We enjoy vilifying and excoriating these rogue cops in the most public forum possible. They have no problems making false accusations with false arrest, bogus indictments and fraudulent investigations to serve their own needs. Let's see how they like it when the shoe is on the other foot and their names are published forever on the web about their dirty deeds and family secrets.
Our goal and mantra are simple: Expose all of the madness, mendacity and internal corruption within the leadership and ranks of the Phoenix PD while allowing citizens and good cops to comment on the bad ones and underscore their bad behavior.
In January 2011, police chief Jack Harris was forced to step down and take an early retirement, because he was being investigated by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) for lying before Congress.
While we can't take full credit for toppling the former police chief Jack Harris, we sure did help. But we are far from finished. The acting police chief is just another dirty cop named Joe Yahner who was loyal to Jack and equally as dirty.
There are many more assclowns in the Phoenix PD – dirty cops with names like Mike Polombo, Theron Quaas, Heather Armstrong Polombo, Joe Yahner, Joe Knott, Louie Tovar, Benny Pina, Jim Pina, Murray "Andy" Anderson, Mark Hafkey and Eric Edwards – just to name a few. They were and are all dirty friends and supporters of Jack Harris and are part of his axis of evil.
We know many good cops and pride needs to be brought back to the Phoenix PD. Our letters and tireless work with good cops, forced the removal of Jack Harris and will hopefully force many more to retire in shame, never to work again in law enforcement.
Got dirt on a Phoenix cop or have a good story to tell about the Phoenix PD? Do you know of a Phoenix cop who is cheating on their spouse or having other domestic or marital problems? How about drugs or a DUI? An unsavory Facebook page or other dirty indiscretions? Got some dirt on any leaders in the Phoenix PD?

[1]A program designed to help consumers weather harsh economic conditions is getting an extension[2] at Wegmans Food Markets.
Last year, the privately-held grocery chain voluntarily froze prices on a variety of staple products. Wegmans has implemented a new list of price freezes on 246 separate items. Prices on the products in the list will remain frozen until April 6, USA TODAY notes.
Wegmans started freezing prices on basic food products in 2011 in the facing of rising gas prices and high unemployment. The list includes food and other products based on their seasonal demand. The chain determines which items make the list based on customer surveys.
The entire list of products can be found on Wegmans website. The list includes dairy, meat, produce, frozen foods and seafood. The chain is also continuing its free prescription program for the generic anti-cholesterol drug, atorvastatin. The program, which was initially expected to end on April 27, will now extend to the end of the year.

The issue is how to monitor the state of the existing paths in a table within this regime. Alasdair -- agk redhat com

Bite and Bourne Merge to Create Global Marketing Services Agency
By: Business Wire
Nov. 29, 2012 03:06 AM
Andy Cunningham, recently-named CEO of Bite Communications, today announced the integration of Bourne, a fast-growing UK-based creative digital marketing agency with offices in Glasgow and New York, into Bite. With the addition of 50 professionals bringing new expertise to the company's offering, Bite now delivers a complete line of marketing services globally. Services include strategy and insight, public relations, marketing communications, creative and content, and digital and technology products and services. The combined worldwide 15-office, 300-person team will operate under the brand "Bite" with Bourne CEO Dan Kersh joining the global board as head of Bite's internal marketing delivery team, reporting to Cunningham. "We welcome the Bourne team into the Bite family," said Cunningham. "This merger is accelerating Bite's evolution to becoming a strategic marketing agency that addresses a client's entire marketing lifecycle from strategy to planning to execution." The Bite-Bourne merger follows two years of Bite acquisitions in the digital space, including OneXeno, ILS and the Hong Kong-based search team from Red Bricks Media (RBM). Together with last year's acquisition of German-based marketing consultancy Trademark Consulting, Bite further enhances its ability to deliver truly global, digitally-focused marketing programs for its client base. "We've enjoyed a really positive relationship with Bite over the past few months. The process of bringing together the agencies has been pretty exhaustive to ensure we create the optimal structure and services for our clients," said Dan Kersh, CEO of Bourne. "We work with senior marketers at amazing companies. And, we are creating transformative marketing technologies and developing practical business processes that will enable our clients to thrive." With the Bourne integration, Bite will now provide enhanced global digital marketing services to clients, from insight and strategy, to website build, social media engagement, search marketing and technology development, such as applications and email marketing programs. This is complemented by Bite's existing world-class public relations offerings and heightened focus on content with its recent hires of high-profile journalists from the new media, IT, channel and consumer sectors, including former Times of London features editor and Google communications director, Mike Harvey, and former editor of UK-based New Media Age, Justin Pearse. "At Bite, we've always prided ourselves on providing the best counsel and most impactful campaigns to our global client base," said Cunningham. "However, the continuing changes in the marketing and communications landscape are profound, with consumers constantly talking, sharing and influencing. They are always on—and marketers need to respond accordingly. The new Bite helps them do exactly that." The combined global team now includes digitally-savvy strategists, content creators with expertise in text to video and data, a dedicated brand and creative team, PR practitioners, a technology marketing group and more than 100 dedicated digital and social experts. Bite's current client portfolio—Avaya, Citi, FedEx, Marriott, Microsoft, Mozilla, Nokia, SAP, Sony, Telefónica Digital and Toys "R" Us, among others—will now include current Bourne clients, such as Arcadia, Dell, eClerx, Equinix, MetLife and Ricoh. "The merger is going to have a significant impact on the way we deliver services to our clients across our 15 offices. Most importantly, it will massively enhance our ability to deliver strong work across multiple channels and in multiple markets to help connect our clients with today's consumer," said Cunningham. About Bite With 15 locations around the world, Bite is a global marketing services agency with a proven methodology that helps clients develop differentiated positions, build digital footprints and win in the marketplace. Our business- and tech-savvy teams work with companies who are innovating in their fields, disrupting markets and changing the world.

The heartbreaking images and stories from the Newtown, Conn., tragedy continue to dominate the media as well as our thoughts and conversations.
It's difficult enough for adults to comprehend, but what about children? How can parents and teachers deal with a child's confusion, or fear, about what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School? Should they be shielded from such tragic news, or brought into the conversation? What should a parent say? Dr. Michele Winchester-Vega, a psychiatric social worker in New Windsor, will address that subject at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday during a recordonline.com live chat. Winchester-Vega, who has been contacted by social workers in Newtown to possibly help with counseling there, will share suggestions for parents about how to talk to their children about this tragedy and help address their fears about their own safety.

Computer Settings
- Pop-up blockers will need to be disabled for the eTAG system. In most cases, you can set your pop-up blocker to "always allow" for the eTAG system. If you are not automatically prompted to allow for pop-ups when you enter the eTAG system, you will need to enter https://vision21.txdmv.gov/ into your pop-up program as an allowed site.
- Plug-ins should be enabled for the eTAG site.
- ActiveX filtering should be unchecked within the eTAG site. If you have problems printing with the Adobe Reader® ActiveX® plug-in while using the Internet Explorer® browser, here is another workaround:
- In Adobe Reader® or Acrobat®, choose Edit > Preferences.
- Select Internet.
- Deselect "Display PDF In Browser", and then click OK.
- Phishing filters may interfere with processing eTAG. Disable the filters on your computer or set them to "always allow" access from https://vision21.txdmv.gov/.
- Set your computer's security setting at medium or make an exception for the eTAG system by adding https://vision21.txdmv.gov/ to your allowed sites.
- Your computer's content advisor may need to be disabled or set to allow access to https://vision21.txdmv.gov/.
If you are unsure of how to change the settings on your computer, please consult the "Help" manual that was installed on your computer with the operating system. If you have installed other programs, such as an anti-virus program or your online provider gave you phishing filters and pop-up blocker features, please consult with your internet service provider about how to change your settings for use with the eTAG system.
Other considerations
- Check for any critical updates to your operating system, browser(s) and Adobe Acrobat® or Adobe Reader®. Visit the respective software manufacturer's website to check for updates and follow their instructions for downloading and installing these updates.
- If problems persist, you may uninstall and reinstall Adobe Reader®. Sometimes, an incomplete installation of this application may prevent printing.
- If printing problems persist while using Internet Explorer®, you may wish to install another browser to use with eTAG, such as Mozilla Firefox®.
Printing Problems
If you click on "Print Tag Image" or "Reprint Tag Image" and get an error message, first be sure you have Adobe Reader installed on your computer.
If you are still having trouble printing with Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader, try using an alternate web browser or change your Adobe Reader preferences to open documents directly in Adobe Reader. Here's how:
- Open Adobe Acrobat Reader.
- Select "Preferences" from the Edit menu.
- Select "Internet" from the Categories: list.
- Uncheck the box that says "Display PDF in browser"
When you click on "Print Tag Image" Internet Explorer will ask you to verify that you want to download the file. Then retry the webpage. The tag and receipts will now open in a separate, stand-alone version of the Adobe Reader.
If you can log in but cannot print or if you can't log in to the eTAG system
- If you can log onto the system but can't print the eTAG images, try reprinting the tag image. If this does not work, use an Internet Down Tag to manually enter the owner and vehicle information, and contact the eTAG Help Desk for assistance.
Trailers without VINs
Many utility trailers less than 4,000 lbs. do not have a VIN. The eTAG System requires a VIN to obtain a buyer's tag or a vehicle-specific dealer tag. To complete the transaction, in the VIN field, you will enter the words "novin" along with the date and time.
For example: novin04052015341 represents a no VIN trailer eTAG transaction was processed on 04/05/2015 at 3:41 pm.
You will still have the option to obtain a VIN for the trailer frame from the TxDMV Regional Service Centers.
More Help
If you have problems with the eTAG Database, please provide feedback with as much specific information as possible so we can troubleshoot the problem. Here's what we need to know:
- Your license (P) number
- All locations tied to the license number
- All DBAs associated to that license (and location of each DBA)
- A contact person and a phone number where they can be reached

Securing Web services requires out-of-box thinking
Everything that makes XML an attractive Web services and integration tool can also open dangerous pathways so hackers may gain access to critical services and back-office systems.
How to bring agility to your DevOps team?
Learn how to successfully adopt a DevOps in your organisation as well as how to improve the agility of the team and draw inspiration for your DevOps project from 3 case studies.

XML Web services are interfaces into applications, and attacks on the transport layer are different and potentially more dangerous than ubiquitous e-mail and network-aware worms. Because of its readable form, a crafty hacker can easily hijack an unsecured XML Web services message, inject malicious code, listen for and steal sensitive data or shut down a service.
In the meantime, enterprises experimenting with internal Web services or are courageous enough to send them to business partners or customers are advised not to rely on traditional network defenses like routers, firewalls and load balancers. These tools work at the network layer and not the application layer.
A recent white paper from Waltham, Mass.-based ZapThink LLC points out that traditional firewalls inspect message packets, and while some can inspect the content of a message, those inspections are looking for established attack signatures. They can't read structured, meaningful XML traffic.
Enterprises are advised to add security like digital signatures, encryption and means of authentication to preserve the integrity of messages. Others could opt for an XML firewall or a software- or appliance-based tool that reads the content of XML messages, parses those messages and routes them according to whatever is defined in an enterprise's security policy.
Yet XML messages are bulky to begin with, and adding security measures to them, adds to the volume of network traffic. However, network administrators will have to learn to deal with this issue as ZapThink and others believe that XML traffic will account for 35% of network traffic by 2007, up from 3% today.
"The most important thing enterprises want is to be secure enough to get the business done [the way] they want to," said John Lilly, chief technology officer at Reactivity Inc., an XML and Web services security vendor in Belmont, Calif.
Lilly said companies that have exposed Web services to customers, partners and suppliers are more sensitive to security concerns.
"They recognize the external perimeter is disintegrating," Lilly said. "They recognize the need to encrypt data and the need to bring auditing and governance to Web services applications."
XML Web services messages require application-level security methodologies. ZapThink identified six requirements, including authentication and authorization, which confirms the sender is whom they claim to be and have permission to send and receive messages. Confidentiality of the message is also a must, in particular where large sums of money or sensitive data is being exchanged. The integrity of the message -- that it has not been altered in transport -- has to be guaranteed. A nonrepudiation element has to be included as well that assures both parties received the message and when it was sent and received. Finally, systems must be in place to defend against attacks.

Vizrt provides Lockheed Martin interactive big data visualization tools
(October 07, 2013) DMN Newswire--2013-10-7--Vizrt has collaborated with Lockheed Martin to develop a solution that visualizes big data in an interactive platform called the Multi-Touch Executive Dashboard (MED). To graphically visualize big data, MED combines Lockheed Martin?s real-time data asset management software, Microsoft?s Perceptive Pixel displays, andVizrt?s Viz Artist for 3D modeling, animation, and graphics creation, and Viz Engine for real-time 3D graphics visualization and rendering at resolutions of up to 4K.
The first large-scale big data visualization implemented is Lockheed Martin?s MED-E (Multi-Touch Executive Dashboard for Energy), designed to graphically illustrate layers of high-volume information about the status of energy resources, distribution, and supply. For example, WindOptimizer is a MED-E suite of cloud-based services that provide real-time sensor data, including weather forecast prediction and wind energy supplies, so that wind farms, power companies, and other energy companies can provide for more cost-efficient wind resource management.
Vizrt R&D teams in Europe along with designers and support in the United States worked closely with Lockheed Martin to design a system that had to meet a high-standard of quality for data visualization while at the same time be very flexible in its application. This allows for a wide range of industries to be able to utilize the product and have it customized for their specific needs.
?In developing the MED-E platform, we wanted to push the boundaries of Viz Artist and Viz Engine as a powerful live data harvester and interactive visualization platform,? said Petter Ole Jakobsen, Vizrt?s CTO, based in Bergen, Norway. ?For MED-E, we?re taking multiple silos of data sources and coalescing them into one final, scalable, big picture visualization representing all these different data layers. And we are doing it live when live data is available.?
The MED platform interface allows multiple users to select icons that bring up multiple graphics and visual elements that they can then manipulate and interact with on Perceptive Pixel?s 82-inch LCD display. Viz Artist was chosen for use inthe MED and MED-E visualization platforms because its 64-bit environment features advanced data gathering tools and plugins. The plugins allow designers to integrate custom logic easily into a scene, creating interactive elements such as click buttons or support for touchscreens. And, as a powerful rendering engine, Viz Engine is used as the complete graphics and video layer for applications requiring high-fidelity, low latency content and interactivity.
?The MED platform can also be adapted to a wide range of vertical markets?such as medical imaging, military defense, energy exploration, geo-intelligence, and business information/intelligence systems and supply chain analytics?where knowledge workers need to make timely decisions based upon their understanding of relevant big data,? said Matt Kier, principal project engineer for Lockheed Martin. ?Lockheed Martin and Vizrt have worked together on several projects and our relationship has been mutually beneficial. The Vizrt development teams in Norway, Austria, Thailand, and across the globe have helped us develop a platform that is easily integrated for our international customers, visually intuitive and tailored for any customer language.?
?This collaboration with Lockheed Martin is incredibly exciting,? added Jakobsen. ?Together we?re developing a solution to one of today?s most complex problems, that of capturing, harnessing, and managing big data using a very user-friendly, interactive, 3D graphics-rich data visualization platform.?
About Lockheed Martin:
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs about 116,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products, and services. The corporation?s net sales for 2012 were $47.2 billion.

Can The President's Health Care Proposal Survive Reconciliation?
According to Paul Van de Water, a health care and budget expert at the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, and an 18 year veteran of the Congressional Budget Office, the majority of President Obama's proposal is good to go.
"I think that most of the provisions, by far, in the President's 11-page outline probably do have a budgetary impact and are probably therefore OK," Van de Water told me yesterday, though he cautioned, "None of us is really in a position to say what the parliamentarian is ultimately going to determine."
Under reconciliation, according to Van de Water, measures that have a budgetary impact are generally given a pass, unless the Senate parliamentarian determines their budgetary impact is "incidental"--i.e. that the budgetary ramifications are subordinate to the policy. That means the Senate should be able to adopt the most important elements of the Obama plan: increased subsidies, scaling back the excise tax, and closing the Medicare Part D donut hole.
Other issues might be a harder sell. For instance, Obama proposes databasing complaints against Medicare and Medicaid providers--a measure that could save money, but, which, is hardly just a budgeting item.
"That's an uncertain one," Van de Water says, even though "the clear purpose of that is to save money for Medicare and for the government."
Assuming the bulk of the proposal can pass muster, then, it has to meet two more standards: It must reduce the deficit by a billion dollars over five years, and be deficit neutral or better after that. Van de Water thinks it's probably in the ballpark.
Though certain items--subsidies, closing the donut hole, etc.--will be costly, Van de Water points out several areas where the proposal generates revenue.
"The further expansion of the Medicare tax to include unearned income, the change to the Medicare advantage payments to save more than what was in the Senate bill...provisions speeding up provision of generic drugs," all will help pull the proposal into line with the demands of the budget. But there may need to be some tweaks.
"They've done some calculation to lead them to think that the package as a whole is deficit neutral, or saves a billion dollars over five years," Van de Water says. "They're clearly in the ballpark, but nobody, not even in the administration, can project a CBO cost estimate."

Dana Point trolley may start rolling next year
DANA POINT – Residents may see a new trolley system running through the city in 2014, thanks to a new funding opportunity through the county's transit authority.
Dana Point is one of five cities to apply for funding from the Orange County Transportation Authority's Project V – which encourages the development of local transportation to meet community needs, according to Transportation Authority documents. If funds are allocated to Dana Point, the city would develop a summer trolley system and a series of shuttle routes, according to the city's resolution.
Laguna Beach has had a summer trolley system since the 1970s and Anaheim's city council approved plans for a $319 million street car system in November. Laguna Beach also applied for funding through Project V, along with Huntington Beach, Lake Forest and La Habra.
With the Project V funding, the county transit agency can allocate money to seven or eight cities over five years for local transportation systems. Each city can receive a maximum of $525,000 a year for five years, with the potential for a program extension, according to agency documents.
The review process is competitive and the transit authority is reviewing the applications, said spokeswoman Laura Scheper. The Transportation Authority will announce funding in late June, Scheper said.
Public Works and Engineering Director Brad Fowler has been working on Dana Point's application for the past three months.
"I was pretty much the guy," Fowler said. "It was pretty much my baby."
The Dana Point application proposes the building of 15 bus stops in the city. These stops would be used for trolley and shuttle routes throughout the year including a summer trolley system down Pacific Coast Highway, a summer shuttle between Dana Hills High School and the harbor and some year-round special events shuttles. The city has proposed these transportation systems operate free of charge.
"As a resort city and a harbor city, we have many guests and we have many residents that use the harbor and Pacific Coast Highway, particularly in the summertime and during events," Fowler said. "This will help reduce the� amount of vehicles and their issues on the road, whether it be congestion or pollution."
This isn't the first time Dana Point has applied for county transit funding. In 2008 the city applied for funding for a tri-city trolley with San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano through the county transit agency's Project S – a project aimed at improving commuter transportation. The city did not receive the funding, however, Fowler said, because it was working on serving visitors rather than commuters.
Fowler, who has worked for the city for eight years, said he has worked extensively with the Transportation Authority and continually expressed Dana Point's transit needs to the agency. When the transit authority reached out to him about Project V, he immediately began working on the application, he said, and is confident the city will receive funding as it is more suited to the city's needs than Project S was.
"I think we have an excellent chance," he said. "We have a good application"
The applications will be evaluated on a scoring system based on criteria such as the local and regional benefit, the area served and project readiness.
If Dana Point receives funding, Fowler said, the city will need to spend the rest of the year building the bus stops and then the trolley and shuttle systems would be in place starting the summer of 2014.
"People really won't notice much difference until next summer, in 2014, when they notice a trolley running up and down Pacific Coast Highway," he said.
For the first year, Dana Point is asking for $120,000 to build the bus stops and $260,000 for shuttle operation and maintenance. There is an estimated cost of $75,000 for startup marketing and advertising the city would have to pay for, but Dana Point also has $1 million in Coastal Transit Program funds that can be spent at a rate of $100,000 a year.
Because of this, no general funds would have to be used in the implementation of this program and it would cut out the annual $15,000 in general funds that the city already spends on shuttles for special events like the Festival of Whales.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
OMAHA, Neb. – Chad Girodo keeps mowing them down.
The senior left-hander recorded 10 strikeouts Monday night in Mississippi State's 5-4 win over Indiana in the College World Series.
It was his third consecutive strong outing in NCAA postseason play.
Over those three appearances, Girodo (9-1) has struck out 32 batters in 172⁄3 innings. He worked 52⁄3 innings against Indiana to pick up his third win in NCAA play this year.
On the season, Girodo has 73 strikeouts in 52 innings.
Fitts' work
MSU starting pitcher Trevor Fitts drew his third start of the NCAA tournament, and it was a short one again. But his coaches don't expect him to go deep into games.
Fitts went 21⁄3 innings, giving him a total of 71⁄3 innings of work over his last three starts. He gave up two runs on two hits, walked one and tied a career high with four strikeouts.
State looked to have a rally going in the fifth with two men on and one out, but Alex Detz hit a line drive that was snagged by Coursen-Carr, who fired to first for the double play.
New K mark
MSU pitchers posted 14 strikeouts, a team record for a CWS game. In 1990, the Bulldogs had 11 strikeouts versus Georgia Southern, and it had 11 against UCLA in 1997.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Walker Unveils Budget -- Says Cuts Will Be More Painful If Dems Don't Return
"The biennial budget I introduce today is built on the savings supplied by our budget repair bill," Walker said.
Walker's budget would cut spending by 6.7%, or $4.2 billion. In his address, Walker said that the cuts would hit harder if the 14 Senate Democrats who have left the state to avoid a vote on the budget repair bill do not return.
"As we decrease spending, we also increase flexibility so local government and state government have the tools to deal with reduced revenue," Walker said."It's true we are reducing aid to local government by just over one and a quarter billion dollars, but we are providing almost $1.5 billion in savings through our budget repair bill. If the 14 Senate democrats do not come home, their local communities will be forced to manage these reductions in aid without the benefit of the tools provided in the repair bill. On the other hand, if the Senate democrats do come home, local units of government overall will actually see a net increase in revenue plus savings of more than $150 million."
Walker issued a similar warning to the Democrats about cuts to education.
"Again, this is why it is so vitally important for the Senate democrats to come back and do their jobs," he said. "If they do not, our schools face massive layoffs of teachers. However, if they do come back, overall savings for schools across the state will outweigh reductions, ultimately allowing schools to put more money in the classroom."

I have a facebook page up and running (and have done since November but ive forgotten to link it here) you can find it at www.facebook.com/LeolaruaCospl… i update more frequently there and show my WIPs.
Last convention i attended was May MCM Expo, now known as Comic Con. I had a lousy time really, i dont know why i still go as i always have a rubbish time. I wore Alibaba on the Friday and finally got some nice pictures of the costume. Saturday i wore Lux, which was a rush job in a week, and im not happy with it but it was made in a week so oh well. Sunday i wore Jace, which i was mega excited for and i had a good time with Aranel, even though the costume was far to hot and i ended up just rolling around on the floor because the floor was cold.
Next up is Ayacon since i couldnt go to Japan Expo in the end. Tidus is already in progress and should be done by Ayacon, if i finish him in good time then i can make a costume for Friday. Otherwise my plans are Lux, Tidus and Raikov.
Anyway i think that's about it!

Thomas M. Liggett
Thomas Milton Liggett (born March 29, 1944)[1] is a mathematician at the University of California, Los Angeles. He works in probability theory, specializing in interacting particle systems.
He has contributed to numerous areas of probability theory, including subadditive ergodic theory, random graphs, renewal theory, and is best known for his pioneering work on interacting particle systems, including the contact process, the voter model, and the exclusion process.[2][3] His two books in this field have been influential.[4][5]
Tom Liggett was the managing editor of the Annals of Probability from 1985–1987. He held a Sloan Research Fellowship from 1973–1977, and a Guggenheim Fellowship from 1997–1998. He was the Wald Memorial Lecturer of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics in 1996, and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2008.[6][7] More recently, he has been elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2012,[8] and in 2012 he also became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[9]
Liggett moved at the age of two with his missionary parents to Latin America, where he was educated in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and San Juan (Puerto Rico). He graduated from Oberlin College in 1965, where he was influenced towards probability by Samuel Goldberg (b. 1925), an ex-student of William Feller. He moved to Stanford, taking classes with Kai Lai Chung, and writing a PhD thesis in 1969 with advisor Samuel Karlin on problems associated with the invariance principle. He joined the faculty at UCLA in 1969, where he has spent his entire career since.[6]

Sun Extends Sun StorEdge(TM) T3 Array Support to Windows NT, HP-UX, IBM AIX and Linux Environments
Sun Delivers on Strategy for Open Scalable Storage Networks
Jan 10, 2001, 00:00 ET from Sun Microsystems, Inc.
PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW), today extended its reach into the open systems market by introducing Sun StorEdge(TM) T3 array support for Windows NT, HP-UX, IBM AIX, and Linux system platforms. Now Sun customers can reap the benefits of the highly scalable Sun StorEdge T3 workgroup and enterprise arrays throughout their heterogeneous server environments. With this announcement, Sun delivers on its strategy of open, scalable storage networks and its mission to connect anyone to the web anywhere, anytime, on any device. "Sun customers can now get the benefits of the Sun StorEdge T3 array not only on their Solaris platforms, but also on other platforms that they might have throughout their organizations," said Bill Groth, director of enterprise storage product marketing for Sun Network Storage. "By leveraging a scalable storage platform that is only a fraction of the cost of monolithic storage systems, Sun customers can scale capacity affordably, as requirements dictate." "Sun's storage business has grown dramatically over the past year, as Sun delivered more competitive storage products for the Sun server platform," said John McArthur, vice president of storage research at IDC. "An increasing number of users, however, demand storage solutions that can support multiple server platforms and operating systems. Today's announcement dramatically expands Sun's potential and makes the Sun value proposition of 'centralized management and scalability at a fraction of the cost' available to a much broader range of users." NEXL Network Systems, Inc., a leading provider of IT infrastructure and an iForce (SM) National System Provider for Sun, recently conducted interoperability tests of the Sun StorEdge T3 array in Windows NT 4.0, HP-UX, IBM AIX and Linux environments. In each instance, the array installation was quick and easy, and the array performed above NEXL's expectations. "The installation of the Sun StorEdge T3 array to each of the servers tested was complete plug-and-play," said Dean Oliver, Chief Operating Officer, NEXL Inc. "We had no problems managing, configuring or formatting the disks. In addition, there were no failures of any kind, and all systems, components, GUI displays and configuration timings performed flawlessly. In fact, it was easier to install the Sun StorEdge T3 array in Windows NT than it is to install EMC arrays." Sun StorEdge T3 Array Delivers Unsurpassed Scalability to All Major Operating System Platforms Customers can save on costs of equipment acquisition, administration, training, downtime, and ongoing maintenance by standardizing on Sun StorEdge T3 arrays for their Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, Windows NT, and Linux systems. The modular design and inherent scalability of the Sun StorEdge T3 array allows customers the choice of purchasing in either very small or very large increments to meet their needs. Customers are no longer faced with large equipment outlays to support each of their system platforms; they have the flexibility to address a wide range of storage needs within their enterprise, including database, NFS, web serving and email, and a variety of other workloads. Deploying the Sun StorEdge T3 arrays across multiple host platforms provides customers with a consistent high standard of quality, fibre channel performance, and availability throughout their operation with scalability from 163 gigabytes (GB) to 169 terabytes (TB). As capacity is added, the array provides linear scalability of performance, capacity and availability. Sun Customers Take Advantage of Centralized Management Tools and Global Single-Vendor Storage Support For easy manageability, the Sun StorEdge T3 array includes Sun StorEdge(TM) Component Manager software, a next-generation storage management tool for centralized management of distributed networks. This software provides the ability to locally and remotely manage distributed storage from one central console and allocate storage based upon actual need, rather than system type. Customers can rely on Sun's world-class global support for the Sun StorEdge T3 array across their Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, Windows NT, and Linux platforms. Single-vendor storage support from Sun can significantly reduce administration complexity. Sun can help simplify the tasks of integrating, managing, supporting, and maintaining storage to satisfy the demanding storage requirements organizations are facing today. High Availability Sun StorEdge T3 Enterprise Array Delivers Fail-Over Support Designed for the 24x7 requirements of the Net economy, the Sun StorEdge T3 enterprise array includes fail-over software, which provides a storage availability feature that is not included as a foundation of some operating systems. The fail-over software provides continuous availability in the event of a host bus adapter or path failure by enabling a smooth transition to an alternate available path to the storage system. Sun has also performed extensive testing of the Sun StorEdge T3 array in clustered environments for all of the supported operating system platforms and plans to announce cluster support for these platforms in the near future. Availability, Pricing and Support The Sun StorEdge T3 enterprise and workgroup arrays with support for HP-UX, IBM AIX, Windows NT, and Linux platforms are currently installed in several customer sites, and Sun expects to begin volume shipments this month. The T3 arrays have been shipping with support for Solaris since July 2000. The Sun StorEdge T3 array delivers capacity up to 5.2 TBs within a standard cabinet and up to 169 TBs per server. List pricing for a 163 GB Sun StorEdge T3 array for the workgroup starts at $37,000. The Sun StorEdge T3 array for the enterprise is list priced at $150,890 for a 1.3-TB configuration, while a 5.2-TB configuration is list priced at $603,550. Customers with previously installed Sun StorEdge T3 enterprise arrays can obtain the system's new fail-over software from Sun at no additional charge. Pricing and availability are subject to change without notice.

A Thanksgiving meal wouldn't be complete without pumpkin, and here in Vermont we wouldn't dream of excluding our beloved maple syrup. We've combined the two in these elegant custards, featuring the best part of a pumpkin pie and saving calories for a luscious finish of real whipped cream. If you can find it, use Grade B dark amber syrup to get the best maple flavor.
Nutrition Profile: Gluten Free Diet Healthy Weight Heart Healthy Low Calorie Low Sat Fat Low Sodium
Serves 6
Prep Time 30 min
Total Time 180 min.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Put a kettle of water on to heat for the water bath. Line a roasting pan with a folded kitchen towel.
Step 2
Heat milk over low heat in a small saucepan until barely steaming but not boiling.
Step 3
Whisk eggs and syrup in a large bowl until smooth. Gently whisk in the warm milk (a little bit at a time so the eggs don't cook). Add pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; whisk until blended.
Step 4
Divide the mixture among six 6-ounce (3/4-cup) custard cups. Skim foam from the surface. Place custard cups in the prepared roasting pan. Pour enough boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the custard cups. Place the pan in the oven and bake, uncovered, until custards are just set but still quiver in the center when shaken, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer custards to a wire rack and let cool for 45 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until chilled.
Step 5
To serve, top each custard with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of crystallized ginger.

What's Jay Leno Been Up To Since Retiring?
He could always write more books... |
It was sad that Jay Leno's 22 years hosting The Tonight Show ended with all the excitement of a guy farting at the mall. We all talked about his joke stealing and his talk show stealing and how he'd played to the middle, threw away his talent.
We were happy to see him go back to his garage and all his cars, to make way for Fallon, for his dancing to hiphop.
Jay Leno must be lonely. What has Jay Leno been doing the last couple weeks?
- Really getting some drinking done.
- Finally meeting his housekeeper of 23 years.
- Asking her if she knows the Vice President's name.
- Asking her if she watched the State of the Union speech.
- Asking her to introduce him announcer-style before he walks into the kitchen.

- Working on a video parody of Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" with Richard Dreyfuss.
- Sitting in his 1927 Duesenberg Model X, fiddling with the drophang passenger mirror.
- Sitting in his 1909 Baker Electric, fiddling with the flushmount electracoil.
- Trying to get his edge back by buying rolling papers at a 7Eleven in El Segundo.
- Standing out front of Letterman's house with a plate of brownies for six hours.
- Standing out front of Conan O'Brien's house with two beers for three days.
- Wondering why the hell he bought all these fucking cars.
- Counting his cars - hundreds of fucking cars!
- Asking the Comedy Store if he can bring his applause sign for a surprise set next
- Counting his motorcycles - 80 fucking motorcycles!
- Asking his agent if there's any show or pilot or anything out there right now that would be perfect for him to... what do you call it... steal.
- Asking Jimmy Fallon if he's seen Kevin Eubanks or Ricky Minor or any of those guys around.
- Starting a podcast by buying an iPod or something. He doesn't know what he's doing.
- Drinking his wife's orange juice when she leaves the table to get a bagel.
- Eating her bagel when she leaves to get another orange juice.
- Drinking her orange juice when she leaves to get another bagel.
- Eating her bagel when she leaves to get another orange juice.
- And finally eating her bacon!
- Sitting in his 1931 Bentley 8Liter, fiddling with the steam horn.

Archeological sites and traditional resources of significance to indigenous groups along the Olympic Coast are being affected by climate change. The goals of this project can be split into three facets. The first is for the park to foster communication, data sharing, and cooperation between the eight federally listed tribes on the Olympic Peninsula and the National Park Service (NPS) to ensure proper alignment of resources and priorities for climate change adaptation.
Amistad National Recreation Area, Texas, protects many archeological sites in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands region of southwest Texas. Sites are affected by lake level fluctuations related to climate change impacts including precipitation, storms, and changes in agricultural water use. Park managers are documenting the impact of changing water levels on the cultural resources in the park.
Smallholder livelihoods in the Peruvian Altiplano (central Andes) are frequently threatened by weather extremes, including droughts, frosts and heavy rainfall. A project was undertaken to investigate characteristics of smallholder households that explain the link between climate vulnerability and food security. This study revealed distinct groups of smallholders with regard to their ability to meet food requirements. Taking up the basic concept of pattern analysis, vulnerability was assessed based on similarities at the household level.
To prepare for the impacts climate change may pose to Québec City, the Environmental Services Department developed a targeted climate change adaptation strategy. The adaptation plan was approved in 2009 and has 88 adaptation measures, the majority of which are focused on water quality and availability issues. Québec City plans to use the lessons learned and results from the Environmental Services Department climate change adaptation strategy to develop subsequent adaptation strategies for the entire city.

3) Flows and wordplay and your voice
4) I don't care how many records you sold and how much your record was played on commercial radio, I live hip hop culture and I respect my pioneers that allowed me to do hip hop as a career
5) Concepts and overall body of making a full LP including the sequence of how your LP flows is so important when I pop it in my sound system
I still judge listening to music on either a boom box or driving in my ride, no iPods and shit. I stick to tradition of how hip hop was played when it made an impact on my life.
As I say every year, if you don't like my list, fuck it make your own!
One note I will make: I meant to list the Game's "Jesus Piece" in my list and it was an oversight so I won't change this list because of my mistake. I still wanted to make a note of it being that I liked his album and I'm still bumpin it in the ride.
Let the hate begin…

5: Where cocaine has its effects in the brain
Using cocaine as an example, we can describe how drugs interfere with brain functioning. When a person snorts, smokes, or injects cocaine, it travels to the brain via the bloodstream. Although it reaches all areas of the brain, its euphoric effects are mediated in a few specific areas, especially those associated with the reward pathway discussed in the previous image.

Expert: City's unfunded pension, healthcare debt: $200 million
Fullerton should act quickly and over the long haul to wipe out an estimated $200 million unfunded pension and retiree healthcare liability, said an expert hired by the city.
The unfunded liability represents the amount the city owes now or in the future to current and future retirees that is not covered by funds on hand and has no revenue targeted to cover it.
The $200 million is equals to about $1,500 per resident, said Joe Nation, a public-policy professor at Stanford University.
Pension-debt-reducing strategies should be implemented immediately and remain in place over decades, Nation told the City Council earlier this month.
"This won't be solved overnight," he said. "It won't be solved in a couple of years. It won't even be solved in five years."
Such monumental debt could leave Fullerton in a poor position to maintain city facilities and roads, Councilman Greg Sebourn said.
"We need to start dealing with that reality now," Sebourn said.
Fullerton makes payments to the California Public Employees' Retirement System, a state agency that manages retirement benefits for public employees through investments.
The retirement system assumes it will make 7.5 percent on investments, a forecast which is too optimistic, Nation said. A 5-percent return would be more realistic, he said.
While Fullerton is positioned better financially than the six other O.C. cities the he's studied, Nation said the city is "still not in great shape. (But) at least you've turned the aircraft carrier around in the right direction."
Nation was referring to $16 million in cost savings being put in place, such as the recent merging of the Fire Department command staff with Brea's. Fullerton is saving $400,000 annually from the merger.
Nation also praised Fullerton for eliminating positions and for exploring consolidation of police services with four other cities, which would result in more savings.
But the best way to cut the debt, the expert said, is by getting employee unions to agree to less-generous benefit packages. Some of this has already been accomplished.
"You and other cities are going to have to recognize that benefit levels are just not sustainable," Nation told the council.
