Web activist Aaron Swartz, charged with hacking MIT archive system, dies at age 26
Web entrepreneur and political activist Aaron Swartz, who made headlines in 2011 when he was charged with hacking into MIT's network and mass downloading millions of documents from a subscription-based archive, took his life in Brooklyn Friday, according to a statement from his family and partner.
Swartz, 26, hanged himself in his Brooklyn apartment Friday, according to the statement and the New York Medical Examiner's Office.
"We are in shock and have not yet come to terms with his passing,'' said Swartz's family in the statement. "We're grateful for our time with him, to those who loved him and stood with him, and to all of those who continue his work for a better world.''
Swartz was a giant in the hacking community, and eulogies for the young man flooded social media Saturday.
"Aaron dead. World wanderers, we have lost a wise elder. Hackers for right, we are one down. Parents all, we have lost a child. Let us weep,'' read a tweet from the account of Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the World Wide Web.
Swartz was an activist for free information on the Internet.
At age 14, he helped develop RSS, a system that quickly distributes updated Web pages to other websites or people. According to his online biography, he was the cofounder of online news site Reddit and the founder of nonprofit political action group Demand Progress.
In July 2011, Swartz was charged in US District Court in Boston with hacking into the archive system JSTOR on MIT's network in 2010 and downloading more than 4 million articles, some of which were only available for purchase. Authorities said Swartz planned to distribute the information free on file-sharing websites. At the time, he was a fellow at Harvard University's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics.
Swartz was facing up to 35 years in prison and a $1 million fine. According to court documents, Swartz pleaded not guilty to the charges on Sept. 24, 2012. A spokeswoman for the United States Department of Justice declined to comment on what will happen with the case pending against Swartz.
In their statement, Swartz's family slammed his prosecution. "Aaron's death is not simply a personal tragedy,'' reads the statement. "It is the product of a criminal justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach. Decisions made by officials in the Massachusetts US attorney's office and at MIT contributed to his death.
"The US attorney's office pursued an exceptionally harsh array of charges, carrying potentially over 30 years in prison, to punish an alleged crime that had no victims. Meanwhile, unlike JSTOR, MIT refused to stand up for Aaron and its own community's most cherished principles.''
In remembrances posted online, Swartz's friends recalled an intense thinker who could have changed the world.
"Aaron had an unbeatable combination of political insight, technical skill, and intelligence about people and issues,'' wrote Cory Doctorow, science fiction author, activist, and co-editor of the blog Boing Boing, who said he had known Swartz since Swartz was 14 or 15. "I think he could have revolutionized American (and worldwide) politics. His legacy may still yet do so.''
Swartz's funeral will be held Tuesday in Illinois, where he grew up. He will be remembered at Central Avenue Synagogue in Highland Park, Ill., according to his family, who have set up a memorial website at rememberaaronsw.com.

Grippo's has been making their delicious snack foods since 1919. There's nothing plain about our potato chips. For a little more zip try our Wavy Salt & Vinegar, Wavy Sour Cream & Onion, Wavy Sweet Maui Onion or Wavy Cheddar & Horseradish flavored potato chips.
Grippo's was founded by Angelo Grippo in 1919. Known as the Grippo's Cone Company, it manufactured rolled sugar cones in a one-room office on Court Street in Cincinnati, Ohio. Grippo's added pretzels to their business and in 1923 began hand twisting and baking the traditional twist pretzel. The standard sized pretzel sold for a penny each at retail locations throughout Greater Cincinnati.
In 1930, Angelo Grippo invented the loop pretzel. Mr. Grippo wanted a simple pretzel that could be made easily and would resist breakage. The loop pretzel looks like a tear drop. Mr. Grippo not only invented but also constructed and put the pretzel looping machines into operation.

Let $X \to \mathbb P^n$ be a fiber bundle of algebraic varieties with $X$ an affine variety. What is the smallest dimension that $X$ can be?
An obvious lower bound is $n+1$.
An upper bound is $2n$, given by taking the complement of a generic effective divisor of bidegree $(1,1)$ in $\mathbb P^n \times \mathbb P^n$. (Alternatively, take the canonical "duality" $(1,1)$ divisor defined by viewing $\mathbb P^n$ as the Hilbert scheme of hyperplanes on $\mathbb P^n$.) The complement of an effective ample divisor is of course affine, and since the divisor is locally constant on the fibers its complement is as well.
This construction is the construction in this question, which also inspired my question, with the second condition removed.

When you are planning on setting up an web based business it really is firmly suggested you do as much research as is feasible before you get moving.

The individual that by no means gets off the sofa will never have great results on-line. Neither will the particular person that reads every business online handbook ever before circulated and also is not able to work on a worthwhile approach. On the other hand, in comparison to constructing a solid business enterprise, starting up an online business is rather uncomplicated and low-cost. With the opportunities of internet marketing or drop shipping promotion, many can even come across marginal expenses to begin developing an quick income stream. Though several options are as swift, easy and low-cost to execute as an online business, even so achievements constantly demands hard work.
It really is too late to launch an web business. Despite the fact that it is a fact that fantastic fortunes have witout a doubt been made on the web, truth be told eCommerce is still in its beginnings. Hardly any industry is simpler to gain access to and get to than the World wide web and also its improvement is expected to firmly keep on for years in the future. Since just the first quarter of 2007, there were roughly $1 billion dollars in online store revenues.

Primarily great firms make lots of money on the web. The neat thing about possessing an online business and also developing a pro looking website is it is basically impossible for the average consumer to look for the size of the company operating press announcements business. An individual virtually could physically design an online marketing website that looks very similar to Wal-Mart and several wouldn't be able to tell the big difference. Those who insist that it is difficult to compete with big companies and make-money online are certainly correct in their presumptions. Negative attitudes will always be a assurance of disappointment.

Phenomenon Ultrasound
Dental cleaning with 100% Original Ultrasound from Emmi-dent
Electric and sonic toothbrushes are becoming ever more popular and promise a professional standard of dental cleaning and hygiene. However, Emmi-dent, with its unique and patented dental care system, is now setting a new trend for a completely new kind of dental cleaning and oral hygiene. The name of this trend is: 'Superior dental hygiene with 100% Original Ultrasound.' It is gentle, motionless and does not involve brushing or any abrasive action! This revolutionary method of dental cleaning with 100% Original Ultrasound is based on a globally unique patent – the Ultrasonic Piezo-Chip created by Emmi-dent. This Piezo-Chip sits in the head of the ultrasonic toothbrush and generates up to 96 million ultrasonic waves (air vibrations) per minute. These ultrasound waves are then transferred, via the bristles of the toothbrush head, onto Emmi-dent's specially formulated toothpaste. At this point 'micro bubbles' are generated, which react with the air vibrations and implode. These implosions effectively eliminate and remove food particles, plaque and bacteria from within the oral cavity. In this way, Emmi-dent offers a unique opportunity to effectively clean your teeth to a professional standard on a daily basis, within the comfort of your own home. Clean your teeth professionally, care gently for your gums and prevent the accumulation of plaque, tooth decay, inflammations and other dental problems. It's so easy with Emmi-dent! Dental cleaning and oral hygiene now has a new name: Emmi-dent!

Paris, Florence, Berlin, Rome, New York, Athens – when famed art-related cities of the world come up in conversation, Springfield, Ill., is not generally on the list. That's not likely to change soon, but recently a fresh movement in the local art scene awakened a dormant spirit of cooperation and inspiration for area visual artists at all levels of ability, age and ambition. Introducing a new troupe of creative talent to the community, the truly organic movement allows artists to offer art for public viewing without the permission of juries or venues, freeing the artist to reach an audience directly, rather than using an established gallery or presenter.
This loosely knit group of area artists, intertwined in a monthly showing of visual art known as the Third Thursday Art Show, vary in ability and experience, but come together with a concerted desire to present their creative works to the world. Based on a similar event staged in Kansas City and introduced to Springfield by the ubiquitous and itinerant area artist Michael Mayosky, the consistent monthly shows nurtured a hesitant, yet prolific and budding, art scene bubbling beneath the surface of Springfield's average artistic presentations.
Mayosky, well known about town for his large murals at Penny Lane, Augie's Front Burner and outside at the Maya restaurant on Second and Jefferson, has a life pictured by many as the idealistic, romantic vision of an artist on the brink, living day by day for his art. This lifestyle as an edgy entity in the area art world encourages others to present art in a free and easy way, without the normal limitations of gallery and jury. He used his reputation to encourage attendance for the original show, and challenged his fellow artists to bring their work.
"I brought an audience and they delivered the art," says Mayosky, speaking of the first Third Thursday event held in the fall of 2009 and the initial artists involved. "I stalked some people to get them to show and kept after these younger artists who just needed to get stuff out there to gain confidence in their work."
The shows were and are open to any artist who shows up with art objects and a desire to display them. As simple as it sounds, artists can call ahead and arrange for space or, as often happens, just be there the day of the show, find a spot to hang or otherwise display the art objects of choice, set a price for their art and become a part of Third Thursdays. Felicia Olin is likely the participating artist with the most outside shows, including an exhibit at the UIS Visual Arts gallery last year, featured artist at Prairie Art Alliance last spring, a just-finished show in Chicago in May and currently a display at the Illini Union Art Gallery in UIUC through Aug. 26. She could not emphasize enough the impact of Third Thursdays for a new presenting artist.
"You see a bigger picture of where you are as an artist by being part of a show like this," she explains. "When finding out it's not so hard as it seems to show art, you learn the basics: Get your stuff ready to hang, put a tag on it and show it. It's a good starting point."
From the very first shows at Bar None, a downtown club and live music venue, Mayosky's Third Thursday concept always included a moving gallery of sorts, so as the event grew, locations changed. After a one-time stop at another location, last summer the group found a home in the building housing the venerable Norb Andy's Tabarin on Capitol Street.
"Jeremy, I don't remember his last name, (Thomas, then manager) at Norb's is a pivotal part of getting this going," says Mayosky. "The venue there was a brilliant place to gain validity in the audience's eyes and then the thing took off."
Despite the city closing the block of Capitol Street directly in front of Norb's for months to renovate the street and sidewalks, Third Thursdays flourished at the new venue. Hickox House, the building space above the bar, proved an ideal location for hosting a free-for-all art show. Like some fantasy dreamland, musicians played inside Norb's as artists displayed upstairs, while patrons wandered between the spaces and discovered a creative pulse gaining strength in their normally artistically foggy hometown. Seemingly becoming some free form, far-flung artist colony supported by the closeness of blocked-off streets and energized by the creative forces present in the participants, Third Thursdays gained a personality. In doing so they became marketable and sustainable.
"I left on the Third Thursday show in August to do a 10,000-square-foot mural in Grand Rapids for ArtPrize – a blast, but another story," says Mayosky. "I was gone for six months. Others like Becky Van Dyke, Ted Keylon, Mandy Magill, Adam Pursch and Ryan Sponslor took the reins then. Barney (Barnabas Helmy, creative director of FIRM, Inc.) asked us to move the shows to Andiamo's and Norb's by then had new owners. It was a perfect match."
Starting at the downtown Café Andiamo! bar, restaurant and coffeehouse in October of 2010, Third Thursday became a viable venture, featuring several rooms of art on two levels with the number of artists presenting ranging from 50 to 60 on any given night. With several music acts scheduled and many more requesting to play, free snack food, plus meals and drinks for sale, the shows took on a circus-like atmosphere, not normally felt at your average gallery art exhibit. Past shows have included face painting, performance art, scavenger hunts, fashion shows, simultaneous music acts in different rooms and art created to music performance, all adding to the free-wheeling atmosphere encouraged by the spirited artists.
Still conducted with no official group in charge to decide who could show or when they should show up or where they would display, the event underwent growing pains, as toes got stepped on and egos bruised in the process. Through passionate exchanges on social network sites and many reply-to-all emails discussing directions the group should go, all participants who wanted to could weigh in on issues facing the burgeoning project.
"The design and timing of the shows made it possible for lots of people to do a part. I really wanted a true anarchy – a loaded word, I know – but it is working. I am honored," says Mayosky. "But it in no way happened overnight. The original artists who mattered most in the beginning were Mary Tumulty, Joe Kozak, Samantha K. Allen, and me. The first year was the hardest, but we made it through."
During the time others stepped up to help with organizing while Mayosky was away in Michigan, a soft hierarchy formed within the intended anarchy. As agreements were reached about formally setting up the shows and basically how to manage the entire fledgling organization without destroying it, Third Thursdays marched on. Gently guided by the disparate idea of controlled chaos, artist collaborators worked hard at working together, intent on keeping intact the original concepts of freedom of expression and showing art without permission, all while keeping many diverse artists happy and content. The answer came through simply caring and believing in the good nature of the shows, along with an intense desire to sustain the founding principles of sharing art with artists and an audience.
"Energy – that's the word that keeps coming up. People say it feels good at a show," says Mandy Magill, currently the unofficial go-to person of Third Thursdays, along with Ryan Sponslor, who handles much of the promotion details. "It's built on love and utter devotion. It's like watching a growing child and we get to watch it grow every month."
Ted Keylon, local artiste about town and Third Thursdays music organizer, webmaster and art presenter since early on, says, "We all help with the pieces, but Mandy's the glue," in explaining her role in keeping the ball rolling and the art coming.
She gives Keylon full credit for drawing her into the group and encouraging her to carefully and prudently organize and nurture the all-important anarchy-like feel to the shows. A librarian by trade and the mother of two young children, when her library job was eliminated last year she became a full-time, stay-at-home mom. While praising that work as important, Magill recognized a need in herself to work with the public and be a part of something else, fulfilling a heartfelt personal desire while being a parental role model through giving back and working within her community.
"You have to care about and need to be involved in the place you live in. I'm not from here and now have an instant, just-add-water family of wonderfully weird little artists. I love them," she says. "This is like a huge life raft that's lifting us all up. I've never seen anything like this anywhere else."
On the most recent Third Thursday, July 21, around 5 p.m. as Café Andiamo! began filling up with artists and art objects, Mandy was not there to direct traffic and lead the artistically talented but organizationally challenged group. She left earlier in the week for a brief visit with her husband's family in Georgia, and things functioned fairly fine without her, further proof of the group's ability to continue happening as a unit working with itself, not struggling to find a leader to control it.
"I love the freedom of Third Thursdays, but sometimes it freaks people out to not have charters and written rules," she says. "But it's working and if change needs to happen it will organically."
As the group expanded and reached out to the community, other art organizations felt Third Thursday's impact on the area art scene. Magill formerly participated in the Prairie Art Alliance and the Springfield Art Association, but though finding them beneficial to her artwork, had difficulty keeping up with the fees and methods included with the larger and older organizations. She's not alone in her thinking. Differing artistic principles somewhat formed along generational ideas and artists' ages, but also encompassing economic views, separate the newcomers from the established groups. The average age of Third Thursday participants compared to the SAA or PAA would no doubt be much lower and the average fees associated with participation in the older associations would certainly be higher than the zero amount needed to show at a Third Thursday. Differences aside, a significant intertwining relationship between the groups has already begun.
On July 15 the Springfield Art Association opened a gallery exhibit featuring Third Thursday artists. As a summer gallery plan fell through at the nearly century-old arts organization, executive director Betsy Dollar contacted the Third Thursday group and instigated a gallery show. She gave the artists a theme of music for inspiration and called the gallery show ArtBeats to coincide with the SAA's upcoming Jazz Canvas event on Aug. 19. Quite suddenly the oldest arts group in town hosted the youngest, and both organizations improved each other's credibility while introducing art to different audiences and artists to a different world.
"The artists I wanted were the younger undiscovered ones in the area that we could develop relationships with. In the future we can do more elaborate exhibitions with extra time to plan," Dollar stated. "It coincides with our plans to truly be a community art center as an anchor for the arts community. And it's nice to see work that is multi-media and experimental and to bring in something different."
Considering that the last gallery exhibit consisted of works by the Illinois Prairie Pastel Society and the next one is of students and faculty of the SAA, the Third Thursdays collection could well be the most avant-garde-leaning show of 2011. The dissimilar designs of the various members of the loosely formed union make for a stunning show on the walls of the often less-than-provocative hall. An exclamation made by one viewer while taking in the ArtsBeats exhibit – "Do these artists all live here, in Springfield?!" – could very well be a slogan for Third Thursday members as they continue to present heartfelt art in an uncommon way.
"It's so unique to have a show that has no jury and no fees, plus everyone who volunteers their time makes it special," added Felicia Olin. "Michael has really started a great thing for us. It's the kind of thing we all talk about doing but it never gets there. This got there."
As with any new, expanding organization, growing pains continue, but without a doubt, the movement from thought to action took an amazing and rewarding path. By allowing new and undiscovered artists the opportunity to show creative works to a wider audience through involvement in the process, Third Thursdays changed the practice of presenting art in Springfield, ushering in a new era of art appreciation while exposing a fresh group of artists to the public scene.

Thousands of Canadians are accessing U.S. Netflix
More Canadians are pretending to be Americans than ever, but it's only so they can watch better Netflix.
Canadians are bypassing Netflix region locks and watching television shows and movies that are supposed to only be available to American Netflix subscribers. A new study indicates that as many as one in three Canadian anglophones mask their location to access U.S. Netflix while still in Canada.
In order to do this, people are changing their device's IP addresses — whether it's their game console, personal computer, phone or tablet – by enabling a virtual private network (VPN) and other geo-blocking services. Since IP addresses, the electronic code that lets a server know which device on the Internet is which, are assigned geographically, giving your device an American IP, through a DNS server, makes Netflix think you're an American, and stream all the extra content your way.
When it comes to online streaming services, there is a vast disparity between what's available to Canadians and what is available to Americans. This is mostly due to licensing agreements in the various countries in which Netflix is available. Since these restrictions are regional, companies like Netflix often use IP addresses to block certain pieces of content from certain countries.
But because this practice is so widespread, so are the services invented to get around it.
Services like Toronto-based Unblock-Us have made the process of changing a computer's IP address ridiculously easy, even for people that aren't that technically inclined. For a relatively low monthly fee ($4.99 a month) and with a few simple button presses, Canadians now have the ability to access a wealth of content that they previously couldn't simply by telling their computer to pretend it's in a different country.
For example, popular shows like Sons of Anarchy and the West Wing are only available in the U.S. Also, on March 30th, 2013, various Cartoon Network TV shows, will only be available on the U.S. version of Netflix. In contrast, some big-budget Hollywood films are released on Canadian Netflix before its U.S. counterpart. In general, Canada also has more cable shows than the U.S. Other content like Lost and Breaking Bad are available on both versions of the service. So are the most recent hits like the Netflix-produced original show House of Cards and Orange Is The New Black.
Using a DNS service opens the flood gates to movies and television shows, and also makes cutting that cable cord a little easier.
It's impossible to tell how many people are using this service, since privacy laws and industry standards prevent anyone from releasing their numbers.
When you visit a webpage, your computer accesses a DNS server to determine the IP address of the website you're visiting. Normally, when you aren't using a service like Unblock-Us, your PC will receive the appropriate DNS address and fetch the page from the server at that specific address. When you do this, your system includes an IP address with network packet containing the fetch request.
When using a service like Unblock-us, instead of giving the computer the IP address of the destination site you'll receive the address of one of Unblock-Us' U.S.-based proxy servers.
However, since DNS services usually assign a person an IP address within a certain range, Netflix does theoretically have the ability to tell who is bypassing their region locks.
As of yet, there have been no reports of Netflix banning subscribers for using DNS services. But it's important to note that using any kind of DNS service also clearly violates Netflix's terms of service.
Unblock-Us markets themselves as a service for American expatriates who are dying to access good old American content from their new home. In reality though, a quick Twitter search shows that it's actually mostly Canadians who are accessing the U.S. Netflix content and not American expats.
Remember when you tried to watch a music video on YouTube or a U.S. news website, but couldn't because of this awesome message, "This content is not available in your region"? Well, using a DNS service lets you watch this content too. With a little ingenuity, Canadians can even use American-only services like Spotify, Hulu and Amazon Prime Instant Video.
If you look hard enough, there are also other much cheaper, and sometimes free, VPN services out there. But Unblock-Us has dedicated videos and guides that explain how to set it up on all of its supported platforms, making the setup process much simpler.
When using services like Unblock-Us the best option is to simply just change the DNS settings on your router, giving all of the devices in your home access to U.S. and international content. If you're using Unblock-Us, switching between regions is as simple as changing a setting on their website (sometimes it is glitchy though).
On most platforms, the process is as simple as entering a new DNS address in your device of choice, and visiting the Unblock-Us website for the appropriate instructions. (Of course, if you want to have some extra fun with custom DNS entries, there is that possibility, too.)
The flood gates are now opened and you can enjoy American Netflix content.
It's difficult to tell how many Canadians are using DNS services but the numbers might be substantial. For example, Unblock-Us' Twitter account has over 11,850 likes. Those kinds of numbers don't come up out of the blue. Also, similar paid DNS services like BlackLogic, have been popping up over the last few months. Bestvpn.com is also a great source for viewing the pros and cons of the various VPN services out there right now.
According to the CBC, 10 per cent of all Canadians stream content on Netflix and Netflix says their service has just over a million Canadian subscribers. The difference of 2.5 million people (Canada's population is 34.88 million) could be chalked up to almost anything – or just a bunch of Canadians pretending to be Americans through geo-blocking services.
In a recent interview with Postmedia, Netflix's CEO, Reed Hastings, stated that the company still has no intentions of releasing regional Netflix subscriber statistics. Hastings also says that since Netflix's Canadian launch, Canadian BitTorrent traffic has seen a significant decrease. However, BitTorrent refutes these claims, emphasizing that they are a legitimate country and that Torrents can be used for more than just piracy.

This story initially started swamping my Twitter timeline, at least until the Oscar nominations got announced and everyone debated why Tom Hanks got overlooked in Captain Phillips, which got a nomination for Best Film. (As I predicted, Twin Cities resident Barkhad Abdi got a supporting actor nomination for the film.) Before that, though, the announcement that Chris Christie brought in outside counsel to deal with the US Attorney probe into Bridgegate got the buzz:
The administration of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) has hired outside legal counsel to help it deal with a U.S. attorney inquiry into its role in crafting a politically motivated traffic jam, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
Christie's office is bringing in Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP. Leading the team will be former assistant U.S. attorney Randy Mastro, who co-chairs the law firm's litigation group.
This isn't as big of a deal as it looks. When something out of the ordinary arises on a legal front, it's not unusual for any organization, including governments, to bring in outside counsel. In-house counsel usually have a full plate with their regular workloads, and hiring more lawyers would be more costly in the long run than contracting the effort. Besides, in a situation where the issue is inside the organization, it's better to get outside counsel who have no ties to the rest of the organization, and who will have more experience in dealing with the opposition on the legal issues in play.
At any rate, Christie isn't the only one hiring legal gunslingers these days. Bill Stepien, Christie's former campaign manager who got cut loose this week from the Christie bandwagon, hired some pretty high-powered attorneys, too:
Bill Stepien, Gov. Chris Christie's former campaign manager and senior aide who was jettisoned in the wake of a controversy concerning the George Washington Bridge, has obtained a lawyer to represent him in the ongoing investigation.
Kevin Marino, of Marino, Tortorella & Boyle in Chatham, N.J., will be representing Mr. Stepien, according to Leon Sokol, the attorney for the Assembly transportation committee that has led the investigation into lane closures ordered by Mr. Christie's allies. …
His boutique firm has handled a number of high-profile financial cases, such as the espionage case against former Goldman Sachs Vice President Sergey Aleynikov for charges that he sold trade secrets.
Christie's political opponents brought in outside counsel for their probe into the administration, too. They hired the man who helped take down Illinois' Democratic Governor Rod Blagojevich:
New Jersey lawmakers investigating political tricks that emanated from Governor Chris Christie's office hired as special counsel the lead prosecutor in the corruption trials of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.
Reid Schar was the lead prosecutor in both trials of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, ending with Blagojevich's conviction on sweeping corruption charges and 14-year prison sentence. In perhaps the defining moment in his career as a prosecutor, Schar opened his cross examination of Blagojevich in the second trial in 2011 with a simple but tone-setting question: "Mr. Blagojevich, you are a convicted liar, correct?" Blagojevich had been convicted of a lone count of perjury in the first trial in 2010, but jurors deadlocked on other counts.
Other notches in Schar's belt include former Blagojevich fundraiser Tony Rezko and and Abdelhaleem Ashqar, who was accused of aiding the radical Palestinian group Hamas and ultimately convicted of obstruction of justice. Near the end of his 12-year stint at the U.S. Attorney's Office, Schar served as an adviser to Patrick Fitzgerald, giving input on charging decisions, management and personnel, and a host of other issues.
Democrats hired the man who torpedoed Democrats in Illinois? No hard feelings, I guess, but it's going to make Blagojevich's claims to have been the victim of a political railroading a wee bit harder to sustain, no?

Rihanna Holds Down No. 1 Spot on Billboard 100 for 10th Week
'We Found Love,' the longest-reigning No. 1 single of Rihanna's career, rules the Billboard Hot 100 for the second consecutive week and 10th week overall.
The song's 10 weeks at No. 1 are the most for any song by a female artist since Beyonce's 'Irreplaceable' began a 10-week run in 2006, and it exceeds the seven weeks at the top for Rihanna's previous biggest hits, 'Umbrella' and 'Love the Way You Lie.' 'We Found Love' is one of three Rihanna songs in the Top 40 this week, along with 'You Da One' and 'Take Care' with Drake.
Rihanna may not stay in the countdown penthouse for long, because Adele's 'Set Fire to the Rain' has raced up to No. 2 and was the biggest gainer in terms of radio airplay last week. Flo Rida rides up to No. 3 with 'Good Feeling,' while Bruno Mars holds No. 4 with 'It Will Rain.'
Meanwhile, Katy Perry looks like she's going to fall short in her quest to score an unprecedented sixth No. 1 single from one album. Despite its bargain-basement price of 69 cents on iTunes, 'The One That Got Away' remains stuck at No. 6 after a peak of No. 3. But Perry is not giving up yet — she unveiled a new acoustic version of the song earlier this week.

The media noticed Governor LePage's address at York County Community College on Friday mostly for his statement that "If you want a good education go to an academy. If you want a good education go to private schools. If you can't afford it, tough luck."
But other comments the governor made at the "Eggs and Issues" event may give us more insight into the next two years in Augusta. They also put lie to the statement LePage released after the Democrats' legislative victory last week where he said that "we must come together to find solutions," and "I stand ready to work with those who will put Mainers first and won't allow the political rhetoric to continue."
LePage's comments began, as many of his great quotes do, with the phrase "Uh oh, Adrienne is going to say 'Oh no,' but…" (Adrienne Bennet, LePage's Press Secretary, apparently could not prevent him from continuing.)
He then used an Adlai Stevenson quote to accuse the Democrats of lying and launched into a diatribe on his view of political change.
"I am trying to agitate the citizens of Maine. I'm not in this game to get reelected. I don't care about reelection. I will tell you it's the most corrupt vile system in America, is politics, because it's all lies. What it's about is I'm trying to agitate you folks to say we've had enough of this crap. Let's fix it. And how do you fix it? One way: at the polls."
So much for compromise.
Elsewhere during his remarks, LePage says that he'll be proposing a new bill on education that he knows won't pass and says that he's "going to continue with the barrage for the next two years" on energy policy.
A newspaper headline last week asked "His legislative base voted out, will 'street-fighter' LePage adjust?" The answer so far appears to be "no."

If you're fond of the eighteenth-century frontier, Native Americans, the Revolution, palisaded forts, and living history, then this is going to be a good month for you. (And in truth, you should be fond of all these things.)
This weekend is the Raid at Martin's Station, hosted by Wilderness Road State Park near Ewing, VA. It's become one of the finest living history events in the region. The recreated fort onsite is one of the most authentic structures of its kind anywhere, the setting is gorgeous, and the interpretation is top-notch. Plus, they're going to let me help shoot a cannon again.
Next weekend is yet another Indian assault on yet another recreated fort at yet another fine state park—the Siege of Ft. Watauga, hosted by Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area in Elizabethton, TN. Sycamore Shoals is a must-visit for anyone interested in early Tennessee history; I've only been to the site once, and I'm hoping to visit again this month for the event.
Let's have a HUZZAH!

It is breathtaking -- which is to say, breathtakingly scary -- to watch media outlets and politicians of both political parties praise Controller John Chiang.
Chiang's decision to deny paychecks to legislators because of his view that last week's budget was unbalanced violates all kinds of basic checks and balances.
But he's gotten away with it because no one likes the legislature and because his action is based on a gimmicky budget that a governor of his own party had vetoed.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
If you want to understand how dangerous this decision is, imagine a controller making the same decision in a different context.
Let's imagine a budget season in which a Democratic legislature produces a budget and a Democratic governor signs it.
But this time, the controller is a Republican.
And this Republican uses the power under the Chiang precedent to step in and declare: "This budget is unbalanced in my view. So I'm not going to pay the legislature."
And the controller would have some factual basis for the claim, given that budgets are full of predictions -- and in California, always a few gimmicks.
Would media outlets praise that controller? Would politicians on both sides be saying things about the controller's courage?
The question answers itself.
Which is why Chiang's decision can't be permitted to stand.

EXETER — The Provident Bank's Lobby for the Arts in Exeter presents "Seeking Optimism," an exhibit featuring the work of artist Sharon Marston. The exhibit is on display to the public during regular bank hours through the end of March 2013 at The Provident Bank's Exeter branch located at 95 Portsmouth Avenue.
The public is invited to an Artist's Reception honoring Sharon Marston on Tuesday, Feb. 26, 5:30-7:00 p.m. at The Provident Bank, 95 Portsmouth Ave. Light refreshments will be served.
Marston grew up in the Exeter area and has been creating art for over 30 years. After graduating from Maine College of Art in Portland, Maine in May of 1995, she exhibited in shows and took on freelance work, much of which consisted of digital paintings and graphic design. She has been painting with acrylics on canvas and woods since she was old enough to hold a paintbrush. Her work is inspired by light and the way it comes together with the natural world to evoke feelings of serenity and tranquil drama. Sharon currently lives in a small New Hampshire town with her family on a farm. Home is her favorite place to be; surrounded by woodlands and open fields. Her surroundings give her ample inspiration and freedom to create the art that fills her soul. Sharon recently joined the Art Licensing Group of New Hampshire and is focused on art licensing and seeing her images enhance a variety of products worldwide. More information about her can be found at sharonmarston.net.
The Provident Bank's Lobby for the Arts program, celebrating its 16th year, is an ongoing series of local art exhibits displayed at all The Provident Bank branch lobbies. It receives no commissions for artwork sold, and pays all expenses associated with the exhibit. The Provident Bank has been recognized for its commitment to building a creative community with a 2012 New Hampshire Business Committee for the Arts (NHBCA) Business in the Arts Award for its Lobby for the Arts program as well as for its support of local arts and cultural organizations throughout the Seacoast New Hampshire region.

Maine newspaper's concealed weapons permit list request riles GOP lawmakers
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � Maine Republican lawmakers are outraged by a Bangor newspaper's request to police agencies across the state for lists of concealed weapons permit holders.
Republicans held a news conference Thursday asking for quick action on a bill that would outlaw release of confidential information on concealed weapons permit holders. It was held after the Bangor Daily News invoked Maine's freedom of access law in asking police to release the data.
Republican lawmakers say releasing such information, as a New York newspaper recently did, could leave gun owners vulnerable to thefts, and endanger non-owners of guns.
The newspaper says it requested the records as part of long-term reporting projects on domestic violence, sexual assault and drug abuse. The newspaper says it's never had any intention to release identifying information about permit holders.

Just enough South Korean guile and goals on two set pieces gave Asia its first heroes of this World Cup on Tuesday in Durban.
Park Chu-Young curled a free kick past suddenly vulnerable Nigerian goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama in the 49th minute, and South Korea survived a late scare to advance to the round of 16 with a 2-2 draw.
South Korea clinched the second seed in Group B behind Argentina, who topped Greece 2-0 on Tuesday and eliminated the Greeks from contention. The Taeguk Warriors will meet Group A winner Uruguay on June 26 in Port Elizabeth.
South Korea advanced out of group play for just the second time in their history, eight years after their magical run to the 2002 semifinals, when the tournament was played on their home soil. They're also the first Asian Football Confederation team to reach the round of 16 since 2002, although both Japan and Australia are still in contention later this week.
Australia reached the round of 16 in 2006, but still played under the Oceania Football Confederation banner at the time.
The draw was the latest in a series of troubling results for African teams, despite South Africa's win over France earlier on Tuesday. African teams stand at 2-7-5 through the Group B finales, and have yet to qualify a side for the round of 16.
Chu-Young's moment came on a brilliant right-footed strike on a free kick from outside the box that beat Enyeama back post and gave the tournament its first goal scored directly from a set piece. That goal gave the South Koreans a 2-1 lead and erased a 1-0 early deficit, but the lead didn't last long against a Nigeria side that would have advanced out of the group with a win.
Just moments after missing perhaps the tournament's easiest scoring chance from two yards out, Everton forward Yakubu Ayegbeni buried a penalty kick in the 69th minute after a tackle in the box from South Korea's Kim Nam-Il.
Obafemi Martins missed a chance in the 80th minute to win it and advance, chipping a left-footed shot wide the far post and sealing an early dismissal for Africa's most populous nation and perhaps its most promising World Cup hope.
The scene looked promising for Nigeria in the early going Tuesday, thanks to a 12th minute goal from Kalu Uche. The Nigerian forward beat South Korean defender Cha Du-Ri to a pin-point cross from winger Chidi Odiah, giving the Super Eagles a lead that lasted until just before the half.
Lee Jung-Soo broke past Nigerian defender Rabui Ofolabi at the back post and nodded home a curling indirect kick from Ki Sung-Yeung in the 39th minute, pulling the teams level at the break.
NIGERIA: Enyeama, Afolabi, Odiah, Shittu, Yobo (Echijele, 45'), Uche, Etuhu, Yussuf, Kanu (Martins, 57'), Obasi, Yakubu (Obinna, 70')
SOUTH KOREA: Sung-Ryong, Jung-Soo, Yong-Hyung, Young-Pyo, Du-Ri, Sung-Yong (Jae-Sung), Ji-Sung, Jung-Woo, Ki-Hun (Nam-Il, 64'), Chung-Yong, Chu-Young.

Processed food
Whether it is water or highly viscous media that are to be handled in the mixing process Grundfos easily meets the requirements. Single-stage centrifugal pumps feed water to the mixing tank while the sanitary lobe pump gently handles the more viscous media encountered in processed food productions to preserve characteristic textures. If dosing is required, the lobe pump is capable of doing so in sanitary processes. In non-sanitary processes, separate dosing pumps are available for accurate dosing of e.g. brine and food ingredients.
Once the mixture is ready for cooking, temperature control becomes increasingly important. Grundfos' in-line centrifugal pumps are ideal for controlling the cooling and heating processes, making sure that the mass is efficiently heated to its specific level and subsequent cooled down, before moved along to the filling station. If pasteurisation is part of the process, sanitary stainless steel pumps are available to comply with the high hygienic requirements.
All Grundfos' sanitary pumps are CIP-compatible, allowing tanks, pipes and process lines to be efficiently cleaned without having to dismantle any equipment. In this way the production line is quickly prepared for the next batch, significantly reducing downtime.
If optimisation of the packing process is important, Grundfos offers advanced E-solutions that will automatically adjust the speed of the pumps on the production line to the speed of the packing process.
|Temperature control is essential in processed food productions.
|Grundfos offers pumps that will efficiently and accurately control the temperature throughout the cooking process.

Chicago Fire 2, Philadelphia Union 2 | MLS Match Recap
BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – Another game, another tie for the Chicago Fire. Juan Luis Ananganó was the unlikely hero as the hosts recovered from 2-1 down against the Philadelphia Union to record their fourth tie of the season in front of 12,699 at sun-drenched Toyota Park.
The Fire deservedly took the lead in the 16th minute when Mike Magee swept home left-footed from close range after Quincy Amarikwa had dispossessed Amobi Okugo on the left before keeping calm and squaring invitingly for the reigning MLS MVP.
That was no more than the hosts deserved after an industrious opening saw them dominate possession and pin the Union back time and time again, without ever seriously testing Zac MacMath in the Union goal.
The energetic Amarikwa was proving a handful and helped force two corners in quick succession around the 20th minute, following which Magee headed wide from a third when he should have done better.
Sean Johnson had looked pretty comfortable in the Fire net until the 32nd minute when the visitors struck for a fortuitous equalizer against the run of play. Vincent Nogueira picked up the ball outside the area and his right-footed drive was deflected by Jhon Kennedy Hurtado into the path of Maurice Edu, allowing the Union man the simplest of finishes past the Fire 'keeper.
Less than seven minutes later and the Union held a one-goal edge. Leonardo Fernandes' dangerous, left-footed in-swinging free-kick from the right evaded everyone in a crowded Fire area to give the Union a 2-1 lead at the break.
A lack-luster opening to the second half saw both sides create little in front of goal. Amarikwa almost leveled for Chicago on the hour when he nearly prodded Lovel Palmer's shot home, only for MacMath to deny him from point blank range.
Eight minutes later, Johnson breathed a huge sigh of relief when he delayed a clearance before striking the ball against Nogueira and gathering at the second attempt with the ball rebounding towards his unguarded net.
Anangonó played a pivotal role in the late equalizer, rising highest to head Magee's deep free kick past MacMath and into the back of the net with just four minutes remaining. The Fire could have won it at the death in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time, but Magee saw his penalty, and follow-up, saved by MacMath after Anangonó had been fouled in the area by Aaron Wheeler.
Both sides next take the field April 12. Chicago head to Montreal to battle the Impact while the Union head back home to host Real Salt Lake.
MLSsoccer.com Men of the Match
|What We Saw
|Mike Magee
|The Fire striker netted his first goal of the campaign and followed that by setting up Anangono for the equalizer late. Had he hit the PK, it would have been a perfect match.
|Aaron Wheeler
|Was a nuisance for the Fire strikers most the match. His penalty late nearly cost the Union a point.
|Quincy Amarikwa
|Set up Magee on the opening goal and was a consistent threat to the Union's back line.

Once again I was struck with the simplicity of the Haskell code necessary to implement such functionality (and I'm no Haskell expert yet). You think about how you going to implement it, the type checker tells you when you're doing something stupid, and by the time everything is written and compiles it kinda works.
The core method is calculating the output of the neuron, given the inputs, the weight of each input and the threshold value for that neuron:
neuronOutput :: [Float] -> [Float] -> Float -> Float
neuronOutput inputs weights threshold =
tot=(foldl (+) 0 (zipWith (*) inputs weights)) - threshold
if tot >= 0
then 1
else 0
Using zipWith we multiply each input with its weigth, calculate the sum with fold and remove the threshold. A negative result yields 0, else it yields 1.
Adjusting the weights to adapt to the error of a test case is no more difficult:
adjustWeights :: [Float] -> [Float] -> Float -> Float -> [Float]
adjustWeights inputs origWeights expected actual =
e=expected - actual
delta (i,w) = w + (defaultLearningRate * i * e)
map delta (zip inputs origWeights)
We modify the weight by applying to each weight a delta that is dependant on the input weight, the error ratio and the learning rat
A single step is made of calculating the output of the neuron and adapting the weights, given the expected value:
step :: [Float] -> [Float] -> Float -> [Float]
step inputs weights expected=
o = neuronOutput inputs weights defaultThreshold
adjustWeights inputs weights expected o
Then an epoch applies the step function to each different input sets. The hardest part is calculating the average of all deltas to find if the weights have changed at all during the evaluation of all the test cases
epoch :: [([Float],Float)] -> [Float] -> ([Float],Float)
epoch allInputs weights=
f w (inputs,expected) = step inputs w expected
newWeights=foldl f weights allInputs
delta= (foldl (+) 0 (map abs (zipWith (-) newWeights weights))) / (fromIntegral $ length weights)
in (newWeights,delta)
A training run is only launching the epoch function repeatedly till the delta is zero:
run :: [([Float],Float)] -> [Float] -> Int -> ([Float],Int)
run allInputs weights epochNb=
let (newWeights,delta) = epoch allInputs weights
in if delta == 0
(newWeights, epochNb)
run allInputs newWeights (epochNb+1)
We generate the initial weights in the IO monad, passing the number of weights needed:
initialWeights :: Int -> IO [Float]
initialWeights nb = do
let interval= randomR (-0.5,0.5)
(replicateM nb (getStdRandom interval))
Putting it all together:
test :: IO()
test = do
w<-initialWeights 2
let (ws,i)=run [([0,0],0),([0,1],0),([1,0],0),([1,1],1)] w 1
print (ws,i)
return ()
test find out the proper weights to implement AND and print them out, with the number of epochs needed to reach the result. You can then call neuronOutput with the resulting weights and your input: you have a AND logical gate!
As usual, any pointer to how to improve the code is welcome!

RICHMOND, Va. – It appears that Robyn Hobson's enthusiasm is matched only by her confidence, which is why when she says she wants to change the world, it's okay to believe the VCU senior has the chops to do it.
That doesn't mean that the road to a better world is an expressway. Sometimes the storm washes out the bridge, as Hobson learned recently. Sometimes you need to row across the river.
Last summer, Hobson, a four-year letterwinner for the VCU Women's Basketball team who will graduate in May with a degree in Elementary Education, decided to put together her own girls' basketball camp in her transplanted hometown of Charlotte, N.C. Hobson's mother helped her organize the three-day camp for 15 girls ages 6-12 at a local gym.
"I just felt like I really wanted to give back," Hobson, 21, said. "I felt like Charlotte didn't really have a girls' basketball program. I felt like it was a great opportunity to test it out and see how it went, and it went great.
But it didn't start great. Hobson, aided by her younger brother and one of his high school teammates, meticulously plotted the first day's events. Things did not go as planned.
"The first day, I almost had a breakdown," Hobson says with a laugh. "I had these whole schedules, laminated. I could've just thrown them in the trash."

Lula again: high in populism and scandals
Lula is one of the founders of the Workers' Party (PT), a populist Socialist party. One of the first measures of his past administration was to support Hugo Chavez in his political crisis in
The past
His popularity remained solid before the October elections. A strong message defending the poor and a government program giving basic food to them have rendered him sympathy from the poor and those who care for them. Such message drew many evangelical followers too. In fact, many denominations approached Lula since the
Jackson is not the only responsible for the political "marriage" of evangelicals to Lula. Rev. Caio Fábio and Bishop Carlos Rodrigues, one of the founders of the Kingdom of God Universal Church, were instrumental in the past effort — prior to
Like Jackson, Ramos is a known Black activist. In
In situations where there is no favoritism for him, Lula bestows privileges on strong electoral groups. One of the largest Assemblies of God denominations in Brazil decided to side with Lula after their president, Bishop Manoel Ferreira, was promised a government office on September
In the first Lula administration, Pastor Nilson Fanini, former president of the World Baptist Alliance, had also been granted a similar office. He eventually got involved in serious financial scandals, which left him stranded from the large church he had served for decades.
The Reborn in
Evangelical leaders allied to Lula have wasted their opportunities to offer spiritual hope to a man in desperate need. Some time ago, he took part in a witchcraft ritual in
It is notorious, at least in
Because political, administrative and criminal scandals have been besetting the Lula administration, there is a terrible paradoxical apathy plaguing the feelings of the Brazilian population regarding politicians. Because of the crimes of some, virtually all politicians are perceived as corrupt. So it seems that Brazilian electors did lose their ability to care whether their chosen candidate is ethically reliable or not. They eventually vote for the same individuals that are responsible for the political discontentment of the Brazilian population. Thus, in spite of the many scandals involving many members of the Lula party, nearly all of them were reelected on the October polls. Yet, this apathy has produced strange results among evangelical electors: because of some scandals among some evangelical parliamentarians, most of the Evangelical Parliamentarian Front members did not get reelected. From its
In addition, the crisis in the Evangelical Parliamentarian Front (EPF) will be a great advantage for the new PT administration because Adelor Vieira was not re-elected. The new person expected to occupy his place in the EPF presidency is Walter Pinheiro, a Baptist from the PT party, or Bishop Robson Rodovalho, an open Lula-supporter since
For his new administration, Lula will need other means to get his bills approved in the Congress.
Like his Venezuelan friend, Lula had recently made known that, if re-elected, his intention is to modify the Brazilian constitution. Now that he is president again, it remains to be seen what he will actually do to the Constitution and
The Brazilian horizon may be threatening storms ahead. Just less than one day before the October

WELCOME TO the Tuesday blog. Tuesdays mean Steve Collett, focussing mainly on match fishing but also delving into his styles of pleasure fishing and specialist angling.
We hope you enjoy the blog, and share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter by clicking the icons above, or by the "old skool" method of telling fellow anglers! Feel free also to comment by using the special space at the bottom on this page.
Lessons learned during practice week
Fish? What fish ?
Well everyone feared the worst after the first day. The girls were allocated quite a good zone, but as feared there was no fish to be caught, in fact a fish, just one fish seemed pretty good on the day, and unfortunately the fishing was to get worse, with some teams struggling to catch a fish.
Day 1
Day 2
A dream come true
One great story that came out of the week was the medal position of Robbie Liebenberg's South African team, having flew more than 6,000 miles, and come on leaps and bounds over the past few years, it really made my week to see them medal.

Mark Miller inspired me a second time this week, with his Spicy Pacific Tartares.
Spicy Pacific Tartares - Ahi Tuna with Serrano-Cilantro Mayonnaise & Salmon with Smoked Chiles
From Mark Miller's Indian Market Cookbook, Recipes from Santa Fe's Famous Coyote Cafe
Tartare is a preparation of finely chopped raw meat or fish, optionally with seasonings and sauces. This recipe is prepared with 8 oz. fresh Ahi tuna and 8 oz. fresh salmon. The fish used must be extremely fresh and of the highest sashimi-quality. I found this beautiful Ahi and Salmon from the sushi chef at Bristol Farms.
It is also extremely important to keep the fish chilled. Mark recommends chilling your plastic chopping board prior to mincing the fish and then storing the Ahi and salmon, separately, in stainless steel bowls set over ice and water.
There are only a few ingredients for the Serrano-Cilantro and Smoked Chile Mayos...
Making preparation fairly simple.
For the Serrano-Cilantro Mayonnaise:
Roast 10 serrano chiles on a wire rack over a gas flame. Blister and blacken the skins evenly and then transfer to a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the chiles to steam for 15 minutes. Scrape off all the skin from the chiles and cut off the stems, but keep the chiles whole with their seeds. Make sure the chiles are completely cooled before preparing the mayonnaise.
Transfer chiles to a blender and add: 1 egg, plus one egg yolk; 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice; 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves; and 1/2 tablespoon salt. Puree until smooth. With the blender running, add 1.5 cups peanut oil, in a slow, steady stream, until completely absorbed and thick. Transfer to a bowl and keep chilled.
Similarly, for the Smoked Chile Mayonnaise:
Place the following ingredients in the blender: 1 egg, plus one egg yolk; 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice; 1/4 cup chipotle chile puree, and 1 clove garlic. Puree until smooth. With the blender running, add 1,5 cups peanut oil, in a slow, steady stream, until completely absorbed and thick. Transfer to a bowl and keep chilled.
The tartares are prepared by adding 1/4 cup of the Serrano-Cilantro Mayonnaise to the minced Ahi tuna, mixing well to combine, and 1/4 cup of the Smoked Chile Mayonnaise to the minced salmon, mixing well to combine. Again, be sure to keep the tartares well-chilled until serving.
The tartares are supposed to be served with toasted brioche. In my Martha Stewart's Hors d' Oeuvres Handbook, Martha cuts brioche rounds from 3/4 inch slices of bread with a 1.5 inch round cookie cutter, and then sautes the rounds in a little butter over medium heat. I was unable to find a loaf of brioche, and settled on the last 4 brioche rolls from the bakery counter. I sliced each roll into 3/4 inch thick slices, and did my best to cut out the little rounds (obviously, I recommend finding a loaf of brioche, or similar bread, rather than rolls, for ease of cutting and higher yield of rounds). You can also serve the tartares with crackers, such as Table Water Crackers.
These were fancy brioche rolls, but I was also able to manage one round from each nipple!
As I was sauteing the rounds, they reminded me of seared scallops and that's how I came up with my plating idea.
We have a collection of scallop shells for plating hors d'oeuvres, and they were perfect for my vision
In addition to my Spicy Pacific Tartares, our socks were knocked off by the following incredible dishes:
John's Cinnamon-Grilled Chicken with Spinach Couscous and Harissa Sauce
Kai's Thai Beef Lettuce Wraps
Kai's Stuffed Jalapenos...watch out for that habanero!
Grilled Flank Steak with Chile Sauce, courtesy of Alec & Nina
Brad's version of Crunchy Jicama and Mango Salad with Chile and Lime, heightened by sauteed jalapenos and prosciutto.
Although I wasn't able to photograph everything, some of the other chile-inspired creations included: Pam's Spinach Salad with Chile Pepper Dressing; Jim's Margaritas, with a float of Jalapeno Syrup; Alec & Nina's Chile-Lime Butter with Crusty Bread; Chili served over Jalapeno Corn Bread; and Shrimp Salad. Thank you, everyone, for sharing your Sunday and all your wonderful food!
We're all looking forward to next weekend and Coronado's Fourth of July festivities. We'll meet again for Concert in the Park on the 5th, with Challenge All-American Fare - God Bless America!

I know what you are thinking "Oh my, it's that time again, Karlsson insist that data should get out of some other database and into MariaDB. What is he up to this time?" and that is exactly right, this time data is coming out of SQL Server, out of that expensive, closed source, Windows-only software and into the lightweight, fast and cost effective MariaDB.
I have already shown how this works when getting data out of Oracle in releasing MyOraDump, so inline with that the corresponding program to get data out of SQL Server is called MyMSSQLDump and it has features along same same lines as MyOraDump. To connect to SQL Server (or Sybase, but this I haven't tested) I use FreeTDS, which is a nice Open Source SQL Server / Sybase driver. The output formats supported are MySQL (i.e. A file with (INSERT INTO...), MSSQL (same as MySQL format but aligned for MSSQL), JSON, JSON Array (similar to JSON but all data in one array) and CSV. All formats are very flexible and the common SQL Server / Sybase datatypes are supported.
As usual, the code is written in C and use autotools for building. I have only tested building it on CentOS (6 and 7) so far, but there is nothing magic to it so it should work on other platforms too. Download it from sourceforge.
Happy SQL'ing

Since I was living in Alexandria, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington, I had no intention of missing anything. But, there was a problem. Too many people, and the Metro hadn't opened yet in my area. Fortunately, my first cousin, lived two blocks away from the Capitol, invited me to spend two nights with her. How wonderful for me and we spent the entire time together sharing all the great and free activities together. We saw the long parade, went to a concert or two and had a superb location to watch the fireworks, from the Capitol, I think we had passes, because she worked for a Texas politician, and I don't remember fighting for a spot. And when it was all over on the 4th, we were back at her place within minutes.
My photos aren't the best, actually among my worst, but I thought I would share them. Happy 4th to everybody.

Swamp flowers are blooming.
Filled up two tubs for potatoes to be planted tomorrow. Got my first tray of wheat grass for the hens....they take about a week to get to this point so I just started next weeks treat. I got enough seed thanks to Russell the knife maker to keep the girls in weekly wheat grass for at least a year.
The new/free compost bin I got from my friend Suze in Alpine is cooking away nicely. Got it half filled with cow and horse manure, new hay and old hay, daily chicken manure, and scraps from the greenhouse - keeping it moist. Only 3 days and it's already starting to smell like dirt. It's gonna have to start cooking at 135° to really do the job. Really easy to roll around to turn the pile. http://shapeproducts.com/index.php/products/bio-orb-composters Just got my charge controller for a new battery bank by the greenhouse (Xantrex C-40)...I have another C-40 and a C-60 that have been running consistantly for 4 years now. 79,87,48,0,B,0
