Craig Price
Craig Price (also known as the Warwick Slasher, born August 1974) is a serial killer from Warwick, Rhode Island. He was arrested in 1989 for four murders committed in his neighborhood: A woman and her two daughters that year, and the murder of another woman two years prior. He had a previous criminal record for petty theft. After he was discovered, Price calmly confessed to his crimes. Arrested a month before his 16th birthday, he was tried and convicted as a minor. By law, this meant that he would be released and his criminal records sealed as soon as he turned 21. Price bragged that he would "make history" when he was released. The case led to changes in state law to allow juveniles to be tried as adults for serious crimes, but these could not be applied retroactively to Price. Due to the brutality of his crimes and the opinion of state psychologists that he was a poor candidate for rehabilitation, a group called Citizens Opposed to the Release of Craig Price formed to lobby for his continued imprisonment.

|Barry Pederson on D&C: Tuukka Rask 'making it look easy'
|06.18.13 at 11:33 am ET
NESN Bruins analyst Barry Pederson joined the Dennis & Callahan show Tuesday morning to talk about the Bruins' win in Game 3, the value of team defense and Tuukka Rask's technically sound play in goal.
Pederson said that the Bruins team defense has played consistently well throughout the playoffs and has been key in winning not only the physical battle but the mental battle.
'We have seen it whether it was Toronto, the Rangers, Chicago in here or Pittsburgh,' Pederson said. 'It is the fact that they're breaking the will of the opponent. It is so frustrating to go out there and every time you get the puck, [Zdeno] Chara is taking away your space, he is running you through the boards, you think you've got an open lane and you go to throw it across and all of a sudden [Dennis] Seidenberg is in there with his stick, with his feet. They just don't give you an inch.
'After a while it is almost like when you have a horse and you saddle-break him. Once his shoulders roll on you, you know you have the horse's spirit broken and you have a chance of breaking him and getting him saddle-broken. Here's the situation to me where you can see it on the ice where guys are going, 'OK, we are ready, Chicago. Here comes our energy.' And it's like, 'Oh, this just ain't happening.' They're just frustrating them.'
That strong team defense is a testament to Claude Julien sticking with his defensive system and having his players buy into it. It is also the result of general manager Peter Chiarelli bringing in players that fit Julien's system well and are willing to play hard on the defensive end every night.
Pederson said that one thing that makes Chiarelli successful is that he is willing to pay players for their contributions on the defensive end — not just the offensive end.
'What happens a lot of times is somebody says, 'OK, we want to play a certain style and we want to reward these guys for being successful, but yet they're playing team defense,' ' Pederson said. 'A lot of times throughout the season when things aren't going well it's like, 'We just don't have enough offense. We don't have those stars like [Evgeni] Malkin and [Sidney] Crosby who can generate a lot of goals.' But champions, as we know, are known for both sides of the puck. Not only the offense, but it's that great, smothering team defense and the structure and the layers they have defensively.
'It has been very important also for Peter Chiarelli to reward these players for not only their offense that they show us by being maybe a point-a-game guy, but they are capable on other teams of probably being 80- or 90-point seasons, but they're not. They are giving it up for the team and they are doing it the right way.'
Tuukka Rask was the beneficiary of the strong team defense in the Bruins' win in Game 3, as he was protected well in his 28-save shutout Monday. However, Pederson said he thinks Rask may not be getting the credit he deserves because he is making it look easier than it is.
'I think one of the things that we are getting ourselves maybe into a bad habit of, is because Tuukka is so sound technically and is so much in control of his emotions right now, he is making it look easy,' Pederson said. 'It's not as easy as it looks. He is just attacking the shooters correctly. When he goes down he is taking up space, his belly is not touching the ice, he is standing up straight with his chest, he is controlling his rebounds.
'A couple of times last night you could see the shifts were getting long and the Bruins needed a whistle. They are coming down the right side and they shoot the puck. He is able to control the rebound and throw it outside of the rink to get yourself a stop or a whistle. He has done a great job. He will be the first to tell you that his team in front of him is playing very well defensively, but I also think his teammates will tell you, 'Hey, listen, he is playing so well right now and he is so locked in, he is making it look easier than it actually is.' '
As hard as the crew inside TD Garden tried Monday, the ice was hardly suitable for two of the best hockey teams in the world to do battle. But battle they did.
There were bouncing pucks all night. There were players like Brad Marchand losing control on what appeared to be a certain shorthanded breakaway. There were pucks jumping over defensemen's sticks as they tried to keep the puck in the offensive zone.
In short, this is what happens when you play on a humid 80-degree day in mid-June in Boston. The Garden is typically an ice-box in the winter because there is no in-house dehumidifier in the building. As they did in 2011, TD Garden tried to fix the humidity issue by bringing in high-tech dehumidifiers beginning with the Penguins series. On Monday, they didn't do much good as far as the ice was concerned.
Asked if he thought the conditions were "crappy," Dennis Seidenberg tried to be as kind as possible but couldn't help but state the obvious.
"It is pretty bad," Seidenberg said. "When you try to shoot, try to swing your blade on the ice, it feels like it's sandpaper. It's really rough. When you try to pass, the puck bounces. That's why you have to keep the game simple, like I said. If there's a play to be made, you have to make sure it's an easy one. If not, you rather choose to go over the wall and out.
"Again, there was breakdowns today, but we seemed to cover them up a little bit better than the other side."
It's similar to when infielders complain about the dirt at Fenway Park, a common occurrence in the 1960s and 70s and, to a lesser degree, today.
Then there's the perspective of the goalie. Tuukka Rask has already had one episode on the sketchy ice of Madison Square Garden – leading to the "butt stumble" in Game 4 of the Eastern semis that the Rangers won in overtime. Monday, Rask avoided an embarrassing repeat, no thanks to the ice conditions.
"The ice was pretty good in the start of the periods," Rask said. "Then pretty quickly it got really chippy. It's tough to get the read off of shots when it's really a mess out there with the ice. You just got to be extra careful with the crazy bounces and stuff. You don't want to make any stupid mistakes playing the puck either. You just got to be extra careful."
|Tuukka Rask shuts out Blackhawks as Bruins take Game 3
|06.17.13 at 10:49 pm ET
For once, overtime was not necessary between the Bruins and Blackhawks as the B's took a 2-1 series lead in the Stanley Cup finals with a 2-0 victory in Game 3 at TD Garden.
Tuukka Rask picked up his third shutout of the playoffs (and the last seven games), as the B's outplayed the Blackhawks in the most decidedly won game of the series thus far. Rask faced 27 shots, stopping them all .
The new third line of Chris Kelly between Daniel Paille and Tyler Seguin was once again strong for the Bruins, scoring and drawing penalties. Paille opened the game's scoring in the second period, and after drawn penalties from Kelly and then Paille, Patrice Bergeron made it 2-0 with his second power play goal of the series.
Tempers boiled over late in the game, with Zdeno Chara and Bryan Bickell going at it in in front of the net. As the two fought, Brad Marchand and Andrew Shaw got tangled up in what was the hockey equivalent of Ross and Russ fighting in Friends.
Game 4 will be played Wednesday in Boston before the series heads back to Chicago for Game 5.
– Yes, it's more impressive that the Bruins went four games without allowing a point to the likes of Sidney Crosby and some of the Penguins' other offensive stars, but let's realize that they're doing it to the Blackhawks too. Patrick Sharp's goal in Game 2, which was assisted by Patrick Kane and Michael Handzus, is the only goal the Blackhawks have gotten out of their top-six this series. As a result, the top two lines have been in flux for the Blackhawks. That wasn't helped by Marian Hossa's absence due to what is believed to be an injury suffered in warmups.
– Patrice Bergeron is a man. In addition to his six shots on goal in the first 40 minutes alone, he went 19-3 on draws in the first two periods, including a perfect 8-0 against Michael Handzus.
– It would have been logical to think the Bruins would have a hard time winning the Stanley Cup without Jaromir Jagr scoring, but his pass to Bergeron on Boston's second goal was enough to quiet that talk. With Milan Lucic set up in front of the net on the power play and Jagr at the bottom of the right circle, Jargr sent a saucer pass through Lucic to Bergeron at the bottom of the left circle. Crawford, like everybody else, thought he pass was headed for Lucic in front, so he wasn't in position to stop Bergeron, who took his time before firing a wrist shot into the plenty of open net he had to work with.
It wasn't all good for Jagr, has he had a comically bad drop-pass to nobody in the final five minutes of the game that made for an easy turnover as Kane and the Blackhawks took it the other way.
– The Blackhawks are just wretched on the power play. They had just one shot on goal in their two first-period power plays combined, and it was the Bruins who had more scoring opportunities during Thornton's power play. Rich Peverley had a scoring chance, Daniel Paille nearly beat Crawford to the puck when the Chicago goalie came way out of his net and Brad Marchand had a shorthanded breakaway in the final seconds of the penalty. He lost the puck while dekeing, which prompted him to break his stick on the bench afterwards.
– That third line is money, and I honestly don't think there has been a stretch all season in which the Bruins' third line has had two notable good games in a row. Paille had a heck of a game, getting to a loose puck from Bolland at the right circle and wheeling around to fire it past Crawford. He was rewarded for his season of strong offensive play by getting some power play time in the second period, and it was in the final 15 or so seconds on that power play that he drew a tripping penalty to set up the power play on which Bergeron scored.
Paille wasn't the only third-liner to draw a penalty. Chris Kelly beat Bolland to a puck and got cross-checked by Bolland in the offensive zone in the second period to set up the power play on which Paille drew his penalty.
– The Bruins aren't playing their fourth line much this round, so they don't need them taking penalties when they do get ice time. Both Kaspars Daugavins and Shawn Thornton took roughing penalties in the first period and were bailed out by the fact that Chicago can't score a power play goal. It was a forgettable night in general for Daugavins, who was called for offsides twice — including what would have been a breakaway when he got out of the box, but he put himself offsides. You don't see that every day.
|What they're saying in the Windy City: Tuukka Rask is really good, Bruins are outhitting Blackhawks, Jonathan Toews needs to step it up
|at 1:09 pm ET
Chicago sportswriters realized over the weekend what Bruins fans have known for quite some time: Tuukka Rask is really, really good.
Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune writes that Rask has been the Bruins' 'saving grace,' his 1.73 goals-against average and .944 save percentage in the playoffs a huge reason the Bruins have gotten this far. She credits Rask, who collected 33 saves Saturday's Game 2 overtime win, with preventing the game from 'spinning wildly out of the Bruins' control.'
Count Tyler Seguin among those appreciative of the netminder's performance.
'He shows on a consistent basis why we have so much confidence in him, but he also gives us more motivation to do it for him sometimes," Seguin said. "Especially if you look at [Saturday's] game, it could have been 4-0 or 5-0 after the first. We weren't ready. We were on our heels, and they were playing great. He kept us in the game."
Kane quotes Rask, however, as staying his usual, humble ' albeit tired after not sleeping much Saturday night ' self.
"I don't try to prove anything to anybody else but for myself and my teammates," Rask said. "I always feel like I'm in a zone. '¦ It's nothing different. It's just another game.'
|Shawn Thornton on D&C: No excuse for Bruins' slow start in Game 2, 'can't let it happen again'
|at 9:50 am ET
Bruins forward Shawn Thornton joined Dennis & Callahan on Monday morning to talk about the Stanley Cup finals leading into Monday night's Game 3 at TD Garden.
The Bruins were outshot 19-4 in the first period of Saturday night's Game 2, but some inspiring words in the locker room got the B's motivated and they responded with a 2-1 overtime win. Thornton wouldn't reveal which players led the talk, but he said the feeling in the room was mutual.
"We knew we were not good enough," he said. "But we also brought up the fact that even though we were terrible, that was probably as good as they were going to be be, and maybe as bad as we were going to be, that Tuukka [Rask] gave us a chance to only be down 1-0. If we could regroup, then we could get things going."
Thornton said while the Bruins started slow, the Blackhawks deserve some credit for dominating the opening 20 minutes.
"I don't have a reasoning for [the slow start]. All I can say is it wasn't good enough, and we can't let it happen again," Thornton said. "Give them credit, though. They came out flying. They were ready from the drop of the puck. They really pushed the pace. We're fortunate to have [Rask] in there backstopping. If it wasn't for him, it would have been a lot different."
Pressed as to why the Bruins came out so flat, Thornton said: "I have no idea. My only thought is maybe it took 20 minutes for guys to get their legs underneath them after the long game [Wednesday]. But I don't want to sound like excuses, because there isn't. I have no idea why everyone wasn't ready to go right from the drop of the puck. There's no excuse for it."
Thornton said he expects a stronger start in Game 3.
"It better be," he said. "We're at home, we should be able to feed off our crowd and be ready to go for the drop of the puck. The good news is it's an 8 o'clock game [the first two games started at 7 p.m. Chicago time]. Last time we didn't show up 'til 8."
Don Cherry joined Dennis & Callahan on Monday morning, and the CBC Hockey Night in Canada analyst said he is sticking with his pick of the Bruins to win it all against the Blackhawks.
'They are going to win the Cup,' Cherry said point-blank. 'I picked Boston all the way through."
'It's funny how the Bruins can turn it on like that,' he added, referencing the Bruins seemingly flipping a switch in the middle of Game 2 Saturday night. 'It was like how it was against Toronto [in Game 7]. 'Oh, 4-1? We're going to turn it on for about 15 minutes.' And that's what they did in the overtime. If Chicago plays like they did in the overtime, it's not going to go long."
Part of that, the former Bruins coach said, was the result of the B's consistently physical play, particularly after the first period.
'A few [Blackhawks] guys are hearing footsteps '¦ and the defense gets rid of the puck early,' Cherry said. 'Instead of taking their time a little, they know guys like [Milan] Lucic are coming, that little shot's coming, and they get rid of the puck early."
Cherry acknowledged that both goalies, Tuukka Rask and Corey Crawford, have been playing superbly, and he doesn't expect any blowouts in either direction.
Cherry heaped praise on Rask in particular, even giving him the edge over Tim Thomas' performance during the Bruins' 2011 Stanley Cup run.
'Timmy Thomas did play great — I'm not putting him down — but Rask is unbelievable,' Cherry said. 'He is in a zone right now."
Cherry also spoke highly of Tyler Seguin, saying he fully expects the young forward to start producing more soon. The key is giving Seguin, in the form of ice time and confidence, the opportunity to succeed. Now that that is starting to happen again, the puck should start to fall.
'When you don't play, you're not going to be anything,' Cherry said. 'He was taken off the line when [Jaromir] Jagr came. How would I handle him? I'd play him to death. And when you play him to death, he'd come through for you.'
|Claude Julien: Tuukka Rask 'just as good' as Tim Thomas in 2011 Cup run
|06.16.13 at 3:18 pm ET
The comparison has been obvious since the second round of this Bruins playoff run.
Is Tuukka Rask as good as Tim Thomas in 2011 when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup on the strength of one of the best goaltending performances in Stanley Cup history?
In the eyes of Bruins coach Claude Julien, there's no doubt.
"I think it's just as good, no doubt," Julien said of Rask, who is now 13-5 in the playoffs, a 1.73 goals against and a .944 save percentage. All of those numbers better the performance of Thomas when he won the Conn Smythe as playoff MVP. "Tim has been a great goaltender for us. When you lose a guy like that, there's always that fear that you're not going to be able to replace him.
"Tuukka's done an outstanding job. To me, he's been as much of a contributor to our team as Tim was two years ago."
Rask gave his take on Sunday morning.
"For myself, that was the best I've ever seen, obviously," Rask said of Thomas' 16-9 record, with a 1.98 GAA and a .940 save percentage in the 2011 playoffs. "I'd never been that deep in the playoffs before and for me, as a spectator, that was the best stretch of goaltending I'd ever seen."
The only area where Thomas has Rask beat right now is in shutouts (4-2), that and a Conn Smythe trophy, for now.
Rask did admit one thing Sunday – this is the best goaltending he's played in his career.
"Probably, yeah," Rask said.

The move enables users of its open-source Open-Xchange e-mail and collaboration server to use Microsoft Outlook as the client software. The Open-Xchange alternative to the more expensive Microsoft Exchange server integrates e-mail, calendar, contact and task management with advanced groupware features, such as information management and document sharing, along with cutting-edge social-network integration. While users utilize the familiar client, the new software connector ensures seamless synchronization with Open-Xchange server in the background. The software connector supports Microsoft Outlook 2003 and 2007, as well as the 32-bit version of Outlook 2010.

The only difference between here & the frontier:
Here houses stand quiet in hills of weeks of ice
There are no houses on the frontier. A cabin or
lean-to here & there – no planned neighborhood
not on that horizon yet owned by wild beasts
I'm also struck by the houses being empty
No one is making any apparent moves
No bodies in winter wear walk the paths
they'd shoveled from front doors to car doors &
carved along roadways to the mail boxes
I haven't even seen anyone walking a dog
Has my dream of being left alone come real?
No way to tell. Some things remain beyond us, like
my slow, lingering understanding of human nature

My silent auction quilt for Selah Ranch
Well, the plan might possibly change, since there is a year to complete it.....
BUT I remembered Rebecca's (cannahavana's) quilt from several years ago. It was the Depression block, done it blues and tans. I loved it!! I will post a link to a thread with it below.
So, Rebecca, I hope you don't mind, but I am totally stealing that color combination and using the Depression block. My quilt will be larger - I think it needs to be at least full bed sized, and I may make it queen sized.
This quilt will need to have a broad appeal, and who doesn't have blues and tans, or can't make them work? I think this will work better than a more "colorful" quilt (since I have at least one friend telling me her "eyes bleed" looking at my designs).
Rebecca's blue/tan is the fourth post.
Here is a link that might be useful: Depression block quilts
I love the blue and tan Depression quilt. If you are really careful with your color placement, you can make it look almost 3D, too.
And I love colorful quilts, buy your friend some sunglasses.
Aw, thanks Mary! That is the one I made for my husband for valentine's day last year. It hangs on my quilt rack in my living room (when not in use!).
I can't wait to see pictures when you're done!
Mary - since I have at least one friend telling me her "eyes bleed" looking at my designs).....I'd take that as a huge compliment ~lol~
beverly - very funny comment "buy your friend some sunglasses". I am giving some quilts as gifts that are so very bright! Maybe I will include a pair of sunglasses with them. heehee
I enjoyed looking again at that thread about the Depression blocks. Rebecca's blue and tan quilt is one of my favorites. I agree, that is a great choice for the auction, blue and tan are very likable colors.

Two whitepapers on the Isode website (Interconnecting XMPP and IRC and Deploying IRC, Federated MUC and XMPP Guards) show how Isode's M-Link XMPP Server can be connected to and used in conjunction with chat services using IRC (Internet Relay Chat) in a range of deployment scenarios.
In order to help our customers and evaluators configure M-Link to act as an XMPP Gateway we've published a short configuration note which explains how to connect M-Link XMPP Multi-User Chatrooms to IRC Channels.
You can download the note from the documentation page on the Isode website (here's the direct link to the PDF).
One of the interesting new features in the upcoming Swift 3.0 release is support for "keyword highlighting". This allows users to setup Swift such that it'll alert them to activity that matches their configured highlighting rules. This is particularly useful where a user wants to be alerted when particular discussion topics, or keywords, are mentioned in chatrooms (highlighting rules are configured independently for private chats and chatrooms) - e.g. a Swift developer might choose to have a highlight configured to alert them when the word "Swift" is mentioned in a chatroom they watch, or a military operator may be interested in keywords such as "MEDEVAC". Highlights can either be configured to be visual (with foreground/background colour applicable per rule), or may be audible (either with the default sound, or user-provided sounds per-rule). Here a keyword highlight for "Swift" rendered with black text on a green background is shown, along with a blue-on-red highlight for "late".
As well as per-keyword highlighting rules, messages from a particular user may be subject to highlighting, e.g. the following screenshot shows a highlight configured for the Queen of Hearts's user (black on yellow).
These features will be released with Swift 3.0, and can currently be configured by selecting "Edit Highlight Rules" from the general menu in Swift.
(This post describes a currently unreleased feature, so details may change slightly before release)
ejabberd has always been a key project for Erlang.
When I talk to many of the developers that have learned Erlang in that past 10 years, they often thank us for ejabberd. "ejabberd is the main reason why I have learned Erlang".
That said, Erlang is not for everyone. Some people hate the syntax and cannot overcome their relunctance to learn it.
We already made the life of ejabberd users easier by providing YAML syntax for configuration files. YAML format is quite well know and avoided the typical mistakes make by users when editing "Erlang
tuple-atoms-and-list" syntax file. So, YAML configuration files format was received as a relief by many users.
Today, we are getting further and are making Elixir language a first class citizen for ejabberd. You can now develop any module you want in ejabberd leveraging all ejabberd API using only Elixir language.
For those who already know about Elixir, I already hear the excitement that this new feature is generating. I know, I am extremely excited myself. This change is probably the most important change in the life of ejabberd and we are already working with Elixir developer to improve on this existing implementation and boost our development community by making ejabberd development more accessible.
In turn, we are hoping to do for Elixir, what ejabberd did for Erlang in terms of recognition. For those who do not know about Elixir: This is a clean, modern programming language, created by Jose Valim, supported by hundreds of enthousiastic developers. It is inspired by Ruby syntax, with all the benefit of Erlang VM, that is clustering, lightweight processes, robustness, fault tolerance, etc.
If you do not yet know Elixir, you now have the best reason of the world to learn it :)
Here is how to start using Elixir in ejabberd today. The change are available in ejabberd master branch and will be integrated in next ejabberd official version.Prerequisite
Install Erlang R17git clone and build ejabberd with Elixir support $ git clone email@example.com:processone/ejabberd.git $ cd ejabberd $ chmod +x autogen.sh $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/my-ejabberd --enable-elixir $ make && make install
Your ejabberd is now Elixir-enabled:$ cd $HOME/my-ejabberd/ $ ./sbin/ejabberdctl live (ejabberd@localhost)1> m('Elixir.Enum'). Module 'Elixir.Enum' compiled: Date: January 24 2015, Time: 16.27 Compiler options: [debug_info] Object file: /Users/mremond/my-ejabberd/lib/ejabberd/ebin/Elixir.Enum.beam ...
ejabberdctl module has now extra options:
– iexlive: Start ejabberd and keep an Elixir command open
– iexdebug: Attach and Elixir console to an already running ejabberd
It means you can use ejabberd shell using Elixir interactive commands:$ cd $HOME/my-ejabberd/ $ ./sbin/ejabberdctl iexlive ... iex(ejabberd@localhost)1> IO.puts "Hi ejabberd + elixir" Hi ejabberd + elixir :ok ... # Creating a user: iex(ejabberd@localhost)3> :ejabberd_auth.try_register("test2", "localhost", "mypass") {:atomic, :ok}
Welcome to the revolution !Writing ejabberd plugins in Elixir
You can now write plugins in Elixir and register hooks to expand ejabberd features in Elixir.
ejabberd lib directory is the place where you put your Elixir file so that the build chain knows how to compile them.
In ejabberd lib/ directory, add the file mod_presence_demo.ex:defmodule ModPresenceDemo do @behaviour :gen_mod def start(_host, _opts) do :ok end def stop(_host) do :ok end end
This is the smallest possible ejabberd module. We ignore the host and
the options for now.
When you type make your module should build properly.
When doing make install, it should install properly the newly created
You can now use it in ejabberd configuration file ejabberd.yml. Just
add this line in the module section:
As you see, you can directly use the Elixir module name. ejabberd can
detect this is an Elixir module and use it appropriately.
Let's expand a bit on this module:defmodule ModPresenceDemo do import Ejabberd.Logger # this allow using info, error, etc for logging @behaviour :gen_mod def start(host, _opts) do info('Starting ejabberd module Presence Demo') Ejabberd.Hooks.add(:set_presence_hook, host, __ENV__.module, :on_presence, 50) :ok end def stop(host) do info('Stopping ejabberd module Presence Demo') Ejabberd.Hooks.delete(:set_presence_hook, host, __ENV__.module, :on_presence, 50) :ok end def on_presence(user, _server, _resource, _packet) do info('Receive presence for #{user}') :none end end
When you launch ejabberd with that new module, you should see the following line in the log file (or console if running live):15:17:58.913 [info] Starting ejabberd module Presence Demo test
And anytime an XMPP client changes its presence, you should see the following in the log file:15:30:01.266 [info] Receive presence for test
We are in the process of revamping our developer documentation to help both Erlang and Elixir developer get up to speed on ejabberd module development. You can expect follow up articles how how to get further
developing ejabberd with the power of Elixir.
In the meantime, all the ejabberd community is very glad to help get your started with ejabberd development using Elixir.
Please, join ejabberd mailing list or join the ejabberd chat room on XMPP (email@example.com)
We are all eager to see what great ejabberd extension you are going to build with Elixir.
Michael Weibel explains at SeaBeyond conference how Mila enabled their online platform for professionals with realtime messaging features with ejabberd.
Mickaël Rémond presents ProcessOne past product development and explains how it fits into a consistent long term vision about ejabberd, XMPP, push, mobile and realtime messaging in general.
For ejabberd, focus is on two areas:
– ejabberd Community continuous improvements and accelerating the collaboration with existing communities.
– ejabberd SaaS turn key solution for robust, possibly massive scale, cost effective, no hassle deployments.
For Boxcar, we will be focusing on developers, offering new services relating to push and bridging with our XMPP / ejabberd skills and toolset:
– Widgets and watches support
– Analytics
– Ability to chat from a push notification
Here is the full ProcessOne roadmap talk, putting our development effort into perspective:
Enjoy !
The Ignite Realtime Community is pleased to announce the 1.0.0 release of the REST API plugin for Openfire. This plugin is being developed by community member Redeyes. This plugin merges and replaces the functionality found in the "MUC Service Plugin" and the REST functionality found in the "User Service Plugin". This new plugin allows for REST style administration of Openfire.
The current feature list, taken from the README file includes:
Please report any issues or feature ideas for this plugin in the Community Forums.
I'd like to thank everyone at FOSDEM 2015 and XMPP Summit for such a nice time and interesting talks. I sure haven't talk to all people at the XMPP Summit, but hope that we'll meet again soon. You can find my slides of my lightning talk "XMPP and Android" at http://geekplace.eu/files/xmpp_and_android.pdf
While travelling home from Brussels in the ICE, I was able to prepare and upload beta2 of Smack 4.1. Please update your build setups and report any issues in the forum.
Mickaël Rémond shows how Boxcar Developer platform is going to merge push notifications and mobile widget state display into a single consistent platform.
He then explains how this feature can directly support both Android Wear and Apple Watch.
Enjoy !
Mickaël Rémond introduces how push and XMPP chat can work together to build a seamless, mobile only chat support service.
Chat support on mobile is a powerful way to engage with your true mobile users and have a real conversation with them.
This platform leverages two core skills of ProcessOne: XMPP and Push expertise.
"Why should I use XMPP?" is a question we get asked a lot. Our answer is often technically-focussed, as there are plenty of reasons XMPP might be the right choice, or we might explain about the benefits of a federated approach – where everyone can run their own server and control their own data. Either way, the fact it is an 'open standard' never ceases to be mentioned.
Open standards have many advantages over proprietary formats (too many to list in one blog post) but one in particular is that it gives you the choices and control about how you access your data and services.
For example (get ready for the analogies) imagine you are an individual accessing someone else's XMPP service. Because XMPP is built on open standards, you get to choose what applications you use to connect to their system; for example, a mobile phone provider does not mandate that to use their services you must use a specific handset – the choice is yours). Your provider may have one that they prefer, or offer, but there are myriad other XMPP applications – the choice remains yours and you can make that choice based on your individual preferences and requirements.
Even better, if a new project implements a better XMPP client than the one you are currently using, firstly, that project is able to do so, and secondly – you are free to start using it! Back to our phone analogy, imagine if a new mobile handset came out that was even better than the one you had chosen, and you could just pop your sim card out of the old phone and straight into the new one… no hassle, but a much better service for you.
And if you have particular needs not being met by existing clients, you are freely able to implement your own or to extend any of the open source options to meet those requirements. The power is all yours.
This is a critically important difference between open standards (like XMPP) and access to proprietary systems – if you use a proprietary system, the operator is in control of how you access the service; and on a whim they could choose to shut down your choice of third-party clients. Using our phone analogy, this is like your mobile service provider controlling which handsets you can use, and on a whim deciding that they have 1 choice and only than handset can be used from now on. In this situation you might find yourself unable to access your data in a useful way. A proprietary system may also release a new version of the client that you don't like or that doesn't run on your systems; if they force upgrades you may no longer be able to access the systems or your data. As you can see, the choice isn't really yours.
Alternatively, imagine you are an organisation running an internal service. You might choose to use a cloud provider, in which case the advantages of choosing a vendor using open standards is the same as above. You might also want to apply organisational policies to your internal service; here again, open standards like XMPP are a good choice. They ensure that you can choose the client you need, not the client the vendor of a proprietary system wants you to use. An open-standards system even ensures (with the ability to export your data) the option to migrate from one server provider to another using mechanisms defined for XMPP servers. When its your systems, it should be your choice.
These advantages also apply to third-party developers – developing for XMPP gives you a level playing field and you're free to implement your client, server, library, or component according to the standards; you don't run the risk of being locked out of the systems for which you're developing, either by unpublished protocol changes or by legal action. And if you think the protocols can be better, you can even contribute to the open standards process and make improvements you need.
Using open standards matters whenever your choices are important to you, be it today or tomorrow. And that is why you should use XMPP.
In this Boxcar Developer Push Workshop, Mickaël Rémond explains how to integrate mobile push notifications using Boxcar Developer Platform.
Boxcar Platform covers Apple, Google and Amazon push.
Some thinking on how we are approaching 2015.More Incremental Advances
In 2012 we set our sights on designing the best way to build messaging
Today Buddycloud is being added to more and more apps customers apps. This is good. But not good enough: in 2015 we're doubling down on making incremental changes to the Buddycloud-stack that help with reliability and scalability.
We'll also be spending more time on the open specification process that powers Buddycloud so that others can build their own messaging products.Stay Lean and Flexible
We're fortunate to have a revenue stream from existing Buddycloud customers. And we're humbled by their trust in our open communication mission.
Each Buddycloud customer has slightly different needs. And this is helping us make sure we keep the Buddycloud stack flexible enough to cover general use cases.Improve on Our Competition
Yes, there are other messaging systems out there.
But we notice developers want something that does what it says it will do. Reliably. And with the added benefit of being able to run on-premises and federate with other sites. No other commercial messaging stacks do this.Focus on Product Not Sales
We're a tech team that sees our engineering selling itself - weekend hacking projects becoming enterprise messaging systems.
Boring unsexy, no big launch parties, self funded. And no sales team, just good product selling itself with word-of-mouth.
And that's our plan for 2015.
Sébastien Luquet introduces our prototype for geolocalized push notifications with Boxcar Beacon. The prototype has been built on top of Estimote beacons.
Talk is followed by a live demo.
It's a week until the XMPP Summit in Brussels, which I won't be able to attend. However, I do have some thoughts about two of the subjects that are on the agenda that I wanted to share.
Carbons/MAM and e2e-encryption seem to be moving in two completely opposite directions: MAM wants to store messages server-side, while e2e protocols like OTR want to ensure those stored messages are useless. But I don't think they'd have to be mutually exclusive. I think it would be possible to find a solution that unifies the two concepts.Background
Many chat services nowadays offer synchronizing the most recent messages between all devices. Given the choice between something that is more secure and something that does synchronize, I fear many people will choose the convenience of synchronization.
So far, everything that I've looked at fails on at least one of the following:
With Carbons/MAM you get 1, but if you turn on OTR, you only get 2 and 3. I could go into detail about a number of other services, but the bottom line is: nothing currently offers all 3. Yet I still think it is possible to make a protocol that does. TextSecure does seem to be working on it, but as far as I know, it's not possible yet.Goals
Lets make it a little bit more clear what it is that I think we should aim to achieve:
I prefer an easy to use over a maximally secure solution: I want users with no idea of what e2e encryption is or why they would want it to be using this opportunistically, without being bothered by it. There are enough ways to achieve good security for people who know what they're doing, I want to give a (lower) level of security to everyone. For example, manually copying a private key to all your devices is not an acceptable solution. Of course this means the server can tamper with the encrypted chats, but I'd rather have a protocol where the server needs to actively tamper with communications than something where the server can quietly log everything.Proposal
The following is just an incomplete suggestion of how this could be implemented:
Why Axolotl, and not OTR?
Axolotl handles sending messages to offline devices better and the cryptographic primitives used are more modern.
Why not draft-miller-xmpp-e2e?
Of course this is still far from a concrete specification, but I am convinced it is possible to do. Instead of half the XMPP world working on history synchronization and the other half working on breaking that, lets look for a unified solution.
Hey everyone,
Since I took on the role of Openfire project lead, the Openfire developers have been working amazingly hard across almost every part of the server's code, with a view to making a new release we can all be really proud of.
After a huge amount of work, the Openfire team is really excited to announce we've reached a beta state with the 3.10.0 release, available from http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads/beta.jsp
This release aims to improve security and stability over the current 3.9.3 stable release, provides a set of important new protocol extensions, and modernizes the XMPP core protocol support - in short, this is going to be the release we wanted to make.
While this is a beta release, we're not recommending it for critical production use; however this is running on igniterealtime.org itself and developer sites, and we'd appreciate people trying it out in non-critical production cases.
We're hoping it'll reach full release rapidly, and we'll be welcoming experiences of anyone deploying so we can add that last polish. Having dealt with the last remaining blocking bug, we're expecting this to move to a final stable release within a week or two.

Avoid the restaurants in San Telmo that host indoor tango shows. I witnessed a group of Americans getting ripped off by the most prominent of the places (sorry, I can't rememember the name but it's a two-story joint on the corner of the square). They had just ordered drinks without asking for the price and were outraged to find out they had been charged hundreds of dollars for drinks only. They were also charged $90 for a tango show that they had only seen a few minutes of. They argued for a while with the waiters and a hostile manager and then threw some bills in his face and fled the scene. I snuck out shortly thereafter without ordering anything. Lesson - check the menu first for drink prices before ordering!

Taxis in Buenos Aires are a lucrative business for the unknowing tourist. It is best to organise a 'Remise Taxi' once you arrive at the airport. And be sure to take one of their cards so you can use that company throughout your stay. If you hail taxis from the street, it can be both very dangerous and a total rip-off. Especially for female and non Spanish-speaking travellers. And now with Argentinas financial crisis, people are even more desperate. So remember, always order a Remise Taxi.

This obelisk stands in the middle of Av. 9 de Julio. it is said to be the broadest avenue in the world. It may be true but it is actually not very attractive. The obelisque itself is also quite ordinay when you approach it. Anyway, you should at least go and visit the impressive Teatro Colón, one of the most reputated theaters in the world.

Brrrr... those corporate monsters are everywhere. The BEST STEAK IN THE WORLD CAN BE FOUND in Buenos Aires!! However this corporate monster with its phoney, sickenig, fast food had nerve to appear even there. What can you say, McD entered Paris as well... arghhh...
La boca is the signature of...
La boca is the signature of Buenos Aires, so suggested as no guidebook dares to be published without a picture of La Boca. It only cost me 15 pesos to get there and back while the hotel driver waited while I did the touristy things like take photos and browse the many trinkletts and local crafts on sale. As La Boca is the neighbourhood do specify that you want to visit the 'Caminito' street the only colorful part. When I got there I had the same reaction to when I first saw the the Mona Lisa in the Lourve ...'IS THIS IT'? The colorful street runs no more than 100 metres. It was said that the reason for the color was that this poor neighboorhood (still poor) could not afford paints and used leftovers from the shipbuilding yard nearby. Colorful as the leftovers were not sufficient to complete a single wall let alone the complete unit. If you miss La Boca on your short trip to BA don't feel too bad, my photo has shown you the best part. People have warned me about small stores giving tourist the incorrect amount of change. I did not encounter this but best to beware anyway.
Arrival: It´s a real shame....
Arrival: It´s a real shame. The tourist doesn´t have a single cheap choice. Anyway It´ll cost you U$S 30 just to get out of the airport.
Please, get very informed before you travel. It isn´t Europe, it´s a very big city and a very bad signed one.
Arrive with a place to stay
If you´ve got a doubt call me 54-11-4760-4826
A little English, A little Italian and of course Spanish.
Do not visit restaurants in "La Boca"
Most of the restaurants are expensive and the food is not worth it!! Be careful...
One example will be "Los Gitanos" (see photo)

Tango Dancers
I couldn't resist this one. In La Boca, there are several Tango Dancers on the main square. For a few pesos tip, you can pose with them... Cheesy, I know....

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"Your generosity ... not only provides for the needs of God's people, but also produces prayers of thanksgiving to God." (2 Corinthians 9:12)
When we're generous with each other, we thank God for each other and we're drawn closer to each other.
One of my friends learned the connection between generosity and community when one of his neighbors came by to borrow a ladder. A few weeks later, my friend discovered his neighbor already had a ladder, but the neighbor borrowed one as a way of building a relationship.
My friend said, "When my neighbor borrowed my stuff, it made me feel like I was needed, and I liked that feeling. Now I do the same thing with other neighbors. For instance, my neighbor, Roger, has a Shop Vac, and I borrow it every Friday to clean my car. Roger even leaves it out for me on Fridays. I told Roger the other day that I could buy my own Shop Vac, but I liked the interaction with him. He told me not to buy one because he liked the interaction, too."
The Bible says, "Your heart will be wherever your treasure is." (Matthew 6:21) Wherever I put my time, my money, my effort, my energy, wherever I invest myself - that's what's going to attract me.
For some of you, your heart may be in your home. That's where you're putting your time, your money, and your energy - fixing it up. Or your heart may be in your work. That's where you're putting your time, your money and your energy. Or it may be in a hobby. That's where you're putting your time, your money and your energy. Wherever your treasure is, your heart's going to be there.
So, when I'm generous with you or with the poor or with anybody, that's where my heart tends to go. And every time I give to God, it draws my heart closer to God, and every time I give to you, it draws my heart closer to you. Giving or generosity creates community.
The first Christians were famous for their generosity. "The community of believers... shared everything in common." (Acts 4: 32) They were a family; they shared it all: 'What's mine is yours, and you can share it with me.' It was voluntary. Christianity says, "What's mine is yours and you can share it with me."
When you're a parent, and you have little kids in your home, you enjoy watching them share with each other? When you see that your kids are unselfish, you're very happy with that.
And God is the same way.
When God looks down on us and He sees us being generous with each other He says, "That's My boy! That's My girl! They're doing what I want them to do." Because God is generous, and He wants us to become like Him.
Are heaven and hell real places and what are they like? How can you be absolutely certain you'll spend eternity in heaven? To answer these questions and more, Pastor Rick put together an audio series called, Eternal Realities: Heaven and Hell.
This is a great series to share with people you know who may not realize the eternal significance of their earthly decisions. You'll want to have this inspired teaching collection in your library of Christian resources. Also, as a special bonus, we've added all of the messages from The Hope of Easter. This includes a teaching called, The Answer is Easter which is perhaps the most personal, the most powerful, and the most encouraging message that Pastor Rick has ever shared.

Phoenix Suns
Suns GM Ryan McDonough confident team will find talent regardless of draft position
The Phoenix Suns are right on the cusp of returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2010.
While it would be an accomplishment way ahead of schedule, it would also greatly affect the Suns' position in the first round of June's NBA Draft. If the season ended today with the Suns out of the playoffs, Phoenix would have the 14th overall draft pick and a 1.8 percent chance of landing in the top three.
"If we do make the playoffs as the eighth seed in the Western Conference, we'd be picking around 21st because all the Eastern Conference playoff teams -- I think probably the third through the eighth seeds in the East -- will have worse records than the eighth seed in the West," Suns general manager Ryan McDonough told Burns and Gambo Wednesday on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM.
That gap in draft position isn't enough to sway the Suns from their stated goal of qualifying for the postseason, however.
"It's significant, but the good news for us is we have other picks as well. We're not reliant only on our own pick," McDonough said. "We have Washington's pick, which is currently slotted in the 17 or 18 range. Indiana, with their struggles lately, their pick has improved a little bit -- around 26th or 27th.
"We have other picks, we could package a couple of those and move up some, but I'm not going to sit here and say that there isn't a significant difference between picking 14th and picking 21st."
As wide as the seven-spot gap may prove to be in finding talent on draft day, McDonough is confident that he and his staff will still get help late in the first round.
"I was fortunate enough to work for a great GM in Danny Ainge in Boston and we had great success outside the lottery picking Rajon Rondo with the 21st pick in 2006, we picked Al Jefferson with the 15th pick one year and those guys are All-Stars, or in Al's case, right there on the cusp of it," McDonough said.
"I feel confident in our ability to do something like that here -- I'm not saying we'll draft an All-Star -- but I don't think we necessarily need the crutch of being in the top three to five to come up with a good player. I think we can do that wherever we land in the draft."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Koch family (/ˈkoʊk/ KOKE) of industrialists and businesspeople is most notable for its control of Koch Industries, the second largest privately owned company in the United States (with 2013 revenues of $115 billion).[1] The family business was started by Fred C. Koch, who developed a new cracking method for the refinement of heavy oil into gasoline.[2][3] Fred's four sons litigated against each other over their interests in the business during the 1980s and 1990s.[4]
Charles G. Koch and David H. Koch — the two brothers still with Koch Industries — are affiliated with the Koch family foundations.[5]
The Koch family foundations are a related group of non-profit organizations that began with the establishment of the Fred and Mary Koch Foundation in 1953, and now includes the Charles Koch Foundation, the David H. Koch Charitable Foundation and the Koch Cultural Trust. The organizations collectively have a stated goal of "advancing liberty and freedom" through the support of various causes which "further social progress and sustainable prosperity."[11] In addition to the direct action of the non-profits, the groups have also contributed financially to other philanthropic organizations in the fields of research, public well-being, arts, and education, including contributions to scholarship programs, university support, and loan assistance through organizations like the United Negro College Fund.[12]
Members of the Koch family have given to conservative and libertarian policy and advocacy groups in the United States,[13] including think tanks like the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute, and more recently Americans for Prosperity.[14]
Americans for Prosperity, founded by David Koch, is one of the main nonprofit groups assisting the Tea Party movement, according to Kenneth Vogel of Politico. In 2010 Melissa Cohlmia, a Koch spokeswoman, distanced the Kochs from the tea parties and FreedomWorks saying that "no funding has been provided by Koch companies, the Koch foundations, Charles Koch or David Koch specifically to support the tea parties."[15]
According to the Koch Family Foundations and Philanthropy website, "the foundations and the individual giving of Koch family members" have financially supported organizations "fostering entrepreneurship, education, human services, at-risk youth, arts and culture, and medical research."[16]
[W]hen he tried to market his invention, the major oil companies sued him for patent infringement. Koch eventually won the lawsuits (after 15 years in court), but the controversy made it tough to attract many US customers.
Founding member (1958) John Birch Society — reportedly after seeing Russian friends liquidated
In 1929 Koch took his process to the Soviet Union, but he grew disenchanted with Stalinism and returned home to become a founding member of the anticommunist John Birch Society.
He returned a fervent anti-Communist who would later become a founding member of the John Birch Society.

Knitting to Support our Troops
I just got the Lion Brand e-newsletter and there's an article about helmetliners for our troops over in the Middle East. They can be knitted or crocheted. Wool is the preferred textile and they don't look too difficult to do. They do give you specific colors to use. Might be something you could work on in between your other projects. I'm going to try to do some; my nephew was just deployed to Kuwait last week.
Kelona, I got the e-newsletter, too and very much want to participate. I certainly understand the necessity of using a natural fiber. First and foremost is warmth. Secondly, acrylic would melt in intense heat and put our brave soldiers in even more danger. On another forum, some have said that they are allergic to wool and have been using acrylic anyway. Please don't ignore the specifics of the request.
But I do have a question. 100% wool (unless it is superwash) will felt if machine washed. It will also felt if it is hand washed vigourously, won't it? The Lion Wool recommended is not superwash, though. Is this not a problem? I was thinking that I would need to buy superwashed wool, which is much harder to get in my neck of the woods. Any thoughts?
I read this article too. Americans have such wonderful groups and organizations that make and donate incredibly useful items for thier soldiers. Does anyone know of a Canadian connection?? I've gone so far as to emailing my request to the #2 Man at the Canada's Military...that was over a month ago and I've never had an answer...not that I'm surprised...they are "kind of busy". I have often heard that if you just write or send something without a specific receiver's name on it, it will get destroyed for fear of tampering etc. ANy ideas or suggestions or proper mailing addresses that we could send things to. I know that they would have to be made to specs (as the Americans do).
They do realize that the guys over there get to wash their BDUs like... once every week or so, right? And that when they do, they just chuck everything in a washer....
And, I hate to say it, but most of the stuff that gets sent over there from places that mean to do well, gets tossed or stolen. There's a huge security risk with anonymous donations and most guys don't WANT it.
I don't want to be rude or sound like I don't support the guys (because believe me, I do!), but I don't want people to waste their time on something that's not going to be used.
What the guys want is DECENT FOOD, not helmet liners.
~ Kit
I also thought this might be a good idea. Our college just received a large grant to support educational advisement for returning vets. I also have two currently in my class who returned last year. I'll ask them if they know anything about bulk donations of handmade helmet liners. I'm thinking with all the security issues it may need to be coordinated with a known soldier. I'll let you know if I find out anything useful.
There is a helmet liner website: http://www.geocities.com/helmetliner/
They will collect and mail them. As far as food and other necessities, Operation Shoebox will collect items and mail them. They have a list on their website and I printed it out and took it with me when I went shopping. It made it so easy - just up and down the aisles at Walmart!
My nephew is stationed over in Iraq and I put together 2 boxes to send to him a couple weeks ago. If you want to send items to Operation Shoebox or Helmetliner or to someone stationed overseas, go to the post office and get their "Flat Rate" "Priority" box. The box is free; however, you can put as much into it as you can possibly fit - weight is not an issue - and all it costs to mail it is $8.95. One of the boxes I sent was over 7 lbs. and it only cost me $8.95. It's not a huge box, but it'll hold a lot if you pack it right.
Kickypants ~ check out http://www.redfridays.ca/ for supporting the Canadian troops. I hope this will help you.
Kelona, I know about the helmetliner website. That's where I got the pattern. But our question is still unanswered as to whether this is just somebodies idea of what to do to be helpful, or if this is really what the soldiers will need/use.
Thanks for the Operation Shoebox idea. I'll check it out.
My husband is an OIF veteran. He was there from Feb. '04- Jan. '05.
He's never complained about his helmet.
Kit, He did wash is clothes like once a week, chucking everything in the wash!
He and his troop WERE so suprised by the outpouring of donations from the US public, but often times they were also overwhelmed by the AMOUNT of things given! He told me that they had a room in the barracks that had boxes separating things like soaps, and shampoos and such. You just went in there and got what you need, but he also said that all of that stuff was available at the PX anyway.
Now a helmet liner might be preferred by some, not by others, but at least it is something that they can take out into the field with them without feeling like they are luging around something extra.
I never had even heard of the helmet liners being made for "our boys" until he came home from Iraq. I will ask him what he thinks, or knows about this program.
I'm all for "spoiling" our troops, anything to make them feel appriciated. It is truly a miserable existance being an OIF soldier. A woman in the quilting forum was making quilts for those recovering from wounds in the hospitals over there. How nice it is for a soldier to recieve something so wonderful from home, just to let them know that they are not forgotten.
BTW: Kit, the item my husband most requested was FOOD! I sent him groceries every other week!
Talked to DH while making supper tonight. He said that the new helmets that they issue do not even use liners. He said that they are more lightweight and just use padding like a bike helmet. So I don't know if those liners are even wanted anymore.
Jackie -
My brother was there from Oct 04-Dec 05 as well. He said that anything they got from someone they didn't know got tossed.
When he came home, we put a huuuuge sign in our from home that said "WELCOME HOME, SGT" and ribbons all over the place. Four or five people stopped in to say "thanks!" and "what can we send these guys to show our support?" My brother told everyone "Offer your services at home to their families." One of the guys that he was over there with had thirteen children, with another one born while he was there (farm family, up on the Iron Range), and his wife couldn't do it all. Guy was a stay-at-home dad, and his wife is a doctor, but they couldn't afford babysitting while she was at work, so she had to quit her job.
I sent my bro food once a week, I think. The guys in the post office would ask me every week "when's he get home?" or "what are you sending this time?" I sent mostly stuff like chex mix, banana peppers in jars (weird brother missed those most of all...), peanuts and homemade cookies. He shared it with all the guys, because everyone hated the fried food they got.

I also spoke with a few of my current students who served. They did not use helmet liners (or any of their buddies) and agreed that if received from an unknown, did not use anything but tossed it. One mentioned that his mom knitted some socks and he used those. They suggested if we wanted to do this anyway, we should identify someone we knew who would distribute them to those who wanted them. But after reading Jackie's post about the new helmets, perhaps this is a wasted effort.
