Positivity. I always am focused on the next step ahead and never let the negatives in life get me down for an instant. Staying focused on the blessings in my life drives me in my pursuit to achieve success.
You also enjoy cooking. What are your favorite recipes to make?
I'm not one to follow recipes- I see something I like and tweak it to make it my own.
Do you have any cooking traditions?
Being Filipino. all my traditions are from the islands. Getting together with my family and cooking our food reminds me of being home again.
Is this your first time to Miami? What about this city inspires you?
Yes- Miami is alive with culture and excitement. I'm inspired to go out and learn how people from Miami live it up!
You've seen Wynwood Walls transform from a blank slate into a work of art. How did you feel during the transformation of the lot?

Pez Man trudges out in a hospital gown, white socks and a black fedora. Pez Man doesn't look sick.
Since Monday nights are dead anyway, a standup microphone becomes temporary furniture in a cleared space next to a pool table rendered off-limits by a small tarp reading "Evie's Tavern and Grill."
Maybe a dozen people are gathered in chairs and tables along the periphery, absorbing five-minute sketches from a rotation of amateur comics fishing for laughs.
Open mic emcee Kent Perry flashes a smile that looks more like a wince after a real groaner steps aside, and he mutters, "You never know what you're going to get."
Except that Perry knows exactly what the last guy is all about. The last guy has cancer.
His name is David Abolafia, and he calls himself Pez Man. Pez Man trudges out in a hospital gown, white socks and a black fedora. Pez Man doesn't look sick — he weighs about 260 and has the enthusiasm of a cheerleader.
Pez Man opens with a quick "it takes a village" riff to set up some "YMCA" Village People physical shtick that will pay off later. But first, in the very next instant, Pez Man tells his meager audience why he's wearing the weird threads: In December, he was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma Stage III.
Now this is where it gets really tricky, because Abolafia's next setback could be self-inflicted.
Les McCurdy, Sarasota's dean of standup comedy, has seen it all before, the endless parade of hard-luck cases hoping to provoke laughter from loss, diminishment, and all manner of personal mayhem.
"And you better remember you're up there for your audience, not for your own personal catharsis," McCurdy says. "They don't want to be enlightened, they don't want to be inspired — this is not like a theater event.
"They want to laugh their asses off."
So Pez Man has just a few seconds to thaw the chill. He marvels over the absurdity of his predicament. He has become, after all, a human pin cushion enduring medicine-induced erectile dysfunction, new language — "your lymph nodes are chunky" — and a Captain Obvious of a technician who informs him of his low blood count. "No s---!" Pez Man gripes. "Ya took it all!"
Pez Man keeps it moving, doesn't falter, gets a respectable smattering of approval on the slowest night of the week. He leaves the gathered with these words: "Whoever said cancer is not a laughing matter never had cancer or forgot how to laugh."
Or maybe whoever said that was listening to a lousy comic. When it comes to disease and affliction, there are no sacred cows in comedy. At 43, Pez Man — like so many peers — is trying to figure out how far he can press the envelope before it rips.
Birth of Pez Man
Last summer, two-time 2007 "Jeopardy" winner and "Scrabble" aficionado David Abolafia got the performance bug again. He'd never forgotten the rush of the spotlight from his days with an improv troupe, some 15 years earlier, in his native New York. By 2012, he was climbing into the comedy ring.
Abolafia unveiled Pez Man, an alter ego so inept he couldn't — and this is real-life true — figure out out how to work a Pez dispenser. Abolafia dragged Pez Man to clubs from his Sarasota to Ybor City, where he huddled with pros and asked for advice. He was already beginning to think above and beyond his full-time gig as a script writer for a training-video company in Tampa.
Then, late last year, he started getting sick. He thought it was the flu, or maybe diverticulitis. It wouldn't go away. In late December, he got clobbered with the cancer verdict.
Today, on the ground-floor of the Florida Cancer Specialists office in Sarasota, Abolafia has settled in for a six-hour chemo-cocktail drip, which follows the plastic tubing into a port on his chest.
This isn't the first time he's pondered mortality. Nineteen-eighty-eight was a horrible year; Abolafia lost half a dozen friends and relatives within a seven-month span. He was also in Manhattan during 9/11.
"I get it now," says Abolafia. "We're not going to live forever. but life is too short to live in fear. If I can help people come to terms with their own illness, that's what I want to do.
"So I'll be the cancer man."
Growth industry
With some 72 million baby boomers sliding into their mortality years, physical misery and death look to be America's next great growth industry.
For that reason, Palmetto comic Traci "The Princess of Parodies" Kanaan suspects Abolafia is in the right place at the right time.
"David will probably do well if he pursues the cancer survivors idea — he can get that market," Kanaan says.
Touring the country with her keyboards and wit for 10 years, the classically trained musician has been around long enough to know that "stuff that makes you happy isn't funny." The perfect meal, she says, isn't funny. "There's funny in the most horrific."
Having kept a happy face on stage one night "while my mother was on a ventilator and we didn't know if she was going to live or die," Kanaan doesn't have to squint too hard to find levity in personal grief. Her dad was a hot-rod fan, and as the family prepared him for burial, she drew their attention to a missing key ingredient. "There weren't any flames on his casket. He needed flames. They should've been airbrushed, but it was too late for that so we got some magnetic flames to put on it."
Kanaan thinks Abolafia has the sensitivity to make Pez Man work, and she's not alone.
Susan Saiger, who played the dominatrix in the 1982 cult cannibal classic "Eating Raoul," is reflexively wary of those who build routines around a disease that kills more than half a million Americans a year: "I saw a cancer survivor once who did a set at Sidesplitters that just wasn't funny. It was cringeworthy, actually."
Saiger met Abolafia on the Tampa standup circuit last summer — pre-cancer — and liked his poise and persona. After moving back to Los Angeles, she followed Pez Man's latest incarnation online.
"With something like that, there's such a fine line and when David started out, I thought, 'Ohh, dude, I hope you know what you're doing,'" Saiger said. "But David had this sort of calm about him, and he did really, really well. Plus, he's a super-nice guy. It'll be interesting to see how it goes when he comes out on the other side."
Venice resident Lynn Lewis has never met Abolafia but she understands his drive. A longtime motivational speaker who works with First American Title Insurance, Lewis attended McCurdy's Humor Institute years ago, just for the challenge. It would eventually pay off in a way she couldn't anticipate. A decade or so ago, she learned she had breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy that, among other things, required stomach muscle tissue to repair the wound.
Lewis has been doing standup comedy ever since, and cancer figures heavily into the routine. She will tell you, for instance, that she never lost her hair. "I actually kept it in a jar." She will confide how "sometimes when I'm really hungry, my breast will growl." She concedes she can cross the lines of taste and discretion.
"It's your choice, isn't it?" says Lewis, who also speaks at cancer fundraisers. "Bad things are going to happen to you, they just are. But are you willing to go somewhere that hurts and try to make it better? That's a risk."
Walking the line
McCurdy says people who enroll in his humor school are often motivated by reasons above and beyond performance art, such as anger management, or self esteem. "It can be good therapy for some folks, but when a comic walks out on stage and says 'I was abused most of my life and my father just shot himself in the head yesterday,' that's usually not gonna work.
"It takes a real craft to turn personal issues or challenges into something that'll click."
McCurdy has booked plenty of impaired comedians who've managed to strike that rare balance between humor and self-indulgence, such as Josh Blue (cerebral palsy), Darryl Lenox (blindness) and Brett Leake (muscular dystrophy). McCurdy thought Lewis was so successful at walking the line that he invited her to open for Leake who, in 1991, became the first disabled comic to play "The Tonight Show."
Leake's fragile gait is so pronounced, he became famous for directing his audience to it, sort of: "As you may noticed, I have a disability — I have a degree in economics." With 10 family members stricken by the muscular dystrophy, being surrounded by the affliction seemed not only normal, but perhaps it gave him insights into the rewards of self deprecation.
"So much of comedy is tied to the residual differences between us, and things that need to be addressed," Leake says. "The challenge is figuring out how much of that the audience needs to see.
"I think life becomes a little richer when you can make somebody smile, and my disability motivated me to take that risk," Leake says. "Comedy gave me an opportunity to be whole, to take advantage of the resources I do have. And that has helped me to become a better thinker and, hopefully, a more caring person."
Only one regret
David Abolafia has a wife with muscular dystrophy and a 10-year-old son depending on him.
Fortunately, he says as an omnivorous cancer-killer called Rituxan enters his veins and devours blood cells as well, the bad days are few and far between.
But even as he lay hospitalized, amid the tests and the uncertainty, Abolafia was thinking about the future, and not just survival. He was already producing material for the righteous indignation of Pez Man.
"Would it have been different if I had a brain tumor? Certainly," says Abolafia, whose prognosis is for a full recovery. "So I'm lucky. I haven't even lost my appetite.
"Unfortunately, I've known people who have allowed a medical condition to break them and change who they are, and not for the better. That's a shame, because I think we're here to touch as many lives as we can, so that when we die we don't have regrets over the things we didn't do."
At this point, the aspiring comedian voices only one regret.
"I had to call and say I can no longer be a blood donor, and I've been a blood donor since college," he says. "That was really disappointing."

Well, some of us have. Well before we announced zEnterprise I thought it would be rolled out and adopted in a similar manner to Parallel Sysplex (and to many other technologies - whether mainframe or otherwise). Reading zEnterprise Use Cases Start Rolling In I still think I'm right. And I will admit I needed to see something encouraging like this. Back in the mid 1990's we introduced Parallel... [More]

It's nice to see a flurry of activity in IBM-MAIN about Hiperbatch. And it's more for the emotional reason of reminiscence than for any stunning insights that I'm blogging about it... Back in 1988 I ran a technical project in my then customer, Lloyds Bank, to evaluate Data In Memory (DIM). It was a fun project with a wide range of workloads on multiple machines, including the then-new DB2. So we... [More]

Your response to the demands of the world determines your stress level. Take time to consider common stressors and how they affect you.
The kids are screaming, the bills are due and the pile of papers on your desk is growing at an alarming pace. It's undeniable — life is full of stress. Understanding the types and sources of stress — short term and long term, internal and external — is an important part of stress management. So what stresses you out?
Stress is your body's reaction to the demands of the world. Stressors are events or conditions in your surroundings that may trigger stress. Your body responds to stressors differently depending on whether the stressor is new or short term — acute stress — or whether the stressor has been around for a longer time — chronic stress.
Also known as the fight-or-flight response, acute stress is your body's immediate reaction to a perceived threat, challenge or scare. The acute-stress response is immediate and intense, and in certain circumstances it can be thrilling. Examples of acute stressors include having a job interview or getting a speeding ticket.
A single episode of acute stress generally doesn't cause problems for healthy people. However, severe acute stress can cause mental health problems — such as post-traumatic stress disorder. It can also cause physical difficulties such as tension headaches, stomach problems or serious health issues — such as a heart attack.
Mild acute stress can actually be beneficial — it can spur you into action, motivate and energize you. The problem occurs when stressors pile up and stick around. This persistent stress can lead to health problems, such as headaches and insomnia. The chronic-stress response is more subtle than is the acute-stress response, but the effects may be longer lasting and more problematic.
Effective stress management involves identifying and managing both acute and chronic stress.
Effective stress management starts with identifying your sources of stress and developing strategies to manage them. One way to do this is to make a list of the situations, concerns or challenges that trigger your stress response. Take a moment to write down some of the top issues you're facing right now. You'll notice that some of your stressors are events that happen to you while others seem to originate from within.
External stressors are events and situations that happen to you. Some examples of external stressors include:
Strategies to manage external stressors include lifestyle factors such as eating a healthy diet, being physically active and getting enough sleep — which help boost your resiliency. Other helpful steps include asking for help from others, using humor, learning to be assertive, and practicing problem-solving and time management. Consider how you use your time and energy by focusing on activities that are important to you, paring down the number of activities you're involved in, and saying no to new commitments.
Not all stress stems from things that happen to you. Much of our stress response is self-induced. Those feelings and thoughts that pop into your head and cause you unrest are known as internal stressors. Examples of internal stressors include:
The good news is that we have the ability to control our thoughts. The bad news is that our fears, attitudes and expectations have been our companions for a long time and it often takes some effort to change them. Strategies to manage internal stressors include reframing your thoughts and choosing a positive mindset, challenging negative thoughts, using relaxation techniques, and talking with a trusted friend or counselor.
Recognizing a problem is the first step toward solving it. By beginning to identify and understand the sources of your stress, you've taken the first step in learning to better manage it. Manage it, not eliminate it. Stress is a fact of life. And that's OK. You can learn ways to handle it.

"Eyes Wide Open," a documentary about American Jews visiting Israel, will be shown at Ithaca College on Wednesday, Nov. 30, as part of the Israeli Voices film series. Free and open to the public, the screening will take place at 7 p.m. in Textor 101.
Filmmaker Paula Weiman-Kelman spent more than a year following a wide range of American Jews on their journeys to Israel. The visitors represent a spectrum of American Jewry: Orthodox, traditional and secular; male and female; young and old; liberal and conservative. Shot in Israel and the U.S., in synagogues and airports, at ancient landmarks and modern war zones, the film captures the spontaneous reactions of its ensemble of characters.
The result is a warm and personal film that vividly conveys the joys and ambivalences that inevitably characterize the deep emotional connection between American Jews and the Jewish homeland.
The "Israeli Voices" film series is sponsored by the Jewish Studies program at Ithaca College with support from alumnus Steven Weiss '91. For more information, contact Rebecca Lesses, associate professor and coordinator of the Jewish studies program, at (607) 274-3556 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact Rebecca Lesses at email@example.com or (607) 274-3556. We ask that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible.

After 8 hours of searching and I think more than 30 PXE boot attempts, finally, LInux Mint can be installed over PXE
Setup Configuration:
DHCP/TFTP server: running in VMware Fusion virtual machine on MacOSX Lion
- Centos 6.2 (Final)
Kernel: 2.6.32-220.2.1.el6.i686
Gnome: 2.28.2
Webmin: version 1.580
- Linux Mint 12 "Lisa" - CD no codecs (32-bit) - Download only and no need to be burned to CD
- -MacOS takes IP from Linksys router
-Centos VM ethernet set to take its IP from the Linksys router
-Centso DHCP server set to give IPs to targets from the same subnet
--Centos IP: 10.10.1.106 from DHCP of Linksys
--Centos DHCP server provides IP: 10.10.1.200 and above to the network boot PXE clients
--Centos DHCP and Linksys DHCP are running simultaneously, no problem
Remember to turn off Centos DHCP server when you do not need it any more.
Here are only with the actual PXE configuration steps that you will need to load Mint 12 over PXE.
All below operations are done on your DHCP/TFTP server
- a) replace 10.10.1.106 with the IP of you DHCP server;
b) /tftpboot/ is my tftp server boot folder;
Steps: DHCP server on the Centos is stopped, Linksys DHCP is running of course
Code: Select all

Ferrari Museum in Maranello: visitors' record, extensions and as of March: the Supercars
Maranello, 14 February – After having set a new record in 2012 with 250,414 visitors, now the Ferrari Museum in Maranello presents itself with a special year ahead: this spring a new wing with 1,000 sqm will be inaugurated to offer more exhibition space, while in early March an exhibition of immense significance will start: the upcoming exposition will be dedicated to the so called Ferrari Supercars, but will talk to the visitors in a contemporary way, because it will be centred around the presentation of the new model, which will take the place of the Enzo and present all the special Ferraris created before those two limited-series' models to the Museum's visitors.
Especially the technological content of this first Ferrari hybrid, directly inspired by the experience made with KERS in Formula One, will be of peculiar interest. Furthermore visitors will be able to discover the creative course behind the new model, entirely planned and built in Maranello, with the complex integration of design and aerodynamic solutions.
While waiting for the new exhibition to be opened, in February the Museum offers the possibility to visit the "Great Ferraris from Sergio Pininfarina" exhibition, which exceeded all expectations with its enormous success. Visitors, buying a ticket for the exhibition this month, will be presented with a free copy of the exhibition catalogue, which also contains a poster of the 100 Ferraris created by the great coachbuilder from Turin.

Isaiah Thomas scored 21 points on 4-of-15 shooting (2-of-4 3PTs, 11-of-12 FTs) with four rebounds, six assists and one steal in the Celtics' 98-88 win over the Heat on Wednesday.
This was a pretty big win for the Celtics, who were struggling and being down 26 points they faced the prospects of entering the playoffs on a cold streak. As it would turn out, they do the opposite and get a tough Hawks (4) squad coming out of the five slot. Thomas has been the catalyst and he finishes with a top 20-23 season and the respect around the league that he has deserved for a while, but only recently got when it was completely obvious. Jae Crowder added 13 points with six boards and a three but had no defensive stats, so his health (ankle) is a tiny bit on the radar heading into the playoffs as he finishes a top 35-45 season. Also on the radar — Thomas' shooting wrist may be acting up again.
Fantasy News
December 12, 2019, 1:52 amD'Angelo RussellPG, Golden State Warriors
D'Angelo Russell tried to put the Warriors on his back in Wednesday's 124-122 loss to the Knicks, dropping 32 points on 12-of-27 from the field, including six 3-pointers to go along with six assists and two steals.
Russell sent the game into overtime with a clutch 3-pointer at the end of regulation, but it wasn't enough to drag this Warriors team across the finish line. The opportunity will be there for Russell to produce. He'll have cold spells from time-to-time, but it looks like he's ready to pick it back up.
December 12, 2019, 1:48 amDraymond GreenPF, Golden State Warriors
Draymond Green earned his second triple-double of the season on Wednesday night, recording 14 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and four steals on 5-of-11 from the field.
Green has the potential to stuff the stat sheet whenever he gets on the court. With injuries this season, and the Warriors likely being cautions of wearing down their vets, these nights might not last long into the season. He could be a strong sell-high candidate after tonight's performance.
December 12, 2019, 1:43 amAlec BurksSG, Golden State Warriors
Alec Burks logged 33 minutes off the bench on Wednesday night, turning them into 18 points, five boards, two dimes and two assists.
Burks was only behind D'Angelo Russell in points for the Warriors tonight. He has upside and can have well-rounded games, but it isn't a given. If you have him, you can hold him, but probably isn't worth running to go pick up.
December 12, 2019, 1:39 amMarquese ChrissPF, Golden State Warriors
Marquese Chriss grabbed a season-high 10 rebounds on Wednesday while tallying an additional 12 points, two dimes, a steal and three blocks.
This was arguably Chriss' best game of the season. Things are trending up for Chriss and he looks to benefit from the Warriors starting to tank. Check if he is still on your waivers, he's worth a flyer after this performance.
December 12, 2019, 1:35 amMarcus MorrisPF, New York Knicks
Marcus Morris dropped a season-high 36 points on Wednesday night, piling it it on with 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals and five 3-pointers.
Morris was one point shy of his career-high 37 points. It's important to note this was against the Warriors, but Morris has been a nice pickup this season. With so much uncertainty ahead for the Knicks, it might be a good time to see what you can sell him for, especially since he was probably a pretty cheap acquisition.
December 12, 2019, 1:28 amJulius RandlePF, New York Knicks
Julius Randle finished Wednesday night with another double-double to his name, tallying 24 points, 13 rebounds and five assists.
Randle has been a disappointment for owners this season. We all know he can score and rebound, but another night with out any defensive stats continues to hurt his stock. Randle is going to need to pick it up to be standard league relevant again.
December 12, 2019, 1:24 amRJ BarrettSF, New York Knicks
RJ Barrett secured his first career double-double on Wednesday night, ending with 22 points, 10 boards, three assists, a steal, a block and three 3-pointers.
Barrett logged over 40 minutes before the game even went into overtime and finished the game seeing 46 minutes. The Knicks aren't afraid to use their first-round pick, however, this hasn't turned into fantasy relevance yet. Games like this will help put him on the radar in standard leagues.
December 12, 2019, 1:20 amElfrid PaytonPG, New York Knicks
Elfrid Payton collected 14 points, four boards, five assists and a steal on Wednesday night against the Warriors.
Payton came off the bench, but was on the court as the Knicks tried to close out the game. It's worth noting that Payton saw the most minutes at the point finishing the game with 29 minutes, and Frank Ntilikina only seeing 13 of action.

Buddy Hield found his shot in the second half of Wednesday's 93-94 victory against the Thunder, ending with 23 points, six boards, six assists, two steals and five 3-pointers on 9-of-24 shooting.
The efficiency isn't pretty in this stat line, but it was largely due to a terrible first half. Hield has been heating up with De'Aaron Fox on the sidelines, sitting just outside the top-20 in the last two weeks.

Richaun Homles pitched in 10 points, seven boards, two steal and block in 25 minutes on Wednesday night.
The big question was how the return of Marvin Bagley would impact Holmes. It looks like he will still be a valuable fantasy asset and Luke Walton said they could both see the court at the same time. It's a situation to monitor, but so far, so good for fantasy GMs with Holmes on their rosters.

They snap photographs of the mundane — before, after and, occasionally, during their rides. They pedal past in clothes, recently purchased, that bear the words "New York." They ask for directions.
"Where is the Empire State Building?" a woman wondered on Sunday morning, approaching a bike-sharing station at Herald Square. She was told to turn her head to the right and look up.
Less than one week after New York City's bike share made its debut for annual members — typically practiced at both cycling and cycling in New York — the program has entered a new phase: As of Sunday, riders were able to buy daily or weekly passes, opening the system en masse to tourists for the first time.
For both proponents and critics of the system, the wide-scale opening presents a crucial early test. Will the city's visitors, and local riders who have not purchased yearly passes, flock to the bikes as officials have predicted? And if they do, will Manhattan's streets teem with perilously inexperienced riders, ill-suited to negotiate them?
The city's Transportation Department said on Sunday that more than 2,700 24-hour subscriptions had already been sold, along with 182 seven-day passes. More than 27,000 people have signed up for an annual membership.
Officials said that from Saturday at 5 p.m. to Sunday at 5 p.m., the program recorded 14,933 trips, the most of any such 24-hour period to date. More than 65,000 have been taken in total since the opening.
Already, some trends seem to have emerged. The city has compiled figures on some of the most popular stations, which include one at West 31st Street and Eighth Avenue and a few near Union Square. Users also appear to have adopted parts of the unspoken bike share language from other cities: If a bike is not working properly, some riders have taken to turning the seat around as a signal.
And in a fit of urban guile more likely to affect gym memberships than program memberships, some New Yorkers seem to have identified the newest, cheapest way to tone their lower bodies: hop aboard the seat and pedal in place — with the bikes still locked — as if the stations were rows of exercise equipment.
The first week of bike sharing also had some problems: the first crash, after a rider was struck by a sport utility vehicle car on Macdougal Street at Houston Street, though an official said the rider's injuries were not thought to be serious; the first theft, when a bike was swiped during last-minute station loading before opening day; an apparent act of vandalism that damaged a kiosk on Rivington Street, temporarily shutting it down; and a series of technical glitches that seemed to persist through the weekend, as several riders reported difficulties checking out or returning bikes at certain stations.
Renting a bike at 24th Street and Broadway, Mauren Motta, 42, from Brazil, said she planned her trip around the arrival of bike sharing. "New York must be in the first world, like in Europe," she said. "On subways, you cannot see anything of the city."
But as she and her travel mate, Samanta Pinto, 40, prepared to ride south on Broadway, Ms. Motta wobbled severely, lurching toward a curb. She stepped off, steadying herself.
"Now," she announced, "we are going to Brooklyn."
She planned to take the Brooklyn Bridge, she said. She did not expect the crossing's crowds to affect her riding.
Some less veteran New Yorkers have also been given to sightseeing. Joe Spitaleri, 25, from Astoria, Queens, said he had planned to go to a yoga class, but exhausted himself riding from Midtown to Union Square on a $9.95 daily pass, absorbing the scenes of the East Side. He said he would consider buying a yearly pass for $95, even though stations have not yet reached Queens.
"I don't really care about how long it takes to get places," he said, adding, "I'm a Floridian originally."
Nearby, on the north end of Union Square, city officials gathered to inaugurate the program's full rollout, convening a celebration that included a helmet giveaway, an obstacle course with simulated traffic conditions, and the Mr. Met mascot at one point.
Despite the occasional glitch, Janette Sadik-Khan, the city's transportation commissioner, said the week had been "a magic moment" after years of planning, as the blue Citi Bikes, as they are known, became instantly ubiquitous in the neighborhoods of Manhattan and Brooklyn that include stations.
She likened the system to "having a new puppy" — owners feel protective, and strangers often stop to ask questions.
"I can't tell you how many cabbies smile and give you a thumbs up," she said in an interview. "There's not too many projects we've done at the Department of Transportation that make cabbies give you a thumbs up."

"Although now a New Yorker, I was born in India with deep roots in Sri Lanka. My path to the camera changed when I owned a recording studio in Soho where I worked on producing music artists. While sharing these candid moments for hours layering sound upon sound, I realized I was drawn to the visualization of the music rather than purely the instrumentation. Like the great producers that influenced me, I started to visualize frequencies and harmonics as color palettes, and how each new frequency derived a unique visual tone. For me, it was transformative and I now equate this to the glass of the sound booth changing to the glass of the camera lens.
I now seek out sound in my photos; I look to find those symbiotic patterns and fast changing colors that play together in rhythm, similar to the layers that make up a beat. For me, the art of the image is like a song hitting a cadence right before an impactful moment. It's all there together and I shoot to find the interplay of the many elements, angles and colors. I look to untangle this tension of changes in photography. Today, my studio is up in the air in a doorless helicopter. The vantage points being constantly evolving and each perspective now produced by tight 'banking' down turns, light conditions and crowded streets on the ground."

Fox Revives "Socialist" Myth From Campaign 2008 To Attack Obama
There's no surer indication that Fox has entered full campaign season than seeing recycled attacks on President Obama explode all over the network. Though attacks on Obama are not uncommon on Fox, in the past few weeks, hosts and guests have resurrected one of the old myths of campaign 2008 -- that Obama, as contributor Steve Moore put it on Tuesday, is "driven by an ideology that says redistribute the income."
Though Moore prefaced his remarks by saying, "I don't know President Obama very well, personally. I've met him once or twice," he nevertheless continued:
I believe that he is focused -- he is driven by an ideology that says redistribute the income. And in fact, everything this president has done has really been about redistributing income from rich people to poor people. Instead of growing the economy and creating wealth, they want to redistribute wealth. That's why he wants to tax the people who make over $250,000. That's why he wants to, you know, have the high tax on corporations.
Bill O'Reilly furthered the myth Thursday on his show as well, saying to Republican Sen. Jim DeMint, "Is there an element in your opinion of income redistribution here -- because I firmly believe that the president sees American society in a way that the wealthy have an obligation to help those who don't have a lot. And therefore," he continued, "if we raise the tax rates on the wealthy, that income redistribution -- and that's what Obamacare is all about -- kicks in." O'Reilly then went on to advocate for the Republican idea of a flat tax.
If you'll recall, this myth was a staple of right-wing media attacks on Obama in October 2008, based in part on a Drudge Report falsehood. Fox aggressively promoted the false story, with Sean Hannity blasting it far and wide. We now know, of course, that an effort was underway at Fox at the time to tie Obama to socialism in the month leading up to the presidential election -- an effort that often tracked claims that Obama was driven by a desire to "redistribute wealth."
It's worth asking whether a similar effort is underway at this very moment.
On Wednesday, the falsehood appeared on Fox no less than three separate times, with Eric Bolling devoting the first 10 minutes of his Fox Business show to advancing the myth that Obama is "spreading socialism." Bolling used White House press secretary Jay Carney's recent comments that Americans "want us to get something done that's sensible, that spreads the sacrifice and spreads the prosperity," to say, "Hmm, spreading the prosperity sounds a lot like spreading the wealth. ... Spread the wealth, spread the prosperity."
Bolling hosted pundit Ann Coulter, who furthered the attack on Obama, agreeing with Bolling's suggestion that "spread the prosperity" is "some sort of code" for "progressive socialism." Coulter replied in part by saying:
There's no reason for the government to be controlling our pensions or our public schools or even the mail, rather than private systems. But as I describe in Demonic, it goes back to the French Revolution and Robespierre. Some men will always feel like they're in possession of the general will and if only they can control everything, they'll know how to distribute it just fine -- well, as with Obamacare.
Bolling then suggested that Obama is moving the country toward a system where "it's in the government's hands and don't worry, they'll take care of you if you need help. We'll get you a house, a car, and maybe even a pony." Coulter agreed, saying that "there's no question that the country is becoming more socialist under Obama."
In a later segment with former Rep. Alan Grayson, Bolling suggested that the government would have to subsidize the lifestyle of middle class families, including paying for a home, a car, health care, and a pension. At one point, he added, "Where's the pony? ... I want a baseball team. Can't I have a baseball team?"
Likewise, on Fox Business' America's Nightly Scoreboard, host David Asman accused the Obama administration of purportedly being "more interested in income redistribution than they are in creating jobs." And on Varney & Co., Fox Business anchor Tracy Byrnes called the idea of "spreading some of this difficulty around," "socialist crap," adding, "You don't want the country to become that. You do not want this country to become that -- this distribution of wealth has got to stop. The notion that I should -- you know, we should all feel the same pain? I work really hard."
Other recent examples include:
- Lou Dobbs: "[T]he government is talking about redistribution of wealth. The president makes no secret of it. He's talked about redistribution of wealth." Dobbs later suggested Obama is engaging in "class warfare." [Lou Dobbs Tonight, 7/1/11, via Nexis]
- Steven Hayes: "President Obama has clearly been one of the most left- wing President's certainly in the past 50 years, I would argue in the past century in terms of what he has done to expand the size and scope of Government, to redistribute income here at home, to redistribute power abroad." [The Willis Report, 7/1/11, via Nexis]
- Stuart Varney: "I don't think that the President can change course and I don't think he will change course. ... If you roll back all these tax increases and attach proposals then you're getting and cutting right to the heart of the President's wealth redistribution program." [The O'Reilly Factor, 6/29/11, via Nexis]
- Sean Hannity: "Isn't the biggest problem that the economy has failed under this Keynesian socialist, redistributed model of the president?" [Hannity, 6/20/11, via Nexis]
- Glenn Beck: "Today with our various programs, our regulations, our tax policies, the government is trying to redistribute the wealth and keep people from failing. They're going to fail. I have a right to fail. But honestly, it is in my failing that I found my salvation. It is an effort to make everyone equal in their possessions and it is wrong. We see it with ObamaCare. We see it -- watch this -- from the president in higher taxes for the wealthy." [Glenn Beck, 6/15/11, via Nexis]

Nationals mascot claims historic victory
The Presidents Race had been run 356 times during Washington Nationals home games since 2006. The mascot likenesses of the four presidents of Mount Rushmore; George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Teddy Roosevelt have raced around for six years.
Not once, in more than 500 attempts, had Teddy won.
Until Wednesday, October 3, 2012. Remember where you are, so you can remember where you were ... when the Nationals jinxed their playoff run.
Really, Washington? The team is headed to the playoffs for the first time in its young history, won the NL East, and could have the best record in baseball at the end of the night.
All this good karma, and Teddy puts it to the test. Jayson Werth couldn't trip him again? Stephen Strasburg's pitch count is so strict he couldn't throw one more well-aimed pitch at Roosevelt's giant foam head?
And Teddy, as the nation's 26th president, I expected better.
Here is a dispatch from USA TODAY Sports' Dan Shanoff, who was on the scene at Nationals Park:
"Celebrating our wedding anniversary today 'going out for lunch' at Nats Park, my wife and I had just settled into our seats with half-smokes and chili cheese fries from Ben's Chili Bowl when a skit appeared on the Jumbotron where Teddy received a mysterious suitcase that when opened revealed a pair of shining Under Armour running shoes. It was foreshadowing — my wife and I figured that there was no way Under Armour would put its brand next to a loser. A little while later, the race began, with Teddy in last place. When the faux-Phillies mascot took out the other three Presidents and Teddy turned the corner, the vibe in the park was more one of 'How will he blow it this time?' than 'This is it!' But as he approached the finish line — about 10 yards out — the crowd realized they were about to witness history, and there was a surge of cheers. When he crossed the line, the fan reaction was as much disbelief at having seen this nominally momentous event as jubilation that 580-some races later, 'Let Teddy win!' finally became 'Teddy won!' It was an unexpected treat for fans enjoying a mid-week afternoon regular-season finale and just trying to give their team a send-off into the playoffs. And not a bad anniversary gift from the Nats to the Shanoffs."
All jinxing (imagined or not) aside, the D.C. and national media were rather pleased with the spectacle:
Mike Prada, SB Nation:
In two hours, the Nats should announce that Teddy has been disqualified for using performance-enhancing drugs.
Dan Steinberg, D.C. Sports Bog:
Teddy wins, Zim homers next at-bat. Eat it, Hollywood
Cindy Boren, The Washington Post:
This is an epic TV fail! The Teddy race is not on TV! Holy Heidi!!!!!
Jonah Keri, Grantland:
Meanwhile, Taft just won the marshmallow eating race.
For all of you conspiracy theorists, Ben Goessling has pointed out that Teddy's losing streak lasted 538 total games -- otherwise known as the number of votes in the Electoral College. *Mind blown.*

These Difficult Men Changed TV
By Austin O'Connor , July 02, 2013 04:16 PM
In his new book Difficult Men: Behind the Scenes of a Creative Revolution: From The Sopranos and The Wire to Mad Men and Breaking Bad, author Brett Martin writes about TV's current "Third Golden Age," which he says began when The Sopranos premiered on HBO in 1999. According to Martin, the common thread running through the great shows of this era are the prickly men who created them, and the complex male characters they placed at the center of each. Cable television, less beholden to ratings and advertisers than networks and more willing to take risks, became the place for a movement that has shifted the center of pop culture conversation from the movie theater to the living room.
For Difficult Men, Martin spoke to celebrated TV writers including David Chase (67, and creator of The Sopranos), David Milch (68, Deadwood), David Simon (53, The Wire), Matthew Weiner (48, Mad Men) and Vince Gilligan (46, Breaking Bad). We talked to Martin about how a generation of writers raised on TV revolutionized the medium, and where that revolution goes from here.
Many of the writers in your book are baby boomers, all have done their best work in their 40s, 50s and 60s. What does age have to do with their success?
Their shows are made for adults. They produced work that, unlike 95 percent of what comes out from Hollywood and into the movie theater, is for grownups and about grownup things. In some broad sense, the shows are about midlife crises and reaching a certain age. The movies and network television ceded this entire adult audience to cable TV. And these are men who have lived through disappointments and triumphs, have had children, have had marriages, and jobs that they've loved and lost and hated. So you have a range of grownup experience being shown.
Boomers were the first generation raised on television, and yet the older writers in your book have conflicted feelings toward it.
The book covers two very different generations of writers. The first generation, the baby boomers - David Chase, David Milch and David Simon - are sort of the accidental television auteurs, who were interested in becoming filmmakers, literary novelists, journalists. They found themselves in the position where they were able to do their best work on TV. None of those guys talked much about television at all from their youth, and in fact are kind of disdainful of it. The second generation is different - Matthew Weiner, for example, was a complete consumer of TV growing up.
But The Sopranos , the show that gave birth to the Third Golden Age, owes a debt to the classic TV shows of the 1950s and 1960s.
David Chase says that The Sopranos is really Father Knows Best - it's just Father Knows Best How to Kill People. It was an inversion of the classic '50s family sitcom, with the mischievous kid and the bratty daughter and the father who goes to work and the mother who stays home. That's part of what made that show work so well: For a generation of people raised on that formula, and who then went on to discover what real life was like, it was thrilling to see that turned around.
Mad Men is another show that turns a new eye on the conventions of the boomers.
Again, Weiner is a little younger, so his show is more about regarding that (boomer) generation, growing up just behind it and mythologizing it, and then at the same time puncturing the myths of what "the '60s" meant. That's explicitly true about Mad Men.
Tony Soprano, Don Draper and Al Swearengen: Why do people, especially boomers, want to watch these guys?
The story of the male antihero is especially vital to a generation that lived through the upheavals of a war (Vietnam) that they generally didn't participate in - unlike their fathers, many of whom had been in World War II. The definition of being a man changed. And of course, there was the massive upheaval between gender roles: That's a significant piece of the puzzle. What kind of masculinity is still OK? There's a kind of wish fulfillment, watching a certain kind of man (on TV) in a world that doesn't accept that anymore.
Showtime's Ray Donovan, a new show about a difficult man, was created and written by Ann Biderman. Shonda Rhimes created Scandal, and Lena Dunham gave us Girls. Are difficult women the next evolution of this golden age?
I hope it's clear how many women play a huge part in this book, from (network executives) and female writers, and the actresses on these shows. But an even wider range of people and experience would be only to the good. We're really at the end of this phase right now - Breaking Bad will be over at the end of this summer and Mad Men is on its final approach. Television is now established as the place to go for interesting stories and characters. Inevitably, that means that you're going to get more voices. And there are plenty of difficult women in the world, and difficult female stories to tell.

I purchased a Lenovo G570 (Model Name: 20079) and it has a Core i3 2350M and 4GB RAM.
I installed windows XP (32-bit) and when I checked the task manager/properties of my computer; it shows only 3GB of RAM. I have also tried another OS - I installed puppy linux(32-bit), and checked top; it shows 3GB of total memory.
Why is only 3GB of the 4GB of installed memory recognized by the OS? Why doesn't the OS recognize the full 4 GB of memory?
Windows XP, being a 32 bit OS can only address a maximum of 4 GB ram, and some of this addressing space is used for video or other system needs. As a result, depending on the system, BIOS, Video subsystem, Windows will report typically between 3GB and 3.5GB of RAM (and sometimes slightly less than 3GB) out of the 4GB physically installed.
To recognize and access the full memory installed, you will need a 64 bit OS.http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg487508Same in Linux.32 bit = 3GB

BALTIMORE – The UMBC track and field program will kick-off it's 2012-13 schedule at the Bison Opener, hosted by Bucknell University, for the ninth consecutive year, head coach David Bobb announced on Wednesday.
The men's and women's teams will also compete at meets in Maryland, New York, and Virginia during the indoor season which culminates with the America East Championships which will be held in Boston, Mass. UMBC then opens the outdoor season at home with the Big Dawg Invitational at UMBC Stadium before traveling to competitions in the area as well as in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The conference outdoor championships will be hosted by Binghamton University in Vestal, N.Y.
"We're really hoping to continue our success and to improve to stay in the top-3 at the conference meets," said coach Bobb. "I think that the meets we have scheduled will help us with that goal."
Following the meet at Bucknell on Saturday, Dec. 1, the Retrievers will not compete until the New Year when they return to the Keystone State for the Penn State Relays on Jan. 5. The meet in State College begins a stretch of five consecutive weeks with competitions for the Black and Gold. The stretch includes two stops in New York City for the Gotham Cup (Jan. 11) and New Balance Collegiate Invitational (Feb. 1-2), one in Landover, Md. for the Terrapin Invitational (Jan. 19), and a split weekend on Jan. 25-26 in which part of the team returns to State College for the Penn State National Relays and the other will compete at the Patriot Games in Fairfax, Va.
"These are some really good and tough competitions and it helps that they're all pretty close to campus," coach Bobb said.
Less than ten days later the Retrievers open the most important section of their schedule in Boston for the America East Championships. Then, after a short break, UMBC will look to send athletes back to the Bay State for the ECAC/IC4A Championships and then to Fayetteville, Ark. and the University of Arkansas which will host the NCAA Championships.
The outdoor season brings with it the Retrievers' first home meet at UMBC Stadium since hosting 2011 America East Outdoor Championships. The Big Dawg Invitational on March 30, however, is the program's only home competition of the season which will see the Retrievers then travel to Duke (Apr. 5-6), George Mason (Apr. 13), and Morgan State (Apr. 20), in addition to the Penn Relays (Apr. 25-27).
Next, UMBC opens the championship run with the conference meet at Binghamton (May 4-5) and continues it at the ECAC/IC4A meet in Princeton N.J. (May 10-12) and the NCAA East Preliminaries (May 24-25), which will be hosted by North Carolina A&T in Greensboro, N.C.

It's a long trip from New York City to Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska — about 4,500 miles. But Kenai Fjords and four other national parks just got a little closer thanks to a series of virtual reality tours released by Google for the centennial of the national park system.
Google has created 360-degree guided tours of five parks to celebrate the birthday of the National Park Service, which was established 100 years ago Thursday. The service was founded on Aug. 25, 1916 by President Woodrow Wilson with the goal of preserving the nation's natural and historic wonders for future generations.
In addition to Kenai Fjords, viewers can marvel at Hawaii's volcanoes, descend into the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, traverse Bryce Canyon in Utah, and dive into the waters of the Dry Tortugas in Florida.
Click here to explore the five parks. The guided tours are viewable on desktops, phones and in virtual reality with the VR headset Google Cardboard.
And if you're looking to get out in nature this weekend, all national parks and monuments that normally have an admission fee are free from Aug. 25 to Aug. 28 in honor of the centennial.
Head to the National Park Service website to search national parks by state.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) For someone with precious little match ``toughness'' heading into the Australian Open, Maria Sharapova didn't look overly concerned Wednesday.
The second-seeded Russian beat Japan's Misaki Doi 6-0, 6-0 in just 47 minutes, her second consecutive match at Melbourne Park in which her opponent failed to win a game. Doi won only 15 points.
Sharapova, last year's Australian Open runner-up, pulled out of the Brisbane International with a right collarbone injury two weeks ago and had not played a competitive match this year until her 6-0, 6-0 win over fellow Russian Olga Puchkova in the first round Monday.
She is the first woman to post consecutive ``double bagels'' at a Grand Slam tournament since Wendy Turnbull at the Australian Open in 1985.
``I've been playing really aggressive and doing the right things,'' Sharapova said. ``It's not easy to be up so much because you can have a few letdowns. You just have to try to concentrate. My job is to make it as easy as possible.''
Sharapova might find the competition tougher in the next round, where she'll met seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams on Friday. The older Williams sister beat Alize Cornet 6-3, 6-3 in the first night match Wednesday on Rod Laver Arena, taking advantage of the French player's double-fault to end the first set.
``Tennis ... is about winning when it's not your best day,'' said the 25th-seeded Williams. Next up ``I'm playing against Maria. I'm going to have to be at my best against her.''
Top-seeded and defending champion Novak Djokovic was scheduled to play American Ryan Harrison in the late match.
The final match of Wednesday's session on the center court was disappointing, though not wholly unexpected, for the home crowd and Australia's top-ranked female player.
Ninth-seeded Samantha Stosur, who has spoken of her anxiety over playing in front of her home fans, served twice for the match but double-faulted on match point in a 6-4, 1-6, 7-5 loss to China's Zheng Jie.
``It was a bit of a choke,'' Stosur admitted. ``Obviously it's a hard one to take when you get yourself into a winning position and you lose five games straight.''
Stosur, who had nine double-faults and 56 unforced errors, has never gone beyond the fourth round at her home Grand Slam, lost in the first round last year and also lost in her first matches at warm-up tournaments this year in Brisbane and Sydney.
``I needed to keep fighting and enjoy the match,'' Zheng said. ``It's amazing I came back.''
Earlier, fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanksa extended the year's best winning streak to 11 matches. She eased into the third round with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu and remains unbeaten this year, including titles at warm-up tournaments this month at Auckland and Sydney.
``I can play even better,'' said Radwanska, who lost last year's Wimbledon final to Serena Williams. ``I didn't really expect I could win that many matches in a row, and hopefully I can keep going.''
Her last two trips to the Australian Open have ended in quarterfinal losses to the eventual champion - Kim Clijsters in 2011 and Victoria Azarenka last year.
With top-ranked Azarenka and Serena Williams on the other half of the draw, Radwanska's main obstacles to reaching the final are 2011 French Open champion Li Na, who beat Olga Goortsova of Belarus 6-2, 7-5 to reach the third round, and potential semifinal rivals Sharapova or No. 5 Angelique Kerber, who advanced with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Lucie Hradecka.
Williams hurt her ankle in her opening victory on Tuesday, putting her bid for a third consecutive major title in jeopardy. She has only lost one match since her first-round exit at the French Open last year. Williams canceled an outdoor practice session and moved it indoors.
In other women's second-round matches: No. 11 Marion Bartoli beat Serbian qualifier Vesna Dolonc 7-5, 6-0; No. 13 Ana Ivanovic had a 7-5, 1-6, 6-4 win over Taiwanese qualifier Chan Yung-jan; No. 18 Julia Gorges beat Romina Oprandi 6-3, 6-2; No. 22 Jelena Jankovic, a former world No. 1, beat qualifier Maria Joao Koehler 2-6, 7-6 (5), 6-2; and 17-year-old American wild-card Madison Keys beat No. 30 Tamira Paszek of Austria 6-2, 6-1.
Russian qualifier Valeria Savinykh upset No. 15 Dominika Cibulkova 7-6 (6), 6-4 and Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium beat No. 23 Klara Zakopalova 6-1, 6-0.
On the men's side, No. 4-ranked David Ferrer needed five match points before clinching a 6-0, 7-5, 4-6, 6-3 win over American Tim Smyczek, who got into the main draw as a lucky loser from qualifying.
Fifth-seeded Tomas Berdych beat Guillaume Rufin of France 6-2, 6-2, 6-4, and No. 10 Nicolas Almagro and No. 16-ranked Kei Nishikori also moved on. No. 24 Jerzy Janowicz of Poland rallied from two sets down to overpower India's Somdev Devvarman 6-7 (10), 3-6, 6-1, 6-0, 7-5.
Also advancing were No. 28 Marcos Baghdatis, the 2006 Australian Open runner-up, No. 31 Rad Stepanek and No. 32 Julien Benneteau.
No. 20 Sam Querrey advanced when fellow American Brian Baker retired in the second set with a right knee injury and next plays No. 15 Stanislas Wawrinka.
Baker, who returned to the tour last year after missing almost six seasons with a variety of injuries, won a first-set tiebreaker and was level at 1-1 on serve in the second. He was later pushed from Court 6 in a wheelchair.
Tournament organizers said that Baker had a torn meniscus and is expected to be out about four months.
``Yeah, he's the last person that deserves anything like that with his five or six surgeries already,'' Querrey said.

How to craft a low-buck, high-class firewall insulator for any car
With the abundance of reproduction and aftermarket parts available today why would anyone even attempt to make their own? Oh, let us count the ways. Better yet, we'll let Frank Wallic count them.
When it came time to insulate the firewall in his Deuce roadster he considered the stock-type replacement firewall made expressly for the application. In fact, he even ordered one. But then something struck him. "I just hate the way the stock firewall insulator looks when you don't run the gauge tunnel," he recalls. "Even when you're sitting in the car you can see where it's dimpled for the tunnel," he adds. "It just looks bad."
Something else struck him too. The replacement insulator looked and felt remarkably similar to a material he found at a local upholstery shop. "The stuff was just ABS plastic," he reveals. "Upholsterers use it to make door panels and things." Assured that heat formed it easily—and that it cost a tenth of the price of the Deuce-specific panel—Wallic gambled and bought a sheet.
It paid off. The sheet bent as promised, both by heat and by conventional sheetmetal brake. A bead roller, Wallic discovered, left convincingly professional-looking ribs in the board, albeit at the expense of some stress markings. Whether by tin snip, saber saw, band saw, table saw, or circular saw, it cuts easily, and the right bit in a router will handily shape the edges. It can also be "welded" together with the same solvent used to join black irrigation and drain pipe. The stuff really is pretty remarkable.
What follows is how that flat sheet of anonymous plastic turned into a firewall insulator—a remarkably stock-looking part with one exception: it had only the divots, undulations, and creases that Wallic's particular car needed. Though this particular one fits a '32 Ford, there's nothing saying the same technique couldn't be applied to create an insulator for any other car.

Three Army Reserve combat engineers from an upstate N.Y. unit on a route clearing mission in Afghanistan were killed when their vehicle struck a roadside bomb in what had been until recently a relatively peaceful corner of southeastern Afghanistan, the Defense Department said Monday.
A fourth soldier form the same unit, the 412th Theater Engineer Command from Oswego, N.Y., was injured in the 1:30 p.m. blast last Saturday in Paktia province that took the lives of Staff Sgt. Dain T. Venne, 29, of Port Henry, N.Y.; Spc. Ryan P. Jayne, 22, of Campbell, N.Y.; and Spc. Brett E. Gornewicz, 27, of Alden, N.Y., said Lt. Col. Doril Sanders, a spokesman for the 412th Engineers.
"These are the first casualties I know of" that were sustained by the 412th since 9/11, Sanders said.
"There is no more honorable, dignified way to go than serving your country," said Paul Jayne, the father of Jayne, but "his mother and I should not have to bury our oldest child," the Leader newspaper of Corning, N.Y., reported.
For nearly 10 years after 9/11, there had been no fatalities for allied troops reported in Paktia province, but last year there were 15 and this year there had been 18 recorded before the blast that killed the three New York engineers, according to the website iccasualties.org.
Flags on all N.Y. state government buildings were ordered to be flown at half-staff by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D-N.Y.) to honor the three soldiers.
"Along with all New Yorkers, I mourn the deaths of Spc. Gornewicz, Spc. Jayne and Staff Sgt. Oct. Venne," Cuomo said in a statement. "These young men were all volunteers who lived and worked in our communities and gave their lives for our great country. We extend our condolences to their friends, their families, and their fellow soldiers."
All three had served previous tours of duty in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Venne was on his fourth deployment in nearly 11 years as a reservist, Alden had two previous deployments in his nearly seven years in the Army, and Jayne had had deployed once previously in his two years of service, Sanders said. The three began their latest deployment to Afghanistan together last June.
Gornewicz graduated from Alden, N.Y., High School in 2003 and from Buffalo State College in 2011 with a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial technology.
Jayne had recently been home on a 10-day leave and left to return to Afghanistan on Oct. 29.
Venne, a construction worker in civilian life, graduated from the Moriah, N.Y., Central High School in 2001 and had been attending St. Lawrence university in Canton, N.Y.
"Our condolence and prayers go out to the families of these Soldiers killed in this IED incident," said Maj. Gen. William Buckler, Jr., the commander of the 412th TEC. "We are here to support them."

Kazmir headed to DL with rib cage strain
Lefty eligible to return April 17; Bauer to take spot in rotation
TORONTO -- The Indians have decided to take the cautious route as it pertains to Scott Kazmir's injured right side.
On Thursday, Cleveland announced that Kazmir will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with what is being described as a right rib cage strain. He suffered the injury while playing catch earlier this week. Indians manager Terry Francona said that pitching prospect Trevor Bauer will be promoted from Triple-A Columbus to start in place of Kazmir against the Rays on Saturday.
"Bauer is expected to start," Francona said. "We're obviously working through a lot of things, but that's the plan."
Kazmir, who underwent an MRI exam in Cleveland on Thursday, is expected to miss two or three starts with the minor injury. His stint on the DL is retroactive to Tuesday, meaning he will be eligible to be activated as early as April 17.
Bauer is in the plans for one start at the very least, but Francona was not ready to commit to anything more. Cleveland might consider sliding right-hander Carlos Carrasco into the starting rotation after his six-game suspension is served. Carrasco will be eligible to pitch for the Indians on Monday at the earliest, but the Tribe would not necessarily need its fifth starter to appear again until April 11.
"We're trying to get Carrasco on track," Francona said. "We had a plan set up for him and we didn't want to upset that. The length of Kazmir [on the disabled list], we don't think this is going to be very long. There's other things that could potentially probably weigh into it as we go."
The fifth spot of the rotation came down to Kazmir or Carrasco at the end of Spring Training.
Kazmir alerted the Tribe's medical staff to some discomfort in his right side after playing catch on flat ground at a distance of 90 feet on Monday. Prior to Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, the 29-year-old lefty worked through a 30-pitch bullpen session without any issues, but the club chose not to risk having him pitch against Tampa Bay.
"We just wanted to be as conservative as possible," Indians head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff said. "He's come a long way professionally. In our minds, this was the prudent thing to do."
Kazmir, who has not pitched a full season in the Majors since 2010, earned the fifth spot in the rotation as a non-roster invitee, allowing nine runs (eight earned) on 29 hits with 23 strikeouts and only three walks in 21 innings, which covered four Cactus League appearances and a pair of Minor League outings.
Bauer -- acquired from the D-backs in December as part of a blockbuster nine-player trade that also involved the Reds -- posted a 4.50 ERA in 14 Cactus League innings this spring. Last season, the righty went 12-2 with a 2.42 ERA in 22 starts between Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno, and posted a 6.06 ERA in a four-start stint with Arizona.

Griner lifts Mercury to 92-79 win over Lynx
PHOENIX (AP) — Brittney Griner has raised her play this season and its made the Phoenix Mercury into first place in the Western Conference.
Griner scored a career-high 27 points and grabbed 18 rebounds to lead the Mercury to a 92-79 win over the Minnesota Lynx on Wednesday night, offsetting Maya Moore's 36 points. The 6-foot-8 phenom has scored in double figures in 10 of the Mercury's 11 games and has three double-doubles on the season.
"If she plays like that every single game, and I don't expect her to because it's just impossible during the WNBA season, she's unstoppable," Mercury coach Sandy Brondello said of Griner. "She's hard to guard because she's such a skilled post player."
It was the second win in four days for the Mercury over the Lynx. Sunday's victory ended a 10-game skid to their Western Conference rivals.
Diana Taurasi added 22 points and had 10 rebounds. She made five 3-pointers. Forward Candice Dupree finished with 19 points, the fifth straight game she has scored 18 or more.
Minnesota (9-4) has lost three of its last four despite Moore's effort. The WNBA's leading scorer posted 30 or more points for the sixth time in 2014, tying a franchise single season record.
"Without Maya we might have lost by 40," Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said. "I thought Phoenix's defense was really locked in and focused on her and she still got 36. That's pretty impressive."
Lindsay Whalen added 22 points but the Lynx were outrebounded 41-22. Minnesota was without guard Seimone Augustus, the team's second-leading scorer. Augustus was a late scratch from the lineup due to left knee pain.
The Mercury, which defeated the Lynx June 15 to snap a 10-game regular season losing streak in the overall series, scored a season high 52 points in the first half, many of those on layups and Griner's putbacks and close-range shots. Phoenix is 6-0 this season when leading at halftime.
Phoenix led by as many as 16 points in the third quarter before Minnesota trimmed the deficit to five early in the fourth quarter on a Moore 3-pointer. Moore spotted up for a three from the top of the key with 3:30 to play in the game and the Lynx down 79-74, but missed the chance to make it a two-point game.
Taurasi's 3-pointer seconds later was the pivotal basket of the game, as Phoenix ended the game on a 13-5 run..

San Diego Sheriff's deputies on a probation search at a Bonsall residence yesterday busted a large-scale marijuana growing operation.
Forty-three year-old John Paul, who had forfeit his fourth amendment right of protection from unreasonable search and seizure as part of his probation agreement, was visited as part of the Sheriff's Intelligence-led Policing/Tracking Known Offenders program.
When deputies arrived at Paul's house, they found two separate crops of marijuana, collectively valued by law enforcement officials at over $200,000. The plants were seized as evidence, and Paul was booked into county jail on charges of cultivation of marijuana and being under the influence of narcotics.

Oh, that's right, I'm already 72 years old. Guess it's too late.
The banktsers put tens of millions of people in the poor house, they can go to prison.
Some people just don't learn. Either that, or this dude has absolutely no other way to survive. Once on probation, he was on notice that he'd watched, so he got mixed up in this deal with his eyes wide-open. Now he's busted again, and the willingness of certain powerful folks to allow him another chance is nil. He could end up behind bars for life.
How many jobs are out there for COLLEGE GRADS??? Zero, what are the chances of a felon with no job skills at 43 years of age???? Zero. He is doing what he has to to survive, I would do the same if it meant living or dying on the street.

- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons finely grated lime peel
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro plus additional for sprinkling
- 4 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 cup sliced shallots (about 3 large)
- 1 1/2 cups basmati rice (9 to 10 ounces)
- 3 1/4 cups (or more) low-salt chicken broth
- 4 5- to 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets
- 1 bunch broccolini, bottom inch trimmed, stalks separated if necessary
Recipe Preparation
Preheat oven to 450°F. Whisk lime juice, lime peel, honey, 2 tablespoons cilantro, and soy sauce in small bowl; set aside.
Heat oil in large deep ovenproof skillet or casserole (with lid) over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté until beginning to soften and brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice, then 3 1/4 cups broth; bring to boil. Cover skillet tightly with lid; place in oven and bake 10 minutes (rice will be almost cooked through and most of broth will be absorbed; mix in more broth by 1/4 cupfuls if dry).
Remove skillet from oven. Sprinkle rice lightly with salt. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper and arrange on rice, pressing in lightly. Tuck broccolini in around fish, with stems anchored in rice. Spoon 1 tablespoon lime mixture over each salmon fillet. Cover skillet tightly and return to oven; bake until salmon is just opaque in center and broccolini is crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drizzle remaining lime mixture over fish and rice; sprinkle with additional chopped cilantro and serve from skillet.

Once a Patriot, always a Patriot. Fifteen years after his playing days ended, Andre Tippett's paychecks still come from the team he led to its first Super Bowl appearance.
Once a Patriot, always a Patriot. Fifteen years after his playing days ended, Andre Tippett's paychecks still come from the team he led to its first Super Bowl appearance.
Today, Tippett is New England's executive director of community affairs. From 1982-93, he was one of the NFL's most devastating pass rushers, totaling 100 career sacks from his strongside linebacker spot.
Headed for enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend, Tippett doesn't take lightly the fact that he played his entire career in New England.
"For me, it's a badge of honor," the organization's all-time sack leader said.
Understand that Tippett's Patriots weren't the Pats of current times. Tippett led New England to its first Super Bowl after the 1985 season, losing to the Bears, 46-10. The next season, the Patriots went 11-5 before losing in the divisional playoffs at Denver.
Tippett never returned to the postseason.
Deciding to stay
As his career wore on, friends and colleagues encouraged Tippett to look elsewhere. Maybe he could join a contender in a quest to get a Super Bowl ring.
"To me, it wasn't my manner," the 48-year-old said. "It wasn't my personality or my makeup to be that type of person.
"I was committed to the organization. The organization had been committed to me throughout my time as a player. I had a contract, and I honored that contract."
Tippett still played at a high level during the final years of his career despite nagging injuries. The same can't be said of his team.
During Tippett's last four seasons, the Patriots went a combined 14-50, including a dreadful 1-15 season in 1990.
Going to Green Bay?
"It was kind of frustrating, because you become the laughingstock a little bit," said Tippet, who missed the 1989 season with a shoulder injury. "I kind of grew up in the league where you saw things like that happen. I can remember back in the early '80s, you (were) always threatened to get traded to Green Bay at the time. Green Bay was awful in the early '80s, and then look what happened to those guys.
"So it was that evolution of the National Football League that franchises go through those type of things, and eventually, they get back on track. If you look at us, we are a prime example of that. We went from the outhouse to the penthouse, and it's been pretty cool. So you just have to be steadfast and hang in there."
New England has become the class of the NFL, winning three of the four Super Bowls from 2001-04 and almost running the table this past season before losing to the Giants in the Super Bowl.
Tippet and John Hannah (1991 inductee) are the only Hall of Famers to spend their entire careers in New England. Linebacker Nick Buoniconti and cornerback Mike Haynes also spent time in New England during their Hall of Fame careers.
Tippett, who will have team owner Robert Kraft present him for enshrinement, didn't hog the limelight when Canton came calling in February.
"I will be joining the greats of the game, and I am deeply honored," he said. "This recognition does not only belong to me but also to my family, the Patriots organization, my teammates and especially the fans."

I have a rather old plastic whisk that does the job if I want to whisk up something quickly without having to get out one of the electric beaters. But it is uncomfortable to use and it is really thick and it isn't very efficient.
So if you have one of these thick plastic whisks or an old bent, rusty metal whisk, my advice is "Toss it Out' and get yourself a Le Creuset Balloon Silicone Whisk.
This whisk is 100% silicone coated and you will find that it will flex when you need it to, but it will keep its shape and its color after use. The ergonomic handle gives you a nice easy, comfortable grip.
The wires are fully encased in silicone so it won't scratch the surface of your precious Le Creuset cookware.
And you can use it safely on your nonstick and metal cookware. The Le Creuset balloon silicone whisk is stain resistant and will not absorb food flavors.
It is heat resistant to 800° F and it stays cool in pans on the burner.
The whisk cleans up easily by hand in soapy water or you can simply pop it in the dishwasher.
The majority of people who have purchased this whisk just love it and find that it whisks quickly and efficiently. You can read the reviews for the Le Creuset Balloon Silicone Whisk at Amazon.com
I am Ready to Buy the Le Creuset Balloon Silicone Whisk Where Can I Get One?

Finding himself in the zeitgeist for the first time in ages, Stephen Dorff is determined to stay relevant, going so far as to develop a new comedy to star in alongside his old friend, Jack Nicholson.
"I have a comedy idea that I came up with that I'm doing with Adam Sandler's company that I want to do with Jack Nicholson, who's still a good friend of mine," Dorff told The Independent. He was pimping his new film, "Somewhere," from writer-director Sofia Coppola.
"It's a very funny comedy idea for me and him set in the South of France. We're not in script form yet but I wrote the treatment and they've already bought it so as soon as I get a break from working, I'll turn that into a script and I'll go and tell Jack," he told the paper. "'Jack you have to make this with me...' and he'll say, 'Dorff, come on, let's do it.'" Dorff's Nicholson is reportedly impeccable. "And I'll get Sony to give him his $15 million and then we'll go and make the movie – because he likes money."
"Somewhere," out Dec. 22, stars Dorff as a young Hollywood badboy wallowing in excess at the Chateau Marmot when his layabout lifestyle is interrupted by a visit from his previously estranged 11-year-old daughter, played by Elle Fanning.
"It was by far one of the best experiences I've ever had – in my life – and I've made about 35 movies, said Dorff. "Now I think the best is to come. (Coppola) gave me such an opportunity that now all these retards want to come and join the train, so great! Join the train!"
