NEW YORK, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Steady rain hit the U.S. Open on Monday, washing out the last match on Arthur Ashe Stadium court featuring five-time champion Roger Federer.
The match between seventh-seeded Federer and unseeded Grega Zemlja of Slovenia will be rescheduled for Tuesday, along with two other men's first-round matches that were halted in progress.
Vasek Pospisil of Canada was leading Brazil's Rogerio Dutra Silva 6-4 6-3 6-7 (9) 0-4 with the winner advancing to a second-round encounter with second-seeded Spaniard Rafa Nadal.
In the other suspended match, Colombia's Santiago Giraldo was leading Carlos Berlocq of Argentina 3-6 6-3 7-6 (6) 2-1. The winner of their contest will meet the winner of the Federer match in the second round.
Light rain began to fall just as top-seeded American Serena Williams completed her 6-0 6-1 thrashing for Italy's Francesca Schiavone on the centre court.
Forecasts were for continuing rain, which led to the decision to call an early end to the Opening Day schedule, officials said.
The U.S. Open has been plagued by rain that has extended the schedule the last five years to a Monday finish.
The championships at Flushing Meadows this year had already been scheduled to end on a Monday.
Prior to Monday's opening match, U.S. Tennis Association officials outlined recently announced plans to put retractable roofs on Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong stadium as part of a massive renovation expected to be finished by 2018 at a cost of $550 million.

The new 14" x 9" Piccolo SFZ (Sforzando) marching snare drum is a full three inches shorter in depth than the standard Yamaha SFZ snare drum. With a short 9" shell depth for a quick snare response, the drum offers a lightweight six-ply birch shell for a clear, articulate projection. The drum shell is manufactured using the unique Yamaha Air Seal System, which ensures the shell starts round and stays round.
Renowned for its distinctive sound, wide dynamic range, and explosive rim shot, the SFZ (Sforzando) marching snare drum incorporates structural innovations that permit the use of a high-tension Kevlar® drumhead. Years in the making, the SFZ was developed and perfected in field tests under the rigors of actual use with The Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps and numerous indoor percussion ensembles. The design offers powerful projection, precise articulation and durable performance.
Maple shells with its performance proven through the numerous DCI championships and High percussion awards won by Yamaha supported marching ensembles, has been chosen for the shells. Original Yamaha high-pressure air bag shell forming technology creates maple shells that exhibit sharp attack and wide dynamic range for complex, expressive sound. The high-pressure air bag shell forming process is an original Yamaha technology that employs evenly distributed air pressure to produce shells that are perfectly round with even thickness throughout. The result is superior tone with excellent attack and projection as well as high durability.
For urgent drumhead changes, the strainer system allows for quick and easy removal of the snare assembly. With the use of FiberTech™ snares, a crisp and articulate sound is obtained while ten independently adjustable strands allow for precise tuning control.
The butt-side strainer uses aluminum die-cast construction for strength without excess weight, and has vertical adjustment capability for a precise setting of snare height. This also houses the independent adjustment for each FiberTech™ snare gut. The release-side strainer uses parts made of die-cast aluminum and durable nylon for a smooth, noise-free operation. An oversized vertical adjustment knob allows adjustment to snare height even when snares are engaged. For a precise setting of the snare tension, the horizontal adjustment knob is within easy reach of the player.
RM-TSFZ Aluminum Carrier
Yamaha Tube Carriers feature a new ergonomic lightweight design. This patented design is the optimal carrier for comfort and adjustability. These tube carriers are adjustable to fit the smallest student to the largest. Features include an Aluminum belly plate, Aluminum tubes, and Shoulder Rotation capabilities. The RMTSFZ aluminum lift-front carrier is made to fit MTS or SFZ marching snare drums.

Poseidon is a 2006 action-adventure disaster film and the third film adaptation of The Poseidon Adventure by Paul Gallico.
Captain Michael Bradford[edit]
- Now we're not sure exactly what happened here, but our best guess is that we were struck by what is known as a rogue wave. They are rare, they are unpredictable, and they are lethal, Now the good news. The instant this ship was struck, emergency GPS locater beacons were launched, so we are at most, several hours from rescue. [People start to panic; a few ask if the ship is sinking] Please, do yourselves a favor. Follow the directions of my officers, and stay calm. This room is a giant air bubble holding up the ship. Once these bulkhead doors are sealed, we will be safe from gas leaks, fire, and flooding. We will be saved.
- [To Connor's mother] You know, normally what you get on these cruise ships is a desperate single woman hoping to meet a guy, and, uh- you sure don't fit the bill.
Robert Ramsey[edit]
- You know, there's nothing fair about who lives and dies. You gave Elena a chance. You have everybody a chance.
- Captain Bradford: You may not leave this ballroom.
- Robert Ramsey: Excuse me?
- Captain Bradford: I am within my authority to compel you to stay, you know that.
- Robert Ramsey: Captain, I understand- you have no choice. You have sick and injured people here, you need to stay with them. [Bradford nods] But I am going to find my daughter, and don't think for one second that you're going to stop me.
- Connor: What are you doing?
- Dylan: Thinking, you?
- Connor: Thinking, what are we thinking about exactly?
- Dylan: Well, I'm thinking of this door, and what's behind it.
- [Connor approaches the door]
- Dylan: Easy there, fireball, we don't know what's behind there.
[A tremendous explosion shakes the ballroom as the leaking gas in the galley explodes]
- Officer: Captain! That sounded like the galley!
- Captain Bradford: Will the doors stay sealed?
- Officer: Yes, Captain.
- Captain Bradford: God rest their souls.

Prediction of cotton yield in Kenya
Josphat Igadwa Mwasiagi‡; Xiu Bao Huang; Xin Hou Wang
Department of Textile Engineering, Donghua University, Shanghai, China
COTTON YIELD IS ONE OF THE INDICATORS for describing agricultural efficiency from different resource management methods in the cotton-growing industry. Selected cotton-growing cost factors were used to design an artificial neural network model to predict cotton yield in Kenya. This neural network model was able to predict cotton yield with a satisfactory performance error of 0.204 kg/ha and a regression correlation coefficient between network output and actual yield of 0.945.
Cotton can be grown in all the eight provinces of Kenya and especially in the semi-arid regions where few other commercial crops are viable. The Kenyan cotton-processing industry has an installed capacity of over 120 000 bales of cotton lint per year, which is able to meet half of the national demand for cotton products. Kenya has consistently produced less than 30 000 bales of cotton lint annually since 1990, so the country is a net importer of the commodity, causing adverse strain on its foreign exchange reserves.
Crop yield is one of the indicators for describing agricultural efficiency arising from different resource management methods. The need to monitor cotton yield in Kenya is essential, given that cotton-growing and yields have undergone an unprecedented decline in the last ten years. Cotton yield forecasts, a few weeks before harvest time, can be of strategic importance for advance trade planning, in order to pre-empt national cotton lint demand, and rationalize cotton lint ginning and marketing. An effective cotton yield model can also be useful for analysis of factors that affect cotton agriculture in a region. The main factors that influence cotton yield are government policies, crop husbandry methods and cotton price.13 Crop husbandry methods such as land preparation, the type and quantity of fertilizers used, and weed and pest control methods, have been reported to have a primary influence on cotton quality and yield.46
Cotton yield can be predicted using satellite forecasting.7,8 This method makes use of the latest technologies in surveillance and data collection, and is set to replace traditional means of crop prediction. While prediction of cotton yield using satellite forecasting is gaining popularity, especially in the main cotton-producing countries, there are other, less-affluent countries where the cotton-growing industry struggles to survive, and a cheaper yet effective forecasting method is still needed. Such a method will serve as an interim measure for a struggling cotton-growing industry to rationalize itself and achieve a requisite level of competitiveness.
Kenya, being mainly an agricultural economy, has a well-established ministry of agriculture, spreading its operations over the entire country. The district agricultural officers (DAOs), at district level, are responsible for collection of specific data pertaining to all agricultural crops grown in their area. These data are archived at district, provincial and national levels. We have undertaken a study of the data for cotton growing from 1996 to 2003. The cost factors that influence cotton growth, together with corresponding yields have been used to predict cotton yield by means of an artificial neural network (ANN) model.
Materials and methods
Cotton-growing data were accessed from district agricultural officers in all the cotton-growing regions in Kenya. Data volumes from a given cotton region correlated with the amount of cotton grown in that region. This ensured that the data in hand were statistically representative of the local industry. There are three cotton-growing regions in the country: eastern/central (e/c), coastal (c) and western (w). Their respective percentages of cotton lint production for the eight years from 1996 to 2003 were 54%, 15% and 31%. Corresponding records of data collected from the eastern/central, coastal and western regions were 39, 11 and 22, respectively. The DAOs normally collect cost factor data, crop yields and prices that were paid for all the crops grown in a given district. We identified a total of ten cost factors within the archived cotton-growing data. These cost factors are ploughing (plo), harrowing (hr), seed cost (sd), fertilizer cost (ft), planting (pla), weeding (we), pesticide cost (pes), harvesting (ha), transportation to the ginnery (tr), as well as other miscellaneous expenses (ot). These factors, together with the related crop yields, form the main core of our data, from which we correlated production costs with crop yields using our ANN yield prediction model. The aim in designing the model was to create a predictive tool for cotton yield before harvest-time. Seven cost factorsploughing, harrowing, seeds, fertilizers, planting, weeding and pesticideswere selected, being data that a DAO collects from the farmers prior to harvest. The input and output vectors were 72 × 7 and 72 × 1, respectively. A back-propagation feed-forward ANN, with one hidden layer was used, and the number of neurons in the hidden layer varied from 2 to 20 in steps of two. The performance of the ANN was assessed using root mean squared error (RMSE),9 defined in Equation (1), where N is the number of inputoutput pairs, y is the cotton yield and ŷ is the ANN output (predicted cotton yield). RMSE has the same units as the factor being predicted.
Whereas RMSE can be used to measure the performance of an ANN, it is also useful to investigate the network response in more detail.10 One option is to perform a regression analysis between the network response (ŷ) and the corresponding targets (y). In this investigation we have performed a regression between y and (ŷ) and report the correlation coefficient (R-value) between the outputs and targets.
Results and discussion
Cost factors. The contribution of the cost factors to the cost of growing cotton lint in Kenya during the study period is given in Fig. 1. The four biggest cost items are weeding (we), harvesting (ha), ploughing (plo) and pesticides (pes). Ploughing and harrowing are land preparation, their combined contribution being 23%, making land preparation the largest cost component in the Kenyan cotton-growing industry.
The cost factors for the three cotton-growing regions in Kenya are given in Fig. 2. From the yields, illustrated in Fig. 3, it can be inferred that the eastern/central region is comparatively better at optimizing cost factors to generate higher yields. The western region has low costs, but with low cotton yield, whereas the coastal region features as a highly variable average performer, when compared with the two other regions.
Prediction of cotton yield. Table 1 gives the performance of the cotton yield prediction ANN model. The optimum ANN has 12 neurons and can predict cotton yield with a favourable error (RMSE) of 0.204 kg/ha. The regression correlation coefficient between the predicted and actual yield is 0.945. This deems the model to be a reliable tool for the purposes that have been discussed.

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares rose on Friday, touching a record high after the company said some customers must wait two to three weeks for the new, slimmer, faster iPhone 5, suggesting strong global demand for the smartphone that accounts for half of its revenue.
Continue Reading Below
Apple's U.S. store, at www.apple.com, was projecting shipments for the iPhone 5 would take two weeks to fulfill, with analysts saying the date slipped within an hour of the start of presales.
The company's website showed buyers in United Kingdom, France and Germany would have to wait as much as three weeks to receive orders when the iPhone 5 starts shipping next Friday, the first day of deliveries.
However, AT&T Inc (NYSE:T), Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE:VZ) and Sprint Nextel Corp (NYSE:S) -- the three US carriers who will sell the iPhone 5 -- kept showing availability for delivery next Friday.
The new model would also be available in Apple's stores next Friday for walk-in purchase. Retailers like Wal-Mart Stores Inc (NYSE:WMT) and Best Buy Co (NYSE:BBY)are also taking preorders for the new iPhone at their stores.
"Clearly, iPhone 5 fever is in full swing," Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White said.
"When you do a pre-order, the last thing you want to do is upset customers, so obviously they are overwhelmed with the demand. No one wants to sell out in an hour."
Apple shares rose 2 percent at mid-day to $696.68 in heavy trading on the Nasdaq. The shares earlier touched an all-time high of $696.98.
Apple began taking orders for the iPhone 5 at midnight Pacific Time (0700 GMT) on Friday, with shipments set to begin on Sept 21. The smartphone is being rolled out in phases and will be sold in 100 countries by the end of the year.
The iPhone 5 sports a 4-inch "retina" display, supports the high-speed 4G LTE wireless network, and is 20 percent lighter than the previous iPhone 4S.
It is not unusual for Apple products to sell out the first day. Orders for the previous iPhone 4S, the last product the company introduced before the death of co-founder Steve Jobs, surpassed 1 million in the first 24 hours, beating Apple's previous one-day record of 600,000 sales for the iPhone 4.
Analysts have expressed surprise at how quickly Apple planned to roll out the new model around the world, saying this was the fastest rollout of the phone since it launched in 2007. On average, Wall Street analysts are forecasting that Apple may sell well over 42 million units by the end of the year.
But some analysts said the early sell-out may also point to a potential supply crunch.
"We believe the fast sell out indicates both high levels of demand and constrained supply," said Shannon Cross, analyst with Cross Research, an independent research house.
"However, given that the company announced an aggressive rollout schedule, we assume management's plan includes a rapid increase in production," Cross said.
One of Apple's key suppliers for screens Sharp Corp is struggling with high costs and is scrambling to raise funds to pay its debts.
The Japanese company, which is the midst of negotiating a deal with Apple's largest contract manufacturer Hon Hai to buy a stake in the struggling company, has fallen behind schedule on production of screens for Apple's latest iPhone, a source had told Reuters in late August.
The source, who is familiar with Sharp's production operations, did not give an indication of how far behind the output had fallen.
Apple was not immediately available for comment.

KAZAN, RUSSIA — Tar Heel Swimmer Stephanie Peacock is making noise in the pool. Peacock snagged her second medal of the 2013 World University Games on Monday. This time, she paired a little bit of silver with her gold.
Placing second in the 800-meter freestyle event after winning a gold medal in the 1500-meter freestyle on Saturday was an impressive feat for Peacock.
In fact, Peacock just missed seeing more gold on Monday as she touched the wall just .12 behind Martina de Memme of Italy. And Peacock wasn't the only American on the podium. Ashley Steenvoorden of the USA picked up the bronze medal on Monday and was runner-up to Peacock on Saturday.
"We're extremely proud of what Stephanie has accomplished at the World University Games," said UNC head coach Rich DeSelm. "The amount of racing she has done in the past four days at the meet has been a formidable task and she has excelled at an elite level, winning a gold and a silver for the USA and representing Carolina in a first-class manner. She has one more race ahead and I know her focus in the next 24 hours will be outstanding as she seeks a third medal."
Peacock is the first Tar Heel to win multiple medals at an international swimming competition since Whitney Sprague in 2009.
Peacock's last race will be in the 400-meter freestyle set to go on Tuesday.

Candidate presented by Dr. Jeff Snell, Special Advisor to the President
William Drayton is the founder of Ashoka: Innovators for the Public, a foundation dedicated to supporting and linking individuals who create positive, sustainable, innovative solutions for daunting social challenges. Ashoka's mission is to build a collaborative, global "citizen sector" that fosters society and world-changing ideas, led by individuals aptly named social innovators and social entrepreneurs.
After receiving his Master of Arts degree from Oxford University and his law degree from Yale University Law School, Mr. Drayton combined his interests of economics, law, and management to work in public policy. He then founded Ashoka in 1980 with an annual budget of $50,000. The first class of Ashoka Fellows – social entrepreneurs leading innovative solutions to break cycles of dependency and increase human capability around the world – was elected the next year. Today Ashoka employs 300 staff, has a budget exceeding $40 million, operates in 35 regional offices around the globe, and supports the work of nearly 3,000 Fellows in more than 70 countries.
Mr. Drayton and Ashoka's programs invest in the potential of young adults gaining experience as agents of positive social change during their formative youth years, as evidenced by Ashoka's Youth Venture initiative and Ashoka U.
This past year Marquette University was selected (with Duke and Arizona State Universities) as one of only ten "Changemaker Campuses" that are considered key members of Ashoka's global network and community. Marquette's selection played a role in the Office of the Provost's Social Entrepreneurship Initiative, an ongoing cross-campus, interdisciplinary exploration that includes introducing social innovation as a tool for engaged learning and framework for life, as well as a regional convening role in social innovation.
Mr. Drayton has received extensive recognition for his visionary leadership in social innovation and social entrepreneurship. Recently he was honored with an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Yale University; named a Preiskel-Silverman Fellow for Yale Law School; and received Yale School of Management's annual Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence. Additionally, he has received the National Public Service Award and the Public Service Achievement Award. In 2005 he was selected one of America's Best Leaders by U.S. News & World Report and, in 2006, was named one of Harvard University's 100 "Most Influential Alumni."
The wide-ranging, positive social value generated by Ashoka and its social entrepreneurs is beyond comprehension. Indeed, millions of lives – often the most vulnerable and impoverished – have been positively impacted, demonstrating high alignment between increased human capability as a key outcome of social innovation and Marquette's Jesuit mission and identity.
As Mr. Drayton has observed, "When it comes to systemic change and attacking root causes of social problems, it's more than just teaching a man to fish . . . it's about creating new fishing industries."
Reverend President, because he embodies the Marquette motto "Be the Difference" and has devoted his life to equipping thousands of others who seek to do the same, serving as a leader in the global fields of social innovation and social entrepreneurship, I hereby recommend William Drayton for the Marquette University degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa.

QUESTION: I am in the process of building a Zodiac 601 XL and intend on using an 0-235 Lycoming engine. My question: Can you use the Amsoil synthetic engine oil in this, or any other piston aircraft engine, without any problems?
Steve Dunn
Elwood, Ind.
ANSWER: Steve, congratulations on your Zodiac 601 project. It's good to see you are asking questions before rather than after the fact. With regard to oils used in Lycoming engines, this entire subject is covered in Lycoming Service Instruction 1014M. While Amsoil is not specifically mentioned, as long as it meets or exceeds the specifications set forth in SI 1014M, its use would be OK. You must be certain it meets the Mil Spec. MIL-L-22851 or SAE Spec. SAE J1899 listed in the publication.
I believe Amsoil would fall under the category of an ashless dispersant type oil, so it should meet the specifications.
If you are unable to verify it meets these specifications, I wouldn't take any chances. Instead, go with any good aviation grade oil that does meet the specifications.
I'll wrap this up by making one of my favorite comments about engines: ""The two least expensive things you can put into your engine are gas and oil.""
Paul McBride, recognized worldwide as an expert on engines, retired after almost 40 years with Lycoming. Send your questions to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

JERUSALEM — Israel says it has successfully tested an upgraded radar for the Arrow missile defense system, developed with the United States and designed to intercept projectiles that might be fired at the Jewish state from Iran.
Defense official Yair Ramati says the test was conducted on Friday in conjunction with the U.S. Missile Defense Agency.
He says the purpose of the test was to validate the system's improved radar.
He said a Blue Sparrow 2 missile was fired west to east from "deep within the Mediterranean" but he would not say how far from Israel it was fired or what sort of threat it was designed to simulate.
A defense ministry statement says the Blue Sparrow was "representative of potential ballistic missile threats facing Israel." -The Huffington Post
In light of the interesting developments with today's economical stability foundations, I find it even more interesting that you have Israel building and testing a new missile defense system in a soup of 151 billion dollars in debt. This, of course does not accountably amount to the $15.4 trillion that the United States is under. But, this still poses an interesting set of events that may signal something of a larger situation in the future. Most people don't realize, but in order for someone to get a new desk in a government building it takes(just about)an act of congressional approval. Anything associated with governmental spending, control, or legislation takes significant and detailed planning on the parts of the delegated people in those positions of power. With this in mind, you must take into consideration the recent release by RIA regarding the successful testing of a new missile defense system by Israel. In order for this to come into nationwide play, many many steps had to be played out in direct succession and accordance to Israeli governmental protocol. After realizing this, you could imagine for just a moment what this could mean. For if the government of Israel went through all of the systematic steps to produce, fund, and test a Block 4 stage of the interceptor that will soon enter service with the Israeli Air Force (IAF). Estimates are that they bought half a dozen missiles. Including some nuclear tipped Sunburn missiles for the US battle groups, from Russia. The plans that are subsequential to these actions give into the assumption that the Israeli government believes they are in need of such powerful weapons. Conclusively, you must take into consideration that for a country that is nearly $200 Billion in debt to create such expensive weaponry, is possibly equal to a country that is $15 Trillion in debt continuing to participate in a war lasting for 12 years.

Your Winter Wonderland is a stunner! The quilting pattern you chose couldn't be any more perfect. And I love how the quilting thread just disappears and lets the embroidery be the star, just lending those little sworls give the impression of a cold wind blowing through. Gorgeous!

I've wanted to make this beauty ever since I laid eyes on it a couple of years ago. Now, seeing your finished quilt, tells me that I should bite the bullet and order the pattern. I love handwork and can see myself passing the time in the evenings working on the stitched blocks.
Great job, Candace...and the quilting suits it perfectly!
- October 17, 2011 at 6:40 AM
- sunny said...
Amazing! What a great project you chose when you needed to do handwork. If that was mine, I'd be praying for a blizzard! I also love the quilt in your header. Is it an original pattern?

This is just spectacular Candace! Tell me, as I have never quilted on an embroidery before...can you just quilt right over the redwork? It sure doesn't show so I am guessing it does. I am going to try doing a redwork quilt someday. Glad you and Vinnie are bonding so well.

Beautiful job! I made that quilt also, but mine is still waiting to be quilted. You've inspired me to get it out and try to get at it before this winter is over! Wasn't it fun to do? I made that one, and then Hocus-Pocusville (the Halloween one) and am working on the winter one. I love doing the stitcheries, but drag my feet with the finishing. None of them is finished yet! You did a great job with yours.
- October 17, 2011 at 4:08 PM
- Anne said...
Now you've done it....you have made me want to get mine out and get it finished! I have all the stitching done and have to make the outer blocks. Love your quilting. Way to go girl!

Excellent news, Candace! Hope you are fully stuffed with pride at your very own beautifully machine quilted-by-you treasure. I'm sure the happy scenes will continue to make you smile for many many years to come.

I love your "winter wonderland" quilt. I love the combination of embroidery and quilt blocks and the pattern you used for the quilting.

Electronics from the Bottom Up: an educational initiative on 21st century electronics
Published on
In the 1960's, a group of leaders from industry and academia, recognized that the age of vacuum tubes was ending and that engineers would have to be educated differently if they were to realize the opportunities that the new field of microelectronics presented. The Semiconductor Electronics Education Committee eventually produced seven undergraduate textbooks and four films and reshaped the teaching of electronics. Today, MOSFET channel lengths have shrunk by a factor of 100 and microelectronics has become nanoelectronics, but we still teach students very much as they were taught 30 years ago. Research on molecular-scale electronics is giving us a new understanding of nanoscale devices, but this new knowledge is largely absent from the semiconductor engineering curriculum. A plethora of new electronic device technologies are being explored, and, in many cases, they are not well-described by the conventional tools of the trade. We believe that the time has come to introduce a new approach to understanding electronic devices. The "Electronics from the Bottom Up" series will produce a set of educational modules that introduce a new, and very general, way of understanding small electronic devices. This presentation discusses the rationale for this initiative and outlines our plans.

The deal was announced quietly, just before the holidays, almost like the government was hoping people were too busy hanging stockings by the fireplace to notice. Flooring politicians, lawyers and investigators all over the world, the U.S. Justice Department granted a total walk to executives of the British-based bank HSBC for the largest drug-and-terrorism money-laundering case ever. Yes, they issued a fine – $1.9 billion, or about five weeks' profit – but they didn't extract so much as one dollar or one day in jail from any individual, despite a decade of stupefying abuses.
People may have outrage fatigue about Wall Street, and more stories about billionaire greedheads getting away with more stealing often cease to amaze. But the HSBC case went miles beyond the usual paper-pushing, keypad-punching sort-of crime, committed by geeks in ties, normally associated with Wall Street. In this case, the bank literally got away with murder – well, aiding and abetting it, anyway.
For at least half a decade, the storied British colonial banking power helped to wash hundreds of millions of dollars for drug mobs, including Mexico's Sinaloa drug cartel, suspected in tens of thousands of murders just in the past 10 years – people so totally evil, jokes former New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, that "they make the guys on Wall Street look good." The bank also moved money for organizations linked to Al Qaeda and Hezbollah, and for Russian gangsters; helped countries like Iran, the Sudan and North Korea evade sanctions; and, in between helping murderers and terrorists and rogue states, aided countless common tax cheats in hiding their cash.
"They violated every goddamn law in the book," says Jack Blum, an attorney and former Senate investigator who headed a major bribery investigation against Lockheed in the 1970s that led to the passage of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. "They took every imaginable form of illegal and illicit business."
That nobody from the bank went to jail or paid a dollar in individual fines is nothing new in this era of financial crisis. What is different about this settlement is that the Justice Department, for the first time, admitted why it decided to go soft on this particular kind of criminal. It was worried that anything more than a wrist slap for HSBC might undermine the world economy. "Had the U.S. authorities decided to press criminal charges," said Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer at a press conference to announce the settlement, "HSBC would almost certainly have lost its banking license in the U.S., the future of the institution would have been under threat and the entire banking system would have been destabilized."

Rapper Flo Rida is back with a video for 'Let It Roll,' and instead of opting for a sexy club scene or hot party, he chose to film on the boardwalk of Miami Beach; he's clearly representing the state which gave him his moniker!
His newest and latest single off his album 'Wild Ones' features the rapper on sneaker skates (as if that's a real thing), moseying around with a bunch of beautiful women, because, when in Miami, do as Flo Rida would do, right?!
The video is pretty tame compared to his other vids, and features some serious jetlev and go-cart skills on behalf of Flo Rida himself and the extras. This just leaves us with one question: why wouldn't the official video be released in the summer, when we could actually do all of these cool things?
The answer? Back in June Flo Rida released a video for the same song featuring YouTube sensation Keith Apicary; if only he had switched the release dates!

Significant achievement
Like a good wine, Dallas Lewis' golf game seems to get better with age. Lewis continues to make a habit of shooting at, or below, his age. Last week he did it with flair by scoring an eagle two on the eighth hole, followed by birdies on No. 10 and No. 12 at Butte Creek CC for a score of 79. Attesting to his fine round were his playing companions Carl Martellaro, Jim Gaumer and Darold Adamson.
Rumor has it that Dick Brooks also recently shot his age of 70 at Butte Creek CC.

Rockskipper needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 175 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
Rockskipper Photography
We specialize in sailing action photography as well as other outdoors sports (running, hiking, kayaking etc.), exotic travel, nature and the outdoors in general. http://www.rockskipper.net
Rockskipper has 3 distinct meanings:
1) The act of skipping a smooth, flat stone on the water
2) A person skipping, hiking on rocks
3) A very cute kind of fish http://www.rockskipper.com/For-Frie…2014_xXtHd
Our largest market is the sailboat racing community, but we also focus on other outdoor sports and exotic travel destinations. We need a modern logo that conveys a simple and organic image.
The logo should play off the Rockskipper brand - think of skipping rocks on the water, reflections, ripples. Also the possibility of a person skipping (hiking, climbing, running) on rocks.
The design should be simple, unique, and recognizable, but general enough to use for multiple target audiences (sailing, travel, the outdoors, underwater)
The logo should play off the Rockskipper brand - think of skipping rocks on the water, reflections, ripples. Also the possibility of a person skipping (hiking, climbing, running) on rocks - or a cartoon of the Rockskipper fish (see link above).
The graphic should be able to stand alone without the text.
No pre-conceived color scheme
We plan to use the logo in various applications so it needs to reproduce well:
* in different sizes
* on different materials (e.g t-shirts, hats)
* and in grayscale
* we may want to add a tagline or photographer's name occassionally, so the design should have room to accomodate it
* It should be usable on the right or left side of a page
* No clipart
Formats (all should be provided)
* CMYK image in Adobe Illustrator
* Layered RGB file in Photoshop PSD
* Jpeg and Png versions
* Fonts used in the design

STEVENSON, Wash. (AP) — A man told authorities responding to an early morning explosion that he blew up his dog because an ex-girlfriend had "put the devil in it," a Skamania County sheriff's deputy said in court papers.
Christopher Dillingham, 45, of Stevenson, also told deputies he was preparing for "the rapture" as he tossed a couch and other household items onto his lawn after the explosion early Sunday, Deputy Jordan Ejde wrote in an affidavit.
Dillingham was held on $500,000 bail after he appeared in court Monday to face two counts of reckless endangerment and one count of possessing an explosive device for an unlawful purpose, the Oregonian reported. It was not known Monday night whether he was represented by a lawyer.
Skamania County Prosecutor Adam Kick said his office was still considering charges in the death of the dog.
Dillingham's next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 15.
Deputies responded to reports from neighbors of a loud explosion at 3:45 a.m. Sunday and found the dead dog on the man's property in a semi-rural area on the outskirts of Stevenson, Undersheriff Dave Cox said.
According to Ejde's affidavit, Dillingham told deputies he made the device from black powder taken from fireworks. Dillingham owns a fireworks business and operates a stand at Stevenson every Fourth of July, Cox said.
Dillingham reportedly said he distracted the dog with treats as he put the device on the animal, which had been given to him by an ex-girlfriend.
Cox said investigators believe the device was attached to the large dog's collar. The undersheriff said the dog died instantly.
The Metro bomb squad from Vancouver and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives assisted deputies.

Shariah policemen speak to a student who was caught playing games in an Internet cafe during school hours in Banda Aceh, in Indonesia's Aceh province. The boy was given a morality lecture and forced onto a shariah patrol truck to be taken back to school, where he faced humiliation from other students and teachers.
Female members of the Wilayatul Hisbah shariah police get instructions from a commander before going on patrol in Banda Aceh.
Photos and text by Damir Sagolj, Reuters — Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim nation, but nowhere is the faith more strictly interpreted than in Aceh, sometimes referred to as the "verandah of Mecca" because it was one of the first parts of the archipelago to turn to Islam.
Aceh, which was hit by a tsunami in 2004 that killed an estimated 130,000 in the province, is Indonesia's only district to have implemented shariah, or Islamic law. This is something that occurred for complicated reasons, some of which go well beyond the religion itself and have more to do with Acehnese tradition, the long struggle for independence and conflict with outside forces, Jakarta included.

Formed to implement shariah law, Wilayatul Hisbah, which is the official name for the shariah police, is spread across the province working in small units, patrolling and conducting occasional raids. The units are made up of different kinds of people – some of them claim to be on a mission, others just needed a job.
The set of laws in force in Aceh is just a smaller part of what would be full shariah implementation, covering all levels of society. At present, the shariah package in Aceh targets only those violating the Muslim dress code, illicit behavior, drinking and gambling.

Dating can be particularly hazardous — under shariah, it is a crime for an unmarried man and woman who are not related by blood to associate in an "isolated place." As a consequence, it has become increasingly popular for young couples to get to know each other using social networks like Facebook. Read more at Reuters' Photographers Blog.

Winda Wahyuni kisses the hand of her husband, Ahmad Yasir Saputra, after they got married in a mosque in Banda Aceh. Winda and Ahmad Yasir, who met a year ago on Facebook, married in a religious ceremony in a local mosque. Dating on social networks has become increasingly popular in Aceh due to the restrictions that shariah places on unmarried men and women.

A man is seen from inside a house in Banda Aceh that was destroyed in the 2004 tsunami. Some residents near the sea believe the tsunami that killed an estimated 130,000 people in Aceh province was a punishment from God for those who broke Islamic laws, and they fear it might happen again.

Acehnese Protestants attend an early Christmas mass in their church in Banda Aceh. Although it is complicated to build a new Christian church in the predominantly Muslim province, Father Amrin Sihotang of HKBP Protestant church said his community has no problems with strict Islamic laws as long "as we follow the rules."
Young people relax at Ulhee Ilhue beach in Banda Aceh. The gates of the beach close every day at 6 p.m. to prevent people violating Islamic law. Asked about shariah police who often patrol the beach looking for violators, one of the youngsters said, "I don't like them. They simply disturb me."

Members of a punk band named Trotoar Chaos are shown in Banda Aceh. Although they say they have been punished and had their hair shaved in the past by police, the young musicians remain defiant and insist they will stay in Aceh. One of them commented on a 2011 incident in which he was punished after being caught among 65 other punks at a concert: "There is a big change after that. Now I want to fight more."
A member of the Wilayatul Hisbah tells a man he should stop eating his lunch and go to the mosque just before Friday prayers in Banda Aceh. Besides patrolling with their male colleagues every day looking for those who violate shariah, female police officers drive through the town just before Friday prayers urging businesses to close and demanding that men go to pray.

text: Imho, the I/O workload in databases are dominated by random, small block-sized requests. In order to cater such I/O pattern, nodes hosting databases tend to have large caches (RAM) and are SMP-based. The database software implement proprietary storage/access policies for high performance. In this sense, databases mostly require block-device interface from the storage system than file-system interface. File-system interface should also work although performance-wise, you tend to add additional layer and are restricted by file system storage policies. The pros is that file-system aggregates the storage and provides a single namespace, making it easier to manage + backup the data. In terms of block-devices, SAN provides low latency, high bandwidth, and high availability ideal for database environment. For moderates prices, iSCSI SAN may be used instead of FC SAN. SAN also makes management of block-devices easier. The only caveat is that the maximum size of the block-device is 2TB in 2.4 kernel. 2.6 kernel extends this to 16TB. PVFS/Lustre are currently tuned for HPC style applications which are dominated by large, contiguous I/O requests and the file-system striping policies helps to provide higher bandwidth. However, for small-sized requests, striping may not prove beneficial. Also, most file-systems use TCP/IP, hence the network layer latency can affect database performance. MPI-IO interface may be used to optimize non-contiguous, smaller requests through its datatype and file-view features. Newer PVFS/Lustre versions offer native implementation for low-latency interconnects like Myrinet, IB, or Quadrics, however, the stability of the file-system needs to be studied. Consistency, intergrity, and availability of data cannot be compromised in databases. Current PVFS/Lustre versions stripes files across their I/O nodes in RAID-0 pattern. Going down another level, hardware or software RAID 1/5 can be performed at the disk level, resulting in file system providing RAID 10/50. However, the failure of a single I/O nodes might lead to temporary loss (data in cache)/unavailability of file-data until the node is revived. RAID1/5 across I/O nodes is planned in future versions. Price, Performance, Availability, Manageability, and Consistency of file-data need to weighed when architecting the Database solution.
