They were trying to vote for their favorite singing contestants on the hit Fox TV show "American Idol." It's not clear why the calls were routed to Gordy's for two hours Wednesday night, the The Peninsula Daily News reported. The number the show advertised for voters — 855-443-6411 — is not similar to the number the pizzeria has had for the past 50 years. According to the show, viewers nationwide cast more than 71 million votes Wednesday night. The restaurant's owner, Randy Sexton, said his staff was inundated with calls — "a frenzy of ring, ring, ring, ring, ring" — and answered every one as if it were a customer. He hopes the snafu gets fixed before next Wednesday's episode. A spokeswoman for "American Idol," now in its 13th season said efforts were being made to fix the problem. Sexton said a mistake may have been made — possibly a keyboard typo — when voters' calls were routed through AT&T. Most of the calls seemed to be from the East Coast, he said. Sandy Bennett, who set up and manages the show's voting system, did not have an explanation, according to an email she sent to Wave Broadband in an effort to address the problem. Bennett is the general manager of Los Angeles-based Telescope, "a provider of audience participation, consumer engagement and social television solutions," according to its website. She suggested blocking out-of-state calls to Gordy's during show nights, subject to Sexton's approval. "The purpose of this is to prevent the misdials/routed calls from flooding Mr. Sexton's lines and interrupting his business while we continue to work on investigating the cause," Bennett said. Bennett also suggested placing a trap on the line to detect the number that "American Idol" voters are actually dialing. "While they say they are calling 855-443-6411, it's quite possible it's something similar and is somehow tied to the pizza company," Bennett wrote. Sexton was not happy about the prospect of another night of frenzied phone calls from "American Idol" fans. The show has 12 episodes remaining this season. "I have three months of potential challenge if they don't figure out how to reroute or unroute calls in a different way," he said.

Looks familiar: Chris Brown's latest tattoo 'sickening'
A new tattoo on singer Chris Brown's neck looks eerily familiar.
The face etched on his skin has a black eye, bulging lips, cuts and scratches - much like the damage he caused to Rihanna's face during a brutal attack in 2009.
The shocking choice of tattoo has made headlines on gossip sites around the world after he was photographed at a Las Vegas event earlier this month.
But Brown's publicist has told Entertainment Weekly it's not Rihanna, rather a picture based on a MAC cosmetics design inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead.
This morning he tweeted: "I'm an artist and this is art. Dia de los Muertos".
The Spanish words mean "Day of the Dead".
The Women's Blog, published on The Guardian website, said the tattoo was "sickening".
Writer Kira Cochrane said if the tattoo was not meant to be Rihanna, then Brown should find a new tattoo artist.
"Because there's no doubt the image calls to mind the biggest scandal of his career, looks absolutely like a pummeled woman, and is in those terms completely sickening," Cochrane wrote.
"What's also depressing is that if this is, in fact, the intention, it would actually mark a natural next step in Brown's career path.
"While he might have been expected to be contrite in the wake of the 2009 attack, he has actually built a strong and burgeoning profile by embracing a bad boy image."
In June 2009 Brown pleaded guilty to a felony and accepted a plea deal of probation, community service and domestic violence counselling.

Scrambled or poached eggs are always welcome, but lately I've gone back to my childhood roots in more kitchen ways than one. The soft boiled egg is the current vogue in my house, sprinkled with salt and pepper and served with soldiers made from proper bread.
A cooked breakfast is a thing of pleasure, and leisure, and generally much more enjoyable when someone else cooks it for you. Somehow a breakfast spread seems the right way to start the day, particularly on holiday or at the weekend. It's a meal to celebrate, rather than a chore to get through. Even at seven on a grey mid-week morning, I will still make an effort to eat something delicious – porridge with summer berries and honey perhaps, or toast with homemade whisky marmalade.
On a recent break away in Berkshire at The Queen's Arms breakfast was proper – little pots of fruit compote with vanilla flecked yogurt, a real cooked breakfast and a range of jams and conserves to rival my own collection (which takes some doing – I am a condiment collector!).
Pleasant surprise of the morning went to granola bars – which sound far too healthy to be so delicious. Chewy and dense with fruit and oats, these are a treat, and the chef was kind enough to let me steal the recipe, after I became somewhat addicted to them!
Granola Bars
• 500g rolled oats
• 125g pitted prunes, quartered
• 125g dried apricots, quartered
• 100g pecans, quartered
• 90g sunflower seeds
• 90g pumpkin seeds
• 125g sesame seeds
• ½ dessert spoon mixed spice
• ½ dessert spoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• 350g runny honey
• 125g light brown sugar
• 340g butter
• 1 lemon, juice & zest
Weigh out the dry ingredients together, chopping the apricots and pecans roughly.
Melt the honey, butter, sugar and lemon juice and zest in a pan over a low heat.
Mix all the ingredients together and place into a tray lined with silicon paper, smooth over the top and sprinkle with a little more sesame seeds.
Bake at 170°C for 15 minutes then remove and allow to cool.
When cooled cut into bars 3cm x 8cm.

Risks can be foreseeable and unforeseeable. In both cases, astute project managers are prepared with some means of dealing with them. Many risk management plans address only foreseeable risks and fail to address the unforeseeable ones. For that reason, project planning must include a degree of schedule, cost, and scope margin.
Michael Taylor, a project manager with more than 30 years of experience, suggests that the most effective way to manage project risks is to adopt a process that systematically deals with the overall problem of uncertain events and conditions that might affect a project's objectives. This process involves the following five steps.

Zero-copy at the transport level doesn't translate into zero-copy in the MPI application.

Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Jeff McLane said they have not been ruled out yet.
"We're not listing them as out," head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder told reporters, according to the team's official website. "They're still very much alive for things and we'll see how they do today and take it day by day."
Vick and McCoy still must be cleared by an independent neurologist and the team doctor before they play. It's highly unlikely that Vick and McCoy will play, but the Eagles haven't made it official yet. With the Eagles playing Thursday, there's only one day left to be fully cleared and get a contact practice in.
There's no reason to rush them back with the Eagles officially eliminated from the playoffs.

So I mentioned last week I was trying out the Harcombe diet which on paper sounded easy. No carbs, no sugars, no tea or coffee, no milk…and a whole host of other things
which make life worth living.
Anyway here's a few things that have been helping me (I say that but the scales will tell me the truth on Friday!).
This is Baby Gomez, who is now 18 months. She (yes She) is a snacker. Crisps, chocolate, coke.
Anyway, just quickly a few things that I've been taking and have been helping with project weight loss.
I hope to lose a fair amount of weight – unfortunately I carry fat quite well so in a sense it takes away the motivation to go on a strict diet but I am determined! Pig Farmers everywhere! Watch your profits drop!
Things I have been taking/eating –
1. Pukka Weight Balance Supplements
There are so many supplements around, at the moment I am taking these Pukka ones because they are specifically to aide with weight loss and are quite natural.
I dig Pukka – they have some nice teas too.
2. Teas!
I love loose leaf green tea (soooooooo much nicer than tea bagged green tea I promise you).
I also like Oolong Tea which is a Chinese tea – its been touted on the internet for quite a lot of money but just buy this from the Chinese supermarket for 80p. You get a big box, it lasts forever.
I also have been drinking this:
Pukka 3 mint tea (not plugging Pukka by the way) – I like this with a squeeze of honey but also because I haven't seen many mint teas that are a blend of 3 kinds of leaf.
3. Agave Nectar
I don't want to have white sugar and I don't want to have artificial sweetner (nasty stuff) so I found this Agave Nectar at Holland & Barrett. Its mega sweet so you only need a bit.
There's debate on the internet as to whether this stuff is actually as natural as they say – I'm not 100% sure on this but I know I prefer it to white sugar and sweetener anyway. It also has a low GI and tastes quite nice (Not that i've been licking it from the tube…..)
Ok so not a madly comprehensive list, but it has only been a week – I just wanted to share with you some of the things I have been trying out and hopefully, all of this will pay off!

Deputy faces seven counts of criminal conduct
Pine County Sheriff's Deputy Justin Arthur Stoddard, 27, has been charged with seven counts of criminal conduct following allegations of theft of prescription narcotics while on duty.
Last week in a sheriff's press release, it was announced Stoddard had been put on administrative leave pending review of the complaint by Kanabec County Attorney's office. That office presented a charging document to Pine County Sheriff Robin Cole and Judge Krista Martin.
Those charges include two counts of theft of a controlled substance, each carrying a fine of $20,000 and/or 10 years in prison; two counts of fifth degree possession of a controlled substance, each carrying a fine of $10,000 and/or five years in prison; two counts of fifth degree controlled substance — procuring or possessing by fraud, deceit, misrepresentation or subterfuge, each carrying a fine of $10,000 and/or five years in prison; and, one count of misconduct of a public office carrying a fine of $3,000 and/or one year in jail.
The formal complaint states that Deputy Stoddard responded to a residence in Hinckley as requested by the first complainant because of a custody dispute. After dealing with the custody dispute, the deputy asked if the complainant was taking any medications. She told him she was taking oxycodone, a schedule two narcotic.
Stoddard said he would need pictures of the location where she stored the oxycodone in case the complainant's ex-husband made an issue of whether their child could reach the medication. Using his iPhone, Stoddard took pictures of the medications in the complainant's closet.
Stoddard returned three times to the complainant's residence, without invitation, to photograph the medication because the first pictures were blurry. He took pictures in the bathroom where he said there was better light.
He returned three more times because he said his boss needed more documentation. The complainant observed the deputy pouring the pills into his hand. She discovered that 43 pills were missing.
A few weeks later, Stoddard knocked on the door of some Pine City residences asking if they'd seen a suspicious car in the area which he said was being done to check for unoccupied residences. He said daytime thieves stole narcotics and then asked if the residents had narcotics. When they said they did, he asked to take pictures of the medication bottles in case something happened to them. Stoddard took them to his squad car to take pictures of the bottles then returned them. He returned to the residences saying he'd deleted the pictures and needed to take more pictures, then returned the bottles. Oxycodone and Percocet pills were missing from each of the three incidents.
All alleged thefts occurred while Stoddard was on duty.
Chisago County Investigator Clifford C. Sheppeck interviewed Stoddard at the Pine County Sheriff's Office. Stoddard initially denied the thefts, then admitted he had a problem with medication and admitted stealing the pills, according to the formal complaint.
On November 16, Stoddard made his first court appearance in Pine County District Court. The charges were reviewed and Stoddard was released after posting the imposed $5,000 conditional bail.
Shortly before the hearing began Stoddard resigned his position as a Pine County deputy sheriff.
His next court appearance is set for January of 2013.

Degrees & Certificates
Fine Arts
An AFA (Associate of Fine Arts) degree is a two-year direct transfer degree with a strong preparation in visual art. It is designed to help you prepare to transfer with an art portfolio into a broad range of four-year art majors both in state and out-of-state. Because it is also a Washington State Direct Transfer degree, you know that at least 90 credits will be transferred to most colleges in Washington State and that it will satisfy most of your general education requirements in these colleges.
Most art schools or art programs require a portfolio for acceptance or placement in your major. A portfolio is a selection of your best artwork demonstrating your strengths and the direction in which you are developing. In the AFA program we will help you to build the best portfolio you can. Even if you don't plan to go on to a four-year college right away, going through the process of how to build a portfolio and understanding the requirements of the art world give you invaluable skills.
We offer two AFA degrees. The AFA-S (Associate of Fine Arts - Studio Art) is a degree with a concentration in Foundation Studio Art, either 2-D studio art (drawing, painting, graphic design or photography) or 3-D studio art, (ceramics and sculpture).

70 Hunter!
My third 70: a draenei hunter named Corissa, and her pet ravager, Fluffy. I believe the technical term in the hunter community is FO'SHIZZLE!
(Yeah, I don't know what it means either, but it seems appropriate.)
I tamed Fluffy at level 10, and it's been my only pet all the way up to level 70 (aside from temp pets tamed for skills). It's interesting how some hunters focus on one pet, and others collect many different pets. I'm full Beastmaster, because that was the only spec where my pet could actually hold aggro, but I have no desire to get any exotic pets.
11 comments:
Grats! I have a Hunter sitting at 61 atm. I am in no hurry to level her up though. PEW PEW!ReplyDelete
Congrats on hitting 70!ReplyDelete
3.02 really introduced some love for the hunters.
I hear what you're saying about being a one pet hunter. That was me for a very long time.
But having tried some of the exotic pets in action (and knowing they're getting another 10% buff to their dmg compared to other pets), I'd really suggset buying your new bank slots and seeing if any of the new pets are a good fit. My fav so far: the core hound who easily tank elite mobs that were a struggle for my cat pre-patch.
Another cool (but non-exotic) pet is the gorilla. With the gorilla's AOE attack to keep threat on multiple mobs and your spammable volley, you really can AOE as a hunter -- it is a lot of fun and very effective. I was grinding the Consortium guys in Netherstorm for rep and level the gorilla to 70 and I was easily rounding up and AOEing down a half-dozen at a time.
Anyways, congrats again!
I've been holding out on getting my mage to 70 for ages - she's been 68 forever! She'll be my 4th 70.
Gonna do all the hallows end candy quests on her to get some free XP and see how i get on!
Gratz on 70!ReplyDelete
Too funny - my hunter alt - only level 25 - is female as well, and has a ravager.... named Fluffy.ReplyDelete
Great minds? Or fools?
Congrats !ReplyDelete
My shaman - 2nd alt - is still 5 lvls away :(
FO'SHIZZLE, neighbor! (apostrophe neither mandatory nor frowned upon).ReplyDelete
What do you mean not exotic? That's a cool pet now I have an idea what other I want to play eventually.ReplyDelete
kRinSH, the 51-pt Beastmaster talent allows you to tame special "exotic" pets, like Devilsaurs and Core Hounds.ReplyDelete
Xplodigun would probably say you aren't leveling fast enough, she's now at 8 level 70'sReplyDelete

PLEASANT HILL — In the latest setback for the developer, the city on Thursday postponed the demolition of the dome movie theater pending another appeal hearing.
In an April 25 letter, Mike Nielsen, chief building official for Pleasant Hill, said SyWest Development cannot tear down the theater until after the Building Board of Appeals holds a hearing on the demolition permit. That hearing has yet to be scheduled.
Before this latest hurdle, SyWest could have razed the 46-year-old local landmark as soon as Cinemark Theatres removes its property. The movie theater closed April 21 and Cinemark has until May 3 to clear out the building. The City Council is scheduled to consider an appeal of the project May 6.
Although the appeals will cost time and money, SyWest President Bill Vierra said he is not concerned about the outcome because the city has reviewed and approved the redevelopment plans in a series of public meetings going back nearly a decade.
"I'm OK with it because there's a process, and the city has to go through it," Vierra said. "Things are going to have to play out, and people have an issue they want to vent."
On Tuesday, attorney Mark Wolfe, who represents the Save the Pleasant Hill Dome group, asked the city to revoke the demolition permit. Wolfe contends that the city should not have issued the permit until after the May 6 appeal hearing.
In a letter dated April 26, City Attorney Janet Coleson did not address Wolfe's argument other than to say, "we disagree with your characterization of the project." Wolfe could not be reached for comment Friday.
In the appeal to the building board, Pleasant Hill resident Dorothy Englund raised several questions related to the demolition permit including whether the city reviewed plans for removing hazardous materials and disposing of waste from the building. Vierra believes the company submitted a complete application to the city.
SyWest has been trying for years to redevelop the southern half of the Crossroads Shopping Center. The company applied for the demolition permit in January, and the city issued it April 1. On April 8, opponents filed an appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of permits for SyWest's development proposal, which calls for demolishing the movie theater and replacing it with a two-story Dick's Sporting Goods store. SyWest also plans to renovate the adjacent building that once housed the Bally Total Fitness Gym.
Supporters say the city should preserve the theater as a venue for independent films or convert it into an arts and cultural center. On Friday, Vierra said unequivocally that Cinemark will never show movies at the dome again, nor will SyWest repurpose the building for community or municipal use.
"If it stops now for some reason (the dome is) just going to sit the way it's sitting and we'll hold it like that, if we don't demolish it, until it falls down," he said. "I don't think that's good for anybody."

ST-Ericsson Working With J.P. Morgan on Possible Sale, Other Options
JP Morgan Chase & Co. has been hired to explore options including a sale of ST-Ericsson, a money-losing joint venture between Swedish telecommunications giant Telefon AB L.M. Ericsson and STMicroelectronics NV, people familiar with the matter said.
Ericsson, a maker of mobile equipment, and STMicroelectronics, a Franco-Italian chip maker, are looking to sell their four-year-old cellphone-chip joint venture, ST-Ericsson amid losses.
STMicroelectronics NV said last month that it planned to exit the JV by end of this year's third quarter. The company could try to sell the unit in its entirety or piecemeal, the people said. The process may not end in a sale, and it is unclear how much the companies are seeking for the joint venture.
An ST-Ericsson spokeswoman said firm is working with an external advisor "to ensure the best possible future for ST-Ericsson," but declined further comment.
The venture has been struggling as its business making chips for cheap phones has plummeted, and it has had trouble getting traction with smartphone makers.
The challenges facing some clients like Nokia Corp. have affected revenue at ST-Ericsson, which hasn't turned a profit since its creation in 2009. STMicro has been unprofitable for four consecutive quarters. Ericsson is implementing job cuts in Sweden after a third quarter in which profits declined.

Gender and Climate Change: Myth vs. Reality
This season in Bangladesh marks the 40th anniversary of the 1970 cyclone which ravaged the southern coast and killed over half a million people, decimated the homes of countless families, destroyed millions of livestock, key infrastructure, and damaged productive land. The recent cyclones Sidr in 2007 and Aila in 2008 also claimed the lives of over 3000 people each, leaving millions of poor more vulnerable to climate change than ever before. In the wake of all these cyclones, questions were raised about how to build resilience to climate change impacts without compromising national development goals. Is Bangladesh developing differently? What lessons can be learned from experience of Bangladesh to reframe development and climate action as mutually supportive objectives?

Preschooler test or procedure preparation
Proper preparation for a test or procedure reduces your child's anxiety about the situation, encourages cooperation, and helps the child develop coping skills.
Alternative Names
Preparing preschoolers for test/procedure; Test/procedure preparation - preschooler
Preparation can reduce distress in children who are undergoing medical tests, minimizing crying and resistance to the procedure. Research finds that lowering anxiety can actually decrease the sensation of pain felt by people during uncomfortable procedures.
Before the test, understand that your child probably will cry. Preparation may not change the fact that your child will feel some discomfort or pain. You can try demonstrating what will happen during the test in advance to learn about your child's particular fears and concerns. Using a doll or other object to act out the test may help reveal worries that the child may not be able to talk about. This may help reduce your child's anxiety.
Most people are more frightened of the unknown. It helps if the child knows what to expect. If a child's fears are unrealistic, you may want to explain what will actually happen. If the child is worried about an unavoidable part of the test, do not minimize this concern. Reassure the child that you will be there to help as much as you can.
Make sure your child understands that the procedure is not a punishment. Children at this age may believe that the pain they feel is a punishment for something they did.
The most important way you can help your child is with proper preparation, and with your support and comfort around the time of the procedure. Ask if the hospital has a child life specialist who can help you before and after the procedure.
Keep your explanations about the procedure to 10 or 15 minutes, because preschoolers have a limited attention span. Preparation should take place directly before the test or procedure so that the child doesn't worry about it for days or weeks in advance.
Here are some general guidelines for preparing your child for a test or procedure:
- Explain the procedure in language your child understands, using plain words and avoiding abstract terms.
- Play preparation can be a wonderful way of demonstrating the procedure to your child and identifying concerns.
- Make sure your child understands the body part involved, and that the procedure will be limited to that area.
- To the best of your ability, describe how the test will feel.
- Be honest with your child about discomfort that may be felt.
- If the procedure affects part of the body that serves a noticeable function (such as speech, hearing, or urination), explain what changes will occur afterwards.
- Give your child permission to yell, cry, or otherwise express any pain verbally.
- Ask if your child has not understood something you have explained.
- Allow your child to practice the positions or movements that will be required for the particular procedure, such as the fetal position for a
lumbar puncture.
- Stress the benefits of the procedure and talk about things that the child may find pleasurable after the test, such as feeling better or going home. You may want to take your child for ice cream or some other treat afterwards, but do not make this conditional on "being good" for the test.
- Practice deep breathing and other comforting activities with your child. If possible, have your child hold your hand and squeeze it when feeling pain.
- Ask the provider if the child can make some decisions, when appropriate, such as which arm should have the IV or what color bandage they would like to have.
- Distract the child during and or after the procedure with books, songs, counting, deep breathing, or even blowing bubbles.
Play can be a wonderful way of demonstrating the procedure for your child and identifying any anxiety. Tailor this technique to your child. Most health care facilities for children use similar techniques to prepare children for procedures.
Many young children have a favorite toy or other important object that can be a tool for a process called third-party communication. It may be less threatening for your child to express concerns through the toy or object instead of directly. For example, a child who is about to have blood drawn may be better able to understand if you discuss how her doll might "feel" during the test.
Toys or dolls can help you explain the procedure to your preschooler. Once you are familiar with the procedure, briefly demonstrate on the toy what your child will experience. Using the toy, show your child:
- Bandages
- How injections are given
- How IV's are inserted
- How surgical cuts are made
- Stethoscopes
- What positions the child will hold
After your demonstration, allow your child to play with some of the items (except for needles and other sharp items). Watch your child for clues about concerns or fears.
No matter what test is performed, your child will probably cry. This is a normal response to a strange environment, unfamiliar people, and separation from you. Knowing this from the beginning may help relieve some of your anxiety about what to expect.
Your child may be restrained by hand or with physical devices. Young children lack the physical control, coordination, and ability to follow commands that older children and adults usually have. Most tests and procedures require limited or no movement to ensure accuracy.
Restraints may be used during a procedure or other situation to ensure your child's safety. For example, to get clear results with x-rays there must not be any movement. Radiological and nuclear studies require that all staff temporarily leave the room. In these situations, restraints may be used for your child's safety.
If a puncture is done to get a blood sample or start an IV, restraints may be used to protect your child. If the child moves, the needle could cause an injury.
Your health care provider will use every method to ensure your child's safety and comfort. Besides restraints, other measures include medications, monitors, and observation.
Your job as a parent is to comfort your child.
Your presence may help your child during the procedure, especially if the procedure allows you to maintain physical contact. If the procedure is performed at the hospital or your health care provider's office, you may be given the opportunity to be present. If you are not sure whether you are allowed to be present, ask.
If you think you may become ill or anxious, consider keeping your distance but remaining in your child's line of vision. If you are not able to be present, leaving a familiar object with your child may be comforting.
Avoid showing your anxiety. This will only make your child feel more upset. Research has suggested that children are more cooperative if their parents have taken measures (such as anxiety reducing acupuncture) to reduce their own anxiety.If you are feeling stressed and anxious, consider asking friends and family members for help. They can provide child care for other siblings or meals for the family so you can focus on supporting your child.
Other considerations:
- Ask your provider to limit the number of strangers entering and leaving the room during the procedure, because this can raise anxiety.
- Ask that the provider who has spent the most time with your child be present during the procedure.
- Ask that anesthesia be used where appropriate to reduce the level of discomfort your child will feel.
- Ask that painful procedures not be performed in the hospital bed, so that the child does not associate pain with the hospital room.
- If you are in your child's line of sight, imitate the behavior the child needs to do, such as opening the mouth.
- Ask if a low sensory environment can be created.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Tickets for the U.S. men's World Cup qualifier against Mexico will be distributed through a random draw because of high interest in the Sept. 10 match in Columbus, Ohio.
US-Mexico is always a big draw, with more than 93,000 turning out for a match at the Rose Bowl during the Gold Cup in 2011. Because Columbus Crew Stadium only seats 22,000, U.S. Soccer was concerned fans would get shut out of tickets if the normal distribution system was used. The draw, which will be held after a pre-sale for priority groups, is designed to ensure tickets go to fans, not brokers or scalpers.
It also prevents a mad rush for tickets as soon as they go on sale.
"U.S. Soccer is taking this unique approach due to the expected high ticket demand," U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati said in a statement Friday. "We've seen in the past few cycles that the USA-Mexico match in the final round of World Cup qualifying is by far the most desired ticket, and we wanted to provide as many fans as possible a fair opportunity to secure tickets at face value."
From July 19-22, fans can apply for up to four tickets. A computer program will then randomly distribute the tickets, weeding out scalpers in the process. Credit cards will only be charged if fans get tickets in the draw.
The Americans currently are atop the six-team CONCACAF qualifying group, with Mexico five points back in third place. The top three teams from North and Central America and the Caribbean automatically advance to next year's World Cup in Brazil, with the fourth-place team facing New Zealand in a playoff.

<x-flowed>the english usage of the term "imperative" has perhaps led to somewhat of a
misunderstanding of the greek "imperative" -- which rather more speaks an
URGENCY than a COMMAND -- of course, a command does speakan urgency BUT an
urgency is not always a command.

How Risky, Really, Is the Arab World for Investors? Take Two.
In June 2010 I posted a blog on political risks for investors in the Arab world. The blog (and associated Perspectives note) argued that it was probably a mistake to lump all Arab countries together, and that risks were idiosyncratic among nations. Overall, the note reflected the view at the time that most investors were fairly sanguine about the risks in the Arab world.
In retrospect of course, we have all been found out following the events that started in Tunisia in January and spread across the region. This week MIGA hosted a panel discussion on 'Investment Opportunities in the Wake of the Arab Spring' to try and take stock of these events and consider their implications for investors. The discussion was lively and engaging and, while there was much debate, there was also some consensus around a few issues. My key take-aways from the event are:
- The term 'Arab Spring' is not that helpful as it conflates the unique experiences of various countries, some of which have heretofore not been even particularly 'Spring'-like. For investors and MIGA, this means there is significant diversity in the types and scale of risks. Political risk in some countries may be over-priced due to investors lumping all countries in the region together. As an example, tourism has plummeted in Bahrain but actually increased in Morocco since January.
- Existing investors in the Arab World take a long term perspective and believe the fundamentals of the region remain strong: a young dynamic population and a growing economy. Opportunities abound, even in these difficult times. Some participants even went so far as to describe their outlook as bullish in the medium to long term. On the other hand, potential investors are taking a more 'wait and see' approach.
- Risks are different in the transition period, medium term, and longer term. In the transition period, it is about legitimacy of elections and treatment of the old elite. Political risk could decline in the medium term, but it will take a decade or longer for equilibrium to emerge in these markets and the process could be messy.
- Diasporas have an important role to play, in terms of both remittances and investment. There are many examples of diasporas now returning home with both international experience and funds that they wish to invest for both financial and developmental returns.
Circling back to my original post last year: while the probability of a political risk event has changed, interestingly, the premise remains the same. Here, please forgive me for quoting myself:
The most important message...is that risks vary significantly by country, by sector, and by project. As a result, it's crucial not to take a one-size-fits-all approach to investing in the region.
That said, while the events in many Arab countries are still playing out MIGA stands ready to support investors with political risk insurance. Our focus in the region is in long-tenor infrastructure projects (including PPPs); supporting banks with branches and subsidiaries in the region, and supporting labor-intensive manufacturing and tourism.

Creve Coeur Roofing Contractor – Low-Slope Roofs In 63141
Just in case you thought that all we do are residential roofs in Creve Coeur, I thought I should mention that we also do low-slope roofs in 63141. By that, I am referring to commercial roofs that have just enough slope to let the rain run off. Just like residential roofs, these have their share… Read More

Chinese is a language that leaves a great deal understood and implied - it does not lock an expression into an explicit structure. And I can certainly understand the point of not being able to fully reproduce the explicit grammar of Indic languages. But the overall implication is that this is somehow the reason Chinese Buddhism "went off the rails." (Which is loaded enough an assertion in the first place.) And that is where the conversation goes off the rails. It is not necessary to have "perfect grammar" or absolute explicitness to teach Dharma. The example of shen is instructive enough. I have hardly ever seen in used as it is discussed in the synopsis I quoted. In fact, it is typically used for atman, the heretical concept to Buddhists. The character used for self is wo. Thus, I naturally assumed the real argument there was the True Self discourse that arose from the Tathagata-garbha texts that Chinese Buddhism adopted as central doctrines early on.Ben Yuan wrote:Dharmakāya is not an agent, thus it is also not an underlying perceiver.Texts like the Mahaparinirvana-sutra clearly had the ideas of a permanent, transcendent self - styled as the dharmakaya - in them prior to arriving in China.
A transcendent self has no aggregates, including consciousness.
It is an ocean, not a stream.
It is a description of the ends, which can't be retroactively applied to all consciousness or perception without also stating that there is no consciousness or perception anymore, i.e. cleansed. This is not what Park is discussing, though certainly "consciousness" as the subject of rebirth 'did' exist in Indian thought - albeit to a lesser extent in Buddhism than one finds in Chinese translations.It seems obvious that you would have to lose a lot of subtleties and the majesty and beauty when you translate from Sanskrit into Chinese, perhaps to a lesser extent when you translate into English also.it hasn't much to do with some poor early translations or the lack of a highly structured grammar akin to Indic languages ...
Thus, the question of the existence of the self, in terms of translations, is not the biggest issue. Which, due to Chinese grammar, is more or less inherent to the nature of the task itself, when, as Malcolm and others point out, is less evident in translation to Tibetan or English. This is broader than what Park was discussing however, as far as I can see.

Publication Date: November 2008
Pages: 334
Press release | Foreword | Table of contents
Integration policy for immigrants and their children is high on the policy agenda in many OECD countries. This is due to a number of factors. Firstly, many immigrants have arrived in OECD countries over the past decade, often for reasons other than employment. Facilitating their integration into the labour market has become a key policy priority. At the same time, many OECD countries expect that a greater recourse to immigrants may be necessary to tackle labour shortages in the context of demographic ageing. For this to be a feasible and sustainable policy option, immigrants have to be well integrated into the economy and society in the host countries. Labour market integration, in the sense of good employment and career prospects, plays a crucial role here. Finally, there is growing concern over the education and labour market outcomes of their children, who are now entering the labour markets in larger numbers.
This volume, the second one in the OECD's Jobs for Immigrants series, describes and assesses the experiences of four OECD countries (Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Portugal) with respect to the integration of immigrants and their children into the labour market.
In this edition:
• Chap I: Main findings on the labour market integration of immigrants and their children
Labour market integration of immigrants and their children in:
• Chap III: France
• Chap IV: Netherlands
• Chap V: Portugal
Belgium Summary Recommendations
France Summary Recommendations
Netherlands Summary Recommendations
Portugal Summary Recommendations
...that low-educated immigrants tend to have higher employment rates than low-educated native-born?
…that immigrants are disproportionately affected by unfavourable economic conditions?
…that earlier arrival of children of immigrants contributes to their long-term integration?
…that children of immigrants have more difficulties in finding employment, even when they are qualified?
…that early labour market access is crucial for long-term labour market integration?
…that second generation women tend to often fare better than immigrant women in education and employment, but still lag behind the children of natives?

Tropical storms have passed through the construction site every week this month, but Florida's rainy season has not stopped Team Florida. With the competition and FLeX House's slated delivery less than a month away, we can't afford to get even one day behind schedule. Crunch time has officially arrived.

Since our last update, not only has our team managed to finish the deck and modules' installation, paint the entire interior, put in wood flooring and install the steel canopy, but we've also earned media coverage from FOX13 News, ABC Action News, WMNF Public Radio, The Sunshine Slate and Co-Tain.com.
The closer FLeX House inches towards completion, the louder the public vocalizes its excitement. Already, we've been contacted by the PBS program "Planet Forward," which tasked us with generating weekly video updates to be featured on their website and possibly on a national broadcast.
But even with the excess of exposure we've gotten so far, we're not expecting the flow of media coverage to slow down any time soon. As we ready FLeX House for the solar array, news outlets have expressed great interest in photographing and filming the solar panel installation process.

Additionally, FLeX's all-cypress front door was installed last week—a gorgeous fixture arriving just in time for an upcoming media event where we will give preliminary tours through the home. This event will be an excellent opportunity for Team Florida to showcase the value FLeX House can contribute to the community, as we're expecting major members of the media and academia to attend. For those that can't attend, you can check out the video coverage on our facebook page.
Amongst the chaos construction and event planning, we've also had deliverable deadlines from Solar Decathlon. FLeX's monstrous, 650+ page project manual was submitted alongside three short videos highlighting the marketing, engineering and architectural aspects of our project. The videos will contribute to our jury presentations in September.
In the coming weeks, we'll be installing the cypress louvers, putting finishing touches on FLeX House and prepping our team for the trip to D.C. This time next month, Team Florida's two-year journey will be approaching the finish line.

Western Digital introduces 'Advanced Format'
Subject: Storage | December 11, 2009 - 05:04 AM | Allyn Malventano
I was recently briefed by the fine staff over at Western Digital about their new 'Advanced Format' partitioning scheme. This is a new format method they will be incorporating into their various drive lines. Advanced Format represents a new way for their drives to handle data internally. Instead of each individual sector having its own Sync/header and ECC, the new format will move to larger physical sectors, in this case 4k. This results in an overall net gain in storage efficiency, so much so that Western Digital was able to save on wasted space even after shifting to a larger ECC block size. Larger ECC is a good thing, as Error Correcting Code is used to detect and correct bit errors that occur within each physical sector. The new ECC block size should translate to a 50% improvement in error correction ability. Here is a look at the new format as compared with current tech:
Bear in mind this takes place at a very low level and therefore can not be applied to any current drives (i.e. via firmware). While Advanced Format yields roughly 10% net gain in usable space, Western Digital will be sticking to the round number capacities existing in all current lines. I would have loved for them to use this as an opportunity to move from terabytes to tebibytes, finally bringing hard drives capacities in-line with other computer related capacities, but I'll just have to keep dreaming on that one.
There are a few things to consider with this move. Since the sectors are still logically 512 bytes each, a 2TB drive will still have the same number of sectors as before (just shy of 2^32). Advanced Format will therefore not do anything to correct the difficulties Windows XP and older legacy operating systems have addressing drives larger than 2TB.
Another slightly more important catch is that a modification to a single sector requires the entire 4k block to be read, modified, and then written back to the disk. Seasoned RAID and SSD users are used to this sort of thing, as RAID stripe and SSD block erase sizes are typically multiples of 4k or higher. Increased use of RAID was what led Microsoft to change the default partition start from sector 63 to sector 2048. This change started with Vista and is included in Win 7. Those still running XP with a default partition will see a performance hit with these new drives, as each 4k cluster modified will not be properly aligned to the 4k blocks of the Advanced Format drive. Because 63 is not evenly divisible by 8, each 8-sector cluster written will result in 2 4k blocks modified on the newer drive. Here is a visual of what takes place during a single cluster write with an incorrectly aligned partition:
Note how the writing of a single cluster 'spills over' into two physical clusters of the Advanced Format drive. The same type of thing happens with an incorrectly aligned RAID or SSD as well.
WD have provided two options for those under Windows XP:
- Use the 'WD Align Utility' (provided here), to re-align pre-existing partitions.
- Install a jumper between pins 7-8 on the drive prior to use.
The utility was co-developed by WD and Paragon. It is able to align attached external drives as well as the OS drive itself and is available in both 32 and 64 bit versions. Installing a jumper between pins 7-8 on the drive does nothing more than direct the drives firmware to offset the LBA by one (i.e. sector 63 becomes 64 as far as the drive-side of the data is concerned). This would cause a default XP partition to perform as if it was aligned properly. You can't shift this jumper after data is present on the drive as it would cause the Partition Table / Master Boot Record to be offset by one sector as well and therefore cause it to be unrecognizable by the OS. Amplifying instructions will be present on the new drives, including a brief explanation of jumper use:
An example of the new label verbiage.
WD will be rolling out the new 'EARS' variant of the Caviar Green line over the next few weeks, and will eventually incorporate the technology into many of their other product lines. The full white paper on the subject is available here.

I will really love for you for guests posting on www.pcper.com
Technically competent article, but a little excessive for any ordinary reader interested in real world scenarios affecting them (/us).
Add a few real world examples?
Such as;-
If I would like a fast/er new hard drive and have XP Home edition and want to install/update XP Pro on the same computer on a new hard drive (to take advantage of XP Pro`s multi-processor abilities), then should I buy a specific WD drive and format it to 512Kb sectors?
Which one would be suitable?
And if I have a Windows 7/8 PC (64-bit) should I by a different WD model and format that accordingly?
Say which are the best best for each system perhaps?
Broaden the reader base (we already learned that SSD`s can be pointless on out older PC`s [but have a limit to our learning curve])?
Thanks ))))

Five Coastline Community College students, who are the first in their families to attend college, have each earned a $5,000 scholarship from the Asian & Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund/Wal-Mart Foundation Scholarship.
Son Mai, Catarina Nguyen, Sophia Sourivong, Hung Ta and an anonymous student will be honored for their achievement at the college's Newport Beach campus Feb. 8, Coastline Community College announced Tuesday.
They are first-generation students from Asian or Pacific Islander heritages and are full-time students in a degree-seeking program, according to a statement from Coastline.
The awards were available as part of a the scholarship fund's Community College Scholarship Program, which is open to only four community colleges across the United States.
Students at City College of San Francisco, De Anza College and South Seattle Community College also earned scholarships.
"We are so pleased that our students had a chance to compete for these generous scholarships made possible by APIASF and Wal-Mart," Coastline President Loretta P. Adrian said in a prepared statement. "As a Title III institution, we serve a large population of minority students who are — for the first time in their family history — completing a college degree. Utilizing the funding from the scholarship, these students can successfully complete — not only their associate degree — but transfer on to earn their bachelor degree or even higher."
The Coast Community College District runs three schools in Orange County, including Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, Golden West College in Huntington Beach and Coastline Community College in Fountain Valley.

The quarterback most likely to win a ring? It's usually a guy who's already got one.
This year? A little different.
Or his older brother ... to the dismay of millions who'd come to expect a championship with his comeback.
You can cross him off the list, too.
Makes sense, this being the year of the young quarterback. Ferociously talented, precociously composed, more circumspect than his years -- or his tats -- might suggest.
Only one of the old guard remains. And it's not that he's still standing; it's that he's making history.
The standard for postseason success has long been Joe Montana. But with a win over the Houston Texans, Tom Brady has now surpassed his childhood idol.
Seventeen victories. The most of any quarterback -- ever -- in football's second season.
I'm not arguing Brady is perfect. Unlike some of these kids, he would not be described as athletic.
(Perhaps more troubling? Some of his sartorial choices. Tom, really; leave that stuff to Beckham, OK?)
Then again, perhaps this was Tom Brady's real genius, a tough guy wearing a pretty boy's disguise.
On Feb. 3, 2002, he won his first Super Bowl MVP.
Joe Flacco was an underclassman at Audubon High School in New Jersey. Colin Kaepernick was 14. Robert Griffin III was 11.
Now, a win next Sunday will earn Brady a record six Super Bowl starts.
Watch closely, all you young quarterbacking prodigies.
Oh, it'll happen.
But never again.

Day two is ended at AGConnect and it's been an informative and enjoyable show. Despite feeling a bit under the weather, it's been good to hit the ground running in 2011 and meet new companies and learn about unique ways fluid power components are being used in agricultural machinery.
I had a chance to sit down and talk with folks at Eaton Corp. and learn more about the many systems they have integrated in fully automated sugar cane harvesters, as well as several other ag machines. I saw perhaps one the largest machines in my life — a cotton picker and baler from Case IH.
It's at shows like these where you meet new people you won't find otherwise, like the folks at Hidros Machinery Import-Export Co., a company from Turkey that supplies hydraulic pumps, valves and more. Or some of the lesser known (well, to me anyway!) ag machinery makers, like Miller, who use Poclain wheel drive motors. Or GBSA, a seal company right in my own backyard in Chardon, Ohio.
I hope to post pictures from the show next week — I'm having technical difficulties downloading the images from my camera phone! And unfortunately, I will be cutting my time short as the weather in Atlanta promises to turn ugly tomorrow night, but it's still been an informative and enlightening trip!
