Does Chris Brown Have a Point About the Media's Treatment of Charlie Sheen?
Why do most interviews gloss over Sheen's history of violence toward women?
Chris Brown was not happy when Robin Roberts asked him about Rihanna on Good Morning America today, and he made his anger known by storming out, screaming, cracking a window, and tweeting, "I'm so over people bringing this past shit up!!! Yet we praise Charlie sheen and other celebs for there bullshit." Though he later deleted the tweet (the only part of his rampage he could take back, alas), did Brown have a point? After all, Sheen has a rap sheet full of assaults against women, a fact that his many recent interviewers — including CNN's unctuous Piers Morgan — have been content to gloss over or ignore entirely. What's to blame for this disparity?

Top Ten List - Pre-Reboot Movies Part 1
This year, to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek, we fans are anxiously awaiting the third installment of J.J. Abrams successful Star Trek reboot film series. I thought that while we waited for July 22 to arrive, we should take a look back at the 10 original movies and rank them in a Top 10 list. I decided not to include the reboot movies because they are in their own category (to me at least), but I plan on discussing them after the third movie comes out and then talk about all three together.
Before I begin, I will freely admit that I actually enjoy all ten movies. Some are definitely flawed, but they all have their good points. I would be very interested in hearing what any of you have to say on the matter. Also, since I will be discussing some basic plotlines, an obvious and obligatory "SPOILER ALERT" is in order (although, to be honest, for those who are following this blog, I expect that you have already seen most if not all of these movies a few times over).
10. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - Directed by William Shatner himself, this movie often lands itself at the bottom of most fan lists. The only in the franchise to get nominated for the infamous Razzies (it received 6 nominations and earned 3 dubious awards, including Worst Picture and double whammy for Shatner getting worst director and actor). For myself, I liked the premise initially, and to be honest, found many of the jokes funny. I liked the effort to make the main cast appear somewhat more human (Chekov and Sulu getting lost hiking and then trying to bluff their way out of it with Uhura), Despite this, the editing was a bit flawed. For example, when the trio of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are shooting up the turbolift, the numbers of the levels they pass are out of order. That sort of sloppy work is going to hurt the product. There were also a fair number of cringe-worthy moments (Uhura's fan dance, Kirk fighting a cat-lady, and how quickly the crew fell to Sybok's influence). There were points that I liked, but I get why it is usually hated by fans, so this one was easy for me to place in last place.
9. Star Trek: The Motion Picture - The film that started it all is a grand-scale special-effects laced epic that, for its time, was revolutionary. For years fans had been hoping to get the crew back together. It was wonderful to see everyone back in action, and yet I have found that this movie to be a bit the slowest, plot-wise, of all of them. It has the well-earned nick-name of "The Motionless Picture" for a reason. It's hard for me to watch in one sitting without getting distracted, but it is definitely better than #5, and without it we likely would not have the rest of the franchise.
8. Star Trek Nemesis - The last film before the reboot, and the last official voyage of the TNG cast, Nemesis is the film where I start to drift from general consensus. Many feel that this film killed the franchise. While I agree that it was the weakest of the TNG films, in no way do I find it to be a bad movie. I loved the action and how it sent the TNG crew off on a good note. I loved the cameos of Guinan, Wes Crusher, and Janeway (though I would have preferred to have seen more to do with Wesley, like maybe some lines of dialogue), as well as a slight tip of the hat to, at the time, the only Trek on TV (one of the ships sent to assist the Enterprise was shown as the USS Archer, after Captain Johnathan Archer). Troi and Riker getting married was a perfect wrap-up to their story, as was Riker finally taking command of his own ship. Some great comedic moments (Data singing "Blue Skies"), and some surprises (Data making the ultimate sacrifice to save his friends) made it a well-rounded movie. I do not get why so many fans hated the film, but I do understand some of its flaws. First, while Tom Hardy as the clone of Picard was interesting, I found his story to be a bit underwhelming. When I think of great movie villains, you can't be a whimper. There were also some interesting scenes that were deleted that would have made the movie stronger. Finally, the director just didn't get Trek. When you hire a director for Star Trek, you need someone who gets the franchise. While Stuart Baird has an impressive resume, he just did not get what this franchise was about.
7. Star Trek Generations - The first outing of the TNG crew comes in at #7. Earlier in 1993, Picard and crew went on their last voyage for the TV series, and then jumped right into filming their first feature film. We finally get to see Kirk and Picard join forces, and we even get a look at the never-before seen Enterprise B. It was great to see Tim Russ, the future Mr. Tuvok, and having Chekov and Scotty with Kirk was a lot of fun. Some important character development for Picard (losing his brother and nephew) and Data (getting his emotion chip installed), but for the rest of the crew it was business as usual. Everyone had their moments, and we finally see the end of the Sisters of Duras. We also see the demise of two key characters, both who go down fighting. First, while not human, the Enterprise D was destroyed, likely to make room for an even bigger, better Enterprise in the rest of the movies. Second, Captain James T. Kirk himself meets his end, making a difference. I would say that while this movie is still a pretty great film, I found that the death of Kirk to be not quite fitting for such an iconic character. Originally it supposed to be Kirk getting shot in the back by Malcolm McDowell's character, Soran. When that ending was leaked, fans were furious, and the powers that be decided to change it around to keep it a surprise. I think this hurt the movie a bit. I also thought that Soran was not as strong as other villains we had seen, or would see in the future. Heck, I would put the alien whale probe ahead of Soran on the Best Villains list. Still, to see Data fully immerse himself in emotions, Worf finally get his promotion, and Picard and Kirk unite to save the day, it is a solid entry in the franchise.
6. Star Trek Insurrection - This might get me some heat for ranking it this high. It is largely considered a mediocre movie with silly humor and a boring plotline. It might be that it was on the heels of the very successful First Contact, but there were a lot of critics of this movie. I think my biggest issue for this movie was that it seemed more like an extended TV episode rather than a motion picture event. The villain, while more toothsome than Soran, is still not at the level of other greats like Kruge, Chang, and Khan. The story seems a bit uninspired, but not dull either. What I like about this movie is that it shows some of the crew a bit out of their element. I loved seeing Dr. Crusher and Troi having a bit more to do in the action department, while being able to see Riker kick butt in the Captain's chair for the first time since "Best of Both Worlds". I was also happy to see the Roker-Troi relationship get to where fans had been hoping it would go for years, see Picard find some love, and finally get to see Geordi's eyes. Granted, Worf experiencing Klingon puberty again was a bit over the top, overall it was good movie.
In Part 2 I will take on the Top 5 films.

oh sure get me all excited about your list and make me wait. My favourite line from Insurrection is Data repeating the conversation of Troi and Crusher to Worf, "And have you noticed that your boobs are starting to firm up...?" makes me laugh every time.ReplyDeleteReplies
One of the many lessons of Trek is how to use a good cliff-hanger. And yes, that is a great quote. Congrats on being the first person to leave a comment on this blog!Delete

This :
" Know you what it is to be a child? It is something very different from the man of today. It is to have spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism; it is to believe in love; to believe in loveliness; to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child has a fairy godmother in its soul."
Has got me pondering this:
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, " Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 18 : 1-4

Big Data Geocoding and Overlay Analysis: A combined approach using ArcGIS and PostgreSQL
By Devika Kakkar, Jeff Blossom, and Giovanni Zambotti
In a recent project we were tasked to geocode approximately 53 million U.S. addresses (in CSV format), and determine the 2000 and 2010 U.S. Census block group FIPS codes for each address. This blog will discuss the workflow used to accomplish this big data processing task, detailing each step taken to optimize the process, including scripts written. The final process ended up being a combined approach using ArcGIS, PostgreSQL, and files formatted in CSV. The full job ended up taking 96 hours to geocode in ArcGIS, and 14 hours for block group determination in PostgreSQL. The Dell PC used for all processing is a 64-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1 operating system machine with i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz × 2 and 64 GB of RAM.
First, the CSV file containing the 53 million addresses was geocoded using ArcGIS for Desktop 10.3 and Esri Business Analyst 2015. The processing took about 96 hours to run. Results were saved into a file geodatabase that ended up being 16.86 GB in size. The geocoding rate started out at 200,000 per hour, but then steadily increased to as much as 900,000 per hour, averaging about 550,000 per hour for the duration. 99% of the addresses were matched. To improve batch geocoding performance, please refer to the link below:
Next, determining the census block group 2000 and 2010 FIPS codes for each address was necessary. ArcGIS has several ways to accomplish this, including the tools spatial join, identity, and intersect. The 2000 and 2010 block group polygon boundaries were copied from the ESRI Data and Maps datasets into the file geodatabase holding the geocoded addresses. Each block group file has just over 200,000 polygons. The spatial join, identity, and intersect tools were run on the addresses and 200,000 block group polygons, and each time ArcGIS threw an "Out of Memory" error. Having run into this error before (ArcGIS running out of memory when attempting analyses with datasets numbering in the millions), a python multithreading script (included in "Python Multithreading Script" section below) running simultaneous processes was used to process a subset (~11.7 million addresses) of the full dataset against the block groups. The multiprocessing script uses the python PostGIS library psycopg2, referenced at the link below:
import multiprocessing
import time
import psycopg2
from datetime import datetime
startTime = datetime.now()
print startTime
census_block_list = range(1,11722278)
conn = psycopg2.connect("dbname=postgres user=postgres password=postgres")
def update_points_in_census_block(census_id):
cur = conn.cursor()
sql = "update ba2000 as points set fipsout = polygons.id from bg2000 as polygons where polygons.ogc_fid = " + str(census_id) + " and st_intersects(polygons.wkb_geometry, points.wkb_geometry);"
if __name__ == '__main__':
pool = multiprocessing.Pool(processes=3)
results = pool.map(update_points_in_census_block, census_block_list)
print datetime.now() - startTime
Though this approach was extremely easy to implement, it was not so efficient due to the long processing time of roughly 2.5 hours per block group for the subset used. Therefore, we turned to a solution using the PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL version 9.4 can be downloaded and installed using the link below:
The PostGIS extension was enabled and connected to the database using QGIS. Importing the addresses and census block group polygons into PostgreSQL took 30 hours. Therefore, an alternative method using a CSV file instead of geodatabase was used for import. First, the geocoded geodatabase was exported to a CSV file. Then the CSV file was copied to a PostgreSQL table. This took only 6 minutes to complete which was much less compared to the time of importing a geodatabase. After the import was complete, an "Intersect" command was run to find the block group for each address. Processing the block group 2000 and 2010 determination for all 53 million address locations took about 14 hours. Once complete, the results were exported back into CSV. See the "PostgreSQL workflow" section below, where each command is listed.
In conclusion, by experimenting with various processing techniques available in ArcGIS and PostgreSQL, an efficient process was developed to handle this big data geocoding and spatial overlay analysis task.
PostgreSQL workflow:
# Connect to the database, QGIS connection is used
# Create an empty table with the same fields as the csv file

Pests in Gardens and Landscapes: Quick Tips
Contrary to popular belief, insects are not a common cause of damage in California lawns. Poor lawn care, especially ill-timed watering and planting grass not suited to your situation, are more likely causes of unhealthy or dying lawns. Turfgrass diseases, excessive or inappropriate use of chemicals such as fertilizer and herbicides, or dog urine also produce similar damage. Never apply an insecticide unless a damaging level of a known insect is confirmed. Insecticides are only effective if applied at the right time and in the right manner. Many insecticides also kill good bugs—use them only as a last resort.
Keep your lawn healthy.
How do you know if insects are causing damage?
If there is a damaging number of insects:
How to Perform a Drench Test
Minimize the use of pesticides that pollute our waterways. Use nonchemical alternatives or less toxic pesticide products whenever possible. Read product labels carefully and follow instructions on proper use, storage, and disposal.

Merry Christmas From Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy
From the desk of Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy……Merry Christmas!!!
December 23. Call it two days before Christmas or call it Christmas Eve Eve. Either one works for me! We're counting down the last days in a flurry of activity, a probable frantic rush to get things done. I know I'm still wrapping and baking but I'm having fun too. Since we're into the holiday period, I thought I'd share a few pictures from Christmas past and present with all of you, a cyber Christmas card of sorts.
I hope your Christmas is bright and merry, warm and wonderful, and everything the
celebration should be.

The doomed city lay undisturbed for more than 1,700 years, until excavations began in the 18th century and are still in progress today.

To listen to Timothy MacBain's latest Tomcast audio interview in which John Feffer discusses power — hard, soft, smart, and dumb — click here or download it to your iPod here.
Barack Obama is a smart guy. So why has he spent the last four years executing such a dumb foreign policy? True, his reliance on "smart power" — a euphemism for giving the Pentagon a stake in all things global — has been a smart move politically at home. It has largely prevented the Republicans from playing the national security card in this election year. But "smart power" has been a disaster for the world at large and, ultimately, for the United States itself.
Power was not always Obama's strong suit. When he ran for president in 2008, he appeared to friend and foe alike as Mr. Softy. He wanted out of the war in Iraq. He was no fan of nuclear weapons. He favored carrots over sticks when approaching America's adversaries.
His opponent in the Democratic primaries, Hillary Clinton, tried to turn this hesitation to use hard power into a sign of a man too inexperienced to be entrusted with the presidency. In 2007, when Obama offered to meet without preconditions with the leaders of Cuba, North Korea, and Iran, Clinton fired back that such a policy was "irresponsible and frankly naïve." In February 2008, she went further with a TV ad that asked voters who should answer the White House phone at 3 a.m. Obama, she implied, lacked the requisite body parts — muscle, backbone, cojones— to make the hard presidential decisions in a crisis.
Obama didn't take the bait. "When that call gets answered, shouldn't the president be the one — the only one — who had judgment and courage to oppose the Iraq war from the start," his response ad intoned. "Who understood the real threat to America was al-Qaeda, in Afghanistan, not Iraq. Who led the effort to secure loose nuclear weapons around the globe."
Like most successful politicians, Barack Obama could be all things to all people. His opposition to the Iraq War made him the darling of the peace movement. But he was no peace candidate, for he always promised, as in his response to that phone call ad, to shift U.S. military power toward the "right war" in Afghanistan. As president, he quickly and effectively drove a stake through the heart of Mr. Softy with his pro-military, pro-war speech at, of all places, the ceremony awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize.
Obama's protean abilities have come to the fore in his approach to what once was called "soft power," a term Harvard professor Joseph Nye coined in his 1990 book Bound to Lead. For more than 20 years, Nye has been urging U.S. policymakers to find different ways of leading the world, exercising what he termed "power with others as much as power over others."

Sad news: Eminent conductor collapses and dies
June 2, 2017 by norman lebrecht
The management agency for Sir Jeffrey Tate has confirmed his death, this afternoon, at the age of 74. The eminent British conductor suffered a heart attack while visiting the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo, Italy, and could not be revived.
Sir Jeffrey Tate, who was 74, was knighted six weeks ago for services to music.
Born with spina bifida and suffering disability all his life, he has been principal conductor at Covent Garden, the Rotterdam Philharmonic and the Sao Carlo theatre in Naples.
At the time of his death he was chief conductor of the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra.
His disability did not prevent him from working at most of the great opera houses, including the Met. At one point, in the 1980s, he was in line to become music director at Covent Garden. Amiable and sensitive, especially when rehearsing singers, Jeffrey was unfailingly well liked and respected.
He recorded extensively, most notably the Mozart piano concertos with Mitsuko Uchida.
He shared his life with Klaus Kuhlemann, a German scientist.
NB: (The Academia is an art gallery; first reports that he died in an orchestral rehearsal were misplaced.)
UPDATE: Jeffrey Tate: How Britten changed my life.

Holy shit. Oh, how awful.
This is very sad news. His appearances in the UK had become far too infrequent but I cherish memories of some marvellous Covent Garden performances in the 80s and 90s.
Coincidentally, I was listening just the other day to his recording of Beethoven VII with the Dresden Staatskapelle. He was one of a *very* select band of conductors able to maintain the 6/8 rhythm throughout the allegro of the first movement without letting it slip into 2/4.
So very saddened by Tate's passing. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
I'm sorry that happened☎
I'm so saddened by this; having assisted and cover conducted several productions, including a Ring Cycle, Sir Jeffrey was one of the most knowledgeable, kindest and most willing to share musicians I have ever met, and the best influence on a younger generations one could find. All this in a frail body that still seemed to posses endless strength and courage. What a loss, but what blessing to have had him with us as long as we have.
RIP, Sir Jeffrey
He was also the Pricipal Guest Conductor and Artistic Adviser of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra at the time off his death. A man who has done great work with my old orchestra…
A delightful human being and a great artist. I am so sad that's he's gone.
What a fine musician – wish there were more like him. Thankfully we have a significant number of recordings to cherish. A marvelous Hansel & Gretel and Elgar symphonies second to none.
Agree on the Elgar – fantastic music making. I'm not sure I've heard a bad performance conducted by Sir Jeffrey.
How sad – and on Elgar's 160th birthday too. I have many Elgar recordings but none by Tate, and hadn't known of him as such a revered interpreter of Elgar. I will look out for them.
Dead right. An extensive recorded legacy is of course no kind of consolation when a great musician dies, but you're so glad of it nonetheless. I only wanted to add how good Tate's ECO recordings of Classical music also are: I love his Haydn London Symphonies and Mozart concertos with Uchida, for example. Just full of warmth, humanity and style.
I am very sad. I remember Peter Grimes at Theâtre du Chatelet. We all will miss him.
Very sad news indeed. I had the great privilege of playing under him at Music Academy of the West many years ago. He was an inspiration.
Jeffrey was the Artistic Director of the Minnesota Orchestra's Sommerfest series from 1997-2000 . His talent , charm and good wit were evident in all of his performances and he leaves a large legacy of recordings , performances and productions.
Sad day indeed .
I was fortunate to see his Elektra and Figaro in San Francisco. Both were exemplary.
Very very sad news. He has done wonderful work with the Rotterdam Philharmonic. Sometimes it seems that physical ailments are benefitting an artist's interior intensity and profundity, to compensate for the suffering. I think that was definitely the case here.
A brave musical soldier and a good man. I like to think that when he collapsed he didn't suffer and never knew what hit him!
Love and agree with everything here. I especially love Sue's comment near the end. May we all be so lucky as to go quickly and not "know what hit us". May Maestro Tate RIP, knowing his life and work was not in vain.
Regarding that kind of death; this week I was talking to my hi-fi salesman – an extremely fit 62y/o athlete and bike-rider. He told me he'd had a cardiac arrest during a bike ride 3 months ago and that all he could remember was feeling a little dizzy beforehand. Thanks to 3 doctors on the peleton his life was saved, but he said he woke up in hospital, remembering absolutely nothing and seeing all his fellow riders around his bed. That's when I realized that, perhaps, a little dizziness is perhaps the only warning some will have of impending death. I wondered if that was what it was like to die with a heart attack and the answer is probably yes.
Was privileged to attend the first Adelaide Ring Cycle under his direction. An experience never forgotten.
I am so very sad to hear of Jeffrey's death. I have known him since we were both 18 when he came to Edinburgh with the Cambridge Footlights. What fun we had in those early days, and I know how hard he worked and what a wonderful friend he has been over the years. My best wishes go to Klaus who looked after him so well for so long
A dear friend and then neighbour from the very early 1970s. Thank you for all the wonderful times and for taking me under your wing… having just arrived in London few weeks before… at the age of 21. Life-long friends…. my only regret is that I did not see you as often as I should have……… much deep love to you and to dear Klaus.
When I first came to live in Cambridge, about thirty years ago, I went to a concert in Kings College where I heard Mitsuko Uchida and Jeffrey Tate playing music for four hands, mostly Schubert. It was pure magic; a never to be forgotten evening.
My sincere condolences… I was very glad to know Maestro Tate will be next MD of Hamburg Symphony Orchestra, when i left. I guess his cadence was the best time for this orchestra. Thank you Maestro!
Rest in Peace.
Sir Jeffrey Tate was the finest conductor I ever knew. He inspired love and commitment of the highest order. I sang in choruses under his direction in the eighties and it was life changing. I'll never forget his instruction to get the right effect in the Benedictus of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis ; "Sing like nuns saying the Rosary". We did. It worked magically! Thank you, Jeffrey, for bringing so much music to life.
This is very sad news. My thoughts of sympathy are for his partner, friends and family.
I cherish the memories of beautiful concerts with the Rotterdam Philharmonic, in De Doelen of Rotterdam and in the Concertgebouw. May he rest in peace.
I'd prefer as headline "Jeffrey Tate has died". He may have been underrated, but for readers of this blog Jeffrey Tate is well known The headline "Eminent conductor dies " is unnecessarily anonymous. What counts first is the death of the beloved human being Jeffrey Tate.
I can only add my sadness to the expressions above. I was privileged to produce some of Jeffrey's recordings of Mozart and Schubert with the English Chamber Orchestra. From the very beginning, here, evidently, was a musician of depth, humanity, high intelligence and emotional susceptibility. Many marvellous conductors succeed with some of these. Jeffrey had them all. My thoughts, and those of my partner Peter, are with Klaus at this time. We both hope that his dedication and his memories of a remarkable journey together will help to sustain him in the time ahead.

Details of Southern Methodist Mustangs and the Ticket Luck value
Southern Methodist Mustangs
"In 1935, SMU had a magnificent season. The Mustangs completely dominated their opponents. They shut out eight of their 12 regular season opponents, including conference rivals Texas, Rice, Baylor, and Texas A&M. They were one of the most talented teams in school history. The 1935 Mustangs secured their place in football immortality by being crowned National Champions."The SMU Mustangs is the name of the athletic teams representing Southern Methodist University. The Mustangs participate in the NCAA's Division I as a member of Conference USA. In 2005, SMU accepted an invitation to the Western Division of Conference USA, and left the Western Athletic Conference. From 1918 to 1996, the Mustangs were a member of the Southwest Conference, until it formally disbanded.
In 1987, SMU became the first school in collegiate athletic history to receive the NCAA's "Death Penalty", or having a sports program terminated for a determined amount of time. SMU's football program was terminated for the 1987 season because the University was allegedly making approximately $61,000 in booster payments, through a slush-fund created by the SMU Board of Governors. SMU was eligible for the "death penalty" because they were being charged while already on probation for previous offenses. In "A Payroll to Meet" by David Whitford, it is revealed that the "Death Penalty" was a result of the university administration's refusal to stop paying players already receiving payment. Since many players were poor, boosters would pay for rent or other bills for the parents of the athletes, and several key boosters and administration officials felt it would be unethical to cut off payments. When the sanctions were handed down, SMU had only three players - all seniors about to graduate - receiving payments.
During the 2006 season, the SMU men's soccer program was ranked No. 1 in the nation for four consecutive weeks. The team sat atop the four national polls with a record of 13-0-2 in the Adidas/NSCA poll, SoccerTimes.com poll, Soccer America Magazine poll, and the CollegeSoccerNews.com poll. Concurrently, the SMU women's soccer program cracked the top 25, at No. 22 in the Adidas/NSCA poll and No. 19 in the SoccerTimes.com poll. On November 6, 2006, the SMU men's soccer team finished the regular season ranked No. 2 in the nation. Additionally, SMU won the C-USA title game, beating Kentucky 2-0 in Tulsa. This C-USA championship win is the sixth conference title for SMU since 1997.
1915 June, Ray Morrison became the school's football, baseball, basketball and track coach, as well as a math instructor. Morrison came to be known as the "father of the forward pass" because of his use of the pass on first and second downs instead of as a last resort. First year of varsity football, team was nicknamed "The Parsons" primarily of theological students. In 1950, after playing alongside Doak Walker the previous two seasons, Kyle Rote was given his chance to be the featured back in 1950. Rote, who led the Southwest Conference with 777 yards rushing in 1949, was named an All-American following the 1950 season.
In 1951, Quarterback Fred Benners led the Mustangs to perhaps their greatest win of the decade. On April 11, 1990, Forrest Gregg assumed the role of athletic director, while announcing that he would relinquish his coaching duties following the 1990 season. Lisa Cole becomes SMU's first women's soccer All-American. She leads the Mustangs to their first NCAA Tournament appearance that season. Women's track & field scored first team points at NCAA Championships in third year of program. JoAnn Hacker becomes first female track & field athlete to be named All-American.
In 1991, Diving coach Jim Stillson named NCAA Women's Coach of the Year; he also won the award again in 1995. Women's swimming coach Steve Collins named NCAA Women's Swimming Coach of the Year ? again in 1996.In 1999, the women's diving team wins the 1999 U.S. Diving Indoor National Championship. SMU sophomore Jeryl Sasser becomes the second sophomore in Western Athletic Conference history to earn the league's men's basketball Player of the Year Award. One of the nation's finest all-around players, Sasser was the first SMU player in history to lead the team in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals. The SMU women's basketball team wins its first conference title after winning the 1999 Western Athletic Conference Tournament championship in Las Vegas.
The Mustangs advance to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in the past six seasons under Coach Rhonda Rompola. SMU great Eric Dickerson was inducted into the Professional Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, in 1999. He became the fifth Mustang to earn Pro Football Hall of Fame status. Women's rowing becomes SMU's newest sport. Head coach Kerry O'Keefe was hired to run the program, which will feature more than 60 student-athletes on its roster. Former SMU golfer Payne Stewart wins his second U.S. Open Championship.
Former SMU soccer player Tom Presthus became the first Mustang to be named to the MLS All-Star Team. Women's swimmer Martina Moravcova, one of the most decorated swimmers in NCAA history, receives 1998-99 Honda Award for women's swimming and diving. Moravcova ended her four-year career at SMU a 25-time All-American and 14-time NCAA Champion, including 10 individual titles that were the most in the modern era, a time when swimmers were not restricted to only three events at the NCAA's each year. She won 26 conference title out of a possible 28 as a collegian. She became the first individual in WAC history to win both the 100 free and 200 IM three years in a row. Women's swimming becomes first team to sweep all 21 events at WAC Championships.

Just want to share my trouble shooting sequence.
A few days back, I just replaced my Hayward Cartridge filter pressure gauge. This filter is downstream of my Hayward sand.
I buy liquid filled one. The Hayward Cartidge one is a suspect because I can see some sort of fine white deposit on the needle and it has condensation sometimes when my pool boy work "wet" around it. When I tap it with my finger and it can jump 1 psi, its time to change.
So now I assumed I have a more reliable pressure gauge downstream of my sand on the cartridge filter, to experiment.
I been suspecting the Hayward sand filter pressure gauge sort of in accurate lately when at anything above 10 psi. It kept registering 12 psi as being highest when my cartidge is already hitting 15 psi according to the log book. Doesn't make sense. The sand press gauge supposedly reads my cartridge filter pressure + the sand itself. So no way a cartridge press gauge can read higher than the sand one.
So I conducted a test today by slowly closing partially the inlet valve to the pool to create higher pressure reading.
The sand reads 13 psi when the cartridge reads 15 psi...ha ha ha. Before I play with the valve partial closing test, when sand reads 10, cartridge reads 10. This is not possible, the cartridge filter itself will contribute at least 3-5 psi of restriction when in clean state.
I just looked back at my log book May 2007 and it seems I have a sticky press gauge on the sand filter for a year already..... Man, I should have noticed a long time ago. Again thanks TFP because I pay attention more now...YOU GUYS ROCK !!!!
Sand press been always 10 psi regardless of cartridge being 5 to 10 psi.
The moment cartidge hits 11 psi, then the sand starts to creep up. When pump is off, it reads zero.
Will buy new pressure gauge tomorrow.
I can never troubleshoot my poor suction side unless I get the output side correct first...
This kind of troubled gauge is a headache. If I were not to have a second press gauge downstream, I will never knew the sand press gauge was "un-healthy".
I should have noticed this when I did the pipe resistance calculation.... , dumb me. My sand filter is not registering enough PSI / resitance in the first place, considering I have a 100 feet pipe run and at 1.5" which is too small by reccomendation. I can't remember accurately what was the sand filter pressure clean before I install the cartridge filter downstream ( March 2007 ) ...aarrrrggggg.
Thanks all.

I had such good luck with my last post. I'm going for 2 for 2.
Current Ontap 9 Documentation states that in an AFF, you should assign disks 0-11 to node 1 and 12-24 to node 2.
https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMLP2495116 (PG 8)
However, I see that we now have 2 data partitions:
xxxxx::*> disk partition show 9.0.1.*
Usable Container Container
Partition Size Type Name Owner
------------------------- ------- ------------- ----------------- -----------------
9.0.1.P1 1.72TB spare Pool0 xxxxx
9.0.1.P2 1.72TB spare Pool0 xxxxx
9.0.1.P3 59.72GB aggregate /xxxrootxxx/plex0/rg0
Should the new best practice be to assign all P1's to node 1 and all P2's to node 2?
Looking for some guidance.
Thanks in advance!
Solved! SEE THE SOLUTION
That is correct.
Root-Data-Data (R-D2) partitioning divides SSDs into 2 large data partitions and 1 small root partition. One data partition per SSD is assigned to each node in the HA pair.
Only one SSD is required for hot spare partitions. This results in more usable capacity.
You then create an aggregate with a raid size of 23 (21 data + 2 parity) on each node.
I hope this helps!
The extra data partition in the root-data-data version doesn't really change the disk assignment guidance for the physical (container) disks in an AFF system. We're still say saying half of the shelf is owned by node 1 and the other half is owned by node 2.
See step 9 in this KB:
2017-04-14 05:16 PM - edited 2017-04-14 05:20 PM
Hi Andris, the KB article seems to talk about the advanced disk partitioning with 2 partitions, not the newer enahnced ADP 3 partition layout. I've been looking for some more documentation on the 3 partition layout but can't find any links or sections in the 9.1 documentation. Would you have a KB or documentation link for it ?
2017-04-15 04:55 PM - edited 2017-04-15 04:56 PM
Is best practice for 3 partitions root+data+data assigned to the same node, or would you assign 1 data partition to the HA partner, or doesn't it matter ?
FYI - I'm enquiring about A300's running 9.1
The container partition (the disk itself) is assigned to one node. The data partitions are assigned to both nodes, so one node owns the root partition and one data partition, while the other node owns the second data partition.
You might want to take a look at Understanding root-data partitioning for additional information.
Hi Dirk,
After a re-initialization of the system with 1 shelf the disk assignment is as follows:
Disk Slot: 0 - 11 assigned to node 2
Disk Slot: 12 - 23 assigned to node 1
Disks 0 - 1 partitions 1,2,3 are assigned to node 2 (partition 1 and 2 being data and partition 3 being root)
Disks 12 -23 parititions 1,2,3 are assigned to node 1 (partition 1 and 2 being data and partition 3 being root)
According to the documentation in the "understanding root-data parititioning" it states:
Root-data-data partitioning creates one small partition as the root partition and two larger, equally sized partitions for data as shown in the following illustration.
Creating two data partitions enables the same solid-state drive (SSD) to be shared between two nodes and two aggregates.
After initialization of the system the 2 data partitions of a disk are not shared amongst nodes.
If I remove ownership of 1 partition and try to assign the disk to the opposite node, the system does not allow me:
Node1> disk show -n
------------ -------------
0b.00.23P2 Not Owned
Node1> disk assign 0b.00.23P2
disk assign: Cannot assign "0b.00.23P2" from this node. Try the command again on node Node2
I had a support ticket open along side these posts which pointed me in the right direction. Finally got to the bottom of it if and hopefully helps out some people:
So from the factory or from a complete system re-initialization a node will own all data partitions of a disk, P1, P2 and P3.
If you want to set it up like in the documentation where you assign P2 to the opposite node, you have to do the following:
1. make sure the disk is listed as a spare. ::> storage aggregate show-spare-disks
2. enter advanced mode ::> priv set adv
3. To assign data P2 to the opposite node, in this case Node2. ::>storage disk assign -disk 2.0.0 -owner Node2 -data2 true -force true (use -data1 if you wish to reassign data1 partition)
FYI - On a 3.8TB SSD you will see around 1.74TB per data partition.

If Jose Manuel de la Torre, manager of the embattled Mexican national soccer team, manages to keep his job through the end of the current World Cup cycle he may have Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez to thank.
That's because Hernandez headed home a pair of second-half goals Saturday to lift El Tri to a face-saving 2-1 win over Japan in the Confederations Cup in Brazil.
Mexico won't advance in the tournament, a dress rehearsal for next summer's World Cup, after losing to Italy and Brazil in its first two matches. But after winning just one of its six matches in World Cup qualifying this year, Mexico needed to beat Japan to come home from the tournament with something other than embarrassment.
And Mexico took its frustration and anger out on the Japanese, blistering the net with 20 shots, nine of them on goal.

Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, just delivered "The Price of Inequality," a book armed with the subtitle, "How Today's Divided Society Endangers Our Future."
And the Lake Oswego School District has shut down Uplands, the third elementary school to close the past two years.
Let's connect the dots, shall we?
My children spent a total of 12 years at Uplands so Thursday's visit -- on the last day of school, quite literally -- was laced with nostalgia. As I wrote in 2002, Uplands turned me into a life-long fan of public education.
During the past decade, however, families with school-age children have found it increasingly difficult to afford a home in Lake Oswego. Elementary enrollment has dropped more than 10 percent, from 3,652 to 3,262 students. And the city council has been noticeably more supportive of affordable housing for seniors than for the brat-packed families that would re-energize the city's elementary schools.
Libertarians -- and many Lake Oswegans -- might argue that's the free market at work, and the market rules.
Not Stiglitz. He contends the market is rigged, and that government plays a dramatic role in perpetuating the inequities.
Once upon a time, the body politic put its muscle behind fair-housing laws that were designed -- as The Oregonian's Brad Schmidt argued in his four-part series earlier this month -- to "provide equal housing opportunities and root out decades-old patterns of racial segregation."
But political priorities have evolved. Speculators are taxed at a lower rate than blue-collar workers. Social welfare is stigmatized and corporate welfare is not. Even as 93 percent of this country's economic growth in the 2010 "recovery" was pocketed by the 1 percent, the trickle-down fantasy endures.
"Markets are shaped by laws, regulations and institutions," Stiglitz writes. "And the way we have been shaping America's market economy works to the advantage of those at the top and to the disadvantage of the rest."
Stiglitz thinks the sense of fair play -- and the vision of America as a land of equity and opportunity -- has dissolved in the process. The fissures in the social compact are obvious in the clustering of affordable housing in the Metro area.
Lake Oswego sets up barriers. Gresham picks up the slack.
Whatever you make of that imbalance, I'd argue that it's utterly self-defeating for my overly white, and increasingly gray, hometown.
In the absence of poor families, there aren't enough families. In the absence of school-aged kids -- each of whom arrives with $6,000 in state funding -- there are three fewer elementary schools.
The price of inequality.
LO Mayor Jack Hoffman is with me on this. When the city or its council decides that young families are a priority, he reminds us, there are numerous ways to welcome them: tax breaks, zoning changes, reduced utility rates, a mandate for affordable housing in the Foothills.
"But we haven't had the conversation," Hoffman notes.
Heck, six elementary schools are still standing, so I guess you might ask, what's the rush?

I always endeavour to stay ahead in the ever changing world of digital media and spend far too much of my free time looking at a screen, checking email or reading blogs.
I love to travel and have been to over 30 countries. I try to make sure I visit at least one new one every year. I'm an enthusiastic photographer (not to be confused with "good photographer") and you can see some of my photos on Flickr. I love to get outside and explore the countryside on foot or horseback and in my spare time you will often find me running along the lovely Eastbourne seafront or chasing my young daughter round the local parks.
