Intracranial cerebral atherosclerosis causes ischemic stroke in a significant number of patients. Technological advances over the past 10 years have enabled endovascular treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis. The number of patients treated with angioplasty or stent-assisted angioplasty for this condition is increasing. Given the lack of universally accepted definitions, the goal of this document is to provide consensus recommendations for reporting standards, terminology, and written definitions when reporting clinical and radiological evaluation, technique, and outcome of endovascular treatment using angioplasty or stent-assisted angioplasty for stenotic and occlusive intracranial atherosclerosis. This article was written under the auspices of Joint Writing Group of the Technology Assessment Committee, Society of Neurolnterventional Surgery, Society of Interventional Radiology; Joint Section on Cerebro-vascular Neurosurgery of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and Congress of Neurological Surgeons; and the Section of Stroke and Interventional Neurology of the American Academy of Neurology. A computerized search of the National Library of Medicine database of literature (PubMed) from January 1997 to December 2007 was conducted with the goal to identify published endovascular cerebrovascular interventional data in stenotic intracranial atherosclerosis that could be used as benchmarks for quality assessment. We sought to identify those risk adjustment variables that affect the likelihood of success and complications. This document offers the rationale for different clinical and technical considerations that may be important during the design of clinical trials for endovascular treatment of intracranial stenotic and occlusive atherosclerosis. Included in this guidance document are suggestions for uniform reporting standards for such trials. These definitions and standards are primarily intended for research purposes; however, they should also be helpful in clinical practice and applicable to all publications. In summary, the definitions proposed represent recommendations for constructing useful research data sets. The intent is to facilitate production of scientifically rigorous results capable of reliable comparisons between and among similar studies. In some cases, the definitions contained here are recommended by consensus of a panel of experts in this writing group for consistency in reporting and publication. These definitions should allow different groups to publish results that are directly comparable.

Why a Union-Friendly Economic Agenda Can Help Rebuild America's MiddleClass
By Beth English — The Huffington Post
Why a Union-Friendly Economic Agenda Can Help Rebuild America's Middle Class
As America's economic recovery continues at a snail's pace, the fiscal cliff looms, and officials elected to office in November prepare to take office next month, protecting the rights of working people to organize and maintain their unions should be a focal point in the crafting of a broader domestic economic agenda. And with the New Year upon us, it affords us the chance to look back and see how our economic past impacts our future.
In the wake of the passage of Michigan's right-to-work-law, we have witnessed much handwringing on the left and back-slapping on the right that this decidedly blue state and bulwark of the American labor movement became the 24th state in the country to enact such legislation. The immediate and long-term consequences of the Michigan law remain to be seen, but few doubt that it will erode the influence of organized labor there, and possibly nationwide.
But importantly, our own history provides ample evidence that law and public policies such as these that effectively amount to a race-to-the-bottom for America's workers impede the growth of a robust middle-class, threatening the United States' economic health and the ongoing recovery.
While campaigning for president in 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt called for economic planning that would "build from the bottom up and not from the top down." Addressing a nation reeling from the Great Depression, he acknowledged the government couldn't spend its way out that crisis. Yet FDR eschewed policies where relief came only to those at the "top of the social and economic structure" -- sound familiar? -- and instead proposed permanent relief to those on the lower economic rungs of society.
With the passage of the landmark National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) in 1935, three years after FDR's call to build from the bottom up and simultaneous with grassroots union organizing, labor unions became one of the most important vehicles for boosting wages and living standards for millions of U.S. workers, and for helping to create and sustain a robust middle class after World War II.
Now, what was lost in the news coverage post-Michigan is that historically the organization of workplaces often created a ripple effect throughout American industry. That is, management of unorganized factories often met the wages and benefits of the union shops as a way to undercut the incentives for their employees to unionize. The result in many industries was a rise in standards of living and workplace conditions across the board, and the creation of a "blue collar" middle class.
Maintenance-of-membership provisions in collective bargaining contracts negotiated during the war years were important tools in solidifying union gains, contributing to this economic stability realized by many industrial workers in the post-war era. These maintenance-of-membership provisions inserted into union contracts meant that newly-hired workers, in most cases following a period in which they could opt-out, would automatically become union members. These workers agreed to remain in good standing with the union through the payment of dues and abide by the union's regulations through the duration of the contract in return for representation by the union and the wages, workplace protections, and benefits the contract afforded.
When World War II ended, maintenance-of-membership provisions proved to be a protection from union-busting that had previously withered the gains of organized labor. Though these provisions helped fuel the expansion of the ranks of organized labor resulting in a peak unionization rate of over 35 percent in the mid-1950s, they have since been increasingly undermined by the passage of right-to-work legislation, by which states as early as the late 1940s began to outlaw such provisions.
And so by the 1970s, growing foreign competition, the outsourcing of jobs, and deindustrialization across broad swaths of manufacturing in the U.S. ushered in an era in which unorganized workplaces set industry standards, concessionary bargaining became the unfortunate norm, and legislative agendas reflected a union-hostile climate.
Union membership has continued to decline -- last year the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 2010 membership to be at an over 70-year low of 11.9 percent, with only 6.9 percent of private sector workers represented by a union. Simultaneously, enforcement of workplace protections for employees seeking to organize unions has eroded.
Illegal corporate behavior toward pro-union workers, such as on-the-job harassment or firings, often goes unchecked (For recent examples, as well as some of the latest encouraging decisions from the National Labor Relations Board, visit the NLRB's 2012 news release archive.) Employees seeking to organize and secure union contracts in their workplaces -- especially in the low-wage service sector, where unions have struggled to make substantial gains but where jobs are often difficult or impossible to outsource -- find themselves in a decidedly uphill battle.
If history is any guide, it would well serve government officials at the local, state, and national levels to consider the role unions have historically played in building a middle class from the bottom up -- as well as the importance of the relationship between worker mobilization and government action in this process.
Looking back, Section7(a) of the New Deal's 1933 National Industrial Recovery Act recognized the right of workers to bargain collectively and helped spur grassroots organizing throughout the nation. Subsequent labor militancy underpinned the eventual passage and implementation of NLRA which enshrined the right to organize and collectively bargain in federal law.
Now, as then, workers must themselves undertake the task of organizing. But now, as then, government has an important role to play to grow and sustain the middle class as workers seek to form and maintain unions, negotiate union contracts, and thereby secure higher wages, improved workplace and safety standards, protections for basic rights, and benefits from their employers.
When crafting economic policies to revitalize the nation's middle class, policymakers must recognize that the best workplace standards are inexorably tied to the worst that exist, and rather than enacting legislation that undercuts the ability of workers to collectively bargain, take meaningful steps to bolster the ability of workers -- and the nation -- to avoid a slippery slope to the bottom.

Capitalist Communes and the New Work-Life Balance
Almost every generation has sought to reorganize the workplace, from union demands for a 40-hour workweek in the late 1930s to the introduction of cubicles in the 1960's to foosball tables and flexible work hours in the early 2000s. Today, Millennials, the largest generation in the American workforce, are once again outgrowing the traditional office and blurring the lines between home and work.
Future Workplace found that 91 percent of Millennials workers expect to stay at a single job for no more than three years, and more than 54 million are doing freelance work. An increasing number of young workers prefer environments that merge the personal with the professional; that are flexible, collaborative, and communal. And those desires have spawned a new market for co-working spaces.
WeWork, an office rental and communal workspace company that launched in 2010, is the undeniable leader in co-working. Their business model is simple: the company rents office space from landlords at wholesale prices, breaks that space down into smaller working units, and subleases it to members at a profit. With 91 locations and over 50,000 members across the globe, the company was recently valued at a whopping $16 billion.
The company's genius lies in turning the workplace itself into a service. By breaking up pricing into various packages, WeWork allows its members to curate their work experience based on their specific needs – the more they pay, the more conveniences they get, with the so-called perks ranging from personal office space to a kitchen to storage options. For many freelancers and entrepreneurs, having access to affordable office space is understandably more appealing than taking conference calls from a coffee shop or even a home office.
But in an always-on, 24-hour connected world, employees are seeing a diminishing divide between work life and home life. Sixty-two percent of Millennials today demonstrate a keen interest in living and working in urban areas, according to a Nielsen study. Two-thirds of them are renters, who are more likely to live with other people than alone. Seeing a pattern emerge, WeWork extended its creative approach with co-working and applied it to co-living.
The company's foray into communal-style living came through a venture called WeLive, a dormitory-type living format which accommodates multiple people who share space and resources, in addition to participating in community activities. Across the board, co-living startups offer different solutions to urban housing problems for young employees. Many charge rent on a month-by-month basis, without requiring things like proof of a steady annual income or access to a guarantor, which can be prohibitive for freelancers and newcomers to cities.
Common, General Assembly cofounder Brad Hargreave's new co-living startup, partners with real estate companies that buy the buildings they use, which saves money on rent and allows more control over the space. Pure House, based in Brooklyn, on the other hand, casts itself as a community for "social entrepreneurs, digital nomads, artists, and designers."
As for WeLive: the company moved 45 of its members and employees into its first co-living property in New York this past January. Each resident gets a personal room and shares facilities such as bathrooms, kitchens, and living spaces. They also receive access to community events including fitness classes, potluck dinners, services such as cleaning and laundry, and a digital social network controlled and coordinated through the WeWork app.
Admittedly, the idea sounds a little wild – trading privacy and space for flexible leases and neighbors with similar goals and dreams seems to embody a kind of idealism that hearkens back to the communes of the 1960s, albeit with a significantly more capitalist bent. But then again, in an economy where people are choosing Uber or Lyft instead of buying cars, why not share offices and living space, or both? "We happen to need buildings just like Uber happens to need cars, just like Airbnb happens to need apartments," WeWork cofounder Adam Neumann explains.
As more workers operate on a freelance basis and more young people flock to cities where space comes at a premium, accommodating them and their price points starts to feel less like idealism and more like fulfilling the needs of a hitherto underserved – and one might even say unrecognized – market.

It seems as though this summer's weather pattern always returns to muggy and high humidity conditions which isn't entirely unusual for the Saugatuck area of west Michigan in the summer months. But with the usual effects of Lake Michigan, we generally see more mild temperatures with low humidity in the summer months. Could this unusually warm and muggy pattern mean a warmer and more mild winter for us as well? Stay tuned, as anything is possible in this part of Michigan.

Q: Haskell: Lists, Arrays, Vectors, Sequences I'm learning Haskell and read a couple of articles regarding performance differences of Haskell lists and (insert your language)'s arrays.
Being a learner I obviously just use lists without even thinking about performance difference.
I recently started investigating and found numerous data structure libraries available in Haskell.
Can someone please explain the difference between Lists, Arrays, Vectors, Sequences without going very deep in computer science theory of data structures?
Also, are there  some common patterns where you would use one data structure instead of another?
Are there any other forms of data structures that I am missing and might be useful?

A: Lists Rock
By far the most friendly data structure for sequential data in Haskell is the List
 data [a] = a:[a] | []

Lists give you ϴ(1) cons and pattern matching.  The standard library, and for that matter the prelude, is full of useful list functions that should litter your code (foldr,map,filter).  Lists are persistant , aka purely functional, which is very nice.  Haskell lists aren't really "lists" because they are coinductive (other languages call these streams) so things like
ones :: [Integer]
ones = 1:ones

twos = map (+1) ones

tenTwos = take 10 twos

work wonderfully.  Infinite data structures rock.
Lists in Haskell provide an interface much like iterators in imperative languages (because of laziness).  So, it makes sense that they are widely used.
On the other hand
The first problem with lists is that to index into them (!!) takes ϴ(k) time, which is annoying. Also, appends can be slow ++, but Haskell's lazy evaluation model means that these can be treated as fully amortized, if they happen at all.
The second problem with lists is that they have poor data locality.  Real processors incur high constants when objects in memory are not laid out next to each other.  So, in C++ std::vector has faster "snoc" (putting objects at the end) than any pure linked list data structure I know of, although this is not a persistant data structure so less friendly than Haskell's lists.
The third problem with lists is that they have poor space efficiency.  Bunches of extra pointers push up your storage (by a constant factor).
Sequences Are Functional
Data.Sequence is internally based on finger trees (I know, you don't want to know this) which means that they have some nice properties

*

*Purely functional.  Data.Sequence is a fully persistant data structure.

*Darn fast access to the beginning and end of the tree.  ϴ(1) (amortized) to get the first or last element, or to append trees.  At the thing lists are fastest at, Data.Sequence is at most a constant slower.

*ϴ(log n) access to the middle of the sequence.  This includes inserting values to make new sequences

*High quality API

On the other hand, Data.Sequence doesn't do much for the data locality problem, and only works for finite collections (it is less lazy than lists)
Arrays are not for the faint of heart
Arrays are one of the most important data structures in CS, but they dont fit very well with the lazy pure functional world.  Arrays provide ϴ(1) access to the middle of the collection and exceptionally good data locality/constant factors.  But, since they dont fit very well into Haskell, they are a pain to use.  There are actually a multitude of different array types in the current standard library.  These include fully persistant arrays, mutable arrays for the IO monad, mutable arrays for the ST monad, and un-boxed versions of the above.   For more check out the haskell wiki
Vector is a "better" Array
The Data.Vector package provides all of the array goodness, in a higher level and cleaner API. Unless you really know what you are doing, you should use these if you need array like performance.  Of-course, some caveats still apply--mutable array like data structures just dont play nice in pure lazy languages.  Still, sometimes you want that O(1) performance, and  Data.Vector gives it to you in a useable package.
You have other options
If you just want lists with the ability to efficiently insert at the end, you can use a difference list.  The best example of lists screwing up performance tends to come from [Char] which the prelude has aliased as String.  Char lists are convient, but tend to run on the order of 20 times slower than C strings, so feel free to use Data.Text or the very fast Data.ByteString.  I'm sure there are other sequence oriented libraries I'm not thinking of right now.
Conclusion
90+% of the time I need a sequential collection in Haskell lists are the right data structure.  Lists are like iterators, functions that consume lists can easily be used with any of these other data structures using the toList functions they come with.  In a better world the prelude would be fully parametric as to what container type it uses, but currently  [] litters the standard library.  So, using lists (almost) every where is definitely okay.
You can get fully parametric versions of most of the list functions (and are noble to use them)
Prelude.map                --->  Prelude.fmap (works for every Functor)
Prelude.foldr/foldl/etc    --->  Data.Foldable.foldr/foldl/etc
Prelude.sequence           --->  Data.Traversable.sequence
etc

In fact, Data.Traversable defines an API that is more or less universal across any thing "list like".
Still, although you can be good and write only fully parametric code, most of us are not and use list all over the place.  If you are learning, I strongly suggest you do too.

EDIT: Based on comments I realize I never explained when to use Data.Vector vs Data.Sequence.  Arrays and Vectors provide extremely fast indexing and slicing operations, but are fundamentally transient (imperative) data structures.  Pure functional data structures like Data.Sequence and [] let efficiently produce new values from old values as if you had modified the old values.
  newList oldList = 7 : drop 5 oldList

doesn't modify old list, and it doesn't have to copy it.  So even if oldList is incredibly long, this "modification" will be very fast.  Similarly
  newSequence newValue oldSequence = Sequence.update 3000 newValue oldSequence

will produce a new sequence with a newValue for in the place of its 3000 element.  Again, it doesn't destroy the old sequence, it just creates a new one.  But, it does this very efficiently, taking O(log(min(k,k-n)) where n is the length of the sequence, and k is the index you modify.
You cant easily do this with Vectors and Arrays.  They can be modified but that is real imperative modification, and so cant be done in regular Haskell code.  That means operations in the Vector package that make modifications like snoc and cons have to copy the entire vector so take O(n) time.  The only exception to this is that you can use the mutable version (Vector.Mutable) inside the ST monad (or IO) and do all your modifications just like you would in an imperative language.  When you are done, you "freeze" your vector to turn in into the immutable structure you want to use with pure code.
My feeling is that you should default to using Data.Sequence if a list is not appropriate. Use Data.Vector only if your usage pattern doesn't involve making many modifications, or if you need extremely high performance within the ST/IO monads.
If all this talk of the ST monad is leaving you confused: all the more reason to stick to pure fast and beautiful Data.Sequence.

WASHINGTON, DC- The US Navy has acknowledged that its longstanding operations in Haifa may change once a Chinese firm takes over the civilian port in 2021, prompting Israel's national security cabinet to revisit the arrangement, according to a report by The Jerusalem Post .
Haifa, Israel's largest port city, regularly hosts joint US-Israeli naval drills and visits from American vessels. But a 2015 agreement between Israel's Transportation Ministry and Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG) – a company in which the Chinese government has a majority stake – has raised intelligence and security concerns that are only now prompting an interagency review.
Sources familiar with the issue said that due to concerns that US defense officials privately shared with their Israeli counterparts, the Israeli government has launched "a review of the agreement at a high level," specifically among members of the inner cabinet.
"You don't want a decision that was made ostensibly for business reasons to have an impact on Israel's relationship with the American navy," a source said.


My son asked me over the summer if we could run a 5K together. He's run kid races (like 1Ks and stuff), but never a 5K. I was not worried about him not having formal training since he is constantly moving, running and jumping around. The Captain Jack's Treasure Run seemed to be the perfect race to do with my active 8-year-old.
Another reason I chose this race is for the later start time—a lovely 10 a.m. I know some of you parents drew the short straw and have kids that wake before the sun, but my kid sleeps in to a reasonable time. Getting him up early is actually chore. So, we rose at a normal time, put on our pirate costumes (my son wore his old Disney Captain Hook Halloween costume here) and headed out for the race, which is about 45 minutes from our house.
Parking was free and not too far from the venue—Red Hook Brewery—so we found a spot and walked to pick up our race bibs. It was a little chilly in the upper 40s/low 50s, so I wished I'd thought to bring warm jackets for before the race. Mom fail. But, hey, it's all part of the experience, right? I'm usually standing around freezing before races, so my son was getting to see what the real deal is.
After we got our bibs, we jogged back to the car and warmed up. Along with the bibs, we got awesome race shirts, which I ended up wearing (wish they had a kids size, though, for my son) tattoos, stickers and eye patches.
Back at the pre-race festivities, pirates wandered around handing out treasure (free toys for kids), and a lively crew put on a fun and funny warm up that my son enjoyed and made me participate in.
Us with a random pirate.
The start area was a little narrow, I thought, but they started us in waves based on how fast we thought we'd run and so it didn't up being that bad. Also, the race was small enough that it wasn't that much of a factor. A pirate had an old pistol to shoot for the start, which was fun, but a little scary. It wouldn't work and then, blammo! I thought he was gonna blow the man down for a sec.
But everyone was safe and running. We started in the back of our pack, so we had a slow start. Also, my son's feet were cold and hurt with each step, so it took us a little bit to get warmed up. The course was nice and flat and paved if just a little narrow (simply a normal biking path). This would actually be a total PR course as long as you start in the front. Starting in the back will make it tough to get around people. The scenery was really pretty with the river and the valley's green grass and fall foliage, and everyone was in good spirits (which is totally fitting since it's at a brewery).
My son did the typical kid thing—sprint, then walk, sprint, then walk. And it worked for him. I gave him advice about running races, such as look before you pass someone since a runner might be coming up behind you, and don't just stop running right in front of people, pull off to the side (that is my biggest pet peeve about races). He also ran the entire race with an eye patch on.
Toward the end of the race, he started to run more steadily. His pace was much quicker than I thought he could do for that long. Proud mom. He enjoyed racing a young girl maybe a year or two older than him for about a quarter mile till she gave in and walked. That made me laugh inside because I would've been that girl (No stinky boy is gonna beat me!). With the finish in sight, I asked, "Do you want to hold hands over the finish line or…" I didn't get it all out because he took off in a sprint to beat me.
I mentioned the free photos, right? Love this one!
I had to run fast to catch up because I wanted to see my son get his medal. He looked so proud of himself. We then got some water and a banana. Another fun thing this race had was a treasure box. We lined up and then my son chose from three doors to reach into. He got an awesome Brooks trucker hat with a skull and cross bones that I immediately stole.
My son's prize that I wear now.
I loved this race and plan to do it again next year with my son and maybe even my husband because he started running last month. If you're interested in signing up for the race on Oct. 29, 2017, don't forget to use my code MOMVSMARATHON to save 10% on your entry. The earlier you sign up, the cheaper it is. Right now it's only $30 for the 5K and $35 for the 8K. So worth it for all the free stuff you get, from swag to photos, and don't forget the free beer ticket thanks to Red Hook!
Avast! Read my disclaimer: As an Orca Running Ambassador, I had free entry into this race. I'm not good at lying (clearly not a real pirate), however, so all my opinions are honest and truthful.

BT MindRush 2013: Narayana Murthy says no violation of corporate governance in inducting Rohan
In earlier years, Murthy had time and again reiterated that none of the founders' children would work at Infosys. Yet Rohan joined Infosys in June this year as Murthy's executive assistant.
Goutam Das
Updated Dec 27, 2013, 2:01 PM IST
Infosys Chairman NR Narayana Murthy and India Today Group Chairman and Editor-in-Chief Aroon Purie at BT MindRush 2013.
NR Narayana Murthy, chairman, Infosys on Friday defended his son Rohan Murty's entry into the company he co-founded in the 1980s, saying there had been no violation of corporate governance rules or values he always espoused in inducting him.
Murthy was the first speaker, after Editor-in-Chief Aroon Purie, at Business Today's MindRush, a two day ideas conclave being held at The Oberoi, Gurgaon, which started on Friday (December 13).
Why did Murthy bend the rules?
In a conversation with India Today Chairman and Editor-In-Chief Aroon Purie at the end of his speech, Murthy made two points to emphasise that there had been no violation of ethics or principles on his part. For one, he pointed out, Rohan Murty had academic meritocracy.
"My son has done a high quality PhD in computer science. On the issue of meritocracy, there is nobody as qualified as Rohan in the company," he said.
Rohan Murty was a Junior Fellow in the Society of Fellows at Harvard and his research interests included networked systems, embedded computing, and distributed computing systems. He was previously a Computing Innovations Fellow at MIT.
"Corporate governance is all about deriving benefits. Rohan will take a salary of one rupee. I do not think that there was any issue of violation of corporate governance," Murthy said.
Narayana Murthy, whose role in building not only Infosys but also the Indian IT industry, is considerable added that his return to Infosys, bringing his son along with him was a special case. When he retired in 2011, he had never imagined he would have to come back to rescue the company. Over the last two years, Infosys went on a downward spiral, growing far slower than its peers. In the IT industry's pecking order, Infosys lost its No. 2 crown to Cognizant.
"My coming back was at the request of the board. After the board of directors and the executive management spent more than a month talking to me, I had a discussion with my wife and children. They said Infosys was my middle child. If one child needs attention, would you not go?" Murthy added.
Perhaps Murthy needed to spend more time with his children after having given them relatively little attention for many years because he was building the company. Rohan's entry into Infosys now allows Murthy to spend time with him without violating any rules.

Declan O'Rourke, är en irländsk singer-songwriter, född  1976,  i Dublinförorten Ballyfermot.

Biografi
O'Rourke tillbringade sin tidiga barndom i Dublin, men han lämnade Irland vid tio års ålder, då han och hans familj flyttade till den lilla staden Kyabram i Victoria i Australien. Det var där han lärde sig att spela gitarr och började få upp ögonen för traditionell irländsk musik, Motownlåtar mm
. Han försörjde  sig även som snickare i familjens byggnadsfirma.

När  O'Rourke, år 2000, återvände till Irland började han framföra sin musik live. Under ett par års tid ingick han även i vännen och kollegan Paddy Caseys band. År 2004 bröt han dock med denne och gick sin egen väg. Detta ledde till att det lilla indiebolaget N4 Records kunde ge ut O'Rourkes debutalbum Since Kyabram.

Skivan innehöll den finstämda balladen "Galileo (Someone Like You)" som blivit flitigt spelad i irländsk radio.  Låten har av Paul Weller, i musiktidningen Q Magazine, beskrivits som den sång han önskade att han hade skrivit de senaste 20 åren.
Med ett storsäljande album i ryggen fick O'Rourke  kontrakt med bolaget V2 Records som år 2006 distribuerade Since Kyabram internationellt. De har sedan dess givit ut hans musik.

Inspelningar av andra artister
"Galileo" har spelats in av  Josh Groban. Den är med på hans femte studioalbum Illuminations från år 2010. Även svenske Peter Jöback har spelat in en sång av O'Rourke. "(I Can See) A Little Something" på albumet East Side Stories från år 2009.

Q: Where to find the .bak file after RDS native backup So I followed the AWS documentation to perform a native RDS backup using MS-SQL Server. My goal is to be able to download the .bak file.
The config seems to be correct, and I was able to execute the backup stored procedure:

And I created the the option group and have the S3 bucket linked to it.

But when I went to the S3 bucket, the .bak file is not there, even the stored procedure is performed successfully.

A: Try using the rds_task_status stored procedure to see if any errors occurred during native backup - exec msdb.dbo.rds_task_status @db_name='aa144bgo6mn8srl'. This will produce a table of sync statuses.
Do you see a lifecycle of Completed when you run this query?


YMCA of the USA Competitive Swimming and Diving Fo: YMCA Level 1 Official - be a starter?
Topic: YMCA Level 1 Official - be a starter?
To be a Starter, an official must be certified as a level II official. To perform the duties of a Starter at any officially sanctioned YMCA meet an official must hold the Level II certification.
Thank you for the response. Then how does this apply to dual meets?
The rule applies in the same manner, no matter what the meet. Generally, Level I officials are our newer officials and do not have the requisite exerience to act as a Starter or Referee. If the host team does not have any Level II officials for a dual meet and the visiting team does, then the visiting team's Level II officials should be used in the roles of Starter and Referee.

It's been a long winter, but this week we're back! We're featuring Tonight Alive, who recently released their newest album Underworld. The band has expanded on their pop-punk beginnings, and feel like a truly fully realized act. Their song "My Underworld" also features vocals by none other than Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor, who offers a great balancing energy to singer Jenna McDougall.
We're also bringing the newest track from Judas Priest, "Lightning Strike." It's one of the best songs the band has released in years, a total assault of metal and energy, with each member of the group not showing their age in the least. Rob Halford's vocals sound as dominant as ever.
The playlist also packs recent singles like A Perfect Circle's moody and atmospheric "Disillusioned" and Machine Head's newly released "Bastards." It's already been a great new year of music, ranging from the metallic edge bands like Cane Hill bring to the forefront to the fun bounce of Turnstile.
This week also marked the release date of a variety of great records, including Avatar's Avatar Country, Black Veil Brides' Vale, and Joe Satriani's guitar epic What Happens Next. It's been a good week for hard rock and metal, and there's plenty to dig into.

Barriers to a Ph.D. Not Faced by Most Students
By Alan Kotok 16 November, 2009
Attaining a Ph.D. degree takes commitment and perseverance, as any Ph.D. candidate can attest. But the way Nicholas Kristoff tells it, in yesterday's New York Times Tererai Trent, a plant pathologist and Ph.D. candidate at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, demonstrated commitment and perseverance in the quest that few students at American universities are expected to endure.
Now 44, Trent came from a village in rural Zimbabwe, where, as tradition dictates, she was married off to a much older man at age 11. Most girls subjected to such conditions have ended up illiterate and poor, tending to small plots of land or herds of livestock. But 12 years after her marriage, Jo Luck, president of the rural aid organization Heifer International, visited Trent's village, and encouraged the village women to talk about their dreams and at least try to make them a reality.
Trent wrote down her dreams — to go the United States and get an education — on a scrap of paper, put the paper in a box, and buried it under a pile of rocks. Heifer International gave her a goat and she began to make extra money selling its milk. Later, she went to work for Heifer International and other aid groups as a community organizer in Zimbabwe. When she finished secondary school, the income saved up from her work at Heifer International helped her enroll at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, in 1998.
You're probably imaging smooth sailing for Trent the rest of the way. Think again. By the time she started school she had 5 children that she was not ready to abandon to their traditional and abusive father. Her husband agreed to let the children go with her to Oklahoma, but on one condition: that he could come along as well. The airfares soaked up much Trent's savings, Kristoff says, and she and her family lived in a ramshackle trailer with little income — with nothing but beatings from a frustrated and abusive husband to welcome her home after class.
Financial and other help came, eventually, from a university colleague and the Stillwater community, and that help enabled her to complete her B.A. degree in agricultural education — and to get her husband deported. When he would return later, frail and suffering from AIDS, Trent took him back in until he died of the disease. (Kristoff says Trent tested negative for the HIV virus.)
Trent continued at Oklahoma State, getting an M.S. degree in plant pathology, marrying her current husband, plant pathologist Mark Trent, and becoming Heifer International's Deputy Director for Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluation. Her interest in assessing effectiveness led her to an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program at Western Michigan University, in evaluation. Her dissertation is called, "Toward an Integral Systematic Evaluation Approach in the Face of HIV/AIDS in Developing Countries."
She returned once to her village in Zimbabwe and found the pile of rocks under which she buried the box with her goals written down, Kristoff says, and she checks off her goals as they are achieved. Trent checked off the last item after defending her Ph.D. dissertation. The degree will be awarded in December.

The guys at Jockstrap Central have just added to their extensive collection of jocks some great new pleather jocks by Cellblock13. This new collection is called Bullet and comes in four colour variations. The fabric has the look of leather but it is made from a high quality polyester/spandex blend which is durable yet soft and pliable and machine washable!
The front of the Bullet jocks is similar to a brief featuring a contour pouch, decorated with contrasting sporty stripes. What is also very interesting with this design is that the waistband doesn't go all the way around the garment but is attached to the sides of the front, which gives a nice and modern style to the garment. Enjoy below some shots of the new items on, exclusive to Jockstrap Central, model Caleb King. There are a lot more shots of Caleb and the new jocks by Cellblock13 on Jockstrap Central and some of them are NSFW so make sure you are not at work when you are there!

Camp wouldn't be possible without medical supervision. It's a necessity and an advantage of all of our programs. Each of our Siblings Camps has a dedicated medical staff led by our camp nurse and one to two volunteer nurses. Our on-site Health Center is an exceptional facility where the medical team administers treatments and medications, even isolating patients if medically necessary.
Our medical team meets with campers one-on-one on arrival day and camp staff are informed of any specific medical issues and/or limitations, such as swimming, sun exposure, etc. Medications are collected and distributed by the medical staff at both of our Siblings Camps. The presence of medical staff is nonintrusive to the daily activities that make Camp special, but they are available 24/7 to address campers' needs.
All staff, both full summer and weekly volunteers, participate in an extensive application, interview and training process. In some situations, campers may need more one-on-one supervision. If we have a clear idea of those specific needs before the camper reaches Camp, we can better prepare for appropriate staff assistance.
Camp Mak-A-Dream saved my life! It sounds cliche, but it's true.


Abstract: Superconducting wires without time-reversal and spin-rotation symmetries can be driven into a topological phase that supports Majorana bound states. Direct detection of these zero-energy states is complicated by the proliferation of low-lying excitations in a disordered multi-mode wire. We show that the phase transition itself is signaled by a quantized thermal conductance and electrical shot noise power, irrespective of the degree of disorder. In a ring geometry, the phase transition is signaled by a period doubling of the magnetoconductance oscillations. These signatures directly follow from the identification of the sign of the determinant of the reflection matrix as a topological quantum number.


The Federal Court of Pittsburgh appointed waitress from Rivers Casino more than a million dollars in moral damages, and the casino was accused of unwillingness to prevent sexual harassment.
On Wednesday, the waitress Allison Peleski (Allyson Pelesky) awarded 150 thousand dollars, but after a pause, take thought, she was appointed additional compensation in the amount of 999,000 dollars.

One of the customers gambling establishment tucked into her bra dollar chip, while he touched her breasts. Allison Peleski told this administration and asked that it no longer allowed in the casino .
Ms. Peleski says: "From the beginning, all I wanted was just to this man did not show up at the casino. I no longer wanted to see him. It does not matter, you're a waitress or the manager. Every employee deserves respect. " According to the girl, after what happened colleagues ridiculed her.

The EPOS2 P 24/5 is a freely programmable positioning controller, now available from Maxon Motor Australia . The programming of applications of the programmable positioning controllers comply with the IEC 61131-3 standard. The integrated power stage is based on the EPOS2 slave version. These programmable positioning controllers are suitable for brushless and brushed DC motors with incremental encoder and up to 120 watt output power. The already known characteristics of EPOS P 24/5 can also be found in the new EPOS2 P 24/5. This with the subtle distinction of further improved properties and a USB Port as additional communication interface. As a novelty the EPOS2 P 24/5 can communicate with a superior process level for supervisory control and data acquisition.
Full backward compatibility – both, in regard to electrical and mechanical aspects – towards EPOS P 24/5 programmable positioning controllers permit alternative employment. Apart from identical dimensions and mounting hole pattern also the connections are pin-compatible. Alike, an existing EPOS P 24/5 IEC-61131 program can be downloaded into the new EPOS2 P 24/5 programmable positioning controllers by using the EPOS Studio. With self-compiled programs, the programmable positioning controllers EPOS2 P 24/5 can autonomously control single and multiple axis systems. Via the CAN Bus all axes can be coordinated simultaneously. Thanks to the communication interface to the superior process level, supervisory control and data acquisition via RS232; USB 2.0 or CANopen is now possible. Editors (ST, IL, FBD, LD, SFC) of the powerful "EPOSStudio" tool are available for programming according to IEC 61131-3. The integrated project browser shows all network resources. Complex programs with a large number of decentralized controls can be optimally managed with it. Drive systems are configured and networked quickly using intelligent step-by-step wizards.
Supervisory Control- Interface to the superior process level for supervisory control and data acquisition via RS232; USB 2.0 or CANopen (see also appendix 1).
Control Data Analyser- The new data recorder implemented in the programming tool OpenPCS 2008 simplifies analysis of chronological sequence of IEC-61131 program variables.
Communication- Via CANopen, USB and/or RS232.
32-bit Digital Signal Processor Technology permits outstanding Motion Control functionality. Now, complex mathematic algorithms can be efficiently executed, thus resulting in improved control characteristics.
12-bit Analog Digital Converter Resulting in higher resolution and, as a consequence, in superior quality of analog signal capture.
High-speed Motors- EC motors can be operated up to 100 000 rpm in block commutation (1 pole pair).
High Resolution Encoder- The maximal encoder resolution of 2 500 000 increments permits the use of high-definition encoders. The maximal encoder input frequency has been increased to 5 MHz, thus permitting high speed operation with high-resolution encoders.
Position and Speed control with feed forward- The combination of feedback and feed forward control provides ideal motion behaviour. Feed forward control reduces control error. EPOS2 P 24/5 supports feed forward acceleration and speed control.
Trigger Output (Position Compare)- Digital outputs of EPOS2 P 24/5 can be configured to emit a digital signal at a pre-set position value.
Control of Holding Brakes- The control of the holding brake can be implemented in the device state management. There the time delay for switching on and off can be configured individually.
Regulation Tuning Wizard- The upgraded regulation tuning functionality is an effective and time-saving aid for users at start-up, and helps to optimize current, speed and position regulation. This intelligent solution is easy to use and significantly improves the benefits of the positioning control.
The redesigned feature Regulation Tuning permits an extremely efficient adjustment of current, velocity or position regulation during commissioning. With EPOS2 P 24/5, EC motors with block commutation of up to 100 000 rpm and 120 watts can be operated. The encoder input offers a resolution of 2 500 000 increments and an input frequency of up to 5MHz. The analog inputs feature 12-bit resolution (that is quadrupled compared to the EPOS P 24/5).
