"What, like it's hard?"
You can call Kanye West a lot of things, but you can't call him a bad businessman. On Tuesday (July 9), Forbes unveiled their latest cover featuring Mr. West, who they estimated made $150 million over the past 12 months (his team insisted "the number is even higher"), making him the third highest-paid entertainer over the last year.
The feat is huge in its own right, but when you weigh in the fact that just three years ago Ye claimed to be in $53 million in debt... it's MONUMENTAL. So, how'd he do it? Well, that's still up for debate, but according to Forbes, Kanye's fortune can greatly be attributed to his Yeezy brand and partnership with Adidas. "I'm just blessed through the grace of God to go from tweeting at Mark Zuckerberg" to ask for money, he said, to where he is today. (Who could forget that cringy tweet where Ye asked the Facebook founder to invest $1 billion in his "ideas?")
Back in August, The Blast reported that Ye was just shy of joining the billionaire club, claiming that Kanye's Yeezy brand had just reached a valuation of nearly $1.5 billion. The site cited the fact that Kanye was a majority stakeholder of the fashion label as further proof he was right at the line of being considered a billionaire.
While Forbes reported that Ye still hasn't earned the billionaire title just yet, the mag added "the never-modest" Mr. West would certainly "claim he's there already. And then some."

Imagine your life a peaceful journey where you can find what you need with ease and speed. You are always prepared and ready for whatever you need or whatever comes along. How does that make you feel? Calm? Stress free? Organized? Read on for some simple, basic ways to create and maintain an organized environment.
The first step is to think in "categories". Keeping related items together by category assures that you will store things in the appropriate places which will ultimately make everything easy to find. For example, keep your clothing categorized by keeping shirts together in one section of your closet, skirts together in another, dresses, and so on. You can even categorize your clothing by color, skirt lengths and sleeve lengths to make getting dressed quick and easy.
In the kitchen, categorize related items together such as keeping cereals on one shelf, baking items on another, cans on another, and so on.
The next step is to keep things uniform. When everything is uniform, you can easily see what you have (or don't have) and spend less time searching. The best way to keep your clothing visible and accessible is to hang everything on uniform hangers. It will give your closet an instant makeover that you will enjoy forever.
In the kitchen, instead of shoving open boxes and bags of food into your cabinets, store everything in uniform, clear, air-tight containers. Not only will everything look neat and organized, but it will be easier to see everything and your food will stay fresher, longer.
Start organizing with these basic steps and you'll be surprised how the rest of your organizing life falls neatly into place.
Happy Organizing!

LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson's struggle against drug addiction was on display Monday during opening statements in his mother's wrongful death case against concert promoter AEG Live.
Competing portraits of Jackson emerged during the first hours of the trial, with Katherine Jackson's attorney acknowledging the pop star's drug problems while also trying to show he was a caring son and father.
"His stirring voice, his musical genius, his creativity and his generosity and his huge heart was extinguished forever," her lawyer, Brian Panish, said in his opening remarks.
AEG's attorney, Marvin S. Putnam, said that while Jackson's death was tragic, his guarded private life meant the company was unaware that he was using the powerful anesthetic propofol.
"The truth is, Michael Jackson fooled everyone," Putnam said. "He made sure that no one — nobody — knew his deepest, darkest secrets."
A jury of six men and six women will determine whether AEG should pay Jackson's mother and three children for their losses after his 2009 death from an overdose of propofol. Millions and possibly billions of dollars in damages are at stake in the case that opened with private photos of the singer with his children and video clips of Jackson dancing.
"This case is about personal choices," Putnam said about Jackson's decision to be treated by physician Conrad Murray. "Also, it was about his personal responsibility. There's no question that Michael Jackson's death was a terrible tragedy.
"I believe the evidence will show it was not a tragedy of AEG Live's making," Putnam said as he ended his opening statement. Testimony will begin Tuesday.
Panish said AEG created a conflict of interest for Murray and forced him to choose between a large payday and Jackson's care. He told the jury AEG was feeling competitive pressures and wanted the Jackson tour to work at all costs.
"They didn't care who got lost in the wash," Panish told the jury.
Panish played a song that Jackson wrote for his three children, "You Are My Life," and displayed a note the singer had written for his mother that brought tears to her eyes as she sat in court.
Katherine Jackson sued AEG Live in September 2010, claiming it failed to properly investigate Murray before allowing him to serve as Jackson's doctor as he prepared for his "This Is It" shows. She is also suing on behalf of her son's three children — Prince, Paris and Blanket.
AEG denies it hired Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death. AEG's attorneys have said the company could not have foreseen the circumstances that led to the singer's death at age 50.
Panish told jurors that AEG executives ignored warning signs about Jackson's health and were motivated to push the singer and his doctor to improve their own financial fortunes.
"We're not looking for any sympathy," Panish said. "We're looking for truth and justice."

Twitter novelty account Authentic Wm. Gibson (@AuthenticWmGibs) assures us that it contains "Synopses for William Gibson novels that are definitely 100% real, but only in a timeline with greater authenticity than this one." While some of the writer's pastiches of Gibson's futuristic global politics, explorations of technology, and fascination with the minutiae of design and fashion are off-the-wall bonkers, some of them we'd actually like to read.
Much like TNG Season 8 (which tweets imagined episodes from a never-made season of Star Trek: The Next Generation), @AuthenticWmGibs lovingly pokes fun at the conventions of Gibson's work while coming up with some intriguing ideas of his own:
Remember, if you'd like to follow the William Gibson from this universe, you can find him on Twitter @GreatDismal.

Multi-Run Telecast Delivers 2.2 Million Total Viewers and 1.6 Million Adults 18-49
Ranks as the #4 Most-Watched Original Comedy Series Debut on FX in Adults 18-49
LOS ANGELES, July 24, 2014 - Television viewers blissfully embraced Married life, as FX's newest original comedy series starring Nat Faxon and Judy Greer from Executive Producer Andrew Gurland scored 1.5 million Total Viewers and 1.1 Million Adults 18-49 in its initial run (7/17/14, 10:00-10:30 PM). Its two encore telecasts combined to deliver an audience of 2.2 million Total Viewers and 1.6 million Adults 18-49 (Live+3 basis).
Married's premiere made it FX's #4 most-watched original comedy series debut in delivery of Adults 18-49 behind Wilfred, Lucky and Archer. Additional top ranks across FX's original comedy roster for a premiere episode include #2 in Women 18-34, #3 in Women 18-49, and #4 in Adults 18-34 and Women 25-54 (Live+3 basis).
Episode 2 of Married, "The Shower," airs tonight, July 24 at 10:00 pm e/p. AJ and Jess hijack Russ and Lina's night out. (Written by Andrew Gurland and Salamo Levin; directed by Jesse Peretz.)
Married is a half hour comedy about being miserably in love. Russ and Lina Bowman can barely remember what life was like before kids, debt, and suburbia rained on their romance - but every once in a while, in between the arguments about their declining sex life and who's driving carpool, they are reminded what drew them together in the first place - they're best friends. The show also features Russ and Lina's friend AJ, who is recently divorced and pretending he's over his wife, and their other friend Jess, who is married to a much older man who can't keep up with her.
Married stars Nat Faxon as "Russ," Judy Greer as "Lina," Brett Gelman as "AJ" and Jenny Slate as "Jess." Paul Reiser guest stars as "Shepard," Jess' husband. The series was created by Andrew Gurland (The Virginity Hit, Mail Order Wife), who wrote and directed the pilot and serves as Executive Producer/Showrunner, alongside Executive Producers Peter Principato and Paul Young. The series is produced by FX Productions.

The technology of the PistenBully 4.0 ton winch has inherent advantages
Four tons of pulling force (4.4 ton US), 1,050 meters of rope, and an extremely robust gearbox. The PistenBully winch maintains a constant pulling force that does not vary between first wrap and last. The "action" radius between the two multi groove capstan pulleys is constant regardless of how much rope is on the drum. The entire winch assembly is mounted on a turret that rotates 360°. This eliminates the need to monitor or compensate for rope twist on turnarounds. The operator never has to worry about sequencing his turnarounds to the left and right.
The active boom winch control that comes standard also ensures the optimum steering capability of the machine in difficult snow conditions. Selected steering parameters can be modified to accommodate the snow and slope conditions. The low-wear winch system and the high durability of the gear wheels and shaft bearings ensure long and safe usage with a low maintenance requirement.

What is a download gate?
A download gate is a landing page for our music (or other type of content), where we trade a free download in exchange of social support (follow the author and collaborators on SoundCloud or MixCloud, like songs and etc.).
What is a smart link?
A smart link is a landing page for our music, where we list all of the links to online music stores and streaming services, that a certain song or album is available in.
Why and when do you need access to my account?
We need this only for our download gates. Each time you want to download something from our catalog we are going to ask you to give permissions to our web APP to connect to your SoundCloud/Spotify/YouTube or MixCloud profile. For each download gate there are certain actions you need to do in order to unlock the free download (like songs, like videos, follow profiles, subscribe to channels and etc.). We call those "gate rules". Once you click the download button and authorize the connection our APP is going to automatically fulfill the gate rules for you (you are going to follow the listed artists, profiles, like the listed songs and etc.). Your download will be unlocked after that.
Do you extract and store any personal information?
On download gates
To get a basic idea of who you are we do store your current display name in our database (we extract that from the authorized profile). Please note, that this is NOT your unique user name or channel ID (if you have connected with YouTube). We do not store any sensitive personal information like your unique user name, email, profile/channel ID, gender, street address, real name and etc. Display names are not unique and can be (in most cases) changed often, so we decided, that this is the only information we would need to keep track of who is downloading our music. We do keep track of where our downloads are comming from, but we never extract and store any location information from your authorized account (like your street adress). However, we do analyze your IP address and try to guess from wich country and city you are downloading. For example, if you want to download via Mixcloud and give our APP access to your mixcloud account where you entered "Denver - Colorado" as your location, but you are right now in New York, our system will store "New York" as the origin of the download.
On smartlinks
To get a basic idea of who you are and where the clicks are coming from, we do analyze your IP address and try to guess your current location (country and city).

Each time you want to download something you will see a list of all the artists you need to follow, channels you need to subscribe to, songs and videos you need to like. If you have already fulfill some of thease "gate rules", then our APP will skip them when you authorize the connection and you will still get the free download at the end.

Adapted Momofuku Compost Cookies Recipe
Baked for the 2010 Serious Eats Cookie Swap
"The original recipe is found here. I picked this because I like the original Momofuku cookie, and this recipe gets you the same cookie, but in a smaller doses." —Blondie of Blondie and Brownie
- Yield:Makes about 24 cookies
- 4 ounces cold unsalted butter, chopped up
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 tablespoon corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 large egg
- 4.5 weight ounces flour (If you don' t have a scale, fluff up the flour and scoop up 1 heaping cup. Sweep top flat)
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 cup sweet add-ins
- 3/4 cup salty add-ins
In stand mixer with paddle attached, cream cold butter, both sugars and corn syrup on medium high until fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl.
Add eggs and vanilla and stir to incorporate. Increase mixing speed to medium-high and run mixer for 10 full minutes. During this time sugar granules will dissolve, mixture will become an almost pale white color and double in size.
Meanwhile, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
By hand or using lowest speed of mixer, stir in flour mixture – don't beat it in or the cookies won't be as tender. Stir in candies and salty things.
Using about heaping 1/3 cup measure or a stingy 4 ounce measure, scoop up dough and form rounds. My scooped rounds weighed a little less than 4 ounces each. Put shaped rounds on plate, cover with plastic wrap and chill for a few hours or until ready to bake.
DO NOT BAKE your cookies from room temperature or they will not hold their shape.
Heat conventional oven to 400°F. (350°F in convection oven). Arrange chilled cookie dough balls on parchment or non-stick foil lined cookie sheet – mine was insulated. If your cookie sheets are thin, you might want to stack two and bake cookies on stacked cookie sheets.
Bake 9-11 min (I baked mine for 12-13. While in oven, cookies will puff, crackle and spread. According to original recipe, at 9 min the cookies should be browned on the edges and just beginning to brown towards the center. At 9 minutes, Mine were pale and doughy looking. Leave cookies in the oven for additional minutes if needed (it will be needed) and bake a total of about 12-14 minutes. All ovens are different so you'll need to watch cookies, specifically the edges.
Cool cookies completely on sheet pan before transferring to plate or airtight container or tin for storage (I cooled mine on sheet for only about 5 minutes, but mine were a tad bit overcooked so they were fine).

You certainly don't have to be on this earth long to understand that there are many scary things surrounding us: terrorist attacks, global warming, bullies in school, natural disasters, and even aging can be a scary proposition. However, one universal occurrence seems to frighten even the most stalwart optimist: receiving a diagnosis of cancer.
We have all heard the fact that nearly everyone of us has been touched by cancer, either directly or through some acquaintance. And yet, even though cancer has become a fact of life, we tend to deny it exist until it hits us smack dab in the middle of the head: You have cancer!
How does one deal with the diagnosis of cancer?
Maybe the greatest emotion attached with cancer is fear, and primarily, the fear of the unknown; as cancer (in its many insidious forms) is an unknown subject – we all have be touched by it, yet most of us have little, if any, in-depth knowledge of what cancer is and how it affects us.
So, it would seem the first place to begin coping with the diagnosis of cancer is with knowledge.
At the time of your diagnosis, your life may seem in a tailspin. It is. But you have to gain control and pull yourself out of that spin. One way to do that is to focus on your entire life and the responsibilities you already have in hand. For example, continue to care for your family and focus on your job with the same eight hours a day vigor you did prior to your cancer diagnosis. Obviously, you cannot ignore your cancer, but you can focus on other areas of your life so that your cancer does not monopolize every single action you must take.
The American Cancer Society published an article entitled, "A Message of Hope: Coping with Cancer in Everyday Life," (www.cancer.org/treatment/treatments-and-side-effects) listing the following suggestions for things to do to deal with your emotions:
Cancer is a scary event. It can be deadly, and yet, many, many patients with cancer survive and live relatively healthy and normal lives; even to the point of total remission.
Take control of your cancer. Take control of your life.
Learn how to cope with this new part of your life, and remember, you are not alone in this battle – use your support systems.

Chrysanthe-mum's the word
TWEED flower growers are ramping up for one of the busiest days of the year this Sunday.
Crystal Creek Flowers owner Janelle Wright said chrysanthemums were the biggest sellers from the company's roadside flower business leading up to Mother's Day.
"It's a traditional Mother's Day flower," Mrs Wright said
"It's the busiest time of the year. We plant about 500 seedlings a week.
"We planted in the second week of January to have the flowers ready for Mother's Day."
Although Mrs Wright sells a lot of chrysanthemums her favourite flower is the rose although the flower farmer does not grow any on the two-acre property.
"We offer about 17 varieties of flowers and we trial new ones as well," she said.
"The hardest for us to grow are the lilies."
Many Tweed residents would see Mrs Wright's flower shop on the roadside of Tweed Valley Way.
"It's my business and my sole income," Ms Wright said.
"It's a lot of work and can be really challenging."
Ms Wright always grew vegetables but when the family business was passed to her she moved her focus to flowers.

Agreement on Nagorno-Karabakh is observed, Putin says
"Russia actively efforted to help for ceasing military operations between two states that are friends for us, and promoting them for compromised resolution", Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a speech at a summit of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS), APA's correspondent in Moscow reports.
"As a result of our mediation, an agreement was reached on November 9 on a complete ceasefire and the deployment of Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno-Karabakh. All of these were mentioned in a trilateral agreement signed by the Presidents of Russia, Azerbaijan, and the Prime Minister of Armenia. The important thing is that the mentioned agreements are observed. Military operations have been suspended fully, the situation is stabilizing. Thus, conditions have been created for a long-term and full-scale settlement of the crisis, and on a fair basis, in the interests of both the Azerbaijani and Armenian peoples," said Mr. Putin.

10 Most Common Blunders People on the Job Make
By Skip Freeman, Interview Coach
Chances are, if you are currently employed, you probably think there is little, if any, reason you should even be thinking about finding another job. Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. With companies shedding jobs virtually every day, no one is "safe" in today's BRUTAL job market, and that certainly includes those who are currently employed. Based upon my professional experience, as well as experience in the market each and every day, here are what I see as the "Top 10" mistakes employed people are making today:
Mistake #1 — Not realizing that the best time to find your next job is while you still have a job.
In today's economic environment, many employed people are overworked, haven't had a decent pay raise recently, have not been able to take vacation, are "furloughed," (or soon to be), etc.
Understandably, there is a huge pent up level of dissatisfaction in the work place and it's growing worse by the day. A recent survey by Robert Half, for example, indicates that 58% of the work force plans on making a career change as soon as the economy gets better. (That number goes to 79% in the 18- to 35-year old category).
What does all of this mean? It means that as soon as the economy does in fact get better—and it will, eventually—the number of people competing for openings will double and, whether it is fair or not and whether one likes it or not, currently employed people will have an edge over unemployed people.
So, if you are dissatisfied at work, NOW is the time to begin to ramp up your job search activities before everyone else does.
Mistake #2 — Believing that a company will be loyal to you. Loyalty is gone, if it ever did honestly exist.
If a company has a choice to keep you or cut you, they will do what is in the company's best interest, not yours. If you can bring a return to them that is worth more than your cost, they may keep you. If they believe you cost them more than you are worth, they likely will let you go. They don't care if you are on the unemployment line. They don't care if you and your family have no health insurance. They don't care if you can feed, clothe and house your family. So, your keeping an eye open for better opportunity is no different from the company keeping an eye on its bottom line and determining every month whether you are worth it to them to keep you on the payroll.
Mistake #3 — Not keeping an updated resume handy.
When I was in graduate school, one of my professors said that there are at least four things you always need to have readily available: (1) A certified copy of your birth certificate; (2) a certified copy of your grade transcripts; (3) a copy of your marriage license (if applicable); AND (4) a copy of your updated resume. When you get that call from a recruiter or the perfect opportunity avails itself, you don't want to be delayed by having to craft your resume from scratch. Here, 20 years later, I know from experience that he was right.
Mistake #4 — Not creating (and updating) your LinkedIn profile.
This is a must for any professional. (And, by the way, make sure your LinkedIn profile and a resume profile are the same.)
Mistake #5 — Failing to align yourself with an excellent recruiter within your niche.
Good recruiters become career coaches and finding one is a lot like finding a good doctor, lawyer or accountant. You may have to work with several before you find one that gels with your needs and personality. Once you do, stay in touch. You don't use recruiters everyday, just as you don't go to a lawyer everyday (at least I hope not!), but develop a relationship with one so that when you do need them, they are there to help you.
Mistake #6 — Failing to stay involved within your industry or professional specialty.
The more contacts you have within your industry or profession, the better. These contacts can literally spell the difference between quickly "landing on your feet" following a job loss or not.
Mistake #7 — Failing to develop (and keep updated) your personal marketing portfolio.
This portfolio should contain the "highlights" of your professional accomplishments, e.g., promotions, contributions to current or past employers, awards received, professional organizations that you're associated with or have made contributions to and so forth.
Mistake #8 — Failing to ensure that you can be easily found.
For example, making sure that your personal and professional contact information (home and business telephone numbers, cell phone numbers, email addresses) is current and constantly monitored.
Mistake #9 — Failing to learn how to network properly and then participating in appropriate networks on a continual basis.
Remember, the time to begin networking is not right after losing a job. It should be an ongoing process—whether or not you are satisfied with your current position.
Mistake #10 — If offered a new position with another company, you even think about entertaining any "counter offer" your current employer may offer you.
To do so usually is tantamount to "career suicide." Why? From the moment you submit your resignation you will forever be considered to be "disloyal" to your current employer, a "traitor." While the company may appear to be "buying" your continued services with their counter offer, in fact, all they really are doing is buying "time" until they ultimately can replace you with someone who is more "loyal" to the company.
If you are currently employed, how many of these "mistakes" are you making? Remember, the Boy Scouts have a great motto: Be Prepared! Certainly, if you want to survive in today's "challenging" (to put it mildly!) job market, that's what you should be.

Critics of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump have raised questions about his temperament and mental stability as his verbal gaffes mount and he continues to lash out at his opponents, NBC News reported.
Many of Trump's GOP allies have been publicly apoplectic about the unorthodox campaign, contradictory statements regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump's critical remarks about the Muslim-American parents of a slain Iraq War hero.
A Washington Post column this week asked "Is Donald Trump just plain crazy?" and on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Joe Scarborough said he fielded calls from Republican party insiders asking, "What's happening to him, what is wrong with him?"
U.S. & World
Dr. Justin A. Frank, a psychiatrist who has written about other presidential demeanors, told NBC News he sees Trump as a brilliant salesman and showman who has more in common with theatrical performers like Judy Garland or the fictional lead character in "All That Jazz" than anyone with a pathological disorder.

At a public forum Monday evening, November 29, town officials in Moretown heard a request from Road Commissioner Rae Washburn to purchase a new tandem dump truck for the highway department. Washburn told the members of the Moretown Select Board that the estimated cost of the new truck is $179,000.
According to Washburn, the town could pay $60,000 per year without interest; the difference in cost between a single-axle and a tandem is minor, approximately $12,000.
"I think it's very clear, this is the truck we want," he said.
Select board chair John Hoogenboom asked Road Foreman Stuart Grandfield to estimate the resale value of the tandem versus a single-axle truck.
Grandfield said, "It all depends on the shape of the truck after 10 years. There is more use for the tandem afterwards."
"The other thing is, with the single-axle, when we pull out with sand, the plow and wing, we're overweight, way overweight," he continued.
The new truck would replace the 2001 single-axle truck currently used to spread chloride and as a "backup vehicle," Washburn said. If the truck is not approved, Washburn said the maintenance costs on the current vehicle "will skyrocket."
"Our 2004 is already 6 years old. If we don't get a truck now, we're looking at the drive train, the brakes, the engine," Washburn said.
In addition, he said, "The 2007 has not been a good truck; we've had chronic electrical problems that have been taken care of under warranty."
Grandfield said that since he was hired, the 2007 has been towed away on a wrecker twice, twice during plowing. When asked about reimbursement for time lost on the road, Grandfield said there is no credit on the warranty for lost man hours due to broken trucks.
Washburn said that if the town does approve the purchase of a new dump truck, the three tandems would be used to haul sand in the summer, then use the newest two for winter road maintenance.
"We've talked about this in the capital budget. I think there's a lot of support for the capital budget. It's been on the table. I think we should order this truck right after the first of the year," Washburn added.
"I think people recognize that we need a new town truck," he continued.
Washburn said they would try to get more than one bid on the truck as well as purchase the truck in-state so as to avoid traveling to have it serviced.
Grandfield said his goal is to "keep the 2001 and run it into the ground. Once it cannot be inspected, get salvage out of it, keep the tandems in rotation, trade them in to get the good value. When we need another single-axle for chloride you can buy one at auction."
Moretown Planning Commission member Jonathan Siegel said, "Now this is going to raise the budget unless you cut out $60,000 worth of stuff; it's just about getting the approval and keeping a third of the truck in the budget."
Moretown Town Treasurer Amy Deutl asked about the status of the already approved one-ton pickup truck. She said she had spoken with a salesperson at Cody Chevrolet who said the new truck may not be ready until January.
Grandfield said, "They're telling you different things than they're telling me. They told me it's just a matter of getting it on a train."
In the meantime, Hoogenboom said, maintenance of the roads not covered by the new truck will be subbed out until the truck arrives.
"The only, perhaps, issue is with that, is we're subbing it out, but we're not going through the same process as we usually do."
Select board member Reed Karrow said, "In good faith, we thought we'd have a truck. I think people will understand."

Cloning allows you to copy an existing configured and installed zone on your system to rapidly provision a new zone on the same system. Note that at a minimum, you must reset properties and resources for the components that cannot be identical for different zones. Thus, the zonepath must always be changed. In addition, for a shared-IP zone, the IP addresses in any net resources must be different. For an exclusive-IP zone, the physical property of any net resources must be different.
Cloning a zone is a faster way to install a zone.
The new zone will include any changes that have been made to customize the source zone, such as added packages or file modifications.
Solaris 10 5/09: When the source zonepath and the target zonepath both reside on ZFS and are in the same pool, the zoneadm clone command automatically uses ZFS to clone the zone. When using ZFS clone, the data is not actually copied until it is modified. Thus, the initial clone takes very little time. The zoneadm command takes a ZFS snapshot of the source zonepath, and sets up the target zonepath. The system names the snapshot SUNWzoneX, where X is a unique ID used to distinguish between multiple snapshots. The zonepath of the destination zone is used to name the ZFS clone. A software inventory is performed so that a snapshot used at a future time can be validated by the system. To clone a source zone multiple times, the zoneadm command allows you to specify that an existing snapshot should be used. The system validates that the existing snapshot is usable on the target.
You cannot use manual snapshots, such as the type described in Creating and Destroying ZFS Snapshots in Oracle Solaris ZFS Administration Guide. This type of snapshot lacks the data to perform a validation.
You might want to clone a source zone many times but not want to have a new snapshot for each clone. The -s parameter to the clone subcommand allows you to specify that an existing snapshot taken from a previous clone should be used. See Solaris 10 5/09: How to Clone a Zone from an Existing Snapshot.
Because the contents of a snapshot represent a zone from a point in the past, it is possible that the system has been updated in some way, such as by patching or upgrading, since the snapshot was taken. The fact that the zone was upgraded could render the snapshot invalid for use as a zone on the present-day system.
You can specify that a ZFS zonepath be copied instead of ZFS cloned, even though the source could be cloned in this way.
See Solaris 10 11/06: Cloning a Non-Global Zone on the Same System for more information.

When we got a chance to see Samsung's Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet at this year's Mobile World Congress, we came away impressed by most of the improvements to the older Note 10.1 tablet but learned nothing about the device's pricing and release date. We now have both: the tablet will be available on April 11th for $399, $70 more than Apple's base-model iPad mini and a full $200 more than the Nexus 7. The US version of the tablet is mostly identical to the one we saw at MWC, but it's missing the HSPA+ modem and other hardware required to make phone calls—US customers won't be able to get their hands on an 8-inch smartphone just yet.
Though this particular tablet is new, on the inside it's practically identical to last year's Galaxy Note 10.1. You get the same Exynos 4 Quad processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage as the other tablet, but in a smaller enclosure. For this price (the same, incidentally, as the Samsung-made Nexus 10), it would have been nice to see one of the newer Exynos 5 chips in this tablet, but the quad-core Exynos 4 should be sufficient to drive the tablet's 1280×800 display. The tablet's software, which emphasizes multitasking and input from the accompanying S Pen, is also similar to the Note 10.1, but the Jelly Bean software Samsung is currently offering seemed both a bit faster and a bit more stable than the Ice Cream Sandwich-based build we evaluated when we reviewed the Note 10.1.
The Note 8.0's digitizer and pen give it a unique hook that neither the iPad mini nor the Nexus 7 can boast of, but at a starting price of $399 you'll have to pay a substantial premium for the privilege. We'll have more time to evaluate the tablet next to its peers for our full review—look for it in the coming weeks.

Gov. Scott proposes fund for spring training | News
Lakeland, Florida -- Gov. Rick Scott announced Wednesday a proposal of an annual fund to work with cities and baseball teams to keep them in Florida for spring training.
The governor made the announcement at Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, the spring training facility of the Detroit Tigers. He was there doing his 16th "Let's Get to Work Day", in which he raked fields and greeted fans in the parking lot.
According to Governor Scott, the proposed $5 milion annual fund would be matched locally 50/50. During a press conference, he stressed the importance of spring training in Florida, calling it an economic booster and a job creator that generates $750 million a year to the state's economy.
This year marks the 125th anniversary of spring training in Florida. There are currently 15 Major League Baseball teams training. The state, however, has been in a battle in recent years to keep teams from relocating to Arizona.
Governor Scott has visited the Bay area several times before for these work days. His last trip was in July 2012 when he worked as a park ranger at Hillsborough State Park.

Development of the central nervous system and its changes because of ageing and diseases
The structure of the human central nervous system changes during its development, but also because of ageing and e.g. neurodegenerative diseases. In particular the latter changes might be accompanied by losses of cognitive or motor abilities or by psychic changes. For the understanding of these processes it is important to localize and quantify precisely such changes of the central nervous system. For this purpose we developed image analysis techniques like the deformation field morphometry, which were applied in several clinical studies.

Sometimes words don't translate. Sometimes they're not used correctly. And then other times, they are dead on.
A group of students from Jinan University, one of China's oldest universities, posed under the school's arch. Some held their degrees. Others held stuffed animals. One group had a sign regarding one class, which read, "You Fucked My Youth."
"Fuck", of course, is a famous (infamous?) word in Asia; however, not everyone knows what it means—not everyone reads English! So some people could pass by this sign and not know it had profanity. These students, however? No doubt, they knew.
Each of the students held a piece of paper with their wishes written in Chinese—wishes that range from a rich wife to *coughs* rape.
The picture is making its way around Chinese cyberspace and causing a bit of a ruckus with professors from different universities chiming in about the times they've visited Jinan and what they thought of the students.
"If the students have the courage to take such an edgy picture, they probably have the ability to endure a variety of criticism," said one professor. Sounds like he knows what he's fucking talking about.

If one of your kids would say, "You know, Dad, math is boring. I don't want to go to math class anymore," would we even consider saying to the child, "Oh, honey, you're right, math is boring and so you only have to go to math class through the eighth grade and then no more math for you"? Of course not, but something has happened in us Catholics over the last 40 or 50 years so that the faith component in our kids' lives has become optional. Connecting the dots, that would suggest that it's become optional for parents as well. Math has not become optional, but somehow faith has, when Mom or Dad say, "Once confirmed, that's it for religion classes, and Sunday Mass is up to you."
–from the U.S. Catholic magazine interview with Sean Reynolds, director of youth and young adult ministry for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, about how to pass on the faith to our children and adolescents. Reynolds challenges both parents and parishes with his analysis of why Catholic youth fare so poorly in national studies of young people's faith. Read the interview here, and see a short Reynolds video here (or below)—he answers 5 questions from U.S. Catholic editors.
