Whipping MuleSource Into Shape
Sep 1, 2009 4:00 AM PT
Having secured funding from Hummer Winblad Venture Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners and Morgenthaler Ventures, MuleSource cofounder Ross Mason turned what was the Mule Project into an open source player on the fast track. Re-invigorated with new CEO Greg Schott when another cofounder, Dave Rosenberg, left the company, MuleSource has been ramping up its business in the wake of a recession that has gutted some proprietary legacy players.
The Mule Project was an open source enterprise service bus (ESB) and integration platform that gained notoriety early on. MuleSource has adapted its product offerings in both the community and enterprise editions in the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and integration space. Its core business is selling subscriptions for its open source infrastructure software, Mule.
That core business has been successful -- MuleSource's revenues are rising with three successive quarters of record bookings.
However, the company is once again getting ready to take a gamble and release the next major release of their open source ESB.
"We set some very aggressive goals," MuleSource CEO Greg Schott told LinuxInsider.
Project Propelled
In a sense, MuleSource's experience is an example of how the open source business model should work. Mason worked in a small startup company after years as an engineer. He had worked for a few banks in London and saw that open source was emerging.
That led him to start the Mule Project and eventually roll it into a business venture to offer software that solved a variety of problems integrating communication among companies.
"Our main obstacle was figuring out, how does a successful open source project become a thriving company? We answered that question through innovation and monetizing. We did a lot of trial and error," Ross Mason, CTO and cofounder of MuleSource, told LinuxInsider.
For the most part, that plan is working. Martin made several mid-course corrections in driving MuleSource forward. A big change in direction took place last February when he hired Schott as the CEO.
"I looked at Greg as one who could drive strategy," said Mason.
Adjusting Course
Much of what he has done in guiding MuleSource is about growing a larger user base, according to Schott. The company continued to change its product line and developed an enterprise edition.
"We've done well as the product's reputation is spreading. Our challenge is how to grow that," Schott explained.
MuleSource is in the process of moving from being a developer's darling to establishing itself as a key enterprise integration player, according to Mike Meehan, senior analyst for application infrastructure at Current Analysis. The company is still making moves.
"It's moving well beyond the Web services-based integration it debuted with, recently adding mainframe and SAP transports. It also struck a key partnership with GigaSpaces to provide high availability services, which is a performance enhancement focused squarely on big-dollar customers," Meehan told LinuxInsider.
Growing Pains
In the past, open source companies have typically pick low-risk software categories. However, people are now more used to open source, so it has become applied to more mission-critical types of applications. The same thing is happening at MuleSource, Schott noted.
When he felt the number of product downloads was approaching critical mass, he decided to expand the offering.
Despite the several course adjustments, MuleSource walked a bit of a tightrope then as it is now. MuleSource faces stiff competition despite its progress.
"In order to land those big integration projects, it needs to add the functionality you'd find in ESBs from IBM, Oracle, Software AG, Progress (Sonic) and TIBCO. Yet it needs to keep its barriers to entry low, both in terms of price of and usability, because WSO2, Progress (FUSE) and Sun GlassFish are out there as capable open source competitors," said Meehan.
Hitting the Horizon
As Schott sees the landscape ahead, it involves challenging customers' understanding of data.
"The bottom tier of open source has become databases. People are now thinking of data in different ways. So we have to expand our offerings again. That put us in the sweet spot in the past," he said.
To that end, MuleSource is becoming an integration/ESB provider. The company is combining the data tier and presentation tasks into layers.
"That's our opportunity as a company to grow," Schott said.
Avoiding Detours
The biggest challenge MuleSource faces as a small, high-growth company is how to keep its cultural footprint intact. That involves both product simplicity and user base, according to Schott.
Related to that is how does the company keep expanding its product footprint? For that answer, Schott only has to look Microsoft for inspiration.
"We have to focus on avoiding bloat -- think Microsoft Windows. So that challenge is to stay lean and mean," he said.
Cultural Obstacle
Code bloat is not the only roadblock MuleSource must avoid. Incorrect pre-existing notions about open source among some consumers is another factor.
"One challenge we have been confronting is the notion that open source is not free software. We got quite lucky at being able to distinguish between community and enterprise versions," said Mason.
On the other hand, factors that have put strain on most businesses are actually turning into opportunities for MuleSource, according to Mason.
"The shifting economy has really helped us. No one ever gets fired for using open source. It brings savings of from 30 to 70 percent," said Mason.
The Goal of Integration
MuleSource's place among the integration players could be its safety net. There is no shortage of integration work to be done, according to Meehan.
In many ways, much of modern IT revolves around integration projects. This involves getting different applications, divisions or companies to work together, he offered.
"It's a fertile landscape off of which a company like MuleSource can live. It's proven out its technology and business model, which is why it keeps growing even in a shrinking global economy," said Meehan.
Strategy Questions
Continuing to move MuleSource forward will keep Schott pondering answers to key questions. His ability to drive strategy, as Mason noted, will be put to some critical tests.
"There's no question MuleSource can survive or even thrive. The real question is how big can it be, along with whether it will remain an independent entity. Will MuleSource start acquiring technology to build around its ESB business, or will it be acquired to add a strong integration backbone to something like the new VMware-SpringSource hybrid?" prodded Meehan.
Either way, he sees MuleSource as a fascinating company to keep watching. Its technology will be part of the enterprise IT landscape for a long time to come, predicted Meehan.

Since the last quest and this one basically end and begin seamlessly, you'll have little time to react in between. Simply proceed forward, following Dr. Li and she goes through a door into the inner courtyard of The Citadel. Here, Dr. Li will run into someone she's familiar with, the Brotherhood of Steel's leader, Elder Lyons. Listen to the two of them speak to each other at length, as they talk about the Enclave, Project Purity, and more. Thereafter, Dr. Li declares how tired she is and rushes off to rest, leaving you to your own devices. The Citadel is a large, large place, and we have a lot of ground to explore.
Now, The Citadel seems so large that it's almost daunting. But don't let its perceived size daunt you at all, because it's really not all that big at all. Its scope is gigantic, sure, but you'll soon realize there's really only so many places you can actually enter and explore. The three primary areas you should explore are aptly named: Ring A, Ring B and the Lab, which is underneath both Rings. You can enter into Ring A via several doors in the center courtyard of The Citadel (known as The Bailey). Do so and begin talking to all named Paladins and other Brotherhood members you encounter (those without proper names won't talk to you beyond a passing comment, so just ignore them).
There's one very important person you need to speak to before you can do much of anything else at the Citadel, however, and that's the Brotherhood's leader, Elder Lyons (you may have spoken to his daughter earlier). You can learn all sorts of interesting information by speaking to him. He repeats much of the same stuff his Paladins do, but he has in-depth information about the Enclave, the Brotherhood, and more. And most importantly, you can ask him for two important favors, both of which he will easily grant you. The first thing you should ask him is if you can trade with the Brotherhood, and the second is if you can be trained to use Power Armor. He'll grant you both wishes before bidding you adieu.
Now it's time to trade and learn how to use Power Armor. Since Elder Lyons can only be found in the lab area of The Citadel, you'll already be in the proper area to find Knight Captain Durga, the Brotherhood's trader. Speak with her and see her wares, unloading all of the crap you've been holding that you want to get rid of. However, you should hold onto any Power-related gear, since you'll be shortly wanting to wear it (that means you can sell off your weaker garbs). When you're done speaking with Durga, head back outside to The Bailey and find the only guy up there who will actually talk to you at length, a man named Paladin Gunny. Gunny is in charge of training new Brotherhood recruits (known as Initiates), and will gladly teach you how to use Power Armor. The up side to this? Other than getting to wear their incredible armor which you no doubt have been wondering how to wear up to this point, it's learned instantaneously. There's nothing special you have to do. So equip that Power Armor and feel the power.
You may have noticed something funny about this place. You're amongst the most dangerous and well-armed people in the entire Capital Wasteland (apart from, perhaps, the newly-arrived Enclave detachment). But when you take the crap lying around, which isn't marked red, there is no penalty. Very interesting! This means you should run around and start grabbing as much crap as you can, which you can then turn around and sell to Knight Captain Durga for valuable Bottle Caps. The Bailey doesn't offer much of value (you can find some Dinner Plates and Empty Soda Bottles, but not much else). So head on inside. We'll begin our valuables hunt in Ring A.
It might seem entirely too devious to be stealing things from the Brotherhood since they've basically taken you in, but even players playing as a strictly well-to-do character can get away with as much thievery as they so choose, so long as they don't try to pickpocket any of the Brotherhood members themselves. Ring A has plenty of crap for you to grab, including myriad goods that aren't too valuable, but that you'll want to pick up anyway. Amongst the more valuable items you should find are four Cartons of Cigarettes, Turpentine, a Pilot Light, five bottles of Wonderglue, a Sensor Module, and even a Teddy Bear. You'll also find plenty of food, including some Fancy Lads Snack Cakes, Dandy Boy Apples, Noodles, Pork N Beans, Sugar Bombs, and more Nuka-Cola than you'll know what to do with.

University of Oxford, OCLC Research collaborate to study digital 'residents' and 'visitors' in transition between high school and university
DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 31 March 2011—University of Oxford and OCLC Research are collaborating in a six-month JISC-funded study, which is part of a larger three-year longitudinal project to investigate the theory of digital residents and visitors with students in the transitional educational stage, the time between late-stage secondary or high school and the first year of university.
Titled "Visitors and Residents: What Motivates Engagement with the Digital Information Environment?" the pilot phase of this collaborative international project began in January and will continue through the middle of 2011. Project directors are Mr. David White, Co-Manager (Development), Technology-Assisted Lifelong Learning (TALL), part of the University of Oxford, and Dr. Lynn Silipigni Connaway, Senior Research Scientist at OCLC. Dr. Donna Lanclos, Library Ethnographer at the J. Murrey Atkins Library, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, will conduct data collection and analysis efforts in the United States.
"This is timely research which will move forward our understanding of how learners engage with the Web," said Mr. White. "It is especially exciting to be part of a trans-Atlantic partnership which allows us to compare students' digital learning strategies in different cultural contexts."
Digital residents spend a portion of their lives online, using the Web to develop an identity and maintain relationships. They tend to use the Web in many aspects of their lives, including as a venue for conducting their social life. In contrast, digital visitors use the Web as a tool for achieving specific goals as needs arise. They do not develop an online identity nor participate in online culture in the same way, or to the same extent, that digital residents do.
"We are very excited about collaborating with the University of Oxford and JISC, with support from UNC Charlotte's J. Murrey Atkins Library, to learn more about beginning researchers' motivations for engagement with both the physical and online information environments," said Dr. Connaway. "This is a great opportunity to identify how educational services and systems can attract and sustain a possible new group of lifelong learners."
Commenting on his organization's decision to support this project, JISC program manager Ben Showers said: "Students and researchers are changing how they use technology at a tremendous pace, but at the moment we don't fully understand their expectations and motivations for using specific technologies and online spaces. We've funded this pilot phase of a larger study to help demystify the picture, building on previous JISC investment in this area. By looking at a group in transition—those students who are between school or college and university—we'll be able to help universities understand how their freshers [i.e., first-year students] were working when they started their courses and what the university can do to support their digital literacy during their studies. Universities can then use this information to make sure they are delivering the right digital learning resources and strategies to help retain and attract students."
"I am delighted to be working on behalf of Atkins Library, UNC Charlotte as a partner-researcher with colleagues at OCLC and Oxford University," said Dr. Lanclos. "The research we conduct among high school seniors and first-year university students will help fill a significant gap in our knowledge about how the current generation of college students approaches information."
The Web page for "Visitors and Residents: What Motivates Engagement with the Digital Information Environment?" is available at www.oclc.org/research/activities/vandr/default.htm.
JISC is a UK organization supporting the innovative use of digital technologies in UK colleges and universities. It is hoped that this pilot project will support the development of a larger longitudinal study that would examine students and scholars in different stages of the educational lifecycle. More about JISC is at www.jisc.ac.uk.
The concepts of digital residents and digital visitors used in this study are described in more detail on the TALL blog: http://tallblog.conted.ox.ac.uk/index.php/2008/07/23/not-natives-immigrants-but-visitors-residents/. Technology-Assisted Lifelong Learning (TALL) is an e-learning research and development team based at the University of Oxford's Department for Continuing Education. Established in 1996, TALL specializes in developing high quality online courses for the Higher Education sector.
UNC Charlotte is the fourth-largest institution in the University of North Carolina system. Its J. Murrey Atkins Library is the core of the university's vast research and academic initiatives, serving over 25,000 students, 930 full-time faculty and the greater Charlotte community. The library currently houses over 1.087 million volumes and approximately 47,000 unique print and electronic serial subscriptions. Research support in every subject and/or classroom area is readily available by subject specialist research librarians. More information is available at http://library.uncc.edu.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jlove19 from One of my most favorite Bebe dresses! Love it! I first ordered this dress in deep blue and blue grass, then just ordered the last XS in very berry because I love this dress! Its made extremely well. It does not ride up and the drape is a perfect length. The blue grass is exactly the same color shown in the pics, but the deep blue is really dark purple, which is a color I do not really like but I am sure I will still wear it. I am currently waiting for the very berry color dress, but I am sure I will love it because pink is so fun & chick. What I love most about this dress (style) is that I can pair it with a variety of heels and jewelry. Im thankful that I read the other reviews before ordering, because this dress does run big! I am 5'2" and 125 lbs & the XS fit perfectly! I would definitely recommend this dress for anyone & I hope Bebe comes out with more colors in this style!

Rated 5 out of 5 by islandgirl78 from Pretty.... I bought a medium, the large had too much drapery for me in the front & was low cut in the back. Cute dress for cocktail hour or club. It was not too low in the back for me in a medium so maybe go down a size. I bought the purple & now eyeing the blue grass!! I'm 5'5

Rated 4 out of 5 by lisa48122 from Might be ok if you're really tall I ordered this dress in a L & XL knowing one of the two sizes would fit me. The XL ran really big in size. The L fit me everywhere except in the back. As pictured, I could tell it was cut low in the back. But at 5'2" it was so low it wasn't decent to wear anywhere except my bedroom. lol I think if you're really tall, it might fall at an appropriate point. Otherwise, I luved the dress.

Rated 5 out of 5 by shell3862 from One of my favorite dresses! I saw this dress in the green color and right away grabbed it in my usual size (XS). The dress came and was a little loose in the back so I exchanged it for an XXS (I am 5'3 118 lbs and 34 D) It is a little short but the rest fits perfectly. Material is silky and dress is stunning! I cant wait to wear it in vegas!

Ryan Seacrest: 'Rockin' in another year on ABC
Yes, Ryan Seacrest has a New Year's resolution for 2013: improve his skill at dancing.
"There's a Significant Other in my life who's very good at it," he notes. That would be professional dancer Julianne Hough, a two-time champ on "Dancing with the Stars" in whose proximity "I feel the pressure to be as good as she is. It sounds like a joke, but this is a serious thing for me to accomplish next year."
So add dancing lessons to the long list of projects that keep Seacrest famously fast on his feet. His numerous broadcast gigs include roles on E! Entertainment and NBC, a syndicated morning radio show for Clear Channel, as well as "American Idol," whose new season starts next month on Fox. Behind the cameras, he has a swiftly expanding production empire that includes the Kardashian portfolio of reality shows.
But as Monday nears, Seacrest is focused on this annual rite: "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest," which, with related programming, will blanket ABC from 8 p.m. until past 2 a.m. EST.
Booking musical acts has been in the works for months, Seacrest says. Performers include Carly Rae Jepsen, Neon Trees, Flo Rida and Pitbull, as well as Taylor Swift, in the headliner position just before midnight.
But Friday afternoon in Manhattan, Seacrest is soon due at a production meeting "to work out the nitty-gritty of the show — some of which we will stick to, some of which we won't."
Already he has appeared on "Good Morning America," then headed to the rooftop of One Times Square, where the huge crystal ball was poised for its flashy descent, along with half-a-dozen TV teams queued up to tape interviews with him.
An hour later, at ABC 's Upper West Side headquarters, Seacrest has shed his top coat and taken a break to reflect on Monday's extravaganza. This will be his eighth New Year's Eve turn for ABC. But it's his first since Clark's death last April at age 82.
Clark, of course, originated "New Year's Rockin' Eve" four decades ago. And it is Clark on "Rockin' Eve" who gave Seacrest as a youngster his earliest memories of ringing in each new year.
"I'd like to say I can imagine how it's going to feel, but I'm not quite sure," says Seacrest. "I looked forward so much to each year that I did the show with him."
Seacrest recalls how typically he would be posted outside overlooking Times Square, while Clark, who had suffered a stroke in 2004, made brief appearances from indoors.
"Then, right after midnight, I would run inside and stand next to him, and he always has some funny, clever thing to make fun of me about," says Seacrest, unwittingly speaking in the present tense. "I think I will really miss that moment this year."
The night will begin with a two-hour tribute, "New Year's Rockin' Eve Celebrates Dick Clark," hosted by Fergie and Jenny McCarthy.
Then Seacrest takes over for the countdown show at 10 p.m. EST.

I'm (was?) a Twitter user. This past week I found it utterly weird that none of the words #wikileaks, #cablegate, #cables, #Assange were actually "trending". I even tweeted about this 5 days ago. Today, my fears of secret censorship seem to be coming true. It appears that Twitter is censoring all these words, so they don't appear in the (much-used) Twitter "trends" list. Update 1: A Twitter staffer replied to the blog post saying that their trending algorithm doesn't always result to the most popular terms. Update 2: More investigation about what might be going on.

Lace Cinched Bandeau is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pink from UNDER EVERYTHING! I got this in pink, I wish I would of got others colors, but ill look for them at others stores ;).. I love it cause I can wear it under everything!, under a summer jacket for a dressy look, or under baggy tank for a more relaxed look, I got the M/L size and its a little big on me since I'm size 32C , but it doesn't fall down so is ok, the lace is very cute so u can even wear it like a bra to look sexy at home!..;)

Rated 5 out of 5 by HollyWould from Wardrobe Staple I have this bandeau in both a cream color and hot pink. They both fit nice, are comfortable, and reasonably priced. I have had the cream colored one for about a year now and it has become a bit worn, but definitely still wearable considering the amount I've worn it (a lot!)...I would recommend this product to wear under many different style tops. I wear it with a loose-fitting top and also with very low cut shirts. This way, it creates a contrast/layering look and also is more appropriate in a workplace setting Definitely a great buy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by a fan of bebe from They are perfect! "These bras wear and look perfect to me, I just love them and get all three colors. They are beautiful and unique. I wish they have nude color."

Best Uses
Every saddle will get various stages of positive and negative reviews. I replaced the Bontrager SSR seat on my Trek FX and love this saddle. I appreciate the additional cushion the Commuter provides. My longest ride so far with this one is 40 miles and I didn't have any seat pains/issues.
Best Uses
I had and old walmart seat with the springs surrounded by rubber it was great. I bought the Bontrager Commuter beacuse it said it was light and plush, I had upgraded allot of parts on my bike and it was time for the seat. When you sit on it, its light but only sort of soft. Im not a big guy 5"8' 170p in the woods I was fine under 45min-1hr never noticed it going nutz up and down hills. 2hr lesiure ride on paved trail was very uncomfortable after 60-90min.

A lot of stuff, his father die a coward, mother running away, beloved maid is a scammer, relatives... well, Cecilia share the pain, that's before we're taking planet-wide extinction... caused by the father of the girl he loved.
The only adult he trusted is one, and she's died protecting him and his sister years ago.

In Japan, small corporations often work under one huge financial handler, called 'Group'. Group is often named after the family, common modern Ojous are hailed from such prestigious family. Such as Saki Tenjouin from Tenjouin Group in TLR canon and thereby TLR Stratos.
Which mean the group handling the I.S. fail and there's no alternative.

Honestly, that question probably taking a backseat to Kanzashi creating her own I.S. on purpose.
But probably, they're just having trouble finishing it, remember until Tabane interfere that ByakuShiki can't be rolled out on time, and by Cecilia's fight, it's still incomplete.
It's only completed in V4 during the waterpark chapter, after Second Shift, canonically two month prior to Kanzashi's introduction.

Are Soy Products Linked to Cancer Prevention?
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I read someplace that a woman trying to avoid breast cancer should have 35-60 grams of soy products per day. I bought some tofu powder (I can't abide the texture of real tofu!) and attempt to mask it in my morning oatmeal.
How many grams of tofu powder is as effective as 35-60 grams of real tofu?
Thank you.
Katrina Claghorn, RD, Section Editor of OncoLink's "Nutrition During Cancer Treatment" and "Diet and Cancer" menus, responds:
I believe that you are referring to the isoflavones which are in soy foods. The recommended intake is 30-50mg a day. These isoflavones may have many beneficial health benefits. They appear to have a protective effect against breast cancer, decrease symptoms associated with menopause as well as prevent heart disease and osteoporosis.
Isoflavones are sometimes referred to as phytoestrogens or plant estrogens.They have similar properties to human estrogen, but the are much weaker. In addition, they have a chemical shape that is very similar to human estrogen. We believe that the reason phytoestrogens may reduce the incidence of breast cancer is that they fit into the receptor site on breast tissue where estrogen usually attaches. Thus they prevent the more powerful (human) estrogen from attaching and starting the cancer-causing process.
Researchers are still investigating the mechanisms through which soy may protect against breast cancer. The current recommendation is to consume 30 to 50 mg of isoflavones daily to reduce your risk of breast cancer. The best sources of isoflavones are soy milk (30 mg/8 oz), tofu (35 mg/1/2 cup),tempeh (35-mg/1/4 cup), roasted soy nuts (60 mg/1/4 cup) and soy protein powder (approximately 60 mg/2 scoops).
Not all soy foods contain isoflavones. Soy foods made from soy protein concentrate may have little if any isoflavones,so read the ingredient label. Some doctors feel those women with estrogen positive breast cancer or who are on Tamoxifen should limit their intake of isoflavones until we have a better understanding of the effects of phytoestrogens on breast tumors.

Electronica may be turning mainstream, but there are few DJs who can fill an arena.
Kaskade is one of the exceptions. With eight studio albums (the most recent, "Atmosphere," was released this past week), the veteran DJ can easily fill a set with his own music.
With a chill, laid-back style that matches his demeanor, the 42-year-old hardly fits the party-boy stereotype. He's a Mormon and a family man, with three young daughters. We spoke to Kaskade from his home in Los Angeles.
How would you describe your sound?
It's mood music. I make a lot of very big-room, anthemic, euphoric dance music.
How do you balance the scene with your faith?
With me and my persona and my beliefs, the bigger challenge is being around for my family when I'm touring so much. … People are like, "That scene is so debaucherous. Electronic music is so crazy." I mean it is and it isn't, but it depends on who or what you're listening to..
Do you see dance music as mainstream now?
I think the very obvious stuff has crossed over. … David Guetta working with pop stars, or Calvin Harris working with Rihanna. … If people scratch below the surface, they're going to find dance music has got a lot more depth. But I don't think most of us artists will have to stand on the shoulders of multiplatinum selling artists to get noticed. … I still feel like the best is yet to come.
What did you think of what happened to Calvin Harris at LIV, where a fan harassed him about playing original music?
There are still people out there that don't understand and miss the subtlety of what is happening. … Honestly, there is only a handful of guys that do what I do, that even have the catalog that can get up and play a 2-, 2 1/2-hour show in an arena and play only their music. It's like Avicii has only a handful of songs, but when you see him on tour, he plays a couple of his tunes, and then he plays pop hits.
Do you think drug incidents, like the recent one in New York [in early September, authorities shut down New York's Electric Zoo festival after two attendees overdosed and died], take away from the original vibe of dance music?
I don't think it takes away. … With this music becoming popular, there's been sad things happening … with people just not acting responsibly. … But I think it's made a lot of promoters aware and kind of woken some kids up, like, "Oh, OK, we need to take care of each other with more education in the scene on the effects of these drugs."
What do you think of Miami's scene?
LIV has been a steady spot in Miami that I've been playing and loving for a while here. Miami has been one of the top urban markets that's been into house music for so long. … I think what's cool about Miami is people are so passionate about music, and it has such an international flavor.

Treatment to prevent blood clots must be administered at the appropriate time to prevent blood clots forming after selected surgeries. Venous thrombosis is a condition where a blood clot (thrombus) forms in a vein. This clot can limit blood flow causing swelling, redness and pain. Most commonly, clots occur in the legs, thighs, or pelvis.
If a part, or all, of the blood clot breaks off where it was formed, it can travel through the veins. If the embolus, the part that breaks off, lodges in the lung, it is called a pulmonary embolism, a serious condition that can cause death.
A number of factors can increase a patient's risk of developing blood clots, but his/her doctor can order preventative treatments called prophylaxis to reduce the risk. Prophylaxis may include blood thinning medications, elastic support stockings, or mechanical air stockings that promote circulation in the legs.
The chart above indicates the percentage of surgery patients that received treatment to prevent blood clots within 24 hours before, or after, certain surgeries.

The bad news is that I expected that on July 20th new photos from Panoramio were going to be added to Google Earth, but I was wrong. I am deeply sorry for that. The next update will be around August 15th.
The good news. The forum is finally back. Yes, it has been a too long delay, almost two months. The forum was disabled until we could update to a more secure version. It was supposed to be something very fast, but because the forum was integrated with Panoramio accounts it was not that fast. Then some other urgent issues appeared and delayed the work in the forum. In this wonderful world you know when you start something, but not when you can finish it. Anyway, now the forum is back with more forums and some changes.
As you can imagine moving to Zurich and working in a new place delays some things, but the acquisition by Google already brought some very good things:
- Now we can know the date of the next update to Google Earth in advance. Thus we can tell to you when your photos will be included in Google Earth and the status of each photo in Google Earth (selected, rejected or in waiting list). Those were the very frequent asked questions by the people and I am very happy that I can finally answer them. We have also re-written some parts of the help page.
- Now everyone can see your photos inside Google Maps. In Google Maps.com (.com only) go to "My Maps" tab, check "Photos from Panoramio" and enjoy!
- Panoramio infrastructure is more robust now. The upload system is working much better and the number of people having trouble uploading photos dropped dramatically. You can also explore the World with Panoramio's map more smoothly.
Welcome back to the forum!

Geocaching experience:
I found out about geocaching in September 2009 from crackerjakie and fell in love with it ever since. I try to hit a milestone every month and appreciate clever caches and hides. I am a little over 400 caches found and have hidden a few here and there, mostly joint hides with other cachers. Geocaching is a social sport for me and I enjoy caching with other people so you won't find me caching alone often; however, I don't seem to have a problem finding fellow cache addicts to geocache with. I try to leave a mini Tupperware treat in every cache I visit (where I can fit one anyway).
Special Skills and Abilities:
I have the uncanny ability to find a cache after everyone I am with has given up. I am also adept at finding a way to wipe out on the way to a cache regardless of terrain. I bring my sheer enthusiasm for caching to the MBGA Executive should I be elected.

Real Name:
Jacques Bourgeois

I have been a board member of the MBGA since 2007.
Special Skills and Abilities:
Because of my role as events planning, marketing and promotion at Oak Hammock Marsh, I am well connected with many media in Winnipeg and Manitoba.

I have also developed several GPS and geocaching workshops for tourism organizations and other associations.
Caching Name:
Real Name:
Mike Neale, (aka Red Shirt Brian as Dani calls me)
Geocaching experience:
Geocaching is something that I started in 2006, thanks to my Dad who introduced me. I did only one cache that year and didn't get my second cache until July 2007. The bug bit then and I haven't looked back.
Special Skills and Abilities:
I'm married with two Ice Cubes, er, kids and one bird. I currently work as an Educational Assistant for Special Needs students in grades 10, 11 and 12 at Miles MacDonell Collegiate.
I volunteer quite extensively outside of work. I have been working with Special Olympics for about 15 years. While I don't coach, I serve or chair several committees. This year, I'm the communications mission staff for Team Manitoba which will be competing in London Ontario in July.
I am also one of the television directors at Springs Church and have volunteered with the television team for 9 years. This past couple of years, I've been helping out with drama productions at Miles Mac by setting up the lighting and audio.
So what do I have to offer? Well, a bald head, a goofy smile and a red shirt and one year of experience on the MBGA Exec board.
Cache on!
Caching Name:
Real Name:
Danielle Carriere

Breaking News
A black, bisexual woman has sued her former employer -- the company run by high-end fashion designer Tory Burch -- claiming her manager and co-workers put a big fat target on her head because of her race and bisexuality.
Jessica Jones filed the lawsuit, claiming she worked at the billionaire designer's flagship store in Bev Hills from July 2011 to July 2012 -- and during that time, Jones claims she was called everything from a "disgusting" homosexual to a "n***er."
In the docs, Jones says her manager and co-workers treated her like dirt, telling customers and clients not to work with Jones because she was gay. Jones says her manager referred to Jones' girlfriend as "that thing that comes to visit her at work."
On her lunch breaks, Jones says her manager would regularly ask if Jones was getting fried chicken.
Jones claims she was eventually forced to resign because of the treatment she received.
Jones is suing Burch's company -- as well as her manager and others -- for unspecified damages.
Burch was not accused of wrongdoing herself in the the lawsuit and she is not named as a defendant.
Calls to Burch's rep were not immediately returned.

NRA's Hutchinson defends school plan
WASHINGTON - The head of the NRA's controversial bid to place armed guards in schools nationwide said the effort is serious and not simply window dressing in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shootings.
Responding to criticism that the National Rifle Association was "tone deaf" in proposing deployment of qualified volunteers in schools, former Rep. Asa Hutchinson, R-Ark., said he is solely interested in preventing repetitions of Newtown, in which a rifle-wielding gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14.
'My focus is … safety'
"I don't have to participate in the political debate," Hutchinson, a former administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration and high-ranking Department of Homeland Security official, said Friday.
"My focus is on the safety side of the issue. The political discussion can happen at a different level."
Asked why even modest gun-control proposals were not part of the NRA's proposal, Hutchinson said: "You can pass all the laws you want but you won't make schools safer. What will make a difference is better security and people there to protect children."
After the Newtown shootings Dec. 14, the 4-million-member NRA went dark for a week, declining to comment while rage over weakened firearms laws and outcries for greater gun control were cresting.
When the NRA finally convened a news conference Dec. 21, it was to announce that Hutchinson would head the organization's new National School Shield Program, the centerpiece of which was recruitment of a corps of trained former police officers and military personnel to serve as an armed presence in schools.
One of a list of ideas
In the interview, Hutchinson insisted armed volunteers in schools is one of a laundry list of ideas that he and his team will consider as it prepares a set of recommendations on best security practices for schools to consider.
"What's important to me is that we don't start into this study with a closed mind," Hutchinson said.
Another option, Hutchinson said, is arming school personnel - teachers and administrators - who are interested in firearms training.
The idea of armed volunteers and teachers has evoked much caustic criticism from gun control proponents.
"Given the number of times the most highly trained law enforcement officers hit the wrong target, it's scary to think of what a volunteer or teacher might do in a situation they've never experienced before," said Jonathan Lowy, director of the legal action project at the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.

Text description provided by the architects. The Krauss Maffeir operating facilities was built inside an industrial building that could not be structurally touched. Additionally, the design program called for enough space for exhibitions and heavy equipment maneuvering of up to 50 tons. casaPública responded by designing a freestanding two level structure that can be dismantled.

It's facade and form, as well as the selection of materials, are the strict result of function and the required program. In addition, the facility has a call center, two showrooms, training area, kitchen – eating room, a heavy equipment warehouse, a meeting room, offices for 25 people and service areas.
The corrugated aluminum panels used for the facade give privacy and security to the personnel from any possible accidents. The glass transparency separating the office area from the showroom allows permanent visual contact between management and technical tasks.

I think I will get over my fear of putting something that is not sanitized in my beer, also known as dry hoping. Do the Alpha Amino acids really prevent it from getting contaminated?Also I should start paying more attention to the hops I buy. So far all I have figured out with hops is I don't like Citra, gave my beer a fruity taste.
If Widmer's Citra blonde is any indication, I'm not a fan either. Reeks of juniper and cat scratch in my opinion

In New York City, Dukes would be Queens, but in Liberty City, Dukes is Dukes, one of the first two boroughs you're able to access in the game. Just like its real life counterpart, Dukes is attached to Broker (Brooklyn) making them the only two boroughs attached by land, though one major piece to the geographic puzzle is missing in GTAIV—Long Island attached to the associated boroughs on the east. Regardless of that rather large hole, there's a lot of consistency in how Dukes is presented. Just like its real life counterpart, Dukes is a mixture of suburbia and a more urban element, and there's lots to see and do.
Dukes features two hospitals, two police stations and a firehouse, but perhaps its most important feature is the Francis International Airport, which dominates the eastern segment of the island Dukes shares with Broker. Dukes Boulevard, which is the biggest road in the borough, provides massive straight-aways and is a major artery of the borough, allowing you to get virtually anywhere. As it travels north to south and east to west, it also surrounds the major environmentally sound haven in Dukes, Meadows Park. Meadows Park doesn't only have a whole lot of grass. It also holds two tourist traps—the Monoglobe (a shout out to the real life Unisphere) and the Liberty State Pavilion Towers.
As for entertainment and leisure, Dukes has plenty to do. You can play darts and get drunk at the Steinway Beer Garden off of Yorktown Avenue on the western side of the borough, while you can satiate your hunger at both a Cluckin' Bell and a Burger Shot. Dukes plays an extremely important role early in the game, since you can only explore Broker and Dukes initially. It also serves as a major conduit between Broker and Bohan, and has three bridges stemming off of it leading to Colony Island and Charge Island (which both end up in Algonquin), as well as the Dukes Bay Bridge, which leads to Bohan. It's a sort of central connection between several boroughs in Liberty City and you will find yourself traversing it often in the game's early going.

|Str or Array of String. Defaults to all_tables.
Please note that if you manually describe your sets as in the above example, you dont automatically get the all_tables set, which is a fixture set of all database information and not all the sets.
We automatically create the all_tables fixture set description file for you when you prepare a new migration of the schema. You can use this set for early testing but I recommend you study DBIx::Class::Fixtures and learn the set configuration rules, and create limited fixture sets for given purposes, rather than just dump / populate everything, since that is like to get big pretty fast
My recommendation is to create a core seed set, of default database values, such as role types, default users, lists of countries, etc. and then create a demo or dev set that contains extra information useful to populate a database so that you can run test cases and develop against.

Family seeks video of BISD beating
The family of a 12-year-old boy who was assaulted by an educator at Beaumont Independent School District's Smith Middle School has asked the court to allow for the release of video of the incident and for formal depositions to be taken of BISD officials in the quest for answers as to whether district administrators were involved in a cover-up to protect the child's assailant.
Adrianne Wells, the mother of the victim, was in Judge Donald Floyd's District Courtroom with her family Wednesday, Dec. 18, represented by attorney Kevin Laine.
"We can determine (from the video and depositions) if there is a common practice … of a conscious indifference among BISD administration," Laine argued before Floyd's bench.
Houston attorney Chris Gilbert argued on behalf of BISD, accompanied by school district attorney Melody Chappell.
"Our immunity is high enough … to avoid needing administrators to take depositions," Gilbert said. "We are of the position that the parent has a right to see the video – they do not have a right to a copy of the video."
Floyd ruled against BISD's argument, allowing for the release of the video to the Wells family and for depositions to be taken of key BISD officials.
Among those on Laine's list to answer questions are Superintendent Timothy Chargois, Assistant Superintendent for Secondary Administration Patricia Lambert, and Smith Middle School Principal Wilbert Andrews.
"We want to know why there were efforts on that day (of the assault) by the principal to sweep this under the rug," Laine said. "After the assault, there was this cover-up and we want to know who all was involved."
Wells' 12-year-old son suffered injuries Friday, Oct. 29, when, according to the complaining victim, the youth was punched multiple times in the face and chest by BISD Smith Middle School math tutor Michael Fisher. Instead of calling the police to arrest the adult abuser, Fisher was allowed to go home and has not since been arrested for his actions.
"If it was you or me who punched a child in the face and flung him across a room in front of witnesses, you can bet we'd be in jail by now," Wells said following the traumatic event. "I can't understand why (Fisher) wasn't arrested on the spot instead of just sent on his merry little way."

The host city of the 2008 Summer Olympics, Beijing is China's second largest city and home to 17 million people. Center of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the city's history goes back centuries, and present-day Beijing is a seamless fusion of the ancient and modern. Guests staying at Beijing hotels can explore the Great Wall of China, shop designer-label stores and dance the night away at lively clubs, all in the same trip.
Beijing is a city of landmarks, not the least of which is famous Tiananmen Square, the world's largest public plaza. In the square itself, visitors will find the Monument to the Peoples Heroes and the mausoleum of Mao Zedong. Also located within the walls of the square, the intriguing Forbidden City (off limits to the public for over 500 years) is an ancient palace that provides a glimpse into China's imperial past. Our Beijing hotel guests will also enjoy a visit to the serene Temple of Heaven - a 15th-century temple used by Ming and Qing emperors to perform sacrifices on the winter solstice.
Visitors can also enjoy shopping in the upscale Wangfujing district, followed by a traditional meal on Ghost Street before returning to their hotel accommodations. Besides traditional dining influenced by China's diverse culinary types, Beijing neighborhoods feature restaurants that bring in flare from across Asia and the world.

I pick on the 'fly as you say and its crap because im used to the routine. I need it back lol. Back to top AffectedmemberMember #Joined: 22 Oct 1999Posts: 1854Location: Helsinki, Finland Posted: Sun Dec 21, 2008 2:09 am I'm not entirely sure what you mean here... But a while back I found my eyedropper didn't seem to do anything, and it was because it was changing the background colour, not the foreground colour that you paint with. I'll save you the google search and paste in the solution I found: "There's a menu on the right in Photoshop CS, it's labeled "Color" (F6 brings it up) it has two boxes of color that show the current foreground and background colors. One will have a black outline around the color box and the other will have a slightly lighter gray box around it. For some reason these outlines are almost indistinguishable from each other, thin, and hard to see... but they control which box is active. You want to click on the edge of the one in front (the foreground color) to change the current tool default to that box. " Hopefully that's what your problem was. Back to top mattyukmemberMember #Joined: 23 Sep 2007Posts: 392Location: Cumbria, UK Posted: Sun Dec 21, 2008 11:11 am It helped a bit I suppose, meanng it picks up some colour. But whenever I eyedrop a black, it just doesnt do anything. It seems when I choose a dark colour it goes lighter. How do I reset everything? I dont wanna reinstall because I dont have the software anymore installed. Back to top AffectedmemberMember #Joined: 22 Oct 1999Posts: 1854Location: Helsinki, Finland Posted: Sun Dec 21, 2008 2:15 pm So wait, is it that the colour in the colour palette doesn't change when you use the eyedropper, or that when you paint after picking a colour, nothing happens with dark colours? If it's the latter, then you probably have some funny blendmode selected for the paint tool, you should be able to change that to "normal" in the tool settings. Back to top mattyukmemberMember #Joined: 23 Sep 2007Posts: 392Location: Cumbria, UK Posted: Mon Dec 22, 2008 11:50 am thankyou very much! i just reset the tool presets and its back!! thanks again. Back to top canvasdezignjunior memberMember #Joined: 19 Jan 2009Posts: 10 Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2009 2:57 am if you want to color pick just select colorpick tool from tool pallete in tool pallete u will find paint bucket option with color pik tool. just select it & click on the object where u want to pick the color. all the best._________________(no spam) Back to top sketchlingjunior memberMember #Joined: 02 Mar 2004Posts: 9Location: Sydney, Australia Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2009 9:46 pm you can also set the colour picker to pick the value of a single pixel or the area around the pixel to a set radius. get the eye-dropper and right click if you want to try this out. Otherwise you are probably picking a colour from what you see and painting further down the layer stack under some adjustment layers... I think there is an option with the eye dropper to actually choose between all layers and just the one you are on... but I think it only comes in in CS4. Hope that helps.

Grizzly Football Names Second New Assistant Coach In Two Days [AUDIO]
University of Montana head football coach Mick Delaney on Thursday named the second new assistant coach in two days, Michael "Torrey Myers", who will coach wide receivers.

The xx hasn't released a new album since "Coexist" in 2012, but the British electro-soul trio is having something of a moment nonetheless.
For starters, the group is in New York nearing the end of a run of unique shows at the Park Avenue Armory in which it's playing nightly to audiences of approximately 40 people -- a different vibe, needless to say, than the xx's main-stage performances last year at Coachella.
And then there's the new Coldplay single, "

Jillsville Bold Font by Typodermic
About: Jillsville is a sweet, delicate font with a fine lines and feminine overtones. She's light and lithe, but "she ain't no wallflower." Reminiscent of a typewriter font, but proportionally spaced, Jillsville is ideal for oversized headlines and photographic overlays where a heavier font would look obese.

CRESTVIEW � Some of them may not move as fast as they once did, and some may forget things now and then, but when the first Thursday of the month rolls around, 30 or more Duke Field Air Reserve Technicians, or ART, veterans make a beeline for breakfast.
CRESTVIEW � Some of them may not move as fast as they once did, and some may forget things now and then, but when the first Thursday of the month rolls around, 30 or more Duke Field Air Reserve Technicians, or ART, veterans make a beeline for breakfast.
Uncle Bill's Family Restaurant, which doesn't normally open for breakfast, is soon abuzz as old friends catch up over coffee, eggs, grits, sausage and French toast. There are backslaps and guffaws as a favorite joke is recited � again � and expressions of concern over pals who are absent or sick.
"Everybody catches up, tells war stories and lies a little," six-year Army and 28-year ART vet Russ Chamberlain says.
Breakfast with patriots
The monthly breakfast gatherings started in 1984, just a couple years after Carl Gay, Clyde Spencer and Ronnie Adams retired from Duke Field.
"We'd meet at Hardee's, just the three of us," Gay says. "We'd have a good talk and coffee and say, 'See you in a month.'�
More veterans learned about the gatherings and joined them; eventually, they moved the breakfasts to a bigger place.
"We enjoy having them," restaurant owner Bill White says. �We give them a little discount and they have a good time. (Server) Sheila (Kurpil) takes good care of them."
Still, it�s first come, first served, as 26-year ART veteran Mary Alberts learns when she plunks her plate down on a table she shares with Chamberlain and Conrad Rhoads.
"You men got all the eggs!" she laments.
"You should've gotten your food instead of yakking to everybody," Rhoads says.
Sharing memories
Some of the vets served in the Vietnam War, some served in Desert Storm, and veterans of other conflicts are in the mix.
"I missed Vietnam. I went to Germany and got drunk and chased women instead," Chamberlain says straight-faced as Rhoads and Alberts laughed.
"He doesn't let the truth get in the way of a good story," Rich Tyler interjects, teasing his friend.
"In '89, we went down to Panama and overthrew Noriega," Chamberlain continues, barely missing a beat. "We were called back to active duty for Desert Storm and then again after 9/11."
Korean War veteran Bob Mury, now in his 80s, is one of the group's oldest members. He retired in 1988 or '89 � "I don't remember exactly when, to tell you the truth," he says.
But when it comes to recalling his basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Mury remembers the details: It was cold that winter. An overflow of inductees into the fledgling U.S. Air Force caused a barracks shortage.
"They had a bunch of people there," Mury said. "Some died. They were living in tents. We had some boys come down from New York. They didn't think it got cold in Texas."
All are welcome
The ARTs began gathering in the Crestview area soon after former Congressman Bob Sikes secured funding to establish an Air Force Reserve unit at Duke Field in the 1970s. The group first worked on the AC-130 "Spectre" gunship.
After 20 years, "we went from the gunships to the combat (T-38) Talon," Chamberlain says.
Their bonds are strong, but it doesn�t matter if breakfast attendees are not ART vets, or even Air Force.
"We don't stop people coming in the door. We're open to everybody," Chamberlain says. "But we're always glad to see Air Force veterans."
"Or Army or Navy," Rhoads says.
"Yeah, we don't throw them out the door," Chamberlain says.
Want to go?
Retired Duke Field Air Reserve Technicians gather for a monthly breakfast between 7 and 10 a.m. every first Thursday at Uncle Bill's Family Restaurant, 252 S. Ferdon Blvd. The breakfast buffet is $7.95, or $6.95 for vets on motorcycles. All military veterans are welcome.
