MACON, Ga. – After posting his first career double-double against the Kentucky Wildcats, Lipscomb redshirt freshman Stephen Hurt has been named Atlantic Sun Conference Newcomer of the Week as announced by the league on Tuesday.
"He's getting better and better every day," said Lipscomb head coach Scott Sanderson. "The best thing about Stephen is he wants to be good, he wants to learn and he's a good listener."
The Murfreesboro, Tenn., native scored 12 points against Kentucky and hauled down 11 rebounds including nine in the first half.
"Stephen's played good in our better games," said Sanderson. "Against Kentucky, Ole Miss and Murray State, he's played better in those games. He's just got to continue developing his practice habits."
Hurt is the second Bison to claim Newcomer of the Week after junior guard Khion Sankey garnered league honors last week for his play on the court.
The Bisons are set to take on in-state foe Austin Peay tonight at 7 p.m. in Clarksville, Tenn.

March 15, 2006
EL PASO, Texas _ The Lipscomb Bisons first ever trip to national postseason play has ended, but minutes after the last game of the season coach Scott Sanderson was already thinking about next year.
He stresses this will not be the last time the Bisons play on a national stage.
"We have a lot of kids coming back," said Sanderson. "We're hoping to have a very good recruiting class. We plan on being around for awhile."
The Bisons lost 85-66 Tuesday night to the Miners of Texas-El Paso in the opening round of the National Invitation Tournament at Don Haskins Arena in front of 7,652 fans.
"Last year we went into the conference tournament in the first game against Jacksonville, and we were not very good at all," said Sanderson. "This year we came back and got all the way to the Atlantic Sun Conference championship game and were 29 seconds away from going to the NCAA Tournament.
"We will grow from this game. Next year, we will make references to this game. We will grow from this game like we did the Jacksonville game."
The loss also marked the final collegiate appearances for guard James Poindexter, center Shaun Durant, forward Cameron Robinson, forward Jason Guyette and guard Joe Peters. Sanderson spent a longer time than usual after the game talking with the players who will no longer be with the program.
"Four years ago we won six games," said Sanderson. "Three years ago we won eight. And then, all of a sudden, last year we won 16 games. And this year, the second year we are eligible, we go to postseason play. I know you lose sight of that.
"I've been so appreciative of James, Cam, Shaun, Jason and Joe. They have been great ambassadors for our university both on and off of the court. They have meant so much. They have put our school on the map in so many ways."
In the first half the Miners, known for their defensive prowess, shot a blistering 66.7 percent (18-of-27) from the field, including 70 percent (7-of-10) from 3-point range.
"I was not very happy at halftime the way we played," said Sanderson. "I told our guys I couldn't believe we were going to go out that way. I thought we were timid and scared in the first half."
The Miners scored on a lay-up off of the opening tip and never trailed in the half, opening up a lead of 21 points on three different occasions, including the halftime advantage of 44-23.
"Sometimes when a team makes shots the way they were making shots it has a tendency to demoralize you defensively," said Lipscomb Coach Scott Sanderson. "It honestly demoralized us and that is difficult to overcome."
The Bisons refused to give up. They started the second half with a 7-0 run to trim the lead to 14 (44-30) on a 3-point shot by guard James Poindexter at 19:01.
"I was proud of our effort in the second half," said Sanderson. "They were very resilient. That was who our team had been all year long. That has been the character and make-up of our team, and it showed in the second half."
But the Miners continued to control the game with 3-point shots, hitting 7-of-14 in the second half. They opened up their biggest lead at 67-44 with 8:02 left in the game.
With 5:09 remaining the Bisons once again pulled within 14 points at 70-56 after forward Eddie Ard slammed home a dunk and then went to the free throw line where he made a shot.
The Bisons were led in scoring by guard Brian Fisk with a game-high 23 points. Ard added 12. Ard also led the Bisons on the boards with eight.
Four Texas-El Paso players scored in double figures. Guard Stefon Jackson scored 22 followed by forward Jason Williams with 17. Williams became the first Texas-El Paso player to record a triple double. He also had a game-high 11 rebounds and a game-high 10 assists. Guards Edgar Moreno and Kevin Henderson each scored 13 points.
Texas-El Paso shot 57.7 percent from the field and 58.3 percent from 3-poinr range for the game.
"The weakest thing they do is shoot the ball," said Sanderson. "They were averaging in the low 30s from 3-point range and they were making all of them. With them shooting that way we weren't going to win. They were absolutely terrific in shooting the ball."
The Bisons closed out their season with a 21-11 record. The Miners, 21-9, head to Michigan for the next round of the NIT Thursday night.

Cataclysm Raid Progression Refinements
We're continuing to refine the raid progression paths in Cataclysm, and we'd like to share some of those changes with you today. Please enjoy!
The first of the refinements being made is that we're combining all raid sizes and difficulties into a single lockout. Unlike today, 10- and 25-player modes of a single raid will share the same lockout. You can defeat each raid boss once per week per character. In other words, if you wanted to do both a 10- and 25-person raid in a single week, you'd need to do so on two different characters. Normal versus Heroic mode will be chosen on a per-boss basis in Cataclysm raids, the same way it works in Icecrown Citadel. Obviously the raid lockout change doesn't apply in pure Icecrown terms though, as this change goes hand-in-hand with a few other changes to raid progression in Cataclysm.
We're designing and balancing raids so that the difficulty between 10- and 25-player versions of each difficulty will be as close as possible to each other as we can achieve. That closeness in difficulty also means that we'll have bosses dropping the same items in 10- and 25-player raids of each difficulty. They'll have the same name and same stats; they are in fact the exact same items. Choosing Heroic mode will drop a scaled-up version of those items. Our hope is that players will be able to associate bosses with their loot tables and even associate specific artwork with specific item names to a far greater extent than today.
Dungeon Difficulty and Rewards
10- and 25-player (normal difficulty) — Very similar to one another in difficulty; drop the exact same items as each other.
10- and 25-player (Heroic difficulty) — Very similar to one another in difficulty; drop more powerful versions of the normal-difficulty items.
We of course recognize the logistical realities of organizing larger groups of people, so while the loot quality will not change, 25-player versions will drop a higher quantity of loot per player (items, but also badges, and even gold), making it a more efficient route if you're able to gather the people. The raid designers are designing encounters with these changes in mind, and the class designers are making class changes to help make 10-person groups easier to build. Running 25-player raids will be a bit more lucrative, as should be expected, but if for a week or two you need to do 10s because half the guild is away on vacation, you can do that and not suffer a dramatic loss to your ability to get the items you want.
We recognize that very long raids can be a barrier for some players, but we also want to provide enough encounters for the experience to feel epic. For the first few raid tiers, our plan is to provide multiple smaller raids. Instead of one raid with eleven bosses, you might have a five-boss raid as well as a six-boss raid. All of these bosses would drop the same item level gear, but the dungeons themselves being different environments will provide some variety in location and visual style, as well as separate raid lockouts. Think of how you could raid Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep separately, but you might still want to hit both every week.
We do like how gating bosses over time allows the community to focus on individual encounters instead of just racing to the end boss, so we're likely to keep that design moving forward. We don't plan to impose attempt limitations again though, except maybe in cases of rare optional bosses (like Algalon). Heroic mode may not be open from day one, but will become available after defeating normal mode perhaps as little as once or twice.
In terms of tuning, we want groups to be able to jump into the first raids pretty quickly, but we also don't want them to overshadow the Heroic 5-player dungeons and more powerful quest rewards. We'll be designing the first few raid zones assuming that players have accumulated some blue gear from dungeons, crafted equipment, or quest rewards. In general, we want you and your guild members to participate in and enjoy the level up experience.
We design our raids to be accessible to a broad spectrum of players, so we want groups to be able to make the decision about whether to attempt the normal or Heroic versions of raids pretty quickly. The goal with all of these changes is to make it as much of a choice or effect of circumstance whether you raid as a group of 10 or as a group of 25 as possible. Whether you're a big guild or a small guild the choice won't be dependent on what items drop, but instead on what you enjoy the most.

only the front, pleated panel is lined (i followed their instruction). I liked how this dress looked, but unfortunately couldnt wear it lately due to the lack of stretch and the chub of motherhood ;) so really recommend using stretchy fabric!

Love it! This is really beautiful and super flattering on you!

OMG! You are a genius! I have been wanting to make this dress, but have been putting it off after reading some negative reviews of pleating the knit fabric for it. Your great idea of making it in a woven has freed me to make it asap. Thank you for posting this beautifully made project.

hahaha, im glad you like it! let me know when you made yours and posted it! just remember that since linen/cotton doesnt stretch, cut it with a little room horizontally, and then fit it to yourself perfectly!

Sometimes I find that Burda WOF adds zippers in patterns without any real reason. I recently made a silk tunic (sort of baggy) and it required a zipper to the back. I felt mean, so I tried it without and cut out one full piece for the back: less time, less money. And I don't need to wiggle into it either…

This look so great, I wish I own this issue.

yes! the knit version also has a zipper in the back, so just follow that instruction :)

It looks really great. I thing it is a great idea to use other fabric than knit. I have made this dress too, but in knit and believe me, I do not like it

A man was stabbed and two other people were injured in an early-morning fight in the second floor of Charles Village Pub in Towson, Baltimore County Police said Saturday.
According to police, a man was stabbed, a second man received minor cuts to his hand, and a woman was injured when she fell.
All three were taken to area hospitals, and police said their injuries were not life threatening.
Charles Village Pub Owner Melony Wagner said the bar manager, Jason Jankiewicz, reported that the fight took "less than 45 seconds."
According to Wagner, a large man shoved a smaller man, and the smaller man allegedly pulled a knife and cut the large man in his shoulder. Bar security held the smaller man until police came, Wagner said.
Police arrived quickly, reviewed footage from some of the 48 security cameras inside the restaurant, and took the smaller man and his friend into custody, Wagner said. Police spokesman Cpl. John Wachter said late Saturday morning that no arrests have been made.
Baltimore County Police planned to have a heavy presence in the Towson area Friday night for Towson University's annual spring concert, Tigerfest.
Police said 26 additional officers were scheduled to patrol the area until 3 a.m. Saturday.
Stormy weather cut Tigerfest short before headliner Wiz Khalifa could perform, and Wagner said business was "slower than normal" because of the weather.
Wagner praised her security staff for its efforts and said "there's nothing else I can do" about incidents like Saturday morning's. In December 2012, Cockeysville resident Francis Kang was arrested for attempted murder after allegedly shooting another man after leaving Charles Village Pub.
"We try 100-percent to do everything the right way," Wagner said.
Towson Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Nancy Hafford said the community is behind Charles Village Pub, and she believes they handled the situation as well as they could.
"Whenever there's an incident, the business community and residential community along with the police department, we work together," Hafford said. "We do not tolerate anything. If you're going to come to Towson and be an idiot, we're going to take you down."

Despite speculation that the sudden retirement Tuesday of Adm. William Fallon, the head of US Central Command, might suggest a push by the White House toward war with Iran, Admiral Fallon's resignation appears not to be a signal of new hostilities.
Fallon had publicly opposed possible military action against Iran. But, The Washington Post reports, the Bush administration's support for a military strike has eroded in recent months.
[President] Bush has publicly maintained that he wants to use diplomacy to persuade Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions, but he has pointedly refused to take the military option off the table. Some experts cautioned that Bush's views could still trump his advisers' contrary opinions. Yet, the administration's ability to execute such a strategy has been weakened in recent months, said former officials and Iran experts, in large measure because a November intelligence estimate on Iran lessened anxieties that the threat of Iranian nuclear weapons capability is imminent. "The way [White House officials] see Iran has not gone away," said Vali Nasr, an authority on Iran at Tufts University. "Their capacity to do something has been cut down."
The perception that Fallon's departure could be a precursor to a conflict with Iran was put forward in an article titled "The Man Between War and Peace" from the April issue of Esquire. The article, published before the admiral stepped down, described Fallon as "the good cop on Iran," the lone voice in the Bush administration opposing military force against Iran, and indicated Bush "may have had enough."
Well-placed observers now say that it will come as no surprise if Fallon is relieved of his command before his time is up next spring, maybe as early as this summer, in favor of a commander the White House considers to be more pliable. If that were to happen, it may well mean that the president and vice-president intend to take military action against Iran before the end of this year and don't want a commander standing in their way.
The article prompted a flurry of subsequent media reports, which Fallon cited as the reason for his retirement. Some reports speculated that the Esquire article might prophesy a possible escalation in Iran.
For example, US News and World Report blogger Terry Atlas offers "six developments that may have Iran as a common thread. And, if it comes to war, they may be seen as clues as to what was planned." In addition to Fallon's departure, Mr. Atlas also cites Vice President Dick Cheney's Middle East visit, the presence of US warships near Lebanon, and Israeli military action against Hizbullah and Syria in the past few years. Atlas notes however that all of the events he cites have possible explanations that are independent of Iran.
Less speculatively, Bloomberg quotes several politicians, including Sens. John Kerry, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Chuck Hagel, expressing their concerns over his departure and its ramifications in regard to US policy toward Iran.
But Secretary of Defense Robert Gates dismissed allegations of a pending war with Iran, reports the Financial Times.
Mr Gates said suggestions that the resignation indicated the US was preparing for war with Iran were "ridiculous," comments later echoed by Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the joint chiefs.... Many current and former officers believe Adm Fallon was not a dove on Iran but was concerned that belligerent rhetoric from the US could provoke an accidental war. Adm Fallon's positions had rankled with the White House on several occasions. Officials were upset in November when he suggested to the Financial Times that the administration's rhetoric on Iran was "not particularly helpful."
The Washington Times writes that some military officials welcomed his departure, criticizing Fallon for failing to prevent foreign fighters from crossing into Iraq, thereby making US efforts there more difficult.
"The fact is that [Central Command] had the external responsibility to protect our troops in Iraq from the outside and under Fallon they failed to do it," said retired Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely, a military analyst. "We have done nothing to protect our soldiers from external threats in Iraq." Others said Adm. Fallon was pushed to resign. "No matter what [Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates] said [Tuesday], we know for a fact Admiral Fallon was fired," said a former senior Defense official who works closely with military officials in the region. "We have kids — soldiers — getting killed because Iran, Syria and other foreign fighters are coming across the border into Iraq, and yet Fallon was unwilling to do anything to hold [those nations] accountable."
Fallon also came under fire for his positive stance toward China, The Christian Science Monitor writes.
Before he was assigned to Central Command, he was the commander of US Pacific Command. There, he often "leaned forward" on engaging with China, arguing that US-Chinese relations were too important to ignore. Some conservative critics believe he was too friendly with the Chinese, whose military buildup and global ambitions are unclear.
Most reports agree that Fallon's departure at its core is not due to the White House's plans for Iran, but rather to Fallon's vocal disagreements with the Bush administration, on Iran and on other military topics. In an editorial, The Boston Globe writes that despite tradition that top military commanders keep their dissent private, "the usual strictures against airing policy differences in public should not have been enforced" in this case, due to "the validity of Fallon's advice" and the Bush administration's "history of stumbling into grievous strategic errors" when ignoring the advice of military commanders.
The Dallas Morning News, in an editorial, also blames Fallon's outspokenness for his departure, but argues that it was right for him to go.
"We do think the Pentagon's top commanders should speak up – privately – when they think the president is contemplating a bad move. But it's essential that the commander in chief set the policy. Once that's done, the president's orders must be followed without inappropriate second-guessing in public."
And in his column for The Washington Post, David Ignatius chronicles a series of conflicts between the White House and Fallon, "a guy with a mouth that could peel the paint off the walls." In particular, Mr. Ignatius notes that Fallon frequently butted heads with Gen. David Petraeus, the US commander in Iraq, and General Petraeus's close relationship with the White House "made for an awkward chain of command." Ignatius concludes:
"I understand the White House's desire for an orderly chain of command and the need for military officers to trust each other's discretion. But in the case of Fallon, I see a lot of good that came from having a headstrong blowtorch of a man speaking truth to power."

According to the traditional view of fibroblasts, all of the cells are similar in morphology and function. Modern studies, however, have provided ample evidence demonstrating that this is not a true characterization of fibroblasts. Instead, the prevailing view of the cells in recent years has been that some subsets of fibroblasts are able to give rise to other types of cells, such as bone cells, fat cells, and smooth muscle cells. Due to this change in perception, the scientific community is also beginning to discover that fibroblasts are more heavily involved in certain diseases and medical conditions than previously supposed. For example, scarring occasionally appears around internal organs without any evidence of tissue damage, and kidney fibroblasts, such as those that comprise the CV-1 cell line, may be involved in the unusual development. Over time, this fresh attention to fibroblasts may eventually lead to the development of new kinds of medications that help impede the excessive buildup of scar tissue, fat cells, or other kinds of matter that may be produced by the cells.
The isolated cell that appears in the digital image above was a resident in an adherent monolayer culture of CV-1 cells labeled with SYTOX Green to stain chromatin in the nuclei. In addition, the culture was treated with Alexa Fluor 350 conjugated to phalloidin and MitoTracker Red CMXRos, to target filamentous actin and mitochondrial network, respectively. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Wim van Wieringen was a Dutch cartoonist and photographer, who published under the names "Wim de Mooij", "Wim van Wieringen" or just simply "Wim". He is best remembered for his political caricatures and pantomime gag comic 'Simpelman' (1947-1968).
Willem de Mooij Wieringen was born in 1915 in Amsterdam, but spent his childhood in many cities, including Nijmegen, Noordwijk, Den Helder, Haarlem and Zandvoort. He had his first job in a linoleum-cliché factory in Haarlem, where he worked on an off and on base until 1942. He also made lay-outs for the weeklies published by Strengholt in Amsterdam, while following evening courses by graphic artist Evert Mölenkamp at the School of Applied Arts in Amsterdam between 1932 and 1936. He turned to cartooning and had his first work published in De Telegraaf (one cartoon in 1936) and De Tijd (a series of caricatures).
Cartoon about the Linggadjati Agreement, around 1946
He found employment with an advertising agency in Heemstede in 1942, and in the following year he became an illustrator with the weekly magazine Cinema en Theater by publisher De Opbouw in Amsterdam. His career as a cartoonist took off after World War II. He gained notoriety through his political drawings for the left-wing socialist weekly De Vlam between 1945 and 1953. A book called '5 Jaar Indonesia Merdeka' was published by the magazine's publisher De Vonk in 1951 and collected mostly drawings by Van Wieringen. He also published his work in De Groene (drawings from stage play premieres), Het Parool, Het Vrije Volk, Vrij Nederland, Sportief and, most notably, the cartoon monthly Mandril.
Van Wieringen was involved in the underground paper Metro during the first post-war years, which got him affiliated with the Marten Toonder Studios. He worked for the animation department, and wrote scripts for comic series like 'Fiedel Flier' by Ben van 't Klooster and 'Robby' by Hans G. Kresse. His best known creation however was 'Simpelman', a modest banal man whose everyday life was filled with absurdities.
In the Netherlands, the strip first appeared in Tom Poes Weekblad in 1947, but it was also published in newspapers in Copenhagen (Dagens Nyheter) and Paris (France Soir). Van Wieringen made over 3000 strips with the character, that were eventually published in Dutch local newspapers like Het Parool and Limburgsch Dagblad throughout the 1960s.
Around 1953, he left the Toonder Studios after marrying Margje Herblot, Jan Gerhard Toonder's former wife. 'Simpelman' was from then on distributed to newspapers by Ton de Zwaan's Swan Features Syndicate. Between 1963 and 1968 it ran in Het Parool. Van Wieringen made political drawings for De Telegraaf in the 1960s, and started a short-lived newspaper strip called 'Joris' for Algemeen Handelsblad in 1961.
Van Wieringen and his wife spent many time traveling, and have lived for longer periods in Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy (1956-1965) and New York (1980s), where he made drawings for the Jewish Week. The couple also wrote articles during their travels, that Van Wieringen illustrated with drawings and photographs. His final work, an illustrated booklet of his poems, appeared in 1995. On 3 July, 1999, Wim van Wieringen passed away at the age of 83.

The evening program will begin at 6 p.m. with a picnic that is free to police, firefighters and postal workers and their immediate family members. For all others attending, the cost will be $8 a person. The concert, which is free to the public, begins at 7:30 p.m.
This is the 13th consecutive year the CHCA has sponsored the picnic and concert to honor public servants. This year, Top of the Hill Market, Baker Street Bread Company, McNally's Tavern and volunteers from the Chestnut Hill Community Association will provide food and beverages.
After the picnic, the West Philadelphia Orchestra (WPO) will fill the park with its eccentric Eastern European folk sound. Gregg Mervine, percussionist and founder, started the orchestra in 2006, and today it includes about 15 musicians with a wide variety of musical talents.
The WPO has released two albums: 2007's "One Year," a compilation of live performances, and "WPO," released in 2008, which features studio recordings of original and traditional songs. It's hard to pinpoint one genre in which to place the WPO, but, according to its Facebook page, it falls somewhere within a mix of Balkan/Klezmer/Dancehall/Jazz/Tango/Funk/etc.
The diverse sounds and genres only amplify the WPO experience. On its Facebook page, the WPO said, "As a village band, we aim to uplift, inspire, and unify the Philadelphia community by playing music that renders boundaries obsolete and represents excellence."
WPO musicians include: Jim Parker, sousaphone; Larry Toft, Brendan Cooney and Steve Duffy, baritone/trombone; Adam Hershberger, Patrick Hughes and Koofreh Umoren, trumpet; Elliott Levin and David Fishkin, saxophone; Larry Goldfinger, clarinet; founder Gregg Mervine, Jack Ohly, Nezih Antakli and Francois Zayas, tapan/snare/darbuka percussion; and Petia Zamfirova, vocals.
The picnic and final concert are a great opportunity to come out and say thank you to the public servants that serve the community on a daily basis and to get to know other members of Chestnut Hill's community organizations.
Picnic reservations can be made by calling the CHCA office at 215-248-8810 by Monday, July 25. Payment may be made at the picnic, but reservations are strongly encouraged.
The Pastorius Park Concert Series is sponsored by the Chestnut Hill Community Association, the Chestnut Hill Community Fund and Chestnut Hill Hospital.

Sometimes, real life emulates movies, which often emulate real life. Confusing? So are these mutated trout fry, spawned from fish taken from creeks in Idaho, which have been polluted with selenium from the mining operations of the J.R. Simplot Company. Among the fished raised in laboratories, some had deformed tails, deformed faces, or two heads. Some parent fish even laid deformed eggs.
Even more confusing, is that this report was done by the company itself, and it actually concluded that it would be safe to allow selenium, a toxic metal byproduct of mining, to remain in the streams. The report even stated higher levels of selenium, above what is currently allowed by regulatory law, would be okay too.
You don't say. I guess dead, two-headed fish babies are kind of cute.

Architecting for the Cloud with Cloud Foundry and Bluemix
As the world moves towards more DevOps and microservices, application deployment to the cloud ought to become a lot simpler. The microservices architecture, which is the basis of many new age distributed systems such as OpenStack, NetFlix and so on, is at the heart of Cloud Foundry - a complete developer-oriented Platform as a Service (PaaS) that is IaaS agnostic and supports vCloud, OpenStack and AWS.
In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Raghavan "Rags" Srinivas, an Architect/Developer Evangelist at IBM, will discuss the microservices architecture, 12-factor app, containers, etc., and how to architect applications for the cloud in general and Cloud Foundry in particular. He will harness the power of dependency injection that Spring provides to pick a variety of data sources and services.
Attend this demo-oriented session in which he will cover the basics of Cloud Foundry and walk through an application that was previously hosted outside the cloud and how to stand it up in a cloud with some minimal [mostly] configuration changes using Spring Cloud and other related projects. He will also cover many of the Non Functional Requirements (NFR), which is typically in the domain of the architect such as scaling, security and HA and how applications can leverage Bluemix for these.
After attending this session attendees will walk away with a better understanding of Platform as a Service and Cloud Foundry in general, and Bluemix in particular and how the ecosystem enables deploying applications to the cloud a lot easier. Attendees will also be able to understand how to enable logging, remote debugging, monitoring and so on by turning a few knobs in the platform.

Containers & Microservices Expo To Be Colocated with Cloud Expo Silicon Valley, November 3-5, 2015 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, CA
SYS-CON Events announced on June 9, 2015 at the Javits Center that the 2nd "Containers & Microservices Conference" will take place November 3-5, 2015, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA, and the "Third Containers & Microservices Conference" will take place June 7-9, 2016, at Javits Center in New York City.
Containers and microservices have become topics of intense interest throughout the cloud developer and enterprise IT communities.
Microservices focuses on the business and technology of the software architecture design pattern, in which complex applications are composed of small, independent processes communicating with each other using language-agnostic APIs.
Containers are not being considered for the first time by the cloud community, but a current era of re-consideration has pushed them to the top of the cloud agenda.
Rather than just stuff an OS into a container, for example, developers and deployers should consider a spectrum of microservices and what they can do.

Thursday, December 1, 2011
It's December 1st and I'm in great shape.
On the treadmill, where I have been doing my speed work, I'm running faster than I remember running during previous peaks.
Only problem is that it's December and we're moving to Wisconsin in three weeks. I don't even know when or where our next race is going to be. Before we leave, I do have two tiny marathons, but these are on crazy hilly trails so the times won't mean anything.
What to do, what to do?
And you may be curious to know that my future will be decided today. I have to choose between two jobs that are as different as night and day. Some may know that I will work as an ER doc in Wisconsin until next summer, but then we come back to Denmark for the final year of the Girl's eye study (and PhD).
One job is in the city, at a university hospital, where I would work as a junior attending. There are about 20 hematologists in the department, the teaching environment is great, opportunities for research are ample, and I would have a group of diseases (plasma cell disorders) that would become my area of expertise. I would learn from an near-retirement plasma cell guru. But it's in Copenhagen, and we live in the burg of Næstved. Commuting isn't really an option in my mind, so we would have to move to the city, away from Natali's school, Christian's day care and the Girl's job.
The other job is in Næstved, in a smaller department, where I have worked previously during my fellowship. It's one of the last (if not the last) combined hematology/oncology departments in Denmark. (For some reason, the combined heme/onc concept has survived in America to this day, and is still found in community hospitals everywhere; but that's another post.) The hematology seen there is generally not overly exciting, as the complex cases are sent to the city for treatment. There are four hematologists, who are all nice, and with whom I would love to work, but I would certainly have to do a little oncology, too. That would be fun to learn, but it would also dilute my hematology skills. I would be a decent-sized fish in a small pond, with the usual pros and cons.
It would be nice to stay in Næstved, with our safe routines waiting for us in Agust, when we come back from Wisconsin. Career-wise, it's a no-brainer, of course.
I am meeting with the deparmtent chair in 3 hours and I still haven't made up my mind what to tell him.

Can't help with the career decisions, but... you have two marathons scheduled in the next three weeks? And you're looking for another race to PR in? Even I think that's a little obsessive.
- December 1, 2011 at 8:15 AM
- Fast Bastard said...
Well, you have to realize that there is a crazy marathon culture in Denmark right now. Take all the yahoos who run ultras in Wisconsin and Minnesota and convert them into people who try to run as many marathons possible in a year, and you have the current sentiment here.
These tiny marathons that happen every weekend are technically races, but they play out more like group runs with aid stations.
These particular two marathons over the next three weeks are interesting in that they are super hilly. The times for the two races are added together for the "Zealand King of the Mountains" competition. Ane who wouldn't want to win that?
- December 1, 2011 at 8:33 AM
- SteveQ said...
King of the Mountains in Zealand? That's like surfing champ of Nepal!
- December 2, 2011 at 8:27 AM
- Fast Bastard said...
Now now, Zealand (=Sjælland) is an island, so it's "on Zealand", not "in Zealand".
But point taken, since the highest "mountain" on the island is little more than 300 feet.
- December 2, 2011 at 12:00 PM
- PiccolaPineCone said...
gather together some of your running buddies and go run a time trial over 5 or 10 km on a track. PB shape is NOT something to be frittered away at a trail marathon!
- December 3, 2011 at 3:25 AM
- Fast Bastard said...
Oh, Piccolapinecone, you purist, you. I use those marathons as my long runs so it's not a matter of frittering.
The track idea is nice but isn't going to happen on this side of the Atlantic, because of long work hours and short days. Maybe if you stop by La Crosse to pace me through 3k, I'll go for a PR.
- December 4, 2011 at 9:03 AM
- SteveQ said...
Okay, I was thinking of the Dutch Zeeland, land reclaimed from the sea which is not an island.
Could you take a look at the Bornholm 6 Day race and tell me when it is next year? I don't trust my translation. 6 Day races typically start on Mondays, so June 8th (a Wednesday, I think) doesn't make sense and August 6th does. There's a 1 in 100,000,000 chance I might do it if it's in August.
- December 4, 2011 at 10:25 AM
- Fast Bastard said...
I don't see the 6-day race on the website. The Girl thinks they only put on the 6-day race every other year, which I think I heard somewhere also.
And Zealand and Zeeland are confusing, no doubt. To make it even worse, I think New Zealand gets its name from Zeeland, not Zealand!
- December 6, 2011 at 1:44 AM
- SteveQ said...
The 6 Day race is held every other year and was held in 2010, so i figured they'd have it in 2012. The 2010 race was in June, though. It looks like they've discontinued the 6 day for lack of interest.
- December 6, 2011 at 9:11 AM
- Riya said...
I'm sitting here planning out my weekly menu and searching through my favorite blogs for ideas and I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for your blog and your wonderful dishes. This black-eyed peas dish looks so amazing. It's quick with just a few ingredients. I love it.

This is my dad's scrapbook, which looks to be from his senior year at Fresno High School. My family sure loved to keep scrapbooks - who knew I'd be looking through them 60-160 years later. Since I've been on a graduation theme, I'll start there and save some other parts of the scrapbook for another time.
Here's the first page. So nice that he attached his card with his name on it so there was no question as to who it belonged to.
And then this picture of him with my mom, Geraldine Martin. Mom graduated two years behind him so her friends must have been quite envious that she was dating an upperclassman.
My dad was very active in student government, journalism, and track. I thought this program for the Senate Banquet was interesting because it showed a picture of the front of the school. Not only was my dad involved that year, but one of the speakers at this banquet was his uncle, Herbert Levy, class of 1900.
Of course there were invitations to the commencement exercises and my dad mailed a special one to my mom.
|Here's the school again
And, of course, you needed a ticket to get in to the big event!
Dad was the Valedictorian of his class - wish I could find a copy of that speech. I've found other speeches but haven't come across this one yet.
Two years later Mom graduated from Fresno High School and while I haven't found her scrapbook, I did find a congratulations note from one very smitten young man.
I love taking a trip back in time to see what was important for people then. And it's especially fun when it's one of my parents!

Leaving a Footprint
Coronado Mall's plan for redevelopment raises air quality questions
People hate bad city planning. Which is why, nearly 25 years ago, Albuquerque's City Council decided to put an end to it, at least in one part of our city. The Uptown district, which is well-known for its sea of asphalt, undeveloped space and semi-empty strip malls, also has the worst air pollution in the city and is, for the most part, pedestrian unfriendly. And so, in an effort to curb these characteristics and transform Uptown into a thriving urban area, in 1981, the Council created the Uptown Sector Plan.
Thin Line
Our Banana Republic. Politics can be a downright pitiful exercise in nepotism. In New Mexico, the latest obvious example was a bill sponsored at the Legislature by Reps Dan Silva and Kiki Saavedra that was championed by their sons, who both happened to be lobbyists for the cause.
Council Watch
Billions and Billions of Bills
City councilors began the April 4 meeting an hour early, shunted 14 bills to a land use meeting and slogged past the 10:30 p.m. deadline, but the last few weeks' backlog of bills just piled higher. The single thing councilors didn't discuss, having vented earlier at an afternoon press conference, was the current APD ruckus.
Ortiz y Pino
What Makes Us Think We're a Culture of Life?
The Terry Schiavo tragedy just won't let go of my imagination. It is tempting to move on, to shift our focus, to look for the next public circus to distract ourselves from the painful truths opened by the still-fresh experience in Florida. But until we've teased out a few answers for ourselves, the contradictions are too extreme to set aside comfortably.
Odds & Ends
Dateline: Louisiana—Rapper C-Murder, in jail for the 2002 murder of a teenager, has changed his stage name because he thinks he is misunderstood. "I am not a murderer," the rapper, whose real name is Corey Miller, said in a statement released last Tuesday. According to his publicist, Giovanni Melchiorre of New York-based Koch Records, the incarcerated musician will now go by the name of C Miller. "People hear the name C-Murder and they don't realize that the name simply means that I have seen many murders in my native Calliope projects neighborhood," the rapper explained. The state of Louisiana disagrees, however. Miller was convicted of second-degree murder Sept. 30, 2003, in the death of Steve Thomas, 16, a fan of the rapper who was shot inside a nightclub in the New Orleans suburb of Harvey. Miller faces a mandatory life sentence without parole. Earlier this month, a state appeals court upheld Miller's conviction. His defense lawyer, Ron Rakosky, has said he will appeal to the state Supreme Court.
Follow the Money
Campaign contributions put legislation into perspective
Handicap these odds: An important piece of legislation is before the New Mexico Legislature. Lined up on one side are all of Albuquerque's neighborhood coalitions. On the other sideline huddles a handful of lobbyists. Who wins?
I am glad I have no car! I would not keep a car if you gave me one free! I have owned no car since 1979. I enjoy the freedom of having no car. I save much money and many resources—oil, metals, rubber ... I avoid all parking and traffic tickets. I have no hassles with car repairs, car theft, car crashes, flat tires, vandalism, monthly payments, depreciation, road rage, paying for insurance and finding a parking space. I walk most places I go in town. Our legs are great doctors. Much walking strengthens bones and heart, prevents diabetes, clears the mind, and stimulates blood circulation. Cars spoil people—making their bodies fat, lazy and sick.

A controversial request for state money to erect a statue of late basketball star Len Bias at Northwestern High School in Hyattsville will be withdrawn because of concerns about the message the honor would send to students.
Bias was a popular University of Maryland basketball player who died 27 years ago from a cocaine overdose.
State Sen. Victor Ramirez (D-Dist. 47) of Cheverly said he decided to pull a $50,000 bond bill he submitted that would cover the costs of creating the statue after concerns were raised about hailing the athlete as a positive role model. Ramirez said he will try to bring the measure back next year.
"I am going to pull it and bring everyone to the table to make sure everyone is comfortable," Ramirez said. "That is sometimes reality for issues such as this."
Both Ramirez and Bias attended the Hyattsville school.
Mount Rainier Mayor Malinda Miles said she was opposed to the statue because she thought it would send the wrong message and felt there were greater needs to be addressed at the school with the bond money.
"To have died of an overdose of drugs, regardless of the reason or circumstances, is not something I would want my grandchildren to model," Miles said.
Bias was the Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year in 1985 and 1986 as a member of the University of Maryland basketball team. He was picked second in the June 1986 NBA draft by the Boston Celtics.
Days after being drafted, he died at age 22 in his campus dorm room after ingesting cocaine, which caused heart failure, according to reports.
Ramirez said he put forth the bond measure because he feels Bias still is a positive role model, particularly to minority students, who developed a connection to the University of Maryland through him.
"I grew up with a Len Bias poster in my room," Ramirez said. "He represented someone who could make it. He was one of us.
"I think it was a tragedy, but you can't allow that one night to take away from who he was, what he stood for. I think he stood for giving people hope and giving kids who grew up in the neighborhood just like his hope that education, the University of Maryland — that college was possible."
Ramirez, who graduated from Frostburg State University in 1996 with a degree in international relations, said Bias inspired him and his brothers to go to college.
Lonise Bias, Bias's mother, stressed that the statue was Ramirez's idea. But she said she supported a tribute that would put a positive light on Bias's journey as a man coming through Northwestern and the lives affected by his death.
"If it comes to fruition, that is fine," she said. "If not, we have made it 27 years without a statue. It would be a wonderful thing if it happens. If not, we understand about life."
She said in her role as a motivational speaker, she has received numerous e-mails and letters from people who say Bias's death changed how they view drugs and how to make good decisions.
Lonise Bias operates the Len and Jay Bias Foundation, which seeks to encourage youth to be positive examples in their community.
Some students and teachers at the school mostly supported the idea of the statue, despite the circumstances surrounding Bias's death.
Northwestern senior Iman Abdulrahiman, 17, said she supported the statue because it would highlight Bias's positive attributes.
"Just because one part of his life was a little messed up, that doesn't mean us putting up a statute is a promotion of that," she said. "It is displaying the good part of his legacy, so I would not have an issue with that."
John Johnson, 17, a senior at the school who plays point guard for the basketball team, said the statue would help to showcase Northwestern's athletic programs.
"You got to set that aside," Johnson said of Bias's cause of death. "He was still great nonetheless."
Northwestern government teacher Kevin Burke said other controversial sports figures have been honored in the past, noting that Baltimore Ravens officials have discussed erecting a Ray Lewis statue outside M&T Bank Stadium.
When two men were killed in Atlanta in 2000, Lewis initially was accused of murder. But, through a plea bargain, he was convicted of obstruction of justice and was placed on probation.
"Time heals all wounds, doesn't it?" Burke said. "I think it could be a good thing to have the connection between Northwestern and the University of Maryland, which is good when it's strong."
Principal Edgar Batenga declined to give his opinion on the statue but noted that other graduates of the school have been honored. In 2002, the arts wing of the school was named after Jim Henson, a 1954 Northwestern graduate and the creator of the Muppets.
"I think if it is something the community would support and the school system supports, I don't think my opinion should stop that," Batenga said.

Jennifer Garner: Emery Academy & Martial Arts Stop with Seraphina!
Jennifer Garner carries her adorable daughter Seraphina to karate class at Emery Academy & Martial Arts on Friday (November 9) in Brentwood, Calif.
The day before, the 40-year-old actress was spotted doing some shopping in New Orleans.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Jennifer Garner
Jennifer's husband Ben Affleck recently talked about how he prepared to direct his hit film Argo.
"I researched what it was really like there, talked to the guys who worked there, visited the CIA and talked to the director… You know, walked the halls and spent time there," Ben shared. "It really mattered to me that it feel real. It wasn't super-spy guys shooting two people at once and falling out of a window. It's just real people who go to there jobs and come home, and that takes a real toll on them."
10+ pictures inside of Jennifer Garner and Seraphina heading to karate class…

Well technically she didn't fail, she did reacquire her power but she was so terrified of feeling her power again that she basically had a meltdown. It's said after her death by Misaki that the Observatory confirmed her power returned. That's why we need to get Hei to the Gate to see what will happen!

This is a scene at the end of episode 25 of S1. It's Yin's observation ghost under a bridge.
Suga Shotarou, a writer of S1 and ODA, recently said this scene is a clue to understand what happened to Yin between S1 and S2. Probably a visit to the Gate caused her to change drastically.

I think the first time you see Yin change her spector into human shape is when she saves Hei from being lost in the black abyss at the end of Episode 25 season 1. I think this is the first time she really acted on her emotions and free will even as a doll, and therefore evolved beyond what a doll is. I think this added to the fact that she was also within the gate. It could also be that Bai powers somehow rearranged her molecular to something more than a doll.

Sousuke rules
I was thinking...
Izanami has de power to make contractor`s powers against them... to make them comite suicide... so, what if the only way "the bad guys" had to make her use it in a massive way was to take off Hei powers, so he wont be affecter by her powers....

about Mitaka Documents, I have a feeling that Mitaka document is basically Yin/Izanami. we now know a bit about the Mitaka Documents, and obviously it's something Amber left behind. in season 1, we had moment where Amber is alone with Yin, she could have told or left something to Yin.
my guess is, Yin got captured by some organization and they probably use ME squeezer to scan her brain to read the Mitaka documents.
other theory I had about Hei's lost of power and Suou as contractor. the anti contractor weapon that hit Hei is said to be further development from the prototype 2 years ago that Hei destroyed.
so during the scene where Hei lost his power, we got the anti contractor weapon, Hei's innate ability, and Suou's meteor fragment in one place. all this 3 present, force Suou to become contractor just like Hei gained his power. the difference this time is that the weapon broke halfway through the process so Hei's still exist (unlike Bai, who disappear) and Suou become somewhat half contractor. still retaining some emotion and still have to pay her remuneration.

Oh, dear! They say that the net is vast and infinite, but sometiems it's quite opposite. Anyway, I don't mind if someone willingly credits my mistranslation and misspelling to their own mistakes.

Trevor Donovan: Shirtless Shopping
90210 hunk Trevor Donovan shops shirtless at Armani Exchange Sunset Plaza in Los Angeles on Thursday (September 17)
The 30-year-old recently talked about his character Teddy's dating life. He told TV Guide, "Well, I wouldn't call him a manwhore per se! (laughs) He's not a player; he's not running around lying to these girls and dating a bunch of girls at different times. He's very honest and straightforward. I think he's just much more realistic about adult, more mature relationships instead of thinking, "Oh, this is the one and only" like a lot of high school kids do. He does genuinely care about all these women in his life. When he's dating a girl, he's upfront with them and lets them know that he's not Iooking for any sort of relationship. He's not deceitful in any way."
