Jadavpur is a older, southern neighborhood in the spread out city of Kolkata. Traditionally known for its university campus, today it is increasingly becoming popular for its markets; the Jadavpur 8B area has recently gained credits as a shopping destination with shops for almost every need. Densely populated, it is a hub for commuters because of the bus and train stations it houses. The Jadavpur University is a well known destination for students of every colour and has often been in the news for various reasons. To cater to the huge student population as well as the many local residents, the locality has many eateries - from air-conditioned restaurants and bakeries to street-side eateries perfect for addas and popular street food outlets. It also has many famous street food vendors at different corners of the neighborhood; vendors who have perfected their fare over decades. Many have aged but still run their eateries with the same zest, serving food that has only gotten better over the years. This article traces some of that nostalgia through the popular street food around the university area.
Sri Krishna Mistanna Bhandar: Established around the early 1920s, Sri Krishna Mistanna Bhandar is widely popular because of their quality of food. Although small, this shop cannot go unnoticed for the sheer crowd it attracts through the day. Stop by for typical Bengali sweets and evening snacks. It is famous for its Kachoris, Laddoos, Dhoklas, Lyangchas and a host of other Bengali sweets and snacks. Perfect for a sampling of authentic Bengali mishti! Best for: Kochuri aloor torkari, Lyangcha, Sandesh Also try: Dhokla, crispy jibhe goja

Bawarchi: Bawarchi is another well-known restaurant in this locality. If your taste buds crave for some spicy Chinese food, then this is the place you want to go. Famous for its Rolls (egg, chicken or mutton) and Fried rice, it is a perfect place to stop for a quick, delicious bite. It does a great job of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food and is hence loved by the students and residents alike. Best for: Rolls Also try: Chinese combo and Lachha paratha

R.B Singh's Sugarcane Juice (ganne ka ras): R.B. Singh is an eighty-year-old gentleman who can be seen at his usual spot everyday, dressed in his vest and lungi, preparing fresh sugarcane juice. His stall has been running for the last 60 years and he keeps it open everyday. Sugarcane juice is a popular pick-me-up drink across the country; in Kolkata there are vendors across the city who use hand-operated machines to squeeze fresh juice from recently-harvested sugarcane, adding a lemon for additional zest and flavour. They then serve it in kullahads - terracota glasses that are sustainable and eco-friendly - which add a refreshing earthy note to the juice, which itself is considered great for health and rejuvenation.

Bhaja Bhuji Stall (as called by the owner): Bhaja-bhuji in Bengali refers to fries, pakoras and assorted deep-fried snacks. This stall makes the freshest Chicken fry, Cutlet and Fish finger to be found around. The smell wafts into your nostrils right when you cross the gate and you have to stop for dishes like mixed chowmein and egg-potato roll, all served at uber-reasonable student-friendly rates! Some would say you cannot leave Kolkata without tasting their telebhajas. Best for: Chicken fry, fish finger and rolls Also try: Cutlets and Chow mien

No. 18 Brown shuts down No. 10 Cornell for Big Red's first loss
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – No. 18 Brown ended No. 10 Cornell's 12-game winning streak and undefeated record with a 2-0 victory at Stevenson Field on Saturday afternoon. The Bears improved to 11-1-2 overall and 3-0-1 in the league to take the top spot in Ivy League rankings, while Cornell dropped to 12-1-0 and 3-1-0 in the league.
Sophomore forward Ben Maurey tallied his third game-winning goal of the season just 4:34 minutes into the match. Senior forward Bobby Belair nailed a shot toward the net on a cross from senior defender Dylan Remick that was saved by Big Red goalkeeper Rick Pflasterer. However, the rebound went to Maurey, who launched the ball into the back of the net.
Brown goalkeeper Sam Kernan-Schloss, who combined four saves, earned his first of the game 22 minutes in when the nation's leading scorer, Daniel Haber, sent one his way. Haber led the Cornell offense with a total of eight shots, three of which were on goal.
Neither team scored for the remainder of the first half, as Brown held an 8-7 advantage in shots and the Big Red was ahead 5-3 in corner kicks.
Cornell came out after the half and had its best chance of the game in the first minute of play. Peter Chodas pushed the ball up to Haber at the top of the penalty box. Haber blasted a shot on goal but Kernan-Schloss made a spectacular diving save. The ball rebounded to the left of Kernan-Schloss as Tyler Regan rushed in to try and put one in, but his shot went directly at Kernan-Schloss for another save.
Brown was able to seal the victory when Cornell scored an own-goal with 19:30 remaining in the game. Pflasterer punched a shot attempt away that went of Chodas' head and into the net to give the Bears a 2-0 lead.
Cornell out-shot Brown 8-2 in the second half and had a 15-10 advantage for the game, and also went 3-0 in corners to lead Brown 8-3.
Maurey led Brown's attack with four shots, two on goal, followed by Bobby Belair with three shots on goal.
Kernan-Schloss improved to 11-1-2 on the year and picked up his eighth shutout, the team's ninth, of the season. Plfasterer ended the day with four saves and dropped to 12-1-0 and 3-1-0 on the year.

Smart Second-Hand Car Tips For A Better Buy
It is always good to learn new things, and if you do not know much about cars, then it will never be too late to start learning. It doesn't matter if you do not become passionate about it, you can be assured that your knowledge will come in handy in the future one way or another. If you are already a car owner, then you will find new and efficient ways to maintain your vehicle properly. If you are a soon to buy you very first car, then you will practically be ahead of the game, and you will already know what factors to look at to ensure the best buy possible.
One of the most basic things you should do when you buy a car is to look ahead, and you can do this by asking questions, and gain as much knowledge as you can about a specific car you are eyeing. You should determine how much gas does it need monthly, and how many times will you need to load your car.

One of the most reliable and with the most variety of cars will be Buy Here Pay Here OKC; they are a dealership that can make your car purchasing experience worthwhile.
If you do not want to be fooled by the dealer, you need to the basics of a car so you can have the confidence of purchasing the car you want.

Things to Look for When Selecting a Pole Barn Company
A top-notch pole barn does not build itself. Quality construction is the key to a minimal-maintenance and long life, besides the right materials and design. Here are some things that you need to look whenever you are choosing a pole barn company or builder.
- Certified and Trained Foreman
Find a top-notch foreman. The crew does not really need an engineer. However, a foreman must have proper training to be able to troubleshoot and build according to the plans as developed under the licensed professional engineer's guidance.
How can we know a team is trained well and could read PE's plans? Look for a company that received a certification by the NFBA (National Frame Building Association). This is in the case of a pole barn.
A pole barn company should renew its accreditation every 2 years to be NFBA accredited. Also, it should have 1 or more workers of the company that earns 12 CEUs (continuing education units) within that period. Ask about the ongoing training of your builder.
- Engineer on Staff
Construction companies do not need a licensed expert engineer on staff to create depending on the plans. But, that is another feather in the cap if they do and it is a signal of their planning process quality.
- Experience
There is no alternative for experience. The crew must have at least three up to five years of applicable experience.
- Cohesive Crew
Experience is 1 thing. However, their experience as a team is vital. How long did the team work altogether? The more efficient they would be if they worked for a long time. For instance, at the time they arrive at your place, they know who's pulling tools off the truck and who's getting ready the materials. An experience that is shared creates this kind of effectiveness.
- Three up to Four Members
The construction crew size would depend. But, the most effective team for a pole barn contains 3 up to 4 members.
A crew with 2 members is able to build small-sized buildings. However, for the sake of safety, it would better to have at least 3 members working during particular parts of the process of building for duties such as installing roof steel or purlins, or setting trusses.
- Excellent Communication
You will find the key feature behind an experienced, cohesive team is the ability to effectively communicate. A foreman would probably be doing the same with the rest of the team if he or she is effectively communication with you as a client.
- The Proper Materials
A top-notch construction team does not cut corners on materials, even though this ties into aesthetic. Ask about materials if you receive several bids and you see drastic swings in the price. You should ensure that the bidding company is not cutting corners to lower the total price.
- Good Online and Offline Reviews
You really want to ask some references from previous clients. However, do not restrict it to just past clients. You can always rely on the internet to read some of their reviews.
These are some of the things you need to look for a pole barn company. If you still have hard time finding one, you can click here.Read More
5 Benefits of Pole Barn
Pole barn is the most cost-effective and affordable solution to your storage space needs. Pole barn building is for people who want to use the space as the home for their animals and other farming equipment. You can also use the space for other purposes other than being an agricultural building. The following are the benefits of building a pole barn.
Works on Any Terrain
Unlike other structures, a level ground isn't required for building a pole barn. When you build a pole barn, less work is done because it can be raised on a terrain that doesn't need ground work. A stick framing style requires grading work to level everything before you can build the pole barn.
Firm Foundation
When you build a pole barn, you won't do much foundation work like you do with a stick-framed style structure. The pole barn only requires concrete on the footers to set up the poles. You then pour a concrete slab once the poles are set and everything leveled. The concrete slab can also be used as a floor for your garage, barn or shop. To secure the load-bearing vertical beams only require deep post holes. This process will save you money and time on excavation and concrete.
You won't spend 15% of the budget on the foundation work like normally spend on a stick-framed barn. The cost is reduced because you won't also spend too much on earth-moving and grading to install the barn's foundation.
Less Wood, Heavier Loads
A pole barn doesn't require intensive structural support and framing that a stick-framed structure needs. You will only need 8 feet of load on center framing that can also handle snow load. With less wood used, the pole barn handles more weight with less framing.
You might surprise yourself that pole barns is a strong building. It is durable because its posts are horizontally connected from a strong box that adds seismic and wind resistance. The columns in the ground add to its wind resistance and stability too. The roof is impossible to get detached from the building because its trusses are directly attached to the post frame.
Framing and Insulation
A pole barn can be framed like a traditional stick-framed because its walls are not load-bearing. With this, you can achieve higher insulation value. The span between its posts also provides better ventilation.
Pole barns are not pole barns only. Pole structures are versatile buildings you can as a garage, horse barn, wineries and commercial or retail buildings. Depending on the purposed of the pole barn will be, you can build anything out of it. Aside from its versatility, it is easier and quicker to build pole barns than the traditional stick-framed structures.
You will need a whole crew for stick-framed, but with pole barn it only requires simple tools. In fact, when you purchase a pole barn kit you can build it yourself by following the instructions. Aside from saving a lot with the building process,Read More

Howard Stern Defends Sidibe Remarks by Claiming 'She's Going to Kill Herself'
Yesterday, Stern railed on the Oscar nominee on his show.
"I kinda don't see a difference between what our Artie [Lange] did — Artie tried to kill himself — and I feel like this girl, in a slower way, but nevertheless the same outcome will be that she's going to kill herself." —Howard Stern on his show today, in reference to Precious' Gabourey Sidibe. This was his "explanation" for tearing into the Oscar-nominated actress yesterday on his show, when he called her "the most enormous fat black chick I've ever seen," and said she should have won Best Actress "because she's never going to have another shot what movie is she gonna be in?"

cheering bin Laden's fall?
But I (perhaps alone…) was a little bit puzzled, and then mortified, to see my fellow citizens swiftly taking to the streets, shouting, waving flags, pumping fists… and I wanted to text each one of them to say "No, no, stay home, be quiet." I think, like everyone else, I am disturbed, and frankly a bit fearful, when I see news video from other countries, and a rabid throng is shouting approval for some terrorist act, for the downfall of some American citizen/soldier. Somehow I want us to be different, not to match evil cheer for cheer, but to be humble in the face of death.
Yet I do not yet know what to think. Maybe the wise take a few days to let the news settle in, to reflect, and only then to respond. Yes, evil must be kept in check if at all possible; brave Navy SEALS apprehended a criminal - which had to be done. After 9/11, I agreed with those who said it isn't so much a war on some vague "terror" out there; rather we are faced with criminal activity which must be dealt with. And we have also seen the face of sin, revolt against God, who is not pleased with terrorism.
I noticed a quick Facebook post just minutes after the news broke. Lots of people were typing in various Bible verses about victory over evil – but this post quoted Proverbs 24:17: "Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice." Is that right? I think of the old rabbi who was asked if the angels in heaven celebrated the drowning of Pharaoh and his chariots in the sea when Israel escaped, and he said No, they wept.
Christians, and frankly all sane people, have no cause to be sympathetic with Osama bin Laden. But the wave of glee seems a bit out of kilter for followers of Jesus, just not the right mood somehow. Good: justice was done – but I'm feeling quiet, humbled, grieving if anything over the past decades of so much anger and loss of life across this planet associated with bin Laden. I guess I'm realizing the craziness of the world, the tense rage that afflicts this planet that gave rise to Osama bin Laden, is still out there.
So I wish we could just be still, and pray, and wait for wisdom. Heroic soldiers did their duty; but it's not a sporting event, it's a moment of the specter of death in a chilling history of human sorrow. I can't see cheering, but maybe that's just my weirdness, and after a few days of tossing these events around, I'll wave a flag and holler for a while.

So nicely stated. Glad to know that the fact I didn't feel like jumping up and down in celebration at the news doesn't make me un-American.ReplyDelete
Thank you for this post. I have been feeling the same way. Death for death is a devastating downward spiral. My prayers are for peace and healing.ReplyDelete
I think the reaction scared me. I couldn't tell the difference between when I saw those in foreign lands cheering in the streets while burning an american flag, and our people cheering in the streets at the death of Bin Laden. Who are we? I'm confused. I like the memory of the entire world praying together after 9/11 in unison better than what I saw on cnn last night. We should do that again. All of us go to church on the same day at the same time and pray for peace - just like before. That is who I want us to be.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Rev. Howell. I, too, am struggling with my response, and what leadership before my congregation will look like. Just before reading your post I was thinking of changing my facebook status to: looking for the faith to pray for my enemy(ies). Your openness invites me to find courage and hope, even if not an easy path.ReplyDelete
I take about as much pleasure in this as I would in having to shoot a rabid dog (no, I am not comparing him to a dog). It had to be done, but I don't have to like it. If I knew that innocent people were being murdered and I could stop it, wouldn't I be compelled to do so? So much of life is a paradox. I think maybe this is the lesser of the two evils. However, I am nearly nauseated at the revelry, partying and celebration. The image it portrays of America and Christianity is the very image we abhor when we see it displayed by others. I saw an American flag flown from a crane here in my own town today and below it was a likeness of Bin Laden hanging by the neck. Display was right on Interstate 40 for the world to see. I'm sure it made some people happy. I think it may say as much about us as it does about "them".ReplyDelete
Dr. Howell - when you say "heroic soldiers did what had to be done" I agree with you...and it is for that reason that i'm conflicted. i'm conflicted because the Bible clearly states, among several places, in Romans 12: 17-21:ReplyDelete
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Why do we feel like "it had to be done"? I will pray for that thought ingrained in my mind, which is so contradictory to the Bible's teachings.
I, too want us to be different, to not cheer the death of an unredeemed soul - even one that has caused so much suffering. Surely Christ does not cheer the death of one who almost certainly died outside of grace, and neither should we.ReplyDelete
The Scriptures teach us that God does not rejoice over the death of the wicked, and it also teaches that God said, 'Let justice roll down like waters.' Therefore, Christians can be saddened that someone is now in hell, yet rejoice that justice has been served. This really isn't all that difficult.ReplyDelete
You weren't alone in your reaction. The cheering was a bit embarrassing, and looked too much like some streets in the mideast on the day the towers fell. It would be nice to think Americans were more thoughtful about their reactions, but that type of American was not seen in the news reports. Also, I noticed most of people in last night's crowds were very young; perhaps the oldsters were too tired to join them at that hour, but the video game mentality toward violence may have been on display. It seems that attitude is generational, and alarming. Yes, it had to be done, but the cycle continues, nonetheless, and precious few were thinking as we are that it wasn't all fun and games.ReplyDelete

Rev. Howell,ReplyDelete
Jimmy pointed me to your blog. Thank you for voicing what I didn't have the courage to say out loud. While I am glad that OBL will no longer be able to mastermind any more catastrophic events, I cannot, in good conscience, rejoice over the death of another human being - especially since things may not be too terribly happy for him on the other side. And yes, shouldn't Americans - Christians! - be different than those in terrorist countries who shout in the streets and burn us in effigy? Thank you for your thoughts.

(Yes, I sang that one Sunday in church.)
Thank you for your posting your thoughts.ReplyDelete
I edited this a little now - to avoid the impression that killing/execution had to be done; I think it's the apprehension of a criminal that had to be done...ReplyDelete
I was personally glad to hear the news, but said at the state of humanity that we are where we are still in history. It needed to be done. Had to be done to protect innocents and help with the interfaith dialogue as this man distorted Islam. Our local mosque said as much this evening on our local news. I think people are just happy this killer is no longer a threat, much as it was with the news of Adolf, and not so much celebrating the fact we had to kill him. ~nppReplyDelete
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." ~Martin Luther King Jr.ReplyDelete
Symbolism is unfortunately our coutry's mantra. I hope ---- HOPE ---- we can find the right path.ReplyDelete
Rev. Howell: Of course you're not alone.ReplyDelete
Re Jeana's post: in general most people that get out in the streets and celebrate ARE (and have historically been) young people. I don't think that's something new.
I'm thrilled to see evil being abolished. I am proud to be a Nazarene Pastor and I will be at the Flagpole Thursday thanking God for His blessing and praying our Country yield to Him.ReplyDelete
I fully agree. I cannot understand the feeling of jubilation after anyone's death. Remember, we should love our enemies, pray for them, and not sink to their hateful irreverent level.ReplyDelete
The pastors at my church are always reminding us about the importance of love. Love does not gloat after the killing of an enemy. Come on, America, show some class.
we are so individualistic: to think that getting rid of a single person will solve anything... but a whole complex of moods and historical quirks and societal trends have led to the conditions under which bin Laden could get a following; this is where we need our attention trained, not just on getting rid of a sole personReplyDelete
Thanks, James. You put into words my sentiments and feelings in such a thought-provoking way.ReplyDelete
As a Christian and an ordained minister, I have struggled somewhat with my feelings of satisfaction and peace (I think "joy" is a bit strong for me personally) over the death of Osama Bin Laden. Does loving my enemies mean that I should mourn his death? Does turning the other cheek mean that I should not support our military's efforts to eradicate terrorists? I actually think "No," on both accounts. We as Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of God and that he died on a cross to redeem the world. We believe that all people have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and that none of us are good enough to stand before God based on our own merit. And because of that, we believe, I believe, that I am no more deserving of God's love and compassion based on my own merit than is Osama Bin Laden. God loves all people, just as we love our own children – not based on their merit. And God wants us to live at peace with one another and to love and support one another. On the other hand, the God we worship is a God of justice and a God who gave us laws to live by and these are non-negotiable. One of these laws is "Thou shall do no murder," and murder is defined as taking the life of a person without just cause. The authors of the books of both the Old and New Testaments would view the actions of Osama Bin Laden on numerous occasions as murderous. When one commits murder, as it says in Genesis 4: 10, even the blood of the slain cries out for justice. And we cry out for justice. We have been crying out for justice for the past ten years, and now those cries have been answered. Should we feel ashamed for feeling a sense of profound satisfaction that this murderer has finally been brought to justice and that he can no longer murder anyone else? I don't think so, and I don't think that Jesus would think so either. As Paul writes in the thirteenth chapter of his epistle to the Romans, the government does not bear the sword in vain "for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil." That wrath came down on Osama Bin Laden and I think we can all thank God for the brave men and women of our armed forces who risked their lives to see that justice was done.ReplyDelete

hey how's your new gender-friend ;-)?
by hytham_hammer August 06, 2005
A friend, with whom you are having casual, yet emotional sex. Differing from a Fuck buddy in that there is emotion involved in the pairing, usually a combination of jealousy loneliness.
Uninformed Man: Well, I don't have a girlfriend, but I know a girl who'd be really pissed off if she heard me say that.
Learned Man: You sir, have a gender friend.
Learned Man: You sir, have a gender friend.
by Spencers Finest January 07, 2008
A gender-free way to address a boyfriend or girlfriend so as not to offend people who are gay, although it is somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Partner, Other Half, My Steady and Bedmate are all better alternatives for gay-friendly ways to signify a steady relationship. The term genderfriend is also useful if you see a couple, one of whose gender is ambiguous.
I am taking my genderfriend to the movies tonight; I hope I can get to third base after sitting through a gender-flick.
Did you see that girl and her, ummmm, genderfriend? Was that an ugly chick or a girly guy?

The Korea Broadcasting System (KBS) is the oldest and largest public television and radio station in the Republic of Korea. The media powerhouse has been selected as the national television station for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games to be broadcast live, using 4K ultra-HD technology.
Ultra-HD continues to grow in popularity and KBS has started to invest heavily in it. They put a lot of focus on post-production and depend on the amount of rich content they can add to their minute-long news segments.
The data volume from video footage is exploding with the move from HD to 4K ultra-HD. KBS's legacy HD production system was unable to handle high-streaming video production, so they needed a new non-linear editing system. The new system significantly enhanced the resolution of their 4K video stream bandwidth from 25 Mbit/s to 50 Mbit/s to 400 Mbit/s to 1,000 Mbit/s. The new digital news production system also features a large number of non-linear editing workstations to process 4K and traditional news footage.
Video editing is much different from broadcasting. It is a creative process that requires non-linear editing software and the addition of special effects over the timeline, trailers, and other layers of video clips. By comparison, video playback for broadcasting is a sequential I/O read that requires less performance from storage assets, but a higher demand on storage performance.
Each workstation needed to process four layers of 4K, 1 Gbit/s video bit streams, requiring a minimum of 500 MB/s of bandwidth per workstation when accessing the storage system. This required more optimization at the storage system access link to achieve the desired bandwidth. In addition, the bandwidth performance of the storage system had to carry the full-load from all workstations during high-use times.
KBS already owned a large number of storage devices from other mainstream vendors. However, the equipment was only able to satisfy HD video editing requirements. Stepping into 4K editing and the multiple layers of processing required the latest technology.
The director of the KBS Digital News Center said, "The 4K era is upon us and our storage systems are strained by the new pressures. Storage systems capacity is totally stretched when handling 4K programming. We need to construct a new-generation storage system that is future-oriented in order to make the jump to ultra-HD."
In the broadcast television field, each minute of video is highly valuable. Program teams spend considerable manpower and material resources on finishing the production. Any loss or damage of video assets cost the studio huge amounts of money. KBS places a high premium on protecting its video resources. Considering the storage system is the carrier of the video stock, KBS required a 24/7 system that tolerated single points of failure, meaning a system with primary and backup storage to ensure complete protection.
The rapid development of multimedia platforms, the increasing popularity of 4K ultra-HD video, and the mushrooming amounts of data pose greater storage challenges. Faced with increasing demands for higher quality programming, capacity expansion of traditional storage systems could not fulfill business requirements. KBS engineers sought a way to build a system with flexible expansion capabilities to handle the exploding data increase.
KBS followed a stringent testing process required by South Korean regulations. Huawei was only responsible for setting up the environment, while specific verification operations were completed by KBS and the media industry.
Huawei provided two OceanStor 9000 Big Data Storage Systems, equipped with Huawei-developed InfoTurbo technology, for mutual backup, copying data from primary storage through the InfoReplicator function to the backup system, and to ensure data availability.
The OceanStor 9000 is the only storage system able to process four layers of 1 Gb/s non-linear editing.
The primary system has eight P25 nodes in the initial configuration, providing more than 6 GB/s in throughput and 100 TB in capacity. The backup system has three P36 nodes, providing 3 GB/s bandwidth for data backup. The solution uses 10 GE all-IP networking and can seamlessly integrate the existing services systems at KBS.
The OceanStor 9000 package includes smart cache utilities able to analyze the encoding formats of mainstream media files with a series of read service models and forecasting algorithms, improving the cache hit rate in non-linear editing. InfoTurbo features a zero-copy design for the I/O path, disk read and write optimizations, and many other functions.
OceanStor 9000 also uses distributed RAID algorithms to eliminate risks from single points of failure. Protection against power failures, using memory and hardware redundancies, help ensure around-the-clock operational continuity.
The system uses a distributed cluster architecture capable of:
Combining the leading-edge performance of Huawei OceanStor into its latest efforts, KBS was able to move its programming into the ultra-HD era. Huawei storage fulfilled the project parameters and completed the tasks that the previous network equipment was incapable of accomplishing.
The OceanStor 9000 has enabled KBS to be the first to transition to 4K ultra-HD production, delivering a richer visual experience for viewers while laying the groundwork for enhanced live broadcast quality for the 2018 PyeongChang games.
OceanStor's primary/backup dual system design and distributed architecture eliminates the risk of single points of failure. The design ensures zero loss of footage and other assets, providing maximum protection for production investments.
Thanks to the elastic architecture of the OceanStor 9000, capacity is easily expanded to handle the rapid increases in data from ultra-HD. Simply increasing the storage nodes allows KBS to expand its front-end services with ease.

The observation level of the Georgia Dome was a lonely place just more than 24 hours before Wichita State takes the court against Louisville on Saturday in the Final Four.
The man who runs the elevator up to this sky-high level, Leonard Hardy, doesn't push the button labeled "OL" very much.
"You're getting on up there when I hit that one," Hardy said.
From the perch – the highest point one can be at in the stadium – one can see the entirety of the 71,228-seat home of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons. Every seat was empty on Friday and the black and red seats – Falcons colors – served as a reminder of the enormity of the event about to take place. It's where Falcons assistants sit during football games and it was where CBS television crews were setting up for Saturday's games.
What you won't see from this view is the massive amount of people behind the scenes trying to make the facility's third Final Four go off without a hitch. The Georgia Dome also hosted the Final Four in 2002 and 2007. Georgia Tech and the ACC are running this one after hosting the South Regional finals last season, just as Cowboys Stadium did last week in anticipation of hosting the 2014 Final Four.
Georgia Tech facility and operations manager Cheryl Watts is running game management for the Final Four, a massive undertaking that has been two years in the making, a period in which Georgia Tech has managed to retain 95 percent of its staff that will work the Final Four.
"This is as big as it gets," Watts said. "We've been very fortunate to work with a great staff at the Georgia Dome … this thing is a bear, from finding staff members to running an operation. The scope of it is mind-blowing.
"I don't get much sleep anyway, but this week it's even less."
Georgia Tech had an ace in the hole with senior associate athletic director Paul Griffin, who has been a part of both Final Fours at the Georgia Dome and one in St. Petersburg, Fla.
"He's a great teacher, a great leader," Watts said. "He tells us to come to him if we have a problem or something he can't handle, otherwise he says he'll stay out of the way."
The transformation of the Georgia Dome for the Final Four started at the end of February after hosting the American Motorcross Association's Supercross event, which required 500 truckloads of dirt to be dumped into the arena.
The NCAA, which bumped seating to more than 74,000 for Saturday's semifinals and Monday's final, has a temporary seating arrangement that sits about 18,000 and is placed to fit over the top of the lower-level seating at the Georgia Dome, with the court on risers and roughly where the 50-yard line would be.
The NCAA also brought in a four-sided, 183,000-pound video board that hangs above the court. It's the first time the Georgia Dome has had a center-hung video board for a sporting event.
"We were able to figure out what we were doing right and what we were doing wrong last year when we hosted the regional," Watts said. "That was an immense help to be able to kind of have a test run."
It's almost certain this will be the last Final Four at the Georgia Dome – but not in Atlanta. A $948 million stadium has been in the works since 2010, and last month the Falcons and Atlanta agreed to build the stadium together.
"The agreement we negotiated is one of the best (stadium deals) in America," Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "We're going to build a terrific stadium. We have kept our team in downtown Atlanta. It's a very big deal … we did the right thing."

Critical Questions Democrats Must Ask About School Choice
By Jeff Bryant
Campaign for America's Future
Left-leaning people everywhere recently got a hoot when the Texas Republican Party declared its opposition to the teaching of "Higher Order Thinking Skills," including "critical thinking skills," in public schools. Although a party spokesperson later back-peddled from that statement -- saying that including "critical thinking skills" in their declaration was a "mistake" -- there's little doubt that what these Republicans object to most is any sort of education that would challenge "fixed beliefs" and "authority."
Frankly, I don't see what Republicans are so worried about. Because when it comes to the subject of education, there's very little evidence that critical thinking is widespread these days, especially among the people who Republicans are supposed to worry about most -- Democrats.
Exhibit A in Democrats' inability to think critically about school policies is the recent rush by many in the party's leadership to embrace "parent trigger" laws. These are measures that allow a majority of 50 +1 parents to shut down a local school and provide an alternative that usually involves turning the school over to a private management company, instituting a privately operated charter, or getting vouchers to send children to private schools.
Among the first in line to endorse the parent trigger were the nation's mayors with prominent Democratic mayors "leading the charge." Rep. George Miller, the ranking member on the House committee controlling education legislation, has also praised the idea of the parent trigger. Numerous sources claim Education Secretary Arne Duncan is a fan. And rumors have swirled among Beltway types that the Obama campaign may be supportive.
Although parent trigger is acquiring these backers, Democrats need to understand these measures have strong backing among conservative Republicans, too. The corporate-backed American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) has written model legislation enacting the parent trigger into law, and the conservative Heartland Institute has also drafted a version of this legislation.
Democrats couch their support of parent trigger laws in the lofty rhetoric of "a civil rights fight," as former California state senator Gloria Romero, who now runs that state's branch of Democrats for Education Reform, likes to put it. But regardless of whether backers of the trigger are Democrats or Republicans, the argument for this policy idea always boils down to "choice" and the belief that the responsibility of educating the nation's children needs to shift from community to family, and parents need to be treated more like consumers in the educational marketplace.
The idea of education policy driven solely by "choice" has been pushed by Republicans since the Reagan presidency. Once upon a time Democrats opposed school choice efforts, especially when these efforts were called"vouchers." But now, not so much. Why?
At a time when Democrats, including President Obama, are challenging the fixed beliefs Republican have about tax cuts, immigration, and healthcare, why would they not at least consider the following critical questions about the benefits and pitfalls of school choice?
What Could Be Wrong With Choice?
Of course the rhetoric of "school choice" sounds really good. What could be wrong with "choice?" Well, what's so right about it?
The Pied Piper of school choice is undoubtedly Jeb Bush, who recently declared "school choice is a catalytic converter for rising student achievement" in a speech delivered to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials.
Like so many "signs of progress" that school "reform" enthusiasts like to crow about, Bush's recipe for "reform" is little more than a policy checklist that invariably includes instituting some form of school choice (Parent Trigger, charter schools, etc.), grading schools A-F, and evaluating teachers based on test scores.
Hardly ever do Bush and his followers connect this checklist of reforms to actual positive impacts on children -- because, in fact, they can't.
The results of Bush's program for public schools -- what he likes to refer to as "the Florida miracle" -- are very thin indeed. The "miracle" claim is derived primarily from the fact that Florida fourth graders, especially black fourth graders, out-gained the national average on the National Association of Education Progress in 2003 and 2005.
Impressive perhaps, until education researcher and testing expert Walter Haney looked into the situation. What Haney uncovered is that NAEP results for Florida fourth graders spiked because the population of fourth graders had been significantly changed.
It turns out that the scores for Florida fourth graders had improved mostly because the state suddenly started flunking large numbers of third graders, so low-achieving third graders were still in third grade when the fourth grade test was given. "With only the higher-achieving students taking the test, the scores jumped," according to an article in NEA Today.
"What's more," the article continues, "the state flunked a much higher proportion of black than white students -- no wonder the achievement gap shrank."
Bearing out Haney's findings, sure enough, Florida's results on more recent NAEPs have shown that the gains Bush loves to cite have now stalled. So much for the "miracle."
Aside from Jeb Bush's Magical Mystery Tour, the longest running choice programs in America -- voucher programs in Milwaukee and Washington DC -- have done little to improve student achievement. Regarding Milwaukee, Diane Ravitch has pointed out that:
In Milwaukee, after 21 years of vouchers, black students have among the lowest scores of any city tested, ranked at the bottom along with Detroit, Fresno, and Cleveland. Independent research has shown that the black and low-income students in Milwaukee's voucher schools have the same low scores as the black students in the public schools. Their scores are about the same as those of poor black kids in the Deep South. Vouchers and competition did nothing for the children of Milwaukee.
The DC voucher program has had mixed results at best and likely only short term benefit to students.
Who Really Gets A "Choice?"
Nevertheless, many see choice as a panacea for underserved communities to escape the traditional public schools that are struggling with overcrowding and underfunding. Proponents of school choice maintain that it poses as a solution for families to "escape their zip codes" -- a reference to the strong tendency in this country for school quality to correlate with the relative wealth of the parents where the school is located.
But a recent article in The New York Times revealed that the benefits of school choice often accrue to the well-to-do.
The article reveals that in eight states, choice programs -- operating under the auspice of offering "scholarships" to needy students -- "have been twisted to benefit private schools at the expense of the neediest children."
"Spreading at a time of deep cutbacks in public schools," the article notes, the programs have redirected some $350 million that would have gone into public budgets to supplement tuition paid by families who already send their kids to private and religious schools and pay administrative fees to new privately operated groups who manage the scholarships.
How many of these families are there who have the means and inclination to send their kids to private schools but will jump at the prospect of getting a tax credit or voucher to do it on the public dime? The truth is, no one knows.
But regardless of the form of school choice that policy makers choose -- vouchers, charters, parent trigger -- there's nothing in the essentials of choice that guarantee better outcomes for the least served families and every indicator that choice further enables better-off, more empowered families to game the system.
Furthermore, nothing about school choice, regardless of the form, guarantees parents get the kind of school quality they desire. Studies have shown that in a typical school choice program, the private school services that parents mostly desire -- small class sizes, well-rounded curriculum, individualized services -- will still be out of reach for most parents.
Instead, the choice that most parents will be stuck with is whether they stay in their neighborhood school -- as it is rapidly being defunded to the private sector and gradually being depopulated of the children of the most well-to-do parents -- or choose a private or charter that pays teachers much less and provides fewer services for their children and no benefits of prestigious private schools.
What Kind Of Choice Do Democrats Want?
Many of the Democrats who come out for school choice have given very little thought as to what kind of school choice they want. Even Republican backers of school choice get surprised by the consequences of the policy they so ardently campaigned for.
In Louisiana, for instance, Republicans state representative Valarie Hodges retracted her support for Gov. Bobby Jindal's choice program after realizing the voucher money that enables the program could be applied to Muslim schools.
According to an article at Huffington Post, Hodges initially supported the governor's choice program -- probably, the most radical choice program in the country -- because "she mistakenly equated 'religious' with 'Christian,' and "Jindal's reform package allows state education funds to be used to send students to religious schools."
Left-leaning people may laugh about the irony of this -- a Republican advocating to transfer taxpayer funds to religious schools, but only if they teach her religion -- but the reality of this is that Democrats have put very little thought into how they want choice initiatives to actually turn out. So far, all the faith in school choice seems to be placed in the "magic of the market." But what if the market turns out to look like this list of religious schools that the Louisiana choice program is likely to fund. Are Democrats satisfied to have taxpayer money pay for that?
Another very real outcome that Democrats are not thinking of is how choice tends to increase segregation.
In fact, a recent review conducted by the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) looked at the more than two-thirds of OECD countries that have increased school choice opportunities for parents in the last 25 years. The review found that "providing full parental school choice results in further student segregation between schools, by ability, socio-economic and ethnic background, and in greater inequities across education systems."
Writing at Next New Deal, blog site for the Roosevelt Institute, Amy Baral lays out a school choice landscape that includes inter-district, intra-district, and charter schools.
Regardless of the scenario, her conclusion is that "for poor families, immigrants, or students without stable homes, the amount of engagement and information required to make an informed decision is difficult to come by." And "middle-class parents are often better equipped" and "have the education, skills, and resources necessary to make an informed choice."
Choice is no substitute for where-with-all and cannot erase the advantages of inequality. In New York City, for instance, where mayor Bloomberg promotes aggressive charter takeovers of public schools, despite parent concerns, NYC resident Diane Ravitch recently noticed that City University of New York now offers courses in how to pick a charter school for your child. The cost? -- $75. Does that sound like a leveling factor to you?
Is "School Choice" Really The Only Choice?
For years, in an education landscape dominated by No Child Left Behind, Democrats and Republicans essentially "copied each other," as veteran edu-journalist Jay Mathews recently observed on his blog at The Washington Post.
But now, education policy has moved firmly into the post-NCLB era, and technocratic approaches, like NCLB spawn Race to the Top, are growing in increasing disfavor.
As always, in times of policy confusion, Republicans, with their deep-pocketed backers, are at the ready to fill the void with rhetoric about choice, competition, and markets. But Democrats don't have to meekly fall into line.
Instead they need to understand that whether you call choice initiatives vouchers, tax credits, or parent [whatever], the intent is always the same: to turn what was once a collaborative community endeavor -- the education of our next generation of citizens and leaders -- into a competitive scramble for "me first."
In fact, if you're a parent who has ever waited in line, during the wee hours of the morning, to be first in the door to enroll your three-year old in the most prestigious pre-school program in your community, then you already know what "school choice" is all about. It sucks. Now imagine having to do that, in some form, for every child, in every grade, until they finally graduate from high school. That is, indeed, the logical consequence of school choice. So Democrats need to think critically if that is what they really want.

Since 1970, the number of children in K-12 schools has increased by about 9%, the number of public school employees has gone up 96%. And what did we get for this vast increase in resources? By any measurement, nothing! Money is not, apparently, the problem.
So, we have these failing schools. These schools based upon the government model of compulsory taxation and compulsory attendance. Is it really that surprizing that people want to try a different model. I do not know whether a more market driven approach giving parents vouchers and school choice will work. But, the current system is not. Furthermore, the marketplace paradigm seems to work in almost every other part of our economy quite well. It, therefore, seems worthy of being tried.
As the move toward privatizing education gains momentum through public deception by backers such as Arne Duncan, Michelle Rhee, hedge fund investors, etc, America is losing the cornerstone of its democracy, the ability to educate all members of its populace.
While we establish a caste system of educating America's children, i.e., those who can afford education and those who are marginalized, we are committing national suicide.
Thirty years ago, the children of California had access to quality higher education. Today, under destabilization of funding and legislation, we have destroyed that system. Tuition is mounting, schools are cutting programs, tenured positions are being replaced by hourly instructors, courses are being offered online, classes can balloon to over 100 students.
All this under the guise of "education reform" with the public electing leaders such as Jeb Bush, George Bush (NCLB), and any right wing conservative who waves the flag and spouts how their policies are saving America.
Cost per student for education in the United States has risen substantially over the last 40 years. Cost per student in California is exceedingly high. You cannot, of course, look at school board budgets in California. For example, Los Angeles routinely discards their capital budget when looking at costs. If you look at total costs per student (including capital budgets, etc) education costs for K-12 in the US are at their highest. Much higher than a generation ago. So, whatever the problems with education in K-12, it isn't about money.

What do we know about docs and pharma?
Posted by April 12, 2011 at 12:10 AM
Last week I had the privilege of speaking at the Oregon Rural Practice Based Research Network (ORPRN) meeting as part of the Oregon Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) annual assembly. I was one of several speakers in an afternoon devoted to the Physician-Pharmaceutical Industry relationship and presented a recent paper about my pharm free office.
There were two things that struck me in the questions and answer session that followed the talk. First, a number of people commented that their offices were also pharm free but they did not write about it in any medical literature. Surveys show that about 94% of doctors interact in some way with drug reps. I wonder how many practices out there are pharm-free if nobody is reporting them?
Second, many doctors at the meeting commented that they have tried to take their practices pharm-free but have not been successful for a variety of reasons.
So to all of you reading this post I ask this:
- How do you and your practice or hospital interact with pharma? Are you pharm free?
- If you have tried to get your practice or hospital to become pharm-free but have not been successful, what are the barriers?
Let me say how proud I am to be a part of the NPA and the OAFP – two organizations that do not accept pharma money. And in the spirit of the dialogue that was started at last week's OAFP meeting please let us know what your practice or hospital is doing with respect to the Physician-Pharmaceutical Industry relationship.
4 Responses to "What do we know about docs and pharma?"
I came back from the meeting, had a good look at my office, and cleaned out a BUNCH of pharm logo junk. Biggest barrier in my office will be colleagues who like the lunches, trinkets and schmooze! Staff likes lunches, but I agree with the speaker who offered monthly lunch with meeting time to staff, it would be more productive. Trinkets add ++ to the office clutter and will not be missed, I'm sure. I will miss the inhalers and insulin, the only samples that I believe really help out patients.
Hi, I'm a patient (not a doctor). I left my previous internist in part because she interacted too much with drug reps (lunches, stuff with pharma logos). When I was looking for a new internist, I was not able to find one who is completely pharm free. My internist uses drug samples, which I guess means at least some interaction with drug reps. He does not let them bring food.
Is there any easy way to locate pharm-free doctors? I would be interested to know. No free lunch has a database of doctors but it is very limited.
Also, has your paper been published? If so, do you have a link? Thx.
The paper will be published in the Journal of Family Practice in August 2011. You should be able to find it online and perhaps take it to your internist.

Theatre by candlelight opens at the Globe
Fourteen years after the opening of Shakespeare's Globe, the vision of its founder has been fully realised.
The thatched amphitheatre on London's South Bank now stands cheek by jowl with a brand new, old theatre: the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
This second theatre is designed to replicate the indoor playhouses of the early 17th Century.
The theatre holds 340 people with two tiers of galleried seating and an historically accurate pit seating area. The first programmed season opens officially on January 15 with The Duchess of Malfi
The play is performed entirely by candlelight as the reconstruction architect John Greenfield explains.

You know...I left the Today I Won post up for a few weeks, because, if you know anything about writing, when you finish a project...for a little bit...you feel like you've done something perfect.
And then the day after you feel like a total reject. Because that's when the letters start pouring in.
Let me show you how this happens:
When the 'no' letters start to come in, you're sad but still hopeful, so only the letter 'p' falls off to make:
And then a letter comes in full of praise, but still 'no,' confusing the letters and making them think...hmmm, why not?...so they switch places and become:
And then a particularly wanted letter comes in...'no'...and it knocks you on your keister so you can't breathe...which also knocks the letter 'f' completely backwards and upside down until it almost doesn't look like itself anymore. In fact, it looks like a 'j'. So now you have:
See? Perfect to reject in three easy steps. That is why a writer has to have skin the thickness of a 2x4. And that's also why you don't stew about it and cook yourself into some serious mental health soup.
You start over. Which I did.
And you laugh about it. Which I am.
And you have a good time. Because if you're not doing that, you shouldn't be writing in the first place.

Week two of Living arrows already, and I feel like I've not really got started yet this year.
I'm still not feeling well after coming down with a flu-type bug on new year's eve, and I've sort of been in survival mode rather than get-stuff-done mode!
But, we did manage to get a big job done at the weekend.
We put up bunk beds in Rhys and Nerys' bedroom.
They were so, so excited when they came home from Nana and Pops' house to find these set up in their bedroom.
Straight away they were both up that ladder to check out the view from the top bunk.
Every now and then I think it would be nice to have a bigger house, where they could each have their own room. And as they get older that is something we'll need to sort out. But for now, they both seem to love being in a room together.
And it's so nice to hear them up there chatting away to each other.

Thanksgiving Decor Free Printable
Thanksgiving is this coming weekend here in Canada. Thanksgiving is a big deal in my family. It is a time to gather, enjoy family time, and of course a lot of good food!
My mother happens to have the day off from work today. This means we will be spending it decorating my home for our Thanksgiving gathering on Saturday. My siblings and their families will be coming from Hamilton Saturday morning to do our annual pumpkin patch adventure. Once we have worn out the kids and had our fun we will return to my home for a big feast.
My sister's birthday is on October 9th so we always celebrate her birthday when we are all together for Thanksgiving.
I always have the kids write down a list of what they are thankful for. It helps them look beyond material things and realize what really matters. It's a great exercise for us adults to do too. Sometimes we can get caught up with the kids, work, and just life in general that we forget to take the time to remember what matters most.
I love framed decor but if I bought up every piece I have fallen in love with I would be broke. Being frugal, when we need new seasonal framed decor I just hop on my computer and design some. I love playing around with fonts, textures, and graphics.
We will have a table for the kids to do their thankful activity. I decided they need something to get them inspired so I went on my computer and created this printable to frame and have on the center of the table. I think it will help get their thankful juices flowing. Afterwards I can use it around the house as my fall decor!
Thanksgiving Decor FREE Printable
This free printable decor is made for an 8 x 10 frame. You can scale it down before printing if you want to put it in a smaller frame.

Understanding Synchronization Knowledge
This topic provides an abstract view of how the Sync Framework synchronization algorithms use knowledge to enable change enumeration and conflict detection. Knowledge is the metadata that describes all the changes that have been applied to a replica, either directly or though synchronization. Change enumeration is the process of determining which items have been changed on the source replica that the destination replica does not have knowledge of. Conflict detection is the process of determining which operations were made by one replica without transferring knowledge of the change to the other replica, for example, when two replicas make local updates to the same item.
Generally, synchronization providers and applications will not directly use knowledge. Instead, they will call Sync Framework methods that invoke knowledge operations on their behalf.
Knowledge Operations
The following table lists and describes the synchronization knowledge operations.
Determines whether a specified knowledge object contains a specified version of an item. (Version is a replica key and a tick count.) In other words, determine whether the replica that owns this knowledge has applied this change. The item ID and version are required inputs to this operation.
This operation is used in change enumeration and conflict detection.
From two knowledge objects, constructs a new knowledge object that contains exactly the same set of changes that is contained by at least one of the original knowledge objects.
This operation is used during change application.
By using a specified knowledge object and an item ID, change unit ID, or range of item IDs, generates a new knowledge object that contains the same changes as the original for the specified ID or range of IDs, and nothing for the rest of the items.
This operation is used when knowledge must be restricted to a particular item, change unit, or range of items; for example, during interrupted synchronization, batching, and some advanced forms of filtered synchronization.
By using a specified knowledge object and an item ID or change unit ID, generates a new knowledge object that contains nothing for the specified ID, but the same changes as the original for the rest of the items. This operation is the opposite of the project operation: an exclude operation projects the knowledge on everything except the specified item.
This operation is typically used during failures in change application.
Change Enumeration
Change enumeration is implemented by the developer of the source provider. By using specified knowledge operations, change enumeration works as follows:
The destination provider sends the current knowledge of the destination replica to the source provider.
The source provider iterates through all items in the source replica and performs the following steps for each item:
Determines whether the destination knowledge contains the item version that is stored in the source replica.
If not, includes the item in the batch of changes to send to the destination provider.
Change enumeration can also be handled by using either a direct query on the item store or by using a combination of a query and this algorithm, if it is supported by the item store.
Change Sending
Enumerated changes must be sent from the source provider to the destination provider. To do this, changes are divided into batches; and for every batch the following information is sent:
Metadata that describes the changes themselves. The provider adds metadata to the batch for each change contained in the batch.
The made-with knowledge, which is typically the current knowledge of the source replica, to be used in conflict detection. Made-with knowledge answers the question: What did you know when you made these changes? The provider adds made-with knowledge to the batch for each group of changes added to the batch.
The learned knowledge. This is the current knowledge of the source replica projected onto the subset of the items that are being sent in this batch, and also the logged conflicts. Learned knowledge answers the question: What will I learn when I apply these changes? Sync Framework computes the learned knowledge on behalf of the provider.
Batching and change enumeration can be processed in parallel because batching does not have to wait for change enumeration to finish.
Depending on the order in which changes are sent, projecting the knowledge onto the items in the batch can take more or less time to perform. For example, knowledge supports item ID ranges. Therefore, if changes are sent in the order of the item IDs to which they apply, knowledge projection will be very efficient.
Regardless of the ordering, the project operation can always project knowledge onto the batch that is being sent.
When the source provider cannot send an item that was enumerated, the item must then be excluded from the learned knowledge that is sent. This is achieved by using the exclude operator.
Conflict Detection
Conflict detection is handled by Sync Framework components, such as NotifyingChangeApplier (for managed code) or ISynchronousNotifyingChangeApplier (for unmanaged code).
After the destination provider has received a batch of changes, which contains the learned and made-with knowledge for the batch, the following determinations must be made for each change in the batch:
Is this change in conflict with the current version of the item stored in the destination replica?
Is this change obsolete (superseded by the current version of the item that is stored in the destination replica)?
Answering these questions is straightforward:
A change conflicts with the current version when the version on the item stored in the destination replica is not contained in the knowledge of the source replica.
A change is obsolete when its version is contained in the knowledge of the destination replica.
Under typical circumstances, obsolete changes are not sent. However, race conditions can cause these changes to be sent. Therefore, Sync Framework must detect and handle them.
Change Application
After the changes have been received and conflicts have been detected, the changes can be applied to the destination replica. At this point, the destination provider performs the following steps:
Adjusts the learned knowledge of the change batch for things that occurred locally:
If only a subset of changes were applied because of interruptions or cancellations, sets a recoverable error for each change that was not applied. Sync Framework uses the project operator to restrict learned knowledge to only this set.
If application of some changes failed because of Digital Rights Management (DRM) issues, such as objects being locked, the destination provider sets a recoverable error for each change that was not applied. Sync Framework uses the exclude operator to remove the failed changes from the learned knowledge.
If any conflicts were detected and not resolved, Sync Framework uses the exclude operator to remove them also.
Replaces the knowledge of the destination replica with the updated destination knowledge computed by Sync Framework.

GX Gaming Maurus X FPS/RTS Approved Gaming Mouse Review
Specifications, Availability and Pricing
Following the chart to start this off, there is a lot of information given, but it is a bit vague at times. Things start off with the part number at the top of the list, followed by the words metal, and yes. Since the mouse is mostly plastic with rubberized sides, I have to assume this addressed the accents applied to the top of the Maurus X. It shows compatibility with any Windows OS since XP, and gets the designation of an FPS/RTS mouse. The mouse is connected via full speed USB 2.0, offers the ability to house 40 Macros, and the Avago ADNS3090 optical sensor offers up to 4000DPI in 800DPI jumps. Other than showing that there is a UI for this mouse to program and set things, it shows the Maurus X has six buttons and a scroll wheel.
What you receive in the box is a smaller mouse, but aesthetically you are given a mouse that has defined lines, uses a mix of materials and textures to spice things up visually, and is definitely a mouse that helps keep your right hand in great control of your movements and commands. The sides of the mouse offer one button each, and both have a rubber section on them to give a much better grip in the heat of battle. On the top of the mouse, both the right and left click buttons are concave to snuggle your fingers atop the Maurus X.
Along with a scroll wheel and DPI button, there is also a scorpion logo and the GX Gaming name that is illuminated like the scroll wheel is, once powered on. Inside the mouse you will find the Avago sensor to track the movements, but there is a mix of Omron switches under the two main buttons, but the rest are packed with much smaller brown pad style switches. It is also packaged with an Atmel 8-bit MCU, and an NXP ARM Cortex 32-bit processor with 32KB of onboard storage. One last bonus I almost forgot to mention is that the Maurus is ambidextrous.
Going through the usual channels to locate the Maurus X, you won't see much other than news of the mouse via Google at the time of writing. I then jumped over to Newegg where I came up empty as well. So off to Amazon I went, and low and behold they have the GX Gaming Maurus X in stock right now. The currently listing is showing that this mouse can be had at $62, and even comes with free shipping currently.
While not the most affordable FPS/RTS mouse on the market, it is nowhere near the most expensive either.

Hi all,
Hear's something to think about:
Do our Android need a quadcore and more than 1GB of ram?
If you ask me, I say "no".
I have a (old) HTC Desire Z and thanks to over 2 years of a great developing community, I am able to run Android 4.1 smoothly.
If you look to other mobile operating systems, i.e. Windows Phone. You see that there is no need for such powerful hardware because the OS is more flexible.
Now since the battery capacity of our phones doesn't evolve that quick as the need of power does, due to this ridiculous increasing CPU specs. I say, damn you better hardware! Mobile phone manufacturers need more focus on the operating system, firmware and software itself.
So tell me, what's your opinion?
Do we still need faster hardware or do we need to focus on the software?

Classes at Waiakea High School, in Hilo, Hawaii, were disrupted this week after school officials found an envelope that contained a suspicious white powdery substance.
The Hilo police and fire departments were dispatched to the school and the building was cleared after the alarm, according to a KPUA.net report.
School principal Patricia Nekoba told KPUA.net that the envelope was discovered by school officials in the administration building.
Civil Defense Chief Wendell Hatada reported that no one was ever in any danger during the disruption. Hatada also told KPUA.com that the fire department tested the suspect material and that all tests have come back negative for anthrax or any other harmful substance.
In related news, officials with the Hawaii Civil Defense and the Federal Fire Department took part in the third Makaala Drill at the U.S postal service processing and distribution center near the airport, according to a HawaiiNewsNow news report.
Postal workers evacuated the building while Honolulu and Federal firefighters, wearing Hazmat suits, went through a mock decontamination process. Firefighters also underwent decontamination via a liquid wash, according to the report.
Doug Aton, Director of Oahu Civil Defense, said he was pleased with the drill.
"As you can see by the response, it takes a lot of resources and a lot of man power so we want to make sure that we don't tax the fire department and the police department, and the emergency medical department people," Aton told HawaiiNewsNow. "We do this at least once every three years so it takes care of the changes in command, administration personnel and to make sure that we integrate our plan with theirs."
