The Bureau of Land Management is trying something new in wild horse management, its asking for ideas from the public.
The BLM shut down operations at the Palomino Valley Wild Horse and Burro Facility for a day, then opened the gates to the public 20 miles north of Reno.
Packs of horses run around. They eat and drink in 20 pens. A wrangler shows off a horse tipping machine. The animals are herded down a metal chute and into the tipping machine where they are held firmly and hooves trimmed quickly.
Even though fewer than 50 people showed up for the tour, tensions were high.
Members of the Native Wild Horse Protection group were here. Jetara Sehart came all the way from Marin County.
"I can't imagine that they take the horses from the wild where there are trees and shade and rocks and crevices and bring them into this unnatural concentration camp like setting with no shelter." -- Jetara Sehart, Native Wild Horse Protection
The BLM has always had to cope with concerns about food, water and death. A recent heat wave heightened all those concerns. So, BLM Wild Horse Specialist Debbie Collins suggested a collaboration with the public. The first meeting was held at Reno City Hall and lasted 4 hours.
"All those issues blew up a within a week to ten days. We want to try this out and let the public see first hand and that we want to listen to them and our only hope is that it will be constructive and productive tonight." -- Debbie Collins, BLM Wild Horse Specialist
The BLM says it could use some help. Wranglers at the Palomino Valley Facility are trying to cope with 18-times the usual number of horses and horse pens nation-wide are full.

Baltimore – Junior attackman Rob Grimm (Black River, N.Y.) tied a career high with five points on three goals and two assists as the host Retrievers never trailed and held off Towson, 10-9, in the 42nd meeting between the beltway rivals.
UMBC has now won four out of the last five meetings between the two squads.
Senior midfielder Jamie Kimbles (Centreville, Md./Queen Anne's) and freshman attackman Ryan Johnston (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) each scored a pair of goals for UMBC. Grimm was selected as UMBC's America East Player of the Game.
Towson was led by a pair of attackman – junior Sean McGuire and senior Tim Stratton – who each contributed two goals and an assist.
The Retrievers improved to 3-0 when they win the face-off battle, as they outdrew Towson, 13-9. Freshman midfielder Phil Poe (Harwood, Md./De Matha) captured 13 of his 21 attempts, collected eight ground balls and scored his first collegiate goal.
The Retrievers pounced early, scoring three goals in the first 5:56. Grimm opened the scoring just 1:25 into the game with an unassisted tally and Poe added a score six seconds later after winning the draw cleanly.
UMBC led, 4-1, after one quarter and built the lead to a game-high four goals at 6-2 on a Grimm man-up goal with 4:17 to play in the half. But McGuire countered 42 seconds later to bring the Tigers within 6-3 at intermission.
Towson extended that rally to a 4-0 run and tied the contest at 6-6 with 7:44 to play in the third quarter.
But a Kimbles man-up goal with 5:36 to play in the stanza triggered a 4-1 Retriever surge. UMBC led, 8-7 after three quarters and built the lead to 10-7 on scores by Johnston and Grimm, the latter with 7:41 to play.
UMBC seemed to have the game in hand, possessing the ball with a three-goal lead and the ball after a save by junior goalkeeper Brian McCullough (Garden City, N.Y.) with 64 seconds remaining. But McCullough slipped behind the goal and the Tigers' McGuire converted the ensuing turnover into their eighth goal with 1:02 to play.
Poe won the ensuing draw for UMBC, but the Retriever defense committed another give-away in its own end and Towson's Pat Britton trimmed the advantage to 10-9 with 31 seconds left.
Towson captured the game's last draw and had three shots in the final 12 seconds, but all three missed the mark, including a sprawling attempt by McGuire from close range in the final seconds.
McCullough made 11 saves for UMBC as Towson outshot the hosts, 31-22. Towson starting netminder Travis Love allowed UMBC's first three goals and did not make a stop in the first 7:40 of play, and reliever Andrew Wascavage made four saves while allowing seven goals in 52:20.
Grimm posted his fourth five-point career game. Ironically, his first occurred in his freshman campaign against the same Towson team when he scored two goals and added three helpers. He has two other five-point games this season, posting those efforts at Presbyterian ad North Carolina.
UMBC is now 21-11 in games decided by three goals or less since 2007 and has won 14 of its last 18 one-goal decisions.
The Retrievers return to America East action on Saturday, April 9 when they host Binghamton. Opening face-off time is set for noon.

Cloud Computing Expo on Ulitzer
"With cloud computing, price to deploy applications goes through the floor while flexibility to scale those applications goes through the ceiling!" says WaveMaker CEO Chris Keene, in this lively round-up of CEO and CTO opinions to get a sense of The State of Cloud Computing compiled and published by Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan. 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo is taking place this week at the Santa Clara Convention Center (November 2-4, 2009).
Keene's take on what's driving Cloud Computing enterprise-wise is just one of several high-profile contributions. Those contributing to Geelan's impromptu survey include: RightScale CEO Michael Crandell; the Chairman & CEO of WaveMaker, Chris Keene; the CTO of GigaSpaces, Nati Shalom; Lew Cirne, Founder & CEO of New Relic; Mitchell Kertzman of Hummer Winblad Venture Partners; and the Chief Technology Officer of CSC, Bill Koff.
QUESTION #1: What in your view are the Top Two drivers of the adoption of Cloud Computing?
NATI SHALOM, GigaSpaces
1. Business agility – the ability to deploy new applications quickly
2. Efficiency – the ability to run application more effectively and reduce cost as a result of that (Note that I'm not referring on reducing cost at a machine level)
MICHAEL CRANDELL, RightScale
1. Business agility
2. Cost reduction.
1. Economics & Business Value
2. Speed
CHRIS KEENE, WaveMaker
The top drivers are price and flexibility. With cloud computing, price to deploy applications goes through the floor while flexibility to scale those applications goes through the ceiling!
LEW CIRNE, New Relic
1. By far the top driver is speed: speed to procure and provision infrastrcture, platforms and applications. We see business demanding IT solutions in days, and traditional IT often can't respond faster than in months. For example, an application development team in the business unit might need a server immediately to run a load test. The central IT team - burdened as they are with shrinking budgets and increased demands on their time - may respond with something like say "please fill out a form and we'll procure that server for you and provision it. It should be ready in 4-6 weeks." Unable to wait that long, the team gets a cloud-based instance running on EC2 in 10 minutes.
2. The second driver is financial. Enterprise IT organizations are tired of buying more hardware and software than they need with large cash outlays up front. The days of shelfware are almost over, and everybody benefits from that - except perhaps the shelfware vendor.
QUESTION #2: What is the biggest category of user currently using the Cloud?
Web email users
Consumer-facing web sites
Wide variety from SMB to Enterprise today. Biggest category is "forward thinking."
QUESTION #3: Which in your view are the Top Five Companies in the Cloud as at late Fall 2009?
• Amazon
• VMware
• GoGrid
• Rackspace
• Citrix
• Amazon
• Rackspace
• VMware
• Eucalyptus
• RightScale ;-)
There is more smoke than light in the cloud debate these days. My vote for the top 5 cloud companies includes the four companies that make up the IBM Cloud Quick Start Program - Amazon, IBM, RightScale WaveMaker - and Eucalyptus, which makes moves the private cloud from dream to reality.
"I think the top players in cloud are those names you'd expect (Amazon, Rackspace, Salesforce, etc.) but the more interesting question is this: What are the top five companies that are having their world turned upside down because of the cloud? Historically, enterprise software companies have built out their business by taking heavyweight software 'solutions' to market with a large, expensive direct sales force.
This has been very expensive, and the customer has borne the burden of that cost. Now, enterprises are adopting cloud solutions because of their instant access and pay-only-for-what you use benefits, and this drives a totally different delivery model for the vendor. As the cloud totally changes go-to-market and deployment models for software vendors, the firms that are locked into the historical direct models will have significant challenges adapting to this new world order. So I think SAP, IBM Software Group, Oracle (despite Larry's rhetoric), HP and CA will all have a very tough time changing their business models to provide viable cloud solutions for their customers."
QUESTION #4: Who is NOT currently using the Cloud, who maybe ought to be?
Enterprise users
Many financial services firms - while they are certainly looking at cloud and will no doubt adopt it in due course, are for good reason very concerned about the security questions related to adopting cloud infrastructure, especially public cloud infrastructure. I think those security issues will get addressed over time, but there will be certain classes of applications that will always make sense to run on dedicated hardware in a private data center.
Anyone who has not begun an effort to move the 40% of apps that are "low hanging fruit" -- i.e. not highly security sensitive, transient demand, could benefit from quick deployment.
Deploying mission critical application, Deploying performance or latency sensitive applications, Deploying Complex applications (with lots of ties to the organization)
QUESTION #5: In which sector of IT do you think Cloud Computing will make its impact most noticeably in 2010?
Infrastructure: Storage
Bringing web development and deployment to the masses through visual, easy-to use cloud development platforms.
We see a lot of interest in government agencies for private clouds to dramatically reduce their IT infrastructure costs and improve agility. (When's the last time you heard "Government" and "Agility" in the same sentence?)
QUESTION #6: What is the killer app for cloud computing?
Ecosystem is the killer app for cloud computing. Integrating solutions from multiple vendors to create a best of breed solution is what the cloud does best. In the cloud, ecosystems are easier to create, both from a business and technical point of view. They are also much more transparent, as the results of their efforts are available for the whole world to see. Two good examples include the Cloud Quick Start program with IBM, Amazon, RightScale and WaveMaker, as well as the ecosystem for cloud business intelligence launched a little over a month ago featuring Jaspersoft, RightScale, Talend and Vertica.

Revolutionary Guards
Revolutionary Guards, officially the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) or Pasdaran, Iranian military group formed in the aftermath of the 1979 revolution by young Islamic activists loyal to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini . Originally intended as a people's army that would defend the country's Islamic rule and its revolutionary values, it also acted as a counterweight to Iran's regular military forces. The Guards grew into a major military force during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s. Now generally considered Iran's dominant military organization, it is responsible for the country's internal security, oversees Iran's strategic weapons, commands the volunteer Basij religious militia, and is in charge of the charitable foundations ( bonyads ) that are integral to the nation's economy; the group is also reported to be significantly involved in and enriched by black-market smuggling. The elite branch of the Guards, the Quds [Jerusalem] force, is responsible for its foreign activities. By the early 21st cent. the Revolutionary Guards included ground, naval, air, intelligence, and special forces components. The organization has considerable political influence; many members of parliament, cabinet ministers, and other politicians (including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ) have been members. In Oct., 2007, the United States imposed sanctions on the Revolutionary Guards, which it accused of supporting terror attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq, and against its Qods force, which it accused of supporting the Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Taliban in Afghanistan. Under President Ahmadinejad, the Guards' political and economic influence grew, and the support of it and the Basij militia was critical to the suppression of protests after Ahmadinejad disputed reelection (2009). The Guards have also provided support and forces in support of the Syrian and Iraqi governments in their conflicts with Sunni rebels in the 2010s.

Eric McGowen, wanted for fleeing from his trial in Liberty County on charges of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl, has been arrested by a team of law enforcement officers led by the U.S. Marshals in Houston, according to a press release from the agency.
McGowen, 20, was sought on a bench warrant issued in Liberty after fleeing his trial Aug. 29. McGowen, along with 19 others, was standing trial for sexually assaulting an 11-year-old child in late 2010 in Cleveland, Texas. On Aug. 30, McGowen was convicted of the crime and received a sentence of 99 years.
After a weeklong investigation, U.S. Marshals developed information placing McGowen at an apartment in Pinelake Village in Houston. McGowen was found in the apartment, taken into custody and transported to the Liberty County Jail without incident.

The Department of Public Health has been criticized by both the EPA and some lawmakers for failing to distribute nearly a half billion dollars to communities for clean drinking water.
Supporters of the bill say people who need clean water would be better served if the State Water Resources Control Board ran the program.
But opponents say the water board lacks a public health focus, and moving the program would cause further problems.
Democratic Assemblymember Henry Perea, the bill's author, says he's working with Governor Jerry Brown's administration to address those concerns.
"Really what we're doing is creating greater accountability in shifting all of our water quality programs under one roof," says Perea. "Instead of having our water quality programs siloed now everybody will be talking to each other. We think that will create greater accountability and greater efficiency within the overall system."

UNF students urging lawmakers not to hike tuition | News
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Students at the 11 schools in the State University System of Florida are rallying together to try to keep tuition from going up next year. Florida law allows a 15% tuition increase, and for the past several years it has gone up.
"I struggle to pay for it every semester," said University of North Florida student Amanda Weimar.
The 19-year-old junior is hoping to graduate with a degree in psychology, but if the cost of tuition keeps going up, she said she may not be able to afford it.
"It really is a big deal right now because I'm struggling to pay for my books this semester."
UNF Student Government President Carlo Fassi is encouraging students to take part in the "Aim Higher" campaign to urge lawmakers to invest in higher education. Fassi said it won't just help students but also the economy by having a more educated workforce.
Fassi has ordering 4000 postcards to pass out on campus so students can write on them and mail them to Tallahassee.
"We want them to write why they feel the state should invest in higher education and that they can't take another tuition increase like they have the past five years. Since I've been a student here tuition has gone up 70% since 2009," said Fassi.
In 2000, in-state residents paid about $51 per credit hour. Now it's $170.
Weimar said she plans to take part in the "Aim Higher" campaign and hopes lawmakers will listen.
"We really need to rally for this and get a lot of people to get in because if we don't have the numbers it won't matter. We need to show them we care," said Weimar.
A rally is planned for this Monday at noon in the UNF Student Union Plaza to kick off the "Aim Higher" campaign.

I don't particularly want to admit that Natsume's Gabrielle's Ghostly Groove 3D is my favorite game on the 3DS, but when I play a game every chance I can get for two weeks straight I feel I should mention it. Be gentle.
What can I say, I'm a sucker for handheld rhythm games. Blame Elite Beat Agents if you must blame anything. I'd been meaning to check out the WiiWare version, Gabrielle's Ghostly Groove: Monster Mix, so when I saw this on the shelf at my local Games N' Stuff (not a real store) I had to grab it.
As for the collecting new outfits and hair and makeup stuff, that falls squarely on the shoulders of the editor that assigned me Style Savvy to review two years ago.
In conclusion, this is a whole lot of fun and I don't care who knows OR this is totally not my fault. Choose your own ending.

BISD addresses soccer fiasco
School officials from two districts have been mulling over the events that led up to an altercation this past week at a girl's soccer game played between Beaumont Independent School District's Ozen High School and Bridge City High School. In the aftermath, BISD athletic director Rodney Saveat issued a statement concerning what the district is calling "inappropriate conduct."
"After an examination of the officials' reports and statements from witnesses and administrators of both schools, it has been found that at the close of the post-game handshake, there was an exchange of heated words among a few members of both teams," Saveat said. "This verbal exchange allowed emotions to take control of the better judgment of some of the student-athletes and led to a brief physical altercation between some of the players. The incident was quickly controlled by the officials and coaches present.
"Members of the Ozen girls' soccer team who participated in the willful acts of player misconduct have been identified and disciplinary action has been applied, including probation and suspension from all athletic activities for the remainder of the 2011-2012 school year and a broad range of game suspensions for the 2012-2013 soccer season.
"It is unfortunate that this incident occurred and we will continue in our efforts to work closely with members of this team and all of our student-athletes' character building and development."

When parents send their children off to college, they expect their kids to be part of a safe, secure environment. Count Lakeland College among the schools that make meeting this expectation a priority.
SafeWise Security Systems, a national home security resource company, has included Lakeland on its list of "4 Colleges That Get an 'A' in Campus Security."
The list, which also includes Stanford University, Gonzaga in Spokane, Wash., and Sheridan College in Wyoming, can be seen online at SafeWise.com.
"Lakeland works hard at making sure our students, faculty and staff are learning and living in a safe environment," said Nate Dehne, vice president for student development & athletics. "Our inclusion on this list is a nice compliment to our director of safety and security, Annette Gamache, and her staff. We have been confident that we are doing a good job, but it's always nice to see an outside source affirming that we're doing well."
Lakeland's safety and security team includes two full-time staff members and it recently added five part-time professional employees. The department also employs a number of student workers, often criminal justice majors who are getting real-life experience to support what they're learning in the classroom.
The department offers 24-hour "safe rides" between buildings for students and employees, vehicle jump starts and self-defense classes.

This interview was done a couple of months back around the time of the release of the RTZ comp but functions better now as more of a stand-alone collection of reflections on music, technology and art — and if that sounds too vague, trust me, this was some very thoughtful stuff. Part of it very much made me think of M. Matos's Slow Listening Movement, but the issues touched on cover wider areas than that. To quote a section:
…the other day I came across the first Sun City Girls LP on a blog. It's absolutely out of print, no way I will probably ever see it in a store or on eBay for a sum I could afford, so that left me with a clear conscience about downloading it for free. But I realized, how much pleasure would I get from it anyway? Why do that? Just to say I have it, that I have heard it? I decided not to download it because it would be much more enjoyable to at least share the experience with someone else. Maybe someone will play it for me one day. Until then, it's just information.
And I do believe we are becoming addicted to information. You only need to look at those people who have hard drives filled with songs that they have never even listened to. They are not even collecting music. They are collecting information. And the more people become addicted to information and the faster they can obtain that information, the less they will be able to contemplate that information, and it is the contemplation of the information which makes it art.
And there's much more besides, ranging from Paul Virilio to the value of community. Pleasure of an interview and I have to thank Ben again for taking the time and placing such thought into his answers.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Jeff Walker says from as far back as he can remember, he always wanted to be a father.
Jeff Walker, with his two daughters, tried to adopt, but ultimately turned to surogacy to build a family.
"It was always something I knew, from the time I was a child." Just like his 3-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, who says she wants to be a mommy someday, Jeff says, "I knew I wanted to be a daddy."
Walker, a Manhattan music executive, says he and his partner had talked about adopting a baby years ago. But after three emotionally draining, failed attempts at adoption, they decided to turn to surrogacy. They contacted Circle Surrogacy, a Boston agency that specializes in gay clients. Their child was conceived with a donor egg, and then the embryo implanted in the surrogate, or carrier.
After Elizabeth was born, Walker and his partner separated. He then made a critical decision -- to become a dad again, single, and by choice.
"I realized my family, my two-dad family was going to look different than I thought it was going to look," he said. Without a partner, he would face even steeper challenges raising Elizabeth and a sibling alone. Walker says he gave the decision a lot of thought.
"That was the only part that was really controversial, because I do think there are a lot of challenges that single parents face, but at the same time I felt I was capable of handling those challenges," he said.
His second daughter, Alexandra, was born two years ago to the same surrogate, implanted with an egg from a different donor.
Walker, 45, is one of a growing number of single men -- both gay and straight -- who are opting to become fathers alone, with the help of gestational surrogacy.
Surrogacy experts say because the practice is not regulated, many surrogacy arrangements are handled privately by individuals. Precise figures are hard to come by, but experts say there's no doubt the United States is experiencing a surrogacy baby boom.
Celebrities like Ricky Martin and Clay Aiken announced this year they had had babies with the help of surrogates and the the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, representing scores of reproductive clinics, reports that the number of gestational surrogate births in the country quadrupled between 1996 and 2006. Watch more on the surrogacy boom »
Surrogacy experts say gestational surrogacy has increased steadily since the advent of in vitro fertilization in the early 1980s, because it provides an extra layer of emotional and legal protection for the client. The egg donor usually does not even know the client, and unlike the legally contentious "Baby M" case from the 1980s, the surrogate is not giving birth to her genetic child.
"It rises as an issue far less frequently with gestational surrogacy, because women never see it as their child to begin with," said John Weltman, president of Circle Surrogacy.
His agency, which expects more than 70 babies to be born in 2009, has seen a 50 percent growth in the number of single male clients over the past year.
Walker and other men are willing to pay well over $100,000 to have a baby through surrogacy -- the final cost depending on the number of IVF treatments necessary and how much is paid by insurance.
Circle is not the only major surrogacy provider experiencing a single-dad surge. At Growing Generations, a Los Angeles, California, agency that facilitates about 100 births a year, the number of single men seeking surrogates has doubled in the past three years, spokeswoman Erica Bowers said.
Although most of their single male clients are gay, surrogacy providers say a smaller but growing number are straight. Steven Harris, a New York malpractice and personal-injury attorney, says he gave up trying to get married when he realized his primary motive was to start a family.
Harris, 54, says he knew he made the right decision after 21-month old Ben was born.
"I thought getting married was the only way to go, because I did want a family. But having Ben, I feel complete now," Harris says.

- Waste Not/Use Less
- Composting and Mulch
Composting and Mulch
In the City of Fayetteville, approximately 29.5% of the waste that we create is organic matter (Kessler Consulting). This includes food waste, yard waste, and biodegradable paper. While organics represent nearly a 1/3 of total waste created in Fayetteville, they also represent a great opportunity for waste diversion since organic matter can be turned into valuable products including compost and mulch.
Purchasing Compost and Mulch at the City
The City offers both compost and mulch for sale at the Compost Facility (1708 S. Armstrong Ave.). Hours of operation:
- Tuesdays and Thursdays 8 a.m. - 3 p.m.
- 1st Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.
- 2nd Saturday of the month, April to October, from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Our yard waste compost is available for purchase by Fayetteville residents. At this time, commercial customers are not able to purchase compost. Please bring a copy of a recent water bill showing solid waste charges for proof of residency. Residents are limited to 1 scoop to ensure ample availability. Read about our Process and Quality Testing.
- $4 per bag plus tax (one bag is approximately 45 lbs). Please call ahead to have bags ready for pick up.
- $20 per scoop plus tax (one scoop equals approximately 2.5 cubic yards or the bed of a pick-up truck)
Mulch (wood chips) is available throughout the year. It may be purchased by Fayetteville residents and non-residents. Mulch costs $10 per scoop plus tax (one scoop equals approximately 2.5 cubic yards or the bed of a pick-up truck).
Yard Waste Composting for Residents
One important component of reducing organic waste is yard waste composting. Currently, the City will pick up yard waste from residential customers as part of their existing trash & recycling service. Residents can also drop up yard waste at the City's composting facility.
Yard waste composting guidelines can be read here.
You can also check out this handy guide to yard waste and home composting.
Food Waste Composting
Food waste represents another important component of organics recovery. The City subscribes to the EPA's Food Waste Recovery Hierarchy which teaches the best way to approach food that could become waste. First, only the amount of food needed should be purchased or prepared. Then, any left over food should be used to feed hungry people, followed by animals. Food that can be used for industrial purposes (oils/fats) should be diverted and the rest composted. Only as a last resort, should food be disposed in a landfill.
Currently, the City encourages residents to compost food waste at home. Check out our backyard composting page for helpful tips and more information on getting started.
During the 2016 waste study, the City completed a food waste compost pilot. Based on the results of the pilot project, the City plans to expand access to food waste composting in the future.

Sen. Charles Schumer says retailers that sell assault weapons should stop offering them for purchase while Congress discusses gun regulation legislation.
Schumer on Sunday released a letter he sent to major retailers asking for a voluntary moratorium.
The Democrat says consumer demand for guns has gone up in the weeks since the December mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.
Schumer says Congress is debating the issue, and if measures get passed that limit these type of weapons, it won't help if more of them have recently been sold.
President Barack Obama has made gun control a top priority. Vice President Joe Biden is expected to give him a comprehensive package of recommendations for curbing gun violence this week.

Hello all,
I am looking to do a project over the next month to develop a file scanner in Java but am new to programming and am unsure if Java is the right medium to use. I want the scanner to look through files on a device for .jpg and .jpeg files extensions and also scan the files for the ÿØÿà file header in case the file has been changed on purpose. I want the scanner to link to a database that can be queried MySQL or PostgreSQL via PHP or JSP and the information of each individual .jpg file to be stored as under a reference number for the PC. I would then like to develop the Java application to offer the option to extract the file itself.
The overall goal of designing the application is to develop a web based tool that can a user can enter a Dropbox/Google Drive/Sky Drive etc account information and the Java tool will scan the folders and files for the .jpg files and send the information to the database so that it can be queried using another web based application that i will develop later.
Before I start down this route (I am prepared to put a lot of hours in learning the right tool) I have these questions:-
Should I be looking to do this with Java or Java Script?
Should I use PHP or JSP to link to the database?
Should I use MySQL or PostgreSQL?
Is this even a viable project due to way Dropbox/Google/Microsoft protect their Cloud storage?
Am I mental to try and develop this as a newbie to programming in the time frame I have?
Many thanks and nervously look forward to the answers!

Well, thanks to my new sewing machine and new and improved sewing area, I am going great guns, and yesterday I finished the quilted window seat cushion for the kitties! It has a zip on the bottom (no pics of that as it was my first ever attempt at a zip and is not pretty!) so that the foam inside can be removed for the cover to be washed. It was a good practice project and I learnt a lot from trying out the templates I bought, as well as rotary cutting just using the ruler, as well as practicing my piecing. I am pleased with it, and the cats like it too!
Tonight I started my next project - quilted scatter cushion covers - four of them. The first top is done, see below. It is 18" square, and I am really pleased with it, I used a lot of tips I had picked up on here, so thank you all!

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – With a few home dates under their belts this season, the Georgia College basketball teams have been able to showcase a new look to the Centennial Center hardwood, as Georgia College athletics recently completed a repaint of the main floor.
The new paint job prominently features the school's new spirit logos, and is just the third design since Georgia College joined the NCAA Division II in 1990-91.
"The new floor design helps create a more inviting atmosphere for Bobcat fans and visitors," said Wendell Staton, Director of Athletics. "A redesign was well over due, and we've already received numerous compliments on the results. We look forward to this surface continuing to be the showcase for our basketball teams, and our upcoming inaugural season of volleyball in fall 2013."
The redesign utilizes more of the natural wood color, brightening the look of the court overall, and helping the Bobcat blue and green pop with more prominence. The court also now prominently features the new GC icon spirit logo, furthering the department's branding initiatives.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at www.twitter.com/BobcatSports and www.facebook.com/gcbobcats for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GC Athletics Hall of Fame.

Who needs a "Fast 8" when you can have "Fast 8," "Fast 9" and "Fast 10"?
Vin Diesel took to Instagram to confirm what we've all been waiting for – "Fast and Furious 8." But that's not all he did. The star also revealed that there would be an entire trilogy, rounding out the franchise to an even 10. "Fast 8" is set for release April 14, 2017, while "Fast 9" and "Fast 10" are hitting theaters on April 19, 2019, and April 2, 2021, respectively.
2021 seems a long way off, but hopefully production will keep in line with the schedule. Diesel teased "Fast 8" for a little while before it was finally confirmed in October that it would definitely be happening. "Straight Outta Compton" director F. Gary Gray is taking charge on the next installment, announcing the news on social media.
"I could not have asked for better partners than Vin Diesel, Neal H. Moritz, & the Universal Studios Entertainment family," he posted. "Together we are excited to bring you the next chapter in the Fast &Furious saga. #FastFamily."
Although Gray formally announced the news in October, other cast members such as Michelle Rodriguez had been teasing fans with a potential follow-up. "We need a good reason to move on after Paul [Walker]," she told E! News in September. "And being that this is a global franchise now, it's not just the American baby, it's important that we consider moving on and take it seriously."
She continued, "But for us as a cast, I think we need a reason and it needs to have heart, so hopefully we'll find it, you know? And somebody who's passionate about directing it – I think that's the most important thing is finding a good director."
Diesel promised to "deliver one last trilogy to end saga" in a September Facebook post, but if these three turn out to be as successful as all of the others, maybe, just maybe, they'll keep on going.
(E! and Universal Pictures are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College softball team (5-7) used a pair of stellar pitching performances from senior Haley Burnett (Columbus, Ga.) and freshman Erica Bell (Fayetteville, Ga.) to sweep the Saint Andrews University Knights (4-8) Wednesday afternoon at the Peeler Complex. The duo held the Knights scoreless en route to 2-0 and 10-0 victories, respectively.
In game one, Bell (2-1) was virtually flawless, dicing up the St. Andrews lineup for five strikeouts in a complete game shutout. Bell walked just two and allowed a pair of hits, picking up the second victory of her young career.
A two-out, two-RBI single from sophomore Kelsea Martin (Dacula, Ga.) in the bottom of the sixth inning would prove to be the difference in game one. Martin was 2-for-3 in game one with a pair of singles and a stolen base.
Whitney Okvist (Kennesaw, Ga.) and Mikayla Sparks (Macon, Ga.) would score the go-ahead runs, each adding a hit on the day.
Burnett picked up right where Bell left off, carrying a no-hitter into the final inning before allowing a leadoff double.
She went five strong innings allowing just the one hit while striking out five to pick up her second win of the year.
The GC offense exploded in game two with eight different Bobcat players recording a hit. Dani Gallucci (Orlando, Fla.) led the charge going 3-for-3 with a double, home run, three runs and one RBI.
Freshman Frankie Walls (Dahlonega, Ga.) chipped in with two RBI and a run in a 1-for-2 showing.

Perez will improve at McLaren - Button

McLaren will bring the best out of Sergio Perez and improve him as a driver, according to his new team-mate Jenson Button.
Perez joins McLaren after an impressive opening to 2012 with Sauber gave way to a run of six races without a point at the end of the year. Speaking after the unveiling of the new McLaren MP4-28, however, Button said he'd been impressed by what he'd seen from Perez last season and expected him to improve quickly at McLaren.
"The positives definitely for me were in a very difficult race in Malaysia," Button said. "Obviously he had a fantastic result finishing second and so close to the victory - I'm sure he still thinks about that moment right now - but also in Monza; I wasn't in the race at the end so I was able to watch Checo come through the field and chase down Lewis at the end so two really, really good races and races that he should be very proud of.
"But then, obviously you had the other race in Suzuka with Lewis, which was a great fight again but it obviously came off the other way. But that's racing; you have good races when you're talented and of course you're going to have bad races, there's always going to be a balance, but I think for the consistency through the year was very good in terms of the results and the results that should have come but didn't as well. So there's a lot more I'm sure we'll see from Checo in the next few years and improvements in working with McLaren - a team that's achieved so much - it really does bring the best out of you."
Perez himself believes he and the team have done "an incredible job" so far to help him settle in and get used to the new car in the simulator.
"For me it has been incredible, so exciting. I've never been so excited - even when I came in to Formula One or anything else - it's really something special that I'm looking forward to the new season. It has been a very busy couple of months and we have done an incredible job with my engineers working together in the simulator to understand the car and I think if we can do the same in the next couple of days of testing to prepare myself for the first race we're going to have an incredible preparation."

Sometimes when there's no news....
(OK, so I didn't really. Slept like a rock thanks to a wacked travel schedule and a few pints of cheap beer. But for the purposes of this post, let's pretend that I did.)
This being the "building" Toronto Blue Jays, Doc wasn't spared in my dream. Even my subconscious has come to accept it. No, Doc was traded away for the best haul of young talent AA could find, and that's that.
But in my dream, the rotation was just fine. Shaun Marcum came back dropping his beautiful change-up on the league. Dustin McGowan made it two straight Comeback Player of the Year awards for the Jays, dominating the opposition with his mid-90's heat and hammer breaking ball. Hey, the time off did him some good. He was much more poised in 2010 than we'd seen from him in seasons prior. Forgotten man Jesse Litsch was an adequate back-end starter coming off his TJ - a rite of passage for the club. Ricky Romero duplicated his '09 success and Brett Cecil showed the baseball world why he is held in such high esteem by fans of the Jays.
The bullpen held their own, made possible by one of the untold concessions Cito made to return as manager - complete autonomy over the staff by new pitching coach Bruce Walton.
Offensively, some said Aaron Hill regressed, dropping to 25 HR from his career high of 36 in '09. But me? I'm just fine with the power drop, considering his OBP climbed by 40 points. It was more of the same from fellow Silver Slugger Adam Lind, he of the .900+ OPS.
Randy Ruiz and Brian Dopirak held down the old 1B/DH fort, thanks to a salary dump of incumbent (and under appreciated) Lyle Overbay. The results? Not great, but not disastrous. Except for the defense - that was baaaad. A not unfamiliar story unfolded across the diamond, as Easy Ed Encarnacion left us all confused as to whether he was brilliant or awful, depending on the day of the week. Strange player, that one. Catching was a bit of a hot mess - that is, until September recall JP Arencibia proved he was ready to be The Man in the future. Let's not talk about what happened at shortstop. God, I miss Scutaro. Though not for that price, I suppose.
Surprises? Vernon Wells was pretty good. Not $20M good, and not good enough to drown out the season long chorus of boos, but a return to his career-average OPS of .800 was much easier to swallow than his shitshow '09 season we all lived through. And hey - Travis Snider got better - despite butting heads with his manager all season - and learned to lay off the occasional down & away breaking ball. He's going to be a good one.
Then I woke up. And cringed in fear at what this December's Winter Meetings hold in store.
I think I need a few more pints.

Was thinking about Wells, and his possible performance post-surgery.
And I figured that even if he hit 30-100-.850, you'd still hear complaints all season long about his contract.
In some ways, as a fan, I think I just have to write off the contract in my mind, and look at him without the money becoming a consideration.
Wish me luck.

Tao, it's highly unlikely that Vernon gets his shit together and he will remain an albatross on the team's neck for some time to come. a miracle/blessing will occur if he is for some reason traded.

Thanks for the possibilities Ack. The thing is, if we see an increase in the output by handful of the young guys this year, there is plenty of reason for optimism - but undoubtedly there are too many holes to accomplish a lot. Yes, it would take everybody playing at full potential to make it a really good year, but it is possible (not saying probable) that this is the year that convinces Beeston and Rogers that 2011 is wallet-open season.

I think that was pretty well put in terms of what we can hope for. Though it would take a miracle for this to come true, it might not be that far fetched. JP Arencibia is not inspiring confidence which is not cool. I think our success or at least our ability to put up a semblance of competition rests on:
- Avioding too large a regress from Adam Lind and Aaron Hill
- A bounce back year from Vernon Wells. Doesn't need to be dramatic though that wouldn't hurt, just enough to get the boo birds off his back and the ability to hit high in the order for a good portion of the season.
- Finally, we need a comeback from McGowan and Marcum and this is what I'm most concerned about.
- In terms of shortstop and catcher, yes this is a problem as Marco was the main reason for our early success but maybe Vernon can bounce back and help fill that void offensively and maybe we can get something out of Brian Dopirack to replace Barajas.
- If all this falls into place, who knows.
- November 15, 2009 at 10:12 PM
haha trade Wells? Not unless you want Zito

You have very specific dreams..... I dream about green, disembodied heads floating in my front lawn, and my teeth falling out.

Global Gaming Factory's purchase of The Pirate Bay was surprising. But even more surprising is that they offered an even bigger sum to Mininova, one of the other huge public BitTorrent trackers.
Apparently, GGF and Mininova had a contract good to go, based on Mininova escaping their court case unscathed. That didn't happen, and now Mininova filters its torrents for copyrighted material, essentially neutering it.
Of course, whether or not GGF actually had 20 million euros to throw at Mininova is debatable. GGF had a month to come up with the $US7.8 million it agreed to pay The Pirate Bay after its shareholders approved the deal, and that deadline has passed with nothing happening.
According to TorrentFreak, GGF had big plans to buy up all the major trackers and turn them into legitimate music sites that was on the level with record labels. Exactly how they were going to do this is unclear. Sounds like the worst business plan ever! And with the Pirate Bay deal seeming dead in the water, you've got to wonder just who these GGF guys are and what the hell they were thinking. [TorrentFreak]

The SoCal Disc Golf Association board met on Saturday, January 4th for its first meeting of the new year. In addition to the typical housekeeping and procedural issues, the board also discussed the points system used to award SoCal Series divisional championships. A lively discussion had been held at the SoCal end-of-year banquet regarding the points system, with critics of the current system expressing the opinion that the points system was giving too much weight to events that featured large fields or more than two rounds of golf and not enough credit to winners of smaller, one-day events. A proposal for changes to the points system was made at the general membership meeting that occurs as part of the year-end banquet, but that proposal failed to garner enough votes to make changes.
The board continued this discussion at the Jan. 4th meeting. There was general agreement that the series had become dominated by a small number of large-field, two-day events. For example, since the series points system only counted the best 4 tournament point totals for Ams and best 5 for Pros, players could place highly in the standings by playing only the series' 2-day events (Wintertime Open, La Mirada, Summertime Open, Cannonball Run, Goleta, Wrightwood, Sun Valley, Blue Heron, SoCal Championships), with no 1-day events contributing to their points totals. Board members generally agreed that it would be good to find a way to support increased participation in the often smaller, 1-day events. The board did not feel comfortable with making major changes to the points system without considerable input from the membership. The board did, however, feel that it could make minor adjustments that would not radically change the current system.
The compromise reached was to increase the number of events included in a players' series points total to seven events for both Am and Pro players. This change would increase the likelihood that more 1-day events would be used in players' point totals. There was concern that this change would greatly increase the number of events that players seeking division titles would have to play, thus increasing the financial burden for players wishing to be competitive in the title chase. But an analysis of the number of events played by top competitors for the points titles (defined as the top 1/3 of each division in the final points totals) found that top Am players played an average of 7 events in 2013, while top Pro players played an average of 8 events. Thus, players who were seriously competing for the titles were already playing as many events as the rule change called for.
The increase in number of events included in series point totals will go into effect for the current (2014) points series. All other components of the series points system (5 participation points per 18-hole round, 1 point per player beat or tied, 1 bonus point for a win, up to 10 bonus points for number of events played awarded for participation in series championship event) will stay as is. The board encourages members to use this season to discuss both the goals of and the mechanism for the points series in preparation for December's year-end players meeting.

There's few physical contests more grueling than the Ironman-distance triathlon – a grueling full day of running, swimming, and biking – over 220 km of energy output. How can you get faster? Get more insight.
If you want to get into the sub-12hr range, you're going to have to work for it. Let's use Suunto Movescount's Training Insights to take a look at some of the work you'll have to do. We'll dig into each segment of the race to see what's working best.
When looking at triathletes who are doing Ironman in the range of 10-12 hours, it seems that during the last 15 weeks they are training a bit over 10h a week on average – although statistically, some weeks averages have been over 12h. It's good to note that this data is based on thousands of athletes, so the differences between athletes can be very high. The most hours are spent in cycling; weekly cycling volume is on the average 3-4h a week.
11h Ironman distance triathlete last 15 weeks prior the race
How to then evaluate if you would be ready to tackle your first Ironman or estimate what type of times you should be able to achieve in your race?
Swimming benchmark for 11h Ironman triathletes
A typical 10-12h Ironman racer should be able to swim 3000m in the pool in around one hour. We can see in the insights that an 11h Ironman distance triathlete typically swims 3000m in 57:17 and the 12h Ironman in 1:01:25. Note, these are their fastest times in pool for these distances.
Cycling benchmark for 11h Ironman triathletes
For cycling the 11h Ironman should be able to ride 100km in 3h13m and the 12h Ironman in 3h24m. When looking at the running speed, the 11h Ironman is able to run the half marathon in 1h35min and the 12h Ironman 1h 44min.
Running benchmark for 11h Ironman triathletes
If there's an Ironman in your future, these are great benchmarks to go by – and you can get even deeper with Suunto Movescount's Training Insights.

First-Ever Australian Little League Baseball® Team Wins Its Way to Williamsport
First-Ever Australian Little League Baseball® Team Wins Its Way to Williamsport
The Perth Metro Central Little League team with the first-ever Australia Region Championship banner.
"Today is a historic moment for Australian Baseball," said Brett Pickett, Baseball Australia Chief Executive Officer. "Going to Williamsport is a result of a lot of hard work and true growth of Little League Baseball in Australia. The quality of play seen here is a good indication that baseball in Australia, particularly at the Little League division, is positioned well for the future. Perth Metro will do us proud." This is the second time in the past two years that new countries and continents have made their way to Williamsport. Last year, the Lugazi Little League team from Uganda made history as the first team from Africa to come to the Little League Baseball World Series. With Australia's appearance in 2013, the only continent to never send a team to Williamsport is Antarctica. Little League continues to expand its scope internationally. In addition to Australia, Little League has increased participation throughout Europe as a result of a partnership with the Confederation of European Baseball. Additionally, Little League has been able to increase participation in non-traditional baseball areas such as Africa and Brazil. "Spreading the Little League values throughout the world has always been a big part of our organization," said Mr. Keener. "We have had the great fortune to work with wonderful partners, like Baseball Australia, to provide millions of youth around the world the opportunity to play baseball and softball and to learn the values of Character, Courage and Loyalty." The 67th Little League Baseball World Series begins on Thursday, Aug. 15 in South Williamsport, Pa., with the Championship Game scheduled for 3 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 25. The first-round pairings will be announced after the Little League World Series luncheon on Thursday, June 15. - - - Hi-Res Images: Perth Metro Central team photo: Click Here Keener and Wilson photo on the Little League Museum Viewing Plaza: Click Here

Earlier this week I received some mail from Chanel – yay! It was the look book for the Spring 2011 Chanel Mademoiselle handbag collection. The campaign features Blake Lively and the look book consisted of a set of six postcards packaged in an envelope that had a handle like a bag.
And speaking of Blake Lively, the word on the street is that some folks at Chanel HQ didn't think that Blake Lively was a good "face" for the Coco Mademoiselle line. Because she's American? Hmmm, maybe, Chanel usually has European ladies rep the line. In any case, we think Blake looked stunning in the ad campaign and she embodies the confidence, beauty and sophistication of Chanel. So there.

An 18-year-old Calabasas woman pleaded no contest Monday to felony charges stemming from a series of burglaries at celebrity residences.
Alexis Neiers agreed to serve 180 days in county jail and three years' probation, according to the LA Times. She also must pay restitution to actor Orlando Bloom, whose residence was among the celebrity homes burglarized.
As part of the deal, she agreed to stay away from Bloom and his home, the Associated Press reported. Neiers entered her plea just as jury selection was set to begin in her trial.
"Today, Alexis entered a no-contest plea to one count of residential burglary and accepted some county jail time in order to avoid trial and a possible lengthy state prison sentence," defense attorney Jeffrey J. Rubenstein told reporters outside court.
Investigators said Neiers was one of four hooded people seen on surveillance video entering Bloom's Hollywood Hills home. Neiers is among six people accused of targeting celebrities' homes and stealing millions in jewelry, clothing and other luxury goods.
During an interview with police, Neiers acknowledged being on Bloom's property on July 13 with co-defendant Nicholas Frank Prugo and two other women, but denied taking anything from the house.
Other people targeted by the ring included Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Audrina Patridge and Rachel Bilson, according to investigators. An LAPD detective testified that investigators found Bilson's Marc Jacobs handbag and Lohan's Chanel necklace in Neiers' sister's bedroom.
Neiers' arrest and prosecution in the case coincided with her appearance on the E! Entertainment show "Pretty Wild." The show is about growing up in suburban Los Angeles.
"I think the fact that Orlando Bloom (would testify), and the weight of a celeb testifying against Alexis, made us realize the odds were stacked against us," Rubenstein told E! Online. "This was a last-minute decision. We were ready for trial today."
Neiers trial was scheduled for later this month. If convicted on the felony burglary charged, she could have received a six-year prison sentence.
