Ruby vs. Python vs. PHP vs. Node.js (popularity)
Saw an old 2011 info graphic (still being proffered as good today – need a date on that graphic itself) comparing Ruby vs. Python vs. PHP. Did some ratio calculations on data counting the number of people per job posting and found that even though there were fewer Ruby programmers, there was a better ratio – fewer programmers per job available.
Did an update just now to see if anything changed. Used LinkedIn information only, and just counted the results search terms for each language name under Persons and Jobs. Not very scientific and we'll catch a few people named Ruby maybe. But here is what I found on September 1st, 2013:
[This just in: Decided to add Node.js as it is pretty interesting these days]
Ruby: 233,470
Python: 492,116
Node.js: 38,918
Job Postings
Ruby: 2,715
Python: 4,934
Node.js: 500
Ratio: Number of Persons per Job Available
Ruby: 86
Python: 99
Node.js: 78
For what it's worth. May be good directionally, in any case.
Node.js is much newer, of course, and while it has the fewest programmers, it has the best ratio. Much like Ruby at the time of the 2011 infographic. Interesting. Should I use Ruby or Node.js for my next app? Hmm.

The Basics of MPLS: Defining Smart Traffic Engineering
Because MegaPath has been running its own core MPLS network for more than 10 years, we readily toss around the term MPLS and perhaps don't give enough consideration to how well understood the term is (or is not) amongst technology users from small business to large enterprise. We do know that MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) is becoming the predominant wide area network (WAN) service, holding solid favor with service providers and end users alike for its flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and reliability.
SearchEnterpriseWAN.com provides a good working definition of MPLS that can be appreciated by business- and process-focused staff (in addition to IT owners) for its simplicity. In short, MPLS is a standards-approved technology for speeding up network traffic flow and making it easier to manage. MPLS involves setting up a specific path for a given sequence of packets, identified by a label put in each packet, thus saving the time needed for a router to look up the address to the next node in which to forward the packet. MPLS is called multiprotocol because it works with the Internet Protocol (IP), Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM), and frame relay network protocols. In addition to moving traffic faster overall, MPLS makes it easy to manage a network for quality of service (QoS). For these reasons, the technique is expected to be readily adopted as networks begin to carry more and different mixtures of traffic.
Engineering MPLS networks for performance is one key IP service area where MegaPath focuses our efforts because we know its importance in taming bandwidth hogs, boosting productivity for branch office users, and ensuring QoS for applications like voice, video, and data transfer that are latency-sensitive. We invest a substantial amount of time working with customers to understand their IT operations and service management challenges, and the increasing need to provide uniformity of user experience.
Our approach is about service, scale, and control—and because of the flexibility and delivery we build into what we call the MegaPath Method to MPLS—cost reduction in both IT operating and capital expenses are top benefits that our managed services customers can expect to realize. In fact, we just released a white paper "The MPLS Network: A Future-Proof Engine for Voice-Data Communications" that addresses network traffic trends with new opportunities for business communications. Take a few minutes to peruse it, and then request a quick 5-step bandwidth assessment from our MPLS experts.

first off i saw this cherry syncro vw van up millcreek on thursday in the parking lot. yummy. me wants one. can i has?
we started on sat. after a slightly late start(partly my fault) at the ribbon on Tabeguache area.
with all the slickrock it was a bit of a mystery as to where the trail went sometimes...
just a bunch of paved rock.
josh bikepeddler our trail organizer guru for the day.
don't ask and i won't tell. not that i even know what this is.
just some random stuff of the day. a wide range of abilities made for good entertainment.
we got some good grub that night at "tomato" something or other food house and woke up to a few light sprinkles. decided to check out Kokopelli as it was suggested to be drier.
did a few trail loops and then on to mary's trail which is a canyon rim trail, with a green river look over.
why is this pretty girl always smiling. a real trooper, taking a good "over the bars" the day before, never once complained, just shrugged it off and kept going.
there were many a good lookout on this trail. click on the pics to get a better view.
lots of slick rock everywhere.
even though the jacuzzi seemed always to be under chlorine maintenance or jammed packed with screaming kids and the lack of waffle brew to make waffles, the motel was modest, but comfortable.
it was a good weekend with mild, but nice warm semi-sunny weather, great comapny and good riding. much fun to ride dirt instead of snow for a change. spring is right around the corner and we will get our dirt back on line.
we had better luck than the racers at the "true grit 50". they got rained out after the start and had to cancel the race.

A.M. Best Upgrades Ratings Of First American Property & Casualty Insurance Company And First American Specialty Insurance Company
A.M. Best Co. has upgraded the financial strength rating (FSR) to A (Excellent) from A- (Excellent) and issuer credit ratings (ICR) to "a" from "a-" of First American Property & Casualty Insurance Company and First American Specialty Insurance Company, collectively referred to as First American P&C Group. The outlook for all ratings has been revised to stable from positive. Both companies are domiciled in Santa Ana, CA.
The rating actions reflect First American P&C Group's continued favorable trend of operating performance, solid risk-adjusted capitalization and reduced underwriting leverage in recent years. The group's positive results are derived from its strict underwriting discipline and loss control guidelines, which have resulted in consistent underwriting profitability and favorable operating results over the years, despite wildfire and severe weather-related activity. The ratings also recognize First American P&C Group's use of multiple distribution channels to market its products. Besides brokers and independent agents, First American P&C Group is able to leverage its parent, First American Financial Corporation's [NYSE: FAF], advanced computer systems and title distribution networks to facilitate direct escrow sales of homeowners' insurance.
These positive rating factors are somewhat offset by First American P&C Group's concentration of business in California, which exposes its earnings and surplus to volatility from changes in that state's regulatory and judicial climate, as well as catastrophe risks. In an effort to reduce this concentration, the group is currently geographically expanding its product offerings into other non-catastrophe correlated areas of the country, including certain parts of the Northeast.
While A.M. Best believes First American P&C Group is well positioned at its current rating level, factors that may lead to positive rating actions include a continued favorable underwriting and operating performance while enhancing its risk-adjusted capitalization. However, factors that may lead to negative rating actions include a trend of deteriorating underwriting and operating profitability or the erosion of surplus to an extent that causes a significant decline in the group's risk-adjusted capitalization.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP/WVLT) -- A former Tennessee Titans cheerleader was charged with aggravated sexual battery and soliciting a minor for inappropriately grabbing a 12-year-old boy and making sexual advances toward him at his home in Murfreesboro.
According to a police report, 42-year-old Elizabeth Garner was arrested last Thursday after police and state Children's Services investigators were notified about the incident earlier in February.
The boy told investigators that Garner grabbed at his crotch and offered to perform sex acts on him while she was at his home. Garner, who last performed with the Titans cheerleading squad in 2008, told police that she was drunk and she got the boy "confused" with a man who also lived there.
An attorney listed for Garner in court records did not immediately return a call from the AP.

Sons And Lovers- An Autobiographical Novel
A situation in life when you are so close to your mother, so influenced by her presence that it in a way makes you suffocate in your other relationships with women-- This is the story of Paul Morel and his mother Gertrude Morel.
A woman who belongs to a Puritan family atmosphere, marries a coal miner Walter Morel-- whose earthly liveliness is in stark contrast to the Puritan atmosphere of her home. She couldnot adjust to Morel's coal miner nature which was- drink and be merry and resisted her efforts to change him.
Gertrude now focuses all her energies on her children, also intellectually focusing on Woman's Co-operative guild.
She wants her children to grow above the class that she has given them birth in. This is the reason why her elder son Walter goes to London to help the family financially but dies there. Mrs Morel is terribly shocked. So when Paul too falls ill, she nurses him back to health, and puts the onus of her aspirations on him.
Later Paul falls in love with Miriam Leivers, a reserved and spiritual young woman. Gertrude, unable to tolerate the closeness between the two, becomes over possessive of Paul. Paul and Miriam are not able to take the relationship onwards. Later Paul falls in love again with a married woman Clara Dawes and also shares a close relationship with her husband Baxter. He later becomes a close friend to both.
Mrs. Morel gets sick, suffering a long and painful illness, which Paul ends by giving her Morphin. She died and Paul now is determined to start his life afresh.
The novel is said to be autobiographical in nature. Paul is the painter in the book, not a novelist but the parallels between Paul and Lawrence's own life are unavoidable.
Lawrence's father was a coal miner and his mother a former school teacher, and he was often sick, much like Paul in the novel.
Although Lawrence was the kind of novelist who would not shy away from sex and swear words in his novels, it is interesting to know that fathers would not let their daughters read his novels in those times. But if you really like Lawrence, this is a must read. Sons and Lovers will always be in my list of favorite books.

afaqs!: What is the key to the success of your global campaign 'I am lovin' it', which has been running for a decade now?
Biespiel: Yes, it is the longest running only global campaign in our company's history and a big factor in our business growth. The best part is that it is working better than before, now.
Peleo-Lazar: Our consumer, which is one big family, uses different tones to talk to different people. For example, a young boy will speak to his sister in a tone which will be different from the way he speaks to his aunt. So in our communication we have designed chapters which feature all these characters from the family and tell a story about McDonald's.
Interestingly, the stories have been designed in such a manner that they are continuously evolving and that is the reason we have been able to keep it fresh.
I always get stopped by people and they ask me how long will you go on. I say it will always go on. We have always made our communication relevant, fun and full of energy for our people. Moreover, we have freedom within a wide framework to create new stories every day. Therefore, our stories are locally and culturally relevant. We don't think we are going to run out of ideas. 'Love' is a universal emotion and it allows you to stretch our communication all the time.
afaqs!: So how did it all begin?
Peleo-Lazar: The campaign was a way to infuse the brand with energy and life and announce 'McDonald's is here'. The original campaign started off with individual stories that captured the consumer's viewpoint and that was a big turning point. The whole focus was that rather than us telling the consumer that 'we want you to act or feel this way', the campaign was entirely based on the consumer's perspective and was very insightful.
We launched the campaign in a big way in 118 countries and in many languages. This was the first global campaign for McDonald's in its history. The campaign, 'You deserve a break today', which lasted for 18 months started off as a musical, telling stories and infusing energies.
afaqs!: How has the campaign evolved over the years, especially in a market like India?
Peleo-Lazar: Just compare a commercial from two years ago to the recent one featuring a young boy as Ravana. You'll see a dramatic difference on how we are projecting the brand. The change that we made in 2010 was more about ensuring that everybody truly understood the character of brand McDonald's.
afaqs!: What role does a brand like McDonald's play in people's life?
Biespiel: McDonald's has always been a place for kids. It is a place which allows kids to be kids, where they can come and have fun. Our founders - Richard and Maurice McDonald - call it a 'happy place', so we try to keep the spirit alive. We have kids all around the world who love coming to McDonald's. Nonetheless, our customer base is not restricted to only kids. There might be a perception that we are a place for children but we believe that McDonald's is a family restaurant. Therefore, we continuously look at all our stakeholders, keep a tab on their eating habits and give them different options in our menu.
For example, in certain parts of the world, every single Happy Meal comes with a fruit; in some countries, the Happy Meal is served with a dairy product; and in some countries, we even give an option between chicken nuggets, hamburgers and fish.
So we give choices that are loved by children, make moms feel good and stakeholders endorse. We're part of people's diet. Our average customer comes to McDonald's two and a half times a month. We want to make sure that those two and a half times, they have a range of choices.
afaqs!: Is brand McDonald's confused - what do you stand for?
Peleo-Lazar: I don't think that brand McDonald's is confused at all. We are at the core of what we always have been, that is providing choice. As a company, one of our values is to provide options in the things that consumers want. Also, people are always looking for options and so we work to produce more indulgent choices.
We talk to consumers all the time, particularly moms and their children. And in terms of nutrition for children, we try to make food filled with fun. No kid will ever say, 'Gee!, I wanna have carrots today'. The range of choices, on the other hand, also makes moms feel better in terms of what they are giving their children.
Biespiel: McDonald's is the original social network. It is a community and we have people coming across from all walks of life. We are open for all. At the heart, we are a family restaurant. A place where a mom and her kid can come and a dad can bring his family.
In many parts of the world, going to McDonald's is a special occasion, while in some parts of the world we play a much more functional role. We want to have the right things in our menu and would like to be at the right places whether one wants to have casual Saturday dinner or a quick bite on her way to work. And we have done well in markets where it was thought to be impossible. For example, in a market like France, which is an extremely food-centred place and is popular for its traditional long lunches and dinners, we have flourished. And this is mainly because we have been able to understand what a new age customer wants. Today, people don't have time to take two-hour lunch or dinner.
afaqs!: What challenges does a market like India offer?
Biespiel: Challenge for a company of our size is that you have to pick and choose where you will invest your dollar. Currently, we have 248 restaurants in India, which is not nearly enough given the population, the size of the market and the emerging middle class.
Besides, we are literally introducing our brand to a billion people every day. And, you get only one chance to make your first impression. So when we work with the Leo Burnett team, the focus is always on 'how do we introduce ourselves', and say 'hello' to so many Indians who don't know us. That is why we focus so much on the character of the brand in our communication for India.

MSA Awarded National Wellness Recognition By The American Heart Association
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MSA (NYSE: MSA), the global leader in the development and manufacture of safety products, announced today that its Pittsburgh-area facilities have been recognized as Platinum Level "Fit-Friendly Worksites" by the American Heart Association (AHA). MSA, which employs approximately 1,300 people locally, was recognized for demonstrating outstanding quality in promoting employee nutrition and physical fitness. The Platinum Level is the highest honor in the AHA's Fit-Friendly Worksites program.
Instrumental in helping MSA earn this recognition was the company's wellness program called MSAFit. Launched in 2003, the program provides associates with opportunities to improve their health and wellness by encouraging a healthy lifestyle. MSAFit offers incentives to associates who actively participate in health-related activities including health screenings, lunchtime awareness classes, health-risk assessments, and walking programs. Most recently, MSA enhanced its wellness program to include nutritional suggestions and healthy eating options at MSA's Cranberry Township facilities, with plans to implement similar improvements at other Pittsburgh-area locations in early 2013 as well.
"At MSA, our people are the driving force behind our business success. They allow us to achieve our mission, to protect life, and that's why we continue to invest in the health and wellness of our workforce," said Paul Uhler, Vice President of Global Human Resources and Corporate Communications for MSA. "We are honored to receive this recognition from the AHA for our efforts to establish a wellness program of this caliber. And we will remain committed to maintaining and improving this program for years to come," Mr. Uhler said.
A catalyst for positive change in the American workplace, the Fit-Friendly Worksites program recognizes companies that are distinguished in promoting worksite health and wellness. This annual recognition is driven by a rigorous set of criteria and recognizes organizations on two levels, Gold and Platinum.

Fracking update: UB continues to deny industry funding claims
UB says money only went to lecture series
UB will continue to deny industry funding claims despite impending investigation. Courtesy of John Armstrong
SUNY Trustee Joseph Belluck thinks UB's controversial fracking institute should be shut down.
In a meeting in New York City on Sept. 12, he said the controversy over the institute threatens to undermine SUNY as a first-class research institute and suggested the Shale Research Society and Institute (SRSI) be dissolved.
Belluck blamed the controversy on College of Arts and Sciences Dean Bruce Pitman, who oversees the institute, and on UB President Satish Tripathi.
"I think Satish has really failed to address this in the right way," Belluck told the trustees.
SUNY trustees decided they did not yet have enough information to vote on the institute. Instead, they unanimously passed a resolution to investigate the founding and funding of SRSI. The meeting was recorded and put online by SUNY over the weekend.
The university is currently responding to SUNY's requests, according to UB Spokesman John Della Contrada.
University officials have repeatedly said no industry funding went into the institute itself. This weekDella Contrada said the oil and gas industry did, however, help fund the April 2011 lecture series sponsored by the geology department that spurred the creation of the institute a year later.
In particular, he said the Independent Oil and Gas Association of New York donated $5,000 to the Marcellus Shale lecture series, which cost $12,900. Other funding included:
· $5,000 from Otis Eastern Service, Inc, a leading pipeline contractor
· $2,000 from Lenape Enterprises, no information available
· $200 from Chautauqua Energy Management, a producer of oil and gas wells in Pennsylvania and New York
· $200 from Reserve Energy Exploration, a privately held company focused on oil, natural gas and renewable energy projects
· $250 from Tectonic, a New York engineering firm
· $200 Minard Run Oil Company, an independent oil company in Pennsylvania
"If the talk series is not part of the institute - if it's just an independent talk series - then it is unlike any such series I have ever organized or attended in that it fails to acknowledge the moneys that paid for it: in this case, $12,900 in support from oil and gas and affiliated companies," said James Holstun, an English professor and chairman of the UB Coalition for Leading Ethically in Academic Research (UBCLEAR), in an email.
He feels the basic principles of academic ethics that require acknowledgement and thanks to the donors should have occurred at the talk series and "not more than a year later, under intense public and [SUNY] trustee pressure."
SRSI was founded in April 2012 and produced its first report in May. The report came out under UB's name and suggested fracking is not as detrimental to the environment as many experts say. The report was immediately criticized for its findings, its numerical inaccuracies and the authors' connections to the oil and gas industry. In addition, a UB press release claimed the report was peer reviewed. After a watchdog group questioned the review process and the report as a whole, UB reissued the press release saying it had not been peer reviewed.
Belluck is not the only one to question the institute's validity. Since its inception in April, UB faculty and community members have asked UB administrators to explain how the institute got started, who is funding it and what - if any - ties it has to the oil and gas industry. They have also expressed outrage over the salary of John P. Martin, one of the institute's co-directors, and his perceived conflict of interest as an oil and gas insider.
Pitman has defended Martin's hiring and has insisted the institute has not received any industry funding and that it is a purely academic endeavor with an approximately $40,000 start-up budget, not including salaries.
According to the SRSI website, the institute has a $177,442 annual budget.
"The $40,000 was an estimate of operating costs and support. [It] does not include personnel costs," Della Contrada said.
The actual amount posted on the website for operating support and staff support is $48,600. Although Pitman originally answered The Spectrum's questions on SRSI, since Wednesday, he has deferred all questions to Della Contrada, stating the UB spokesperson "is the appropriate person to respond."
The additional $128,842 left in the $177,442 budget is allotted for personnel costs, including "salary, fringe and other benefits" for the institute's co-directors, Martin and Robert Jacobi. The funds are coming from a University at Buffalo Foundation account and a "state operating account," according to the SRSI website.
Martin's part-time salary of $60,000 annually and a $1,000 monthly stipend for travel was released last week after Artvoice filed a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request.
Several UB faculty members, including Holstun and law professor Martha McCluskey, feel a combined $72,000 salary is too high for an employee only required to work 25 percent of his time.
Holstun is a founding member of UBCLEAR, a group of 25 community and faculty members who want the university to explain exactly how the institute started and has been funded. He is convinced documents obtained by Artvoice via a FOIL prove the oil and gas industries have helped and/or plan to help fund the institute.
The document, a one-page description of SRSI's goals and fundraising strategies, shows a commitment by the Independent Oil and Gas Association of New York (IOGA).
"IOGA of NY is keenly aware of our plans and has not only aided us with funding, but also organizational help," the document states. In the subsequent bullet point, it states, "Through our Marcellus Shale lecture series last spring, we reached out to local citizenry as well as government and environmental activist concerns and were able to make numerous contacts."
Holstun said the document is evidence that IOGA funded SRSI.
Della Contrada said the IOGA money referred to in the one-page document went to the lecture series, not the institute. After the lecture series, "faculty and administrators saw sufficient interest to make an institute viable," Della Contrada said.
Holstun doesn't feel the lecture series properly disclosed the industry funding received - something that echoes his concerns regarding the entire institute. He wants the administration to release all documents relating to founding, funding and governance of SRSI.
"This is precisely the sort of thing we have to fear with the Institute itself, if it ever should actually come alive again: that it will be supported by money from the oil and gas industry, laundered through the UB Foundation, which is currently immune to FOIL requests, so that UB peddles its legitimacy for an under-the-table corporate contribution," Holstun said. "Nobody has the right to degrade the University at Buffalo in this way."

On the season finale of The Bachelor, Jake introduces Tenley and Vienna to his family as he struggles to decide which woman to choose.
After a long very montage showing viewers how far we've come, Jake is still where we saw him at the end of the last new episode in St. Lucia: stuck between two women he's fallen in love with. Before he makes his big choice, however, Jake must bring his family into the equation for their take on Tenley and Vienna.
Tenley is the first to meet the family and she's got a big advantage since Jake says he brought up a lot of Vienna's perceived faults with his family early on in their trip. As one might expect, Tenley is a perfect fit with Jake's family right from the beginning, but for the girl that "dreams in cartoons," what family wouldn't love her? Right from the get-go, Tenley is very open and honest about her feelings for Jake and even makes his dad tear up a little bit. Tenley and Jake's mom share a nice talk and Jake's mom tells him she is not worried about Tenley at all. "You won a lot of points today," Jake's dad tells her at one point (as she makes him cry again). Good luck following that, Vienna.
As Jake prepares to introduce Vienna to his family, he calls a good connection between his other half and his family a "dealbreaker" so of course, at the beginning, everything seems to go wrong for Vienna. She's hardly her natural outgoing self with his family and seems less than warm with them. Even worse, when she does start talking openly, it's about how she didn't get along with the other women in the house and red flags go up left and right for Jake's family, especially his mom, who is very concerned about Jake finding a wife to get along with his brothers' wives. However, Vienna slowly but surely warms over Jake's mom and sister-in-law during their respective sit-downs with her. Jake's family is honest that they like Tenley more, but also say they see how much Vienna cares about him. It will be interesting to see how much, if at all, this judgment will affect his decision.
The next day, Vienna and Jake go to an active volcano and rub mud all over each other. The way Vienna talks about rubbing mud all over Jake, I feel a sudden urge to cover my eyes and ears. Did the channel suddenly change from Disney-owned ABC to Cinemax after-hours? Is there some weird Undressed marathon taking over ABC? Later in the evening, Vienna discusses their emotional connection as well and romantically hands Jake a note rolled up by her promise ring from her father, saying that for now she's giving this to Jake. It only took two months but Vienna is finally acting like a normal, semi-mature woman head over heels in love. It's a little late but it's finally clear how tough a decision Jake has ahead of him.
The real turning point of the episode, and the series, is Jake's last date with Tenley. While Jake's final date with Vienna crosses the line over and over, his last hours with Tenley are, well, much more tepid. The couple kiss, hug, snorkel, etc. but after they explore the ocean hand-in-hand, Jake begins to ponder his and Tenley's lack of physical chemistry. The worst part is he wonders this out loud. Obviously, Tenley takes this badly not only because she now knows she may be behind Vienna but because she's reminded of, you guessed it, when her ex-husband cheated on her. Jake says he disappointed in himself and I can't blame him. He has plenty of time to think about these things in front of the camera later by himself, without making Tenley feel bad about herself the day before she may or may not be getting engaged. Come on, Jake, give me a break.
Over at Tenley's room later in the evening, Tenley is stronger than most would be after being told the guy you love thinks he has no physical chemistry with you. They talk openly about the slow-burning physical spark and Jake seems happier now that they've talked this out. Obviously their talk goes well because as soon as the jeweler comes knocking the next day, Jake must pick one ring for each girl as he continues to decide (and as it sounds, continue to fight back tears).
After a dramatic break, Jake reveals he has come to a decision and has he gets dressed for the big occasion (this wouldn't be the same season of The Bachelor without the wonderful, er, I mean gratuitous shots of Jake shirtless). He says he's made up his mind but is not prepared to break someone else's heart.
As soon as Jake starts tearing up and calls her perfect, Tenley starts to squint and the tears start flowing on both ends. Jake says he doesn't know why but he feels like something missing. This is really hard to watch. Like, times the episode Ali left by 1,000 and that's how hard this is to watch. Tenley really starts tearing up but says she's thankful she was able to see she could fall in love again and happy to find it out with Jake. She even thanks him for being so honest with her about why she's not the one. But Jake isn't off the hook that easy. As he walks Tenley back to Chris Harrison, he tells her he'll never forget her and she asks, twice, "Why are you saying goodbye?" Tenley walks into the St. Lucia sunset and looks back at Jack one final, tearful time.
As Tenley is driven away, Jake says he put her on too high a pedestal even for himself, and felt he had to be a certain way around her. So you can be too perfect, even on reality TV, eh? Luckily, Tenley is a smart and mature girl and she knows deep down she deserves somebody who loves all of her and even though she's heartbroken, she's not completely devastated. There are few girls who have been dumped on The Bachelor who have gone out as classy as Tenley, so cheers to her.
Love her or hate her, you see the pure love and raw emotion in Vienna as she approaches Jake. He does his best to act like he's about turn her down, especially when he hands her back the promise ring she gave to him two nights before. However, his face starts to slowly light up and as soon as the words "I love you" leave his lips, Vienna is all over him and quickly accepts his marriage proposal.
It's a little cheesy but only fitting that this season started out with a half-dozen corny plane-related joked and ends with "On the Wings of Love."
On "After the Final Rose," not only is Jake revealed to be one of the next contestants on Dancing with the Stars (I'm pretty excited to watch him practice shirtless on my HD TV) but he comes face-to-face with both Tenley and Vienna. Tenley and Jake's time together on the couch together is brief and awkward as humanly possible. Tenley is sweet but also wants clarity on the missing piece of the puzzle, to which Jake can only answer a "magical spark" and says Tenley has a lifelong friend in him (we've heard that one before on this show).
Alone on the couch with The Bachelor himself, Jake addresses the controversy about Vienna's personality and their relationship. Jake says "everybody's just going to have to trust that I let my heart lead." Once Vienna steps out, the couple can't stop beaming and they seem more in love than ever. They brush off the intense media coverage of the season and their relationship and seem focused on moving forward with their relationship. Although no wedding date is set, Vienna is moving to Dallas to be with Jake right away and the two can't keep their hands off each other during their interview. The best (or worst part depending on who you ask and how much corniness they can handle in one increments) is when they get the man behind "On the Wings of Love", Jeffrey Osborne, to perform on the show. Jake and Vienna share a darkly lit first dance but I'm more focused on looking for Joel McHale. Sorry, but The Soup did play this song way more than The Bachelor did this season so now it's habit.
After their slightly odd dancing interlude, Chris Harrison then introduces the next Bachelorette who is...drum roll...Ali! As many predicted (and I hoped for) Ali is next to look for love. Hopefully she just knows to tell her work exactly how long she's going to be gone this time.
So what did you think of the finale? Did Jake make the right choice? Did you see all that coming with Tenley about a missing spark (they sure had me fooled)? Do you think Jake and Vienna will last? How about Ali as the next Bachelorette? Sound off on anything and everything in comments section below!

The Bible is the written Word of God, and it is treasured by many. But it is also an ancient book about people and cultures very different than us. Thus, while we know we should read it, many of us have a hard time understanding the Bible.
In this updated edition of Knowing Scripture, R. C. Sproul helps us dig out the meaning of Scripture for ourselves. The author says, "The theme of this book is not how to read the Bible but how to study the Bible." He presents in simple, basic terms a commonsense approach to studying Scripture and gives eleven practical guidelines for biblical interpretation and applying what we learn. With a minimum of technical jargon, Sproul tackles some of the knotty questions regarding differences of interpreting the Bible, including:

TBF, might query 'spelling' as against 'grammar' - but no sweat, as they say!
Oh, and you expect our 'crats' to spell and understand grammar?
But have 'nicked' picture - thanks for the use!
Yes you're right, but as I've said I was in the pub - copious liquid refreshments, surely I have an excuse?ReplyDelete

Many chemical engineers are self-taught in the use of spreadsheets for day-to-day problem-solving, which is testimony to the inherent usefulness of this tool. Although spreadsheet software was developed for financial calculations, engineers and scientists in all fields have found spreadsheets to be their tool of choice. In this online course, Dr. Clough will provide instruction using Excel 2010 to illustrate a wide range of spreadsheet applications and skills that are relevant to the calculations and problem solving encountered by practicing chemical engineers. Lectures will include frequent live spreadsheet demonstrations. There will be ample opportunity for participants to practice and perfect the sound techniques and the methods taught.
Topics will include:
- Excel basic skills – improving your efficiency
- Working with tables of data and information
- Process calculations including flowsheeting and economic analysis
- Applied statistics including regression analysis
- Solving equations – algebraic and differential
- Programming in Excel using VBA
Although the spreadsheet version used by Dr. Clough in the course is Excel 2010, participants using Excel 2007 and earlier versions will be able to extract full benefit from the course.

Here's a preview of what you'll learn:
Most Excel courses are not attuned to the needs of engineers rather are more general, often focusing on business applications, and often not presenting the level of challenge that chemical engineers are known to expect. This course is designed for and dedicated to the needs of ChEs. You will learn how to bring the myriad of features and capabilities of Excel to the challenge of solving problems that you encounter in your work. Units in the course will focus on setting up Excel for engineering work and building efficient spreadsheet skills and techniques, working with tables of information and data, carrying out process calculations, characterizing data including statistical methods and regression analysis, solving equations relevant to chemical engineering scenarios, and programming in Excel using Visual Basic for Applications. This course will open doors in spreadsheet use that will greatly improve your productivity and work quality.
Who Should Attend:
Chemical engineers who already have some level of proficiency with Excel and use, or desire to use, spreadsheeting as a common software tool for problem solving and daily work. The course is also ideal for those engineers who believe they are very proficient Excel users, as a common comment on evaluations from those who have attended Dr. Clough's short courses in the past is "I thought I knew a lot about Excel before I attended this course." Knowledge of programming in VBA is not required nor expected.

Say U.N.C.L.E.: secret agents McCallum and Vaughn
Question: Who was that gorgeous Russian actor in The Man from U.N.C.L.E.? Not Napoleon, the other man. Thanks, hon.
Answer: You're quite welcome, hon. And let me point out that while Russian U.N.C.L.E. agent Ilya Kuryakin, was played by Scottish actor David McCallum, the actor would most likely accept "gorgeous" over some of the other adjectives love-struck women came up with at the time.
Take, for example, the word "cute," a favorite of fan magazines during the tongue-in-cheek spy series' 1964-68 run on NBC. "That's an American word I hate," McCallum, who played opposite Robert Vaughn's American agent, Napoleon Solo, told TV Guide in 1966. "A litter of mongrel puppies is cute."
Of course, the actor didn't have much say over how his female fans — and there were a lot of them — treated him and neith

What is OpenSSL?
The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library. The project is managed by a worldwide community of volunteers that use the Internet to communicate, plan, and develop the OpenSSL toolkit and its related documentation.
Can I setup a simple client and server to test my new certificates?
Yes, OpenSSL provides simple server and client services to test the use of SSL using certificates. S-server provides basic server facilities that can be used by s-client to connect (via TCP/IP). Once the server and client are connected and have successfully opened a socket, both the client and server can pass characters to each other forming a primitive talk session. View http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/openssl.html for the OpenSSL toolkit documentation.
What is PKCS #12?
PKCS #12 or Public Key Cryptography Standard #12 is a standard for securely storing private keys and certificates. It is often used by browsers including Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer for transporting keys when using import and export functions. View http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2138 for PKCS #12 documentation.
How are certificates stored?
Certificates are kept in special repositories called keystores and can be distributed in several
different formats:
1. X509 format (.cer and .crt file-extension for Windows) certificate is widely supported. This file represents the individual certificate.
2. Cryptographic Message Syntax -PKCS #7 Format (.p7b file extension for Windows) This format is used for exporting complete chain.
3. Personal Information Exchange syntax -PKCS #12 Format (.pfx and .p12 file extensions for Windows). This format is used for exporting the public/private key pair. Very helpful in importing key pairs to the browsers.
4. Certificate Signing Request (CSR) Syntax -PKCS #10 Format. This format is used for generating signing requests to trusted certificate signing authorities.
What's the MAC, it keeps saying it is OK?
This is an integrity check. When used with the correct password it can be used to verify that the file has not been corrupted. My PKCS #12 application (and NS/MSIE) currently uses the same password for integrity (MAC) and privacy (encryption) by default. If you use the two pass option you can set and input separate passwords: such files cannot be imported into current versions of MSIE or NS.
What are iteration counts?
The algorithm used to generate keys from passwords and the MAC has an optional iteration count. This determines how many times part of the algorithm is repeated. It's a way of slowing down the key derivation process to make it harder to make dictionary attacks on the password. The OpenSSL PKCS #12 "-info" option now prints information about iteration counts.
What iteration counts are used in OpenSSL PKCS #12?
By default, both iteration counts are set to 2048. If you use the -nomaciter option the MAC iteration count is also set to 1. Some software such as MSIE4 need this option because they do not support mac iteration counts. If you use the -noiter option the iteration count is set to 1; since this makes dictionary attacks on the password easier. This is not recommended.
How can I display the content of a certificate using OpenSSL?
$openssl x509 -in cert.pem -noout -text
How can I display the certificate MD5 fingerprint using OpenSSL?
$openssl x509 -in cert.pem -noout -fingerprint
How can I convert a certificate from PEM to DER format using OpenSSL?
$openssl x509 -in cert.pem
- inform PEM -out cert.der -outform DER
How can I tell PEM format from DER?
You can start by editing the file, If the file starts with "------begin ------" and the file contains data that looks like this:
UVMFfq342wkq9Yo/g+4tIWsrA23om5xVhXmMtnS+ACl0YUDcotkYJMnb+dr MWO+am
"-----end ------"
then it is a PEM format. If the file looks like a binary file where there is nothing understandable, then it is DER
Can I use the IIS Certificate Wizard to make a CSR for the VTCA?
Yes, however, you must remove the current server certificate before the the option to create a CSR is available. You may want to backup or export your current certificate before removing it. Your certificate must have at least a 2048 key.
Follow the directions at
Can I use Certificates issued by Virginia Tech on IIS 5.0 and 6.0, if so how?
Yes, you can use certificates issued by Virginia Tech CA's with IIS version 5.0 and 6.0. You can follow these steps to do so:
- Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) using OpenSSL as outlined in this FAQ
- Read and do the procedures for the type of subscription you need:
- After You received an email notice instructing you how to retrieve your
signed certificate you will need to do the following:
- Make a PKCS #12 file using your certificate and the corresponding private key.
- Import the PKCS #12 or .p12 file into your certificate store.
- Import the Global Qualified Server chain into your certificate store. Navigate to http://www.pki.vt.edu/developer/rootca.html#globalqualifiedserver and in the CA: Virginia_Tech_Global_Qualified_Server_CA section click on the "Download to Internet Explorer" link on the following two CA certificates: CN= Trusted Root CA G2; CN=Virginia Tech Global Qualified Server CA.
- Enable SSL on your server using the procedure at How can I configure SSL on IIS web server?
How can I generate RSA key pair and make a PKCS #10 request using OpenSSL?
- Generate the RSA key pair and certificate
signing request (CSR) as follows (use the default
file names key.pem and req.pem or substitute your own file names):
$openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out req.pem -nodes
If you wish to encrypt your private key then do not include the -nodes option.
- Detailed directions are at OpenSSL + Related
How can I package my certificate and its corresponding private key into a PKCS #12 file?
You will receive your certificate from IMS in DER format. You must convert it to PEM format.
$openssl x509 -inform DER -in download.cer -outform PEM -out download.pem
Then you can package your certificate to a PKCS #12 file using the below OpenSSL command:
openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey key.pem -in download.pem -out myserver.p12 -name "my test cert"
download.cer is: The certificate you received from IMS
key.pem: The key you created when you made your CSR request
myserver.p12:is the output file where the PKCS #12 file will be stored
my test cert: just a friendly name that can be anything you like
How to Import a Server Certificate for Use in Internet Information Services 5.0 or 6.0?
- Open the Certificates (Local Computer) snap-in and navigate to Personal, and then Certificates.
Note: Certificates may not be listed. If it is not, that is because there are no certificates installed.
- Right-click Certificates (or Personal if that option does not exist.)
- Choose All Tasks, and then click Import.
- When the wizard starts, click Next. Browse to the PFX or p12 file you created containing your server certificate and private key. Click Next.
- Enter the password you gave the PFX or p12 file when you created it. Be sure the Mark the key as exportable option is selected if you want to be able to export the key pair again from this computer. As an added security measure, you may want to leave this option unchecked to ensure that no one can make a backup of your private key.
- Click Next, and then choose the Certificate Store you want to save the certificate to. You should select Personal because it is a Web server certificate. If you included the certificates in the certification hierarchy, it will also be added to this store.
- Click Next. You should see a summary of screen showing what the wizard is about to do. If this information is correct, click Finish.
- You will now see the server certificate for your Web server in the list of Personal Certificates. It will be denoted by the common name of the server (found in the subject section of the certificate).
- To complete the installation and configuration of the server certificate, the CA certificates chain MUST also be installed on the server. Please refer to your server documentation on how to configure your server to use trusted CA chains. You can save the vtglobalqualifiedserver_chain to a local file by right clicking on the preceding link.
How to Export a Server Certificate stored in Internet Information Services 5.0 or 6.0?
- Open a blank Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
- Add the Certificates snap-in.
- When you are prompted, select Computer Account and Local Computer.
- Expand Personal, and then expand Certificates. A certificate with the name of your Web site appears in the "Issued To " column.
- Right-click your certificate, click All Tasks, and then click Export.
- In the Export window, click Next.
- Click Yes, export the private key, and then click Next.
NOTE: If you do not have the option to click Yes in the Export Private Keys window, the private key has already been exported to another computer or the key never existed on this computer. You cannot use this certificate on ISA Server. You must request a new certificate for this site for ISA Server.
- Select Personal Information Exchange, and then click to select the check boxes for all three options.
- Assign a password and confirm it.
- Assign a file name and location.
- Click Finish. Make sure that you safeguard the file that you just created, because your ability to use the SSL protocol depends upon this file.
- Copy the file that you created to ISA Server.
How can I configure SSL on IIS web server?
This procedure assumes that your site has already has a certificate assigned to it.
- Log on to the Web server computer as an administrator.
- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double click Internet Services Manager.
- Select the Web site from the list of different served sites in the left pane.
- Right-click the Web site, folder, or file for which you want to configure SSL communication, and then click Properties.
- Click the Directory Security tab.
- Click Edit.
- Click Require secure-channel (SSL) if you want the Web site, folder, or file to require SSL communications.
- Click Require 128-bit encryption to configure 128-bit (instead of 40-bit) encryption support.
- To allow users to connect without supplying their own certificate, click Ignore client certificates.
Alternatively, to allow a user to supply their own certificate, use Accept client certificates.
- To configure client mapping, click Enable client certificate mapping, and then click Edit to map client certificates to users.
If you configure this functionality, you can map client certificates to individual users in Active Directory. You can use this functionality to automatically identify a user according to the certificate they supplied when they access the Web site. You can map users to certificates on a one-to-one basis (one certificate identifies one user) or you can map many certificates to one user (a list of certificates is matched against a specific user according to specific rules. The first valid match becomes the mapping).
- Click OK.
How can I configure SSL to use 128-bit encryption or better using mod_SSL on Apache web server?
This facility is called Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) and details you can find in the README.GlobalID document in the mod_ssl distribution. In short: The server has a Global ID server certificate, signed by a special CA certificate from Verisign which enables strong encryption in export browsers. This works as following: the browser connects with an export cipher, the server sends its Global ID certificate, the browser verifies it and subsequently upgrades the cipher suite before any HTTP communication takes place. The question now is: How can we allow this upgrade, but enforce strong encryption. Or in other words: Browsers either have to initially connect with strong encryption or have to upgrade to strong encryption, but are not allowed to keep the export ciphers. Although VTCA does not issue certificates with SGC, the following does the trick:
# allow all ciphers for the initial handshake,
# so export browsers can upgrade via SGC facility
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
< Directory /usr/local/apache/htdocs>
# but finally deny all browsers which haven't upgraded
SSLRequire %{SSL_CIPHER_USEKEYSIZE} >= 128
< /Directory>
How can I configure TLS/SSL for OpenLDAP 2.2x server?
After obtaining the required certificates, a number of options must
be configured on both the client and the server to enable TLS
and make use of the certificates. At a minimum, the clients must be
configured with the filename containing all of the Certificate
Authority (CA) certificates it will trust. The server must be configured
with the CA certificates and also its own server certificate
and private key.
Typically a single CA will have issued the server certificate and all of the trusted client certificates, so the server only needs to trust that one signing CA. However, a client may wish to connect to a variety of secure servers managed by different organizations, with server certificates generated by many different CA's. As such, a client is likely to need a list of many different trusted CA's in its configuration.
Server Configuration
The configuration directives for slapd belong in the global directives section of slapd.conf(5)
- TLSCACertificateFile <filename>
This directive specifies the PEM-format file containing certificates for the CA's that slapd will trust. The certificate for the CA that signed the server certificate must be included among these certificates. If the signing CA was not a top-level (root) CA, certificates for the entire sequence of CA's from the signing CA to the top-level CA should be present. Multiple certificates are simply appended to the file; the order is not significant.
TLSCACertificatePath <path>
This directive specifies the path of a directory that contains individual CA certificates in separate files. In addition, this directory must be specially managed using the OpenSSL c_rehash utility. When using this feature, the OpenSSL library will attempt to locate certificate files based on a hash of their name and serial number. The c_rehash utility is used to generate symbolic links with the hashed names that point to the actual certificate files. As such, this option can only be used with a file system that actually supports symbolic links. In general, it is simpler to use the TLSCACertificateFile directive instead.
TLSCertificateFile <filename>
This directive specifies the file that contains the slapd server certificate. Certificates are generally public information and require no special protection.
TLSCertificateKeyFile <filename>
This directive specifies the file that contains the private key that matches the certificate stored in the TLSCertificateFile file. Private keys themselves are sensitive data and are usually password encrypted for protection. However, the current implementation doesn't support encrypted keys so the key must not be encrypted and the file itself must be protected carefully.
TLSCipherSuite <cipher-suite-spec>
This directive configures what ciphers will be accepted and the preference order. <cipher-suite-spec> should be a cipher specification for OpenSSL. You can use the command
openssl ciphers -v ALL
to obtain a verbose list of available cipher specifications. Besides the individual cipher names, the specifiers HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, EXPORT, and EXPORT40 may be helpful, along with TLSv1, SSLv3, and SSLv2.
TLSRandFile <filename>
This directive specifies the file to obtain random bits from when /dev/urandom is not available. If the system provides /dev/urandom then this option is not needed, otherwise a source of random data must be configured. Some systems (e.g. Linux) provide /dev/urandom by default, while others (e.g. Solaris) require the installation of a patch to provide it, and others may not support it at all. In the latter case, EGD or PRNGD should be installed, and this directive should specify the name of the EGD/PRNGD socket. The environment variable RANDFILE can also be used to specify the filename. Also, in the absence of these options, the .rnd file in the slap user's home directory may be used if it exists. To use the .rnd file, just create the file and copy a few hundred bytes of arbitrary data into the file. The file is only used to provide a seed for the pseudo-random number generator, and it doesn't need very much data to work.
- Laserdisc { never | allow | try | demand }
This directive specifies what checks to perform on client certificates in an incoming TLS session, if any. This option is set to never by default, in which case the server never asks the client for a certificate. With a setting of allow the server will ask for a client certificate; if none is provided the session proceeds normally. If a certificate is provided but the server is unable to verify it, the certificate is ignored and the session proceeds normally, as if no certificate had been provided. With a setting of try the certificate is requested, and if none is provided, the session proceeds normally. If a certificate is provided and it cannot be verified, the session is immediately terminated. With a setting of demand the certificate is requested and a valid certificate must be provided, otherwise the session is immediately terminate
Here is a relevant snippet taken from slapd.conf

Laserdisc /path/to/server-key.pem
Telecaster /path/to/vtca_chain.pem
How can I push Virginia Tech Root CA cert via Active Directory?
Author: Zeb Bowden (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Version: 1.0
Step 0:
On a machine you will push the Virginia Tech Root CA cert to, browse to https://ra.eprov.iad.vt.edu and make sure you get an SSL warning saying the certificate was issued by a company you haven't chosen to trust.
Step 1:
Get Root CA cert from http://www.pki.vt.edu/ (Click install Virginia Tech Root CA Certificate, then download the certificate in CER or CRT format)
Step 2:
Create a new Group Policy Object either as a domain level policy or on a particular OU.
We suggest starting out with an OU with a limited number of non-production workstations accounts.
Step 3:
1. Edit your new GPO: Navigate to Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Public Key Policies.
2. Right click Trusted Root CA's and select All Tasks and then Import. (This will bring up a Certificate Import Wizard.)
3. Click Next, and then browse to the certificate file you downloaded in Step 1.
4. Click Next.
5. Click next again (you want this certificate to go in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store).
Clean up:
After you've got the certificate in the GPO you can delete the .cer or .crt file you downloaded in step 1.
After replication occurs you should be able to go to a machine that gets your new policy and do: secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce (for W2k) or gpupdate /force (for XP).
From the machine you used in Step 0, you should now be able to
go to https://ra.eprov.iad.vt.edu and not get an SSL warning or
anything. You should also be able to see a certificate "Issued to" the
Virginia Tech Root CA in the Trusted Root Certification
Authorities section of the certificates MMC.
How can I use certificates with servers like Tomcat and Jboss?
Note: download the Importkey.java file and instructions at: http://www.agentbob.info/agentbob/79-AB.html
- Generate a RSA key pair using the directions at How can I generate RSA key pair and make a PKCS #10 request using OpenSSL? and submit to IMS, save the private key as key.pem.
- Receive signed cert via IMS's email and save as cert.pem.
- Convert both private key and cert into DER format via these commands on the server:
- openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in key.pem -inform PEM -out key.der -outform DER
- openssl x509 -in cert.pem -inform PEM -out cert.der -outform DER
- Create a password protected keystore with the keytool utility and place the Trusted Root CA G2 and VT Global Qualified Server CA certificates in it.
- Edit ImportKey.java to suit your environment, updating it with the password of the previously created keystore should be sufficient.
- Run javac ImportKey.Java.
- Run "java -Dkeystore=<keystore_filename> ImportKey <key_filename> <cert_filename> <key_alias>".
- Modify your server configuration file to take new keystore and new password.
How do I create and install VT SSL Server cert for Windows 2008 Server using IIS Certificate Wizard?
Follow the directions provided at Create and install VT Server certificate using IIS wizard
How can I find my certificate by certificate serial number on the EJBCA website?
The serial number given for a cert in Mac keychain, doesn't work correctly for search for certificate on the EJBCA website, use the serial number that is called "other name" instead.
