This is probably the most special neighbourhood of Seville, famous for its history, its idiosyncrasy, and its significance. Discover it bit by bit. Triana is worth it.
A quick historical review. The origins of Triana go back to the Tartessian era. This populated nucleus on the west bank of the Betis river (the Roman name for the Guadalquivir), served the roman legions, who established an encampment there, close to Itálica and opposite Híspalis (the Roman name for Seville). It was the Almohads who constructed the first bridge that connected Triana to the city with a bridge made of vessels. This original bridge was located where the famous Triana Bridge (Puente de Triana) is today.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, Triana played a role in the famous maritime expeditions that sought to discover new worlds. Its Escuela de Mareantes (School of Navigation) instructed many of the era's sailors, who took part in the voyages like that of Christopher Columbus to America or Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastian Elcano's voyage around the world. This latter voyage departed from the shores of Triana. In the Plaza de Cuba a sphere marks the starting point (mile zero) of the world's first circumnavigation.
Triana's history also contains a dark chapter. Saint George Castle (El Castillo de San Jorge) was the setting for the fearsome persecutions of the Spanish Inquisition. Today, you can visit what remains of the castle and learn its history below the Triana Market (El Mercado de Triana).
Triana has something new to discover around every corner, in the houses with their famous neighbour patios, in a bar or store that's a neighbourhood fixture. If you come to Triana, you'll have the chance to enjoy an authentic neighbourhood.
Throughout its history, Triana has embraced and encouraged vocations, trades, and craftsmanship—and it hasn't just been known for its ceramics industry. In the first half of the 20th century, the former aerospace factory, Hispano Aviación, on San Jacinto street, constructed the first Spanish jet aircraft. This success was baptized with the local name of "Saeta" (the name of the spontaneous songs sung as processions pass by during Holy Week.)
Triana is multidimensional, it will never stop surprising youtweet
The first thing you'll notice when you take your first steps through Triana is that it possesses a unique identity, the result of being a neighbourhood born on the other side of the river. Triana's separation from Seville, marked by the Guadalquivir river, does not negate the fact that many of characteristics that are associated with Seville were contributed by Triana. Unmistakable Sevillian characteristics such as ceramic art and the flamenco dance are rooted in Triana — and it's no coincidence that both are "art."
Triana is the birthplace of a great number of flamenco artists (famous guitarists, cantaores – flamenco singers, and tonadilla singers), celebrated bullfighters, distinguished potters, and historic sailors…Surely this neighbourhood will inspire you.
- Betis Street (la calle Betis) received its name from the Betis river that gave its name to Roman Andalusia (Bética romana).
- Even now many Trianeros say "I'm going to Seville" when they cross the bridge from their neighbourhood.
- The palo de Flamenco (Flamenco musical form) most closely connected to Triana is the Soleá.
- Six hermandades (brotherhoods, church-based religious, social, and cultural groups) from Triana participate in the Holy Week processions in Seville.

LONDON (Reuters) - The European Medicines Agency said it has launched a review of Merck & Co Inc's cholesterol drug Tredaptive after the medicine failed a U.S. trial assessing its effectiveness and safety.
Although the commercial fallout from any decision to pull the drug from the market in Europe would be limited, it would be a blow to Merck's reputation.
Bernstein analyst Tim Anderson estimates that Tredaptive sales in Europe and other non-U.S. markets are running at only around $50 million a year, compared to Merck's overall revenue of $47 billion.
The drug is designed to raise "good" HDL cholesterol but the 25,000 patient study found it didn't do better at preventing heart attacks, deaths or strokes than traditional statin drugs that lower "bad" LDL cholesterol.
The large-scale trial also found that patients taking the drug suffered more non-fatal but serious side effects than those only taking statins.
The medicine was approved for use in Europe in 2008, but U.S. regulators were unwilling to approve it until Merck conducted the costly long-term study to better assess its safety and effectiveness.
Merck said on Thursday that it no longer planned to seek regulatory approval for the drug in the United States and recommended that doctors did not start new patients on Tredaptive in countries where it is already available.
The regulator backed that advice on Friday, but added that patients currently using the drug should speak a doctor at their next appointment but not stop their treatment.
Tredaptive is sold under the brand name Pelzont in Italy and Trevaclyn in both Italy and Portugal. A decision on the future of the drug in Europe is expected in January.

I was interviewed for the Voice of Israel English News on REKA radio in light of the new Cellcom TV ad. If you are unfamiliar with the ad you might want to check it out first:
Now here is my interview with journalist Idele Ross, as aired earlier today.
Unfortunately the interview was cut short by breaking news just as I finishing making my point. Oh well… Fortunately, the interview was broadcast a second time, this time in its entirety:
Newscaster Naomi Segal: […] You are tuned to Kol Yisrael, The Voice of Israel, broadcasting from Jerusalem. This week even the New York Times reported on the controversial Israeli television commercial for a cell phone company which shows Israeli soldiers and unseen Palestinians playing soccer over the security fence. Bloggers have been discussing the pros and cons of the commercial which carries the tagline "What do we all want? Some fun, that's all". Website designer and digital artist Shahar Golan blogs regularly about the culture of advertising in Israel. He spoke to reporter Idele Ross.
Shahar Golan: Usually when I look at an ad that amazes me at how either politically incorrect or just crass it is, I usually imagine, you know, like an 18 or 20 year old Israeli copywriter thinking about it and for some reason the process never stops at "Okay, that was a nice idea, let's think deeper, let's go further" and usually, in my mind at least, it seems like Israelis are making jokes and putting them into ads that really don't make the cut.
Idele Ross: So why blog about this in English on the Internet? Wouldn't you be more effective if you were, I don't know, blogging about it in Hebrew?
Shahar Golan: Yeah, well… My niche is basically writing in English about popular culture and also I blog about Israeli stuff but since I see my audience as the entire world, I just can't constrain myself into writing in Hebrew which has a definite number of people who can understand it. I write in English and hope that the world reads it and Israelis would make an effort to read it.
Idele Ross: So, among your most recent entries is "Top 10 Most Offensive Israeli Ads – Part 1", "Top 10 Most Offensive Israeli Ads – Part 2". Now, based on what's out there, who's reading and what kind of responses or talkbacks are you getting?
Shahar Golan: I usually see what people are searching for and basically people are interested in what offends people, either as research or, you know, they've seen something that was just so out there that they wanted to share and see who's been talking about it and that's how many people come to and find my blog. In the post that you mentioned, basically, I write down about politically incorrect or ads that were made hoping that no one outside Israel would see them. There's an ad, for instance, for the cable company, HOT, that uses the Vietnam war in a very elaborate musical kinda way but was a bit too much in my opinion, assuming someone will, from the outside world, from the US or from Vietnam, would see it makes light of it just to entertain Israelis and sell a couple of cable subscriptions and that was a bit too much in my opinion.
Idele Ross: Will you be highlighting the most recent, somewhat controversial, Cellcom ad?
Shahar Golan: Right… I've been thinking about it, and thinking what I'm thinking about it and what's my opinion, because basically the ad itself is rather cute, let me say, and that's what's rather annoying about it. You know, as Israelis we're all soldiers at one point or another, and we like our soldiers, so when you're seeing a couple of soldiers playing soccer in a cutesy kinda way it's rather nice, but this has further political implications that I'm not sure either the ad company McCann Erickson thought about or the advertiser Cellcom had thought about because this basically moves them into the political conversation and I'm not sure that they want to find themselves there. The ad can be construed as rather controversial, because you see soldiers basically playing over the security fence, the Israeli barrier, but you don't see their counterparts, you don't see the Palestinians who are allegedly playing soccer with them, and it's a convenient way for the company to say, you know, "We are connecting people, we are in communication", and how easily it is to connect, to move beyond the obstacles, but basically since "the other" is faceless it's rather crass and a very strange step for the company to engage in this political discussion that probably has no business within the business world.
Newscaster Naomi Segal: Blogger Shahar Golan. The weather outlook for tomorrow through Tuesday…
Update: I have just noticed I was mistaken and the Vietnam war ad I mentioned during the interview was not for Israeli cable television provider HOT, but for Israeli satellite television provider YES. Apparently, aside from leaving a bad aftertaste, the ad was unsuccessful in 'branding' me with their product. HOT, YES, it's all a blur…

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sharpie from Nice kitchen shears Just received these this past week. I like the feel of them very much.Date published: 2017-09-15Rated 4 out of 5 by CulinaryCailliers from Shun Shears We have had these for over 3 years and they are still going strong. We do sharpen them from time to time and use the knife cleaning kit to take care of them.Date published: 2017-06-13Rated 2 out of 5 by tbidder from Not worth the price I received these shears for Christmas 2014, and was very excited to use them, as they were replacing a pair of years-old Wusthof shears, just about worn out. My original impression was not-so-great, but decided to give them time. I use them every week, sometimes more than once, and have been disappointed at the decline in quality, I only use them for poultry, and occasionally other meats. Never for anything but cooking. Now, the shears tear the skin rather than cutting through, and they barely have enough zip to cut off wing tips. I thought maybe I was losing my grip, so dug out the old pair, and no, grip is just fine. I love the feel of the shears, and love the way they come apart for cleaning, and not unexpectedly. I just wish they would cut better. I can buy a new pair of Wusthof every few years for what I paid for these. Maybe I got a bad pair...Date published: 2015-09-04Rated 5 out of 5 by Matchstick from Top Deawer Shears Excellent pair of shears, a multi task item, a great product, highly satisfied.Date published: 2015-04-17Rated 5 out of 5 by anewbaker from Great tool I bought it for cutting up chickens.

Great for trimming up that chicken and getting it ready for the grill!Date published: 2013-04-20Rated 5 out of 5 by cottageliving from perfect performance The food shears are light weight for trimming chives and scallions yet sturdy enough to debone chicken and create meat strips for stir fry.

Quite happy with that, into the tail already with Phillips the only real batsman remaining. My batting was somewhat dodgy (three wickets in the first two overs) but the bowling has been good as usual. Whitehorne still yet to bowl a ball.
A win should virtually secure the title, there is a slight possibility of me still coming second if I get absolutely thrashed next week and the no. 2 team dispenses a thrashing of similar proportions. It's unlikely though.
Edit: and Downer has just dismissed Phillips. Gun. And another.

I also have two floating stamina nets, one of which is currently on Woods, the other of which is currently on another trainee I bought and am training up for the duration of his contract before hopefully selling him on for a decent profit.
I'm unsure as to what to do at the end of the season. With the TM going so mad at the moment, I might not buy 17 year olds at the start of this season and just carry on training these guys instead. Alternatively I could sell one of each and carry on training two whilst buying in 1 or 2 new 17 year olds. What would you recommend?
I wouldn't bother giving any of them fielding nets, I might give Kepler a w/k net depending on what your current keeper is like. I'd be inclined to sell one of those trainees and go with double primary nets on the remaining 3, with any left over being nets being fitness nets til you get the stamina up to a good level. At 19/20 drop to one primary net, they should be quality-wonderful by then with high stamina. The secondaries might be lagging behind a bit by then but they'll gradually catch up when they're one netted.

Alzheimer's Disease: Early Detection Matters wins American Express Members Project
The Alzheimer's Disease: Early Detection Matters campaign has been selected as the top campaign in the Members Project from American Express and will receive $1.5 million. The Alzheimer's Disease: Early Detection Matters campaign received more than 24,101 votes from American Express card members as the project they would most like to see funded.
The project was initially submitted by Jay Smith, whose wife, Patty, was diagnosed at the age of 51 after two years of uncertainty. According to the Alzheimer's Association 2008 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures report, there are approximately 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's and as many as 500,000 living with early-onset Alzheimer's Disease and other dementias. About half of the people who are currently living with Alzheimer's have not been diagnosed.
"It took more than two years for my wife to obtain a correct medical diagnosis, so we decided to do everything we can to increase early detection of Alzheimer's, stop the progression of the disease and help others along the way," said Jay Smith, American Express Cardmember who submitted the Early Detection Matters project. "The final stages of the disease are ravaging for the patient and caregiver. We can reduce that suffering by increasing knowledge about the early warning signs and importance of early detection, so people have the opportunity to plan for their future and take advantage of the resources that are currently available to them."
Many Americans don't know the 10 warning signs that signal memory loss might be a serious medical problem. The Alzheimer's Disease: Early Detection Matters campaign was designed to create and implement an education program informing the public about the 10 warning signs of the disease along with the importance of an early diagnosis of Alzheimer's, a progressive and fatal disease. One of the many benefits of early diagnosis is the ability for the person living with Alzheimer's to be a part of the solution and help their family in making care decisions.
The Alzheimer's Association will receive the $1.5 million to implement the Alzheimer's Disease Early Detection Matters campaign. Funds from the American Express Members Project will enable the Alzheimer's Association to:
- Collaborate with other health leaders and combine resources to get the word out about the importance of early detection of Alzheimer's disease.
- Engage people with Alzheimer's to be advocates allowing them to tell their story about how early detection of Alzheimer's changed their lives.
- Increase public education about the importance of early detection of Alzheimer's via advertising, public relations and other forms of proactive communications.
- Promote participation in clinical trials of groundbreaking treatments.
- Empower those who suspect they may have Alzheimer's to find the help and hope they need.
- Educate physicians about the 10 Warning Signs and patient support services.

In 1970, the Red Sox regularly closed off a section in the center-field bleachers to help hitters see the ball as the pitcher released it. The section took on the nickname, "Conig's Corner," after Tony Conigliaro, who was hit by a pitch in the eye in 1967. The club also enclosed Fenway Park's center field flag pole, which had been in play on the warning track since 1934. The Red Sox had a new manager in Eddie Kasko but the same third place result in 1970 and in July, a group of Jehovah's Witnesses flocked to the park.
Record: 87-75, 3rd in American League East
Manager: Edward M. Kasko
Attendance: 1,595,278
Under new manager Eddie Kasko, the 1970 Red Sox finished 87-75. Though they placed third in the league standings, they ranked first in attendance, at 1,595,278.
Carl Yastrzemski led the league in both on-base percentage and slugging, and matched the 40 home runs he'd hit in 1969. His May 16 home run was one of the longest ever hit at Fenway Park. The ball traveled all the way out of the park to straightaway center, passing to the right of the flagpole, which had been enclosed and taken out of play before the season.
Tony Conigliaro led the team with 116 RBIs and combined with his brother Billy to hit 54 home runs, which still stands as a single-season record for two relatives playing for the same team. Seven Boston players hit at least 16 homers, and the Red Sox hit a then-club record 203 home runs.
The pitching staff was led by Ray Culp (17-14), Gary Peters (16-11) and Sonny Siebert (15-8). The trio accounted for 48 of the team's 87 victories. Yastrzemski almost won another batting title but lost out by fractions of a point after playing through a twisted ankle.
In 1970, the Red Sox regularly closed off a triangular section in the center-field bleachers (the area the batter sees directly behind the pitcher's release point). This area came to be known as "Conig's Corner," since it gave Tony Conigliaro a better background for hitting and perhaps protected him against another beaning. However, after the season, GM Dick O'Connell announced that he had traded Conigliaro to California for Doug Griffin.
For almost 60 years, Fenway Park's flagpole in center field was a quirky part of the field of play. However, in 1970, the flag pole was enclosed when an extension, which is used as a location for television cameras today, was built on the left side of the bleachers.

James Howard Kunstler, over at The Burning Platform, offers a view on a nascent post-consumer society in the making – Time for No-Tech – a favorite topic of mine. Long on rose color and short on pragmatism, Kunstler avoids the need by ending on this note:
"Farewell to the auto age and hello again to real communities. Hard to believe, I'm sure, as you read this in traffic on your iPad, but your commuting days are numbered. Indeed the whole car thing comes to a rather stunningly abrupt halt – though we are certainly doing everything possible now to prop it up. The old Herb Stein formulation will apply here: people do what they can until they can't, and then they don't. The implications in this for how we inhabit the landscape going forward are rather huge. Find a nice small town on a waterway surrounded by farmland and get ready to have a life.
"In the meantime, as these circumstances roil in the background, you can be sure that the people running things will campaign strenuously to keep the current set of rackets running. The results will be sad and possibly terrifying. Be brave and seek opportunity in these epochal changes. Modernity has nearly put us out of business. Leave the exhausted enterprise behind and be human for while. Enjoy the time-out from techno-progress that is at hand. It will be something to be grateful for."
I applaud his optimism, his heart-felt belief that we will get through this transition. I hope he's right. I'm too much a student of history. I know what happens when a transition involves the haves versus the have-nots, something he obliquely refers to when he mentions, "the people running things will campaign strenuously to keep the current set of rackets running."
What happens is a French Revolution, not an American Revolution. The American Revolution is extremely unique in history, with Americans (aristocrats, landed gentry, merchants, artisans, yeoman, etc.) acting in concert against a common enemy: England. From that angle, the American Revolution is almost boring to study in terms of social ramifications. We simply wanted self determination for our continent.
The storming of the gates at the Bastille was another matter: the start of a long and painful transition involving the haves pitted against the have-nots, not self determination. Once the violence and guillotines broke out, the whole thing went sideways. The drama makes for great reading, but the outcomes remain questionable. Did the have-nots benefit? Did anyone benefit? After the violence erupts, it becomes more difficult for a transition to land on its feet.
I don't see anything on the American horizon to suggest violence is imminent. In fact, quite the contrary: I see too many apathetic Americans watching those cheap TVs they bought at Wal-Mart – the very behavior Kunstler presses against – rather than pursuing meaningful engagement against a political and economic system that is slowly (but surely) boiling them to death. The political and economic tyranny dawns in almost imperceptible shades of gray, unless one starts to pay attention. Life is so daily, and the changes so subtle, that few notice.
Eventually, one of two scenarios will emerge: nothing, or violence. Nothing, in that, like the corruption that has enveloped every level of Russian society, people go about their daily lives, knowingly numb to the reality that surrounds them. Or violent, in that suddenly a spark occurs, people wake from their sleep, only it's too late to make changes to our political and economic systems in a peaceful manner, thus they grab their torches and pitchforks in heated anger.
And under the violent scenario, there is always some opportunist ready to rile the rabble and lead the march. If successful, the opportunist places himself in charge and we suddenly realize, too late, that we simply traded the devil that we knew for the devil that we didn't know.
Think Napoleon.
Or, if you need a more recent (and ongoing) example, think Morsi in Egypt.
But more importantly, just think.

Jim, you are driving me crazy.
Every time I get frustrated with one of the Miracle's little eccentricities (for instance, wasting an entire page on a glamour shot of Colby staring at the same airship that we'd already seen him staring at pages earlier), you whip out some nifty little plot point that just makes me keep reading.
I've been on the verge of giving up on your frequently stagnant pacing many times, and then--BAM!!--here comes another curveball.
If only the plot kept coming as fast and furious as your beautiful art, I wouldn't find myself in this position.

Here's one that I tend to forget about. Just heard it today at the shop and remembered. Maybe not my all-time favorite, but whenever I hear it, I stop what I'm doing and listen.
Diamonds & wood ===== UGK
Pantera for sure, but I could think of at least 50 songs better than "Walk". IMO, that song was played-out back in the 90's. Still love anything and everything Pantera though. Probably my biggest musical influence growing up......or possibly ever!
Nowadays, hearing Dime shred sends chills up my spine and gives me the urge to punch someone in the face, all at the same time.
If you can actually not listen to this entire song, especially the epic guitar solo, you need to go get some new ears because the ones you have are defective. Period. End of conversation.

Now I can't stop listening to all the greats tonight. As I type this, "something something electric" (you know the one I mean) is blasting.
"There's a part of me that's always 16. I've found the secret to eternal youth".
That right there just speaks volumes!

Just remembered this one too:
OOPS! Had to remove that link. Just do a search on youtube for "sepultura wacken 2012".
Just the opening alone is incredible, not to mention the rest of the set.
I never saw Sepultura in concert, but did see Soulfly and they were awesome and played quite a few of the Sepultura classiscs. The show was at the Electric Factory in Philly, so it was nowhere near the capacity of this stage, but they still did a killer solo with these big drums (looked kinda like those big bass drums that a marching band would have but way more awesome). That was when Soulfly, Static-X and the two opening bands all came out on stage together and absolutely killed it! They even played "Burning Inside" by Ministry. Awesome night to say the very least!
Oh and did you notice Tommy Chong playing the steel drum with Sepultura on that video?

Fibby Hooper's coffee-filter just exploded:
Hamas front CAIR offers nothing but the same old thuggery & buggery. CAIR thugs hate to debate us over the glaring truth, so they claim we hate Muslims, trying to deflect the attention of the people from the true worldwide problem of Islam, jihad, Shariah and tyranny.
Shhhh! CAIR wants speaker silenced at U.S. law school
- Claims former Muslim's criticism of Islam 'reminiscent of Nazi Germany'–(WND)
The Council on American-Islamic Relations is working to stop author and former Muslim Nonie Darwish from addressing students this week at Virginia's George Mason University School of Law.
According to a press release, CAIR wants the school to disinvite Darwish – whom CAIR calls "a notorious Islamophobe who has stated that Islam is a 'poison to a society' that is 'based on lies' and must be 'annihilated'" – from a planned Oct. 5 address titled "The West's Clash with Radicalism."
"Such hate-filled views should not be funded by student organizations or endorsed by professors," said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. "Darwish's genocidal statements are reminiscent of those used to target the Jewish community in Nazi Germany."
But Darwish, who told WND she sees Muslims as largest victims of Shariah (or Islamic) law, says CAIR is falsely equating criticism of a religion with hatred for a people because "the problem for CAIR is that they cannot debate us about the glaring truth, so they claim we hate Muslims, trying to deflect the attention of the American people from the true worldwide problem of Islamism, jihad, Shariah and tyranny.
"If anyone criticizes the ideology of Islam, jihad and Shariah, CAIR spins it to an attack on the Muslim people, confusing the American people between criticism of an ideology and being a racist against a whole group of people," Darwish told WND. "I hope that the American people are more intelligent than to fall for this kind of childish spin."
Read Nonie Darwish's insider look at living under Shariah law in "Cruel and Usual Punishment," autographed in the WND SuperStore!
As for being labeled a "Islamophobe," Darwish said, "The truth is that I am afraid of Islamic laws that condemn me and thousands, if not millions of others, who have left the religion of Islam. Shariah is the only religious law in the word that condemns those who leave the religion to death. I do not think it is unreasonable phobia to speak against such a tyrannical law. Actually, it is my duty towards myself and the civil and human rights of many others."
Darwish's address is sponsored by the Federalist Society and the Jewish Law Students Association.
A former Muslim who lived under Shariah for the first 30 years of her life, Darwish is the author of "Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law."
CAIR's objection to her appearance is based partially on a previous speech, in which Darwish addressed a rally in Florida sponsored by Stop Islamization of America, a organization headed by Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, whom CAIR calls "two of the nation's leading Islamophobes," blasting their organization as "a hate group."
CAIR has also attempted to block Geller, author of "Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance," from speaking.
In May of last year, CAIR attempted to have Geller removed from the list of speakers at the inaugural Tennessee Tea Party Convention. Event organizers rebuffed CAIR's objections.
Geller later wrote on her blog, "CAIR is trying to get good, decent Americans in the Tennessee Tea Party to crush free speech by dropping me."
"Islam is a poison to a society. It's divisive. It's hateful," Darwish told Geller's Florida rally. "Islam should be feared, and should be fought, and should be conquered, and defeated and annihilated, and it's going to happen. Ladies and gentlemen, Islam is going to be brought down. . .Because Islam is based on lies and it's not based on the truth. I have no doubt whatsoever that Islam is going to be destroyed."
For these comments, CAIR blasted Darwish as "filled with anti-Islam hate."
Darwish, however, says she's speaking not from hate, but from a desire to see people – especially Muslims – freed: "What I speak about, and what CAIR is afraid of being exposed, is my standing up against the tyranny of Shariah law, the radical ideology of violent jihad, the commandments to kill Jews by many sheikhs in the Middle East and in many Muslim scriptures, my stand against atrocities happening today in the name of Shariah law to thousands and perhaps millions of people, including Muslims, in over 54 countries around the world.
"Criticizing Sharia, Islamic law and other radical laws against women, Jews and non-Muslims is a crime against Islam in Shariah," she concluded, "and CAIR has convinced some Americans that it's a crime in America also."
Make a donation of $25 to protect the free flow of information about threats to America's security and get both the e-book and the hardcover edition of the book that exposes CAIR, "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America."

The Process of Creativity
The creative attribute has always been a highly debated and researched component of the human psyche. The "designer" job title seems to be one that calls to the more creative minded among us and according to some, requires the highest level of creative processing. This idea does lend itself to the truth, web designers are called upon to find creative solutions every day. However, we certainly aren't alone.

Homeless Scare Numbers
The National Center on Family Homelessness has generated headlines today by releasing a report that claims "one in 50 children is homeless in the United States every year." That would be a total of 1.5 million homeless children, a truly shocking figure. The number is all the more shocking because the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development says there actually only 671,000 people were homeless in 2007 (the last year for which data is available), of which only about 249,000 were people in families. Assuming even one adult per family would mean there were around 166,000 homeless children, far too many, but also far fewer than 1.5 million.
What accounts for the discrepancy? First, the National Center uses an incredibly broad definition of homeless. For example, in addition to those we usually think of as homeless (those living in shelters or on the streets), they also include people "Sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason." Under this definition, when your out‐of‐work in‐law crashes on your couch, he's homeless. The National Center also includes people "living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds," children awaiting foster care placement, and children of migratory farm workers. And, a child needs only to fall into one of these categories for a single day to qualify as homeless.
Second, this study, like the HUD study as well, are not actual counts of the homeless, but estimates and extrapolations based on reports by various government agencies. The Census Bureau does attempt to do an actual head count of the homeless (170,000 in 2000), but that estimate is both out‐of‐date and generally criticized as an undercount. Still, going from that estimate to 1.5 million homeless children seems quite a stretch.
Homelessness is clearly a problem, and for the children involved, a tragedy, but scare headlines are a poor substitute for thoughtful public policy.

Classical Studies
Classical Studies
Kauke Hall
400 E. University Street
Wooster, OH 44691
Phone: 330-263-2575
Hours: 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
The Classics program at Wooster is fundamentally interdisciplinary, and students have ample opportunity to approach the study of ancient Greece and Rome from a variety of perspectives: language and literature, history and myth, religion and philosophy, and archaeology and anthropology.
Students are also strongly encouraged to study abroad, and the College participates in highly regarded programs in both Italy and Greece. In the past, the department has offered its own study-abroad program, "Wooster in Greece," during which students can immerse themselves in Greek culture from the ancient to the modern period by visiting the famous sites of Athens, Crete, Delphi, the Peloponnesus, and Turkey.
Faculty and students in classical studies form a close and vibrant community. Once a week they eat lunch together around the mensa latina, where they convene for group reading and informal conversation in Latin. At the beginning and end of every semester they celebrate in classical fashion and on occasion make field trips to museums, performances of ancient plays, and lectures. Many students, both majors and minors, choose to live together in the Classics Suite in Luce Hall. Advanced language students are often invited to join the national honorary collegiate society for students of Latin and/or Greek, which has at present a thriving chapter on the Wooster campus.
"The Classics are always modern." – Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Ancient Greek and Latin Reading Group
The Ancient Greek and Latin Reading Group meets to translate and discuss key passages of Greek and Latin philosophy, drama, poetry, myth, and history. The purpose of the group is to hone translation skills while learning more about Greek and Roman literature. The group meets every Friday at 2:30 p.m. in the Kauke Commons.

Turn the HDD shortage into a strategic opportunity
With hard disk drive (HDD) prices rising and some models tough to find, there are steps to take to reduce your dependence on hard drives while gaining other benefits along the way.
- Arun Taneja, Taneja Group
With hard disk drive (HDD) prices rising and some models tough to find, there are steps to take to reduce your dependence on hard drives while gaining other benefits along the way.
The recent shortage of hard disk drives (HDDs) due to the floods in Thailand has many information technology (IT) people and vendors worried: Should they just pay the higher prices to get the drives they need, or turn to alternatives such as solid-state drives (SSDs)? Necessity being the mother of invention, I believe this is a great opportunity for IT to step back, take a holistic look and perhaps solve several problems at once. Of course, some needs can't wait, so paying heavy premiums may be your only recourse.
But if your needs aren't that urgent, consider the following:
Optimize and archive. Are you currently using primary storage capacity optimization tools that help you move data from primary storage to an archive platform such as tape or secondary disk? Effective archiving can ease the burden on your primary disk and help defer new HDD purchases. As an added bonus, applications will likely run faster because of lower capacity, and backups will be faster with less data to back up. And you won't continue to back up the same unused data over and over, saving space on whatever backup media you use.
Time to dedupe. On the backup side, if you haven't started using disk-based data deduplication, it may be time to start. Dedupe products can reduce disk requirements by a factor of 20 or more. If you only back up to tape right now, dedupe may help shorten backup windows, improve backup reliability and provide faster, more reliable recoveries, but this may mean buying additional disk. If you're already backing up to disk, deduplication is a must. If you're currently using deduplication, make sure it's used with all backup sets.
Primary data reduction. Primary storage data reduction using tools such as compression and deduplication can reduce disk capacities by a ratio in the range of 3-to-1 to 5-to-1, depending on data types. However, I'm reluctant to overemphasize data reduction, as the products are still new in the marketplace (except for IBM's Real-time Compression [RTC] and Dell's Ocarina-based products) and some may impact performance. You should either apply them post process, as in the case of NetApp's built-in data reduction, or do them inline as with IBM RTC. You don't want to trade application performance for capacity savings. Smart archiving should be a higher priority.
Think thin provisioning. If you haven't taken advantage of thin provisioning in your storage arrays, this is a good time to turn it on. Most popular arrays offer this functionality and many offer a way to convert thick logical unit numbers (LUNs) to thin LUNs online and totally nondisruptively. This same technology also applies to clones. See if your current array supports this functionality and thin those LUNs out.
Trim snapshots. It's also a good idea to do a check on how many snapshots you keep. You might find that paring them down has no effect on the level of protection an app needs and you can regain some disk space. Of course, you should make sure the snapshot technology you use generates space-efficient snapshots.
Use the cloud. If you've been thinking about moving some data to the cloud, this may be a good time to do so. Look at backup, archiving and disaster recovery-type applications for the initial move of data to the cloud. But you should consider primary storage, too. There are vendors like StorSimple who offer excellent tier 2 primary storage, with cloud as the back end. In effect, they make cloud storage look and behave like primary storage, using caching, SSDs, deduplication, wide-area network (WAN) optimization and other technologies. With these cloud-integrated storage solutions, you effectively shift the HDD shortage problem to the cloud provider.
Solid-state options. This is a great time to figure out what your SSD strategy should be. With SSDs, you can reduce HDD purchases while accelerating applications that are starved for I/O. But you need to develop an SSD strategy rather than just look at it as a hard disk drive alternative. Not all applications need SSDs, and not all SSDs are alike, so some research is required to understand which applications would benefit and what type of flash product would be appropriate. A server-based PCI Express (PCIe) card can provide storage and pump up the performance of a single physical server. SSDs can be placed in the HDD slots in servers or arrays, and intelligent software can automatically move data from flash to the hard disk drive and back, depending on its "heat factor." There are many solid-state drive options and while they may be good replacements for hard disks, some planning and a strategy are required.
If you look around your shop, I'm sure you can come up with other best practices that may help reduce your company's hard disk requirements. With the storage industry in a jam relative to HDDs, it could be a great time to rise above the panic and take steps that are strategic and consistent with good storage management.

Ski with a Ranger guides will conduct tours in both Spanish and English for the first time in the program's history.
South Shore visitors and locals have skied with U.S. Forest Service rangers at Heavenly on and off for more than 30 years to learn about Tahoe's natural and cultural history while making turns on the slopes, but the organization didn't offer a Spanish-language option until this season.
According to LTBMU Conservation Education Assistant Megan Dee, the Spanish tours are geared toward both locals and visitors. The U.S. Census found that more than 31 percent of South Lake Tahoe residents in 2010 identified themselves as Latino, while tourists from Mexico and other parts of Latin America make up one of the largest groups visiting Heavenly, Dee said.
"I think part of my job has to do with involving those demographics in these programs," Dee said. "Hopefully we can spark some local interest."
Dee and her co-worker Adrian Escobedo, the LTBMU civil rights officer, lead the Spanish-language tours once a month. The first one of the season took off on Feb. 13 and the next one is set for March 13. Dee said they'll guide one additional tour on March 27 to coincide with Heavenly's "Latin Ski Week," which starts at the end of the month. The Spanish-language tours will wrap up on April 10.
Heavenly's website has a section on the Entertainment and Events Calendar dedicated to the LTBMU program and translated into Spanish. There's another page, also in Spanish, devoted to the resort's Semana Santa festivities and activities.
Dee said she hopes that the resort's marketing will help the Forest Service continue the Spanish program next year. Only one person showed up for the guided event in February – it's hard to attract people who don't know about the tours and the first-come, first-serve style can be limiting, Dee said – but the interest is there. A group of Ecuadorians heard the February tour conducted in Spanish and said they wished they'd heard about the program earlier, according to Dee.
Ski with a Ranger began in the late 1970s as a way to explain the relationship between the Forest Service, the resort – which operates on public lands with a special use permit – and other regional agencies. Participants learn about the mission and role of the LTBMU in ski area management, natural resource processes and issues and how to be environmental stewards, according to a Forest Service press release.
The current Ski with a Ranger structure, where guests meet with LTBMU guides at the top of the gondola twice-daily every Monday and Friday if the weather permits, started five years ago.
Forest Service volunteers Emily Matthews and Jenna Hooper led a group of seven guests last week on a tour that addressed watershed restoration, water quality improvement and fuels reduction among other South Shore issues.
Ski with a Ranger participant Michael Sexton of Novato, Calif., said it was one of the top ranger-lead tours he'd been on.
"Our ranger guides, Jenna and Emily, were fun and very well informed about the ecosystem and the history of the Tahoe Basin and the lovely mountains we enjoy. I have taken many ranger-guided tours over the last 30 years and this ranks among the best. I had fun and learned much about the ecosystem and the ways we can help maintain the incredible environment we are blessed with," Sexton said.

I mean, the two recent topics with the most responses are, that question one, which I don't even understand. Do you just reply to other people's random questions with another uncorrelated question for someone else? I don't even...It just feels like watching a room full of curious deaf people, with no arms.
The other topic is Neo's one about how much he hates himself. It teased the nipples of philosophy for a little while but then it just crept back to being a moody moo. At least there is some consistency there, like returning home after a year to find your bedroom is the same as when you left it, even though you left it covered in fresh milk. However, if I came back to find Neo being positive and chirpy then I would have to firmly place both hands on my desk and bravely fight back the tears.
Anywoo, I'm sure if we rub our foreheads against one another we can find something rich and delicious to talk about.
Games maybe? You want to talk about games? Ok, I know.
Out of all the games you know, what was the best way of recovering health? Or, if you can think up a more interesting/entertaining idea then bring it up, so we can all twiddle our mustaches and talk amongst ourselves about how we like you now.
Though, you still can't come with us to the disco, there's girls there.
I liked it in Far Cry 2 when your health was critical, you stab yourself in the shin with a knife. It always felt like I was just prolonging the inevitable. After a torrent of bullets hit me in the face I would skulk off, sit in a bush and pry a solitary bullet out of my leg with a knife, that I was using to slash potentially disease ridden ne'erdowells only seconds before.
/--\- Am apparently still allowed here! :D
This is me as close to happiness as possible if you were wondering:
Watching a string of high-fives is pretty heart warming, I'll give you that. Though, the string does have to come to an end eventually. That's life though isn't it?
Grasping at the temporary moments of satisfaction before they disappear, placing you back at the harrowing starting line with nothing but memories and a void of how impermanent the finish line feels to you.
Unless......A circle of high-fives? There we go, cheer up.
I was actually hoping it was a video of health regeneration or something. So...no, it's ok. That video was fine.........no no, don't....don't even worry about it. Totally fine.
...It's diabetes.
/--\- Am apparently still allowed here! :D
I'd like to see a health system where they regain life by destroying their enemies. Invincibility is granted for a limited time if they first kill the enemy's loved ones, bonus health for ripping out the enemy's heart and placing it in the hands of their only surviving child.
Kidding. I wouldn't mind a game where they regain health based on taking various medical supplies or picking up hearts.

Tito Vilanova dies of cancer at 45
Former Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova died on Friday aged 45 after a long battle with throat cancer.
• Hunter: Tito gone too soon
• Carlisle: Teammate's memory
• Tributes to Vilanova
Vilanova succeeded Pep Guardiola at Barcelona and won the Spanish league title in 2012, his only season in charge.
Vilanova had undergone emergency surgery on Thursday at Clinica Quiron in Barcelona as gastric complications arose, multiple news outlets in Spain reported. The Catalan coach had dealt with cancer in his parotid gland for more than two years.
Vilanova, 45, had been in the hospital since last Friday, according to Marca.
As word of Vilanova's worsening health spread on Thursday, a call for courage of "Anims Tito" went out across social media.
Weeks before the start of this season, Vilanova told players he would not be able to continue at the helm of the team.
"The doctors recommend that, with the treatments that I must follow from now on, I cannot devote 100 percent to the tasks of head coach as required by FC Barcelona. But I will continue to work closely for the club that I love on other sporting tasks," he said at the time through a statement.
Vilanova was Guardiola's assistant before being promoted to the top job in 2012. In his one season in charge, Vilanova led Barca to their fourth La Liga title in five years, becoming only the second team after Real Madrid to reach the 100-point mark.
He had a tumour removed from his throat in late 2011, but suffered a relapse a year later and took multiple trips to New York for treatment.
Upon Vilanova's passing, Barcelona issued this statement via Twitter.
The FC Barcelona is in immense mourning. Tito Vilanova has died at the age of 45. May he rest in peace
— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) April 25, 2014
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu said via statement: "Tito Vilanova, a human role model and a football icon. Thanks for everything you have taught us. Rest in peace."
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho also issued this statement via the club's Twitter account: "Tito Vilanova's passing is a sad day for football, for Barcelona and most importantly for his family and friends. On behalf of everybody at Chelsea Football Club I send my deepest condolences at this most difficult time."
Lionel Messi expressed his condolences on his Facebook page: "Very difficult to forget you. We will always remember. All my love to Tito's family."
Vilanova is survived by his wife, Montse Chaure, and two children. His son Adrian is currently in Barcelona's youth academy.

Britain's Olympic track champion Wiggins on Monday was widely expected to increase his overnight lead of 10sec on his Australian rival on the first of two long time trials to feature in the 99th edition of the race.
But by the end of a 41.5 km solo ride that had seen former four-time world champion Fabian Cancellara finish 57sec in arrears, Wiggins had pushed his advantage over the Australian to 1min 53sec. The icing on the cake for Team Sky was Chris Froome's second place at 35sec, two days after the Kenyan-born Briton claimed his maiden stage at the first hilltop finish at La Planche des Belles Filles.
Evans's American teammate Tejay Van Garderen was fourth at 1:06, just ahead of French time trial champion Sylvain Chavanel in sixth at 1:24. Evans, who finished sixth at 1:43, admitted his surprise that Wiggins and Froome had "got first and second in the time trial".
But he added: "They were exceptional. "When you're out there on your own, there's not much you can do, you do what you can. But there's still a lot more racing to be done before Paris."
Wiggins' priority had been to distance his rivals for the yellow jersey. But soon after turning on the turbos from the start of the slightly technical rolling course, it was clear he would be giving Evans a small mountain to climb ahead of two days in the high Alps on Wednesday and Thursday.
"I knew from the first pedal turn that I felt fantastic," said the 32-year-old Londoner. "But to go from that to winning the stage, it's just fantastic.
"We came here and did a good reconnaissance of the course, which has lots of little bends and is quite technical at the finish.
"But today wasn't about winning. I was thinking more about the GC (general classification) battle with (Vincenzo) Nibali and Cadel. The stage wasn't my priority."
Italian Nibali, an aggressive racer who could become a key ally of Evans' in the mountains, did well to finish at 2:07 and is now fourth overall at 2:23. Having raced against Froome and Wiggins at last year's Tour of Spain, where the English pair finished around a minute ahead of him on a 47 km time trial in Salamanca, the Italian was not surprised.
"I expected to lose as much time to Froome and Wiggins after the Tour of Spain result last year," said Nibali, who rides for Liquigas.
Russian Denis Menchov, a former winner of the Tour of Spain and Giro d'Italia, is in fifth at 3:02.
Despite getting the job done, Wiggins is not celebrating yet. "After the rest day [on Tuesday] it will be a whole different ball game," he said.
"And anything can happen, a bad day or a crash, so let's just take it a day at a time."
Evans sealed victory in 2011 with a strong time trial performance on stage 19. But despite being encouraged with a time that was superior to world champion Tony Martin and only 46 secs behind Cancellara, he will have no option but to shake things up in the mountain stages ahead.
"It wasn't my best time trial but certainly not a bad one, and in comparison to the other time triallists like Cancellara and Martin and so on it seems that I wasn't so off the mark," said Evans.
Asked what his approach would now be, he added: "Same as always. Fight to the end and don't give up.
"It hasn't been optimal so far the Tour, 1:53 down is not the best position to be in compared to last year when I was only two seconds down [at the same stage].
"But we'll reassess the situation day by day and we don't give up, that's for sure, we don't give up." – AFP
