Microsofts Driving Into a New Race
Microsofts Driving Into a New Race
John Taschek
Posted 2001-05-14
Microsoft has long been expected to enter the content management space once occupied by some high-flying companies but now populated mostly by has-beens.
Microsoft has long been expected to enter the content management space once occupied by some high-flying companies but now populated mostly by has-beens. Its not that the space is bad; its just that there are fewer companies and less need for software to handle tracking content and customers. A lot of horrible installation stories, missed payments and overall customer dissatisfaction didnt help, either. Microsoft is going to change all that with the purchase of NCompass Labsat least thats what Microsoft officials are saying. Microsoft has been making some waves with content management for yearsevolving FrontPage into something more than just a content-creation package and beefing up Commerce Server and SharePoint. The entire .Net initiative would seem to embrace this market. But Microsoft in the past relied on partners to do the actual management of the content, which by far is the potentially more lucrative business.
As far as purchases go, the acquisition of NCompass is pretty small$36 million for an entire company with about 150 customers, even if some of them include Texaco and Verizon. Apparently, these were really small, department-size installations.
Imagine if content management king Vignette, with its multimillion- dollar implementation fees, had 150 more customers, each paying millions of dollars. The company wouldnt have lost several million this quarter and been forced to lay off what amounts to the entire staff of NCompass. Vignette and Microsoft obviously are in completely different segments of the market. Microsoft, interestingly, firmly believes that it is going to be a full-fledged competitor to Vignette as well as to Interwoven and BroadVision. It seems to me that this is not unlike a Honda del Sol-driving chump who thinks he can take on the racers in the Indianapolis 500. Microsoft is also still partners with Vignette and Interwoven, but I suspect that these relationships became strained when Vignette struck some deals with Sun, and Interwoven struck some more with IBM. The strain must have become unbearable when Interwoven and Vignette pursued a Java-centric attitude and only supported Windows NT and Windows 2000 with a nonstrategic, cover-the-bases attitude.
"They werent taking advantage of some of Microsofts innovations," a Microsoft official said. Clearly, this is because most vendors cant support two-pronged development efforts and need to pick the one they think is most strategic. It wasnt Microsoft. NCompass Labs is different. It offers completely Windows-centric products, and it focuses on time to deployment. In other words, it fits right into Microsofts mold. Now the question is whether it fits into ours.

Title: | An Adaptive Reputation-based Trust Model For Intelligent Agents In E-marketplace |
Author: | You, Liangjun |
Abstract: | In the emerging Electronic Marketplace, intelligent agents that are reactive, proactive and social will become the major players. These intelligent agents will search for good deals, evaluate trading partners and eventually provide advice on or even make decisions on transactions for their principals. To this end, it is vitally important for the agents to be able to precisely estimate the trust of the business partners to make successful deals. This dissertation proposes an adaptive reputation-based trust model which can be utilized by intelligent agents in an open Electronic Marketplace, where the seller agents and buyer agents can enter and leave the market freely and the service quality and price of goods vary. The trust model is based on an agent's reputation history, witness testimony, and other weighting factors. Learning is integrated to make the trust model adaptive and robust in a dynamic environment. To verify the proposed adaptive reputation-based trust model and the significance of the constructs and factors of the model and to compare the performance of the proposed model with other models, a multi-agent system is built to simulate the interactions among these agents. |

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 4
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gregtx71 Nice Product for your Boat
I purchased this a few weeks ago, along with the Lowrance HDS7. I installed the HDS, got all working then installed the SonicHub. Spent 3 hours trying to get it too power on. Went step by step, rechecked everything no luck. Finally had to call technical support, they informed me that i needed the NEMA 2000 Starter kit for the system to work. Spent another 60 dollars to get the starter kit, once installed system came right up.
If you purchase this system be sure to order the NEMA 2000 starter kit or it will not work. It never tells you this in the instructions.
Overall it is very nice to have on the boat and sounds really good.

Can I use this as a stand alone stereo? I want to upgrade my stereo in my boat. Will this package run a 10" Alpine subwoofer and four 6" speakers?Answers
I am not sure about the stand alone stereo, but it will run the four speakers and the subwoofer. It has an amplified lead for the subwoofer. They also have RCA plugs to add other modules to it for example sirrus radio/weather.A:
I don't think so.Answers
The Lowrance SonicHub™ is designed to work only with the Lowrance HDS® systems.Answers
Yes, you have to have the NEMA 2000 starter kit before you can use the sonic hub on your HDS system. You have to purchase the sirrus/weather antenna that connects to the back of the sonic hub. You should be ready after that.A:
Yes but you have to hook it up the LSS1 or expantion port.A:
A NMEA 2000 network starter kit is required. If you already have a NMEA network system, you are good to go. This is not the same as an Ethernet network.A:
I can now answer my own question. One also needs to purchase the Lowrance LWX-1 Sirius Audio & Weather Antenna. And if going to use the radio feature of the LWX-1, also purchase a Headphone/Computer Speaker Extension Cord and an Audio Y-Cable. The Extension Cord plugs into the side of the LWX-1 interface and the Y-Cable into the (L) & (R) satellite inputs of the SonicHub. The instructions provided with both the SonicHub and the LWX-1 are not at all clear on how to make the audio for the radio work.Answers

Those of you who are about to invest in DLP front projection are gonna love this review, and those of you who bought in six months ago are gonna hate it. We all know technology marches relentlessly forward, but even the computer industry thinks what's happening in the front-projection market is over the top. In Issue 55, I reviewed what was then a "bargain" HD2+ DLP projector—and it was priced at $8000. Here we are a year later, and I've got two projectors on hand—both using the same Texas Instruments advanced HD2+ digital light processing (DLP) chip—that retail for under $5000! O.K., the InFocus ScreenPlay 7205 is only a buck under at $4999, but BenQ's PE7700 is only $3000. These projectors aren't equipped with the very latest HD2+ chip, the DarkChip3, but these are still price points we're not used to seeing with premium chipsets.
The ScreenPlay 7205 isn't going to win any awards for design aesthetics. It's pretty much a silver rectangle, with vents on the sides for cooling and a handy carrying handle in case you go mobile. Zoom and focus are adjusted manually on the barrel of the lens as opposed to electronically by remote, but, really, the only feature found on more expensive DLP projectors that I missed during setup was vertical lens shift, the lack of which means you have to more carefully align the lens with the top or bottom of the screen—or prop the projector up with something. (An elevator foot is included to prop up the front of the projector if the unit is situated below the screen, but since nothing is provided to prop up the rear of the projector if it's located above the bottom of the screen, I got literary and used a book.) Keystone correction can be applied, but since this can result in picture artifacts, you should try to minimize or eliminate its use.
For connectivity the 7205 is well equipped, with two HD-capable component inputs and a DVI input. I'd like to see an HDMI input or another DVI, but since DLPs costing a lot more money don't have multiple DVI/HDMI inputs, I can't complain too much. InFocus has stuck with the M1-DA DVI connector, which works with analog or digital signals, over the typical DVI-D connector. InFocus, Dell, HP, and Hitachi are among the very few manufacturers using this connector, and InFocus supplies a pigtail adapter on request. (Maybe there are some boardroom guys who are really stoked on the M1-DA out there somewhere.For home-theater apps, I don't get it.)
The 7205 features Faroudja's outstanding deinterlacing with 3-2 pulldown for film-based sources and Faroudja's DCDi technology for video-based ones,. Another nifty feature allows users to choose a 48Hz deinterlacing mode for film-based sources instead of the traditional 60Hz rate. A 48Hz rate translates to 48 frames per second—a perfect multiple of film's 24 frames per second. This potentially offers more fluid motion by eliminating the temporal distortion created by repeating frames in a 3-2 sequence, as is required to display 24 fps film at 60 frames per second.
Another interesting option in the menus was the ability to choose a gamma curve patterned after CRT displays. While the FILM gamma curve looked very good, I actually found the CRT curve to be more filmlike than the FILM setting! Also in the gamma menu is a setting called WHITE PEAKING that cranks up the bright whites. I zeroed that sucker out—even with the HIGH POWER lamp setting turned off this projector was plenty bright.
Three user presets are provided for storing and recalling picture adjustments, which should be adequate. Using the 7205 on a day-to-day basis is an absolute joy, thanks to a well-designed remote and one of the most refreshingly straightforward and intuitive on-screen menus systems I've encountered. The remote is very compact with backlit buttons. In addition to four menu navigation buttons, it includes BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST controls and four numbered buttons that can be programmed for direct access to sources. A RESIZE button cycles through aspect ratios, which are intuitively named for once: 16:9, 4:3, Letterbox. It's amazing how easy a component can be to use when the manufacturer makes intelligent use of terminology! This remote is a marvelous marriage of economy and function.
I used the Arcam FMJ DV29 DVD player and a Samsung SIR-TS160 DirecTV high-def set-top box (STB) with both the InFocus and BenQ projectors (via HDMI and component video). The InFocus 7205 has a very bright, high-contrast picture that does little to give away the fact that it is a "budget" HD2+ projector. While some aspects of its images aren't quite as refined as the better $10k-and-up projectors, the truth is I almost had too much fun watching the damned thing to worry about finding the few nits that could be picked! When projectors have greater light output at the top end, they invariably have brighter blacks, too. With displays, there's no free lunch— if high light output is your goal, you're going to pay for it in lighter, washed-out blacks. But I've also noticed that the HD2+ chip set from TI seems to have been a watershed for DLPs projectors, improving blacks and contrast ratio to a degree that surprised me.

Lee believes Home can be proud in defeat
Home United coach Lee Lim-saeng believes his side were unlucky to lose 1-0 to Tampines Rovers in Friday's Great Eastern-YEO's S.League clash.
By Gabriel Tan
Follow @@gabetan13Although his side dominated proceedings at the Jalan Besar Stadium from the opening whistle and had many excellent scoring chances, they ultimately ended up on the losing side after opposition captain Mustafic Fahrudin fired home a 63rd-minute penalty.
The spot-kick had been awarded after Firdaus Idros had handled a goal-bound header by Seiji Kaneko on the line; the Protectors winger receiving a straight red card in the process.
However, Lee refused to get overly disappointed by the result and believes Home had been the better side, even when they were down to ten men.
"I'm actually very happy with the performance!" he said to open his post-match press conference.
"My players did their best and I cannot blame them. The final result is my fault.
"Even when we were playing with ten men, I thought we were the better side. I don't think anyone who watched the game would disagree."
The ex-Korea Republic international, who played at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, also refused to blame either Firdaus or referee Abdul Malik Bashir for the former's sending-off.
"As always in football, many things can happen on the pitch," Lee added.
"But as a coach, I should respect the referee's decision."
A recurring theme in Lee's post-match press conferences last season was his constant referring to his 'homework', the term he used to refer to areas his side needed to work on in training.
Throughout 2012, the main problem stemmed from Home's defensive inadequacies but despite their shaky start to the current campaign, the fact he had not mentioned his 'homework' at all was a clear sign that there have been many positives so far.
Nonetheless, it emerged again on Friday as Lee admitted he needs to find a way to get the best out of new striker Masato Fukui, who has struggled to impress since moving from Japan.
"He [Fukui] played as a striker in the first three games but couldn't score," he explained. "I think his confidence went down as a result but I try to give him encouragement.
"He has soft emotions but he has to be strong on the pitch. This is my homework - to improve his level of performance.
"He may be a foreign player but I think he has to show more respect to the opposition defenders. Also, he didn't play the last two games [through suspension] and maybe he needed to get used to the pace of the game again."
The Protectors are now 6th on the table with seven points from six games, but intriguingly have a positive goal difference despite losing half their matches so far.

What Makes Amazon Redshift Faster Than Hive?
I'm not implying that this question appeared on Quora after my link and comments about Redshift's performance and costs at AirBnb, but Reynold Xin's answer covers in a more formal way the reasons of Redshift being faster than Hive I've suggested in that post:
Some of the advantages you gain from massive scale and flexibility make it challenging to build a more performant query engine. The following outlines how various features (or lack of features) influences performance:
- data format
- task launch overhead (nb: this can be optimized in Hive/Hadoop)
- intermediate data materialization vs pipelining
- columnar data format
- columnar query engine
- faster S3 connection

Writing Hive UDFs With Java - a Tutorial
Alexander Dean's tutorial published in SDJ:
In this article you will learn how to write a user-defined function ("UDF") to work with the Apache Hive platform. We will start gently with an introduction to Hive, then move on to developing the UDF and writing tests for it. We will write our UDF in Java, but use Scala's SBT as our build tool and write our tests in Scala with Specs2.
As far as I know it's quite easy to write UDFs for Pig and Hive in any language that has a JVM implementation (Python with Jython, Ruby with JRuby, Groovy).

Hadoop in 2013: What Hortonworks Will Focus On
Shaun Connolly summarizing a recent webinar about where Hortonwork's work on Hadoop will focus in 2013:
[…] Interactive Query, Business Continuity (DR, Snapshots, etc.), Secure Access, as well as ongoing investments in Data Integration, Management (i.e. Ambari), and Online Data (i.e. HBase).
[…] Rather than abandon the Apache Hive community, Hortonworks is focused on working in the community to optimize Hive's ability to serve big data exploration and interactive query in support of important BI use cases. Moreover, we are focused on enabling Hive to take advantage of YARN in Apache Hadoop 2.0, which will help ensure fast query workloads don't compete for resources with the other jobs running in the cluster. Enabling Hadoop to predictably support enterprise workloads that span Batch, Interactive, and Online use cases is an important area of focus for us.
Basically this says that Hortonworks sees YARN and Hive as the answer to online or real-time interactive querying of Hadoop data. Cloudera's take on this is different.

It Is About Apache Hive, but What Is a SerDe?
The original title of the article is "How-to: Use a SerDe in Apache Hive", so I knew it was something about Hive, but still had no idea what SerDe is:
The SerDe interface allows you to instruct Hive as to how a record should be processed. A SerDe is a combination of a Serializer and a Deserializer (hence, Ser-De). The Deserializer interface takes a string or binary representation of a record, and translates it into a Java object that Hive can manipulate. The Serializer, however, will take a Java object that Hive has been working with, and turn it into something that Hive can write to HDFS or another supported system. Commonly, Deserializers are used at query time to execute SELECT statements, and Serializers are used when writing data, such as through an INSERT-SELECT statement.
On one side we have the Spring frameworks with names like PreAuthenticatedGrantedAuthoritiesWebAuthenticationDetails
1, then we have YouAreDeadException
and end with SerDe
. No middle ground in the Java world.
Jacek found this Spring class name which has 59 characters. His post is from 2011, so who knows if there isn't a longer one since then. ↩

What Is the Spring Data Project?
Short answer: another sign that the Spring framework wants to do everything everywhere. A mammoth1.
Version 1.0 was released in 2004 as a lightweight alternative to Enterprise Java Beans (EJB). Since, then Spring has expanded into many other areas of enterprise development, such as enterprise integration (Spring Integration), batch processing (Spring Batch), web development (Spring MVC, Spring Webflow), security (Spring Security). Spring continues to push the envelope for mobile applications (Spring Mobile), social media (Spring Social), rich web applications (Spring MVC, s2js Javascript libraries), and NoSQL data access(Spring Data).
The complete pipeline can be implemented using Spring for Apache Hadoop along with Spring Integration and Spring Batch. However, Hadoop has its own set of challenges which the Spring for Apache Hadoop project is designed to address. Like all Spring projects, it leverages the Spring Framework to provide a consistent structure and simplify writing Hadoop applications. For example, Hadoop applications rely heavily on command shell tools. So applications end up being a hodge-podge of Perl, Python, Ruby, and bash scripts. Spring for Apache Hadoop, provides a dedicated XML namespace for configuring Hadoop jobs with embedded scripting features and support for Hive and Pig.
There's a business reason for doing this though: when you have tons of clients you want to make sure they don't have a chance to step outside. Is this new year resolution a heresy : I plan to use vastly less Spring this year? ↩

Hive Top-K Optimization
A simple optimization of top-k queries that can make a huge difference: going from the default behavior of:
- sifting through all the data (necessary),
- sorting it all (necessary),
- writing all the results to disk (unnecessary—saving all the
results from eachmap
is enough), and - having the reducer process again all the data (unnecessary—the previous step already reduced the amount of data down to the
* number_of_partitions).
For reference a top-k query is:
SELECT * FROM T ORDER BY a DESC LIMIT 10

Pig Performance and Optimization Analysis
Although Pig is designed as a data flow language, it supports all the functionalities required by TPC-H; thus it makes sense to use TPC-H to benchmark Pig's performance. Below is the final result.

Hortonworks Data Platform 1.0
Hortonworks has announced the 1.0 release of the Hortonworks Data Platform prior to the Hadoop Summit 2012 together with a lot of supporting quotes from companies like Attunity, Dataguise, Datameer, Karmasphere, Kognitio, MarkLogic, Microsoft, NetApp, StackIQ, Syncsort, Talend, 10gen, Teradata, and VMware.
Some info points:
Hortonworks Data Platform is a platform meant to simplify the installation, integration, management, and use of Apache Hadoop
- HDP 1.0 is based on Apache Hadoop 1.0
- Apache Ambari is used for installation and provisioning
- The same Apache Amabari is behind the Hortonworks Management Console
- For Data integration, HDP offers WebHDFS, HCatalog APIs, and Talend Open Studio
- Apache HCatalog is the solution offering metadata and table management
Hortonworks Data Platform is 100% open source—I really appreciate Hortonworks's dedication to the Apache Hadoop project and open source community
- HDP comes with 3 levels of support subscriptions, pricing starting at $12500/year for a 10 nodes cluster
One of the most interesting aspects of the Hortonworks Data Platform release is that the high-availability (HA) option for HDP is based on using VMWare-powered virtual machines for the NameNode and JobTracker. My first thought about this approach is that it was chosen to strengthen a partnership with VMWare. On the other hand, Hadoop 2.0 contains already a new highly-available version of the NameNode (Cloudera Hadoop Distribution uses this solution) and VMWare has bigger plans for a virtualization-friendly Hadoop environment with project Serengeti.
You can read a lot of posts about this announcement, but you'll find all the details in Hortonworks's John Kreisa's post here and the PR announcement.

Using R With Cassandra Through JDBC or Hive
A short post by Jake Luciani listing 2 R modules—RJDBC module and RCassandra—that enable using R with Cassandra through either the JDBC or Hive drivers.
This is a good example of what I meant by designing products with openness and integration in mind.

Housing: Bubble Trouble or Staying the Course?
There is a lot of speculation that residential real estate markets are in a bubble. Certainly there is cause for concern: The rates of gains in prices over the past year are unsustainable, and a bit disturbing. We are seeing multiple offers on a huge percentage of homes that are sold, and buyers are racing to make offers.
Sustained strong real estate markets are usually driven by household formation, or an increase in the percentage of the population that owns a home. Neither is happening. read more »
Taking Flight from Asia
Viewed from a 50-year perspective, the rise of East Asia has been the most significant economic achievement of the past half century. But in many ways, this upward trajectory is slowing, and could even reverse. Simply put, affluence has led many Asians to question its cost, in terms of family and personal life, and is sparking a largely high-end hegira to slower-growing but, perhaps, more pleasant, locales. read more »

Where Are The Boomers Headed? Not Back To The City
Perhaps no urban legend has played as long and loudly as the notion that "empty nesters" are abandoning their dull lives in the suburbs for the excitement of inner city living. This meme has been most recently celebrated in the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal.
Both stories, citing research by the real estate brokerage Redfin, maintained that over the last decade a net 1 million boomers (born born between 1945 and 1964) have moved into the city core from the surrounding area. "Aging boomers," the Post gushed, now "opt for the city life." It's enough to warm the cockles of a downtown real-estate speculator's heart, and perhaps nudge some subsidies from city officials anxious to secure their downtown dreams. read more »
My Presence Is a Provocation
The urbanist internet has been a ga ga over an article by artist and musician David Byrne (photo credit: Wikipedia) called "If the 1% stifles New York's creative talent, I'm out of here." Now David Byrne himself is at least a cultural 1%er, and at with a reported net worth of $45 million, isn't exactly hurting for cash. In fairness to him, he forthrightly admits he's rich. He also is bullish on the positive changes in New York in areas like public safety, transportation, and parks, and does not fall prey to romanticizing the bad old days of the 70s and 80s. However, in his assigning blame for New York's affordability, he points the finger squarely at Wall Street, neglecting the role he himself played in bringing about the changes he decries, changes in which he was more than a passive participant. read more »

Junior Seau was completely sober when he shot himself in the chest back in May ... and his cause of death has been ruled as a suicide ... this according to the San Diego medical examiner.
TMZ obtained the autopsy report, filed by Deputy Medical Examiner Craig Nelson ... which shows Seau died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest from a .357 caliber revolver on May 2, 2012.
The report also shows "No alcohol, common drugs of abuse, or other medications were detected."
However, a small amount of Zolpidem (aka ambien) and Naproxen (an anti-inflammatory) were detected ... but the M.E. says test results were "consistent with therapeutic use."
The report notes that Seau's brain tissue was sent to the National Institutes of Health at the request of his family.
According to the report, Junior did not leave a suicide note.
Ambien is not a joke! Itook a half of a pill and passed out before I could make it up stairs. My dreams were colorful like I was on an acid trip. I was in a cartoon flying on rainbows and being chased my pink bears. I woke up on the kitchen floor and had pulled all of the pots and pans out pf the cabinets and was lying in the middle of the floor. NEVER AGAIN!
I can't even begin to fathom how awful the decision to commit suicide is, nonetheless completely sober. You have to be REALLY hopeless. RIP.
Again, I suggest we turn this into a discussion about mental illness. This is a man who suffered. He was successful in a profession that doesn't want to acknowledge Mental Illness or Brain Disorders.
Very sad, I'm sorry for his family. I'm sad to say he relieved his pain in the only way he know how
What you found maybe "consistent with therapeutic use" but they also cause some people to want to commit suicide especially when they have head injuries.
I took 2 Ambien a few years ago - i tried to kill myself (im not suicidal). I ended up in the hospital after
A. Trying to kill myself
B. Getting into my car at 3am to drive away so nobody could find me apparently (i made in 12 seconds down the road and crashed into a pole)
C. Attacked a cop
I'm a peaceful person who won't drive after having 2 beers.
Ambien is such a powerful drug that makes some people do crazy things.
People need to research ambien. Doctors prescribe it, but it's highly addictive. It's worse than Heroin to kick (sounds nuts i know but look it up)
My ex husband commited suicide and shot himself in the head 3 years ago. He also had no drugs or alcohol in his system when they performed his toxicology report, but had been self medicating with both for years. he had actually been on a bender for about a week leading up to his suicide, drinking and eating valium like it was going out of style. So baffling that one could actually follow through with this and not have an altered mind is beyond me. It's so sad either way
He drank nightly. Even the people with him the day before were drinking with him. This tells me he was loaded. As we all in San Diego knew, he had serious drinking and drug problems and he was near broke.
I'm betting the brain tissue analysis will come back as Post-Concussion Syndrome. Often the drug and alcohol use is just an attempt to self-medicate for the symptoms of PCS.

text: Hacked car driven remotely via iPhone Autopia 11 November 09 by Michael Conroy Tweet Waterloo Labs An engineering A-Team that calls itself Waterloo Labs has modded a 1990 Oldsmobile Delta '88 to be controlled remotely with an iPhone, using not much more than some off-the-shelf electronics, WiFi equipment and a generous dose of hacker ingenuity.The battered sedan is certainly no KITT, but it might as well have been modded with one.Having procured Wendy (the hapless vehicle) for just $300, the energetic engineers took four weeks to complete the project. After stripping Wendy, DC motors from the power windows were repurposed to work the accelerator, brake and rotate the steering column. Two ¾-inch wrenches attached to the motors provide the leverage necessary to work the pedals, while the steering wheel was replaced completely with a sprocket and chain driven by the third DC motor. The three systems are all controlled by an embedded controller that in turn receives commands over wireless Ethernet.The headline-grabbers are clearly the control systems. Take your pick: an iPhone app that operates much the same as the steering wheel from Mario Kart Wii, or a toy car hacked so that its movements are mimicked by its big sister?Waterloo Labs clearly had some fun with this project, as evidenced by their motosurfing, Myth Busters level of enthusiasm and ambitious plans for remote-controlled tailpipe flames:"The problem with [the design] is that the flame can chase back up into the propane tank and blow up unpredictably. Now don't get me wrong, we are all about explosions, but we prefer it when we can control them," blogged a team member. "We live dangerously, not stupidly."That's debateable: check out one of their other projects, FPS with Real Guns.

Henderson turns focus to England U-21s
Jordan Henderson put his celebrations on hold almost immediately after Liverpool's Carling Cup final victory over Cardiff on Sunday to focus on England Under-21s.
Henderson will captain the side for Wednesday night's Euro 2013 qualifier against Belgium in Middlesbrough, where a win will ensure them top spot in Group Eight and a place in the play-offs.
The 21-year-old midfielder was one of several Liverpool players to leave a joyful dressing room at Wembley following their penalty shoot-out win and head immediately out on international duty, arriving in his native north-east late on Sunday night.
While the emotions of Sunday are still running high, Henderson insists his focus is on the next job in hand.
"This is a massive game for the Under-21s, and as captain of the side I need to lead by example," he said.
With regular Under-21s boss Stuart Pearce taking charge of the senior England team against Holland at Wembley, Brian Eastick will take the reins at the Riverside, assisted by a coaching staff that includes Everton's Phil Neville as he gains some valuable coaching experience.
But Henderson insists it has been business as usual even without 'Psycho' around.
"It hasn't been much different to be honest," he said.
"Obviously Stuart is a great role model to people but we're professionals and we can do it ourselves.
"Brian's been around for every game I can remember so it's not much different."
While Pearce called on the likes of Fraizer Campbell for his senior squad, the once-capped Henderson had to make do with another turn of duty at youth level.
Although he is itching for another chance with the senior team, Henderson shrugged off any disappointment to focus on Wednesday's task.
"I don't think it was on my mind, to be honest," he said of a senior call-up.
"I knew we had an important game on Wednesday with the Under-21s and I was focused on that.
"Obviously everyone wants to play in the senior team, and I'm no different. But this is a big game for the 21s, I'm captain and I'm looking forward to it."

Sony launched the original PlayStation Portable in December 2004 in Japan. Seven years ago the design of the PSP was super sexy with the glossy widescreen and the black case. Yesterday Sony unveiled the next generation PSP dubbed PS Vita. The PS Vita has stunning hardware specifications. The highlights include quad-core CPU, 5-inch OLED display, quad-core graphics and a backside touch pad. The PS Vita has mind-blowing performance, but comes in an only slightly updated packaging. With 18.6mm it is just a fat black brick that looks out-dated when put next to most tablets on the market today. Sony's own upcoming tablets S1 and S2 do look sexy. Sony still knows how to do it, but failed in my opinion to induce the "must have" into the PS Vita.
The name also is not great. I find it too soft for something that has the most performance of any portable gaming console. Unless Sony is revising the PS Vita until launch I do not see major demand passed hard-core gamers and early adopting Sony fanboys. Apple will be able to continue grab market share from Sony in the mobile gaming space, especially as an iPod touch or even more an iPhone have much more usage value beyond gaming. For most casual gamers the performance of the iOS devices is enough. Sony might be even in more trouble in case Apple decides to aggressively go after hard-core gamers with a special iPod touch for gamers. An iPod touch with performance that comes close to the PS Vita would kill the PS Vita in its tracks.

The Ontario Pesticides Act - and Regulation 63/09 under the act - provide a regulatory framework for managing pesticides.
The Ministry of the Environment provides education and training on responsible pesticide use and monitors and enforces compliance. The act also regulates transportation, storage and disposal of pesticides. Licenses are required for selling pesticides, applying them or for operating pesticide applicators. Among the act's requirements:
The Cosmetic Pesticides Ban has been added as an amendment to the Pesticides Act in April 2009 as part of the Ontario government's plan to reduce public exposure to pesticides. The ban was created to apply to cosmetic use of pesticides to control weeds and insects as this presents an unnecessary risk to small children and pets - especially given the non-toxic alternatives available.

Kill nephtis easy - Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner
Print this Edd lansbury posted:
Jan 7th 2004, ID#6087 Kill nephtis easy
You need to complete the game once so you get to have all subweapons at the begining
When you encounter nephtis for the first time she will have a shield use DECOY and hit her back (behind her)
Also when you fight nephtis in the energy plant (with th CLODS) grab a clod and wait until she charges you.
Shield yourself with the clod and she will charge the clod instead then this is a very good time to use the HOMING MISSILES because her shield will be diactivated.

A weight loss thread for all
It was 28c (air temp) when I was out cycling but early morning I think the north sea water temp felt more like 12c.
I have not had chips for months, the cafe stop on the cycle ride had a chip shop next door which I did not notice until I was leaving there and I cycled past a number of other chip shops
Had a good few days back on the chips and a new 2.4 mile swim pb.
Pitty about the DNF on Ironman Wales at 97 miles on the cycle after missing the cut off time. Plus on top of that gained 4lbs these last 2 weeks.
Still ill from Wales, as today I made a healthier cheese free pizza with 5 fruit and veg on as toppings.Brand new line in the sand starts Tuesday with only 8 months to the next Ironman, after my DNF in Ironman Wales (links to my race report).
Busy on here recently.
Down the 3lbs this week, who knew eating vegetables would be good for you?

Support for Students Exposed to Trauma
The SSET Program
Exposure to community and interpersonal violence is a public health crisis that adversely affects many children in American communities. After witnessing or experiencing trauma, many children experience symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and depression, behavioral problems, substance abuse, and poor school performance. The Support for Students Exposed to Trauma (SSET) program is a series of ten lessons whose structured approach aims to reduce distress resulting from exposure to trauma. Designed to be implemented by teachers or school counselors in groups of 8–10 middle school students, the program includes a wide variety of skill-building techniques geared toward changing maladaptive thoughts and promoting positive behaviors. It is also intended to increase levels of peer and parent support for affected students.
Designed for SSET group leaders, the Group Leader Training Manual introduces the SSET concept and provides detailed information on selecting student participants, scheduling lessons, assuring confidentiality, coordinating with clinical backup, managing difficult situations and issues, and conducting group meetings. The Lesson Plans section supplies group leader preparation information and in-depth plans for each lesson, including agendas, example scenarios, suggestions for troubleshooting specific problems, homework assignment instructions, and cross-references to other program documentation. Take-home worksheets, letters to parents, forms, and other program materials are supplied in the section entitled Lesson Worksheets and Materials.

Abandoned City Hall Subway Station
New York City, December 2013
My girlfriend's father works for the MTA in New York and took us on a special train to stop at this beautiful piece of history. It was one of the first subway stations built in the city back in 1904, making it well over 100 years old. It shut down in 1945 because it was only handling about 600 passengers per day. Since then, it has sat practically untouched from the public. There's still black paint over the skylights to prevent the possibility of a German air raid destroying the subways. It was eerie to be standing there, but so incredibly fascinating as well.
I am completely flattered that some of my photographs made it on Tumblr's Year In Review for 2013. I guess all of my hard work staying up until 3 in the morning with Netflix and 5 tabs of tumblr open really paid off!
But in all seriousness, thank you. This was a bit humbling for me.

They arrived in person to receive the Kennedy Center Honors in a ceremony hosted by President Obama in Washington D.C.. Jack Black introduced the band and Heart joined by Jason Bonham, son of the late Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, on "Stairway to Heaven."
Obama joked, "These guys also redefined the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. We do not have video of this.... But there was some hotel rooms trashed and mayhem all around. So it's fitting that we're doing this in a room with windows that are about 3 inches thick -- and Secret Service all around. So, guys, just settle down. These paintings are valuable."
Buddy Guy, David Letterman and Dustin Hoffman were also honored.

Related to Efika MXRelated to specificationsThe Efika MX Smarttop is a low-power, high-performance computer based around the Freescale i.MX515 ARM Cortex-A8™ System-on-Chip. The system ships with 512MB MobileDDR2 RAM, Wireless, Bluetooth (select models), SD card slot, high quality audio support and HDMI video output.
This page aims to expand on the peripheral and IO support of the board, along with hints to documentation on the various components for Operating System and Software developers.
There exist three revisions of the Smarttop, using different Tape-Out (TO) revisions of the i.MX515;
In general Genesi refers to the 1.1 board as "TO2" and the 1.2 board as "TO3". The revision 1.0 board is very rare and Genesi offers only limited support for this model.
The i.MX515 TO2 has a known errata which causes the Cortex-A8 NEON vector unit to misbehave, and as such the Linux kernel will not report it as supporting NEON code, in order to preserve system stability. This errata was fixed in TO3.
Older Efika MX models shipped with a version of U-Boot which was hardcoded to load a 'uImage' kernel file from the first FAT partition on SD card or PATA disk. A U-Boot update is available which modifies this behavior to load a script from any supported filesystem (ext2, fat) and dynamically load a kernel and ramdisk to boot Linux or other operating systems. The update is in the form of a bootable SD card and can be found on the Linux Support link to the left of this document.
The MX51 PATA controller is connected to a 4GB (TO2), 8GB (TO3) NAND SSD device. The SSD module is not removable on TO2 units. On TO3 units the SSD is connected by a ZIF PATA connector standard in 1.8" Microdrives.
Provides SDHC card access, tested up to 16GB. MMC memory cards operate at reduced speed.
The Smarttop provides an ASIX USB Ethernet controller connected to the Dual-Role USB controller internally. Additionally a Ralink RT3070 USB wireless card is provided for 802.11b/g/n wireless networking.
The Smarttop provides headphone and microphone connections via standard 3.5" phono connectors, connected to the SGTL5000 audio codec from Freescale. This offers extremely high quality sound output. The production Efika MX models support a small internal mono speaker when no headphone or speakers are connected. Audio clocks are gated while audio is not playing, saving power.
HDMI audio output is provided by I2S (relay from SGTL5000) and SPDIF (i.MX SPDIF TX). Only SPDIF is supported due to the difficulties in synchronizing sample rates and audio enabling across Linux Audio and Framebuffer subsystems.

Corsicana —
A marker for the Montgomery Hill graves relocated to Woodland Cemetery has been put in place, and now only awaits a Texas Historical marker.
A year ago, the graves of 25 people who are believed to have been former slaves or their descendants, were moved from the shores of Richland Chambers Reservoir, and after a temporary stay in the police evidence room, were reburied at Woodland Cemetery in May 2012.
The small cemetery of mostly children and babies had been revealed by a drought in 2009 that caused the lake's shore to recede. But as rains returned, the waterline threatened to reclaim the site, and state archeologists rushed to remove the bones.
Now, local residents have decided to add a concrete walkway around the plots and the markers. The obstacle is the estimated $2,500 to $3,000 cost.
"We're going to do a fundraiser to pay for the walkway," explained Ruby Williams, councilwoman for Precinct 2.
The fundraiser will be a luncheon from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 12 at the city's annex building.
The cost will be $8 for a dinner of either ham or baked chicken, along with pinto beans, cabbage, green beans, salad, desert, and tea.

NEW YORK (AP) — Paul Stanley of Kiss wants to shout it out loud: The band is miffed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for not inducting members Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer along with the original lineup.
Cardiff (United Kingdom) (AFP) - Wales inflicted Scotland's heaviest Six Nations defeat with a crushing 51-3 victory at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on Saturday. The Scots never recovered from having to play nearly an hour a man down after full-back Stuart Hogg was sent off for a late tackle on Wales fly-half Dan Biggar. The visitors, seeking a first win in Cardiff in 12 years, took an early lead but from then on it was one-way traffic as Wales, unable to win a third successive title following last week's 29-18 defeat by England, took complete control of their final match of the 2014 Championship. This was Scotland's third heaviest Test defeat of all time, with their previous worst in the Six Nations a 43-3 thrashing by England in 2001.

A license can be granted without any written agreement. It happens more often than you might think. For example, a license by verbal agreement and a "course of conduct" was granted by one party in the case of Planification-Organisation-Publications Systèmes (POPS) Ltée and Elizabeth Posada v. 9054-8181 Québec Inc., 2013 FC 427. In that case, the lack of a written agreement was irrelevant. The court found that there was an "implied" license. The next question was whether that license could be revoked or terminated? The software owner asserted it was entitled to revoke the licence that it had previously granted, because that licence had been granted for no consideration (or "à titre gracieux" - sounds better in French).
The court disagreed. It's true that a license granted for no value or no consideration can be revoked unilaterally. The B.C. Court of Appeal came to this conclusion in Katz (c.o.b. Michael Katz Associates) v. Cytrynbaum, [1983] B.C.J. No. 2421 (C.A.), where an architect revoked consent to the transfer of copyright where it was given without any consideration. However, in the Planification decision, the court found significant value had been transferred over many years by the licensee, though it was never documented in writing as "consideration" for the grant of a license. This came in the form of "conceptual contributions" to the software, software testing, compensation for developers, contributions of macros and other inputs for the software.

Home > Research Legal Advice > Workers Compensation > Slip and fall- I fell at work in a freezer that has a broken fan & other...
order in, that they came out, they said that the issue was only condensation and so the issue wasnt fixed. I then fell several months later due to the same problem that they sent a work order in for, immediately after i fell they sent another work order, someone came out the very next day but it has been almost two months and the issue is still not fixed. Everyday at work i fear going into the freezer because i have almost fell again repeatedly, do i need a lawyer at all?
Usually lawyers do not get involved until there is an injury. However as a worker you have the right to a safe workplace. The law requires employers to provide their employees with working conditions that are free of known dangers. Your employer is probably aware of the unsafe condition, but make sure to notify them that it is dangerous and that it has caused you to fall and presents a risk of serious injury (god forbid someone slips and hits their head). In California Cal/OSHA is responsible for enforcing all occupational safety and health standards and regulations. You can file a claim with them at http://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/Enforcementpage.htm
Yes. You should consult a good worker's comp attorney and possibly some government entities like Cal OSHA regarding what appears to be a willful disregard for the safety of others. If you have any injuries, you need a workers comp lawyer asap. I don't do comp law, but have a great referral if you need one. Feel free to contact me: 310-477-0404
Agree with the attorneys above.
No damages no case yet. This would be workers compensation case.
You should write a letter to your employer to address this issue that why it is documented that they have notice... notice is important for slip and fall cases. (prior notice and warnings)
But if you get injured and the negligence included a 3rd party as well, for example the maintenance company than you can have a civil tort case as well.
Also, Cal/OSHA is responsible for enforcing all occupational safety and health standards and regulations. You can file a claim with them.
GOOD-LUCK! v :)
In addition to contacting OSHA, you may also provide a written notice to your employer confirming your concerns about a potential unsafe working condition. But first consult with a local attorney about your rights if fired.
