Tigers' Jim Leyland says Al Alburquerque meant no disrespect to A's with kiss
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Ideally, Jim Leyland would have everybody hug it out and play ball.
Just as Detroit's Justin Verlander and Coco Crisp of Oakland did on the field for Monday's workout day ahead of their teams' Game 3 in the AL division series Tuesday. The Tigers lead 2-0 and are one win from advancing to a second straight AL championship series.
Leyland insists reliever Al Alburquerque meant no ill will toward the Athletics when he fielded Yoenis Cespedes' ninth-inning comebacker and quickly kissed the ball before throwing to first. Yet the manager disagreed with the display.
"Everybody always says I'm from the old school, so I'd have probably hugged it first," Leyland joked. "I don't think it was the right thing to do. I will sit here today and I will not try to defend it. I will say that I can assure everybody, including the Oakland A's, Al Alburquerque did nothing intentionally to offend the Oakland A's. A lot of emotion is shown in different ways in the game anymore. You see a lot of different variations of personal celebrations as well as team celebrations.
"It wasn't a smart thing to do, but I can honestly tell you that there is no way that Al Alburquerque or any members of the Detroit Tigers would ever do anything intentionally to offend another team. It just would not happen," Leyland said.
As upstart Oakland returned home hoping to pull off another improbable sweep like the one against Texas last week to capture the AL West crown, that controversial smooch was still plenty talked about in both clubhouses.
Alburquerque said he did speak to his teammates, and that they knew his gesture was "within the emotion of the game."
"I respect Cespedes and I didn't do it out of disrespect," the pitcher said. "I was just excited to get the out."
Still, that didn't mean the Tigers weren't surprised by it.
"I said, 'Did I see what I just saw?'" catcher Gerald Laird said. Continued...
Cespedes was eager to get to his baseball work Monday, saying: "That's his problem. It doesn't bother me. It was his turn to win. Someday it will be my turn."
Even though everybody realized full well they should be focused on the game itself.
"I know him, so I know he didn't mean much by it," injured A's third baseman and former Tiger Brandon Inge said. "But I'm sure he's going to regret it. Honestly, this is something that's going to be blown out of proportion because it's a unique story and it's something that doesn't happen much. For us, our ultimate retaliation or comeback would be to win three. We're not concerned with the actions of one person. On their side, I'm sure he didn't really want to stir up a hornet's nest over here either."
Right-hander Anibal Sanchez (4-6), a midseason acquisition from Miami who was steady down the stretch, will try to pitch the Tigers to another postseason sweep of Oakland.
Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera is still looking for his first RBI of the series, but is hitting .375 (3 for 8) with two doubles, no strikeouts and a walk.
Lefty Brett Anderson (4-2) gets the ball in his postseason debut as the A's try to prolong their season for one more day. Anderson, who looked strong in six starts after a 14-month absence recovering from elbow ligament-replacement surgery, is coming back from a right oblique injury he sustained falling awkwardly off the mound in a start at Detroit on Sept. 19. He hopes to work deep without a pitch count, though pitching coach Curt Young said he'd likely be around 80.
"It's going to be fun," he said. "I don't think I'll have to dial it down. ... A postseason game in Oakland, there hasn't been one for a while."
The Tigers swept Oakland out of its last playoff series — in four games of the 2006 AL championship series. None of the current A's were on the team then, and only two were even in the organization.
The task is daunting: win three straight at home. Yet this A's team has accomplished unheard of feats in a season full of walkoffs and victories celebrated with whipped-cream pies.
And, just last week they took three in a row from the two-time reigning AL champion Rangers to stun Texas for the AL West crown in Game No. 162 last Wednesday. Continued...
That late-season surge erased a five-game deficit, and the A's became the first time in major league history to do so over the final 10 games to win a division or pennant. They trailed Texas by 13 games on June 30.
"Nobody knew we were good until the end," Oakland's Jonny Gomes said. "We had Major League Baseball right where we wanted them: We tricked them into playing 162 games."
Now, Oakland will attempt to become the first playoff team in franchise history to come back from down 2-0. In six of the previous seven series when the A's lost the first two games, the wound up getting swept.
Oakland will try to get its offense going after striking out 23 times in the first two games, including 14 in Saturday's 3-1 loss in Game 1. The A's hit a majors-leading 112 home runs after the All-Star break.
A's manager Bob Melvin isn't worried about the K-fest, and neither are his players. Josh Reddick has six of the strikeouts after hitting a team-best 32 home runs during the regular season.
"If you're going to be aggressive, you're going to swing hard," Gomes said. "If you're going to hit home runs, you're going to swing hard."
Yet Melvin knows firsthand how good Sanchez can be. The 28-year-old Venezuelan pitched a no-hitter for Florida during his rookie season of 2006 against Melvin's Arizona Diamondbacks. Oakland shortstop Stephen Drew also was on that Arizona team, while Cabrera played for the Marlins.
Leyland has experience with this year's playoff format, featuring the higher seed opening on the road for the first two games.
Facing the favored San Francisco Giants, Florida won the first two games at home, then completed a three-game sweep of the NL division series at Candlestick Park on the way to the title — Leyland's lone championship in 21 years as a manager.
These Tigers sure seem primed for another special October run. Continued...
First, they'll have to deal with a loud Coliseum crowd that has come alive over the past month as the A's emerged as a surprise contender, then clinched the club's first playoff berth in six years.
For Melvin, whatever happened Sunday is now in the past. He has bigger concerns at the moment.
"I respect Jim Leyland about as much as I respect anyone," Melvin said. "I think there are varying degrees of all that stuff, showmanship. ... I don't think there's one right or wrong way. Emotionally after a game when something like that happens you're always going to hear something from somebody. But you move on. It's not a big deal for me."

Orchard Lake St. Mary's Routs Avondale in District Football Final
Senior fullback Grant Niemiec leads Eaglets on the ground with 152 yards and three touchdowns.
With an eye toward the goal line and the score tied, the Orchard Lake St. Mary's varsity football team gambled and won on fourth down with a running play up the middle to keep the drive alive against Auburn Hills Avondale. Then, they did it again. And again. The defending Div. 3 state champion Eaglets utilized their ground attack to near-perfection on a crisp Saturday afternoon at home to beat Avondale, 49-14, for the district championship. Senior fullback Grant Niemiec, who led the way with 152 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, scored a go-ahead touchdown on fourth-and-one from the Avondale 1-yard-line in the second quarter to take the lead, 14-7. The Eaglets converted two previous fourth-down conversions on the 16-play, 60-yard…

Soccer players from Central Kitsap, Olympic sign letters of intent
By WES MORROW
Central Kitsap Reporter Reporter
February 8, 2013 · Updated 2:08 PM
UPDATED (2:08 p.m.)
Three soccer players from Central Kitsap High School and one from Olympic signed letters of intent to play at the university level following graduation.
Jordan Kollars, Jessica Sanchez and Paige Serwold from Central Kitsap signed letters of intent during a ceremony at the high school on Wednesday. Kollars is going to Seattle Pacific, Sanchez to Idaho State and Serwold will be attending the University of Washington.
Olympic High School senior Micaylla O'Leary signed a letter of intent to play soccer at Saint Martin's University on Wednesday.
The senior was reportedly communicating with other schools including Central Michigan and University of Toledo, where her sister plays, but decided to attend the more local Saint Martin's.
"I've always been kind of a family person," O'Leary said. "It would have been hard for me to leave my mom and dad, and I kind of wanted a smaller school."
She said she verbally committed to the school last February.
O'Leary volunteers as an assistant coach with WestSound FC, and hopes to continue doing so in the summers after she graduates. She was recently named Volunteer of the Year by the Northwest Sound Youth Soccer Association.

For Moser Baer, the solar-equipment business was meant for keeps. Six years ago, frustrated by businesses in which it capitalised and then capitulated to technology shifts-floppy disks, CDs, DVDs, blu-ray disks and USB drives-the company entered solar, warmed by its promise of stability, growth and profitability.Today, profitability is a mirage, and it is threatening stability and growth, and pushing Moser Baer back to that every state it strived to escape from: a periodic existential crisis.For the fifth year running, the Moser Baer has posted losses. Both its subsidiaries in the solar-equipment business are unable to generate cash flows to pay off their Rs 1,800 crore debt, and are currently in talks with their lenders for a breather.It is also in talks with banks to refinance $88.5 million of foreign-currency convertible bonds (FCCBs) that mature in June and are unlikely to be converted by bondholders as the company's stock has fallen 78% in the past year and is quoting 97% below the conversion price.The one business that Ratul Puri, the 39-yearold Moser Baer scion, had pinned his company's future and his reputation on is at a crossroads. This time, though, it's not technology that decided to move on. It's China that decided to move in-in its typical way.The Chinese government handed out cash, land and power on easy terms to private manufacturers of solar equipment, which enabled them to drive down prices by 35-40% in three years and drive out other players. "I can't fight the Chinese government," says Puri, executive director of the Rs 3,000 crore Moser Baer, which, in 2011-12, derived about 30% of its revenues from the solar-equipment business.Today, according to Puri, Moser Baer is operating at 40% of its capacity in the solar-equipment business. Even as the Chinese onslaught continues, even as the economics for Indian manufacturers remains unviable, even as bankers rework Moser's debt, Puri sees a ray of hope."Current challenges are short lived," he says, adding that Chinese subsidies will have to be pulled back at some point, and that will happen sooner rather than later.Moser, he adds, is also working on a Plan B.The company is looking to upgrade from the mass market to the high-end market. So, it wants to make solar panels that, compared to the standard ones, generate 40% more power and are capable of generating power even in dimmer sunlight.The backbone of this idea is, yet again, that one factor that has been integral to Moser's roller-coaster ride: technology. And, as in the past, it's not going to be easy for Moser.It is theoretically possible to bet on a high-efficiency panel," says Seshan Balakrishnan, director, infrastructure, Ernst & Young. "You go the way you intend and things can change." Adds another consultant who did not want to be named: "If the Chinese have entered the mass market, it won't take them long to retool."
Mass Market To high End
A McKinsey report released earlier this year titled 'Solar Power: Darkest Before Dawn' has a section for solar-equipment manufacturers on 'how to win'. It says scale will be crucial, for which companies will need strong balance sheets.

Hall of fame: Nate True and Tap Tap Revolution
Tap Tap Revolution began what became one of the first big gaming franchises on the iPhone. Created by Nate True, Tap Tap Revolution was developed over the course of two days, and released on September 11, 2007, not even 3 months after the original iPhone launched, and roughly a month before Steve Jobs' open letter announcing an official SDK would be coming in 2008. True wrote on cre.ations.net at the time:
Download songs from my online collection (contact me to get your own music on there) and tap to the beat when the lights hit the bottom line.
TTR has an online update feature (under "New Tracks") where new tracks will be added (by indie artists). You can download and play them over your Wi-fi connection (downloading not recommended over EDGE but it will work).
TTR was a hit, and in 2008 True sold it to Tapulous. True also joined Tapulous to continue development of TTR, writing on cre.ations.net:
Suffice it to say, their push for more features definitely works out better for you guys. [...] We're pushing to get into the App Store at launch. It will be free, at least to begin with. So get yours as soon as you can!
Among the new features True teased was two-player mode. However, the new, official SDK also came with some official limitations:
A few of you eagle-eyed participants have noticed that the iTunes Library option is missing from the official version. This is due to restrictions in the iPhone SDK, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it won't be gone forever!
At Tapulous, True was joined on the coding side by Guy English, and on the design side by Louie Mantia. TTR also changed names, to Tap Tap Revenge. In a "long boring history" post on Decremental, Tapulous founder Bart Decrem elaborated:
Nate True and Guy English worked together on what would become Tap Tap Revenge 1.0. [...] The design for Tap Tap Revenge 1 was done by Louie Mantia. The product definition largely came from Nate, with contributions by Louie, Guy and myself. [...] On July 11, 2008, the App Store launched. Tap Tap Revenge was there on launch day and shot straight to #1.
Tap Tap Revenge was even featured on iPod touch art, including a banner inside Apple's Cupertino headquarters. True posed in front of it, and shared the image on cre.ations.net
In March of 2009, Tapulous released Tap Tap Revenge 2, and re-released the original version as Tap Tap Classic. It was followed by Tap Tap Revenge 3 in October of 2009, and Tap Tap Revenge 4 in December of 2010. TTR also branched out, offering versions of the hit game centered around specific artists, like Cold Play, Katie Perry, Nine Inch Nails, the TV show Glee, and many, many more. They also added Tap Tap Dance to their portfolio in 2008, Riddim Ribbon for iPhone, as well as Tap Tap Radiation for the original iPad, in 2010, and recently, Tap Tap Revenge Tour.
- Various - Download now
Tapulous was acquired by Disney in July 2010, in no small part thanks to the strength of the brand that began with True's work in 2007. True moved on to Monster Costume, where he's now a partner and chief engineer. According to the Monster Costume site, some of his work there includes:
ABC News for iPad, Nick Chase HD, the Bartleby children's book series, and more.
Bringing popular music gameplay to the iPhone in a time before any official gaming existed, figuring out how to translate the play mechanics to multitouch and implement them absent any public-facing frameworks, and working as part of Tapulous to adapt and launch his creation alongside Apple's App Store, True helped show a generation of developers the potential of the iPhone as a mainstream gaming platform, and as a place where new, hugely successful franchises could be born.
That's why, as part of the inaugural iMore hall of fame, we're honoring Nate True, and the musical masterpiece that was born Tap Tap Revolution.
There are 2 comments. Add yours.
Yeah I remember TTR. revolutions was awesome. I enjoyed playing my songs. Then came ttr1 and 2 they were good but with some good songs some not so but i still enjoyed it. Then ttr3 by far the best which brought online chat, online play, avatars, and a variety of songs. I met a lot of ppl there, cool game play awesome things. And then it went downhill. A lot of spam, hacks and above all tapulous stopped updating ttr. A ton of bugs happened and massive score hacking an avatars. People stop playing and it looked like a ghost town lol. When Disney Bought it that killed it like even more
Now ttr tour is Sucks.
Thanks to the creators and developers of TTR though, it was the Best App ever.
my sn is in ttr is ailpp too :p in ttr

Elsevier launches new journal - Performance Enhancement & Health - 17 Aug 2012
STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the launch of a new international, peer-reviewed journal - Performance Enhancement & Health. The journal critically explores the health implications of performance enhancement on the human being, from steroid doping in elite athletes, right through to amphetamine use amongst truck drivers. Performance Enhancement & Health boasts a wide-ranging appeal that extends from social scientists through to healthcare workers and those working in physical or sporting fields. As a multidisciplinary journal it provides fascinating food for thought. With the 2012 Olympic Games only just ended, the debate continues over performance enhancement in sport. Performance enhancement is not only unique to athletes however. Performance enhancement can be pharmacological, genetic, psychological or technological and may be linked to identity, social capital or pleasure, as well as productivity. Health is envisaged broadly as absence of disease, optimal functioning, and (personal or community) well-being. Performance Enhancement & Health therefore examines the implications of performance enhancement on the human condition both in the sporting arena and beyond. The journal's co-editors, Dr Jason Mazanov of the University of New South Wales and Associate Professor Frances Quirk of James Cook University, identified the need for a specific forum for scholars to discuss the role and impact of performance enhancement in society. Mazanov and Quirk's aims in producing Performance Enhancement & Health include exploring how the effort to enhance our human condition has influenced health, and developing a more worldly understanding of the performance enhancementhealth nexus. The first two issues of Performance Enhancement & Health (published in the remainder of 2012) will be made freely available. In 2013, the journal, consisting of 4 issues, can be ordered online at http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/725634/bibliographic.

New report analyses results from InformationWeek's 2012 Cloud Security and Risk survey - 17 Aug 2012
InformationWeek Reports, a service provider for peer-based IT research and analysis, has announced the release of its latest research report titled 'Cloud Security: Verify, Don't Trust.' The report analyses results from InformationWeek's 2012 Cloud Security and Risk survey. More than 360 business technology professionals responded to this poll. InformationWeek asked respondents to share their attitudes about cloud security and their approaches to assessing provider security controls, including the use of technical audits, vulnerability assessments and penetration tests. Survey participants were also asked about IT's use of auditing reports and documentation such as the SSAE 16 and the Cloud Security Alliance's CAIQ. About 55 percent of respondents that use or plan to use or are considering cloud services say unauthorised access to or leak of proprietary data is a top concern, trumping issues such as performance and vendor lock-in. About 20 percent say cloud providers have superior security controls. Other findings reveal that 35 percent perform or plan to perform vulnerability assessments of cloud providers; another 5% do so or will do so even though their contract with the provider forbids it. About 28 percent run or will run at least one mission-critical application in the cloud. The report author, Michael Davis, is CEO of Savid Technologies, a security consulting firm. The report is available online for members to download at http://reports.informationweek.com/abstract/5/8978/Cloud-Computing/research-cloud-security-verify-don-t-trust.html?cid=rpt_press_rls

Apple, Publishers file opposition to Dept. of Justice settlement - 17 Aug 2012
Apple recently filed an opposition to the Department of Justice's proposed settlement with three publishers in its e-book price-fixing case, arguing that the company stands to be punished by the deal though it never 'participated in, encouraged, or sought to benefit from collusion,' and assailing a deal that would harm the company by nullifying contracts 'before a single document has been introduced into evidence.' The three publishers are: Hachette, Simon & Schuster and HarperCollins. Apple reportedly urged the court to do one of two things: approve a more narrowly focused settlement that bars collusion; or reserve final judgment on the settlement until the company has had their day in court. In addition to Apple, the two non-settling publishers - Penguin and Macmillan - also filed opposition briefs. The brief also prominently raises the outpouring of public comments against the settlement, noting that 92 percent (800 of 868) submissions came from 'actual market participants' who opposed the settlement, raising questions as to whether the deal is in the public interest.

McGraw-Hill Education appoints Stephen Laster as chief digital officer - 17 Aug 2012
McGraw-Hill Education, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., US, has announced the appointment of Stephen Laster as the company's chief digital officer. Laster will lead the company's digital initiatives, including creating compelling digital learning experiences for students and inspiring creative innovation across all aspects of the organisation. The appointment of Laster is the latest representation of McGraw-Hill Education's transformation from a provider of print-based education materials to a developer of digitally-based products and services. Laster joins the company from Harvard Business School, where he served as chief information officer since 2006. In that position, he transformed the school's technology organisation and delivered critical new systems and services, while establishing the school's first educational technology group focused on digital learning product development. Laster will report to Lloyd G. "Buzz" Waterhouse, McGraw-Hill Education's president and chief executive officer, as the process continues to establish McGraw-Hill Education as an independent, digital learning and education services company later this year.

International Journal for Equity in Health calls for papers for special series in Multimorbidity and Equity in Health - 17 Aug 2012
The International Journal for Equity in Health, published by open access publisher BioMed Central, is currently accepting submissions on Multimorbidity and Equity in Health for inclusion in a special series on the topic. Multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of health conditions in individuals and populations, is a phenomenon with high burden and high prevalence in persons and groups of disadvantaged circumstances, such as low socioeconomic status, immigrants, and ethnic/cultural minorities. This thematic series will accept papers on patterns and trends of multimorbidity inequity, variations in multimorbidity burden by social characteristics, and on the impact of multimoribity inequity on healthcare resource use and outcomes. The deadline for submission is December 1, 2012. A special 20 percent discount off the publication fee will be granted to papers accepted to this special series. International Journal for Equity in Health aims to improve the understanding of issues that influence the health of populations. This includes the discussion of political, policy-related, economic, social and health services-related influences, particularly with regard to systematic differences in distributions of one or more aspects of health in population groups defined demographically, geographically, or socially.
Dr. Dan Vaughn named new Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Manual & Manipulative Therapy - 17 Aug 2012
Academic publisher Maney Publishing, UK, has announced the appointment of Dr Dan Vaughn as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Manual & Manipulative Therapy (JMMT). Dr Vaughn will succeed Chad Cook, who has provided five years of service and strong leadership to the journal. Dan will work alongside Chad in 2012 before assuming full duties for the first issue of 2013. Chad will continue to sit on the Editorial Board of the journal and work as a reviewer. Dr Vaughn is based at the Physical Therapy Program at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, MI, where he has both teaching and clinical practice responsibilities. His research at Grand Valley State has focused on the efficacy of manual therapy interventions and the influence of therapeutic exercise on spinal posture. Dr Vaughn would like to see JMMT expand its scope of influence and recognition through acceptance into Medline and Web of Science; an expanded, international circulation; greater participation of entry-level PT students and manual therapy residency students in developing journal content; and enhancement of clinical science content that supports the practice of manual therapy. JMMT is the official journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists, The McKenzie Institute International, NZMPA, OMT Australia and CAMPT. Members of these societies benefit from bespoke access to the journal content.

Research institutions worldwide sign up for Swets and Mendeleys research productivity, collaboration and analytics tool - 17 Aug 2012
Information services provider Swets, Netherlands, and Mendeley, a UK-based startup, have announced that leading research universities and institutions around the world have signed up for the research productivity, collaboration and analytics tool developed by the companies. Mendeley Institutional Edition, the new tool for libraries from Swets and Mendeley, has already been adopted by several leading universities and institutes around the world. These early adopters have taken advantage of the deep insights Mendeley Institutional Edition provides to librarians, including what articles their researchers have published and what the reach of that research is. A dashboard displays what content is being read and matches the results with the licensed content provided by the library. Students and researchers get the benefits of a social discovery service combined with a reference manager and collaboration platform. The first institutions to adopt Mendeley Institutional Edition include VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland; University of Pittsburgh, University of Nevada (Reno); Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology; Forestry and Fisheries Research Council of Japan; University of Western Ontario; and several other institutions in the San Francisco Bay area and the East Coast of the USA. Mendeley Institutional Edition adds value to the researcher and librarian workflow. For researchers it provides a premium personal account to manage documents and bibliographies, as well as facilitating collaboration with other researchers across the world. For libraries, it provides an intuitive interface presenting new metrics on the reading, publishing and sharing behaviour of their users in real time, unlike traditional publisher usage statistics or the impact factor, which is delayed by up to 3 years.

I bought my epson printer cause it was on sale- didnt realize I would not get as much printing out of a cartirdge as my HP's as work- my bad- its cheap enough so I dont spend too much but if I print alot of coupons I go through it pretty quick.
It's a typical "necessary evil"...
By The Frugal Printer
from Matteson, IL
My Epson printer takes 3 color cartridges and 1 black. Of course, when one runs too low, the printer will not print anything. I think that the cartridges are way too expensive and don't last long. You may get a deal buying the printer, but you get taken to the cleaners when it comes to the cartridges.
epson black ink
By puzzler
from worcester MA
We are constantly buying ink for the Epson copier, and the ink is expensive and does not last very long at all. I use the printer to print out the daily New York Times crossword puzzle. I have the setting for the "black'' squares in the puzzle set on the lightest shade of grey, and I am still frequently at Staples buying more ink. It is not just the black ink that runs out, it's all of the colors. Looking to replace the printer with something more efficient and less expensive. So I guess I'm reviewing the printer as well as the ink!
It does a great job, Easy to install.

Comment posted Major success for Argyll and Bute Council education staff and for Kilmodan school by Crazy She-Bat.
I think the best people to enquire this with would be Head Teachers across Argyll & Bute and perhaps ask them to list the areas they have received help or have found QIOs and QIMs to actually have been a benefit to them.
I already know the thoughts of one area – so I would expect much silence to follow such a request.
Crazy She-Bat also commented

Friday's home-opening series for the Sacramento State baseball team, vs. UC Riverside, was interrupted by a bench-clearing brawl.
It appears on a force-out, a Riverside player was tagged out. He might have tried to grab the glove of a Sac State athlete, and a push or a shove later, the fight was under way.
Fans said the fight made the home-opener unforgettable.
"I was just shocked," said Dave Soto, the father of one of the Sacramento State players involved in the brawl.
"It's pretty surprising -- pretty entertaining," said George Whitson, a fan of the Hornets.
KCRA 3 was there when the fight broke out in the third inning.
Looking closer at the video, it appears the fight started when Riverside's Eddie Young got caught in a run-down.
As Young is tagged out, he appears to hold on to the glove of Sacramento State's Andrew Ayers.
Ayers pushes Young, then Young comes back and punches Ayers hard enough to knock his glasses off.

NSCoding Protocol Reference
Adopted by |
Various Cocoa classes |
Framework | /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework |
Availability | Available in OS X v10.0 and later. |
Companion guide | |
Declared in | NSObject.h |
The NSCoding
protocol declares the two methods that a class must implement so that instances of that class can be encoded and decoded. This capability provides the basis for archiving (where objects and other structures are stored on disk) and distribution (where objects are copied to different address spaces).
In keeping with object-oriented design principles, an object being encoded or decoded is responsible for encoding and decoding its instance variables. A coder instructs the object to do so by invoking encodeWithCoder:
or initWithCoder:
. encodeWithCoder:
instructs the object to encode its instance variables to the coder provided; an object can receive this method any number of times. initWithCoder:
instructs the object to initialize itself from data in the coder provided; as such, it replaces any other initialization method and is sent only once per object. Any object class that should be codable must adopt the NSCoding
protocol and implement its methods.
It is important to consider the possible types of archiving that a coder supports. On OS X version 10.2 and later, keyed archiving is preferred. You may, however, need to support classic archiving. For details, see Archives and Serializations Programming Guide.

EA, ESA, Institute of Play creating educational games via new non-profit GLASS Lab
EA, the ESA, and Institute of Play have joined forces to create GLASS Lab, a non-profit studio, which will create educational games for students. Funding for GLASS Lab in the sum of $10.3 million in grants, was awarded directly to the incentive from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The funding will allow GLASS Lab create new titles, and modify existing ones to help children learn skills which local and state school districts deem critical. Students will learn spatial reasoning skills, systems thinking, and other special skills which will help them prepare for college and, subsequently, a better career. GLASS Lab plans to make the titles available to students and schools for little or no cost. Thanks, Gamasutra.

Reader Responses to June 2012, "Museums and the Future"
Thank you very much for the many helpful responses we received to the June ITM posting, which was about attracting twenty- to forty-year-olds to the museum. We were extremely impressed with the overall thoughtfulness of your replies and are posting a number of them below. The advice most universally given was to combine social and educational experiences in new and interesting ways. We'll be working on that and other ideas.
Lynn Zelevansky
Dear Lynn:
I am the chair of communication studies at Grove City College, a small liberal arts college about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh. After reading your email inquiring for ideas on how to attract a younger demographic in the latest issue of "Inside the Museum," I wanted to see if you would be interested in a possible collaboration. I will be teaching couses in Research Methods and Persuasion Theory this fall and Research Methods and Visual Communication next spring, and I think it would be interesting for my students to tackle this problem of reaching millenials as a case study. We could create interview/focus group or survey protocols, create a video, write a blog or white paper, etc. I am open to any ideas you might have in how we can serve you best.
Thank you in advance for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Jennifer Scott
Dear Lynn,
I am responding to your "Inside the Museum" e-mail asking for feedback about ways to bring a younger demographic into the museum. As a 28-year-old professional in Pittsburgh, I talked to a few friends about ways we might be more engaged in the museum.
I am a big fan of the Natural History Museum, but have not been as big into the art side, even though I have a membership that allows me to experience both. So I tried to think of ways that would encourage me to be more interested in the things I wasn't already drawn to.
First, my young professional friends are always drawn to happy-hour or weekend events with a reasonable ticket price that allow us to mingle with other young professionals in a different environment than the run-of-the-mill bar. We aren't as able to spend the prices for galas and things like that, but events targeted at young professionals with cocktails and hors d'ouevres are a great way to bring us in the door.
Either in tandem with these events, or separate, a friend pointed out that we've been brought up with the theory that learning is fun and unless it's something that's we're SUPER interested, we aren't drawn to lectures and typical tours. A tour with a more focused interest that might be a little different "Artists and their muses" or something might be more interesting than just "Contemporary artists." Or even things like having a "scavenger hunt," trivia or other game-like way to explore the museum, where we are learning something in a more interactive way.
Also, having special events for members, or especially Facebook fans, allows for special behind-the-scenes type tours and experiences that bring in a wider range pf people to do something different than the everyday walk around the museum. The zoo does a lot of these kind of programs and they seem to be very successful.
Anyway, those are some of the biggest things we came up with. I'd love to see what ways the museum comes up with to bring in more young people. Even as a member, I'd love to be involved in more programs if more came along that were of interest to me. If I can give any other feedback, please feel free to contact me. Best of luck in your new endeavors.
Dear Lynn,
I found your newsletter very interesting. I am a former Pittsburgh resident who visits frequently (both my kids live there), which is why I am a subscriber to your newsletter. I am also a demographer and blog about demographics. (demomemo.blogspot.com)
I have a couple of ideas about how the museum could attract younger people–particularly singles. Offer an individual membership level that allows members to bring one guest (such as a date). This would make it easy for young adults to "go out" to the museum. Two, have weekly (or monthly) beer/wine tastings in various exhibit areas or parts of the museum(s)–shifting to a different area each week or month. At these tastings, have an expert present to (casually, not formally) discuss various pieces of art for anyone who wants to listen or ask questions.
Spontaneity, informality, and conviviality.
I appreciate your interest in the demographics.
Cheryl Russell
Dear Lynn,
I love this newsletter. Being privy to the thinking processes of the museum director is a wonderful opportunity. I work with a non-profit educational center and this issue is as relevant to our continuance as it is to the museum's. I read everyone. Thanks for the good articles.
Dear Lynn,
First of all, I'd like you to know how much I enjoy the "Inside the Museum" series. It's been insightful and it's nice to have more of a personal touch from our museum director.
I'd also like you to know that I am part of the so-called "Millennial" group (born 1982) and would like to caution you about setting too much store by what a consultant has told you various generational groups value and what their supposed frame of reference is. It's outrageously incorrect to state that "Millennials" (By the way, I hate that label!) "…have no recollection of life without computers or cell phones" – that statement would probably apply to the members of this group that are currently in high school, but certainly do not apply to the older members.
What would be beneficial would be to convene a focus group consisting of members of various generational groups to get their true feelings about what they value and what would get them in the door. I know one thing that definitely won't get me in the door is to hear that the director of the museum thinks that I have no idea what a phone attached to the wall is or that I don't want to pay for anything. It's insulting to read such generalizations about my generation. I assume you wouldn't be too happy if I wrote that you must be either a tree-hugging hippie or an anti-environmental corporate tool because you are obviously part of the Baby Boomer generation (of course, no personal offense meant).
I'm a paying member of the Carnegie Museums and would be happy to share my opinion in such a forum.
Best Regards,
Dear Lynn,
Interesting, but I'm personally mostly skeptical & unimpressed at these big generational generalities — Gen X & the whatevers will marry, have children & want enriching places to take their kids & in-laws to — just like the generations before them.
Please let's not base our cultural institutions on the short attention spans of video-gamed youth. It's too soon to be making these kind of overarching judgements . . .
With the Science Center — I've seen personally how kids are drawn to it — & OmniMax (same) & Warhol events, Carnegie is plenty hip to youth.
People who study these kinds of trends have already documented "Facebook burnout" . . . . Mindless attention to trivia is tiresome, and as a culture we'll get over it. Many of us already have. And who knows how soon we'll laugh off our fascination with "tweets" . . .
Dear Lynn,
First I must tell you I am a product of the Tam O'Shanter art classes from 1964-1968. As a high school art teacher from 1976-2010, I brought my students to the museum countless times. Dino-Mite Days provided a priceless experience to my Uniontown High school art students' and brought our Sign-o-saurus to life (pg 100 of the "yearbook"). So I consider Inside the Museum a letter from home. (I'd prefer, if published on the CMA website, you edit this next comment so not to unintentionally offend the easily offended: As recently elected president of the Uniontown Art Club, I look to the archives as one of many sources to help boost interest in the contemporary art scene to a membership leaning toward conservative/traditional views on art. Many of our members don't "get" modern art movements and some equate modernisn (i.e. technolgy in art…never!)to anarchy! Still, I look at these attitudes as lacking in education and first-hand interaction. I enjoy your head-on appr oach and look forward to more Inside the Museum.

A report from pgCon 2013
It might not have helped here, but many exploits would surely be prevented by using some sort of suid loader, something like sudo, to load binaries which have to run setuid root, rather than marking the binaries themselves. That way the loader could take care of most the little things you have to think of when playing with suid and the binary would have less things (though still enough) it could get wrong.
suid-binary vulnerabilities
Posted Oct 28, 2010 12:58 UTC (Thu) by cesarb (subscriber, #6266) [Link]
For instance, imagine if ping, instead of being setuid, called into dbus to load a helper daemon, and that helper daemon did all the actions which need root (in this example, sending pings). The part controlled by the user would limit itself to the user interface (showing one line per packet, doing the average calculations, and so on).
This way, the daemon is always run in a clean environment (the one dbus uses to launch daemons).
In the ping example, this also has the advantage that it makes it harder to avoid the restrictions on the minimum ping interval by running several instances of ping in parallel (no matter how many you run, they will talk to a single daemon, which can limit the ping rate per user or even globally).
Posted Oct 28, 2010 13:31 UTC (Thu) by michaeljt (subscriber, #39183) [Link]
Actually a clean environment was the main point of what I suggested above - i.e. using a setuid loader which can clean the environment (not just the environment as in setenv of course) before it loads your privileged binary. My worry with using dbus for this is that it requires a sizeable piece of infrastructure to be present and running properly in order to start your binary, which is fine for desktop use, but may not be appropriate for all situations.
Posted Oct 28, 2010 14:22 UTC (Thu) by marcH (subscriber, #57642) [Link]
Indeed setuid looks very much like a kludge
> For instance, imagine if ping, instead of being setuid, called into dbus to load a helper daemon,...
This looks like PolicyKit. Another setuid killer is setcap:
chmod u-s /bin/ping setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+ep' /bin/ping
Et voilà, all these LD_AUDIT holes are plugged without even upgrading glibc. Correct? If yes why isn't ping installed like this by default?
Posted Oct 28, 2010 14:58 UTC (Thu) by RobSeace (subscriber, #4435) [Link]
But, yeah, it'd still be better than giving them root, so yeah, why isn't this done if it's possible?

Or just enhance the kernel to enable socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMP) for unprivileged users, and scrutinize packets sent/received through the socket.

Actually, ping using D-Bus would be such a change that you would rather have new-secure-dbus-user-ping on one hand and good-old-insecure-root-ping on the other hand. Embedded and other single user systems can just run everything as root and use the old one.
If you are serious about security you really need a good IPC on multi-user systems... what would you use instead of D-BUS?
Posted Oct 31, 2010 15:18 UTC (Sun) by nlucas (subscriber, #33793) [Link]
It's too simple, so you could also solve this problem by making a static build of ping that can not load any shared library.
In my "non-security guy" perspective that would be enough for most environments.

I thought that with ELF there was no such thing as a pure statically linked binary.
Posted Nov 1, 2010 23:34 UTC (Mon) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link]
(Also, if pure statically-linked binaries cannot exist, what do you think /lib/ld-linux.so.2 is? If ELF interpreters don't count because they are technically shared objects and relocate themselves, /sbin/sln surely does. No relocation, no PT_INTERP: static as static comes, and on pretty much every system.)

/sbin/sln surely does. No relocation, no PT_INTERP: static as static comes, and on pretty much every system
I'm on Debian sid, and I don't have an executable called »sln« – not in /sbin, not anywhere. Am I missing something?

Party Leaders Weigh in on 10th District Attack Ads
Millions of Dollars of commercials attack Schneider and Dold. See five of the spots here and voice your own opinion.
Local Republican and Democratic Party leaders think 10th Congressional District voters are too smart to be influenced by all the negative advertising bombarding the local airwaves criticizing Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) and his Democratic opponent, Brad Schneider of Deerfield.
Nevertheless, both campaigns and a number of outside groups are investing millions of dollars in commercials betting state Sen. Susan Garrett (D-Lake Forest) and Moraine Township Republican Chair Lou Atsaves of Lake Forest are overestimating their neighbors.
Earlier: National Democrats Shine Spotlight on 10th
"The voters in this district are very smart and well educated. They will see through this to make their decisions," Garrett said in January when outside groups supporting Democratic primary candidate Ilya Sheyman were criticizing Schneider. She sees no difference now.
Though Atsaves is specifically critical about what he sees as distortions by Democrats about Dold's record, he nearly echoes Garrett's words. "The 10th District voter is far too smart to fall for these deliberate distortions," he said. "The National Democrats who put together these ads have seriously misread those voters."
Though the campaigns themselves are putting forth positive messages like Schneider's wife, Julie Dann, telling voters why her husband should be elected. Dold appears in a conversation with his mother as she tells people why she thinks her son is the best candidate.
Despite those spots, groups affiliated with the Democratic Party have committed to spending $2.4 million on three local races including the 10th District. Republican leaning groups are doing the same though Patch does not have specific dollar amounts.
See the Five Attack Ads Against Dold, Schneider
Patch has assembled five commercials with this story and sought the opinions of leaders of both parties. Some are critical of Schneider and others attack Dold. Wheeling Township Democratic Outreach Chair Renee Shapiro blames laws which now allow unlimited spending.
"If our fellow suburbanites are sick and tired of the sheer amount of these political ads they have no one to blame but the conservative Supreme Court and the Tea Party-controlled House," Shapiro said. "Without them the faulty Citizens United decisions would not be allowing millionaires to try and buy Rep. Dold's re-election,"
Shapiro did not mention the millions being spent by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the DCCC's independent expenditure arm, the House Majority Pac or the Service Employees International Union on behalf of Schneider.
Commercial Ties Dold to Walsh
A series of the Democratic leaning ads labels Dold as a Tea Party Republican and attempts to tie him to Tea Party favorite Rep. Joe Walsh (R-McHenry) running in the 8th Congressional District. New Trier Township Republican Committeeman Bill Cadigan is quick to call it a false distortion.
"Bob Dold is the kind of fiscal conservative and social moderate our area likes to send as its voice in Washington," Cadigan said. "While many politicians on both sides like to shout across the aisle at one another, Bob is always ready to work with anyone with good ideas to grow our economy and create jobs."
Shields Township Democratic Chairman Carol Jones of Lake Forest discounts the effectiveness of the advertising. She does think they will help highlight what she considers an attack on women by many members of the Republican Party. She did not mention Dold by name.
"I can't believe the videos are persuading many people," Jones said. "As a woman, I am appalled at the war declared on women by the right. So maybe a few more (commercials) linking Walsh's outrageous comments to the whole party is a good idea."
One commercial attacks Schneider for running as a businessman when the financial disclosures he has filed with Congress do not show evidence of significant income. Dold has disclosed tax returns and Schneider has not causing Atsaves to discount the negative message in that spot.
"The Business Background ads about Schneider fairly highlight his refusal to disclose his business activities since January of 2010 and his refusal to disclose his tax returns," Atsaves said. "His refusal to become more transparent about himself and his background legitimizes those questions."

Brad's ad saying Dold wants to drill 'in' Lake Michigan is clearly off base - he wants to drill 'under' Lake Michigan (from the side, its called directional drilling). Dold's ad saying Brad doesn't have any business experience the past two years is also misleading. Sure Brad's solo consulting business didn't operate in 2011 or 2012 - dude was running for congress!
12:46 pm on Monday, October 22, 2012
....and Dold picks a part of a sentence for his ad about borrowing. Schneider really said...".I would borrow money all day long, if the cost of borrowing is less than the expected return".
Pretty crummy when you take the beginning of a sentence and only quote that part when the rest of the sentence completes the statement. Selective out of context campaigning, kind of like Dold's suddenly 'moderate' stance.
1:21 pm on Monday, October 22, 2012
"and he should know social security is not taxed" Sorry but whoever told you this isn't telling the truth. Ask the IRS or anybody on SS.
When you leave comments that are not true it invalidates anything else you may have to say. I suggest you check your facts before you post again.
Also people tend to tune out posters that repeat the same thing over and over and over again. Whenever I see your name I know that there will be an accusation about his company not paying overtime. Either provide a copy/link to proof (and someone said... is not proof) or stop using the internet to hide your identity and spread falsehoods.

rorkesdrift...ask Dold himself. He will be happy to answer...after all he is for openess and dialogue, right? He has nothing to hide...like this lawsuit never mentioned before:
(you all know about the rest of them by now...the only onse not knowing are those hypocrites who will vote for Dold and don't want to know nothing bad about Dold.
