GREENWOOD, S.C. – The Coker men's golf team finished in 12th place at the Bearcat Classic on Tuesday (Mar. 26), after shooting a two day, three round team total of 917.
Leading the field for the Cobras was Nicklaus Kennedy, who would sign off on three round individual total of 222. Kennedy sunk a tournament tying 12 birdies, and also was one of two Coker players to sink an eagle during the two-day event. Joining Kennedy in capturing an eagle was sophomore Luke Coates. Coates finished the tournament with an individual total of 238.
Completing the field for Coker was Aaron Beebe and Josh Clay who shot scores of 230 and 233, while Christopher Fuga was close behind with a final score of 234.
Coker will have little rest, as they hit the road again for their next outing on Thursday (Mar. 28). The Cobras will be traveling to compete in the UNCP Campbell Oil Intercollegiate.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Ben Folds didn't realize how great his music was until he heard a bunch of college students singing it.
Ben Folds was so impressed by a cappella groups' performances of his songs, he made a record with them.
The singer-songwriter says he was beyond impressed when he stumbled across videos of university a cappella groups singing covers of his songs on YouTube.
"I was really moved," he says. "I thought it was better than what I had done when I first heard it. That's how it struck me because it was so fresh."
And so an idea was born: Folds would travel to university campuses around the country and record an entire album of a cappella covers.
The North Carolina native picked 15 ensembles from 250 submissions for "Ben Folds Presents: University A Cappella!" (Epic), which came out Tuesday. And to give the music a "field recording" feel, he kept the process simple: Each performance was recorded using six wide-range microphones, and most of the groups got it down in one or two takes.
"It's a completely different point of view," says Folds, 42, of the students' renderings of his tunes. "They're not signed singers and artists that have their egos to contend with. And sometimes they're not thinking about the song that much, which I think is kind of cool."
But not wanting to have the thunder completely stolen from him (and probably to entice his loyal fans to shell out for the album) Folds sings two a cappella tracks himself: "Boxing" from his Ben Folds Five days, and "Effington" from his 2008 solo album "Way To Normal."
"It was really difficult because we were doing my tracks from the bottom up," he says. "We didn't have a bunch of people to work with and I just about gave up."
Ben Folds spoke to CNN about his youthful-sounding new release, why being married four times isn't much of a drama and why he faked an album leak. The following is an edited version of the interview.
CNN: Is this the one and only Ben Folds greatest hits album?
Ben Folds: I think it naturally kind of is. I mean I was looking for something like that -- to possibly do a live orchestral album where the best material would kind of float to the top.
But then again, someone's going to want to release a greatest hits soon, so this is the other greatest hits.
CNN: Did you learn anything from the students?
Folds: Yeah. I relearned a lot of stuff. ... This is all so old school. I mean these guys, they'd just do a live take and they just don't know that the pros don't do it that way. I mean, professional singers are a nightmare. You've gotta tune every syllable, they have to do it 10,000 times. These guys just did it.
CNN: And you went around each campus to record each track?
Folds: We kept them in what I would say is their natural habitat. I was really into the field recording idea. When you start messing with it and putting everyone on separate tracks you've lost the event and you've gained some sense of maybe perfection, but when it comes to the human voice, even-tempered piano tuning sounds incorrect to me. I think that people have a natural tuning mechanism.
CNN: You've always been very Internet savvy. You've embraced MySpace. Do you Twitter?
Folds: I'm not sure what that is.
There's always something new. I think that my fans knew how to use computers before most people's fans. I remember when everybody was talking about the possibility of downloading, and I was already having kids walk up with CDs they had burned for me to sign. This was like 1999. I was signing burned CDs more than I was signing my own. So I think they get it.
CNN: Why did you decide to leak a fake version of your 2008 album "Way To Normal?"
Folds: Well, I think that we get very uptight when it comes time to record because there's a process, an imminent process that has to do with just selling the record, mostly. And it also has to do with people's general take on music and how it's framed. I felt if something went out that was a joke and it was riding on the press of a new album, that we would be forced to go in and do something so quickly that we couldn't monitor ourselves.
So while I thought it was funny, I really liked the idea of going into the studio and making six songs in one day. So we wrote and recorded six songs in a day, mixed that day while we played our gig that night. And then it was mastered the next day. And then we leaked it the third day.
So in three days we wrote, recorded, mixed, mastered, distributed and did press on an album. I think things were kind of cool.
CNN: You've been married four times. Is that helpful for singer-songwriter purposes? I mean, that's a lot of drama.
Folds: Well, it wasn't a lot of drama, really. ... Everyone's life is different and I think the pace at which I've lived and the way that I tend to take a risk all contributes to the way that I write. ...
If you've got kids it is a drama. But it's the kind of drama you want to not write a song about. Because one, the kids will hear it and secondly, I don't like country music.
CNN: How has having kids changed your outlook on music?
Folds: I have to work more quickly and more efficiently.
CNN: Who are you listening to at the moment?
Folds: I'm in a habit of buying old 78 [rpm] records and I've got a little record player I'm carrying with me.
CNN: That's heavy.
Folds: Yeah, that's heavy, dude.
CNN: I meant physically heavy -- to carry around a record player.
Folds: Oh, that too. I wouldn't know about that with my (jokingly flexes muscles) -- it doesn't really occur to me, those things.

The easiest and least expensive way for ANY gentleman to look much better in his clothes is to pull those pants up.
Both of these gentleman look more refined ,even while dressed in just shirt sleeves, because they are wearing their pants at their waist and not at their hips.
I think it also visually drops about ten pounds on a guy because your shirt doesn't blouse-out and hang over your belt as badly.

So since my daughter died i took a 42 days just sitting on my butt being Lazy then when i was given the clear by my Doc i went back to work which meant back to command PT. I still took about a couple more months to just grieve and get blood work and all that jazz done. Found out that i need to take baby aspirin daily even when pregnant and if my mother develops a DVT then to take heparin shots during pregnancy along with baby aspirin. So now Im looking at my "fresh new start" as taking the pills (cal-mag, vit D, prenatal, iron, vit c and aspirin daily, cal mag 2x a day) staying in shape but that one goes without saying being in the Navy need to to keep my job. and just doing things for me. Like buying the furniture i was going to back in december when everything hit the fan. My goal is to just be happier and when the time comes to be pregnant again try and limit the stress in my life because i know i won't truly be happy i'll be afraid of PE and HELLP lurking. Hopefully this next time i'll have an uneventful pregnancy and bring home healthy baby.

CDC Sends Plea To Missing Scientist
The Centers for Disease Control is making a plea to a scientist who's been missing for more than a month. Dr. Timothy Cunningham hasn't been seen since he left work early on February 12th after telling his coworkers he didn't feel well. The acting director of the CDC yesterday put out a press release asking anyone who might know anything about where Cunningham might be to come forward. But the plea also is aimed at Cunningham himself, telling him his colleagues hope he comes home soon. Cunningham is a chronic disease specialist with the U.S. Public Health Service. Two days after he left the CDC's Atlanta offices, his parents and Atlanta Police went through his home.
Police say all his personal items, keys, cell phone, credit and debit cards, wallet, identification, and passport were there. Police don't suspect foul play, but they aren't ruling it out either.

As people in the Windsor Facebook community may have noticed, there are two public meetings planed for June 7th at the College St community Centre, and at the Main Branch of the library, June 9th.
The intent of the public meetings – called for by citizens for citizens – is to allow people to deliberate a reasoned response to city council's plan to build an aquatic centre requiring the closure of perhaps four public pools (Adie Knox, Water World, and College Ave.).
At the meetings, we can find out who would like to be a delegate to speak at a special sitting of city council on June 13th. This council meeting is set to debate the business plan for a new aquatic centre. It is our last chance for public input. The process used by the city in the three "consultation" meetings was flawed:
• People had no clear idea what the aquatic centre will provide for them if they lose the neighbourhood pools
• The city had pre-arranged questions everyone could see were meant to shepherd people into accepting the closure of neighbourhood pools for questionable benefit
• The whole process is rushed to have an aquatic centre by 2013 for the Childrens' Games
• Residents were asked to justify the existence of the facilities, where it should have been the city providing solid reasons why it is worth the removal of neighbourhood services for a complex meant for athletes and visitors.
Council rules require advance notice of speakers on an issue by noon on Friday before a council meeting. This means we have to have speakers turning in their names by noon June 10th. It is envisioned that speakers will simply say how the existing facilities are important to them and that if anything they should be enhance as a new facility is planned and built. The message is simple: world class cities have both specialized attractions for athletes and visitors AND vibrant neighbourhoods. Windsor should be for Windsorites.
Our efforts will avoid ad hominem attacks – that is, on individuals – and concentrate on the issue itself: the either/or proposition where the economically disadvantaged, elderly and disabled have to give up local services and compete for space in an aquatic centre not designed for them.
There is a small organizing committee getting flyers out to affected neighbourhoods, and if you'd like to be involved simply resolve to get yourself on the speaker list. The procedure is copied below:
Excerpt from the City of Windsor Procedure By-law 240-2001 (Part 10-Delegations)
"The Clerk shall not register a delegation unless there is a specific item listed on the Order of Business to which the delegate has a bona fide interest and wishes to address Council / Committee. Any person who wishes to appear before Council shall make application to the Clerk by the Friday preceding the Council meeting, 12:00 noon, to be placed on the Order of Business to appear before Council at the meeting at which it will be dealing with the item of interest to the delegate. A written brief is encouraged and, if submitted to the Clerk by noon on the Friday preceding the Council meeting shall be copied and distributed as "Delegation" submissions to Council members. A maximum of 5 minutes shall be allotted for each delegation to present his/her position of support or opposition to the relevant item on the Order of Business. Where there are numerous delegates taking the same position on a matter, they are encouraged to select a spokesperson to present their views."
Also, pickets are planned in front of City Hall for the June 7th regular council meeting as well as for the one on the 13th. So if you'd rather show your opposition to council's plan to shut down neighborhood facilities by picketing please do so!
This is a citizen led effort in the spirit of popular education where citizens learn by doing. If we need to resist, we do so while building an alternative to the existing method where a select few at the top of an organizational pyramid believe they, and only they, have all the answers for the city, and so refuse to engage in a true participatory process where the answers come from the whole. It is hoped this effort will lead to the formation of citizen led neighbourhood councils which can mobilize opinion and alternatives. Out of such councils would also come future councilors rooted in the places they live and can act in the best interests of the whole city.
If you have questions please email Paul at email@example.com
Meeting Notice. Please distribute widely:
Organize to defend neighbourhood pools and libraries
It's not over yet!
Our voices can still be heard.
Let's build on the win at the last city led consultation meeting.
A citizen led public action meeting will be held
June 7, @ 7PM
College Ave. Community Centre 3325 College Ave
June 9 @ 6PM
Central Library Branch 850 Ouellette Avenue (Downstairs)
(Centres at risk are below with contact info)
• To prepare delegates to tell city council why community pools and libraries should not be sacrificed for an aquatic centre on June 13th
• Show city council we can and will organize to protect neighbourhood resources

The Macron leaks contain secret proposals that would lead to the islamisation of France and Europe. These are shown in a Powerpoint presentation which appears to have come from the Institut Montaigne. Harmonising education between countries on different sides of the Mediterranean is one of the key objectives.
Create a common history textbook with Italy, Spain, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia (3) in order to put in historical perspective the mutual contributions and religious convergences between the two shores of the Mediterranean.
Within the 3+3 framework, we recommend the creation of a commission of historians responsible for drawing up a common history textbook. The aim of this work will be:
-to create a common base of objective historical knowledge founded on the logic of a historical "draw" [stalemate]
- to develop a sense of belonging to a common history
- to reduce the fantasies of victimisation on one side as well as civilisational superiority on the otherThe document also recommends the introduction of Arabic teaching to French schools, including bi-lingual classes. This is justified by with the claim that Muslims are currently getting their "Arabic fix" from mosques, where they risk being radicalised. I previously noted that "soft islamisation" is being advocated as the remedy for "hard islamisation" and that this represents a kind of de facto reward being offered to jihad violence. Jihad gets results. It leads to societies being islamised, one way or the other.
Other plans for measures to islamise France include facilitating mosque construction by making it easier to arrange finance for it and providing reserved Muslim areas in municipal cemeteries. Again this is justified by claiming that it will lead to the emergence of a "French Islam".
There is also a proposal, unfortunately not specified in detail, to finance Islam by taxing halal consumption.
The email that references this presentation can be seen here:
It says: "The PowerPoint study on the Islam of France (provisional and very confidential): prepared by the IM [Institut Montaigne] and Hakim El Karoui, who was introduced to you at a previous lunch."
Some basic facts on Hakim El Karoui.
- He has a Tunisian father and French mother.
- Members of his father's family participated in Tunisian governments at ministerial and prime ministerial level.
- He wrote a book called Réinventer l'Occident [Reinventing the West]
- He is a former director of a bank called Rothschild & Cie
- He founded an organisation called Young Mediterranean Leaders
For those expressing scepticism about this, here is more information. The exact email is called "Fwd: Notes à date (1) : REGALIEN", sent by email@example.com to email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com on 31 August 2016. It can be found in the quentin.lafay archive within the set of Macron Leaks files. Here is a magnet link if you want to download it and have a torrent client installed (link).
As this Figaro article (link) shows, some references to these proposals have already been made in the mainstream press so it is not even that far-out in terms of the thinking of the left-wing intelligentsia in France. What wasn't known was that Macron's people were on board with it.

Hotéis em Manchester
Get in on the action in vibrant Manchester! Directly linked to Manchester Airport's terminals, and just 13 km from the city centre, the luxury Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester Airport is perfect for catching an early flight, or simply enjoying all that Manchester has to offer. While you're there, take in a Manchester United or Manchester City football match, shop 'til you drop and see some of the city's multitude of museums and art galleries!
Manchester is a big, bold northern city, close to the Pennines and on the Cheshire Plain. It sings with culture, colour and diversity. Manchester is famous for its music scene and two successful football teams today but its success as a city has been built on the back of its industrial heritage; it was king of the coal and textile industry for many years – sometimes known as Cottonopolis – transporting cotton and cloth along the railways and the Bridgewater Canal to the Mersey and the world beyond. Manchester was the place to be – a cosmopolitan centre way ahead of its time. The advent of container shipping put an end to its heyday but as with many industrial cities the docklands, warehouses and waterways have been regenerated to create cool new spaces. The Salford Quays are a lively place to hang out and you'll find L.S Lowry's matchstick people on display in the museum dedicated to the painter.
Manchester Airport flies millions of holiday makers and business travellers all over the world and it's just a short train ride into the heart of the city. From the busy Manchester Piccadilly Station it's easy to walk to the middle of the action. Manchester is a shopping heaven and the Triangle, Exchange Square, King Street, the Avenue in Spinningfields and Printworks are the places to head to for some serious retail therapy. On your way around the city check out some of the architecture – Manchester has some real gems – look out for the distinctive red brick and the heart of the old Roman fort, Castlefield, on the Bridgewater Canal. Manchester Town Hall built in 1877 is an iconic piece of Gothic Victorian architecture and the Chetham Library is the oldest English language public library in the world (founded in 1653).
In the evening you'll be spoilt for choice – from comedy clubs to restaurants, orchestras to live music. This is the home of Oasis, The Smiths, Joy Division, Elbow, New Order and Take That. Head to Canal Street for the real Manchester vibe – this is one of the city's hottest night time spots and part of the famous gay scene. Before you leave don't miss out on visiting one of the country's most well-known streets: Coronation Street. Take a tour and have a photo outside the Rovers Return Inn with the traditional terraced houses in the background.
Manchester is bursting with hip culture, music, shops and museums. We've picked a few top attractions to help you enjoy your stay.
- Take a guided tour – this is a great way to see the city's top attractions and learn about Manchester's history. You can choose from different tour themes such as a Coronation Street tour, a market tour or an architecture tour or canal cruise.
- Manchester has many galleries and museums but one of the most unique is the Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art – this building has an enormous collection of work from South East Asia and is an education in the region as well as art history.
- Eat! You will eat well in Manchester as the city has eateries serving all the world's cuisines. Try James Martin's in a trendy Victorian warehouse for contemporary British fare with local meat and fish, or enjoy Aiden Byrne's Manchester House; a culinary adventure from start to finish.
- The Museum of Science and Industry is one of the city's top attractions for its sheer range of creative exhibitions across its five buildings. Have a look at how 3D printing works, join in debates about fracking or learn about X-Ray machines or the mechanics of the city's textile industry. You could spend hours here and only scratch the surface of science in Manchester.
- Football fans can over indulge in Manchester as the sport is one close to the city's heart – ask our concierge to try and get you tickets to see Manchester City or Manchester United or take a tour of Old Trafford and the Etihad Stadium. Manchester is also home to the National Football Museum which has a FIFA World Cup Collection and you can try your hand at commentating or hold your nerve while you take a virtual penalty.
- Hit the shops! You can choose from high street favourites to high end treats in Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger and Hermes. Manchester has a fantastic range of outlets across the city so ask the hotel concierge and they will direct you to the right part of town.
Manchester is an incredible place to shop. You will have fun browsing and discovering the perfect gift for a friend or topping up your wardrobe at one of the city's many stores. Here is just a small part of what Manchester has on offer so make sure you ask the concierge for more ideas.
The heart of the matter
The Arndale Centre is Manchester's key shopping centre and it is in the heart of the city. It is actually the UK's largest shopping centre, with all the high street brands you can imagine and more than 200 stores. You'll find everything from technology to fashion, from books to jewellery, from sports equipment to shoes galore. There are also plenty of places to stop and have a bite to eat or a drink.
Arty fun
The Northern Quarter is a popular area of the city with trendy artists' shops and galleries and it is a good place to head for a unique gift. Here you'll find a hand crafted piece of jewellery, original painting, quirky pottery and more. The delightful Manchester Craft and Design Centre is an absolute must and you'll love chatting to the artists as you browse in their tiny shops and studios. The Northern Quarter is known for its nightlife so after a hard day's shopping you can enjoy the bars, restaurants and clubs.
Historic design
What better place to stock up your wardrobe than in the Manchester Corn Exchange? The historic building is now a great shopping space filled with unique brands. This space has a 'limited edition' atmosphere and draws the crowds looking for something a bit different, with names such as Pop Issue, Army of Me, Mouli and Judas Sinned.
Outta town
Head out of town for some retail fun at the intuTrafford Centre. Only five miles away this huge modern shopping outlet is filled with more than 200 stores including the world famous Selfridges. The centre is a lively place with fashion shows, musical performances, a Sealife Centre and a Lego Discovery Land, as well as restaurants, bars and a cinema. You can easily spend a day here before retiring to the hotel to relax.

This news nugget is going to set liberals a-twitter: Gov. Rick Perry spoke at a private summit in Colorado Sunday hosted by Charles and David Koch, billionaire businessmen who have liberally funded conservative, pro-energy and anti-union causes.
The guest list and precise location of the four-day Vail summit are secret, the Denver Post reported, but Perry and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell have acknowledged attending.
Perry spokesman Mark Miner said Perry's participation had nothing to do with a possible presidential run.
'The governor was invited to attend a private meeting of business leaders and believed it was an opportunity to talk about the economic success in Texas. This was no different than other speeches the Governor gives talking about job creation and the economy in Texas," Miner said.
Nancy Pfotenhauer, a spokeswoman for Koch Industries, said the summit was designed to bring together job-makers to discuss the American economy.
"Our nation is at a crossroads, and the purpose of this conference is to develop support for the kind of free-market policies and initiatives that can get our country back on the path to economic prosperity and sustained job creation," Pfotenhauer said.
The Koch brothers have made billions of dollars in a wide range of industrial and energy investments, but they are publicity-shy. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker made headlines earlier this year when he engaged in a profane, politically charged conversation with a liberal "gonzo" journalist posing as David Koch.
Perry has headlined a number of speaking gigs around the country this month. He touted Texas' economic growth at the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials; spoke about Texas' balanced budget at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans; blasted President Barack Obama's economic policies as the keynote speaker at a New York City Republican fund-raising dinner; and discussed God at an anti-abortion rally at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.
Political speeches in Perry's future include an Aug. 12 speaking engagement at a Alabama Republican Party's summer fundraising dinner, an Aug. 13 appearance at the RedState blogger conference in South Carolina and a Oct. 28 keynote speech Cornerstone Action's annual awards dinner. He is schedule to speak at a non-political "Champions of Scouting Dinner" in San Diego tomorrow night.
Perry and his top political advisers say he will decide whether to seek the presidency after the conclusion of the Texas Legislature's special session.

Kris Kovalcik learned to appreciate family time as her family grew and she became the mother of three. Her daughter, Ellie, was diagnosed with mitochondrial disease when Ellie was 2 years old.
Kris said she pictured motherhood by becoming much like her mother, who is a loving, caring and an involved parent.
In 2002 after invetro fertilization, Kris and her husband, Matt, found out they were going to have twins. Ellie and Jimmy were born healthy 11 years ago. When Kris noticed Ellie was not walking on her own, she took her to a physical therapist.
A long journey with different doctors led to the diagnosis of mitochondrial disease. The disease has no cure and can cause loss of muscle coordination, as well as muscle weakness, neurological problems, developmental delays, gastrointestinal disorders and autonomic dysfunction.
"When they're first born, you're enamored with every little thing they do," Kris said. "Reality quickly hits in that you're responsible for this new life, but it doesn't matter because you're so in love."
In the early months, the couple began to think the doctors were wrong. Ellie was eating, talking and walking on her own.
"But she regressed as the disease progressed," Kris said.
The Kovalciks hit a breaking point when they almost lost Ellie in 2009. She couldn't breathe on her own and a tracheal tube was inserted.
"It's horrific to see your child lose all the abilities they once had; it makes you want to fight harder," Kris said.
Kris pressed forward with her motherly duties. Another challenge appeared before her after her son, Jimmy, was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Pervasive Developmental Disorder not otherwise specified, a form of autism.
Kris said despite the hardships, the family finds the humor in it all.
"We say silly things to Ellie and do it with a sense of humor so we can get through the day," Kris said.
Close friend Woodley Nelson thinks all the qualities Kris possesses as a friend makes her a wonderful mother.
"She's truly an authentic women and has a lot of awareness of the special needs of each of her children," Nelson said. "She has an energy level that I wish I could bottle and sell. With three children of my own, I still don't know how she does it."
Balancing three children is no simple task for Kris. Mary was born in 2006, adding more responsibility.
"They understand that Ellie needs more medical attention, but I also have a responsibility to spend time with my other two kids. We do everything as a family whether it's eating dinner together even though Ellie doesn't eat or playing board games."
Nelson said Kris is very in tune to each one of her children and aware of all their needs and caters to them.
"She's just a special person," Nelson said.
The family also has a ritual of saying, "Be good. Have fun. Work hard and be nice" every day before school. Kris taught her three children that everyone has a story and to treat everyone with kindness because you don't know what their story may be.
"You can't always see what someone is going through unlike Ellie where it shows, so I tell them to treat everyone fairly," Kris said. What Kris has discovered she enjoys most about being a mother is the love the family shares.
"I don't think that I'm special, but I do believe that mothers of special needs children tend to not take things for granted," Kris said.
For Kris, it has become the little things that make her the happiest about being a mother.

I mentioned it recently: Private cloud is killing the IT pro. However, I was being somewhat facetious, and my prediction applies solely to hardware IT "pros" who spend their days looking for red lights on server and switch bezels to swap out components. At this point, I'm not even sure we're categorizing that job as a strictly IT-oriented profession. Isn't that slowly blending into facilities management? For me, an IT pro covers both hardware and software: bezel green light configuration along with software server configuration.
Aside from my off-the-cuff mention, I've also recently read it elsewhere: Cloud computing is set to push the IT pro career over the cliff and into extinction. I can't get onboard with that, not only because it would put a certain IT snark out of business, but because all evidence points at the opposite. IT pros, your gig isn't going anywhere, but it is changing.

Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter and follow Cringely on Twitter. | Tell us your tech story! If we publish it, you get a $50 American Express gift cheque. Send your tale to firstname.lastname@example.com. ]
Then again, when hasn't change been the norm? From the bad old days of mainframes, pocket protectors, and sausage parties, we've evolved to Prada (sometimes), tablets, and supermodels buying us drinks in bars. OK, that last one's a little optimistic, but you get the point. Our business has been under constant evolution, and it's moving even more quickly right now. Still, that doesn't spell doom for the IT pro. It's change ... again.
Death by cloud and virtualization
The specific IT dodo myth tends to revolve around the specter of virtualization combined with the private and public cloud. This multiheaded monster will turn all networks into self-sustaining, self-configuring, self-remediating benevolent SkyNets and, thus, kill the IT pro. When you have instant infrastructure provisioning, policy-based scalability, and a network that runs at the cut-and-paste level, not the crack-the-rack level, who needs IT pros?
But even with market studies showing increased adoption of the cloud for all those benefits, has it cost anyone their job? I'm really asking. Ping me if you are one of the deceased or witnessed the same.
Sure, you can hop onto AWS and provision a Windows Server in a few minutes. But is that enough for anyone? Combining a cloud network with your HQ network, from layer 2 to layer 7, keeping identity management clean, knowing when and where to implement security, creating all those instabuild workload-provisioning policies, testing and patching the whole thing -- how is all that decreasing the need for IT?
The myth hangs that prediction mainly on automation. According to Microsoft and VMware, we can automate everything. Sure -- and I have a bargain for you on a bridge to Brooklyn. To this day, those guys can't even 100 percent agree on what a private cloud is, let alone how to automate one.
Just last year, I watched some poor sap try to build a full-on Microsoft private cloud. When he got to the app management and automation stage, he started crying and didn't stop until a PowerShell witch doctor showed up, sacrificed a chicken, and coded what amounts to a black box made of scripts, Gandalf's walking stick, and Harry Potter's spleen. That was in a test environment -- try it in a production environment under time and budget pressure and you'll feel like you've been roped in to a trapeze act with your infant sister and a terrified Doberman.
That raving lunatic also wasn't paying much attention to virtual networking. Maybe someday software-defined networking will make network management easier, but not today. Network management is primarily about diagnostics, deep layer performance management, capacity planning, big-time security, and the usual patching and testing routine especially when the network suddenly expands locally or chews its way past your firewall. SDN doesn't change a lot of that; it just moves it up a few layers.

Arts & Culture
Gore Vidal's Bully RepublicBy Henry Giardina
A few years ago, fresh off a diet of Wilde, Maugham, and Saki, I was beginning to feel disappointed by the gay pantheon. Not the actual writing—no one could find fault with that. It was the example of their lives that depressed me, ending more often than not in loneliness and/or despair, if not complete exile.
I remember having a conversation with my father about it. I told him what I'd really have liked to find, in my exhaustive search of the canon, was a gay superhero. You know: fucking dudes, saving the world. Never mind the fact that superheroes, with their notoriously contour-hugging apparel, are usually assumed gay by default. I wanted something that had existed, something from history. My father considered my criteria.
"I think what you want is Gore Vidal."
I think it took me all of one day to read Myra Breckinridge in full and possibly a month to process it. The cartoon version of gender deviance it put forth was one that, against all odds, enraptured me. From its famous opening ("I am Myra Breckinridge whom no man will ever possess") to Myra's core, radical aim in life ("the destruction of the last vestigial traces of traditional manhood in the race in order to realign the sexes…"), to the lengthy rape scene three quarters through, wherein Myra rapes a guy with a strap-on, comparing herself to an Amazon and making him say thank you afterward, the message was clear. She was the ultimate queer bully, taking no prisoners and getting a comeuppance so ridiculous that Vidal gives the reader no choice but to discount any kind of moral implications it might have otherwise had.

In the past, Google's Street View cameras have ventured off the streets to capture sites from the White House to Mexico's ancient ruins.
Now, the map program is letting users explore more than 75 miles of paths and trails surrounding the Grand Canyon, from ground level.
To capture the natural wonder, Google's team strapped on 40-pound, Android-operated backpacks carrying a 15-lens camera system. They traversed the rocky terrain on foot, collecting some 9,500 panoramas.
We tested out the program by taking a walking tour of one of the Canyon's most popular trails, the Bright Angel Trail, and saw some stunning views.

The Wanted star Max George has opened up about his relationship with Lindsay Lohan, revealing the troubled actress has been partying with them on tour and he feels proud to have kept her "out of trouble" over the last week.
The actress was enjoying an evening out in New York with the British pop stars last month when she was arrested for allegedly punching a fellow reveler at a Manhattan nightclub.
The Wanted stars subsequently defended Lohan and bandmember Jay McGuiness showed his support for her by performing at Madison Square Garden wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the message "Free Lindsay."
Lohan has since been traveling with the singers on the Jingle Ball tour, supporting them at a show in Philadelphia, Penn., on Wednesday, in Boston, Mass., on Thursday and again at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday.
She was even photographed embracing George, sparking rumors of a blossoming new romance.
George has now opened up about his relationship with Lohan, revealing she has been having a good time during the tour.
During an interview on New York radio station Z100, he said, "I think we've proved to ourselves, if we can stay out of trouble and keep her out of trouble this week, then we're obviously outstanding citizens of the community, and we've managed to do both, so I'm quite proud of that," while McGuiness interjected, "Aside from the first night (when she was arrested)."
However, George has suggested that Lohan is drinking again despite her numerous stints in rehab, stating, "She always brings vodka to the table, that's definitely one thing… It's fine. She's good company."
Meanwhile, in an interview with the Huffington Post, George adds, "I love that she can party nearly as hard as we can. We had a big night on the bus where (British singer) Ed Sheeran came on with us and a few of our mates as well, and we just had one big party. It was great…"
"I'm sure she's got people around her that know her much better than we do. We're probably not the best influence, to be honest."

High versus Low: Pop Quiz Time!
Update: The majority is right. Table A is the Mirrored-Top Tray Table from Horchow and retails for $699. Table B is the Country Living tray side table from Kmart and is currently on sale for $69.99. Sometimes it absolutely pays to shop around!

I'm guessing table two is the bargain, only bec. of the background. I love both of the tables! Crazy to pay so much when you just know a knock-off is out there somewhere.
- March 4, 2010 at 12:13 PM
- Isabella & Max Rooms said...
FUN! I love trying to figure out stuff like this...I'd say the top table is the high version, only due to the pattern along the edges of the tray being more detailed. The bases look identical. Regardless, I spend the $69 and walk away with a big smile on my face! Janell

Hmmm this one is hard. I'm guessing A is the pricey one, because the line where the mirror meets the wood is so tight. On the bottom one, there appears to be a bit of a gap. But I could be totally wrong. Fun quiz! Bring 'em on!

Averill I already know the answer because I remember when this was posted and I still am in awe of the less expensive one. Love it!! I won't cheat so it will be interesting to see how it comes out. Have a great day!! Kathysue

Averill, thanks for the visit. I know aren't they fun. I actually had spotted that fabric on a pillow way before I set out to do the playroom in fact remember my new crush color? Kelly green. This is in that family and I was beyond thrilled when I found it. Now for the best part, HOMEGOODS. I died and was almost doing the happy dance when it worked and then the linen fabric pillow was another Happy Dance moment. They put these out awhile ago but they still had a lot of them at my HG. They also had it in a lumbar pillow that was cool. Thank you for being such a wonderul, faithful reader of my blog, I love seeing you there, Have a great day. Kathysue

I only know the answer b/c I did a post on them when they made the rounds. They are so similar aren't they? You'd be crazy to pay the "high".....unless you didn't know what to do with your $$ I suppose. Fun post.

I can't vote - I know the answer via Beth, but I'll be curious as to how many people guess correctly!

Just voted. The suspense is killing me! :D
- March 4, 2010 at 3:22 PM

I'm in the minority, I think they look almost identical, although the top seems more square!

Cheated a little bit, since I posted about the cheaper one a while back. Isn't it the cutest! Can't believe it's from Kmart!!
- March 4, 2010 at 3:56 PM
- Marija said...
Okay I voted though I knew the answer. Is that cheating? But this was so fun I got all caught up in it! And I'll admit that even though I knew the answer I did a double take...

It's wonderful in person-very well made.
- March 5, 2010 at 8:33 AM
- Liz @ It's Great To Be Home said...
I'm thinking A is the higher-end one because the detailing is a bit more fine, and the styling looks a little higher end. ?? :)
- March 5, 2010 at 8:59 AM
- SogniSorrisi said...
Love this! I said Table A, but they look pretty much the same to me.
- March 5, 2010 at 9:27 AM
- Dumbwit Tellher said...
I opted for A - thinking the more ornate design would be more costly to produce. Eeek...hope I'm right?!!
Both are fabulous, no doubt. Wishing you & Dave a beautiful sunny Houston weekend Averill!

Apparently because of persistent pressures from a stonewall front of Hindu organizations, the South African government announced a surprising reversal of its deportation orders on 8 white American Hare Krishna devotees whose visas had expired, and said it will grant them permission to stay in South Africa to complete their major building program - the monumental 2 - million dollar temple and community center in Chatsworth.
The concentrated campaign protesting the January ruling, spearheaded by lay Hindu leaders of several groups, reached its climax at a mass meeting in Durban organized by the South Africa Hindu Maha Sabha in Durban on January 15, where over 500 gathered to chant, pray and give speeches supporting ISKCON. Having flown from his France headquarters to make an official plea to the government, Bhagawan Goswami Srila Gurudeva, an initiated Guru of the worldwide Vaishnavite organization, sat on a red velvet, flower-bedecked throne and told the gathering, "If Krishna wants us to stay, no government is going to move us. If Krishna wants us to go, no one is going to keep us." The 34-year old white American ISKCON Guru led singing and told all that he had never seen such among Indian people. Heads of several organizations shared the platform. One speaker praised the Hare Krishna movement for its role in stemming the "action of Hindus converting easily to Christianity," adding, "Now Hindus are once again becoming proud of their religion." Hare Krishna devotees had "brought about a renaissance in the Hindu community," chimed another (Sunday Tribune).
A petition drafted at the meeting by the South African Maha Sabha (SAHMS) and ISKCON called on the Department of the Interior to give official status to ISKCON as a religious body and to grant visas to their members from abroad who were replacing outgoing management and teachers. It called for a halt to the exportation in lieu of their "humanitarian work" in the country. Presented to Minister of Internal Affairs Mr. F.W. De Klerk on February 4th in Capetown by an impressive four-man delegation from Durban: J.N. Reddy (member of the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Committee), A. Rajbansi, Gopi Mussook and Butch Persadh (secretary of the SAHMS), the petition yielded immediate results. Pending a final decision, the devotees were permitted could stay and continue working on the Radha Radanath Temple, which, Mr. Persadh had warned, would become a white elephant if left unfinished. The Daily News reported that a personal inspection of the temple by Director General of the Department of Internal Affairs Mr. S.S. Van Der Merwe was a turning point in the final decision.
Later, at a special press conference, Mr. Rajbansi announced the government's final verdict - to allow extension of the visas, upon re-application, until the temple project is complete, which is expectedly the spring of 1984. Mr. Rajbansi commented that the ISKCON devotees "are part of our community and we are now working with the government to map out a formula whereby future devotees, priests and religious specialists will be able to come to South Africa to do their work officially." By establishing patterns and precedents, in the long run this intelligent show of Hindu social and religious force in South Africa may well benefit not only ISKCON, but others organizations as well.

Patients in China are swarming to acupuncture clinics to be given bee stings to treat or ward off life-threatening illness, practitioners say.
More than 27,000 people have undergone the painful technique — each session can involve dozens of punctures — at Wang Menglin's clinic in Beijing, says the bee acupuncturist who makes his living from believers in the concept.
However, except for trying to prevent allergic reactions to the stings themselves, there is no orthodox medical evidence that bee venom is effective against illness, and rationalist Web sites in the West describe so-called "apitherapy" as "quackery."
"We hold the bee, put it on a point on the body, hold its head, and pinch it until the sting needle emerges," Wang said at his facility on the outskirts of the capital.
The bee — Wang said he uses an imported Italian variety — dies when it stings.
"We've treated patients with dozens of diseases, from arthritis to cancer, all with positive results," Wang said.
Bee stings can be used to treat "most common diseases of the lower limbs," he added, claiming they also work as a preventative measure.
However, sciencebasedmedicine.org, a US-based Web site, says that such claims of panaceas and cure-alls are "always a red flag for quackery."
"There is no scientific evidence to support its use," it says of "apitherapy," or treatment with bee products.
One of Wang's patients said doctors told him he had lung and brain cancer and gave him little over a year to live, but he now believes he has almost doubled his life expectancy and credits bee stings for the change.
"From last year up until now, I think I'm getting much stronger," the patient said.
However, the American Cancer Society says on its Web site: "There have been no clinical studies in humans showing that bee venom or other honeybee products are effective in preventing or treating cancer."
"Relying on this type of treatment alone and avoiding or delaying conventional medical care for cancer may have serious health consequences," it says.
It adds that there is a Koranic reference to the medicinal properties of the liquid produced by bees, and that Charlemagne (742-814), the first Holy Roman Emperor, is said to have been treated with bee stings.
In the West, bee stings have also been used by sufferers of multiple sclerosis (MS), an often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system.
However, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society of the US says on its Web site: "In spite of long-standing claims about the possible benefits of bee venom for people with MS, a 24-week randomized study showed no reduction in disease activity, disability, or fatigue, and no improvement in quality of life."
Bee venom is one of the many traditional Chinese medicine treatments derived from animals and plants — some of which are blamed for endangering particular wildlife species.
Traditional medicine is a major part of China's healthcare system and a booming industry which continues to receive significant investment and support from the central government.
Many people in China cannot afford to buy the latest orthodox pharmaceuticals as national health insurance is limited.
Older people — who are more likely to fall ill — also favor traditional remedies because of deep-rooted cultural beliefs in the power of natural, rather than modern, ingredients. Most hospitals in China have traditional medicine treatments available.

On Friday evening, a jury ruled that Cisco owes patent licenser XpertUniverse Inc $70 million in damages for obtaining patented technology in a fraudulent manner, Reuters reported. The jury ruled that Cisco owed an additional $34,000 for violating two XpertUniverse patents, as well.
XpertUniverse, a New York-based company, brought the case in the US District Court of Delaware. The company said that Cisco violated non-disclosure terms agreed upon when the two organizations started working together in 2004. The agreement stated "Cisco would distribute technology XpertUniverse had developed to efficiently match customers with call center experts," wrote Reuters.
Cisco ended the relationship in 2007 and one year later launched its "Expert on Demand" service that, for example, a company might use to set up a hotline for its customers. XpertUniverse brought its suit in 2009.
There are two patents at issue in the case. The first is patent number 7366709 (the '709 patent), which is described as a "system and method for managing questions and answers using subject lists styles." The second is patent number 7499903 (the '903 patent), which covers "semantic to non-semantic routing for locating a live expert." Both of these deal with matching human inquiries with the right information from a database, or connecting that human with a subject matter expert.
Cisco told Reuters it was "extremely disappointed" with the verdict, and the company will appeal if the judge lets the current award stand. On the other side, an attorney from XpertUniverse said the company was "obviously very happy" with the verdict.

This is a common cat behavior. Your head is the warmest part of your body, and the cat has discovered this. Cats like warm things.

First derivative bounded by supremum of difference of values in disc
Let $f$ be holomorphic in the disk $D_1(0)$ and let $d=\operatorname{diam}(f(D_1(0))$. I want to show that
$$2|f'(0)|\leq d$$
I have the following:
Let $\gamma$ be the circle of radius $r<1$ traversed counter-clockwise. Let $-\gamma$ be the same circle traversed clockwise.
By Cauchy's integral formula for derivatives, we have that
$$f'(0)=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_\gamma \frac{f(\theta)}{\theta^2}d\theta=-\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{-\gamma}\frac{f(\theta)}{\theta^2}d\theta=-\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_\gamma \frac{f(-\theta)}{\theta^2}d\theta$$
$$\begin{align} 2f'(0) &=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_\gamma \frac{f(\theta)-f(-\theta)}{\theta^2} \; d\theta\\ \end{align}$$
and by the standard estimate
$$\begin{align} 2|f'(0)| &=|\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_\gamma \frac{f(\theta)-f(-\theta)}{\theta^2}d\theta|\\ &\leq \frac{1}{2\pi}\max_{\theta \in \gamma}\{|\frac{f(\theta)-f(-\theta)}{\theta^2}|\}2\pi r\\ &\leq r\max_{\theta \in \gamma}\{|\frac{f(\theta)-f(-\theta)}{\theta^2}|\} \end{align}$$ which is almost what I want, but not quite.
We haven't discussed the maximum modulus principle in class, so I can't use that. Any suggestions as to how to finish this up?
