Secure .NET Web Application Development (SNWAD)
Who should attend
The Secure .Net Web Application Development Seminar is an intense .Net security training workshop/seminar essential for web developers who need to produce secure web applications, integrating security measures into the development process from requirements to deployment and maintenance. This course explores well beyond basic programming skills, teaching developers sound processes and practices to apply to the entire software development life-cycle. Perhaps just as significantly, students learn about current, real examples that illustrate the potential consequences of not following these best practices. This course is short on theory and long on application, providing students with in-depth, code-level demonstrations and walkthroughs.
In this course, students are shown best practices for defensively coding .Net web applications, including XML processing and web services. Demonstrations repeatedly attack and then defend various assets associated with a fully-functional web application. This approach illustrates the mechanics of how to secure .Net web applications in the most practical of terms.
Class Prerequisites
This is an intermediate-level and beyond .Net programming course designed for developers who wish to get up and running on developing well defended web applications. Familiarity with C# is required and real world programming experience is highly recommended. Ideally students should have approximately 6 months to a year of .net web application development working knowledge.
What You Will Learn
Students who attend Secure .NET Web Application Development will leave the course armed with the skills required to recognize actual and potential software vulnerabilities, implement defenses for those vulnerabilities, and test those defenses for sufficiency.
This course quickly introduces developers to the most common security vulnerabilities faced by web applications today. Each vulnerability is examined from a .NET perspective through a process of describing the threat and attack mechanisms, recognizing associated vulnerabilities, and, finally, designing, implementing, and testing effective defenses. In many cases, there are labs that reinforce these concepts with real vulnerabilities and attacks. Students are then challenged to design and implement the layered defenses they will need in defending their own applications.
Working in a dynamic learning environment, attendees will learn to:
- Understand potential sources for untrusted data
- Understand the consequences for not properly handling untrusted data such as denial of service, cross-site scripting, and injections
- Be able to test web applications with various attack techniques to determine the existence of and effectiveness of layered defenses
- Prevent and defend the many potential vulnerabilities associated with untrusted data
- Understand the vulnerabilities of associated with authentication and authorization
- Be able to detect, attack, and implement defenses for authentication and authorization functionality and services
- Understand the dangers and mechanisms behind Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Injection attacks
- Be able to detect, attack, and implement defenses against XSS and Injection attacks
- Understand the concepts and terminology behind defensive, secure, coding
- Understand the use of Threat Modeling as a tool in identifying software vulnerabilities based on realistic threats against meaningful assets
- Perform both static code reviews and dynamic application testing to uncover vulnerabilities in Java-based web applications
- Design and develop strong, robust authentication and authorization implementations within the context of .NET
- Understand the fundamentals of Cryptography and Encryption and where they fit in the overall security picture
- Understand the fundamentals of XML Digital Signature and XML Encryption as well as how they are used within the web services arena
- Be able to detect, attack, and implement defenses for XML-based services and functionality

Novi makes a jump from 10th to sixth in the latest MLive Detroit girls basketball rankings. Detroit Renaissance (No. 3) and Detroit Martin Luther King (No. 4) will meet in the Detroit Public School League championship on Friday at 5 p.m. at Calihan Hall.
Woodhaven and Allen Park both make first appearances in the top 10 this season after Farmington Hills Harrison and Wayne Memorial drop out.
Check back every Monday for a new set of rankings.
Ranking (previous): Team (record, class)
1 (1). Detroit Country Day (16-1, B)
Country Day fell behind to Ypsilanti Arbor Prep on Friday but managed to close the game out on a 23-0 run for a 37-33 win, including holding Arbor Prep scoreless in the fourth quarter. The Yellowjackets are on a roll and looking primed to defend its state title in Class B.
2 (2). Southfield-Lathrup (13-3, A)
A 38-point win and a 40-point win last week means that the Chargers are ready for a week that includes Troy and Farmington Hills Harrison this week.
3 (3). Detroit Renaissance (14-3, A)
Renaissance picked up an easy win on Monday last week and has ben off since then. The break comes at a good time since the Phoenix are preparing for Friday's Detroit PSL championship game against Detroit Martin Luther King.
4 (4). Detroit Martin Luther King (12-1, A)
King has won four-straight Detroit PSL tournament titles but will face a big threat in this year's final on Friday when it faces Renaissance - the only team to beat the Crusaders so far this winter.
5 (7). Warren Cousino (14-3, A)
Cousino got two key wins over Grosse Pointe North and Grosse Pointe South last week to keep its spot at the top of the Macomb Area Conference Red Division. Cousino now has tough road matchups this week against Macomb Dakota and Port Huron Northern.
6 (10). Novi (14-2, A)
Picking up a key 45-37 win over Northville, Novi heads into the KLAA Kensington Conference tournament with some pep in its step. First opponent in the bracket is Plymouth on Tuesday.
7 (6). Northville (14-2, A)
The loss to rival Novi will sting but Northville still carries a No. 1 seed into the KLAA Kensington Conference tournament that starts on Tuesday against Livonia Churchill.
8 (8). Southfield (15-1, A)
Southfield hung on for a 47-45 win over Birmingham Seaholm last week to stay undefeated in the OAA Blue. Berkley and Oak Park are both up this week.
9 (NR). Woodhaven (14-2, A)
Woodhaven has won 10 in a row, coming off of a big week in Downriver play where it beat both Allen Park and Wyandotte Roosevelt. Trenton and Melvindale are up this week
10 (NR). Allen Park (14-2, A)
Despite the loss to Woodhaven last week that ended a 13-game win streak, Allen Park got back to winning in its next game by beating Trenton. Lincoln Park and Truman are up this week.
Dropped out: 5. Farmington Hills Harrison; 9. Wayne Memorial

Out of all the people she's faced, liz carmouche had her in the most trouble with a choke and if Miesha Tate had a better fight iq / game plan I thought she could've done better in their second fight. She was winning in the standup and for some reason wanted to keep clinching and trying to take her down to prove a point. With Miesha's new punching power and better boxing, I wanted to see a third fight between them.
Really funny they put her on the cover of ring magazine when she's not even the best striker in women's mma. Joanna and holm have the striking credentials but just lack the attention that them b being on the cover would get. Wonder how the female boxing champions feel about this.

Giggs took some time out of making music to have a rant on Twitter about community support officers, or as he likes to call them 'wanna be scum bag community officers' and the fact that they own mopeds.
On Wednesday the Look What The Cat Dragged In star tweeted:
Is it just us or does his point about the recession make sense? Because if they're handing out free mopeds, we might have to change professions!
In addition to him moaning about the community support officers, he also slammed the police for shutting down his shows. He probably didn't want them to feel left out.

This variety will grow well in most regions of the United States.
Bear Paw is an heirloom popcorn developed by Glenn Thomson of Vermont. He grew and distributed the variety from the 1930s to the mid-1960s when his health declined.
This popular variety was served in New England homes and movie theaters and was even featured in the Vermont exhibit at the World's Fair.
Glenn's daughter, Ginny, shared stories of how her father would serve cocoa and cupcakes to the local boys hired to help harvest the corn in the fall. She would sit on her father's lap as a batch of Bear Paw corn was popping over a coal burning stove.
Corn, or maize, is thought to have been domesticated by the Olmec and Mayans and trade helped to spread the crop through much of the Americas by 2500 BCE. Corn and maize spread throughout the world after European explorers and traders brought it home with them.
This variety works for
This corn is perfect for stovetop popping:
Toppings for popcorn include the traditional salt and butter, nutritional yeast, grated cheese, honey, dried herbs and even caramel and chocolate.
This crop can be direct seeded into soil 2-3 weeks after the last spring frost when the soil has warmed.
Space your seeds 3-6 inches apart in well fertilized soil. Instead of growing this crop in rows, plant it in a block which will help with pollination. Plant your seeds around 1 inch deep.
Make sure that your soil is well fertilized as this crop is a heavy feeder and takes a lot of nutrients from the soil. Consider adding compost to the soil the year before you plant.
These plants prefer warm weather and soil so they should be grown when temperatures are over 68 degrees F.
Direct seed corn in rows 36-48 inches apart and plant the kernels 4 inches apart and 1 inch deep. The seeds take 4-21 days to germinate. Thin your stalks to 8 inches apart as they grow and leave ears on the stalk until they begin to dry down or there is a danger of frost. Corn should be planted in blocks rather than in long rows to maximize pollination. Consider planting a corner of your garden with 3-6 rows of corn next to each other rather than one long row.
There are about 5k seeds in a pound of Bear Paw corn.
Our customer service will happily help you with whatever you need!

Wisconsin governor Scott Walker's attempt to strip government unions of collective bargaining rights has triggered weeks of spirited demonstrations and occupations in the capital building at Madison. The attack has galvanized unorganized as well as organized workers — including the state's art community.
The early weeks of the protests saw notable outbursts of street-level artistry, with performers and artists turning out to stage concerts, readings, and street theater performances. The creativity of the protests is now being celebrated in a newly opened exhibition at Madison art space Project Lodge titled "SolidARTity." Spearheaded by University of Wisconsin art history PHD student Sarah Stolte, the exhibition gathers together both works made by artists and "found art" from the demonstrations at the capitol.
"Our entire state capitol has been transformed into a massive, site-specific installation reflecting an infinite variety of personal reactions to the actions of our state government," states Web site of the show, which was conceived two weeks ago at the height of the capital's occupation. As displayed on protest signs, these reactions range from the bluntly direct — "Wisconsin Is Not For Sale" — to comical absurdities like a piece of cardboard saying "Who Wants a Pink Slip?" with a lacy pink slip and pink Post-It notes attached.
The meme of artistic solidarity has definitely achieved a kind of critical mass in Madison. The same day that the Project Lodge's "SolidARTity" show opened, a separate and independent initiative titled "SolidARiTy" — please take a moment to note the different spelling — sought to bring together the area's creative community, from hobbyists to fine artists, to show their support at the capital building itself.
"We started thinking about how we were all going down to the capital to yell at the governor," says Laurie Beth Clark, an art professor at the University of Wisconsin. "That's our life now. But we were there as individuals but not as artists." She estimates that Friday's initiative, which sought a more coordinated artistic response, involved about 200 people.
The artistic contributions took a variety of forms, from people just bringing their sketchbooks and needlework to the capital as they sat in to more elaborate interventions. Ballroom dancers performed in front of the building, and there was a performance of Sinclair Lewis's play "It Can't Happen Here," as well as a reading of poems sent to Madison to protest the budget cuts' threatened elimination of a $2,000-per-year stipend for Wisconsin's poet laureate.
For her part, Clark decided to engage in an interactive performance called "Complaints Book," entering the capital with a bureaucratic ledger and asking people she met to use it to register their grievances. "Anybody who came into my sphere got an opportunity to write in the book," she says. "It was very powerful to me, the diversity was so far out of the path of people I meet at the university: public school teachers, corrections workers, nurses, students, and a lot of people who I don't know what they did."
What is one of the more striking pieces associated with the protests went up the following day, when a group of University of Wisconsin studio art grad students — Craig Courtney, Hongtao Zhou, Rebecca Lessem, and Jason Sandberg — erected a large wooden fist to symbolize solidarity (however it's spelled) with public sector workers.
Since the beginning of the outcry against Walker's anti-union offensive, Saturdays have consistently seen the most spirited shows of support in the state capital, with many thousands converging to show support, often marching in blocks representing their various unions or professional affiliations. On Saturday, March 12, there will be an "Art Workers March" — the group has its own logo, a fist with a paintbrush, designed by Nancy Zucker — meeting in front of the Overture Center at 201 State Street to march against governor Walker. "The state is not 'broke,' and unions, public servants, the arts and education are part of the solution to our challenges," states a Facebook invite for the demonstration.
It's a pity that the organized artistic response is crystallizing after the most militant phase of the occupation of the capital building has finished. However, the organizers of Project Lodge's "SolidARTity" show are looking to the future of the struggle. "We are hoping to bring the show to other states (e.g., Ohio, Indiana, or New Jersey) where collective bargaining and labor rights are at risk," gallery coordinator Sonia Kubica told ARTINFO in an email. "It's 20 days later and protesters are still circling our capitol and the WI-14" — the 14 Democratic senators who fled the capital to prevent Walker's bill from going ahead — "are still on the run. This fight is not over. It's barely just begun."

A lot of homeowners like spending relaxing time in their backyards. If you've been looking to get the perfect backyard, you've come to the right place. Some effective landscaping tips can help you create and maintain the perfect garden. In this post, we've discussed some budget-friendly and easy tips to create an appealing and functional backyard. With these tips, you will be able to handle the project without experiencing any problems.
In order to get started with your DIY backyard landscaping, you should first determine how you'd like to see your backyard in terms of looks and functionality. You need to consider the needs of your family members and pets when designing the backyard. Here are some suggestions from landscape gardeners London that might help you figure out a few things that won't take much of your time.
Replace Outdated Materials
Start with replacing or removing old garden furniture items. Anything that gives old, rusty and dull feel should not be a part of your backyard landscaping project. Instead, you must focus on elements that you can add in your garden and make it look elegant. Consider adding a fountain at the center of your London backyard if you have ample space. Otherwise, putting colourful plants along with the boundary and in the center can also create an instant impact and completely change the environment.
Remodel Your Paving
No one likes to see ordinary concrete pavement. If you still have those, then it's the right time to get rid of them. These days, you get ample options when it comes to choosing materials for pavements. In fact, even concrete comes in a variety of styles and finishes to suit the decorative needs of all households. Find out your options and rework on the existing paving to enhance the appeal of your backyard.
Broaden Your Landscaping Design
Landscaping in UK can turn out to be a challenge, especially when there are a number of different things to accommodate. While planning backyard landscaping, you will need to get yourself familiar with different variety of plants, flowers and shrubs. Choose the ones that match with the decorative theme of your London home's exterior or architectural style.
Brush up your knowledge and make sure you pick the right category of plants, keeping in mind the maintenance level done by qualified landscapers. You can visit a nursery and research about the quality, maintenance and care about plants that you like. Make sure you note down all the details carefully.
Create Garden Path
Adding a delicately laid out path leading to the garden can give your backyard a polished look. It is a good way to use any untamed space. Instead of using pavers, you can opt for crushed rocks, available in a wide range of colours and shapes.
Try a Trellis
Even though they look beautiful, trellis are still not considered a common practice in home gardens. But you can always try with one and the final outcome will give your backyard a mesmerized look. They are easy and quick to install. Placing them on the entrance of the garden will enhance the overall feel and beauty of being in that place.
Add Some Paint
It has been observed that single story homes are perfect for some nice painting works. You can paint the back of your house in a different colour than the other three walls of your home. Choose the colour that compliments the layout and landscaping of your backyard. Neutral shades such as light grey, beige, and taupe blend fabulously with any theme. These colours can easily coordinate with landscaping elements such as stone path, honey-hued fence and so on.
Now that you are aware of a few budget-friendly, easy and practical backyard landscaping ideas, you might want to start planning your own backyard makeover in the coming weekend. Redoing any space is always a challenge, but with right planning and organization skills, you can convert any challenging task into an easy doable one.
As far as DIY projects are concerned, you must be aware of all the factors and figures to be able to work effectively. Determining your needs and expectations from a backyard landscaping project will help you find the right elements that you'd like to incorporate. It will also give you a clear picture and help you figure out the right steps to reach your ultimate goal.

Pistol Paddle is a line of table tennis paddles with a unique design and new table tennis game rules. There are two Pistol Paddles available. The Deputy has an all-natural wood grain grip and the Outlaw has a natural black grip. Both paddles have a hole toward the top of the grip where your index finger rests when holding the paddle.
When playing, you can add two rule changes to make the game of table tennis a little more exciting. First, you can showdown to serve by spinning the paddle around your index finger at least once before hitting the ball directly at your opponent (kind of like a Wild West showdown). Whoever strikes their opponent first gets to serve first. After the serve, you can also score three bonus points per game by striking your opponent's body with the ball without the ball hitting the table first.
A ping pong ball is not included.
It might take awhile before you get used to holding the Pistol Paddles because of the positioning of your index finger. But once you get the hang of it, hitting the ball is no problem. It's easy to put a lot of top spin on the ball and turn your wrist on your forehand. The Pistol Paddle game rules certainly add a little more action (and pain?) to the game of table tennis.
Pistol Paddle Deputy is not age-graded because it is a sporting good and not a toy.
You can purchase each Pistol Paddle individually or in a two-pack and four-pack.

On Tap Today: Thursday see-thaw ride
No, we're not up in the attic trying to find our checkered blankets to slam down on Bradford Beach Thursday. But we do like January Thaws, and ours is set to continue today.
That forecast gives us "happy feet," just in time to hook up with The Happy Dutchmen playing at The Domes "Music Under Glass" tonight. Our Lederhosen might be a bit tight after all the holiday feasting, but we'll polka off the poundage when the band gears up its German sounds.

Susie Essman, Richard Lewis are a hit and a miss
In the eyes of any talent booker, Richard Lewis and Susie Essman would seem like a totally compatible pairing for a comedy bill. Both standups regularly appear on Larry David's HBO hit comedy "Curb Your Enthusiasm." They're the same generation (Lewis is 65, Essman 57), and their takes on their Jewish backgrounds, aging and sexuality aren't too dissimilar.
And so Lewis and Essman were brought in as co-headliners for the second annual Laugh It Up Milwaukee benefit Saturday, presented by the Bayshore Community Foundation and hosted at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center in Whitefish Bay. »Read Full Article(6)

Truth, faith, hope collide in Milwaukee Rep's 'How the World Began'
You can take as gospel truth that when a high school biology teacher in rural Kansas tells a classroom of students that creationism is "gobbledygook," there's going to be an uproar.
That's not exactly what Susan Pierce said to her students, but it's close enough to offend 16-year-old Micah Staab, for whom every word in the Book of Genesis is true. The ensuing conflict propels Catherine Trieschmann's "How the World Began," the intermission-free play now being staged by the Milwaukee Repertory Theater under Brent Hazelton's direction. »Read Full Article

This was one of the three coal mines in Harrisville California. www.teslacoalmines.org/Harrisville.html
This pond is a buzz of activity that I noticed while I was calf deep and slowing sinking into the mud. The swimming submerged snake brushing against my leg came as a special surprise. California's venemous snakes do not like to swim and sudden moves are often ill advised in any event.

Sundance: Indie thrillers 'Black Rock' starring Kate Bosworth and 'The Words' starring Bradley Cooper secure distribution
A pair of pickups occurred at the Sundance Film Festival today, with "The Words" starring Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana and Jeremy Irons, and "Black Rock" starring Kate Bosworth, Lake Bell and Katie Aselton acquired by CBS Films and LD Distribution, respectively.
Co-written and directed by Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal in their helming debut, "The Words" stars Cooper as a struggling writer who hits the big time after discovering an unpublished manuscript and passing it off as his own. The actual author of the book (Jeremy Irons) subsequently shows up to take his revenge. CBS paid a low-seven-figure sum for the film, according to a source close to the negotiations. The distributor is shooting for a Q3 or Q4 release later this year.
"The Words" was a product of the Sundance Screenwriter's Lab and ranked on a previous edition of the Black List, an annual rundown of the best unproduced screenplays circulating in Hollywood.
"We feel very fortunate to be working with CBS Films given their level of commitment and enthusiasm for the theatrical release of the film in the Fall season," said producer Tatiana Kelly. The pickup occurred prior to the movie's world premiere, which is scheduled for Friday, January 27th.
Also acquired in the low seven figures today was "Black Rock", a thriller starring Kate Bosworth, Lake Bell and Katie Aselton as a trio of young women who go on a camping trip together in the Maine wilderness and are ultimately forced to fight for their survival after making one wrong move. It's described as being akin to a female version of "Deliverance", with a little "Thelma and Louise" mixed in for good measure.
Deadline reports that several other distributors including Lionsgate, Magnolia and IFC also went after the film, which premiered last night in a midnight screening. "Black Rock" was directed by Aselton based on a script written by her husband Mark Duplass, the actor/writer/director ("Cyrus", "The Puffy Chair") who co-stars with her in FX's "The League".
What do you think of the pickups? Do either of these films sound like something you'd be interested in seeing?

Video Release: 11/12/2013
Donna Rolfe/span>/span>Source: VideoWriter: Samantha Shear, Michael ShearProducer: Heather Puttock, Susan NorkinGenre: AnimatedRuntime: 89 min.MPAA Rating: Not RatedStarring: Voices of: Drake Bell, Sean Astin, Naya Rivera, Kyle Chandler, Mathew Lillard
Synopsis:Two young elves, WINTER and SNOWFLAKE (It's a boy elf name!!!) have a hard time following the rules and are prone to sneaking off for some good elf playtime. But after wrecking the North Pole's official Christmas tree, the two elf brothers along with a rebellious reindeer named SPARKLE find themselves on the dreaded Naughty List. They are forced to do mundane horrible tasks like washing windows, cleaning bathrooms and more but seem to always make a bigger mess than they had to begin with. After the group is regulated to kitchen duty, they somehow manage to give the whole North Pole food poisoning including Santa! Now with only hours to go before Christmas, they are the only ones left to help save Christmas.
Dove Worldview:Winter, Snowflake (two young elves) and Sparkle (a young reindeer) have found themselves in a terrible place. Wanting to do things their way instead of by the rules, they are now on Santa's naughty list. They are now faced with many different chores to perform to see if they can rectify their behavior and return to the nice list.
There is only one problem, "Winter" wants them to do things the quick way not the right way and in the process manages to get most of the North Pole sick including Santa. Can they change things around, work together, and follow the rules to save Christmas for the world? It is up to them.
No one wants to be on the naughty list at Christmas and here is a charming movie about doing the right things, following the rules and thinking of others before yourself. This animated tale is cute and will be a good conversation topic for the entire family. It has many lessons to teach the audience about being good.
We award "The Naughty List" our Dove "Family-Approved" Seal for all ages.

With the NBA season less than two months away, there are still a great deal of questions surrounding the plethora of high-potential teams in the league. Often as tantalizing as they are inconsistent, it's difficult to gauge just how much of an impact the league's youngest teams will have on the upcoming season.
To qualify for this list, a team must have an average age of under 25. Here are seven such NBA teams that have the highest upside.

Pushing back against what he says is one of the most expensive lobbying efforts by big banks, Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) said today that credit unions and small banks were being used by larger financial institutions.
Last year, Congress passed landmark legislation to reform the interchange fee system in America. This bipartisan effort came after years of congressional hearings and Government Accountability Office studies that made clear that the interchange system was on an unsustainable course.
The NCUA's handling of the corporate credit union crisis will be among the credit union-related topics that the House and Senate banking panels plan to deal with during the next two years.
The Senate Banking Committee plans to provide "continued oversight" of the NCUA's corporate stabilization, according to the panel's two-year oversight plan issued by Chairman Tim Johnson (D-S.D.).
If a journey of 1,000 miles does begin with one step, then NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz's letter to Congress on supplemental capital could be the beginning of a long trip.
Congress hasn't scrutinized the NCUA's handling of the problems at corporate credit unions very much.
A law passed by Congress giving the NCUA the power to make payments to the Temporary Corporate Credit Union Stabilization Fund without borrowing from the Treasury sparked an industry discussion about the agency's assessment process.
President Obama today signed a measure allowing the NCUA to pay directly into the Temporary Corporate Credit Union Stabilization Fund.
The NCUA will be able to make payments to the Temporary Corporate Credit Union Stabilization Fund without borrowing from the Treasury Department as a result of legislation passed by the House on Wednesday night.
The Senate has passed a measure which would require the Government Accountability Office to study NCUA management of the corporate credit unions and their financial crisis.

Racer Check In Information & Directions:
Pavilion on east side of Bishop Lake. See Update Map!
Trekking / Trail Running / Orienteering:
Teams will use provided maps, and their compasses, to find checkpoints (CP's) scattered throughout the area. Maps will be pre-marked with checkpoints. Two styles of maps will be used during the race: Pre-marked Park Map and a detailed Orienteering (1:15,000) topographical map. The total trekking will be in the 3-5 mile range – depending on a your selected route and number of CP's achieved. Not all checkpoints will be required to finish as an officially ranked team; however, the more checkpoints a team obtains, the higher they will rank in the overall standings. Teams can choose to trek on trails or bushwhack through the wilderness. You will encounter terrain that will vary from open land to open forests, dense brush, hills and swampy lowlands.
Teams will be paddling approximately 2-4 miles. Canoes are being provided. Paddles and PFDs will be provided also; however, you can use your own paddles and PFDs instead if you prefer. Racers will need to sign a canoe rental waiver which will be provided prior to registration. It is recommended that your team has canoeing experience. Practice with Heavner Canoe Rental (www.heavnercanoe.com), offering a 10% discount on rentals to anyone planning on doing the race.
Mountain Bike:
The mountain bike stage will total 8-10 miles in length as teams collect required checkpoints. The course will include a mix of dirt roads, single track and off-road trails.
This race is designed to be a fun introduction to Adventure Racing for people new to the sport. The race will have a 4-hour cut-off time for teams to complete the mandatory elements of the course. A team is required to have at least 1 person who has never competed in or completed an Adventure Race. In a nod to the tradition of the sport, the highlighted division (best prizing!) will be the 4-person coed teams. 2-person teams will race separately and can be coed, all female, or all male.
In an Adventure Race, all teammates work together to try and find the checkpoints (like a scavenger hunt!) and make it to the finish before the cut-off time. Teammates must stay within 50′ or eyesight of each other (whichever is closer). The complete team must finish the course in the allotted time to earn an official ranked finish. Teams that work their way to the finish line after the time limit, without a teammate, or without obtaining the required checkpoints will not be a ranked finisher.
There will be a pre-race briefing 1 hour before the race. At this briefing teams will learn details about the course. Race instructions and maps will be handed out. Teams will then have until the start for any last minute preparations or strategizing.
When the race starts, teams will be required to navigate each stage of the race using the provided pre-marked maps. Navigation difficulty will vary by checkpoint, but will be on the easy side for the majority of this event. Make sure at least 1 person on your team understands how to read a map and a compass (GPSs are not allowed!). Watch the "Get Your Bearings Adventure Racing" facebook page for opportunities to learn or practice your navigation/orienteering skills prior to the race. The Southern Michigan Orienteering Club offers great events in the Spring and Fall to learn, practice, or race (www.michigano.org).
Each team will be issued a 'passport' that will be punched at each checkpoint along the way. Make sure someone responsible on your team takes care of the passport! It must be turned in at the finish to prove that you found the checkpoints. If you don't have it, you won't earn an official finish!
Teams are required to carry certain gear for each section of the race. Race officials often do gear checks and assess time penalties as necessary during the race. Check the Race Update for the mandatory gear list.
This is the 5th year for the Get Your Bearings Sprint Adventure Race. We strive to make it a fun event for friends and family to participate in – whether as a racer or a supporter.

Is there an ifgrp favor in clustered ontap? I must be missing it somewhere...but network port ifgrp does not have a favor sub command.
Hi Scott,
You have not missed anything. The command equivalent does not exist in clustered ONTAP. The workaround would be to setup a LIF failover group with the preferred LIF as the home LIF.
This isn't a workaround since we can't failover to a port in the singlemode Ifgrp
For example...
Ifgrp a0a single mode with ports e2b/e3b on node1
Ifgrp a1a single mode with ports e2b/e3b on node2
Then we have 2 lifs. One homed on a0a and the second homes on a1a.
The goal is to move the active port to e3b and back to e2b within the Ifgrp. We can administratively down a port to force the other to pickup but would prefer a favor/no favor method like 7mode. Any future plans for this?
Thank you.

Hi Scott,
Apologies it has taken a while to get to you on this.
It is possible to achieve your goal with LIF failover groups and 'auto-revert'. Referring to your example, I would create two LIF failover groups. Each one would contain the two network ports that are local to the node. The LIF would be assigned to the LIF failover group, have its failover policy set to "nextavail" and set its ability to automatically revert back to its home port. An example....
With this configuration the LIF can have its home port (favoured port to be e0b). If e0b were to go down the LIF would failover the e0c. When the link to e0b was restored, the LIF would automatically failover to its home port.
Does this help?
That does help. It would also need the ports from different nodes in the failover group in case if node failure, but sounds like if a group per node that has the local ports first in the list that it can be done...just more maintenance and use of different failover groups. I would prefer an Ifgrp favor still for equivalent functionality since the Ifgrp single functionality is here...but wouldn't be used with this workaround.

I know this conversation is a little old but I did run into this while working with a customer who wanted to use singlemode and favor. In the Network Management Guide (confirmed in both 8.1.1 and 8.2 docs) on pg 21 it states the following:
"In a single-mode interface group, you can select the active port or designate a port as nonfavored
by executing the ifgrp command from the nodeshell"
I was able to do so, in fact we used the favor command i.e. "ifgrp favor e0b" and it showed under the flags from the ifgrp status command. The issue is that upon reboot this setting was not persistent (expected) as well as inserting it into the local rc file didn't work either.
So favor does exist, now the question is how do you make it persistent across reboots?
Also, if using the workaround above which seems like a reasonable option, what are the negatives in your opinion?
We decided against single mode Ifgrps. With cDot may as well keep all ports active and let lif failover groups handle ports. Same end result but active/active on all ports.

I hear you but it is still documented as an option...

This year's game with Tennessee will be the fourth time in the series that it will be a Top 10 matchup – the Vols lead 2-1 in these games. Georgia's win came in the most recent Top 10 battle, an 18-13 win in 2002 in Athens."
Georgia and Tennessee are now tied in top ten matchups.
That's Georgia's percentages of touchdowns scored during red zone possessions. The Bulldogs have failed to score four times in 18 trips, or 22% of redzone possessions."
Georgia scored all four times they got into the red zone – and almost scored a touchdown on each possession. However, the Bulldogs settled for two Brandon Coutu field goals when their luck ran out. Brannon Southerland and Thomas Brown scored the two Georgia touchdowns in the red zone.
That's how many times the Bulldog defense has stopped the opposition in the red zone. In seven red zone possessions during the 2005 season, Georgia's defense has surrendered five touchdowns and two field goals."
Tennessee was only able to score on one of its two red zone possessions, and it was set up by Johnathon Wade's return of D.J. Shockley's interception to the Georgia one-yard line. Rick Clausen took it in from there. However, senior cornerback Demario Minter ended the only Vol threat in the first half with his first career interception in the end zone. "That was big," Tennessee Head Coach Phil Fulmer said," because we had a touchdown."
That's the last time a Georgia running back had more than 100 yards rushing. Robert Edwards had 131 yards, but #15 Georgia fell to Tennessee for the seventh consecutive game 38-13."
Thomas Brown came a few yards from being Georgia's first 100-yard rusher. Gerald Riggs was held to half his yearly average, and Tennessee was held to under 100 yards rushing for the first time all season – that, turnovers and the fact that Tennessee kept shooting itself in the foot with penalties made points hard to come by for the Vols.
"0 points…
Tennessee has shut Georgia out seven times. The Bulldogs are 0-6-1 in those contests. Georgia has shut Tennessee out six times going 0-5-1. The lone dual shutout came in the 1906 contest."
Georgia's number one defense did not allow any points to be scored by the Vols, but D.J. Shockley's interception that was returned for a touchdown, and Tennessee's meaningless fourth quarter score provided the Vols only points.

NBA Games
Eastern Conf Semifinals: Indiana Pacers at Washington Wizards
Indiana is starting to look like the team that earned the top spot in the East. Game 3 was not always easy to watch, but it was the type of game that Indiana played the first half of the season, and the type of game they want to play from here on out. When they play tight defense like they did against the Wizards, they are almost unbeatable. The Pacers only scored 85 points, but they still won by 22, because Washington couldn't do anything offensively. If the Pacers are back in top form, the East just got a lot harder to watch, but at least there will be another team that could compete for the Championship.

We're still working through exactly what will be presented on Saturday for Arduino Day, but here's a rough idea… We can always adjust content based on the attending audience… And if more people show up in the afternoon or evening, we can always run through things again. We're going to play this a lot by-ear.
More about Arduino Day can be found here…
We will be running an Arduino project challenge contest! Using an Arduino (or related micro), along with any resources and tools in the Interlock space, and/or materials you bring yourself, what cool thing can you build? Some old hardware (printers, scanners, misc parts) will be available to take apart… Judging will happen at 9:30, points will be awarded for usefulness, niftiness, artistic quality, and technical depth… The winner(s) will get something, to be determined. 😉
Throughout the day, we'll have the doors open for all who want to visit and participate, or just check us and our space out. We'll be around all day to help you with your Arduino project, or get help from you on our projects! 😉
10:00 am – Doors open, Coffee will be available, get settled in, get to know each other. Project workshop time as well (throughout the day)
11:00 am – Intro to Arduino – What it is, how to use it, some basic interfacing with buttons and lights.
Noon – Lunch! Sub sandwiches and beverages will be available.
1:00 pm – Project Circus – show off your project. casual presentations.
2:00 pm – Arduino Communications – How to get your computer to talk with the Ardy, and get them to talk with devices.
3:00 pm – Analog interfacing with Alex – how to work with other kinds of peripherals
4:00 pm – Project Circus
5:00 pm – Dinner! Pizza and beverages will be available.
6:00 pm – Workshop Time (or TBD)
7:00 pm – Workshop Time (or TBD)
8:00 pm – Workshop Time (or TBD)
9:00 pm – Project Challenge voting! (at 9:30)
10:00 pm – End of the event. We'll probably stick around for a while anyway.
You can RSVP over on the Meetup page for this event…

Last Tuesday and this Tuesday a few of us cleaned up the space and rearranged things a bit. The goal was to have more workspace for the Arduino Day workshops, and to have things on display that were more representative of who we are. We installed a few shelves to store projects-in-development (that don't fit or we don't want to put them in our lockers or offices), as well as to show off some completed projects. The shelves are a bit bare right now, but we'll fill them up soon enough! Here are some pics to show what the place is like right now…

A New ETF To Play Gold's Appeal
As the appeal for commodities, in particularly, gold continues to rise, ETF provider, ETF Securities recently announced another first-to-market ETF, the ETFS Physical Asian Gold Shares (AGOL).
AGOL is the first U.S. precious metals product to be vaulted in Asia as its custody will store all of its physical gold bars in secure London Bullion Market Association approved vaults in Singapore, as stated in its prospectus. From an investment perspective, the objective of AGOL is to reflect the price performance of reflect the price performance of physical gold, less trust expenses, while carrying an expense ratio of 0.39%.
The launch of AGOL couldn't come at a better time as increased demand for gold and investment vehicles that enable one to gain access to gold continues to rise. The precious metals safe haven characteristics during times of uncertainty, its ability to give investors the capability to hedge against inflation and its uses as a method do diversify assets are likely to keep it a "hot commodity". Furthermore, as demand for gold continues to rise, from a consumer, investor and governmental standpoint, imbalances in supply and demand could further push up prices as that production and extraction of the metal is not easy.
ETF Securities is no stranger to the physically backed precious metal ETF space, as that the provider's ETFS Physical Swiss Gold Shares (SGOL), ETFS Physical Silver Shares (SIVR), ETFS Physical Palladium Shares (PALL), ETFS Physical Platinum Shares (PPLT), ETFS Physical Precious Metals Basket Shares (GLTR) and ETFS Physical White Metal Basket Shares (WITE) have enabled the provider to surpass $3.5 Billion in US assets under management in a relatively short time span.
