CIOs Need Alternatives
- Details
During a pressure-packed situation aboard the retrofitted USS Enterprise in Star Trek: the Motion Picture, Commander Decker explained to Admiral Kirk, "It's my duty to point out alternatives." Allow me to do the same with you.
Sure, it's pretty easy to maintain the status quo when you hold all the cards, when you can make all the decisions. If I were in your shoes, I would focus on command and control too – house all my applications and workloads in a data centre that I maintain personally, mostly in a traditional row by row, discipline by discipline architecture while dipping my toe in workload-specific private Clouds. I might even try appliance or converged deployments, as long as I could touch and feel them.
Unfortunately, very few IT executives can maintain that level of autonomy with their IT assets. A good portion of the IT decisions are moving to the Lines of Business, to the leaders that control the entire P&L of the company. This includes what technologies are implemented to enable the company, and what price the company is willing to pay for them. LOB leaders have options around where to buy their applications, and those options include significantly diversifying the workloads across a variety of models (public Clouds or external infrastructure provision and management):
IT command and control evolves into IT Cloud brokering across a variety of data centre models. IT executives focus on what's best for the rest, versus what best for IT.
Now that the business is taking the lead, LOB heads are shopping for alternatives to traditional IT. They prefer:
- a cost model that aligns with their revenue model, which could be entirely transactional, and entirely unit price driven. LOB leaders like the scalability of Cloud financial models that significantly minimizes the "keep the lights on" base expenses inherent in traditional IT investments
- the introduction of new products and offerings that are not dependant on the long lead times associated with acquiring, installing and configuring applications and hardware associated with traditional data centre management
- significantly changing their IT infrastructure to meet or exceed the security and risk requirements of their corporate customers, without massive transformational projects
HDS can help provide alternatives, but we require strong global partnerships, just like we have with CGI. HDS and our clients can now leverage CGI's global footprint of infrastructure service delivery centres for a variety of enterprise storage, archiving, disaster recovery, and mobility services, including:
- Secure data centres connected through a global network
- Government and Industry Certifications audited annually
- Local (in-country) and remote management capabilities
- Technology vendor independence – customized solutions
- 10,000+ Infrastructure services professionals
The new partnership directly creates value for the new 'Business-Defined IT' preferences:
- Elimination of large up-front CAPEX investment, allowing for re-investment on more strategic business initiatives
- New financial modes:
- Pay As You Go utility model (pay only for what you use).
- True flexible consumption model (flex model up/down).
- Reduction of overall customer risk by providing disaster recovery, and increased SLA and QOS
- Dramatic improvement in time to market: capacity on demand and onsite buffer to absorb the customer storage burst and new projects requirements.
For more information, see the CGI/HDS partnership announcement.
Live long and prosper.

A criminal gang who committed theft near Whitby have been sent to prison for a combined term of more than 11 years.
Brian Smith, Elijah Boswell, Glen Hepburn, Michael Tillotson, and Mark Ella were charged with conspiracy to steal after officers discovered that they had either stolen or cut cable in preparation to be taken away from 11 British Telecom sites across the county between October 2012 and January 2013.
They targeted remote areas, often at night in an effort to avoid detection, but were caught when they were stopped travelling in convoy away from the scene of a cable theft on the A171 Whitby to Scarborough Road at around 8pm on January 8 this year.
The total scrap value of the cable they had taken was more than £33,000, with a replacement value to BT of over £50,000.
Detective Inspector Mark Pearson, of North Yorkshire Police Organised Crime Unit, welcomed the sentences.
He said: "These men were travelling around North Yorkshire stealing cable from isolated locations which was costing tens of thousands of pounds to replace and leaving residents without power.
"They were very active over a number of months before we caught up with them and since they were arrested there haven't been any similar incidents in the county.
The gang used large metal keys, only available to BT engineers, and specialist hydraulic lifting equipment to open manhole covers and access the cable which was installed at a minimum depth of 1.5 metres below the ground.
Officers found stolen BT cable in one of their vehicles and metal BT devices that are used to open manhole covers in both of the vehicles they were travelling in.
Following further investigations, the gang were linked to a further 10 thefts, including incidents on the A171 near the Falcon Inn and on Fylingdales Moor, near to the Flask Inn.
Det Insp Pearson added: "Organised crime groups like this have the potential to really impact on the quality of life in our communities, which is why we have a specialist unit to target criminal gangs and disrupt and detect their activities.
"A great deal of effort from officers within North Yorkshire Police's Organised Crime Unit went into this investigation and thankfully this particular gang are now serving prison sentences which their actions deserve.
"Organised crime is a priority for North Yorkshire Police and this is just the latest of a number of convictions we have secured recently for criminal gangs operating in our area."
All five men pleaded guilty to all 11 thefts at Teesside Crown Court at an earlier hearing.
On Thursday they returned to the court for sentencing.
Brian Smith, 37, of James Street, York, was jailed for 27 months. However his sentence will run concurrently to a nine-year-sentence he also received today for conspiracy to supply Class A drugs in York.
Boswell, 26, of Smithies Lane, Barnsley, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment.
Hepburn, 35, of Gaitskell Walk, Leeds, was jailed for two years and three months.
Tillotson, 45, of Airy Hill, Filey, received a jail sentence of two years and nine months, and Ella, 39, of Bramham Avenue, York, was sent to prison for 12 months.
If you know of anyone who is involved in organised crime, please contact North Yorkshire Police on 101 – select option 2 – and pass information to the Force Control Room.
If you prefer not to give your name, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Question Period
House of Commons
Ms. Libby Davies (Vancouver East, NDP) : Mr. Speaker, in July, an unemployed woman in Vancouver goes to JJ Bean for coffee in the morning and ding, 7% more.
She needs a haircut for a job interview, add 7%. Her car breaks down and she needs a tow, 7% more.
She takes a taxi to the job interview, 7% more. I could go on. Will the minister explain to the people of B.C. why they need an unfair tax increase when times are already so tough?
Hon. John Baird (Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, CPC) : Mr. Speaker, the decision on whether or not to harmonize the sales tax is a decision of the province.
I find it most interesting to see the member for Vancouver East now becoming the newest tax fighter in Canada. We welcome her new-found interest in cutting taxes and keeping taxes low.
Where was she when this government needed her support to cut the GST? She was not just missing in action, she was voting to keep taxes high. That is something she will have to explain to that same woman she speaks about.
Ms. Libby Davies (Vancouver East, NDP): Mr. Speaker, HST started with this government. And the story continues.
After a job interview, this woman in my riding bought a morning newspaper. It was 7% more.
She opens the paper and reads about yet another $8 billion in corporate tax cuts that the minister has engineered. She feels pretty outraged, just like everybody else in B.C. and Ontario.
Why is the government slapping an unfair tax increase on families while cutting taxes on Canada's most profitable corporations?
Hon. John Baird (Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, CPC) : Mr. Speaker, the same woman went to fill out her income tax and got some good news; that this government cut her income tax. She will have to explain to that same constituent, that same woman who she professes to care so much about, why, if the member had her way, she would have to pay higher income taxes.
This women, for the last two years, has been paying a lower GST. Why? Because this Prime Minister and this government stood up for that woman so she could pay less tax, so she could invest it in her community, so she could provide services and supports for her family.
This government is concerned about that woman. Where has the member for Vancouver East been when we have been trying to help her for all of these years?
Ms. Libby Davies (Vancouver East, NDP) : Mr. Speaker, I have to tell the minister that my constituent and thousands of others have already figured out that the government is shifting the tax burden from big businesses to families.
In B.C. alone, the HST amounts to a $4 billion tax hike.
Each year the average B.C. family will pay an estimated $828 more, a senior couple $883 more, a single mom will pay $522 more and Canada's most profitable corporations will be paying $8 billion less.
Again, will the minister explain to British Columbians why they should pay so much more?
Hon. John Baird (Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, CPC) : Mr. Speaker, in British Columbia tax freedom day, the day when individuals, British Columbians, start to earn money for themselves, is now some two or three weeks early, thanks to the efforts of this government.
If the NDP had its way and if the member for Vancouver East had her way, the woman would be working an extra 21 days to support big government rather than to support her family. Those of us on this side of the House think that is unfair.

Part 5 of a collection about the Merritton Train Tunnel that runs under the 3rd Welland Canal.
St. Catharines Standard – Jan 3, 1903
No.4 Express Collides with a light Mogul Near Merritton Tunnel
On the Grand Trunk rail line near Merritton a serious and fatal accident occurred near the Merritton Tunnel today. The accident occurred around 7:03am at a point about 100 yards from the tunnels western entrance. Engine Number 975 was an 80 ton mogul train to leave from Niagara Falls at 6:00am each morning and run through to Hamilton.
Engine Number 4 express train was one of the best and fastest trains on the G.T. R. and was scheduled to arrive in Merritton at 6:28am. The Engineer's name was Duke and the fireman that manned the boiler was Abraham Desult both from Sarnia. As nearly as can be learned it was 7:03 am when the ill-fated express train passed a small telegraph station near the tunnel,
A few moments later and almost one third of a mile down the track the engine of the express train and the light mogul train met with a terrible crash. Both engines at the time of the collision were in full steam when they met head on. The accident happened on a sharp curve where both engineers could not see each other for a distance of 200ft. The estimated speeds of both trains were about 22MPH at the time of the collision.
Both engineers escaped with only broken limbs and minor cuts to face and arms while Mr. Charles Horning (firemen) for the express train was killed instantly. The reporter described the condition of the body as being jammed between the boiler and tentler, his body was horribly mangled. When rescuers went to pull on the limbs of the man to try to free him they broke off. When some of the remains were taken away, his mid section was so tightly wedged between the tentler and boiler that his remaining body could not be pulled free. It was even noted that his watch on one of his arms was still working……
The other firemen (Abraham Desult) from the mogal train was smashed into the boiler of the train, and received burns to 90% of his body. He was rushed to the St.Catharines General Hospital where he died 5 hours after the accident.
The People's Press – Jan 3, 1903
Another Wreck For The Grand Trunk
The wreck on the Grand Trunk at Merritton tunnel this morning has added greatly to the general uneasiness regarding the condition of affairs on the Grand Trunk system, which has caused four wrecks in a week—Wanstead, Victoria Bridge, Toronto and now Merritton. Some of the Grand Trunk men lay the blame for the accidents to the indroduction…… (sorry this is all I have of this news article)

glogg was our Word of the Day on 12/24/2012. Hear the podcast!

Recent Examples of glogg from the Web
To brave this gloomy period, the Norrlanders light a superabundance of candles and keep a saucepan of glogg—mulled wine with nuts and raisins—simmering on their stovetops.
Groggy from reading glogg and pancake recipes, and the accompanying reflections on hugging, sledding and board games by Mr. Wiking and others, I was poised to hygger here at home.

Did You Know?
Glogg is a holiday favorite in many Scandinavian cultures, where it is commonly served on St. Lucia's Day (December 13) and all around Christmas time. Not surprisingly, the word glogg itself (sometimes written as "glögg") is of Scandinavian origin; it comes from Swedish and derives from the verb glödga, meaning "to burn" or "to mull." But although "glogg" may look like it should rhyme with that other notable holiday beverage-"eggnog"-the two aren't quite a perfect match. The "o" in "glogg" is pronounced like either the "u" in "nut," the "oo" in "foot," or the more foreign-sounding "œ" in "bœuf," the French word for "beef." "Nog," on the other hand, is generally pronounced with the "o" as in "mop"-and thus it rhymes with "grog."

The Patterson Legacy: Coaching couple shares story
April 18, 2013
Filed under SPORTS
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
During a rare competition-free week this spring, David Patterson becomes a storyteller and comedian.
David, his wife and head gymnastics coach, Sarah, and assistant coaches Bryan Raschilla and Dana Duckworth are all gathered reminiscing about their time together and sharing stories.
The conversation switches to talk of Sarah's assistant coaches potentially becoming head coaches one day and the possibility of David bolting for another school is thrown around. That's when David brings up a touchy subject.
"Seriously, I've always thought of what it would take to make the Alabama-Auburn rivalry better," David said with a smile on his face. "Both of our kids had left home when that job became open last time. I should have applied for the Auburn job and really stepped up the rivalry."
Everyone laughs except Sarah. Even though she knows he's joking, Sarah shoots David the look – eyes squinted and head slightly tilted. It's the look a man fears when delivered by a woman of significance in his life.
She holds the stare for 10 seconds that feel like 10 minutes before smiling and saying, "he wasn't going anywhere."
Neither of the two have plans of going anywhere, and that is what makes their situation special.
"When it's a team like David and I have, it's great because he could have been a coach at any program in the country, but it just so happened that we are married, and neither of us were going to leave the other," Sarah said. "That's what makes us great."
Humble beginnings
Gymnasts have come and gone since the summer of 1978, but the one constant in UA's program has been the Patterson family. Originally, Sarah was hired out of Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania as an assistant coach while she was still in school, but things changed around the time she was set to graduate. Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant offered her the head coaching job and a salary of $5,000.
She was told she could have one assistant, and she immediately thought of David. The two formed a friendship while working in Huntsville, Ala., for a summer, and she knew David was still in school at Alabama.
All Sarah could offer David was a $500 scholarship the athletic department had left over from the women's basketball team. But in 1978, $500 was a lot of money for a student.
"Literally, I signed a scholarship that said women's basketball scholarship on it," David recalls. "That's how I got the money."
Four years later, the two wed at Trinity Church in Tuscaloosa.
"It was marrying my best friend, the man of my dreams and the person who worked for me," Sarah said.
Throughout the years, it has been gymnastics all the time in the Patterson household. So much so that their daughters Jessie Patterson Jones and Jordan would play a game to see if they could catch their parents discussing work at the dinner table, Jessie says.
"When the kids were there," David recalls, "we might be in the middle of dinner and one of them would say, 'Mom, dad, you're doing it again,' and we'd say, 'What is it?' And they'd say 'You're talking about gymnastics.'
"We had to be really careful and focus on what their activities were during dinner and then maybe talk about practice or recruiting after our time with them. It's easier to slip into the mode of working more now that the kids are gone."
The two have built a life and a program together over the years. While most couples are allowed to get a break from each other when they go to work, the Pattersons are always around each other. Only twice in their coaching careers has one been without the other – once when Sarah was on bed rest while pregnant with their youngest daughter, Jordan, and the other when David went through chemotherapy for kidney cancer.
The key for the Pattersons' success in their personal lives is the lack of conflict, David said.
"Everybody around us thinks we're weird because we don't fight," David said. "Almost on everything gymnastics-wise, I can walk across the gym to say something to her, and she'll say what I was thinking. Same with her; I know what she's going to say before she says it. We're very in tune with each other and we always agreed on how to raise our kids. That's not to say we don't disagree on some things, but we never really have fought."
Their personalities balance each other out. Sarah is outspoken. She accepts the speaking engagements and serves as the face of the program.
"Both of my parents are incredible motivators, but they do it in different ways," Jessie Patterson Jones said. "Mom is the one you can go to for advice that will get you somewhere. When I want professional advice or don't know how to handle a situation, my mom is the first person I call because odds are she's experienced it."
David is admittedly the reserved, behind-the-scenes type. He keeps the family on track.
"When we were younger and both doing it all the time, he was very good about saying we have to stop," Sarah said. "He'd say, 'You spoke two times this week, three times last week. It's time to run down the speaking engagements.' He was much better at saying 'no' than I was. So he put me on restriction from time to time."
Sustaining success
When Sarah was hired, she became the University's fifth gymnastics coach in five years, with the program on the verge of being canceled. Alabama won seven meets that first season.
Since the team made its
first trip in 1983, Alabama has made 31 consecutive NCAA Championship appearances, including this season, which is the second longest streak in the history of collegiate gymnastics.
Alabama is just one of four teams in collegiate gymnastics history to win an NCAA championship.
Now, the Pattersons have an opportunity to win their seventh national championship and third consecutive. This season is the 25th anniversary of their first national title.
"It was validation that you can coach the entire person, not just the athlete and have success," Sarah says of their first championship. "To me, it put a stamp on our philosophy."
The philosophy has remained the same over the years: Develop the whole person, not just the gymnast, and the scores will take care of themselves.
If the scores go their way at this year's nationals, the Pattersons' legacy will continue to blossom.
"When it's all said and done, we're just excited that we get to be a small part of the University's history and tradition," Sarah said.

We are pleased and proud to announce that the St. Thomas Law PAD Mentschikoff Chapter won Overall First Place and Best Defense at the 2015 National PAD Mock Trial competition, held March 5th through 8th, 2015, in Alexandria, VA.
This annual national mock trial competition was limited to 30 law school chapters. Members of the St. Thomas Law Mock Trial team who were also members of the St. Thomas Law PAD Chapter, were recruited to compete in the competition. Our STU PAD Mentschikoff Chapter was the 29th team to register, and registered only one team. At the mock trial competition, each team presented the case as both plaintiff and defendant. Following three rounds of competition, the St. Thomas Law PAD team consisting of Freddy Figueroa, Ileana Garcia, Natasha Pargas, and Tayron Lopez advanced to the final round, and then ultimately won the competition against a strong team from Tennessee University (the 2014 Champions). In addition to winning overall, Freddy Figueroa and Ileana Garcia were selected as the Best Defense team.
The team members were required to prepare and deliver opening statements and closing arguments; develop and conduct direct and cross examinations; convincingly play witness roles for their teammates; and analyze and argue complex evidentiary issues and objections. Our STU PAD teams put in hours of practice, and were coached by South Florida attorneys Jarred
Whaley, Debra Kay Cohen, and Lance August Harke. The team's success was also due to the leadership and guidance of the STU Mock Trial Team Advisor, adjunct Professor Michael Mayer.
STU Chapter PAD President, Regilucia ("Reggie") Smith worked to make the competition a reality and to ensure that St. Thomas Law, at its first appearance at the PAD Mock Trial Competition left a memorable impression. We congratulate all of those involved in the competition from the St. Thomas PAD Mentschikoff Chapter for living up to those goals and aspirations

Report Marks Move Into Owned, Earned and Paid Measurement for Leading Social Analytics Company
Report Marks Move Into Owned, Earned and Paid Measurement for Leading Social Analytics Company
SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - April 16, 2014) - Simply Measured, the leading social media analytics and measurement solution, today released their Facebook Ads analytics product for social media and community managers. The first in a series of new paid social media reports, Simply Measured's Facebook Insights with Ads report gives brands a holistic look at their owned, earned and paid social efforts, providing actionable insights through beautiful dashboards available online and in the tools Marketers love - Excel and Powerpoint.
Attributing page performance directly back to paid or organic activity has traditionally consisted of playing an educated guessing game, or for the sophisticated marketer spending hours piecing data from multiple sources together to glean insights through a complex merging process. Even the social networks themselves offer narrow metrics with paid versus organic performance. The limitations of the data provided by most networks fails to establish a big picture look of how the page is performing and which types of activities are actively contributing to the growth of the audience.
"Our Facebook Insights with Ads report marks our first step into the world of paid social media measurement. We're now able to show marketers attribution data - how people are finding their Facebook page and engaging - whether through paid or organic interactions," said Adam Schoenfeld, CEO of Simply Measured. "As algorithms on social media continue to change and access is diminished, it makes sense that the savvy social media analyst or community manager would want to see how their paid efforts are augmenting their organic content on Facebook."
Recent changes to the Facebook organic reach algorithm are causing concern for businesses who are looking to continue speaking to their own audience and may be starting to employ Facebook Ads to help with this dissemination. With the new Facebook Insights with Ads report, Simply Measured can now give users a clear picture into how paid efforts are impacting their overall fan page performance, without the normal pain point of merging multiple data sources. With their latest report, Simply Measured makes it easy to attribute page engagement results to paid versus organic activity.
Simply Measured provides enterprise-level insights from the leading social media networks including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Google+, Tumblr and Vine compiled into visual dashboards that can be shared easily across the organization. With over 40 unique customizable reports available, Simply Measured makes it simple to measure, analyze and share insights.
Simply Measured will hold a Facebook Ads analytics webinar on April 30, 2014 at 11am PT. To learn more about Simply Measured's Facebook Insights with Ads report please visit www.simplymeasured.com or read more on the Simply Measured blog. For more information about pricing or for a free 14-day trial, please visit http://www.simplymeasured.com/pricing.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Wii - Hacking' started by JJBro1, May 11, 2008.
after i extract a save file and install it, where on the sd card is it saved?
anyone? i extracted it, now what?
Look for it yourself. Easily go in and out directories untill you find it. You'll know when you find it.
It might be named data and it might be a .bin file, Not sure tho.
It would have been great if you'd continued your previous thread instead of posting a new one. :|
The directory for the Brawl save is \WIISAVES\RSBE\
Problem solved, Blues Clues.
what would the file name look like and when i was extracting it it said it would save under title/"a bunch of numbers/"a bunch of numbers"
and i dont see it.
It's multiple files, just look in the directory I gave you.

Both Ouya and GamePop will be able to play hundreds of popular Android games when they launch. GamePop, however, will also be able to play some iOS exclusives — because Bluestacks figured out how to make App Store games run on its console, too.
By now, most of the really popular mobile games out there are available for both iOS and Android. The Android ecosystem is booming, after all, so the platform has become almost impossible for developers to ignore.
Still, when you're trying to make your product stand out from the crowd, every funky little feature helps. Bluestacks has made it so simple for iOS developers to bring their games to GamePop that all they really have to do is change in-app payment systems.
Even if you didn't want to fully port your game to Android, Bluestacks has certainly made a strong case for at least bringing it to GamePop users.
How did Bluestacks do it? It's not like they could just slap an iOS virtual machine on GamePop and call it a day. What they put together is an API-level virtualization system — similar to how WINE works on Linux.
GamePop won't advertise these titles as iOS games. They'll be slotted in amongst the other GamePop offerings and made available as part of the $6.99 all-you-can-play gaming package.
While adding some iOS exclusives won't hurt GamePop sales, it's that subscription model that's likely to sway shoppers. It's pretty easy to swallow $7 bucks a month when it means you can play whatever you want.

March: Comedian Of The Month #2, James Acaster
I've known who James is for quite a while but only seen him on the odd panel show here and there so this month I made a conscious effort to check out some of his work. I decided to do this after seeing his recent appearance on 8 Out of 10 Cats where he was absolutely hilarious- a complete weirdo, but a brilliant one. He really stood out during this episode as he seems to carry a strange kind of energy with him that is really refreshing to a panel show as they can get tedious very easily if the panel isn't rotated regularly enough.
I think I like James because he reminds me of Paul Foot, one of my all time favourite comedians, though of course he has his own quirks that make him so original. They both have brilliant confidence that is hidden behind an apparent shyness, so it is surprising when they come out with something either quite profound or very shocking. His presence on panel shows is a powerful one: he just needs to give a certain look and everyone will be laughing and I think that must be a really hard skill to master.
James is young-looking, wide-eyed and innocent but also incredibly quick-witted and wise for his age. I thought his material about the apple in the orchard, featured in the clip below, was very clever yet didn't feel self-indulgent in any way. With complicated material, many comics get caught up in the selfish side of it: of appearing clever or superior, but James doesn't do this at all. He remains charmingly simple but we can see he has a sharp mind.
I definitely recommend you check James Acaster out as he is gaining more and more fans with every passing week. His twitter is here so follow him if you're into that twitter malarky.
For more information, visit James Acaster's website and follow him on Twitter.

Racists are simply and merely lazy
- Published in Paul's View
Racists are lazy.
There is no way around that realization. It takes some effort to view people as individuals and then weigh the good points against the bad points to make a determination about the quality of each individual. It is far easier to paint groups of people with a broad brush and take the individual assessment out of the equation. It is much easier to accept or condemn them as a group basing the decision on factors such as race or religion, or, for that matter, any of a host of other considerations such as income, country of birth or ancestry, level of education or any of a myriad of other subjective factors.
When it comes to race, that is a real easy one; it's as easy as distinguishing black, maybe brown, from white, no research necessary.

Update: Called a 'public nuisance,' Acropolis Pizza adds security measures to satisfy Syracuse police concerns
Syracuse, NY -- Under police pressure, the owner of a popular Marshall Street pizza parlor is upgrading security but refuses to close earlier as police have requested.
Peter Mavrikidis, who owns Acropolis Pizza, said today the city has suggested he make security improvements as he faces the possibility his restaurant could be closed under the city's nuisance abatement law.
Syracuse police have documented violent crimes, drug possession and thefts inside the restaurant and on the sidewalk.
A nuisance abatement hearing is scheduled for Dec. 11, Mavrikidis said. At that point, he can provide evidence that he's taken care of the problems, said Deputy Police Chief Joe Cecile.
Since receiving a nuisance abatement letter from the city last week, Mavrikidis has pledged to install a new, $3,000 security camera system and post "No Loitering" signs in the windows. See the nuisance abatement letter, in pdf.
His manager, Steve Papazides, has agreed to take a course in proper alcohol procedures after being charged with serving alcohol to a minor in early October. Papazides also said the restaurant plans to buy an identification reader, which would detect fake IDs.Mavrikidis said he's already taken one step: hiring a security guard to work from midnight until 3 a.m. on weekends. Mavrikidis said he hired the guard a month and a half ago.
But Mavrikidis said he refuses to close earlier than 3 a.m. as police have asked as a way to deter unwanted late-night visitors.
He hopes the changes, once implemented, will be enough for the city to decide not to close his restaurant.
"I hope it will all be over," Mavrikidis said.
At the hearing, police officers will testify against the pizza parlor and Mavrikidis will have a chance to prove he's made changes to deal with the issues, Cecile said.
Then, police chief Frank Fowler will make a decision on whether to close the restaurant for a period of time. Closures vary from a month to up to a year, Cecile said.
Most hearings result in solutions that don't involve closures, Cecile said. The hearing against Acropolis will take place because he'd been warned three times.
The three crimes that will be the subject of the nuisance abatement hearing are a marijuana possession charge at 2:18 a.m. Nov. 26, 2011, a weapon possession charge at 2:49 a.m. April 8 and the Oct. 6 underage alcohol charge involving Papazides, Cecile said.
Syracuse police last month provided police reports detailing at least a dozen late-night crimes and fights at the restaurant in the past two years.
The late-night incidents included three stabbings, a gun complaint, a purse theft and numerous fights, some of which started inside the restaurant before spilling onto the street, according to the police records.
Since spring, Syracuse police linked Acropolis to three violent episodes: a shooting May 5, a report of gunfire Sept. 15 and a stabbing Sept. 22. None of the incidents happened inside the pizza parlor, but police said they were committed by customers.
Police said non-students gathered at Acropolis late at night and sometimes violence ensued.
In September, Syracuse University Public Safety issued a bulletin encouraging students to stay away from the restaurant late at night.
Mavrikidis said the reason crime has dropped in the past month is because police are patrolling the area more. But he said he was willing to make changes to avoid police pressure on his business.
Syracuse police spokesman Sgt. Tom Connellan confirmed he had seen a security guard at Acropolis a few weeks ago.

Am I My Brothers Keeper Lyrics
Artist: Kane & Able
Album: Am I My Brother's Keeper
[Kane & Abel]
Sitting in church lookin at the preacher life is stupid
Should have seen last night got this nigga spooky
And Marvin Gaye would have made Kane wanna holler
I seen a nigga get shot for five dollars
And my grandmamma can't see why I slang crack
Gotta keep clothes on my little sisters back
I'm with three G's in the offer rain when it pass
Later on smoke a blunt with the halves, when the past
In my hood everybody dirt poor
But the preacher come through with the lexus on more more
Wonder if the church take drug money if they know
And I don't know if I live to see twentythree or twentyfour
Fore I go, I pray to god but the devil keep knockin knockin at my front
Long as the hood got gats clips and triggers
Martin Luther King couldnt save these niggas
I seen it in they eyes aint no future
Or is it, my boy Half Pint doin life
Sundays is when I visit and damn this shit get deeper
Am I my brothers keeper

Because victim blamers use what a woman wears to justify her rape, the YWCA launched a clothing brand inspired by real life incidents of victim blaming.

Last week I bought some spices for a Szechuan pork dish that I was creating and I decided to put those to use in this vegan friendly dish for lunch today.
- 14 oz extra firm organic tofu
- 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp hot broad bean paste
- 1 Tbsp ground chili paste
- 2 Tbsp chili oil, divided
- 1 lb green beans, trimmed and halved
- 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- Fresh ground ginger root to taste
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tsp corn starch
- 1/8 cup cold water
Drain tofu and cut into 1/2″ pieces. Place in a bowl and set aside. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup soy sauce, bean paste, and chili paste. Drain any excess water from the tofu bowl. Add hot sauce blend to tofu and stir gently to coat. Cover and let sit 30 minutes.
After tofu has marinated, heat half of the chili oil in a large frying pan at medium to medium-high heat. After oil is heated, spread tofu evenly in the pan and allow to cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, place the green beans in the tofu marinating bowl and stir to collect any remaining hot sauce. After 2 minutes, gently turn the tofu and allow to cook undisturbed an additional 3 minutes. Remove tofu from pan and set aside. Without rinsing, add remaining tablespoon of chili oil to the pan. Add onion and saute over medium heat until tender. Add garlic, ginger, and beans and cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Add warm water. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, and let cook until the beans begin to feel slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small dish make a slurry with corn starch, the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce, and cold water. After the beans are cooked, uncover and allow liquid to reduce, if necessary, to a quarter of the original liquid. Add slurry to the pan and stir moderately until the sauce thickens. Add tofu back to the pan and mix in gently. Allow tofu to heat thoroughly, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Serve over brown rice.

Non-Israeli observers of the Israeli political scene can be forgiven for the ocassional twinge of befuddlement over the workings of our system. Any democracy has its unique foibles (think: electoral college), but the Israeli system, committed as it is to near-total adherence to representation for all minor sub-groups and splinter-groups within them, can be a bit challenging for outsiders.
One aspect of this is that election results aren't a particularly good indicator of what the government coalition will look like. Once the division of MKs according to the election results is known, the president chooses one of them--often, but not always, the leader of the party with the largest representation in the Knesset--and only then do the negotiations begin. The goal of the appointee is to cobble together a configuration of parties or parts of parties with a total of at least 61 of the 120 MKs to vote him or her into office. Usually this works, though as a general rule it happens only after exhausting the entire period granted by law, 42 days; sometime it doesn't. At different times, David Ben Gurion, Shimon Peres and Tzipi Livni all got the nod from the president, but failed to round up 61 votes.
The chief dynamic at the moment, as Binyamin Netanyahu tries to form a coalition from among the 12 lists which made it into the new Knesset (they are made of 15 parties, but let's not get into that), is that the second largest, Yesh Atid, and the fourth largest (Habayit Hayehudi)--with 31 MKs between them--have banded together as a negotiating bloc facing Netanyahu's Likud-Beiteinu, which also has 31. Effectively, even if not nominally, this means that no coalition is possible without both of them being in it, and the first bloc is apparently driving a hard bargain with the second.
This is not the first time this has happened. That would have been in 1961.
Back in August 1961, the election results were disappointing for Ben Gurion's Mapai party, which garnered only 42 MKs (a pipe dream for any party today), and along with 4 automatic Arab allies had 46. So four smaller parties, not all of them obvious allies, banded together, calling themselves the Club of Four, and they too had 46 votes. Deadlock. Ben Gurion looked at the situation and threw in his hat, so the president, Yitzhak Ben Zvi, appointed Levi Eshkol, also of Mapai, to give it a try. In those days, unlike today, the MK forming the coalition could choose not to be the prime minister. We've posted some of the documents from those high-wire-act days on our Hebrew website. Finally, more or less at the last moment, Eshkol returned to Ben Zvi with the announcement that he'd succeeded. With lots of patience and adroit negotiating, he had managed to break up the Club of Four, bring two of them into the coalition but on his own terms, and leaving two of them out in the opposition.
All of which just goes to show that positions staked with great confidence early on in the coalitional negotiations can end up unscathed, or modified, or totally abandoned. The problem is, you don't know in advance which it will be, nor do the negotiators.

The adventurous spirit of HearSay infused the many pieces submitted. They were, by turns, sonically experimental, exquisitely simple, deliciously intimate, and above all inspirational. Our winners were veterans and novices, sound artists, film-makers and documentary makers from all around the world.
In 2017 we are keeping the focus on short form audio, maintaing the types of work that can be entered for the awards, keeping the special prize categories, adding fantastic prizes and encouraging the entry of pieces not in the English language.
EARLYBIRD The entry fee for the HearSay Prize 2017 has been kept the same as 2015. We've also made Prize entry more accessible this year by introducing a special EarlyBird Entry Fee which offers a 30% reduction on the Entry Fee for those who submit their entries by December 15th 2016.
Read on for details of this year's competition, our fantastic prizes and how you can enter!
It's not just about winning
The HearSay Prize is about inspiring and celebrating creative audio. Its about people who discovering new audio passions and forging new partnerships. One of our favourite moments of 2015 was the hug shared by Sophie Townsends 2015 Gold Award Winner with the 2014 Gold Award Winner Kaitlin Prest. Sophie had just landed in from Australia into the nest at Grey Heron Media where Kaitlin was making a stunning installation. Sophies award winning piece subsequently featured during the summer of 2016 in Kaitlin's The Heart podcast.
Sophie also was commissioned by CBC's wonderful new Love Me podcast in 2016 who met her at HearSay 2015. In fact the team behind that podcast came together at HearSay2015 when Mira and Cristal joined us as the Audio Fiction Winners and met the host Lu,
And its not just about prize winners either, we also worked behind the scenes with Radiotopia's The Truth to share powerful entries with podcasts, to place entries we loved which didn't win, to get more ears. In 2014, Rikke Houd recorded a short piece at the Festival with the HurdyGurdy pop-up museum which was entered into the 2015 Competition. It was commissioned by Jesse Cox of ABC for their "Radio with Rictures" and screened at HearSay2015. Subsequently the audio piece was broadcast on PRI's The Word on Thanksgiving.
Finally, one of the richest events at the Festival is a session where entries that don't win get played out in a packed space by members of the jury in discussion with entrants who are attending the festival

Gold has triggered a strong bearish engulfing pattern reversal beneath key level at $1755, while also breaking out from an important contracting range. This is further weighed down by a recent DeMark™ exhaustion signal (which appeared on the 02nd Feb).
Our short strategy has already been activated in anticipation of this near-term downside risk which now offers a sharp decline back into the old trend-line and 200-day average, both holding around $1650/54.
Moreover, a sustained confirmation beneath here would resume risk for a much larger decline that we have been anticipating, if a weekly close beneath $1530 is confirmed. Keep in mind that our cycle analysis continues to highlight initial targets into $1460 and $1300 (see top-left chart insert).
Speculative (net long) flows also support this view having previously breached a key downside level which may threaten over 2-years of sizeable long gold positions. This would trigger a temporary, but dramatic setback that would ultimately offer a unique buying opportunity into this coming summer of 2012 (chart not shown).
Only a sustained confirmation above $1810 will put the bearish scenario on hold and offer further extended recovery higher on gold.

Maytas Infra hits lower circuit 9th time, down 4.99 pc
The troubled Maytas Infra touched the lower circuit for the ninth consecutive session on the bourses, a day after the Govt extended the scope of probe by the serious fraud office to Maytas companies, promoted by the family of B Ramalinga Raju.business Updated: Jan 20, 2009 12:02 IST
The troubled Maytas Infra on Tuesday touched the lower circuit for the ninth consecutive session on the bourses, a day after the government extended the scope of probe by the serious fraud office to Maytas companies, promoted by the family of the infamous B Ramalinga Raju.
Shares of Maytas Infra hit its lower circuit just after opening, to halt trading at Rs 105, down 4.99 per cent on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
A similar fate was faced on the National Stock Exchange, where the scrip touched an intra-day low of Rs 105.40, down five per cent. A total of 971 shares got traded on both the bourses.
"The government... has approved and authorised the SFIO (Serious Fraud Investigation Office) inspectors to obtain such books, records, papers as they deem necessary from Maytas Properties and Maytas Infra," Minister of Corporate Affairs Prem Chand Gupta had said.
Marketmen said the stock would continue to hit lower levels till the government takes some concrete steps to solve the Maytas fiasco.
To uncover the facts relating to events in Satyam, the Minister had said, "It is necessary to obtain information, records, books and papers from the two companies."
He further said, "Inspectors investigating the matters relating to Satyam have informed about an apparent nexus between the events that have taken place in Satyam and Maytas Properties and Maytas Infra."
Meanwhile, Maytas Infra CEO P K Madhav, who is facing a criminal case relating to a non-banking finance company, yesterday resigned from the tainted Raju family-promoted firm.
As of now, Teja Raju, Vice Chairman of Maytas Infra is looking after administration and other operational functions of the company.

4201.� Object-Oriented
Programming in Visual Basic
Rev. 4.0
.NET is a revolutionary advance in programming technology that
greatly simplifies application development. Microsoft�s popular Visual Basic
programming language has been upgraded to take advantage of the new .NET
features. Visual Basic has become a fully object-oriented programming language
with capabilities comparable to C++, Java, and Microsoft�s new language C#.
This course is a practical introduction to programming in Visual
Basic and the use of services provided by .NET. It emphasizes the Visual Basic
language and how to build Visual Basic applications from an object-oriented
perspective. Knowledge of the earlier version of the language, Visual Basic 6,
is not required. It is current to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0, which
continues the introduction of new features in the language, making Visual Basic
increasingly parallel to C#.
One of the strengths of Visual Basic, and the reason it has enjoyed
such widespread use, is the ease with which Windows application can be
developed. Microsoft has revamped the way that Windows applications are built
under .NET. Windows Forms, used by .NET languages, represents a class library
that brings uniformity to the components of a Windows application. The course
includes substantial coverage of using Windows Forms in Visual Basic, including
creating database applications with ADO.NET.
The first part of the course covers the fundamentals of Microsoft�s Visual
Basic programming language. It starts with a brief chapter, �.NET:� What You Need To Know,� which gets you up and
running in the .NET environment with a minimum of fuss. The next five chapters
cover the Visual Basic language essentials.
The second part of the course discusses object-oriented programming in
Visual Basic. It contains three chapters that focus on developing classes using
Visual Basic and then extending them via Visual Basic�s inheritance capabilities.
Interface-based programming and collection classes are also introduced.
The final part of the course introduces Windows Forms. Programmers
familiar with previous versions of VB will notice that this significantly
changes the programming model, yet also introduces flexibility not previously
available. The chapters in this part evolve from building simple form-based
applications to ones with dialogs and menus. It includes an introduction to
database programming using ADO.NET. The course concludes with a chapter
covering the newer features in Visual Basic. An appendix provides a tutorial on
Visual Studio 2010.
The course is practical, with many example programs and a
progressively developed case study. The student will receive a comprehensive
set of materials, including course notes and all the programming examples.

Late Francis Minogue - An Appreciation
It was with great sadness that the town of Roscrea and surrounding area learned of the untimely death of Francis Minogue who had just celebrated his 60th Birthday.
RCTLC through its Chairman, John Lupton have expressed its profound sympathy to his wife Ann, son Francis, daughter Catherine and all his family on the death of Francis who was a founder member of RCTLC. RCTLC's Chairman John Lupton who was a classmate of Francis in National School, recalled that Francis died 18 years to the day of the town's Public meeting in the Pathé Hotel, which initiated a successful community campaign for a swimming pool and leisure centre for Roscrea. That meeting took place on September 8th 1994 and Francis died on Saturday last September the 8th.
John vividly recalls Francis giving him a personal commitment that night of September 8th 1994, that he would do everything he could to ensure a swimming pool and leisure centre for Roscrea.
Full story in this week's Tipperary Star.

The Zika virus first emerged in the 1940's, in African countries such as Uganda, Sierra Leone, and Tanzania. Dr. Sergio Cortes states that the virus has recently started to circulate again in 9 Latin American countries, such as Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. The first new case of Zika occurred in Brazil in April 2015. There have been a significant increase in the number of cases since then, and caused great concern among health experts throughout the country. Dr. Sergio Cortes is worried that this Zika Virus may have a link to microcephaly and Guillain-Barre syndrome. Guillaine-Barre syndrome is a very serious neurological and autoimmune disease. Dr. Sergio Cortes has broken down this virus into various topics to inform us more.
The Zika virus is not a contagious disease and cannot be spread from person to person. The only way to get this virus is through the bite of the type of mosquito, Aedes aegypti. Not only can a person catch this virus from the mosquito, a mosquito that does not contain this disease that may sting a person who is carrying it, will in turn then be infected itself with the disease. Thus making the breakout of the disease very hard to control.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
The symptoms of this virus are not aggressive and normally last anywhere from 3 to 7 days. Dr. Sergio Cortes states that symptoms vary from person to person, but most common are fever, rash, or muscle aches. There are no further tests or examinations to identify the disease, at this time . The only way to diagnose the Zika virus is through a complex exam, which is offered only by three units of Fiocruz across the country, and the Evandro Chagas Institute.
For now, the only way to determine if you have the disease is through observation of the symptoms listed. If you are having these symptoms, it is important to see the physician, regardless of the severity of the symptoms.
There is no specified way to treat this illness, but symptoms can be relieved, says Dr. Sergio Cortes. People infected with this disease can use anti-inflammotory drugs or pain killers (perscribed by a physician).
How to Prevent
Dr. Sergio Cortes recommends to stay away from free standing water of any type. This includes stagnant water in pots, bottles, tires, puddles, etc. It is recommended to eliminate any standing water areas that you may have. Screened netting on all windows and around bedding if at all possible. If you are near an area of potential threat to mosquitos and you can not access the area, please reach out the Municiple Health Department.
