The Hornets and Wizards agreed to a major trade Thursday that sends Trevor Ariza and Emeka Okafor to Washington for Rashard Lewis and the No. 46 pick in next week's draft.
Lewis has one year and $22 million remaining on the blockbuster contract he signed with the Orlando Magic in 2007. He turns 33 in August and has played 13 NBA seasons since entering the NBA as a high school player in 1998.
Ariza, a small forward who played well in a supporting role with the Lakers and emerged in the 2009 playoffs, didn't become a star after signing as a free agent with the Rockets in July 2009. But he is just 26, has two years and just under $15 million remaining on his contract and fills a need for the Wizards.
Okafor, the former No. 1 overall pick, has two years, $28 million left on his current deal. He averaged 9.9 points and 7.9 rebounds last season with the Hornets but played in just 27 games.

Most of the problems encountered in implementing CRM aren't about technology. They're about people and, to a lesser extent, non-technical choices.
Technology is important, of course, and brings its own set of problems, but for the most part, those problems are well-understood. The things that trip up CRM implementations more often are people problems or problems of the interaction of technology and people.
Here are some examples of non-technical problems and their solutions.
Do your research
There are a lot of CRM systems out there aimed at all sizes and types of companies. In order to be successful, you need to choose a system that meets your company's needs.
The only way to do this is to figure out what you need first and then research the market to find CRM systems that meet your needs.
This starts with an analysis of what your company's strengths and weaknesses are, and most importantly, where you need to improve. From there, you can develop a set of goals for your CRM project. Make sure those goals are concrete, measurable, and quantifiable.Once you've got that information in hand you can start looking for a CRM system that meets your needs.
Be prepared to spend time on this all-important step and don't be distracted by clever presentations. Underneath it all, the system has to be a good fit for your needs.
Simplicity is good
Although a modern CRM system can be tremendously complicated, there is no reason to inflict that complexity on the users most of the time.
Most vendors work very hard to hide that innate complexity from the user and they succeed to various degrees. However, a lot of CRM programs present the user with unnecessarily complex user interfaces that confuse and frustrate users, especially new users.
When picking CRM software, look for programs that are easy to understand and easy to use. Dashboards and reports in particular need to be understandable at a glance.
This is particularly true of CRM because one of the jobs going to a CRM system is to wean the users away from the old Rolodex-and-Post-It-Notes system most users are using now. If you make things hard or frustrating for the users it will take that much more effort to convert your people to the new tools.
Use the carrot before the stick
The way to convince the users to adopt your CRM system is to entice them into it. Convince them of the benefits to them of CRM and most of them will readily make the change.
In essence this takes a combination of proper training and old-fashioned salesmanship. You cannot assume that just because you build it they will come.
Training is extremely important, both in the classroom and hands-on. You should also have help available immediately to deal with problems.
Beyond training, you need to build enthusiasm for the new system. That's where the salesmanship comes. Emphasize the advantages of the new system and play up successes as they happen.
Roll out gradually
Theoretically you can go live with your new CRM system in one big bang, but this is a lousy ideal. Not only is introducing any new system all at once likely to result in problems, resulting in a big fizzle rather than a big bang, with CRM the big bang is likely to produce so many problems that users will be turned off on the new system and it will be harder to get them to use the system once the initial bugs are worked out.
The maxim "go for the low-hanging fruit" applies with special force in rolling out a CRM system. Start with the parts of the system which will be easy to use and will make your sales force more efficient. Then gradually introduce other functions.
Make the executives use it
Make sure your managers and executives use the system. Not only will problems get reported and fixed much sooner, but it will give the troops confidence in the new application.

Race Leads to Injuring 10 NASCAR Fans by a Falling Cable
Racing has been that sports that has been able to attract a lot of people. In most of the cases it has been seen that the gallery is full with people. The people shout a lot to cheer up for their favorite racing stars. Accidents at such a place are something that is really unwanted and rare in nature. But mishaps never see situation, time or place before coming. A similar accident happened during the NASCAR race. The race was taking place at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Suddenly a TV camera that was mounted in one of the grandstands feels on the surface of the track. The issue happened during the race. As a result the people were distracted and mood of the people was fully disturbed.
The accident in detail
Each and everyone was busy enjoying the race when the TV camera suddenly fell. This not only spoiled the spirit of enjoyment but also the people were terrified a lot. Three people were so heavily injured that they were admitted in the hospital. Ten other people were also injured. The overhead cameras that are installed at the race course to capture various moments are dependent on three ropes. Two ropes are found on the sides and they help in keeping the camera in place. The third rope is used as the drive rope. The incident took place when there a fault occurred in the drive rope and the camera fell on the track. Below are some after effects of the accident.
The whole place became chaotic and the indiscipline continued for over half an hour.
At last everything was cleared away and managed by the crew members.
The participants were also given some time to get their cars repaired.
Investigation is going on and the truth behind the incident will come out soon.

Welcome back followers of the fearsome!
Since Jesse's still a bit hung over from his birthday party last night, I (Nick) will be typing this weeks dev-blog. It'll be programmer talk, but since Jesse can draw the turtle with his eyes closed now, he did manage to spruce up this post with an awesome turtle drawing.
I'll be talking about loading screens. There are many games on iOS that have long loading screens, and every time I see them I wonder why. Some people I've met at the Full Indie meetup have told me that the iPhone is very slow to load data from. In my experience this couldn't be further from the truth. It's one of the fastest loading devices I've ever worked with! So, in order to possibly help out a few fellow developers remove those long-ass loading screens, I'll give you some information on how I load data into our game. Note that this information is totally useless if you use Unity, but if you have your own engine (yea! rock on!), this info could make things a lot easier and faster!
There are different ways to load data from a disk. The most common method is to fopen a file on disk, and use fread to get the data from it. On consoles with DVD drives a common trick to speed up loading is to compress the data on the disk, and unpack it at load time in a separate thread. When loading compressed data, you often end up with a memory buffer to load the compressed data into, and another memory buffer to unpack the data to, and then possibly another memory buffer to store the data after you've loaded it. (The last step depends on if you load in place and fix up pointers, another common trick, but that's for another time). In my experience, allocating extra memory, or using extra CPU to load the data is quite undesirable on mobile devices. I tried using our console engine approach of loading and unzipping data, but it was extremely slow. Then I read a post by Carmack (which I can't seem to find in my bookmarks.. argh) about how he uses a function called mmap in Rage for iOS. You should learn everything you can about this function as soon as possible. Here's a wiki page to get you started: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mmap
So what does mmap do? mmap can map an entire file into a virtual memory address. It doesn't load any data, it just reserves a memory address that you can access, at which point it will load the data on demand. So all you do is access the data through a pointer and data will get loaded behind the scenes (without having to go outside the kernel, speeding up thing considerably!). The trick is that no memory is actually allocated for this, except for possibly a bit of cache memory. Doesn't that sound pretty weird and magical? That's because it is.
So how do we use this in Shellrazer? We pack all of our data files (thousands of them) into one large archive file at compile time. The archive file is nothing other than a list of file-names with their offsets in the archive, and the data for each file. All the data is uncompressed so that I don't need to uncompress data when I want to access it. (By the way, if your game is a gigabyte in size, this may not be desirable for your users, but that's another story) When I need to get some data from a file, I simply look in the list of files, get the offset inside the archive, and return a pointer to the mmapped archive plus the offset. Then I can just start using the pointer and read from it as if you're reading from any memory location. If I have texture data I just pass this pointer straight to OpenGL, so it can do it's thing to load the texture. It's super easy to use, it works all the time, and it's crazy fast.
In fact, when I first put this method in, I was shocked at how fast it was. According to a few tests I did I was streaming in data at a rate of 300Mb per second. The data in our game loaded so fast that the loading screen I added was barely visible. In fact, I had to make the loading screen stay on screen artificially for at least 0.3 seconds, otherwise it looked like a bug.
After these tests I altered the way our game handles data. I keep a few things in memory at all times, such as the main font bitmap, and a few other commonly used bitmaps. Everything else gets swapped in and out of memory, depending on the currently active UI-screen. When the game switches to a new UI screen, the old screen first transitions to our little loading indicator for about 0.2 seconds, then all the data gets flushed from memory, all the required data for the new screen gets loaded into memory, and the new screen transitions in for about 0.2 seconds. If you take a look at Shellrazer, every time you see a black screen with a little white rotating icon in the bottom right, that's our loading screen, and in almost all of those cases, over 30Mb of data is loaded between two screens, plus it has about 0.4 seconds of artificial delay. Also, when our game goes into the background, I flush out all of the resources we use, and we reload these when the app goes to the foreground again, all of which takes less than half a second. Pretty speedy!
Now, as for application size, Apple has the 50Mb restriction on downloadable over 3G vs Wifi. Our archive file is 60Mb though. Well, the good news is that all data files get compressed by the Apple installer, so our download size for Shellrazer is only 31Mb. Problem solved. :)
Alright, I think that's all I have to say about how to speed up your loading times. I probably missed a bunch of things, so if you have any questions about this stuff, I'll be happy to help out!
tl;dr: use mmap to load, it's awesome.
I almost can't believe it: Slick Entertainment is a decade old! In the last 10 years we've made a bunch of great games, and I am super proud of what we've achieved with our small team: 4 fun games, custom C++ engine on 6 different platforms, 3 games feature online multiplayer, all hand-drawn art for […]

Diagonalizing a Matrix
Date: 04/12/2001 at 02:14:11 From: john cholewa Subject: Regarding a class of linear algebra problem. Hi Dr. Math - In Herstein's _Topics in Algebra_ there is a problem in section 6.10 on page 349 stating that: If Q is a real symmetric matrix satisfying Q^k = I for some integer k >= 1, prove that Q^2 = I. Also in an online problem archive there is a problem stating: If A is a 2x2 matrix with integer entries, and A^k = I for some k >= 1, then A^12 = I. The obvious thing that jumps to mind is that the Det() of the matrix is +-1, and its invertible. With A^(k-1) = A^(-1). However, to go any farther I need something on the other direction of the Caley-Hamilton to force something, like if one knows TQT^(-1) = I for some T, then it's the unique diagonalizing matrix for Q. (Actually looking for a generalized theorem that given a certain condition on A [normal?], and A^k = I for some k >= 1, then A^(n) = I for some n.) Hope you can help me here. Thanks.
Date: 04/12/2001 at 13:16:38 From: Doctor Rob Subject: Re: Regarding a class of linear algebra problem. Thanks for writing to Ask Dr. Math, John. Any real symmetric matrix can be diagonalized. If Q is that matrix, there is a real orthogonal matrix P such that P'*Q*P = D where D is diagonal and P' means the transpose of P, and P*P' = P'*P = I. Then Q = P*D*P'. Now taking the kth power, I = Q^k = P*D^k*P', I = P'*I*P = D^k. Since D is diagonal and real, that means all the diagonal entries of D must satisfy d^k = 1, so each must be 1 or -1. That implies that d^2 = 1, and so D^2 = I, and so Q^2 = I. Two-by-two integer matrices are a different story. Usually they cannot be diagonalized. On the other hand, they do satisfy quadratic characteristic equations, by the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem. Thus there are integers a and b such that a = trace(Q), b = det(Q), Q^2 - a*Q + b*I = 0. On the other hand, you know that Q^k = I for some k, so det(Q^k) = det(Q)^k = 1, det(Q) = 1 or -1. Thus b = 1 or -1. The task at hand is to show that the only possibilities for the minimal polynomial of Q are x - 1, x + 1, x^2 - 1, x^2 + 1, x^2 - x + 1, x^2 + x + 1, and all of these are divisors of x^12 - 1. That I leave to you. - Doctor Rob, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

i love these type of ufo's , i belive its a tri formation with a scout wich i have observed alot of from all over the world the only odd thing is there seems to be an extra scout ,or even possibly 1 scout and an extra primary ship making it a quad formation(new to me)-to witness these in person would be a miracle- i belive these craft or ones like them are trying to help a select few that observe them and are capable of understanding, aware (or reminded) that our existence is more than the average person is aware of-we are not alone and we are all part of somthing greater than you can imagine- i almost feel crazy to say this but when i witnessed a tri form a short while ago it changed my life ,i always been a hardcore facts/evedence type person but when seen for myself somthing that was not from this planet or could be explained ,somthing in me knew what it was at the same time its hard to explain- i felt a conection ,an energy i cant explain ,somthing in me turned on - shortly after that i found ac and i dont feel so crazy anymore - i wish more people could witness these , my positive energy is going supernova and my inner awareness is becoming sharper every day - and my thirst for information is like never before
---the world needs your positive energy poject it---
very nice video...
I wonder what they are doing. Surveillance or just showing off. I have heard that they are preparing the human consciousness for their landing. Cool video!

text: hi folks. it seems pretty easy to port XF3 servers to XF4. i ported Xmacppc and the biggest problem was dealing with the fact that in XF4 much of the Xserver is built with more options.. this won't be the case for most platforms remaining. i've also got Xmacppc building in src/x11/Xserver (cross)... the steps i recommend are: - copy the XF3 xc/programs/Xserver/hw/netbsd/<foo> directory to the XF4 tree. - find the relevant parts of xc/prgrams/Xserver/Imakefile for this Xserver (most platforms should have a single patch that can be moved across) and apply it to the XF4 tree. - find the relevant "XfooServer" part of xc/config/cf/NetBSD.cf and apply those to the XF4 tree. - you probably need to add the "DDXDIR" for this platform to the "DDXDIRS" variable at the bottom (for Xmacppc, i renamed the variable from "DDXDIR1" to "MACPPCDDXDIR".) - try a build.. this is where i got massive link failures... hopefully these are the parts i meantioned above won't happen for the rest of the hw/netbsd servers. after a bit of lossage trying to make it work natively, and my mac hanging, i added support for hw/netbsd/macppc and Xserver/Xmacppc to src/x11/Xserver and made it build there first. i later got it working natively as well. some quick background about how Xserver builds, and some of my tips on making it suck less when doing it: - the toplevel programs/Xserver/Imakefile contains the segments to link all the Xservers that are supported. - all of the objects and libraries used are built in subdirs (or some are linked from lib/*) - when changing the "hw/netbsd/foo/Imakefile", you can just run "make Makefiles" in programs/Xserver directly. [*] - when changing the programs/Xserver/Imakefile, you need to run "make Makefiles" in programs. [*] - it actually took me much less time to make it build with the reach-over src/x11 framework than native, but this is probably not going to be common. - individual Xserver programs are built in their own subdir in src/x11/Xserver/Xserver, unlike native builds. [*] you can of course call imake directly, but figuring out the options has never been a fun thing for me. it may be useful on slow machines however. we need people to look at porting these hw/netbsd servers: alpha amiga arm32vidc dec dreamcast hpc mac68k pmax vax x68k though i'm told there is some colour mac68k server that isn't part of the above... .mrg.

The New York Racing Authority Association just released its statement in response to today's subpoenas from Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, suggesting that NYRA is unlikely to accede to his office's demands and responding with equally strong language:
NYRA operates without a single penny of taxpayer subsidy. The revenue NYRA received as a result of the franchise renewal in 2008 was consideration paid to NYRA by the State in exchange for over one billion dollars worth of real estate. The franchise renewal was not a "bailout" of NYRA. Moreover, the State agreed in the Franchise Agreement that NYRA would need additional revenue if VLTs failed to be operational by April of 2009. NYRA's current financial situation is not a surprise to anyone in state government who is familiar with the NYRA franchise agreements.
As the holder of the State thoroughbred racing franchise, NYRA is one of the most pervasively regulated private companies operating in New York State. As a not-for-profit, NYRA is overseen by the State Attorney General. As a racing association, NYRA is overseen by the State Racing and Wagering Board. As a State franchisee, NYRA is overseen by the State Franchise Oversight Board. As a generator of tens of millions of dollars in pari-mutuel taxes for the State, NYRA is overseen by the State Department of Taxation and Finance. Both the Racing and Wagering Board and the Department of Taxation and Finance maintain fully staffed offices at each NYRA racetrack. NYRA cooperates fully with those State agencies that have actual legal authority to regulate and audit its operations. The State appoints 11 of NYRA's 25 directors, who oversee and approve NYRA's annual budgets. Any suggestion that the taxpayers are placed at risk by the constitutional prohibition on comptroller audits of NYRA is misleading.
NYRA informed the State legislature at the time the NYRA franchise law was drafted that the State Constitution prohibits the Comptroller from auditing not-for-profit associations, as the State's highest court has clearly ruled. The law is clear. If NYRA and the Comptroller cannot agree amicably on the clear meaning of the Court of Appeals decision, we should agree to immediately seek a declaratory judgment from the judiciary to quickly resolve this matter.

Oi, EMC users! HALVE your weight with this WEIRD OLD TIP
Storage vendor tries to lure VNX users to HP30I
Posted in Storage, 6th May 2014 11:02 GMT
HP has released a product to import data from ENC VNX and CLARiiON CX4 arrays into its 3PAR storage, allowing customers to move to Meg W's StoreServ arrays – and, at least according to HP, dealing with storage obesity en route.
It's called HP 3PAR Online Import (HP3OI?) and HP claims it allows users to perform self-directed platform migrations.
HP claims there's no need for resource-intensive planning, change management and data migration. Instead users can do it themselves, with any StoreServ 7000 series, 10000 series and all-flash 7450 being grateful recipients for the EMC-stored data. Indeed, HP goes further and says "data migration with 3PAR Online Import is less disruptive to applications and can performed faster than other methods".
VNX2, or earlier VNX arrays, need an OS upgrade and full data migration as part of a move to VNX4 arrays, the vendor claims.
HP states: "Replacing EMC VNX and CLARiiON CX4 arrays with VNX2 requires 40 per cent to 80 per cent more commands than upgrading to HP 3PAR StoreServ, and involves either data migration tools that consume host resources and impact application performance or necessitates the use of costly additional hardware appliances."
Storage obesity treatment?
According to HP, the import software "leverages the HP 3PAR Gen4 ASIC to drive efficient, inline, fat-to-thin conversion that takes fully provisioned (or fat) volumes from a legacy storage system and uses zero-block deduplication technology to convert them into thin-provisioned volumes on HP 3PAR StoreServ. It is this built-in fat-to-thin conversion capability that enables HP to offer a 50 per cent capacity savings guarantee to EMC customers as part of the Get Thin Guarantee program(me)."
HP SVP and Storage general manager David Scott came up with a pithy quote: "We're removing the data migration roadblock to enable affordable tier-1 storage for trapped EMC customers."
The import software is available at no charge to 3PAR StoreServ customers for 180 days, with the HP 3PAR OS Suite, version 3.1.2 MU2 and later.
Barry Ader, product marketing VP in EMC's Enterprise and Midrange Systems Division, said: "We (strongly) urge customers to read the fine print and carefully evaluate the claims of so-called 'online migration capabilities'. There are a lot of complexities and variables related to OS, hypervisor and application support. Marketing is easy; it's the execution and fine print that matters." ®

Don't know what to doVisitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Male
There is this girl. I have liked her for almost 3 years. Most of that time she had a boyfreind. She was still one of my best freinds for that time. Her boyfreind treated her real bad and cheated on her a few times and no one liked him but her. She broke up with the guy she was with about 4 months ago. Although I wanted to tell her how I felt I didn't because I would be graduating and heading off to a college about 3 hours away and she is a year younger than me and would be at home. I just felt it wouldn't have been fair to her. So I hadn't said anything.
Time went by and she and I are still close and she has started to flirt more than before and she kept telling me how she was going to miss me and how she didn't know what she would do next year without me. So I was thinking about telling her how I felt before I left. So after my graduation we where both at a party. I got real drunk and so did she. We started to talk and some how I ended up telling her that I loved her. Then she said something, which I thought ment she didn't believe me, I'm not sure exactly what was said, but I went aroud telling people how I felt about her. Then later that night I sent her a text, I don't remember all that it said but it more or less confirmed what I had told her before, but I miss spelled my name. I called her but she didn't answer, this could just be because it was 3 a.m. and she was a sleep or maybe she didn't want to talk to me. Then I sent another one later that night that said that I loved her and I really ment all that I said and got the name right.
My problem is that I haven't talked to her since, it has only been a few days but I'm feeling kind of anxious. I'm not sure if I should call her or maybe go to see her at work and talk to her, or wait and see if she talks to me about it first. I'm not sure if she remembers it or not, so I really don't know what to do. I do know that that was not how I wanted to tell her.
RomanceClass.com Advice
You have to get to her and fast.
You two need to talk this out and find out where you stand.
She is probably as anxious as you are about all of this.
Make sure she understands that you meant what you said at the party.
Good luck! George

Xavier University Receives Grants for Health Services Administration Graduate Program
February 2, 2012
Xavier University has received $54k for six scholarships over three years beginning in fall 2012 to students in the graduate program in Health Services Administration (GPHSA).
Xavier's GPHSA was established in 1958 as a graduate program in Hospital Administration to provide professional training and education to current and future hospital administrators. Although the healthcare field has changed dramatically over the last 50 years, the renamed program in Health Services Administration has maintained its reputation for academic excellence. Since 2008, Xavier's program has been cited twice as the country's top program in Modern Healthcare's "Top Business Graduate Schools for Physicians." The program has been accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME) every year since 1968, when accreditation began.
The program enrolls a cohort of 24-30 students each year. Upon successful completion of the 64 credit hours of program coursework and the administrative residency or practicum, students area awarded a master of health services administration degree (MHSA). More than 1,400 alumni of the GPHSA now serve in leadership positions in a variety of health care settings including hospitals, group practices, consulting firms, VA health systems and long-term care facilities around the United States and in several foreign countries.
It is important that Xavier provide significant scholarship dollars to attract the highest caliber students to the GPHSA. Federal traineeship dollars, once available to support health services administration students, were eliminated in previous Congressional cuts. The Albers Foundation grant will provide two $9,000 scholarships each year for three years beginning in the fall of 2012. These will be awarded to incoming students who demonstrate high potential for success in the program and in health care administration careers.
By providing additional scholarship funding, Xavier's GPHSA will enable more of the top students to be able to afford this top-ranked program. This will increase the program's ability to compete with other prestigious schools and maintain its outstanding reputation nationally among educators in health care administration.

As a public employee my pay was public information available to any taxpayer who asked. A practice that continues to this day not only for state workers like myself but also for public school teachers, police and fire employees, librarians, etc. all the way down to the local level. If is absurd that the top officers of a publicly held corporation should be able to keep their pay/compensation secret from shareholders. They absolutely have a responsibility to share that information with those whose investment makes their job possible.

Well, just as we speculated over the weekend, the iPhone 3GS is already having an impact on YouTube uploads.
YouTube said today that mobile uploads are up 400 percent since Friday, when the 3GS went on sale. This is part of a larger 1700 percent increase over the last six months, which YouTube said is fueled by, "new video-enabled phones on the market, improvements to the upload flow when you post a video to YouTube from your phone, and a new feature on YouTube that allows your videos to be quickly and effortlessly shared through your social networks."
So mobile uploads are going through the roof, but the appearance of the iPhone 3GS, with its new video camera, is just throwing more fuel on the fire. That's not quite surprising. The ability to do a quick upload to YouTube from your iPhone film reel makes it extremely easy to get videos up on the Web.
Some have speculated whether this is a bad thing for YouTube and parent Google. All these videos are very hard to place advertising against and they only add to Google's storage costs.
I talked to a YouTube spokesman last week who downplayed those concerns and said the more videos, the better for YouTube. I'm not sure a whole bunch more dog and kitten videos is necessarily a good thing but that's where we're headed.

Paul Hastings Janofsky & Walker has appointed its corporate vice-chairman Ronan O'Sullivan as managing partner of its London office.
The US firm announced the appointment following the decision by current London head Phil Feder to return to his hometown of Los Angeles.
O'Sullivan told The Lawyer: "I'm excited at the prospect of leading the London office. The continued growth of our practice and platform in London is a pivotal piece of our global strategy and I'm looking forward to spearheading the efforts, in particular as we actively build our corporate offering."
O'Sullivan joined Paul Hastings from Herbert Smith six years ago and became a partner in 2006. His new appointment is effective immediately.
Feder has been London head for almost three years and will relocate to Paul Hastings' California office in July. He will use the interim few months as a transition period alongside O'Sullivan, and will continue as global chairman of the firm's real estate practice.
The firm's London office recently hired Morrison & Foerster counsel Suzanne Horne as head of UK employment, and is rebuilding following the defection of its City employment team to Covington & Burling last year.
Feder's departure from London comes at the end of a turbulent period, with a number of partner exits (The Lawyer, 14 February 2011).

"I'm here to support our conservative council and talk really about the economic regeneration in a city and regeneration surrounding a huge sporting event and the benefits it brings.
"Gloucester Rugby and Gloucester as a city has done unbelievably well at getting the most number of games for the Rugby World Cup for any city outside of London or Cardiff. That is a fantastic thing to have pulled off.
"It means that Gloucester will be in the eye of the world during Rugby World Cup 2015, and I hope that this will be of great economic value to Gloucester and my experience from London, is that it will pay off.
"People will come here and think 'what a lovely place' and you will get investment, and follow through and that will be good for the city.
"Sometimes with these things you have got to chuck a sprat to catch a minnow. You have to invest in these things. If you go in with a positive frame of mind and investment in your city then it will pay off."
With rugby union a sport that didn't feature in London 2012, the World Cup coming to England in 2015 is vitally important for both the sport and participation in the game.
"I'm almost more excited about that so far as rugby union is my game. If I played anything with any kind of skill, it would have been rugby. I'm not saying that I was particularly skillful, I was probably more energetic and I think it's a brilliant game.
"I wish that more people played it and got involved with it, particularly in London. There should be more people in London playing with the oval ball.
"We need some people from Gloucester to come to London and show us all how to do it."

Inside-outside duo shines for St. Mary's
Pair of local sophomores lead Rattlers to win.
Published 12:00 am, Friday, January 14, 2011
With the exception of a matchup in the Blanco JV Tournament during their high school days, Josh Orta and Kevin Kotzur didn't know much about each other when they became teammates at St. Mary's this year.
But the two local sophomores have bonded quickly, and their connection was on display Thursday night as they paced the Rattlers to a 73-51 victory over visiting Oklahoma Panhandle State to improve their Heartland Conference-leading record.
Orta, who made his mark at Stevens before spending a year at South Plains College, shined from the outside with 19 points, while Kotzur dominated inside with 15 points and 13 rebounds.
"(Kotzur) makes it easier for me," Orta said. "When he and the other guys are on inside I feel comfortable. I know if we get the ball to them, they're going to score.
"If teams stop the inside we can hit from the outside. That's what helps us complement each other."

Orta showed his outside touch throughout the contest. He hit three of his four 3-pointers in the first half to ignite St. Mary's (10-5, 4-0) to a 20-10 lead with 7:14 showing.
After Panhandle State closed the deficit to 30-25 at halftime and pulled within 36-33 early in the second half, the point guard brought the Rattlers out of their lull by driving for two buckets off turnovers.
In addition, he worked the ball inside to Kotzur and Marshall Ray, who did their part to help the Rattlers break the game open with a 23-6 run for a 59-42 lead.
"(Orta) helps us a lot," said Kotzur, who remembers beating Orta's team by a point in their high school meeting. "He can shoot and likes to penetrate. He does a good job of getting the ball inside. It worked this game."
St. Mary's head coach Jim Zeleznak was also pleased with the scoring balance, and he's hoping to see even better results down the road.
"They're still learning to play together," Zeleznak said. "They're not there yet, but they are getting better. Hopefully, as we go this season it will keep getting better and better."

PASADENA (AP) — Word that California's unemployment rate dipped below 11 percent for the first time in three years provided just a small sliver of hope — but a sliver nonetheless — for people who in some cases have been making weekly trips to the unemployment office for years.
The jobless rate of 10.9 percent is down three-tenths of a percentage point from December's adjusted rate of 11.2 percent, the lowest since April 2009, the state Employment Development Department said Friday.
"Down 10.9 percent from 11.2 percent, huh?" Chris Walker asked with a laugh as he looked up from a computer screen where he'd been scanning job listings at a bustling Employment Development Department office in Pasadena. "Well, I guess it's a good sign that it is going down. Even 10.9 percent is an indicator, I guess. And maybe a hopeful indicator."
Walker has been a construction contractor for 20 years, a mostly unemployed one for the last three after his business collapsed along with the recession that took down California's last housing boom.
His baseball cap turned backward as he stared at the screen, he was seeking any part-time work he might be able to find until he can rebuild his business.
The recent decline in unemployment has made him "cautiously optimistic," he said, but he doesn't really expect his business to recover until unemployment falls to 8 or 9 percent and more people with more money start spending it on construction.
Still, there appeared to be some reason for his optimism. January was the fifth consecutive month in which the employment rate has dropped. It fell a full percentage point during that period.
"It looks like we're going in the right direction," department spokesman Kevin Callori said. "It just looks like, overall, things are looking better."
Meanwhile, 20 miles from upscale Pasadena, at a job fair that attracted several hundred people to the community center in the modest Los Angeles suburb of Bell, there was more cautious optimism.
Jasmine Casan in particular was hoping the news would lead to a job, perhaps at a warehouse in the nearby industrial city of Vernon, which employs some 50,000 mostly blue-collar workers.
She was laid off from her position in a medical billing office three years ago and since then Casan, 25, and her 4-year-old son have been surviving on welfare and living with her mother, in a city where Census figures show one in five people are below the poverty line.
"I've been looking and looking but I either don't have enough experience or enough requirements," she said of trying to land another white-collar job like her old one
So she waited at the community center, which had about 100 people in line when it opened at 9 a.m., to interview for a job while her mother watched her son.
Johnny Alvarez, area manager for Select Staffing, which organized the job fair with Bell city officials, said his company's clients are looking to fill more than 200 positions, everything from forklift driver and machine operator to executive assistant, manager and supervisor with various companies. Pay, he said, ranges from minimum-wage to as much as $75,000 a year, depending on the job.
"It is good news," he said of the most recent jobless figures, adding that for the past three to four months hiring among his company's clients has been picking up.
That being the case, Dave Theriault, who manages the San Francisco office of recruiting firm Robert Half Technology, said his company is advising employers to speed up their hiring process or risk losing talented candidates to competitors.
"There's a tremendous shortage of talent right now across a lot of sectors," he said.
For job seekers with the right skills, Theriault said, the search these days won't likely take long.
"If you're a strong programmer, you're not just somebody who's sitting at home waiting for calls," he said. "People will find you."
In the San Francisco Bay area, the greatest employment gains were recorded in science, technology and related industries.
In Santa Clara County, home to major high-tech companies such as Apple Inc., Google Inc. and until recently Facebook Inc., the job category that includes engineers, designers and scientists led gains with more than 6,000 positions added. Software and computer systems employment followed close behind with 5,600 new jobs.
Overall, the state has gained jobs for seven straight months, despite the downward adjustment in January based on revised December numbers.
The state added 322,400 nonfarm jobs since the recovery began in September 2009. Job gains for all of 2011 were up 1.7 percent, compared to 0.06 percent for all of 2010 and a 5.3 percent loss at the height of the recession in 2009.
The mining and logging, construction, manufacturing, trade, transportation and utilities, professional and business services, and leisure and hospitality sectors added a combined 35,400 jobs in January.
Not that Friday brought all good news. Job losses were felt in the information, financial activities, educational and health services fields, as well as government sectors. Those categories lost a combined 40,600 jobs.
And despite the dip in the unemployment rate, more than 2 million working-age Californians remain without jobs while the state is well above the national jobless rate of 8.3 percent for both January and February.
There are also pockets of high unemployment in places like Bell, where City Councilwoman Ana Maria Quintana said Friday joblessness is running between 15 and 17 percent.
California's December jobless rate of 11.2 percent was second only to Nevada's 13 percent, according to the latest numbers posted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The nationwide numbers had not been updated for December.

Re^3: how to read perl variable from a line read from a fileby Anonymous Monk

|Need Help??
It's not perfect. It's missing a close $fh and the substitution regexp probably should be s/\$([a-z]+)/ $vars{$1} || "\$$1" /gie; to give a somewhat sane behaviour for undefined variables (instead of substituting them with the empty string. Which is what *nix shells do, so I guess it's not that bad...)

Well not to defend anyone,but you should really think about what people are dealing with in Iraq.
Officials in Iraq say 33 people were killed when a suicide bomber detonated a car packed with explosives near a funeral procession in south-east Baghdad.
A suicide bomber rammed his explosive-laden vehicle into a police building in the southern Iraqi city of Basra on Monday, killing four people, officials said
BAGHDAD (AP) — A suicide truck driver detonated a ton of explosives near a police headquarters in the northern city of Mosul on Friday, killing five American soldiers in the deadliest attack against U.S. troops in more than a year.
I take it that some of you didn't notice the concern in the voices of the occupants in the vehicle that was filming this.It seems this person did not pay attention to the vehicles that were approaching where as everyone else around this person did.I say person because we do not know the gender of said person. Again I am not defending them but to say they ran this person over is a bit of a stretch.
Lastly their was an increase in women being used as suicide bombers...
Suicide attacks in Iraq are increasingly conducted by women, who can more easily pass through checkpoints without being searched. Typically clad conservatively from head to toe, women are rarely stopped and even more rarely subjected to body searches, because it is considered improper in Muslim culture for a male to scrutinize (much less pat down) a woman. Terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda in Iraq are now exploiting this fact to evade security measures.
Again not defending just pointing out what these people have to deal with on a daily basis..
As I've already stated, suicide bombers go for stationary targets, not moving vehicles driving fast down the crowded Iraqi highways. Please, provide an article where a suicide bomber walked into traffic and blew up US troops/contractors/Iraqi civilians.
As I've already stated, suicide bombers go for stationary targets, not moving vehicles driving fast down the crowded Iraqi highways. Please, provide an article where a suicide bomber walked into traffic and blew up US troops/contractors/Iraqi civilians. Yes, these men in a foreign land who are definitely targets does, they are under pressure (although they seem to be having a grand old time), but that doesn't give them the right to drive like maniacs, hit Iraqi civilians cars and their women. Being at "war" does not give private contractors the right to be above the law as they act like mad men.
Also, unless we all don't have our volume on, we did in fact hear the men in the 2nd video watch the woman get hit and remark on it. That said, for men who showed "compassion", that compassion ended when they drove on by her as she lay motionless
"The bomber walked into the security convoy at Kangra village and detonated the explosives strapped to his body near the four-wheeler in which Sherpao was travelling."
Eyewitnesses Naib Khan told The Express Tribune that when Sherpao's convoy reached Kangra village, the bomber jumped from along the roadside and blew himself up near Sherpao's vehicle.
"The suicide bomber walked in the security convoy and hit the vehicles," local police chief Nisar Khan Marwat told AFP
If they're that scared of suicide bombers that they believe there is one on every street corner, they need to be taken out of servicce. They are not mentally fit and are unable to conduct themselves in a rational manner.

They did not run anyone over
they acidently hit a car that
was blocking the road!
Blatant propaganda
As people are defending running over a sister because she walked out into traffic, you do not understand how to cross a road. People are supposed to slow a bit when traffic is congested in order for people to manage their way across..

Only problem with that argument is that the traffic was not congested on that side of the road which you can see in the second video from the OP. Just as common sense you do not walk into the road as vehicles are approaching at a high speed no matter who is right. The vehicle always wins. There is a difference in your video and the OP video.
I am not defending their actions but there is some fault that can be placed on both sides. Remember this is Iraq not the United States where we do have traffic laws. And even where I live in Ga. I see people walk into the street in front of cars all the time even when the car has the right of way, it really is rediculous.
As a former Marine I have absolutely no respect for contractors and what they do. They are loyal to nothing but a paycheck. There is no honor in what they do. Most of them are former military who have sold out for the money. I dealt with them on many occasions and what I mostly saw was arrogant thugs with no moral compasses. Now i'm not saying that they are all bad, this was just my experience with them.
It isn't the fact of being scared it is the fact of actually coming home to see your loved ones and not in a body bag when doing so.I am not defending their actions,but what would you do when faced with that type of threat?
Suicide bombers aren't just men as I showed in my prior post. Again casting judgement without knowledge of the whole situation is premature.

No, you are clearly defending them in the guise of calling this propaganda. You are assuming a woman crossing the street is a suicide bomber so with your assumption its okay to run her over and to continue without stopping to check on her welfare, you know doing the right thing because you ran her over. You reasoning is the same said propaganda reasoning used time and time during times of conflict, "its war and things happen". No wonder "terrorists" want to kill US troops/contractors if they act like this. Well, hopefully the US troops don't because they actually have to be professional and have consequences to face unlike these contractors.
Stop the road side, and suicide bombings
and I think things would be different.
They don't show the suv's getting blown
up by someone who looks to be a women
which could just be a man in a burqa with a suicide
bomb blowing up innocent people do they?

Dane County Farmers' Market
Thank you for a great 2017
See you in 2018!
Our Farm
Farmers Market
Member Letters
CSA boxes
Thank you for another great CSA season! We will begin our deliveries in May 2018
Produce Gallery
Harmony Valley Farm prides itself in growing the finest, high quality organic produce. Beyond that, our repertoire includes some very special and unique crops and varieties. We often find ourselves in the position of introducing a variety to our customers for the first time. The following will help describe some of our favorite yet less well-known produce.
French Petite Beans
A specialty of ours during mid and late summer, these tender, flavorful beans come as close to the true French haricot vert as any we've grown, but with growth and blossom habits that allow us to harvest steady quantities all season long. Restaurants, market shoppers and retailers vie for our supply.
Red Savoy Cabbage
You could claim there's not a lot to get excited about in the world of cabbage, but you'd be overlooking this phenomenally beautiful newcomer. Not as heavily savoyed as the traditional green savoy, and not as intensely colored as a traditional red cabbage, our red savoy, nevertheless, outshines both relatives in many respects. It is crispier and juicier than a true savoy, and has a fresher, brighter taste than red cabbage. Possibilities are endless. Rediscover cabbage with our red savoy!
French Orange Cantaloupe -
This personal sized cantaloupe has the seductive flavor of the famous, but finicky, French Charantais melons, but can be reliably grown here in the Midwest. We've made many friends with this signature summer crop. Market shoppers and CSA customers can't wait for their first taste of French Orange each season.
Crosnes aka Tuberina or Chinese Artichoke -
Crosnes are rarely grown on a commercial scale in the United States, but each year we harvest several hundred pounds of these unique tubers for sales to restaurants and our farmers' market customers. Their sweet, nutty crunch with a hint of artichoke make them very versatile. Their flavor is enhanced by butter and gentle cooking. We harvest them in late fall and have them for sale throughout winter while supplies last. Occasionally, we harvest overwinter tubers in early spring for sale in April and May.
Porcelain and Italian Red Garlic -
Through careful selection we have improved these types of stiffneck garlic here at Harmony Valley. Both produce large bulbs with full-bodied flavor and excellent storage capabilities. The Italian Red garlic bulbs contain 6 - 8 large, easy-peeling cloves. Incredibly, the Porcelain variety has 3 - 5 jumbo cloves that home and professional cooks love! We harvest garlic in late July and sell cured garlic right through February.
Flowering Kale-
Ornamental yes, but don't dismiss its value in the kitchen. Use as you would red, green or lacinato kale, allow more cooking time. Retains its color! Small center leaves make stunning garnish or salad additions and are very edible raw when harvested after the cool weather has set in.
Lacinato(Tuscan)Kale -
The lance shaped, crinkled leaf of lacinato give it a distinct look, but the flavor is its true claim to fame. Milder and nuttier in flavor than other kales, even in summer harvest, it is gaining remarkable popularity. It's deep green color is a badge of its healthful vitamin and mineral content.
Ramps grow wild in our part of the country, preferring deep forest soils and cool springs. We harvest them judiciously, selecting large bulbs with healthy leaves, leaving behind plenty to replenish the population for sustainable harvest for years to come. The flavor of ramps is inimitable, though they are reminiscent of leeks, hence their local name, wild leek. Their season is fleeting, three to four weeks in late April and early May, depending on the spring temperatures. Their supply is limited, so enjoy them in abundance while they are available.
Broccoli Romanesco -
Broccoli Romanesco is a visual and taste feast. Its spiraling minarets catch the eye, while the delicate, nutty, cauliflower-like taste is versatile and pleasing. Not as adaptable or easy to grow as cauliflower, we grow only a fall harvested crop. Our customers anticipate its arrival and ask for more when the season's over.
Field Grown Salad Mix-
All of our mixed greens are field grown, which imparts greater variation in texture and more intense colors, especially in cool season conditions.
Red and Green Kale -
Our red and green kales are available from July through October. Our red kale variety has similar texture and leaf size as the green and is an intense purple-burgundy color throughout the season.
Sunchokes, aka Jerusalem Artichokes -
Originally native to North America, the sunchoke has been bred, perfected and embraced in France. There are now several large, smooth varieties, both red and white skinned, that are available to US farmers. With a little careful selection we raise some of the most flavorful, smoothest tubers we have seen anywhere. Prized in French cuisine, Americans are discovering them for their flavor, which hints of artichoke, and their nutritional properties. They are a useful addition to diets that limit high glycemic index vegetables. Any recipe calling for potatoes can be easily adapted to sunchokes. They are available from late fall, through spring.
Sweet Scarlet Turnip
Definitely different! This turnip is mildly sweet and very beautiful, with its rosy skin and flesh that often displays a pink blush. Freshly harvested roots can be cooked with the thin skins intact for stunning presentations. This turnip stores incredibly well through the winter months, maintaining or even improving its flavor. It is a favorite staple during the "dark months" of winter, brightening a wide variety of comfort dishes.

Okay, that just might be way too much information...
So, are there details or do we get to make up our own version(s)??
So did I...
there's a lot of cultural cul-de-sacs in that statement.
I just felt like sharing. The first was quite long and airy, the second a short rasp.
I'll keep you posted if there are any further developments.

Thanks for the image...
*wanders off to find distraction*
Although an off the cuff comment, it is strange how farts and bowel movements are treated differently in different parts of the world. In Europe we are quite embarrassed about farting and pooing, but in other parts of the world they talk about how they had a good shit this morning etc and it is healthy to have good poos. I have been in taxis in Asia where the taxi driver stopped, got out and pissed in a field by the car. Imagine if that happened in the UK!!!! Burping at the dinner table is also very polite in high society in some Asian countries.
Right....I'm off for a shit.
I initially posted out of boredom to make myself chuckle. Now I am enjoying the debate that is forming.
It is true that in the UK we are quite a 'stuffy' nation and that one's natural movements and motions are approached in a multitude of different way across the globe.
I once strolled past just a matter of feet from a truly beautiful Indian girl while she went about her business in a pile of garbage. This wasn't in a particularly private or well hidden spot, but just down a normal small-ish Indian alleyway in Calcutta. Unpleasant, but when needs must. On a public bus in Laos on the way out to Phonsavan we stopped for a pee break. I found a suitable spot and unzipped. Moments later a group of 3 Laotian ladies hunkered up their long skirts and squatted just near me, started peeing and staring directly at my member. Disconcerting. I have yet to eat a meal with wealthy Japanese where a deep and rumbling belch is the only sure-fire way to express one's gratitude for the spread.
I am a fairly liberal minded sort of character but take particular offence when people guff anonymously in enclosed spaces. Lifts being the worst.
Also, we all fart so why do some people pretend that they don't? My old school buddy Paul used to fart like thunder and make no acknowledgement of it at all. Just parp and wander off leaving a malodorous trail in his wake. Unusual.
If anyone takes offence to this thread then please accept my sincere apologies. I know that some may find it offensive, juvenile, purile, unnecessary etc.
It is purely here to amuse those that it amuses and provide light relief in an increasingly changing world.

Had the name been Charlie, I would have thought you'd met my brother-in-law. He prides himself in producing the most vile silent but deadly farts as he walks by where you are seated. Half of the time he will admit that deadly odor was his own doing but blames one of the cats for the rest. (Sorry Charlie, no cats were even in the room.) He also likes to sneak up behind you and belch loudly in your ear. (This is a soon-to-be 52 year old man.) He loves fart jokes and makes up songs about farts. The rest of the family has decided that he really isn't related but was dropped off on the door step by the septic tank cleaner man one day. It would explain a lot...
That has to be the one thing that travelling does for you - you don't care any more about talking about bowel movements. In Asia definitely no-one cares if you fart, burp or even pick your nose and eat it (not that I do of course!) in very public places. Travelling has also made me less picky about toilets...in China there were just cubicals, squat toilets and no door but like you say when you need to go... British reservedness out the window!
The funniest farting instance I can think of is when we were on our Thai massage course and we started each day with an hour of yoga. During one of the 'legs over thehead' stretches (imagine nice relaxing music, quiet room) someone let off a really loud fart. Of course I started laughing, which set off my boyfriend and another girl next to us but everyone else glared at us like we were being childish...seriously we were crying with laughter and couldn't do any of the yoga for about 10 minutes because everytime we looked at each other we would laugh again.
I have to say I find farting funny and will giggle if someone does it and doesn't own up...maybe that's because of my dad who always blames creaking floorboards when he farts!
....delighted with the responses and giggling at my desk as I prepare for another day at work!
It is a pleasure to see that there are plenty of other intelligent, well-travelled and rather 'grown up' people who find farting amusing and aren't afraid to share their thoughts on a forum such as this.
Keep the tales of international guffing and belching coming!

The King James Version of the Bible still has its uses. In Proverbs 4:7 we read, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."
Eugene Peterson writes, "Wisdom is the art of living skillfully in whatever actual conditions we find ourselves."
To get wisdom we must first concede that we do not have it. The teachable heart is a prepared field for the seeds of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. This is horrendous English, but: with whatever getting you got, get wisdom. Once you have it, live a life of skill. Be an exceedingly sagacious engineer, brewmaster, or civil servant. Play the piano with all your might. Raise up students who will surpass you.
Do not long for others to look upon you and say, "That person is wise." Rather, hope for this awe-filled whisper: "They are a blessing."

There was excitement at Bourne Academy this week when funding for a new sixthform centre was confirmed.
Pupils and teachers celebrated after the news that nearly £400,000 has been allocated from the Department of Education's Academies Capital Maintenance Fund to create a new block at the school.
Isobel Copley, community business development coordinator, said the centre will be a "dream come true" for the school.
She said: "The sixthform has been growing steadily and the school's examination results are consistently above the national average every year, so to have a purpose built centre is a dream come true.
"The new sixthform centre will have a major impact on this successful school."
Head of sixthform Rachel Double said "We are really excited.
"The new building is going to make the sixth form a special place in which to study."
"The next school year already sees an increase in applications and we are sure the new centre will be loved by every student."
The two storey centre will be built adjoining the current teaching block erected in 2009.
There will be a large common room and a study centre with computers plus office space for sixth form staff.
The school, in Edinburgh Crescent, Bourne, is still welcoming external applications for September this year.
It is hoped the sixthform centre will be ready to open on November 1.
Headteacher Laurence Reilly said: "The new sixthform centre will provide a large social space for our growing sixthform, together with a significant increase in the number of computers available for our students to use during their private study sessions.
"The successful bid to the Department of Education comes at a time when there are already major improvements taking place at the school, with enhanced facilities for PE and sports studies nearing completion and preparations underway for a large extension to our provision in creative arts, including drama, music technology and art, ready for the new academic year."
He added: "Parents will also be able to use our new on-site uniform outlet when it opens next week.
"It is easy to see why the school is now oversubscribed, with over 220 applicants for Year 7 places this September."
For more information about the school, which was formerly called Robert Manning Technology College, visit the website at www.robertmanning.org.uk

On my "Blogs I Follow" reader (http://wordpress.com/#!/read/following/), the blog posts that appear there are of blogs I do not follow. There is only one blog post shown that is a post of a blog I follow (which is the first post shown), but the rest aren't anymore. The posts' tags are also not shown; but when clicked, they actually do have tags. When I scroll down my reader, the situation is still the same and I really see no posts of blogs I follow. Is there a way to fix this? Everything was fine the last time I logged-in, which was yesterday.
Thanks in advance!
The blog I need help with is maiicha.wordpress.com.

I agree. That line sounded like it came out of a book or movie. And I agree again. I like to just randomly rhyme poems instead of forcing it too.

That is a GREAT line:) And an awesome poem. Very well written.

This time we did puzzles. Specifically, we looked at ALGEBRAIC puzzles, where we had to figure out which numbers belonged to each letter (VARIABLE).
Some of them were really hard, but because we worked SYSTEMATICALLY we could figure them all out. We used place values a lot and then guessed and checked.
We also practiced explaining your solutions. It isn't always enough to solve a problem - we often need to explain our solutions so that other people understand.

@Trafford - funnily enough I'd been in Cycles UK the week before to ask why my chain was slipping. They removed the wheel and then 'reseated' it so that the chain was a little tighter (no charge - natch).
On top of that, the bike has been used pretty much every day throughout the whole of Winter - I wouldn't be surprised if a few other parts suddenly 'explode' on me.
