Causes of Red Urine in Horses Reviewed
- Jan 12, 2012
- Topics:
Bloody urine can be caused by a variety of conditions, some as innocent as a bladder stone or a urinary tract infection while others include life-threatening cancers or tears in the lining of the urinary tract.

In veterinary school, students are taught that urine is the "golden elixir of life"; if urine isn't produced normally, the animal's health is in danger. So what happens if your horse's golden elixir suddenly turns blood red?
"Bloody urine can be caused by a variety of conditions, some as innocent as a bladder stone or a urinary tract infection while others include life-threatening cancers or tears in the lining of the urinary tract," explained Hal Schott II, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVIM, professor of equine medicine at Michigan State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, during his presentation at the 12th Congress of The World Equine Veterinary Association, held Nov. 2-6, 2011, in Hyderabad, India.
During his review presentation Schott highlighted three less common causes of bloody urine (called hematuria) in horses:
Exercise-associated hematuria is caused by the abdominal organs pounding the bladder against the pelvis during exercise. This trauma leads to ulceration of the inner lining of the bladder and is more likely to occur in horses that empty their bladder immediately before exercising or in horses that exercise for a long time (such as endurance horses).
"This diagnosis should only be made after other more common causes of hematuria have been ruled out, such as a bladder stone," advised Schott.
Urethral tears occur in stallions and geldings, Schott explained, and Quarter Horses or Quarter Horse crosses are believed to be more commonly affected than other breeds. Horses with tears void a normal volume and color of urine, but at the end of urination a series of urethral contractions occur that squirt out bright red urine. The blood results from a tear in the urethra (the tube that urine travels through from the bladder to the end of the penis) at a point called the ischial arch (a bony part of the pelvis).
"Because the ischial arch is relatively far from the tip of the penis, a tear in this region of the urethra can only be diagnosed via high-resolution videoendoscope," Schott said. "This condition is likely more common than we think because it is either frequently missed or misdiagnosed as a urinary tract infection and in many cases resolves on its own. If the condition persists for more than a month or if they develop anemia, however, surgery is needed."
Idiopathic renal hematuria is more distinct than the two aforementioned causes of bloody urine in that large clots of blood are frequently noted in the urine. In affected horses, the blood comes from one or both kidneys. In some cases blood from the kidneys can be caused by renal adenocarcinoma or abnormal blood vessel anatomy (e.g., arteriovenous fistula). Veterinarians refer to cases in which an underlying cause is never found as idiopathic. Both male and female horses can develop this condition, and Arabian or part-Arabian horses appear more commonly affected than other breeds.
"Treatment can include repeated blood transfusions and administration of drugs that promote blood clotting," suggested Schott. "In some horses with kidney cancer or an abnormal blood vessel, surgical removal of the kidney may be necessary.
"In contrast, surgical treatment of Arabian horses with idiopathic renal hematuria by removing the affected kidney is no longer recommended as affected horses may develop idiopathic renal hematuria in the remaining kidney after removing the first kidney," Schott noted.
A full summary of Schott's presentation will be available for free on the International Veterinary Information System.

Cambodian Mission Patient on Road to Recovery
Home » About Us » News » 2009 News » Cambodian Mission Patient on Road to Recovery
March 30, 2009
One week after undergoing extensive surgery at Kenmore Mercy Hospital to remove a bone cyst in her right leg that prevented her from walking, 14-year-old Makara Tuan is making an amazing recovery. Her therapists report she is already walking with only one crutch and will likely be liberated of that soon.
Her amazing journey began in the tiny village of Svay Rolom in Cambodia, a country with limited medical resources, where she was discovered by the medical missionary group, Operation Renewed Hope (OHR). Diagnosed with an Aneurysmal Bone Cyst, the bone in Makara's leg was so diseased she could break it simply by walking on it. OHR treated Makara at their free medical clinic; however, doctors determined that to prevent amputation of her leg, she needed extensive surgery and rehabilitation.
After several physicians declined to perform the surgery, Deborah Franco of Lockport heard of the young girl's plight and put ORH in touch with Dr. Andrew Cappuccino, an orthopedic surgeon at Kenmore Mercy. Thus began Makara's whirlwind journey across the globe to Buffalo, NY, made possible by RAPTIM Travel, which specializes in humanitarian and missionary airfare.
Franco's family is now hosting Makara as she continues her physical rehabilitation. "She has settled well here and is amazingly picking up English quickly," said Franco.
Makara underwent surgery on March 19, when Dr. Cappuccino and a team of doctors, nurses and technicians from Kenmore Mercy removed the cyst, resurfaced the effected area with bone grafting, and inserted a metal rod to support her leg.
Makara is currently in physical rehabilitation at the Williamsville Diagnostic Center – Partners In Rehab, a department of Kenmore Mercy at 400 International Drive in Williamsville.

Rodriguez: Record reflects hard work
Pudge is pleased by what games-caught mark signifies
To now hold the record for most games caught means so much to me. The record is a reflection of all the hard work I've put into my job, on and off the field, and I'm very happy to hold the record. It really is a lot of games.
I feel fortunate to have been able to play this long and to be mentioned along with great catchers like Bob Boone and Carlton Fisk, who is in the Hall of Fame. It's a tremendous honor.
It's hard to compare this individual record to the other individual awards and honors I've received in my career. I don't try to rank them; they're all great to have. I'm just pleased to have had the career I've had.
I've tried to stay healthy, and I've played hard. That is how I do it -- I give 100 percent all of the time.
When I first broke into the Majors as a 19-year-old in 1991, I always had it in my mind that I wanted to play this game for a long time. Thinking back to that time, it was again about wanting to stay healthy and wanting to play the game hard. Here we are, 18 years later, and I'm still playing everyday and doing my job. It's a great feeling to still be competing.
Right now I feel good physically. I know I have to work, and I know I have to take care of myself. I'm a guy who works every day. I'm up and working in the morning to help keep myself in good shape. In the offseason, I work even more to keep myself in good shape.
I've been doing that my whole career. That's why I can still play at such a high level. It comes down to the work you put in, and it comes down to work ethic. As long as I'm doing that, and as long as I'm feeling strong, that's all that matters.
In June, Astros catcher Ivan Rodriguez caught his 2,227th game to break Carlton Fisk's record for most games ever played at the position. A 13-time Gold Glove Award winner and a 14-time All Star, Rodriguez is just 327 hits short of becoming the first catcher to accumulate 3,000 career hits.

Indie Rock "Do They Know It's Christmas?" SuperCover Obviously Supercedes Original A Million Times Over
Remember Bob Geldof's 1984 superstar-stacked "Do They Know It's Christmas?" track released to benefit
Live Aid Ethiopia? Everyone was on it. U2, Queen, Phil Collins, Sting, etc. Well, the epic indie rock version is here. And it kicks the original's ass.
That said, I was two months old when the original came out. So maybe I can't relate, OLD PEOPLE. But I do know this: Fucked Up, the kid from Vampire Weekend, Andrew W.K., Bob Mould, Teagan and Sara, GZA, Yo La Tengo, David Cross, Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene, and TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone rock the everloving cocks off of every washed up octogenarian on the original. Except for the guys from Big Country.
For you OLD PEOPLE, I will quickly explain who these mostly YOUNG "HIPSTER" PEOPLE are very quickly:
Fucked Up: Epic loud fat hairy hipsters.
Vampire Weekend: Graceland-obsessed Columbia graduate/N+1 reading hipsters.
David Cross: Comedian hipster.
Yo La Tengo: Original hipsters.
Broken Social Scene: Canadian hipsters.
Bob Mould: Geriatric hipster.
Andrew W.K.: PartyBro rock hipster.
Teagan and Sara: Hot lesbian hipsters.
GZA: Wu-Tang Clan-member, rap deemed safe for consumption by hipsters.
TV On The Radio: Only the best band in the universe, DAD.
Observe. Turn the volume up LOUD because that's how it's supposed to be listened to and you'll need it EXTRA LOUD because your ears don't work anymore:
It's also to benefit three very good Canadian charities working to help victims of domestic violence and you can buy it here on your iTunes store, where people buy MP3s, which are like phonographs but are abstract and still play music. Crazy, huh gramps?
Here. Remember what it was like to feel hope, you sad, pathetic old fart:

The police ignored what I was saying and said yah sure we hear it all the time. I was thrown into 850 Bryant the local jail here in San Francisco.Read the whole tale of woe at Craigslist.
Jail is awful, it's a terrible place. The food is a smear of peanut butter on wax paper, with a couple of slices of bread, 2 packets of jelly, and a few small cookies. And a kindergardener size milk. I was starving the whole 4 days. I lost 10 pounds, and was severely depressed and was suicidal.
My cell mates was a person with 7 counts of terrorism, and 1 count of stalking, a dude who was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, a crack cocaine dealer, and a dude who took assaulted 7 black guys with a baseball bat, because he didn't like the color of their skin. These are not quality people, this experience was hell. My bail was $15, 000 dollars and my friend were not allowed to visit me.

Aboubacar Akoumba Diallo, L'Aurore
Boubacar Bah, Le Lynx-La Lance
Security guards attacked Diallo, publication director at the private weekly newspaper L'Aurore, and Bah, a reporter for the private newspaper group Le Lynx-La Lance (which publishes two weekly newspapers), in Touba, a town in northern Guinea. The reporters, who are based in the capital, Conakry, had gone to Touba to cover a visit by El Hadj Fodé Soumah, a leader of the ruling Unity and Progress Party (PUP), who is spearheading President Lansana Conté's reelection campaign.
During a rally for the president's supporters, which featured a Koran reading session for the president's health, guards confronted Diallo and Bah, punching and insulting them. The guards then confiscated and destroyed the journalists' notebooks, tape recorders, and a camera, the journalists told CPJ. Diallo and Bah often encounter the same security guards, who distrust them because they are members of the private media, which is known to be critical of the government, the journalists said.
Following a protest by a local journalists' organization, Fodé Soumah wrote a letter of apology to the journalists, Diallo and Bah said.

Jeune Afrique L'Intelligent
Authorities in Guinea banned the December 7 issue of the France-based weekly news magazine Jeune Afrique L'Intelligent by refusing the magazine authorization to distribute. When the run of the magazine arrived in the airport in the capital, Conakry, the magazine's local distributor sent one copy to the Interior Ministry to secure permission to distribute. According to local journalists, this is a procedure followed by all international publications that distribute in Guinea. However, the Ministry did not give the distributor permission.
Members of the magazine's staff in Paris told CPJ that the ban stemmed from an article titled "Witch-Hunt in the Army," which alleged that Guinean authorities had secretly arrested dozens of army officers on suspicion of planning a coup. The magazine asked whether this was really an attempt to pre-empt a coup, or a witch-hunt against influential personalities who "could be troublesome in the post-Conté era."
While President Lansana Conté is rumored to be seriously ill, he won reelection on December 21 with more than 95 percent of the vote. (The presidential election took place amid an opposition boycott and widespread allegations of voting fraud.) Local journalists told CPJ that the ban on Jeune Afrique was part of a larger government crackdown on dissent in the run-up to elections.
The following issue of Jeune Afrique was distributed in the country without incident.

Tigers wary of Langer factor in Shield
Outgoing Tasmanian coach Tim Coyle is wary of Western Australia lifting for their new mentor Justin Langer in the crucial Sheffield Shield match starting at Bellerive on Sunday.
Both sides are desperate for points and perhaps equally desperate to play for their coaches after Coyle announced the 2012-13 season would be his last and Langer in charge of his first Shield game with the Warriors.
Coyle has been the Tigers' most successful mentor in his eight seasons at the helm, a stint that yielded two Shield and two one-day titles.
WA great and former Test opener Langer had his first taste of life in the coaching box in last weekend's 14-run one-day loss to South Australia in Perth.
"I'm sure they're keen for some points, (they've got a) new coach, (they're) coming off a win in the last round (over SA)," Coyle told reporters at Bellerive on Saturday.
"They'll be a tough opponent.
"We'll need to be at our very best to beat Western Australia."
The third-placed Tigers will also need to notch their first home win after uncharacteristic consecutive home losses to the Redbacks and Queensland this month.
Fifth-placed WA managed their first win of the season in their last outing, a 110-run victory over SA at the WACA.
New vice-captain Mitchell Johnson will have a chance to again press for international honours on a Bellerive deck that has been a seamers paradise this season.
Coyle, though, expects a wicket that is less green than the one that helped the Bulls to their crushing win inside two days a fortnight ago.
"There doesn't seem to be as much grass on this one," he said.
"It's certainly had a long preparation so I think it will play a little bit differently."
Tasmania have omitted spinner Jason Krejza and paceman Sam Rainbird from the 14-man squad announced this week.
The Tigers have 10 points and WA eight, meaning both outright victory in their last game before the Big Bash League break to stay in touch with ladder leaders Queensland and Victoria (both 20).
Tasmania: George Bailey (capt), Aiden Blizzard, Jackson Bird, Luke Butterworth, Mark Cosgrove, Xavier Doherty, Alex Doolan, Ben Dunk, James Faulkner, Evan Gulbis, Tim Paine, Jon Wells (12th man TBA).
Western Australia: Adam Voges (capt), Michael Beer, Jason Behrendorff, Travis Birt, Hilton Cartwright, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Marcus Harris, Michael Hogan, Mitchell Johnson, Shaun Marsh, Marcus North, Tom Triffitt, Sam Whiteman (one to be omitted, 12th man TBA).

==B Gardening.3==
Our garden has finally picked up steam, now that the plants are getting a full day of sun. We are growing tomatoes, zucchini, collards, kale, rhubarb and 3 kinds of salad greens. We also have a strawberry plant that is producing berries prolifically. And, our grandson is eating them off the plant prolifically too! Except for the mint plant, my herbs are doing well also. The basil is growing well, even with my constant picking. This is the perfect time of year to serve your family a simple salad with basil, tomatoes and, if you have it, buffalo mozzarella cheese. Buffalo mozzarella is mozzarella made from the milk of the domestic water buffalo. Its dense consistency is richer than the same cheese made from cow's milk. Try your just-harvested basil in this classic summer recipe and you'll grow basil every year after.
==B Caprese Con Mozzarella Di Bufala <Buffalo Mozzarella with Tomatoes and Basil>(serves 4):==
1 lb tomatoes, ripe
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
12 fresh basil leaves
12 oz Buffalo Mozzarella, cut into very thin slices
Coarse salt and black pepper, freshly ground
1. Rinse, core and cut tomatoes into thin slices. In four medium-size salad dishes, alternate the cheese slices,
basil leaves and tomato slices, overlapping slightly.
2. Spoon the oil over each serving, letting it to form a pool like a sauce. Season with salt and pepper, cover and let stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Here's another simple yet delightful dish for summer, made with the Middle Eastern spice: harissa. Harissa is a Tunisian spice blend with vibrant, peppery flavor and bold, smoky heat. You can use it in lieu of cumin, coriander, chili powder or cayenne pepper or create a spicy rub for grilled meats and fish.
==B Harissa Shrimp (serves 2 ):==
Use 2 Tbsp pre-made harissa spice or make it using this recipe:
2 tsp ground cumin (see note on toasting and grinding spices)
½ tsp ground fennel
½ tsp ground caraway
½ tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ - 1 tsp sea or kosher salt, or to taste
5 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
Note: To toast whole spices, place them in a dry, heavy skillet. Stir a minute or two or until fragrant and transfer to a bowl. Grind with a mortar and pestle, or use a clean coffee grinder or electric spice mill.
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp lemon zest
1 pound large shrimp, peeled, leaving the tail section on, and deveined
1. Combine cumin, fennel, caraway, cayenne and salt in a bowl. Whisk in olive oil, lemon juice and garlic. Mix in the lemon juice and zest. Toss shrimp in harissa mixture and marinate 10-15 min.
2. Prep the grill if grilling the shrimp. Preheat broiler if not grilling shrimp. Place shrimp on the broiler pan or on the grill. Cook, turning once, until cooked through, ~3 min. each side. Discard marinade.
And to round off this easy meal of shrimp and salad, try making some homemade lemonade with fruit infusion:
==B Fresh-squeezed Lemonade with Frozen Fruit Cubes (serves 6):==
1 cup (6 lemons) fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 cup granulated sugar
4 cups water
In a large pitcher, combine the lemon juice and sugar; stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the water and blend well. Serve with Frozen Fruit Ice Cubes.
==B Frozen Fruit Cubes:==
2 c. prepared lemonade
Variation of fresh fruits to puree in blender (e.g. kiwi, berries, mangos, guava, limes, watermelon, cherries)
In a blender, add a single type of fresh fruit (use several tablespoons of the lemonade if needed to thin out for complete pureeing). Blend well, pureeing entirely or leaving just a touch of chunkiness if desired. Pour pureed fruit into ice cube trays. Freeze. Drop into glasses of fresh lemonade. Enjoy!

My girlfriend and I were talking about 'geek weddings' and she saw one a while back where the groom wore the First Contact dress uniform, Gandalf was the priest, their niece was dressed as Frodo the Ringbearer, the bride as an elf (she thinks), and there were Stormtroopers and other sci-fi costumes in it. I cannot for the life of me find the website where this was. Has anyone else heard of this?

After Back Surgery: Your Hospital Recovery
After surgery, you'll be moved to a recovery room, also called the PACU (post-anesthesia care unit). You'll stay there until you're fully awake. Then you'll be moved to your hospital room. The length of your stay depends on what type of surgery you had and how well you're healing. You'll probably get on your feet within 24 hours after surgery. A nurse or physical therapist will teach you how to brace yourself, turn, and get out of bed safely.
Right after surgery
When you wake up from surgery, you may feel groggy, thirsty, or cold. Your throat may be sore. For a few days, you may also have:
Tubes to drain the incision.
An IV to give you fluids and medication.
A catheter (tube) to drain your bladder.
Boots, compression devices, or special stockings on your legs to help prevent blood clots.
Varioius medications to control pain and prevent infection and blood clots.
Pain control
You will likely have discomfort after surgery. You may receive oral or intravenous pain medication. Or you may have a PCA (patient-controlled analgesia) pump. The pump lets you give yourself small amounts of pain medication. Some pain is normal, even with medication. But if you feel very uncomfortable, tell your nurse. Treating pain before it becomes severe often means that you will use less pain medication overall.
Getting up and moving
Soon after surgery, you'll be encouraged to get up and walk. This helps keep your blood and bowels moving. It also keeps fluid from building up in your lungs. To help you move, you may be given a brace to support your spine. You may also see a physical therapist. He or she will teach you ways to protect your spine while lying down, sitting, standing, or moving.
Supporting your spine
Abdominal muscles support the spine. Tightening these muscles to "brace" yourself helps prevent pain and reinjury.
Put your hands on the lower part of your stomach. Gently tighten your abdominal muscles by pulling in your stomach. Breathe normally without relaxing your abdomen.
You may be given a brace to keep your back stable. If so, you'll be shown how to wear it.

Worship should be the focus and source of our service
My dad, Bill Johnson, has always said to us,
"Everything we do in life and ministry should flow out of our worship to God."
True worship is a heart surrendered to God, and the overflow of that surrendered heart is a life of praise. I believe anything is possible in a room of worshippers. Healing often takes place in the atmosphere created by worship. His presence is that atmosphere. We don't worship to get miracles, though. He is the result and in Him is everything. He is the One we seek.
Praising God when you don't feel like it isn't fake praise. In fact, that's when it's sometimes the most real and honest. Those are the times when we go past our human emotions and make it loud and clear to the spirit realm that we are taking a step of faith and saying, "I believe!" God can't help but intervene in the life of a passionate worshiper.
As a kid, I learned about the power of praise and the authority we have as believers during a season when I was having nightmares. I remember lying awake sometimes all night long with my parents as we sang worship songs until the fear broke. I then fell asleep feeling tired but having the sense something powerful had just taken place.
Recently, my middle child has been having nightmares. I talked her through the process of responding to God's call to praise in the face of fear. My 6-year-old is now armed and ready to fight the same battle that I fought. I told her she can sleep in my room, but I want her to sing worship songs even if it wakes me up. The devil can't stand in a room when God's presence gets thick. It's that kind of manifested presence that we've seen increase over the last 16 years.
For me the elephant and the mouse analogy is the perfect picture of how God reacts to our praise. A mouse was sitting on an elephant's back when they walked across a bridge. The bridge shook. When they got to the other side, the mouse said, "We sure shook that bridge, didn't we?" This is exactly what happens when we praise. What may seem small and unimportant is the very thing God desires from us. He will shake that bridge or any mountain standing in our way as we obey the call to praise.
Worship is the lifeblood to revival. If you study different moves of God, you'll always find a group of worshippers singing their hearts out before God. I remember certain moments during worship times that felt like God put us on like a glove, turning us into radically bold people, sometimes acting outside of our own personalities. When His presence comes, the weak become strong, the timid become bold, the sick get healed and the broken get fixed.
Sometimes God gives us timely songs that help to usher in a new day or even a new way of thinking. They often come with a catchy melody that helps the lyrics to be remembered. The impact of these songs is often much more than the spoken word alone. Great worship songs leave a residue of God in the room well past the ending of the last chord. In that atmosphere it's normal for people to hunger for more.
I've had conversations recently with several songwriters who have written some of the most powerful songs sung around the world. Each song was birthed out of a special season with God either in their church or personal lives. In other words, these songs are an overflow of something God did in their lives that was put to music. As such, they become the catalyst that starts the fire of revival elsewhere. Capturing these moments and putting them to music are highest
priority for me.
Everything that we do either fuels spiritual revival or is fueled by revival. We are learning to live as a living offering unto Him.

"This win could not have been much bigger. We put ourselves into a hole losing to Jacobs earlier in the year and did not have room for a down game."
"[Jacobs also has assembled a great editorial staff to drive towards the goal of becoming the predominant poker magazine.] We will give poker-playing readers the news, interviews, and features they want, ... Our Editor-in-Chief Lou Krieger, himself a poker pro, is the author of a number of books on the subject of poker. And our Managing Editor Cynthia MacGregor, who has authored 50 books, brings over 20 years of magazine editing experience to her work on PokerPro. Between these two, we feel we have the editorial staff to take PokerPro to prominence in the poker magazine community."
"They said they didn't see the handgun. When Jacobs came in, it was dark and they went to the back bedroom."
"... When they talk about Bowling Green and Omar Jacobs, it comes with the territory. I just have to deal with it."
"It's tough for guys like Jacob Cruz and Brian Buchanan. Quinton McCracken has missed a lot of time and needs some at-bats, so Chris may be with us for a few days or a whole season."
"It's no secret that we have a strong defense. Biddle (senior Jacob) was a force on the field tonight and the entire team fed off of the defenses energy."
"Jake Jacobs has been thoroughly involved in executing Spyder's business strategy, and has been integral to the company's success. He's a leading expert on fabric technology, and has incredible industry knowledge and experience. His soul is the brand. It just so happens that he's also my son."

Fandango has interviews from Comic Con with KStew (who seems alot more chill without Rob next to her and everyone analysing their every move) and Taylor as well as Ashley and Chris Weitz, who gives some more details on the soundtrack.
Apparently he's "begging the Kings of Leon" to be involved - I'm voting for their song "Closer" which is beyond perfect for New Moon - check these lyrics:
Stoplights are swaying and the phone lines are down
This floor is crackling cold
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun
Driven by the strangled vein
Showing no mercy I do it again
Open up your eye
You keep on crying, baby
I'll bleed you dry
The skies are blinking at me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
You, shimmy shook my bone
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own
What do you think of me
Where am I now? Baby where do I sleep
Feel so good but I'm old,
2000 years of chasing taking its toll
And it's coming closer"
...or my favourite choice from Band of Skulls "Cold Flame" which just has the feel of being alone and dreaming of the one you want. Let me know what you think :)

The Fire head east to Philly on Saturday night to take on the Union in a critical Eastern Conference clash (LIVE 6:30pm CT on My50). After earning a credible come-from-behind draw in Houston last weekend, the Men in Red will be confident of picking up all three points (and extracting some revenge) at PPL Park.
Here are some things to keep an eye on from a tactical perspective.
Isolating Jeff Parke – getting behind and in 1v1 situations with the Union defender
Similar to the Fire, individual errors have cost the Union in recent matches and veteran defender Jeff Parke has been the weak link in the Union defense over the past few MLS games.
Though excellent in the air, his positioning errors or slack marking led to numerous chances created for the opposing team. In both matches against Chivas and Houston, Parke was either forced or strayed out of position, leaving room behind him to be exploited.
READ: Duka, Alex look healthy for Philadelphia clash
With the ability of Magee and Rolfe to drop into deeper positions to pick up the ball and thus drag defenders like Parke out of position, the other Fire players must recognize these opportunities when they arise and try and take advantage of them.
Staying with the runners – trying to limit giving up preventable goals
In soccer, there is a major difference between giving up a 30 yard screamer and giving up a tap in because a defender decided to switch off and not follow his runner.
WATCH: Athletico Coaching Corner
All too often for the Fire this season giving up easy goals and frequently going a goal behind has been the teams M.O. Fire center back Bakary Soumare has made more than one costly error over the past month, most recently on the Dynamo goal last weekend and the center-back will be looking for a solid performance against his old club on Saturday.
With that being said, the defense as a whole has been guilty of individual errors which has meant that the team's last clean sheet in league play was nine games ago, twelve if you count all matches. As I have mentioned in previous previews, a clean sheet, especially in an away game, would be a major positive for the Fire.
Against a team with such attacking threats as Philly, a clean sheet would also give the back line confidence heading into the biggest game of the season to date, the U.S. Open Cup Semifinal against D.C. on Wednesday (TICKETS).
Taking advantage of the diamond system – pressuring Philly in their defensive third
The Union usually use a system similar in some ways to the Fire, deploying only one recognized defensive midfielder. In Philly's case this is stalwart Brian Carroll.
Carroll plays in the "Makelele role," sitting in front of the back four, breaking up attacks and rarely venturing into the opposing team's attacking third. In this system, the assumption is that Carroll will not give up possession or be ahead of the ball in his defensive third.
READ: Mike Magee is the cover boy in the latest edition of MLS Overlap
One way to counter this system is to pressure Carroll and the Philly defenders when they have the ball and try and force turnovers in their defensive third.
We all saw how effective this tactic can be on the Fire's goal last weekend. Patrick Nyarko stole the ball from a Dynamo defender before bursting into the box and crossing to Mike Magee for a tap in finish. A similar turnover on Saturday night could lead to the winning goal for the Fire.
Prediction: 2-0 Fire with goals from Magee and Alex.

The Breakfast Briefing
Add Goldman Sachs to the list of Wall Street heavy hitters warning about the perils looming in the bond market.
With interest rates so low and bond prices so high, some investors warn that there is little room left for gains. Late last week Goldman joined that parade, suggesting investors searching for yield could get better return in stocks than many fixed-income opportunities.
And if interest and inflation rates start reverting back toward their historical averages, Goldman strategists predict "estimated losses in portfolios with bond durations of five years of 25% or more."
That projection comes as Treasurys have gotten off to a tough start to 2013. The benchmark 10-year yield rose for a third-straight day on Friday, pushing it to 1.915%, from 1.759% at the end of 2012. Bond yields rise when prices fall.
The latest move is similar to how Treasurys sold off in the first quarter of each of the past three years. In each instance, however, yields pulled back as renewed concerns about the global economy pushed investors back into safe-haven assets, such as Treasurys.
While a similar situation could repeat itself, Goldman makes the case that investors searching for yield should favor dividend-paying stocks in the current investing environment. The 2.2% yield for the S&P 500 is still outpacing that of a 10-year Treasury note.
"We reiterate our conviction that equities can be an attractive source of income, both on an absolute basis and relative to credit," Goldman says.
As WSJ reported last month, some of the largest investing houses — including BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, and Federated Investment Management Co. — are looking for ways to reduce their exposure in the bond market, particularly in U.S. corporate bonds. Some money managers have already been shifting money into stocks and convertible bonds.
With 2013 underway, many investors are also wondering whether the great shift in mutual fund flows from bonds — a traditionally lower yielding but safer investment – to stocks will finally take place. Investors have been pouring money into bond funds ever since the financial crisis, while simultaneously yanking cash out of stock funds.
Goldman's call comes as stocks have kicked off the new year in rally mode. The S&P 500 closed at a five-year high, as investors expressed relief a deal in Washington was reached to avert the fiscal cliff.
To be sure, some analysts caution against reading too much into last week's moves in both stock and bond markets. More contentious debates in the nation's capital are expected over spending cuts and the debt ceiling. "We believe the market has overreacted," says Barclays analyst Ajay Rajadhyaksha. "The U.S. fiscal deal has accomplished the bare minimum by deferring much of the uncertainty for a few months, but not eliminating it."
With regards to Treasurys: "We expect the selloff to be reversed," he says.
Even so, the risk against owning Treasurys is that the selloff lasts this time because U.S. growth accelerates later this year. As WSJ's Cynthia Lin reports, a Dow Jones survey of big banks in December showed dealers expect the 10-year yield to rise to 2.25% by year's end.
"In an environment characterized by low interest rates, flat/decelerating top-line growth, peaking operating margins and investors that continue to search for yield, companies that return cash to shareholders in the form of dividends or accretive buybacks should outperform, in our view," Goldman says.

Cardinals pessimistic on Glaus' status
Slugger to be re-evaluated on either Monday or Tuesday
By Matthew Leach / MLB.com
The injured Cardinals third baseman has been rehabilitating in Arizona since early April, trying to recuperate from offseason right shoulder surgery. An initial expectation of an early-May return for Glaus has long since been discarded, and now even the All-Star break might be difficult to project. The Cardinals have made do with Brian Barden and Joe Thurston at third base, but production at the position has dropped precipitously since the beginning of the month.
Thus, the return of Glaus would be a huge boost. He was not only an impact bat in 2008 but a candidate for a Gold Glove at third base. But there's little optimism regarding such an occurrence.
"I don't know the answer yet, but my feeling is that it's probably less than 50-50 he's going to play," general manager John Mozeliak said on Tuesday.
The Cardinals won't really know for sure until after an evaluation and discussion, which is tentatively scheduled for Monday or Tuesday of next week, following the team's current road trip. But it would be something of a surprise if that conversation yielded a pleasant surprise.
"If things were really getting better or improving to where he'll be able to do baseball activities, it just seems like we'd be getting more feedback," Mozeliak said. "And I'm not hearing that."
If the pessimism is confirmed next week, the Cardinals may grow more aggressive in their attempts to upgrade their offense, be it at third base or elsewhere.
"We're going to begin the process of looking at everything," Mozeliak said. "I really don't feel we can pull the trigger until we have confirmation that either he's cleared for baseball activities and he'll be able to do something, or we have to be patient. But I don't think it's a situation I want to wait another four weeks or eight weeks."

Ranked #19 by Cigar Aficionado, Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary cigars are made in Nicaragua, something new for him. Patel owns part of this cigar factory, which operates much like a fabrica in Little Havana or Cuba proper, making cigars with two binder leaves and finishing the heads with triple-seam caps. They are delicious smokes, none finer than the Toro, which is nutty and rich, with lots of hickory flavor on the palate. Said to be the Decade on steroids, the cigar has spicy pepper finish with the combination of earth, espresso and sweet chocolate.

" Brand: Anna Sui / Type: Fragrance / Concentration: Eau de Toilette / Gender: for women "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Long before I received this for Christmas last year it had been sat waiting patiently and tempting me to spend the £24.32 but I held out knowing that Christmas was a few months away and a family member would willingly buy me this perfume.
Sure enough on Christmas morning I unwrapped a holographic type pink/purple box in a cellophane wrapper. On the box was a brief product description and a silver holgram in the middle with 'Anna Sui' written in it. The box is very fun and girly and would have definitely caught my eye if i'd have spotted it on the shelves.
The bottle itself is triangular and made from glass. The glass is slightly tinted to a light pinky rosy colour which adds to the girly, fairytale theme running alongside this perfume. The lid to the bottle is probably the most eyecatching, it's almost like a fairy is sat on a crystal ball. The detail is very intricate and delicate and again, really fits in with the fairy tale theme.
The scent is described as melon, Bergamot, Lemon, Orange Blossom, Tuberose and Jasmine which sounds like a mish-mash of scents but they really compliment each other. The scent is again very fresh, floral and girly which I find really pleasant and refreshing.
I have found that the scent is long lasting throughout the day and is still as strong as when I first applied it in the morning. The fact that the perfume is long lasting is very beneficial as it means I don't have to reapply it all day which can be a nuisace.
I have now has this perfume for just over 6 months and still have 3/4 of the bottle remaining which is great as it is a fab fragrance!
The price is £24.32 on Amazon for a 30ml bottle but if you shop around I assume you can get this cheaper. Overall, i would definitely recommend this product. I think a lot of people, whatever their age, would enjoy the mix of scents and the long lasting effects of Anna Sui's Secret Wish Magic Romance.
I have a bit of a thing for different fragrances and the bottles they come in. My daughter is well aware of this as she has bought me many lovely scents and she's given me endless perfumes that she no longer likes or wears. A couple of Christmas' ago, she really surprised me, she had managed to find me a fragrance that, not only did I like but I fell in love with the bottle, you see I have this passion for collecting fairies, I have quite a collection, and this particular bottle has a fairy sat on top, on the lid.
Secret Wish Magic Romance
This fragrance is pink to look at and it has a very fruity, floral scent, mixing the delightful scents of lemon, melon, orange blossom, jasmine, lotus blossom, coconut and amber. With a hint of musk making this fragrance irresistibly sensual.
The bottle is a transparent glass, in a triangular shape, the three flat sides of the bottle are decorated either side with a flower pattern etched into the glass. At the top of the bottle sits the beautiful sparkly, silvery colored fairy, on a dome, made so it's easily pulled off to reveal the pump spray underneath, made from plastic, this fairy finishes off this bottle of scent beautifully.
The box this scent is presented in, is equally beautiful, pink with lots of glittery, swirly silver patterns all over it, with a fairy sat on top of the perfumes name.
A 30 ml bottle of Secret Wish Magic Romance eau de toilette currently costs around £19.00 from Amazon.
This fragrance was originally blue in color and it was simply called Secret Wish, they created a similar fragrance in 2006 and called it Secret Wish Magic Romance and changed the color to pink. They called it the new version of Secret Wish, making this perfume much sweeter, and focusing on the younger female generation.
My Opinion
Personally I feel this scent would be better suited to a young women or teenage girl, I think they got it right, in hitting their target consumers with this fragrance, as it is very light and easy to wear during the day. I like the scent and have worn it on and off in the daytime. My main attraction to this perfume has to be the bottle, I'm sure that was the reason my daughter bought it for me. It is a very girly girl perfume and I don't know if I would have bought it for myself, however the bottle may have swayed my decision.
I could imagine younger women enjoying this soft and light fragrance, in my opinion it would work best with them, as it is, in no way over powering.
For me, I feel the scent wears away far to quickly, to get the full benefit of this perfume I had to keep spraying it on, which I don't really like to do. I wore it daily for a while, but felt I was using far to much of it at one time. So personally this fragrance is not really for me, although it's scent is very pleasant, I don't think I'll be buying it again. Besides I have the bottle, with the fairy on top now and that's enough for me, for this particular fragrance anyway.
I'm giving this fragrance 3 stars because it's plesent enough, it just wear away to quickly.
Thanks for reading my review which may also appear on Ciao
I have a 30ml bottle of this product whicxh also came supplied with a equally as gorgeous, rich and scented fabulous body moisturiser to complement and also layer up the scent for maximum punch.
The box for the perfume is beautiful and a pink and silver logoed number, ot looks fantastic and so very girly. The bottle was an absolute dream., I loved the shape of a soft triangle with a frosted fairy topper, right up my street, I absolutely loved it the moment I set eyes on it!!
Top notes: Bergamot, Sicilian lemon and melon.
Heart notes: Orange blossom, tuberose, jasmine and lotus blossom.
Base notes: Rosewood, coconut and amber.
I found the initial burst of top notes to be lovely and sparkling, sweet and tender, it is so so fresh and sweet, the lemon and melon working very well together with the slightly detectable bergamot. After it settled down the florals smell was absolutely delightful, refreshing, crisp and completely delicious, yet very calming. It is pretty and romantic, not too light on the skin and quite a long lasting smell. The jasmine in particular sticks out for me when I am wearing this, as it is also one of my favourite florals.
The base notes are again delicious, and very warming, I particularly like coconut and when with amber it smells sublime and stays on the skin for hours to come.
When used with the body lotion it does work creating a base for the perfume to adhere to, if you have got time it is worth doing as the body lotion is just divine as well.
The perume was launched in 2006 and top be honest I have not really seen it available to buy in the shops but then again I've not been looking as I still have some of the perfume left!! It is however widely available on the internet if searched for to buy.
It would make a beautiful gift for a younger woman as it is a very girly sweet and pink type of scent. The packaging and presentation as beautiful, it is not overly expensive, and is a luscious, evocative and romantic fragrance.
As soon as I saw the pink packaging I knew I wanted it. It's a very girly box, even the bottle is very girly, with the little fairy on the top. This is ideal for most girls who dream of being a princess. It gives you a nice feeling by just looking at it. I'd never heard of it before as I don't think it's a well known perfume (even though it should be!)
It has quite a sweet smell, but it's very unique as I've never smelt any perfume like it before. It's quite strong too which is good as you don't have to use a lot of it but even though you don't need a lot of it to smell beautiful, I still don't think it lasts very long. This would differ on your personal usage, and of course the size of the bottle you purchase.
In my opinion it's a perfume for any use. It's good for everyday use, but also for going out.
I think the smell is suited for the younger generation and I would definitely recommend it. I had this perfume as a present from my fiancee for Christmas, and it is ideal for a present for any time of the year.
I honestly think that this perfume deserves a 5/5.
Anna Sui Secret Wish- Magic Romance
The box itself is pink, so girls, you need to get your hands on it! With a fairy and heart style on the font, i know this perfume is available in 30ml, but i am not sure what other sizes it comes in.
The Price...

Anna Sui ~ Secret Wish Magic Romance ~ Eau De Toilette
I really like the Anna Sui perfumes because they have very unusual scents. I also really like the creative and decorative bottles which the perfumes are supplied in. I have 8 different Anna Sui fragrances in my perfume collection but my favourite one has to be Sui Love mainly because I love the look of the butterfly bottle. I treated my self to a 30 ml bottle of Secret Wish Magic Romance a few months ago; you can also buy Secret Wish Magic Romance beauty products to compliment and layer the scent. The 30 ml bottle of Secret Wish Magic Romance Eau De Toilette cost me £18 from Debenhams.
As you can see from the picture at the top of this review, the bottle of perfume has a lovely curvy shape to it. The lid of the bottle has got to be the most decorative and creative aspect of the perfume bottle because it has what looks like a small fairy or Angel sitting on top of it. The fairy lid combined with the gorgeous candy floss colour of the perfume liquid gives the whole design of the perfume bottle a very feminine and girly appearance.
The Scent
As soon as I sprayed the scent onto my wrist I could immediately smell the sweet fruity aroma of Melons and Lemons. The Lemon and Melon fragrance notes weren't overpowering or too fruity they had more of a light summery refreshing aroma. Usually I'm not too keen on fruity scents because if find them to be too heavy and sickly sweet, but this wasn't the case with Secret Wish Magic Romance. The fruitiness of this perfume was really refreshing and subtle. The initial fruity top notes of Lemon and Melon seemed to last for quite a while before the middle notes of the scent became more visible. .
After approximately an hour the Melon and Lemon scent had faded quite a lot and were barely identifiable. The scent began to smell more floral after the Lemon and Melon had faded. The fragrance had a slight fruity scent but it was mostly masked with a sweet floral aroma which gave the scent more depth. The floral notes which I could detect were that of Jasmine and Tuberose. Most of the Anna Sui fragrances contain a Jasmine middle note, but the Jasmine notes in the Anna Sui Perfumes are really subtle and light. Sometimes Jasmine can be a rather heavy and overpowering scent if there is too much of it used in a perfume, but in this instance there is just a subtle hint of jasmine which gives the whole scent a much richer aroma without making it smell too floral and heavy.
The Jasmine and Tuberose aroma seemed to last for approximately 3 hours before they started to blend with the base notes and the whole fragrance took on a sweeter lighter floral aroma. The sweet note which I could smell was the creamy sweetness of coconuts and amber. I think that the coconut and amber work perfectly together because they compliment the fruity floral top and middle notes perfectly, without making the scent too heavy overpowering or cloying.
Fragrance Notes
Secret Wish Magic Romance is described as having ~
Top Notes of Bergamot, Sicilian Lemon and Melon.
The top notes are the first phase of the perfume; they are usually the most volatile and evaporate from the skin very quickly. The top notes are usually very light and refreshing and their scent usually lasts for anything between five and ninety minutes.
Middle or Heart notes of Orange Blossom, Tuberose, Jasmine and Lotus Blossom.
The middle notes of a scent are therapeutic and balancing oils, sometimes the middle notes are often referred to as the heart notes of a scent. The middle notes are not always evident and can take between thirty and sixty minutes to develop on your skin, and they last for anything between two to four hours.
Base Notes of Rosewood, Coconut, Amber
The base notes are the longest lasting notes in a fragrance, most perfumes use the same base notes. This is because they give the perfume more staying power and stop the top and middle notes from evaporating from your skin as quickly.
Staying Power
Secret Wish Magic Romance has good staying power considering it is an Eau De Toilette fragrance. Usually Eau De Toilette fragrances only last for about 4 hours on your skin because they're more dilute than Eau De Parfum.
I found that Secret Wish Magic Romance lased for about 5 hours on my skin before I needed to reapply it. I think that the scent only lasts for a few hours on my skin because the fragrance notes are really light and airy. If the fragrance notes were heavier then the scent would probably have lasted a few hours more but then again this would have ruined the perfume and made it too heavy and floral. The blends of the fragrance notes are perfect because the fruitiness is complimented with subtle floral notes and then the floral fruitiness is complimented with light and delicate sweet notes. I think that the scent is really unusual because it has a wide a range of different fragrance notes.
Perfume Information
All perfumes smell slightly different on different people, and this is due to us having different oils in our skin. The staying power of a scent also differs from person to person because we have different types of skin oils too. I said in the review that this perfume lasts for about three or four hours on me, but it could last a longer or shorter amount of time on you.
If you like the sound of this perfume then I advise that you go into your local perfume store and test it before you buy it. When testing the scent spray it onto your wrist and wear it for a few hours before you decide whether you like it or not, because the scent changes the longer you wear it due to the different notes which make up the fragrance.
When testing a perfume don't smell the scent on a perfume card because it might smell lovely on the card and when you buy it and wear it at home it might smell totally different and you might not like the scent you are wearing. I made this mistake a few times in the past and wasted £30 on a fragrance which I didn't wear again and put in the bin.
Secret Wish Magic Romance is a 30ml Eau De Toilette perfume which means that it contains between 4-10% perfume oils. An Eau De Toilette perfume is most commonly bought because it is cheaper than an Eau De Parfum, an eau de toilette scent usually lasts for about 3-4 hours on your skin although some others do last a lot longer it just depends on the different oils in your skin.
Price And Availability
I got this perfume from Debenhams and paid £18 for a 30ml bottle of it, I have also seen the perfume for sale in Boots as well. You can also buy the perfume from online retailers, I usually find that some online retailers offer perfumes at a discounted rate compared to larger department stores.
FragranceDirect.com is currently selling a 75ml bottle of Secret Wish Magic Romance perfume for £17.50. Usually a 75ml bottle of the fragrance retails for £39 in most department stores and online retailers.
My Opinion
I really like the scent of Secret Wish Magic Romance. I think it is a mysterious and full bodied scent because of all the different notes in the scent. The best way to describe the scent is by saying that it is a fruity floral sweet fragrance and is really light and airy. I think that this perfume is most suited to those who like delicate fruity scents.
Secret Wish Magic Romance is probably best worn as a casual scent because of its light and delicate aroma. I think that the scent is perfect to use as a summery scent or to take with you on holiday to use as your casual perfume. I will definitely buy another bottle of this perfume when I run out, but I think ill be buying it online because I can get a bigger bottle for the same price as a small bottle.

TOKYO—The operator of the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex said over the weekend that its struggles to control highly radioactive water had suffered new setbacks.
The company announced the discovery of contaminated spots in new parts of the compound where the water is stored, while radiation levels jumped to highly dangerous levels in another part of that area where readings were previously lower.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Monday signed into law a bill recognizing the contributions of slain former San Francisco supervisor and gay rights leader Harvey Milk and designating a day in his honor.
The bill marks May 22 as Harvey Milk Day statewide and encourages schools to conduct commemorative exercises in Milk's honor. Milk, who was assassinated along with Mayor George Moscone in November 1978 by Supervisor Dan White, was San Francisco's first openly gay supervisor.
He helped defeat a proposition known as the Briggs Initiative, which would have banned gays and lesbians from teaching in public schools.
Schwarzenegger had vetoed a similar bill last year, saying Milk should be honored on a local level, not statewide. The governor did not offer a statement today on why he signed the bill this year.
There's also another bright spot in legislation for gay men and women coming from the desk of Schwarzenegger. He signed a bill recognizing same-sex marriages performed in other states.
But the legislation does not mean California will recognize gay couples as married, however.
The bill, introduced by Democratic Sen. Merk Leno from San Francisco, requires California to recognize all same-sex marriages performed in states where gay marriage is legal but does not refer to the unions as "marriages." The couples will have all the same legal rights as couples registered as domestic partners with the state -- a status which falls far short of a fully recognized marriage, because of the strictures of the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
The signings come a day after gay rights activists took to the streets across the country demanding President Barack Obama keep campaign promise to overturn the Clinton-era "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy of gays in the military.

Beyond the macro jockies: Salesforce lures devs with Java juggle
Serious enough in an Amazon world?
Posted in Business, 3rd May 2012 10:02 GMT
Salesforce is growing: just not enough or in the right direction, it seems. The company that started life serving up customer relationship management (CRM) as a service to the suits is now reaching out to real coders.
The company, which claims more than 50,000 customers, saw subscriptions to its hosted apps increase by nearly 40 per cent for its most recent fiscal year.
But, while revenues have grown, so have losses: from a $97m profit in 2011 to $35m loss reported at the end of January.
A key area the company's now looking at is becoming a host for apps outside of its signature CRM SaaS and the dev platform that made them: Force.com and Salesforce's "Java-like" strongly-typed Apex programming language.
Being "Java-like" is not good enough if Salesforce wants to break out. The executive leading that break-out campaign is Byron Sebastian who serves not just as Salesforce's executive vice president of platform but also as chief executive of Heroku, the start-up that started life hosting Ruby apps atop Amazon's EC2 and S3, and which has since broadened its appeal to include Python Scala, Node.js and – yes – Java.
Sebastian came to Salesforce though the acquisition of Heroku in 2010 for $212m. Salesforce knew it needed to change, it just wasn't sure how and speaking to Salesforce at the time it seemed to believe that Heroku would provide that special something that would allow it to break into the developer field. Buying Heroku and then serving up more than 105,000 Ruby apps along with Sebastian appeared to be the "special something" Salesforce had been looking for.
This month sees the latest evidence of Salesforce's attempt to buy into devs. Its upcoming Cloudforce satellite conference in London will see Salesforce host its first hackers' day, which it has dubbed Cloudstock, with sessions to help train coders in building for Salesforce's Chatter social apps, Sites.com website hosting service, the Force.com and Heroku.
Sebastian told The Reg during a recent interview: "I'm really on a mission to have a strong voice for developers on the Salesforce platform."
Salesforce likes to paint itself as a champion of the open web, but the truth is that for years it has promoted a proprietary language and development framework – Apex on Force.com - to customise its trademark CRM apps. It was the equivalent of Macros in Excel from Microsoft for line-of-business managers. That's changed and in recent years Salesforce has decided it is time to reach out to code heads.
Amazon is now the one to emulate and hosting of apps is a potentially tasty prospect. Amazon doesn't break out AWS revenues, instead the online etailer categorises them under "other". In the first nine months of 2011 Amazon posted $30.6bn in sales (up 44.2 per cent) while "other" accounted for $1.08bn – up 70.4 per cent.
In this new world Salesforce cannot remain wedded to just Apex or Force. In fact there's one language and platform Salesforce must embrace: Java. Heroku might have found fame and footing thanks to hipster coders sipping their lattes from behind thick-rimmed specs in San Francisco's Dog Patch, but its Java where the money lives – on the server farms and in data centres of the world. And thanks to the sheer volume of Java apps already running on servers in the enterprise, the number of Java coders on the planet present a standing army that Salesforce is aching to tap.
This isn't Salesforce's first stab at enterprise Java. Several years back, it teamed up with VMware on VMforce. But this was pre-Heroku. Post-Heroku, VMforce seems unnecessary and inappropriate given Salesforce's chief executive Marc Benioff's schtick of railing against the "evils" of the kinds of private clouds built using VMware.
The VMware factor
I put this to Sebastian, and he says neatly that the work on VMforce has "concluded", with Database.com SDK for Java and Spring in August last year.
The problem is that VMware itself has never had a terribly strong developer story – hence VMware's own purchase of Spring and Zimbra. Also, we have to question the success of Database.com, the ACID-compliant relational database as a service launched in December 2010. Salesforce won't release the size of its database-as-a-service but says simply there were 45 billion transactions in the latest quarter – a figure devoid of both context and meaning. At the other end of the scale, there's Amazon's AWS with 370,000 transactions per second on 566 billion objects.
Salesforce's focus on Java also comes at what can only be described as a growing renaissance for the language and platform.
The Oracle-led roadmap is to make Java more cloud-friendly and better suited to big data, multi-language interoperability and mobile. I kick-started deliveries with Java 7 in 2011 and has committed to deliveries every two years – Java had stalled with Java 6 in 2006 under Sun, prompting talk of stagnation and comparisons with Cobol.
Java unjammed
The outlook for Java is brighter under Oracle than it was under Sun Microsystems, with Java daddy James Gosling giving Larry Ellison's database giant a nod of approval. High-performance Java Virtual Machine (JVM) Azul Systems, which once butted heads with deceased Java steward Sun, is also on board. Those days are long gone and Azul is firmly back in from the cold, and has even been elected to the Java Community Process executive committee overseeing Java Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition.
"We've been very, very pleased with how Oracle is re-invigorating the Java roadmap and overall awareness of Java in the community," Azul's chief executive Scott Sellers told The Reg.
"In the later days of Sun there were serious questionmarks about where Java was headed. Sun had lost its innovation and vision on where to take Java. What we've seen from Oracle is they have stepped up and assumed the leadership of Java. It needed a big company to step up and take the reins.
"A couple of years ago we heard a lot more concern over the long term about whether Java is still the right language for us as an enterprise to use. We don't hear that much anymore," Sellers said.
Oracle has some grand plans for the language with Object Orientation in Java 10 in 2017. But is it too much? "I don't think so at all," Sellers says. "Developers are an aggressive tribe in general, and features in Java 10 don't break anything so it's not forcing developers to use these new capabilities."
As far as Sebastian is concerned, Java is already in the cloud. He's bullish about the JVM as the place where languages converge on Heroku. The JVM is becoming a runtime platform for other languages, languages like Scala – that is supported on Heroku.
"The JVM has been hardened over many, many years: Scala and closure run on the JVM... We're bullish on Java and it will only continue to get better. There's an opportunity to rethink what your Java platform is and how you deploy your Java apps to the cloud," Sebastian says.
Sebastian talks like a newcomer but he's a coder's coder from the old skool; long before he joined Heroku, Sebastian worked in world where the beset way to put Java apps on the web was buying or downloading a free app server. In his past, he worked at WebLogic shop BEA Systems as vice president and general manager of the Workshop development environment.
Cloud means you no longer need to worry about something like app server, he says. "We... think cloud computing abstracts away the server - automate, configure, reboot, patching, versioning - that's completely automated in the Salesforce platform.
"We have been pushing the notion of containerless development and deployment of Java apps – it's a new way of thinking to people who think you can fork lift the entire J2EE stack to the cloud. We spent lot of time thinking about the power of the cloud."
According to Sebastian, Heroku – or rather Salesforce – can keep things simple for the coders coming to its platform. "We have a track record of boiling down the problem to the simplest possible constraints and requirements. We did that at Heroku with Ruby and web apps... We are saying now we can deliver that value to developers in the language of their choice."
Heroku runs on Amazon, and part of its secret has been to shield coders from that raw infrastructure nuts and bolts by making Amazon easier to use. Among other things, Heroku has dressed underlying Amazon with UI for deployment and management while also providing simplified pricing and packaging options.
Sensitive position
Things aren't that clear-cut for Salesforce's sales pitch: it has Heroku, VMforce and – to a lesser extent – Force.com, and Sebastian has to juggle these at events like Cloudstock. He must justify each platform and promote each without detracting from the other – especially not the one Salesforce has invested in the most – Force.com and Apex.
Here's how that pitch breaks down, according to Sebastian: Force.com is a "very high production environment for developers and business analysts who want to build data-intensive apps for data retrieval and workflow". Heroku has "a lower level of abstraction for developers who want maximum power."
Heroku has more for the developers whom Salesforce is targeting, but it must convince existing legions of Java devs that Salesforce really is a serious option, and no longer something just for the macro jockies. But it must also explain why it's a better option than Amazon and why even serious coders don't need to get their hands dirty in the guts of a system just to float their apps. ®

The description of the "penthouse" aroused high expectations that are not met, as it does not correspond in many ways the reality:
Decisive for our reservation and the acceptance of higher price were particularly
2 factors (of several) that have not been met:
* Overlooking the Andaman Sea = not given but only on nature
* The 144.9 square meters were eventually max. 80 sqm. The missing area of
about 65 square meters (call center / Wimdu= not allowed) referred lt. Manager onto the terrace.
Otherwise disagreed success information with the found match reality.:
* "Penthouse" is located on the 1st floor and not "on the roof of a multi-storey
Residential building "(definition of Penthouses / Wikipedia)
* the "Private" terrace was not separated and eventually open to all residents
* a bathroom was not spacious, but had max. 4 sqm area
* up on the dining table with 4 chairs, the decor was not luxurious; the upholstery of the couch was worn, the device otherwise simple and worn
* the TV (not a "flatscreen") was absolutely outdated and had a 30 cm deep housing; thus not exclusive and luxurious
*pollutes the air conditioners
*two hotplates (no electric oven=a Must for luxury App.) were old and dirty
*because of the few and unfavorably mounted sockets it was very difficult and cumbersome to use at all the electrical appliances such as cookers and hobs
*the easily accessible and viewable area behind the refrigerator was extremely dirty
Directly after inspection of the apartments we asked the manager. He was in America. A competent local representatives could not be named. Only after repeated, insistent desire we were connected by phone with the manager Simen. This specified specious arguments for unrealistic description and was to compromise (for example discount) ready.
Only respect. Indication hins. "Overlooking the Anadamansee) he had no ready excuse and admitted that the statement was not correct.
If the apartment described realistic and pricing accordingly correspondingly lower been no high expectations would also been awakened and the disappointment was not so great.
The staff was very friendly and courteous and always open to our requests.
The choice / Breakfast was Thai standards absolutely ok
Wir waren 1 Woche mit 2 Kindern da. Es hat uns sehr gefallen. Unser Appartement mit Küche Wohnzimmer zwei Schlafzimmer waren hell, sehr geräumig und liebevoll eingerichtet. Es war schön sauber und das Personal sehr Freundlich. Sehr zu empfehlen.
A very pleasent place. Very nice apartment. A favorable quietness, 5 minutes by car from Ao Nang Beach! Great breakfast buffet. Very very very nice staff! You feel so safe in the Nidivana. If you need a place to relax, this is the place - expecially when there are few other guests.
Only thing to know is, that it costs 200bath to go by scooter taxi back to the apartment - Nadivana offers free lift to Ao Nang (Beach) every 2. Hour. Between 10am - 20pm. You can get massage and food from the restaurant at Nadivana. They also have a minimart for beverage and snacks. By the way - their flod is rally good. 10 minutes walk for a 7-eleven. Greate place!!!
Gran lugar para alojarse. aunque la primera impresión puede ser que este lugar es un poco fuera de lugar en el centro de .. no es cierto .. Está a sólo 5 minutos en coche de la principal playa de Ao Nang central. para volver a llenar, el lugar ofrece servicio de transporte gratuito cabalga hasta allí cada 2 hrs 10 a.m.-8 p.m. ..
el lugar es limpio y tranquilo, un gran lugar para relajarse con frens o familia .. hay una zona de la piscina para nosotros sumergimos agua pulg
sin duda volveremos aquí de nuevo.
Great place to stay. though the first impression might be this place is abit out of place from the central.. it is not true.. its only a 5mins drive to the main Ao Nang beach central. to top it up, the place provides free shuttle rides to there every 2 hrs from 10am to 8pm..
the place is clean and peaceful, great place to chill with frens or family.. there is a pool area for us to dip water in.
would definitely come back here again.

Consumer Advocate Asks CFP Board Ambassadors to Share Their
Best Advice from This Year's Challenging Market
Washington, DC, December 14, 2011 – For sheer investment chaos, 2011 is hard to beat. How did CFP® professionals guide their clients in a market where irrationality prevailed? Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Consumer Advocate Eleanor Blayney, CFP® asked CFP Board Ambassadors from across the U.S. about how they advised clients during a year when nothing worked as expected.
"There was one near-unanimous response from the CFP Board Ambassadors to the volatility and uncertainty of 2011, " Blayney says. "It was that consumers need the help of competent professionals to focus on the things they CAN control, as opposed to feeling helpless about the things they cannot."
With the outlook for the coming year likely to be similar to the previous, the advice doled out by the CFP Board Ambassadors in 2011 will be just as applicable in 2012. According to Blayney, this advice includes controlling the following:
Blayney says there is one additional lesson that could be learned from last year's market tumult – one that is strengthened by the Ambassadors' list of advice – CFP® professionals do much more than advise on investments.
"There are a lot of other areas where financial planners are providing clarity for their clients, " Blayney says. "A financial planner's job, as these CFP® professionals see it, is to pull everything together – taxes, cash flow, risk management, as well as investments – into an action plan that speaks louder and longer to their clients than today's evening news. "
