Danny Green Sets Record For Most Three-Pointers in an NBA Finals SeriesJune 17, 2013
With 9:40 remaining in the third quarter of Game 5 of the NBA Finals, Danny Green buried his fourth three-pointer of the game. Based on the way he'd been shooting coming into the San Antonio Spurs' last home game of the series (Green had hit at least three triples in each of the four previous games), that shouldn't have been particularly surprising.
But Green's fourth bomb was historic.
Green would go on to hit two more long-range shots, giving him six for the game and running his record to 25 made triples in the finals. When represented visually, Green's accuracy is incredible.
Here's a hint for the Heat: Don't let Green get loose above the break on the left side. He's 8-of-8 from there. No, seriously; 8-of-8.
Cut three times in his young career before finally finding a role as a "three-and-D" wing with the Spurs, Green has been among the most compelling stories of these finals. In fact, there's an argument to be made that he's deserving of some serious individual hardware if San Antonio manages to take the title.
Phoenix Suns forward Jared Dudley isn't the only NBA peer to laud Green's performance. Chandler Parsons, who knows a little something about long-range accuracy himself, chimed in to praise his fellow Texan's hot shooting.
Ray Allen, the man whose finals record Green broke, was less than thrilled with what happened.
Even a guy as locked in as the Spurs shooting guard can't make 'em all, though. But because he's been so consistent, there's generally been a stunned Twitter reaction whenever he doesn't connect on one of his picture-perfect heaves.
Obviously buoyed by his entry into the record books, Green did the impossible on the defensive end shortly thereafter: He blocked LeBron James on a breakaway without fouling him.
Apparently, the confidence his perimeter marksmanship created is spilling into every other aspect of his game.
Green is the future of NBA wings. He knocks down open shots, defends brilliantly and almost always plays within his limited role. Thanks to an outstanding shooting display in this series—which is far from over, by the way—he now also has a place in its storied history.

How many times have you wanted to archive a webpage or save its current state for one reason or another? I know this has happened to me, and I've almost always turned to a scrolling screenshot to snap an image of the entire page or I've used a print-to-PDF app. These methods aren't bad for most purposes, but I know very few people who try to save a webpage using the "save as" option that is built-in to most browsers. If you do go that route you'll normally end up with a bunch of helper files (images, CSS, scripts, etc…) that also get saved in order to fully reproduce the site.
There is an awesome Google Chrome extension called SingleFile that will actually make modifications to a page so that everything (except videos/Flash) are stored in-line and can therefore be saved to just one HTML file. It encodes images and embeds CSS so that there are no helper files needed, and since it is a standard HTML file it can easily be shared with other people without worrying whether they'll be able to open the file.
There are several different "SingleFile" extensions available for Chrome and I want to point out the differences:
- SingleFile – This is the stable version of the extension that is recommended for most users. There are some nice new options and features in the Beta version which is a little further down this list.
- Scrapbook for SingleFile – Creates a browsable archive of all the pages you save. It's a great way to manage saved pages if you don't feel like organizing them yourself on your hard drive.
- SingleFile Beta – Has some great new features including options to remove elements from a page before saving, background processing, and more. The options are all pictured in the screenshot above.
- SingleFile Core Beta – You'll need this if you're using the SingleFile Beta, and has been broken out into a separate extension so that other extension developers can take advantage of the work that has been put into this library.
After installing the extension a new button will be added to the toolbar, and what happens from there depends on the settings you have configured. If you enable the "save processed page" option it will automatically save the file in an obscure directory within your Google Chrome profile. You can create a shortcut to this folder (which is listed in the help section for the various operating systems), but I recommend just enabling the "display processed page" option. Then all you have to do is click the button, wait for it to finish processing the page, and then use Control+S (or Command+S on Mac) to save it to your hard drive.
I highly recommend checking out this extension if you've ever found yourself snapping a screenshot of a page or saving it as a PDF for later reference. At least this way you can still fully interact with the page and click on any of the links.

By targeting bigger fish, we are breeding populations of smaller and weaker fish
Darwin always winsIn nature, bigger, healthier, stronger individuals tend to have more offspring and thus there is a selection pressure in their favor. But humans can put other kinds of pressure on species, for instance by targeting bigger fish, actually reducing their chances of survival and reproduction compared to smaller and weaker individuals. This is what scientists at Bangor University seem to have found, showing in the Trinidadian guppy, a tropical fish, that there is a shift in the genetic make-up of harvested fish to smaller less fertile individuals within just a few generations.
"Our findings have major implications for the sustainability of harvested populations," said Prof Gary Carvalho, of Bangor University's School of Biological Sciences. "We would urge the scientific community, policy makers and managers to consider the capacity of harvested stocks to adapt to, and recover from, harvesting and predation."
They've also shown that undoing the damage to the DNA gene pool of a species, making it return to larger fish, will take 5-10 times longer than anticipated -- "if the DNA change can be reversed at all".
This means we have to rethink how we try to prevent over-fishing and become a lot more careful about how fisheries are affected by human activity.

The essential price information about securities is available to everybody who is interested in the market. They get the information at the same time, and everybody is able to buy and sell at the same time when the market is open. So where are the market secrets?
People often ask why I give away trading secrets. Is a question I am often asked. It tells me a lot about the way people think about the market. They believe that success comes from knowing something that others do not know. They believe a trading edge comes from early access to information. There is an important trading edge related to information, but it depends on analysis.
Getting early information is not an advantage unless we know what to do with it, and this depends on how we understand and analyze the news. China Daily gives readers an important analysis advantage, which allows readers to make better investment and trading decisions. The trading advantage comes from the analysis of information and not from its early delivery.
When I talk about particular trading techniques, approaches, or indicators the same trading advantage applies. It is incorrect to believe that I have an advantage because I use techniques or indicators that are secret. Some people think I have an advantage because the methods I use have restricted circulation.
This is incorrect thinking. Just because information is widely spread does not mean that it cannot be effectively used by many players in the market. This is the key advantage of the information age. The same information can be used by many people simultaneously and they can all make money.
Let's step aside from the market for a moment and explore a similar situation in a related field. Many readers would like to play golf as well as Tiger Woods. What stops them from achieving this level of performance? Is it information and knowledge, or is it skill?
Golfers can watch Tiger Woods in action on any sports channel. Coaching videos are easily obtained and we can watch his perfect shots in slow motion, analyzing every movement. The tools he uses are not restricted. Golfers can purchase the exact same clubs and use the same golf balls as he does. Tiger Woods is very open about the methods and tools he uses to play his game.
We know thousands of golfers eagerly follow the Tiger Wood's method of golf, but this is no threat to his dominance of the sport. No matter how hard we try to emulate his golf swing, his putting, or his choice of clubs we just do not have the skill required to apply this knowledge in a way that matches his performance.
Giving away this knowledge is no threat to Tiger Woods. Giving away my knowledge of trading tools, techniques and indicators is no threat to my trading, or to your competitive advantage.
Our trading advantage comes from the way we use our selected tools. The advantage does not come from exclusive possession of the tools or of information about the market. There was a time when this was true, but that time has long disappeared with advances in technology. Now we know that the tools, the information, and the selected indicators are widely available to anybody who wants to buy a cheap computer and a cable TV. We do not want to be un-informed, but we must accept that the edge from exclusive information is very small. The more we know, and the better tools we use, the greater the chance that our skills will improve. We give ourselves the opportunity to learn and to learn quickly by building on the experience of others.
Step off the golf course and return to the market. Instead of watching Tiger Woods on video you choose to attend a trading workshop, read a book on trading, or try a new indicator downloaded from the Internet. How is this going to give you an advantage? If you believe you have a 'secret' then prepare to be disappointed. Many other traders and would-be traders are following the same path and using the same information. Most of them will fail and leave the market, just as most golfers never get their handicap below 10.
There is only one advantage or trading edge. It comes from the way you apply this information to your own trading to improve your trading skill. Your success does not take away from the success of the person who wrote the book or delivered the workshop. His skill level is much higher and his success rests on how skillfully he plays the same game that you are also engaged in.
Trading knowledge is not a secret. When I give away or share trading knowledge I do not give away my trading skill.
When you play golf you may aim to match Tiger Woods. When you trade the market you may aim to match the performance of the trading superstars. You are most likely to fail in that achievement of these goals, but in the process you will improve your trading results - and your golf.

Hayden schools see funds drop
September 18, 2001
Hayden — With another expected decline in enrollment, Hayden school officials are uncertain how they will deal with an expected loss of $25,000.
With a budget that has already received its fair share of monetary cuts, school officials are uncertain if they can reduce the district's $4.1 million budget even more.
"We are not sure at this point what we will do," Superintendent Scott Mader said. "We have made some pretty hefty cuts already."
The district stands to lose about $25,000 because enrollment for the third year in a row decreased. Preliminary counts show the district's enrollment is down by about 25 students.
How the district plans to address the issue will be discussed at tonight's School Board meeting, which is set for 7 p.m. at the administration office, 495 Jefferson Ave.
"I am going to have to ask the board about what we want to do," Mader said.

Options the district have is cut the budget or wait until next year to account for the loss, Mader said.
What decision the School Board make will not be an easy one, School Board President Kathy Hockin said.
"We have cut every area," Hockin said. "It has been painful and at times grueling."
Because of enrollment loss from the past two years, the district had to cut two teaching positions, which resulted in the loss of a high school social studies teacher.
"This summer the administration worked hard and so did the School Board," Hockin said. "This is something we are still working on. We have to be fiscally responsible."
The reason for the expected loss is because the district stands to lose funding because of the enrollment decline.
The district will not lose funding for all 25 students but will lose funding based on the average of the enrollment from the past four years.
"If we didn't have the four-year average, I don't know where we would be," Mader said.
Aiding the district are the enrollments from the past three years.
For the 1998 school year, the district had an enrollment of 554 students. In 1999, enrollment decreased to 520 students. Last year, enrollment dropped to 478 students.
This fall the enrollment has fallen to 453 students. The decline has occurred at the elementary and high school levels.
According to district counts, the elementary school has an enrollment of 213 students, which is a decrease of 22 students compared to last year.
The high school's enrollment is 124, which is eight students less than last year.
At the middle school, the enrollment is at 116 students, which is an increase of five.
"The enrollment is what I expected," Hockin said. "We graduated a big class, and the incoming class is small."
If the district decides to cut the budget, it will be difficult to do, Mader said.
"It would be difficult to go back and cut $25,000," he said. "Schools are already starting to live within their budgets. We can always go back and cut more, but it will be tough to do."
School officials are hopeful the district's enrollment will level off by next year, because the district will no longer be able to use the 1998 enrollment for state funding purposes.
Come next year, without the 1998 enrollment, Mader is estimating the district will lose close to $160,000 next year.
To prepare for the expected loss, the district moved forward this summer by making cuts to its teaching force, which is saving the district about $70,000.
A vacant elementary special-education position was not filled and a high school social studies teacher position held by Don Toy was cut.
The district has also made cuts to capital improvement projects and is using those funds for general operations.

Loaded: Straight from the red carpetLoaded comes to you straight from the Webbys, quite literally. We bring you news of full-length Disney movies online, changes to ABC's World News Webcast, and a look at the new Sling Player on the iPhone.
[ background music ] >> Please allow me to explain this super formal outfit. The Loaded crew covered the Webbies on Tuesday night, and the event ended far past midnight, so we had a choice. Go home, get up three hours later to shoot Loaded, or go straight to the studio, shoot Loaded, and then go home. We chose to work through the night because we are committed to the dissemination of tech news just for you. It's Wednesday, June eleventh, I'm Natalie del Conte, and it's time to get Loaded. [ music ] ^M00:00:26 [ background music ] For the first time ever you can stream Disney movies online in their entirety. For the first time legally, anyway. The films will air on ABC's Wonderful World of Disney on Saturdays, and then will be available online afterwards from Monday through Friday. This isn't exactly a free and clear on demand strategy, but it is a big step for Disney. You can find a schedule at Disney.com/wonderfulworld. Microsoft is either genuinely unphased about the iPhone, or else they're all pretty good actors over there. The company's president of entertainment and devices division, Robbie Boch, had an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle this week, where he seemed pretty non-plussed by the iPhone announcements. He said that Microsoft already has been serving mobile contented 3G phones for a long time now, and they don't plan to make any competing products. Meanwhile, Microsoft also announced the availability of Bloomberg financial information for Windows Mobile. This will bring economic data, pricing, messaging, alerts, personalized market monitors, and more to business users on Windows devices. ABC is considering ditching its nightly news web cast in favor of a different format. ABC launched the web cast two years ago, but it was basically a repurposing of the nightly news. ABC's news division president David Weston, told the Wall Street Journal that the network wants to reinvent the program's web presence with possible updates on the site throughout the day. I think this is positive. It shows us that the networks aren't just throwing their TV content on the web to see what sticks. They're focusing their energy directly at the internet, so the content here can only get better. [ music ] ^M00:01:56 And now for the reason I'm dressed like this. Here is footage from last night's Webbies. Unfortunately, Steven Colbert did not make it to the red carpet because he was filming a little show called The Colbert Report. But we got to talk to a lot of other celebrities who love and use the web. Take a look. [ music ] ^M00:02:17 [ background music ] >> We're on [inaudible] Beach in New Hampshire [inaudible]. It inspired me to want people to remember that speech. What the internet does for musicians and people is put everyone on the same playing field. On the internet Obama is just as important as my mama. >> From the beginning we started with five hundred bloggers, we now have over two thousand bloggers. And we also have moved to other [inaudible] other sections beyond politics. >> I think it's really about coming at this explosive new interest in the market around social activity in a totally different way. You know, it's not about a new website, it's about a browser that can really help deliver the best of the modern web for users. >> With the internet, I think this is a blank canvas. This is a great way for self expression, and I think people are really taking advantage of it. And I think with more and more technology coming out, making things easier for people to create, I think you'll see even more proliferation of cutting edge content. >> We try not to think about what will or will not offend people. We're just basically going for funny, and always feeling inside like we fall on the right side of the issues. So if it's controversial it's fine, as long as we feel like in the end the right person is being targeted. >> It's just the age of artists developing themselves, and just original content with that they're 100% you know, that they do on their own. And they don't receive any pressure from any record companies or anything. >> Have you ever illegally downloaded any music? >> I have not illegally downloaded music. I make a point to go on iTunes and buy stuff. >> Photos and footage of the Webbies will be available at webbieawards.com. Blackberry users can now upload photos directly to Flicker. A new download for the Blackberry lets you take photos, file them away into your Flicker album, and adjust their size. Several phones already do this, such as the Helio Notion and the Nokia N95, but this just shows an effort on Blackberry's part to be both corporate and consumer. CNET's own John Falcone got a look at the new Sling media player for the iPhone. Sling has made it so that you can take your home DVR content and play it with you wherever you go on the iPhone. Now since the iPhone is technically not open to third party content just yet, this was proof of concept on a jail broken iPhone. But we still think it looks cool. Verizon, Sprint, and Time Warner are in agreement to block access to child pornography from their servers. According to New York attorney general Andrew Cuomo [assumed spelling], the ISPs will pay one point one million dollars to remove and prevent this content from their services. Time Warner cable recently found some of this, and eliminated the newsgroups. And last year an agreement with My Space and Facebook was made to strengthen guards against online sexual predators. It seems like ISPs are still looking for an effective way to crack down on child pornography floating around the web, although newsgroups are an antiquated method of sharing files, so it could just easily be that this content was buried there for a long time. Jennifer Flowers and Paula Jones are using the internet in what I consider to be a pretty shameless grasp at fame. The two ladies who accused President Bill Clinton of having inappropriate relationships with them back in the nineties have joined together on their own website where they offer video clips of their testimonies of what happened between each one and the President. As if posting these clips wasn't brazen enough, they're also charging for this garbage. It costs one ninety nine to watch what we all saw years ago, and have ceased to care about. This is opportunistic, considering how timely the Clintons are right now. [ background music ] Please do not purchase these webisodes, don't support this nonsense. Those are your headlines for today. Join us tomorrow when we take a look at M Night Shalaman's film The Happening. I'm Natalie del Conte with CNET TV, and you've just been Loaded. ^M00:05:48 [ music ]

A SCOTSWOMAN who fought apartheid has been honoured posthumously for her courage.
Kilmarnock-born Eleanor Kasrils was the first woman recruited into the African National Congress's military wing, as exclusively revealed in the Sunday Mail in October.
On Thursday, her proud daughter Brigid accepted the Luthuli award for valour on her late mother's behalf.
Eleanor, who died in 2009 aged 73, became politically active in her adopted homeland of South Africa because of her revulsion at the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre, in which police killed 69 black demonstrators.
Shy and softly spoken, she was the last person anyone would have suspected of being a secret agent.
She used the bookstore in Durban which was managed by her mother to gather and pass on intelligence but she also engaged in far more dangerous activities.
In 2000, she received an amnesty from the post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission for bombing the Durban
security police offices, stealing dynamite, destroying electricity pylons, illegally crossing the Botswana border and escaping from police custody.
She and her husband Ronnie, who went on to become an intelligence minister in the ANC government, fled South Africa in 1963 after she escaped from custody.
Ronnie said yesterday: "She was an unsung heroine who never sought publicity and did extraordinary things so the people of South Africa could be freed from the shackles of apartheid and gain freedom, dignity and democracy."
Brigid, who received the award from President Jacob Zuma, said: "The family is very pleased and very proud of her for getting this award.It is good to see the government honouring these people who did their bit to win the country's freedom."
The ceremony honoured about 60 people but Eleanor was one of only a few women and a handful of white people.
The medal commemorates Albert Luthuli, a former president of the ANC who was awarded the 1960 Nobel Peace Prize.
He was the first African, and the first person from outside Europe and the Americas, to get the Peace Prize. He was also a former rector of Glasgow University.

New York is ready for the magic
Just because Marty Nolan saw workers stringing lights near BofA headquarters on Wednesday, and just because when he asked whether they were for the parade, they said they were for Christmas, today is the first day of "Ho Ho Huh?," a ragtag series about far-fetched/depressing/absurd/horrifying Christmas come-ons.
This was a note sent Thursday to Chronicle editor Anastasia Hendrix from a PR person in New York: "APBR email server is down and we don't have power or running water, and the only thing I can think about is pitching you our holiday items for your gifting stories."
Her well-known clients do not include purveyors of sponges.
P.S.: Meanwhile, customers of Chase's United MileagePlus credit cards, including Eve Pell, received a "New York City Holiday Magic" pitch e-mailed on Nov. 1. The wheels were probably set into motion on this way in advance, but a little while later, perhaps someone realized the timing was off.
Two hours later - I'm picturing some executive slapping his forehead and saying, "We sent out what?" - rocketing into my in-box was a plea from United for customers to donate money, for which they will receive bonus miles, to the Red Cross for Sandy relief efforts. "Our thoughts go out to all those who are coping with the aftereffects of the storm," said United.
Art lovers assembled at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art last Tuesday to preview two shows that opened on Saturday: "Jasper Johns: Seeing With the Mind's Eye," curated by the museum's Gary Garrels, and "Jay DeFeo: A Retrospective," curated by Dana Miller of the Whitney Museum.
Johns, of course, is an internationally known artist, the focus of many exhibitions in many museums. DeFeo was a Bay Area artist, far less well known. Walking around the crowded galleries, the museum's Neal Benezra said he was particularly gratified that the Whitney, where the work putting the show together had been done, had been sympathetic with the San Francisco museum's needs - SFMOMA closes for construction in June, and this is the only calendar slot that was available - allowed its debut to be in DeFeo's home town. "Very collegial," he said.
Two DeFeo works on display belong to the Bay Area's Clint Reilly, who said he met the artist at a bookstore event celebrating the release of Tomas Albright's "Art in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1945 to 1980," published after The Chronicle critic's death. She signed his book; reading it was the seed for Reilly's extensive collection.
Also talked with art writer Paul Karlstrom, who mentioned that his mid-1970s talks with DeFeo were transcribed and on the Smithsonian's art archive. Reading it the next morning was like talking firsthand with the artist.
Among its revelations was DeFeo's recollection of being "so damned hard up" that at one point she tried to steal two cans of paint from a hardware store in Oakland. She got caught, was prosecuted, spent a day in jail and lost her teaching job as well as her teaching credential.
In jail, she was "with a bunch of drunks and prostitutes, and they asked me, what did you do? They thought it was a very colorful crime. Maybe that's why I finally went into black and white. The red paint really did me in."
Ann Getty had 300 or so pals over on Thursday to celebrate the publication of Diane Dorrans Saeks' new book, "Ann Getty, Interior Style." Many conversations, and more on specifics later. In general, Getty hospitality is large, and the house is posh, which is an understatement. It's the best illustration of the designer's taste.
But after all, this is San Francisco, and our 1 percent is different from everyone else's 1 percent. I heard a lot of talk about the election, and it was all in favor of the re-election of the guy in the White House, which couldn't possibly be as lavishly decorated as the one we were in. "I thought it was a big deal," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein about New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg having endorsed President Obama that afternoon.
P.S.: Although generally not a rat, I am duty bound to report that there was no 10-cent charge for shopping bags provided with the books. The books, however, were free; maybe that puts them outside the law.

Hi guys, so I've been lurking here for a while now...making the occasional post, and soaking in all the valuable information on offer.
I started the JP90 routine, but stopped. University, work, bodybuilding, my band...the last thing I wanted to do in my free time is stretch my dick.
Anyhow, I have a load of free time now. I've graduated, I'm single, and now live on my own
I certainly don't lack discipline. I completely transformed myself, dropping 100lbs, and becoming a competitive natural bodybuilder.
I'm a charming young man, and feel comfortable about my appearance... I just hate the 5.5" cock I'm packing. Sure, the length is close to "average", but my girth leaves much to be desired. I've never had a complaint in the bedroom. I do my best.
Anyhow, I'll be restarting the JP90 routine...and incorporating some of Clive Peter's advice from "Maximize your manhood". I also plan to start hanging after a while (how long?). I'd love to break 6 inch mark...a legitimate 6 inch, not pressing a ruler deep into my pubis just to reach it. 7 inches would be my dream, I'd be perfectly content with that
Any advice/words of wisdom guys?

Congrats on graduating and becoming "your own man." My advice is to start out slow, keeping it as simple as possible.
The fact that you are a competitive natural bodybuilder should make your dedication to p.e. much easier to establish.
My advice is to practice manual p.e. for a good six months before even thinking about hanging. Milk it for all its worth.
Always err on the side of caution so as not to injure yourself and ruin the possibilities.
Keep in mind that stretching reduces EQ, but jelqing and kegeling, along with edging, improve EQ.
Best of luck, and..........

So the stretch/warmup portion of the JP90 could reduce EQ?
Or am I safe to do those?

Do the jp90 as written. As far as measuring bone pressed is the true measure of depth when balls deep. Non bone pressed is show length. So measure bone pressed for accurate growth gain measuremments.

Kayleigh Briggs from the Dover campus of East Kent College won a coveted gold medal at the National World Skills event at the NEC in Birmingham last week.
There were great celebrations together with emotional tears from proud mum Maria when 22 year old Kayleigh Briggs was announced as the winner in the Inclusive Skills competition for dressing long hair. The Inclusive Skills competition was developed to showcase the skills of students with learning difficulties and Kayleigh has demonstrated how hard work and dedication can help to overcome almost any inherent problems and go on to achieve such an outstanding result. The judges were so impressed with her work that they said they had rarely seen such an amazing hairdo from a student and that Kayleigh's work was at a completely different standard to everyone else in her category.
>Her proud competition tutor Zoe Kersley – who herself was competing in the show said: "For the past few months Kayleigh has spent two afternoons every week at the college in her own time practising for this event. She did a brilliant job at the National Skills competition despite being nervous and in a completely different and somewhat overwhelming environment."

Download the authoritative guide: Enterprise Data Storage 2018: Optimizing Your Storage Infrastructure
Let's take a look at what happens if we lose a drive in a Dynamic Disk Pool. Figure 2 below, provided courtesy of NetApp, illustrates what happens when we lose drive 6 (D6).
Figure 2: What happens if you lose a drive in a DDP (copyright NetApp and used with permission)
This loss interrupts a number of D-Stripes that had D-Pieces on the failed drive. Therefore, this requires that the affected D-Stripes be reconstructed. In general, a Dynamic Disk Pool always has some spare capacity in case of drive failure. Also, you don't have to use all of the space in a DDP in volumes, leaving some possible additional spare capacity as well. This spare capacity is utilized during the reconstruction. Note that reconstruction in DDP is different than the classical RAID reconstruction because the D-Pieces and D-Stripes have to be regenerated while everything is rebalanced across the drives to ensure the pseudo-randomness of the data distribution.
In a "normal" RAID-6 with an 10+2 layout, only 11 drives participate in the reconstruction when one drive fails and all of them write to a single spare drive "target." The reconstruction time is limited by the number of drives and the write speed of one of the drives.
In the case of DDP with the same number of drives, the entire pool of drives participate in the reconstruction. This means we get a larger number of drives working on the reconstruction for both reads and writes. Plus the regeneration and rebalancing happen in parallel, further improving performance. All of this means DDP reconstruction goes faster than classic RAID-6.
A key thing to notice is that unlike classic RAID reconstruction, DDP's reconstruction only reads the required D-Pieces for the affected D-Stripes. The D-Pieces in the unaffected D-Stripes are not read. This means we don't have to read entire drives, keeping us much further away from the URE danger zone.
During the reconstruction, priority is given to any D-Stripe missing two D-Pieces to lessen the chance of another failure that might make recovery of the affected D-Stripes impossible. Remember that the D-Stripes are built using RAID-6. Now that two pieces of the RAID-6 group are gone, you are vulnerable to data loss in the event of a failure of a third piece. Since the data is in the controller, both D-Pieces are regenerated at the same time, fully restoring the D-Stripe. This makes the window of vulnerability for any D-Stripe that has lost two D-Pieces very small.
In the case of a lost drive, the mean number of D-Stripes with two more affected D-Pieces is fairly low. This means that a reconstruction of the "critical" D-pieces can happen quickly (remember that they are only 512MB in size). The regenerations happen so quickly that additional drives could fail within minutes without data loss. This is very important to realize -- using DDP you can lose more than 2 drives. So while RAID-6 is used at the lower level, the design of DDP allows us to tolerate the loss of more than two drives without data loss.
Netapp says that with twelve 1TB drives (twelve is the minimum number of drives in a DDP), the rebuild time for a classic RAID-6 group (10+2) is almost eleven hours for a particular chassis. The same time for a DDP can be as low as seven hours for a complete reconstruction. While this may not seem like a huge improvement, it is about a 36% decrease in rebuild time.
Also, remember that this is a complete recovery. Having RAID-6 redundancy on some of the impacted D-Stripes happens very quickly, giving you possible protection from any more failed drives. For a classic RAID-6 group you have to wait eleven hours to get complete RAID-6 protection. Whereas with DDP you get some D-Stripes with complete RAID-6 protection very quickly and the number of D-Stripes with full RAID-6 protection increases with time.
You can compare the classic RAID-6 with DDP in terms of resiliency fairly easily. As soon as one drive is lost, the classic RAID-6 operates in degraded mode (only one drive for resiliency). But the classic RAID-6 doesn't get full redundancy until the very end when the reconstruction is finished. DDP regenerates and rebalances very quickly, so the parts of DDP that have RAID-6 protection grows with time.

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Skip Schumaker singled to snap an eighth-inning tie after the Cincinnati Reds twice rallied to even the score in the St. Louis Cardinals' 6-3 victory Saturday.
Albert Pujols had an RBI double and added one of two bases-loaded walks in a three-run eighth for the Cardinals. Pujols is 9 of 17 with three doubles and four RBIs the first six games of a seven-game homestand, including his first day off of the season Thursday.
David Freese added his second homer of the season and second in three days for the Cardinals, who have won six of seven and ended the Reds' five-game winning streak.
Kyle Lohse allowed a run and struck out eight in seven innings, but remained the lone member of the St. Louis rotation without a win. He matched his best strikeout total since June 30, 2007, when he was the Reds and faced the Cardinals in Cincinnati.
Lohse totaled seven strikeouts his first four starts of the year.
Ryan Franklin (1-0) got the last four outs after the Reds scored twice off the St. Louis bullpen. He benefited from a poor throw by Colby Rasmus on Scott Rolen's tying sacrifice fly to shallow center. Rasmus, who was removed in a double switch, went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts.
The only run the first six innings came on Freese's drive that barely cleared the right field wall in the fourth. Jay Bruce tripled to start the seventh and Orlando Cabrera followed with a sacrifice fly to tie the game.
Pujols' RBI double put the Cardinals ahead 2-1 in the seventh and he scored on Scott Rolen's throwing error as the Cardinals took a 3-1 lead. Rolen's wild throw to first on Holliday's infield hit got away from Votto and allowed Pujols to score.
Jason LaRue doubled off Carlos Fisher (0-1) with one out in the eighth, pinch runner Jaime Garcia advanced on a groundout and Brendan Ryan walked on a full count before Schumaker lined a single to left off Daniel Ray Herrera.
Matt Holliday also walked with the bases loaded, this one off Micah Owings.
NOTES: C Yadier Molina and 3B Freese got tangled up a bit chasing Bruce's foul pop in the fourth and Freese's glove went flying as Molina made the catch near the Reds dugout. ... Of the Cardinals' 111 runs, 53 have come on homers. ... Rolen, a seven-time Gold Glove winner, has four errors after totaling five last year with Toronto and Cincinnati.

I just got my Super Mario Bros pouch for my DS! Look! Look!
Putrajaya pics will be back soon.
For today, I wanna tell you guys about this game I'm playing on my NDSL (Nintendo DS Lite)
It's called "Elite Beat Agents"
When I first saw this 3 guys in the cover.. I told myself… "must be some boring cartoonish games"
It's actually a comic-ish music rythm game.
You start with picking a victim from around the globe… a victim of bad luck.
then these 3 agents will be sent by the commando to the earth to help the victim to overcome the problems faced…. by DANCING!
all their dance moves will be controlled by us, tapping the touchscreen accordng to the music beat.
if u fail to folo the beats, the victim will suffer more of the bad luck.
so it's up to the player to save them.
O2Jam fanatics will love this game.
Here's a video of me playing this video in office. Thanks Albert for recordng this video.

I came across this definition today, from a large UK landscape practice: "a sustainable urban landscape achieves the correct balance between environmental, economic and social needs" and regret that it is not helpful. It does not tell us how to find a 'balance' and it implies that landscape architects, assuming they are to be involved, have some kind of knowledge, skill or training which lets them decide what is 'correct'. A much better definition is required if we are to have better designs for sustainable landscapes.
5 thoughts on "Definition of a sustainable urban landscape"
If a balance is an equilibrium: then one pole is to diminish and the other is to increase?
Considering the environmental;
Unsustainable practices might potentially lead to diminished landscapes whilst sustainable practices might lead to enhanced landscapes? Maybe the equilibrium position is conservation of the landscape?↓
It would seem the first cities date to the Bronze Age?↓
There is an interesting passage in 'Individual and Structural Determinants of Environmental Practice' by Anders Biel, Bengt Hansson, Mona Mårtensson (p5);
"A common understanding of human behaviour is that if only people are informed and knowledgeable, they will act in accordance with this new knowledge. In the Chapter 'Environmental Behaviour: Changing Habits in a Social Context' Biel argues that many behaviours with environmental consequences are well practised activities of a habitual kind. This is not true for activities such as consumption behaviour and travel mode choice. Not only may people be less attentive to information targeted at the well practised behaviour. Even if people are mindful of this information and form an intention to perform a new behaviour, this intention will be in 'conflict' with the old habit. As long as behaviours are performed in constant contexts, the intention to perform a well-practised activity may not be accessible to conscious awareness. Unless people are reminded about their recently formed intention to perform a new behaviour, the intention to perform the habitual behaviour may be triggered more or less automatically. In such potential conflicts, the habitual behaviour takes precedence. Whether people adopt a new behaviour or not is also influenced by what others do. If many around us practice a certain behaviour, this serves as a clue to proper behaviour. The mere fact that others continue to commute by car may silence ones conscience for doing the same."↓

Jessica Eaton's Beautiful Photography Is a Little Hard To Explain
Behold is Slate's brand-new photo blog. Like us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter @beholdphotos and on Tumblr. Find out more about what this space is all about here.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, Jessica Eaton's current work Polytopes cover a lot of territory with only 25.
On display at M+B in Los Angeles until Dec. 22, 2012, the press release for Polytopes states that Eaton "incorporates experimental analogue-based photographic techniques including color separation filtration, additive color theory, multiple exposures, motion blur, in-camera masking, cross polarization and lighting techniques."
Sounds like a lot of work.
The truth is Eaton's work is stunning and worth about 975 more words; they're just somewhat difficult to get out. There are plenty of reviews and explanations of Eaton's processes, but her techniques can end up seeming more complicated the more you investigate.
Eaton uses 4x5 large-format film, creates the work without the aid of Photoshop, and isn't afraid to make mistakes. She's a fine-art throwback to the days when you would drop off a roll of film and wait to see if any mysteries or happy accidents were discovered in the lab.
Eaton's titles for her work are often literal, though it might take a bit of research to get the entire meaning of her techniques and references.
If you've ever listened to a Cocteau Twins record, you can relate to the mystery between the song titles and the music. Eaton's titles aren't as abstract, but like the Cocteau Twins, Eaton's work has an ethereal quality that is better felt than described. Looking at her images allows your mind to wander, about not only the processes Eaton uses to create the images but also the simplistic beauty of the images; it's easy to get lost in them.

Gifts from below: Fluorine and fluorite in the western USA-
a monitor of geothermal energy and ore forming fluids
Troy Rasbury
Department of Geosciences
7:30 PM Friday Feb. 3, 2017
We have found a strong positive correlation between fluorine (F) concentrations and the magnitude of strain in the Great Basin region (Fig. 1). F correlates with high 3He/4He ratios which are indicative of mantle sources for fluids. In fact, for regions where we have F concentration data, we find a much stronger correlation between F concentrations and strain rate than has been shown for 3He/4He ratios and strain rate.
The occurrence of geologic deposits of fluorite (CaF2) within fault-associated veins records a similar spatial distribution as F concentrations and 3He/4He measurements in present day geothermal fluids suggesting long term (10's of millions of years) mantle links. Fluorite deposits have a clear association with important ores of beryllium, molybdenum, tungsten, tin, uranium, rare earth elements etc. Indications are that the F in these deposits is from a mantle source. Our work on U-Pb ages for targeted deposits of fluorite will test the timing of these potentially mantle-derived fluids and how this fluid input is linked, both spatially and temporally, with the evolving tectonic boundary forces and how processes such as this bring 'gifts' of ores and geothermal energy from below.

Interpreting the Geologic Record of Mars, From Orbit
Deanne Rogers
Department of Geosciences
7:30 PM Friday Feb. 24, 2017
Rock units and landscapes provide a record of environments and geologic processes that affected planetary surfaces in the ancient and recent past. On Mars, rock units as old as ~3.8 billion years are common and exposed at the surface. This is in stark contrast with Earth, where plate movements and an active hydrologic cycle have obscured much of the ancient record through crustal recycling, mountain-building, extensive erosion and burial. The ancient rock units of Mars show evidence of volcanism, fluvial erosion, and various styles of sedimentation, revealed through high-resolution cameras and infrared measurements. However, a number of factors complicate the interpretation of such ancient surfaces, such as overprinting by meteor impacts and wind erosion. These resurfacing agents are so powerful, it is remarkable that such ancient rocks are still preserved. I will present a high-resolution photogeologic tour of Martian landscapes and features, and describe some of the methods and challenges involved with interpreting the history of these surfaces.
Deanne Rogers is an Assistant Professor of Geosciences at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, New York. She uses remote sensing techniques, statistical methods and laboratory spectroscopy to investigate planetary surface processes.

Tectonics around the Solar System
Until the past few decades the study of geology and tectonic activity was limited to our own Earth and, through a telescope, the Moon. That has changed. Spacecraft have now explored all of the planets, numerous moons, comets and asteroids, and (thanks to New Horizons), even Pluto.
Plate tectonics has made it possible to explain how, why and where our planet forms mountain belts, rifts, the diverse types of volcanoes and earthquakes, and how Earth came to have both an ancient granitic continental crust and a much younger basaltic oceanic crust that is constantly being created by sea-floor spreading and destroyed by subduction.
The planets and moons around the solar system have tapped diverse sources of energy to create spectacular displays of many kinds of tectonics, with crust that has folded and faulted in all of the fundamental ways found on Earth. We are coming to understand, though, why we find nothing quite like our own plate tectonics anywhere else in the solar system. Our planet's style of recycling crust through subduction and sea-floor spreading remains unique.
Dan Davis is a professor (and currently the department chair) in the Department of Geosciences at Stony Brook University. His research interests include plate tectonics, the geology of mountain belts, and geophysical studies of glacial and coastal deposits. He is also co-author of a popular guide to amateur observational astronomy, Turn Left at Orion.

Westboro is coming to my college
RE: Westboro is coming to my college
OK... I was prodding you a bit. Sorry.
There is a point though. You need to define "doing something about it".
Using your burning house analogy, you are not doing anything about it. You are laying in bed screaming at the fire or maybe you are throwing wood at it to make it go away which actually makes it worse. Figure out what it takes to actually save yourself and everyone else if possible. Or figure out what exactly it takes to put the fire out. Ignoring can = doing something about it. Screaming or demonstrating or arguing or fighting can = doing nothing "about it".
It's the difference in doing what you want to do and doing what will stop the problem. You just want to do something that makes you "feel" that you are doing something about it. The real evidence is in your own attitude... "I'll do what I have to do" or "...ask yourself if I care at all about it" meaning my opinion. You don't give a damn about fixing the problem, you just want to feel like your are and you don't care what anyone thinks.
This forum is a place for people who want to think and learn and gear up for the battle for the future of the human race. If all you want to do is feel good about yourself, you are in over your head. People here will not be kind to you if you don't give a damn about other opinions and don't wish to find out if you are right or wrong. That's what the fundamentalists do; they want to feel good about talking at non-theists and we certainly aren't kind to them beyond a certain point.
If you are a troll, you are in the right place because we like trolls. They are fun to play with and sharpen out skills... sometimes. If you are not a troll, I think you are in over your head.
Yeah, I know, I know, you don't give a shit.

Sorry, you did share your point. I don't need to try to understand your position if it is inadequate for me. You want me to say, "gee, you have a good point and so do I" Sorry but I can't, because you don't have a good point, just "I wanna because I wanna" and some historical references that actually can prove my point. There is no point from your position... just anger/resentment. Anger is a feeling, a reaction. A point is reasoned information, a logical position that can be argued. I wish you could see that because I do give a damn.
I will end this now finally. Have your say if you wish and I will leave it to you. We are pretty far off topic though understandably so.

That is my all time favorite quote from Edmund Burke, and he is a man who said many poignant things.
Anyway, what people are suggesting here is not doing "nothing". On the contrary, an active campaign to deny them an audience and to shun them is a way of countering them. Probably a more effective way then shouting back at them. In the movie The Laramie Project they showed how the friends of Mathew Sheppard chose to deal with them when they came to Laramie, WY and I think it proved to be very effective. The Phelps clan had not seen it before and, at least in the movie version, it caught them off guard and shut them up a bit. They are prepared for that now, obviously, but they are generally prepared for all types of frontal assaults. They thrive on that, actually, as it gives them what they want most: publicity and media time.
As you point out, you are free to do what you want. But, the idea of meeting them with silence is not nearly the same as nothing. I think some of the ideas here are fantastic. The ROTC soldiers standing at attention, the people walking by and not saying a word, or just an entire community staying away. All of those actions are overt and send a clear message. And, it's a message that Phelps and his merry band of idiots can't shout back at no matter how hard the may try.
I know I was born and I know that I'll die. The in between is mine.

RE: Westboro is coming to my college
I'm not sure what age has to do with anything, and I'm not sure what historical conclusion you are drawing from here. But, yes, you are free to do as you please. I don't think there is any one "right" way to combat these asshats and obviously opinions will vary. Personally, I think giving them what they want is a huge mistake as all it seems to do is encourage them. That's what history teaches me when I look at the Felps clan.
To each their own, though.

RE: Westboro is coming to my college
Trolls!? The Westboro church are trolls!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Please no more! My ribs hurt from laughing. That's good comedy there. The Westboro church people are not trolls.
Trolls say things to get a reaction but they know what they're doing is going to piss people off as they do it for their own entertainment. I know for I am one.
The Westboro church does this because they actually think that they are doing the right thing. They are not doing it because it's fun. They don't get off by pissing people off (At least I hope they don't).
As for getting them to go away. I suggest rotten fruit or potatoes. Or a lot of strong stinkbobms placed round the area. You don't have to attack the church goers directly. A few well placed stinkbombs placed around their area of protest will have good results. Sure they might move to another area but stinkbombs are cheap and easy to move around.
Ignoring them will not make them go away. They are like that irritating fly buzzing around the room. Ignoring it doesn't make it go away. It just keeps flying around. But you don't want to go over the top and try to gun the thing down with a shotgun because that's just pointless. If you grab a flyswatter though, you can kill that annoying thing dead with minimal effort. Yeah. Kill it dead.
The Westboro church is nothing more than an irritating fly that needs to be swatted. The question is how? Ignoring will not work neither will yelling and getting outraged at them. Unless you intend to kill them getting pissed off won't solve anything. Subtle strategic plans and actions will win the day. All you have to do is come up with a cloak and dagger idea.. I've given my tinkbomb idea but many more exist. Come up with something
Twice the anger, Half the space!

RE: Westboro is coming to my college
Please note that I have never advocated out-shouting the WBC.
RE: Westboro is coming to my college
So Gawdzilla, you say defacto7 is not hearing what you are saying, but are you hearing what the rest of us is saying? How about some of my ideas, don't some of them sound good to you? Also this idea with stinkbombs that Hamata k has suggested is maybe the best there is.
So, here is what I would do with it. I would come alone, stand 10 meters from them, not say a single word or even look at them directly, then I would take out the stink bombs, put a few in the middle of their group and walked away 10-20 meters. Then I would silently wait for them to make their move, if they ignore the smell, I would just repeat the process after 10 minutes, when the stink bombs wear of. If they move to a different location, I would move with them and do the same thing again and again...
If they dared to hit me or become aggressive, i would start bitchslapping them with great vengeance and furious anger. Then my friends (who had to be close for protective reasons) would join me and we would bitchslap them until they stop believing in any God... Of course, everything should be videotaped, for police to have the evidence who started the fight. And for the youtube, of course.
I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.

Best Buy
One theory: Amazon and Apple are to blame
A market analysis released last summer found that Amazon.com
As it turns out, though, Amazon is considered only one of the problems. Another is Apple
A recent article from Reuters opines that Best Buy and fellow sad sack Radio Shack
And the real story is ...
Is Best Buy really being bullied by the big boys? Certainly, the competitive threats are real, but to lay all of the company's problems at that doorstep seems overdone to me. After all, competition is the name of the game, and other retailers going up against Amazon are not suffering the same fate as Best Buy. As it turns out, the real problem is how Best Buy treats its customers.
The company suffered two huge public-relations embarrassments late last year, during the run-up to the all-important Christmas buying season. The first, whereby customers who had rung up big purchases within the year were unable to take advantage of the store's online targeted specials, was bad enough. The second problem was a customer-service nightmare: The company notified many shoppers within days of the big holiday that the orders they had placed weeks previously would go unfulfilled. Doubtless, these incidents contributed greatly to Best Buy's less-than-stellar Q4 numbers.
Then there was the Forbes.com article, which pointed out the hard-sell tactics -- usually unrelated to the customer's actual shopping mission -- being employed by Best Buy staff. Forbes noted that the piece received almost 2.5 million views and nearly 1,000 comments in a week's time. Even Best Buy's CEO responded to the piece, albeit on the company's own turf.
The post by CEO Brian Dunn on Best Buy's blog defending the store isn't half as interesting as the many comments by employees and customers -- 292 comments at last glance, in fact. Quite a few stories describe employees being forced to hard-sell expensive services that customers don't want, while customers complain about being pressured to buy things they aren't interested in. I didn't read all the comments, of course, but it seems obvious that this issue is something that the company needs to address soon if it to survive.
All in all, the Best Buy method of doing business is broken and needs to be fixed. Even S&P has taken note. Instead of viewing the drastic changes the company has planned as moving in the right direction, the agency sees a shakeup borne of problems inherent in the company's business model. And blaming Apple and Amazon isn't going to help the company in the least.

This is about the time of year I start getting inquiries from local media about why leaves turn colors in the fall. What they really want to know is the exact week of peak color to inform the leaf-peepers. I usually respond that the plants are preparing to enter dormancy and peak color depends on prevailing weather conditions and is often unpredictable.
But what exactly is dormancy and why is it crucial to plants? Like explaining why leaves change color, the answer is not straightforward and "depends," which is not the answer most people want to hear. I'll attempt to explain in layman's terms an interesting facet of a plant's life.

The Underappreciated Biennial
by Carlotta Paulsen-Boaz
Fans of perennial flowers admire both their longevity in the garden and their capabilities. Where they once planted a daylily, by division, they can have three or more clumps in a few years. Fans of annuals tout their quick results and their lengthy bloom period. Pop in your six-pack and, if it isn't blooming already, it soon will be – and will bloom for months on end.

The cardiovascular system is composed of heart, arterials, capillaries and veins. It is the structure foundation for keeping blood circulation, material exchanges between blood and tissue and transmitting information of body fluid. The structure changes of cardiovascular system will be responsible for the functional changes that disturb whole and/or local blood circulation. The disorders of cardiovascular system affect the human health and life and are a leading cause of death in the world. In this chapter, we will mainly discuss the commonest diseases of heart and arterials, including ①degenerative vascular disorders including atherosclerosis, hypertension; ②ischemic heart disease including myocardial infarction, angina pectoris and sudden death; ③myocarditis and cardiomyopathy;④diseases of the pericarditis;⑤rheumatic fever;⑥infective endocarditis;⑦disorder of cardiac valves including mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation.), and so on.

Women, Work and Computerization : Charting a Course to the Future
Free delivery worldwide
Dispatched from the UK in 4 business days
When will my order arrive?
ELLENBALKA Simon Fraser University ebalka@Sfu. ca 1. INTRODUCTION In developing the call for papers for the 7th International Federation of Information Processors (IFIP) Women, Work and Computerization Conference, we sought to cast our net widely. We wanted to encourage presenters to think broadly about women, work and computerization. Towards this end, the programme committee developed a call for papers that, in its final form, requested paper submissions around four related themes. These are (1) Setting the Course: Taking Stock of Where We Are and Where We're Going; (2) Charting Undiscovered Terrain: Creating Models, Tools and Theories; (3) Navigating the Unknown: Sex, Time, Space and Place, and (4) Taking the Helm: Education and Pedagogy. Our overall conference theme, 'Charting a Course to the Future' was inspired in part by Vancouver's geography, which is both coastal and mountainous. As such, navigation plays an important part in the lives of many as we seek to enjoy our environs. In addition, as the first Women, Work and Computerization conference of the new millennium, we hoped to encourage the broad community of scholars that has made past Women, Work and Computerization conferences a success to actively engage in imagining--and working towards-- a better future for women in relation to computers. The contributions to this volume are both a reflection of the hard work undertaken by many to improve the situation of women in relation to computerization, and a testament to how much work is yet to be done.
