Percy Jackson 2 – Sequel Plans15.02.10 # Sequel # 2,760 Comments
There's been a lot of Percy Jackson 2 talk in recent weeks. So what has been said and how likely is a sequel?
There are five books in the Percy Jackson series, so far. The next installment is 'The Sea Of Monsters' which sees Percy, Annabeth, and his half-brother Tyson the cyclopes sailing across a dangerous ocean to save the kidnapped Grover and retrieve the Golden Fleece (the only thing that can stop Camp Half-Blood being made vulnerable to an attack by the Titans).
At the London press conference last week director Chris Columbus said "If we are successful enough, I'd love to make another film almost immediately with these guys. We had a wonderful time. I love the enthusiasm and lack of cynicism. I want to go back to work quickly."
And despite recent Spider-Man casting rumours, it doesn't sound like star Logan Lerman is going anywhere either. "I'm invested into the whole series. I'm crazy about the story and crazy about the character, I'd love to do all the films."
The reaction to the first film has been mixed. Critics gave it a 49% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Casual members of the public seemed to half enjoy it. But many fans are angry. According to the feedback on this site and elsewhere, the book wasn't just compressed (ala Harry Potter), it was "butchered", its "heart taken out" with major plot re-routing, some characters altered beyond recognition, other key ones dropped entirely, etc. How this will affect repeat viewings and word of mouth we will have to see.
Lightning Thief has made $31 million on its opening weekend in the US. Not terrible, but not spectacular either. Internationally it opened with $28 million, which is underwhelming. It cost around $95 million. As of today, it needs to hold on well domestically and internationally to become a hit. If it does, there will be more.
What would you like to see happen in a Percy Jackson sequel? How can they improve on the first movie? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
UPDATE MARCH 2011 – Good news, the sequel has gone into development. Read about it here
UPDATE MARCH 2013 – The trailer has been released! Click the button below to watch it:

Having a busy busy week tying off loose ends before we jet set off at the end of the week (!), but have squeezed in a bit of lampshade making. i know i promised to make a photo tutorial about how to make these, but I didn't have time to stop and take photos this time. Plus, we're getting a new camera in Japan which should hopefully take MUCH better shots! So next time, I promise :)
A custom lamp order of matching poppies and raindrops fabric :)
an Auntie Cookie fabric lamp for Shannon to take to the market! Her fabric works really well in this context!! And the black on white print provides great contrast when the lamp is on :)

Fibromyalgia Self Care
One of the best ways to take care of your health if you have fibromyalgia is to take a proactive role in your own treatment – a process called self-management.
Here are some ways you can manage your health when you have fibromyalgia:
Improving Sleep
Maintaining good sleep hygiene is important to improving sleep quality. That means doing things to make it easier for you to go to sleep and stay asleep. Establishing a regular bedtime, a regular time to wake up and strictly adhering to them is important. It may take up to six weeks for your body to get used to this change but it will aid in sleep. By practicing sleep hygiene techniques, such as reducing caffeine in the diet, using relaxation tapes before bedtime, and keeping regular bed and wake-up times, sleep can often be dramatically improved. This, in turn, helps to reduce daytime fatigue and pain.
Being Physically Active
Exercise is an extremely important aspect of the management of fibromyalgia. Studies show that certain aerobic exercise programs give people with fibromyalgia an improved sense of well-being, increased endurance and decreased pain. It may do this by acting as a natural "drug," raising the levels of endorphins (chemicals) in your body that can reduce pain and fatigue.
You may be reluctant to exercise if you're already tired and in pain but there are several types of exercise you can choose. Forms of exercise that include stretching and relaxation, such as yoga, may be very useful for people with fibromyalgia. Strength training can be performed by people with fibromyalgia, but it's generally recommended that these types of exercise be started after a successful aerobic exercise program. Low- or non-impact aerobic exercises, such as walking, biking, Pilates, water aerobics or swimming, generally are the best ways to start your exercise therapy. However, it's important to begin exercising at a level that you can tolerate without a substantial increase in pain. Many people with fibromyalgia find it necessary to consult with an experienced physical therapist for best results. Physical therapists can help you by designing a specific exercise program to improve posture, flexibility and fitness.
Reducing Stress
Stress management techniques, such as breathing exercises, and learning to manage fatigue by pacing techniques, such as alternating periods of activity with periods of rest, can help you control the feelings of anger, sadness and panic that often overwhelm people living with frequent pain and fatigue. It's very important to find ways to reduce the sources of stress as you manage your condition.

Hi all,
I've been avoiding buying too many kitchen equipments because I'm currently living in a rented place, and it's such a hassle when I have to move.
But I figured that with all the money I spend buying fresh smoothies everyday, the time has come for me to invest in my first food processor (or blender or smoothie maker? so many names!)..
It'd mainly be used to make smoothies everyday, and the occasional soup...
Would be good if it can also function as a juicer, but that'd be an added benefit, and not a must-have.
Can anyone recommend a good brand?
I'm not too fussy about price though nothing too extravagant :)
Thanks in advance!
Hmmm. A food processor and a blender are different things. Compare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_processor with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blenders.
A blender is cheaper and takes up less space on the bench, but a food processor CAN have attachments for slicing and grating and juicing. My food processor even has a blender attachment! Of course, the more attachments, the more expensive it's likely to be. Mine has a spice/coffee grinder, the blender, various slicing blades, and a juicer. I really only use the spice grinder and the blender - and of course the food processor. It's a Kenwood and is the best I could find in my price range. I'm not all that terribly happy with it though - it doesn't do as good a job of chopping things as my old Kitchen Wizz did. I just wish I could still get replacement bowls for that.
You can get blenders, which are ideal for smoothies and soup, quite cheaply. If that's all you are making I don't think the brand matters all that much; you're not going to be putting a lot of strain on the motor.
My blog is Food and Shoes
Thanks for the recommendation. I asked my friend, and she said one of the larger department stores in town carries this brand, so I'll go have a look.
Thanks too Bronwyn for the reply ^^
I have one of those 3 in 1 hand blenders for my flat at uni, easily stored away in the cupboard. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Breville-VHB014-Black-Stainless-Blender/dp/B001D... That one in fact! Really useful for soups, making breadcrumbs, pesto, whisking etc etc. I couldn't live without it to be honest!
I'm not short, I'm fun sized ^_^
Are they any good for smoothies? I have one, but I mostly use the whisk attachment for mayonnaise and the stick thing for soups or whatever. They are very handy, I'd have mentioned them if I'd been sure they'd work for smoothies.
Whoopsie, I messed up!
The reply I posted above is meant to be for this
If you can afford it (and it's available) I'd recommend a Bamix hand blender. The motor is really strong, it lasts for decades (our old one lasted for like 25+ years before it broke) and it can make smoothies, blend soup in the pot, etc. in a flash. I use my (new) one all the time for such tasks.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
This looks good, and it seems there is a distributor in Singapore.
Will check this out ^^
This might be out of your price range, but the Vitamix is really good. But at $450 for the basic package, it's probably more of a "someday" thing. Still, my boyfriend's family had one, and it was amazing! It could tear up the toughest things into powder, make smoothies and milkshakes with impressive speed, and even make hot soup from the speed and friction of the blending! I'd definitely reccommend something simpler first, but if you ever have $450 to spend and you really like smoothies, the Vitamix is a great investment.
Onaka ga suiteiru!
I use it for smoothies, soups, whisking, making breadcrumbs, pesto and everything else!! Haha!
I agree on the Vitamix. I love mine. It's amazing for smoothies. Soups aren't bad either, but it doesn't really cook them.
A food processor won't make smoothies. If you want something that is more multipurpose get a Thermomix.
I had a juicer and sold it. It was such a hassle to clean up and I needed so many carrots to make a cup of juice that it hardly seemed worth it.
I know people who live in small spaces and swear by the Magic Bullet for making smoothies. You can blend it right in the cup you drink out of. It's pretty cheap too.

The term data service describes an application, such as Oracle iPlanet Web Server, that has been configured to run on a cluster rather than on a single server. Data services enable applications to become highly available and scalable services help prevent significant application interruption after any single failure within the cluster. A data service consists of an application, specialized Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration files, and Oracle Solaris Cluster management methods that control the following actions of the application:
Monitor and take corrective measures
There are two types of data services: single-mastered (or failover) and multi-mastered (or parallel). Some multi-mastered data services, referred to as scalable services, are designed to take advantage of Oracle Solaris Cluster network load balancing when configured with a SharedAddress resource.
Figure 3-3 compares an application that runs on a single application server (the single-server model) to the same application running on a cluster (the clustered-server model). The only difference between the two configurations is that the clustered application might run faster and is more highly available.
Figure 3-3 Standard Compared to Clustered Client-Server Configuration
In the single-server model, you configure the application to access the server through a particular public network interface (a host name). The host name is associated with that physical server.
In the clustered-server model, the public network interface is a logical host name or a shared address. The term network resources is used to refer to both logical host names and shared addresses.
Some data services require you to specify either logical host names or shared addresses as the network interfaces. Logical host names and shared addresses are not always interchangeable. Other data services allow you to specify either logical host names or shared addresses. Refer to the installation and configuration for each data service for details about the type of interface you must specify.
A network resource is not associated with a specific physical server. A network resource can migrate between physical servers.
A network resource is initially associated with one node, the primary. If the primary fails, the network resource and the application resource fail over to a different cluster node (a secondary). When the network resource fails over, after a short delay, the application resource continues to run on the secondary.
Figure 3-4 compares the single-server model with the clustered-server model. Note that in the clustered-server model, a network resource (logical host name, in this example) can move between two or more of the cluster nodes. The application is configured to use this logical host name in place of a host name that is associated with a particular server.
Figure 3-4 Fixed Host Name Compared to Logical Host Name
A shared address is also initially associated with one node. This node is called the global interface node. A shared address (known as the global interface) is used as the single network interface to the cluster.
The difference between the logical host name model and the scalable service model is that in the latter, each node also has the shared address actively configured on its loopback interface. This configuration enables multiple instances of a data service to be active on several nodes simultaneously. The term "scalable service" means that you can add more CPU power to the application by adding additional cluster nodes and the performance scales.
If the global interface node fails, the shared address can be started on another node that is also running an instance of the application (thereby making this other node the new global interface node). Or, the shared address can fail over to another cluster node that was not previously running the application.
Figure 3-5 compares the single-server configuration with the clustered scalable service configuration. Note that in the scalable service configuration, the shared address is present on all nodes. The application is configured to use this shared address in place of a host name that is associated with a particular server. This scheme is similar to how a logical host name is used for a failover data service.
Figure 3-5 Fixed Host Name Compared to Shared Address
The Oracle Solaris Cluster software supplies a set of service management methods. These methods run under the control of the Resource Group Manager (RGM), which uses them to start, stop, and monitor the application on the cluster nodes. These methods, along with the cluster framework software and multihost devices, enable applications to become failover or scalable data services.
The RGM also manages resources in the cluster, including instances of an application and network resources (logical host names and shared addresses).
In addition to Oracle Solaris Cluster software-supplied methods, the Oracle Solaris Cluster software also supplies an API and several data service development tools. These tools enable application developers to develop the data service methods that are required to make other applications run as highly available data services with the Oracle Solaris Cluster software.
If the node on which the data service is running (the primary node) fails, the service is migrated to another working node without user intervention. Failover services use a failover resource group, which is a container for application instance resources and network resources (logical host names). Logical host names are IP addresses that can be configured on one node, and at a later time, automatically configured down on the original node and configured on another node.
For failover data services, application instances run only on a single node. If the fault monitor detects an error, it either attempts to restart the instance on the same node, or to start the instance on another node (failover). The outcome depends on how you have configured the data service.
The scalable data service has the potential for active instances on multiple nodes.
Scalable services use the following two resource groups:
A scalable resource group contains the application resources.
A failover resource group, which contains the network resources (shared addresses) on which the scalable service depends. A shared address is a network address. This network address can be bound by all scalable services that are running on nodes within the cluster. This shared address enables these scalable services to scale on those nodes. A cluster can have multiple shared addresses, and a service can be bound to multiple shared addresses.
A scalable resource group can be online on multiple nodes simultaneously. As a result, multiple instances of the service can be running at once. All scalable resource groups use load balancing. All nodes that host a scalable service use the same shared address to host the service. The failover resource group that hosts the shared address is online on only one node at a time.
Service requests enter the cluster through a single network interface (the global interface). These requests are distributed to the nodes, based on one of several predefined algorithms that are set by the load-balancing policy. The cluster can use the load-balancing policy to balance the service load between several nodes. Multiple global interfaces can exist on different nodes that host other shared addresses.
For scalable services, application instances run on several nodes simultaneously. If the node that hosts the global interface fails, the global interface fails over to another node. If an application instance that is running fails, the instance attempts to restart on the same node.
If an application instance cannot be restarted on the same node, and another unused node is configured to run the service, the service fails over to the unused node. Otherwise, the service continues to run on the remaining nodes, possibly causing a degradation of service throughput.
Note - TCP state for each application instance is kept on the node with the instance, not on the global interface node. Therefore, failure of the global interface node does not affect the connection.
Figure 3-6 shows an example of failover and a scalable resource group and the dependencies that exist between them for scalable services. This example shows three resource groups. The failover resource group contains application resources for highly available DNS, and network resources used by both highly available DNS and highly available Apache Web Server. The scalable resource groups contain only application instances of the Apache Web Server. Note that all the Apache application resources are configured with resource dependencies on the network resource schost-2, which is a shared address (dashed lines).
Figure 3-6 Instances of Failover and Scalable Resource Groups
Load balancing improves performance of the scalable service, both in response time and in throughput. There are two classes of scalable data services.
A pure service is capable of having any of its instances respond to client requests. A sticky service is capable of having a client send requests to the same instance. Those requests are not redirected to other instances.
A pure service uses a weighted load-balancing policy. Under this load-balancing policy, client requests are by default uniformly distributed over the server instances in the cluster. The load is distributed among various nodes according to specified weight values. For example, in a three-node cluster, suppose that each node has the weight of 1. Each node services one third of the requests from any client on behalf of that service. The cluster administrator can change weights at any time with an administrative command.
The weighted load-balancing policy is set by using the LB_WEIGHTED value for the Load_balancing_weights property. If a weight for a node is not explicitly set, the weight for that node is set to 1 by default.
The weighted policy redirects a certain percentage of the traffic from clients to a particular node. Given X=weight and A=the total weights of all active nodes, an active node can expect approximately X/A of the total new connections to be directed to the active node. However, the total number of connections must be large enough. This policy does not address individual requests.
Note that the weighted policy is not round robin. A round-robin policy would always cause each request from a client to go to a different node. For example, the first request would go to node 1, the second request would go to node 2, and so on.
A sticky service has two flavors, ordinary sticky and wildcard sticky.
Sticky services enable concurrent application-level sessions over multiple TCP connections to share in-state memory (application session state).
Ordinary sticky services enable a client to share the state between multiple concurrent TCP connections. The client is said to be "sticky" toward that server instance that is listening on a single port.
The client is guaranteed that all requests go to the same server instance, provided that the following conditions are met:
The instance remains up and accessible.
The load-balancing policy is not changed while the service is online.
For example, a web browser on the client connects to a shared IP address on port 80 using three different TCP connections. However, the connections exchange cached session information between them at the service.
A generalization of a sticky policy extends to multiple scalable services that exchange session information in the background and at the same instance. When these services exchange session information in the background and at the same instance, the client is said to be "sticky" toward multiple server instances on the same node that is listening on different ports.
For example, a customer on an e-commerce web site fills a shopping cart with items by using HTTP on port 80. The customer then switches to SSL on port 443 to send secure data to pay by credit card for the items in the cart.
In the ordinary sticky policy, the set of ports is known at the time the application resources are configured. This policy is set by using the LB_STICKY value for the Load_balancing_policy resource property.
Wildcard sticky services use dynamically assigned port numbers, but still expect client requests to go to the same node. The client is "sticky wildcard" over pots that have the same IP address.
A good example of this policy is passive mode FTP. For example, a client connects to an FTP server on port 21. The server then instructs the client to connect back to a listener port server in the dynamic port range. All requests for this IP address are forwarded to the same node that the server informed the client through the control information.
The sticky-wildcard policy is a superset of the ordinary sticky policy. For a scalable service that is identified by the IP address, ports are assigned by the server (and are not known in advance). The ports might change. This policy is set by using the LB_STICKY_WILD value for the Load_balancing_policy resource property.
For each one of these sticky policies, the weighted load-balancing policy is in effect by default. Therefore, a client's initial request is directed to the instance that the load balancer dictates. After the client establishes an affinity for the node where the instance is running, future requests are conditionally directed to that instance. The node must be accessible and the load-balancing policy must not have changed.
Resource groups fail over from one node to another. When this failover occurs, the original secondary becomes the new primary. The failback settings specify the actions that occur when the original primary comes back online. The options are to have the original primary become the primary again (failback) or to allow the current primary to remain. You specify the option you want by using the Failback resource group property setting.
If the original node that hosts the resource group fails and reboots repeatedly, setting failback might result in reduced availability for the resource group.
Each Oracle Solaris Cluster data service supplies a fault monitor that periodically probes the data service to determine its health. A fault monitor verifies that the application daemon or daemons are running and that clients are being served. Based on the information that probes return, predefined actions such as restarting daemons or causing a failover can be initiated.

FAB system for defining AML
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Can you please tell me what M4 (FAB) means with AML? Is that type treated different or hard to treat? I am a little confused. Is one sub-type worse than the other?
Selina M. Luger, MD, Director of the Leukemia Program and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
In the 1980's a group of French, American and British physicians (FAB) came up with system for defining or naming the different forms of AML (acute myelogenous leukemia) They named them based on the way they looked and tests that would help to define the type of cell that had become the leukemic cell. Since that time we have learned that although these nametags help us identify the leukemia, for the most part they don't mean much in terms of how the leukemia is going to behave or how the patient is going to do. We now know that there are other factors about the patient (like their general health, age etc), and the leukemia (whether it came out of nowhere or because of other treatments or diseases the patient has) and the cells (what the genes or chromosomes of the leukemia cells look like) that are more important in predicting how a patient might do. We still do however use the FAB nomenclature to give the leukemia a name.

It's still just a rumor, but on Sept. 10 Apple supposedly will have an event at which it launches the next iPhone. And as always, there's a lot of speculation about new features on the successor to the iPhone 5.
Chief among them: That it will have a fingerprint scanner built into the home button. This could be used both for security – only your fingerprint could unlock your phone – and for some kind of mobile payments system.
Using biometrics to secure a smartphone seems like a natural feature for a device you hold in your hands. Fingerprint scanners have been around for quite some time on notebooks and desktop keyboards. So why have they not become mainstream in smartphones?
Earlier this month, developer Geppy Parziale wrote an interesting blog post about fingerprint recognition technology, noting that the most commonly used system on PCs doesn't have a long lifespan. CMOS-based sensors die young, it seems. That's one reason why industrial-strength palm and fingerprint recognition systems use more expensive optical-scanning systems, which at the moment are too large to be installed on mobile devices.
It's also been my experience that setting up fingerprint scanners on a PC is a cumbersome process. And I've also found that, once set up, they don't always reliably read fingerprints. Too often, when testing fingerprint scanners on a review notebook, I've had to make several swipes before the system recognized me. It's faster just to type in a password.
The rumored iPhone fingerprint scanner will supposedly place the sensor inside a home button made of sapphire glass, which may help its longevity. But even if this comes to pass, Apple won't be the first with fingerprint recognition.
The original Motorola Atrix, sold by AT&T in 2011, had a fingerprint scanner – but when the Atrix 2 was released later that same year, the scanner was gone. You can see how the scanner worked in this TechHarvest video:
You can expect more fingerprint scanners on smartphones this year. Pantech, for example, announced the Vega LTE-A smartphone with fingerprint recognition. For now, it's restricted to South Korea – LTE-A stands for LTE Advanced, which is only in that country for the moment.
If fingerprint scanners have been improved to the point that they are more reliable and last longer, they could be a killer feature on smartphones. I'd look forward to something that made my phone more secure. In fact, it's possible this could be a deterrent against smartphone thefts, particularly if fingerprints were stored in the device so they'd survive it being wiped or restored.
What do you think? Is fingerprint scanning a feature you'd use? Let us know in the comments.
Update: In a post today, 9to5Mac reports that not only will the next iPhone indeed have a fingerprint scanner, but it actually works quite well:
Beyond gold, the iPhone's storied Home button will also see a change. As discussed in analyst reports and affirmed by code strings left behind in early iOS 7 betas, we've heard multiple hints from sources indicating that the iPhone 5S will include a fingerprint scanner on the Home button. Despite speculation (albeit based in science) to the contrary, we've heard that it works well compared to the run-of-the-mill scanners found on household items and smartphones like the Motorola Atrix.

Have anyone heard anything about this game before? It seems to be released in 2003-2004 for PC and PS2 only in Japan and somewhere in 2010 for PS3. But I couldn't find more information about it ,only a few short videos and articles on gaming sites , I even didn't find a physical copy on eBay or Amazon. I think it wasn't released,but everywhere told that it was. So, it would be interesting to know if the servers for PS2 are still online.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/561099-nobu ... ion-online
http://m.ign.com/games/nobunagas-ambiti ... ps2-481041
UPDATE: As I didn't find any confirmation of closure of PS2 servers on game's official site , I think the servers are still running. !And DNAS is still working in Japan as usual , it seems it was left there for local PSP PS Store and this game.
UPDATE2: Oh,those unusable Japanese websites. Servers for PS2 version were closed in the end of 2014. That's all.

This CU is Build 2746, and there are about 35 fixes, including ones for SSMS, database mirroring, SSIS, etc.
They also released CU8 for SQL Server 2008 RTM, which is Build 1823. If you are still on the RTM branch, you should start thinking about getting on the SP1 branch, since Microsoft is going to stop mainstream support for the RTM branch early next year (if memory serves).

The author's diccussion about upgrading to an automatic garment press continues with an examination of additional costs you'll incur as a direct result of the new machine.
By Rick Davis
In the first installment of this column, we reviewed the basic considerations in purchasing your first automatic. They included press selection and deciding between a new or used machine. This month, we'll cover some more points to think about during the acquisition of the press and the supplies that are required to go with it.
Many first-time buyers of automatic presses are surprised by how many small details they need to address when they upgrade their equipment. One of the primary issues to keep in mind here is that you're not only buying an automated piece of equipment, but also the additional supplies that support it. The quantity of some of the items that you'll need for day-today production will double, so do your best to plan for a dramatic increase in spending in these areas. The initial financial impact can be a real shock.
One of the most obvious increases you'll experience is in screen inventory. You'll need to purchase additional frames to supply the press. I firmly believe that if you intend to spend thousands of dollars for your first automatic, you shouldn't take shortcuts on the accessories that go along with it. Some manual printers may believe that buying the automatic press will drastically increase the quality of their printing, but they're surprised to find the quality of the finished product is basically the same—only more consistent. This is a common scenario when working with wooden frames. Although the press will deliver a consistent image from print to print, the finished print is only as good as the screens with which it was printed. It's the old philosophy of quality in, quality out.
If you do not have quality screens, you'll not get a quality print. To what degree you wish to hold this belief is strictly based on your own commitment to quality. In my case, I was able to buy 30 retensionable frames with the purchase of an automatic press. Although they're not enough to keep an automated machine going full time, they will enable you to get up and running. Retensionable frames are considerably more expensive than static wood or tubular aluminum ones. But the payoff is in the quality of the finished product, and the retensionables can pay for themselves quickly.

JBoss delivers message to IBM and BEA
Middleware statement
JBoss is ramping up its challenge to closed-source web servers and messaging middleware with updated editions of its software for enterprise IT infrastructures.
The company today announced JBoss Messaging 1.0 - a version of JBoss MQ re-engineered to deliver a modular messaging engine capable of shipping with or without JBoss' application server and delivering a four-fold improvement in throughput.
JBoss said JBoss Messaging 1.0 represented the foundation layer for the company's planned Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) due later this year, and has been improved to support enterprise-level Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs).
JBoss Messaging 1.0 is also designed to help JBoss continue to close the gap on more mature messaging software from vendors like BEA Systems and IBM.
Last year, JBoss bought Arjuna Technologies in a move to take on BEA and IBM. Like BEA's Tuxedo and IBM's MQ, Arjuna allows reliable delivery of messages in distributed environments. JBoss has announced plans to integrate Arjuna with its own middleware and release Arjuna's technology to the open source community.
Pierre Fricke, director of product management, told The Register JBoss MQ had required "better performance and high-availability." He believes JBoss Messaging 1.0 will deliver the power users need with the flexibility of being available as a stand-along offering, not tied into the application server
"There are some very high-end scenarios and inter-Galactic spaces that IBM MQ serves - we are not there yet. But this takes us from messaging for mid-level workloads and brings us up to workloads that cover most of the space. We are moving up the value chain," Fricke said.
JBoss is also tackling closed-source web servers with the JBoss Web Server 1.0 Community Release. The Apache-based server can handle more than 10,000 concurrent clients, Fricke said, making it suited to "high-performance" web sites.
JBoss Web Server 1.0 Community Release is built on Apache Tomcat, the Apache Portable Runtime and a native Tomcat layer, with the JK connector and processor hops usually used to execute in multiple tier environments removed. Fricke said JBoss wasn't "forking" the Tomcat server only "adding value" with this configuration.
Other features included support for http, https, Apache JServ Protocol, OpenSSL and in- and out- of process of CGI and PHP scripts and Microsoft's ASP.NET. Expanded support for Microsoft is apparently not a result of a technology co-operation agreement signed between Microsoft and JBoss last year.®

More than half of all Kentucky school districts raced to adopt the new "Graduate Kentucky" standard keeping students in school through age 18 or until they earn a high school diploma, and Gov. Steve Beshear and Education Commissioner Terry Holliday have recommended that remaining school districts still adopt the policy proactively.
Senate Bill 97 (SB 97), known as the "Graduate Kentucky" bill, passed this year and phases in an increase in the compulsory school attendance age from 16 to 18, amending the school attendance law created in 1934. So far, 105 school districts have approved the policy change.
"School districts should still move forward and adopt the 'Graduate Kentucky' attendance standard, and begin the work toward keeping students in school right away," Beshear said. "There is no reason to delay putting in place this common-sense expectation of our students – particularly when this attendance age will become a statewide standard by the 2017-18 school year."
June 25 was the first day to approve the new compulsory attendance age. Leaders launched "Blitz to 96" – an effort to get 96 school districts (55 percent of all districts) to approve a policy raising the compulsory school age from 16 to 18, because once that number approved the change, the remaining school districts would be obligated to adopt and implement the policy within four years. The first 96 districts to approve the change earned $10,000 grants from the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) to plan for full implementation in the 2015-16 school year.
"We are still getting reports every day that more districts have taken the bold step of adopting the 'Graduate Kentucky' age policy, and those actions show us that there was a real desire by our schools and communities to implement this action quickly," First Lady Jane Beshear said.
"We hope that all of our local boards of education realize what a profound impact this policy will have on their communities and the lives of at-risk students and not wait," Commissioner Holliday said. "The Kentucky Department of Education is committed to support districts implementing strategies and programs that will ensure the additional time students spend in school will be productive and ensure they graduate college/career-ready."
Once a district passes a compulsory school age policy, it should notify KDE following the process on this Web page.
The first districts to adopt the policy in the "Blitz to 96" will be invited to Frankfort for a special news conference with Gov. Beshear and Commissioner Holliday to recognize them for their swift action.
Research shows that high school graduates live longer, are less likely to be teen parents, and are more likely to raise healthier, better-educated children. High school graduates also are less likely to commit crimes, rely on government healthcare or use other public services.
More information about Graduate Kentucky, a list of districts that have approved the policy and resources available to school districts are available at www.graduate.ky.gov.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS —It's okay to admit it now, to say it out loud.
We were worried about the Oklahoma City Thunder a few weeks ago. The James Harden trade rocked the locker room, altered the way the defending Western Conference champions played and tinkered with championship-level chemistry at a time when the Thunder's young core was still in the developing stages.
But they've emerged from that fog to resume the position most expected them to — being at the top of the conference standings along with the Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs.
If there is still a lingering bit of uncertainty about this team, it's not coming from inside OKC's locker room. In fact, veteran center Kendrick Perkins has never been more sure of his team's ultimate fate than he is now, after they've run off eight wins in their past 10 games and have Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in a groove.
Perkins is convinced the Thunder is ready for finish what they couldn't against Miami last year in The Finals, telling HoopsWorld's Alex Kennedy:
"On a scale of one to ten, I'd say we're about an eight," Perkins said of this year's Thunder. "We have a lot of new guys and a lot of young guys so we're just trying to build our chemistry one game at a time. The thing is we lost a lot of veteran guys. We have a lot of talented guys, but they're not as experienced. We just have to make sure we follow the process and keep getting better."
"We're all growing together," Perkins added. "We have to be a better defensive team all-around. We have to do a better job of cutting down on our turnovers. We have to do a better job of executing our offense. We have to get better at the little things like talking on defense, setting good screens, cutting even when you're not getting the ball so that someone else gets an open shot. Those are the things that don't show up in the box scores, but those are the things that help teams win championships. Those are the things that we're striving to get better at."
Bluster or not, Perkins does have championship experience that cannot be ignored. His time in Boston provided him with insight into the inner workings of a Celtics championship team in 2008 that only a dozen or so active players around the league can match. So he might know a thing or two about a team's championship mettle when he sees it.
If he says Kevin Martin is more than up to the task of replacing what Harden gave the Thunder in production and intangibles, then maybe we ought to listen.
If he believes that the Lakers, Spurs, Grizzlies and even the Los Angeles Clippers don't pose the imminent threat to the Thunder's dominance that we happen to think they do from our view here at the hideout, then maybe it's worth a little more deliberation.
But we're betting Thunder coach Scott Brooks isn't nearly as confident in his new-look group just yet. Fourteen games are a limited sample size for making lasting prognostications about any team, even one as talented and accomplished as this Thunder crew. Their tussle with an upstart Charlotte team tonight (8 ET, League Pass) will provide another glimpse into their basketball souls.
The Thunder played with a chip on their collective shoulder last season, scratching and clawing for respectability every step of the way. There have been times this season, however, that they didn't exhibit that same sort of edge. Part of that comes with the journey they've been on as a group. Part of it has to do with the fact that they've gone, in three short seasons, from the hunter to the hunted.
There is an attitude adjustment that comes with that change in dynamic. Perkins knows all about it, having toiled for a Celtics team that served as a league punching bag before the Big 3 showed up and guided the franchise to a championship in their first season together.
That thin line between confidence and arrogance has to be navigated carefully, especially so early in what the Thunder hope will be a long season.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Medical Practice Fired Woman Who Complained About Harassment, Federal Agency Charges
PITTSBURGH – A prominent cardiology practice in Washington, Pa., unlawfully subjected female employees to egregious sexual harassment and fired one woman in retaliation for her opposition to the harassment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it announced today.
According to the EEOC's suit, Moncel Deitz, who worked as a registered nurse, and a class of female employees were subjected to a sexually hostile work environment by three cardiologists, who were owners, shareholders or officers of the medical practice. The EEOC charges in its lawsuit against Bryan C. Donohue, M.D., doing business as Donohue Cardiology Associates, that these doctors frequently made sexually offensive and degrading comments to Deitz and other female employees. One doctor repeatedly suggested that Deitz or other nurses should perform oral sex on male patients, the EEOC said, and this doctor frequently undressed in front of female employees instead of changing in the dressing room. Another doctor allegedly often insisted that Deitz and other female employees view sexually explicit pictures and messages displayed on his cell phone.
Deitz and other employees complained to the harassers and to other owners/shareholders of the practice, to no avail. The EEOC said that instead of stopping the sexually harassing comments and conduct, the medical practice terminated Deitz in retaliation for her opposition to the sexual harassment.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it unlawful to sexually harass an employee and to retaliate against someone who complains about employment discrimination. The EEOC filed suit (Civil Action No. 09-1280, in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania) after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. The EEOC seeks back pay on behalf of Deitz, compensatory and punitive damages for Deitz and the class members, and other injunctive relief.
"No woman should be forced to endure unrelenting sexual harassment in order to earn a living," said Debra Lawrence, acting regional attorney for the EEOC's Philadelphia District Office, which oversees Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, Maryland and parts of New Jersey and Ohio. "It was not only heartless for the cardiology practice to terminate Ms. Deitz for opposing the hostile work environment, it was blatantly illegal."
According to its web site, http://donohuecardiology.org, Donohue Cardiology Associates has five offices in Pennsylvania.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Before time as know it began, gods and goddesses lived in the City of Asgard. Odin All-Father crossed the Rainbow Bridge to walk among men in Midgard. Thor defended Asgard with his mighty hammer. Mischievous Loki was constantly getting into trouble with the other gods, and dragons and giants walked free.
This collection of norse sagas retold by Padraic Column gave us a sense of that magical time when the world was filled with powers and wonders we can hardly imagine.

And for those who really wants to stay on fit there are several free exercices (running, biking, etc.)
#2 well, not true, I'm using it, most of the time, more than 3 times during the week...
#3 it is very important for me to go to a club, is doing sport that i'm feeling really fine. It is a Squash Club, special sport for office workers.
#4 well.. I do both (free exersices and and paid ones ) running, biking... but the only place where i can do swimming is at the gym, I go to the gym 5 times per week.

#5 hehe with the great 6 pac and excellent body tone i got from going to the gym not to mention the socializing and the extra care in my eating habits make the gym the best expense, so anyone who doesn't have a gym membership i suggest you get one. you will get a nicer body, more energy, learn to eat better, socialize with interesting people you proly wouldn't meet otherwise and lets be real here, i pay 150$ a month for my gym, i bet most of you people pay that for your cable service... at least im getting healthier with my choices.
#6 your right $150 for cable is about right. Hats off to the healthy guy
#7 I watch cable while I'm running or biking at the gym so my gym membership doubles as my cable bill since we don't have cable at home.

The Ravens took a haymaker early, but they've answered with one of their own.
After a 90-yard punt return from Trindon Holliday put the Ravens in a hole and a mishandled kickoff return from Jacoby Jones put the Ravens in a bind and a misfired throw from Joe Flacco to Tandon Doss forced them to punt again to Holliday, the tide turned with the tossing of a yellow flag.
Pass interference on Denver moved the ball from the Baltimore eight to the 33. Two plays later, Flacco heaved a bomb and Torrey Smith ran past cornerback Champ Bailey, caught the ball, and cashed in on a 59-yard score.
Smith's ability to hit full speed should be encouraging to Ravens fans, given that he showed up on the injury report Thursday with a back injury.

Did you know that used motor oil never wears out? It just gets dirty and can be recycled, cleaned, and used again. Recycling used motor oil conserves a natural resource (oil) and is good for the environment too! Motor oil poured onto the ground or into storm drains, or tossed into trash cans (even in a sealed container) can contaminate and pollute the soil, groundwater, streams, and rivers (and it's illegal!). Recycling your used motor oil reduces this pollution threat. When you take your used oil to a certified center for recycling, you are protecting the environment, conserving a valuable resource, and getting paid for it. That's a winning combination!
So how do you do the responsible thing and recycle your oil?
General Public/Do-It-Yourselfer: You can take your oil to a certified collection center (CCC). Many communities have curbside recycling programs that allow you to leave your oil at the curb (properly packaged). Or you can have your oil changed by a service station that recycles the oil for you. More information for do-it-yourselfers.
Businesses: Businesses that generate small quantities of used oil can use the same options that the general public uses. Certified collection centers may set a maximum daily limit of 5 gallons of used oil per person per day. If the CCC has the tank capacity, they may set a daily limit up to 55 gallons per person per day. With large quantities of used oil, it is recommended to call a CCC in advance. If you purchase/use larger quantities, you may qualify to register as an industrial generator. You will need to have your used oil picked up by a certified hauler.
Growers/Ranchers: Growers and ranchers have the same options as other businesses and the general public. They may also drop off (at no charge) up to 55 gallons of used oil at specific participating collection centers.
Certified haulers take the oil from the collection centers or generators to a recycling facility.
About the Certified Centers
CalRecycle encourages the recycling of used motor oil by certifying used oil recycling collection centers throughout the state. Certified Used Oil Collection Centers will take used motor oil from the public and will pay you 40¢ a gallon. Most centers will take up to 5 gallons at a time.
What About Contaminated Oil?
Certified center managers will not accept used motor oil that has been contaminated with other fluids such as antifreeze, solvents, gasoline, or water. So please, don't mix your used oil with anything. However, if your used oil accidentally gets contaminated, your certified center manager can tell you where to take it for proper disposal. Alternatively, you can get information from your local government contact about how to deal with your suspected contaminated oil.
