DIA preparing to jump into IC's new IT environment
Thursday - 5/9/2013, 9:43pm EDT
The Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency will be among the first agencies to move their top secret/sensitive compartmentalized information into ICITE's environment in late fiscal 2013.
"ICITE will deliver the intelligence community cloud," said Grant Schneider, the DIA's chief information officer. "We've got a couple of initial data sets we will put on there as a community, and then we'll start transitioning individual agency capabilities after that, so really into fiscal 2014."
He said DIA and NGA are the service providers for the desktop environment and are working to deliver it by the end of this year.
"We recently provided the security documentation to the DNI for certification, and we've been working through some functional and security testing so we can meet that initial operating capability date," Schneider said. "That delivery of IOC, which will be about a little over 2,000 customers, is our prime focus this summer."
He said DIA and NGA will develop for the rest of the intelligence community a virtual desktop, email services, home directory, Sharepoint, and eventually unified communications, on to the existing thin client environment.
"We've broken the desktop delivery into two phases. Phase 1 being DIA and NGA. Phase 2 being where we will expand to the rest of the community. Phase 1 we are doing with our existing hardware, infrastructure and our existing resources to deliver that resources," Schneider said. "For phase 2, there will be a major acquisition and we are looking to have that RFP on the street really in the next four-to-six months, and hoping to have an award six months after that, and start delivering capabilities six months after that."
He said DIA has held several industry days already about the solicitation.
DIA will continue to use its current cloud infrastructure, called Orion, for its secret and unclassified domains.
"We certainly expect that we will have to expand the ICITE initiative beyond the TS/SCI environment," he said. "What that will look like and how we will partner with the DoD in the future because Teri Takai, as the DoD CIO, has the joint information environment, which we are also employing in the DoD space to be sure that our collateral, secret and unclassified capabilities are aligned architecturally with what she's doing."
Schneider said Orion is showing DIA the benefits, both in terms of cost and efficiencies, of a virtualized and cloud environment.
"We are totally in sync with where we will end up to and as soon as we possibly can, we will get our capabilities onto the IC version," he said. "We are seeing both cost savings and ease of administration, which is driving the cost savings."
But even with the success of Orion, the future is ICITE.
Schneider said Orion is DIA's ICITE transition strategy.
Schneider said that's why DIA's $6.6 billion SITE contract for IT services will merge into an intelligence communitywide procurement effort as well.
"One of the initiatives that the ODNI is leading and is pulling together, and basically issued some data calls to us, to collect our contract data so that we can start to align not just the DIA contracts, but what are the community contracts we have across different agencies so we can award some community contracts for services of common concern," he said.

When the NCAA's long-awaited decision arrived Tuesday morning, Miami athletic director Blake James realized it was what he expected all along.
"Fair," James said. "But significant."
And final. The Miami-NCAA saga is over.
Read: NCAA infractions report | Vote: UM sanctions |
More than 2½ years after former booster and convicted felon Nevin Shapiro contacted the NCAA from prison and began detailing his role in rampant rule-breaking by those involved with Miami's football and men's basketball programs, the Hurricanes got their final penalties. The most notable sanctions are the nine lost football scholarships over three years and one lost basketball scholarship in each of the next three seasons.
A three-year probation and some recruiting restrictions are also part of the penance.
But for the first time since 2010, Miami's football team — currently undefeated and ranked No. 7 nationally — will be heading to a bowl game.
Photos:Timeline of investigation
"I want to sincerely thank our student-athletes and their families who, not only stood with the University of Miami during this unprecedented challenge, but subsequently volunteered for the mission," Miami football coach Al Golden said in a statement released by school officials. "They shouldered the burden, exhibited class and exemplified perseverance for Hurricanes everywhere. "
Miami said in February that it would appeal any sanction beyond what it had already self-imposed. Over time, that stance softened, and the Hurricanes are accepting what the NCAA handed down.
No appeal is coming, at least not by the Hurricanes.
Four former Miami coaches, including Missouri basketball coach Frank Haith, still have the right to appeal sanctions that were brought against them. Three former assistant coaches all got two-year show-cause bans for ethics violations, including Clint Hurtt, who's part of the staff at Louisville.
"It's relief that we finally have a decision," Miami President Donna Shalala told The Associated Press. "It's been a long haul. But I don't have any anger or frustration."
Haith will miss the first five games of Missouri's upcoming season.
The sheer size of the Miami investigation was unlike almost any other, with 18 general allegations of misconduct with 79 issues within those allegations, along with 118 interviews of 81 individuals by the NCAA's count. The committee wanted to complete its work within eight weeks; it took more than 18 weeks between the end of the Miami hearing and the release of Tuesday's decision, mainly because of the staggering amount of material that needed review.
"This case is among the most extraordinary in the history of the NCAA," said Britton Banowsky, the Conference USA commissioner who chairs the NCAA's Committee on Infractions, which handed down Tuesday's decision.
Listen: NCAA teleconference on Miami sanctions
The NCAA said Miami lacked "institutional control" when it came to monitoring Shapiro, a charge the school was hoping to avoid.
"Many of Miami's violations were undetected by the university over a 10-year period," the NCAA wrote in the statement releasing Tuesday's news.
But since this saga started, Miami has tried to make sweeping changes in the way it handles its compliance practices, and that along with the school's decision to self-impose significant sanctions like sitting out three postseason football games and enacting recruiting restrictions was clearly looked upon favorably by the committee.
"We're going to move on," Shalala said. "We've got a lot of work to do in the compliance area. We've obviously put a lot of new things in place over the last three years. But making sure that we reduce the risk — significantly reduce the risk — of this happening again is an ongoing, continuous improvement strategy."
The NCAA decision will affect all of Miami athletics, in that any Hurricanes staff member who sends an impermissible text to a prospect will be fined a minimum of $100 per message, and coaches involved will be suspended from all recruiting activities for seven days. The NCAA said a probe of Miami actually started in 2009, when the school self-reported impermissible telephone calls and texts.
Then Shapiro, who is serving a 20-year prison term for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme, got involved, and the scope grew immeasurably.
"I'm glad the NCAA recognized and appreciated the self-imposed efforts that were at such a significant level," ACC Commissioner John Swofford said.
Some of the NCAA's would-be accusations were erased early this year, when it was found that investigators improperly cooperated with Shapiro's attorney — a Miami alum — and gleaned some of their information wrongly from her. Banowsky insisted none of that information was considered by the infractions committee.

BY PHIL POWER, Columnist
---- — "Many forms of government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."
— Winston Churchill, in the House of Commons, Nov. 11, 1947
Sixty-five years later, it's clear that Churchill's comment has stood the test of time. Last week's election provided two underlying reasons why his remark is still so appropriate.
First, a democratic system institutionalizes competition in a political system. In elections, opposing candidates and political parties set forth their views on the important issues of the day.
They compete for attention and approval before an audience of citizens whose choices will determine which candidate and whose ideas they wish to govern, for however long their elected term lasts.
In a one-party state, there is no public competition between candidates or ideas. Such competition takes the form of sharp-elbowed private infighting between contenders, much like several bulldogs fighting under a rug. You see the rug bounce up and down and hear growls, but you never really know what's going on or why until the victor emerges. Even then, you may not know why.
In a democracy, it's important that the competition be both periodic and public, because that's the way we can have political discourse in front of a constantly changing and evolving public.
When last week's national election results were in, much was made of the fact that Republicans wound up on the wrong side of increasingly important demographic components of America: Hispanics (now the most rapidly growing group in our nation) and other non-white minorities and young people.
Thanks to the election results, a debate is now starting within the Republican party about how best competitively to adapt to the changing nature of the American electorate. Competition forces self-examination, drives change, makes things better.
The second reason democratic political systems work well is that periodic and public debate is exactly the way to expose and monitor the powerful influences of special interests.
Left to their own devices, special interests always prefer to lurk in the background, content to let their money or their power exert influence without being publicly exposed.
Without this year's election, for example, who would have known just how profitable Matty Moroun's monopoly Ambassador Bridge has been — or how much money he was willing to spend to maintain his monopoly?
Special interests will always be with us, whether Morounesque monopolies, big banks, bored anonymous billionaires, organized labor, businesses, environmentalists, whatever. The big question is how to establish a political system that forces the special interests — whatever they might be — into the open, where we can all look them in the eye and judge their particular claims on all of us.
In both these arguments for a democratic political system, it's very important to recognize the essential role played by what used to be called the media. Whether it's the newspapers (now sadly reduced in size and capacity) or electronic media, it is terribly important that people have unbiased, accurate reporting about what's going on. And without fact-checking services like The Center for Michigan's Michigan Truth Squad, we might all be fooled by all the often blatantly false but oh-so-appealing spots that infest our TV screens.
True, an informed electorate is the iron core of a democratic system. But it's also important to understand what dynamics lie at the core of any democracy: Competition between ideas and candidates and exposure of special interests to the light of day. These are factors that make our democracy, flawed and contentious as it is, the best political system ever tried.

Yes, it's cold. Miserably cold. Treacherously cold. But record-breaking
Nope, not for the long haul, anyway.
Tuesday morning's bone-chilling -9 reading at the airport in Troy did break a record for Jan. 28 by one degree. It was -8 below in 1977. And factor in the wind chill and it feels like -25 and -30 across southeast Michigan, said Matt Mosteiko, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in White Lake.
But cheer up.
It could be and has been colder, Mosteiko said, consulting a spreadsheet filled with shiver-worthy statistics. The coldest day on record occurred on Jan. 21, 1984, when the actual temperature was minus 21.
That's not to suggest that the bitter cold isn't unusual. It is, Mosteiko said, but with nine days below zero so far this winter – and Wednesday, with a forecast low of -2 will probably make it 10 – southeast Michigan is nowhere near approaching the record.
"Right now, it's No. 8 as far as the coldest January on record. It still does a have a chance to go a little colder," Mosteiko said. "It could potentially be in the top five."
There have been 13 winters with 10 or more days with below-zero readings since records began in 1880.
That's below the seasonal average of 3.6 days below zero, but well above the coldest winter on record when there were 21, count them, 21 days below zero. That was in 1884-1885.
There's no one alive to remember that.
What Michiganders do remember is last January.
"We had a whopping 10 inches of snow, and we had a day that was 62 degrees and another that was 59," Mosteiko said. "Our coldest day was minus-one. It's a lot different as far as a year ago is concerned."
That's for sure.
This January is the snowiest on record, with 38.3 inches of snow so far this month. The old record for the most snow in January was in 1978, with 29.6 inches.
This month also looks to shatter the old record for all-time snowiest month overall, which occurred in February 1908 when 38.4 inches fell.
"We're expecting an inch of snow Thursday night, so we're expecting to break that," Mosteiko said.
That's good news for some folks.
The extreme cold has created thicker ice cover and the Great Lakes and inland lakes.
"The ice fishermen don't have to worry about falling through the ice," Mosteiko said. "The people who have snow businesses – the people who are selling skies or snowmobiles – don't have to worry."
There's no getting around the brutal cold truth, though.
"This is one of the worst winters for cold and snow we've experienced in the Detroit area," Mosteiko said. "It's very unusual."
The culprit is a jet pattern – an upper-level trough, in meteorology terms – that's dipping far to the south, bringing cold air that normally resides in the Arctic Circle and upper Canada to the Great Lakes region.
"We've been in this relentless trough pattern," Mosteiko said. "Eventually it will flip and bring warmer weather."
The thick ice cover does mean that it will likely be colder for longer this spring.
"Just like the lakes normally keep us warmer in the winter, they will keep us cooler in the summer," he said. "The influence of all that ice on the inland lakes means it will be a little cooler during the spring."
Some Relief in Sight
By Wednesday, shivering southeast Michiganders can expect some relief, with a high around 15 forecast. Cold wind chills are expected to persist through the day Wednesday, with the feel-like temperature around -21, but the overnight low will be 8.
Temperatures will return to the 20s Thursday through Monday. That's still below normal, Mosteiko said.

How Was Fishing This Weekend? – April 15th Edition
Author: Will Rice
We asked for the question… again. Our customers delivered the goods. Now, you get to vote. Here is what we found in Monday's mailbag...

Tim Romano just got back from a fly fishing tarpon mission in the Florida Keys and Miami – to call his fishing report and slide show epic… is an understatement.
"My trip to Key West last week was a nutty one: two rods broken, three falls by one guy off the bow, a destroyed rental car, night fishing for tarpon, and a few new species in the bag."
Based on the Arkansas River report from April 6th, a return trip was required. This time we decided to try a new section of the river and fished the lower Ark between Cañon City and Cotopaxi. The weather was about the same – chilly with moderate and sporadic wind... and then the hatch WENT OFF.
Here is what Adam Trina, Owner of the Montana Fly Company has to say about the Bomb Squad patterns:
"Most nymph patterns on the market were either no-bead patterns or single-bead patterns, and most of the single-bead patterns were brass, not Tungsten," said Trina. "The majority of Frank's Bomb patterns have 2 Tungsten beads, and are designed to ride hook up, allowing the angler to use them as their lead fly, right on the bottom, minimizing the need for split shot."
Adam pointed out three things that really stood out and that caught his attention when he initially evaluated the pattern:
1) There are two tungsten beads on most patterns, with one bead being smaller than the other to give a taper to the thorax.
2) They are designed with the weight positioned on the hook in a way that makes the hook ride up, minimizing snagging on debris.
3) The patterns use Sexy Floss exclusively because of the vibrant sheen, increased flexibility, and better UV resistance over regular rubber.
This fish was hooked and landed on our Featured Property where we are holding our Switch Rod and Spey Casting Clinic - make the jump for the full fishing report
We have only three seats left for our Switch Rod and Spey Casting Clinic being held on April 20th. The class is only $275 and you will get a chance to get into big migratory rainbow trout that are moving from the Colorado River up into the Lower Blue River. In addition to a great fly fishing opportunity, you'll also get to learn the basics of two handed casting and the benefits of single hand casting with a longer fly rod.

The name Shankar immediately conjures up memories of the great Ravi Shankar. The master sitar player inspired George Harrison's foray into playing this complex instrument, leading to a keen interest in Indian classical music by Western audiences. He also inspired his daughter Anoushka to follow in his footsteps. Born in London, Anoushka Shankar spent her teenage years in California, and whilst there decided to become a professional musician.
A gay couple from Plano has filed a lawsuit against the Family Code statute in the Texas Constitution, which prohibits same-sex marriages.
Mark Phariss and Vic Holmes decided they would celebrate their 16th anniversary of being a couple by filing for a marriage license at the Bexar County clerk's office. The two men first met in San Antonio while Holmes was serving in the Air Force.
They were turned away, but Phariss said he knew that would happen.
Immigration reform may be on the back burner in congress since the end of the shutdown, but the Texas Association of Business, along with other organizations, are urging members of congress to pass an immigration compromise for the sake of the economy.
On Capitol Hill more than 600 people from business, law enforcement, and evangelical organizations nationwide are asking for a sensible path to citizenship so skilled workers can obtain employment.
A leading Democratic candidate for Wendy Davis' Senate seat has indicated he will not be running in 2014, leaving the party with a smaller margin of error in the Texas Senate.
Some in the Texas Democratic Party believed Fort Worth City Councilman Joel Burns would be the person to take over in Davis' district because he has bipartisan support, but this week Burns announced he would not be running in 2014.
The nation's top military commanders watched the flags from each branch of the service unfurl over the new U.S. Military Working Dog Teams National monument, placed at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in honor of the training site as well as the canine trainees.
About 3,000 Military Working Dogs are serving around the world right now, providing services from protection for Secret Service assignments to sniffing out I.E.D. bombs in Afghanistan. About 900 dogs are in training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland at any given time.
The five-year contract extension signing by San Antonio Symphony Music Director Sebastian Lang-Lessing almost seemed like an athletic superstar event. Notables like the Tobin Center's Bruce Bugg and Judge Nelson Wolff offered their thanks to the conductor, but the new Symphony GM David Gross really set the tone.
"I know how Coach Pop felt the day that Tim Duncan committed to the long term with the Spurs," Gross said.
Speaking at a campaign event in Brownsville on Monday, Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott said he'd like to introduce laws that further restrict the legislature's access to the state's Economic Stabilization Fund, more commonly known as the Rainy Day Fund.
"I will promote a constitutional amendment that strictly limits the fund to be used only -- either for one, its intended purpose of meeting unforeseen budgetary shortfalls, reducing existing debt, one-time infrastructure payments and expenses related to state disasters," Abbott said.
Having all your health information at the fingertips of your doctors is more than just a useful desire, according to several recent studies it is an endeavor that would save time, millions of dollars per year to consumers as well as improve health outcomes.

Comments about Ruffwear Approach Pack Recreational Dog Backpack:
I can't comment on the packs as I purchased two of them for a friend in Japan and will delivering them to him in December but I will say that they look great and appear sturdy. I wanted to comment on how great Brookstone was in this transaction though. My friend picked these packs out after looking online at many sites. I had never heard of the company he sent me the link for and I didn't want to order from some company I had never heard of. It was my credit card being used. I did an internet search and found that Brookstone offered the same packs and a much lower price. I like the Brookstone name so ordered them. I made a mistake and immediately after ordering sent an e-mail. Brookstone called me, twice, and responded by e-mail and corrected my mistake. That is why I chose to order these packs from Brookstone. A really great company with excellent service. On top of that I saved my friend about $30 on two packs. What a deal!

Comments about Ruffwear Approach Pack Recreational Dog Backpack:
This bag is great! We got it for our camping trip and slowing introduced it to our golden/lab mix. He didn't mind it at all and he normally hates anything put on him. If you put a sweater or a dog cone on him, he just lies down and looks sad. we were afraid he might do the same here. at first he walked slowly but soon he was running around like nothing. When we took him camping for 4 days and 3 nights, he wore it all day with no chaffing and full freedom to move (including chasing deer). It holds whatever we need him to care (water, dog food, leashes, treats) He doesn't seem to mind the weight but does sleep longer from the days it is heavier.
And he looks super cute with it on.
No when we go for long walks we use and he gets so happy when he sees us getting it from the closet because he associates it with fun outdoor hikes.

MEDFORD, Ore. — A World War II veteran waited nearly 70 years to receive a long-overdue award.
The Mail-Tribune reports Evon "Bud" Pennington received his Bronze Star on his 92nd birthday.
Pennington was surrounded Saturday afternoon by family and friends to mark the occasion.
U.S. Rep. Greg Walden's office presented him the Bronze Star in a small ceremony in the family's backyard in Medford.
John Howard, who is Walden's director of constituent services, says the nation can't thank Pennington enough for his service.
Pennington was an Army infantryman who served in the Pacific campaign of World War II, helping take the island of Okinawa.
The Bronze Star is recognized across every branch of the military and is one of the highest combat honors a soldier can receive.

I don't trust these things at all. Cops have been using them for years. And they just seem to always fail at important times during key arrests. I
They should start building a camera into every stun gun and require the officer wielding it to video the suspect for at least 15 seconds preceding a stun so it can be determined if it was warranted.
Cheapest one on ebay is $56 + $8 shipping. That's $10-15 less than $40??
you are searching wrong or something. these are around $23+
You are right. I searched for the specific model VCS307, not thinking that there may be listings that don't cite the model.

new medical adaptations. I've always enjoyed your opinions on the latest cinematic creations!
Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Local designers for Ebert's new show
Aurum, the local graphic design firm and branding studio, has created the graphics package for "Ebert Presents At the Movies," the revived movie review show, which returns to PBS this weekend.
Aurum created the logo and identity for the show. Ken Kornacki, creative director at Aurum had worked as a designer on the original "At the Movies with Siskel & Ebert" while working in Chicago.
According to the firm the designs, which include the one on the left, "have a nostalgic feel and feature historic images."
Roger Ebert and his wife Chaz Ebert were very involved in the process, according to the firm.
The new iteration of "At the Movies" is co-hosted by Wauwatosa East alumni Ignatiy Vishnevetsky.
It will air Fridays at 11 p.m. on WMVS-TV (Channel 10) and on Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. on WMVT-TV (Channel 36). Ebert and the late Gene Siskel originated the show 35 years ago.
Ebert, who is unable to speak due to complications following treatment for jaw cancer, continues to write reviews and will make appearances on the show using text-speech software. An article on him including a photo is featured in the Feburary issue of Esquire.

CONNORS STATE 85, NORTHERN-ENID 71 — Connors State's Hakeem Harris and Josh Cameron powered the 18th-ranked Cowboys to an 85-71 Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Conference victory over the Northern Oklahoma-Enid Jets on their home floor.
The Cowboys' victory keeps Connors in a tie for the OCAC league depending on the outcome of Thursday night's play. The Cowboys are now 5-2 for the season and 14-3 for the season. NOC-Enid is 4-3 and 14-5.
Harris, who missed his last outing with a concussion, felt no effects against the Jets as he poured home 30 points in the victory, a season high for the 6-1 sophomore guard from Bergenfield, N.J.
Cameron also scored in double-digits as he scored 21 points and Denell Henderson added 10 points in the win.
Connors trailed only one time in the game, 17-16 midway the first half, before taking a 32-29 lead at the half. The Cowboys outscored the Jets 53-42 in the final 20 minutes to get the win.
Dalen Qualls led Northern's scoring with 27 points with Connor Brooks adding 13 and Philip Brown 11.
Connors State returns home to Melvin Self Field House on Monday playing host to Western Oklahoma State College. Tip-off for the OCAC contest is 8 p.m.
ORAL ROBERTS 64, TEXAS A&M-CORPUS CHRISTI 52 — A strong inside game, led by Damen Bell-Holter's fifth double-double of the season, led Oral Roberts (9-8, 4-1) past Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (2-13, 1-4) in south Texas on Thursday night.
Bell-Holter had a game-high 27 points on an 8-of-9 shooting effort, and had 13 rebounds as he scored 20 points for the fourth time in five games. Warren Niles overcame a cold start to score 14 points, while Shawn Glover added 12 for the Golden Eagles, who won their third-straight road game.
NORTHERN-ENID 76, CONNORS STATE 50 — The 22nd-ranked Northern Oklahoma Jets behind Kati Sullivan's 23 points and Marisha Wallace's 22 cruised to a 76-50 victory over the visiting Connors State Cowgirls Thursday night at Enid in an Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Conference clash.
Connors (10-6, 3-4) trailed only 33-30 at the half, but fell behind as the Sullivan and Wallace ignited the attack by NOC-Enid (14-5, 6-1) in the final 20 minutes of play.
Cowgirls' Kami Bunch and Tonisha Dean led the Cowgirls scoring with 12 points each.
The Cowgirls will return to OCAC play on Monday night at home against Western Oklahoma State College at Melvin Self Field House. Tip-off is 6 p.m.
ORAL ROBERTS 68, TEXAS A&M-CORPUS CHRISTI 41 — Christian Key scored a career-high 21 points as Oral Roberts overcame a rocky first half to dominate Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Thursday night at Corpus Christi, Texas.
Key was 8-for-13 from the field and 5-for-7 from three-point range. The career-high performance is the third straight for the Tulsa native
The victory, combined with Sam Houston State's 64-48 win over Central Arkansas, moves ORU (7-8, 4-1) into a four-way tie for first place in the Southland Conference standings. Those three teams, along with Lamar, all sit at 4-1.
Sarah Shelton added 11 points and seven rebounds for the Golden Eagles, while Jaci Bigham added nine points and seven assists.
TULSA 67, MARSHALL 49 — Tulsa shot a season-high 51 percent as freshman Kelsee Grovey scored a career-high 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting to pace the Hurricane (6-10, 1-2 Conference USA). She also was 4-of-7 from beyond the arc.
Senior Taleya Mayberry scored 18 points, tied a career-high with seven steals and added a season-high eight assists. Marshall fell to 6-10 and 0-3 in C-USA.
GEORGIA 57, ARKANSAS 53 — At Fayetteville, Ark., the Razorbacks (13-5, 1-4 SEC) took an 11 point lead into halftime, but were unable to close out the Lady Bulldogs (16-2, 4-1 SEC) in the second half. Freshman Dominique Wilson tied her career high with 12 points, while Sarah Watkins had a team-high 14 points along with four blocks.

The GNU Project's Bourne Again Shell (bash) is now in its fourth major version, which provides numerous enhancements.
For one thing, bash now recognizes associative arrays. The newly introduced "**" wildcard recursively matches all libraries and files, although it requires activation of the "globstar" shell option. The new "&>>" redirection operator appends the standard output and standard error to a file.
Programmable completion code also includes some feature enhancements. The developers fixed a few related bugs on the bash 3 branch and improved other POSIX compatibility issues. The full list of new features and enhancements are here, with more details on the bash manpage.
Version compatibility details are here, especially related to the older versions 1.14 and 2.0, especially as to the use of shell options.
Bash 4.0 is under GLPv3 licensing and is available at GNU mirrors as source tarballs for download. Along with bash, a new version 6.0 of the GNU Readline library is also available.
bash associative array... solution!this is my solution:
function idx { eval 'case $1 in '${cases[*]}' *) [ "$1" ] && { cases=( ${cases[*]} '\''"'\''$1'\''" echo '${#cases[*]}';;'\'' ); echo '${#cases[*]}';}; esac'; }
idx all
idx all
idx jhon
idx all
as you can see the function return different values for different strings
so associative array becomes quite simple like a simple array
array[`idx name`]=value
echo ${array[`idx name`]}
what do you think?

- Pour maple syrup into a small saucepan. Heat to between 223 and 234 degrees F (106 to 112 degrees C), or until fine threads form when dripped from a spoon. If it reaches the temperature before your egg whites are ready, remove from heat, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whip the egg whites with salt until they can hold a peak. Gradually drizzle in the hot syrup while continuing to whip until thick and fluffy.

My son cannot have sugar, this was the perfect substitute. Great texture, fluffy - almost merringue-like. I put it on a wheat-free, sugar-free birthday cake...it tasted awesome! (and all the party-goers had no idea it had no sugar!)
finally found one that useI s real maple syrup and not artificial flavoring! I added a little vanilla. Tastes like a light maple marshmallow. I microwaved the syrup in a glass measuring cup/has no problems.Don't know why the first poster had to throw out the pan. At worst putting water in it and heating it should have dissolved off any stuck on stuff. As cookie or cake icing I give it a 3 to 4 but I did find a fab use for this stuff...it makes awesome whoopee pie filling!
This was light and tasty. I know that Lila's post was in 2006, but there is no need to throw out a pan that has hardened sugar syrup in it. Put water in the pot, place on the stove, bring to a boil, turn off and cover for 10 to 15 minutes. Empty the hot water carefully into the sink. The sugar should have dissolved and the pot is ready to wash.

Apparently we are going to see the video in a minute of the agent with money around his waistband.
Thomas asks if witness knows why the placed money in the waistband instead of pockets. Witness does not know.
Asks if Lorenz knows why certain denominations were used. Lorenz does not.
So Thomas ascertains witness just there to make sure magnatometer functioning properly.
Thomas discussing CEIA sensitivty settings which can be calibrated. Lorenz says there are different settings on the equipment, yes.
Thomas says that he read something about the settings being well below detectable levels for the test. Asking if it could have been too low to set off alarms.
Lorenz says that based on settings, there were no visual or audible alarms on the 200 pass-throughs.
Witness says there were other people recording levels during the test.
Witness says he is looking at other folks in the courtroom when Thomas asks what he is doing. Thomas asks if he is looking at the next witness who will be testifying after him. No says Lorenz.
11:35AM Thomas shows a clip of a CEIA magnatometer test video. Just saw a guy in just a white t shirt and jeans walk through the detector. apparently this is agent Joe Jensen who walked through the device 200 times.
In another part of the clip, a TSA agent is hanging over the side of a wall while the special agent takes bundles of money and places them in the waistband of his jeans. Bundles appear to be an inch or so thick.
Thomas is asking the courtroom for rubber gloves.
The agent, who is not a bad looking guy if I might add, is stuffing wads of cash into the back of his pants. Getting a good view of his backside. I think I'm actually blushing.
The special agent still stuffing wads of cash in his waistband and counting them. He's finished and readjusts his white tshirt to hang over his jeans. I can't tell at all that he has wads of cash stuffed in his pants.
Looking at a side view of the agent. I don't see anything.
Witness says he doesn't see anything.
"Do you need glasses?" asks Thomas saying that he clearly sees a crease around the waistline. Says there is a line from his waist to the front of his shirt.
Thomas asks that if the witness saw that or someone screening saw that and didn't make a phone call.
Witness says he sees creases like that thousands of times a day without making a call.
Thomas is incredulous, "Creases like that?!?"
Witness says "If I were the officer, I would not do anything."
"And you ensure our safety," asks Thomas. Judge Edmunds admonishes him, "Mr. Thomas."
Thomas points to a backshot of agent and says wouldn't you say anything. I cannot see a single thing except that the agent has one fine behind.
11:48AM Lorenz says there are different layers to security.
Thomas asks wouldn't one of those layers be to ask someone to step aside and be patted down?

Solid Job Growth is Likely to Continue
NEW YORK, May 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board Employment Trends Index™ (ETI) increased in April. The index now stands at 118.00, up from 117.77 (an upward revision) in March. This represents a 5.5 percent gain in the ETI compared to a year ago.
"April's increase in the Employment Trends Index, and continued improvement in recent months, is signaling solid job growth through the summer," said Gad Levanon, Director of Macroeconomic Research at The Conference Board. "Despite the disappointing GDP figure for the first quarter, job growth remains robust and when coupled with the massive retirement of baby boomers will result in a continued rapid decline in the unemployment rate."
April's increase in the ETI was driven by positive contributions from five of its eight components. In order from the largest positive contributor to the smallest, these were: Percentage of Firms with Positions Not Able to Fill Right Now, Number of Temporary Employees, Industrial Production, Job Openings, and Initial Claims for Unemployment Insurance.
The Employment Trends Index aggregates eight labor-market indicators, each of which has proven accurate in its own area. Aggregating individual indicators into a composite index filters out "noise" to show underlying trends more clearly.
The eight labor-market indicators aggregated into the Employment Trends Index include:
The Conference Board publishes the Employment Trends Index monthly, at 10 a.m. ET on the Monday that follows each Friday release of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Situation report.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
Last August I wrote a column about blanching vegetables in a microwave instead of on the stove in a pot of boiling water. I didn't know how they would turn out and how long they would last.
That was the first time I used a microwave to blanch and I'm writing to say it worked out great. I froze dozens of ears of corn and my family finished off the last of it at Easter. I still have zucchini, okra, and green beans left and they look as fresh as when I put them in the freezer.
For those who missed reading the blanching column I will explain how I put up the corn: Put one ear of corn with the husk on a paper towel into the microwave for two minutes. Take it out and let it cool enough to handle. Pull husk and silks off at the same time. The corn silks will come off with the husks and there will be no need to remove each one. Put the corn in the freezer until it cools completely and then bag it up and return it to the freezer. Put another husk into the microwave while the first one is cooling and keep repeating the process until all the corn is put up. This is so much faster than boiling the corn and then trying to get out all the water.
The zucchini, okra, and green beans are put up similarly: Wash the vegetables real well. Slice up the zucchini with its peeling on and slice up the okra and green beans. Place one layer on a plate covered with a paper towel. Microwave for one minute. Take the plate out, freeze the vegetables, and then bag them up or put them in plastic freezing containers and return to the freezer.
The other vegetables and herbs I grow, such as tomatoes, gypsy peppers, rhubarb, basil, and parsley don't have to be blanched. The herbs are frozen in ice cubes and then bagged up individually. I quit growing cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower because I couldn't keep the worms out of them.
If I have a garden this year, I will be putting peas, green beans, okra, zucchini, and asparagus in a microwave to blanch.
Since I have trouble growing corn, I will buy some from the Mennonites and microwave the ears. I'll just have to buy dozens more than last year because you can never have too much corn or corn on the cob.
In my three raised beds I have asparagus, rhubarb, peas, onion sets, radishes, and lettuce already coming up. And, the strawberries are blooming. I'm ready for a homemade strawberry pie from Jerry's recipe that has strawberry gelatin in it. I might even tweak the pie with a little rhubarb.

In Malpractice Case, Catholic Hospital Argues Fetuses Aren't People
Lori Stodghill was 31-years old, seven-months pregnant with twin boys and feeling sick when she arrived at St. Thomas More hospital in Cañon City on New Year's Day 2006. She was vomiting and short of breath and she passed out as she was being wheeled into an examination room. Medical staff tried to resuscitate her but, as became clear only later, a main artery feeding her lungs was clogged and the clog led to a massive heart attack. Stodghill's obstetrician, Dr. Pelham Staples, who also happened to be the obstetrician on call for emergencies that night, never answered a page. His patient died at the hospital less than an hour after she arrived and her twins died in her womb.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, Stodghill's husband Jeremy, a prison guard, filed a wrongful-death lawsuit on behalf of himself and the couple's then-two-year-old daughter Elizabeth. Staples should have made it to the hospital, his lawyers argued, or at least instructed the frantic emergency room staff to perform a caesarian-section. The procedure likely would not have saved the mother, a testifying expert said, but it may have saved the twins.
The lead defendant in the case is Catholic Health Initiatives, the Englewood-based nonprofit that runs St. Thomas More Hospital as well as roughly 170 other health facilities in 17 states. Last year, the hospital chain reported national assets of $15 billion. The organization's mission, according to its promotional literature, is to "nurture the healing ministry of the Church" and to be guided by "fidelity to the Gospel." Toward those ends, Catholic Health facilities seek to follow the Ethical and Religious Directives of the Catholic Church authored by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Those rules have stirred controversy for decades, mainly for forbidding non-natural birth control and abortions. "Catholic health care ministry witnesses to the sanctity of life 'from the moment of conception until death,'" the directives state. "The Church's defense of life encompasses the unborn."
The directives can complicate business deals for Catholic Health, as they can for other Catholic health care providers, partly by spurring political resistance. In 2011, the Kentucky attorney general and governor nixed a plan in which Catholic Health sought to merge with and ultimately gain control of publicly funded hospitals in Louisville. The officials were reacting to citizen concerns that access to reproductive and end-of-life services would be curtailed. According to The Denver Post, similar fears slowed the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth's plan over the last few years to buy out Exempla Lutheran Medical Center and Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center in the Denver metro area.
But when it came to mounting a defense in the Stodghill case, Catholic Health's lawyers effectively turned the Church directives on their head. Catholic organizations have for decades fought to change federal and state laws that fail to protect "unborn persons," and Catholic Health's lawyers in this case had the chance to set precedent bolstering anti-abortion legal arguments. Instead, they are arguing state law protects doctors from liability concerning unborn fetuses on grounds that those fetuses are not persons with legal rights.
As Jason Langley, an attorney with Denver-based Kennedy Childs, argued in one of the briefs he filed for the defense, the court "should not overturn the long-standing rule in Colorado that the term 'person,' as is used in the Wrongful Death Act, encompasses only individuals born alive. Colorado state courts define 'person' under the Act to include only those born alive. Therefore Plaintiffs cannot maintain wrongful death claims based on two unborn fetuses."
The Catholic Health attorneys have so far won decisions from Fremont County District Court Judge David M. Thorson and now-retired Colorado Court of Appeals Judge Arthur Roy.
In September, the Stodghills' Aspen-based attorney Beth Krulewitch working with Denver-based attorney Dan Gerash appealed the case to the state Supreme Court. In their petition they argued that Judges Thorson and Roy overlooked key facts and set bad legal precedent that would open loopholes in Colorado's malpractice law, relieving doctors of responsibility to patients whose viable fetuses are at risk.
Whether the high court decides to take the case, kick it back down to the appellate court for a second review or accept the decisions as they stand, the details of the arguments the lawyers involved have already mounted will likely renew debate about Church health care directives and trigger sharp reaction from activists on both sides of the debate looking to underline the apparent hypocrisy of Catholic Health's defense.
At press time, Catholic Health did not return messages seeking comment. The Stodghills' attorneys declined to comment while the case was still being considered for appeal.
The Supreme Court is set to decide whether to take the case in the next few weeks.

This is a lovely flame colored teapot - a great value and exceptional quality.
It does leak when I pour.
Le Creuset is a top-of-the-line product, so I was surprised when I washed it before initial use to find the water enters the "top/lid" and requires removal of the screw to release water. This is disappointing, and I hope it does not happen all of the time. Perhaps, after initial occurrence, and tightening of screw, it will not occur again. Otherwise, this is a negative in an otherwise beautiful and long-lasting Kettle.
Love the personal assistance I received when ordering Wedding gifts for my daughter. All arrived fast and just what she wanted. I will be ordering from foodnetwork soon.
Love the quality, looks great, and it is solid feel to it. HOWEVER, the top is difficult to remove from the kettle. It is very tight. I don't even try to remove the top when it is hot from boiling water for tea.

RICHMOND, VA. — Commissary case lot sales are returning, announced Defense Commissary Agency director Joseph Jeu.
Jeu spoke at a commissary round table meeting of the American Logistics Association, whose members include manufacturers and distributors of products sold in commissaries, exchanges and other retail outlets on military bases.
The sales will resume this year from mid-August through September, said DeCA spokesman Kevin Robinson.
Until they were discontinued for budget reasons, the sales were held in May and September, generally in extra space outside the commissary. Larger items such as club packs helped offer savings over and above the regular savings that average about 30 percent.
The sales are back by popular demand, Jeu said, noting that customers as well as members of industry have asked for them.
Running two case lot sales in a year worldwide costs DeCA about $900,000. Industry has agreed to provide more support to reduce the costs for DeCA, Robinson said.

NORMAN — People who hold specific political points of view like to think their positions are based on serious analysis.
They view their given ideologies as careful conclusions reached through assessing the world around them and examining how things work. Thus, liberals and conservatives both manage to claim the intellectual and ethical high ground.
But what if this is a bunch of hogwash? What if political viewpoints are nothing more than the result of brain patterns, neuron pathways and perhaps a little genetics mixed in? What if our political points of view aren't shaped by thoughts, but rather, by biology?
That's an intriguing notion coming out of some recent brain research. I stumbled upon it the other day on the Discovery News website, which cited new research where analysts said they had spotted key differences between the way the brains of liberals and conservatives worked.
Technically, the study was looking at how brains process risk when it comes to gambling. Interestingly, liberals and conservatives were both willing to take similar risks in gambling games, but in the two groups, different areas of the brains were used to process the information before them.
Specifically, conservatives tended to use areas of the brain linked to rewards, fear and risky behavior, while liberals used parts of the brain tied to emotion and what some experts believe is a sense of what others may be thinking. Intuition may be a good term for it.
Of course, this study presents something of a chicken-vs-egg argument. Did the political views of the subjects create the brain activity? Or did the brain activity generate the political views?
Or is something else going on here?
Personally, I have long observed that political ideology has much more to do with fear than reason. Spend much time listing to people with strident political views and you can easily conclude they are terrified of something.
