Derive Systems Relocates Headquarters To Pocatello, Idaho
Bully Dog, a brand that operates under Derive Systems, started in Aberdeen, Idaho in the late 1990s before relocating to American Falls. Derive Systems CEO David Thawley said the strategic move to Pocatello will give Bully Dog's employees access to more amenities, support the local economy, and help attract more top talent to the growing business.
"It's important for us to keep our business here in Idaho," said Thawley. "Pocatello is a great location for our current employees, and will bring opportunities for growth and jobs to the area."
Bully Dog is moving approximately 50 jobs to its new location in the Kinport Building, 815 S. First St. in Old Town Pocatello. Employees residing in American Falls are still able to commute to the new location. The company expects to be fully operational in its new location by January 2017.

Rain, melting snow cause flooding
Sandbags available in Columbia County
PORTAGE, Wis. - Rain and melting snow over the weekend are causing flooding in some areas of southern Wisconsin.
Isolated flooding is reported in Beloit in areas adjacent to Turtle Creek and low-lying areas. City officials said ice dams have formed on the creek and residents are urged to avoid any recreational activities near the creek.
"You're putting your life in great risk if you go on (Turtle Creek)," said Chris Walsh, director of operations at the Beloit Public Works Department. "The water is really dangerous. It's moving very quickly."
The city is providing sandbags and sand at the Department of Public Works' operations facility on Springbrook Court.
Walter Hable filled dozens of sandbags Monday to protect his home on Beloit's northeast side.
The water was only a couple inches below the level of his basement Monday afternoon.
"We've got the sandbags there now," Hable said, looking at his home. "If the water comes any higher than that, there's nothing you can do about it."
Columbia County is also making sandbags available to residents.
The sandbags and sand are available at the Columbia County highway shop at 338 W. Old Highway 16 in Wyocena.
Columbia County Emergency Management Director Patrick Beghin said there are no specific areas of concern in the county, but he's taken calls from residents trying to keep water away from their homes.
Filled sandbags are available on a first-come first-served basis. After they are gone, fill-your-own bags will be available. Residents are asked to bring their own shovel. Used sandbags can be returned to the same location for disposal.
In Rock County, a flood warning was issued for Turtle Creek. As of Monday morning, the creek was 2 feet above flood stage.
Due to significant precipitation and rising temperatures, the Rock County area is under a flood warning. The Rock County Sheriff's Office said it has received several reports Monday of hazardous areas where water levels are high and in some instances are causing significant travel concerns.
The following incidents are being monitored by the Rock County Sheriff's Office and 911 Communications Center on Monday evening:
• West Keesey Road in Spring Valley Township -- Closed due to high water over the roadway.
• North Emerald Grove Road -- Between CTH M and East Six Corners Road -- Closed due to high water over the roadway.
• East Rotamer Road – Between North Henke Road and North Milton Shopiere Road -- Closed due to high water over the roadway.
• Turtle Creek -- Beloit and Clinton. Both have exceeded flood levels at this time.
The Rock County Sheriff's Office is urging residents to avoid traveling across high water on roadways and report any roads they come across that are impassable.
The Pecatonica River at Darlington is flooding low-lying parks, the Lafayette County Fairgrounds and ATV campgrounds. Some of the public lands will likely have some erosion damage.
As of Monday morning, floodwaters were on East Ann Street, Wells Street, East River Street and Main Street in Darlington.19276894
No homes or occupied businesses are flooded, according to Darlington city officials.
Main Street, which is also State Highway 23, came close to shutting down due flooding from a massive thaw over the weekend.
At one point Sunday night, water from the swelling Pecatonica River was rising a foot an hour. County officials said they were preparing for the worst.
"It came up in a hurry," Lafayette County Highway Commissioner Tom Jean said. "We put a lot of barricades and lights and were ready to shut roads off. We weren't sure exactly if we were going to have to or not."
The river crested at 11 a.m. Monday at 14.42 feet, a foot above flood stage.
In Argyle, people were doing anything they could to get things as far away from the river as possible. Jean said flooding has become a regular part of dealing with spring in the river valley.
"They're fairly minor for us. I was born and raised in this area and we're kind of used to this type of event," Jean said. "We'll shut a few roads and wait for a couple days and the water goes down. We'll clean up and go again."Flood waters in Beloit

Work, run and work. That was my Saturday.
Slept in (which I haven't been able to do for weeks), then prepared a Halloween dinner for twelve with Mrs. TI7's and our son's help (since it was his party).
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
did some last minute decorating for Halloween, cleaned up the house, surfed the net, and then answered the door for all the Halloween kiddies while trying to watch some scary movies.....
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
[FONT=Courier New]Watched College GameDay on TV (in Eugene, OR for the UO/USC game!), used a Clone Cash coupon along with a Fred Meyer doorbuster sale to get 4 Clone Wars figures for $15.00 (2 for $10 was the special), ate Pringles, took a nap on the couch, woke up and went into the bedroom for another nap, smoked some cigarettes, ate some pizza, got to see my little nephew dressed as Thomas for Halloween, and then watched the MIGHTY MIGHTY Oregon Ducks beat USC 47-20.[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]A very full Saturday and the BEST HALLOWEEN EVER.[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]"First of all, never bad mouth synergy..."[/FONT]
Lifted weights. Had a heart attack after watching UI beat IU, waited for the people to leave Kinnick and get off my lawn/roads. Had 2 free tacos, shopped for a new cell phone, knocked off the walmart shopping list.

Tricked or Treated on Saturday then celebrated my birthday on Sunday...it's a two day holiday for me!
For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is.
Our city's annual Founders' Day Parade was today, and like last year, I was asked to help as a participant. The theme was "California Dreamin'," and I was on the (although it turned out there was another float, much less in quality IMHO) Hollywood float. Along with Marilyn Monroe, Mary Poppins (white dress and umbrella look), Audrey Hepburn (Breakfast at Tiffany's dress), Shirley Temple (kids thought she was Annie? ), and myself as Charlie Chaplin (forgot my camera, so I have to wait and see if anyone shares pics with me ). Weather cooperated, and it was a fun time.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Went to see the Fourth Kind. Kinda creepy, especially if the "real" footage was in fact real, but not as much as I had anticipated. Still, it's good to see a movie that doesn't follow the cookie cutter template or isn't just a remake of another movie.
Went to the UNC/Miami game...just getting back!!

Roland SH-2000
The SH-2000, introduced in 1973, is Roland's second synthesizer and is essentially a limited version of the SH-1000. Like the 1000, it is a single-oscillator monophonic analog Preset synthesizer designed to sit atop a home organ. It's got a great old analog sound but its lack of edit-ability and connectivity compared to the SH-1000 is what ultimately holds it back from being really great. (Perhaps Roland wanted to simplify it for the target demographic at the time - churches and casual home organists.)
Below its 37-note keyboard are several colorful tab switches which are used to select any one of its 30 Preset sounds. They range from the usual to the unusual: Tuba, Trombone, French Horn, Trumpet, Saxophone, Bassoon, Oboe, Flute, Clarinet, Cello, Violin, Bass Guitar, Hawaiian Guitar, Banjo, Fuzz Guitar I, Fuzz Guitar II; Piano, Harpsichord, Accordion, Vibraphone, Xylophone; Singing Voice, Song Whistle, Popcorn, Space Reed, Planet, Frog Man, Funny Cat, Growl Wow and Wind.
Left of the keyboard are the only editable controllers available on the SH-2000. They include the filter's cutoff, resonance and modulation sliders, LFO modulation rate, portamento, vibrato, pitch bend, volume and master tuning. The filter and LFO are severely limited and there are no ADSR envelope controls. However, the cool 'Growl' and 'Wow' effects and the Random Note Generator from the SH-1000 are here, which is nice. Amazingly, this 1973 synth has aftertouch, called the 'Touch Effect' which can be assigned to modulate the volume, Vibrato, pitch, 'Wow' and 'Growl' effects. A few other drawbacks to the SH-2000 is the total lack of CV/Gate for external communication and no user memory.
The SH-2000 is great for squeaky effects and growling bass notes. However the SH-1000 offers much more flexibility and a better sounding filter. The SH-2000 is used by Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim, Mighty Dub Kats), 808 State, Blondie, Human League, Mike Oldfield, and Jethro Tull.

shares of online recommendations purveyor Yelp (YELP) are up 98 cents, or 3.6%, at $28.44, following a note from Wedge Partners's Brian Blair, who writes that the company could benefit from Apple's (AAPL) refresh of its own maps application, which he expects will be discussed during next Monday's keynote presentation at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco.
It's been one year since Apple announced integration of Yelp's local listings data and reviews into its iOS operating system for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, notes Blair, and "Yelp's stock is up roughly 75% since that period, driven by growth in the mobile side, which has been lead (in our opinion) by iOS integration."
Blair notes that "36% of ad impressions were shown on mobile in Q1 (vs. 25% in Q4:12). This is much higher than our expectation of 27% and reflects the company's increased leveraging of both the mobile Yelp app, as well as Yelp on the mobile browser, each of which supports ads."
Improvements to Maps, widely derided for errors when it was released in September, could help Yelp, he thinks:
Even with Yelp's solid growth in mobile, however, we believe that the issues surrounding Apple Maps have somewhat crimped Yelp's usage by iOS users who initially had problems with Apple Maps, largely with its 'accuracy' [...] We expect to see numerous changes and feature updates announced for Apple Maps that significantly improve the user experience and ultimately increase adoption of the platform by existing iOS users. We believe this will be a positive for Yelp's mobile metrics, particularly for CYQ4 and provide a stock catalyst, as we believe a better Apple Maps experience will increase Yelp usage by existing iOS users, many of whom continue to use alternative mapping platforms since last September.
Fixes could include public transit directions, improved accuracy of labels and positions, improved directions, better context to local searches, and "an announcement of 'human analysis'," writes Blair, as he thinks Apple needs to add something akin to Google's (GOOG) roving fleet of cars that create Street View to improve accuracy.

Mississippi State wrapped up an 8-5 season with last Tuesday's 30-24 loss to Northwestern in the Gator Bowl. Here's a look back and a look ahead at Dan Mullen's team.
• Biggest surprise: Receiver Chad Bumphis was coming off the worst season of his career, and there were questions about whether he would ever reach the potential he'd shown at Tupelo High School.
Bumphis had a breakout, record-setting senior season, catching 58 passes for 922 yards and a school-record 12 touchdowns.
Not only did he put up big numbers, Bumphis came up big in big games. In SEC play, Bumphis ranks fourth in receiving yards per game (83.6) and is tied for first in TD receptions (eight).
• Biggest disappointment: Senior defensive tackle Josh Boyd wasn't the same without Fletcher Cox lining up next to him. After Cox left school a year early for the NFL, Boyd was asked to slide from nose tackle to the vacated position of three-technique.
His production went down. Boyd recorded 33 tackles, 1.5 sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss, well below his 2011 totals of 51, 4.5 and 8.0.
• Offensive MVP: Quarterback Tyler Russell gave MSU the kind of passing attack it hadn't seen in years. The junior passed for 2,897 yards and 24 touchdowns, smashing the school record in both those categories.
Despite a tough finish – six interceptions over the final two games – Russell was a strong field general who showed poise under pressure.
• Defensive MVP: Cornerback Johnthan Banks finished his illustrious career strong, recording four interceptions, seven pass break-ups and 63 tackles. He led the defense's strongest unit, one that nevertheless had occasional issues due to some sub-standard safety play.
• Emerging star: Defensive end Denico Autry, a junior college transfer, came to MSU as a highly touted All-American but took a while to find his footing. Once he did, the 6-foot-5, 255-pounder became a force.
He finished with 42 tackles, 4.0 sacks, 9.5 TFLs and an interception.
• Five to watch in 2013: Five who could be much bigger factors next season are freshman defensive tackle Quay Evans, sophomore receiver Robert Johnson, sophomore cornerback Jamerson Love, redshirt freshman tailback Josh Robinson and sophomore defensive end Preston Smith.
MSU will return six starters on offense – unless guard Gabe Jackson goes pro early – and five on defense in 2013, but there are several other returnees with varying degrees of starting experience. State got a lot of young players on the field this season, including five true freshmen, and that could help develop the depth necessary to compete in the SEC Western Division.
MSU opens next season on Aug. 31 against Oklahoma State in Houston.

Handy script to search for and install Debian packages
I often find myself searching for a package with
apt-cache search and then installing interesting matches with
apt-get install. Whenever I find myself doing something over and over again, I want to automate it, to make it easier, faster, repeatable. To this end, I have come up with search_and_install.sh.
Some may say that I should just use synaptic or a similar tool. I find doing this is much quicker and easier to use for this use case.
To Use
To use, just run
search_and_install.sh or
search_and_install.sh <search terms>. If you leave off the search terms, a dialog box will prompt you for the search terms. If there are matches, a dialog box will come up listing the matching packages with their name and the short description returned by
apt-cache search. Each will have a checkbox beside it. Check the packages you want to install and then hit OK. You will then be prompted for your password (or your root password, if you are on a non-Ubuntu system), and synaptic will run, downloading and installing the selected packages.
Currently, packages you already have installed are shown in the list. In future versions, I'd like to filter those out.
bash, zenity, apt, synaptic, gksu
A standard Ubuntu install should have these, and these are easily installable on any other Debian-derived distro.
Download search_and_install.sh.
This and other scripts will be linked from my Random Code page. Hopefully something there will be useful.

Events focus on democracy, Olympics in China
Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 26-27, 2008, 4:30 p.m. · 302 Frist Campus Center and 1 Robertson Hall
Posted February 22, 2008; 01:16 p.m.
A panel discussion on democratic changes in China and a lecture by an organizer of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 26-27, in conjunction with a visit to Princeton by a delegation of students from two Chinese universities.
Students from Peking and Tsinghua universities will be on campus Feb. 25-27 as part of an initiative called Initiating Mutual Understanding Through Student Exchange (IMUSE), which aims to promote cultural interaction between Chinese and North American students. The students' tour also will include visits to Harvard, Yale, Stanford and McGill universities.
For Princeton students, the visit is designed to provide perspectives on China's latest social and political issues. It will include two events that are open to the public:
• The visiting Chinese students will participate in a panel discussion on "Democratic Changes in China" at 4:30 p.m. Feb. 26 in 302 Frist Campus Center. The panel also will include two Princeton scholars of Chinese politics: Lynn White, a professor of politics and international affairs, and Mayling Birney, a lecturer in public and international affairs and postdoctoral fellow in the Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts.
• Jicheng Xu, a senior officer of the organizing committee for Beijing's 2008 Olympics will discuss this summer's games -- the first hosted by China -- at 4:30 p.m. Feb. 27 in 1 Robertson Hall.
The events are sponsored by the Davis International Center and IMUSE.

Well, since I still don't have cable, I'm forced to download the episodes off of iTunes, so I just watched the season 2 premiere yesterday.
Usually, I'm that guy who likes to read the books and get the basic story down, including how everything ends, before I even watch movies or shows like this. However, I'm making a concerted effort to stay as "spoiler-free" as possible for this show. I don't know what's going to happen next and I don't want to know. So, as you might guess, the ending of this week's show caught me completely off guard.
I'm assuming that this turn of events was in the comic book, but it's still a pretty gutsy thing to put on television.
My only minor gripe is a tiny one. I understand that mediums like TV and comics prefer to have strong visual representations of spiritual or religious beliefs; but I don't know that any Southern Baptist Church would ever have a statue of Jesus Christ on the cross right in the center of their sanctuary (I was raised Southern Baptist, but am currently in a Presbyterian Church). They might have a cross, but it will always be empty; because praying to a carved image of Jesus/GOD is still considered idolatry. I'm assuming it was a concession made for storytelling purposes and it's good to see a show that takes a respectful approach to religion for a change; so it's something that I can overlook.

News Releases, Media Advisories
WASHINGTON – The Federal Election Commission has submitted to Congress and the President six priority recommendations for legislative action in the area of campaign finance law – changes to the law that the six-member Commission unanimously believes "would have a significant effect on the election system," said FEC Chairman Darryl R. Wold in a cover letter.
Chairman Wold wrote:
"In accordance with 2 U.S.C. §438(a)(9), the Federal Election Commission is pleased to submit for your consideration six priority recommendations for legislative action, summarized as follows:
Chairman Wold also noted that another 32 legislative recommendations would soon be submitted to the President and Congress. The first group in that 32 will contain recommendations that, "...if incorporated into the statute, would greatly ease the burden on political committees or streamline the administration of the current campaign finance law by addressing areas that have been problematic," wrote the Chairman. He added that the second part of the group of 32 "...contains recommendations that are primarily technical in nature and would correct outdated or inconsistent parts of the law."
The FEC Chairman closed his letter by saying that the Commission hopes the proposals will be helpful and that they "...reflect the judgment and experience of 25 years administering and enforcing the federal election campaign laws."

On my way to the cafeteria today I ran in to a group of colleagues staring upwards. After being convinced it wasn't just spontaneous street theatre I realised it was for this event (more realistic picture here) (I love the description of "aircraft equipped with dot-matrix technology"). It provoked childlike levels of excitement. Those who missed it seemed sorely disappointed.
Not much else worthy of note at the moment. I don't have much time to read or watch anything fun. The main thing on my To Do list is to noot my Nook Color (a gift from my wife) as the out-of-box environment is pretty minimal (no clock, calculator, text editor etc.).

Whew, that was fun. We just had an ingenious virus implemented and deployed against this site. The hole is closed now, and apparently the only damage done was corrupting people's names.
The hole itself was very simple: strings entered in the "given name" and "surname" fields was passed through to the final rendered HTML with no quoting. The virus exploited this hole to embed "iframe" tags, which then caused a form submission changing the name fields and propagating the virus.
My guess is that a huge fraction of sites that take postings (web boards, guestbooks, etc.) have similar problems. I tried my best to code mod_virgule carefully, the code has been quite stable, and a number of people have been over it. There are just so many security gotchas that it's nearly inevitable you'll run across one or another.
Here's one that's gotten relatively little publicity: Netscape 4.X on Unix treats 0x8B and 0x9B the same as < and >. Thus, any site which posts user-submitted text and does not filter these characters is vulnerable to exactly the same kind of attack. Try it and see.
How would you make it secure?
There are two problems here. First, string quoting wasn't done properly. There is a systematic approach to the problem, but I haven't seen it used much (including the mod_virgule code): types. Specifically, you have one type for arbitrary strings, and other types for variously quoted strings (the web has a few such contexts, some of which are quite similar). The only way to cast between them is to do a quoting operation (or to verify that no quoting is needed).
But the deeper problem is that Web applications interact with Web browsers, which are capable of extremely rich and diverse behaviors (not entirely unlike execution of macros in documents, when it comes down to it). Reasoning about exactly what a browser might do in all possible contexts is difficult to the point of intractibility.
Do I think that Advogato is "secure" now? The odds are against it, even though I'd argue that the code quality and process are superior to most web applications out there. Yet, a lot of people seem to think that a Web browser is a good interface to do things like move around money.
(thanks to Bram for discussion on this topic)
I got a nice note from Freek Wiedijk about proof systems (somebody had tipped him off that I was writing about them in my diary). Among other things, he pointed to mowgli, a math system explicitly designed to work on the Web. He and I agree that XML is not all that tasteful, although I do think that the Web emphasis is a good thing.
Freek is also a fan of Mizar. I agree, it's worth looking at. One of the things that turned me off initially is the lack of a free software implementation (the official implementation is almost free). Given the impressive library of proofs, and the other advantages of the system, including readability, I'd imagine that doing a new implementation would be a nice smallish project.
Presence and change notification
Taral brought up "presence" as an interesting problem in peer-to-peer networking, which doesn't seem to have gotten much attention. It's a concept from instant messaging, but I define it to mean notification of "join" and "leave" events.
Presence is a special case of the general problem of change notification. A robust, efficient technique for change notification would be incredibly useful. On the Web, most people do it by pinging, but with obviously poor latency and waste of bandwidth (and an unpleasant tradeoff between the two). For the most part, it works almost well enough, but people feel the limitations enough to propose crude new mechanisms such as RSS clouds.
One special challenge with presence is that the target node can't itself send a notification when it goes down. You have to either ping it yourself (with problems noted above) or rely on a witness. Then, you get into the dual problems of whether the witness is trustworthy, and handling cases where it suddenly leaves at the same time as the target ("backhoe failure").
My personal feeling is that in a robust change notification system, you have to deal with the reliability of proxies anyway, so presence is best implemented as one application of a general change notification mechanism. Taral feels, rather, that presence is a separate building block that's needed to implement other change notification services.
In any case, I think it's an excellent research project for somebody interested in peer-to-peer networking, in part because it's probably a lot easier than many p2p problems. After all, pinging does work, you just want better performance.
Obvious applications of change notification include Web caching, DNS propagation, and "ticker"-style news clients. I'm sure that you'd see a lot more applications if there were a good infrastructure available.
Max the Unsqueamish
Our compost bin went bad over the past couple of days, probably helped by the warmer than average weather. Today there were flies buzzing around, so we decided to dump the whole thing in the garbage. Of course, Max wanted to help.
When we opened it up, we were confronted with probably the grossest spectacle in our lives. The bin was crawling with maggots, and with a smell to match. Shit would be pleasantly aromatic by comparison. I offered to dump it out by myself, but Heather assured me she could do it herself. I took Max inside because I figured he did not need to see (and smell) this.
In any case, Heather asked me back outside for help shortly. Max absolutely insisted on coming outside too. He knew there was something happening and did not want to miss it. So we let him, and a few minutes later we had the worst of it dumped in the garbage bin.
Of course, the compost bins still needed hosing down. This is Max's domain, and he wasn't about to let anyone else encroach on it. So he happily sprayed them with the hose until they were reasonably clean. I went inside for a bit, at which point Heather asked whether I threw up. I didn't, but I can see why she asked. I had gagged a bit when we were dumping out the lower tray, entirely filled with maggots swimming in putrid water.
But the next part truly earns Max his title above. When we were done, we went back inside and Max asked for me to cook dinner. He said he was hungry, that he loves "dinner", and that it makes him grow big and big, so he can ride the bumper cars. This has been a goal of his ever since he went to Marine World and was denied riding in the bumper cars because he was too small, even though Alan got to ride. I got him a Pizza Lunchables from the fridge, which he ate heartily. Then Heather and I waited a bit more than an hour for our stomachs to settle down enough to eat.
There are times I doubt he's normal.

Communism explored in performance of two plays
Posted February 26, 2009; 04:57 p.m.
A performance that explores communism at its most ironic -- through the visions of Czech playwright Vaclav Havel and Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky -- will be presented at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 6-7, in the Hamilton-Murray Theater.
Titled "Under the Bed and Behind the Curtain: Playing with Communism," the performance will be directed by Princeton junior Nadia Talel. It will feature students from the University and local elementary schools and high schools, as well as actors from the greater Princeton area.
They will present Havel's "The Unveiling," a tale of an absurd social ceremony in which the main character is invited to dinner by friends eager to show off their Westernized lifestyle; and Mayakovsky's "The Bedbug," a satirical play that deals with the Soviet philistinism and bureaucracy.
Talel is majoring in Slavic languages and literatures and pursuing certificates in theater and dance and Near Eastern studies.
The event is sponsored by the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures. Tickets are $12 for general admission, $8 for students and free with Tiger Tickets marked "Student Events Eligible." They are available online through University Ticketing or by calling (609) 258-9220.

Alfresco Names Bill Robinson Vice President of Americas
20 Year Industry Veteran to Lead North American SalesLONDON—March 4th, 2009 — Alfresco Software, Inc. today announced Bill Robinson's appointment as vice president of the Americas. With over 20 years of software experience, Robinson will be responsible for managing and scaling Alfresco's growing North American sales operations. Robinson takes over the reins from Matt Asay, who led Alfresco's groundbreaking US expansion and who will now focus on expanding Alfresco's business development initiatives and strategic partnerships.
"This past year, Alfresco has seen record growth with a very strong sales pipeline, a doubling of customer subscriptions, and an expansion in the partner network," said John Powell, CEO of Alfresco Software. "We have seen tremendous customer interest in our Alfresco 3.0 release as a low-cost ECM and SharePoint alternative. The addition of Bill Robinson to the Alfresco team will allow us to continue building our North American sales team and allow Matt Asay to focus on strategic relationships and business development. Bill has a proven track record in creating high-value channel partner ecosystems which will compliment Alfresco's open source business model."
Robinson has extensive experience growing successful sales organizations. Previously, Robinson was senior vice president of global sales for Witness Systems, a leader in workforce optimization solutions, where he grew sales by $100 million contributing to their $1 billion valuation. Prior to Witness Systems, he was vice president of North American operations for Actuate Corporation, a world leader in enterprise reporting applications. Robinson was also vice president of North American channels and vice president of North American sales for Business Objects, a world-leading provider of business intelligence software solutions. Robinson also held positions with Cognos, Group 1 Software and Triad Systems Corporation.
"It is clear that enterprises have to do more with less and as a result, open source technology is making its way into enterprises at faster and faster rates," said Robinson. "I am excited to be working with Alfresco, as it clearly is established as the dominant open source ECM provider. Alfresco's strong technology, ease of use and compelling cost advantages make it ideal for organizations that need to manage increasing levels of content internally and externally. Alfresco is the only provider to bring ECM to the masses and leverage the social media tools that are proliferating in organizations."

1996 Case Definition
Clinical description
A sexually transmitted disease characterized by painful genital ulceration and inflammatory inguinal adenopathy. The disease is caused by infection with Haemophilus ducreyi.
Laboratory criteria for diagnosis
Case classification
Probable: a clinically compatible case with both a) no evidence of Treponema pallidum infection by darkfield microscopic examination of ulcer exudate or by a serologic test for syphilis performed greater than or equal to 7 days after onset of ulcers and b) either a clinical presentation of the ulcer(s) not typical of disease caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) or a culture negative for HSV.
Confirmed: a clinically compatible case that is laboratory confirmed
Chlamydia trachomatis Infection
2010 Case Definition
Infection with Chlamydia trachomatis may result in urethritis, epididymitis, cervicitis, acute salpingitis, or other syndromes when sexually transmitted; however, the infection is often asymptomatic in women. Perinatal infections may result in inclusion conjunctivitis and pneumonia in newborns. Other syndromes caused by C. trachomatis include lymphogranuloma venereum (see Lymphogranuloma Venereum) and trachoma.
Confirmed: a case that is laboratory confirmed
Gonorrhea (Neisseria gonorrhoeae)
2014 Case Definition
A sexually transmitted infection commonly manifested by urethritis, cervicitis, proctitis, salpingitis, or pharyngitis. Infection may be asymptomatic.
Probable: demonstration of gram-negative intracellular diplococci in a urethral smear obtained from a male or an endocervical smear obtained from a female
Confirmed: a person with laboratory isolation of typical gram-negative, oxidase-positive diplococci by culture (presumptive Neisseria gonorrhoeae) from a clinical specimen, or demonstration of N. gonorrhoeae in a clinical specimen by detection of antigen or detection of nucleic acid via nucleic acid amplification (e.g., Polymerase Chain Reaction [PCR]) or hybridization with nucleic acid probe.
Lymphogranuloma Venereum (Chlamydia trachomatis)
1997 Case Definition
Infection with L1, L2, or L3 serovars of Chlamydia trachomatis may result in a disease characterized by genital lesions, suppurative regional lymphadenopathy, or hemorrhagic proctitis. The infection is usually sexually transmitted.
Probable: a clinically compatible case with one or more tender fluctuant inguinal lymph nodes or characteristic proctogenital lesions with supportive laboratory findings of a single C. trachomatis complement fixation (CF) titer of greater than 64
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
*** 2010 California-specific Case Definition ***
A clinical syndrome resulting from the ascending spread of microorganisms from the vagina and endocervix to the endometrium, fallopian tubes, and/or contiguous structures; among sexually active women, characterized by pelvic or lower abdominal pain, with no cause for the illness other than PID identified.
Probable: A sexually active woman with pelvic or lower abdominal pain, with no cause for the illness other than PID identified with one or more of the following minimum criteria present on pelvic examination: cervical motion tenderness OR uterine tenderness OR adnexal tenderness; AND treated for PID by a medical provider.
Syphilis (Treponema pallidum)
Syphilis, primary
A stage of infection with Treponema pallidum characterized by one or more ulcerative lesions (e.g. chancre), which might differ considerably in clinical appearance.
Probable: a case that meets the clinical description of primary syphilis with a reactive serologic test (nontreponemal: Venereal Disease Research Laboratory [VDRL] or rapid plasma reagin [RPR]; or equivalent equivalent serologic methods; treponemal: fluorescent treponemal antibody absorbed [FTA-ABS], T. pallidum particle agglutination [TP-PA], enzyme immunoassay [EIA], chemiluminescence immunoassay [CIA], or equivalent serologic methods). These treponemal tests supersede older testing technologies, including microhemagglutination assay for antibody to T. pallidum [MHA-TP].
Confirmed: a case that meets the clinical description of primary syphilis that is laboratory confirmed
Syphilis, secondary
A stage of infection caused by T. pallidum characterized by localized or diffuse mucocutaneous lesions (e.g., rash — such as non-pruritic macular, maculopapular, papular, or pustular lesions), often with generalized lymphadenopathy. Other symptoms can include mucous patches, condyloma lata, and alopecia. The primary ulcerative lesion may still be present. Because of the wide array of symptoms possibly indicating secondary syphilis, serologic tests for syphilis and a thorough sexual history and physical examination are crucial to determining if a case should be classified as secondary syphilis.
Probable: a case that meets the clinical description of secondary syphilis with a nontreponemal (VDRL, RPR, or equivalent serologic methods) titer ≥4 AND a reactive treponemal test (FTA-ABS, TP-PA, EIA, CIA, or equivalent serologic methods
Confirmed: a case that meets the clinical description of secondary syphilis (with at least one sign or symptom) that is laboratory confirmed
Syphilis, early latent
A subcategory of latent syphilis (a stage of infection caused by T. pallidum in which organisms persist in the body of the infected person without causing symptoms or signs) when initial infection has occurred within the previous 12 months.
Probable: a person with no clinical signs or symptoms of syphilis who has one of the following:
AND evidence of having acquired the infection within the previous 12 months based on one or more of the following criteria:
Syphilis, late latent
A subcategory of latent syphilis (a stage of infection caused by T. pallidum in which organisms persist in the body of the infected person without causing symptoms or signs) when initial infection has occurred >12 months previously.
Probable: a person with no clinical signs or symptoms of syphilis who has one of the following:
AND who has no evidence of having acquired the disease within the preceding 12 months (see Syphilis, early latent).
Syphilis, late, with clinical manifestations other than neurosyphilis (late benign syphilis and cardiovascular syphilis)
Clinical manifestations of late syphilis may include inflammatory lesions of the cardiovascular system, (e.g., aortitis, coronary vessel disease), skin (e.g., gummatous lesions), bone (e.g., osteitis) or other tissue. Rarely, other structures (e.g., the upper and lower respiratory tracts, mouth, eye, abdominal organs, reproductive organs, lymph nodes, and skeletal muscle) may be involved. Late syphilis usually becomes clinically manifest only after a period of 15–30 years of untreated infection. If only neurologic manifestations of syphilis (e.g., tabes dorsalis, dementia) are present and infection occurred more than 12 months ago, the case should be reported as "late syphilis".
Demonstration of T. pallidum in late lesions by special stains (although organisms are rarely visualized in late lesions), or equivalent methods, or by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or equivalent direct molecular methods.
Probable: characteristic abnormalities or lesions of the cardiovascular system (e.g., aortitis, coronary vessel disease), skin (e.g., gummatous lesions), bone (e.g., osteitis), or other tissue AND a reactive treponemal test (e.g., FTA-ABS, TP-PA, EIA, CIA, or equivalent serologic methods), in the absence of other known causes of these abnormalities. CSF abnormalities and clinical symptoms or signs consistent with neurologic manifestations of syphilis might be present.
Confirmed: a case that meets the clinical description of late syphilis that is laboratory confirmed
Analysis of CSF for evidence of neurosyphilis is necessary in the evaluation of late syphilis with clinical manifestations.
Syphilis, congenital
2015 Case Definition
Clinical Description
A condition caused by infection in utero with Treponema pallidum. A wide spectrum of severity exists, from inapparent infection to severe cases that are clinically apparent at birth. An infant or child (aged less than 2 years) may have signs such as hepatosplenomegaly, rash, condyloma lata, snuffles, jaundice (nonviral hepatitis), pseudoparalysis, anemia, or edema (nephrotic syndrome and/or malnutrition). An older child may have stigmata (e.g., interstitial keratitis, nerve deafness, anterior bowing of shins, frontal bossing, mulberry molars, Hutchinson teeth, saddle nose, rhagades, or Clutton joints).
Demonstration of Treponema pallidum by :
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or other equivalent direct molecular methods of lesions, neonatal nasal discharge, placenta, umbilical cord, or autopsy material, or
Immunohistochemistry (IHC), or special stains (e.g., silver staining) of specimens from lesions, placenta, umbilical cord, or autopsy material.
Probable: a condition affecting an infant whose mother had untreated or inadequately treated* syphilis at delivery, regardless of signs in the infant, or an infant or child who has a reactive non-treponemal test for syphilis (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory [VDRL], rapid plasma reagin [RPR], or equivalent serologic methods) AND any one of the following:
Confirmed: a case that is laboratory confirmed
Congenital and acquired syphilis may be difficult to distinguish when a child is seropositive after infancy. Signs of congenital syphilis may not be obvious, and stigmata may not yet have developed. Abnormal values for CSF VDRL, WBC count, and protein may be found in either congenital or acquired syphilis. Findings on radiographs of long bones may help because radiographic changes in the metaphysis and epiphysis are considered classic signs of congenitally acquired syphilis. While maternal antibodies can complicate interpretation of serologic tests in an infant, reactive tests past 18 months of age are considered to reflect the status of the child. The decision may ultimately be based on maternal history and clinical judgment. In a young child, the possibility of sexual abuse should be considered as a cause of acquired rather than congenital syphilis, depending on the clinical picture. For reporting purposes, congenital syphilis includes cases of congenitally acquired syphilis among infants and children as well as syphilitic stillbirths.
* Adequate treatment is defined as completion of a penicillin-based regimen, in accordance with CDC treatment guidelines, appropriate for stage of infection, initiated 30 or more days before delivery.
Syphilitic stillbirth
A fetal death that occurs after a 20-week gestation or in which the fetus weighs greater than 500 g and the mother had untreated or inadequately treated* syphilis at delivery.
For reporting purposes, syphilitic stillbirths should be reported as cases of congenital syphilis.

Selling Candy
Student Exploration
One of the most common ways that teenagers start to make money is by selling candy. If you buy a case of candy, it can cost you about $26 for a box of 30 pieces of big candy bars, which means that if you sell each candy bar for $1, you can get a $4 profit. If you and your friend Jay are both selling candy, we can represent this relationship by using and proving the distributive property.
You and Jay sold a lot of candy bars. Let's say you sold 15 boxes in one week and she sold 8 boxes.
We can represent the total amount that the two of you earned in two different ways.
The first way to represent how much money you both made total is by adding the total number of boxes sold and then multiplying this by 4. So, we would get the sum, which is and then multiplying that by 4, which is .
Another way to represent this relationship is if you figured out how much you made first, before Jay. Since you knew that you sold 15 bars, you multiplied your earnings by 4, so or $60, and then added Jay's earnings. Then, your total earnings would be . These two methods would yield the same answer, right? Do the calculations to check. Since these are two different ways of representing the total profit, what does this mean?
These two ways actually help prove the distributive property, and why the distributive property holds true. If we were to distribute the 4 to 15 and 8, we would get the second expression above.
But, let's say that you and Jay both decided that $4 is not a very good profit, and wanted to see what kinds of profit you can make by changing how much you want your profit to be. We can also represent this using the distributive property!
Let's say that "" will represent the number of dollars you want to add to your $4 current profit. We can use the expression to represent the total amount of profit between you and your friend. We can also represent this as the sum of both of your profits individually. Your profit would be , which represents the amount added to your current profit and then the sum multiplied by 15, or the number of boxes of candy you sold. Jay's profit would be , which represents the amount added to her current profit and then the sum multiplied by 8, or the number of boxes of candy she sold. To find the total profit between the two of you, you'd take the sum of the two quantities, or adding . Since a common factor in this expression is , we can also rewrite this as . We just factored this expression by finding the common factor, or by grouping!
Extension Investigation
Check out other ways that you can represent the distributive property and factoring in your world. When would this be useful to you?
If we went back to the example above about selling candy, could you figure out a way to sell something and find a way to make the maximum profit? If so, how? What type of relationship would this represent? (Linear? Quadratic?) If it's quadratic, what would the point of that would yield the maximum profit be called?

I've recently whelped a litter of puppies and intend to keep a female as a hunting companion and potential future brood bitch. Of the four females in the litter three of them have a small white spot on their chest. Ideally, I'd rather not keep a pontential breeding bitch with a white spot, but there are a lot more important things to consider when evaluating the pups.
So, I thought it might help me put things in perspective if you folks could tell me about famous Labs who had white spots on their chests. Do you have any candidates for the list?

Fire damages Moffett Hall lab in early morning, Dec. 11
Posted December 11, 2001; 10:42 a.m.
fire on campus Tuesday morning caused significant damage to a molecular biology laboratory in Moffett Hall and forced the temporary evacuation of Moffett, Schultz and Guyot halls. No one was injured.
The fire, which is still under investigation, appears to have been electrical in nature, probably caused by an equipment failure. The lab works on DNA synthesizing and sequencing.
A handful of people were in the building when the fire alarm went off at 6:28 a.m. and they were evacuated. Public Safety officials responded immediately, along with Princeton Borough firefighters and emergency medical personnel.
A Hazmat team also responded because of hazardous chemicals stored in the lab. With the exception of a single one-gallon container of a solvent, which was consumed by the fire, no other chemicals were involved.
Damage to the lab and to the floor below, which has not yet been tallied, was caused primarily by smoke and water. The fire itself was contained to a small area in the lab and was extinguished quickly.
The buildings were reopened shortly before 9 a.m., but the lab itself remains closed.
