Sure you can -- you just spend nodes to do so. If you get 10% fewer nodes (approximately) you can get service contracts on them AND reduce your AC load. As I said, to get the most help from the list we have to know the problem constraints as you lay them out below. I suspect that the "problem" with your designs is primarily that you haven't properly balanced your resources between the hardware up front and the long term risks and costs of maintenance. Having done at least two clusters that turned out to be disasters beyond all imagining from the turned-out-to-be-a-piece-of-crap motherboard or the blown-taiwanese-capacitor point of view, I will NOT buy any sort of production cluster without a 3-4 year obligation on the part of the vendor to fix it if it breaks, even if it ALL breaks, until I've gotten my full expected money's worth out of it. That involves simply adding the cost of the service contract into the cost of the nodes, no matter who you get them from. Some companies quote nodes to you this way up front -- they won't SELL them without such a contract on them as their reputation goes to hell if you buy them and they all break anyway, so the HAVE to fix them ultimately. The taiwanese capacitor problem affected some 2/3 of the motherboards in production at the time -- not even the best of vendors can always avoid this. If you choose not to do it, well, then you gamble. Maybe your systems run flawlessly for four years, only blowing a few power supplies and a disk or two, and you stay will within your $500/year repair budget and don't lose your mind fixing machines all the time by hand. Maybe you run them for six months, get them past their 90 day warranty period, and your AC fails for just long enough to toast every single motherboard, or not toast them on the spot but heat them up enough that nodes start failing every month instead of every year. Most of the onsite service plans don't have exclusions except for obvious and semideliberate damage on the part of the owner, although obviously you want to look at this in detail, per contract. > In response to RGB's request for more information: > "It might be more helpful if you gave us your > budget and your software constraints (e.g. how much memory per CPU or > core do you need).

Doing so on this list is OK -- people do it from time to time and a number of vendors (well-behaved vendors!) are on the list. Some may respond politely to you directly just from reading this, not with a quote but with an offer to generate one. You'll probably/maybe get offers of a quote from penguin (Michael Will), from ASL (Jeff Nugyen), from Scalable Informatics (Joe Landmann) that I can think of, maybe a few others. See what they can do. Some of them will be high in the sense that you are willing to do more of the work to save money where they want to do more of a turnkey cluster. Others will be happy to sell you the nodes and a rack and leave the rest to you. Using penguin's online node configurator you can get dual, dual core Opteron 265 (Altus 1400) 1U nodes with 2 GB of memory and a small hard disk (no CD drive), with 3 year standard warranty, for $2227. Drop the hard disk and use warewulf diskless and you can save the $227, about. Allowing for a rack and mounting hardware, for shipping, and for your networking and miscellaneous costs (some of which might well be compensated for in an actual quote, since buying multiple systems for a university you'll likely get a small discount on the web price) you can get somewhere between 8 (for sure) and 10 nodes. That is 512 MB per core, the ABILITY to run jobs up to 2 GB in size using fewer than the four cores available per box, the ability to trade off now and drop the disk and get 4 GB/node (1 GB/core) for about the same price. Note also that I'm guessing that these boxes draw somewhere between 200 and 300 watts fully loaded with tasks (anybody out there measure? Michael? Y'all have a kill-a-watt back at your plant?). Just 8 of them leaves you nicely set as far as your room's power and cooling resources are concerned, where the extra heat generated by 16 or 32 chassis, their individual power supplies, their individual (unused but powered up) peripherals would become a problem. That's a minimum of 32 to a maximum of 40 Opteron processor cores with anywhere from 512MB to 1 GB of memory per core, well within your budget, with full protection from MAJOR maintenance headaches for the life of your project (yes, you still have to call them if things break but honestly, almost none of the penguin nodes we've bought so far (opteron 242 Altus 1300's) have broken over the 1.5 years we've had them). We have had a LOT more service issues (per unit time) with Dell hardware, although Dell's onsite service is excellent after the fact. I'm not suggesting you CHOOSE penguin, though -- get quotes from a lot of these vendors, then ask opinions about specific quotes or motherboards on the list if you have any doubts or questions. Penguin has to earn your business by giving you a good price AND the warm fuzzies reliability wise. That's the beauty of the free (COTS) market, right? Go ahead and look into minitowers and steel shelving clusters as well -- but DO include hot and cold running maintenance on them, even if you price cheap old e-machines AMD-64's for $350 a box from Best Buy. Last, consider a split strategy. Say you get the price per node down to $2000, planning to run diskless and 2G, but have to configure ONE node with disk etc and 4 GB as a server and place to run occassional "big" jobs, get your rack, get a simple/cheap GigE switch and some wiring -- let's say that your cost profile is $2K per node, $4K for ONE node (the "head node) and the rack combined, $1K for networking etc. You can do something like: networking etc $1K head node $4K seven nodes $14K ======================== total $19K Get it. Install it. Live with it. Use it. For six months, for a year. You've still got $11K leftover, right? At the end of this time, you can decide to: add five more nodes (if your power/cooling will stand it) $10K. (Probably five more with 1 GB/core at that time). add 2G per node to the ones you have, get maybe four more nodes with 4 GB/node. add a high end network (oops, your problem turned out to need one) add 3 nodes, lots of memory, and a serious visualization workstation add 3-4 FASTER nodes -- CPU prices have dropped, memory prices have dropped. For MC simulation, you can actually show that over a 3 year period it makes as much sense to spend your money in 1/3's and ride Moore's Law instead of spending it all in year one anyway, depending on just where you are relative to the discrete jumps. 3 years x 1/3 x 1 (year 0 performance multiplier) = 1 cluster-year of work from the first 1/3 2 years x 1/3 x 1.73 (year 1 performance multiplier) = 1 cluster-year of work from the second 1/3 1 year x 1/3 x 3 (year 2 performance multiplier) = 1 cluster year of work from the third 1/3 As you can see, you pretty much break even, on average, depending a bit on just where the discrete jumps on Moore's Law performance land. I think that the ability to redirect your money intelligently as your actual production dictates dynamically more than justifies reserving at least 1/3 or so for contingencies and design refinements. I'm assuming, BTW, that you don't pay the power bills out of this budget. If this assumption is NOT right, of course you have to buy a LOT fewer nodes (about 1/3 fewer) and save money to pay for power... rgb > > > Thank you all for your thoughtful responses.

Solvency II Capital Requirements for Debt Instruments
Impact of Solvency II on the Debt Markets.
This document is not intended to be an exhaustive review of the impact of Solvency II on the debt markets or the calculation of the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) under the standard formula. However, it is intended to provide a detailed description of the key elements in the calculation of the SCR for debt instruments. The variety of asset classes and risk types that constitute debt instruments offer a wide range of complex situations to be dealt with: various types of coupons, indexations and embedded options (callable, puttable…), convertible bonds, collateralized loans, securitizations, infrastructure debt…
(...) The first section of this document provides the big picture of the SCR standard formula. We then focus on the specificities of the SCR for debt instruments, with particular attention to the use of ratings and pricing models. A third section is dedicated to how profitability can be measured, taking into account the SCR.

Difference between revisions of "EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/AttributeGroup"
|Line 17:
|Line 17:
=== LoadGroup ===
=== LoadGroup ===
Revision as of 10:16, 11 June 2010
Starting with [[EclipseLink/Release/2.1.0|EclipseLink 2.1.0] EclipseLink has introduced the concept of an AttributeGroup that can be used configure the use of partial entities in fetch, load, copy, and merge operations. This example illustrates how this functionality can be used.
- 1 AttributeGroup Types and Operations
- 2 Usage Examples
AttributeGroup Types and Operations
The FetchGroup which has existed in EclipseLInk for a number of releases defines which attributes should be fetched (selected from the database) when the entity is retrieved as the result of a query execution. The inclusion of relationship attributes in a FetchGroup only determines if the attribute's required columns should be fetched and populated. In the case of a lazy fetch type the inclusion of the attribute simply means that its proxy will be created to enable lazy loading when accessed. To force a relationship mapping to be populated when using a FetchGroup on a query the attribute must be included in the group and must either be
FetchType.EAGER or it must be included in an associated LoadGroup on the query.
Default FetchGroup
FetchGroup also has the notion of named and default FetchGroup which are managed by the FetchGroupManager. A default FetchGroup is defined during metadata processing if one or more basic mappings are configured to be lazy and the entity class implements FetchGroupTracker (typically introduced through weaving). The default FetchGroup is used on all queries for this entity type where no explicit FetchGroup or named FetchGroup is configured.
Named FetchGroup
A Named FetchGroup can be defined for an entity using [TODO @FetchGroup] or within the [[EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/EclipseLink-ORM.XML|eclipselink-orm.xml]
Full FetchGroup
Load/LoadAll with FetchGroup
A FetchGroup can also be configured to perform a load operation of relationship mappings and nested relationship mappings.
The CopyGroup replaces the deprecated ObjectCopyPolicy being used to define how a entity is copied. In addition to specifying the attributes defining what should be copied from the source entity graph into the target copy the CopyGroup also allows definition of:
- shouldResetPrimaryKey: Reset the identifier attributes to their default value. This is used when the copy operation is intended to clone the entity in order to make a new entity with similar state to the source. Default is false.
- shouldRestVersion: Reset the optimistic version locking attribute to its default value in the copies. Default is false.
- depth: defines cascade mode for handling relationships. By default CASCADE_PRIVATE_PARTS is used but it can also be configure to NO_CASCADE, CASCADE_ALL_PARTS, and CASCADE_TREE (which should be used if the attribute group's specified items are all that is to be copied).
When a partial entity is merged into a persistence context that has an AttributeGroup associated with it defining which attributes are available only those attributes are merged. The relationship mappings within the entity are still merged according to their cascade merge settings.
Usage Examples
FetchGroup Examples
Named FetchGroup
Configuring using @FetchGroup
@FetchGroup(name="names", attributes={ @FetchAttribute(name="firstName"), @FetchAttribute(name="lastName")})
Configuring within eclipsleink-orm.xml
<entity class="model.Employee"> <secondary-table name="SALARY" /> <fetch-group name="names"> <attribute name="firstName" /> <attribute name="lastName" /> </fetch-group>
Copy Examples
Here an Employee entity is copied with it basic names, address and phoneNumbers.
CopyGroup group = new CopyGroup(); group.cascadeTree(); // Only copy the specified attribute group items group.addAttribute("firstName"); group.addAttribute("lastName"); group.addAttribute("address"); group.addAttribute("phoneNumbers"); Employee empCopy = (Employee) em.unwrap(JpaEntityManager.class).copy(emp, group);
Clone Entity using Copy and Persist
In this example an employee entity is cloned using a CopyGroup to copy all attributes with the exception of relationships (1:1, 1:M, M:M) that are not configured as private-owned. The resulting copy of the entity is then persisted to have new identity but the same state as its source.
CopyGroup group = new CopyGroup(); group.cascadePrivateParts(); // Copy all attributes and only private-owned relationships group.setShouldResetPrimaryKey(true); group.setShouldResetVersion(true); Employee empCopy = (Employee) em.unwrap(JpaEntityManager.class).copy(emp, group); System.out.println(">>> Employee copied"); // Persist the employee copy em.persist(empCopy);

(Reuters) - Wireless communications provider ViaSat Inc says its new satellite-based internet services are starting to drive growth as it takes its focus off defense contracts ahead of the "fiscal cliff" threatening U.S. government spending.
ViaSat is trying to break its reliance on U.S. government sales — currently almost half of its revenue — but its shares have slid since it launched Exede, a high-speed internet service based on its satellite system, in January.
The stock currently trades around $35, down a third from almost $50 eight months ago, with investors unimpressed with the company's progress since moving into the new field.
But ViaSat, which completed the rollout of Exede in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, said 40 percent of the 20,000 subscribers added in the first quarter switched to its high-speed internet service.
Orders at the satellite services segment grew 31 percent during the quarter.
"We have got one contract (in the just-completed quarter) that's almost equal to ... our normal order flow," Chief Executive Mark Dankberg said. "So in orders we are going to do really, really well."
The home internet service, a high margin business, is expected to contribute significantly to earnings over the next two-to-four years, said Dankberg, who co-founded ViaSat in 1986.
The Carlsbad, California-based company expects to trim government sales to 35 percent of revenue within five years from 45 percent currently, Dankberg said.
"It won't be that (the government segment) shrinks, it will be that it doesn't grow as fast as other parts of our business grow," he said.
The question has been whether the company is moving fast enough into non-government sales of satellite equipment and services to escape the effect of government cuts. Including Exede, this sector now makes up about a quarter of ViaSat sales.
The so-called "fiscal cliff" — automatic tax hikes and government spending cuts that will suck about $600 billion out of the economy next year if lawmakers fail to agree how to slash the budget deficit — is the most immediate threat.
"There's been some investor disappointment in the pace of subscriber growth in the satellite services segment," said Stephens Inc analyst Timothy Quillin.

I'm sitting here, curled up on the sofa with a fuzzy blanket, eating a warm and comforting bowl of chili. We didn't lose power as expected, but still, this storm has propelled me into fall behaviour. Clearly, while I was busy picking paint colors for the hallway and perusing catalogues for dining room chairs, and imagining ways to rework the landscaping in our new backyard, summer happened. And now it's almost over. Next weekend marks the unofficial official end of the season, and I'm not ready.
I'm still hooked on zucchini, and craving corn. I guess I need to cram as much summer flavor as I can into the coming days. In case you're feeling the same way, below are some of my favorite summer recipes, worthy of one last hurrah, and also lovely additions to a Labor Day BBQ spread.
Perfect for using up those summer veggies, this simple ratatouille is delicious over grilled chicken or fish, and wonderful at room temperature tossed with cooked pasta for a veggie-filled pasta salad.
Pretty and pink! This refreshing summer drink is fantastic for a labor day BBQ. You can make a big pitcher and let your guests help themselves.
To me, malts and milkshakes scream summer. Enjoy a malt from a huge glass with a bendy straw for an old-school treat. Or try serving them in little shot glasses for a really fun BBQ dessert!
I spend August in pursuit of perfect tomatoes. And once those tomatoes arrive, using them in every possible dish becomes my mission! This simple panzanella salad is lovely and easy and full of fresh flavor.

Celeb Crush Natalie Martinez Will Cuff You if You're Naughty
Natalie Martinez will cuff you if you're naughty -- at least Detective Jamie Lovato, her recurring character on 'CSI: NY,' would.
The 29-year-old actress was born and raised in Miami, Florida, but as her gorgeous skin tone and voluptuous hips suggest, she has Cuban roots.
When not suiting up for 'CSI: NY' or her newest show 'Under the Dome,' Natalie stars in movies, music videos and telenovelas. Martinez is a spokeswoman for JLO by Jennifer Lopez and appeared in a music video for 'Rain Over Me' by Pitbull which featured Lopez's ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Make sure to tune into Natalie's new show and follow her on Twitter and Facebook too.

I am a Canberra-based author who likes writing stories for young people. My stories can be scary, funny, spooky and strange, but that's the way I like it. I hope you don't mind. I like dinosaurs, aliens, dragons and drawing. I would rather write about imaginary lands and places, but sometimes the real world creeps into my head and won't go away until I put it in a story. I think the real-world stories are the scariest of all. They are definitely the hardest to write.

dnsjava is an implementation of DNS in Java. It supports all defined record types (including the DNSSEC types), and unknown types. It can be used for queries, zone transfers, and dynamic updates. It includes a cache which can be used by clients, and a minimal implementation of a server. It supports TSIG authenticated messages, partial DNSSEC verification, and EDNS0.
dnsjava provides functionality above and beyond that of the InetAddress class. Since it is written in pure Java, dnsjava is fully threadable, and in many cases is faster than using InetAddress.
dnsjava provides both high and low level access to DNS. The high level functions perform queries for records of a given name, type, and class, and return the answer or reason for failure. There are also functions similar to those in the InetAddress class. A cache is used to reduce the number of DNS queries sent. The low level functions allow direct manipulation of DNS messages and records, as well as allowing additional resolver properties to be set.
A simple tool for doing DNS lookups, a 'dig' clone and a dynamic update client are included, as well as a simple authoritative-only server.
For more information, see the README file in the source distribution.
For information on the sample programs included, see the USAGE file in the source distribution.

The deal, which includes cover wraps, gives GSK the chance to access the magazine's expanded readership following its relaunch as a free title this autumn, and is the first multi-platform deal done by the listings magazine.
There will also be activity on Time Out's iPad app, a bespoke microsite, Twitter and Facebook platforms, advertorials and standard ads in the free weekly magazine, reaching a combined monthly audience of over seven million.
Building on the idea that the "best things in life are often hidden", a reference to GSK's Day & Night Nurse products that are kept behind the pharmacy counter, the campaign will help readers uncover the hidden gems the capital has to offer.
The "hidden London" campaign runs until 30 December and has been was developed in partnership with MediaCom and Grey London.
According to Time Out, key strands of the campaign will include a guide to the "best of hidden London," day and night-themed cover wraps designed by Grey London, featuring corresponding hidden London events inside each edition, an online "School of Ask" microsite which will encourage users to ask Time Out's editor Tim Arthur to seek out London's "most obscure events, venues and activities".
Those who submit the most unusual suggestions will also have the opportunity to win specially-curated Time Out experiences.
Rhiain Jenkins, head of creative solutions for Time Out London, said: "The partnership with GSK marks a pivotal step for Time Out London since the magazine moved to a free model in September. Our significant print and digital reach gives us the scale to target an active, urban audience across multiple platforms in a highly creative and original way.
"The campaign is a perfect fit for our audience who don't have the time or patience to be unwell when they can be out discovering the very best London has to offer."
Morven Porteus, Cold and Flu brand manager at GlaxoSmithKline, said: "We truly believe that Day & Night Nurse is the product for busy Londoners and in Time Out we have the ideal partner – a great combination of reach for our audience and fantastic creative solutions."

ATLANTA--Student-athletes from 10 Georgia State teams will have the opportunity to participate in postseason play in the Sun Belt Conference in 2012-13, GSU Director of Athletics Cheryl L. Levick and Sun Belt Commissioner Karl Benson announced.
GSU will participate in the Sun Belt Conference Championships and will be considered an associate member in the league for 2012-13 in the sports of men's cross country, women's cross country, men's indoor track and field, women's indoor track and field, men's outdoor track and field, women's outdoor track and field, men's golf, women's golf, men's tennis and women's tennis.
In these individual sports, the programs compete in a conference championship tournament but do not play a regular-season conference schedule. In golf and tennis, the team champions earn an automatic berth into the NCAA Championships.
"We thank Commissioner Benson and the Sun Belt Conference athletics directors for their unanimous support in welcoming Georgia State to the conference and supporting our student-athletes," said Levick. "The student-athletes always come first, and we are delighted that Georgia State student-athletes in 10 sports will be able to compete in conference championships in 2012-13."
Georgia State's team sports, including men's and women's soccer, volleyball, men's and women's basketball, baseball and softball, will play a Colonial Athletic Association schedule in 2012-13 as planned but are unable to participate in postseason conference tournaments. These teams are eligible for NCAA at-large berths.
"Our discussions with the Sun Belt and the CAA centered only on the individual sports, and we appreciate the cooperation from both conferences to allow over 100 student-athletes a conference championship opportunity," said Levick. "It was not feasible at this late date to consider other sports due to the scheduling complications."
Georgia State will become a full member of the Sun Belt Conference on July 1, 2013 and will be eligible for all championships except football in 2013-14. The GSU football program will play a Sun Belt schedule in 2013 as part of the second year of its transition to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and then will become eligible for the Sun Belt title and postseason bowl games in 2014.
"We think that this is the right thing to do for the student-athletes of Georgia State," said Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Karl Benson. "Though we would have liked to accommodate all of the Panther student-athletes, the logistics and timing were such that were too many complications. We are excited to be able to provide a championship experience for many of the student-athletes of GSU."

There is a love I have for raisin toast that is indecent. It's got to be a small loaf, in order to contain the raisins, and the cinnamon that is the raisin's common-law companion. The best is when the bread has been freshly baked, but that is rare. I usually buy a loaf that looks appealing, then freeze it until my desire becomes too much to bear. I eye it in the icebox, as I reach for the other forbidden things in there, vodka and boxed chocolate and lemon pies, the raisin bread hard and cold, slices tightly bonded with frost.
When I am finally ready, I am altogether clumsy with want, all thumbs reaching into the bag and trying to pry the slices apart. Raisins fly onto the floor and I eat them right off the linoleum. Pride and passion have little in common with each other. I break some pieces off the loaf and load them haphazardly into the toaster, set to unfreeze and toast them just to a light medium brown. I check the temperature incessantly, cancelling my toasting and touching the hot center. I know it by feel, like I am searing a well marbled steak.
The surface of the toast gets hard and brown and slightly rough and I know this is right. I will take one out of the toaster and butter it immediately with unsalted fancy butter, the kind that tv chefs use, in their wide cubes. After buttering one side of the toast I flip it over and then drop another generous pat on the other side, then immediately position the second piece of toast onto it, melting the butter into the bread and making an impromptu 'cake'. I do not butter the top of the second slice. That is my one concession to dieting.
Then I eat them, and I take a long time. Sometimes there's a lacy fried egg, crunchy with salt, to distract and prolong my pleasure, but often, it's just me and the toast. If I have drank some more than I would have or should have, this will be a late night occurrence, and it will just be one piece of toast, pried off the still frozen loaf in the dark of my kitchen. Ill hold the bread farther from my body, as not to stain some precious evening ensemble. The butter will still be hard and it will melt as I eat the toast. There is no patience in that kind of eating you do to ward off a hangover, or the middle of the night eating that both defines me and threatens my naturally narrow waist at once.

LSB gives a philosophy for where things should go. It says nothing about the exact versions. ISV codes have bugs with some versions of Linux stuff and not others. So LSB certification wouldn't mean very much in the "We tried it and it worked for us" meaning of certification. We find very few clusters with high-speed interconneect using Fedora -- they're mostly on RHEL clones, with a few on SLES. There is a wider variety of compiler customers. -- greg

Reaching a conclusion after reviewing a new flagship card is usually easy – they tend to be great and pricey. However, this time around the results are puzzling and a simple and straightforward conclusion is just not something we could come up with.
Despite unleashing the whole potential of the massive GK110 GPU the card has trouble keeping up with the R9 290X in some tests. It's a case of win some, lose some. One thing is sure – it is certainly not a Radeon R9 290X killer. It runs quieter than AMD in Quiet mode, but it loses in many benchmarks over Radeon R9 290X in Uber mode. In Normal mode, GTX 780 Ti is faster but we can imagine that R9 290X owners will run it in fastest possible way and live with the noise – needless to say enthusiasts will probably get custom cooled R9 290X cards, which could turn the tables around and knock Nvidia's trump card out if its hands.
The Geforce GTX 780 Ti comes with three games and $100 off Shield and if you are a fan of Nvidia technologies including quite neat Geforce Experience, Shadowplay one click HD game recording, Shield PC stream gaming or G-Sync, this is the card for you. On the other hand, the R9 290X has Mantle and TrueAudio support. However, at $699 it costs significantly more than the Radeon R9 290X but again three games in retail would cost you $150+. It all comes down to what sort of games you're after and whether you prefer AMD or Nvidia. There's another issue – at some point AMD could offer Never Settle bundles with the new card.
Bottom line, the Geforce GTX 780 Ti is the fastest Nvidia based graphics card and it will run all games today at great resolutions and high frame rates. If you went for the $999 GTX Titan, it you might not be happy that a card that sells for $200 less is faster, but that's how it's always been in the GPU market. Whatever you chose an R9 290X or GTX 780 Ti you will be able to run your favourite games for at least a couple of years, so we're calling this a tie, although AMD offers better value for money.

With over 350 events, 2,200 DJs and more than 80 clubs and venues, the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) is the largest electronic dance festival in the world. The most high-profile party during this 5-day long event in October is the Amsterdam Music Festival (AMF). The first edition of the AMF took place in 2013 and in less than 2 years this new festival has become a household name in the world of dance music.
The AMF is a 2-day long party. On 16 and 17 October, the Amsterdam ArenA, the home stadium of Amsterdam football team Ajax, will be all about music. Mark your calendar for one of the biggest events in 2015. Big national and international DJs will pack the stage during these 2 days. And of course there is the announcement of the world's best DJ.
This year, the Amsterdam Music Festival will take it to the next level with one of the most impressive artist line-ups of the ADE. Dance pioneers such as Tiësto, David Guetta, Hardwell, Martin Garrix and Armin van Buuren will treat 25,000 music fans from around the world to an amazing party. The biggest dance floor at the ADE will be packed. The 2015 winner of the DJ Mag Top 100 will be announced at the event. The DJ who has the right to use the title 'Best DJ in the World' for the next 12 months usually performs at the AMF.
The AMF has planned a very special event for this year's edition. Armin van Buuren and Tiësto – both voted Best DJ by DJ Mag on numerous occasions – will be performing together at a festival for the first time in many years. Both DJs spend very little time in the Netherlands so it was quite the logistical challenge for the organisation to confirm these 2 superstars for AMF. But they did it. And that in itself is reason enough to attend the Amsterdam Music Festival.

Winter is finally here....sort of. Well it's been really cold lately, cold enough for me to wear this awesome jacket. In fact, it's sort of been my go-to jacket for the past month. So I wanted to also address the topic of layering. When it comes to layering, a lot of people just pile on the layers. Which is a terrible way to layer...well not really, you're technically still layering and keeping warm, but when you do, you're just an fashion onion.
Fash·ion on·ion[fash-yuh n uhn-yuh n]
1. A fashionisto/ta that has plenty of layers of clothes and zero layers of style. And also stinks.
But when it does come to layering, here are a couple tips to keep in mind.
1. Colors (Have coordinating colors, i.e. complements and other colors that go well together)
2. Details/Patterns (Floral dress shirt with a floral v-neck sweater doesn't make you dandy/dapper, it makes you look like a walking shrubbery, which....may be useful at times. but if you're gonna layer prints, most of the time, you'd wanna keep it to a minimum, with maybe just peeks of it to enhance the outfit)
3. Fit (idk how many times I emphasize this, but the fit/size of things really matter, don't wear an incredibly large cardigan with a tiny slim fitting leather jacket)
That's pretty much it that I can think of, I hope it helps! Now go out there and layer my cold stylers! And...hopefully you won't end up looking like a walking bush.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury voters on Tuesday, April 12, will vote for a second time on a $3 million bond issue to finance various road improvement projects throughout town.
The second Australian ballot vote, to take place at the municipal building, is needed to affirm a Town Meeting Day vote of 467 to 158 in favor of the bond. That initial vote was improperly warned and therefore must be ratified.
"It is to take care of the glitch," Middlebury Town Manager Bill Finger said of the second referendum.

Are you looking for that next career challenge but unsure how to get there? Climbing the corporate ladder might not be the only way. According to Robin Mandel, writing for TheLadders, today more than ever, a career detour just might lead to your career destiny. At every level — including the top — professionals, managers, and executives-in-waiting commonly zigzag through several lateral lurches before stepping up to their destination position.
Why has lateral become the new way to the top? The recession is partly to blame — the hierarchy in many companies flattened and compressed during the recession, effectively eliminating rungs that were previously part of the expected climb.
Because of this reality, it has become more important to "think sideways." If you don't plan ahead by considering lateral rotations as part of your career development plan, you may end up stuck on your current ladder rung indefinitely, unless you find a way to take a larger-than-usual step up. Yet paradoxically, exceptional advancement is less likely if you haven't taken the time to boost your experience and confidence with lateral moves.
Cheryl Palmer, career coach and founder of Call to Career, suggested a helpful analogy: "If you're stuck in a traffic jam and it may be hours before you're able to move forward, it makes sense to change lanes and exit on a side road where you can more quickly navigate around it. Sitting in the traffic jam and fuming doesn't get you anywhere."
For advice on how to effectively turn a side step into a step up, TheLadders asked several career-development experts to weigh in.

NASHVILLE - Tennessee Republican Party Chairman Chris Devaney says he is running for reelection as the party's head.
In a letter to state GOP Executive Committee members, the Lookout Mountain resident cites Republican strides in Tuesday's election in which GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney carried Tennessee by some 20 points, although losing nationally.
Devaney also pointed to the easy reelection victory of U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and the state's seven congressman as well as "super majorities" won by Republicans in the state House and Senate.
"These wins were due to the fact that Republicans have a superior message, great volunteers and donors, good candidates, and a Republican Party that works well with our elected leadership," Devaney says in the letter. "Our Party is strong because we have consistently had good leadership at the State Party and have built on the successes over the years."
The GOP's executive committee meets in December.

Prohibition of Guns Would Follow the Same Path as Alcohol
Almost 100 years ago the days of alcohol prohibition swept across the United States. The sale, production and transportation of booze was deemed illegal by the 18th Amendment to the Constitution and the Volstead Act.
A provision for private ownership and consumption was not included in the federal statute, but local law tended to be stricter in many cases. Religious organizations who pushed for the ban rejoiced that the alcohol demon was once and for all exorcised from the public square.
Except it wasn't.
The laws put in place were difficult to enforce. The law was flouted continually and brought about the rise of the American Mafia and other criminal organizations that were more than willing to fill the void.
Also a majority of the public who would drink alcohol were responsible law-abiding citizens. The law was deemed illegitimate because of resultant widespread corruption. Not to mention producing alcohol is actually pretty easy to make on your own.
The Twenty-first Amendment repealed the Eighteenth Amendment in 1933 and alcohol with all its drawbacks is still available today.
Will the next round of "Prohibition" apply to guns in the near future?
The Second Amendment states: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Automatically people refer to bearing arms to mean guns. However, someone could be armed with a knife, grenade, Molotov cocktail, baseball bat, scissors, pepper spray or any other device to deter or induce an attack.
A gun just happens to be one of the choices and an effective one at that as recent events have shown.
In order to counteract that statute, most likely another amendment to repeal the Second Amendment would be needed. Needless to say 36 states would not sign on to ratify such an amendment on a national level.
Then if you look at the prior example of alcohol, enforcement of a firearm ban would be equally as nebulous.
The government at least has a database of people who do it by the book. Those guns the Feds could find without too much trouble.
Even now, those who actually do go through the background check don't tell the truth on the form and Vice President Joe Biden admits that the government doesn't have the time to prosecute those who submit false information on Form 4473. Not to mention the folks who find it unnecessary or tedious to go through a background check would be a little bit harder to find.
The easiest avenue is to look at the body count and pass the blame to a gun. Guns are amoral because they don't care who uses or doesn't use them, much like a brick that could be used to smash a window or build a hospital.
The much harder task is to objectively examine why people have to kill other human beings.

Work off that moussaka with a hike up the most monumental of the Greek mountains – Mount Olympus. Soaring to 2920m, the mountain is swathed in mysticism and majesty, mainly due to its reputation as the home of the Ancient Greek gods. Reaching the peak isn't something you can achieve in an afternoon – you'll need at least two days' trekking, staying overnight in refuges or tents. You don't need to be a climber but you do need to be prepared: it's a tough climb to the summit, and requires a lot of stamina and some degree of caution: the weather may be stiflingly hot at the bottom, but there could still be a blizzard blowing halfway up. Passing sumptuous wildflowers and dense forests on the lower slopes, the rocky, boulder-strewn terrain and hair-raisingly sheer drops of the summit are well worth the struggle. Just watch out for Zeus's thunderbolt on the way up.
The best map to use is Road Edition's no 31 Olympos, 1:50,000.

Which WWE Legend Was Supposed to Be On Raw Last Night?
'The Road to WrestleMania 29' continued on Monday Night Raw last night. The main event featured a panel discussion that tried to put over the Rock/Cena main event, while also trying to give the WWE Hall of Fame some shine at the exact same time.
While Bret Hart, Booker T, Mick Foley, and Dusty Rhodes were all in attendance, it turns out Ric Flair was also meant to make an appearance during the segment. A blood clot forced Nature Boy to the sidelines, and the WWE's doctors sent him home before he could elbow and knee drop the mat for absolutely no reason.
Ric Flair has made a few appearances for the WWE since his reconciliation with the company in 2012, so hopefully this is only a minor issue, and he'll be back on WWE TV in no time.

TOLEDO, OHIO, Aug 23 (Reuters) - When open for business, the
single-story, L-shaped brick building in a run-down west Toledo
neighborhood is usually targeted by sign-toting protesters
pacing the sidewalk across the street while off-duty police
patrol the parking lot.
A sign in a neighbor's window reads: "You Shall Not Murder."
Toledo's Capital Care abortion clinic, the only one in this
rust belt city of 285,000, has become the latest front in the
national battle over abortion rights, this one centering on a
new state law that bars agreements to move women needing
emergency care to public hospitals.
Toledo's clinic may have to close because its transfer
agreement with a public hospital expired last month and under
the new law it cannot renew it.
Abortion clinics in Ohio are required to have so-called
transfer agreements with hospitals under which a patient can be
admitted in case of complications. In 2011, the latest year for
which data is available from the health department,
complications arose in 91 of 24,764 abortions performed in Ohio.
The new law passed by Ohio's Republican-dominated
legislature in June blocks public hospitals from entering into
transfer agreements with abortion clinics. The result is that
clinics either must have arrangements with private hospitals,
since those with public hospitals are barred, or be forced to
close since they would be operating without the required
transfer agreement in place.
Eight other states require abortion clinics to have transfer
agreements, including Nebraska and Wisconsin, and abortion
rights groups fear Ohio's crack down could be replicated
"This is a brand new idea," said Elizabeth Nash, state
issues manager for the Guttmacher Institute, a research group
that supports abortions rights. "It wouldn't be surprising if
next year we saw this restriction appear in other states."
A renewed push by conservative Republicans to put fresh
restrictions on abortion at the state level has resulted in a
rash of new legislation over the past two years. New laws have
ranged from limits on insurance coverage for abortions to
requirements that women considering an abortion undergo an
ultrasound test, during which technicians typically are required
to point out a fetus' visible organs.
Some states have extended waiting periods for those who seek
an abortion, while others have zeroed in on later term
Ohio's law marks yet another approach. Backers of the
legislation say a transfer agreement with a public hospital
amounts to indirect support for abortion, paid by many who
disagree with it.
"We think it's going to protect taxpayers who oppose
abortions," Ohio Right to Life President Michael Gonidakis said.
State Rep. Lynn Wachtmann, a Republican who chairs the House
health committee, helped prepare the language for the transfer
agreement law, which was included as a provision in the budget
"The real issue with any agreement with a public hospital is
the vast majority of the people in Ohio feel that no public
funds or public entities should be supportive of the babykilling
industry," said Wachtmann.
Opponents of the law say it will put women's health at risk,
and decry it as a maneuver to undermine the Supreme Court's 1973
Roe v. Wade ruling establishing the right to abortion. The court
has left the states free to place various restrictions on
Nearly one in ten abortions performed in Ohio in 2011 was in
Lucas County, which includes Toledo, according to the health
department. A second abortion clinic in Toledo closed earlier
this year.
Capital Care Network of Toledo's agreement with the
University of Toledo Medical Center, a public hospital, to
transfer patients in case of complications expired on July 31.
It cannot renew that agreement under the new law.
Ohio's health director, Theodore Wymyslo, told Capital Care
he is proposing revoking the facility's license, and that it has
30 days to request a hearing. His letter was received August 6,
and the clinic had not yet requested a hearing as of Friday,
according to the department.
"We are seeking a way to stay open," said Dr. Thomas
Michaelis, who works at the clinic. "We have lawyers who are
working on this out of our main office in Columbus."
Michaelis said if the clinic closes, women in the area will
have to travel to Detroit, Cleveland or Columbus for abortions.
Terrie Hubbard, identified by the health department as the
owner of Capital Care Network in Columbus, did not respond to
requests for comment.
It was not clear if the new Ohio law would affect the
state's 11 other abortion clinics, since the measure only
directly affects those with transfer agreements with public
hospitals rather than private.
Ohio Right to Life's Gonidakis said he does not know of any
other abortion clinic tied to one of the state's 18 public
hospitals. The health department said it was still reviewing the
measure and its impact on the state's clinics.
Abortion rights groups, however, say the impact of the Ohio
law could be felt beyond the Capital Care clinic.
"It's just a very shrewd way to close abortion clinics,"
said Kellie Copeland, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice
Ohio. "This isn't about patient safety - this is about putting
barriers between women and a safe, legal medical procedure."
A woman waiting at a bus-stop with her infant son near the
Capital Care clinic said she had considered making an
appointment there when she found out she was pregnant again two
months ago. But then she heard the clinic was closing.
"I'm not happy," said the 21-year-old woman, who gave her
name only as "Faye." "They made the decision for me."
