Newman Offers No Apology for Martinsville
Ryan Newman wanted to make it perfectly clear.
In no way, shape or form was he going to apologize to anyone for what transpired during the final laps of the Goody's Fast Relief 500 to help him get to Victory Lane on Sunday at Martinsville Speedway. On the first attempt at a green-white-checkered finish after a caution came out on Lap 498 of what had been scheduled for a 500-lap event, Newman's No. 39 Chevrolet rammed into the back ofClint Bowyer's No. 15 Toyota and appeared to play a role in setting off a chain reaction that took out the top three cars in the field at the time, clearing the way for Newman to motor through the melee and onto the victory.
But Newman and others put the blame for the wild wreck that took outJeff Gordon andJimmie Johnson squarely on Bowyer.
"In the end, we did what we needed to do," Newman said. "We put ourselves in position to win. [Second-place finisher AJ] Allmendinger raced me clean and Clint [Bowyer] took out the rest of 'em on the first [green-white-checkered restart]. Somebody had to win; it might as well have been us. ... It worked out for us."
Newman said he anticipated a melee on the first G-W-C restart after the late caution that was brought about whenDavid Reutimann's No. 10 Chevrolet rolled to a dead stop on the frontstretch.
"You kind of know what's going to happen. I did what I had to do to get a jump on the third-place car. That's really who I was racing," Neman said. "Jeff was on old tires and Clint wasn't so his car might have been a little better, so he stuck his nose up under there. That's what you've got to do at Martinsville.
"Everything really hinged on the 10 car stalling on the front straightaway. That made for a pretty interesting finish."
Newman acknowledged that Gordon, who led a race-high 328 laps, wasn't very happy with him immediately after the race.
"Jeff came up and hit me [afterward], I'm not sure why," Newman said. "I'm sure it was because he had a dominant race car and he didn't win. But it wasn't me that caused that wreck. It was Clint who drove down underneath there.
"Clint put 'em three-wide, bounced off the curb and jumped up into 'em, from what I saw. That's what caused everything. I was going to make a run on Clint to do the same thing he was trying to do to Jeff. But Clint blocked me and I hit him right at the start-finish line and that kind of propelled him up to where he got up into the 24 car once they got to the corner. It worked out to my favor. I mean, it wasn't intended to be that way -- but it definitely worked out to my favor."
When he held off Allmendinger on the second green-white-checkered restart, it resulted in Newman's 16th career victory. It was the first in his career at Martinsville and his first of the young 2012 season.
Crew chief Tony Gibson admitted Newman didn't appear to have a winning car. But he applauded his driver for putting the car into position to do precisely that in the end, when it was the only time that really mattered.
"Clint cleared the way for us and Ryan did the rest," Gibson said. "He drove a great race all day long, never gave up -- and like I've said a million times, you put him somewhere near the front with 10 to go, look out. He's going to have a shot to win it."
Actually, Newman didn't think he drove a great race all day. He had to overcome a speeding penalty on pit road that put him one lap down at one point.
"We ended up going a lap down because of my speeding penalty, and that was totally on me," Newman said. "But we never gave up and did an awesome job of making changes to the car. We were not a dominant race car, but we put ourselves in contention. The way the strategy and everything worked out, coming in for two tires [on the last pit stop] and Clint kind of clearing out Turn 1 for us, we were fortunate to be in the right place at the right time.
"We have been in that position here and been in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's nice to be able to at least balance it out."

A new poll of 1,200 white Catholic voters in the Midwestern battleground states of Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin and in Pennsylvania finds that Catholics respond negatively to the Romney-Ryan economic plan and believe President Obama respects religious freedom and people of faith. Nonetheless, Romney leads with most of these voters, though 12 percent of them, according to the poll, remain up for grabs. Sixty percent described themselves as likely to support a candidate who believed cutting Medicare, education and services for the poor was wrong. "The competition for Catholic votes will be fierce," said John Gehring, Catholic program director at the Faith in Public Life Action Fund, which commissioned the poll, "but there are clear signs that [Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan's] draconian economic plan could hurt the G.O.P. ticket."

Toshiba's Folio 100 is the only educational device students use for the Master in Architectural Management and Design, a blended program with students from ten countries
According to initial surveys students use the tablets for an average of 2.5 hours a day, mainly for online searches, reading books and notes, and accessing e-mails and social networks.
The innovative master in management and design for architects is the world's first postgraduate program to combine creativity and management
IE University is using Toshiba's Folio 100 to develop Spain's first tablet-based academic program. The tablets play an integral role in the University's Master in Architectural Management and Design (MAMD) program run by IE School of Architecture, with a student body comprised of ten nationalities. All students on the program have a Toshiba Folio100 which they use to communicate with their professors and among themselves, as well as to access practical cases and notes, and to work with different multimedia applications.
Toshiba's Folio 100 is the only educational platform the student needs for this postgraduate master program, which means there is no need for traditional note-taking. All materials pertaining to the courses that make up the program can be kept on just one learning device.
At the start of the program each student received a Folio 100, using it from the outset to read practical case studies and recommended books, as well as to access the University's online campus. They will also be using the device to follow video conferences and maintain constant lines of communication with professors and classmates during the online periods of the program.
The Master in Architectural Management and Design delivers 70% of classes in online format, coupled with presential modules run in Madrid and London. It provides the ideal environment for this kind of initiative, given that mobility, flexibility, interconnectivity and online technologies are essential resources for the student.
Juan Lago, director of the program, feels that this joint project is the result of the program's aim for student to receive 100% of course literature in digital format. "We believe that we have a particular responsibility to respect the environment, both as individuals and as architects, and this initiative enables us to help reduce the consumption of natural resources as compared to traditional uses and methods."
Alberto Ruano, General Director of Toshiba in Spain believes the project serves to underline the quality, reliability and user-friendly design of Toshiba devices and solutions. "Toshiba products are highly valued in the workplace and by users who need tools they can always depend on. With this project Toshiba, already a pioneer in the introduction of information technologies in the classroom, is taking its first step in postgraduate learning environments. Read more…

Love happens; it is so incredibly messy. People around you can't comprehend why you do the things you do, or why you fight so hard for something that seems to cause you so much pain, because simply, they can't see. They can't see the invisible ring of insanity that surrounds you when you're in love. It's inconvenient and painful and devastating at times, but we can't live without it. What you don't learn is how hard love is. How much work it takes. How much of ourselves we have to put into it. How it isn't worth it until we are complete and utter idiots about it.
Love isn't her calming you down when you yell. It's her yelling, just as loud, just as hard, right back at you, right in your face to wake you up and to keep you grounded. It isn't her/him bringing you roses everyday or cute things that make your relationship appear more presentable.
It's after a long fight, that drains the life and bones right out of you both, and yet her showing up at your door the next morning anyway. It's not her saying all the right things or knowing exactly how to handle you. So no, it's not her caressing your hair and telling you everything is going to be alright. It's her standing there, admitting she's just as scared as you are. You have to remember that with love, you're not the only one involved. You've unknowingly put your life, your heart into the palms of another persons hands and said, here. Do what you will. Mash it into mince meat. Or forget I ever handed it to you. As long as you have it.
It makes us crazy. It makes reality invisible and it erases all the lines that we shouldn't cross. Because love isn't about fencing ourselves in; feeling safe, feeling sure about the future. It's about scaring the shit out of every nerve in our body, but pushing forward anyway. Because all the fighting and all the tears and all the uncertainty is worth it. And it's a hell of a lot better, than being 100% happy without someone to show us that there is a world of a difference between feeling 'happy' and feeling whole.
-Andrew Landon

Tech finished the year with a 6-3 mark in the NFC and a fourth-place ranking out of 10 schools.
Both the sabre and epee squads registered team-best records of 33-21. The sabre team, led by Igor Kopylov (14-4), notched an 8-1 decision over Florida to go along with a pair of 7-2 victories against Sacred Heart and Dartmouth. Rangarajan Nadadur went 9-7 on the day as Raymond Wu posted a ledger of 5-4. Namit Setia rounded out the contingent with a 5-6 mark.
The epee team's best showing came in its match up with Dartmouth, where it won eight out of nine bouts. Trevor Chang paced MIT with a 13-5 record while Gabriel Chan posted a 10-8 mark. Matt Gethers finished at 7-5 as Jeremy Hurwitz registered an even 3-3 ledger.
Behind 9-0 wins over Dartmouth and Florida, the foil team lifted its total to 31-23. Spencer Sugimoto had a dominating outing as he went 16-2 on the day. Sebastian Castro (5-5), Benjamin Switala (6-7), and Jason Chen (4-9) accounted for the rest of MIT's performances.

The primary rule that all Daring Bakers need to keep in mind is that they may not deviate from the month's chosen recipe. Except, of course, when they're told to do so. Morven of Food, Art, and Random Things gave the gift of creativity when she chose Dorie Greenspan's Perfect Party Cake as this month's task. Other than following the basic cake recipe and turning the confection into a layer cake, we were given free reign over how we decorate and flavored our creations.
The main thing that restrains my creativity is my own mind, which is a shame. When trying a new recipe, I like to follow it closely to the suggested recipe so I can form my opinions of it before thinking of ways of improving it, so I knew I'd be sticking to the bulk of what Dorie had written. I did latch on to the idea of cherry jam in my layers and cherries on top, mainly because a cherry on top connotes to me the idea of a special treat, and this being your perfect party cake is a pretty special occasion. I found naturally colored cherries from a UK website selling bulk baking goods, which made a nice and comforting change from the uber-red cherries with they're goodness-knows-what-chemicals-in-them that I grew up eating (they also sold green cherries - green cherries? Green??! I'll stick with natural, thanks very much).
Knowing that it wouldn't be a challenge for this house of two people to eat a whole iced cake, simply a Very Bad Idea, I took all my ingredients, measuring bits, tins and hand mixers away with me over the Easter weekend which was spent with Mr A&N's extended family. The only challenge, then, would be in ensuring that the cake had enough slices for the 15 people who would be there, as well as making sure that I didn't produce such a poor product that I didn't just leave my mother-in-law doubting my cooking skills, but left my husband's Aunts, Uncles, siblings, cousins, assorted spouses and friends shaking their heads in sadness at my lack of skills. Just the relaxing baking atmosphere in which I like to cocoon myself.
I found the cake and icing quite straight-forward to make, with my ancient hand blender (inherited from Mr A&N's grandmother) heating up worryingly as it clocked up the 10 minutes the icing demanded of it. The baking cake smelled wonderful, although working with an untested oven meant that I had to reduce the heat halfway through the cooking since the cake was getting a bit too brown too quickly. The cake fell a bit and pulled in from the sides of the tin as a result which made it look small and unlikely to feed 15, but once it was sliced into its layers its height promised better things.
The cake was a talking point as everyone eyed it up through the afternoon, and everyone dipped in for a slice (with 16 cherries dotted around the edges, serving sizes were partitioned nicely). The general reaction was that this was indeed a fine party cake and reminded most people of childhood birthdays. Most were fans of the icing, but would have liked the cake to have been a bit lighter and springier - the overall effect was more dense than expected. There was one lone slice left which no one felt right claiming, so I was able to get up early and take a photo of the mangled layers before diving in for what was my Easter breakfast, saving that cherry on top for my last bite.
For the recipe, please either have a look on Morven's blog or worship at the altar of Dorie's Baking From My Home to Yours.

16 slices?? I suppose that really is a healthy portion.. huh.. maybe I should try cutting a cake (or anything for that matter) in 16 slices. But then I'd still have to hide them everywhere - which, really, isn't such a great idea because my memory sucks and then I can't find them until they've gone airborne.. so.. hmm.. 16 slices, eh? :P
BEAUTIFUL cake sweetie! I love the lil cherries on top and am so with you on the poo-poo'ing of the red-red and green cherries.. wth?

Michael Panzer named Editor-in-Chief of the Dewey Decimal Classification system
Joan Mitchell retires after 20 years
DUBLIN, Ohio, 24 January 2013—Michael Panzer, formerly Assistant Editor, has been named the 10th Editor-in-Chief of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system.
Mr. Panzer, who becomes the first DDC Editor-in-Chief from outside the United States, replaces Joan S. Mitchell, who has retired after serving with distinction in the position since 1993.
Mr. Panzer joined OCLC in May 2007 as Global Product Manager of Taxonomy Services, and was appointed Assistant Editor of the DDC in March 2009. From 2002 to 2005, he headed the technical team that translated Dewey into German. He was the first member of a Dewey translation team to be appointed Assistant Editor.
"Michael Panzer is well known and widely respected in the worldwide Dewey and Semantic Web communities," said Jay Jordan, President and CEO, OCLC. "We look forward to his making the DDC ever more useful, to paraphrase Melvil Dewey, in new and imaginative ways."
Mr. Panzer served on the W3C Library Linked Data Incubator Group, and is currently a member of the W3C Provenance Working Group.
Prior to joining OCLC, Mr. Panzer worked at Cologne University of Applied Sciences, where he was team leader of CrissCross, a research project funded by the German Research Foundation focused on mapping SWD, DDC, RAMEAU, and LCSH. He has an MA from Heinrich Heine University (Düsseldorf) in German Literature with a minor in Information Science. He also attended the University of California, Davis, on a four-month research scholarship.
Joan Mitchell officially retired as Dewey Editor-in-Chief on 18 January. She has been closely affiliated with the DDC since 1985, when she became a member of the Decimal Classification Editorial Policy Committee. She chaired the committee from 1992 until her appointment as Dewey Editor in 1993. Prior to joining OCLC in 1993, she was Director of Educational Technology at Carnegie Mellon University and an Adjunct Professor in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh. She has also held various positions in academic and special libraries.
Under Ms. Mitchell's editorship, OCLC published the following DDC editions: 21st in 1996, 22nd in 2003 and 23rd in 2011. In addition, she expanded the DDC's electronic publications, including Dewey for Windows and WebDewey, a Web-based product with a generic user interface script to support access to Dewey data in different languages. Most recently, the DDC has been released as linked data.
Ms. Mitchell also oversaw the translation of various versions of the DDC into 18 languages and development of various mappings and crosswalks to the system. She visited 30 countries on six continents on behalf of Dewey. While at OCLC, she co-authored two books, wrote 30 scholarly papers for publication, and gave over 120 presentations in venues around the world.
In 2005, the American Library Association awarded Ms. Mitchell the Melvil Dewey Medal, which recognizes distinguished service to the profession of librarianship.
"During Joan's editorship, the editorial team has continuously re-imagined the DDC in form, content and use to keep up with new and emerging technologies," said Mr. Jordan. "She has made enormous contributions to global librarianship. It has been a great privilege to work with Joan, and the talented team she has assembled will serve the global library community well for years to come."
About the Dewey Decimal Classification system
In 1876, Melvil Dewey first published his innovative classification system. He established Forest Press in 1911 to edit, publish and distribute the classification. Since then, the Dewey Decimal Classification system has been continuously revised to keep pace with the ever-expanding realm of human knowledge. Today it is the world's most widely used library classification system with more than 200,000 libraries using the system worldwide.
About OCLC

Despite the relative success of such later features as "Secrets and Lies" and "Topsy Turvy," Mike Leigh's 1990 "Life Is Sweet" — the film that first got him noticed internationally — has apparently never been released on disc in the U.S. until now. Criterion has just put out DVD and Blu-ray editions, both from a new transfer and sharing the same extras.
Leigh's working technique is unusual and close to unique: He and his actors start with character ideas and meet together for months to organically build the rest outward until they have a locked-down shooting script. It is ironic, then, that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences seems to prefer nominating Leigh for writing (five times) rather than directing (two times).
"Life Is Sweet" is a little slice of life — half comedy, half drama — about a British working-class family (Jim Broadbent, Alison Steadman, Jane Horrocks, Claire Skinner) and their friends (David Thewlis, Timothy Spall, Stephen Rea). The family members are all either practical or dreamers, except for Horrocks' character, a purging anorexic who is bitterly stuck in a rut.
Leigh's earlier films were not known for visual appeal. "Life Is Sweet" seems more carefully shot, and the Blu-ray looks at least as good as the print that played in L.A. during the initial release. There are few extras, but they're good ones. There is an hour-long audio recording of a Leigh Q&A at London's National Film Theater back in 1991. Also included are five five-minute shorts that Leigh made in 1975 as a sort of abortive TV pilot. (One of them includes a surprisingly trim young Richard Griffiths.)
The prize, though, is Leigh's thoroughly intelligent commentary track, recorded this year for Criterion. Another bonus is the inclusion of English subtitles for the hearing-impaired, which will be welcomed even by the hearing-unimpaired: It's nice to have a "translation" of those moments when, for American viewers, the regional accents are incomprehensible.
"Life Is Sweet" (Criterion, Blu-ray, $39.95; DVD, $29.95)
is the film critic for Marquee. He can also be heard on "FilmWeek" on KPCC-FM (89.3).

Purely Elizabeth, a burgeoning natural foods company that just landed its granola products in Target stores nationwide, has relocated its headquarters to Boulder from New York City.
Purely Elizabeth last week moved its corporate headquarters to 3200 Carbon Place, off 30th Street in Boulder.
The company, which was founded in 2009, switched co-packers earlier this year and signed with Natural Food Works' contract manufacturing operations in Denver, said Elizabeth Stein, the company's founder and chief executive officer.
"I just felt that it would be strategically beneficial to be close to the co-packer and to be in a community that was so deeply entrenched in what we do," she said.
Purely Elizabeth makes a variety of granolas, oatmeal and baking mixes that are gluten-free, vegan and certified organic. The products are carried nationally at retailers such as Whole Foods Market.
Starting this past Sunday, Purely Elizabeth's Ancient Grain Granola line is available at every Target store in the United States.
"When I started the company, as a holistic nutrition counselor, really my goal was to create a product and help change the way people eat," she said. "To reach so many more people in such a broader (way) is a dream come true."
Stein lauded Target's movement to bring in more natural, organic and niche products.
"I think it just really speaks to the changes in consumers' eating habits and behavior and knowledge," she said.
Purely Elizabeth is profitable and is expected to post revenue of $5 million this year, she said. The company recorded triple-digit sales growth in 2012 and 2013 and is aiming to do the same this year, she said.
The three-person company also could double in size this year, she added.
Purely Elizabeth is one of several natural products firms that have relocated their operations to Boulder in recent months.
Since the beginning of the year, Boulder Brands Inc. completed its headquarters move to downtown Boulder from New Jersey, Quinn Popcorn relocated from Boston and Yummari, a maker of chia seed-based energy bites and snacks, settled in Boulder after uprooting from New York.
Liz Hanson, economic vitality coordinator for the city of Boulder, said the evolution of Naturally Boulder into a thriving nonprofit from humble beginnings as a city-funded task force has helped Boulder land some new companies.
"This shows what we already believe about Boulder is that we have become a mecca, so to speak, for natural and organic products," she said. "Obviously, this is something that has evolved over time."
The natural and organic products industry has deep roots in Boulder's history, she said, noting homegrown companies such as Celestial Seasonings.

Move of the Week | 19th-26th January 2011
Avalanche Hip Toss
Trent Baretta and Drew McIntyre are two names you can easily speak of when defining the future of WWE. Although Drew is pushed further than Baretta, Baretta is a great character and the two have put on some exceptionally good matches. This was no different when the two met on the latest edition of Friday Night Smackdown! After a back and forth match which saw many amazing moves pulled off, Baretta scaled to the top. But Drew is a guy that is always one step ahead, and he leapt to the top before grasping Trent's arm and flipping him off the top, causing him to crash back first off the canvas. The move, known as an Avalanche Hip Toss, is appealing and was a great final move in this exciting contest.
Other Contenders:
Mason Ryan's House of Pain– This week saw the WWE world introduced to the power that is Mason Ryan. Although he has a pretty sub standard finishing move, it sure as hell marked a great debut for the British wrestler as he powered Cena onto the canvas, hard.
Edge's Big Boot– The Big Boot is one of Edge's favourite manoeuvres, and this week he busted it out on Justin Gabriel. However, what made it look better was that Gabriel was hit with the move whilst standing on the apron, causing him to hit the floor hard.
Randy Orton's RKO– A move that makes it on this list very regularly, but once more, Randy found a way to hit the RKO from pretty much out of nowhere. Ziggler snuck up behind Orton for the ZigZag, only to have his efforts turned into the Jumping Cutter.

Lebanon boys charged as adults in robbery
Police: Robbers take $11, cellphone from victim
LEBANON, Pa. —
Lebanon police said they have charged three boys as adults in a weekend robbery.
Police said they were called to the area of Fifth and Scull streets about 7:05 p.m. Sunday and spoke with a 14-year-old boy who he said he had been robbed.
One of the robbers had a gun tucked in his waistband and another robber showed a knife, police said.
Police said the victim told them the boys approached him and asked to borrow a dollar, which he gave them.
The robbers directed him down an alley and demanded more money, police said. The victim gave them $10 and a cellphone, they said.
Jason Jenkins, 15, and 16-year-olds Juvenal Robles and Jose Lebron, all of Lebanon, were charged with robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery and simple assault.

eziAssist | July 28, 2015 , Uttarpara-kotrung, Hooghly
Jharkhand's education minister, Neera Yadav's act went viral on the internet after she was photographed putting a tilak on a garlanded picture of India's former president Dr APJ Abdul Kalam on 22nd July, 2015. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam was alive at that time. Co-incidentally, the People's President breathed his last on 27th July 2015 just 5 days after the shameful incident.
In India putting a garland on someone's picture is a way of paying respect after someone has passed away. The photo was taken at a school function in Hazaribagh district where Yadav was the chief guest to inaugurate a 'smart class' at Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandir.
To add to the irony, Kalam had been in the same place in May this year when he addressed a gathering at one of the state's biggest agricultural universities.
Was this a curious case of coincidence or is it some of those things which cannot be answered by mortal beings.
However, we will miss one of the greatest teachers of all time and the missile man will be remembered for years to come. But we are sure that the people who are behind the stupid incident would feel a chill in their spine for the rest of their lives.

Thanks for the replies will look at all options at the moment, but cost is a major consideration so although i would love a Nuvinci 380 or 330 they tend to cost more than what i plan on spending for the whole trike especially in Australia as shipping costs from overseas can add up. Still not totally happy with having a belt drive system from the outside casing of the IGH to the rear axle. I By far the cheapest solution is to mount 2 derailleurs (one for each wheel) on the rear axle and this will give me a greater gear change ratio as well - still looking at options.
My terrain is not flat and as I plan on taking it off road I will want some fairly low speed ratios.
Thank once again

Do you need to strengthen the security of the mobile apps you build? Discover more than 50 secure mobile development coding practices to make your apps more secure.
In the tech world, for everything that is running as a service or website 24/7/365, there must be someone available to take care of any issues that arise. It's been quite common to see that someone in the organization monitoring the service (or website) and act in case of issues. Some orgs do have an operations team on the frontline, others have developers. Even if the operations team exists, someone from the engineering team who develops and/or maintains that code must be available if there's an issue that requires further investigation. All of these people that, either at work or at home are available through cell phone, pager, or email, are what is called on-call.
In my opinion, on-call can be a virtuous cycle that improves the code, provides good customer service, and over time tends to decrease the issues. BUT the problem is that, very rarely the environment and the on-call is set up for this virtuous cycle to happen.
When are you NOT setting your company up for a successful on-call?
Customer service is not the priorityThe primary goal of being on-call is to detect issues before customers and prevent them from hitting the issue. The secondary issue is, if an impact is inevitable, to reduce the impact on the customer. This must be the direction given to all engineers on-call, and must be valued by management through rewards, being a top item on the list for performance, time for this work must factored into schedules/estimates, among others. But this is not all, in order to be really customer-centric, the right investment in monitoring must be made, the lessons must be applied in order to improve the process, tools must be written to speed up process, tests for disasters or failures must be conducted. When on-call does not have this focus, but it is essentially to meet metrics (time the issue was in my court), or just to get rid of and go back to the task that has higher priority or rewards, for instance, then this on-call is not virtuous and tend to provide poor customer service.
Monitoring is not sufficientIf the company is really customer-centric, monitoring in the code must be all over the place. Monitor must be sensitive to minor changes before the customer is impacted and must be very proactive in alerting the team. Not having monitoring in the system may sound like it's good (no news is good news), but you can essentially be providing a very poor service to the customer as you will only fix some of the issues IF and WHEN the customer reports it. Monitoring cannot be an afterthought, monitoring cannot have second priority. At least not if you plan to be serious about providing a service.
Wrong people on-callOftentimes to meet the obligation of being on-call and to reduce the load, anyone on the team is added to the on-call list, even if the person is not familiar with the system. Doing that, although can look good at first as knowledgeable people don't need to be formally on-call, is a really bad idea in my opinion. First, the knowledgeable person will very likely be engaged anyway. If the person is not available, you risk having an outage or you risk having a customer impact. If the person is available, by doing this you essentially delayed the resolution by having a middle-main engineer whose role is just to engage others. This is not virtuous, as it essentially doesn't solve the problem of reducing the load, but also add load on whoever is on-call and decreases the customer service quality.
On-call people are not vested into really fixing the issues and improving the serviceEssentially, if on-call people do not have a feeling of ownership for what they are maintaining and being woken up for, this is not a virtuous cycle. It's not virtuous because they will not be vested into doing the proper investigation, fixing the issue, or improving the process – after all, they don't feel that they are owners and being on-call can be just an obligation, a nuisance. To be virtuous, the right thing is to get engineers to own the service, to be able to make the decisions (and be held accountable for them), to have the desire to improve the service. That is one of the pre-requisites for people to be on-call and actually see the importance of that activity.
Many of the issues are due to other teams/orgs at the companyHaving people vested into the service can do so much if the interdependencies makes them suffering the consequences of other team's issues. This is not a problem unless management does not make the right investment to fix the underlying services that causing issues. Otherwise, it can cause the sense of ownership not to be sufficient as the on-call engineer will be paying the price for something that s/he's not responsible for, and the cycle is no longer virtuous.
Too many issuesFor any service that is very popular and/or not yet mature, besides having the right people on-call, these people must be able to handle the issues in a reasonable fashion and still be able to sleep and have the basic needs met. Once you're over this threshold and people have to live for the issues, as they are getting out of hand, something is amiss and needs to be fixed. If the investments are made, this can be fixed and does not impact the virtuous cycle, otherwise it can show that on-call and customer service is not the priority for the company, generating discomfort and dissatisfaction on the side of those that have to do it.
The feeling is just to get rid of or blame someone elseStill related to other items, if the goal is to meet some metrics and just get rid of the issue or blame someone else, this cycle is most definitely not virtuous, as it does not bring the benefits of a great customer service and of improving the process.
I have felt good being on-call given the right circumstances, and being on-call taught me so much about how to engineer a system to be run as a service, and improved and matured the systems I was being on-call for. It's a matter of not doing the things above, showing respect for those professionals that are on-call, and getting them to be vested into the service through ownership. Essentially, make the "have your skin in the game" something that makes sense to the engineer. It's rare to find these things, but if you do it, you can rest assured that you started your virtuous cycle.

An X-rated saucy photo has turned a Doncaster mining village into an overnight web sensation.
The village of Skellow was thrust into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons after a Twitter user discovered that typing the village's name into search engine Google provided quite eye-opening results.
For rather than a photograph of the village, web users were presented with a picture of a man in an explicit snap - with his modesty hidden only by a towel.
Twitter user David Firth made the discovery at the weekend and took to social media to reveal his findings.
He tweeted: "Don't think the people of Skellow, South Yorkshire would be happy with how Google pictures them," before posting a link to the picture.
The news was soon picked up by online news and social media site Buzzfeed with the story being viewed 100,000 times while the story also went viral on Facebook and Twitter.
The photo, which is too explicit to reproduce, orignates from a blog called Housequake, with Buzzfeed reporting the photo may originally have been taken by someone in Wigan.
However, it is thought Google may now have rectified the problem and users typing in Skellow may not be met with the same image.

Barbara Crampton Week: Episode One!
There exists, although its numbers are very few, a class of movies that approach cinematic perfection. Films in which every directorial and scriptwriting decision appears to have been the right one, in which the cast seems perfectly suited to their roles from the star right down to the nonspeaking extras, where the slightest change in editing or music or set design would necessarily be for the worse. Casablanca. The Godfather. My Life as a Dog. These movies approach the apotheosis of their genres, and stand as shining monuments of their creators' genius to which others can only aspire. Movies that are, for all intents and purposes, perfect.
Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator (1985) may well be the perfect B-movie.
If you were a horror geek coming of age in the 1980s, as I was, Re-Animator hit you like an atom bomb. With its mix of mad science, incredible effects, hilarious black humor and sex sex SEX, the movie couldn't help but impress itself inexpungably on the brains of an entire generation of horror fans. It made a horror superstar not only of its director, but an instant icon of Jeffrey Combs for his legend-making performance as Mad Scientist nonpareil Herbert West, and a Scream Queen par excellence and permanent Vicar's Happy Place-resident of Barbara Crampton as the plucky, innocent, and fearlessly naked damsel in distress Meg Halsey. It didn't hurt Richard Band's reputation as a horror-score composer, either.
I'd wager it's hard to be a horror fan worth your salt these days and NOT be intimately familiar with the movie's plot, but for the benefit of those under the age of twenty who've been weaned on PG-13 horrors and needless remake/reboots, here's the Readers' Digest version: kicked out of medical school in Sweden after a shocking pre-credits experiment goes awry and leads to his mentor's eyeballs exploding out of his head (could have happened to anybody), neuroscientist prodigy Herbert West (Combs) transfers to Miskatonic University in Massachusetts to continue his research. Needing a place to live and work undisturbed by prying eyes, West answers a "Roommate Wanted" ad posted by clean-cut med student Daniel Cain (Bruce Abbott), who just happens to be dating Megan (Crampton), daughter of Miskatonic U's puritanical Dean Alan Halsey (Robert Sampson). West wastes no time getting on the wrong side of the college's eminent neurosurgeon and grant-machine Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale), who also has a creepy-old-man affection for Meg. When West uses his dayglo-green chemical reagent to re-animate Dan's dead cat and draw his roommate into the wonderful world of Mad Science, it's not long before neon-accented, goopy-gory hell breaks loose.
In my previous gushing review of Stuart Gordon's follow-up to Re-Animator, the also-gobsmackingly-wonderful Lovecraft-inspired From Beyond, I marveled at how Gordon never seems to waste a single frame of film, instead packing every minute of screentime with more symbolism, resonant images, and forward-thrusting fun than dozens of lesser films contain in their entire runtimes. In Re-Animator, Gordon and frequent collaborator/scriptwriter Dennis Paoli similarly hit on all cylinders, never spending time on anything that won't come pay off in spades later. The economy with which Gordon fleshes out his characters, for instance, is a master class of show-vs.-tell movie-making. In twenty minutes he's not only introduced all the principals and deftly established their motivations and eccentricities (West's mad genius, Dan's fear of/desire to conquer Death, Dr. Hill's egotistical narcissism) but he's also given us at least two memorable gore scenes--the pre-credits disaster and Dr. Hill's lecture on cranial autopsy techniques, which also wittily and wonderfully sets up West and Hill's antagonism--and a glorious love/nude scene from Ms. Crampton--a scene that also is not gratuitous, but serves to impart necessary information to the audience about her character and her relationship with Dan.
When Dan goes to Dean Halsey to tell him about West's groundbreaking discovery, the Dean's overly harsh reaction makes sense in light of his previously established puritanical bent and his feeling that no one is good enough for his daughter, least of all an irresponsible med student exposing her to a madman's experiments. His loans revoked, his relationship with Meg in a shambles, and his dream-career in jeopardy, Dan suddenly has a vested interest in helping West procure subjects for his experiments--if he can prove the prodigy has indeed conquered brain death, the Dean will have no choice but to rescind his punishments. Of course things go terribly, horrifyingly wrong in the morgue, and a rogue musclebound corpse murders the Dean before Cain and West can neutralize it. West sees the Dean as a perfect test subject, and Cain agrees because he doesn't think Meg would see him the same if she knew he was partially responsible for her dad's death.
The slavering, brain-damaged beast the Dean becomes makes Dr. Hill the Big Man on Campus, and also starts him wondering whether West really has re-created life. Blackmailing the young scientist into handing over his notes and reagent so that he can steal the glory, Hill is distracted by a microscope slide long enough to allow West to decapitate him with a shovel! (I'm going to go ahead and call a spade a Frankenstein-reference.) Unable to resist a fresh corpse, even in pieces, West injects both parts with his reagent. Of course like so many mad scientists before him, he has CREATED A MONSTER! Dr. Hill, toting his own head under his arm, escapes the scene, leading to a confrontation in the hospital that will involve an army of re-animated corpses, proof courtesy Dean Halsey of the persistence of personality after death, and the most re-wound/re-watched minute of videotape in the history of horror movies, courtesy the smokin' hawt Ms. Crampton and an absolutely monumental visual pun.
I've seen Re-Animator many, many times now (certain parts of it even more than others), and it never fails to sweep me up in its breakneck pace, amazing practical effects, and fantastic sense of gallows humor. Jeffrey Combs, in the role he was clearly BORN to play, just freaking OWNS it from frame one, investing his line readings and mannerisms with such delicious arrogance, intelligence, and MADNESS that most viewers would not be surprised to find out the actor actually had a basement full of bubbling beakers and body parts where he spends his hobby time. (He doesn't...as far as I know.) A scientific cipher for most of the movie, he inhabits the character so thoroughly that his one moment of real humanity--when in shock from the undead cat's attack, he plays an ill-timed joke on Dan and collapses in nervous laughter--is less "out of nowhere" than a surprising look behind his mask of SCIENCE. A tour de force performance than I never tire of watching.
I never used to be as big a Bruce Abbott fan as many reviewers, but over my last few viewings I've come to appreciate the quiet intensity he brings to the "Everyman" role, how his desire to do good gradually leads him into more and more outrageous situations as the script's fiendishly constructed domino pattern tumbles around him. And David Gale incredibly matches Combs parry-and-thrust in the Mad Scientist Wars, making you believe that below that calm, intense surface lies a world of madness and horror just waiting to be tapped. And when it IS tapped via West's impromptu craniectomy and ill-advised chemical jump-start, you believe there's no limit to what this madman will do. And you're right.
(Deleted scenes and commentary on the special edition DVD of the film reveal that originally there was a lengthy subplot to do with Hill's Svengali-like mental powers, which enabled him to hypnotize other characters like a snake and was meant to be the explanation for his ability to think and speak post-death when everyone else became an inarticulate zombie. Gordon wisely decided that "there was enough going on in the movie already," and cut all those scenes. It's a testament to the intensity of Gale's performance that his incredible willpower is more than evident without it, and that I for one never questioned his personality survival.)
I've waxed poetic (and otherwise, IYKWIM) about Barbara Crampton's performance in this movie more than once on this site, but it bears repeating: she is a wonderful actress at the top of her game here, juggling Meg's devotion to her father with her love for Dan in a believable, dramatic way--a subtlety of performance that many a lesser actress would have overlooked, opting instead to be the spoiled teenager counting her father a villain and her boyfriend a hero without further depth. She establishes her Scream Queen worthiness with several ear-piercing shrieks and facial expressions that would make Evelyn Ankers proud to call her "sister." And her bravery and devotion to the cause of practical effects-horror is well-documented. Barbara, I love you. You made me the man I am today.
Re-watching the flick for this review, I picked up on a lot of images and techniques that had escaped me before. Gordon never misses an opportunity for a resonant image and often quotes early scenes later in the movie to subtle but wonderful effect. For instance, in Meg and Dan's initial love scene, Dan pulls the covers up over his head and rises from the bed like a sheet-covered corpse; it's all playful and giggly here (though Meg is clearly disturbed as she laughs), but of course is a direct foreshadowing of later events, when Meg will be similarly menaced. More fun that that one are the trio of "Wall Splat" scenes--first when Dan flings his zombie cat against the wall, directly echoed by the muscular zombie tossing Dean Halsey at the bricks (even down to the blood spot!), and capped by the zombified Halsey pitching Hill's head at the wall like a fastball! If you don't cheer every time, get out of my club. And a regular recurrence of extremely effective over-the-shoulder POV shots serves to put the viewer in a given character's place, further immersing the audience in the film.
I said at the beginning of this rave that Re-Animator may be the perfect B-movie, and I stand by that. The essence of a B-movie, in my opinion, involves its bigger-than-life intensity, its ability to excite, thrill, and perhaps terrify, and a certain childlike glee that would seem indecorous in an A-list feature. Re-Animator has all these in spades, and its sheen has not dulled in the twenty or so times it's passed my eyeballs. Of course there's no accounting for taste, and there may well be some of you out there who don't understand all the hubbub I and other fans make over a silly little sci-fi/horror movie from the 80s, pointing out occasionally iffy effects (like the cat-puppet and Dr. Hill's dickey-o-flesh), questionable motivations ("Overdose theory"? WTF?), and the like. If so, allow me to take this opportunity to say: fuck you.
To rate this movie properly, I would need to collect all the thumbs ever lost in shop classes and industrial accidents, stitch them all togehter into some kind of gigantic Koosh-style Thumb Ball, and inject it with Herbert West's reagent to set it a-wigglin'. In short, Off the Thumb Scale. Watch it again; you won't be sorry.

Oh dear. I'm afraid you've gone and set the bar impossibly high for Barbara Crampton week, dear Vicar. What an amazing review! Truly the pinnacle for B-movies, no doubt, this movie remains the catalyst my young brain used to forcibly pull me into loving movies that are MMMMad in nature.
Splendid job, sir! Let us hope I can follow-up with something only half as readable.

I have a hard time being impartial about Re-Animator and From Beyond, as those films hit me right in my middle-school gorehound phase and really shaped my ideal of how a movie should work, but that breakneck go-for-broke approach is something I'd love to see more movies go for. Also, the only walking corpses that really seemed creepy -- that headless chicken spasm gets me every time. Also, anybody who says "Sure, but that's not *really* what Lovecraft was writing about" gets a punch in the snout.

Great review, it reminded me what I loved about the film and made me want to see it again.
And in my opinion Jeffery Combs is one of the best character actors out there. He stole the show in THE FRIGHTENERS and I really enjoyed his voice work as The Question in the JLU cartoon.
I am surprised no one ever cast Bruce Campbell and Jeffery Combs in film together. Maybe something that involved them rescuing strippers from vampires or Amway salesmen or something like that.

Thanks for the comments, everyone!
@Knarf Black XIV--I love love LOVE Chopping Mall (as my previous review shows)--just non-stop fun from one end to the other, and an early example of Ms. Crampton's amazing talents. :)
@db--You can see you're not the only one who was formatively influenced by the wonders of Re-Animator. (See the Duke of DVD's and Ashton Lamont's comments. :) ) And you're right about the spasmic zombie-walk--very creepy, and just the kind of uncanny detail that Gordon handles so well. As for the Lovecraft purists, I suppose they'd have preferred the flick to have NO women in it and be full of casual racism as well...but you can't have everything. ;)
@Ashton Lamont--What, you mean you're not 15 NOW? ;)
@Warfreak and @Jay Clarke--thanks guys! You're the reason the Duke and I watch all these movies! Well, you, and our ingrained cinematic deviancy...
@Al Bruno III--preach it, brother! Combs is definitely one of those guys who always makes an impression, whatever he's in. I love his work, but I would still posit that he was never better than right here. As for why a Campbell/Combs pairing has not yet occurred, I can only assume it's because such a confluence of awesome would shake the very planet to its foundation and bring about the End Times. Though what a way to go!
Stick around for more Crampton-centric goodies all week!

Wow...I am totally impressed by the length and depth of these reviews. Bravo!
I am holding out for a Reanimator in space project ala Jason X...but with better results? I can't help it, zombies in zero gravity would be HILARIOUS. Can't you just see it?
