in the lives of millions of travelers in this country," said Barry Steinhardt, director of the ACLU Technology and Liberty Program. "It must be fixed without delay."
"Putting a million names on a watch list is a guarantee that the list will do more harm than good by interfering with the travel of innocent people and wasting huge amounts of our limited security resources on bureaucratic wheel-spinning," said Steinhardt. "I doubt this thing would even be effective at catching a real terrorist."
Controls on the watch lists called for by the ACLU included:
• due process
• a right to access and challenge data upon which listing is based
• tight criteria for adding names to the lists
• rigorous procedures for updating and cleansing names from the lists.
The ACLU also called for the president – if not this one then the next – to issue an executive order requiring the lists to be reviewed and limited to only those for whom there is credible evidence of terrorist ties or activities. The review should be concluded within 3 months.
In February, the ACLU unveiled an online "watch list counter," which has tracked the size of the watch list based on a September 2007 report by the inspector general of the Justice Department, which reported that it was growing by 20,000 names per month.
The ACLU is also announcing today the creation of an online form where victims of the watch list can tell us their stories. We will collect those stories and use them (with permission) in various ways to advance our advocacy. A link to the form is available online at www.aclu.org/watchlist or directly at www.aclu.org/watchlistform.
The watch list counter and other materials are available at: www.aclu.org/watchlist

It would behoove the Dodgers to stop making a habit of winning in dramatic fashion. It's tough on not only the fans, but on the players as well. But for now, any win will have to do, such as the Dodgers 4-3 victory over the San Diego Padres in 11 innings. With the Giants, Cardinals and Braves all winning, it was imperative that the Dodgers win to prevent falling further behind in their pursuit of the division and the wild card. Brandon League (1-6) picked up his first victory of the 2012 season, pitching two scoreless innings. Cory Burns (0-1) suffered the loss for the Padres, giving up 3 consecutive singles in the bottom of the 11th inning.
After retiring Matt Kemp on a fly ball and Hanley Ramirez on a grounder to short, Andre Ethier hit a single to right field. Luis Cruz followed with a sharp single to center, his fourth hit of game, advancing Ethier to third. Catcher A.J. Ellis then followed with a single to short right field, scoring Ethier and giving the Dodgers another hard-fought, much-needed victory.
That the Dodgers made it to extra innings was quite a feat, in of itself. Trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth, things looked bleak after Ramirez was called out on strikes. But Ethier followed by hitting a Luke Gregorson pitch into the right-center field pavilion, tying the score 3-3.
The Dodgers saw themselves behind early yet again as the Padres wasted no time jumping on the Dodgers. Will Venables hit a one-out single to center. Chase Headley then followed with a booming home run to right off Dodger starter Joe Blanton. Blanton has struggled mightily with the Dodgers, giving up a good chunk of home runs, something has has plagued him pitching in hitter-friendly Citizen's Bank Park in Philadelphia. The Dodgers hoped that pitching in pitcher-friendly Dodger Stadium would do the trick, but so far, that is not the case. Ironically, Blanton's best outing with the Dodgers took place in Coors Field, of all places. He pitched seven and a third strong innnings, only giving up three runs before the bullpen almost blew a seven run lead.
Blanton settled down and the Dodgers chipped away. They finally got on the board in the fifth inning. Luis Cruz opened up with a single to center. After Ellis flied out to right, Cruz took second on a sacrifice bunt by Blanton. Mark Ellis then followed with a single to left field, scoring Cruz and cutting the lead to 2-1. The Dodgers evened up the game in the sixth on a Ramirez solo home run to center.
The Padres took the lead back in the seventh. With one, Padres starter Andrew Werner singled to center and moved to second on an infield single by Logan Forsythe an out later. Pitcher Clayton Richard then pinch-ran for Werner and scored on a single by Headley, putting the Padres up 3-2.
Lucky for the Dodgers, Ethier, Cruz and Ellis still had a few tricks up their sleeves in the later innings.

Oh, nice. Yeah, that's a pretty genius description of the book. I'm definitely curious to hear your thoughts on the new one (ones?) ... and should probably just grab it myself. It will definitely be interesting to see where be takes things. It is my guess that in that particular mode he said all he needed to say with his first novel (and the first collection, a spiritual tie-in) and my hope that he might become one of those writers like Lydia Millet or, I dunno, TC Boyle, sort of?, who continue to grow and experiment and concoct something wholly new each time out.
Please don't take my opinion as representative of much of anything, though.
But -- if you'd like a tiny bit more context for Notable American Women, you might check out Mathew Derby, and his collection Super Flat Times, if you haven't. My recollection is that it's very Marcus-seque. It was workshopped with Ben Marcus while they both studied under Robert Coover, at Brown. It has more than a bit of that same feel, that same anemic dystopia (well, similar anyway) -- and the two at least appear to have influenced each other, early on.
Man, i wish I lived in a city that publicized books.

ROANOKE — A Virginia State Police trooper who patrols the Twin Counties has been recognized with a Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police "Lifesaving Award" for his part in responding to a fiery Dec. 23, 2011, crash on Interstate 77. At about 2:40 a.m. that day, Trooper Charles "Chuck" H. Campbell Jr. responded to a single-vehicle crash in Carroll County at the area known as the "Tater Hole," a notorious site of I-77 crashes.
A bobcat in the Elk Creek area of Grayson County was recently tested and confirmed to have rabies. This animal potentially could have had contact with local pets and livestock. Rabies is a deadly viral disease. Unvaccinated dogs, cats and ferrets with no known exposure to a potentially rabid animal should be vaccinated immediately. State law requires pet owners to keep their pets current on rabies vaccinations for animals ages four months or older. Residents should not approach or touch wild animals and should report any abnormal behavior involving wild animals.
Carroll County deputies are seeking information about a 16-year-old female missing since July 30. Sheriff J.B. Gardner says that Shelia Duncan, 16, hasn't been seen for two weeks after a meeting with a probation officer. There's a possibility that she has run away. The sheriff's office encourages anybody with information about her whereabouts call 728-4146.
INDEPENDENCE – Grayson County deputies Doug Waller and Kevin Watson were honored during a joint ceremony on Aug. 9 by both the county supervisors and the sheriff for their heroic actions. Grayson Sheriff Richard Vaughan opened the recognition by describing the events that unfolded on June 26 in the Fairview community, which resulted in Waller being shot. Vaughan said Waller and Watson were responding to a domestic dispute call on Skyline Highway at 10:43 that evening.
Marion police are investigating a series of counterfeit $100 bills that were passed at businesses there on Aug. 5. The fake bills pass traditional "pen marker" tests, but are counterfeit, according to a news release from the town. A suspect car being sought by police is red or maroon with no front tag. It has chrome door handles, sunroof and is possibly missing paint on top.
CANA — The Twin County Drug Task Force issued a search warrant at 53 Amazing Grace Lane in Cana last Thursday morning, as part of an investigation of methamphetamine manufacturing. Authorities in clinical-looking white coveralls and breathing masks spread out meth-making items and ingredients on a tarp in front of the home, under the shade of a tree on the warm and sunny summer day. Charged as a part of the investigation were father and son Roger Jessup Hiatt, 46, and Roger Ernest Hiatt, 25, who lived at the address.
False information is circulating about a supposed requirement for inactive voters to re-register in Virginia. The State Board of Elections is aware of incorrect information circulating via mass e-mails, stating that voters who have not voted since the 2008 general election must re-register to vote 25 days prior to election day of Nov. 6 in order to eligible to vote. "There is absolutely no requirement to re-register in Virginia," the board said in a news release.

Access the records: Wisconsin State Census, 1885 .
Record Description
Population schedules consisted of large sheets with rows and columns. The schedules are arranged by county, then by political subdivision. The arrangement of families on a schedule is normally in the order in which the enumerator visited the households.
In 1855 the state legislature directed that a census be taken in June of that year and every 10 years thereafter. The completed forms were sent to the Secretary of State. The census covers approximately 90% of the population.
Wisconsin census were conducted from 1855-1905. This information pertains to censuses taken in the year 1895.
The state census of Wisconsin was taken in order to enumerate the population for representation purposes.
Censuses are usually reliable, depending on the knowledge of the informant and the care of the census enumerator. Information may have been given to a census taker by any member of the family or by a neighbor. Some information may have been incorrect or deliberately.

How to Use the Records
information in the index (such as page number or family number) to locate your ancestors in the census. Some on-line indexes, such as indexes to FamilySearch Historical Records, will take you directly to an image. Compare the information in the census to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to compare the information of more than one family or person to make this determination. Be aware that as with any index, transcription errors may occur.
When you have located your ancestor in the census, carefully evaluate each piece of information about them. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors.
For example:
- Birth places can tell you former residences and can help to establish a migration pattern for the family.
- Use the race information to find records related to that ethnicity such as records of the Freedman's Bureau or Indian censuses.
- If they are subject to military service they may have military files in the State or National Archives.
It is often helpful to extract the information on all families with the same surname in the same general area. If the surname is uncommon, it is likely that those living in the same area were related.
Be sure to extract all families before you look at other records. The relationships given will help you to organize family groups. The family groupings will help you identify related families when you discover additional information in other records.
Some other helpful tips to keep in mind are:
- Married family members may have lived nearby but in a separate household so you may want to search an entire town, neighboring towns, or even a county.
- You may be able to identify an earlier generation if elderly parents were living with or close by a married child.
- You may be able to identify a younger generation if a young married couple still lived with one of their sets of parents.
- Additional searches may be needed to locate all members of a particular family in the census.
You should also be aware that the census may identify persons for whom other records do not exist.

Bruce Karpati, Chief of the Securities Exchange Commission Enforcement Division's Asset Management Unit (AMU), spoke before the Regulatory Compliance Association earlier this week to address the AMU's current enforcement priorities. By way of background, the AMU is a specialized unit established by the Enforcement Division to focus on investment advisers, investment companies, hedge funds, mutual funds and private equity funds. The AMU employs industry professionals and experts (including fund managers, private equity analysts and due diligence professionals) to help identify and investigate emerging issues.
According to Mr. Karpati, "it is clear that even the sophisticated class of investors who invest in hedge funds are themselves unable to effectively monitor the industry." This difficulty exists because, Mr. Karpati argued, the basic hedge fund business model creates incentives for potential abuse and misconduct, including that: (i) payment of both management and performance fees may cause managers to "overprioritize" compensation; (ii) managers are under pressure to show consistent or improving performance metrics; (iii) managers may seek to gain an informational edge that may result in improper insider trading; (iv) by controlling all aspects of the business, managers may be subject to conflicts of interest; and (v) competitive pressure may cause managers to give "favored treatment" to preferred investors.
Mr. Karpati emphasized his view that the hedge fund operating model may be in tension with the manager's role as a fiduciary. He noted that "[a]s a fiduciary, a hedge fund manager must guard against conscious and unconscious incentives that might cause him or her to provide less than disinterested advice since an investment adviser may be faulted even when he or she does not intend to injure a client or even if a client does not suffer a monetary loss." Mr. Karpati concluded that the anti-fraud provisions of the Investment Advisers Act enable the AMU to pursue "breaches of fiduciary duty and other forms of misconduct."
In surveying recent cases, Mr. Karpati observed that, since 2010, the Enforcement Division has pursued over 100 cases against hedge fund managers, "a significant majority of which involved conflicts of interest, valuation, performance, and compliance and controls." To identify potential cases, Mr. Karpati emphasized that the AMU is relying in part on new risk-analytic initiatives and data analyses, including the "Aberrational Performance Inquiry," which looks for funds with suspicious or improbable performance returns. In addition, Mr. Karpati noted that the AMU is using its new methods with an eye toward "zombie funds," which may be improperly delaying the liquidation of their holdings because the income from those assets is the manager's only revenue source.
Mr. Karpati concluded his presentation by identifying "best practices" that fund managers might engage in to help fulfill their fiduciary obligations. According to Mr. Karpati, fund managers should: (i) set the "tone at the top and create a culture of compliance;" (ii) establish internal controls and checks and balances where employees have overlapping and potentially conflicting positions (e.g., a portfolio manager valuing the fund's assets); (iii) check and monitor traders; (iv) periodically review and test compliance procedures; and (v) cooperate with exam staff and promptly implement any remedial measures identified during an examination.

Stephan El Shaarawy's agent has described reports linking the AC Milan forward with a move to Napoli as an honour for the player.
The 20-year-old has been one of the success stories of the club's season, but his form since January has been the subject of much concern, with coach Massmiliano Allegri stating earlier this month that the player is mentally and physically drained.
However, that has not halted speculation linking the Italy international with a move away from San Siro, and Roberto La Florio says the player is honoured to have caught the eye of Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis.
"This is a true privilege, also because we are talking about a president at the head of a big club whose consideration is important," La Florio told Radio Kiss Kiss.
"But it seems to me that Milan have made an investment in their squad, choosing the road of rejuvenation.
"Milan are rebuilding and they plan to hold onto the youngsters that they are counting on, as demonstrated by the fact that he [El Shaarawy] renewed his contract a year ago, until 2018.
"I also know nothing of this approach at this time. I had read about something in January, but also that Milan had calmly rejected this proposal."
El Shaarawy, who has been capped six times by Italy, arrived at Milan two years ago.

Use E-mail More Effectively
Write the main point, request, or question in the very first sentence of your e-mail message.
This one practice, alone, could have a huge impact on the quality of your communications and the responses you get to your e-mail messages.
Despite all of the business-letter-writing workshops that plead with writers to put the main point up front, far too many people still bury their main points in the body of their e-mails. This may be because we all have a tendency to build up to a conclusion or a request as a way of thinking, but unfortunately this pattern doesn't work well in written form.
By forcing ourselves to select and isolate the main point of the communication, then move it to the very first sentence of the e-mail message, we can accomplish several things:
• We clarify our own intentions. • We focus the reader, and provide the context supported by the remainder of the text. • We avoid the reader missing the point or failing to answer the question. • We save time.
Because many e-mail readers skim, the longer the e-mail message, and the more buried the main point is, the more likely that main point will be missed. Placing it up front is an easy solution.

Subject: | "Zula" |
Author: | kolya (guest, 22.214.171.124) |
Date: | February 28, 2001 at 10:43:05 AM |
interesting theory on "Zula", but i don't think it's correct for all occurences. my Cajun-Sicilian grandmother (born ~1920) has that name after her Sicilian great aunt who had it as a nickname. no one still living in my family (including my grandmother) knows where it comes from, but "Zulu" seems an unlikely origin in this case. as a side note, the mfkane history theory is now generally believed to have been invented by South African whites to justify northward expansion, and the personality of Shaka himself is thought by many to have been invented for this purpose.

CORTLAND, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Oday Aboushi gently placed the young boy on the hospital room bed, and quickly stepped aside.
The child's mother broke down at the sight of her suddenly unrecognizable son. His once-misshapen mouth appeared nearly normal. She turned to Aboushi, an offensive lineman for the New York Jets, and hugged him.
Aboushi wasn't ready for it. And then, he cried, too.
"I was like, 'Man. Just, wow,'" Aboushi recalled after a recent training camp practice. "That's when it hit me what we were doing there."
There are 185 new smiles in Sudan these days, and Aboushi helped create them all.
He was part of a five-day surgical mission by the Islamic Medical Association of North America in early March to repair cleft lips in the African country. IMANA Medical Relief's volunteer SaveSmile team of doctors and nurses operated on infants as young as a few months old to young adults in their early- to mid-20s in Sudan's capital city of Khartoum.
Aboushi, who joined the group along with his older sister Tahanie and youngest brother Haytham, scrubbed in and assisted with giving patients IVs and watched as their mouths were transformed in the 35-minute procedures. Muscles are adjusted and tissues connected so that a lip can form and heal properly.
"It was such a great experience to help people, but also to see such an instant result," said Aboushi, a sociology major in college. "You're bringing them into the operating room and then a few minutes later, you're bringing them out and they look like a totally different person.
"Their parents are in tears, they're so grateful."
The group arrived at the hospital every morning at 7 a.m. and worked until 7 p.m. — five days straight and 185 patients. Aboushi's siblings made the trip the two previous years and raved about the experience. After he finished his rookie season last December, Aboushi decided to join them on the 18-hour trek from Staten Island to Africa.
And, it changed his life.
"Going over there made me realize just how blessed I am to have a normal body — well, I have a bigger body — and have a normal face," the 6-foot-5, 308-pound Aboushi said. "You appreciate being able to drink normally and go out and make friends and feel comfortable. That's something you always take for granted because it's not really measured."
Aboushi was particularly touched by the story of one patient who had the procedure two years ago, but before that had withdrawn from school and rarely left his house because he felt out of place. After the surgery, Aboushi said, he's at the top of his class in grades and going on interviews.
"It's crazy, and so awesome," he said. "I look forward to hearing more about certain kids we worked on and see where they are in life, just to have that chance to be normal and be able to do daily functions that everybody does."
Aboushi plans to make similar trips in the future, but now his focus is solely on football — and competing for a starting spot on the Jets' offensive line. He was drafted in the fifth round last year out of the University of Virginia as a tackle, and spent all season on the active roster but never got into a game.
Late in the season, the Jets tried practicing Aboushi at guard to see if that might be an even better fit. Now, he's competing with Brian Winters to be New York's starting left guard.
"To be honest, sometimes a guy gets out there and it's like, 'Hey, that looks right. It looks comfortable,'" Jets offensive line coach Mike Devlin said. "He has great athleticism. I see a different guy, to be honest with you, and so far, that has been carrying over."
Aboushi has stood out through the first four practices of training camp, including shutting down Sheldon Richardson, last season's Defensive Rookie of the Year, on two straight plays in Sunday's session.
"Oday Aboushi keeps jumping out at me a bit," coach Rex Ryan said. "When everybody left (after last season), I wasn't sure that I could have said that Oday was going to be as impressive as he was. He decided in the offseason that he's going to become more physical, he's going to become more passionate and I see it on the practice field."
Aboushi and Winters, the starter last year, have rotated between left guard and right guard while starter Willie Colon works his way back from offseason knee surgery. While most eyes are on the quarterbacks, the competition for the left guard spot is truly one to watch.
"Last year, there were a lot of first-time things and a lot of new things, so I was trying to grasp all that at the same time," Aboushi said. "This year, I was able to slow a lot of things down."
And that's something he can certainly smile about. Along with his new friends in Sudan.
"I came back taking nothing for granted," Aboushi said. "I'm always being appreciative of what I have now. The whole experience really just humbled me greatly."

Convergence of Arbitrage-free Discrete Time Markovian Market Models
We consider two sequences of Markov chains induc- ing equivalent measures on the discrete path space. We estab- lish conditions under which these two measures converge weakly to measures induced on the Wiener space by weak solutions of two SDEs, which are unique in the sense of probability law. We are going to look at the relation between these two limits and at the convergence and limits of a wide class of bounded function- als of the Markov chains. The limit measures turn out not to be equivalent in general. The results are applied to a sequence of discrete time market models given by anobjective probability measure, describing the stochastic dynamics of the state of the market, and an equivalent martingale measure determining prices of contingent claims. The relation between equivalent martingale measure, state prices, market price of risk and the term structure of interest rates is examined. The results lead to a modification of the Black-Scholes formula and an explanation for the surpris- ing fact that continuous-time arbitrage-free markets are complete under weak technical conditions.
