Graduating student government president shares her insights
Eddie Solis Jr.
October 2, 2014
Senior Anaisy Tolentino has had a productive three years at Santa Clara.
Without even mentioning her political science major with double minors in communication and sociology or her plans for law school, she's left an inspiring impression on a lot of people in this community.
Her many roles include being an orientation leader, a student government senator, a Global Fellow in Turkey and now the Associated Student Government president.
Despite how many projects she has been involved with, she believes that it isn't the student leadership titles that matter, it's the relationships with classmates that do.
Tolentino shared her experiences and wisdom as a student leader looking toward the future for her next endeavor.
The Santa Clara: What motivates you to have an impact in the Santa Clara community?
Tolentino: My biggest personal fear is not accomplishing something meaningful, not just for myself, but for my community.
TSC: In relation to goals and accomplishments, what are your plans for ASG as president this year?
Tolentino: I plan for ASG to focus on commuter students and the resources available to them. I want communication with students to be as transparent as possible. My plan is that ASG will be available to help students bring whatever change they want to see. I also want us to focus on community relations with the city of Santa Clara, with and for the student body.
TSC: Becoming an ambitious president didn't happen overnight. What helped you to grow as a student leader?
Tolentino: I would say my role as ASG senate chair was the largest leadership position. I was overseeing 40 students involved in ASG. It challenged my individual leadership style.
You get elected to this position and you have duties and responsibilities, but at the end of the day anyone can get elected to a position. There's no value in that if that person doesn't improve or enhance that position and make that organization better. Every year that position will be open and filled, but leadership isn't filling positions—it's growing and improving the organization you serve."
TSC: You have given so much to the Bronco community. What do you think your legacy will be?
Tolentino: I would like to think that my legacy will have been formed through my personal relationships. You can hold as many positions and get involved in as many initiatives as you want, but if you're able to pass on that passion and excitement for change to other individuals in your or- ganizations, they can do the same work tenfold and that ripple effect is so much more meaningful than that one project you invested in. I'd like to think the Santa Clara community has been this wonderful web of great relationships.
TSC: How do you create such special connections with your fellow Broncos?
Tolentino: I make it a point to stop people and say 'hello.' I love a quick catch- up with people. I really believe that a 'hi' and a genuine smile can go a long way. You want to create a good environment that encourages people to do whatever great things they're doing.
TSC: What's been the most rewarding experience at Santa Clara?
Tolentino: Orientation leader aligned with my personality so well and there's so much you get out of giving yourself to a community that you get so excited about. Orientation really sets the tone for your college career.
TSC: What insightful advice do you have for the freshman class just beginning their college career?
Tolentino: I have two pieces. Here's the first: Be open to challenges because as you go on to post-college thinking, you realize that everything would be boring if chal- lenges weren't thrown at you. Everything happens for a reason. It's your attitude that directs how you're going to grow.
Secondly, for four years of your life, everything is just beyond your fingertips– these challenges and these opportunities. We are surrounded by people who challenge your thinking and make you better.
We all got accepted this university, but at the end of the day you have to ask yourself 'Why are you here? How will you make this place better?'

This year we are doing something we have never done in our history. In addition to our 2018 Annual Appeal goal of $75,000, we are hoping to raise additional funds toward the purchase of an important parcel of land.
Thanks to the generosity of donors, we already owned a significant parcel in Standish. A key parcel adjoining that holding came on the market, which would ensure access and represents some of the finest tree growing land in the area, as well as abundant wildlife, recreational trails, and water resources. Because time was short, we moved quickly to secure a loan to acquire it. The parcel is 134 acres, which we purchased for $135,000. That brought our total contiguous ownership to 423 acres.
Purchasing the land was a stretch, but a decision the Board of Directors and staff felt we should make. The loan must be paid off within three years. We are hoping to raise $45,000 toward that loan this year in addition to our Annual Appeal.

A double amputee just controlled two prosthetic arms – with his mind
Humans with robotic limbs are not so far away. A lab at John Hopkins University just made a breakthrough with a successful trial of their prosthetic limbs, which can be accurately controlled by an amputee. The subject in this video, Les Baugh, suffered the loss of both his arms after an accident 40 years ago. But this week, for the first time in history, he was able to put on a pair of robot arms and control them with three degrees of motion just using his mind. This is so cool:

Surrey's Conservative Councillors award themselves a pay rise but promise huge cuts to County Council services
The Lib Dems at County Hall have heavily criticised the Conservative administration at Surrey County Council after they awarded themselves thousands of pounds of extra allowances during the last Full Council meeting.
The vote means that 4 new Deputy Cabinet positions will be created, at a cost of £40,000 a year, as well as extra allowances for committee vice-chairs. The Lib Dems opposed these increases and voted against them at County Hall.
Lib Dem County Councillor for Woking South, Will Forster said, "At a time when residents are looking to Surrey County Council to increase its cost effectiveness, and at a time when severe cuts in services are proposed, the Tories should not be looking to award themselves a pay rise. Many local residents have had no real increase in their income for ten years and they will be appalled to see these increases voted through. The overall cost of allowances for members should be capped for three years and any adjustments made by moving money within the existing budget."
Councillor Will Forster added, "We told the Leader of the Council how disappointed we were with his proposals to pay thousands of pounds of additional allowances to Conservative Councillors, whilst at the same time proposing huge cuts to essential services. The County Council is telling residents that difficult decisions need to be made on spending but at the same time is able to find extra money to keep backbench Tory Councillors happy. The Lib Dems have called for the Conservative administration to reverse this decision and instead put this money into front line services."

OpenOffice, the free open source alternative to Microsoft Office, is expected to be available in a native Mac OS X version next month, in time for the Apple Expo in Paris. The software previously required OS X users to install the X11 Window System, which enables Unix software to run on the Mac.
The news was announced by the OpenOffice Mac OS X Porting Team on a blog run by team member Eric Bachard. OpenOffice grew out of Sun Microsystemsi StarOffice. Version 2.0 is now available; it includes the Writer, Impress (PowerPoint), Math, Draw, Calc, and Base (Access) modules.

There is suddenly a spate of launches of Low-Cost Airlines in India. Each Airline claims a fare lower than the lowest. If this really continues soon Air travel will actually be cheaper than walking!! (kidding of course).
I have been thinking about how these airlines continue to survive. Recently, I read about the discussion on how Low Cost Airlines can be viable and it triggered some thoughts.
Actually to look at the viability I believe, we can look at Transport operators (cargo-trucks) model. They have the kind of Hub-&-spoke model that Dr. Krishnan is talking about. In fact the viability of the model actually lies in the hub and spoke mechanism.
For people-carriers though, there are slight problems as they have to break their journey and that consumes time. The viability of these low cost airlines must come from other revenue streams. Air-Cargo offers a good alternative.
I am not actually aware of the percentage of the revenues from Air-Cargo but I know that the local inter-city buses make a significant revenue from transport of cargo. A bus (in India) usually carries around 1-3 tons of cargo in addition to the people and their luggage. This cargo is typically mail and small goods. Similarly, I would expect Air Cargo to actually contribute significantly to the revenues. Typical Air Cargo is Mail (again!) and perishable goods. An airline based on this duel revenue model will most likely survive.
What say?

Ruling party candidate Moreno leading Ecuador's presidential race after contentious campaign
Voter tells of disruption at polling site
Ruling-party candidate Lenín Moreno was leading Sunday's contentious presidential race, sparking cries of fraud and demands for a recount in a contest that is being closely watched around the region as a bellwether for Latin America's left.
With 94 percent of the vote counted, the National Electoral Council said Moreno had won 51.07 percent of the vote versus his rival and former banker Guillermo Lasso with 48.93 percent.
The news came after Lasso and his allies had already declared victory, citing a widely circulated exit poll. As news spread about the official results, demonstrators chanted "fraud!" and took to the streets. Television showed large crowds breaking through police barricades in the capital as they tried to reach the electoral body.
A quick count conducted by Participación Ciudadana, a respected civil society group, didn't defray tensions. The organization said the results were too close to call, with less than 0.6 percent difference. The group did not say who was in the lead.
The political cliffhanger caps a race that was unusually contentious and bitter, and which pits dramatically visions of the country against each other.
Tensions were fueled after two polling companies, Cedatos and Perfiles de Opinion, gave contradictory exit polls, leading both sides to claim victory.
Speaking to supporters in Quito late Sunday, Moreno blasted the pollsters for creating false expectations and creating conflict, but he said he would govern for all Ecuadoreans.
"We will listen to our critics," he said. "We are going to work in peace and harmony."
Earlier in the night, as a Cedatos exit poll flashed on the screen at the campaign headquarters of opposition candidate Lasso in the port city of Guayaquil, the crowd broke into cheers. The company gave him a 53 percent to 47 percent lead in the race.
"Democracy and freedom have won in Ecuador," Lasso said. "Today a new Ecuador is born."

However, in the capital of Quito, supporters of Moreno were focused on the exit polls being released by Perfiles de Opinion, which gave him 52 percent of the vote versus Lasso's 48 percent.
Sebastian Hurtado, a Quito-based political analyst, said Lasso might have complicated the political scenario with his "victory lap as presidential-elect" on national television based on an exit poll.
"His supporters are going to be very frustrated and fight these results," he predicted.
César Monge, the national director of the opposition CREO party, said poll watchers had detected irregularities — with the candidates' vote tally being inverted by the National Electoral Council. And he asked the administration not to rush to declare a winner.
"This isn't about speed," he said. "Ecuadoreans need to know the truth."
In a speech late Sunday, Lasso said his party will challenge the vote in all 24 provinces, saying the administration had "crossed a line by violating the will of the people." But he also called for calm, asking his followers not to be provoked into violence.
At stake is the legacy of President Rafael Correa and his leftist "Citizens' Revolution."
In an celebratory interview with Ecuavisa television Sunday, before the official results came in, Lasso said his goal was to "dismantle" Correismo, including trashing a restrictive media law, pardoning the "politically persecuted" and killing a Correa amendment that allows indefinite presidential reelection.
Correa remains a popular figure here, and he has approval ratings of more than 40 percent. He has said that after the election he will move to Belgium — where his wife is from — and keep from interfering in politics. But many expect him to plot his political return in four years.
Although Ecuador is one of the smallest countries in South America, the region has been focused on this race that offered two dramatically different views of the country. And many were seeing it as measure of the strength of Latin America's left.
The vote will also ripple across the Atlantic, where WikiLeaks' Julian Assange has been holed up in Ecuador's London embassy since 2012 fighting extradition to Sweden. In an interview with the Miami Herald last month, Lasso said he would evict Assange, while Moreno has suggested he'll keep the status quo.

Lasso, a former banker and economic minister, tried to woo voters with his promise to jump-start the economy and wash away a decade of accumulated corruption. But his biggest asset might have been that he represented a change.
Anita Tilán, a 32-year-old housekeeper, said she had supported Correa and his Alianza País party for years, but couldn't rationalize it any longer.
"It's just been too long," she said of the administration. "We need a change even if that change isn't exactly what we want."
The vote capped one of the most bitter campaigns in recent memory and there were fears that violence might be simmering beneath the surface. During a Colombia-Ecuador soccer match last week in Quito, Lasso and his family were threatened and a mob of pro-government sympathizers hurled objects at them.
The opposition has been warning voters that Correa's socialist bent is leading the country down the path to being another dysfunctional Venezuela.
Lasso, who voted in the port city of Guayaquil, told voters they had a clear choice to make.
"You can choose the path of Venezuela or choose the path of democracy and freedom," he said.
Critics have accused Correa of driving the country into debt, saying he developed an authoritarian streak — clamping down on the press and his political foes — and that his administration has kept a lid on corruption scandals.

In particular, Moreno's running mate, Jorge Glas, who is currently Correa's vice president, has been under a cloud of suspicion amid allegations that he received bribes as he oversaw the state-run Petroecuador oil company. (Glas and Correa have dismissed the rumblings as part of a dirty tricks campaign.)
Also, in December, representatives of the Brazilian construction firm Odebrecht pleaded guilty in U.S. courts to paying millions of dollars in bribes for contracts in almost a dozen countries, including $33.5 million in Ecuador. But investigators here have been mum about who might be implicated.
Jorge Alvarez, a 60-year-old cab driver, said he feared the country would never know what's truly happening unless there was a change in the administration. He said he feared Moreno would "just cover everything up."
For many, however, Lasso represented a leap into the unknown or, even worse, into the past. Before Correa assumed office in 2007, Ecuador was one of the most unstable countries in the hemisphere, burning through seven presidents in 10 years.
And many remember the 1999 banking and economic crisis that wiped out their life savings. Lasso had been a member of President Jamil Mahuad's economic cabinet during those troubles. And Moreno and others have accused him of profiting during the crisis.
Luis Fernando Sisalima, a 36-year-old beautician, said he remembers those chaotic times and doesn't want to go back. And he says he has no faith that Lasso, a successful businessman, will stick up for the poor.

"Millionaires can never provide solutions for this country," he said. "Millionaires only know how to protect their circle of friends."
Analysts say the country is in for some serious belt tightening. Yet in the waning days of the race, both sides seemed to be making promises that will be difficult to keep.
Cab drivers in this southern colonial town said Lasso's representatives had promised them access to $100,000 in loans if they voted for him. And Moreno's campaign has been asking for votes in exchange for free or subsidized housing and the promise that he's going to increase welfare payments from $50 to $150.
"They can promise whatever they want," said Alvarez. "But people are really stupid if they believe it's going to happen."

In his photo series 'Hunger Pains', NYC-based photographer Ted Sabarese tempts his models by dressing them up in what they were craving to eat.
Instead of clothes, models were decked in real food items—pasta, bread, vegetables, meat and waffles—that represent a meal they were craving for at the moment.
Each of the garments were cooked, created and assembled by 15 hours for the photoshoot.

Lim Chu Kang Kelong1:58:00 PM
My brother-in-law's distant aunt owns a kelong on the far west side of Singapore.
Since we have not been to one before, we asked him to take us there!
Note that the kelong owners only allow people who they know on their kelongs! Luckily, I have my BIL!
Speaking of kelongs,
(Taken from Wikipedia)
A Kelong (sometimes spelt Kellong) is a Malay word to describe a form of offshore platform built predominantly with wood, and can be found in waters off Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia, while only a handful remains around Singapore due to rapid urbanisation.
Kelongs are built by fishermen primarily for fishing purposes, although larger structures can also function as dwellings for them and their families. They are built without the need for nails, using rattan to bind tree trunks and wooden planks together. Anchored into the sea bed using wooden piles of about 20 metres in length and driven about 6 metres into the sea, they are usually sited in shallow water, although some can be found in deeper waters. Some kelongs are less isolated, and are connected to land via a wooden gangway. Other variants of Kelongs can be mobile, or may involve a large groups of Kelongs joined together into a massive offshore community.

Most kelongs have a few stray dogs.
We encountered a crazy funny incident there.
Apparently, there were 2 kelongs opposite the one which we were on.
The dogs barked at each other. The solo dog on Kelong A stared at the 2 dogs on Kelong B, it was like "U dare to come here"
Then, the 2 dogs suddenly jumped into the sea and swam over to Kelong A. The A dog barked at them continuously. To show Kelong B's victory, the dogs took whatever they saw back to their kelong.
This repeated for a few times after soon!

Can I get an AMEN?
We purchased the Quinny buzz stroller after months and months of drooling over it. From the moment when new of its existence it was like everyone owned one and took it out to rub it in our face. We used to have a crappy old stroller and we never payed much attention to it because... well, basically it worked just fine and did the trick.
We went several times to the store and hung around making a bizzillion questions about it trying to figure if it was going to work for us.
Then it Happened.
We walked in one day and saw it. The quinny buzz curious colors limited edition.
OH.MY.GOD. It was beautiful. No, it was more than beautiful, It was perfect. I knew it was THE ONE from the moment I saw it but boyfriend was a little hesitant due to the fact that is more expensive than the regular one.
We discussed it and of course I got my way and boyfriend said yes.
Finally, we got it and its been the best purchase we've done so far in regard to baby stuff (Also the biggest expense). From the moment we sat baby A in it she was as in love with it as we were. She laughed and clapped and squeaked from joy. Ahhh, it was a beautiful moment. She loved something that daddy worked so hard to give her. She could not believe her eyes. After the thrill was over, Amelia took a moment in silence to inspect every last detail from the comfyness of her stroller and finally gave a smile in form of approval.
Seriously one of the best days.
So, after a week of owning this beauty there are a few things I can say about it.
1. It is SO comfortable for the little passenger! Amelia loves to nap in it.
2. Super easy to maneuver and move around.
3. The little diaper bag that comes in the back is THE best. We used to carry an insanely oversized diaper bag with a ton of things we didn't even need or use. Now we get whatever we may need in that small one and it's been working just fine.
4. Super easy to fold and unfold.
5. The design is beautiful and will definitely generate double takes everywhere. (Expect to get asked about it)
6. The chair can be turned around so the baby is facing you. This has been probably the best thing for me since I love to talk to baby A while we are out and about. Also this way I can check she has everything she needs. It has 2 different leves of inclination while the seat is facing the parent and 3 while the baby is facing front.
The only bad thing I have to say about the stroller is that living in a tiny apartment it is a little frustrating trying to store two fairly big parts (The chair and the body) instead of just one.
But hey, I think we might let that one pass because it is definitely worth it.

Reporting from the EU Parliament: Building an Open Bitcoin Coalition
We went to the European Parliament. Here's what happened.
By Peter Van Valkenburgh / January 29, 2015
Yesterday I spoke at the European Parliament's STOA (that's Science and Technology Options Assessment) workshop. I was one of eight speakers discussing, "The Collaborative Economy: Impact and Potential of Collaborative Internet and Additive Manufacturing" a wordy title to describe what turned out to be a fascinating budding coalition! Frank Piller of MIT and Oliver Gajada of the European Crowdfunding Network spoke about co-creation, lead-user innovators, crowdfunding and the open source movement. Yi-Ke Guo of Imperial College London and Thomas Heath of the Open Data Institute spoke about big and open data. Louis Turner of the Asia Pacific Technology Network, and Dr. Beverley Vaughan of Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst spoke about 3D-printing (including printing human organs!). And Elli Androulaki alongside yours truly, spoke about Bitcoin and blockchains! last week in Boston, should do. And, unlike the tools which predated it, Bitcoin is an open network. One does not have to belong to Kickstarter, or belong to the UK, or belong to a Bank or venture capital fund. One merely needs to run free, open source software on her Internet-connected computer. Third, Bitcoin is an ideal tool for open data. One of the fears associated with big, as well as open, data is that personal identifying information (PII) will leak across these platforms. The scenario is encapsulated in the following hypotheitcal gripe: yes I'm happy big data saved my home from flooding, but no, I'm upset that everyone now knows my social security number and can make fake credit card accounts in my name. Bitcoin already fixes some of that trouble because, as a push-payment tool, it reduces the risk of identity theft. But that is just the beginning. With blockchains and cryptography we can engage in what Nick Szabo calls trustworthy computing. We can own, truly own, our data as tokenized pseudonyms with credentials (to quote David Birch). Imagine a world where I accumulate important local knowledge: my address, the last time my property flooded, my health records, the size and dimensions of my skull. I'd like to donate this useful information to open public databases but I'd rather not have my name attached to it; it's creepy to me that people know where I live and what the inside of my skull looks like! Now, imagine that I can keep this data in a tokenized form and share bits of it, discretely, with the open databases I'm willing to be a part of. The community flood-registry gets my elevation data and pictures of the last flood, the local health center gets a scan of my braincase. None of these individuals, however, gets my name, address or social security number, instead, they get a unique and verifiable pseudonym that shows that I am a legitimate (as in non-scamming, non-spamming) contributor. That tokenized ID can happen in a few ways. We can have a company go out and verify each person and attest to their humanness and their connection to real and useful data-points (floods or skulls) but then we need to trust that company to keep us anonymous. Instead, what if we prove our seriousness by staking something valuable on a pseudonymous network and attach that pseudonym to the data? No one needs to know it's me that provided these data points, they just need to know that I'm a living, breathing person with some investment in the system. A bitcoin here or there. These synergies between Bitcoin and open data, bitcoin and 3D printing, and bitcoin and crowdfunding are just the beginning. Smarter minds than mine will find even better ways to combine such technologies. My goal, Coin Center's goal, at Brussels and in general, is to preserve freedom to innovate with these tools by helping to draw these connections and celebrate them with policymakers. The future is open and Bitcoin is the money that will fund it.

Something's Happenin' Here
The US Supreme Court issued decisions against business interests?
Pretty hard to believe, but apparently so.
The decisions continue a recent trend in which the high court has confounded its critics by siding with workers and plaintiffs in business cases. The Chamber of Commerce has been on the winning side in only one case decided this year, while suffering five losses, including in the stock fraud case decided today.
By a 9-0 vote, the justices said a drug maker can be sued for failing to disclose to investors the scattered medical reports that suggested a serious problem with a drug. The company said it should be shielded from lawsuits unless there was strong medical evidence or statistical proof of a serious problem.
In the workplace case, a Wisconsin plastic company had maintained that it could not be sued for firing Kevin Kasten, an employee who made an oral instead of a written complaint at work about the time clocks. Federal laws protect employees from retaliation for having "filed any complaint" alleging a violation.
Well, OK: I kind of get the first case. Investors are a key component of corporations. Rip them off and this Supreme Court is likely to get testy. And this case was a particularly nasty one. The drug maker was aware that its cold-symptom product was causing problems for consumers, enough so that an FDA review was inevitable, yet it hid that information from a wave of investors.
The second case, however, pits the little guy against the employer. With this Supreme Court, I would have expected the opposite result. So did Justices Scalia and Thomas, who voted that the employer is entitled to a well-composed written complaint about time clock vagaries, and that if they slapped an employee around for just making a verbal complaint, well, too bad. Surprisingly, the majority of the justices felt the retaliation was unlawful.
While I am pleasantly surprised by both decisions, even I am not naive enough to believe that the court this term is making a left-ward tilt. These cases were too clear cut for all but the dynamic duo. It will soon be back to business as usual.

Healthcare is being improved on a regular basis, which means that some individuals with previously untreatable or incurable diseases might currently or soon be able to be cured or receive an easier, more successful treatment. For instance, before the creation of insulin in the 1920s, those diagnosed with type I diabetes were considered to be terminally ill, as they eventually died as a direct result of the condition. Since then, numerous other advancements in health have been made, including the following that have been made in the last 5 – 7 years:
Lupus Treatment
Lupus is a debilitating autoimmune disease in which the body attacks its own joints, skin, kidneys, heart, brain or any other part of the body. Symptoms vary from patient to patient and include muscle and joint pain, extreme fatigue, photosensitivity, hair loss, abnormal blood clotting, anemia, headaches and various others. Women in their child-bearing years, somewhere between the ages of 15 – 44, are usually those afflicted; however, children and even men have been diagnosed with this potentially fatal disease. Usual treatments are anti-inflammatories, corticosteroids, anticoagulants, anti-malarials, immunosuppressives and various medications for pain. Medications specifically created to treat lupus hadn't been developed in over 50 years until the FDA approved Benlysta, a safe and effective new medication for lupus, in 2011.
Robotic Surgery
In 2007, surgeons at the renowned Cleveland Clinic began using tiny robots to remove kidneys from patients, and what used to result in a 10-inch long scar now leaves only small, barely-noticeable incisions. Robotic surgery is now performed at various hospitals around the world, enabling patients to recover quicker, experience less pain, and have fewer risks of complications.
Also performed at the Cleveland Clinic, surgeons removed a woman's unhealthy kidney through the use of a breakthrough procedure called Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) in 2009. Instead of removing the diseased organ in the usual manner, surgeons removed it through her vagina.
Face Transplantation
In 2005, surgeons in France were the first to transplant a woman's face after she sustained extreme disfigurement after being mauled by a dog. More face transplants have been performed since then, which is great news for people with severe deformities of the face due to illness, surgery and injuries.
HPV Vaccine
In 2006, Gardasil was introduced as a vaccination intended to prevent the human papillomavirus, which can lead to cervical cancer and other diseases. The vaccination is indicated for HPV prevention in both young women and young men.
Scientists are constantly performing research on numerous health-related conditions, and they will continue to make technological breakthroughs at accelerated rates. Perhaps there will soon be a cure developed for diabetes, HIV and possibly even cancer. Of course there is no guarantee that cures will ever be discovered for these or any other potentially fatal disease, but the more scientists conduct their research and experiments, the higher the probability of cures, or at least viable treatments, being uncovered.

WDP is not designed to work on a remote web site so it you are using FTP to connect to a remote location and are trying to use WDP for pre-compiling your web site then you will realize that you will see no WDP command in either the build or the solution explorer. Some times users are confused whether their WDP installation or Visual Studio installation has some issues hence thought it would be worth clarifying...
The work around for the same is to copy the web site locally pre-compile it using WDP and then publish it using "Copy Web Site" to the remote location.

This is a must read from the Observer. Former Islamist Hassan Butt writes,
When I was still a member of what is probably best termed the British Jihadi Network, a series of semi-autonomous British Muslim terrorist groups linked by a single ideology, I remember how we used to laugh in celebration whenever people on TV proclaimed that the sole cause for Islamic acts of terror like 9/11, the Madrid bombings and 7/7 was Western foreign policy.
By blaming the government for our actions, those who pushed the 'Blair's bombs' line did our propaganda work for us. More important, they also helped to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology.
Butt passionately urges Muslims to turn away from violence and, in passing, excoriates Ken Livingstone who, he claims, 'refused to acknowledge the role of Islamist ideology in terrorism and said that the Muslim Brotherhood and those who give a religious mandate to suicide bombings in
However, this is not just a 'bash the apologists' article but a thoughtful, brief exposition of Islamist doctrine. Butt argues that what drove him to support terrorism in the past was the sense of 'fighting for the creation of a revolutionary state that would eventually bring Islamic justice to the world'. He sounds very much like the young radicals who embarked on terrorism in
... come forward with a refashioned set of rules and a revised understanding of the rights and responsibilities of Muslims whose homes and souls are firmly planted in what I'd like to term the Land of Co-existence. And when this new theological territory is opened up, Western Muslims will be able to liberate themselves from defunct models of the world, rewrite the rules of interaction and perhaps we will discover that the concept of killing in the name of Islam is no more than an anachronism.
This very much echoes Tony Blair's comments about 'absurd' Islamist doctrines, but then Blair mentions a 'false sense of grievance'. He is still seeing rationalist, if deluded, sources for Islamist ideas. Butt is far more convincing, and chilling, when he describes the ideological basis of the movement as the extension of the premises of Islam by two critical steps.
Their first step has been to reason that since there is no Islamic state in existence, the whole world must be Dar ul-Kufr. Step two: since Islam must declare war on unbelief, they have declared war upon the whole world.
This revolutionary doctrine justifies an irrationalist and endless war for an unobtainable global goal and, whilst in the process of failing to obtain it, it advocates a duty to randomly kill large numbers of people and feel wholly justified in doing so. Butt is clearly right that there is an ideological challenge to be met and one hopes that the Islamic scholars will come forward and contest these doctrines effectively. The consequences of them not doing so is frightening. Those of us who are secularist non-Muslims have another duty, to contest fashionable apologism, whilst our governments (and this feels awkward from someone influenced by anarchism) act in collective self-defence.
This should read, "whilst our governments and baggage supervisors ... act in our collective self defence.

Published on October 14th, 2008
Today, three statements about software are generally accepted as fact. The �rst is that software is the key to the success of current electronic products. Secondly, software development is more than half the development cost for a system-on-a-chip (SoC) at the 65-nm technology node. Finally, most of the development costs for system original-equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are in software rather than hardware. These three aspects have propelled software development to the forefront of problems facing the chip-design industry. To answer this challenge, this traditionally hardware- oriented industry is striving to facilitate OEM software development. This means developing software stacks ready-made to the OEMs and providing ways to develop software in parallel to hardware development by using virtual platforms. It also is possible to go beyond these approaches and actually have end-customer software development guide hardware design. This tactic would turn chip design into a truly software-driven and application-driven business.
Currently, the dominant model of chip development includes a feedback loop in which market input is used to plan the next generation of a family or platform. (And all successful chip designs will be the basis for some family of platform and will have a sequel, just like Hollywood movies.) Together with the experience, foresight, vision, and creative imagination of chip architects, the market feedback drives the feature set and requirements for each successive chip generation. This approach has worked fairly well in the past. Yet as target applications start changing faster and more value is being put into innovative software, the feedback loop needs to become tighter.
Figure 1 shows the long development loop that leads up to feedback from system OEMs. The chip has to be designed and manufactured and have basic software, such as operating systems (OSs), put on it. At this point, the salespeople can probably make a customer commit to the new chip. In addition, system development inside an OEM (or a chain of companies) ensues where middleware, databases, network stacks, Java virtual machines, and other software components are added to form a complete platform. This system platform is then used to develop an actual application or product. Finally, a complete system is ready to be tested. At this point, shortcomings or overkill in features and performance are clear. Feedback from the complete system-development process is used in the product planning for the next chip.
Virtual platforms are the latest industry solution for developing software in parallel to the hardware as well as for validating the performance of a chip when running a particular software load. Yet such validation usually just involves core algorithms, benchmarks, and small bodies of code from the data-plane side. The virtual platforms are mostly created by and conifined to the hardware design groups. The software design groups and end customers are rarely involved.
To get the software designers and system OEMs involved, virtual platforms have to reach outside the hardware design teams. This means making virtual platforms available to internal software-development groups and external customers as early as possible in the design cycle. To be useful, these early virtual platforms have to be able to run "realistic" software loads—in particular operating systems. Application developers can then use them to run and test application code. In Figure 2, the result of putting a virtual platform into the hands of system OEMs and software partners is a better, faster feedback loop. It brings thinking that is prevalent in modern software development to hardware development with the principle: "Test early with end users, iterate often." This approach increases the chances of developing the right thing for the market at the right time.
If all hardware models and supporting software had to be developed from scratch for each new chip, getting a virtual platform and supporting software out to application developers and system OEMs would be extraordinarily time consuming. In practice, however, almost all new chip designs reuse many elements from previous designs. Virtual platforms can therefore be built quicker by reusing existing device models. In addition, hardware drivers and �rmware code can be made reusable simply by adjusting the memory map in an existing board support package (BSP). Once an operating system runs on a particular chip, most software targeting a similar processor and OS also will run. This advantage can be attributed to the layered nature of modern software.
Note that early virtual-platform drops don't have to be complete or deï¬?nite. The very point is that they represent a sketch that can be adjusted. As soon as the basic components required to support an OS boot are in place, the developer can start seeding the development of fundamental software. Today, that means a processor core (or a few), interrupt controller, serial port, Ethernet connection, and memory. Such a simple platform will allow an OS kernel to be ported, which paves the way for the addition of more BSP details and running software. This use of virtual platforms makes it possible to get feedback on the programmability and general usability of a chip very early—in time to actually adjust the design and feature set before committing the design. Areas of risk should be modeled first, such as novel virtualization support or new, complex hardware accelerators.
The virtual-platform approach provides feedback in two stages. First, be sure to have a modeling group separate from the hardware design group. Having a second set of eyes read the design documents and create an executable model of the design is a great way to test and improve the design documentation and the design itself. Second, write software drivers for new or updated devices and integrate them into an OS. This task tests whether the design is easy to use and works in the context of an OS and complex software stack.
The individual device models don't need to be particularly detailed when one starts seeding partners and OEMs. What matters is what the hardware functionality is and how it's programmed—not the detailed how of the implementation and timing. Functional models can be created much faster than detailed models and also run orders of magnitude faster. Very high execution speed is the key to enabling the software feedback loop, as seemingly simple tasks like booting an OS or running network traffic through a firewall application easily involve tens of billions of target instructions that have to be executed. Another important simplification to get device models out early is that only the most important operational modes have to be in place initially. The scope of the model is therefore reduced.
Once the software runs, it's possible to start investigating the detailed performance of a chip design at the workload points where it's relevant. The fast functional model is used to run the software load and get the system into a state that's of interest, and then change a part (or the whole) system to use detailed models (once they're made available). The graphic in Figure 3 shows the concepts of changing over at various points in time and mixing models at different levels of detail within a single simulation. This is the only reasonable way
to gather performance details from large software loads, as running billions of instructions in detailed mode would simply take years.
Looking at this from an organizational perspective, it requires marketing and sales to get involved with a new chip design quite early in the process. Those departments have to contact customers and software partners and secure their support and commitment to trying the virtual platform. Chip customers are often happy to be involved. For a system-level OEM, to be able to influence the design of the components that will go into its next-generation systems is an opportunity to gain competitive advantage while reducing development risk. By using a virtual platform in house, the system- level OEM doesn't need to be concerned about software IP issues. It only needs to give the chip manufacturer the statistics gathered during the run—not their actual code. For OEMs, a virtual platform also opens up the ability to design in a new chip before hardware availability, drastically reducing time to market for new products.
(click on image for a larger version)
To effectively test their software, OEMs will usually need to extend the virtual platform with models of custom chips, specific memories, network configurations, and other virtual systems. For example, one can have a setup in which the generic virtual board for a new SoC has been customized to create mockups of future boards based on the SoC (see Figure 4). The setup also is connected into a system environment built for existing products.
Early virtual platforms also have beneifits other than producing a better hardware design, which are equally important to help a semiconductor vendor capitalize on its new hardware design. Apart from the product management team, which has obvious beneifits from product design feedback, other parts of marketing can find a virtual platform quite useful. It makes it possible to get a software ecosystem in place before the launch of the chip and to run (preliminary) benchmarks and produce marketing materials. Training materials can be developed and tested before the chip becomes available.
For sales teams, a virtual platform is a great sales tool when utilized correctly. It can be used to prove to customers that design decisions that look "odd" are actually the right thing to do and that the product strategy embodied in a design is actually sensible. It also makes it possible to go before key accounts and show them a new product in action, rather than just a set of slides extolling the greatness of the promised SoC (which is especially nice when the competition only has slides). In addition, the use of a virtual platform makes it possible to perform the design-in work while the hardware is being finalized. This aspect shortens the time-to-volume shipments and the real sales commission. A virtual platform also can overcome the initial ramp-up phase of a new chip where development systems tend to be in tight supply, limiting the ability to engage with customers.
In summary, chip designers must garner feedback from the software people faster than they receive it today. The way to get there is to provide virtual platforms to not just internal development teams, but also marketing, sales, and external customers. this approach will lead to better-designed and architected chips and chip families and more satisified end customers.

How is it with arbitrage opportunities in South Korea
Image: South Korean exchanges have been trading with significant premium for some time now - you can monitor it on cryptowat.ch if you set the third column to show prices in USD.
Subscribe to news alerts, airdrop alerts or strategy and security news. (Or all of that).
Korbit and Bithumb, the two most popular cryptocurrency exchanges in South Korea, have been trading with significant premiums compared to the west for some time. It is only after yesterday's "old news" presented as new FUD that a lot of people got interested.
If you have missed the news, yesterday the information started going around that South Korea is shutting down crypto exchanges. There is now an official message in English that explains it is just a regulation against anonymous trading which was made easier by a feature of the banking system in SK that is called "virtual account" - a bank account assigned from a pool used for instant fiat money transfers.
So is there an arb opportunity in South Korea? It is, but not as good as it looks.
While opening an account on a Korean exchange is not a problem, moving the fiat money is both limited to residents and limited in amount. From the Crypto of Korea Kakao group:
Legal foreign residents are kosher, but new regulations will see the closure of accounts held by non-residents. The arb is also basically limited to about 50k USD a year as Korea has pretty tight capital restrictions.
So for instance a Canadian national residing in Korea can pull this off but the profit is still limited, plus he might get questioned for money laundering.
For the rest of us in the pack, there is no feasible way to profit from the premium at all. One obvious way would be via cryptocurrency but there are already enough arbitrage bots on the ratio markets that the prices of all cryptocurrencies trade with premiums there.
An introduction of a "stablecoin" pegged to whatever USD price - however unlikely that is - would be a way out but in reality people who already have ratio arb bots would jump on it and the crypto premium would be gone quickly. Similar rare (and very brief) opportunity might happen on listing of any new coin to the exchanges, if the new coin would start at a western price level. Again, people who already arb there, and that means perhaps even the exchanges themselves, would have advantage.
If you still want to monitor the prices in KRW the best way is this cryptocompare page that shows coins traded in Korea in KRW. If you are looking to follow the premium, you can do that either on TradingView or on CryptoWatch homepage if you set the third column to show prices in USD.

Designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, with outstanding views of the McDowell Mountains, Four Peaks, Pinnacle Peak, Camelback, Red Mountain, and the Superstition Mountains, the 'treasure' is Talking Stick Golf Club with 36 holes of championship golf.
Located on and owned by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and managed by Troon Golf, the club butts up to the new Talking Stick Resort and Casino. For the purist of the Game, this is a golfing experience you do not want to miss. Not one house is located near the courses, nothing but nature abounds during your round surrounded by mountain range views and grasslands on the links style North course.
Golfweek Magazine voted the Club 'Top 100 Modern Courses' and ranked the North course #1 in State.
The course was in excellent shape even though they were about to overseed with the winter Poa Trivialis on the greens and the Perenial Rye on the fairways for Arizona's peak golfing season. It should be perfect for play just as I write this.
My golfing buddies were truly challenged and enjoyed every minute of our round. The course is challenging, yet fair, greens putted true and held well, fairways were lush and the bunkering was thought provoking. It was easy to find trouble if you didn't spend some time on your golf course management. And, it's always nice to find women friendly courses. Don't think you'll be making up strokes on the par 3s…they are the longest ever and don't make life easy but they are wonderful. It would be a fete to make or see a hole-in-one on these par 3s. The holes are named and live up to their names, i.e. Three Roads and Mummy Mountain.
The Club offers a large and complete practice facility along with private and group golf instruction available from the Tim Mahoney Golf Academy.
Hole #2, par 5, 552 yards from the tips. Talking stick golf course has more to offer than just golf, the peaceful tranquility of the golf course allows you to take a step back and enjoy the nature of the course. This hole is a beautiful par five that can be played down the left side of the fairway, but careful it doesn't take much to end up out of bounds. Guess that's why they named it 'Boundary'. The green is reachable in two with a great second shot. It's a fairly small and relatively flat green and with the right read you might end up with an eagle on the scorecard. – by Mike Stockley
Hole #4, par 4, 433 yards from the tips. This was my favorite hole, as well as the #1 handicap on the North Course. Great layout but doesn't offer many locations to play a safe tee shot. There is a large sand bunker that consumes the middle of the fairway, that can easily get you in trouble off the tee. It doesn't end there, if you're going for the green that is surrounded by sand bunkers. This hole was challenging but makes for a wonderful golf experience. – by Mike Stockley
Hole #12, par 4, 392 yards from the tips. Named Red Mountain Gambler, it lets you know immediately by the name about the risk/reward on this hole. Right is the way to go, if you don't hit like the pros. Great thinking man's hole to weigh the risk…can you make that perfect Tin Cup shot?
The staff was outstandingly eager to please and always smiling with impeccable service. They even helped me try out a new product called Shadys and attached it to the cart.
Talking Stick Golf Club has an elegant, yet casual, 26,000 sq. ft. clubhouse which houses the award winning, well appointed pro shop (make some extra time to explore it), locker rooms, private dining areas for groups and the Wildhorse Grille overseen by Chef Patrick Karvis. Check out his Wine & Dinner events, next one is for November 4th and it makes your mouth water just reading the menu online. This will definitely be added to my list of fine dining to experience.
Whether you are grabbing a bite to go or taking time for a leisurely lunch the food is excellent. I had one of the best tuna sandwiches ever while making the turn and of course, my golf buddy had a fabulous grilled hot dog (so tempting and very important that a course offers a great hot dog…in my eyes.)
Make sure you get a round or two in on Talking Stick Golf Club, you'll know instantly that you have discovered a treasure, right in the heart of Scottsdale.

We wrapped up the Upcycle Challenge with Restore Montco and Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County on Tuesday evening with a V.I.P. open house which included wine and hot d'oeuvres. There was a wonderful turnout for both of the house tours and on Tuesday evening my Mom and I walked away taking first place in the Challenge! We were on pins and needles for the last few weeks and after the last home tour we thought first place could have really gone to any of the contestants.
With no formal design training my Mom and I are so honored to take first place, we put a lot of time and effort into this challenge and we are really proud with how our master bedroom took shape using over 95% of items from thrift stores and staying well within our $500 budget.
If you've been following along with us during the Challenge (which started March 8th), you'll know that we have been turning many, many pieces from trash into treasure – 32 items to be exact – and I've added some of the links below the photos for the tutorials I've posted about. There are still many more before and afters and tutorials I am working on – so stay tuned to the blog to learn how you can transform your own thrifted pieces too!
{In case you missed the blank slate we started with, you can see those photos here.}
Without further adieu, we are excited to share with you are final master bedroom photos:

{link to owl tutorial here}
{link to shredded bowl tutorial here}
{link to bird artwork tutorial here}
{horse cup redo tutorial here}
{link to parrot redo tutorial here}
{red FLOR knock-off rug tutorial here}
The challenge was to create a Pinterest-worthy room and we definitely think we brought our "A" game to the table, and did just that! What do you think? Is this a room that you like for yourself or are there items you could see yourself mixing into your own home?

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine — A pair of teenage girls were charged with cruelty to animals Monday after a video of them allegedly putting a cat in a microwave surfaced on Twitter, police said.
The names of the teenagers, both 15, are not being disclosed due to the fact that they are juveniles, according to South Portland police Lt. Frank Clark.
South Portland police had fielded multiple calls on Friday that a video that appeared on Twitter showed the girls putting a cat in a microwave, according to Clark.
The lieutenant did not disclose whether the girls had started the kitchen appliance with the cat inside it.
The girls, both students at South Portland High School, were identified and charged Monday after an investigation resulting from the reports, Clark said.
The cat involved is showing no ill effects, Clark said, but its owners have agreed to turn the feline over to the city's animal control officer, who will seek a veterinary evaluation for the cat.
The case remains under investigation and has been forwarded to the Cumberland County district attorney's office for review, the lieutenant said.

Oct. 4, 2011
CINCINNATI - A strong start to the season has resulted in the Xavier men's soccer team being ranked No. 23 in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA), making the first time the program has been ranked in the premier collegiate soccer poll.
The Musketeers' 6-1-1 record helped garner 72 votes in the poll announced Tuesday by the NSCAA to jump into the Top 25 for the first time. Xavier had been receiving votes in two previous NSCAA national rankings earlier this season.
"It's wonderful to get recognized by the NSCAA," head coach Andy Fleming said. "This is a testament to the staff and the players and their day-to-day and half-by-half approach. I hope our fan base and alumni will be able to enjoy this.
"As far as our team goes, we will always be ranked amongst Division I programs somewhere between one and 202. Right now the number happens to be 23 and that's the extent of us reading into it. The most important thing we can do is have a strong week of practice and focus on our games this weekend against Fordham and La Salle."
The NSCAA is not the only group that has taken notice of Xavier's success this season. The Musketeers are currently ranked 23rd by TopDrawerSoccer.com and 29th by College Soccer News. They are also receiving votes from SoccerTimes.com.
In addition to the national ranking the Musketeers are ranked No. 2 in the Mid-Atlantic region. Xavier has been ranked in the regional poll all six weeks this year and 13 consecutive weeks dating back to last year.
Xavier opens up its conference schedule at the Xavier University Soccer Complex against Fordham at 7 p.m. Friday and La Salle at 1 p.m. Sunday.

It's true! She is now a second grader! And she looks SO grown up. Sniff.
In keeping with tradition, I sewed her first day outfit. The shirt is the Playtime Dress/Tunic from Oliver + S. It is a great pattern and was so simple to make. I only wish there was an option for no back closure, since it's not really necessary in knit. I omitted the sleeves and finished the armholes with some striped knit fabric from an old shirt of mine.
To compare and see how much she has grown, here are her 1st grade and Kindergarten first days.

If your doctor has ordered an arthrogram, there is an alternative for many patients--they can undergo what is called an 'indirect arthrogram'.
A conventional arthrogram involves a minor procedure where the skin over the joint is sterilized and draped. Then, local anesthetic is administered and a needle is placed into the joint. Next, the joint is distended with contrast and the patient then goes for an MRI (or sometimes, CT).
An indirect arthrogram is a much simpler procedure as the contrast is administered through an IV line instead. After a brief delay, the patient then undergoes the MRI without having a needle placed in the joint. For most clinical questions, the images from an indirect arthrogram are equivalent to those obtained after a conventional arthrogram.
This approach has a number of advantages, including decreased risk of infection and bleeding. Also, many patients are nervous for a procedure such as an arthrogram.
The conventional arthrogram is one of the many procedures that a musculoskeletal (MSK) radiologist specializes in. Since relatively few facilities have an MSK radiologist, the physican who performs the arthrograms often has limited experience. An indirect arthrogram may also be helpful in this case and make for a more pleasant experience for the patient.
Here is an article about the effectiveness of indirect arthrography in the shoulder that was published in Radiology.

Pie-eating contest makes mess at Loudy-Simpson Park in Craig
Craig — The serene environment created by hot air balloons launching from Loudy-Simpson Park early Saturday morning gave way to a raucous 15 minutes of gluttony later in the day.
Among the events on the docket at the 2013 Moffat County Hot Air Balloon Festival was the pie-eating contest. Featuring children and adult divisions, the fastest consumer of half a pie donated by the Village Inn would be crowned champion and earn a balloon ride Sunday morning.
A large field turned out for the children's division, as competitors as old as 17 dove into their pies face first with no hands or utensils allowed.
When it was all said and done, three boys were declared winners for their quickness in downing their dessert. Johnathan Macks, 12, Kalob Hillwaert, 12, and Landon Weis, 17, were the fastest to finish.
Jessin Deveraux, 11, had just scraps left in her tray when the race was called. She had trouble scraping up some of the crust toward the end the contest and came up just shy of tying for another win.
None of the three pie-eating champions had done any preparation for the event aside from their daily lives.
"My training has just been eating dinner, I guess," Johnathan said. "I knew I had to cram as much pie as I could and eat it."
Weis nearly was crowned the lone winner about 30 seconds before, but it was decided he still had some pieces of his pie to take care of. On a full stomach, he dipped his head back into the tray and made the necessary sacrifice on his stomach.
"It took some big mouthfuls (to finish the pie), and I felt it coming back up, so I had to be careful," he said. "I had such big bites, it was building up."
In the adult contest, Eric Abram left no doubt about who the winner was. He devoured his half a pie in less than four minutes, coming up with a clean pan but fruit all over his face and beard.
Abram said it would take him awhile to get his goatee properly cleaned, but he was ready to keep on digging into more pie.
"I'm feeling good," he said. "I'd like to have another one."
