(CBS News/WBEN) President Obama on Monday announcing push to extend the so-called Bush-era tax cuts for low and middle-income Americans, but he will continue to fight for the cuts to expire on Jan. 1 for people earning more than $250,000.
Obama today urged lawmakers to extend the cuts for those making less than that amount, instead of holding them "hostage," as he put it, to the continuing debate over extending tax cuts for wealthier Americans. As he spoke at the White House, he was flanked by a dozen people the White House said would benefit from the extension of the cut for middle-class Americans.
Republicans are rejecting his call for a partial extension. Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell says, "No one should see an income tax hike next year."
Mitt Romney also supports extending the cuts for all income earners. A spokeswoman for Romney's campaign says Obama's plan to let the cuts expire for the highest earners amounts to a "massive tax increase."
Democrats see the tax debate as part of a larger coordinated attack on Romney -- including calls for him to explain offshore bank accounts and release several years of tax returns.
Romney's people say the Democratic attacks on Romney's wealth are an "unfounded character assault."
The White House says if Congress sends him a bill to extend tax cuts for everyone -- even households making more than $250,000 a year -- President Obama wouldn't sign it.
In reaction, Congresswoman Kathy Hochul says she's spoken with Western New Yorkers who want that certainty in their incomes.
"For the average family in this district, that $2,600 based on 2010 figures. That's a tank of gas a week. That's a lot of money. That's two months worth of mortgage payments for some people," says Hochul, the incumbent Democrat in the race for the new 27th congressional district.
Her opponent, Republican challenger Chris Collins, says the economy can't afford any tax increases -- even on the highest earners, including small business owners who are taxed at individual rates.
"I think that's common sense, and I continue to be disappointed in President Obama, as well as Representative Hochul, for wanting to raise taxes," Collins says.
Collins also says the economy needs jobs, and raising taxes on the job creators is going to prevent businesses from adding to their payrolls.
Hochul also indicated she disagreed with the income figure in the Obama proposal, believing the tax cuts should end for those earning a dollar figure higher than $250,000. She suggested it should be $500,000 or even higher, saying she's concerned about how it could affect small businesses in Western New York.
On Sunday, Robert Gibbs, a senior Obama campaign official, said the president was "100 percent committed" to allowing some Bush-era tax cuts to expire, reports CBSNews.com's Leigh Ann Caldwell.
Gibbs also hinted at the announcement Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."
The series of tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 during George W. Bush's presidency, and later extended, are set to expire at the end of this year, explains Caldwell. In 2010, President Obama agreed to a two-year extension, but Gibbs gave on Sunday the first insight into the campaign's plan to block another extension for couples making more than $250,000.

"We should protect the tax cuts for the middle-class, and we should let tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires expire," Gibbs told host Candy Crowley. "We have tried these different philosophies before; we know what tax breaks and tax cuts for the wealthy and [taking] financial regulations off of Wall Street mean. They mean economic calamity, they mean what we are dealing with now, versus a vision where we add jobs and build out the middle-class.
"Let's make some progress on our spending by doing away with tax cuts for people who quite frankly don't need them . . . and have them pay their fair share."
CBS Radio News White House correspondent Mark Knoller says the Obama campaign will try to amplify the President's message on middle class tax cuts with a series of campaign trail events in battleground states this week.
The events will include public discussions in Concord, New Hampshire, Las Vegas, Nevada, Aspen, Colorado and Tampa, Florida.

I think Accordance did a great thing in version 10 when it linked all the different windows, zones, etc., into a united interface. I would like to request that the same thing be done with the editor window for user notes. It's true that i can presently configure my user notes as a fixed pane or zone within a given workspace. However, every time I want to edit or add to my user notes, a separate window appears. And the moment I move from the new user note window to the workspace, the former disappears behind the workspace. Consequently, I can't see them both together unless I shrink my workspace. This is a problem as I normally need to see the data in my workspace as I'm typing my user notes. Using Expose to toggle back and forth from one to the other doesn't cut it.
I'm trying hard to wean myself from Bibleworks and adapt to Accordance as my primary platform. But this is one of Accordance's weaknesses in my opinion. Not only does it limit the characters per verse to 13K, which I view as unnecessary and which BW doesn't do, but it doesn't allow for user note editing within the fixed pane or zone that's part of the unified workspace. BW is superior in this regard.
I would like to request that Accordance improve the user note feature in new updates.

So, the delivery pizzas end up with a higher total score than the freezer pies, but not by much. So where do we look for a winner? If you consider price, and who doesn't in this economy, the clear choice is a frozen offering. The average medium "specialty" pie from a delivery joint runs $12 to $14, plus a delivery charge and driver tip. For that, you can often get two of the frozen pies.

7 shootings in one month
Updated: November 26, 2012
There have been seven shootings, just in the past month. Now police are reaching out for help.
"I cried," Barbara Thomas said.
Thomas was at home when she heard gunshots. She went outside and found bullet holes all over.
"I've never experienced that before. Ever. In my life," Thomas said.
That same day another shooting happened on Carver Street.
Days earlier a man was shot at on East Church Street. On the same day, 2 other shootings.
It doesn't end there. Shots were fired on Third Street last month and on Fourth Street just a few days ago.
It's a lot to take in for Everett Barnerd.
"Every now and then things happen, but things happen everywhere." Barnerd said.
He says he's standing by his neighborhood. Barnerd has lived there since 1995. He hopes all of the violence catches the attention of police and they come around more often.
"Sometimes I feel neglected by them." Barnerd said.
Police have been thoroughly investigating these neighborhoods and made a few arrests. But most of the people who live in these neighborhoods agree. The change has to happen and the violence has to stop.
Police are still investigating all of these shootings. If you know anything about these incidents, call Crime Stoppers at 373-TIPS. You can remain completely anonymous and help to keep neighborhoods a little safer.

I recently had a TeX itch to scratch: I am working on a paper that has several multi-line continued equalities¹ where, depending on the size of the expressions and the explanations of each step, I chose among a few layouts. But implementing the layout together with the actual code was inefficient, as switching the layout involved changing every line.
So I came up with the package conteq which allows you to typeset continued equations in a simple declarative manner, e.g.
\begin{conteq} e^{\pi\cdot i} \\ = -1 & Euler's formula \\ < 0 & this is an inequality \\ < \sqrt 3 \\ = \int e^{-x^2} dx & this is due to Gauss. \end{conteq}
and allows you to select the layout via an parameter to the environment, or globally, or either. Also, the styling of the explanations (italics? wrapped in {...}?) can be configured simply by redefining a macro. For more details and an overview of the various styles, check out the package documentation.
If this sounds useful to you, fetch the conteq package from CTAN. But beware: It uses quite current features of the expl3 package, so you need at least the version from 2012/07/02 (TeXLive 2013 is good). You can file bug reports at the GitHub mirror of my git repository.
I'd like to thank Bruno Le Floch and Joseph Wright, who made me aware of expl3 on various TeX Exchange questions.
¹ I haven't heard of this term before, but supposedly it is the right translation for the German word "Gleichungskette".
There was an interesting question by 'Fool' recently on the StackExchange site for Boardgames: How do you play a game like Rock-Paper-Scissors with friends online? Or any other game where players have to simultaneously submit their moves (e.g. Diplomacy, or Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizzard-Spock), which, as I just learned, are simultaneous action selection games. While there are websites dedicated to playing specific games, such as webdiplomacy.net, we could not find a generic one that you can use if you, for example, invent your own variants of a game.
So I created one: At you-say-first.nomeata.de you can enter rooms and share the URL with your friends. On the one hand, you have a regular chat room there. But there is also the possibility to enter moves (whatever a move may be to you) and only when all players have done that and marked the move as final, it is shown to everyone. If you want to try it out: There is an integrated, not very fancy Rock-Paper-Scissors-playing bot. Just enter a room, join and say "I want to play!"
Note that this site can be used for more than just for games. Have you ever observed that persons would often want other to express their preference (e.g. where to dine) first to not reveal their own preference, so that they can (or pretend to) change their mind if they would contradict? In such situations simultaneous action selection can be a fairer method.
By now, Debian ships quite a lot of Haskell packages (~600). Because of GHC's ABI volatility, whenever we upload a new version of a library, we have to rebuild all libraries that depend on that. In particular, if we upload a new version of the compiler itself, we have to rebuild all Haskell library packages. So we have to rebuild stuff a lot. Luckily, Debian has a decent autobuilding setup so that I just need to tell it what to rebuild, and the rest happens automatically (including figuring out the actual order to build things).
I was curious how much we use the buildd system compared to other packages, and also how long the builders are busy building Haskell packages. All the data is in a postgresql database on buildd.debian.org, so with some python and javascript code, I can visualize this. The graphs show the number of all uploads by autobuilder on the amd64 architecture, with haskell uploads specially marked, and the second graph does the same for the build time. You can select time ranges and get aggregate statistics for that time span.
During the last four days a complete rebuild was happening, due to the upload of GHC 7.6.3. During these 2 days and 18 hours building 537 packages took 48 hours of build time and produced 15kg of CO2. That is 94% of all uploads and 91% the total build time. The numbers are lower for the whole of last year: 52% of uploads, 31% of build time and 57kg of CO2. (The CO2 numbers are very rough estimates.)
Note that amd64 is a bit special, as most packages are uploaded on this architecture by the developers, so no automatic builds are happening. On other architectures have, every upload of a (arch:any) package is built, so the share of Haskell packages will be lower. Unfortunately, at the moment the database does not provide me with a table across all architectures (and I was too lazy to make it configurable yet).
I have just uploaded a new version of ghc-heap-view to Hackage that provides "Evaluation state assertions" in the module GHC.AssertNF.
Imagine you are writing a web application in Haskell that sports a global number-of-visitors counter in an IORef Int. For every request, you call modifyIORef (+1). Eventually, you notice your very popular web site to hog more and more memory. So you browse to the internal page that shows the counter, and you have to wait for a long time until you eventually see the result (or get a stack overflow). The reason: The applications of (+1) were not performed until you looked at the number; instead, a long chain of such computation first filled your heap and then your stack.
So you have learned the hard way that you might want to avoid space leaks, and want calculations to be done during the request that caused them, and want the IORef to always contain fully evaluated data. So you stumble about modifyIORef' in Data.IORef and indeed, this fixes your problem.
Later, you notice that you want to count POST and GET requests separately. You change the type to IORef (Int, Int) and call modifyIORef' (first (+1)) or modifyIORef' (second (+1)). And suddenly, the space leak is back (which you only notice after the next push to the real site, because your local tests never caused enough requests to make it noticeable). So you not only want to fix it, you also want to ensure that it does not break again.
In other words, you want to ensure the policy that values stored in an IORef are always in normal form. You achieve this with the following alternative to modifyIORef':
modifyIORef'Assert :: IORef a -> (a -> a) -> IO () modifyIORef'Assert ref f = do x <- readIORef ref let x' = f x x' `seq` return () assertNF x' writeIORef ref x'
Using this instead of modifyIORef' will print this warning to standard error output right the first time you call modifyIORef'Assert (first (+1)):
Parameter not in normal form: 2 thunks found: let x1 = (S# 1,S# 1) in _bh (_thunk x1 (_bco (S# 1)),_sel x1)
(Otherwise, the program runs as usual.) So obviously, you need to use a strict variant of first (or strict pairs):
first' :: (a -> b) -> (a, c) -> (b, c) first' f (x,y) = let { x' = f x; r = (x', y) } in x' `seq` r `seq` r
With this, the warning goes away. Whenever you now change the type of the IORef or modify it in a too-lazy-way, you can be sure that you'll be warned about it, before the space leak itself becomes noticeable.
In the production code, you might want to disable the check. For that, simply put disableAssertNF somewhere in your main function.
Why is this better than just calling deepseq in modifyIORef'Assert? Because this way, the code still creates unwanted thunks that are then evaluated before storing them in the IORef, whereas with assertNF you are told about the thunks and can prevent them from being created in the first place. Also, assertNF does not add a type class constraint.
This is just one example application for assertNF (and its variants assertNFNamed, which includes a name in the warning to better spot the cause, and $assertNFHere, which uses Template Haskell to include the current source code position in the warning), and I hope that there are more. If you happen to make use of it, I'd like to hear your story.
Earlier this week, things were looking different, and I did have to cancel a Haskell talk in Freiburg on Monday due to illness. But I'm back on track and will be travelling to Brussels tomorrow.
I'll be holding a talk on how we package Haskell in Debian, on Suday at 15:30. I hope it will be useful to Debian users (who will better understand the packaging), other Debian Developers (who'll learn about the peculiarities of Haskell and the implications for the Debian infrastructure), other distro's maintainers (to compare best practices) and Haskell developers (to learn about the needs and worries of downstream packages). The talk will be based on my DebConf 11 talk on the same topic. I'm also happy to answer questions about Haskell, Haskell in Debian or any other topic that you want to hear my opinion about, so just talk to me during FOSDEM.
In related news: GHC 7.6.2 was uploaded to Debian experimental the day it was released; the rebuilding of all libraries is still in progress (~370 of ~570 done).
Janis Voigtländer has invited me again to give a lecture in his Advanced Functional Programming course at the University of Bonn. Like last time, when I talked about performance analysis in Haskell, I chose a topic that is more on implementationishy side to contrast the theoretic content of the rest of the course. I recycled my talk on the memory representation of GHC that I have held at last year's Meta Main-Rhein Chaos Days. As usual I provide a transcript of the talk as intended (not as held). It is slightly revised over the old version and I have added a section on unboxed values in constructors, which I have nevertheless skipped today.
Given the very positive feedback for Dennis Felsing's tool ghc-vis, which visualizes the heap representation of a Haskell value, including all the gory details such as thunks, values retained by thunks indirections, sharing etc, I saw the need to provide this information also directly in GHCi, without having to load a graphics library or opening extra libraries. So I added the required features (traversing the heap and pretty-printing the results) to my ghc-heap-view package and, also following ghc-vis's lead, added a ghci file that, when loaded, provides you with a :printHeap command. Here you can see it in action:
Prelude> :script /home/jojo/.cabal/share/ghc-heap-view-0.4.0.0/ghci Prelude> let x = [1..10] Prelude> x [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] Prelude> :printHeap x _bh [S# 1,S# 2,S# 3,S# 4,S# 5,S# 6,S# 7,S# 8,S# 9,S# 10]
Note that the tools shows us that the list is a list of S# constructors, and also that it is still hidden behind a blackhole. After running System.Mem.performGC, this disappears.
Prelude> let x = Just (1 + 1) Prelude> :printHeap x Just _bco Prelude> x Just 2 Prelude> System.Mem.performGC Prelude> :printHeap x Just (S# 2)
Here, we see how the calculation was deferred until forced by showing the value of x. The name _bco stands for a bytecode object as used by the interpreter. Getting useful information from them is a bit harder than for compiled thunks, so for more accurate results put the code in a Haskell source file, compile it and use the GHC.HeapView API to print the interesting parts.
Prelude> let a = "hi" Prelude> let partial = (a ++) Prelude> partial "" "hi" Prelude> System.Mem.performGC Prelude> let x = (a, partial) Prelude> :printHeap x let x1 = "hi" in (x1,_fun x1)
The information
Prelude> let s = "ho" Prelude> let x = cycle s Prelude> length (take 100 (show x)) 100 Prelude> System.Mem.performGC Prelude> :printHeap x let x0 = C# 'h' : C# 'o' : x0 in x0 Prelude> let y = map Data.Char.toUpper x Prelude> length (take 100 (show y)) 100 Prelude> :printHeap y C# 'H' : C# 'O' : C# 'H' : C# 'O' : C# 'H' : C# 'O' : C# 'H' : C# 'O' : C# 'H' : C# 'O' : _bh (C# 'H' : C# 'O' : C# 'H' : C# 'O' : C# 'H' : C# 'O' : C# 'H' : C# 'O' : ... : ...)
The cyclic, tying-the-knot structure of cycle is very visible. But can also see how easily it is broken, in this case by mapping a function over the list.
Prelude> let {x = 'H' : y ; y = 'o' : x } Prelude> length (show (take 10 x, take 10 y)) `seq` return () Prelude> System.Mem.performGC Prelude> :printHeap (x,y) let x1 = C# 'H' : x3 x3 = C# 'o' : x1 in (x1,x3)
If you want to look at multiple variables at once, just pass a tuple to printHeap
In the hope that this will be a useful tool for you, I uploaded version 0.4.0.0 of ghc-heap-view to hackage.
For an upcoming introductory Haskell talk of mine (next Tuesday in Karlsruhe – please come and join if you will) I was looking into data visualization as a example application. With libraries like gloss, getting some nice vector graphics up and running within one talk is quite possible.
For some reason, I want to arrange multiple circles of varying size so that they do not overlap and use as little space as possible. My first approach was to use general purpose optimizers such as cmaes, Numeric.GSL.Minimization from the hmatrix package and force-layout. I especially liked the interface of cmaes, which is able to minimize a function of, say, type [(String, Double, Double)] -> Double by automatically finding the values of type Double in the input, as described by Takayuki Muranushi. That would have looked great in the talk. Unfortunately, none of these libraries gave sufficient good results in a reasonable amount of time for this problem.
I then reviewed some of the academic literature on the circle packing problem and there were some algorithms proposed, but no simple one and none of the papers had a concise pseudo-code description that I could transfer to Haskell.
So eventually I set out to implement a relatively dump and slow greedy algorithm myself: I place one circle after another, starting with the largest, and among the valid positions where a new circle touches two already placed circles, I choose the positions closest to the center of mass. The result, available in the circle-packing package, looks surprisingly well, here visualized using the diagrams library (See the documentation of Optimisation.CirclePacking for the code used to generate that image):
Oh, and while I am talking about neat tricks: You can put vector graphics in your haddock documentation, as I have done for Optimisation.CirclePacking, using the syntax <<<data:image/svg+xml;base64,PD94bWwgdmV...c3ZnPg==>>.
What happens if the same person (in this case, my girlfriend) is both a bit geeky and likes to bake? She has ideas leading to this:
And what is the obvious thing to do with such biscuit (or are they cookies?). Play tetris:
(Also on YouTube if your browser does not play the video above.)
Oh, and to refute common stereotypes about me: The baking was done by me, but she helped me glazing the biscuits.
For more than ten years now, I am a regular and happy user of GnuCash, the free accountancy program. Especially the integrated online banking support for HBCI that allows me not only to fetch my transactions, but also to transfer money using a cryptographic makes it a great tool. Nevertheless, it has shortcomings, especially when it comes to reports. And for some reason I never felt the urge to hack on that C/Guile code (although I recently hacked a bit on the UI).
Joey Hess' blog post about Simon Michael's hledger made me look at that command line based accountancy tool. It certainly won't replace Gnucash for me, but luckily ledger, of which hledger is a re-implementation, can read GnuCash's file format and convert it to a ledger file that hledger can read as well. So now I can do analysis on my financial data in Haskell – what would you want more?
One report that I was missing was the internal rate of investment of some account. This is the annual rate of a hypothetical fixed interest-bearing savings account that would, given the same deposits and payouts, result in the same final value. I now implemented this as the hledger-irr command and – as you would expect – you can find it on hackage. See the package description for documentation and example output.
It is very fresh, hardly tested code, so don't base important decisions on it yet. Also, it needs work to work correctly with multiple currencies or things with varying prices, and I am not yet sure what to do there.
Update: Simon asked me to elaborate the difference to hledger-interest by Peter Simons (on which my code was initial based, but eventually I rewrote everything but the option parsing code). The difference is that hledger-interest answers the question "I have this investment with this yearly interest rate (which may even change), how large are the interest payments going to be." I imagine a usecase is that you have borrowed some money to a friend at a certain (surely amicable) rate and need to figure out what he owes you, even when you gave him the money mid year and he payed you some back shortly after easter. hledger-irr serves a different purpose: Here you already know your investment payments, gains and losses and you want to have a number describing "how good" your investment was. One usecase might be that, at the end of a live of paying into a pension fund, you ask yourself: "Given all the feeds and commissions, was this a good idea or should I just have invested the money myself?" Then the internal rate of investment tells you how lucrative an alternative fixed-rate investment would have had to been to match your pension fund investment. (Or course this is not the only aspect that you should look at when comparing investments, as it totally ignores risk and possible insurance elements of the investment.)
Motivated by a user's mail, I worked a little bit on screen-message aka sm.This tool, which I wrote 6 years ago and is in Debian since 2007, displays a (possibly multi-line) text as large as possible on your screen and can be used in many, mostly spontaneous ways.
It has always been used in a scripted setting as well, e.g. as make-shift slides for a lightning talk. This is now possible without having to quit sm (and hence flickering): Since version 0.20, you can continuously feed text to "sm -" and it will display everything until the next form feed character (or the end of the file). So this command produces a make-shift digital wall clock, if you happen to need one:
(while sleep 1; do date +%T; echo -e '\f'; done) | sm -
Since Debian is currently in a freeze to eventually release wheezy (and this feature is hardly release critical) you will have to fetch the new version from experimental.
By the way, screen message is also available as a web version on http://sm.nomeata.de/ and as a Mozilla WebApp (although the usability on smart phone can still be improved, considering that I do not own such a device).
Today, a small
package was waiting for me at my door step, containing 52 printed and
stapled copies of a paper that I wrote a while ago. To be more precise, two years ago, when I submitted the main results of my math Diploma Thesis to the Israel Journal of Mathematics. Next year at christmas eve, it was accepted and published online. And now, it seems, it finally went into print. So my paper now has page numbers and I have this pile of printouts that outnumbers the set of possibly interested readers by four dozens or more, and they would probably just download the online version instead of asking for this print out. This seems all very anachronistic to me.
This week's issue of c't, one of Germany's largest and most influential computer magazine, has a six page introductory article about Haskell (c't 2012, Issue 23, pages 182-187). The author Harad Bögeholz demonstrates its features and strength by implementing a Slitherlink puzzle solver. As I have helped him a bit by checking the code and article for untypical Haskell code and general advice, I happen to be named at the end of the article – nice.
There may be a situation where you want to create a Debian source package without having to unpack the upstream source. One case is where you store your debian/ directory in a version control system of its own and to build your package, you pass the .dsc file to a tool like pbuilder or some remote builder. Now a modern debian source package is just a text file (the .dsc file) that references two tarballs, one being the upstream source and the other being the Debian directory. Thanks to Niels Thykier on #debian, I found the magic invocation of dpkg-source that allows you to create the .dsc directly from the two tarballs, the control file and the changelog:
> apt-get source --download-only -t experimental haskell-mtl Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

As you can see, the resulting .dsc file is identical to the original one, so this approach works. The parameter to -b does not matter as long as it is some existing directory. Of course you can easily shoot yourself and others in the foot, almost as easily as hand-editing the .dsc file... but if you know what you are doing, then this can be quite handy.
Next to do: Write a tool that takes an unpacked Debian directory as an argument, packs it, finds the original tarball using uscan and creates the .dsc file. Would this be something that people would want in the devscripts package?
Last week, my first student ever submitted his bachelor thesis "Visualization of Lazy Evaluation and Sharing" about a tool he created that allows you to investigate the heap of a running Haskell program, including unevaluated values and their sharing properties, in a visual and interactive manner. You can see it in action at the end of the video of my lightning talk about ghc-dup at the Haskell Implementors Workshop this year, and read more about it on Dennis' ghc-vis web page. I'm quite happy about the result and I think I can get used to have other people implement my ideas and needs :-)
Dennis said he is willing to continue the maintenance of the tool, so give it a shot and bombard him with bug reports and feature requests!

The Hidden Cost of Open Source Application Delivery Automation
Hide details
Jim McMahon, Product Manager at Electric Cloud
Application delivery automation tools should do more than just automate delivery. They should reduce companies' time to market, scale to enterprise levels, provide cross-project visibility, enable compliance and security, and increase resource utilization. Many open source tools fail to provide all of these benefits – inflating companies' total cost of ownership. Join our webinar to learn about the hidden costs of open source tools and how Electric Cloud's ElectricCommander provides the enterprise-level solution you need for success.
Who should attend this webinar?
•Companies struggling to consolidate open source sprawl
•Growing organizations currently using open source automation tools
•Build, test, and release teams held back by their current automation process
•Managers and executives who have limited visibility into their software application development process

Who Needs CSI When You've Got Flow Forensics to Find the Culprit of Performance
David Oliver, Sr. Product Manager
May 21 2013
5 mins
When a business rolls out IT systems to run its operations, the basic foundation on which the system is built is the network that carries the traffic. To be able to solve problems in such a complex environment, it's vitally important to know what is happening on the network. Whether it's the behavior of the applications, behavior of the users or rogue elements that interfere with application delivery, knowing what is going on is half the battle of solving the problem.
This short video will discuss why having a well-designed workflow for identifying suspect traffic patterns and finding even the smallest volume of interesting data can make the difference in finding the culprit of pesky performance problems.

34 mins
Zac Streelman, Manager, Information Technology at Leupold and Stevens was looking for a disaster recovery (DR) solution that would extend the flexibility of virtualization to his DR environment. The solution had to deliver enterprise-class support for his mission critical applications: Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and SharePoint and various CAD programs. The board of directors was specifically asking what the current solution was and what service levels could the infrastructure deliver.
Zerto Virtual Replication installed seamlessly into their existing infrastructure, did not require any data center updates and is fully integrated into VMware vCenter.
With Zerto Virtual Replication he was able to:
- Realize very aggressive service levels – recovery point objectives of seconds and recovery time objectives of minutes
- Deliver a better ROI with a DR solution that is hardware agnostic
- Increase team productivity with a very simple solution
- Quickly cross-train additional staff on DR processes and procedures
- Optimize flexibility as changes to the environment required changes to the DR strategy

Christopher Rommel, VP of Embedded Technology at VDC
We all know that Agile enables software organizations to continuously deliver working software faster to customers (internal or external). This helps software teams to not only deliver products faster but also in tune with the changing market needs. In practice however, organizations still struggle to get the full benefits of Agile methodology because they have not fully automated their practices (development, build, test, release).
Join us to hear Christopher Rommel, VP of M2M and Embedded Technology at VDC, address the fundamental issues and recommendations you should consider as you adopt Agile:
1. Drivers for adopting Agile
2. Critical organizational, process and tooling issues to consider and pitfalls to avoid
3. Recommendations on how to do this right by automating your processes

Accelerating Time to Market for Android Devices
Nov 7 2012
44 mins
Amir Raz, Sr. Product Manager at Wind River, and Ashish Kuthiala, Head of Product Marketing at Electric Cloud
With newer Android operating systems being released at a rapid pace, the delivery of devices is still gated by how quickly device makers can build, test and release their software for each Android release. For business, this means a number of negative impacts - slow time to market, poor quality of products, low productivity of development teams and a lack of visibility across the entire delivery process. With an average Android development cycle of about four months, time to market determines the winner in this marketplace.
Join this webinar to hear the integrated Android Solution from Electric Cloud and Wind River that accelerates your time to market by simplifying and automating the entire product development lifecycle from design through testing to compliance validation.

A deep dive on DevOps and Application Deployments
Aug 14 2012
63 mins
Glenn O'Donnell, principal analyst from Forrester Research, Inc. and Ashish Kuthiala from Electric Cloud
Businesses are trying to deliver web applications to their customers faster by increased adoption of Agile practices. However, applications are inherently complex and deploying them is even more complex. A single application release leads to several deployments across Development, QA, Staging and Production. In the last mile, production deployments remain the key hurdle due to the disconnect between the Dev and Ops teams.
Attend this webinar to join the discussion between guest speaker, principal analyst Glenn O'Donnell, from Forrester Research, Inc. and Ashish Kuthiala from Electric Cloud as they present:
•Current challenges in deploying applications.
•Sharing deployment best-practices between Dev and Ops.
•Improving deployment consistency and repeatability.
•Refining development processes to reduce errors.
•Solving deployment challenges with ElectricDeploy, a new Electric Cloud solution.

Taking Enterprise Continuous Integration to the Next Level
Jun 26 2012
46 mins
Matt Torkington, Systems Engineer at Electric Cloud and Mark Warren, European Marketing Director, Perforce
European webinar - 9 AM GMT (10 AM UK time zone)
The advantages of running Enterprise Continuous Integration (CI) processes are well documented - improved time-to-market and quality are just the top of the list. Implementing CI across the enterprise appears to require more build infrastructure than many IT organizations can sustain and a large build cloud puts a large performance load on the SCM system. Both Electric Cloud and Perforce provide unique technology to implement Enterprise CI while addressing critical challenges through key advantages such as preflight build support and source repository replication.
Join this webinar to learn how Perforce's investment in replication technology will help sustain an enterprise build cloud with little impact on the rest of the system. Perforce's 2012.1 release features a new replication behavior targeted at build cloud support, another step forward in Perforce's federated architecture. You'll also learn how ElectricCommander 4.1 and the latest release of the ElectricCommander plugin for Perforce dramatically improve Enterprise CI adoption and preflight build performance.

Jim McMahon, Product Manager at Electric Cloud
Application delivery automation tools should do more than just automate delivery. They should reduce companies' time to market, scale to enterprise levels, provide cross-project visibility, enable compliance and security, and increase resource utilization. Many open source tools fail to provide all of these benefits – inflating companies' total cost of ownership. Join our webinar to learn about the hidden costs of open source tools and how Electric Cloud's ElectricCommander provides the enterprise-level solution you need for success.
Who should attend this webinar?
•Companies struggling to consolidate open source sprawl
•Growing organizations currently using open source automation tools

CERN Scales their Complex Software Ecosystem with Automation
May 30 2012
48 mins
Benedikt Hegner, Scientist with CERN's development team
European webinar- 10 AM BST / 11 AM CEST (this is the corrected time)
No one said that finding out what the universe is made of and how it works would be easy. But at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, thousands of scientists are trying to do just that every day.
The development team at CERN has created many applications including the ROOT platform, a big data analysis for its High Energy Physics computing. These applications are used by more than 20,000 users to create cutting edge scientific software. Understanding that the quality of their application is critical for its large customer base, CERN adopted Agile practices like Continuous Integration (CI) and testing.
Please join this European webinar to hear how CERN implemented Electric Cloud's scalable automation solution to build and test their complex software applications to improve their code quality and increase their release frequency.
Join this webinar to learn:
•How CERN validates their code quality when creating applications designed to identify the existence of sub-atomic particles
•Why buildbot couldn't scale to CERN's needs
•What benefits more than 20,000 users enjoy from CERN implementing Electric Cloud's ElectricCommander solution
Making Continuous Integration Truly Continuous (Wind River & Electric Cloud)
May 23 2012
51 mins
Anders Wallgren, CTO for Electric Cloud, and Ido Sarig, VP of Marketing for Wind River
Continuous integration (CI) is one of the core best practices of agile development. It is intended to support the agile development precept to "deliver working software frequently" by allowing teams to regularly validate their code changes. But achieving the benefits of CI is often hampered by the need to commit changes to the code base before they can be fully tested. This reactive approach results in broken builds, builds that do not pass system or smoke tests, and, inevitably, wasted time by the individual developer or the team at large.
Join Wind River and Electric Cloud as we discuss the concept of "preflight operations"—giving developers the ability to fully build and test their changes before committing them to the source code repository.
By attending this webinar you will learn:
•How to reap the full benefits of CI and Agile development by employing "preflight operations"
•How the build a system in isolation, ensuring your changes won't break other concurrent changes
•How to minimize build times, by running parallel builds and optimizing checkout times
•How to minimize test cycles by avoiding irrelevant tests

PINEVILLE — The Mountain Lions have come out of the Christmas break playing defense with a vengeance. Monday night they opened the second half by forcing seven turnovers during a 15-0 run as they broke their game open and went on to a 72-46 win over Lynn Camp.
It was Pineville's fourth straight win and their second in a row in 51st District action. The Lions stayed alive for the top seed in the district thanks to Friday's 44-39 win at Knox Central.
"There are some things we've changed the last couple of games defensively. We tried to that tonight, but we didn't do it as tenaciously as we did against Knox. We played hard, but not with the same purpose," said Pineville coach J.D. Strange. "The second half we played a lot smarter defensively and kept (Matt) Trosper out of the paint. He killed us in the first half by getting into the paint because of our over-aggressiveness."
Senior forward Byron David Asher led a balanced Lion attack with 15 points. The Lions also got 14 points each from John Simpson and Seth Jeffrey along with ten from Cody Collett and eight from Jared Philpot.
Lynn Camp was led by Justin Hammonds' 15 points while Trosper finished with 11 and Skylar McFarland 11.
Early on the Wildcats made a game of it. McFarland and Hammonds combined for nine first quarter points as they trailed just 16-14 after one.
Trosper scored seven of his points in the second quarter, but the Lions were able to close the half strong despite Simpson sitting with foul trouble.
Jeffrey and Collett hit 3-pointers and Dalton Ledbetter scored after grabbing an offensive rebound and the lead was 35-26 by halftime.
The 15-0 run to open the third quarter put the game away. Collett and Jeffrey scored five points each during the decisive run and a basket from Asher made it 50-25 with 3:20 to play in the period.
Hammonds ended the Lynn Camp drought with a 3-pointer at the 2:36 mark, but Asher and Simpson both converted three-point plays and the lead was up to 30 going into the fourth quarter and the Lions went on to win by 26.
"It was an early game time and there were a whole lot of things going on tonight. I don't know what it was, but in the first half we had a hard time getting focused," Strange said. "In the third quarter we got into a rhythm, made some shots, came up with some steals and started to settle down and play.
"Lynn Camp has some good athletes and they battled. During that first half I was very concerned."
Pineville (10-5, 2-1 in district play) returns to action Friday at Model. Lynn Camp (8-9, 0-2) plays at Knox Central Friday.
Strange said tonight's game between Knox Central (0-1 in district play) and Barbourville (2-0) will go along way toward determining the seeding for the 51st District tournament.
"If Barbourville wins, obviously they'll be the one seed and we'll be the two. If Knox Central wins, it all comes down to point margin, as long as they also beat Lynn Camp on Friday. We could be the one seed or the three seed, so it can still go a lot of different ways," he said.

Lynn Camp…14…12….6…14 — 46

Community gardens
Reduce your carbon footprint, save on groceries
Imagine enjoying your lunch or dinner created from vegetables you grew yourself. The loud crunch of vegetables is the sound of freshness and you can't get much fresher than home grown.
The City of Sydney hosts 18 community gardens and 3 footpath gardens. Community gardens are run by locals and are used to grow fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs. These communal spaces can significantly cut down the distance fresh, organic produce has to travel and therefore minimises its carbon footprint.
5 benefits of community gardens
- Residents have easy access to a communal plot of land, especially in high-density pockets of the inner-city where outdoor space can be in short supply.
- Diverse plants and seeds can be saved.
- Household waste can be reduced through composting systems.
- Demonstrate practical organic gardening methods.
- Bring people together and create a sense of community.
Community gardens and Green Villages
The City's Green Villages site is full of information about living more sustainably in our city.
Green Villages has information about starting your own community garden, where to find existing community gardens and community gardening success stories to inspire you.
The site also includes information about City grants. These grants can help kick start your own community garden if you have a plan and location in mind. Grants can be cash or in-kind support, such as hiring a City venue.
Bush restoration
The City of Sydney hosts a range of volunteer groups, including a Landcare team, who are trying to create native bushland areas by planting, mulching and weeding as well as spotting the local wildlife. These groups are increasing isolated bushland patches and greening the corridor for local native animals.
Benefits of joining a volunteer group
- Saving local plants and animals from extinction
- Meeting likeminded neighbours in the local area
- Learning about native plants.
If you are interested in joining a volunteer group or starting a new one, please get in touch with us.

Migration to Digital Terrestrial Television concluded successfully in Alenquer
The switch-off of Alenquer's analogue television relay, on 12 May, was the culmination of a process of technical preparation and a public communication plan, which involved various national and local media and which was particularly intense in recent weeks.
The country's first exercise in migration to DTT followed a three-pronged approach: a focus on ensuring that all citizens in the area covered by the relay were properly informed - through public information sessions, involvement of local authorities and other local partners, and careful oversight of the process.
Four days after the switch-off, it is now clear that the process was successful, since no reports have been received, either by the local help desk provided by ANACOM and DG Consumidor, by ANACOM's helpline, or by Alenquer Municipal Council, of any instances of citizens being left without access to the free, unrestricted television service (RTP1, RTP 2, SIC and TVI). Meanwhile, the DTT helpline (the number given in the message broadcast by Alenquer's analogue relay) only reported a single case of interruption to the open signal television service.
As such, it can be concluded that the process of migrating to DTT in the pilot area of Alenquer has been accomplished successfully.
The manner in which the process was managed in Alenquer and its result demonstrates that the migration to digital terrestrial television can occur smoothly and that people shouldn't be left without being able to watch TV, as they have done for the last several decades. As with analogue television, digital television does not involve the payment of any fees and does not entail subscription to paid television services.
The communication plan will continue and will be gradually extended to reach the entire country, with the involvement of local partners and careful oversight on an ongoing basis (focusing particularly in coming weeks on the pilot zones of Agualva-Cacém). In the meantime, ICP-ANACOM calls on all citizens who will affected by the migration - homes which only have the channels RTP1, RTP 2, SIC and TVI (RTP1 and RTP Azores or RTP Madeira, in the respective autonomous regions) and which receive the signal through traditional television aerials on the roof (via terrestrial reception) - to prepare for DTT and get ready in good time for the switch-off of analogue television.
DTT - Digital Terrestrial Television: Name given to the system of digital television broadcasting by herzian or terrestrial means, based on the DVB-T standard, which replaced the terrestrial analogue system.
Switch-Off (of the terrestrial analogue system): Termination of terrestrial analogue television broadcasting. From 26 April 2012, the terrestrial television service has no longer been available via analogue, and has been available through digital only.
