Earlier this month, we published the latest version of the BSB
Handbook. The new version, which you can find
on our website, introduces new Authorisation to Practise
requirements, streamlines the public and licensed access rules, and
introduces new obligations for barristers and BSB regulated
entities to comply with the new Anti-Money Laundering
These are important and necessary changes. They introduce four
new reporting requirements whenever you are applying for or
renewing your practising certificate. In addition to the existing
reporting requirements, you will now be asked to:
You can read more about the new Anti-Money Laundering
Regulations and our new requirement to register your Youth Court
work with us in this edition of Regulatory Update. We do try to
minimise the burden that our regulations impose but we are
convinced that every one of these new disclosure requirements is
essential and will help us to regulate the profession better. They
were also of course the subject of a consultation that we ran last
year, and the inclusion of them in the latest edition of the BSB
Handbook follows the subsequent approval of the new rules by the
Legal Services Board.
Pending the approval of the Legal Services Board for their
removal, the rules concerning the Quality Assurance Scheme for
Advocates (QASA) remain in the Handbook but the BSB has made clear
that this Scheme will not now be implemented.
With our annual Authorisation to Practise window to renew your
practising certificate due to open soon, I hope that you will find
our new MyBar portal in association with the Bar Council, helpful
and easy to use when you renew your certificate.

Marks Barfield takes a holistic approach to sustainable development. It recognises that sustainable development encompasses economic, social and environmental issues, and is not confined to the building envelope. The practice has received ISO 14001 accreditation which highlights a commitment to sustainability in both the performance in the office and throughout the lifetime of the projects.
Marks Barfield has experience in many key sustainable design areas which we use to assess projects, such as solar orientation, photovoltaic cells, passive heating and cooling, natural ventilation enabled by chimney stacks, orientation, the use of local features such as water to create cooling, grey water schemes and drilling down to aqua levels to obtain water. Hazardous materials are not specified, only timber from managed renewable sources and endeavours are made to check all materials for sustainability and conditions of production. Marks Barfield would manage the Quality Control and early checking of construction information and drawings as well as inspecting control samples of work to avoid waste during construction.
Marks Barfield believe that services engineers should be involved in the design process at the earliest stage and recognise that their contribution can influence the orientation, the form and skin of the building. The external environment can supply useful energy to a building in the form of light, heat and cooling, and water. The energy needs of the building can be reduced by using the building skin as a filter or moderator of a free energy exchange between the internal and the external environment.

So we're 6 episodes into Melrose Place and I haven't given up just yet. The show remains tolerable bordering on mildly entertaining, if for no other reason than having the (dis)pleasure of witnessing the trainwreck that is Ashlee Simpson (Wentz)'s acting on a weekly basis. Seriously, I've decided that the girl must be a zombie of some form. Her combined wooden voice, blank stares and bony appearance (and seriously...the girl just popped out a baby) just don't seem human.
Note to Dr. Michael Mancini. Any patient that shows up in your office dressed like that is probably trouble...
This week was a Violent-centric episode, so naturally it was one of my favorites thus far. We start with her rifling through Auggie's room (he's away surfing in Cabo and completely absent from this episode) and seductively rubbing herself all over his bed and clothes and stuff because you know...totally normal.
While snooping, Violet finds a letter from Sydney in Auggie's dresser describing her ex-husband woes. Since the letter refers to "Michael", naturally Violet immediately knows that this must be one Dr. Michael Mancini and hightails it over to his hospital. But before this, she puts on her skanky best and then downs a bunch of coffee and Red Bull so as to "feel like she's dying" and have an excuse to visit a cardiologist. The good doctor is initially alarmed by Violet's appearance in his office, but she convinces him to examine her, though they soon learn Violet "looks like a very healthy young woman" and merely consumed too much caffeine (said by Dr. Michael Mancini in very much the "I want to bone you" intonation after he also had taken an extended looksie at her breasts during the examination; he's so classy!). Since Violet doesn't have medical insurance (omg, CW wants you to think about health care reform), the exam is "off the books".
Of course, Violet wants to "take care of" Dr. Michael Mancini like he took care of her, so she invites him to Cole for some drinks. He shows, they flirt, but then he gets a call from his wife, who is having trouble with their autistic(?) child (something's wrong with the kid - I don't remember if we know exactly what and I don't care enough to look it up), so he has to head home. But wait! Violet - in a totally-not-creepy sort of way - shows up in the also-not-creepy back alley where the doc is retrieving his Mercedes to make sure that he is safe to drive. She requests that he "make her feel better" and some hot spicy car sex follows.
The next afternoon, Dr. Michael Mancini returns to his home to find his wife interviewing their new nanny candidate (who just registered at the agency that day). If you've ever watched any sort of trashy TV on any channel ever, you would know before it was shown that said candidate was none other than a winking Violet Foster. Michael demands to know what her ballgame is, and she reveals not-iPhone footage of their hookup and announces that she's going to make him pay for hurting her mother.
Other stuff happened in this episode too:
1) Lauren's hooking intersected with David's art-thievery on some sort of mafia-boat-party, so she had to get Frannie from Greek to help her sneak off of the boat before David noticed her. David ended up getting beat up and Lauren took him over to the hospital. Do I sense a love connection between these 2?
2) Jonah's having money troubles. Riley gets discovered and is going to model jeans for money. Ella is less than thrilled. Yayyyyy!
I could talk more about the show's additional characters, but really I just wanted to focus on Ashlee's genius work this week.
But for a few additional thoughts:
-I'm glad Michael Mancini made the comment that "clearly Violet didn't think he was her father" because...incest...gross, but how has Violet ruled this out as a possibility?
-I'm assuming the show can't afford Josie Bissett on a weekly basis, but it's a little weird that she was introduced as this big new villain last week and then was neither seen nor heard from at all this week.
-Somebody should tell Lauren that all of her designer dresses that she seems to be buying for her hooking will slow down the process of paying for medical school (which means she'll have to do more hooking which means she'll have to buy more designer dresses which means...)
-I liked Michael Rady's Jonah for the show's first 2 weeks (and Jessica Lucas's Riley)...but these 2 have quickly gotten boooorrrrring. These days, beyond Ella - clearly the show's best character - I'm liking where they're going with David, who seems to have a little more depth and intrigue going for him than those 2 snoozefests and Lauren.
-"Do you drink a lot of caffeine? Because sometimes that can cause a racing heartbeat." - OMG, Dr. Michael Mancini. You are the best. Cardiologist. Ever.
So how's everyone liking Melrose Place lately?

Hi Friends! I'm super excited to bring you another haul video today. You guys seemed to really like my Trader Joe's Haul, so when I was shopping at Whole Foods last week I thought I'd capture what I bought.
I'm certainly not a huge spender when it comes to food, but if there's anything we spend money on, besides travel, it will likely be food. We also rarely eat out so our food budget ends up being much cheaper than anyone who eats a lot. Though I will admit, it's probably higher than most.
Food and wellness are passions of mine. Though they certainly aren't hobbies, I am always curious to try out new products and test them out for myself. It's also necessary that I share that being in the position I am in, I also get a lot of products sent to me for free (which I always disclaim).
What I increasingly am becoming aware of as THM grows is the importance of noting the distinction between products that are essentials vs. products that are splurges, or non-essentials. I work with brands whose products I love, but can also recognize are not necessary to lead a healthy lifestyle. I get my Care/of vitamins shipped to my door and while they do offer great discounts, I also realize that supplementation is not for everyone and certainly not an essential. I also work with brands like Tropicana and Simply Organic that are far more accessible and affordable and are easy substitutes to life healthfully.
And sometimes I got to Whole Foods and spend $8.00 on a bar of organic, handmade chocolate and $6.00 on a bottle of almond milk that is half the size and double the price of its competitors. These are my splurges. They're how I'm choosing to spend my money and while I certainly recognize the privilege of this, I want you guys to feel empowered to splurge or save on items in your own life.
The wellness industry is only getting bigger and more lucrative and more and more people like myself are popping up. People they call "influencers". A term, which in truth I cannot stand. But here's the thing, we DO have influence and that's not something I want to take lightly.
I have no intention of changing my sponsorships or the amazing brands I get to work with. I develop relationships with these brands and they are all products I use in my own life. If my choices can inspire you, that's amazing! But never feel pressured or insecure should your choices be different.
So that's my PSA for today. I hope you enjoy the video and I can't wait to hear what items you splurge or save on!
Thoughts on this? Do you think it's okay to promote less accessible or "splurge" products?

I take on board > > Iam not sure if a disable, or enable flag or maybe even a int bit_reservoir > size would be best. Besdides this, yes i would like to have such a thing. Well, as using a bit reservoir is common practice (for MP3 anyway) and produces higher quality, it seems to me that it should stay the default. Hence a flag to disable it would be more appropriate than one to enable it. As for a bit reservoir size, it is beyond my understanding to know whether that would be useful. As I understand it, the size of the bit reservoir continually varies (presumably that's why it's called a reservoir) and there is a set limit (part of the codec spec?) as to how big it is allowed to grow (i.e. how many bits of the current frame are allowed to be encoded in previous frames). The use case for why it's useful to turn it off completely is to be able to cleanly split the audio between frames - I can't see how being able to vary the maximum size would be useful in a practical context, apart from theoretical experiments to measure the difference in quality. We don't need to support those, right? So I am still in favour of a flag to disable it. This could be used by MP3 and WMA. As far as I can see the WMA encoder is currently hard-coded not to attempt to use the bit reservoir - it could be changed to use the flag in AVCodecContext but then the problem would be that there is an assert() that will fail, because bit reservoir usage is not implemented in the encoder. So I'm not sure what to do about the WMA encoder. Would it be acceptable to put in some code that prints a warning that the bit reservoir will not be used even though it is specified? I mean just so there is some reference to this AVCodecContext disable bit reservoir flag there so someone hacking the code in the future will be reminded to use it. Or is that not needed? Paul

Laura Kenyon
Laura Kenyon recently revived her iconic cabaret creation, June Cool, in June Cool…Alive! at Pangea as the final presentation of the second season of the TWEED TheaterWorks series Happy*Cry*Pretty! This was by far the most theatrical evening of this season's program, so in some ways it felt as though the prior evenings had been building to this show. It is actually a somewhat abbreviated version of a larger musical following June Cool's life from young star-struck girl to aging songstress eager to reach a new generation by turning her long-ago-hit LPs into the "new" sensation, CDs. There was a supporting cast of seven who portrayed the men in her life—father, lovers, employers, landlords, record execs, cops, and most delightfully, chorus boys in numerous production numbers. Even when the show veered from delightful musical comedy into moments of surprisingly effective drama, Kenyon and company were so obviously enjoying themselves and having a good time that we couldn't help but get swept along with them.
Kenyon conceived the show and co-wrote the book with composer/lyricist Dennis Deal, who also directed. It has a backstage bio plot that, while managing to hit most of the tried-and-true clichés of a hundred musicals, also managed to make them fresh and specific. The score covered Top Forty radio, Vegas lounge, hip jive, emotional ballads, and humorous specialty numbers, and it was filled with songs that had a wonderfully "lived-in" feel, each one fitting its moment both lyrically and melodically. I'm happy to report that the lyrics proved as accomplished as the melodies. Musical director Ian Herman was a wizard on the piano and an orchestra all on his own, playing each style perfectly.
The men in the show played multiple characters, and each had moments to shine—and shine they did, with special mention of Jonathan Pennington as Alan, June's poetry-writing, finger-snapping, bead-wearing beatnik love interest; he combined hilariously clueless "hipness" with genuine swoon-inducing romance, and his expressive voice was a delightful musical match for the star. Blake Price, in addition to singing and dancing with flair, had some genuinely touching moments as the singer's long-lost son.
And then there was Laura Kenyon! Entering turbaned as a kind of low-rent Norma Desmond, she grabbed the audience with her first note and didn't let go. She hit just the right tone, whether she was the innocently excited beginner, the woefully under-equipped B-movie star, or the Vegas showstopper. The years have deepened her voice, not only in range but in emotional depth as well. She sells a comedy lyric as well as anyone, and her razor-sharp delivery provided delightful satirical commentary on recognizable genres—but the comment never got in the way of the sensational vocals. When called upon, she let her heart take over in a ballad and hushed the room.
I can't wait to see this piece in a full-blown production, fleshed out with a bit more book and a few more great songs. For now, the intimate space at Pangea gave us a close-up look at what already feels like a hit in the making. There was a genuinely ecstatic ovation at the end, and I wholeheartedly joined in.
June Cool…Alive!
Pangea – April 10

The latest personnel announcement included AutoGravity appointing Meesh Pierce as vice president of product management.
"Meesh is a seasoned leader with deep expertise in building industry-changing products.

There, she was responsible for planning and managing cross-business platforms, collaborating with business and technical stakeholders, and supporting Fandango's core data, content, customer authentication and global payment systems.
Before her role at Fandango, Pierce spent more than 10 years as a product, strategy and marketing consultant across a variety of industries and brands, including Epson America, Energy & Power Solutions, luxury hospitality and luxury real estate private equity.
"AutoGravity is uniquely positioned to transform the way millions of consumers buy and finance their cars," Pierce said. "The disruption and sea changes that have begun in the automotive industry mirror the innovation we've seen across the energy sector, travel and entertainment industries.

It's been four days since the 2010 Oscars premiered at the Kodak Theater on a cold rain-filled Hollywood night. Yet, we're still talking about it. We saw history being made, we saw dresses being judged, and we also make jokes about the whole event. That's Hollywood for you.
When Kate Winslet walked on to the TV screen wearing a silver strapless gown by Yves Saint Laurent, I'm sure the damp red carpet was quickly evaporating. She radiated with beauty, looking like she stepped out of a time machine. She brought that old Hollywood glamor that only those starlets back then possessed.
When Taylor Lautner and Kristin Stewart introduced a tribute to horror films, I was horrified. What were they doing there? They weren't accomplished actors–they didn't do any movies that were Oscar-worthy. I'm not a big fan of their acting chops either, particularly Stewart. And why was "Twilight" part of the Horror genre? Then it hit me when I saw a parade of other young stars like Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, and Miley Cyrus, who haven't quite established Oscar-worthy performances either. This was Hollywood's ploy to gain younger viewers. They got to catch us when we're young, right?
When Sandra Bullock won the award for Best Actress, I was ecstatic. I absolutely love her and her other funny movies, so to see her win an award for a dramatic one–that's huge! However, I would've liked to see the award go to Merryl Streep for her role as Julia Child in "Julie and Julia" mainly because mimicking Julia Child is no easy task. But I'm fine with Bullock winning.
When Katherine Bigelow became the first woman to win "Best Director," I wasn't shocked. But I'm sure it was definitely an F-U moment for her ex-husband, James Cameron, who was also in the category for his movie, "Avatar." I mean, come on, Cameron helped create an entirely different way to shoot a movie using a special camera invented just for the movie, as well as hired a USC linguistics professor to create a working language too. And need I mention that Cameron's "Avatar" placed some people in depression? Surely, he should have won for creating such powerful movie, especially since his movie made billions compared to Bigelow's movie, right? Wrong. And as Jimmy Fallon put it best last night:
"Did you watch the Oscar's, or as I like to call it, James Cameron's own personal 'Hurt Locker.'"
Why do we obsess over celebrities? Don't we have enough stress to keep us occupied–the economy, the job market, our own lives? It surely can't be healthy, right? Maybe it's our defense mechanism–escapism. We don't like how our own lives are going so we fantasize about a better one, or as Fergie Ferg puts it, "by the glamorous, ooh the flossy, flossy." She reminds us that, "If you ain't got no money, take your broke self home." Yah, I'm broke. I think I will.
Maybe we obsess over celebrities because it's a way to connect to others, or as Professor Nicholas DiFonzo calls it, "The Water-Cooler Effect." The term comes from a study of office behavior. In a large company, workers would have informal gatherings around the water cooler, chatting, gossiping, and talking about current events. If one doesn't participate in the conversation or have some kind of opinion or have the latest news about someone, then one was left out of the group. Rejection can be a cruel thing, especially when you see that person for 8 hours of your life of every single work day.
Professor Alex Pentland, in an article for a November 2009 issue of Psychology Today, puts it best when he writes:
…it underscores that we are all social animals and that our connection with others at a local level – our tribe – is vitally important. Second, with increased cohesion likely comes an increase in things such as shared tacit knowledge, shared attitudes and work habits, and social support.
But whatever the case, the celebrities remain present in your life for your entertainment. And they get rich entertaining you. Check out this NY Times graph in which we spend $1000 to $5000 for our entertainment.

Ciku Kimeria lives and works in Kenya as a writer, travel blogger and as a consultant on international development issues. She loves people, writing, learning different languages, and cultural exchanges.
Her first novel Of Goats and Poisoned Oranges has been well-received and has gained recognition on the African continent and beyond. It tells the story of a Kenyan middle-aged power couple and their complicated marriage. The novel explores issues of greed, revenge, betrayal and murder, and been described as "Wicked, funny, poignant, wacky, human, a big ball of fun and danger"; "A unique and captivating book"; and "Impossible to put down once you start reading." Her novel has been launched and featured in events and newspapers, radio and magazines in Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria and Somaliland. Ciku sat down with SSDA to speak about her far-reaching work.
What compels you to write?
CIKU: I think there are two parts to this question – what makes me feel the need to write and what makes me think I have something worth saying. I will answer the last question first. I have written for as long as I can remember, but it was only in the past 5 years or so that I began thinking I could write for an audience larger than my immediate family and friends. Watching Chimamanda's speech, "The danger of a single story" was the first time in my life that I thought that I a middle class Kenyan with what I would describe as a "relatively normal" upbringing, had something to say that would be worth people reading. I've always felt that the space one occupies as an "African writer" is one of great importance and as such for one to occupy this space you have to be speaking of themes such as war, AIDS, FGM, child soldiers etc. After watching this speech, I realized that we do need a diversity of stories representing the African experience – where it's noteworthy that this experience is highly varied, and no one story can be used to define each of us. What compels me to write? To silence all the voices in my head that only give me some respite when I put pen down to paper (or in most cases – fingers to keyboard.)
Your novel, Of Goats and Poisoned Oranges, is a multi-threaded exploration of marriage, greed and truth. Loneliness also plays role in the tale, despite the numerous characters and being mostly set in the city of Nairobi. As one character observes, Loneliness is a strange thing to bring up with anyone. If you are lonely, yet you are surrounded by people, they think that you are saying that they somehow cannot provide you what you really need. This made me reflect on your characters and how many are isolated by their actions and secrets. These days, the internet is full of articles and theories on how, despite technology such as mobile phones and social media, people are becoming increasingly cut off each other. But what is interesting about your story, is that this isolation is happening inside the family, the workplace. What prompted you to explore this theme?
CIKU: The theme of loneliness for me is an interesting one, as I see loneliness in different forms. One is the main form that rushes to our minds – lacking friends, not having family, etc. The second form of loneliness is what I would call "internal loneliness" and is a major affliction for those in our generation. Despite having many people in our networks (including virtual networks – Twitter, Facebook, etc.) how many people do we think really understand us? Truly know us? How many can one actually call on in times of need? I also sometimes think of loneliness as "Who or what am I missing?" as opposed to "Who is around me?" This way of thinking makes me realize that I could be in a room with a hundred people and still feel completely alone. I could have family with me, but feel alone as I think of the sibling I no longer speak to. In a room with my children and think of the one who I lost before they even had a chance to get into our world. Look at my phone to see Whatsapp messages in 7 conversations, but only notice the echoing silence from that person I was really hoping had missed me too. This loneliness is the one the Muriungi in Of Goats and Poisoned Oranges feels. The feeling that even though he is surrounded by others, he is invisible to them. That feeling that you will always be a hand no glove can fit – or a hand that is doomed to always be in gloves that are too tight or gloves that make your hand itch. Cinderella's shoe with no foot that will ever fit into it. Now, that is loneliness.
Your novel is self-published. The book has been read by more people than many titles published by a traditional publisher. What did you do to ensure people heard about your work and read it?
CIKU: One of my greatest strengths is that I love people – absolutely love humankind and always expect the best from people. Fortunately I am rarely disappointed. As a self-published author, one has to be extremely strong-willed and good at building and fostering relationships. When you self-publish, people will only know about your book if you tell them about it. They will buy it only if you can convince them to. As such, if you are not a misanthrope, and are relatively outgoing and shameless enough, you will manage to sell lots of books even as a self-published author. The interactions I have had with people have been so important in getting my book into mainstream media.
My book was first discovered by the owner of Bookstop – one of the leading bookshops in Nairobi. They then decided to have my book signing with Jeff Koinange – one of Africa's leading journalists. He was gracious enough to have me launch my book at the same event as his. I will forever appreciate that – I was an unknown writer at the time and he's the type of person who draws thousands to any event he attends. Eventually Muthoni Garland – one of the co-founders of East and Central Africa's largest book festival – found my book in the bookshop – enjoyed it and invited me to be a panellist at the festival. This was in late 2013. From then, all the friendships I have made and the connections have seen me launch my book or speak in literary events in Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda, Somaliland, Uganda etc. I have had my book covered and/or reviewed in BBC Radio 5, Daily Nation (Kenya), The East African, True Love magazine (East Africa), Ndege News (East Africa), Business Daily (Kenya), Daily Monitor (Uganda), New Vision (Uganda), Citi fm (Ghana), Radio One (Nigeria), and Ebonylife (Nigeria). I have also been fortunate enough to be reviewed by bloggers in the region who I really respect – James Murua, Harriet Anena, CottageAoll, Craving Yellow etc. All the media coverage has helped me connect to more readers.
In a nutshell, I would say that people will help you get where you need to as long as you let them know what you are doing and as long as you are willing to put in the hard work. I expect 2016 to be an extremely busy year, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Since publishing Of Goats and Poisoned Oranges have there been any lessons that have made you swear, 'Next time I'll do it different'? If so, what?
CIKU: One of the main ones is that I would not be as quick to give books to people I don't know too well and collect money later. I really hate having to call someone once a week (for a year) to send me my money. There is really no joy to be found in debt collection. When too many books have been given out on credit, it really becomes a headache to collect.
For my new novel I also plan to get a publisher – there are many things to be gained from having people who are experts at editing, book layout etc work on your book. I would still love to be able to do the book fairs, book clubs and one on one sale interactions with readers, but I would love to have experts work with me on the technical aspects of getting a book out.
Lastly, what are you currently working on?
CIKU: I have been so good at avoiding answering this question for a long time, but alas… the day has come.
Here is a brief teaser from the novel I am currently working on. I am really excited about this one and sometimes I can't sleep as ideas run around my mind.
"A mother's deathbed confession threatens to tear her family apart. A son who bears a lethal secret. A son whose guilt threatens to subsume him. A daughter who seeks solace in the spiritual world at the risk of losing herself. A daughter struggling through the pains of growing up in this modern world. A grieving husband who mourns more than just the wife he lost. How far are you willing to go to find the truth? To Uganda? Cote d'Ivoire? Comoros? Brazil – to the end of the world…and at what price does this truth come?"
What have you been reading, lately?
My most exciting reads of the past few months have been Jennifer Makumbi's Kintu, Chuma Nwokolo's Diaries of a Dead African, Zukiswa Wanner's The Madams and Okey Ndibe's Foreign Gods Inc. I read widely, but of late I have been reading a lot of African literature. It is truly magical to meet all these authors I really admire in person. There is no way I will pass up an opportunity to buy a signed copy of their books from them!
Do you have any writing or editing tips?
What works for me: I do not write and edit at the same time. I write first, then edit when I am essentially done. The main reason is that if I wrote and edited each page as I wrote it, I will get demotivated and think that my work is really crappy, and that I should not bother writing anymore. I therefore let my writing muse run wild, then I conjure up the editing muse to make sure what I have written can be understood by others.
I give myself lots of time between writing and editing. If I edit my work too soon, I am still too emotionally involved to be logical when editing. If I give myself a long enough break, I can almost edit my book as if I am a complete stranger reading it for the first time. My family can definitely attest to me laughing alone in the middle of the night as I reread something I wrote – after a long time it's as if someone else wrote it and as if I am seeing it for the first time.
After the initial round of edits, it's great to have as many people as possible read your work before you publish it. The experts are great, but also you should test your work with your would-be readers. A book can be well written, but not be one that people will read. I want my books to be read. I think that's what most writers want – they want people to read their work, relate to it, feel something about the work. The only way to know that prior to publishing is to test it with a diverse audience.

It's a rite of passage for rock lovers everywhere, to listen to the four distinct strands of interwoven music from the hands of the four members of Led Zeppelin and wonder which one best represents your abilities and achievements (albeit on a dramatically enhanced level).
Are you a Jimmy Page, standing over a bubbling cauldron of riffs and picking only the most choice and tasty morsels to work up into a song? Or a Robert Plant, music geek and part-time golden god? Are you a John Bonham, master of controlled brutality on the drum kit and uncontrolled behavior elsewhere? Or a John Paul Jones, the quiet, unflashy personality that serves to make everyone else seem 1000% better at their jobs?
Well, now we can put this matter to rest, once and for all. Quizzical graffiti, anyone?

Announcing PROFINET Support/
Hardware interfaces are particularly important for any future integration of ROS-Industrial with production systems. With already existing EtherCat (maintained by Intermodalics) and CanOpen (maintainted by Fraunhofer IPA) networks, we are happy to announce support for PROFINET, as one of the most widely used fieldbuses in automation world.
PROFINET, an open automation standard and part of IEC 61158 is not only fully compatible with all the features of standard Ethernet, but it is also capable of real-time performance. It enables high-speed data exchange for the entire range of automation applications. PROFINET uses three communication services (Standard TCP/IP, Real Time, Isochronous Real Time), which can be used simultaneously, allowing transfers of both input/output data within submilisecond cycle times. To access all the features of PROFINET, use of specialized hardware is necessary. There are various PROFINET PCI cards on the market. We decided on the communication processor CP1616 from Siemens, since it provides not only Linux compatible drivers, but support for IO Controller/IO Device modes. This allows ROS-Industrial to work as both - a master or a slave on PROFINET network.
The goal of current development is to define a ROS-PROFINET abstraction layer and provide a specific implementation for the CP1616. The package release date is targeted for September.
Special thanks to the Google Summer of Code program for supporting this effort. Additional thanks to Siemens for technical support. Software development is ongoing and can be found in the ROS-Industrial Siemens experimental repo.

Cam Newton said NFL players are "owed" the opportunity to celebrate after big plays.
The reigning Most Valuable Player said Tuesday he has no idea if the NFL's sinking TV ratings early this season are tied to the league's crackdown on celebrations, but the man who made "the dab" famous agrees with others players that they should be allowed to express themselves.
"The league has to understand it's entertaining to see that," Newton said.

Green Bay Packers Pro Shop Tent Sale June 1, 2013
Filed under: Shopping, Sports
"It's a madhouse, a madhouse!" Imagine Black Friday at Lambeau Field. And then double it. That's right, the annual Green Bay Packers Pro Shop Tent Sale has been announced. This year it will be on June 1, 2013 from 8am–5pm in the Lambeau Field Atrium and Pro Shop store.
Most of the previous year's NFL-licensed merchandised is heavily discounted.
The last time I went, I got two huge bags of stuff, baby onesies, sweaters, tees, essentially all my Christmas shopping done at once. After swimming through the crowds to find the merchandise I wanted, I had to stand in line for more than an hour to check out. My total for those two big bags was $100 which is pretty darn good in the world of NFL merchandise.
So, if you're planning on going, wear comfortable shoes, bring water and snacks, and be prepared to get some great deals on the green and gold.
Tell us what you're thinking...
and oh, if you want a pic to show with your comment, go get a gravatar!
