An article in last Friday's New York Times asks the question: why doesn't New York City have more ferries? The Staten Island Ferry is probably the most well known; and, of course, there is the popular water taxi from Wall Street to the Ikea in Red Hook, Brooklyn. But in a high-density urban area surrounded by water, the author argues that the water transportation potential is underutilized.
The New York City Economic Development Corporation is currently putting together a "Comprehensive Citywide Ferry Study," which should provide some guidance on expanding water transportation in the city.
I've always thought that here in Chicago water transportation options could be a fruitful area for reducing congestion and for expanding mobility options. In particular, the Chicago River and its tributaries could be used in this regard. Currently there are a couple of water taxi services that connect the main commuter rail stations on the west Loop with Michigan Avenue and Chinatown. But aside from the water taxis, passenger travel on the river is limited to private boats and tours.
I am sure there are engineering, navigational, and health and safety issues that would need to be squared away before expanding passenger travel on the river, but below I've put together a "back of the napkin" map of an ideal route.
Docks are situated at 1.5-2 mile intervals. In some areas the docks would serve neighborhoods with limited access to the rapid transit system while in others docks would be integrated with rail and bus to enhance mulitmodality.
I'm not sure about the timing or what sort of craft would be viable, but theoretically you could travel from the northern suburb of Evanston to downtown Chicago in a little more than an hour–making it competitive with local trains. The greatest potential would be for the north side Chicago neighborhoods where boat transit could be integrated with neighborhood commercial districts in areas like Logan Square/Lincoln Square, North/Clybourn, or Lincoln/Peterson.

Media Statement
Female Journalists Screen for Cervical Cancer in Honour of Susan Musukuma
Friday, November 29, 2012 – The Zambia Media Women Association is deeply saddened by the death of senior journalist and our member, Susan Musukuma.
Susan fought a year-long battle against cervical cancer, which she unfortunately lost on Thursday, November 28, 2012.
When Susan was diagnosed with the deadly disease, she used social media in urging women to screen for cervical cancer.
ZAMWA would like to continue her campaign and we are humbly requesting all women in the media and in general to screen for cervical cancer in honour of Susan and to adequately inform the nation about the disease.
Cervical cancer is the easiest female cancer to prevent with screening tests and follow-ups. Two screening tests can prevent cervical cancer or find it early enough to be sucessfully treated.
Ms Susan Musukuma will be dearly missed at ZAMWA and her work in the media will forever be cherished.
She leaves behind a son.

New Delhi: Delhi Metro has revised its minimum recharge amount using token vending machines (TVMs) to Rs 100 from Rs 200.
In second such revision of recharge value in the last two months, the Delhi Metro has also fixed Rs 50 as subsequent add value to the smart cards as against existing Rs 100. The initial add value through customer care centres will remain Rs 200 with subsequent add value of Rs 100, DMRC Executive Director (Corporate Communication) Anuj Dayal said.
"On the basis of feedback and suggestions received from metro commuters, the add value through TVMs has been fixed at Rs 100 and there upon in multiples of Rs 50 and it can be upto Rs 1000," he said.
The initial add value through customer care centres will remain Rs 200 with subsequent add value of Rs 100, said DMRC official.
There are about 170 Token Vending Machines installed at 83 Metro stations through which commuters may vend single journey tokens and add value to their smart cards.
DMRC had introduced some changes in its smart card add value and refund rules from May 21 considering most smart card users are regular travellers and with the opening of rapid metro and more corridors of Phase III, the maximum fare required for travel will increase as commuters would cover more distance.
The initial minimum add value of the smart cards had been increased from existing Rs 50 to Rs 100 (refundable security of Rs 50 is kept unchanged).
Subsequently, from the next transaction, the minimum add value will be of Rs 200 and further add values can be in multiples of Rs 100 if the top-ups are done at customer care centres at the metro stations.
For web top-up through www.delhimetrorail.com and www.dmrcsmartcard.com or top-ups through TVM the minimum add value amount will be Rs 100 and multiple of Rs 50 up to Rs 1000.
About 70 per cent of Delhi Metro travellers are smart card users who are able to avail a discount of 10 per cent on all their journeys whenever they use smart cards.

Formal and Informal Probate Administration in Wisconsin
Probate is the legal procedure used to transfer someone's assets after their death. Any Wisconsin estate that is valued in excess of $50,000 must go through the probate administration process unless the property is subject to certain exemptions. For example, assets placed in a revocable living trust or life insurance proceeds are not subject to probate. Whether or not probate is required, any written will left by a deceased person must be filed with the county's Register in Probate within 30 days.
A personal representative (sometimes known as an "executor") is someone designated to administer the assets of a deceased person's estate. Oftentimes, a personal representative is nominated in a decedent's will. Still, a personal representative cannot begin the execution of his or her duties until appointed by a court. The responsibilities of a personal representative include creating an inventory of the decedent's assets, paying any outstanding debts, managing the property included in the estate, paying taxes and administrative costs, and distributing the deceased person's property in accordance with the law.
There are two primary types of probate in Wisconsin, informal and formal. Which process is used will depend upon a number of factors. Informal probate is the administration of a deceased person's estate without continuous court supervision. Instead, informal probate is supervised by a Probate Registrar. Although consulting a Wisconsin probate attorney is usually wise, doing so is not required by law for informal probate administration. Informal administration is the most commonly used form of probate in Wisconsin.
Formal probate administration is supervised by a judge. Formal probate is required in a number of instances and Wisconsin statutes require the estate's personal representative to procure the assistance of an attorney. A deceased person's estate must be administered using formal probate where a will requires it, if the individual who is nominated to serve as a personal representative in the will declines, and where a decedent died intestate and all interested parties do not consent in writing to informal administration. Additionally, formal administration will be required where an interested party demands it.
All Wisconsin estates must be settled as quickly as is reasonably possible. Even so, it is impossible to settle a probate case in less than 4 months, and 6 months is usually a bare minimum. As a benchmark, all probate matters in the state should normally be closed within one year of commencing. That said, it is very common for estates to take longer than this to be completed, especially where real estate must be sold, the decedent had a legal claim against another when they died, or business interests are involved.
Each individual county also has the discretion to require speedier completion of probate administration. The legal requirements regarding probate administration are discussed in Chapters 851-882 of the Wisconsin Statutes. For assistance with probate matters, it is a good idea to consult with a knowledgeable Wisconsin estate planning lawyer early on in the process.
Attorney Daniel J. Krause is available to answer your questions about the probate process in Wisconsin. He is a dedicated and hardworking Dane County estate planning lawyer who helps clients throughout the State of Wisconsin with all of their estate planning needs.

text: Hi, Our home network consists of: 1. Gateway Laptop running WindowsXP SP3 2. iBook G4 running OS 10.4.11 (PPC Chip) 3. AMD Desktop running WindowsXP SP3. 4. 500GB Western Digital external USB HDD. By the end of the year, we want to transition our #3 (the desktop) to a new iMac, and the existing desktop will be retired. I'm a little concerned about the compatibility between Windows on the laptop, the hard drives and backups from the desktop, and the iBook. I've read the guide at the top of the main forum here, and I am thinking that since we're going to be using 2 Macs, we should probably use NTFS and just get a third-party program so they can read/write to them. There's around 75GB of information on the external HDD right now. What's the best way to configure my external HDD so I can have a backup copy of files that can be read/written to on both my Mac and Windows machines? We were thinking of doing around a 200GB section for Time Machine as HFS+, and using the rest for actual data (pictures, music, etc.) Lastly, we have two copies of WindowsXP Pro SP3 (both 32 bit and 64 bit). Has anyone had any driver or application problems with the 27" iMac i7's running them in 32-bit or 64-bit modes? Is it just more "worth it" to go get Win7 x64 Home Premium? And one last thing that the guide was a little vague on, when exactly do you install Windows? I imagine you have to install the MacOS first, which will come preinstalled, but then what? Is BootCamp just an app you can launch within OSX, or is it more complicated? Thanks in advance!

Teaching Content Using SDAIE Methodology
S.D.A.I.E. - Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English
Ron Rohac, educational consultant,
S.D.A.I.E. Specialist
S.D.A.I.E. or Sheltered English is a teaching style established to provide meaningful instruction in the content areas for transitioning Limited English Proficient students to make sure they continue to move forward academically while they reach English fluency. The pedagogy surrounding the logic of this design is based upon linguistic theories laid out by a number of researchers including Dr. Steven Krashen and Dr. James Cummins. Their development of the Contextual Interaction Theory and the hypotheses therein provide the cornerstones for S.D.A.I.E. methodology and program design. At the heart of the theory are two major components that impact S.D.A.I.E. methods. These are comprehensible second language input and a supportive affective environment. Teacher training in S.D.A.I.E. revolves around developing strategies to provide these components to allow for optimal English language development and content comprehension.
The purpose of using content in the development of English is simply to provide meaningful context for the students. Instead of watering down the curriculum the teacher provides methods of instruction that are supported to allow students to negotiate meaning of complex content in lecture, activities and reading and writing. Teachers borrow from many disciplines such as multiple intelligences, gifted and talented or special education to provide this meaningful or comprehensible input. Teachers find a way to allow ALL students to participate. However, unlike ESL, S.D.A.I.E. does not directly focus on language development. Rather, S.D.A.I.E. methods focus on content comprehension and English is acquired through this process. S.D.A.I.E. was originally intended for students that had reached intermediate fluency in English. That is, simply stated students were orally proficient in English but were reading and writing below grade level. At present however, teachers face a wide spectrum of language abilities due to increasing numbers of LEP students, shrinking numbers of qualified bilingual teachers and most recently legislation that all but eliminates primary language instruction. Multiple languages, multiple language levels and limited access to primary language support has left districts scrambling for answers to ensure quality instruction and compliance with state and federal mandates for education.
The development of lessons needs to be based upon the theoretical components of linguistic theory. That said, we are looking for the best tools to provide comprehensible input. Since the basis of S.D.A.I.E. is to provide context for language then one of the simplest ways to provide that is to start lessons with an activity. I like to say that these hands-on activities are the engines that drive the S.D.A.I.E. classroom. These activities provide the linguistic hooks for students to pin new language upon. It will provide context for complex language and a vehicle to send us to the text book for reading and writing activities. Teachers will explore ways to provide verbal and nonverbal cues to help students understand what it is they want them to accomplish. Simple processes like setting a predictable routine, starting certain content by standing in a certain place in a room, ringing a bell to start an activity or simply modeling what is expected are only a few examples. Teachers are schooled to understand the significance of the different stages of language development and develop questioning strategies to allow all students the opportunity to actively participate. Scaffolding strategies are utilized to expand language experience. Teachers find a way to engage the learner and encourage participation.
In the development of lessons teachers pay particular attention to a number of areas. These components of S.D.A.I.E. lessons include hands-on activities, guarded vocabulary, cooperative learning and visual clues. Included in lesson design, teachers would also concern themselves with student organizational skills and student study skills.
Hands-on activities engage the learner in meaningful experiences so students comprehend the concepts the teacher is trying to convey. Part of its objective would be to help students link key vocabulary to the experience. Guarded vocabulary is somewhat of a catch-all phrase that encompasses a wide assortment of teacher behaviors surrounding language. Teachers are conscious of the selection of language used, how it will be introduced, practiced and incorporated into all components of their lessons. Teachers scan text materials for their content vocabulary and decide which terms might cause further comprehension problems in instruction and direction ( support vocabulary). The teacher provides activities, games and other low stress activities to build and work on this new vocabulary. S.D.A.I.E. teachers constantly monitor their rate of speech, syntax and language structure. Pre-reading activities are laced with appropriate questioning strategies that tap in to prior knowledge and experience, make concessions for language levels and promote critical thinking. Reading and writing activities are considered for the most part, guided activities. Teachers provide graphic organizers and other tools to help prepare and support students work and promote success. The third component of lesson design is using cooperative learning strategies. Cooperative learning takes advantage of student strengths and builds upon student weaknesses. Small teams, which is characteristic of cooperative learning, can reduce stress or lower the affective filter. The affective filter or student stress levels has been shown to interfere with language acquisition. Cooperative learning provides peer support, exposes students to other ways to solve complex problems, develops social skills and provides an excellent vehicle to practice oral language skills. Part of the peer support might be pairing students with the same primary language for translation when S.D.A.I.E. strategies fail to give enough comprehensible input! Last on this list are visual clues. These visual clues provide literally a visual way to describe key words and concepts. Teachers may find pictures, models, manipulatives, gestures and body language, realia (the real stuff), or demonstrations to represent the concept. The idea is to simply make abstract concepts concrete. Visual clues should be used in all aspects of the lessons including lectures and even assessment. Curricular materials should be sought after that reflects such methodology. One such program out there at present is Houghton Mifflins K-6 science program, DiscoveryWorks 2000. In this program the publisher went out of their way to provide all of these methods within the program and adds suggestions in practically every lesson for teachers to explore and try to help their English Language learners.
S.D.A.I.E. methodology forces the teacher to scrutinize every aspect of their lesson delivery system. In essence, it makes us better teachers. We learn to frequently check our students for understanding, monitor how well we are presenting materials and how well we are meeting the needs of the variety of learners we face every day. As one of my colleagues so aptly put it, these students are language different, not learning disabled. I just have to find the right way to present my lessons so they understand and can prove it to me. In a very real sense, the world is shrinking, and with it, we are becoming less isolated. With this lack of isolation, we must be prepared to accept and welcome peoples with different beliefs, backgrounds, and languages into our society. With this welcome, we will need to provide a vehicle within our educational system for students to acquire English so that they may continue their education and learn the language of their new country. As the newest members of the United States of America, English will be a tool they will need to be successful in business and the communities in which they live. S.D.A.I.E. seems to provide some of the most viable and effective ways for students to learn English.

Arrogate Prevails in Classic Showdown with 'Chrome' on Breeders' Cup
By Bob Ehalt

ARCADIA, Calif. – It was the stretch duel everyone expected. But not the finish.
The prestigious race for the $6 million purse came down to a private battle between the two favorites, but in the end it was the younger second choice who prevailed, as Juddmonte Farms' Arrogate slipped past 4-5 favorite California Chrome in the final yards to post a half-length victory in the Breeders' Cup Classic on Saturday November 5, 22016 at Santa Anita Park before a crowd of 72,811.
A front-running winner of the Travers by a monstrous 13 ½ lengths in just his fifth career start and stakes debut, Arrogate proved his track record-breaking effort at the Spa was no fluke in defeating the pre-race favorite for Horse of the Year honors.
Fifth after the opening quarter-mile in the $6 million Breeders' Cup Classic, Arrogate was not fazed by the change of tactics as he and jockey Mike Smith made up a length and a half in the final furlong on the formidable 2014 Kentucky Derby/Preakness winner and surged to victory for trainer Bob Baffert.
"I thought he had no chance to catch California Chrome," said Baffert after winning the Breeders' Cup Classic for a record third straight time and posting a 14th win at the World Championships. "I didn't think he could win until the final 20 yards. This horse is still learning how to run. I'm surprised I beat California Chrome.
"It was an incredible race by two incredible horses. This is what the Breeders' Cup is all about."
For Smith, the Classic was his 25th Breeders' Cup win and a race that made him a full-fledged fan of a colt who no doubt wrapped up an Eclipse Award for the champion 3-year-old male by becoming the first horse to win both the Travers and BC Classic.
"I became a fan in the final 20 yards. I was in awe of the horse he beat," Smith said. "This horse has so much stamina for a young 3-year-old. He's relentless. What a talent!"
For California Chrome, the loss snapped a six-race winning streak that included victory in the Dubai World Cup and Pacific Classic, but did little to tarnish his standing as a horse brilliant enough to be North America's all-time leading money earner and the leading contender for 2016 Horse of the Year honors.
"We had no excuses," trainer Art Sherman said. "He ran his eyeballs out."
Some 10 ¾ lengths behind California Chrome, Keen Ice edged Hoppertunity for third by a neck.
The 9-5 second choice in the wagering, Arrogate paid $5.40 to win for covering the mile and a quarter in 2:00.11.
In other Breeders' Cup races on Saturday:
Tepin fell short in her bid to post back-to-back victories in the Breeders' Cup Mile as her late rally left her a half-length behind Tourist at the wire.
The champion turf female of 2015, Tepin had an eight-race win streak snapped when she ran second in the Grade 1 First Lady at Keeneland and was sent off as the 7-2 second-choice in a field of 14 on Saturday. There was conjecture the loss indicated the 5-year-old mare had lost a step, but she turned in a sharp effort in a race in which having to rally four-wide on the turn cost her some valuable ground.
"She ran a huge race," trainer Mark Casse said. "Everybody was counting her out and she showed she's still got it."
Owned by WinStar Farm, Wachtel Stable, and Gary Barber, Tourist is trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott.

Hometown: Singapore
High School: Singapore American School
Major/Minor: Neuroscience major, premed track
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Activities: Community Friends Program, GlobeMed, theater, Cell Biology TA, Reslife
Study Abroad? (have you, or are you planning on it, where/when?): Most likely fall of 2014, somewhere in Latin or Central America.
Why did you choose Middlebury?
Something about Middlebury really resonated with me after my campus tour. I got the impression that students here really cared about what they were doing academically but also really cared about each other – and I thought that was really special. Also, because I had attended international schools for most of my life, I knew that I wanted a place with a close-knit yet still diverse community, and it was clear to me that Middlebury offered that. I applied here early decision and have never looked back.
Why/How did you choose your major?
I knew the summer after my sophomore year of high school that I was interested in studying neuroscience after attending a camp and taking classes introducing me to the field. I had always been interested in biology and psychology, and neuroscience is the integration of those two things into one field of study. The neuroscience major at Middlebury was especially appealing to me, though, because of its interdisciplinary nature. It combines classes from the psychology, biology, and philosophy departments into one major in order to allow us to gain different perspectives on how to understand human nature, and I think that is really unique and invaluable.
What was your biggest challenge transitioning into the college atmosphere?
It was (and is still) really difficult for me to maintain a good balance between academics and social life. I think people at Middlebury generally put academics first, but there are always temptations to put work on hold in order to spend more time with friends or attend all of the cool activities that are going around on campus (and there are a ton!).
What is your fondest memory of Middlebury thus far?
There are too many! But if I had to pick, I would say it was this past spring when the weather finally turned nice and I spent one weekend outside the entire time with friends instead of doing work. We played Frisbee, went to barbecues, lounged, and just had an incredible time enjoying the beautiful Vermont spring weather and each other's company.
What is your favorite class you've taken here?
That would probably be my first year seminar, Sophocles and Athens. My professor, Pavlos Sfyroeras, is one of the most wonderful people I've ever met, and some of my best friends at Middlebury came from that class. It was also a class completely different from anything that I've ever taken, and it was really neat to be able to explore a new field among a group of friends.
What do you do in your spare time?
I mainly spend time with friends – eating long meals in the dining halls, going into town, or spending time outside (skiing in the winter, playing Frisbee or other sports in the fall and spring). Other than that I catch up on the latest episodes of Modern Family or take lots of naps.
Which Harry Potter character would you be and why?
Neville Longbottom. He transitioned from a socially awkward and ridiculed little chubster into the hero of the story.
You're taking a cross-country road trip: which Middlebury professor do you bring along and why?
I would definitely bring Pavlos Sfyroeras. He was my first year seminar professor (and my advisor) and he is one of the kindest and most pleasant people I've ever met. He is also incredibly knowledgeable and would be able to whip out historical facts left and right.
One piece of advice you would give prospective students in the admissions process?
Don't get caught up in the 'name' or rankings of a school. Pick a place that you can imagine yourself thriving in – that's the most important thing of all. This might mean that you have to be a little introspective and ask yourself what you want from a school, and what type of environment you think you personally need in order to be happy and make the most of your college experience. But once you do that, everything will get a lot easier and you'll be able to make the right decision for yourself.

Suggested New Vocabulary for Disaster Newscasters
Old Vocabulary: Conglomerate
The refugees are conglomerating on the buses
In geology, a conglomerate is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of largeish, rounded to sub-rounded chunks, cemented together in a matrix of smaller grains. I'm sure the metaphor is apt, and people are indeed being packed on buses to the point of cementation. But more specific technical terms exist which would provide more information in the same amount of space – surely useful for reporters who can't spend more than a sentence talking about such a disastrous situation without breaking into tears.
New Vocabulary: Fanglomerate, Brecciate
A fanglomerate is a specific type of conglomerate, namely one that has formed in an alluvial fan, where a fast-flowing mountain stream exits onto the plain in a series of shifting braided channels. Although well-developed alluvial fans capable of forming nice fanglomerates are typically found in arid regions, and not in New Orleans (deltas are something different), the process of alluvial deposition could be a useful metaphor for, say, piles of people near the entrance to the convention center.
The term breccia, meanwhile, is complementary to conglomerate. While a conglomerate consists of pebbles that've been knocked around a while and had their sharp edges worn away, a breccia is formed of jagged pieces, often freshly torn by a volcano, landslide, or other traumatic event. It is thus more appropriate to say that gangs of violent youth are brecciating in the city center, or that orphaned children are brecciating on buses, and so on.

Oak Ridge Manor has community garden for its residents
by Jane Lightbourn Staff writer
Even though the new white picket fence is made of modern, more durable material, it still brings the same park-like charm to the Oak Ridge Manor building.
About 10 Oak Ridge Manor residents have their own garden plots in the fenced-in area. They are obviously doing something right (with the help of Mother Nature) - the vegetables and flowers are thriving.
Oak Ridge Manor has offered its residents gardening opportunities for about the past seven years. Several years ago, Hastings High School students built raised beds for residents who have some mobility problems.
The garden has been a hit. Most of the 10 gardeners this year have done it in previous years and enjoy it.
The most popular crop? "Tomatoes" was the response.
Some vegetables have already been harvested, including turnips, lettuce and beets.
The gardens are well-kept, but it is a constant struggle.
"We grow weeds almost as well as the vegetables," said one resident.
"There is something about fresh vegetables," said another resident. "The store ones just don't compare."
"Plus, we have a sense of accomplishment," said a resident. "And of course there can be that sense of failure."
Building manager Al Risberg said the fence was added this spring.
"It is designed to thwart the numerous bunny rabbits that romp across the lawns looking for treats," he said.
While the gardeners enjoy the fruits of their effort, they also share with other residents in the building. A table in the community room is designated for that purpose. "Why let it go to waste?" asked one.

Everyone is talking about big data, but sometimes the things you hear people say aren't always strictly accurate. Adaptive Computing's Al Nugent, who co-wrote "Big Data for Dummies" (Wiley, 2013) has written a blog called "Big Data: Facts and Myths" at http://www.adaptivecomputing.com/blog-hpc/big-data-facts-myths/ – I thought it would be interesting to hear what he has to say.
He says: "there has been an explosion in the interest around big data (and big analytics and big workflow). While the interest, and concomitant marketing, has been exploding, big data implementations have proceeded at a relatively normal pace." He goes on to say: "One fact substantiated by the current adoption rate is big data is not a single technology but a combination of old and new technologies and that the overarching purpose is to provide actionable insights. In practice, big data is the ability to manage huge volumes of disparate data, at the right speed and within the right time frame to allow real-time analysis and reaction. The original characterization of big data was built on the 3 Vs:
- Volume: the sheer amount of data
- Velocity: how fast data needs to be ingested or processed
- Variety: how diverse is the data? Is it structured, unstructured, machine data, etc.
"Another fact is the limitation of this list. Over the course of the past year or so others have chosen to expand the list of Vs. The two most common add-ons are Value and Visualization. Value, sometimes called Veracity, is a measure of how appropriate the data is in the analytical context and is it delivering on expectations. How accurate is that data in predicting business value? Do the results of a big dataanalysis actually make sense? Visualization is the ability to easily 'see' the value. One needs to be able to quickly represent and interpret the data and this often requires sophisticated dashboards or other visual representations.
"A third fact is big data, analytics and workflow is really hard. Since big data incorporates all data, including structured data and unstructured data from e-mail, social media, text streams, sensors, and more, basic practices around data management and governance need to adapt. Sometimes, these changes are more difficult than the technology changes.
"One of the most popular myths is the 'newness' of big data. For many in the technology community, big data is just a new name for what they have been doing for years. Certainly some of the fundamentals are different, but the requirement to make sense of large amounts of information and present it in a manner easily consumable by non-technology people has been with us since the beginning of the computer era.
"Another myth is a derivative of the newness myth: you need to dismiss the 'old database' people and hire a whole new group of people to derive value from the adoption of big data. Even on the surface this is foolhardy. Unless one has a green field technology/business environment, the approach to staffing will be hybridized. The percentage of new to existing will vary based on the size of the business, customer base, transaction levels, etc.
"Yet another myth concerns the implementation rate of big data projects. There are some who advocate dropping in a Hadoop cluster and going for it. 'We have to move fast! Our competition is outpacing us!' While intrepid, this is doomed to failure for reasons too numerous for this writing. Like any other IT initiative, the creation of big data solutions need to be planned, prototyped, designed, tested, and deployed with care."
I thought Al's comments were very interesting and worth sharing. You can find out more at Adaptive Computing's Web site.

Fans give Jackson rousing send-off
DETROIT — Even the veteran baseball writers in the Comerica Park press box watching the Tigers play the Chicago White Sox had never witnessed anything like it.
Tigers president and general manager Dave Dombrowski finished his phone call after completing his blockbuster trade for Tampa Bay ace David Price right before the non-waiver deadline.
Smyly, who started Thursday, was already out of the game, but Jackson was in center field.
With one out in the seventh inning, Ausmus came out to the field to tell home-plate umpire Tim Welke that he was taking Jackson out and putting Rajai Davis in center field.
Trades have been made during games before but no one could recall seeing a player taken out in the middle of an inning.
Jackson hugged Davis and third baseman Nick Castellanos while coming off the field. Then the rest of the Tigers embraced him in the dugout.
Jackson will be reunited with Seattle Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon, who was in Detroit from 2006-2013.
There's a chance that outfield Ezequiel Carrera could be brought up from Triple-A Toledo, where he's batting .307 with six home runs and 41 RBI in 97 games.
Watch the fond farewell for Jackson below:

TALLAHASSEE — Despite six rocky weeks on the recruiting trail that were defined by staff turnover, Florida State landed a recruiting class last week that was widely considered one of the nation's top 10. According to two recruiting services, three FSU assistant coaches played a big role in the team's success.
Rivals.com and 247Sports.com listed FSU's Jeremy Pruitt, Odell Haggins and Lawrence Dawsey among the country's best recruiters. Rivals.com listed Pruitt and Haggins in its top 25 earlier this week. Pruitt and Dawsey made 247Sports.com's top 50.

On New Year's Eve many US municipalities will be ringing in a bit more than 1983. At the stroke of midnight, areas whose air quality doesn't meet Clean Air Act standards will be subject to punishment by the federal government.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lists 472 counties whose atmosphere is not up to snuff. Critics claim EPA is simply swinging its switch around in the air to goad Congress into passing a lenient Clean Air Act rewrite.
But the issue remains stymied in Congress, as efforts to amend the Clean Air Act collapsed during the post-election session. Underlying the whole mess is the argument between industry and environmentalists over how clean an atmosphere America can afford.
Under the Clean Air Act, local air-quality control regions - usually counties - were required to meet certain standards for airborne particles and pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide by the end of 1982.
Any country whose overall atmosphere has too much of even one pollutant is subject to EPA retaliation. The environmental agency, for instance, could prevent construction of factories or other major sources of pollution. It could cut off funds for highway construction and clean air programs.
An EPA document drawn up in November listed 472 counties that need to clean up their act. But the agency is not about to cart off all these regions in a paddy wagon.
Kathleen Bennett, an EPA assistant administrator, says the agency will divide violators into two groups: the sincere ones, and the shirkers. Counties that have a ''high probability'' of soon meeting the standards will be spared the rod. Those are far behind in their cleanup efforts face discipline.
Only about 140 counties are in the second, at-risk category, says William Becker, executive secretary of the State and Territorial Air Pollution Program Administrators.
In any case, says Mr. Becker, EPA must lumber through a lengthy and complex process before it can slap sanctions on violators. ''We don't expect any real action until summer,'' he says.
Then there's the question of whether the EPA really has to play tough guy at all. EPA chief Anne Gorsuch says simply that her agency is bound to enforce the law - and that the law mandates sanctions.
''When you all start screaming, don't scream at me,'' she told an audience of state environmental officials this fall. ''Scream at Congress, because they're the only ones that can do anything about it.''
Congress doesn't necessarily agree. Sen. Robert Stafford (R) of Vermont, chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, says the law mandates punishment only for areas that really aren't trying to clean their atmosphere at all.
''The EPA, by imposing sanctions, could (in some cases) actually violate the law,'' says a congressional committee staffer.
Some feel the EPA may simply be bluffing in an attempt to force Congress to refurbish the Clean Air Act - something legislators tried to do all last year. But even with the December deadline staring them in the face, Congress members couldn't balance industry and environmental concerns and pass new clean air legislation.
The Senate environment committee passed a bill generally favorable to environmentalist concerns, but a House panel remained deadlocked over legislation that industry liked better, and a last effort to compromise during the post-election session failed.
Almost everyone involved agrees that the air-quality deadline should be relaxed. But Senator Stafford and many environmentalists want provisions added that would force new standards for hazardous pollutants and acid rain.
The administration, on the other hand, wants eased auto emission standards, and changes in the rules that protect already clean air from new sources of pollution. This point of view is also held by a key House member, Rep. John Dingell (D) of Michigan, chairman of the House committee considering the issue.
When the 98th Congress convenes, the Senate will probably move quickly on its bill. But the House, which remains split over the issue, will likely lag behind.
And the EPA's sanctions won't be forestalled by quick congressional action. Congressional sources say a Clean Air Act rewrite can't be wrapped up before Labor Day at the earliest.

Kareena's role in 'Kurbaan' similar to Katrina's in 'New York'?
Mumbai, Nov 19 (Inditop.com) Rumours are rife that Kareena Kapoor's role in "Kurbaan" is similar to Katrina Kaif's in "New York" — both the actresses are featured in near-identical roles of a wife who discovers her husband to be a closet-terrorist.
"Kurbaan" director Rensil D'Silva doesn't deny the similarities between the two films but doesn't comment on the similarity of the roles.
"If there are similarities between 'Kurbaan' and 'New York' then that's fine. I've high regards for Kabir Khan as a filmmaker. If 'Kurbaan' reminds audiences of Kabir's film then I'm fine with that. It has worthy recall-value," D'Silva told Inditop.
Releasing Friday, "Kurbaan" also stars Saif Ali Khan as a terrorist and Kareena plays his wife. Vivek Oberoi plays a pivotal role in the movie.
The director cautions that every work on terror and terrorism has its own mood and purpose.
"There can be any number of films on two people falling in love. It's about how the individual director interprets the emotion of love. Likewise with the theme of terrorism. It's open to a multitude of interpretations. I'd like to believe my film is essentially different from Kabir's," he said.

Even her feet were white and her heels looked so good on her... Aaaaah.
Suddenly, Ayesha got stuck at this point. Hina always used to wear high heels even if she had to climb the bus at times. OH GOD!! Hina was a short heighted girl and equally conscious about it that it was only platforms or heels or high pumps all the time in the university!! The fact struck her like a shock wave. Hina's height was just 5'1", while Ayesha stood hovering at 5'6"!! How can she miss such an obvious fact?
Each night after that she did the same practice. Her rival was the Dumb; the rectangle-the Drum, and the branches were the sound that came from it. The sounds of a dumb, complexed person who was most vocal. Each time she encountered all her invisible enemies from relatives and friends by targeting them in the Drum. She came out the winner. She was most capable afterall. She really wanted to tell this small yet wonderful and very effective technique to everyone!

I agree that is is one of the best LOGICAL arguments against homosexuality.
It is fair in it's arguments, without being demeaning or bashing gays and lesbians.
If you don't agree with what is being said, I think you are simply disagreeing on emotional grounds, as you can not get fairer than this.
I watched the video, and within the first minute there was a logical fallacy, comparing homosexuality to incest. There is NOTHING logical about this, it's the same ridiculous argument anti-gay people always resort to when they have nothing else logical to say. The same argument can be applied when comparing heterosexuality to incest ie Two consenting adults who have sex and may or may not love one another. What does that prove? Absolutely nothing. Don't even get me started on his completely retarded argument involving bestiality.. Probing the minds of animals to give consent to have sex with humans? The stupidity speaks for itself.
The person who made the video is obviously another idiot conservative who thinks he is intelligent by spewing the same nonsense we all have already heard a thousand times, and each time it still sounds even more ridiculous and illogical as before. And, as a liberal, I personally do not care if about incest, it doesn't effect me personally so I don't give damn who two consenting adults do. It's not like I could stop them even if I wanted to, which I don't. Find a new argument, because this one was clearly not logical.
....But it does NOT change my mind at all. There are valid reasons to why bestiality and incest are ILLEGAL. And overall, bringing in bestiality is WRONG, because animals are NOT in the same way as us! They don't have the same minds nor the same bodies and can't deliver themselves the way we do. It's completely different there. Now with incest, it's more similar, but the age of consent is COMPLETELY off. Morally, the big of an age difference is WRONG also. Especially if the kid is 16 - . It just isn't right.
In my words, it just made me more supportive towards the Gays and lesbians in our society.
I am for marriage rights being granted to ALL consenting adults. If to gay men (or women) fall in love and want to be married, let them. If close family members fall in love and want to be married, let them. Like many others, I am against bestiality because it is basically rape.
1. Incest between consenting adults I have no problem with. Not for me. Ew... But I have no problem with it. Even with birth defects to be consistent we would need to legislate against people with recessive disorders marrying or having sex with other people of the same disorder but we don't.
2. Bestiality
Problem, no consent. If we ever have technology or understanding to translate between animal and human effectively and can tell for sure when they consent then I'll support it as consent is the only problem here.
"Why would they object to incestuous relationships?"
Incest actually does have some legitimate problems besides just being "obscene" or "gross" and that is simply that the children can end up being mentally deficient, born with certain diseases or what not and even die at a younger age. These are legitimate concerns worth differentiating gay marriage from incest. Lets not compare the two, m'kay?
Then again I'm sure we let people with STDS get married So, actually, I guess I don't have a problem with incestual relationships being allowed so long as we emphasize that they need to be responsible.
"Why are our Liberal societies so hypocritical?"
Because people in general are amazingly hypocritical, and not just this supposed 'liberal society".
Speaking as the animal rights activist, yeah, there is a serious problem with this, and it's incredibly insulting to even be mentioned along the same lines as this act. A dog cannot say yes.
"That would classify all animal engagements as rape"
I'm quite doubtful how animals mate can be this simplified. Furthermore, we're humans, not animals. As a species our psychology is completely different.
"If you can probe a dogs mind"
Once more I would like to bring up that psychologically, they function very differently from us as a species. An animal may be able to say yes, but it's hard to say when they're being manipulated or just used as some kind of toy. How can we be certain that they aren't just being taken advantage of because they're far more simple creatures?
Two gay men are human. Psychologically, we're from the same book. A dog and a human, however, is like two different books on completely different shelves.
Whatever the case, I hope it becomes quite clear that on this matter my stance isn't based on any notion of it being 'gross' or 'obscene' but more out of concern for the well being of the animal. Because even if an animal has a sexual physical response, they still deserve enough respect to be treated better than a toy for someone elses amusement.
If we could probe their mind AND maybe communicate with them? Well, that's hard to say. You're basically speculating on something that's beyond me. I can't truly understand this context until I actually happen to live in that world. This matter isn't worth even bringing up until we acquire such technology.
The big problem I have with your argument is that more or less you seem to argue against these acts on the basis of them being "gross" than their actual merit. Furthermore, your argument seems to appeal a lot more to supposed hypocrisy than whether or not these things have merit. Lets say that these three things are on perfectly even ground (which they're not) and that people are certainly being hypocritical. All right then, but how does that prove that they're all inarguably wrong instead of just criticizing our fickle society?
Relationships are both socially acceptable, and yet disturbingly wild. Humans so easily accept male/female relationships is because for us, this results in more or us...Specifically children whom we are naturally programmed to love, even if they are not "ours". Humans and animals alike find attraction to practically anything depending on our own physical and biological traits and characteristics. Relationships and even sexual attraction to different sizes, shapes, colors and genders of other humans all stem from our biological processes. Neither humans nor animals alike can change what or who we are attracted to and like...It just so happens to be that the majority tend to follow a pattern...For us, it's male and female relationships due to the fact that we can ONLY reproduce in that way...And some of us can't even reproduce under these circumstances. Relationships are separate from sexual preference yet both commonly clash. Love is nothing more than a strong feeling towards someone..Or even something, but sexual relationships are no different, only in that it is socially normal for a man and woman to love each other AND have sex. Factually, relationships can be whatever the individuals heart and body desires, even sexual relationships. One cannot change what their biology tells them to accept. It may be weird, but even incest can be just as natural and meaningful as any other relationship.
As briantheliberal rightly points it, the logic of this video is flawed. While it does seem incredibly convincing there is one huge fault which invalidates all of its points. It argues that society sees homosexuality as being acceptable based upon the fact that two individuals which are of consenting age, both agree to sexual intercourse (because somehow being with someone guarantees you have sex with them) and that both may be in love with each other. It then says well basically incest and bestiality can be justified (according to "insane" liberals) if all these factors are present. However these arguments are flawed because they are the basis of a HETEROSEXUAL relationships. Think about it, why are "straight" relationships "justified"? Religion (overall) in itself argues that relationships should be based upon love and pro-creation (resulting in sex). In Christianity, one basis for marriage is to create children. And of course society as a whole deems that heterosexual relationships MUST be consensual. Turns out "these vague principles" pretty much apply to straight relationships too... I mean what other arguments are there really for straight relationships that CANNOT be applied to homosexual relationships, or interpreted in light of homosexual relationships? Oh and as for incest and bestiality, the fourth principle that this video stated cannot apply. (1) Incest results in genetic degradation and so it DOES harm the offspring. Contraceptive methods are never 100%, there is always the chance that incest sex could lead to a pregnancy. (2) The same could be applied to bestiality, cross-breeding could very well harm the offspring not to mention there is real debate as to whether animals can truly "love" one another, let alone a human.

Started working on a cribbage board for my Grandfather. I am using some walnut he sent me.
I printed out a hole pattern. The pattern I'm using did not fit on one piece of 8.5×11 paper so I had to print one end and then the other with a significant portion of the pattern overlapping. Easy enough, print both pages, align and tape together. No problem right?
So I printed the two pages out, lined them up, taped them together. Then using painters tape, I taped the pattern to my piece of walnut. I start using a finishing nail and hammer making starting divots to make sure I line my drill bit up accurately. (I know there are several other ways to do this, but this is the method I chose.)
So as not to lose track of where I am at, I am punching starting divots along the pegging pattern. I am nearly done when I realize that when I taped the two pages together I made one block of holes only four long (for those of you who play cribbage you will know they should be five hole blocks). Oh snap! Did I mention I was far enough along that this meant I had to start all over with a new piece of wood.
Okay. New piece of wood. Realign the pattern so all blocks of holes are in five hole groups. Good. Tape pattern down. Start punching holes again. Nearly done. Oh crap! I made the board 45 holes too long. I had overlapped the two pages too long!
Now to start all over again!

KENTVILLE, NS - Faced with a life or death battle against cancer, she stayed positive and she overcame.
Tanya Marie Olscamp of Middleton was diagnosed in November 2016 with aggressive breast cancer. The single parent of two had a local embroidery shop make her a hat with the word "Overcomer" on it for when she began chemotherapy treatments.
This gave her a sense of empowerment that she wanted to share with others. After her friends expressed that they wanted "Team Tanya" and "Overcomer" hats too, she decided to launch the "Hats for Courage Campaign."
The goal was to raise $2,000 to purchase 200 "Overcomer" hats to give to chemotherapy patients at Valley Regional Hospital. For every hat that was sold, one was purchased for a chemo patient. The campaign received support from as far away as California.
The campaign was a success and Olscamp overcame her cancer. She was able to purchase in excess of 200 hats, which were delivered to the cancer patient navigator and the oncology team leader on Nov. 30. She also gave some to fellow patients during her treatments and some went to chemo patients in other parts of the country.
Olscamp said there couldn't have been a more appropriate time to deliver the hats, knowing that she had just had her last oncology appointment. It provided a sense of closure. She said her heart was filled with love in that moment and she felt "amazing."
"It's been an incredible year. The hats were part of this whole journey for me," Olscamp said. "It was something that I could put my mind into, my heart into, and it helped so much in terms of keeping my mind positive and just keeping the positive in this journey."
Every patient an 'overcomer'
She said each chemotherapy treatment was like a mountain to overcome. Every person who gets through a treatment is an overcomer and she wanted to share that positive message with everyone else going through treatments, regardless of the individual prognosis.
Olscamp said she knows the hats are going where they're meant to go, keeping patients warm during chemo treatments and helping to empower them. So many go through the journey feeling isolated and alone.
"What I also hope for each patient who receives one is that they'll know that they're loved because the amount of love that went into collecting these hats by the donations and the community was incredible," she said.
Olscamp credits her faith with helping her keep such a positive attitude during her battle against cancer. She had an "inner knowing" that the experience would be so much more than a physical journey for her: it would be a spiritual journey as well.
She said she decided to love the cancer cells in her body with the hope that they would go away and she believes this has happened. Olscamp woke up every morning telling her self that she was cancer free, that she was healing easily and effortlessly and that she was going to live a long life.
"I never got out of bed before I finished saying those things to myself," she said.
Attitude 90 per cent of battle
Cancer patient navigator Dianna Hutt said it was amazing that Olscamp was consistently thinking of others throughout her journey to overcome cancer. They met after Olscamp called her and said that she wanted to raise money to buy Overcomer hats for chemotherapy patients at Valley Regional. The selfless act greatly impressed Hutt.
"90 per cent of the battle is attitude and her positivity, she had a smile everyday she came in for treatments," Hutt said. "It rubbed off on the patients sitting around her and how could they not smile too. She just brought joy with her every time she came."
Hutt said the hats look great and carry an important message but they're also very practical. The fact that Olscamp included a short write-up with each of the donated hats makes the gifts even more special.
Registered nurse Cathy Hale, oncology team leader, said it's been "totally amazing" watching Olscamp overcome cancer. She said they always learn from their patients and Olscamp has inspired them with the compassion she has demonstrated. She said the patients would love the hats.
"The support from each other, the patients, it just means so much to them," Hale said.
Olscamp "an inspiration"
Rachel MacLean said she and Olscamp have been great friends since she was First Lady in Waiting during Olscamp's time as Queen Annapolisa the 60th. MacLean was on hand to witness the hat delivery.
MacLean said Olscamp's mindset was that she was going to get through the ordeal looking, feeling and being healthy. At the same time, she expressed concern for everyone else. MacLean said Olscamp is an inspiration.
"There is certainly enough evidence in the power of positivity," MacLean said. "It can do really big things."
She said it was wonderful to see the "Hats for Courage Campaign" snowball. MacLean was very happy to be there as Olscamp delivered the hats following her friend's final oncology appointment. She said it was incredible to see Olscamp looking so vibrant.

Black Friday: Hope or Warning?
By: Rick Boxx
November 25, 2010
Have you ever wondered why the day after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday? According to Wikipedia, on Black Friday many retailers begin seeing black ink in their accounting ledgers, as they finally overcome their losses and begin seeing profits.
Many retail businesses I've counseled over the years have swallowed losses throughout the year with the hope that Christmas would make it all worthwhile. For some it may, but for others a profitable month may cause them to ignore the inevitable losses and increased debt January brings.
Proverbs 22:3 teaches, "The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty."
If your business model only works one month out of the year you may need to use this next month to seek refuge.

It looks like it's not just our waistlines that are getting larger from consuming a ton of High Fructose Corn Syrup. A new study shows that pancreatic cancer cells find fructose much easier to metabolize than glucose, making it easier for the cancer cells to grow, divide and multiply. [More]
Cancer Cells Get Fat From HFCS Too
Rise In Gout Blamed On Fructose In Soft Drinks
Gout sounds like something characters in Dickens novels get, but apparently it's a modern affliction as well—at least in the U.S. where the number of cases has doubled in the past few decades. Now researchers are saying that "Men who consume two or more sugary soft drinks a day have an 85% higher risk of gout compared with those who drink less than one a month."

By now most anyone who has ears & an internet connection, has seen this holographic performance by "2pac". The sheer awesomeness of this is enough to warrant attention from all corners of the world wide internets. But there's another aspect to this that immediately caught our attention, and more interestingly, sparked our imaginations: future applications of this technology.
How soon will we see holographic performances by Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Bob Marley or Frank Sinatra? Does this mean the end of cover bands and impersonators? We sorely hope the answer is no.
