Cold weather causes water main breaks around Milwaukee
DPW workers they have to take breaks to warm up
With the dangerously cold weather, water breaks were popping all over Milwaukee and West Allis on Tuesday.
It was an early morning wake up call for Tim Kendall and his West Allis Department of Public Works workers to fix a water main break near the busy intersection of Oklahoma Avenue and Highway 100.
Kendall said the extreme cold is to blame for the break and said they expected this.
"Yeah, I'm sure it's the cold. The ground moves, and that's what does it," Kendall said.
Crews said the break happened around 2 a.m. and as a result, several businesses along Highway 100 were without water.
By 9 a.m., Wilde Toyota told WISN 12 News its water was back on. But work was far from over because at 106th Street and Lincoln Avenue, there was another break below ground
In Milwaukee, at 46th Street and Rohr, Dave Goldapp said his north side DPW crew is fixing a leak on a 6-inch water main, which luckily did not impact homeowners.
He said their drills have been working overtime since the mercury started dropping, putting pressure on old pipes.
"The temperature of the water, the age of the main and the weather is what allows the movement, any kind of movement in these old cast iron mains, and it can't take a lot of stress," Goldapp said.
The weather's also putting stress on the workers bodies' and they spend hours in the painful cold. The workers said it's about having the right attitude.
"You just do it, otherwise you don't have a job," Kendall said.
All the DPW workers WISN 12 News spoke with said the key is taking breaks to warm up, even if it means the jobs take longer because safety comes first.
DPW crews from both cities said as long as the cold hangs around they expect more water main breaks to pop up.

R.I.P. Daniel MacMaster (1968-2008)
From Suncity Records:
It is with deep sadness that we bring you the terrible news of the passing of Daniel Stewart MacMaster.
Daniel was pronounced dead last night as he lost his battle with complications from Pneumonia. Daniel suffered from Streptococcus Group A Infection that entered his blood stream. Usually people just get the non fatal Streptococcus Throat with this bug but it attacked Daniel at his weakest and his organs started to shut down. The doctors tried everything while Daniel was in hospital, but unfortunately it was too late.
We are all still in a state of shock. Daniel would have turned 40 on July 11th this year.
From personal experience, with all Daniel's Success, Fame and Talent in his short life, he was one of the most humble and easiest going guys I've met while working for Suncity Records. Daniel's loss will be felt by the thousands of fans that he has entertained over the years with his extraordinary musical talent and he's much loved voice. Our condolences go out to Daniel's close friends, his family, especially his 2 little kids Kaleb and Aryanna and his loving wife Tina.
From MelodicRock.com:
Stunning news overnight with the untimely death of former Bonham singer Daniel McMaster. Daniel sang on the two great Bonham albums The Disregard Of Timekeeping and Mad Hatter and most recently had released a solo album via Suncity Records Australia – Rock Bonham And The Long Way Back.
Daniel's website states: "It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Daniel MacMaster He will be forever missed."
One of Daniel's musical partners Jimmy D has also commented at: http://www.myspace.com/emeraldmonkey and www.myspace.com/monkeymacmaster.
Dan's wife Tina has been in contact with Suncity, who have posted a statement on their website – www.suncityrecords.com. It seems Dan had pneumonia and then he got a Strep Group A infection that entered his blood stream, which in turn caused his organs to shut down. Doctors tried everything, but the infection took hold so quickly there was nothing left to do. Dan was only 39.
Daniel was one hell of a singer and is another big loss for this musical community. Like so many others, he should have been better known, but for those of us who did appreciate his talents and his huge voice – this is a very sad day. R.I.P. Daniel.
Another person taken way before it was time. My own memory of Daniel MacMaster is just of the solid vocals he did on the first two Bonham albums. THE DISREGARD OF TIMEKEEPING (1989) got a ton of airplay here in RI with the single 'Wait For You' and I bought MAD HATTER (1992) when it was released. That first Bonham album takes me back to my senior year in high school…..good times and good memories.
Thanks to Daniel for being part of the soundtrack in my life. Rest In Peace…..
— Steve

Last week saw what has become a tradition for Apple enthusiasts: following the usual deep-secret build-up, Steve Jobs showed off the latest Mac mini onstage in Cupertino, Calif., as breathless tech bloggers filed minute-by-minute updates. Over the years, Jobs has become a master of the technology art form known as the "demo." In fact, if Steve hadn't had that knack for computers, he almost certainly could have made an alternative fortune selling kitchen gadgets on late-night cable television.
The power of the demo should never be underestimated: one changed my career, back in the mid-Eighties. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates invited a bunch of writers, publishers and technologists to Redmond, Wash., for a conference called "The New Papyrus," to extol the virtues of the newly-developed CD-ROM as a vehicle for interactive content. The highpoint of the conference was his presentation of the interactive encyclopedia that the CD-ROM would make possible. It was an astounding demo to witness back in 1986: on the entry for Martin Luther King Jr., you could not only see photos and read text, you could hear the "I Have a Dream" speech and actually view video as well.
I was sold, and immediately decided to abandon the paper and ink world and move into interactive multimedia. But what I didn't know was that Bill's demo was radically distant from anything that was even vaguely possible with CD-ROMs at the time. I ended up slogging through years of trying desperately to get video and audio to work on a whole parade of now-defunct devices and software. And ironically, about ten years later, still trying to get multimedia right, I ran into the guy who had programmed Gates' interactive encyclopedia back at the conference that changed my life. "Oh sure," he said casually, "I remember that demo. An AT&T minicomputer, running behind the curtain."
I soon discovered, however, that you could actually start up the disk, wait through the interminable loading period, and then go back to the beginning of the program. As long as you didn't turn the power off, the introductory segment would then start to play almost instantly. Thus, as I went around the country demonstrating the device to reporters or on televisions shows, I always made certain that I'd performed this little sleight-of-hand before the presentation began. By the unwritten code of the demo, this wasn't lying — I was simply showing the machine to its best advantage.
As we continued to put Newsweek content onto new devices and services, my demo skills improved. No matter how buggy the software or Web site, I would spend hours plotting a path through the product that worked perfectly once the cameras were rolling or the reporter or audience was watching. Again, I didn't consider this dishonest. I knew these bugs were simply blemishes that would soon disappear. It was a proud moment when a software developer introduced me to a colleague with this accolade: "Michael can demo a dead dog."
I had certain standards: I always used the actual program running on the hardware for which it was intended. But not all demos follow those rules. In the mid-Nineties I attended an advertising convention to show off the latest version of online Newsweek, and arranged for a telephone line to log on for my demonstration. Even though I used a special number for the very latest 14.4 K connection, the demo was still excruciatingly slow, as was most online content in those days. But after my presentation, a guy from a certain competing newsweekly came up to do his demo of their online version, and ignored the telephone line entirely. He had stored their entire site on a hard drive, so his demo was, by comparison, lightning fast. Back then, most advertising executives didn't know a modem from a motorboat, so my rival won that bake-off quite handily.
My own demo career taught me always to look behind the curtain. A couple of years later I was at a meeting of American newspaper editors in San Francisco, whose program included a speech by Larry Ellison, the renowned and ruthless head of the software superpower Oracle. The always-persuasive Ellison was demonstrating his then-newest brainstorm: the so-called "network" computer that contained relatively little software and instead received all its programming over the Internet.
After extolling the virtues of the new computer at length — low cost, constantly updated software, infinite storage ability on the network — Ellison did his demo, prefacing it by saying he was using an ordinary telephone line to connect to the Internet. The demo was dramatic, culminating in a full-motion color video of an Apollo mission blast-off. The audience, of course, was wowed, especially to see such great video coming off a mere telephone line. One tech-savvy person in the audience stood up and asked again if the connection was just a telephone line, and the mogul said yes—this was one of the great strengths of the network computer.
The nation's newspaper editors went away convinced they had seen the future of computing — none of their home computers could produce video like that. I waited until Ellison left and the auditorium cleared, and then went up on stage where the Oracle techies were taking down the demo. "Great demo," I said. "Was this really just using a telephone line?"
"Sort of," said the techie. "Six paired ISDN lines running at 768K." (Translation: The hookup was to a phone line as a nitro-fuelled dragster is to a VW bug.)
The demo is so much a part of the tech world that it even figures in a classic programmer's joke. Bill Gates passes away and at the pearly gates St. Peter tells him that he can choose between going to Heaven or Hell. Gates asks if he can see them both before he decides and St. Peter agrees. First he shows Gates a glimpse of Heaven: a bland, boring suburb of identical tract houses and white-bread inhabitants. Then Hell: an incredible hackers' paradise equipped with the latest high-speed computers, soda and chip machines at every corner and the hottest software available for free. Gates says, it sounds odd, but I think I'll take Hell. St. Peter snaps his fingers and suddenly Gates is surrounded by fire and brimstone and a little demon is poking him with a pitchfork. "Wait a minute," Gates shouts, "where are all the computers?" The little demon looks puzzled for a moment and then smiles. "Ah," he says, "you must have seen our demo."

Apple hires whitehat hacker who helped Microsoft probe and secure Windows Vista
The security of its products is important to Apple, that's why it has hired former Microsoft whitehat hacker Kristin Paget (formerly known as Chris Paget) to help secure its operating systems and hardware, Wired reports.
Paget confirmed to the popular technology website that she is currently employed by Apple. According to her LinkedIn profile, she started work at the company in September with the title "Core OS Security Researcher."
Paget and her team at Recursion Ventures were employed by Microsoft to perform penetration tests (you, at the back, stop sniggering) on its soon-to-be-released Windows Vista operating system back in 2006. She was barred from talking about her work at the company for five years as part of a non-disclosure agreement, which lifted last year.
For Microsoft, the hiring of Paget's team was unusual – it was the first time it had brought in an outside team. They expected them to find nothing, the tests were actually designed to be the final check before release.
According to Paget (quoted by Ironpaper), her company was so good at finding critical issues in Vista that the operating system was delayed because of one major bug that she found. According to Wired, the team were given "special T-shirts, signed by Microsoft Vice President of Windows Development Brian Valentine, that read: I delayed Windows Vista."
Unfortunately for Microsoft, Vista wasn't well received — instead it ended up laying the foundation for Windows 7 — and Paget stayed in her role as Chief Hacker at Recursion Ventures until July, before being hired by Apple a few months later.
While the majority of computer attacks aimed at consumers are targeted at Windows machines, the increase in Mac and iOS device sales has led to more more malware and other attacks being aimed Apple's operating systems.
Apple has a history of employing whitehat hackers and other security researchers to secure its software, including a couple of high profile jailbreak hackers, ensuring its platforms are less frequently targeted by malicious attackers.

meet (someone) in the flesh(redirected from meet you in the flesh)
meet (someone) in the flesh
To meet someone in person whom one only knows at a distance, especially through a medium such as film, music, theater, etc. After years of idolizing the singer, it was a bit anticlimactic meeting her in the flesh. We've been corresponding for years, so it was wonderful finally meeting him in the flesh at the conference.

Anne Hathaway, holding her new Oscar, ran into Kristen Stewart, who was on crutches, backstage.
"Oh no!" Hathaway said.
"I know, I'm an idiot," Stewart replied. "But congratulations!"
"Please tell me you're going on stage with those," Hathaway said, pointing to the crutches.
"Nope. I'm gonna hobble," Stewart said.
"Well, break a leg," Hathaway said. "Oops."
Stewart said she stepped on glass.
"I just hope it doesn't open up right now," she said backstage.

The begging and scraping that goes into getting a film financed is rarely mentioned among the glamour and triumph of the Academy Awards.
Not so with the short documentary "Inocente," which became the first Kickstarter-funded film to win an Oscar.
Co-directors Andrea Nix and Sean Fine praised the crowd-funding website to reporters backstage. They said it helped them generate community involvement as well as dollars.
Nearly 300 people donated $52,000 through the site to fund the documentary chronicling the life of a homeless teenager in San Diego.
"It's a great new outlet for films, and especially for documentary films," Fine said.
Kickstarter has more famously raised $160,000 for the forthcoming film "The Canyons," starring Lindsay Lohan.
The day the website makes a cameo in a tearful acceptance speech can't be far behind.

Just as soon as Adele stepped off the stage after singing the Oscar-winning theme from "Skyfall," she kicked off her sparkly Louboutin platforms.
"I'm sorry. (Forget) that," she said, flinging the shoes onto the floor. A stagehand quickly swooped them up.
"I'd pick them up but I can't bend over," she said, motioning toward her tight beaded dress.

Down the road from the Academy Awards, musicians and models found common schmoozing ground at the Elton John AIDS Foundation's Oscar viewing dinner in West Hollywood.
Lithe supermodel Naomi Campbell sat next to music mogul Quincy Jones then gripped hands and chatted with Steven Tyler and the party host himself, Elton John.
Bono, wearing his customary tinted shades, gleefully kissed Jones on the top of his head, then hugged statuesque model Petra Nemcova.
"Elton's a warrior on the HIV, AIDS scourge, since before anyone can remember," Bono told The Associated Press. "Like Bruce Springsteen is 'the Boss', Quincy is 'the President.' He is so unique. And Elton is both 'the king' AND 'the queen.'"

Things got even more surreal for folks coming off the high of winning an Academy Award when they found a high-spirited David Arquette waiting backstage to interview them.
Nestled amid the rows of working press, the actor asked a series of non sequitur questions. He said he was covering the event for Sirius XM radio, which carries Howard Stern's show.
"Django Unchained" supporting actor Christoph Waltz was asked about the possibility of a black man being chosen pope.
Director John Kahrs, whose film "Paperman," won for animated short film, was asked what he thought of receiving condoms in his gift bag. Arquette told him he'd take them if Kahrs didn't want them.
Academy officials said they didn't hand out any gift bags.
"I guess I have a lot to learn," Arquette said when told that.
The actor says he decided to cover the event so he could get a view of entertainment reporting from the other side.
He also took the opportunity to make a pitch to Kahrs.
"I do lots of voices," he told the director, "so if you're ever looking ... "

For all the sparkling young starlets and the edgy new host, it was none other than Dame Shirley Bassey who truly set the joint on fire early in the Oscar telecast.
The 76-year-old singer's rendition of the theme from "Goldfinger" � or, as she sang so memorably, "GoldfinGAH" � was a feel-good moment that won what was at the time the biggest ovation of the night.
Bassey, who recorded the song in the '60s to great acclaim, reprised it as part of the Academy's 50th anniversary tribute to the James Bond franchise.
On social networks, as people were debating vigorously how the telecast was going, there was no question as to how Bassey did: She was an unqualified hit.
Minutes after the performance, the singer and her song were trending on Twitter.
Adele, who was to perform her "Skyfall" theme later in the show, had her work cut out for her.

Charlize Theron, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe and Joseph Gordon-Levitt were one big bundle of nerves before they took the stage for their opening song-and-dance numbers.
Radcliffe danced by himself. Theron dabbed at her eyes and Gordon-Levitt stood silently as Oscar host Seth MacFarlane delivered the Oscar show's opening monologue.
Then it was time to hit the stage.
"Thank God!" Theron said afterward as she let out a sigh of relief.
"You stepped on my dress," she told Tatum.
Radcliffe and Gordon-Levitt bear-hugged after their dance routine.
"We did all right! We did all right," they told each other.
"It felt good! How did it look?" Gordon-Levitt asked.
"Well done," Radcliffe told him. "See you later!"

"We don't expect to depart with anything but our integrity." � Ben Affleck, shunning the nominations his film "Argo" received.
� Beth Harris � http://www.twitter.com/bethharrisap
However it fared with Academy voters, the clear fan favorite among fans in the Oscar bleachers was "Argo."
The bleacher crowd forced actor-director Ben Affleck to stop an interview with their loud chants of "Ben! Ben! Ben!"
They gave the film's producer, George Clooney, similar treatment and lavished applause on supporting actor nominee Alan Arkin.
Perhaps the strongest sign of fans' love for the CIA thriller was when the group was polled for its choice for best picture before any actors hit the red carpet.
While the chanting was spirited for "Les Miserables" and some other films, it was clearly loudest for "Argo."

It's always fun to hear what Jennifer Lawrence has to say � even if you have to lip read because she's being bleeped.
The bleeping started early for the charmingly blunt Lawrence, a best actress nominee for "Silver Linings Playbook," as ABC silenced her cheeky red carpet response to actress Kristin Chenoweth.
The two were bonding over "Dance Moms," the Lifetime reality series, when Lawrence asked Chenoweth if she liked it too.
Chenoweth: "Is the pope Catholic?"
Lawrence: "... ?" (We can't print her reply here, but the reference was to something a bear does in the woods.)
And the night, as they say, was still very young.

To slide, plop or shimmy?
That's the dilemma that faced Amy Adams in her flowing Oscar de la Renta gown when she approached her front-row seat inside the Dolby Theatre before the Oscars began.
After greeting fellow nominee Phillip Seymour Hoffman in the row behind her with a big hug, "The Master" co-star tilted to her right side and sort of shimmied down into her seat.
While Jennifer Aniston and Samuel L. Jackson mingled with attendees nearby, Adams held court in her fluffy dove grey fabric cloud.
Across the aisle, Bradley Cooper rushed his mother to meet Jean Dujardin, who took home the best actor Oscar last year.
� Derrik J. Lang � Twitter http://twitter.com/derrikjlang
Joaquin Phoenix didn't waste any time getting into the Dolby Theatre, and the Oscar-nominated actor's dash across the red carpet didn't go unnoticed.
Red carpet host Chris Connelly heckled Phoenix, who has criticized the awards show, as he rushed by, saying he was setting new speed records.
Connelly then added, "You should be at the (NFL) combine," a reference to the athletic tests NFL recruits go through.

Oscar bleacher fans got a wave from some stars such as Jane Fonda, and a peace sign from others, including Channing Tatum.
Then there were those who pulled out all the stops.
Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter paused on the red carpet to pose for pictures for star-struck fans.
Melissa McCarthy stopped to beam and wave at every section of the bleachers, all but ignoring the professional photographers surrounding her.
Jessica Chastain blew the crowd a kiss.
And Joseph Gordon-Levitt topped it all off with an appreciative bow to his audience.

A few months ago, Army Sgt. 1st Class Walter Talens was shooting footage in Afghanistan. On Sunday, he had a prime seat to watch the stars at the Academy Awards.
Talens was one of dozens of service members sprinkled around the fan bleachers, where he hoped to get a glimpse of actress Jennifer Lawrence from his second-row seat.
It was a new vantage point for him after working two Oscar shows filming shoutouts to troops overseas.
His boss, Maj. John Reynolds, relocated from a posting in Fort Leavenworth, Kan., a few months before last year's show and was hoping for a glimpse of Denzel Washington, Ben Affleck and Lawrence.
"I never thought I would be this close to the red carpet," said Reynolds, who had a front row seat where the stars entered the Dolby Theatre.
Talens, who noted the Oscars' longtime support of the troops, said, "I'm very happy the academy supports the military and allows us to see the glitz and glamour."

I decided to do the 365 project this year. It's more of a "I wonder if I can do it" sorta thing vs. "I want to keep track of my life" sorta thing.
The first few days already proved challenging. Yesterday I had absolutely no idea what to photograph and ended up taking one of Lily Buns because she just happened to be there. Today I had too many photos to choose from!
I finally settled on the boot picture above because 1. I love my boots 2. I received the pair to the right today and 3. They're awesome. Yeah, I don't put too much thought into the pictures I take. You're not going to find a meaning or story behind them like, "the slouch in the boots reveals the lack of structure in my life and the undone laces represent the loose ends I've yet to tie." No. I did enough of that in college (Erin, a confession if it wasn't already obvious: EVERY assignment was done the day of. Hehe).
It was taken with my new 50mm f/1.4 lens which I'm quite smitten with. I'm excited to take it on outings but I don't think that'll happen any time soon. My foot is still swollen from being tattooed last week and I'm hobbling around my house in fuzzy slippers (won't fit into regular shoes).
I should be getting a delivery from KnitPicks this week so expect some fair isle goodness soon.
And if you'd like to follow my 365 project you can do so here.
Happy Wednesday!

Very cute boots. Did you get the pair on the right from go jane?

Joe Justice on inventing, innovating and executing at lean startups.
Joe Justice on inventing, innovating and executing at lean startups.
Kickstarter has subdivided their "technology" category into "open software" and "open hardware" which makes my job a little faster. There aren't very many things in it…but I suppose that also makes my job a little faster.
So, apparently the JOBS Act officially sanctioned "crowdfunding" (yes it's a real word now).
The catch is that "investors" can only work with "issuers" through the services of a "portal" which has to be registered with the SEC. What this means is that Indiegogo and Kickstarter will have some competition and we're about to see a lot more innovative ideas pitched (more or less) directly to the public.
Anywho…that's fascinating and all…but what will it do for open source hardware? I dunno; lets find out. Assuming there's enough activity (seems like a safe assumption) the Crowd Funding Dump (CFD) will become a regular feature on Openalia.
Simone Cicero has posted an extensive interview with the team lead of Wikispeed.
Joe Justice started Team Wikispeed and got 10th place in one of the divisions of the Automotive X-prize. He is continuing to lead his international team of volunteers towards the 100mpg future.
Here are some highlights from Simone's interview:
Wikispeed is doing awesome.
The thing about open source hardware, like the Wikispeed car, is that it costs a lot more than software. For example, crash testing a prototype car costs $10,000! That means Wikispeed needs money and volunteers to join the existing international, 150 member team. With more resources, Wikispeed can produce the next generation. The Comfy, Commuter Car (C3) will be a direct replacement for your existing car.
However, it will be able to get 100 miles per gallon and you will be able to upgrade the car's modular components so that it can grow with your needs or new technology.
They just started their Indigogo campaign. They have 65 days to raise the $52,500 they need to get the first practical 100mpg car on the road. Major auto manufacturers can't even mass produce a 50mpg car for $50k.

Even among the small group of people who are familiar with open source, the phrase "open source hardware" applies only to electronics. That might have been accurate in the past, but projects like Wikispeed are blazing a trail for practical HARDware projects. Like an entire car.
Team Wikispeed formed around Joe Justice when he was competing in the Automotive X-prize. Due to Joe's day-job as a lean/agile coach, Wikispeed (which means fast-fast) adopted management practices that are normally only associated with software projects. By working in modules the team was able to rapidly iterate the design of the car. Basically, a change to one part of the car had no effect on the rest of the car. This was particularly important as the X-prize kept changing the rules of the competition. By the third change some teams had to simply drop out of the competition because they couldn't afford the time or money to redesign their car. Team Wikispeed merely changed their suspension modules. The car they built, SGT01, ended up beating out most of the other entries and was invited to the competition. Due to technical and cultural errors the car never actually drove on the track, but that hardly dampened the spirits of the team. There is an excellent writeup in Seattle Met.
Thanks to the culture of innovation and high morale Joe has maintained, Wikispeed is still going strong. Additionally, Joe and the team have joined forces with Open Source Ecology to officially open source the design of the SGT01. Documentation is being built on the OSE wiki.
Wikispeed's approach to automotive design is an entirely new paradigm (yay hyperbole!). The design of the SGT01 goes beyond merely using interchangeable parts, like stock fasteners. The car is made out of modules that each conform to contracts (size, material, location, etc). This approach means that different parts of the car can be completely changed without requiring coordination with other parts of the car. The suspension module that normally mounts a tire could be swapped out for tank treads and it wouldn't change anything about the rest of the car.
This is a powerful concept that has the potential to dramatically change how people interact with their vehicles in the future. Basically, when support for this sort of standard becomes wide-spread, people will be able to swap out pieces of their car as easily as they swap out apps on their smartphone. Imagine having engine trouble; so you drive to the mechanic, he pulls out the engine unit, swaps a loner engine into your car, and you drive away 10-minutes later. When the mechanic finds and fixes the problem you return for another 10-minute swap and you're back on the road. Perhaps you commute to work but also like camping in the mountains, so you have a sleek, aerodynamic car body during the week which you lift off and replace with a pickup-bed model for the weekend.
Most powerful of all is that once you own a modular car you are future-proof. Wikispeed's current model has a >$8,000 engine and gets 100mpg. That's with current technology. There is no reason the engine unit couldn't have a stack of batteries and an electric motor, or a tank of hydrogen and a fuel cell, or dilithium crystals and a warp engine. If you buy a hybrid, and then a week later someone invents super-ultra-capacitors, you are stuck with the technology built into your new car. If you buy a Wikispeed car, and the next day someone invents an engine that runs on perpetual motion, all you have to do is buy that new engine and swap it into your car. You get to take advantage of all the best new stuff without buying a new car.
Team Wikispeed is pressing forward on not only improving the SGT01, but also creating a second generation called the C3 (comfy commuter car). They expect it to cost between $15,000 and $25,000, to seat 4, to have a 5-star crash safety rating, and to get 100mpg. That isn't a dream. The only real barrier between the SGT01 and the C3 is the lack of a roof.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Tom Sestito scored his first two goals in three years to lead the Philadelphia Flyers over the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Ilya Bryzgalov made 21 saves, shutting down the NHL's highest-scoring team to help the Flyers win their second straight game and improve to 4-6.
The Lightning, who entered averaging 4.9 goals per game, had dominated the series, winning seven of the previous nine meetings.
Benoit Pouliot scored for Tampa Bay. Steven Stamkos was held without a point for the first time this season as the Lightning (6-3) lost their second consecutive game.
Less than 2 minutes after Pouliot tied it in the third period, Sestito scored the go-ahead goal on a nearly identical move.

A software development methodology describes who does what, how, and when to produce a software product. In this regard, the Eclipse Process Framework (EPF) provides a general formalism to:
- Capture the essence of the who, the what, the when, and the how, as method elements.
- Define the different relationships between these elements.
EPF also provides a clean separation between the definition of the methodology elements and their presentation to the methodology users.
EPF encapsulates meaningful and related method and process contents in method plug-ins. The contents of plug-ins can then be extended or modified by other plug-ins. EPF provides a set of exemplary processes, the main one being OpenUP.
Content Definition
Figure 1 is a simplified view of the key EPF method elements and their relationships. The framework provides many more artifacts and relationships flavors and nuances:
- A set of different tasks compose a discipline.
- A certain combination of roles perform a task, using a set of guidelines to assist in the execution.
- A task relies on input work-products to be performed and outputs other work-products and deliverables.
- A work-product or deliverable can be based on a template.
- The design of a work-product or deliverable can use examples, white-papers, reports, reusable assets, and the like.
The design of a methodology in EPF starts by creating the above elements and their relationships (a.k.a. "associations") within a method library using the EPF Composer, an integrated development environment (IDE) built on top of the Eclipse platform.
A set of attributes, taking the form of pure textual information or Rich Text, describe each element:
- General information. Includes name, presentation name and brief description
- Detail information. Includes purpose, main description, key considerations,
- Version information. Includes version number, change date, change description, authors
The above elements come together in an organized way through the definition of Processes (Capability Patterns or Delivery Processes), which provide the concepts of Work Breakdown Structure, Team Allocation, and Work Product Usage.
EPF then allows grouping the different elements by categories: Standard and custom categories. Standard categories are split into the pre-defined software methodology concepts of Disciplines, Domains, Work Product Kinds, Role Sets, and Tools. For example, you can create a "Project Data" category under the Work Product Kinds standard category and use it to qualify work products such as test results, problem reports, weekly status reports, and the like.
In contrast, custom categories are unconstrained hierarchical, ordered collections of method elements. Their main use is to compose configurations that are published as final methodology content. A standard use of a custom category is to present the different methodology elements according to different chosen points of view. Figure 2 shows an example of a custom category which presents the components of a process by grouping an introduction, a set of concepts, the set of disciplines, roles, delivery processes and work product kinds.
Plug-in entities bring together EPF method elements packages and processes. A plug-in can reference another plug-in so that its element definitions can reuse and extend the content of the referenced plug-in. This mechanism allows customizing the standard OpenUP content and tailoring it to the specific needs of an organization.
Method elements have a Content Variability section where the user can define how an element relates to another one, either from the same plug-in or, more often, from one of the referenced plug-ins. The variability definition can have different semantics, that can be roughly described as follows:
- Extends. The extending element contents brings some additional information on top of the element it extends, implementing some kind of inheritance. When published, the extended element remains untouched, and the extending element shows the content of the extended element augmented (for associations) or overwritten (for attributes) with the contents of the extending element.
- Contributes. The element contents represent some additional information on top of the element it contributes to. When published, it is now the contributed-to element that shows its own contents augmented by the contributing element's contents (associations and attributes).
- Replaces. The element contents represent a new definition for the replaced element. When published, the replaced element shows the contents of the replacing element.
- Extends and Replaces. This semantics acts as a combination of the above Extends and Replaces semantics. When published, it is now the base element that shows its own contents augmented with the contents of the extending element. The extending element remains untouched.
The concept of variability with its various semantics has been key in allowing the ISIS (ILOG Solution Implementation Standard) methodology to:
- Layer the method contents from generic to product-specific.
- Carve and distribute parts of the methodology for different recipients.
Configurations define which previously created elements should be published to the methodology users. A simple way to think about a configuration is as a set of views, each being materialized as a tab in the methodology web portal and presenting the contents of a custom category.
Configurations allow for some filtering on what to publish by selecting in each plug-in, which categories (standard or custom) should participate or should be removed from the published material. The concept of configuration allows the flexibility of building different, targeted instances of a methodology, based on the same compendium of material, with minimal investment.

Hard Drive
It used to be thought that you were either a computer genius or some kind of "geek" if you were able to install Linux onto a systems hard drive, but not any more.
Thanks to LiveCD's and graphical installers such as Ubiquity and Anaconda, installation to a hard drive is now an extremely easy process that can be undertaken by anyone. Installing most Linux distributions is now as easy as booting from a LiveCD/USB, clicking the "Install" icon on the desktop, and answering a few questions. Even the set-up of complex multi-boot systems can easily be achieved through the graphical installer.
If your BIOS supports booting from USB devices Linux can be installed to a USB hard drive, although this would probably only be advisable on USB 2.0 or better as transfer rates from earlier USB versions (1.0/1.1) were extremely slow. By far the best results will be achieved by installing and running Linux from an internal hard drive.
Another option, at least for Ubuntu and Linux Mint is to install Linux "inside" Microsoft Windows, Ubuntu's "WUBI" and Mint's "Mint4Win" are small Windows applications included on the LiveCD's, when the LiveCD is inserted into a PC running Windows the application autostarts and offers to install Linux for you. We don't advise installing by this method as Linux will not be installed to its own native partition but rather to a folder inside windows, not only decreasing performance but also undermining Linux security and leaving the Linux installation open to interference from Windows Malware and Viruses.
2 Responses to "Hard Drive"
Hello, I run a computer club for the over 50's at my church. My Granddaughter donated a dell laptop with Windows XP operating system
I would like to install Linux as "the" operating system for this Dell machine. I would appreciate some guidance on this please
Thank yooooo

Chargers 21, Packers 13: Not positive
As preseason openers go, this wasn't as bad as Mike McCarthy's very first one. But it wasn't much better.
From starting inside linebacker Desmond Bishop leaving Qualcomm Stadium on a cart with a right knee injury, to quarterback Aaron Rodgers taking a heavy hit and throwing an interception thanks to poor blindside protection from fill-in left tackle Herb Taylor, to turnovers and poor tackling from every roster level, the Packers' 21-13 preseason-opening loss to the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium was not the team's finest hour.
Earlier in the week, the Packers head coach was recalling his debut, a 2006 preseason-opening loss to the Chargers. "Not positive," McCarthy remembered. "I remember Marty Schottenheimer smacking me on the back and saying, 'Don't worry kid, it gets better.' And I said, 'Hell, I sure hope so.'"
The Packers (0-1) expect things to get better in 2012, too. And while their performance Thursday night did nothing to change their position as a Super Bowl contender, there were some downright ugly moments.
"We have a lot of work to do. That's evident," McCarthy told reporters Thursday night. "I feel like you normally do after your first preseason game – there's some things you were happy to see, and there's definitely some things you're not very happy with. I think it's an excellent illustration of the progression you make from the practice field to a scrimmage and then to a real game."
Even the negative things that happened Thursday night seemed to be coupled with negatives.
Rookie first-round pick Nick Perry announced his presence with a sack on the second play of the game, throwing Philip Rivers for a 6-yard loss. But Perry was then victimized by a questionable unsportsmanlike conduct/celebration penalty by the replacement officials.
Cornerback Davon House, competing for the starting cornerback job opposite Tramon Williams, broke up a pass, made a terrific behind-the-line-of-scrimmage tackle on a running play and looked comfortable in special teams coverage. But House later suffered a shoulder injury – he told WBAY-TV after the game that the shoulder "popped out" and will likely be sidelined after x-rays are taken Friday.
Undrafted rookie free agent running back Marc Tyler, getting extensive playing time with Brandon Saine (hamstring) sidelined and Alex Green (knee) getting limited action, had some high-effort, hard runs (13 carries, 32 yards, one touchdown). But he ultimately coughed up a fumble that eliminated any chance the Packers had at a comeback with 19 seconds left at the Chargers' 33-yard line.
Tyler's fumble was the Packers' fourth turnover of the game, combined with fumbles by starting running back James Starks and kickoff returner Diondre Borel and Rodgers' interception.
"Obviously the way we handled the football, the ball was on the ground way too much," said McCarthy, whose team committed four turnovers (three fumbles, one interception) in its most recent game, a Jan. 15 playoff loss to the New York Giants. "We spend extra time on handling the football, and I think when you do emphasize particular fundamentals in practice, it needs to show up in games, and that was not the case. So we have work to do there."
Of course, the brightest spot – beyond backup quarterback Graham Harrell, who overcame a slow start to lead a pair of touchdown drives – was that Rodgers made it out of the game without him getting hurt. With starting left tackle Marshall Newhouse sidelined by a concussion suffered in the Family Night Scrimmage and would-be backup Derek Sherrod yet to be cleared for practice, the Packers trotted out Taylor. Taylor promptly was whipped by Chargers rookie outside linebacker Melvin Ingram, who hit Rodgers as he tried to throw, with Antoine Cason picking it off.
"Stuff happens," the reigning NFL MVP said after completing just 2 of 8 passes for 16 yards for a 0.0 passer rating. "You don't play as well as you want to, but it's preseason. We're missing some guys, screwed some plays up, turned the ball over. It happens. We'll watch the film, review and get better.
"Whether you play real well or you struggle, it's preseason. You've got to be working on things. We'll be fine. We'll just watch the film, get a nice tongue lashing, come back on Saturday and get ready for next week."
Rodgers didn't play another down after that hit – "I feel fine," he said afterward — giving way to Harrell after taking 14 snaps. Harrell started slowly, completing just 2 of 7 passes for 4 yards, but in the 2-minute drill, he directed an eight-play, 70-yard touchdown drive, completing 5 of 6 passes for 68 yards, including a 3-yard TD strike to Randall Cobb.
After another offensive lull with the backups, Harrell engineered another touchdown drive at the end of the third quarter, overcoming a second-and-17 situation during a 14-play, 68-yard drive that ended in Tyler's 1-yard touchdown, although the go-ahead 2-point conversion failed.
"We did some good things at times, and then we went through some rough patches," said Harrell, who finished the night 15 of 27 for 135 with two sacks, one touchdown and no interceptions (81.6 rating). "Getting a chance to get that many reps and (play) drive after drive is definitely good for me. I'll only get better from it, and as the preseason goes along, hopefully we continue to improve and get more consistent.
"At times, we did some really good things, like that drive right before half and that other touchdown drive. We showed things like that, and that's very encouraging. But you have to do it more often."

Species In-Depth
At the Aquarium
They are currently in our Tropical Reef Habitat.
Geographic Distribution
Western Atlantic: from Rhode Island (occasionally) south to the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil, and throughout the Caribbean including Cuba and the Bahamas. Eastern Pacific: southern California (rarely above San Diego) to Ecuador
Their migrations and reproductive behaviors result in their inhabiting a variety of seasonal habitats in temperate and subtropical waters including the surf zone, bays and estuaries, on coral and rocky reefs, and over sandy and muddy bottoms. They are also found on the continental shelf to depths of about 80 m (260 ft) but more commonly at 10-25 m (31-82 ft).
Physical Characteristics
Bonnethead sharks have a moderately compact body and are distinguished by their compressed, wide, smooth, rounded, shovel or bonnet-shaped head. Their eyes are located at the ends of the evenly rounded lobes of the flattened head. Pectoral fins are short and straight along the rear margin and the anal fin is slightly concave with no notch. They are countershaded in color, a plain gray-brown dorsally shading to a lighter gray to white on the ventral side of the body. Occasionally, there are round dark spots along their sides.
Adult females are commonly about 0.7-1 m (2.3-3.3 ft) in length, reaching a maximum of 1.5 m (5 ft). Males are smaller than females.
Bonnetheads feed during the day with foraging activity peaking in the late afternoon. The varied diet of bonnethead sharks includes crabs, shrimps, bivalves, snails, and some small bony fishes; however, they are also known to eat seagrasses. This menu of primarily hard-shelled invertebrates differs from that of other hammerheads which usually do not eat such prey. The tooth structure and jaws of bonnetheads has been adapted for feeding on both hard-shelled and soft prey. They have small sharp teeth at the front of their jaw for grasping soft-bodied prey, and broad, flat molar-like teeth at the back for crushing hard-shelled invertebrates. Like most sharks, they have rows of teeth in place ready to replace any that become worn or lost.
The primary diet of juveniles is swimming crabs and shrimps.
Females reach maturity when they are 75-84 cm (30-33 in) in length. Males are 52-75 cm (20-30 in) long. After mating, the female can store the sperm for four months prior to actual fertilization of the eggs. When the embryos first emerge from the egg, they absorb the yolk for nourishment. The sac attaches to the female's uterine wall to form a yolk-sac placenta, through which nourishment is received from the female. Females move to shallow bays and estuaries during the pupping season; whereas males move to a different location, an adaptation believed to prevent males from feeding on their own pups. Females are prevented from doing so because of a loss of desire for food.
The female delivers 4-14 pups that are born live. The pups are 30-40 cm (12-16 in) long at birth. The gestation period is only five to six months long, the shortest of all sharks.
Scientists have observed at least 18 different behaviors that bonnetheads display toward other individuals in a number of ways. Some of these are: males adopt a threat posture known as a "hunch" toward others in the group, and will physically bump and bite females or smaller males; patrolling; head-shaking; and jaw-snapping. It is believed that the purpose of these displays is to establish and/or maintain dominance.
Preferring a water temperature of at least 15o C (70o F), bonnethead sharks migrate in large schools to warmer latitudes in the winter and to cooler waters in the summer. Rarely alone, there are usually 5-15 sharks in a school of either males or females. The schools sometimes number 100 and occasionally 1,000.
The unique head shape of the bonnethead shark, like that of other hammerhead sharks, may give them added lift, enabling them to make sharper turns than other sharks. The wider head also provides space for more ampullae of Lorenzini to help detect prey, and also possibly function as a navigation aid.
The location of the eyes of these sharks at the far sides of their heads increases their field of vision. As they swim, they roll the head from side to side, taking in the scene on all sides and the front. Like other sharks, their eyes have a special organ, the tapetum lucidum, which reflects light back to the retina of the eye, allowing them to see in low light. They also have a membrane that comes up from beneath their eyes to protect them during feeding.
The life span of bonnethead sharks is believed to be about 12 years.
Like most sharks, bonnetheads are under pressure as a result of overfishing by small-scale fisheries. They are both targeted and caught as by-catch. When targeted, the meat is sold fresh, salted, or dried for human consumption. They are occasionally processed into fish meal. Since bonnetheads are an inshore coastal species, coastal development may have a major impact on their survival. NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service laboratory in Panama City, Florida is currently doing population modeling on bonnetheads. One study called Year of the Young (YOY) has shown that the mortality of young bonnetheads is high.
Special Notes
A bonnethead shark excretes a unique cerebrospinal fluid (Cl-excess) that is believed to be used to let other bonnetheads know it is in the area.

Independent broker-dealer First Allied announced Tuesday that it has joined in an acquisition deal with private equity firm Lovell Minnick Partners, allowing the BD and Lovell to buy First Allied from parent Advanced Equities Financial Corp.
San Diego-based First Allied, with about 1,000 financial advisors in 500 branches located around the United States, makes up Advanced Equities' independent brokerage group, including registered investment advisor (RIA) and wealth management businesses. Upon closing of the transaction, First Allied will be an independent company and continue to operate under the First Allied brand.
"At a time when many independent broker/dealers are challenged to find sustainable growth, First Allied continues to succeed by providing a platform that enables its affiliated advisors to grow their businesses," said First Allied President Adam Antoniades in a statement. "Becoming a free-standing company, with the financial support of a great partner in Lovell Minnick, will provide us with additional flexibility and resources to further accelerate our growth."
Founded in 1994 as a privately held company, First Allied in 2005 was sold to Advanced Equities by Wells Fargo.
Potential buyers for broker-dealers on the market have shrunk over the past few years, making this acquisition big news in the advisory world. Private equity and venture capital firms are the primary group of buyers right now, said Jon Henschen, head of Henschen & Associates, a recruiting firm for independent advisors in Marine on St. Croix, Minn., in this month's issue of Investment Advisor.
"There are fewer buyers out there right now," Henschen said. "There are just not many insurance firms looking for brokers, for instance, since many of them have gotten out of this business."
LPL Financial was a leader in the private equity-driven sale of BDs back in 2005, when it sold a majority equity interest in the company, about 60%, to two private equity shops.
Lovell Minnick Partners is a private equity firm focused on providing buyout and growth capital to companies in the financial services industry. It has offices in Los Angeles and Philadelphia, and manages private equity partnerships totaling $800 million on behalf of private and institutional investors.
"This transaction culminates a multi-year search by Lovell Minnick to identify a strong management team and platform investment within the independent broker-dealer channel," said Lovell Minnick Managing Director Robert Belke in a statement. "First Allied has successfully executed on a strategy focused on premium advisor service and education, and we are committed to supporting that strategy."
Though separating to focus on their core businesses, according to the news release, the companies will continue to work together through a distribution relationship that will provide for the continued availability of Advanced Equities' products and services to First Allied's affiliated RIAs.
"This transaction will allow us to focus on Advanced Equities, the business we started in 1999 and the part of the business we believe has significant upside potential for our stockholders," Advanced Equities CEO Dwight Badger said in a statement.
No operating changes are expected to arise from the separation, and First Allied's management team said the deal would largely be transparent to the firm's advisors and their clients. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011, subject to customary regulatory reviews and approvals.

According to 8.3 in the specification, min() and max() functions should return results based on relational operations, y < x or y > x. As they support genType for both operands, it supposedly require >, < operators for vector types, which I don't think allowed by the spec.
I see many shader codes that use min()/max() for picking component-wise extreme values, but wonder if it is standard compliant.
Did I miss something? Maybe more precise note about genType in the spec would be appreciated.

Feds: NC in danger of losing food stamp money
Federal officials are warning that North Carolina has about two weeks to make significant progress on its massive backlog of food stamp applications or face losing millions in funding.
In a sternly worded letter sent Thursday, officials at the U.S. Department of Agriculture gave state Health and Human Services Secretary Aldona Wos until Feb. 10 to meet three milestones, including completing all applications pending more than 90 days. If the state fails, the $88 million in federal funding the state receives annually to administer its food stamp program could be terminated as early as March 12.
North Carolina has struggled to process benefits applications since introducing its new NC FAST computer system last summer. Despite repeated claims of progress, more than 23,000 families were still waiting this week.

Non-voting alternates present were: None
Non-voting attendees were: M. Filipic, J. Fulton, J. Kimble, G. Malicki, J. Maxwell, W. Sellers
The proposal for a Master of Science degree in Pharmacology and Toxicology was approved by the Ohio Board of Regents on April 19, 2001.
The proposal for a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences was approved by the Faculty Senate and Wright State University Board of Trustees in April 2001. The full proposal will now be submitted to the Ohio Board of Regents.
A degree title change from Master of Urban Administration to Master of Public Administration was approved by the Faculty Senate, and will now be submitted to the Ohio Board of Regents.
A program development plan for a Master of Science degree in Scientific and Technical Communication is being reviewed by RACGS members; the full proposal is presently being developed.
The annual Graduate Student Excellence Awards Presentation is scheduled for Monday, May 21, at 5:00 pm in the Student Union Formal Lounge. Thirty-five outstanding graduate students and five Graduate Council Scholars will be recognized.
Policies Committee (C. Ryan)
Membership Committee (E. Self)
The Committee brought forward seven nominations for full graduate faculty membership and two nominations for adjunct full graduate faculty membership.
The seven full member nominees are:
The adjunct full member nominees are:
It was moved and seconded that the nominees be approved. The motion passed unanimously.
Student Affairs Committee (J. Fulton)
Grant and contract awards for the period of July 1, 2000 through April 30, 2001 indicate an increase of 5.34 percent over the same period in FY 2000.
The Research Council competition for 2000-01 has been completed. Thirteen Research Initiation Grant proposals were received; six were funded for a total of $47,635. Sixteen Professional Development Grant proposals were received; eight were funded for a total of $19,789.
Technology Commercialization Competition proposals are due June 1. The funding for these proposals is derived from Research Challenge funds. The goals of the competition include developing intellectual property, establishing commercial licenses, and forming start-up companies along with the securing of seed capital.
The Ohio Plan (M. Filipic)
The state of Ohio has concerns about practices at some universities regarding support of graduate students. A potential exists for substantial reallocation of state higher education support funds across institutions. New OBR Principles of Good Practice focus on tuition scholarships and require campus plans to be reviewed by RACGS. At a recent Graduate Scholarship Coordinators meeting, this issue was explained and inputs from the colleges/schools were requested through the coordinators. The coordinators are currently developing plans for their respective programs. The intent of the Tuition Scholarship Program is to increase the quality of students, not the quantity of students. State funding will be constrained in the coming biennium, especially in the second year. Since the state share of instruction funding for FY 2003 will increase by less than one percent and no campus can receive less than the previous year, the formula for computing state support is effectively suspended; therefore, additional enrollments this year will not increase subsidy the following year. Only modest changes in procedures for awarding tuition scholarships are required at Wright State. WSU has not used tuition scholarships to eliminate tuition in graduate programs, but will be required to publish the criteria used to award them.
Electronic Theses and Dissertations (J. Kimble)
In 1997, WSU formed an Electronic Theses and Dissertations Committee; in 1999 an implementation group was active. In 2000, Wright State University's first electronic thesis was submitted to OhioLink; to date, three have been submitted, and two are in the preparation stage. Transmittal to OhioLink can be either processed by the student or by the School of Graduate Studies. Some advantages of the electronic submission include easy access via the Web; instant retrievability; reduction of storage requirements; possible multimedia applications; introduction of students to electronic scholarship, and savings in resources and money. Students are encouraged to submit theses and dissertations in electronic format. Presently, an ETD is optional, but the process will be mandatory in the not too distant future.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 4:00 p.m.
- The meeting was called to order at 2:30 p.m.
- It was moved and seconded that the minutes of the February 19, 2001 meeting be approved as written. Motion carried unanimously.
- Report of the Dean (J. Thomas)
- Committee Reports
- The Policies Committee approved a waiver of seven credit hours for students in the Master of Urban Administration program who complete the Ohio Certified Public Manager (OCPM) certificate program. These students may graduate with 45 credit hours vs. the usual 52 credit hours.
- The Policies Committee approved a revision of the Principalship Concentration in the M.Ed. Educational Leadership Program. The revision brings the program into compliance with revised State of Ohio licensure standards.

quote - What this means is that files that the user copies (to launch or open) from the network will be matched in real-time to detect any potential threat
aka you are scanning the file on a read or a write to the network. This is called Realtime Scanning.
You NEVER perform realtime Scanning of network drives from the client. That is left up to the antivirus scanner on the file server or NAS A/V scanning solution...not the desktop.
As an enterprise administrator in charge of Global environments I can tell you for fact that is NOT what you want to have happening. Sure you might think its ok with 20 people accessing a server...how about 20,000? You can, and will bring your netapp, fileserver or any other product right to its freaking knees doing that, not to mention cause huge slowdowns and other issues due to multiple A/V scanners locking the files at the same time (from client and server side scanning)
The help states the protection scope defaults to All network drives...the protection scope needs to be modifed to Exclude network drives...and we need a way to do that...globally.
Want and example of why this is bad?
Mark, the feature you're asking will be available in KAV1.4
In the interim you can use exclusions rules to avoid this problem
In the scenario you describe of 20,000 users accessing the same file at the same time, I'm sure you would know what this file is - just add it to the list of trusted apps
Or if you don't know, you can add the folder as an exclusion
The ability to completely ignore files coming from the network (though highly not recommend and rendering your system not secure) would be added in the next version.
I think the real issue is Kaseya is making assumptions on the feature set and defaults with no way for us to customise them to suit our customer environments. That's why I say Kaseya AV is only suited to the smallest of environments. Kaseya pitches itself as automation and productivity tool but if I have to connect to each computer individually and _manually_ configure AV so that it will adequetly work in the customer environment that is very onerous and doesn't fit in at all with your products vision.
I'm still looking for an answer how I can trust a particular URL at a customer site without connecting to 100 desktops and manually updating it.
I give up. Jamesn - i have asked at least 3 times what the target date for this glorious 1.4 release is. I realized this morning that *we* the customers did not turn this thread into an argument, but *Kaseya* did... and did so without answering many of the very direct questions we were asking.
So you win, Kaseya... i secede... you're right and we are wrong. And the other IT professionals in other posts with the exact same concerns are all wrong too. Especially about network file scanning. I'm sure there are centuries of collective experience all saying it's not preferred, but you're still right. Seriously... at the beginning of this thread i was disappointed, maybe slightly annoyed. Now I'm angry; we all pay (very) good money for this product and we want answers to our questions.
Rick Mras
He was not mistaken... it really does reboot twice. It did it identically on two test systems; granted, the server warned me this would happen before i did it, but there's no way around it to my knowledge. And given that the WOL functions within Kaseya are marginal at best (even after designing a script that enables WOL on all adapters on all systems), after hours is not a viable option either.

That makes some sense: 1 reboot to remove the old engine and 1 reboot to complete the installation of the new engine (even though KAV prior to 1.3 didn't require a reboot). Combine this with the fact that you can't control when an endpoint gets the upgrade (unless that's new in v1.3) and after-hours installation in the only option we have. We have a three-day weekend coming up that might work, but based on the KAV 1.2 upgrade it's going to take longer than that to upgrade nearly 900 endpoints.
My biggest frustration is that we're more or less being forced to upgrade to v1.3. When we upgraded to v1.2 two weeks ago we immediately found a bug, one that's significantly impacted our helpdesk and has burned Kaseya with dozens of our users (including stakeholders). After two weeks Kaseya confirmed that the bug persists in v1.3 and turned the matter over to their developers. They then came back and said they'll only be patching v1.3 so we needed to upgrade. We need the bug fixed but I'm not certain we'll survive the upgrade. As I said, frustrating.
Bill, can you tell me which bug you're referring to?
I don't see how real time scanning is putting extra stress to file servers? All it does is to check the file user is accessing. This actually puts the stress to client computer. And biggest problem this seems to cause big latency with software which rely on heavy read/write to network or with slow computers. This have to be dealed either with disabling network scanning or with exclusions. Depends by case which method I'd like to use (now can use only one method:)
And I'm mostly pushing client installations with 5min install window and the all seem to get installed during 5-15mins depending on network. Not usable with hundreds of clients I admit that (unless you use those scripts to pre-deliver installation packages). I push installations in smaller batches since most of the computers are laptops nowadays and they are never in one place same time or running without user logged in.
If the Client is scanning a network drive for each file it reads and writes and you have 3000 clients doing it at the same time, you introduce latency for the client (and I can tell you I've seen the problem with Trend, Symantec, Norton, Mcafee and Kaspersky) and file lock issues.
Now..combine that with the fact that the Server is also scanning the same files as the same time and you have 2 different Antivirus products (same vendor usually) and you cause lock issues because 2 products are trying to lock and scan the file as the same time as the user application.
You never run 2 antivirus products on your system at the same time to scan the same files...what makes it ok to do it to the same file with 2 different products.
Granted, in the SMB market it doesn't cause many problems, but I can tell you that CAD and accounting packages really do not like that and will/have crashed.
Inbar Gazit
Bill, can you tell me which bug you're referring to?
CS096708. In short, KAV alerts when threats are discovered but not when they're remediated.
Question to Kaseya - Do you use KAV 1.3 internally across all of your devices?
KAV is installed on my laptop and has been since it was originally released over a year ago. My machine was upgraded to KAV 1.3 several weeks ago. As an end user, the upgrade was transparent (now that I think about it I was prompted to reboot a couple weeks ago, but I did it on my own time) & I have had no issues since it was installed.
Well Max maybe you can have the deployment scripts deployed to your customers too? Because our upgrade process reboots the computer without any warning - It's known too because someone was thoughtful enough to put a warning on the deployment window.
It still hasn't answered my question though - what I was trying to ascertain was whether Kaseya themselves have confidence in their AV solution to deploy it across all of their internal devices as an effective AV solution. I'd love to hear from whoever manages & maintains your internal Kaseya deployment and find out how they configure the additional features of KAV 1.3 that aren't exposed in the Kaseya interface.
Comments inline for your initial post.
- The install is some 140MB with no way to
set an install source
KAV1.3 doesn't have the ability to set the install source or update
source. One of the top requested feature and so we are
working on to get this out in next release. [ Release date TBD, rough guess
around late Q2 or early Q3]
- The client upgrade procedure reboots the
computer twice with no warning to the user. How do you propose we upgrade with
minimal impact?
Reboot is required as it's a consumer version to Corporate
version upgrade. Kaspersky engine requires this reboot and so highly recommend you to
schedule the upgrade during OFF BUSINESS hours.
- The new client has many more features,
including IM AV, Anti-Spam etc. We can enable/ disabled through the profile wizard
but that's it, how do we configure it? KAV1.3 focus was to replace the
old engine and add turn on/off capability for that feature. However, we
understand the lack of mangebility and so planning to get this out in KAV1.4. Majority of the work for the above mentioned
[IM, AV, Anti spam etc] has been already done in our team. Our current plan is to get this out with other
missing manageability features [ + exchange[To Be decided] in controlled release within 2-4 months' time
- The profile wizard still contains only
the most basic settings. How do I configure KAV further than enabling /
disabling an entire component.
More manageability
features in KAV1.4 release. We would like to
hear some early feedback. If interested to participate, please email
meghana.subramanian@kaseya .com .
- Network drive scanning is on by default:
/ Quick scan & Full scan by
default doesn't scan network drive.
By default it's turned on in real time protection.
Your feedback is valuable. Good or Bad, let us know. email firstname.lastname@example.com
Meghana Subramanian
Kaseya Antivirus Team
Straight after installing KAV 1.3 update on our server we noticed several client systems say they no longer had Kaspersky Anti-virus 2010 installed despite it being installed on the actual PC. We couldnt run an "ugrade client version" so we ran an install. It then reports on the Kaseya GUI that Kaspersky Corporate is installed but again once we check the actual PC's it is still running Kaspersky Anti-virus 2010.
I then had to logon to these PC's to uninstall Kaspersky Anti-virus, Kaseya GUI no longer reports Kaseya Coprorate is installled so had to run an installation again.
Looks like I will need to write my own agent procedure for KAV deployment, shame once again we cannot reference system scripts like KAV installations in agent procedures.
Any one else noticing the same problem mentioned above by lenski? Please file a CS ticket and ask to escalate to engineering.
