May Joey's fighting pitbulls mistake him for the neighbor's pony
May Joey be plowed down at the LOS by Teddy Ginn
May Joey the malignancy infect NE
May Levi Jones's posse punk Joey while he's dancing shirtless at his favorite jockstrap bar
Wisdom from a "QB Whisperer::
"No we have our FRANCHISE QB and I want to keep him rather than get 2 guys who may or may not be productive NFL players.
Palmer's situation is different and if I had my choice between Palmer and buttfumble, I'd take buttfumble"
Porter is as worthless as Cameron Worrell.
Day 12. Still no team. Joey sucks.
Porter blows.
Joey Porter is aging by the second, and a LB in a steep decline. He sucks.

From PFT/Florio:
A-Hole, as typical, put his foot in his mouth during his "Escape From Miami" tour. Pizzed and moaned about being used as a situational player but apparently that's now much of the league's perception of him. And the teams that might be on the fence about him starting are thinking: "Why bother? He's not worth the predictable risk, distraction and dissention if The Fins, who know him best, are in fact right!"Joey Porter remains available
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on March 16, 2010 9:51 AM ET
Joey Porter continues to wait.
It's been more than a month since the Dolphins first tried to release Porter, eleven days since they actually did, and five days since his visit to the Cardinals. There have been no more visits, and no reported interest outside of some early chatter about Buffalo.
Cardinals G.M. Rod Graves spoke to Porter's agent Monday, but "no deal is imminent" according to the Cardinals website.
Porter may be waiting for a better offer -- if he even has an offer -- but it doesn't appear like there are many options for him. The Cardinals make too much sense because of their location out West and the staff's history with Porter.
And if it wasn't clear already, J Peezy is no longer in high demand.
Day 13. Still no team. Conclusion: Joey sucks.
Porter sucks.

Most wireless network security is now based on 802.1X, EAP, and RADIUS. Wireless networks often drive the adoption of RADIUS. Even though it's been around for what seems like forever, I've frequently had to assist in setting up a new RADIUS system before installing a wireless network.
Many wireless networks need to authenticate users against a Windows user database. In the Windows world, a RADIUS server can look up accounts in one of two ways. An operating system call can fetch user credentials from the security subsystem, or the request can get passed over the network to look up accounts. The local system call option is straightforward. If the RADIUS server is installed on a domain controller, the server process issues a system call, gets the user credentials, and does the authentication.
Installing software on a domain controller can be hard, though. Domain controllers are very important, so when they run, most people are reluctant to touch them in any way. The larger the organization is, the more likely it is that there will be change control procedures that get in the way, too. So, the net is that there's a built-in preference to use network-based user credential lookup.
In Windows NT domains, the network protocols have been thoroughly reverse engineered by the Samba team, and the understanding they've given the world has allowed any RADIUS server vendor to look up NT domain accounts over the network, even from a Unix process. For example, the Radiator data sheet lists "Native Windows NT user database and domains (even from Unix!)" as a supported authentication method.
In an Active Directory network, the protocols are still closed. Microsoft's Internet Authentication Server (IAS) can fetch credentials across the network using Active Directory communications, but no other RADIUS server can build that function. Instead, they need to run on a domain controller, pass the request down to the authentication subsystem on the domain controller, which then sends the lookup request through Active Directory. As an illustration, the previously-linked Radiator data sheet notes that Active Directory lookup is only possible on Windows 2000.
(As an aside, the Active Directory indirection creates a cost advantage for the Microsoft RADIUS server in most installations. Both third-party RADIUS servers and IAS need to run on Windows Server, but IAS has no additional cost over the Windows Server license.)
So, network administrators have a choice: use IAS, use a third-party RADIUS server on a domain controller, or run Active Directory in compatibility mode. The last option is generally not viable for many reasons. The bottom line is that if you want to use Active Directory for user accounts, be prepared to dedicate a domain controller for it, or run Microsoft's IAS.
Practically speaking, if you need to talk to a Windows user database, the need to run third-party RADIUS servers on a domain controller effectively prevents them from running on anything other than Windows. (It also helps make IAS more attractive, but that's another post entirely.) At least one RADIUS server vendor has an "appliance" that is based on Windows 2000–I wonder if the need to talk to talk to Active Directory figured in to choosing the operating system platform?

There are no games today for your Calgary Flames. But the team did have an optional practice, which has heavily skewed towards the younger players in terms of attendance. With a bit of a slower day around here, why not a quick run-through of what's going on.
Regarding TJ Galiardi
Justin Azevedo

You can hardly go into a comments section nowadays without seeing some mention of TJ Galiardi - and most of them are, uh, not what one would call "positive".
Post Game: So It Goes
March 10 2014 10:34PM
Tonight's game may be encapsulated by Joe Colborne beating out a defender but over-skating the puck - the effort's there, not the execution.
— Ryan Pike (@RyanNPike) March 11, 2014
The march towards slow, grim death steadies on with a consistent cadence, and on this night, the Los Angeles Kings rolled into town to aid in this ominous reality for your Calgary Flames.
To call this game a pretty one would be to call the works of Thomas Pynchon a study in eternal whimsy. Choppy play. Sustained action lasting sometimes almost as long as 8 seconds. A Ben Stein pace. That's what this game between storied Pacific Division rivals amounted to in this one, and if you missed it, life is good.
Sure, watching the kids can be fun. A vision of the future not falling flat on their face is an encouraging sign. But when you're missing Stajan, Hudler, Glencross, Wideman, Jones (okay, not Jones), and have Lance Bouma on the first line (look we all love Boumer, but let's be honest here), these are the kinds of games we're going to see. Tonight, it was watching the Kings and former Calgary Hitmen standout Marty Jones choke even just a little bit more life out of the Flames season, and well, let's just land on "it'll all be over soon".
FGD: A Royal Rematch
Ryan Pike
March 10 2014 01:29PM
A couple weeks back, the Calgary Flames hosted the Los Angeles Kings in their first game back from the Olympics. That was a rusty Flames team that couldn't solve goalie Jonathan Quick, and lost 2-0. Since then, the team's been rather energized by a bunch of recalls.
The pesky Flames boast eight rookies right now - Joni Ortio, Sean Monahan, Joe Colborne, Markus Granlund, Max Reinhart, Tyler Wotherspoon, Ben Hanowski and Corban Knight. While Abbotsford's line-up is decimated, but at least the organization is able to actually evaluate guys at the NHL level, playing against NHL teams fighting for their playoff lives. (And Edmonton.)
Now the Kings are back, and the Flames should be motivated to prove that they can score a goal - or even beat - the Kings, who played the night before up in Shelbyville.

Let's kick off the week in hockey with a quick shout-out to Matt Stajan and his wife, Katie. They're obviously going through a rough time and our thoughts and well-wishes go out to them.
The hockey world meanwhile, keeps a-turnin'. NCAA conference playoffs are underway. Junior playoffs loom. And everything else chugs along

Developing Imaging Applications with XIElib
Author: Syd Logan
Publisher: Prentice Hall

Reviewer: Michael J. Hammel
Computer graphics have come a long way for Linux users in the past two years. Applications of all kinds have started to show up in many places, coming from both the Open Source community as well as commercial vendors. One reason for this recent growth is the flexibility and extensibility of the native windowing system: the X Window System, also known as X11. Although end users are the eventual benefactors of this flexibility, it is the development side of Linux that will be most interested in one of X11's least-known extensions—the X Image Extension.
The X Image Extension, as the name implies, is not part of the core X11 distribution, although any system using X11 Release 6 (aka X11R6) should have this extension included. The X Image Extension, more commonly known as XIE, provides a mechanism for graphic image management in the client/server environment of X11. Image decompression, for example, can be handled on the server side (the display side) instead of overloading clients with this common and resource-consuming task.
Some time back, the author of Developing Imaging Applications with XIElib, Syd Logan, contacted me about this extension and recommended the GIMP developers take a look at it. At the time, I was modestly involved in GIMP development, back in the very early days when the GIMP was still a Motif application. XIE never really seemed to catch on in the developer community for the GIMP. Perhaps it was simply because no text was available from which to learn the API (the applications programming interface or the interface into XIE's software library). It may also have been due to the fact that not all developers were on Linux at the time and not all UNIX vendors had migrated to X11R6, a situation that continues to this day.
Despite the GIMP not using XIE, I've still been interested in what XIE is all about. What can it be used for? How difficult is adding it to an existing application? Does it help solve some of the more mundane problems in computer graphics, or is it more focused on specific types of problems?
Syd's book is well-organized and provides answers to most of these questions. The text is thick—well over 600 pages—with chapters ranging from introductions to existing image handling methods in Xlib to the nuts and bolts of XIE's API and its underlying data structures. The chapters flow from an overview of the XIE architecture into high-level concepts such as "photoflo elements" and image file formats to more detailed descriptions of using "process elements" to do format conversions and the use of "techniques", the algorithms used by the server side for image processing.
Even with my self-taught experience in graphics terminology, I discovered XIE has a whole new set of terms to learn. A fairly complete glossary of these terms is included at the end of the text, but you'll find Syd's definitions within the text to be a better source of information. He does a good job explaining new terms quickly and fitting them into the larger picture that is XIE.
Accompanying the text is a CD with a modest bit of sample code from the text. The README on the CD is quite extensive and should be read before trying to build or run any of the software on the CD. Some of the files on the CD do not have read permissions for anyone but the file owner, so you'll have to copy the files from the CD as the root user and then do a chown/chmod sequence to get them installed properly.
The libtiff and jpeg libraries, required to build the XIE samples, don't build easily from the CD. I downloaded the latest libtiff source from the FTP sites specified in the README file (found in the libtiff directory on the CD) and replaced the old version with the new version. I couldn't do that with the JPEG library, because the main archive location of ftp//ftp.uu.net/ doesn't allow connections from dial-up hosts whose names don't resolve in DNS. So, I grabbed the source from the GIMP server (ftp//ftp.gimp.org/pub/libs/). The new versions built much more easily. I did not, however, install these libraries on my system, as I already had working versions installed. The /xiesamples directory hard codes the library paths to these image libraries (libtiff and libjpeg) to be relative to the samples directory. I simply built the libraries and then renamed the default directories (from the archive files) to the directories expected by the XIE CD software. After this, the CD software built fine.
The sample software under the /xiesamples directory covers most, if not all, examples from the text. Since all of the sample clients on the CD were written on Linux, they all built fine (after updating the two libraries described previously). Programs here are small examples of the base features of XIE as described in the text. From the README file on the CD:
Most of the samples work with gray-scale JPEGs, a few work with CCITT images stored in TIFF files, PGM, PPM, color JPEGs, or raw SingleBand (gray-scale) images.
Unfortunately, I had problems running these sample programs on my system. After rereading the README file, I discovered some of the samples work only on 8-bit PseudoColor visuals. I have my system running in TrueColor mode. Take a look at the README file for explanations of each sample; it will tell you if you can specify a visual and/or the type of color map to use. However, in my limited tests, the only sample program I was able to run under a TrueColor visual was the backendtest program.
Chapter 2 has a fairly good discussion on using Xlib for image manipulation for anyone who had problems understanding it from the O'Reilly Xlib manuals. This text is a programming guide, not a reference guide. To my knowledge, a printed reference guide for XIE is not yet available.
Throughout the text, Syd provides examples of how to make XIE API calls, including well-commented data structures used in the API. It's obvious Syd understands the ins and outs of the API. He provides extensive source code examples—I hardly went through three pages without seeing at least one snippet of code.
Plenty of gray-scale example images are printed in the text, and at least a few of these lose some of their impact without color. An eight-page color gallery is in the center of the book. However, these images are useful only for explaining some general graphics terminology and techniques and are not really descriptive of XIE itself.
I found Chapter 15 to be one of the best chapters simply because of its application to other graphics areas. Color space conversion is a common task and one that is not well-supported by many Linux graphics applications. For example, three paragraphs into this chapter, I learned that
YCbCr images represent color and luminosity as separate channels in the image. Humans are more sensitive to changes in luminosity than to changes in color, [so] compression algorithms can apply greater compression ratios to the color bands than are applied to the luminance band (Y) without degrading the perceptible quality of the image.
This sort of information, while explaining why certain color spaces are supported by XIE, also provides definitions that are applicable to other color management tools.
One issue not covered well in this text is how XIE might be used, if it can be used, with tools like OpenGL or Mesa. It might not make sense to combine the two, but there doesn't seem to be any mention of how XIE fits into the overall X11 collection of core features, extensions and third-party graphics libraries.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

With The Timothy Bradley Fight Official, Manny Pacquiao Gets His Sternest Test On Paper In Years
Manny Pacquiao, in November of 2010, got more of a fight than many anticipated from Antonio Margarito. The next November, he got his hardest fight in nearly four years, from Juan Manuel Marquez -- a rematch many predicted would be a total mismatch because Pacquiao had grown so much physically and technically, whereas Marquez had only gotten older since they last fought on such even terms back in 2008. Now, for the first time since Pacquiao rose to his present level of superstardom by beating Oscar De La Hoya three years ago, he is taking his fight that is actually expected to be competitive: On June 9, he faces Timothy Bradley. After agreeing to terms weeks ago, the fight was officially announced Tuesday and tickets go on sale Friday.
That Bradley is expected to give Pacquiao such a challenge says as much about Pacquiao as it does Bradley. There's a wide perception that Pacquiao's incredible run as the world's best fighter is slowing down as he ages, and might already have expired; Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has reclaimed the title in many pound-for-pound lists. And Bradley has some assets that make him particularly dangerous -- he is a crafty boxer, a trait Marquez has used to confound Pacquiao repeatedly, and he's a young, hungry, gritty character who has never lost a fight and is widely thought to be no worse than one of the 10 best fighters in any weight class.
With Pacquiao-Bradley and Mayweather's next fight against Miguel Cotto, the usual caveat applies: That Pacquiao and Mayweather aren't fighting each other, when it would be the biggest and most meaningful fight in decades, remains a black mark on the sport itself. And Bradley was, really, Pacquiao's last viable choice -- he is an unknown outside of boxing circles, but well-known within them for an aesthetically displeasing boxing style and an inability to sell tickets.
But at least Pacquiao-Bradley has competitive elements in theory that haven't graced a Pacquiao fight in a long while. As with Mayweather-Cotto, this isn't the fight we should be getting, but it's better than some of the other horrible options, and has merits of its own.
For those who don't know Bradley... you're not alone. Bradley recently switched promoters to Top Rank -- not at all coincidentally, Pacquiao's promoter --- after floundering under Gary Shaw, unable to sell tickets even in his home turf in California. Shaw, along with powerful manager Cameron Dunkin, did manage to get Bradley on Showtime a bunch, and then got him threee undeservedly lucrative paydays on HBO/HBO pay-per-view. He was in one of last year's least enjoyable and most debacle-like fights, a head butt-induced technical decision win over Devon Alexander in a meeting of two of America's then-brightest young talents. In his most recent fight, his first with Top Rank, he appeared on the Pacquiao-Marquez undercard and easily defeated ancient Joel Casamayor.
The Top Rank idea was to build up Bradley as an eventual opponent for Pacquiao, after he got more name recognition and became an attraction -- a difficult prospect, given that some of the distinguishing characteristics of Bradley's fighting style are a general roughness and tendency to head butt. But at least Bradley was talented, and an American, and had a nice smile, and a reasonably charismatic personality and could maybe somehow tap into the black fandom market that has atrophied over the years. The plan to match the two was accelerated when Pacquiao couldn't secure Cotto for rematch, and when Marquez, too, proved difficult to get an agreement for another rematch.
For Bradley's part, this fight is the culmination of a huge gamble that has paid off, despite skepticism from some (including myself) that it would work out so well. Last year, Bradley had called out Amir Khan, the best available junior welterweight after Alexander, and had been offered a career-high payday for the fight. But Bradley said no, saying he was eager to leave Shaw, and instead sat out until he could legally break free of his old promoter. The decision came under considerable criticism. But now he'll get an even bigger payday against Pacquiao, in a fight that, should he win it, would make him pretty big-time. Even if he loses, he'll be more well-known than ever, just by virtue of sharing the big ol' spotlight Pacquiao inhabits.
Pacquiao, meanwhile, takes this fight as talk of his boxing career ending is louder than ever. Against Margarito, then against Shane Mosley, then in his last fight against Marquez, some have detected increasing signs that Pacquiao has exited his prime. He himself admits that he has struggled with some injuries, like a tendency for his legs to cramp, and that recovering from them takes longer than it used to. As a congressman in the Philippines, he has aspirations for higher office still -- like governor, and, perhaps, president.
The Pacquiao team, led by trainer Freddie Roach, are talking up how worried they are that Pacquiao won't be enthused about this fight given Bradley's low profile, how distracted he is looking forward to his next move away from boxing, etc. Maybe they're legitimate concerns, maybe they're trying to make the fight more competitive than it actually is. It's not as if Pacquiao doesn't have a lot of advantages in this fight. He's proven more effective at welterweight than Bradley, whose test fight there in 2010 didn't impress too much; he's obviously more experienced; he's more offensively gifted; and more.
But Bradley is a tough dude. Any time someone's turned the pressure up on him, Bradley has found that extra gear -- he doesn't get outworked in fights. He has some boxing skill, even if his degree of polish varies from fight to fight. He may not hit very hard, but he is quite fast, and I'm struggling to think of a time Pacquiao faced anyone this quick. And lastly, while he'll tell you the head butts are accidental, they happen in his bouts so much more often than they do in any other boxer's that it can't be a coincidence. What that means is Bradley will take every advantage of the rules in a fight, even if that includes bending the rules sometimes.
We'll see if the fight does very well with pay-per-view buys -- Bradley's relative anonymity could hurt there. But if we're not going to get Pacquiao-Mayweather, at least we're getting a product in the ring that offers some measure of hope of uncertainty. There's more uncertainty here than with Mayweather-Cotto, too. In the exhausting, ongoing Pacquiao-Mayweather proxy war, score this round for Pacquiao on the pure boxing merits.

MORGANTOWN - West Virginia's in-house investigation into the accusations against Joe DeForest will be done "quickly, but thoroughly'' and will concentrate only on the period since DeForest was hired by WVU, a source told the Gazette Monday.
The university was notified in general of the allegations last week by one of the Sports Illustrated writers working on the piece, which will begin this morning on SI.com and continue in five parts.
DeForest, West Virginia's special teams coach, is a key figure in the Sports Illustrated investigative report, alleging a broad range of improprieties at Oklahoma State while he was an assistant coach there. DeForest is accused of running a bonus program that paid Cowboys players for specific plays.
The report also alleges that both coaches and boosters paid athletes at Oklahoma State, including paying them for jobs not performed or overpaying them, in addition to the pay-for-plays accusations. According to SI, players were paid as much as $500 at a time for game performances and as much as $10,000 a year in various ways.
It also alleges academic fraud, drug use and hostesses in the Orange Pride program providing sex to recruits. DeForest, according to the report, was involved in influencing those hostesses in addition to paying players.
The alleged improprieties occurred primarily between 2001 and 2007 under head coaches Les Miles and Mike Gundy, but continued in some fashion as late as 2011. DeForest was an assistant coach at Oklahoma State during all of that period, primarily as a safeties coach and special teams coordinator.
DeForest, who was hired by WVU coach Dana Holgorsen in January of 2012 as his defensive coordinator and associate head coach, denied the accusations to The Oklahoman newspaper when the story broke Saturday, but has not spoken to the media since then. At least one report claims that DeForest said that he paid players for work at his house, not for on-field performance.
West Virginia officials began their investigation Monday by speaking to current players on the WVU football team. In the coming days they are expected to contact former players who played since DeForest arrived at West Virginia. That's a fairly short list given that he arrived in January of 2012 and has been at the school just one full season.
The players are being questioned about several of the accusations leveled at both DeForest and Oklahoma State. That would include being paid for play, as well as perhaps being paid for bogus jobs. WVU does not have a hostess program.
The source said as far as WVU is concerned, the football program is clean, but will investigate nonetheless.
Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder held a press conference Monday to address the allegations and told reporters that until he sees the Sports Illustrated report, he doesn't know everything. The school has notified the NCAA.
"I don't know a lot of specifics," Holder said in a story in the Tulsa World. "I know a little bit. I know enough to be very concerned. . . . [SI's reporting team] believe what they're about to write to be true.
"Our goal is to separate fact from fiction and then we can start dealing with it. We've already notified the NCAA and they're going to assign an investigator to this. We'll reach out and get someone to stand with that investigator to go through the facts.''
Holder also said Monday that he had reached out to the other Big 12 athletic directors to let them know what was going on. WVU athletic director Oliver Luck confirmed that he had talked to Holder, but wouldn't say anything more about the situation than he did Saturday, when he announced the school's own investigation.

This item may be Check for Availability This title in other editionsA Bigamist's Daughterby Alice McDermott
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Elizabeth Connelly sits in a New York office that looks like a real editor's, but isn't quite. Employed at a vanity press, Elizabeth watches the real world — of real struggles, passion, pain, and love — spin around her. Until one day, a young writer comes to her with a novel about a man who loves more than one woman at once. And suddenly Elizabeth will be awakened from her young urban professional slumber — by a man's real touch, by a real story in search of an ending, by the unraveling of the greatest masquerade of all — in Alice McDermott's luminous novels of memory, revelation, and desire.
Review:"This is nothing less than a brilliant first novel. Elizabeth Connelly is an editor at a vanity press who has seen everything and has few illusions about any of it. A young man then brings her an unfinished novel about a bigamist. The story is based on fact, and Elizabeth begins to wonder, at a given moment, whether her own father—whose mysterious, lengthy absences scarred her childhood—might have led a life like that of the bigamist in the young writer's novel. A love affair between writer and editor ensues; some mysteries are resolved, some remain. Splendid." Reviewed by Andrew Witmer, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)

Bad Times
Between Past and Future
Men in Dark Times
Thinkers who are original and profound often mask their ideas in a style, not so much of prose as of thought, that is opaque to all but the most determined reader. This is obvious in the work of, say, Kant; and opacity of style may produce those long-lasting ambiguities that provide rich material for the work of the commentator. If Miss Arendt's work survives—and it is surely more likely to survive than that of most other contemporary writers on politics—we may well find that the darkness of her thought attracts a multitude of commentators.
It is not even clear that the most polemical of her works, Eichmann in Jerusalem, has a central and controlling argument. What were execrated by the work's enemies were not what may be its central theses, for these they did not understand nor try to understand. (One thesis was, I believe, that thinking one is in the right entails that there is such a thing as being in the right; and that men who think they are in the right in killing the innocent are not thereby exculpated; on the contrary, a man who believes in his heart that he acts rightly in killing a man because he is a Jew or a bourgeois or a Communist is much worse than a man who acts out of fear or sloth, knowing in his heart that what he does is monstrously wicked. Sincerity is not a virtue and is not even admirable as such.) They raised questions about the nature and truth of the illustrative material, a diversion that could not have been indulged so easily had the central arguments been clearer.
But could they have been clearer? My own formulation of one of them could easily be challenged; and even if I am roughly right, this one is hard for contemporary men to take. Out of the mouths of our babes and sucklings come the notions that moral judgments express features of dispensable culture patterns, that what all men do is what they must do, that the category of punishment is a relic of barbarism. If the children are corrupt, it is we who are the sophistical agents of corruption.
When, therefore, a notable scourge of sophistry, or one who would be this, to wit, Miss Arendt, arises, we are tempted to think she too is a sophist or to talk about something else. But there she is, blocking the road, stubborn, Gothic, simple where we look to find the complexity, complex where we expect platitudes, an admirer of many styles of thought and life and yet, surely, in the end a pessimist, a defender of reaction, one who aches with nostalgia for a dead political order. These are immediate possible responses to Miss Arendt's work. Certainly, it is work to which no one can remain indifferent. What gives it its power and its measure of truth is a question worth asking, for if we can go some distance toward answering …

City-Wide Wifi
Submitted by pegwole in Technology
How many times have you been out and about with your laptop and thought "Oh hey I need to look something up" or "Joe from work sent me an important email that I need to read" but there aren't any open wifi networks or you can't affor to pay for the wifi in places like Starbucks? Well I think this city could use a city-wide wifi network for it's citizens. I wouldn't expect to be enjoying a high bandwidth connection, but it should be enough for people to chek email, check social networking sites such as twitter, facebook, or myspace. We live in the 21st century, why doesn't our city?
This might be
This might be relevant:
Minnesota provided its own internet infrastructure and was sued by its local telco -- but the supremes supported Minnesota in this case, which would provide us a good precedent, if we decided to do the same.

Washington, DC - 04/20/2011 - Matt Rand, director of global shark conservation for the Pew Environment Group, issued the following statement today in response to the Chilean Senate passage of Chile's first-ever ban on shark finning, requiring that ships catching sharks have to land them with their fins naturally attached (meaning that the shark's whole body must be taken to port). The Chamber of Deputies is expected to begin consideration of the bill in a few weeks."By this vote, the Chilean Senate is ending the wasteful practice of shark finning. Once agreed to by the Chamber of Deputies and signed into law, this ban will have positive impacts for marine life far beyond the southern cone of South America.""Around the globe, up to 73 million sharks are killed every year primarily for their fins, which are most often consumed in Asia in shark fin soup. Sharks grow slowly, mature late and produce few young over long lifetimes; this unsustainable fishing practice is decimating shark populations worldwide and disrupting the balance of life in the world's oceans."Chilean waters, fed by the Humboldt Current, are known for the diversity of their marine life. An estimated 53 shark species live in these waters; we applaud the Senate for protecting these important animals and securing the future of the marine environment that they inhabit."

Singer-songwriter and guitarist Walter Parks used to live in Asheville — that was about 10 years ago, and his golden pig bed posts stayed on well after he left, as yard ornaments at Hanger Hall. He was born and raised in Jacksonville, Fla. but, as he explains in this interview, he's well-traveled. These days Parks, whose folk-rock band Swamp Cabbage just released a new album Drum Roll Please — is based in N.Y., but he still often roots his songs in a murky, soulful Georgia/Florida aesthetic. And he's got family ties to WNC, too: Parks' grandfather owned a general store in Swannanoa, which is featured in the current exhibit, "Beans, Butter, & Bacon: Early General Stores in the Swannanoa Valley" at the Swannanoa Valley Museum.
Parks hopes to be back in the area in October with Swamp Cabbage.

Falkland Current
The Falkland Current (also called Malvinas Current or Falklands Current) is a cold water current that flows northward along the Atlantic coast of Patagonia as far north as the mouth of the Río de la Plata. This current results from the movement of water from the West Wind Drift as it rounds Cape Horn. It takes its name from the Falkland Islands (Spanish: Islas Malvinas). This cold current mixes with the tropical Brazil Current in the Argentine Sea (see Brazil–Falkland Confluence), giving it its temperate climate.[1]
The current is an equatorward flowing current that carries cold and relatively fresh subantarctic water. The Malvinas Current is a branch off of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. It transports between 60 and 90 Sverdrups of water with speeds ranging from a half a meter to a meter per second. Hydrographic data in this area is very scarce and thus various hydrographic variables have a great deal of error. It is interesting to note that the Malvinas Current is not simply a surface current like the Brazil Current but actually extends all the way to the sea-floor. Typical temperatures for the current are around 6 °C, with a salinity of 33.5–34.5 psu.[2][3]

My recent research interests have focused on predicting
vegetation-site relationships,
using a water balance approach.
an understanding is critical for assessing the effects
of future
climate change, or to evaluate changes related to
historic land use
patterns. Since plants
respond to moisture
supply and demand across all geographic scales, the
water balance can
serve as an effective predictor of continental range
limits, or species
occurrence within individual forest plots. I also have been actively exploring changes in forest
composition and structure
in southeastern Ohio since settlement, most
recently as part of
an NSF-funded Appalachian
Forest Research Group. I have used witness
tree records
to construct "baseline" vegetation patterns, then drew
upon archival
land use records, historic air photos, and field
sampling to examining
the role of historic land use in shaping the
present-day flora of
central Appalachian forests. Although
southeastern Ohio is
heavily forested today, land use practices have left
"signatures" on these communities.

This method handles an overflow condition by wrapping: if location = Int64.MaxValue, location + 1 = Int64.MinValue. No exception is thrown.
The Read method and the 64-bit overloads of the Increment, Decrement, and Add methods are truly atomic only on systems where a System.IntPtr is 64 bits long. On other systems, these methods are atomic with respect to each other, but not with respect to other means of accessing the data. Thus, to be thread safe on 32-bit systems, any access to a 64-bit value must be made through the members of the Interlocked class.

Discover Performance
HP Software's community for IT leaders // April 2012The cloud in context: Shaping the future of IT
In a preview of Discover Las Vegas 2012, HP Software VP/GM Jonathan Rende takes on a major theme of that event: The transformative power of cloud solutions.
In June, HP's annual Discover Las Vegas conference will offer cutting-edge thinking on the IT topics foremost in CIOs' minds in 2012—among them mobility, application transformation and the rise of DevOps. One of the biggest topics is sure to be cloud, and given how much confusion about cloud technology we've seen in the IT community, Discover Performance asked Jonathan Rende, HP Software's VP/GM-Applications, to sit down talk about how the cloud is affecting large enterprises this year.
Exploring the options and best practices around cloud adoption will be a major theme at Discover, running June 4-7. Rende gave his perspective to Discover Performance.
* * *
Q: People can't seem to stop talking about the cloud. Is it the most important trend for CIOs to be aware of right now?
Rende: We're seeing talk about a lot of big trends right now—DevOps, cloud, mobile, agile and continuous delivery—they're all getting a lot of attention. The trick is not to get tunnel vision around one or two, but to understand how all of these things overlap and how, taken together, they're about driving better, faster outcomes for the business. For example, cloud and DevOps are actually closely related in their aim of less environment provisioning and configuration time, and speedier application releases. Understood properly, each complements the other. Taken in silos, you could miss out on the major benefits. The businesses that differentiate themselves are the ones that understand how these trends converge and relate—and how to best take advantage of those convergences.
Q: So cloud needs to be viewed in a broader context. But isn't cloud mainly an operations concern?
Rende: No. Cloud impacts so many activities within IT. So many, in fact, that as a catch-all term it's a little dangerous. Clearly, cloud conversations often begin on the production infrastructure and operations side due to immediate provisioning and potential cost savings. But they certainly don't end there. Development and quality teams are keenly interested in using cloud or hybrid environments for creating a better way to stand up lab environments. And then there's the applications themselves, which if they're to take true advantage of a cloud environment (whether public or private) must be optimized—often re-architected. Cloud-based apps are more like a shim, with many services behind the scenes supporting the overall business processes. This introduces all kinds of new challenges in terms of how you architect the app services, what are the dependencies of the services and different data sources, and how you measure end-to-end quality and performance. All this is to say nothing of how companies are now looking to change their application consumption models, via cloud-based SaaS and the like.
Q: Speaking of SaaS, how does a CIO weigh that option?
Rende: The first thing a CIO should do is classify the applications as either "core" or "context" apps. The core apps are the ones that differentiate you, so you must keep control of them, maximize their agility, and make them absolutely best in class. A core app for a commercial airline might be the one that books reservations or lets customers select seats via their mobile phones. Context apps, on the other hand, are necessary and important but tend not to differentiate your offerings. These need to be reliable and secure, but they are not what you want to spend a lot of internal resources on to optimize. What this means in terms of the cloud is that you might not even want to own these context apps. Things like payroll, sales force automation, or monitoring—these are services that a dedicated vendor might do better and deliver cheaper, so you're better off using them as a cloud service.
Q: What is the Ops leader's role in a world that includes cloud?
Rende: Gartner says 25 percent of IT spend will be out of IT's hands and in the hands of SaaS providers by 2014. So while Ops leaders continue to oversee the delivery of in-house applications and services, they also become brokers of a hybrid portfolio of services. They're already finding that the business unit often doesn't care where the services come from, but the Ops team has to care—and they have to manage that broader portfolio to ensure the best value and quality to serve the enterprise's objectives. I look at it this way: In the past, Ops leaders needed to tightly govern processes and practices in support of the operating data centers, along with the new delivery of systems from the development organizations. This was highly controlled and regulated with practices like ITSM. In the new world of continuous change and delivery, VP-Ops leaders will need to maintain control while not handing over the keys to the lines of business. I think it's going to be a world of loose governance, where apps teams have more freedom to deploy and manage their deployment within the best interest of the company and IT. The VP-Ops has the opportunity to define this new reality.
Q: What are some of the security challenges around consuming and delivering apps via the cloud?
Rende: Cloud and SaaS offer compelling benefits, yet to take full advantage of them, security is often a primary consideration. For example, how do you protect applications and underlying infrastructures when only some or part of this is owned and directly controlled from the company? How do you manage user access such as shutting down a user's account and other cloud-based privileges when the user leaves the company? There are automated solutions and single-sign-on solutions, but all of this becomes a challenge for the CIO and the CISO to consider when managing risk. It's also important to protect against attacks and protect against the most important vulnerabilities. HP has market-leading solutions in this important area, because we want to help the CISO to stay ahead of the game not by building perimeter strategies but by understanding the internal risks and managing them to acceptable levels.
And, of course, leaders have to consider security when delivering apps as well. If your app relies on components or data in the cloud, the transfer of this data must be secure. How do you secure the app and its connection with components outside your firewall? We have products that allow developer to automatically and transparently scan source code as the application is in development to identify security vulnerabilities, and we think that's a major component of cloud security: built-in security from the first line of code. Developers are not security experts so they need to know where the most critical vulnerabilities lie and how to fix them. That is what we can provide to them.
Q: At the rate cloud solutions are evolving, do you see them eventually centering on a core set of benefits or concerns?
Rende: No. I don't believe so. Our Grounded in the Cloud blog recently noted Forrester's report on rapid cloud adoption in Europe. In Germany, the principal attraction is cost control, while the French mainly cite the heightened agility. At the same time, each country had a different primary concern when investigating cloud options. Cloud is going to be integral in enterprises worldwide, and part of the reason for that is the incredible range of options and benefits it presents.

Family Murdered
GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) - Police in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert now say they're not sure whether a man who fatally shot four people, including a toddler, committed suicide.
Police originally said the gunman killed himself Wednesday, but they now say they're not positive about that.
At a briefing for reporters, Gilbert police Sgt. Bill Balafas says all the evidence points to the shooting being a domestic violence situation. He didn't elaborate.
Authorities say the man was armed with several firearms, and officers recovered two handguns and a shotgun.
The gunman's identity and motives aren't immediately known.
Balafas says the genders and ages of the victims aren't known either, except for the toddler, a girl between 1 and 2 years old.
