Inter-app communication is a frequent request from my DPS customers. For instance, they would like to be able to launch Mail with a message already populated, or send a tweet, or post to LinkedIn. While it could be possible to do that within a Web Content Overlay, often times it is preferable to send a request to the native application or service on the device.
iOS applications have a method to allow apps to talk to each other called a Custom URL Scheme. Not all apps make use of this feature, though; it is up to the developer to implement it properly. This method is documented at Apple's Developer Connection, and I have an article in the Adobe Developer Connection that uses the Custom URL Scheme method to navigate within a DPS folio using JavaScript and HTML. This article will discuss communicating with external apps via the Custom URL Scheme.
Some Custom URL Schemes are well understood and have been part of the HTML consciousness for a long time.
are used frequently to send emails and dial a telephone, for instance. I have an article in this blog that talks about using the mailto: Custom URL scheme. How, then, can we use similar methods to communicate with other apps? First, we need to determine the Custom URL Scheme that is registered to an app. Some apps make their Custom URL Schemes well known, like Google Maps. Others do not. You can search for apps and get some help with how to craft a URL at Magnatron's handleOpenURL site. Searching that site for Twitter, for instance, I can see that the native Twitter app uses the "twitter:" scheme and some directives to start the Twitter app and have it so something. Here are some of the commands:
twitter://user?screen_name=jameslockman twitter://timeline twitter://mentions twitter://messages twitter://list?screen_name=jameslockman&slug=abcd twitter://post?message=hello%20world
It's clear that if we know how to properly phrase our request, then we can easily create integrations between DPS apps and other native apps. Armed with the Custom URL Scheme, I decided to try to use it for a specific use case.
I had a request from a customer who needs to launch a Connect meeting on their iPad from a DPS application. The customer wants to provide eLearning content in DPS for offline use, and then provide a button in the DPS folio that will launch Connect Mobile and pre-populate the meeting room information.
I asked around internally, and the Connect Mobile folks were kind enough to provide me with the following Custom URL Scheme for Connect Mobile:
OK, I thought, I'll just make a button in InDesign and set it to go to the URL. Unfortunately, when I tap the button, the colon (":") after "https" didn't pass over to Connect Mobile, so the URL got passed as
In addition, DPS launched an empty Web Overlay so that when I returned to the folio, I had to tap the "Done" button to close the overlay. Not very elegant, and not exactly what I was looking to accomplish.
After some back and forth with a few people on the Connect side (Props to David Knight, Vincent Le Quang and Minh Huynh for taking time out of their busy days to help diagnose the issue) and a lot of trying and failing with variations on escaping the colon character, it dawned on me that the solution was easy and should have been obvious.
When we create a button or hyperlink in InDesign, that button's or hyperlink's URL target gets passed out of the folio and to the Content Viewer, which then passes it on to iOS. This is two steps, and the special character was getting decoded and then left behind, which makes sense. The answer is to use a Web Content Overlay, which provided only one step to iOS as it is a native iOS Webkit Overlay.
I made an HTML snippet, escaped the problematic colon character with %3A, and inserted the HTML (Object>Insert>HTML) into my folio:
tap here to go to the meeting (%3A escaped)
InDesign recognized the inserted HTML as a Web Content Overlay, so all that's left to do is to set the Web Content overlay to auto play. Now, when I tap the link in DPS, my Connect Mobile app launches, the meeting URL is filled in, and all I need to do is tap Next to log in to the room. Once the session is running, I can use the 4 fingered swipe to switch back and forth between the DPS app and Connect. Pretty neat!
In most cases, you should be able to use Custom URL Schemes on buttons and hyperlinks directly from InDesign. However, you may need to put that URL into a Web Content overlay in order to allow special characters to pass out to iOS, and ultimately to your external app. Of course, it is possible to use JavaScript to dynamically compose a Custom URL Scheme request, so expect some more interesting examples from me in the future.

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computational method for predicting how structures behave under loading, vibration, heat, and other physical effects. This technique allows entire designs to be constructed, evaluated, refined, and optimized before being manufactured.
Finite element analysis provides numerical solutions to boundary value problems that model real-world physics as partial differential equations. For computation, FEA breaks the real-world geometries down into meshes or computational grids composed of small elements, such as tetrahedrons. The equations that model the physics of these elements are then assembled into a larger system of equations that models the entire problem. You can use the results of finite element analysis to observe stress, strain, deformation, temperature, and heat flux and to predict whether a structure will fail or work the way it was designed during operation.
A typical workflow in finite element analysis includes importing or creating a geometry, meshing the geometry, applying boundary and initial conditions, solving, and postprocessing results. You can run one analysis or multiple analyses in parallel to perform a design of experiments (DOE) study. You can customize or automate any of the steps of the workflow to extend your simulation capabilities.
To learn more about mechanical stress and heat transfer, see Partial Differential Equation Toolbox™ and Parallel Computing Toolbox™.

To the editor: I would just like to share that there are still good people out in todays world. On Jan. 11 I was in town with some friends for a birthday party. As the night came to a close and I proceeded to my car, I must have dropped my wallet and hadn't realized it. The next morning, a gentleman pulled into my driveway and asked my husband if I resided at the current address. When my husband told him that I did, the gentleman stated that he had found my wallet downtown late last evening and wanted to return it. The wallet contained cash, credit cards, gift cards and checks and everything was still in it when he returned it to me.
I wasn't able to meet this gentleman as I was inside when he spoke with my husband so I am not even sure of his name but I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, It really is nice to know that there are still honest people in todays crazy world. You have definitely done your good act of kindness for 2013.

To the editor: Thank you for your editorial of 1-13-13 " Mentally ill are ill nonetheless". You outlined the problems well, but you all but ignored the solution. "We understand that dollars are tight and there is little to be squeezed from the state budget at the moment" is an accurate statement (applicable to any year over the past 50 as care for the mentally ill has steadily declined) but fails to address realistically that the problem will never be ameliorated without added revenue in the form of broad based tax reform including sales and, or income. Until that happens (perhaps never) the money will not be there.
I imagine the reality is difficult to deal with from your conservative perspective, but what do you suggest as options? I would like to hear them as long as they do not include the usual baloney of cutting waste and inefficiency which might pay the salaries of a couple of nurses aides for a year.
A partial solution might be to mandate that all community hospitals have fully staffed psychiatric units with some percentage of their beds devoted to psychiatric patient care. Hospitals would fight this as they can't make money at it as they do by overcharging and over-ordering lab and imaging procedures, and in some cases unnecessary therapeutic procedures paid for by insurance, Medicare and Medicaid.
It seems an abomination that Wentworth Douglass Hospital can spend $60 million on a new wing with an auditorium, library, garden and unnecessarily oversized patient rooms when the mentally ill are consigned to the ER or police station.
I'm not rich but I would welcome a sales and, or progressive state income tax if it would provide improved funding for families with disabled children, education and treatment of the mentally ill.
I look forward to hearing alternative options, but lacking any other realistic proposals perhaps you might consider promoting long overdue sources of revenue.

To the editor: The Democrats in the N. H. Statehouse are looking to raise taxes on us again. This scheme to steal our money, is to raise taxes on beer.
They say the increase will go to raise money to educate us on the dangers of alcohol consumption. But taxes will not be raised on hard liquor or wine. This is because the State of New Hampshire owns the distributions rights on these two items.
The Democrats want to control our lives. Our elected employees are working against us. Every ban they put on us, every tax raised on us, every firearms restriction, every limitation on the expression of religion, permitting voter fraud, is one more link added to the chain of slavery.
Republicans need to stand up and fight for our Liberties! Some will, some will not. It is up to us, the legal voters to make our voices heard. No more taxes, no more bans, enforce equally the laws we have. If you cannot do this, we will vote in those who can. Freedom is not free. We all must be willing to pay for it.
Paul Horvath
To the editor: I am writing in response to the article on Jan. 8 "Aquatics for all time: $14 million proposal for Dover won't be built with taxpayers' funds". Unfortunately, we have heard this story too many times before. To name just a few projects, the second rink at Dover arena, the dredge spoil cell, the Children's Museum, a $4M bridge to an empty waterfront lot, and the grand pappy of them all ... the McConnell Center, were all built with grand promises of little or no cost to taxpayers. But when the best laid plans went awry, taxpayers were left holding the bag. Any agreements to build this aquatic center must protect the taxpayers from future "bailouts". Also, who will cover the costs to maintain, close down or retrofit the existing facilities?
Don't get me wrong, this aquatic center sounds really nice, and having it in Dover would be excellent. But it would be even more excellent for our students to have up to date curriculum, current technology, enough teachers and modern facilities. Given a choice of where to spend taxpayer money, I would invest in education, not in staffing, operating, and maintaining an aquatic center.
If you agree, please take a few minutes to email or call your ward councilors.

To the editor: The single biggest threat to the state is the fact that someone like Democrat Cynthia Chase, who unapologetically espouses restricting the freedoms of citizens who disagree with her views, could be elected to the Legislature.
Patsy Pratt
To the editor: In the aftermath of recent efforts to avoid our nations fiscal cliff, and as a preliminary to the forthcoming discussions in regard to debt ceiling limits, it may be prudent to reflect upon what has thus far transpired, and what may further transpire if we continue along our current path.
Some years ago, within the society of which we are a direct descendant, a term was coined to describe the fiscal policies of the Tudor and Stuart monarchs of England. This term, "fiscal feudalism", was applied to policies whereby the finances of government were diverted from their usual channels and used instead for the purchase of political allies and friends by the extensive use of donatives. Through the use of such policies, the English monarchs sought to retain political popularity, and hence dominance, through the fair and easy employment of political pledges to win support. This practice was of course dependent upon the need for greater and greater amounts of government spending, and hence the greater and greater need for tax revenue. In essence, fiscal feudalism created conditions which eventually led to over population, over regulation, and over taxation.
Even to the untrained eye we find within our own institutions of government the elements of fiscal feudalism. We find it at the highest levels of government, with the awarding of lucrative government contracts and the appointment of individuals to positions of influence and power. We see its existence also at the lower levels of government, where city councilors and selectmen are allowed to use their private companies to perform work within the limits of the municipalities of which they are elected to represent. The fact of political party and faction can also be ascertained in this financial plague that continues to descend upon us.
It is my belief that the continued effort of party to brand those who adhere t the policies of fiscal restraint as being unfriendly to the needs of the public may prove to be our collective undoing. Will it be of any advantage to us if a tipping point should be reached where in those safeguards required to assure succor to the poor become fiscally impossible? Is it our fervent desire that the old lines of division between wealthy and poor become erased until such time as the maladies of financial discomfort become the fate of all alike? Is it our fondest hope that those elements of society needed for the advancement of commerce and the protection of private property be removed? These are but a few of the questions which need to be asked in the weeks to come.
Michael Hastings
To the editor: The three Swift Boating Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte are at it again. This same triumvirate just completed a political hatchet job (see upcoming special election for Massachusetts' Senate Seat currently held by John Kerry) on the uniquely qualified UN Ambassador Susan Rice; forcing her to withdraw herself from consideration to replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. Now, they, along with a group of Neoconservatives, are attempting to block the appointment of former Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel from the Secretary of Defense position being vacated by Leon Panetta.
This would be a travesty as Senator Hagel is immensely qualified to serve as President Obama's Secretary of Defense. Having been an Army enlisted ground pounder and twice wounded (still carries around shrapnel in his chest) during the Vietnam War, Sergeant Hagel knows, as well as anyone, the true gravity and cost of war. While in the U.S. Senate, he was a distinguished member of the Foreign Relations and Intelligence Committees. He also demonstrated courage and conviction by defying his own party on its ill-advised Iraq policy, which is what most likely earned him the ire of the said Senators.
President Obama recognizes that Hagel, who possesses sound judgment and independence, would be a tremendous asset to his national defense team and the perfect person to assist in bringing the costly 11-year-old Afghanistan War to a successful conclusion, as promised. Hagel, with longtime involvement in veteran's affairs, is deeply committed to America's service members, military families and veterans. The President expressed his support of Hagel stating, "Maybe most importantly, Chuck knows that war is not an abstraction. He understands that sending young Americans to fight and bleed in the dirt and mud, that's something we only do when it's absolutely necessary. "
The 2012 elections are long over and now it's time for the GOP to knock off the obstructionism and allow the executive branch to perform the people's business. Chuck Hagel needs to be swiftly confirmed by the Senate — not Swift Boated — as the first enlisted soldier as Secretary of Defense.

Tarot Chords lay before you to conjure more than what we currently have. They tell of a future unlike our own. A future we're in dire need of. The tale of renaissance and the cold rediscovery of the creative spirit. Witch house, drag, ghost drone, dark wave, dark snyth, witch bass, zombie rave and sometimes even seapunk will find their way into the notes of this feature. These sounds are brought to "life" by composers who not only to test the boundaries of music today, but most importantly the paradigms that envelope it.
The flashy and classy character of Tennis Rodman dropped by the Tarot Chords house with his new record I Eat Gold. I've been checking out his flavor ever since his Japan song. He has earned respect in the supernatural music realm after creating a slimepunk villian for the oh so flamboyant seapunks. His hip-hop base gives him more of a sound that people just dipping their feet in the water will enjoy. Enjoy the Earmilk exclusive.

NegrilIt used to be that nude sunbathing, marijuana, and uninhibited pursuits of pleasure were the norm in Negril, on the western tip of Jamaica. Well, guess what? They still are!—even if there is an encroaching sense of corporate responsibility now that the megaresorts have moved in. Still, the white sands of Seven Mile Beach, offering a rich palette of blues and greens, are very much a place where one can let one's hair (or more) down during the day. And at night from the Negril hotels, reggae and dance parties abound. Here, too, one finds the best snorkeling and scuba diving in Jamaica. And what a setting for it—tranquil lagoons protected by coral reef set against a backdrop of sea grapes and coconut palms. In a word, it's all quite romantic. Little surprise then that singles soon become couples dashing back to their hotels in Negril. Below find a list of our selection of boutique and luxury Negril hotels.

Why Must This Prince's Wife Pay With her Life for Someone Else?
Just after he fell into the water, Xuan Tian Ming immediately moved his wheelchair and flew toward the middle of the river. Grabbing hold of the unsteady and falling Feng Yu Heng, he placed her on his lap.
The little girl blinked at him a few times, and Xuan Tian Ming held her even tighter. Hugging her, they landed back on the ground.
The river was flowing fast, and the dwarf immediately fell silent upon landing in the water. In fact, there wasn't even much of a splash, as he was swallowed up by the waves.
Yao shi was completely dazed. Was… was this a murder?
Qing Lan could see that there was something off about Yao shi's expression and quickly said to her in a quiet voice: "Madam, young miss almost fell into the water too."
But Yao shi did not have time to worry about such things. She only focused on Feng Yu heng committing murder. Her mind was filled with images of Feng Yu Heng throwing that child into the water. She began to feel afraid. In the end, a child that she had just met could not compare to her own daughter. Although she suspected something about this daughter, they were still just suspicions. Now that something had happened, her maternal instincts were awoken once again. She rushed forward to kneel before Xuan Tian Ming; however, Wang Chuan was quick to react and stopped her, "Madam, what are you doing?"
Yao shi begged Xuan Tian Ming: "Just treat that child as though I killed it, is that okay? Do not arrest A-Heng. I know that one must pay with their life for committing murder, so just let me pay my life for this! A-Heng is still young. She cannot die because of a child!"
These words caused Feng Yu Heng to feel a bit shocked, and she felt a little bit moved. Previously, Yao shi had expressed that there was a divide between the two. In the face of danger, it was completely erased.
She suddenly understood that Yao shi indeed had considerations because she was unlike her original daughter, and these considerations were not formed in just a day or two. A mother knew her daughter best. She believed that Yao shi already began to have doubts on the road back to the capital from Xi Ping Village. She just chose to go with the flow.
Although she went with the flow, there was still a knot in her heart. After the incident with spirit-altering drug, with something that could amplify her inner thoughts countless times, even if she did get over her addiction, those inner thoughts would not go away as they had in the past.
That was why Yao shi argued with her and also why she wanted to accompany Zi Rui in Xiao Zhou.
Fortunately, Yao shi was still kind. When she realized that Feng Yu Heng was in danger, she was immediately able to put her life on the line for the sake of her daughter's life. Of course, it was this kindness that caused Feng Yu Heng to view her as more motherly.
Xuan Tian Ming let go of Feng Yu Heng and said to Yao shi with a serious expression: "Madam has been overanxious. If this prince had the intention of having her pay with her life, I would not have saved her. Moreover, why must this prince's wife pay with her life for someone else?"
Yao shi rejoiced, "Your Highness means that A-Heng will not need to be punished for murdering someone? Thank you, your Highness. Thank you, your Highness." Saying this, she kneeled once more.
Feng Yu Heng went forward to hold her up and very helplessly said: "Mother, there are some things that I do not tell you because knowing is too dangerous, and I am worried of scaring you. It's a barren mountain in the wilderness. Where would a child come from? That path is an official road. Although there is a small stretch with a cliff, criminals would not act so blatantly and hang someone from the cliff. There is a trick involved."
Hearing her say this, Yao shi began to think, but she was unable to develop a deeper understanding. While thinking, she shook her head.
At this time, Huang Quan, who had been standing at the side of the river, suddenly shouted: "Quickly, come look!"
Everyone was attracted by this shout. Following Huang Quan's direction, they found that in the middle of the river, the dwarf was firmly holding a rock and desperately trying to protect his own life.
Upon seeing this scene, Yao shi was unable to endure. She repeatedly begged Feng Yu Heng: "Even if he is a bad person, it would be fine to bring him back and send him to the government office. We cannot leave someone to die without saving them! A-Heng, when we were sent to the Northwest, your younger brother was about his age. Just treat him as though he was Zi Rui, is that fine?"
Feng Yu Heng furrowed her brow and was thinking of how to refute Yao shi, or she could stall for a little longer until the dwarf could no longer hold on and ended up getting swept away by the river. At this time, Xuan Tian Ming suddenly said: "Madam is right, we cannot leave someone to die without saving them."
"Hm?" She was puzzled and turned to look at him; however, she found that he had a cunning look in his eyes. Feng Yu Heng immediately understood that this person definitely had a plan, thus she quickly said to Wang Chuan: "Go save that person."
Wang Chuan said: "Yes." Then flew up and easily brought the dwarf back.
The dwarf's face had turned white from fear and could not think to act spoiled with Yao shi. He only sat on the ground and trembled. However, this sight caused Yao shi to feel even more heartbroken, as she quickly informed Qing Lan: "Quickly, go to the carriage and fetch a blanket. How could it be good for such a young person to freeze like this." She then said to A-Heng: "His body is soaked, so it would be inconvenient for him to sit in your imperial carriage. He should remain with me."
Feng Yu Heng no longer rebutted Yao shi. Instead, she said to Wang Chuan and Huang Quan: "You two stay with madam. Madam has only just recovered from her illness and absolutely must not do something tiring like carrying a child.
The two servants complied, and everyone got back into their carriages, not wanting to continue staying there.
Once the carriages started moving, Feng Yu Heng immediately asked Xuan Tian Ming: "What is your plan?"
Xuan Tian Ming shook his head, "I still haven't finished thinking of my plan. I just suddenly remembered something."
"What is it?"
"I heard that Qian Zhou brought Kang Yi's dowry and sent the gold to the county princess' manor. The special envoy sent was a relative of the imperial family and some officials. There was also the relative's grandson?"
Feng Yu Heng said: "The news was like this." Thinking a little harder, she seemed to have understood what Xuan Tian Ming meant, "You are thinking that this person is the grandson from Qian Zhou? That's not right, he's clearly a dwa…" She spoke to this point then suddenly stopped. She immediately thought of something and quickly said: "You mean to say that Qian Zhou presented this person as the grandson, but this is actually the eldest son of the imperial family? That dwarf is not the relative's grandson, it is his son?"
Xuan Tian Ming nodded, "It's possible that this is the case. Also, just from looking at the dwarf, it is clear that he came straight at us. Or rather… rushed straight at you."
Feng Yu Heng sniffled a bit, "Is it to get revenge for Kang Yi and Ru Jia?"
"Revenge is just one of the goals." Xuan Tian Ming coldly said: "I fear that they came because of your steel. In other words, even if they cannot acquire the ability to produce steel, they must kill you, who knows how to produce steel."
Feng Yu Heng trembled, "How scary!"
Xuan Tian Ming laughed, "That's right! This prince is also very scared!"
On this side, they were laughing and messing around. As for the dwarf that was riding in a carriage with Yao shi, he was held from both sides by Wang Chuan and Huang Quan. His heart was on the verge of collapse.
That county princess Ji An was slippery like a ghost. That ninth prince was dark and evil and was even more like a ghost. At first, he thought of taking action against Yao shi. As a result, two servants that were even harder to deal with than ghosts came along. Damn it, he definitely did not revisit old debts before he took action this time, otherwise, how could he have fallen on such poor luck.
Yao shi saw that his complexion was not quite right and asked out of curiosity: "Could it be that you are not feeling well?"
The dwarf did not speak. He no longer had the patience to continue pretending to be a young child acting spoiled. He had been thinking that if he kidnapped Yao shi, would Feng Yu Heng hand over the methods for producing steel? If that was not enough, he would simply just kill Yao shi. Even if he could not receive the methods for producing steel, he would need to disgust her. Qian Zhou's princess had been bullied so thoroughly by her. Using this woman's life in exchange for the injuries on Ru Jia's body was not a bad deal.
A cold light erupted from the dwarf's eyes. Clenching his fists tight, he began to move slowly but with purpose. Perhaps he was not Huang Quan and Wang Chuan's opponent when it came to a normal fight, and he definitely could not handle Xuan Tian Ming or Feng Yu Heng, but when it came to sneak attacks and escaping, none were his opponent. He finished scheming. Although there were servants on both sides of him, he could still attack Yao shi when catching them unaware. If nothing went wrong, Yao shi should meet with a violent end. After succeeding, he could immediately escape. Even if the two servants died of exhaustion, they could not catch him.
Previously, Yao shi had been worried that he was cold, so she covered him in a blanket. This perfectly managed to hide him secretly dislocating his bones. The dwarf was very happy. In fact, he could already imagine Feng Yu Heng going insane from seeing her mother dying such a tragic death. His lips curled subconsciously into a smile.
Unfortunately, he had only just dislocated his joints when someone suddenly flashed before his eyes. Reaching out, they reached out and touched his arms a bit. This happened to hit the funny bone in his elbow. The joints that he had dislocated were immediately returned to their original positions.
He was very shocked, as he looked up at the person that had suddenly appeared. He could determine that this person was not originally part of Feng Yu Heng's group; however, he had now appeared. That could only mean one thing. This person was a hidden guard.
The dwarf no longer dared to act rashly. He knew that if this hidden guard did anything, it was very possible that he would not even know how he had died.
Sitting in the carriage, Yao shi was confused as to why Ban Zou had suddenly appeared. Before she could ask, she heard Ban Zou said: "Master said that a very ugly child appeared, so I came to take a look."
The dwarf heard someone say that he was ugly, causing his face to turn green with anger, but what could he do? Aside from Yao shi, this group of people was all too fierce. Each one was stronger than the next. It seemed that this attempt had truly been too rash.
The dwarf began to feel regretful. He should have listened to his father and not done something this rash. Now, he was in for it. He did not succeed. When he returned, he would definitely be reprimanded and laughed at.
The two carriages quickly advanced, finally arriving at the capital's gates in the evening.
Xuan Tian Ming's imperial carriage was in front, and Yao shi's carriage was in the back. They heard a buzz coming from outside the city's gates, as there was a confused noise coming from the civilians. Bai Ze, who was driving the carriage, gently lifted the curtain and said to the people inside: "I don't know what they're looking for, but they are carefully searching the carriages that are entering and exiting the capital."
Feng Yu heng walked over to the side of the carriage and looked out. There just happened to be a soldier outside the gates walking over. At a glance, it was clear that this soldier was a rash individual, as he pointed his spear at Bai Ze and loudly said: "Stop the carriage! Everyone inside must come out!"
Bai Ze immediately laughed, "Where did this little brat come from?"
That person heard this and angrily stomped his feet, loudly saying: "Guards! There is a group of criminals here. Quickly surround them!"
The other guards heard that there were criminals and quickly gathered around, each of them pointing their spears at the imperial carriage with alert looks on their faces.
Feng Yu Heng patted Bai Ze's shoulder, telling him to stop talking for now. She then took the initiative to ask: "What exactly are you looking for by blocking the entrance of the city?"
"Hmph!" A soldier coldly said: "The grandson of Qian Zhou's imperial family was kidnapped, and orders have come from above that every carriage entering or leaving the city must be searched. Not a single one can be let through! You lot, quickly get out of the carriage!"
"Grandson of Qian Zhou's imperial family?" Feng Yu Heng raised her voice to ask him: "You are saying that you are blocking the gate to the city for the citizens, causing them to not be able to live peacefully because of the grandson of Qian Zhou's imperial family?"
"That's right!" The soldier raised his head and did not feel as though he had said anything wrong. He even loudly said: "The grandson of Qian Zhou's imperial family is of noble status. How could these lowly commoners compare to the small matters that may have happened to him!" Moreover, the relative of the Qian Zhou's imperial family had said that anyone who could bring back the grandson would receive 100 taels of gold. That was gold!
As a result, after he said this, he saw the girl standing on the carriage suddenly change her expression. A faint haze covered her handsome face, as she patted the driver and loudly said: "Bai Ze, beat him!"

Yesterday I went to an internal event about Social Media for staff from a cross section of departments within the local authority organised by marketing and communications and facilitated by Public -i . Within the Youth Service, as many readers of this blog will know, we've been looking at how we can use social / digital media for some time to engage and work with young people so I was very interested to see our organisational approach and understand what more we need to do.
I have been mulling over the various discussions and trying to make sense of what I was hearing.
I think I was surprised (although I'm not sure why) by the basics that we were discussing re Social Media. The first part of the session was spent ensuring that people had a level of understanding around Blogs, Social Networking sites, the internet space, forums, etc which I had assumed people would already know. Time was also spent looking at the potential of developing and enlarging the networks available on the net to reach a wider audience and engage others in our debates and service developments. One of the local sites mentioned was Jon Jollys blog as an example of reaching a wide range of people involved in a particular area of work. Another was Adur Voluntary Action. The day progressed with quizzes that supported peoples' understanding of how wide ranging social networks are and why we should be involved in them as an organisation.
There followed some interesting discussions about brand / identity and how much you can or can't control the space. I was particularly interested in Catherine Howe's take on online and offline identity which she has blogged about here. This has given me food for thought and is quite pertinent to some of the discussions we have had at Youth Work Online where there are various discussions about professional boundaries, identity and working with young people. Whilst I understand what Catherine is saying about some of the issues of identity I feel that her discussions don't go broad enough and tackle the issues of identity in the context of service delivery and engaging with young people and other vulnerable groups online. In my opinion the need for safety and safeguarding should be as paramount in online spaces as offline. This in itself will require separation between professional and personal identities which I think is something that can be difficult to understand. Consequently any developing training for youth workers should consider and deliver on this subject.
Sticking with the theme of identity we looked at branding and what this actually meant in online spaces. At the moment we have (as I am sure so most local authorities) a large number of policies and procedures for publishing and creating press releases and other marketing material. The majority of these are designed to protect the brand, reputation, professionalism and view of our organisation. These policies seem to come adrift in the world of Social Media which by its very nature is about others developing and sharing content with little control over where it goes. A draft policy for servivces developing work using social media sites was then issued for discussion. I was, and still am, surprised that this perpetuated the idea of marketing being about broadcasting and sending out info with little about how to enagage and involve our clients. A corporate approach was also being promoted with little understanding and guidance about using social media for professional development and networking.
At the end of the day I think I gained a better understanding of where we stand corporately with regards to Social Media. The Youth Service has already been tackling some of the issues re identity, co-design, participation and delivering services online. Whilst no means there I think we are clearer about what we need to think about and ways in which we might achieve this. And finally, although we already have links with our Marketing and Communications services I feel that now the time is ripe to work with them even closer in order to really move forward in the modernisation of our services.

A bone scan is a test that detects areas of increased or decreased bone activity. These may indicate bone injury or disease. Radioactive isotopes and tracer chemicals are used to highlight problem areas.
The test is done to detect an abnormal process involving your bone, including the following:
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely risk free. If you are planning to have a bone scan, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Some people worry about the use of radioactive material in a bone scan. The amount of radioactivity is small, though larger than you would receive from common x-ray procedures, like a chest x-ray or dental x-ray. The radioactive material is eliminated from the body within 2-3 days.
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the test.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. You may need to discard breast milk for several days after a bone scan.
Tell your doctor if you have recently had anything that contains barium, such as contrast dye or bismuth.
Three hours before the scan, you will receive an injection of radioactive tracer chemicals. You should drink plenty of fluids between the time of the injection and the scan. You will also be asked to empty your bladder before the scan.
You will lie on your back on an imaging table. A camera above and below the table will slowly scan you. You may be asked to move into various positions as the scan is done. It is important to lie still when not told to move. The camera will be able to detect small amounts of radioactivity in the injected material. This will allow the doctor to see areas where there may be bone injury or disease.
The injection site will be checked for redness and swelling.
You will be in the scanner for 20-60 minutes. Sometimes another scan is done after 24 hours.
No. The test is painless, except for the mild discomfort of the injection.
If your bone tissue is healthy, your scan will show that the chemical has spread evenly to all of your bones. If there is an area of disease, darker or lighter areas (hot or cold spots) will be seen on the scan. These will show the areas with abnormally active bone breakdown or repair.
Call your doctor if you have questions about the test, your condition, or your test results.
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

It Was All The Same, But Then The Antidote Came
On a scale of one to ten, fresh joints by The Roots deserve at least an eleven. At callmeMICKEY, you can download "Don't Feel Right", a phenomenal track that you should cop without a second thought. Set it in motion...it's the next movement, y'all: http://callmemickey.blogspot.com/2006/05/mp3quickie-roots-new-roots-jam.html.
And for nostalgic purposes, a few classic Roots videos:
"Clones": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4incsYE7LoM&search=the%20roots%20.
"Proceed": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61D7ZU5AhkQ&search=the%20roots%20.
"The Next Movement": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suKOImV9kxM&search=the%20roots%20.
Also recently circulating around the internets is the new Pharrell track (feat. Kanye West)---"Number 1". This particular joint doesn't impress me all that much, partly because it sounds like a recycled version of "Frontin'", but you can judge for yourself. The song is currently available at Think Tank, along with a link to Neiles Life, where you can download six other mp3s by "The Ice Cream Man":
Kanye's been disappointing me quite a bit lately, but I can't front on "Grammy Family" (w/ Consequence and John Legend) for even a second. On the real, son...dat shit is cooler than a fan. You can cop it courtesy of Spine Magazine, along with the best Obie Trice song I've heard lately ("Cry Now"), and CL Smooth's "American Me":
Ear Fuzz recently posted a couple of tracks by a group whose excellence is often overlooked---Bloodstone. Since Kanye's name has been all up in this post already, I feel inclined to mention that Mr. West sampled one of their songs on T.I.'s "Doin' My Job". Download "Tell It to My Face" and "Ran It in the Ground" here: http://www.earfuzz.com/2006/05/running-it-in-ground.html.
Download "Shakey Ground" by The Temptations at fiftyone:fiftyone: http://fiftyonefiftyone.blogspot.com/2006/05/funkin-around.html.

Since the final music link I posted is a mix paying homage to graffiti artists, I thought it would be appropriate to post a link to one of the most popular sites dedicated to this somewhat controversial art form.

Check out Will Durst's article "Impeachment? Hell No, Impalement", in which he gives an exhaustive list of reasons why we are (and should be) sick of George W. Bush: http://www.workingforchange.com/article.cfm?itemid=20489.
At Typebrighter.com, you can see some of the ugliest, freakiest, and stupidest tattoos you can possibly imagine. What kind of dumbass gets a breakfast plate tattoed on the top of his head? What kind of twisted pervert gets a tattoo of Michael Jackson fondling Macaulay Culkin on his leg? Behold the insanity of it all:

Hey Scholar,
Nice post! I must stay that I've never heard of Slim Harpo before. But then I'm barely a dilettante when it comes to the blues.
I can't imagine what absurd cross of wires in someone's head would cause them to get an egg breakfast tattooed on their head. Doesn't it occur to them that they might go bald?? I think they may as well tattoo "STAY BACK!" on their foreheads.
Happy sunday.

Firpo--I'm not very knowledgeable about the blues either. I tend to like the blues best when it's fused with another genre, which means that I've probably overlooked quite a few classic artists and recordings.
Those tattoos are an absolutely frightening commentary on humanity. In addition to the ones that are in poor taste, I'm also intrigued by those that are poor quality. I used to live in a rural area, and everyone in the cornfield had homemade tattoos. Bizarre.
hey scholar, thanks for the linkage to Mars!
albeit belated,
happy enron-robber-barons-might-go-to-prison-for-life day!

Firpo---cheers to that!!!

The "Flathead Run" is Sunday May 6 . We meet at the Wafal House on 301 and 75 in Ellenton. The gang should be there at 8:30 am. If you can make the ride thats great, if you just want to come out and say hello thats cool too. If you decided to ride you must be on a flathead-thats the only rule.
My cell # is 727-239-2932
If its raining , you wont see me.
Thanks for the letter. Steve is a great guy, glad to hear he's still around. I'll have to give him a call as it's been awhile since I've spoken with him.
I've been thinking about the Flatheaad run this year, and I've been trying to get the Schebler carb sorted out on my '40 Chief. It's a bit hard to get too excited about that run because it's so damn hot by that time. I should probably take off my frilly apron and man-up, and join the ride this year.
Hey Eric
I just had a guy in my office and we were talkin bikes and he mentioned Hendersons. I showed him a you tube vid of mine and he says
I used to have a neighbor in Orlando who was into Hendersons -his name was Eric Smith. I ask him if he knew if Eric lived in Sarasota ? He said yes.
His name is Stephen Grandoff 813-855-5054
So are you going to ride on the Flat Head Run this year -fist Sunday in May.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) is deploying more information technology to handle trades and manage its capital as the firm cuts its payroll, CEO Lloyd Blankfein said on Tuesday.
The firm is hiring additional technology workers while cutting its total payroll, Blankfein said at an investor conference. Total staff at the investment bank was down 8 percent at the end of September to 32,600 people from 35,500 in June 2011, he said.
Goldman has deployed technology systems to show the impact of buying, selling or holding individual securities on regulatory measurements of bank assets. The information is being used to improve Goldman's capital strength as measured under new standards being imposed by regulators, he said.
At the same time, trading currently done with "high touch" by individuals will increasingly be done with computers. Roughly 65 percent of the firm's equity trading for clients now goes through what Goldman calls "low touch" electronic channels, he said.
In response to a question, Blankfein said he "would be shocked" if federal government officials do not to find a solution to the approaching Federal fiscal cliff when tax rates are scheduled to spike and government spending plunge on December 31.
He said, however, that the Goldman expects a lot of uncertainty about the outcome of talks in Washington before a deal is reached. "We are at least braced for a ride here," Blankfein said. (Reporting by Lauren Tara LaCapra and David Henry in New York; Editing by Marguerita Choy)

"Others have scalability, analytics and collaboration but require multiple technologies that create headaches for IT. 'Tagetik 4.0 Enabled by Microsoft® SharePoint® Server 2010' is a software solution both Finance and IT can agree on."

When Command & Conquer was released several months ago it got very mixed reviews (by the way, look forward to our review soon). While EA has nailed the interface dead on and the basic mechanics were all there, the amount of content was widely criticized, especially considering the lack of C&C's most attractive feature: multiplayer. They later remedied in part the last issue in the 1.1 update by adding local multiplayer over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth but the other issue remained – the game featured only 5 campaign missions for each side and 2 skirmish maps. Well, without much fanfare EA has released a DLC content pack entitled Emperor of the Rising Sun which adds a whole new playable side with new units and a whole new 5 mission campaign. And all of that for just (?) $2.99.
Full DLC pack details with screens after the gap.

When users start a potentially lengthy operation, the user interface should be updated to reflect that work is in progress and that results may not be available for a while. Implementing this pattern is relatively easy in Windows applications, but not in Web applications.
In Web applications, displaying a static text such as "Please, wait" just before the operation begins is easy, but what if you want to display the percentage of work done?
In Web applications, lengthy tasks occur on the server. No server environment provides facilities to push state information to the client browser. At the same time, there's no easy way either for a client to grab status information and update a progress bar.
As a result, it is up to the developer devising and implementing a solution. The Progress Indicator pattern offers guidance on how to structure the JavaScript client and the server application so that they can share information about server progress and report that information timely to the user.
The idea behind the pattern is that you design the lengthy task to expose some information about its progress. In other words, the code that implements the task doesn't include only functional steps. Instead, functional steps are intertwined with calls to an API that exposes progress information. The pattern also suggests you employ a second component that from the client monitors any exposed information by essentially polling the server.
The progress API is made of two distinct set of functions -- one for the client and one for the server. The server API offers a class through which the task can save its progress. The class gets status information and saved it somewhere -- be it a database table, a disk file, or perhaps an in-memory buffer such as the ASP.NET Cache. The server API also must expose an HTTP endpoint for the client monitor to poll to know about the status of the ongoing task.
In ASP.NET, the task can take the following form:
void ExecuteTask(int taskID, /* params */ ...) { ProgressMonitor progMonitor = new ProgressMonitor(); progMonitor.SetStatus(taskID, "5%"); DoFirstStep(...); : progMonitor.SetStatus(taskID, "100%"); DoFinalStep(...); }
The ProgressMonitor class writes to a known location any information it receives from the task. On the server, you also need a service that can be called from JavaScript. The purpose of this service is reading the status of the task and return that to the client for UI updates. The simplest way to do this is creating a Web service that uses the ProgressMonitor class to read what a given task has saved.
For the whole machinery to work, the task must be uniquely identified with an ID. The ID must be passed to the task when it is first started. Hence, the task ID must be generated on the client. The JavaScript's Math.random function is the tool to use.
Right after starting the remote task, the client activates a monitoring channel which makes periodical calls to previously created Web service. In this way, the user interface knows in real time what's going on in the server. A piece of user interface is then updated to reflect the information imported from the server. The layout of this piece of user interface can be defined at will. It can be a progress bar (that is a HTML table) or a plain label. It is up to you how you represent the information; the trickiest part is bringing that the right server information down to the client.
