By Jim Bahn, Senior Director, Product Marketing
Maybe I've been in the data storage business too long, but I remember the bad old days when customers routinely avoided deploying new storage products. Their fear was "how will this new technology perform, and will it perform reliably?" Even new firmware releases were met with resistance. I won't name names, but when I worked at a storage vendor we were always concerned when a major new array was announced. We knew we'd have a bad sales quarter because no one wanted to be a pioneer.
But that was a while ago. It's tempting to claim that the storage industry has stabilized, so changes are less risky, but that's not always true as the rate of innovation has dramatically accelerated over the past decade. If anything, the adoption of new solutions has hastened, with Software Defined, virtualization, converged, flash, capacity growth, cloud, big data, containers, new management techniques and lots more. So, what's changed to help enable this fast pace of change? From my point of view, vendors are getting smarter and they are simply getting better at delivering Quality on day one.
A significant part of delivering Quality is better testing and performance validation. VI's Load DynamiX platform is used by leading vendors, for QA, performance engineering, and customer support, to improve product scalability, reliability, and to accelerate time-to-market, at the same time, reducing risk. They use the Load DynamiX platform to model real-world application workloads and generate these workloads at extreme scale. They get unsurpassed modeling and load gen capability to validate modern storage systems with tremendous realism.
When I decided to write about this trend, it occurred to me that a better way to tell this story would be to get a vendor to tell it. So, I asked our field team for comments from a leading storage vendor, and you don't get any more "leading" than Dell EMC. Bob DeCrescenzo, Senior Vice President and General Manager of VMAX, Storage Division of Dell EMC, says "We have been using Load DynamiX in Dell EMC VMAX performance engineering labs to complement our internal benchmarking utilities. We have found that Load DynamiX provides a simple and straightforward way to run tests to obtain representative performance numbers. Moreover, real customer workloads exhibit variation over time, IO bursts, IO activity skew within and across volumes. Load DynamiX gives extensive controls over test definitions to create real life-like test profiles either by modifying synthetic workloads or by allowing a replay of workload files collected from existing arrays. We are able to replay customer workloads in our labs to troubleshoot and improve our system performance."
That says it pretty well. They get an automated test platform that gives them the ability to simulate real customer workloads, realistically, at huge scale. So, they can in turn give better guidance to their field teams and customers, concerning how an array will handle workloads and how much growth can be accommodated in both scale-up and scale-out architectures. They accelerate the pace of change, with less risk. Everyone wins.

Although touch user interfaces have been around since the 1960s, they did not take off in the consumer mainstream until 2007. The last five years have seen a widespread acceptation of touch user interfaces, and many mobile phone and PC manufacturers have launched their version of a touch user interface. However, all these user interfaces still feature a similar, somewhat limited touch interaction language. How will touch develop in the coming years? Will multi-user multi-touch become important? How does voice, stylus and even air evolve our vocabulary? Will 2D touch develop into 3D touch? This panel will discuss the possibilities, and make projections into the future. We encourage you to explore this and much more with us.. join the discussion!

The best part of front face is new sweeping, angular and a bit wrap-around classy headlamps that flank the chrome grill on either side. Bumper is now packed in some more muscles and with the extra body-kit (available on VX) looks quite rigid too.
At eacrdlr, we always get our adrenaline going with the very thought of subjecting the newly ventured vehicle on our stringent road-test parameters. However the kind of rush that we felt in our veins the moment we set out to test the all new City, 4th generation of Honda's most popular sedan in India, was simply unprecedented. And it is not only we who got the goose pimples while settling behind the wheels of new City as we were quite confident that even Honda had been going through this high-anxiety phase even as it winded up the hectic launch schedule of its 4th generation City sedan. The reason for this over-excitement is quite obvious as this new Honda City, with its first ever diesel heart, has got a lot riding on its shoulders. Bogged down by competition for almost last half a decade, Honda has now pinned all its revival hopes on this new City that had single-handedly furling the company's flag in the Indian market even amidst the worst ever possible situations. Now not only this 4th generation City has to live up to the rich legacy of its predecessor, it also has to draw a chunk of market share that Honda had consistently lost to its arch rivals simply because of strange absence of an oil-burner in its portfolio for such a long time. Although City's sibling; Amaze has brought in some relief for this Japanese auto major in terms of sales figures, it is actually this car; new City that the company looks up to in order to get its golden days back; time when Honda was used to be a leader in every segment it was present. The most obvious talk of the town about this new City is its diesel heart sitting under sculpted and whittled nose that has already shown its potential inAmaze. Although hailed for its efficiency and drivability, the only fly in the ointment is its noisy nature that becomes quite obtrusive once it gets revved beyond the mid-range. Honda has acknowledged this low-refinement chink in the Amaze's armour and said to have worked upon it to improve its net levels of Noise-vibration-harshness NVH in new City. Along with this improved refinement aspect; City also claims to come with best-in-class mileage and interior space that further intensified our interests to put this all new creature under most stringent scrutiny ever faced by any vehicle at eacrdlr. Now whether this new City comes clean on the poor refinement allegations levelled on i-DTEC in Amaze along with coming close to the inflated claims on performance-mileage aspect in reality or not is something that everybody is wondering to know about? Answer however is not all that tough as you simply need to read further our comprehensive road test of diesel City to get every bit and byte of the investigation report carried out by credible and dependable team of experts at eacrdlr. We are sure at the end you will be able to finally judge yourself whether this is finally the Honda you have been waiting for or not.
New City: Cutting-edge style
Elegant Headlamps
Side view of the City is dominated by the sweeping high shoulder line that originates from tail lamp cluster and going all the way down to the front doors. There is also been another character line just above the side skirts that gives way to a muscular profile look to City. Window line is quite high; higher than the previous City resulting in lower glass area in this latest iteration of City. Tyres on the new City feel quite skinny especially when compared directly against the overall muscular and solid pretensions of the car though it seems Honda has prioritized fuel-efficiency upon all other aspects.
Sleek side profile with ORVMs' with indicators
Rear of the City is its most striking design part as the new City looks quite reminiscent to BMW profile; thanks to its spilt and wrap-around tail lamps design. Chrome treatment at rear too makes good case for itself especially compared with the front grill treatment meted out to City. Shark fin antenna looks classy and top of the line variant VX has also got goodie of sun roof.
Pulling it together, Honda City looks terrific and tremendously gorgeous in its flesh. Except for its skinny tyres and heavily chromed front grill, we were not able to find any mistake in this new augmented market proposition. New City is sure to invite the stares and that is a good thing to start with.
Being in the premium sedan category, Honda has to come up with perfect combination of both luxury and space as the level of customers' discernment has reached to a new high in previous years. Company seems to have got the pulse of customers as we were just blown away with the overall cabin ambience and more importantly by the space aspect of the new Honda City.
For starters, top model of City comes with smart key that allows you to slip inside without using the key. Now new addition in this convenience aspect is that passenger side has alsogot the request sensor that is excellent and handy touch. Interior colour theme consists of amalgamation of black and beige with silver accents inserted in the dash board and centre console. A part of the centre console also dressed in piano black finish that feels quite upmarket and luxurious. That said, the new City still lacks the cohesiveness and integrity of design theme. The air-convents at centre are placed at different height than the side vents. Music system, AC controls and vents though seem to align in row though the symmetry lack the precision of competitors' design integrity. Now although these things are not ergonomically faulted, still the aesthetic connectivity between these parts are quite in question.
Black-piano finish
Coming to equipment list, City comes loaded to the gill as all modern gadgets-gizmos have made their way in this new City. Engine stop-start button, automatic climate control with touch sophistication, music system with DVD/CD/MP3/Radio/Bluetooth/USB/AUX-in, chunky steering wheel with mounted controls, large and very readable instrument cluster, airbags, ABS with EBD, electrically operated OVRMs' with integrated side-indicators, tilt-adjust sun roof and the list just goes on.
Now if one department we can name where City has an absolute edge over its rivals, it is room and space as City outperforms ever segment higher cars in this space virtue. Front seats are very roomy and hugging as well but it is the rear bench that will blow your mind with its extraordinary space and comfort. Even with front seats stretching all the way to the back, rear bench of new City is heaven with truck-loads of all-around space. Seat pad stretches all the way up to knees giving a very good thigh support while tremendous amount of legroom and knee room gives you choice to sit even with folded knees. Even the head room is quite generous and the chauffer-driven is definitely going to be enjoying their ride at the rear seat of new City.
Voluminous boot space
Coming to trunk space, Honda designers again come with just the ticket with best in class 510 litres of boot space. The loading lip is bit high though the opening aperture is quite wide. Unfortunately the second bench of seat doesn't fold up but there is quite enough space in the trunk to even swallow up the week long luggage of your trip. Spare tyre is neatly concealed under the boot and is ordinary wheel not an alloy one.
1.5-litre i-DTEC engine
Ambling around in traffic in new City is quite a child's play as grunt is available right from the start. Even without the use of variable geometry turbocharger as expected, City does reasonably good job with the fixed geometry as there is always more than enough power is available at user's disposal. So for city driving, Honda's City is quite a perfect machine.
Even out on the highway, City feels quite relaxed and eager to rev though the sore point of high engine noise is quite evident in this Honda machine too like Amaze. We had expected this City to come with some more noise insulation material especially as this has been a thing of concern in case of Amaze customers. Now despite of mounted criticism, Honda has failed to address this demerit and once you start wide opening this oil-burner, you are sure to get confronted with high engine noise seeping inside the cabin.
Diesel heart of the City is mated with 6-speed manual transmission while there has also been an automatic on offer with the petrol motor. The added overdrive gear in City helps the car to extract extra juice from the diesel and that's make it India's most fuel-efficient car with ARAI certified figures of 26 km/l. Gear shift quality, like other Hondas', is slick and very reassuring though it will take some time for you to get used to this; especially while shifting from 2nd to 3rd and then to 5th one. Clutch is reasonably light and it is at par with the competition. Brakes bite well and ABS with EBD mechanism is sure aid the overall safety aspect of the City.
Honda continues to use MacPherson strut with coil spring up front and torsion beam axle coil spring at the rear in terms of suspension hardware along the lines of older generation City. 175 mm wide rubber has been shrouded on 15" alloy wheels that simply looks skinny and make the whole look of City under-tyred. At slow speeds, City's nature is in stark contrast to the current king of segment; Verna as City feels quite stiffly sprung. In comparison to Verna that seems to be gone overboard in terms of excessive soft ride quality, City feels a bit fidgety at lower whack. That said, once the speed increases, City quickly gets its composure back and from then the ride becomes quite excellent. At high speeds, City takes everything in its stride with aplomb and masks all road undulations and scars with finesse. Even the potholes can be approached with least care as suspension seems to take care of big as well as small road dissections.
McPherson up front suspension
On handling front too, City is commendable car and despite being longer than outgoing model, it behaves in quite predictable manner. Even on twisty roads, the chassis feels in line with the controls orders as rear portion quickly traces the line. Further the steering accuracy, braking prowess and small rear three quarter profile helps City to behave like a mature car on the road.
If the prices of Amaze were anything to go by, we expected Honda to price City competitively and we are relieved to find out that company has indeed priced sensitively. OK the price range that starts from Rs 7.42 lakh for base petrol variant to Rs 11.10 for top end VX MT diesel model is not something that can be called exceptional value for money (VFM) but then it doesn't pinch your bank account sharply either. In fact base petrol is price quite competitively however top end diesel model is a bit prices but then its extra-ordinary equipment list and safety aspect almost justifies its price. New City diesel has been a leap forward in terms of Honda's assessment and understanding of Indian market. The company has finally changed its track from being arrogant and premium-charging company to now sensibly, listening and a bit value for money making products. Now after generating enough euphoria and hoopla around the launch of City, Honda has got its work cut out. Company has to ramp up the production of City; especially diesel model in order to get the customers' weaning away from its sedan in case if there is long waiting periods. This is one and only potential deterrent we see at this point of time that may stop the City's sales ride which otherwise seems to be heading only towards north.

- Perform a comprehensive literature review of your research area
- Design appropriate experiments to reach your goals and objectives
- Conduct well-planned experiments
- Analyze your data to understand and interpret your results
- Present your findings in poster, oral and written formats
- Thoughtfully critique the work of your peers
- Stay current with developments in the field by attending weekly seminars featuring invited speakers who will present current and on-going research
Time Commitment: Advanced independent study requires a strong commitment to your scholarship and then conscientiousness necessary to participate in an "unstructured" course. Bear in mind that your time commitment is expected to exceed that of a standard Bowdoin course--you will need to spend an average of 10-15 hours a week to meet the above objectives.
Seminars: Thursdays 4:20pm-5:20pm, Druckenmiller 20 (Biology Department series)
Fridays 3:00-4:00pm, Druckenmiller 20 (Chemistry Department Series)
Students should attend either a Biology or a Chemistry seminar once a week, choosing the most appropriate for their research area. Attendance is mandatory. If you have a compelling reason to be absent, please seek permission from your research advisor.
Assignments: Your adherence to Fall and Spring (below) deadlines is expected:
Evaluation: The Biochemistry faculty has high expectations of the quality of work produced by all senior research students, and these expectation are elevated for those working toward Honors. Your grade on your independent study project will reflect your efforts in all elements of the research experience documented above and you active participation in the biochemistry research community. Your progress toward achieving the stated objectives of the research experience will be formally evaluated by the biochemistry faculty mid-year and once again at the conclusion of the year. At these points, the faculty will identify strengths and limitations in your progress and performance and either your advisor or a representative biology faculty member will provide recommendations for addressing any concerns in progress. The following criteria will be used to evaluate your performance and progress:(i) your engagement in the project; (ii) independence in the laboratory/field analysis (which we expect will be enhanced over the two semesters); (iii) your ability to incorporate feedback from your advisor in written and oral assignments; (iv) the final quality of your written and oral assignments. See Mid-Year Feedback Form.
Grades: Grades for Biochem 4000+ are awarded by your faculty advisor. For students undertaking a yearlong project, faculty members often submit a grade of "S" (satisfactory) for the first semester grade. This grade is then replaced by a final grade at the completion of the year. The convention for grading should be discussed with your advisor. See Mid-Year Feedback Form.
Honors: Honors is a distinction awarded at the end of the year to advanced independent study students whose projects merit this recognition, as determined by the Biochemistry Program. Students who receive this distinction for their work must meet eligibility standards (such as grade requirements), must participate in required honors activities (such as attending and engaging in seminars), must present their project in the required oral and written formats (as noted above), and must demonstrate, through their independent engagement in the project, their ability to plan and execute experiments, their ownership of the project and relevant literature, and through the quality of their final thesis, that their project has risen to a level worthy of receiving the award of Honors.
For students pursuing Honors in Biochemistry, you will receive feedback regarding your project with information about areas where you are or are not meeting the expectations for an Honors project. Following your successful completion of two semesters of independent study (e.g. Biochemistry 4000 and 4001), the program will assess whether your final thesis can be recommended for Honors. If you achieve honors, the registrar will switch the course numbers on your transcript to 4050 and 4051.
Honors vs. Independent Study:
The major differences between honors and independent study projects are:
- Only honors candidates present posters/talks during reading period.
- Independent study papers do not need to meet the library formatting requirements.
- Only honors projects are reviewed by faculty members other than your advisor.
Talk with your advisor about whether there are other differences specific to work in her/his research group.
Research Proposal
This 1-2 page paper will outline the subject of the research, the questions to be addressed, and will include a breif description of the proposed experiments. Please consult with your advisor for details.
Preliminary Research Paper ("Fall paper")
The Fall preliminary research paper will generally include:
- An introduction to the research problem (with appropriate review of the scientific literature and citations)
- A brief summary of the goals of the project
- Brief descriptions of:
- Methods used
- Results to date (preliminary discussion? some interpretation?)
- Plans for the continuation of the research in the spring semester
Details of the format and length of this paper should be determined in a discussion between the faculty advisor and the student.
The Biochemistry Program recommends that you talk with your advisor early in the fall semester about whether to set additional deadlines. Such deadlines are particularly helpful for people who are more comfortable with more structure, who are inclined toward procrastination, or who find writing or reading the literature particularly challenging.
Possible intermediate deadlines you could set with your advisory include those for:
- Writing a short project description.
- Assembling an annotated bibliography of papers relevant to your project
- Writing an outline for your preliminary research paper
- Exchanging a draft of your paper with a fellow student for feedback
- Submitting a preliminary draft of your paper to your advisor

ITV / PBS's Downton Abbey Season 4 Episode 1 TV Show Review. Downton Abbey: Season 4, Episode 1: featured a stand-in for Sarah O'Brien (Siobhan Finneran) leaving in the early morning hours, leading into a morose but fitting beginning title sequence. The abbey was in mourning (or at least some of its occupants) and the foggy, pre-dawn title sequence reflected this plot point.
Nanny West (Di Botcher) was hilarious in all her brevity. She had no idea who she was dealing with when she began to butt heads with Thomas Barrow (Rob James-Collier). What set their confrontation apart from others was that Thomas was faced with a version of himself that was even more full of itself.
The baby talk-down sequence was completely out of the blue. How does someone "low born" look down upon someone born into privilege? It was intriguing to see Nanny West's class hatred come out, especially considering who she was and where she came from. Her scramble to "spin" her deleterious words provided both drama and black humor during her swan song.
The staircase scene between Lady Edith Crawley (Laura Carmichael) and Lady Mary Crawley (Michelle Dockery) was a single act play between two characters that could barely stand each other. Whenever something bad or adverse happens to Lady Mary, her bad side comes out. It didn't fail to this time as she endeavored to kindle guilt and shame in her sibling (her emotionless stare was fantastic). It was a true-to-nature manipulation and Lady Edith was fully aware of it.
That dark side showed itself again with Mr. Carson (Jim Carter) but their background and candor allowed him to speak his mind ("over-stepping the mark") instead of holding his tongue. Carson is the old friend that tells Lady Mary the truth to her face, whether she wants to hear it or not. If he doesn't, most-likely, no one will.
Edna Braithwaite (MyAnna Buring) showed herself to be very shrewd with how and where she arranged her interview to be Countess Cora Crawley (Elizabeth McGovern)'s new lady's maid. The question of: "What does she hope to gain, besides a pay check and security, from going back to Downton?" was answered quickly by members of the abbey's staff? Writer Julian Fellowes hopes for drama. The good reference not withstanding, Braithwaite left the abbey during season 3 under dubious circumstances. Her presence will bring those incidents back to the surface again.

My son went to a Grammar school tbh was a bit posh, a good school they had some strict rules on hair couldn't have it shorter than a 2 but you could have it as long as you like and as greasy as you liked. He had a couple of probs with one of the teachers so instead of going to the six form he went to a local college where he got the grades he needed he is now studying politics at Salford uni well between parties etc.
We see at most Chelsea home games and the away games that we go to particularly in the Manchester area.
good luck sorting it out mate.

Submitted by: J. H.
Alleged victims: (In general, English-speaking members of the Canadian Armed Forces)
State party concerned: Canada
Date of communication: 1 February 1985
The Human Rights Committee, established under article 58 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,
Meeting on 12 April 1985,
adopts the following:
Decision on admissibility
1. The author of the communication dated 1 February 1985 is J. H., a Canadian national and retired member of the Canadian Armed Forces, living in Ontario, Canada. He alleges that promotion policies in the Canadian Armed Forces are discriminatory and constitute a violation by Canada of article 5, paragraph 1, of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
2.1 It is alleged that Administrative Order 11-6 (1975) of the Canadian Armed Forces, which provides for an increased percentage of officers and soldiers of French mother tongue, has resulted in discrimination on the basis of language, tantamount to a form of racial discrimination, since English- and French-speaking persons in Canada are of two different ethnic origins. It is alleged that persons of French mother tongue are preferred for promotion within all ranks of the Armed Forces, to the corresponding disadvantage of persons of English mother tongue.
2.2 In late 1978, shortly before his retirement in April 1979, the author, who is of English mother tongue, began his endeavours to point out what he considered to be the linguistic and racial discrimination being practised in the promotion policy of the Canadian Armed Forces. He wrote letters to several opposition Members of Parliament and to two successive Ministers of National Defence. In June 1980 he filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission (a statutory body created by federal legislation to administer the Canadian Human Rights Act).
2.3 In 1984, a new administrative order was promulgated (2-15 of 29 June 1984), under which "mother tongue" was no longer to be used to determine the participation ratio of English- and French-speaking members of the Canadian Armed Forces. The reference to 'mother tongue' was replaced by 'first official language'. The author submits that the change was intended to answer the criticism of the prevailing promotion policy. He asserts, however, that the change was only cosmetic and that the same promotion policy continues to be applied today and that the only difference is the manner in which the English and French language and origin are defined.
2.4 As a result of the reworded promotion policy, the Canadian Human Rights Commission felt that there were no longer any grounds for potential ethnic or racial discrimination and informed the author that it would not make a decision in the complaint brought by him. J. H. points out in this connection that there is no legislation in Canada prohibiting discrimination on the basis of language (neither the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, part of the Canadian Constitution, nor the Canadian Human Rights Act includes linguistic discrimination as a prohibited practice). He further submits that the conclusion of the Canadian Human Rights Commission to the effect that there was no discrimination is not a 'decision" on which an appeal to the courts could be made. He finally mentions that further correspondence with Members of Parliament and other persons in positions of authority have produced no results.
2.5 There is no specific indication in the communication that the author has himself been adversely affected by the policy which he complains about. He requests that his complaint be examined and that the Government of Canada be advised "that it is actually discriminating against English-speaking Canadians in implementing its incentive programmes to assist French-speaking Canadians'.
3. Before considering any claims contained in a communication, the Human Rights Committee shall, in accordance with rule 87 of its provisional rules of procedure, de~ide whether or not it is admissible under the Optional Protocol to the Covenant.
4.1 The Committee notes that articles 1 and 2 of the Optional Protocol require that the author of a communication must himself claim, in a substantiated manner, that he is or has been a victim of a violation by the State party concerned of any of the rights set forth in the Covenant. It is not the task of the Human Rights Committee, acting under the Optional Protocol, to review in abstracto national legislation or practices as to their compliance with obligations imposed by the Covenant.
4.2 The author of the present communication has not put forward any facts to indicate that he has himself been a victim of discrimination in violation of the provisions of the Covenant. An allegation to the effect that past or present promotion policies are generally to the detriment of English-speaking members of the Canadian Armed Forces is not sufficient in this respect. The Committee, accordingly, concludes that the author has not shown that he has a claim under article 2 of the Optional Protocol.
5. The Human Rights Committee therefore decides:
The communication is inadmissible.

Chicago Violence: What is the Real Solution?
I am not an Obama hater. I think that he has an opportunity to change the world and so far, he has fallen short. I know that part of that is that there was so much wrong in the world that he couldn't fix it all, but I think he has poor strategy, inexperienced advisors, and incomplete execution of his plans.
I say all that because I don't want you to think that I am posting this article for the sole purpose of bashing Obama. The article I read this morning regarding the violence in Chicago neighborhoods (see sidebar) sheds an interesting light on the dynamics of children, of neighborhoods, on gangs, on schools and on the ridiculousness of bureaucracy running our lives. I'm not Libertarian, but I definitely ascribe to some of their ideas.
Just like workers often feel like their boss is clueless to the day-to-day trials of a job, the city, state and federal governments have no idea what is best for a neighborhood. I realize that you would think that city governments know what is best, but they don't. They are clueless to the day-to-day happenings on the streets, in the school and in homes. The government bodies act as one unit - that unit does not know one single person that its choices impact.
I'm not implying that I think schools should be segregated by gangs to avoid violence. But I am pointing out that whomever made the choice to redistrict these schools obviously had no idea the impact it would have on the day-to-day life of the children involved.
And now that the brutal death of a child was recorded on a cell phone video camara for all the nation to see, Obama is sending the SAME guy who made the decision to redistrict, back to Chicago. The article doesn't say exactly why he is sending Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education, back to Chicago to meet with school officials and students...My guess, however, is that they will NOT be discussing the impact absentee parents have on gang activity, they will NOT be discussing the impact violence has on human life, and they also will probably NOT be discussing the idea of expelling all gang members from public schools.
- School closings may be root of Chicago teen deaths
Violence has increasingly turned deadly -- including the vicious fatal beating of 16-year-old Derrion Albert, whose after school death was captured on a cell phone video.
Federal Gov't helps Chicago stem the violence
- Cabinet members meet with Chicago mayor
While the meeting is closed to the public, its main topic is likely to be how the federal government can better help the city to stem an unusually resistant tide of youth violence.
Another interesting article, Chicago Violence Haunts Obama (see Sidebar), reveals that "47 school-age children have been killed in homicides, mostly by guns, since the month President Barack Obama took office."
But then in the other article, you see the Mayor saying, "We cannot allow gang territory to disrupt our city life. If you allow that then you're basically waving the white flag to everybody in this city and that would be unacceptable."
Both are valid points, but neither reaches across to the other to find an actual solution. The death of Derrion Albert seems to have sparked a whole new all-too-common case of opposing parties involved refusing to actually listen, refusing to work together to dig in to find the root of the problem, a government choosing to be reactive rather than proactive, and everybody pleading the case for their own agenda. You have gun-control advocates focusing on the guns, you have fiscal conservatives focusing on the contributions that Section 8 and welfare make to poverty, you have school officials touting the improvement in their test scores, you have Obama-haters focusing on Obama's inability to fix the problems while he was in Illinios, and athletes and city officials focusing on the lost opportunity of the 2016 Olympics.
I'm not so bold as to say I have a solution to Chicago's years of violence problems. But I am saying that if someone doesn't speak up soon to find a solution to the whole problem, children will continue to die.
Can the Federal Government help a city curb its violence?
No I have not watched that show, but probably will try to catch a couple of them since you like it.
We have "crime suppression teams" here which means the patrol captain and 3/4 gung- ho types working late at night trying to make a difference. Drug raids, search warrants, DUI saturations, etc.
It has been working....... but sooner or later someone is going to get hurt.
It would be a far tougher problem in a big city I am sure. Tell O to call me after you suggest it, I'll have plenty of time to get the beer! LOL
I live in a small town in the South. (Yeah I capitalized it!) Less than 10k people and we have gangs here now! When I was a cop on the street we had thugs but no gangs. This gang thing even scares some of the cops, I think.
In a small town, it would seem that aggressive enforcement is the key. In a large one a "surge" might be the answer. Pick an area and stop the gangs there for some period of time and then move to the next area. Block by block or street by street.
I like your hub by the way and that is a nice bike!
Excellent article! I am sure the Left will blame "society" and Capitalism for the actions of these murderers. The problem is a problem of the heart. Or in this case—the heartless.
Excellent hub broussardleslie: I first want to say that I agree with both you and Scott about this quote; "Governments and many classes of people above a certain income bracket are out of touch with the real struggles of a majority of Americans."
This is especially true in big cities. Smaller suburban areas are oft times governed by peers that have more in common with the average citizen, where larger cities are governed by peers that have more in common with their neighboring suburbanites. The problem is a HUGE one that is virtually impossible to stop, but serious enough to never stop fighting. I think it starts at home. Single parent homes are at a high risk of having unattended children, which in turn increases the risk of them falling prey to gang affiliation. Then there are simply some irresponsible parent homes, which can sometimes encourage criminal activity (knowingly or unknowingly). When you pile these factors up in a pot and put children together, bravado does the rest.
We have had a similar issue here in Detroit Public Schools. School closings and district reorganizing have resulted in a lot more violence than our local media publicizes. For some reason we think it's okay to ignore the violence if no one dies or fires any weapons. I moved to the suburbs to get my daughter out of the high school that I graduated from. When I was there, it was just fine...but time has altered it for the worse. Out of fear for her safety and just overall comfort (because I believe children need a comfortable learning environment without threat of a violent outbreak), my wife and I moved our family to a home in a better school district. The difference is incredible!
The biggest difference I've noticed is the parental involvement in the school and it's activities. Even the neighborhood athletic leagues have extraordinarily more parent participation than the inner-city leagues. The school, in turn, also communicates with the parents more. They make the staff and student information far more accessible to parents. If my child misses a class, I get a phone call - I didn't get that in Detroit. But back in "The D", I know children who's parents might stay up all night getting high, and because they don't want to get up in the morning - the child can sleep in and not go to school that day.
This issue is far to localized for the federal government to fix, and far to complicated to fix overnight, but it IS a local issue. In larger cities, I think local government need to put more effort and funds into organizing neighborhood watches (so to speak), to created sub-governing bodies that represent concerned residents of neighborhoods. People that can see and hear the streets their children walk on, because those are the people that KNOW where the problem spots and who the major trouble makers are.
Great thought-provoking hub broussardleslie or Leslie Broussard. :D Keep'em coming!
Leslie, this was a great hub, I'm glad I ran across it. There has been violence in schools for a long time in Chicago and elsewhere, this is not new, it just came to light recently. I remember a few years back they installed a metal detector in one of the high schools here in Florida, I was a little shocked, I was not aware of the severity since all my children are grown. The answer is not an easy one, there are several issues, however the funding designated today to combat the violence, I'm sure will not be allocated to the issues, but will go to pad the politician's pockets. Keep Hubbing, I became a fan.
Good article!
I used to deliver to Chicago, and we all knew well the areas to avoid.
The answer to solving this is here...
As you say Governments and many classes of people above a certain income bracket are out of touch with the real struggles of a majority of Americans. When it takes millions just to run for office these days it is rare that an average citizen could ever hope to reach office and represent the interests of his people.The government can not solve these issues for us nor do they want to, so we as a people and nation will have to do something ourselves to effect change. we have given too much power to the government which has no desire to use it wisely or for our good.

AP or not AP?
It is that time of year again for high schoolers to begin scheduling next year's classes. A question weighing on the minds of students is whether or not to take an Advanced Placement course, more commonly called an AP class.
An AP class follows the college curriculum of a particular subject such as history, English, foreign language and science. As one might expect, it requires much more work and effort than the high school course. This can discourage many from taking AP courses. But there are numerous benefits as well.
According to a recent New York Times report, the College Board is redesigning the entire AP program featuring new detailed standards for the courses and new exams in 2012-13.
While it does entail more work, it prepares students for college; college work will be similar to the work in an AP class.
It is a good idea to get a taste of something before actually doing it. This goes for college, too. Maybe in other classes, students can get by without studying and still get good grades, but in AP classes and certainly in college, that simply will not cut it. To understand the material fully, students must be responsible for studying.
Textbooks are an indispensable item in both AP and college classes. They serve as a supplement as well as reinforcement to the teachers' instructions. During an AP class, students learn how to use the textbook and make it the most beneficial. In college, these same textbooks will cost money. If one cannot use it correctly, then it is simply not money well spent.
The curriculum requires students to get more in depth with the material. This requires a faster pace, so students must find a way to maximize their time. If the teacher gives lectures, make sure to take good notes. Write and understand the main ideas. If a student writes down everything the teacher says, he or she will miss the point. Trying to reread and decipher notes can waste time. During an AP class, students can see what types of notes work best for them.
Of course, there is the dreaded homework. For many high schoolers, their schedules are packed. From sports practices to club meetings to just hanging out with friends, there seems to be too few hours in the day to accomplish it all. There is a simple solution to this: No procrastinating. If students do a little of the homework or studying each night, cramming and pulling all-nighters are dramatically reduced. Most importantly, it reduces stress. We can all do with a little less stress in our lives.
The unique aspect of homework in a high school AP class is that teachers collect it. This ensures that the assignment is not only completed but done with quality. Furthermore, students have a much closer bond to teachers in high school, who are also more accessible than college professors. Students can get extra help in high school.
When it comes down to it, the main reason many students decide to take an AP class is because of the savings. The instruction is free, and the exam costs about $80. College courses, on the other hand, can cost thousands of dollars.
An AP class also looks excellent on a college application and can help lead to scholarships.
It is important to remember that in an AP class, it is typical to not get higher grades in the beginning. Grades can be improved. Hard work is essential to success.
Students also can take the Regents exam for the same subject, if offered, in June. This exam will seem facile after taking the AP exam. Most importantly, you will have a college class under your belt before even entering. You may have to take a supplement course in college depending on the subject, but chance are you will fare much better with the knowledge of an AP class to those without the advantage. In the end, most students agree it's worth it.

Monochromatic Street Style
Reader-Inspired Style: The Color Match
I love getting style inspiration from celebs and models as much as the next girl, but sometimes the best ideas come from my fellow Fab fashionistas. This super-cool monochromatic look from reader a r i got me thinking: it's so awesome to rock two different shades of the same color! I'm loving the chic way she mixed two variations of purple, so I'm re-creating the look with some other great seasonal shades. Feeling matchy? Click the items to buy.

Kodak to buy Design2Launch, Exclusive Video
Wednesday, March 05, 2008
Press release from the issuing companyROCHESTER, N.Y., Mar. 4-Kodak announced its intent to acquire Design2Launch (D2L), developer of a collaborative end to end digital workflow solution for marketing and creative teams in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, automotive, and consumer package marketplaces. D2L is a proven player in the rapidly expanding corporate solutions software market and is a pioneer of "Graphic Lifecycle Management."
The D2L System is a suite of integrated modules created to save time and money at every step of the graphics creation process, from project initiation, collaboration and revision to approval and production. D2L, a privately held company formed in 2000, is based in Stamford, Conn.
"Kodak's strength in workflow is one of our greatest competitive assets, and we are committed to investing in and growing our capabilities to better serve our customers," said Philip J. Faraci, President and Chief Operating Officer, Eastman Kodak Company. "D2L is a proven player in the rapidly expanding corporate solutions software market and, when completed, this acquisition will enable us to broaden our portfolio of solutions and open new markets within the changing graphic communications marketplace."
Designed for marketing, creative, advertising, production, research and development, legal and packaging professionals, major modules of D2L include:
- Visual Asset Manager (VAM), a browser based, comprehensive digital asset management system that supports all types of digital files, managing both works in progress and finalized branded assets
- Dynamic Digital Workflow, an easy to configure, rules based system that supports both template and ad hoc workflows
- Routing & Collaboration, a tool for routing and tracking all annotations, reviews and approvals
- Soft Proofing, based on KODAK MATCHPRINT Virtual Proofing Software for color managed remote proofing
- File Transfer Manager, to help users distribute large files between remote locations quickly, securely, and efficiently
- Project Management and Tracking, which provides automated real time monitoring and reporting of all types of projects to maximize resource utilization
D2L is led by the brother and sister team of Alison Malloy, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ron Malloy, Chief Strategy Officer.
"D2L users can expect to receive the same high level of service and support we have always provided," said Alison Malloy.
"In addition, our customers will also have the opportunity to capitalize on important new benefits," added Ron Malloy. "We will leverage the worldwide strength of Kodak to increase local support for global brands, and further leverage Kodak's expertise in workflow automation, color and image management to expand the breadth of our corporate solutions."
Kodak's Graphic Communications Group is the only graphic arts and printing industry supplier to provide both digital and conventional production solutions within a unified workflow. Kodak's portfolio of workflow software solutions includes the industry leading KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System, which has more than 40,000 seats at graphic communications service providers around the world.
Kodak announced in February that it would launch KODAK COLORFLOW Software at drupa 2008. The COLORFLOW System is a single software solution that delivers integrated color control across all devices in the production environment: monitors, scanner, halftone and inkjet proofers, as well as digital and conventional presses.
Kodak's unified workflow approach includes a wide range of portal products that use the Internet to facilitate e-commerce, collaboration, digital asset management, online job submission, and monitor proofing. Kodak also offers industry leading software tools for file creation and management in the production environment.
With expertise in visualization and workflow management for brand owners and their agencies, the addition of D2L to Kodak's product portfolio helps Kodak to more tightly integrate brand owners, marketing services, and print service providers.
"It is expected that D2L solutions will have optimized interoperability with Kodak solutions, creating the opportunity to drive print volume to Kodak users," said Faraci.
The transaction is subject to acceptance of minority shareholders of D2L and customary conditions to closing. The parties anticipate the transaction will be consummated within 30 days. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
KODAK Products are backed by KODAK Service and Support. KODAK Service and Support is made up of more than 3,000 professionals reaching more than 120 countries.

What is the VALUE of knowing where your child is during the school day
and knowing that they are safe and accounted for during a crisis situation?
In a world of continually increasing violence in and around our schools, it is no longer a question of "IF", but rather "WHEN" an incident will occur.
Is your school prepared?
If not, you need to
take action now, as tomorrow may literally be too late.
Trinity is the most advanced integration of crisis management, attendance, discipline, and anonymous reporting for our schools - all from a single interface.
Trinity introduces new features available nowhere else while also integrating with existing school systems. Through both active and passive technologies, Trinity enables school administrators and faculty to efficiently and electronically manage students, track and report on attendance, rapidly account for students in a crisis situation, and help keep them learning in a safe environment.
Trinity empowers all users with uniquely designed dahsboards and workflows. Users include multi-school and single-school administrators,faculty, parents, students, bus drivers, and emergency responders.
Trinity was created in part to help manage efforts in keeping students and staff safe in this rising trend of school violence. Just look at the unfortunate patterns in the chart below. We all know about the well-publicized events of Columbine (1999), Virginia Tech (2007), and Sandy Hook (2012). But notice the spike between 2013 and 2015. There was no single event that received great publicity, but the number of overall incidents, deaths, and injuries over these years has skyrocketed.
While Trinity is unable to prevent school violence, it can assist with opening communication with students prior to incidents occurring, it can empower students to alert faculty of suspicious activity, it can help coordinate a smooth response and resolution to a situation that may occur, it can ensure everyone has the information they need in real-time, and it can guarantee parents stay informed and more easily reunite with their students after a crisis.

THIN AIR would not be possible without our huge brigade of volunteers. We need volunteers for every aspect of our festival from Mainstage events to driving visiting writers to their events. We are always looking for new volunteers who are outgoing, fun, love to read, and just want to give a little something back to their community.
Why volunteer?
Volunteering with THIN AIR gives you the opportunity to help promote the love of the written word as we welcome, host and present interesting authors from Canada and beyond. You can share your love of books and reading and encourage others to enjoy all the festival has to offer. Volunteering allows you access to all ticketed events and is a great way to see the festival on a limited budget.
Volunteer Positions
The mainstage offers a variety of tasks to choose from: it can be helping out at the box office, selling merchandise or raffle tickets, helping out behind the bar, handing out programs and helping people to their seats as an usher. These are some of the busiest nights for volunteers. We work as a team to ensure that everything gets done and that we still have time to enjoy the show.
Hospitality Suite
Working in the hospitality suite is a great opportunity to help take care of our visiting authors. This is where they will come to get their information, to chat, and get to know Winnipeg. Hospitality suite volunteers will be responsible for ensuring that snacks are stocked, drinks are served, and fostering a friendly and relaxing atmosphere for all of our visitors.
School Stages
The school stages are filled with kids every day. It is our responsibility to let them and their teachers know where to go and to help them have a memorable experience with the authors. School stage volunteers should be comfortable working with children of various ages.
Perhaps one of our most vital volunteer positions! We host many out-of-town authors during the festival, all of whom will be staying at the Inn at the Forks. Drivers are responsible for transporting visiting authors to and from the airport and events; a great opportunity to meet and chat with interesting people! Drivers must provide safe and reliable transportation with their own vehicle(s), but hang on to your receipts and keep track of your mileage!
General Event Assistants
We have a wide variety of events around town; anything from a writing Craft workshop to a Haiku Death Match. We always need some support with the set up and clean up, box office, and other tasks depending on the event. As always, you will have the ability to enjoy the show as well as help out with the event. A number of our events are also in French. Si vous parler français, enregistrez-vous pour les évènements de Livres en fête dans le cadre du festival.
How to apply
If you would like to become a volunteer for the Winnipeg International Writers Festival please fill out the online application form.
You may also be asked to participate in an interview. We thank all those who are interested, but we will only contact those applicants we feel may be able to work within our guidelines.
PLEASE NOTE: due to anti-spam legislation, your form must include giving us permission to contact you for volunteering opportunities.

Awards season is in full swing, and it was highly obvious that (most of) Hollywood's A-listers came dressed to impress at the Golden Globe Awards last night. Hands down, one of my favorite gowns of the evening was Jennifer Lawrence's amazing red Dior dress. Did she look stunning or what?
And if I had to pick a second best for the Golden Globes, Julianne Moore's custom Tom Ford frock was simply perfection. I mean, you really can't go wrong with a look that's classy, simple, and sophisticated, right?
Of course, with any awards show, there are always a few ladies who take way too big of a fashion risk, and wind up being a huge red carpet eyesore. (Why don't they get a second opinion before taking the plunge?)
To see more of the best and worst dressed stars at the Golden Globes, check out the photos below.

While neither Vampira or Elvira is on the reg list, a host of hellishly fast women are targeting the NoTubes Trans-Sylvania Epic p/b Dirt Rag in 2012. As is the case with the men's field, the talent assembling for the women's race TSEpic is as good as it gets. With this many incredible women all headed to the deep lush Pennsylvania forests to face off against one another, the winner of the TSEpic could easily stake her claim as North America's best endurance mountain bike racer.
With two years of TSEpic experience including overall victory in 2010, Team CF's Selene Yeager, above, is one of the first to consider for the win. Interestingly, some of Yeager's top competition may come from her own team mates as TeamCF is also fielding former NUE series champion Cheryl Sornson and TSE veteran Kristin Gavin. Sorrenson is fresh off a storming win at the Cohutta 100 where she knocked last year's TSEpic and NUE series champ Amanda Carey from the top of the podium. Teammate Gavin, below, was just behind in third place.
Even with this incredible line up Team CF will be challenged to have the strongest team at the TSEpic. The NoTubes elite women's team is fielding no less than five racers with the goal of nothing less than total and absolute domination of their sponsor's top mountain bike event.
Vicki Barclay, above, who happens to call State College home, and teammate and former US National Champ Sue Haywood, below, both have a year of TSEpic experience to call on and both are showing excellent early season form. Haywood has claimed both the Maryland and Deleware State Championship titles on recent weekends and Vicki was fourth at Cohutta.
Joining these two will be NoTubes team captain Shannon Gibson, 2011's ProXCT top 10 finisher Sarah Kaufmann, and former New Zealand World Championship Team Member Jenny Smith. The mountain bike stage race podiums under the belts of these NoTubes women ensure that there will be plenty of neon pink mixing it up with that bright blue plaid of Team CF at the sharp end of the race.
Several solo women are not to be counted out and will be battling against these formidible teams on every stage. Last year MTBRaceNews.com' Karen Potter, above, served notice that she was at TSEpic for the win and held the leaders jersey after the stage one time trial. A stomach bug took Potter out of the running for the overall but she came back late in the week to win a second stage. Potter too has seen early season success in both XC and distance events.
Kona's Alice Pennington will not have teammates to call on, but this talented and super-experienced racer also heads to Trans-Sylvania prepared to take on all comers and do her part to give Kona a sweep of the men's and women's titles. And while Niner's Donna Miller is making her first appearance at TSE she has no less than podium intentions in mind.
Watch the battle unfold on www.TSEpic.com, Dirt Rag and Cycling Dirt throughout race week with updates, pics and video posted daily. For even more insight find Trans-Sylvania Epic on facebook.

The failure of democracy
"The question now is," continued Alfred, "as two of the parties, Franceand England, have proved so short-sighted, whether the Americans, havingthrown off their allegiance, have not been equally so in their choice ofa democratical government?""How far a modern democracy may succeed, I am not prepared to say,"replied Mr. Campbell; "but this I do know, that in ancient times, theirduration was generally very short, and continually changing to oligarchyand tyranny. One thing is certain, that there is no form of governmentunder which the people become so rapidly vicious, or where those whobenefit them are treated with such ingratitude.""How do you account for that, sir?" said Alfred."There are two principal causes. One is, that where all men are declaredto be equal (which man never will permit his fellow to be if he canprevent it), the only source of distinction is wealth, and thus thedesire of wealth becomes the ruling passion of the whole body, and thereis no passion so demoralizing. The other is, that where the people, or,more properly speaking, the mob govern, they must be conciliated byflattery and servility on the part of those who would become theiridols. Now flattery is lying, and a habit equally demoralizing to theparty who gives and to the party who receives it. Depend upon it, thereis no government so contemptible or so unpleasant for an honest man tolive under as a democracy.""It is my opinion, sir, and I believe a very general one," said Alfred."How far the Americans may disprove such an opinion," continued Mr.Campbell, "remains to be seen; but this is certain, they have commencedtheir new form of government with an act of such gross injustice, as towarrant the assumption that all their boasted virtues are pretense. Irefer to their not liberating their slaves. They have given the lie totheir own assertions in their Declaration of Independence, in which theyhave declared all men equal and born free, and we can not expect theDivine blessing upon those who, when they emancipated themselves, wereso unjust as to hold their fellow-creatures in bondage. The time willcome, I have no doubt, although perhaps not any of us here present maysee the day, when the retribution will fall upon their heads, or ratherupon the heads of their offspring; for the sins of the fathers arevisited upon the children, even to the third and fourth generation.

Momentum is a one-game deal in the playoffs, and as high as the Dodgers were feeling Monday, they were as low after Tuesday.
The Dodgers fell, 4-2, to the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series, leaving them down three games to one and without their offensive leader.
Shortstop Hanley Ramirez tried to play for a second consecutive day with a broken rib, but this time the pain proved too great. He could not conceal the agony as he swung the bat. It was actually hard to watch.
BOX SCORE: Cardinals 4, Dodgers 2
Ramirez struck out in all three of his at-bats and was finally taken out of the game in the seventh. It's not difficult to imagine he is done for the series.

Rainer Weiss: Gravitational Wave Astronomy, a New Way to Explore The Universe
In February 2016, scientists announced a groundbreaking discovery, the first direct detection of gravitational waves reaching the Earth, using an instrument known as LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory). The discovery confirmed a prediction first proposed by Albert Einstein in his 1916 paper on applications of general relativity after his famous paper introducing his new theory of gravity in 1915.
The recent observations of gravitational waves from the cataclysmic merger of binary black holes over a billion light years away from Earth open a new window onto the universe and allow the study of general relativity in the limit of extreme gravitational fields.
For Dr. Rainer Weiss, one of the founders of LIGO, the discovery was 50 years in the making. His own work on the topic began as a classroom exercise in a general relativity course given at MIT in 1967. Dr. Weiss will speak to the UW community about the fascinating history of the gravitational waves proposed by Einstein and of the results of The LIGO Project, as well as a vision for the future of gravitational wave astronomy.
