I just came back from Deidesheim, a small town (yet with an oddly epic entry in English Wikipedia — what's up with that?) located in an area of Germany best known for its excellent Riesling, where I participated in the annual meeting of the SciLogs blogging community. My role in Deidesheim, together with my colleague Merja Mahrt, was to nominate a blogger for the SciLogs '12 best blog award (here's the winner!) and to give a talk on research on scholarly blogging (slides below).
The past ten days have been a whirlwind tour of sorts, with no less than three (!) different events related to scholarly/science/research blogging that I attended, and I want to take a moment and reflect on some of the things that were discussed and record a few thoughts they provoked.
So let's start with a list of the events.
Weblogs in the Humanities, Munich
Last week, I presented at the conference Weblogs in den Geisteswissenschaften (Weblogs in the Humanities), organized by the Deutsche Historische Institut Paris and supported by hypotheses.org, a platform operated by Cléo, a section of the CNRS. The newly launched portal de.hypotheses.org is aimed at the German-speaking scholarly community and follows the model of its French parent. Weblogs (or carnets de recherche, as they are branded under the hypotheses label) are more widely read in France than they are in Germany, a factor which I think partly explains their uptake. Another key to their success seems to be the way they are supported, for example, each blog is provided with an ISSN, making it easier to cite. As part of the editorial team behind de.hypotheses.org, I'm excited to see whether the platform will succeed and follow in the footsteps of its French counterpart, which hosts an impressive 300 scholarly blogs. The conference was certainly an indicator that the topic is on a lot of people's radar. More detailed reports from the event can be found here (keynote speaker Melissa Terras, in English), here (Wenke Bönisch, in German) and here (Anton Tantner, also in German). During a break, I had the chance to interview Melissa for my postdoc project and was myself interviewed for the German Humanities portal LISA. Thank You to Melissa for taking the time to chat with me and to Georgios Chatzoudis for asking some very thought-provoking questions!
Symposia on e-Social Science, Oxford
Next I flew to England for the first time in several years, to visit the Oxford Internet Institute and attend two events, Social Science and Digital Research: Interdisciplinary Insights and Digital Social Research: A Forum for Policy and Practice. There was also a dinner on Monday to mark the formal ending of the Oxford e-Social Science Project and a breakfast on Tuesday morning, where the Euorpean Commission's SESERV project was discussed and recommendations on how to integrate e-social science methods into teaching and research more closely were formulated. All of theses events were related to the Oxford e-Social Science project in one way or another, therefore the aspect of digital scholarly communication was just one facet of that larger theme. People had a broad discussion of research and teaching practices in the social sciences and how e-science fits into the mix. I found Christine Borgmann's keynote on reproducibility very thought-provoking. We take it for grandted that open data will make the research process more transparent and hopefully this is true, but what reproducibility actually amounts to is widely contested and especially tricky in the context of the human and social sciences.
SciLogs Meeting 2012, Deidesheim
After my visit to Oxford, it was on to Deidesheim via Düsseldorf. The SciLogs meetup was yet a different event than both the Munich conference and the symposia in England. SciLogs is comparable to scienceblogs.com in that it's run by a publisher (Spektrum der Wissenschaft), who has launched it largely as a source of popular science content and that it has an orientation towards the natural sciences (though there are also blogs on history, linguistics and a variety of other fields). It was exciting to chat with people who have been involved in science blogging for years and to learn more about what drives them. I was particularly impressed by the enthusiasm that the sciloggers have for their blogs and their readers. Blogging is hard work (as the gracial pace of my postings here illustrates…) and Spektrum Verlag can be quite proud of the community it has built around the idea of better informing people about scientific research.
Below are some somewhat random points that I found noteworthy.
Scholarly/academic/science/research blogs are written by a wide variety of people (e.g. scholars, journalists, librarians, science enthusiasts), for a wide range of audiences (e.g. self, peers, people in the same field, practitioners, politicians, general public) with a variety of purposes in mind (self-fulfillment, knowledge management). It's important not just to regard them exclusively as a form of science communication, but to see the many roles they take on for a range of users.
Just as scholarly bloggers and their topics are a diverse bunch, readers and commentators of S/a/s/r blogs have different reasons for visiting and participating. A key motivation among commentators could be that they can add their view to a post. This may seem obvious, but it's interesting for several reasons. For example, there is fairly little dialogue going on in posts that have a lot of comments. The commentators simply add their take and then leave, without engaging with the blogger or with each other. Debates that do have a lot of actualy discussion sometimes devolve into arguments between individual users that have little to do with the original post. This isn't a bad thing, but it illustrates that it's a bad idea to give in to the temptation that a large number of comments translates into success. Or, perhaps speaking of personal success is alright as long as one doesn't mistake it for societal impact. Another thing is the relation of commentators and readers. It's not trivial to figure out whether fewer comments means less attention on the part of readers.
In order to play a role in main-stream scholarly communication, as it is still conducted primarily via monographs and journals, scholarly blogging must integrate some of the conventions that exist in these forms (quality control, long-term availability of content, citability), if it is to succeed as a formal genre of scholarly communication, while preserving its intrinsic strengths (speed and simplicity of publication, the potential of interaction via comments, the ability to embed images, video, audio, data and code, the ability to link and quote, the ability to track one's impact via metrics). The adaptation can happen in multiple ways, and it only applies to formal scholarly communication — what happens informally or for other purposes remains uneffected, as does blogging about science by journalists or hobbyists. Blogging about science and scholarship is obviously in the public interest. The question is, should this be left to the researcher, or should it be incentivized by institutions? As Klaus Graf put it somewhat radically at the conference in Munich, is a researcher who doesn't blog a bad researcher?

HI everyone. Not sure how this works. However, I live in Lumberton, NJ . I am near two small airports for small airplanes - Flying W and Burlington County Airport. I also live about 20 min. from Philiadelphia airport. I am now a newbie volunteer for foster care and transportation. I also could help as a co-pilot. I have a few hours of my own on flying time but never completed that road. So I hope to be of help soon.
Thank you everyone who is involved in this program. I believe it this and I thank you all in advance for your help.

CASTLE ROCK, Colo. (AP) -- Five people have been hospitalized after a natural gas explosion destroyed a home in Castle Rock.
The explosion Friday morning occurred after neighbors reported smelling gas. There was no immediate information on the names or injuries.
Two other houses were damaged in the explosion.

So - I've been using a PS3 for media streaming (videos anyway) for the past few years. I rip blu-ray movies and encode to h264/ac3 using the m2ts container. My sister's LG BD 570 plays all the 720p and 1080p files perfectly over the network (wifi N no less) (streaming via TVersity but PS3 Media server works also).
My cousin bought an LG BD670 (3D) and oddly - it sucks. It takes forever to buffer 720p material (over a gigabit lan or wifi lan) and doesn't support 1080p videos. Makes no sense that a higher / newer model would have less functionality.
My #1 recommendation to him was to get an Oppo BDP-93 as it seems to support everything. I'm looking to find other alternatives as well - one issue I'm finding w/ a random sampling of ~$200 - 300 blu-ray players is that they limit streaming to 720p or they just don't support things like mkv and m2ts.
Of course the other option is a streaming media player.
Any suggestions on either?
Thx Guys.

By Denis House
Sports Editor
LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
Late in Saturday's game between Kentucky and North Carolina, the white out crowd at the Dean Dome started the "over-rated" chant directed toward the Wildcats, their preseason-No. 1 ranking and their fabulous freshmen recruiting class.
While chanting "over-rated" actually devalues a team's win over the highly-ranked opponent, in this case, it was true. Coming into the season there were actually people predicting a 40-0 season and another national title for the Wildcats. Those people are feeling mighty foolish right now. For the perfect season, that is. There's still a chance to win the national title, but unless they start playing as a team instead of individuals, that chance will also go by the wayside.
The three best teams Kentucky has faced this season have beaten the Wildcats. The sad thing is this was a very mediocre North Carolina team, without two key players, that handed Coach John Calipari's team its third loss of the season. If this was a mediocre Tar Heel team, what does that make Kentucky?
Uncoachable and not very good.
Despite all the talent, the Julius Randles, the Harrison Twins, the Youngs and Cauley-Steins, unless you learn to play as a team, it doesn't matter if you are some of the top-ranked players coming out of high school.
Maybe those rankings are to blame. I mean, you take a high school player and start telling him he is the one of the best in his class and will probably be a lottery pick when it comes to the NBA, how hard will that make them work once they get to college?
I believe all these highly-touted freshmen who know they are going to the NBA after one year in college don't really care whether their team wins or not. I think they would rather pad their individual statistics than help a team win a banner.
I spoke with Coach Cal earlier this year and he said he would rather players stay more than one year in college, even though his name has become linked with the one-and-dones. And I have to agree with him.
Players have no ties to the university they are attending, at least not like in the past. I have heard many fans say that some of the older Kentucky stars should come and talk to the team and tell them what it means to play for and wear the Kentucky jersey. But you know what? I don't think the majority of them care about that and it would probably go in one ear and out the other.
It used to be players would want to attend a school like Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas, Duke or UCLA because of the prestige it meant. But today players would rather go play for coaches who will fast-track them to the NBA and right now that coach is Calipari. You can bet that if Cal left Kentucky most of the incoming recruiting class would want to follow him wherever he ended up. That's just the way things are.
This overhyped squad currently masquerading as Kentucky Wildcats needs to wake up and decide how much they want to win. They have to forget about their individual statistics, start taking better care of the ball and learn how to hit free throws. And play hard all the time. Against Carolina I can't count the number of times these Wildcats were beaten off the dribble or just stood and watched as a player drove by. Sure they are outrebounding their opponents, but if you aren't converting those rebounds into points, it hardly matters. And stop hanging your head after making a mistake, or looking on in disbelief after a call goes against you or your coach is yelling at you.
Stand up and take a punch and deliver one right back. You have all the talent in the world. Now go out and show it. You have Louisville, the defending national champion, coming up Dec. 28. You have Belmont before that game. Between now and Louisville let's see just how much these Wildcats learned from the loss to the Tar Heels.
If they beat the Cardinals, or at least play them close and tough, there still might be hope for them. But if Louisville blows them out, then you can all but put a fork in this season because they will be done.
Let's see which UK team shows up. The overhyped, uncoachable individuals or a team with heart and desire.

Two men are now charged in connection to the homicide of a man whose body was left on a Dale City street Tuesday.
Prince William County Police arrested Juan Carlos Flores, 25, of no fixed address, on Wednesday in connection to the death of Barbaro Lupe Alonso-Irahola, 47, of no fixed address. The victim sustained trauma to his face from a blunt object and a knife, police said.
Police are still looking for another unidentified person who allegedly helped Flores dump Alonso-Irahola's body in a Dale City neighborhood.
They also charged Jose Miguel Diaz, 28, of Westminster Lane in Dale City, who owned the van used to dump Alonso-Irahola's body, Officer Jonathan Perok, a spokesman for the department, said in a press release. However, Flores reported used the van without Diaz's consent.
"The investigation revealed that the accused, Flores, was involved in the murder of the victim. The second suspect, Diaz, aided Flores after the murder took place but is not the second suspect seen on Cardin Pl by witnesses," Perok said in the release.
Flores is charged with first-degree murder and unauthorized use of a vehicle. Diaz is charged with accessory after the fact to murder. Court dates for both are set for Feb. 20.
Police have classified the case as a murder.

A 51-year-old York woman has been given one to two years in prison for attempted insurance fraud.
Online court records say Susan Schulz was sentenced last week. She'd pleaded no contest in February after making a deal with prosecutors.
Judge Robert Steinke said at Schulz's sentencing that she wasn't a good candidate for probation, given her criminal history.
Prosecutors say Schulz called the York County Sheriff's Department in September to report that her house had been broken into while she was gone. She said painkillers, a DVD player, a laptop computer, $1,200 in cash, jewelry, an Xbox and a camera had been taken.
The investigator became suspicious because the house wasn't ransacked.

Yum, this recipe turned out wonderfully with some slight changes! I made this recipe the traditional way w/out a bread machine by proofing yeast w/ 1 tbs honey and warm water for about 10mins. Then added the rest of the ingredients (I cup of flour at a time until elastic), kneaded the dough for about 6-8 mins and let it rise until doubled. Changes: • I made these into 12 large sweet rolls instead of breadsticks. Since the dough is pretty sweet I didn't add any additional sugar, I just left out the seeds. If you are making breadsticks I'd decrease the sugar to 2-3 tbs. and you might want to try adding some garlic, oregano, and onion powder to the dough to make it really tasty. • The trick to getting a crunchy exterior is by spraying the dough with oil before baking. You will get a better texture if you use bread four instead of all-purpose (although, all-purpose still works well). If you are still getting a tough breadstick try decreasing the sugar (sugar competes with the yeast for liquid), and/or increase the butter to 4 tbs). Wonderful recipe besides those small changes!!!
SENSATIONAL! I am having company from out of town tomorrow, and will be serving a spaghetti and meatball dinner. I wanted something extra special and different for a bread. After finding this one, I decided to try it. Ite was easy and wonderful! However, instead of rolling the dough into 18 separate balls and then rolling them out individually, I rolled the dough into a rectangle, and took a pizza cutter, cutting the dough into strips. It worked perfectly, and was time saving. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
These were great. Crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy inside. I added garlic powder, oregano, basil, and parsley to the dough. I used the stand mixer and did not double the recipe. I kneaded by hand for aobut 10 minutes, and let the dough rest for 10 minutes before shaping.

These might be okay appetizers, but these are not quiches. To make PERFECT mini quiches, use the Cream Cheese Tart Shells recipe on this site and also the Basic Quiche by Shelley. Use a mini muffin tin. I placed a tiny cube of pepper jack cheese, a tiny piece of canned mushroom and a tiny tear of frozen spinach (defrosted) in each cup, then filled with the egg mixture. Baked at 350 for 15-20 minutes until edges were beginning to get golden. Ah, they looked and tasted very professional!

OK, I have made several batches and here is what I came up with...cook your 6 slices of bacon, drain, meanwhile mix 2/3 C Bisquick, 4 eggs, 1 1/2 C sharp cheddar, 1/2 C Monterey Jack cheese, dash of ceyenne, 1 1/2 T fresh chopped parsley and the green tops of 4 green onions chopped. Bake as directed in the origiinal recipe. I actually used a few dashes of ceyenne pepper, and a few shakes of salt. They were really good, had more of a quiche consistency than the original recipe. Very good, freezes well, just heat and serve.
I served these at a baby shower and have never had so many people ask me for a recipe! I followed other reviewers' advice and cut the Bisquick to 1/2 C and cheese to 1 C. Perfect! I made 3 variations: as listed (the best); spinach, artichoke and swiss/mozzarella cheese mix(very tasty); crab, onion & swiss (not horrible). Easily portable and sooo easy to make. Thank you!

An author of a study for Lakehurst school officials that included a comparison of tuition rates in Manchester and Jackson has responded to a charge by Manchester's district that it unfairly compared costs.
The tuition rate of $14,000 per student used in the Puleio and Strimple Associates and JP Savedoff and Associates school switch feasibility study was provided by Lakehurst administrators, as it is the estimated contracted rate between the districts for the 2012-13 school year, said study author Nicholas Puleio.
The study concludes that Lakehurst taxpayers would see a cost savings and possibly greater educational offerings if its students attended high school in Jackson, rather than Manchester. However, Manchester officials said the tuition data in the feasibility study is flawed, leading to overstated cost-savings estimates.
A Lakehurst resident brought up a letter from Manchester school administrators refuting the cost used in the study at the borough's Board of Education meeting Tuesday night, when the findings were presented to the public. Puleio said that the rate may be adjusted, but "that's not the number that's in the sending-receiving contract for Lakehurst and Manchester for the 2012-13 school year."
Manchester officials said in a letter to Patch that its budgeted cost per pupil for high school students in 2012-13 is $12,452, a figure less than the estimate used in the contract. The rate used for Jackson is the budgeted cost per pupil, which is $11,332.
"Therefore, for this comparison to be fairly presented, we should be comparing Jackson's budgeted cost per pupil for 2012-2013 to Manchester's budgeted cost per pupil for 2012-2013," Manchester administrators said in the letter. "To compare two different sets of numbers makes little to no sense and any conclusion using these numbers is totally invalid."
The report's finding that Lakehurst would save $2 million over five years "is significantly overstated and completely unrealistic," Manchester school administrators contend in the letter.
Adjustments in the tuition rate are made every two years once certified by the state Department of Education, which means Lakehurst could receive a refund for the difference.
"I'm going to guess that's perhaps the budgeted number per pupil, which is different than the estimated tuition. As I said in the presentation, that number can be adjusted," Puleio said.
Some years Lakehurst has received a refund, while in others it was asked to pay more, said the district's Business Administrator Barry Parliman.
"It really does swing back and forth," he said.
At the Manchester Board of Education meeting Wednesday, President Donald Webster again addressed the report and methodology used to estimate the cost savings.
"I was very disappointed by what I saw in that report," he said.
Manchester school administrators will work with their counterparts in Lakehurst to give them any data that they need, Webster said. Lakehurst's newly appointed liaison to Manchester's school board, Kevin Oliver, was in attendance at the meeting.
Lakehurst, which typically sends about 150 high school students to Manchester, would save $415,634 per year going by the $14,000 estimated rate. That would reduce taxes $0.17 per $100 of assessed valuation, the report states.
"If the estimated rate charged is more than the state certified rate at the completion of the school year, the difference is refunded to Lakehurst," the letter written by Manchester administrators states. "That is why you cannot determine a savings based on a budgeted rate and an estimated rate because the savings presented in this study does not reflect any amounts that are refunded to Lakehurst. The refunded tuition amount would reduce the savings in this report."

Oct. 3, 2012 — Three women, two from Olive Hill and one from Vanceburg, were killed last week in two separate vehicle crashes in Carter County.
According to Kentucky State Police Detective Toby Gardner, KY 2 was shut down for several hours for "accident reconstruction" Thursday after an earlier two-vehicle accident claimed the lives of Pam Carroll, 53, and Sharon D. Moore, 62, both of Olive Hill.
Carroll was killed instantly in the head-on collision just after 7 a.m. Moore was transported to Cabell Huntington Hospital in Huntington where she died shortly after 10 a.m.
On Friday, Mary R. Logan, 53, of Vanceburg, was killed in a collision with a tractor trailer on I-64 at mile marker 159 near Olive Hill. She was traveling east at about 2:30 p.m. when she seemingly lost control of her car.
The road was wet and visibility was limited because of heavy rain, said KSP Trooper Jim Ryland.
Ryland said Logan's car struck a guardrail and then traveled back onto the interstate and into the path of Terry Anders, 55, of Grassy Creek, N.C., who also was traveling east when his tractor-trailer rig struck Logan's car and then traveled through a guardrail and over an embankment.
Logan was pronounced dead at the scene by Carter County Coroner George Sparks. She was not wearing a seat belt.
Anders and his passenger, Melynda Anders, 49, were wearing seat belts. Neither was injured.
Multiple agencies responded to the crash, including the Carter County Sheriff's Department, Olive Hill Police Department, Olive Hill Fire Department, Carter County EMS, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Kentucky EPA, Grahn Fire Department, Carter County Emergency Management and the Carter County Coroner's Office.
Both crashes are under investigation.
A memorial service was held for Moore on Monday, Oct. 1, at Globe Funeral Chapel in Olive Hill.
Funeral services for Carroll were held Sunday, Sept. 30, also at Globe Funeral Chapel.
Services for Logan were held Tuesday, Oct. 2, also at the Globe Funeral Chapel in Olive Hill.

Jacksonville Daily Progress
There is catchy acronym — W-E-B-O (We Believe in Orange) – that has been floating around Lancaster High School for quite some time now, in much the same fashion as is found at a couple of other perennial football powers, John Tyler (CUJO) and Odessa Permian (MOJO).
It's a no brainer as to why Tiger fans have so much faith in this years football team, who will put their 9-1 record and Class 4A top-10 ranking on the line at 7:30 p.m. Thursday evening at City Bank Stadium in Forney when Lancaster faces Jacksonville (4-6) in a Region II, Division II bi-district affair.
Yes sir, the Orange and Black are one prep powerhouse, indeed.
The Tigers have been ranked as high as No. 2 in the state this year and they own a win over John Tyler as well.
"Yes, they are a very good football team," Jacksonville head coach Chris Taber said."They have the athleticism and speed of John Tyler, but mentally they are much different.
"It's no secret that they like to run the ball, but they throw it with success, too."
The only chink in the Tigers' armor was a 17-0 upset lost to district rival Red Oak that came on the last Friday night in October.
Red Oak is not chopped liver — the Hawks finished the year 7-3 and are also representing District 15-4A in the state playoffs.
"When the playoffs roll around anything can happen" Taber said. "It's a whole new game for everybody.
"Realistically, Lancaster has been defeated this year and they have not gone out and just totally dominated everyone from start to finish. As good as Lancaster has been, there have been several games where the opponent had a chance to beat them and we have to keep that in mind."
Most of Lancaster's close games came earlier in the season, however, and following the loss to Red Oak, the Tigers have knocked off opponents by an average score of 49-15, so it is safe the say that the Tigers are coming into the game in good form.
Statistically, the Tigers have gained an average of 402 yards a game while allowing the opponents just 236 total yards.
That 402 yard figure is broken down with the Tigers averaging 267 yards on the ground a night to garnering 136 through the skies.
Quarterback Demarcus Ayers (5'11", 165 lbs.) is the centerpiece of the Tiger offense.
Ayers has received at least 20 NCAA Division I offers and has verbally committed to Washington State University.
He has rushed 102 times for 857 yards for an average of 8.4 yards per carry.
Ayers has gone 67-119 — 1,005 yards and 13 TDs, 7 INTs via the air.
In a nutshell, he can run the ball, pass the ball and even catch the ball when called upon, so the Tribe defense will have to keep him in check if Jacksonville is to have a chance.
Running back Joseph Paden (119-847, 10 TDs) is another speed demon that has had a big year for Lancaster, who is coached by Chris Gilbert, this year.
The Tribe will be looking for leadership and performance out of its 27 seniors says Taber.
"It's been on those 27 seniors' shoulders all year to lead and for our younger guys to follow them," Taber said. "That want change any Thursday night."
NOTES: Jacksonville and Lancaster have never met in football...The winner between the Indians and the Tigers will advance into the Area round next week and will play either Lucas Lovejoy or Hallsville.

In this week's What's Going Around we're focusing on pertussis which is also known as "whooping cough."
Dr. Steve Schmitz from Afton Family Medicine is providing our medical information this week and is treating more people for whooping cough.
The main symptom is a cough lasting longer than two weeks. The cough usually comes in spells and severe coughing can cause vomiting.
Most people get better in 3-4 weeks without treatment, but antibiotics can help to cure it faster and help reduce the spread. Dr. Schmitz says there is also a vaccination against pertussis.

Downloading evolved with Metalink
Anyone who has tried downloading a popular software or Linux distribution on or just after release day, knows of the pain of the phrase "connection timed out". Getting the software can be quite a struggle, despite all the mirrors and BitTorrent Samaritans. Anthony Bryan's Metalink is an open standard that makes downloading easier, faster, and more reliable by helping users extract the last drop of juice out of their connection.
I emailed a set of questions to Bryan to understand what separates Metalink from other run-of-the-mill download accelerators and listen in awe as he explains how Metalink combines traditional HTTP and FTP methods of downloading files along with BitTorrent.
Read more about this in Mayank's interview with Anthony Bryan.Read Downloading evolved with Metalink in full
Copying a Database from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008 using the Copy Database Wizard
This article by Jayaram Krishnaswamy shows how to migrate a database from SQL Server 2005 (should work for 2000 as well) to SQL Server 2008 using the Copy Database tool in SQL Server 2008. In an earlier article we saw how this can be done manually by detaching the database from the SQL 2005 and then attaching it to the SQL 2008 server using the SQL Server Management Studio.Read Copying a Database from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008 using the Copy Database Wizard in full
Service Oriented Java Business Integration - What's & Why's
Many of you as (Java) programmers generate business purpose code, like "confirming an order" or "find available products". At times, you may also want to connect to external systems and services, since your application in isolation alone will not provide you the required functionality. When the number of such connections increases, you would be generating more and more of "integration code", mixed along with your business code.
In this short article, Binildas A. Christudas introduces the Java Business Integration (JBI) specification and discusses how it is covered in his new book, Service Oriented Java Business IntegrationRead Service Oriented Java Business Integration - What's & Why's in full
Customizing the Default Theme in Drupal
You have a Drupal website and an online store; your product catalog is online and you have set up customer and staff users on the site; the only complaint so far is how the website looks. You like the default design, but do not think it is appropriate for your site or your store; you want something more tailored to your business.
In this article by Michael Peacock we will learn how to customize the default theme in Drupal.Read Customizing the Default Theme in Drupal in full
Creating a Web Page for Displaying Data from SQL Server 2008
This article by Jayaram Krishnaswamy describes how you may connect to SQL Server 2008 and display the retrieved data in a GridView Control on a web page. Trying to establish a connection to the SQL Server 2008 is not possible in Visual Studio 2008 as you will see soon in the tutorial. One way to get around this, as shown in this tutorial, is to create an ODBC connection to the SQL Server and then using the ODBC connection to retrieve the data.
Visual Studio 2008 Version: 9.0.21022.8 RTM, Microsoft Windows XP Professional Media Center Edition, and SQL Server 'Katmai' were used for this tutorial.Read Creating a Web Page for Displaying Data from SQL Server 2008 in full

Network Configuration—Tunneling with Free BSD
When talking about tunneling, different definitions come to people's minds. Basically, tunneling is transmitting data that is encapsulated into a pipe, over a public network (for example, the Internet). However, there are different methods to tunnel data over a public network for different approaches. For example, when security is a concern, tunnel protocols with cryptography are more favorable. But when performance has higher priority, protocols with lower packet overheads will be chosen. FreeBSD 7 has a built-in support for a number of important tunneling protocols, although there are also many third-party applications in FreeBSD packages that support more tunneling protocols.
This article by Babak Farrokhi, introduces the manipulation of tunnel interfaces in the FreeBSD 7 operating system. Let's have a look into the following:

User Access Control in Drupal 6
In this article by David Mercer, we will look at an entirely different aspect of running a Drupal website. Once we have added the functionality to the site, we now have to give some thoughts about how this functionality is to be accessed, or by whom. As the site grows, you will most likely feel the need to delegate certain responsibilities to various people. Alternatively, you might organize a team of people to work on specific aspects of the site. Whatever is required, at some stage you will have to make decisions about who can do what, and Drupal makes sure that it is possible to do precisely this.
Having Drupal simplify the implementation of your access control policies does not mean that the task is a trivial one. There is still much thought that needs to go on behind the scenes in order to create a sophisticated, and above all, effective policy for controlling access to the site. Because of this, we will spend a bit of time exploring the ramifications of the various choices available, instead of simply listing them. Taking a holistic approach to implementing an access control policy will ensure you don't end up with any nasty surprises down the line.
Specifically, this article will look at Planning an access policy, Roles, Users, and Access rules.Read User Access Control in Drupal 6 in full
Users, Profiles, and Connections in Elgg
Ever been to a night club on a Monday morning? There's you, there are chairs, and the potential to host a party on the weekend. There are lots of buttons, lots of potential, but no one there except you. Unlike a night club, you don't have to wait for the weekend to host your friends on Elgg. Invite them as soon as you're done setting up the software. Elgg is designed to make it easier for you to invite people. If you've ever setup a blog or rolled out your own website, how long did it take before you could invite your friends over? You had to put up all sorts of content to indulge them, and also fiddle around decorating the portal so that it doesn't look dull.
That's where a social network is different from a regular website. Websites follow a two-way, one-to-many style of interaction, where the owner of the website, or blog, talks to all his visitors who respond with their comments, either on the website, or via e-mail. In this article by Mayank Sharma, we discuss about social networking software that follows a many-to-many style of interaction. Members interact with each other, and create their own content, which is then shared with all. This is then discussed and commented on by everyone. The owner of the site is like the perfect host. They mingle, discuss with everyone, but don't stamp their authority, unless you're naughty. They're like every other member, except for the fact that they own the place. Sounds familiar? So, you don't have to worry about content before inviting your friends. Your friends bring their own content.Read Users, Profiles, and Connections in Elgg in full
Implementing a Calendar Control in the Yahoo User Interface (YUI)
The Yahoo User Interface (YUI) Calendar control, allows you to easily create a variety of attractive and highly functional calendar interfaces which can allow your visitors to quickly and easily select single dates, or range of dates. There is also a range of different formats of Calendar that we can create; there's the basic, single-select, and one-page calendar control which displays one month at a time, or there's a larger, multi-page calendar which allows multiple months to be displayed at once. Multi-select calendars can come in either single or multiple month display formats. In this article by Dan Wellman, we will see how to implement a calendar control in the YUI.Read Implementing a Calendar Control in the Yahoo User Interface (YUI) in full
Designing and Creating Database Tables in Ruby on Rails
Ruby on Rails is a recent entrant in the world of web application framework. Ruby is the language used and Ruby on Rails is the framework built upon Ruby. In this article by A.P. Rajshekhar, we will be designing and creating database tables for a User Management Module (UMM). The UMM is responsible for Registering users, Modifying user information, Assigning roles or privileges, Viewing the user, and Deleting the user. Let us go forward and look at the background information required for designing and creating the database tables used for this module.Read Designing and Creating Database Tables in Ruby on Rails in full
Routing Rules in AsteriskNOW - The Calling Rules Tables
Philosophy: A route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing.
—Ambrose Bierce
While it appears that Ambrose Bierce has a little respect for Philosophy in general, he would surely refer to calling routing as—roads leading from a single point to multiple points, or something similar. The purpose of the "Calling Rules" is to define the methodology by which calls are routed from the PBX to the outbound world.
This article by Nir Simionovich deals with the routing rules in AsteriskNOW and the Calling Rules tables.Read Routing Rules in AsteriskNOW - The Calling Rules Tables in full

BEULAH — Two top Benzie County officials learned they may soon lose their jobs.
Benzie County commissioners voted this week to give administrator Chris Olson a contractually required 90-day notice that they don't intend to renew his contract in October. The board also placed Mike Fiebing, the county's solid waste coordinator, on paid administrative leave pending a hearing before the board.
Commissioners wouldn't specify their concerns about Olson's job performance. Olson said no reasons were articulated to him.
"It came as a surprise," said Olson, who's spent two years as administrator. "I had no information and no inkling that this was going to be discussed."
Fiebing's problems are rooted in his poor driving record. Commissioners suspect he drove without a valid license as he policed the county's recycling drop-off stations. Michigan Secretary of State records show Fiebing's license was suspended less than a month after he was hired on Oct. 22, 2012. His license has been suspended 13 times since 2002 for unpaid fines, which Fiebing said stem from "money problems."
Fiebing drove his personal vehicle June 5 when a Benzie County sheriff's sergeant noticed a cracked windshield and faulty brake light on U.S. 31 near Lincoln Road, a police report states. The deputy ran the license plate, determined Fiebing's license was suspended and initiated a traffic stop.
Fiebing paid his fines and his driver's license was reinstated the next day. He was arraigned last week on a charge of driving with a suspended license, second offense notice.
A committee requested he resign. He refused and asked for a hearing before the board.
"They made a judgment on a limited amount of information and this decision is really being fast-tracked even before my trial," said Fiebing, who added he paid a past monthly driver responsibility fine late and wasn't aware his license was suspended when he was pulled over.

The Daily Iowegian
---- — Iowa Trust and Savings Bank, with offices in Centerville and Moravia, partnered with local schools to celebrate "Teach Children to Save" with savings education on April 23.
Local children explored general bank products and services, learned how to identify expenses and how to save for the things that they want.
Established by the American Bankers Association in 1997, "Teach Children to Save" has reached more than 5.6 million young people through the commitment of more than 121,000 banker volunteers.
"This program gives us the opportunity to use our life experiences and banking knowledge to motivate students to become lifelong savers," said Renate Deininger, executive vice president of Iowa Trust and Savings Bank.
On April 23, employees of Iowa Trust and Savings Bank presented a program to the Family and Consumer Science Class at Centerville High School and to the sixth graders at Moravia School. On April 24, the Moravia preschool made a visit to the Moravia office of Iowa Trust and Savings Bank for a hands on tour of the facility.
"When we teach children to save we are promoting a lifetime of habit," said Deininger. "Teaching students to save is good for our future."
Sponsored by the Iowa Bankers Association and the American Bankers Association Education Foundation, National "Teach Children to Save" day is a day in April each year when bankers make presentations in schools across the country to students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Iowa Trust and Savings Bank is excited to be part of the American Bankers Association Education Foundation-sponsored program. The association's signature program, "Teach Children to Save," brings bankers and students together to increase financial literacy and is just one way that Iowa Trust and Savings Bank is committed to serving the community.

- Description
Rapid protein use is desirable immediately before and after exercise to help refuel recovering muscles, but delayed digestion and absorption may be more beneficial at other times – including bedtime when your body typically goes for hours without food. Casein proteins are acid sensitive and tend to thicken in the stomach. Because of this, it can take more than twice as long for our Gold Standard 100% Casein to be broken down into it's amino acid subcomponents than other proteins. By blending premium micellar and calcium caseins, we've created a protein formula that's truly time-released.
- Loaded with Micellar Casein.
- 24 grams of time-released protein per serving.
- Contains AMINOGEN® digestive enzymes to enhance utilization.
- Over 5 grams of BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine).
- Nearly 5 grams of Glutamine & glutamine precursors in every scoop.
* These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
- Supplement Facts
Consume approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day through a combination of high protein foods and supplements. For best results, consume your daily protein allotment over several small meals spread evenly throughout the day.TIP: Try using "slower" Gold Standard 100% Casein with "faster" proteins like 100% Whey Gold Standard™ or Pro Complex™ at different times for maximum effectiveness. Take Gold Standard 100% Casein immediately before bed and in between meals when delayed protein delivery is desired. Drink 100% Whey Gold Standard™ or Pro Complex™ proteins before and immediately after workouts for a rapid "shot" of amino acids.
SHAKER: Bringing a shaker cup with you to the gym is the best way to get a powerful dose of protein immediately after your workout. Just add one heaping scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein to your shaker cup and then pour 10-12 oz of your preferred beverage. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. Don't have a shaker cup? Visit www.optimumnutrition.com and order a custom shaker, or visit your local health food store or gym.
BLENDER:Add one heaping scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein to a blender filled with 10-12 oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. Blend for 20-30 seconds. Then add 3-4 ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds. SHAKE UP YOUR SHAKE: By adding a few high-energy ingredients to your shake you can blend up a delicious meal: try adding fresh or frozen fruits (strawberries, bananas, peaches, etc.), peanut butter, flaxseed oil, yogurt, coconut, slivered almonds, or other ingredients. STACK YOUR SHAKE: By adding supplements like Micronized Creatine, Glutamine, Taurine, and/or INSTANTIZED BCAA powders, you can make Gold Standard 100% Casein an even more powerful post-workout recovery product.
SPOON STIRRED: If you forgot your shaker cup or don't have time to get out the blender, you can just add one heaping scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein to a glass filled with 10-12 oz of cold water, milk, or your favorite beverage. Then mix it up with a spoon for about 30 seconds or until powder is dissolved.

- Health Notes
Casein ProteinCasein ProteinThis nutrient has been used in connection with the following health goals
- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:Weight ManagementSee Related Concerns (1)CloseObesityDose: Refer to label instructionsCasein protein in milk may aid weight loss due to its effect on appetite, calorie burning, and body composition.

In another controlled trial, overweight men were given a low-calorie diet along with a weight training exercise plan for three months. Men who followed this plan and also took 1.5 grams per day of predigested casein protein per 2.2 lbs body weight lost a similar amount of weight as did men using a similar amount of whey protein along with the same diet and exercise plan. However, the men using casein protein gained more lean body mass and lost more body fat than the men using whey protein.4References

However, in two double blind trials, measurements of muscle protein synthesis after leg exercises were similar whether casein or whey protein (either 20 grams or 0.3 grams per 2.2 lbs body weight taken one hour after exercise) was consumed. Other double blind studies have shown that adding protein supplements to a weight-training program improves gains in muscle mass and strength, but only one trial has compared using casein alone to other proteins for improving body composition and muscle strength. In this controlled trial, overweight men were given a low-calorie diet along with a weight training exercise plan for three months. Men who followed this plan and also took 1.5 grams per day of predigested casein protein per 2.2 lbs body weight gained more strength and lean body mass, and lost more body fat than did men using a similar amount of whey protein along with the same diet and exercise plan.ReferencesCasein is the main protein found in milk. Similar to other animal proteins, casein is a complete protein, providing generous amounts of essential amino acids.1 However, it is digested more slowly than most other animal proteins, resulting in a more prolonged release of amino acids into the bloodstream.2

Making waves in the Ruby world
There are three projects in the Ruby world that really stood out this summer: JRuby, Mongrel, and Ruport. It's not so much what they've done in terms of development (though that's been impressive), but how well they've communicated. This is something that a lot of projects don't do as well, so I wanted to take a look at what they've done in hopes that more projects might follow their lead.
Before moving on to the meat of this article, I'd like to introduce the three projects and some of their key developers.
JRuby has a growing cast of developers, but its face has been Charles Nutter for a while now. Two other important developers are Thomas Enobo and Ola Bini. Jruby is an implementation of Ruby on the JVM, it allows native interaction with Java objects, and is rapidly drawing attention in both the Ruby and Java worlds.
Mongrel is the brainchild of Zed Shaw. He's also got a cast of developers working with him on Mongrel and several of it's offspring. Mongrel is a secure, fast, Ruby implementation of a webserver (well, it includes some C), it has taken the Ruby on Rails world by storm. Mongrel has spawned a clustering tool; a number of plugins; and, most recently, RFuzz (a web server fuzzing tool).
Ruport is the work of Gregory Brown, who was able to work on it this summer as part of Google's Summer of Code program. He's also been joined by several other developers — notably during RuportDay2006. According to Gregory, Ruport "is a software library that aims to make the task of reporting less tedious and painful. It provides tools for data acquisition, database interaction, formatting, and parsing/munging."
Releases as communications
A key piece of these projects success in engaging the Ruby community has been their 'release often' strategy. While this is largely a development issue, it's also an important communication to the world that the project is alive, active, and interesting.
Ruport made ten Summer of Code releases this year! How can that many release escape anyone's attention? JRuby and Mongrel have both been busy as well, each seeing multiple releases this year.
With frequent releases, a project can also reward new contributors quickly. If someone contributes a useful new feature or a bug fix to your project and you can cut a release (giving them credit) within a couple of weeks, they get a much bigger emotional reward than if they'd waited months to see their patch make it out of a development tree. Happy contributors are much more likely to spread the word (and to contribute again).
Just making a release isn't good enough. You need to publicize it. A well written, interesting announcement is going to be your friend. Ruport's last announcement was 127 lines of goodness. Gregory did a good job, covering: an introduction to Ruport, "What's New" (including links to examples), information about downloading and resources, and a special section on Project news (giving nods to a number of volunteer hackers who'd made good thigs happen).
Sometimes announcements aren't about a new release, just a quick update on where and how things are going. Charles Nutter recently posted an example of this to his blog (here). In his post, he talked about: RubySpec, a project to write a Ruby specification for implementors; RubyTests, a project to build a comprehensive test suite for Ruby 1.8; work on blocks in JRuby; plans for JRuby and RubyInline integration; Mongrel on JRuby; and "JRuby Extras", a project collecting various JRuby support bits for a number of Ruby applications. It was an informative article that makes the reader want to jump in and get involved.
Beyond releases and announcements, there's another kind of heartbeat that lets people know that your project is alive and kicking — flat out, visible activity. If bug reports are being acknowledged, questions are being answered, and emails responded to then you're doing the kind of community relations work that will pay back in spades.
Zed is a master of this. He's done interviews (here and here), run contests (like the "pick a bug mascot" contest earlier this year), and regularily posts on the ruby-talk, rails, and mongrel mailing lists. He's even got other mongrel users getting in on the act. Ezra Zygmuntowicz (among others) is a vocal supporter of mongrel, and provides a lot of support to the community.
It's also been nice to see Charles' work in getting various projects working together — the RubyTests, RubyInline, and Mongrel information I noted above are good examples (I posted to my personal blog about this a while ago, you can read it here). Charles has also been interviewed (here), and been involved in articles about JRuby around the web.
Finally, all three key developers (along with a lot of their cohorts) are deeply involved in the Ruby community, responding to emails on the ruby-talk and rails mailing lists about all kinds of things outside the scope of their own projects. All three are involved in their local Ruby Brigades and have made presentations at Ruby Brigade meetings, Ruby/RailsConfs, and similar settings.
Wrapping Up
Giving your project the boost it needs is often a matter of public relations. To make your project better known and more successful, do what the Jruby, Mongrel, and Ruport projects have done — follow the three steps outlined above (release often, make good announcements, and be active in the community). You'll find the payoff is well worth the price.
Happy Hacking!
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Shop Talk
Retailers, consumers and prices
Check Out Line: Back to basics
While the holiday season celebrations have ended, shoppers are still bargain-hungry. We haven't seen major price cuts on hot items like the iPhone or Wii, though there does seem to be a trend brewing in bargain basics.
Here are just a few of the deals announced so far this week:
Pennsylvania-based Weis Markets cut prices on thousands of items for 90 days at its 155 stores.
"With consumer confidence at an all-time low and the poor economy, we know that our customers are looking for long-term ways to save money," said Weis Markets President David Hepfinger.
Whole Foods, longing to shed the "Whole Paycheck" nickname, just issued its latest Whole Deal circular that includes tips such as how much different types of grains cost per serving. There are coupons too, for basics like frozen pizza and vitamins.
It isn't just a U.S. phenomenon. Wal-Mart's Asda, the No. 2 supermarket in Britain, is cutting prices on at least 1,000 items. Asda said it is selling 200 health and beauty products like shampoo and deodorant and 100 frozen food items for 1 pound ($1.46) each.
Also in the basket:

Lezyne Mega Drive Front Light $199.95
The 8th wonder ....
The Lezyne Mega Drive XL Front Bicycle Light extracts 1000 lumens from a compact, self-contained headlight. The Mega Drive clamps to your handlebar, no cords or bulky battery packs, and lights up the trail in front of you. It's that simple.
The most obvious difference between the Mega Drive and other lights is the CNC'd aluminum body. In the event that you take a spill (not hard to do on a trail at night), the Mega Drive can handle it. The machined aluminum body also dissipates heat, which can damage Li-ion batteries over time. It also looks good. You'll downplay the importance of style, but let's face it–you don't want to hang some cheap, plastic gumball-machine headlight on your carbon race machine. The Mega Drive is sporting a redesigned power button that increases the headlight's water- and weather-resistance. The new power button contains the green and red LEDs that allow you to monitor battery level without losing a pedal stroke. When the headlight is on, the indicator (located on top of the light housing) will be either green, red, or flashing red to indicate power level.
Lezyne's Infinite Light feature is another unique innovation that adds versatility and usability for endurance riders, 24-hour racers, or anyone planning to outride the battery's burn time. If you burn out your battery, just pop it out and slide in a fully charged Li-ion. It sounds simple but it's a rare feature among trail lights and it allows you to ride as long as you want, depending on the number of backup-batteries you decide to carry.
Another performance-enhancing innovation is Lezyne's Constant Current technology. Constant Current delivers even and constant lumen output over the entire life of the battery without dimming or fading out as the battery loses charge. This feature increases efficiency to allow the Mega Drive to burn brighter, longer. The Mega Drive is also equipped with Lezyne's Maximum Optical Reflection one-piece internal reflection technology. The result is a light with fewer parts and a smoother, wider Uniform Power Beam.
The Mega Drive has three modes: Blast (1000 lumens), Enduro (500 lumens), and Economy (200 lumens). The battery is good for 1.5 hours, 2.5 hours, and 5.5 hours in each mode, respectively. Lezyne's design makes the Mega Drive visible from 180 degrees at night without illuminating your handlebars, which can be distracting. It includes Li-ion, rechargeable 18650 batteries and a USB charger, and a nylon handlebar mount.
The Lezyne Mega Drive Bicycle Headlight comes in black and is compatible with 31.8mm or 25.4mm road or mountain handlebars.

I use this for road biking, mostly just in case I get caught out late on a long ride. I was concerned it would be too heavy (can't really use as a helmet light), but it really hasn't ever concerned me and now I leave it on the bike most of the time just in case. Battery life has been great (at least as good as represented) and it is super bright. Only on rare occasions have I run it on full power because it can annoy oncoming people, cars and bikes. But 1000 lumens is nice to have when I am hurrying home down a back road in the otherwise pitch black. I got the "loaded" pack with an extra battery, but have never needed it and rarely carry it. But, again, I still like the option of up to 10 hours of light- maybe I'll go in search of a moonlight double century to ride. (Won't happen.) Mount on my round road bike bars is solid. Only thing I think could be improved is the beam pattern- it is pretty much round but with this much light capacity, I would prefer a triangle shaped beam. Oh, and it is a little slow to charge- definitely have to plan ahead. Nonetheless, I have a lot of hours on it and am really pleased.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Literally, I cut my finger while opening up the back to recharge it. The machined edges could be a little duller. The mount is also a bit loose and hard to get tight. On a road back it's not bad but I can't imagine it off road. I am very happy with the brightness; it feels like I have a car headlight attached and I feel safer riding at night (though I shouldn't really be riding at night because it is dangerous regardless.) Overall happy with the purchase.

After riding a year more, I'm reminded from time to time how bright this light is. Pedestrians have panicked as the bright light throws them into a state of confusion even coming from behind (I usually don't use the brightest state). Definitely don't purchase for a MTB as the mount is very finicky.

Cindy Campbell, the Pawling mother who lost her young son, Ty, to cancer in October, is hoping folks will join her and family members in standing up to the disease.
In light of World Cancer Day, which is today (Feb. 4), Cindy, her husband Lou and son Gavin are "standing up for Ty and all the kids."
She posted a blog entry about the effort, saying this:
Please help us to support this social media campaign by printing out a placard and posting a picture on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Go to http://wcd2013.su2c.org/ to get your own placard, then post your photo EVERYWHERE to help spread the word! Just follow Gavin's lead!
Ty Louis Campbell died at the age of 5. He was diagnosed with an aggressive and rare form of cancer just before his third birthday.
Since her son's death, Cindy has devoted herself to the Ty Louis Campbell Foundation. The non-profit, aimed at raising money for pediatric cancer research, was established when Ty was still alive. It was something the couple ran from home at the time. Now the foundation operates out of an office in Carmel.
Click here to read Cindy's blog, which details progress on the foundation (including a new website launching very soon).
