We have been working with our freinds in FOX to start a serier of hosting movie mini-sites that are powered by Silverlight.
Jumper (starting playing in US theaters today) is the first one.
The actual content is hosted on our beloved Silverligth Streaming service (it is Valentine's day today afterall)
The page is localized to several markets.
Enjoy (and expect future movie mini-sites to have more functionality with Windows Live Services). It will be an exciting year.
As discussed at PDC last year, Microsoft is working with Nokia to make Silverlight available for Nokia's phones.
Starting this week you can download the Silverlight for Symbian beta version runtime and tools from the Microsoft Silverlight for Symbian - Beta site.
This release is another milestone in our efforts bringing Silverlight to the leader in worldwide market share for smartphones, the Symbian platform.
With this beta release, developers can start targeting a broader range of devices using the same skillset and tools; specifically, this beta release performance profile is focused on media scenarios.
Also, since the Silverlight for Symbian bits are a subset of the desktop version of Silverlight, you can browse to mobile Silverlight implementation and the application will render correctly also on your desktop (which is useful for debugging).
Since this is still a beta release you may still run into performance issues or bugs. Please share your feedback with our team, we will listen.
The following resources will help you get started developing Silverlight applications for Symbian S60 devices:
In my last business trip I had the pleasure to meet the leaders of a small company that is betting big on Silverlight.
Shidonni is a collaborative that is targeting kids between the ages of 4-8 (way lower than other social networking sites) and is encouraging the concept of creation (kids can create their own interactive creatures), sharing (they can share them with their friends), interaction (playing games with their characters) and learning. Targeting kids of smaller age is interesting and possibly marks a trend. When I was 4 I was not interested in social network 9I did not know what they were), but my little kids certainly are more exposed to the digital world and this seems like an interesting approach for introducing kids to this virtual world in a safe manner.
Let your kid try it and let them know the reaction.
Some of you heard that part of what I did in Office 365 was thinking about education and how to help students and teachers. Well, my team just released a sample app that does just that.
The Contoso Learning Companion is a sample Windows application that demonstrates how students and teachers can run their teaching and learning more effectively with the help of Office 365 services and a modern Windows 8 application that eliminates the need to visit multiple Web sites that represent different classes. The application allows developers to easily build solutions to the education market.
Take a look at: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35556
You will need an Office 365 account to get this to run (if you are a school or just want to try, it will not hurt you at all to try), you can start here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/
Until next time...
It has been almost a week since a big wind storm hit the pacific northwest and my family is staying in an alternative house since our house is still without power (with sub freezing night tempratures). At least no trees ended on our roof. Well, now that we have some place warm to be, I could spend some more time looking at what people are doing with "WPF/E" and I wanted to talk about a sample on Mike Taulty blog that shows 12 videos playing and animating concurrently. Although it is simple we can learn two things about what you can do with "WPF/E":
1. "WPF/E" codec implementation is quite efficient. I do not have the best performing laptop and even though this is an early CTP, playback looks good.
2. Video (as represented from a Media element) is an integral part of xaml and the resulting experience. No more video islands.
What do you think?
Earlier this week, the Bing team showed a complete revamp of Bing's Webmaster tools at SMX Advanced Conference in Seattle. The Bing Webmaster team chose to focus on three key areas of interest to webmasters: Crawl, Index, and Traffic. Each area will offer detailed data going back as far as six months with dynamic charting capabilities, enabling webmasters to focus on the timeline trends that are most meaningful to them. The Tools are web-based, and basic functionality is available through most web browsers. However, to achieve the full potential of the Tools, a Silverlight 4 powered version is available. Silverlight enabled the Bing development team to provide a smooth, visual experience, enabling webmasters to better analyze important trends through connected visual data about their websites.

One of our favorite Vendors, Archetype (http://www.archetype-inc.com ) created this great Silverlight based Haloween greeting card.
You can carve your own pumpkin and send to your friends.
Try it, it is great (and is hosted on Azure): http://halloween.cloudapp.net/pumpkin/02a97183-d2c3-4b5f-a692-75c23da13703
The phone is here as well as the jury verdict. It is a good device.
I just got the new phone this week, and here are the 10 things I like about it:
Overall, this is a very good device that IMHO is a good alternative to Android and iPhone. I wish MS had a better business model to generate revenue from this business.
Happy Holidays
Ball Watch USA and Microsoft are teaming up to give you a reason to try the new Expression Studio 4 to build one of the Ball watches in Silverlight 4 like this. You can win one of the watches! Ball Watch Company has a line of beautiful railroad-inspired watches aimed at the adventurers that many of us aspire to be – their motto is "Since 1891, accuracy under adverse conditions."
Read more here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/synergist/archive/2010/06/07/enter-to-win-a-ball-watch-by-creating-one-in-silverlight.aspx
In December we released the source code for "Tafiti". A search visualization app that uses Live Search in the background and Silverlight on the front end to render search results in a compelling way. Tafiti is the first example we had for a dynamic application that renders temporal service data using Silverlight. We expect this area of synamic application to evolve and offer users more compelling experiences with their online services.
Now is your chance to look at the guts of this app and think how you can use this wizdom to create your own application.
What would be a better way of sharing your love other than using a free Silverlight customizable Valentine's day card?
The Silverlight and Windows Live teams collaborated on creating such a card as can be experienced here:
Note that the card was implemented in a way that allows universal use of it. You can use any language to compose your message. This is done by overlaying HTML DIV on top of the Silverlight UI.
Enjoy and remember to send your own card on time, Valentine's day is Feb 14th
This week at MIX we revealed a beta version of Silverlight 3. This version addresses many asks we heard from you from your Silverlight 2 experience.
There are tons of new things (in a package simiar in size):
Application Development
Out of browser
You can access the bits on http://silverlight.net
This is a great release and we have more good stuff in the pipe. Stay tuned.
next week I will be speaking at the SharePoint conference in Las Vegas (http://www.mssharepointconference.com/Pages/default.aspx).
I will be talking about the work my team has done to reimagine IRM services in SharePoint and SharePoint online. We did a lot of re-plumbing to ensure this unique service is available in the Office 365 cloud and also made some significant progress in improving the management of the feature, adding new capabilities (such as group protection), adding PDF to the list of file types we can protect and finally made the whole thing programmable. Read about this more at he official blog post: http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/blog/Pages/BlogPost.aspx?pID=1048 and let me know what you think. Obviously, you are welcome to attend my session in the conference to learn more: Deep Dive on Information Rights Management and SharePoint (Breakout Session 12: Wed 3:15pm – 4:30pm , SPC073)
A team of trail blaziers from MSN released last week the new MSN toolbar. This is the first commercial native Win32 application that uses Silverlight as its rendering engine. The chose Silverlight because of two reasons:
Try it today on http://toolbar.msn.com/Overview.aspx?loc=en-us
To the customer, the toolbar provides a simple way to be up to date on today's news. It is also enhances the search experience.
Download and Enjoy.
PS. the toolbar is compatible with Silverlight 1.0 and with Silverlight 2 beta 2 (and forward).
I spent the last month traveling, visiting the UK and my home country, Israel. Sun was abundant and thus my spirit is high.
Beyond some vacation and very close ancounters with Alpakas and Lamas (images will follow) I had the pleasure to meet some design firms that are already doing great things with Silverlight and some startup companies that are lookign into harnessing what Silvelright can do to the innovation they want to bring (more details about these in my next blog).
But now it is time to relax and enjoy the holiday season. It is my pleasure to introduce some jems that you can share with freinds:
1. http://www.wunderfulholidays.com/ - design your own gengerbread and share it.
2. http://www.seasonal-greetings.com/ - view a pencil drawn London
3. http://www.onlinespotlight.no/en/Christmas07/ - from the MSDN norway team
4. And my favorite: http://www.mason-zimbler.com/festivegreetings/ - absolutly a contender to the next eurovision song contest
Until next time.
just wanted to update you that the redesign of http://surface.com is now complete, offering a better experience for customers and partners. What you'll find:
The surface team is not done yet and you can expect to see more content coming along.
An important thing to know is that this whole site was built in two weeks. Great job by the Surface team.
Read more about Surface in their blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/surface/
Yesterday, at Internet Week New York we launched Expression Studio 4. This new version is shipping just 10 months after Expression Studio 3 and includes support for Silverlight 4, the .NET Framework 4, and interoperability with Visual Studio 2010 and TFS 2010.
In this version we movined to a new SKU structure that aligns with the the new Visual Studio and MSDN SKUs. There are now three levels of Expression Studio: Expression Studio Web Pro, Expression Studio Premium, and Expression Studio Ultimate.
Expression Studio 4 Ultimate is available to download here: http://www.microsoft.com/expression/try-it/
Important Note: If you are developing in Silverlight for Windows Phone 7, please do not install the released version of Expression Studio 4. You must continue to use the Blend 4 Beta and Add-in Preview for Windows Phone. This Beta will be refreshed with each Phone SDK pre-release and will be unified with released Blend 4 in a service pack which will release when the Windows Phone SDK releases.
We all want our applications and Web sites to be effective.
How does one know that the application is effective? How does one gather information about how the application is being used and interacted with?
Understanding this requires instrumentation (that is often done after the fact) and usually is a cumbersome process.
Well, at MIX you will hear how Silverlight empowers you to do this in a much easier way (It might actually blow you away).
My colleague Michael S. Scherotter is going to introduce and talk about the Silverlight Analytics Framework at MIX.
The Silverlight Analytics Framework is about to release next week (March 15 2010) on CodePlex as free open-source framework. The Framework is available for both in browser and out of browser Silverlight applications, is integrated nicely with the design experience in Blend and is supporting many analytic services it can report into.
The session on the framework will be on Monday 3/15/2010 at 2:00 PM at our Mix Conference in Las Vegas – it will be recorded and put up on the Mix site soon after so if you can't make it, you can still learn about it.
From my experience, after you try this, you will never want to look back. Michael and team did some amazing work on this.
Video is becoming more and more relevant format to convey information these days. Microsoft released today a new beta video portal that is a single repository of videos that Microsoft creates for various purposes (marketing, education, training and more). You can search and embedd videos in your blog like this one:
You can expect to see much more video content spread in Microsoft portal to help our customers.
The portal is using the MSN Video hosting service in the back-end and obviously uses Silverlight for the video presentation.
Andy Yeckel and Umesh Patel own this. Try it out.
It has samples (http://www.silverlighttoys.com/Samples.aspx) and Tutorials (http://www.silverlighttoys.com/Tutorials.aspx)
Sample code never hurts.
As of yesterday, developers can download the Bing Map App SDK and start building, testing and submitting applications to Bing Maps to be featured in the gallery.
To access the Bing Map App SDK, login to Microsoft Connect at http://connect.microsoft.com/bingmapapps (you'll need a Live ID, so make sure you have one). Download the SDK which comes with a Bing Map App template and start cranking away on your project in Visual Studio (note: the Bing Maps site was upgraded to Silverlight 4 - read more about the changes to Bing Maps). Once you've created your application, you can test it on the site itself. That's right! The developer sandbox is the actual site. You simply need to go to http://www.bing.com/maps/explore/?developer=1&preview=1, click the map apps button and you'll unlock our secret map app test tool.
Along with the SDK the Bing team also published new map apps from external developers – Weather by Weatherbug and EveryScape by Everscape.
And you can also win prizes by writing your map applications (by participating in the King of Bing Maps Challenge).
Check our more details in the Bing Maps blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/controlpanel/blogs/posteditor.aspx?SelectedNavItem=NewPost&WeblogID=5193
If you recall, until now when you installed Silverlight using the SDK Silverlight.js file, you could refresh the IE to view the content but needed to restart Firefox and Safari.
Well, thanks to Piotr from our setup team, things have changed dramatically.
You HAVE to read his blog post on this. It is simple and will make your customers happy.
Video playback on the web does not have to be boring. Check out this new implementation from the Channel 9 team. It plays, it resizes, it animates it entertains and it's alive
The year had just began and it is time to share some electronic greeting cards the design agencies we work with created, please share with your freinds and family.
Today was the ship party of Windows 8 in the Microsoft Campus. AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon where there in addition to Nokia and HTC trying to sell their services and devices.
There is a Microsoft program that subsidizes the phone (with a new contract) and since I am out of contract I need to select a phone.
I have looked at the following phones and have some Pros and Cons:
Nokia 920
Pro: Good camera (actually the best camera out of all the other models)
Con: Big and bulky
Pro: nice slim design. Good grip. The sexiest phone for sure
Con: Lousy camera
Nokia 820
Meh: size not too big but design is not unique
Meh: Camera is OK
A camera is important to me but does it justify the bulkiness of the 920?
What do you think? Should I wait for the Samsung ATIV?
Let me know.

Istanbul not Constantinople
Sunday 20 April 2008 by Andrew Gray. 6 comments
If we were sensible and thoughtful students, we would talk about the rich cultural experience we had today visiting the Blue Mosque, Topaki Palace, Basilica Cistern and Hagia Sophia. We would describe the centuries old Christian and Muslim history associated with these places, reflecting on the significant events and people that are part of Turkish history. But we are just your regular impressionable teenagers who are more likely to notice …
The Old City
Saturday 19 April 2008 by . 1 comments
The tour has been visiting some of the famous sites of the old city including the Hippodrome, Haghia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. These grand and glorious monuments tell us much of Istanbul's long history. This city is the former capital of three successive empires Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman. Egyptian obelisk at the Hippodrome(photograph by Rob Hegarty); Museum of Haghia Sophia (photograph by Rod Stewart) The Blue Mosque …
Simpson Prize has arrived
Saturday 19 April 2008 by Andrew Gray.
Merhaba - after a marathon plane flight we made it. Istanbul is awesome – huge, fast- paced, chaotic and full of people. A cruise on the Bosphorus was a great way to experience the city from the relative calm of our boat. We saw many palaces and mosques, and noted that nearly everything has a Turkish flag. Amazing houses right on the water, just like the OC but older and more expensive. We also cruised Istiklal St, just down from the …
Images of the Light Horse (1)
Friday 18 April 2008 by Mal Booth. 7 comments
My colleague Robyn Van Dyk and I have probably taken well over 1,200 people on guided tours of the Memorial's current special exhibition Lawrence of Arabia and the Light Horse. As ANZAC Day 2008 approaches it is interesting to reflect on which Light Horse images have resonated most profoundly with our visitors. This week, I also took some veterans from the Vietnam War through the exhibition. They had served in the battle for Fire Support Patrol…
Albatros Upper Mainplane Repairs
Thursday 17 April 2008 by Andrew Pearce. 2 comments
Upon removal of the fabric from the upper mainplane it was discovered that an extensive number of the ribs were damaged. Shattered ribs in upper mainplane. Note timber reinforcing panels nailed to rib faces. Work has been underway to repair this damage and give the wing much of its original strength. The presence of pre existing repairs indicate that this damage took place prior to the last restoration. Although some damage …
Dispatch from a Grandson
Thursday 17 April 2008 by .
It turns out that Rod Stewart, one of our fellow travellers on the tour, is also a fellow blogger. Rod's grandfather Edward John Howells served at Gallipoli where he was evacuated injured. He later re-entered the war and served in the Palestine Campaign where he was awarded the Military Cross for "great determination, skill and coolness under fire." Rod will be blogging about his experiences on the tour. A view of the pontoon …
Istanbul was Constantinople
Wednesday 16 April 2008 by .
Reaching Constantinople (present day Istanbul) was the objective of the Dardanelles campaign in 1915. An objective that failed. The battlefield tour, however, managed to arrive safely at Istanbul airport in high spirits and only slightly crumpled from the long flight. We checked into the Marmara hotel to 'freshen up' and in the afternoon we set off to cruise on the Bosphorus followed by a visit to the Egyptian Spice Market. …
The journey
Tuesday 15 April 2008 by .
Those of us travelling with the Memorial on the Gallipoli battlefield tour arrived in Istanbul today following a long journey from our various home ports. On a flight of over 22 hours it is inevitable that conversations would be struck and I met several Australians also travelling to Gallipoli. For the first leg of the trip I sat next to an Australian Vietnam war veteran. He was planning on touring the battlefields and to attend the Dawn Service …
Roll of Honour Photographs
Monday 14 April 2008 by Joanne Smedley. 16 comments
The Australian War Memorial is encouraging Australians to look through their family wartime photographs to find images of the more than 102,000 men and women who died while on active service, and whose names are on bronze panels of the Roll of Honour. The photographs will allow all Australians to remember these individuals as their families did. An online version of the Roll of Honour is available on the Memorial's website. Photographs are linked…
Albatros Fabric Research
Friday 11 April 2008 by Andrew Pearce. 6 comments
The Memorial has been able to gain access to substantial amounts of the original fabric, which was removed from the Albatros during the 1960's restoration with the exception of the rudder and the ailerons. Significant analysis of this material has been carried out in order to determine the correct details for fabric colours, panel widths and orientations, seam widths, rib stitching and the dimensions of rib tapes.Photographic evidence shows the …

Staircase handrails rely on the newel post—the large post that anchors the balustrade at the bottom of the staircase—for support. If the post is loose, the railing becomes wobbly and offers little support for guests climbing the stairs to turn in for the night. Here's How to Repair a Loose Newel Post.

Manoa Falls
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mānoa Falls is a waterfall in Manoa, on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, featuring a vertical drop of over 200 feet (61 m). It is accessible from the nearest road by a hike of approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km). The length of the hike will take approximately 2 hours and a third leg to reach the waterfall. The hike passes through many ecosystems and feels like an arboretum, which makes it a great photo-zone. The path to the waterfall is often muddy and slippery, and flash floods may occur at any time.[1]

Sonnet 2
by William Shakespeare
Symbol Analysis
Sonnet 2 opens with a metaphor that compares the way time wears away a person's face to the way an army attacks a castle. It used to be that if you were holed up in your castle, you were pretty much safe, since any army that tried to attack would get creamed when it got close to your castle walls. However, the attackers could choose to just surround your castle, close off your escape, and wait until you used up all your supplies and got hungry enough to give up. That kind of wait-and-see attack is called a siege.
- Line 1: Here the "forty winters" give us a strong image of how cold and merciless time is, waiting like an army at a castle wall, which Shakespeare cleverly compares to the young man's forehead ("brow"). Even though the "wall" of his face is strong now, we know who is going to win this battle.
- Line 2: Now that you have that first image in your head, Shakespeare starts to play with it a little. In the second line, he continues the extended metaphor of the siege. If that army is going to wait for forty years, they need to make themselves comfortable, so they have to dig a few trenches around the castle to protect themselves. These trenches are meant to stand for the wrinkles that come with old age, that carve themselves into our skin, which is our "beauty's field" (line 2). This is a nice bit of hyperbole (a poetic word meaning "exaggeration"). Wrinkles aren't as deep and jagged as a trench, but when you look at them closely in the mirror, and start to freak out, maybe they seem that way. One more thing: when you give human qualities to something like time, that's called personification. So, when Shakespeare compares the passing years to an army, he's personifying them. Of course, time doesn't have a personality or a brain, but in this poem it becomes a dramatic character with its own motivations.

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Scientists from Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Genome Institute of Singapore, and the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Singapore report finding the first miRNA that directly tamps down on p53.
Previous research has identified genes and miRNAs that indirectly affect p53. In the current study, investigators searched the p53 gene for any sites that matched with known miRNAs from two databases to find a direct connection.
They found that only miRNA125b potentially has p53 target sites in humans, zebrafish, and other vertebrates, indicating that it was important enough in cellular processes to be conserved through evolution.
The team then tested its effects on several types of cells known to express p53, including human neural and lung cells. When they reduced the amount of miRNA125b in the cells, p53 levels and the number of cells undergoing apoptosis both increased. An increase in miRNA125b, on the other hand, decreased levels of p53 and the number of apoptotic cells.
To confirm that miRNA125b played a similar role in developing organisms, the investigators also changed the miRNA125b levels in zebrafish embryos. When they reduced miRNA125b levels in the embryos, cellular p53 levels and apoptosis both increased.
"Taking all of this data together, the p53 pathway is a major target of miRNA125b," says Harvey Lodish, Ph.D., a Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research member and a professor of biology and bioengineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Most miRNAs have multiple targets, but there are a few cases that an miRNA has one major target, and this is one of them."
The study appears online March 18 in Genes and Development.

- auto-set tolerance (T);
A Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) system for medical diagnosis mimics the way doctors make a diagnosis. Given a new case, its accuracy in practice depends on successful retrieval of similar cases. CBR systems have had some success in dealing with simple diseases because of the robustness of their case base. However, their diagnostic accuracy suffers when dealing with complex diseases particularly those that involve multiple domains in medicine. An example of such a condition is Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) as it falls under both gynaecology and psychiatry. To address this issue, the paper proposes a CBR-based expert system that uses the K-nearest neighbour (KNN) algorithm to search k similar cases based on the Euclidean distance measure. The novelty of the system is in the design of a flexible auto-set tolerance (T), which serves as a threshold to extract cases for which similarities are greater than the assigned value of T. A prototype software tool with a menu-driven Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been developed for case input, analysis of results, and case adaptation within the system. Finally, the performance of the tool has been checked on a set of real-world PMS cases.

I'm planning an upgrade to my computer, in particular - motherboard, CPU and memory. I've heard that Windows 7 may require reinstall in this case - is this true? Is there a way to avoid reinstallation?
Just try and see. You have a good chance of this working with no ill-effects.
However, even if you luck out and do not require a reinstall, you will surely need to re-active Windows 7 : It can stomach a change to the CPU and/or RAM, but not to the motherboard.
Some thoughts and tips.
New motherboard with old windows 7 install
Generally Windows will handle most hardware changes, but:
I would generally prefer a reinstall (Windows doesn't take long to install, especially if using a USB pendrive, its the applications that are the problem) but might live with the transferred setup until I have time to do a proper job.

Another week, another court decision regarding Trinity Western University. The next stop, in all likelihood, is the Supreme Court.
The Christian university, which has fought in recent years to have its law students accredited by the country's law societies, won a case in the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal. But the decision was not quite so clear-cut.
The Nova Scotia Barristers' Society had tried to block graduates from the university — which maintains a mandatory abstinence pledge for its gay students, which many call outright homophobia — but the appeal court ruled that, to do so, the society would need a justifiable legal basis. And while one may exist, it does not apply to Nova Scotia.
"Trinity Western's activity occurred in British Columbia, and was outside the reach of Nova Scotia's Human Rights Act. As a private university, Trinity Western was not subject to the Charter of Rights," the justices ruled, according to a summary provided by the Court of Appeal. "Trinity Western did not act 'unlawfully' under either enactment."
As tensions have mounted this summer between law enforcement and black communities, there has been growing concern that the United States is headed toward a "race war". The term "war" evokes a special state of emergency, where civil liberties can be restrained and violence is permitted. But in this case "war" is a political term, not a legal one.
While some media might speak of a race war (small "w") just like the Bush administration spoke of a "war on terror", we shouldn't let the hyperbole distract us from the reality. Conflict and crime are governed by two very separate bodies of law. Police forces are not combatant armies in an armed conflict. When IHL isn't functioning to protect people from the worst excesses of violence, regular law should be functioning to protect people from all excesses.
War is legally defined as international armed conflict. A "civil war" is correspondingly called a non-international armed conflict. Where an armed conflict is taking place, a special body of law kicks in creating special rights and responsibilities for those involved. This is called international humanitarian law (IHL), also referred to as the law of armed conflict (LOAC, the term preferred by the Canadian military).
A recently published Standford Law white paper explores why diversity programs in law firms are failing:
It is clear that broader problems exist, and are not being addressed by existing strategies. These broader problems are complex and multifaceted, and have both structural dimensions—such as the impact on women lawyers of "conservative and rigid workplace structures," including the billable hour and associated expectations of total availability, or the opacity of firm management—as well as societal and cultural dimensions, such as the influence of implicit and in-group biases on purportedly "meritocratic" systems. These problems also manifest themselves in a number of ways, and ultimately result in disproportionate impacts upon the retention and advancement of women lawyers.

These problems also manifest themselves in a number of ways, and ultimately result in disproportionate impacts upon the retention and advancement of women lawyers.
Following the release of the white paper, Stanford Law then held a hackathon, the purpose being to shake up the dialogue surrounding the persistent diversity gap in BigLaw (The winner came up with a new and more gender neutral compensation model for law firms). Melanie Heller, the VP and general manager of Bloomberg Law, gave the keynote and challenged law firms to get serious about moving more women into law firm leadership positions:
I'm starting to think, after reading the Stanford white paper, and reflecting on the stories I've just relayed, that the billable hour issue really is, at the heart of it, a feminist one. Maybe it's the one we should all consider tackling first.
Canadian securities regulators in Ontario and Québec have recently introduced programs to encourage individuals to come forward and report information about known or suspected violations of securities laws. CBA National interviewed Keith Geurts and Ellen Snow of Clyde & Co Canada in Toronto about the launch of the two programs.
CBA National: How do the two whistleblower programs, in Ontario and Quebec, differ from one another?
Keith Geurts: The primary difference between the two programs is the form of incentive offered to potential informants. Under the program implemented by the Ontario Securities Commission, eligible individuals who provide information about possible violations of securities law may be entitled to monetary awards of up to $5 million if the information provided leads to an administrative proceeding pursuant to which over $1 million in monetary sanctions are ordered and/or voluntary payments are made. Monetary awards are available in the range of 5 to 15 per cent of the total monetary sanctions awarded against or agreed upon by wrongdoers, up to a maximum of $1.5 million. In cases where the monetary sanctions exceed $10 million and that amount has been collected, an informant may be awarded up to $5 million.
In Québec, the Authorité des marchés financiers Whistleblower Program focusses solely on maintaining confidentiality of the informant's identity and information as well as ensuring that the informant is not subject to reprisal in the workplace and is immune from civil suits. It does not offer financial compensation for information leading to findings of liability. The AMF considered the financial reward model and rejected it as part of its overall program. Its program is more similar to those in place in the United Kingdom and Australia where no financial incentives are offered. The AMF's rationale for rejecting monetary awards is that informants are primarily motivated by confidentiality protections and there is no conclusive evidence demonstrating that financial rewards result in higher quality reporting.
N: Does the Quebec approach surprise you?
In May the federal government moved one step closer to creating a national securities regulator by opening up consultations on a revised Capital Markets Stability Act – revisions based on previous consultations on the 2014 draft.
The CBA's Business Law Section brought together securities law experts from across the country to comment on the latest draft, as well as the 2014 consultation document on the capital markets regulatory system governance and legislative framework and a 2015 revised consultation draft and draft initial regulations.
A repeated recommendation in the latest submission on the Act from the Business Law Section is that the government should extend the time for consultations "to allow for more robust feedback" on the design of the federal regulator for opt-in provinces – British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario, New Brunswick, P.E.I. and Yukon.
On the whole, the Section says it supports many of the changes to the Act in response to previous feedback from stakeholders, but it still has concerns in a number of areas, primarily governance.
Canada's military justice system withstood a constitutional challenge today, as the Supreme Court of Canada ruled unanimously that the Minister of National Defence's authority over court martial appeals does not violate section 7 of the Canadian Charter
The case R. v. Cawthorne involved an officer — an ordinary seaman in the Canadian navy — who was accused of possessing child pornography.
At trial, presided over by a military judge, the officer's ex-girlfriend testified that he had told her about "inappropriate" images on his phone, and that he had been arrested for them. In cross-examination, she told the court that he merely made mention of the charges, but had not admitted his guilt.
But in re-examination, prosecutors asked her whether the accused, in fact, had admitted to her he had done these things. The ex-girlfriend responded in the affirmative.

As part of a weekly series leading up to The Pitch, the first-ever legal innovation startup competition hosted by the Canadian Bar Association and LegalX, we're asking each finalist the same 5 questions. This week's Q&A is with Loom Analytic's Mona Datt.
National: What made you realize that you wanted to build a business?
Mona Datt: Loom Analytics is actually my second venture. I have spent the last ten years building eDecree, a BPO that works with the legal and insurance sectors. I've always had an independent streak, and the freedom to create something from scratch is what attracted me to starting eDecree and Loom Analytics.
After graduating, I wrote my LSATs and was accepted into law school, but chose to continue practising engineering, before I started eDecree. I decided to start Loom because it is the perfect opportunity to blend my interest in law with my engineering background.
N: What unique problem are you trying to solve?
MD: We are trying to bring metrics and structure to case law. If a lawyer can sit at their desk and decide more quickly and more intelligently whether they want to pursue a particular motion, bring a case to trial or settle, take on a case in the first place, or assess business risk, then we'll have achieved our goal.
Call it the summer of consultations.
As the Liberal government looks to round out its first year in office, it is embarking on months of public canvassing on everything: from defense, to criminal justice, to counter-terrorism.
But none is bound to elicit quite the plethora of disparate reactions as pot.
"The Government understands the complexity of this challenge and the need to take the time to get it right," reads the introduction to the government's online consultation portal.
The consultations are designed to provide a roadmap to the ministers responsible for the file — Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, Health Minister Jane Philpott and Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale — as well as the task force struck recently by the government.
On the task force is a few familiar faces: primarily, chair Anne McLellan, who previously served as Deputy Prime Minister under Jean Chretien, as well as Minister for Justice and Public Safety. After politics, she joined Bennett Jones' Edmonton office. Joining her is two doctors, two mental health professionals, two cops, a former city councillor, and a law professor — Barbara von Tigerstrom, who teaches at the University of Saskatchewan College of Law.
The online consultation consists largely of a government-crafted discussion paper, designed to elicit essay-style responses from Canadians.
The paper lays out the array of different regulatory systems that could make up the backbone of the system that is intended to become Canadian law sometime before 2018: Should Canada manage commercial growers like Uruguay or Colorado? Should it, like both of those examples, place limits on the number of plants private individuals can grow? Should growers have to pay a fee? Should there be labelling requirements?
Now that the British public has voted to exit from the European Union, how will it affect IP rights? The CBA National IP Section has collated a number of tips to assist in your understanding of what changes are to come. There are still many more questions than answers. We shall endeavour to provide you with further information as it becomes known.
1. Keep calm and carry on!
Clients should continue with business as usual. The UK has two years (and maybe longer) to negotiate its exit from the EU (post-Brexit) and will remain as a member state until then.
2. What will happen to the EU Community Trademark?
The EUTM will not extend to the UK post-Brexit, but shall continue to do so until then. After the exit, brand owners will be required to obtain a UK trademark separate from a EUTM.
3. What will happen to the Registered Community Design regime?
The RCD regime will not extend to the UK Post-Brexit, but shall continue to do so until then. Post-Brexit, design owners will be required to obtain a UK design separate from a RCD through the Hague system at WIPO or through the UKIPO.
4. How will the European Patent Convention be affected?
Inspired by the CBA Legal Futures report on Transforming the Delivery of Legal Services in Canada, here's our biweekly round-up of noteworthy developments, opinions and news in the legal futures space as a means of furthering discussion about our changing legal marketplace.
A London law firm has started legal action to ensure the UK Parliament, not the Prime Minister, invokes Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty to start the UK's formal separation from the EU. The firm wants to ensure Members of Parliament get to vote on Article 50 – an opportunity to change the course of Brexit and remain in the EU. A petition calling for a vote in Parliament has accumulated the signatures of over 1,000 lawyers.
The inaugural graduating class of the innovative program at Lakehead Law is coming up against some obstacles in their search for employment. Firms and government departments often limit hiring of first-year associates to students who have articled with them. Lakehead includes practical skills training within their three-year curriculum, so graduates are not required to article. Gina Alexandris of Ryerson's Law Practice Program says the response is a knee-jerk reaction to an unfamiliar program: "In a profession where a lot is based on evidence, it's interesting how quickly some of our colleagues are prepared to make judgments without actually looking at evidence."
Skeptics claim international law isn't really law. Their argument often centers on the lack of enforcement – unlike domestic law, there is no global police force to arrest wrongdoers or to enforce decisions of international courts. Therefore, the argument goes, international law does not constrain the actions of states and is of little value.
It's more accurate to say that this lack of direct enforcement makes international law different, not meaningless. Its influence is visible even in the recent judicial decision regarding the South China Sea.
On July 12, the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) released its award in the case between the Philippines and China. At issue were three main legal questions, which the five-member panel largely decided in favor of the Philippines. The decision is not a final answer to region's disputes. For starters, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia also have claims that overlap with China's claims, marked by the so-called "nine-dash line."
China, unsurprisingly, dismissed the ruling. President Xi Jinping declared it will not affect Chinese rights or policy "in any way." Indeed, China refused to participate in the legal proceedings and maintains that the PCA has no jurisdiction. China continues military maneuvers in the region, and even landed two civilian planes on built-up airstrips in the Spratly Islands last week. It also maintains the right to create an air defence identification zone, requiring all foreign planes to file flight plans and identify themselves over Chinese-claimed airspace.
In a series of much noticed interviews, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the Supreme Court of the United States made it perfectly clear that she does not think much at all of Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for the presidency. Such overt and public condemnation of a candidate for office by a sitting member of the Supreme Court is apparently unprecedented in the United States (though then-Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's privately expressed dismay at the prospect of Al Gore's election in 2000 became public knowledge). Justice Ginsburg's comments have been widely condemned, including by the editorial boards of the New York Times and the Washington Post, and she ended up expressing regret, although not quite apologizing. Still, there might be some lessons to draw from this imbroglio.
One lesson is that appearances matter. It's not exactly a shock that Justice Ginsburg doesn't like Mr. Trump. (For the record ― I don't like him either.) Indeed, given the contempt of many prominent right-leaning legal academics for Mr. Trump, it wouldn't exactly be surprising if all of Justice Ginsburg's colleagues, not just her habitual ideological allies, felt the same way. Why, then, should we care that Justice Ginsburg publicly expressed what we could reasonably guess she already thought? Some people, indeed, have been praising her for her "transparency." But we insist on judges keeping an appearance of neutrality, even we can guess their likely thinking on an issue, for a good reason. It's not merely, as some have said (following La Rochefoucauld), a matter of the vice of bias paying homage to the virtue of impartiality. A judge having an opinion on a social controversy is not in itself a vice, because to have no such opinions at all, judges would need to be quite out of touch with the society in which they live. But so long as the judge keeps that opinion to him- or herself, or at least does not publicly commit to it, there is a better chance that he or she will be able to set it aside when adjudicating, or even to revise it in the face of proof and argument. It is human nature to stand by opinions to which one is publicly committed, and the judicial duty of reserve is supposed to shield judges from the temptation to seek consistency by closing their minds.
Another lesson is, I am afraid, that age matters too.

The Arsenal is home to NYC Parks, the Arsenal Gallery, the City Parks Foundation, the Historic House Trust, and the Wildlife Conservation Society. It is one of two buildings within the park's borders which predate the park itself. It was built between 1847 and 1851 by the State of NY as a storage repository for munitions. The project's funding was overseen by state comptroller Millard Fillmore, who later became President of the United States, Designed by architect Martin Thompson, the building is marked by a crenulated cornice, resembling a medieval fortress. Its doorway is guarded by a cast-iron eagle. The building's military use proved short-lived. Between 1853 and 1856, the State seized the land under it for a public park. In 1857 the City purchased the Arsenal for $275,000, removed all arms, and established park administrative functions on the premises.
Currently on-view in the Arsenal Gallery is "Swampland: Photographs by Ruth Wetzel." Wetzel, who will be on-site to discuss her work during OHNY Weekend, spends hours trekking through wetlands photographing diverse plant life and ecosystems found in New York. She isolates intimate details in swamps—plumes of sediment, verdant foliage, and colorful reflections—allowing abstract forms to shine. Swampland includes over 30 photographs of wetlands around her upstate Stone Ridge, New York home and New York City.
Sunday Tour Info: Tours every 30 minutes, beginning at 10am, will be led by NYC Urban Park Rangers, and will visit the Arsenal Lobby, Gallery and Roofs. Last tour leaves at 3:30pm.

My first exposure to Support Vector Machines came this spring when heard Sue Dumais present impressive results on text categorization using this analysis technique. This issue's collection of essays should help familiarize our readers with this interesting new racehorse in the Machine Learning stable. Bernhard Scholkopf, in an introductory overview, points out that a particular advantage of SVMs over other learning algorithms is that it can be analyzed theoretically using concepts from computational learning theory, and at the same time can achieve good performance when applied to real problems. Examples of these real-world applications are provided by Sue Dumais, who describes the aforementioned text-categorization problem, yielding the best results to date on the Reuters collection, and Edgar Osuna, who presents strong results on application to face detection. Our fourth author, John Platt, gives us a practical guide and a new technique for implementing the algorithm efficiently

GSD Course Bulletin - Spring 2014
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:55:41.
Courses taught by Richard Peiser
05212: Field Studies in Real Estate, Planning, and Urban Design: East Chicago, IN and Malden, MA (SES 0521200)
Urban Planning and Design
Lecture Workshop - 4 credits
Wednesday 1:30 - 4:30 Gund 109
Richard Peiser
Course Description
The Field Study course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the dynamics and complexities of reality that create contemporary urban physical environments. The course emphasizes the integration of design and development aspects of projects that respond to realistic market demand, political, financial and other regulatory constraints - how financial implications affect planning and design and vice versa. The course is intended for architects, planners, real estate students, landscape architects and others who want to improve their skills in design and financial analysis within the context of real world urban development. The class will be divided into two groups each focusing on one of the two field studies described below.
Rebuilding the Industrial Lakefront and Downtown in East Chicago
This field study will focus on economic development for the waterfront and adjoining downtown and residential area of the City of East Chicago. East Chicago is part of the industrial heritage corridor along the shore of Lake Michigan. It is located just across the Indiana border, 35 minutes from downtown Chicago. The waterfront and adjoining downtown and residential districts are undergoing redevelopment as the historic industrial area is repositioned for new economic uses including a recently developed casino. The course is jointly sponsored by the East Chicago Department of Redevelopment and The Community Builders. The class will focus on creating a viable vision and master plan for redeveloping four neighboring areas: the marina district and waterfront, the Main and Broadway Mixed Use "Main Street", the Residential and Education District with workforce and subsidized housing, and the public lakefront commercial/residential destination district.
Housing for the Asian Community and Economic Development in Malden, MA
Students in the Malden field study will work closely with the Asian Community Development Corporation to select a site, design and implement development of new affordable housing for the community. They will investigate possible partnerships with for-profit developers for a larger project that combines affordable housing with market-rate housing and possible retail. They will also work closely with the redevelopment agency in Malden to redevelop selected parts of the town center. Redevelopment considerations will include offices for city employees, housing, transit-oriented development, retail, parking and open space as a 24 hour lifestyle destination for both residents and workers. Architects in the class will have the opportunity to produce detailed designs for the mixed-income housing to serve the Asian community in Malden.
For both field studies, students will examine precedents around the world and study the literature about strategies for redevelopment of industrial cities. The class will give students an immersion experience in real world redevelopment with clients who will put the students' recommendations into practice. Students will prepare master plans for the area including infrastructure and open space and then will select a site within the study area for detailed urban design-scale visions of redevelopment. The work product will include market analyses, master planning, strategic planning, urban design, and financial analysis. Implementation strategies including public-private partnerships will also be addressed. Students will work with private and public officials as well as non-profit housing providers to produce visions that will contribute to what is ultimately built. This course exposes students to public and private development situations within the context of real-world stakeholders, clients, government officials, and financiers.
05275 [M3]: Advanced Real Estate Finance (SES 0527500)
Urban Planning and Design
Lecture - 2 credits
This course is a module. It lasts the first half of the semester only.
Monday Wednesday 4:30 - 6:00 Gund 109
Richard Peiser
Course Description
This course builds on GSD 5204 and comparable introductory real estate courses offered by other schools at Harvard. This year's course covers five main topics: (1) advanced financial analysis and deal structuring for land, building development, mixed use development and acquisitions, (3) REITS, public real estate markets, and market cycles, (3) Buying distressed debt and non-performing loans with emphasis on Asian capital markets, (4) Dealing with CMBS loans and investors in distressed real estate, and (5) international real estate funds.
The objective of the course is to give students in-depth development and financial analytical skills for project development, real estate finance, and fund management. Using case studies and lectures, the course focuses on advanced real estate finance topics for all major real estate product-types including apartments, office, retail, industrial, single-family, and land development. The course also emphasizes financial structuring and key decision-making for all phases of the development process including site selection, due diligence, design, financing, construction, leasing, operations, and sales. The skills taught in this course are essential for students seeking private and public sector real estate jobs in development, finance, and fund management.
Prerequisite: Students should have previously taken either GSD 5204 or an equivalent course providing the basic real estate finance and valuation skills, or should receive permission of the instructor.
Paired Course: Students are strongly encouraged to take 5276 M4 - Building Real Estate Enterprises and Entrepreneurship (Frank Apeseche) which meets in the same time slot and room as 5275 M3. 5275 M3 and 5276 M4 replace GSD 5303, offered in previous years.
09201: Independent Study by Candidates for Masters Degrees (ADV 0920100)
Independent Study - 4 credits
Ann Forsyth, Beth Altringer, Neil Brenner, Joan Busquets, Felipe Correa, Diane Davis, Peter Del Tredici, Sonja Duempelmann, Ed Eigen, K. Michael Hays, Michael Hooper, Jane Hutton, Niall Kirkwood, Joyce Klein-Rosenthal, Sanford Kwinter, Kiel Moe, Richard Peiser, Robert Pietrusko, Peter Rowe, David Sanderson, Jorge Silvetti, James Stockard, Maryann Thompson, Bing Wang, Matthew Wilson, Cameron Wu, Rahul Mehrotra
Course Description
Students may take a maximum of 8 credit units with different instructors in this course series.Prerequisites: Graduate standing. Candidates may arrange individual work focusing on subjects or issues that are of interest to them but are not available through regularly offered course work. Students must submit an independent study petition and secure approval of their advisor and of the faculty member sponsoring the study.

Consider the given initial value problem
This is comparing with the initial value problem
To find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the coefficient matrix:
First, set the determinant equal to 0 to find the eigenvalues.
Continuous previous steps are follows:
Therefore, the eigenvalues of the coefficient matrixare
Next, set equal to 0 to find the eigenvector.
To construct a fundamental set of solutions:
Now that you have the eigenvalue and the eigenvector, use them to determine a fundamental set of solutions and use that to determine the general solution.
A solution is given by, where is an eigenvalue and x is its eigenvector. Therefore, is a solution
To find a second solution, solve the equation.
Continuous previous steps are follows:
Therefore, we can choose arbitrarily and then find the corresponding.
Letting, we get, so is a vector we can use for the second solution.
Combining this vector with the eigenvector, we get
