On a sun-kissed Saturday afternoon, The Allman Brothers Band, its families and members both current and past, gathered at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles to accept the Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement award, alongside other recipients George Jones, Glen Campbell, the Memphis Horns, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gil Scott-Heron, and Diana Ross. The event was a preliminary to the 54th annual Grammy Awards the following evening. After a brief career-spanning video presentation, the band and family representatives took center stage, each receiving a Grammy, and spoke a few words to the 700 in attendance. Gregg Allman thanked the fans for their long and continued support, while Jaimoe detailed the early years. Butch Trucks told of the band's origins, nicknames, and garnered a standing ovation recognizing Duane Allman's contribution to his life, the band, and to the history of music. Galadrielle Allman and Berry Oakley, Jr. stood in for their late fathers, Duane and Berry, respectively, while Chuck Leavell acted as the link between the original band and its present and thanked the Academy on behalf of Dickey Betts, whom while expected to appear, did not attend. Active and relatively newer members Warren Haynes, Marc Quinones, Oteil Burbridge, and Derek Trucks rounded out the award winners. The following are the band's red carpet interviews with jambands.com prior to the ceremony.
Gregg Allman
After a Lifetime Achievement award, where does the band go from here?
We're slowing down, yeah, but we've been gradually doing that for some time. But, every now and then, we've got to have our boogie, man.
Any specific highlights from the band's 43 years come to mind?
Lots of times. We were brothers before we were successful. Just being around each other is still a real kick.
Your latest solo album is nominated for a Grammy this year. Do you ever feel the pull of your solo career over the Allman Brothers Band?
I've played with many, many musicians all around the world, all kinds of music, but there ain't nothing like playing with the Allman Brothers Band. Nothing against my band because I love them like they were my own, but nothing's like the Brothers.
Butch Trucks
I hope winning the Lifetime Achievement award doesn't mean that you are planning on retiring.
No! I ain't stopping now. There have been awards along the way; the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They actually gave us a Grammy once. I use it for my front doorstop. As a band in the early 1970s, we kind of changed the face of rock and roll. We took what the Beatles did, and what Cream did, and raised it a notch. Jammed from a blues base and brought in Miles Davis and John Coltrane, adding jazz to the whole thing. Not only that, but we opened the door for Southern musicians to stay in the South. And, on top of that, we were the number-one-selling band in the country for records, tickets, everything. All categories, we qualified for what the Grammys are supposed to be about. You know how many Grammys we got nominated for (in that era)? One. And it was for best cover art. Wasn't even for music.
So then how important is this Lifetime Achievement award Grammy?
This is a separate thing. This is different. I am proud of this and I am glad to be here.
Not another doorstop?
Now that you have a Lifetime Achievement award, how much longer do you want to keep playing?
Until my arms and legs fall off. As long as I still have a brain. It's all about what energy is being produced and getting it out. It doesn't matter how.
What are the standout moments of the past 43 years with this band?
Watkins Glen. The Fillmore. Transcendental days at the Ludlow Garage. Out of body experiences.

Manchester man accused of violating bail conditions
— Hernan Rios Calderon, 26, of 209 Wilson St., was arraigned Wednesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on a felony stalking charge that alleges he violated bail conditions on a January stalking charge, scheduled for trial April 9, by having contact with his alleged victim on Feb. 24.
Because he allegedly violated bail conditions, police prosecutors filed a motion to revoke his bail and have him held until his trial. A hearing on the motion was set for Thursday.
According to court documents, the alleged victim told police that when Rios Calderon saw her parked car on Massabesic Street, he made a U-turn, pulled up next to her vehicle and got out and pounded on her car window, demanding to know why she ignored his calls and texts. She told police she was frightened and told him to leave or she would call police. He left and she went home and called police.
The charge was brought as a felony because Rios Calderon was previously convicted of stalking, on Aug. 12, 2011. No plea can be entered to a felony charge in Circuit Court, so a probable cause hearing was set for March 18.
Accused of punching boyfriend
Elliana Ramirez, 19, of 84 Karatzas Ave., pleaded innocent Wednesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to a simple assault charge that alleges she punched her boyfriend Tuesday at the Karatzas Avenue address.
Bail was continued at $1,000 personal recognizance, with conditions that bar contact with the alleged victim and bar Ramirez from a specific Rimmon Street address. Trial was set for April 7.
Bail moot for inmate
Alexander Cummings, 18, a New Hampshire State Prison inmate since Feb. 24, was arraigned Wednesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on a misdemeanor charge of disobeying a police officer and a speeding violation.
Cummings, formerly of 82 W. Hillcrest Ave., allegedly failed to stop Jan. 22 when a police officer, with signals activated, sought to stop Cummings on Brown Avenue for speeding.
Bail was set at $1,000 cash/surety and trial was set for April 9.
On probation in Massachusetts
Joshua Silva, 27, of 295 Jackson St., Lawrence, Mass., was arraigned Wednesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on a felony charge of unarmed robbery and misdemeanors of unauthorized use of a vehicle and a subsequent offense of operating after suspension.
Silva is accused of taking a $417 water heater from a shelf at Home Depot, 129 March Ave., Oct. 12, 2013, and "returning" it for cash. He's accused of punching a loss prevention officer in the face and of fleeing in a vehicle belonging to his cousin, who told police she had not given him permission to use the car, which she said was supposed to be undergoing servicing.
Silva told Judge William Lyons that he had to continue living in Massachusetts because he is on probation there. "It's very shameful to stand up here," he said.
According to information he provided for a bail commissioner, Silva previously worked for a Derry-based roofing company. He also said his criminal record consists of three larceny convictions, one conviction of endangering the welfare of a child and one of disobeying a police officer.
Silva is free on $1,000 cash/surety bail, with conditions barring him from Home Depot and from contact with his cousin. A probable cause hearing on the felony charge was set for April 2 and trial on the misdemeanors was set for April 30.
Cash/surety bail this time
Evan Sanborn, 23, of 27 Leo St., was released on personal recognizance bail after his arrest Jan. 31 on misdemeanor charges of theft by unauthorized taking and resisting arrest. Sanborn is accused of stealing $109.99 in merchandise from the Sears store in the Mall of New Hampshire and of struggling with an officer seeking to handcuff him.
But when Sanborn failed to appear for arraignment Feb. 13 in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division, an electronic bench warrant was issued and bail was set at $1,000 cash/surety.
Judge William Lyons granted the request of police prosecutor Carrissa Pelletier to have that bail continued until trial, which is scheduled for April 8.
Bail revocation hearing set
A bail revocation hearing is set for Thursday morning in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division for Juan Valdez Ochoa, who was arraigned Wednesday on a new stalking charge.
Valdez Ochoa, 21, of 27 Elm St., was out on $1,000 personal recognizance bail on a Feb. 8 stalking charge, scheduled for trial March 19, when he allegedly stalked the woman again.
He is accused of being within 300 feet of a residence Tuesday while his alleged victim was inside, in violation of conditions of the February charge. Trial on the new stalking charge was set for April 8.

Looks odd but works great

About Me Avid Cyclist
I,m 245lb and enjoy riding my road bike for 70+ miles at a time. However, with a herniated lower back disk, the standard saddle on my Trek 1.1 was causing a lot of pain. My local store recommended this saddle and let me try it for a week. It took 3 - 4 rides (approx 160 miles) to get used to it but was well worth it. Before riding on the drops became painful quickly, now its my favorite and most comfortable position and has increased my average speed. Seemed a lot to spend on saddle compared to the cost of the whole bike but it has transformed my ride and I've saved plenty of money on chiropractor bills!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Transformed the way I ride
By Anne W.
from Arlington, VA
I bought the Adamo Road saddle to reduce pain but got much more. I had a very good saddle, but after about 10 miles I would feel like my girl parts were being cut. I had to adjust my shorts every few minutes to releave pain and roll my hips back to take the pressure off the sensitive tissue in the front. The most comfortable way to sit on the Adamo is forward on the break leavers or aero bars with my hips tilted forward so my chest is open. My body position is better, breathing is easier, and my cadence improved. It's not as soft as my old saddle so my sit bones get a little bruised if I sit too upright, but riding forward I have no pain, even after 20+ miles.
Excellent Saddle
By Don
from Oviedo, FL
If you are not finding yourself compatible with standard saddles I highly recommend that you try one of these. It will made a great difference for me.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

In Reply to: Spider posted by Bruce Kahl on March 20, 2004
: : : : : : What does it mean to "Go off on a Tangent" or "Wild Tangent"? Please help.
: : : : : When people are having a discussion and one is said "to go off on a tangent" it means that that person has deviated or diverged from the original purpose of the discussion.
: : : : : It is mathematical in origin.
: : : : The line that touches the straight one (in the diagram) but curves away after just touching it is called a "tangent" from the La**n "tangere," to touch. Christ said "Noli me tangere" (in the Vulgate), meaning "Don't touch me." Among the words derived from "tangere" is contingent. SS
: : : Yes, the word tangential has numerous cousins: tax, contact, attain, intact, tact, taste, tangible, tactile. What's common in all is the idea of touching (or not, as in case of "intact").
: : : (I had to edit out the "t" and "i" above as Google spiders this URL frequently and people start asking for translations which clogs things up)
: : Sometimes I just cannot think of the word I want, and that was the case of the past participle of tangere. As soon as my post was submitted it came back to me. Thanks for naming some of the numerous derivatives of tangere. But you have used a locution totally unfamiliar which looks as though it must be useful. What does it mean to "spider" a URL? Thanks in advance. SS
: A spider is a program that searches the World Wide Web automatically by retrieving a document and all documents linked to it.
: As a spider crawls around on the forest floor, a tech "spider" crawls all over the web looking for a preset or programmed target.
: Google has set its spider to look at the Phrasefinder board and check for changes. If it finds any, the changes are "phoned home" and put in the Google database.
: What happened in the past was I and a few others started translating from English to Latin various trinkets of words for visitors. So when people searched the web via Google with a search term such as "english to latin" the Phrasfinder's URL was displayed and we got blasted with requests for translations.
Thanks, and wow! I have always thought that to be an educated man I would have to know either La**in or Greek fluently, but I never achieved that. So you can imagine how impressed I am to hear from an actual educated man. No kidding! SS

A significant population of rats must be removed from a vessel seized for illegal fishing before it will be allowed to dock in Alaska, the Coast Guard said Saturday.
The Guard's staff in Juneau was working on the logistics of getting the 22 crew members off the Bangun Perkasa and dealing with the rats, spokeswoman Sara Francis said. A state law prevents ships with rats from entering Alaska waters.
The boat was seized as a stateless vessel on Sept. 7 for allegedly violating U.S. laws over drift net fishing. When the Coast Guard boarded the ship about 2,600 miles southwest of Kodiak, they retrieved a 10-mile net and found 30 tons of squid and 30 shark carcasses on board, she said.
It also didn't have a valid flag state registration, but the ship's crew initially claimed Indonesia as their flag state.
"When we contacted Indonesia, they said, `Nope, not ours,'" Francis said. "They became flagless at that point, and that's when we seized them."
Although the Coast Guard stops illegal drift netters on an annual basis, finding a ship that is stateless is relatively unusual, Francis said. "We haven't had a vessel that was stateless for quite some time. I can't think of the last one, and I've been here almost 10 years," she said.
Most vehicles suspected as illegal drift netters are returned to their own country but in this case, Francis said, the Coast Guard suspected the crew was from a mixture of countries and that the ship is not properly registered.
The crew members will be processed by Customs and Border Protection and Department of Homeland Security agents, and then returned to their home countries, she said. The nationalities of the crew members were not immediately known.
Francis said two Guard cutters were escorting the boat to Dutch Harbor, where it was expected to arrive Sunday.
The plan to rid the ship of rats will involve traps and anti-coagulant poison. The process might take up to seven days, she said.
The crew will be off the ship before eradication efforts start," said Joe Meehan with the state Department of Fish and Game.

What should I wear on a blind date? I need the perfect outfit that's casual, but
A blind date is an unquestionably nerve-wracking occasion (even if it ends up being totally thrilling). But though you may feel flustered on the inside, at least your outfit can seem calm, cool, and collected. We believe in the notion that a guy's favourite look on a girl is simply denim or leather and a t-shirt, so we suggest wearing a stylish version of that. Think outside the box here; for example, we love a cool, white, cap-sleeve t-shirt-maybe something semi-sheer, or with leather sleeves or studs-tucked into a high-waisted denim pencil skirt in a dark or medium wash. A shorter denim skirt would work as well, especially paired with an oversized men's button-up with the sleeves rolled and collar popped. We also like the idea of a pleated leather skirt or slim leather version with a sleeveless white blouse; it's a sweet and still approachable version of this classic Americana look. If you're a five-pocket girl at heart, consider swapping your tried-and-true jeans for a black leather pair that fits like a glove. Try something classic, skinny, or a biker-influenced style, or you can go faux-just save the less body-con options for another night. When it comes to your shoes, we think it's worth going for a pointy-toe stiletto of some sort. Try a bright colour, embellished heels, or even a pair with embroidered detailing for some unexpected flash. Finish your look with statement jewellery, whether that's a tassel, collar, or bib necklacebib necklace, or a stunning pair of earrings. The point is to add a personal detail that conveys your character and confidence!

This idea of a god fine tuning the universe makes no sense to me. Even if I granted earth being fine tuned for human life (ignoring all the evidence to the contrary), how does this account for things like volcanoes and weather on other planets that have absolutely nothing to do with humans?How do volcanoes on Mars assist human existence on earth?How does a hurricane on Saturn assist human existence on earth?Can someone help me with this?
To be fair, it's probably not too bad for a first attempt.Perhaps when he's all grown up he might have another go, a mk 2 universe.If he reads this thread then I'm sure he will appreciate people going to the trouble of pointing out areas for improvement.

Quote from: The Gawd on December 12, 2013, 12:12:23 AMThis idea of a god fine tuning the universe makes no sense to me. Even if I granted earth being fine tuned for human life (ignoring all the evidence to the contrary), how does this account for things like volcanoes and weather on other planets that have absolutely nothing to do with humans?How do volcanoes on Mars assist human existence on earth?How does a hurricane on Saturn assist human existence on earth?Can someone help me with this?This really is a question about the teleological proof of God's existence. The claim that the universe shows clear purpose and thus must be designed by an intelligence.As you have pointed out, even if we accept this argument, there are some baffeling design decisions (cancer anyone?) to contend with.However there is an interesting, if a little obscure, philosophical observation we can make here which might explain why for atheists like us this argument seems so obviously stupid, yet for theists so obviously true. I don't think it is because theists have never heard of cancer (or cliffs) but rather something deeper is going on.Let's start with the question: If purpose does not exist in nature, what on earth is purpose? Obviously it is a relationship between two things. We always find purpose in the following type of propositions A is for the purpose of B. eg The universe exists for the purpose of humanity, I traveled to the bank for the purpose of robbing it. Thus we should always talk of individual purposes existing; it is a nonsense to talk of purpose abstracted from things existing (just as the relationship of love can only exist between persons, it cannot exist in itself).Secondly all examples of purpose can be phrased as an answer to a why question. If I have a proposition that A is for the purpose of B then In answer to the question Why A? I can respond For the purpose of B. Both these observations (that purpose is a relation between objects, and are a response to why questions) is equally true of another work reason. I would contend that any proposition of the form A is for the purpose of B – can be re-written as A is a reason for B[1]. I would further contend that any why question answered by A is for the purpose of B is also satisfactorily answered (if somewhat differently) by A is a reason for B. It is important to note that if the latter is true then the former is also true – because for something to fulfil a purpose it must also be a reason.[2]What then is the difference between a purpose and a reason? As far as I can see it is that purpose implies intention and that requires a mind. So, to my mind, those who see the universe as 'fine tuned' by God are seeing exactly the same thing as we are. They are not blind, it is merely they assume the existence of a mind. Here's the rub: The assumption of the mind must come prior to the observation of purposes – if a mind is not assumed then we can talk equally coherently of the same things using the language of reasons.[3]Anyone who offers the 'argument from design' as a proof of God is a fool – they must have started with with the assumption of God for the 'proof' to have any sense!This is why the argument makes no sense to you or me, it is because we do not assume God at the outset. Similarly it is why to a Theist this argument does make obvious sense. 1. I do not wish to imply sufficiency in this relationship, only necessity 2. Interestingly this does not work the other way around, we can easily conceive of a reason which is not a purpose - the existence of ice is the reason I was late to work this morning at no level implies the existence of ice has the purpose of making me late for work this morning! 3. Put another way the talk of purpose as opposed to reasons does not acutally increase our ability to answer why questions.
^^^^Exactly. Clearly, god could have made the world differently (and much better) because he already has. At least twice. He made the Garden of Eden and he made heaven. So it is not true that Christians believe that god can only make things the way the earth is now. They are the same people who tell us that god can make things that are much, much better! Why we ended up with this craptastic mistake-filled earth is anyone's guess.
Someone needs to explain to me how he could fine tune the entire universe and not fine tune us. Then they will have to explain why not. If he made the earth perfect, he could have at least made us tolerable.

Titans owner Bud Adams is keeping Mike Munchak as his head coach for another year, but fired chief operating officer Mike Reinfeldt after the franchise's second 6-10 season in three years.
Munchak announced Adams' decision at his news conference Monday.
The Titans went from 9-7 in Munchak's debut season in 2011 to 6-10 this year after turning the offense over to Jake Locker, the No. 8 draft pick in 2011. They reeled off six losses by at least 21 points or more while giving up a franchise record 471 points — worst in the NFL.

There is a strange problem at the moment for a very mission critical machine (That is running Microsft SQL Server 2000 with service pack 3 and all the latest patches havebeen updated on the machine). The problem is that sqlserv.exe process is consuming upto 90% of the cpu resources. The operating system we are using is Microsoft Windows 2003 (all patches applied). I would appreciate if someone could list down the approach for tracing this problem to its roots.
According to my understanding and the approach I am following is:
1) Immidiate antiVirus Scan (Norton with all definitons updated), which showed nothing.
2) Process Explorer for each and every process description that is executing on my machine.
3) Spyware Scans which did fix nitti grittie sort of worms and spyware, but the problem remains there.
I was thinking of monitoring all the inbound and outbound traffic of that machine (MS SQL Server Machine) i.e. monitoring all the ports and the traffic on it. Can someone recommend a handy tool for this ??
The biggest problem with this machine is that it is connected to internet (only for the sakeo f patches). I am trying to convince my administration that the machine should refuse all connection from the outer world (or machine has no access to internet) and we can apply the patches manually or by means of our patch updation server.
Any ideas from the community towards troubleshooting the problem that consumes around 90% of the cpu resources?? I would appreciate if someone could recommend any tools or suggest anything else.

Architecture is defined as the process and product of planning, designing and constructing. Towers, tubes and open spaces. Concrete, glass, natural materials, light and shade. A series of lines and forms that shape our environments, that we interact with on a daily basis.
Ink drops, pencil marks. Plans, sketches, concepts and considerations are noted and developed. Projects fly off the page: homes, hospitals, schools and tower blocks rise from the flat plain of the notebook, breaking through the sheets and swinging open the cover. Skyscrapers and staircases erupt out of the little black rectangle. The walls, windows and elevator shafts that started with paper find their purpose in the great outdoors.

FOSS' Documentation Dilemma
Aug 11, 2014 4:33 PM PT
Hang around for any length of time in the seedy bars and watering holes of the Linux blogosphere, and you'll soon realize that certain topics tend to recur with surprising frequency in the general conversation.
The most obvious example, of course, is the Year of Linux on the Desktop -- a topic scientists have determined will surely outlive us all. Then, too, there's the Sexism in FOSS topic, which one can only hope will become moot in not too very long.
The latest example to rear its less-than-entirely-attractive head? That would be the FOSS Documentation Dilemma -- or, more precisely, the Lack of Good FOSS Documentation Debate.
'I'm Aghast'
It's been a few years since the Documentation Dilemma was featured prominently here in the Linux Blog Safari, but it seems safe to say that it's never too far below the surface.
Just last week, however, it reappeared in no less prominent a venue than Slashdot.
"What To Do About the Sorry State of FOSS Documentation?" is the title of the Ask Slashdot post that brought the topic to light once again, and the Linux-loving masses have been swarming ever since.
"I've been out of computers as a serious home-hobby for many years, and in returning, I'm aghast at the state of documentation for Open Source projects," wrote Slashdot poster TWX.
"The software itself has changed significantly in the last decade, but the documentation has failed to keep pace; most of what I'm finding applies to versions long since passed or were the exact same documents from when I dropped-out of hobbyist computing years ago," TWX said.
More than 400 comments later, Linux Girl finally reclaimed her favorite barstool down at the blogosphere's crowded Punchy Penguin Saloon. Tequila Tux cocktail in hand, she whipped out her Quick Quotes Quill and began taking notes.
'They Want to Just Write the Code'
"I think this represents a weakness in the Open Source model," suggested Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien.
"Most things that happen in Open Source do so because of someone 'scratching an itch,' and very rarely is that itch that documentation needs to be improved," O'Brien explained.
Good documentation requires "close cooperation between the developers and the writers, who have different skill sets and don't speak the same language," he pointed out. "And will the developers take time away from coding to spend time with writers? Often, they don't think they should. They want to just write the code, throw it over the wall, and let someone else deal with documenting it."
'FOSS Documentation Will Always Lag'
Indeed, "FOSS programming is fun -- it's rewarding," agreed Linux Rants blogger Mike Stone. "If you create something great, people recognize your name, your brilliance."
Documentation, on the other hand, "is none of that," he pointed out. "When you're doing a project for fun, it's hard to be motivated to do something that's not fun or rewarding."
As a result, "I think FOSS documentation will always lag behind FOSS software," Stone opined.
'A Good Place for the Linux Foundation'
"I think the only way it can improve is for some corporate entity to hire people to do it -- IBM or Red Hat or Canonical or someone similar," he suggested. "Hire a significantly sized group of people to do nothing but contact developers and develop documentation for the applications people use."
Otherwise, "I just don't see FOSS documentation keeping up with development -- ever," Stone concluded.
"This would be a very good place for the Linux Foundation to step in," offered consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack.
'Make Documentation Proprietary'
SoylentNews blogger hairyfeet took a more extreme approach.
"The answer is simple: 'Free as in beer' needs to die -- it's holding back FOSS," hairyfeet said. "You simply don't get quality work done by people who are only doing it on the weekends, and if you are doing a project on your own free time, what is the incentive to write docs? After all, YOU know how to use it!"
So, "the F in FOSS needs to go or be strictly 'free as in freedom,' with the distros taking the money they are paid for their product to hire everything from doc writers to bug testers," he advised.
"Since I'm sure many will balk at this, the only other answer that will get results is just as simple ... make documentation proprietary so that those that write the docs can profit from their endless hours of hard work," hairyfeet added.
'Google Is Your Friend'
It's true that documentation is "scarce in some places in the world of FLOSS," blogger Robert Pogson told Linux Girl.
"Distros like Debian GNU/Linux have a lot of 'man' pages, which helps get things going, and many configuration files contain comments," Pogson pointed out. "Fortunately for end users, GUIs are rather obvious, and many contain online help. The real geeks amongst us can look at the code..."
Sticking with "the most used and best applications," meanwhile, helps ensure that "there will be good documentation and help online," he added.
In reality, though, "most of us are too busy to read any documentation," Pogson asserted. "It just slows us down.
"For software, the application had better be self-documenting or work intuitively," he said. "Otherwise I would not use it. With a GUI and actual menus, one points and clicks and sees what happens. If there's something you want to happen but don't know how, Google is your friend."
In short, "while more and better documentation would be a good thing, it is not essential to the health of FLOSS or IT using FLOSS," Pogson concluded.
"If anything is really deficient, users or developers can rapidly fix that," he said. "Feedback from users is key -- users can get organized and create documentation or they can inspire developers to produce more. It's all good."

I am checking out a client's web address to ip. Can nslookup the web address and get the ip. However, when I do an nslookup to confirm the web address, DNS says it is non-existent.
What am I missing here?
I know the site it live, but does this sound like they are blocking ip-to-web address lookups (is that what is called as "reverse-DNS" lookup)?
Also - if that is blocked, is that a good security practice to do so? Sounds like it might, but not sure.

The adoption of flash-based storage in the data center has provided customers with revolutionary application performance improvements, based on the ability of flash devices to process I/O functions much faster than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). However, deploying flash devices as simply faster HDDs and using existing software infrastructure, misses a tremendous opportunity to improve application performance with new software interfaces. These interfaces take advantage of the byte-addressable, "memory-like" features of a flash storage device like SanDisk's Fusion ioMemory™ PCIe Application Accelerators.
Working with the Oracle MySQL™, Percona and MariaDB communities, SanDisk has created an optimized solution that focuses on solving specific performance problems in the database. This solution uses a new flash-aware file system called NVMFS (Non-Volatile Memory File System), which is uniquely capable of translating standard Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX)-compliant file interfaces into "flash-aware" calls to the underlying device. With NVMFS, open source databases like Oracle MySQL, Percona Server and MariaDB can become "flash-aware" and solve many daunting performance problems.
While the performance of open source databases has improved in many areas over many releases, there are two problem areas in MySQL that can significantly benefit from the use of these "flash-aware" interfaces:
Oracle MySQL, Percona Server and MariaDB write all table space data twice to ensure data integrity during system failure, which leads to twice the amount of actual data per write. This "double-write" problem exists for both spinning media and flash.
These databases have supported compression for a long time, but the implementations have been shown to perform poorly on flash. Generally, most customers do not run compression with production workloads on flash, due to severe latency and throughput penalties.
These problems can be addressed by using both SanDisk NVMFS and Fusion ioMemory PCIe devices with a combined approach of hardware and software that uniquely enhance these open source databases. This significantly improves I/O performance, provides consistently low latency, reduces latency variation, and enhances the life expectancy of flash devices.
The SanDisk NVMFS Atomic Writes feature solves the double-write problem. That results in a significantly increased life expectancy of devices at similar throughputs, while providing consistent and lower I/O latency. The Atomic Writes feature uses flash-aware interfaces to write an entire database commit in one operation.
Working with the MySQL community, SanDisk has helped to enhance compression in these databases to enable customers to get the benefit of compression with little performance impact. With this NVMFS compression, applications see up to a 50% increase in capacity1 while driving transactions per second at a rate within 10% of the uncompressed rate.
Combining Atomic Writes with NVMFS compression reduces write operations by close to 75%1, compared to running uncompressed and without atomic writes. This significantly enhances the life expectancy of flash devices and reduces latency.
About SanDisk NVMFS
NVMFS is a new POSIX-compliant file system designed and developed by SanDisk. It is designed from the ground up for the newest generation of flash and non-volatile memory devices, enabling them to overcome many of the suboptimal features of traditional file systems that were not designed for these technologies. It eliminates duplicate logic and leverages new primitives for optimal flash performance and efficiency.
NVMFS provides low latency I/O and high throughput, leveraging the full capabilities of the underlying flash block device. This makes it an ideal match for high performance database environments. Popular relational databases such as Oracle MySQL, MariaDB, and Percona Server can use the flash-aware interfaces exported by NVMFS (Atomic Writes, PTRIM, etc.) to bypass I/O inefficiencies in the database itself. This in turn achieves much greater throughput and much lower transaction latencies.
The modern database bottleneck is I/O latency – the time it takes to submit and complete one or more operations in parallel. Databases typically need to log small amounts of data quickly during transaction commits, making the time it takes to write data to a persistent state important. The low-latency architecture of NVMFS makes it a perfect fit for ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability)-compliant updates.

Qwest makes hay with speeds/DTV, but does it mean anything?
Denver-based Qwest announced Monday that it would offer Internet speeds of up to 40 megabits per second for downloads, double the top speed it had previously been able to offer. The NY Times tech blog gives a good overview on the announcement.
Today, Qwest announces a 5-year extension with DirecTV, its satellite-TV partner. The company has heavily promoted the partnership since 2005. It's a key component of the service bundle.
Two seemingly big announcements for Qwest, but what does it mean for the vast majority of its customers? Essentially nothing.
Most of Qwest's customers are still stuck with the slower DSL speeds. The people I know in metro Denver who have Qwest's Internet service (many switched from cable to cut costs), complain that it doesn't compare to cable's speeds, which for the most part stands at about 6 megabits per second. Qwest has previously touted higher speeds, but to new housing developments.
I live in Aurora, and when I checked this summer on Qwest DSL, the fastest speed I could get was 1.5 megs. The company pitched higher speeds on the website, but the options went away once I entered my address – an address in a major suburb in the company's hometown, nonetheless. So I stayed with Comcast. (Even though cable is faster, it is always sluggish during peak hours).
As for the DirecTV announcement, it's more of the same. Former Qwest CEO Dick Notebaert loved the relationship it gives Qwest recurring revenue without much, if any, overhead. The press release notes a couple of new features, but it's still DirecTV and it's still a third-party agreement.
Dow Jones has a piece on the announcement here.
Qwest releases earnings on July 29. It won't be surprising to hear management tout these announcements during the call as positives going forward. But it's still unclear where this company is headed, after reportedly unsuccessfully trying to sell its fiber-optic network this year.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City woman has sued Con Edison over the explosion that leveled two apartment buildings last week.
The New York Post (http://bit.ly/1dk2CgK ) reports that 46-year-old Michelle Nelson of Harlem filed the civil suit Monday, becoming the first to sue over the deadly blast.
Nelson's lawsuit says she sustained "severe and permanent injuries" when the explosion caused her to fall in her apartment more than a block away.
The lawsuit names Con Edison and the owner of 1646 Park Ave., one of the collapsed buildings.
It says they neglected their "duty to keep ... the premises in a safe, proper and secure manner."
Con Ed says it has not seen the lawsuit and could not comment. The owner of 1646 didn't immediately return calls seeking comment.

Kan. House Advances Abortion Conscience Bill
Measure Expected To Go To Senate Soon
Kan. House Advances Abortion Conscience Bill
Measure Expected To Go To Senate Soon
TOPEKA, Kan. —
A bill aimed at giving Kansas health care providers more legal protection if they want to avoid any involvement in abortions is moving toward House passage.
The House gave the bill first-round approval Wednesday on a voice vote. A final vote is set for Thursday, and the measure is expected to pass and go to the Senate.
Supporters brushed aside criticism that the bill is broad enough to let doctors and pharmacists refuse to provide birth control.
Kansas already has a law that says that no one can be forced to participate in an abortion or penalized for refusing. This year's measure says health care providers couldn't be required to refer patients for abortion care or to prescribe abortion-inducing drugs.

Salem company gets $1m for solar projectFrom STAFF REPORTS
November 16. 2012 9:40PM
SALEM - AmberWave Inc., a developer of advanced semiconductor materials, has received a $1 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy to speed solar energy innovation.
Through the department's SunShot Initiative, the award is part of a $10 million program aimed at reducing the total installed cost of solar energy systems.
AmberWave is helping to develop more efficient solar cells that use less silicon than traditional photovoltaic technologies.
The grant to AmberWave was one of several announced on Friday as part of the SunShot initiative.
"The projects announced today are helping to drive innovative solutions across the solar energy industry - from more efficient hardware to quicker, easier installation processes," said Energy Secretary Steven Chu. "These small businesses are poised to make rapid strides toward achieving cost-competitive solar energy by the end of the decade, creating new American jobs in a rapidly-growing global market."
The projects selected tackle a range of solutions, including advances in photovoltaics, energy storage, balance of system hardware and power electronics as well as streamlined interconnection.

Don't question
Just... enjoy.
I am not exactly sure WHY the Hoff was performing in London at G-A-Y the other night. I just know that this is a gift. And that sometimes you don't question gifts, you just accept them, enjoy them in your own personal way, and then resume facing the hardships of life.
Please also note that David Hasselhoff wears his pants better than Jessica Simpson's golddigging Kevin Federline Eric Johnson.

Is Light-Up Packaging a Brilliant Idea?
As if the fluorescent lights at megamarts weren't lovely enough, soon you'll see flashing lights while you shop. NXT, a new line of paraben-free men's grooming goods, isn't spending its money on a huge advertising budget. Instead, it's relying on innovative packaging to draw shoppers in. Each container has an LED light at its base, and the light illuminates the gel within. The New York Times explains:
Every 15 seconds, a light-emitting diode (LED) in the bottom of the container flares on, stays lighted for a few seconds, then fades out. . . . Each NXT light is powered by two or three AAA batteries, and a rolling switch turns off the contraption when it's upside down or sideways. The light will flash for about a year, so the product is shipped upside-down from its plant in China in boxes that say "This Side Up" in five languages.
From a marketing standpoint, it's pretty smart — who wouldn't pause in the shaving-cream aisle to investigate the flashing lights? And yet, I hope it doesn't kick off a trend; those blinking red coupon dispensers always annoy me at the grocery store, and the idea of an entire wall of flashing (or worse, musical) products makes me anxious. What do you think of this concept? Would you be more likely buy a product if it would light up your life? Or are you ready to hide away in Bella's Dark Bunker of Non-Illuminated Products if the trend gets bigger?

Man tells cops he 'collects quarters' after arrest for vending machine thefts
A man suspected of trying to break into vending machines at the Best Western motel, 100 Kings Highway Cutoff last week, was arrested Monday night when he once again returned to the scene.
Thomas G. Cody, 24, of Fern Street in Naugatuck, was caught by police when he tried to flee the motel in his vehicle around 11:30 p.m. Monday. In his possession, police said, Cody not only had $12.50 in quarters, but heroin, cocaine and burglary tools.
He told police he had all the loose change because he "collects quarters."
Police stopped Cody from fleeing the scene by blocking the parking lot exit with a patrol car.
According to the report on the incident, Cody matched the description of the suspect in two previous attempts to break into vending machines at the Best Western.
Last week, a housekeeper at the hotel discovered the first-floor vending machine damaged. When the manager saw the suspect at a vending machine on the second floor and confronted him Feb. 19, the suspect -- believed to be Cody -- he claimed he was trying to get back money that he had lost in the machine. He then fled.
The clerk also saw the man at the motel on Saturday and suspected he had broken into a vending machine then, as well.
Cody was charged with sixth-degree larceny, third-degree criminal mischief and burglary, possession of burglary tools, possession of narcotics, possession of narcotics with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia. Police said they found a glass crack pipe and folds of heroin and cocaine.
He was held on a $20,000 bond and is scheduled to appear March 4 in Bridgeport Superior Court.

With respect to cultured freshwater pearls, nature freshwater pearls of awesome quality are very tough to get or make. It is because everything depends on nature. Therefore, it might not be that tough to realize why freshwater,despite having imperfectness, are still more pricy that the best known cultured pearls.
The procedure of making natural freshwater is completely the same as the procedure of creating seawater pearls. First of all, a foreign object gets into the oyster or the mussel. It is really a heavenly experience for the small pebble. If the oyster is unable to take it out of his system, it starts feeling irritated. To lessen the irritation, it will commence the secretion process of the mother of pearl, which is the main ingredient of any pearl.
Pearl makers or divers will make a tiny opening in the oyster shells to insert a mantle tissue of other oysters. The insertion will make the freshwater oyster commence the process of producing the mother of pearl. Pearl manufacturers can assure the result or the quality of these products by controlling other aspects such as the oyster's health, water temperature, and so on.
Japan was the dominant country regarding the cultured pearl industry. After having success in their endeavors in working on saltwater mussel, they planned to undergo the same experiments on the freshwater mussels of Lake Biwa. Their endeavor was successful and also people were happy to find fresh colors, which they have never seen before regarding the pearls. Thereby, cultured freshwater found in Japan gained immense popularity and all the cultured freshwater were addressed as Biwas in the past no matter from wherever place they have been originally discovered. This led to the growing popularity of Freshwater Pearl Jewelry.
Sadly, pollution has caused substantial damage to pearl production in Biwa, and it was exactly this moment that a new dominant country also entered the scene, which is China. The country has ample amount of natural resources that Japan don't have. They have ample amount of open land, unlimited lakes, and various other water bodies, and unlimited manpower who are ready to work at even below the minimum amount of wages offered. This led to the huge amount of production of pearl strands which is highly popular among people.
Though the initial experiments of China regarding cultured freshwater pearl production were quite unsuccessful and didn't appealed to the masses, China soon became the master of the required methods to make that not only stand out the best pearl's quality manufactured in Japan but also were sold at inexpensive prices with respect to others. Most of the inexpensive pearl rings are made of Chinese pearls that people just love to wear.

Fatigue is a very common problem for people with cancer. Nine out of ten people with cancer(90%) may feel fatigued at some time. Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) may be due to the cancer itself or may be a result of symptoms caused by the cancer. It can also be a side effect of treatment.
Fatigue can be especially difficult to deal with when you're already trying to cope with cancer. You may feel very tired or exhausted all or most of the time. This can be frustrating and feel overwhelming at times. Many people find their fatigue is as distressing and disabling as the other side effects of cancer treatment.
Cancer-related fatigue is different from the tiredness and fatigue that someone without cancer may get. People with cancer may get tired much more quickly after less activity. When healthy people get fatigued, it's usually relieved by rest and sleep, whereas cancer-related fatigue isn't. The fatigue usually gets better after treatment finishes, but it may continue for many months, or sometimes years.
It's important to tell your doctors and nurses about your fatigue and how it makes you feel, without playing it down. There are ways they may be able to help. For example, treating the causes of fatigue, such as anaemia or sleeplessness.
There are also things you can do for yourself that may help you cope. Research tells us that one of the best things you can do to help manage your fatigue is to stay active.

Ferguson fundraisers: Cop nets more than Michael Brown's family
A fundraiser for the cop who shot and killed unarmed black teen Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., has earned some $50,000 more than a fundraiser for Brown's family in just half the time.
As of Friday morning, the Michael Brown Memorial fund had earned $154,594 from 5,658 people over eight days.
"I don't have much money to give. But this is gesture of solidarity. I know my money will never bring your son back but he is important. And there aren't many ways to show that in the world we live in," wrote $10 donor Caitlin Williams.
A fund called Support Officer Darren Wilson, however, earned $212,337 from 5,264 people in four days.
Many of the donations come from people who said they were police officers, former police officers, and police supporters and family members.
"NYPD has your back, brother. Hang in there," wrote $200 donor Patricia Scannell.
Despite the uneven donations on the two GoFundMe.com pages, a number of other Mike Brown-related fundraisers are also making money.
The Mike Brown College fund for the teen's three siblings had garnered $264,393 by Friday morning. More than 944 "Don't Shoot" T-shirts had been sold, with all the proceedings going to Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment to pay for protesters' bail, legal support and supplies.
And $156,267 had been donated to Feed The Students of Ferguson, a campaign or the St. Louis Area Foodbank aimed at supporting local kids who usually depend on school lunch programs.

PALMER, Alaska (AP) — A jury acquitted an Alaska woman who shot her husband six times as he slept, killing him, after she said the man held her against her will and tortured her for three days.
A Palmer jury on Tuesday found Lisa Donlon not guilty on all counts after several days of deliberations following a four-week trial, according to KTUU-TV (http://is.gd/PomdRg). Donlon was charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
She shot her husband, Jason Donlon, once in the head and five times in the back with a .45-caliber handgun while he slept Oct. 7, 2010. The mother of three called 911 to report the shooting.
The defense argued Jason Donlon had been raping and torturing his wife for three days. They say he was keeping her against her will in a cabin or storage shed in Butte, about 40 miles northeast of Anchorage.
Prosecutors argued the killing was non-confrontational, and they said that while medical records showed evidence of scrapes and bruises there was nothing to indicate Lisa Donlon had been tortured.
A grand jury initially declined to indict Donlon but reconsidered after prosecutors presented new evidence.
Her lawyer argued that she was a victim of domestic violence and the shooting was justified.
The Donlons married in South Carolina in 1995, and court papers show trouble in their marriage when they were living in Eagle River in 2006. That year she obtained a restraining order against her husband and doctors documented her injuries.
In a petition for the restraining order, she said he became enraged when she announced she wanted a divorce.
"He packed his things, told the kids 'bye,'" she wrote. "Twenty minutes later he came back with his two loaded guns. He was trying to force me to call the police because he wanted to be shot by police officers so it wouldn't look like a suicide."
She wrote that her husband had pointed a gun to her chest before, had thrown her out of the house with no clothes on — an event she said was witnessed by one of their sons. She also stated that her husband had choked her unconscious.
She said she didn't call police because she was scared.
"I have a feeling that he would use his guns easily, and I don't want to create any situation that would trigger that," she wrote.
Two days after she obtained the restraining order, Jason Donlon, who was a computer technician for the Alaska Army National Guard, filed for divorce, seeking custody of the children.
The couple soon reconciled and were living in a small building behind the home of his mother and stepfather.
Defense Attorney Zachary Renfro said that while Donlon was in jail she had weekly visits from her three sons. He said the next step is to work on a plan to reunite her with her children.

It's that time of year again where many of us are waiting for TBS to air A Christmas Story on repeat for an entire day. No matter what you believe or what you actually celebrate this time of year (or if you're a curmudgeon like me and yell at people in parking structures that walk to their car just to put something away while they're holiday shopping), Christmas movies, TV specials, and albums are largely comprised of an "old guard" dominated by Disney, network TV, and Mannheim Steamroller.
Especially in regards to comedy at this time of year, there's pretty much A Christmas Story, a bunch of traditional Christmas specials for kids, and, for some reason, Bad Santa. If you ask me, that's more of a Greek drama then a Christmas movie. Yes, the holiday season episodes of most sitcoms such as the Office and even Funny or Die's Drunk History Christmas are worth repeated views, but what are the comedies that we all forgot about mostly because A Christmas Story was starting again?
Consider the following 8 hilarious Christmas comedies as the presentation from the Ghost of Christmas Really Underrated and/or Unheard/Unseen Comedy:
1. One of the best Christmas specials ever is, without a doubt, Blackadder's Christmas Carol. One of the smartest and funniest British TV series ever, starring, oddly enough, the man who played Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson takes Charles Dickens' classic tale A Christmas Carol and completely flips the moral of the story in trying to rule the entire universe. Also, Robbie Coltrane plays a drunkard Christmas ghost.
2. Maria Bamford made her own homemade Christmas stand-up special. Yes, this is real, and it doesn't even cost $5 like Louis CK's Live From the Beacon Theatre.
3. Some of you have heard the legend and some of you know that it is not a legend whatsoever, but an all-too real catastrophe. Of course, I'm talking about The Star Wars Christmas Special that not only combines the two disparate story paradigms of Christmas and Star Wars, but also features Jefferson Starship. It's a "Best/Worst" type of Christmas for all.
4. Recently, comedian Tim Minchin was commissioned to write a song for The Jonathan Ross Show. After its taping and great reception, it was subsequently cut from the broadcast and only now uploaded to YouTube by Tim Minchin himself. The delightfully, absurd song was entitled "WoodyAllenJesus", which is hardly anywhere near as filthy or challenging as the South Park Christmas episode, which included satanic animal sacrifice.
5. If you've never seen an Ernst Lubitsch movie, now is certainly as good a time as ever to see a cinematic master work: the so-called "Lubitsch touch" in the holiday romantic comedy The Shop Around the Corner. Consider it the other Jimmy Stewart holiday movie that's a whole lot funnier.
6. In this 1968 video from the pre-Python TV series Do Not Adjust Your Set, traditional Christmas cards and images get the Terry Gilliam treatment. I don't think we need say any more than that.
7. Reggie Watts was apparently the spokesperson for Kwanzaa Juice on Conan.
8. Folks the world over are probably sick of hearing "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" or, if it is in a relative's possession, the Jimmy Buffett Christmas album, as it's supposed to be kind of funny. Luckily the hilarious players of Lost Moon Radio have come to save funny holiday music with their album, "It Had To Be Yule". With the fantastic mix of sketch and musical comedy that Lost Moon Radio is known for, it's a Christmas album that you'll likely play outside of December (or July for those happy-go-lucky Christmas in July people).
As the Ghost of Christmas Really-Underrated-and/or-Unheard/Unseen-Comedy, I hope that you'll enjoy putting up with your family more with this list and maybe not think of what I forgot because (spoiler alert) I'm actually not a ghost and therefore cannot travel back in time to watch and listen to every holiday themed comedy movie, TV special, album, comedy sketch, etc. ever. Just try and enjoy the holiday season for once.

There is still time to register for the upcoming Youth Aerospace Weekend, to be held Friday through Sunday at the Sun 'n Fun campus.
LAKELAND | There is still time to register for the upcoming Youth Aerospace Weekend, to be held Friday through Sunday at the Sun 'n Fun campus.
The camp will feature a visit from an astronaut, flights and a visit from "Swamp Girl," said Loria Bradner, executive director of education for Sun 'n Fun. "There will be lots and lots of fun," she said. "And it's only $30 to camp for the entire weekend."
The weekend is designed to introduce young people, ages 7 to 18, to the world of aviation, by way of an array of events and learning experiences. Scouts, church groups, home school clubs, families and other youth organizations are welcome to enjoy on-site camping.
Campers can also just show up each day and participate in the events, Bradner said. Onsite registration starts at noon Friday and programs start that evening. Student in the Polk School District are out of classes that day while teachers have a workday.
There will be a presentation from retired NASA astronaut Story Musgrave, a skill workshop that teaches students to make balsa gliders and fly a free-flight airplane powered by a rubber band.
A "First Flight" opportunity will be offered to campers who have never flown in a non-commercial aircraft.
Other items on the agenda include:
The chance for Scouts to earn badges
Evening movies
A "Reach for the Stars" rocket competition — participation costs an extra $20 and includes supplies
Astronomy classes, digital simulators, wind tunnels and weather machines
Archery stations to learn about the flight of an arrow
Computer-based flight simulators
Radio-controlled monster planes
Visits from numerous special guests, such as Janet Ivey of Janet's Planet
Sandy Bridges, director of communication and public relations, said enrollment is way down this year with about 700 signed up, compared with about 1,200 last year. She said it's hoped that more students will sign up. "There are some fabulous speakers coming."
For more information and registration, go to http:// sun-n-fun.org/EDUCATION/ EducationPrograms/Wings-n-Things.aspx
"We are really hoping to see a lot of families and groups come out," Bradner said. "A lot of them will be camping, which is fantastic."

Sport and Learning in Australian Culture (EDUH4058)
Understanding sport is central to understanding Australian culture and Australians' sense of who they are in the world. Sport, Learning and Australian Culture (EDUH4058) provides students with a socially critical perspective on the place, meaning and practice of sport in Australian culture.
Focused on the range of learning that takes place through youth's engagement in sport, the unit examines the practice of sport at levels ranging from elite international sport to grassroots, community-based and school sport. In striving to provide a meaningful educational experience, Sport, Learning and Australian Culture (EDUH4058) places students' firsthand experiences of Australian sporting culture at the centre of the program by including field trips to relevant sporting events in Sydney that range from Super 15 Rugby Union matches to a children's surf carnival.
The field trips are informed by socially critical examinations – lectures, readings and assessment – of sport in Australia. The course will provide understanding of a new cultural context for international students and it will also encourage a more socially critical view of sport in their own societies.

ICE is Arresting Parents as they drop-off their Children at Elementary SchoolPublished: Oct 18, 2012 9:45 am
Apparently smart immigration enforcement includes arresting parents as they drop-off their children at elementary school.
"This week, ICE agents approached two immigrant families while they were dropping off their children at Cesar Chavez Academy in Southwest Detroit. One father, Hector Orozco, was dropping off his son when he was arrested, and remains in detention.
Another family was stopped outside the Manuel Reyes Vistas Nuevas Head Start Center. The ICE agent temporarily let the family go so they could drop off their children, and told them they would be detained once they returned home. The family took refuge in the elementary school until advocates could intervene."
Julia Preston of the New York Times reports that a 7-year-old child in the vehicle at the time of one of the arrests became distraught, pleading in English: Please dont take my dad. We want to go to school.
This isn't the first time that Detroit ICE decided it was a brilliant idea to stalk parents of school children. The administration's response, predictably, was to issue a memo, that Detroit ICE immediately put in the circular file right next to the Morton Memo.
Here is the "policy" that is being ignored:
"This memorandum sets forth Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policy regarding certain enforcement actions by ICE officers and agents at or focused on sensitive locations. This policy is designed to ensure that these enforcement actions do not occur at nor are focused on sensitive locations such as schools and churches unless (a) exigent circumstances exist (b) other law enforcement actions have led officers to a sensitive location as described in the "Exceptions to the General Rule" section of this policy memorandum, or (c) prior approval is obtained. This policy supersedes all prior agency policy on this subject."
Quotas are quotas.
